Ralphie May; a journey. In this episode I look back at my friendship with my comedy mentor, brother, boss and friend Ralphie May. You will hear old episodes of my various podcasts featuring me (Danny Lobell), David Kasten, Chris Iacono, Myka Fox, Andrew Schulz, Joe Materese, Justy Dodge, Lahna Turner, Dan Naturman, and of course the late and very great Ralphie May. I also make some calls to Skyler Stone, The Smash Brothers (Corey and Chad), Steve Lee, Billy Wayne Davis and my cousin Marc.  May Mr. May be with us all in some way always. Long live the memory of the great Ralphie May.

This week we review The Weed Show which is hosted by the zany Chris Iacono. And by zany I mean retarded. It's apparently a show that is made for stoners but we've never met a stoner who was interested in talking about lizard people. If you're the kind of person who likes their comedy podcasts to have zero jokes and a dash of anti-semitism than you're going to love The Weed Show.

Sharon Houston, Nelson Lugo and Chris Iacono share spooky tales in our annual 'ween-tide collection.

Today on the show Danny Lobell is joined by former guests Janine Brito and Peyton Clarkson as special co- hosts. Chris Iacono had his testicle sized tonstacles removed, so he couldn't be present for the show. Illustrator Avery Monsen and Comedian Ian Edwards drop by for a thought provoking show. Danny let's the audience know they are welcome in his house unless they are english,indian, ethiopian, german, brazilian, or any other ethnicity Danny has ever encountered. Avery talks about the verbally abusive woman who actually helped his work out. We put Peyton Clarkson's southern liberalism to the test as he is surrounded by people of different races, religions, and sexual orientations. All this and such questions such as: why can't funeral's be fun?, what happened to the good chicken? , and most importantly who really wrote "Nacho Libre"? Tune into find out . Same "Comical Radio" time and hopefully the same location.

On this episode of Comical Radio Classic Danny Lobell and Chris Iacono are joined by a plethora of guests.  The first guest to grace the crew with their presence is Alonzo Bodden.  The crew talks about the Peep World downstairs.  Alonzo discusses what’s happening to America, covering everything from politics to banks.  Danny expresses his hate for Chase bank and the tomfoolery they have put him through.  The second guest of the day is Damien Lemon.  Danny thinks that America as a whole should have invented their own language when we separated ourselves from Britain instead of mispronouncing words on purpose as an act of rebellion.  Damien enjoys taking a step back from technology and the internet every once in awhile to gain perspective and reevaluate his life.  Danny gives Chris encouragement about all of the success he’s had in his career thus far.  Ken Marino calls in and he and the guys talk about how great it would be to play a video game that is their life.  Thomas Dale, a good friend of both Danny and Chris, joins them as the fourth guest of the day.  Thomas believes strongly in astrology  and enlightens the crew with some of his knowledge, however everything reverts back to him being gay.  Thomas and Chris feel a special kinship towards each other because they’re both Italian.  Last but not least, Janine Brito joins the crew.  She has officially popped her New York cherry but she hasn’t found an apartment yet.  Janine explains being a lesbian and growing up in a very religious home.  This leads the conversation towards stress tests and scientology.  Chris and Danny are searching for a new tag line to end the show with, stay tuned to see what they will come up with!

During this episode of Comical Radio Classic, Danny Lobell and Chris Iacono are joined by Calise Hawkins on the third mic. Danny and Calise have been friends for years and he used to have the hots for her; they clear up their awkward tension right from the start. The first guest is Jeff Caldwell. They talk about everything from Port Authority to the good ol’ days. Jeff recommends that Chris opens his heart and writes from there. The second guest was Julie Goldman. Even though she called in, the crew google imaged her and let her know how attractive they thought she was. Chris truly believes there are just way too many nail salons. Bobby Slayton joined the show as the third guest. He wastes no time telling Danny not to speak and he goes on a rant about his dislike of hasidic jews. Chris and Danny surprise Bobby Slayton as he’s on air with his neighbor Christopher Titus. Christopher Titus tells a story about how he met Bruce Springsteen. The last guest of the day was Louie Katz. The crew played a game with Louie where they took the bad notes from the interns and asked Louie bizarre questions.

On this episode of Comical Radio Classic, Danny Lobell and Chris Iacono are joined by Genevieve Joy on the third mic. The show starts off explaining the history of Chris and Gen’s complicated relationship. The first guest of the show is Avery Monsen who has written a few books including “All My Friends Are Dead” and “I Feel Relatively Neutral About NY.” If any listener was wondering, Avery cannot physically defend himself and does not wish to participate in a fight just to prove this. Danny shares a story of how when he was a teenager he was beat up by 30 eight year olds. The second guest was Mike Lawrence. Mike is a friend of Danny’s and Danny goes far enough to compare him to being the next Carlin. In high school he wasn’t allowed to attend prom, yet instead of going to his high school reunion next month he posted on a Facebook forum to let his classmates be aware of his success. Harrison Greenbaum was the third guest of the day. Harrison has been on an episode of TMI before, however the entirety of his visit was dedicated to Naturman proclaiming that Harrison must be gay--today there was none of that. Being a Harvard alum and a comedian aren’t the only things on his resume; he also doubles as a magician and magic camp counselor. Chris has been skeptical of magicians and magic tricks since the wee age of eleven. Oh and don’t forget, we have merchandise now...BUY OUR STICKERS!

This is a very special episode of Comical Radio. Danny Lobell and Chris Iacono are joined by Dave Kasten. The ridiculously high temperatures of New York have not put a damper on the crews moods however. The three start off by discussing a fight Kasten and Chris had a ways back. Kasten talks about how he is moving to Israel for six months and hopes that his job is not being a beekeeper. SURPRISE! Myka Fox walks into the studio and joins the crew. The first guest of the day is Mitch Fatel. His fiancé, Jessica, joins him on the mic. They have a radio show called “Sex and Swinging” on Howard Stern where they talk about erotic topics. Jessica is a swinger and Mitch is contemplating the idea; the couple is into threesomes and explains how it works for their relationship. The second guest of the day is Zak Orth. He talks about how he began working at TGI Friday’s right in Manhattan to his success today. Chris and Danny both share stories of earlier in their lives when they worked in the food industry and the different food they stole and ate while on the job. Then when the original crew is all together, they focus in on Myka’s life in Texas and what she’s been up to from working on a reality TV show to hooking up with a guy from her apartment complex. Danny drops a bomb on Myka when he tells her that Chris is seeing an old flame again. Danny gets all emotional about the fact that Myka is no longer on the show and wishes Dave the best in Israel.

On today’s first Wednesday show a Rap Battle bit was performed. Danny Lobell and Chris Iacono were joined by judges Gawy, Chester the life coach and Cece the black tranny. DJ Rabi was helping the crew out with some beats. Comical Radio searched high and low to find some of NYC’s finest rapping street talent. First up was C-Bash who was performing for his second time. Second, Robyn briefly performed where she had an ‘oopsie’ and had to restart. One of the judges was quite infatuated with her. Third up was Kon. Kon blew the judges away with his rap skills. And lastly was Marvelous. Danny found him on the street and he continually told us about how much he enjoys marijuana. There was a special performance by Sewer John aka the intern Andy. Right before the freestyle round Robyn and Marvelous both left. Then it all came down to just Kon and C-Bash. There were three rounds of freestyle battling; it was close but in the end Kon prevailed becoming the overall winner. The show finished up by discussing political figures the black tranny would and wouldn’t sleep with.

This episode starts off with Danny Lobell and Chris Iacono being joined by Esther Ku as their co-host for the day. Danny wastes no time in announcing Chris’ love life to the listeners. Danny and Esther explain what good friends they are and how Esther chooses not to be laid often. The 1st guest of the day is Mike Sacks. They discussed numerous things he’s written over the years. The 2nd guest is Anthony Devito who tells his tale of how he went from a job in advertising to comedy. The 3rd guest of the show is Liam McEneaney. He speaks about his film, Tell Your Friends, and how he got the funding for it. Lastly, the crew was joined by Richard Pryor Jr or RPJ. He told us about the ups and downs of his life and spoke about his father, the late Richard Pryor. RPJ sang a beautiful little ballad for us towards the end of the show. Esther used to be a pens sales rep and pretends to sell a pen to a few of the guests in different scenarios

On today’s show Danny Lobell and Chris Iacono were joined by Jessimae Peluso. The three of them jumped right into talking about Jessimae’s love for tranny porn. Then their dear old friend Brian McGuiness joined the show where he shared an old memory where he and Danny went shopping at Footlocker and Danny’s credit card was declined. This spiraled the conversation into how Danny tries to barter everywhere he goes and Chris complains about the prices of everything. Chris spoke about the pizzeria his family used to own and how he can tell the ingredients and how old a piece of pizza is. The show’s producer, Tony Miller, jumped on a 4th mic and Danny explained how Tony became part of the crew many years ago. Legendary Bill Bailey then was in the studio speaking of his career of a lifetime from performing at small clubs to arenas. Tony Woods then joined the show to discuss his speech impediment and how he was almost attacked by a “flamingo” in Australia. Lastly two members from Murderfist, Henry Zebrowski and Ed Larson, joined the crew to explain a few of their hilarious sketches as well as explain how Murderfist came to be.

Danny expounds on his anti-Americanism, bores his girlfriend to death with pro-Native American ramblings on a road trip, Chris doesn't believe in the existence of Jesus Christ because historical records of the Christian savior always come from one part of the world only. Danny also believed that Muslims kill people in a holier way than Christians. Danny and Chris debate on what actually makes you gay. The boys mark the presence of misconceptions concerning Jews with regards to their sexual habits and potential in movies.

With Danny still bullfighting in spain, Chris Iacono and Kevin Bartini sit down for another great episode of Comical Radio. Loni Love calls into the studio to discuss how extreme disney extreme has become. John Roberts from Bob's burgers pops in for some chit chat and the crew wrapped up with comic Gordon Baker Bone

With Danny Lobell away in Spain running with the bulls, Chris Iacono is joined in the studio by Ray Ellin, Comical Radio favorite and ladies man extrodinare. After the quick back and forth they learned the true way to happniess could only occur when a hot chick teaches you yoga. Musical Duo, Uncle Dick stopped by the show and attempted to seranade one of the interns.

The show opens with Calise Hawkins exhibiting her refined taste in men: thugs with minds.. or something. Girls are complicated. Chris Iacono reminisces about college, specifically 'hippie-flipping' and other fun times with certian unmentionables.  Ah, the simpler times. They also bond over astral-projecting experiences. If you don't know what that is, you are not among the chosen. Abbi Crutchfield talks about performing at Showtime at the Apollo, and she and Calise realize they could develop a doppelganger comedy scheme, booking for each other and splitting the cut (they look alike. Google it!) Japan might sink and destroy California, which naturally leads to a discussion of the nuances of Asian robot porn. Calise reveals she would design her ideal robot mate to have a tripod penis for variety control. And no balls. Chris just doesn't want his robot to be able to develop an opinion/personality. Eric Bergrstrom is exhausted after trying to go home last night from Comic Strip Live, but was delayed by a man throwing himself in front of the subway train. Chris requests that you please exercise courtesy and commit all suicides away from public transportation. They discuss how cell phones are destroying socializing, and also most likely our brains. But Chris is optimistic: the radiation will probably just turn us all into superheroes. And finally, no discussion of serious issues in today's society is complete without a reference to the Twilight series.

Danny Lobell and Chris Iacono are back in the studio with former housewife turned comedian Robin Fox. Discussing her life as wife, mother and coming into the world of comedy late in life and being successful. Comedy writer Andy Ross introduces the crew to Wisconsin's cheesedays. Being huge fans of cheese the crew has committed to devoting an entire episode to their favorite dairy product. Chris discusses his new found infamy and Danny is finally starting to gain the upper hand with a more successful career than his horse counterpart. Stay tuned listeners, there may be a cheesecast in our future.

Well we’re moving on up, the itunes charts, we finally got a piece of the pie! Chris Iacono and Warren Holstein are celebrating Comical Radio’s rise to #47 on the itunes podcast chart with another stoner session. Chris Iacono and Warren Holstein discuss the ongoing tragedy in Japan, Apple suing Amazon over their new app store, weird Japanese porn and of course Charlie Sheen and whether or not he's really the one writing those tweets.  Chris tells Warren of a recent dream where Chris wins a $51 billion dollar scratch off which just leads to incoherent stoner talk combining quantum physics, telekinesis, monozygotic twins, dream transference, and the never ending Israeli Palestinian conflict. Sounds confusing?...well it did to us too. Maybe this is best decided over a game of Chess Boxing! You heard it right, Brain meets Pain where two competitors go head to head between rounds of boxing and playing chess.

Danny headed back to Scotland so Chris Iacono and Warren Holstein take over Comical Radio Classic live from grandma's basement. More bad stuff happening in the world today, Japan has hit with an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 (insert Godzilla joke here). No, too soon? I'll leave it to the comedians. On today's show, Jesse Powell Stroud, talks about his up and coming realistic comic book, where the characters actually get hurt and maybe die. Warren expresses his hatred for Superman and Chris had an imaginary friend. The dreamy, Ben Gleib, calls in to discuss Libya, conspiracy theories and touring with Dane Cook and Julie Klausner discusses her sexual attraction for Frankenstein and vampires.

The most watched show on television "Two and a Half Men" has just been cancelled and Chris Iacono and Warren Holstein are here to chime in on the coked out, stripper loving disaster that is Charlie Sheen. Sheen's granted at least nine television and radio interviews since the cancellation of the show with each one being more crazed than the last and Chris and Warren take the time to analyze his “Bi-Winning” rant.   Warren like clockwork calls out Chris on his weird segue in-between topics. The protests in Libya continue and the U.S. has finally gotten involved in the form of sanctions. Beyonce´, 50 cent and Mariah Carey have all performed for Gadhafi and Chris poses the question to Warren "how much would it take for you to sellout?"   While Wisconsin may be trying to get rid of unions in the public sector Chris' mom has rallied the troops at work to form a union. In tech news the U.S. government has come up with a spy humming bird and there have been reported cases of sensory overloads from gadgets causing brains freezes.  

In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Zelda, Chris Iacono and Warren Holstien are joined by friend Jordan Ferber to disscuss the finner points of traditional video games. Those finner points included the music composition behind Zelda as well as masturbating to animated figures and Warrens abdonment issues. Last episode Warren explained why he denounces his mother, this week his daddy issues come out as Chris attempts to gang up on him with Jordan. Warren tells the sad but comical story of how his dad left him on his 8th birthday. All the while the stoners had only one goal in mind. Chinese food for munchies. Trying and failing not to get sidetracked there was mention of competing companies racing robots, monkeys riding pigs and Donald Trump running for president. I wonder who he'll fire. In other brief news Vancouver has been titled "The World's Most Liveable City." And lastly but most certainly not least...Mississippi, home of the flamable cross is asking for official KKK license plates...wish we could get into that further but the Chinese food is here!

What does it take to make it in New York? To make it in the city of bright lights while selling fair trade coffee and finding rent that doesn't cost you a kidney, is truly an art. Danny and the crew talked to owner of the PIT Ali Farahnakian (people's improv theater) about how he built and runs the venue, successfully.  You think you've heard of all the up and coming high brow work-out programs? Try this one on for size, having sex on a stair master. Kevin Bartini defends his pride and shape, although hard, being married to a personal trainer. Chris Iacono suggests Danny gives it a try, exercise in general, that is.  Danny, Chris, and Myka have been on David Kasten's case for weeks about quitting heroine, but today Ray Wagner proves you don't need to spiral down a drug path to be a genuine bum. Broke over $160 he plans out his work schedule in order to make ends meet. All this talk about one day making it big and Louis Ramey of Last Comic Standing has tasted stardom. What does it taste like you ask? Lovely little old ladies and gay men. 

The question arises that has pondered man’s mind since the beginning of time…Do dogs prefer to sniff ass or cocaine? Chris Iacono argues Warren Holstein that they would rather sniff cocaine. In the end it was Warren that won…by a big Jewish nose. That wasn’t the only thing they were shoving up their noses though. The newest homemade drug found in your everyday bathroom, and it’s not Nyquil. It’s bath-salts and they’re stronger than meth. I wonder if that’s what they’re rioting about in Egypt.     

Yo, Hammer! Jim Breuer called in with some depressing news about fame: once you get on Saturday Night Live, it only gets worse. You start off feeling like you've made it in show business, you star in a cult classic with Dave Chappelle, then the improvisers don't want to talk to you and you end up at home podcasting from your basement while your dad dies a slow death upstairs and your mom patiently waits four days for a haircut. Over 1 Million copies sold! Comical Radio dared Jesse Joyce to go platinum with his new album "Pro Joyce." Check out the streets of Times Square for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see Jesse harassing tourists to "Check it out check it out! Buy my CD!"  Joyce recalls Comical Radio's interview with Greg Giraldo, and cites it as evidence that Kasten does not understand addiction at all, and that Kasten is probably already an addict. Chris Iacono threatens to go seventh grade on him and tell his parents.  France's most famous comedian Samy Ameziane came into the studio and brought French TV with him. They were there to capture every relived moment of Danny hitting on and then dismissing a French prostitute due to lack of sufficient funds. We walk away from that story with one universal truth: To get women, you either have to be rich, famous, or Michael Moore's son. Kieran  McCann from Lunatic Radio came in and revealed that his co-host once developed a crush on Myka, having never met her, based on one picture. Shallow dreams do come true. Sadly, said co-host now has a live-in girlfriend and Myka is told she needs to further lower her standards. Kasten, for example, will take a hand job from a puppet. "Disgusting!" cries Chris Iacono. Not because Kasten was jerked off by a puppet, but because the puppeteer was a bad ventriloquist.

ALONZO BODDEN returns two years after Danny Lobell made a mess of hosting Bodden's weekend at Governor's Comedy Club. No hard feelings, even though now Bodden cannot afford to buy a $250,000 Lamborghini.  Keep an eye out for Bodden's 2011 Showtime special where he will break down the news from six months ago.VICTOR CRUZ, the man of many characters and more excuses not to do standup comedy, came and got stuffed down Pedophile Santa's sack, berated Chris Iacono's corporate gig, and made Myka Fox cry at Bill Cosby's restaurant on her first date post-relationship.

Comedy Legend (or "Main Man" to make him feel less old), Dom Irrera floated into the studio on a cloud of xanax, popped some fresh scrips with Chris Iacono and Myka Fox, and waxed philosophical about his love for The Beatles, his hatred of Michael Jordan, and the extreme insecurity of fellow comedian Bobby "the pitbull" Slayton. As soon as Irrera explained what a great friend Charles Barkley is, David Kasten announced he was a jerk. And the winner for best weed goes to.... CHEM DOG! High Times co-founder Rick Cusick spent the last fourteen months sobering up to share tales about his ultimate pot-jam bus ride with Willie Nelson.  Cusick also sends this message: "Hey potheads, Obama's our friend, join NORML, and daddy doesn't smoke weed anymore, honey." Kenny Kramer lit up the room LED style and gave everyone the reality tour behind the real Kramer from Seinfeld. When he's not selling merch for Curb, hes maxing oceanside in Los Cabos. Fascinating dude and less racist than Michael Richards, its a good thing Danny Lobell found his number after losing it in a hoarder's pile for ten years.

Get out the nuts and bolts because we have another installment of Fixing Joe, with Joe Matarese and Chris Iacono sitting in for Danny Lobell. The burning issue this week; Should Joe continue with therapy? Moreover, is the Fixing Joe show providing more therapeutic benefit than his actual therapy? After taking the invaluable advice of funnyman and heckler-hunter, Bill Burr, Joe has learned to love performing again. He's gained confidence and, most importantly, hasn't been so darn angry. Has this radio gig rendered a psychiatric professional obsolete? Or are his sessions truly worth the horrendous commute? The guests weighing in on the subject are MadTV mistress Arden Myrin and comedian and surviving Jim Norton cohabitant, Jim Florentine. Lie back on your favorite couch (preferably not in your therapists office) and listen to find out Joe's decision!

Chris Iacono storms the airwaves with his very own show on Comical Radio. With guests Warren Holstein and Patrick from Cringe Humor.

Today Danny Lobell's wet dreams came true. Sean Lennon graced us with his presence in the studio, and even admitted that we have some nice chairs. Granted, we stole very special chairs for this occasion, but what great success! Dan Naturman stepped in for Chris Iacono today because Chris is out on a very important drugscapade in the midwest. Dan was an appropriate replacement because he and Chris have a lot in common. They both wear brown, they both act Jewish, they are both male as far as the eye can see, and they both didn't get any action until their mid-twenties. As soon as Chris left, Fabulous Genius Myka deemed it time to return to us. Welcome back! Kevin Bartini breached a very controversial subject by saying he loves his wife so much that he wants her to cheat on him. Kevin is definitely an ugly son of a bitch, but he has a heart of gold. Intern Allison then tediously explained why girls love gay guys, a longtime source of confusion for straight men everywhere. A very brief but sincere friendship blossomed today between Lennon and Lobell. Lennon opened up about falling in love with a pencil in the 7th grade, and even beatboxed while Danny gave renditions of Lennon classics.A few Lennon facts: - He once wrote a song in French in a dream - He is upset over the recall of Pluto's planet status - He recommends taking a long walk in the park - He loves his mom - He can levitate And, as usual, at least three people at Comical Radio were wearing the exact same hat. A very successful day indeed, although we forgot to ask Sean Lennon for $50,000 so Danny could get off food stamps. Hey Sean, is it too late?

Danny Lobell's backyard chicken, who never used to make a peep, now screams at all hours because Chris Iacono couldn't keep his drunken hands off her. The underlying logic: better to betray fowl than lose your cred at the Coney Island Nathan's Hot Dogs. Pablo Francisco came in from a world tour fueled by you tube exposure, Danny bestows his highest (paraphrased) compliment: "I don't really care for Robin Williams' stand up, but you are the best person to watch live because you are the closest a person can get to watching Robin Williams." Mad TV's Anjelah Johnson also came into the studio creating a double header of Latin Sound Machines. She narrowly escaped Danny's advances and nearly convinced Pablo that they had met before.

If all comedians are spazzy degenerates, nerdy cripples, autistic wonderkinds, and homeless, and Chris Iacono is a comedian, why is it that Chris feels he has the right is impose a conduct code on comedy club waitresses? Because one of them didn't want to sleep with him. She did, however, want to lead him on while she simultaneously and secretively lead on Chris's friend who is paralleled in comedian loserdom (Jamie "Mad Dog" Mattern). Sorry, Jesus Freak Comedy Club Waitress (god bless), but if you want to dry-hump identical low-lifes, you are going to have to do it out in the open. I said good day, sir! Hey, Dylan Gadino from Punchline Magazine (.com), what's the update? Kat Williams was arrested (again) for burglarizing the home that was serving as the set of the movie he was filming. He was caught with his hands full of $3,000 worth of gold coins. So sad... I know he loves money but I would think Scrooge McDuck would be above renting his house to film studios for side cash. George Carlin! George Carlin is posthumously coming out with a new book, "Last Words." Daughter Kelly Carlin surprised Danny and the crew by calling in with details about the book and life with her dad. As the daughter of a comedy icon, Kelly was allowed to use the seven dirty words around the house, but surprisingly was not introduced to many great comedians because George was an introvert and didn't really hang out. Shit Piss Fuck Cunt Cocksucker Motherfucker Tits.
