Generation Muff

April 9, 2015 Episode 27
Cast: Steve Rees, John Kensil, Dr. Frielgood, Midnight Martinez, Nick Vollmer
Caller: LUMB and Josh Jakubiw

Hello there!

Ready for some throwback TPAH? Get it on!

Steve kicks things off by introducing everyone, but then there's no one there except him and Nick. It just gets weirder from there. I had a hard time with this one. It's fun and it's funny, but for some reason my head's just not in the game today apparently.

Nick gives us the goddamn tweets of the week and fills us in on his goings on. Then, there's a phone call from this screw ball, LUMB. That stands for Living Under Manyunk Bridge. He gives us his entire lineage and Steve and Nick just let him. Eventually, Steve and Nick decide to just ignore him and they keep talking while LUMB just keeps going. It ends up being really funny, but it could have easily gone horribly wrong. Now, this is just speculation on my part, but I feel as though this is might be someone poking fun at a known open miker. (Micer? Mic'r? Who gives a shit?) Clearly there is a deeper meaning to this bit. I like it.

Sorry, Darlings, but I tuned out a little on this one. I have no clue what's going on over here. I'm going to cut this short and just take the L for the day. How about if I just post it and you listen to it and then let me know what you think?

Enjoy episode 27! 

Show description: Steve and Nick go at it as a duo, as the boys discuss grooming, scams, and the ancestry of top stand-up comedian LIMB. Josh Jakubiw shares his experience of being scammed via a Craigslist hookup. It's all that matters on  the only podcast that matters.

Lump Sum of Celery

April 2, 2015 Episode 26
Cast: Steve Rees, John Kensil, Dr. Frielgood, Nick Vollmer
Guest: Jim McCauley
Caller: Eric Todd

Good morning!

Did you catch the live show last night? OMG! It was so goddamn funny. I laughed through the entire episode. I did it again this morning because I just couldn't stop thinking about it. After you enjoy a classic TPAH from the past, you should definitely hit up last night's show and let it keep you laughing while you're doing your Saturday chores and dealing with your stupid family. I'll link ya at the bottom.

Today's classic TPAH is supposed to be episode #25, Macho Mania from March 26, 2015. It's not available anywhere! I went to Google Podcasts first because that's my usual *jawn for listening and it couldn't play there. I went to Stitcher, it won't play there. I pulled it up on the Laffcast app, and it won't freaking play there. Now, you may be saying, "A-Plus, you dumb ass, they all get it from the same place. So, if it's broken it's going to be broken everywhere". Shut up! I know. But, I still had to check. I want to know why it won't play. I demand answers and I demand justice!

We'll just move on to the next one.

Oh boy! First of all, I apologize. I was wrong about Jim McCauley not being on again as I stated before. I remember the story he's telling, but I didn't have it all together in my head. He's got an incredible and rage-inducing story about the fund raiser he was plugging the last time he was on. Remember I told you to go there and make a donation in Jim's honor? You should still do that, but jeez, they didn't treat Jim very well. What a whole mess.

John shares a great second hand story about Gallagher being a jerk. John heard it all from an angry Lebanese guy. It's hilarious! The guys think they could get Gallagher in the studio. That would be awesome! It sounds like Gallagher is not a family friendly act like he used to be. They should get on that!

Eric Todd phoned in to plug a show. The great Greg Lynn was going to be there too. The show was going to be BYOB. Hmmmm.....does Steve have a story about BYOBing at this place? Eric also shares about the sweet job he landed. It sounds awesome. I want to do it! We find out that Eric was writing a blog at the time. I went in search of this blog. So far, no luck. I'll for sure share it if and when I find it. It sounds like there are great stories on there.

Dan Friel hit Jim with The Door Test. Jim takes issue with the whole looney idea of it. Didn't Jim fail the door test once already? Gee whiz!! No one remembers. I don't remember either. It's a weird thing to fail twice. LOL!

Jeff Simmons shared the details about his new podcast, Turnin' The Tables. Find it here:   http://www.laffcast.com/archive/tables/  He had our Steve on and they did a new, updated version of Steve's classic hit, "I Don't Like Snakes", just IDLS to super fans. It's great!

This is a fun episode! I'll wrap up there and leave it to you it. There's even more going on after this point. Including Steve somehow getting the other guys to dig through his stupid mail to find his new debit card for him.

Enjoy episode 26!

Show description: Eric Todd calls in to update the folks in his goings on and what not. Top stand up comedian Jim McCauley is in studio to discuss benefit mishaps and tales of the road. John has a Gallagher story from the road. It's all that matters on the only podcast that matters.



Global Medium Alert: *Jawn is a good word to use when you can't think of the right word for the jawn you're thinking of. I use this word when I'm trying to think but I keep getting distracted and interrupted and I can't keep my shit together. In our part of Kensilvania, most people think it's perfectly acceptable to call any jawn a jawn. I have a feeling that Steve doesn't like it.

Bring Your Own Gabagool

March 19, 2015 Episode 24
Cast: Steve Rees, Dr. Frielgood, Nick Vollmer
Guest: Chris Morganti
Callers: Dino Cavolatino - That's probably not spelled correctly. I'm not Italian enough to work out the phonics on that name. Also on the hotline, the great Greg Lynn!

Hello! I hope you're ready for your classic TPAH. Our entry today is a super fun time. What kind of dipshit doesn't love a super fun time?

Chris Morganti is in as a guest. He wasn't a full timer yet at this point. I'm glad he became a regular part of the show. He's the greatest. I love the story he tells about being asked to be a part of the live TPAH the previous summer. He went to an open mic hoping to get his juices flowing and have his shit together for the live show. It didn't go the way he'd expected it to.

Just sayin: I don't know how comedians put up with that open mic shit. I guess they have to do it, but the whole scene just sounds like a depressing grind to me. How can you possibly feel like being funny after you've been sitting around in a room for hours and hours with a bunch of other comedians? I just don't get it. Thank god they do it though. Where would we be without funny stand up comedians? Oh wait. We'd be in America in 2019. That's a rant for a different day, though. Back to the show.

Thanks to his Jesus H. Christ character, Chris landed a sweet gig playing Jesus in a movie. Oh boy! Poor Chris didn't make it to a shoot. You'll have to hear him tell it. He probably wished for his shit to be together in this scenario too.

All of his characters are great. 50's Comic is my favorite. The talk of his many characters is hilarious.

The first caller has tales of being on the Sopranos, an upcoming comedy show, and a BYOG show with Good Ole Proto. He's got a lot going on. It's a whole saga and it's really funny.

The 50's Comic finally makes an appearance to talk about Danica Patrick! Good stuff!

The great Greg Lynn calls in next to talk about an episode of an internet-tv-show-ridiculousness that Bryan Leichter was producing. Oy! Greg seems to think Bryan did a decent job. Maybe he did. Who knows or cares?

Poor Greg gets the phone call silent treatment. That's not nice, you guys!!

Speaking of the great, multi talented, top everything Greg Lynn, he designed the first The Passive Aggressive Hour tee shirt. You can get one here:
https://teespring.com/stores/the-passive-aggressive-hour !!

Click on a style, pick a color, order it, and help TPAH keep going.

Need your own shirt designed? Need a flyer for your upcoming event? How about an incredible song parody written and performed? Find Greg Lynn. He can do it all!   https://www.facebook.com/GraphicsByGreg
That's not an ad, we just love Greg.


Enjoy episode 24!

Show description: Chris Morganti, top stand-up comedian, joins Steve, Dan, and Nick for a night of chat about failed film shoots, being cut out of The Sopranos, and just what the hell Bryan Leichter has been up to. It's all that matters on the only podcast that matters.

A Sack of Potatoes

March 12, 2015 Episode 23
Cast: Steve Rees, John Kensil, Dr. Frielgood, Midnight Martinez, Nick Vollmer
Guests: Andrew Mahon and Rick Robotin
Callers: Volodymyr, the Eastern European Fan. He just happened to be hanging out with "Sean Moses" so we hear from him too.

Hello Darling. I hope you had a great weekend! We're back in business this week now that the holiday and the incredible TPAH 200 are behind us. If you haven't caught the 200th episode extravaganza spectacular experience yet, make sure you check it out.

Today's TPAH from the past is super fun! Andrew Mahon and Rick Robotin are great guests. They're here to teach us about burlesque. Andrew straight up schools our beloved Steve. You guys, I don't really want to ruin anything, but Steve concedes a point and then apologizes twice!

Check out the beautiful women of Whiskey Kitten Cabaret.   https://www.facebook.com/thewhiskeykittens
They were supposed to be on the show, but we're told they couldn't make it because it was a "sewing night". Sewing night? What the hell? Everyone just accepted that as an excuse and didn't try to dig further. Clearly, it's a bullshit excuse. Did our heroes just not want to talk about girls making up lame reasons to not hang out with them? I would have liked to hear more about this. "Sorry. I can't make it. That's my sewing night." is my new response to invites to shit I don't want to go to.

Hmmm...now I'm thinking about it. Maybe they really did have to sew stuff. Maybe they make their own costumes . Or, maybe their costumes get messed up and they have to fix them. Could be. Steve could've gotten the answers for us, but he didn't. We'll never know. Either way, I like it.

John had a great line even though we don't agree with it, "I always thought the difference between strippers and burlesque was about 20 pounds". Oh John.

Our favorite Eastern European fan, Volodymyr gives us another great call. He has a wonderful story about going to a BYOP comedy show. Life isn't so different in Eastern Europe!

Volodymyr was standing right next to this "Sean Moses" character and let him get on the phone. Oh boy. His whole scheme was all just jokes and pranks apparently. No harm done. He's funny and nice. We can't stay mad at him. It was sweet of him to give his exclusive statement to his very best friends, the guys from TPAH.

John's got some great stories from his Twitter life.

Andrew lets everyone know that there's a comedy competition coming up and Good Ole Proto and Kricket Lee are both going to be there. Oh boy! If you don't know why that's funny I don't know how to help you anymore, Darling. I'll link ya again but really, get your shit together.

There's more fun burlesque talk and other funny chit chat.

Pay attention to the incredible Nick Vollmer throughout this entire show. My god. He is hilarious!

We find out that Steve doesn't care for the great INXS song, "Never Tear Us Apart." He's wrong.

I freaking love this song.


Enjoy episode 23!

Show description: Andrew Mahon and Rick Robotin sit in to talk about the burlesque gals who didn't want any part of TPAH malarkey. A local comic finds himself in hot water over nanny cams in mall ladies' rooms and calls in to defend himself. Rick and Andrew defend burlesque against its many criticisms. It's all that matters on the only podcast that matters.

This is another one that's not on Stitcher. Here's the Laffcast linnk:

TPAH Tees!

Good morning! Happy Easter if you're in to that. Did you catch TPAH 200 last night? What a hoot!! Of course it will be covered here on E.C., but there's so much Easter Bunny stuff going on around me right now, I want to jump into that!

One thing I want to share real quick is the link to the TPAH Tees. This shirt isn't just "merch". It's out there with the hopes that it will help the guys with equipment and whatever costs they run into as things change after Laffcast. Please take a look. The amazing Greg Lynn from Graphics By Greg was very kind to design this for them and they came out great. There are many styles and many colors. You're sure to find one you love. Thanks in advance!

Hello, Darling! What an exciting day, huh? Tonight will mark the 200th episode of The Passive Aggressive Hour! That's such a tremendous milestone for our beloved genius underdogs.

Be sure to tune in tonight at 9pm East for the 2 hour extravaganza! I'll be there taking pictures and fangirling all over everyone. I wish I had some inside scoop or dirt that I could share with you, but I don't. We all just have to hang on until tonight! OskeeWeeWee!


Have a wonderful Saturday and a wonderful TPAH Saturday night!

Better Horn Bjorn

February 26, 2015 Episode 22
Cast: Steve Rees, John Kensil, Dr. Frielgood, Midnight Martinez, Nick Vollmer
Guest: Troy Moore
Callers: Eastern European Fan, Benny Michael, and Roger Weaver

Hello Darling! Did you have a great week? Me too.

This episode from the past is a lot of fun! Dr. Frielgood gives us a fanciful, Disneyfied The Door Test. Troy Moore is exposed as a non listener. We like him anyway. There's fun, smooth, enjoyable conversation.

We're treated to a hilarious phone call from an Eastern European fan. I wish he would call more often. It might be hard with the hand crank phone situation or whatever they've got going on. He seems to know more about the show than anyone. It's good stuff.

Then, Benny from Podcheese chimes in to give us even more insight into the Case Of Beer At The BYOB Comedy Show Saga. Turns out, it could have been a 30 pack, but Steve thought that would be outrageous.

Sounds like a full, action packed show, right?  There's yet another great call. Roger Weaver hit up the studio with his usual fun and funny.

This is a fun show for a Friday morning when you're just trying to get some shit done and get the hell out of work. This hour goes remarkably fast. There's no super drama or shenanigans, just fun talk.

Enjoy episode 22!

Show description: Troy Moore, top stand-up comic, joins the guys. A fan call from Eastern Europe eases international relations, Wacky Benny Michaels tells his side of a story Steve has beaten to death, and Roger Weaver gives Johnny Carson a run for his money.

There are several episodes in a row missing from Stitcher. Until I get to the bottom of that mystery, we'll enjoy them straight from the tap at laffcast.com.
