Dumb Pitches

Monica is joined by comedian and military spouse content creator Ashley Gutermuth (Tonight Show, Seinfeld Challenge Winner) to harness the power of the ADHD and go rapid fire bad ideas that get us all distracted into some fantastic personal stories! Did Ashley invent the monetized library? Road rage reader-board? And an incredible tangent on her very detailed plans of what she will do after her hu...

Monica is joined by comedian Laura Merli (Reductress, McSweeney’s) who comes in hot with a handkerchief for your butt. When it’s hot and you need to get rid of some sweat but need something specific for your sensitive areas? Then they switch serious to shame those who get too many samples at an ice cream shop and what can be done to get rid of this. Laura’s new special is out July 18th on Youtube...

Monica is joined by comedian Sam Miller (The Tarp Report, Round Trip) who has an extensive pitch for a product that would allow you to not only eat but first cook spaghetti in the car. Spoolghetti! Plug it into your car’s lighter, heat it up and when it’s done you got one long noodle on a spool for hands-free eating. Then we shift gears into one of the bad ideas that starts the ball rolling on Sam...

Monica is joined by comedian Ali Clayton (Ya’ll Gay?, Country Queer) and shares directly from her Southern roots. Childhood stories of bad ideas that made us go “who was in charge?” Sleeing behind the lawn mower, hiding smoking and eventually parents giving into the smoking habits of their children. Amazing! Ali’s debut album “Country Queer” is available now, go follow @AliClaytonComedy and get it...

Monica is joined by television writer and comedian Michael J Feldman (Not Dead Yet, A.P. Bio, MANY MORE) who first tells us of his new solo show in which he plays through the anxieties of his dog, as his dog (No, But I’m Definitely In A Better Place Than I’ve Been In A Long Time). Then he pitches us some potentially brilliant apps, including a cameo adjacent that allows a celebrity to come out of...

Season 5 keeps moving with Monica being joined by comedian, author, actor, podcaster Adam Cayton-Holland to talk about his new special Wallpaper and reminisce about the beverage choices of our college years. He is convinced the drink is not the bad idea but what it leads to might be a dumb pitch that can only come from "Night Rage." Mixing Redbull and a 40 isn't as bad as what gets Adam suspended...

LIVE FROM THE UPPER LEFT FEST IN SEATTLE Season 5 is here! Monica is joined by comedian and Podcaster Erin Ingle (Comedy Central, Is This Normal?) Who more than eloquently recounts the story of a high school theatre kid and a crash diet that gets thwarted by the nerves of crossing the border... from Oregon to California. Then she pitches and candidly shares a testing session of the “Soup Luge” pot...

LIVE FROM THE UPPER LEFT FEST IN SEATTLE Season 5 is here! Monica is joined by comedian and Scientist Harry J.

Monica is joined by comedian Caitlin Peluffo (Late Late Show, @fter Midnight) returns to tell us the best and worst decision about buying a hairless cat.

Monica is joined by comedian and writer Rob Haze (ESPYs, NFL Honors) and as an avid sports fan and writer he immediately pitches a product to keep you comfortable on those terrible bleachers. Bleacher Bottoms! It’s different than any ordinary pad as it fits in your pants and fits to you! This idea takes on a life of its own and by the end the children who need to stuffed animals without fuzz need...

Monica is joined by comedian Ahmed Al-kadri (AhmedLovesBread, F-Boi Rehad) to talk about his new “Special Not Special” and gives us some very poorly thought through ideas. A dating style app that hooks you up with a workout buddy. We can only hope it will be used for good. Plus an arranged marriage tv show where parents of all cultures choose the person you marry. Follow @AhmedLovesBread and find...

Monica is joined by comedian Emily Van Dyke (Feeling Myself) and she gives us a list of bad ideas that have Monica laughing non-stop.

Monica is joined by comedian Liz Glazer (NY Times, Boston Comedy Fest Winner) who returns to give herself another shot at winning a Dummy.

It’s a wild ride and a great time! Follow @LizGlazer and join us in subscrib...

Monica is joined by comedian, writer and influencer Deddrick Flynn (Atlanta United, Dry Bar) and he reveals he lives in his car that does not work and constantly gets pulled over.

Monica is joined by comedian and comedy business owner Shawn Carter (Boston to Bristol, Blue Ridge Comedy Club). Shawn has new album coming out December 15th with Blonde Medicine and lucky for us many of his jokes led to really questionable ideas. Baby-safe equipment that changes when the child figures it out, is a good start. Ending perfectly on a selling things for your new car that remind you o...
