Stop Me If I've Heard This

StopMe 2.2

We're still trying some new things. In this episode, we reveal some secrets or things we've lied about and remember some good embarrassing stories.

StopMe.2.1

Fall is a time for new beginnings. We're going back to school to reformat and streamline our podcast. After feedback from some of our followers, we've decided to shorten the episodes and break the show into segments. We're testing out some ideas and we'd love to know what you think. In "Then and Now", we ask whether certain things we're better back in the day or now (In today's episode it's before/after computers). In "What's your secret?" we ask for your silliest secrets and decide whether you should come out with them or keep them to yourself. And finally, we're recounting some of our most "Embarrassing Stories" for a laugh. Again, please let us know on our Facebook Page - Art and Susan's Podcast Page what you think. 

Episode 58 / Virginia Jones

  Virginia Jones is without a doubt one of the most interesting comics to grace a stage.  Her engaging laugh and sparkling personality separate her from the crowd wherever she goes. She joined us on the very day she is awaiting her first niece or nephew.  Texas born, Virginia began her comedy journey in Portland in 2006 and was one of an amazing group of comics to raise the bar in a sluggish Portland Comedy scene. After 10 years in LA, Virginia has carved out a career that makes her memorable and unique.  Enjoy and Subscribe and leave us a review.  PS... It's a Boy!

Episode 57 / Cathy Ladman stories

StopMe favorite Cathy Ladman is back to tell some great stories about life on the road in the early days of her career. Club owner nightmares, her connection to Jerry Seinfeld before he was a stand up, and her upcoming tv appearances. Cathy is always hugely funny and fun. 

Episode 56 / Geoff Young

Geoff Young is literally one of the pioneers of the Northwest comedy scene. Geoff started in the early eighties and performed in many small towns where no man had gone before. He was one of the top performers in Seattle for many years before starting a horse rescue mission and leaving comedy for a while. But he's back now and as funny as ever. Geoff shares some great memories about the early scene and traveling to Iceland to save a herd of wild horses. 

Episode 55 / Tom McTigue

Our long time friend Tom McTigue has had an amazing life. His comedy has been seen on HBO, and Comedy Central. He has acted in Baywatch, many many commercials, and the Oscar winning Boyhood. Tom explains what pushed him to pursue stand up in Seattle around 1980, his battle with drinking and his 20 years of sobriety, and relocating to Austin to be a dad right before his ex wife and the mother of his child committed suicide. Loving dad, power act, and successful actor. Seriously Tommy. Leave something for the rest of us. Still, for all his success, Tom has remained grounded and humble. We know you'll love Tom almost as much as we do. 

Episode 54 / Alex Falcone

Comedy Classes and cocktail parties! We discuss a wide range of topics with our guest Alex Falcone who has a wide range of talents! In addition to being a talented comedian, Alex has written for LiveWire radio and written a book (Unwrap My Heart) about a teenager falling in love with a mummy. He has taught comedy classes for Helium Comedy Club so we talked about whether or not comedy can be taught. Alex has also had a podcast for 10 years called Read It And Weep. He is a very entertaining and likable guy and time went by too quickly. 

Episode 53 / Fourth of July (bonus episode)

We had a great time remembering what we like about the 4th, what we don't like about it, what we love about fireworks, and some of our favorite memories about our nations birthday celebration. We talked about the difference between patriotism and nationalism and the difference between safe celebrations and unsafe ones. Lots of good laughs. 

Episode 52 / Susan and Art chat

In this his episode we recap our week, talking about the Planned Parenthood fundraiser and welcoming in summer '19. 

Episode 51 / Kermet Apio do-over

Kermet is back with more great stories and we got the sound right this time. We talked about the social responsibilities of a comedian in the current political climate and other smart stuff. We talked about fatherhood and a tour he did early in his career that ended up at a renaissance fair...in a tent. Kermet is always funny and engaging. We feel lucky to know this powerhouse comedian, winner of the Great American Comedy Festival and Seattle Comedy Competition, wonderful human and great dad.
