InTalksicated Podcast

On the heels of his comedy album recording, I welcome back the great and hilarious Matt Baker for his 3rd solo episode! In this super sized episode (with a couch cameo from Bryan Otter), we chat about recording his album, being back in Halifax, the importance of taking photos, his love of crowd work, keeping emotions at a healthy distance and his challenges with committing to things. We also get into: men who hate on astrology, post show feedback, booker etiquette, standing up for yourself as a comedian, the value of show up go up shows and the psychology of Roast battles.

PLUS: is Matt ever proud of himself? Are cat guys hot? What's the saddest thing Sarah will ever say? and a dramatic reading of the book Attached.

This week I'm chatting with Josh Poulain - a keen new comedian, hitting comedy hard in Halifax! Josh joins me, along with podcast audience members Mikhayla Lever and Jon Pickett, to talk about: our recent show together, old/young crowds, the advantages of hosting, becoming a very young father, his start in standup and first impressions of the scene and his love of useless knowledge. We also talk about his habit of hyperfixating on things that interest him (including tracking laughs in comedy specials), his thoughts on A-list comedy specials, why he doesn't have any comedy goals and more!

PLUS: What's his longest running prank? Does he regret any of his tattoos? What's the best pie? Will Mikhayla ever stop trolling him?and is Halifax comedy too safe?

This is an episode for the books! Returning to the podcast for a 3rd appearance is one of my favourite people and past guests, the lovable and hilarious Bryan Otter!

There's really no where we DON'T go on the podcast. There are stories, revelations and feelings. We dive into: disordered eating, existential dread, positivity as a coping mechanism, his fear of clowns, the loss the best cat in the world (RIP Science), our thoughts on what makes a close friends, what family means to us and why having 1000 hobbies is a distraction of bigger issues. We also chat about Bryan's recent breakthroughs with mental health including the importance of setting boundaries and learning to accept love (cheesy, but important), impacts of childhood on adult life and the value of therapy. PLUS: a sexy party boat break in, a teleporting mushroom trip and lots more "this one time" stories.

It's a bonus episode - because I've been slacking.

This week I chat about what's new with me, including the worst depression ever, Midnights and a road gig. Then I answer your burning questions from voicemails and the talk line form and get into: the most frustrating thing about standup, realizations about burnout, the importance of life experiences to inspire writing, separating the artist from the art and how to keep your cool around your crush.

Stay tuned until the end for some vague comments about the future of the show and a tease for an unconfirmed live show that may or may not happen.

This week I am chatting with an outstanding member of the Halifax comedy community - Jon Pickett! Jon has been doing standup for almost a whole year - and has also been involved in producing and is a former East Coast Roast Battle Champ. He joins me on the pod to talk about: getting into standup after a breakup, his experiences in comedy so far, work life vs. comedy life, depression and producing shows.

We also talk people pleasing, being too nice, sheeple, the lack of empathy towards service workers, sleep problems and his bad habit of avoiding self care. PLUS: Shroom sandwiches, soul crushing bombs (he hasn't had one, but I have!) and why the rich suck.

In my epic four-hour conversation with Ryan William in Ep. 242, I had to cut some things, but only for the sake of time! This week's episode is a good chunk of our conversation where get into all things polyamory. Ryan sheds light on the often misunderstood lifestyle, and we chat about: organizing relationships, “straight hate”, the evolution of sexuality over time, assumptions about polyamory, dating etiquette, the idea of monogamy, whether there is a hierarchy in poly situations, navigating jealousy and overcoming relationship challenges. We also chat about the importance and the practice of empathy, and the complicated things that go with it.

Is it possible for me to do shorter episodes? Turns out no!

This week I welcome a long awaited guest – great friend and hilarious comedian Ryan William! We got into it about: his comedic process and approach, our unique friendship origin story at a clothing optional party, kinks, social batteries, relationships, the concept of family and the current state of outrage culture in comedy, and the world. PLUS: taking things personally, toxic positivity, the need to be liked, dealing with negativity and embracing happiness (let’s bring YOLO back!). 

This podcast is longer than a feature film, so a chunk was cut and will be released next week as a part 2!
