Interview: Tony Gleeson, Illustrator, Author, Wise Young Soul



E60 – From a sidewalk café in Atwater Village, Los Angeles, meet the well-known artist Tony Gleeson. Hear his inspiring story, starting as a young student with dreams of becoming an artist, to a full-fledged professional in Hollywood. We learn about his evolution from illustrating gentlemen’s magazines to sci-fi comic books to creating storyboards and posters for movies including Spike Lee’s. He is also a man of mystery – mystery novels! He describes his process of creating stories and of getting them published, giving a clear path for hopeful writers. And his advice for budding artists is key. Tony is one cool cat and we know you’ll love him as much as we do! Please follow his work:

Chris Fairbanks, Wayne Federman, Chris Taylor on Standup!



E50 – We chat with LA comics and podcasters Chris Fairbanks (Do You Need A Ride?) and Wayne Federman (The History of Standup), about nerves on stage, biggest fears, dating, the Adam Sandler special, and hygge! Hear about The Virgin Sacrifice show at Westside Comedy Theater hosted by Nicole Blaine with comedians Lachlan Patterson, Barry Rothbart, Laurie Kilmartin, and Bryan Callen. And we talk to The Virgin himself, friend and cameraman Chris Taylor, to hear what it was like to go up for the first time. Weens is open to trying standup herself and other vulnerable experiences, like getting back into acting, doing more creative collaborative projects, and even speed dating! Life is to be lived without fear and to connect in true relationships with others, so with that in mind, enjoy Mouse’s most awkward matchmaking moment ever, and our little Mother’s Day ditty to our sweet mom. Hooray!

The Seance (lo-fi)



E34 – Weens and our mom, Joyce Carter, recap a séance they attended in the Hollywood Hills with psychic medium Patti Negri. Mom’s parents came through, and dad came through for Weens. Mom also tells our birth stories – Weens was gigantic and Mouse was a slip of the IUD. And we share stories of mopeds and mom cock-blocking our potential boy make out sessions! (We had some technical difficulties so the audio is rough in this three-way call, but bear with us)
