Crazy Coues Deer Story with Dave Maher Show Notes: I just had a crazy experience with a recent client on a Coues deer hunt, and Dave Maher's here to help me unpack it all. Dave's been on the show before, and he's my go-to guy when it comes to gun stuff. My client was physically challenged, and I hunted with him for three days. I found several opportunities, but unfortunately, we couldn't get to any fast enough. I also had Ryan with me, and he later found a good buck. Even though my client could shoot and he had a good setup, we were too far away. I decided to try to get as close as I could, but the best I could do was 700 yards. All of a sudden, the buck comes out of a tree, and my client hits the buck's shoulder. He took a second shot, and the buck shot straight up into the air and dove forward into some trees, but he was still alive! We moved in a little closer to wait for the buck to do something, and he eventually stood up. My client shot again, but missed. At this point, we don't have another shot, but the deer got up again. Ryan got his eyes on him, and the buck walked into some trees. From here, we go on a crazy chase to find this deer and he eventually goes down for good. Here, Dave gives his analysis of the hunt and his take on why this buck was so hard to take down. What's Inside: A crazy story from a recent Coues deer hunt. Dave's analysis on the hunt. Gun and bullet tips for deer hunting.

Long Range Hunting Dave Maher Show Notes: I don't think anyone knows more about hunting rifles than competitive shooting expert Dave Maher. Today, he's on the show to give us a deep dive into all things hunting rifles and hand loading. Did you know that the barrel of your rifle vibrates harmonically when you fire a shot? The barrel is actually moving around rapidly while the bullet is traveling through it, and this affects your accuracy. Dave explains exactly how this works, and tells us how you can “tune” your ammunition so that it exits the barrel consistently. Dave also gives an in-depth guide to developing and tuning a load for your particular rifle. Start by looking at what you're trying to hunt. This will tell you your caliber and bullet grain. Then, it's time to start tuning your powder load. The goal is to get to consistent, small groups, and it's going to take some trial and error to get there. We also talk about ballistic software, shooting positions, shooting in the wind, recoil management, and more! What's Inside: What are barrel harmonics? The ins and outs of developing a load. What “miles per hour” is your rifle? Practice in the wind. Mentioned in this episode: Phoenix Shooting Bags save 20% with code johnstallone Days In The Wild Short Description: No one knows rifles like competitive shooter Dave Maher. He's here today to geek out about all things hunting rifles, including how to tune and develop your own hand load. Plus, a deep dive on the science of barrel harmonics, a case for the sitting shooting position, dealing with the wind, and more!

Part 2 of the best or worst introduction to this podcast is here! Comedians, past guests, and friends of mine Meaghan Strickland and Claire Favret continue the utterly, definitely-everyone's-saying-it's-classic-and-not-just-a-word-we-made-up "reversaroo" format asking my own questions of me, Dave Maher (This American Life). In this part, I give the most horrific response to "Paint Your Hell" I can, give away the secrets of my future "How to Use the Sidewalk" one-man show, and stand in awe of Claire and Meaghan asking me, "Is your coma still your 'coma'?"

This episode is either the best or the worst introduction to this podcast. I, Dave Maher (This American Life), talk to my friends, fellow comedians, former guests and still-current fans of the show, Meaghan Strickland and Claire Favret, as they turn the tables and ask me all the questions I normally ask guests. A classic "reversaroo," of course! The episode comes in two parts. In this one, I relay an embarrassing childhood anecdote that explains my personality and invent the "destination funeral." This was seriously a blast. I hope you enjoy it. I hope you catch the conclusion next week, and I hope you join my Patreon to check out the extended episodes (for both parts!) at https://www.patreon.com/davemaher (patreon.com/davemaher).

In today's episode, I begin telling the story of when I had to leave Chicago, starting with when I got publicly shamed on stage by a semi-famous comedian for singing an admittedly sub-par version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." This two parter is hopefully a cautionary tale about what can happen when serious mental health issues are left ignored and unaddressed. Also talking about the dark side of Hustle Culture and its strange positivity about "failure", the importance of checking in with yourself & your feelings, how we tend to valorize people just because they are successful or rich, the parallels between comedy and music and much more!

You never write, you never call, you never send flowers “just because.” But that’s ok, we welcome you back to another scintillating episode of Radio Free HPC anyway. Henry is traveling on yet another business trip, lodged in the Washington, DC area, and not even in his favorite hotel chain. But his reputation as a team player goes back to his days in the bayou, Dan says. And he performs another skillful yet awkward segue from Henry’s swamp origins to the swamp-like nature of the internet, which brings us to our special guest.What’s true? What’s real? And how can we KNOW it?We welcome Dave Maher, CTO of internet security company Intertrust, to share with us his deep knowledge of digital communication, identity management, data rights management, cryptography and digital certificates, blockchain, and much else. This whole subject is very much in his wheelhouse.Dave gave us the run down on Intertrust and his other roles in the cybersecurity arena. Dan opens up the questioning with “Dave, do we really need security on the internet?” Dave, quick on the draw, responded “Well, we really haven’t had it for the last 20 years, so why start now?” which got the conversation off and running. Dave talked about the evolution of the internet and the rising need for security given that the internet has vastly changed since it began so long ago.The main topic of the conversation is authenticity and truth. With the rise of deepfakes (images or videos that are convincingly falsified), how do we know that what we’re seeing and hearing is created by who we think and is what we think?This leads to a deep conversation on ways we can verify content so that we know that it’s authentic. There are many ways of approaching it, but some implementation of blockchain seems to be a promising route.Listen to the pod and get hipped to this very important topic. Shahin keeps saying it's the grand challenge of our time. He might be right.Listen in to hear the full conversation* Download the MP3 * Subscribe on iTunes * RSS Feed * Follow us on Twitter * Sign up for the insideHPC Newsletter

Dave Maher has been interested in reading self-help lit since before he feels he'd even established a sense of self to help. Early interest in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The Bible started him down a road of reading about ways to improve his spiritual, mental, and creative health. Three or four years ago, Dave found himself totally embedded in a search for a return to spiritual rituals (like the church-going days of his youth) and a transition from one creative medium to another as he found what made him happy to experience and create. Check out Dave Maher Coma Show the next four Fridays at The Annoyance Theatre to see a heartfelt, funny show about the last year+ of Dave's life. Notes Dave on the wonderful Wrestling with Depression and his own show The Sweetness. Thanks to Cards Against Humanity for sponsoring and The Chicago Podcast Cooperative for their support and community.

Second City's Daniel Strauss returns for the 25th episode of Pop Fury! We talk about how he doesn't believe anything on the internet, the Charlie Hebdo attack, the return of Dave Maher and the passing of Jason Chin. He also yells passionately about stuff as he is wont to do. SHOW NOTES: 0:00 Intro 1:55 Daniel is expecting his first child in March! 5:55 Sammy has fallen out of cheering for Michigan State University while Daniel is a staunch University of Michigan fan...who doesn't know the new incoming coach's name. He feels Penn State was not punished enough. 10:05 Sammy brings up the high school coach who accidentally snapchatted himself masturbating to his girls soccer team. Daniel believes that's fake since everything on the internet is fake and begins to rant about faux celebrity Instagram accounts (like Banksy) and internet joke thievery. 22:15 A woman accidentally shot her husband who was making breakfast in bed for her (DANIEL THOUGHT THIS STORY WAS FAKE BUT IT WAS REAL). Sammy shares the story of the girl who beat someone for farting on her. 27:40 The Golden Globes are tonight. Daniel thinks no awards show matters. We talk about one of the nominees, Birdman, in depth. SPOILER WARNING FOR END OF BIRDMAN. 35:55 We talk about the Charlie Hebdo attack, pushing social boundaries, satire and art. 44:15 On a lighter note, we celebrate the return of Dave Maher, a Chicago comedian everyone thought was dead. 47:55 We take a moment to remember the recent loss of Chicago improv mainstay, Jason Chin. 54:20 We talk about the Antman trailer, the latest Justice League movie rumors, Gone Girl, the Hunger Games, Chappie 1:02:40 Daniel loved New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom 9 wrestling event and it highlighted the problems with America's WWE product. 1:05:35 Daniel watched a bunch a movies when his wife was out of town.

Ashley Nicole Black invites herself into Studio 1Q and we dig into Scandal, Ferguson, Scandal, moving to LA, Scandal, sitcoms and the new Star Wars trailer! Also: Scandal. Show Notes: We talk for a good long while about Scandal—this season, previous seasons, favorite characters, hated characters and bad wigs. Oh, and all the sexy times on it. Along the way, we also talk how Ashley couldn't make it past the Season 2 of The Wire AKA the Dock Season. She couldn't watch True Detective because all the white people looked alike. Ashley is totally in love with Idris Elba and pitches a story angle for him to be on Scandal. We then talk even more Scandal. Sammy is surprised that Ashley could watch it with her parents in the room. Rupert Murdoch was a dumb dumb in defending the Caucasian casting of Gods and Kings. Ashley doesn't like when TV shows change. The upcoming movie adaptation of Into The Woods makes her sad. Her dad is obsessed with Craig Robinson and think Ashley knows all black comedians, like the person Key Peele. We talk about Dave Maher's recovery and Facebook posting on Thanksgiving. Ashley and I dig into the online social media turmoil in the wake of Ferguson and Facebook/Twitter drama. We both can't help but read internet comments and discuss the people suffering the consequences of their posts. We talk about the female journalist who contacted the mothers of online trolls who threatened to rape her. She is flying back on the Red Eye to LA on New Year's Eve. She talks about the differences between Chicago and LA. We delve into modern sitcoms, their failures, their successes and, coincidentally, someone texts about that very topic while we're talking. We wonder what the great sitcoms of our time are, watercooler TV and multicamera sitcoms. We abort the outro to talk the Star Wars trailer. Ashley has never seen any Star Wars films and offers her thoughts on the teaser. She breaks Sammy's brain. Ashley doesn't get people who don't understand an oppressed group of people fight in real life but support it movies in Star Wars and Hunger Games. Sammy snuck a peek at the leaked Annie movie.
