We take time to goof on the European Union. We mock the greatest living communist, Richard Wolff, who our boy Gene Epstein demolished at their Soho Forum debate. Forget the 100 million dead, Wolff’s bit on the PlayStation 5 is the strongest argument against communism. And Sean and I remember our collaboration on FEE’s animated series, Common Sense Soapbox.

Calvin has a great series, where he produces elaborate voicemail recordings. You can watch each one being made in real time on his TikTok …that is until TikTok is gone.

On this episode, Jon and I talk about the culture of wrestling—whose default setting is tough-as-nails—and we grapple with “Minnesota nice,” shitty service, and women who start fights their men have to finish. I’ve been reading Jon’s work for years, but if you’re looking for a good place to start, check out his viral piece about Starbucks and the decline of good manners and service. When those fall, we’re all doomed. Not just the venti-latte drinkers among us. Thanks to Elon Musk, my video, James Bond has a license to kill hate speech , has now reached __ million views.

Check out my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy https://amzn.to/3VhFa1r The next four years are going to be a lot of fun. In no small part because of my good friend Hatem Gabr, with whom I’ve co-produced live shows with Jimmy Dore, Colin Quinn, and the first Rutherford Comedy Festival. On this special collaboration between The Lou Perez Podcast and Live from America Podcast , Hatem and I catch up on NYC’s congestion pricing (which I might end up liking), technology and terrorism, and the California fires. The fires are bringing out some of the best in humanity, like The Gruels ( Calico Fish House ) and Mike Cernovich , who are raising money and feeding victims. Jackie Clark (my first improv coach) and Devon Tracey have such heartbreaking stories. If you’re able to help, please give where you can. My friend Matt Himes from The Blaze has written a powerful piece in the New York Post about losing his home in the fires. Please check it out. I loved living in California. California is still home to many people I love. And it's a state I want to return to. Here’s a song by Ray Bull that reminds me of my days in Cali, even though it came out nearly a decade after I’d moved back to the east coast.

We talked about: —How the safety of a city should not be judged on murder alone. —How Mayor Dinkins—not Rudy Giuliani—solved the scourge of squeegee men in NYC. —The people that “actually believe criminals represent a community.” —The death of the New York accent.

We talked free speech—including Jew hate on Substack, Facebook’s return to less censorious times , and Bluesky’s lynch mobs (its only target: my bud Jesse Singal). Angel’s in Manhattan, so we may have been charged congestion pricing at some point along the way. We shared a lot this episode. I shared one of my favorite short stories: “The Disappearance of Elaine Coleman” by Steven Millhauser . Angel shared a powerful quote from James Baldwin: “I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.” ―James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time And we both shared our love of Dominican TikTok/reels/redes sociales. ¿Eso son Reebok o son Nike?

During my tenure at We the Internet, I made the kind of comedy that gets you put on lists and your words in the Wall Street Journal: “How I Became a ‘Far-Right Radical.” How’d I start out? I began doing improv and sketch comedy while an undergrad at New York University, where I was part of the comedy group the Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz. For years, I performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (both in NYC and L.A.) in sketch shows with the Hammerkatz and my comedy duo, Greg and Lou. G&L are probably best known for our sketch "Wolverine's Claws Suck," which has over 20 million views across online platforms. I was a writer for Fox Sports' @TheBuzzer; produced The Attendants with the Above Average Network; produced pilots for FOX Digital and MSN Games; and was a comedy producer on TruTV's Impractical Jokers. I hosted the stand-up show Uncle Lou's Safe Place in Los Angeles, performed at the Big Pine Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and co-created the political comedy podcast Unsafe Space. I taught creative writing at the City College of New York, "writing the web series" for Writing Pad, and comedy writing workshops for the Moving Picture Institute.…

Check out my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy https://amzn.to/3VhFa1r Meet your heroes. Become friends with your heroes. Have your heroes on your podcast. With Christmas just days away, this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast with Scott Thompson and Paul Bellini of The Kids in the Hall and Mouth Congress was my gift-to-self. Unwrap this present to hear about the roots of The Kids, Scott’s bout with censorship at Amazon, and Mouth Congress’s new album, Valley of Song, which includes the tracks “Honk,” written in solidarity with the Canadian trucker convoy protests, as well as the ballad, “Booker,” about a guy who figures out how to make a really good living off of a lazy prostitute. Paul and Scott continue to create beautifully insane comedy. Whether it’s their new punk album or Scott’s one-man show with Buddy Cole. (After my wife and I caught King in NYC, we met up with Scott. To this day he doesn’t know what my wife’s voice normally sounds like, because Buddy had her laughing so hard that she lost it.) Join me this week at the first annual Williams Center Comedy Festival in Rutherford, NJ. https://www.williamscenter.co/comedyfest And if anyone knows about the drones I see flying above my house are doing, please let me know.

Check out my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy https://amzn.to/3VhFa1r “ I miss the days when people had real faces .” - Kirsten Fleming , features columnist at The New York Post and my guest on the pod. We discuss Kirsten’s coverage of the Daniel Penny case from both inside and outside the courtroom and the many details of the case that commenters (at least online) are leaving out. As two life-long New Yorkers, Kirsten and I both have subway horror stories, which we share on the episode. But our conversation is not all doom and gloom. We took some time to celebrate the legacy of Saint John’s legendary coach Lou Carnesecca, who will forever live in my heart as Coach Drymeat.

I thought I knew Andrew Heaton, but the son of “Hanging” Judge Joe gets more and more interesting with every conversation. The man’s got a new book out, and even though he thinks Tribalism Is Dumb, I insist he’s in my tribe—whether he likes it or not. If you enjoy Heaton’s voice you’ll love the audio version of Tribalism Is Dumb. https://amzn.to/4eViUS3 We talk cowboy boots, Hanlon’s razor, my election-night run-in with Dr. Phil’s biggest hater, Daryl Davis’s “fetish,” and inter-tribal dating.

PODCAST COPY Check out my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy https://www.amazon.com/dp/1637582455 If you’ve been following my work over the past 10 years, you’ve met Brandon Bassham . Although Brandon hasn’t appeared on screen in any of my projects, he’s been behind some of my favorite sketches and darkest jokes, like The Problem with Apu -inspired “The Problem with Bumbleebee Man.” On this episode, I talk with Brandon about horror, comedy, and his work with Troma , which includes his feature film Fear Town, USA and his latest, Bring on the Damned! (in which I play a small but memorable sex-creep role). And we spend a little time remembering the great Robert Schimmel, a dirty comic who was so good, even Brandon’s mother—who hated dirty comics!—loved him.
