Starting in 2004, Danny interviewed some of the top comic minds of our time including George Carlin, Paul Giamatti and Chris Rock. When the show ended in 2012, he started a new show called "Modern Day Philosophers", where he learns about the Western canon of philosophy with his comedy guests.Check out the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter!
Danny Lobell, Comical Radio, Heart Attack Grill, Chris Brown Grammys 2012
Today, Chris and Warren are joined by Angel Castillo. They discuss flesh lights and the fact that Angel used to be a professional wrestler. Chris calls Alex the “brilliantly awkward 24 year old virgin”. Alex blames his lack of sex life on 18 years of Catholic guilt. Warren tells the tale of his first hand job. Amy Winehouse’s toxicology revealed that there were no illegal drugs in her system at the time of her death. Angel thinks there were so many illegal drugs in her system that they somehow cancelled each other out. Exciting news! Turns out that some forms of ecstasy may help cure some types of cancer. Tune in to hear what other topics the gang discusses on this episode of Live from Grandma’s Basement!
Chris, Danny and James Goff are doing a show at a college in Oklahoma. Join them as they describe their experience on the road in this special edition of Comical Radio!
Today’s TMI started off with an appearance by political humorist author Brian Sack who is releasing his new book "The B.S of A: A Primer in Politics for the Incredibly disenchanted." We learned Americans should be provided more choices of political parties, kind of like cheeseburgers. Imagine a world where there are only two burgers. We want our McDemopublicans With Sleeze for all, please. Actor Gregory Korostishevsky came on the show and dropped Soviet-isms on us such as “In math there is no much to talk” and “There is no work for squeegee in New York.” He talked about teaching math in Newark, NJ where he is not allowed to hit his students. Dan Naturman then told Gregory, who fled the Soviet Union in 1990, that Newark “must be rough.” Finally an appearance was made by comedian Ralphie May and his wife Lahna Turner. Lahna sang genre-bending comedy-erotica folk tunes for us while Ralphie gave a legendary, inspiring motivational speech to Naturman, imploring him to live up to his potential and take over the French and Israeli comedy scenes.
Danny and Chris are joined by Sam Reich, President of Video Content at CollegeHumor.com. As part of a new segment called Milk the Guests, Danny asks Sam if Danny and Chris can come to CollegeHumor and use their massage chairs. Danny introduces another new segment called Worst Guest Notes, in which he reads the most irrelevant, useless facts the interns have included in the guest notes. Comedian Jay Nog arrives and discusses the show he works on, Paid or Pain, in which bad comedians are punished for not being funny. Chris thanks him for what he’s doing for the comedy community. Also joining the crew is the lovely Mistress Diana who resembles Velma from Scooby Doo. She plays an important role in the game they play, in which new interns Grant, Katharine and Jesse answer a series of questions. Whoever is the least funny in answering their questions gets a beating from Mistress Diana. Don't worry, the interns are receiving college credit for this. Because they feel bad about physically abusing their interns, Danny and Chris take some voluntary beatings.
Chris is left high and dry without Warren, but Joe Salinksy, Brian the Gay Intern and Steve Loftus join him for this episode of Live from Grandma’s Basement. Listen up, fellas! Brian is single and ready to mingle. Corey Feldman came forward this week to say that pedophilia is Hollywood’s biggest problem. Chris could’ve sworn it was cocaine. The guys try to guess which Hollywood mogul is the pedophile who molested Feldman when he was a kid. The woman whose face was ripped off by a chimp got a face transplant. Chris thinks they should have just left her faceless because now she looks like what the Grimace would be if McDonald’s cast a movie. The guys wonder, if you’re homeless, why choose to be homeless in New York City when you can walk to New Jersey and become a man of the land? Chris urges the homeless to leave the city and go be mountain men. Tune in to see what other topics are discussed on this episode of Live from Grandma’s Basement!
Today Danny and Chris are joined by Esther Ku and Joe Narvaez. They discuss all kinds of racial stereotypes from Italians to Asians. Returning to the show after a long hiatus is Jermaine Fowler. He discusses his previous job at Dylan’s Candy Bar where he worked as a fudge cutter. He’s not very fond of candy and says the place is full of rats. Chris wonders why homeless people don’t eat rats, then has the brilliant idea to sell cooked rats to the homeless. He’ll call his business the Organic Ratisserie. Ray Devito joins the gang for the remainder of the show. After Danny wonders aloud how many people in the comedy scene hate him, Ray tells the story of why Jack Russel (lead singer of the band Great White) hates him. Chris and Danny tell their most harrowing relationship stories. Tune in to hear about the girls who broke their hearts and more on this episode of The Monday Show!
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!
In this episode of Too Much Information, Danny Lobell and Dan Naturman are without the third leg to their tripod Justy Dodge. This show is filled with ‘Steves.’ Steve Ochs is the first guest. Steve has a one man show about having a mid-life crisis. The crew discusses death and how in the blink of an eye you go from being 16 to 40. However, he has kept himself spry with his wife who is ten years his junior. The second guest of the day was magician Steve Rodman. Steve says he’ll do different magic tricks trying to fool the pair. Naturman has met a magician before that has shown him their secrets, he was beyond perplexed by how difficult it is to reciprocate a trick. Steve does several tricks with cards, mentalism and scarves. Steve explains to Danny the reasons why it’s more practical to use a dove than a regular pigeon in tricks as well as the proper way to pull a rabbit out of a hat. The crew is elated to announce that Justy Dodge will be back from her old stomping grounds next week!
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.
Today’s first guest, Julian Hershowitz, jumps right in to promote his public game of tag in Central Park. He just graduated college, having majored in statistics. Chris says all statistics are made up. Trey Galyon enters wearing a T-shirt that says “I drank with Doug Stanhope”. Chris and Trey are both hardcore fans of Gonzo Journalism and Ralph Steadman. The guys discuss today’s stock market crash and predict the entire system will soon collapse altogether. It wasn’t that long ago that thousands of people were waiting in line for bread, Chris points out. Danny says that’s why he has his own federal reserves of food on his body. He also thinks the government wants to keep America fat. He’s okay with this because the fatter everyone else gets, the skinnier he looks in comparison. Chris thinks we need a new holocaust in America where we systematically kill everyone on Wall Street.
During this episode of Too Much Information, Danny Lobell and Dan Naturman are doing this show as a pair seeing as they’re missing a piece to their puzzle, Justy Dodge. Naturman invented a quiz game after Michael Jackson died, however it’s making its debut now since the death of Amy Winehouse. The game is simple: Naturman will begin with a list of celebrities who are the answers, then he will read quotes said by the given celebrities about the topic at hand, the contestants will then guess which celebrity said the quote. Dan Naturman acted as the game show host, Danny Lobell was contestant one and the intern Carla was contestant two. After ten different quotes, Carla the intern beat Danny by a long shot. After the game, Dan and Danny talk to Carla briefly about the internship overall seeing as it’s her last day. Today is Barack Obama’s 50th birthday.
Chris comes in today wearing a hat that looks exactly like the hat Danny always wears. He has been tirelessly searching for a new hat after learning that his ex girlfriend gave away his fedora. Not only is Danny unable to wear his hat while sitting next to Chris now, he’s been very depressed for the past week. He threatened to quit the show this past weekend and updated his Facebook with a series of whiney statuses. Intern Andy comes in bearing bad news: for the first time in Comical Radio history, two guests walked off the show before even going on the air. Esther enters in a lovely sun hat, bringing McDonald’s for the second time in a row. She insists on eating her fries during the show. She talks about the song parodies she has been working on. Chris thinks her videos are a sexual turn off and a comedic turn on. She has space issues and doesn’t like to be touched. She doesn’t even like shaking hands, especially with men, because they jerk off so frequently. She doesn’t hate penises, she explains, she hates what’s attached to them.
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!
Ankle Sprains and Relationship Strains Right off the bat Chris announces he may have cancer. Chris delves into his relationship woes, his ex-girlfriend’s wrath, and his desperate search for a pilfered vintage hat. Danny irritates Chris by making pesto sauce without basil. Chris admits that he subconsciously disdains everybody born wealthy. Danny sprains his ankle while out with friend Dan Goodman but all he can think about is his friend slighting him for change on a cab ride. Danny is incredulous that his new friend is as nice as he seems. Danny and Chris reveal a BIG guest who will be coming on the show sometime soon
In this episode of Too Much Information Danny Lobell, Dan Naturman and Justy Dodge begin talking about Danny’s current ankle injury. The conversation quickly skips to how Naturman enjoys eating his meals out as often as possible and that his studio apartment is a total mess. The first guest is Pat Carlin. He started doing stand up at the young age of 78 and spoke about some of the previous professions he’s had throughout his life. He was a car salesman for a long time and tried to teach Naturman the tricks of the trade so he could pick up a side gig. Pat is constantly optimistic and enthusiastic; Danny was hoping some of his attitude would rub off on Naturman which didn’t happen. The next guest of the show Joseph Zdanowski, a chiropractor as well as the inventor of the Evol process. Joseph enlightened the crew with different ways in which they can make themselves healthier. After giving these tips that will not only make you healthier but help you to lose weight he performed some of his chiropractor skills on Danny. Through these different maneuvers Joseph was able to figure out that Danny’s left side of his body is the more dominant one and helped toxins move their way to his colon. Danny is taking this as the first step in his battle to get healthy.
On the latest edition of Grandma’s basement, Chris, Warren, and guest co-host Jordon Ferber try to make the show more conspiracy-oriented. The three men agree that they are all somewhat watered down versions of their respective fathers, but Chris has a hard time believing Warren is any less annoying than his father. Chris and Warren accuse each other of not being well informed on recent debt-ceiling talks. The crew debates whether a video of a UFO sighting in San Paolo, Brazil was doctored. If aliens are out there, Chris hopes they’re all like Alf and eat cats. Warren delights in being able to crush Chris’s dreams of time traveling with a new Chinese study that says travelling faster than the speed of light is impossible. Warren wants the old Dominos advertising campaigns back. Jordon recalls a fateful encounter with a beehive at summer camp. Chris wants vaginas texted to his phone instead of the steady slew of dick photos he has received after his girlfriend played a cruel trick on him. All this and much more live from Grandma’s basement.
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.
Sunday, Monday, Happy Thursday ! In this episode of Too Much Information, Danny Lobell, Dan Naturman and Justy Dodge are joined by guests Adam Mansbach, Henry Winkler and Rider Strong.. The first guest is Mansbach, who is the author of “Go the F*** to Sleep.” The crew expected him to be a nerdy white professor yet they were surprised when he turned out to be a black guy stuck in a Jew’s body. Our favorite, “Jackie Mason,” stopped by to read from the book. The second guest is the legendary Henry Winkler. Even though most know the legend for his part in the sitcom “Happy Days,” he has written a book titled “I Never Met an Idiot on the River.” Danny knew Winkler was a big Obama fan and asked about his feelings on the Israeli policies. The crew was also intrigued to know who he can and cannot call up. They name drop and the conversation goes on. The third guest was Rider Strong, known for his character Shawn Hunter on the 90’s sitcom "Boy Meets World." Strong has donated money to help reintroduce wolves to Yellowstone in the past, which leads to a conversation on werewolves. Danny tells a story of how when he was a child he would have nightmares of werewolves chasing him and a friend. Whether or not Rider has hooked up with co-star Danielle Fishell, Topanga on "Boys Meets World," is a hot topic of conversation. And surprisingly, Dan Naturman is NOT in a horrid mood!
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.
With Warren out of town and Danny absent from the studio, Chris hosts today’s episode of Live From Grandma’s Basement with guest James Goff. James is a huge video game nerd. He’s obsessed with Call of Duty. The guys discuss the fact that Netflix has increased their membership prices. Chris cancelled his Netflix account a long time ago, now he just steals movies online like a normal person. He feels personally responsible for the downfall of Blockbuster because he was a manager at a Blockbuster when he was twenty and never charged people for late fees. James complains that Netflix thinks they know him. He rents one black movie, and they start suggesting exclusively black movies to him. James plugs his favorite porn site, Xandexcess.com. Chris is disappointed that Danny isn’t in the studio today because he likes to get his input on food-related news topics. For instance, studies have found that eating with a big fork can help you eat less. James thinks the best way to lose weight is to get dumped. Chris disagrees. Instead of losing weight, he sits around crying and eating ice cream. Alcohol was banned for three days in Ecuador because 21 people died after drinking some bootleg liquor. James doesn’t do drugs or drink. On one occasion, he drank half a forty-ounce of malt liquor and swore he would never drink again. A couple from South Carolina thinks they saw an image of Jesus in their Wal Mart receipt. Chris thinks this is a brilliant marketing ploy. He then says there is a company selling real estate on the moon and making millions of dollars. Also, he doesn’t believe we actually killed Bin Laden. Either he’s been dead for years or we didn’t kill him.
On today’s show, Danny Lobell and Chris “big love” Iacono were joined by Gina “Jesus Freak” Brillon on the third mic. The three begin by talking about an upcoming bit that involves a black tranny. Danny and Chris were expecting an ugly tranny to respond to the ad and the one they got is actually rather good looking. Danny resents boobs whereas Chris is a boobs guy. Gina shares a few anecdotes of her trials and tribulations dealing with older people. Danny recalls a childhood memory of not being picked for a flag football team. The first guest of the episode was John Gemberling of the UCB’s Death by Roo Roo Improv Team. Danny has seen him perform before and truly thinks John will go places. Because of this prediction, John says when he makes it big he will give Danny $100. The second guest is Ryan Conner. He recently went on tour in China and shared a few stories with the crew about the scams he fell for while there. Danny relates his pizza addiction to a heroin addiction. Reese Waters joined the group for the end of the show. Reese has been on “Letterman” recently and this sparks a conversation about how the comics feel as though they’re judged by their peers during a set. At the end of the show, Reese proclaims his distaste for Baltimore and Kylie jumps on the mic to defend it, her old stomping grounds.
Danny Lobell, Dan Naturman and Justy Dodge gather for another episode of TMI. Naturman is a dark cloud of gloom as per usual and he hates on Justy for being a ray of sunshine. Naturman gives advice to a new comic, Harry Terjanian, on knowledge that he has gained in show biz over the years. Justy leaves the show for a brief moment, yet when she returns Naturman is already enriching Harry’s mind. The crew has Harry do a small bit which leads into Danny pretending to be a big-wig comic and Naturman pretending to be Harry. In this short exchange, they explain to Harry how he should befriend more famous comics. Some of the advice Naturman gives is make more famous friends, be yourself, be more blue collar, be less nice, be more aggressive and don’t go below 14th street. Danny does his Jay Leno and Lisa Lampanelli impressions. At the end of the show, Justy talks briefly about the bad audition she had at the Comic Strip.
Danny replaces Warren in this episode of LFGB. He and Chris are joined by Kevin Bartini. Danny hopes the show goes more smoothly than he co-hosted with Warren a couple of weeks ago. Chris brings up a UK study that reveals babies should be exercising to prevent obesity later in life. This reminds Danny of the fact that he never crawled as a baby. Worried that he was developmentally challenged, his parents took him to several doctors. He was diagnosed as being fat and lazy. He is so lazy he takes the subway elevators instead of the stairs. Like most people, Kevin refuses to use subway elevators because they smell like piss. The gang discusses an Arizona senator who is under scrutiny for having pointed a (pink) gun at a reporter during an interview. She defends herself saying she didn’t have her finger on the trigger. Chris wants a gun with the Comical Radio logo on it. House GOP leaders are ginning up excitement for Tuesday's vote to roll back lightbulb efficiency standards, calling it the "Save the Lightbulb" bill. Danny brags about his knowledge of light bulbs from his days as a light bulb salesman. He then criticizes Comedy Central for roasting easy targets such as Charlie Sheen, Donald Trump and Flavor Flav. He’d rather see Paul McCartney roasted. Or maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger as long as there were no impressions allowed. Kevin wonders, who give still cares about Charlie Sheen? Think outside the box, Comedy Central.
n this episode of Comical Radio, Danny, Chris and Amber Nelson discuss Chris’s ex-girlfriend and Danny being Chris’s wingman when picking up 20-year-old girls at bars. Amber talks about doing comedy at nursing homes with her mom. Danny says he got fired from working at a nursing home because his boss was a bastard. Leslie Collins joins the show and talks about playing the autoharp, and explains what an autoharp is. Leslie talks about how she worked at Tokyo Disney and teaches Danny some Japanese phrases. Chris says he watches a lot of Asian porn. Rick Meyerowitz, known for having done the cover of the Animal House, joins the show. He says he based the artwork for the cover of Animal House on what his own experience in a fraternity was like. John Belushi once fell asleep with his head on Rick’s shoulder.Danny says he is getting post-nasal drip from smoking pot and he has to stop. Rick says this is probably for the best since one joint is probably worse for you than an entire pack of cigarettes. Jamie Lee joins the gang, talk about Jamie’s show Un-dateable, Danny asks why Chris is un- dateable. She says Chris is dateable, as is everyone, but he might not be marry-able. Danny says he went to his first ball pit in France about a month ago and Jamie talks about a series she works on called Kid Farm. Chris and Danny go over some interesting comments on the forum.
With Chris Iacono still off in the hills of upstate New York, Danny Lobell hosts the show with Justy Dodge and James F. Harris. Justy and James are in a happy and committed relationship; they tell Danny of their plans to marry one day. Danny is slightly skeptical. With love in the air, relationships become the topic of conversation. Danny admits to crying to his girlfriend Kylie about being a bad older brother. Justy is defiantly against males crying. Danny shares a story of him and his girlfriend getting into a fight after she yelled at him. The conversation then turns into a strange card trick performing Transylvanian that Danny hungout with on the streets of NYC late one night. Danny met Alec Baldwin and realized they have something in common--they’re both frinds with Gawy.

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
Mark and Ben discuss the capture of Osama Bin Laden and the President coming to NYC. They are joined by their London corespondent Edmond to discuss the Royal Wedding. Jeff Ryan stops by to talk movies with the guys and some politics. For the final hour Travis Squier calls in to discuss going to college with Mark and Ben.
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.
Who is Dusty (Justy) dating? And why does Warren care so badly? Maybe cause she carries around three phones as technology trophies from her past conquests and the “new guy.” To make money or to wait for stardom, that is the question. Tom Shillue prefers the alt scene where he is more likely to get noticed rather than get paid in recognizable comedy clubs. Moving TVs won’t cut it as a career but it is some nice pocket cash. Creator of odd jobs and animated the first character on “Sesame Street” Jeremy Redleaf is single handedly putting muppets out of business. Back from the other side of the world Alan Paul and his band Woddie Alan are widely recognized in China; and we must know, how much better is their Chinese food?
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.
This week, Warren, Justy, and Chris discuss some sensitive topics. Most notably, they discuss the legalization of prostitution, for which Chris is a suspiciously enthusiastic advocate. But Warren brings up a valid issue: is it possible to regulate AIDS-infested hookers? Other questions the debate evokes: would legalized prostitution lower the rape rate, or does Chris just not understand the raping mind as well as Warren does? How is Warren so in touch with rapist psychology? Don't hang out in any dark alleys if you don't want to find out. The gang talks to Kevin Allison, host of the popular podcast RISK! You may also have seen his ads on Match.com: “Creepy 40 yr old lemonade-fasting male seeking young asian males.” But according to Chris, it's still “better to be single and fat than single and hallucinating.” We're still not sure about that. Pamela Murphy mentions her excitement about going to UCB in LA, which Chris manages to dampen with a caveat about Japanese radiation wafting over to the west coast. Did we mention Pamela is a cancer survivor? Derek Calibre followed the typical path to psychic-dom: having a midlife crisis while running an ice cream store. He tries to determine Justy's relationship future, and predicts she will meet someone from a colder state, around December. The hints of cold and deadness in his vision present a promising romance. Warren remains skeptical as to whether Derek is a real psychic, or just a PC-owner.
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.
Danny and Chris are joined in the Badger studios by Justy Dodge from TMI and Ray Devito. Chris questions Ray's commitment to drinking and disavows AA as a last resort. Justy chimes in with her extensive knowledge of NA and Meth abuse. Danny's takes this as an opportunity to question Chris' motives and his appearance of HBO's True Blood. The Show wraps up with a call in from Myka about her recent moving experience with Mr. Ray Devito.
Danny is joined by his favorite Canadian comedian Graham Kay. Danny had met Graham last year at the Glasgow comedy festival where Graham blew away the crowd with his amazing Canadian comedy. Garaham has been on Comical Radio multiple times but this is a show you don't want to miss.
Danny is back for a few day's from touring and him and Chris discuss Comedy in the UK, beg for funding from the listeners and discuss the finer points of aliens amoung us.
Food stamps! Get your food stamps! Uncle Sam supports Myka's dream, so should you! Free food for everyone until they abolish the slavery that is being alive. Al Jackson came into the studio concerned over Oprah's fate. How will the country handle such an epic loss? By smoking weed in a movie theater? By downing a bottle of champagne? No, champagne downage is for celebratory events like getting your own Comedy Central half hour special Which he has, it premieres tonight, 11pm est on Comedy Central. Watch it, the crowd is roaring. Odd Todd Rosenburg came in with an impressive list of goals: Beat a few more levels in plants and zombies, think about exercising, try not to get pressured by nearby hoverers at the airport California Pizza Kitchen. Oh, hes also collaborating on a film with that guy who made Donnie Darko, working on a TV show, and revolutionizing the educational system. Father/daughter improv duo "Grandma Hates Technology" are 50 yr old Mike Weiss and his 14 yr old daughter Jessica came in and explained how their group formed: Mike had a mid-life crisis after not being able to pursue comedy after having a daughter. Then he used his daughter to kick start a comedy career. Chris and Myka convinced them to do some improv live on the air that featured, if you can believe it, a grandma that hates technology. Two ninths of the award winning sketch group "Harvard Sailing Team" came in and set the record straight about the Golden Girls. They were the best. Also the best, winning a Nightlife Award and performing at Town Hall. Also the best, cats on Prozac.
It’s a bittersweet episode of Danny Lobell and the Crew as Danny prepares to leave for his UK tour. Chris gives his opinions on the guests coming to fill in for Danny while he’s away. (Let’s hope they don’t listen to this episode!) The guys also talk about the super bowl and sports in general. At least Danny does. Chris has no clue whatsoever. Then, Chris talks about the Iacono “cabin” upstate. And if you thought the show couldn’t get any meatier, Danny recites his favorite rat story. With all this talk about rats, cabins and football, it’s an all American episode of Danny Lobell and the Crew.
Danny, Chris and Myka trade war stories about their times in the food stamp offices. We are also given expert(???) opinions on the affairs in Egypt. Danny's dog got into a fight you'll hear about that too. And, why does Chris dislike Weird Al so much?? You'll find out why when the guys respond to some of your emails.
Friday, January 28, 2011 - 22:56 What if I told you that you could change your life listening to Comical Radio for TWO SHORT HOURS? You would shit your pants? Well then, I'm glad I didn't tell you face to face. Or face to pants. Comical Radio hosted fitness guru John Basedow of "Fitness Made Simple" fame and he broke...
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.
This was a fun show to broadcast as we were joined in studio by our buddy from Comical Radio, Danny Lobell and our new friend, french comedian Sami Ameziane.

Adding fuel to the fire of the last episode, Danny brings in close friend and recovering heroin addict George in an attempt to get Kasten to lay off the smack. George tells tales of being incarcerated, stealing bikes to avoid $2 fares and finally recovering after a long uphill battle. The Battle for Kasten’s sobriety will continue until the hosts finally win. Late bloomer stand-up comedian John Kawie is alive and kicking after suffering a stroke that couldn’t keep him down. He sufficiently scared hypochondriacs Myka and Danny after talking about how sudden his stroke came on. To make the conversation even lighter, the hosts reminisced about a dead comedy club booker with Kawie. Let's just say this interview was a little on the morbid side. Dan Fishback, a gay and Jewish musician/motivational speaker/life coach attempts to set the crew straight and make their lives all a bit easier. He was the first person in Comical Radio history to agree that living in your grandmother’s basement is a-okay. Chris was finally vindicated after years of mockery from the crew. Crew: 2,370. Chris: 1! And that was it for part one folks! Make sure to download part two next week where we talk to Andy Kaufman’s co-conspirator Bob Zmuda, former male stripper/fencer/unicyclist/mixed martial artist AND comedian Dante Nero with a random drop in from Bobby Slayton.
Danny and Chris talk to Dave about his ongoing dabbling in heroin. They also try to get to the root of why Dave is the way he is. Blame America! Speaking of Roots, a kindly old black man visits the show in the form of an impression Danny drunkenly performed on New Year’s Eve. Mmmmm… pork ribs. And we learn about Morocco and how to treat all of your wives equally.. just kidding. Jew wives are double points. DRUGS! STEREOTYPES! ISLAM! They’re all here on Monday’s episode of Danny Lobell and the Crew. Be sure to check out our next episode on Friday!
WE ARE THE WU TANG First show back in the new year and Comical Radio gets blessed by comedian/TV star/movie star LARRY MILLER. Miller bestowed Danny, Myka, and Chris with a comedy diploma and told them they are the Wu Tang Clan. Even Larry Miller is down with the Wu. College Humor's H. CALDWELL TANNER came in and tore the page off Comical Radio's "Days Since Making A Nazi Joke" calendar. He will draw black Hitlers on request. Musical Duo STUCKEY AND MURRAY came in and settled the score... they are not nearly as jealous of Flight of the Concords as Danny is of Marc Maron's WTF. Does this smell like chloroform? MARGARET CHO called in and revealed the only two rules to being an Asian comedian: Rule #1: Do impressions of your mother Rule #2: Talk about fish And that was the show. New episode coming Monday. Visit the forums in the meantime.
EMMA WILLMANN is a lesbian, even though she could pass as straight. Emma insists she barely talks about being a lesbian on stage or talks to other gay people offstage. She and gay celebrity JASON STUART had a nice convo about gay shit before Jason turned his attention to convincing David Kasten to sleep in his office in LA. Finally, KEVIN ALLISON chose Comical Radio as the last place he wanted to see alive. Then he dove headfirst into a vat of pancakes and lemonade. That man will RISK anything to lose a few pounds.
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.
Win a date with Myka Fox! To qualify, contestants had to meet these requirements: -Be a newly released jailbird homosexual who ties up tiny Malaysian boys in basements -Have fifty years experience pronouncing your own name incorrectly and lisping racial slurs Comedian and tough guy homo gambler Bobby Haha and 30 Rock extra Gawy competed for the false promise of a date with Myka. While Chris and Kasten asked and judged a series of tough questions, Myka stared dreamily at the hot 15 year old drummer from Moon Hooch who was waiting in the corner of the studio to perform. Moon Hooch. Two saxaphones, one drum kit, a ton of great noise. Hater David Kasten voted them best band ever to play on Comical, they were immediately invited to perform on the Comical Radio's upcoming Night Of Fun. If you are in NY, Come see Joe Garden (The Onion), Liam McEneany (Comedy Central, Tell Your Friends), Rick Cusick (High Times Mag) Patrick and Dennis Carlin (Brother and Nephew of the late great George Carlin, respectively), and the Comical Radio Crew this coming Wednesday, December 15th, at the Habibi Lounge, 198 Ave A (Btw 12th and 13th). Doors at 7:30, show at 8pm. $5. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS.
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.
Another one of Comical Radio's hosts is single again, and this time it isn't Iacono. That's right folks, our very own Myka Fox is available and playing the field. Keep your eye out for her all alone at the end of seedy bar during happy hour drinking white wine by herself and making up illnesses. On a weirder note Gawy called in and Chris abruptly questioned his poetry publishing credentials. The show wrapped up with a special guest visit from the one and only Charlie Murphy. He filled the crew in on some lesser known facts about his act and life, and the best ways to handle a rowdy college crowd.
Comical Radio turned the mics on early tonight a casual business meeting discussing the show's future finances caught fire, burning down the hosts' civility and painting the studio in ashes of pettiness. The major issues at stake: Who works the hardest? Can fifty bucks be split four ways? What does advertising have to do with Kasten's childhood molestation? And later in the show.... Chris gets raped on the cheap beds at Sleepy's and Myka goes to LA, shits in her pants on stage, and then sucks it back up her butt.
The toughest gay man alive gets bumped from Comical Radio due to Kid Rock's interview running long. Disappointed with his turnout, he abruptly corners our Asian intern and threatens to do awful things to his rear end.
Amber Alert! Amber Alert! Robert Kelly is near the Comical Radio Studio. No real danger it is just his new iPhone alerting us where his comedy is taking place. Now if only there was an app to protect us from Pedophile Santa. Besides stopping by to discuss his app, Kelly also talked about his show on FX Louie and ghosts of a white race only, which turned Chris a little spiritual. Along with his confession of his belief in ghosts, Chris also confided his aspirations to become a corporate comedian. Yes, folks Chris is about to put down the flannel and put on a suit and tie. Our next guest, Annoyance Theater founder and a Second City director, Mick Napier, prefers at times to not wear any clothes at all during his comedy. An exhibitionist, Napier talked about the typical Naked Comedy scene. With crowds consisting of bachelorette parties, gays and reluctant boyfriends. In true Comical Radio fashion, Kasten found the opportunity to make fun of natural disaster, when New Orleans born comedian Neal Stasney came into the studio. After moving off the topic of Hurricane Katrina, Kasten questioned whether Anne Rice was dead or alive or just pissed off about Twilight? The last interview was deemed the “easiest interview ever” by our guest Kid Rock, as Danny fondly recounted how they met without letting Rock put a word in. Kid Rock called in to talk about his new album Born Free, how his sound has developed into country. Rock revealed his old Vegas concert demands which included goldfish in bathtub and old people scooters. Oh, to live the life of a Kid Rock n Rolla.
The show kicked off with remembering the legendary comic actor Leslie Nielson. Which led to Kasten going in depth about OJ Simpson’s acting career, which then led to Danny continuing to quote way too many Nielson films. After reminiscencing about a restaurant in Queens built in honor of cult leader, Shri Shimrol (or was it Tri Trimrow?). The gang thought it’d be a brilliant idea to start a religion of their own. Calling on all Comical Radio cult listeners, you too can be a member of Comicism. Just abide by the following rules: -Celibacy is not encouraged, but mindless sex is. -Donate $1 a day to Comical Radio. -You must give a 5 star rating for Comical Radio on iTunes. -Join the forums and post. After getting through the basics of the newly formed religion, Danny revealed his secret past time - Pedicures and Dumpling Factories. But its okay as long as he is smoking a cigar and drinking a whiskey. It was Monday, so the interns weren’t in to hear some good trash talking. Thankfully it was only about the ones in the way past. Kasten let out his frustration about a rich old intern who couldn’t keep his secrets while picking at Danny’s zits. Hiring procedures have become more strict as Chris's corporate comedy career begins.
Special Guest Judy Carter calls into the Comical Radio studio. While Chris and Kasten finish up the episode from last week, Judy schooled the boys on a few things they can do to help their respective careers, Number one: don't do comedy on Long Island. Walking away from Governor's Comedy Club is the first step in any comedians career. Second: visit www.judycarter.com or www.standup411.com and check out one of her courses. Chris seemed to get excited at the prospect of working for more than cold chicken marsala and boxed wine Danny called in from Pittsburg at the end of the show to let everyone know how cool Ralphie May is and to find out why he received an angry babbling message from last weeks guest, Steve Hoftsetter. See Ep: 275 Part 1
Comical Radio crew have commandeered the airwaves - Chris and Danny destroy the Oldbridge, NJ Knights of Columbus followed by a thugalicious parking lot session in Staten Island complete with sex club stories. - 80's music night is sooo passe - To quell the cries for more Daddy Iacono, Chris assures the audience that the Iacono's are brilliant in small doses only. - We flatter the listeners on the forums
Uh oh, someone left the kids unchaperoned. That’s right Chris and Dave were left alone to fend for themselves as Danny and Myka were off on their ventures around the US. The two forces battle the great debate of who was hotter Kelly Kapowski or Jessie Spano? The show seemed like it would go well until the end of the intro when Dave decided to start talking smack about the first guest, Danny McDermott. Danny got on the air and the match was already set between him and Kasten. Eventually the air cleared out when everyone could bond over placenta cream and Dave’s vaginal malformation. Our next guest, Aaron Karo, had a few problems with his last name. Does it identify him as Irish, Italian or a syrup? None of these, he’s just a Jew from Long Island with a Comedy Central special airing tonight or is it tomorrow- Damn, those bad guest notes!
Everyone stumbles into the studio half hung over after Danny's annual Pre Thanksgiving party for all comical staff and past interns and friends. Chris denies boyfriend points are real. Danny talks about going to Woodstock and hanging with Carlin's older brother in a cabin. Kasten talks about shitting his pants at Gun Point. Danny's manager calls into the show to call Iacono out on something. This blog is being written in short sentences that don't connect because the author is still hung over. If you find e on the street lying on my face we will have lots to talk about on Friday. Enjoy the show.
The legend of the Petrified Iacono family heirloon is revealed! Plus... ------ Hark! The herald angel sings! Gurian says the weirdest things. Danny always gets him riled Asking 'bout he girls defiled! He reports on the dancing news, And always brings his deranged spoons, Documenting his own life But not the details of his wife. --------- Odd Rosenberg, Todd Rosenberg, Your life coach is a train wreck. Odd Rosenberg, Todd Rosenberg, Myka just wants a paycheck. She blew off your latest email, Your movie will never prevail. Odd Rosenberg, Todd Rosenberg, Switch to Time Warner Cable. --------
One cold November night four individuals in their mid-late twenties got together for an evening chat. These were not any random four people however these were four friends that have known each other for years and at least once a week over those years they would get together to check in with each other, all the while of course pursing a shared dream. So it stands to reason that these four would be sensitive to each others needs and supportive shoulders for each other to lean on. Generally speaking that might be a correct assumption but in this case we are talking about the cast of Comical Radio who have made a career out of lovingly shitting on each other and pulling no punches. Danny is Fat, Chris is a goofy Italian, Kasten is a drug addicted psychotic antisocial basement dweller and Myka is a paranoid neurotic hypochondriac with anxiety problems. We get it! But Maybe it's deeper than that, maybe just maybe these are the four most maladjusted unsupportive unsympathetic people to ever pull off a consistently listened to show with any kind of longevity. Perhaps it's an entire show of Artie Langs and the audience is just tuning in with baited breath each week to see who will break down the fastest or the hardest. It is possible that that question was answered today when Myka left mid-show during the commercial break to goto the hospital because she was uncontrollably shaking. Was it psychosomatic? Is she really dieing? Will the Comical Crew have sympathy if she does or are they all truly assholes? Perhaps the better question is how many boyfriend points will Chris accumulate for wearing the proper suit to the funeral! I guess you will just have to stay tuned to find out more.One cold November night four individuals in their mid-late twenties got together for an evening chat.

Time out, young and old listeners! Today in the studio we had a crash course on dumb college kids, dead culture of New York, pulling pranks and loving your daddy. First up we had Greg Proops, a comedian concerned with his college audiences, who could never quite leave Harry Potter after age twelve. He also talked about the disaster that is technology and thats when it was discovered that Chris is only allowed to attend parties through the internet. Ben Stein, Eugene Levy- No - Michael Musto stopped by the studio and discussed his many mistaken identities, favorite gays, and Broadway shows. He shared stories from the good old days of a grimier New York City when the Studio 54 made sure the likes of Danny and Chris were not allowed into clubs. The crew wanted to help fulfill gay intern Thomas's fantasy by setting him and Musto up on a date, but sadly Musto wasn't ready to take the chance. Everyone was on the edge of their seats when professional pranker and founder of Improv Everywhere, Charlie Todd stopped by. He shared prank stories, from pretending to be Ben Folds to making a small band believe they actually had fans and many more. All these stories made Myka theorize that Improv Everywhere has caused mass suicide. Realizing that Todd had taught at UCB, Danny once again tried desperately to continue on from level 3 instead of level 2. After being denied he thought about suicide and then decided to prank his way into the class! Our last guest, comedian storyteller, Kambri Crews, came by to tell us about her life post Comix. She discussed her love for her very gay husband Christian (which made Chris break out into song and dance). While Crews talked about the Big Brother program, she inspired the Hosts of Comical Radio to volunteer, do their part for the community and start hiring twelve year old interns from the program. Crews also shared what it is like to have a relationship with a father in prison. Its a lovely one!
Chris Iacono storms the airwaves with his very own show on Comical Radio. With guests Warren Holstein and Patrick from Cringe Humor.
Another great monday at comical radio. The crew discusses Danny's Breasts, Names for Chris' show and whether or not there are fake people on the forums. Dave stops by for his first Monday show.
Shabibiaabooom! Comical Radio in your face. What do you get when you cross an Italian and an ogre? Myka Fox. I know that makes no sense but listen to the show and you can figure it out for yourself. The crew discussed Myka’s trip into the Forrest Larping as a sexy rouge elf. Danny came in with Food poisoning and was off on his timing when he told the story of how chickens are modern day Jews in oppression. Then the crew reminisced about their trip up to Gloversville one winter and how they all almost died. Danny’s manager Patrick from Cringe Humor called in to promote the Roast of Jim Florentine and get chewed out by a tornado vampire Jew. To wrap things up Chris read from the forums and the iTunes comments and discussed why he thinks Keith and the girl are idiots for attacking Danny on their show. And that was it folks Tune in Thursday when Garfeild creator Jim Davis calls into “Too Much Information with Dan and Dan”.
Bam! Comical Radio abruptly assaults the airwaves with no time to warm up. Why? Let's say technical difficulties and red tape as far as the eye can see. But hey, when something goes wrong, improvise. Improvising was a recurring theme on today's show which started with Upright Citizen Brigade's very own founding member, Matt Besser. Matt discussed studying improv under the late, great Del Close and how Steve Martin and Andy Kaufman. Still more was discussed concerning Besser's cut of UCB, reparations for Amy Poehler's success and Danny's futile attempts to pick up UCB classes where he left off... 6 years ago. Oh and parties, my god, the parties. Passing out at one of these shindigs can be neatly improvised as simply falling asleep. In all, it was probably the worst Besser interview of all time. We at comical radio are always striving for the record books. Next up was a fistful of awkward via telephone with the gentlemen of Magic Hugs (Scott Blair and Tim Wilkerson.) Outside the hilarious video this duo produces let's just say common interests were sorely lacking. But hey, that makes for some good radio. Completing the UCB double-dip was Chris Hines, the veteran imrpov instructer at UCB theater. Once again Danny tries to bargain his way back into UCB Theater to no avail, but there's no harm in trying. Maybe because he's a dastardly stand-up comic who has no right to ride the coattails of fine improvisational actors. Kasten might have a shot, though, with his best pedophiliscious Santa Claus. Live in the studio was up and coming music act, Swear and Shake. These serenading sweethearts warmed the studio with their folk-pop prowess, despite Kasten's Simon Cowell-esque disposition. Lastly was a phone call from Steve Rannazzisi of FX's "The League." Unfortunately, due to time constraints the interview was shorter than his tongue-twisting last name. Steve still had time to assure us the listeners that The League is not as much for football fans as it for those who just really hate their friends. But when your friends are A-Holes, just improvise.
Let's Twist again! Like we did the last time Myka went to the ER. Don't worry Comical Radio fans. Myka is okay. Her hypochondria has been flaring up again. Myka spent a day in the ER and tried to convince a team of impatient specialists that the sounds coming out of her chest were abnormal. The crack team at the Comical Radio Studio's have determined that Myka has 6 months to live, and 3 months to learn how to dance.
Oh my god. Oh my god, what does it mean? Tell me. Too much. I don’t know what it means. Oh my god it’s so intense. Oh. Oh. Oh my god. Right in Comical Radio's backyard, Bear Vasquez, the double rainbow guy, called in and revealed mystical truths about his reluctance to sell advertising on his famous youtube video, his connection with the Spirit, and his Mormon harem of BDSM women. If you ask questions like these, you'll never understand. Prodigal guest Micah Sherman finally makes it in for his first appearance on Comical. Rise of the Radio Show fans may recognize him as Myka's boyfriend on the "Look Who's Not Talking" episode, others may recognize him as Paul Giamatti's voice twin, and David Kasten may not remember him at all. Star Trek commander Harry Terjanian, requesting permission to come aboard the Star Ship Enterprise! Harry weighs in on basement living, comedy's prejudice against the fat community, and where Armenia is on the map.

Danny Lobell, the great host of Comical Radio, comedian, and part time concert security guard, talks music with MLR. We discuss the tragic death of Danny’s friend Harvey Pekar, the impact he had on Danny’s life, especially with respect to his love of jazz music. Recorded the day of Pekar’s death, we get to listen to […]
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?
THIS JUST IN: Illegal baby bartering at Walmart proves that white trash babies are more valuable than any other babies. Except for slave babies, who will give you a lifetime of benefits. If you want a useless meth baby, however, just go to Walmart and look for the drugged out mullet champ holding a $25 dollar baby. Can you say rollback? Katy Olson's babies are soon to be famous for inventing the breast bong. Milk in shot form is the best kind of milk. Other than tittie milk. An unbeatable combination! Today Danny Lobell continued to amaze the universe with his idiocy. "Commence" does not mean "to end". I might be getting ahead of myself here, but I THINK it means the opposite...can we get confirmation? Then Chris Iacono's hateful existence reached new heights. He hates hard tacos. Michael Ian Black, our call-in guest, was so offended by this that he hung up. A dial tone is truly the best reaction to this blasphemy. Michael Ian Black hides his career from his children. Because if they find out what he does, they'll probably also find out about his other, far superior, secret family. Why on earth did Jordon Ferber get a B.A. in liberal arts? It doesn't matter because his girlfriend is a solid ten. Black models and short pocket Jews can have true love, somehow. Lucky bastard. As usual, Chris tried to prove to someone (is anyone listening?) that he can get hot chicks too. Intern Allison was forced to go into the studio to crush his daydreams. Also known as lies.

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.
One day you are smoking Snoop Dog's weed, the next day you need an Israeli guy to protect you in the recording studio. Welcome back, Comical Radio! Double dose of the Carlin Call-in today. First up, Pat, George Carlin's older brother. Danny and the crew forced him to speak in a Popeye voice (to be fair, Pat thought he was just being dogger, then he reminisced about the old days when the brother's stole wallets from a department store and discovered the ultimate theft of the magi, nothing to put in the wallet unless you sell it, then no where to put the money once it is sold. Kelly, George Carlin's daughter, called in next and extended her services as a life-coach the Comical Crew. Once it was all sorted out, the results were damning: anyone who needs a life coach actually just needs rehab. The problem is, once everyone is off drugs and alcohol, what are they to do with their lives? I smell a need for a life coach yet! Tom Leopold, writer for Seinfeld, Cheers, and some bigger shows came in to the studio with a tasty travel tip: The best chicken salad can be found at the snack bar at the Holocaust Museum. Don't doubt Leopold's opinions for a second, he learned to masturbate by humping Playboys on the ground and is convinced that Chevy Chase is not a jerk. Ian Bagg came in fresh off a glamorous subway ride where he attempted to keep his opinions about Bruce Springsteen to himself. It wouldn't be proper coming from a member of the Canadian Alliance, an outfit that unites Bagg with fellow Maple Leaf Comedians. Here are Ian's paraphrased opinions of fellow Canadians Harland Williams and Jim Carrey. Jim Carey: "Me, Myself and Irene" was a great movie that highlights the downturn of Rene Zellweger's appeal. Harland Williams: Is a bucket full of golf balls Dylan Gadino called in with the Punchline Update, here's the synthesized news: Blue Collar Comedy should be called Hillbilly Comedy. And that was the show. Stay tuned for future cries for help and acknowledgments of grandeur.
Godfrey stuck around for the next guest calling in, Charlie Murphy, who said he had been spending the last few months digging through his crates for audio of jokes he has told and really liked. He said he plans to cut them together to create a comedy album, “Digging Through the Crates.†Murphy defended himself as Danny attempted to incite an argument, accusing Eddie Murphy of not helping Charlie the way that Chris Rock helps Tony. Murphy said he preferred to have gotten his break from Chappelle and that it garnered him more respect, respect he apparently could not gain from covering himself in chains and rings at a Gotham Comedy Club show. Lessons were learned, and then Murphy creepily vowed to remain friends with Chappelle whether or not his friendship was welcome, much like Danny and the crew remain friends with the comedians on the show.
