  • Nobody Wants to be on the Podcast w/ Rob Conroy
    Mar 6 2026

    In this chaotic and hilarious Episode 72 of the Comedy Simp Podcast, Stephen Michael James and Rob Conroy are back at Simp Studios! 🎉🤪🤩 Stephen kicks things off with some classic comedy simp energy—complaining 😤 and getting emotional 😭 (lol) about how people promising to be on the podcast keep dropping out. 🙄🚪

    He also talks about three comedians who were supposed to join but had other plans. 🎤🚶‍♂️💨

    .

    Rob shares a funny and bizarre encounter he had with a homeless guy 🚶‍♂️😂🧢.

Stephen chats about hosting the Tacoma Comedy Club open mic 🎙️🔥 and crushing an awesome set at Emerald City Comedy Club 💥😎.

    .

    Midway, ChatGPT does some AI research on Rob’s comedy career 🤖📊💻—leading to a hilarious list of movie and TV reboots starring the guys, local comedians, and famous actors 🎬🌟😂. The chaos continues with a phone call from “RON, Just RON,” a friend of Rob’s 📞🤣🤪. Stephen wraps up the AI segment by imagining a fantasy season of a fake TV show about local comic Noah “Dino Dad” Rubin 🦖📺—a wild mashup of Louie and Curb Your Enthusiasm vibes.

    .

    Finally, Stephen throws in a classic “age of question”: “Is Tony Hinchcliffe gay?” ❓🏳️‍🌈🔥—which sparks another round of laughs, chaos, and questions! 😂🔥🤯
