If someone would’ve told me that the next guest on the Coming Up Short podcast was going to be a former toothless and gender-ambiguous comedian who’s life peaked in the fifth grade, I would have said they were lying. But, that’s exactly what Eric Rosenblum and Jon Levine got for this week’s episode of Coming Up Short.

Jon and Eric welcome Regina Castaneda into the Chula Vista Studios and neither of them had any idea what they were in store for. The self-proclaimed croqueta connoisseur not only explains the difference between the different types of croqueta fillings, but also about her formative years playing the roles of men on stage, including the fake beards.

You wouldn’t believe it unless you heard it. Listen and subscribe.

The Coming Up Short podcast is switching from short and fat (in my case) to tall and skinny for this, our Fourth of July episode. Eric Rosenblum and Jon Levine welcome this week’s guest Jesse Thompson to the Chula Vista Studios and, as it turns out, Jesse lives right around the block (literally).

Jesse, Eric, and Jon get right to it and start with a discussion about the recent show at the Inkwell Pub that Jon and Jesse were a part of. From that, the two jump into Jesse’s dry-spell streaks, which he talks about on stage, and how legitimate they actually are.

Finally, the three wrap up the episode with talk of what’s coming up next for both Jesse and the Coming Up Short crew.

Like two jilted lovers, Eric Rosenblum and Jon Levine rant and rave on this week’s edition of the Coming Up Short podcast. The scheduled guest cancelled on the show just two hours before we were set to record and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Cancellations have happened to Coming Up Short before but, thankfully, not too often. However, it was today’s cancellation which seemed like a good opportunity for Jon and Eric to discuss not only how important it is to keep your commitments from a professional standpoint, but how not doing so can negatively impact your comedy career in a serious way.

The two discuss the circumstances under which they each received their first booked gigs and, spoiler alert, it wasn’t by not working hard.
