Brian Mesko was born into a family of musicians, and raised in Little Rock, AR, Mesko began piano lessons at age 8, moving to guitar at age 10. By 12 he was playing drums, and he picked up the bass at age 14. As a teen Brian was gigging professionally, and even played drums on a short tour in Turkey at age 18. While still in high school he studied Jazz Theory & Ensemble at UALR under Michael Carenbauer (who studied under Pat Metheny at Berklee). Taking these credits on to MTSU, Brian completed a bachelor's degree in Recording Industry. Mesko lived in the Nashville area from 1997 – 2005 and played with such international jazz greats as Les McCann, Tony Monaco, Dr. Lonnie Smith, John Jorgensen and Jeff Coffin. After moving to central Virginia in 2005, Brian has been privileged to work with such jazz artists as Robert Jospe, Butch Taylor, Dane Alderson, John D'earth, Bobby Read, Charles Owens, Jonah Kane-West, Liz Barnes, any many more. Brian formed The Rootdowns organ trio with members of Butcher Brown, DJ Williams Projekt, The Big Payback, and Skydog, and they released their debut album, "Songs With Friends" in 2013. In 2015 he started The Danktet, an instrumental trio whose collective influences create a unique blend of jazz, funk, rock, pop, reggae, blues, and R&B. With Australian native Dane Alderson of the Yellow Jackets on bass, and multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Forrest Young on drums, they released their first album, "One Thing Right" in 2016. Aside from his own original projects, Brian has since joined several local projects, playing guitar and/or bass with the Robert Jospe Express, Lenny Marcus, Terry Brown Ascension Project, The Ambassador, Mojo Parker, Melissa and the Growlers, The Meskos Electric Revue, Jstop Latin Soul and Andrew Winn. Brian currently resides with his wife and son in Roanoke, VA working as a session player, performer, and guitar professor/ensemble director at the University of Lynchburg. Tim Martin started his solo career at the ripe age of 16 playing every Friday and Saturday evening at a restaurant called the Olde Tinker Mill Inn. It was a formal dining area upstairs with a pizza and beer meeting place downstairs. He would play for the diners upstairs during dinner then move downstairs for the later, livelier crowd. Building a song list of artists such as James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, CSN&Y, Eagles, and originals he developed his style. Getting paid 15 dollars a night and free pizza seemed like a good deal to the teenaged Tim. What this job did was help him learn how to be comfortable and entertaining on stage and find what kind of tunes worked with different audiences. 42 years later he is still going strong as ever. Tim has played and still works in clubs, resorts, festivals, concerts, and private functions across southwest Virginia such as The Hotel Roanoke, Wintergreen Resort, Primeland Resort, Snowshow, Greenbrier, Homestead and more. He plays local Roanoke clubs such as The Quarter, Awful Arthurs, Annie Moore's Tavern, Brambleton Deli and more. He has shared the stage and opened for artist such as Savoy Brown, Vern Gosdin, Jonathan Edwards, Ted Nugent, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Little River Band, Southern Culture on The Skids and more. He has released two albums over the years. Real Life Dreamers in 1992 with his duo partner Mark Wilbourn and Wishes in 2000, both all original songs written by Tim.

Today is a special interview episode where we were joined by Lenny Marcus of The FCKRY Podcast who hosts it alongside Leslie Jones - we talk all things podcasting, his history and projects, and more - he's great! Have a good day all! :)
There you are! Right on time. I just got here myself, actually. Yes, it's me, Marc Hershon, creator, executive producer, and your host for this Episode 322 of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. And what does that mean? Our main focus is to shine a favorable light on the world of comedy soundcast – or podcasts, if you insist – usually by playing clips of a variety of shows but sometimes by chatting with fellow soundcasters or other people in the business of show. When I say “we”, that's not the royal “we”, I'm referring to myself and my kindly, well-versed co-host Tyson Saner. Unlike traditional co-hosts, Tyson and I don't often appear together on our episodes. Instead, we've found that we can crank out these shows every week if we divide and conquer the task of listening to soundcasts and clipping out bite-sized segments to share with you. Last week, for example, Tyson was hosting Epi321, entitled “Summer Close-Out Clips” and dealt out a trio of clips from Last Week on Earth with Ben Gleib, Best Friends Back, Alright!, and The Fckry with Leslie Jones and Lenny Marcus. In case you were somewhere last week where soundcasts aren't available, you can still get Episode 321 at a wide array of soundcast distribution points – including Apple & Google Podcasts, Spotify, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Audible, iHeart Radio, PodBay, Podchaser and, of course, always on our homesite at SuccotashShow.com, where you'll find our entire archive of 11 and a half years of shows. As for this week's show, which I'm calling “Interesting Behaviors”, I've got clips from My Neighbors Are Dead, The Doug Stanhope Podcast, Sarah Halstead's Drinking During Business Hours, and Were You Raised By Wolves? This episode is brought to you by our fictitious, non-paying sponsor Henderson's Pants and their seasonally appropriate Leaf Behind Pants. I've also got the TweetSack, where we acknowledge folks that has used our @Succotashshow handle in their socials – during which, by the way, I'll be reading an actual email which we just go in. And there's even a call into our Succotash & Runaway Truck Hotline we'll get to today. CLIPS My Neighbors Are DeadThe last time we checked in with the soundcast called My Neighbors Are Dead was a little over a hundred episodes ago, when Tyson clipped it in Epi219. I actually reviewed the show back in 2017 for the then-Splitsider.com and a quote from my review is STILL up on their homesite at MyNeighborsAreDead.com, where I wrote, “I wish I'd thought of that!” And I do. The brainfever of Adam Peacock, MNAD chats up the lesser known characters from scary movies. He's had a lot of comics and others pop in to voice the horror movie side characters, but recently Patton Oswalt (who I SWEAR I will get in front of the Succotash mics one of these days) was on as truck dispatcher Frank Ludd and his take on one of his company's hapless drivers, Ed, who made the mistake of stopping to pick up a “hippie chick” as he put it, and barely escaped with his life. Our clip covers how part of it went down… Sarah Halstead's Drinking During Business Hours Normally Tyson and I come across the soundcasts we clip pretty much the same way you and people you know might: We scan the scads and scads of shows that are out there and we see what captures our fancy about one show or another. Sometimes it's a familiar name or face, occasionally it's shows that share a similar theme, and often it's a bit of a crap shoot. There are plenty that I've listened to that I just end up not finding a viable clip. Or the sound quality's off. Or whatever. In the case of this next clip, however, it was a comedian buddy of mine, Rich Chassler, and the surprise announcement via his socials that he had proposed to comedian Sarah Halstead. That's when I learned that in addition to soon becoming the future Mrs. Chassler – I don't know if she's actually changing her name – that she's also the host of Sarah Halstead's Drinking During Business Hours. Her usual M.O. on the show is to crack open a bottle of vino and kick back with what she called a ‘diverse line of creatives about their fife's journey, passions, and what might lead them to drink during business hours.” In this case, after having taken a couple week off from dropping new episodes, Sarah is back this week for Episode 47 and her guest is the future Mister Halstead…Rich Chassler. The Doug Stanhope PodcastWe're going to revisit another show and this one we haven't clipped since 2013. It's The Doug Stanhope Show with the titular Doug Stanhope. Truly an original comedy voice, Doug also take a great interest in the folks he talks to and recently for his 499th episode back in August he invited comedian Kristine Levine into his studio, affectionately called the The Funhouse, in Bisbee, Arizona. Entitled “Kristine's Wad of Gum is Cancer”, they get into her bout with and upcoming operation for stomach cancer. Our clip is from early in the show, when Kristine talks about her wait problem and other issues. (There's a GoFundMe for Kristine. And Doug Stanhope has a new audio book out on Audible.com called “No Encore For The Donkey”.) Were You Raised By Wolves?Our last clip this week deals with the idea of etiquette and how to handle yourself mixed company. Hosts Nick Leighton and Leah Bonnema have a virtual grab bag of sticky social situations and they break out some usually pretty practical advice how to deal with stuff. Their episode from last week was called “High Tea, Overcoming Terrible Handwriting, Tipping for Gas in new Jersey, and More”, and the clip I've snipped deals with a few of the finer points of auto etiquette. If you'd like to write to me or my co-host Tyson Saner, it's SO easy! Just email me at m-a-r-c@SuccotashShow.com or Tyson at t-y-s-o-n@SuccotashShow.com and who knows? We may read YOUR email on the show! Remember to catch my partner in soundcasting, Tyson Saner, in this same feed next week for episode 323. Oh, and I almost forgot! I'm appearing on an episode of the Legal Geeks soundcast this week. Not sure when it drops but that's show show with real lawyers, headed up by friend-of-the-Succotash and past guest Josh Gilliland and Jessica Mederson, talking about legal issues that crop up in comic books, movies, and other not-real-world situations. They did an episode about last week's fifth episode of She-Hulk on the Disney Channel when the main character gets sued by her nemesis, Titania, for infringing on the She-Hulk trademark. Since I actually work in the branding business when I'm not clipping soundcasts, I got called in as a kind of “expert witness” as the legal eagles batted that case around. Okay, last thing: The next time you're at the grocery store and you find yourself reaching for the last bottle of Clamato juice at the same time as someone, look ‘em square in the eye and ask: “Have you heard anything good lately?” If their answer is “No”, `won't you please pass the Succotash? — Marc Hershon Other than that, if you find yourself pushing a cart down the aisle in your neighborhood grocery store and a kindly senior citizen is heading your way from the other end of the aisle and stops you to ask, “Have you heard anything good lately?”, won't you please pass the Succotash?

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner. Welcome to Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. I will be your host for the duration of this episode, which happens to be #321…contact, it's the secret, it's the moment when everything happens…and in THIS particular case, it is an episode that will be bringing you clips from other people's soundcasts for you to sample, and perhaps seek more of to listen to over the course of your natural, listening lives… it happens. Last week in Epi320, show creator and executive producer Marc Hershon brought you an episode of Succotash that took on the alternate form of the show known as a "Chats" episode. In that episode, Mr. Hershon welcomed guest Christine Blackburn. Who, in addition to hosting a live show called Story Worthy, and the story-telling game show soundcast Story Smash, has now launched her newest soundcast called My Life in 3 Songs featuring comedians talking about a trio of songs that heavily influenced their life and, often, careers. I really enjoyed listening to that episode, and so might you. It's sill available to listen to thru services such as Apple & Google Podcasts, Soundcloud, Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible.com, iHeart Radio, Podbay, Podchaser, and Stitcher. Of course you can also find it and EVERY episode of Succotash thru it's many iterations over the last 11+ years at www.succotashshow.com. This week, I have a trio of clips of soundcasts for you to consider for future listening. They are from the soundcasts known as Last Week on Earth with Ben Gleib, Best Friends Back, Alright!, and The Fckry with Leslie Jones and Lenny Marcus. It's almost inconceivable to imagine putting together an episode of Succotash without including a classic advertisement from our 100% fake sponsor Henderson's Pants, but it totally could happen one day. (If, for instance, a REAL sponsor would be willing to take us on. … One can dream.) in the meantime, this episode of the show is brought to you by their Picnic Pants! Ok, that's enough preamble from me so without further faffing about… let's get to the clips! CLIPS Last Week on Earth with Ben Gleib From the show description: News. Pop Culture. Politics. Weird stories. EVERYTHING that happened during the last week. Comedian Ben Gleib catches you up on it all, while making fun of basically everything. Some people tell him this podcast is the way they prefer to get the news. He thinks these people are geniuses. Sometimes he's joined by celebrity guests like comedians, actors, politicians, Four-Star Generals, and his parents. But mostly he talks to himself. If you've been in a coma for the last 7 days, this podcast should not be high on your list of things to tackle. Our clip hails from last month, August 13th, 2022, an episode entitled "The New Season Starts Now!" - (The previous episode posted September 2nd, 2021) Ben catches us up on everything since last season. Including his new hour special "The Mad King" which dropped on YouTube Aug 14th! Best Friends Back, Alright! The show's description at Apple Podcasts goes something liek this: "Oh my God, they're back again. Stevie Wynne Levine (Good Mythical Morning with Rhett & Link) and her high school best friend, Neagheen Homaifar, haven't been friends for over fifteen years. Can they rekindle their best friendship through a weekly podcast? Some things never change, and some things do. My clip is from their premier episode that dropped back in March, called "Beyoncé Stole Our Inside Joke." The hosts reconnect after a decade and a half, and set the scene of their best friendship back in 2002 at Grimsley High School in Greensboro, NC. They recount various events that defined their adolescence; from George W. Bush choking on a pretzel, to the release of the film "Holes," to the launch of YouTube. Neagheen tries to decipher the strange things she wrote in Stevie's yearbook. The Fckry with Leslie Jones and Lenny Marcus As this show's homebase Earwolf describes the show: Keeping it 100 is Leslie Jones' mission and any fckry will not be tolerated. Each week Leslie and her co-host, Lenny Marcus, expose the fckry of any given topic and they have a fun time doing it. They interview special guests and answer listener questions. Plus, in the ‘fckry of the week' segment, Leslie and Lenny call out people, places, things or situations. Nothing is off limits and you don't want to miss it." Our selected snippet was harvested from the August 17th episode of this year, entitled "Use Ya MuthaF'ckin' T*****s" w/guest Denita Abernethy Holmes, although our clip takes place before the guest appears. And another episode is in the can and on its way to the archives over at www.succotashshow.com … and pretty much everywhere else one can listen to soundcasts. I do hope you find something interesting and/or funny in the offerings presented to you in this episode. I aim to please. I sometimes feel that the amount of listening to soundcasts that I do, not only for Succotash but also in my everyday life, has had some sort of effect on my brain. The way I process information, perhaps. I could say that I have a lot of practice listening to people talk. I never could have foreseen the amount of active listening that is now a regular part of my existence. I mean, I used to listen to a LOT of music before discovering soundcasts because I also make music occasionally but that's not the same kind of listening, really. There have to be other people that spend as much, or possibly even more, of their time listening to people have conversations that they cannot participate in in real time as I do. I wonder what percentage of listeners of soundcasts experience them the way I have for easily 13 years? Anybody know of any ongoing studies? Seriously, I really want to know. I need to know if I should do less of it in case there is any sort of detrimental effect on my brain as a result. Maybe it's fine. Maybe, in the most general sense, our brains can take it. My ears aren't bleeding yet, so that's gotta count for something, right? Anyway, speaking of listening, thank YOU for doing exactly that. If you liked what you heard, tune in next week for Epi322 in which Marc will bring you whatever he desires to share with you. In the meantime, be decent to each other, go to www.tysonsaner.com to find all my links to the stuff I choose to share with you, and if anyone asks you if you have heard anything interesting lately, and we spring to mind, won't you please pass the Succotash? — Tyson Saner
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 28, 2022 is: devolve dih-VAHLV verb Devolve means "to gradually go from an advanced state to a less advanced state," or "to pass something, such as responsibility or power, from one person or group to another person or group at a lower level of authority." // Over time, the weekly book club meetings devolved into mean-spirited gossip sessions. See the entry > Examples: "'Leslie [Jones] and I talk on the phone all the time, and most of our conversations are us complaining about our lives or the crazy world we live in,' [Lenny] Marcus added. 'It usually just devolves into us cracking each other up.'" — Rashad Grove, Ebony, 1 Aug. 2022 Did you know? Evolve? Check. Revolve? Check. Devolve? Now we're on a roll—literally. All three of these words (and more) evolved from the Latin verb volvere, meaning "to set in a circular course, to cause to roll, to bring round." Latin ēvolvere means "to roll out or away"; Latin revolvere means "to roll back to a starting point"; and Latin dēvolvere means "to roll (something) down." In its earliest uses in the 15th century, devolve was about literally rolling down: it meant "to roll onward or downward." Today the word is typically about a more figurative rolling down, as when an organization devolves power—that is, passes power down—to those at a lower level of authority, or when a deteriorating situation is described as "devolving into chaos." One word, multiple uses. That's just how English rolls.
