November 30, 2020 03:56 - 59 minutes - 45.6 MB

Jesse Green joins us on the back porch for a very fun, wild, and sometimes uncomfortable episode. I'm just a kiss too honest to start out and then we start having some fun. We talk some shit about certain venues and comics (mostly ourselves) life under lockdown, Ross being just one degree off from being famous, and some revealing things about our friends I dont want to mention in the description.

August 10, 2020 04:00 - 1 hour - 49.7 MB

We are back.  Pod name is still pending until further notice. I'm uploading this drunk on busch light so I don't remember exactly all the topics we covered. I know we talked about our idiotic version of politics, the brain's response to trauma, some brief dead parent club talk, and then we get right back into dicks and farts. I enjoyed recording this and I think Ross and I are rolling right now. All we know is work. They gave up on us. You merely adopted the dark. We were molded by it. Ok. I...

We back. Episode #6. I missed you. I am joined today by my friend, and published poet, Genevieve Jaser. The original idea for the TOD was to talk about infatuation, and new relationships.

Episode #2 is up and at 'em my friends. I sit down with my friend & writing partner, comedian Ross Popick. We sat on his back porch talking about living life as trash people. There is a lot of fun meandering but we talk about our lives as low income, low-expectation, cockroaches. I have had some success in stand up simply because I have been doing it longer than Ross. But Ross is deep in the lowest level of show business and it is a strange life that does not make sense to any sane, function...
