Local Comic of the Week: Abe Auer

This week on Move the Mic Stand, Ka$h kicks things off while Dean rolls in (probably eating dinner at a completely unreasonable hour). The guys bounce from comedy discipline to absolute chaos in the most on-brand way possible.

We get into:

• A Gorilla Mind Root Beer flavor that may or may not have been taste-tested yet
• A comedy tip for newer comics: why “being new” doesn’t mean you get to ignore the rules
• Comic of the Week (you’ll have to listen to find out 👀)
• Dean’s late-night eating habits—problem or personality trait?
• The legendary Star Wars blue milk… worth it or just space nostalgia?
• A recap of the Mix N Rewind show and what went down
• The origin story of “The King of the North” (yes, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds)
• Sour candy debates featuring Barnett’s face-melting madness
• And the age-old Midwest question: is it “supper” or “dinner”… and why does it feel like a personality test?

Comedy, randomness, and just enough structure to pretend we planned this—tap in now.

🎤 New episodes weekly. Don’t forget to follow, share, and move your mic stand.

Comedy Tip: Learn the rules and etiquette of comedy.

Local Comic of the Week: Joey Thowless

Special Guest: Hayden Berg

This week things almost went off the rails before we even hit record—Karl was battling being under the weather and on the verge of losing his voice… so we called in reinforcement. Enter Hayden: Dean’s 19-year-old son, stepping in as the emergency backup guest (and low-key stealing the show).

Hayden brings a fresh perspective from growing up around comedy, including his biggest note for comics: bring more energy. Simple, but brutal. We also get into his current anime phase and the fact that he’s been hitting the gym—so if he starts critiquing your set AND your physique, just accept it.

Dean talks about getting back in the hosting saddle at the Bare Bones show after a long break, plus a classic “only in Wisconsin” moment involving a bald eagle casually hanging out in the road like it owns the place.

The crew also dives into:– The art (and chaos) of complaining on social media – This week’s Local Comedian spotlight – The surprisingly passionate “Save The Worms” discussion

It’s a mix of comedy, chaos, and just enough father-son dynamic to keep things interesting. Buckle up.

Local Comic of the Week: Craig Allan

Special Guest: Craig Allan

This week on Move the Mic Stand, Dean and Ka$h sit down with special guest Craig Allan for an episode that covers everything from comedy grind to straight-up survival mode.

Craig breaks down his “Craig’s Choice” — his personal top 5 must-know picks in comedy — and drops gems that comics at any level can actually use.

We spotlight our Local Comic of the Week, show love to the scene, and talk about what’s happening down at the Springfield Comedy Club in Missouri.

Somewhere along the way, things take a turn into Gorilla Mind, flooding chaos, and the questionable decision-making behind running Tough Mudders like grown adults trying to prove something to their inner 12-year-old.

It’s part comedy clinic, part Midwest storytelling, and part “why are we like this?” — just how we like it.

Local Comic of the Week: Eric Schwandt


This episode goes completely off the rails—in the best way possible as usual. It starts with Gorilla Mind and somehow turns into a debate about sarsaparilla, then spirals into comedy tips on what NOT to do on stage (seriously… stop yelling, stop being gross while people are eating, and chill with the questions).

Ka$h breaks down why April Fools Day might secretly be the ultimate hack comic detector, gives a shoutout to Comic of the Week Eric Schwandt, and dives into a very Wisconsin argument involving the Packers, Culver’s, and Menards.

There’s Americana art on tools, Easter activities, and whatever “The Big Garlic” is supposed to mean. Plus, a Wausau show recap, and somehow—because of creamed corn—we end up deep in cheese science, talking bacteria cultures and fermentation like a late-night Food Network episode.

Also… KA$H needs Dean’s help. For what? There’s a twist to the story so listen to get to the contents!

Comedy Tip: DON'T DO THAT!

Local Comic of the Week: Jordan Bain

This week on Move the Mic Stand, we’re all over the place—in the best way possible.

Dean breaks down a comedy tip on name dropping and how to actually use it without sounding like a tool. Then we dive into a review of Gorilla Mind’s Latte flavor (because caffeine = confidence, obviously).

We also take a trip to Frogtown with “Sam Hell,” revisit the cinematic masterpiece Deep Blue Seastarring LL Cool J, and spotlight our Local Comic of the Week: Jordan Bain.

Oh—and toddlers? Yeah… they’re basically tiny aliens. Speaking their own language, unpredictable, and low-key terrifying.

Bonus episode teaser: Maverick might be giving us a full recap of his Monster Jam experience… from what we’ve seen, the kid lived his best life.

Local Comic of the Week: Chuck Charles

Dean kicks things off with a real-world comedy tip—not all shows are created equal, so learn how to play the room instead of fighting it.

From there, it’s a ride through Gorilla Mind talk, shouting out Local Comic of the Week Chuck Charles, and a recap of the Golden Plated show.

The convo bounces into KA$H’s wild idea for a multi-POV movie before taking a hard nostalgic turn into Midwest bar culture with dart ball—sparked by a random tournament sign that turned into a full-on time machine.

We wrap with some gaming talk on Crimson Desert and get a little real with Dean opening up about sleep struggles and a literal heart reset.

Comedy, chaos, nostalgia, and just enough insight to keep you dangerous.

This episode goes completely off the rails—in the best way possible.

We kick things off with Dean talking about surviving the past weekends Snowmageddon… and somehow his nipples become part of the story.

From there, we briefly acknowledge St. Patrick’s Day before diving headfirst into some of the worst (best?) movies ever made, including The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot and Hell Comes to Frogtown (again)…has Kash watched it? Spoiler alert, he did not but added it to the top of his watchlist.

We also break down the chaos of aggressive kids’ ads which leads to Dean’s connections to Danny Go and Papa Joel, dive into T-Rex impressions as Kash reminisces about one of his favorite childhood toys, and talk upcoming shows.

Oh—and Gorilla Mind “Citrus Rain” gets a shoutout.

We wrap it all up with this episode’s comedy tip: Be Grateful—and Dean introduces his own version of “Live, Laugh, Love”:Move the Mic Stand. Make ’Em Laugh. Be Grateful.

This week on Move the Mic Stand, Dean and KA$H cover a wildly mixed bag of life experiences, minor grievances, and culinary chaos.

The guys review the Gorilla Mind Peach Mango flavor, which may or may not be the official drink of assembling treadmills you immediately regret buying. Then KA$H shares his frustrating encounter with the Best Buy ordering system, which proves technology still finds new ways to ruin your day.

KA$H also tells the story of a mysterious woman who opened with the phrase, “I’m a State Trooper… your headlight is out”

Other topics include:
Miss Oshkosh 2026

Why trucks insist you stay back 200 feet

The overuse of the word “brother”

Weekend grilling incidents involving chicken and venison ring bologna

Dean’s latest breakfast experiments with German pancakes and cinnamon sugar French toast custard

Plus this week’s Comedy Tip: Unfinished Bits — why sometimes the best joke is the one you haven’t figured out yet.

Expect food talk, road stories, tech frustrations, and the kind of random conversations that somehow make perfect sense… eventually.

If you’re within projectile range, and you are, you’re in our blast zone.

Stan Dabrowski stops by to join the fellas and they start things off by tasting the limited time KFC Jellybeans and it nearly takes down KA$H!

We then break down Danhausen’s WWE debut, and deliver a comedy tip that hits hard: Being prepared.

We also discuss:– The science of falling correctly– Gorilla Mind’s Rainbow Sherbet flavor– The new Running Man movie– Beard responsibilities (a public service announcement)

And a whole lot more!

This is an episode that fires in all directions.

This week on Move the Mic Stand… it’s all made from scratch.

Dean literally made biscuits from scratch (like a pioneer with WiFi), while KASH made a groundbreaking discovery in the world of Cinnamon Sugar Toast technology. Revolutionary stuff.

We break down:
The Gorilla Mind flavor of the week: Tropic Wave 🌊
Why Aldi’s always smells… the way it smells
The Winners Venue comedy show recap (KASH was on 👀)
Skyline Open Mic… which was “meh” for Dean but for Ka$h it was Ka$h Wednesday! 🤑🤑🤑
Dean potentially becoming a Facebook Fact Checker
Upcoming shows:
Feb 28 – Daily Social Dean headlining
March 3 – KASH & Dean judging/roasting a Kill Tony–style show

And we close it out with a comedy tip that every comic understands the hard way: Have you ever told a joke you instantly regretted?
Not just that — we dig into understanding what a joke is really about… because sometimes the laugh isn’t where you think it is.

Biscuits. Roast battles. Tropic Wave.

This episode is baked fresh.
