It’s been two long years since Dwight Slade’s last nolaughtrack and we couldn’t be happier to have him back.   Dwight tells Justin about his recent move from Oregon to trendy Idaho and the subsequent purging of junk.  What would Dwight’s childhood friend, Bill Hicks, think of his relocation to the stale suburbs of Boise? And why was Dwight asked (repeatedly) to apologize while emceeing a fundraiser.  Did he apologize?  Should he have? He’s got some strong feelings and doesn’t hold back.

Two headliners. No waiting. Josh (J Elvis) Weinstein & Chris Bliss join Justin for ep 313. This isn't their first podcast together, but it could be the last.   The guys discuss working smart versus working hard, how their co-headling week has changed over the years, and whether or not a live comedy audience can be too big.  We also get an update on Josh's documentary about Michael Des Barres and why certain scences didn't make the final cut of I Need You to Kill.
