• Jonathan's Bail Money
    Jul 1 2026
    We are back inside the home studio with Jason Allen King and Jordan Centry (and completely missing Jonathan Williams, who is currently surviving a budget-conscious, post-parade trip to New York City). We’re keeping it entirely authentic to the green room vibe—refusing to be purely reactionary, but absolutely ready to pull back the curtain on our favorite icons making major corporate compromises.

    Who’s Headlining Anyway presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry and Jonathan Williams (@MrWilliamsComedy) broke in and did the podcast without Jason Allen King. So, this might not be the best episode to listen to. Tune in next week when Jason is back. Also, court is pending. Jordan saw someone on the way to the recording hitting the pipe and then saw people playing frisbee. Charlotte is multitudes but it is not New York. The guys discuss the New York Knicks. And Trump’s attendance. Could this loss be his fault on some level? The hierarchy of bills. The millennial notion of not checking the mailbox is a real thing. Alex King and Sean Kett are getting some love from Charlotte, Axios and Blair. The influencer discussion continues. Would you rather…wealth is often an answer but how you get it is more complicated. You may not believe this but Kanye comes up. Jordan rants.

    The Zoning Out Podcast presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams (@MrWilliamsComedy), and Jason Allen King. Jordan couldn't be here because he thinks he's better than Jason and Jonathan. Jason explains the funniest thing he does and even Jonathan agrees, which is saying something. They discuss clever, poignant sayings in the world and in the entertainment industry. Is saying rip inherently disrespectful. There is a new name for the next generation after GenZ. It's curious how the country likes to brand everything giving names to put things in a box, especially future generations. They break down GenX and generational challenger. And the sneaky business of the southern accent. The second segment dips into Mingo Mango Falls. You'll have to listen to understand. They touch on the Kevin Hart FunnyAF and whether we should say the AF or what they stand for. More importantly, they enjoy the roast of the Tony Hinchcliffe by Chelsea Handler. There are some comedy specials and comedians you have to watch like Maria Bamford. The roast, roast battles, and the diaper party. The guys finish up on a wildly weird Would You Rather followed by a touching discovery during a more grounded Would You Rather. These guys have multitudes. @jordancentry @mrwilliamscomedy @kingjasonallen FOLLOW + SUBSCRIBE Subscribe for full episodes + clips, and follow us on IG for show updates.

  • Down with Data Centers
    Apr 29 2026
    In this episode, Jordan & Jonathan are matching and lean into affirmations. They discuss The Boys and satire. The conversation quickly moves to the curious case of 4/20 and the number of historical events that have taken place on that date. What is the origin of four twenty? Most importantly the building of the Data Center in East Charlotte has been put on hold due to public outcry proving again that strength in numbers and your voice matters. Data Centers are bad news for everyone and the environment. Oh and they discussed funny things like partying in the woods and causing trouble growing up. And the Amy Pohler beef continues. In the second segment...Jonathan asks listeners to sign the petition. We do have power. Jonathan challenges Jordan with a "60 seconds on something you know nothing about". Jordan doesn't pull back on cheating. They guys move on to potential TV gigs, how to make it happen, and the wild Artemis II accomplishments and competency porn. Plus the cruel endings to some movies are too much. Finally, the News of the Weird does not disappoint.

  • White Women Decided to Just Stay Bad
    Apr 22 2026
    In this episode, the collective is back together. It's been a minute. They get into the value (or lack of) of good video when trying to get booked and what they/some actually use. The importance of finding your audience/your crowd. The guys dig into Coachella. They all commit to being a fan of Justin Bieber but also find his performance with a laptop, at best, curious. Cancel culture pops up again. The guys have a beef with @AmyPoehler who blatantly and without remorse stole an idea of from this very podcast known as 60 seconds on something you know nothing about. She refuses to speak on the matter. Well, Amy? What do you have to say? Crickets. Jordan presents Jonathan with a challenge of why white women will be the downfall of society. Jonathan struggles and provides the title for this week. Yikes. In the second half, Jonathan makes a terrible mistake regarding a fake artist that sparks a conversation about music. He redeems himself by introducing the guys to Rosalia's iconic performance at a British awards show. Jordan admits that he doesn't like music when he doesn't understand the language. That sounds worse than it is. They finish with a local fight to stop the building of a Data Center in east Charlotte.

  • Anyone Can Play, Anyone Can Win
    Apr 8 2026
    In this episode, Jason and Jonathon discuss the "selfish" absence of Jordan and their most recent performance at the Cain Center for the Arts. The economy of living off of standup is a puzzle that they have to figure out. Jason speaks about his trip to a few cities in Spain and Jonathan's lack of travel experience. After playfully roasting the fire department, Jonathan praises his experience at The Comedy Catch in Chattanooga, TN and the charming city. The guys soon dive into a discussion about movies, book adaptations, and storytelling. They claw through Jason's reoccurring anger at No Country For Old Men where new details emerge, the works of Wes Anderson and his often wearisome style, movie editing, and a return to comedy. After the break, the guys discuss at length the bizarre case of double amputee and professional cornhole player, Dayton James Webber, and his arrest for alleging murdering a friend. Buckle up. This might get them in trouble. The conversation deviates into tangents about hobbies, professionalism, amputees & murder, and hotel experiences. If all of that wasn't bad enough, they tackle the new Sperm Racing World Cup and all of the various logistical and disturbing challenges. They round out the episode with a Would You Rather considering having a personal driver at your request versus always getting bumped to first class when flying. The answers might surprise you.
