Emmy-winning comedy writer and producer Frank Santopadre, renowned for co-hosting the often Marx-focused Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast, joins us for an insightful conversation. Frank shares how he first became a fan of the team and reveals his favorite Marx film (it's not Go West, by the way). He also reflects on his time working with Gilbert, including memorable interviews with friends, family, and co-stars of the brothers. Frank illuminates the historical importance of these chats, as the number of people who personally knew or worked with the Marxes is rapidly dwindling. And yes, we'll apologize now for the detour to Skidoo.

Originally aired Dec. 6, 2022. Frank Santopadre is a veteran comedy writer and the longtime co-host of “Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast,” with the late, great Gilbert Gottfried. Prior to working with Gilbert, Frank helped to write jokes and supporting material for numerous awards shows (including the Daytime Emmys, the TV Land Awards, and the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize). He has also written comics for Bazooka Joe bubble gum, and mock ad copy, concepts, and character profiles for the Topps Company's popular Wacky Packs and Garbage Pail Kids trading cards series. Oh, and did we mention he also wrote for Mad and Cracked magazines? And the somewhat less zany The New York Times, The Washington Post, People, US Weekly, and Politico? Along the way, he has created comedy material for an eclectic line-up of celebrated personalities, including Bill Murray, Howard Stern, Sarah Silverman, Meryl Streep, Martin Short, and Ben Stiller, and briefly served as a staff writer on what he proudly calls “the worst sitcom in television history”—a forgettable show from the late ‘90s called “Lost on Earth,” hailed by The Los Angeles Times during its mercifully-brief run as “mirthless.” Join us for a somewhat more mirth-filled hour, as we talk about what it was like to help give voice to one of the most singular voices in the annals of American comedy—a joyful burden Frank kinda, sorta shared with podcast host Daniel Paisner, who collaborated with Gilbert Gottfried on his 2011 memoir Rubber Balls and Liquor.

Graciously joined by Emmy winning writer and co-host of Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast, Frank Santopadre, cohosts Dino & Mike tackle two Baltimore-based tales of redemption and hope in I Eat Movies #37: FRANK SANTOPADRE SELECTS! - The Accidental Tourist (1988) / Men Don't Leave (1990). First up, Lawrence Kasdan adapts Anne Tyler's best-seller The Accidental Tourist (1988) where William Hurt (Body Heat), struck by tragedy and living an isolated existence, glimpses a chance at a new beginning with the most unexpected of people. Co-starring Geena Davis (Beetlejuice) in the role that earned her an Oscar, the ensemble cast and tonal shifts from melancholy to quirky humor made this a critical hit deserving of more eyes on it. Next up, director Paul Brickman's long awaited (and only!) follow-up to Risky Business, Men Don't Leave (1990) serves as a complimentary drama with a stellar lead performance from Jessica Lange that came and went with little fanfare... until now. Also, Frank has prescriptions older than Mike, contrasting critical notices on Kasdan's drama from Ebert, Maslin & Kael, cinematic “big swings”, and the state of dramatic adult fare in the movies of today are all discussed in this latest helping of I Eat Movies!

It's the quick fill-in episode to end all quick fill-in episodes! With Kornflake still unavailable (busy at a lobster-and-British-comedy convention, we assume), there's nobody left in the studio except Kevin and a few stray rubber chickens. So we just have a bunch of podcast recommendations for you, because somebody out there must have more going on than us. There are the other fine shows of the ESO Network, of course, including two new ones: 3 Fries Short (all about Stargate) and Tales From Hollywoodland (with special guest STEVE GUTTENBERG)! Beyond ESO, we also recommend: A Podcask of Amontillado, Bizarre Albums, Built to Go, Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, Mallwalkin', The Dana Gould Hour, TV Guidance Counselor, Decoder Ring, Dreamland, The Funny Music Podcast, Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast, Gleaming the Tube, Hit Parade, The Hustle, Luke and Carrie's Bad Rapport, The Real Brady Bros, The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe, Strange Animals Podcast, and Who Cares About the Rock Hall. We could go on, but that should get you through the week. And if you'd rather rip out those earbuds and read something instead, we're also enjoying the new book Galloping Around the Cosmos. It's a collection of essays about growing up with Star Trek, and several of the authors are friends of the Flopcast. It makes us want to break out our old Mego Enterprise playset. Next week: We'll either get back to our usual silly business, or we'll turn the whole show over to the chickens. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network! The Flopcast on Facebook!

This was a good one, Rebels. Frank was a real treat to talk to, and as you'll hear, lots of fun.He's really made a great career out of a lifelong passion. And what dumb luck for me that he's friends with my old neighbor? (Well, most of my luck is dumb, to be honest...) Face it. The guy knows how to make things sound good, which is only a small reason to check out "Everyday Odysseys" and the upcoming "Unsung". It's not only an audio-immersive experience, it's also got the great storytelling element that will hold your interest throughout. Unlike mine, which may cause snoring.

A good friend, a fellow geek and the longtime co-host of Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast. It's a wide-ranging interview. Very funny and also very touching and I'm very grateful to Frank for sitting down with us. True Tales From Weirdsville has the story of MKUltra, the CIA's experiments with LSD in the 1950's. It could also be known as Operation: What Could Go Wrong?

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner, and I am your every-other-weekly host for this particular week's episode of "Succotash" that happens to be #308… welcome to it! Last week in Epi307, my co-host and your every-other-show-host Marc Hershon, who is also the executive producer of Succotash these 11+ years, dipped into the archive to revisit, indeed re-broadcast, Episode 88 of Succotash when it was still called Succotash, The Comedy Podcast Podcast, and yours truly was still the associate producer sending in 3 or so clips an episode to help total an average of six. That was what it was like listening to Succotash in 2014 and you should know that the clips contained in that episode were from the soundcasts Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast, ( the premiere episode, I should add…), John Dredge's Nothing To Do With Anything Show, The Jockularity Show, Geeks with Wives & Capes, The Crunch Time Show, What a Pair of Trousers!, Old Enough To Know Better, Like I'm An Idiot, and Picnic Time Podcast. That makes NINE podcast clips…10 if you count the snippet of Chillpak Hollywood Hour… and why wouldn't you? That episode also had 2 full "Bursts O' Durst" from Raging Moderate Will Durst for good measure… oh, and also a Henderson's Pants ad … "Air-Cooled Culottes" I believe… You can find that episode in episode #307 as previously stated, or you can go to the show archive at www.succotashshow.com and find it in it's original form between episodes 87.5 and 89. This week, I've got a show of firsts for you. Three of them. Three clips, each from a debut episode of a soundcast. The clips are from the shows The Tumbler's Willy Podcast, No One Can Know About This: A Podcast Where We Play Every Final Fantasy, and Just Say Julie. I also have an ad from our longtime Fake Sponsor Henderson's Pants for their patented Sleepover Slax. All right, without further delay, let's get to the clips! CLIPS The Tumbler's Willy Podcast Tumbler's Willy is the longest-running TV drama in the world - so how come you've never heard of it until now? Maybe you're a cultural sloth, or perhaps you've just been busy chasing your dreams. Whatever, now's your chance to discover what you've been missing for the last 120 years. Join American sitcom writer Andy Bobrow and UK children's author Andy Stanton as they take a deep and incredibly dumb dive into this most British-est of shows. If you've got any sense at all, you won't believe your ears. My clip is from the first episode that dropped on March 15th of this year, entitled "Silence and Sound". No One Can Know About This: A Podcast Where We Play Every Final Fantasy A podcast where the hosts literally play every Final Fantasy, using recordings from actual play sessions mixed with commentary from their future selves. Hosted by Jeff Eckman and Ryan Kasmiskie. Our snippet hails from their debut installment, which posted back in December of 2017, and was called "An Unexamined Life." Just Say JulieMiss Julie Brown (MTV's Just Say Julie, Medusa, Attack of the 5'2 Women & more!) talks anything and everything with sidekick and producer Benny Laurence. Anything is possible on this podcast/webshow so stay tuned! It just got started this year, with the first episode bowing on February 9th of this year. In the first episode, Julie reads title suggestions from Twitter and talks Bachelor conspiracies with friend and producer, Benny. And in this clip, there a little about how Miss Brown and Ms. Laurence met… And just like that, another episode done and in the archives… also on Google and Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Audible, Amazon Music, Soundcloud, Podchaser.com, Podbay, and on YouTube. That's right, you can listen on YouTube. If you are interested in Gaming videos, you can find many of various types and audience age range appropriateness… Currently, I've been doing "let's plays" of educational apps such as having to do with Peppa Pig, or the internet Edutainment sensation Blippi. I've also played "house flipper" but I have yet to edit that. At any rate, thank you for listening, tune in next week for episode 309 within which I imagine Marc Hershon will have cooked up something fantastic for you to sample and enjoy. Until then, be decent to each other, thank a hospital worker for their service if you should happen across one out in the world not within a hospital's boundaries, and… if someone asks you if you have heard anything good lately, or perhaps you are on Twitter and someone asks for podcast recommendations, and we come to mind, won't you please…pass the Succotash? — Tyson Saner

Greetings, listener, and apologies for the late drop this week. I'm Marc Hershon, your every-other-weekly host of this here roundup of comedy soundcast clips and sometimes interviews we call Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. This is Episode 307 BUT, due to me being WAY too crazy this past week – my wife and I are in the process of purchasing a home and also trying to work and do soundcast reviews AND draw a weekly editorial cartoon and… Well, you can empathize that I was just too slammed to snip some fresh clips this week. So we're going to do a good old fashioned throwback or, as they used to call them, rerun from 8 years ago this month. That's right! June 12th, 2014 was the drop date for Epi88, and I'm going to tell you more about it in just a moment. But first, if you missed LAST week's Epi306, served up by my esteemed alternating co-host Tyson Saner, then you missed “Clips from Friends of the Show”, wherein he featured snippets from The JV Club with Janet Varney, The Writers Panel and The Boogie Monster. Get to it now, won't you, over on Apple & Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Audible.com, iHeart Radio, YouTube, Soundcloud and on our own homesite, SuccotashShow.com. So. Eight years ago or so it was an episode entitled “Sippin' Clips” and I was crowing about having won a 1st place award from the California Newspaper Publishers Award for my editorial cartoons in the Half Moon Bay Review. First time ever! And in the episode from yesteryear you're about to hear, I featured WAY more clips than we do now – and Tyson Saner, who had only recently been dubbed Associate Producer of this program, furnished a bunch of those clips. They came from some shows that are still around and some shows that have…well, gone on permanent hiatus. Some of the hosts of those shows may have gone away as well. In particular, Gilbert Gottfried, as we featured a clip from his very first episode of Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast. In addition to that we clipped from John Dredge's Nothing To Do With Anything Show, The Jockularity Show, Geeks with Wives & Capes, The Crunch Time Show, What A Pair of Trousers, Old Enough to Know Better, Like I'm An Idiot, and, finally, The Picnic Time Podcast. There are also not one but two segments of A Burst o' Durst, and – of course – a Henderson's Pants commercial. Tyson will be back next week with fresh clips, I promise, for Episode 308 and, in the meantime, enjoy this Succotash Leftovers: Episode 88… — Marc Hershon

I AM Marc Hershon, your host for this Epi303 edition of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. Just back from a 9-day vacation in sunny Hawaii, and I'm all rested and recharged. Not surprisingly, world events are still nothing to come home to – embattled Ukraine, Roe v Wade in imminent danger of being overturned by the Not-So-Supreme Court, and COVID still bopping along with surges and spikes and people pretty much pretending it's all better now. Yay. To take our minds off of such things, at least for a little while, I have a great guest I'm chatting with in this episode, and I'll tell you more about him after I ask if you had a chance to check out LAST week's installment of this show, entitled – appropriately – “A Very Special Episode”. Commanded by my co-host Tyson Saner, he took time to reflect back on the careers and soundcasts of three of our funniest, nicest, and recently passed comedians as he clipped  snippets from their shows: The Louie Anderson Podcast, Bob Saget's Here For You, and Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast. You can easily scoop it up from the usual distribution points like Apple & Google Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Audible.com and now Podchaser.com, too! And, of course, all 302 episodes of this show are available at our homesite, SuccotashShow.com. For THIS edition of Succotash, my guest is Pat Hazell, who is a multi-hyphenate threat as they used to say: comedian-writer-director-producer, and – as of the pandemic - soundcast host! Called Creativity in Captivity, the show is not so much about comedy as it is about cracking open the noggins of his guests, metaphorically speaking, and getting to the juicy nuggets of creative wisdom inside. Frequently, however, his guests ARE comics like Jerry Seinfeld, Brian Regan, Jackie Kashian and, as of THIS week's 50th episode of his show, Pat's guest is Nate Bargatze. Pat and I talk about a lot of topics, including where we first knew each other from, and you'll find him a fascinating guy. He's been a writer on Seinfeld, and award shows, and his own shows, and he's got some great stories, including a terrific backstage-at-the-Tonight-Show story from when he got to appear during Johnny Carson's last season on the show. This episode of Succotash is jokingly supported by the folks at Henderson's Pant, makers on the new Summer Stock Slax! I'm going to flick off the lights here in Mobile Studio MX-30 and shut it down but I wanted to thank our guest, Pat Hazell, for spending time chatting. Remember that Tyson will be by next week in this very same feed for Succotash Epi304, so be sure to subscribe wherever you like to get your soundcasts from, and I'll see you the week after that. Until next time, if you're lying on a sunny tropical beach and an attractive young person pauses at your beach towel and asks if you've heard anything good lately, won't you please pass the Succotash? — Marc Hershon

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner and I will be you host for this, I don't know that there is a better way to put this, "Very Special Episode" of Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast that numbers #302. Before I get into what I mean I'd like to take a moment to remind you that Succotash celebrated 11 years of showcasing other soundcasters via clips of their efforts. That coincided with our 300th episode, which executive producer and show creator Marc Hershon and I co-hosted simultaneously - which might sound like an odd way to put it, but it shouldn't be odd to regular listeners who know that Mr. Hershon and I have been hosting weekly episodes more-or-less every-other-episode for the last 2 years, and it is really only on special occasions that we might both be bringing you the same episode, at the same time. There's a great recap of Epi300 IN Epi301 in which Marc brought you a quartet of clips from the soundcasts Aristotle Full Throttle, Brilliant Observations, The Jann Arden Podcast, and TheKnuckleheadsPodcast. That episode can still be found over at SuccotashShow.com and wherever soundcasts can be streamed and/or downloaded…except Spotify for the time being and the foreseeable future. Now, if you wouldn't mind my attempting to explain what I mean by this being a "Very Special Episode" I will begin that now. This is a memorial episode. We have lost a great many comedians in the last year or so. I have chosen to feature three of the recently departed, and  I based my selection process on my personal preference for starters, but mostly on the fact that there's a pretty remarkable photograph that Gilbert Gottfried, who passed away after "a long illness" on April 12, 2022, posted to his Twitter account. It was of him, Louie Anderson, who succumbed to cancer on January 21st of 2022, and Bob Saget, who died due to head trauma earlier that same January on the 9th.There's an article on the Huffington Post about the photo that you can find here. I was, as many people were, shocked and saddened by the passings of Mr. Anderson and Mr. Saget, but Mr. Gottfried's passing really bummed me the fuck out, and it is still pretty fresh as I write this on the 23rd of April, less than 2 weeks later. When I saw this photograph, along with how understandably eerie it seemed, it inspired me to revisit Mr. Gottfried's podcast which, in turn, inspired me to create this episode that attempts to both celebrate the humor and humanity of these folks, and memorialize them in some fashion. So, in this episode, I've got clips from The Louie Anderson Podcast, Bob Saget's Here For You, and Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast. I will be including a classic "Henderson's Pants" spot about something called PC Jeans because it seems like it could the most appropriate choice of the fake ads for our fake sponsor that I have available to me. I need to point out that I will still be including social media account information after each clip. (Quite a few folks have died with Twitter accounts, many of whom I still follow, and the accounts are usually maintained by people who keep the legacy alive with information about events such as additional materials like unpublished memoirs, final stand-up specials, charities supported, etc.) I will also be providing info to the various charities as I find them. If you know of any additional charities supported by the comedians featured in this episode, feel free to contact the show via the emails which will be mentioned at the end of the program. Ok, let's get to it and cope with our grief together… CLIPS The Louie Anderson Podcast The Louie Anderson Podcast is a conversation with comedians, entertainers and others about their journey. My featured clips comes from the February 13th, 2015 episode in which The Amazing Johnathan talks magic, Letterman, drugs and his current health situation. (If you'd care to, you can go back into the archives of Succotash to find Episode 95, called "Interfacin' with The Amazing Johnathan" from 2014. Johnathan Szeles and Mr. Hershon had worked on a Merv Griffin game show project in the past called Ruckus which you can definitely find clips of on YouTube. One charity I found that was supported by Louie with a search on Look To The Stars was Comic Relief, which you can learn more about by visiting https://www.comicrelief.com/ Bob Saget's Here For You Bob Saget's Here For You is a podcast that is like no other— For one, this podcast has guests who are friends of Bob's, or just really interesting people who many of you know and love. Secondly, this podcast is unique because it goes inside Bob Saget's mind, and then quickly filters out through his mouth. Bob has a way of calming people he has conversations with as well as being entertaining and often informative. Bob talks with his guests with genuine empathy and humor, while reaching his unusually diverse audience that he talks to as a friend, Bob is the dad with great advice, the irreverent funny guy who's always there when you need a laugh, and the free-associative Bob who goes off on crazy tangents then returns to the subject at hand, as serious or as comedic as it may be, to wrap up each episode in a way only Bob can do. Because he really does believe, “He's here for you." Our clip is from the last episode to post, on Jan 31, 2022, appropriately titled "Final Episode: Dane Cook" Comedian, actor, and long-time friend Dane Cook joins the podcast for its final episode. Dane shares his journey to the stage, opening up about his battle with social anxiety as a child and how his parents' personalities influenced his acts. Bob and Dane tackle a share of serious subjects, including their memories of the late Robin Williams and Louis Anderson, how pain can develop into great comedy, and Dane's experience having to put his older half-brother in jail. (With a foreword from Bill Burr that was included in the episode posted previous to this with Margaret Cho). Bob Saget had also been a Board Member of the Sceleroderma Research Foundation since 2003.You can find more information about it at www.srfcure.org Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast Comedian and actor Gilbert Gottfried, a man Stephen King once called “a national treasure,” talks with the show business legends, icons and behind-the-scenes talents who shaped his childhood and influenced his comedy. Along with co-host and fellow pop culture fanatic Frank Santopadre, Gilbert is joined by comics, actors, musicians, talk show hosts, writers and other eyewitnesses to Hollywood history, including Bruce Dern, Chevy Chase, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Adam West, Steve Buscemi, Micky Dolenz, Jim Gaffigan, Judd Apatow and DOZENS more, for a funny, frenetic, fly-on-the-wall look at showbiz then and now (but mostly then.) I snipped this clip from the show that posted April 11th, 2022 - Bob Costas Encore. The GGACP ushers in the start of the 2022 baseball season with this encore of a 2015 interview with Emmy-winning sportscaster, journalist and Baseball Hall of Famer Bob Costas, recorded at the New York Friars Club. Also in this episode: Bob analyzes “Top Cat," imitates Howard Cosell, “interviews” Jack Palance and recites Babe Ruth's farewell speech. PLUS: "The Million Dollar Movie"! Crazy Guggenheim returns! Rod Steiger emotes! Shirley MacLaine clams up! Gilbert sings the theme from “Underdog”! And the boys praise the under-appreciated genius of Bud Abbott! In Honor/Memory of Gilbert Gottfried who passed "Too Soon" of Myotonic Dystrophy Type Two: Please consider a donation to the research of this debilitating disease. Donate here: http://giveto.urmc.edu/DM2Research By show's end I do hope that you find something to enjoy.There are so many soundcasts out there, and none of us could possibly listen to them all. I wonder what the percentage is of comedians that have podcasts? I imagine it is a large percentage. Personally, comedians and musicians are among my favorite classes of people. Aside from loved ones or people that I know well in my actual life, comedians and musicians seem to leave the biggest gaps in the world when they leave us behind. Thankfully, they have a body of work that we can revisit if we were to desire to do so. We can laugh and sing with them until we literally cannot laugh and/or sing anymore for one reason or another, including our own deaths. Most importantly, if you love people or otherwise hold them in high regard, don't miss an opportunity to express the way you feel about them to them. You never know when it will be too late. I don't really have anything new to add as far as those sorts of sentiments go. I just keep on keepin' on because that's what we do. We carry on because we must. So, tune in next week for Marc Hershon's episode 303 and I will hopefully talk at you in two weeks for Epi304. Until then, be decent to each other, try to stay safe, and if someone asks you if you have heard anything worth listening to lately and we come to mind, don't forget to pass the Succotash… — Tyson Saner

Change is difficult. Some embrace it, some resist it. It might seem obvious, but change is inevitable.Welcome to episode 92 of See Hear Podcast.Jazz is an art form that never remained stagnant. Through creativity or financial necessity, post-war jazz moved from the big swing orchestras to smaller ensembles and bebop became the dominant form. In the late 50s, some jazz musicians decided that, as exciting as bebop was, they wanted to take jazz music in a different direction with band members not having to rely on a structure – neither rhythmically, melodically, or tonally. Avant garde jazz had its champions over the years including people like Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Cecil Taylor, Carla Bley, Albert Ayler and Sun Ra amongst many others.Bernie and I speak with drummer and film director Tom Surgal about his great new documentary “Fire Music: The Story of Free Jazz”. His documentary tells the story of how this music was developed and supported over the years. The music had many detractors – music venue owners, jazz publications, and saddest of all, other jazz musicians – those who were afraid of the music's evolution. Given that there appears to be no attempt to put free jazz into its perspective on film (and we speak about who is possibly responsible for that).Tom was a fantastic conversationalist and we spoke about his own performance background, how musicians took on a DIY attitude when the mainstream rejected them (and probably influenced punk years later), how free jazz musicians formed collectives, angry sounding music being full of love, civil rights, and the music's ongoing legacy. Also, Tom tells a story about Charlie Parker and Miles Davis that would probably find a happy home on Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast.Our huge thanks to Tom for being such a wonderful guest and to Lin Culbertson (who scored the film) for organising the chat.You can go to the website https://www.firemusic.org/ for all information about screenings and to keep an eye out for the streaming and physical media release.If you've been enjoying the show, please consider giving us a favourable review on iTunes and let your friends know that our show exists.

In this episode, hosts Alan and Walt welcome a returning guest from season 3, Pat McCormack of The Golden Rage of TV. If you missed Pat's interview from last season, we highly recommend you go back and listen. Pat does give a short, Readers Digest version of his backstory, leading to the creation of The Golden Rage of TV channel on YouTube. Initially, the channel provided a spotlight to his incredible guitar work. Pat would take classic television themes and put a hard rock guitar edge to them. He admits his masterpiece is Funeral March of a Marionette (strongly associated with the Alfred Hitchcock Show). Runner up to that was his Joe Satriani-like rendition of the Get Smart theme. But, with age and some hearing issues, Pat made a change to creating mini, bite-sized documentaries or did-you-know episodes for his channel. Now, with hundreds of videos to watch, Pat is continuing to find new ways to bring the classic age of TV to life. Pat McCormack hangs out through the remainder of the show, which was an absolute blast. Walt had to review yet another horribly bad film. Then, he and Alan went through some strange news items. Finally, they all weighed in on the entertainment segment, sharing what they have been watching, reading and listening to. WATCHING Walt admits he is still fixated on the Olympics. He continues to binge Hill Street Blues on Hule and is working his way thorugh season two of The Movies That Made Us on Netflix. Alan re-watched the Harrison Ford flick, The Fugitive, with his wife and visiting Father-in-Law. Outside of that, Alan continues to catch the YouTube channels, Popcorn in Bed, Ashleigh Burton and Listening In. Cassie, from Popcorn in Bed, reacted to Jurassic Park, The Grand Budapest Hotel and What About Bob? Ashleigh reacted to The Producers, The Outsiders, Captain American: The First Avenger and Robocop. Listening In broke down a Bond theme that was never used, explored the score to Inside Out and discussed why the song, "When She Loved Me," makes us cry. Pat has been onto a lot of sports, including the Olympics and baseball. However, he admits to unwiding at the end of the day with re-runs of The Munsters on Kozy. READING Alan and Walt both are stuck trying to get back to the Star Trek behind the scenes book. Walt is also going through, "The History of the Road Trip." Pat took us all off guard with the gripping tale from his Nesspresso owner's manual. LISTENING Walt started to listen to the podcasts, The Neighborhood Listen, Dr. Death and Team Never Quit. Alan went back to one of the very first New Age albums he ever heard, Ray Lynch's, "Deep Breakfast." He also revisted Ray Lynch's, "No Blue Thing." Additionally, Alan binged episodes of The Great Escape Minute podcast and Radio Labyrinth. Pat listens to the radio show, "BK on the Air, every Saturday morning on WBHF. He also enjoys the podcasts, You Must Remember This and Gilbert Godfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast.

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner and welcome to episode #255 of Succotash, formerly Succotash Shut-In, formerly Succotash The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, formerly Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. Now in our 5th season and 10th year. Last week in Epi254, original show host and my every-other-week co-host Marc Hershon brought you a quartet of clips from the soundcasts Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast, The Amazing Nerd Show, I Shake My Head, and Who’s Right?. That show is still available wherever you listen to soundcasts…or "podcasts" as many people still refer to them as. Of course you can also listen to the archived version of the show at our homesite www.Succotashshow.com. This week I'm bringing you some clips as well. I'm still looking around for guests and I do have a couple lined up but that's for a future "chats" episode and since you are here with me now and I've got clips for you then this will be a clips show. This episode's clips are from the soundcasts Childlike At Best with Mike Valdes, Shut Up, I Love It, and Distractible. I've also got an advertisement from Succotash's longtime sponsor Henderson's Pants for their new CoverAlls for you that is specific to "this time of year"…whatever THAT means. (I do realize that it makes no sense to say "whatever THAT means" in this context due to the fact that it would be a ridiculous thing to suggest that I didn't know EXACTLY what I meant when I said that. The particular "that" being the "THAT" in "whatever THAT means". Please take note of the quotation marks you can't see me using if you aren't reading this.) Tally-Ho! CLIPS Childlike At Best with Mike Valdes Every week your favorite grown up kid, Mike Valdes, chats with his favorite people about adolescence. Listen as they dive into a cereal bowl full of nostalgia, funny stories & more! Our featured clip from Mike's April 26th, 2021, episode, in which he chatted with Josh Sneed (DryBar Comedy, Comedy Central) about growing up in Cincinnati, getting booed at a baseball game, & learning that you're never too old to have an all-out Nerf war at work. Their featured cereal for the episode was Kellogg's Little Debbie: Oatmeal Creme Pies cereal! Shut Up I Love It Comedy writers Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello host Shut Up I Love It, a comedy soundcast that celebrates the aspects of life that make you go "Ooh!" and others go "Yuck!". Our clip is from the May 9th, 2021, episode featuring guest Erika Curry, a writer/performer and co-host of the Trashy Trashy Podcast. She's also a big fan of a classic cult film Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) starring the drop-dead-gorgeous Denise Richards, Allison Janney, Amy Adams, Brittany Murphy and a couple of Kirstens. Distractible The Distractible podcast with Mark Fischbach, Wade Barnes, and Bob Muyskens is a space to have thoughtful discussions about funny, out there, or otherwise interesting stories from everyday life. Also an opportunity for three friends to remind each other they are not as smart as they think. The featured clip is from the spisode that dropped May 17th, 2021 entitled "Hair", wherein the guys discuss all things hair (and the lack there of)! They warn of the dangers of hair removal, explore the strange hair trends of ancient Greek statues, and discuss sci-fi scenarios where the elite harvest hair and organs from the less fortunate. I chose this clip because…Teratoma… And that's all the content I have for you this week. I do hope you enjoy what you hear, and maybe now you'll have an idea for what to listen to next…Maybe you had that already…maybe you were going to listen to one of our past episodes next? It's possible. As I said before, you can find the show archive at SuccotashShow.com (and we do have easily a few hundred other soundcasts that we've featured over the years as possible future listening for you to pass the time with. There's so many more soundcasts out there now than there were when Succotash started...and not everyone is still around…but their archives usually are…often on Google podcasts, iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Podbay, IheartRadio, just to name a few…and you should look into them if you are interested enough to do so. Thank you for spending time with us, and if you wouldn't mind terribly, could you tell people about us? It's what we mean when we ask you to please pass the Succotash… — Tyson Saner

Greetings, friend. This is, indeed, Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, Episode 254, and vaxed, taxed, and maxed, I am your every-other-weekly host, Marc Hershon. I’m in the Big chair here at Succotash every other week. Which means for last week, Epi253, Tyson Saner was holding down the fort. He featured three comedy soundcast clips, including Corridor Cast, Let's Chat! with Chris Revill, and Blank Check with Griffin & David. What’s that you say? You missed it?! Never fear, you can still catch it wherever fine soundcasts are streamed and/or downloaded, including Apple & Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, iHeart Radio, YouTube and hard to belief but our own homesite: SuccotashShow.com. As for what I have in store for you this week, I shall not hold you in suspense any longer. We’ve got fun-sized chunks from Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast, The Amazing Nerd Show, I Shake My Head, and Who’s Right? This episode is brought to you by Henderson’s Pants, who are reissuing the very first pair of specialty jeans that we advertised on this show 10 years ago: Henderson’s Turtleneck Slax! CLIPS Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal PodcastOne of my favorite go-to comedy soundcasts is Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast. Gilbert's always got amazing guests and they always end up wandering down the most bizarre and wonderful sidetracks during the conversation. Sidekick Frank Santopadre helps to goad Gil and his guests back onto the main path (although he’s sometimes the one steering them into the weeds.) They recently had comedian Jeff Altman on and, if you don’t know Jeff, there was a point in time, back in the 1980s, when he was everywhere. In this clip, Jeff and Gilbert talk about the Comedy Store in LA and about how Jeff’s friendship with David Letterman began. The Amazing Nerd ShowOnto our second Amazing show of the show, and we know it’s amazing because it’s right there in the title: The Amazing Nerd Show. Hosts Christian and Damon cover a lot of territory each episode because there’s a lot – across film, comic, horror, video games, wrestling, and more to nerd out about. In our featured clip, the guys watch the trailer for the upcoming GI Joe Snake Eyes movie and then both pretty much rip into it. It’s time for a word from our sponsor, Henderson’s Pants, and as I mentioned up top, this was the very first product that Henderson’s Pants advertised with us back in 2011: Their celebrated Turtleneck Slax! I Shake My HeadHere’s the second soundcast this episode that has its home over on the Podbean Network, and it’s one we’ve clipped before, back in Epi188 a couple of years ago. I Shake My Head is hosted by a couple of friends, Lisa Gibson and Samantha Sperling, women in their early 50s – they’ve been doing the show so long that in the About section of their website it, they’re described as being in their late 40s – and they converse about pretty much any topic that suits their fancy. In this clip, Lisa reveals to Samantha that she believes she has become a vegan, or at least a baby vegan. Who’s Right?The last clip out of the bag this episode is from Who’s Right? with Anthony and Doug, a show straight out of Kansas. It’s also the third soundcast in a row where I cannot find last names for the hosts. I’m not sure what that means. I do know that these guys kick around a lot of topics. I love the blurb for their show up on Apple Podcasts: “Doug and Anthony tackle big issues and wrestle with the ramifications that come from doing no research.” Kinda tells you everything you need to know. In this clip, they get into whether ‘tis nobler to vax or not to vax…or to just lie about having gotten the jab at all. That's the steaming helping of Succotash in store for you this week. I hope you get enough. If not, I heartily welcome you back next week for some more tasty snippets that are being carefully curated, even as we speak, but my cohort and co-host Tyson Saner. Until then, if someone should happen to approach you and ask if you’ve heard anything good lately, won’t you please pass the Succotash? — Marc Hershon

Do you like Patrick Bateman? We're not actually here to discuss American Psycho, so the point is probably moot.We ARE here, however to discuss Bateman's favourite band outside of Huey Lewis and the News, Genesis.Welcome to episode 140 of Love That Album.Popular myth suggests that the world is broken up into two sorts of people – those who like their rock music straight forward and edgy, and those who like virtuoso noodling with complex counterpoint and time signatures. That latter group group can be broken up into two groups – those who like Gabriel-era Genesis, and those who like 80s pop Genesis. The problem is, what about the four albums in between? (Or maybe the problem is I'm just talking guff).In 1980, the trio of Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks released what could be considered their final album that tipped its hat to the more progressive rock days while looking forward to the popular monster that they would become in the 1980s. That album is Duke.I am joined by sound engineer, Frank Verderosa. Up until last year, he was a part of the Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast team. He's a long time Genesis fan across all eras, but this album holds a very strong place in his heart. We had a great discussion with focus on Duke, but also discuss whether the latter Genesis albums are bereft of prog of any sort (and whether the early albums are completely free of pop), sound production values, film arcs and broadway musicals....and noticeably avoid any talk of serial killers. We DID make note of one thing that would guarantee Gilbert Gottfried's interest in having Phil Collins on his show....tune in and find out.I was thrilled to have Frank on as guest. Keep an eye out for when he finally unleashes his podcast Unsung: The People You Don't Know You Know...it's gonna be great.

His new book More Heroes of the Comics comes out this week from Fantagraphics, and the guys use this opportunity to finally have him on the podcast. Both have been big fans of Drew's work since they discovered it back in the heydays of Spy magazine, and after listening to how much fun the artist was on an early episode of Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast, Andy and Derek knew they had to get Drew on their show. And now with the release of the new book, they have the opportunity! The guys talk with Drew about this second installment in the Heroes of the Comics series and how it's both a continuation of, yet quite different from, the previous volume. Drew shares the decision-making process of inclusion, the art of portraiture, and the actual genesis of this series as a whole. This, in some ways, is similar to Friedman's earlier Old Jewish Comedian series, although there the artist set out to capture the entertainers in their later years, and with little text accompanying the portraits. In the Heroes of the Comics books, Drew pays tribute to both personage and context, as well as including brief biographical material on each artist. And in this second volume, Drew is specifically focused on very marginal figures in early comics history. Plus, their are anecdotes and laughs galore. After listening to this interview, be sure and check out and support "Vermeer of the Borscht Belt," a Kickstarter campaign currently going on for a full-length documentary about Drew Friedman. Why should you do this? Because Chico needs the money!

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried goes deep into stories of Old Hollywood with the guests on his Amazing Colossal Podcast. In this bonus clip, Gottfried recalls some highlights, such as when Boris Karloff's daughter reminisced about Karloff giving Frank Sinatra acting lessons, and David Steinberg told the story of winding up on then-President Richard Nixon's enemies list.
