The Lubyanka Criminal Group is another name for Russia's version of the CIA. They are known as the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB). Today on World on Drugs I'm going to talk about how the FSB was responsible for directing two civil wars and putting Vladimir Putin in a position of power. Beyond war and contract killings, we'll also cover how they decided to poison their enemies who tried to stop them or spoke out against them. The FSB still carries plenty of power today and will continue to do so as long as Vladimir Putin holds the Presidency of Russia. GUEST FRANK CASTILLO @frankcastillo Frank Castillo grew up in San Jose, CA. When he moved to LA, he worked his way up at the iconic Los Angeles venue The Comedy Store and was passed as a Paid Regular. Frank became a staple of The Comedy Store Roast Battles, and in January of 2017, Frank became the Champion of Roast Battle II on Comedy Central. Frank can be seen in the Showtime documentary The Comedy Store, in Mike Binder's upcoming feature Halfway To Amarillo, and most recently released his first album Lupe with Comedy Dynamics.

The unconventional raw dark side of a stand-up comedian Jessica Michelle Singleton Raw and fast-paced, Jessica Michelle Singleton (JMS) has built a reputation with audiences thanks to her high energy, overly honest, dark, and dirty performances. Her #1 debut comedy album put her on the map as one of the future greats and since its release, she's gone on to become a Paid Regular at The Comedy Store (as seen on the Showtime series of the same name), and tours all across the world from the US to Asia, and Europe down to South Africa.   Most recently, she recorded a chart-topping country song, shot a special produced by Iliza Shlesinger (winner of Last Comic Standing) toured with and wrote for Melissa Villasenor of Saturday Night Live, and now her highly anticipated second album, “Horny for Death” is scheduled for release later this year and will premier on SiriusXM's Raw Dog comedy station.

In today's episode, I describe how coaches, mentors, and masterminds can support your career transition. My first mentor was an internist I met through my volunteer work in continuing medical education at my hospital and state medical society. He encouraged me to pursue a career in hospital management. What are the characteristics of a MENTOR? Here are a few... Volunteer Informal Infrequent Self-selected Growth-oriented Directional / advice What is a COACH? Paid Formal Therapy-like Regular schedule Less directive Goal-oriented What are the differences between a mentor and a coach? Growth-oriented vs. goal-oriented Unpaid vs. paid Intermittent and infrequent vs. regularly scheduled Often ongoing vs. time-limited What is GROUP coaching? Similar to coaching with multiple members Paid Regular meetings Less directive Less costly to purchase More reach for the coach What is a MASTERMIND group? My first experience with a mastermind group grew out of my experience with executive coaching. Every month or two, all of the senior executives at the hospital where I was CMO would dedicate one of our scheduled meetings to a special session. During that session, one of the C-suite executives would take the metaphorical "hot seat." Once there, the facilitator/coach would start by asking the subject to describe the major challenge in their job that they wanted to discuss. Then the rest of us would spend the next 20 to 30 minutes asking questions to obtain clarity about the problem. Then we'd explore what had been tried already to resolve it. We would ask probing questions. Ultimately, the subject on the hot seat would define the next steps based on insights and ideas inspired by the group. It was amazing how often this erudite and accomplished person could find solutions through the mastermind that they had previously been unable to discover on their own. The mastermind never failed to generate new ideas and instill a level of accountability that was otherwise not attainable. Characteristics of a mastermind group: A concept described by Napoleon Hill and others since the 1940s Used mostly by business leaders and entrepreneurs to create breakthroughs and accelerate their success It requires a facilitator It can be done in a variety of formats Monthly meetings for months to years Weekly or biweekly for a shorter duration Larger groups over a weekend retreat Face to face or online Some are free – many are paid  Benefits Peer accountability Brainstorming Support Networking Real-time education A catalyst for success These three tools can be used to accelerate career transition. Each has its strengths. And there is nothing wrong with using all three. In some ways, they are complementary to one another.

This past weekend AJ and Petey went to Madison, Wisconsin to see a comedian that goes by the name of Ari Shaffir. He was first largely known as The Amazing Racist via a series of hidden camera videos wherein he would be a racist, bigoted Jew and simply film the reactions. After a few of those, many death threats, touring the nation/world and years climbing the ladder at the world famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles, California: he is now one of the best standup comedians in the game with a true and non-compromising passion for the art. He has a show on Comedy Central titled: This Is Not Happening. A show that allows comedian to tell true, yet nearly unbelievable stories from their lives. He's also got 2, 1-hour long specials out Revenge For The Holocaust and Paid Regular, both are available for purchase at arithegreat.com with a new one being recorded in October of this year. Give the man some love. The rest of the trip was filled with booze, new friends, amazing food and a beautiful trip through a small part of the Midwest. Guys, get out there and have some fun. During the episode we mentioned the two accolades that our Über driver had, if you are interested in knowing more or simply seeing that he wasn't full of shit here are the 2 links that he directed us to...what a cool guy.

This time, Aj, Jared and Petey sat down one lovely Saturday and watched 3 comedy specials and then got behind the microphones and discussed what we thought of the shows. We looked at Tom Segura's, Mostly Stories, Tony Hinchcliffe's, One Shot and Ari Shaffir's, Paid Regular. These are 3 of my (Petey) favorite comedians in the game today and my god do they deliver on side splitting hilarity. All three of them are West Coast comedy pros and you can tell. A lot of people don't realize that there is a surprising difference in how East and West coast comedians do what they do. Between they way they work out to the general delivery styles that tend to lend themselves to the aforementioned regions. Comedy is magic.

The story of how I became a paid regular at the Comedy Store. From when I started comedy to when I got passed to when I made the announcement that I'll be filming my special in the Original Room. This was originally the intro to episode 180: Haole 5-0 but I thought I'd upload it on it's own the day my special comes out. It airs tonight (Friday night) at midnight/11pm central on Comedy Central. It's called Paid Regular and it's available at www.AriShaffir.com or at Comedy Central On Demand.

Jeff Danis and Ryan O'Neill came over to my AirBnB in LA while I was in town to film my special, Paid Regular. We talked about the open mic at the Comedy Store known as potluck. It was a parade of lunatics. In its prime, potluck was one part freak show, one part standup show, and two parts club soda. Seriously, you had to see it. And I talked to Danish & O'Neill about what it was like hosting that mother week after week. Always great when these guys are on and this one is no exception. And don't forget to watch my special on Comedy Central Friday night January 16 or get the extended version at www.arishaffir.com
