Coaching an improv team? Here are some tips to help steward the team! In this mini episode we share a few thoughts on best practices when coaching an improv team. It's not covering everything to do because if you were selected to coach you probably know how to do that. This chat is more about what to and what not to do when coaching an improv team. These tips can apply whether it's your first time coaching or you have been coaching for awhile.

The Bridal Party of the Show is here for a special episode! Best Man of the Show, Trey, and Groomsman of the show, Rob, took over this episode to do a Newlywed Game episode. Trey peppered Jason and Justina (formerly known as GF of the Show and Fiancée of the Show) with a few questions to see who knows the other best! See if they tie, see if one really knows nothing about their spouse, or see if one was asked unfair questions that actually have little to do with whether you know a person well or more about astrology.

We talked to stand-up comedian and actor, Dave Merheje! Jason met Dave many years ago because they both performed on a stand-up show together called The Most Races Show on Earth. After talking about that show, Dave talks about starting comedy in college in his home town in Windsor, his process for learning the structure of comedy, how he got his acting gigs in "Ramy" and "Sometimes I Think About Dying" and what filming those projects were like, what grinding it out early on taught him about finding himself to find his voice, and much more!

We got to talk to improviser, writer, and filmmaker, Anatasha Blakely! Anatasha and Jason dive right into a thrilling conversation which incidentally is one of our most inspiring we've ever had on the podcast. Anatasha talks about the artistic life she wants to achieve, the wisdom of Rick Rubin and Bruce Lee, the marriage of playfulness and joy with vulnerability in improv, being brave and taking chances in her performances, how she got into films like Predator despite being in a Mormon household, her film work, and much more.

We talk to Canada-based stand-up, Amy Bugg! Jason caught Amy while she was on the road in California at the Bergamot Comedy Fest! Amy and Jason have a fun chat about how Amy got started in comedy, doing jokes that weren't true to who she is before finding her voice, how comics can present their POV, her day job in accounting and some tax tips, work-life balance, what it took to produce her own special, and what her lifestyle on the road is like.

Inspired to do another bracket we decided to pit actor families against each other. All the actor families (minus several we eliminated) and this is the bracket! Jason is joined by the Bridal Party of the Show to talk all that pop about actor families and more! We've got Best Man of the Show, Trey, Groomsman of the Show, Rob, and Fiancée of the Show, Justina, here to nerd out on who their favorite actor families are. It's a fun chat on a deceptively hard bracket to fill out!
(Note: after recording we added the Gyllenhaals, Streep/Gummers, and Fannings to the bracket who were left out due to an unforgiveable oversight and therefore are not in the discussion)

As a means of celebrating, we're sharing snippets of Jason's bachelor party weekend! Previous guests and podcast regulars make appearances.
Is it an episode to inspire? ...Maybe? It might inspire you to focus on the fun of friends and family coming together and not the debauchery usually associated with bachelor parties. Look, no one got arrested. No one murdered anyone. It was nothing at all like The Hangover. You can enjoy a relatively quiet weekend in the woods with your groomsmen eating donuts and barbecue, watching the NCAA tournament, and doing the Last Dab.

We have a great chat with filmmaker, writer, and actor, Anjali Nath!
Anjali is an up-and-comer in the truest sense. She's done so much already and it's super impressive. She's written, directed, and starred in short films and she's even created music for them. We talk to her time at Northwestern, doing theater, her eye for filmmaking, the approach she takes to developing her work, how she developed the music for her pieces, and much more! She is definitely one to watch!

We got to have this great and insightful talk with comedy writer, Jon Gutierrez! Jason became familiar with Jon many years ago in the oddest place...a Facebook group for aspiring writers. They talked about those early days of trying to get a writing job for a late night show, coming up during the early heydays of UCB and taking more classes than any student in theater history, all the wild things he got to do there like wrestling with Donald Glover, writing for @Midnight and Mystery Science Theater 3000, his philosophy on writing, and much more!

We talk to performer, writer, and instructor, Patrick Rowland, in this fantastic episode! Patrick ran the whole gamut of improv and sketch in Chicago. He talks about how he got bit by the improv bug, how he managed his shyness while pursuing comedy, studying and performing at esteemed theaters like iO, Second City, and the Annoyance, how he started writing, his all Black sketch troupe 3 Peat, his popular sketch show Barack All Night, and after gushing over Amber Ruffin he tells Jason about how he got to work for her on The Amer Ruffin Show. You may even hear a couple President Barack Obama impressions. It's a fun chat, but it also serves as a reminder to keep pushing forward in your comedy journey.

Improv extraordinaire Brian James O'Connell makes his 4th appearance again. Going for the podcast's 5-timers club, BOC returns to talk all things art and improv with Jason. After catching up we hear a little more insight into Brian's early time in improv and his approach, why he thinks of him less of a teacher and more of a librarian, his All Improv guide which is a beast that he keeps updating for you (for you), makes some excellent comparisons to music, whether there's concern for improv becoming homogenized, the state of improv, this awesome "Rust Belt" tour he's going on, and much more! Always a great chat with BOC!
