The Lou Perez Podcast - Jason Noto 57:43

Play Pause

18h ago57:43

57:43

What I like about Substack is that its algorithm doesn't feed me things that will only make me angry — unlike some other social-media platforms, where you should totally be following me. If I'm not angering you here — I most definitely will over there. So I have the Sub coders to thank for feeding me Jason Noto. On this episode of The Lou Perez Pod…

The Lou Perez Podcast - Brett R. Smith 1:01:02

8d ago1:01:02

1:01:02

I'm joined by comic-book artist and colorist Brett R. Smith, who's worked with DC Comics, Marvel, and Rippaverse. We talk about the problem with comic books today, Val Kilmer's greatest performances, and why Romancing the Stone works and The War of the Roses doesn't. Check out my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Come…

54:41

I talk with my friend, author, filmmaker, and pop culture historian, Mathew (with one "t") Klickstein about Troma and Lloyd Kaufman's connection to Shakespeare; accessible asexuals; the one lack of representation you never hear about; and The Kids of Widney High.

The Lou Perez Podcast - Lisa De Pasquale 1:03:56

22d ago1:03:56

1:03:56

I had a great time talking with Lisa De Pasquale about life after losing 170 pounds and her new book, The Gen X Handbook for Middle Age. Ozempic means lots of thin women with fat-girl personalities. What a fun time to be a single guy! Check out my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy https://amzn.to/3VhFa1r Watch …

The Lou Perez Podcast - Kendric Tonn 56:21

29d ago56:21

56:21

Kendric Tonn is a painter. He paints. Not houses. Oil painting. On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast I talk with Kendric about classical painting, Florence (the city, not my mother), El Museo del Prado, art collecting, and how he sees the world as a painter vs how I see the world as a comedian. Kendric gives a helpful tip on how to appreciate a…

1:17:26

Today I'm joined by The Radicalist David Josef Volodzko, news editor and senior writer at The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. If you have the means, FIRE is a great place to donate to. (Don't let the fact that I used to work for them sully your view of the premiere free-speech organization in the world.) David and I talk about his …

The Lou Perez Podcast - Michael Regilio 59:14

1M ago59:14

59:14

This week's episode is a collaboration with comedian Michael Regilio, host of Regilio v Everything. We talk about being dumb, young, and punk—which for Michael meant being a young Republican in high school. I take a trip down memory lane of that time I was cancelled in Dallas. And Michael shares with me all the insane things I had no idea were happ…

The Lou Perez Podcast - Lucy Biggers 1:00:32

2M ago1:00:32

1:00:32

The Free Press's Lucy Biggers went from climate-crisis influencer to climate-alarm denier. I have no clue how big this episode's carbon footprint is, but it's worth all the coal we burned to make it happen. Lucy and I talk about her beginnings at NowThis, why climate change doesn't scare us anymore, hipsters bringing back dung stoves, and how all t…

The Lou Perez Podcast - Rian Stone 1:16:35

2M ago1:16:35

1:16:35

Today's episode starts out on a disappointing note. My guest Rian Stone, video essayist and author of the novels Softbone: Down and Out in New Kowloon and The Dog Walker, thought he was coming on to talk to his professional-wrestling hero, "Lightning" Lou Perez. I'm sorry I had to break the kid's heart—I am not that Puerto Rican guy—but I think I m…

The Lou Perez Podcast - Kirk Wilcox 58:35

2M ago58:35

58:35

A few weeks back I had former Detroit Piston Scot Pollard on the pod and this week I have current…Piston fan Kirk Wilcox. Both men have Piston jerseys with their last names on them. To which I wonder, is it tougher as an adult to wear a personalized jersey? Kirk and I talk about Warped Tour, the '04 "Going to Work" Pistons (appropriating blue-colla…

The Lou Perez Podcast - Gaby Blanco 57:11

2M ago57:11

57:11

Gaby Blanco from the Dissident Project was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. She joins me today to talk about the communist island American leftists love to defend— while living in the United States, of course. What's it like to grow up with food rationing, no freedom to criticize the state, and with Cuba's big business of medical slavery? Gaby sepa…

1:03:10

On this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Scot Pallard, NBA veteran and survivor of both the reality-TV show (Survivor season 32) and a heart transplant. Scot's the subject of the ESPN documentary Heart of Pearl (streaming now on ESPN+) and a volunteer spokesperson for Pearls of Life, which advocates for organ donations. In addition to dis…

The Lou Perez Podcast - Isaac Simpson 1:24:40

3M ago1:24:40

1:24:40

This is a special episode of The Lou Perez Podcast. So special, in fact, that it's not even an episode of The Lou Perez Podcast. No, it's my appearance on Isaac Simpson's podcast, The Carousel. Isaac was kind enough to have me on to take a deep dive into possibly the most important article to come out this year, Jean Garnett's "The Trouble with Wan…

The Lou Perez Podcast - Thomas Quiter 55:51

55:51

On this episode of the podcast I try to persuade disabled award-winning filmmaker and President of The Mobility Independence Foundation, Thomas Quiter, to go to war with Shaquille O'Neal. (That would be a real power move.) In the meantime, enjoy our conversation and more importantly, check out Thomas's doc, The Power to Move. Check out my book, Tha…

We give a shoutout to Theodore Dalrymple and call out Cluster B(itches). Check out my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy https://amzn.t…

The Lou Perez Podcast - Paul Rossi 1:02:01

4M ago1:02:01

1:02:01

My friend Paul Rossi joins me to talk about the Terra Firma Teaching Alliance, the impact of A.I. on education, how "objectivity is white supremacy," and the magic of calculus. Paul was kind enough to make the drive to Ogunquit, Maine to see me open for the dangerously funny Scott Thompson. (He found out I'm shorter in person.) Check out my book, T…

The Lou Perez Podcast - Matt Himes 1:18:13

4M ago1:18:13

1:18:13

Earlier this year, my friend Matt Himes (managing editor of The Blaze's Align) lost his home in the California fires, but he didn't lose his sense of humor or his willingness to try a lot of things he's bad at. It was great catching up with Matt on life after the fire, what it's like to live out a George Carlin bit, "String Theory," and going into …
