Our guest is a ‘Kill Tony’ Golden Ticket Winner, a stand-up comedian from Colorado Springs, now requesting chocolate milk for his green rooms all across America, please welcome back to InTALLerable — JJ Alexander!
Follow JJ on Instagram @JJ_Standup & check out his new podcast @PinkCrocodileProductions
Bonding over smoked wings, JJ tells Sean & producer Grant Lucas about his journey to Austin, how he lived in bunk beds with three friends to chase his dream, and we discover together for the first time his “golden secret.” That’s right, folks. JJ was ripping 432 Hz for two months before bed nightly, almost certainly leading to his golden ticket moment on the biggest comedy show on Earth. Couldn’t have been all that grinding in the dark when nobody was watching.
From immoral out-of-state car registration hacks, to getting a “Good Job, Dude!” shoutout from his Jackass cactus-skateboarding hero, self-anointed ‘Bev-expert’ JJ Alexander, brings an unmatched chocolate-milk-mustache energy to Top Shelf Studios. Thankful to get this hang while he was back in Colorado. He can eat our smoked meats anytime he wants.
The only show where you can have your wings, and eat ‘em too.
Be kind to someone or call an old friend. Love your neighbor.
