    COMEDY SIMP: Episode 027 Welcome back to the Comedy Simp podcast! 😂🎉 In this wild episode, host Stephen Michael James is joined by the multi-talented J-Money—a comedian and street fighter whose epic matches you’ve probably seen on the YouTube channel, Streetbeefs Scrapyard! 🥊🔥 And returning for more laughs is the one and only Jake E Tee, the realtor turned comedy star—because who doesn’t love a guy who can sell you a house and throw down? 🏠💪 This week, the guys dive into the thrills of underground boxing and J-Money’s hilarious tales from the streets. 🎤💥 Get the inside scoop on the origins of Streetbeefs and how the Scrapyard came to be—spoiler alert: it involves more punches and laughs than a Tinder date gone wrong! 😅💔 But wait, there’s more! The gang reminisces about their childhood sports (before we were all just “adults” worrying about bills 💸), wild animal encounters that’ll have you questioning their sanity 🦁🐻, and the absurdity of first-class air travel. If you thought being bumped up to first class meant free mimosas, think again! 🍾✈️ They also tackle some serious topics like their comical experiences at The Comedy Voice—a comedy competition where they all faced off on different weeks. 💪🤣 Expect some epic tales of what went wrong, accompanied by “if onlys” and “next time I’ll...” Yeah, sure, next time you'll knock ‘em dead, right? 😏 Now, hold onto your funny bones because things take a punchy turn as Stephen tosses out the burning question of the day: Who would win in a fight—Adam Tiller or Jay Marks? 🌪️🔊 It's the ultimate showdown that’s got us all on the edge of our seats! Who needs pay-per-view when we can just watch two comedians argue about punchlines and potential body slams? 🤼‍♂️🤔 Jokes fly as they speculate who might come out on top. Is it the witty wordsmith with the sharpest comebacks or the guy who can probably bench press a small car? 🚗💥 The stakes have never been higher in the world of comedy—who knew LOLs could turn into KOs? And as if that’s not enough, Stephen brings up the recent Tony Hinchcliffe controversy that had everyone talking—and the guys weigh in on comedy, offensive jokes, and whether Seattle really can handle the heat! 🌶️💣 They conclude with a heartfelt note on the election, reminding all of us that, regardless of the outcome, we need to come together—because laughter is the best medicine! ❤️ 👉 Hit that LIKE button, SUBSCRIBE, and smash that NOTIFICATION BELL so you never miss an episode of hilarity! 😂 Join the convo in the comments! Who do you think would win in a fight—Adam or Jay? 🤔💥 Place your bets and let the trash talk begin! ------------------------------- STREETBEEFS SCRAPYARD: @streetbeefs_scrapyard https://linktr.ee/streetbeefsscrapyard ------------------------------- Stephen Michael James: @stephenmjcomedy J-Money: @jmoneycomedy Jake E Tee: @jakeeteecomedy ------------------------------- #ComedySimp #Podcast #StreetFighting #Comedy #UndergroundBoxing

    COMEDY SIMP: Episode 026

    .

    In this epic episode of Comedy Simp, Stephen sits down at Whiskey Mile with Seattle’s own Casey Judson for a night packed with laughs, stories, and behind-the-scenes comedy gold! 🎉 The guys dive into everything from handicapped comedians breaking barriers to their favorite podcasts that keep them inspired and laughing. They share hilarious memories of childhood sports glory (and fails!), discuss the art (and struggle) of producing comedy shows, and even take a nostalgic trip back to the 90s with a shoutout to The Mighty Ducks—Quack! Quack!

    .

    The conversation keeps rolling with tales of Charlie Sheen, wild times, and “winning,” along with jamming out to old-school music and reminiscing about playing in bands. They also shout out local comic Mike Masilotti’s new book and share some larger-than-life stories about people from Texas, before highlighting their favorite female comics in the Seattle scene. 🤠📚🎸

    .

    Then, the episode gets even better as featured comedian Corey Bennett jumps in, adding his own flavor to the night. Corey takes us through his journey from growing up in the closed-minded town of Shelton, WA, to making a name for himself on the comedy stages of Seattle and Tacoma. 🌲🏙️ Stephen opens up about being influenced by gay culture from an early age, while Corey talks about finding his voice on stage after years of doing drag and theater. They swap stories about performing in Olympia, the vibe differences between Seattle and Tacoma comedy, and share those unforgettable moments of being on stage for the very first time. 🎭✨

    .

    This episode is a must-listen for comedy lovers, PNW locals, and anyone chasing their passion. Tune in for laughs, real talk, and a whole lot of heart!
