Hi, I’m Eric Fadie. I have been a podcast and Michigan area comic for about 10 years now. I have had this dream for a while to travel all around America seeing the sites and trying to perform comedy in all 50 states. So that’s what I’m attempting to do in 2022 and this weekly podcast will document my attempt at this crazy adventure.
hey, Amy and I are back at it with all new episodes following my wacky adventures on Mackinac Island.
as I wrap up the last of my free episodes for the year i am sad to be home from Mackinac Island but already onto my next venture. I head out of state for the first time in 12 years to see an out of state NASCAR race and what's the deal with flat earthers??
I cannot believe how fast time has flown but here we are. This is the last episode i will record on Mackinac Island this year. I wrap up my second amazing season working here but look forward to time home and returning next year.
as the season starts to wind down it is very bittersweet. I am happy to get home and see my family but legit already misising the island and excited for next year.
on this week's episode I sit down and talk to another one of my housemates Cay. We talk about his love of history, how a southern kid who never heard of Mackinac Island before went about working as an interpretive solider here and much more.

If you are hearing this sorry Amy is not here but we had some island problems and it's just me today haha hope you enjoy anyway. I talk about finally moving back up to Mackinac Island and how excited I am for the new year.
this week's episode is a sample segment from the Patreon exclusive part two of my interview with my mom talking about growing up owning a video store.
It seems like it has been forever but my partner in crime and co-host Amy is back at it with me. We talk about our time off, the new Patreon, and plans for the new season!
I finally sit down and talk to my mom about the sometimes hinted at but rarely talked about time when my family owned a small video store.
A new season comes with a new name and a new logo. I decided to do something very different for the first episode of the new show and have a special guest on to talk about a wild life adventure of his own. I open the season by interviewing my dad about a time in his younger days when he hitchhiked out to Las Vegas to work during his senior year of high school. I have always been interested but never delved too much into it and this seemed like the perfect time.
noooo if you do read the episode descriptions this will not be the last episode just the last one under the old name haha just wanted to update the future and can not wait for season 3 of the wellll you'll see ha
