Show notes

This week I talk to Jimmy Dore, a very funny, political comedian and radio personality. We have a smart, funny discussion about his recent book,"Your Country is Just Not That Into You." We discuss our politcal system, and how the media, government, and banks have been slowly ruining the American economy. We also get into his start in Comedy, what makes for good and bad comedy and comedy clubs and alot more. Jimmy is so great in this interview because he shows how he uses his comedy to really make some killer, smart points about everything under the sun.

Carnie Wilson Jul 20, 2016

Show notes

Carnie Wilson. Founding member of the chart-topper band "Wilson Phillips", talk show host, and daughter of "Beach Boy" Brian Wilson. Carnie is amazing; really funny, poignant, and a little nutty! This conversation runs the gambit - from talking about forming her band and creating music, to finding her musical genius father in the pool with all his clothes on with "The Who's" Keith Moon, to recording her farts and playing them for us! You have to hear how this podcast ends. Hilarious!

Anthony Cumia Jun 29, 2016

Show notes

Anthony Cumia. Host of "The Anthony Cumia Show" and formerly of the hugely popular Opie & Anthony Show. We talk about his days on Opie & Anthony, my being on that show as a guest, the fun we had and some of the stupid but hilarious pranks we did (you have to listen to hear what they were). He has a great story about how he and Opie came together, what got the show canceled at one point and ulimately what got him fired from the show. And he can't stop thinking about Catheters when he watches Fox News. Anthony is funny and very revealing in this sit-down that is a great listen for his hard-core and casual fans alike.

Paul Reiser Jun 28, 2016

Show notes

Emmy and Golden Globe Winning Comedian, Actor, Paul Reiser. Paul is a comic legend. He created and starred in the huge hit, "Mad About You." Paul has a fascinating story about how "Mad About You" was created, his efforts to make the show as realistic as possible, and some really funny stories about acting opposite Emmy and Golden Globe Winning actress Helen Hunt. This is a great look behind the scenes of an iconic show. Paul also has great stories about starting stand up in NYC with Jerry Seinfeld and Larry Miller and what is was like being one of the major comics during the comedy boom of the late 70s and 80s. It's a really cool look into that world from one of the 3 biggest comedians working at that time.

Bill Burr Jun 22, 2016

Show notes

Comedian Bill Burr. My friend Bill has one of the most astute, original and well-honed comedic points of view of any comedian today. We talk his hilarious animated show "F is for Family" on Netflix, politics, why people can suck at times, our beloved New England Patriots (he's from Boston and I'm from Rhode Island), his start in comedy working in NYC, and more. This is Bill at his best, unrestrained and funny as hell.

A once-in-a-lifetime interview with the greatest and most influential songwriter/musician the world has ever seen. This interview is all about Sir Paul's creative life and work, how he writes songs, life early on starting out as a Beatle (he has great stories about being on the road with no money when the Beatles were young lads starting out), how the Beatles wrote together, and how and why the Beatles were able to constantly create and try new sounds and approaches with their music.

A brilliant actor, Bryan talks about, "Breaking Bad," his latest film "Trumbo," and the era of blacklisting in Hollywood, how his difficult childhood coming from a broken home led him to feel "lost," and how acting helped him find direction in his life and much more.
