Host of Comedy Gumbeaux every Thursday night at the Howlin' Wolf in New Orleans, RedBean joins me for a great episode of the podcast. RedBean talks about his appearance opposite Sylvester Stallone in Grudge Match. How casting directors are always walking into comedy shows looking for talent. And the importance of social media. Redbean's road-dog Carrey Bee joins the podcast, and talks about his second time performing stand-up was at the Saenger Theater to do a half-hour opening for Sinbad. Kyle Smith, Lace, and Byron join the podcast as we wait for our sets. Kyle Smith tries to pick up a girl who walks by. We wrap the podcast up after the show, again talking about the importance of playing to different crowds, and marketing yourself as a comic.

New Orleans comic Blake Ybarzabal talks about his discharge from the Marines. His experience with botany. His stand-up comedy experiments, where he treats each joke as having hundreds of variables to test, scientifically, starting with his nose ring. Eric jokes about wanting a Ukrainian bride, and how to work the system to make that happen for you. Very distasteful jokes about the practical uses of Krav Maga. Warning! Several bridges between several nations were burned in the making of this episode.

Highway Diary Ep 104 - The Redaction Special
Tuesday Feb 10, 2015
Tuesday Feb 10, 2015
In this, the most important episode in the history of the Highway Diary podcast, I dig deep into investigating why my last episode with comedian Jeff McCormick was pulled. What my comedy philosophy is, and if I am indeed an abusive podcaster. I talk to a lot of people during this episode, and not all of them agree with me. I talk to the host of the SIP podcast, Shaun Lewin; episode 100 guest, my brother, Kevin Hollerbach; New Orleans comic Blake Ybarzabal, who was present during the McCormick recording. I also talk to Los Angeles based comedian, and Comedy Store legend Joshua Meyrowitz that believes my podcast was abusive. This is one for the haters. Please enjoy, Episode 104, the Redaction Special.

New Orleans comic hailing from the 209 hits the Highway Diary podcast with both his balls on fire. He's a dogsitter, he gives cats their shots, he feeds zebras, and he blows the roof off every comedy club he steps into. I could only be talking about Danny Ray! We talk about how he got into comedy, his year in Los Angeles, having setbacks, battling insecurity, but always in pursuit of his comedy dreams. Sneak preview, small hints of the Banned from Hi-Ho incident.
