In this episode of the HOZ Comedy Podcast, the crew kicks things off with a recap of recent shows and a real conversation about comic professionalism and what it takes to properly host a room, especially in light of the Studio 63 closure. From lessons learned to gratitude for the community, the tone is reflective but still funny. The conversation shifts into future plans, branding, and appreciation for the supporters who’ve been rocking with the podcast and live shows. From there, things get competitive with a deep dive into fantasy football, NFL debates, and the kind of sports arguments that only friends can survive. The second half takes a hard left into storytelling, touching on travel dreams of Australia, classic video game nostalgia, and some absolutely wild personal stories, ranging from awkward massage experiences to school memories nobody asked to relive. The laughs keep coming with a friend’s unforgettable club story and honest reflections on virginity, young love, and growing up. The episode wraps with final thoughts, jokes, and a look ahead at what’s next for the podcast, same energy, bigger plans, and more stories you probably shouldn’t repeat at work.

In this episode, the crew welcomes comedian Luis Arevalo, who immediately runs into the questionable “studio conditions” your show has become famous for. From tech issues to temperature problems, the chaos sets the tone for a hilarious and honest conversation. Luis dives into his stand-up journey, the comics who shaped him, and the struggle between loving comedy and actually sitting down to write it. The two debate sports fandom—whether you ride for the team or worship the player—and go down a rabbit hole from Sinbad’s legacy to the fantasy of a billion-dollar comedy special. Things escalate when Luis calls for a union… specifically for better Wi-Fi, heat, and basic respect from the studio. The episode also jumps into John Cena’s retirement, favorite wrestlers, the forever MJ vs. LeBron argument, and why “bubble basketball” might be the purest form of the game. They wrap with candid talk on stage distractions, managing social anxiety, and one last plea for the studio to please, PLEASE upgrade something. Funny, raw, and full of sports, comedy, and chaos, classic HOZ energy from start to finish.
