    CPP Sideshow #157 - Ryan Shea, 2nd Generation Comedian ... Kind Of.

    Comedian, content creator and singer of Boston’s long lost (beloved) hardcore bank Drop Anchor is this week’s super fun guest.   Ryan’s comedy is just like his mothers comedy (who was a stand up during the comedy boom in the 80’s) except … Ryan’s funny and his moms comedy (according to his friend) is unwatchable,  Note: we’d still love to have her on as a quest.   Ryan’s social media is a mix of funny stand up clips, tips on how to be a stand-up comic without being a whinny D-Bag and music recommendations.  A true “must follow” on the socials.   Ryan has a super fun live show called, “Hate What You Love” where he has comics come on and do a set and then watch a music video they love from their youth and he breaks down why it sucks and destroys a precious childhood memory … BRILLANT.   Follow – Ryanxshea on Instagram   Opening song: Gomer (By Dan Cray and Beyond Id of “The Stovin’ Years”)   Ending Songs: Drop Anchor – Boston Full 7” (on youtube)

    Jacques, Biff and Joe open the show with their fondest Catherine O'Hara memories. The thrill seems to be gone for them in the lead-up to the Big Game between New England and Seattle, and they can't seem to avoid politics when discussing sporting events like the Winter Olympics and upcoming FIFA World Cup. WARNING: Jacques tells two corny jokes at the top of the show. Listener discretion is advised.    Follow us: IG/YT – Carnival Personnel – FB Jacques Lambert – BlueSky – @jacquesfunny.bsky.social and TikTok – @JacquesFunny
