TORI & ROBERT - Tori and Robert are students of improvisation and magic, and today they are seated at the kids' table with our regular JESTIES goofballs, to discuss a life built on illusion and adaptation. They bring some wacky true tales of unforgettable magical experiences and tough crowds at their shows.

    • First, they need us to explain what to expect on this podcast (hint: it involves Cleveland, and not the city).
    • Next, we get to hear stories of their magical partnership and marriage.
    • Of course, there's always input from the Jesties, who can relate to wacky audiences
    • Christopher Walken-here, has a say
    • What are those audience hecklers all about?
    • Stand-up experiences
    • Cleveland drops in for a bit, to make sure Alex isn't upset with him.
    • Kids in a family really want to see a magic show, but their Paw won't let them.
    • JEST IMPROV'S upcoming shows
    • Hear about Tori and Robert's podcast (The Jesties guested on it, once -- for the sake of cross pollination)

TORI & ROBERT - Tori and Robert are students of improvisation and magic, and today they are seated at the kids' table with our regular JESTIES goofballs, to discuss a life built on illusion and adaptation. They bring some wacky true tales of unforgettable magical experiences and tough crowds at their shows.

    • First, they need us to explain what to expect on this podcast (hint: it involves Cleveland, and not the city).
    • Next, we get to hear stories of their magical partnership and marriage.
    • Of course, there's always input from the Jesties, who can relate to wacky audiences
    • Christopher Walken-here, has a say
    • What are those audience hecklers all about?
    • Stand-up experiences
    • Cleveland drops in for a bit, to make sure Alex isn't upset with him.
    • Kids in a family really want to see a magic show, but their Paw won't let them.
    • JEST IMPROV'S upcoming shows
    • Hear about Tori and Robert's podcast (The Jesties guested on it, once -- for the sake of cross pollination)
      • THANK YOU FOR LISTENING - PLEASE Like and Subscribe.

    Then, after the open, Aries takes his power and tries to control the convo. Starting with a guesstimate of all our ages, and a polite dance around the subject, we explore. That leads to...

    • Car dealership run by gnomes. The salesperson ceremoniously follows their religion when selling.
    • Aries tries to take things from various locations to use at home, and is surprised to learn people don't live where they work .-- then meets people who create their own schools so they can have more control.
    • Aries is apparently the straight half of a 2-person comedy duo, with "Escalante." 
    • Are there layers of straightness? Apparently it has something to do with rapping burritos and eating onions.
    • Ballsy Bob, that guy at the circus who can guess very personal details about the patrons.
    • Fun Table talk tangents about random topics.

    At some point - Tron brings up The Economist, and that spurs a scenario about optimal age-gaps in couples. "He's the same age as my Grandpa."

    Then - The Jesties play each other once again, on a busy street corner. "Hey, come here, I'm rollin' a big one."

    So - Chris starts a school of humor, where un-funny people can un-learn their bad comedy habits and learn new joke skills.

    New and Good - The group shares random facts about themselves which turn into improvised scenarios of absurdity.

    Locker Room Talk - Alex and Tron both relate weird locker room behavior they've witnessed.

    Finally - Enjoy the pilot episode of, "Alex Sattler, Shower Police," where Alex tries to figure out what's going on in those stalls.
