Episode 92.Final Episode

I hope everyone is well. I try to make this episode light, but I just wanted to detail my experience with covid from when I contracted to my current condition. I think its important for me to give my condition and tell people because I'm sure some people still don't know anyone who's had it. Please everyone be careful. It all happened so quick. Respect this thing, but stay calm. Thanks for listening!

Episode 91. I got Covid!

I'm joined this beautiful Sunday by the one and only Kelly Ryan (@thisiskellyryan). Kelly is a fantastic comic and one of the my favorite people to talk to. We discuss her rough times in comparison to this situation, how social media is screwing everyone up, and getting stuck in sexual situations. It's a blast. Please go follow her even though she is off the gram and twitter for a minute. She's one of the most genuine humans I've met and someone I believe has a huge future in entertainment. Thank you all for listening! Stay safe!

Shapel is one of my closest friends in comedy and someone I consider to have a huge amount of emotional maturity. In this moment when everyone seems to be losing their minds, I wanted to hear about his process and the tests he's faced in his life and the last 4 months. Please go follow him, and reach out to him. One of the kindest and most talented humans I know. Thanks for listening and stay safe!

Back! I hope everyone is doing well and not losing their minds. I'm joined today by the multi talented Niles Abston (@thenilesabstonshow)! Niles is a comic, filmmaker, cartoon creator, screenwriter...his resume is ridiculous and makes me want to kill myself. On this episode we talk about his previous open mic, race relations and the restructuring and rearranging of racism in our culture, police, comedy, growing up, embarrassments...we do it all. Niles has an album out called "Girls Don't Twerk to Jokes" and I urge you to go follow him on all social media. Just an all around great person, crazy hard worker, and someone destined for greatness. Thanks Niles for joining me, and thank you to everyone for listening.

I'm back in Utah for a while planning my next move and potentially training for hand to hand combat against the newly established authoritarian regime. Anyway. I wanted to talk about two ridiculous police encounters I've had. I only got in to the first time I had a gun drawn on me and should have mentioned the second. I also talk about random stuff and being able to do stand up again. Hope you enjoy! Have a great week.

Ep 87. I got on stage again AND Police stories!

Back again with the great Neel Ghosh (@neel.ghosh)! Neel is a fantastic comedian who I have  seen perform on several occasions. He's also a very talented musician and I urge you to go follow him! Enjoy the episode and stay safe!

I hope everyone is doing well, staying safe, and keeping your fellow people safe as well! On the podcast today I have Natasha Pearl Hansen (@nphcomedy)! Natasha is a comic, and actress who has been in the game for a long time. She is about to release a special and I'm glad to have had this conversation with her. In this episode we discuss her coming to terms with being self deprecating, police encounters, her upbringing, and an abusive relationship that pushed her to be a comedian. I like Natasha a lot, and I urge you to go follow her and keep an eye out for her special. She's super funny and incredibly hard working. Thanks and everyone STAY SAFE.

Today we had an amazing conversation beginning with a run down of her routine at work pre and during covid, as well as the situation regarding PPE and the lack of it in the beginning. Then we move to her previous addiction to Ambien and its effects on her self esteem and mental health long term. Finally we pepper the episode with some positivity and an outlook that doesn't involve doomsday which is what is important right now. This was a great episode and I hope you all go follow Cat, and stay safe. Don't be stupid. K bye!
