Tyrants In Training Episode 17 -Judge Cindy Begel : The Naboo People Versus Cedric Gegel

Seventeenth episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is actor, screenwriter, director, youtuber Cedric Gegel on trial for his tyrannical ways in episode 5. Today's second guest is the unimpeachable, . stupendous and fair judge, TV writer and producer Cindy Begel 

 

The former M.C.P, the Most Celebrated Pomp of the Mediterranean island of Naboo, Cedric Gegel has been caught, put in a clown suit and brought into Cindy Begel's court. His crime? Abusing his power, spying on citizens who enjoy Shakespeare and maliciously destroying the mind of a beloved public servant. #Justice4Brian

Today's podcast is the trial. Cedric spinelessly defending himself and me, Kevin, heroically leading the prosecution team. Cedric will claim Brian is an "inept moron" who tried to start a war with Switzerland. Cedric will claim he knows nothing of a secret spying network the prosecution team randomly suggests might be real. Cedric will definitely be a much more polished speaker than Kevin BUT Judge Cindy immediately declares she doesn't trust actors. So the prosecution team might have a chance at winning this case!

Enjoy!  #CedricGeJail

Tyrants In Training Episode 15 - Detective Celine Laing

Episode 15 is a little different since I've an injury that means it's hard to sit down and edit. 

 

So this is a recording of my fiancee Celine Laing as Detective Celine Laing, hostage negotiator (wait does that mean she negotiates with hostages? She actually negotiates with the hostage takers!)

 

Det. Celine Laing is called in to rescue 100 hostages from an abandoned spam factory, her being specifically requested for by the hostage takers who are from her past.

 

Honestly this episode could be a mess. Let's hope not.

If your knife is stolen then Dame Denise will buy you a new knife. If you need a new job Dame Denise will give you a loan worth half a million too.

Wise words from a wise Dame.

Tyrants In Training Episode 10 - Nikoline Bangen in the Zombie Apocalypse

Tenth and final episode of Season One of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is actress Nikoline Bangen. 

An unfortunate editing mishap by the host has caused a zombie plague to be unleashed on Norway. Thankfully Nikoline, with a vast knowledge of government buildings and their decor, is on hand to lead a group of 100 survivors who just so happened to be on tour near her house. With 40 survivors over the age of 80 (including 91 year old pregnant former sailor Sarah) Nikoline quickly figures out the best shelter for them. A few days in this government building and then they can journey to the nearby docks where they can find a boat to sail out in search of a safe island.  

However, as zombies surround the building, tempers flair amongst survivors due to a heated arm wrestling contest for the use of their only mattress. Added to this dilemma is the arrival of tyrannical soldier Laurence and his men. Nikoline must keep the peace between two groups of survivors and convince them they need to get ready for the journey to the docks. 

Can Nikoline keep her survivors, which include ex MMA trainee and mattress enthusiast Mark, quiet guy Nor Wayne and my mother Hannah, alive? Will Nikoline help Laurence find the 12th in line to the Norwegian throne? Listen to find out.

 

 

Tyrants In Training Episode 9 - Those Four Misfits: the Alpha’s of Misfitopia

Ninth episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest are improv comedy group - Those Four Misfits: Doug Kayne, Jane Hopkins and Ryan Provencher.

Also known as The Alpha's of Misfitopia. Just so you know which Tyrant is which, Alpha Alpha is Doug, Alpha Beta is Jane and Alpha Gamma is Ryan. However if you ask Alpha Beta then Ryan is Alpha Alpha but if you ask Ryan or Doug then Doug is Alpha Alpha. Don't worry, it somehow works!

Having gained control of the island from former leader, Reginald Humbug, the trio of tyrants have been busy with foreign policies such as attacking dangerous insects in Australia, bombing Hamburg and starring in Sesame Street. Of course on the domestic front, many scandals have engulfed the tyrannical administration. Scandals most likely to start when Alpha Alpha utters the phrase "If I may". He has been demoted many times so it really depends on the day whether Alpha Alpha is Alpha Delta, Alpha Epsilon or Alpha Omega. 

Misfitopia, a beautiful nation, not only initiates a world first "Free Coke" scheme for the world but is also the only country to become mobile, running proudly from the forceful U.N who are chasing them after the trio blindsided a world leader with an impromptu steel cage match. 

Tyrants In Training Episode 8 - Terri Viani: Captain of Winter

Follow the podcast at it's own website: https://tyrant-in-training.podcastpage.io/

Eight episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is Screenwriter Terri Viani.

Also known as The Captain of Winter. An island north of Alaska with spectacular scenery and boasting, for some strange reason, the highest emigration in the world! People really do love to join the country of Winter and then quickly realize that it is far too cold. 

For anyone who wants to live here, expect to take an advanced common sense test to see if you got what it takes to live in this frozen paradise. If you don't know how to cut down trees for fire, or fish for food then really this place may not be for you. But if you do, great! Winter provides financial support to anyone joining the country. 

It also boasts a wonderful chocolate industry thanks to the Captain taking bribes from the chocolate tycoons to keep their taxes low. That might be a scandal but nobody cares, that chocolate is really good. Unfortunately, the Captain still has to answer for "Thick-Eejit-Gate" which is a serious issue!

Captain Terri handles criticism of her country by lashing out at the "government of Scandinavia" calling them shifty and promising to produce concrete evidence of what they are up to.
