  • “What’s your beef with communists?”

    So begins my conversation with “Prax” Ben Williams, (figurative) slayer of TikTok commies, socialists, and statists. We discuss:

    —How if housing is a human right, you don’t get to control where you live. (Did you know that even Soviets had to pay rent?)

    —How to pronounce the Holodomor
 Or is it Holodomor?

    —How given enough time on social media, communists will eventually tweet their evil intentions.

  • In life and magic, some secrets should not be revealed...

    I’m joined by magician and comedian Doc Dixon for a magical (?) episode of the podcast. You may recognize Doc as one of the few magicians to fool Penn & Teller.

    So, what is the story behind pulling a rabbit out of a hat?

    How did Teller win his Shadows lawsuit?

    Has Doc worked with Satan much?

    While I don’t believe in “magic,” magicians still freak me out. If you get a chance to see Doc Dixon’s act, he’ll make you laugh, laugh, laugh, and cap it with a mind seizure.

  • How to be an influencer without showing your butt.

    While most influencers on Instagram are just influencing people to look at their bodies, Will Reusch is actually having a real positive impact on the world. With over 17 years of teaching experience in both public and government schools, Will’s using his platform to promote intelligent discourse, genuine curiosity, and he even shares some of my stuff (when appropriate).

    The man has a superhuman ability to converse with people with whom he disagrees and I’m happy he came into my bubble to talk. I think some of his positivity rubbed off on me and I’m excited that he’ll continue to spread it through his own online school called Patterdox.

    Who am I?

    Lou Perez, author of THAT JOKE ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE: ON THE DEATH AND REBIRTH OF COMEDY.

    I produce the Comedy Is Murder series with Free the People. I was the Head Writer and Producer of the Webby Award-winning comedy channel We the Internet TV. During my tenure at WTI, I made the kind of comedy that gets you put on lists and your words in the Wall Street Journal: “How I Became a ‘Far-Right Radical.”

    In addition to producing sketch comedy, stand-up, and opinion writing, I am on the advisory board of Heresy Press and host the live show The Wrong Take with Lou Perez andThe Lou Perez Podcast.

    How’d I start out?

    I began doing improv and sketch comedy while an undergrad at New York University, where I was part of the comedy group the Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz.

    For years, I performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (both in NYC and L.A.) in sketch shows with the Hammerkatz and my comedy duo, Greg and Lou. G&L are probably best known for our sketch "Wolverine's Claws Suck," which has over 20 million views across online platforms.

    I was a writer for Fox Sports' @TheBuzzer; produced The Attendants with the Above Average Network; produced pilots for FOX Digital and MSN Games; and was a comedy producer on TruTV's Impractical Jokers.

    I hosted the stand-up show Uncle Lou's Safe Place in Los Angeles, performed at the Big Pine Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and co-created the political comedy podcast Unsafe Space.

    I taught creative writing at the City College of New York, "writing the web series" for Writing Pad, and comedy writing workshops for the Moving Picture Institute.
