Of course, the full title is “How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You’re Not Anywhere at All,” and it’s one of the great Firesign albums. One half Firesign fever dream, and the other half a long-form Nick Danger adventure, this is the first album that ever exposed Firesign to me as a kid who totally didn’t get it. It would be awhile before I delved back into Firesign, and it took the good Mr. Phil Hendrie to come back to this album in particular. We talk Firesign, his other influences, the evolution of radio, and we deconstruct some comedy, for lack of a better word.

Joseph Scrimshaw is back! And this time, we do something I’ve been waiting to do a long time on this show – let the guest pick from the archive and we both listen to it, fresh. This week, we listen to one of two comedy albums (in the same year) by “The Human Joke Machine,” Morey Amsterdam. Perhaps best known as Buddy on The Dick Van Dyke Show, here he rattles off joke after joke in a variety of strange, fun little songs, and we pick it apart.
