Star of the show. Well not really as it is a two man show, but my fragile ego can't handle sharing the spotlight. Scientists theorize that I am the offspring of Joe Dirt and a Bon Jovi cassette.


In my off time I like to put gravy on my biscuits, and play with my sweet pretty dog Minnie. That Checks Out is the only smart business idea I have ever had, but that is mostly because I brought in Ted Willson to be the heart, soul, and comedy genius of the show.

I am a self-made hundredaire who enjoys making people laugh and swerving to miss squirrels at high rates of speed. I take great comfort in the vanity of having a second L in my last name that serves merely as a status symbol. Other words that compare to WilLson, are unchalLengeable (obvious), intelLigentsia (the intellectual elite of society), and whatchamacalLit (a delicious candy bar).


I perform stand up comedy locally, enjoy the Back to the Future franchise, and can juggle three apples when I’m not hungry (two if I am). I’m really just a guy who is following his dreams and will do anything to make this journey a success. . . successful enough to buy custom shoes.  (This one’s not a vanity thing, but both of my big toes are on my left foot. While walking in a straight line can be difficult, I’m a beast at playing kickball.)


Turning negatives into positives two Ls at a time. ~ WilLson 2020

Big Mac

Big Mac

Big Mac

While the picture leads you to assume there are many layers of Mac, there are not. He's just a producer who loves to ignore the self-proclaimed talent of Damon and often only laughs at his expense! Also, his old studio had a shower but he'd never let him use it!

SOME OF OUR FAVORITE EPISODES

If you've just found us these episodes are a great place to start. It's ok, you can catch up on them all later!


"I'm Not Randy" and The Stand-Up Prognosticator

100

The guys discuss the world's most expensive, bedazzled kitchen utensil, how to build infinite wealth two gold bars at a time, and Damon protects his family by repeatedly destroying deadly countertop piñatas.

A PIT Maneuver Resulting in L.U.I.

91

The guys discuss home improvement store ninjas, why you should judge people solely based on the condition of a specific kitchen appliance, and how Mac's treatment of puppies depends on the placement of their kangaroo. 

"I'd Like to Buy A Vowel for Sushi"

88

The guys discuss the world's first "ambassador to the extraterrestrial", how to surprise your Valentine with a moderately cool chocolate in Detroit, and the plausible deniability of a late night double waffle. 

I Agree to Yeet the Door When Done Suckling.

82

The guys discuss "Rage Quitting" holidays, the appropriate amount of effort required to sell items that were previously earmarked for the curb, and Ted flies after a false confirmation of safety. 

We're Back and and We Said Stage That Time

74

The guys welcome back Damon for their first recording in over a month, Ted refuses Carrot Cake only to enjoy more free appetizers, and Mac has a new favorite job that requires the word "stage" be mentioned. 

Dry Beef and the No Condiment List

66

Damon's eyeball gets wet, his beef becomes infinitely dry, and his use of drop #15 on the board remains excessive. 

Waffle Stomp and the Chain Smoking Psychic

47

Ted perfects his 90's female psychic impression, Mac gets showered with gifts and has to bleep himself for free, and Damon needs an electrician in studio to wire up a light. 

Handrew Andrew and Crossing the Delaware

46

The guys very ignorantly pour salt on chickens, stumble upon the reason for George Washington's awkward smile, and determine the absolute bare necessities for being stranded in the wilderness. 

It's me!!! I' a man!

41

The guys discover having Mac fully visible can lead to heartache, Damon is not a contractor nor cashier, and Ted reveals the underlying meaning of Damon's existence! 

Pirates of the North Atlantic: We're Gonna Need Those Uniforms (PG13)

37

The guys dabble in appliance relocation, try to determine if they stink or it's just the booze, and discover the world's largest late fee in existence! 

wayne may find your pets

29

We who’s got the holiday spirit and who’s just tricked into making the house less drafty, Welcome Back Kotter becomes relevant almost 50 years later, and we discuss a man who MAY instantly become a household name! 

Rocks That Eat Watermelon and a Necessary Timestamp

26

Picking up where we left off with some strange stories, the guys may have pushed the envelope too far this time. Damon needs to look different and smell better, Big Mac "one ups" with a deeper/darker tunnel than was ever imagined, and Ted institutes a whole new level of "timestamping"! 

DIY, a Steve Swap, and Edible Blankets

16

The guys discuss the whole “home flipping” show craze, the ideal husband swap, and Ted has his first business idea basically glossed over by Damon’s affliction for waffles.

An Entrepreneurial Mastermind at Work

11

The guys are amazed by Damon’s entrepreneurial vision, Ted skipped breakfast and is boycotting jello, and Big Mac keeps chickens in complete darkness! Tune in, subscribe, and tell your friends!

I'm Just Saying

Pilot

Damon and Ted sit down for the (technically) inaugural "That Checks Out" Podcast. Ignore that first bit where they talk about the name of the podcast being "I'm Just Saying." Damon is a narcissist.
