It's a hilarious and heartfelt Chit Chat Wednesday as Jared Freid sits down with comedian Eric Neumann, fresh off the release of his brand-new YouTube special, Almost Engaged. Together, they dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of love, heartbreak, and the comedy that comes from it all.Eric opens up about his not-quite engagement and the real-life relationship that inspired the special, including his brother's chaotic divorce and the now-infamous couch painting that came with it. The two comics explore the tricky process of turning personal pain into punchlines, the healing power of yoga, and why post-breakup dating is its own kind of trauma response. Jared shares his experiences with joke-building after a breakup, the moments that still make him cringe (including the coffee bit that got him on The Tonight Show), and how to know when it's time to let go of material and people.From the origin story of “Napkin Neumann” at the Comedy Cellar to a deep discussion on vulnerability, timing, and growing past heartbreak, this episode is packed with honesty, laughter, and insight into how comedians turn real-life chaos into cathartic comedy.Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors!Get 10% off your Hero Bread order with the code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co

The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the profound connection between artistic expression and personal surrender, particularly in the context of the speaker's musical journey. We delve into the creation of the album titled "if in case you feel the same," which began in 2016 and faced numerous delays due to external pressures from the record label. The speaker recounts the moment of clarity when they resolved to release the album amidst a global pandemic, asserting that the music was "looking for a fight." This decision led to unexpected recognition, including being invited to perform on "The Tonight Show" shortly after contemplating a career shift. Ultimately, the conversation underscores the unpredictable nature of artistic endeavors and the importance of remaining open to the possibilities that arise, even when one considers stepping away from their passions.Takeaways: The creation of art is an evolving journey that often involves significant delays and challenges. The album 'if in case you feel the same' was conceived in 2016 but released amid a pandemic in 2020. Artists frequently navigate the complexities of their relationships with record labels regarding release decisions. Music serves as a powerful medium for connection, often leading to profound conversations between artists and their audiences. Surrendering to the unpredictability of a creative career can lead to unexpected opportunities and recognition. The act of making music embodies a sense of service, aiming to resonate with listeners on a deeper level. Companies mentioned in this episode: Jimmy Fallon The Roots

The Price Is Right host and comedy legend Drew Carey dishes on his journey from counting pennies in Cleveland to making millions in Hollywood!Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEdFull show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1153What We Discuss with Drew Carey:Drew Carey experienced extreme financial hardship before fame, counting pennies, putting only $2 of gas in his car at a time, and eating macaroni with water instead of milk because he couldn't afford both butter and milk.Drew's appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1991 was career-defining. He had visualized the entire sequence in real-time the night before, and it happened exactly as he'd dreamed it, including Carson's "You're funny as hell" comment.Comedians often become less funny as they get more successful because wealth insulates them from the everyday frustrations that fuel comedy. When you're rich, you lose touch with common annoyances that connect you to your audience.The "perfect bid" incident on The Price is Right wasn't cheating, but exposed how the show had become predictable. Super-fans memorized prices from the limited rotation of items, leading to changes in how the show operates.Growth mindset is essential for staying relevant and happy. Drew still attends EDM music festivals, keeps up with new slang, and constantly looks to learn and evolve: "Once you stop growing, that's the end of you."And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

He enjoys traveling the world making people laugh.  Charles Walden was raised in the rough and tough inner city of Philadelphia and had to struggle and survive like any other kid in the inner city. He got No breaks just because he had Cerebral Palsy. He was not babied at all by family, friends, or the community. He had to put his pants on one leg at a time like every other boy or man. He had to overcome many obstacles. There was a lot of mental and physical pain he endured from living and growing up in the inner city of Philadelphia. The death of his mother crushed him, but he kept going. She was his rock. Many years have passed since her death and the pain never goes away but he keeps going. Charles' greatest pleasure is when he's on stage performing as he gives his audiences the most inspirational laughing good time they've had in a long while.  Charles Walden is not embarrassed or ashamed of his Cerebral Palsy and has incorporated his condition in a unique way into his standup comedy show.  Charles is proud to say stand up comedy has giving him the opportunity to perform on some iconic TV shows and stages such as BETs Comic View, Martin Lawrence 1st Amendment and even Def Comedy Jam's All-Star Season, to name a few.  Charles is a requested favorite to perform at  colleges, universities, comedy clubs, churches and military bases across the Country.

Mike Sweeney started writing for Conan O'Brien 30 years ago and has been right there by his side ever since. His work has fueled not only the host's two big late-night shows—with a tumultuous stint on the ‘Tonight Show' in between—but also his recent gig hosting the Oscars and his newest project, the travel show ‘Conan O'Brien Must Go,' which arrives Thursday, May 8 on Max. In this episode, Sweeney discusses this particularly momentous time in O'Brien's career, including how Donald Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center threatened to derail his acceptance of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor (streaming Sunday, May 4 on Netflix). Instead, like with so much of their other work together, Sweeney and O'Brien found a way to marry a hopeful outlook on the world with deeply silly jokes.

Were you Team Coco or Team Jay?  We're referring to the highly publicized battle that occurred between Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien over “The Tonight Show” back in 2010. And if you remember that, you may also recall a similar rivalry that took place years before– this time between Jay Leno and Dave Letterman.  But these late night talk show conflicts are just part of what we cover in Part 2 of this lively episode on late night talk shows. Here's a glimpse at a few other events that come up… What secret deal helped Jay Leno land the spot as Johnny Carson's replacement? How did Conan O'Brien strike back at NBC when he felt he'd been mistreated by the network? What heartfelt Craig Ferguson monologue from 2007 is now legendary? And which talk show host ended the NBC ban on Joan Rivers by inviting her on his show? We give you plenty to talk about in this fun episode!

Jimmy addresses the latest news, like Trump having the lowest 100-day approval rating, before speaking with Anna Kendrick and Chef José Andrés.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 121: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: The District Attorney for New Orleans Jason Williams must indict and issue arrest warrants for Tom Homan, Kristi Noem (Now With 8 Action Adventure Dress-Up Outfits) and the other members of the ICE Gestapo who disappeared a two-year old New Orleans born girl and sent her to Honduras - possibly making up a story that her Honduran-born mother wanted to take her with her - AND also abducted and renditioned a four-year old US Citizen toddler with Stage 4 Medication and sent her and her mother to Honduras, too. The charges should be led by Child Trafficking, kidnapping, violation of 5th and 14th Amendment rights, and be predicated on the fact that ICE has degenerated into a violent gang threatening the safety of Americans. Throw the RICO act at the Brownshirts. The event was so egregious, so redolent of Moral Cannibalism, that the Trump Appointee judge who brought the case to public attention and tried to stop it referred in his writings to their plane being above "The Gulf of America." But he also voiced his "strong suspicion that the government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process." Indictments of Noem and the others may be fruitless. But it will at least symbolize that democracy will at least fight back against what Trump is doing: which is verging on Ethnic Cleansing. MEANWHILE IN WISCONSIN the ICE stormtroopers who arrested a judge in her courtroom for not collaborating with a raid should themselves be arrested. And unlike Trump, authorities there will not have to fabricate or pervert laws to do so. PLUS I'll analyze Trump's sudden pathetic pleadings to Putin, his bat guano crazy interview with Time, and most imperatively, his writing that he suspects Putin is "just tapping me along." There is no indication anywhere that this phrase "tapping me along" has ever been used by anybody else, ever. There is every indication Trump's mind may have now degenerated further into the stage where he is making up his own words and phrases. B-Block (36:00) Dedicated to Karoline Leavitt whose first and last names both contain the letters for the word "lie." Trump himself gets a bronze for boasting about spending $58,000 of his own money on behalf of the country while he syphons off millions daily. The runner-up is Ed Martin and his embrace, then disengagement, from the world's stupidest looking Hitler cosplayer. But the winner again is Bill Maher, who perpetuates his career-ending decision to go to the White House for dinner with Trump. He claims Larry David's soon-to-be-Pulitzer-Prize winning satire of the event has insulted "six million dead Jews" because of the comparison between Trump and Hitler: "I think the minute you play the ‘Hitler’ card, you’ve lost the argument." Ooops. It's a shame Bill's memory is so damaged. Guess who played the Hitler card, made the comparison to Trump, and thus presumably lost the argument? Twice? On his own show? IN 2015? C-Block (46:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Someone mentioned the great Cornell astronomer and planetary scientist and 26-time Tonight Show guest Carl Sagan and I was flashed back. Sure enough, it was 47 years ago last week that he won a Pulitzer Prize. Our Cornell radio station called him for an interview and he said yes, on one condition: "Is your sportscaster Keith there? I want him to do it. He gets it." This would be the first time I ever interviewed anybody famous, and he requested me, even though we'd never met. I'm as stunned now as I was then, and I'll explain why it happened. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a recent interview, former ‘Tonight Show' host Jay Leno discusses his early comedy days, revealing the odd places he would perform, including state prisons, sorority parties, and brothels. He also opens up about getting his start on Johnny Carson and his relationship with Dave Letterman, and he offers insight into the NBC late-night debacle with Conan O'Brien.

Join Geoff and Whisp as they grapple with plummeting radio ratings (from #1 to #10 and then #20!). They blame a disastrous “98.6 The Squirt" ad buy and explore the questionable comfort of Chatbot therapy. This episode takes a wild turn with Marvel "What If...?" scenarios, the dangers of Val Verde's Pac-Man Fever-a-Thon, and a truly unforgettable interview with Zimothy Larson (Mike Drucker), the eccentric owner of "Bookshelf Books." Zimothy's struggle with names, his disdain for James Patterson (except during "Eruption"), and the legacy of his father's "Zavid's Sexy Books" add to the chaos.Sponsored by:Chatbot TherapyBullins Funeral HomeGuest Starring: Mike Drucker (Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Mystery Science Theatre 3000)Check out Mike's book, “Good Game, No Rematch!”https://www.harpercollins.com/products/good-game-no-rematch-mike-drucker?variant=43103018024994Here's how to support Val Verde's choice for rock, 108.9 The HawkSubscribe to the podcast on Spotify, Apple, or whatever you listen on!Give a five-star review on Apple Podcasts!Get official merch: http://tee.pub/lic/goodrockshirtsEarly access & bonus shows: https://patreon.com/1089thehawkFollow us on social media: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, ThreadsLearn more & sign up for our mailing list: https://1089thehawk.comAnd most importantly, tell your friends about 108.9 The Hawk. 

It's Monday, April 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Indonesian Church closed the day before Easter The joyful atmosphere of the Easter weekend celebration at the Ecumenical Christian Communion congregation in Java, Indonesia, turned sorrowful when local government officials sealed the prayer house building on Saturday, April 19, one day before Easter, reports International Christian Concern. The sealing occurred only one day after the congregation held a Good Friday procession to mark one of the three holy days of Easter at their Prayer House.  250,000 attended Pope Francis' funeral Pope Francis' funeral took place in St. Peter's Square on Saturday morning, attended by 250,000 people, before his body was taken to his place of burial across the city, reports LifeSiteNews.com. (audio from male choir) Following the funeral, Francis' body was transferred back inside St. Peter's Basilica before then being placed into a popemobile. His coffin was transported across the city, making a ceremonial tour of Rome's historic center including the Colosseum and Roman Forum. In a rare break from tradition, Francis chose not to be buried inside St. Peter's Basilica, like many of his predecessors. Instead, he selected the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome as his final resting place, reports ABC News. President Trump's fashion faux pas at Pope's funeral Unlike the other heads of state who were dressed in black, U.S. President Donald Trump wore a blue suit and blue tie.  By contrast, First Lady Melania Trump wore a black dress and black veil. The official dress code for the funeral at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City required men to wear a dark suit with a black tie and a black button on the left lapel. Women were asked to wear long black dresses, gloves, and a veil. Former Democratic judge harbored El Salvadoran gang member Attorney General Pam Bondi said that one of the three illegal aliens involved in the arrest of a former Democratic New Mexico judge had images of a decapitated victim on his cell phone, reports The Blaze.com. Bondi offered the revelation as evidence that the illegal alien, allegedly harbored by former Judge Jose "Joel" Cano, was a member of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang from El Salvador. In February, Cano resigned from his office after his residence was searched. Last Friday, the former judge was arrested. Democrats have objected to the arrest and accused the Trump administration of abusing government powers.  When Bondi appeared on Fox News, she explained why the judge was arrested. BONDI: “Judge Cano is charged with allegedly giving him assault rifles, AK47s, AR15s, with a suppressor, a known [Tren de Aragua] member, letting him go to a shooting range to refine and perfect his shooting skills.” She added that Judge Cano has been charged with obstruction, saying, “He admitted post-Miranda [that] he took one of the TDA members' cell phones himself —beat it with a hammer, destroyed it, then walked the pieces to a city dumpster to dispose of it to protect him." Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre dies by suicide Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted pedophile, took her own life last Thursday, reports the New York Post. In a statement to NBC News, the 41-year-old's family said, “It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.” Giuffre took legal action against billionaire financier Epstein in 2015, alleging that she was sex trafficked at age 16 after his ex-lover and convicted madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, recruited her from her job as a locker room attendant at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. She is survived by her three children -- Christian, Noah and Emily. The mom of three also alleged she was forced to have relations with disgraced Prince Andrew three times when she was 17 — including at Epstein's Little St. James island, in New Mexico and in Maxwell's London home, where the notorious photo of her posing with King Charles' brother was taken. While Prince Andrew denied the allegations, he settled out of court with his accuser for a hefty $12 million in 2022. Her family told NBC News, “In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.” Jay Leno, whose wife has advanced dementia, honors marital vows And finally, in a new interview on In Depth with Graham Benzinger, comedian Jay Leno, who hosted NBC's The Tonight Show for 20 years, revealed that he's been caring for his wife, Mavis, who has advanced dementia for five years now. LENO: “We've been married 45 years. The first 40 unbelievable, last five have been challenging. When you have to feed someone and change them and, you know, carry them to the bathroom and do all that kind of stuff every day, it's a challenge. Leno referenced his wedding day vow. LENO: “I like taking care of her. When I got married, you sort of take a vow. Will I live up to this or will I be like a sleazy guy or something happens to my wife? That's really what love is. I'm glad I didn't cut and run. I'm glad I didn't run off with some woman half my age, or any of that silly nonsense, you know?” 1 Corinthians 13:4 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. …” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, April 28th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

NOTHIN' COMES EASY: The Life of Rodney Dangerfield (April 29, 2025) is the first biography of the "bug-eyed, sweaty, herky-jerky, tie-pulling comedian with the doleful countenance." Dangerfield's indelible beat-down image was played for laughs, but there were sad truths behind his sad-sack persona. TV writer Michael Seth Starr has crafted an immensely entertaining bio of the comedian's slog up the show business ladder. Ten years as a C-level stand-up comedian, he quit the business to sell aluminum siding and paint to keep the lights on. Then he went back to the clubs under an entirely new name, from Jack Roy to Rodney Dangerfield. A career-changing appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show at the ripe age of forty-five would be the lucky break, opening doors to television, movies, and comic fame at last. His catch phrase, "I don't get no respect," underscored his circuitous rise to the top after years of setbacks and grit. "What stood out for me, in authoring this book," writes Starr, '"was Dangerfield's perseverance in the face of such overwhelming odds. I was impressed at how he launched a second comedy career as a man already in his forties and out of the game for a decade. He never abandoned his undeniable urge to get back in the game and to share his seemingly unending reservoir of magical one-liners." At the beginning of his comeback, he began writing jokes for comedians like Jackie Mason and Joey Bishop, in the days before the "no respect" persona was solidified. He worked agentless, making his own deals. And it took him a solid five years to clinch his now celebrated debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. It took another few years of hustling on the circuit before he landed on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, which opened a wealth of doors in Hollywood. Dangerfield's comedy style - a self-mocking angst, the comedy of the perpetual loser - was endearing and universal. He was the schlubby Everyman snubbed by life, finally making it big. Soon Dangerfield would be leaving his mark in films, most famously in Caddyshack and Back to School. He was rebuffed in later years by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - which refused him membership. But Dangerfield had already cemented his place in comedy history as a writer and performer. When he died in 2004, his death made international headlines. Among his pallbearers were George Carlin, Roseanne Barr, Chris Rock, Larry David, Andrew Dice Clay, Jon Lovitz, and Carl Reiner. The book closes with a highly engaging chapter, "Riffs on Rodney," with remembrances of the comic from his peers including Jay Leno, Rita Rudney, Bob Nelson, Robert Wuhl, and Pauly Shore. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

On this week's motivation monday, I'm talking to Alison Arngrim.  New York Times Best Selling author of Confessions of A Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated, Alison Arngrim is best known to viewers world-wide for her portrayal of the incredibly nasty “Nellie Oleson” on the much loved, long running hit television series Little House On The Prairie, and continues to amuse audiences through her many film, television, stage and multi-media appearances. Her one woman show Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, which started at Club Fez in New York in 2002, has now become a world-wide phenomenon, having been performed to packed houses in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Green Bay, San Francisco, Seattle, and in France, where Arngrim performs entirely in French to standing room only crowds in her all-French version titled: Confessions d'une Garce de La Prairie and La Malle aux Tresors de Nellie Oleson. As a stand-up comedian, Arngrim has headlined at nightclubs such as the Laugh Factory, the Comedy Store and the Improv in Los Angeles; as well as the Laurie Beechman Theatre in New York and assorted comedy venues across the United States and Canada. She is currently starring in two comedy series pilots: Life Interrupted, as the ex-wife of commercial child star Mason Reese, with Erin Murphy, (“Bewitched”) as her new wife and Dawn Wells, (“Gilligan's Island), as her mother, as well as, C.P.R. – Child Performers Resurrection Talent Agency, as an ex-child star gone wrong, trying to save herself and her assorted misfit cohorts by opening a talent agency. Arngrim has mocked her status as an “ex-child star” on Jay Leno's Tonight Show, during their month-long parody, “Hollywood Survivor” and continues to be a frequent interview subject on everything from A&E, “E! Entertainment, TV Land and VH-1, to CNN and the Travel Channel. The TV Land network honored her undying image as TV's worst bitch, by declaring her the winner of their 2006 award for, “Character Most Desperately In Need Of A Time Out.” She starred in the heartwarming, gay, Christmas cult classic, Make the Yuletide Gay, as the overbearing “Heather Mancuso.” Her other television and film appearances include, Livin' the Dream, Tinder & Grinder, The Bilderberg Club, For the Love of May with Ru Paul and Patricia Neal, and The Last Place On Earth with Billy Dee Williams and Phyllis Diller. In 2007, she began her foray into French cinema with the role of “Edith” in the French detective comedy, Jean Pierre Mocky's Le Deal. Her stage work includes, The Vagina Monologs, Sirena: Queen of the Tango, Dear Brutus, The Wool Gatherer, the French bedroom farce, In One Bed And Out The Other, Michael Kearns' AIDS/US II, “Rita” in the 2005 GLAAD Award nominated production of Last Summer At Bluefish Cove, the somewhat off kilter “Reverend Pat Miass” in Joni and Gina's Wedding, and the Ovation Award Nominated musical-drama, Flirting with Morty, as the abusive, trashy and tragic Ray Lee. In her spare time, she takes tourists on the rollicking comedy outing, Nasty Nellie's Tour of Hollywood, (featured at Dearly Departed Tours), where she simultaneously enlightens and amuses passengers with behind the scenes tales from both Hollywood history and her own life.   Offstage, Arngrim has been a dedicated and compassionate AIDS activist for nearly three decades, volunteering for AIDS Project Los Angeles and Tuesday's Child, an organization assisting children and families affected by HIV and AIDS. In addition, Arngrim currently serves as California Chair, National Spokesperson and Founding Board Member on the National Advisory Board of The National Association to Protect Children, or PROTECT.org, fighting to give children a legal and political voice in the war against child abuse.
