Episode 161 – Julia Prescott on Weird Al – Mandatory Fun

PrescottSD

Julia is a stand-up and the host of the Simpsons podcast “Everything’s Coming Up Podcast!” and she decided to do something unusual.  She picked an album only a year old – the newest vinyl album we’ve ever talked about on the show.  Weird Al’s Mandatory Fun, regardless of age, is classic Al, so that’s more than enough reason to talk about it at length.  We also discuss his live shows, what a nice guy is – all the usual stuff.

Episode 160 – Josh Mills on Edie Adams – Music to Listen to Records By

Episode160_SD

The full, actual title of this gem is “Music to Listen to Records By – Edie Adams Sings?”  A woman after my own heart, with one of the great, absurd record titles of all time, and using punctuation in the title (my first sketch comedy group, which still exists, was originally called “Dan and Jay’s Komedy? Hour”) Edie uses her considerable musical talents to sound like an amateur in more than a few of these songs.  Her son, Josh Mills, returned to talk about this rarity, in which Edie does a ton of timely impressions for 1959, the most recognizable of which might now be Marilyn Monroe.  If you put this album on in the background, it might take you a full listen before you realized what you had.  Sure, it looks silly, but it doesn’t scream “comedy,” and it’s that subtlety that makes it so great.

Episode 159 – Billy West on Jonathan Winters – Another Day, Another World

BillyWestSD

I’ve spoken to some of the great minds in comedy on this show.  And yes, I count Jeremy Guskin among them.  But when I told Jeremy that Billy West was doing the show, his reaction was the same as mine.  Billy West is a hero to both of us, and, speaking personally, easily my biggest voice over hero of all time.  Billy sat down with us kindly for over two hours and we talked Jonathan Winters, comedy, voice over, coping with anxiety, and a number of other topics that all interweave and relate in one of the most stream-of-consciousness episodes we’ve ever done.  This episode is a reason to continue to ignore the “never meet your heroes” advice.
