The Jerry Springer Podcast — News
The Jerry Springer Podcast

The Jerry Springer Podcast: Tales, Tunes and Tomfoolery is a weekly mix of comedy, liberal political talk and roots music performed by up and coming song writers and groups. Jerry is joined by Jene Galvin and Megan Hils as they compare their dissimilar lives, convo about events of the day and occasionally welcome a phone guest, some real and others you wonder. Like State Senator Tip Kemper, who recently proposed a literacy bill requiring citizens to read a book a month and submit a written report to the government at the post office. But in the middle of each episode, Jerry shows his serious side with a unique take on a current political or social issue drawing from his years as Cincinnati’s mayor and top ranked news anchor. Performed before a small audience at the Folk School Coffee Parlor in Ludlow, Kentucky, The Jerry Springer Podcast is live streamed at jerrryspringer.com and Facebook Live and archived on the podcast’s website and all major podcast apps.

Episode 206: Was the Mueller Report the Biggest Story of the Year? Apr 02, 2019

Show notes

We commemorate Jerry’s becoming Judge Jerry and the start of production of his new show with the awarding of “The Gavel.” Maria will present it, the one she now uses to open our podcast with the rapping of the gavel and saying, “All rise. Judge Jerry Springer.”

Jene reads a listener email that suggests he get his own TV show called “Clean Jene the Hiking Machine,” a show about outdoor clothing styles. The catch line of the new show will be, “It’s always better to look good out on the trail than to feel good.” We then talk about the time we pitched to MTV a show called “Celebrity Substitute.”

Democratic Candidates Won't Debate on Fox News Mar 26, 2019

Show notes

We open with the 'Rock Jerry's Face" commercial that's taking the internet by storm.

Jene suggests we all go to Mt. Rushmore this summer to ask people there if they’d like Jerry’s face to be added “up there.” We ask Maria if she can, in fact, help Jerry when he’ll be harnessed to the wall as artisans view his features while chiseling his face on the mountain. Jerry's not feeling very good about the prospect.

Jene reads an email from an unnamed government staffer directing us to stop this irreverent proposal.

Jene recalls first meeting Maria when she was playing a gig. Jene also claims to be part of the creative class. We'll get back to you on that...

Jerry's rant: Democrats say they will not hold debates on Fox News.

Pelosi Says Trump Not Worth Impeaching - EP 204 Mar 19, 2019

Show notes

Jene got a colonoscopy recently (they’re recommended for people 40 and over, and Jene's finally made it), and he got a weird question before the procedure by the attending nurse.

We do a quick update of the Rock Jerry’s Face movement and wonder how we can shut it down.

Jerry recently did media hits for his new show. We’ll ask about it.

Have any of you seen the PBS documentary, which ran again last week during their fund drive, called “Alone in the Wilderness?”

Jerry’s rant: Nancy Pelosi Says Donald Trump Isn’t Worth Impeaching Because it Could Be Too “Divisive”.

And changing things up a bit, this week we have Comedian Zach Wycuff. Funny guy.

White Supremacist Coast Guard Officer Planned Terrorist Attack - EP 203 Mar 12, 2019

Show notes

We open with the playing of the Elevator Comics commercial.

Jerry and Jene describe how we’re now reduced to performing our elevator comic routine with tip jars in the corners of elevators since hotels have all dropped our contracts. But then to add to our misery, while rogue busking in a 5 star in NYC, we got heckled by a woman on one of our elevator rides.

While in Jerry’s old neighborhood, Kew Gardens, in Queens, we saw with our wives a commemorative plaque for Rodney Dangerfield, who also grew up there (a friend of Jerry’s). Why is there not one for Jerry?

Jene says clearly Jerry might have to pose for the mountain sculptors on the mountain daily as they chisel his face in Rushmore. , Since Maria's a skilled rock climber, she will be on the rock face with Jerry to calm him with songs and bring him his lunches.

Jerry’s rant: Coast Guard, White Supremacy officer planned terrorist attack.

Could Trump Still Skate After The Mueller Report? - EP 202 Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

We open with a commercial from the Rock Jerry’s Face group promoting getting his likeness chiseled onto the rock of Mt. Rushmore.

Then Jene explains that the Rock Jerry’s Face movement is getting out of control. Jene, though he isn’t driving this, is figuring out whom to contact at the National Park Service concerning the process for adding the face of another American leader. Jene then reads two emails from listeners, one supporting the cause, another blistering the idea.

Jerry's still concerned that folks will think they should throw rocks at his face.

Then Jerry offers his take on whether President Trump could somehow still get off the hook once the Mueller Report is released. He's pretty sure it will be made public, but Trump's history shows him getting away with a lot of 'stuff'.

Democratic Socialists and the Democratic Party - EP 201 Feb 26, 2019

Show notes

Jene offers an update on the 'Rock Jerry's Face' movement.

We discuss the request from the Queen City Balladeers (oldest folk music organization in Cincinnati) to have us (Jerry, Jene, Maria and Casey) perform as a formal group at an upcoming Sunday night at Leo Coffee House. What do we all think?

Jene says that the recent death of his mother in law spawned thoughts about whether he should be buried, cremated or to donate his remains to science. And if cremated, where should his ashes be spread, I know all of our deaths are many lifetimes away, but it’s never too early to ponder the green solution to our mortal remains.

Jerry’s rant: Will the democratic socialists movement grow in the democratic party, and should it?

Jerry's Take on the Virginia Blackface Scandal - EP 200 Feb 19, 2019

Show notes

OMG, a website is up (rockjerrysface.com) where people are signing a petition to put Jerry’s face on the rock of Mt. Rushmore. We discuss.

The idea of Judge Jerry officiating marriages is catching on, as is the concept of people coming before him to renew their marriage vowels. Jene and Bonnie would like to get on the list. Unfortunately, Bonnie doesn’t usually come to podcasts, so is it possible to do it over Facebook Live or on the phone? And will Jerry’s role in this be as effective as when he once filed a legal land deed for Jene and Bonnie in Clermont County, Ohio?

Jerry’s rant: The Virginia blackface scandal.

Jerry's Take on the Government Shutdown - EP 199 Feb 12, 2019

Show notes

Email from Charlott Fanning, from Laramie, Wyoming, who is starting a group with a crowd funding website to lobby for and pay for adding Jerry’s head to Mount Rushmore.

Jerry recalls his motorcycle days where again, he was special having three wheels instead of just two.

Can we have an official swearing in of Jerry as judge, right here on our show? And since we’re now calling Jerry, Judge Jerry, can Jene be his bailiff on our show? Then what should his new uniform be? Should it be like Fidel’s, more of a “field” look. Or like, say, Saddam’s, with lots of medals and ribbons?

Jerry’s rant: Jerry's take on the longest government shutdown in history.

Music is by Sarah Dupree, who miraculously played a whole song on one leg when her strap broke just as she was getting started.

Former Starbucks CEO Considering Presidential Run - EP 198 Feb 05, 2019

Show notes

Jerry's enjoying his new notoriety as "Judge Jerry". Sadly, passing out cards at the funeral of Jene's mother in law might not have been the best decision.

Jene talks with Jerry and Maria about a fantastic new restaurant in Augusta, Kentucky. (There are music possibilities there in association with our podcast.)

Who would like to be the first couple Jerry marries when he becomes a judge? Let’s do it on our show!!! (Surely mediator certification allows you to marry couples.) Maria, would you like to marry someone real soon and have Jerry officiate over your wedding?

Jerry’s rant: Former Starbucks CEO considers presidential run. Because we really need another billionaire to run our country.

Iowa Congressman Steve King Is a Racist - EP 197 Jan 29, 2019

Show notes

Jerry's getting batting lessons for his grandson, Richard. Of course, this is no ordinary instructor. The instructor played baseball professionally in the minor leagues for years.

Jene's excited about a project to digitally map the Ohio River from Marietta to Louisville. There will be cyclists and paddlers involved, and they want to mark landmarks,restaurants,campgrounds and the like, so folks remember what a great resource the Ohio River is for travel. Not a bad idea since we don't see riverboats these days.

Jerry's goes off on Iowa Congressman Steve King after his recent remarks about 'white power'. Is he a racist? Jerry says, 'Yes, Steve King is a racist' and explains why his positions are untenable.

Our musical guest is the incredibly talented and our own, Maria Carrelli!
