·1 hr 35 min·5 clips
Cash says he always brings out one Christmas-season bit and calls it “the first jokes I wrote.”
1. Move the Mic Stand: A Comedy Podcast centers on a Christmas Day conversation between Cash Money Carl and Dean Berg. 2. Cash Money Carl hosts with Dean Berg, and both matter because they trade setups, punchlines, and comic bit-writing advice. 3. The episode’s core hook is a holiday hangout that mixes sponsor reads, comedy process, and family gift-exchange stories. 4. The opening sponsor read names MinigolfReviews.com, which posts a new mini golf hole every day and is building the National Archive of Minigolf. 5. A second sponsor segment for Gorilla Mind mentions nootropics, pre-workouts, supplements, and the code “code 20” for checkout. 6. Cash describes Gorilla Mind flavors including White Frost, White Gummy Bear, blackberry lemonade, orange grape, and tiger’s blood. 7. The hosts then drift into soda talk, including Mountain Dew White Out, Squirt, 50-50, and Fago. 8. Dean brings up Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, and Cash talks about seeing them on TikTok without makeup. 9. The conversation moves to Sting, Kiss, and Marshmello, with Cash comparing stage makeup and helmet reveals. 10. Cash and Dean then pivot into a joke about 3I/ATLAS passing close to Earth and causing strange timing with an ear-popping moment. 11. Cash says he is allergic to blueberries, and Dean repeats that the show talks about it “every single episode.” 12. Cash says he had double sets of wisdom teeth, and a dentist had to remove them in phases. 13. He says the lower teeth were impacted enough that part of his jaw was cut out, leaving a hole that still catches food. 14. Cash also repeats a family rumor that he may have absorbed a twin, and the two of them joke about whether the twin would have been Debra. 15. He says relatives told him wild stories, including one claim that an older sister was really his mother. 16. Cash shares a childhood memory of a cousin explaining a yeast infection in a brutal way while they were fishing off a dock. 17. The hosts then talk about seasonal comedy bits, and Cash says he keeps one Christmas-season joke that he always brings back. 18. Dean says he writes seasonal material tied to weather and timing, while Cash says he keeps a list so he can remember when to use each bit. 19. Listeners who enjoy comedy about holiday bits, family weirdness, and onstage writing will like this episode. 20. Listeners who want a tight interview or one focused topic may skip it.
