Thank you so much to my new friends Sarah Cooper and Jennifer K. Johnson for answering my plea for last-minute guests!
Sarah and I chatted about moving from NY to SF, the perils of stand-up comedy and her awesome & hilarious blog, The Cooper Review: thecooperreview.com
And Jennifer called in to tell us about her May 6 production at Brainwash Cafe called "Not A Pinata" and about the history of the pinata.
Thank you again to you both!
Very big thanks to Erica Petry Ballesteros & Lennie Ballesteros for a fun chat that covered how Er & I hated each other until a giant block of ice changed that forever, how we became F.F.F. and some of our sillier adventures through the years, Lennie's comedy (and Erica's heckling of Lennie's comedy) and who tickled his feet when he was a baby!
Thank you to Anthony Medina of True Hustle Entertainment for another great chat which covered the dangers of consumerism, bringing comedy (and maybe other stuff) to the Brainwash Cafe 7 nights/week and a follow-up on his spiritual awakening/how he remains confident humans are not going to self-destruct! #loveyourself
Thank you to Robert A. Medeiros and Lilycat for a fun show which explored a wide variety of random topics including Bob's creepy stalker-ness, his 3-way relationship with Danny Dechi and Bob Benson and his theory that people born between 1968 & 1971 are more creative than anyone else, my new theme song and my "unconventional" life, and Lilycat's walk from work to Haight Street and my first man-on-the-street interview!
Anthony Medina and I ended up going on a podcast adventure that explored spirituality, the importance of connection & support, the power of positivity, the LA riots, the sex toy industry and why the truth is in the hustle. We even managed to touch on all the great comedy, music and burlesque events coming up for True Hustle Entertainment! Thank you to Anthony for a very fun show! #respectyourself

Thank you to Adrian, Damon, Landon and Nicole for a fun chat about Comedy Hack Day, Burning Man, Bitcoin, stand-up comedy and once again, my lack of knowledge of rap music!
Technical difficulties of the week: Forgot to take a selfie - or any pics - before Nicole left (please feel free to insert yourself on the couch in this panoramic view from my seat). Once again, forgot to turn the mics on after the break...DAMMIT! Sorry about that.
One (human) guest, lots o' pics! Many thanks to stand-up comedian, graphic novelist, baseball historian, thriving survivor of a stroke and a wacky stepmother, Ed Attanasio and his sidekick, Freddy, for a very fun and fast-moving 2 hours.
We had a wide-ranging chat which covered all of the above including Derek Jeter, baseball rivalries, Ed's book "Bushers" (find it on amazon), how he became an artist after his stroke, his stand-up comedy career highlight and his days doing drugs on the grounds of his seminary school!
