Amber is a good friend and one of the few people I talk with fairly regularly. She is uniquely creative, darkly funny and honest; and wrote a terrific book called Sober Stick Figure a few years ago. I love the book, but we’ve never really talked with her about her experience with alcoholism, being in … Continue reading Amber Tozer – Hi Sobriety →

Christian & Shonali quickly admit to things they never have before in their newest segment called Admissions. The show is packed and hot, literally due to the fact that it is late June but also the lineup is yet again hawt with first guest comedian, performer, actor, writer Cole Escola in his summer wear: white denim cutoffs. Cole talks with us about growing up in rural Clatskanie, Oregon surrounded by a prison of trees, following a boyfriend to NYC, getting a tv series at a very young age, and his favorite catcalling moments. Check out his video Mom Commercial and die. We invite our WDEK friend Isabel Restrepo to Get It Off Her Chest and boy did she ever. WDEK's second guest of the night is comedian, writer and storyteller Amber Tozer who just published her memoir Sober Stick Figure, a book chronicling her life as an alcoholic and her eventual recovery all told with the help of childlike stick figures. For the most part her family has been supportive of her TMI book, but then there's Aunt Pam. Amber admits drinking is so fun but then it took a turn for her. Amber says she can become irritable and grouchy but Shonali can not imagine it. Shonali has to Get It Off Her Chest with a story about a recent bullying incident at a birthday party. Our last guest is Brad Lauretti, frontman of This Frontier Needs Heroes. Brad a former Brooklynite now lives in Jacksonville, Florida where he was inspired to start the Stetson Kennedy Songwriter Residency in Beluthahatchee Park, a place where both Woody Guthrie and Stetson Kennedy would spend time writing. Brad calls himself an artistic refugee with regard to his move from NYC to Jacksonville. He did not experience much culture shock moving to the south and claims that the south has changed dramatically since he was kid visiting his relatives in South Carolina. He noted he met an Italian person working in an Italian restaurant. Brad's music is beautiful and haunting. His newest album coming out soon is called Real Job. He sang three new tunes for our wonderful audience, Freemarket Music, I Love Immigration, and Don't Let the Dreamers Die. Listen and be amazed.

Amber Tozer has been my sidekick for most of my episodes. People love her and want to know more about her. Me too! First of all she has a book coming out in May! We want to develop our chemistry more. She's funny, smart, and insults me cruelly if I compliment her. Her niece Zoey calls in who does Bob Dylan singing You Are My Sunshine. I bring back Jeff Mandell to torment her. Here's a link to VERY early pre-order her book. http://www.amazon.com/Sober-Stick-Figure-Amber-Tozer/dp/0762459727/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444931076&sr=8-1&keywords=amber+tozer You MUST follower her on Twitter- https://twitter.com/AmberTozer Hey, how about my book too?! http://www.amazon.com/Maybe-Well-Have-You-Back/dp/162914567X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1444931170&sr=1-1&keywords=fred+stoller
Dennis Christopher was the charming star of the hit film, "Breaking Away" I love this guy! He has great stories about randomly meeting Fellini, and then working for him while on a trip to Europe, and being conned by Robert Redford, well, sort of. Quentin Tarantino was so enamored by his body of work, he sought him out and put him in Django Unchained. He's also been in Chariots of Fire, California Dreaming, Fade To Black, and so many other films. Also joining us is Gino who owes LA Speedweed. We talk about my new discovery of weed. Interesting stuff. And Sean Sweeney who REALLY knows movies stops by. And of course Amber Tozer.

Yeppers, it’s me, Marc Hershon. Your host and inflatable arm-flailing tubeman for Epi117 of Succotash, the Comedy Podcast Podcast. This is a Succotash Clips episode with one exception, which I’ll 'splain in a sec. I’m happy to have our associate producer Tyson Saner back helping me to harvest clips of podcasts far and wide. He was a little overwhelmed doing some moving recently so we gave him some well-earned vacation time from listenin’ and snippin’. But he’s back and we’ve got some interesting clips to get to. I’m one week back from the 4th Annual LA Podcast Festival and what a time I had. I was mostly dug in at the SquareSpace Podcast Lab, interviewing a few podcasters and then cutting, prepping and uploading those "minisodes". (You can find them all listed, essentially, under Epi116 at http://SuccotashShow.com and iTunes. I forgot to get them up to SoundCloud, but I’ll do that soon just to have them up there as well.) There was one last interview that I didn’t get a chance to produce and upload. That was with Michael John Simpson, co-host of The Something Something Experience podcast , so I’m going to break protocol — God, the network hates when I do this — and play that interview and a clip from Michael’s podcast as well. In addition to his show, we’ve got clippage from The Chillpak Hollywood Hour, The Mild Adventures of Fred Stoller, Human Conversation, Taco Tuesday, The Talking Podcast, The Hooray Show, The New Hollywood podcast, and the Why Didn’t They Laugh? podcast. We also have a double dose of our Burst O’ Durst segment, featuring political comedian and social commentator Will Durst, a classic Henderson’s Pants commercial, and an absurd folk song from our musical buddy, Abner Serd. Be sure to listen for that following Bill Heywatt’s closing credits. Clips Chillpak Hollywood HourImmediately following the LA Podfest, I was honored to be the first guest to Skype in on the Chillpak Hollywood Hour, with Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness, since they’ve gone international with Dean now hanging out down under in Australia. A little after 11 o’clock Sunday night, I pulled off the freeway into the parking lot of a KFC in Patterson, California, population 20,868. Dean and Phil wanted me to give them a review of the Ear Buds podcast documentary which had a couple of preliminary screenings at the podfest. In addition, I gave them and their listeners my take on the current State of the Podcast Union. The New HollywoodBrian Flaherty, host of The New Hollywood podcast, was our guest for Succotash Chats, Epi102, back at the end of the January of this year. I just reviewed his episode last week for both Splitsider and Huffington Post Entertainment, which featured his lengthy interview with the multi-talented and very entertaining Bill Hader. Since leaving SNL, Hader has been keeping himself busy – it seems like there is no acting job that guy won’t try – TV shows, commercials, and movies, including last year’s amazing The Skeleton Twins. Our clip features Hader outlining the audition process he had to go through to get on SNL. Human ConversationLast week was actually a review “two-fer” because I reviewed Human Conversation in addition to The New Hollywood. Human Conversation is a podcast that’s 20-something episodes in and I hadn’t heard about it until co-host Wayne Federman waded into the Podcast Lab at the LA Podfest. Wayne and I go way back but we’re not in touch all that often and this was the first I’d heard of his show, which he co-hosts with Erin McGathy, the significant other of Dan Harmon, the mayor of Harmontown. In the course of the show, she and Wayne talk about a variety of topics but the things is that neither is allowed to look up facts, figures, names, or anything else germane to the topics they discuss. Here, they talk about music and getting things done. Although Wayne and Erin don’t look up anything then and there during each episode, they DO look things up before the next episode and they kick every show off with a list of corrections. (I’ll have Wayne on an episode of Succotash Chats soon to talk about his monumental 30-year-project, The Federman Chronicles, which features parts of his standup comedy act dating back 30 years.) The Mild Adventures of Fred StollerI reviewed past guest and friend-of-Succotash Fred Stoller’s new podcast, The Mild Adventures of Fred Stoller, back when it debuted in July. We’d had Fred as a guest way, way back in Epi15, when doing his own podcast wasn’t even a twinkle in his mouth. We also clipped that episode I reviewed, with guest Robert Forester, but our Associate Producer Tyson Saner thought it was time for a rematch. The clip captures part of the opening to the show, which is part of a phone conversation of Fred trying explain the concept of a podcast to his mother. Also in this clip, he’s joined by sometimes-co-host Amber Tozer, and they discuss comedy and dating with guest Darren Carter and Nikki Sullivan. The Hooray ShowThe hosts of The Hooray Show, which we’ve not covered on this show before, are Horatio Sands and Chad Krueger. Horatio is, of course, from SNL. Krueger is a musician, perhaps best known as the lead singer and guitarist for Nickleback. In this clip, from their Season 2, Episode 6, they talk to guests Peter Murrieta and Jaime Moyer about the fire that swept through the Second City offices in Chicago earlier in September. The theater, I believe, was largely untouched, but the offices took quite a hit. The Talking PodcastFrom the UK comes The Talking Podcast, which is the most content-related blatant titling of a show I can remember. It features three brothers, Joseph Snelling, Oliver Snelling and George Trevor White, who, in the words of their homesite’s “Who Are We?”, “arrogantly assume that others would like to listen to them talking.” Tyson found this show and this clip, and I don’t know why the third brother’s last name, White, is not even close to that of his two brohams, which is Snelling. Here they talk about a family outing as boys on the Isle of Man. They also chat about Time as a concept. Heavy. Taco TuesdayOkay, I’ve mentioned on the show before that I really don’t care for pre-recorded promos. There’s nothing inherently wrong with them, but they can be easily played on any other podcast to help cross promote another podcast. Clips are much more illustrative of what a show really has going on. And the guys at the Taco Tuesday podcast — Uncle Dan, Adam Wolf, and Dave In The Cave —know that. We’ve clipped ‘em before. But this week, they sent along a promo – it’s got a head, a tail, some chit chat in-between, and music bed throughout the whole thing. Maddening. But because I love the Taco Tuesday guys (and because they got this promo here using our upload link at http://hightail.com/u/succotashshow), I’m going to let it slide. Why Didn’t They Laugh?Comedian Owen Benjamin, who is also an actor started a podcast where he tries to deconstruct his act. He plays portions of his performances and attempts to figure out what it was that kept an audience from laughing at the material. He’s almost 40 epis into Why Didn’t They Laugh? But our associate producer has clipped the very first episode, which features a recording of Owen’s father recounting a favorite joke. Tyson thinks the senior Benjamin sounds an awful lot like the late Spaulding Gray. The Something Something ExperienceWe slipped this clip of The Something Something Experience onto the end of my interview with Michael John Simpson. It features he and his "co-caster", Kitty Brown, and their visit with comedian Ron Swallow. It seems Swallow has backed off performing fulltime, and their discussion gets into the challenge of making ends meet offstage, working as a freelancer in various industries. Thanks for stuffing your ears full of Succotash Clips (with a little bit o’ chat). If you’d like to do a little something-something to pay us back for all this free chuckle n’ jivin’, we would adore your ratings and reviews up on iTunes, your thumbs-ups and reviews on Stitcher, a heart on SoundCloud, a Like on Facebook, a click on our Donate button or Amazon banner at http://SuccotashShow.com — any or all of those options will make us all very happy around Studio P and some of them will even get you mentioned on an upcoming episode of our show! Until next time, thanks very much for passing the Succotash! — Marc Hershon

We're live at The Open Space in Los Angles with great fun, behind the scenes stories, plus the first installment of Fred's Mob Tales.

We hope to do it more!
Anna Maria Horsford is such a delight. She has amazing stories working with Meryl Streep, Lucille Ball, Jack Nicholson, and on so many films and TV shows. She should have her on talk show or podcast. She brought along Brent who is her accountant, computer guy, something. It's kind of demented how they met, and why she likes having him around. Anna has not had one drop of alcohol in her life, but after this podcast, she went straight to the liquor store. I apologize again to Amber Tozer for not officially introducing her. This is my book coming out in paperback this month. http://www.amazon.com/Maybe-Well-Have-You-Back/dp/162914567X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Former child actors Madylin Sweeten and Ellen Latzen are so compelling describing how they got their big breaks, what it was like trying to be a normal kid, and what it's like trying to be a normal adult if there is such a thing. Madylin portrayed Allie, the daughter on Everybody Loves Raymond for 9 seasons. She has great stories what it was like being on that set, taking a break from the biz after it was over, and then trying to reinvent herself, and dealing with the nonsense of show business again while keeping her humanity. She talks candidly about losing her brother Sawyer in a tragic event this year. Ellen Latzen was Michael Douglass' daughter in Fatal Attraction, and then was on Broadway, and then portrayed Ruby Sue in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Family Ties.

How Sam Kass landed a gig as a staff writer on Seinfeld was even more out of the blue than it was for me. He's a hysterical loose canon and has crazy stories about dealing with Larry and the other higher ups. We talk about what it was like to get a story approved, and what we did with our time till we could get a hold of Jerry or Larry to pitch it and other behind the scenes stuff. Sam wrote and directed the cult favorite film, The Search for One-Eyed Jimmy, and created the hit series Starving for Crackle. Sitting in is my buddy Charles Zucker, and Amber Tozer is the voice of reason.

Ressentiment (French pronunciation: [rəsɑ̃timɑ̃]) Nietzsche used this term as the underlying principle to the Geneology of Morals. When one group considers themselves victims of another and justifies their weakness or inactivity because of ressentiment. Amber Tozer and I discuss this idea in it's applications to every day life.

Comedian Amber Tozer is so much more than a comedian. Sure, she's performed stand-up all over the world, been featured on Last Comic Standing and stars in the hit web series nitTWITS but she's also written on the Emmy-award winning show Mad and taken time off from comedy to work with autistic children. Want more? She had an advice columns on Laughspin, has written for HuffPo, has appeared on The Mental Illness Happy Hour and much more. Here, she and AfterParty's Anna David talk about how her moment of clarity involved driving on the Bay Bridge drunk and waking up the next morning fully accepting that she was an alcoholic and needed to do something about it. We also delve into what it was like to grow up with alcoholism (her father and grandgather on her mom's side), drinking before Last Comic Standing and what she's learned in her roughly six years of sobriety, among other topics.
Peter McGraw (author of Humor Code) somehow tricked Amber Tozer into a date to be on the show. We didn't hear wedding bells but we heard a ton of laughs and a lot of great insight into comedy. These two were great and so is Peter's book Humor Code. @PeterMcGraw of @HumorCode and @AmberTozer
