Fresh off the East Coast stretch of his ‘Here To Pee’ 50-state Tour, Ren Q is back in Colorado! He joins us in our new Top Shelf Studios Hilltop (still the same ‘ol playground for imperfection) to talk about how his time traveling the United States has made him more patriotic & hopeful in the spirit of America.  All while at the exact moment, the LGBTQA+ community is feeling like those in the highest offices of power are saying “We hate you.”

Follow him on social @renqcomedy & @heretopee — HereToPee.com for the upcoming tour dates!

We circle back to our first episode, where Ren met a much younger Maggie (just a baby!), who we had recently brought home from a Cracker Barrel in Pueblo.  Ren, being the thoughtful soul he is, journeyed out of his way to stop at the first ever Cracker Barrel to bring us back a gift for our studios: a Dolly Parton Lodge Mini Pancake griddle.  Magnificent. 

Ren tells me about the spectacular hospitality he has encountered in each place he has traveled, the warm-hearted nature of truckers across our highways, and we joke about bad pride-month corporate branding.  We hear about his shows in Plymouth, MA, one of the gayest places in the U.S., which leads us down a ChatGPT rabbit hole wondering why Tel Aviv is over 25% LBGTQIA+.  It’s a fun ride, per usual.

Don’t ask too many questions.  Just listen & enjoy.

Change is good for the soul (or so we’re told).  It’s our first episode in our new studio!

We welcome back a couple of our favorite guests from our time at our last studio, TSS Universidad.  Two hilarious dudes who can navigate a conversation that could truly go anywhere — Grayson Garcia & Jeff Morris!  

Follow them on Instagram @Grayson_Garcia & @Jeff_Dingus_Morris to see their upcoming stand-up dates!

Who better to talk about this week’s news, folks?!  From cat-fighting-in-white-house between Trump & Musk, to hobby horsing and whatever else Jeff is hiding in that algorithm of his, to a deep discussion on the overt sexualization of animated animal characters in popular culture. 

We’re talking to you Lola Bunny!  Oh, and don’t think you can hide Ms. Green M&M behind you..

We can see those hips from the front!!

It’s Jeff, a man who desires a job where he can fail constantly and continue to be paid, and Greyson, whose dog's birthday we celebrated, and still the only guest to educate me on Yakuba. The dude who “created the white race” according to the Nation of Islam.

Our guest is Denver-based stand-up comic Emily Cornelius. 

Go see Emily compete on Comedy Works 25th annual New Faces contest this upcoming Wednesday June 11th — Follow her @emilyiscorny on Instagram 

I hope I don’t speak out of turn here, but Emily is the kind of guest that, in retrospect, I should have just gotten riled up about young men losing their lives to sports betting & stepped the frick out of her way.  She’s got this covered without my bullshit interjections.  How do I know?

We easily navigated from pontificating on pope smoke, to how the hell the government allows old people to get their pilots license at age 90, to her multiple publications ranging in topic matter from NFTs to Southwest Airlines screwing passengers — Emily brings a fun flair to what some of us have unfortunately come to see as merely a cold, desolate, ever-crumbling hell-scape.  

She thinks that men are capable of great things, but aren’t.. well.. Doing them..?

Emily knows the stuff we don’t. Fun stuff, like racially-questionable American Girl Doll lore & what could become my newest obsession, a show called: ‘Pimp My Truck’ 

Need I say more? Eat up. 

Uncut EATIN’ episode featuring Emily “licking her fingers medically” available to our ever-loving supporters at Patreon.com/InTALLerable — I promise this one alone is worth joining the First-Run tier & helping us keep the show ad-free while feeding delicious smoked meats to future guests at Top Shelf. 

Oh.. I almost forgot. This was our final episode in Top Shelf Studios Universidad. 

All good things must come to an end. 

Whether you’ve been with us for a while or this is your first time, thank you. 

We feel fortunate to go out with a hilarious new guest, and look forward to what’s on the horizon for us.

Our guest is Denver stand-up comic, Trey Marchant.  He is hotly contesting for best-looking guest of 2025.  Follow him on Instagram @TreyMarchantComedy & go to his monthly show! 

Trey read the calendar invite & came bearing gifts for Top Shelf.  He has bestowed upon us an all time gift, folks.  We might have to mess around and change it to Tippy-Top Shelf Studios after receiving this gem.  Perhaps the garage sale find of this millennium  —  a vintage Chairman Mao coaster set  —  featuring the ever-elusive & hyper-rare ‘Laughing Sunset Mao’  (oooooooooo)

Government scepticism?  We got into it much earlier than Trey Marchant anticipated.  

Ya know.. light conversation topics!  

When did democracy die?  When did our leadership & elections (seem to) become witholden to the intelligence state, does crafting public policy mean making it for the bottom quartile of bad decision makers, and how do we all operate within a much larger system of globally recycled debt???  Like we said.  Light conversation topics.   

Trey shares how some recent chaos prevented him from doing what he really wants to do: play Oblivion.  I won’t spoil it for you, but trusting the AI overview while cleaning his basement bathroom led to him accidentally creating mustard gas.  The real loss here is the lost hours that could’ve been spent grinding Oblivion.  Pour one out. 

P.S. Who the hell does all of humanity owe this debt to?

You’ve come for a special one, folks.  We have an old-timey reunion on our hands as three  Monarch High School Debaters clash again, this time in Denver's newest thunderdome for intellectual warfare — Top Shelf Studios.  

(announcer voice)

In the Red Conor..  He was displaced by the Marshall Fire & after six months living in a hotel room with both his parents — he packed his belongings & left for the West Bank, where he spent several months teaching English —  Conor Farrell!

And..  In the Blue Connor..  An extra ‘N’ in his name, a newly-minted-member of liberal elite (he wishes). Let’s be honest — we’re all just hoping he can get us that plus-1 ticket onto the end-of-days megacraft when the time comes —  Connor Moore!

(end announcer voice)

These two are way over my head with their historical dialectics, their contentions of contemporary normative theory lacking in the modern political landscape, blah, blah, BLAH!! 

My gosh.  Jokes aside, they educate me about modern conflicts & historical pretense.  I felt smarter hearing their perspectives on power & where the global political landscape may go next. 

I could barely keep up on this one with these intellectuals and their extended metaphors of prisms, light, grasses, & fences — but ain’t those lines just too beautiful not to look?! And ain’t that rainbow stunning?!

Stop and smell the roses that are the minds of Conor & Connor.  Cheers.

Grayson Heath is a returning guest, who told me: “Not much has changed.” Since his last appearance.  Huh.  Odd.  I’d venture to guess that our lovely ‘assistance to the production extraordinaire,’ his wife & older sister to Chris/Klube, our beloved man behind the camera, miiiight have a thing or two to say about that (*see Polaroid of her right jab)

We talked about the financial stress of getting married & how the hell to pull off having a wedding in 2025.  I get pressed by my guests about why I don’t have any “podcast stuff” on my wedding registry, and (of course) we ramble on about how all four of us have watched incompetent fraudsters rotate between positions of power for our entire lives. 

Grayson provides us with some “straight ball analyzation” regarding the Denver Nuggets firing head coach Michael Malone, and we wonder why Joker doesn’t fit the NBA narrative while getting Chris up to speed on the artistic celebration antics of one Ja Morant.  Him nor I will be hearing from haters at this time. 

What can I say?  I’m a grapefruit guy.

John Henry Wilson is the host of ‘Mania & Melancholy’.  He is a stand-up comedian from Denver. He is also a white man.  Needless to say, John manifested his destiny all the way into colonizing Top Shelf Studios for his own.  He has taken our producer Chris & InTALLerable’s host, Sean, as his spoils of victory.  Some say the sun never sets on John’s Pod-Empire..

Follow John on Insta @John_Henry_Wilson — See his monthly stand-up show at Longtable Brewing monthly on the Last Thursday — Check out his podcast: ‘Mania & Melancholy’ 

We revisit dating in Denver, and hear about John’s recent coffee date where he asked a nice young lady, “Well, what do you like about running?”  We debate the rising costs of dating services and wonder if paying for the apps would drive any potential partners for John away from casting all their swipe “votes” on only the top 10% of men on the apps.  

EATIN’ w/ John & more bonus episodes available — Patreon.com/InTALLerable

Thank you!

The Tallest thanks to John for being himself. I think that he is hilarious & weird — which the world always needs more of floating around. Grateful he came back on our silly show (& took it as his own).

Grayson Garcia is a Denver-based stand-up comic, who is just as kind & down to Earth, as he is hilarious & thought-provoking.  Think the Bay-area meets the Midwest.  Learn a little about his life growing up and it all makes sense!  Grayson was born in the Bay & became accustomed to lots of different cultures at a very young age, before his family moved to the central valley when he was in elementary school.  So not a child of the corn, per say, but certainly an adolescent of the almond grove.  Now we’re cooking with seed-milk — come on, folks!

Follow Grayson on Instagram @Grayson_Gracia & check out his upcoming stand-up dates!

We discussed our first memories, being a good host (even as a man in your 20’s), how he began performing stand-up in college, and we learned that Grayson is half-mexican, and half-forklift-operator-certified.  Shouts out dad.  Set your retention limits to high, open up that short-term-memory storage, and strap in for another great one with an even greater guest. 

Due to our technical failures on this episode, we are releasing the FULL & UNCUT version of this episode for all to enjoy — featuring Sean & Grayson’s EATIN’ segment! 

This is a taste of what our Patreon supporters access, but for the masses.  

Here’s your cake, now eat it too! — Lest it be ‘yer own foible.

Our guest is Denver-based stand-up comedian, Jack Comstock.  He is here to finally utilize his college degree & educate our listeners in everything and anything, general.  It’s his specialty, the generality. 

Follow Jack on Instagram @HackComstock & go see him perform around the country!

Jack teaches us about the challenges & triumphs of moving from Omaha to New York City to chase his dream & perform stand-up multiple times each night, instead of a few times each week.  He likes the big city vibe of feeling alone mentally, but never being alone physically.  We discussed the plague of large events in the city, avoiding tourists at all costs, and making a game out of crossing the street during the NYC marathon. 

From hosting open mics, to staying in his fantasy baseball league just to keep up with his buddies & lose another $60 annually, to realizing their group was a “target” walking at night around the street while tripping (& talking about it) — Jack is a guest that is good ‘till the last drop.  Make it deep enough in this one for Jack’s face to get red, as he breaks into a full rant about Denver drivers’ incompetence.  Bad drivers are intolerable.  THIS is InTALLerable.

Billy Anderson is a stand-up comedian who recently joined the Denver stand-up scene, moving from LA by way of Seattle, after years of running shows & crushing crowds in their scene.  He is a blue-collar liberal, has an awesome DryBar comedy special, & is the host and creator of — ‘The Gateway Show’ — where comics tell some jokes, get high, and then do more jokes while high.

Follow Billy Anderson @WhyNotBillyTho on Instagram & check out his website — BillyAnderson.com — for his upcoming dates!

We discussed Billy’s life growing up in Georgia, the stark class divide in Augusta, and how Billy went from being an honors student in 9th grade to eventually dropping out of high school.  Honestly, if 9/11 destroyed my worldview & turned me into a black-pilled nihilistic teenager like it did for Billy..?  I can say confidently that I would not have done even a quarter with my life, what Billy has with his. 

Nu-Metal, synthetic meats, being raised catholic, how Billy became a veteran of the high-volume call center, and how he left the call-center role in the coolest way possible, after his employer forgot to lock him out of his work email — whoops!  I assure you this is an episode you can dig your listening teeth into.  Plenty of meat on this bone!  Including some “sausage-making” comedy stories featuring names you might know, like younger Hans Kim in the Seattle scene & how Billy built a new format/competition that Hans proceeded to win (as Billy predicted). 

Thankful to break bread over smoked meats & great conversation with Billy!  I am even more thankful Denver has Billy as a part of our scene.
