Mark McConville

Picture this - you're a pastor at an evangelical Christian mega church, and donations are slipping. What are you gonna do? Well if Mark McConville (one of the best comedy podcasters ever to do it) is correct, what you're gonna do is fake a scandal, jet off to 'rehab', then sell a redemption narrative so compelling that Jesus Christ himself would be like 'woah'. Yes Mark suspects that some of these ministers going down for drug and affair scandals are just cynically plotting to raise more money for the church. Listen in this week for a surprisingly heartfelt conversation about the intersection between religion and capitalism, then a bunch of hot new ideas for gender neutral nicknames.

It's the first episode of TONY'S PICKS (where Tony Thaxton books my guests) and anything could happen! He's booked Matt Gourley and Mark McConville who've come equipped with fun facts and silly games. Do they hate water just as much as I do? Plus playing the ponies, Matt's Easter hunt, town in Orange County, Tony's editing, Game of Thrones talk, TV talk, a truly confusing experience for yours truly where it turns out no one uses "bump" the way I do and so much more.

Actor, musicin, improvisor and comedian Mark McConville is the baldest member of the genius improv group Superego, because he is the only bald member of Superego. But that is fine by him, because Mark is down with baldness! He discusses his bald outing story that saved him from getting what is now a now Vegas trash haircut, and how a past girlfriend's over dyed hair led him to embrace the bic and shave it off. Brian and he chat about comedy origins, creative survival and prove they are terrible at Trump impersonations. Alopecia and THE SLAP are also parsed by the two shineheads. And poor Charlie misses out on all the weird life connections he and Mark share. __                                                Show Information Twitter: @baldtalkpodcast Instagram: @baldtalkpod Email: baldtalkpod@gmail.com                     Brian Huskey Twitter: @thebrianhuskey Instagram: @thebrianhuskey Charlie Sanders Instagram: @charliesanders

We want our children to learn how to be healthy adults and develop the skills necessary for them to succeed in life. However, many young people experience anxiety, isolation, and depression that can turn into unhealthy coping strategies when they don't feel prepared to succeed in adulthood. And, many parents watching their young adult children struggle can get caught up in conflict, drama, angst, and struggle as they launch their teens into adulthood. I'm joined by my wife, Jody, and our guest Dr. Mark Mcconville, author of the book "Failure to Launch: Why Your Twentysomething hasn't grown up...and what to do about it" to talk about how we can help our young people thrive in adulthood.
