Taking your excursion and topping it. Dead Skunk is forever in my heart. I remember it playing on the radio over and over while we drove through California. We had a lake house in the mountains so it took hours to get there. My dad was totally punchy from driving and would turn it up and sing. As little kids, my sisters and I thought it …
Taking your excursion and topping it. Dead Skunk is forever in my heart. I remember it playing on the radio over and over while we drove through California. We had a lake house in the mountains so it took hours to get there. My dad was totally punchy from driving and would turn it up and sing. As little kids, my sisters and I thought it was the funniest thing in the world... side note: Kimmel has a podcast called “Strike Force Five”with the other late night comedians. Super funny. I suggest starting with Ep. 2 or later but definitely Ep.5 then 7. So so good.
Oh that’s a crazy story! I think that’s the vasectomy episode too? I can’t remember. I’ve listened to 5 at least 4 times. A delightful train wreck ahead if you’re going in order. I’m thrilled you actually listened! I hope you’re enjoying it! I adore Letterman but kind of faded off in that episode. I’ll finish them soon.
I've always been a huge late night fan. As a kid peeking around the corner to catch Johnny Carson...then Buddy Rich would come to Mason City, IA, and the Count Basie Band to the Surf in Clear Lake. My dad was working the day the music died as a bouncer at a place called The Shady Beach. Anyway, always liked them all, but had the opportunity to go to several Kimmel shows. First, Buffalo Chicken, shots & beer at Hooter's, and then off to the show. Sat in front and bantered with Robin Williams during a break, got the "stink-eye" from the Producer once, because my friend & wouldn't shut up. Alyson Janney, The Gronk, Velvet Revolver, Morgan Spurlock, MJB the night before the Grammy's...Mr. Warner & I had quite a blast. Even got to see Uncle Frank. It bothers me to read the hate & distain for these folks, and recently I'm lobbying for TV to instill a new rating system, "YMSTS" (You may see T.S.) to warn people that Taylor Swift may show up on a camera today. YMSTS-G to YMSTS- XXX, ranging from "it probably won't happen" -- except for possibly (1) "damn", but definitely not one "shit" to full-blown, Clockwork Orange forced Picture-in-Picture embedded screen of an "in-booth" camera where you can not escape the soul-shredding entity only known as Taylor Swift. Only those who made through the original Exorcist in the early 70's MAY be able to handle it. That's crazy!! Our friend Sean Whelan does tele-prompting (we were all buds before he got the gigs since his family goes way back doing this for all the major shows). I can see him unplugging shit to plug in his phone!! That's sound about right....OMG. YGTBSM....the baseball story; my brother gave me a baseball signed by the 1980 KC Royals (he was pro at Lakewood Oaks CC); me, the dummy, used that ball to shape my baseball glove. Well, the oil ruined it -- George Brett, Dan Quisenberry, Hal McRae and on... i'm an idiot.
No- you’re great. I’m hanging in here with you. It’s fun to be passionate about stuff and I definitely get the love of comedy. I’m jealous you have it so good! I’ve been pretty lucky in HTown with the Comedy Workshop and then the Laff Stop. I too defied my bedtime and peeked around the corner at Carson and Letterman. I was really tired at school!
Thank you, let's say, had it...4X bypass, and a reality check does some things to curb your enthusiasm. Still look to get back out there again to see friends & family. My peer group has mostly passed away, and those who haven't are...growing up? IDK...most of us on the Baby Boomer/GenX cusp feel similar would imagine.
Most def...lol, jk; wow, I hit OC in the mid-90's just when No Doubt was Spiderwebbing. "I've been in court for the majority of 20 yrs..." uh oh...oh, phew!! Either way, I don't judge.
I love fish, and eat all my veggies. Checking out yesterday at the HY-VEE, the guy says to me...that's a lot of chicken...I went "ba-kah!"...i say, I'm chicken man. He had no idea, so I had to 'splain it to him. He just did know what to do or if there was hidden camera somewhere. It was late, so there was no line.
So, you HAVE strenuously objected at some point in your life...awesome.
There is someone who never made it to corporate-captured Late Night broadcasting but thrived in Public Access net-casting & community radio Late Night with his ParaSongs, parodies of the times using singable songs already made famous and jukebox-worthy (sometimes only Hydrogen Jukebox worthy!)
That would be co-founder of the infamous FUGS, namely Tuli Kupferberg, Z"L
Search on U. of Tube and other lower-down-the-monopoly-hole of search engines to find Tuli K.'s Kafka-esque greatest misses cuz he couldn't tolerate a "hit." Quite a character that may vanish without a trace or be etched in non-worthy programming and for his books of verse, also the serious kind aside from his hobby of ParaSongs........Not to mention those Fugs albums back when da deal went down in da East Village....
Tuli was a productive worker producing laughs of all varieties to the ripe ol' age of 86 when he appropriately got 86'd from this mortal coil. He tried as an understandably frustrated yoot in Brooklyn to do himself in by jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, but he got fished out and revived in a city hospital.
Thanks to Bill Weinberg of Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade and WW3 on WBAI the Pacifica Community Radio station in Nueva Jork for keeping Tuli's memory at the vanguard and alively thriving on pirate radio waves coast to coast...........
Most appreciatively another listener under da covers...
Health and balance
Keep on doing & Columbo searching\sharing pirate's booty of da deep John Snyder!
You two really take a girl into the rabbit hole of Wow! When I get a beat, I’ll look into this Kafka-Tuli. This is nothing I’ve ever heard of? but I’m caught up with you on Columbo. Columbo is chicken soup for everyone- but especially a guy with a 4x bypass surgery. It’s a very calming show. I adore it. (Pssst, John! Chicken soup!)

Thx, I'll check it out
(and to be clear 5 is the setup for 7 basically. It’s fun)
ok...got it...thx...lol--- crystal; I've been waiting to strenuously object to someone...at some point
I can handle it :)
Listening to (4) now to find out why Batman wanted to kill somebody...yikes
