Just The Essentials

Connor Dunn is a Columbus comedian who is awkward but I enjoyed hanging out. Sorry the episode is late it’s been a busy time for JTE(mainly me). Enjoy us chatting it up and it’s been so long since we recorded I’ve completely forgot what we discussed so it’ll be a good time no matter what!!

Brandon Gerber is back! This episode was fun. Annoying but fun. Jeff was TANKED, messes up the intro, can’t answer questions about his tooth pains and constantly falls asleep... Brandon was funny too

I wanted to talk to Halima Abshir one on one without the chaos that is Jeff and Dusty. She’s a funny comic in Columbus who is also probably, secretly, the most intelligent. We discuss Egypt, her Somalian truck driver uncles and comedy. She’s passionate about comedy and young, so hopefully you’ll be hearing from her for a long time to come!

Eric is one of the newest editions to Columbus Comedy and he’s already hosting his own shows! We take a trip back our roots in this episode, Jeff’s cum stained couch! Eric has lived an interesting life and is very unique comic with an even more unique laugh

Meet comedian Matt Edwards! He has the best radio voice over all of us, looks like a Kennedy and puts syllables in weird places but I loved having him on JTE none the less

This is another NON comic episode and I really enjoy talkin to civilians. Elias Brice joins us with his own home brewed beer that he can’t legally sell to anyone.. Dusty doesn’t like beer but to hell with him, I had questions! It’s funny hearing a non drinker question a guy who makes beer in his bathtub

We had a good talk with Jordyn. She’s a comic from Columbus who puts in ALOT of time at open mics workin on her jokes! We talk about stand up a little but mostly Jeff’s drinking problem. He showed up drunk

Tyler is a new comic in Columbus who also podcasts and books shows. He tells us about therapy and how even if his therapist was a midget, he’d talk to her! We also get plenty of insight from Tyler’s gf who hung out as well.

Joey Mckinstry is a new comic here in Columbus who’s been coming out to our open mic at The Shrunkenhead! We got together and talked for a while and tbh I haven’t laughed as hard, on THIS episode, in a long time. I may be slowly losing my mind who knows? Enjoy!

Very funny comic Shaena is back with us and we have a great conversation about comedy, life and of course LIFE ADVICE!! We also managed to NOT get into a fight this time around! So please enjoy and get to know SHAENA!!!

JTE sat down with Columbus comic legend Ty Moore! He rambles like a drunken uncle and that’s why I feel so safe with him

Tucker is our friend and fellow comic and has yet again found his way onto JUST THE ESSENTIALS to talk shit with us. Dusty and I get into fight but as always we leave the best of buds! AND THATS WHAT JUST THE ESSENTIALS IS ALL ABOUT!

Technical difficulties but we got most of what you wanna hear! Mary Matthews is a great and funny comic AND she reads us our Tarot cards and we find out I’m destined for greatness and Jeff and Dusty are doomed

Chris comes by and gets everyone drunk on JTE! We talk motorcycles, RC cars and make Dusty mad! ENJOY!!!!

JUST THE ESSENTIALS is honored to have two Columbus comedians and two Columbus podcasters on this episode! Samson and Christian have been banned from Tiktok and try to get us banned from the internet all together with our conversations... So please enjoy

Kyle is a comic from Columbus Ohio who has left for bigger and better things! But he’s back visiting so we got him on the podcast to talk shit and laugh our balls off

Tyler Sessamen is royalty around Columbus’s suburb, Polaris.... He kicked it with us for a couple hours at Jeff Lidala’s place and peed with the door open TWICE whilst recording

Henry is one of my favorite comics working today. He’s back with JUST THE ESSENTIALS and we talk comedy and of course a lot of bullshit! Enjoy

Lots of exciting things for this episode. Katie Humphreys is back and James Godwin is back with a new studio for JUST THE ESSENTIALS! We get into a lot. We discuss why Dusty doesn’t do the laundry, why he hates America and why Jeff Lidala will be single forever

Simon Fraser is a young bloke from across the pond, here in Columbus doing comedy and making BIG moves! He was kind of enough to come by and chat with JUST THE ESSENTIALS for a couple hours. We talk about his travels, Ivy League schooling and work on our accents. Pretty fun conversation

This episode made my brain melt... Sam is a promoter here in Columbus making moves for stand up comedy! He’s a bit of a talker so I hope you’re ready for an onslaught of words

This is the nerdiest episode ever of JUST THE ESSENTIALS and I try to keep up! Pretty funny and I really get to know Stevie J, a local comic who’s been doin it for years and still out here killin it

It’s been a year and we talk with Tucker Lappi! Friend of the podcast and a funny comic so the conversation is pretty entertaining thanks for listening this whole time. LOVE YA

Austin is a friend of mine who’s not a comic... But he’s funny and I wanted to talk to him so I did! Jeff was there and SHIT FACED before we even started recording so I’m annoyed.

Meet comedian Yale Reames as we get to know him a little better. he enlightens JUST THE ESSENTIALS on military boot camp which isn’t exactly like pictured and he absolutely hates discussing things he dislikes like Cobra Kai
