    Rap Battles, Cult Survivors, & Comedy Camp Chaos with the Princes of Persia

    🎙️ From rap battles to construction sites to cult survivors, this one has it all. In Episode 2 of "I Don't Know What This Podcast Is Called," host Levi J Anderson sits down with two of the Pacific Northwest's most dynamic comedians: DJ Kamoflage and Jake Woodmansee. Individually they're killer comics. Together, they tour as The Princes of Persia, a live comedy show that blends stand-up, improv games, and even live freestyle rapping. But this conversation is anything but a typical comedy interview. The trio kicks things off with a debate about the shortest month on the calendar (Black History Month, anyone?) before diving into the origin story of The Princes of Persia, which began with a kitchen freestyle session over some legendary chicken wings and evolved into an interactive live show featuring flag-waving pranks, HOA revenge fantasies, and live bands that keep everyone guessing. From there, things get real. Jake opens up about his unique approach to producing shows, benefit events that cut out the middleman and put money directly into the hands of people in need. He also shares stories about growing up in a cult, why kids should be focused on boogers and poop instead of politics, and the time he introduced a 22-year-old her first full Clif Bar. --- --- --- Want to start your own podcast? https://rss.com/?via=af5a42 --- --- --- 🎤 Episode Highlights: • How a casual freestyle session over chicken wings birthed an entire live show • Why construction sites are more fun with Lizzo and polka music • And a heartfelt reflection on being "the first one out" of a cult The Princes of Persia are a must-see live comedy experience—and this episode gives you a front-row seat to the friendship, chaos, and creativity behind the curtain. --- --- --- If you liked this episode and want to hear more, you know what to do.

    Funny Business with Taylor Clark and Jack Slattery

    In this raw and unfiltered conversation, veteran comedian Taylor Clark, along with Jack Slattery, join Levi Jacob Anderson for a deep dive into the realities of stand-up comedy — from addiction recovery, to baldness acceptance, to the gritty business side of building a career in comedy. Taylor brings over a decade of stage experience, sharing hard-won lessons about what it really takes to survive and thrive in an industry that's been completely transformed by social media. This episode isn't just about comedy — it's about showing up, doing the work, and finding contentment in the journey. Whether you're chasing a dream or just trying to get through the week, Taylor's perspective offers both wisdom and a much-needed reminder: the world doesn't end when you bomb. You can always get back up and do it better the next time. Episode Highlights 🎤 The Comedy Grind Taylor shares how he started at Seattle's Giggles Comedy Club (now Jiggles—yes, really) and why it took him 15 years to take comedy seriously. The conversation explores the difference between falling in love with performing and actually treating it like a career. 📱 Social Media's Double-Edged Sword A brutally honest discussion about how TikTok and Instagram have changed the game. Taylor admits the internal conflict of making "content" versus making art, and how he had to sacrifice comedic integrity to play the algorithm game. Jack pushes back, explaining why he refuses to let social media dictate his creative process. 💊 Addiction & Sobriety Taylor opens up about his journey to sobriety—quitting drinking and nicotine after years of struggle. He shares how Allen Carr's The Easy Way to Stop Smoking changed his life, and why he now views addiction recovery as psychological warfare rather than willpower. 🧑‍🦲 Baldness, Wigs & Feathers A hilarious tangent about male pattern baldness evolves into a pitch for a revolutionary business idea: feather wigs. The guys debate whether unapologetic wig-wearing could become the next big thing (especially if syphilis makes a comeback—yes, they go there). 💥 Bombing & Failure The conversation closes with a powerful reminder: bombing on stage isn't the end of the world. Taylor shares a story about a comic whose greatest fear was failure, until he bombed, walked off stage, and realized nothing happened. Life went on. The crowd moved on. And he felt invincible.
