  • California Sober w/ Rob Conroy & Jim Gedney
    Jan 16 2026

    Welcome to the NEW STUDIO! 🎉 featuring Stephen Michael James, Rob Conroy, and the Legendary Jim Gedney 😂🎤 In this epic 69th episode, Stephen finally steps into the fancy new studio (he’s still figuring out how to not trip over cables) 🎧😂, joined by his unofficial co-host Rob Conroy (who’s basically the chaos mascot) 🤪, and for the FIRST time ever, Stephen’s dad, Jim Gedney—because what’s life without a little family chaos? 👨‍👦🔥

    .

    We kick things off with a family history lesson on the name “Gedney”—which, honestly, sounds like a sneeze 🤧—and Jim’s wild ride from being born as Stacy, getting adopted, and living through the mellow 70s in Northern California 🌲🌿. Jim spills the beans on his first joint (spoiler: he was terrible at it) and shares stories about running away as a teen and ending up in Corpus Christi, TX—because apparently, that’s what you do when you’re rebellious and don’t want to adult anymore 🤷‍♂️🌵.

    .

    Then, things get spicy as we chat about cocaine in the 80s, Jim’s meth adventures (don’t try this at home, folks), and Rob’s wild tales of homelessness, drug psychosis, and somehow surviving it all without ending up on a reality TV show 🤯🙃. Jim also takes us on a tour of his years driving tour buses for big-name bands like Phish, Paul McCartney, Pink!, and Aerosmith—somehow managing not to get kicked out or arrested (mostly) 🎸🚚.

    .

    The conversation gets even crazier when we talk about trying DMT someday (because why not?), and Rob shares some trippy stories from his own psychedelic misadventures 🌌🌀. Stephen drops a bomb about his brothers and his son Jesse—who managed to get arrested crossing state lines with 7 lbs of weed and STILL never spent a day in jail (seriously!) 🚔💚.

    .

    Rob chimes in with more wild stories from his drug-fueled past—because if we’re not embarrassing ourselves, are we even doing this right? 😂 Then, we wrap up with some laughs about our recent New Year, New Jokes show at Tacoma Comedy Club, and a hilarious segment watching the internet’s craziest clips—because if you can’t laugh at the chaos, what’s the point? 🤣📱

    .

    This episode is a rollercoaster of redemption, family drama, and "how the hell did we survive that?" moments. Stephen finally gets to share his dad’s story—and honestly, I think Jim should get his own Netflix special after this. 🎥🔥

    .

    James shares his journey growing up in Washington 🏞️, starting out in Bellingham 🎒, moving to Portland 🌲, and finally settling in Tacoma with his brother 🏡👊. But here’s the story: after his brother moved out 🏃‍♂️🔑, two of the “Tacoma Boys” 🧢🎙️ — local comics and good friends — moved into James’ house, turning it into a comedy home! 🏠🎉 And on the day I recorded this episode, those two roommates were literally moving out! 🚚📦

    .

    They also get into the recent “cancellation” of some Seattle comics in 2024 🚫🎭, how those rescheduled gigs opened doors for collaborations with comedy legends like Jim Florentine 🎤, Luis J Gomez 🎧, and Kurt Metzger 🎙️🔥. Plus, they compare the stand-up scenes in Seattle 🏙️ and Tacoma 🏡 — what’s hot, what’s not, and the crazy stories from the road! 🚗💨

    .

    James opens up about a health scare from last year involving a blood clot 🩸😱— how he faced it head-on and where he’s at now 💪✨. He also shares a surprising fact: his favorite comedian is Bill Cosby 🧓🎤— despite the scandals, he still looks up to Cosby’s work and impact on comedy. 🏆🤔 James explains why Cosby’s style and storytelling resonate with him.

    .

    He offers some inspiring advice on overcoming challenges and staying positive ❤️🌟. Then, James drops some serious wisdom on how to break through as a comic 🎤🔥, craft killer sets 🧠🎙️, and keep the laughs coming! 😂📝

    .
