#71: “College Football Kicker” w/ Lance Weiss

#73: “Chicago Comedy School” w/ Steve O’Brien (Actor/Comedian)

Part 2 of the “What I did instead of college” extravaganza with the story-filled Steve O’Brien. Steve tells us about growing up in the Chicago sketch & improv comedy scene, starting drinking, and getting electrocuted. Oh, and basically doing a Pee Wee Herman impression across the country. Also, if you haven’t heard part 1 with Steve — may we strongly recommend episode #72. Steve is definitely a College Stories hall of famer, and he didn’t even need college to do it!

#72: “No College” w/ Steve O’Brien (Actor/Comedian)

Steve O’Brien (actor/comedian, “Team Submarine”) is our first College Stories guest who straight up bailed on college, and instead, used that time to live some of the craziest stories we’ve had on this show. His age 18-22 college era involved running away from home, across the country, and not telling ANYBODY about it, and eventually basically living the real-life version of “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.” Steve had so many hilarious, truly incredible stories that this is the rare two-parter. Next week, we delve into Steve’s schooling in Chicago’s improv and sketch comedy scene.

#71: “College Football Kicker” w/ Lance Weiss

Kevin has known Lance Weiss (comedian) for eight years, but only on this episode found out he was a kicker for his college football team. WHAT?! Lance shares the story about kicking for Georgetown’s (awful) football team, growing up in the deep South and wanting to get the F out, and his surprising romantic history. This episode is NOT brought to you by the assholes at Apple, whose latest software update screwed up podcasting equipment all across the country. We apologize for the sound quality on this one — we’ll be back to normal next week. Find Lance Weiss on GOOGLE.COM, and FUCK APPLE FOR LIFE (also on Twitter @lanceweiss [http://twitter.com/lanceweiss])

#70: “Getting Jobs” with Matt Passet

Producer of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Matt Passett talks about the mini-college that is paging for the Letterman straight out of NYU, and NYU’s supposed reputation of being “filled with d-bags.” During college, Matt interned at Conan while majoring in politics, and rode that into a career of producing TV, obviously.He also pulls back the curtain to reveal that people who work in TV news don’t necessarily know anything about news — and how sometimes, liberals work for Fox News, and conservatives work at MSNBC, and everybody just plays make believe with the stories. Makes sense, right?Follow Matt on Twitter @MPasset [http://twitter.com/mpasset]
