Jonah Lewis is a stand-up (or "sit-down") comedian that suffers from Cerebral Palsy who uses his gift to help people gain a little bit of perspective on how he lives his life.  He stops by the podcast to teach us that no one "classes" out of Waffle House.  We talk "sexy" Casper, sports old white people play, and the erotica game. McNeil gets picked on for his unwavering self-confidence and Andrew continues to make his "Andrew" jokes.  

On March 24th, 2018 the "Humor In Mistakes Podcast" was born. 16 pound' 12 ounces'.

Well today is it's 2nd birthday and we couldn't be happier.  When the podcast was born, doctors told us that most podcasts don't make it to see their 1st, let alone, 2nd birthday.  

Well we proved that doctor wrong! We would say f**k doctors but right now, they are in crisis mode dealing with corona virus so we forgive them!

Side note  *Stay safe out there lil mistakers*

For this episode we gathered some of our favorite moments from the past!  We hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening to the podcast for the last two years!  We really appreciate you!

Anoo Tree Brod is here!  And between her, McNeil, and Andrew there will be one winner of the "Fewest Mistakes Made During the Recording of the Podcast" contest.  Who do you think will win?

In this episode, Andrew gets the gold star he always wanted, McNeil becomes the president in a parallel universe, and Anoo sees a spark of light shoot from her eyes!  Trust the person writing this description... you don't want to miss this episode.

Rebecca Fox is here to teach McNeil and Andrew about not just accepting anyone as their friend.  So what they do cartwheels, beat up bad guys, or get to the center of a tootsie pop with one lick. Are they there in your time of need? We all need to make sure the people who surround us have our best interests in mind.

Rebecca also promotes her comedy sketch show "What If I'm The Becky?" that she created with her partner Rebecca Fox! You can get tickets here:

Rebecca Fox is a bilingual Speech Language Pathologist and teacher in NC, working with the school aged population, age 3 through 21 years old. She has also worked as a performer, writer, and teaching artist in Chicago.

While studying theater at Northwestern University, Rebecca took classes and improvised on teams at iO Chicago. Later she performed around the United States with Second City Works. She also wrote, produced, and performed shows with 3-woman improv and sketch group Triplette. Among others, Rebecca has performed at Chicago SketchFest, Chicago Improv Fest, San Francisco Sketchfest, Sketchfest NYC and on a tour of colleges. Then she was like, "wait, what's it all for?" She quit show business, got her M.Ed in Bilingual Elementary Education, and moved back to her beautiful, complex home state of North Carolina.

While working as a public school teacher in NC, Rebecca started acting again to support her teaching career! It was funny, but it was also sad, and it figured prominently in to her decision to become an SLP, which she highly recommends as a career path for anyone curious. There are so many possibilities! Now she is thrilled to be creating with delightful people once again on The Rebecca Show.

Rebecca is a graduate of the (University of) North Carolina School of the Arts, Northwestern University, University of Illinois Chicago, and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Comedian Mike Horn is our guest this week!  We've all gotten into it with our parents but Mike's story probably beats yours. 

Donovan McNeil, Andrew Gleason and Mike talk about shitty parents and what not to say to your kids.  Since none of us have kids...that we know of, our advice is probably spot on.

Mike Horn talks about struggling with his self image.  Growing up he had an abusive stepmom who would always insult his weight.  He talks about how he uses over-eating as a coping mechanism when hes stressed. 

The lesson of this episode is to accept the reality of a situation whether good or bad.  Because being honest with yourself allows you to fix whatever is wrong.  

Our guest for episode 63 of the Humor In Mistakes Podcast is fellow comedian Khari Reid, who used to walk around with anger that could rival the Incredible Hulk!  Khari even got mad and tried to fight a random guy on the street who said he looked like Lil John.  

One. This was during the reign of the Chappelle Show!

Two. Khari had dreads! ( hmmm....I wonder if Khari was wearing shades that day?)

The theme of this episode is learning to focus on the things we can control. With the sudden and unexpected death of his fiance, Khari used anger and drugs as a coping mechanism.  However, during a fit of road rage, Khari was able to realize that he like who he was becoming and it was up to him to make positive changes in his life.  

We hope you enjoy the episode Lil' Mistakers!

Our latest guest, lifestyle blogger Aly, joins the podcast to discuss why everyone should go to therapy. She also talks about the consequences of growing up trying to be perfect.  However, McNeil and Andrew can't relate because they were slackers growing up.  Nonetheless, you have to listen to this podcast to find out:

1) What dish does Aly cook best? 

2) Will Andrew ever get a high five from a guest?

3) Why is McNeil mad at his friends for having kids without consulting him?

4) How does one become a YELP elite? And get to walk in restaurants in a tux with shades, a crown and a pimp cane pretending you're better than everyone else!!?!!?!!
