Not a Show

Live in front of a basement with two dogs, listen as Justin improvises through a bunch of pitches with the goal to not just make you chuckle but possibly come up with a golden idea and become a billionaire? Maybe get enough to buy a real microphone so he can stop recording on his phone while trapped at home? Who knows!

Give us a follow on Instagram @tigwpod or @justinborak for more information and we hope everyone is doing well out there!

This week, Justin is joined by Tom Hannigan (@tomhannigan104) to give you the advice show you definitely didn't ask for. Listen in as two very average guys, with very average lives give you advice with all of your personal and emotional problems (also, argue about pizza for a while).

The suggestion inspired some long form improv.

This Generation Latinx Bat episode features: Laurel Posakony, Leonardo Obregon, Thomas P Clune, Sara Savusa, Louie Cordon, and Adam Mengesha.

Justin is back with his bud, Keenan Odenkirk (@keenanodenkirk), to help him finally crack a case that has been confusing the minds of the Chicago improv community for years. Listen this week to this true crime thriller as Justin and Keenan end their career as comedians and become, THE HARDLY BOYS, Chicago's most unwanted brother detectives.

THE PITCH (Ep 1)

Hey y'all, Justin here! Unfortunately due to iO being on hiatus and everything going on we are not able to put out full length episodes but never to fear, Justin's mediocre comedy is here! For the time being, I'll be posting very short episodes pitching different pilots, talking about random things and maybe even trying my hand at jokes?! If you wanna help me in this endeavor or help the show continue to happen please subscribe, download, rate, and SHARE US WITH FRIENDS! DM us on Instagram (@tigwpod or @justinborak) if you would like to help me out with these short form episodes because I would love to collaborate with people, today I had the privedledge to work with one of the best lighting designers in the city of Pittsburgh (also my sister) Paige Borak, follow her on Instagram @paigeborak! Have a great day y'all, stay safe, practice social distancing, and...this is gonna work.

We cannot think of a more befitting first episode than this one! The actual audio and intro was lost at sea, so this is straight from the internal camera mic. Howard was sick and, apparently, we shot this in a podcast studio that had those old-timey cowboy double-hinged saloon doors. No cowboys or gunslingers were harmed during the production of this episode. Enjoy and please don’t forget to rate and review!
