You can't have a podcast series about getting arrested without this guest! Real Rich is a local comic that floats between the OC/LA comedy scenes, and most would agree that he is best described as your poor man's (Joey "Coco" Diaz) I knew this was going to be a great episode as soon as he told me "I can talk about jail but I DON'T talk about prison" We talk about his Fame in the Ukraine (youtube tribute) Going to Jail - Comedy Talk - and an off the rails political spiral of hilarity and misinformation. BONUS: My all time Favorite Real Rich clip  "I'll f**k You in the A$$ for fun" LINK
