    If you’ve been following my work over the past 10 years, you’ve met Brandon Bassham. Although Brandon hasn’t appeared on screen in any of my projects, he’s been behind some of my favorite sketches and darkest jokes, like The Problem with Apu-inspired “The Problem with Bumbleebee Man.”

    On this episode, I talk with Brandon about horror, comedy, and his work with Troma, which includes his feature film Fear Town, USA and his latest, Bring on the Damned! (in which I play a small but memorable sex-creep role). And we spend a little time remembering the great Robert Schimmel, a dirty comic who was so good, even Brandon’s mother—who hated dirty comics!—loved him.

    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 Interent, 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.”

    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.

    Girl, did you hear about Minos’s wife and the white bull? PasiphaĂ« was on that carnivore diet. Just a lil gossip from antiquity, thanks to Brooks Crenshaw, whose The Daedulus Thread, is a hell of a follow.

    Check out W.H. Auden’s “MusĂ©e des Beaux Arts.”

    In addition to talking about how mortals should never try to fool the gods, Brooks shares what he considers his greatest failure: washing out of BUD/S. Although he didn’t become a Navy SEAL, he overcame his failure (which would have been a success for me) to work in human intelligence and targeting for the SEALs.

    We get into the power of story — did the hear the one about how my butcher father cut off his finger —, the size of Jordan Peterson’s cross, trans Maoists, and our favorite congressman (Brooks’s actual representative and my dream rep), Thomas Massie.

    My conversation with JosĂ© Cordeiro, author of The Death of Death, was so alive! We considered the lobster, biological rejuvenation, biohacker Bryan Johnson’s weird face and (I imagine equally weird-looking) penis, the euthanasia-to-cryonics pipeline, and José’s favorite student, Argentina’s president Javier Milei. José’s optimism is infectious. And for the hour we spoke I felt like we were beating death. So stop by for the good vibes and stick around until the end for a travel hack any mortal or immortal can appreciate. L'chaim!

    The Death of Death has been translated into 15 languages and José has the books on hand to prove it. You have to admit: Cordeiro and Perez would look damn good on your bookshelf. Read them both. You (will) have the time.

    On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast, I enjoy the comedy and hair stylings of my friends and frequent co-conspirators Boris Khaykin and Harry Terjanian.

    We talk about going bald, what children reveal about theory of mind, pranksters that don’t do pranks, Tony Hinchcliffe’s set at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, my one-sided war with cholo-face cultural appropriator Lou Diamond Phillips, and a lil cancellation in Texas.

    We also get to share the times we’ve laughed the hardest.

    If you’re free tonight November 4th, I’ll be performing on Electoral Dysfunction at The Grisly Pear in Midtown Manhattan. Use discount code “CL10” for 50% off tickets.

    I’ve been following Chris Freiman on X for a while. You should too. And while you’re at it, subscribe to his Substack.

    I had a great time talking to the political philosopher about “degrowth;” automation; pickleball — which may be more fun to say than it is to play; and how those calling for collectivist communes are always the very people no one wants to commune with.

    I give Zora Neal Hurston’s Why the Negro Won’t Buy Communism (1951) a shoutout. And we hit on Cuba a little bit.

    A decade ago Michael Moynihan wrote in The Daily Beast: “Castro's Hipster Apologists Want to Keep Cuba ‘Authentically’ Poor.” Sadly, little has changed on that front.

    One of the points I make in our episode is that even if I grant the commie apologists — who are never ever tweeting from Cuba — the bullshit point that Cubans have a longer life expectancy than Americans, I would no doubt trade a few months of my life to live it out in LITTLE HAVANA than Havana.

    Hell, I’d give up years if I got to spend some great months in Santa Barbara, California!

    The United States is such a special place. It’s where bakers drive Porsches and at least one 42-year-old man ran up the Empire State Building in 17:01.

    I had a great time talking with one of New York Magazine’s “Most Powerful New Yorkers You’ve Never Heard Of,” Yiatin Chu. Yiatin is running for New York Senate to represent District 11 (which includes my hometown of Little Neck, Queens). https://www.yiatinforny.com/

    Yiatin and I discussed the trappings of turning a blind eye to local government to spend more time bingeing the soap opera of national politics. The local has gone loco, whether it’s NYC’s failing grade on public education, the sausage fest that are migrant shelters, and pro-criminal legislators ruining the city Yiatin and I both love(d).

    FULL DISCLOSURE: I do not work for Yiatin’s campaign, but after I recommended Congressman Tom Suozzi start pronouncing his last name “Swayze,” I think her team should bring me on board pronto.

    “Pain don’t hurt.” - Congressman Tom Swayze

    In the meantime, come November 5th, if you’re in NY’s District 11 vote for Chu.

    · The Lou Perez Podcast

    Where have all the male gynecologists gone?

    On this episode of the podcast I’m joined by my friend Dr. Randall Bock — a real doctor. And a real good dude.

    Dr. Bock has saved the life of at least one victim of a bar-fight stabbing (who then tried to kill the good doctor); helped heroin-addicted moms-to-be get clean, so their newborns wouldn’t suffer through withdrawal; and reveals a life-saving hack to use when someone’s fainted.

    You don’t have to listen to the episode to find out what to do to help a fainter: Basically just give them room and lift their legs up, so blood is directed back to their brain. #Hero

    But you’re gonna want to listen to the whole episode. There’s Propecia, William S. Burroughs*, and love for Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx.

    Dr. Bock is also Daddy Bock. And to prove it, he plugs his talented sons’ projects: Sam Bock’s The Sinopsis and Pravdcast and Eli Bock’s FLUID.

    *Speaking of talent: When I was in high school I told a Brown University alum who was interviewing me for the college that “I would describe my writing as William S. Burroughs minus the heroin.” The balls on that kid! Yes, he got in to Brown. But decided to attend NYU. That’s how this 42-year-old got here.

    “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?

    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.

    · The Lou Perez Podcast

    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.

    I turned my air conditioning down extra low and knit my beanie extra tight for this conversation with the god of LinkedIn, Steve Faktor.

    Steve returns to the program to crap on cars, the suburbs, and libertarianism. He’s (mostly) right about everything, especially “How Taxes Steal Dreams.”
