This week, Dan and Jay talk about the second of their trips to Cooperstown and Milford, New York. For five years, they recorded their mini-trips in various formats, and in 1999, they took some pictures to accompany their crappy dictaphone. We’ve uploaded the first two as videos to our Y

Craig Rowin of Your Pretty Face is Going To Hell drops by (and so do I, this was “on location” in Hollywood) to talk about Weird Al’s perfectly-timed “Off The Deep End.” Now, before you write me an e-mail about this being a CD-era album, I’d advise you to go to the Netherlands. Where they released this album on vinyl, apparently. Craig squeaked it, but I’m glad he did. This has one of my all-time top Weird Al songs, and we had a blast talking about (individually) meeting Weird Al, as well as, in his case, working with him.

This episode was recorded on Dan’s actual birthday so that Jay and Ari could tell Dan what his big birthday present is. Jay also decides to blow the lid on a present he refuses to let Dan open. The video we discuss is Dan’s 20th birthday cartoon, part of an entire tape Jay made for Dan to celebrate his birthday at his surprise party, that year. Also, yes, the homophobia is ironic, especially given the nicknames Dan and Jay would frequently be pelted with at school.

It’s not often you get to talk to someone about playing their own father in a movie. In 1992, that’s exactly what Rob did, for a cameo in “Heart and Souls.” We discuss how that came about this week, as big fans of his dad, but we also discuss his own introduction to comedy by the likes of Richard Pryor and George Carlin, the former passed down from his father. The album we’re holding isn’t discussed in this episode, but we are holding it for a reason – it has the first recorded mention of Rob’s name, in track one of side 2, in which Bob talks about becoming a father.

This week, Dan and Jay talk about being possibly the only two humans to ever actually take advantage of the “mosaic” setting on their VHS camera for any creative means, as well as rock operas and Geddy Lee’s place as Canada’s Santa Claus.

On Sunday, August 2nd at IOWest, we helped kick off The 13th Annual Los Angeles Improv Comedy Festival with a tribute to Robin Williams, with Robin’s close friend, Rick Overton, and special guests Josia Elliott and Jamie Costa. Josia’s a big Robin fan, and if you haven’t seen Jamie’s moving tributes to Robin in the form of impressions, you should go here: youtu.be/Shg53iv4B9o
We had a wonderful time talking about Robin, his work, and getting a little sidetracked about impressions. But it wouldn’t be a tribute to that great mind if we weren’t a little all over the place

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.

In 1996, Jay got bored at AO Fox Memorial Hospital and re-created (ish) the trailer to Star Trek: First Contact.

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.
