My guest, Joe Matarese, and I discuss:
Joey's Comedy Club in Livonia, Michigan. A place I did a lot of comedy and a club that made its way into Joe's comedy reel as one of the worst clubs he ever played SiriusXM legal issues with his albums being pulled (an issue a lot of comedians faced) Early days opening for Bill HIcks and memories of a cringeworthy interview and note he sent to Bill while Bill was on stage requesting he perform a specific piece. Hanging with a pre-famous Drew Carrey. Lessons in comedy from Bill Hicks. America's Got Talent - The highs and lows of his experience on AGT Joe's experience with his wife on the reality series "Better Half" that led to a $20,000 victory. Joe's comedy specials, including "Medicated," "The Poster is Wrong," and a sneak peek into his upcoming special. Exploring Joe's podcasting ventures, from "Medicated" to "Stand up Line Down" and "Fixing Joe." and much more!
NOTE: A lot of f-bombs in this episode. Nothing gratuitous just more than usual so headphones on if you're listening at work or with the kids.
