Coming at you en plein air, TJ and I sat down in his parent's backyard in Denver to discuss growing up together, philosophy, and of course, death and people's aversion to discussing it openly. And how we both love East High School more than words can express. Hey-lo-lo, hey-lo-lo, hey!

I sit down with Illegal Pete's impressario Pete Turner to talk about how a struggling, hole-in-the-wall Mission-style burrito joint in Boulder turned into a Colorado empire. While never losing it's sense of cool. We also talk Steinbeck, Van Morrison phoning it in at Red Rocks and fatherhood.

Only fitting that the first episode of the summer features the King of Summah, Howard Kremer! I toured with Howard across the country on the Road to Oddball tour and somewhere along the way we broke out the podcasting gadgetry in a hotel room to talk Austin Stories, Dragon Boy Suede and why we are both about ready to stay in one place for awhile. Have a summah!

National Poetry Slam Champion, Tedx Speaker, Nuyorican Poets Cafe Grand Slam Champion and Queen City of the Plains alleyway-wander Ken Arkind stopped by My Dining Room Table to talk about how a poet's life and a comic's life aren't all that different, and how he and I are both going to wind up old men, lamenting our lost Denver of yore. The parts we were born to play. Denver is lonesome for her heroes. Less so with Ken Arkind around.

Emily Heller came by My Dining Room Table! We talked about Friday Night Lights! Then I asked her a bunch of questions and tried to make her answer on behalf of all female comedians. She did so politely and then schooled me on why it's annoying to always have to do exactly that. Then she showed me Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton videos! And we both agreed that their chemistry was something you cannot fake.

Ian Douglas Terry is the boy-prince of Omaha comedy. He also has three names. I love Omaha. I also have three names. Thus, we are dear friends. IDT is a punk-rock kid who got into comedy and basically just invented his own scene. DIY and all that. We caught up in a West Des Moines Hilton Garden Inn hotel room and talked shop, wrestling, then we got drunk and ate Mexican food and talked shit about Rory Scovel (after the outro music, secret track!). Somebody had to

Can you believe My Dining Room Table has been around one year?! I can. I was there for literally every episode. Trust me: it took a year.

Bienvenue to the first MDRT episode of Ben and Adam Do Things, wherein I, Adam, team up with my buddy Ben Roy, he of Ben fame, and head out and do things! We intend to do these sporadically and for our inaugural effort, we headed out to buy pot, legally, as only us Coloradoans can. Enjoy.

Kyle Kinane is the type of guy who likes to roam around. He's never in one place. He roams from town to town. Today he wandered into Adam's dining room. And by Adam I mean me! Yes, this is the episode where we abandon the third-person facade and get right down to the truth that I, Adam Cayton-Holland, am writing these episode descriptions. So take it from me, this episode rules.

Kevin Fitzgerald is like Forrest Gump but Irish. And not mentally disabled. The stand-up-comedian/star of Animal Planet's "Emergency Vets"/former crack security team-member for The Rolling Stones has lived one of those amazing, mercurial lives that defy all reason. He sits down with Adam to chat George Burns, P. Funk and Mongolian vultures. Par for the course.
