This week's guest is Steve Grande, an improviser based out of Chicago, IL. Steve & Patrick were roommates in college and were two of the founding members of the Rowan University Sketch & Improv Club, which evolved into their touring improv troupe, "The Second Place Champions." We talk about Steve's early performing days, his creation of the comedy troupe with Patrick, taking the troupe on the road (which includes the infamous show at Iona College mentioned in an earlier episode), and working with Face Off Unlimited, an incredibly talented improvisational troupe based in New York, producing "BATSU!" shows both in New York & Chicago.

CONTENT WARNING: Firearms and Suicide are discussed from 23:42 - 28:31. It is about these acts being portrayed onstage, but if you are sensitive to the topics, you may want to skip that portion of the episode.

Patrick & George catch up about the vacations the two of them have been on over the last couple of weeks. Patrick went to see friend of the show Ruben Castillo perform in Las Vegas, while George went to Nashville to work at the Society of American Magicians Conference. During which, George got to meet a very special surprise guest for the event that only makes Patrick INCREDIBLY jealous.

This week, we’re cracking open the vault! Patrick & George were booked for a show in October of 2023 by a man named Jon Bolton. Jon & George have been friends for years through magic and professional wrestling. They speak briefly about the show, before diving into Jon’s wrestling career, which took him overseas and earned him the respect of a number of legendary professional wrestlers. Enjoy this wrestling heavy episode, recorded in 2023 (where they successfully predict that the episode would not be heard until 2025!)!
