WE HAVE 100 REGULAR EPISODES!!! THAT IS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF MY VOICE IN YOUR EARS AND GUESTS SURPRISING ME WITH STORIES OF GUESTS BEING HORRIBLE! We are grateful in a way we continually cannot express appropriately, so just know we are so, so glad. Thank you. We literally cannot do this without you. Look for a special drop in the next few days to celebrate.

Comic and actor Matt Braunger is with us to promote his special, "Doug" and discuss some insane work stories that we totally related to. It's another 2 parter!

Patreon is our life blood. We know you get this shit for free. Cool. You know it costs a ton to do, right? If you don't have the means to subscribe, how about you rate/review this bad boy? It helps a TON. Truly.  patreon.com/thekategaffney is how you REALLY help! Art is hard! Art is expensive! LA is a cess pool of money being stripped from us daily! Help!

This is a little bit after the start of 2023, but this is our MASSIVE gratitude episode for all of our guests and YOU, the Listener, for 2022. Y'all gave us SO much and we are really thrilled you went along on the ride with us.

Our Patrons are why you get to listen for free right now, so pop on over to patreon.com/thekategaffney to thank them for their service. They are all pretty amazing.

Happy holidays, everybody! Here is part 2 with the meanest person we know -Joanna Katcher. She is a composer for movies you know and love and also has an extensive history of making cooks love her. It is possible, despite her being a bully. Follow her on all of the things! @jkatcher

We're on patreon and you don't care because this is already free. That's cool. patreon.com/thekategaffney

Happy holidays, everybody! Joining us for another 2-parter is the lovely and hilarious Joanna Katcher. She is a composer for movies you know and love and also has an extensive history of making cooks love her. It is possible, despite her being a bully. Follow her on all of the things! @jkatcher

Back for part 2 this week, @thegraciesimmonds discusses the track marks on her arm and why she'd rather be an improviser over any other job. 

Oh, what's that? You're still wondering AND curious how you can actually support the show? Amazing! Our Patreon is found here and there are tiers as low as $5. We are thinking of locking up the podcast behind a paywall and making you donate blood to us, so it is getting serious, y'all. 

The lovely improviser, director and writer @thegraciesimmonds joins us this week to discuss her MYRIAD customer service jobs and how she was able to finally make the transition out to Los Angeles from our host's former state of residence, Missouri. Gracie does not hold back and it is a delight to get to know her even better.

Patreon is still a thing and why aren't y'all supporting us there? This is FREE and there is a $5 tier over there. Disney doesn't need more of your sheckles, but our host sure does. patreon.com/thekategaffney

Y'all don't read these show notes, but hi! Thank you all SO much for sending in questions. We had so much fun with this and we are so grateful for y'all. This came out on SiriusXM during Thanksgiving week, so that is why the heavy emphasis on gratitude, but it doesn't change. I am so grateful for all of you!

And to our Patreon patrons, you are the lifeblood of this show. We absolutely cannot afford to do this without you. Thank you.

So, after 3 long years, my 3rd interview ever was comic Mitch Burrow. It had sound issues at the time, so we re-recorded it in 2022 and, turns out, we had more sound issues again. Awesome. Zoom was not connecting well. Thank you for bearing with us and finding Mitch on all of the socials!

"Friday's - where dignity is not on the menu" is what I wanted to call this episode, but I was afraid of getting sued. The delightful 3 time Moth Story Slam Winner (whose original story is here) Kevin McGeehan joins us for two weeks in a row to discuss his rise from server in Chicago, to storyteller touring the country. He is amazing and we laugh a lot. Also - LA people - his solo show is in previews and it is going to be amazing, so look out for that.
