April 18, 2025Ep. 84: Improv Magic, ft. TORI & ROBERT
Ep. 84: Improv Magic, ft. TORI & ROBERT - Tori and Robert are students of improvisation and magic, and today they are seated at the kids' table with our regular JESTIES goofballs, to discuss a life built on illusion and adaptation. They bring some wacky true tales of unforgettable magical experiences and tough crowds at their shows.
First, they need us to explain what to expect on this podcast (hint: it involves Cleveland, and not the city).
Next, we get to hear stories of their magical partnership and marriage.
Of course, there's always input from the Jesties, who can relate to wacky audiences
Christopher Walken-here, has a say
What are those audience hecklers all about?
Stand-up experiences
Cleveland drops in for a bit, to make sure Alex isn't upset with him.
Kids in a family really want to see a magic show, but their Paw won't let them.
JEST IMPROV'S upcoming shows
Hear about Tori and Robert's podcast (The Jesties guested on it, once -- for the sake of cross pollination)

March 21, 2025Ep. 82: Power or Control? ft. ARIES Pt - 1
Aries seems confused by Power and Control. JESTIES try to explain. But everybody has a different idea.
Then, after the open, Aries takes his power and tries to control the convo. Starting with a guesstimate of all our ages, and a polite dance around the subject, we explore. That leads to...
Car dealership run by gnomes. The salesperson ceremoniously follows their religion when selling.
Aries tries to take things from various locations to use at home, and is surprised to learn people don't live where they work .-- then meets people who create their own schools so they can have more control.
Aries is apparently the straight half of a 2-person comedy duo, with "Escalante."
Are there layers of straightness? Apparently it has something to do with rapping burritos and eating onions.
Ballsy Bob, that guy at the circus who can guess very personal details about the patrons.
Fun Table talk tangents about random topics.
And so much more...
Thank you for listening.
