Alex Pino Podcast

Recapping a bomb at Britt's Tavern that somehow still inspired somebody to try an open mic, plus digging up an old Japan eBay video switcher for Forza, driving to Wayward Sons cross-training at Riverside Community Center, quitting complaining cold turkey, and a BetterHelp vs Buzzsprout bit on the way through the rain.

Britt's Tavern — 432 South Brevard Ave, Arcadia
Wayward Sons / Riverside Community Center — Fort Myers

Recorded September 17, 2026.

Hosted Coastal Dayz Monday, headed to Britt's Tavern in Arcadia for the open mic, and the podcast is on YouTube now so clips can go vertical. Still chasing that first stranger who shows up because of the pod.

Quick on-the-go update: hosting Monday open mic at Coastal Dayz Brewery in Fort Myers (2161 McGregor Blvd) — showtime 6:30, ends at 9. Quiet weekend with family, podcast hit about 75 downloads, and a shout to whoever's listening instead of calling.

Driving home from Visani's 1st Comic Standing Round 4 in Port Charlotte. Competitiveness kicked in at the castle on Kings Hwy, the set felt better than expected, got 22 votes (up from 3 at Snappers), and Katie may have opportunities in the works — plus Calusa/Sanibel, maybe Miami, and Nice Guys Pizza in October.

Just got done at Snappers. Open mic was a blast, then the announcement you've been waiting for: guests are coming (aiming Nov/Dec, mostly a 2027 thing). Plus Coastal Days, Sonny's, and Stet's plugs.

Recorded September 4, 2026.

Shocked my podcast host emailed me about 50 downloads. On the way to Snappers in Fort Myers, plugging Tuesday at Sonny's, and spring-cleaning into the weekend.

After my first co-host night at Stet's, I talk through a big family decision: selling the house and renting closer to work and school. The math says the move could buy back about nine full work weeks every year — time with my wife and son instead of time in the car.

Nerding out over Omarchy on a 12-year-old ThinkPad. Battery went from about 40 minutes on Windows to around seven hours, and this episode was recorded on it before co-hosting at Stet's.

Trying to get the podcast rolling again after a call with a grade-school pal. Culture has been spread thin by the internet, plus nostalgia, a ChatGPT riff on monoculture, and co-hosting Evolving Comedy at Stet's tonight.

Recorded September 2, 2026.

At Stet's for Evolving Comedy Night, talking about a Monday skit, roast-style opposite-of-a-testimonial clips, and a Port Charlotte competition on September 8.

Recorded August 26, 2026.

Driving to Coastal Dayz, talking about a deli-meats sketch, wanting to work through the weekend, and doing both five-minute sets back to back.

Recorded August 24, 2026.

After a Saturday showcase at Valerie's Lounge, I talk through a crossroads on Fort Myers Beach. A shooting star shows up mid-thought.

Recorded July 18, 2026.

A 3:21 a.m. beach memo after a Fort Myers comedy day: skits with Mr. Beachbum and Emily Fisher, Dante hosting Coastal Dayz, a new five-minute set, and six nights in a row.

Recorded July 19, 2026.

After a Monday open mic, I talk about hitting 94 times on the mic, someone turning an iPad cover into an armoire, and going straight to the gym instead of staying out.

Recorded August 3, 2026.

In this episode of The Alex Pino Podcast, I talk about doing the same joke over and over during my set. It somehow went well. Or at least it felt like it did.

In this episode of The Alex Pino Podcast, I am just tired.

Recorded August 19, 2026.

In this episode of The Alex Pino Podcast, I sit down at the laptop and just get a few things done.
