Dana Jay Bein & Tommy "O'Deed" Williams

This episode of the Boston Shit Show features guests Dana Jay Bein and Tommy Williams.


Dana Jay Bein comes by to promote the release of his stand up special, Western MAsochist.
Tommy Williams joins to talk about beginning his stand up career, with some thanks to DJB and Improv Boston's 100 First Jokes V.

Tommy regales us with a tale that can only be referred to as O'Deed's Eleven, when he helped organize and execute the perfect heist... of a movie theater.

DJB recaps his part in Roast Battle Boston and gives some advice on performing comedy, which dovetails nicely into a conversation about the great art of Karaokin'.

Josh declares Rocket Queen is the best GNR song as it's more of a two-act play than just a song.

The guys move on to Axl Rose's and Vince Neil's aging bodies, some hair band sex tapes, music from the 70's and Elvis.

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/roast-battle-boston-tickets-20123704542?aff=ebrowse

Matt Kona comes by the Front Room studio to talk about the upcoming Roast Battle he's put together, going down this Thursday, January 28th at the Davis Square Theater in Somerville, MA. Josh and Matt discuss the format of the battle and how he matched up the contenders. 
The guys take a couple pokes at Chris Nakis, who mysteriously lammed it out of Boston.


The question of what sitcoms you wish you could have been on arises and some classics are discussed, leading into a conversation about the many brilliant projects of Ricky Gervais & Co.



Matt tells the story of how doing a 90-second set got him a spot opening for Craig Robinson (of The Office) at the Wilbur Theater in Boston.

Some classic Roasts and Roasters are discussed; they get back to the format of the Roast Battle with specifics on the comics and as if they were part of Matt's new found love, the MMA/UFC, and how the Battle is "No Holds Barred" - everything is roastable!
The show closes up with Matt talking about serving Grand Jury duty in Salem...
for THREE AND A HALF MONTHS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR WITH TERENCE PENNINGTON!






HAPPY(?) NEW YEAR!


Fortunately and appropriately enough, to kick off Season 2 of the Boston Shit Show, the amazing, unique and beautiful Terence Pennington, Jr. comes into the Front Room Studio to discuss new year resolutions, among other things, for the inaugural 2016 episode.

To kick the whole Shit Show off, Josh and Terence talk about performing at "100 First Jokes V" at Improv Boston (produced and hosted by the heroic Dana Jay Bein) on New Year's Day and the writing collaboration of Terence's first joke of the new year. We hear some background about Terence witnessing the police shooting of an innocent dog in the projects and how there actuallyare very lovely public parks in every area. Some horrible Google-ing enSues--for like, the whole show.




Terence does his impersonation of Josh's Andrew Dice Clay-inspired character, Andrew Dice Cambridge, which has finally been published in the Boston Institute for Non-Profit Journalism technology (, etc.) publication The Boston Bubble.




The New Year resolutions finally come out. Terence wants to step it up with the ladies and get one for more than a few months, now that he knows what he wants; Josh claims he's going to get back into stand up in addition to doing this ridiculous podcast;

The Italian plumbers under the Front Room warp their way into the podcast zone.

Terence prompts Josh to make a resolution to stop dating "psychopaths", and they both want to start saving some money. 

Josh explains why he doesn't donate his old clothes to Goodwill; the fellas reminisce about the good old days of the King's Open Mic, and lament the musicians that performed there.


The goddamn infamous Josh v. Chinese woman story comes up, BECAUSE THEY'RE OPEN! FACT!
Josh proposes a new holiday schedule for America, then brings up that "Black Lives Matter" had to become a phrase to get attention yet people are still obsessed with reality TV stars and what the fucking Kardashians are doing ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.



BOSTON SHIT SHOW Season 2 Episode 1: Happy New Year with Terence Pennington Jr.

Jesse Miles: Comedian, Orthotics Expert & (ALLEGED Gaming) Serial Killer

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.
 
Follow Josh on the Twitters, Facebook and Instagram @BostonShitShow, follow Jesse on the Twitters @HafricanJ
and see Jesse LIVE this Sunday, September 20th, 8pm, at The Comedy Studio,
