At his now podcast studio in a literal trailer down by the river in Austin, Bill Dawes interviews one of his new friends on the Austin comedy scene - Ryan Joseph. Ryan is a first amendment absolutist, as this interview clearly shows, who believes that no subject - no matter how dark - should be off-limits. In a very deep and revealing interview, we catch a glimpse of what MAKES a darkly funny comic, and what makes a darkly funny comic tick. Ryan is hilarious and profound and gross all at once, so ENJOY!

Jiaoying Summers comes by the yard after a weekend featuring for Bill to talk about her rise in comedy, one of the more unlikely rags to riches stories you will hear in the history of comedy. Her life started off as her almost being left in a dumpster as a victim of China's ONE CHILD POLICY. But her mom, a strong independent woman like Jiaoying, changed her mind and decided to keep her, DESPITE the massive fine soon imposed by the Chinese government. Jiaoying was able to survive a poor upbringing to get to America, to get to La, and to find a way to accrue over a million followers on TikTok with hard work, business acumen, and talent. Her story is AMAZING! Please listen, rate and review the podcast! ENJOY!

Trevor Keveloh comes by the Laugh Factory yard to discuss comedy and some serious subjects, like his fathers interaction with alien technology and MEN IN BLACK that he was silent about until his 80th birthday, shortly before it's passing. Trevor also talks about the near death experience being stabbed in a parking lot of a Denny's and how it refocused his life and his comedy. This is a fun one! ENJOY!

Tommy comes by the yard to catch up with Bill after a long hiatus and they discuss how they were both fired from mediocre jobs this past month. Bill throws caution to the wind and goes on a heated rant about a recent situation where he experienced the very WORST of the business that is show.

While in Los Angeles for pitch meetings, Chris Ferman sits down in the yard with Bill to discuss his new animated series about Bonobo chimps working in an office. Chris discusses the idea for the show and also talks about how he found Bill online and how terrible Bill is at all things social media and business-related. Bill responds by talking about how horny Bonobo chimps are AND FINALLY learns the difference between an ape and a monkey. The ensuing conversation between two perfect strangers is an interesting discussion about the getting projects made, and in a town as gridlocked as Hollywood, how f**king impossible it is to get most original content produced and distributed. Enjoy eavesdropping on a conversation between two people meeting for the first time in LaLaLand. Find Chris online @1BigLiar.

Jack Jr. comes back to the podcast to catch up with Bill on his past year - which includes jobs on Carnival Cruises and a baby on the way.

Jack has a unique and funny perspective on life and the comedy world, so sit back and enjoy!

Kyra Groves is a biracial actress and writer who has appeared in several national television commercials, including some for the Super Bowl. More importantly (for this podcast), she was Bill's first girlfriend when they were at T.C. Williams High School (from "Remember the Titans") in Virginia. As America continues to have a racial reckoning, Bill and Kyra talk about how unusual it was to be in an interracial relationship in the early 90's. Have things changed that much? Have they gotten better or worse? It's always a conversation worth having and this podcast explores many of those questions. ENJOY!

Saurabh Gupta is temporarily living in Bill's studio while he takes an acting class and explores the possibility of being a young actor in Los Angeles.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, we get to see Bill use his MFA in acting to guide someone through a scene about love, money, and romance. It's a great listen for actors, comics, or anyone curious about the creative process. ENJOY!
