David Green is the drummer and one of three songwriters that make up the Los Angeles punk trio Moonraker who you can see touring and playing festivals all over the country. In this episode, we bicker about Sublime and lasting legacy, how Green Day and Weezer narrowly avoided fading to irrelevance in the early 2000's to become some of the longest running and most successful alternative bands of all time, how awful Rick & Morty fans are, the brilliance of BoJack Horseman, how How I Met Your Mother might have been a victim of its own longevity, how underrated Lagwagon's Hang is, RKL, and so much more. I even get into my top 5 best bands from the Los Angeles area.  The answer may surprise you! Dave even gets into a silly tour ritual of his. Why not give Moonraker a listen?

Timothy Paul McCray is more than just a comedian who I only met recently at our many nights at the now defunct Def Noodles Comedy Club. He is also more than a great effing joke writer who has slowly been getting on people's radars in this town (You can see him on Live In The Belly Room at The Comedy Store, Wednesday 6/5, 7:30PM by the way!) To put it simply, Timothy Paul McCray is legitimately one of my best friends in comedy, coproducer of The 32 Special, a comedy show that takes placeevery Monday at Ireland's 32 in Valley Glen, and a like me, a trueblue New Yorker!

Rhys Foulke is an LA-based comedian originally from Charleston, SC. Catch Ryhs in LA and in Charleston sometime. He's only been at it for a few years but I genuinely love watching work and I seeing him grow as a comic. We discuss plagiarism, parallel thought, how over-glorified weed is, substance abuse, mental health, love, empathy, happiness, rooting for everyone to succeed, focusing on you in the wake of your peers' successes, Vegemite, how underrated of a comedy scene the West Side has, and a whole bunch more. This episode was recorded the day disgraced YouTuber "Def Noodles" copy and pasted my listing of mics in LA which yes, IS plagiarism (and not the first time he's done similar things), so naturally we make fun of him but spared no energy making fun of all of the YouTubers who go after him. Most of it was pretty playful. In the month since recording this episode, a crazier story unfolded that ultimately resulting in him discontinuing virtually all operations at Def Noodles Comedy Club. I'm not going to get into that publicly, but in my eyes, all of those YouTubers are heroes to the LA comedy scene (Special shoutout to Moist Cr1TiKaL and SunnyV2). (I know, some juicy shit right here!)

Originally from Boston, Chris Keene is an incredibly bright, incredibly funny, snarky comedian with a point of view. You can see Chris performing live all over the American Southwest. In this episode, we give deep into the progress and regress of racism in America in the tech age, the tech model as well as its evolution since the days of AOL, the Barbie movie, and a whole bunch more. I was saddened to learn the SD card on my Rodecaster was about to fill up cutting this episode 15 minutes shorter than I originally intented, but I do plan on having him back. Chris is a one of a kind voice and I hope you can get down with him. Give Chris a follow wherever you follow people on things. http://www.instagram.com/chrisgkeene http://www.threads.net/@chrisgkeene http://www.tiktok.com/@chrisgkeene And follow me while you're at it, hot damn! http://www.instagram.com/ianirarousso http://www.threads.net/@ianirarousso http://www.tiktok.com/@ianirarousso http://www.twitter.com/ianirarousso http://www.facebook.com/ianirarousso Follow The Ian Ira Rousso Show Show on Instagram and Threads http://www.instagram.com/tiirspodcast http://www.threads.net/@tiirspodcast  Join The Ian Ira Rousso Show groups on Reddit and Discord https://www.reddit.com/r/theianiraroussoshow/ https://discord.gg/AujN47Vj And see me live!

Kayla Esmond is more than just the birthday girl who made 60 of those delicious deviled eggs as heard about on my debut comedy album titled Sorry Again (neat!). She is an LA-based stand-up comedian, actress and acting teacher originally hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas who features and emcees regularly at the Little Rock Looney Bin and at clubs all over the country. This episode, we get into the changing public perception to as what is good art over the decades, the underrated service of emceeing to newer comedians, what makes a good emcee, how low streaming residuals could effect the starving artist's ability to produce good art, deaf culture, law, capitalism, the struggling film economy, why it's wrong for casting directors to be shitty to child actors on set, abortion, and a whole bunch more. Give Kayla a follow wherever you follow people. http://www.instagram.com/kayla_cats_and_comedy http://www.threads.net/@kayla_cats_and_comedy http://www.tiktok.com/@kayla_cats_and_comedy http://www.twitter.com/kayla_cats_and_comedy See Kayla Esmond LIVE! https://www.kaylaesmond.com/ And follow me while you're at it, hot dammit! http://www.instagram.com/ianirarousso http://www.threads.net/@ianirarousso http://www.tiktok.com/@ianirarousso http://www.twitter.com/ianirarousso http://www.facebook.com/ianirarousso Follow The Ian Ira Rousso Show Show on Instagram and Threads http://www.instagram.com/tiirspodcast http://www.threads.net/@tiirspodcast  Join The Ian Ira Rousso Show groups on Reddit and Discord https://www.reddit.com/r/theianiraroussoshow/ https://discord.gg/AujN47Vj And see me live!

Halfway to 100! Evan Warner is an LA-based stand-up comedian from Hawaii who you can see doing weekends regularly at the HaHa Cafe in North Hollywood. We discussed the shift in gatekeeping power in TV, film, and even comedy from both the lower barrier of entry to produce content, the differences in lifestyle between LA/NYC and Middle America that leads to different viewing habits, how mind-blowingly impressive the production value of live entertainment is; from the guitar and base techs, to the lighting people, all he way down to the guy whose job it is to fund a stage banner literally the size of a house. We discussed the economics of live comedy, breaking down to everything from ticket sales of comedy's biggest names, all the way down to comedy in a market like LA. For you LA comics you've been listening, which is a bunch of people, we also debated the ethics of slotted mics/pay-to-play, and whether or not the service you provide to clubs and shows is the skilled labor of live comedy or the tickets/drinks you're selling.

Eric Wielo is an LA-based comedian and writer who wrote and appeared on Conan on TBS, and you can currently see on Up & Adam's on Max, as well as performing regularly at The Milwaukee Improv, as well as headlining and featuring over the country! In this episode, we continue the discussion Jay Light helped to start about spot pay for features and emcees in clubs around America, some of the bad habits that have gone on in the industry even post #MeToo, and our strange story of how we became friends when he helped reopen The World-Famous Hollywood Improv by hosting mics on their patio with names who I promise you will know, as well as the headliners doing their first sets in a year and a half. I get into my brief story of getting to follow Orny Adams on that patio which if you know anything about this business, I don't know if that'll ever happen again. We also discuss some of the events and politics of today, and so much more!

Fiona Reid is an LA-based stand-up comedian originally from Salisbury, MD. Having gotten her start in the Santa Barbara/Ventura scenes and leaving LA during the pandemic for Reno, Fiona has begun performing all over America. Above that, she is one of the kindest people I know and I'm stoked to call her one of my best friends in comedy. In this ASMR/burp-heavy episode, we talk dating, getting out of your comfort zone, the mission to not be a comic's comic, keeping focused, the pandemic, privacy in the internet age, the importance of staying out of drama both on set and in comedy, and so much more!
