Host Stephen Michael James sits down with the hilarious Alex Svarez at Uisce Irish Pub in Bellingham! 🍀 They kick things off joking about how Canada might become the “51st State” 🇨🇦🤪, and the West Coast’s playful desire to merge with our neighbors up north. They chat about Irish bars, border-crossing stories 🚷🌎, and growing up with parents on both sides of the border — like a real-life episode of “Family Feud” but with more pints of Guinness 🍺🍀.

.Alex shares how he started in comedy right around the time his marriage was ending — talk about timing! 💍🤣 Luckily, both of their marriages survived, and now they’re happily married to their comedy careers. They swap crazy stories from founding Last Laffs Comedy Club — what began as local shows turned into a full-fledged, off-the-beaten-path comedy hotspot (no mainstream allowed! 🚫🎤). Alex even recounts roasting a drunk heckler for 30 minutes, a story that still cracks everyone up 🍺🔥.

.They also dive into their love of punk rock, Canadian bands like Sum 41 and Billy Talent 🇨🇦🎶, and how music influences their comedy. Then, they shift gears to talk about Bert Kreischer — how Alex’s joke-a-day routine and tagging Bert eventually led him to open for him at the upcoming Great Outdoors Comedy Festival, happening September 12th in Vancouver! 🎉🌲

.Plus, wild TJ Miller stories, Alex’s upcoming gigs on the “Space Cowboys” Tour across Canada, and a quick chat about Canadian comedy censorship rules 🚨🎙️.

.This episode is packed with laughs, crazy stories, and a little Canadian pride! 🇨🇦

This is an emergency, folks — host Stephen Michael James is joined by his hilarious buddies Rob Conroy and Jake E Tee for a no-holds-barred, chaos-filled episode recorded in Jake’s secret bunker (because where else would you want to talk about Diddy and devil’s threesomes? 😈🔥💣). Fresh off smashing it at Whiskey Mile Bar in Kirkland, WA 🍻🎤, the guys dive into the shocking news of Sean “Diddy” Combs getting acquitted of some serious charges. 🚨💼🤯 They ask the tough questions: Do we even know what racketeering is? Do we care? Probably not. 😂🤷‍♂️.

From Diddy’s wild parties to some legendary stories of Jake’s own bash nights 🎉🎊, this episode's got more twists than a pretzel 🥨🤪. They go off the rails into topics like accidentally pimping in the early 90s 💃💰, selling food stamps (yeah, really 💸), clones 🧬🤖, internet blackmail 💻⚠️, and Diddy’s music that’s been stuck in your head since forever 🎶🔥. Stephen drops a hot take on the film Infinity Pool 🎥🌊, and Jake spills the tea on running an adult toy store with his wife back in the early 2000s 🍆💦—because nothing says “family-friendly” like that, right? 😂🙈.

Plus, they share cringe-worthy losing their virginity stories 🙈🔥, and Stephen rants about how his Seattle comedy podcast is one of the few still alive and kicking in the scene 🥁🎤🔥. Then it’s a full-blown tangent about hip hop culture, because why not? 🎤🎧🎶 The episode ends with Stephen teasing his upcoming projects — a documentary series 🎬📽️ and those hilarious “Rich Homie Lifecoach” sketches that are gonna blow your mind 🚀🤡🔥..
