this week Rob F. Martinez joins the podcast.  originally from San Francisco, Rob has since moved down to Los Angeles.  we discuss the transition to L.A., getting married, the tattoos he has in honor of past loves, acting in L.A., his video game podcast and almost getting beatdown by two Oakland Raiders.

his upcoming show at SF Sketchfest, at the Hemlock Tavern, 5:30pm on Saturday 1/21/12

Sobering opening as Angelo rants away his disgust, then has a road rage incident, Sal discusses his shows with Jim Jefferies and the meathead fans, and the two discuss their NYE nights, Sal was at a theater in Vacaville, Angelo was dowtown watching guys named Burr, Attell, Big Jay, Hannibal.

we start the year off right, with an episode of Ask a Bro with guests Sara and Annette.  why are guys so stupid, why do women nag, what to do on a first date?  Women cockblockers comes up, what is the criteria for a cougar?  there is a debate on the type of crazy women Sal tends to attract, as he discusses having a knife pulled out on him.  then things really heat up as they discuss dating your friend's ex, or your friend's sister.

for the Holidays, we travel back in time, to 2 years ago, the third ever episode, the first ever guest, back when Angelo was happy to be on the podcast, as Sal battles Reggie on what is better, Pumpkin Pie or Sweet Potato Pie, with Angelo being the tiebreaker.

the two argue like them old muppets in the balcony this week. Angelo returns with tales about what really happened to his ass.  he shows Sal progression pics of his ass, but now he has poison oak.  Sal bartends the blackout monday night Niners game, then watches the game in some kick ass seats next to a porn star and her producer.  Roommate Cory drops in with his Big Ben story.

this week our guest is the great Reggie Steele, his last time on the show, way back in episode 3.  Angelo makes a quick appearance to discuss why he has been absent, Reggie talks where his positive outlook on life has come from, the trials and tribulations he has endured, the junior high blues, gets a little personal, then we switch gears discussing playing pro basketball in a little country called Latvia.

fellow paisan and great comedian Bret Ernst joins the podcast, discussing growing up with his Italian family in Florida and Jersey, getting into fights, yomama jokes, starting in comedy, atheists giving him crap about his comedy special, and of course cooking, his infamous white clam sauce.

Sal loses it on stage and almost fights a heckler.  it gets ugly as the Cleveland dago is fed up with the stupid hipster.  Angelo argues with his pop as he got a little creepy during Nani's funeral, and Sal finally divulges all the drama that went on with him in the SF Comedy Competition.

this week, Sal finds out Angelo has gained 30 lbs.  a coworker offered him a $2000 bet to lose the weight.  he doesn't know what to do.  sports come up as Angelo's Raiders got rocked by the Chiefs, and Sal goes to the 49ers game where the Browns get rocked.  Angelo's father makes a cameo, discussing his beloved Raiders and the time he and lil' Angelo met someone named Al Davis.
