Is This A Bit?

Fort Wayne comic JT makes his podcast debut! Julie & JT talk about crafting a callback, how the world is changing for racists, and why he’s not allowed to get a TikTok. JT is a writer on the upcoming CBS show Bob Hearts Abishola and a father of 12; and if neither of those things impress you, get it together, man. Follow him on IG @mr_marcus260.

Stacey workshops some hometown-inspired bits; Terra talks about her very recent, very first time onstage(!); Julie vents about her beef with Bill Burr; and a game of FMK is almost sure to get us all canceled. Is This A Bit? Check it out!

Julie and Detroit comic Jay Hunter become friends over drinks in this delightful, loose episode. The two chat about being real onstage; Julie retells one of Craig’s earliest jokes; Jay recounts shooting hoops with some of the funniest characters from the “hood”; and we even learn some comedy history. You would never guess that Jay is a military vet himself, of 2 branches no less! Stay tuned in the future for a bonus episode from this night, because boy they had fun and recorded a LOT.

Julie tells Martha of a new "achievement unlocked" in the field of upsetting a comedy-goer at a recent show; and the girls rank the bangability (and un-bangability) of animated kids' movie characters. Any gender (and species!) is fair game. [Disclaimer that these are simply Julie's and Martha's preferences, and disagreement from you the listener is welcome!!] I apologize for using the word "fuckable" and variations thereof so many times. NSFW!

On this episode Julie and her weird (genius?) friend Jeremy Arroyo workshop some terrible jokes, and at the end we hear Jeremy put them onstage! Also talked about is Jeremy’s upcoming celebrity episode of his podcast Dial Trolls – you won’t believe whose phone numbers he’s obtained!

Super fun mini-sode featuring Fort Wayne comedian and all-around goofball Isiah Gray, and funny friend Terra. Julie chats with these chuckleheads about turning pain into comedy, and what to do when you can't name a single one of your friend's jokes. Also this is the proudest Julie has ever been of an episode title. Follow the pod on instagram @isthisabitpod!

Julie catches us up on what’s going on in her household; comedians Jesse McIntire and Lynett Thomas come over late on a Tuesday night to talk comedy, awkward dates, and Hannibal’s eyes.

In Part 2 of this special double episode, Julie talks with Dyke and Thaddaeus about comedy while pregnant, tags that never work, and under what circumstances they would romance a corpse. The audio quality is to DIE for! - Check out Dyke’s podcasts “The Drunk Dial Podcast” and “Harder Brunch,” and Thaddaeus’s podcast “idk it.”

Holy fancy mics, Batman! Julie treks to Indianapolis to record with comedians/podcasters Dyke Michaels and Thaddaeus McKee!

Julie gets to know itinerant Indiana comic Griffin Sciarra and talk all about comedy! The two revisit a very early bit Julie did on a dark topic, dive into the "why" of groans, discuss Griffin's dad's receipts, and Julie forgets the difference between Crackers and Helium. The episode wraps with lots of gushing about which comedians' lives they would love to have!
