The Comedian Next Door

Hi, Neighbor Pkarlgh!   Please don't mind the poor audio quality during the month of the December. We are rebroadcasting some of our very first podcasts EVER. (Today's episode was first published in the fall of 2016, when Emmi was a wee nursling.)  Let us tell you about the Breastfeeding Activist/Feminists who have turned the act of feeding their children into a Side Show for the Ch...

Welcome, Neighbor! We're continuing our rebroadcast of John's first podcast episodes, ever.  This is the Comedy Sojourn Episode #2, originally published in September 2016.  Please forgive the audio issues. We were rubes back then... (Not like now--because these days we always get our audio equipment to work perfectly.) Andrew and Tabby are John's two youngest children, and they have a lo...

Every Sunday at 7:00pm Eastern, you should be hanging out LIVE with your comedian friends.  If you're NOT watching the Starving Comics Quarantine Show each week, then please send your excuses to nextdoor@johnbranyan.com.   Here's a sample of what you're missing!

Hi, Neighbor! It's nearly December, and things are hectic around here. So, we're REPOSTING the very first podcast episodes we ever published!   These were the days long before we joined the Fight Laugh Feast Network--when we sat around a tiny, hand-held recorder at JOHN'S house (not the Peaches' house), and we let the dog in and out while we chatted about culture, faith, and family.&nbsp...

The intro is fake news.  John isn't at the kitchen table--and The Peaches isn't co-hosting.   David Pendleton is a long time friend of the family and a gifted ventriloquist.  (That's the type of skill that translates well in an audio-only podcast, doesn't it?)   The men talk about various projects they're working on, but they DON'T want to be "intentional" with their...

We're at the end of a long, tiring day. But we're still going to record a podcast, because we're just that generous, Neighbor! Get ready for some hard-hitting social commentary. John is concerned his vote may not be counted because of his writing utensil, and the Peaches briefly considered running for school board on the platform: "My Kids Will Never Attend Here."  NEXT: There's an article pu...

Welcome, Neighbor!  Around here, November means BURNING STUFF! But how does Doug Wilson get away from that fire at JUST the right moment?!   Let's chat about Devil Magic for a little bit... NEXT: We like the idea of staring a new advice column. Dear Comedi-Anne. The first question to tackle involves kids being excluded from a birthday party.  (This story is HEARTBREAKING, Pkarl...

Welcome to the party, Neighbor! Our own Andrew Branyan turned 24 this week. He's the youngest child of the John Branyan family, and the whole gang jumps in to tell our favorite stories! (Legends, really.) First off--we're becoming kind of notorious at our local Dairy Queen.  Then:  Why Andrew should never get a job as a dog-walker. Later: The Peaches talks about being "almost insulted" b...

Whoops, we're publishing a day late! But it's always worth it... Broadcasting from John's house--but the Peaches forgot to pack the headphones. So, we can't hear anything we're producing. Hopefully it sounds okay.  John just got back from doing a comedy show for less than 30 people. This leads us to discuss the way audience size (and location) affects the way we talk.   Does that me...

Hey, welcome back to the table, Neighbor Pkarlgh!  Did you know there's a new purple M&M?  Supposedly she's female, but we'll see how long that lasts... Speaking of females--the women on social media are up to their toxic shenanigans again.  Newsflash: Women should be respected no matter what they're wearing!  (If you disagree, you're probably just an OLD BOOMER.) Next: Bef...

There's a lot of activity at the Fight, Laugh, Feast Conference! (But somehow, finding someone to interview is still a challenge.) Pop into the conversation with John thomas Oaks, Bruce and Jacob Johnson, the Podcast Ninja...and, blowing our time limit out of the water: The Chocolate Knox (David Shannon).

We can't promise this conversation will be better than LAST week's, but ...welcome to the table anyway! Emmi is wearing a lot of hats, and The Peaches is going to her dance class soon.   (Oops, sorry, we mean "rhymic movement.") Let's talk about Legalism!  First--we give a brief history of things that would get you reprimanded by Church People 40 years ago. (Cards, alcohol-consumpti...

John has been feeling weird and bad and dumb.  That's his way of describing his anxiety attacks which popped up this week out of nowhere.  Maybe he needs to do a Brain Dump! (Trademark: Mystie Winckler.)  But...wait, why is Luke wearing a bathrobe?  Anyway, this family knows how to throw some REALLY "dood" parties!  But we wouldn't be able to juggle all of those planning d...
