Something a little different for you todays, as I speak with two comedians. One is coming to town and the other produced a killer documentary.

First up, it's Bert Kreischer. He's going to be playing the Masonic Theater on Friday, September 20th. I'll talk to this guy anytime they want me to. We talked about his latest Netflix special, 80's rock, bombing and his next special. He tells me about his podcast, doing interviews and more. He tells me a hysterical story about a failed podcast idea he had. Bert is always entertaining.

Up next, it's comedian Steve Byrne. He produced a special based around the life of former Detroiter, The Amazing Jonathan. I saw it over the summer and can't say enough good things about it. Jonathan was always on the fringe as far as comedians for me, but I've always like him, so I was stoked to watch the doc. He told me about a piece of Motor City history that Jonathan owns, the reason for making the doc and the heart and soul of what this documentary is. It's a great story and I hope you get a chance to see it.

Thanks for listening!
