Meet your heroes. Become friends with your heroes. Have your heroes on your podcast.
With Christmas just days away, this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast with Scott Thompson and Paul Bellini of The Kids in the Hall and Mouth Congress was my gift-to-self.
Unwrap this present to hear about the roots of The Kids, Scottâs bout with censorship at Amazon, and Mouth Congressâs new album, Valley of Song, which includes the tracks âHonk,â written in solidarity with the Canadian trucker convoy protests, as well as the ballad, âBooker,â about a guy who figures out how to make a really good living off of a lazy prostitute.
Paul and Scott continue to create beautifully insane comedy. Whether itâs their new punk album or Scottâs one-man show with Buddy Cole. (After my wife and I caught King in NYC, we met up with Scott. To this day he doesnât know what my wifeâs voice normally sounds like, because Buddy had her laughing so hard that she lost it.)
Join me this week at the first annual Williams Center Comedy Festival in Rutherford, NJ. https://www.williamscenter.co/comedyfest
And if anyone knows about the drones I see flying above my house are doing, please let me know.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

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: âHow I Became a âFar-Right Radical.â
Howâd 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.

âI miss the days when people had real faces.â - Kirsten Fleming, features columnist at The New York Post and my guest on the pod.
We discuss Kirstenâs coverage of the Daniel Penny case from both inside and outside the courtroom and the many details of the case that commenters (at least online) are leaving out. As two life-long New Yorkers, Kirsten and I both have subway horror stories, which we share on the episode. But our conversation is not all doom and gloom. We took some time to celebrate the legacy of Saint Johnâs legendary coach Lou Carnesecca, who will forever live in my heart as Coach Drymeat.

I thought I knew Andrew Heaton, but the son of âHangingâ Judge Joe gets more and more interesting with every conversation. The manâs got a new book out, and even though he thinks Tribalism Is Dumb, I insist heâs in my tribeâwhether he likes it or not. If you enjoy Heatonâs voice youâll love the audio version of Tribalism Is Dumb. https://amzn.to/4eViUS3
We talk cowboy boots, Hanlonâs razor, my election-night run-in with Dr. Philâs biggest hater, Daryl Davisâs âfetish,â and inter-tribal dating. (Spoiler: Itâs hard out there.) Hey! I have a book too!

If youâve been following my work over the past 10 years, youâve met Brandon Bassham. Although Brandon hasnât appeared on screen in any of my projects, heâs been behind some of my favorite sketches and darkest jokes, like The Problem with Apu-inspired âThe Problem with Bumbleebee Man.â
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 Brandonâs motherâwho hated dirty comics!âloved him.

Girl, did you hear about Minosâs 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. Audenâs âMusĂ©e des Beaux Arts.â
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 didnât 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 â did the hear the one about how my butcher father cut off his finger â, the size of Jordan Petersonâs cross, trans Maoists, and our favorite congressman (Brooksâs 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 Johnsonâs weird face and (I imagine equally weird-looking) penis, the euthanasia-to-cryonics pipeline, and JosĂ©âs favorite student, Argentinaâs president Javier Milei. JosĂ©âs 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 donât do pranks, Tony Hinchcliffeâs set at Trumpâs 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 weâve laughed the hardest.
If youâre free tonight November 4th, Iâll be performing on Electoral Dysfunction at The Grisly Pear in Midtown Manhattan. Use discount code âCL10â for 50% off tickets.
Catch me headlining in Texas on November 15th (Austin), November 16th (San Antonio), and November 17th (Houston) .

Iâve been following Chris Freiman on X for a while. You should too. And while youâre at it, subscribe to his Substack.
I had a great time talking to the political philosopher about âdegrowth;â automation; pickleball â 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 Hurstonâs Why the Negro Wonât Buy Communism (1951) a shoutout. And we hit on Cuba a little bit.
A decade ago Michael Moynihan wrote in The Daily Beast: âCastro's Hipster Apologists Want to Keep Cuba âAuthenticallyâ Poor.â 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 â who are never ever tweeting from Cuba â 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, Iâd give up years if I got to spend some great months in Santa Barbara, California!
The United States is such a special place. Itâs 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 Magazineâs âMost Powerful New Yorkers Youâve Never Heard Of,â 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 itâs NYCâs 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 Yiatinâs campaign, but after I recommended Congressman Tom Suozzi start pronouncing his last name âSwayze,â I think her team should bring me on board pronto.
âPain donât hurt.â - Congressman Tom Swayze
In the meantime, come November 5th, if youâre in NYâs District 11 vote for Chu.

What do you do after winning 10 Emmys? You come on my podcast. Ten-time Emmy winner Robert Steinfeld joined me to discuss his book 3âŠ2âŠ1âŠWeâre On the Air: An Inside Look at Sports Television, Journalism, and Gender Equity.
We got into the WNBA (where Steinfeldâs been Executive Producer of the Dallas Wings), talked about playing little league with Mickey Mantleâs son, working Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell, and the great Bill Walton (who wrote the introduction to 3âŠ2âŠ1âŠ).
Steinfeld was born in Rutherford, New Jersey, where Iâll be hosting a great stand-up show at the Williams Center this Saturday October 12th.
And later this month, the great Colin Quinn will be performing.

On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast, I talk with Jesse Burkhart.
What began as a cheeky back-and-forth on X, turned into an interesting conversation about fatherhood, addiction, rehab in the Marines, stolen valor, and more.
Jesse Burkhart doesnât want you thanking him for his military service, but you should thank him for his service on The Lou Perez Podcast. Especially the part where Jesse gives advice on hiding money from messed-up parents.

Where have all the male gynecologists gone?
On this episode of the podcast Iâm joined by my friend Dr. Randall Bock â 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 wouldnât suffer through withdrawal; and reveals a life-saving hack to use when someoneâs fainted.
You donât 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 youâre gonna want to listen to the whole episode. Thereâs 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 sonsâ projects: Sam Bockâs The Sinopsis and Pravdcast and Eli Bockâs FLUID.*Speaking of talent: When I was in high school I told a Brown University alum who was interviewing me for the college that âI would describe my writing as William S. Burroughs minus the heroin.â The balls on that kid! Yes, he got in to Brown. But decided to attend NYU. Thatâs how this 42-year-old got here.

âWhatâs your beef with communists?â
So begins my conversation with âPraxâ Ben Williams, (figurative) slayer of TikTok commies, socialists, and statists. We discuss:
âHow if housing is a human right, you donât get to control where you live. (Did you know that even Soviets had to pay rent?)
âHow to pronounce the Holodomor⊠Or is it Holodomor?
âHow given enough time on social media, communists will eventually tweet their evil intentions.Lou Perez is a comedian, producer, and author of That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore.

In life and magic, some secrets should not be revealed...
Iâm 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 donât believe in âmagic,â magicians still freak me out. If you get a chance to see Doc Dixonâs act, heâll 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, Willâs 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 Iâm happy he came into my bubble to talk. I think some of his positivity rubbed off on me and Iâm excited that heâll 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. Heâs (mostly) right about everything, especially âHow Taxes Steal Dreams.â

I really enjoyed my conversation with Peachy Keenan. We talked California vs New York; violent, crazy, homeless privilege; Neo-Nazis speaking Yiddish; and, of course, her book Domestic Extremist.
