My interview with Big Ben Kennedy on his podcast "Snackin & Yakkin". Actor and comedian Brian T. Shirley stops by Snackin’ & Yakkin’, and things get weird in the best way. Ben and Brian swap Charleston comedy stories, talk acting gigs that don’t fit in a neat little box, and bond over how their lives have been weirdly side-by-side for years. It’s part comedy hang, part behind-the-scenes career talk, and part “wait, you did what in that short film?” There’s radio show nostalgia, improv shop talk, road stories, and a reminder that sometimes the best gigs come from saying “yes” and showing up. Also, Brian snack pick? Goldfish and Arizona tea. Budget-friendly, studio-approved, and way funnier than it has any right to be. Visit briantshirleyactor.com!

My interview with Keenan Kissinger on his "Comedians in Elevators" podcast on Dec 10, 2025 Comedians In Elevators Podcast Theme: to compare and contrast the comedian (funny person telling any jokes) verse the comic (any person telling funny jokes). By Custom Comedy Corporation Introduction: A comic is anyone who tells funny jokes; a comedian is a funny person — two sides of the same coin. In this episode, we explore how these identities overlap, differ, and define the art of making people laugh by taking "The Ego Mask" OFF. The Role of Persona in Comedy • How much of the comedian’s voice is a character vs. their real self? • Does authenticity matter, or is the d illusion part of the magic? Punching Up vs. Punching Down • Where do comics vs. comedians stand on this? Did a jealous medieval prince become the first comedian by killing the court jester? • Is the audience’s agreement with a comedian a form of permission or alignment? Cultural Translation of Comedy • How do jokes that work in one country bomb in another? How different would it be if the same thing started looking now like it would not change if nothing else really did? • Are comics more universal while comedians are more culturally specific? Crowd Work vs. Crafted Work • If comics riff like influencers in the comments section and comedians perform like in reaction videos, Where’s the sweet spot? • What happens when a comic leans too much into crowd work? Or when a comedian gets heckled? Advertising and Self-Promotion • Who advertises themselves more — the comic or the comedian or magician? • Is self-promotion seen as selling out, or is it necessary for survival? Censorship & Offense • Does a comic avoid offense, while a comedian courts it to prove a point like a magician? • Who survives better in a "cancel culture" environment, the comic, comedian, magician or mud slinger? Timing & Delivery: Science or Art? • Do comics rely more on structure, and comedians more on rhythm and emotion? Laughter vs. Applause • Are comics chasing laughs, and comedians chasing applause breaks or a Primetime Emmy that validate the message? Comedy as Commentary • When does a comedian cross into being a philosopher or a preacher? • Is that good, or does it dilute the humor? Boardgame Zoomcast: Play vs. Performance • If comedy were a boardgame Zoomcast, are you competing as the Colorist (adding tone, mood, and shading) or the Foley Artist (building punchlines with soundscapes and timing)? • Does comedy work better when it’s painted vividly (comic) or when it’s orchestrated sonically (comedian)? Tradition: Guest Question or LIVE! Legacy: Who Gets Remembered? • Will the comic's tight five survive time, or will the comedian's cultural POV be more timeless? Brian T Shirley: Right now in your comic journey would you rather have your own Netflix special or go on tour with any comedian as an opening act for a year? *** Thumbnail created with https://app.runwayml.com/ Prompt: Please turn image into a png with a transparent background, and remove the text "#OPENTOWORK" and the face is turned into a rough, expressive charcoal or pencil storyboard sketch with dynamic, gestural line work.

Static Apocalypse: The Broadcast That Will Not Die When the lights go out across an entire city, fear is inevitable. But when the emergency lines—the very last lifeline between civilization and chaos—go silent, that’s when the real horror begins. Welcome to the world of Next Caller, and specifically, to the gut-wrenching, nerve-shredding experience that is Episode 4, "Static Apocalypse." If you thought previous episodes of Next Caller were intense—prepare to have your expectations reset. This isn't just an episode; it's a terrifying, supernatural gauntlet thrown down that successfully transforms rising tension into outright, inescapable dread. When the 911 Grid Goes Silent "Static Apocalypse" plunges the audience immediately into the worst kind of crisis: a complete systemic failure. The city’s grid has failed, casting the concrete jungle into pitch-black silence. But far more terrifying than the darkness is the catastrophic 911 shutdown. In a city of millions, the ability to call for help—to report a fire, a break-in, a medical emergency—has vanished. The chaos this creates is palpable, even through the speakers. The calls the hosts were getting were terrifying; the silence that follows is deafening. Yet, in this sea of absolute darkness and failure, one tiny beacon of light remains: the Next Caller station. Shadow and Silas: The Last Voices of Reason (and Madness) Anchoring this apocalypse are the tireless hosts, Shadow Sterling and Silas L. Morningstar. They are trapped in an island of electricity in a city that has gone completely dark. Why is their station still powered? That question looms large, and the answer, we suspect, is not a comforting one. As the danger mounts, the focus tightens entirely on the station. Shadow and Silas, usually the commentators on the city's bizarre underbelly, are now the primary targets. The threat isn’t just the angry, desperate citizens outside, but something far more primal, something that thrives in the blackout. Supernatural Static and Closing Walls The description for "Static Apocalypse" promises that the night grows "extremely disturbing with supernatural happenings," and the episode absolutely delivers. The darkness isn't empty; it's populated. As the city’s ability to communicate fails, something else begins to leak through the static—something malevolent and ancient. The tension isn't provided by jump scares, but by the relentless sense that the station, the final bastion of light, is being psychologically besieged. Danger, as the summary warns, is closing in on all aspects. This means the threats are layered: The Environment: Total blackout, isolation, uncontrolled chaos outside. The Physical Threat: Whatever or whoever is attracted to the last working broadcast signal. The Otherworldy Threat: The supernatural forces that see the collapse of human infrastructure as a wide-open invitation. Shadow and Silas are forced to confront not just the callers, but the terrifying reality that their broadcast is becoming a lightning rod for the literal worst things the city (and perhaps the world) has to offer. The Perfect Storm Before the Finale This episode is not just a high point for Next Caller—it is a critical bridge. The entire half hour is dedicated to raising the stakes to an unsustainable level, ensuring that there is absolutely no turning back for the hosts, the station, or the city. "Static Apocalypse" is the episode that transforms Next Caller from a thriller into a truly terrifying horror experience. It strips away the comfort of the familiar and leaves Shadow and Silas fighting for survival, isolated and surrounded by forces they can no longer rationalize. This is the perfect storm, and the great setup for what promises to be an explosive and definitive season finale. If you’ve been following the threads of mystery woven throughout the season—the strange callers, the mysterious figures, the increasing instability—you cannot miss Episode 4. The end is coming. Tune in now, because the silence that follows the broadcast will be deafening.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bts-comedy--2591871/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.

The Stakes Rise in "NEXT CALLER: Blind Faith, Blind Justice" - Episode 3 Breakdown The web series "NEXT CALLER" continues to unravel its complex web of mysteries in episode 3, "Blind Faith, Blind Justice." Shifting seamlessly between the haunting atmosphere of Shadow Sterling's late-night radio show and the increasingly dangerous realities lurking behind the scenes, this episode amps up the suspense and throws several compelling new threads into the mix. Shadow Sterling, the enigmatic host with a voice that could soothe or chill you to the bone, remains the focal point. He’s no longer just a voice in the darkness. This episode delves deeper into his past, revisiting him in a dream sequence that hints at a mysterious and perhaps troubling history. We see glimpses of the man behind the microphone, making us question the secrets he's holding close. Adding fuel to the fire, Shadow is unexpectedly contacted by a former lover and bandmate. This reunion is fraught with unspoken history, leaving the audience wondering if sparks might reignite. Beyond the potential for rekindled romance, this connection could also hold vital clues to Shadow's past, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the life he lived before becoming the voice of "NEXT CALLER." Meanwhile, station manager Mr. Harding is playing a dangerous game. Driven by ambition or perhaps a darker motive, he's manipulating Detective Iris Steele, attempting to bait the serial killer responsible for a string of cold cases from the 1980s. This reckless pursuit of notoriety could have devastating consequences, unknowingly placing Shadow directly in the killer's crosshairs. The tension is palpable as the lines between justice and exploitation blur. The episode's title, "Blind Faith, Blind Justice," takes on an even deeper meaning with the introduction of Elder Valerius Cain. This seemingly pious figure is strong-arming Mr. Harding to sell the radio station to a criminal organization cleverly disguised as a religious entity. The threat of corruption looms large, suggesting a battle for control that could shatter the delicate balance of the city. Finally, Silas, a recurring character who often struggles to discern the truth from the lies, receives a call from a disturbed individual hinting at a criminal undercurrent. This unsettling encounter adds another layer of complexity to the narrative, further blurring the lines between the supernatural and the all-too-real dangers plaguing the city. "NEXT CALLER: Blind Faith, Blind Justice" is a masterclass in suspenseful storytelling. By weaving together personal histories, criminal conspiracies, and the unsettling world of late-night radio, this episode leaves viewers on the edge of their seats, yearning for answers and bracing themselves for the escalating conflict to come. Will Shadow's past catch up with him? Can Detective Steele bring a killer to justice without becoming a pawn? And what is the true agenda of Elder Cain and his seemingly devout followers? Only time and the next call will tell.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bts-comedy--2591871/support.

This is an interview I did about 11 years ago on Dan Glazer's show "Comics on Parole" on American Hearts Radio Web TV/Radio Network. This was my first time being on and I did a few more interviews over the years and I'm still friends with Dan. We talked comedy, books, my radio show (The BTS Radio Show) which I stopped doing several years ago due to having a bust schedule. Dan no linger does the show, but he did have some very high profile acts on their, incuding Jerry Faber, who's club I was headlining the week of this show. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bts-comedy--2591871/support.

This is another Verizon Scam call, longer than the others. This guy thought I was going to send them chocolate, then got frustrated with me because I was talking past him. It was hard for me not to laugh a few times during this one.DONT EVER FOLLOW THE LINK they send you. These people can't even keep up with their own lies, he told me 6 I-watches were added to my account, then later said 7. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bts-comedy--2591871/support.

This time is 2 very short calls. The first one is a very strange "Amazon" call about my recent purchases, which turned out to be an obvious prank and they hung up. The second was a "google listing" call and he hung up on me pretty quick. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bts-comedy--2591871/support.

Here's 2 more scam call with the perps claiming to be from Verizon. THEY ARE NOT!! I did not click on any links they sent me and I called and reported the numbers to Verizon fraud department. I can't believe I actually made one of these jerks laugh. I hope these people are caught, I figure in the meantime I will mess with them as much as possible and also make the public aware. DO NOT FOLLOW any directions from these idiots if you get a call, report the numbers to you merchant. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bts-comedy--2591871/support.

These are 2 "Verizon" Scam calls. One guy hung up on me, the other tried to get me to verify a text he sent. I did not open it and I checked my Verizon account right after these calls and there was nothing on there. These are the people trying to steal money. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bts-comedy--2591871/support.

This is a short call, something about my Google listing, it was under an audit, whatever that means. I check it often and I pop up in at least the first 2 or 3 pages in the search engine. This guy actually congratuated me on what I do, I couldn't believe it. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bts-comedy--2591871/support.

Here's another book telemarketer trying to push this scam on unsuspecting authors. You re-publish your book with them for $1200, then they promise you anywhere from $40,000 to $300,000 once they get you represented with one of the big publishing firms. It's a longer call, but really exposes what they do, but "Jack Scmibbin" doesn't put up with that crap!! Hopefully, more to come. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bts-comedy--2591871/support.

This is a REAL call from a telemarketer trying to get me to buy into a book promoting serivce for my first book, "Make Love not Warts", which is a joke book that they have no idea how to promote. These people have been calling me for years and it always sounds like the same person. This time I pretended to be my own Press Agent. I made up his name, so I didn't know how to spell it when she asked so I avoided answering her.  My goal is to do more of these with Jack Schmibbins (I'm guessing on the spelling) answering for me and aggravating these telemarketers until they hang up, or confusing them so much, they don't know what to do.  Jack (me) was trying to sell my books to the telemarketer, HAHA!! Enjoy, hopefully, more to come!! Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bts-comedy--2591871/support.
