We have a new merch drop coming in the next couple of weeks, and we’ll be pairing it with a giveaway that we’re really looking forward to, so make sure to keep an eye out for those details soon!!

This episode marks the start of our Nashville series, the first of four episodes we recorded on our trip last month. We have more great conversations from that trip coming next week, and we want to say thank you to everyone who continues to support the show and help it grow.

In this episode, we sit down with Lee Kimbrell, comedian and opener for Theo Von. Lee shares the story of when he had to handle a heckler during a show, breaks down what he learned from life on the road, and talks about the unique comedy culture surrounding the Fargo Dome. We also get into what he’s looking forward to next in life, including becoming a father, and how that has shaped the way he thinks about his career and the future.

Today’s guest is Matthew Wurnig also known as 50 Dates 50 States. We sat down with Matt in Western South Dakota inside a mansion to record one of the most uncut and entertaining conversations yet.

In this episode we talk about the infamous group chat drama from season 3 of 50 Dates 50 States, behind the scenes stories that fans have been waiting for, and we dive into the upcoming season 3 finale and what viewers can expect.

This episode has a different feel because we sipped wine and kept it more raw and uncut to see what people think of this podcast style. So let us know in the comments...

Today we sat down with Jake Coulter, a 20 year old from Fargo, North Dakota, who’s making waves by running for mayor of Fargo. We talked with Jake about what made him want to get into politics, what his campaign stands for, and how he’s using social media to reach people in a new way.

Jake opened up about his media run with KVRR, his time on the Cboys podcast, our conversation together, and how TikTok has played a big role in getting his message out. It’s really cool to see someone this young take such a big step toward leading his hometown, and we wanted to give him a space to share that story!
