Wings with Friends

Danielle “Diva” Williams and her mom Maggie joined me at The Lounge in Sunnyslope for wings and podcasting right before we went on stage for The Lounge’s Wednesday night comedy show.

We talked about Danielle’s glamorous style and her love for wigs, not wings! Danielle shared where she’s at one year since being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer- as a non-smoker. Danielle radiates positivity and light, her energy kept that room glowing all evening!

I got to spend the day with my good friends Breanne Iffert & Layn Abbott. We celebrated Layn's birthday with delicious wings from Long Wong's in Phoenix. Breanne & Layn shared insights on their relationship beginning in college and his journey transitioning to now being young professionals working, supporting each other and building their life together. A great peek into this life of two delightful people.

All my favorite women got together for a wonderful rejuvenating weekend at the beach. Katie Kusiciel, Leigh Houck, Kerri Gallagher, Hillary Hutson and I recorded right on the Mission Beach Boardwalk. We talked about our crushes, comedy and got some advice from the busiest Festival Producer we know and I share the story about getting recognized earlier in the day.

Let’s go back to Oak City where I spoke with comedian and actor Joan Glackin at the festival cookout back in May 2019. One of my favorites, Joan is an interesting and talented comedian out of Brooklyn. We talked about the NY comedy scene, open mics, and describe our favorite porn all while an epic game of spades happened behind us.

Comedian Carlos Rodriguez joined me at the Southside Tavern in Flagstaff during the 2019 Big Pine Comedy Festival. We had a bounty of wings including a flavor Southside created just for us! Carlos was an amazing interview- he shared epic stories about backpacking through Europe, comedy and recovery. I laughed, I cried, I ate wings- its always a great time at Big Pine.

In this squirrelly episode recorded live at Big Pine Comedy Festival, Comedian Lexie Grace and I talk about how she got into comedy, celebrity break-ups and creepy stalkers. There is so much going on in this heavily distracted episode- enjoy special guest host, Chris Centanni when Majerle’s wings start talking back. Recorded live at The Green Room in Flagstaff!

Comedian Johnny Taylor and I eat like kings and talk about being our own biggest fan, filthy jokes, and how to release a comedy album. We enjoyed delicious garlic-medium wings from Chicago Fire in Sacramento. It was a wonderful afternoon where we eventually scored free birthday cake from the table next to us and Johny man-splained man-splaining to me.

Comedian Kandyce August and I visited Cowgirl BBQ during the 2019 Cloud Top Comedy Festival in majestic Santa Fe, New Mexico. We enjoyed their Diablo Wings and a few drinks. Right from the bar we talked about our favorite festivals, our raging feminism, balancing comedy with our day jobs and our crushes.

Mat Alano-Martin joined me at Del Charro Saloon in Santa Fe during the Cloud Top Comedy Festival. We enjoyed delicious chipotle wings and talked about some controversial current events in comedy, merch, and our thoughts on teeth. Mat gets real and shares his own comedy experiences on receiving feedback and writing his 3rd hour.

Leigh Houck is back to talk all things Big Pine and to help me work through men issues. If you listen closely Leigh drops a huge piece of personal info never before shared on a podcast. Listen to the end because in between our tangents we run down our favorite Flagstaff wings, restaurants, hang- out spots, coffee shops and BPCF2019 Hotties! We share tips for attending and making the most of Big Pine 2019 and find time to go deep talking about being of mixed race, PC culture and the Mennonite at the bank.
