In this conversation, Jim McDonald and Jonathan Gregg explore a variety of themes, including parenting, the dynamics of living in New York City, the journey of performance and acting, mental health, and the impact of social media on personal identity. They discuss the importance of authenticity, the role of anger in society, and the significance of personal growth. The conversation also touches on fitness and the unique experiences of being a stay-at-home dad, as well as the cultural commentary that arises from their respective experiences.(Experimenting with AI-generated show notes on this one. No idea if it will make any difference in discoverability.)Jonathan is the only guest who has both been on this show and appeared in the MCU (Jessica Jones). Also, he's the only guest whose whole ass I've actually seen (HBO's High Maintenance, Season 2, Episode 1). He's super cool, and I could have kept talking to him a long time, but I'd already made him run late. You can catch Jonathan and his best friend, Tom on the No Homo Podcast -- Two best friends (one straight and one gay) riff on their daily lives, the insanity of current events, and what it means to be a man – gassing each other up while the world burns. (Jonathan is the straight one.) https://www.youtube.com/@NoHomoPodcastwJonathanandTomYou can find him on Instagram @jgregg_jonathan and @nohomopod.TakeawaysLearning how to learn is crucial for personal development. Anger often masks deeper emotions like sadness or fear.Parenting involves navigating societal norms and expectations.Mental health discussions should be normalized and destigmatized.Improv can teach valuable life skills like adaptability and listening.Social media can amplify voices but also create pressure for validation.Authenticity in content creation resonates more with audiences.Fitness can be a form of personal expression and growth.Cultural commentary is essential in understanding societal dynamics.Personal growth often comes from recognizing and addressing one's own flaws.Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/!Check out our podcast website: 50percentfacts.com https://www.50percentfacts.com/50% Facts is a Spreaker Prime podcast on OCN – the Obscure Celebrity Network.____Hosted by Mike Farr (@silentmikke) https://www.instagram.com/silentmikke/ and Jim McDonald (@thejimmcd). https://www.instagram.com/thejimmcd/ Produced by Jim McDonald Production assistance by Sam McDonald and Sebastian Brambila.

We have a great talk with NYC-based comedian and improviser Rob Penty. Jason and Rob discuss their time together on the team Glitter at the Magnet Theater and Rob's other Magnet improv teams, Sexy Baby and Wrath. Rob reflects on his initial foray into standup comedy and why he eventually gravitated towards improv, highlighting the supportive community aspect of improv versus the often isolating standup scene. He delves into his journey through different comedy formats, and provides insights into his philosophies on improv and comedy. Rob also shares thoughtful anecdotes about storytelling and the various techniques and methodologies he applies in when doing monologues.

Ever stared at a toothpaste tube and wondered if it could take you higher? In episode 18 of Rabbit Hole, Billy Merritt and the BIT Comedy players tumble from dental conspiracies and Norwegian stop-motion cartoons to hoarding hotel soaps, prank-calling Captain Crunch, and even a pirate gang in juvie. Along the way, fluoride turns into Flo Rida, the Soggies declare war, and toothpaste becomes the most questionable substance at the Cannabis Cup. It's improv chaos at its finest: absurd connections, quick character swaps, and the kind of storytelling detours only this ensemble could conjure. From corporate “green peas” to Plato's cave, with a bit of toothpaste smoke in the air, this Rabbit Hole has it all.

Today on a special episode, Ali and Asif interview comedians Rob Baker and Jan Caruana about all things Improv. They start off by asking Jan and Rob about how they originally got involved with improv and if there is a type of person who is drawn to Improv. They discuss what makes good improv and differentiate between short and long form Improv. They then go over “dramatic” Improv, the relationship between sketch comedy and Improv and “Whose Line is it Anyway”. Ali then asks Rob and Jan about the key role of the audience in Improv. Finally, they ask Rob and Jan about their favourite medical topics (and then they go into a digression about the other Rob Baker from the band The Tragically Hip)!The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

It's my very first time at Comic-Con. I'm with my dear friend Denise, and it's her first time, too. The second we arrive in downtown San Diego, we're hit with a wave of everything - cosplayers everywhere, camera crews darting around, and volunteers all over the place. There are 135,000 people moving in every direction at once. It's buzzing, massive, and honestly thrilling! Since it's Day One, we find our way to the convention center and step onto this long escalator. We're heading up to the top, and I'm trying to act calm - for Denise, sure, but really for myself, too. Inside, my mind is racing: Are we in the right place? Did we come in the right entrance? Where do I get my badge? What should we do first? I don't want to miss a thing! That low-level panic kicks in because if we don't figure this out fast, we'll waste time and miss something amazing. Excitement and chaos collide, and my brain is ping-ponging: Logistics Priorities Schedules Locations …all while I'm trying to look completely unfazed. The escalator keeps climbing, steep and endless. Then we reach the top, and there he is standing right in the middle of all the noise and commotion: Alan Irwin. He makes eye contact, smiles, and says, “Welcome to Comic-Con!” That one sentence shifts everything. The noise is still there; the crowd hasn't changed… but I have. I suddenly feel grounded. I know that we're in the right place and that everything is going to be fine. Alan didn't give instructions or solve anything in that moment; his presence did all the work. In a sea of overstimulation, he connected with a simple smile and eye contact, and I thought: Of course. That's why he's here. Out of all the volunteers, they placed Alan at the top of the escalators. He goes beyond crowd management—he meets people where they are. He reads the energy and centers the entire room. That's crowd work at the highest level, and today, I have Alan Irwin on the Storytelling School Podcast so we can talk about exactly how he does this! You'll learn how simple eye contact can instantly shift someone's entire state of mind, how powerful confidence can be (even when borrowed from a “character”), and so much more. We'll also answer questions like: What makes storytelling the fastest path to building trust? Does true “crowd work” mean co-creating the experience with the audience? How is it that a speaker's resilience is measured not by avoiding mistakes but by how they recover from them? What could possibly be more essential than finding the joy or purpose in your own message before you even share it? What you will learn in this episode: Why speakers borrow traits from admired figures, stepping into a “character” to project confidence How great speaking isn't talking at people Why resilience matters more than perfection and how mistakes and technical failures are inevitable What about joy makes it the ultimate anchor Who is Alan? Storytelling has played a role in both of Alan Irwin's careers in different ways. He recently retired from a career spent in the infrared industry as a senior software engineer by day. However, he stumbled into Improvisational Comedy in his 30s and by night has performed it for over 30 years, while also spending most of that time teaching Improv. Improvisation has transformed Alan's teaching. His secret weapon lies in his penchant for making complex subjects accessible and fun. It has served him well worldwide in speaking engagements on a wide range of other topics, from robotics to crisis intervention (including suicide prevention). He's taken on the task of communicating very complex ideas to others in tech (and his interests, like geek culture and cheesemaking).

It's not often that I'll get to introduce a guest whose moniker is “banana-brained and voice-trained”! But joining me today is a woman who is the embodiment of quirkiness, versatility, and her own words “a bit unhinged”. From clown noses to stage and to your favorite streaming platforms, Jo Yuan has covered a lot of ground...and that's saying something given she's been in the entertainment industry just shy of 6 years, and in voiceover for five of those years. She's made audiences laugh, cry while pondering social biases through the roles and characters she's played, whether it's in a packed house, on a TV set, or through your earbuds while narrating the Harper Collins' audiobook Counterattacks at Thirty. An Asian American actor of Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean heritage, Jo's career spans theatre, television, voiceover, and comedy, and brings authenticity, wit, and heart to every role. She's trained in the Meisner technique, on-camera acting, clown and sketch comedy to long-form improv, as a graduate of the now defunct Second City Conservatory, in Hollywood. Her stage work includes performances at East West Players, IAMA Theatre, Artists at Play, and as a company member of PlayGround-LA. As a voice actor, Jo's credits read like a streaming guide - with an impressive list of dubbing credits, lead and recurring roles on Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, and Amazon Prime and Nat Geo. In 2024, Jo was named one of 24 New Digital Audio Narrators by Macmillan Audio, selected from over 350 applicants. Jo is also a proud and active member of the Television Academy, the Asian American Theatre Artists Collective, and the century old Los Angeles Breakfast Club, to name a few. In addition, she is my fellow Door Builder in the Building Doors VO Campaign! From the stage to the booth, Jo's work is a testament to the power of curiosity, craft, and connection.

Ravi Patel returns to the podcast with a wide-ranging, candid conversation about a career that refuses to fit into a single lane. Since his last appearance, Ravi has been everywhere—from Animal Control and Ghosts (where he's now a consulting producer) to new documentaries, a musical, and even Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. Ravi shares how he's learned to thrive in “chaos with poise,” balancing multiple creative pursuits while working fewer hours, prioritizing family, and taking bold, unconventional swings. From walking away from a bad offer only to land a starring role on Animal Control, to his approach to improv on set, Ravi offers an honest and often hilarious look at what it means to build a purpose-driven career in an ever-changing industry. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Ravi Patel right here.
