When Brooke Ashley was a kid, she grew up as a "Valley Girl" navigating high school in Van Nuys—a place where SWAT teams would descend in full tactical gear to break up riots. Known as the "dragon lady" who protected her group of friends, she spent her days auditioning for commercials and accidentally terrorizing Hilary Duff at the Gap. Somehow she survived, only to find herself at the center of a bizarre family mix-up that turned Jack Black into her #1 mortal enemy.Follow Brooke on insta: @tallbrownoneMore episodes at gladpod.comWatch the video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/35JLnPzlXjUTopics & Keywords for Search: childhood stories, Valley Girl, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, SWAT team, high school riot, School of Rock, Jack Black, Hilary Duff, celebrity encounters, Uncle Daddy, talent show fail, funny memories, storytelling podcast, family stories, comedy interview, Brooke Ashley, 90s nostalgia.

When Tony Sam was a kid, he grew up in the "armpit of Chicago" near O’Hare Airport—a place where the neighborhood tracks were so dangerous kids would get cut in half by moving trains. Known as the "white kid" in a rough area, he spent his days building forts out of boxes only to watch them get torn down by older bullies. Between his Catholic school expulsion after being framed in a library cassette tape scandal and "tearing off" his friend's arm for a school project, it’s a wonder he survived. Now, he's living the dream, driving a Jeep Wrangler held together by a prayer and a chopstick.Follow Tony on insta: @toekneesamMore episodes at gladpod.com Watch the video version of this episode: LINK COMING SOONTopics & Keywords for Search: childhood stories, Chicago upbringing, Franklin Park, O'Hare Airport, Mannheim Road, The Jungle neighborhood, Bridge to Terabithia, funny memories, storytelling podcast, train track stories, bullying retaliation, ice snowball fight, high school transformation, locker shoving, family stories, comedy interview, Tony Sam, 90s nostalgia.

In this episode of Glad You’re Here, we are heading to the shores of Block Island for some wild coming-of-age tales and 90s New England nostalgia with comedian Ben Smith.When Ben Smith was a kid, he was the "good student" with a driver’s permit who took the fall for his brother’s $300 car crashes, a resident of an island so small it only has one intersection, and the son of a Harvard-educated journalist who doubled as a local nudist. From navigating a town filled with "inbred deer" to throwing legendary "Smithfest" ragers while his dad was away at nudist colonies, Ben’s upbringing was a hilarious and heartfelt mix of chaos and community. Somehow he survived the pressure of being the island’s class clown, eventually turning a tragic family eulogy into his very first stand-up set.In this episode, we discuss:Island Life & Beater Cars: Growing up in a town of 80 people where joyrides end in deer bounties and totaled Toyotas.Eccentric Family Dynamics: The legacy of Ben’s father, Robert L. Smith—a privacy expert who marched with MLK and wrote the encyclopedia definition of "privacy."Comedy in the Darkest Times: Finding the "high" of performance during his brother’s funeral and the absurdity of grief.Smithfest & High School Legacies: Throwing the "Project X" of Rhode Island and the glory of high school slapboxing matches.Coming of Age: The vulnerability of leaving the island at 15 and the "tradition" of the morning-after-Halloween candy pancakes.More episodes at gladpod.comWatch the video version of this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdULOP3OlIQTopics & Keywords for Search: childhood stories, 90s nostalgia, growing up in Rhode Island, funny memories, storytelling podcast, Block Island stories, small town childhood, sibling stories, coming of age, comedy interview, Ben Smith, family dynamics, 90s memories, childhood trouble.
