Tyrant In Training

Sixth episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is CEO & Executive Producer of San Fenix, comedian, actress, filmmaker Andrea Bridges-Smith.

Also known as the Premier of the island of Volcania. Home of the best fruit salads in the world and champion of feeding the hungry. 

A paradise for people who love good fresh fruit, healthy living and a great standard of living. Unfortunately if you're name is Ted Cruz you will probably be monitored for some time in case you're the same Ted as the man from Texas. Also be warned, if you try to bring in any of that yellow mustard stuff you will be caught, forced down to the docks and made to row for a solid hour and extra hour added onto each time you are caught thereafter. Fortunately this has replaced expensive gym memberships and become a great way to get exercise!

Pay no attention to the minor scandal involving the Premier burping into future soccer manager Fred's face while he discussed his long life of starvation. Fred may have dropped into a coma due to it but he's a strong 112 year old. He WILL recover. The Premier is in no way an insane tyrant, even if she has gone to the hospital to visit Fred and ended up forcing a patient to wear a dress made of x-rays. What sturdy tyrant wouldn't do that?

Volcania might be a lovely island paradise thanks to the Premier but unfortunately it does end with her running for a boat and taking beloved actor Billy Porter with her.

Fifth episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is actor, screenwriter, director, youtuber Cedric Gegel. 

Also known as the M.C.P, the Most Celebrated Pomp of the Mediterranean island of Naboo (not affiliated with Disney and we are happy to fight for the naming rights in court!) . 

An environmentalists dreamland with no cars permitted on the island. You can also enjoy the world famous brownies and other bakery goods Naboo has to offer. Fred, the beloved 90 year old senator is even promising a 20ft brownie at the next festivities. Don't worry, he's not carrying it!

Pay no attention to the minor scandal involving certain books being banned such as Romeo & Juliet. Cedric, our M.C.P, feels terrible about this rash decision. He also does not condone Brian's behavior in the Department of War and has moved him onto the streets to sweep up leaves. Since the island is 80% forest park there is a great chance Brian is going to be driven insane. Driven...get it. (No cars, you see!)

This episode features a large cast of characters including Brian, Paul, Lauren, Captain Adam and the M.C.P's favorite goon - Ajax. 

My God, what a disastrous inner circle they all turned out to be!

Happy New Year (Newboo Year)

Fourth episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is my current fiancée and former girlfriend Celine Laing

Also known as the Lady Laing of the Scandinavian island DenWaySwedeland. A woman famous for her time spent underwater living inside a dome to learn we need to take better care of our oceans. She has been consistent in alarming the public about the dangerous murderer, Barry the Robin Hood lookalike.

She also played a part in a movie set in the Lord of the Rings universe, you may have spotted her in the critical bar scene. She played Geraldine the barmaid explaining to a stranger that Old Timmy (the six year old boy) has been sitting in the town for about 5 years now. 

Off the set, Lady Laing handles her countries foreign affairs with enthusiasm, whether it's debating whether to cancel Christmas in her enemies territories or posing for propaganda photos aboard a plane packed with snow around her. If you get a chance, please check out her popular Eurovision entry "Swede-r Than Pie"

(My God what nonsense this all was!)

Happy Christmas.

Third episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is writer and director Gillian Fritzsche. 

Also known as the Missus of Rocky Harbor Island. You might notice the glorious and plentiful hiking trails on the island. The nightly news will update you on the Missus's negotiations with the French leader which she insists on conducting through a very basic understanding of French on her part. Some rumors swirl around the island that the Missus actually has healing powers and some refer to her as a matron. This rumor may have been started by a boy who had a crush on her.

Judge Judy leads the judicial branch of the government and mostly oversees the increasingly popular M.M.A  (Manly Men Association) who have been terrorizing the island. Whether these terrorists take over the island once the Missus leaves her throne and declares a full democratic election remains to be seen, by that point she will be 95 years of age and planning to take part in the Tour De Rocky Harbor.

Second episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guests are Dean Boo and Abbie from the podcast ThatFKingShow. 

Here on out known as The Man (Dean) Might Monarch Boo Lemont (Boo) and Queen of the Dead (Abbie) of the island ThatFKing Island, later split into three territories: That FKing Territory, Boolandia and the Dead Zone. Visit to enjoy the wonderful dog park of Boolandia, the City of the Dead where the new seat of Christianity has been formed thanks to another heist from George Clooney and friends. Visit, if you must, The Man's territory which has seen citizens take on a rabid hatred of Tom Hanks and his family.  

Pay no attention to the U.N and their criticism of The Man nuking Vatican City after a lost football match. Pay no attention to the pineapple murders by Queen of the Dead.  Listen instead to Mighty Monarch Boo Lemont and the island's badly received Eurovision song "Picky Picky Pineapple. Also, if anyone asks about Chet Hanks, he was never here OK?

First episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is combat veteran, filmmaker and CCO of HERC Studios Brian Cutter. 

Here on out known as Captain Doom of Doom Island. Visit Doom Island to enjoy our volcano spungeons (not torturous spa dungeons). Home to the "Happiest people living in a country with an evil sounding name". Intricately connected to Dreamworks Studios: see our large statue of Scrat's father (voiced by our leader Captain Doom)

Pay no attention to the screams from the spungeons. Those people shouldn't have texted while driving. Also if you see anyone called Paul. Be nice to him. He does A LOT of work.
