Ready Set Blow Podcast
The Ready Set Blow Podcast is hosted by comedian, podcaster and meme lord Randy Valerio. The show is brought to you weekly, with fresh episodes released every Wednesday. Randy is an LA-based comedian originally hailing from the streets of Queens, NY. In 2016, after having spent over a decade on Wall Street working in investment banking and private equity, Randy decided he was tired of being able to pay his bills on time and jumped head-first into standup comedy. Every week he sits down on the podcast to have conversations with friends and guests from all walks of life, including comedy, music, entertainment, business, academia, the adult film industry and even politics. He and his guests discuss their lives, daily experiences, current events, and other random silliness. Randy has a knack for drawing out honest, raw, self-examined, irreverent, funny and always entertaining conversations with his guests. He is not afraid to ask deeply personal and sometimes borderline inappropriate questions. And, of course, he always seems to find a topic to get on his soap box and rant about.
