    Life After American Idol ~ Genevieve Heyward | Ep. 280

    On this episode of Cocktails with Dimples and The Beard, we sit down backstage at High Noon Saloon with American Idol standout Genevieve Heyward for an honest conversation about what life has really been like after American Idol. Genevieve opens up about the emotional highs and lows of competing on one of the biggest music shows in the world, dealing with internet criticism, navigating social media pressure, and adjusting to life once the cameras stop rolling. She shares what surprised her most about the experience, how American Idol changed her career, and why life after reality TV is far more complicated than most people realize. We also dive into Genevieve’s move to Nashville, touring with her band, songwriting, and recording new music. From the truth behind becoming “Pickle Girl” to the emotional story of a surprise visit from her best friend during one of her toughest stretches, this episode offers a raw and personal look at the artist behind the music.

    Appalled White Women Make Him Sad ~ Comedian Jackson Banks | Ep. 278

    DISCLAIMER: We experienced a severe audio/video lag while recording this episode with comedian Jackson Banks. Unfortunately, it prevented us from getting into the rhythm we normally have with our guests, and you'll occasionally notice Jackson's lips not matching his voice. The connection issues ultimately forced us to end the recording early, which is why the episode cuts off abruptly. We considered not releasing it, but Jackson was too funny not to share. Jackson Banks is a rising stand-up comedian and newly minted Comedy Store regular whose unpredictable style had us tracking him down after seeing him perform. On this episode, we talk about his journey from Utah comedy clubs to The Comedy Store, why he enjoys pushing audiences out of their comfort zones, the challenges of stand-up writing, his upcoming special Brain Kisser, and why there's always one appalled white woman in every crowd. Along the way, we somehow end up discussing Wisconsin, freak-show dating preferences, tongue-size theories, and everything else you'd expect from a conversation that completely goes off the rails.

    He Faked WHAT to get Bathed by Three Nurses?! 😳 ~ Dimples & The Beard | Ep. 277

    A man pretended to have Down syndrome so he could get three nurses to bathe him. That's not a joke, that's an actual story we came across — and it immediately turned into one of the most ridiculous debates we've ever had. Was it wrong? Was it diabolical? Was it somehow genius? We honestly couldn't agree. From there, the conversation goes completely off the rails. We get into the world's most questionable pickup strategy, debate whether orcas are secretly running the planet, talk Dave Matthews, Keanu Reeves, the Home Alone house, and a bunch of other topics that probably shouldn't be connected in the same episode. If you like chaotic conversations, terrible ideas, and two idiots overanalyzing things nobody should be overanalyzing, this one's for you. New episodes every Monday.

    Bobby Lee Kisses, Pauly Shore Hugs and Don Barris Tickles ~ Dimples & The Beard | Ep. 276

    Bobby Lee kisses. Pauly Shore hugs. Don Barris tickles. Somehow that was only PART of our trip to The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. We spent three straight nights inside one of the most legendary comedy clubs in the world — watching comics like Bobby Lee, Ali Wong, Don Barris, Jeff Ross, Pauly Shore, Howie Mandel, David Spade, Dane Cook and more absolutely destroy on stage while we somehow kept getting pulled deeper into the chaos ourselves. From celebrity encounters and Comedy Store insanity to drunk late-night podcasting and complete chaos, this trip turned into one of the wildest experiences we’ve ever had. We also talk about watching comedians build material in real time, why Don Barris became one of our favorite parts of the trip, how Howie Mandel thought The Beard threw up during a set, and what happened after we got back to our hotel and tried recording a podcast at 4AM completely exhausted and over-served. If you love stand-up comedy, Comedy Store stories, comedy podcasts, and completely unfiltered conversations, this episode is for you. New episodes every Monday.

    Midwest Meg Seems Wholesome… Until She Gets Comfortable | Ep. 275

    Midwest Meg joins us for one of the most Wisconsin episodes we’ve ever done — and things go off the rails fast. What starts with Midwest accents, supper clubs, dive bars, cheese curds, and how she accidentally became one of the biggest Midwest content creators online slowly turns into drunk bar stories, dirty business names, social media chaos, and a story that completely destroys her wholesome image. We also dive into Wisconsin culture, Milwaukee nightlife, recording content in her car, going viral on TikTok and Instagram, and the surprising moment she ended up interviewing Hugh Jackman in Milwaukee. But underneath all the chaos, this episode also gets surprisingly real. Midwest Meg opens up about mental health, depression, dealing with hate comments online, and why she refuses to pretend life is perfect on social media. It’s funny, awkward, ridiculously Midwest, and somehow weirdly heartfelt all at the same time. New episodes every Monday. Subscribe, like, and drop a comment — it really helps the show.

    4 A.M. Trauma Bonding with Comedians Josh Potter & Nelya Linnik | Ep. 274

    After hanging out at The Comedy Store all night and waiting out a police standoff at our hotel until nearly 4 a.m., we somehow ended up back in our room with comedians Josh Potter and Nelya Linnik recording one of the most chaotic episodes of Cocktails with Dimples & The Beard we’ve ever done. Running on almost no sleep, the conversation immediately spirals into trauma bonding, growing up in Ukraine, moving to America, Comedy Store stories, weed tests, Glenn Campbell, Alzheimer’s, cremation, onion farms, Boy George, and the ongoing debate over whether “brick” means penis. The production quality may not be up to our normal standards — we accidentally forgot to turn on the good mics — but there was no way we weren’t sharing this episode. It’s loud, messy, sleep-deprived, completely unfiltered, and honestly feels less like a podcast and more like sitting in a hotel room with a group of exhausted comics slowly losing their minds together. If you enjoy late-night comedy conversations, chaotic podcast energy, stand-up stories, and the kind of conversations that could only happen at 4 a.m. in Hollywood, this episode is absolutely for you.

    She Went OFF on Scream 7… We Let Her Cook ~ Comedian Katie Hettenbach | Ep. 273

    This week we’re joined by comedian and horror expert Katie Hettenbach, and yeah… she absolutely unloads on Scream 7. What starts as a simple question turns into a full breakdown of what went wrong — from pacing and missing story beats to why it doesn’t feel like a real Scream movie at all. We get into horror franchises, why some sequels hit and others completely fall apart, and how modern horror is evolving (or not). From there, it goes exactly where you’d expect with us — comedy store stories, bombing in LA vs Midwest crowds, watching movies high (including some truly questionable choices), Scooby-Doo nostalgia, and somehow claw machine strategy. It’s part horror deep dive, part chaos — mix comedians, strong opinions, zero structure, and a few cocktails — and see what happens. New episodes every Monday.
