Austin Anderson has been doing stand-up since 2001. He never wanted to start a podcast. He just wanted to be funny and mysterious, like God intended. But then a high-level booker broke his heart and said, “If you want to keep doing stand-up, you need a podcast.” And so, against his will, and with great reluctance... this is: The Austin Anderson Show.

Daddy Came Back (Lobster Tails, Bad Remakes & Finding Hope in a Broken World)
After disappearing for a bit, Austin finally returns — and yes, he knows he said he’d be back sooner.
This episode kicks off the comeback with life updates, a hilarious grocery store story involving government benefits and eight lobster tails, and a brutally honest rant about terrible movie remakes (looking directly at The Running Man). From there, things swing into unexpected joy with an incredible Eric Church concert, progress on the Ranch Bowl documentary, and reflections on creativity, nostalgia, and why real art still matters.

I Choose Jesus Over the Machine (And I’m Not Sorry) | Ep. 88
I’m bad at the game of life because the game is rigged. So this episode goes straight for the throat.
We talk about opting out of a broken system, why everyone feels dead inside, why kindness feels illegal on the interstate, and why faith in Jesus isn’t something I argue anymore, it’s something I cling to like a life raft in a burning world.
This isn’t theology class.
This is rage, repentance, hypocrisy, mercy, pride, daily sin, and that stupid plank jammed in all our eyeballs.
The world says fix everyone else. Jesus says start with yourself.
I chose Jesus. Not science-as-religion. Not power. Not the machine. If that bothers you, this episode definitely will.

I Disappeared, Moved into a Farmhouse, and Now It’s 2026 (Gas, Billionaires & the Antichrist)
I’m back. Barely.
After disappearing to survive a full-blown farmhouse move—from Christmas Eve to mid-January—I crawl back behind the mic to explain why my life turned into a Home Depot fever dream. No doors. Movers with bald tires. Windstorms. Lost phone chargers. A Ron White cigar shrine in rural Nebraska. This episode is a reset. A ramble. A “hey, I’m still alive.” Tomorrow we’re back to a real show, today is just taking care of business.
