Episode 041 Brian Emuge 06/20/2015

Episode 041 Brian Emuge Like a month ago, we talked to Brian Emuge. We talk about doing shows when you work nights, Uganda, pronunciation, public school, and a surreal show Jeremy and I did in Centralia. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/3626510

Episode 040 Dr. Jay Self 04/29/2015

Episode 040 Dr. Jay Self We visited Truman University in Kirksville, MO, and interviewed Dr. Jay Self, who taught the class "The Art and Science of Humor" which led to Jeremy's first stand-up set. Dr. Self is also faculty advisor for the Upchuckles, Truman's stand-up club. In this short episode, we talk about the challenges of beginning stand-up, the importance of a venue, and reasons people laugh. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/3522517

Episode 039 Sarah Bursich 04/20/2015

Episode 039 Sarah Bursich Sarah Bursich is a delightful, hilarious person who began doing comedy in rural Illinois, running her own shows and battling celebrity ghosts. She has a wall of goals and a head full of stories, some of which she shares with us here. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/3504536

Episode 038 Andrew Mihalevich 04/09/2015

Episode 038 Andrew Mihalevich Andrew Mihalevich of Bareknuckle Comedy and the new Instant Expert podcast asks "What is funny now?" with only mild desperation. We talk about in what way he wants to die, internet witch hunts, and how it is both easy and difficult to be a feminist because people are idiots. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/3482881

Episode 037 Ryan Dalton 03/16/2015

Episode 037 Ryan Dalton Ryan Dalton knows how to spot a scam and how to make a teacher cry with only the power of his dad's words. His experiences in Bareknuckle Comedy and co-hosting Nick's Open Mic do not qualify him to reform America's education system, though. Too bad. It's a mess. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/3429772

Episode 036 Milly Naeger 02/17/2015

Episode 036 Milly Naeger Milly Naeger read Candide to prepare for this podcast because Jeremy mentioned it the day before. She does stop motion and was in a French German singing group. She co-hosts No Straight White Guys. She comedies good. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/3369454

Episode 035 Nick Branson 01/26/2015

Episode 035 Nick Branson Nick Branson of the Drunk and Nerdy podcast has shifted from stand up to podcasting and other comedy mediums, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten the shows that were on when he started out or that roasts are fun. (Obviously. Why would he forget those things? That would be weird.) PLUS, we plot out a broad-appeal period drama that you will want to fund immediately. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/3321516

Episode 033 Chris Ward 08/22/2014

Episode 033 Chris Ward Chris Ward is 33 and joins us for episode 33, which means he's going to die according to some scroll, probably.

Episode 032 Nick Vatterott 08/06/2014

Episode 032 Nick Vatterott Nick Vatterott is not only one of the most successful comics we've had on the podcast but also one of the most congenial. We talk about bigot heaven, Lion's Choice, and what freedom of speech actually means. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/2998515

Episode 031 Patrick Mahon 07/31/2014

Episode 031 Patrick Mahon In this episode, we travel to Columbia, MO, to interview Patrick Mahon, who is very funny and a great guest, in Josh Beck's dining room, which is echo-y. Patrick shares a story of performing at a high school after-prom, Jeremy explains his engagement, and once again I yell about religion. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/2983903

Episode 030 Natalie Cox 07/14/2014

Episode 030 Natalie Cox Natalie Cox is not a person who pretends to like things she hates, whether they're relationship conventions, rich people on reality shows, or Jeremy's less interesting China News stories. In this episode, we invent an app to avoid human interaction and Natalie falls down. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/2943910

Episode 027 Ben Kronberg In this episode of Comedy vs Everything, we talk with Ben Kronberg.

Episode 024 Josh Arnold 05/16/2014

Episode 024 Josh Arnold In this episode, Jeremy actually has a reason to talk about China when we interview Josh Arnold, a hilarious stand up comedian with years of improv experience who also taught English in Korea for two years.

Episode 023 Ian McGowan 05/08/2014

Episode 023 Ian McGowan In the questionably triumphant return of Comedy vs Everything, we interview Ian McGowan of the bands Bearcub and Ian McGowan and the Good Deeds and the podcast A Beginners Guide to Interplanetary Destruction. The introduction is terrible. The episode is good. We're glad to be back. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/2826967

Episode 022 JC Sibala 03/23/2014

Episode 022 JC Sibala In this episode, we drink quite a bit of whiskey with JC Sibala. JC talks about the challenges of writing new material while maintaining a solid hosting set, his experiences as a model, and sports shit that he and Jeremy care about (or, as JC would grammatically correct me, "about which he and Jeremy care"). Amy sings a kickass song. It is, as the kids say, a "pretty amusing episode." /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/2743905

Episode 021B Steve Poggi 03/16/2014

In Part A, Steve's mom Karen discusses her history with Tarot cards and using meditation to overcome mental illness and loss. Both Steve and Karen share stories about spiritual encounters. Amy and Jeremy both have their cards read, which is only about 80% as awkward as it sounds. It's a pretty interesting hour. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/2730988

Episode 020 Josh Beck and Tree Sanchez 03/07/2014

Episode 020 Josh Beck and Tree Sanchez Josh Beck and Tree Sanchez talk bucket lists, surreally bad shows they've performed at, and cultures we all know very little about.

Episode019 Bobby Jaycox 03/03/2014

Episode019 Bobby Jaycox Bobby Jaycox talks movies, ghosts, and working with TJ Miller (among other things) in this slightly longer than usual episode. If I were a marketing person, I'd call it "super sized" or "bonus extra more fun for your money great time," but really Jeremy and Bobby just have a lot of problems with The Dark Knight Rises. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/2710824

Episode 018 - Zach Martina and Emily 02/21/2014

Episode 018 - Zach Martina and Emily In this episode, Michigan comedian Zach Martina and his girlfriend Emily join us to talk about the differences between the St. Louis and Detroit comedy scenes and the mechanics of travelling to do shows.

Podcast! /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/2693997

Episode 017 - Brandon Judd 02/07/2014

Episode 017 - Brandon Judd Our sometimes sound guy and hilarious comedian/ hard working showrunner Brandon Judd joined us for a very interesting and very funny conversation. He has a messed up nose and some guy in China blew up his car on accident. Also, more fortune cookies, purely by coincidence. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/2667383

Episode 016 - Nathan Orton 01/30/2014

Episode 016 - Nathan Orton Hilarious comedian Nathan Orton joined us for a great chat in Jeremy's dining room. He talked about how his brother is a famous WWE wrestler, and that causes a lot of weird and crazy problems on Facebook. We also all got fortune cookies, and Amy found a weird Christian message on a candy cane. This was quite possibly the funniest episode we have ever done. /episode/index/show/comedyvseverything/id/2655029

Episode 015 - Kris Wernowsky 01/23/2014

Episode 015 - Kris Wernowsky Kris Wernowsky runs one of the very best monthly standup comedy showcases in all of St. Louis.
