The Tony Perkins Show

The gang's all here to celebrate the holidays and say goodbye to 2020 in style! This episode features two "amazing" celebrity guests; Christmas memories from Tony, Gary, and Rob; some of the best AND worst holiday songs of all time; a new "adventure" from Gary; and Tony's recent health woes.   Thanks for hangin' in there with us through thick and thin. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you and yours, and we'll see you in 2021!

Believe it or not, we're BACK with an ALL NEW episode! And it only took a little over two years! In this episode, Tony and Gary reveal recent near-tragedies: one involving Gary's dog, the other involving Tony and...well, you'll have to listen. Plus, remembering some entertainment legends that we've recently lost; weird deaths; the game show "Who Said It?"; cool new music; and....Rob Ford gets married! For real!   We hope you enjoy the show! We've missed you.

The boys are back, after a three week hiatus, with a truly fun and special episode. Tony talks about the sudden passing of his Mom, and although it is really sad, you just know Gary can't help but bring some humor to the conversation....much to Tony's relief! Plus: Cool music, a BIG announcement, and...."Rob really brings his wisdom to the show". You'll laugh, you'll cry. And be sure to listen ALL THE WAY to the end.

Our next new release will be May 29th...Until then, please enjoy one of our favorite episodes from July of 2015! The laughs are nearly non-stop in one of our funniest episodes ever! Among the MANY topics covered: Rob Ford describes his VERY bad day; Which of your five senses would you be willing to give up?; Haley Joel Osment; “Forrest Gump”; the NIGHTMARE of the P.E. Locker Room Showers; “Searching for Sugarman”; and Gary’s date with Shirley MacLaine’s daughter! RoFo fans, you’re going to LOVE this one!

Hey, friends. TTPSFGS will be on hiatus for two more weeks.  Our next new show will be out on Tuesday, May 29th. In the meantime, here's another one of our favorites, this time from November 2016. Enjoy! In one of the most ADD episodes of TTPSFGS ever (and THAT’S saying something!), the guys roll non-stop from one crazy topic to another, barely pausing to gasp for air. Among the subjects covered: Gary is nearly poisoned, and the guys actually get the person who nearly poisoned him on the phone! Also, Tony’s mouth troubles; Gary’s collection of weird, but very funny, actual names of people; Tony presents music composed by….well….you’ll have to listen; and surprising music from The Manhattans. Plus, Rob Ford poops all over one of Tony’s segments. Will Rob survive to produce again? Listen and find out! By the way, the alternate title for this episode is “America: The Bi-Curious Sophomore”. Enjoy!

The guys are taking a quick break this week and bring you one of our favorites from July 2015! In this encore, Tony and Gary talk comedy with stand-up great Paul Provenza, host of TV’s “The Green Room” and “The Set List”, and the director of the great comedy film “The Aristocrats”. Paul gives us great, hilarious inside takes on all of those projects, and the guys get downright serious about the business of making people laugh. Plus, live stand-up from one of the guys’ favorite comedians, the late, great, Mitch Hedberg. AND…..WHEN does water expire???

In this rather goofy episode, Tony gives Gary and Rob a pretty hard "Rock and Roll Trivia Quiz"; Gary takes an awkward trip to Yankee Stadium; we present another edition of "Words I've Heard"; we get an update on Rob's living situation; and Tony FAILS at promoting the podcast! It's....you guessed it....chock full!

This weeks' show features lots of laughs and some pretty quirky and interesting music!   First, Tony plays what he thinks is the earliest ever rap record, and it's from the 50s! BUT do Gary and Rob prove him wrong?!   Then: Gary pays tribute to a dearly departed friend, as only he can; Septic system shenanigans; and a new feature, "Sounds Like The Beatles"! You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll tap your toes. Enjoy!

Master joke teller JACKIE MARTLING returns to the show, so you know this episode will bring LOTS of laughs! And 95% of the jokes are brand new! Plus: "Toilet Habits", and "Are These Really Words?" This one's a laugh-a-minute! NOTE: You can pick up Jackie's NEW book, "Jackie Jokes", AND his autobiography, "From Bow to Stern", at Amazon.com.

CBS News correspondent Don Dahler joins the guys for a fascinating conversation about his life as a network TV reporter and anchor. Don can be seen every week on both "CBS This Morning" and "The CBS Evening News". Tony and Gary got to know him when he was with ABC's "Good Morning America". It was there that Don became one of the first to report on the unfolding tragedy in Lower Manhattan on 9/11; he lived four blocks from the World Trade Center, and he witnessed--and reported on--it all. His recollections on what unfolded that day are riveting and insightful.   Also: Tony and Gary go to a "Race Bar"; Gary's trip to D.C.; and a new edition of "In the News"! Note: Pick up Don Dahler's new novel, Do A Little Wrong, on Amazon.com. Follow him on Twitter at @DonDahlerCBS.

This episode begins with a hilarious, no-holds-barred surprise visit from Oscar Santana from "The Mike O'Meara Show", and boy does the conversation get juicy! It's funny AND honest! Plus: Gary takes issue with the reboot of TV's "Roseanne"; Tony loves HBO's "The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling"; new music from Pink; and really cool musical curiosities from Marvin Gaye, Ratt, The Beatnix, and John Paul Young. It's ANOTHER chock-full show!

Tony and Gary welcome morning radio host RUSS PARR to the show! Russ can be heard weekday mornings on MAJIC 102.3/92.7 in Washington D.C., and on many other stations nationwide. Not only is Russ funny, he's also a movie producer and director--and he just may have a role for Gary! Also: Tony pits Russ and Gary against each other in a game of movie trivia; "Breaking News"; and Gary encounters a sweaty situation! Note: For more on Russ Parr on radio, TV, and in the movies, go to www.uptoparrmedia.com.

After much open speculation by "The Mike O'Meara Show" and many of our listeners about the future of this show, the guys lay it all on the line and pull back the curtain on what's going on with  TTPSFGS. You won't want to miss it. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and we're sure you'll weigh in on it all! Plus: Tony and Gary review this season of "Homeland", as only they could; and, Gary's "Classic Camera Quandry". We enjoyed creating this episode. We speculate that you'll enjoy hearing it!

The guys are on a brief hiatus, so in the meantime, here is a fun episode from September, 2016.  We'll be back soon with a brand new episode! An impromptu, crazy, and revealing conversation about God nearly derails this episode almost before it has started! It’s funny and serious, and Tony may need to ask for forgiveness! Also, the guys introduce the proprietors of Washington D.C.’s most unique music venue, Songbyrd. It’s a cafe, restaurant, and bar, where you can celebrate the surprising return of vinyl music at amazing listening parties, AND hear the latest up-and-coming artists LIVE. It’s VERY cool. And we listen to some records! Plus: Gary goes to the movies, and an odd “Celebrity Encounter”. Can we get an “Amen”?! NOTE: For a schedule of upcoming Songbyrd events, check out www.songbyrddc.com, visit them on Facebook at “Songbyrd Music House”, and follow them on Twitter, @songbyrddc.

In this episode, Tony reunites with his former Fox 5 co-anchor Shawn Yancy! It's great fun, and we all get to learn about Shawn's other passions, besides news. (Like, did you know she's an artist?) Plus, she and Tony sing a duet! (Well....kind of!) Plus: An update to Gary's "Supermarket Dilemma"; the guys receive a "mystery gift"; and....the surprise return of Adrian Garcia! This one's a keeper!

In this super-sized episode, the guys are joined by the one and only ROBB SPEWAK, from "The Mike O'Meara Show"! Robb is great fun as always, and, in a special build-up to this weekend's Academy Awards show, the guys fill out the Entertainment Weekly "Best Picture" brackets to determine which movie is THE BEST PICTURE OF ALL TIME! See if your picks match up! Plus: Another odd dinner with Gary and Tony, and "This Week in the News". Grab your popcorn for this one!

We are THRILLED to welcome the great comedian GODFREY back to the show! He REALLY brings it, and the result is truly one of our funniest episodes ever. Godfrey and the guys talk about comedy, TV, movies, sports, and so much more, including the times Godfrey ran into Joe DiMaggio, Johnny Unitas, and Christopher Plummer! It is a laugh riot! Plus: Gary's new habit; Tony gives thanks; and Rob takes charge. Be prepared to laugh A LOT! Note: Godfrey appears courtesy of the D.C. Improv.

Talk show legend Dick Cavett returns to the show for a free-wheeling, no-holds-barred conversation! When we last spoke with Dick, in April 2016, Donald Trump was only running for president. Now, one year into the Trump presidency, Cavett weighs in on the state of our union. Plus, the always-witty host regales with stories about Jack Parr, Johnny Carson, Groucho Marx, Alfred Hitchcock, and more. It is a real treat to chat with him.

Woo hoo! for the first time in two years, Fox 5 anchor Annie Yu joins the gang! And as always, she is great fun: she sings, raps, dances, talks about her parents and her cute 5-year-old daughter's odd relationship with Apple's Siri! Plus, Annie and Tony talk about what it's like teaming up on Saturday mornings for "Fox News Morning".   Also: Gary, Annie and Rob take the "American Coke vs. Mexican Coke" taste test! And: Another "wood" update (!); a special "Happy Birthday" announcement: and new music from U2! Rock on!

Radio superstar DONNIE SIMPSON returns to the studio and joins Tony and Gary to talk about re-uniting on the radio with Tony, and MUCH more; as it always is when Donnie visits, it is uproarious fun!  Plus, Donnie weighs in as we reveal the winner in the new round of our "Worst Song of All Time" contest! ALSO: Gary tells the AMAZING and hilarious tale of his drive down to D.C., and the unfortunate situation he found himself in. (It involves a Starbucks cup.) You DO NOT want to miss this story!

Jeez, you have a dirty mind!)   Plus: Tony "flies"! Kind of. And Gary celebrates New Year's early, with the "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" crew. Also, a tribute (of sorts) to the celebrities we lost in 2017. This one's all over the place, and a great way to start off 2018. Happy New Year!!!

The gang returns for a big Christmas spectacular, and it is chock full! First: Tony makes a HUGE announcement about upcoming changes in his professional life! Then Gary announces his New Year's Eve plans (and it involves network TV!).

Hey, friends! As you know, Tony has been down for the count with bronchitis and laryngitis. Although he is feeling better, he was still unable to record a new episode this past weekend. So here, for your listening pleasure, is an encore presentation of last year's holiday episode, which features the hysterical comedian TONY WOODS!  Enjoy, and Happy Holidays to you and yours. We'll be back with an all new show SOON!

Friends! Due to Tony's ongoing battle with bronchitis and laryngitis, the guys were unable to record a new show this past weekend. But they'll be back with an all-new episode NEXT week! In the meantime, here's an encore presentation of episode 93 from May 2016, "Now Removes More". It features satirist Will Durst, a great new game called "Idiom", and ads for some products that make some rather odd claims!   Enjoy! And here's a little tease for you: On next week's show, Tony makes a BIG announcement!!!

This week's show may be one of our funniest yet: Gary and Tony have dinner, and as is usually the case, it doesn't go entirely smoothly.  Plus, the whole gang rates this season's upcoming movie releases, without having seen any of the films! (Who needs to actually see them?!) Also: A "Celebrity Encounter" from Tony (!), and a very special guest:  Rob's mom, Anita Ford! This one's mom-tastic!

In the wake of the passing of pop icon David Cassidy, Tony and Gary talk to David's longtime producer, arranger, keyboardist, and friend, Craig Snider, about what it was like to work with and tour with David. He also provides insight into what David's final days were like. PLUS:  Craig shares an EXCLUSIVE, NEVER-BEFORE-HEARD piece of music from David Cassidy's final recording sessions and it is unlike ANYTHING you've heard David do before! It's great, and you will ONLY hear it here! ALSO: Highlights from Tony and Gary's emotional and revealing conversation with David, from 2014. It is truly touching. And finally: Gary's hotel room debacle, and a quick chat with jazz singer (and wife of Gary) Sarah Partridge, about what could be a very exciting week for her! This episode is dedicated, with love, to David Cassidy and his family.

On this year's all-new Thanksgiving episode, Tony tells some "Thanksgiving Horror Stories", Gary introduces the "Best TV Catch Phrases" game, and Rob loses his voice! PLUS: Gary talks about his night hanging out with RINGO STARR (!!!), and Tony presents cool new music from Greta Van Fleet. There's LOTS to be thankful for!

On this week's show, Gary talks about the passing of his mother-in-law, as only Gary would. The conversation is touching, yet also completely hilarious. He also gives Tony MAJOR grief for something Tony DIDN'T do in the wake of the death! Plus:  What NOT to say to people who are in mourning; the return of the "What Does It Mean?" game; fascinating Fats Domino and Beatles trivia; and comedy from Nick Swardson, Robin Williams, and Carol Burnett. Despite this week's "theme", we think you'll find plenty of laughs!

Due to a death in Gary's family (we'll give you the details on our next show), we were unable to record a new show this past weekend. Instead, we bring you an encore presentation of one of our all-time favorites, from May of 2016: Tony and Gary's extraordinary conversation with TV talk show great DICK CAVETT. It is a fun and wide-ranging chat, and Dick doesn't disappoint. Plus, Rob Ford does another great job of adding to the interview with wonderful clips that highlight the moments Cavett talks about. We're really proud of this one. Enjoy, and we'll be with you next week with an all-new episode!

On this rollicking NEW episode, the guys welcome back the lovely Angela Stribling, of the nationally-heard love, sex, romance and music show "Pillow Talk with Angela Stribling". As always, Angela is fun and delightful, and she once again puts up with LOTS of silliness from Tony, Gary, and Rob!  PLUS: "I'm Sorry, What Did You Say?"; Gary goes to the DMV; and Tony has ear trouble.

This week Tony, Gary and Rob welcome Tony's Fox 5 colleague JIM LOKAY, host of the new, off-beat political show "The Final Five". In addition to being a great newsman, Jim is a very funny guy; he even does celebrity impressions! In this episode, Tony pits Jim and Gary against each other in a hysterical game of "70's TV Trivia"! Also: Gary's dog Joe is NOT happy with him; PROOF that Tony was once one of D.C.'s "Top Bachelors"; and GREAT new music from a listener!

He is now the co-host of the popular new podcast "At the Movies with Arch and Ann", which also stars previous TPGS guest Ann Hornaday, movie critic for The Washington Post. Arch talks about movies, the glory days of local TV, and his love for the late Jim Vance, arguably D.C.'s most iconic news anchor.

On our ALL NEW, THIRD ANNIVERSARY SHOW (!), the guys welcome comedian JASON WEEMS, who not only has the gang cracking up, but also has them riveted with the AMAZING story of how he DIED earlier this year and was brought back to life by an incredible medical team! It is a jaw-dropping and truly dramatic story. ALSO: Gary returns from his camping trip; Tony survives his sleep study; and a brand new, albeit somewhat inappropriate game! This one's special!

This is a truly special conversation, AND it features some really great music!

Gary's not thrilled, and Tony's not impressed with his selection of breed. Plus: A call to Gary's dry cleaner (who does not treat Gary like a valued customer!); "Are THESE the best Beatles songs EVER?"; and "Last Week in the News".

Donnie, Tony and Gary have an instant rapport, and it was a warm, funny, and comfortable conversation.
