Red Bull, gummy bears, Airheads, ice cream sandwiches, and one gloriously derailed conversation. Episode 47 of Snackin' & Yakkin' brings in Charleston comedian Noah Brockett for a funny, weird, and surprisingly honest sit-down with BIG Ben Kennedy.

This one starts chaotic and stays that way in the best possible sense. Noah talks about doing comedy as a blind comedian without making blindness the whole act, how his vision changed over time, and why he wants to be known for sharp jokes first. Then the conversation swerves, because of course it does, into Robin Williams, karaoke, Rubik's cubes, Japan, metal vocals, St. Patrick's Day, and the long route to Noah's very first real stand-up set.

There are a lot of laughs here, but there's also real insight. Noah shares the story of losing his vision, getting training at the Louisiana Center for the Blind, and finding his way into comedy through a mix of stubbornness, timing, and a vocal coach who gave him the push he needed. Later, he explains how Japan became a huge part of his comedy journey, all because the stars lined up at exactly the right moment.

Also, yes, the ice cream sandwiches actually show up.

A comedy talk that actually goes somewhere, and two comics swapping stories about stage life, day jobs, Disney, coaching, and why making people laugh still matters. Episode 46 with David Furr is funny, loose, and packed with the kind of conversation that feels like hanging out after a great set.

David Furr joins BIG Ben Kennedy for one of the wildest snack choices the show has seen so far, an Outback Steakhouse Bloomin' Onion and Cokes. From there, things take off fast. They talk about Charleston comedy, open mics, building jokes, rough crowds, good crowds, being a newer comic in your 30s, and the weird little moments that make performing worth it.

Along the way, this episode gets into:

* David's start in stand-up comedy

* Why local artists and comedians need more shine

* The difference between writing quick jokes and building longer bits

* Coaching, mentorship, and showing up for people

* Working at Disney, and why that did not mean dressing up as Mickey

* Taylor Swift, yes, really

* EMS stories, audience connection, and the art of reading a room

* One very committed defense of the Bloomin' Onion as a top-tier snack

If you like comedy podcasts, comedian interviews, behind-the-scenes talk about stand-up, and snack-based chaos, this one's for you.

Josh Bates came to Snackin' & Yakkin' and this one goes gloriously off the rails. Comedy clubs, Mountain Dew, oatmeal cream pies, giant laughs, and a real talk moment about mental health in comedy, all in one episode.

Josh, comedian and owner of Wit's End Comedy Club and Lounge in North Charleston, hangs with BIG Ben Kennedy for a wild, funny, and weirdly heartfelt conversation about building a comedy scene, running an intimate club, booking comics, and why comedy has to come first. Then things take a hard left into testicle jokes, soda lore, vasectomy stories, and the kind of chaos this show does best.

If you love stand-up comedy, comedy club stories, behind-the-scenes talk from working comics, or podcasts that can go from thoughtful to completely unhinged in ten seconds, this episode is for you.Along the way, Josh & Ben talk about:

* Building Wit's End Comedy Club into a must-visit room in the South

* Why small comedy rooms beat giant theater shows

* The reality of running an independent comedy club

* Comics, creativity, and the mental health side nobody talks about enough

* Project Green Room, a program focused on helping creatives access mental health care
