This week I am joined by a couple of Sacramento Comedy Spot favorites Marco Cabodi and Tella Novella and Hypothechick's Sara Aghamohammadi. We go over our lists of the Top 5 Hair Metal Albums of the 80's. It was a great chat and we seemed to have very similar tastes and were all equally confused as to exactly what is Hair Metal.

Trial, error, more trials, and importing equipment from Spain! All with the goal of reclaiming American light lagers from large multinational conglomerates while giving the people what they want! From their Core Fore, to seasonal brews, to how life as a farmer influenced Bill's plans and techniques, there's a lot to learn, on episode 121 of Barley & Me. Enjoy!

Episode 35 is my very dear friend Tina Jett.  Many folks know Tina through her work at the Sacramento Comedy Spot not just on the stage but all the things she does behind the scenes.  Tina sheds a little light on all she does there and then she sheds a lot of light on all things Disney+.  Yes, Tina is a Disney fan and she has quite the background in all things Disney. I love my Disney+ subscription and Tina was great at giving some insights on what all is fun to watch now and what is coming in the near and not so near future on Disney+.  Please sit back relax and enjoy the latest episode of Comic Talk The Podcast, here we go!  

I had the best time talking to these two dudes.  I've watched both these dudes on stage as improvisers at Sacramento Comedy Spot.  Since then they have both taken a bit of a hiatus from improv but they could not resist the stage.  They are back now and producing their own show at STAB the Forbidden Knowledge Show.I really hope you enjoy the pod as much as I enjoyed talking with them.  Now sit back relax and enjoy the comic talk, here we go!  Oh also check them out on Facebook.

Hello and welcome back to Comic Talk The Podcast!  This show was recorded live at the Sacramento Comedy Spot and features comics David Coleman and Emily Pedersen.  Derek Dozier was behind the boards capturing audio and tweaking lights. I'm really happy with how everything turned out last night.  We had a super fun and supportive crowd.  The comics told great jokes and then sat down with me for a little interview.  We got deep but didn't get too heavy.  I picked these two comics because I know their materiel so well and I really thought it would lend well to our format.  Their sets were great their interviews were honest.  If you made it out to the show last night I thank you!  If you were not able to make it out to the show last night then hopefully we will see you very soon!  Now sit back and enjoy Comic Talk Live From The Sacramento Comedy Spot!!

So this past Thursday night I got to do a Guest Spot on Marcus Mangham and Friends.  Guest Spot usually means 5 minutes and you're taking the bullet.  Taking the bullet means you're going first.  I'm learning all this stuff as I go folks so if I'm messing up on these definitions let a dude know, k?  So like I was saying.  I prepared for the night with the mindset of I'm going first and I'm doing 5 minutes.  Turns out I want second and was given 7.  I am really happy about my set.  I got a few laughs and of course a few silences where I expected laughs.  The crowd was thirsty my friends.  At first they just wanted to laugh by the end of the night some of them  wanted to be a part of the show.  This is comedy man.  You prepare for one thing but you never know how it's going to go and we have to be ready to adapt to the situation.Even though all these jokes I've done several times.  I still forced myself to change at least one tag and left room in my mind to adapt to the crowd and take a riff if I needed to.  I felt good but stiff for the first part.  Once I got really comfortable I was able to remind myself to walk around and use the stage a bit.  But for the most part I was really stationary.  I also tried to tell myself to not roll up the mic chord.  It's a crazy habit and I can't seem to break myself from it.  All this is going on in my head while I'm trying to make strangers laugh.  It's a rush folks.Thursday night was my 99th time up on a stage with a microphone trying to make people laugh.  I'm really proud I was a part of a Danielle Marrs produced show.  The show took place at The Sacramento Comedy Spot, also on the line up were Robert Berry, Aurora Singh, and Mr Drew Shafer.  Marcus Mangham of course headlined and the show was hosted by Mr Chris "Swizz Comedy" Smith.So, here's a short clip of a joke I like to call 8% Battery Life.  Before the show I give a little bit of a set up.  I hope you enjoy and I hope you come coming back for more laughs and what not.  -Peace Ese'-JR

Host Ben Rice discusses the recent lawsuits filed against Sacramento, CA's Track 7 Brewing and Grand Rapids, Michigan's Founders Brewing, as well as the Great Lakes Brewing News "satire" and delves into the sadly-still existent racism, sexism, and homophobia in and around the beer industry. Recently, Barley & Me created a Google Form where parties can submit stories about these issues anonymously. On this episode, he has seven of these stories read by women appearing in the first annual Femme Fest, taking place at the Sacramento Comedy Spot March 29th through the 31st. The saddest part will be how familiar many of these stories sound. Barley & Me is committed to giving voice to these stories, so this Google Form will remain open and anonymous and stories will continue to be shared during "ad breaks" in future episodes.

LiiiVE from the Sacramento Comedy Festival and this story is a WILD one. Slaton and Shefsky are joined by Corky McDonnell and Michelle Petro at the Sacramento Comedy Spot for the story of John Brinkley. Ole Johnny boy wanted to be a doctor, but didn't feel like all that schoolin' and stuff. So, of course, he didn't just become a doctor anyway...he became the most famous doctor in America by pioneering one of the most obscenely shocking medical practices ever to get weirdly popular. Strap in folks, it's a long fall to the bottom.  Special thanks to Chris Reinhold for his work on the story! Check out Corky McDonnell's podcast!  See Michelle Petro in: LADY BUSINESS YOU!

STAB! Was invited to the 4th Annual Sacramento Stand-Up Competition held at our birth-club, the Sacramento Comedy Spot. And how could we possibly refuse? We couldn’t is how, so we didn’t.

So this week we decided to interview a tornado-monsoon on our podcast. The Calm Eddy Crew stopped by to talk to Joe-Joe Louis and myself (Luke Soin). Jason Anderson, Edgar Granados, and Bill Wallis all stopped by and got (more) drunk and talked about so many things. So, so, so many things. We started with Captain EO and ended with plugs, but in the middle there was stuff about business cards, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Spongebob, and Ralphie May. We also talked a lot about their once a month shows Wildcard Comedy at the Sacramento Comedy Spot, and StudiOMG! which takes place after Wildcard inside Edgar's actual studio apartment! This episode gets pretty crazy, but it was a lot of fun, so check it out!  Also sorry for the audio, we had to rig some weird stuff to get everyone mic'd so some people are quieter than others, and it gets echoey as the show goes on.

Happy New Year! It IS me, Marc Hershon, your host and New Year’s baby for 2016. And this is Succotash, The Comedy Podcast Podcast. It’s the first edition of Succotash Clips for this new year, and we have a fine passel of clippage for you. Before we get into the nit and the grit of what’s in store this time around, I thought I’d check in to see how many of you Succotashians are also Resolutionaries. You know, those folk who steadfastly trot out a litany of resolutions for the new year. New leaves that they are bound and determined to turn over this time for sure, only to almost immediately start backsliding furiously on their self-commitments. I tend to go pretty low key and achievable with the resolutionary action, mostly because I know, after being around as long as I have, I’ve got a pretty good idea how low to set the bar in order to clear it. My first resolution is one I’ve been kicking off the past ten years or so with, and that’s to go without regular coffee or any other form of caffeine for one month. I LOVE coffee – its aroma, its flavor and its effects. But I know it’s not all good in term of the way you feel if you miss your morning cup so I’ve taken this step to purge my system of caffeine and its residual cravings for 31 days. Achievable! The other one is exercise. I’m actually pretty good with this one, to the point that this is actually a resolution to continue my exercise regimen, not jump start it. To help out, I’ve signed up for a 10K race in April, so I just need to press a little harder and I should be ready for that.  Achievable! Regarding Succotash, well, I’m just going to shoot for bigger and better this year. I’ve arranged with our friend Shawn Merek to put on the first LIVE epi of Succotash just one month from now. That’s right. Friday night, February 5th, at 6 PM at the Improv Lab on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood. I’m still firming up the details and will have more information for you shortly, but we’ll have some amazing guests and a lot of fun that night. But we’re also aiming to have a lot of fun right NOW. We've got clippage from the Hobcast with Hob the Troll, How To Be Amazing, The Mike Jolitz Show, The New Hollywood Podcast, The Potato Bureau, River City Rant, Royal & Doodall, The Cure, and Victrola!  We, of course, will be looking into the Tweetsack for your tweets and emails. But no Burst O’ Durst this time around. Our friend Will Durst has been off, touring the Bay Area with his Big Fat Year-End Kiss-Off Show. If you need your Fix O' Durst, please visit his website at http://WillDurst.com or check out his tweets @WillDurst on Twitter. (And the Burst will be back next episode!) The Clips How To Be AmazingWe’ve clipped podcasts featuring Michael Ian Black as a host before – like Mike And Tom Eats Snacks and TOPICS. But he’s had a new one out for the past year called How To Be Amazing, where his guests are mostly authors and he picks there brains about their backgrounds, their careers, and how they do what they do so well. I just reviewed his recent two-part interview with author David Sedaris for Huffington Post this past week. Very entertaining and enlightening interview, so I thought we’d pull a nice clip out of it. The New Hollywood PodcastI’ve got a clip from The New Hollywood podcast, hosted by friend-of-Succotash Brian Flaherty. Brian’s been getting some great guests on his show and most recently he chatted it up with Paula Pell, a very funny writer who’s been on-staff at SNL since 1995, produced and wrote on 30 Rock, wrote the screenplay Sisters, which Tina Fey and Amy Poehler starred in, and on and on. In the clip we're featuring, she relates to Brian what her first few days moving out to Los Angeles was like. I’m kinda surprised she survived. Victrola!Another podcast I recently reviewed was Victrola!, which is the namesake of a plucky little troupe from Austin’s Coldtowne Theater. They rolled out a first eight episodes of their monthly show in 2015, and they promise to return for a second season. The shows are all written by and starring Michael Jastroch, Bob McNichol, Bryan Roberts, Lance Gilstrap, Cortnie Jones and Jericho Thorp. In December, they’d dropped a compilation show, with sketches from the first eight epis, and here’s one of them — a riff on Jurassic World. The CureOur next clip was sent in using our direct upload link at http://hightail.com/u/Succotash by Terrell, one-half of the crew at The Cure podcast. He writes: Hey, Thanks for Following @Thecurepodcast on Twitter. We decide to use your service and we already have a intro. However its not 3-5 min long. Its about 2 min hopefully this would suffice. If not we will create another intro next week. Thanks, Terrell I DM’d him back to let him know that  we’re not that keen on playing packaged promos and that we prefer straight up clips, but after listening to what he sent in on behalf of his co-host, Marcus, and himself, I think this works just fine. Royal & DoodallIf you felt a disturbance in The Force the past couple of weeks, that wasn’t the new Star Wars movie opening, it was the return of the Royal & Doodall podcast. After some time away from the mics, Tommy Royal and Angus Doodall are back. Where have they been? What have they been doing? Well, you’ll have to download and subscribe to their podcast for the intimate details but here’s a snippet of R&D banter to give you a taste. HobcastWe haven’t chatted up our friend Hob The Troll lately, the purveyor of The Hobcast. But I do chat with him every so often on Twitter and occasionally on Facebook. That’s how I know about his recent Christmas special. The Hobcast has been a little…off-schedule during 2015, but Hob got it together enough to produce a fun little holiday episode where he placed phone calls to some folks. Some of those people apparently donated money for the opportunity to hear from Hob but this clip doesn’t come from one of those calls… River City RantUploading clips directly to us is not the only way for comedy podcasters to get their stuff on the show, of course. I harvest a bunch of clips myself, our Associate Producer Tyson Saner is busy slicing and dicing clips as well, and you can also email a 3-5 minute MP3 clip into our Tweetsack at marc@SuccotashShow.com. That’s what they did over at the River City Rant podcast and, to prove it, here’s the letter that came with the clip: “Marc, I heard you on Dave's Comedy-a-go-go podcast and you were a great guest. I think your podcast idea is such a unique idea and really helpful to helping others weave thru all that's out there. Our Podcast "River City Rant" is dubbed an irresponsible comedy podcast where we simply just rip on anything and everything, one of our favorite segments we do is called Worst Characters, where two of us throw out voices in an improv format. I hope you enjoy and use this clip as we feel it's one of our best. Thank you, Britt Crumley, River City Recordings Radio, Jacksonville, Florida” Thank you, Britt. Without further ado, here’s a sampling of River City Rant. The Potato BureauOnce upon a time there was a show out of Sacramento, California, called the Van Full of Candy podcast. Fresh episodes stopped showing up in the early months of last year but the guys connected to it – a bunch of sketch and improv performers – have branched out in new and different ways AND other podcasts. We featured a clip from STAB! back in the fall and now here’s a clip from another show called the Potato Bureau. Fun concept – let me read from their iTunes description: The Potato Bureau is a musically-inspired improv podcast, recorded live at the Sacramento Comedy Spot. Every show features a local musician or group performing on stage for the audience. They give the Bureau a few songs and stories, and the Bureau uses those nuggets of inspiration to take you on a (sometimes crazy) audible journey. The cast of the Potato Bureau is  Corky McDonnell, Zach Coles, Tina Jett, Eric Barger, Michell Petro, Molly Doan, and Court Hansen. Here’s a sample of what they sound like in action… The Mike Jolitz ShowWhen I guest on other podcasts, like Dave Nelson’s Comedy A-Go-Go show, I often talk about how one of the shining benefits of the medium of podcasting is that the barrier of entry is so low that pretty much anyone can do it. You just need a mic, something to record with, a smattering of knowledge how to get what you record online, and an idea for the show. A lot of the shows we clip are hosted by comedians or other well-known entertainers and it’s clear some of those production budgets are decently sized. I was recently DM’ing with Mike Jolitz on Twitter and he’s a one-man operation, that podcasting-from-the-kitchen-table model. I’m not sure what the size of his listenership is yet and he’s still feeling his way into his sound. So I thought we’d give him a shout out and play a clip from The Mike Jolitz Show. Here he is, giving his take on the news… That’s going to do it for Epi124 of Succotash Clips. Thanks for listening, or whatever it is you might do while I’m talking and playing clips. Fingers crossed that upcoming Epi 125 is a Succotash Chats show and my guest will hopefully be Michael Ian Black. We’ve never met but we both wrote movies identically titled Wedding Daze. He directed his and mine was on TV, and they both currently have 5.7 stars on IMDB. We’ll talk about that and more so be sure to pass the Succotash! — Marc Hershon  

Better late then never. This is our LIVE Episode from the Sacramento Comedy Festival. All the usual suspects are there, Junior, Leo and our 1 Man House Band Hunter Hill. Hunter sings a couple of his jaunty tunes then Leo does a few minutes of Stand Up. We then turn the stage over to one of Sacramento's most well known Comedian Keith Lowell Jensen. It was a fun filled night. We can't wait till next year.

Matt Raymond returns! When we last had Matt on, he hadn't even been doing stand-up for an entire year yet, but had just won a competition that granted him the opportunity to book at least three shows at the Sacramento Comedy Spot (the site of the competition). Roughly ten months later, he's produced five shows under the Comics With Attitude (CWA) name, and has even started promoting that show at a second venue as well! We talk to Matt about what it's been like becoming a show promoter, and how that's changed his comedy habits. We also delve into the reasoning behind Matt's recent disappearing act from the scene earlier this year. It's a harrowing tale about running from the law, being mentored by a fellow named Cheddar, and befriending a large white man with bad breath named Dragline! Give a listen, and then hit up a CWA show near you! For more on Matt Raymond, check out his Facebook page here.

It's our big 100th episode AND our 1 year anniversary! As fortune would have it, we were able to celebrate these landmarks at the same time at the place that first brought us together, the Sacramento Comedy Spot, in front of a mighty a crowd! Celebrating with us were spoken word poet and radio show host, Jovi Radtke, and stand-up comedian and friend of the show, Johnny Taylor! We also played a little Poetry Idol with Leo, Junior, and our one-man houseband, Hunter Hill, writing and performing a poem, with the crowd deciding the winner! Laughs were uttered, hearts were broken, and a good time was had by all! We'd like to say THANK YOU to the Comedy Spot for allowing us the space and opportunity to host our live show on their stage. THANK YOU to all the beautiful people who attended. THANK YOU to all of our wonderful guests who've joined us on the show. And lastly, THANK YOU to everyone one of you who choose to listen to our show each week! For more Jovi Radtke, check out her website here. For more Johnny Taylor, check out his website here.

The guys discuss the week that was as they prep for their first live podcast at the Sacramento Comedy Spot this Sunday, March 17th!

Des Henderson is not only a comedian, but he's also the long-standing host of the Sacramento Comedy Spot's weekly Sunday night open mic. If you've been doing comedy for any period of time in the capitol city, you've no doubt met him and seen him work. On this episode of the Junior & Leo Show podcast, we get to talk to Des about what it's like to host/mc of an open mic for as long as he has--much longer than seems to be the norm in most cases--as well as getting into how he develops material, what his hopes and aspirations are for his comedy career, and if he worries about his comedy coming back to haunt him in his day job or with family. Junior also tells a story about how Des was the first comedian in Sacramento that he stalked online in attempting to gain the courage to get up on stage for the first time.

Brian Crall, a comedian as well as the owner and operator of the Sacramento Comedy Spot, doesn't know how to do things halfway. His "balls to the wall" approach has taken him from simple sketch comedy and improv performer to small business owner, creating a space where many of Sacramento's most talented performers can ply their trade. The road hasn't been easy, but from the sound of it, it's been incredibly rewarding creatively and emotionally, and after dropping several breaking news bits about the Sac Comedy Spot's future, things are only getting better. During this podcast, we got to talk to Brian about his early days as a comedic performer in the sketch comedy group, "Free Hooch Comedy Troupe." We also learned that while holding down a full time job at the airport, as well as being married with two kids, he would commute to LA to take comedy classes at UCB once a week for a couple of months. All of that and more on this episode of The Junior & Leo Show Podcast.
