If you're having a mental health crisis as you're trying to get to a Back Street Boys concert, comedian Emily Ruskowski is the hero you're looking for. A mental health professional (Social Worker) working with kids, Emily truly is a hero. Also, her passion for getting on a plane to go see her favorite bands makes her a hero to her 15-year-old self who knows she is “killing it” as well as Jacques' wife (aka “Management”). Emily dropped some fantastic gems of advice on being a comic: Once you realize established comics aren't just blowing you off when they tell you to “work on the craft” and that it's NOT the crowd (generally) it's YOU, when a show doesn't go great – Lots of gold like that on this episode! Give Emily a follow across the socials and do yourself a favor – go see a show she's headlining ASAP.

We got an absolutely gem of episode with firecracker Emily Ruskowski! The gang chats up the world of why grease 2 is better than the original, family vacations gone wacky, and why comfortable pillows can be problematic.
This week our hearts are beating right out of our untrimmed chests as we take a ride on the monorail of monotony. Train drizzled onto the scene in 1998 with their humble hit "Sweet Virginia" and followed that up with milquetoast smash "Drops of Jupiter" in 2001, but it wasn't until "Hey Soul Sister" that they truly wormed their way into every human being's hearts and minds as the corniest soft rockers on the planet. Comedian and returning guest Emily Ruskowski and Boston area burlesque performer Jane Doe join Heather and Mike to discuss the album that birthed "Hey Soul Sister", 2009's Save Me, San Francisco. Can they withstand this ultimate test of their aural fortitude against the unending torrent of ukulele riffs, dad jokes and tepid arrangements? Will they reveal the conspiracy that allowed Train to flourish as our mom's flip phone ring tones and made lead singer Pat Monahan run for a Senate seat in New Hampshire? You won't want to miss a single thing we do... tonight.This show is a part of The Pantheon Podcast Network.

This week's episode is a panel discussion with comedians Kathe Farris, Emily Ruskowski, Erin Spencer, and Carolyn Plummer with new music from illuminati hotties. It's the very first time the Department of Tangents was recorded live in front of an audience. The North East Comic Con and Collectibles Extravaganza expanded its podcast panels and its comedy offerings this year, and I was lucky to nab all four comedians on the Friday night show presented by The Boston Comedy Festival before they took the stage. That's BCF founder Jim McCue we're thanking at the end. I haven't done a lot of panel shows before, but if they are as interesting as this one, I may have to make a point of doing more. Farris, Ruskowski, Spencer, and Plummer all have great stories of how they got into comedy and found who they were as comedians. Farris started and then stopped for years due to family obligations. Ruskowski is a social worker. Spencer bombed on purpose her first time onstage. Plummer has worked every kind of room you can imagine, from clubs to, as she calls them, “dead animal lodges.” A good chunk of the conversation centered around identity and experience. And there were some delightful moments where the comics asked each other questions, and I just got to sit back and listen. Carolyn Plummer Emily Ruskowski Kathe Farris This week's featured track, “Pressed 2 Death” by illuminati hotties from their album Kiss Yr. Frenemies. If you like your hooks with a sense of humor, this is the band for you. The songs are witty and fun, but some of the punchlines are in the music. It's a punk attitude, they'll give you a song you can hum and a raspberry. Literally, in this case. Enjoy “Pressed 2 Death” by illuminati hotties.
Paula Ebben and Liam Martin talk to 3 finalists from this year's Boston Comedy Festival: Erin Spence, Emily Ruskowski and Kathe Ferris about women making history and the state of Boston's comedy scene. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Comics get there late. Where? Wherever they're supposed to be. But you can't get mad at Emily Ruskowski because she was probably late due to saving a child in her other life as a social worker. How do you bring the heavy stuff she deals with in her everyday life into a comedy stage? How was opening for Gilbert Gotfried? And how does a joke go from being your closer to being your biggest bomb and regret? Let's get some answers....
This week we have a group chat following a special show at Megan's House which is a group treatment facility for women. How is it different from a typical show? Kelly McFarland, Emily Ruskowski, Jack Burke, Eric Taylor, and Phoebe Angle take the time to talk about a really cool and unique kind of comedy.

After being abandoned by yet another co-host, Mariya lets down her hair alone. What ensues is a heartfelt rant followed by some delightful phone calls. A back-to-basics kind of show. Good clean fun for the whole family, except for the part where Emily Ruskowski curses like a sailor.
Writer, comedian, improviser, teacher, and learned gentleman Shawn Westfall returns to bring some class to the show. Mariya met a trio of "revolutionaries" at a bar. After reciting some bad-ass poetry, Shawn tells Mariya and Ahmed about his experience dating a woman who has sex with ghosts. The adorable Emily Ruskowski accidentally crashes the show with her younger sister. Fun times for all.
Mariya and Ahmed are joined by the adorable but smug Emily Ruskowski and the hilarious Evan Valentine. Mariya and Ahmed share tales of their adventures on the high seas. Evan laments on the troubles of being a wealthy white man. Special needs listener Tom Gavin crashes the studio in person and is very jealous of Mariya and Ahmed's closeness. Emily reports that suicidal people really love to masturbate.
Ahmed comes back for "co-host date # 2" but is given some stiff competition by the adorable and hilarious Lafayette Wright. Together Mariya and Lafayette write and instantly perform their own musical, form a rap group, and delve into controversial topics such as male virginity. The smug but lovable Emily Ruskowski comes in late to brag about winning a comedy contest and rub everyone's noses in it. The legitimacy of said contest is immediately questioned by the rest of the gang. All ends well, though, when Sarah Caso comes in to play her awesome music and forces the loud-mouthed comedians out of the studio.
