On this episode we meet Harrisburg area comic Dom Driscoll. He talks about his need to be heard and what drew him to standup. We talk about his van adventures, working in "da club", and hear from an amazing storyteller.

Dom will be on the Lehigh Valley's Funniest show with Chris at Emmaus Theater on June 26. His van show will return this summer!

Julie is fresh off releasing new music with Gun-Shy Butterfly. Catch the band's first show, and see Sacred Monsters too, on July 11 at Tin Can Bar.

We make amends this week for calling Matt from the Ditches "Dan" from the Ditches. There's a deep discussion about the Burger King long chicken sandwich you won't want to miss. We give each of The Ditches Spice Girl Names, John Facenda visits the studio, and we talk a little about music.

Rock n LOL is the podcase about the Philadelphia standup comedy and rock communities. See out next comedy show at The Gem in Spring City on June 19!

What can we say about this episode with Comic Eric Preston? We covered so much ground. We discussed the importance of shared cultural experiences like Tiger King and the overabundance of pandemic sourdough. We discussed Eric's writing process for his unconventional "dad jokes" including the importance of SOLICITED dick picks. We discovered the abundance of voice talent in the Spring City area, and we went on a cultural journay with white women everywhere. This and much more on Rock n LOL.

Rock n LOL is a podcast dedicated to the artists and art of the Philadelphia standup comedy and rock communities.

Chris and Julie are back at the Gem talking about rock and comedy. On this week's show:

• Chris asks The Linda Lindas the ultimate bonus round question
• Julie talks about creativity and fear of failure
• We discuss the first guy dumb enough to smoke stuff
• AND MORE NEW GUN-SHY BUTTERFLY MUSIC!

All this plus check out Chris and Julie at upcoming shows.

Chris has a show at SoulJoel's in Pottstown competing for Best of the Burbs on May 8, and a show at the Reachout Foundation in Bensalem (FREE SHOW) on the 16th.

Julie and Sacred Monsters play the Poetry Lounge in Pittsburgh on May 14 and Frederick Maryland on May 15.

Julie, your favorite co-host, is a guest for this episode. She and her bandmate Andrea formed Gun-Shy Butterfly last year and have been making a ton of music since. This is their first appearance on a podcast, and we will talk about this very unique musical partnership. Plus, debut two songs, (that's right, WORLD PREMIERS) off GSB's upcoming EP.

Special thanks to Karen Schwarz who stepped in as cohost with Chris this week!

New format! We changed it up a little. Now you get to hear from us for a full episode every other week. This week, we talk about everything important with rock and comedy, especially Panera's seasonal soup offerings. Chris takes you through his first every standup set, and Julie takes you throught the beginning of the evolution of a song. Oh, and we discuss Katy Perry launching into the heavens on the world's largest Hitachi Magic Wand. All this and more.

Our favorite band, Sludge, is finally in the studio with us. We became fans of Sludge when they became super fans of the podcast. On this epsiode, we talk to these high school grunge rockers about their band, their experience performing, and how Sludge came to be.

Chris and Julie, meanwhile, have tales of woe that include a baby firing from both ends, and a McDonald's bathroom encroachment.

This week Julie and Chris went to see Sludge at their show at a store in Lansdowne called Rock n' Roll Knife Fight. We got the opportunity to talk to the store owner, Richie, and he is our guest this week.

In Richie's words, Rock n' Roll Knife Fight is punk Walmart. You can find shirts, posters, stickers, and stuff you just won't find anywhere else in the area. We learned you'll also find an amazing community of "weirdos" that supports local music.

We mentioned Kenny Rayy on this episode (@kennyrayymusic on Instagram) and we were lucky enough to get to see her open for Sludge. Keep an eye open, she might be on one of our future shows.
