Susan and Art talk about their respective shows on the road, Art's naturopath, Susan's nightmare trip to Safeway and various other fun things. 

Stop Me If I've Heard This

Chit Chat, This and That

On this episode, we zoom chat with Nick Thiesen and Eric Paine about their podcast Finding Chemo. Nick has three types of cancer and he didn't like how dark and gloomy all the websites and podcast were about it so he decided to inject some comedy into his. Nick has always been a remarkably upbeat guy who we've known from his stand up act for decades now. I think you'll get some laughs and some inspiration form this. 

What‘s So Funny About Cancer?

Hey Facebook just notified Susan and Art that they've been friends for 18 years! I guess we both thought it was a little longer than that. Hmm. And then their site went down for most of the day. Coincidence? Maybe... Turns out they're in some hot water for using hate speech and divisiveness to help them get more clicks and make more money. Who knew?!  Also, Susan gets to talk about her recent visit with an expert in the field of alien research and Roswell. 

BFBFF Best Face Book Friends Forever

After a few weeks of delightful younger comedians from Portland, Susan and Art decided to catch up a little bit with some stories of their September. A couple of gigs, a party and for one of them, a relaxing home spa...

Squeeze The Joy

Our guest this week is one of the most beloved Portland Comics working the scene.  Adam Pasi described himself as a former bad guy.  He certainly is not that guy now!  In 2019 Pasi won Helium's Funniest Person in Portland contest. He's one of those comics who is naturally funny. We loved chatting with him.  We hope you will to. Stop Me If I've Heard This!    Please like and subscribe.

  Art & Susan welcome the delightful Becky Braunstein!  I was no surprise that Becky was a St John's Festival fave.  Successful actress, comedian, and illustrator Becky gives it her all no matter what the platform.  An Alaskan transplant to PDX, she exploded onto the scene and created the must see weekly show Becky with the Good Jokes. She's been seen on Netflix originals & Chad(TBS) and had a half hour comedy special on Unprotected Sets(Epix).  Subscribe to Stop Me If I've Heard This on all platforms.

Dylan Jenkins is one of the hottest up and coming comedians in Portland right now. In addition to being a repeat finalist in Helium Funniest Person contest, Dylan his own Podcast North Of Failing. But Susan and Art know him originally through his father Robert who was one of the most successful comedians ever to come out of Portland back in the 80s and 90s before quitting stand up to be there for Dylan.

Susan and Art are doing a series of interviews with the comics that are carrying the torch of Portland comedy forward. This episode we are excited to talk to the amazing Amanda Arnold who we've watched grow from a fledgling open mike comic comedian ten years ago into a legit headliner comedian who is working and touring all the time. Amanda has some great stories about life on the road, a relative who lost his hand, and the sometimes supportive, sometimes competitive scene she's conquered. We know you'll get some good laughs. 

Next Gen Comics - Amanda Arnold!

Recap of the weekend. St John's Comedy Fest, Art's show at a haunted hotel, and his trip to the doctor for an enlarged prostate. 

Festival Breakdown

Susan's show at a sex club, Art picks blackberries, the upcoming St John's comedy festival, pumpkin seeds...we talk about anything and everything we could think of other than the Taliban, the wildfires, and the Covid variants because who needs more bad news right now? 

Light and Breezy End Of The Summer Episode

Coming soon to a theater near you- more empty seats! Thanks to the anti vaxers, we're headed back to square one again. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to covid jail. Zoom meetings, masks in stores, nasal swabs... All the hits from 2020. As you can guess, we start out the episode a little pissy about it, but switch to other matters such as the Olympics, the upcoming St John's Comedy Festival, and the environmental report that says we're all doomed. Funnier than it sounds...

Covid 2 - Delta Force (The Sequel)

When comedians get together and swap road stories, it's unlike most parties. Ron has too many hilarious stories to fit into an hour. The laughs were big and plentiful. Ron opens up in a way we never had the chance to see before about his days in the Marines, some road trips, and about transitioning from comedian to hospice care giver and children's puppeteer. This episode lasted longer than most but the time flew by. We dare you to listen to the end, and we think you'll want to. So many great laughs, some sad moments, and some poignant ones as well. 

Ron Osborne - Too Many Great Stories!

What did you do on your summer vacation? Well, we both had fun since our last episode. Susan went to the beach with her family and Art went to Bend with his and fun was had. Also, some stories about mishaps moments of drama. No particular theme but a fun little chat about the last couple of weeks. 

Fun In The Sun

(from July '19) Susan and Art start off talking about their trip to do a show at a winery in Zillah, Washington and end up recounting some funny and memorable stories from the road over the years. Mixing alcohol with over the counter codeine in Canada, flying next to passed out drunk... we start down one road and veer off to many side tracks but lots of funny stories. Too many for just this one episode. 

Road Trip (rebroadcast from 7/19)

Have you encountered a Bigfoot? Been abducted by aliens? Seen a spaceship? Well one of us has had one of those things happen and you’ll just have to listen to this episode about unexplained phenomenon to find out who and what. We thought it would be a fun summer topic during camping season. It was and we had some good laughs. 

Bigfoot and Aliens

Comedy veterans Art Krug and Susan Rice interview comedians and other funny guests, swapping road stories and discussing health, aging, changes in the industry, and staying up past ten
