    Move the Mic Stand - The Father, The Son, and the Third Wheel (Ft. Hayden Berg)

    This episode is sponsored by: Mini Golf Reviews Partner: Gorilla Mind - Use code: 20 Local Comic of the Week: Joey Thowless Special Guest: Hayden Berg This week things almost went off the rails before we even hit record—Karl was battling being under the weather and on the verge of losing his voice… so we called in reinforcement. Enter Hayden: Dean’s 19-year-old son, stepping in as the emergency backup guest (and low-key stealing the show). Hayden brings a fresh perspective from growing up around comedy, including his biggest note for comics: bring more energy. Simple, but brutal. We also get into his current anime phase and the fact that he’s been hitting the gym—so if he starts critiquing your set AND your physique, just accept it. Dean talks about getting back in the hosting saddle at the Bare Bones show after a long break, plus a classic “only in Wisconsin” moment involving a bald eagle casually hanging out in the road like it owns the place. The crew also dives into:– The art (and chaos) of complaining on social media – This week’s Local Comedian spotlight – The surprisingly passionate “Save The Worms” discussion It’s a mix of comedy, chaos, and just enough father-son dynamic to keep things interesting. Buckle up. Drop a comment, share with a friend, and let us know—are you Team High Energy or Team “just hold the mic and survive”? 🎧 Listen now on all major platforms. Comedy Tip: Up the Energy!

    Move the Mic Stand - We Got the Runs (Ft. Craig Allan)

    This episode is sponsored by: Mini Golf Reviews Partner: Gorilla Mind - Use code: 20 Local Comic of the Week: Craig Allan Special Guest: Craig Allan This week on Move the Mic Stand, Dean and Ka$h sit down with special guest Craig Allan for an episode that covers everything from comedy grind to straight-up survival mode. Craig breaks down his “Craig’s Choice” — his personal top 5 must-know picks in comedy — and drops gems that comics at any level can actually use. We spotlight our Local Comic of the Week, show love to the scene, and talk about what’s happening down at the Springfield Comedy Club in Missouri. Somewhere along the way, things take a turn into Gorilla Mind, flooding chaos, and the questionable decision-making behind running Tough Mudders like grown adults trying to prove something to their inner 12-year-old. It’s part comedy clinic, part Midwest storytelling, and part “why are we like this?” — just how we like it.

    Move the Mic Stand - Just Foolin' Around in the Dark

    This episode is sponsored by: Mini Golf Reviews Partner: Gorilla Mind - Use code: 20 Local Comic of the Week: Eric Schwandt This episode goes completely off the rails—in the best way possible as usual. It starts with Gorilla Mind and somehow turns into a debate about sarsaparilla, then spirals into comedy tips on what NOT to do on stage (seriously… stop yelling, stop being gross while people are eating, and chill with the questions). Ka$h breaks down why April Fools Day might secretly be the ultimate hack comic detector, gives a shoutout to Comic of the Week Eric Schwandt, and dives into a very Wisconsin argument involving the Packers, Culver’s, and Menards. There’s Americana art on tools, Easter activities, and whatever “The Big Garlic” is supposed to mean. Plus, a Wausau show recap, and somehow—because of creamed corn—we end up deep in cheese science, talking bacteria cultures and fermentation like a late-night Food Network episode. Also… KA$H needs Dean’s help. For what? There’s a twist to the story so listen to get to the contents! Comedy Tip: DON'T DO THAT! Thanks for listening to the Move the Mic Stand Comedy Podcast!
