This week's show is constructed a little differently. Our guest hangout is only about as half as long as we normally have because he was ON HIS LUNCH BREAK, but we put together some other things that made this show its "normal length." OUR GUEST... OH GOODNESS, what an honor for the guys this week to talk to the former holder for the Minnesota Golden Gopher football team (2017-2020), and 5-time cancer survivor, Casey O'Brien! Casey was first diagnosed with cancer when he was 13 and was told that contact sports were now out of the question because of the knee reconstruction he had to go through to survive! He talks about the process of convincing his doctors to let him play, as well as trying to find a college that would sign off on him playing in a game if the situation presented itself. Casey also talks about the mental side of going through, yet again, another cancer diagnosis, along with who was there for him through the fights. He talks about what he likes to do for fun, what he does now, and what Coach PJ Fleck is like, on and off the field!Another thing he talks about is the hospital he spent A LOT of time in, during his times as a patient! He talks about what it meant to him to be there, and THEN be able to accomplish what he has since being a patient there. It drove him to start a Go Fund Me page to raise $1 million to transform the infusion center and patient/family experience within the Journey Clinic at M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital. WHAT A GREAT CAUSE! If you would like to donate, PLEASE DO, and go to https://crowdfund.umn.edu/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.personalCampaign&participantID=1194 to donate!The guys want to bring Casey back on and chat about how things are going with raising the money, as well as catching up with this great person! The Lounge wishes him all the best!For the rest of the show, the guys decided they needed to Crack-a-Six-Pack! They have some things weighing on them, so they need to vent! Then, Little Matt drops a Let's Chat! on them that is QUITE the topic! It's not Farting Tree Furniture, but it's great!The show, overall, is NOTHING if it weren't for Casey O'Brien! He was FABULOUS! SO, sit back, relax & #grabalisten of the hang out with Casey O'Brien!

Katie Tibaldi is a writer, director and producer born and raised in Michigan. She also has the distinction of being childhood best friends with the host, April Wolfe! Between working on shows such as Broad City, Nurse Jackie and Damages, Katie's already worked on over 300 episodes of television. She’s currently producing the documentary feature Street Fighting Men, which will be distributed by First Run Features later this year. Her work on that made her a 2016 Sundance Institute Doc Fellow. She’s also Co-Producer on truTV's Emmy-Nominated comedy series, At Home With Amy Sedaris. She recently directed the independent half-hour comedy pilot, Ian Owes U, that had its world premiere at the New York Television Festival in July. She is also the writer, director and executive producer of Seeking Sublet, a comedy series with 9 full episodes debuting later this year. The series has been showcased by MovieMaker Magazine, Script Magazine, Tumblr and Funny or Die. The movie that Katie has chosen to discuss this week is the vampire mockumentary, What We Do in the Shadows. Katie and April discuss the improvisational style of the film and how it contrasts with that of Amy Sedaris on her show, At Home With Amy Sedaris. They also dissect the anatomy of comedy; how jokes can age badly, what makes a physical joke work, and grounding comedy in reality. Plus, they discuss vampire movies in general, and how even though something's been made a million time, it can be made unique by simply adding a personal touch. You can watch 'At Home with Amy Sedaris' on truTV in theaters now. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch What We Do in the Shadows. With April Wolfe and Katie Tibaldi.

Don't stop me now! We're talking about the new Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. We are so lucky this week to be joined by friend of the podcast, film critic Katie Walsh. This episode was recorded the night of the election, so you can certainly hear a level of optimistic anxiety in all the host's voices. The crew dissects all the important parts of the new movie: Rami Malek's fake teeth, the bad jokes, and how many times the band members say that they're a family. Plus, we chat about the phenomenon of straight actors playing gay characters. AND, most importantly, Alonso kicks of the Holiday season with a new weekly segment called The El Mero Mero de Navidad Christmas Minute. Each week Alonso will recap all the Christmas movies he's watched from the past week. The only caveat is that he must do it in under a minute. And as always, we have staff picks.
