Verbal Shenanigans

This was a really fun episode.  First, we talk about childhood nostalgia such as pogs, garbagepail kids, big wheels, and dogs roaming the suburbs.  Then, Robbie Rist joins us and he was absolutely fascinating.   Robbie is an actor who has been involved in so many projects that are part of American pop culture.  Robbie was Cousin Oliver on the Brady Bunch, the voice of Michelangelo, the Ninja Turtle, and is now the voice Stuff the Dragon on Disney's Doc McStuffins.  Take one look at Robbie's IMDB profile and you'll be amazed at just how much he has been involved with.  He was extremely energetic and entertaining.  Check out Robbie on facebook, twitter, and youtube and his band at yourfavoritetrainwreck@bandcamp.comKeep following us on iTunes and Stitcher, and tweet us @VScomedy.#robbierist #pogs #bigwheels #comedy #teenagemutantninjaturtles #garbagepailkids #yourfavoritetrainwreck #docmcstuffins #bradybunch #cousinoliver

Well, we may have reached a whole new level of stupidity on this one.  We sat down late at night to record a Halloween themed episode.  We discuss old Halloween stories, crying over a  copied Ninja Turtle ghost, someone putting their leg in a washing machine, and a hilarious story about Burlew in a toothbrush costume.  We also have a mysterious call from a talking pumpkin with awful jokes know as the "Hack-o-lantern".  Keep following us on iTunes and on twitter @VScomedy#halloween #hackolantern #ghosts #trickortreating #comedy #stupidity

These podcasts are all like my children.  And just like most parents, you tend to love some children better than others.  For instance, I happen to love this episode a whole lot more than episodes featuring only Michael Burlew.  First, Richard Nunn of WULFNATION joins us for a few to discuss his new brand.  Then. LGBT director, AJ Matiioli, gives us a fascinating interview about his transgendered life, an accomplished director, and a native New Yorker.  AJ could not have been more candid and entertaining.  Check out his new film "Lady Peacock."  We finish up with a good old game of Dirtbag of the Week.Check out AJ and his work atwww.mattioliproductions.com or on twitter @ladypeacockfilmKeep following us on iTunes and Stitcher.  Follow us on twitter @VScomedy#lgbt #transgender #ladypeacock #film #nyc #mets #ajmattiioli #pride #dirtbagoftheweek

As always nice to be back in studio with my wingman.  Burlew and I discuss a million different things today including my late night call to Burlew, Punkin Chunkin, Pinochle, Coheed and Cambria, a man with an eyepatch puking, and Burlew falling asleep during a conference call.  We also talk about listening to Darryl Strawberry talk about his career and lifelong battle with addiction.  A very fun evening and chat session.Help us out a leave a review on iTunes and follow us @VScomedy.#punkinchunkin #pinochle #CoheedandCambria #mets #sleepyhead #darrylstrawberry #addiction #

New episode!  Had to fight through the blues to do this one.  My dog is sick ok?.  Don't judge me.  Anyways, we sat and talked to Kane Kalas, son of legendary broadcaster, Harry Kalas, about his career as a professional poker player and opera singer.   Ignore the minor technical difficulties. Later on, we play a game where Burlew has to decide if he would keep his current job or take on one of history's worst instead.  Let me tell you.  His answers defy intelligence.  Check out Kane on twitter and instagram @kanekalasKeep subscribing to the podcast on Itunes and follow us @VScomedy#poker #onlinepoker #kanekalas #harrykalas #whippingboy #opera #dogsickness #technicaldifficulties

This was another fantastic episode.  Director, Greg Olliver, joins us to talk about making documentaries, his experience making the film Lemmy, yes that Lemmy, and to discuss his new film Turned Towards the Sun.  The film is amazingly unique and is a story that needs to be told.  The story follows the life of and Englishman named Mickey Burn.  Mickey's life stories include heroic World War II missions, being a poet, a prisoner of war for 3 years, siting down with Adolph Hitler, saving Audrey Hepburn's life, and living as a bisexual during a time where it was outlawed.  The story is beyond fascinating.  To find out more about Greg and his work, follow him on twitter @gregolliver or visit his website www.secretweaponfilms.comKeep subscribing to us on iTunes and follow us @VScomedy#turnedtowardsthesun  #gregolliver #lemmy  #motorhead  #WWII #mickeyburn #draftkings  #poetry #audreyhepburn #secretweaponfilms
