TCND: Should Pastors Preach About Vaccines?...

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/06/07

Welcome to the kitchen table of the Comedian Next Door--a cozy household where there's laundry being washed in the background, and we didn't realize our mics were picking it up for the first ten minutes! (As always, we're very high tech around here.) We're going on a picnic, and you can't come unless you figure out the rule and bring along the right item! This is a game we play with 10-year-old Cami and 7-year-old Collin. And here's a new segment: MAIL BAG! Send us your suggestions for

It's time for another "Branyan Bit." Has anyone else ever had an animal in the house that doesn't belong there?...besides a cat? John isn't a very outdoorsy person, but the Outdoors keep coming IN.

TCND: Laugh at Your Kids (Life Isn’t Fair)

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/05/31

We get to play the Cliche Game with 5-year-old Emmi and laugh heartily at her responses. (If you have a Kindergartener in your life, Neighbor, then ask him/her to fill in the blank with popular sayings, and send us the results.) Next--we need to accept criticism when it's true, even when it comes from really awful people... And, speaking of awful people, we bring up the unwashed miscreants on Gab. Some gross stuff comes out of people's hearts when you let them talk freely. But don't give into

TCND: Branyan Bits! Flippin Road Signs and Farts

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/05/25

From time to time, it is appropriate for comedians to put something funny on their podcast, so the following is completely appropriate... John tells you the name of the only town he might consider moving to. What should you do when you see a distracted driver? How can we be sure God has a sense of humor? What's the Universal punchline?... All this and more in today's Branyan Bit. We can't be funny without you! To support John Branyan, become a member of the Comedy Clique. (Details at

2021/05/24

We're recording on a Sunday, and the Comedian's house is FULL of family. (Listen to the chatter in the background...) Amanda, aka The Peaches, has been wrangling approximately 4,127 children this week. So she's a little impatient with John's slow reading of emails. A listener wants to know where to find The Peaches' blog posts, and--whoops--we never actually answer that question. (Here, Neighbor! culturesatwar.wordpress.com) It turns out, we made a strong case for "the Indissolubility of

TCND: HOUSEGUESTS Mark and Deanna Gungor

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/05/19

Mark and Deanna Gungor are in the house today...on our computer screen. Doorbells are ringing, kids are laughing in the background, and we're talking about how Mark upset some people on social media. Topics include: Separating from abusive spouses, the problems with marriage counseling, asking questions, and "Women be crazy." (But don't say that last part on Facebook!) "I promise you guys, this Sunday there will be churches all across America where Johnny and Suzie are getting a divorce, and

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/05/17

We start the episode playing a game with 10-year-old Cami and 7-year-old Collin you can try with your family in the car or waiting areas... Then John/Dad/Grandpa reads a study that concludes women are "healthier" in churches with female leaders. He has some advice for people who want to laugh about that. Later, the Peaches brings up "Husbands are the heads, but wives are the necks." She shares the name of a preacher who agrees with the Bible that Jesus is the Gate...but he says Christians are

TCND: HOUSEGUEST Carmen Schober

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/05/12

From time to time, we have house guests come to visit! When that happens, we throw all structure and professionalism out the window and simply go with the flow. In today's special episode, we share the table with author and editor at Staseos, CARMEN SCHOBER. Topics include Christian fiction, getting cancelled, gender roles, and whether it's appropriate for women to beat the crap out of each other. "Some people may be hesitant to read my book because they think I'm casting women in this G.I. Jane

TCND: Branyan Bits, Boardgames and Camping

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/05/11

Every Tuesday, the Comedian Next Door publishes a sample of John's comedy, from one of his projects. (I mean, we never have before. But we'll start today!) In this clip, John takes you back to your childhood, fighting about Monopoly and trying to play Army Man with THAT KID in the neighborhood. (You know the one.) Also, camping is awful, and John is really bad at it. By the way, we're going camping with a bunch of comedian friends this August. Join us! (Details at johnbranyan.com) Follow John

TCND: We Don’t Feel Like Doing This (Forgive-a-Bit)

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/05/10

After a long day of birthday festivities, everyone is pretty distractable. John and Peaches are joined by the newly 10-year-old Cami, as well as the Podcast Ninja: Luke. How does our family handle bad moods and perceived injustices? (What are some weird things Tabby and Peaches have gotten mad about?) QUICK! Say the first word that pops into your head--no hesitation! Peaches is feeling sentimental and wants to thank all the But-People out there. (That's spelled with one 'T'.) And a listener

TCND: Guilty Pleasure and Nagging Wives (All Songs...

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/05/03

John and the Peaches have a lot to disagree about--including music theory and what it tastes like when you combine wheat thins with green grapes. Then, John reads an email from a listener/neighbor asking for his take on Christian Hedonism. (Is it a sin to enjoy things?) Meanwhile, the Peaches nearly ruptures her ear drums trying to fix her headphones. Next, a female neighbor wants to challenge the recommendation that everyone should "say true things," because it could lead to nagging and

TCND: Accurate Wedding Vows (Urns Are Hard to Dress)

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/04/26

The Peaches doesn't want to talk about Brood X. Some listeners actually took us up on the offer to write their "honest wedding vows," so we share the resulting masterpieces! Then--the Good Grief segment features a story about stillbirth/child-loss. Is the world ready for parents who include laughter as part of the mourning process? Next--the Peaches pleads with humanity to get in the habit of saying true things (for crying out loud). And finally, John invites you to die with him on yet another

TCND: Famous Friends and Head Tents (Like, you know?)

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/04/19

This is the first OFFICIAL episode of The Comedian Next Door--if you don't count the Super Secret Alpha Test Episode. (Which we don't.) We're immediately interrupted by a phone call from a fellow comedian friend. Then we discuss various reasons a person may intentionally look ridiculous in public, including a family story about Tim (John's son--Peaches' brother) wearing something that didn't belong to him, just for laughs. Finally, John proposes a hill to die on and invites you to join...if only

TCND: Meet the New Neighbors (Don’t Beware of Dog)

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/04/19

When you're a member of a comedian's family, everyone wants to know: "Is he funny at home?!" Four years ago, we decided to turn on a recorder so you could judge for yourself. Now that we're moving our podcast to a new "neighborhood" on the Fight Laugh Feast Network, we do our best to introduce ourselves with clarity and enthusiasm. (Spoilers: we fail miserably.) Ice-breakers are awkward, and we'd rather skip the First Impressions so we can jump straight to being Old Friends. But just bear with

TCND: Chronic Pain and Divorce Drama (This Little Piggy)

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/04/19

Good Grief! We help a listener find humor in chronic pain that resulted from military service. The Peaches shares about the first time one of her blog posts caused social media outrage. Related: weddings would be much more interesting if the vows were written for honesty rather than poetry. Finally, John criticizes Tim Keller, but The Peaches isn't convinced he picked a good "hill" this time. Let us know if you agree! Email questions/comments for the Comedian Next Door to:

TCND: Homeschool Woe and Sinful Humor (Your Ministry...

The Comedian Next Door ·

2021/04/19

The Peaches is having one of "those" homeschool days. Emmi (5-years-old) requires some discipline right off the bat. A listener asks John whether he can trust his sense of humor considering humans are sinful creatures. And we unpack the reasons we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. This results in possibly the best analogy about our relationship with God that we've ever stumbled upon!
