Zach sits down with an old friend — Sausha Durkan, director of Hurrdat Sports, Hale Varsity and NEB Preps — for a conversation that covers a lot of ground and almost none of it sports. They get into how Sausha landed in sports media after shadowing nuclear medicine and deciding it was boring, her allegiances to the Patriots and Penguins, and what she'd do if Omaha ever got a pro team (the Gummy Bears are on the table). From there, things go sideways in the best way: Are birds spies? Should people need a license to use the internet? What's the best driving album of all time, and why can't Zach remember the name of the one he actually wants to talk about? They also weigh in on Rob Gronkowski's acting range, Rage Against the Machine fans who missed the point entirely, and why everyone online is basically 12 years old. Pull up a bucket.

This episode brings producer Joslyne into the hot seat for a conversation that covers heroes, haunted door latches and the ethics of checking out from the news entirely.

Joslyne reveals she's too scared of the dark to finish her Wicca initiation. Zach lands somewhere between reframing his comedy goals and seriously considering a move to the middle of nowhere. Also: the Amish are selfish, ghosts probably aren't mad about candle scent, and someone should really start a Patreon.

On this episode of Stop It With Zach Peterson, Omaha comedian and improv teacher Karl sits down to talk about what it actually takes to do improv well and all the terrible ideas improvisers have for shows they'll probably never do. Karl shares his philosophy on building a scene from a single suggestion (shoes, in this case), why checking in is both the worst and best thing you can do onstage, and what a Gremlins 2 character modeled after him would look like in disturbing detail. The conversation also drifts into swimming as an Ozempic alternative, the Manosphere, AM radio ghosts, and the Onion buying Infowars. It closes on a genuinely thoughtful note: what does love look like when no one's watching? Karl's got a real answer — and then immediately ruins it. Catch Karl at King Louie shows at the Backline (first Fridays, 9:30 p.m.) and the Ware House (third Fridays, 7 p.m.).
