Abel Zapien - I’m just throwing stuff at the wall

Coffee Chat Creatives- women scream like goats sometimes

Claudia and Sarai from Coffee Chat Creatives invade the Badass Cult Podcast for an energetic roundtable of watercolor mishaps, cult-ish coffee habits and awkward sticker sales to unsuspecting senior citizens. Claudia debates her dual citizenship in both the U.S. and Mexico, Sarai reveals the survival skills gained as child 7-of-10 and the whole gang obsesses over puppets made out of suspiciously well-loved socks. Hot topics include the emotional trauma of picking a podcast name, the secret business deal behind selling chocolate as a Foster kid and why Albuquerque’s art scene is one big supportive weirdo family. Pop quiz: do goats really scream like women? The answer is yes. Haiku, custom sock puppets and a quest for world podcast domination round out this caffeinated, community-building episode.

Virginia Spotts - dark about joke stuff

Get ready to laugh and cringe as Virginia Spotts (@virginiaspotts) joins the Bad Ass Cult podcast crew for a wild ride through character comedy, improv horror stories and the philosophical art of being weird on purpose. From haunted puppet reveals to tales of butch push-up beasts and granny dominatrixes, Virginia spills the secrets to surviving stand-up, what happens when squirrels haunt your home and why she juggles a million creative balls (all while plotting a more stable life in healthcare). Plus, witness the debut of "Ruby Slits" (teeth and all) and find out if ordering butter chicken with a puppet is awkward or just performance art!

Micah Thunder - stay wavy

Saddle up! On this episode Micah Thunder (@micah.thunder), the Korean Cowboy, joins the Bad Ass Cult (don’t worry, there are puppets and zero emotional support). Expect tales of songwriting sobriety, family sock theatrics and the art of building beds and ballads at the same time. Micah’s journey through healing, puppet gifting and rodeo clown wisdom proves that sometimes all you need is a red nose and a checklist with only two items: ‘Don’t break anything, including yourself.’ Featuring harp-hauling heroes, impending Swiftie domination and the world’s most heartfelt sock puppet. Yeehaw!

Hannah Joy - throwing ass

Comedian Hannah Joy (@hannahjoycomedy) joins the Badass Cult podcast to talk duck lips, throwing ass on stage and why her DMs are open unless you have ponytail secrets or adult braces. Hear how a theater kid from Dallas conquered Albuquerque’s comedy scene, analyzes every laugh and is looking for love everywhere but dating apps. Also birthday twin excitement, Hello Kitty noodles and why you don’t mess with a woman in leather pants!

Marion Carrillo - no one wants to fight a naked man with a sword

In this episode Marion Carrillo (@themore_themarion) shares the wild and weird realities of life on the road as a touring musician from sleeping nude in a van with a cavalry saber for self-defense (safety tip - no one wants to fight a naked man with a sword) to accidentally making the most popular song on his new album NOT the single. The crew debates the Albuquerque music scene’s lone-ranger mentality, reflects on capitalism, tuberculosis and why having a beanie might save your next tour. Marion also dishes on the best places for potluck gigs, why pre-show cake is essential and plots future collabs and new album experimentation. Come for the indie music insights, stay for the naked sword talk and shout-outs to loyal fans (looking at you, DeLynn!).
