Conversate with Shawn Mathenia: Recent Episodes
SHAWN MATHENIA
I am a comedian and I love listening to podcasts. But I learned a long time ago that I couldn't listen to interview podcasts with my wife and kid in the car. So, I created a family-friendly interview podcast where I "conversate" with people that interest me. I will be interviewing/conversating with comedians, musicians, actors and successful people that fascinate me. So, please enjoy and tell your friends about us.
P.S. I know "conversate" isn't a word...I just love annoying the language police.
Excited about this one. Such a cool cat.

www.jjbarrows.com JJ's website bio: Being the middle child of a preacher's family in the South, I always felt a little different, a little left out and a little confused as to who I was "supposed" to be. Turns out I'm a little funny, a little deep and a lot more loved than I knew. That's what I want for people... to know themselves, love themselves and in turn extend that love to others. Using laughter is the best way I've found to connect us all... no matter how different, we're all awkwardly human just trying to do life. I'm a comedian and storyteller in many forms... through the written and spoken word, visual art, and video editing- all intertwined with the realities of life and the humor to get through it.

SORRY LONG STORY BUT HAPPY ENDING.
Late January 2016, I woke up around 5 am with the worst pain in my upper back. I couldn't go back to sleep. I tried ice and ibuprofen. Nothing worked. The pain was getting unbearable. I called 9-1-1.
When I was with the paramedics and in the ER, I was screaming in pain, “Please help me!!!” They couldn’t give me any painkillers because they didn’t know what was wrong with me yet. My blood pressure was over 200/100!!! After x-rays and CT scan, a doctor told me that I had a tear in my aorta. I didn’t know what an aorta was, but it sounded serious. IT WAS!!!
I was transferred to another hospital that could handle my condition. Couple days later they found two more aortic tears now three in total. I was getting worse. I was bleeding internally which if not fixed would kill me.
I still remember the surgeon standing over my bed telling me that I needed surgery and that my family needed to get to the hospital ASAP. I thought, “Why? So, I could say goodbye to them? Get my affairs in order?”
The surgeon told me that there was a 30% chance that I lose my left arm and 10% chance lose my legs because where the tears were in my aorta.
Unfortunately, they had given me blood thinners to lower my BP. They couldn’t do the surgery on blood thinners because my blood wouldn’t clot. Now a balancing act, between needing surgery now and waiting for the “thinners” to get through my system.
The first surgery was stopped because there was blood in my spinal fluid which could cause paralysis. I had to wait another 12 to 24 hours for surgery. Hopefully the “thinners” would be out of my system by then and I wouldn’t die before they could do surgery.
The wait was scary but helped by the great love and support from my friends and family. I had over 300 posts on my Facebook page praying for me and wishing me well.
The second surgery was successful. I now had extra hardware in me. Five stents in my aorta. Still had my left arm and legs.
Three months later, I had a third surgery. This time I had an allergic reaction to the “dye” used to see the tears. I woke up from surgery with my arms tied to the bed and a tube down my throat. Not a pleasant experience to have the tube removed. Later the surgeon would tell me that he was afraid that he had lost me because of the allergic reaction.
Now three years later, I have lost 35 lbs. since my surgery. Walk 5 to 10 miles a day. Eat a lot better.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY?!?!
I nearly died because didn’t take care of my health. More specifically control my hypertension (High Blood Pressure). I used to brag that I hadn’t been to the doctor in years. Realize now that wasn’t a good thing to brag about.
Hypertension is called the silent killer. You only know something is wrong when something bad happens like a stroke, heart attack, tears in your aorta…
Check your Blood Pressure recently?
If it’s over 120/80 then act.

Jeremy Rochford is an author, speaker and award winning athlete. However, his life wasn’t always so positive. Growing up as a morbidly obese child, Jeremy was often a target for bullying, hate-speak and dis-inclusion.
As the years progressed into adolescence and young adulthood, he found himself medicating with food on an emotional level. After years of caloric substance abuse, Jeremy found himself at fulcrum when a family vacation to an amusement park ended with him being kicked off of his favorite ride for being too fat. At a cross roads, Jeremy contemplated one of two options; life change or suicide.
What happened next is amazing.
Jeremy used “the most embarrassing moment of my life” to lead him on a journey in which he’s not only lost 200lbs, but he has kept it off for over a decade. This accomplishment has lead him to the TEDx stage, the front cover of Yahoo Health and the publishing of his memoir "The Gospel According to Chubby.”
Originally a shell of an individual, Jeremy is now known for his humorously creative approach to personal awareness, self estimate building and character development.

Michelle Krajecki was born and raised in Chicago. Her comedy comes from her mid-western, middle class, middle child views. She is a graduate of The Second City Training Program in Chicago and Zanies stand-up comedy classes. Her comedy transcends gender, age, perspectives and blood types. She has hosted her own comedy minute on 95.9 The River, a suburban Chicago radio station. She also was a co-host of her own comedy cable television show, “Comedy-At-Random”, in Downer’s Grove, IL. Michelle can be seen at clubs and comedy events all over town including Zanies, The Laugh Factory, and Riddles Comedy Club. She was a finalist in The Clean Comedy Challenge at Hoosier Park Casino, Indiana, in 2015. She also was the winner of ‘The High Fiber Division’ at a Chicago Comedy competition, 2016.
Michelle’s comedy path has come full circle. The original ‘plan’ was to go to The Second City after getting her theater degree. Deciding she was not the starving artist type, she taught special education before staying home with her kids. After performing comedic roles in church dramas, encouragement from family and friends and a mid-life crisis, she decided to pursue a career in comedy. Realizing her dream, she graduated from The Second City Training Center in Chicago. Afterward, she felt compelled to strike out on her own and perform stand-up comedy.
As a mother with two children ‘on the spectrum’, Michelle chooses to look at life through a ‘twisted lens’. She believes most comedy comes from imperfect people living in an imperfect world. “You can’t control life, but you can control your reaction to it.” I like to share my twisted views with other.
After a somewhat empty nest (they always seem to be around), Michelle and her husband moved from the suburbs back into the city. There, they live with their part-time tenant—their college-aged daughter. (The oldest was successfully launched and is working in Virginia –also working on her second Masters.)

If you are lucky, God will, at least once, bring a dude into your life that becomes a fast friend immediately. That is who this cat is to me. He doesn't have a website up yet. He has just come out of a 5 year hiatus. But he is one of the funniest guys alive. I hope you enjoy our conversation and share it with your friends.
This is literally two friends just busting each other and having fun for an hour. I love this guy. He is one of those guys that is real and doesn't pretend to be someone he isn't. And that is refreshing in todays world.

Part 2 might be a little bit off (about half way through). Clint and i have 2 completely different talking voices and i bumped the mixer...so all my fault.
Clint was born and raised in rural Indiana, the youngest of four children in a very funny household. He learned at a very early age, the best way to be heard by the rest of his family was to make them laugh.
This was a lesson Clint carried with him on into school. Even in high school, he much preferred to entertain his basketball teammates with his jokes and impressions on long bus trips to actually playing in the games.
After college Clint began working for the State of Indiana where he has remained as an employee or contractor for the past twenty-six years, first as an eligibility worker with the Food Stamp and Medicaid office and now as a Vocational Rehabilitation counselor.
Clint still knew he wanted to entertain people which would lead him to professional wrestling.
This experience allowed Clint to entertain as, stretch as a performer, get experience on the microphone and learn how to read an audience. Clint would continue in professional wrestling for five years eventually sharing cards with many stars of the day including former NWA World Champions Tommy "Wildfire" Rich and Barry Windham and WWE Hall of Famers "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig and Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy. Even then Clint’s decidedly unfit "Mr. Fitness" character was played more for laughs than menace.
Eventually, after being inspired by the documentary "I Am Comic", Clint found his true calling in stand-up comedy.
Over the past ten years Clint has quietly and steadily honed his craft. Along the way Clint has performed shows for organizations such as Touch Inc., Optimal Rhythms Inc./Access Academy, The TSA/AIDS Holiday Project, Special Olympics and Kosair Shriners and shared stages with performers as varied as Tonight Show veteran Mack Dryden, Chelsae Lately regular Christina Pazsitzky and Heywood Banks.
It was after a show together in 2018 that Heywood Banks suggested the Clean Comedy Challenge to Clint. Clint followed this advice to attain his greatest success to date by winning the highly regarded 10th annual Clean Comedy Challenge in Nashville Tennessee against a stacked field of seasoned pros.
I think part one is great, as far as the levels...part 2 might be a little bit off. clint and i have 2 completely different talking voices.

Here is Aaron's bio:
I'm Aaron, The Unemployed Alcoholic.
While it took a lifetime of decisions to earn this title, it took only 18 months to embrace it and figure out how to help others through it.
Eighteen months felt like a long time as I pursued recovery while facing rejection from the job market, identity crisis, depression and anxiety. But looking back, it seems like just the blink of an eye given the healing I experienced and the purpose I found.
Now I am a comedian, a speaker and a recovery support partner who finds the humor in my own challenges while drawing upon a unique blend of transparency and boldness to approach sensitive topics in an entertaining and encouraging way.
I am an openly Christian man. I'm far from perfect, but I do my best to love God and those around me.

PART 2: Jerry is an accomplished comedian and philanthropist (can't believe that I spelled that right on the first try). He is a conservative, red-neck, homosexual comedian from Chattanooga Tn. And I am proud to call him friend.
This conversation gets deep. So you might not want your kids to listen to it. But it is important to have conversations with people that have different views than our own. You will learn a lot from this interview. We talk comedy, careers, life, child abuse, God, homosexuality and (last but not least) OPOSSUMS.
