It was an absolute pleasure to speak with Andres Rosende aka Fancy B, the Executive Producer/Showrunner of the hit Podcast Bad Friends with Andrew Santino and Bobby Lee. Andres talks about being born in Spain and how he made his journey over to the US. He tells us a little about going to film school with George Kimmel, producing his first feature film for Netflix (The Devil Below), and becoming the producer of Bad Friends. We cover all the things about the job that make it interesting to us as well as some advice for people just starting out.

This week, I give a little behind the scenes of one of the most stressful things to produce about the second YMH Live streaming event with Tom Segura and Christina P during the peak of the pandemic. The idea was to do a live zoom call with Robert Paul Champagne, which turned into a complete logistical nightmare... for my friend Dan Kelley. We had to bring in a hired gun, who was a good friend of mine that decided not to look anything up about RPC before saying yes to the job. He had to babysit and chaperone him for 3-5 hours. On the live show, we talked to RPC for 5-10 minutes. Here's the 48 hours my friend Dan endured to make the zoom call happen for us.

Today's episode is a critique of a lazily written article by Kerry Howley for New York Magazine attempting to cancel Dr. Andrew Huberman using implied non-complaints from his ex lovers' friends, a lonely basket case of an author, and attacking the ethics of the basic mechanics of podcast monetization.

This week my guest is Ben Avery. We learn about his journey from dog food monger to podcaster. We find out we both have roots in the Lemon Party, what steps Ben took to teach himself useful skills in order to start taking on clients, and how to find "your people." We talk about the most important traits to have in order to start getting work, how to get better at your craft, and the risks of being in this business for a while.

The No Jumper podcast network evolved from a blog on Tumblr in 2011 to a podcast in 2016, and later into a network with various hip-hop themed shows. Point and Shoot's is a comedic commentary on No Jumper podcast incidents that got on my radar a few months back. He covered Adam22's meltdown on the @Whatever Podcast, offers entertaining insights and visual jokes. Point and Shoot's relentless roasting of of the No Jumper crew is juvenile but hilarious. He attacks other people on the crew like Sharp, 1090 Jake and Poetic Flakko. Addressing podcast commentators, like Point and Shoot, may amplify negativity, kind of like the "Streisand Effect," so creators should respond tactfully, if at all. Embracing critics, as seen with comedians like Big Jay Oakerson, Luis J Gomez, Dave Smith, Bert Kreischer and Steve O, can defuse tensions and redirect focus to collaboration rather than conflict.
