Building New Stand-Up Material & The Podcast's Next Chapter

This week Garrett talks about building new stand-up material in Austin, the reality of testing jokes at open mics versus real club shows, and what it actually takes to refine a set over time. He shares where his comedy is at right now, why he’s been focused on stage work, and how that creative growth is influencing the future of the podcast.

 

He also updates listeners on the future of the podcast and why it’s entering a new chapter. Season one was the sandbox. Season two is about building something bigger.

A NYE Message

I’ll see you in the new year.

I Went to a Show… and Everything Went Wrong

Garrett planned the perfect night out: VIP ticket, row three, dressed to kill… and the second he arrived at the University of Texas, everything unraveled. From impossible parking, confusing campus layouts, and self-checkout food asking for tips, to ushers acting like FBI agents hunting for iPhones — this night out turned into a full-blown survival challenge.

But John Mulaney? Absolutely worth it.

If you’ve ever wondered why going out as an adult feels like navigating a maze built by a committee of morons, this diary episode will hit you right in the millennial soul.

Topics include: John Mulaney tour, Austin events, UT parking hell, comedy show etiquette, venue horror stories, and the universal struggle of “just trying to have a fun night out.”

Remember Real Black Friday? Fake Deals, Doorbusters & Fights!

Black Friday used to be feral… and honestly? It still kinda is.

This week, Garrett breaks down why modern Black Friday is nothing but inflated “deals,” scammy price hikes, and Amazon trickery — plus he relives the truly unhinged chaos of the early 2000s doorbuster era. From fistfights over Xbox 360s to grandmas brawling over $5 calculators, this episode is a nostalgic trip through America’s most chaotic unofficial holiday.

If you need a laugh while digesting Thanksgiving leftovers, this one’s for you.

Topics include: Black Friday scams, retail horror stories, nostalgic mall culture, holiday chaos, and the death of the doorbuster era.

Los Angeles, Haunted Houses & Disneyland | G's Diary

Garrett just got back from Los Angeles and he's got spooky stories. From an immersive haunted house in downtown LA that might've been a portal to hell, to the nicest human in Hollywood (Abby at Paramount), to getting accidentally drenched at Disneyland. 

He dives into the chaos of Lightning Lanes, bad hospitality, and why Los Angeles feels like it was designed by a group of interns in a panic.
