ABOUT SYDNEY KANE AND WIFE MATERIALThe talented NYC-based comedian and singer-songwriter Sydney Kane has performed everywhere from off-off-off-barely-Broadway stages to the glamorous 9x16 iPhone screen, and beyond. She built a loyal following on social media with her deeply insightful takes on dating, so sharp and relatable that even straight men are taking notes. Kane will be filming her musical comedy variety show Wife Material live at The Green Room 42 in New York City on June 18. With musical direction by David Dabbon (arranger for Oh, Mary!, Cat Cohen, Las Culturistas Culture Awards, SNL 50) and direction by Andrew Mullins.The special touches on super relatable topics about the endless, exhausting loop of modern dating. While today's society seems to enjoy and glorify pushing women back to the 1950s, Kane pulls inspiration from comedic greats like Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, and more to turn and upend her perfectly set dinner table. Through original songs, sketch comedy, and unfiltered storytelling, Sydney takes you on a PG-13 (leaning R) rated journey through the most universal experience there is: falling in love. And then falling out. And then falling back in. And then regretting it. And then telling your friends you're done. And then you get over it. And then you meet someone new. And then you fall in love. Does this ever end? You'll have to see the show to find out! (It doesn't. but still see the show.)https://www.sydneymorgankane.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

It's a hilarious and heartfelt Chit Chat Wednesday as Jared Freid sits down with comedian Eric Neumann, fresh off the release of his brand-new YouTube special, Almost Engaged. Together, they dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of love, heartbreak, and the comedy that comes from it all.Eric opens up about his not-quite engagement and the real-life relationship that inspired the special, including his brother's chaotic divorce and the now-infamous couch painting that came with it. The two comics explore the tricky process of turning personal pain into punchlines, the healing power of yoga, and why post-breakup dating is its own kind of trauma response. Jared shares his experiences with joke-building after a breakup, the moments that still make him cringe (including the coffee bit that got him on The Tonight Show), and how to know when it's time to let go of material and people.From the origin story of “Napkin Neumann” at the Comedy Cellar to a deep discussion on vulnerability, timing, and growing past heartbreak, this episode is packed with honesty, laughter, and insight into how comedians turn real-life chaos into cathartic comedy.Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors!Get 10% off your Hero Bread order with the code JTRAIN at https://www.hero.co

Following the historic trade deal with the US that isn't a trade deal, I look into the facts and weirdness of the announcement. From Keir constantly calling him 'Donald' to whether it'll mean anything good for Britain. I also ask why Trump seems to be surprised that Britain has anything good going for it and why they did the whole thing on a Sky call from 2002.

They jump in and Dean talks about his new comedy special, “5836” on YouTube, and how he found the amazing venue. Randy reminds Dean how he inspired him to change his life and jump into comedy at the ripe young age of 33. They move on and discuss how online negative comments are good for social media algorithms. Dean extolls the benefits of using Yondr bags that lock up peoples phones during live performances. The fellas move on and talk about how some bands, like Foreigner, are still touring even though none of the original members are in the band. The guys close with the news for the week - There are two teaspoons of microplastics in the average Americans brains, Millennials say they need $525K a year to “feel happiness”, and people that have a dog say it brings more life satisfaction that being married.   Don't forget to check out Dean's new YouTube comedy special “5836”!   Outro: “Funk Doctor” by Gee Dubs   Social Media: Instagram: @randyvalerio @readysetblowpodcast Twitter: @randytvalerio @readysetblowpodcast TikTok: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpod YouTube:   @randyvaleriocomedy   @readysetblowpodcast    #comedypodcast #comedy #podcast #podcastclips #comedyvideo #news #advice #standup #standupcomedy #comedyspecial #livecomedy #youtube #inspire #inspiration #negativity #comments #trolls #trolling #hater #haters #microplastics #millennials #dog #doglovers

There's also analysis of Trump's first 100 days in office, but mainly from the point of view of 'content'. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There's No Bloke Without Fire'.
