Advertise on podcast: Comedy Is Lighthearted & Carefree

The "artform" of comedy gets exposed on this one. Julian and Mike truly become the two failed funny guys they're accused of being. Haters get got!! Listen as each and every former comedian roommate from the famed Maujer House gets dismantled just like the patriarchy will be one day with God's help.  Pray. The boys also needlessly attack their more successful "friends" for doing late night sets and thinking it's cool.  In their words "Bro, quit comedy and move to Broad Channel. It's not that bad.....just give up on your silly dreams and enjoy some Springsteen by the bay"     Email us  - [email protected]    

Chris Cheney, the graphics wizard, joins the boys down by the east river.  Julian gets embarrassed because he thinks people are listening to him talk. Specifically a family of Hasidic Jews. Mike tells a boring ass story about being stuck on the Williamsburg bridge. Annnd we review the HBO Documentary: Woodstock 99. Which Mike was apparently at because he is old.  Chris Cheney Links https://instagram.com/notthatcheney www.notthatcheney.com

This one might be the realest yet. Don't click on it if you can't handle hard truths from three, that's right THREE failures. The premise generator himself aka Marcus Meehan gets in the mid-size suv and has at it. This young boy tells us how to gain a huge traction on tik tok, dating while never drinking, and what it's like to be eternally confident.  Marcus social https://instagram.com/marcus.meehan tiktok.com/@marcusisntfunny

This week the boys are by the Hudson River in upstate New York. In a little town called Troy. The home of Uncle Sam and possibly the birthplace of a new name for the podcast? Joined by the confident and funny Terrence Green the lads beg for his blessing. Will he give it to them or will he deem them forever offensive and to wallow by bodies of water for the rest of their days?

Back at their favorite body of water - Jamaica Bay in Broad Channel - we find our two heroes pontificating on hidden racism, the Irish, and immoral sexual fetishes. Also, the streets are talking and Julian and Mike are listening. The haters are out here. Can our two brave souls thwart them off? Or will them succumb to the negativity and retreat back out of the lime light? Only time will tell.... Again, the title is being revised as we speak. Look for an update soon A special thanks to Thompsons Tea for sponsoring this episode.  Twitter: twitter.com/PunjanaTea Reach out to CIG podcast at Mike's instagram: instagram.com/mikegmclaughlin

Happy 4th of July Heroes! Some are saying this is our best episode yet. Possibly because the CIG podcast had its first guest ever - Wild funny man Justin Lanza instagram.com/lanzabeforetime. Listen in as Mike struggles with his self-esteem, Julian picks up the pieces, and Justin goes in on NYC comedy culture. We come to the realization that we all are what we hate....at least a little.

This week Julian and Mike find themselves staring at another body of water. They broadcast from Asbury Park, NJ the epicenter of "Boss" country... aka The Shore.  Still struggling with the guilt and shame for being the creators of this distasteful podcast they steer the ship forward and tackle the big issues: 1970's westerns, Julian's drinking at children's bday parties, and Mike's sensitivity to "Old man" jokes. 

Julian and Mike broadcast from one of Broad Channels most popular destinations: a parking lot overlooking a body of water. Join them as they discuss their run-ins with New York Police, changing the title of the podcast, and realizing that Comedy may in fact NOT be gay.    If you have an suggestions for a better title to this podcast please bombard Mike's Instagram account  https://www.instagram.com/mikegmclaughlin    

Over 3 years in the making and the world finally gets what it has been asking for...a second episode of Comedy is Gay. And don't worry there are more to come.  In this episode the guys chat about their dying dreams, moving on, and hating Covid. Also, a review of episode 1 and how "urban" their accents are. **Disclaimer** Hi, Mike and Julian here. We know the title is going to be offensive to some people. We get it. We're offended too. We want to change the title but we can't think of anything better. Probably our lack of imagination. We apologize to everyone who listens. And we love you.     

The pilot episode of C.I.G. Recorded sometime in the summer of 2017 we believe. Julian G had just released a controversial press release announcing his retirement from stand-up comedy via his heavily trafficked personal FB page. Mike, always a cynic and suffering from the common comic delusion where one believes they are better than they actually are sits down with Julian to discuss their comedy pursuits or lack there of. Instead of looking inward and reflecting on their short comings they look outward and accuse the entire comedy scene of being Gay. Hence the title of the podcast. Enjoy! **Disclaimer** Hi, Mike and Julian here. We know the title is going to be offensive to some people. We get it. We're offended too. We want to change the title but we can't think of anything better. Probably our lack of imagination. We apologize to everyone who listens. And we love you.
