The Hidden with Hannah Philibert

The Healing Club ·

2023/06/26

On this one we discuss police officers and movies. We don't talk about the 1987 Kyle MacLachlan horror thriller about what happens when a cop and an FBI agent race for answers after law abiding people suddenly become violent criminals. It's a funny episode about nothing, really. If you like Houston comedy, check this thing out. It's good.

Innerspace with Jordan Brady, Greg Deal, and Sara Deal

The Healing Club ·

2023/06/21

This episode tackles the biggest issues and important subjects facing the decision makers and power players of our times: what is gay? How is man? Is that weird? Do we even have a future in this populist hellscape of terror and nightmares? Do I sad? No one knows. It's a conversation with no bullshit, only answers. Everything matters. Life is good. Subscribe and report. Tell your friends. This is a good podcast.

The Manchurian Candidate with Joe Hanrahan

The Healing Club ·

2023/06/14

This episode counts down and dresses down all the worst creeps who've ever existed one by one until we get bored. Then we talk about what would happen if we had a time-phone that could help us travel back in time in order to talk to creeps from the past. What would it take for us to change history? Best episode so far. Truly groundbreaking, earth-defying, paradigm-shattering comedy talk from comedy heaven. Nothing at all to do with Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury or anyone else from the original

Hard Eight with Emily Peacock

The Healing Club ·

2023/06/07

This podcast is good because I forget what's going on and just trust that my hilarious guest will be as funny as she always is. First episode since Mrs. Kisses died. I think we do a good job remembering her life and celebrating her character. The house feels lonely without a cat. Don't really remember whatever it is we talked about after that. Go and check it out. I remember feeling proud of how well we did. Emily and I host THE SUCCESSFUL SHOW together every other Monday at THE SECRET

River's Edge with Adam Radliff

The Healing Club ·

2023/05/31

This is a high energy, high octane comedy podcast. We tear it up on this one. Lots of opinions and funny voices and things back and forth. I love the 80's teen crime drama River's Edge, but we don't talk about it. I named this one "River's Edge" because I believe Adam Radliff at some point stole his entire personality from the guy who plays Keanu Reeves' younger "Tim" in that movie (the same kid was in Near Dark and Teen Witch)(Joshua Miller). Anyway, have

While You Were Sleeping with Tess Vergult

The Healing Club ·

2023/05/24

Romantic comedy vibes and discussions of romance abound within this slice of life episode of The Healing Club. Tess and I talk about comedy, life, death, jealousy, misunderstandings, and boundaries (how to cross them, how to defend them, etc.) in this lively and poignant little podcast episode. Tess runs the T & A COMEDY SHOWCASE every Tuesday at The Secret Group.

The Hottie and the Nottie with Eddy and Egbert

The Healing Club ·

2023/05/15

This is a loud, drunken, stupid podcast with my friends Eddy and Egbert. We all say way too much about what it means to be lonely, toxic men. No mention of the 2008 Paris Hilton comedy bomb that no one's ever watched. If you liked that movie, then you might enjoy hearing all of us deliberately disclose our most embarrassing sexual secrets and despicable behaviors. In my mind this is funny, but definitely not for everyone.

Don't Look Now with Luis DeJesus

The Healing Club ·

2023/05/08

Disturbing. Emotional. Spiritual. This podcast is a deep dive into the dark depths of two depraved minds developed and deformed by the deadly serious demesne known as the local Houston comedy scene. Luis talks about getting fired as a teacher and I talk about the movie Sleepless in Seattle. It's not at all related to the 1973 Nicholas Roeg horror classic starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. Please enjoy!

Standard Operating Procedure with Michael Vargas

The Healing Club ·

2023/04/30

I'm reading the Seymour M. Hersh memoir REPORTER in which he recounts his years exposing scandals and coverups (My Lai 4, Watergate, government surveillance of U.S. citizens, corporate ties to organized crime, secret prisons and assassinations all over the world, the road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib, and so on), but I don't talk about that or the Errol Morris documentary STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE at any point in this episode. It's a mostly silly conversation with local funnyman Michael

Alone in the Dark with Bob Morrissey

The Healing Club ·

2023/04/23

Creepy, scary, spooky, and thought provoking episode of internal investigation and interiority in this episode. It's just me talking throughout. I talk about books and read old diary entries. It's my internal monologue and subjective self.

Hell or High Water with Grady Pruitt

The Healing Club ·

2023/04/16

Nothing relevant to the Hell or High Water movie, I just know it's one of Grady's favorites. He's here in Houston on a brief visit from New York City, where he's striving to achieve the same relevance I seek here in Houston. Grady's a past winner of the Best Comic in Texas contest conducted by all the Improv locations in the state. He won that contest a few years ago, he's featured and toured all over the country, and he lives in New York now. It's an intense conversation

The Friends of Eddie Coyle with Chad Alexander

The Healing Club ·

2023/04/08

Not at all a discussion of the 1973 Peter Yates film starring Robert Mitchum as the dirtiest, smarmiest lying dirtbag drunk / double-timing criminal worm from any movie ever--this is a fun talk about loneliness and power dynamics in the rough and tumble world of standup comedy in Houston, Texas. We really connect with each other and discover reasons to be better friends. Watch that amazing movie whenever you want, but also listen to this conversation between two funny guys trying to understand life

Escape from New York with Will Loden

The Healing Club ·

2023/04/01

We don't talk about movies or anything, but Escape from New York is a film I can watch over and over again. I discover something new about manhood and stoicism in the face of tragedy every time I watch that John Carpenter classic. The sequel's not as great, but it's still fun. Anyway, Will Loden's back on the podcast and we discuss customer service. We also remember our friend Judaea Driscoll. It's masculine camp: a conversation full of sincerity and silliness, desperation and

Spirited Away with Tre Tutson

The Healing Club ·

2023/03/25

I really like the 2001 Japanese animated fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, but we hardly talk about it on this podcast. Instead we tell stories about our families and religious beliefs and opinions and so on. It's Tre Tutson talking about ambition and reality and the conflict between the two: how to reconcile ambition with reality and make dreams come true. We don't have it all figured out. It's a good conversation that goes all over the place. I read my diary from

Mona Lisa with Emily Peacock

The Healing Club ·

2023/03/17

The other day I watched the 1986 Neil Jordan film starring Bob Hoskins, Cathy Tyson and Michael Caine. The best part is when there's a bunch of guys chasing short little Bob Hoskins through a city square. He turns around in the middle of the chase to head-butt one of the guys, knock him down, and kick him in the crotch a lot. Funny stuff. Go check it out. Great film. We don't discuss it on this podcast. Emily Peacock returns to talk about family reunion dinners, teaching art, being a comedian, and

Apocalypto with Hannah Philibert and Micah Green

The Healing Club ·

2023/03/10

In this episode we talk about everyone we hate and why we hate them. When there's a lull in the conversation I read the lyrics of the ZZ Top song "Rough Boy" in their entirety. Then we talk about how much we love Maria Bamford and Sheng Wang, and also why I should win the Nobel Peace Prize. At some point we do mention the movie Apocalypto and ask how anyone human can live with the planet's loss of biodiversity: what is the practical application of knowing that you're doomed? Very interesting. Good

Close with Ben Mowbray and Dianne Gallagher

The Healing Club ·

2023/03/01

I named this episode after the film directed by Lukas Dhont, a movie that made me cry for an hour and a half at the multi-plex last week. This is a very special podcast dedicated to the memory of the late great Bryan Hurzie. Ben Mowbray and Dianne Gallagher were Bryan's friends and peers in standup comedy going back to the mid-90's days of the Houston Laff Stop. We talk about suicide and grief, longing and rejection, power and control, ambition and success, and perhaps some other things I'm not

Close-Up with Mairead Dickenson

The Healing Club ·

2023/02/22

At no point do we discuss the 1990 Abbas Kiarostami film Close-up, which is about the trial of a guy who in real life tricked a family into believing he was the director of a film starring them. It's a strange little film that is not as action-packed and riveting as this explosive new podcast with myself and my old friend Mairead Dickenson. Our conversation explores all sorts of issues metaphysical, scientific, pseudo-scientific, human, boring, whatever... This is good content. Go to the SuperBowl

Shadows with Albert DeLeon

The Healing Club ·

2023/02/05

This is a sincere, political, inexplicable, and endearing podcast with one of the funniest people to attempt standup comedy in the scene in Houston: Albert DeLeon: hero, father, mentor, guide, victim, saint, and martyr of many faces and guises. Albert DeLeon's appeared on JFL New Faces and many other things in venues all over the country. He's performed standup for years and years. This is his fifth or sixth time on the podcast. If you know him, you love him. We don't discuss the 1958 John

Animal Kingdom with Abbey Vollman and Jessi Saldana

The Healing Club ·

2023/01/29

Unique, powerful, devastating, hilarious conversation abounds in this dialogue that captures the talents and personalities of the three best comics in Houston: me and my two guests Abbey Vollman and Jessi Saldana. I think I refer to the movie ANIMAL KINGDOM in some off-hand way during the rambling intro, but other than that no mention of the 2010 Australian crime thriller directed by David Michod. Go seek it out. It's one of my favorite movies.
