Check out my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy Girl, did you hear about Minos’s wife and the white bull? Pasiphaë 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 “Musée 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.

The Lou Perez Podcast - Chris Freiman
Check out my book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy 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.

The Lou Perez Podcast - Yiatin Chu
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). 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.

Where have all the male gynecologists gone? On this episode of the podcast I’m joined by my friend — 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 and and . *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.
