    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.

    #146 - Dave ***** & Alexis Ramirez

    Dave ***** is a very funny guy and new friend in New York.  He wanted to remain anonymous for this episode.  Originally from a rich town in New Jersey, Dave has been doing standup for the last 10 years, & you never know what he’s going to say.  I asked him for a bio, and he replied  “there’s no need to take him too seriously, but he does sincerely think the Earth is flat.”  He’s also Jewish and currently celibate.  Today Alexis, Dave, and I talk all about conspiracy theories:  The moon landing, JFK, Anthony Fauci, AIDS in the 80’s, Flat Earth, and at what age we started questioning the meaning of the universe. Dave is great, and his IG is linked below.  Enjoy!

Needs a new image

Super cool podcast but the image should be updated. It looks like a relationship podcast not a lifestyle and comedy podcast.
