And so we conclude My Dining Room Table. Will I randomly put out an episode when I feel like it, when I have a really good interview to share with the world? Perhaps. Will I do this podcast live at festivals if asked? Probably. Those are fun. But for now, and most likely, forever, this is the last episode of My Dining Room Table, live from the High…

And so it has come to this. I'll be taking the summer off of podcasting to focus full time on the production of Those Who Can't. But fear not! New episodes will resume in August/September of 2015. So come back around! In the meantime, have the best summer ever and KIT!

Denver-raised, but groomed by comedy in the amazing scenes of Atlanta and New York, Noah Gardenswartz is a gentle giant with a furious wit. He's also a deeply profound and thoughtful dude. One of my favorite episodes in awhile. Enjoy.

I sit down with Nick Nunns, the man behind TRVE brewing, to talk craft-beer, Satan, and how comedy and brewing aren't all that different.

Nathaniel Rateliff is the most talented singer-songwriter I've ever met and he just so happens to live right down the street. I finally snagged him to talk touring, drinking, cholos and Night Sweats.

I pow-wow with Kristin Rand for an exit interview before she departs Denver for LA. We talk SNL 40th Anniversary, how people who are awful on social media are the f-ing worst, and how when you don't know how to end a sketch, you should just sing!

Greater Than Collective record mogul, former Suburban Home Records guru, and Illegal Pete's all-around good guy Virgil Dickerson gets the Dining Room Table treatment to talk poop stories, learning from your failures and how dim sum hasn't been taken over by hipsters. Yet.

Wrist Deep Productions founder and the man behind the infamous Squire Lounge open mic, Greg Baumhauer was one of my first true friends in comedy. In this amazing conversation, we look back over our early days in comedy through the lens of Greg's new-found and hard-fought sobriety. Chicago lives!

Episode Number Fifty! For this special anniversary episode I sit down with my co-horts in The Grawlix Andrew Orvedahl and Ben Roy to talk Those Who Can't, our favorite Grawlix memories, and what habits we have that annoy the bejesus out of one another.

In our Louie/Maron episode Ben Kronberg and I talk coming up together in Denver, career jealousy, making spicy comedy choices and keeping it Christian clean.

Picture me. Now picture Todd Barry. Now picture me and Todd Barry in a Denver hotel room talking about comedy and Bobby Flay. Can you picture it? You can! Then behold: you have pictured the very episode now in your possesion. Good for you.

Behold, Dave Ross, in all his deep-voiced glory! From a Colfax hotel room Dave and I discuss being fan-boys of one and other, general podcast weariness, and how a generation of young comedians may be web-policing each other into utter blandness.

Wende Curtis is Comedy Works. Comedy Works is Wende Curtis. Get to know the woman behind one of the greatest comedy clubs in the country. And her little dog Lucy.

Portland-raised, Chicago-helmed, turned into a goddamn man by Los Angeles, Matt Braunger gets the dining room table treatment and waxes comedic on Korea, mustaches and Big Daddy Kane

John Crist is hilarious. In any comedic realm. But he also just so happens to be one of the fastest rising stars in Christian comedy today. We sit down and talk mega-churches, five-tool athletes and Free Willy.

And then the Governor up and comes on your podcast! Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper sat down to the dining room table to discuss sketchy 80's Denver, Kurt Vonnegut and why Peyton Manning is a real class act.

Troy Baxley is a Denver legend and he may just be the funniest comedian I've ever met. If you don't know him, your bad. Get to know the man, the myth, the leyenda, as Troy opens up about his past, his comedy career and narrowly surviving a recent brain-swelling that left him in the ICU. Baxley speaks! You should listen.…

I sit down with Illegal Pete's impressario Pete Turner to talk about how a struggling, hole-in-the-wall Mission-style burrito joint in Boulder turned into a Colorado empire. While never losing it's sense of cool. We also talk Steinbeck, Van Morrison phoning it in at Red Rocks and fatherhood.

Only fitting that the first episode of the summer features the King of Summah, Howard Kremer! I toured with Howard across the country on the Road to Oddball tour and somewhere along the way we broke out the podcasting gadgetry in a hotel room to talk Austin Stories, Dragon Boy Suede and why we are both about ready to stay in one place for awhile.
