About

Ralph

Ralph Tetta is a thirty-year veteran of stand-up comedy, storytelling, and blogging. He’s performed in clubs, colleges, theaters, and festivals across the U.S., sharing stages with some of the biggest names in the business—including a memorable stretch touring with George Carlin.

Raised in blue-collar Western New York, Ralph’s comedy is sharp, honest, and deeply relatable—whether he’s talking about parenting, politics, or falling down the stairs. Critics have called him “original, energetic, and packed with a warehouse of rich material”—which sounds about right if you’ve ever seen him in action.

These days, when he’s not performing, writing, or dodging hecklers, you’ll find him trading stories and sarcasm every week on The $18 Podcast.

Chris

Chris spent more than a decade behind the microphone in radio—hosting shows, running operations, programming music, and occasionally locking himself out of the station at the worst possible time. Eventually he transitioned into higher education, where he works in digital marketing and academic administration.

An old-school music nerd with a love of plaid shirts, baseball play-by-play, and anything that starts with “pepper,” Chris brings a background in broadcasting, storytelling, and barely organized chaos to The $18 Podcast. His job? Keep the conversation moving while occasionally making things weirder.
