After last week’s episode mysteriously broke and couldn’t be posted, Dean and KA$H were forced into an emergency riff episode. That lost episode may eventually surface as a bonus episode, but for now, we’re moving on!

This week, we’ve got a full show featuring special guest Justin Landry and plenty of questionable opinions.

Hittin’ Up the Food, Stan: Chicken Wings
Stan: Harold’s Chicken — cheep cheep
Justin: Bougey’s Bar & Grill — Brookfield, WI

Plus, we talk about the past Prairie Theater show, the Fish Fry Show and Dean/Stan’s experiences at Oshkosh’s Funniest. Dean may have been the People’s Champ with a resounding audience vote, but somehow still finished second overall. How does THAT happen?

Special Guest: Ben Giles of Laughable Productions

This week on Move the Mic Stand, the boys are back with another episode packed with comedy, food, questionable decisions, and the kind of conversations that probably shouldn’t be recorded without a camera crew present.

And speaking of cameras…

We have a professional camera crew in the 3 Seasons Studios.

That’s right. Move the Mic Stand has officially reached the point where an actual professional camera crew is coming into the studio to film us.

What started as a couple of comedians sitting around microphones has apparently evolved into a legitimate video production. Multiple cameras, professional equipment, and people whose actual job is to make us look like we know what we’re doing.

The question is whether professional cameras can make Dean, Ka$h and Stan look professional.

Probably not.

But we’re going to find out.

Dean opens the episode with the usual combination of observations, stories, and whatever else has been rattling around in his head since the last recording.

Ben Giles joins the show for another appearance, bringing his usual perspective, stories and comedy into the mix and to promote the upcoming finale to Oshkosh’s Funniest Comedy Competition.

Thank you, Beyoncé

Somehow Beyoncé makes her way into the conversation. As usual, there is probably a perfectly reasonable explanation for why we’re talking about her.

The guys get into some Gorilla Mind talk, because apparently we haven’t already consumed enough caffeine and questionable amounts of energy before sitting down to record.

Comedy Tip: Don’t Ask for Applause
Stan shares another comedy tip, this time focusing on one of the cardinal rules of performing comedy: Don’t ask the audience to applaud you.
If you have to ask for applause, you’ve already lost.

Hittin’ Up The Food Stan
Stan brings another food-related topic to the table, and this week it’s pizza.
Because there are few things more capable of starting an argument than asking people what makes a pizza actually good.

Money Talks 5
The Money Talks segment returns with more insightful money bits that only KA$H MONEY KARL can provide.

WTF — Watch This Film
This week’s WTF movie is The Ultimate Weapon.
Yes, THAT Ultimate Weapon.
Dean gives the movie a WTF rating of 2.0 WTFs, while the GWI rating comes in at 3.6.
Once again, we’re watching movies so you don’t have to. Unless you want to that is.

Pinball Play
This week’s pinball game is the classic that is, Comet. The first pinball to incorporate ramps and a MILLION point shot!

Limited-Time Oreo Flavor Tasting
The crew takes on a limited-time Oreo flavor in another food tasting segment.
Because apparently we have decided that putting random food into our mouths while recording is legitimate podcast content.

Oshkosh’s Funniest — The Finale Is Coming
The Oshkosh’s Funniest competition is heading toward its finale, and the competition is heating up.
We’ll talk about what’s happened so far, what’s coming next, and who is still standing when it all comes down to the final round.

Old Fashioned Supper Club Bus Tour Recap
The guys recap the Old Fashioned Supper Club bus tour, including the people, the experience and the drinks. It was a good Old Fashioned Time.

Upcoming Shows
September 11 — One Liner Madness, MadisonKa$h and Ben will be representing.
September 11–12 — Comedy at Passengers LoungeDean takes the stage.
September 18 — Comedy at Prairie Theater & Event CenterKa$h performs.
September 19 — Crowd Work Show, VaudetteDean, Ka$h, Ben, Stan, and Justin Landry take on the crowd-work show.

Happy Four Seasons of Move the Mic Stand, it’s the Season Four Finale!

Dean kicks things off with a review of Gorilla Mind’s new Candy Apple flavor and lets everyone know if it’s worth picking up.

The guys also unveil some of the brand-new recurring segments coming in Season 5, including Hitting Up the Food Stan, Financial Planning with Ka$h, Pinball Wizard, and Dean’s new movie segment, WTF – Watch This Film, where he’ll introduce listeners to some of the strangest movies ever made.

The crew also addresses the question everyone was asking after the last episode: Did Dean actually get himself in trouble? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Dean shares a comedy tip about why comics should never undersell themselves—even when the self-deprecating joke is true.

As always, expect laughs, questionable life advice, and absolutely no guarantees that anyone stays on topic. It’s a finale worth finale-ing.

Comedy Tip: Never Undersell Yourself!
