Avaughan What's up everybody?

Another episode with Ripple Effect Podcast.

I'm your host, Ricardo Vrendez, also known as Ricky Vrandes.

And today we have stand-up comedian and now author, Jim Florentine.

You guys might know him from The Metal Show on VH1.

He's been in a bunch of movies.

He has a bunch of stand-up specials. And now a new book called Everybody Is Awful Except You. So definitely check that out. You can get access to all that stuff on his website, Jim Florentine.com. Really fun conversation. We talked about metal. We talked about comedy. We talked about conspiracies. And I'm not really good at interviewing people.

I kind of suck at interviewing people.

But I'm pretty good at holding a conversation.

I think that's kind of the one talent I'm really good at.

And it helps on this show because I go wherever the conversation takes us.

And I know there's pros and cons to sometimes getting off topic or off track.

But I think the pros outweigh the cons, where

a lot of times you hear certain guests on multiple interviews and it's telling a lot of the

same stories and talking about a lot of the same topics, where on my show, you can, at least

in many cases, you can assume that I'm probably going to bring something up

that's maybe off topic or go on some long rant that's going to get us off topic and maybe hear

a story or hear us talk about a topic or subject that you haven't heard this guest talk about

prior so I think that's what makes it fun and that's's what makes it fun for me. And at this point, I'm not making any money doing this. It's just about sparking some interesting conversations with some interesting people and hope I can spread it and start our own little ripple. So that's the goal at the moment so with that said also
