Warning: This  episode contains more  swearing than our typical episodes.

Mark and Lowell do their best to get a word in edgewise this week as the inimitable, lovable and legendary “Pitbull of Comedy” Bobby Slayton aka “Yid Vicious” reluctantly joins the podcast.

An incredibly talented stand-up comedian, Bobby has been a fixture in the comedy world since he hit the scene over 30 years ago. And he is a natural actor whose memorable roles you should watch in shows like “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “The Mind of The Married Man,” “Crisis in Six Scenes,” and movies like “Bandits,” “Get Shorty” and “The Rat Pack.”

In his uncompromisingly honest and intense way, he shares a ton of great stories about his experiences in show business, managing through the loss of his wife, his experiences working with Woody Allen and much more!

You can check out Bobby’s social media, but he would prefer that you don’t.
