You can't have a podcast series about getting arrested without this guest! Real Rich is a local comic that floats between the OC/LA comedy scenes, and most would agree that he is best described as your poor man's (Joey "Coco" Diaz) I knew this was going to be a great episode as soon as he told me "I can talk about jail but I DON'T talk about prison" We talk about his Fame in the Ukraine (youtube tribute) Going to Jail - Comedy Talk - and an off the rails political spiral of hilarity and misinformation. BONUS: My all time Favorite Real Rich clip  "I'll f**k You in the A$$ for fun" LINK

For Episode 20, I met up with a mutual friend Meilad and his sister Melahat (who are the new sponsors of this podcast!)

We talked in detail about that, how their dad was on the run from the Iranian Gov't, how they ended up as refugees and made their way to the United States, and how they are now L I V I N the American Dream.
