Marken My Words with Henry Marken

At long last, the drought is over (and just in the nick of time)... Marken my Words was blessed by a female guest and this one did NOT disappoint. This week I had the absolute pleasure of hosting the incredibly talented and widely versatile comedian, singer, songwriter, influencer Caroline Baniewicz. Don't know how we were able to pull this one off, but I can only imagine it's just downhill from here. We had SO much to talk about, which is why this is my longest podcast to date, and yet every second is fulfilling. You might even notice that halfway through the show, Caroline takes the reigns of the podcast and interviews ME, and she wasted no time in asking the blockbuster questions. I know, what a world. As if anyone asked for more information about my life.

Don't forget to give this podcast a good rating and subscribe (that is if you enjoyed what you listened to of course. If you didn't like it, you don't have to do anything. You can just live your life.)

I cackled like a fucking hyena for the majority of this episode (sorry listener). I brought on one of the most talented actors, comedians, and public figures in the media business that you never heard of, my lifelong best friend, Sterling Kassela. Ster and I broke down some of our past film and comedy work together, how it really feels to grow out a mustache at the office, as well as taking a quick yet painless ride through some of our most memorable high school moments as our school's "Rally Leaders." Don't worry, we aren't looking over our shoulder for better times... well, he isn't.

I'm going camping for a week and I wanted to get something out on the air and bless the masses with the charity goodness that is my voice, all before I headed off to the desolate wilderness. I didn't have any guests on this episode because I didn't want to have anyone get smoked and try to be the follow-up act guest to last week's episode, the absolutely electrifying (and my highest rated) episode with Duke Gomez. In this episode, I went over some fan mail that has been pilling up on my desk for the past couple weeks. It was a humbling experience. 

In my biggest episode to date, I brought on the legendary social media comedian and roasting champion Duke Gomez. This Jersey native comes in HOT with his takes on all things snapchat, pet peeves, psychopaths, and his vocal hatred for the underworld of social media influencing. We could have talked for hours had Zoom not given me the boot and asked me to upgrade to their premium and unlimited software. Oh well, an absolutely electrifying hour of your time will do. 

This week, I interviewed two media geniuses, Bobby and Toby, who also happen to be my coworkers from Total Frat Move. In addition to running all the company social channels, they also make up 2/3 of the hilarious three person TFM podcast "That Never Happened." In this terribly vulgar and incredibly enriching conversation, we broke down the only the basics: Social Media, Space Jam's Lola Bunny on Pornhub, and the plague that has come from the overuse of the phase, "Alright, bet." Fair warning, this episode is quite *NSFW*. 

Finegold was at a two-hour long dentist appointment (don't ask) so I had to wear multiple hats for this episode and put the team on my back. I brought on the network guru, Chase Peterson, the younger and better looking brother of Connor Peterson, a man I dragged through hell for one of my earlier podcasts. Chase is that animal in the animal kingdom that is homies with every creature. The dude literally knows everyone in L.A. and is connected with every influencer I can think of. Stay for the last few moments of the podcast, as we are joined by a very unique and honestly pretty famous guest.

I brought better-than-average normal person Jake Finegold back on to be a regular and reoccurring guest. In this episode we talked about my trip to Las Vegas, before pivoting into a discussion about how common it was for someone to just throw up during class in elementary school.

I brought back legendary guest Jake Finegold, but this time it wasn't an ambush. In fact, we had such a civil and dare I say 'educating' conversation, I might just have him return as a reoccurring guest. If I'm Conan O'Brien, he's my Andy Richter.

The premier of the second season airs with a bang. My return from the depths is glorious yet vile. In this episode, we break down the Mayweather and Jake Paul fight, LeBron James, and explore why the sport of Hockey may just be a figment of our imagination. I also reveal why the new style of this show makes my podcast very different from everything else out there... perhaps why it's worth putting your twitter fingers to good use and giving me that 5-star rating.

Total rebound from last week's dumpster fire, I brought in two amazing ladies from Southern California to talk shop with me this week. Molly is an Oregon Duck who can kill you with kindness... and kill you with her fists, as this yellow-belt Karate specialist-optimist-activist marked her words on my show, and had me convinced that she could run for office. Lily, on the other hand, is a fellow proud Hoosier at Indiana University, who once was on a reality TV show in Los Angeles called "SummerBreak". Here, Lily explained the truth about the not-so-glamorous genetic makeup of the entertainment world of LA and what it truly takes to make it on television.
