Good morning! I'm heading out soon to find a good sport to give us our Stranger Radio pick, but for the second time this week I'm getting some alone time with my coffee and the sun coming up. Ahhhhhh... I live for these moments. So, let's get in to episode 18.
Top stand-up Jake Mattera shared great inside info about working for Conan. It sounds like a totally enjoyable experience. That's weird, isn't it? Don't we normally hear that working for shows like that is an actual nightmare and the star of the show is always an asshole? It seems like the opposite is true in the Conan world. Who knew Conan was so tall? It was news to me. I don't know squat about late night shows or anyone on them, though. I watched Arsenio a few times because I was in my 20's and it was the law. Other than that, they're all past my bedtime. So, this was nice to hear.
Then Jake was asked about working at the *Preston and Steve show. Oh boy!! Our Steve does not really care for that show. He does say he has "time for Preston", though. P&S are alright. Jake has nothing but nice things to say about them. I've never heard anything bad about them as people. Nice guys, it seems. Bradley jumped in with a funny assumption that our Steve has beef with them because it's not, "Preston and Steve Rees". Good one, Brad! Steve thinks that the only people that listen to P&S are women. Could be. Steve has many valid points. Gadzooks!
Brad was invited to the show to tell a story of some scandalous drama that happened. We immediately find out that he didn't witness the drama. He just saw the aftermath unfold online. I'm taking back 3 of the 5 points I gave him for the funny dis on Steve.
Wait!! I'm giving Brad 4 points for even bringing this up. Holy smokes, you guys. This is freaking hilarious. The scandalous drama took place at the WitIn Awards. We learned about them in episode 16, remember? Anyway, Good Ole Proto was one of the stars of the drama. The other was the incomparable Joe Murdock. It was a goofball on goofball crime. Good Ole Proto apparently carries a butter knife for protection. Ooof! I'm not going to louse it all up trying to tell the story. You have to hear it.
Joe Murdock calls in to tell his side. WOWSERS!!! He can't hang with our beloved Steve Rees at all. It's so freaking funny, you guys. Just get in to it. There's too much going on. I'll say this, Joe Murdock as a call in guest makes Bryan Leichter look like Gore Vidal. It's painful at times. He's awful and yet he's some kind of genius. I don't want to ruin it. He does pull off some funny toward the end of the show.
Man oh man this is a fun show!!
Have a great Friday!
Enjoy episode 18!
