The Town Show

Our beloved Maddy Kelly (Let’s Make a Rom-Com) joined us live on stage at On-Air Fest 2026 in Brooklyn, New York. Against all weather odds we made this show happen and Maddy came on to talk about growing up in a suburb overrun with horses, she intentionally tries to doxx herself on stage, and we get really hung up on the word "fealty". Maddy also builds a really cool music store in town called "Clarna’s" that sells tacos, has a podcast studio and you can sign out musical instruments from. "Cool" is a relative term.

Thanks to On-Air Fest for having at this year's festival. Check out all of their shows at: https://www.onairpresents.com/

Stand-up comedian Mark Little (Gary and His Demons) joins Ryan and Mark to talk about his life as a stand-up in New York City, having to work his material into 3 minute sets, and where he gets his groceries and coffee (i know this doesn’t sound funny but it is so god damn funny).

He builds a bone broth cafe in our town called O Broth-er We’re Out There. We also visit McDonkey’s Hee Haw Night - a stand up comedy night at The Town Library and we hear about a pretty sweet Boy Genius concert where Lily Tomlin is the opener.

Director and host of the new podcast Jacob Reed & Me, Jacob Reed drops by the show to talk about growing up in San Diego. He talks about the legendary San Diego Chicken man, he talks about how his brother’s friend has Tony Gwynn’s bed, and he perfectly recounts the script from a phone sex line he called in high school. And he tells us all about his new pod (which Chris produced)

In our town he creates the first public transit system, and he finds a way to make the San Diego Chicken Man part of our municipal government.
