Please enjoy episode 1 of StanLand, a hilarious new comedy fantasy story featuring Rhea Seehorn, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, John Waters, Steve Little, Timm Sharp, and more! Written by Mike Sacks with S.G. Wilson.

A cynical podcaster, Melanie Hughes (Rhea Seehorn), who investigates tales of “mysterious phenomena,” stumbles upon the most outrageous story of her career. An unemployed mediocrity from Maryland, Stan Little (Bobby Moynihan), has discovered a once-pristine, Narnia-like fantasy world and is accidentally ruining it by introducing commercial capitalism run amok. Will Melanie be able to escape this magical land overrun by fast-food chain restaurants, waterparks and vape stores?

This episode was recorded in the summer of 2023.

Lucas and Sam discuss the advantages and disadvantages of creating a video for a school project instead of just doing a regular essay. They both engage in a nuanced dialogue of aesthetics (particularly hair) and how certain styles communicate differently from one another. The two end off their conversation about how passive aggression is inflected in language with varying degrees of proficiency and context.

In today’s episode the two friends talk about what they know about each other through a tiktok meme

Statement on the Genocide in Gaza

I will start off by quoting from Jewish Voices for Peace “There is no justification in international law for the targeting of civilians or the holding of civilian hostages. That was true when Hamas attacked Israeli civilians We must apply that same standard to the Israeli military” (https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/ceasefire/)

The ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians is a horrifying atrocity. The people of Gaza are in desperate need of humanitarian aid. We must implore our elected officials to demand an immediate ceasefire and end to this genocide. Palestinians must have the right, like everyone else, to live in safety and peace with their families and loved ones free from this brutal occupation.

Free Palestine!

Are you more inclined towards cadence, verbiage, timbre, idioms or turn of phrase(s)? No matter your choice Sam and Lucas have you covered. In this episode, the boys implore their local representatives for media literacy and are consequently forced to reckon with the ways they, themselves, are fooled by social media.

Moving on a protestant and an orthodox (Sam & Lucas) discuss the possibility of no-screen Sundays as the luddite within us screams to be acknowledged. Mother (a.k.a. Bréne Brown) is evoked to help shed light on the devastating impact of perfectionism that plagues the two hosts.

Sometimes wholesome memes can be the digital object that tether us to the possibility [and reality] of altruistic life. After reveling in the beauty of wholesomeness the two besties ponder pivoting into a career in the sciences. The thesis of the podcast rears its head and the two are forced to grapple with the utility and profundity of unknowing. Sam & Lucas reflect once again reflect on mother’s (Brene Brown) words of wisdom. The denouement eases the audience into a candid conversation around small talk and the comedy of everyday life.
