Hannibal with Burdy-Robb Lauras

The Healing Club ·

2024/03/26

Burdy skateboards over to my house to talk about Abraham Lincoln, porn-hub's demise, being single, and friends we both know from standup comedy. Burdy has chill vibes, and never tells lies. He's never deliberately hurt anyone, but he's pulled pranks and told lies every now and then. This one has some big laughs about dreams and hookups and gay people in Houston, where Burdy runs the Burd-Call show with Joe Navarro at Equal Parts Brewery. He's an artist and a man about town. We get

Sweet Dreams with Jordan Brady

The Healing Club ·

2024/03/20

At one point during the course of the 1985 Patsy Cline biopic starring Jessica Lange and Ed Harris, Patsy Cline tells a guy: "Yeah? Well people in Hell want ice water. That don't mean they get it!" At no point during this podcast do we discuss that movie or that subject or anything else of any value or substance. This is another pointless, silly, stupid podcast with no moral center. Jordan talks about doing a drum solo on the Kill Tony podcast and I fumble with a huge stack of note

California Split with Trey Campbell

The Healing Club ·

2024/02/22

Trey Campbell talks about standup comedy, sports radio, autism and more. We say nothing about the Robert Altman movie California Split, but we do get to know each other a little bit. I sometimes wonder whether I'm autistic. The spectrum is widening, so maybe I'm within the new range. Who knows? Does it matter? What is life? Learn all this and more on the new Healing Club Podcast.

Tess returns to The Healing Club (the podcast that was almost named YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME?) to discuss our upcoming STASH AND BURN visual art gallery show at Baskets Books and Art: 115 Hyde Park Blvd in Houston, TX. Go there to see the work we have on display through March. This episode was filmed and will be on YouTube. We get into serious philosophical issues regarding freedom and the construction of race. Also Tess flat out declares herself to be better than me in every way. We

Sweet and Lowdown with Mairead Dickinson and Shaun...

The Healing Club ·

2024/01/06

Mairead returns with her husband Shaun Connolly, who makes his first appearance here on The Healing Club. There's an unforgettable story about a school bus plus some talk about survivor guilt, sexual trauma, Woody Allen, Mairead's dad's job, and whether or not Sean Penn is hot. I think Sean Penn was and is a very hot man, but some people disagree. Like and subscribe.

Good Morning Vietnam with Hannah Abney

Hanna Abney makes her first appearance on The Healing Club. We have a slick, cool conversation about Houston and beyond in the standup comedy environment we call home.

Twister with Scabz the Clown and Jacob Calle

The Healing Club ·

2023/12/20

At some point we discuss the movie TWISTER. Most of this is high energy prank talk. Good vibes. Jacob Calle says that JURY DUTY is the best movie ever made. We all have different opinions. It's a performance. Scabz is a clown. It's a pointless conversation, but infectious fun. If you'd like to get infected by fun, check out this one.

Catch Me If You Can with Kate Vance

The Healing Club ·

2023/12/07

Kate and I talk comedy, music, movies, dreams, and nightmares on this meandering ramble of language and stories. It's a fun time with a nice message: Kate has a relative who knows someone who got a letter from the real life Frank Abagnale whom Leonardo DiCaprio played so well in the Steven Spielberg classic Catch Me If You Can. Very fun and very good. Like and subscribe.

Heat with Drew Hollway

The Healing Club ·

2023/11/30

Drew Hollway returns to Houston from Austin to talk to me about suicide and other edgy things. He does wonderful impersonations of Al Pacino and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Also we talk about how scary it is when people conditioned to accept only rejection or humiliation suddenly feel loved, appreciated, and/or desired by the world. We try our best to be inventive and ingenious together without bad vibes or arguments ruining the mood. It's a total departure from the previous times he's been on

The Bad News Bears with Eddy Aviles

The Healing Club ·

2023/11/22

There is a lot of drunk tension and bitter banter during this episode in which the comedy gets serious. All artifice shatters as we stab each other mercilessly in an attempt to relive terrible moments and learn the real truth about each other. Warning: not a fun one to record, but sometimes those turn out to be the best ones. This is two friends criticizing each other and speaking through conflict. The whole thing has an "intervention" feel that may or may not purvey unintentional humor

Priscilla with Albert Deleon

The Healing Club ·

2023/11/15

Albert returns! The podcast returns! We actually talk about the movie! Albert and I went to the movies to see the new Sofia Coppola joint PRISCILLA. We converse over spoilers and scenes we reveal in the context of our little dialogue that encompasses all sorts of subjects: addiction, neuroscience, Bad Bunny, Planes Trains & Automobiles, things that make you go hmmmm... It's a fun little podcast with two fumbling idiots making comments about Palestine and Israel and more! Like and

Another Day in Paradise with Drew Haught from Fly Janet

Musician and raconteur Drew Haught joins The Healing Club for a conversation about his band Fly Janet. We also get into how Bush did 9/11, Covid isn't real and aliens live among us all the time. Plus we revisit some of our favorite memories and experiences from knowing each other for the past ten years in comedy clubs, restaurants and bars. No mention of the movie Another Day in Paradise or the song by Phil Collins. Come see live comedy every Thursday at Avant Garden and every other day of the

Night Moves with Nick Palermo

The Healing Club ·

2023/09/28

Not a movie podcast about the 1975 mystery/thriller with Gene Hackman and Melanie Griffith. Nick and I talk about what kind of candidacy we'd run together if I ran for president. What I would sound like, what I'd do, why I'd win, and how I'd change everything. I would run a ruthless platform with style and pizazz. I would try to be the new, sexy president for the people. I would bring sexy back to politics and win because I'm a veteran. That is what we talk about on this

The Zero Effect with Bob Morrissey

The Healing Club ·

2023/09/16

Once again, not a movie podcast. I don't have a guest, so I extemporize alone and go on and on with political theories buttressed by books I've read: DEPRESSION: A PUBLIC FEELING, by Ann Cvetkovich; THE FIRST TYCOON: THE EPIC LIFE OF CORNELIUS VANDERBILT, by T.J. Stiles; INDIGNATION, by Philip Roth; THE PROBLEM OF DEMOCRACY, by Nancy Isenberg and Andrew Burnstein; and CUBA: AN AMERICAN HISTORY, by Ada Ferrer.

Don't Look Back with Grady Pruitt

The Healing Club ·

2023/09/02

Grady Pruitt returns for another great dialogue of discourse and discovery. We forget what we're doing and just flow. It's at least good. At the very least, it's good. Watch for Grady Pruitt's upcoming comedy special on YouTube and Spotify etc. Also check out past guest Tre Tutson's hilarious hour on Spotify: It is called "Bliss-fool." Yesterday I watched the old Bob Dylan documentary DON'T LOOK BACK. Big fan. Come see me perform comedy every Thursday at Avant

The Long Goodbye with Mackenzie Jewell

The Healing Club ·

2023/08/21

We spend the entire episode saying goodbye to each other. I bring up that new Barney AI movie and some other things that don't exist. Violence against real people is bad, we determine. We say a lot of things about Ghostrider 2, Frank Henenlotter films, the World Record Podcast, being sexual, Gen-Z speak, Subway Sandwiches, comedy in Houston, and more. Things descend into the horrible realm of improv storytelling. Come see us every Thursday at Avant Garden, where Mackenzie hosts the open mic

Knife in the Water with Ku Egenti

The Healing Club ·

2023/08/02

Ku Egenti and I talk about my white privilege and his career as a comedian on this episode. It's a fun ride through our minds as we think about hierarchy and dominance, strategy and intrigue in this gossip-filled chuckle-fest. Ku is one of the best comedians in town and a thoughtful guy with a unique perspective. Love him to death. This one was fun.

Summer School with Matt "Jolly" Rogers

The Healing Club ·

2023/07/25

We don't talk about Mark Harmon or Kirstie Alley at all on this episode, be we do reminisce over open mic memories. I talk about reading Eudora Welty novels for a long time. I do impressions of some of my drill sergeants from Basic Training. Matt tells funny stories about people we've met at Darwin's Theory on Wednesdays. It gets loud and fun. I'll appear on Friday on The Isaiah Effect at 10:30 on local Fox television. Also come to The Successful Show at The Secret Group on Mondays

The Healing Club ·

2023/07/16

I named the first conversation after the 1962 Chris Marker short film from France because Cody and I talk for only about twenty minutes. Then I acknowledge a shoutout on facebook from Jessi Saldana, who listened to the Scotty Peterson episodes of this podcast on his drive to Mexico. Suddenly I read a very dark and disturbing little fluff piece I wrote called "Ratfuck the Results." Ouch. Political! After that's over, I include a voice drop with the name of the podcast pronounced and

Groundhog Day with Tess Vergult

The Healing Club ·

2023/07/04

This is a very patriotic episode in keeping with the themes of celebration and support for the United States which I espouse and hold dear. Tess joins me to talk about the movie Groundhog Day and how it relates to our lives in these wonderful, wonderful times. During the intro I read a few selections from Jill Lepore's magnum opus THESE TRUTHS: A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. Happy fourth of July, everyone!
