Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 145 – Christopher Bay on Shelley Berman – Inside Shelley Berman

Every once in awhile, because of this show, I’m fortunate enough to meet an official archivist for a legend.  This week, I talk with Christopher Bay, who is the archivist for not only Shelley Berman, but for Woody Woobdury.  Christopher talks about his experiences with Shelley, including discovering him and imitating him from a young age.  We do talk a bit about this, Shelley’s first album, but it’s pretty all-inclusive, especially with this episode’s final clip – a rarity, courtesy Christopher himself.

Dan and Jay’s Comedy Hour Podcast Episode 49 – Micro-Brew-Penis

DJCH_049_SD

Dan and Jay discuss an early “fake history” sketch, improvised in Jay’s barn attic in 2001.  Dan plays what would become his fictional grandfather, Dan “Bloody Stump(s)” Gomiller.  Jay also discusses his other-worldly experience with hard root beer, one he doesn’t intend to duplicate, considering the fever dreams that resulted.

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 144 – Justin Michael on The Muppets – The Muppet Show Album

JustinMichael_SD

He co-hosts the Before You Were Funny podcast and Batman: The Animated Podcast.  Turns out, he’s also the first person to bring The Muppets to the show.  Another surprise first turns out to be a brilliant piece of work, especially given that we’re supposed to imagine animated felt for 45 minutes.  Not only are the voice characterizations typically great, but the sound design and the joke choices are spot-on, especially the kind you need to see for full effect.  It really holds up as it’s own piece of comedy work outside of The Muppet Show itself, and was a lot of fun to talk about.

Dan and Jay’s Comedy Hour Podcast Episode 48 – Head Camera

 

To celebrate Daler Mehndi coming to America, it’s time to talk about our follow up video to our first Daler Mehndi tribute.  This time, in Ishq Da Charkha, Dan plays a musketeer, an old man, Indiana Jones and himself.  Oddly, this time, robot talk comes up, yet again.

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 143 – Eban Schletter on Spike Jones – Thank You Music Lovers

Schletter_600

Podcast listeners will know the sounds of his nimble fingers from the background of many a Paul F. Tompkins podcast, and sketch comedy fans will know his music from Mr. Show.  Eban Schletter is not only a great musical improviser, but a guy who maybe, sort of, fell into comedy as a genre.  Although, on reflection, it kind of seems inevitable.  In this episode, we talk about how Eban’s dad introduced him to Spike Jones at the age of 21, and how that may or may not have changed his career trajectory.

Dan and Jay’s Comedy Hour Podcast Episode 47 – Mustard, Inc.

DJCH_047

This week, the hilarious Allen Rueckert joins us to discuss our first feature film, “Looking Forward.”  While it doesn’t say “Dan and Jay’s Comedy Hour” on it anywhere, there are DJCH clips (some of which you’re already familiar with) in it, because it’s based on Dan and my actual childhoods, if only loosely.  Also, Maury Povich gets a credit.  That kinda seals the deal.

Allen had almost no time to prepare and, while the film is entirely improvised, he still became the glue of the whole project.  Without his character, the story doesn’t make sense, and without his sincerity, the

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 142 – Janet Varney on Albert Brooks – Comedy Minus One

Janet Varney stops by her own home to delve into Albert Brooks’ classic “Comedy Minus One” for our second go-round with this album.  This time, we get a picture of an entirely new experience – namely, someone who grew up without the script to the act-along segment!  This made for an e
