Send us a love letter (or hate mail, your choice!)Who eats sardines straight from the tin, carries a wad of rubberband-bound singles, and is in “talks” with the Italian government? Depends on who's asking. Adam and I take to the podcast to toast to tinned fish, raise a stink about early morning construction, and pour one out for the many folks who were recently denied Italian citizenship thanks to the consulate's ever-changing rules.

Ever wondered how to find humor amidst life's challenges? Comedian Marni P joins us to share her unique journey of part-time empty nesting and the unexpected freedom it brings. We laugh through her experiences with seasonal depression in Chicago winters and the crucial role mental health plays in our well-being, especially within the Black community. Marni's candid insights into the resilience required to navigate life as a Black individual in America offer both humor and depth.What does it mean to teach young girls respect in a world dominated by pop culture? Marni sheds light on the responsibilities mothers carry in raising respectful sons while dissecting the impact of societal messages on young women. We transition into the world of comedy, celebrating Marni's six-year anniversary in stand-up. Her hilarious recount of being coaxed onto the stage at a comedy club in Gary, Indiana by her ex-husband and friends is not to be missed. We also get a sneak peek into her upcoming show featuring Big Keef and Pretty Skinny, highlighting the supportive nature of the comedy community.Navigating the comedy scene isn't without its quirks, including the bias female comedians face, especially those perceived to have "pretty privilege." Marni discusses her experiences and the desire for recognition beyond physical appearance. We also venture into the realms of love, relationships, and maintaining standards, wrapped in Marni's signature humor. The episode concludes with a firm stand against unsolicited explicit images and transforming life's hurdles into hilarious yet insightful lessons. Tune in for a mix of heartfelt reflections, laugh-out-loud moments, and a thoughtful exploration of mental health, comedy, and personal growth.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: The SHITTS Podcast.

Carmen Christopher is one of those comedians who you've definitely seen before but can't totally be sure how you know his face. Over the past several years, he's popped up in bit parts on show's like ‘Shrill,' ‘I Think You Should Leave,' and most notably—given his born and bred Chicago roots—all three seasons of ‘The Bear.' In this episode, Christopher talks about putting together his breakthrough, Chicago-themed stand-up special ‘Live From the Windy City,' which arrives on the Veeps streaming platform August 1st. He also shares stories about collaborating with alt-comedy icons including Joe Pera and Tim Robinson, why he's no longer interested in pursuing SNL after two unsuccessful auditions, that time he almost killed David Letterman, serving as a writer on Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie's ‘The Curse' and more.

We talk to performer, writer, and instructor, Patrick Rowland, in this fantastic episode! Patrick ran the whole gamut of improv and sketch in Chicago. He talks about how he got bit by the improv bug, how he managed his shyness while pursuing comedy, studying and performing at esteemed theaters like iO, Second City, and the Annoyance, how he started writing, his all Black sketch troupe 3 Peat, his popular sketch show Barack All Night, and after gushing over Amber Ruffin he tells Jason about how he got to work for her on The Amer Ruffin Show. You may even hear a couple President Barack Obama impressions. It's a fun chat, but it also serves as a reminder to keep pushing forward in your comedy journey. http://patrickrowland.net Twitter: @PatrickRowland3, @ThereItIsPod, @JasonFarrJokes  Instagram: @ThereItIsPod, @JasonFarrPics  Facebook: @ThereItIsPod  Subscribe to our comedy newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e22defd4dee2/thereitis

Chester Callahan's never been good at working. Lazy but charismatic, Chester is better at managing expectations than he is at meeting them. When he finally loses his bland office job, he treats himself to a burger at his favorite local joint, and notices a dip in the quality. Spotting an opportunity to make Barn Burger a better place, Chester adopts the disguise of the restaurant's elderly owner and sets about turning around the struggling fast food joint. Can he bring back Barn Burger to its former glory while living a double life under the noses of his family, “employees,” and the real Mr. Stevens? Scripts start at 51:18StarringLaura PetroHobert ThompsonNick MarinoKelsey BlackwellWith Mark Soloff as Chester
