    #149 - Ryhaad Carroll

    Ryhaad Carroll is a comic from Brooklyn, NY.  That’s all he told me to put.  Ryhaad has been doing comedy for 4 years, plays the drums kind of, thinks his therapist isn’t actually listening to him, and is a fan of George Clooney.  He also thinks football is too Republican.  Had a great time catching up with Ryhaad – follow him at the links below, and watch his standup in NY.  Today we also listen to voicemails people left from last week in the intro.  They were pretty mean.  Hope you enjoy.  #standup #podcast CALL THE SHOW:  929-242-9502 Follow Our Guest: https://www.instagram.com/ryhaadcarroll/ https://twitter.com/ryhaadcarroll Follow My Other Stuff: David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbakker7/?hl=en The Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ididthisinsteadofkillingmyself/?hl=en The Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GGXI851tdRDK1XmiSgcMk David’s Twitter… https://twitter.com/davidbakker7 And TikTok… https://www.tiktok.com/@davidbakker7   Don’t Click This… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

    David Jin is an NYC based comic and self-described dumplin dealer of Queens.  His mom knows he does standup, but his dad doesn’t.  He also forwent a career as a surgeon to pursue comedy.  David is committed to standup.  He and I met in Atlanta 3 years ago, and bonded at the Comedy Cellar watching Aziz Ansari & Joe List’s special tapings, which was great, even though David’s crowd-work convo with Aziz was cut from the final version. Since then David has been very active in NYC, producing shows for Lil Dumpling Comedy @ Room 52, and co-producing Moms Couch Comedy (linked below).  His high energy comedy revolves around life growing up in New York and his medical school experiences in China.  We had a great time catching up.  Check him out at the links below.  Also we did an extended movie review in the intro w/Alexis (there’s a skip button if you want to use it).  Thx for listening. Love you.
