The Paul Mecurio Show

A great comedian and friend, we talk sports, comedy and Artie talks VERY candidly about his troubles with drugs and his being clean. It's a VERY honest & revealing look into what Artie has dealt with in his life and how he sees things more clearly now. He's amazing in this conversation - VERY funny too. As a thank you I gave him a bag of heroin. That's ok, right? Release Date - 01/23/17 #paulmecurio #artielange

I've always admired Chris as a stand up. He's a very rare comic, one of the only guys who consistently talks about very personal, revealing events in his life. He's a brilliant standup! This interview covers so much interesting stuff, we talk about everything from his tough childhood with his boozing, womanizing Dad and his Mom with mental issues, to how he got and lost his Fox show.

They've had one of the most successful syndicated radio shows in the country for the past 20 years. These two guys and their producer Luke, are one of the funniest and nicest guys I've worked in radio. We talk about their cool path to being a great radio team, how they've gotten in trouble in the past (it involves hookers and cops) and more. It's a hilarious interview. Theirs is the most fun, natural radio you will EVER hear. No bells or whistles or "wacky" bits. If they catch you doing a joke from your act you're dead meat. After you hear this you will want to be listeners of their show forever. This is a fun one people. Enjoy! Release Date - 01/09/17
