Ep. 30 - Erin Foley 24.11.2014

It's me, Chris Fairbanks, co-host of Do You Need a Ride? with Karen Kilgariff. I realized today that I'm just going to write these in first person and stop pretending to be a third party, like people do when they type up a resume or call in as a fake personal assistant to a comedy club. I just wanna let you listeners know that this episode with Erin Foley is probably my favorite DYNAR yet. Everyon...

Ep. 29 - Matt McCarthy 17.11.2014

Matt McCarthy gets picked up by Karen and Chris at an undisclosed location somewhere in Hollywood for a stroll around Los Angeles. Matt is a delightful madman and it's really fun to hear him talk passionately about wrestling, and his quest to keep it pure. He's a terrific listen. allthingscomedy.com http://chrisfairbanks.com/store/ Follow Karen and Chris on Twitter! @KarenKilgariff and @ChrisFairb...

Ep. 28 - Patrick Keane 10.11.2014

Karen and Chris pick up Patrick Keane, much like a gigolo, just west of Los Angeles' downtown area. In the car, while recording, they talk with him about all things pertinent to life. Yes, all of life's subjects. Ultimately, he's brought to The Monty Bar, where they then record his set at a show there. Patrick Keane is hilarious, and the proof is at the end of this episode. http://astrecords.com h...

Karen and Chris pick up Mike O'Connell from his quaint Larchmont area residence, and podcast in the Honda all the way to his Los Angeles storytelling show; "Drunken Tales of Glory and Shame." At the end of the episode, we get an O'connell tale that is just that, with a slight dash of horrifying.  http://shop.rooftopcomedy.com/album/fairbanks http://www.mikeoconnell.net http://allthingscomedy.com Y...

Ep. 26 - Jamie Lee 20.10.2014

Jamie Lee gets picked up all Uber style by Karen and Chris, in Karen's dangerous Honda Fit (Karen is a good driver, it's just that it's a very tiny car), for a mobile podcast, slash, ride to her home. Jamie is a pure delight. She's smart as a whip, funny as hell, quick as the dickens, and cute as a bell, and makes for a terrific guest on an episode that's perhaps, and I hate to say this so early i...

Ep. 25 - Just Karen And Chris 14.10.2014

Ep. 24 - Andy Kindler 06.10.2014

Karen and Chris pick up Andy Kindler at a high profile Hollywood entertainment meeting that he went directly to, from LAX, on his own accord. At which point they pick him up in their Accord. That was a hilarious joke. Andy is so quick and so funny, this is an episode you will no doubt have to listen to more than once. Karen and Chris are on point too. Even the car was running better than usual. En...

Ep. 23 - David Hunstberger 29.09.2014

"Karen and Chris meet "Professor Blastoff" host David Hunstberger, wandering around in front of his house barefoot, after bringing himself home from LAX. (They were going to pick him up at the airport, but had an emergency Honda maintenance issue that is too boring to get into, so they met Dave at his place and drove around his neighborhood.) We cover animation, peanut voice-over work, the reasons...

Ep. 22 - Todd Barry 22.09.2014

New York based stand up comedy superstar Todd Barry jumps into the Honda at LAX to do all the best shows in Los Angeles, in addition to an @midnight taping. Being that he is just about every professional comedian's favorite comic, Karen and Chris are very excited to have him on the show. This episode is simply terrific. http://www.toddbarry.com/   http://shop.rooftopcomedy.com/album/fairbanks Foll...

Ep. 21 - Jackie Kashian 15.09.2014

"Karen and Chris pick up Jackie Kashian at Burbank's Bob Hope International Airport. Which is better than having Bob Hope himself on, because she is much funnier and smarter than him, and doesn't have dispariging things things to say about the Koreans. I say this a lot, but she just might be the best guest we've had so far. Listen to Jackie!" http://www.jackiekashian.com   http://shop.rooftopcomed...

Ep. 20 - Chris' Dad Part 2: James W Fairbanks 08.09.2014

Chris' father Jim drives him to the little MSO airport in Missoula, Montana after visiting the beautiful Big Sky Country for his best friend's wedding. Chris's dad talks about his interviewing of Jim Jones right before the guy made his followers drink poisoned Kool-Aid, in what was a famous example of how 'absolute power corrupts absolutely'. Everybody should listen to Jim Fairbanks. He's terrific...

Ep. 19 - Labor Day Episode! 01.09.2014

Karen and Chris, out of respect for our nation's Labor Day, refuse to bother any potential comedian guests with the labor of being on their podcast, assuming also, that LA's comedians are all off relaxing at one of the many potential beach parties Southern California has to offer. Karen has a work related indoor party, so Chris drives her to it. He has no plans at all. Fortunately for you though,...

Ep. 18 - KATE BERLANT 25.08.2014

Karen and Chris pick up the always magnetic and highly improvisational stand up comedian, Kate Berlant, from LAX, after having been at the High Plains Comedy Festival in Denver, CO. She is simply terrific, so prepare yourself. http://shop.rooftopcomedy.com/album/fairbanks https://twitter.com/kateberlant Follow DYNAR: https://www.instagram.com/dynarpodcast/ https://twitter.com/DynarPodcast https://...

Ep. 17 - Chris' Dad: James W Fairbanks 18.08.2014

Chris and his father Jim swap stories as they drive to the town dump in Missoula, Montana to drop off a broken down gas grill. Chris's dad has been a radio DJ, a joke writer for Sammy Shore, a furniture maker, a security alarm installer, an amazing artist, a teacher, and an appraiser and property tax assessor for the State of Montana. He was also Chris' #1 comedic influence. Everybody should liste...

Ep. 16 - Guy Branum 09.08.2014

Chris and Karen grab the hilarious Guy Branum before tearing around the streets of Hollywood in the '08 Honda Accord. His laugh will mend your soul...or at least help balance out any feelings of panic caused by Chris's traffic blurtings. http://shop.rooftopcomedy.com/album/fairbanks http://www.guybranum.com/ Follow DYNAR: https://www.instagram.com/dynarpodcast/ https://twitter.com/DynarPodcast htt...

Ep. 15 - Karen And Chris Reunion 01.08.2014

After a two episode hiatus, Karen gets back in the Honda after the brief obstacle that is her lucrative career. Before we drop her off at Meltdown for her feature spot on Guy Branum's album recording concert, they decide to hammer out one of their most rapid fire, riff heavy broadcasts to date. This one is a stellar gem of an episode. http://shop.rooftopcomedy.com/album/fairbanks Follow DYNAR: htt...

Ep. 14 - Matt Kirshen & Henry Phillips 25.07.2014

MATT KIRSHEN AND HENRY PHILLIPS Chris takes one of London's premiere stand ups of "Last Comic Standing" fame, Matt Kirshen, from the Hollywood Improv, to LAX, for what Matt classifies as a 'social' visit to Atlanta. We can only assume that means he is an international spy, as we know anyone young and dashing with a British accent is likely to be. Along the way, Henry Phillips hops in, and acts as...

Ep. 13 - Chris Fairbanks: Totally Alone 18.07.2014

Chris takes his lonely self to his show at Flappers in Burbank while Karen is at home fulfilling a writing deadline. WARNING: This is not a legitimate, full episode, with a co-host or guest! It is simply Chris, driving alone in his car, stumbling through a manic collection of thoughts while taking the wrong exits and alternately talking about his mother and frustratingly yelling at other cars in t...

Ep. 12 - Jon Dore 11.07.2014

Karen and Chris pick up Canada's sweetheart; Jon Dore, and drive together to Nerdmelt Theater in Los Angeles for Karen's big headlining night.

Ep. 11 - Todd Glass 04.07.2014

"Karen and Chris take one of their favorite comedians, Todd Glass, to the esteemed Hot Tub show at the Virgil in Los Angeles, CA. Along the way, we discuss Todd's past shrubbery theft problem, the fake and real inspirations for his sleeve of tattoos, and the similarities between subway stations and amusement parks. Then, we give you a taste of his terrific stand up set at the Virgil. On the way ba...

Ep. 9 - Henry Phillips 20.06.2014

Last night, Chris Fairbanks and guest Henry Phillips, picked up co-host Karen Kilgariff for her show in downtown Los Angeles. So for a second, Henry was the co-host, then transformed into the guest once Karen boarded the Honda. It's very futuristic and confusing. From there, they head to an art gallery comedy show with bad acoustics and an awkward host and Karen and Henry both do a song or two. Th...
