The Dork Forest

We speak of overeducated, underemployed, crowded living condition THEATER. It’s really most of the world. But young men wrote about it and it fascinated a Ethan Stanislawski @ethanstancomedy. He knows British Theater and we discuss it. As well as the big issues and Jerry Lewis movies. I learned things. It was fascinating and fun. You will enjoy.

COSPLAY is for everyone and Judith Stephens @OMG_DJ_Judy of Women of Marvel Pod SEWS and has facts and encouragement and this was a great one. I learned stuff. Enjoy!

Cindy Caponera (@cccap and @cindycaponera on IG) is FUNNY. And she has memorized because she was MESMERIZED so many scenes in cop TV shows. Then just movie scenes. She must return. You will love.

Raised on the road; learning the ropes and meeting ALMOST ALL decent dudes while loving comedy. Carmen Morales @thefunnycarmen is a great comic and has the best attitude. Another fascinating dorkdom for those who love standup. Enjoy.

It’s a LIVE ep but it’s not a PREMIUM ep bc you need THIS ep! Treefort Music Festival had comics and I talked to them! @professordoye explains the Dragonball universe. @sofiyaalexandra reads her favorite/funniest lyrics. I want there to be a spreadsheet. And @SamTallent hasn’t told his wife he’s got 40k in Magic Cards. You will love this one. Promise.

I insisted he do this. This one, by the way, NSFW. Auggie Smith @auggiesmith has the BEST road stories and this is me convincing him to tell some of them. On the grounds that the people he spoke of were dead. He’s got even better stories of comics who are still alive. This is awesome. Enjoy.

TWEET! But the tweets of birds. Gary Anthony Williams (@garyawilliams on twitter and co host of Day Drinking with Gary and Elliot @garyandelliot) SEES birds. He sees nothing else. But we talk birds and it’s a delight. You will love.

She has the app. Just for the crossword. Michelle Biloon (great comic and @biloon on all the platforms) loves a crossword and THERE’S A CON. Enjoy!

TREASURE!! You know those Metal Detectors that people use on beaches? Denise Plante, her husband and kids LOVE them. She is hilarious and I learn stuff. Follow @DenisePlante - Radio personality and podcaster: Life and After with Denise and Deb. This one was great. You will love.

Sean White @seanwhitecomedy is an old school plug and play FASCINATING Star Trek and Marvel dork. He is GREAT. You will love this episode. I cannot keep up and it’s wonderful.

Erin Tracy (@erintracycomedy and @erinntracy on IG) is a comic and a baker and has a Masters in Dance choreography. It’s sweet then it’s fascinating. Enjoy.

Kat Burdick (@DrKatBurdick and @katburdick on IG) is a comic and IS part of the next generation that truly enjoyed the Star Trek: The Next Generation and we talk tech. We talk cosplay. We talk Trek. You will love.

My friend TJ Ford (@earthlingsanonymous on IG) loves bats and science and running long distances and introduced ME to the La Brea Tar Pits and is taking a “leap year” and traveling around the world as cheaply as possible and she’s gonna volunteer at a bat hospital in Australia next month. It’s great. You will love.

The best bathrooms and…The Worst. Bathrooms with Wynter Spears @wynterspears and I discuss… publicly, the best place to go to the toilet. Publicly. We reveal the secrets to a clean out-of-the-house experience. This was REALLY fun. Enjoy. Links to everything is at www.dorkforest.com or www.jackiekashian.com.
