Episode 12: The All That's Holy: Blue Collar Podcast Interview with Sherry Japhet
In this episode, recorded shortly after the death of Don Rickles, we discuss comedy. Crash-test-Craig reveals his lack of comedy awareness while CodeMaster Cody and Christina Without-a-Nickname (yet) reveal an insightful perspective on comics and comedy. We even try to understand political correctness.
The interview this week is with Boise comedian, Sherry Japhet. Our conversation ranges from serious, to serious and funny, to plain funny. Sherry reveals her perspectives on Eastern Idaho; being bi-racial and raised by her dad, a white man (that's how she describes him); mental health; and what humor is good for. Rather than an interview, this is really just a free-flowing conversation showing Sherry’s depth and how diverse life experiences flow into comedy.

In the Two Minute Warning toward the end of the podcast, taking on the notion of political correctness, we try to tackle (in 45 seconds each) whether or not there are topics off-limits to humor.
Also, we hear how much Christina really appreciates Amy Schumer.
Rather than musical transitions, this episode, Cody has chosen more appropriate interludes:
