Mike talks about the stock market being at an all-time high & how somebody must be tickling the gooch of the bull properly on Wall Street. He also talks about the funniest bet made during the Superbowl which was a $10 for a $15 million payout if Taylor Swift scored a touchdown. Of course, he talks about Valentine's Day, and superheroes because Deadpool 3 is on the horizon. Speaking of movies, he talks about going to see Lisa Frankenstein in theatres recently, which was directed by Robin WIlliams's daughter. He nostalgically mentions Robin in an attempt to honor him as well. He covers a variety of topics and covers his upcoming shows and his upcoming trip to Austin, TX where he'll be headlining The Fallout Theater on 2/29. He also shares a funny story about driving around with his friend with Asbergers, and how ridiculous but awesme it is to be around him sometimes. Enjoy the episode!

After being featured on the cover of Austin Chronicle this week, CJ invites his booboo and co-owner of Fallout Theater on to the show to discuss the venue alongside Virgil, also co-owner but also left off of the front page cover of the newspaper. How dare they! Virgil explains why he was left out and also what you can expect under new ownership at Fallout Theater. Spenny personally vouches for the place since he once studied improv there and performed in several sketch shows. (Go check the place out; some of the funniest live shows I've seen in Austin were at Fallout Theater ~Spenny)   Emily is turning 25 soon and wants to take a trip before, and we quote, "her life is over." CJ recommends Las Vegas and gives her a list of things to accomplish while visiting. That's on today's Leftovers. And Matt announces the first asteroid mining company has been founded. It will take many years to send robots to the asteroid belt and back, but it should yield many valuable resources and precious metals. Feel free to nerd out with us on today's Weird or Wired.  Other topics: our BIG GAME SNACK BRACKET nominees start rolling in CJ excited for an Adam Driver / dinosaur movie Em curious about Valentine's Day quandary: do you ask your partner to be your Valentine?

This week on Yes But Why, I chatted with my friend Jess Lonett, an enthusiastic human who loves collaborating with other enthusiastic humans.Jess Lonett is a cat mom, a glitter enthusiast, a #swiftie, an inspiration hoarder, a playlist curator, a donut lover, and an improviser based in Austin, Texas! She is what some may call a human woman who likes attention and has been capturing the attention of friends, family and strangers alike in a variety of ways since birth. She's won silver medals as a competitive dancer, played Goldilocks as the lead in her 3rd grade class play, done kicklines in high school football halftime shows on the pom pom squad, and been knocked down as a jammer on a small town roller derby team. She performs comedy regularly at Fallout Theater and she writes a blog called “!!!” (for real though, the website is http://www.exclamationpointexclamationpointexclamationpoint.com/ )Turns out, Jess is from Pittsburgh; and, even though I didn't know that until this chat, I should have assumed. She is as delightful and wonderfully creative as the other amazing ladies I've interviewed from Pittsburgh. Amazing town. Jess and I are compatriots from the Austin improv scene. I have had the pleasure of coaching Jess in improv and directing her in sketch comedy a few times over the years. In our conversation, Jess told me that she started as a performer like so many of us do – choreographing dances in her basement. We shared notes on both winning lip sync contests back in the day. And then, Jess told me she hosted a radio show in college called “Groovy Cupcakes.” Now that is pretty much the most perfectly Jess thing I've ever heard. Jess loves music; that's how she got to Austin. She is a lover of mixtapes (aren't we all) and she is a curator of some amazing Spotify playlists. Jess is an appreciator of art and the people who make art. That is something we really bond over and share. Jess has such a welcoming energy. She told me that she is community first, creativity second, when it comes to her extracurricular activities. From improv to volleyball to dance, Jess brings the joy to every scene she encounters. It's all about connecting with people. And Jess is an amazing success at that.

This week on Yes But Why, I had a lovely time chatting with Maddie Cordovano, the newest Conservatory Director at Fallout Theater in Austin. Maddie Cordovano has been an improviser for a little over 14 years. She trained at iO and The Second City in Chicago before moving to Austin where she signed with her first agent and wrote her first solo show. She is now the new Conservatory Director at Fallout Theater and is working to pursue a career in voice over acting. You can catch her going wild on stage (and off) all over the city but mostly at her show “Pioneers” on Saturday nights at Fallout.In our conversation, Maddie talked about having lots of diverse interests and dipping her toes into lots. She definitely has a creative thread throughout them all but deciding on one course of study was hard. Maddie was always doing theater growing up and at college but she, like so many of us, didn't think of it as a career option. After an amazing experience writing and acting in a play in Spain, Maddie decided that she should put some effort into creative pursuits. She moved to Chicago and immersed herself in the improv scene. She learned a lot from that experience, not only about her own creative skills but also about her administrative abilities. Maddie is a welcoming soul and she really loves bringing people together and organizing communities. She shared how excited she is to have joined the Fallout staff. We bond over holding the same job in the same space, many years apart, and how special it is to be the first person to connect with incoming artists. Support Maddie by taking classes at Fallout Theater and by attending (or performing in) her weekly improv show, Pioneers.

Listen to Brian and Matt get their minds blown by this week's guest, the Virtual Statman aka Sean Kelly. We put the Researcher/F1 Experiences Host/certified genius to work with pop quizzes, requests for stats that slander Ferrari, and data pulls that show why Alonso is the greatest driver in F1 history. Plus, we talk about how Sean delivers his stats live on race day, Crofty narrating dinner, why Brundle's gridwalk is a thing of beauty, and Sean's all-time favorite F1 stat. Our merch site is live!!! SHOP NOW! Coming to Austin? Save the date for our live show on Sun, 10/23 @ 9pm CT at the Fallout Theater. Tickets will be on sale soon!

This week on Yes But Why, I interviewed writer and actor, Pete Parsons. Pete Parsons is an entertainer who currently lives in Austin Texas. A graduate of The Theater School at DePaul University, Pete learned the most about what it takes to be an artist from the Chicago improv theaters and their classes and communities. These days, you can catch him at the Fallout Theater in downtown Austin. Every Saturday night there, you can see Pete hosting Pioneers, an improv show that features a new cast of improvisers each week. In our conversation, we talk about how living a theatrical life was a forgone conclusion in Pete's mind. Even from a very young age, he knew that he would be a performer. And luckily, he grew up in a town with a pretty amazing children's theater. So Pete has been onstage for his whole life. We talk about the pandemic and how all the chaos really sapped Pete's creativity. There was just so much going on. Some people really dug into online content creation but that's not Pete's thing. (That is not to say that he doesn't curate some pretty fun Instagram accounts: @littlehighbear and @wowsecretmountain.) But onstage is the place to be and so when Fallout reopened, Pete jumped at the chance to host Pioneers. I know how it can be. Hosting a show is just enough action to keep your mind busy. Pete expressed to me that he's still very much in the midst of figuring out where his career will take him. We talk about options. We discuss ideas. Pete is a great artist and he has reinvented himself before and when he decides what his next big thing will be, I am sure it will be glorious. Pete is a really cool dude. In the press kit he sent me, this is what he sent about supporting him: “If you would like to support Pete Parsons, check out Pioneers or his comic "Little High Bear" but if you want to have a bigger impact, donate to The Innocence Project.” Awesome. Pete also sent links to his upcoming shows and you should check them out because he is MAGIC onstage!What A CharacterA Character Showcase Featuring Austin's Funniest SketchFourth Wednesdays at 8pm at Fallout Theater.Next show: Wednesday, May 25, 2022 at 9:30 pmhttps://falloutcomedy.com/shows/what-a-character-2/PioneersNew world.

The dudes interview comedian & avid toker Jay Whitecotton in front of a live audience at the Fallout Theater in Austin, Texas on 4/20 as part of the Moontower Comedy festival. Buckle up its a wild one!!!

This week on Yes But Why, listen in as I interview filmmaker and improv instructor, Brandon Reich. Texas native Brandon Reich is an independent filmmaker as well as a teacher of Sketch & Improv at the Fallout Comedy Theater in Austin, Texas. Brandon is a five time "top ten finalist" for Austin's 48hr Film Project. He previously worked for and performed at the world-renowned comedy theater, The Second City, in Chicago. Brandon also recently made his first feature film, The Bob Zula, now available on Amazon. In our chat, Brandon shares his unique path through film school, starting with technical training at New York Film Academy and then onto Columbia College for storytelling, directing, and film theory. We talk about Brandon's love for making comedy films and how they are so much harder to navigate than dramas (sorry film snobs). Brandon tells me about his travels trying to find his way as an artist – from college in NYC, to a film production internship in Houston, to improv and indy filmmaking in Chicago. Now that he is older and a dad, Brandon has put his focus onto teaching film and improv and we totally connect on how fulfilling teaching can be. Brandon and I bond over our mutual connection the Fallout Theater in Austin. Brandon tells me how much improv shapes the way he creates art altogether. I get on my soapbox about how improv is considered uncool and I'm fine with that if it keeps the jerks out. Brandon is a super sweet guy and we had a lot of fun chatting! Support Brandon Reich right now by checking out all the films he has made that are available on the internet! You can watch some of his short films on Vimeo! And you can watch his award winning feature, The Bob Zula, on Amazon Prime! Yes But Why Podcast is a proud member of the HC Universal Network family of podcasts.

We talk about building characters from wigs, taking amazing online workshops and writing sitcom scripts. Olivia tells me about a meditative practice she does to find funny and magical moments in life. We have a deep talk about finding community during the pandemic. Olivia was a really great guest, so fun to talk to! Support Olivia Wise listening to her podcast, We Wrote The Book.

This week on Yes But Why Podcast, I showcase my talk with comedian and filmmaker, Jer Moran. Jer Moran is a filmmaker and cartoonist based in Austin, TX. He has written and directed various short films and his work has been shown at the Austin Spotlight Film Festival, Austin Comedy Film Festival, Austin Micro Film Festival, and GELOS Comedy Film Festival. Jer is also a comedian and musical improviser who can be seen at the Hideout Theatre, Fallout Theater, Coldtowne Theater, and the Institution Theater. He performs as one half of the Gothic musical improv duo “House of the Bleeding Chicken” and he is also a member of the Fallout Theatre sketch troupe, “The Floor is Lava.” In our conversation, Jer tells me about his obsession with cartoons as a kid. Jer loves “Rocko's Modern Life” as well as the Hanna Barbera oeuvre. We talk about the artists who have creatively influenced us. Jer names weird and provocative animator, Bill Plympton as one of his inspirations. He also gushes about his love for the movie, “Pig Death Machine,” and its punk rock creators, Jon Moritsugu and Amy Davis. We gab about the craziest performance art pieces we have been a part of and also those we witnessed. Jer shares how he got into performing a form of musical improv he calls “gibberish opera.” Jer and I discuss how it can be lonely to create art. I deeply commiserate with him about how tough it can be to find collaborators that match your level of excitement and dedication. Jer tells me about the films he has created and his method for getting it all done. Support Jer Moran by watching his short films, available via Vimeo.
