Bryan, Jason Evans and myself talk about all the super fun past comedy projects we've been apart of over the years; improv teams, sketch shows, satire newspapers, comedy magazines, we've had fun with them all.
We then we do some improv scenes where Bryan and Jason Evans randomly pick a background audio (thanks to tabletopaudio.com) & a phrase. [@42:40 min mark]
And we close out with another round of "IS IT STALKING?" [@1:00:45 min mark]

Hey guys!
On the eve of losing member Justina Sparling to NYC we finally get all the members of Laughing Stock Improv together on the show!!
We learn about how hard it can be to join a new improv team, especially when that team doesn't return your emails. Jason brings clips from old improv shows and challenges Evan, Todd, & Justina to "Guess The Impression!"
Evan brings his new favorite game, "In The Style of McDonald" where he sings classic movie quotes as Michael McDonald and the rest must guess the movie.
And we close out with another round of: "IS IT STALKING?"
Keep up with future Laughing Stock shows HERE!

P.S. - Kids, if you listen, Queen Latifa might show up, and if she shows up, so does her jar of urine.

Where we start with Jason's recounting of his comedy trip to NCCAF '16 in N.C. and the beginnings of FINGER EYES. After that he tells us that "Deadpool" is, on a scale from "One To Amazing" is totally Amazing and as kick ass as you want it to be. Then we see/hear a couple of fan girl entries from Tom Julian and fellow network show "Teddy and the Bassman"!!!!
Evan bitches about inconsequential things (namely numbers in movie titles) and we talk about the wonder (mimic?) that is L.A. Hugh Hefner, then we close the show with our new torturous QUIZ Do You Want to Play a Game!! P.S.-kids if you listen... Finger Eyes...nuff said.

Jason sits down with Katie Holcomb, Aaron Grant, Steve Howze, and Blue (Josh Blubaugh) of the Richmond Comedy Coalition Theater, during the run of their first annual "2nd Best Comedy Fest"!
Also sitting in is Alchemy Comedy's Miguel Osornio!

Get into Blue's NYC experiences which leads to him discovering maybe the best (or worst) game ever. Then we learn all the odd ways you can make out with your girlfriend.
We share some terrifying true stories, and close out with reminiscing about amazing moments from the last 6 years of the Coalition Theater!

This week Jason takes a break during his trip to The Charleston Comedy Festival to sit down with local Chucktown comedians Andy Rider and Deshawn Mason. We discuss Uber: The Comic book! We learn about something called "The Underwear Comedy Show". We talk magic, odd venues, and walking the room. We learn about Andy's childhood and how not every kid grows up on Disney movies, some of us had to watch the most terrifying cartoon movie ever. Then we discover how mimes were created and we find out that you shouldn't insult the MC at the strip club you're performing at because YOU WON'T WIN.

We then have way to much fun with the Bane voice. After that we realize that "The Family Circus" comic strip is full of Ghost Kids! Which leads into a discussion about Charlie Hebdo and why people can't take a joke.
We play a compilation of all the roast jokes about Bearded One Jason Underwood from The Alchemy Comedy Roast of Taylor Dorsett. https://twitter.com/taylor_ocd
Evan remembers an amazing dating story involving odd anime movie scenes and his dates parents.
And we close out with a series of scenes involving a very small Al Pacino, and a very giving Vin Diesel.
Kids: Don't listen or "Not Me" is going to get you.

Where we chart new territory with the best crossover since the days of Marvel/DC Avengers/Justice league (where noone wants to be the Justice League) by doing a half and half (not a donkey punch….although we came close) of The Bearded Ones/MBSING crossover with the Mary Beth Smith.
We start the Bearded Ones half with talk of living in the wild (though you know f*ck all about living outdoors ya wanker) then we get into uncomfortable improv moments and Turkey danger among other things, then we have the MBSING half and Mary Beth takes the wheel and we get into a pretty sincere conversation about improv and what it means to us. Don't worry, we break the sincerity with a lot of fart and poop comments (not really). PODCASTERS UNITE!!!!
P.S.-Thanks WOFFORD JONES for the edit assist.
P.S.S.-Kids….. really? go to bed.
P.S.S.S-Check out MBSING on pod bean.
