Episode 17 - Reggie Watts Feb 12, 2018

Show notes

Reggie Watts is on to discuss growing up in Montana and winning a stand up comedy contest while he was still in high school. He left stand up behind to move Seattle in the early 90s to pursue music before ending up in New York City 12 years later during the emergence of the alternative comedy scene. He holds the prestigious records for least jobs bad jobs held so far as an Entry Level guest, but that's only because he was bumming on couches playing music.

Episode 16 - Taran Killam Feb 05, 2018

Show notes

Taran Killam is on to discuss starting out as a child actor. His resume includes non union commercials as a 10 year old, getting his only line in Naked Gun 33 1/3 cut, being on MADTV when he was 19, and much more. Taran explains most of his life decisions were based on what got him out of going to school which makes sense. He also talks about what it was like the week Trump hosted SNL and the sketch he wrote for him where Trump's only line was "I forgot the snakes."

Episode 15 - The Lucas Brothers Jan 29, 2018

Show notes

Keith and Kenny Lucas are on this week to discuss only accepting jobs as a team. Somehow, lots of places were ok with this. They don't handle being told what to do well so none of these jobs lasted that long. From McDonalds (inside the hospital) to tricking people in a boiler room scam to living in their car in Brooklyn they've gone through a ton of shit to get where they are today.

Episode 14 - Jay Mohr Jan 22, 2018

Show notes

Jay Mohr is on this weeks episode to talk about growing up in "The Soprano's" part of New Jersey. He started stand up at 15, but that didn't keep him from being terrible at a few jobs before he was a touring professional comic at 19. Jay and Brooks also talk way too much about Iowa wrestling, just a heads up. Music by Drennon Davis Art by Barry Blankenship
