Episode 35 – Mo Fathelbab on Chris Rock – Bigger and Blacker

Posted on by
Listening to Chris Rock’s “Bigger and Blacker” is, according to this week’s guest, listening to someone at the top of their game.  It’s hard to argue with.  It’s a strange mix of standup and sketch, but Chris Rock manages to make it work, turning a whole lot of people (like myself) around.  Before this, I knew him mostly as the guy with some guest spots on “In Living Color.”  After this, I got it.
This week’s guest is Mo Fathelbab.  He runs NerdMelt – Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist Theater at Meltdown Comics – and is the co-creator of “Nerdterns,” a new webseries coming to the Nerdist Channel in August/September.  He sat down with me in the back of NerdMelt to talk about this album and his comedy influences.  A fun time was had by both.  Mostly me.

Episode 34 – Zero Mostel Sings Songs My Mother Never Sang – With Jeremy Guskin!

Posted on by

If that cover doesn’t say it all, I don’t know if we’ll be able to do it justice.  This is a “bargain bin” episode, where I find a rare or odd album and just wing it with a regular or guest.  This week, the wonderful Jeremy Guskin talks with me about a mutual favorite.  Zero Mostel was a genius in a lot of ways, none of which were necessarily singing.  That said, he manages to carry this awesome novelty album by at least being able to carry a tune.  He just was not a guy you could put in front of a microphone or camera and expect normalcy.  It would make no sense.  This is one I would definitely seek out, though you can’t get it on anything but vinyl.
