Kristy Belich and I are coming to you from Austin, TX, where she just moved. I tagged along on the drive out from Southern California and stuck around for three days to feel out the Austin comedy scene and the vibe of the city in general before recording this swapcast and flying back. (Side note: check out THee Fire Wolf Podcast w/ Kristy Belich.) In this episode, we discuss the move to Austin and the journey we went on to get there.

Jake Bassi is a comic and musician based in Oklahoma City. He joins the podcast this week to share his thoughts and experiences with comedy during the pandemic. We also talk about music, baseball, and things we're working on personally. Check out his podcast, "The Jakeing Off Show."

My anticipation of performing in Tulsa, OK, on Thanksgiving reminds me of the time my family had Thanksgiving dinner at 13 Coins near Sea-Tac Airport. This week, I appeared on both Pittsburgh Community TV and the top live podcast in the world, "Kill Tony." I discuss my initial feelings on those things and how I should maybe dial it back on the overthinking.

The US presidential election has been called and you heard it here first! I give my take and try not to spend too much time on it. More good news, as I just got confirmation I will be on the road in Oklahoma and Texas at the end of the month. I also discuss the role that manifestation has played in my life and how––now that I'm aware of it––I feel like it helps me live fluidly.

It's Halloween and I just returned from Phoenix, AZ, where I performed at a few open mics since California is shut down still. I learned a few things about comedy while there, which I discuss here.

I can finally see again! The LensCrafters ordeal has come to an end and I feel like I'm on the up and up. I discuss some of my new creative endeavors in comedy and music as well as my thoughts on voting and the future of the Trumpville merch stores here in the Morongo Basin.

I'm legitimately enjoying baseball again, as while I'm recording this podcast, I'm also watching the Dodgers get off to an early lead in Game 6 of the NLCS. I discuss the most exciting and frustrating things going on in my life this week.

Just got back from Prescott, AZ, where I performed my first paid standup gig and then became a tourist for an afternoon. Earlier this week, I stayed in Beverly Hills with my friend and writing partner, Jerry Garcia, during which time I felt myself grow emotionally and mentally.

Three separate trips to LensCrafters and I still can't see without eye strain and back pain. That's been eating at me a lot, but in positive news, I will be performing standup in Prescott, AZ on October 9. The glasses thing is really pissing me off though.

I've made it to 50 episodes! What a ride it's been and I'm excited to see where else this goes. This week, I talk about how much I hate stagnation, but also how it might be in our best interest to understand it if we want any shot at living in a democracy.
