Post-nuclear Reno

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.

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!

I finally sit down with a man who has been strangely connected to all manner of characters throughout the wasteland, Nick Josten. We sit down and talk a long time about South Dakota, hats, the evolution of video games, Green Day, and we talk a whole load of shit about Japan. Just kidding, let's say it was a cultural analysis of Josten-Sensei's time as an English teacher. That sounds way nicer! This is also the first two-part episode! Tune in next week for even more of Nick and I rambling about stuff. We both have a lot of cumulative life experience and both don't like talking too much about it.

Today my guest(s) is/are Andrea and Sara (Andrea B and Sara Rooker), two heads on a single mutant body, or two mutant heads on a single body, I'm not sure, all I know is that they aren't normal. Though they are two personalities sharing a body, Andrea is straight and Sara is gay, but they kind of have the same problems. That is also the crux of their upcoming podcast Same Problems, so be on the lookout for that! We talk about sliding the mayor's DMs, taking all manner of dick, being involved in circus affairs, being straight girl/lesbian chic, dick slapping injuries, strange addictions, and getting locked in a cage.

My guest today is a man on a journey. Hailing from Chicago, IL, Brendan Gay. He's 20 weeks into a 52-week journey, honing his craft in all the scenes he can across the continental United States. We talk about we talk about my military upbringing, telling jokes across the country, midwestern colloquialisms, the robots eventual uprising, casinos, and life on the road. Turns out I don't know how much a ton is and also don't know how much a moose weighs. Oops! You can always tell when I am on the mic with another podcaster because I get interviewed as well. You can check out Brendan's podcast at brendanbeingbrendan.com and follow him on Twitter @BrendanGay92.

It's THE RETURN OF AUSTIN BACA, SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR THE WHOLE SEAT BUT YOU'LL ONLY USE THE EDGE. We talk about Harry Potter, Los Angeles open mics, my collection of musicals, doing weeds, barfing, wet lasers, and yams versus sweet potatoes. We analyze our trip to Los Angeles that we took with fellow Reno comics. I try to piece together a missing chunk of high-time and we talk about me losing my brunch.

While foraging through the wastes I came across a very confused and seemingly lost individual. He seemed familiar so I struck up a conversation with him. Through our talks, I found out that he is an interdimensional traveler but it seems his travels were not of his own volition. It seems that an errant wish had sent fat, gay Hitler to us from a universe where dear Dolphy actually made it into art school. If you think that story is a doozy, just get into the episode to hear more. If you'd like to contact the podcast you can find us on most social media @pnrpod or you can shoot us an email at postnuclearreno@gmail.com

I'm beginning to think my guest today, Lyonel Begay, interviewed me better than I did him. We talk at length about Final Fantasy, not getting lost in the Barrio, Moving couches, taxes, my own life history, and other types of media laying around my house. We move around a lot in this conversation and I wish I had done a better job of keeping up, but that's okay, if you want to hear more conversation between Lyonel and I you can check out his podcast Reno Nonsense which I will be on in the near future!
