Ep 762 - O sal e a arte contemporânea estão de costas voltadas

In this mini episode, Jason talks about how truth is utilized in comedy, namely in improv. Truth in Comedy is one of the main principles in improv, but the idea of using or telling the truth is not only familiar to improv. The truth, what we all know is real or what we know to be happening is something you have to get right for comedy to land. Jason mostly discusses improv, but he also talks about how using the truth can play out in various forms of comedy like stand-up and even late night TV. He also discusses how using your truth can be helpful in your work.

Mini Episode No. 29 - Building a Comedy Community

Everything soaked in regret and old Hollywood black & white
1952 Female Detective TV Show by Edwin H. Balder
She walked in like a whisper, silk on tile
Red wine lips, cigarette smile
Her glove hit the floor like a dare, like a flag
“You find things, don’t you?” she said with a drag
The file said “missing,” but the trail was warm
Hotel ledger signed in a trembling form
Room 6 smelled of jasmine and gunpowder
The mirror cracked, but her perfume was louder
It’s a game of smoke and velvet lies
Where truth wears heels and alibis
She’s the queen of hearts, I’m the queen of doubt
And every move’s a whisper till I call it out
The bellhop flinched when I asked her name
Said she checked in twice, but never came
A matchbook folded in a lover’s code
And a lipstick note that said “I owed”
She never blinked when I said his name
But her pulse betrayed the flame
The lace she wore was stitched in grief
And every thread spelled disbelief
There was blood on the cuff of her coat
A receipt for a room she never wrote
A photo torn, just half a face
And a diamond ring in a velvet case
She said he vanished, left her cold
But the bruises bloomed in stories told
She wasn’t chasing ghosts or men
She was chasing silence once again
It’s a game of smoke and velvet lies
Where truth wears heels and alibis
She’s the queen of hearts, I’m the queen of doubt
And every move’s a whisper till I call it out
She killed the man who broke her vow
Then hired me to chase him down
Not to find him—but to bury the trail
Layer of... sheer lace...this lamp light tail
But here’s the twist she didn’t see
I found the truth she meant for me
A bullet lodged in a music box
A name engraved beneath the locks
The maid saw her leave at 2:09
With powder burns and shattered wine
She paid in cash, she wore his coat
And left a note that simply wrote:
"He said forever. I said ....nope"
It’s a game of smoke and velvet lies
Where truth wears heels and alibis
She’s the queen of hearts, I’m the queen of doubt
And every move’s a whisper till I call it out
She killed the man who broke her vow
Then hired me to chase him down
Not to find him—but to bury the trail
Layer of... sheer lace... 
Her... final... veil...
The case is closed, the file is sealed
But I still taste the lies she peeled
She wore regret like vintage silk
And poured revenge as smooth as milk
The lace was hers, the crime was clean
She played the part, she set the scene
And I—
I let her go
Because I know
What women do
When they’re alone
And done
With being seen

Velvet Lies by🌹Tina Talone🌹

In this mini ep, Jason addresses the concept of separating art from the artist when the latter faces allegations of misconduct. Jason explores how people often respond by either dismissing or defending the artist based on their work and provides insights into the complexity of continuing to enjoy art when its creator's actions are known. He suggests a thoughtful, principled approach to how you engage with work from problematic figures. He also discusses the responsibility we as artists have. Let's have a thoughtful discourse.

We have a great talk with NYC-based comedian and improviser Rob Penty. Jason and Rob discuss their time together on the team Glitter at the Magnet Theater and Rob's other Magnet improv teams, Sexy Baby and Wrath. Rob reflects on his initial foray into standup comedy and why he eventually gravitated towards improv, highlighting the supportive community aspect of improv versus the often isolating standup scene. He delves into his journey through different comedy formats, and provides insights into his philosophies on improv and comedy. Rob also shares thoughtful anecdotes about storytelling and the various techniques and methodologies he applies in when doing monologues. It's a great talk!

No. 403 - Rob Penty Talks Improv and Storytelling

“No Limits” captures the essence of our daily struggle and the need to prove to ourselves that we are truly alive. The track conveys a message of perseverance and courage, inspiring listeners to keep moving forward even when faced with challenges that seem to impose limits.

Musically, the song blends the intense energy of Punk Rock, with its aggressive and driving rhythms, with subtle EDM elements that add depth and modern texture. The result is a heavy and captivating sound, with a sober yet vibrant tone that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish. “No Limits” is, above all, a shout of freedom, exciting and empowering, connecting emotion and technicality in a unique sonic experience.

Túnel de Vento é simultaneamente um podcast de comédia e um erro. 

Há improviso, humor, lamirés sobre literatura e poesia e, de longe em longe, javardice de elevado quilate.

De Roberto Gamito e suas vozes.

In the shadows of Apache Junction, at the foot of the majestic Superstition Mountains, sits a weathered hacienda. This desert oasis is home to an enigmatic figure, a songwriter whose journey reads like a long, dusty road of honky-tonk bars and college cafeterias. He wasn't chasing fame or glitter; instead, he chose the soul-crushing beauty of music for music's sake.

Years spent hunched over sticky barroom tables and scribbling lyrics on napkins earned him a reputation—not in the spotlight but in the back rooms where deals are made. He wrote melodies that found their way into the hearts of stars who had lost their own muse. He sold his creations for cash, with no recognition, but the whisper of his songs carried the weight of his soul.

Finally, he bought this piece of desert paradise—a stable income from his timeless songs allowed him to live comfortably, if anonymously. Here in this hacienda, with his family beside him and the mountains as his backdrop, he found the peace to write hits under his own name. He chuckled at the irony that now, without chasing fame, he could create music that brought him joy.

In the end, it was never about the spotlight. It was about the journey, the stories, and the songs that wrote themselves through his life. As the sun set behind the Superstitions, casting long shadows over the hacienda, he strummed his guitar and sang—content, unknown, and unburdened by the world's gaze.
