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.

In this episode, Randy welcomes fellow comedian Steven Briggs to the podcast.

The boys open the show discussing cuckholding. Steven shares some of his background growing up half-latino in the Bronx, similar to Randy’s New York City upbringing. They move on to talk about Steven’s previous jobs being both the Chuck E. Cheese rat and Jamba Juice Banana man. Randy asks Steven about his experience acting in commercials. Steven shares some tips on how to avoid the daily news cycle.

They talk about the sudden shift in the public opinion on Tesla and Elon Musk. The guys close with some news – Intelligent people tend to hate small talk, US Customs are seizing more eggs than fentanyl at the Canadian boarder, and a woman in South Korea set the record for most failed drivers license tests.
