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!

Special Guest: Ben Giles of Laughable Productions

This week, Dean and Ka$h are joined by comedian and producer Ben Giles for a packed episode full of comedy, current events, and the usual off-the-rails conversations.

We talk about Oshkosh’s Funniest as Round 3 approaches on July 17th (tomorrow), the Laughable Productions Old Fashioned Bus Supper Club Tour, and Dean recaps performing at a cannabis-friendly venue.

Ka$h shares what it’s like playing blind hockey and dives into a conversation about recycling, hypocrisy, and why common sense seems to be disappearing.

Dean also brings up some of the latest alleged Mandela Effects that have surfaced online—including a certain candy bar from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and the mysterious “new” spelling of a famous chicken restaurant. What starts as a simple discussion quickly turns into one of the funniest tangents of the episode as Ka$h somehow breaks down every Wonka Bar Charlie Bucket receives throughout the original film.

Dean also offers a message to comedy bookers about respecting the talent they hire, we announce Gorilla Mind’s new GNC-exclusive Candy Apple flavor, discuss EAA AirVenture taking over Oshkosh, and react to Conor McGregor reportedly receiving a massive $15 million payout for a knee injury.

Comedy, opinions, laughs, conspiracy theories, and a few hot takes—you know the drill.

This week, KA$H kicks things off in a bit cooler studio which is a huge relief.

We also talk about:
David Vox Mullen’s audiobook Go Book Yourself (highly recommended!)

KA$H’s legendary Pot Pie Theory and the importance of proper plate alignment.

Why is it always so hot in the studio?!

Upcoming comedy shows featuring Dean, KA$H, and Stan at the Vaudette.

Only 4 episodes left in Season 4 before we launch into season 5!

We wrap things up with a comedy reminder every comic needs to hear: If stand-up isn’t fun anymore… why are you doing it?

As always, it’s comedy, random rabbit holes, questionable life advice, and plenty of laughs.

It’s HOT in the studio, and apparently our brains melted right along with the weather.

This episode of Move the Mic Stand gets heated as Dean and Ka$h Money Karl bounce between comedy, road stories, food debates, and upcoming shows.

This week we talk about Gorilla Mind orders (and why Fruit Punch may be the move), Dean shares a comedy tip on handling emails professionally as a booker, and we discuss upcoming appearances at The Big Cheese Laugh Off (July 2nd and 3rd) and the Vaudette (July 15th).

We also dive into Fourth of July plans, the brutal heat wave, and Dean’s Iowa comedy trip.

Of course, no episode would be complete without revisiting the legendary bathroom attendant saga, debating butter-dipped ice cream with sea salt, and asking the important question nobody requested: Would you eat an overstuffed chocolate-covered ravioli covered in sprinkles?

Grab a cold drink, crank on that A/C, and turn up the volume for another episode of Move the Mic Stand!

This week on Move the Mic Stand Comedy Podcast, Ka$h kicks things off while the boys discuss the bizarre North of the Bayou show where Dean may have been heckled by a switchboard.

The conversation bounces from Father’s Day surprises to the internet’s ability to spoil House of the Dragon in record time. They discuss upcoming comedy dates, and the questionable decision to eat six raw oysters right before taking the stage.

Plus now we know about snake movement styles, and Dean finally gets revenge on Ka$h for the trouble he has caused.

Upcoming shows, comedy stories, food choices that may or may not have been wise, and plenty of laughs on this week’s Move the Mic Stand.

Special Guest: Jay Lemke

This week on Move the Mic Stand, Dean and Ka$h welcome comedian Jay Lemke to the studio for a hilarious episode that also features the podcast’s first-ever live studio audience member! (Granted, she came with Jay, but history is history.)

KA$H finally gets to try Gorilla Mind Tiger’s Blood and tells about Sheriff KA$H riding into town not once but twice, and he shares some stories from his Arkansas adventures.

The guys also discuss a recent controversy involving some promotional flyers Dean created. When someone dismissed them as “AI slop,” Dean was quick to clarify: “No, I made those. That’s Human Slop.”

Other topics include:

• The story behind Dean’s pre-show Sewage Storm Incident before heading to Eight10
• New treasures added to the studio collection
• The great Innie vs. Outie Belly Button Debate
• Alternative solutions for those without bidets

Lastly, Jay gives us a solid comedy tip for comics: if you’re not writing, at least be listening to yourself. Reviewing your own sets can be one of the fastest ways to improve.

We close out the show with a taste test the new Kwik Trip / Mountain Dew collab on Mountain Dew Dunkers. Do the Dew!

It’s another episode full of comedy, stories, questionable opinions, and proof that not all slop is created by artificial intelligence.
