Patrick & George jump right into it with another discussion of Generative AI, regarding signage George saw in Seaside Park, NJ. They then discuss the Challenge Coins being given out at Knoebels Amusement Park, which sets Patrick off on another tangent about how insulting it is to use AI for something to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. George and Patrick then begin to discuss an issue, both in the veteran...

Patrick & George briefly discuss last week’s episode, and then discuss the podcast being on YouTube versus publishing the video version.

Patrick then catches up Geor...

Since George was feeling under the weather last week, Patrick is joined by his fiancée Grace for this episode! This episode was recorded in San Diego, CA, both in their hotel room and on the road back to Arizona. They recap their separate but similar experiences of this past weekend; Grace attended ImprovCon, and Patrick performed in the inaugural Big Tomato Comedy Festival! We hear how they both got to nerd out about their respect...

George is a little under the weather while Patrick tries to stay healthy. Patrick tells us about the successful production of Roll for Charisma; the first one he and Grace produced as a duo. George learns of a term they cannot use in their show, which leads to a discussion about TV, movies, what you can and cannot say in them, and the newfound importance of physical media

Patrick can be found on social ...

Our hosts continue to pitch to be sponsored by Knoebels (still no calls or emails!). Patrick tells us about the successful "Street Brew: After Dark" show he headlined, despite a slight hiccup. They then discuss show riders that they have heard of (slight deja-vu this episode), as well as what they have had in theirs. Patrick & George trade green room etiquette stories, which takes them on a couple of tangents, bef...

Patrick returns and gives his thoughts on George & Cat’s episode from the previous week. He has never been to Knoebels, but he has worked at Six Flags Great Adventure, and he makes his preference known! The two discuss their likes and dislikes about Great Adventure, Patrick (possibly) makes up an alternate original version of their Houdini ride, and they share moments that solidify that they are no longer, o...

Patrick is off this week, so George’s wonderful wife Cat jumps in his seat as cohost! They tease a future episode for ABD, and regale us with tales of their favorite amusement park, Knoebels! They love this park so much, it’s not even a sponsor (but you totally could be @knoebels …we’ll even throw in the new slogan for free). They also unpack a little bit of Cat’s childhood trauma, and r...

Patrick announces that he is a part of the first ever Big Tomato Comedy Festival in San Diego, CA, this August 20-23! In honor of that, George brings us another edition of “Gee, That’s Random,” with fun facts about San Diego. Afterwards, Patrick & George discuss how they’re know they’re getting older based on their algorithms and style choices. Check out the only podcast released this...

This week’s guest is professional wrestler Jeff Noise! Jeff tells us about his surprising start in the business; so surprising, he didn’t even know he was going to wrestle until he got to the venue! He goes on to tell us about training with some of today’s top names in professional wrestling, as well as his time with his mentors, including some stories with the late-great Balls Mahoney, who George an...

The conversation then switches to how he built his collection, which now is on display at The House of Magic in Glenside, PA. Marc shares his wisdom in this near two-hour conversation, which still somehow does not feel like we have even scratched the surface of ho...

Patrick informs us that he has just now caught up on nine year old news about the film "Super Size Me," which leads to the boys looking at the film in a new way.

George tells us about his favorite tourist attraction he ever went to, The Heart Attack Grill (unfortunately now closed down).

Patrick gives credit to George for the way he hauls his entire act with him, as he has done a lot of gear lugging for Ball Busters. George then starts to discuss a pro wrestling storyline to Patrick, which sets Patrick off on the commercialization and hiring of questionable people. They then discuss wrestling star Maxwell Jacob Friedman (AEW, as well as appearances in “Happy Gilmore 2” & “The Iro...
