The WET Podcast: Monday's with Justin Essenmacher, Markus Olind, & Phillip Garcia (prod. JJ)

3d ago

What Makes a Man?

Three hosts, three separate adventures, somehow still one episode. Works Every Time episode 148 enters “The Splash Zone” as Phillip Garcia, Markus Olind, and Justin Essenmacher turn a scheduling problem into an experiment in making a podcast apart. Phil sits down with his friend Jeff, a comedian and Army veteran, to talk about what makes a man, philosophy degrees, ethics, and Socrates. Jeff shares his experiences in Afghanistan, while their conversation detours into pest control, terrible security jobs, and Phil’s ongoing battle to actually get served at Pappadeaux. Markus broadcasts from his man cave with Schnitzel, showing off dinosaurs and sports jerseys while reflecting on comedy burnout, honesty, and putting positivity into the world. He also explains why Phil is the human equivalent of Buffalo Chicken Dip. Justin attempts a day off that becomes a nicotine run, an argument with modern ICEE flavors, a tour of his coffee mugs, and an increasingly ambitious kitchen cleaning project. Between childhood fishing memories and a Carole Baskin mug he regrets buying, relaxing turns out to take some work.

AI Is Already Taking Comedians' Jobs

Is AI already taking comedians’ jobs? In episode 147 of the Works Every Time comedy podcast, Justin Essenmacher, Markus Olind, and Phillip Garcia discuss AI-generated stand-up clips, joke theft, and whether live comedy becomes more valuable as synthetic performers flood social media. They compare their experiments with ChatGPT and Codex for video editing, booking outreach, and organizing comedy ideas—and debate what happens when convenience starts replacing creative thinking. Then Justin’s Jamboree gets a Halloween edition: What gives Freddy Krueger nightmares? What would Jason Voorhees buy at a hardware store? And what would Michael Myers say if he finally spoke? The episode also includes Markus’s birthday, a chaotic retelling of The Boondock Saints, and Bit Pitch, where the hosts develop new stand-up material together. It’s a mix of comedy-industry conversation, horror-movie riffs, and friends turning ridiculous questions into arguments. Watch new episodes, Monday's at 11am CST on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts! ______________________________________ 🍗COME TO THE CHICKEN WING FESTIVAL🍗 🗓️ 11/7/26 - Austin TX Code 'PODCAST' for 10% off you tickets! https://atxwingfest.com/ https://www.instagram.com/austinchickenwingfestival/ 👕 MERCH 🧢 https://www.backoftheroomtees.com/collections/w-e-t-podcast-works-every-time 🌿 TEJAS TONIC 🌱 Support us by using code 'WETPOD' for 15% off your order! https://www.tejastonic.com/ 🎤 RECORD WHERE WE DO 📸 Use code 'ATX' for 10% off your first recording! https://modernstoa.co/podcast-studio-austin-bookings/ ______________________________________ THE WET COMMANDMENTS 1) No Austin comedy 2) We don't hate women 2c) Don't say c*nt 3) If you get too negative you have to say something positive 4) Be funny 5) Have fun (respectfully) ______________________________________ 00:00:00 This week on WET… 00:00:49 Markus's Birthday and Free Domino's 00:03:15 Phil Does a Shane Gillis 00:09:26 Is Phil's Hair His Brand? 00:12:05 In Memoriam: Flynn (F**k Skyler) 00:15:14 Dear Phil's Mom: Phil Does Not Have a Child 00:18:08 Justin Explains the Plot of The Boondock Saints 00:28:39 AI Has Already Taken Stand-Up Comedians' Jobs 00:32:19 How Four Idiots Use AI 00:44:31 Bit Pitch: Fruit Orgy 01:00:56 Justin's Jamboree: Halloween Edition 01:04:12 What Does Freddy Krueger Have Nightmares About? 01:08:50 What Would Jason Buy at a Hardware Store? 01:14:14 What Would Michael Myers's First Words Be? 01:19:15 Bonus Question ______________________________________ ✨Follow the show: https://www.youtube.com/@wet.podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/7MqegWxm0vo9xV2y2OIatY?si=3cb91ff1b5ab401c https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/works-every-time/id1737857027 https://www.instagram.com/wet.podcast/ https://www.tiktok.com/@wet.podcast https://www.patreon.com/cw/WETPodcast 🟡Justin: https://www.instagram.com/justinessenmacher/ https://www.tiktok.com/@openmicjustin https://www.youtube.com/@JustinEssenmacher 🔵Markus: https://www.instagram.com/beardvonmarkus/ https://www.instagram.com/schnitzelpacino/ 🔴Phillip: https://www.instagram.com/phillipgarciacomedy/ https://www.youtube.com/@phillipgarciacomedy 🟠JJ: https://www.instagram.com/rageqzb/ https://www.youtube.com/@rageqzbass ______________________________________ ⁠⁠ @phillipgarciacomedy @JustinEssenmacher ⁠⁠ @markusolind9761 ⁠ @rageqzbass #podcast #comedy

For almost 2 decades now the podcast industry has been what some may considered to be a stagnant and an uncreative market, but thank God these three boys have thrown a figurative M80 into the pond to disrupt the stillness that was the podcast industry.
