Comedy Roundtable welcomes comedian Eddie Ifft to the show. Just don't tell the New Jersey State Police.  What is the largest animal Eddie Ifft would share an inflatable raft with in the middle of a bay while sounding an air horn at 3:00 in the morning? Once again, Comedy Roundtable is not afraid to ask the tough questions.

Eddie Ifft (www.eddieifft.com) has been seen on Comedy Central, the Joe Rogan Experience, Last Comic Standing, Chelsea Lately, Getting Doug with High, Showtime, FX's Legit and his new album Sweet Home Malibama is available now.  Also, check out his Wodcast Podcast. 

In this episode, the guys start with a discussion of Bendall's two dogs - Good Dog and Bad Dog.  The other Jamie is starting a #FreeBadDog campaign.  

In our interview, Eddie describes how one man's party foul is another man's (or the same man's) eight outstanding warrants.  We were waiting to see how long it would take for someone to bring up the rat guy. Now we know.  And, Eddie makes it clear that Comedy Roundtable needs to find a niche, and the three guys chatting with a guest idea might not be original.

Comedy Roundtable welcomes Joe Bolter to the show.  Joe is the co-host of the Question Guys Podcast and the Executive Producer of the Netflix is a Joke Radio show What a Joke with Papa & Fortune on Sirius/XM. He has also been a writing partner, director and producer for Craig Ferguson's comedy specials and the producer and on air co-host for the Craig Ferguson Show.  But, until now, Joe had not been on the Comedy Roundtable - not even once. 

Comedy Roundtable had managed to get this far without the scourge of scandal, but alas it has now hit - and twice in one episode.  First, Adam and Jamie accuse the other Jamie of being a bit on the grumpy side.  And then, maybe proving that he was a bit on the grumpy side, the other Jamie accused Tom Papa of fake baking bread during the pandemic. When will it end? 

The shepherds managed to do not one, but two improv, one-take fake promo spots on the topic of celebrity bread and drag them out to the length of a mini-episode, but why do a mini-episode when Comedy Roundtable can make this episode that much longer.  This episode is long, but you should listen to it twice. First, to truly get the essence of the show, and the second time to pump up our download numbers. 

So, what will you learn by listening to this episode? How about what the currency of the apocalypse will be and what the odds are that Bendall's family makes the cut to join him on the ship to populate Mars. If that wasn't enough, you might learn a thing or two about the man of the hour (and a half), Joe Bolter. 

Finally, Craig Ferguson isn't Craig Ferguson without Joe Bolter.  Tom Papa is not Tom Papa without Joe Bolter.  Fortune Feimster isn't Fortune Feimster without Joe Bolter.   Netflix is not Netflix without - well, that one might be a stretch.  But, Comedy Roundtable knew it wasn't Comedy Roundtable without Joe Bolter, so enjoy the show!

Sheep, hitch yourself to the fence post and get comfortable for this episode with video game designer and licensed therapist, Howard Scott Warshaw, author of Once Upon Atari - How I Made History By Killing an Industry, available now wherever books are sold (and in twenty-seven different locations worldwide where books are not sold).

Howard Scott Warshaw will tell you that he is the most famous person you've never heard of.  He was a video game pioneer and alleged video game company assassin.  Currently, he is a psychotherapist in Silicon Valley, serving many of same type of game designers that he was at Atari years ago.  Some kids, like your shepherd Bendall, were given Intellivision gaming systems as a kid, and other kids' parents loved them.  Those that actually received the Atari 2600 gaming system were no doubt delighted to play Howard Scott Warshaw designed games, such as Yars Revenge and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Maybe not so much with his infamous ET video game, ripe with pit falls (and not the Pitfall Harry variety), that some accuse (falsely) as the catalyst to the collapse of the video game industry

In this episode, you'll learn about Adam's potential addiction to Fortnite, the many posthumous travels of Atari illustrator Jerome Domurat and where best to sit when heckling at a funeral.  Prepare yourself for life advice, wonderful anecdotes and plenty of puns from Howard Scott Warshaw.  To learn more about him, visit https://newonceuponatari.hswarshaw.com/.

The Comedy Roundtable welcomes fantastic guest in Gaby Dunn.  The Sheep are constantly amazed that the Shepherds are able to get the quality of guest that regularly joins the Flock.  With Gaby, we stepped it up a notch - essentially employing the same tactics to land the interview that she did with her 100 Interviews project.  Oh, and it helps that she is kind and generous with her time.  

Gaby is a writer, actress, journalist, comedian, LGBTQ activist, and podcaster. She hosts the Bad With money podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bad-with-money-with-gaby-dunn/id1144712710), which returns on March 31, 2021.  Gaby also co-hosts Just Between Us with her comedy partner Allison Raskin (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/just-between-us/id1454312489). Oh, and we'll throw in that she is a New York Times bestselling author. As your shepherds learn during the interview, Gaby just gets stuff done. But more important that all of that, Gaby is kind and funny and interesting.  And, that is exactly the type of person we like to have as a guest on Comedy Roundtable.

Just when is it appropriate to say "I Love You" and can it lose its luster (such as when you say it angrily to a telemarketer)?  

Your shepherds decide that self-promotion marketing on funeral online guestbooks is maybe inappropriate.  

We'll bet you had not thought about being baptized after your death.  Adam has (and Bendall now can't stop thinking about it).
 
We'll bet you had not thought of the cadence of comedians and the connection with musical time and comedy.  J Chris Newberg has.  

We'll bet you had forgotten about the Foo Fighters story told in the Lino Rulli episode.  Hernan hopes you have. 

When you are not listening to Comedy Roundtable, check out J Chris Newberg's own podcast, Heroin Has a Great Publicist (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heroin-has-a-great-publicist/id1455119621).

The Comedy Roundtable returns with special guest Lino Rulli, host of the Catholic Guy Show on Sirius/XM.  Your Shepherds, Jamie Bendall, Adam Haigh and Jamie Hernan are pleased to welcome the Bud Light drinking, Foo Fighter listening, Vikings supporting, amateur curling  Lino Rulli for the listening pleasure of the Sheep.  

Don't ask Lino for a business card, but he won't mind if you ask him if aliens can be Christians or what is his drink of choice.  Hernan tells a delightful, underrated story about the three tiered, 72,000 square foot concert venue erected by Direct TV/AT&T to host a Foo Fighters concert during the big game in Atlanta in 2019 and then destroyed afterwards.  Really, it was a lovely story.  Don't miss it.  The other guys loved it.  Really.  

Tune in for discussion of destination funerals, whether people from Minnesota or Florida are better, Tom Brady (of course, ugh) and confession tourism.  And, find out if Lino knows what it means to be human.

Self-titled by Craig Gass himself, the Craig Gass Doesn't Know When to Shut Up and Makes Us Hear Voices in Our Head episode is here.  Comedy Roundtable welcomes comedian Craig Gass to the show, and learns that Tracy Morgan's voice thinks the Comedy Roundtable is sexy as hell.

Does the Bills Mafia really body slam tables as part of their tailgate ritual? Just what did Adam do at not one but two super fantastic football games to end the NFL season?  Will Bendall survive the trauma of the football season ending?  Does Hernan actually admit respecting Tom Brady?

Known for his guest spots on The Howard Stern Show and his spot on impersonations, Craig Gass has been performing stand up since 1993.  Craig also has the distinction of seeing more "Big Games" (final game of the NFL season) than most mere mortals.  We'll bet you can't guess why Craig started doing "voices."  You'll have to tune in to find out, but it is certainly a twist.  Craig tells us the heartwarming story of his fan turned buddy, Bob Miles, and how Mike McCready ended up writing a song for Bob to hear on his deathbed.  That's right, this is a comedy podcast!

Celebrity voices are simulated and no endorsement is implied by the inclusion of some kick ass impersonations by Craig Gass.  Really, he sounds more like the celebrity than the actual person themselves.  We will be waiting on Robert DeNiro, Christopher Walken, Tracy Morgan, Morgan Freeman, Bobby Slaton, Lars Ulrich, Tom Arnold and Gene Simmons to come on the Comedy Roundtable and do their best Craig Gass impression.

The story of the infamous Charles Barkley shirt swap continues into Episode 2 of Season 3 of the BHHcast, as your shepherds Jamie Bendall, Adam Haigh and Jamie Hernan welcome Ali Kulmer to the show.  Ali is the wife of Mark Kulmer, our guest on Episode 1 of Season 3 and widely thought to be the one who initiated the shirt swap with Sir Charles.  But, the BHHcast gets down to the fine details of the event with Ali and finds out Charles Barkley might have initiated the conversation.  Ali's appearance represents the first time the BHHcast has welcome a guest married to a former guest.

In 2013, Ali, her husband Mark and co-host of the BHHcast Adam Haigh were enjoying an evening at the Four Seasons hotel bar in Atlanta, Georgia when they encountered Charles Barkley, Laurence Fishburne and a mystery man in an orange suit.  As Ali, Mark and Adam were on their way out of the bar, Charles may have made an innocent comment or two to Ali about the fact that she was pleasing to the eyes.  Barkley mentioned to Ali's husband, Mark, that his shirt was ugly, to which Mark suggested that the honorable thing to do was for Barkley to trade shirts with him because Barkley couldn't let Mark have to leave the bar with his beautiful wife while wearing an ugly shirt.  Laurence Fishburne agreed with the logic and Chuck, being the good sport that he is, agreed to the famous swap.  We learned in Episode 1 of Season 3 that Charles Barkley's publicist (seated a table or two over) didn't think it was the best idea, but Sir Charles stepped up anyways. 

Ali also talks to the guys about what it is like raising two daughters, one of whom is an elite level ballerina.  Ali and Mark's oldest daughter, Isabella (Instagram), is a Royal School of Ballet International Scholar.  Adam has had the joy of knowing Ali, Mark and their kids seemingly forever and shares with everyone how cool Ali and Mark's youngest daughter, Ava, is as well.  While Isabella is practicing ballet, Ava is likely to be found at the skate park or chilling at the beach.  

The BHHcast reached out to representatives of Charles Barkley and Laurence Fishburne to invite them to be guests on the show to discuss the story.  The representatives of Charles Barkley initially responded but did not get back to us with a yes or no so who knows - maybe we'll have an update to this episode with an interview with Sir Charles.  Laurence Fishburne's reps gave us a hard, but polite, pass.  The man in the orange suit remains unidentified. 

Check out our other episodes of the BHHcast, including interviews with Rob "The Marquis" Messel, the reigning World Champion air guitarist, John Heffron - winner of Season 2 of NBC's Last Comic Standing, Taylor Williamson - runner up on Season 8 of America's Got Talent, Marcus Harvey - The Barber Star and host of Ghost Hunters, and more.   The BHHcast  has many fascinating interviews scheduled for Season 3.  Be sure to subscribe so that you get the latest episodes.
