About the 3 Ugly Mugs podcast

“3 Ugly Mugs” brings together local comedians Johnny B, John J. Murray and Matt Fernandez for lively conversations about the NFL, college football, MLB, craft beer, pop culture and local happenings. A Tampa native, Fernandez is known for his detached, nonchalant comedic style and has performed alongside some of comedy’s biggest names, including Jim Jefferies, Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle. Murray brings his self-proclaimed “Florida Man” identity to the conversation, while Johnny B draws on 22 years of stand-up comedy and 10 years on air, finding humor in life’s absurdities, particularly his own. Together, the three bring their distinct personalities and comedic perspectives to the microphone.
