    Ol' Dirty AWS
    2025/10/27
    This week on Zoning Out, we open with laughs and life updates — from Instagram milestones to failed juggling goals. We also explore the massive AWS outage that briefly broke the internet and debate whether the world needs an “offline holiday.” Later, we get personal about sacrifices for stand-up comedy, missing once-in-a-lifetime concerts for club gigs, and drawing the line between passion and overwork. We close the episode reflecting on the passing of R&B icon D’Angelo, the legend behind Voodoo and Brown Sugar — and whether genius justifies being impossible to work with. Plus: The wild story of ODB and Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” remix The sudden closure of the Cherokee Comedy Zone The myth of cancel culture in entertainment A candid look at comedy club dynamics and “hobbyist” comics How smartphones destroyed our ability to read And a hilarious tangent about Cinemax, VHS tapes, and awkward teenage memories Subscribe & mash that like button for more comedy, chaos, and culture every week.

    WOOD You Rather
    2025/10/15
    This week’s Zoning Out is PACKED. Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, Jason Allen King, and special guest Hillary Staple dive deep into pop culture chaos, ethical dilemmas, and comedy community drama—with plenty of laughs in between. Topics we cover: Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl album — our honest review, spicy lyrics (“his love was the key…”), and why Taylor’s villain era might be her boldest yet. The “Black Phase” theory — why pop stars like Miley and Ariana get less pushback, and how Taylor’s image shift is playing differently. LeBron’s new Hennessy x DraftKings ad — is it the next “Decision”? Is this GOAT behavior, or just gross branding? The Saudi Arabia comedy festival — Would you take $15 million to perform there? We debate moral tradeoffs, freedom of speech, and whether everyone has a price. Weirdest movie titles ever — Quaxer Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx, Freddy Got Fingered, Hell House LLC, Origins: The Carmichael Manor, and more. Comedy vs. Improv crossover in Charlotte — why standups are joining improv troupes and the growing synergy on the scene. Plus: Justin Bieber vs Timberlake, John Mayer slander, the return of Reading Rainbow, the Bechdel Test, and a Would You Rather that turns existential. Special guest: Hillary Staple- Improv comic, reader, future bookstore owner (and maybe beekeeper?)—and the Swifty we needed to break this album down! Upcoming Stand-Up Shows: Oct 10 – Augusta, GA (Don’t Tell Comedy) Oct 11 Jambox in Charlotte, NC Oct 15 – Comedy Club at Duckworth’s (Shameless Society Improv) Oct 24 – Headlining Next Stop Comedy in Sanford, NC Nov 14 – Laugh at Lenny, Charlotte Plus: Jordan, Jason & Jonathan’s Three’s Comedy Tour kicks off May 2025!

  • He's a Bad Bunny

    He's a Bad Bunny
    2025/10/10
    We’re back! Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, and Jason Allen King return with another chaotic, hilarious episode of Zoning Out presented by the Comedy Zone. This week we cover: Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show — why MAGA fans are furious, why the NFL wants to go international, and why the name “Bad Bunny” still cracks us up. AI Actress Tilly Norwood — should agents really be signing artificial performers? What does this mean for real actors, authenticity, and the future of comedy? Lot Lizards & Dusty Gas Stations — an off‑the‑rails discussion about truck stops, empathy for objects, and the weirdest flowchart you’ve ever heard. South Park’s latest viral episode — betting on Gaza hospitals, Trump & Satan, and why the show is still undefeated at trolling. Adolescence (TV series) — why this powerful drama about kids, emojis, and hidden languages is some of the best acting we’ve ever seen. Would You Rather: Right‑to‑Die Edition — an unexpectedly serious debate about dignity, religion, and dying on your own terms. Plus: AI in Hollywood, empathy vs. compassion, Kid Rock nostalgia, and why white hearts in texts make us nervous.

  • Road Trip Part 3

    Road Trip Part 3
    2025/09/11
    In this episode of Zoning Out, Jordan Centry and Jonathan Williams hit the road for another road trip edition of the podcast. Jason Allen will join later, but for now it’s just Jordan and Jonathan driving up to Williamsburg, VA for the Three’s Comedy Tour. They break down what makes Williamsburg a better comedy stop than Sperryville (yes, phone signal and traffic lights do matter), share behind-the-scenes updates about their sold-out shows, and swap stories about weird venues, historic towns, and performing in breweries vs. distilleries. Along the way, the conversation veers into: • The excitement (and pressure) of back-to-back sold-out shows • Why Williamsburg is “Berg Don’t Crack” compared to other old towns • Running vs. lifting: which one actually makes you feel accomplished • McDonald’s three times in one day (should they actually do it?) • Gym fashion etiquette—functional vs. flashy fits • A headband debate: practical tool or fashion faux pas? • Road trip frustrations and the mystery of pointless traffic jams • Hilarious “Would You Rather” games, including the nightmare of looking or sounding like Jar Jar Binks • What would be worse: everyone seeing your past or future browser history? It’s part comedy, part road trip diary, and part thought experiment—with plenty of laughs and some surprisingly deep takes in between.
