This week we tried to get the 3 of us together to catch up since the three of us haven't been available to podcast together for a few weeks, and the trend continues because Chris had to work later than expected and couldn't make it. So James and Matt do some catching up and talk about Matt's trip to Detroit for work, how the fight card that Matt had to withdraw from due to a training injury, as well as how the "Unusual Suspects Comedy Show" went, and the Benefit show that James will be hosting on May 3rd, and horror movies.

GUESTS:Manny Martin @MannyMartinJrCris Rodriguez @ElCrisRod

This week I sit down with Returning guest Cris Rodriguez and the house MC at The Parlor Live, Manny Martin. we talk about comedy and have a lot of laughs in the "castcave"! These two are a lot of fun to hang out with and It was great to have them both on the podcast.

We bring up Jay Hollingsworth a few times. Jay is a hilarious comic that only gets better and better. It was great to hear that his move to Los Angeles has been paying off  and he's got so much going on in such a short amount of time. Check out his web site at www.jayhollingsworth.com

I also mentioned A documentary. its called "Open Mic: The Other Side of Stand-up Comedy" You can find it in five parts on YouTube, don't watch it right before you try stand-up for the first time though HAHA

GUEST:J Rock @fantastic413

This week Matt Juarez was at the fight that he had to withdraw from due to injury while training to watch and support 6 Feet Under MMA Fight Team with coach Travis Doerge. Chris and James sit down with another new comedian J Rock after he started a Facebook campaign to get on the podcast by posting photos of food he made at home and Tagging Eat Laugh Fight in them. He's a cool guy and I always enjoy seeing him at different open mics around Seattle and Tacoma WA.

We crack a few beers and just hang out and talk about comedy.

Joseph Labatt - Executive Chef at the Brave Horse Tavern @joelab75

Big Steve Clarke - Drummer for Monkey Hill, Supervisor at Penn Cove Shellfish LLC.

We spent the first weekend in March on Whidbey Island, in Coupeville, WA. for our 6th year hanging out at the Penn Cove mussel fest. Chris Garr volunteers his time to do cooking demonstrations representing Ivar's Acres of Clams, and we make it a full weekend, hanging out and enjoying food, and LOTS of drinks! this Year we sat down with Rawle Jefferds, Joseph Labatt, Big Steve Clarke, and a quiet, but great guy Charlie  after hanging out in the beer tent listening to live music.

Just a warning, we basically brought a party to Chris' room and this episode gets to be a hot mess! We interrupt each other, repeat ourselves a couple times, end up having multiple conversations at once, and there are people being loud in the background. But we had a blast hanging out, and despite the craziness talked about some great stuff regarding Penn Cove Shellfish LLC, and the people who make that company so valuable to the community, as well as what makes Penn Cove Shellfish important to the local culinary industry. We also get some great insight into the culinary industry here in Seattle in general.
