He’s country-ish, and we are city-ish but it didn’t stop us from talking good North Carolina BBQ.   We jumped into the good old days of Last Comic Standing, and thoughs on his good friend amd fellow LCS winner, Josh Blue kickin’ a*s on this season of America’s Got Talent.  To wrap it up we had to talk about the “dancing” incident and get to the bottom fo whats fact and fiction.  If you don’t know what we are referring to it has to do with the Carolina Panters, a mascot, and a handful of the men in blue.    You willhave to listen to get the full scoop.   A good time was had by all and against popular belief, a country boy can survive an hour with us.    Make sure to check out Jon’s website www.jonreep.com  for all his tour dates and info on his podcasts Country-ish and Heffron & Reep and everything else Hickory!

The Teeb joins us to talk everything.  Host of Punch Drunk Sports with Ari Shaffir & Sam Tripoli we covered a lot of sports ground including our mutual hatred of Notre Dame sports.    Not to give away the real nugget of the episode, but we had to cover the “bag of bets” and the absolute worst thing to come out of the bag, no pun intended.  I still feel bad for Josh Martin who was on the suckers end of the bag. Quite literally.    There are a lot of “firsts” on this episode.  I can’t even…..you just have to listen.   Instant classic.   Teebs is the bees knees!    Enjoy it….     Just follow him.. @jaysonthibault

Fitzdog hangs with us to kick back some nonalcoholic Manischewitz to ring in the Jewish New Year and talk some shop.  We have a spirited debate over which media giant helped launch more careers.  Fitz picked Ed Sullivan with The Beatles, and Alprin backed Howard Stern with Beetlejuice, Jeff the Drunk and A*s Napkin Ed.   You can decide for yourself.  We had a lot of fun with the host of Fitzdog Radio and Sunday Papers so if you are not listening to those, do this comedy newbie a favor and check them out (after you listen to this one) and hit up www.gregfitzsimmons.com for tour dates and everything else Fitzdog  @IG @gregfitzsimmons

T Shirt aficionado and host of the long running Ding Dong Show and fixture at The Comedy Store, Don Barris takes direct aim at Jon B for a laundry list of issues.  Starting with being late, an in and out wifi signal, and calling in from a 1997 Nokia flip phone.   It was an epic time spent busting Jon at every turn, talking about music, answering very tough “what if” questions and ultimately ending with Don proclaiming himself the best guest of all time, which we can’t argue with.

There wasn’t a dance off, but we still got to swing!  Fahim joins and it couldn’t be more timely with the recent US withdrawal from Afghanistan, and Fahim literally walking out of the writers room on United States of Al to talk with us.  We discussed writing on the show, the transition from being an aerospace engineer at Boeing to stand-up comic, and of course the parents who may finally be coming around to his career choices wrapping it all up in a bow with a mouthwatering rib eye prep talk.  Make sure to check out his Comedy Central Special “There’s No Business Like Show Business” , his podcast “Fahim Anwar Dance Hour” and follow him on Instagram @fahimanwar  Enjoy It!

This week Jason Collings joins us for the airing of grievances shared about the stupid people in airports and the fun and frustrations we have kicking their luggage.  We also circle back on how he got his start at 35 year old doing comedy, and the ballsy nature of how he landed his first spot.  Warning to aspiring comedians, don’t try this at home!   We wrapped it up talking about his very close friend Chris D’elia and how we all can’t wait until he gets back on stage.   
Jason hosts the hysterical podcast The Lions Den with Brent Morin and has his own YouTube show Mr. Jason Collings.   We recommend you check them both out!
