Comedian, promoter, and producer Rip Micheals stops by the Baller Alert Podcast Studio with host BT for a candid and unfiltered conversation. Rip opens up about his journey from being homeless with his daughter in New York to building a comedy touring empire, selling out full-bowl arena shows like the April Fools Comedy Jam and Fall Back in Love Tour. He breaks down the business of touring, his views on social media comedians versus traditional stand-up, and why so many comedians carry bitterness and long-standing rivalries. Plus, Rip addresses his health struggles—including surviving a heart attack on stage—and playfully challenges Ray J to a $100,000 fight!
