Ball Gag

Hello listeners! I am back this week with another episode of my favorite podcast! We've got a range of topics on our hands with this one: death, comedy, plastic surgery, and everything in between. I start off with some closing remarks (is that appropriate?) on my dead comic friends and the major realization I came to regarding my own mortality and funeral plans. I reference Shakespeare's "salad days," question outdoor movie screenings in cemeteries, and mention the lasting bonds that I've made with certain friends. I also relate some fun stories at comedy shows in the past week, discuss the discomfort you feel when you make out-of-character decisions, and round out the episode with a brief rant on the over-use of cosmetic injections in young girls. Listen and learn!

After a month-long gap, BALL GAG is back! I'm so happy to type those words! This week's episode starts off with some fun takes on my movie experience during the past few weeks. I talk about working on set in New Jersey, New York, and Texas, relive some highlights and lowlights with the cast and crew, and provide some unique opinions on the ~art~ of acting. On a more relatable level, I discuss human behavior and the brief fear I felt about being forgotten by my peers in Los Angeles. The second half of the episode gets a little more somber with dedications to two comic friends whose deaths shook me. I don't cry or anything, but I'm glad I took the time to honor their memories in the best way I could think to do. It's heavy stuff, but I get through it with fond memories and levity. Regardless, it's good to be back, baby!

It's the last BALL GAG Thursday for a while! This week, I relive my experience performing at the Brea Improv, detail upcoming plans regarding all things Hollywood, and discuss my deep-rooted appreciation for encouragement. I also explain what happens when I get competitive (NSFW), why I'm bad at curating presents, and why I don't respond to online strangers. The most interesting part of the episode? I reflect on the impact of mental health awareness, its extremes, and posit that such extremes are the cause of an increase in weak-mindedness. Enjoy the show!

Welcome back listeners! I may have lost some of you with the last episode, but I promise this one is a hell of a lot *spicier.* The main story? A wild night at the Comedy Store full of confrontation, nudity, and DRAMA. I also recall a creepy experience with a stranger at a grocery store, rationally discuss some disparities between men and women in comedy, and explain why - despite it all - I feel as though things are looking brighter. After a heated rant about passive aggression, I wrap up by encouraging people to have more romantic crushes. Episode 21 turned out to be wilder than I hoped. Enjoy the show!

Hello listeners, and welcome to another episode of BALL GAG! After a short hiatus, I am back this week to discuss all things personal and professional. I recap the details of my recent break up and the range of reflections surrounding it, as well as the delay of an acting role. I share my anxieties about the social requirements for success, explain an odd Covid interaction in my building's elevator, and discuss why even the most independent people need help from time to time. My mood remains rather heavy throughout, though peppered by moments of silliness and levity. Themes include codependence, needing support, needing people, and all the gray areas in between. Listen or don't!

Greetings listeners! Boy, are you in for a wild ride. This week's episode of BALL GAG is undoubtedly the most mystical and existential. I explain my experiences with something that resembles disassociation, try to figure out why time is such an elusive and ever-changing beast, and detail how this all relates to spirituality. I explicitly retell a story I never thought I'd share: the time I had what I can only describe as a vision. What? Yes, and I know how that sounds. Worry not, this episode also contains personal news regarding a new comedy hosting gig, musing on what pets actually think when we call their names, and an analysis of personalities that just want to watch the world burn. Listen to get deep!

Oh! It's Thursday and we're coming in hot with another episode of BALL GAG. This week is full of bangers. I announce a cool opportunity I have in the world of Hollywood, detail my experience nearly falling into a pyramid scheme, and recount some interesting social interactions. I explain how standoffishness is a veil for social anxiety, explore why some women in comedy may be able to rise so quickly, and even touch on the effects of human flatulence on pets. What? Yes - so tune in and hear these words!

Oh, hello! BALL GAG is back after a two-week hiatus. Fresh from my sick bed and from vacation, I sit down this week to recount my trip to Mexico, ponder the active use of empathy, and delve deeper into "perfectionism." I highlight various observations during my travels, explain why judgment is not the worst thing in the world, and make progress in the deletion of certain anxieties. This one is fun, wry, dry, and ever-so existential. Listen or don't!

Greetings listeners and welcome to another episode of BALL GAG. In episode 16, I sit down with a reinvigorated lust for my podcast and get pretty deep. I reflect on the preteen summer camp experience that made me realize I was an atheist and how memories of it have changed over time. I also discuss evolution of self at length - a theme you'll notice has recurred frequently. Finally, I wrap up with a deep exploration into "the silent treatment," its causes, and the damage it inflicts. I get serious and satirical; themes include memory, self-help, psychology, defense mechanisms, perfectionism, and more. Listen or don't!

Oh hello! Welcome to another episode of BALL GAG. This week's episode is a great representation of being socially stunted! Ah! I reflect on losing my place in "Comic Wars," the anxiety of doing roast battles, and remind myself of my true calling. Also, I discuss my discomfort with giving people compliments, the difficulty of being in prolonged social situations, and the fear of losing your edge. IT'S A GOOD ONE FOR THE SOCIALLY ANXIOUS AND INTROVERTED. Listen or don't!
