Austin Anderson has been doing stand-up since 2001. He never wanted to start a podcast. He just wanted to be funny and mysterious, like God intended. But then a high-level booker broke his heart and said, “If you want to keep doing stand-up, you need a podcast.” And so, against his will, and with great reluctance... this is: The Austin Anderson Show.

    Daddy Came Back (Lobster Tails, Bad Remakes & Finding Hope in a Broken World)

    After disappearing for a bit, Austin finally returns — and yes, he knows he said he’d be back sooner. This episode kicks off the comeback with life updates, a hilarious grocery store story involving government benefits and eight lobster tails, and a brutally honest rant about terrible movie remakes (looking directly at The Running Man). From there, things swing into unexpected joy with an incredible Eric Church concert, progress on the Ranch Bowl documentary, and reflections on creativity, nostalgia, and why real art still matters.

    I Choose Jesus Over the Machine (And I’m Not Sorry) | Ep. 88

    I’m bad at the game of life because the game is rigged. So this episode goes straight for the throat. We talk about opting out of a broken system, why everyone feels dead inside, why kindness feels illegal on the interstate, and why faith in Jesus isn’t something I argue anymore, it’s something I cling to like a life raft in a burning world. This isn’t theology class. This is rage, repentance, hypocrisy, mercy, pride, daily sin, and that stupid plank jammed in all our eyeballs. The world says fix everyone else. Jesus says start with yourself. I chose Jesus. Not science-as-religion. Not power. Not the machine. If that bothers you, this episode definitely will. Hosted on Acast.

    I Disappeared, Moved into a Farmhouse, and Now It’s 2026 (Gas, Billionaires & the Antichrist)

    I’m back. Barely. After disappearing to survive a full-blown farmhouse move—from Christmas Eve to mid-January—I crawl back behind the mic to explain why my life turned into a Home Depot fever dream. No doors. Movers with bald tires. Windstorms. Lost phone chargers. A Ron White cigar shrine in rural Nebraska. This episode is a reset. A ramble. A “hey, I’m still alive.” Tomorrow we’re back to a real show, today is just taking care of business. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Adam Devine Comes Home: Netflix Dreams, Megachurch Jets & God Hitting Fabio with a Goose | Ep. 86

    Adam Devine talksabout coming home to film his first Netflix special at the Orpheum, zig-zagging across the country on tour, and how life looks different when you’re no longer the Workaholics maniac but also definitely still a maniac. We get into Nebraska’s “honestly, it’s not for everyone” slogan, shooting a special in front of family and friends, working with legends like John Goodman and Danny McBride on The Righteous Gemstones, and the strange moment when you realize you’ve grown up… because you’re cutting off skin tags with pliers instead of calling a doctor. Somewhere along the way we also cover corrupt televangelists with private jets named after the Trinity, why parades are psychological warfare, and the undeniable proof that God has a sense of humor—because He once took out Fabio with a suicidal goose on a roller coaster.

    Skunk Spray, Shoulder Rubs, and TLC Nostalgia | Ep. 85

    In this episode, Austin rolls into the studio running on burnt coffee, bad decisions, and the lingering stench of mercy. Fresh off a comedy show for accountants, he breaks down the strangest crowd interaction of his career, including rubbing the shoulders of a man who refused to turn around and later turned out to own the company. From declaring himself the honorary mayor of Wahoo, to free-plugging the local meat locker, to accidentally inventing an all-natural skunk-based nasal spray, this episode is a full sprint through sleep deprivation, stand-up chaos, and small-town mythology. Add in climate satire, TLC nostalgia, box wine communion, and a co-host fleeing the studio mid-spray, and you’ve got a perfectly unhinged morning radio monologue that somehow still lands the plane.

    He Put a Six-Figure Budget on Finding Bigfoot | Ep. 84

    What if Bigfoot isn’t just a blurry VHS fever dream… but a real, flesh-and-bone creature that’s just smarter than us? In this episode, I sit down with Gary Volkmann, a man who didn’t just talk about finding Bigfoot — he funded it. Six figures. A full film crew. And a world-renowned PhD anthropologist, Dr. Jeff Meldrum, as his right-hand man. We get into: Why a Thanksgiving dinner argument launched a full-blown Sasquatch huntAncient apes, human evolution, and why Bigfoot might be closer to us than we’re comfortable admittingTerrifying field encounters: bacon-scented sightings, rifled backpacks, unscrewed peanut butter jars, and a 16.5-inch footprint next to a tentWhy Bigfoot might be the most intelligent great ape on the planetNative American lore, totem poles, ancient cave art, and why this story shows up everywhere… across cultures, continents, and centuriesAnd why capturing Bigfoot on film might be harder than filming a black bear crossing a logging road Hosted on Acast.

    My Shed Exploded, Alex Jones Was Funny, and I Think Everyone’s Lying | Ep. 83

    The Nebraska wind didn’t just knock over lawn furniture — it straight-up detonated one of my sheds like God got bored and flicked the earth. From there, things spiral fast. I talk about the raw, terrifying power of weather, governments wanting control of the elements, Alex Jones absolutely bodying Piers Morgan (and why, whether he’s wrong or not, the man is objectively hilarious), and why it feels like politics, media, and culture are just professional wrestling with better lighting. We get into why nobody ever delivers real solutions, why conspiracies rot your brain if you stare too long, why JFK is still unsolved 60 years later, and why the older I get, the more I think the real rebellion might be unplugging, raising your kids, helping your neighbors, reading your Bible, and singing Christmas carols with people who’ve been forgotten. Also: Barbara Bush. I said what I said. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Spider Guys, Bong Water, and the Slow Death of Customer Service | Ep. 82

    Austin recounts a series of strange, hilarious, and slightly haunting encounters across three Casey’s gas stations in one night. There’s a tarantula-loving cashier with a “spider guy,” a pizza cook higher than Goonies’ Sloth, and a third Casey’s employee who commits the ultimate sin: refusing to make breadsticks 15 minutes before close. From awkward bong banter to half-cheese pizza crimes, this episode spirals into conspiracy theories, Epstein files, Eyes Wide Shut deep dives, the darkness of the world, and somehow ends with Austin pitching a gritty Santa Claus reboot where the kid offs his dad to become St. Nick. Just another day on The Austin Anderson Show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
