On this episode I talk to comedian Ian Ira Rousso about his new hour that he will be releasing soon called "Sorry Again". We recorded this back in March, a day after I saw him do the hour live, and I must admit that I had very low expectations and that Ian far exceeded them. I was genuinely impressed with it and we go in depth about his process and my experience seeing it live.
I talk with comedian and personal trainer Bridget Sell (Body By Bridge) about how I completely fell of the healthy eating wagon. I review one of the unhealthiest eating weeks of my life with here and she helps me get back on track. Hilarious, informative episode! Check it out!

On this episode I speak with comedian and "Mentally Al" super fan Julian Stern about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. If not for Julian's advice on this pod I might have missed my opportunity to go this August! In classic Jew Rogaine Experience fashion, it takes about half the pod before we get into talking about Edinburgh, but also in classic Jew Rogaine Experience fashion, the first half is great too!

Seth Lawrence is back again! The only regular so far on Quarantime, this episode is my final episode recorded while I still had my mustache (RIP). We actually recorded this one prior to my episode last week with Sarah Lawrence (no relation). This episode was also originally supposed to be an episode of Seth's great podcast Disorganized Religion, but for whatever reason we decided to make it another episode of Quarantime. Probably because we really didn't discuss religion at all. Hilarious ep! Great guest as always! Check it out!
