Welcome to the world of Jon D. - stand-up comedian, podcast producer, and certified talker-about-all-the-things. From his cozy (and slightly chaotic) basement studio, Jon D. hosts a comedy podcast where he riffs on stand-up comedy life, breaking news, NFL and NHL updates, sci-fi fandom, and weird but true historical facts. As a recovering alcoholic, Jon brings occasional raw, real-life reflections between the punchlines. With guest comedians, actors, and interesting people from all walks of life, every episode blends humor, insight, and a healthy dose of sublime wit. Whether it’s a solo riff or Jon tricked someone into a conversation, this podcast brings laughs, commentary, and surprising moments of clarity. It’s where comedy meets culture - and culture gets roasted just right. Shoes optional. Sarcasm required.

    Ep 74 - Old Kangaroo Circus

    Jon D. returns for Episode 74 with some big milestones and bigger opinions. He kicks things off celebrating 1,653 days sober (over 4.5 years) and laughs about how giving up booze has saved him a fortune. Perfect timing, since alcohol sales are crashing in 2025 while non-alcoholic beer is having its own moment (yes, even Old Milwaukee NA exists now). From there, Jon tackles the viral Coldplay concert “CEO cuddle-cam,” Sydney Sweeney denim ad drama, and why Cracker Barrel’s logo redesign has people acting like it’s the end of Western civilization. Add in some sports fire — Cowboys blunders, NHL countdowns, and Travis Kelce’s engagement joke courtesy of Jon’s kid — plus a spotlight on comedian Ritch Shydner’s History of Stand-Up, and you’ve got the full Jon D. mix: comedy, culture, sports, and a few F-bombs for good measure. Key Takeaways: 4.5 years sober and why every day counts.Booze sales plummet while NA beer skyrockets (and costs too much).Culture freak-outs: CEOs on kiss cam, denim ad wars, and Cracker Barrel chaos.Sports hot takes: Cowboys trade disaster, NHL hype, and Travis Kelce’s “new name.”Comedy history: Why Ritch Shydner’s one-man show and stories on social media about the history of stand up are a must see! www.RitchShydner.com Hashtags: #FunnyPodcast #CultureFreakouts #SportsAndComedy Support & Connect: 💸 Venmo: @JonD.Podcom 📬 Listener mail / contest entries: JonDpodcom@gmail.com 📱 Instagram + Threads: @JonD.Podcom 👍 Facebook: Jon D Podcast 📺 YouTube: JonDPodcom (may include dumb stuff, but it's still worth it) Recorded using a Shure SM7dB microphone.

    Ep 73 - O.P.P. All The Time

    Jon D. takes on ketchup conspiracies (seriously — check the Pantone match), why Andor might just be the best Star Wars content ever created. Plus listener giveaways, and more. It’s part stand-up, part soapbox, and full of Jon D. style. 🧃The Great Ketchup Conspiracy: ever wonder why the Heinz bottle at your favorite restaurant doesn't taste quite right? Jon breaks down how Heinz is now using Pantone color codes on its labels to bust restaurants refilling bottles with off-brand junk. (Check your ketchup before you wreck your hot dog.) 🏒 Jon weighs in on the Stanley Cup Final: Panthers vs. Oilers, and yes, he’s pulling for Edmonton again. He also recaps the Capitals' season, including Ovi’s record-breaking moment, and breaks down what went wrong against Carolina (aka “the Dirty Canes”). 🌌 Jon dives deep into Andor Season 2, calling it the most grounded and realistic Star Wars yet. He praises the gritty world building, standout performances (shoutout to Cyril’s overbearing mom), and the bold storytelling choices. 📬 Congrats to Alex B. for winning the Amazon gift card for Ep. 72, and props to Wade B. for longtime loyalty — Wade’s getting a surprise $10 card just for sticking with the pod. Jon also answers the classic question: What’s up with the “D” in Jon D? (Spoiler: blame another comic from Pittsburgh and a clever suggestion from Mike Diesel.) 🎁 Want in on the giveaway? Email the minute mark where Jon says the episode title to JonDpodcom@gmail.com — first one to do it wins a $10 Amazon gift card. It’s an investment… but it might pay off. Eventually. “You should ask to see the manager and ask for a free dessert — because you have been emotionally scarred.” – Jon D. Miller This episode also includes: Memories of marrying ketchup bottles in restaurant side workGiant summer vacation families and chaotic beach town dinnersNHL goal song beefs (looking at you, “Dallas Stars”)A little podcast voice creeping into Jon’s stand-up voiceJon’s case for watching Andor and KenobiA shoutout to Real Genius and other great summer moviesSupport & Connect: 💸 Venmo: @JonD.Podcom 📬 Listener mail / contest entries: JonDpodcom@gmail.com 📱 Instagram + Threads: @JonD.Podcom 👍 Facebook: Jon D Podcast 📺 YouTube: JonDPodcom (may include dumb stuff, but it's still worth it) Recorded using a Shure SM7dB microphone.
