Johnny Lee Dam has been performing comedy ever since he could utter a sentence. As the resident class clown, he quickly developed a knack for comedic timing, something his teachers soon came to regret. Fortunately, it did not stop there. A native of Los Angeles, Johnny began his comedy career in December of 1991. After a six-week class at a community college, he delivered his first five-minute set and was hooked for life! Since then, he has performed in 1 1 countries, 33 states, and even a nudist resort (yes, he was, and no, it wasn't pretty). He has also traveled abroad to entertain the troops. These 30-day tours included traveling into war zones on numerous occasions armed with only a microphone, and, if warranted, the ability to scream like a little girl (his only superpower). If he looks familiar it's because you've seen him most recently on Fox Sports and TMZ Live. Johnny has also starred in a national commercial. He produced and hosted "The DAMage Report," his own 2x award-winning daily radio show in the LA talk radio market. In his spare time, he wrote and directed two short films. His album, "The Painful Truth," recorded back in 2007 (available on iTunes), is still downloaded on a regular basis. Whether he's on the stage or in a chair, you'll most likely find him behind a microphone. His shotgun-like delivery and scope of material has made him a crowd favorite among all ages and demographics... except his parents. Johnny gives the audience what it wants. But beware, Johnny's humor is brutally honest, and if asked to define comedy he will tell you that every joke has a victim, and the only thing funnier than the truth is "The Painful Truth" — available on iTunes

This episode I sit down with Ed Kelemen. Ed Kelemen is a retired Allegheny County Officer where he was one of the founders of the Bomb Squad. Nowadays he is an author, playwright, and columnist who spends an inordinate amount of time with the Pennsylvania Investigators of Paranormal Phenomena (P.I.P.P.) as both a technician and a paranormal investigator. During the course of writing his Haunted Pennsylvania Collection consisting of five books, he has been involved in over 300 paranormal investigations.
When not investigating and interacting with the denizens of the afterworld, he relaxes with one of his sons in their hundred and twenty-five year-old house with a humongous dog, a clutch of attitude-ridden cats and whatever rodents decide to brave the winter months inside. They all share that ancient house with a trio of haunts that are more entertaining than spooky.

Veteran suicide is an ongoing problem regarding the high rate of suicide among U.S. military veterans, in comparison to the general civilian public. Join me for a more serious toned, emotionally charged episode as we dive into the veteran suicide epidemic with special guests veterans Daniel Brady & Jermaine Lucious.
You are NOT alone! There is help! More than 78,000 veterans died by suicide between 2005 and 2017, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Veteran suicide deaths rose from 5,787 in 2005 to 6,139 in 2017. In the active military, the National Guard, with a suicide rate of 30.6 per 100,000, has the highest rate of any branch, according to the most recent Department of Defense Annual Suicide Report. The overall rate among all active military components was 24.8. This is occurring against a backdrop of rising suicides among all Americans.
Veteran suicide is an ongoing problem regarding the high rate of suicide among U.S. military veterans, in comparison to the general civilian public. Corporal Daniel Brady hails from the muddy banks of lake Erie, in North Western, PA. If you are a fan of dark comedy, then come listen to Dan's dark yet humourous take on the demons he battles with. He regales the crowd with stories and dark observations from his life, and he is always heavy with the white trash undertones.
Dan served in the United States Marine Corps from 2006-2015. He was stationed on Camp Pendleton for the majority of his service and deployed in support of OIF, OEF, and the 11th MEU.
