We had the good fortune of connecting with Ross and AJ and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ross and AJ, what are you inspired by?
When people find success doing what they’re passionate about. And that goes beyond showbiz stuff. Just when someone identifies the psychic income that they get from basket weaving and then goes after it is inspiring.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
We discovered a unique chemistry totally by accident. What sets us apart, and something we are very proud of, is presenting a brand of absurd humor that is also relatable. A lot of times absurdity becomes outlandish and relatable comedy kills absurdity. We think we do a good job of melding those two.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
A French dip at Philippe, soup dumplings at Din Tai Fung, burgers at Burgers Never Say Die, a patio dinner at Bowery Bungalow, margaritas at Salazar, a quick round of golf at the country club (Los Feliz Par 3), Thai food at Night Song + Market, a matinee at the Cineramadome. If your into jogging, a nice scenic route is from Pasadena to Ventura and then down to Long Beach, then head up to Van Nuys for cool down at Orange Julius.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
We were both so fortunate to grow up with a support system that encouraged us to be creative and pursue this line; people like Bob and Bill and Phil and Margarette and Peter and Belinda and Stanley and Sarah and Sarah and Sarah and Sara and Ken and Annie and Jack and Carolyn and Louama and Gene and Jane… Rob is great, too. Susan.
