Stand-up comedians who are ready to take the world by storm have many early historic stops along the road to verging superstardom, and this podcast is one of the most important.
Ready Set Blow w/ Randy Valerio is a weekly podcast hosted by Los Angeles comedian Randy Valerio as he sits down with comedians, entertainers, professionals, and friends to discuss life, relationships, careers, opinions, and current events.
Randy Valerio: Randy is a Los Angeles-based comedian and podcaster originally hailing from Queens, New York. After going to a fancy Ivy League university and spending over a decade as an investment banker, Randy decided he was tired of being able to pay his bills on time and jumped head-first into stand-up comedy. Randy’s style of comedy reflects his diverse upbringing in New York City by an immigrant father from the Dominican Republic and a German-Irish mother, his experiences as a single man in his 30s, and the everyday absurdities we all take part in but never seem to notice. He got his start in the Boston comedy scene in 2016 and began taking his act on the road opening for Jeff Dye (The Tonight Show, NBC’s Better Late Than Never, Last Comic Standing) beginning in the summer of 2018, performing in over 35 cities across the country. Randy has also opened for such other comics as Donnell Rawlings, Chris Franjola, and Dean Delray. In January 2020, Randy had the opportunity to perform internationally for the first time in Australia at the Fringe World Festival, and in 2021, he was featured at the Idaho Comedy Fest. During the pandemic, Randy was able to grow a nascent Instagram following to over 39K followers, having his jokes reposted by BuzzFeed.com, TheChive.com, and various meme accounts with a combined 50M+ following. He is also the host of the weekly Ready Set Blow podcast, which was included in the first annual Boston Podfest at Laugh Boston comedy club in 2018.
This week, Fan-favorite Jeff Dye is back on the Ready Set Blow podcast. Randy opens the show talking about the controversial clips he shared from Jeff’s last visit to the podcast.
The boys talk about not taking girls to comedy shows when they aren’t performing. They move on to talk about not ruling out a potential romantic interest just because they don’t share ALL of your beliefs. Jeff talks about women dressing inappropriately at Hollywood Horror Nights.
This leads to a conversation about passing judgement. Jeff talks about class differences.
The guys reminisce about one of their desert mushroom trips. Jeff starts a convo about gender versus s*x. They close with the news – Biden’s dog bites 11th secret service agent and the insane number of drink options you can actually get at a Starbucks.
Jeff is coming off of NBC’s alternative comedy-variety series hit called “I Can Do That”. Which he is extremely proud of and taught him….
Dye is a nationally touring comedian, actor, host, prankster and Bigfoot enthusiast. Raised in Seattle, this class clown started doing comedy at Giggles Comedy Club right out of high school and was first nationally recognized on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” where he finished third after only three years into his comedy career.
Since then he has had two of his own shows on MTV (“Money From Strangers,” “Numbnuts”), his own “Comedy Central Presents” special and stared on numerous other TV projects, including “Girl Code” and “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”
Dye’s passion is bringing love and positivity through laughter to everyone he encounters.
