Danny wants to go on his first date since Pam died, but D.J. is not having it. Stephanie isn't either, but she's sort of too young to understand why. Lots of heavy stuff! Luckily we have special guest Thayer Frechette around to lighten the mood!
Comedian Rose O’Shea (@ladyastronauty) thinks that the ancient Indian medicine Ayurveda can be helpful in our daily lives for everything from finding what types of foods agree with us to finding medicinal/lifestyle changes that can help disorders, such as using turmeric and reducing sugars. Along the way we discuss whether Thayer uses lotion as a food or a topical treatment, and whether soup is a drink or food. We get so deep into Ayurveda that we don’t have time to do a segment at the end. Check out Rose O’Shea at Upright Citizens Brigade LA performing on her Harold improv team PONY, directing the Maude sketch team Bombardier, hosting and producing the LGT show, and performing with Queer World.

Comedian Brett Maline (@breezy__f__baby) loves it when ads appear on his Instagram feed. His argument is that the algorithm is your friend, it knows what you want, and will offer you things you cannot find in other places. Along the way we talk about comedy, relationships, and get a visit from a real weirdo from the coast. We wrap up the episode with another installment of Dolphin Chamber, and a real shocking revelation from Brett.Check out Brett's hilarious video sketch team Genuine Jerks, seriously, they are great. You can also watch Brett at the UCB Los Angeles house sketch (Maude) team The New Deal every month, and beginning in November Brett will be joining The Groundlings Sunday Company!Convince Me is hosted by Ben Cassil @BenCassil and Thayer Frechette @thayerfrechette, Please take a second to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, it really helps!

Hi it's #37 and yeah we didn't know what episode it was either, oh well, time is flying by guys! Or should we say HOPPING! Because we went to see Peter Rabbit with friend of the pod and Boardwalk Audio fam member Thayer Frechette. Is Peter Rabbit a good guy? NO. Was the movie fun? OH YES. Check out the ep and try to figure out if you're team Paddington or team Peter!

Ah, the enigmatic Elon Musk. Inventor, businessman, stunt-puller… alien? There’s a theory floating around the internet that Elon is not what he seems - that he may in fact be a higher being from another world who’s infiltrated our own to bring us technology beyond our wildest dreams. But is he doing this because he’s a nice guy? Or because he enjoys playing god? Or is he just a regular nerd with grandiose ideas and a head for business?
That’s right it’s a no guest bro fest low clip flip dip 2017! Who needs a guest when you got a funny guy like Thayer talking about Family Guy? This show probably did, but it was just us. To some, Family Guy is just a joke-machine, so we have a real-life writer from Family Guy stop by to talk about their process, but wouldn’t you know it, they’re just a computer! A machine who writes jokes! We learn we’re living in a post-Nickleback, post-Grimmace world when it comes to comedy so what actually is funny these days? We take a deep dive into what Geoff sees as good comedy, apparently it is not jokes, but just any situation with clown car. Lastly we close things out with a blap blap blap remix of everyone’s favorite segment title match. Do the boyz get to the root of all comedy and end up liking Family Guy? You’ll have to tune in and find out! Rate and review, follow on Twitter (@ConvinceMePod), or email us with questions/suggestions at convincemepodcast@gmail.com! Some Family Guy episodes to check out: Road To The Multiverse - Season 8, Episode 1 High School English - Season 15, Episode 8 Road to Rhode Island - Season 2, Episode 13 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In case you haven't been following the news, Thayer's brave, honest takedown of President-Elect Trump on his recent late night Youtube talk show, "Weird Times Vol. 4" got him exiled to Cuba. With Thayer as a (hopefully temporary) ex-pat, we soldiered on with a clip show! But this is not just any clip show, this one is full of those magical morsels we call "commercials." And as a bonus for faithfully reading this description, here is a custom commercial, written just for you! Are you tired of watching advertisements that feature boring products like deodorant, cars, and bug lawyers? I know right?! It's like, when's there gonna be an ad for grooming the hair on the discarded outer layer of a gastropod possessed by a woman? Right now, that's when! With comb-her-shells. Comb-her-shells is a specially designed grooming product for scraping across the surface of sea souvenirs collected by a woman. Comb-Her-Shells, we make the most engaging commercials! (Sorry) Convince Me is Geoff Kaufman @geoffklive, Thayer Frechette @thayerfrechette, and Ben Cassil @bencassil. If you've read this far, do us the favor of reviewing us on iTunes, and maybe even mention to a friend that the show is worth a listen. Please? Ok, fine.

Due to a number of scheduling mishaps, the boys return with another No-Guest-Bro-Fest! This week, Thayer man-splains to Ben and Geoff the restorative benefits of sensory deprivation tanks. Along the way, we talk to a very Chicagoan man named Mike Calendar, and a surprise mythical character (hint: he helps people go to sleep). We also learn Geoff's strategy for making friends at work! Thayer Frechette is a comedian living in sunny Hollywood, CA. Follow him at @thayerfrechette to send him positive affirmations.
