"Nurse Ratched Had a Point: And Other Healthcare Stories" - Live Recording

This month's live show was intense. Just a fair warning, while all of these stories are great, some of them are very serious and some of them involve graphic details about our bodies. But you already know that you have blood and guts, so let's get going!

Funny Hoes - Sex Work, Comedy, And a Whole Lot of Questions

tl;dl - Sex workers get a bad rap. You probably know someone who has, or is currently, doing it. Sure some of them are nuts, or drug addicts, or dealing with abuse, or etc., etc., etc. Sometimes, though, a normal lady   gets money thanks to that body that mama gave her.

"Show Biz" - Do Good Work Podcast Live Recording at Spider House Ballroom

Whether it's in bands, movies, the radio, etc., there are a surprising amount of people who have had a brush with show biz. Full of narcissism, and desperation to succeed, the show biz industry makes for some very interesting people and some very interesting stories. This month's storytellers are no different, and we're pleased to have such a start studded line up!

Blake Midgette - Beds, Metal Bands, and Beyond...

When I first met Blake Midgette, I was sure that he was 52 years old and a pervert. I was only correct about one of those things, he's actually 36. No, no, he's not a pervert, but the first time I actually heard about Blake was when I first started comedy in 2011.

"I Can't Come In To Work Today Because..." - Live Recording at Spider House Ballroom

In our second live recorded episode, a handful of amazing storytellers from Austin, TX take the stage to tell you their harrowing tales (excuses) of why they had to call in to work. There's drama, death, and even poop water. Who has the best story and will win the Golden Hammer award? Find out at the end!

Dustin Svehlak - Wedding Videos, Corporate Porn, and Rental Life Advice

Happy February, everyone! I'm happy to report that we had a fantastic recording of our second live podcast at Spider House Ballroom in Austin last week.

Diana Ogaard - Starbucks Gun Threats, Brazilian Runaways, and the Art Hustle

In the history of my life, moving to Austin has been the most eventful chapter. Before I found comedy, before I went to grad school, before I adopted the dumbest dog I've ever met, I worked at a Starbucks at an outdoor mall.

Jared Hawley and Pat Sirois - Pickles, Pawn Shops, and Pussy

Jared Hawley and Pat Sirois are two of the most intimidating comics on Austin's comedy stages. They're loud, unfiltered, and generally inebriated. They showed up at my house at 1pm on a Saturday afternoon with 40s and a gas station pickle. I knew it would be a good time.

"And Then I Got Fired" - Live Recording

OH my hell! OH my damn! We did a live podcast! I'm going to be completely honest with ya'll. I don't know how this little podcast experiment is going. 

Jen Svehlak - Data Entry, Dead Bodies, and Hysterectomies

Jen Svehlak is the biggest comedy fan there is. I once watched her take a week off work just to stalk Jackie Kashian. She has since quit her data entry job and jumped the track to the production side of the entertainment business, and we couldn't be happier to have her! Jen and I talk about parents, reinventing yourself, choosing to be childless, and the joys of failing organs.

Kerri Lendo - Bio Chem, JC Penny's, and Geriatric STDs

If you know anyone in Austin comedy, or just comedy for that matter, I promise that Kerri Lendo knew them first.  

Ralphie Hardesty - Bear Bars, Ivy League, and Dead Gangster T-Shirts

I think the biggest thing that people forget to tell you when you grow up is that being an adult sucks. You spend the first 20 years of your life with a goal, with a trajectory.

Lucy Barber - Rock Writin', Anxiety, and Social Workin'

Believe it or not, I actually do know a few people who are not comics. However, I did mostly meet them through comedy. Lucy Barber and I became friends when we were both dating comics, and boy did we need someone to bitch to about it.

Clark Pengra - McDonald's, Zombies, and Teaching

On a cool Arizona night in 1984, two employees at McDonald's were entranced by the seductive whispers of the Coke machine and sultry spitting of the fryer.

Josh Blue and Chuck Roy - Pot, Palsy, and the Big Gay Republican

My car still smells like pot. And apples. Let me explain.

John Rabon - Jokin', Heroin, and Dishwashin'

With only two episodes left of Breaking Bad (don't worry, no spoilers), I can't help but believe that drug use is on the forefront of the minds of the pop culture collective.

Lashonda Lester - Pimpin', Wrestling, and Vacuum Sales

The first time I saw Lashonda Lester was during a performance of her one woman show, Shondee Superstar.
