Hunk With Mike Bridenstine

Mike Carrozza, Shanna Christmas, Tyler Jackson, Joe Kilgallon, and Bailey Norton join Brido on the pannel.  Mike Carrozza is mean this year. We talk crowd work, skits, croon mics on comedy posters, superhero movies, Robby Hoffman, the Epstein list, 2024 death pool, Chappelle, Matt Riffe, Obama's movie list, the 14th amendment, and a winner's bracket for the song tournament. Video and extras are at www.patreon.com/brido. 

Last week Burns and Brido discussed the history of @DadBoner. This week we dove in a little deeper into some of the other background details that were going on while Burns was writing the feed. Burns got stabbed! Plus grooming tips. Video at www.patreon.com/brido. 

Mike Burns is back. The best man in Brido's wedding. We know a lot of you are fans of his through the DadBoner Twitter account. I’ll say this later, but if you don’t know what that is, none of this will make sense. So do a deep dive when you have a chance.  But basically Burns created a fictional character named Karl Welzein who lived in Grand Blanc Michigan. Then created an entire narrative and universe of characters and storyline on Twitter. And he did it anonymously for years until an investigative journalist uncovered his identity.  Since then there have been book deals and podcasts and TV pilots and documentaries. So today we thought I’d go through the history of that account with Mike Burns. Video and extras are at www.patreon.com/brido

Something different for you today. Dan Bialek is here. Dan is currently a pretty accomplished copywriter, and social media strategist, and operator of the Amazing Comedy Theater in Orange County. But for our purposes today, he used t run 12 Shiny Nickels in Los Angeles. And he used to be the #1 comedian on MySpace Comedy.  Until recently, 12 Shiny Nickels was the best show experience I’ve had in Los Angeles. It’s where I met most of the LA comics I know. It’s where I taped my first TV set for Last Call with Carson Daly. And I thought if I were to do an LA version of my book, I’d definitely do a chapter on Dan or that show. Plus, the story of how he became the #1 comic on MySpace is pretty epic.
