On this episode, we’re joined by Bay Area comedy magician Sean Francisco, who blends stand-up energy with mind-bending tricks. Sean talks about how he got started in magic, how he builds and tailors a show, and then absolutely wows us with a few live tricks (including the best thing we’ve ever seen pulled out of a hat).

On this episode we talk with the hilarious and ever enjoyable Colleen Breen, founder and operator of Oakland's top Improv Comedy theater, All Out Comedy. We talk about Colleen's journey to creating Oakland's biggest improv theater, her wild stories about what goes on inside and outside the theater, and why we think she should embrace the title of Comedy Mother (she disagrees). Also, a bunch of slightly inappropriate comedy banter ensues.

What does it take to be a Bay Area wrestler? Dylan and Johnny figure out while getting headlocked with Sam Khandaghabadi, better known by her wrestling persona DARK SHEIK. Sam is the owner and operator of the Bay Area's biggest and wildest wrestling org, Hoodslam (now SlamTown). Sam chats about why wrestling is the perfect live entertainment, how Dark Sheik got her origin, and how she stays healthy in a profession full of slams (hint, it involves raw meat).

Dylan and Johnny sit down with Jamie DeWolf, the larger-than-life emcee, filmmaker and creator behind The Ruckus Revival, a one-of-a-kind vaudeville-style variety show that's been running in the Bay for more than 25 years. If you've ever seen a wacky performance in the Bay, odds are good Jamie was the emcee. Watch now as Jamie dives DEEP into the art of commanding a crowd as an emcee, peels back the curtain on the operation and evolution of Ruckus, and spills the deets on his creative start (which involves pissing off both middle school teachers and Barnes & Noble open mic patrons).

Dylan and Johnny sit down with April Garro, also known by her alias Loony the Clown! We dive into April’s journey of discovering her clown, from scaring audiences in haunted houses to mastering the art of THE CACKLE. April also gives us the lowdown on her favorite moments working at Pirates of Emerson Haunted Theme Park, and teaches us about a whole new form of meditation called 'Laughter Yoga'. Scared of Loony the Clown? Don't be! They are fun and great with kids and only hold knives sometime and I promise that red splotch on their shirt isn't blood and did I tell you they are really fun I swear...

Dylan and Johnny sit down with Casey Tessier, a Bay Area tap dancer and award-winning percussionist, to explore the art, rhythm, and joy of tap. We've never seen anyone SO passionate about dance. Casey dives into the history of tap dance, breaks down different styles and techniques, and shares her creative approach to teaching that blends percussion, drumline, and even...math. Along the way, we get personal: from the importance of stretching (for all of us with weak ankles) to a close-up look at Casey’s gleaming tap shoes.

Dylan and Johnny sit down with Max Gerlock, lead guitarist, vocalist, and founder of Super Cassette. Since 2016, Super Cassette has been serving up irresistibly catchy indie-pop across the Bay, and if you haven’t tuned in yet, now’s the perfect time to catch the wave! In this banter-filled episode, Max pulls back the curtain on their creative process, which balances sharp analysis with raw introspection and a relentless chase for melody. We also dig into the video games that shaped their love of music, proving once again that geeks and nerds reign supreme. This time, with an indie rock star leading the charge. Huzzah!

On this episode of Bay Waves, Johnny and Dylan chat about the Labubu craze taking over the Bay Area, Dylan's fraught birthday plans at Great America, and the Dog Surfing Championship held in Pacifica. Raw opinions about the Labubus may rub some the wrong way, but just remember all trends go away sometime (we hope).
