Matter of Laugh Podcast

 The girls are getting old and have moved on into their thirties. To stay with the theme, it is all things thirty. Bet you didn’t know there was so much behind the number 30 did you? Well after this episode you will know even more. And speaking of knowing, Shev also shows off and recalls the 200 digits of pi that she knows by memory… show off.

Because they have nothing better to talk about, Matter of Laugh continues their venture into the world of The Bachelorette. Hannah Beast brings four guys to the fantasy suites and takes one into a windmill and the girls predict what will happen while digging into the past of the last four guys standing! And don’t forget, even after all this, Jesus still loves her. This episode features two very special guests that got dragged into this episode by association and proximity. 

Shev and Schab watch and record this episode live with the viewing of the Bachelorette on Monday July 1st. This is the episode before hometowns and the numbers are winding down. Over a couple glasses of wine, the girls present their true feelings towards these men and give you every detail that happened this episode during the commercials. If you don’t watch this show, this will be quite meaningless, but if you do, you will already know what happens, so really nobody needs to hear this.

With Schab home sick and Shev’s fear of germs, Matter of Laugh records their first episode away from one another. The quality is so bad you will likely stop listening shortly after they begin. More details of “The Catnapping of Sangrio” are revealed and the story begins to come to life, so that's fun.

Shev and Schab dive into the mysteries of the English language while at a loss of words themselves. It is a struggle of an episode, but it actually turned out great. Both Shev and Schab were in weird moods, they decided that they would write the mystery comedy short story “The Catnapping of Sangrio” THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Shev and little bit of Schab came prepared with fun questions and a new version of “This or That” for the honored guests Casey Jost and Joe Imburgio, comedy producers of the TV series Impractical Jokers and hosts of the JV Squadcast. After discussing rabid mexican hairlesses, Alvin Schwartz and discovering the striking similarities between Matter of Laugh and JV Squadcast, the four finally get to the real fun of the episode. The episode ends with a bang when one of the four hosts gets jinxed; who do you think it is?

Shev and Schab discuss all things that can make you cry from Dustin Pedroia, to onions, to lack of sleep. Starting with a recap of the Star Wars themed Red Sox Game last week, Shev gives Schab a very brief Star Wars lesson and Schab finally reveals the stadium giveaway. Something incredibly special happens to Shev at the game and she is ready for the rest of the baseball season in hopes her team starts to pick it up. And although there are so many things that make these girls cry, they cannot cry on demand.

In this exhilarating episode Shev and Schab, in attempt to discuss rock climbing, spent a whopping 10 minutes on the subject and spent the rest on burping, rings, Mitch Moreland, drones, limewire and almost anything but climbing. And really that’s about it.

March 28th marked an important date for past topics of Matter of Laugh. Shev and Schab revisit the Bachelor, Red Sox, Impractical Jokers, and the fan page with crazy robots. A content filled episode goes from Schab having bangs to cinnamon to ice cream. Once again, the lovely catfishing robots provide some quality quotes; hence the wonderful title. Listen to the episode to hear the rest. If you’re still in school you might just find your senior quote for the yearbook!

Following the latest installment of Matter of Laugh, Shev and Schab revisit their Bachelor predictions and discuss their many inaccuracies. Didn’t watch the Bachelor? That’s perfect because this is all you really need to know about the season and how it ended. The fence jump and the winner is revealed and highly judged by the two hosts. Then Shev finally tells the tale of the “secret lounge” on the Impractical Jokers Cruise (3) and announced the next podcast guests!

As the Bachelor season finale comes to an end next week, Shev and Schab revisit this past season and make their predictions for the semi finale and finale. Schab is a more experienced bachelor fanatic than Shev and has many strong opinions about the Gerber baby Colton Underwood. Shev and Schab analyze the first official full video of the fence jump and see if there are any spoilers. This could be a busy episode for Colton, he WILL jump the fence and he MAY lose his “virginity” in the fantasy suites.

Episode that was meant to be published before the Impractical Jokers Cruise was not. What was meant to be about winter and escaping the cold turned into a show about the wonders of mother nature, space, mind grapes. Schab establishes Shev as the alpha. Shev talks about her excitement for the cruise. Shev and Schab argue over the word celestial. And just to be fun, Schab wants to make this an explicit episode, so you have been warned.

You read that right! Or did you? Anyways, Shev set up a fan page for an artist years back and one crazy fan (or bot) sent a message to the page and it is one of the craziest stories you will ever hear. Just listen for yourself, you won’t believe it (because it’s fake).

Darren Wearmouth joins Shev again in part two of two back to back episodes. This time focusing on The Brink, the sequel to Awakened written by James S. Murray (A.K.A Murr from Impractical Jokers) with Mr. Darren Wearmouth. Excited for the new book? So are we, so take a listen to this episode and get hyped and learn about the writing process, editing process and more with exclusive content only heard on Matter of Laugh. And of course another round of “This or That” introduces Shev to strange British lingo. Most importantly, what Hogwarts house would Darren be assigned to? Listen now and pre-order The Brink now at Awakenednovel.com and dive into the soul of the fantastic writer and human being, Darren Wearmouth.

Darren Wearmouth joins Shev as a return guest on Matter of Laugh for the Holiday Special. With a special themed holiday This or That, we find out that Darren and Shev celebrate the holidays in many similar ways. From Cousin Eddy to squishy plums we touch upon many holiday topics. Darren makes Shev question many things she thought she knew about the holidays, but also teaches a thing or two about the British Christmas traditions. The highlight of the episode is a special holiday Mad-Libs featuring a Christmas song. Bet you can’t guess which one it is?

Gemma, host of the Talking Codswallop Podcast, joins Shev and Schab from across the pond for a wonderful episode as the sole representation of the Brits. Answering hard hitting questions (like polka dots or stripes) Gemma brings new laughs, new words, and new meaning to to things you thought you knew. However, Shev and Gemma do connect on a few things; their podcasting experience and their filters. Come on, listen to these three codswallop heads; you won't regret it.

After some not so boring business for a quarter of the episode your sick (cough cough) hosts get into some weird Thanksgiving conversation. Shev and Schab try to stay on topic, but find themselves on a number of tangents. Thanksgiving (loosely) related Guinness World Records, weird Thanksgiving themed food, and David S. Pumpkins are sure to get you in the mood for the Forgotten Borough of Holidays.

The Red Sox won the World Series and Shev was there to experience game 2. But before the series began, Shev and Schab got to sit down to discuss the reign of Boston Sports. Dan is back with Defending the Impossible and boy did he choose the wrong team to root for. Was Shev responsible for the World Series win and the fate of the Red Sox destiny with her lucky shirt? And last bit of advice: don’t just hate on Boston, hate on all of New England.

Get ready for Halloween this year and tune in for an hour of ghost noises from Shev and Schab that apparently sound like sirens (well not that long). The ghost of Halloween past returns and Shev and Schab recount the fun of Halloween. They review their childhood costumes and how the adult “slutty” versions have destroyed their innocence. They discuss their favorite candy and question what makes a Halloween movie. Join this spooky episode recorded in the rain and pregame for Halloween coming up soon.

The age old question of fall: Apple or pumpkin? An intense this or that where Shev and Schab take different sides. With fall arriving, there are many activities that come with it; Halloween, leaf catching, flu shot getting, raking, corn mazing and apple picking. Shev and Schab really struggle to find their words and keep their concentration which is why this episode features a spontaneous game of male or female as Shev and Schab gender-fy all 50 states.

Breaking double digits, Shev and Schab escape the infirmary and investigate the results of an official personality test of Shev. Learn a bit about how Shev operates while hearing the recurring events of bad luck for Schab including a broken toe. A mosh posh of topics are covered from Madison Square Garden Virginity to frequent New Yorking. What is the future of Matter of Laugh? Find out and then you can rebut.

Schab goes on a festival rant when Dan really tries to defend the impossible that festivals suck. Shev recounts her experience at Moxie fest and challenges the definition of a fest (per usual). They discuss the weirdest festivals around the world including, but not limited to, Kanamara Matsuri festival……...look it up! Experience the shortest festival in world history and contemplate the word pudding through this episode leaving you with one question: Would you participate in the reenactment battle of the civil war with oranges?

Mark Jigarjian invites surprise guest Jon Kilmer, for a special edition of the Jiggy & Jon podcast reprised as guests. Things get heated during a riveting game of “This or That” which includes a failed attempt at 4-way rock-paper-scissors, and a fist fight over Tiramisu? Then Shev and Schab get tested by Jon to pick between two types of men, but the choice is quite obvious, and Jiggy isn’t happy with the answer. Jon gives an update on his recent movie “The Primrose” (featuring Homework Girl) and discusses the editing process with his very important desk mule.

Darren Wearmouth, co-author of Awakened, joins Shev and Schab from England to discuss his experience working with James S. Murray (a.k.a “Murr”) before shifting the conversation to the Bachelorette, sport, and karaoke. This episode contains two NEVER BEFORE SEEN (or heard) embarrassing stories about Darren that are sure to give a good laugh. Darren attempts an American accent and comes short in a geography competition against Shev and Schab.
