I...
2025-09-1457 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read32 - "His last name was Progresso"Danya Trommer and Tyler Durniak make their respective debuts on life's biggest stage: Our dumb podcast. Also John wasn't here because he was busy firing people. We soldier on regardless, through scenes from a funeral parlor, a book publisher, and civic heroism. What a ride! Then some Catholic electioneering washed down with robber barons who take to the skies. After that, it's a journey into blankets that is really hard to describe but that's why we play this game, baby! Also the riffs were fun and dumb, the Zack Norton sketches were real weird, and...
2025-09-0758 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read31 - "That distant mountain porno store"Ryan Ellington takes a seat at our table of showbiz and Sean Sullivan makes his debut chronicling a legendary retirement, the trials of cooking show television, and the emasculation of a suburban homeowner. Ennui, baby! Things go off the rails almost immediately with difficulties both technical (Sean has never used a computer) and personal (Sean took the casting personally). But we prevailed! Barely! We also talk mountain sales (because of John), elder-on-elder violence (because of Zack), and a stupid piano thing (you're welcome). It was very fun, thanks to Zack Norton for the sketches, we...

2025-08-2937 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read30 - "Shut up Kristin, you're poor!"Zach Stewart and Anthony Rinaldi are on the call sheet for some hotel lobby drama, equicide-related trauma, and an undercooked thing about slap fights. Coulda been good! This was an extremely silly time with fun anectdotes and John crashing out on character choices in real time. He's an executive, not an actor! Also sketches about shooting pool, vehicular homicide and revisiting your past. Whoa, are we network television? As always, these are sketch comedy first-reads by people who have never seen the sketches before. What a thing to do. "Hotel Lobby" at 4:38
2025-08-241h 00The Big Hollywood Table Read29 - "Looking for bank robber investors"Owen Linders and Rob Crean stop by to explore publishing, the real estate market, and yet another bank robbery. What's the difference, right? Nobody answer that. Katlin wasn't around so it wasn't as fun as usual, but we still had a good time talking about credit cards, hypnotism, and the road to hell. Regular stuff! Be normal! As always, these are sketch comedy first-reads by people who have never seen the sketches before. Living cinema. So brave.

2025-08-1753 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read28 - "Six birds, but they live forever"Cam Ohh and Kaitlin Buckley attend our clinic of being a movie star to explain fortune telling and the entire deep state. Also Cam was late lol. We also got into it about reality TV and concluded that it is actually Good, then some superhero crap from John, a cousinly disagreement, and the reality of corporate America, which is that it's good! We love it! As always, these are sketch comedy first-reads by our guests and also Katlin, and sometimes John. Wow, so brave of everyone. "Fortune Cookie" at 5:26 "Bingo" at 15:46
2025-08-101h 00The Big Hollywood Table Read27 - "Just smooshing"Rob Crean (@robcrean) is back to talk death, life, and the time someone called 911 way too much. It's always a blast having this kind of superstar on the show, and John is still doing Richard Nixon stuff so stay tuned for that. There are some baseball-based enjoyments from Mr. Crean himself, and some nonsense about poker and sex. John also had a holiday sketch in the middle of summer but everyone had fun, so Hollywood wins again. The last sketch is Zack Norton's fault, which makes him history's greatest monster. As always, these...
2025-08-0355 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read26 - "I can still meet babes platonically"James Huessy (@jameshuessy) has returned to reminisce about comedy, life, and famous baseball underwear. We also took a trip to heaven, the top of a mountain, and a tree full of birds. Maybe all of that was the same thing. Everyone was pretty tired so it's loopy the whole way through, and Katlin roasted each of us, which was pretty fun. As for the last two sketches: Our continued, totally uncritical celebration of masculinity remains undefeated. It's good! Props to Zack Norton for writing sketches that are transcriptions of his actual conversations. Art can be a...
2025-07-2756 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read25 - "He's on a rage-focused diet"Monica Carroll (@monica_j_carroll) makes her triumphant return and Dan Hall (@pukenightdan) makes his star-studded debut in a real barn burner of elevator madness, another Batman thing everyone was begging for, and the first steps of a true athlete. Also some great stories from Katlin and genuine, childlike wonderment from Dan the entire time. Basically it starts out off the rails, levels out, and then things really fall apart when everyone tries to be British. Then a Zoom call that scrambled everyone's brain and a thing about the railroad. Honestly in the back half...
2025-07-201h 00The Big Hollywood Table Read24 - "Australian God as my witness"Raoul Biron (@raoulbiron) returns for robbery getaways, restaurant complaints and down under dining. Then we get into some classic IP conflicts, a fever dream of the olden times, and a local cable rivalry. It's pretty eventful! There's also some talk about gas stations (lame!), KENO (very cool!), and an extended digression up front about a dream Katlin had. Also too many references to Driver's Ed, but those were John's fault and we're all afraid of that guy. He's too powerful! Special thanks to Zack Norton for consistently sending me the weirdest Google Docs I've ever...

2025-07-112h 00The Big Hollywood Table Read23 - "Salad bar asylum" Hal Griffin (@hotdogtimemachine) returns to the table of Choices in time for a bunch of yelling and reminiscing about childhood troublemaking. She also kills it reading sketches about pranks on the high seas, pro tennis psychosis, and a restaurant for fugitives. These are all real things! There's a nice digression in the back half about a book Hal hates, and her secret theory about the author's dark secret. Plus a firefighter's sports car, schizoid therapy, and a family tearing itself apart. "Message in a Bottle" at 4:23 "Tennis Interview" at 14:13 "Emerald Thursdays"...
2025-07-0657 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read22 - "Don't worry about the delicious gasoline"Shaun Connolly (@sirshaunconnolly) and Brandon Pires (@bpirescomedy) land on this week's call sheet, explaining electoral papacy, roast beef culture, and the soundtrack of our guilty pleasures. Also pervert snakes. Along the way, we pass through the VFW and the fast-galloping world of horse journalism. Things close out on a Zack Norton fever dream about suburban…something. It's hard to tell. Thanks, Zack! "Drinks" at 5:53 "Record Store" at 13:14 "At the Movies" at 21:57 "The Juggler at 31:23 "Transit Town Hall" at 39:11 "Maniac Raised Ranch" at 45:23 As al...
2025-06-2954 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read21 - "It's real for Catholics"Zach Stewart (@zachstewartcomedy) is back to explore self expression in the medical sciences, ghostwriting for a vampire, and Sports Journalism. We also talk through our voices in performances and life but immediately get back into a sketch about Donkey Basketball, so nobody learned anything. It's always so fun when Zach comes by, and Zack with a K wrote the weirdest sketch wow who could have guessed. Also an adoption thing that's very alienating, we love family, right? "Doctor's Visit" at 7:29 "Interview with a Dracula" at 15:57 "Calling the Game" at 27:01 "...
2025-06-2258 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read20 - "Seas were like baseball diamonds"Rob Crean (@robcrean) and Raoul Biron (@raoulbiron) make their superstar return to relitigate a 90s movie, steal some cash, and ruin a museum tour. There's also some chat about haunted houses and Pilot Charisma but who isn't talking about that these days. Then a bunch of troops, some strip mall shenanigans, and a sketch about sea captains falling apart so hard that Katln and I cried laughing. Living cinema! "Stella" at 5:49 "Bank Job" at 17:31 "Dinosaurs" at 25:08 "Boot Camp" at 31:48 "Psychic" at 41:52 "Flotsam Jetsam" at 49:57

This one was extremely chaotic, but in a fun way. Beau barked a lot, Katlin told old work stories, and Cam made derranged character choices. Also featuring urban infrastructure, feuding contractors, and post-apocalyptic Cadillac Margaritas.

But does it ever go right? This was a hoot and a holler, there's a really strange one in the middle that provokes a though-provoking conversation about public restrooms. You'll never guess which. Otherwise we have some competitive undertakers and the Real Story of Jaws, according to John. It's all nonsense. "The Electrician" at 4:44 "Bank Ad" at 12:00 "Painting" at 21:26 "Bathroom Drama" at 30:23 "Gravediggers" at 39:19 "...

From royal venues to family tablecloth strife to a showboating caterer, this was a roller coaster of modern matrimony takes and the dumbest sketches ever written. Thankfully, James and Zach handled it all with grace (the gay kind). "Wedding Question" at 7:18 "Whipped" at 17:23 "The Venue" at 28:06 "Honeymoon" at 39:29 "Tablecloth Emporium" at 47:47 "Caterer" at 53:31 Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.
2025-05-251h 03The Big Hollywood Table Read16 - "Our funky, highly spiritual truth"Carly's back to defend her radio station, Attorney Generalship, and something about firefighters. It all adds up, we swear! There's some healthy speculation about Kentucky Colonels and the Easter Bunny, stuff about the bass guitar, and a candy-themed piece of IP that sucks. Also in the last one we introduce the idea of a Grandboss, and that's emotional accuracy, baby. Ok that's all sorry for calling you baby. "Radio Star" at 4:30 "Two Generals" at 12:26 "13th Floor" at 20:58 "Florist" at 27:58 "The Jellybean Bus" at 38:40 "Boss Meeting"...
2025-05-1851 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read15 - "Finance some steaks"Bryan O'Donnell (@bryan_odonnell) and Brandon Pires (@bpirescomedy) build robots, negotiate deals, and rebrand the Catholic Church. But they do a bad job, because all the sketches are about people who are obnoxiously bad at their jobs. Everyone killed it and I was extremely alarmed by the existence of Donkey Basketball, which is real. Also jokes about a metal detector, the national anthem, and some roller blading badasses. Whoa. "Robots" at 5:52 "The Roller Blade Boys" at 14:36 "Metal Detector" at 23:46 "Negotiation" at 32:31 "God, Music, and Brunch" at 38:42
2025-05-1154 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read14 - "Play that sweet bird jazz"Monica Carroll (@monica_j_carroll) hits the slopes with some giraffes, gets into the blackmail game, and ruins a chess match.

A fun doctor sketch by our favorite Rob Crean (@robcrean), a crypto banking thing about family, and the hard-boiled case of the Great Chicago Fire. Like an egg! Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.
2025-05-0453 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read13 - "Tons of business kisses" Rob Crean (@robcrean) and Cam Oh (@camohhcomedy) stop by for some halftime speeches, inheritance disputes, and salary issues. Also Cam was late, what a mentally ill diva! This was an extremely fun hang, we did British rock stars, social media suffering, and the true story of a dogcatcher and the lottery, according to us. Also, a pretty reasonable discussion about improv comedy but you don't see me bragging about it. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.
2025-04-2757 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read12 - "Ocean's 2: Haul and Boats" Angela Sawyer (@downwitpants) and Zack Norton (Head Writer) participate in a heist, some courtroom drama, and the assassination of Julius Caesar. You heard it here first. We also talk borrowed cars and the mental health benefits of becoming a licensed real estate agent in the state of California. Things end with a funeral for a man and his small, wooden friend. But instead of a Pinocchio thing, it's even worse. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.
2025-04-2056 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read11 - "It's the barbershop code" Raoul Biron (@raoulbiron) delivers a Stubbs A-List level performance full of fake girlfriends, CIA-style surveillance, and a corrupt, world-weary schoolchild. The range! There's also some HVAC bullshit and a bank loan for an ethnic restaurant (British). Katlin wasn't into the conspiracy sketch but Raoul liked it, so I think we all came out on top. Shoutout to @Johntylercomedy for writing the Vice Principal sketch like a true king. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.

Plus, Al Pacino drops by, but you have to listen closely to catch it. There's a nice chat about high school bullying and at another point everyone gets mad at me for no reason. Everything I said was perfect, especially about the dog.

The dog barks at the beginning and I get mad, but that means Beau is technically on the podcast. Sixth mic, baby! Also jokes about golf dates, farmers, and porta potties. What more could you want. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.

Shaun Connolly (@sirshaunconnolly) brings his brand of Worcester-style justice to the high seas and the shoulder of Route 139 with style, plus a lot of yelling. This was an especially fun time doing what we do best: Selling stolen cars and besmirching Europeans.

2025-03-2353 minThe Big Hollywood Table Read07 - "This pamphlet had zero fine print" Ryan Ellington (@ryan_ellington) and Rohan Dias (human monster) sell some limos and break into the Heaven 500 with style. Besides the sketches, we spend a lot of time fixated on Rohan in a negative way but it all bounces off of him, which is his whole thing. Also we do a sketch about telepathic dogs that kind of goes off the rails but I thought it was fun. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.

2025-03-101h 32The Big Hollywood Table Read06 - "Twisted geniuses who are making spaghetti" Cam Oh (@camohhcomedy) jokes around about Komodo dragons and seasonal babes, all while clinging to the final thread of his sanity (not sketch related). There's also some car talk and we sexuality-code HBO shows at one point. Towards the end one of the sketches is really messed up with formatting and names, but Cam threw a tantrum about his character being named "Garth Chimney" so it's also his fault. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.
2025-03-091h 03The Big Hollywood Table Read05 - "Hand-picked cockroaches" Monica Carroll (@monica_j_carroll) and Carly break down baby teeth, wizards in the workplace, and the untimely death of God. There's also a healthy if lengthy discourse on eyelids and hammer dicks, a bisexual menace namned Frugal Frank, and some Hollywood stunt casting. Also there's a whole thing about Egypt and unions, believe me it's crazy. Hosted by @john_matthew_farrell, @thomcrowley, and @katlin.mcfee.

La Llamada De La Luna (LLDLL)172. Músicos que han Vivido Fenómenos Extraños (LLDLL)VII
En el programa 138 y el 140 hablé de famosos y experiencias paranormales, eran famosos en general, modelos, cantantes, actores, que han vivido fenómenos inexplicables. En esta ocasión, quería hablar solo de músicos. Y aunque a veces sus anécdotas las han vivido solos, no en pocas ocasiones, ha sido toda la banda… algo que puede dar qué pensar.
Casas embrujadas, encuentros con fantasmas, avistamientos OVNIs, o mensajes de esperanza.
Voy a contaros anécdotas de muchos músicos muy importantes, tal vez de la historia, como Elvis Presley, quien tuvo experiencias con su madre fallecida y con avistam...
