## Resource

This episode is sponsored by: Mini Golf Reviews Partner: Gorilla Mind - Use code: 20 Special Guest: Ben Giles of Laughable Productions This week, Dean and Ka$h are joined by comedian and producer Ben Giles for a packed episode full of comedy, current events, and the usual off-the-rails conversations. We talk about Oshkosh’s Funniest as Round 3 approaches on July 17th (tomorrow), the Laughable Productions Old Fashioned Bus Supper Club Tour, and Dean recaps performing at a cannabis-friendly venue. Ka$h shares what it’s like playing blind hockey and dives into a conversation about recycling, hypocrisy, and why common sense seems to be disappearing. Dean also brings up some of the latest alleged Mandela Effects that have surfaced online—including a certain candy bar from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and the mysterious “new” spelling of a famous chicken restaurant. What starts as a simple discussion quickly turns into one of the funniest tangents of the episode as Ka$h somehow breaks down every Wonka Bar Charlie Bucket receives throughout the original film. Dean also offers a message to comedy bookers about respecting the talent they hire, we announce Gorilla Mind’s new GNC-exclusive Candy Apple flavor, discuss EAA AirVenture taking over Oshkosh, and react to Conor McGregor reportedly receiving a massive $15 million payout for a knee injury. Comedy, opinions, laughs, conspiracy theories, and a few hot takes—you know the drill. TICKETS!!! New episodes every week on Thursday. Like, subscribe, share, and tell a friend to Move the Mic Stand!
