At The Elephants with Rob Morris

Caitlin Alyn is definitely one of those people I met on campus maybe once or twice very briefly but we became friends in Los Angeles in and around the comedy scene. She played my club in Austin, the ROMO ROOM and I always love watching her do standup. In this episode we talk about her standup journey a bit but we also discuss her overall feelings about art and motivation to create it. We close out the show talking about sobriety which we both dealt with this year in new ways. Don't miss it!

Happy Thanksgiving! Daniel Kelly is back on At The Elephants with tales of travel and moving to Austin, TX. We split a bottle of wine that Daniel drank all by himself and caught up about Austin, comedy, getting a "real job" while scratching that creative itch.   Definitely recommend you take a listen to the quarantine episode we recorded in 2020 which is also available on all platforms as it really is the feature film whereas this is the made for TV sequel. The first episode is longer and in person and this was a short episode shot over zoom. Think of it as parts 1 & 2 and this is part 3. Don't miss it! Its all Daniel Kelly and that's all you need to know.

THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED in MAY 2020.

A reunion seven years in the making, today I'm joined by fellow Drama Directing 2013 grad, Daniel Kelly of Spring, TX. Sarasota, Travel Photography, the future of VR and much more. Enjoy. Excuse the not perfect sound quality in my makeshift quarantine studio.

Think of this as the main feature film before the made-for-tv sequel coming out tomorrow.

This is being published the day before Daniel's new episode from 2022 but this first episode is longer and in person and this was a short episode shot over zoom. Think of it as parts 1 & 2 and this is part 3. Don't miss it! It's all Daniel Kelly and that's all you need to know.

This episode with Ellie Barone is one of my favorite episodes of AtE EVER! I mean it. I had not seen Ellie in almost a decade and this was our first conversation after that friend hiatus. We didn't have a falling out or anything, we just had different paths and didn't keep in touch. It turns out there was a lot I didn't know was going on and the wonderful, talented, beautiful Ellie caught me up on everything. She's back at the acting work and you can catch her on SEASON 3 of HIGHTOWN on STARZ. But first, you can get a heaping helping of her right here on At The Elephants. Don't miss it!

Joe Flanders returns to At The Elephants to talk about his post-pandemic journey to teaching and his desire to make something he loves without thought of what happens next. In his recent position teaching high school, Joe had a pretty harrowing experience with panic attacks that put him the emergency room and then on medical leave from work. He talks about how he got there and how he got back, plus a pretty sobering moment being recognized at the movie theater. That and much more on this week's episode don't miss it!

So much to be said about the multi-talented Shayna Penn! She has stage managed countless things including a huge number of shows on cruise ships. We got into her Jewish background, growing up in South Jersey and how she found theatre. She is also the co-creator of the new LOVEABLE LUCY children's book series so go check THAT out! It's not often that I get someone who out-talks me on this show and I have to say I am grateful for it and I hope, like me, you enjoy listening to Shayna Penn!

Steven Kopp has a tremendous mind and a beautiful heart. We talked about his journey through sobriety and into streaming games on Twitch. This is a truly special episode for me, personally. Not talking to my best friends for years can be tough but I was on the edge of my seat to hear what Steven had been dealing with. I hope that anyone who struggles with addiction gets something out of this episode and if you need help: get it when you're ready. These stories are so important and I thank Steven for sharing it.

Jared Thompson is one of the best clowns around! Catching up since his last episode of AtE, Jared shares his journey from street performing in New York to open mics in Arkansas. We talk comedy, spirituality, rebooting your creativity and the search for laughter in this week's episode. Don't miss the tremendous J-RAD. Follow him on social for near-daily inspiration. It'll light your fire if you need a lift, I'm telling ya!
