Happy Saturday, Darling! I hope you were able to catch the live show last night. It was great. If not, you can always head over to the facebook page and get it today. Do it after you enjoy today's classic, Mutant Robby Benson. I can't believe we're at episode 19 already! Gee whiz! I'm having so much fun going back through these. There were so many things that I missed on my first time through. I hope that you're enjoying it too.
Before I get in to this episode, here's a picture of Robby Benson.
I had to listen to this episode twice in a row to be able to present it to you. It's probably been at least a year since I've heard it and for the second time, I was crying laughing through it. Oh.My.God. This one has got it ALL! Episode 19 is sitting right at the top of my 10 favorite episodes list.
To start things off we are treated to The Goddamn Tweets being presented by John's cousin, Woody. Hilarious!
We learn about Matthew Tsang's old stage name and why he changed it. This takes us to a fun conversation about using a fake name when you order food to make people at sandwich shops say weird shit. There's more easy, breezy, fun talk going on. Weird Russian markets, plaid bananas, and things of that nature.
The last time Steve saw Matthew was at the BYOB show where Steve and the Podcheese hosts brought a case of beer for themselves. Matthew apparently had comments. He doesn't remember though. Steve thinks that young comedians are pussies now. He's right. A case of beer split among three people is eight beers each. They're grown men. It shouldn't be an issue. In my drinking years, eight beers was about the right number to have while you're doing your hair and makeup before you go out drinking. Frankly, I'm surprised they only had a case. Either way. We're old people now saying shit like "back in my day". That's not cute. But still. Young people should get it together.
The great Nick Vollmer debuted his Archway Story. It's fantastic!
Up to this point it's a great show. There's tons of funny, easy conversation and lots of laughs. Hold on to your hat, Darling!
The talk turns to the previous episode and all the drama around Good Ole Proto and the incomparable Joe Murdock. Christian Alsis recaps it in a most masterful way. Then, we find out that Joe actually called the studio after the last show. HERE WE GO! I'm not able to explain this in any way that does it justice. This is another that you just HAVE to hear.
Here's a picture of Joe so you can have an image of him in your head for the rest of the show.
I don't know about you, but I LOVE and live for shows like this one. It's so freaking juicy.
Just sayin: Murdock sort of let me down. As you heard in the last episode, he was going on and on about not wanting any attention. Then, he called back twice to plug his upcoming show. That was genius! I totally thought he did it on purpose and he got the joke. Apparently not. He should have just left it alone. But, lucky for us, he didn't!
Just sayin another thing: If you turned up the volume to be able to better hear the incredible phone call, know that there will be LOUD sound effects a few minutes in. Be ready so you don't drop your toast and spill your coffee like I did.
The Call gave me my favorite quote, "Why are you doing this to me, Man?". - Joe Murdock
I'm exhausted from laughing.
There's more talk of the whole sitch after the call. So good!
Before the show ends, we get an update on Christian Alsis' balls. I told you this one had it all!!
Show description: Matthew Tsang and Christian Alsis, top stand up comics, sit in this week. They talk about name changes, the youth of comedy, and sift through the fallout of last week's show. It's all that matters on the only podcast that matters.
Have a great Saturday!
XO
