    This week on Move the Mic Stand… it’s all made from scratch.

    Dean literally made biscuits from scratch (like a pioneer with WiFi), while KASH made a groundbreaking discovery in the world of Cinnamon Sugar Toast technology. Revolutionary stuff.

    We break down:
    The Gorilla Mind flavor of the week: Tropic Wave 🌊
    Why Aldi’s always smells… the way it smells
    The Winners Venue comedy show recap (KASH was on 👀)
    Skyline Open Mic… which was “meh” for Dean but for Ka$h it was Ka$h Wednesday! 🤑🤑🤑
    Dean potentially becoming a Facebook Fact Checker
    Upcoming shows:
    Feb 28 – Daily Social Dean headlining
    March 3 – KASH & Dean judging/roasting a Kill Tony–style show

    And we close it out with a comedy tip that every comic understands the hard way: Have you ever told a joke you instantly regretted?
    Not just that — we dig into understanding what a joke is really about… because sometimes the laugh isn’t where you think it is.

    Biscuits. Roast battles. Tropic Wave.

    This episode is baked fresh.

    Season 4 is officially here, and we’re coming in hot.

    KA$H kicks things off and executive assistant Gurgle couldn’t wait to announce his presence, and then roll straight into what’s new — including the mysterious “seduction abduction” concept that absolutely needs explaining.

    We talk comedy promotion and why taking audience pictures might be the most underrated marketing move in stand-up.

    There’s some gorilla mind energy in this episode — less overthinking, more instinct, more action. Just talk about it. Just do it.

    We recap KA$H’s show for the Lions Club in Lomira, shout out the show at Winners on the 20th for KA$H, and preview Dean’s upcoming show on the 28th.


    Plus: New open mics at Appleton Beer Factory (Tuesdays at 7) and Plank Road Pub in Menasha (March 3rd), where Dean & KA$H will be critiquing and roasting live sets.

    Oh — and yes, Afternoon Tea makes an appearance. Because of course it does.

    New season. Bigger moves. Same mic stand.

    It’s the finale of season 3 and the season ends with food, fun, and accidental growth.

    Dean tries Gorilla Mind’s Red Gummy Fish flavor before the mics were hot, he just couldn’t wait for Ka$h and the show.

    We taste-test a variety of Valentine’s Day candy hearts in preparation for Valentine’s Day, and discuss Bert Kreischer’s Netflix release, The Dark Crystal, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Turns out Elmo may have a questionable past.

    KASH talks performing at Substance Anonymous, merch plans come up, and Dean attempts his mom’s eclair torte from memory alone.

    We also break down being special guest speakers at Comedy College, which ties into our comedy tip on why taking a comedy class can sharpen your stand-up game.

    Comedy Tip: Taking a Class

    We hope you enjoyed the first three seasons of Move the Mic Stand and that you will tune in next week for the premiere of season 4.

    This week Dean & Ka$h bounce all over the place—in the best way possible.

    We kick things off by circling back to last week’s recording where we may have picked up an EVP that sounds suspiciously like “I love ham” (check out @deanbergcomedy on TikTok — first video 👀).

    We also discover a trigger word for ads to play. Oops double the trouble this week.

    Movies back in the day were much better than they are now, they came with collectibles!

    Plus: podcasts popping up on Netflix now—including Pete Davidson and The Last Podcast on the Left—and what that might mean for comedy, podcasting, and streaming moving forward.

    And, of course, a few other detours we won’t spoil here… you’ll just have to listen.

    Move the Mic Stand - The Algorithm Hates You and Your Grilled Cheese

    Partner: Gorilla Mind - Use code: 20

    This week on Move the Mic Stand, we open our minds with Gorilla Mind (Blue Raspberry) and it’s so good it breaks this timeline.

    We recap our show at Golden Plated, break down why ads have gotten aggressively intrusive (seriously—why can’t you like anything anymore?), and Kash explains why the show Mo having a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score makes absolutely no sense to him.

    We also get into food like grown adults who refuse to mature: Kash and his wife’s Wagyu meatloaf, the elite grilled cheese we’d each create if given unlimited power, and why comfort food might be the only thing we trust anymore.

    Plus, a comedy tip on how people are connected through like-mindedness and that everything has probably been done already in some way so you have to make it your own.

    This episode isn’t contagious—but it might still leave a mark.

    Dean recaps surviving Influenza Omega, and both hosts weigh in on the Gorilla Mind Bombsicle—flavor, effects, and whether it’s worth the hype. We get into Ka$h going fully shaved, unexpected Progresso soup drops, and Dean’s lingering regret over grade-school pull-ups that still live rent-free in his head.

    We close things out with a comedy tip inspired by a strange show request—breaking down why bookers’ online appearances matter, what professionalism looks like on social media and websites, and how comics can protect themselves before saying yes to a gig.

    This episode isn’t contagious… but it might save you from a bad booking.

    Dean and KA$H cover a little bit of everything in this episode, which is code for comedy advice, retail trauma, and holiday arguments no one could have predicted.

    The Comedy Tip dives into booking other comics and why clearly communicating details can save friendships, group chats, and entire comedy scenes.

    We recap a Puzzle Competition, where Stan Dabrowski and KA$H teamed up to somehow pull off the win, talk about Dean’s first day at the new job, and why the studio now looks like a festive hostage situation thanks to new decorations.

    Also discussed: When the Christmas tree should come down with Dean’s shocking tree confession, picking up Jess’s Target order, and how other mobile order pickup systems like Kohl’s new pickup system feels like it was designed by someone who doesn’t mind theft.

    Plus plenty of side quests, detours, and “how did we get here?” moments along the way.

    This week starts before the show even starts — when Ka$h warns Dean he’s about to say something not to be taken out of context that might sound kinda mean but was meant in much jest.

    From there, the vibes go much much up.

    Dean talks about coming out of a rough two-month stretch and finally feeling his energy shift, we unpack the Stranger Things finale (without spoilers), and Ka$h reveals what he’s been watching lately.

    This week’s Gorilla Mind pitch: How energy, mindset, and fuel actually affect performance.

    And our comedy tip of the week: How to take a small joke or premise and expand it into a full bit without forcing it.

    Friends of all ages, raised vibes, pop culture therapy, and practical comedy advice — much much of everything.
