#67: "Finding the Funny" - Vanessa Johnston
Tuesday Oct 16, 2018
Tuesday Oct 16, 2018
Comedian Vanessa Johnston and Joe embark on a mission. To find the funny in some unfunny topics; Vanessa talks about growing up with a Mom suffering from schizophrenia who was in and out of state institutions and an emotionally distant dad. At age 7 she was the woman of the house, making dinner for herself and siblings while avoiding visits from Child Services.
The good news? Her childhood experiences helped Vanessa develop a strong work ethic that has led to her thriving in the entertainment industry both behind the scenes and on stage. You can watch her performing all over Los Angeles and listen to her on the upcoming @highsociety podcast.
Vanessa also talks about the time she won the Miss Minnesota competition even though she had no desire to and how that led to appearing on America's Next Top Model, which she also had no desire to do. It's an honest, funny, raw conversation. Also, she has a good relationship with both of parents today. Enjoy!

Comedian/Magician Josh Edelman walked 20 blocks and took two trains in the dead of winter in New York City with terrible food poisoning so his boss could see that he was sick and couldn't come to work. Then he shit his pants and had to walk home. Josh and Joe talk about how many lives he ruined that fateful day, a skeptics convention in Las Vegas and the time Joe terribly misread signs with a one-night-stand that ended with him waiting outside her apartment presenting a piece of street furniture.

Tuesday Sep 04, 2018
Tuesday Sep 04, 2018
Guest Dhruv Uday Singh has been on both sides of an affair; in India, his highschool girlfriend broke his heart after he made her a homemade (and rather scandalous) Valentines Day website and years later, he found himself a major player in an affair with a women who had an affinity for a specific type of dirty talk. Shockingly, neither of these stories end well.
