Episode 84 – Rocky Mountain Mike on Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America, Vol 1: The Early Years

Posted on by

RockyMountain Mike

Rocky Mountain Mike (aka Mike Hardeman) has been creating political satire for years.  He began (as a lot of us did) recording himself and his friends creating comedy as kids.  He eventually moved into radio, and after an impressive back catalog, has finally released his first album of political satire, “Politically Incoherent.”  Mike wanted to discuss “Stan Freberg Presents the United States of America, Vol 1: The Early Years,” so we finally got the chance to put some Freberg on the internet air.  It was a lot of fun.

It’s the Rusty Warren interview, part 2!  No clips (except at the end) so you can get a better feel for the conversation we had.  It was amazing, and I can’t stop going on about what an incredible honor this was for Mike and myself.  Because it was.  Amazing stuff.

Baby Episode 7 – Music to Shave By – Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Rosemary Clooney and The Hi-Los

Posted on by

musictoshaveby_bothWe do have a regular episode coming this week – Part 2 of the Rusty Warren interview, in fact!  But to hold you over, here’s a find from an estate sale this weekend.  According to the record itself – a paper pull-out from a 1959 issue of Look magazine – this is the “first hi-fi recording to ever be included in a national magazine.”  How true is it?  Not sure.  But it’s great to hear Bing sing about wanting a double chin.

Episode 82 – Rusty Warren – Part 1

Posted on by

RustyWarren_Part1

It’s finally here – our interview with comedy legend Rusty Warren.  Queen of the party album, progressive thinker, wonderful singer and all-around wonderful comedian.  In a time where sex in comedy meant being blue for the sake of it, Rusty turned it and made it a conversation piece.  Not just in dens around the country, not just in the earphones of her at-home listener, but right there in the face of her live audience.  She asked the women to play along so that sex, and laughing about it, were not exclusive to men.  In this first of two parts, Rusty talks about how she got started – and not just as an entertainer – and about what the comedy scene was like when she was coming up.  She’s amazing.  Listen close, and stay tuned for part 2.

Episode 81 – Eric Martin on Doctor Demento Presents the 1960s

Posted on by

Martin 2Eric Martin (host of This American Wife) is back!  It’s a two-peat, which isn’t a thing at all.  Finally, someone picks Dr. Demento – specifically “Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Novelty Records of All Time, Vol. 3: 1960’s.”  Couldn’t fit all that into a handy title.  We talk about the good Doctor’s picks and the influence this album and what I can only assume to be a Walkman with the auto-reverse function had on him.

Episode 80 – Matt Saxe on George and Ira Gershwin – Of Thee I Sing

For the first time, I get to talk with one of my best friends, and my only Best Man, Matt Saxe on the podcast.  To cross over a bit to our pet project, the comedic historical documentary “Vice-Precedence: Being Number Two in the White House,” Matt picked a piece by the Gershwins that features one of the only musical portrayals of a Vice President we can think of – in the musical “Of Thee I Sing.”

We also talk about comic book t-shirts.

Episode 76 – John Dimaggio on George Carlin – Class Clown

Posted on by

John DimaggioThis week, the Bender head comes off the bookshelf for the man behind the shiny metal ass.  John DiMaggio is not only the voice of Bender, and of Jake on Adventure Time, but he’s also a huge Carlin fan.  We sat down and talked a mutual favorite album, Class Clown, and I had the good fortune to watch and hear him imitate Carlin.  Amazing stuff.  John’s also the producer and narrator of the new documentary “I Know That Voice,” about almost every voice actor you’ve ever heard.  I Know that Voice will be on demand from December 1-21st, and available on iTunes starting January 7, 2014.

Oh, and in this episode, I also come up with an idea for the greatest a capella group ever.

Jack Dolgen has created the music for a ton of music and TV shows you’ve doubtless seen, and he’s also co-writer/co-producer on many of Rachel Bloom’s music.  I wanted to get the other mind behind “Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury” to sit down and talk about his influences.  Lucky for me, he picked my heroes.
