Jeni Wren Stottrup | Audio Nerd Getting Gritty with Podcasts
Jun 30, 2021
Dream jobs, let’s talk about them. I don’t know how many of you out there have your dream job, I hope most of you do, but my guess is that most of us do not and, worse, we don’t even know what a dream job actually looks like.

Doug Noll | Superhuman Learner Helping Murderers Become Peace-Keepers
May 12, 2021
Sometimes it’s important to understand your limits. Like setting a budget or knowing how much you can drink at a party before you end up naked and asking people for pony rides… sorry Grandma, your birthday was great! This episode’s guest, Douglas Noll, doesn’t look at limits the same way; he has figured out how to break all of the limits: physically, mentally and has perfected learning in what seems like a superhuman way.
Doug Noll was a trial lawyer in California who was tenacious and sought-after all throughout the state. Hating the commute, Doug decided to learn how to fly just to get out of traffic-jams. Ed has been a part of bands and has recently taken up concert jazz. That’s right, took up jazz. For fun. Most recently, he has been a best-selling author and has created a program to help murderers in prison to become experts in diffusing violent situations. If that last sentence doesn’t boggle your mind, I don’t know what will.
We talk about learning and how to do it properly, his time as a musician, some of his amazing trial lawyer stories, the time he almost died flying a plane, and then we talk a great deal about his de-escalation techniques and his work with inmates which is absolutely amazing. You can learn more about Doug and his programs at https://dougnoll.com

Michael Gibson & Calvin McCarthy | Movie Making Duo that Sometimes Hang Dong
Mar 10, 2021
What makes a movie good? This was a conversation that I recently had and it really blew my mind. The argument was “if a movie is ‘good’ and I can’t keep my eyes open during it, is it good to me?” I had to pause, and completely agree. The movies that I enjoy most are the ones where I am engaged, fully, and feel connected to because they were so entertaining. I hate to admit, but there are a lot of “good” movies that do not appeal to me in any way.
You know who would totally agree with that? Michael Gibson and Calvin McCarthy. Why? Because they are producing and creating a movie in Portland right now called “Vampire Mutants from the Planet Neptune” which sounds more like a random word-generator than the title of a movie. But, after talking to these two, I have no doubt that it is going to be a really good movie, at least for me!
We talk about putting a movie together, the creative process, being in movies, watching movies… we talk a lot of movies. Calvin has been an actor and director in the Portland area since he was little, and Michael is a producer and focuses on sound, which is near and dear to my heart. And yes, we do talk about hanging dong in a movie.
Michael & Calvin developed the production company Video Is The Future and their first production is going to be the aforementioned “Vampire Mutants from the Planet Neptune” where you can join me at the premiere and help support this film! Go to http://bit.ly/SCPSmutantvampire to support!
Nick Shelton | World-Dominating Introvert With Really Nice Feet
Feb 10, 2021
You know that feeling when you walk into a room, maybe it’s a party or other gathering, and you don’t know anyone really and you start to feel the walls pulling you closer until your back is against it? Or, maybe there is a dog or cat around and you decide that would be the best conversational companion? What about a room filled with people you do know? What about a room with one other person? If you still find yourself “shying away” from others, you might be an introvert. This episode’s guest completely understands where you are coming from.
Nick Shelton is a world-dominating introvert. What does that mean? It means that despite having what would be considered crippling social anxiety and feeling drained being around people, Nick has found a way to overcome it! And better yet… he can help you if you have similar issues! He wrote a book so you can figure this out for yourself called “An Introvert’s Guide to World Domination” (https://amzn.to/3p6S7t1). He even has a worldwide network of introverts! Wild!
We talk about Nick’s 5 engagements (and 2 marriages), the worst lines to use at a party, how to figure out if you are an introvert yourself, what to do with a masseuse who likes your feet too much, and how to watch people in public places without being creepy. Look, it’s hard to do primary research for a book.
This week’s sketch: “This Guy is Really Starting to Creep Me Out.”
“The Introvert’s Guide to World Domination” — Nick’s book on how to take your introversion and use it to your advantage in networking and in life. A must-read for anyone struggling in a world that caters to extroverts.
Travis Stovall | 2020 Mayoral Candidate Who Knows How People Tick
Oct 28, 2020
We get so caught-up in the presidential election that sometimes we forget that the most important votes are the ones that affect us locally, such as who is going to be the next person to run the town or city you are in. During the Covid-19 pandemic, local leadership was crucial to help small businesses stay in business and your neighbors to be able to stay in their homes. Local initiatives have immediate effect on our lives. So we need to get to know who is going to be leading us heading into the next couple of years.
Travis Stovall believes he is that guy for my hometown, Gresham. He might be right, Travis is a scholar, has a business that helps people find themselves and be able to better deal with others, and is quite possibly one of the most personable people that you will ever meet.
I originally invited him onto the show because he has a company called eRep (https://erep.com) that offers something called a CVI (Core Values Index) score which does an incredibly astute job of defining the traits and proficiencies for people. Seriously, it blew my mind, and highlighted for me my biggest strengths and made me aware of the things that I could use help with. Go to https://whatsmyCVI.com and take the 5-minute test and see what you get, I bet it is remarkably. accurate! Then, when I found out that he was going to jump into local politics, I thought it was a perfect time to see how something like the CVI could help someone navigate the different personalities and proficiencies of running a city. You can find out more about his quest for the top seat in Gresham at https://www.travisstovall.com
Travis is a really entertaining human, has great stories, and listening to him just feels like you are speaking to someone who has a real grasp on the world. Oh, and we also record a sketch based on a true story.
Travis Stovall — The best place to go to find out more about Travis and connect with him.
Ed Wynn | Author Trying to Make Political Discussions Great Again
Oct 01, 2020
Remember back to all of those really civil, insightful, and mind-expanding political discussions at Thanksgiving dinner? No? Because they don’t exist—at least not yet.
Ed Wynn has spent the last 3 decades trying to help governments and companies find fixes to their problems. He is qualified to do so too, because he is really smart. Ed graduated summa cum laude at the University of Illinois and magna cum laude in law at Georgetown. Throw in the fact that he is a Truman Presidential Scholar and you can see why people are so interested in having him find solutions!
The one thing Ed is not is a political insider, and his new book, “We The People” is his attempt to fix political discourse in America by laying out the blueprint to having discussions with your family during Thanksgiving. It’s worth the read just to be able to get through the evening not trying to strangle your uncle! On a personal note, I think this is the gateway to having some real discussions about heavy subjects without anyone blowing a gasket, and the book even includes TL;DR sections at the very beginning for those of us who want to be more enlightened, but also have a fantasy football team to manage.
My one regret… I should have asked him more about his biking adventure. If you would like to hear more about it, please let me know. I am certain Ed would be willing to go more in-depth with that. (I really do feel bad that I didn’t go more into that, I was so excited to talk about talking)
Claire Malkie | Risk-Taker and Political Motivator for the “Meh” Crowd
Aug 26, 2020
Have you ever just picked up and moved to a big, metropolitan city you have never visited on a whim? How about deciding one day that you need to thrust your fellow generation into informed political discourse? I’m pretty sure you haven’t done either of those things. You are about to meet someone who has.
Claire Malkie grew up in Virginia and studied classical acting at Hofstra University. After graduating, someone suggested moving to Chicago and, without skipping a beat, she jumped at the opportunity. Arriving in Chicago ready to tackle the stage, she soon realized that the opportunities were pretty limited, but there were tons of opportunities to do improv. So, she headed back to improv school and started learning and performing at Comedy Court and has worked at a number of festivals.
Overhearing a conversation from a peer that included “I don’t really understand politics, so I don’t want to get involved”, Claire realized that she could help change that attitude, which was important to her because she realized that she had the same attitude. To remedy that disinterest, Claire now co-writes and hosts the podcast “Sit Still, Look Opinionated” (https://sit-still-look-opinionated.simplecast.com) which is not just informative and non-biased, but it is also downright funny as she and her co-writer come up with fantastic jokes about the headlines that deserve to be on late-night talk shows. I highly recommend checking it out, whether you are in the know, or are trying to be, or don’t care… because you should.

When you were a kid and went out for a walk, you might have attracted mosquitos or flies. Not Dan Ram. Dan attracted Lions.
Dan Ram is an accidental event master of ceremonies, has given TEDx talks 5 times and can even show you how to get yourself doing the same thing as a coach. He has met celebrities of all sorts, including being on-stage with Barak Obama, who actually remembered his name even if Dan mispronounced his.
We hear about Dan’s childhood run-in with a giant kitty, which is only one of four near death experiences he has had. We get to hear how he accidentally found success through a massive failure, which has led to hundreds of speaking engagements, TEDx talks, and has even been an advisor to the Irish Prime Minister.
When not touring the globe MCing events or giving talks, Dan helps others live their lives to their fullest through coaching, and you can find out more about that at iamdanram.com.

Frank King | Comedian, TED Speaker & Suicidal Superhero
Feb 10, 2020
Frank King is always on the verge of commiting suicide. It is a feeling that has plagued him since he was young, passed down from previous generations. When faced with a problem, Frank always sees an option a lot of people do not see, killing himself.
Where most would see this as a detriment, Frank has turned suicide into a lucrative career as a comedian, public speaker and TED Talker. As The Mental Health Comedian, Frank confronts the standard taboos associated with suicide and speaks openly about it, letting people know that these feelings are not just theirs and creating a dialog that allows people to get the help that they need.
On a personal note, this episode could not have come at a better time. Though you may not hear it in my voice, I was desperately struggling with these feelings myself, and it was because of this discussion that I was able to get help for myself. Frank, in his talking about ending one’s own life, actually helped me overcome those feelings in myself.
Of course I need to put out a warning, this episode dives pretty deeply into depression, mental illness and, of course, suicide. My suggestion, don’t be afraid to confront it. Knowing that there are others that struggle helps. Knowing that you can use it as a super power is incredibly empowering.
If you are feeling those feelings, then please do the world a favor and call 800 273 8255. You are worthwhile and the world is a better place with you. I think so, you listen to my show and I think you are incredibly special. Thank you.
You can hear and see more of Frank on his website: thementalhealthcomedian.com where you can listen to his TED talks, subscribe to his podcast and even hire him to come and do a keynote for your company.
This was one of my favorite episodes, it literally saved my life.

Dune DiCarnage | Your Friendly, Neighborhood Human Cyborg - Part 2
Jan 13, 2020
Last episode we heard about Dune’s birthday party while he was in the hospital being a quadraplegic (seriously, it was better than any of your birthday parties) and what got him there.
This week, we hear about how much Dune’s doctors were complete dicks to him, and why it worked. We also hear about dating while immobilized, being in movies and why Zion from “The Matrix” was filled with a bunch of nipple-necked cliques.

Dune DiCarnage | Your Friendly, Neighborhood Human Cyborg - Part 1
Dec 16, 2019
To refer to Dune as anything less than a superhero would be a gross misrepresentation. Dune has defied every odd, has looked death and worse in the eye and laughed, and has even attended my funeral before I died… this guy is INTERESTING! It is not often that one gets to talk to someone who was a quadriplegic, destined never to walk again, who just literally willed himself back on his feet. I don’t know what you did this weekend, but I certainly didn’t do anything like that!
Dune DiCarnage is hard to pin down, he has had so many careers and jobs in the past, and none of them could be considered ordinary. He has been a secret agent, a dancer at Zion (in the Matrix), and now patrols the city at night as part-man, part-machine seeking vengeance upon evil. Okay, that last part is not completely accurate, but I would not put it past Dune for that to be true.
This is a 2-part episode, because the conversation ran long and it is all well worth listening to. Also, what better way to close out the year?!? You will hear up until Dune’s birthday party, which was like no other birthday party you have ever attended. Next week, you will get the rest of the conversation as well as the sketch we recorded.
These are stories you will likely not forget!

Bunny Young | Addicted to Great Danes and Saving the World
Dec 02, 2019
This week's guest, Bunny Young, is a therapist turned consultant (you may be noticing a trend as of late...) who specializes in helping companies recognize work/life balance and become better at making the world a better place, which is sort of her life's mission statement. Her company, "A Better Place Consulting" (abetterplaceconsulting.com), is a place where small to large companies go for more direction and also hire her for speaking engagements.
Bunny currently has 5 great danes at her house. That's a lot of dogs! I don't know if you realize how big those dogs are! They're huge! 5 of them! Not only that, but Bunny found a way to make me feel even more guilty about my extreme coffee addiction, and now I am sourcing fair-trade certified coffee and trying to find ways to make my Keurig machine not so... wasteful. Also, she did part of her college dissertation on the Joker being her client.

Mark Whitney | Political Podcaster, Comedic Performer, 2020 Presidential Candidate
Nov 06, 2019
Look, it’s not every day that you get to talk to someone who is registered to be on the ballot as a presidential hopeful in 2020, and you have to hop on each one of these types of opportunities. Does it help that Mark Whitney is also a comedian? Well… maybe.
Mark Whitney is, in fact, running for President in 2020. This is not a joke, he is serious, and I think it is wonderful that we could get a chance to hear someone like Mark debate the other two candidates on a national level. Mark has experiences, from starting as an Electrolux Vacuum salesman to becoming a Ben & Jerry’s kingpin, to losing it all and landing in prison which set him up to come back and start a very successful law website… this story has to be heard to be believed!
Be on the lookout for more from Mark this year, and make sure to check out his website, markwhitney.com, to learn more about him (although, you will learn a lot in this show) and listen to his podcast “Mark Whitney - Civil Libertarian for President - Keep Banging”.

Jarrod Haning | Xtreme Concert Violinist & Mind-Reading Income Doubler
Oct 22, 2019
https://www.youtube.com/embed/oXp0k5hGXGA
Jarrod Haning eventually came out of the closet… the closet that he would practice in for thousands of hours with his violin, on a journey to become a symphonic concert violinist. At one time, he was putting people in homes and making them so happy that they would praise him on the national news programs. Now, Jarrod helps people, like you or I, find our groove and double our income by reading our minds! Sort of.
Jarrod uses a Nobel-nominated process called mind-scanning that helps uncover and unlock your true potential at Mindset Performance. I am in the middle of going through this process now and it is amazing. You can get a free mind-scan and consultation by going to minsetperformance.co!
We talk about Jarrod’s craziest concert wardrobe-malfunction experiences, how he followed in the path of a barely-literate person and made tons of money, and power tools. Power tools!
Mind-scanning is pretty incredible and you can experience mind-scanning for yourself for free thanks to a special link for Sketch Comedy Podcast Show listeners! You can get a mind-scan and a consultation with Jarrod himself to figure out the results. It takes a surprising little amount of time, and the insights are just mind-blowing.

Susan Guthrie | A Kinder, Gentler Divorce Lawyer
Sep 24, 2019
Susan Guthrie has been a divorce attorney for 30 years, and now calls herself a recovering litigator and helps people separate peacefully and respectfully with mediation. After living in California for a couple of years, she even offers a mindfulness track with mediation, breathing exercises and intention setting.
We talk about, you guessed it, divorce and how after 30 years Susan pivoted her career to out of the courtroom, calling herself a recovering litigator, to a meditation practice which helps couples find a peaceful and respectful way to separate.
Susan has a podcast, called “Breaking Free: A Modern Divorce Podcast” (https://breakingfreemoderndivorcepodcast.podbean.com/) where she and Rebecca Zung offer suggestions and inspiration for anyone thinking about, going through, or healing from a divorce. As someone who went through one some time ago, it is easily one of the hardest things I had to go through and I wish I had access to this show at that time.
Additionally, we chat about why divorces happen, how affairs in a marriage are seen in court, when is the most common times to get divorced, why staying together is really screwing up kids and a lot of other things. We also record a sketch!
You can hear more from Susan on her podcast: breakingfreemoderndivorcepodcast.podbean.com/
It’s hard to call this week’s guest, S. Anthony Thomas, anything but prolific. On his podcast, “S. Anthony Says”, S. talks about life… all of it, every week for the last 6 years (he will be celebrating 6 years of podcast gold on October 21st), and his no-holds-barred approach to the subjects he picks from his daily life is refreshing, fun, and often more poignant than you would expect. This episode was a lot of fun, because if there is one thing S. can do, it is talk and keep things interesting!
S. Anthony Thomas started out as a standup at an early age and caught fire immediately. Before the flood of other comedians that decided to go down the podcast path, S. started in the medium early and created a really fantastic format that is all his own. S. Anthony’s show “S. Anthony Says” is one part Moth, one part Andy Rooney and 100% S. Anthony. It is one of my favorite shows on the internet, and has been for years.
Make sure to follow S. on Twitter, where he is really active! @santhonythomas @santhonysays

Steve Wollett | Gaming Mastermind, Movie Mogul and Legit Bank Robber
Sep 09, 2019
Well… that was unexpected. My intent with this show was to talk to someone who was an expert in tabletop gaming, but found a bank robber, author, filmmaker and a whole lot more!
Steve Wollett started off as an idiot (his words, not mine) and progressed into an honest-to-god bank robber in his early years. No joke. This guy made hundreds of thousands of dollars walking into banks and spending about 2 minutes, then walking out with a sack full of cash!
Eventually, Steve was caught, and ended up spending some time in prison where started a gaming party of 30 inmates. This is when things took a turn for Steve, and between gaming with his fellow prisoners and meeting a mentor that helped him see the error of his ways, he turned to gaming as a way to fill his time and his interest.
Out of prison, Steve went to school, got a legitimate job, and continued to game. Eventually, he started working in the movie industry and currently sits on judging panels for a number of festivals. If you are interested in gaming and Steve’s filmmaking, you can go to Amazon Prime and look up “A Word from a Gamer”, his award-winning film about gamers spoken by gamers; it is a really well put-together and interesting film.
These days, Steve spends time at his health food store and writing novels, which started out as a dare but has progressed into 10 different books! His latest, “The Gorgon’s Lament” is another thing I did not expect from Steve. (this is a REALLY interesting guy!) Find it here: https://amzn.to/2IV0bsQ
We then use these experiences to come up with a sketch. I don’t want to talk about it here, because the genesis is so shocking!

Josh McCullough | "Murder in the Rain" Producer and Disturbingly Awkward Movie Watcher
Aug 27, 2019
A little SCPS history about this episode. Alisha had decided she did not want to do the show anymore, which was totally understandable. I, however, didn’t have the same feeling, so I wanted to keep it going. I needed to figure out how to do it, and I decided I was going to get a ringer for the show, and I did.
Josh McCullough is a close friend, a fellow bandmate and is a fellow podcaster. Whenever we get together, we try to entertain each other with what we are talking about which was perfect for this episode.
Currently, Josh is working WITH Alisha on the very popular and successful true crime podcast “Murder in the Rain” where Josh is the producer and makes everything sound so good!
This is genuinely one of my favorite episodes of all time. It’s really just Josh and I chatting and then making one of the most epic sketches this show has ever produced.
This week's sketch: "It's All in the Arm" about what happens when Pokemon Go gets out of hand.

Amanda Richards | Songstress, Playwright, Artist… and On-Stage Masturbator
Aug 20, 2019
Did I get your attention with that description? Good. Although that was my introduction to her, Amanda Richards is much more… SO MUCH MORE!
Amanda is a 6-time Grammy Nominated member of Outlaw Country Music Royalty (according to her) and has been recording and releasing albums since 2004. Her songs are a combination of heartfelt country and lyrical whimsy… how many country artists would release an entire album of zombie-inspired tracks? Amanda did on 2011’s “Play Dead” (h). She also wrote the musical "Wiskey Dixie & the Big Wet Country" which is becoming a movie!
Amanda is hard at work making her musical “Whiskey Dixie & the Big Wet Country” into a movie (check out this video for a taste: https://youtu.be/zcxAuX9IK7k). With songs like “Save a Cow, Eat a Cowgirl” you can bet that it lives up to her description of a “raunchy outlaw-country musical about a sexually frustrated cowgirl who finds herself on a tragicomic ride from Hell and will do whatever it takes to get off.” It is seriously the best thing I have seen on stage in a very long time and belongs on Broadway. It is really raunchy (it starts with the protagonist, Wiskey (played by Amanda) getting pulled over for masturbating while driving… and the show does not slow down from there. I hope everyone gets a chance to see this and hear the music, it is simply fantastic. So fantastic, in fact, that it has been optioned for a movie and she is currently in production on it as you are listening to it! You can totally support her on her IndieGoGo (as I have) and get some nifty swag with the support!
We recorded 2 sketches. To hear the one that I did not produce, please head to Patreon and become a patron for $1 a month to get all of the bonus content.

Originally Released 8/21/2019
If you feel like you have already listened to this episode, you probably have! This is a re-release of the fabulous first episode of the “New” Sketch Comedy Podcast Show. You’ll notice that the format wasn’t quite there yet, we didn’t know how to start the show or even how to have someone on the show with us. Despite being awful hosts, Dr. Kiki was great and we came up with not one, but two really good sketches!
Dr. Kiki Sanford is an honest-to-goodness scientist and deserves being called “Doctor”. Every week, on her podcast “This Week in Science”, she talks about the goings-on in science news and gives perspectives on these stories for us, the common folk. As of this recording (in Summer 2016) she had also made appearances on “Chelsea” (Chelsea Handler’s show on Netflix) as well as other shows like “Food Science”. Dr. Kiki is also an award-winning podcaster and it was a fluke that she was willing to come and do this show.
Make sure to check out Dr. Kiki’s really great content. You can find her doing her science thing every week on “This Week in Science” (https://www.twis.org)
The sketch was really relevant in the Summer of 2016…

This Week In Science — This Week in Science (TWIS) is a weekly, hour-long web and radio show presenting an humorous, often opinionated, and irreverent look at the week in science and technology. In each episode, TWIS discusses the latest in cutting-edge science news on topics such as genetic engineering, stem cells, cybernetics, epigenetics, space exploration, neuroscience, microbiology, the end of the world, and a show favorite – Countdown to World Robot Domination.
Billy Lonas | Putting God on Trial
Aug 04, 2019
Billy Lonas has a deep interest in the Bible that came about when he was 12 years old and was told that God loved him but if he didn’t do what God said he would got to hell forever and ever… that didn’t make sense to Billy. So, he started questioning the methods that people used to study and understand the Bible and spends his time sharing a message of love and selflessness as opposed to dogma. This is a conversation that does an incredible job of putting a lot of religions on notice and explaining God’s love in a way that is both welcoming and easily comprehensible.
Billy is an author of two books, he is a singer-songwriter, and has also been very active in sharing his message of love and acceptance. We talk about the difference between selfish and selfless love, and which one most Christians tend to lean towards and why that is not very Christ-like. I really enjoyed this conversation with Billy and will likely invite him back on to discuss his philosophy, which is encompassing and not dismissive, again.
Make sure to check out Billy’s websites for more information about his philosophy, to check out some of the artists that he is promoting for free, and to see how he interprets the Bible’s message, which I cannot suggest more.
We then record a sketch about the Garden of Eden and what those crazy kids might have been eating... hint: it isn't an apple.

Liv Milano | Actress, Podcaster, was a Millionaire Matchmaker
Jul 22, 2019
Livia Milano has been on “Key and Peele”, spent some time on “Millionaire Matchmaker”, has written dozens of screenplays that you have not seen (not your fault) does stand-up comedy in Los Angeles and has a cat. She is also, and most importantly, the host of the “Not So Sexy, Sexy Podcast” where she picks a topic and will rant about that subject or has occasional guests on her show where they talk about things as well. The show is a fantastic blend of blog, confessional, comedy and what it is like being a female actress in LA (as opposed to being a male actress in LA).
Liv talks about her writing talent, how terrible Seattle is, why she can never get any of her screenplays made into things, and mentions that her brother was killed in Peru and might have been a somehow connected to the mob. Also, we talk about where Italian-Americans end up when the move West in the US.
This was an incredibly fun conversation, and I am tickled with how the sketch came out!

RJ the Magician | Master of Black Magic
Jun 24, 2019
Are you into black magic? I’m not talking about the dark arts here, I mean entertainers that use magic that happen to be African-American! Rajon Lynch, or better known as RJ the Magician, is one of the top black magicians in the world today, and he is only 23!
RJ uses a lot of comedy in his act, sometimes risqué, but everyone has a lot of fun at his shows. In fact, he was recently awarded “Rising Star” from the International Coalition of Black Magicians.
Rajon has traveled the globe teaching magic to people, has done a TED talk and now hosts the excellent and very relatable “I Hate Everyone” podcast (https://www.rjsmagic.com/ihateeveryone).
We then record the sketch “Obama Safety Impersonator”.

Catching Up With Amber Peeler | Stuart's Daughter... Does She Do Porn or Not?!?
Jun 21, 2019
Well, this is every parent's dream... Stuart's 21-year-old step-daughter, whom he raised, got asked to do sexual acts, on film, for lots of money... and she did not say no.
We talk about the situation, how she processed the information, asking random people walking into gas stations for life-advice, the lure of easy money, what life looks like as someone who does adult films for a living, and, ultimately, Amber makes a decision.
If you are a parent, this is a great video to watch to see how to talk to your adult child about difficult subjects. If you are a young woman who is considering the adult film industry (an industry that neither Stuart or Amber judge as an industry at all) this will give you things to consider. To anyone who might be listening and hoping she says yes... well, you'll just have to wait and see!
No joke, I love these types of things. It's like critical thinking but with subjects that are interesting!

Conversation with Jason Eric Ross | Psychotherapist Turned Psychopath (on TV)
Jun 03, 2019
Jason Eric Ross is a psychotherapist by trade and has been a psychopath... or at least portrayed one on TV.
Jason became an actor late in life and, last year, decided he didn't want to have any regrets in his life so he enrolled in and is nearly finished with the UCB sketch and improv programs after waiting 14 years to start. He recently appeared on Betty en NY on Telemundo and will be seen in Paper Empire this fall with Robert Davi, Denise Richards, Steve Guttenberg and Wesley Snipes.
In his professional career, Jason followed in the footsteps of his psychoanalyst parents and helps people in mental health with parenting, trauma, substance abuse and co-authored a book with his mother on parenting called "You Can Say No And, Yes Parents, Your Children Will Still Love You" which you can get on Amazon for free!
Jason has also been a Beatle, or at least a fake one in the Beatle cover band “Let It Be”; he played the “quiet one” George on guitar.
We talk about having psychoanalyst parents, not falling terribly far from the tree, comedy and improv, parenting, and then I use this as a way to get free therapy… oh and we record a sketch too!

Conversation with Bex Bedford | Super-Sized Influencer
May 20, 2019
Rebecca Bedford spent a good portion of her life hiding from people. Seriously. She would find times to go to the grocery store when no one else was there, her job was at a standstill because she didn’t want to see anybody or be seen by anybody and even things such as getting gas in her car was beyond difficult for her to accomplish. She decided to do something about it; but not what you are thinking. In the end, she decided acceptance and self-love was the right direction and for her many followers, she was right.
Her new website, BexBedford.com, is a great place to start. Rebecca went from finding it impossible to be around other people to talking to thousands of people on a daily basis on YouTube, through podcasts, social media… literally thousands of people watch and listen to her every day. Her shows involve body positivity, tips, dating, and now livestreams and her community is made up of a diverse amount of people of all body types.
We talk about being plus-sized, how creating content for the internet can have its challenges, dating, and other things and, of course, we record a sketch you can hear next week.

Catching Up with gough again! | New movie Available Now! “How to Land That Dream Job”
May 16, 2019
He’s back, and he brought a new movie with him! This one means a lot to me, because it is really highlighting a skill that I need right now since I was laid off “How to Land That Dream Job”. Like all of gough’s other movies, this is a fantastic documentary, really thought out and highly researched, that explores the best methods to land that job that you have always told your significant other and parents you were going to get, and this time let’s see them laugh themselves silly or disappointingly cry!
As always, you can go to beernutsproductions.com to get this or one of gough’s many other delightful movies, books, audio programs, or whatever else he has created recently. This guy is prolific, and always has something new for you to enjoy!

“Nailed This Video Store Interview” with Justin Kavanaugh
May 06, 2019
Remember when you were so excited to go into your first job interview? Where was it, a grocery store? A deli? Or, was the the most coveted job available… the video rental store (kids: this was a place that people went before Netflix completely destroyed the industry where people would actually, and get this, drive to a store where they would spend anywhere from $3-$6 to rent a video and then have to drive it back to the store and drop it off before they incurred ridiculously high “late fees”). Why was the video rental store the best? Well, you got access to all fo the coolest things: movies, video games, junk food… everything a teenager covets! Sometimes, you would see that one person in the store that didn’t seem to enjoy their job, and that they could never seem to connect with the customers, their coworkers, or even just do a good job…. Aaaaand here is Justin!
This sketch is featuring Justin Kavanaugh, the master of unemployable skills! He currently has a podcast serializing his #NaNoWriMo novel (that’s the National November Writing Month novel) “The Spice of Autumn”. Link is below!

Justin's Favorite Song (from Sketch Comedy Podcast Show) — When you go camping, there are things that you really look forward to. Sure, the campfire is nice and sleeping on the ground is fantastic, obviously, but there is one thing that is universal... one thing we can all agree on whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Christian, a Muslim, Agnostic or Atheist... S'mores are the best part of camping.
This was 100% the work of the talented Alisha Holland… well, except for the melody, music and inspiration of the original song “Roar” by Katy Perry… I suppose she could be thanked as well…
Conversation with Justin Kavanaugh | Master of Unemployable Skills
Apr 29, 2019
Do you know Esperanto? Are you familiar with the Single Transferable Voting System? Can you say that Janeway is your favorite Star Trek captain? Probably not. In fact, you probably have no idea what those three sentences were at all. That's okay, because this episode's guest knows copious amounts of all of these things!
Justin Kavanaugh is someone I met on Twitter and is a vocal fan of the show, which made me want to get him on the show. It's been years of courting him, and he finally decided to come on... and this is one conversation you can't miss. I had to keep my mic on mute for a majority of it because it was so damn funny!
We talk about the world's most useful and underused language, why we should change the way we vote so that voters could be more satisfied, and working in a video store when you hate movies... and then we make a sketch that works with all three things!

Conversation with Ari Meisel | "Overwhelmologist" and Master of Doing Less
Apr 15, 2019
What happens when you are sick? You know, for more than one day (for one day, you get the benefit of just being sick and trying to sleep as much as you can), like sick for a week? What did you do? What if you were sick and feeling miserable for a lot longer… like a LOT longer? You might get angry. You might start cursing the world. You might just give up hope. And that’s exactly what this week’s guest, Ari Meisel, did when he was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease…
…then he got better! Not physically right away, but in his brain he realized that he had to make some changes. So he did. He started realizing that there were ways to be able to get things done easier than he was doing them before. Then he realized that this was something that he could help other people do! So he started an empire. No, really, he started a freaking empire helping people do less work than they ever did before. And if you are wondering what that statement means, it means that you need to subscribe to Ari’s podcast “Doing Less with Ari Meisel” and get his books “The Art of Less Doing” and his new one “The Replaceable Founder” and find out why starting a business and being the boss doesn’t necessarily mean that is all you are going to do with your life… you can live a complete life away from work as well!
We discuss:
Using surrogates
Why bald people all look the same
Getting rid of small tasks and eventually big ones
Good & bad experiences with coaching
Curing Crohn’s
Ari’s 9 books
Why business is not like family, but more like a team
Crashing in planes (twice!)
Then we decide on one of these sketches, find out which one next week!
A Pilot outsourcing his job in the middle of a crash.
Multi-generational company transitioning to a younger generation in an odd business model.
Performance-enhancing drugs for horses being brought to humans.

“You Got Low T, Big G…” with Dr. Marnie Loomis
Apr 09, 2019
What are the signs of low testosterone? Dude, seriously, go back one episode and listen to the conversation with Dr. Marnie Loomis, the Erection Advocate; that episode will change your life whether you are a man who might be having issues with testosterone or someone who is with someone with low testosterone… it’s worth the test to find out! However, if you are too lazy or do not have the attention span with that, maybe this sketch with a very famous person could help…
This sketch was based on the conversation I had with Dr. Marnie Loomis, who is a Naturopathic Doctor in the Pacific Northwest. I have a feeling you will be hearing more from her in the next couple of months.

Conversation with Dr. Marnie Loomis, ND | Erection Advocate
Mar 18, 2019
This is, very likely, the most important episode of “Sketch Comedy Podcast Show” I have produced… bar none. I invite my friend, Marnie Loomis ND, on the show and she talks to me about her passion: testosterone, men’s health and, yes, penises.
Guys, you are going to want to listen because whether you are having issues in the bedroom or not, this information might be able to help with depression, loss of energy, and overall health.
Ladies, you are going to want to listen to this show because you have likely had a situation that made you feel uncomfortable, unwanted or possibly rejected… it is not the case and Marnie speaks about that as well.
Why is this so important? Because I learned so much about how the hormones in our body can regulate sex drive, energy levels and overall health and then found out that most doctors DON’T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT LEVELS SHOULD BE! That’s right, your doctor might be looking at your chart and think that a level of 100 is good because it is in range but might be 600% BELOW WHERE IT SHOULD BE!
We also record a sketch, but you will hear more of that next week.

“Wrestling with the Truth” with Rusty Diamond
Mar 05, 2019
Some say that pro wrestling is not real, and that it is really just a bunch of people acting like they are beating each other up. Maybe that’s true, but even in the world of make-believe wrestling there are ways to get a leg-up on your competition… even if it means public embarrassment.

Conversation with Rusty Diamond | Hypnotic Professional Wrestler
Feb 11, 2019
The fact that Rusty Diamond is a 170 pound professional wrestler is pretty interesting… but the fact that Rusty is also a hypnotist? That’s some next level interesting!
Rusty is a member of DOA Pro Wrestling as well as ECCW Wrestling and has had the pleasure of playing the face (a good guy) as well as a heel (the bad guy). He has also been a stand-up comic and, most recently, a hypnotist.
We talk about identity crisis in pro wrestling and how Rusty found himself drawn to entering the ring. We also talk about doing stand up, and how it compares to wrestling, and Rusty talks about doing crowd work on the stage. Then, and probably the most interesting, is Rusty’s entering into the foray of hypnotism. You read that right, hypnotism and why he chose that as a vocation. Both of us are really into floating in sensory deprivation tanks also… maybe we should have recorded in one of those… At any rate, you can check out Rusty’s hypnotism on his website: hypnosisisgreat.com. If you suffer from anxiety, fear, depression, athletic enhancement, or would like help with stopping smoking or losing weight, Rusty offers treatments that are on a sliding scale. I know that there are a lot of skeptics out there, but for what Rusty is charging and even if there were mild improvements in your life, it would be well worth it. In fact, to make it more worth it, he is offering the first 15 minutes of your session for free! Just mention “Sketch Comedy Podcast Show” when you book your appointment!

“Living with a Monster” with Riana Milne
Feb 05, 2019
Riana Milne, real life love-guru, and I continue chatting about relationships and decide to make a sketch based on the worst possible couple coming in for couple’s therapy. Riana is very serious about couple’s therapy, and it even comes through in her comedy!
One of the two people coming to see Riana is a complete and utter monster… you will have to decide which of the two is the absolute worst person.
Riana then drops a bomb after the credits roll. I tell you what, I won’t make you wait until the very end (although I should, this offer is outstanding). Riana is offering a free consultation for the first 10 listeners who are looking for a little love-direction. This is a $500 value, and Riana is no snake-oil salesperson, she is an honest-to-goodness therapist! So, if you are feeling like you could sharpen up your love life and give yourself a better opportunity to meet Mr. or Mrs. Right (or maybe both, we don’t judge here at Sketch Comedy Podcast show) make sure to visit Riana’s website at http://bit.ly/SCPSrianamilne!

Conversation with Riana Milne | The Real Love Guru
Jan 28, 2019
If you are interested in Riana’s services, she is offering listeners of Sketch Comedy Podcast Show a FREE initial consultation on LOVE! Who doesn’t need that?!? Just go to bit.ly/SCPSrianamilne to sign-up!
I love talking about relationships. I talk about them all the time, and I am always curious about them… which is why this week’s guest is so intriguing! Riana Milne was told at a young age that no one in her family was ever going to go to a therapist, so she did exactly what every strong-willed child will do… she BECAME a therapist. Not just any therapist either, Riana became an expert in relationships and how to hopefully fix them, or learn how to move on from them. Riana is also an author of 7 books, including “Love Beyond Your Dreams - Break Free of Toxic Relationships to Have the Love You Deserve” which is a best-seller on Amazon (https://amzn.to/2RmqwUd) and helps couples and individuals navigate the world of successful partnering on her website: www.rianamilne.com. In fact, she is so generous, that she is offering free advice, tools and even an initial consultation to free for us in Sketch Comedy Podcast Show Land! Super nice!
Riana and I talk about relationships, which should be pretty obvious, but we also talk about her dad who was a spy. No, seriously, he was a legit spy, like James Bond, and the stories are INCREDIBLE! We also talk about the 10 types of childhood trauma that you no doubt have experienced and somehow Riana and I find a way to make it lighthearted and fun! Then, we record a sketch because isn’t that the whole point of this show?

We then record the sketch… which is about air conditioning repair. Super important, and we praise those that can fix air conditioners to high heaven when they come and fix our issues, but it is super competitive in Houston and it really brings out the competitive spirit in advertising. We get to hear a number of examples.
And do not forget, please go check out their brilliant satire, or parody, or satarody of true crime “The Wheels of Justice” at https://NRQpodcast.com! It is well worth the listen and subscribe and rate their podcast while you do it as well!

Conversation with Bob and Zipp of the “No Redeeming Qualities” Podcast | True Crime Done Right
Jan 01, 2019
Welcome to Season 3 of the new Sketch Comedy Podcast Show! Thank you for sticking around through the hiatus where I really didn’t do very much podcasting, but spent a great deal of time not doing any podcasting! But, we are back! And this one is a doozy!
I invite Bob and Zipp of the “No Redeeming Qualities” podcast to come on the show and do their brand of humor… it was a unique experience… I was actually a little worried that this was suddenly going to go careening out of control and I was not going to be able to keep it on the rails; but somehow it all worked out and dammit if it isn’t a ton of fun to listen to! “No Redeeming Qualities” is a podcast hailing from Houston, TX and started with one goal in mind: the hosts never shut the fuck up as long as what is being said is funny. I suggest you check out any of the episodes, these two are high-energy and never let off the gas and every episode is a new and delightful experience. (https://nrqpodcast.com)
The big news is that Bob and Zipp are releasing a “True Crime” podcast called “Wheels of Justice”, which comes out January 7th. So make sure to listen in and make it a hit… because it’s true crime and, let’s face it, these are the only shows that are making it right now. Again, make sure to subscribe now to have it hit your feed on January 7th! Listen to the end of this show to hear the trailer for this awesome new show!
We talk about so many things! Some things are regrettable. #squirtrussell. Real mermaids or reverse mermaids? Think about that. Hipsters and their origins. AC repair and a shrine to HVAC. Nike and Colin Kaepernick and who wins. Why birds are the worst pets. Podcasting and why do we actually do it (answer: no one really knows why podcasters do it, not even themselves). Why social media sucks. We do love our fans… we do, really! No matter what we say. NRQ had Ewe Bol on their show because Mr. Bol wants to box Alex Jones. That sentence now exists. What is your dream? The origins of the Astrodome. Pancakes in the butt… how would you do it? We ask all of the important questions. Bob and Zipp did “Squid Week”, which is different from “Shark Week” because it is a different animal. And next episode you get to hear the sketch we recorded!

Special Guests: Bobby Panzarella | Host of the "No Redeeming Qualities" Podcast and Thomas "Zipp" Zipperer | Host of the "No Redeeming Qualities" Podcast.
"No Redeeming Qualities" Podcast — About NRQ
For years, long time friends and creative partners Bob and Zipp said they would do a podcast. They never did.
Until one day Zipp (or Bob, they can’t remember), came up with the idea for a show where the hosts never shut the fuck up, and as long as it was funny, anything goes. No Redeeming Qualities was born!
Based out of Houston, Texas, No Redeeming Qualities is a weekly podcast where commentary and comedy meet. Every episode Bob and Zipp sit down to discuss the happenings of the world. Or movies. Or history. Or whatever they want to, to be honest. Every episode is different, so don’t listen to just one!
“Just a Little Assistance” with Melissa DeSilva
Nov 05, 2018
It would be so nice to just call someone and have things taken care of. Laundry needs folding, call, taken care of. Dinner needs to be cooked, call, taken care of. Kids need to be told they are loved, call, taken care of. Is there anything that wouldn’t be better just calling someone and having someone else just take care of it?
Featuring Melissa DeSilva, mental therapist and master of virtual assistants. You can find out more about Melissa at msmelissadasilva.com

Conversation with Melissa DaSilva | Mental Therapist and Master of Virtual Assistants
Oct 15, 2018
This week’s guest, Melissa DaSilva, is a mental therapist who focuses on the LGBTQA+ community. In addition, Melissa also has a podcast called “PRIDE Connections” (http://prideconnections.com) and is also starting a virtual assistant company for therapists. Melissa also runs a therapist mastermind program. I guess what I’m saying is that this is someone who is so busy, she needs a virtual assistant!
We talk about all sorts of topics, from mental health to the LGBTQA+ community to relationships to virtual assistants to podcasting to finding a dead body… we really cover the gamut here!
All this, and we record a sketch!

"What's That Pedal Do?" with Frisky the Rapper
Oct 01, 2018
Man, I am so glad I didn’t become a band roadie. Don’t get me wrong, I think the idea of being a roadie is cool… the wild parties, the drugs, the late nights and late mornings, the sloppy seconds or thirds… all of that sounds great! The part that sounds awful? Moving the band’s equipment and setting it up.

Conversation with Frisky the Rapper | The One Rapper that can Get You Out Of Jail
Sep 24, 2018
Frisky is Andy Lugo, whose origin story is unlike any other I can think of; he disappointed his parents by deciding originally to not become an artist and, instead, became a lawyer. Yes, you heard that right, it’s not often that a rapper’s side hustle is law but that is exactly what Frisky does. Frisky’s music is a nice combination of a number of genres, you can hear that fusion is his song “Everybody Says Hey” which will be at the end of the episode.
We talk about doing comedy and trying to follow winners of “Last Comic Standing” after a standing ovation, going from law to music, why producing audio is probably the worst, and Frisky also does his best to explain rap to white people! All this, and we come up with a sketch you can hear next week!

Frisky’s new album, “The Frisky Experience” is available September 29th everywhere you can get music. Visit his YouTube page at http://bit.ly/SCPSfrisky and listen to some of his songs and subscribe to hear more!

"It's Pronounced Bazaar" with Matt Javit
Sep 10, 2018
There is nothing better than going to a foreign country and finding completely unique things to bring home. Sometimes they are articles of clothing, or trinkets, or house decorations. Sometimes they are more unique items, and maybe they do not really appeal to our Western sensibilities. Sometimes they are downright offensive and disgusting… you’ll know what we mean after listening to this sketch.

Conversation with Matt Javit | World Traveler
Sep 03, 2018
I envy Matt Javit and his wife, Nikki. They have a passion for traveling and, instead of planning the occasional trip or excursion decided to adopt the lifestyle full-time and now traverse the globe seeing things most people, like myself, can only imagine. They chronicle their travels in their blog at passportjoy.com and talk about all of these incredible things. They also have a podcast, go check it out!
Matt and I talk about what it took for them to be able to take off for a couple of years and how you could do it too! We also talk about the wonderful shopping opportunities abroad… it gets interesting. One thing I learned is that the best part of going to another country as a really tall white guy is that everyone treats you like a celebrity… looks like I have to get some taller heels on my shoes! All this AND we record a sketch!

"$wag $wami" with Chris & Lyndsay Jones
Aug 27, 2018
Have you ever woken up, stared at the ceiling and wondered… “What’s it all for?” You aren’t alone. At some point, everyone comes to a point where they start to question their own existence and what that means to them. Sometimes we need to find guidance in these spiritual questions, so we seek gurus that have done the important work and have laid the groundwork. These spiritual leaders have done the really important work, like setting up a Patreon page and getting Shopify to work…
Featuring real, honest-to-goodness helpful self-help gurus Chris and Lyndsay Jones. You can find them on Twitter at @hugyourchaos and take a look at their fantastic books “You Are the Architect” and “The No Bullshit Guide to Chakras” (http://bit.ly/SCPShugyourchaos)

Conversation with Chris & Lyndsay Jones | Huggers of Chaos
Aug 20, 2018
Christopher and Lyndsay Jones live in an RV. That’s it, that’s all there is… nothing else interesting here. I mean, why did I even… wait, what? You’re handing this to me now? I’m recording this live onto the hard drive, and that’s when you hand this to me? These imaginary assistants are just not very good help, maybe I should actually get some virtual assistants. Okay, what was I saying? Oh, right! Yes, Chris and Lyndsay live in an RV, but they are SO MUCH MORE! The two are now traveling around the country in said RV and helping people through chaos, which they know about. Both Lyndsay and Chris have suffered through depression, and Lyndsay has seen the dark side of addiction. Where lesser people might have just accepted this, these two decided to take it head-on and have come out the other side much happier and living a life that they want.
We talk about not just escaping the chaos of life, but hugging it. We also talk about the shitstorm that is living in an RV… which is a literal statement in most cases. Both Chris and Lindsay talk about their journey, both separately and together, and both talk about the books that are coming out… THIS WEEK! Chris has a book called "You Are The Architect”, a manual for life that you never received and Lyndsay has a book called “The Chakras. A Real-Life, No Bullshit Guide to Healing Your Life” which is about single transferrable voting systems… nope, wrong week… this one is about Chakras… duh. You can get both of these books at http://bit.ly/SCPShugyourchaos
This is a fun one, and there is serious stuff and funny stuff throughout!

“You Were Born for This Role” with Nikki Smith
Aug 13, 2018
“That person is a natural” is the thing you want to say when you are casting someone into a role. It is best when it is effortless, when you can’t tell the person from the role they are playing. That’s what you want as a casting director… unless you are casting for “Se7en”.

Conversation with Nikki Smith | Improvisor, Not-Good Advice Giver and Suicide Preventer
Aug 06, 2018
This episode’s guest was so much fun to talk to. Nikki Smith is an improvisor, theater director, gives really bad advice on life (http://bit.ly/SCPSnikkitellsyou), plays the accordion (badly) and is now helping people who are having a hard time in life get through to the next day (hopefully very well). What I liked best about chatting with Nikki was how much we are similar… we are drawn to improv because we do not like to learn lines, we are both scatterbrained enough that we can’t settle on that one good thing that we are good at. The biggest difference is that she loves cats and I am constantly trying to keep my slacks free from hair.
We talk about improv (duh) and talk about singing improv, dramatic improv, and all of the improvs. We also talk about her trek to become certified in suicide prevention, which is not as easy as just being nice on the phone. We do talk cats, especially her cat, “Derp”, who may have the best/worst name for a cat ever (fortunately, cats don’t understand human humor). Overall, this is a great show and the sketch was a start/stop and redo which is sometimes my favorite.

“Ted Tudor’s Gallant Galloping Horse Contessa’s First Time on a Movie Set” with David Trotter and Tripp Fuller
Jul 30, 2018
It is hard not to get excited by the glitz and the glamor of a movie set. There are the cameras, which you know are capturing the magic happening in front of them, there are the stars prepping for their craft, there are the film crew making sure everything is running smoothly and on-time and let’s not forget the most important, the caterers. And then there are the extras and the occasional animals that are involved, that bring death and destruction to all.
Featuring David Trotter (Director) and Tripp Fuller (Star) of the “best theological fiction movie of all time”* “The Road to Edmond”. It recently had it’s premiere on July 29th and will hopefully be available for viewing to your peepers very soon! Visit theroadtoedmond.com for more information.

Homebrewed Christianity Podcast with Tripp Fuller — Since March 13, 2008, Homebrewed Christianity Podcast has been bringing you the best nerdy audiological ingredients so you can brew your own faith. You will find conversations between friends, theologians, philosophers, and scholars of all stripes. What started as a reason for Tripp to interview the authors of his favorite books has turned into a community of podcasts, bloggers, & Deacons (what we call our regular listeners) invested in expanding and deepening the conversation around faith and theology. We hope you listen, question, think, and then share the Brew!
Previous guests have included Rob Bell, N.T. Wright, Catherine Keller, Marcus Borg, Brian McLaren, John Dominic Crossan, Walter Brueggemann, Bart Ehrman, Tony Jones, Phyllis Tickle, Elizabeth Johnson, Diana Butler Bass, John Caputo, Richard Rohr and many other influential and emerging Christian thinkers.
Conversation with David Trotter and Tripp Fuller | Progressive Christians and Creators of “The Road to Edmond” Movie
Jul 23, 2018
I’m not going to lie, I had red flags. I watched “The Road to Edmond” and realized that it was a Christian movie about 15 minutes in. Let’s face it, I am a heathen and it’s a little intimidating when one is facing two theologians, one of which has a “Dr.” In front of his name. Fortunately, the movie was good, and not just good as in “it’s a Christian movie” good, but actually entertaining and endearing. More fortunately, David and Tripp are incredibly great guys and are progressive Christians, which means that they are inclusive, not exclusive, with their faith and appreciate humanity and humans for being diverse, not shun them for it. These are my types of Christians!
Tripp Fuller also has a podcast called “Homebrewed Christianity” where he talks about faith, theology, philosophy and beer. It’s a really interesting show and a good listen. It’s not preachy, it is very interesting, and I am enjoying it a lot.
You’ll hear about how David figured out a way to make a buddy movie during a literal road trip and how Tripp became an actor on the set of this movie. They also had a chance to completely take over the show and did not use the time to sell everyone on vertical marketing, which was another feather in their cap. “The Road to Edmond” premieres in LA on July 29th at Landmark’s Regent Theatre. Check the show notes to get a link to buy tickets. If you can’t make it to LA… make sure to watch this movie when you get a chance… it will surprise and delight you!

“Hey Dude, Unleash Your Inner Feminist, Yo!” with Tammy Leitzel
Jul 09, 2018
We are truly embarking on a new path for the human race. At no time in our history has there been an opportunity for closing the gender and race gaps, for creating an environment of love and peace and equality… wait, who is president again? Well, shoot… maybe in the next 100 years.
Featuring Tammy Leitzel, who uses bits of her fantastic material from her “Femessence” program in the sketch. You can find out more by going to https://tammyleitzel.com and take her 7-day challenge!

Conversation with Tammy Leitzel | Former Amish Stripper*
Jul 02, 2018
Okay, admittedly, the description of this guest is a little misleading. Tammy Leitzel is a former Mennonite, not Amish (and not really that connected), and she has performed stripping since that time, not during that time. Also, she was never a Mennonite past the age of 18, so maybe that isn’t entirely truthful either… I took liberties, but that is one hell of a headline!
Tammy helps women become playful with their sexuality through exotic dance and pushing each woman’s individual boundaries. Her website, wowfactorchallenge.com, is a great resource to find out if you would like to be a part of her free 7-day challenge to help uncover that special sparkle within you.

"Equal X-portunity" with Miles Stokes
Jun 25, 2018
Diversity is good. In fact, there are few times that having diversity is really bad. It’s good in your diet, to keep things working properly, it is good in education so that people can learn different things, it is good in superhero teams, because different powers can yield different results… about the only place diversity is really bad is in sexually transmitted diseases.

We have trained for this responsibility for decades. We have the backissues, the calluses, and a really detailed map of the Summers family tree. We’ve been explaining the X-Men informally for years–to our friends and family, to the Internet, and, occasionally, to patient strangers on the street. Now, we’re making it official, with Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men: a weekly podcast dedicated to unpacking the weird, wonderful world of our favorite superhero soap opera for newcomers and die-hard fans alike.
Conversation with Miles Stokes | X-plainer of X-things
Jun 18, 2018
Miles is one half, along with Jay Edidin, of the outstanding “Jay and Miles X-plain the X-men” podcast which explores the ins and outs of the increasingly convoluted and incredibly hard-to-follow X-Men comic book universe. Since Marvel and DC are basically the Bulfinches and Aesops of the modern age, understanding the stories and their impacts on our culture is becoming increasingly important and Jay and Miles do a beyond amazing job of helping us unravel their stories in a fun and incredibly well-produced way.
Miles and I talk about facial hair and how unfair that he has locks for days and I look like a newborn baby. We then move on to less important topics like gun control and whatnot. Stuart reveals that he totally accosted both Jay and Miles in line at “Fantastic Planet”. We talk a lot about comics because of course we do, and finally talk a little about his and Jay’s story, transformations, being sex-positive, and overall really interesting and good stuff!

“It’s a Marathon Production” with Nate Dern
Jun 11, 2018
Twenty-six grueling miles of body punishment and for what? Glory? Accomplishment? Awesome selfies? Who knows what it is about marathons that attract us, but we love the spectacle of watching people in incredible shape make their bodies perform at their peak performance and watch as they poop themselves, collapse and nearly die as they cross the finish line.

“Not Quite a Genius” by Nate Dern | The book he wrote! — From the senior writer at Funny or Die and former artistic director at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, a collection of absurdist, hilarious stories and essays on relationships, technology, and contemporary society.
This collection of essays and stories spans a wide variety of topics. There’s the open letter to Charles Manson, the report of a brave archeologist’s journey into a suburban man cave, and a long overdue missive from Leif Erikson to Christopher Columbus. Walt Whitman even teaches a spin class.
Nate Dern’s razor-sharp eye examines modern society and technology, man buns, dating apps, and juicing crazes. Anyone who’s ever scrunched their eyes at WiFi Terms & Conditions, listened to the reasons that led a vegetarian to give up meat, or looked on in horror at the evolving audacity of reality TV will appreciate Dern’s wicked and funny take on modern life.
Nate Dern’s Videos on “Funny or Die” — Sure, he doesn’t work there anymore, but he was involved with some seriously funny videos there. I especially like the Aasif Mandvi sketch “How ISIS Really Feels About Trump”
Conversation with Nate Dern | Host of Comedy Central’s “Every Damn Day”
Jun 04, 2018
Remember that show called “Beauty and the Geek” where they took incredibly hot but maybe not mentally fit women and incredibly geeky and not-necessarily socially amicable men and put them in the same house together to see how they interacted and offered a boatload of money to the final two people that did the best? Nate Dern wishes you didn’t. Mainly because Nate Dern is now an accomplished author, was a senior writer for “Funny or Die”, is the director of content at the upcoming KnewQ website and is currently the host of the upcoming “Every Damn Day” on Comedy Central which is “The Daily Show” but for pop culture and the internet. Nate sounds like a really busy guy, but at the time of this conversation he might have even been wearing a bathrobe. I have great timing!
We talk about his experiences with celebrities at “Funny or Die” and talk about his fantastic book “Not Quite a Genius” and also delve into the website he is helping to develop content KnewQ, which is looking to game-ify the news and make it fun to discover how much of the news is straight-up bullshit! Afterwards, we record a sketch!

"The Blech Files" with Shannon Milliman
May 28, 2018
Mysteries. We love them because they give us something our human minds crave... solutions. We love movies and television that explores mysteries, crime mysteries, medical mysteries, alien mysteries... we are fascinated by what we might uncover! Sometimes those mysteries uncover amazing secrets that will help benefit the world or bring someone to justice, other times we might wish we could put the cork back on the bottle...

Conversation with Shannon Milliman | Failed Supernova and Sensible Job Owner
May 21, 2018
What exactly is a Failed Supernova? Well, a supernova is when a star collapses and releases all of it’s stored energy outward disintegrating everything in its event horizon… so being a failed supernova might be okay! I think what Shannon Milliman, this episode’s guest, means by it is she had the perception as a child she was going to be this incredible force of power and would have a huge impact on the world and instead works a relatively normal job for a normal amount of time and goes home and lives a normal life. So what makes Shannon so interesting? She helps other people deal with being normal and not letting their day jobs suck the life out of them. In fact, she has a talk that she does for groups called 'How not to let a 40 hour work week suck your soul”. Coming up on June 15th she debuts her one-woman show “Not So Supernova” which we talk about during this episode. A link to tickets are in the show notes.
We also talk all sorts of crap (literally) and what it was like growing up as well as what it is like helping other human beings grow up. We also talk about being married to a creative-type person (in her case a musician) and what that means. Then, we record a sketch!

"Red Ring Royalty" with Joseph "Zombie" Zuko
May 14, 2018
The next world war is not going to be the US vs. North Korea, or the US vs. Russia, or the US vs... wait a second, are we the problem? Well, whatever, it isn't going to be global powers, it will be technology powers. Apple vs. Google, US vs. Amazon or something ridiculous like that. Right now, the war raging in most 14 year old brains is which is better, Xbox or Playstation? Maybe it's more than just games we should be considering...
Featuring Zombie Author Joseph "Zombie" Zuko. You can learn more about him and his "The Infected" series of books in the show notes below.

Joseph "Zombie" Zuko's Amazon Page — Click the link to be taken to Joe's incredible zombie tale about Jim and Karen. It is really a fun series and a favorite of fans of Sketch Comedy Podcast Show!
Joseph “Zombie” Zuko is the author of “The Infected” series of novels that tell of the exploits of Jim, his wife Karen, and a very large cast of characters in the days after the zombies attack. I know some of you probably read this as Joe himself was a zombie which is inaccurate, but for dramatic effect let’s just pretend that is the truth. My brains were still intact after this conversation because, according to every ex-girlfriend I have ever had, I sit on my brains because of where they are located.
Joe has also started doing comedic videos called “Zombie Dad” on YouTube. They are delightful and I suggest hitting the link in the show notes and checking them out, they are funny!
Joe is a close friend of mine, and we have a lot of fun getting together and chatting, and this is no different. We did it in the basement of a place we both once worked at and it makes it especially sweet.
Make sure to check out “The Infected” series of books as well as his standalone novel “Sweet Home”. These are great books, fun to read, and especially great as bedtime stories to children before you shut off the light and leave them alone in solitude to go to sleep at night.
Special Guest: Joseph "Zombie" Zuko | Zombie Author.
Language is tricky. Something said in one language might have the intention of sounding like something else in another language, but the subtleties of each word do not always translate from one to the other. It's a challenge that some people take on and can travel the world and experience new things. For others, it makes it really convenient that there is fast food internationally.
Make sure to listen to the end of the episode, where you will hear Sébastien and Stuart recording the sketch raw and uncut!

This episode features someone who can speak 12 languages and counting. That’s a pretty amazing feat, especially since most of the people I know can’t not even complete English sentences not too good. Sébastien Roger de Nuñez, or Seb for those of us languagely challenged, not only looks and sounds like he is totally going to take your girlfriend, he also learns different languages as a means to be able to teach improv to people that speak that language. Did you get that? He puts together complete improv shows and teaches people how to do improv in a ridiculous amount of languages. This makes him a much better improvisor than me, which is why this particular episode is so good!
We talk about learning different languages, traveling, trying not to offend anyone on accident, making up songs, and, of course, improv! We then “get busy” and record a sketch based on language and not understanding very good. That will be a lot more funny once you listen to the episode.
Special Guest: Sébastien Roger de Nuñez | Multi-Multi Lingual Improvisor.

“Come On Ride The Train” with Ronny Pascale | Poop emoji and Associate Artistic Director of The People’s Improv Theater
Mar 12, 2018
Ronny Pascale has been bi-coastal and is really focused on poop. I don’t know why those two things are connected, or why this makes Ronny interesting, but it was a fun conversation to be sure! Ronny has the podcast “Shit Show: The Poopcast” (The colon is pronounced) where he has conversations with other comedians about bowel movements. Yup, you heard that right… the show is reaching new heights for content. Actually, Ronny and I do not discuss our excremental adventures (although, we all have stories, am I right?) but we do discuss his trek from Manhattan to Long Beach, CA which, instead of taking a convenient plane ride, Ronny decided that a 96-hour train ride would be a waaaaaaaay better option. Ronny and I also discuss online dating, because I wanted to get a perspective with someone who has seen both sides of the dating country. We also get to learn that Ronny was once the subject of an article about online dating and, well, it wasn’t flattering.
Make sure to follow Ronny on Twitter, he is absolutely hilarious, and you can do so @ronnypascale. You can also book him to come be funny for you at ronnypascale@gmail.com. You can probably see him doing stand-up around Los Angeles, although I’m sure occasionally he sits down as well.
About this week’s sketch:
Dating is fun. What isn’t funny is that first date, that is some serious business. If you decide to do something like coffee or happy hour, the object of your affection might be underwhelmed and just bolt. If you decide that dinner is the better option, then you might be forced to pay for an expensive meal with someone that you do not really enjoy spending time with. If you decide to go on an all-day hike, you have to actually go and hike and exercise is lame. Whatever you do, you might want to think twice about planning something too grandiose, or you might end up in a situation like this one…
Did you want to show your support for the show, and look awesome at the same time? Well, you can! You can now purchase merchandise with the Sketch Comedy Podcast Show logo all over it! Got a suggestion for a shirt? Shoot it over and we can make it a reality! Just go to http://bit.ly/SCPSmerch and take a look at our wears (see what I did there?)
If you haven’t noticed, it’s taking me a lot longer to get episodes out. So, as an adjustment to the release schedule, I will be releasing new episodes every 2 weeks going forward and on the off weeks I will be putting out classic sketches. That also means more time to enjoy the episodes of your favorite guests! Maybe next episode might catch your fancy, I have Sébastien Roger de Nuñez, which I have no doubt fumbled in saying. Sébastien knows how to speak 12 languages and teaches improv all over the world. It’s a great conversation and a funny sketch as well!
Special Guest: Ronny Pascale | Poop emoji and Associate Artistic Director of The People’s Improv Theater.
Tony Starlight is no stranger to anyone who lives in Portland, OR. His name is synonymous with musical dinner theater and entertainment, an art form that is incredibly relevant yet is not terribly common. Tony’s shows are entertainment extravaganzas: there are songs, jokes aplenty, more songs, drinks, a delicious dinner, songs, dessert, and more songs. Everything in the show is choreographed, and Tony will have themes for the show, such as “Dead Legends” for Halloween or his incredibly popular Christmas Show. When you go, and I know you will, you will get to hear his spot-on Neil Diamond tribute. The one thing you won’t hear? His incredible knowledge of birds in the Pacific Northwest.
Tony talks about successes and failures in business, how to change to do the things you really want to do, living in Los Angeles (and how terrible that is), why Neil Diamond, Marmaduke and, of course, birds!
This is one of the most unique conversations I have had, we recorded in a rowboat on an offshoot of the Columbia River. It was a gorgeous day and we got to see a couple of different birds… we also nearly finished this recording in boat jail…
About this week’s sketch:
Job interviews can be one of the most stressful events for us. We open ourselves to the possibility of looking like we are unqualified. Or maybe they ask the question that uncovers that one thing that exposes you for the creep you are. Or perhaps the question comes up about your mental well-being and as you are thinking the other person in your head takes over and answers for you in a way that makes you sound like you are completely crazy… “No it doesn’t”… Yes it does!!!
Special Guest: Tony Starlight | Entertainer, Nightclub Owner, Lives on a Houseboat.
Beyond the beautiful exterior lies the incredibly talented and immensely interesting Ash Brown. Ash lives in Atlanta and does so many things I couldn’t possibly list all of them here. Okay, I could, but I think it sounds so much better when it doesn’t seem possible to list all of the things. She hosts her own podcast, “Ash Said It Daily”, does public speaking, party and event planning, blogs, and officiates weddings and does so in a timely manner! Recording this episode was a joy and I think you will agree after this delightful conversation that you will want her to officiate your next wedding!
About this week’s sketch:
Mindset. It can change on a whim, it can dictate our mood, and it is the determining factor one whether or not our days are filled with milk and honey or a crap sandwich. It is so important to set your mind early in the morning and put it into a positive space; doing so will lead to prosperous and effective days and a smile as you roll into the evening. Mindset shows everyone around you… “Hey dad?”… What?!? Can’t you see I’m recording? What is wrong with you? You’ve ruined everything and now I have to start over! My life sucks so bad!!!!
Hey! I want to hear from you! Call and leave a message at (207) 200-5993. Why? Why not? If you leave a fun message, I’ll use it on the show!
Next week will feature prominent Portland entertainer Tony Starlight, who has been delighting locals for many years. The best part… we record in a rowboat! Check back next episode to hear us nearly get arrested on the water!

"Welcome to Australia?" with gough | The World’s First Blind Filmmaker
Dec 19, 2017
gough. No, I don’t have a cold, that is the name of this week’s guest. gough is a world-touring comedian, an author and an accomplished filmmaker. Where that would make most people pretty interesting, gough has one more trick up his sleeve… he is BLIND! Did you hear that? He makes movies for the eyes and he is legally blind!!! Not only that, but his films are good! gough runs Beernuts Productions which produces audio, film and books and is currently promoting his latest book, his latest film and his most recent audio dramas… and he STILL had time to do this show. Awesome!
If you would like to rent this space, it’s pretty inexpensive and wouldn’t it be fun to have a message just for someone you know to hear? Or maybe promote something you are doing? And do it for as little as $11? I think you do, and I suggest going to sketchcomedypodcastshow.com and look at the top for the “Pay for Time” link.
Traveling is so much fun! Sometimes you are on your way out to see family, or sometimes you are going to an event or to see the sights… sometimes it’s just about seeing someplace new and you have no idea what it is you are expecting to see! When I travel, I know I do it with intent… to duck creditors.
Thank you again to gough. If you haven’t already done so, go to www.beernutsproductions.com and check out all of gough’s really great entertainment that you can get! He offers a wonderful documentary for free (his first film and the first movie directed by someone vision-impaired) called “I Will Not Go Quietly” which is a little serious, but a majority of his content is right up your alley! Definitely check out his mockumentaries, he has some hilarious stuff in a genre that I never feel gets enough attention.
Boy, it’s been a bit of a sausage-fest as of late, let’s get a woman back on! Next week’s episode will be featuring Ash Brown, an entrepreneur who does almost everything and will absolutely be on time for your wedding. Find out more next week!
Special Guest: gough | The World's First Blind Filmaker.
Beernuts Productions | Buy Short Films Online — This is the main site for Beernuts Productions, gough's production company that produces movies, film, audio and books. He's a busy guy with a lot of content!
I Will Not Go Quietly - Beernuts Productions - FREE MOVIE DOWNLOAD! — This is the FREE documentary and the world's first full-length film directed by someone legally blind! It's serious, but the content is good and you will likely be pulled into this movie about mental illness.
"Where's the Box?" with Colin Gray | Creator of The Podcast Host Academy
Nov 27, 2017
Colin Gray can’t help himself, he tends to get far too into whatever interests him. Sometimes it’s craft beer, sometimes it’s mountain biking, but one of them, listening to podcasts, led to Colin creating an entire academy and community for creating podcasts. Colin helps people take their podcast to the next level, you can go to the podcasthost.com and check out all of the cool things there, including his podcast “Podcraft” and his new, fantastical show “Hostile Worlds”. Colin is also currently working on software that will automate the editing of podcasts… truly we are minutes away from being taken over by the machines.
We uncover the mystery that is “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette. That song went from really stupid to really brilliant very quickly for me.
It’s finally up! Yup! Buy time on the show! You can buy up to 3 minutes at a time and pricing is ridiculously cheap right now. The beautiful thing about it, this pricing is going to go up, in fact, it will likely go up every single week, so buy-in early and take advantage of me!
This week’s sketch:
Come rain, or snow, or zombie apocalypse, we trust our packages will be delivered. Sure, sometimes the package doesn’t arrive on-time, and sometimes it is mis-delivered, but we can always rely on the fact that eventually, through some method, our packages will get to where they need to go eventually. Maybe it’s time to get out of the “Cat in a Box” pet delivery service I have so heavily invested in.
Promoting a podcast? Sure, I think it is incredibly expensive! So, instead of trying to figure out where to spend your money, spend it with me and buy some time on the podcast! Just go to http://bit.ly/SCPSbuytime! These shows are evergreen, so buying in early will mean that people will hear it for YEARS to come!
Next week’s episode has gough! No, that isn’t a word I just made up, gough is a filmmaker and comedian who has traveled all over the place! What makes him special? He is the first blind filmmaker. He is a really interesting and fun guy and you can listen to him excitedly talk about his new projects on next week’s show!

Frank Cardillo likes to perform in front of people and have them laugh at him… intentionally. Frank has been hard at work doing comedy, improv and theater for the last two decades, including Super Bowl XLVIII, Universal Studios, Disney World, emcee at the Sterling Renaissance Festival and is currently the host of “The Improvisor’s Guide Podcast”. We talk a little about baseball, fantasy camps and working in theme parks and end up recording a sketch!
I’ve finally done it! There is now a section on the website for you to buy some time here, in this exact location, to have me shout out something to the world! Maybe you want me to just yell your name, or maybe you want me to propose to someone for you. Perhaps it’s an ad… I don’t know if I really care! Okay, I do somewhat care, and there are certain guidelines that are on the page to sign up. It’s easy to do and there are a couple of other things you can pay me to do as well! For now, this is how I’m going to pay for all of this madness, let’s see if it works!
Make believe. We stopped playing it for the most part as we got older, but I can remember being in my front yard, throwing a ball up in the air and swinging my Wiffle bat trying to connect and imagining myself in the clutch during the World Series. I also remember grabbing sticks and imagining they are swords and fighting dragons. As I’ve grown older, I see my kids play make believe, and I see my son doing the same sorts of things that I used to do… man, I hope I didn’t look that goofy.
I like to make suggestions for podcasts to listen to after you are done with this podcast. I need some help, I am out of podcasts that I actually listen to! If you have a podcast you would like me to suggest at this point, please send an email to sketchcomedypodcastshow@gmail.com and let me know what show you think more people should be listening to!
Next episode’s guest is going to be with Colin Gray, a podcaster’s podcaster who helps poor shlubs like myself make these silly programs. He has a great podcast called “Podcraft” that will either help you start or make your existing podcast better. He also launched a very cool and very popular podcast called “ “. They explore different planets… It’s so cool!

"The Creature and These Whack Baffoons" with Ben Fancher | Indie Horror Movie Producer and Director
Nov 06, 2017
Have you ever had that dream that you wanted to direct and write the movie that you always wanted to watch? I bet you have, you’ve imagined it, but you haven’t done a single thing to get it done. This week’s guest, Ben Fancher, is absolutely going to make the horror movie of his dreams… and he works a retail job during the day! You can just hear the excitement and passion in his voice as he talks about building this movie. I for one am really looking forward to it! You can connect with Ben via all the social media channels to keep up with his progress , link is at the bottom of the show notes.
Let me tell you my favorite thing about this show: all of the episodes are still really listenable. Make sure that if you like this show, or don’t like this show, you can take a look at all of the past episodes and maybe you can find something else you like! Head to sketchcomedypodcastshow.com and just scroll down the page!
Business opportunities abound all around us. See a need, fill it, and you can get rewarded handsomely for it. There are times that those business opportunities are not successful. Sometimes those opportunities are just downright stupid… but enough about Windows Phone.

This week I suggest going back and listening to a couple of this show’s most popular episodes that you might have missed!

Special Guest: Ben Fancher | Indie Horror Movie Director and Producer.
Jason Marshall has stories. On his podcast “We Don’t Have Cookies” he talks with guests each week about strange news stories from around the world and life in general with guest segments from a wide variety of people. I’ve been a guest twice! (Episodes in the show notes) Jason and I talk about living in a car, comedy, and, most importantly, “Father Time”. You have to listen to find out more, and why “Father Time” is far scarier because of FaceBook. Then we record a sketch about “Father Time” himself! After this episode, please go check out the episode that I was just on to find out who the “Dumbest Person in the World” is this week!
Look for the “We Don’t Have Cookies” episode released on October 22nd… because you will know one fo the guests for sure! Hint: It’s me. I’m on the show. Check the show notes below, but make sure you subscribe because it’s a really fun show even when I’m not on it!
This week’s sketch:
When the phone rings, are you excited to grab it? Do you run to the phone in hopes of hearing from a loved one, a friend, a lover, or maybe you like answering the phone and hearing from that adorable girl that always informs you that you have been selected to participate in a vacation getaway package… Regardless, whatever your reason, it is still pretty much a crapshoot as to who is calling you. Sometimes you get unlucky and it turns out to be the person who actually owns the phone.
This week’s podcast you should listen to after this podcast (and now also after listening to “We Don’t Have Cookies”) is a suggestion from previous guest Eric Ackerson, who really likes the Armstrong & Getty Podcast. It is a podcast based on a morning radio show in the Bay Area which has comedy, news, etc. I have not listened to it yet, so I hope this isn’t just morning fart jokes but, even if it is, fart jokes are always funny.
Next episode is going to feature Ben Frasier, who is going to produce and direct a full length horror movie… while working retail! Hear more about that and our fun monster sketch next week! Oh shit, why didn’t I do this as a Halloween episode! D’oh!

Armstrong & Getty Podcast — Suggested by previous guest Eric Ackerson:
The hugely popular weekday The Armstrong & Getty Show is wildly entertaining, informative and laugh-out-loud funny, with a mixture of political commentary, observations on local, national, and international news and reflections on social issues. Armstrong and Getty’s comedic delivery, great guests, and super-charged on-air personas have made The Armstrong & Getty Show a morning addiction for Bay Area talk radio listeners.
wedonthavecookies | SHOWS — The Best Chicken
This week on the show Jason talks to improv podcaster Stuart Rice on the first half of the episode. They make history with the first ever guest's choice dumb*** of the year with the choice between a woman who baked a cake for an officer who arrested her with "sorry I tried to bite you" written on it and a California restaurant owner who proudly serves another restaurant's chicken.
Cartoonist Sam Dealey drops in for the second half of the episode. They talk about what is going on with the cartoons for the the podcast's Facebook page, Sam's autism, a This or That scenario and the return of the sweet or psychotic segment.
This week's guest segments are a song by Mike Phirman called Sketchy Dudes and Dave Nelson with Fake Advice for New Comics.
"Book of Love" with Eric Ackerson | VP of Marketing in Consumer Electronics
Oct 23, 2017
This week’s guest on the show is someone who has seen me, literally, at my worst. Eric Ackerson is someone I met in the mid-90s and we spent a great deal of time during these very formative years. Drinking formative years, so that meant that there was a lot of learning and then a lot of forgetting. We both worked at the same company (Fry’s Electronics), we both had the same sort of career trajectory, but Eric did it right and found himself as a vice-president at a cool consumer electronics company. Meanwhile, I don’t know if anyone at the company I work at even really knows my name. Eric dishes all the dirt on me, and then we record a sketch about dating. Man, there is a lot of dirt on me.
Just to keep you up to date, there are some new enhanced versions of the sketches found on YouTube. They really are cool and I love that there is a visual companion to these sketches.
This weeks sketch: When you are looking for love, you will look for it anywhere. Maybe it’s in that weird smelling bottle you bought from that old gypsy lady at the bazaar. More than likely, you will find the answers you seek in a book. Knowledge is power, which is why it’s so important to read as much as you can and learn from other’s expertise and experience. Or Tinder. Tinder also works.
The podcast suggestion of the week is “We Don’t Have Cookies”. Every week, host Jason Marshall has people who are really funny on his show to talk about some of the weird things that happen in the world. It’s really good, and he has really funny guests on his show. I have no agenda in suggesting that you go listen to his show at all…
Next week’s guest is a crossover event! Jason Marshall has a podcast called “We Don’t Have Cookies” and I am a guest on his show on Monday, October 23rd! So, if you haven’t heard it yet, check the link at the bottom.

You have, no doubt, seen her acting skills in such movies as “Bikini Jones and the Temple of Eros”, “Cleavagefield” and “The Hills Have Thighs”. You haven’t? Are you sure? I’m pretty sure that you have had that night where nothing else was going on and you put HBO, Cinemax or one of those and caught a glimpse of this week’s guest Rebecca Love. Rebecca is an adult film actress who has been in over 60 films as well as guest appearances on Howard Stern. These days, she is more into doing other types of performances, such as stand-up and improv and has her own podcast called “Talking Dirty” where she and Joclyn Stone talk about the adult film industry. Don’t bolt to go listen yet, this show is pretty outstanding for that as well, and you can get a link to Rebecca’s show at the bottom of the show notes.
If you need a visual enhancement to your sketch listening, you can head over to this upstart website that is good for moving pictures… it’s called YouTube or something. Anyway, if you type in “Sketch Comedy Podcast Show” in the search bar, you can subscribe to the channel there and get notified about all of the new ENHANCED versions of the sketch! What makes it enhanced? Well, these videos actually have pictures that go along with and make the sketches funnier! Give it a shot! In fact, the sketch for this week is one of these enhanced videos so if you love it, please click “Subscribe” and let me know you want more!
Remember the first time you got behind the wheel of a car? It’s such an exhilarating experience, much like the same feeling one gets with a first sexual experience. Sometimes those things go hand-in-hand… and yet somehow cell phones are the worlds worst thing in a car.
Every week I like to suggest a different podcast to listen to after this one. This week, I’m going to suggest a podcast called “Escape Pod”. “Escape Pod” was one of the first podcasts that I originally downloaded onto my cool, pack-of-gum size iPod Shuffle back in the day. I love this show, because it brings really good, really cutting edge science fiction, my favorite genre, in less than an hour. They have great authors and fantastic readers. This week’s episode is “Ms. Figgle-DeBitt’s Home for Wayward A.I.’s”; I have not heard it yet but you can bet I’ll be listening soon!
Next week’s episode features a friend from a long time ago, Eric Ackerson, who is more than happy to completely embarrass me with stories from our youth… I would love to tell you not to listen but I have a feeling that now that I have told you how bad Eric makes me sound, you will no doubt listen in. It’s okay, it was time to lose this identity anyway.

"Don't Forget to Swipe" with Thilo S. | Social Engineer
Oct 08, 2017
Thilo is someone that I happened to meet on a social media app called Shapr, which is a version of Tinder that focuses on business connections and not hook-ups, although I think I’ve had more luck finding dates on Shapr. Thilo is a social coach that helps people get over anxieties by pushing their comfort to it’s furthest limits, like if you had a fear of approaching people, Thilo might have you go up to a table in a restaurant and ask for a bite of someone’s food. He also makes coffee in his Vitamix, which is really cool and delicious!
How do you like ads? Hate them? Me too. I would, however, be really interested in hearing from you! Here’s what I’m thinking: How do you feel about giving you the reigns to the podcast for 30 seconds? You could tell everyone a quick story, send out a message, create a personal ad, ask someone to marry you… just something unique right in this spot! There will be a “Buy Airtime” link on sketchcomedypodcastshow.com where you can see the rate card! Get your voice heard on Sketch Comedy Podcast Show!
Pavlov found that behavior can be triggered in animals and in humans. For instance, we hear a dinner bell ring and all of us looks around and wonders who the hell is ringing a bell and what does it mean? Or if someone says “hey, let’s make a run for the border” and we instantly all get a stomach ache and diarrhea for the next couple of hours. Or the fact that everyone within earshot just rolled their eyes at this entire introduction.
Each week I like to suggest a different podcast other than this one that I think would be a great idea to go check out. This week I am going to suggest a podcast called “Talking Dirty” starring Rebecca Love and Jocelyn Stone. It’s a podcast that talks about the sex industry, which we all are a little curious about, and it just so happens that Rebecca and Jocelyn are both just fun to listen to as well! Check out their podcast “Talking Dirty” https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/adult-film-star-network-podcast/id945146033] Links to the show on iTunes in the show notes.
Oh, and speaking of talking dirty, Rebecca Love of the aforementioned podcast as well as many adult films will be the guest next week! How about that for a segue?

"Custom Job" with Sean McCabe | Author and Inspirational Entrepreneur
Oct 01, 2017
I first became exposed to this week’s guest, Sean McCabe, through his website [seanwes.com] one night while searching for something to keep me from just quitting this show. I needed a boost, and after searching around on the web, Sean’s website came up and I signed up immediately: it was encouraging and driving at the same time, and the guy on the camera, Sean, was so relaxed and personable I couldn’t help but be convinced that I could continue doing this show and maybe even be successful at it. And you know what, things are going really well! Sean is now an author, and after finishing his book, “Overlap”, I can highly recommend going and buying it IMMEDIATELY! I would especially suggest the audio book, because his relaxed demeanor and positive attitude is really brought to life. You know what, I’m not doing a good job selling him, he does a much better job and I suggest visiting his website [overlapbook.com] to read more about him, buy his excellent book, sign up for his amazing online classes, and generally become a huge fan of him and his philosophy as I have.
If you aren’t just a little inspired and excited after listening to Sean, I don’t know what it’s going to take. I would like to inspire you do do something though! I want to donate a bunch of money to the Hurricane Relief fund, but I need your help. I need you go to iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Overcast, Player FM…. Wherever you listen to podcasts and leave a review. A short one even. For every review I get I will be donating $1 to the Hurricane Relief fund, and I’m willing to donate a lot. So be generous with 5 minutes of your time to leave a review, and I will be generous out of my pocketbook!
Do you ever order something off of the menu at a restaurant? You know what I mean, it’s something that sounds good, but it has mushrooms, and you hate mushrooms so you order the meal without the mushrooms? You’ve totally customized your meal, made it more suitable for yourself! Did you know you can do that almost everywhere in life? Any time you order something, a lot of times you can get it perfectly fit just for your needs and for your desires… and hopefully there isn’t any phlegm in it!
Not sure if you know this or not, but Sketch Comedy Podcast Show wound up in the top 200 for Comedy Podcasts last week on iTunes! It was short-lived, but it was fun to see this show above Adam Corolla and Penn Jillette for a bit! I love to pay it forward and suggest podcasts from other people so that they can hopefully have the same thing happen. This week, I would like to suggest heading over to iTunes or your favorite podcatcher and downloading “The Dirty Bits” podcast. It’s a really fun show that explores all the dirty bits of history your teacher probably left out. The latest episode continues looking at the Tudors… there is a lot of dirty bits to explore here and the host, Tawny, does a great job doing so. Go check out the podcast AFTER you finish this one and hit the subscribe button, I think you will enjoy it!
Next week, I have Thilo Savage, an interesting guy I met on a professional connection site (that’s Tinder for business), who specializes in getting people to step out of their shells and do bizarre things in public. We got along really well!

Overlap – Start a Business While Working a Full-Time Job | seanwes — This is the book by this week's guest, Sean McCabe. No joke, this book easily could change your life and make your dreams come true.
Overlap: Start a Business While Working a Full-Time Job | Go from overwhelmed and feeling stuck to getting clarity and creating financial freedom.
Apple Airpods Headset — Straight up, Sean suggested these were "an extension of myself" and I bit the bullet and bought some. He was not lying. These things are amazing and I absolutely suggest picking up a pair and listening to "Overlap" on Audible through them.
The Dirty Bits Podcast — History can be hilarious and is ever-changing. There are new discoveries all the time that continuously give fresh and interesting commentary. Learning the personal and intimate details about historical figures gives a deeper understanding of the motivation behind their actions that helped shape society for generations, and gives humanity what can sometimes seem like unrelatable historic figures. It’s also entertaining as hell to imagine people typically portrayed in a stately manner doing the equivalent of drunkenly calling out all their friends on twitter….I’m looking at you, John Wilmot. Learn how Warren G Harding nicknamed his genitals, or how Anthony Comstock had an enormous influence on the United States’ puritanical views on sex!
Each week, join Tawny Platis for her casual re-tellings of the sexy, scandalous, and salacious stories your history teacher likely left out while her husband, George, takes care of all the tech stuff and occasionally weighs in with the proper use of a naughty word.
"Oh, I Get It… Because I’m Green" with Edward Noil | Cosplayer Extraordinaire and Podcaster
Sep 24, 2017
Edward Noil is a fellow podcaster, independent wrestler and an amazing cosplayer. He never misses a con and never misses a chance to enthusiastically talk about his favorite things… which just so happen to be things that you would find at a conference focused on comic books or other things: anime, movies, Transformers… honestly, I loved talking to Ed because his enthusiasm for all things geeky is infectious. He speaks with the same fervor as my son, which in hind-sight would make a really great podcast on it’s own! Ed runs the “Points of Interest Podcast Network” [https://pointsofinterestpodcastnetwork.podbean.com] which focuses on all of the things that Ed loves and it’s a lot of things, there are 25 shows on the network!
You know is wonderful? The updated YouTube channel for Sketch Comedy Podcast Show! Here is the best part, this is going to be the place where every sketch this show produces will be.

Honestly, it’s pretty slick and there are no ads on there right now, so get on and you can listen to hours of comedy absolutely free. Head to [http://SCPSyoutube] to subscribe and start listening!
Mistaken identity… ever experienced that? It’s really strange when someone mistakes you for someone else, because what happens if you just go with it? What sort of adventures would ensue if you just took this other person’s life and started living it? I can just imagine what that person would say if they ever found you mimicing them… you know, “Leggo my Ego!”
I really like to promote other podcasts, and this is one that I really don’t need to promote because they already are doing incredible, but this week’s show to listen to after this show is “Jay and Miles X-plain the X-Men” [http://www.xplainthexmen.com]. I suggest starting all the way back to episode 1 and then getting a subscription to Marvel Unlimited so you can follow along with them. Not only are they really in-depth with their look at the most feared super-hero team, but they are also delightfully witty and are not afraid to tackle the topics that surround the mythos of the X-Men… racism, sexuality, robotic infections… all of it. Give them a listen and I am pretty sure you will thank me later.
Next week, I am excited to say that I have Sean McCabe, author of “Overlap” on to talk about finding one’s passion and turning it into a day job. Hopefully I can follow in his footsteps, and so can you!

"Strike That Pose" with Kara Cooper | Professional Photographer and Author
Sep 17, 2017
My friend Kara Cooper joins the podcast. She is a photographer who does all sorts of really great pictures: wedding pictures, professional head shots, nudes. Lots of nudes. In fact, she has a book of nudes! It has a happy ending! Kara’s book is actually really beautiful, she invited people to really open up and try doing something a little beyond what they were comfortable with. I really like her photos and still plan on using her for my tasteful nudes (you will find out why on the show). If you have a wedding, need a headshot or portrait, want pictures of yoga or, as mentioned before, a nude, she can absolutely help you at [karacooperphotography.com].
By this time, all of the sketches from Season 1 should be on YouTube now! I know that some of you prefer just hearing the sketches, and I totally understand! So, the YouTube page for Sketch Comedy Podcast Show is the place to go and do that! There are playlists for Season 1, Season 2, and I will finally be putting all of the content from the original Sketch Comedy Podcast Show as well! How can you get there? Go to YouTube and search for Sketch Comedy Podcast Show or visit the website [sketchcomedypodcastshow.com] and find the “YouTube” link at the top!
They say that eyes are the cameras to the soul. Or windows. I’m not sure I really understand the statement, but I need to put something in this place so that it looks like I care or something…… oh yeah, cameras. They are great for capturing moments! Sometimes people are really, really good at taking pictures, and will do it for other people who are not so good at it. We call those people photographers! It’s a good thing we have taste-makers, because if we didn’t could you imagine how horrible photography would be? Imagine a world where ANYONE could have a camera on them at all times and be able to share their terrible photos to everyone. What a nightmare that would be.
Every week I like to suggest a podcast to listen to after you are done with this one. This week I… man, it seems like I have been offering a lot of nostalgia lately, anyway… this week I suggest “Radio Max FM”. Why do I suggest “Radio Max FM”? Well, it’s a pretty slickly produced podcast that combines elements of good, old-fashioned radio, independent rock and hip-hop and comedy, this is a great place to scratch that itch! It’s a brand-new podcast, so it will be fun to see how it changes over time! Go to [maxfm.libsyn.com] to listen, subscribe and more!
Rose City Comic Con was this last weekend, which meant that there were a lot of people dressed up like a lot of things in Portland. So, next week, I have nearly professional cos-player and fellow podcaster Edward Noil on the show to talk about dressing up and how it ain’t easy being green.

"Take Me To Your Boy Band Leader" with Mike Phirman | Musician and Comedian
Sep 03, 2017
Mike Phirman is a fantastic songwriter of comedy music for kids (not kids music, HUGE distinction. Seriously). I have been a fan of Mike’s since I heard “American Dinosaur”
and “Anything”
with his band “Hard ’n Phirm” with Chris Hardwick, and saw him perform live here in Portland a couple of years ago with my oldest daughter (her first concert and she actually liked Mike more than headliner Jonathan Coulton, but don’t tell him that in case he is ever on this show). One of the things I really like about Mike is that he is really genuinely nice and was just so pleasant to talk to. Also, I surprise him at the end of the conversation, but he was a really great sport about it! Just to be clear, I was actually really nervous doing this recording, because I am kind of a big fan. Also, we recorded two sketches! The second one will have to wait until the end of the season, but there is something to look forward to!
Do you like free money? I know you do, who doesn’t? How about a lot of free money? Look, I won my fantasy football league last year and yes, I’m using it to brag, but there is a much easier and less expensive way to make money… REVIEWS OF THIS PODCAST! And, not only am I planning on giving away money, we get to see who is actually the better fans… Apple or Google! How does all of this work? For the next week (that’s September 3rd to September 9th), for every review I get for this podcast on either Apple Podcasts or the Google Play store, I will add a dollar to a pot. At the end of the week, I will randomly pick a review from whichever side gets more reviews and send a gift card to that person for the amount of reviews that I get. Don’t fret, I’m planning on doing this multiple times and, if it is successful, I might just do it on a weekly basis! So share the links and let’s get some money flowing!
They descend from the heavens and awe us with their superior technology and bizarre mating habits, extraterrestrial beings (also known as aliens, but I want to make sure not to offend anyone, or thing, or in-between) will one day come and take their dominion over our planet. Sound bleak? It does now, because movies and media have all been doing a very good job of convincing us that aliens like to destroy buildings and do bizarre mating rituals. But in fact, if they were to really conquer the planet, aliens would target the one weapon that would finish us all… pop stars… then maybe do bizarre mating habits with them.
Well, I don’t know if they will be great improvisors, but I can tell you that I mentioned winning my fantasy football title last year, and I had to add the hashtag #FootclanTitle because it was because of my listening to Andy, Mike and Jason of “The Fantasy Footballers” ( https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com ) that helped me make the right decisions for my draft, keep an eye on the waiver wire and, most importantly, kept me up to date AND entertained! These guys are great, give phenomenal advice and someday I even hope to get them on the show! If you are at all interested in fantasy football, or want to understand what all this crazy fantasy football hype is, this is a great place to start! I’m obviously very excited about this season of Sketch Comedy Podcast Show and another chance to win the coveted “Pattenburg” trophy again!
Next week, in episode 32, I sit down with my friend Kara Cooper, a photographer that likes to take pictures of people with no clothes on and we discuss the decoration that I am going to be adding to my fantasy trophy. Hint: It does not involve pants.

"Sultry Single Radio Hour" with Donal Connolly | Host of "Behave Yourself" and Scholar
Apr 09, 2017
Watch the sketch on YouTuber here!:
Humans do all sorts of weird things, which is why this week’s guest, Donal Connolly, creates his podcast “Behave Yourself” (https://itun.es/gb/RZRQhb.c ) to get them all figured out. With a little bit of psychology, sociology, anthropology… well, all the ologies, Donal and his co-hosts explore why we do the things we do. Also, he has an accent, which makes what he says more interesting and more believable. Yes, I fall prey to that. We talk about his educational endeavors, what it’s like to date overseas vs. here in the US, and then we record a sketch about all those things!
Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s right around the corner. That’s right, Season 2 of the new Sketch Comedy Podcast Show is almost upon us, and we are VERY excited about it. To celebrate, we are going to have a review drive, so that we can get some serious review numbers and we can give away something really cool! We are also going to solve the question of which company is better… Apple or Google! At least we will solve the question of which listeners are better. For the week of the first episode’s release, whomever leaves reviews in Apple Podcasts or Google Play Store for our show has a chance to win a gift card for $100 for that particular store (or Amazon, or wherever you would like)! It’s a review! Hit the 5-stars, write something nice, and you’re entered! The winner will be announced on Sunday September 10th! I know, originally we were going to do charity, but I feel like people can use a little something for themselves, I’ll figure out the charity thing later. Here’s what I need you to do, write the review, take a screenshot of it on your phone, like our Facebook page and post the review on there, that way I know who you are! Thank you in advance for the reviews!
Technology really does enrich our lives, regardless of what anyone says. Think of how much our lives changed when the wheel was invented… maybe that’s too far back, what about the radio. Originally created for to sole purpose to melt people’s minds from a distance for the military (I’ll find my sources later) Marconi found it was also good for beaming voices from one place to another. The radio allowed all of us to come together over a Little Orphan Annie radio show, experience sporting events we would only dream of being able to listen to in real life and eventually evolved into call-in talk shows and conservative talk radio! On second thought, maybe we would be better off without it…
I like to talk about other shows, but in, like, a good way. So this week I want to highlight a show that was suggested to me called “Department of Understanding Humans”. (duhwebsite.com) Described as a podcast about life, the universe and everything I had to check it out. Though there are no posed questions to the answer “42”, there are a lot of jokes and funny things said. Honestly, I don’t know if they have solved any mysteries, but Rachel Reese and Kristian Meyer have guests on the show and talk about things. It’s a fun show and worth checking out AFTER you listen to this show!
Next episode is going to be a best of. I really have to get to work on it, like, right now.

"Take Me to Church" with Jimmy Asbell | Author and more than a Survivor... a Thriver!
Feb 26, 2017
Watch the sketch on YouTuber here!:
Let me tell you about Jim Asbell. Not only is Jim one of the best people I ever had the pleasure to work with, he saved my tookus more than once and helped me realize I was probably working in the wrong place, but he is also just a fantastic human being. What makes him fantastic? Well, he is one of the last people to have polio… wait, that doesn’t make him fantastic, that just makes him have polio…. Well, he is also dying from stage IV colon cancer! What the hell am I talking about? That doesn’t make him fantastic, that just makes me sad. Oh, I know what I meant to say: even though he has had hardship from the time he was very little, and got the rotten luck of getting cancer later in life, he approaches these things with more zest and gusto than I deal with someone at McDonalds getting my order wrong. Jim is so dedicated to living life to the fullest, and having other people do the same, he wrote an amazing book entitled “Live Well With Terminal Illness and Other Crappy Diseases” (buy a copy here: http://amzn.to/2miEt9t and all proceeds are donated to cancer research). Not only is it a good book to read if you are dying, it is a tremendous read for anyone who is feeling particularly stuck in this world. You have no idea how good you have it, but Jim does and let’s you know you are wasting it. Not only that, but he does amazing portraits of pets! (jimmy-asbell.pixels.com). Oh, we talk about all the things, and we also record a sketch which had my jaw on the floor… Jimmy knows how to party!
Honestly, I usually try to talk to you about something blah blah blah about this podcast, but you really should read “Live Well with Terminal Illness and other Crappy Diseases” it is really good. You can even get the Audible version! That’s how I read it!
When we need spiritual guidance, where is the first place we turn? The internet, of course! After getting caught in a YouTube spiral for three days the next place you go is to church. Church is the place where we reset the moral compass and get our souls back on track. We seek counseling from our church leaders and listen intently to their well-crafted and loving sermons. Well, most of the time. Actually, I haven’t been to church in a very long time and that’s actually been pretty good for me, except it’s harder to get casual sex.
We love podcasts and we know you do too! We also know you love this podcast best, but there are other podcasts to listen to. One you could absolutely choose to do that with is “Designated Drinkers”. Do you like drinkers who drink? Of course you do! That’s what this podcast is about!
Looking forward to the next episode! Alisha Holland comes back to the show and we do a sketch pitching the newest in exercise tools, the “FitBit Truth”.

"I Got That New-Time Religion" with Jim Greenfield | Host of Conservative Talk Show "The Decline and Fall of America"
Feb 19, 2017
Watch the sketch on YouTuber here!:
Stuart invites the nororious radio host Jim Greenfield onto the podcast. Jim has been fired from the radio 7 times, which is the same amount of times that Rush Limbaugh has been fired, the biggest difference is that Rush Limbaugh earns $32M a year. Jim is also a conservative talk show host, but has decided to give up on radio and start his own podcast, called “The Jim Greenfield Show Podcast”. Let’s see if he can become the first person ever fired from his own podcast. Although Stuart doesn’t agree with ANYTHING Jim says, it is still a good discussion.
Note: The recording session had some technical issues (okay, Stuart’s computer ran out of power so they had to record on his phone) but it doesn’t take away from the interesting conversation.
It’s going to be a great next couple of weeks! Stuart is working on the new episodes and is continuing to record with interesting people! Do you happen to know someone who is interesting? Suggest them! It’s easy, just send us a message on Twitter @SketchComPod or on Facebook (just look up Sketch Comedy Podcast Show) and you can suggest someone you would like to hear, even if you don’t know that person yourself. Or, even yourself! We here at Sketch Comedy Podcast Show really want to make the show you want to listen to, and your participation is key to that!
About this week’s sketch: From ancient times to today, humanity has been guided by one thing and one thing alone. This thing has driven millions to make decisions based on the faith that humans hold in this influential force. Temples and places of great importance have been erected in celebration of this one thing that drives men and women and keeps them in-line with the rules and dogma that are taught them. Religion? Nah. The thing that really drives people… greed.
Here at Sketch Comedy Podcast Show, we understand that you have a lot of podcasts demanding your time. And we have to say, you made a good choice with this one! But, if you need something else to listen to until the next episode is up, we suggest the “Bombs Away” podcast. Why? Because Jonathan, Kallan and Jarrett watch bad movies and then tear them apart. We are big fans of podcasts that allow us to know what is really dumb about things without actually having to suffer through them ourselves. Find them on Apple Podcasts or go to https://bombsaway.podbean.com
See you in the next episode where I invite another Jim, this time author Jim Asbell, to come onto the show to talk about death and more religion… It is a LOT more fun than you think! This upcoming episode easily has the most jarring and shocking line ever!

"We Can Manage Our Way Through This" with The Sprocket Podcast | Portland's own Podcast about Bikes and Everything Else!
Feb 12, 2017
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
The Sprocket Podcast (@SprocketPodcast) consists of Brock (@brockmon) and Aaron (@RdHareAmngHrses, Aaron is a bike in this… he was not very bike-like when we met, but maybe he was in disguise) . The Sprocket Podcast is a podcast about bikes, transit, life, and all sorts of good stuff in the wonderful world of Portland, OR. We had a lot of fun recording in their recording RV… I have to say I am a little jealous. We talk about all sorts of things: podcasting, Portland, management… the important things! Then, we record a really clever sketch. It was a ton of fun!
Just another nice reminder that the new season of the podcast starts September 3rd! It’s going to be a hum-dinger of an episode! I don’t know if you’ve ever dinged a hum, but I have to tell you, it’s much better than if you don’t! Also… reviews! Subscribe and review!
In this week’s sketch: They are mentors, guiding us through our careers and making us better workers, and people, in the long run. Whether they are directly telling \ what to do, or just simply there to cover our asses when we screw up, managers can be fantastic. Unless there is a problem. Then they are a complete waste of time and money.
This podcast exists because of other podcasts, and sometimes we just want to talk about different podcasts. You shouldn’t listen to just one, but if it is going to be just one this one is the right choice. If you are looking for something a little different though, this week I would suggest “Forgotten TV”. “Forgotten TV” is a podcast about TV shows from the 70s and 80s that really does a good job of scratching that nostalgia itch without actually having to go back and suffer through watching a lot of the shows. One thing I will say about nostalgia, it’s usually best left in your head. However, “Forgotten TV” is fantastic because the host, Chris Cooling, does all of the work for you and all you have to do is listen and fondly remember where you were when you found out who shot JR. Go to Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/SCPSforgottentv or http://forgottentv.podbean.com to subscribe!
And, while you are there, sneak over to our page and give us a review! Thank you very much ahead of time!
Come back for the next episode where I invite conservative talk show host Jim Greenfield to do the one thing we all want to do… start a religion.

"It’s All in the Bag" with Katie BBB | You would never guess what she does in real-life.
Feb 05, 2017
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
Stuart invites his friend Katie BBB to the show and… holy shit it turns out great! We solve swamp ass, discuss artificial intelligence and how pissed off it will be when it awakens and realizes how much we have sexually abused them and foo foo bags… we will leave that to the episode to describe it. We then take all of that and create a sketch.
Seriously, this might be @Stoopac’s favorite recording session. It was almost lost to the world, but somehow he found a way to hack his system to find the audio. It is good that happened, it would be a tragedy if this was lost to the world!
Are you liking the show? Then stop sitting there twiddling your fingers or keeping your hands on the wheel safely, head over to Apple Podcasts (bit.ly/SCPSitunes) or Google Play (bit.ly/SCPSgplay) and leave a review now!
We all know one thing, pregnant women are smug as shit. And why wouldn’t they be? Think about it, a woman and a bad, drunken decision can result in the miracle of child birth. Frankenstein tried to make life and see what happened? Frankenstein’s monster went on a murderous rampage killing most of those in front of him. That was a warning to us all, that we shouldn’t meddle in the laws of nature.
Did you know that Sketch Comedy Podcast Show has a blog? You didn’t? Shame on me. There are neat little articles about being a guest, podcasting, and all sorts of things. This upcoming season, it is going to be a place where you can hear about each episode and how it was formed. Head over to sketchcomedypodcastshow.com and take a look!
Next week’s episode is a really big fan favorite as I team up with The Sprocket Podcast and we have a really fun time recording in a travel trailer!

"Wanna Join a Band?" With Aaron Ryder | Sex-positive and the most energetic person... ever!
Jan 22, 2017
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
This week, Stuart invites his friend Aaron Ryder onto the show because Aaron Ryder is unique. Unique in a way that is delightful and refreshing. He wears two different shoes all the time. He wears a necktie regardless of whether or not he is wearing a shirt. He is not an actor, but finds his way to stages because that’s the type of guy he is. Aaron also has some AMAZING FUCKING STORIES! He shares a couple of these stories, one of which will be told on stage in this year’s “Mystery Box Theater” coming up in August a show in Portland that is well worth your time and money (and, if you happen to go, you will likely see Stuart there).
So, for this part this week I am going to ask you for a favor. Maybe you’ve been listening for a while, or maybe you are new, but I want to get a nice “best of” for Season 1 and would be fascinated to hear what you out there in podcast land feel are the best bits so far. Is there a part of a conversation that was awesome? Or maybe you have a favorite sketch? Send them in! Let me know and I’ll compile them for Episode 30! Connect via Twitter (@SketchComPod), Facebook (sketchcomedypodcastshow), email (sketchcomedypodcastshow@gmail.com), or even that old-timey way of communicating the voice phone (207-200-5993). If you are driving or I spoke too fast, this info is also in the show notes or on the website.
Our favorite thing in the world are reviews… okay, first money then reviews. But we do love reviews! So much so that on September 3rd, this podcast is going to have a contest for the internet where you get to vote for the most important thing on the planet… who has the best Podcast store? Is it Apple Podcasts or Google Play? You will help get to decide! Follow us on Twitter or Facebook and find out how you can cast your vote AND give money to charity without needing to do anything but click and type a bit!
Also, make sure to come back next episode with my friend Katie BBB so we can discover what an ovipositor is! (Hint: it’s an alien sex toy and it’s a real thing)

"Foreign Culinary Delight" with TJ Wichman | World Traveler
Jan 15, 2017
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
Stuart welcomes his friend and world traveler TJ Wichman onto the show. In his first meeting of TJ, Stuart knew that TJ was an interesting guy and he was not wrong. TJ has spent a lot of time circling the globe, knows a number of languages and has probably lived in whatever place you can imagine. TJ is also a big fan of reggae music and, quite honestly, is often the circle peg trying to fit into the square hole; but he is so disarming and interesting people are still drawn to him. Because of this, Stuart feels he is a kindred spirit. Stuart is definitely hoping to see TJ’s face on National Geographic because that’s where he should be.
Have you subscribed to the podcast yet? If not, it’s a good time to do it before September 3rd. I know I’m hitting everyone really hard with reruns just trying to get all of the old episodes updated and up on the new site, but I’m really loving this new format and I hope you are too. While you are subscribing, if you could leave a review, that would be fantastic! Or, better yet, wait for September 3 to September 9 where we are going to do a review drive and Stuart plans on giving away a lot of money to a charity! Keep in touch for more details!
And now, Sketch Comedy Podcast Show presents “Foreign Culinary Delight with TJ Wichman”
Have you ever shared the show on Facebook, or retweeted the link on Twitter? Doesn’t take long and you might actually really make someone’s day if they are looking for something new to listen to! There are share buttons in iTunes, Google Play, and on our website sketchcomedypodcastshow.com. It’s fun, easy, and you will absolutely help save an endangered species. What’s the connection there? Chaos Theory. Can I explain it? No. If I could I probably wouldn’t be making this podcast you should share with all of your friends.
The next episode features Aaron Ryder, a friend of mine, who has a story that is sort of like “Pretty Woman” but is a lot more twisted and scary! You’re going to love it!

"Totally Appropriate Audition" with Laura Welsh | Actress and Director
Jan 08, 2017
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
This week brings the lovely and talented and… okay, to be honest Stuart has a little bit of a crush on this week’s guest. Here’s the story: after the episode with Kelly Guimont, who is also quite amazing, Laura Welsh liked the tweet and Stuart saw her red hair and was curious and checked out her profile for, you know, professional reasons, and noticed that she was a local actress in Portland. So, in the most non-creepy way ever he contacted her to see if she would be interested in doing the show! And, after doing a background check and having Stuart go through a battery of psychological tests, she was! It was a really fun conversation and during it we find out a lot about auditioning, acting, and that Laura is in a really great relationship… which is good. No really. I’m really happy for them. Go to the website under “Guests” and you can be a total creep… er, do some research yourself! She has an IMDB page and, embedded there, is her short about online dating which is really funny!
And in this week’s sketch: we can all agree, auditions are the most exciting thing about being in the entertainment industry. It’s like going for a job interview, over and over, every single day and most of the time you don’t get the job. It’s a great way to learn about ones self, especially how far one will go to finally land a fucking job already!
So you think you can dance…. Well, I’ve seen your moves and I’m not sure that’s the case. But, I can tell you that you can be interesting and, if you decide to come onto the show, you can be funny too! Are you an interesting person? Do you know an interesting person? Is there someone interesting you would like me to have on the show? Let me know! I am constantly looking for people that are interesting to have on the show. Notice I didn’t say funny people, I didn’t say entertaining… just interesting. If you have a story or a job or a hobby, or just something that not everyone does or, maybe you are just a normal human being, that works too! Go to the website sketchcomedypodcastshow.com and click on “Be a Guest!” At the top of the page and fill out a very short form and you might hear your voice on this podcast! Well, not this one, but a future one. You know what I mean.

"There is No Cure" with Alisha Holland | Co-Creator of "Sketch Comedy Podcast Show"
Jan 01, 2017
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
Alisha comes back and does a recap of 2016. We talk about people dying and how Stuart thinks it’s kind of ridiculous that people get all worked up about when someone dies. The sketch reflects how ridiculous our obsession with this is.
As we get closer to the launch of Season 2 of the new Sketch Comedy Podcast Show, I offer a challenge! What is better, Apple or Google? iOS or Android? Blackberry or Windows Phone? Just kidding. Actually, here is what the challenge is: If you are an Apple device user, go on to Apple Podcasts or iTunes and leave us a review. For every review posted September 3 to September 9 I will donate $1 to a charity. If you are a fan of Google and Android leave a review on the Google Play store and I will donate $ to a charity. How do we determine the charity? Whichever side wins this battle of the internet forever, a random reviewer will be picked and the entirety of the donation will be given to that person’s desired charity in their name! How easy is it to make this donation? All you have to do is go on and review! Costs you nothing and you help make the world a better place!

"Request for Leave" with Tom Flynn | Surprise guest and incredibly interesting!
Dec 18, 2016
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
This was an interesting episode! What makes it interesting? Well, it was the first time Sketch Comedy Podcast Show made it onto the radio (okay, the first and only time), the final product was played at a fundraiser in front of over 100 people (and yes, it got laughs), and the entire thing was recorded and edited in one day for a podcast competition. It was also recorded, then lost, by yours truly and so I had to rerecord and re-edit the entire thing twice. It was may stressful, but the end result was fantastic!
My guest on the show is Tom Flynn, who was at this same competition with me. Tom is interesting in many ways; not only was he the oldest person in the room but he is also over 70 and decided to leave his incredibly successful career to START SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW! AT 70! It was mind-blowing! Also, he had been in the military and actually had to write to President Richard Nixon to get out of the military. Just awesome stories from Tom, and it was a lot of fun presenting this to everyone at the fundraiser!
Speaking of fundraisers… I am not going to be asking you for money. I’m not looking for funds, I’m looking for reviews. So, if you don’t mind, get over to Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Player FM, TuneIn Radio, or wherever you listen to this crazy podcast and please leave a favorable review. I want to read your review on the air! How about this: the first 5 people to do a review on the show will get a clever, handwritten “Cards Against Humanity” card from me. I’ll customize it and make sure that it is hilarious! Just send me an email with which review is yours and your address and expect something really messed up on a card!

"Nostalgia for Christmas" with Joseph "Zombie" Zuko | Author of "The Infected" Series of Books
Dec 11, 2016
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
You know what you need in the middle of the summer? More Christmas! This week’s guest is Joe Zuko, who is an increasingly popular author of “The Infected” series of books (which is, unlike so many other of the other books released these days, about zombies. To be fair, this is a really good and really entertaining series of books that I highly suggest. Joe is a close friend of Stuart’s and was the other co-host of the “Shotgun and Scotch” podcast along with the guest from the 6th episode of this podcast Josh. This episode is a lot of fun and the sketch maybe ran on a little long, but I loved it.
Okay, so one of the things I absolutely love is social media. No, really. I know, it sounds like I’m being sarcastic, but I REALLY love social media. Actually, I do. It’s fun when it is working! And how do I define social media working? Connection and conversation. So, if you like to social media, we have three really great ways to interact right now! Okay, two ways to interact right now and one I am trying to get my mind around. However, if you like connection (and I know you do!) here are the best ways to do that with Sketch Comedy Podcast Show!

"Steamy Conversation" with Kris Keppeler | Host of the "Does This Happen To You?" Podcast

Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
Fellow podcaster and #PodernFamily member Kris Keppeler joins me in recording. Kris has a show called “Does This Happen To You?” where she explores the bizarre ways of getting through your day. On the show she reads really interesting articles from Medium. Kris is also an actress, and has been in a couple of horror movies. You can find out more about Kris on our website at sketchcomedypodcastshow.com in the guests section.
Speaking of which, the new site is awesome! The episodes are front and center, it is incredibly easy to see what is new and to go back and listen to past episodes, and you can even use this site to subscribe to the podcast or get to our YouTube page. But, I think the coolest are some of the other features, like the ability to download the transcription of the podcast (what?), to get more information and bios on our guests (whaaaat?) and even leave us feedback (Whaaaaaaaat?!?!) or leave us a small or sizable donation (WHAAAAAAT???!!!!!????). I know, I’m excited too!

"Can I Interest You In a Mattress?" with Super Fan Bob | The Biggest Fan of the Podcast
Nov 27, 2016
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
Super Fan Bob joins Stuart for this episode. Bob Rhodes is a friend of Stuart’s in the real world and they both work in the same industry… you probably won’t be able to guess what industry that is. Bob used to be somewhat internet famous when he did stuff with Woot! and had a channel on Justin.TV… what’s that? You don’t remember Justin.TV? That makes you and just about nearly everyone else under the age of 40.
How do you spell relief? Is it r-e-v-i-e-w-s? That’s how we here at Marathon Productions spell it at least. Do me a very quick favor. There are a number of you listening to these older episodes and for that, I thank you! Now, if you could do me a favor and touch the screen of your phone and go to the show notes and, if you scroll down you are going to see a couple of links. Click on the link next to the way you like to listen! Now, there is someplace on that destination that allows you to leave a review. I appreciate all of the reviews we have received, like the one from Winterbotton titled “So funny”: “What a funny podcast. I really love it. I can’t wait to listen to more episodes.” No exclamation points, but I am pretty sure that they were intended… If you would like to hear your review here, you have to post one so… get posting!

"(De)Motivational Speaker" with Dave Bullis | Host of the Film-Making Podcast "The Dave Bullis Show"
Nov 13, 2016
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
Dave Bullis (@Dave_Bullis) of the, get this, “Dave Bullis Podcast” (DaveBullis.Com). I know! How amazing that he happens to host a podcast that has HIS NAME IN THE TITLE! That’s what I call Serendipity… which I would imagine Dave would agree with me is by far the GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!
No, I doubt he would, but he would definitely tell me why it is not. Dave is a film maker and film enthusiast who has the highly successful Dave Bullis Podcast where he talks to filmmakers and other people in the industry for people that are interested in knowing more about the creative process and the technical aspects of making persistently changing images (which is a really douchey way of saying movies).
What is your favorite way to listen to the podcast? Is it iTunes? (bit.ly/SCPSitunes) is it Stitcher? (bit.ly/SCPSstitch) Could it be you want to try something completely different and actually see something while listening? Head over to the official Sketch Comedy Podcast Show YouTube channel (bit.ly/SCPSyoutube) and enjoy seeing our artwork come alive through the Ken Burns effect on iMovie and, dare I say? (Dare, DARE!) Video of our guests doing the show! What’s your favorite PART of the show? Is it the sketches? Then go to our Sketch Playlist and BOOM, you get nothing but the sketches. Do you prefer hearing the stories and conversations with the guests? BOOM! You can go to our Recording Sessions Playlist. Wanna hear them both? Go to the main playlist on the page entitled “Episodes” and enjoy! I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out. Still a work in progress, but who isn’t?

"Inside a Record Store Circa 1992" with Steve Cox | Lawyer and Theater Director
Oct 30, 2016
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
Hey Everyone!
The guest this week is my friend Steve Cox, who is a lawyer fighting for people’s living places during the day and is a playwright, comedian, producer and author during the evening. He is just finishing up on a book he is working on now, but took some time to sit down with me (it is very, VERY precious) and connect about working in music stores in the 90’s. We share a lot of the same taste in music, and a lot of that taste was developed in the now-defunct stores we worked at.
I love to connect with everyone, and here, let me help you connect! Contact the show on Twitter @SketchComPod, visit us on Facebook at http://facebook.com/sketchcomedypodcastshow, or email us at sketchcomedypodcastshow@gmail.com. You can also just go to our site, sketchcomedypodcastshow.com, and find the feedback button and do it there. But honestly, the best place to tell me what you think about the show is leave a review on http://bit.ly/SCPSitunes or http://bit.ly/SCPSgplay or http://bit.ly/SCPSstitch or http://bit.ly/SCPStunein. All reviews help and all reviews help the show get better! Thank you ahead of time for all of the reviews, I know you are going to help me hit my review goals and this baby octopus that I have swimming in my guest bathtub will absolutely not have to worry about me letting the water out slowly as I stream it live to everyone who doesn’t review.

"Everyone Loves the Goonies!" with Kelly Guimont | Tech Journalist and Fellow Podcaster on "The Aftershow"
Oct 23, 2016
Listen to the sketch on YouTube here!:
Hey Everyone!
This week’s episode features Kelly Guimont (@verso) who is a tech journalist, fellow podcaster and also one of the heads of an organization that I absolutely adore: App Camp for Girls. App Camp is a summer program for young women for the sole purpose of teaching them how to code… with no boys allowed. You can learn more by going to appcamp4girls.com and I wish very much that I would have forced my daughter’s to go. Unfortunately, they are both too old now, but it’s not too late for your daughters. I’m just a rotten parent.
I’m getting super excited about season 2 of the new Sketch Comedy Podcast Show. I’m still looking for guests, so if you know someone, are someone, or can think of someone you don’t know that you feel would be great on the show, let me know! I need to contact 100 people in the next couple of weeks, aspirational guests from many walks of life, and wonder if I can get some help on people to do this show with. I have some really great guests coming up and I look forward to those recording sessions.

"DADvice" with Ken Hansen | Director of Youth Social Programs
Oct 09, 2016
Listen to the sketch on YouTube here!:
Hey Everyone!
This week I invite a friend of a friend onto the show, Ken Hanson. Ken started having children REALLY EARLY in life, so all of his adult life he has been dealing with his own kids (and exes) as well as other people’s kids in his working life. I like this episode a lot because it is all about the conversation and just having a nice, relaxed conversation (that may get interrupted by one of his kids).
I recently started a new company, Marathon Productions, LLC. This is really exciting for me, because this makes creating podcasts actually like a real thing! I am also helping other people start podcasts. The first podcast I am helping with is a conservative talk show… which is waaaay out of my wheelhouse but it is fun creating and crafting a new show and new format. If you know someone who is looking for help in starting a podcast and would like to learn how to effectively produce, publish and market a podcast (I sell myself short often), just let them know about Marathon Productions. Or, if you are thinking about starting one, maybe this will help! Here’s what I am willing to offer: mention the podcast and I will offer a free 20 minute scheduled consultation! My rates are ridiculously low right now, but as soon as I start getting successful they are going up, so get in on the ground floor now! Simply email marathonproductionsllc@gmail.com to get started.
And now, episode 11: “DADvice”

"This Debate is Masterful" with Margaret and Ali | Podcast Hosts of the “I Can’t Even” Podcast
Oct 02, 2016
Listen to the sketch on YouTube here!:
Hey Everybody!
This week’s episode is a threesome! Now that I have your attention, this episode features myself as well as Ali (@ali) and Margaret (@marg) of the “I Can’t Even” podcast, the show that discusses adulating as an old millennial. They tackle such topics such as relationships, politics, women’s rights and even dick pics! You can catch their podcast on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-cant-even/id1163280696?mt=2&at=1000l8hH. I don’t know why people complain about millennials, these two were fantastic!
Just a warning, the sketch is one of the shaggiest of dog stories we have ever done. It’s going to be really confusing until you hear the last line, then it might be worth listening again to really get the funny out of it.
Every week I get on here and tell you something new and exciting about what I’m doing or about podcasts or whatever. This week, I am going to ask you to reach out and touch your phone! See the artwork for the podcast, did you know that if you tap on it the show notes for the show pop up? Go ahead and try it! See, now you are reading and listening AT THE SAME TIME! Mind-blowing, I know, but the other nice thing is that you can scroll to the bottom and get all of the other ways that you can connect to the show. Drop us a line!
And now, episode 10 “This Debate is Masterful”
We discuss desserts and how Hungryman is not an okay dessert, especially if you get a picture of an amazing dessert from your wife who is eating out that night. Because it was close to the election, we discuss the first presidential debate from 2016, so we discuss that quite a bit. Stuart gushes about their podcast which he finds out is no longer in existence, but we get to hear about Margaret and Ali’s new podcast. We discuss how difficult it is to come up with content for a podcast… so all podcaster’s should get paid handsomely for their work, right? RIGHT!?! We learn more about Brad and Angelina then Stuart expected to ever learn.
The sketch this week is a debate regarding the most important subject on most of America’s minds…

"I Dream of India" with Amber Peeler | Stuart's Daughter and fan of "The Walking Dead"
Sep 25, 2016
Listen to the sketch on YouTube!:
Hey Everyone!
This episode was one of the most special and was ultimately one of the most frustrating episodes I ever recorded. After living on a farm in an intended community my daughter came back and had really opened her mind to a lot of things that allowed her to become one with the universe and really find herself at 19. I thought it was fascinating. Amber, my daughter, on the other hand was really uncomfortable talking about any of it. So, we recorded this episode 3 times and ignored any of the things that happened at the farm. That’s okay, because of the Walking Dead!
It’s still a really fun episode and Amber is just delightful in the conversation and with the sketch.
There is a new section on the website for feedback. I love feedback. I love it even when it’s just someone trolling and telling me to eat my own dick. So, click on the “Feedback / Donation” button on the bottom of the page and really let me have it. Also, while you are there, if you feel like it’s worth throwing some money at the show, this is a really easy way to do it through PayPal. I’m not asking for subscriptions, just if you like the show and want to show some support it will, of course, be greatly appreciated.
And now, episode 9 “I Dream of India”
Stuart evidently doesn’t understand how to make podcasts. The Walking Dead is the one things that binds generations, and is basically the equivalent of crack. Amber and Stuart evaluate their skills and their ability to live during a zombie apocalypse. Maybe Stuart solved the zombie apocalypse, but he would be dead. They play a lot of “what if” in the zombie apocalypse. Basically, they were both very excited for the new season. Stuart decides that he needs more international listeners and guests. The two discuss education and how inaccurate history could be. Amber wants to go to India, but she really couldn’t tell you why. TV is nothing like reality… or is it? Ultra violent scenes in movies is evidently an aphrodisiac for Stuart and his girlfriend.
The sketch this week puts a highlight on what people know about other countries when they decide to go there. It’s not a positive story.

Hey Everybody! Thanks for tuning in! Maybe you even did it from TuneIn Radio, which is great because you can tell Alexa that you want to hear our show just by asking for it!
For this episode, I established that I really wanted to find interesting people for the podcast. In my humble opinion, there is no one I know more interesting than my friend Adelaide. Adelaide spent 20 years of her life traveling and not having a permanent residence, so she has a story about literally everything. EVERYTHING. Whatever the subject matter, she has some twisted thing that happened to her, or that she witnessed, or that she witnessed happening to someone or herself or… you’ll understand once you get into the episode. She is absolutely lovely and I think you will really enjoy getting to know her, I know I have.
Did you know that that the nicest thing you can do for a podcast is to give it a really great review? In fact, let me give you an example of a really great review right here! This comes from chipnico on iTunes: “Pretty Fun Show (5 stars) Fun sketch comedy podcast. Not your normal podcasts. Cool to hear different sketches and really good production value.” I can’t disagree!
And now, enjoy episode 8 “The BEST Accommodations”
Adelaide is a friend of Stuart’s that is really interesting. Adelaide is having a bad day because of the girth of a refrigerator. Stuart got the benefit of Adelaides’ amazing neighbors… they are ridiculously wonderful neighbors. Feeding multiple birds is much better than killing multiple birds. Stuart’s neighbors are not as wonderful and his back deck was christened with a golden shower. Adelaide is amazed about what gets on tv. Adelaide does not like the term “terrorist”, but she might have been in Nicaragua training people that might be known as “terrorists”. Borat as a movie hit a little too close to the mark… Adelaide may have dated him. The amount of dollars you spend on a place to stay is DIRECTLY related to how nice of a place you are going to stay. Nothing like a bunch of old men staring at your shower door. Adelaide’s dog piss story is, indeed, a better story than Stuart’s. Evidently the cash crop for the world… eggplant. Stuart hears about Adelaide’s story and suddenly wants to jump off of a building. Period blood has many uses. The Lord’s work is all about taking kids or something. There is nothing better than using one’s own poop to craft a weapon… something Minecraft hasn’t used yet! We dare you to eat corn after this episode. Has anyone gone to the college with the “banana slut” mascot? Stuart was prom king (humble brag). Olive Garden on prom night! Adelaide was in a beauty pageant, but had to bow out because nature called. Graduations make people feel proud of themselves and sometimes that is okay!
This week’s sketch is about finding a good place to stay when you are out of town on a budget. Not only will it save you money but it might also save your sanity!

"Kreative Kheerleading Kompetition" with Alisha Holland | Co-Creator of "Sketch Comedy Podcast Show"
Aug 16, 2016
Watch the sketch on YouTube here!:
Alisha comes back (or forward, depending on how time works for you). She’s fun, she co-created the original show, blah blah blah.
First off, apologies for the apparent vacuums that are coming out of our faces. This was an episode where the technical difficulties definitely overwhelmed us, which is why this is kind of a lost episode. For some reason, Alisha’s audio vanished, but after a lot of processing I was able to get it back. Why did I spend so much time on this? Because what a delightful conversation about Stuart’s anatomy, Alisha’s horrifying movie experience and more! Then, we use a thing that happened at one of Stuart’s daughter’s cheer competitions to come up with a sketch.
Season 2 is going to be great! I’m really excited about it! So far I have assembled some pretty fun names and pretty interesting people. The season is going to start off with a great sketch with Mike Phirman of “Hard ’n Phirm” fame. There are a number of songs of theirs that I absolutely adore, especially “Anything” It is one of the most inspirational songs I have ever heard… for some. New season debuts September 3rd! Just in time for back to school!
In celebration of @Stoopac’s daughter, @aleyriice going to the Cheerleading National Championships (#NotSoHumbleBrag), we revisit an episode that was lost about a year ago! During one of the competitions from a couple of years ago, there was a team that competed using a cheer that included the phrase “white is our power” and then there was a whole Trump cheerleading thing that happened and… well… it resulted in this sketch. Alisha did a really good job coming up with cheers on the fly.
When I think of the podcasts that really influenced me in starting my own, I have to look to the stars, and one of my favorite podcasts of all-time “The Improvised Star Trek”. I love this show so much. Follow the adventures of the USS Sissyphus and their fearless(?) Captain Julius Valentine Baxter as they traverse the universe on their 5 year mission to… um… I am pretty sure they have a mission, don’t they? Beam down new episodes to your phone and listen to the group improvise their way through an entire episode of Star Trek based on a show title they get from their audience. It is brilliant, and the sound design is fantastic as well. (http://www.theimprovisedstartrek.com)
Next episode is the final re-release of the Summer ReRuns. I’m not going to lie, I’m glad I finally got a chance to remaster and reconfigure the show this way but I’m excited to get to the new stuff! Listen in next time to my parent’s favorite episode with Donal Connolly… it is super special because he has an accent!

"Fitbit Truth" with Alisha Holland | Co-Creator of "Sketch Comedy Podcast Show"
Aug 15, 2016
Watch the sketch on YouTuber here!:
So this episode and the next episode feature Alisha Holland, because we had episodes we had recorded and never released. This one was full of conflict during the recording of the sketch, so if you like awkward silences filled with anger, make sure to stay past the credits! Though we were not connecting on the recording of this sketch, it turned out awesome!
There is a YouTube channel we believe you should be visiting, and it’s the Sketch Comedy Podcast Show channel on YouTube! (bit.ly/SCPSyoutube) It’s kind of great, and getting better all of the time! Stuart is constantly adding new sketches (okay, constantly is maybe a bit far-reaching) but will definitely be encouraged to do so if there is some traffic! Visit sketchcomedypodcastshow.com for a link directly to our YouTube page where you can listen to individual sketches, recording sessions, and then complete shows! However you like to get your Sketch Comedy Podcast Show, YouTube has it!
It’s not enough to run, these days you have to be able to track that you were running as well. What we are trying to say is, if I can’t share on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter why would I do any physical activity at all? I just realized that Facebook, Instagram and Twitter spell FIT. How appropriate! Seriously, the only reason to do exercise, so I can exercise at other people and make feel like lesser human beings. “An unexamined life is not worth living.” was said by someone at some point, I would look it up but since no one is tracking how I use the internet, what’s the point of that?!?
Can we talk about something? I want to talk to you about something called “natural ability”. Now, I personally have the natural ability to literally say the weirdest thing at the weirdest times. For example, I was talking to someone recently and she said “I imagine us like a mix between ’50 Shades of Grey’ and… um…” to which I replied “‘All Dogs Go To Heaven’?” Maybe I should work on my game. But I know of one man who has amazing natural ability to say lots of words that sound good together in complete stories that are really insightful, intelligent and, more importantly, downright hilarious! His name: S. Anthony. The show? The appropriately named “S. Anthony Says”… take a listen, you will not regret it.
Next show is another Alisha show recorded long, long ago, like almost 2 years ago long, long ago. It is so strangely and eerily appropriate right now…

This is one of my favorite all-time sketches that Alisha and I did, I think it is fantastic and really just well executed. Sometimes some of my favorite humor is when a character gets into a really uncomfortable or awkward situation and sees his or her way through it, this is not one of those cases. Also, the punchline on this sketch was perfect.
So we have finished migrating the podcast over to the new service, iTunes has been updated and now you can actually see our delightful artwork in Apple Podcasts and hopefully everywhere! That has been a thing I have wanted so badly for so long!
Also, I want to really quickly read a review from someone and urge you to jump onto whatever service you are using and give us a quick 5-star review. If you do, I will absolutely read one at the beginning of every episode! I would really appreciate this, I would like to get at least 100 reviews by the end of summer, so I need one a day… you could be the one!
Also, do you happen to have an amazon echo? If you do that’s great! You can actually just ask Alexa to play “Sketch Comedy Podcast Show and she will totally do it!
And now onto Alisha and my discussion about spider gender and feces… totally classy! We also record a sketch about our deepest, darkest fears…. Muahahahahaha-ahem… enjoy this week’s show. And don’t forget to stick around after the show to hear us improvise the actual sketch!
Zootopia is a remake of a classic sci-fi movie. Stuart gets attacked by a spider and then Alisha and Stuart try to figure out the spider’s gender. This episode was out of the space-time continuum, and should have been released before last week’s episode but go check that one out too because Dr. Kiki! Alisha did something called Questival which is a 24-hour scavenging hunt; Alisha learns how to become a true a**hole about it. Alisha officiated a wedding and did not sleep for 39 hours so she could legally kill someone; Stuart ruined said wedding and would have been a good victim. Summertime is terrible because kids require things. The sketch is fantastic. Pooping is never an option while sexy time, but sometimes it might be better than trying to race home. A smorgasbord of feces ensued. Forks should never be the tool one uses for plumbing. Alisha and Stuart decide the best upgrade for any toilet is a blender.
The sketch this week taps into our deepest, darkest fears… you know, like an unreplied-to text.

This week, we go back to the laboratory and try something different with the format of the show, as was suggested by friend of the show Jason Marshall (@jasonmarshall2) who he himself has a great podcast called “We Don’t Have Cookies” (URL) which Stuart has actually had the pleasure of being on (you can listen to that episode here: URL). So we are going to call this the Marshall Initiative and see if you like it better. I think it makes the most interesting parts of the show front and center and am pretty sure it will be a crowd favorite as well.
We start off with the conversation between Alisha and Stuart. Stuart gets offensive in the introduction. Alisha went to the coast to a casino for her birthday played the inside and won! But still won’t put any money into the show. Stuart should never play craps because he causes people a lot of pain. Stuart is “huggable” and he wants to cry. Alisha and Stuart agree that Paul Rudd is the ultimate; Alisha talks about her dream Rudd hug and Stuart feels sexually confused. Dane Cook… that’s all. Stuart teases the new format of the show… and look what happened! It’s really funny that we talk about formats and are still trying to figure it out. Alisha was depressed for her birthday and then went to a Bernie Sanders rally and took it upon herself to annoy other people by trying to keep them safe. Stuart went to a massage-a-tois event… listen to get info. Stuart won’t go to a nude beach by himself anymore because he had a REALLY bad experience and now understands why women don’t hang out at pools and beaches by themselves. Alisha reminds Stuart of how lickable his balls are and it reminds Stuart of another flattering story about them. Warning: There is a story about Stuart going to the nude beach and things go awry. We talk scales, like how people would superficially judge other people, and Alisha ranks Stuart above average; Stuart smartly doesn’t even approach this subject. The two play the “essence” game, which is just as pretentious as it sounds like.
The sketch: As if it could be possible to become MORE superficial, the brilliant minds behind the Tinder app somehow find a way to get the app even more addictive… regardless of the effects on your soul.

Hey everyone! It’s the second episode! Once again I am lucky to have Alisha Holland on the podcast with me and we have a great time coming up with a sketch about childhood dreams gone awry.
Also, you are invited to come and check out the new website! I love it! It’s a combination of the episodes, a blog, and it’s all wrapped up into a tidy little package. If you are thinking about starting a podcast and would like some tips, please go to the new website and contact me and one of the things I will suggest is finding the right podcast hosting company… I finally think I have done that.
And now, enjoy episode 2 “I Want a Pony”:
During the recording session, we talked about all sorts of good things like #DuckFetish #OnFappingPond and other things related to water fowl. Alisha gets older. Send us money, or send money to Bernie Sanders, either way, if you match Alisha’s age in money to either get at T-shirt! #HipsterEmo - The hipster that knows too much, and Stuart’s new Halloween costume. Alisha and Stuart converse about great bargain stores #BargainAlley. Alisha celebrated her birthday and played bingo. Stuart crumbles to peer pressure. There was almost a Dukes of Hazzard moment which leads to a weird interaction with a cop. A phrase that should never be used on a nude beach is discussed. Gross kid stories are discussed. Alisha believes John Cougar Mellencamp and Prince are the same person. She is going to LOVE that statement. STD checks make you a virgin again. The sketch recording is, quite possibly, the most tense and uncomfortable moment on the podcast… Join us for it!
Childhood dreams are great, until they come to reality as adults.
When we are children, we spend most of our days and hours just dreaming about two things: our birthdays and Christmas; unless you don’t celebrate those things. But for most of us, those are the two things we focus on. Our entire brain is consumed with magical visions of amazing gifts… and then we usually just get gift cards. Childhood is pretty dumb.

"One Night Stand" with Alisha Holland | Co-Creator of Sketch Comedy Podcast Show
Jul 24, 2016
Listen to the sketch on YouTube here!:
Welcome to the first episode of Sketch Comedy Podcast Show! Well, not the first episode, but the first episode of the revamped Sketch Comedy Podcast Show.
So what changed? Well, we found out that people like to hear the discussions that lead to the sketches, so we decided that should be part of the show. Then, we decided that instead of doing four sketches in a week, we went with one a week. Lastly, it felt like it was time to start inviting other people to be on the show finally, so we decided to do that.
Then, my partner on the podcast, Alisha, decided it was time to take a hiatus. It was a bit of a crisis, because I didn’t know what to do… suddenly I was forced to make a decision: Do I carry on and talk into a microphone on my own or do I wrap up the show and be done with it?
Then, I realized that the show could exist, but it couldn’t be the same. It never really will be, and I really love the show Sketch Comedy Podcast Show was, but to be completely honest, I love this new version so much more.
The reason? It’s about finding people, people who are not what you would normally expect to hear on a comedy podcast like scientists, lawyers, other podcasters, everyday people doing extraordinary things, and making them incredibly vulnerable by asking them to do something that terrifies most people: being funny. But somehow, they do it and it is fucking amazing.
So join me in applauding the people who decided to take the plunge and do so gracefully and, more often than not, hilariously. As you listen, if you feel like you could do this and you are also an interesting person, please let me know! There is a spot on the website (sketchcomedypodcastshow@gmail.com) at the top that states “Be A Guest” (https://form.jotform.us/71530480274149) Click on it, fill out the form, and let’s start talking!
This first episode, and there are a lot this season that continue to do so, stars the lovely, talented, and one of my best friends Alisha Holland. You will understand why she was so integral for the genesis of the show as you listen to this first episode and you will no doubt look forward to hearing her every time she is on the podcast.
And now, enjoy episode 1 “One Night Stand”
Alisha evidently really likes romance novels. Stuart no longer trust secondhand desks at work. Don't allow Alisha to housesit for you #OnOrOff. Alicia is the worst/best at Facebook. Spiders out your pee-hole or scorpions out your butt? Either way: #SpiderNudes #SpiderNudes! #ArachnoPussyPhobia! 911 dispatch sounds like a great way to find the next place to score. May the 4th might be the dumbest day for the dumbest jokes. Then, they finally record a sketch.
We don’t want to drudge up any bad feelings or memories, but we’ve all had that night. You know, the night that you meet that great person at the bar and then you go and have a great time with that person, and then NEVER TALK TO THEM AGAIN? Actually, that doesn’t sound so bad, but sometimes the feelings are the hardest thing to get over… and the required testing afterwards. This week’s sketch explores those feelings afterwards and tries to find the answers.
