On this week’s episode, it’s time for another stroll down memory lane. The Fat Dude journeys way back to eighth grade — the fall of 1994 — to chat with one of his first Texas friends, Charles Hollman.

On this week’s episode, it is another trek down memory lane when the Fat Dude is joined by Brad Redick. Brad and Andy reminisce about that time they almost died, living in an apartment complex where people died, and how someone integral to a segment of their lives died. But it’s not all about death! No no! The two remember the good times about surviving high school, going to prom, and realizing that sometimes college is more about the experiences you have instead of the classes you are supposed to attend. Brad and Andy catch up on life, before taking a brief look back at 1998’s Rounders and the impact it had on their lives back in the day, whether the movie holds up or not.


You can find Brad on the Human Dads podcast anywhere you get your podcasts.

On Monday, March 15th, the nominations for the 93rd Annual Academy Awards were announced. As is the case every year, I had some opinions. This year, instead of ranting to myself in my car, I enlisted the help of fellow awards season fanatic, local actress and Marvel/Disney/movie buff, Jess Johannsen, to help me sort through the nominees. We offer our thoughts on what made us happy, what disappointed us, and where we stand on nomination leader, Mank.


You can see what projects Jess is up to and all of happenings going on with The Good Night Theatre Collective by checking them out across social media. Good Night has been able to keep theatre alive during the pandemic thanks to creative adaptation. See what they are up to next!

On this week’s episode. The Fat Dude is joined by Sioux Falls performing artist extraordinaire, Debbi Jones. Debbi is an actor, singer, dancer, comedian, director, and could probably build a theater from the ground up if she had to.
