PodGis with Ava Val

Ava discusses pop singers in the 80's, the terrible acting by the VIP men in the first season of Squid Game, the trans character in season two of Squid Game and the discourse around trans people playing trans roles, Mr. Beast's new TV show, the first Sonic movie, and about posting her John Candy Award winning speech.

Ava discusses her recent visit to the Royal Ontario Museum, being called a 'person', the recent healthcare CEO shooter, the Great American Exceptionalism Bubble, the happiness index and the freedom index, dogs as compassion slaves and the philosophical question: "to be happy, or to be free?"

Welcome back to the podcast that is Wii for me and WiiU for you!

In this episode, Ava talks about a really funny sponsor she noticed at a local soccer match, a retelling of Phineas Gage (sorry if I've done it before!), her favourite Arnold Schwartzenegger line, her squeamishness limits, her dad's cold hands, and eventually she ends on a rant about the current state of American politics and the depressing trend of anti-intellectualism.

Ava, with DEEPEST apologies for the long absence from posting, begins the pod with a quick statement on her newfound Chappell Roan fandom, followed by a lengthy explanation including reflections on her recent experience at the San Francisco Comedy Competition, her neck agony, her upcoming facial feminization surgery (FFS) and the external justifications involved, a strong plug for her upcoming paid content, discusses looking back on ex partners, and signs off with a little hope for the future. Vote Harris!

Ava kickstarts this episode with a dive into the funniest mistranslation of a Motley Crue live performance, then discusses the emotional highs and lows of weddings, performing at the Toronto Blackout Anniversary, and experiencing full-circle progressive discrimination at roast battles.

In this episode, Ava updates listeners about her standup special post-analysis, then goes on to talk about the US work visa process, her verse on the hit single "Y'all Ain't Never Met a Cheese Like Me", other trans comedians encroaching vaguely on her own material, how Kobe Bryant stole her thunder on a death pact, when something 'ruins your childhood', and a silly rant about the video game "Marvel: Midnight Suns". See ya soon! Also make sure you check Ava's special SO BRAVE!

In this wondrous return to form, Ava repeatedly gets her thighs wet and dry as she discusses the dumbest story in the bible, flooding in Toronto, evil rich buttheads, the "I swear on my ___" phrase, a story of a man who came out of the closet after he'd died, and a story about one soul occupying two lumpy bodies.

Stay tuned for "Hannah Barbara Headlines"!

We've got a FIERY episode for you today! Ava comes out red hot and reminisces about Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, going to the dentist to freeze her face, the summer heat, a story about accidentally going commando, paying honest compliments, being the 'supporting character' in a viral video, getting the best most validating comment for a trans woman from a cis lady, and then ending on a super positive note about spreading kindness and giving compliments to strangers.

Ava is back after a brief hiatus to bring the funny to your a$$ for PRIDE MONTH!! Not only does she solve a longstanding lighting issue with flair, but she goes on to cover a range of topics, including: the dawn of Pride month, being a "PLUS" in the LGBT+, being competitive despite herself, doing standup for radio, good phone numbers that have rhythm, an announcement about the distant future, Patreon ideas, a recent horror film audition, "Douche Rehab", Red Shirt Guy, and a story about her lawyer making her accidentally racist.

Check out "Douche Rehab" online and don't forget "SO BRAVE" comes out on YouTube June 30th!!!
