The Funny Thing Is

Kevin Laferriere and Evan Berger join the podcast to share how being stay-at-home dads, mixed with social media, changed their lives. By sharing their stories and experiences as dads, they gained followers and fans and were able to continue to tap into their creative endeavors while juggling fatherhood. An inspiring story by the guys we wish were dads to us all. #thedumbdads #fatherhood #podcast #thefunnythingis #comedy #parenthood #socialmedia

This week I answer all your burning questions and you guys did not disappoint! Even the perverts had some interesting quandaries. We talk about dating as a single mom, my biggest fear for modern day kids and everything Nurse Rachel. I also talk about my favorite projects and how I learned about feminism for the first time. #q&a #askmeanything #thefunnythingis #podcast #nicoleburch #kidsandcellphones #socialmedia #singlemom #dating #the7guysyoudatebeforeyougetmarried

Comedian Ariel Elias talks about the night heckling went too far. After a drunk, angry audience member chucked a High Noon can at her, what she did next would catapult her career. This is a story of how sometimes insane things happen, but it's how you respond to it that can change your life. We also talk about processing emotions and how they can pop up at the most random times. Another example of how cathartic comedy can be, and when done right, your entire career can change in a second. #arielelias #highnoon #beercan #jimmykimmel #stephencolbert #standup #heckler #chug #podcast #thefunnythingis

Comedian and podcaster, Tara Cannistraci, shares what happened when she experienced an ovary torsion, where her ovary literally flipped inside of her body causing tremendous pain and vomiting, and what led to her advocating for herself. We discuss how pain management, health and even fitness favor men and how little testing has been done on females. The funniest lesson she learned? To always wear a bra when the EMTs arrive and to never let anyone get your age wrong. Even if it's one year older. #womenshealth #ovary #ovarytorsion #ivf #advocate #thefunnythingis #uterus

Social media sensation and comedian, Kevin Sullivan, talks everything from astrology to sobriety and how Allen Carr's book changed his life. Watch two aquarians....aquariuses? Either way. Watch Nicole and Kevin deep dive into how alcohol isn't doing the trick anymore and how we're all just meat suits visiting this spinning planet. #kevinsullivan #astrology #aquarius #allencarr #sobriety #comedy #podcast #thefunnythingis

Pediatrician, Dr. Jessica Hochman, joins the podcast! We discuss how anxiety during the MCAT felt like a failure, but turned out being the best thing that could have happened to her. It lead her to a fuller life, broader experiences and eventually becoming an even better doctor. We both share how having firm plans in life can keep you from experiencing the greatest gifts and sometimes the universe needs to take the wheel for you. #pediatrician #mcat #medschool #biology #college courses #anxiety #podcast #thefunnythingis

Comedian and Podcaster, Eddie Pence, shares a few life lessons that range from bombing on stage to becoming a father. More importantly, we talk about the moment he learned his wife had multiple sclerosis and how they, as a couple, handle the ups and downs. This episode has a little bit of everything and apparently I need to get better at my pre-interview questions. Such as asking things like "what middle school did you go to?" Find out why on this weeks episode!#eddiepence #multiplesclerosis #immunotherapy #fatherhood #comedian #podcaster #thefunnythingis #inspiration

Comedian and writer, Mary Basmadjian, talks about the day her mother blocked her number and never looked back. We dive into child abandonment and how Mary became the ultimate care giver for her grandparents until they both passed. This trauma lead to shame, grief and an eating disorder. But it also lead to a one woman show called "Mom, Are You There? Becoming The Mother That I Always Deserved" which served as both entertainment and therapy. The story is gut wrenching, but as always, guests bring the light side and humor to even the darkest situations. #childabandonment #maternalabandonment #comedian #eatingdisorder #shame #storyteller #therapy #inspiration #podcast #thefunnythingis
