Comedy

Friday, April 12, 2019   After more than a year, we recently reunited in-person & on the heels of our man date we're back at last with a tangent-filled, wide-reaching conversation that brought out a lot of laughter, tin foil hats & our best dating/fatherly advice. With a new recap series coming soon (covering the Netflix #RealityTV show 'Selling Sunset') we treated this episode as a catch-up pod while chatting about topics which include: what we're watching ('Serenity' starring Matthew McConaughey & the HBO doc 'Leaving Neverland'), podcast & book suggestions, whether the great pyramid was a part of a consciousness raising initiation during ancient times, demons haunting Geoff's dreams (along with the new protective charm he keeps under his pillow), how to step up your at-home barista game & @ 46:08 "20 topics to talk about with women that will spark great conversations." How does our advice compare to theadultmale.com? How can you use the "5 questions game" as the ultimate tool to get whatever you want? It's all here! & as always, reach out with your feedback because we love to hear from you.

Ep. 257: What's a Typical ‘E & G’ Conversation Like? w/ Geoff Keith & Ian Gulbransen

Friday, March 22, 2019   On this episode, we talk all about the Oscar-nominated movie "A Star Is Born." This is the fourth version of this film, but it's the first for us so move over Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand & Janet Gaynor (whoever you are, what were the 1800s like madam?) it's time for Lady Gaga who may or may not have been involved in the "fall" of Lina Morgana. Kris Kristofferson, you're one K-lettered middle name away from having the worst initials ever so we'd rather have Bradley Cooper to swoon over. There were a lot of homages Bradley Cooper threw in to his version of #AStarIsBorn that are pretty interesting. We cover them & also, did you cry? What would you rate the movie 1-10? How crappy was Ally to her awesome boss at the restaurant who bent over backwards to let her pursue her career? The E & G singing contest is back!

Ep. 256: ‘A Star Is Born’ Film Review w/ Geoff Keith, Ian Gulbransen & Jackson Maine

Special Edition: 'The GK Show' Interview with Pete Giovine   My buddy Pete Giovine is the first guest on The GK Show. Pete is a super funny comedian as well as former host of Beacher’s Madhouse in New York City, Las Vegas, and Hollywood. Not only is he one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet he has some of the best stories as well. On this episode we discuss how he was able to get a job when he moved to NYC because his criminal court judge father called in a favor to a connected friend in the city. Total Italian stereotype!   He waited tables for people like Robert DeNiro while at the same time starting out in stand up comedy as well as forming a sketch group that practiced on Saturday Night Live’s stage. When one of the members of Next Monday left their script for a sketch on set the sketch ended up on SNL the next week. Pete also talks about which Hollywood celebs were a bit needy, smoking golden wrapped joints with Miley Cyrus, Bill Burr crediting Beacher’s Madhouse for his iconic rant in Philadelphia which sprung him to stardom, and dating Stormy Daniels while now President Donald Trump infamously paid her for sex.   Follow Pete on Twitter & Instagram @PeteGiovine and check out his website www.hairandteeth.com   Support the podcast & check out our new website @ www.eandgpodcast.com   Our show is made possible because of our listeners & by far, the best way to support us (no matter how much you give) is by setting up a monthly donation through PayPal.

Ep. 255: Pete Giovine on Dating Stormy Daniels, Hanging w/ Miley Cyrus, Johnny Depp Fights & More! (Special Edition)

Saturday, March 16, 2019   Famous actresses Felicity Huffman & Lori Laughlin were among many wealthy parents recently caught in a major college admissions scam. On this episode, we're chatting about their legal case while also discussing how money influences college admissions, why people go to college in the first place, our college experiences, favorite college movies & much more! Wait until you hear us get deep into the "more." Ian & Geoff (who's writing this? Someone's writing in third person & I think it's Ian. Sincerely, Geoff) had completely different college experiences. For example, Ian finished & Geoff dropped out like a loser. We discuss classes & teachers we had, parties, dorm life & Geoff's record setting Division 3 basketball career (1.4PPG, 1.1APG, 0.5MPG). Ian may or may not have slept with a community college professor to receive a marketing certificate that didn't even go towards his degree (but should have). Thank you for reading the description for this podcast. The winning PowerBall numbers will be 5, 11, 26, 29, 52 & 10.

Ep. 254: ‘Celebrity, Privilege & the College Admissions Scandal’ w/ Geoff Keith & Ian Gulbransen

Wednesday, March 6, 2019   Two weeks after the birth of Ian's son Milo & we're back! Milo Holden Gulbransen is happy & healthy as is Ian's wife so it's on to #FantasySuites & a man who's never had a pregnancy scare in his life, Colton "The Virgin" Underwood!! Will he have sex? EVER?! It's all I (Geoff) can think about. On this episode, we're chatting all about what we saw with Tayshia; including her "lack of physical intimacy" with Colton during her overnight date. Next up was Hannah G, PSYCH! Hannah gets no paycheck for episode 9 because it was all about Cassie breaking up with Colton while he had his lucky condom in his Velcro wallet. She wasn't feeling the marriage vibes with Colton especially after production flew out her father to orchestrate the first televised #InternationalCockBlock on a virgin no less! Leading Colton to finally jump the fence & proceed to go full Truman Burbank. Chris Harrison is on the hunt with his perfect jogging form (as I've always expected), but what's going to happen when he finds him? Somewhere Mike Fleiss must be burning down a joint, giggling to himself on top of a pile of well-deserved cash as this plays out exactly how producers hoped. The question is, what will they think of next? #TheBachelor #ColtonBurbank #GetInTheVan #CondomShopping #Caelynn4Bachelorette   Support the podcast & check out our new website @ www.eandgpodcast.com   Our show is made possible because of our listeners & by far, the best way to support us (no matter how much you give) is by setting up a monthly donation through PayPal.
