A Little Bit Me with Ted Alexandro Episode 027 Welcome Back Qatar with Jay Larsen
This week Ted has just returned from a jet-setting weekend performing for troops in the middle east and already he's raising the dead (house plants). Hot off the heels of his second trip halfway around the world to the deserts of Qatar (however its pronounced) Ted takes you deep inside his experience on the base with the troops, from visiting an on-base firehouse (inspiring memories of his own FDNY lineage) to the military precision of his insertion and extraction from the base, to sharing jokes with the troops both on stage and off, you will feel the heat and the dripping inter-pants sweat! Then in "What Are You Watching" Ted connects with the harrowing events of Free Solo due to the time he went up the climbing wall at the gym without a harness. And finally in this week's "The Catch Up" Ted finds Jay Larsen happy to admit he had children in order to help his act, and now they're his favorite audience!

In the last of a series of shows commemorating the 10th anniversary of OWS, Ted speaks with musician/activist Mark Marone. Ted and Mark lived a few doors down from one another for years but it took Occupy Wall Street for them to finally meet at Zuccotti Park.

Still flying solo as his wife lives it up in Hawaii without him, Ted contemplates the gap between the plans we make when we're on our own vs the reality of what we do (short answer: we eat multiple pizzas). Then as the solo flight reaches cruising altitude, Ted struggles with the deprivation of his entertainment choices while Madalyn is away, contemplates taking steroids, indulges his obsession with singing Phil Colins' Easy Lover into karaoke apps, and falls back in with a tough crowd spending extra time socializing at the Comedy Cellar, where Colin Quinn suggests Jim Norton should have to re-audition (and maybe everybody). Next in the triumphant return of "Cooking with Ted" Ted whips up some delicious vegan Cashew Pesto Pasta in the proper tone of voice. And finally in "The Catch Up" long-time Conan writer and hilarious comedian friend-of-Ted Laurie Kilmartin finally picks up Ted's call and get her to talk everything from how she made her LA shift to doing therapy with her mom, all in the time it takes to bake a pizza.

In possibly the most dramatic installment of "The Catch Up" ever, Ted struggles with the morality of cold-calling comedian Kyle Grooms - who is still recovering from his life-threatening brain operation - to ask, "Hey, wanna do my podcast?" (Spoiler alert: he does it)
