Maria DeCotis and The Lip-Syncing of Gov. Cuomo
Apocalypse...Now?
09/22/20 • 41 min
This episode is brought to you by depression....because it’s late and I’m sorry about that. The death of RGB hit me a little harder than expected, and I needed to unplug from the internet tubes to keep my sanity intact–but I’m here now! This is a great episode, and I think it’ll take your mind off the madness.
This week, I talk to the incredibly funny Maria DeCotis about her phenomenal Andrew Cuomo lip-sync videos. I’ve always known Maria as a funny stand up act, but these videos have catapulted her to the top of Twitter! Millions of people have laughed with her, and for that we are grateful. They say laughter is the best medicine, and Maria has been dolling out doses to combat this pandemic. For that, we thank her...now check out the interview!
Just a reminder, before we get rolling on this week’s episode, I want to encourage you to register to vote and request a mail-in ballot if you are unable to vote in person due to the pandemic. This election has just become even more important than ever. Don’t sit this one out.

We are up to episode 7 of the Apocalypse...Now? reboot! We’ve come so far! Aren’t you thrilled? This week, I talk with Christian Becker about his favorite (and not so favorite) disaster films.

Matt Braunsdorf and The Future of Cinema
Apocalypse...Now?
08/29/20 • -1 min
I miss going to the movies. I’m trying to remember the last movie I saw in theaters. (Uncut Gems?) It feels like a lifetime ago. I would love to go back, but I don’t feel safe sitting in a room with strangers for two hours. I’ll wear a mask–but how am I supposed to eat my popcorn? There are so many streaming content options, why bother spending $20 for a night of anxiety? I’m sure other people are thinking the same thing when it comes to movie night. Will going to the movies be a thing of the past, and as a filmmaker–should I be adapting to that reality?
I had to talk to my optimistic and talented friend, Matt Braunsdorf. Matt is a director, cinematographer, and editor with an undying love for the art form and the talent to create masterpieces of his own. I knew that I could spill my industry anxieties onto him–and he’d reassure me that movies are going to come back better than ever. I hope he’s right!

Back in The Saddle–My New Podcast
Apocalypse...Now?
09/16/17 • -1 min
It’s been a few months since I tossed Jo Pincushion aside and started doing comedy in NYC under my real name. It still feels weird. It’s like being on a boat for 6 months and hitting dry land. I still have sea legs. I especially felt those wobbly knees while producing my new podcast, Apocalypse...Now?
It’s been years since I put together a podcast, and I wondered if people were still interested. I had the idea for the show for awhile, and I originally wanted to launch the show the day of Trump’s inauguration. My depression and workload prevented me from doing so and the idea just stayed in the back of my mind.
The idea refused to go away, so I figured it was my brain’s way of asking to work through my depression. So I made the podcast–better late than never, right? I’m actually glad I produced the show when I did–because I forgot how much goddamn work it was to produce a podcast. I spent the summer stocking up on interviews, and I’m editing and releasing episodes every Tuesday through November 7th. So get ’em while they’re hot!
Season 1 is shaping up to be a good one.
I kick things off with my friend Chris Illuminati from Bit Comedy. Yes, we talk about his last name.
http://media.blubrry.com/apocalypse_now/bitcomedy.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Episode-1_Finalmixdown.mp3The second episode features Philadelphia Punk legend Rodney Anonymous of The Dead Milkmen.
http://media.blubrry.com/apocalypse_now/bitcomedy.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Episode-2_Finalmixdown.mp3My girl Tibbie X from Reagan Youth rounds out the first three episodes.
http://media.blubrry.com/apocalypse_now/bitcomedy.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Episode-3_Finalmixdown.mp3The latest episode was kind of surreal. If you’ve been a longtime reader of this blog and listener of my former podcast, The Pincushion, you’ll remember Jackie. In this conversation, instead of being two single –mostly drunk– sex positive commentators...Jackie and I talk about our mental health. It was odd talking with Jackie in 2017 with the crumbling world making the weight of adulthood exceptionally heavy on both of our lives.
Gone are the days of marathoning Breaking Bad and flooded basements. We’re full-blown adults now– with full-blown problems...
http://media.blubrry.com/apocalypse_now/bitcomedy.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Episode-4_mixdown.mp3..and we’re going by our real names.
I was nervous the day I launched the podcast. It’s been awhile since I’d made anything, and I didn’t know if anyone was still interested. Lucky for me, people seem to like the podcast! It already has a 5-star rating on iTunes and is rapidly approaching 1,000 downloads. My anxiety is starting to subside, but don’t worry....I assure you it’s still there.
If you haven’t already, please subscribe to my podcast and have a listen. It would mean the world to me if you wrote a review too. This is just the beginning of creating content under my real name. I have a lot more ideas for some really great content–including a web series that I just launched a GoFundMe for.
But that’s another blog post.

What’s so bad about having pride in oneself? Aren’t the most confident people more likely to succeed? Or...does pride turn angels into devils?

Vijay Parthasarathy and The Authentic Self
Apocalypse...Now?
09/12/20 • 54 min
Another gender reveal party has set California and Oregon ablaze– turning the skies an apocalyptic orange. As we hobble towards the last four months of 2020, wondering what surprises lie in store–I urge you to vote. The environmental rollbacks this administration has implemented will only increase the climate crisis. This crisis doesn’t limit its effects on wildfires, but pandemics, displacement, and economic loss are it’s victims as well.
So before we get into this week’s episode, I just want to remind you to register to vote and request a mail-in ballot if you are unable to vote in person due to the pandemic.
In this episode, I talk with Vijay Parthasarathy of Stardust Insights. Vijay specializes in helping brands incorporate social action and ethical causes in their marketing strategy. I met him through Lunchclub, and I had to have him on the show. I hope you enjoy this pretentious conversation.

Christian Carrion Talks to Strangers
Apocalypse...Now?
08/01/20 • 45 min
The nightmare continues as coronavirus cases surge, and Donald Trump jokes around about pushing the election back. Tensions are high in The United States, but Christian Carrion is managing to have a positive experience during this confusing spiral.
Christian Carrion is the host of the podcast, Stranger Than Christian, which is part of the newly formed Apocalypse Podcast Network. On Stranger Than Christian, you get honest conversations in the OG podcast format. I love the show, and I know you will too. I brought Christian onto the show this week to talk about his experience podcasting during the lockdown. It turns out; podcasting has been a healthy activity that has given Christian a positive outlook during this bleak time. We could all use some optimism and curiosity–and Stranger Than Christian certainly has that. You’re going to enjoy this interview!

Palate Cleanser: Lilith Von Bloodworth’s Finger Foods
Apocalypse...Now?
02/07/20 • 50 min
This is a very special episode of the podcast. This week, I sit down with an undead beauty who just escaped from the depths of hell. Lilith Von Bloodworth is the perfect person to talk to about the apocalypse because she has so many valuable tips for our survival. Sure, she may be trapped in an abandoned VHS store most of the time, but Lilith gets around (in a dirty way) and you’re going to love this conversation.

Chris Gersbeck’s Live Comedy Prediction
Apocalypse...Now?
01/25/21 • -1 min
Welcome to Biden’s America! The Inauguration went off without a coup, and Lady Gaga sang into a golden microphone. All is well in Democracy land, and I can discontinue my fear of the apocalypse.
Psyche!
There’s always a little wiggle room for a freak-out, and we can’t “check out” now. In the immortal words of the most powerful Karen, “we’ve only just begun.”
This week, I talk to Chris Gersbeck of Dumb Industries, a podcast production company that creates awesome shows like The Mads. I met Chris while I was living in Astoria, and it’s always good to catch up. We talk about the future of live comedy and how he feels about the current apocalypse.
