Thanks for downloading the first episode of So What Do You Really Do? with my guest John Paul Rivera. John and I recorded this interview in my backyard in Boston a lot of months ago. Literally six or seven months ago. One night me, John, and couple other comedians were hanging around, talking and what not, when I mentioned the podcast. Right then I decided to have John Paul on because I knew if I didn’t set an actual record date, nothing would get done. I hate to admit, sometimes I’m a “up to the last minute deadline” kind of guy. John Paul, who is not only a hilarious comedian, is also a mascot for a local bowling alley in Boston. We talked about that, how he got into it, and how the hours he works before Red Sox games is actually kind of convenient for doing comedy. We also talk about his mother, who was also a comedian and a comedy side project of John Paul’s called The New York Past, which is a parody twitter account that posts funny, fictional New York Post style headlines. He has since stopped doing the posts (which is another topic we get into), but you can still check them out on twitter. In fact, if enough people start reading them and liking them, maybe he’ll start doing them again. (Doubt it) Music in this episode by my good friend Scott Lester.
