The Comedian Next Door
First, let's talk about making cake for no reason... And,we need a short word-study, because the word "bi-weekly" has too many definitions. Next: John has been watching lots of videos of sermons from Charismatic preachers. This false doctrine happens to be...
Well, Neighbor, it has been TOO LONG since we talked about disc golf! Go get yourself some discs, so you don't have to be left out of the recurring conversation. Next: We're going to answer all your questions about how to...
Hey, Neighbor! Papa John's is selling a pizza featuring crispy "cuppy-roni." This is worth mentioning at LEAST a few times this episode... Next: there has been a little bit on controversy in the Fight Laugh Feast network. (But, really, what else is...
Hey, neighbor! The Peaches and The Ninja have been together longer than they were "single." They've gone by many names over the years... But why does Uncle David call John "Scooter?" (Settle in, while Scooter unloads his coffee-related trauma.) Then: HAPPY TRANS...
It's basketball season, Neighbor, and our NCAA bracket is looking sad! But legend has it, the Branyan kids once predicted all four of the Final Four teams and won enough money for John to retire for about two hours. Also, there...
If you're tuning in for this episode, you will be among the first to sample The Podcast Ninja's new Outgoing Personality! (Tell us if you think he's not being "serious" enough.) We tackle other questions like: should men wear a suit...
Welcome to the table, Pkarlgh. Our family participated in a huge fundraiser for our local Christian school--and we were very encouraged! Many hands make for light work... It's great to be part of a functioning community! Then: If you're hearing us...
Hi, Neighbor! John and Luke called an "audible" at church last week and switched up the communion prep system. Who's going to be mad about that? (Well, some people might.) If you start taking responsibility and making decisions then you will...
Hey, Neighbor! We thought we uploaded this episode ON TIME, but technical difficulties occurred...Better late than never!
It's snowy in Indiana--but the Peaches broke a power pole back when the roads were basically clear. Luke did a show with Dave Dugan, and John did a show in Wisconsin (Wa-Keh-Shaw). Were these "good" events or "bad" ones? It totally...
Hey, Neighbor, we're recording on Superbowl Sunday... not to be confused with Tuesdays with Taylor... (By the way, are you the Master of your own Sea?) Then: Not only do Christians like to identify as "Sinners," but we like to sanitize the...
We have an extra guest at the table today, Neighbor! Also, John's sons-in-law created a video game character who is almost indescribably ugly. But we try anyway. Either way--let's get down to business... Transformers and electronic tablets are for Christians/Saints--not for Sinners. Boy,...
Hey, Neighbor. Our beloved YouTube show, Starving Comics, is coming to an end. (Or, it has already come to an end--since you're listening after the end.) We hope you're thoroughly confused. Or at least angry. If you're sad, we can definitely...
We are pretty cold over here, Neighbor! Wrap up in your fleece blanket, and you'll fit right in...Luke wants to talk about CHURCH DISCIPLINE today. Let's see if this topic is as controversial as the last one he picked... Plus,...
Welcome to the table, Neighbor! The kids are playing in the background, and the PodNinja is feeling more talkative than usual... To kick things off, John shares why he hopes he gets invited to host the Golden Globes. Next: he Church...
Hey, Neighbor! The Podcast Ninja had a run-in with a power tool that might leave you feeling a bit light headed. Then, John shares his New Year's Message for young people... don't promise stuff if you don't really mean it. Words matter, and...
Hey, Neighbor! This episode was supposed to air on Christmas Day... but OOPS! Enjoy this late gift, from us. --The Comedian's Family
Hey, Neighbor. This is PART TWO of the conversation with Juan DeVevo regarding the parable of the sower. (You know, some people are going to reject the Gospel no matter how we present it. So what do we make of that...
We're puzzling at the table today! John hurt himself AGAIN. (No surprise.) And we have some news we have been (unintentionally) keeping from you, Neighbor, but the Peaches is too sick to share... Later: John was un-invited from a show for...
The Comedian (John Branyan) and the Musician (Juan DeVevo) are at it again. Do you ever hurt yourself while doing manly things?... The two swap stories about injuries, going all the way back to elementary school! Then, MEMES! Let's recap the happenings...
Welcome to the kitchen table, Neighbor! First: We discuss what has come to be labeled "Spanking Gate." The Peaches was encouraged to hear the Wilson's response to all the controversy. Their Family Interventions sound very similar in seriousness to the Branyan...
Hello, Neighbor. We apologize for any unseriousness you've gotten from our podcast in the past. We do our best to be VERY serious in this episode... Recently there have been several emails (and a text message!) asking for more in-depth advice about...
Here we are again, Neighbor... We're still causing a bit of a stir with our belief that it's difficult to talk about timelines when dealing with the creative behavior of a Timeless God. Is it unChristian to study theoretical physics and...
Hi, Neighbor! We want to apologize for the quality of our last episode. It was actually a GREAT conversation, if you were able to decipher it. Today, let's talk a little more about creation! In essentials, unity. In opinions, liberty. And...
This episode was recorded over video chat, and that's why it sounds like we're interrupting each other constantly. (Particularly the audio tracks for Juan and Peaches seem to have gotten smashed together during the recording, rather than a nice, smooth,...
Hey, Neighbor! We have a great idea for a scavenger hunt! For years, we've prided ourselves on being the Most Obscure and Hard-To-Find podcast on the internet. The FLF app is now called "PubTV." Sorry we didn't tell you sooner. ...
This episode of the Comedian Next Door was recorded LIVE with the Starving Comics Quarantine Show audience on October 1st, 2023. Welcome to the "Afert Party." We opened the line to viewer questions and ended up discussing the impact of...
We're ready for our ratings to SOAR now that we're incorporating some FIGHTING. Jump into the boxing ring with us today, Neighbor! Send us an email to let us know if you need some more controversy, or if you want us...
Hey, Neighbor! Give us a second to plug in Luke's mic... Today we're talking about popular Relationship Gurus on TikTok--specifically "Jimmy on Relationships," who has amassed a huge following from Divorced (or soon-to-be-divorced) women. What does it take to become a...
Welcome to the "Afert Party" on the Starving Comics show. (No. We didn't spell that wrong. It's the AFERT Party.) It's usually only available to John Branyan Clique Members, but this is a sneek peek because we didn't record a...
Hey, Neighbor! Welcome to the kitchen table of the Comedian Next Door, hosted by the Fight Laugh Feast Network. We need to solve the Cone Palace Problem. Since this is a community-wide issue with far-reaching consequences, you already know exactly what...
Welcome to the table, Neighbor. When you're listening to this podcast, we call you "Pkarlgh." On this FIRST episode of 2023, The Comedian (John Branyan) interviews Jason Farley! You've heard him on Knox Unplugged and CrossPolitic. Deconstruction. What is it? Why...
Hi, Neighbor! It's The Comedian (John), The Peaches (Amanda), and The Ninja (Luke). Don't take it personally that Luke would rather be out building a shed than sitting here talking with us... John is a little sour today because he wasn't...
Hi, Neighbor Pkarlgh! Please don't mind the poor audio quality. We are rebroadcasting some of our very first podcasts EVER. (Today's episode was first published in the fall of 2016, when Emmi was a wee nursling.) Let us tell you about...
We're continuing the Throwback posts. This episode was first broadcast in September of 2016--on the day of Tabby's wedding! What's it like celebrating a special occassion in the Comedian's household? (Well, there's a lot of activity and overlapping conversation.) Come with...
Luke has just finished a Ghost Pepper Chicken Sandwich, and the McBabies are pretty noisy in the kitchen! (It's happy sounds, Neighbor Carl. Don't worry.) Some kids need company when they're doing chores, as a reminder to stay focused. But...not...
Welcome, Neighbor! We're continuing our rebroadcast of John's first podcast episodes, ever. This is the Comedy Sojourn Episode #2, originally published in September 2016. Please forgive the audio issues. We were rubes back then... (Not like now--because these days we...
This is an extended episode because we have a lot to say about manipulative non-believers who take advantage of the "nice" Christians... But first, we chat for about Grandma Turbo's upcoming nuptials, yard work, and taking responsibility. Later: -"Kind" and "intelligent" and "friendly"...
Hi, Neighbor! It's nearly December, and things are hectic around here. So, we're REPOSTING the very first podcast episodes we ever published! These were the days long before we joined the Fight Laugh Feast Network--when we sat around a tiny, hand-held...
The Comedian, John Branyan, sits down with the Casting Crowns Musician, Juan DeVevo, to discuss the culture through the lens of memes. We apologize for the late release of this episode. Points of interest: -God doesn't need us to defend Him from the...
The intro is fake news. John isn't at the kitchen table--and The Peaches isn't co-hosting. David Pendleton is a long time friend of the family and a gifted ventriloquist. (That's the type of skill that translates well in an audio-only podcast,...
Welcome to the CAMP GROUD of the Comedian Next Door. We're gathered around a table with our Vacay Friends, talking about our weekend retreat. It wasn't all smooth sailing, Neighbor. We won't give spoilers in this description. But--we've been through some...
Every Sunday at 7:00pm Eastern, you should be hanging out LIVE with your comedian friends. If you're NOT watching the Starving Comics Quarantine Show each week, then please send your excuses to [email protected]. Here's a sample of what you're missing! Comedian...
Welcome, Neighbor! Around here, November means BURNING STUFF! But how does Doug Wilson get away from that fire at JUST the right moment?! Let's chat about Devil Magic for a little bit... NEXT: We like the idea of staring a new advice...
The Comedian, John Branyan, and the Musician, Juan DeVevo of Casting Crowns, are taking a look at some popular memes. Christians keep trying to be "neutral" and to find common ground with unbelievers. But it's not "neutral" to be a Moderate....
Welcome to the party, Neighbor! Our own Andrew Branyan turned 24 this week. He's the youngest child of the John Branyan family, and the whole gang jumps in to tell our favorite stories! (Legends, really.) First off--we're becoming kind of notorious...
There are a LOT of people at the house today. If you've been wanting more insight on the Branyan/McKinney/Farkas family dynamics, here's your chance to listen to us chatter in our natural environment: a bit of chaos. On this episode: John,...
Welcome to the kitchen table of the Comedian Next Door! You're here with the Comedian (John Branyan), the Podcast Ninja (Luke McKinney), and the Peaches (Amanda McKinney) to explore the strange place that is Luke's mind... Here's a soundbite featuring a...
Broadcasting from John's house--but the Peaches forgot to pack the headphones. So, we can't hear anything we're producing. Hopefully it sounds okay. John just got back from doing a comedy show for less than 30 people. This leads us to discuss...
If you're not tuning in LIVE to watch the Starving Comics' Quarantine show every Sunday at 7:00pm Eastern, then you're not living up to your full potential. Here's a sample of what you're missing! Comedian John Branyan plays ridiculous trivia games,...
