(Programming Note: Ryan Dolan wanted not only to guest on PopFury but to interview Sammy as well. In the spirit of Yes And, Sammy turned the entire podcast over to Ryan to do with as he wanted...and Ryan proudly presents, The GOAT Show) The Greatest of All Time Podcast Hosts, RYAN DOLAN, interviews the Greatest of All Time Guests, SAMMY TAMIMI, on the Greatest of All Time Podcasts, The GOAT Show! THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME PODCAST HOST QUOTES: “Sammy, why did you waste your life on improv?” “We are the tellers of secrets. So you told no secrets, is that why your life is a failure?” “I’ve never cried on a Chicago bus before, let alone the 36 bus.” “Anyway, so back to your failure of an improv life...” “We’ll get to your career trajectory here in a little bit and see if you have a future or if maybe you need to move to a small town in Utah...” "If you’re not self-loathing and wondering about your existential place in this world...I don’t think you have the depth to be an artist.” “It’s a great book, it’ll make you feel better about yourself reading about all these people who committed suicide.” “So when was the first time you were thrown off a team at iO?” “A lot of big fat guys have succeeded in improv. What happened?” “You have done 150 of these podcasts. Why PopFury, why pop culture and why Chicago improvisors? I mean, seriously, why the last one?” GREATEST OF ALL TIME SHOW NOTES, IMAGES AND LINKS: Greatest of All Time Hosts, Ryan Dolan Full quote from Ray Carney, a Boston University film teacher, in an article in MOVIEMAKER magazine called "The Path of the Artist." He wrote: "Never forget that to be an artist, above everything else, to be a truth-teller, one of the few left in a culture seized in a death grip by media-induced fictions and journalistic clichés. You speak secrets no one else dares to whisper. You exist to share your most private feelings and personal observations with others. They are where truth lies. Don’t be afraid of being too personal, too private. Your most secret fears, your private doubts and uncertainties are everyone’s … My teachers told me that filmmaking was about telling gripping stories. It took me years to realize that that’s not an ambitious enough goal. You can do much more than that. You can give viewers new eyes and ears. You can change their states of awareness so that they see, hear, care, and feel differently. Your work exists to express things too delicate, too fluttering, too multivalent to be said in any other way. You’re doing something much more radical than telling a story. You’re rewiring people’s nervous systems. You’re doing brain surgery. Art gives us more than new facts and ideas; it gives us new powers of perception. … You speak the most subtle language ever created—the language of art—a form of expression more nuanced than verbal language, more complex than a theorem in physics, truer than anything in the newspaper."

Actor, comedian, and musician Jesse Kendall stops by to help Doug and Justin unpack the terrifying phenomenon known as digital kidnapping. Along the way we talk about some of Jesse’s favorite video games and how Doug always accepts the user agreements on the internet without reading the fine print. Jesse uses mind control and gets Doug to talk about who he took to prom and he pontificates on some horrible memories of high school. Doug gives his philosophy on sharing his life on Facebook and then the boys talk about people sharing their boudoir photos online. Things are wrapped up with a throw-down between the Silver Surfer vs Magneto and then a Viking Warrior from the old days vs. a modern day soldier. You can see Jesse perform with the iO Harold team Comet. Check out the link for upcoming performances: http://ioimprov.com/chicago/shows/comet/
