Cat People with Julie Talbert and Jay Marasi

The Healing Club ·

2022/09/14

Julie Talbert and Jay Marasi are the guests for this one. The conversation gets a little serious. We wander through mucky emotional waters once we get to talking about depression, feelings of inadequacy, how we compare ourselves to others and why... There's a bittersweet mood, but it's hopeful. No mention of the 1942 American horror film Cat People, directed by Jacques Tourneur. I read a passage from the Abdulrazak Gurnah novel DOTTIE somewhere in the middle.

The Funhouse with Jordan Brady

The Healing Club ·

2022/09/10

Manic energy and out of control improv laughs on this silly, deeply stupid podcast with guest Jordan Brady. It's a crowd-pleaser and a time passer. During the intro I mourn the passing of my dear friend Scotty Peterson. No mention of the 1981 teen slasher classic The Funhouse, directed by Tobe Hooper. I've always thought this movie was, in its own way, just as scary and menacing as Tobe Hooper's other masterpiece THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.

Don't Bother to Knock with Gregory Haney

The Healing Club ·

2022/09/05

Gregory Haney makes his first appearance on the Healing Club! We talk about how we know each other, what we've learned together as comedians in Houston, and how we spent our COVID months when the world was shut down. Gregory was in the hospital recovering from horrific medical problems which he describes at length. This podcast has nothing to do with one of Marilyn Monroe's first major roles as an actress in the film Don't Bother to Knock, in which she plays an evil babysitter. I'm reading the Joyce

Fearless with Chelby Morgan

The Healing Club ·

2022/08/29

Chelby Morgan returns to talk to me after a stunning, provocative, and robust standup comedy open mic at Darwin's Theory in Houston, Texas. We tell stories of family, work, comedy, school, and friendship. Chelby's one of the funniest people out there, and we have an amazing time talking to each other about whatever it is we think we know. Not once do we at all mention the 1993 Peter Weir drama Fearless, starring Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez. Listen anyway!

Best of the Best with Zahid Dewji, Andy Saenz, Eddy...

The Healing Club ·

2022/08/22

This is not a podcast celebrating the 1989 kickboxing movie starring Eric Roberts, James Earl Jones and Louise Fletcher. It's a mish-mash gumbo episode featuring segments from some of my favorite episodes of The Healing Club! I have COVID right now, so I'm quarantined and can't record anything new with anyone. Meanwhile, check this out! Lots of fun moments! Great comedy!

Life Is Sweet with Drew Hollway and Micah Green

The Healing Club ·

2022/08/18

This is a Frankenstein splice of two episodes from two different times: November 2020 and July 2022. Drew Hollway from the Community Shower comedy podcast and Comedy Bathhouse live comedy showcase at the Secret Group joins me to talk about one of his best comedy bits. Then I read a terrible poem I wrote somewhere in the middle of a more recent conversation between me and Micah Green. It's a cute little episode with some sound problems, and we don't talk about the Mike Leigh 80's film Life Is Sweet

Some Kind of Monster with Emily Peacock

The Healing Club ·

2022/08/07

Emily Peacock returns to banter with me about body issues, career anxiety, and creative limitations. In the context of those issues, we naturally and organically find ourselves chatting about the 2003 Metallica documentary Some Kind of Monster. I make some jokes about Mike Pence, Aerosmith, my family, the war in Ukraine, and more. It's a sweet conversation about time, change, giving up, moving on, discovering new things, meeting new people, and catching up with old friends.

Cliffhanger with Will Loden

The Healing Club ·

2022/07/27

Will Loden returns to talk drywall, politics, relationships, comedy, history, and ambition once again on the Healing Club. I think this is his fifth or sixth appearance. I'm a huge fan of his comedy and his online projects. His family had me over for Thanksgiving once because I was single and had nowhere else to go. At no point do we discuss Sylvester Stallone, John Lithgow, or the movie Cliffhanger. I intersperse writings and ramblings of my own throughout the podcast. Adult content.

Shadow of a Doubt with Dusti Rhodes

The Healing Club ·

2022/07/18

Dusti Rhodes joins the podcast to talk about her passions for comedy and teaching. We discuss (my) (pathetic) social media habits, the trial of Michael Peterson as depicted in the documentary series The Staircase, and a few other things such as the Pentagon Papers and the Vietnam War. Also, how crazy was it for the Grammys to award Louis CK a statue only one year after all that scandal stuff? Remember? Anyway, I do some weird diary readings in the beginning and in the middle. It's fun. You can

A New Leaf with Cody Greenlee

The Healing Club ·

2022/07/04

I do an intro. It's about the Olga Tokarczuk novel FLIGHTS. I say something about the cloud of unknowing, the self that inhabits everyone's self. I imagine everyone's self together swirling in a trough of human momentum. All selves becoming other selves in a constant process of transformation throughout time and history. I introduce the podcast that way. Then Cody Greenlee and I have an uncomfortable conversation about our feelings and ideas. It's funny. He's funny. We don't talk about the 1971

Blood Rage with Blair Ault

The Healing Club ·

2022/06/27

Blair v Wade at the beginning, angry stories about my past with some people at the center of a major scandal from the local art world all throughout the rest of it. I apologize for nothing. We're both angry on the day of the sad gay pride festival. Blair runs Grown Up Story Time at the Continental Club in Houston every fourth Tuesday of the month. I tell her a story for forty-five minutes. Blood Rage is a horror movie from the early 1980's.

Halloween with Albert DeLeon and Dexter Gutierrez

The Healing Club ·

2022/06/21

Trigger notice: this episode is scary. Albert, Dexter and I talk about our favorite scary movies. Albert describes a time when a guy working at the Dollar General tried to hit on him. We get into it over the Holocaust and the terrors of the Soviet gulags. Dexter hosts the Monday Night War show at the Secret Group every other Monday. Albert has a youtube podcast called Booze and News. Be careful out there.

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room with Rich Williams

The Healing Club ·

2022/06/16

Rich and I have a deeply personal conversation about gay marriage, bigotry, religion, spirituality and life in the Houston standup comedy scene. We try out some bits on each other (I shoehorn some of my stage jokes into the conversation). By the way, I'm headlining at Rec Room on June 18th at 8:00 p.m. The line-up is fire. This conversation is fire! We don't mention the Enron movie at all, but it is fun and I'm glad we got together to talk about my cat or whatever. Enjoy the podcast and please come

Last Exit to Brooklyn with Abbey Vollman

The Healing Club ·

2022/06/13

This conversation is a little more light-hearted, animated, and joke-oriented than a lot of the others have been lately. Abbey's a free spirited and charismatic young comedian in Houston. We met up on a Saturday afternoon to discuss the friends we know, the things we've seen, and the places we've been. Trigger warning: we don't discuss the 1989 adaptation of the gruesome 1964 Hubert Selby Jr. novel Last Exit to Brooklyn.

Adaptation with Jesse Saldana and Andy Saenz

The Healing Club ·

2022/06/05

Jesse Saldana joins Andy and me for a podcast that encompasses a wide range of moods, opinions, and perspectives. Nothing held back and nothing thought through. Freedom and danger. Laugh out loud moments. True stories. Blah blah blah. Comedy horseshit and roast battle material for the Houston scene. If you enjoy this podcast, like and subscribe. Maybe tell people about it. I got nothing.

Dog Day Afternoon with Hannah Philibert

The Healing Club ·

2022/05/31

Hannah Philibert stops by the Healing Club to have a personal conversation about comedy and life in general. Trigger warning: there's some stuff about heavy topics like romantic obsessions, family violences, and other bitter realities. These topics are explored with what I trust others will understand to be an appropriate level of respect and nuance, but I could be wrong because I don't understand other people as well as I think I do one hundred per cent of the time. Three years ago I lent Hannah a

My Own Private Idaho with The Peacock Sisters

The Healing Club ·

2022/05/28

Emily and Sara Peacock join the podcast once again to have a long conversation about art, comedy, therapy, children, suffering, death, and dating. I ask them which one thinks they're better than me and we get down to the bottom of that deep question: Do You Think You're Better Than Me? I should have named the podcast that question, but it's too late to change the title now. If you hear this podcast and think you're better than me, you can send me a direct message on instagram. As always, no one

Wet Hot American Summer with Joe Follodori

The Healing Club ·

2022/05/19

Joe Follodori joins the podcast again to have a talk about his new record release (he's releasing a greatest hits compilation)(his band is The Mathletes). We shoot the breeze and get into subjects that may or may not be philosophical in nature. It's a good time and a fun hang. The last movie I watched was called Wet Hot American Summer.

All That Heaven Allows with Joe Navarro

The Healing Club ·

2022/05/11

I ramble about Ukrainian history during the intro to the podcast--something about how The Soviet Union suppressed Ukrainian nationalists and starved out the Ukrainian peasant class in the 1930's in order to keep the union together, even at the expense of millions of lives--anyway--the podcast goes all over the place, as always. Joe talks about his family. I talk about working as a strip club dj. At no point do we even begin to discuss the Douglas Sirk cinema classic All That Heaven Allows.

The Taking of Pelham 123 with Will Loden

The Healing Club ·

2022/04/30

Will drops by for another appearance on the podcast I record in my apartment. He compliments my improved living situation and financial success as we discuss music at the strip club, comedy in Houston, totalitarian psychology and other serious topics like that. The conversation goes everywhere and pivots unexpectedly from silly to somber and back over and over again in a rollercoaster ride of thrills and suspense and love and laughs. We don't talk about The Taking of Pelham 123, although it is a
