Flashback Episode Of The Dadlands Podcast with Jamie KalerThis Week's Guests: Brendan Wayne and David ForsethJoin us on a thrilling journey back to the unbridled 90s with none other than the grandson of John Wayne, Brendan Waye. We're cracking open a time capsule, revisiting our bartending days in Santa Monica, California - a time rife with wild antics, gunshots in the night, and a distinct drinking culture that now seems like a scene straight out of a movie. We'll trade stories, laugh at our outrageous past, and also get introspective about how these experiences shaped us into the fathers we are today.Let's be honest, who could forget Brendan's infamous gag of pulling out his genitalia behind the bar? But there's much more to our tales than just the shocking or funny bits. We'll dissect the American fascination with guns, contrast Brendan Wayne's upbringing amidst Hollywood royalty with another guest who fled Montana for the glitz and glam of modeling, and discuss how our wild bartending days might be received in today's more litigious society. As we recount our days in the Navy and our encounters with bar fights, we'll also delve into our evolving views on alcohol. From sharing hilarious stories of partying to sobering insights about the impact of excessive drinking, this episode is a nuanced reflection on our past and a contemplation on the values we hope to pass on to our children. So grab a drink (or a cup of coffee), sit back, and take a trip down memory lane with us. Who knows, you might even learn a thing or two about empathy, community, and being a dad in a world that's constantly changing.Grab yourself a drink, and join us!You can catch more of Brendan Wayne on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/therealbrendanwayne/You can catch The Parent's Lounge live every Tuesday Night at 10pm EST/7pm PST at:https://www.facebook.com/theparentsloungeJamie Kaler's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jamiekaler/Jason Gowin's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jasongowin/Kate Mulligan's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/katestmomever/Justin Rupple's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/therupple/The Parent's Lounge TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@theparentsloungeshow

Flashback Episode of The Dadlands Podcast with Jamie KalerThis Week's Guest: Ralph GarmanAs parents, we can't help but feel a bit out of our depth when it comes to discussing topics such as body parts, sexuality, and the reality of swinging with our children. This week, we're joined by our dear friend Ralph Garmin from The Ralph Report and Hollywood Babylon with Kevin Smith to help us tackle these tricky topics. Together, we shed light on the complexities of raising daughters in this new age, the potential gender biases they may inherit from us, and the seemingly innocent traditions, like Elf on the Shelf, that may perpetuate them.Remember that feeling of utter bewilderment when you had to explain anatomy to your child? We've all been there. In our conversation with Ralph, we dive into the necessity of these conversations and how, as parents, we can break the cycle of shame that has been passed down through generations. Shifting gears, we also discuss the contrast between the media's portrayal of swingers and the actual reality, and how married couples with kids might navigate this lifestyle.Finally, we raise urgent questions about modern-day parenting. How do we shield our kids from the dangers of online bullying and social media competitiveness? How can we help our children explore their sexuality in a safe and comfortable manner? And as technology advances at a breakneck pace, how do we prevent them from falling prey to sinister mind manipulation techniques? We don't have all the answers, but we hope our honest discussion will provide some valuable insights. So, whether you're a parent, a parent-to-be, or just curious about the subject, join us for an enlightening chat about the intricacies of fatherhood and parenting in the modern world.Grab yourself a drink, and join us!You can catch more of Ralph Garman on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/ralphgarman/You can catch The Parent's Lounge live every Tuesday Night at 10pm EST/7pm PST at:https://www.facebook.com/theparentsloungeJamie Kaler's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jamiekaler/Jason Gowin's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jasongowin/Kate Mulligan's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/katestmomever/Justin Rupple's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/therupple/The Parent's Lounge TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@theparentsloungeshow

Taylor and Chris trade comedy influences, goofy impressions and laughs with this entertainment gem.

This episode we have comedian and voice over actor Justin Rupple. We talk about his 150+ impressions, going with the flow on stage, intentionally pissing people off, and how we use our comedy to make an impact.

Shut Up & Laugh - Episode 26, Justin Rupple - Host Brian Trendler interviews Issaquah's very own comedian, voice impressionist, and actor, Justin Rupple. Recorded using a Zoom session to connect, we not only meet one another for the first time, but also experience a ZOOM bomb from an unexpected and shared connection. Throughout we cover the power of humor as comfort, security, armor and more. We laugh over shared comedian heroes, voice imitations, observations about life, careers and more. Justin's answers and willingness to play-along with the James Lipton tribute is fun, and we can promise you that you'll recognize some if not all of his hilarious and spot-on imitations!

It’s a question for our modern age. With our advances in society, law, technology, and most importantly : science — is there still a need for a higher power? How does a belief in a god hold sway against scientific discoveries that oppose, almost by definition, the very foundations that inspired the initial beliefs? In this inaugural episode of Grey Hearted, we discuss this question on both sides of the aisle. We’re joined by an atheist who can’t be convinced there is a god , and a devout christian who can’t be convinced there isn’t a god – hosted by me, a semi-agnostic moderator. The good news is that this might be the most calm and respectful religious discussion from opposing viewpoints that you’ve ever heard.

Comedian Justin Rupple stops by to talk Ninja Turtles, middle school talent shows, how he met his wife, how much he loves the podcast, and delivers some of the best impressions you'll ever hear. We laughed almost the whole way through. Follow him on TWITTER @TheRupple.

In this inaugural episode, Mitcz Gets High with his close friend and fellow comedian Justin Rupple. The original aim of the episode was to just run through a quick story about having gone Speed Dating the previous night. However, because Mitcz was high, they ended up talking for almost 3 hours. Mitcz first begins with re-telling Justin about his first Speed Dating experience — which was for an episode of the trash-reality show “The Bad Girls Club”. After that, the main story begins. It’s been edited heavily to maximize amusement and hopefully not put you to sleep, running a mere 90 mins or so. This episode was originally recorded June 1st, 2012. On that fateful night, Justin had to call some place in Seattle EXACTLY at midnight to leave a voicemail so he and his fiancé (now wife) could hold their wedding in this special place. Thankfully, it all worked out for them and they were in fact married at that spot almost a year later. It was trippy to go from crackin’ dick jokes with a high and giggly Rupple to seeing him split-second change to “Business Rupple” for about 2 minutes while he left the world’s most professional voicemail. Way to go, Rups!

This is a heated Riffin here, kids. Justin Rupple returns to regale us of his tales as an actor chef for a commercial, which somehow briefly touches on the Manti Te’o scandal, thereby leading us down a heated debate road of the media, the world, the psychology of the brain, and a number of uncomfortable moments. We round it out on happier subjects, including the discussion of the open-letter proposal for a McWorld.

Jam-packed with almost 3 solid hours of riffin’, we just couldn’t let the riff drop when Justin Rupple rolls through. We start with a discussion about Blackuary Blackriffin’, and some highlights from the early 90s era of hip-hop, while Mitcz remembers an alternate world of music videos that Teddy & Justin think are made up. We talk about gay marriage, Pinterest, censorship, the loss of privacy, sites like IsAnyoneUp.com, the children of the future, Teddy building his empire, and… SO much more.

With Teddy out of town this week, comedian Justin Rupple comes in to riff with Mitcz. Justin and Mitcz talk about their “man date” on Saturday night, including Justin making Mitcz blush from a heaping of praise. The conversation moves towards a discussion about the attractiveness of performers, and what all men would ideally want in life. We discuss actresses who avoid nude scenes and how the digital age is tricking us, and lastly Mitcz tells a story that shocks Justin into silence. Not for the squeamish.

Justin Rupple returned for a proper Straight Riffin’ episode, since we had issues last time. This time around, we cover everything from Creed and the ridiculousness of Scott Stapp to 70s-era ads in High Times to Gay Marriage being legalized in New York. Also, we discuss a hypothetical question about private fantasies, some disgusting goings-on at a Yoga festival, and a number of grim and/or serious political topics. Might be our least silly episode yet.

We took this episode down, because the audio quality was piss-poor, and the first half of the show was (unfortunately) not recorded. The resulting episode was leftover bits from an “industry-style” discussion about stand-up comedy, joke theft, and things like that. All in all, not as entertaining as we’d like and being a young podcast as we are, we’d prefer this episode doesn’t count as a negative mark against us. Perhaps it will return one day, but most likely we’ll just have Justin Rupple return for another show soon and we’ll give you a better episode.
