#1.1 - John James & Ryan Curtiss

Welcome to the debut episode of "People You Can Live Without," the podcast where we explore the fascinating stories of individuals who bring laughter into our lives. I'm your host, Ricky Paciorek, and today I'm joined by two hilarious guests, Ryan Curtiss (@iamryancurtiss) and John James (@hossjames), as we peel back the layers of friendship, comedy, and the unexpected. In this inaugural installment, Ryan and John take a seat in the guest chairs as we embark on a journey through the roots of our comedic connections. We reminisce about the fateful encounters that brought us together and dive into the early days of our comedy careers, sharing anecdotes about the nerve-wracking beginnings and the exhilarating highs of performing on stage. But our conversation doesn't stop there. Prepare for a wild ride as we delve into the quirks and idiosyncrasies that make our friendship unique, from the unconventional transition from slam poetry to stand-up comedy to the hilariously bizarre world of sex toy parties for men. And of course, we can't forget to discuss our shared affinity for champing Black & Milds—an unexpected bonding experience that has become a hallmark of our friendship. Throughout our laughter-filled discussion, the camaraderie between Ryan, John, and myself is palpable, weaving a tapestry of shared experiences and mutual admiration. So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and join us for an hour of uproarious entertainment and heartfelt camaraderie. Tune in to the first episode of "People You Can Live Without" as we lift the curtain on the origins of laughter and friendship. You won't want to miss it!
