Dees is back from his night off, and he is ready to go!
Pour Vaseline all over AC and then what?
Lock him in a closet?
Seems legit.
AC & Dees welcome another Kill Tony banger to the show—Maya Shimizu, featured on Episode 779.
Maya brings some of the biggest energy and drive of any comic we’ve had in the studio. Survival mode is turned all the way up. She’s willing to hustle, grind, and do whatever it takes to pay the rent and make this comedy thing work.
Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Maya has a family tree that is anything but simple.
Who’s of Japanese descent?
Somebody has to be!
And RIP to Grandpa—the OG Coke salesman.
From there, AC & Dees learn all about Hiroshima strength, what a “fake” college looks like, and what happens when a wrestler-turned-comic tries to survive the mean streets.
And then somehow…
Diaper fetish.
Well, that’s a new one.
You really can’t make this stuff up.
Maya had only been doing comedy for a few months when she got bucket-pulled on Kill Tony and absolutely crushed it.
So naturally we have to ask…
Is this what half-white privilege looks like?!?
Apparently, the secret to Kill Tony isn’t just the minute—it’s the interview.
So hey, Dees…
Want to insult each other and see if the followers go up?
A few important takeaways from this episode:
Maya’s genuine love for comedy and the people around it is infectious. She seems to be everywhere.
Check her out on Jonathan Hill’s Buddhism Hotline on YouTube, Kill Tony, hosting Whiskey Hole, and with Keep Pushing Comedy in Austin.
AC & Dees enjoyed every insane minute with Maya and are already looking forward to having her back.
And it’s “Complete Nonsense” that anyone willingly eats beans on toast!
Find Maya Shimizu.
You won’t be disappointed.
AC & Dees have so many episodes in the can that hockey season is already underway, the Knicks apparently won it all in five, and the city burned down.
That’s fun.
And somehow…
Mike Haha is still commenting?!?
Join CNP as AC & Dees welcome Sean Steele into the studio.
If Sean wasn’t doing comedy, we’re pretty sure he’d be running an “outfit” somewhere.
A heckler gets out of line?
Sean just gives a simple nod…
And suddenly the problem disappears.
Now THAT’S cool.
After losing one of his best friends, Sean stepped in to help keep his friend’s business going. Somewhere along the way, he also caught the comedy bug.
That eventually led to Sean teaming up with his buddies Bill Huebener and Scotty Chi to create The Dented Mic comedy troupe.
Sean seems to know everybody, works well with everyone, and understands every side of the comedy business.
Seriously, how can you not like this guy?
Just don’t forget one important detail…
Who owns 51%?
And whatever you do…
Don’t make Sean give the nod.
You came to a comedy club, people.
LAUGH, DAMMIT!
The Dented Mic traveled a long way to entertain you!
Sean also raises an important question:
If you left New York at five years old…
Are you still really a New Yorker?
And what happened with that bar show?
Did you win?!?
Thinking about joining the troupe?
The requirements seem pretty simple:
Be funny.
And it’s “Complete Nonsense” that golfers are somehow harder to deal with than comedians.
Don’t mess with the boss.
And make sure you check out The Dented Mic when they come to a town near you!
AC & Dees jump right in with Heather Erin—just in case she decides to leave!
Apparently, Heather was one of AC’s toughest guests to land.
Shhh… tread lightly.
Heather is a multi-talented artist, actress, country singer, and author.
Seriously… what doesn’t Heather do?
Coming from a rough childhood and surviving a difficult divorce, Heather has persevered, pushed forward, and continued to thrive.
Although, depending on the movie…
You just might not survive the whole thing.
Heather’s music comes straight from her real-life loves, losses, struggles, and victories. She writes what she has lived, and you can hear it in songs like “Rising Above” and “Breaking Free At Last.”
Her sound is powerful, memorable, and meant to leave you inspired.
And apparently music isn’t enough.
Heather is also writing a supernatural thriller novel, expected this holiday season, with hopes of eventually seeing it turned into a movie.
Because of course she is.
Everything this woman touches seems to turn into another project—all while raising four kids, working a full-time job, and still finding time to help people every day.
Meanwhile, AC is just happy hiding in the bushes finally paid off.
She gave in!
Heather says she’d love to play a serial killer someday.
Hey, why not?
She’s already been a clown producer.
Wait… what?!?
AC & Dees are also looking forward to the new season of Tulsa King with Sylvester Stallone, where Heather makes an appearance.
And before we move on…
Hey FG—do better, man. Do better!
It’s “Complete Nonsense” that Heather claims she’s shy.
After this conversation, she seems pretty outgoing to us!
Actress. Country artist. Author. Mom. Survivor.
Unbreakable… Heather Erin.
Catch her in a horror flick now—you won’t be disappointed!
Dees starts the day defending a grown man from prosecution over a $2 candy bar.
Is that seriously still a thing?!?
AC listens intently to the great candy bar debate before finally welcoming the rockstar he’s been “stalking” for a while…
Devon Marie!
Don’t worry—stalking in a good way.
We think?!?
Devon Marie is an accomplished singer from New Jersey who started performing as a child. By her teen years, she was already passing around cassette tapes and looking for her big break.
Wait… cassette tapes?
She’s way too young to even know what one of those looks like!
Her big break came through a talent contest at legendary New York radio station WPLJ—a serious blast from the past for AC.
That opportunity led to Devon being discovered by Diane Gibson, mother and longtime manager of multiplatinum artist Debbie Gibson. Devon would go on to serve as a backup singer for Debbie for years, while building a friendship that remains strong to this day.
And, of course, AC somehow managed to get himself in trouble with the Gibsons at some point.
Do better, AC.
AC & Dees are in awe of the rock-and-roll life Devon is living. From Rubix Kube to Always Jovi, an incredible tribute band touring the country and celebrating the music of Bon Jovi, Devon continues to stay busy and keep the stage rocking.
On top of that, Devon is a mom balancing even more projects, including Reality Bites and Country Live.
She has one of those stories that is equal parts entertaining, inspiring, and just plain fun to hear.
And apparently, one day Steven Tyler is going to make her faint.
It’s “Complete Nonsense” that we still don’t have a Devon Marie solo record!
Let’s go—it’s time.
Talent this big is hard to hide.
AC & Dees welcome comedian, podcaster, and former co-host of one of the most ridiculous shows on the internet, “Opie Unfiltered”—Tony P!
Former Opie & Anthony host Gregg “Opie” Hughes has been podcasting for years, and according to Tony, working with him was an experience all its own.
Then along comes Tony P—a comedian who brought a whole new energy to the show. Getting up at 6:00 in the morning, working for free, and apparently being compensated in quarter sandwiches, Tony eventually gets an opportunity he can’t pass up: opening for the hilarious Jim Norton in New York.
There’s just one problem.
Opie and Jim aren’t exactly exchanging Christmas cards.
And from Tony’s point of view, Jim couldn’t care less about the supposed feud.
It’s a one-way war, Opie!
Being the respectful guy he is, Tony tells Opie he’s going to take the opportunity.
The response?
Tony says Opie abruptly “fires” the guy who wasn’t even getting paid!
You can’t make this stuff up.
Since then, Tony P has been telling the hilarious story of the insanity surrounding his time on the show—including plenty of stories involving Ron Berman and some painfully awkward moments you just have to hear for yourself.
This is one episode you definitely don’t want to miss.
It’s “Complete Nonsense” from beginning to end as Tony takes AC & Dees through one unbelievable story after another.
Pay the F’ing Toll… and enjoy the ride!
And if you want to show Tony P some love, find him on Venmo:
@Tony-Papadog
After a tough day for AC, having to put the family dog down—RIP Biscuit—Dees helps him through it, and the boys get into the studio for a little much-needed comic relief.
AC & Dees welcome the well-rounded, retired Navy man Bill Huebener to the studio.
This man spent months traveling “leagues” under the sea. Wait… leagues measure distance, not depth?!?
Oh well. That book really duped us all.
And most importantly—thank you for your service, sir.
Bill, a self-proclaimed “nerd,” has collected thousands of comic books and more autographs than any one man probably should.
Now THAT is an investment in retirement.
AC & Dees would love to hit one of these comic cons and collect some autographs too…
Actually, maybe not.
From wrestlers to “chuckleheads,” nothing is off limits and nothing is boring when you’re talking to a guy who once snuggled up with a torpedo “like a fat chick.”
Bill has seen the world, lived some wild stories, and now he’s out making people laugh.
And no—not everyone is autistic nowadays! It’s just statistically impossible!
One thing we absolutely respect is the work Bill puts into shows for veterans, helping raise awareness and support for veteran suicide prevention. Get out, see a show, laugh a little, and support a great cause.
And it’s “Complete Nonsense” that getting your eyebrows done is somehow considered that gay!
Carry on, people!
AC & Dees welcome the multi-talented Matt Nagin to the studio.
Starting out in New York as an author before becoming an actor and comedian, Matt has done a little bit of everything—and somehow found success in all of it.
Matt is the kind of guy who can find humor in almost any subject. Seriously though… who is the Cheeto Man? AC is still confused.
Matt seems to live in that space where even the toughest conversations can use a little humility, perspective, and, of course, humor.
Then come the conspiracies.
Is water making men soft? Are frogs really turning gay? What really happened on 9/11? Did they seriously put a Confederate museum across from a museum about slavery?
What is going on?!?
Matt is also an avid gambler—and just wait until you see the dream catcher. We’ll leave it at that.
On top of comedy and acting, Matt is the author of five books, most of them centered around humor and available just about everywhere. With a background as an English major, writing has always been a big part of what he does, and it shows.
Religion, weddings, family, friends—nothing is safe and nothing is off limits.
AC & Dees sit back and enjoy the ride with this quick-hitting comic as the conversation goes in every possible direction.
And if that wasn’t enough, Matt has more than 60 movie credits to his name.
This guy stays in motion and keeps making things happen.
It’s “Complete Nonsense” that he made us wait this long.
Check out Matt Nagin—and while you’re at it, buy a book!
AC is jealous of Dees’ new jersey. Apparently, Dees needs to order him one too. AC can’t keep wearing the same old shirts every week.
Do better, AC.
AC & Dees welcome the big personality and comedy of Scotty Chi to the studio—and right away, we’re off and running.
It all starts with the FFA. Wait… what is that again? Future Fat…?!? No, no, no!
Scotty’s road to comedy might be one of the more interesting ones we’ve heard. After getting laughs while delivering a funny eulogy, he decided maybe comedy was worth a shot. Because apparently being funny during a funeral wasn’t enough, the next logical step was to get drunk and jump on stage for the first time.
Sounds reasonable.
This is one of those crews that just clicks. The conversation goes everywhere—from random baseball facts to the shocking realization that somehow we all listen to “dad rock” now.
Dad rock?!? WTF!?!
Scotty has already had a successful run on the internet. MrBeast? Say less.
Now Scotty and his co-host Jayzilla are taking on the podcast world with “White Trash & In Trouble,” and it’s already making some noise. Check it out!
By the end of the show, AC & Dees may have found themselves a new guest co-host in Scotty Chi. There’s no doubt we’ll be seeing more of him in the future.
And it’s “Complete Nonsense” that Scotty’s voiceovers keep getting flagged!
It’s an app, YouTube! IT’S AN APP!
Big personality. Plenty of stories. And apparently more than one version of the man himself.
The Many Faces of Scotty Chi!
Why is AC back at the doctor?
Apparently, he’s morbidly obese. Ouch. Push away from the table, live longer!
Meanwhile, Dees is apparently the “thick-face” Steven Seagal. There’s a visual nobody asked for.
AC & Dees welcome Isaiah Burns to the show, and things get dark fast. He starts us off with a gut punch—and somehow still makes us laugh. Hey, he made us smile. Not our fault!
Isaiah has taken tragedy and turned it into triumph, proving that even the darkest moments can become comedy.
And seriously, Florida—do better. Don’t drink and drive.
Isaiah’s comedy is open, honest, and completely fearless. He talks about everything life has thrown at him, from death and eating to eye issues, and refuses to let any of it get in the way of being funny, sharp, and quick-witted.
AC & Dees don’t get stumped in the studio very often.
Well… the runner of D&D managed to do it.
And no, Dees—the villager is not just running by!
Then AC has another realization he probably could have lived without.
It’s “Complete Nonsense” that he somehow got a Bruce Banner haircut without the Hulk body.
Don’t miss Isaiah Burns. After hearing his take on life, tragedy, and comedy, you may never look at the darkness the same way again.
AC & Dees welcome Ken & Goran of The Metal One Podcast to the studio, and these two come in hot.
The Metal One Podcast may be brand new, but it’s already climbing the charts. Great guests, quick wit, zero filter, and a heavy metal edge. Ken & Goran are clever, funny, unapologetic, and right in your face like a guitar solo turned up way too loud.
AC & Dees talk with the boys about interviewing everyone from therapists to mechanics. Apparently nobody is off limits. And how many times do you want Haha & Vance back?
Unlimited? Say more.
Then we learn the secret to getting free help: just let something break and somehow Goran appears.
Goran for life.
From there, AC, Dees, Ken, & Goran decide they’re qualified to solve the world’s problems.
How’d that go?
About as well as you’d expect.
Try to keep up because this thing moves fast. AI, music, comedy, work, relationships, travel, life—nothing is safe. Grab some caffeine before hitting play. You’re going to need it.
Goran, get on a treadmill.
Just maybe don’t die in a pyramid.
And while we’re asking important questions…
Who the hell has a chimney in Florida?!?
Ken & Goran are a killer duo, and The Metal One Podcast rocks. Finding the right person to do a podcast with makes all the difference.
Dees, you the man!
And it’s “Complete Nonsense” that we still haven’t found somebody willing to break our stuff in exchange for free labor.
The Boys of Metal One are here… Say More!
