What’s in a Name? w/ Dewayne White

Summer Break with the Yoder Girls

Today, Jay sits down with both of his daughters to talk all things summer break: plans, chaos, family fun, and what it’s like having Jay as a dad when school is finally out. The girls take over the mic with some fun games, “most likely to” questions, and their best impressions of Jay. It’s sweet, silly, and slightly dangerous handing children a microphone.

Courage to Change

Jay sits down with his mom for one of the most personal conversations he’s ever had. Together they discuss Jay’s decision to leave a 21-year teaching career to pursue comedy and speaking full-time, and reflect on what it was like growing up in Scranton with two moms during a time when very few families looked like theirs. They talk about the challenges of coming out, navigating family and community reactions, raising kids in the 80s and 90s, and the courage it takes to live authentically—even when the world isn’t ready for it.

30 years in…

In this episode of Jaywalking: Life Unfiltered with Jay Yoder, Jay sits down with Tim Grill to talk about what’s changed in stand-up comedy over the last 30 years — and what hasn’t (hint: comedians are still waiting to get rich). Tim shares stories from decades on the road, discusses the art of working clean, and reflects on how the goals of comedians have shifted from simply getting stage time to building brands and chasing viral moments. Whether you’re a comic, comedy fan, or someone curious about what life is really like behind the microphone, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and laughs from a true veteran of the business.

90s Nostalgia

This week on Jaywalking: Life Unfiltered with Jay Yoder, I sit down remotely with fellow comedian Mike Peters for a wide-ranging conversation that feels like hanging out with an old friend. We talk about everything from the comedy grind to our shared love of classic 1990s sitcoms, including the shows that shaped our sense of humor growing up. Mike also opens up about his experience growing up with a sister with autism and how that perspective has influenced the way he sees family, empathy, and the world around him. It’s a funny, thoughtful, and heartfelt episode that blends pop culture nostalgia with real-life stories and honest conversation. Tune in for laughs, memories, and meaningful insights on this week’s episode of Jaywalking: Life Unfiltered with Jay Yoder.
