DATA'S DAD LIVES and that causes a whole lot of problems for our favorite android and the Enterprise. Joining us this week is special guest Craig Calcaterra, a sportswriter who writes at Cup of Coffee, one of the top newsletters on Substack.

Does his surprise appearance in this episode hold any special meaning?

The third in our series of podcasts on famous sayings we think are true but are not: “All I want is for my children to be happy.” Episode NotesThe first reason this saying is wrong is that as it turns out that being happy is less like something you can achieve and more like something you already have by virtue of your innate personality. Wishing that your children should be happy is sort of like wishing that they be tall or beautiful or good in math. They either are or they aren't and sadly there is not much you or they can do about it. Psychologists and social scientists who have researched this topic of human happiness are univocal in their conclusions that happiness is much more like an attribute than an acquisition. We know this to be true by seeing two children from the same loving family with radically different happiness set points. Environment matters but not that much. The psychologist and researcher Alex Michalos succinctly put it, “When it comes to subjective well-being, you don't get a big bang out of the real world.” The amazing discovery from those who investigate happiness is that the things we think matter most in making us happy actually matter least, and the things we think matter least actually matter most: Beautiful people are not happier than not-so-beautiful people. Young people are not happier than old people. Smart people are not happier than intellectually challenged people. Educated people are not happier than uneducated people. So if the things we think will make us happy really don't, what does? It turns out that simple things, prosaic things make us happy. Bread makes us happy. I tell a story about how Bill Paley who ran CBS began every dinner by slowly caressing and eating a roll. He did it because he believed that if he could be thankful for bread, he could more easily remember to be thankful for all his many other blessings of wealth.A good sense of humor makes us happy. Friends obviously make us happy. Volunteering makes us happy, and community makes us happy. There is, of course the cynics who like Spike Mulligan taught in his Las Vegas lounge act, “Money can't buy you happiness, but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.” Henny Youngman said, “What's the use of happiness? It can't buy you money.”I tell the story of an American investment banker trying to convince a South American fisherman that he should go public as an example of the joy of a simple life. The rabbis teach, “Who is rich? The one who is happy with his lot.” I tell the story of an executive vice president of IBM whom I heard speak at his retirement luncheon and there, in front of all the young, eager, and ambitious gaggle of vice presidents he said this, “I know that every one of you in this room want my job and I am going to tell you how you can get it. When my daughter was married I walked her down the aisle. At that moment of my daughter's life I realized that I did not know her favorite color, or the last book she read, or the name of her best friend. I realized that I knew nothing about my daughter. That is the price I paid to get the things I thought would make me happy. So, if you are willing to pay that price, you can have my damn job.” The rabbis teach, “Who is rich? The one who is happy with his lot.” That is the truth. Tommy got Mother Teresa's business card. On it there was no phone number and no address. It just had her name and these words, “Happiness is the natural fruit of duty.”

When you do what you love to do why take a vacation, when your so good at what you do your called a master. Join us for a look at a comic who would be labeled King of the one liners whose rapid fire one line joke telling would turn him in to a legend but like any legend would never forget where he came from and put the people who put him there first.
Meet Henny Youngman, the undisputed "King of the One Liners", who turned the simplest comic style into a career spanning 70 years. From early days writing punchlines for comic postcards to decades as a fixture in clubs and on television talk and variety shows, Henny's style was timeless -- and fast! (He could fit 50 jokes into an eight-minute set.) Plus, Henny coined one of the most recognizable catch phrases in comedy history.

The world is stressful. Let's take a small break from it with some goofy financial planning and financial advisor jokes and see what kinds of lessons we can learn from them. Important Links Website: http://www.yourplanningpros.com Call: 844-707-7381 ----more---- Transcript Of Today's Show: Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Welcome into this week's edition of Plan With The Tax Man, here on the podcast. We're talking about being a couple of jokesters and that's going to be the fun topic this week, because the world of financial stuff is stressful. Heck the world is stressful. So we're going to take a break and do some goofy, fun, financial jokes and advisor jokes. And see what kind of maybe lessons we can actually pull from them as well. So it won't be all fun and games, it will be a little bit serious here as well. Speaker 1: But first let's say hey to, Tony. What's going on, buddy? Tony Mauro: I am good. I'm just kind of trying to get back in the swing of things. As I mentioned after the fourth I'm in the mode of still having this a short week. Speaker 1: Yeah. In a chill mode. Right? Still want to... Tony Mauro: Right. Very relaxed. Speaker 1: That's all right. Nothing wrong with that. Well, like I said, right, the world is stressful enough anyway. So let's have some fun with this, Tony. Basically, I'll tell you the joke. We went and scoured the internet and found some financial jokes or adviser jokes, and then I'll let you kind of just give me your 2 cents on it- Tony Mauro: Sure. Speaker 1: and kind of what you think. Okay? Sound like a plan? Tony Mauro: Sounds good. Speaker 1: All right, let's do it. All right. Here we go. So here's the joke. I'm not normally one to brag about my financial skills, Tony, but my credit card company calls me almost every day to inform me my balance is outstanding. Tony Mauro: Then they probably love you too. But what a lot of people, they confuse, I think, good debt with bad debt. And a lot of advisors, they don't like to have their clients with a lot of debt. Me kind of included. I'm not a big debt guy. Especially if you've done any reading and done any studying, the Dave Ramsey stuff and all that. Speaker 1: Right. Tony Mauro: And getting out and staying out of debt. I do believe that that is a good route. However, obviously debt's a part of our life. And if you use it wisely, especially for large purchases, homes, the car, and whatnot and understand it and try to get out of it as quick as possible, it actually can be a decent thing. Tony Mauro: But we do a lot of talking, clients about debt, because I don't think people understand it very well. And they just accumulate a lot of it, and don't ever make a plan to reduce it or get out of it. Speaker 1: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Right. Tony Mauro: And as soon as they do it's an instant raise. And so, we laugh about it and joke about it, but we've all been there. I mean, everybody's ran up a credit card or more, and got themselves potentially into situations, and some bad cases you see it all the time, where they ran up so much debt, they can't make the minimum payments. Speaker 1: Right. Oh yeah. Tony Mauro: That's horrible. Speaker 1: It's a habit that definitely affects us Americans for sure. Because a lot of times they're really wealthy, right? They're saving money or they're doing things, and they've got more liquidity going on. And the banks that wind up having more disposable income, as of lately been seeing that, rates have stayed down, they're loaning money, things of that nature. And sometimes it's just the temptation to go, "Oh, well, wow. I've been approved for this and I don't really need it. But you know what? We kind of had our eye on this item or that item, so let's just go do it," right? Tony Mauro: Yeah. Speaker 1: And the interest rates are so low or whatever. So you find ways to justify this stuff. And then, before long you're like, "Man, we've got more than we really want to deal with." And as you're getting closer to retirement, well then maybe the joke's on you. Right? Tony Mauro: Well, that's right. Going into retirement, I advise you to try to have as little or no debt if you can, because it's just going to make your lifestyle so much easier to maintain. Speaker 1: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Tony Mauro: And so, around retirement, I mean, I think that's the best move as far as that goes. I think too, and I remember too, when you're young you got to get that first credit card. And it's like, "Wow, this is great." But now, when we talk to clients about debt, is we say, "If you're going to use debt to purchase something, especially if it's not going to last very long, are you okay if the sticker price is, let's say is $800? Are you okay with paying $1,000 for that same item?" And most people will say "No." And then, you start talking about what the interest is going to cost you if you put it on a credit card. That's what you're going to be paying, so. Speaker 1: Right. Tony Mauro: You're not okay when you do it with cash, but you're okay with the credit card. And we've got to try to change their thinking on that a little bit. Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Well, you think about the joke. Right? So that's what we're doing, using that as a catalyst to have a conversation about something. And I think a debt was certainly a good way to take that one. Speaker 1: How about this one? I got another one here for you. This reminds me, this is kind of a one-liner, like Henny Youngman. I know a lot of people may not remember him a long time ago, but he was kind of the king of the one-liners. Right? He would say stuff like, "The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret," so on and so forth. But this kind of sounds like one of his type of lines. Speaker 1: Here's the joke. Why couldn't the advisor get people to buy bonds? Not enough interest. Tony Mauro: Not enough interest. Speaker 1: You can hear the rim shot right there. Tony Mauro: Yeah. And a lot of people don't like bonds, and that is kind of the joke. And they don't pay a lot of interest in today's environment. People who've been around a while, remember those days of the 1980s, when a money market account was paying 9%. Speaker 1: Right. Tony Mauro: And those have trickled down with inflation being low, and they just aren't able to get that type of interest anymore, pretty much on anything. But that doesn't mean bonds don't have a place in your portfolio. Speaker 1: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Tony Mauro: Especially as you get towards retirement and whatnot, and you're not really seeking to bring in capital appreciation. You're really looking for return of principal, and then that income that hopefully you can't out live. Speaker 1: Right. Yeah. Tony Mauro: So bonds do have their place, and especially in the accumulation phase, probably not the best idea for most, depending on your appetite for risk. But for some people that's all they can stomach as far as risk, and that's why they're out there. Speaker 1: Yeah. Have you seen that recently? Where people are like, "Hey, I'm not interested in bonds, because the rates are so low." Tony Mauro: I've seen that, when the market's going crazy, the stock market that is, everybody wants to be kind of, so to speak where the action is. Well, gosh. Speaker 1: Right. Yeah. Tony Mauro: They read it on the internet that some guy's doing this or that. And so yeah, I do get a lot of that. Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Now this next one here I've got, Tony, sounds a little bit like a Groucho Marx-ism. So we'll do this one here. This one's pretty funny too. Speaker 1: I'm not saying my financial advisor was bad at his job, but when I went into his office and asked him to check my balance, he tried to push me over. Tony Mauro: That's a good one. Speaker 1: As somebody who has vertigo that's really hilarious to me. Tony Mauro: Yeah. Speaker 1: Because I'm dizzy on a regular basis, so I could totally see that and just die laughing. Tony Mauro: We talk a lot to clients about keeping some sort of balance in their portfolio- Speaker 1: Right. Tony Mauro: A little bit. And many times when clients first come to us, I mean, they don't have any balance. Meaning that generally they'll have, let's say in their IRA or their 401k, and they're 55, 58 years old, and they have all of their money either in, maybe this is just an example, their own company's stock or one very narrow invested fund. In other words, almost a sector fund of some international fund type of thing. So they don't have diversification. Tony Mauro: And so, we try to talk to them about that and, "You might want to diversify because generally speaking it's the best way to go over the long term. And so, by having those concentrations, yes, you are going to pick up some gains when that area is doing well. But boy, when it's not, you really suffer." Speaker 1: Yeah. Tony Mauro: And so, try to instill something in them to just start thinking about that. Speaker 1: Well, talking about balance, and this next joke here actually kind of goes towards the question I was thinking about asking you the last time we talked and I totally forgot it. So it's kind of fortunate that it wound up being on here. But here's the joke. Speaker 1: What's another name for a long term investment? A failed short-term investment. Right? Tony Mauro: A failed short-term investment. Yeah. Speaker 1: Is there such a thing, Tony, as a short-term investment in retirement planning, or is it always the long-term people are looking for? Tony Mauro: Well, I think the people we've talked to, they're always looking to make money in the short-term, and we try to force them to think long-term. But I do think there's such things as short-term investments. Speaker 1: Okay. Tony Mauro: I don't think, I mean, it might have some place in a person's retirement plan. I mean, obviously as things come in and out of a favor you're changing things up, so it might be a short-term investment. But I don't think it's necessarily because it's a failed investment. It might just be because your goals change and you need to have something else- Speaker 1: Right. Tony Mauro: type of thing. But I think most people think short-term in their retirement. And they don't think that if they can't get X amount percent in a certain period of sometimes days, instead of years, they think it's a failed investment. Speaker 1: Okay. Tony Mauro: And we try to tell them, "That's not the case. We need a long term approach here." Speaker 1: Right. Tony Mauro: And I think they got to remain that. But again, I think that's a product though of too much news. Speaker 1: Yeah. Being short sighted and too much news. Yeah, I think that's a very fair point. Because when you see something, and we're like, "Oh, well this is happening or that's happening," or, "We've got to get in on this or out on that," or whatever the case might be. And we don't really stick with the plan that we've started working on. Speaker 1: And I get if the plan starts to seem like it's going awry, it makes you nervous, and you want to... maybe the immediate thought is to make a knee jerk reaction and change it. Tony Mauro: Yes. Speaker 1: But that might not be really what you need. You need to evaluate and take a look first. Because often, especially financially speaking, right, that when we make these reactions, we wind up kind of regretting that after the fact. It's not like you've got a plan together to use this bucket to haul up some fish or something. And the fish just aren't jumping in the bucket, and you got to come up with a new plan. Right? It's not like you're going to starve to death because of that. But you are going to have to work through it and try to figure out a good way to analyze, is it really the right time to change that plan, talk to the advisor, or am I just being nervous? Tony Mauro: Yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. So speaking of nerves. Let's do this one. Here's the joke. Why was the client sleeping like a baby when the stock market crashed? Well, he woke up every hour and cried just like a baby. Tony Mauro: Just like a baby. Well, a lot of times, especially when the market's going good, like it has been here lately. We get all kinds. People that meet with us first time, they are afraid. They get stressed out because again, they watch a lot of TV and whatnot. They think the market's too high, they're stressed out. They think that we need to get out or they need to get out. Tony Mauro: Others come and say, "I've never been in the market. Everybody's talking about it. I think it's time for me," but they're stressed out too, because they don't have any idea as to what they need to be doing. And they just think that, sometimes they can just go buy some equities and all of a sudden make a lot of money. And that's not the case a lot of times. Tony Mauro: So I think that people get stressed out about it. But like you were talking about earlier, as long as you've got a long-term plan. And that's what we do with them, is we've got to have a plan. People just come and say, "Well, I want to buy some equities." I mean, for us, we're not the advisors for them. We want to plan, we want to know what's going on, and why you're putting money away, and things like that, versus just kind of trading. Speaker 1: Yeah. It's got to have a purpose. Tony Mauro: Got to have a purpose. Speaker 1: Yep. Okay. All right. Final one this week here on the podcast. Here's the joke. I've just got some great news from my financial advisor. He told me I could retire at 64, and live comfortably for an hour. Tony Mauro: Yeah, right. Speaker 1: Right. Nobody wants this. Right? We want to make sure we can get to retirement and stay retired. Tony Mauro: And stay retired. And yeah, if you're coming to an advisor at 64 or 65, and have not planned, there's some things you can do. But more than likely, you're going to have to continue to work if it's possible, depending on what type of lifestyle you're looking for and what level of comfortability. But the best way to prevent this of course, is to plan. Plan early, and keep it going. And that way you won't have this type of thing. Tony Mauro: And every, I don't know, two to five years, especially as you get into your 50's, I'm all already doing it, is I like to take a look at my own portfolio. And say, "All right, I've got this much time left. Assuming a reasonable rate of return and how much I'm putting in, what am I going to have as my nest egg? And will that last me the rest of my life once I decide to call it quits?" And that's what you have to do. You can't certainly just wait until the end and hope. Speaker 1: Certainly not. And Tony, I imagine, well, typically that's the number one question. Right? Somebody probably comes in and they sit down with you for the first time or whatever. And they're like, "Hey, here's what I'd like to accomplish when I get to retirement, or, "I want to retire by this age or whatever. Now, how do you keep me there?" Right. And they want you to now walk them through how to build that structure, so that once we get there, we can stay there. Tony Mauro: That's right. And luckily for us as advisors now with the software being so good, you can run scenarios very easily and let the software do all the heavy math lifting. And show a client, "Based on this, is what you have now. And this is when you want to retire, if you want to either take principle or just live off of the earnings." Speaker 1: Right. Tony Mauro: "Based on market conditions, this is how long your money will last you." And I like some of the software, the reports they spit out now of saying, "There's an 85% chance, or a 50% chance you won't run out of money," type thing. And people like to see, "Well, gosh, I want to be up there in 85-90%. Even if I live to 100, I'm not going to run out of money," type of percentages. You get down there in the below 50%, and they're like, "Okay. Well, what do we need to do?" Speaker 1: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Tony Mauro: "We have to fix it." Speaker 1: Yeah. Tony Mauro: And there are ways to fix it, but it may not be that pleasant, depending on how long you've waited to get started. Meaning that the longer you wait the more you're going to have to set aside to reach goals, or you've got to change the goals. Speaker 1: Right. Exactly. Well, you know what? We don't want to be the joke. Right? We want to be the brunt of the joke for sure when it comes to retirement. So do yourself and your retirement a favor and have a conversation, and get started to Tony's point, take some action and go through some conversations and some pieces. And if you're not doing that, reach out to a qualified professional, like Tony here on the podcast. Speaker 1: 844-707-7381 is the number to call. And of course, as always, you can just subscribe or follow, and find all the information that you really need. The easiest way to do it is just to go to Tony's website, yourplanningpros.com. That's yourplanningpros.com. Speaker 1: If you're already working with Tony, but you listen to the podcast on the regular, make sure you share it with folks who might benefit from that message as well. You can do a little share link right there on the webpage, if it's Spotify or Apple or Google or whatever you like, all those social media things, give us options to share those with friends and family.

Speaker 1: All right, Tony, thanks for hanging out with me. I guess we'll both go back to work and do some more stuff. And hope you have a great week. Tony Mauro: All right. Thank you. Talk to you soon. Speaker 1: Yeah, well talk next time here. We are going to be firmly into July for our next episode, so should be nice and hot as well. It's already been fairly hot.

Dead bodies don't just grow on trees, though they do occasionally appear inside of them. Well, at least once...in the U.K. This week we're taking a trip to mid-century England to explore the curious case of Bella and the Wych Elm. Tl;dr - some kids find a dead body in the forest (Stand By Me style), only this body was inside the hollow of a dead tree. How did she get there? Was this murder? Was black magic involved? We hop across the pond and go all Sherlock to find out who put Bella in the Wych Elm. Plus, Kyle gets a humor upgrade (the use of the word "upgrade" there is debatable). Kyle also channels his inner Henny Youngman (likely related to the first point). And we figure out a way to get Conspiracy Bot to leave at anytime (also related). All of that and more on the podcast that's never found a dead body in the woods, but we did eat cherry flavored Pez with Jerry O'Connell once - Hysteria 51.

Iconic comedian Louie Anderson, a three-time Emmy Award® winner, is one of the country’s most recognized and adored comics, named by Comedy Central as “One of 100 Greatest Stand-Up Comedians of All Time.” His career has spanned more than 30 years. He is a best-selling author, star of his own standup specials and sitcoms and he continues to tour the country performing to standing-room-only crowds worldwide.In 2016 Anderson was cast to co-star along with Zach Galifianakis and Martha Kelly in the hit FX comedy series Baskets. Anderson plays the extraordinary role of “Christine,” the matriarch of the Baskets clan. He based the character on his mother and his five sisters who were all a major presence in his life. Anderson won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and a Critics’ Choice award for Best Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series for his role as “Christine Baskets” in 2016 and received a second Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series nomination for the role in 2017.“I’m not as nice in the character as my mom was as a person. It really is an extension of my mom,” Anderson says, adding that he always aims to make his performance “as real as possible” without affecting or cartooning it up. “It felt like it was divine intervention when I got the call to be on the show… that somehow my mom, from the great beyond, was finally getting herself into show business where she truly belonged in the first place.”Sharing the ups and downs of his childhood experiences as one of eleven children in Minnesota, Anderson crafted comedy routines that rang true for his early club audiences while reducing them to helpless fits of laughter, routines that led him from his career as a counselor to troubled children to the first-place trophy at the 1981 Midwest Comedy Competition. Henny Youngman, who hosted the competition, recognized the diamond-in-the-rough genius of the young comic and hired him as a writer, providing invaluable experience that soon put Anderson in his own spotlight on comedy stages all over the country.Johnny Carson, the comedy icon for generations of rising stars, invited Anderson to make his national television debut on the The Tonight Show in 1984 and the rest is history. Appearances with Jay Leno, David Letterman and on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Comic Relief, Showtime and HBO specials followed. He hosted the legendary game show Family Feud making Anderson a household name and opening doors for him as an actor.Anderson has guest starred in sitcoms like Grace Under Fire and dramas like Touched by an Angel and Chicago Hope. He has had memorable featured roles in film comedies like Coming to America opposite Eddie Murphy, and the classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. In 2013 he took a dive on the ABC reality series Splash where he conquered his own fears while becoming an inspiration of hope. His standup special Big Baby Boomer premiered on CMT in 2013.In 1995 Anderson put his creative energies to work on the Saturday morning animated series Life with Louie. The long-running series based on Anderson’s own childhood and his life with his father won three Humanitas Prizes for writing on a children’s’ animated series, making him the only three-time recipient of this award. The series was nominated for Outstanding Special Class Animated Program and Anderson won two Emmys for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program.His best-selling books include Dear Dad – Letters From An Adult Child, a collection of alternately touching and outrageous letters from Anderson to his late father, Goodbye Jumbo…Hello Cruel World, self-help for those who struggle with self-esteem issues and The F Word, How To Survive Your Family.Louie’s most recent book, Hey Mom (April 2018 Simon and Shuster) combines wry wit and poignant humor while sharing his journey of turning life’s challenges into joy as well as plenty of wisdom he’s gained from his late mother.Anderson has been channeling his beloved mom in his iconic stand-up comedy for decades—but she passed away before getting to see him reach new heights and win an Emmy for his breakout role playing her on Baskets. Hey Mom is Anderson’s way of catching her up on everything that has been going on in his life, including his continued struggles with food, drugs, gambling, depression and the recent spotlight for his role as Christine Baskets. Hey Mom also has plenty of laugh-out-loud stories about his incredibly resilient mother and his ten siblings.When not in production Anderson continues to tour, traveling the States doing what he loves to do: Stand-Up Comedy. Anderson again delivers to his fans his inimitable brand of humor and warmth.
comedian, Mike Rowe on the show. We have two degrees all over the place and yet our lives had barely intersected. I wanted to know everything about this funny, successful man who's worked steadily and passionately doing what he loves throughout his life to the present. Mike's got two shows currently running on Netflix, The Trailer Park Boys, where he was nominated for two Gemini Awards, and Paradise PD, which is in its 3rd season. Futurama's available on Hulu. How many writers/producers have all that going on at once when there isn't a pandemic. We talked early discovery of the funny, the comedians who influenced him... gigging at NASA and almost choosing that, doing sometimes a dozen standup sets in a night up and down New York's Upper West Side back in the heyday, hysterical young Larry David stuff, he did a great Dangerfield, with a surprise ending, a heart-warming Henny Youngman story, shifting gears to sitcom writing, a funny early George Clooney incident, a crappy Kenny G tale, happy days on Coach, not so much on Becker and 2 Broke Girls, segueing into animated TV, Matt Groening making him the cool dad, Futurama making everything possible, digging in and digging it all up for his wonderfully written, heartfelt, exceedingly entertaining memoir, A Funny Thing: How The Professional; Comedy Business Made Me Fat and Bald. https://amzn.to/3fS5Guz I'm loving it!

Stillwell is best known as the producer of Advertising Week, the world’s largest advertising / marketing / media industry summit. The Week is conducted in New York City, London, Tokyo, Sydney and Mexico City and launches in Africa in 2019. Under Scheckner’s leadership, which dates back to 2004, the B2B event has evolved into a vibrant, global tent-pole event and is the world’s pre-eminent annual platform uniting the ad tech, brand/client, creative, marketing and media communities. Scheckner’s signature recipe of blending thought leadership with one-of-a-kind evening experiences for the entire industry ecosystem propels Advertising Week. The annual festival-style event is now in year fifteen (15) in the USA, going into year seven (7) in Europe, year three (3) in Tokyo and just a few months ago launched successfully in Mexico City and Sydney. Planning is well underway to launch in Africa in 2019 and Advertising Week’s related year-round content initiatives, notable AW360, continue to grow.Stillwell’s origin is derived from Coney Island. For 20+ years, on the historic corner of Surf and Stillwell Avenues, Stillwell has produced the annual Nathan’s 4th of July Hot Dog Eating Contest and ESPN broadcast. Scheckner has served on the Board of Governors of the Friars Club and stands alongside such luminaries as Milton Berle, Frank Sinatra, Ed Sullivan, and Henny Youngman, as winner of the “Friar of the Year” - - a distinction he was awarded by his fellow Friars in 2011. He is active with many causes, including the launch of War Child in the United States, Comic Relief UK, London’s Roundhouse and Tuesday’s Children, which honored Scheckner as their 2013 Gala Honoree. Scheckner also served as Chairman of the World Trade Center Memorial Communications Advisory Council and led a public campaign that generated $300 million towards construction and completion of the World Trade Center Memorial. From 2006-2008, Scheckner served as Consigliere at Yahoo!, where he produced the industry’s first digital Upfront, “Broadband on Broadway” in 2007 and managed the corporation’s relationships with Madison Avenue. He also conceived and produced major corporate experiential programs around the world - - from Cannes to Pebble Beach - - and led the company’s support of the Tribeca Film Festival, an early harbinger of the modern-day explosion of creative content streaming on the web. For more than a decade (1995-2006), Scheckner owned and ran Empire Sports & Entertainment, a New York City-based marketing and strategic consulting firm. One of Empire’s largest clients was Radio City Productions. Under Scheckner’s direction, Empire produced major events outside the Music Hall including the 1997 opening of Arthur Ashe Stadium, Pepsi’s 1999 Centennial Celebration, which featured Ray Charles, Riverdance and the Rolling Stones and several Super Bowl Halftimes. Scheckner also played a central role in shaping the Music Hall’s overall strategic plan including its acquisition by Madison Square Garden and landmark renovation in the year 2000. Empire also served as SFX’s marketing agency developing strategies to secure more than $200 million in sponsorship across SFX’s live sports and entertainment properties. The company also partnered with Ken Sunshine and the Nashville-based Opryland to produce “Always . . . Patsy Cline” Off-Broadway. The show ran for a year at the Variety Arts Theater.

GamerDude developed his sense of humor at a young age as he listened to comedians and comedy albums on his record player as far back as he can remember. He learned the secret of comedy (timing), and learned how to tell a good story, and tell it in a funny way, by listening to some of the old school masters of the craft. He talks about listening to Bill Cosby, who, long before he was convicted of some pretty horrible abuses, was nevertheless a master story teller. He talks about some of his other favorites, from the rapid-fire one-liners of Henny Youngman and Rodney Dangerfield to the carefully crafted and perfectly timed stories of Bob Newhart and Shelley Berman. He also talks about George Carlin and his evolution from the days of the Hippy Dippy Weatherman to the comic who did the routine about the Seven Words You Can't Say On Television. GamerDude also remembers one of his favorite comedy albums by Albert Brooks - Comedy Minus One. He describes the unique comedy sketch built into the album by Albert Brooks, where the listener would actually perform the sketch with Albert Brooks, and how he spent hours rehearsing the sketch to perform it for his parents. GamerDude didn't care that it was classic corniness; he just liked the opportunity to "perform" the sketch. (The script for the sketch - and the sketch from the album itself - are available here; you can judge the corniness factor for yourself.)
In this episode of the Tony Sandler Podcast, Tony describes what made Capitol Records the premiere recording studio of its time, and how their first hit opened doors that were previously closed for Sandler & Young. Tony describes his days with Andy Williams, Dinah Shore, Henny Youngman and Milton Berle (and what it said on the back of Milton's robe!).
In life, we spend too much time trying to think of stuff, and it's a pointless question. But with Booyah, it's all curiosity and jokes and stories. And on this episode, water go down the hooooole in one of the most memorable pieces of animation from our 90s childhoods. Plus, Bad Lieutenant, pretentious Madonna, still-evil Bush, and self-reflexive toons. booyahpodcast@gmail.com // 857-626-6924
It’s the birthday of comedian Henny Youngman (1906), whose one-liners included, "I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places."
My brother Steve and I sit down and talk about the comedians we enjoyed as kids, mostly on "The Ed Sullivan Show," like Jackie Vernon, Myron Cohen and Henny Youngman. We also talk about discovering "new" comics like Richard Pryor and George Carlin and more contemporary comics such as Brian Regan and Mike Birbiglia.
With the world feeling like it's spinning out of control, with a new crisis happening every day at a speed beyond our ability to process, humor may be the only thing that can get us through. For this holiday weekend, WhoWhatWhy's Jeff Schechtman sits down with Chicago comic and professor Al Gini to talk about humor, satire and why we need both to fend off our fear of the world. Certainly there is no algorithm for what's funny. Time, place, context, language and audience all matter a lot. But what's clear is that humor is an essential part of the human experience, and vital for coping with the daily onslaught of the unthinkable and unimaginable. Gini and Schechtman talk about the evolution of humor. From the simple jokes of Henny Youngman and the early satire of Will Rogers to the more sophisticated satire of Mort Sahl, Lenny Bruce and today, Jon Stewart. Gini reminds us that we need satire in order not to die of the truth. Also, when very little seems to bind us together anymore, even the right and left can sometimes bond over the same punchline. At the very least, the primal aspect of humor might help get us through the holidays.
Today I talk with comedian Louie Anderson, who won an Emmy for his role as "Christine" on BASKETS, and Martha Kelly, who plays the brilliantly deadpan "Martha" on BASKETS. Louie talks about starting out as a joke writer for the king of the one liners - Henny Youngman, coming up as a young comedian in the heyday of the legendary Comedy Store, and getting his big break on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, plus Louie reveals which of his family members inspired his chactacter "Christine" on BASKETS. Martha Kelly talks about coming up in the Austin comedy scene, and how her BASKETS co-star Zach Galifianakis and Jonathan Krisel convinced her to take the role of "Martha." Then BASKETS show-runner, executive producer, and director Jonathan Krisel talks about why he often prefers to work with non-actors, how the show got past the audience's preconceived expectations, and what it's like working with his co-creators Zach Galifianakis and Louis C.K. on BASKETS and his co-creators Fred Armisen and Carry Brownstein on his other show Portlandia. Season 2 of BASKETS premieres tonight at 10/9C on FX. For more information including bonus content, behind the scenes footage and cast and crew interviews, visit www.FXNetworks.com.
