    The Magical Negro ~ Comedian Justin Leon | Ep. 286

    Milwaukee comedian Justin Leon joins The Beard and Dimples ahead of his August 7th and 8th shows at The Laughing Tap, and the interview immediately turns into a full-scale roast. The Kansas City native looks back at getting his first laugh at six, being one of three Black students cast as thugs in a Lutheran school play, performing twenty minutes his first time onstage, and finding stand-up at Stanford and Sons. He also resurrects the poem that once crushed at an open mic—“Bitch, You Made My Nuts Itch”—which somehow prompts Dimples to confess that he once ignored a friend’s explicit warning about crabs. Justin also opens up about marriage, fatherhood, moving to Wisconsin, and losing his stepfather and biological father within 24 hours. From his hemp-farm experience and Kansas City barbecue standards to a suspicious “watermelon” code word, a Wisconsin intervention, and a heated Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James debate, nothing stays serious for long. Along the way, Justin turns Dimples’ divorce and massive DVD collection into an impromptu therapy session—and earns the episode title: The Magical Negro. New episodes every Monday.

    Bobby Lee Wanted Him to Rat... But Did He? ~ Comedian Luke Binkow | Ep. 285

    Comedian Luke Binkow joins The Beard and Dimples to talk about becoming a recurring guest on Bobby Lee’s TigerBelly—and the Comedy Store parking-lot accident that left him caught between his managers, a damaged car and Bobby demanding to know who ratted. Luke explains how his relationship with Bobby led to the opportunity, what it’s like joining a podcast with a fiercely loyal audience and why working alongside Thomas Lennon immediately made him question whether he was prepared. He also shares the chaotic process of becoming a Comedy Store door guy, winning Set of the Night six times and competing against Mikey McDonald for what they assumed was the only available “white guy spot.” Luke also traces his path from California stoner and aspiring filmmaker to studying directing at Chapman University, taking an online stand-up class during COVID and performing his first open mic at Flappers before months of bombing in Orange County bars. The conversation covers Roast Battle, his joke-writing process, turning failed stand-up premises into sketches with This Place Is Huge, writing a pilot with fellow comedian Joey Cerone, developing a short film and imagining a comedy special filmed entirely inside a car. Luke also defends the Filet-O-Fish, shares his Waymo adventures, explains why he would rather doomscroll than watch a mediocre television series and talks about his comedy influences, dating a non-comedian and the night he hid under a table during a horror movie before calling his mom to take him home.
