It's the Comedy Button 2024 Special, baby! We're back for ONE NIGHT ONLY to infect your ears with a surprise funsies episode. Brian reminisces about clotheslining his siblings into angular furniture, Max makes a very special deposit at the bank, Ryan picks up some healthier hobbies, and Scott discovers his next career as a professional accordionist. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
BRAP BRAP! What's going on, Internet? Oh boy, do we have a story -- it's about a nonsense podcast that has run for nearly the length of a full U.S. primary education (with, come to think of it, pretty equivalent educational standards and pay for the teachers). But now, it is the proverbial graduation ceremony, which means it's time to get day-drunk on hobo liquor one last time with your favorite goofball hosts in this three-hour spectacular. Before we put the button back in cold storage, we get up to the usual stupid shenanigans, reflect on the last 11.5 years, answer a few final listener questions, and hear from our significant others (and yes, someone cries). From the entire Comedy Button cast to everyone who has supported this silly endeavor of ours: Thank you. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Anthony Gallegos, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar, with special appearances from Theresa Altano, Stacey Bromley, and Jenn Scoville.
Kristin declares war on caramel, Ryan tells us about the time he almost died from eating Swedish Fish, Avatar: The Way of Water was apparently just stunningly OK, and our pal Jenn crashes the show to taste-test Valentine's Day candy and participate in perhaps the stupidest anatomical discussion that any human beings have ever had. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar, with special guest Jenn Scoville.
Gadzooks! After more than 11 years of this nonsense horseplay, we're finally putting the ol' button back under the protective glass and pretending to go about our lives as well-respected adults who have it all figured out. Yes, the Comedy Button is coming to a close with episode 551, coming to you at the end of February. We've got all the details right here in this mini-episode, so if you don't want to go through life confused and bewildered about why your usual Friday podcast stopped appearing on the Zune Marketplace or wherever these things go now, give it a listen! Sincerely from your pals, Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
We manage to introduce the show three different times thanks to the dumb Internet turning off. In part 1, Kristin tells us about her new acting career.

Remembering Roy Thode with Special Guests Scott Bromley, John Ceglia, Martin Dow, Bob Howard, Robbie Leslie & Bobby Viteriti interviewed by Marsha Stern The Heartbeat Of The Dance Floor® # 010 I am joined by Scott Bromley, John Ceglia, Martin Dow, Bob Howard, Robbie Leslie & Bobby Viteriti as we gather together to tell stories and remember the genius of Roy Thode, who was an iconic ground-breaking DJ during the heyday of Disco. From his debut in the early-70's until his untimely passing in 1982, Roy left an indelible mark that endures today. Those techniques he employed in his craft of creating a musical journey have translated through time as today's dance music audience enjoys a great many effects that are now made possible through technology that just didn't exist in the analog world of Disco. However more than his technological prowess, Roy Thode is remembered as someone who touched the lives of so many, bringing fond memories to those that were a part of his culture at the time and also bringing a smile to a fresh, new audience of listeners who can experience his unique musical style through the internet. I know that is something that he would be very proud of.
