  • The Lou Perez Podcast - Doc Dixon

    The Lou Perez Podcast - Doc Dixon
    Sep 16 2024

    In life and magic, some secrets should not be revealed...

    I’m joined by magician and comedian Doc Dixon for a magical (?) episode of the podcast. You may recognize Doc as one of the few magicians to fool Penn & Teller.

    So, what is the story behind pulling a rabbit out of a hat?

    How did Teller win his Shadows lawsuit?

    Has Doc worked with Satan much?

    While I don’t believe in “magic,” magicians still freak me out. If you get a chance to see Doc Dixon’s act, he’ll make you laugh, laugh, laugh, and cap it with a mind seizure.

    The Lou Perez Podcast - Will Reusch
    Sep 2 2024

    How to be an influencer without showing your butt.

    While most influencers on Instagram are just influencing people to look at their bodies, Will Reusch is actually having a real positive impact on the world. With over 17 years of teaching experience in both public and government schools, Will’s using his platform to promote intelligent discourse, genuine curiosity, and he even shares some of my stuff (when appropriate).

    The man has a superhuman ability to converse with people with whom he disagrees and I’m happy he came into my bubble to talk. I think some of his positivity rubbed off on me and I’m excited that he’ll continue to spread it through his own online school called Patterdox.
