  • The Big Bad Broadcast EP 185 -- Adam Ace
    Jul 4 2025

    Here we go, let's stop now and take time to smell the flowers. All the flowers, so many flowers sparked by my previous mention of songs about flowers. John, ever the contrarian, expresses his disdain for flowers, leading to a comedic back-and-forth where I list numerous songs that celebrate them. This leads to a deeper discussion about our experiences in high school, the awkwardness of dating, and the unrealistic expectations set by Hollywood movies like "The Karate Kid."

    Adam shares his recent experiences as a surf instructor, detailing how quickly his students are picking up the sport, which leads to a humorous exchange about the dangers of surfing and the presence of sharks. We also touch on the absurdity of competitive eating, particularly the Nathan's hot dog eating contest, and how it compares to our careers in comedy.

    The episode takes a turn when Adam reveals his dating misadventures, including a blind date with an attempted murderer and the awkwardness of being set up by friends. We discuss the challenges of modern dating, the pressure of first impressions, and the sometimes bizarre expectations people have.

    Throughout the episode, we maintain a light-hearted tone, filled with laughter and camaraderie, as we navigate through topics of love, loss, and the absurdities of life. Join us for a fun-filled hour of comedy, storytelling, and a few unexpected twists!

    Thank you as always for listening to The Big Bad Broadcast.

    Jun 27 2025

    In this episode of the Big Bad Broadcast, we delve into a range of topics, beginning with a lighthearted discussion about generators and their significance during hurricane season, particularly for those residing in Florida and California. John shares his experiences with his generator and the challenges of maintaining it, while the idea of having a generator company sponsor our podcast arises.

    We then shift gears to discuss technology, particularly John's transition from a Windows computer to a MacBook. He humorously recounts the struggles of adapting to a new system and the frustrations that come with tech issues, including a catastrophic failure of his external hard drive that contained years of work. The conversation touches on the differences between Mac and Windows, with John praising the Mac's user-friendly features.

    The episode wraps up with some fun trivia from the Guinness Book of World Records, including the largest flower and the widest tree, before we share a few laughs and anecdotes about our experiences in the entertainment industry.

  • The Big Bad Broadcast EP 183 -- John Joseph
    Jun 20 2025

    In this episode of the Big Bad Broadcast, we are joined by our special guest, John Joseph, a seasoned comedian known for his performances on cruise ships. We begin by introducing our guests, discussing the quirks of barbecuing, particularly the unsettling fact that flies vomit on our food. This leads to a humorous exchange about the challenges of outdoor dining and the various gadgets people use to keep flies away.

    Then, the reading from the Daily Stoic sparks a discussion about expectations and self-perception. John Joseph joins in, sharing his experiences on the road and the unique challenges of performing on cruise ships, including the often frustrating travel arrangements and the sometimes chaotic nature of life at sea.

    We reminisce about our early days in comedy, sharing stories of our experiences at iconic venues like the Comedy Cellar, as well as our adventures with the legendary Beach Boys, travel, connecting with audiences, and the sometimes absurd nature of the entertainment business. Hey! We had some fun, but we got to run.
