In this wondrous return to form, Ava repeatedly gets her thighs wet and dry as she discusses the dumbest story in the bible, flooding in Toronto, evil rich buttheads, the "I swear on my ___" phrase, a story of a man who came out of the closet after he'd died, and a story about one soul occupying two lumpy bodies.

Stay tuned for "Hannah Barbara Headlines"!

We've got a FIERY episode for you today! Ava comes out red hot and reminisces about Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, going to the dentist to freeze her face, the summer heat, a story about accidentally going commando, paying honest compliments, being the 'supporting character' in a viral video, getting the best most validating comment for a trans woman from a cis lady, and then ending on a super positive note about spreading kindness and giving compliments to strangers.

Ava is back after a brief hiatus to bring the funny to your a$$ for PRIDE MONTH!! Not only does she solve a longstanding lighting issue with flair, but she goes on to cover a range of topics, including: the dawn of Pride month, being a "PLUS" in the LGBT+, being competitive despite herself, doing standup for radio, good phone numbers that have rhythm, an announcement about the distant future, Patreon ideas, a recent horror film audition, "Douche Rehab", Red Shirt Guy, and a story about her lawyer making her accidentally racist.

Check out "Douche Rehab" online and don't forget "SO BRAVE" comes out on YouTube June 30th!!!

She's back from Halifax and LOADED WITH ESTROGEN!! In this episode of PodGis, Ava speaks at length about her new hormone regimen, her recent experience at the Halifax Comedy festival, the weird heteronormative grooming she received when she was young, her prized "Lounge Dragon" video, and a hot take about Marvel superhero Tony Stark/Iron Man.

Val is back from the Winnipeg Comedy Festival with stories and insights to share! But not before she takes a deep dive into the Kendrick Lamar versus Drake beef, Jerry Seinfeld's recent thoughts on "woke" showbiz, and some more character ideas including a sensual undercover cop and a football player with an unfortunate tick. She then goes on to discuss her performance and lessons from the Winnipeg Comedy Festival television taping, and ends with her favourite Kanye moment and a pitch to be a cult leader. Off to Halifax! See you next week!

WE HAVE A NEW INSIDE JOKE WITH THE FANS ;)

...Which Val introduces early, then goes on to discuss a myriad of topics including *more CharacterGis*; a miscommunication with a nail salon worker; a couple *big announcements*; trying not to reading the comments; being approved for gender affirming breast augmentation; *another rant* about the bystander effect, and fight/flight/freeze responses; *another rant* about closted admirers/chasers of trans women; her take on the first two episodes of Netflix's "Baby Reindeer"; reflections on her own weakness for validation; and some funny observations on 'if people behaved in video games like thei did in real life'.

So much to talk about! Don't forget to tune in to 800 Pound Gorilla's YouTube channel June 30th for Al Val's debut special "So Brave"! Woo!!

Al Val is back from her comedy tour and bursting with stories to share!

In this episode, Val combs over many details from her recent two-week tour through western Canada and deviates into some personal reflections regarding her good nature and exploitable naivete, the upsetting self-serving futility of saying "I told you so", being more comfortable singing and dancing post-transition, and taking the stage after being immmediately misgendered by the emcee. Heck, she even throws in a new segment involving silly character premises!

We're in for a "shorty" this week! This is just a little something to tide PodGis fans over while Val wraps up her Canadian tour.

At any rate, she has a delightful little time talking about jeans models, the prejudices against Alberta that she is cautious not to overindulge, some schmuck's (accidentally transphobic?) terrible first impression, JK Rowling and the "just don't look" approach to battling transphobia, and she concludes with another classic timespeak hungus bungus.
