After discussing finally getting back on stage, we reflect on our first year in comedy and podcasting while setting goals for 2023.

This week for the holidays we are at each other's throats over our favorite (and least favorite) holiday music and films. Happy Xmas...the war is not over!

This week we discuss our lack of comedy and free time. Then we move on to the reduced nicotine content of cigarettes, Elon and Chappelle, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, and how little we understand the FTX crypto scandal.

This week we talk about more successful comedians and the evolution of comedy specials. Then we discuss some new movies, music, and the silliness of award shows.

This week we welcome our second guest, Andrew Brooks, to the podcast. After some technical difficulties (see bonus episode) we start over and have a fun and thoughtful conversation about comedy, relationships, and film. Check out Andrew's podcast, Alphabet Soup wherever you get podcasts:

This was our first pass at an episode with our second guest, Andrew Brooks. Unfortunately, due to Damian being a dumbass, Shawn's audio track was not recorded so he is only heard through the other two mics, making him hard to hear. We still wanted to include the episode, as it was a good conversation, but if you find it difficult to listen just skip to episode 29 where we recorded another episode with all audio intact.

In this early Thanksgiving episode we talk about Taylor Swift breaking Ticketmaster. Then we discuss feeling more comfortable on stage, and a tragic experience that Shawn now shares with Doug Stanhope.

This week we talk about having unfair disdain for people solely based on geography. Then we discuss a shift in our approach to open mics before moving on to the passing of Gallagher and Chappelle's latest SNL monologue.

This week we welcome our very first guest! It's our turn to host comedian Kyle Shahan, who has hosted many of the open mics we've covered on the podcast. Together we discuss Shawn's recent skateboarding injury and ponder our comedy experience thus far.

This week we talk about the random violence directed at Keanu Reeves and other news in film. Then we discuss Shawn's last two open mics, and how to get more comfortable on stage.
