On today's show, our guest is the very funny and talented Mohammad Patel.  Mohammad has been doing standup comedy almost 10 years, and moved to NYC this year from Cincinnati, OH. Not every interview is the same or even smooth, and today's falls in that category.  I was in a weird mood, it was my fault for discussing politics, and for some reason I chose violence. Despite some tense moments, this was still a very fun interview, and I love this guy.  Today Mohammad and I debate socialism vs. capitalism, discuss Jerry Seinfeld's dating history, Gen Z, what happens when you say ‘calm down' to a woman, and more.  Follow Mohammad at the links below, and I hope you have a great week! #standup #podcast Follow Our Guests: https://www.instagram.com/cincymoh/ Follow My Other Stuff: David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbakker7/?hl=en The Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ididthisinsteadofkillingmyself/?hl=en The Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GGXI851tdRDK1XmiSgcMk David's Twitter… https://twitter.com/davidbakker7 And TikTok… https://www.tiktok.com/@davidbakker7   Don't Click This… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

This is the first episode from our new apartment in New York City.  (Well, Queens, technically.  Manhattan is expensive).  Between unpacking and fighting people for parking, had a chance to upload this. Our guest today is the most interesting man in the world:  J. Curtis Strickland.  He is a musician, monk, actor, adult film star (jk), b.s. artist, marine, and friend of Adam Schulte/Todd A. Davis.  He's also the host of the Tea & F**** Podcast and designs cool t-shirts for Hells Heart Co.  On this episode J. shares a story meeting Rory Scovel on a film set.  He also talks about other celebrity interactions and we learn why Kelsey Grammar is the man and Seth Rogan is a jerk.  We talk about relationships, stalker exes, J. shares his personal religious beliefs of Hare Krishna's, and we discuss Bhadavad-gita.  Be sure to follow J. at the links below, and I hope you have a great week! #standup #podcast Follow Our Guests: https://www.facebook.com/jcurtis.strickland https://www.youtube.com/@tnfpodcast https://www.instagram.com/jcurtisstrickland/ https://www.instagram.com/thetandfpodcast/ https://www.instagram.com/hellsheartco/ Follow My Other Stuff: David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbakker7/?hl=en The Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ididthisinsteadofkillingmyself/?hl=en The Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GGXI851tdRDK1XmiSgcMk David's Twitter… https://twitter.com/davidbakker7 And TikTok… https://www.tiktok.com/@davidbakker7   Don't Click This… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

I'm moving to New York City, and this is my last week in Greenville.  Will miss everyone a lot, but looking forward to continuing standup in NY.  This is a special episode with two of my comedy role models, Travis Thuband and Jess Cooley.  They've both been on before…you know Travis as the friendly-but-sometimes-hostile host of Coffee Underground and ½ of the Nasty Hooks (featured in our intro music).  Jess is from Asheville and regularly headlines throughout the area.  This interview was kind of insane.  Jess smokes cigarettes in my apartment, Travis forces Jess to read quotes by Winston Churchill (& we find out how problematic WC actually was), Jess throws my hat out the window, the guys tell me why I should be afraid of New York, and Travis impersonates Joe Biden.  Love these guys and everyone I've met living here in GVL.  Will continue the podcast from NY.  Thanks and have a great week! #standup #podcast Follow Our Guests: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjfJcS3wb_BNVQANo5VVAog https://www.instagram.com/jessmesssupply/ https://www.facebook.com/jesse.cooley.77 https://www.instagram.com/thubandband/ https://www.facebook.com/thebandtravis https://thenastyhooks.bandcamp.com/?fbclid=IwAR3RIcjZAczAVpjsVPYG5Wih_BjZjO0RKzR5QZi-sFB1nvrl_bigDFYiuXI Follow My Other Stuff: David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbakker7/?hl=en The Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ididthisinsteadofkillingmyself/?hl=en The Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GGXI851tdRDK1XmiSgcMk David's Twitter… https://twitter.com/davidbakker7 And TikTok… https://www.tiktok.com/@davidbakker7   Don't Click This… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Today we have two lovely ladies from Asheville on the show:  Jess Williams and Miranda Allison.  Jess and Miranda are good friends who found each other through the comedy scene in Asheville where they've been performing standup over the last year.  Jess is from NY/Philly area and Miranda is from Hendersonville, NC.  In today's interview, they share their comedy origin stories…Miranda describes how she got on stage after living in a van traveling across the country and how she's found a comedy home in NC, and Jess shares the motivation she received from friends and acquaintances in NY before doing her first open mic at a sold out show in Johnson City, TN.  We also discuss relationships, donating plasma, how comedy helps you grow as a person, and they share tips they learned from Becca Steinhoff who runs a standup comedy class in Asheville.  Love these two – please check them out on stage and at the links below, and I hope you enjoy the interview. #standup #podcast Follow Our Guests: https://www.instagram.com/mejesswilliams/ https://www.facebook.com/jess.williams.1293 https://www.tiktok.com/@mejesswilliams https://www.youtube.com/@mejesswilliams4464 https://www.instagram.com/mostghostly_/ https://www.facebook.com/miranda.allison.731 https://www.tiktok.com/@jokesmostly https://www.instagram.com/beccaesteinhoff/ Follow My Other Stuff: David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbakker7/?hl=en The Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ididthisinsteadofkillingmyself/?hl=en The Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GGXI851tdRDK1XmiSgcMk David's Twitter… https://twitter.com/davidbakker7 And TikTok… https://www.tiktok.com/@davidbakker7   Don't Click This… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

On today's episode we welcome the man in black himself, George Wagner.  He dresses like Johnny Cash (or an Olive Garden waiter).  Now living in Canton, originally from Toledo, OH, George is a regular in the Asheville and Greenville comedy scenes who has been doing standup since 2017.  By day, George owns a computer consulting business.  Geo uses observational comedy with a twisted take on things he encounters to bring laughs to crowds both virtually and in real life.  He's the founder of Buttondown comedy which hosts virtual shows, as well as shows live & in person at the Boiler Room in Asheville.  Geo also has an angelic voice you can catch on the Karaoke mic @ Sharkey's downtown Greenville.  On today's interview, we learn by Geo is a geek, hear stories about his time at Dragoncon, Geo explains Y2K, we learn tips to stay looking young, and Geo walks us through a traumatic car accident story. Really enjoyed this conversation – check Geo out on stage and at the links below.  Have a great week! #standup #podcast Follow Our Guest: https://www.instagram.com/buttondowncomedy/ https://www.facebook.com/ButtonDownComedy/ https://www.facebook.com/george.wagner.756 https://www.tiktok.com/@comedygeow Follow My Other Stuff: David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbakker7/?hl=en The Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ididthisinsteadofkillingmyself/?hl=en The Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GGXI851tdRDK1XmiSgcMk David's Twitter… https://twitter.com/davidbakker7 And TikTok…I guess (you don't have to…really.

Kelby was one of my first friends in comedy when we started standup almost 3 years ago.  Originally from Union, SC, Kelby is now living in LA.

Historian, seamstress, and comedian Madison Braswell joins the show today.  Originally from Charlotte, Madison moved to Greenville and got on stage for the first time fall of 2022 after splitting with her fiancé, and getting peer pressured by her friend Alexis Ramirez.  After getting on stage she fell in love with standup.  Madison developed a vocal chord disorder over COVID (spasmodic dysphonia) that limited her ability to speak/interact with people, and standup has been the perfect outlet to express herself.  This interview was a blast – in addition to learning Madison's comedy story, we discuss ugly duckling phases in high school, at what age we want to die, Madison's conspiracy theory about “The Lost Colony of Roanoke,” childhood trauma & how to get over it.  We also have a bonus guest:  Alexis Ramirez joined us for the second half of the interview, and she is also hilarious.  Follow Madison at the links below, and have a great week! #standup #podcast Follow Our Guest: https://www.instagram.com/madisonbraswell/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=620100339 https://twitter.com/mynameismadison Follow My Other Stuff: David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbakker7/?hl=en The Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ididthisinsteadofkillingmyself/?hl=en The Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GGXI851tdRDK1XmiSgcMk David's Twitter… https://twitter.com/davidbakker7 And TikTok…I guess (you don't have to…really.

Lots of laughs on this special episode with David Smitty and David Dowdy.  Smitty is a new friend of mine from the Columbia SC comedy scene.  He's a worker, comedian, podcaster, and amateur athlete. Smitty always brings hot takes on stage, and is incredibly likable.  David Dowdy is originally from Redbank, SC, and has one of the most calming presences I've experienced in comedy.  David started standup in 2021, and has a background in public speaking for Alcoholic's / Narcotic's Anonymous.  On this episode we discuss whether you'd let Alex Jones take your kids to school, the Murdaugh trial and why Smitty sides with the father, Smitty's pregnancy scare, sports, standup, and more.  Follow both of these guys if you haven't already (below), and I hope you enjoy the interview. #standup #podcast Follow Our Guest: https://www.instagram.com/smittycomedy/ https://www.youtube.com/@smittycomedy https://www.youtube.com/@familydinn https://twitter.com/smittycomedy https://www.instagram.com/daviddowdycomedy/ https://www.tiktok.com/@cryptomaus https://www.facebook.com/david.dowdy.90 https://twitter.com/davidwashe Follow My Other Stuff: David on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidbakker7/?hl=en The Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ididthisinsteadofkillingmyself/?hl=en The Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2GGXI851tdRDK1XmiSgcMk David's Twitter… https://twitter.com/davidbakker7 And TikTok…I guess (you don't have to…really.
