J-L gets back to his roots on this episode - criticizing and picking apart someone popular who he believes is ready for a fall. Discussing Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, and several projects that range from OK to awful, J-L picks apart MacFarlane, television in general and predicts eventual doom. Defending MacFarlane is comedian Kevin Bartini, fighting to defend the legacy of the man who is voicing Stewie so much he is about to become the new Mike Myers.

Sometimes working in comedy allows you to meet and work with your heroes. Gary Gulman is one of J-L's all-time favorite comedians and was the guest to discuss comedy with J-L. It is a fun chat and was very tough for J-L to be anything but cheerful the whole hour. Plus Gary gives J-L his blessing to impersonate him in the new Comedy Academy web series!

J-L was just going to complain about Halloween and how it has jumped the shark, but then lots of people went beige and black face this weekend offering a chance to have some serious debate and discussion.

Joining J-L are comedians Luke Thayer and Ari Teman. They discuss lazy slutty costumes, annoying clever costumes, why Luke refuses to dress as Robin Thicke, Ari's college costume that got him protested and the disturbing implications for 2013 America of this weekend's most offensive costumes.

There are comedians. There are comedians who sell merchandise. And there are shameless t-shirt salesmen who perform at comedy clubs and should be brought before firing squads. This represents J-L's typically nuanced view on selling merchandise. Joining J-L for a discussion are comedians Kyle Ploof and Andy Sandford. The discussion is a must listen for comedians and will also open the eyes of non-comedians for how hard finances of stand-up can compromise the art of stand-up.

J-L promises this to be his last solo episode for a while, but he offers a new, slightly more structured format for the solo episode. After some housekeeping issues, J-L offers his movie of the week as well as TV recommendations. He then breaks down his comedy frustrations of the week and then goes on to offer a tired civics lesson on how the Tea Party is in a position to ruin America's political process for decades to come.

J-L goes off the reservation with this week's episode. He describes why friends make the worst comedy fans, the lack of professional respect in the comedy business, and why do-it-yourself success in comedy is as a big a myth as the American Dream. Agree, disagree, enjoy or hate - this is why you listen to and read Righteous P***k.

The big story of the last week in comedy was the assault of Daily Beast correspondent Josh Rogin at the DC Improv. Although this was the story to the outside world, the big news for the comedy community was that the alleged assailant was Dan Nainan. Nainan has cyber stalked and harassed J-L for the last two years, in addition to dozens of other comedians.

So to put a finishing touch on the big comedy story of the week J-L has three of Nainan's favorite targets on the podcast: Brian McGuinness, Rob Maher and Josh Homer. McGuinness shares some of Nainan's infamous e-mails, Maher describes Nainan's vicious e-mail to a relative of a deceased comedy legend and Homer describes having to use a lawyer to stop Nainan's harassment.

Just as television audiences witnessed the end of a run for a 52 year old meth dealer on Breaking Bad, so too did comedy see a 52 year old, morally bankrupt corporate comedian take a big spill. Enjoy this detailed description of Nainan's legendary exploits and a plea from 4 adversaries for him to get some help.

This is a solo episode for J-L and it may not all be as funny as you hope. J-L hypes up his brand new album KEEP MY ENEMIES CLOSER, offers some thoughts on Breaking Bad and then discusses his comedy career in a rather in-depth and personal way. Makes for good listening and a cautionary tale for young or new comedians.

As hot as it has ever been in college sports, J-L tackles the question of whether or not college athletes should be paid. In the guest seat is NYC comedian and former D-I football player Taylor Ketchum. It is a good discussion with a few jokes, some cool information about the D-I football lifestyle and how comedians are still way more exploited than college athletes. They agree there is a problem, but like many issues, the solution may be even harder to figure out.

J-L offers a quick, unusual endorsement for Bill de Blasio for NYC Mayor to kick off the podcast and then has a fun, thoughtful, well-rounded discussion on Syria (recorded at 930pm on the 9th so as up to date as possible) and the rest of the Middle East. J-L mostly rambles, makes jokes and takes shots at Israel while guest Mike Payne offers thoughtful commentary. Good stuff!

Dave Chappelle has been the talk of the comedy world after a show full of hecklers and light on punchlines in Hartford last week. J-L goes in with Josh Homer to discuss the Hartford show and all things Chappelle. There are tangents on racist bros, race in comedy, and whether arenas are really the right venue for storytellers. Great episode for comedy fans and comedians.

It is a solo episode this week, but J-L delivers the goods for sure. He rips Low Winter Sun to shreds, backs up Alex Rodriguez, praises Workaholics, destroys Comedy Central's new contest, questions if it is a good thing for comedy that so many people he knows personally are showing up with Letterman spots and then says why he is not that excited for Dave Chappelle's stand up comeback.

11 months ago Josh Homer told J-L to give stand up a full year before giving it up and it has been 11 months since that episode. Josh is back to discuss stand up comedy in general and J-L's career. Among the highlights are nice things Josh has to say about J-L's new album, nice things Patrice O'Neal had to say about J-L and why the stand up business may be headed for a catastrophic bubble popping. Also, Josh offers a reason to extend J-L's career. Great listen for fans of comedy or the 11 fans of J-L.

J-L is back from San Antonio and is offering his thoughts on the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival - specifically Colin Quinn's speech, Andy Kindler's speech (and the misleading and biased coverage of it) bashing Adam Carolla and why J-L may never become a successful comedian.

In lieu of a guest on the show, J-L gives the gift of more J-L = 2 tracks off of the forthcoming KEEP MY ENEMIES CLOSER, his new stand-up album set for release on September 24th.
