Ep. 232: Cat in a Cone (Ft. Josh Beaver & Dan Mazzucca)

I am joined by two returning guests of InTALLerable, both Denver Improv guys, stand-up comics, and two dudes that always make me laugh. Please, get all jiggy with it wherever you are reading this & welcome back to Top Shelf Studios: Josh Beaver & Dan Mazzucca! Follow Josh @_BeaverComedy & Dan @FiftyTwoAD on Instagram for their upcoming dates & more!  Dan’s podcast is called: ‘Dinosaurs Rule’ so watch it & give them a follow.It’s a bittersweet hang, as mighty Josh is set to spread his wings & move to Austin, TX (the real one) to chase his comedy dreams.  The casino wouldn’t accept my bet, but I’d put my money on him to find success, he’s just too damn funny not too.  That said, I hope he will come back on whenever he passes back through Denver.  If for nothing else, for the chicken. Dan teaches us about how fat beats tall on airplanes, Josh tells us about his adventures on the road & how he learned not to let his bag cost more than his plane ticket, we hear about some upgrades at the Improv, and we argue about the best form of ice.  Talking crushed, cubbed, etc.  Not that other one.  We talk comedy-staff to comedy-staff & glimpse into my sound-guy book, to look over some of the shows, some of the crazy amazing talents, that I have been lucky enough to run the soundboard for at Comedy Works South. Don’t forget the smoked chicken wings!!  Join us at Patreon.com/InTALLerable for EATIN’, the full, uncut hang in its rightful untapped glory for our supporters.  You make it possible, we make it InTALLerable.  Only $2/month keeps us ad-free & supporter-driven.  Join now & get your name in the credits, plus with your contribution, I will make you an InTALLerable hat with my own hands!!  What’s not to love, making me do even more work for the love of the game?!  Worth it all the way for the fans that keep us chuggin’ along.  Thank you.FO & BW0:00 — Guest Introductions2:00 — The Pacer for Fat People3:15 — High-Altitude Lungs4:00 — Car Wash Catastrophe7:00 — Outwalking the moving walkway8:30 — Fat Wins over Height on a Plane11:00 — Pilot Dads12:30 — Bag cost more than the Ticket14:30 — Headlamps ON at the Wisconsin Stripclub16:30 — James McCann Special Taping19:00 — Kevin Hart Roast Response24:45 — “New” route to a stand-up career26:30 — Sean’s Sound Bible32:00 — Pitching Big Guests to come on the pod35:00 — Hate troubling people37:00 — EATIN’ - Patreon.com/InTALLerable37:45 — After-Hours & Wing Review!41:00 — Comedy on the road45:00 — Hungover at Mother’s Day Mass47:30 — Timing Drama50:00 — Summary of Dan’s Findings52:30 — Keeping it tight54:30 — Upgrades to the Improv58:00 — Pinnacle of Comedy Club Design59:00 — Ideal crowd1:01:30 — Love for Loonees Comedy Club1:02:30 — Best Form of Ice1:04:00 — Josh Roasting Dan1:07:00 — Parallel Thinking & Joke Writing1:12:00 — If someone else can do it, it's not done yet.1:18:00 — Spinal Fusion, like Father like Son1:24:00 — ‘Biggest Little Special of All Time’1:29:00 — Baby Oragatang at Denver Zoo1:31:00 — Battery Check1:33:00 — Dan’s Alien Vatican Theory1:35:00 — People’s United against AI1:37:00 — AI Dystopian Future Joke1:39:30 — Why ruin someone’s day with a slur word?1:42:00 — Not good enough yet to touch topics1:43:30 — AI for organizing sets1:45:30 — Too Much Slop1:48:00 — Critical Thinking First, Tools next1:49:00 — Twister with Dan1:51:00 — Revamp of Dan’s Pod1:53:00 — Great Denver Scene1:55:00 — Plugs!1:58:00 — Patreon.com/InTALLerable to support our hoop dreams1:58:45 — FO & BW
