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.

Happy Birthday, Jene: Ep. 65 Jul 20, 2016

Show notes

Jene pulls out a Jerry Springer CD, one from a box he has had in storage in his garage for several years. David plays “There Ain’t No Trash in My Trailer (track 11).” Jerry tells the story of how that CD came about and the time he performed in some casinos singing songs from that CD. Jene will be departing in the near future on a trip to Idaho on his birthday, so there won’t be a chance for the podcast family to give him his proper birthday wishes. So maybe tonight would be a good time for everyone to sing him happy birthday. Jerry’s Rant: Why Donald Trump is dangerous for America? Jene and Megan ask Jerry about the slogan he ended newscasts with when anchoring the news and now uses on his TV show. Where did it come from? We then get Jerry to tell the story about the time he refused to do his news commentary because of threatened management censorship.

Imagine Donald Trump With Nuclear Codes: Ep. 64 Jul 13, 2016

Show notes

Jerry, Megan and Jene make some personal comments about the historic massacre in Orlando. (Jene met one of the murdered victims one morning at breakfast with his daughter. She worked with him at Universal.) We have Jene's daughter on the phone to speak about her friend. Jene and Megan ask Jerry about his experiences last week in his birth country, England. Megan tells how we use his cell phone for some podcast social media tasks, that Jerry's made his password 1234. Then when he realized how stupidly predictable that was, he changed it to A, B, C, D. Jene tells the story about how he’s so cheap he once got electric fencing for his dog from a low-price bootleg company that conditioned his dog to its jarring shock in three painful seconds. Jerry’s Rant: Can Trump be given the nuclear codes? Jene asks Jerry to talk about his recent trip back to Kew Gardens with his old buddies from childhood.

Is Donald Trump Proving Us All Wrong? Ep. 62 Jun 29, 2016

Show notes

Is Donald Trump proving us all wrong? At the time of recording, he led Hillary in multiple national polls. Why is this happening and could it continue? He also talks about Trump's take on illegal immigrants. Jerry states Trump talking about these people getting deported is dangerous because it will make America more tribal. He states when Trump talks about deporting 11 million people, we should get "PISSED OFF!" Finally, Jene asks Jerry to tell about the time he spent several nights as a homeless person in the streets of Cincinnati, why he did it, how it was pulled off and what he learned.

Does Trump Have A Point About Delegates? Ep. 60 Jun 15, 2016

Show notes

We check in on Megan’s online dating life. Jene and Jerry tell how on a recent political trip in Ohio, they learned a new term pertinent to Jerry’s TV show: “Snatch a wig.” Jene asks Jerry to tell about the audiences on his TV show, who are they, where do they come from? The best colleges in the country send kids straight from their campuses on busses to further their education at his show. Then Jene asks Jerry to tell about the dating guidelines during college at Tulane when he was there and we compare those with Megan’s at UK, as well as his life on Bourbon Street as a young student. Jene asks Jerry to give his take on Donald Trump’s complaints about the delegate rules in various states.

Is Jerry Responsible for Donald Trump? Ep. 58 Jun 01, 2016

Show notes

State Senator Tip Kemper calls in with another outrageous proposal. Next, Jene wonders if Jerry -- the father of reality and modern talk television -- should be held responsible for the rise and national obsession with Donald Trump. Jene proposes that Megan sign up for J Date, the Jewish online dating service. He asks Jerry and Megan to role-play what a phone call would sound like if they had exchanged numbers through the website service. Then, Jerry refutes the idea that America is falling apart -- a often-repeated refrain from today's politicians. During the 60's with Vietnam and civil rights unrest America was actually falling apart -- with leaders like J.F.K, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, and others being assassinated -- but we made it through that, too.

Jerry Springer And The Eagles: Ep. 57 May 25, 2016

Show notes

Jene tells the audience Jerry’s colonoscopy went without incident. He knows because he was there with a camera crew. We’re doing some polite editing before we can put it on the website. But he got the phone number of the medical technician while in the procedure room who assisted, and we get her on the phone with Jerry’s report. In memory of Glenn Frey, Jene asks Jerry to tell about the time he gave the key to the city of Cincinnati to the Eagles and sang with them. Jene tells a joke and asks Jerry to tell one that Jenna provided for him. Then, Jerry explains why Christian Republicans are backing Trump even though he doesn't represent their values.

Show notes

Jerry, Jene and Megan went to Cuba last week -- in this podcast, they recap the highlights of the trip, which include: -Jerry not being recognized by many Cubans because his show isn't on there. So Casey became the star. -Where was Megan for 28 hours? And why did they almost keep her in Cuba at the very end? -Jene was the most invisible member of the delegation who said very little. (Remember, team, what is said in Cuba STAYS in Cuba!) -Jerry said to a ranking government official at dinner, “You want some?” -Jerry singing "I Saw Her Standing There" on the Malecon Wall with a crowd gathering to hear but no one knowing he’s a US celebrity. He earned their love with talent. -The “ranking govt. official “ who told us at dinner about being jailed, tortured and exiled by Batista for 11 days before returning when the revolution was won and Fidel, Che, Raul and others paraded into Havana victorious, and going sleepless for 8 days among a jubilant celebration. -Realizing that music is the universal language.

Do Presidential Debates Matter? Episode 55 May 18, 2016

Show notes

Jene reads several new emails from listeners, and one cites Jerry’s lack of new jokes. Jene calls Jerry's assistant, Jenna, and asks if she could add one new job to her list of responsibilities: printing a good joke for Jerry each Tuesday. Please, Jenna. Our listeners are begging you. Speaking of jokes, Jene reads the punchlines of several fantastic jokes. The other parts of the jokes are unspeakably inappropriate for our show and won’t be revealed. Jerry goes in depth about how the questions posed to presidential candidates are not the same as the decisions a president has to face. Therefore, how they do in a debate isn't necessarily an indicator of how good of a president they'll be.

Our musical guest is Easy Tom Eby.
