Ep. 235: “Whale I’m Gonna Krill Myself” (Ft. Montana Richardson)

Making his Top Shelf Studios debut, Montana Richardson is a Colorado Native and stand-up comic who started telling jokes into a microphone a couple years ago after encouragement from his late wife.  Follow Montana on Instagram @Montana.Tells.JokesMontana has endured waves of loss over the last five years, yet he remains unshaken in his joyful spirit.  You will feel it too, probably even through your screen or earbuds.  I feel grateful to get this hang with him, where we talked about Montana’s love for Ancient Aliens, his grandma’s close connection to the Roswell UFO event, why the Pope might be the most anti-AI of anyone, and the process of pre-mourning & grief.  It comes for us all.  It’s real, raw, human in its imperfection.  I would not have it any other way. Our show is 100% ad-free thanks to our supporters at Patreon.com/InTALLerableIf you want access to lots of our bonus content, EATIN’ with guests, first-run merch, & the pride of supporting independently produced content, for the fans, by the fans — come join the ‘Heights’ at whatever tier fits your life right now.You make it possible, we make it InTALLerable.FO & BW0:00 — Guest Introduction1:00 — Rat Race2:30 — Colorado Kid & starting stand-up4:00 — Montana’s First Joke6:00 — Star Wars, Andor, & Capitalism8:30 — Physical Media Montana10:00 — Blast radius over MRE life11:30 — SpaceX Theory12:30 — Privacy or Security?14:00 — Flockcams & Tickets in the mail15:45 — Pope against AI17:00 — Not Using AI?18:00 — The cliff: Wall-E19:00 — At odds with Human Things20:15 — AI (Another Indian)21:15 — Norway Dude Stuck in India22:30 — Global Poison Exchange24:00 — Comedy is Sad25:30 — THE Pizza Man28:00 — Weatherman28:45 — All jobs are ‘prediction-based’ jobs30:30 — Grandma’s Farm in Roswell31:30 — THE Alien Incident32:30 — Silent Forest Theory34:00 — Gold Needed for the Ships35:00 — Aliens & Pope History37:00 — Cowardly Pope38:30 — Mogul Hord beat All39:30 — Complacency in “8% a year”40:45 — Free Speech Workarounds42:00 — Ye show bit43:30 — Gonzo-Capitalist45:00 — Never leaving CO46:30 — Montana’s time in Alaska49:45 — Anchorage is weird..51:30 — Homeless Problem & Guilt53:30 — SC Gun Ownership Decision & Marijuana55:45 — EATIN’ - Patreon.com/InTALLerble56:45 — After-Hours & Wing Review!57:45 — Montana’s Last 5 Years of Hell1:02:00 — Meeting his wife at Pizza Shop1:07:00 — Stroke & Loss of his Wife1:09:00 — Not a fan of Doctors1:10:00 — Pre-Mourning1:11:00 — Not great bedside manner..1:12:00 — “Too soon”1:13:00 — Helps you & others to talk about it1:14:30 — Shoutout Beaver1:16:00 — Eternally Bummed, Not Defeated1:17:30 — Benefit Show for his Wife1:18:30 — Bad stuff plus perspective equals funny1:20:00 — Too Heavy for Open Mics1:21:30 — Pizza Game Pays for the Fun1:22:30 — Montana’s Managerial Style1:23:45 — Spirit of a Lion1:25:00 — Mandela’d out of Reality1:27:00 — ‘Heighting’1:28:30 — Plugs!1:29:15 — FO & BW
