Episode 10: Joanna Kent Possumato & Michael Possumato: Pregnacy and the Modern Married Couple | getseriouspodcast:

When I started recording this podcast, I knew I wanted to somehow incorporate non-comedians into the process. I like learning more about people in general, and so it didn’t seem like an outlandish idea to me. My sister emailed me to let me know that she and her husband were coming for a visit and I knew this was the perfect opportunity to snag my first official non-comedian guests!

I’ve known Joanna for about, eh, thirty years. Our relationship while growing up rivaled that of the Gallagher brothers (Liam & Noel of Oasis fame). People used to tell us we would be the best of friends when we grew up, which would cause us to glance at each other in terror, and then openly mock the messenger in tandem, as I mention in the intro. And now, she’s definitely the only person who knows me better than myself. Actually…she probably does know me better than myself.

Her husband Michael is a super cool guy and I couldn’t be happier to have him as a brother-in-law. They’re expecting their first child in July and it was really awesome to have the opportunity to sit and talk with them about their experience. I knew a lot of what was going through Joanna’s head as it relates to their pregnancy (as I have received many lengthy emails about poop in the past several months), but Michael was so incredibly candid and honest that I really was thrilled to hear more about everything he was going through. Pregnacy does affect both people, and hearing information from a father-to-be’s perspective was fascinating.

I do hope you enjoy, and sorry for the weird end of my intro in the beginning!

Episode Eight: Nick Johnson: Wrestling

Episode Eight: Nick Johnson: Wrestling:

comedygetsserious:

When Nick Johnson isn’t playing with the incredibly talented Raygun Regan or coaching the delightful Oh No, Miyamoto for One Group Mind, he can be found doing lots of dumb things with Potential Boyfriends, all at Studio BE. Going into the reocrding of this episode, I don’t think I possibly could be less enthusiastic about a topic. I understand that sounds incredibly harsh, but the world of professional wrestling has never seemed very appealing to me.

And then I spoke with Nick. After this episode, we watched the 2008 Royal Rumble in its entirety, and it was one of the weirdest and most interesting things I’ve watched In a long time. If I may be so candid, I’m quite looking forward to checking out Wresltmania tonight.

Before watching, please click on the below link to watch the 1:30-ish minute video clip that we literally marvel at and dissect for a half hour.

ALL NEW EPISODE! Episode Four: Jessica Landis: Alopecia :

letsgetseriousforasecond:

Not only does Jessica Landis have the greatest first name on the planet, but she is a super funny lady here in Chicago who is enjoyable to watch doing the Make ‘Em Ups. She can be seen performing Mondays at Mullens on Clark with her improv team FrankenReagan, does fun comedy things with Gorilla Tango Improv Zoo and is also a performer with One Group Mind.

Pictures from our wig photoshoot mentioned in this episode can be found on the Let’s Get Serious for a Second Facebook Page!

I am happy with how the podcast is going, especially since I figured out some fun new editing techniques last night to make it sound a little bit better! Sort of.

Episode Two: Allison MacWilliams-Brooks: Suicide:

letsgetseriousforasecond:

Episode two is here and just in time for Valentine’s Day! For this episode, I was lucky enough to be joined by my friend and ultra-talented funny lady Allison MacWilliams-Brooks. Allison can be seen performing with the One Group Mind team Freud Droid occasionally at Studio BE (learn more about the team and their performances here: http://onegroupmind.com/) and is a founding company member of Cor Res Theatre (https://www.facebook.com/correstheatre), which I am also a part of. The From Brain to Stage: An Evening of Cor Res One Acts that Allison mentions is still happening, but the performance date/location are no longer accurate. The performance is now @ The Lincoln Lodge, 4008 N. Lincoln Ave, Chicago, starting at 6pm, $5.00 admission, February 23rd (which is a Saturday). !!!DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE WHERE AND WHEN AT THE END OF THIS PODCAST!!!

My deepest regret is that I needed to cut this for time. The plus side is that everything that was cut was essentially me rambling and saying ‘like’ a lot. I promise. !!!DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE WHERE AND WHEN AT THE END OF THIS PODCAST!!!

FUN FACT: I would probably save five minutes if I stopped saying “Uhmmm” and “liiike” as every other word.

Additionally, a few suicide resources for people in need, or people who would like to learn more and help:

Fun drunk nights

Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:34:00 -0600

It’s all fun and games till you go home, get changed, and your credit cards fall out of your bra.

This night was better. These nights have been better.

I just want people to have hope, even if there is nothing to be hopeful for. I don’t care if anyone ever loves me for me because sometimes, I don’t love me for me. And you know what? I may never love me for me, because that is who I am.

Stop telling me I’ll never find someone to love me until I love myself because I am actually ok with that.

It’s a little rough and the music overlay didn’t work out as I planned but alas! The second episode will sound way better, but the heart of what I am going for is still here.
