Stand-Up, Radio, Haikus & Talkin' Dirty (Dr. Peppers) w/ Jared Stern | Ep 23 | Snackin' & Yakkin'

Two comedy lifers reunite, fix a cursed recording, sip Dirty Dr Pepper, and trade wild DC–Baltimore radio stories!

Jared Stern joins Big Ben Kennedy for a full-on Snackin’ & Yakkin’ session. We talk early open mics at Winchester’s, Elliot in the Morning memories, lost tapes, and the second-place comedy contest days. Then we make Dirty Dr Peppers the right way, crush Dots Homestyle Pretzels, and hit everything from albums to haiku.
