The Big Hollywood Table Read

Monica Carroll (@monica_j_carroll) makes her triumphant return and Dan Hall (@pukenightdan) makes his star-studded debut in a real barn burner of elevator madness, another Batman thing everyone was begging for, and the first steps of a true athlete. Also some great stories from Katlin and genuine, childlike wonderment from Dan the entire time. Basically it starts out off the rails, levels out, and...

Raoul Biron (@raoulbiron) returns for robbery getaways, restaurant complaints and down under dining. Then we get into some classic IP conflicts, a fever dream of the olden times, and a local cable rivalry. It's pretty eventful! There's also some talk about gas stations (lame!), KENO (very cool!), and an extended digression up front about a dream Katlin had. Also too many references to Driver's Ed,...

Hal Griffin (@hotdogtimemachine) returns to the table of Choices in time for a bunch of yelling and reminiscing about childhood troublemaking. She also kills it reading sketches about pranks on the high seas, pro tennis psychosis, and a restaurant for fugitives. These are all real things! There's a nice digression in the back half about a book Hal hates, and her secret theory about the author's da...

Shaun Connolly (@sirshaunconnolly) and Brandon Pires (@bpirescomedy) land on this week's call sheet, explaining electoral papacy, roast beef culture, and the soundtrack of our guilty pleasures. Also pervert snakes. Along the way, we pass through the VFW and the fast-galloping world of horse journalism. Things close out on a Zack Norton fever dream about suburban…something. It's hard to tell. Thank...

Zach Stewart (@zachstewartcomedy) is back to explore self expression in the medical sciences, ghostwriting for a vampire, and Sports Journalism. We also talk through our voices in performances and life but immediately get back into a sketch about Donkey Basketball, so nobody learned anything. It's always so fun when Zach comes by, and Zack with a K wrote the weirdest sketch wow who could have gues...

Rob Crean (@robcrean) and Raoul Biron (@raoulbiron) make their superstar return to relitigate a 90s movie, steal some cash, and ruin a museum tour. There's also some chat about haunted houses and Pilot Charisma but who isn't talking about that these days. Then a bunch of troops, some strip mall shenanigans, and a sketch about sea captains falling apart so hard that Katln and I cried laughing. Livi...

Bethany van Delft (@bethanyvandelft) and Cam Ohh (@camohhcomedy) are at the table this week to celebrate the miracle of life, historical reenactments, and an elementary school hero. This one was extremely chaotic, but in a fun way. Beau barked a lot, Katlin told old work stories, and Cam made derranged character choices . Also featuring urban infrastructure, feuding contractors, and post-apocalypt...

Tyler Swaine (@tylerswainsoffinsta) swings by Hollywood, MA to talk fuse boxes, money hotels, and the heist of the century gone wrong. But does it ever go right? This was a hoot and a holler, there's a really strange one in the middle that provokes a though-provoking conversation about public restrooms. You'll never guess which. Otherwise we have some competitive undertakers and the Real Story of...

Zach Stewart (@zachstewartcomedy) and James Huessy (@jameshuessy) are having difficult wedding conversations about cakes, Hawaiian getaways, and The Dreaded Wife. From royal venues to family tablecloth strife to a showboating caterer, this was a roller coaster of modern matrimony takes and the dumbest sketches ever written. Thankfully, James and Zach handled it all with grace (the gay kind). "Wedd...

Carly's back to defend her radio station, Attorney Generalship, and something about firefighters. It all adds up, we swear! There's some healthy speculation about Kentucky Colonels and the Easter Bunny, stuff about the bass guitar, and a candy-themed piece of IP that sucks. Also in the last one we introduce the idea of a Grandboss, and that's emotional accuracy, baby. Ok that's all sorry for calli...

Bryan O'Donnell (@bryan_odonnell) and Brandon Pires (@bpirescomedy) build robots, negotiate deals, and rebrand the Catholic Church. But they do a bad job, because all the sketches are about people who are obnoxiously bad at their jobs.   Everyone killed it and I was extremely alarmed by the existence of Donkey Basketball, which is real. Also jokes about a metal detector, the national anthem, and s...

Monica Carroll (@monica_j_carroll) hits the slopes with some giraffes, gets into the blackmail game, and ruins a chess match. These are things she does every day. We also talk about the wonders of gossip, phone calls, and some slandering of our enemies. A fun doctor sketch by our favorite Rob Crean (@robcrean), a crypto banking thing about family, and the hard-boiled case of the Great Chicago Fire...

Rob Crean (@robcrean) and Cam Oh (@camohhcomedy) stop by for some halftime speeches, inheritance disputes, and salary issues. Also Cam was late, what a mentally ill diva!   This was an extremely fun hang, we did British rock stars, social media suffering, and the true story of a dogcatcher and the lottery, according to us. Also, a pretty reasonable discussion about improv comedy but you don't see...

Angela Sawyer (@downwitpants) and Zack Norton (Head Writer) participate in a heist, some courtroom drama, and the assassination of Julius Caesar. You heard it here first.   We also talk borrowed cars and the mental health benefits of becoming a licensed real estate agent in the state of California.   Things end with a funeral for a man and his small, wooden friend. But instead of a Pinocchio thing...

Raoul Biron (@raoulbiron) delivers a Stubbs A-List level performance full of fake girlfriends, CIA-style surveillance, and a corrupt, world-weary schoolchild. The range!   There's also some HVAC bullshit and a bank loan for an ethnic restaurant (British). Katlin wasn't into the conspiracy sketch but Raoul liked it, so I think we all came out on top.   Shoutout to @Johntylercomedy for writing the V...

Hal Griffin (@hotdogtimemachine) and Maylin get into desert island finance and suburban life on Neptune. Plus, Al Pacino drops by, but you have to listen closely to catch it.   There's a nice chat about high school bullying and at another point everyone gets mad at me for no reason. Everything I said was perfect, especially about the dog.   Also featuring: A haunted factory, gritty Boston crime st...

Zach Stewart (@zachstewartcomedy) and Monica Carroll (@monica_j_carroll) deal with municipal Godzilla issues, fancy poker chips, and door to door salesmen. The dog barks at the beginning and I get mad, but that means Beau is technically on the podcast. Sixth mic, baby!   Also jokes about golf dates, farmers, and porta potties. What more could you want.   Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowl...

Shaun Connolly (@sirshaunconnolly) brings his brand of Worcester-style justice to the high seas and the shoulder of Route 139 with style, plus a lot of yelling.   This was an especially fun time doing what we do best: Selling stolen cars and besmirching Europeans.   "Mutiny" at 5:54 "Car Ad" at 16:18 "Diehard 2 on Cable" at 21:17 "Fender Bender" at 30:34 "Social Security" at 37:51 "European Car Ch...
