    Old Yeller
    Jan 20 2026
    The gang’s back together — Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, and Jason Allen King — with rum, coke (a lot of coke), and big 2026 energy. We open with an important announcement: Three’s Comedy Tour hits the Cain Center for the Arts in Cornelius, NC on March 10. If you’re in Charlotte, Huntersville, Mooresville, or anywhere nearby, grab tickets now at cainarts.org. Then we get into awards season chaos, including the indie horror film “Good Boy” — shot from a dog’s perspective — and the question nobody expected to debate: Can a dog be a great actor? (And does this open the door for more dog-led horror films?) From there, the conversation turns into a love letter to craft: acting choices, career pivots, and why certain performers (Michael B. Jordan, Timothée Chalamet, Idris Elba, Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey, and more) hit different when they’re locked in. In the second half, we show love to the Charlotte comedy scene, shout out both clubs (The Comedy Zone + Duckworth’s) and talk about what it means to get “passed” — plus why that kind of recognition matters for building a real comedy culture in the city. Finally, we set 2026 goals for each other (with equal parts encouragement and roasting), and close with a Would You Rather that turns into a full-on morality debate: Generational wealth… or a portal gun that lets you travel the multiverse?

  • Steve's Stranger Things

    Steve's Stranger Things
    Jan 14 2026
    Zoning Out is back for the first episode of 2026! Jordan, Jason, and Jonathan kick off the new year by diving into the Stranger Things series finale (SPOILERS AHEAD). We break down what hit, what missed, and what had us yelling at the screen: the “volume” release strategy, the over-explaining/exposition-heavy dialogue, characters randomly turning into motivational speakers, and the biggest debate of all… How did NOBODY important die?! We also get into: • Why Season 4 might’ve been the peak • How the show shifted from creepy mystery to full superhero action • Vecna getting a little too much screen time (and backstory) • Nancy going full Rambo • The military being cartoonishly evil • And why Hawkins realistically should’ve been erased from the map afterward. Then we close with a Would You Rather that turns into a personality test: Would you rather have a “skip the awkward part” button or a “redo one sentence” button — once per day, for life? Plus: quick show plugs and cruise abandonment allegations. Like, comment, and subscribe (we just cracked 30!) New episodes presented by The Comedy Zone

    Might Have To Punch Kid Cudi
    Dec 8 2025
    This week on Zoning Out, Jordan Centry and Jonathan Williams break in to Jason Allen King's house to record while he has more important things to do. In This Episode: The guys discuss Black Friday, Cyber Monday and starting Stranger Things in the middle. Plus: Job changes for better or worse. And we're back to Love's gas stations! Christmas might not be Christian? Fabulous. Pause. Maintaining a comedy career is always challenging. There are highs and lows. Laughing Skull Lounge in Atlanta is always great.

    Ariana Ain't Grande
    Dec 1 2025
    This week on Zoning Out, Jordan Centry, Jason Allen King, and Jonathan Williams dive into chaos with everything from fake YouTube apology videos to defending their ICE comments. In This Episode: YouTube apology culture and monetizing fake sincerity, ICE backlash from last week’s episode & responding to angry commenters. Is criticizing ICE a crime? (Spoiler: no.) Ariana Grande’s appearance sparks debate – is it concern, body shaming or both? Do old people still make out? A surprisingly deep dive into intimacy and aging. Comedy Club drama: rowdy crowds, Champagne Rooms, and “Rachel”. Can you clone your dog? Tom Brady did. Would You Rather: $5K/month for life OR perfect teeth forever? Ancient aliens, Star Trek socialism, and the importance of humor in advanced civilizations. It's a lot. Plus: Friends with benefits in your 70s? Jonathan’s show hijacked by a senior couple’s shocking confession. Jordan’s stand-up weekend at Laughing Skull in Atlanta. Jason’s Duckworth’s feature weekend + more tour stops coming soon. Three’s Comedy Tour heads to the Cain Center for the Arts in Cornelius, NC – March 10th!

    Kanye's Apology
    Nov 21 2025
    In this explosive episode of Zoning Out, the guys dive headfirst into the theory that Oprah Winfrey may have popularized fatphobia — and back it up with receipts. From the infamous "Fat War" between Raleigh & Durham to Oprah’s decades-long Weight Watchers partnership, we unpack how one of America’s most beloved figures may have shaped toxic body norms. Also in this episode: Should billionaires even exist? Does taking Ozempic make Oprah the villain? Remember when ODB made fantasy a classic (and chaos)? Would you give up your favorite artist’s music if it meant they never did anything terrible? (Looking at you, Kanye, Chris Brown, Louis CK, Harvey Weinstein…) Comedy chaos includes: "No Ethical Billionaires" – our Billie Eilish-inspired rant; The Most Wild Studio Story Ever (ODB & Mariah Carey) ; Jordan's Oprah Conspiracy enters the stand-up stage; The Artist Controversy Draft – who stays, who goes? Lot Lizards vs. Ozempic – a metaphor no one asked for Jason’s Carnival Cruise Risk & comedy road updates Subscribe to hear unfiltered takes on comedy, culture, and chaos every week.
