Between 2 Butts: The Podcast That Lets Nothing Slip Between The Cracks

It's our 50th show and we revisit two of our beloved recurring guests: music composer and new dad Matthew Scarborough,  and Jay's wife and B2B's creative consultant Melissa Jo York-Tilley! Matthew updates us on his progress on his and Jay's colab, "Butthurt! The Musical".  He also efficiently shares every piece of music he's ever created for our podcast. Melissa...

We open the episode celebrating our successes with new catch-phases, marriages, and Jay fresh off the high of a production of Sweeney Todd, which had been postponed since before the Covid shutdown. Jay recaps his return to the theat-ahhhhh, including a production glitch that everyone handled *just right*. Becca has another lovely installment of "Don´t Hug Me, I'm Scared" for the boy...

A wonderful episode to play for your family around the Thanksgiving table. We begin with Jay and Becca congratulating Tice on his recent wedding and chatting about the weddings of other friends in the Between 2 Butts social circle. Then Jay is up with his latest "Coolest Things on the Interwebz" series; this time, a Jersey Bro shows us his Most Alpha Back Exercises . Becca shows us Don&a...

In this episode, actor AnuRa Harrison joins Becca, Jay and Tice to tell us how to make the most of small roles in the theatre. AnuRa has demonstrated that fact in numerous productions, including "Julius Caesar", "Barnum", "Cabaret", "Sherlock!" and others. As we go,  AnuRa discusses the story of her name, remembers the creation of "Ushanka", talks...

We open in crisis mode, as the Between 2 Butts crew's beloved satellite member Echo may have asthma. Still, Becca switches on her tiny kitty-sized humidified and carries on as we catch up with Tice and Jay's old improv buddy Matt McDermott. Matt takes us all the way back to "Klinkenschnell, the Christmas Bell", his acting debut at age 12. Then it's on to his transition int...

This episode sees us actually go down a YouTube rabbit hole, starting with Becca presenting part 1 of "Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared" , a part-puppetry, part-animated short film with some Yo Gabba Gabba vibes, that, as Jay says, "gets a little metal". Then Jay recalls "Hanker for a Hunk of Cheese" , a cartoon PSA/ad from the 70s about making snacks. After viewing...

In a somewhat overdue episode, Tice, Becca and Jay look back on old neck-names, or nick-names. Then,  Jay shares his #6th Coolest Thing on the Interwebs, a tweed-clad troubadour's "No More Fucks To Give" song, Tice shares his takes on the Jeopardy's embattled host search, and Becca reviews her experience at Awesome Con. Finally, we once again set off the lawyers at Goodson-Todm...

Jay, Becca, and Tice sit down with singer, actor, director, and teacher Christine Maxted to talk about her time in "Annie", "HONK!",  "Aida" and "9 to 5" (with clips!!), along with how to not ruin your voice, and the various 'tudes of the theatre world. Also, how vocal folds look like vaginas. We then get into a game of "One-Word Song" and rai...

Our episode opens with Jay owning up to a case of the bubble-guts from his turkey sausage. Then,  Jay ponders wedded bliss and one of the Butt-partners crashes the pod and gets us on Muppet sex before we can get back on track. We do, however, compose ourselves, so we can chat with wardrobe wizard and occasional actor Larissa Norris. She´ll be telling us about her experiences with both theatre cost...

A roller-coaster episode for sure! First, Jay shares the story of "Remember the Titans" star Ethan Suplee, and talks weight loss and body dysmorphia as a continuation of his Jay-brain series. Then, Tice directs Becca and Jay through a dramatic reading of a recent storyline of Mary Worth, the long-running newspaper drama-strip about a shade-throwing old biddy fixing everybody's probl...

Lordy, Lordy...we've reached 40. Appropriately enough for that milestone, we're talking IBS and colonoscopies (although you faithful listeners know that's been our brand since Episode 1). Then, Jay introduces us to the biggest asshole in his life, his own brain, as he leads us in a conversation about self-sabotage and imposter syndrome. Along the way we talk about weight loss and ot...

Everybody is back from vacay! (Or at least were at the time of this recording...) After we recap our holiday exploits (including Becca's encounter with a  genteel palmetto bug), Jay hands Tice the interviewer's cap as we meet remotely with long-term improv collaborator, Sarah Marsden! Join Sarah as she thinks back on making her childhood friends laugh without understanding why.  Listen a...

We've got a really sick episode for you this time! Literally, in Tice's case, since at the time of recording he was recovering from a stomach bug and has a raspy/sexy voice from a day of dry heaves. Meanwhile, Becca was also "playing hurt" because we recorded on a weeknight, she was worn out from work, and in her own words, was "subdued".  Jay was his usual self, and...

In this episode, Becca puts on her Barbara Walters pants as she interviews her friend, actor Ahmad Maaty, who is commuting between New York City and the DMV area pursuing acting opportunities. Listen as Ahmad talks about his experiences performing in skits written by his dad,  and then "Annie" and "Tommy" with Becca, as well as studying at the Actors Studio with James Lipton (i...

This episode, local actors Matt Jordan and Katy Helper Jordan join us to discuss their acting experiences (Do you remember Matt's drunk driving PSA from the '90s? Can you get him a copy?), how they met,  and their YouTube film review channel, Movies & Mischief with Matt & Katy . Come for Katy and Matt's banter; stay for their thoughts on "Every Breath You Take", &q...

In this week's episode, we show we do not care who we alienate on Between Two Butts! Whether it's Tice the Levi Man exposing his butt crack to show off his label (sorry, audio only; you'll just have to trust us!) or Becca's fiancé Brian fingering the podcast, there is much potential to drive away listeners in the first 5 minutes! And it just escalates as Jay shares his Next Gre...

In an episode that is Absolute Fire, we hang out with Becca and Jay's long-time friend, local actor, producer, and drag queen Jonathan Fair, who is also the founder of Bright Beginnings Learning Academy.  Jonathan shares some of his hilarious stories from his experiences in auditions and in theatre (including Reefer Madness and Avenue Q). He also describes his role in producing Dragalicious,...

Between 2 Butts comes back from a sabbatical fully vaccinated, recharged, reinvigorated, and busting 245 lb. squats at the gym...although Becca has lingering doubts about her pre-"paused" J & J shot. Jay bestows Tice (aka "the Producer" aka "the Professor" aka "the Reston Virginia Treat" aka "the Master of Old-Timey" aka "Rover/Wanderer/No...

Here it is, Buttmunchkins: the episode we streamed live on Facebook March 26, 2021! Jay shares his 4th favorite thing on the Interwebs! Becca shares her 5 favorite movies! Tice is still loving on newspaper comic Heathcliff! Becca reads the live comments! The gang plays another round of True Confessions! Did Jay destroy the Bronze Bomber? Did Tice destroy private property? Did Becca destroy the dan...

Greetings and happy (UGGGGGGGH) Aries season  Butt-keteers! This week our guest is cosplayer Brandon James, whose handiwork must be seen on Instagram to be truly appreciated. In his handmade costumes, he has attended cons as a Xenomorph, Robin, Mr. Freeze, the Penguin, The Pale Man, Jafar, and many more. In this episode, he discusses his first childhood foray into cosplay, making costumes (sometim...

Our banger Three Oh episode begins with Jay making a pledge to be nicer to Becca, and then immediately putting to the test Becca's ability to be nice back to him as he reels off a list of non-sexual words (*SPOILER*: They're sexual.) that make him giggle.  Becca, under such circumstances, refuses to meet kindness with kindness. Once that topic is put to bed, Tice picks up on a thread fro...

Everyone's coming in hot in Episode 29! Jay has brought another one of his favorite Kenneth Copeland remix videos, linked below, and then Becca, Tice and Jay get out all their hot takes on Friends as Becca examines what was problematic about the show. (Between Two Butts itself, after all, is committed to providing 100% non-problematic material!) Spoilers abound, but one discussion point we th...

We begin with a St. Valentine's Day flashback, as this episode was taped a few weeks ago. It turns out that sleet, hail, snow and Covid did manage to keep us all in, or at least, that's Tice's best guess since he can't remember. Then local actor Matt Baughman sits down with us to talk about his acting journey, which includes four turns as Charlie in Flowers for Algernon and a p...

This week, Tice, Jay and Becca sit down with local actor Caty Nicholson as she talks theatre, her stage debut as shy Rudolph, moving to NYC and getting the shingles, entrepreneurship, non-sex-cult marketing programs, cosmetics, and her upcoming elephant-free Indian wedding. Then, Caty treats us to many of her signature Dad/Mom jokes, which charms the B2B gang so thoroughly that they offer her a ch...

We open with "(How Can I Get You) Alone?" by Heart, but once Jay has said his piece about not trying to sing like the singer who sing the song when YOU sing the song, Tice digs into a topic that he has been saving up for a long time: Heathcliff. Namely, the newspaper comic Heathcliff (who is the same as the cat from the animated series in the 80s), which in recent years has gone down a s...
