He Faked WHAT to get Bathed by Three Nurses?! 😳 ~ Dimples & The Beard | Ep. 277
Jun 100:53:21Tap to summarizeA man pretended to have Down syndrome so he could get three nurses to bathe him. That's not a joke, that's an actual story we came across — and it immediately turned into one of the most ridiculous debates we've ever had. Was it wrong? Was it diabolical? Was it somehow genius? We honestly couldn't agree.From there, the conversation goes completely off the rails. We get into the world's most questionable pickup strategy, debate whether orcas are secretly running the planet, talk Dave Matthews, Keanu Reeves, the Home Alone house, and a bunch of other topics that probably shouldn't be connected in the same episode. If you like chaotic conversations, terrible ideas, and two idiots overanalyzing things nobody should be overanalyzing, this one's for you.New episodes every Monday.

Bobby Lee Kisses, Pauly Shore Hugs and Don Barris Tickles ~ Dimples & The Beard | Ep. 276
May 2500:56:24Tap to summarizeBobby Lee kisses. Pauly Shore hugs. Don Barris tickles. Somehow that was only PART of our trip to The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. We spent three straight nights inside one of the most legendary comedy clubs in the world — watching comics like Bobby Lee, Ali Wong, Don Barris, Jeff Ross, Pauly Shore, Howie Mandel, David Spade, Dane Cook and more absolutely destroy on stage while we somehow kept getting pulled deeper into the chaos ourselves. From celebrity encounters and Comedy Store insanity to drunk late-night podcasting and complete chaos, this trip turned into one of the wildest experiences we’ve ever had.We also talk about watching comedians build material in real time, why Don Barris became one of our favorite parts of the trip, how Howie Mandel thought The Beard threw up during a set, and what happened after we got back to our hotel and tried recording a podcast at 4AM completely exhausted and over-served. If you love stand-up comedy, Comedy Store stories, comedy podcasts, and completely unfiltered conversations, this episode is for you.New episodes every Monday.

Midwest Meg Seems Wholesome… Until She Gets Comfortable | Ep. 275
May 1801:23:33Tap to summarizeMidwest Meg joins us for one of the most Wisconsin episodes we’ve ever done — and things go off the rails fast. What starts with Midwest accents, supper clubs, dive bars, cheese curds, and how she accidentally became one of the biggest Midwest content creators online slowly turns into drunk bar stories, dirty business names, social media chaos, and a story that completely destroys her wholesome image. We also dive into Wisconsin culture, Milwaukee nightlife, recording content in her car, going viral on TikTok and Instagram, and the surprising moment she ended up interviewing Hugh Jackman in Milwaukee.But underneath all the chaos, this episode also gets surprisingly real. Midwest Meg opens up about mental health, depression, dealing with hate comments online, and why she refuses to pretend life is perfect on social media. It’s funny, awkward, ridiculously Midwest, and somehow weirdly heartfelt all at the same time.New episodes every Monday.

4 A.M. Trauma Bonding with Comedians Josh Potter & Nelya Linnik | Ep. 274
May 1001:25:38Tap to summarizeAfter hanging out at The Comedy Store all night and waiting out a police standoff at our hotel until nearly 4 a.m., we somehow ended up back in our room with comedians Josh Potter and Nelya Linnik recording one of the most chaotic episodes of Cocktails with Dimples & The Beard we’ve ever done. Running on almost no sleep, the conversation immediately spirals into trauma bonding, growing up in Ukraine, moving to America, Comedy Store stories, weed tests, Glenn Campbell, Alzheimer’s, cremation, onion farms, Boy George, and the ongoing debate over whether “brick” means penis.The production quality may not be up to our normal standards — we accidentally forgot to turn on the good mics — but there was no way we weren’t sharing this episode. It’s loud, messy, sleep-deprived, completely unfiltered, and honestly feels less like a podcast and more like sitting in a hotel room with a group of exhausted comics slowly losing their minds together. If you enjoy late-night comedy conversations, chaotic podcast energy, stand-up stories, and the kind of conversations that could only happen at 4 a.m. in Hollywood, this episode is absolutely for you.

She Went OFF on Scream 7… We Let Her Cook ~ Comedian Katie Hettenbach | Ep. 273
May 401:24:24Tap to summarizeThis week we’re joined by comedian and horror expert Katie Hettenbach, and yeah… she absolutely unloads on Scream 7. What starts as a simple question turns into a full breakdown of what went wrong — from pacing and missing story beats to why it doesn’t feel like a real Scream movie at all. We get into horror franchises, why some sequels hit and others completely fall apart, and how modern horror is evolving (or not).From there, it goes exactly where you’d expect with us — comedy store stories, bombing in LA vs Midwest crowds, watching movies high (including some truly questionable choices), Scooby-Doo nostalgia, and somehow claw machine strategy. It’s part horror deep dive, part chaos — mix comedians, strong opinions, zero structure, and a few cocktails — and see what happens. New episodes every Monday.

Join us as we discuss how she and her husband planted a church in San Diego, struggled to survive financially, and made a desperate decision that changed everything.

He Was Addicted to Hate -- and It Kept Escalating ~ Former Neo-Nazi Arno Michaelis | Ep. 268
Mar 3001:38:46Tap to summarizeHe wasn’t just angry—he was hooked. In this episode, we sit down with Arno Michaelis to break down how hate can function like an addiction, escalating from small acts of rebellion into something far more dangerous. What starts as bullying and shock-seeking quickly turns into a need for more intensity—more fear, more violence, more control—until it spirals into full-blown extremism. Arno shares how he went from a suburban kid with a stable upbringing into a neo-Nazi skinhead deeply embedded in the movement, forming a white power band, recruiting others, and living in a constant cycle of addiction, identity, and destruction. But what makes this story hit harder is what began to crack that worldview: moments of unexpected kindness from the very people he was taught to hate, forcing him to confront the hypocrisy and emotional exhaustion of the life he was living.Arno Michaelis is a former neo-Nazi skinhead turned author, speaker, and interventionist with Parents for Peace, a national nonprofit that helps families and individuals disengage from violent extremism. Drawing from his own past, he now works directly with people at risk of radicalization and supports families trying to pull loved ones out of hate-driven movements. He is the author of My Life After Hate and co-author of The Gift of Our Wounds, and has spent years speaking around the world about deradicalization, empathy, and the long road out of extremism.New episodes every Monday.
