JESSE MILES: COMEDIAN, ORTHOTICS EXPERT AND (ALLEGED GAMING) SERIAL KILLER
  This episode of the Boston Shit Show features Comedian, Orthotics Expert, and possible psychopath, Jesse Miles.

First, Josh and Jesse briefly touch upon Jesse's day job, but then get into how they know each other from various open mics around Boston, and one in particular they both hold near and dear to their hearts.
 
Cheers
 Cliff Clavin


The guys then talk about Jesse's upbringing being (unnoticeably) biracial and adopted, horrific nicknames, and a life lesson Jesse learned about kicking junk.
 
Then, Josh's intrigue in Jesse's day job comes back full force, and they discuss prosthetic limb conventions and how the hell Jesse got into orthotics, waking up early for work, and the benefits of not having cars.
Jesse's Day Job
 
While sharing similar stories of how they got into comedy, Jesse brings up Josh's insanely narcissistic wall decoration:
 
Yep, it's a real thing, and it's really on the studio wall.
 
StickDeath.com and the "Falling Sand Game" lead into Jesse confessing to crimes against the Sims.

An AFTER PARTY with Andrew W.K.!

Josh and Andrew W.K. wearing each others' merchandise
 
This episode of the Boston Shit Show was recorded backstage at Cuisine en Locale, in Somerville, MA, with legendary Rocker/Motivational Speaker/Party Animal Andrew W.K.

Josh sits with Andrew in the green room, both of them still dripping with sweat from the concert Andrew had just performed moments earlier. After presenting a gift to him, Josh asks what city Andrew feels parties the hardest, and Andrew replies by saying that it's always a case-by-case situation, and that wherever he performs (to humans), there is high energy and excitement.
 
Josh tells Andrew that he had recently seen Dave Grohl perform from the confines of a wheelchair with the Foo Fighters, and how Andrew has done the same in the past. Andrew tells Josh how important it is to push through physical challenges so as not to let the fans down.
 
Andrew W.K. performing in a wheelchair. A Trooper for the fans.
 
Josh and Andrew discuss partying 'til you puke, and Andrew's first memory of puking. They dive into how Andrew got into being so motivational to so many people both through song and speech.
 
Josh is like a pig in shit, meeting his party hero
 
Special thanks to Dan McCarthy (@AcutalProof) and everyone at Dig Boston, the good folks at Cuisine en Locale, and Front Room AV for filming the whole after party.

Dan McCarthy gets CLOBBERED
 
DigBoston was kind enough to have the Boston Shit Show and Front Room AV come down to the Brockton Fair to help cover Editor-In-Chief Dan McCarthy's journey into the underappreciated world of Demolition Derby. Josh and Dan discuss Dan's fears as he prepares to enter the PowderPuff battle.
 
 
John "The Surgeon" Loftus speaks for a few about being Dan's "Sports Manager" and Cornerman. Rules of this road: The bigger the smash, the bigger the thrill. 
 
 
Josh covers Dan's race and his feelings after the show, and how goddamn shaken up he is.

LINZ BELLA

This episode of The Boston Shit Show features Model/Queen of Social media, Linz Bella.

Josh and Linz discuss allergies...
Linz's dead dog leads into a racist candy issue: "Nougat" is the new "N," "F," and "C" word, so some censorship ensues just in case, because "nougat" is now a new defamatory slur.
Josh faces a Senate Committee Hearing on his sexual history, which turns into the Nuremburg Trials; then SEX, SEX, SEX talk.

This episode of the Boston Shit Show is a double what-for, featuring Charles Rivers (of The Good American) and comedian Terence Pennington, Jr.

The one and only Charles Rivers

Terence Pennington grabbin' dem titties

Burping on the microphone is simply "living your truth," and Josh speaks with the guests about how the banning of smoking in comedy clubs is the reason there's only one Seinfeld.

What Josh's sandwich looked like, according to guestsApple Cider Vinegar, a treat to any unknowing child
After a huge argument over free extras and condiments on sandwiches and little kids chugging apple cider vinegar, the fellas finally get into Charles Rivers' true passion, CRIME. BOSTON CRIME.

BOSTON SHIT SHOW: TOOKY KAVANAUGH (PT. 1), INFOMERCIALS, JOSH'S BIG WEEK ON LOCAL NEWS, PATOIS, and DICEMAN vs. TRACY/STACY

This Episode of the Boston Shit Show features Tooky Kavanaugh!
After plenty of talk about infomercials, Josh and Tooky talk about Josh's 15 minutes of fame on the local news in Boston, and the anchors that uphold the genre.

Watch Josh's 15 minutes of Fame here

The conversation progresses into a lesson in Patois slang, and how Tooky probably got a Frat Boy murdered.

Tooky then reveals her character Tracy, or, more commonly referred to as Stacy, and (to Josh's dismay) her dislike of the DiceMan.

The episode is wrapped up with some banter and news breaks about the cast of Roots, how friggin' funny Tooky is, and how they both hate 19 year-old girls, kind of like the one Tracy/Stacy is based on.

Hot Skates in Lynbrook, NY
Second Base.
Josh and Terence talk about doing shitty shows together in Lynn, and the time Josh appalled an audience member. A little bit of cross-dressing talk... then by "popular" demand and because he hasn't brought up the story enough times, Josh recounts his theory on Chinese restaurants.
Josh's go-to during a nuclear holocaust
The Shit Show wraps up with a discussion about doing open mic comedy, and Terence's secret on how to get an advantage in the lottery system.
