Musings and other dirt.....I mean, observations of pop culture. (Formerly the Debbie Praver Podcast)
Debbie Praver and Jackie Smith
Debbie and Jackie are still staying at home and in this episode they discuss baking bread, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Nail Salons, Game Shows, Prison Labor and Chris Rock. All in fun and any judging is simply for the sake of comedy.
Debbie and Jackie get all controversial about the state of the world and have some laughs along the way. Jackie explained "code switching" to Debbie while Jackie was on the way to her ultra white boyfriends' mom's house in the OC and she tells us exactly how she feels about it! It's heavy and hilarious all at the same time. Enjoy!
This episode is with special guest John Lehr (Quickdraw, 10 items or less)!! Jackie Smith is busy working on the front lines so Debbie and John discuss all things quarantine/covid......online comedy, John's sordid life history, poker/gambling, John converting to judaism, etc. John is hilarious and he was a great guest! Enjoy!
Full disclosure: This was recorded prior to the covid-19 craziness began so Debbie and Jackie don't really discuss it but they do discuss Jimmy Buffet and his musical Margaritaville, Beetlejuice, Debbie's recent car accident, The old show Emergency!, how people fall through the cracks, Jackie's hair, and a teeny tiny bit of politics. Enjoy!!!!
Debbie and Jackie catch up with each other and discuss (among other things) the holidays, church (gambling nuns), Michael Chiklis, and a new true crime podcast. Sounds serious but rest assured it is not. Enjoy!
Debbie and Jackie rolling south on an LA freeway down through Orange County and on to a reservation to see Kenny Loggins perform at Pala Casino outside of Temecula, California. They discuss Jackie's visit to a nude beach....what???.......yes, a nude beach and then a very funny post show review of the concert with a lot of discussion about what the audience was like. Enjoy!
Debbie and Jackie (with special guest Suzy Nece) discuss a recent stand up comedy performance at an Indian casino where things went slightly sideways. They also discuss the Dave Chapelle Sticks and Stones special, how laughter is by far the BEST medicine, they recap their show with Tim Meadows and then they wrap it up with a brief recap of why there was such a long period of time without a new episode.
With stand up comedy shows in New Mexico and Colorado, I took Suzy Nece on the road with me. We had LOTS of drive time and lots of laughs. We did this podcast somewhere between Delta, Colorado and Albuquerque, New Mexico. We were super punchy but we breakdown the details of our shows. Enjoy!
This lost episode was trapped on an SD card but was recently unearthed. It's from last March. Warning......Jackie and I are both recovering from colds and are utilizing cough drops to get through it. Still lots of fun and lots of laughter. Enjoy!
Debbie and Jackie get together to discuss the Internantional Women's Day, The Oscars, the Amazon Prime Rose parade coverage (With Will Farrell,Molly Shannon and Tim Meadows) , the importance of a good manicure and more! Lots of funny stuff. Enjoy!!
From a hotel room in Pechanga........and the very first slumber party episode!! The show opens with a discussion about hair and whether or not Tim Meadows' kids have curly or straight. Jackie talks about working in Ventura during the big fire, what it's like to be in a relationship with someone that is your political opposite, and why it's going to be a long time before we can get a woman in the white house. Sounds serious.......but it's "I Know, Right??" so you know it isn't. Enjoy!!!!
Debbie Praver and Suzy Nece opened for Tim Meadows at Pechanga Resort and Casino and Jackie Smith stopped by to podcast from their hotel room. They open the show with lots of talk about what Tim Meadows is like and move on to the history of the name "Midge", what it was like for Suzy's sister to be a school bus driver, and then Suzy and Jackie get schooled about primordial dwarves. It's not exactly politically correct but it's a good time. Enjoy!
Almost forgot to post this one but it's up now and worth listen! Jackie met up with me after I had finished hosting a game night in West Los Angeles. There was much to discuss including kids in Los Angeles and the dodgers. I know the World Series is over but Jackie explains her love of the dodgers....am I supposed to capitalize dodgers????
Jackie is out of town so Debbie sits down with stand up comedians Lang Parker and Graham Elwood....both very funny people! Lots of topics up for discussion in this episode. Enjoy!
From the stand up comedy road (but without Jackie this time) Debbie talks with special guest John Lehr along with Barry Neal and Luis Villasenor. This episode is straight from the green room backstage at Pechanga Resort and Casino. There is lots of discussion of relationships, marriage, fertility and why people become stand up comedians.
Debbie and Jackie discuss race as Debbie found out she wasn't the race she thought she was and the comedy goes on from there. Enjoy!!
Still producer free........(which explains the lack of bumper music and editing) Debbie and Jackie break down some of Jackie's recent travels. Jackie went to Hawaii for her day job and you won't believe what she didn't do!
I know we are late to the party but on this episode Jackie and I discuss Bill Maher and Kathy Griffin.
Jackie and I discuss Jackie's latest travels to Washington DC (that includes her trip to the National Museum of African American History) and I tell a story about how I had to kick the front table out of my show in Colorado.
Debbie & Jackie meet their casting director friend Brad Kenny at a Mexican Restaurant to discuss the death of Prince. Clearly this podcast should have been posted sooner. After the Prince discussion they move on to other topics including some that keep us with an explicit rating. Enjoy!
The always HILARIOUS Suzy Nece joins the podcast again....of COURSE, shenanigans ensue!Oh, and Jackie's back!
Who makes us laugh HARDER than SUZY NECE! NO ONE!! Jackie is out working on her real job, so Suzy steps in with her she·nan·i·gans!
