Construction noise in the background, snacks on the table, and absolute chaos in the best way.

In this episode of Snackin' & Yakkin', BIG Ben Kennedy hangs with Red for a long, funny, very real conversation about karaoke nights, Charleston comedy, local fame, bad relationships, good storytelling, and the strange honor of being called someone's "ginger." It starts with chips and spirals into TikTok, stand-up, Bangkok Lounge, Wits End, Taylor Swift, blind comedians, sleeping audience members, and the kind of life story that makes the jokes hit even harder.

Red talks about being nominated for Best Local Female Vocalist, building a name around Charleston, working at Epic Game Show Experience, hosting karaoke, and finding her way back to comedy. Ben, naturally, adds snack diplomacy, weird side quests, and at least one sentence that probably got this episode demonetized.

If you like candid interviews, local Charleston talent, comedy stories, karaoke culture, and guests who can be hilarious and honest in the same breath, this one's for you.

Red Bull, gummy bears, Airheads, ice cream sandwiches, and one gloriously derailed conversation. Episode 47 of Snackin' & Yakkin' brings in Charleston comedian Noah Brockett for a funny, weird, and surprisingly honest sit-down with BIG Ben Kennedy.

This one starts chaotic and stays that way in the best possible sense. Noah talks about doing comedy as a blind comedian without making blindness the whole act, how his vision changed over time, and why he wants to be known for sharp jokes first. Then the conversation swerves, because of course it does, into Robin Williams, karaoke, Rubik's cubes, Japan, metal vocals, St. Patrick's Day, and the long route to Noah's very first real stand-up set.

There are a lot of laughs here, but there's also real insight. Noah shares the story of losing his vision, getting training at the Louisiana Center for the Blind, and finding his way into comedy through a mix of stubbornness, timing, and a vocal coach who gave him the push he needed. Later, he explains how Japan became a huge part of his comedy journey, all because the stars lined up at exactly the right moment.

Also, yes, the ice cream sandwiches actually show up.

A comedy talk that actually goes somewhere, and two comics swapping stories about stage life, day jobs, Disney, coaching, and why making people laugh still matters. Episode 46 with David Furr is funny, loose, and packed with the kind of conversation that feels like hanging out after a great set.

David Furr joins BIG Ben Kennedy for one of the wildest snack choices the show has seen so far, an Outback Steakhouse Bloomin' Onion and Cokes. From there, things take off fast. They talk about Charleston comedy, open mics, building jokes, rough crowds, good crowds, being a newer comic in your 30s, and the weird little moments that make performing worth it.

Along the way, this episode gets into:

* David's start in stand-up comedy

* Why local artists and comedians need more shine

* The difference between writing quick jokes and building longer bits

* Coaching, mentorship, and showing up for people

* Working at Disney, and why that did not mean dressing up as Mickey

* Taylor Swift, yes, really

* EMS stories, audience connection, and the art of reading a room

* One very committed defense of the Bloomin' Onion as a top-tier snack

If you like comedy podcasts, comedian interviews, behind-the-scenes talk about stand-up, and snack-based chaos, this one's for you.
