Burt Carlson and Abe Garvin are usually friends, sometimes enemies, and always old men. These two fellas have seen it all, from Jesus Christ to trap music. Somehow, they got a weekly show with a local radio station where they can riff and tell stories with guests and yell at their intern (producer),…
Mary-Alice McNab met her husband during a podcast recording in San Francisco. Luckily, the perpetual bachelors, Abe and Burt, make it out of this show without tying the knot. She's also got a one-person show, Sexodus, where you can “discover how this good Christian girl left the church to find her sexual freedom and landed in the marriage bed, still longing for liberation”. Then we get a visit from Mary-Alice's grandmother, also named Mary-Alice, who's looking for a male suitor to take her to the country club.
Ali Mierzejewski stops by the underground radio station to tell you how to stuff your stocking and stock your stuffing. She's the toy expert, and don't you forget it! Then we get a visit from Joanne Russo. She's the pride and joy of the North Shore, but she's struggling to marry off her daughter, Steph. Next week, Trap Music.
Our old friend, Tevin Campbell, stops by to talk about all manner of things. Mostly nonsense. This episode features the music of The Spin Doctors. The Spin Doctors and Tevin Campbell are friends of the show, they told me so just last week. Next week, trap music.
Our guest this week, is the world record holder for Most Time Consecutively Spent on the Staten Island Ferry. That's right, we've got THE Gerald Crow on the radio. Unfortunately, those jerks at Guinness won't corroborate this or any of his other records. What other records does Gerald Crow hold? Listen here and find out! Brought to you by Chesterfield cigarettes. Next week, trap music.
We're back with Kevin McNair to talk about photography, music, and theatre (don't you dare spell it “theater”). We touch on pretty much every musician, every music festival, and why you should never eat the brown acid. Then we welcome in Michael Governs III, a theatre director from Stratford, Connecticut who definitely DID NOT burn down the local Shakespearean theatre. No arsonists over here. Next week, trap music.
Poinsettia Marbles is a multi-talented impressionist and ventriloquist. She can do spot-on impressionists of the greats. You know, Marcel Marceau, Al Roker, and Matlock. But watch out, she's possessed by a demon named Asarof, with an “f”. You never know who you'll get in this one. It could by Poinsettia, it could be Asarof, it could be a dummy named Linda, but never Sonia. What happened to episode 14? Into the void, I suppose.
Phew! Burt's back from his excursion. And Paul Pallotta's here too, with a lotta laughs! He tells us all about moving to the big city from North Cackalacky. Our contest winner, Randy Anthony Thomas (RAT), stops by, but he doesn't want to let us know too much about his personal life. His past catches up with him on this one.
We're gonna be at the PIT Loft at 7PM on Thursday, March 21st as part of Improv Fest. We'll be sharing the stage with the Speed of Life. Check it out.
Burt is missing! Sources say he's lost in a hedge maze. But don't worry, this episode is as jam-packed as Tippecanoe and Tyler Too in a one person canoe. We've got 2021 New York mayoral candidate, and real-life pigeon, Will De Vlavio. We've got James Quesada and Julia Schroeder. And finally, we've got real life baby, Baby James. It's a doooooozy.
Who will win the Game of Thrones? Not this old bag of bones. We're done playing games. Ronny Pascale, one of our top two all time guests, stops by to discuss Game of Thrones. The conversation goes to Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix, Flipper, baseball, and Moby Dick Jokes. All to the tune of Cameo's Word Up.
Stephen Sherwood stops by teach you yungins a thing or two. Open up your goddamn audio sensory organs so you can learn some history. Wanna know about Genghis Khan, the founding of Wisconsin, lavendar, Battle of the Bands, and Battle of the Banneds? Well, your elders are here to drop some truth bombs on ya.Then we get a little royal up in the hizzy. His highness, Lord Gaspod Willoughby the 26th Duke of Cornwall.
Christine Pineiro stops by the radio station to talk about teaching improv, being a twin, and serial killers. Burt and Abe ramble on a bit about Victor Lopez from Miami Sound Machine. Dustin, being the good intern that he is, keeps wrangles the boys back on topic. Keeping it all in the family, the cousin, Puerto Rican cousin that is, stops by to give some advice on relaxation and calling people Papi.
The father/son duo of Kevin Lederstein and Erik Lederman stop by the studio to talk about being a boy scout and man scout, respectively. Erik doesn't mind that his son curses, but he sure does mind having his son learning about geography. Also, they're werewolves. Find out about scouts, werewolves, Little Randy, and more on this episode of Old Man Pod!
Johnny knows a lot. And it's all true! Who said it wasn't? I'll fight you. What was I saying? Oh yeah. Johnny and his twin brother Freddy stop by to tell us about audio engineering, acting, and aliens interfering with soldiers on the battlefield. He once ran sound for Lisa Loeb. Lisa's still number 1 on MTV's top 20 countdown in my book. Maybe we can use Johnny's audio engineering skills to replace Dustin.
Kevin Cobbs is a writer, comedian, musician, and general wisecracker. This week, he sits down with us to discuss philosophy, bartending, accents, and tertiary syphilis. Then we get an unwelcome visit from rival radio host, Herb Nerdsworth of WCBB. Herb is after Dustin's services. It'll be a cold day in hell before we give up our intern. Check out Kevin's band at The Great American Country Drifters
If you go through the doggy door, you might not like what's on the other side. How do you get through? Well, you best slather yourself in butter first. Claire Yale joins the boys on this journey as they talk about their dream jobs. Later on, contest winner and New Zealand's own, Vicki Waters, sits down to talk about her new TV program.
Micah Sherman sits down with us for this one. For some reason, he tries to poke holes in our stories. Why doesn't he believe Burt about his encounters with Fievel? That's no way to respect your elders. Afterwards, contest winner and NBA trophy namesake, Larry O'Brien, tells us about the pivotal moment in his career. I definitely learned something.
Raina Trider's a publicist at Nickelodeon, and we're not talking about those machines that eat your nickels and show you complete garbage. This is a kids' network. How kids got a network, I'll never know. Anywho, Raina comes down to the station to talk about children's books and other goings on. Then, a woman by the name of Gloria wanders in, and boy does she not like Dustin. Gloria's ok in my book.
Jaime Fallon knows a lot about movies. Well, she oughta, being that she's Head of Creative at the Tribeca Film Festival. This week, she joins Abe and Burt to talk about all types of movies, even the ones with talking. It doesn't stop there. The boys have some movie ideas of their own to pitch. If Jaime really does work at Tribeca, we should be seeing Abe and Burt at the festival next year.
