This episode was meant to post back on July 1st, but ::gestures to the world:: is happening. This also meant that I totally forgot I scheduled a post about leaving podcasting for today; feel free to give that a read too. After listening to this episode and reading that post (which I wrote about a month ago), I realize that the impression I give is "I'M OUT FOREVER, BABY!" and that simply is not the case. Everything is Awesome may be done-ish forever (save for panels and/or special interviews), but I've already begun pre-pre-production on another audio project. It's both smaller and larger in scope than this show but offers a way for me to come back to podcasting in the future without having to worry about scheduling (which is huge for me). I will likely wait until I'm in the right headspace to start publishing that project, but once Everything is Awesome has run its course, I should have a complete season of that project wrapped and ready for publication (save for intros/outros/midrolls/whatever I decide to do with that).

Writer, podcaster, beard icon, and friend to dog-kind, Jason Tabrys, joins us this week for one hell of a conversation. This is our first show recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic and, as such, the conversation weaves in out and of that subject. While on the topic, Jason and Kev chat about the importance of supporting local businesses, especially local comic book stores and game stores.

When trying to avoid the quarantine subject, many of a nerd subject comes up—the Everything is Awesome staples (Kevin Smith, Batman, and Kev crying during The Muppets)  are touched on while Jason lets us know what, aside from his loved ones, he would grab in the event of a fire. Jason is also starting a baseball podcast, he shares his love of comedy and late-night, as well as Hudson Hawk. Looking at the clock, Jason and Kev hold off on any Star Wars chatter for this conversation.

For more information about COVID-19, visit the CDC’s website or the website for your state’s Department of Health.

Well... 2019 was something, huh? I guess not much... we only posted a few episodes. It was a pretty great year when it comes to the non-podcasting / creative side of things (but, that allowed my mental health to heal). There were definitely some setbacks, but I let most of them only effect this show and my own personal output. In 2020, we'll be getting caught up by posting 2-3 episodes a week until June-ish. We'll also be getting After Party of One caught up in January of 2020 and back to it's normal monthly schedule by March.

The end of 2019 saw some sadness too—Chris Cotton, a Philadelphia based comedian, passed away. He is survived by family, including his wife and unborn child. If you'd like to donate to assist, you can do so on this official GoFundMe.

2018 was something, huh? I sit down with my frequent co-host on Live shows, the creator of Tellest, and my best friend, Mike DeAngelo, to talk about what we really liked about 2018 and what we're looking forward to in 2019.

So often it's me talking about or writing about pop-culture/covering conventions. When we put together a panel for Wizard World Philadelphia, the script was flipped and an article came across my desk that mentioned my podcast and the panel we ran! I was floored and instantly had to speak to the person who boosted my ego!

Maggie is a college student, currently studying abroad, who is a next-generation creator. Photography, writing, and radio DJ—most of which we barely touch on as we run through the pop-culture list! We chat conventions, Philly vs. Pittsburgh, and a challenge is issued.

As we start the trek towards our next 150 episodes, we sit down for a good ol' fashion long-form conversation with the designer of Star Crossed, Alex Roberts! We chat about old school radio and podcasting vs. the current podcasting methods and Alex gives me a brief history of Canada before we chat about her origin into podcasting and game design.

ABOUT STAR CROSSED

The excitement, tension, and heartbreak of romance! In Star Crossed, you'll craft characters who are powerfully attracted to each other but have a compelling reason not to act on their feelings. Some of the things you'll want your character to do are going to increase that attraction - and when that happens, you are going to pull a brick out from an increasingly shaky tower and place it on the top. If the tower falls, your characters act on their feelings! Will your love be doomed, triumphant, or something in-between? Find out at Star Crossed!

ABOUT ALEX ROBERTS

Alex Roberts is an explorer and reporter in the world of roleplaying games. She wants to bring meaningful experiences of play to the whole darn world.

One hundred and FIFTY episodes. That number will always be way more impressive to me than the 11.5 years I've been podcasting. Shout out to James D'Amato for asking me what I was planning on doing for 150—it got me thinking and I really liked playing Jeff Stormer's Mission: Accomplished! for episode 100, that I wanted to visit another tabletop role-playing game.

At PAX Unplugged 2018, in Philadelphia, I sat down with Ben Wallis from the Pod of Love podcast to play Alex Robert's Star Crossed. This game is not just crazy fun, it's incredibly beautiful. I don't know if it gets sillier than playing this game as Eddie Brock and Venom, but I'll be damned if it wasn't an incredible love story. Listen to see what happens with these crazy kids.

This was celebrated by horror fans as a "Falling Ovation". Aint It Cool News said "BITE is over the top gross and amazing to witness!". The film went on to hit the US with a nationwide limited theatrical release through the genre masters at Shout!

Kev takes a moment to reflect on Stan Lee—the modern-day Mark Twain that has touched nearly everyone's life.

ABOUT STAN LEE

Stan Lee was an American comic book writer, editor, and publisher who was active from the 1940s to the 2010s. He rose through the ranks of a family-run business to become Marvel Comics' primary creative leader for two decades, leading its expansion from a small division of a publishing house to a multimedia corporation that dominated the comics industry.

In collaboration with others at Marvel—particularly co-writer/artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko—he co-created numerous popular fictional characters, including superheroes Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and Ant-Man. In doing so, he pioneered a more naturalistic approach to writing superhero comics in the 1960s, and in the 1970s he challenged the restrictions of the Comics Code Authority, indirectly leading to changes in its policies. In the 1980s he pursued the development of Marvel properties in other media, with mixed results. Following his retirement from Marvel in the 1990s, he remained a public figurehead for the company and frequently made cameo appearances in films based on Marvel characters, on which he received an honorary "executive producer" credit. Meanwhile, he continued independent creative ventures into his 90s, until his death in 2018.

Lee was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1995. He received the NEA's National Medal of Arts in 2008.

Off the heels of our conversation on After Party of One, Jeff Stormer returns to Everything is Awesome! Before getting into his freshly funded Kickstarter game, Mission: Accomplished!, we chat about Jeff's first appearance (part 2 is here, his appearance on our second LATE NIGHT show is here, and when we played Mission: Accomplished! on Episode 100 is here) on the show; as well as the Philadelphia Podcast class of 2016. We get into some baby face vs. heel talk, and it wouldn't be complete with paying some respect to Campaign (the Star Wars run).
ABOUT JEFF STORMER
I’m Jeff Stormer. I’m a cog in a white-collar corporate machine by day, and tabletop podcaster and game designer by night. I host Party Of One, an actual play podcast focused on two-player roleplaying experiences, and co-host All My Fantasy Children, a collaborative character creation and worldbuilding podcast. I’m also the (un)official LARP designer of the Olive Garden restaurant, having written When You’re Here You’re Family, which uses Unlimited Soup, Salad, and Breadsticks as a resolution mechanic. Most importantly, I’ve been playing games for 20+ years, and have read… just, too many RPGs.
ABOUT PARTY OF ONE
Party of One is an Actual Play RPG podcast exploring the world of 2-player RPGs. Every week, GM Jeff Stormer sits down with a guest 1-on-1 and plays through a short, intense, exciting roleplaying game–both to showcase the wide world of games designed for two players, and to explore what happens when we play our favorite games with a party of one.
ABOUT MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED!
Mission: Accomplished! is an RPG of Super-spies and office meetings inspired by shows like Archer, The Venture Brothers, and Better Off Ted. You are a team of highly trained super-spies who spend every day saving the world, and no one is better than you. But that’s the easy part of the job…

Once the mission is over, it’s time to sit down with your friendly HR manager and hash things out as a team. Finger pointing, credit stealing, and unfounded accusations against your teammates are your weapons in the meeting room. Your job, no, your DUTY as a secret agent, is to get as much credit as possible for being the one that saved the day.

We bring improvisers, game designers, and other notable nerds together to record role playing sessions. Every month we feature a new game with a new cast of players.

ABOUT THE ULTIMATE RPG CHARACTER BACKSTORY GUIDE
You’ve chosen your class, bought your weapons, and rolled for your stats, and you’re now the proud owner of your own RPG (role-playing game) avatar. But before you begin your adventure, there’s so much more you can do with your character to make him or her your own! Just how evil is she? What does his dating profile look like? Where did she get that scar? What does he want for his birthday? With fill-in-the blank narratives, prompts, and fun activities to help you customize your character at the start of the game, or build out your backstory as you play, The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide will help you fully imagine your character and bring them to life for the ultimate gaming experience!

Mike DeAngelo, creator of Tellest, joins Kev once again to chat about the last day of ReedPOP's inaugural Keystone Comic Con in Philadelphia. At the convention, Kev had the opportunity to speak with Sandy King-Carptener, an award-winning producer, writer, editor, and CEO of John Carpenter's in-house comic line, Storm King Comics. They chat about horror, past and present; for adults and kids, Sandy's career, and of course what's happening at Storm King Comics!

She has produced films ranging from public service announcements on Hunger Awareness to a documentary on astronaut/teacher Christa McAuliffe, and major theatrical hits like John Carpenter’s Vampires. From working underwater with sharks in the Bahamas to converting 55 acres of New Mexican desert into the vast, red planet of Mars, new challenges interest and excite her.

ReedPOP, which also runs New York Comic Con, has come to Philadelphia with the inaugural Keystone Comic Con. While Kev wasn't able to perform at this convention, he was able to cover it as part of the press. Mike DeAngelo, creator of Tellest, joins Kev at the start to chat about the first day of the convention. At the convention, Kev had the opportunity to speak with Mega Ran, a nerdcore hip-hop artist originally from Philadelphia. They chat about Mega Ran's origins, video game and wrestling influences, and much more!
ABOUT MEGA RAN
Random, aka Mega Ran, aka RandomBeats... Teacher, Rapper, Hero. Guinness World Record Holder.

When LA Weekly said that Ran’s “fanbase and niche audiences are growing at a rate not seen since Tech N9ne,” they meant it. A former middle school teacher, Mega Ran (formerly Random) blends education, hip-hop and gaming in amazing new ways, penetrating the farthest reaches of the galaxy with his unique rhyme style and electric performances.

Ran cut his teeth in the city of Philadelphia as a moonlighting emcee and producer, performing, freestyle rapping, producing and later engineering at a studio. After relocating to Phoenix, competing in the Scribble Jam emcee battle championships and taking an early exit, Ran almost quit before he was even started, when a creative lightning bolt struck, and a fire was lit.

Various video game developer co-signs and admiration from the genre’s toughest critics have led to placements in TV, movies, university coursework, and of course, games. Ran’s music and story have been shared on stages across the world, on television (ABC/NBC News, ESPN, Portlandia, Tosh.O, WWE Wrestling) and in leading music, gaming and tech publications, print and online.

Today, Mega Ran is no longer a teacher by title, but maintains a rigorous touring and recording schedule, traveling the world to entertain and educate through the gift of rhyme. With four Billboard charting albums, 3 million YouTube views and a legion of smart art fans he calls “Team Mega” beside him, the future looks brighter than ever.

Roshni is an India-based fitness instructor that has a plant based diet. After briefly talking about travel and her time in America, we focus on the unique fitness she teaches in India, her plant based diet (and how that is different than being vegan), and diets vs. life style changes.
ABOUT ROSHNI SANGHVI
Roshni's success story is a journey of an unlikely transformation. Fitness did not come to her naturally. In spite of the fact that her family is in the fitness industry, she had no intention to understand the fitness business. Being fit and maintaining fitness was the last agenda of Roshni's life. Her genetic makeup is neither the best for getting a six-pack, nor was she an athlete growing up. Like many people, she got carried away living the urban lifestyle and packed on a few extra kilos. Roshni was unhappy about being out of shape; she dreaded the idea of trying new clothes and finding nothing fits.

Kenzie Bond, author of The 90 Day House, joins Kev to talk about real estate, travel, Texas, Philly, amusement parks, and more!
ABOUT KENZIE BOND
A passionate reader, writer, traveler and rescuer of dogs, Kenzie can most often be found hiking in the wilderness with her German Shepherd Layla, or in between the pages of a book. As a native Texan, Kenzie has seen the real estate market fluctuate, swinging wildly between a buyers market and sellers market - and everywhere in between! Being able to successfully navigate both the real estate and lending market during these times, Kenzie felt it was her duty to share her knowledge and steps to success with as many people as possible - hence The 90 Day House was born!
ABOUT 'THE 90 DAY HOUSE'
As a serial home buyer, buying her first home at the height of the 2008 real estate crash with NO MONEY DOWN, Kenzie knew the secrets of the credit and mortgage lending industry, and have compiled all of her experience and knowledge into a step-by-step, easy to follow system with proven results!

Why trust Kenzie? Finding herself in a dire situation a decade ago, she needed to buy her first home quickly - and with as little out of pocket as possible. Luckily, Kenzie had spent countless hours researching credit repair methods and mortgage programs online for almost a year. As a result of this due diligence she was able to close on her first home 30 days after beginning the search, with zero money down - and a fantastic interest rate to boot!

Fast forward a decade and Kenzie has bought and sold several homes, each time in less than 90 days with absolutely no money down. Believing that home ownership is the most important feature of the "American Dream" she has compiled her extensive research and methods into this book - to help YOU become the next 90 day success story!

In addition to learning Kenzie's credit secrets and legitimate sources of down payment assistance programs, she provides you with up to date "Zero Down" mortgage products from reputable lenders across the nation. These are not the predatory lenders that caused the sub-prime mortgage crisis of the last decade - these are established, reputable banks and credit unions that are eager to get back into the competitive mortgage lending market.

Danniel Slade, founder of Temple of Geek, joins me on this week's episode! Aside from having the coolest last name ever, Danniel chats about how he started Temple of Geek and how he got into podcasting. We also discuss technology of yesteryear, James Gunn, Chris Hardwick, and more!
ABOUT DANNIEL SLADE
Slade started Temple of Geek in 2012 with his friend as a podcast. Since then, it has become a lot more. His obsessions are Transformers, Star Wars, Classic Video Games, Superheroes, and comedies. Slade's life was turned to the Darkside when his father gave him a gift in 1985. He was presented with the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron. Since then, Slade has become a collector of the robots in disguise. The only other thing that comes close to Slade's love of Transformers is Star Wars. He has met a few of the cast over the years. Slade's one goal in life is to meet with George Lucas and just discuss movies with him.
ABOUT TEMPLE OF GEEK
Founded in March 2012, Temple of Geek was a place where friends could come and talk about the things they enjoyed most. After a few trial episodes about The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises, life took over and the Temple had all but been forgotten. Finally, after a year and the addition of new members, ToG returned better than ever! We talk about Comics, Movies, TV, Video Games, and more! There's something for everyone here at The Temple of Geek!

Xennial meets Gen Z on the newest episode of Everything is Awedome. Up and coming singer, songwriter, model, and actress—Jenelle Nucum—sits down with Kev to talk about her new hit single, Pages (now available on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, and most music services). Kev also tries to figure out what the kids consider hip in 2018.
ABOUT JENELLE NUCUM
Fifteen-year old Singer, Songwriter, Musician, Actress and Model, Janelle Nucum, began her passion for music at the age of two, then started performing on stage professionally at the age of eight.

Her devotion to music derived from the influence of her family loving music and grew stronger as she got older. So strong that she couldn’t imagine life without it.

As her stage time grew more frequent, she began expanding her presence in other areas of the entertainment world through theater and live productions, modeling and commercial print ads. During the process, she managed to land a lead role in a short film and various TV commercials.

She dedicated over five years of training in both singing and acting to enhance her skill and talent all the while attending various workshops to increase her knowledge and experience overall. In addition to her efforts to further her career, she joined a national singing and acting competition and won both a placement as a Junior Commercial Print Model and Junior Singer of the Year.

Soon after, she signed independently to a record label, Storm Central, LLC who offered her global distribution via Ingrooves Music Group/Universal Music Group Distribution.

Note: This episode was recorded and originally published PRIOR to the allegations against Mike Quackenbush and Chikara. We will soon be modifying this episode to tackle the subject of harassment, but Everything is Awesome (and more importantly I, Kevin M. Gallagher, Jr) believe the victims.

Joining Kev today is the co-founder and owner of Chikara Pro Wrestling, Mike Quackenbush! The two briefly talk about their connection in 'Reckless Youth' Tom Carter before taking a deep dive into Chikara. Kev also presses into the history of Mike and writing several books (including his new one). Don't worry, there is also plenty of side conversation about comic books!

ABOUT MIKE QUAKENBUSH Mike Quackenbush has a closet full of sparkly pants.

…this is because he spent a number of years in the squared circle, performing in thousands of matches, and entertaining fans all over the globe. Along the way, he earned nicknames like “Lightning,” the “Ring Wizard,” and ultimately, “The Master of a Thousand Holds,” before retiring from the ring in 2013.

Since 1994, he’s explored every avenue and aspect of the game. He’s authored books, written hundreds of articles for Pro Wrestling Illustrated, The Wrestler, Inside Wrestling and more; pioneered the use of video podcasting within the art form, and founded his own organization (CHIKARA) and training center (The Wrestle Factory). With all the downtime that leaves him, he teaches pro-wrestling multiple times a week, including traveling the planet to deliver his intensive performance seminars to organizations big and small; writes and produces live events, manages a touring ensemble, drinks too much coffee, and even accepts public speaking engagements. So, kids, that’s what “retirement” looks like.

Among his strangest endeavors were a year-long trans-media and viral marketing experiment of his own design and execution, that yielded both a city-wide scavenger hunt and the red carpet premiere of the feature-length film, The Ashes of CHIKARA. While “The Master of a Thousand Holds” is no longer an active grappler, he remains the patriarch of the entire CHIKARA family, the head trainer of the Wrestle Factory, and is relentlessly pushing the pro-wrestling artform forward. He resides in Collegeville, PA where it should be noted, he keeps all his sparkly pants.

ABOUT CHIKARA PRO WRESTLING

CHIKARA: We believe pro-wrestling should be fun! That's why we make it for everyone!

And now comes the official end to our 2018 Philadelphia Podcast Festival celebration. We end with out LIVE episode of Everything is Awesome: Late Night where Kev brings Mike DeAngelo on as his co-host. In this version of the live show, we take our stab at the late night television format. The game Food Fright is debuted—a series of food challenges that audience members and the hosts partake in (spoilers, the audience ALWAYS wins a prize). Thanks to Tattooed Mom and Mind Escape for sponsoring two of our four prizes and congrats to all the winners.

We chat with Jacqueline Holloway, a stunt worker and fight choreographer, about her work and the differences between wrestling and tv/film/stage work. We're also joined by Philadelphia comedian, Kyle Harris, who chats about his origins in comedy (but not before giving us a fun sampling of his work)!
