The Slip and Slide of Moral Decay

Last night was GREAT! I didn’t flub any lines, I think only missed one dance move, and I didn’t pull a Bobby Brady and have my voice crack during a song! People were laughing their asses off at all the right moments, and we got a great response from the crowd as we did the little everyone hold hands while walking up to the front of the stage and bowing together theater bow thing

To all the drama students that I may or may not have been mean/dismissive/snobbish/downright rude to in high school, please accept my belated apology. This stuff’s just as much fun as strapping on 30lbs of pads and running full-bore into another 200lb dude with 30lbs of pads on, too!

We had about 100 folks at our show, and we’re hoping to sell out (130) Saturday’s show.

So, if you’re in the area, please come to the show (Nate and Di, I’m looking in your direction).

Doing one of those fruity theater bows,
-Jay

PS - Annie gave me the greatest pre-show gift last night. I got a really funny card, and inside it said, “I thought that instead of flowers, a guy would probably like burritos” - and there was a gift certificate to my favorite burrito joint in town. Thanks, girl. That was great!

I know I’m not writing much anymore, but I’ll try to put something up once a week now. Let’s say Mondays? It can be part of your back to work but not ready to start working routine. sound good?

good.

Whistles go WOO-WOO!

Happy Friday, everybody!

Tune in and listen to the latest scoop! Jay’s in a musical, Annie has an OCD freakout in a theater, and we rap about botulism…That’s right. a rap about botulism. and salmonella.

Thanks for the comments and emails! Keep ‘em coming! You can also put yourself on our map, take our survey, or donate via PayPal. But don’t do all of those things - that’d just be ridiculous. Pick one and run with it…or just tell a friend to tune in!

Have a great weekend, y’all.
-Jay and Annie

Fate has a twisted sense of humor.

As many of you know, I’m still looking for a “real” job. Sure, I write a weekly column for the City Paper, host trivia nights at bars around town, and appear in a few improv acts to make ends meet, but I still haven’t found that 9-5 (or 10-3 if that’s cool with you, future boss of mine) that floats my boat. And it looks like it ain’t gonna be in this one-horse town anyway, but that’s another story.

Late last week I was asked to be in a musical written by a couple of my improv buddies (so you KNOW it’s gonna be funny) and their friend. It’s called HOBO: A Fight for Survival. Seems they couldn’t think of a better person to play Marvin, the former president of a major company who now lives on the streets, than me - a former “suit” who doesn’t have a job, and isn’t above picking up change on the streets.

So, that said - if you’re in the Charleston area, come see our show. It’s pretty frickin’ funny, and I get a cut of the door.

Speaking of cutting, If you can’t make it, tell a friend to attend, or so help me, I will cut you! It’s just some extra change, man…what? you think you’re better than me?!

oh…sorry…got too into character there…

Hope to see you there!

Welcome back, everybody!

Lots of info in this jam-packed show, so let’s get right to it, shall we?

What was supposed to be here was Episode 12: Annie and Jay Version 2.0

but…

Dammit! We lost a 30 minute show in the editing process, so we’re gonna do one tomorrow. But in the meantime - here’s what’s shaking:

1) Thanks to everyone at the Podcast Pickle Forums for your help on our recording issues.
2) We’re now using REAL MICS and a mixer (Thanks Roommate Matt!).
3) Please fill out our audience survey - it’ll take 5 seconds and is completely anonymous. We’re just trying to pay bills, y’all.
4) We’re still looking for jobs.
5) I can’t believe that friggin’ computer crashed.
6) Thanks Angel for the voiceover work. If you need some done, email us!
7) Thanks for the kind words, Nate and Di. We got your back, too.

We’ll put our heads together and put another show together tomorrow. New segment (This Week In TV), and other exciting things now that we sound quasi-professional!

Thanks!
-Jay
