Dean kicks things and it immediately takes a twist when KA$H brings up Dean’s peer-appointed “King of the North” nickname which somehow spirals into body insecurities, why Dean refuses to wear shorts, and the strange journey of accepting a nickname in adulthood. From there the conversation mutates into Dean’s legendary “Shut TF Up Chicken Parmesan,” feedback international critics, AI vs AGI vs ASI, almonds somehow entering the conversation, and Dean’s message to humanity about the future of artificial intelligence. KA$H manages to steer the ship back toward gaming and entertainment as the guys dive into Subnautica 2 drama and legal issues surrounding the developers, board games, the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, the new Masters of the Universe film, and the collectible/toy convention happening this weekend at the Oshkosh Arena. The episode also covers upcoming comedy shows and events including: KA$H appearing on Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba and Greg Bach on May 22 KA$H as a staple in So You Think You’re Funny on May 28 - can Dean finally attend? Dean and KA$H both performing at Kaukauna Comedy Night on May 29 at the Vaudette Theater The guys close things out discussing the missing “Comedian of the Week” from last episode, KA$H gives a shoutout to Discount Tires, and the Comedy Tip of the Week focuses on the dangers of over-promoting yourself. Also — a genuine THANK YOU to everyone listening, sharing, supporting, criticizing, laughing, hating, commenting, and tuning in.

The guys bounce from comedy discipline to absolute chaos in the most on-brand way possible. We get into: * A Gorilla Mind Root Beer flavor that may or may not have been taste-tested yet * A comedy tip for newer comics: why “being new” doesn’t mean you get to ignore the rules * Comic of the Week (you’ll have to listen to find out 👀) * Dean’s late-night eating habits—problem or personality trait? * The legendary Star Wars blue milk… worth it or just space nostalgia? * A recap of the Mix N Rewind show and what went down * The origin story of “The King of the North” (yes, it’s as ridiculous as it sounds) * Sour candy debates featuring Barnett’s face-melting madness * And the age-old Midwest question: is it “supper” or “dinner”… and why does it feel like a personality test? Comedy, randomness, and just enough structure to pretend we planned this—tap in now. 🎤 New episodes weekly. Don’t forget to follow, share, and move your mic stand.

Move the Mic Stand - The Father, The Son, and the Third Wheel (Ft. Hayden Berg)

Enter Hayden: Dean’s 19-year-old son, stepping in as the emergency backup guest (and low-key stealing the show). Hayden brings a fresh perspective from growing up around comedy, including his biggest note for comics: bring more energy. Simple, but brutal. We also get into his current anime phase and the fact that he’s been hitting the gym—so if he starts critiquing your set AND your physique, just accept it. Dean talks about getting back in the hosting saddle at the Bare Bones show after a long break, plus a classic “only in Wisconsin” moment involving a bald eagle casually hanging out in the road like it owns the place. The crew also dives into:– The art (and chaos) of complaining on social media – This week’s Local Comedian spotlight – The surprisingly passionate “Save The Worms” discussion It’s a mix of comedy, chaos, and just enough father-son dynamic to keep things interesting. Buckle up. Drop a comment, share with a friend, and let us know—are you Team High Energy or Team “just hold the mic and survive”? 🎧 Listen now on all major platforms. Comedy Tip: Up the Energy!
