  #74 - Stephanie Ann talks weight loss, sobriety, and Detroit comedy

  Aug 18, 20263h 48m

  On episode 74 of Good Times, Noodle Salad , Matt and Paige sit down with comedian Stephanie Ann for a conversation that goes just about everywhere. Stephanie shares the incredible story behind her massive weight loss, becoming a mom, finding comedy, getting sober, and rebuilding her life along the way. They also talk about navigating the Detroit comedy scene, comedy drama, Stephanie's Diva Cup stand-up improv competition, her growing social media following thanks to her Downriver and Michigan content, appearing on Kill Tony , GLP-1 medications, documentaries, and plenty of the kind of stories that somehow get more ridiculous the longer the conversation goes. It's a funny, honest, occasionally unhinged episode with one of the most interesting stories we've had on the show. Support the show

  Episode #73

  #73 - Willie Page talks Detroit stand-up, Canadian wildfires, and asthma

  Aug 10, 20262h 30m

  Willie Page joins Matt and Paige for one of the most unhinged episodes of Good Times, Noodle Salad yet. Willie talks about coming up in the Detroit comedy scene, his approach to storytelling, raising seven kids, and the wild life experiences that give him plenty of material on stage. The conversation gets real when Willie and Matt bond over growing up with asthma and dealing with the brutal effects of Canadian wildfire smoke on their lungs. They also swap stories about probation, DUIs, sobriety, and the absurd situations that can come with being on the wrong side of the law. From Willie's garbage truck accident and his pre-comedy career to Matt's ongoing weight-loss journey, Ozempic, and the disastrous attempt to dress like Jazzy Jeff at a 90s-themed party, absolutely nothing stays on topic for long. It's Detroit comedy, ridiculous true stories, asthma, probation, weight loss, 90s nostalgia, and a whole lot of malarkey with comedian Willie Page. Support the show

Vontae shares the tough-love lessons that helped him rebuild after moving home from Las Vegas, while Matt and Vontae trade perspectives on personal growth, stand-up comedy, and learning from the chaos life throws at you. As always, the conversation takes plenty of unexpected detours, mixing serious moments with the kind of humor that's become a staple of Good Times, Noodle Salad .

  Episode #71

  #71 - Andrew McFarland Talks The Independent Comedy Club Closing, 2008 Recession, Stand-Up Comedy

  Aug 5, 20262h 15m

  Good Times, Noodle Salad #71 welcomes comedian Andrew McFarland for a conversation that bounces between the comedy scene, career changes, blue-collar life, and the ever-changing culture surrounding stand-up. Matt and Paige sit down with Andrew to talk about the closing of The Independent Comedy Club and what it means for local comics, before diving into Andrew's start in stand-up comedy and the winding road that got him there. They also discuss how the 2008 economic collapse pushed Andrew into an entirely new career, leading to a conversation about the pros and cons of trades versus office jobs and how different career paths shape people's lives. Of course, no comedy podcast would be complete without tackling the topic of comedians getting cancelled , where the three explore changing audience expectations, controversial material, and how comics navigate today's comedy landscape. As always, GTNS is full of side quests, laughs, questionable opinions, and the kind of unfiltered conversation that can only happen when three comedians sit around a table with microphones. Topics include: Andrew McFarland, stand-up comedy, The Independent Comedy Club, the 2008 recession, career changes, trades vs. office jobs, cancel culture, local comedy, and everything in between.

  Episode #70

  #70 - Andrew Guay Talks Stand-Up Comedy, Data Centers, Michigan Politics

  Aug 3, 20262h 35m

  Good Times, Noodle Salad #70 welcomes comedian Andrew Guay for an episode that somehow manages to connect stand-up comedy, hyperscale data centers, engineering, Michigan politics, and a whole lot of nonsense. We dive into Andrew's journey through stand-up comedy before taking a surprisingly nerdy detour into the world of data centers, including the differences between closed-loop and open-loop cooling systems and why that stuff is way more interesting than it sounds. Along the way, we also get into the Michigan U.S. Senate race between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens , throwing around opinions, jokes, and the occasional half-baked hot take like only Good Times, Noodle Salad can. As always, the conversation rarely stays on track for long. Expect plenty of tangents, ridiculous stories, terrible puns, unexpected laughs, and the kind of conversational chaos that's become the show's trademark. If you enjoy podcasts about comedy, current events, engineering, music, and absolutely everything in between, this one's for you. Topics include: stand-up comedy, Andrew Guay, data centers, open-loop vs. closed-loop cooling systems, Michigan politics, Abdul El-Sayed, Haley Stevens, comedy writing, and everything in between.
