Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series. Andrew Santino sits down with comedian and writer Tommy Brennan for a hilarious conversation about stand-up, writing for television, and the strange path that leads comics from late-night sets to the writers' room.

It's a great comic-to-comic breakdown of how the industry really works. In this episode: • Weird comedy fans that freak you out • How stand-up makes you a better comedy writer • Being a kids ref & insane parents • Behind-the-scenes comedy writing stories Drop a comment with your favorite Tommy Brennan bit. #WhiskeyGinger #AndrewSantino #TommyBrennan #ComedyPodcast #StandUpComedy #PodcastClips #Comedians ======================================================== This episode is sponsored by: SQUARESPACE USE PROMO CODE: WHISKEY GET 10% OFF YOUR ORDER https://squarespace.com/whiskey Andrew Santino IG: https://instagram.com/cheetosantino Tommy Brennan IG: https://instagram.com/somekidtommy Learn more about your ad choices.

BONUS EPISODE! Every Friday, Pete and Val make it weird together!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this Box of Oddities bonus episode, “Freak Family Favorites,” Kat and Jethro dive into a wildly entertaining mix of listener mail, strange history, and bizarre real-world oddities that prove the world is far stranger than fiction. From mysterious rogue waves that can tower over ships to the bizarre story of the Great LEGO Spill of 1997, this episode explores the unpredictable forces of nature and the unexpected ways their effects ripple across the planet. You'll hear how a massive rogue wave struck the cargo ship Tokyo Express, sending millions of LEGO pieces into the ocean, where they've been washing up on beaches around the world for decades—turning into an accidental global science experiment tracking ocean currents and plastic pollution. But that's just the beginning. Kat and Jethro also explore the strange corners of history, including a jaw-dropping act of subtle protest during the World War II tribunal of Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, when a Navy dental technician secretly engraved the phrase “Remember Pearl Harbor” in Morse code inside the dictator's dentures. Along the way, the Freak Family joins the conversation with unforgettable listener stories—like the uncanny moment when a podcast fact about the largest living organism on Earth (a massive mushroom) suddenly appeared on the side of a passing truck, or the tale of a rescued goat that accidentally ended up named after Kat. And because no Box of Oddities episode would be complete without a dive into humanity's wonderfully strange customs, Kat shares some of the most unusual wedding traditions from around the world—from couples being covered in spoiled food in Scotland to ceremonial arrow-shooting in China and even brides marrying trees to break ancient astrological curses. This bonus episode is packed with weird history, strange science, global traditions, and the delightfully bizarre stories that make the Freak Family one of the most unique podcast communities on Earth. If you love mysteries, curiosities, paranormal-adjacent history, and the wonderfully weird, this episode is your backstage pass to the strange world inside The Box of Oddities.

This week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at a reporter and accused the media of trying to make Donald Trump “look bad.” The occasion was a question about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who had previously accused the media of the same. What's truly strange is how Leavitt flatly denied Hegseth had said what everyone heard him say, followed by an unhinged, extended tirade at reporters. Why the rage? Well, Republicans are growing anxious: Punchbowl News reports that they expressly don't want to vote on the war to keep their distance from it, and many of them are straining to avoid even using the word “war.” We talked to New Republic deputy editor Tori Otten, who co-wrote a good piece with TNR's Grace Segers dissecting White House social media strategy. We discuss the real sources of Leavitt's anger, the importance of fantasy and unreality to MAGA politics, and why it's all actually working against Republicans. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

This week's listener question comes from a self-described “Type-A podcast listener girlie” who—financially speaking—is absolutely crushing it. At 32 years old, she's earning about $100,000, saving 25% for retirement, and has already built roughly $450,000 in Roth accounts, plus a brokerage account and cash savings. Her partner, the same age, entered the workforce later after earning an advanced degree and currently makes about $60,000 while saving 12%. They're planning to get married soon, combine finances, buy a home in the next few years, and maybe even retire early someday. But here's the twist. She's comfortable with the idea that her early savings created a large portion of their future financial security. Her partner isn't so sure. Coming from a blue-collar, dual-income household built around pensions and Social Security, he feels uneasy about benefiting from wealth that largely came from her earlier discipline and opportunity. In other words: When the traditional earning dynamic flips, how do couples navigate the psychology of fairness, partnership, and shared success?

AHOY SCUMMERS!After what can only be described as a brief, administratively necessary (definitely not heretical) absence, The Underhive Lorekeepers Podcast staggers back into the vox-net like an Inquisitor returning from a very quiet, very classified investigation.Yes, we're back.And to celebrate our triumphant return to the airwaves (and to prove we haven't been replaced by suspiciously similar servo-skulls), we're hosting our Listener Lore Competition: Minor Ordos Edition.Because nothing says “welcome back” quite like weaponised bureaucracy.Everyone knows the big three of the Inquisition, but we're not here for the celebrity Ordos. We want the obscure ones. The underfunded ones. The ones operating out of a damp archive sub-level with a staff of three, a skull with anxiety, and a mandate so hyper-specific it borders on parody.This episode is all about your creations — the Minor Ordos that REDACTED. The Ordo that investigates bugs in a sitcom. The Ordo dedicated to beverages. The Ordo that insists that, technically, you do not exist. The Ordo loving Roots, bloody roots. The Ordo breaking our souls and robots.And because the Inquisition is nothing if not deeply uncomfortable around itself, we'll be imagining what happens when all these Minor Ordos are forced to attend the strangest company mixer in the galaxy. Picture it: name tags in High Gothic, awkward small talk about sanctioned purges, someone from a rival Ordo quietly taking notes in the corner, and at least one Puritan loudly insisting this entire gathering is Gregory.There will be dramatic readings. There will be questionable accents. There will be entirely too much enthusiasm about Wingdings.Most importantly, there will be your lore. It is canon-adjacent, wildly unnecessary, and absolutely essential.We may have been gone for a while… but like any good Inquisitorial investigation, we were merely gathering evidence.The Emperor Protects. HR absolutely does not.Want to support the show? https://linktr.ee/underhivelorekeepersEnd music theme is Celltrance by Lobo Loco.https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lobo_Loco/free-for-you-cc-by/celltrance-id-2346/

Big Rich and TD went on a field trip to check out the brand-new Elephant Valley at the San Diego Safari Park, and they report back on the massive new habitat, the elephants they met, and why Rich may or may not have tried to bond with one of them. Then the show asks listeners a surprisingly revealing question: what's the weirdest decoration in your house? The answers range from mildly strange… to “why would you ever own that?” Plus, Rich shares his latest homeowner life hack for keeping mice out of your house… which basically involves borrowing your neighbor's cat and hoping they don't notice. It's elephants, bizarre home décor, and the kind of household advice that probably shouldn't be followed—from Big Rich, TD, and Fletch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
