It's time for another I'M TRYING with your host Jonathan Giles. Today on the show, we talk to Kaseem Bentley. Kassem was a writer on "Problematic with Moshe Kasher," and he just released a brand new album, "LAKEVIEW." We talk about a very funny photo that my brother sent me, and dive into what it means to be a black comedian, how comics should value themselves more and he convinces me to drop a hot 16, but I only gave him four.

Check out "LAKEVIEW on iTunes at itunes.apple.com/us/album/lakeview/1457832693 or stream it on @blondemedicine.

04. KNOWING YOUR WORTH with Kaseem Bentley

This week, I sat down with Aisha Alfa, absolutely my favorite person in LA! We jumped right into catching up on her Toronto Raptors and their big NBA championship. I learned that the first NBA game was played in Toronto, which doesn't make any sense at all. We talked about how it important it is to have a supportive partner in any endeavor, how to take control when life throws you an amazing curveball, and what her first post-pregnancy meal will be!
