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.

Season 4 is officially here, and we’re coming in hot.

KA$H kicks things off and executive assistant Gurgle couldn’t wait to announce his presence, and then roll straight into what’s new — including the mysterious “seduction abduction” concept that absolutely needs explaining.

We talk comedy promotion and why taking audience pictures might be the most underrated marketing move in stand-up.

There’s some gorilla mind energy in this episode — less overthinking, more instinct, more action. Just talk about it. Just do it.

We recap KA$H’s show for the Lions Club in Lomira, shout out the show at Winners on the 20th for KA$H, and preview Dean’s upcoming show on the 28th.


Plus: New open mics at Appleton Beer Factory (Tuesdays at 7) and Plank Road Pub in Menasha (March 3rd), where Dean & KA$H will be critiquing and roasting live sets.

Oh — and yes, Afternoon Tea makes an appearance. Because of course it does.

New season. Bigger moves. Same mic stand.

It’s the finale of season 3 and the season ends with food, fun, and accidental growth.

Dean tries Gorilla Mind’s Red Gummy Fish flavor before the mics were hot, he just couldn’t wait for Ka$h and the show.

We taste-test a variety of Valentine’s Day candy hearts in preparation for Valentine’s Day, and discuss Bert Kreischer’s Netflix release, The Dark Crystal, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Turns out Elmo may have a questionable past.

KASH talks performing at Substance Anonymous, merch plans come up, and Dean attempts his mom’s eclair torte from memory alone.

We also break down being special guest speakers at Comedy College, which ties into our comedy tip on why taking a comedy class can sharpen your stand-up game.

Comedy Tip: Taking a Class

We hope you enjoyed the first three seasons of Move the Mic Stand and that you will tune in next week for the premiere of season 4.

This week Dean & Ka$h bounce all over the place—in the best way possible.

We kick things off by circling back to last week’s recording where we may have picked up an EVP that sounds suspiciously like “I love ham” (check out @deanbergcomedy on TikTok — first video 👀).

We also discover a trigger word for ads to play. Oops double the trouble this week.

Movies back in the day were much better than they are now, they came with collectibles!

Plus: podcasts popping up on Netflix now—including Pete Davidson and The Last Podcast on the Left—and what that might mean for comedy, podcasting, and streaming moving forward.

And, of course, a few other detours we won’t spoil here… you’ll just have to listen.

This week on Move the Mic Stand, we open our minds with Gorilla Mind (Blue Raspberry) and it’s so good it breaks this timeline.

We recap our show at Golden Plated, break down why ads have gotten aggressively intrusive (seriously—why can’t you like anything anymore?), and Kash explains why the show Mo having a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score makes absolutely no sense to him.

We also get into food like grown adults who refuse to mature: Kash and his wife’s Wagyu meatloaf, the elite grilled cheese we’d each create if given unlimited power, and why comfort food might be the only thing we trust anymore.

Plus, a comedy tip on how people are connected through like-mindedness and that everything has probably been done already in some way so you have to make it your own.

This episode isn’t contagious—but it might still leave a mark.

Dean recaps surviving Influenza Omega, and both hosts weigh in on the Gorilla Mind Bombsicle—flavor, effects, and whether it’s worth the hype. We get into Ka$h going fully shaved, unexpected Progresso soup drops, and Dean’s lingering regret over grade-school pull-ups that still live rent-free in his head.

We close things out with a comedy tip inspired by a strange show request—breaking down why bookers’ online appearances matter, what professionalism looks like on social media and websites, and how comics can protect themselves before saying yes to a gig.

This episode isn’t contagious… but it might save you from a bad booking.
