Stefani D returns for more talk of romance, sadism, depravity and more! We mostly eschew conversation that touches upon a certain subject/person who shall remain unnamed. We also don't talk about a lot of other things! I was reading the Yukio Mishima novel The Temple of Dawn and related some of its characters' spiritual and moral decline to my own life of quiet desperation and so on. Stefani at one point says I seem to be significantly more happy than I was last year? Maybe. Who knows. 

Josh Stokes from the celebrated and famous HARD FRIED HISTORY podcast joins the Healing Club (ack)(bad podcast name)(thumbs down) to talk about songs people play at the strip club and different things people think about the new Dave Chapelle standup comedy special. We discuss the novels of Yukio Mishima and the music of Moneybagg Yo. This is a very important podcast with a very good message.

This is an episode about comedy, police violence, and everything in between! I met Ian John for the first time on the day we recorded this together,  and it worked out! I think we really connected! Antonio Aguilar is always a great guest! He's known Ian for almost a decade! They started comedy together in Madison, Wisconsin! Good stuff! Great talk!

I mispronounce the name of the movie during the rambling intro and that's all this episode has to do with the 1953 Federico Fellini masterpiece. Radu Bondar stops by to help me brighten my sad day with some stuff about things happening at a Best Western motel--some memory I don't care to preserve. Anyway, this is a good time capsule and a fun conversation with one of the best comedians in Houston. 

This was a fascinating conversation about rape, trauma, race, comedy, improv, and creativity. Tre is so effortlessly funny and graceful with his timing and sharp observations that I didn't think it was too important to edit out anything at all. Comedy gold. One hundred per cent hilarious. Go see Tre perform wherever you can before he leaves for New York. 

Hopefully this one will go down in history as my masterpiece. I was so funny and so honest, so real and so true...  meanwhile, both guests were there: Julie Talbert and Justin Massengale are two of the funniest people in Houston and I got to talk to them. This was a pleasure to record and a value to the planet. This podcast adds value to the human story. You're welcome. 

Jordan Brady returns. We talk about movies, music, friends, high school, children, politics, artificial intelligence and so on. The conversation tries to be lively and then fully takes on a life of its own. I read a bunch of my tweets at the beginning of the episode and sandwich a standup recording in somewhere near the middle. Jordan is as funny and clever as he was last time. Really good! 

Antonio returns to the Healing Club to talk about Napoleon and pronouns, letting go and accepting death. It's one of our most fun filled episodes! Antonio books a lot of shows at The Secret Group and has a presence on stage that is undeniable. Good or bad, it is always undeniable. This was a mostly silly, light-hearted episode. LIke! And Subscribe! 

Arielle Isaac Norman stops over to talk disease, love, comedy, death and everything in between on this amazing episode of The Healing Club. We each performed standup at the first ever Laredo Pride Festival last June. Arielle has lots of other credits. Look them up. I introduce our episode with music reviews and delve into details about my family vis a vis how it compares to the people at my current job. I am a strip club deejay. Arielle is one of the funniest, kindest people I know. It's a great time.

I cut the conversation in half and put the second half before the first half. I think it works. David McQuary is a comedian, writer, actor, animator, and music nerd. He has written for the Onion and placed in the finals for Funniest Person in Austin. We've known each other for years and we like a lot of the same stuff.
