  • Why the Austin Comedy Scene Is Dying | Stop the Bit #37
    Aug 19 2025

    Bryan's back. We're sorry. On this episode, the boys embark on a journey of introspection. We talk: Canadian celebrity athletes, football [cheerleader] season, and why 37-year-olds truly have their finger on the pulse of pop culture. Next, reboot culture finds another victim: a child star forced back into the industry. Then, two surprise guests: deranged puppet Bryan and an Austin comic way too hyped about the scene.

Then, Ben interviews the latest folk hero and scourge of the 1%: a honeybee with ulterior motives?!
