Not A Fan With Joe Faina

Ryan Cownie drops by the podcast only moments before recording his first stand up album to talk about more important things.  Like skateboarding.  The Nebraska Cornhusker fan talks trying to look the part his first time at a skatepark, why some skaters are actually big nerds, and a lot of reasons why skateboarding and stand up are similar. Check out his album recording October 6-7 at The Velveeta Room in Austin, TX.   Follow Ryan on Instagram: @ryamcownie Follow Velveeta Room: @thevelveetaroom Follow Joe: @faination Like us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/not-a-fan-with-joe-faina/id1040387022

It's the two year anniversary of the podcast and Joe's birthday.  Totally unrelated.  This is NOT an episode and Joe does NOT talk about bad football games you can't stop watching, bad baseball games you can stop watching, and the gift of Ted Cruz's Twitter faves.  Thank you Ted Cruz.  And thank you to everyone for listening.  In lieu of flowers give us a rating on iTunes: Not A Fan Podcast on iTunes Follow Not A Fan Podcast: @notafanpodcast Follow Joe: @faination 

Maggie Maye likes the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs and doesn't care what you think.  The Texas native and LA transplant is surprised to learn Kobe Bryant took Brandy to prom.  We also talked growing up a cheerleader in South Texas, clowning on Houston Texans fans, and the appropriate size of car flags.   Follow Maggie: @MaggieMayeHaha Follow Joe: @faination Follow Not A Fan: @NotAFanPodcast Subscribe on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/not-a-fan-with-joe-faina/id1040387022

Comedian Jace Avery joins the podcast to talk some real life Varsity Blues with a certain Dallas pro-football team.  The Texas native talks about growing up a sensitive boy who is just so great at football, why the Dallas Cowboys are the perfect choice for "America's Team", and which Cowboys players he most (and least) wants to meet.   Follow Jace: @JaceAvery Follow Joe: @faination Follow Not A Fan: @NotAFanPodcast Come check out our first  LIVE EPISODE Sept 15 at Dark Sky Brewing in Flagstaff Arizona for the Big Pine Comedy Festival bigpinecomedyfestival.com @bigpinecomedy @dark_sky_brewing

Robert Segovia returns to the podcast with a crisis of fandom.  The comedian hates Chris Paul almost as much as he loves the Houston Rockets, maybe more, and is going through a really hard time right now.  We discussed his best case/worst case scenarios for the season, why NBA players always seem to want to play in Houston, and ongoing hatred of Dallas fans.

In this episode comedian Aaron Hertzog remains committed to The Process in a plea to all potential fans.  The Philadelphia native talks of having a dad in the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame, sneaking in to Wells Fargo Arena as a member of Allen Iverson's crew, and the essentials of rec center basketball. Follow Aaron: @aaronhertzog Follow Joe: @faination

Another bombshell Not An Episode where Joe ponders what kind of rock Aaron Judge was carved out of and why Chris Paul missed his true calling as President of the United States (of Russia).   Follow Not A Fan Podcast: @NotAFanPodcast Follow Joe: @Faination

It's another NON episode where Joe falls asleep during MLB All-Star announcements, waking up just in time to profess his love for the "Old Man At The Rec Center" hoops game of 61-Year Old NBA prospect Calvin Roberts and the current king of the NBA Old Man game Vince Carter.

We got another fashion episode of Not A Fan this time featuring the best and worst dressed of the 2017 NBA Draft.  Joe is again joined by MK Paulsen (prev. episode 43) to offer his thoughts on the fashion choices of newly crowned 19 year old basketball millionaires, why its so hard to find a great suit when your tall, and more gushing about Dirk Nowitzki.   Follow MK: @mkpaulsen, @gayhorsey Follow Joe: @faination

In this short fun-sized episode of Not A Fan Joe ruminates on all the things Michael Jordan would have done if someone would have just given him a chance.

In this NOT A FAN FIRST comedian Daniel Webb joins Joe during the weekend of the 2017 NFL Draft to offer his thoughts on the dos and don'ts of wearing a suit on the day you become an instant millionaire.  The recent LA transplant and beauty behind the award winning mess Toyota Lopez talks of professional badminton, getting scolded by Christian lesbians at a Dolly Parton concert, and when not to wear a double-breasted suit to meet Roger Goodell.   Follow Daniel: @thedanielwebb Follow Joe: @faination

Yet another Texas expat Michael Monsour joins the podcast this week to bring another first in Not A Fan history.  We discuss not one, not even two, but TEN teams with equal intensity.  Some of these teams Joe even likes (Hook'em Horns!)  The host of A Comedy Show LA talks about his dad's meandering sports allegiances, why everyone is required to play football in Texas, and tries to get everyone within earshot to go with him to the Dodger game.  No arguments there. Follow Michael: @monsooncomedy Follow Joe: @faination

Chance Royce joins the podcast giving yet another voice of Austin on the West Coast.  The pride of Corpus Christi, TX (lack of choices) talks hosting comedy shows in sports bars in Austin, why no one likes the Clippers, and how it would be so typical of the Philadelphia Eagles to sign Tony Romo.  For spite.  Episode NOT sponsored by Big Daddy's Sports Bar, Austin, TX.   Follow Chance: @ChanceRoyce Follow Joe: @Faination Follow Big Daddy's: @bigdaddysaustin

Kelsey Caine joins the podcast with her cohost (and lover) Martin Urbano hidden comfortably in the corner.  The 2017 finalist in the Miss New York pageant talks about growing up with a tennis pro father, using apathy as a competitive strategy in high school tennis matches, and the aggressively passive world of being pretty competitively.   Follow Kelsey: @Kelsey_Caine #PageantKelsey Follow Martin: @MartinUrbano Follow Joe: @faination

LA's baddest of boys Josh Androsky joins the podcast to share the message of the people.  And that message is the Green Bay Packers, naturally.  Josh dishes on his neighbors--the parents of Ron Goldman, his mother's dominance during SuperBowl parties, and even more Aaron Rodgers family drama.   Follow Josh: @ShutUpAndrosky Follow Joe: @Faination

Dallas native and Comedy Store regular Jay Light joins the podcast for the most positive chat about the Dallas Cowboys in 20 years.  Jay shares his time trolling college basketball fans in North Carolina, how to cope with endless trash talk about them 'Boys, and calling out the hijinks of his high school football team.  This episode is NOT brought to you by Whataburger.   Follow Jay: @DietJay                   JayLightComedy.com   Follow Joe: @Faination                  Faination.Tumblr.com  

Comedian and Dallas-ish native Mark Agee joins the podcast on Superbowl weekend but NOT to talk about the game.  Instead we go over one demoralizing Cowboys season to the next before settling in on the REAL Dallas champs the Mavs.  This episode is NOT brought to you by that Dez Bryant "catch". Follow Mark: @MarkAgee Follow Not A Fan: @NotAFanPodcast 

It's the 1 year anniversary of the show.  Joe may be out in LA now but he brought along his pals of Vanilla Presley, Austin's #1 Comedy Rap Duo, for the ride.  Pat Sirois and Lane Krarup talk about their roots in stand up and freestyling, famous weapons charges in professional sports, and the 90s era Cowboys & Packers.  Then everyone joins in to shame Joe's choice of flows as he attempts to rhyme on beat for the first time.   Follow Vanilla Presley: @VanillaPresley
