On this episode, we zoom chat with Nick Thiesen and Eric Paine about their podcast Finding Chemo. Nick has three types of cancer and he didn't like how dark and gloomy all the websites and podcast were about it so he decided to inject some comedy into his. Nick has always been a remarkably upbeat guy who we've known from his stand up act for decades now. I think you'll get some laughs and some inspiration form this.

Hey Facebook just notified Susan and Art that they've been friends for 18 years! I guess we both thought it was a little longer than that. Hmm. And then their site went down for most of the day. Coincidence? Maybe... Turns out they're in some hot water for using hate speech and divisiveness to help them get more clicks and make more money. Who knew?!  Also, Susan gets to talk about her recent visit with an expert in the field of alien research and Roswell.

After a few weeks of delightful younger comedians from Portland, Susan and Art decided to catch up a little bit with some stories of their September. A couple of gigs, a party and for one of them, a relaxing home spa...

Our guest this week is one of the most beloved Portland Comics working the scene.  Adam Pasi described himself as a former bad guy.  He certainly is not that guy now!  In 2019 Pasi won Helium's Funniest Person in Portland contest. He's one of those comics who is naturally funny. We loved chatting with him.  We hope you will to. Stop Me If I've Heard This!    Please like and subscribe.

Art & Susan welcome the delightful Becky Braunstein!  I was no surprise that Becky was a St John's Festival fave.  Successful actress, comedian, and illustrator Becky gives it her all no matter what the platform.  An Alaskan transplant to PDX, she exploded onto the scene and created the must see weekly show Becky with the Good Jokes. She's been seen on Netflix originals & Chad(TBS) and had a half hour comedy special on Unprotected Sets(Epix).

Dylan Jenkins is one of the hottest up and coming comedians in Portland right now. In addition to being a repeat finalist in Helium Funniest Person contest, Dylan his own Podcast North Of Failing. But Susan and Art know him originally through his father Robert who was one of the most successful comedians ever to come out of Portland back in the 80s and 90s before quitting stand up to be there for Dylan.

Susan and Art are doing a series of interviews with the comics that are carrying the torch of Portland comedy forward. This episode we are excited to talk to the amazing Amanda Arnold who we've watched grow from a fledgling open mike comic comedian ten years ago into a legit headliner comedian who is working and touring all the time. Amanda has some great stories about life on the road, a relative who lost his hand, and the sometimes supportive, sometimes competitive scene she's conquered. We know you'll get some good laughs.

Recap of the weekend. St John's Comedy Fest, Art's show at a haunted hotel, and his trip to the doctor for an enlarged prostate.

Susan's show at a sex club, Art picks blackberries, the upcoming St John's comedy festival, pumpkin seeds...we talk about anything and everything we could think of other than the Taliban, the wildfires, and the Covid variants because who needs more bad news right now?

Coming soon to a theater near you- more empty seats! Thanks to the anti vaxers, we're headed back to square one again. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to covid jail. Zoom meetings, masks in stores, nasal swabs... All the hits from 2020. As you can guess, we start out the episode a little pissy about it, but switch to other matters such as the Olympics, the upcoming St John's Comedy Festival, and the environmental report that says we're all doomed. Funnier than it sounds...
