    We're Off on Monday?
    Jan 28 2026
    This one goes everywhere. We kick things off on MLK Day talking legacy, performative “holiday energy,” and why certain political commentators always find a way to make everything worse. From there, we get into comments about MLK, the internet’s selective outrage machine, and why it feels like corporations (and the NFL) do PR calculus instead of having a conscience. Then we spiral (in the best way) into: the files, who would actually hurt to see on the list, whether the conspiracies are getting harder to dismiss, and why “when they start hiding it” is when everybody locks in. In the second half, Jordan breaks down getting called “Temu Drake” at Duckworth’s, dealing with bots and hate comments, and we talk about professionalism in comedy after a local open mic debate goes sideways online. We wrap with thoughts on standup movies that don’t feel real, Ryan Davis on Shannon Sharpe, and upcoming show dates — including Comics React Live at The Comedy Zone. COMICS REACT LIVE — Feb 19 (Charlotte Comedy Zone) A standup + music video reaction experience inspired by the 2000s countdown era. Dress up, pull up, and please buy tickets so Jordan can do this again. https://www.cltcomedyzone.com/shows/3...

    Jan 20 2026
    The gang’s back together — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, and Jason Allen King — with rum, coke (a lot of coke), and big 2026 energy. We open with an important announcement: Three’s Comedy Tour hits the Cain Center for the Arts in Cornelius, NC on March 10. If you’re in Charlotte, Huntersville, Mooresville, or anywhere nearby, grab tickets now at cainarts.org. Then we get into awards season chaos, including the indie horror film “Good Boy” — shot from a dog’s perspective — and the question nobody expected to debate: Can a dog be a great actor? (And does this open the door for more dog-led horror films?) From there, the conversation turns into a love letter to craft: acting choices, career pivots, and why certain performers (Michael B. Jordan, Timothée Chalamet, Idris Elba, Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey, and more) hit different when they’re locked in. In the second half, we show love to the Charlotte comedy scene, shout out both clubs (The Comedy Zone + Duckworth’s) and talk about what it means to get “passed” — plus why that kind of recognition matters for building a real comedy culture in the city. Finally, we set 2026 goals for each other (with equal parts encouragement and roasting), and close with a Would You Rather that turns into a full-on morality debate: Generational wealth… or a portal gun that lets you travel the multiverse?

    Jan 14 2026
    Zoning Out is back for the first episode of 2026! Jordan, Jason, and Jonathan kick off the new year by diving into the Stranger Things series finale (SPOILERS AHEAD). We break down what hit, what missed, and what had us yelling at the screen: the “volume” release strategy, the over-explaining/exposition-heavy dialogue, characters randomly turning into motivational speakers, and the biggest debate of all… How did NOBODY important die?! We also get into: • Why Season 4 might’ve been the peak • How the show shifted from creepy mystery to full superhero action • Vecna getting a little too much screen time (and backstory) • Nancy going full Rambo • The military being cartoonishly evil • And why Hawkins realistically should’ve been erased from the map afterward. Then we close with a Would You Rather that turns into a personality test: Would you rather have a “skip the awkward part” button or a “redo one sentence” button — once per day, for life? Plus: quick show plugs and cruise abandonment allegations. Like, comment, and subscribe (we just cracked 30!) New episodes presented by The Comedy Zone
