Dumb Pitches

Monica is joined by Issac Novak (Upper Left Fest) to discuss the perils of poster making. He creates a show poster depicting the headliner's dog… That then passes away. Listen to find out how that plays out. Then go support the Upper Left Fest in Seattle this weekend. Follow @UpperLeftFest.

Monica has a fun at-home episode where she explains what happened last week and then pitches to products you might not hate. Roomba for the lawn and period underwear for your armpits. Comment your thoughts! Leave a review on Apple. Join YouTube memberships! Monica also used stock footage and random photos for the Youtube video. Which really made her laugh.

Monica is joined by comedian Steven Rogers (Colbert, Before He Was Super) as he shares multiple childhood bad ideas that include peeing outside, dating someone for three days and getting cheated on in that time and his disdain for fake canes. Steven’s debut album and special are out May 6th on iTunes and YouTube. Subscribe to his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/StevenRogersComedy

Monica is joined by comedian and podcaster Cory Michaelis (Dry Bar, Everett Comedy Night) as he defends an idea to interview strippers and sex-workers that starts out as a REALLY questionable idea on everyone’s part but after years of never giving up on a bad idea, it has morphed into a good idea? You be the judge! Follow Cory @corymichaeliscomedy and get tickets to Everett Comedy Night!

Monica is joined by comedian Damon Sumner (Weather Channel, Sirius XM) with multiple ideas to tackle racism. Including swapping babies for one year AND changing our derogatory terms to delicious treats. Plus, they discuss a cooking game show idea for the working class American family. It’s hard to defend but harder to deny! Follow Damon @Damonjr2 and check out his new album “I Know Who I Am” on st...

Monica is joined by neuroscientist turned comedian Jono Zalay (Comedy Central, FOX, Amazon) and it gets sciencey! Should we use out of ocean trash to rebuild the ice caps? How about adding gladiator style repercussions to politics and media where politicians bet their lives and fortunes on their policy ideas. Plus, a conclusive idea that everyone should have go to their high school reunions. Follo...

Monica puts out a call to the listeners to share the worst idea they have never told anyone and it turns out they probably shouldn’t have told anyone. Do you need to explain yourself? Do you like some of these? We won’t even give you hints cause they may be tooooo crazy. Join, follow. Submit your ideas and maybe we’ll do another one. Come see Monica live, including this Saturday in Renton, Wa here...

Monica is joined by comedian and writer Jenny Zigrino (Comedy Central, Bad Santa 2) before she heads to the NW on a tour including Carco Theatre in Renton, Wa (tickets below!). Jenny is ready for an arranged marriage and she thinks there are much better options than your parents or friends deciding… why not Google? How about a vitual reality that shows you what it’s like to be someone you have bia...

Monica is joined by comedian and writer Gianmarco Soresi (Netflix, Real Housewives of New York) who brings the passion to the pitches!

It’s such a fun and fast-paced episode! Give us a subscribe and a re...

Monica is joined by comedian Chanel Ali (MTV, TruTV) and they go rapid fire on some incredible silly ideas that maybe aren’t that bad. Scootch, an app to move people’s cars when they park terribly. A device to help you get all the weed into the wrapper. Body cams for doctors and nurses and more! Follow Chanel @chanelali and look out for her special dropping March 11th. Rate and review this lovely...

Comedian Chris Martin (Netflix, Comedy Central) joins Monica in what possibly becomes the most thought-through batch of bad ideas we’ve had. A fight escalating in your bar? Call in the Dog Squad! Hate changing dirty diapers? Baby Bum Gun! Can’t remember people’s names at parties? How about an app for that? Chris is fresh off his new album release “All Over the Place” so make sure to find it and gi...

Monica is joined by comedian Katie Hannigan (Comedy Central, Colbert) and she shares that a friend's “accidental” swingers resort trip sparks an interest in Katie. She asks her then-boyfriend if he'll be up for it (duh) but Google had other plans! Also, why not sign up to be a Sugar Baby after that relationship ends? Follow @KatieHanniganForever and give us a subscribe and review!

Monica confesses the worst ideas she has had for crowdwork. Guessing a table’s relationship status, asking the reason someone got divorced and talking to a puppet. All choices that she didn’t have to make but she still did make it. It’s Monica’s birthday week and we implore you to be kind and give a 5-star review before she goes nuts. Thank you

Monica is joined by comedian, podcaster and teacher Mr. D - Joe Dombrowski. Joe pitches us multiple business ideas that cover a spectrum of cosumerism. Wasp Honey, The Mamuu (a men's muumuu) not to be out done by an incredible drunken escape story. He also gives Monica a lesson in cruising and as always we relate it to the marketability of a silly business idea. Genuinely hard to pick a favorite f...

Monica is joined by comedian and writer Mike Mulloy (Faded Comedy) who pitches us some hilarious script ideas.

Monica is joined by comedian, writer and podcaster Shain Brenden (Assville, CBS) and he pitches us a algorithm rental service to do your creepy searching without messing up your own algorithm. This leads us to the idea of cameo algorithms and would you pay to use Drake’s algorithm for an afternoon? Plus, more drug talk! A show where you do Molly? Or the audience is on Molly? Either way it’s a GREA...

Monica is joined by comedian, writer, and podcaster Tom Thakkar (Comedy Central, Stand By Your Band) where Tom admits he is considering performing stand-up on his dead dad’s grave.

Spread some holiday cheer by giving us a 5-star review somewhere. Happy Holidays.

The producer is out of the bag! Blake Burton (Producer Blake, NAST Podcast) joins Monica to finally share some of his bad ideas! No more listening and judging all our guests, he's in the hot seat now. Getting caught recording a freestyle about incest, driving on a spare tire WAY passed the allowed mileage and drinking an entire 100 mg THC soda with his mom. It's a good one full of tangents and com...

Monica joins herself (Dumb Pitches) to confess that although she loves giving good gifts she will gladly sacrifice the sentiment for a good laugh. From giant underpants to your own ice-trays these are some terrible ideas. She does share a tradition that she encourages everyone to try and that is just finding stuff in your house and wrapping it up for people. Have fun and make sure you give a 5-sta...

Monica is joined by comedian Kane Holloway (DTBFF, Can’t See Straight) who reveals his very flawed past in business ideas before heading into his “bad date ideas” from his podcast. Would you go on a silent date... if you liked that person? Finally, he lets us in on his new comic book character Justice Beaver and it is even more ridiculous than it sounds. Leave us a rating, review, and subscribe. C...

Monica is joined by comedian Amy Miller (Comedy Central, NBC) who pitches us two-game show ideas including one where you win just exactly what you need. A good person that is working hard and taking the bus to work? We’ll get you a mid-2000s Corolla with decent mileage. Then they get into the goods of accepting bad jobs. Amy has had 100s of jobs and the best is being paid to play scrabble with a v...

Monica is joined by comedian and producer Chris Mejia (Bumbershoot, GOOD COMEDY) and Chris gives us some app ideas designed to help you. First, a surrogate date program for when you don’t want to do a date activity but you still like or love the person. Chris doesn’t like outdoorsy white-people stuff, so would you go on the date for him? Then a delivery service that brings you new underwear when y...
