Post-nuclear Reno

This week's podcast is jam packed full of comedy and science! I interview Sioux Falls comedian Zach Dresch and talk to him about bad drink choices, music, and 90s nostalgia, and boy do we get silly! I then check in with a few friends of mine that were getting into some super in-depth science talk. This ain't your Dad's science, this is normal science. Normal, boring, dull as dishwater science, do your research, don't believe everything you hear, and even in sources are cited be sure to scrutinize your sources. We also may or may not have been balls deep in a game of Edward Fortyhands to inspire us. I cap the discussions off with another Sioux Falls comedian, Dan Bublitz Jr. who gave me the scoop on basically everything going down in the Eastern South Dakota area. Check out his podcast The Art of Bombing, keep an eye out for Sioux Empire Tonight with Zach Dresch (not Rome), and Dan's one man show!

What kind of podcast do you get when you I'm exhausted from work travel and Austin needs butt cream? Well, this is it. Austin and I talk about my terrible eating habits, the new dictionary of the wastes, "The Pound of Beef", and other meat based words, ax throwing, butt cream, Chet Hanks, and swole factor. What does any of that mean? I don't know! And I was there. Take a listen, tell your friends, you'll want to see how this thing ends. Chet Hanks.

I welcome fellow comedian Sam Corbin into my abode to chat about his stupid brain, my stupid brain, Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Kim Jong Un, being racist, and a whole mess of other fun things. We jump all around this episode to whatever pops into our semi-drunk brains and it gets silly.  

PART 2!!!!!! If you haven't heard the last episode that I had with Reno comedian Nick Josten, then you've got some extra listening to do, kiddo. We continue to talk about the life and times of Mr. Josten and his history in both Japan, Canada, and other places. We go over things to do with black beans and so many other non-sequiturs. You'll just have to listen to find out!

I finally sit down with a man who has been strangely connected to all manner of characters throughout the wasteland, Nick Josten. We sit down and talk a long time about South Dakota, hats, the evolution of video games, Green Day, and we talk a whole load of shit about Japan. Just kidding, let's say it was a cultural analysis of Josten-Sensei's time as an English teacher. That sounds way nicer! This is also the first two-part episode! Tune in next week for even more of Nick and I rambling about stuff. We both have a lot of cumulative life experience and both don't like talking too much about it.

Today my guest(s) is/are Andrea and Sara (Andrea B and Sara Rooker), two heads on a single mutant body, or two mutant heads on a single body, I'm not sure, all I know is that they aren't normal. Though they are two personalities sharing a body, Andrea is straight and Sara is gay, but they kind of have the same problems. That is also the crux of their upcoming podcast Same Problems, so be on the lookout for that! We talk about sliding the mayor's DMs, taking all manner of dick, being involved in circus affairs, being straight girl/lesbian chic, dick slapping injuries, strange addictions, and getting locked in a cage.

My guest today is a man on a journey. Hailing from Chicago, IL, Brendan Gay. He's 20 weeks into a 52-week journey, honing his craft in all the scenes he can across the continental United States. We talk about we talk about my military upbringing, telling jokes across the country, midwestern colloquialisms, the robots eventual uprising, casinos, and life on the road. Turns out I don't know how much a ton is and also don't know how much a moose weighs. Oops! You can always tell when I am on the mic with another podcaster because I get interviewed as well. You can check out Brendan's podcast at brendanbeingbrendan.com and follow him on Twitter @BrendanGay92.

It's THE RETURN OF AUSTIN BACA, SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR THE WHOLE SEAT BUT YOU'LL ONLY USE THE EDGE. We talk about Harry Potter, Los Angeles open mics, my collection of musicals, doing weeds, barfing, wet lasers, and yams versus sweet potatoes. We analyze our trip to Los Angeles that we took with fellow Reno comics. I try to piece together a missing chunk of high-time and we talk about me losing my brunch.

While foraging through the wastes I came across a very confused and seemingly lost individual. He seemed familiar so I struck up a conversation with him. Through our talks, I found out that he is an interdimensional traveler but it seems his travels were not of his own volition. It seems that an errant wish had sent fat, gay Hitler to us from a universe where dear Dolphy actually made it into art school. If you think that story is a doozy, just get into the episode to hear more.

I'm beginning to think my guest today, Lyonel Begay, interviewed me better than I did him. We talk at length about Final Fantasy, not getting lost in the Barrio, Moving couches, taxes, my own life history, and other types of media laying around my house. We move around a lot in this conversation and I wish I had done a better job of keeping up, but that's okay, if you want to hear more conversation between Lyonel and I you can check out his podcast Reno Nonsense which I will be on in the near future!    

I ran into a battle bot in the streets and decided to call him in for a podcast! We talk all about battle rap, robo-anatomy, Shel Silverstein, ass buffets, Devil Went Down to Georgia, and accents. The friendly robot, BJ Master (Sam Corbin), tells me all about his transition from failed battle robot to amateur battle-rap robot. Turns out I don't know anything about robots! The good news is, I think I learned but I'm not really sure what. During the break in the middle of podcasting, I may or may not have been looking up the phrase "All You Can Fuck Buffet" which yielded many giggles at finding a video called "All You Can Eat Ass Buffet."

I was somehow able to wrangle myself the Poet Laureate of Reno, Bartholomew Stranglethorpe (Nick Josten). We dive into his creative process, how he became Poet Laureate, and he reads us a few select poems from his "Ode to Odes." Can I hold it together? No! Does he say, "I like to do sex real rough."? Yes!  

I sit down with local Reno comedian Alex Fissell to talk a little beginner comedy shop and history. Alex and I deal with our emotions about hecklers, comedy itself, and we get into his past life as a Texan degenerate. If you like to hear how comedians get their start then this is the perfect place to start! Not only are we both just starting in the grand scheme of things, but we get a bit into how we started.

Until next week, thanks for listening.

I have a lengthy ramble with local Reno comedians Austin Baca and Adam Terry.  Did we get slightly offensive sometimes? Of course! Did I have to choose between way too many titles including Cuck of Noodles, Cake Muffins, and Shark Dynasty? Yes, I did. Did I have to choose between way too many titles including Cuck of Noodles, Cake Muffins, and Shark Dynasty? Yes, I did. Either way, we talk about poop, elderly and blue-collar discrimination, snowballing, centaur Jennifer Garner, mushrooms, garlic, bitch-ass dads, and cup noodle pronunciation. Adam and I throw some "Your Bitch Ass Dad" jokes back and forth, as of this recording we had not done the competition, but let the record show that I (Bobby) took second! I also talk for a moment about a bit I was working on including an entire musical number accompaniment, which I did, and it turned out awesome! Keep an eye on my Youtube account for a video that I'm putting together of it.

Whilst exploring the nuclear wastes I came across a shipping container surrounded by squirrels. Inside I found a slight man molding discount kibble into bait so I invited him into my home to be ridiculed by today's other guest, Austin Baca! The Kibbler (Sam Corbin) tells us all about his life with the squirrels, Larry the Cable Guy, and asks us what girls are.  The Kibbler, having found out about women, raced off mid-broadcast but while attempting to chase him back I found local garbage man Sean Combs (no relation) and decided to invite him in to talk metal, ball kicking, cousins at Prom, and ball kicking.

I invite local Reno comedian and free speech advocate, P.k. Hutchinson to throw down about race, identity, big horse cock, rap, and Taco Bell.

I exchange some very confusing words with Sir Reginald of Landerbilt Third (Adam Terry), not The Third, just Third. We talk about Melissa Etheridge, Heimlich, Sir Reginald's parents, and I receive numerous insults. Also, I made a brand new theme song! Hope you all enjoy it.

I invite local politician, Kurt Ramflower (Nick Josten) into my studio to talk about how he became Mayor of Reno during the afterboom. We go over his stances on education, violence in the city, Keanu Reeves, Honky Tonks, wild cunts, and emo snowflakes.

Who else would be joining me aside from esteemed Reno comedian, Austin Baca.
