LOU YOUNG - Lunch Meat Legends: Making a Meal Out of What You’ve Got

Host Coline Witt welcomes comedian and actor Lou Young, a former NFL cornerback turned content creator with 3M+ followers. Lou’s work includes Netflix’s They Cloned Tyrone, brand collaborations with the NFL, ESPN, and Nike, and a Sundance-featured pilot, Freelance.

Over tequila and a nostalgic “lunch meat nacho supreme” (Doritos, deli turkey, bologna, cheese, Old Bay, peppers, and ketchup), Lou opens up about growing up in a single-dad household, babysitting siblings at eight years old, and learning to cook through improvisation and budget-friendly meals. Lou also breaks down the business side of the NFL getting cut often, how little money is guaranteed as an undrafted rookie, and why he started social media while injured.

He shares the rise (and limits) of his “Shleve Harvey” character, shifting into more personal storytelling, and building a podcast largely out of pocket. by reinvesting in production while balancing fatherhood, family routines, and his daughter’s gymnastics success. See for privacy information.
