Mike Binder is one amazing guy. He’s a multi-talented comedian, actor, writer, director, and documentarian. And he’s as down-to-earth as they come.

An old friend of Mark’s, Mike talks with the guys in a very open and honest conversation about his early years in comedy, how tough it is to get movies made, the art of learning from mistakes, finding sobriety, and the hardship of the recent losses (and warm memories) of good friends Bob Saget and Gilbert Gottfried. Mike shares some great stories about seeing Richard Pryor as a young kid, his little-brother type relationship with Jay Leno as he was starting out, additional scoop about the Comedy Store, and much more!

Warning: This&nbsp; episode contains more&nbsp; 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.

Talking Schiff with Mark & Lowell #4

This week we are honored, thrilled, and simply kvelling that we have Judy Gold on the podcast. &nbsp; Judy has had an absolutely stunning career as a hilarious stand-up comedian, a podcaster, actress, playwright, book author, Emmy-award winning TV writer, producer, social commentator and activist. In other words, Judy makes the world a better place. Judy is the author of the critically acclaimed and very timely book Yes I Can Say That: When They Come For The Comedians, We Are All In Trouble. She's the host of the hit podcast, <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kill-me-now-with-judy-gold/id992129589" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Kill Me Now with Judy Gold</a>. And she currently writes for and plays the role of Chaya in the wildly loved TV show Better Things. This week, our first of two episodes with Judy, she shares stories about some of the many things in her life that inform her comedy: her mother, her children, her wife, couples therapy and her relationship to Judaism. She tells an amazing story about helping to change the landscape of sensitivity training regarding same-sex parenting, and touches upon her comedy influences including the impact of and importance of Joan Rivers.

Join us this week for a warm, funny and enlightening conversation with Jamie Alcroft. Jamie is a legendary comedian in his own right, as well as half of the tremendously funny, successful and prolific comedy duo Mack & Jamie. They were a favorite at clubs, performed many times on "The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson" and had their own series "Comedy Break," a hilarious comedy sketch and stand-up show where they even discovered and featured talents like Kevin Pollak and Jan Hooks. Jamie's talents branch out in many directions in addition to comedy. He is an author, a successful voiceover actor and a silversmith, creating beautiful silver jewelry and art pieces. And Jamie has been through harrowing medical trials, being the fortunate recipient of a heart and liver transplant several years back. He penned the book "The Tin Man Diaries," a reflection during the period where he was awaiting a donor's heart. This week Jamie, Mark and Lowell talk about Jamie's early years, starting out as a radio DJ, unexpectedly being approached by Mack Dryden and forming their dynamic comedy duo, their experiences together and Jamie tells the story when he found out he needed a new heart.
