On this episode I talk with filmmaker and co-host of The System is Down, Dan Smotz, about collapsitarians (my new favorite word), wedding videography, and Who Is Roger Ver? If you’re a paid subscriber to my Substack or the Lions of Liberty Podcast Network you’re hearing this first. Lemme know what you think. Would you survive the end of the world? For how long?

Who am I?

Lou Perez is a comedian, producer, and author of That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore. You may have seen him on FOX's Gutfeld! and Open to Debate (with Michael Ian Black). Lou was the head writer and producer of the Webby Award-winning comedy channel We the Internet TV and produces Comedy Is Murder, a sketch comedy series with Free the People. Lou is a FAIR-in-the Arts fellow, on the advisory board of Heresy Press, and hosts the live debate series The Wrong Take and The Lou Perez Podcast. 

During my tenure at We the Internet, 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.”
