We're still trying some new things. In this episode, we reveal some secrets or things we've lied about and remember some good embarrassing stories.

Fall is a time for new beginnings. We're going back to school to reformat and streamline our podcast. After feedback from some of our followers, we've decided to shorten the episodes and break the show into segments. We're testing out some ideas and we'd love to know what you think. In "Then and Now", we ask whether certain things we're better back in the day or now (In today's episode it's before/after computers). In "What's your secret?" we ask for your silliest secrets and decide whether you should come out with them or keep them to yourself. And finally, we're recounting some of our most "Embarrassing Stories" for a laugh. Again, please let us know on our Facebook Page - Art and Susan's Podcast Page what you think.

Virginia Jones is without a doubt one of the most interesting comics to grace a stage.  Her engaging laugh and sparkling personality separate her from the crowd wherever she goes. She joined us on the very day she is awaiting her first niece or nephew.  Texas born, Virginia began her comedy journey in Portland in 2006 and was one of an amazing group of comics to raise the bar in a sluggish Portland Comedy scene. After 10 years in LA, Virginia has carved out a career that makes her memorable and unique.  Enjoy and Subscribe and leave us a review.  PS... It's a Boy!

StopMe favorite Cathy Ladman is back to tell some great stories about life on the road in the early days of her career. Club owner nightmares, her connection to Jerry Seinfeld before he was a stand up, and her upcoming tv appearances. Cathy is always hugely funny and fun.

Geoff Young is literally one of the pioneers of the Northwest comedy scene. Geoff started in the early eighties and performed in many small towns where no man had gone before. He was one of the top performers in Seattle for many years before starting a horse rescue mission and leaving comedy for a while. But he's back now and as funny as ever. Geoff shares some great memories about the early scene and traveling to Iceland to save a herd of wild horses.

Susan and Art start off talking about their trip to do a show at a winery in Zillah, Washington and end up recounting some funny and memorable stories from the road over the years. Mixing alcohol with over the counter codeine in Canada, flying next to passed out drunk... we start down one road and veer off to many side tracks but lots of funny stories. Too many for just this one episode.

Our long time friend Tom McTigue has had an amazing life. His comedy has been seen on HBO, and Comedy Central. He has acted in Baywatch, many many commercials, and the Oscar winning Boyhood. Tom explains what pushed him to pursue stand up in Seattle around 1980, his battle with drinking and his 20 years of sobriety, and relocating to Austin to be a dad right before his ex wife and the mother of his child committed suicide. Loving dad, power act, and successful actor. Seriously Tommy. Leave something for the rest of us. Still, for all his success, Tom has remained grounded and humble. We know you'll love Tom almost as much as we do.

Comedy Classes and cocktail parties! We discuss a wide range of topics with our guest Alex Falcone who has a wide range of talents! In addition to being a talented comedian, Alex has written for LiveWire radio and written a book (Unwrap My Heart) about a teenager falling in love with a mummy. He has taught comedy classes for Helium Comedy Club so we talked about whether or not comedy can be taught. Alex has also had a podcast for 10 years called Read It And Weep. He is a very entertaining and likable guy and time went by too quickly.

We had a great time remembering what we like about the 4th, what we don't like about it, what we love about fireworks, and some of our favorite memories about our nations birthday celebration. We talked about the difference between patriotism and nationalism and the difference between safe celebrations and unsafe ones. Lots of good laughs.

In this his episode we recap our week, talking about the Planned Parenthood fundraiser and welcoming in summer '19.
