Post-nuclear Reno

IT'S THE EXTRA SPECIAL 50TH EPISODE!!! It also happens to be Halloween so I made sure I prepared a song for everyone. I have many guests today, among them are Reno comedians Jonathan Allgood, Austin Baca, and Alex Fissell. We are also visited by Frankenstein's Monster's Son as well as Legatus Titus...uh, something or other, I just call him leg. Then I reveal the extra special Spooky Hoedown that you can find here: https://soundcloud.com/bobbybenedictcomedy/the-spooky-hoedown-zombie-butt-bash

Reno garbage person Sean Combs comes to tell me about his new band! They don't have any songs, and I'm not 100% sure any of them can actually play instruments, but it's great to hear about. Later, friend of the pod Sam Corbin sits down with me to just talk about us fucking.

Sorry I'm late this week! I quit my job and I've just been watching Kung Fu movies and sitting around losing all concept of time. This week I sit down with the classic Baca-Allgood combo and we talk about all sorts of weird shit. Does Austin know the difference between tampons and pads? Can I get away with calling something "gay" and not sounding like a douche? Is Jonathan even a human person? Is there anyone we didn't offend in this week's cast? Maybe the alt-right, but that's the stuff we talked about off mic. Anyway. See you!

I spent the weekend in Arcata, CA at the Savage Henry Comedy Festival! My room was full of comedians including Austin Baca, Andrea B, Brooke Elizabeth, and Josh Barnes who didn't all end up on the mic, but may be referenced, hopefully negatively.  We woke up hungover and decided to talk with Gabby Jesus and Tiffany Greysen about all sorts of mess before continuing the party. We ran into thegissilent himself, David Gborie, in the elevator and he came to drink car vodka and podcast with us and we discussed boy bands and big man love. Later Tiffany gives us an interesting theory that Brooke dubbed, The Greysen Theory. I wrap everything up in a fun recap with a smokey voice.

Jonathan Allgood and I talk about soups and he's completely wrong, don't eat alfredo sauce as soup, then we talk about 90s movies that I know nothing about, placentas, we go back to soup, and then a whole host of other weird topics that all seem to lead back to soup. Don't forget to check out the Press On! Compilation for Suicide Prevention and Awareness at presson.bandcamp.com and check out my band, Sad Giants with our song Hold On.

I sit down with Alex Fissell after we spent the day just driving around Tahoe and talking about stuff. We go over the human condition as they pertain to movies, personality, and comedy. It's a rollicking negative discussion as I finished up my weekend of Nick-n-Bobby Act Weird For About An Hour and I was just emotionally and creatively drained.

I sit down with Reno comedian Sara Rooker, not to be confused with one-half of the two-headed person Sara and Andrea. I talk with Sara about hiding a strap-on in your jeans, being sober from women in a Catholic school, non-athletic regular people, and about all sorts of life stories. It's a great time. Check it.

I sit down with Austin Baca and we go through many subjects of discussion from carnivals, vampires, Garth Brooks' Spotify absence, broccoli soup, and Canadian representation in video games. What else is there to talk about? Honestly, who knows?

I found an interesting character wandering the streets of Post-Nuclear Reno sporting an eye-catchingly bright fanny pack. It turns out it was Dick Aiken, local fanny pack enthusiast! We talk a great deal about the history of fanny packs, Aiken's life, and other random goofabouts.

Your guess is as good as mine. Got a touch of the laryngitis. I'll come at you with a fresh one next week.

Local comedian Jonathan Allgood and I sit down and have a candid discussion about whatever thought pops into our head. Yep, it's one of those. But I'll be damned if it isn't going to make you laugh at least a few times. Also, if you made it to the ad portion of today's podcast you heard me talk about the Press On! Suicide Prevention Compilation. This is a fundraising compilation album of bands from all around the South Dakota area as well as a few national bands who are lending their tracks for the Helpline Center. So please check out pressoncompilation.bandcamp.com to see the first and second compilation. All proceeds go to Helpline Center!

I sit down with Alex Fissell to talk some shit about Reno comedians, but then Alex gets too high and can't keep up with general conversation. While he is away on a short exodus through the valleys of his mind I find a weirdo babbling in the streets who goes by the name of Mr. Louvier or something. I don't know, he just said a bunch of weird shit and may have been schizophrenic. Anyway, I kick him out and Alex comes back, still too high, but this time too high to care! Take a listen. Also, if you heard the ad then you can go ahead and head to http://pressoncompilation.bandcamp.com/ or more specifically for my song https://pressoncompilation.bandcamp.com/track/hold-on Thanks for listening everyone, and if you have any questions you can always email me at postnuclearreno@gmail.com

We catch up on the saga of the two headed, half-lesbian, half-straight, and apparently two vaginaed mutant, Andrea and Sara Buck-Cherry (Andrea B and Sara Rooker). There is lots of talk of circus escapes, drug muling, and then there's a mouse named Gertrude involved. It's all on the record. Also, if you made it to the ad portion of today's podcast you heard me talk about the Press On! Suicide Prevention Compilation. This is a fundraising compilation album of bands from all around the South Dakota area as well as a few national bands who are lending their tracks for the Helpline Center. So please check out pressoncompilation.bandcamp.com to see the first and second compilation. All proceeds go to Helpline Center!

Well, I'm back from my Midwest tour that I took with Nick Josten and Austin Baca and in lieu of dealing with any people I chose clips from the most popular episodes so far! Why didn't I do this after a year? Why didn't I wait until the end of the year? Why don't you shut up and make your own podcast if you think it's so easy? Anyway. I gained a bunch of weight, I'm breathing heavy from sitting too much, and am just a general mess so enjoy this show!

This one's coming out a little late! I've been on the road for the past week or so with Nick Josten and Austin Baca around the Midwest. We've hit up some interesting spots and Nick and I talk about it this week. After a bit, we bring in a local Fargo guest comedian Comedy Joe Jough who definitely is banned from the show. We also talk with another traveling companion of ours, Gordon Lightvoice, who is a Canadian recording artist that has been trying to break in to the US market.

I had Reno comedian Matt Wiegand join me for a talk filled with copious amounts of non-sequiturs.  We talk about squirrels with my face, the impregnating couch, furry conventions, interventions, starburst dicks, being a teacher, shitting in prison, jungle rules, and then we have a slight equipment failure!

This week's podcast is jam packed full of comedy and science! I interview Sioux Falls comedian Zach Dresch and talk to him about bad drink choices, music, and 90s nostalgia, and boy do we get silly! I then check in with a few friends of mine that were getting into some super in-depth science talk. This ain't your Dad's science, this is normal science. Normal, boring, dull as dishwater science, do your research, don't believe everything you hear, and even in sources are cited be sure to scrutinize your sources. We also may or may not have been balls deep in a game of Edward Fortyhands to inspire us. I cap the discussions off with another Sioux Falls comedian, Dan Bublitz Jr. who gave me the scoop on basically everything going down in the Eastern South Dakota area. Check out his podcast The Art of Bombing, keep an eye out for Sioux Empire Tonight with Zach Dresch (not Rome), and Dan's one man show!

What kind of podcast do you get when you I'm exhausted from work travel and Austin needs butt cream? Well, this is it. Austin and I talk about my terrible eating habits, the new dictionary of the wastes, "The Pound of Beef", and other meat based words, ax throwing, butt cream, Chet Hanks, and swole factor. What does any of that mean? I don't know! And I was there. Take a listen, tell your friends, you'll want to see how this thing ends. Chet Hanks.

I welcome fellow comedian Sam Corbin into my abode to chat about his stupid brain, my stupid brain, Hanna-Barbera cartoons, Kim Jong Un, being racist, and a whole mess of other fun things. We jump all around this episode to whatever pops into our semi-drunk brains and it gets silly.  

PART 2!!!!!! If you haven't heard the last episode that I had with Reno comedian Nick Josten, then you've got some extra listening to do, kiddo. We continue to talk about the life and times of Mr. Josten and his history in both Japan, Canada, and other places. We go over things to do with black beans and so many other non-sequiturs. You'll just have to listen to find out!
