DLG391 Alvaro Gamboa is passionate about a lot of things but comedy is #1.

Alvaro Gambo is an awesome human and a great comedian. He sums up his POV here:, “I have a background in critical race theory. I have a have a degree in that. And so it's something that I find amusing, I guess I could say, where like just trying to find the intersections between race, gender and class and how those play out in our daily, not just in my upbringing, but in our day to day lives and how that affects it.” You’ll also hear how Alvaro, a good-looking young man, likes the ladies—and I’m here to tell you personally, as a witness and friend, he is very respectful of women. https://www.youtube.com/@AlvaroJokesGamboa [https://www.youtube.com/@AlvaroJokesGamboa] rebelioncomedy [https://www.instagram.com/rebelioncomedy/#] : Mondays 6pm @bkmadecomedy [https://www.instagram.com/bkmadecomedy/]

DLG390 Sarah Cummings asks thoughtful questions of herself.

Sarah Cummings [My%20life%20is%20like%20a%20movie,%20editor%20@sentencedlit] is a young trans woman who I hadn't met before. She is from a fairly small town and has had to make her own path as she is trans and bi-polar. Sarah is very serious about becoming an accomplished writer. Currently she is an editor at https://sentencedlit.org/ [https://sentencedlit.org/] She's been in New York for 3 years. As Dr. Lisa, I'm thinking it must be disorienting to be an outsider until you move to New York and fit in. Going from being an outsider to fitting in will challenge anyone's view of themselves and therefore, their creative work. Sarah puts a lot of pressure on herself, but she's only 25 and has good footing to get to where she wants to go.

1825 For comedian Casey J Salengo, it comes down to he wants to make his wife laugh.

Casey J Salengo has just released his special, "Welcome To The Jungle," [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHm_VdaGHD8]so I wanted to hear about his experience and his feelings about completing such an awesome project. Casey is super talented and is hilarious to watch as well as listen to. This special, any special for a comic, is a HUGE project that involves great comedy but with a serious side of production. I really want you ro WATCH HIS SPECIAL [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHm_VdaGHD8] cause I want you to be happy! Look for the stuffed fox when you watch it. Casey and I talked on Dr. Lisa in 2017, LISTEN HERE [https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/RADIO9767015536.mp3], when he was single and I was trying to get him a date from a call-in. Now he's happily married to great woman, also a comic, Courtney McGuiness [https://www.courtneymaginnis.com/]. Courtney is funny but also really good at all the things that are valuable that make for a great career as a designer. with a good, consistent salary and benefits. We take a deep dive into how this relationship has facilitated his growth as a human. Let's face it—women rock! PS: My husband listened to Casey and I talking and it helped him understand me better. I actually did some good therapy for my own relationship on this one!

DLG0125 Comedian Aamir Ashad takes Dr. Lisa by surprise in a new way.

Aamir Ashad is a stand up comedian who moved to New York from Rochester a year ago to pursue comedy. he's smart, funny and with a good work ethic, he is making great progress in reaching his goals. When I met Aamir at an open mic a few months ago I invited him on to discuss arranged marriage, as that is how his parents met. We have a deep discussion about Aamirs view of arranged marriage as well as his own thoughts about dating and sex. Aamir is Muslim, 22 years old and has very set ideas about women, staying pure and marriage. As Dr. Lisa, I tell him he sounds like he might be repressing some important feelings that would help his personal growth. He then lays an unexpected bombshell on me which changes our whole understanding of the discussion right there and then. (Go to timestamp 51:23) Conflict ensues, but we finish as mutually respected friends. Follow @aamirdoesstandup
