This week we are celebrating & reminiscing about The Soup; previously known as Talk Soup but always found on E! Since its inception in the 90's the show has done an amazing job mocking, jabbing and poking fun at reality TV and ridiculous pop culture trends.

This week we're celebrating Pibbles or Pit-Bull type dogs! Like 99.9% of humans - dogs are not born evil. But years of misinformation and abuse have given these dogs a bad name.

Day On The Green - September 2, 1978 was Deans first concert at the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum. As a music lo...

This week’s Speaking Highly is all about giving back. There are so many ways we can be of service - but a lot of us never take that first step. You don’t have to donate a million dollars to your favorite charity or feed every homeless person (although if you can do that, please do) - just know that every little bit helps - from picking up a tiny piece of trash off the ground to saying Hi to a stranger to using whatever your i...

Happy Friday! This week we're celebrating the hidden camera movie - Bad Trip! Starring Eric Andre, Rel Howery, Tiffany Haddish and a pretty bad ass crew on the other side of the lens.

We talk about the stress and intricacies of shooting hidden camera, casting...

Stand Up! This week we're celebrating "6 Parts", the first special from comedian Danny Jolles, (link below!). It looks great, it's unique and most importantly - it's hilarious! I talk to Danny about conceiving, writing, rehearsing and producing his special and why putting it up for free on Youtube was a smart move. Danny's great and we have a good time talking about being on the road, working out new s...

Happy Earth Day Everyone! This week we're celebrating the place we all came from - the ocean! It covers 70% of the planet and humans have only explored 20% of that. It's easier to put a person in to space that it is to send one down to the deepest parts of the ocean. Our guest today is comedian, actor, writer, producer and... marine biologist - Tony Sam! Tony spends about as much time in the water as Aquaman... similar buil...
