From No GED to a PHD. My guest is Comedian Hoss Ridgeway

Jon Pesek (“Jay”) was diagnosed with childhood OCD at age 5 and participated in intense CBT and Exposure & Response therapy himself as an adult, then worked alongside a psychiatrist for 4 years treating OCD patients with medication and CBT before opening his own practice to address children, adolescents and adults using the techniques and training he both underwent and learned. He treats children, adolescents and adults with behavioral issues, mood disorders, developmental and personality disorders. I work with parents to develop behavioral plans for their homes and families to supplement the therapy done with their children/adolescents in my office. My graduate training dealt with adolescent male patients with behavioral problems, emotional intelligence deficiencies, sexual abuse history and suicidal gestures and ideations. I see many single parents struggling with their children at home or in school. I enjoy working with individuals, families, single parents and their children and prefer to "rule out" more than quickly diagnose.

His sermons are broadcast nationwide on the weekly “Lift Up Jesus” television program through the GEB Network and DirectTV, and his most recently published book is called, The One Thing.

Born in Queens, Jim's natural flair for comedy developed early on the toughest of audiences - family gatherings! Routines from the comedy greats quickly became his measuring tool, and Jim rapidly rose through the comedy ranks with lifelong friends such as Tim Allen, Jerry Seinfeld and Collin Quinn. After many years in comedy clubs, Jim joined the cast of ABC's hit sitcom, Home Improvement and entered the living rooms of millions of Americans. He later appeared in the #1 movie, The Santa Clause. Alongside his film career, Jim continued to play sold-out venues with his edgy, New York-based comedy act.  Raised as a Roman Catholic, ethics were taught to Jim at an early age: however, his stand-up routine was "adult-focused" and did not reflect his values. During the success of Home Improvement and subsequent opportunities, he purposed to develop a comedy that was hilarious, of course, but would also be uplifting and available to all audiences. He created the clean comedy act that is now his trademark! Today, Jim's stand-up show has appeared before countless fans and attendees across the country. He frequently appears on television. A skilled performer, he is adept at hosting conferences, stand-up and commentary.  Jim's most recent DVD project, "Heart Improvement", was filmed live and is now available for purchase.  Jim and wife reside in FL and AZ

What does a comedian do, when his son's last words: "I have to go." then commits suicide? Veteran comedian, Jeff, Big Daddy, Wayne shares about life, career, his one man show and family. Comedian Jeff Wayne was dubbed “Big Daddy” by Billy Crystal and Robin Williams on an HBO Comic Relief show. The moniker has stuck to a guy who’s been part of the stand-up comedy scene for a long time. He’s toured all over the world, several times in Europe. The Norwegian Newspaper “Sondags B.A.”, described him as having “amazing audience communication, and ferociously funny!” ​He’s appeared on many national TV shows, including Pawn Stars, and recently with Tiffany Haddish on Byron Allen’s Comics Unleashed. A frequent guest on radio shows, Jeff is known for his quick wit and storytelling abilities. His yarns are offbeat little-known tales about old and new celebrities.   His audio book, Raconteur, is one of Amazon’s bestselling products. ​ Wayne has performed in various venues ranging from comedy clubs, concerts, and cruise ships. In theaters, his one-man show, Big Daddy’s Barbeque, has been played over 1,000 times, and has generated sensational reviews from distinguished publications like The Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Variety, Cleveland Plain Dealer, and NPR which described Wayne, as having “the face of Fred Flintstone with the attitude of Al Bundy.”​ His seven comedy CDs are constantly played in rotation on Sirius/XM radio, making him one of the most listened to comedians in the country. The journey from Kentucky to The Comedy Store in Los Angeles started when Wayne realized that they didn’t teach in school what he wanted to learn. At the Comedy Store, he learned his craft and worked with the likes of Louie Anderson, Jim Carrey, Roseanne, and Judd Apatow, while watching the masters like Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Rodney Dangerfield. ​Big Daddy’s energetic, fast-paced act works as he joshes the audience and ties into one of his routines: today’s headlines, reality TV from the paranormal to Bigfoot, feel-good education, your spirit animal, being a gringo in Los Angeles, his daughter’s wedding, unhappy humans, a plethora of material! ​“I work all over the world to prove that bourbon is not the only good thing to come from Kentucky!”
