MONDAYS AM I RIGHT?! Guys that was my impression of Garfield, and I think I killed it. We got a new episode of HYMI on Monday this week because last week got super crazy with all the Halloween spookiness around town. We're also gonna have another episode this week on Wednesday! Two HYMIs for the price of one!

Coming up later this week we'll have Katy Dolle and next week we'll have Amrita & Sunanda from The Indian Wedding Show in LA! Thanks again for listening and see you Wednesday!

No intro again this week because a) it's 2am and Sarah is sleeping and b) it's almost Halloween & it's WAY SPOOKIER THIS WAY! Speaking of spooky, we've got Lizze Gordon on this week's episode. She wrote and produced the horror movie #Captured, a movie she admittedly hated making and writing! We talk about the similarities between making bad horror and bad comedy, paying your dues in the production industry, stealing bibles from a church, Yahoo Answers and sex dreams about Molly Shannon. Coming up next week we'll have Hunter Altman (Tony The Wonder Llama, Half-Man, Half-Pee). After that we'll Katy Dolle (The Scramble) and a ton of other super cool people doing super cool projects!

If you're looking for another horror movie to watch for Halloween, #Captured is on Amazon now. You can find it here: http://amzn.to/2z5HHmS

Episode Ten of Hey You Made It is here! That means we now officially have more episodes than Star Wars! Eat it, George Lucas!

Today's episode features Jonathan Blake, host and creator of The Calm Comedy Hour at The Clubhouse in Los Angeles. Jonathan is a Christian turned Buddhist who focuses on using breathing as a way to connect with the audience and reflect on the inner self while performing. He focuses on using the idea of "you're enough" while performing in a room with people. Jonathan's journey from studying religion to performing comedy and using it as a tool to better the world around him and bringing people together using laughter made for one heck of a great interview. We talk about breathing, comedy, spirituality, religion, the concept of self and getting propositioned for sex in a Bible study group.

Go to your closet and bust out your flannel coat and your pumpkin spice lattes, because Fall is here! And so is a new episode of Hey You Made It! The podcast where we ask the hard questions, like "Hey, why do you keep pumpkin spice lattes in your closet?"

Today's guest is Royce Shockley, producer and creator of The Color Collective, a monthly show at The Pack Theater that celebrates diversity. We talk about the state of comedy, the issue with reboots in the film industry, shitty scene partners in improv scenes and pizza. Royce is a good man and a better interviewer (jk he's equally amazing at both). LA Weekly even interviewed him! You can read that here: http://bit.ly/2fritU9. You can catch The Color Collective at their next show at The Pack Theater on Saturday, October 7th at 10pm.
