Episode 109 – Paul Provenza on Robert Klein – Mind Over Matter

Posted on by

ProvenzaThe host of “The Green Room with Paul Provenza” and “Set List” here in LA, sits down with me to talk about Robert Klein.  Not only is this a slice of the 1970’s, it’s Klein’s progressive voice without entitlement, but with a heavy degree of acceptance that being progressive is just the way it is.  We also discuss Paul’s first time on stage – at a Robert Klein show.  That story is worth the whole hour.

Episode 108 – Andres du Bouchet on The SNL Cast Album

Posted on by

dubouchetAndrés du Bouchet is not only a hilarious stand up, but he writes for the funniest guy ever – Conan.  We talk about a number of albums this episode, but the big one is the SNL Cast Album.  Though I didn’t have it in hand the day of, the clips you’re hearing in this episode are from a vinyl rip.  Go check out his comedy, watch Conan, and definitely listen to this album.  I’ve put almost all of one sketch at the end, because its (for me) the greatest sketch on there, and one of my favorites of all time.

Episode 106 – Mark McConville on This Is Spinal Tap – The Soundtrack

Posted on by

McConvilleMark McConville is now the second member of the Superego team to drop by Fort Awesome Studios, and we cover a mutual favorite album – the soundtrack to This Is Spinal Tap.  It’s always a special pleasure to not only cut in music clips, but to speak to the musically educated and skilled about mixing music and comedy.   Mark was awesome, and so is special guest Eilon Paz, author of the book “Dust & Grooves,” which chronicles his interviews with fascinating vinyl collectors – his interview is after the closing the theme as a bonus.

Episode 105 – Dave Waite on George Carlin – A Place for My Stuff

Posted on by

Dave WaiteDave Waite‘s comedy album Hotdoggin’ comes out tomorrow, August 12th on Stand Up! Records.  Today, he talks about one of his favorite albums, chosen at random from a few contenders – George Carlin’s A Place for My Stuff, which was a ton of fun to revisit.  Stand up mixed with sketch is hard to do right, and while Carlin does, it’s easy to see why few people have done it right since – namely, it’s hard to be that brilliant as a stand up and then also spend the time to translate your unique voice into sketch.  Awesome stuff.

On a sad note, the world lost Robin Williams today.  Listen toward the end for two clips from my favorite Robin Williams film, Good Morning, Vietnam.

Episode 104 – Elan Mastai on The McKenzie Bros – The Great White North

Posted on by

Elan Mastai
His film What If?, starring Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan opens in limited theatres today, and nationwide Friday, August 15.  Elan Mastai is Canadian, and isn’t afraid to change his accent to subvert the US and take it over.  Again, his film opens today.

He also picked an awesome, self-referential, super-meta comedy album from 1981 – Bob and Doug McKenzie’s (aka Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas) “The Great White North.”  It’s a piece of punk comedy that, like all successful punk things, got super popular.  Unlike some punk, though, this still has legs.  Enjoy, and check out What If?

Episode 103 – Matt Gourley on Monty Python – The Final Rip Off

Posted on by

GourleyOne-quarter sketch group, one-quarter country band, 2 quarters comedy enthusiast, Matt Gourley joins us this week to talk about Monty Python’s The Final Rip Off, an important album for both of us.  We talk improv, sketch, and specifically Monty Python’s influence on his work with the amazing podcast/improv-sketch group Superego, which you probably already know comes back September 1st with new episodes and with additional Paul F. Tompkins’s.  I had a blast talking about this great double-album, which, while yet another compilation, might be the ultimate packing-in of the best of Monty Python, in terms of what works as audio-only sketch comedy.

Episode 33 – Live! With David Anthony Higgins and James Urbaniak on The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief

Posted on by

I will remember Memorial Day 2012 as a night of nerddom.  Look at that picture.  Even Jeremy is wearing thick-rimmed glasses in spirit.  This week, we talk with two of my favorite character actors of all time, David Anthony Higgins and James Urbaniak.  Jeremy is one of those, too, but he’s too much of a regular to really emphasize.  That’s a lie – I was so busy being amazed, Jeremy does most of the talking.

This is just an amazing, insane album from the gents at Monty Python with a HIDDEN SIDE to it.  It will go down in history simply for having two tracks side-by-side, so designed that the listener was likely to hear something different each time, causing innumerable aneurysms.  It gives us the best version of the Cheese Shop sketch, and it also was originally packaged as the free gift with an actual matching tie and handkerchief.  You don’t get albums-as-art anymore, so it’s a treasure.
