Stand-Up Comedian Lauren Allen hangs out with us to talk about life inside the Austin comedy scene, running The Suicide Mic, and what it’s really like being a woman who isn’t afraid to be loud, honest, and completely unfiltered in a world full of fragile egos. Lauren shares stories about bouncing between open mics, getting pulled into the Kill Tony orbit, and why comedians who love being roasted on big stages suddenly get uncomfortable when someone gives them real feedback in person.The conversation moves through weird show experiences, backstage politics, and how quickly reputations form in comedy — especially when you refuse to play nice or follow the usual rules. Along the way, Lauren explains the story behind calling herself a “Dead Daddy’s Girl,” how humor shapes the way she deals with everything from grief to dating, and why leaning into who you are is often the fastest way to both stand out and get people talking.In this episode, we also talk about:* Running The Suicide Mic and dealing with comic backlash* The Kill Tony scene and why humiliation is part of the culture* Where the “Dead Daddy’s Girl” nickname comes from* What it’s like being labeled and talked about in Austin comedy* Why being honest can make you controversial onstageNew episodes every Monday.Subscribe, like, and drop a comment — it really helps the show.Check out LaurenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenn.allenn 🥃 Official Spirits Sponsor – Great Lakes DistilleryWebsite: https://greatlakesdistillery.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatlakesdistillery🎲Episode Sponsor - FU The GameInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fu_thegameWebsite: https://futhegame.com🍸 Cocktails with Dimples and The BeardYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cwdatbInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cwdatbpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CocktailswithDimplesandTheBeardX: https://twitter.com/dimplesthebeardTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cocktailsdimplesthebeardRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6163487📧 For sponsorships or collaborations: cwdatb@gmail.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/cocktails-with-dimples-and-the-beard/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Madinah Wilson-Anton talks about slipping punchlines into her pandemic-era political speeches and realizing she liked waiting for laughs more than applause, which eventually led her into stand-up and onto the Kill Tony stage. From there, the conversation moves through sitting in the holding room with hundreds of comedians, being taken in by a group of Texas comics afterward, and joking about hoping she wasn’t being trafficked while being dragged from mic to mic. Madinah also opens up about growing up around her uncle Rocky Wilson as her first real exposure to comedy, performing with him later in life, and the strange way humor runs through her family — including stories about her Nana in a nursing home with dementia who somehow still manages to land perfectly timed one-liners. The episode comes full circle with the now-infamous Zoom committee meeting where people were accidentally trash-talking on mute and someone flushed a toilet mid-session, leading Madinah to coin the phrase “talking shit and taking shits.”In this episode, we also talk about:* Her decision to run for office and how that changed her life* What it was like getting elected during the pandemic* Doing a podcast and stand-up with her uncle Rocky Wilson* The weird reality of being recognized as a politician at comedy shows* How other comics react when they find out who she isNew episodes every Monday.

Sara Cline tells a joke about detachable shower heads that immediately turns into a conversation about having two vaginas. From there, the discussion moves through her appearances on Kill Tony, an on-stage kiss during her interview, and the DMs she says she started receiving afterward — including messages offering to pay her to “see” things. Sara also describes what it felt like being on the Kill Tony stage, how bright the lights were, and moments where she didn’t catch what the panel was saying.In this episode, we also talk about:* How Kill Tony was at the Vulcan compared to the Mothership* Why Sara says she will not “broadcast my anatomy” on dating apps* Her explanation of counting rhythm and cadence when writing comedy* How poetry readings handle humor differently than stand-up crowds* Her decision to apply to English PhD programsNew episodes every Monday.

Episode 250 got out of hand immediately. We kicked things off with Spicy Candyland — our own punishment-loaded twist on a childhood classic — and the chaos hit faster than any of us expected. The punishments were brutal, the board betrayed us, and the whole night spiraled from the first move.After barely surviving Spicy Candyland, we jumped straight into FU The Game, and things somehow got even louder and more unhinged. By the end, we weren’t sure if we’d recorded a milestone celebration or a complete meltdown on camera.Hitting 250 episodes is huge, and this one feels exactly like the three of us — messy, loud, ridiculous, and a whole lot of fun as Dimples, The Beard, AND JUDY try to hold it together and fail spectacularly. If you love chaotic podcast episodes, punishment games, disaster game nights, or watching people laugh their way through bad decisions… this is your episode.Grab a drink and buckle up — Episode 250 goes wild immediately.Like if this episode made you sweat.Comment if you would've quit halfway through.Subscribe if you want to see us make even worse decisions.🥃 Official Spirits Sponsor – Great Lakes DistilleryWebsite: https://greatlakesdistillery.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatlakesdistillery⭐ Featured Episode Sponsors:Uncle Skunk’s Beverages Website: https://uncleskunks.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncleskunksbeverages FU The Game Website: https://futhegame.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fu_thegame🔥 Hot Sauce Lineup — Used in Spicy Candyland:Hellfire Hot Sauce Website: https://hellfirehotsauce.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hellfirehotsauce Sauce Leopard Website: https://www.sauceleopard.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sauceleopard Gindo’s Website: https://gindos.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegindos Coconut Joe’s Website: https://familytraditionsspecialtyfoods.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familytraditionsspecialtyfoods Horror Struck Website: https://horrorstruckhotsauce.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horrorstruckhotsauce Sam Sa’House Website: https://www.samsahouse.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samsahouse🍸 Cocktails with Dimples and The BeardYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cwdatbInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cwdatbpodcast/Website: https://cocktailswithdimplesandthebeard.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CocktailswithDimplesandTheBeardX: https://twitter.com/dimplesthebeardTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cocktailsdimplesthebeardRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6163487📧 For sponsorships or collaborations: cwdatb@gmail.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/cocktails-with-dimples-and-the-beard/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Jake Renick Simpson’s story is straight out of a dream — the kind every music fan has but few ever live.In eighth grade, Jake wrote a letter to Dave Matthews saying he’d play music with him someday. Years later, that dream came true when he stepped on stage at The Gorge, performing fiddle alongside Dave Matthews Band in front of thousands.On this episode of Cocktails with Dimples and The Beard, Jake tells the full story — from learning fiddle at four years old and recording his first album at eleven, to touring with Lukas Nelson and the moment he got the call to join Dave on stage.We talk about:🎻 The difference between a fiddle and a violin (and why Jake’s has a rattlesnake rattle inside)🎶 His journey from small-town bluegrass festivals to national tours📜 The eighth-grade letter that manifested his dream🤯 Meeting Dave Matthews and trying not to “fangirl”🔥 What it felt like playing Before These Crowded Streets live at The GorgeIt’s a story about timing, talent, and one surreal weekend that changed everything.Check out Jake Renick Simpson -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/r3n1ckBig thanks to the sponsors for this episode - Boom Island Brewing & Great Lakes DistilleryBoom Island Brewing Website: https://boomislandbrewing.comBoom Island Brewing IG: https://www.instagram.com/boomislandbeerGreat Lakes Distillery Website: https://greatlakesdistillery.com/Great Lakes Distillery IG: https://www.instagram.com/greatlakesdistilleryCheck us out -YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cwdatbInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cwdatbpodcast/Website: https://cocktailswithdimplesandthebeard.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CocktailswithDimplesandTheBeardX: https://twitter.com/dimplesthebeardTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cocktailsdimplesthebeardRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6163487Sponsorship and business inquiries: cwdatb@gmail.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/cocktails-with-dimples-and-the-beard/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Would you ask a white supremacist to take down a Nazi sign?Journalist Steffen Hou did — and he didn’t know if he’d walk away.We’re usually cocktails and chaos, but this week we’re going somewhere darker.Steffen Hou, the Danish filmmaker behind Face of Hate, spent seven years following Jasen Barker — a KKK member whose life was built on trauma, rage, and the search for belonging. What started as an investigation turned into one of the most dangerous and life-changing stories ever caught on film.From walking into armed compounds to confronting Jasen about a pigpen named “Dachau” — the Nazis’ first concentration camp — Steffen takes us inside the moment that could’ve ended his career, or worse. He shares how empathy, not anger, became his greatest weapon, and what that moment taught him about hate, forgiveness, and humanity.Grab a drink and join us as we talk about:🍸 The childhood tragedy that fueled Jasen’s hate — and what finally broke the cycle.🍸 The day Steffen thought he might not make it out alive.🍸 How one impossible question changed everything.🍸 The making of Face of Hate and how it went from rejected to millions of views.🍸 What real journalism looks like in a world addicted to outrage.This isn’t your usual round of laughs — it’s one of the most intense, eye-opening, and unexpectedly human conversations we’ve ever had.💬 What would you have done in that moment?

Hey, fellow lushes! On this episode we sit down with singer-songwriter and Wisconsin native Genevieve Heyward — a musician who grew up belting karaoke at age ten, picked up her first bar gigs before she could legally drink (thanks, Mom), and now splits her time between the Midwest and Nashville chasing songs, chaos, and the perfect metaphor.Genevieve takes us through her winding path from teenage karaoke queen (Before He Cheats and The Climb were in heavy rotation) to blowing out her voice with Alice Cooper covers, surviving speech therapy, and coming back stronger than ever. We talk about Mile of Music beginnings, writing weeks in Nashville, and the moment one throwaway lyric — “sprinkles on a shit sundae” — stopped the room and named her brand-new EP.We dig into the near-disaster of almost calling it Disco Tits, why she actually hates sprinkles, and the creative chaos of promoting a record by dumping rainbow sugar on onions, kimchi, and corn on the cob. There’s jug wine teen stories, doppelgänger soul sisters in Amsterdam, why she thrives in uncomfortable rooms, and how her Instagram skits channel a childhood spent on Saturday nights watching SNL with her dad.It’s Wisconsin roots, Nashville hustle, karaoke scars, and sprinkles on absolutely everything — even when they don’t belong.Like, comment, and subscribe — or we’re sprinkling your next sundae with regret. 🍦✨Check out Genevieve Heyward -Website: https://www.genevieveheyward.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/genheywardBig thanks to the sponsors for this episode - Broken Bat Brewing & Great Lakes DistilleryBroken Bat Website: https://brokenbatbrewery.comBroken Bat Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brokenbatbrewGreat Lakes Distillery Website: https://greatlakesdistillery.comGreat Lakes Distillery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatlakesdistilleryCheck us out -YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cwdatbInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cwdatbpodcast/Website: https://cocktailswithdimplesandthebeard.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CocktailswithDimplesandTheBeardX: https://twitter.com/dimplesthebeardTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cocktailsdimplesthebeardRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6163487Sponsorship and business inquiries: cwdatb@gmail.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/cocktails-with-dimples-and-the-beard/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hey, fellow lushes! On this episode we sit down with Michael Morgan — Texas-born comedian, musician, Marine veteran, and accidental expert in saying the wrong word at the wrong time.Michael takes us through his wild path from sneak-watching Saturday Night Live at volume “3” in a Pentecostal household, to one of his very first sets where he dropped the C-word three times during somebody’s steak dinner — and got told, politely but firmly, never come back. From there it was a break, a reset, and eventually a return to comedy with sharper stories and way more control of the mic.We dive into the Texas comedy boom, his upcoming song If I Was Gay, I’d F** Ryan Gosling*, and the bizarre overlap of his past lives — from drumming in church bands to touring the country as a Christian music artist, to serving in the Marines while his mom terrified recruiters and boot camp drill instructors. Along the way we get moose-knuckle high school playbill photos, Star Wars fandom, awkward VHS porn confessions, and the entrepreneurial grind of selling door-to-door freezer meat with his dad.It’s comedy chaos, Texas grit, Marine discipline (sort of), and the kind of storytelling only someone who’s bombed big and come back harder can deliver.Like, comment, and subscribe — or Michael’s mom is calling your boss to get you grounded.Check out Michael Morgan -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelmorgancomedyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelmorgancomedyBig thanks to the sponsors for this episode - RA!
