Greetings, friend. If this is your first time here, welcome. If you’re a repeat listener, welcome back to Succotash Shut-In, the Comedy Soundcast Stimulus Package. I’m your every-other-weekly host, Marc Hershon, trading places in the Big Chair with Tyson Saner. Did you catch his most recent show, Epi214, last week? He featured slips from three shows: "TalkyBox Podcast", "Facial Recognition Comedy", and "Subterra". You can still catch the episode, either on our homesite or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, the @Laughable app, Google Play, iHeart Radio, and more. THIS, however, is Episode 215. I usually like to come up with some kind of linking theme for the clips I share with you. Last time we were together, in Epi213, I played four Australian-based soundcast clips with the help of Jason McNamara who host the still-on-hiatus Dhead Factor from Canberra, Australia. This time around, I have a quartet of clips from four shows that feature stand-up comedians as the hosts. Okay, maybe that’s not a stretch – there are a LOT of comics doing their own soundcasts these days, particularly in the midst of COBID-19 shutting down comedy clubs and other live venues. But that just means we can do that one-trick pony again sometime. The shows I have in the queue this time around include 2 Dumb 2 Tame with Mia Pinchoff, Lewis Black’s Rantcast, Stop Me If I’ve Heard This with Art Krug and Susan Rice, and Sunday Papers with Greg Fitzsimmons and Mike Gibbons. In addition, this episode of Succotash Shut-In is brought to you by Henderson’s Pants Air-Cooled Culottes and Trumpoetry.com. Hold your earbuds tightly to your ears – I’m about to fill those delicate, pearly shell-like headholes with steaming hot clips! CLIPS 2 Dumb 2 Tame2 Dumb 2 Tame is hosted by comedian Mia Pinchoff. From the homesite notes come this description: “Every episode Mia will attempt to answer a question - a dumb question - because ‘there are no dumb questions’ is the dumbest statement she’s ever heard. There are dumb questions but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be asked. She’ll do the asking so that you don’t have to get judged up the anus for not knowing everything or knowing all the wrong stuff at the wrong time or all the right stuff… never. She’s asked “What was it like watching Indian Matchmaking with my Indian Husband?” Our clip concerns some deep information about her ability to hold super-spicy food. RantcastFamous for his bitingly funny commentary on The Daily Show, Lewis Black Also has traveled the country to deliver the funny. Our clip comes from one of his more recent episodes in which he features a portion of his performance at the Fox Tucson Theater back in February, before this whole mess got serious. Are clip has him riffing with the crowd. Stop Me If I’ve Heard ThisOur next clip comes from a show by two comedians from the Pacific Northwest. Stop Me If I’ve Heard This features Art Krug and Susan Rice. I don’t want to say they’ve been around awhile but I knew from WAY back in the day, when I used to run The Comedy Underground in Seattle in the early 1980’s. In a recent episode they get into what reality looks like in “quarantine time”, how the concept of time is being perceived now, and our clip is from a chunk of their convo where they’re talking about how they cannot believe this is reality. Sunday Papers w/Greg and MikeWant a comic roundup on the week’s news for your ears? Listen no further that Sunday Papers comedian Greg Fitzsimmons and TV writer Mike Gibbons. We’ve been big fans of Greg’s Fitzdog Radio soundcast for years – he’s still doing it, BTW - and Mike was often hanging out there. Now they are taking a breaking by ripping on each other to rip on the news. (Well, there’s still a lot of ripping on each other going on.) The clip we have, from a recent episode, is the two guys ripping on the motorcycle crowd that rolled into Sturgis, South Dakota, with no regard for social distancing. There you go. See? That didn’t hurt a bit. Thanks for stopping by to grab a helping or two. On your way out, if you’d hit the review bar over on Apple Podcasts, I wouldn’t mind a new 5-star review and a writeup if you enjoyed what you’ve heard here. And, until we meet again, please tell your friend and please, pass the Succotash! — Marc Hershon
Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner, your host for this week in soundcast clippery right here on Succotash Shut-In, The Soundcast Stimulus Package. Last week and next week Marc Hershon will have the hosting duties but you're listening to this week's show right now — and here we all are! How have you been? If this is your first time here, WELCOME. If you've listened before, WELCOME BACK. This show I've got great clips coming from soundcasts the likes of TalkyBox, Facial Recognition Comedy, and Subterra. There's also a bit of fake advertising genius from our longtime fake sponsor Henderson's Pants & and selected reading from our other 100% fake sponsor with the 100% real website: TrumPoetry.com. It's a jam-packed more-or-less half-hour heap of audio enrichment so let's get to it before it spoils! CLIPS TalkyBox Podcast TalkyBox Podcast was like 3 or 4 of your best friends (namely hosts Jeremy, Dave and Kate) talking about technology, video games, TV, movies, news, or the zombie apocalypse for an hour. (We say "was" because this clip is from their March 11, 2019 show - the most recent one that is up on Apple Podcasts.) Listen in your car or on the toilet when you should be working. Facial Recognition Comedy FRC founders Fizaa Dosani, Pallavi Gunalan, and Zahra Ali are a group of stand-up comedians who identify as women of Indian, South Asian, or Arab descent. It was founded to dispel the myth that “there can only be one,” as well as to emphasize that “we are not the same person.” Our clip is from just a couple of weeks ago - July 21st, 2020 - an episode entitled, "Birthday Party". The hosts discuss Indian Matchmaking, colorism, details from Mary Trump’s new book, and more! Who submitted themself and their ex for an audition, unbeknownst to the ex? Subterra In this sci-fi, dystopian tale of survival, created by Steve Krueger & Warren Davis, we follow Ace (voiced by Marty Yu) as he scavenges for existence in a massive, underground bunker. An outcast, he’s always on the run from security forces, AI robots, and mutant creatures. Alone in this world, his only desire is to escape Subterra and see the sun for the first time in his life… But what is waiting for him on the surface? Our clip is from June 18th, 2020, Episode 4. DONE! When you listen to this episode you'll know when the show is pretty much — you can tell from the music. Music is a wonderful thing is it not? I make some from time to time but mostly I listen. I listen when I can find the time anyway… when I'm not listening to soundcasts I'm just kind of doing life, you know? It's a relative and completely subjective thing. What I'm saying is, few if any of us actually have the proverbial "time in a bottle" that Jim Croce sung so eloquently about so I take it as a great personal favor when you listen to US here at Succotash Shut-In (formally known as Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast), created and hosted by Marc Hershon who will be hosting next weeks' aural offerings and we'd appreciate it if you found the time to listen to us again. If you like us, please share us with others. We'd also appreciate that. It is exactly what we mean when we gently remind you to "Please… Pass The Succotash". — Tyson Saner
Alright. We aren't the people who need to be listened to at the moment. Well, we will say that JK Rowling is an idiot. After that we just wanna point you to a few friends you should be aware of.

Salaam and good evening to you, as said best – and worst, somehow - by the dude from the beginning of Aladdin. Welcome to the second season of Minefield. We are back from an abundantly long break, and I have returned to my closet, where they cut off your hand if – oh, I’m sorry, I meant to say it’s really hot in here. Those are the words. Tune in to hear my interview with Fizaa Dosani, writer/actress/stand up extraordinaire and first generation Indian-American, as we chat about casting the new Jasmine, fending off dating stereotypes and toxic masculinity, and how representation really matters. For more on Fizaa, look up Facial Recognition Comedy on all your social media.

This episode starts out with something NEW called Maggi & Me Mood Music. Both hosts, Maggi Mayfield and David Earl Waterman set up the show with the music that reflects their mood. Then we meet, comedian and actress, Zahra Ali. Right off the bat, we learn that Zahra and Maggi both grew up in New Jersey. She explains her hustle in Los Angeles and the show she runs called Facial Recognition Comedy before we jump into her #Fave5 songs. She takes us through her upbringing with strick Muslim parents that didn't allow music in the house and how her mom let her sneak it in! She talks about when she first started having crushes, the one band that her family bonded over, how she handled not being allowed to attend school dances/functions, and life as a bicoastal comedian fighting the social norm. If you liked her songs, you can check out all the YTunes Shuffle Song Nuggets on her #Fave5 here. This week, Band Or Bar takes us to Miami, FL. Try and guess along with Zahra and Maggi before clicking the links. Then we wrap up with the story of her First Concert and the Last Concert she went to. Keep up with her stand up and career and follow Zahra on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. If you haven't already, please like and share YTunes Shuffle on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Thank you for listening!
