Impolite Company

It's Take Your Listener to Work Day on Impolite Coffee Break! Yale's back from his travels with stories about the UK comedy scene, a dispatch from the trenches of the local comedy competitions, and a brand new feature - an audio essay! All this plus the comedy rundown for the low low cost of free!

Sam and Kate trade stories of love, loss and laughs, and get into the gritty of what comedy, performance and art mean to each of them. Hit them up if you need an engagement ring, wedding dress or a breast pump. You can catch Sam at Helium Comedy Club 7/14, and Kate at Kingside After Dark (7/5), New Comic, Who Dis (7/11) and Impolite Company's WAL takeover at Southtown Pub(7.25).

7th Heaven is still perplexing. Netflix is still just putting out whatever the hell they want. And Sam is still talkin bout it. Come to Yours, Mine, and Ours Thursday at The Heavy Anchor, 8PM.

THIS IS NOT A SPORTS SHOW.

Except this week it is. Ron Finger joins Yale in the studio to let go of 96 combined years of angst about the St Louis Blues. We've got exultations, analysis, probing ethical questions and the formula for foolproof barbecue ribs. All this plus a loaded lineup of local comedy shows. As loaded as Brett Hull? Perhaps not, but damn close.

Chris makes the case for moving New Year's Day to the summer.  He rants about a lot of stuff. The late night crowd at his show this weekend hated him, which was awesome.  One more call for a revolution.

You thought the Blues winning the Stanley Cup was special, but the real miracle will be if Sam acts like an adult and goes to the dentist for his toothache. Tune in for the second part of that lost nonsensical interview with Lucas Hinderliter, complete with a No Limit Records dining experience.

Chris is on the road today, so there's not a regular episode.  He did fire up the ol' remote studio (a.k.a. The Samsung Galaxy S 8) and give you his two favorite street jokes in observance of Comedy Contest Season!

Take a trip back in time to 2 months ago, and listen to Sam and fellow comic Lucas Hinderliter discuss their comedy and their youth. See Sam at Westport Plaza tonight as the preliminary rounds of the Funny Bone Comedy Competition continue, and catch him at Southtown Pub for We Are Live's Free Comedy.

As he does each June, Yale shares Tom Junod's humorous, poignant and - yes - useful story "My Father's Fashion Tips" via a quasi-dramatic reading. Bask in its magnificence and let it carry you through the next two weeks, which is our way of saying Yale won't have a show next week. The comedy rundown is also here with plenty of suggestions as to how to spend your idle time in wake of next week's vacancy.

Your Podcast Dad(TM) takes some time out to chat about all the great things going on in St. Louis comedy and explains/atones for the reason why last week's show was scrapped. A new feature makes its magnificent debut and we close with the weekly independent comedy roundup.
