This podcast contains explicit content | Download | Duration: 01:05:09

Happy first Wednesday of 2012!  Actually, we don't give a shit; it's just another Wednesday.  What an enthusiastic intro for a podcast, huh?

On today's S&M, we have part one of our two part interview with Troy Conrad to share with your eager ears.  You may not have yet heard of Troy if you're fairly new to the PHX comedy scene, but you're almost certainly hanging ten on waves he helped create here before moving to L.A. to train at UCB and Second City.  That training, melded with an entrepreneurial vision and distaste toward the idiot status quo, has led Troy to fearlessly create such acts as The Comedy Jesus Show, Angry Townhall, and his current pride & joy, an improvised stand-up show wildly popular among comics and international audiences, Set List: Comedy Without a Net.  So prolific is Troy that we had to break this interview into two separate podcasts to temper the avalanches of information that would otherwise snow-in your comedic brain.  Enjoy digging out like you've never enjoyed it before.

Upcoming shows for us:  Sanderson and Marek will be performing the all new material show at the Hidden House on 1/4.  Steve Marek will be performing at Copper Blues and Filmbar on 1/10, while Jamie Sanderson will be in Kansas City, hanging with his old, arthritic, Alzheimer's riddled mama.  Aaaawwww. 

Also, on January 29th the S&M guys will both be performing at the Comedy Spot in Scottsdale. Get advance tickets for the 9pm show at

This Thursday at Monkey Pants, a free special event with Tom Clark, as seen on Comedy Central's Premium Blend!  Tickets available at Ticketmaster, just click on the 'free special events at Pants for which you do not need tickets' tab at the top of the screen.
