This is an Encore Presentation of my December 2022 interview with Bruce Belland of The Four Preps, America's first boy band. Their 1958 million selling hit “26 Miles Across The Sea” made them into international pop stars. The song influenced Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and inspired Jimmy Buffett. The Preps were featured on the Ed Sullivan Show and had a recurring role in “Ozzie And Harriet”. They even co-starred in the movie “Gidget” with Sandra Dee. In total they had 8 Gold Singles and 3 Gold Albums. Bruce talks about his fascinating life in the entertainment business including his date with Nancy Sinatra. My featured song is “Around The Horn” from the Made In New York album by my band, Project Grand Slam.

NOTHIN' COMES EASY: The Life of Rodney Dangerfield (April 29, 2025) is the first biography of the "bug-eyed, sweaty, herky-jerky, tie-pulling comedian with the doleful countenance." Dangerfield's indelible beat-down image was played for laughs, but there were sad truths behind his sad-sack persona. TV writer Michael Seth Starr has crafted an immensely entertaining bio of the comedian's slog up the show business ladder. Ten years as a C-level stand-up comedian, he quit the business to sell aluminum siding and paint to keep the lights on. Then he went back to the clubs under an entirely new name, from Jack Roy to Rodney Dangerfield. A career-changing appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show at the ripe age of forty-five would be the lucky break, opening doors to television, movies, and comic fame at last. His catch phrase, "I don't get no respect," underscored his circuitous rise to the top after years of setbacks and grit. "What stood out for me, in authoring this book," writes Starr, '"was Dangerfield's perseverance in the face of such overwhelming odds. I was impressed at how he launched a second comedy career as a man already in his forties and out of the game for a decade. He never abandoned his undeniable urge to get back in the game and to share his seemingly unending reservoir of magical one-liners." At the beginning of his comeback, he began writing jokes for comedians like Jackie Mason and Joey Bishop, in the days before the "no respect" persona was solidified. He worked agentless, making his own deals. And it took him a solid five years to clinch his now celebrated debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. It took another few years of hustling on the circuit before he landed on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, which opened a wealth of doors in Hollywood. Dangerfield's comedy style - a self-mocking angst, the comedy of the perpetual loser - was endearing and universal. He was the schlubby Everyman snubbed by life, finally making it big. Soon Dangerfield would be leaving his mark in films, most famously in Caddyshack and Back to School. He was rebuffed in later years by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - which refused him membership. But Dangerfield had already cemented his place in comedy history as a writer and performer. When he died in 2004, his death made international headlines. Among his pallbearers were George Carlin, Roseanne Barr, Chris Rock, Larry David, Andrew Dice Clay, Jon Lovitz, and Carl Reiner. The book closes with a highly engaging chapter, "Riffs on Rodney," with remembrances of the comic from his peers including Jay Leno, Rita Rudney, Bob Nelson, Robert Wuhl, and Pauly Shore. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

We dive deep into the life and career of the comedian who gets “no respect,” Rodney Dangerfield. Author Michael Seth Starr joins Comedy History101 to talk about his new biography Nothin' Comes Easy, revealing how Dangerfield clawed his way back into comedy at age 45, the origins of his famous catchphrase, how he rewrote his persona, and finally got the respect he deserved. From aluminum siding to The Ed Sullivan Show to Caddyshack, we trace the underdog rise of one of comedy's most iconic voices. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After a 23 year run that included introducing American audiences to The Beatles, Elvis Presley and The Rolling Stones, the last original episode of ‘The Ed Sullivan Show' aired on CBS on March 28, 1971. The variety programme, which cost $8 million per year, fell victim to ‘the rural purge', via which several iconic shows that appealed mainly to poorer and older demographics were axed in favour of screening old movies. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how Sullivan was able to become a TV superstar, despite having no discernible talent for presentation; explain how the host's advancing senility gave an early advantage to comedian Joan Rivers; and reveal whom this famously polite father figure deigned to call ‘bitch'… Further Reading: • ‘Right Here on Our Stage Tonight! - Ed Sullivan's America, By Gerald Nachman' (University of California Press, 2009):  https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Right_Here_on_Our_Stage_Tonight/v7owDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=ed+sullivan+show+28th+march+1971&pg=PA384&printsec=frontcover • ‘Ed Sullivan, Variety Show Host Influenced American Culture' (ThoughtCo, 2019): https://www.thoughtco.com/ed-sullivan-4589827 • ‘Elvis Presley performs "Hound Dog" on The Ed Sullivan Show' (CBS, 1956): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNYWl13IWhY&list=PLQWND5qZhbj0nqnmye5U2g3Z-ai8wos4p Love the show?

Mais bon dieu, qu'est-ce qu'il lui a pris de vouloir jouer devant un public ? C'est vrai qu'Allan Konigsberg n'a rien pour lui, je veux dire physiquement, pour réussir dans le showbizness des années 50. Et du haut de son mètre 63, il l'a bien compris. Il aurait habité le milieu de la campagne ou des montagnes rocheuses, il aurait pu se rêver acteur ou musicien star, il n'avait aucun modèle sous les yeux dans son quotidien. Mais quand on habite New York, dans un appartement d'une pièce situé juste à côté de la porte électrique d'un immeuble aux multiples étages et qu'à quelques centaines de mètres de là, toutes les stars du théâtre et du cinéma jouent à Broadway, que des dizaines de gars triomphent dans les cafés théâtres de Greenwich Village ou les boîtes chics des grands boulevards, on a des exemples à qui se comparer quand on se tient le matin devant le miroir de la salle de bains.Non, Allen, qui a choisi de transformer son prénom en nom, prenant Woody comme prénom, a trouvé sa voie. Depuis l'adolescence il sait comment faire rire, envoyer une vanne ou imaginer des situations comiques, mais il les fait dire et jouer par d'autres qui le paient très bien pour ça. Ainsi à seize ans, il écrit déjà Sid Caesar, le comique de la radio et de la télé. Seize ans, vous le croyez, ça ? Alors qu'il est toujours à l'école. Sans doute est-ce la raison pour laquelle les cours à l'université ne vont pas l'intéresser. Les années passent. Woody grimpe à la télé, jusqu'au sommet, c'est-à-dire les émissions les plus regardées par l'Amérique comme le Ed Sullivan Show qui révèle les plus grands talents le dimanche soir comme Elvis Presley.Alors qu'est-ce qui lui a pris de laisser germer cette graine tombée dans le terreau de sa créativité d'artiste. En effet, la chaîne NBC qui l'emploie l'envoie dans une boîte très chic où tout coûte un pont, assister au show de l'humoriste du moment : Mort Sahl. Woody serait bien incapable d'expliquer ce qui fait le génie de ce gars mais une chose est sûre : il a foutu sa vie en l'air. Car désormais, Woody veut être lui. Aussi pour la première fois, il écrit un sketch qu'il joue un soir au débotté devant des amis producteurs. Et ils le trouvent très drôle, au point de lui monter un plan de dingue. Oui, ce dimanche soir, une star du stand up demande à la salle comble venue l'applaudir, de rester après le spectacle pour voir un débutant. Et voilà un petit homme qui s'avance, liquéfié de frayeur, vers ce micro dressé au milieu d'une scène qui lui paraît immense. Le silence tombe sur le public avec le dernier applaudissement, il pèse des tonnes sur les épaules de Woody qui balaye du regard ces crânes dont il ne distingue que le contour mais devine dans l'ombre les paires d'yeux posées sur lui, et rien que lui.Après une interminable poignée de secondes, il se lance enfin … et les rires fusent. Si fort, si bruyants que Woody semble rétrécir dans son costume, écrasé par les cascades de rires et les applaudissements. Quelques minutes plus tard, comment est-il arrivé sur cette chaise dans la loge, il ne s'en souvient pas ? Entouré de ses amis qui, il l'ignore encore, vont produire tous ses futurs films. Il écoute les conseils, qui tombent de gauche et de droite, il est dépassé par l'intensité de ce qui lui arrive. Le lendemain, les propositions vont pleuvoir de partout, Woody Allen est né au public ce soir de l'an 1960.

Guest host Rich Berra (email) welcomed music journalist Harvey Kubernik for a discussion on various music subjects, including the impact of the Beatles, the resurgence of vinyl, and the popularity of music documentaries. Kubernik reflected on the monumental cultural impact of the Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show 61 years ago. He highlighted how the band had already achieved notable success with their number one hit "I Want to Hold Your Hand" but emphasized that the televised performance cemented their influence in America. Kubernik reported on how their arrival coincided with a moment of national recovery after the JFK assassination, bringing a sense of optimism and energy. He noted that the Beatles were reflecting American music back to the U.S., drawing from influences like Motown and rock and roll, which made their sound simultaneously familiar and fresh.Kubernik spoke about the enduring relevance of classic bands like the Beatles and Rolling Stones, who continue to win Grammys even decades later. He attributed their longevity to the timeless quality of their music, the multi-generational sharing of their records, and the emotional connections audiences maintain with their songs. Kubernik contrasted this with the fleeting careers of many contemporary artists, noting that the key to enduring success lies in the strength of the material itself. He emphasized how changing technology has shifted how artists make money, moving from record sales to touring and streaming, while vinyl experiences a nostalgic resurgence among younger listeners.Kubernik reflected on the unique climate of the 1960s, which allowed bands like the Beatles to focus entirely on their music without the distractions of modern branding and social media. He drew a connection between the disciplined work ethic of these bands and their roots in post-World War II experiences. He also touched on the role of reissues and documentaries in preserving the legacy of classic music, noting the increased access to archival footage and the deeper understanding of artists' lives and creative processes.------------------------------------------During the third hour, hypnotist Jeff Bliss delved into the topic of hypnosis. He defined hypnosis as a state of heightened focus and subconscious engagement, using examples like feeling emotions during a sad movie to illustrate how the subconscious mind accepts suggestions and triggers emotions without conscious effort. He described hypnosis not as being put under but as entering a focused state, like when deeply engaged in a book or watching a scene that pulls attention. Bliss emphasized how the subconscious mind influences actions and emotions, explaining that fear and emotions act as gateways for subconscious programming. By using exercises like pendulum movements, he illustrated how imagining and focusing can reveal subconscious influences and help redirect thoughts or habits.Bliss examined practical applications of subconscious reprogramming, such as breaking negative loops of anxiety or anger by rewiring mental triggers. He shared methods for shifting dominant thoughts to positive outcomes, focusing on what you want instead of what you fear or want to avoid. He emphasizes conscious visualization as a tool to override negative subconscious patterns, whether it's to curb habits, overcome failures, or foster better emotional resilience. Through his book concept of "Yodas, Rhinos, and Heroes," he advocated following the "wise voice" in your mind (Yoda) over the negative, self-sabotaging voice, to promote long-term growth and self-awareness.

William Franklin Guest was an original member of the iconic, soulful, multi-Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group, Gladys Knight & the Pips. He was there when the group formed out of friendships and family, playing in churches back in 1952. He was with them for nearly four decades, known as the best dancer of the group, on stage performing hits like Midnight Train To Georgia, I've Got to Use My Imagination, Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me, and I Heard It Through the Grapevine. His story has never been told.Until now. With the release of Midnight Train from Georgia, musical fans will learn not only the details of his storied life, but they will read an inspiring tale about the bonds of family, love, church and music. They will also learn a bit about the music industry and the birth of Motown. It is the time of The Apollo, Soul Train, Ed Sullivan Show, and Dick Clark. It's both a personal story – and one of music history. William's sister-in-law, Dhyana Ziegler, also a songwriter, interviewed William over several years before he died in 2015. The book, which received the Bronze from the Fall 2024 BookFest Awards and an International Impact Book Award in December, 2024, is based off of edited transcripts of those interviews, along with some commentary from Dhyana. Midnight Train from Georgia chronicles the incredible rise of Gladys Knight and the Pips from their origins singing in a small Atlanta church to their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. When two families' destinies intertwined at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, they discover the extraordinary musical talents of their children. Young cousins William, Eleanor Guest, Gladys, Brenda Knight, and Bubba Knight unite their heavenly vocals to form The Pips gospel choir.We follow William from his formative years in Atlanta, where his love of music is kindled by evenings listening to his family perform rhythmic gospel songs on their porch. The Pips' journey takes them from these humble back-porch jam sessions to struggle and sacrifice on the road to stardom. With faith, fortitude and William's grandmother's lessons to guide them, the group overcomes adversity through the transcendent power of their music.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Guest host Richard Syrett (Twitter) was joined by researcher Stephen Sakellarios to discuss reincarnation, his past life experience, and a conspiracy theory regarding 19th-century author Charles Dickens. According to Sakellarios, Dickens did not originate "A Christmas Carol" but instead adapted it from the works of Mathew Franklin Whittier and his wife, Abby. He argued that elements of mysticism and spiritualism in "A Christmas Carol" are inconsistent with Dickens' other works. Sakellarios highlighted evidence such as Mathew's affiliation with spiritualist organizations and Abby's mystic poetry, arguing that Dickens, a materialist and skeptic, could not have authentically incorporated such themes.Sakellarios referenced instances in Dickens' career that suggest a pattern of appropriation, such as his involvement with illustrator Robert Seymour, whose work on The Pickwick Papers he believes Dickens manipulated and claimed credit for, driving Seymour to despair. Similarly, he cited a letter Dickens wrote with a Freudian slip that implies he "fastened on" rather than created "A Christmas Carol." The Whittiers likely sought to inspire social change through the story, but after Abby's death, Mathew entrusted the manuscript to Dickens, who reworked it under financial pressure, he suggested.Sakellarios described an intriguing connection to what he believes is a past life as Mathew Franklin Whittier, centering on an architectural detail in a house believed to be tied to Mathew and Abby. The story begins with a vision of Abby leading Mathew up the stairs of a house and into a small, hidden room resembling a linen closet. This unique feature—a door seemingly cut into the wall, leading to a nine-by-nine room midway between floors—turned out to exist in two houses linked to Abby's family property. The architectural detail, which Sakellarios had never encountered before, matched his vision and was corroborated during research. This and other details solidify Sakellarios's belief that he is the reincarnation of Whittier.TOTO, The Beatles, & Yacht RockIn the first hour, musician Steve Lukather reflected on his extraordinary career with a mix of humility and gratitude, emphasizing the milestones that have defined his journey. As a founding member of TOTO, he experienced global success, including Grammy-winning albums and hit singles like "Africa" and "Rosanna". Lukather talked about his work as a session guitarist on numerous iconic projects, including Michael Jackson's Thriller, where he contributed to tracks "The Girl Is Mine" and "Beat It". He described working with legends Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr as surreal, particularly given his lifelong admiration for The Beatles, who inspired his love for music after he saw them perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. Lukather also discussed his participation in the recent Yacht Rock documentary.

Time for some country comedy today, courtesy of the legendary Sheb Wooley who was a fine actor and songwriter as well as comic performer. Sheb started out as a rodeo rider, as well as a guitar and fiddle man. When injuries from the rodeo kept him out of the military in WWII, Sheb pivoted to music scoring his first his with a bona-fide rock and roll novelty classic, The Purple People Eater. From there Sheb kept racking up the hits, using the name Ben Colder when contractual issues kept him from issuing new material. He also was a solid western actor with key roles in Rawhide and High Noon and Sheb's theme song for the long-running show Hee Haw became an ear worm in the 1970s (and beyond). So with his singing, songwriting, and acting all winning awards you can say Sheb was a rural renaissance man. As always find extra cuts below and thanks for sharing our shows. Want more Sheb? One bit of Sheb trivia -- he was responsible for recording a scream that was subsequently used in many movies over the years. Known as the Wilhelm scream, Sheb laid it to tape back in 1951. https://youtu.be/rksd5v43zxI?si=ZiKwMhgjmzNQoLMj Sheb's first hit was a rock and roll novelty classic -- The Purple People Eater. Here's Sheb performing the song on The Ed Sullivan Show back in 1958.https://youtu.be/67tKNEsJjTI?si=flFb593sqlzYaWwO When legal issues prevented Sheb from releasing songs under his own name it was no problem -- Sheb simply morphed into Ben Colder -- a parody of a frequently inebriated country songwriter -- who would lampoon the country hits of the day. Sheb continued to release songs under both names for the rest of his career. https://youtu.be/NVGtxbN2yGs?si=7Ah1rXPiCxd0qKeE If you have ever had the theme to the television show Hee Haw stuck in your brain you have Sheb to thank or curse. Besides being a frequent guest, Sheb composed the theme way back in 1969. https://youtu.be/KBEreTkQbds?si=RTvcGJfy6VZom0mr      

Peter Jesperson has had an incredible career in music. Initially inspired by watching The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, Peter took a job at legendary record store Oar Folkjokeopus in 1973 and became the primary DJ at Jay's Longhorn in 1977. He was a co-founder of Twin / Tone Records the following year. Along the way, Paul Westerberg dropped off the famous demo tape for The Replacements. Peter eventually became the manager for the 'Mats and spent time of the road with R.E.M. After overcoming some personal issues (he's now been 33 years sober!), Peter moved to LA and worked with New West Records and with artists like Vic Chestnutt, Jack Logan, The Flatlanders and many more. Most recently, he has written a fabulous new book, Euphoric Recall. We talked about his life and threw in some Chicago stories.

Send us a textGary Hall and Linda Adam-Hall first met in a commune in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1975. Gary, visiting a friend, ended up eating and talking with Linda. Linda was instantly impressed by Gary's kindness, and they connected quickly. They built that connection over time, committing after a year. As Gary puts it, they've been together unofficially for 48 years and officially for 44, as they married in 1980. The two have played music together for most of their relationship.Linda has sung in various choral groups over her life, and she learned to play the guitar from a friend of hers in the '60s. This friend, who also happened to be a nun, introduced her to folk groups such as Peter, Paul, and Mary and The Chad Mitchell Trio. She has played guitar and sung on and off for most of her life, but Gary says she's been playing longer than him. Even though Gary has loved music all of his life, he says his primary “ignition point,” especially into the rock and roll world, was in February 1964, when his dad got him and his sister out of bed to watch The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. He has dabbled in many styles of music, growing up around his parent's eclectic collection, which ranged from bluegrass to Broadway show tunes. In junior high and high school, he started playing instruments more, and by the time he left home, he started playing gigs seriously and as frequently as he could.Gary and Linda's accomplishments throughout their lives, personally and together, are sprawling. Gary has released six CDs of original music, performed for and music-directed many theater orchestras (as well as acting in many productions), and held a long-standing career as an IT director for Experian before serving as the chief information officer of Estes Park Health for eighteen years. Linda is an artist in her own right, also acting in many theater productions over her lifetime and creating books of her photography.

David Faucheux will be leading a historical fiction discussion as he does three times a year of Ella: a novel DB123445 by Diane Richards. Below is a book review submitted by David of this novel followed by its NLS annotation, Bookshare link, and Zoom invitation. Book review I want to thank Alan for forwarding this review of my December choice for discussion during the next Journey through History. First the NLS annotation: Ella: a novel DB123445 Author: Richards, Diane Reading Time: 10 hours, 24 minutes Read by: Alexandra Grey Subjects: Historical Fiction, African American Topics “When fifteen-year-old Ella Fitzgerald’s mother dies at the height of the Depression in 1932, the teenager goes to work for the mob to support herself and her family. When the law finally catches up, the “ungovernable” adolescent is incarcerated in the New York Training School for Girls in upstate New York–a wicked prison infamous for its harsh treatment of inmates, especially Black ones. Determined to be free, Ella escapes and makes her way back to Harlem, where she is forced to dance for pennies on the street. Looking for a break into show business, Ella draws straws to appear at the Apollo Theater’s Amateur Night on November 21, 1934. Rather than perform a dance routine directly after “The World Famous Edwards Sisters” number, the homeless Ella, wearing men’s galoshes a size too big, risks everything when she decides to sing Judy instead. Four years later, at barely twenty-one, Ella Fitzgerald has become the bestselling female vocalist in America.”– From publisher. Unrated. Commercial audiobook. I have always found biographical novels of interest because they somehow — and in a way that nonfiction simply cannot – manage to bring characters to life and make us care. Sometimes, after taking one of these historic novels in, I look for a nonfiction biography to add depth or another perspective. Reviewer's Note: See the short bibliography at the conclusion of this review. I found this novel about Ella Fitzgerald's early life interesting if a bit upsetting. The novel opens on July 18, 1948, with her about to appear on The very new Ed Sullivan Show. But then we are taken back to January of 1932 when Ella is told by her mother that she will have to help out in the laundry where the mother works. Ella, needless to say, is not amused. She loves to dance and has been practicing with her neighbor; they live in Yonkers and Ella lives for dance contests especially because participants who do well can earn money prizes. In any event, the mother unexpectedly dies at work, her white boyfriend becomes abusive to Ella who goes to live with her aunt in Harlem where she takes up with a criminal element and becomes a Numbers Runner in order to bring in much-needed income as the money is very good in the numbers racket. Her mentor is killed when the white mob decides that they want to muscle in on the lucrative numbers game. In typical mob fashion, people start dying as bullets start flying. Because Ella has been missing so much school at the excellent institution where her aunt has enrolled her, she is picked up by the truant officer. With the help of several police officers who have accompanied the truant officer, Ella is taken to jail. She then is sent to an upstate reformatory where she is badly treated as are other “colored” girls who are told “to know your place.” They are not taught typical high school subjects such as English as are the white girls but rather made to work in the reformatory garden. They learn from other imprisoned girls about the sexual predations of several low-life white, male workers at the reformatory. Ella herself is locked up in solitary for over a week. She manages to escape after a year when several of the girls, both white and African-American, are chosen to sing Christmas carols at the nearby town. With the help of several women hiding in the train yard, she hops a train to New York City and lives on the streets of Harlem where she dances with street kids for coins. Due to a lucky break (she draws the shortest straw), She is chosen for a coveted spot to participate in an early Amateur Night at the famed Apollo where the audience is known for its ruthless critique; if they like you — they love you. Otherwise, they scream and boo and you are swept off the stage by a broom-wielding tap dancing someone called The Executioner. Ella was supposed to dance but as she was put on first during Amateur Night, she would follow the conclusion of the professional show which consisted of two superb twin sister dancers clad in vivid yellow dresses spangled with sequins, even to their sparkly dance shoes. Ella manages to convince the emcee to let her sing which she does. The audience falls in love. Then, suddenly, we are back with Ed Sullivan and she goes on and sings. How Ella gets from the stage at the Apollo in November of 1934 to Sullivan's world in 1948 is anyone's guess as the novel does not explain. All in all, an excellent intro to Ella Fitzgerald with some interesting singing by narrator Alexandra Grey who herself has an interesting story to tell. Meet Alexandra Grey, the 2016 Breakout Star of … – ScreenCrush For further interest: Ella Fitzgerald – Ed Sullivan Show And on BARD Ella Fitzgerald: a biography of the first lady of jazz DB40020 She persisted: Ella Fitzgerald DB115988 Becoming Ella Fitzgerald: the jazz singer who transformed American song DB118643 Dangerous rhythms: jazz and the underworld DB109819 And I would encourage anyone interested in either Ella Fitzgerald or Marilyn Monroe to keep checking on BARD as I'm sure the novel Can't We Be Friends by Denny Bryce and Eliza Knight that came out earlier this year should appear there at some point. A search indicated at this time the book is not in progress, but I think it will eventually make it. I reviewed it for Library Journal and enjoyed it. There are certainly enough books, fiction and nonfiction, about Marilyn.

In this one, the Governor is still off the grid, so Dr. Rees and Jackson get into the real stuff—y'know, the kind of weird shit you do when no one's watchin'. You ever caught yourself in the mirror like Paul Rudd in Wanderlust? Yeah, we're talkin' about THAT level of weird. But wait, there's more! We take a detour into Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs. You know, the pyramid thing everyone brings up when they're tryin' to sound smart. Turns out, anxiety's lurking in there somewhere like a drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. And speakin' of Thanksgiving, the boys remind us why it's the king of holidays. Spoiler: it's all about Arlo Guthrie and his 18-minute masterpiece, Alice's Restaurant. That song? It's a rite of passage, not just a tune. Oh, and then we wrap it up with some solid old-school rebellion. Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas? She ate a BANANA on the freakin' Ed Sullivan Show. A BANANA! Back then, that was like moonin' the Queen. So grab a drink, pop in the earbuds, and let's dive into the beautifully absurd world of middle-aged nonsense. Hey, Bud, do us a solid, will ya? Head over to Apple Podcasts or Spotify, slap us with a 5-star rating, and maybe even toss in a quick review. Look, I'm not sayin' we've earned it yet, but c'mon—we're workin' on it! While you're at it, hit that ‘subscribe' button like it owes you money. And hey, swing by olddogpack.com and sign up for The Old Dog Pack newsletter. Is it gonna change your life? Nah. But it's free, so what're ya complaining about? Most importantly—and I mean this—tell a buddy about us. We're nothin' without you guys, and we wanna grow this thing into a whole pack of you maniacs. Help us out, huh?

Gladiators in the Colosseum. Sideshow performers. Reality television. We've always loved to gawk at the misery or majesty of others. But this week, we ask the question: What's it like when the tables are turned and all eyes are on you? Prologue: Ira talks to Joel Gold, a psychologist and author, about a strangely common delusion known as the "Truman Show Delusion," in which patients believe that they are being filmed, 24/7, for a national reality television program. (6 minutes)Act One: Producer Stephanie Foo speaks to Nasubi, a Japanese comedian who, in the 90s, just wanted a little bit of fame. So he was thrilled when he won an opportunity to have his own segment on a Japanese reality TV show. Until he found out the premise: he had to sit in an empty apartment with no food, clothes or contact with the outside world, enter sweepstakes from magazines… and hope that he won enough sustenance to survive. (23 minutes)Act Two: Writer Ariel Sabar tells the story of Roger Barker, a psychologist who believed that humans should be studied outside the lab. So Barker dispatched an army of graduate students to follow the children of Oskaloosa, Kansas, and write down every single thing they did. Sabar wrote a book - a Kindle Single - about Roger Barker, called "The Outsider." (8 1/2 minutes)Act Three: Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall were a comedy duo back in the mid-1960s, playing clubs around Los Angeles, when their agent called to tell them he'd landed them the gig of a lifetime: They were going to be on The Ed Sullivan Show. The only problem was that their performance was a total fiasco, for a bunch of reasons, including one they never saw coming. David Segal reports.
