The Carmen Ciricillo Show is a comedy podcast hosted by comedian Carmen Ciricillo. The CCS is an unscripted stream of consciousness about anything that has or is occurring in Carmen's life. Carmen was born in Berlin, Germany (not voluntarily) then shipped back to the States when he was 3 months old. He lived in like 10 different places in Cleveland, Ohio then was forced to move again to Bettendorf, Iowa. Carmen moved back to Cleveland to fulfill a lifelong dream of fighting with his cousins in the family construction business. In Cleveland, Carmen started doing stand up and got on the road again. After meeting his future wife, Kelly, Carmen moved with her to Los Angeles for two years then to Florida. His constant movement and inability to stabilize has wreaked havoc on his life and on those who are close to him but has also provided him the material needed for stand up. Because of his incessant need to talk Carmen has agreed to do this podcast that he was coerced into doing by Mike his producer.

The Artist
This is the walking pod. I'm doing the pod whenever I can and wherever and this time it's in back of a thrift store. I don't remember exactly what I was talking about here - I think I was in love with the weather and the landscape and the freedom of being an artist.

Do You Want to do the Hard Work?
Carmen did this pod while waiting in a minivan for his mom. How much life will you exchange for what you want? Carmen talks about his costs of doing the business of comedy and podcasting but not in financial terms but in how much of his life he spend on it. He is also simultaneously waiting for his mother to come out of her apartment to go to lunch.

Soft with a Purpose
Being soft is not bad. Being humble and grateful can be misconstrued as weakness. Carmen talks about his past and his experience on how he had to fake being tough to survive. He also acknowledges that he has had a hard time going with the flow. Carmen believes that those who make the flow go other directions are heroes. Being content is hard but it is important. Carmen wants to keep moving forward with some flows, being content with others but always growing and doing more. And remember this is from a comedian.

Bells and Whistles
Carmen's in the minivan in the garage making a clausterphobicky pod. Just back from Florida and his 3 weeks of gigging and traveling Carmen talks about boredom. Carmen says that you can trick your brain into believing that you got it better. The Bells and Whistles of life are just there to kill the boredom but you can kill the boredom with your own brain!! Scary.

Think Twice and Be Carefree
Carmen is driving and recording the pod during the latest Florida Hurricane threat. As he drives he talks about being carefree, thinking twice and remembering to look at a picture of yourself from 10 years ago. Everything is closing because of the hurricane and Carmen needs to get doughnuts and flowers for his wife's birthday tomorrow.

The Third Hand of Motivation
Carmen is in an AirBnb he doesn't trust. Maybe he's secretly being watched. He's not sure. He also doesn't like the weird smell at 3 am every night so he has to spray cologne on his upper lip before he goes to bed. This weekend he will be appearing at the Boca Black Box in Boca Raton and next week at Snappers in Ft. Myers. Come out and see hime for yourself.

Bare-Chested Entertainment
If you are looking for solid laughs and entertainment, then this podcast is for you. If you are wanting “facts”, get out of here, now. Carmen is the reluctant messiah who tries to impart life-lessons and advice to Mike and Donny. As a side note, I had always wondered what happened to the kid from Bad Santa when he grew up, but now he is living in FL and collaborating with Carmen. Keep up the great work fellas, this thing is gonna blow up eventually.
Good job
