The Paul Mecurio Show

Boxing Champ, Sugar Ray Leonard. I sit down with one of my idols growing up, the Great Sugar Ray for a fascinating talk about why a person boxes, how he preps for a fight, the psychology behind the sport and his historic fights with Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler and Tommy Hearns. Ray is amazing in this interview, giving honest insight into the world of boxing, himself and what makes a champion tick.

Paul & Young Ron. I get the chance to talk with my friends Paul Castronovo and Ron Brewer from WBGG 105.9 in Miami who have been on the air for over twenty years. We get into how they put together their bits and how they've managed to be an extremely successful South Florida staple for over two decades. Plus, I rant on some of the recent events in the news including the George Zimmerman/DMX fight, the Winter Olympics and the Bob Dylan Super Bowl commercial.

Christopher Titus: Star and Creator of "Titus" on Fox and host of the "Christopher Titus Podcast." I've always admired Chris as a stand up. He is very rare, one of the only guys who consistently talks about very personal, revealing events in his life in a really funny way. He's a brilliant standup! This is a two part conversation with Chris -- 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 to how Bill Cosby inspired him as a kid. Part 2 of 2

Actor, Omar Dorsey. He's starred in, "Django Unchained," "The Blind Side," played "Dontel" in "Eastbound & Down," and "Roy" in the new Fox Series, "Rake," starring Greg Kinnear. Omar has been acting since he was 3. He played Jesus Christ at 5 - I think I made that up. An amazing actor who's played varied dramatic and comedic roles. We have a great talk about how he prepares for roles, the great time he had on "Eastbound & Down," what is was like having his theater director mom be his acting coach as a kid and what role changed his career path.

Jay Mohr: Comedian, Actor. Host of "Mohr Stories" Podcast and host of "Jay Mohr Sports" of Fox Sports Radio, 9-12 PST. I'm a huge fan of Jay's! He's a good friend and great comedian and actor. We have a really fun conversation about doing stand up together in NYC and how you develop into a good stand up. Jay also talks in an incredibly candid way about his panic attacks, how he took a long break from stand up and became a different person returning to stand up with a renewed approach to his act and his life. It's really interesting stuff! I'll be doing another episode with Jay soon.

Rich Eisen. Face of the NFL Network. We talk about his start as a sports broadcaster, him trying his hand at stand up and why punters are people too. I'm a huge fan of Rich's -- he's tops in the business and am really excited he was a guest on the show.

2013 Holiday Podcast. This is a special podcast for the holiday with me and my son, Alex. We talk about a bunch of things like, our holiday, what we got for Christmas, cell phone cases, the new year, body hair, and me naked under a bathroom wearing snow boots. Yes, my son will be scarred for life. Hope you all have had a nice holiday and have a great 2014! Thanks for listening to the podcast.

Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland. Producers, Red Granite Pictures, of "Wolf of Wall Street," starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill and Directed by Martin Scorcese. A fascinating look into how major motion pictures like this one get produced by two brilliant producers who "Variety" dubbed as two of the top ten producers to watch in 2011. Riza and Joey tell us how they got into filmmaking, where their passion comes from, what their role is as producers on a film, and how "Wolf" was made. They tell us some great behind the scenes stories about the making of "Wolf." Smart, funny, interesting guys-it was a blast to talk to them.

Comedian Paul Provenza. One of the pillars of the comedy world, the brilliant director of the film, "The Aristocrats" and the author of the book "Satiristas" have a really cool chat about comedy, his start in stand up as a teenager, how he always knew he wanted to do stand up, where he sees comedy going and what new projects he's got going on. An amazingly gifted artist who you want to hear.

Artie Lange. 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 really open and honest look into what Artie is dealing with. He's amazing in this conversation. As a thank you I gave him a bag of heroin. That's ok, right? See him Dec 28th at "The Wilbur Theater" in Boston.

Adam Carolla: Host of the podcast, "The Adam Carolla Show." A great conversation with Adam who is really candid about how he got started in the business going from construction into radio, his podcast, touring, his tough upbringing as a kid and what's buggin' him these days--here's a hint--alot of stuff. Check out his books, they're hilarious: "In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks," and "Not Taco Bell Material."

Mary Carillo. Wimbledon Champion. Tennis analyst for CBS, NBC and Olympic Host. Correspondent on "Real Sports w/Bryant Gumbel." Fascinating conversation about the world of big-time tennis. What is takes to become a champion and where we are headed with big time sports in this country. Also, check out Mary in my HBO Series, "Got No Game." She is fantastic in this piece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqLB8wyrE_A

Steve Belanger. Host of Men's Health Podcast. A really fun interview with Steve about his former life in the corporate world working for the Penthouse empire --no, not as a model, his hilarious and revealing book - "My Penthouse Past" - about that time, his years as an actor and stand up and the great interviews he does for Men's Health. A great chat with a really interesting, funny guy. You can check out Steve's book at http://bit.ly/MyPenthousePast

Todd Glass. Todd is an awesome comedian - one of my favorites! I have always been a big fan of his--really inventive and original. I love this conversation with Todd, we talked about how he started doing comedy in high school --amazing! what makes for a good comedy club and what makes for a bad one, dealing with hecklers, and people who hit their kids ... my mom used to hit me with her shoe. That's why I don't wear shoes. Enjoy!
