Sona loves snacks, and Conan loves to manically knock them out of her hands. Sona likes to watch TV at her desk, and Conan likes to tell the world what an awful assistant she is. And her new book, The World's Worst Assistant, is an up close and personal look at just this sort of high jinks. A card carrying, native Californian, it is Sona's birthright to love In-N-Out Burger -- and she does! So professional hamburger expert, George Motz, joins the show to do a deep dive on the iconic hamburger chain. Why isn't there an In-N-Out in your town? What does it mean to order your fries Animal Style? Why do the employees smile so much? George tells all! Sona loves chocolate. She eats it every day. And if she doesn't? She gets a headache. Neuroscientist Dr Nicole Avena is an expert on this topic and tells host Rachel Belle why humans are born to be addicted to sugar. Follow along on Instagram! This episode is sponsored by Ooni Pizza Ovens, the world's first portable pizza oven company!

Sona joins us to help give advice on dealing with (possibly) cheap friends, looking for a partner interested in creating a blended family, and surviving a mother-in-law who refuses to wash her hands after being in the restroom.

SONA MOVSESIAN (MOV-SES-SIAN) IS BACK!  Her lockdown haircut didn't put her off coming back to the show, and this time she's allowed inside (with the caveat of many-a-rule). Rick is straight out the gates questioning Sona's ability to NOT spill on the rug and Sona tries to unpack all the rules and fears of our host.  Rick gets a live offer to officiate a wedding (I see a podcast episode in the making) and they discuss having babies.  They manage to get best friend and podcast alum Brent Morin on the phone so Sona can show off her impersonation skills (spoiler alert -- she's impersonating stand up comedians), and Brent gives us a taste of some old stand-up material.  Sona vents about her annoyance with funny people and the way their minds work, and Rick gives us a sneak peek at his new stand-up set.  Our guest gives a TYSO plug for future guests, they dive into Rick's history of bombing, and the episode turns into pure smut beyond this… Its basically poop, pee, penises, cunnalingus and beyond from the half way mark… so hide your children.  This podcast is supported by:  FANDUEL:  sign up with promo code ‘TYSO' to get your first bet RISK-FREE up to ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS and make every moment MORE, this NBA season.

Sona Movsesian is back for her 2.0 episode. This time it’s not just for a good conversation but also a haircut by Rick…Yes an actual salon-style haircut . The two talk about her first appearance being such a success. Dissecting the comments section and why their parents shouldn’t read them and defiantly shouldn’t respond. They attempt to unpack their own rapport and chemistry together and why Rick thinks they always have a good time. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately (smut animation is back) they fall down a rabbit hole of dirty conversation and can’t seem to get back on track. Despite the constant crass topics Sona does manage to analyze her relationship with Conan O’Brien and why she’s lasted so long by his side. Conan sends a message to Rick that he loves. Oh and did we mention Rick cuts off practically all of Sona’s hair...? If you’re listening on the iTunes version we suggest jumping over to youtube for the whole makeover montage (it's longer in that version).

We are Succotash Shut-In, the Soundcast Stimulus Package, which means we’re here to help keep the entire soundcast industry solvent by featuring clips from a variety of comedy soundcasts from around the world. Why? Because even in the face of the literally hundreds of thousands of shows out there in Soundcastland, the numbers have been falling off since this pandemic started – less people commuting to work, working out in gyms, and killing time at their desks with earbuds in to shut out the cacophony of the office. Oh, and sometimes we also do interviews. Who’s “we”? It’s not the royal We, as in me talking about myself in grandiose terms. I AM half of the “we”, namely Marc Hershon, and I host Succotash Shut-In on an every-other-weekly basis. I share these duties with the other half of “we”, Tyson Saner, who just hosted Episode 230, in which he featured snippets from soundcasts Lie Hard With A Vengeance, Kasting Cuzzin, and Review Revue. You can still grab that installment at out homesite, SuccotashShow.com, or from a designated soundcast listening post such as Apple or Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, iHeart Radio, the Laughable app, the list goes on and on. Let’s get down to the business of show, shall we? I’ve been kind of dragging my feet on this one because I’m not sure how it’s going to go over. I’ve got clips from FIVE shows this episode but instead of regular clips – you know, a three to five minute chunk of a show so you can get the flavor of it – I’ve scraped together a bunch of bloopers. Times when things didn’t go quite as planned OR times that we were never intended to hear but they decided to drop the tracks on us anyway. We’ve got bloopers from Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, A Paranormal Chicks, Roll Out!, Who Back When, and Voyage to the Stars. This whole mess is brought to you by our longtime sponsors Hendersons Pants, makers of the new Santa Pants, and Trumpoetry.com. CLIPS Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend First up is a candid slice from one of my favorite soundcasts that I like to listen to pretty much week in and week out, Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend. Great guests, fun chats with Conan, his trust assistant, Sona Movsesian, and the show’s producer Matt Gourley, who is also a past guest and, dare I say, a friend of the show. Maybe, I don’t know if he’d take my call but probably, right? A recent gust was comedian Colin Quinn, was really, really funny. But it seems that Colin is a might tech-challenged and had a hell of a time getting set up to do the interview via Zoom, which most of the show have been resorting to because of the pandemic. So Conan let the audio of the attempts to get things set up roll at the end of the show, and I’ve got some of that for you right here… A Paranormal Chicks I back into this next soundcast, A Paranormal Chicks, by finding a blooper teaser reel of the show floating around on the web. Really didn’t know too much about it before but the two hosts, Donna and Kerri, sound like a lot of fun. The show describes itself as a “true crime and paranormal comedy podcast” – or soundcasts, as we prefer – and that’s their formula: one paranormal story and one true crime story along the way in every episode. But into every soundcast a little havoc must fall, as it did for our plucky hosts the day a cockroach showed up in their studio… Roll Out! If you dig RPGs – AKA role playing games – like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Star Wars, Warhammer, etc., etc., there are a bunch of fun gamecasts out there. Some with people playing games, some with people talking about game play. I’m a particular fan of Brian Posehn’s Nerd Poker and the Critical Role soundcasts but that’s because D&D is my jam. Roll Out! Is another such soundcast where they play an ongoing campaign. Their game is Masks: A New Generation, and it’s a superhero-based world, I believe. Not really that familiar with that particular game. But they’re got a collected set of bloopers out there so I grabbed a sequence of several in a row – completely out of context – but it makes for some pretty entertaining listening. Here are some of the cast of Roll Out! Who Back When If you’re a Doctor Who fan, you may already be clued into Who Back When, a long-running soundcast about all things Who that’s based in England. While they take their Doctors seriously, the current crew on the show  - Marie, Drew, Jim and Leon – clearly have fun since they release a blooper collection for every season of their show. The cluster of boo-boos I have for you are from their fourth season reel and, like so many bloopers, these don’t have a whole lot of context unless you are familiar with the episodes they were cut out of…and, even then, you may not recognize them. Voyage to the Stars The last blooptastic soundcast I have for you is from a very funny sci-fi narrative show called Voyage to the Stars. There’s a whole host of funny-ass people onboard including Colton Dunn, Felicia Day, Kirsten Vangsness, Steve Berg, and friend-of-Succotash Janet Varney. If I remember correctly, there’s a lot of improvisation that happens in this show – in fact, it may be ALL improvised – and when that happens your cast is often likely to paint themselves into a narrative corner with the more details they cook up and then trying to remember everything. So no surprise they have a pile of bloopers saved up – here are just a few… That does it for my great experiment – an episode full of bloopers. A Succotash of succotash, if you will. If you enjoyed it then this IS Succotash Shut-In, the Soundcast Stimulus Package. If you don’t enjoy it, then this is Fresh Air with Terry Gross. That’s going to did it for me until the week after next. My partner-in-clips Tyson Saner is here next week for Epi232. I have to ask Tyson when his next episode of The Anti Social Show is going to drop. That’s another soundcast that Tyson co-hosts, along with Hunter Block, and those fellows had me on as a guest recently and I’m waiting to listen. Final bits of business here. If you are a comedy soundcaster and want to hear your clip on this show, you can either wait until Tyson or I find your show OR you can submit your own damn clip directly to us! You can directly upload a 3-5 minute MP3 clip to us at http://hightail.com/u/Succotash. Include some detail about your show and we’ll pop it into an upcoming episode. Please do us the great favor of rating and reviewing Succotash Shut-In on Apple Podcasts. And follow us on the socials – it’s @SuccotashShow on Insta and Twitter, and we have the Succotash Show Page on Facebook. Other than that, our friend Bill Heywatt has information on how you can reach Tyson and me coming up in the close so I will just implore you, as I often do, if anyone asks if you’re heard any good soundcasts lately, won’t you please pass the Succotash? — Marc Hershon

Saluton and Happy "Things That Are Done at This Time Of Year" to you! Estas mi, your host Tyson Saner, and welcome to the last epi of Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, of 2018.  What a year it has been…and that's at least partially because I took over hosting and main production duties during this year approximately 10 months ago. I hadn't really been thinking about how much time had actually elapsed because it, like everything else seems to just keep happening. It does seem to feel like less time than a year has passed because it has…that's pretty logical…beep boop…  ANYWAY…It's a show chock full of content including clips from Chillpak Hollywood Hour, Just Say Words, 2DudeReview, Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, The Podcast Brothers and Thought Spiral.  In addition, we have a double dose of raging moderate Will Durst's Burst O' Durst. (Incidentally, if you live in or are visiting the San Francisco Bay Area, Durst is ring master for the annual Big Fat Year End Kiss Off Show, a comedy revue of holiday proportions that plays in a different venue around the area starting on Wednesday, December 26. Click over to http://WillDurst.com for details…)  We've also got a very "This Time Of Year-y" Henderson's Pants ad from waaaaay back in 2012 (I think) and, of course, a reading from our most recent sponsor, TrumPoetry.com. SIDEBAR Listeners of past episodes of Succotash might remember the soundcasts Trevor Has Friends and Just Joshin' being featured in episodes 172 and 177, respectively. These are both comedy soundcasts from over at Savage Henry Magazine , a humor magazine produced locally here in Humboldt County. It's a free publication that has been published with regularity since it was first published in 2010. It was founded by Chris Durant, Sarah Godlin, Monica Durant, and Josh Duke. I follow the magazine on Instagram at @savagehenrymagazine and I came across this post from December 16th, 2018: "Monica, (@moneycuz) co-founder of the magazine and the glue that has kept it all together for all these years, is sick. She can use your help if you're in position to do so. She's dealing with liver failure and is facing a transplant. Links to donation sites in comments. Thank you for being a fan of Savage Henry and your support."  It's a modest goal of $10K and if you're wondering about specifics, on the page I just specified there was an update made on December 16th, 2018 which reads: "Wow everyone. I'm am so relieved by the outpouring of help in so many forms. This is a crazy time. A major surgery, a month or more of intensive therapy and monitoring, a year till projected recovery, and a lifetime of medications are daunting goals and having some weight lifted financially is a HUGE COMFORT!!! Thank you." As of December 17th, 2018 they are at 33% of their goal.

They've been doing the show for more than 11 years, week in and week out, engaging in thought-provoking, insightful, and irreverent cultural conversation. Our clip is from recent Epi603, where the gents discuss the death and life of U.S. President George H.W. Bush, the forthcoming film Vice, the live variety stage show Phil produced on his 50th birthday, Dean's efforts to pack up his L.A. abode and his recent Michigan adventures. There's also a plug for their dark comedy The Lady Killers.  P.S. I've seen "The Lady Killers" and it is quite good. We're working on having Dean and Phil on as guests to talk more about The Lady Killers on an upcoming edition of Succotash Chats! Thought Spiral Comedians Andy Kindler (Bob's Burgers, Maron, and a past Succotash guest) and J. Elvis Weinstein (MST3K, Freaks & Geeks) convene weekly to solve the problems of the world but usually end up talking about comedy and various forms of anxiety. Every episode so far has been called "Test Episode Number Something". Our clip hails from their Epi64, a live show from the Improv Lab in Los Angeles, where Andy muses on the pros and cons of singing in public and which musicals he has enjoyed.   Sidenote: The documentary: I Need You To Kill, features comedians Pete Lee, Chad Daniels, and Tom Segura on a comedy tour of China. It turns out that there's a growing comedy scene over there and it's fascinating to see it happening. The documentary was directed by none other than the aforementioned J. Elvis Weinstein. It's currently streaming on Amazon Prime and, assuming you are a fan of comedy and/or documentaries about comedians or just documentaries in general…you could do a lot worse than to check this one out.  The Podcast BrothersFlaw700 and Fresco are two real life brothers who are similar (because they're both Gemini's) but also have different view points. The authentic and entertaining sibling dynamic gets switched up when Kailah King is there, She offers a unique female's perspective. They discuss mainstream hip hop events and relay those events into engaging topics of discussion. This clip is from "Love Is Free", their Epi110 from this past November, and is part of their segment called "Fresh or Fiasco". Just Say WordsThe Just Say Words soundcast covers everything from social Issues, pop culture, and race, to tech, movies, and much more. Hosted by Jae, in Epi239 he talks about voting and has a bunch of random ramblings filled with jokes and much more. Our clip features him detailing how he dealt with his Netflix account being hacked. 2DudeReview The 2DudeReview is a weekly podcast, hosted by Brian Bradley and Chad Hamilton, features Karina Dolehide, and is based on the book, "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." Brian and Chad are longtime friends and lifelong movie geeks who love to talk, at length, about their favorite films. "Each week we watch a movie from the '1001 Movies' list, research the film, then discuss and rate the movie from our perspectives. We pride ourselves on bringing quality content and maybe even a laugh or two in the process." IN November, they talked at length about the movie Jurassic Park — what the hell genre is it, science versus religion versus capitalism, and Chad has the hiccups. Our clip catch the hiccup fit. Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend After 25 years at the Late Night desk, Conan O'Brien realized that the only people at his holiday party are the men and women who work for him. Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, Conan has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that. He's joined on this quest by longtime trusty assistant Sona Movsesian and producer Matt Gourley (Superego, James Bonding.) His very first guest was Will Ferrell. In our clip from that episode 1, Will recounts a long-running "life bit" that involved a costume from a "Smokey and the Bandit" sketch on SNL.  •     •     • And just like that, the last Succotash show of 2018 is drawing to a close. What  a year it has been. I've spent 10 months of it putting together episodes of this show and eight of those 10 months preparing to welcome my wife and I's first child into this world VERY early in 2019. Also, the 16th of this month was my wife and I's 15th wedding anniversary. For those of you who pay attention to this sort of thing, 15 years is the "Crystal" anniversary.  Whaddya want from me, I'm full of tidbits…somewhat like an actual Succotash…  Anyway, 2018 has been the most unique year of my life so far. I have a feeling 2019 is going to top everything on the uniqueness scale...if there is such a thing. On January 1st I have a single dropping. It's a collaboration with Korey Epps who appeared in the Chats episode of Succotash #175. He has an album coming out in early 2019 called "Luv & Liquor" and our collaboration is part of it. It's called "Hope" and it will be available on New Years Day, on Spotify, iTunes/Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, Deezer, Tidal, Napster and Youtube.…so that's happening too.  In closing, thank you to my wife and family for being wonderful and supportive of me all these years. Thank you to Korey Epps for believing in my musical ability enough to collaborate on a music project with me. Thank you to Executive Producer Marc Hershon for keeping the show running for all those years and then deciding that when he was ready to pass the torch to someone that I was the man for the job. Thank you to Will Durst for contributing the very best in Moderate Political Comedy…that's what it's called, isn't it? Thank you to Bill Heywatt for announcing the show and thank you Joe Paulino for making sure Mr. Heywatt is always captured at his best. Thank you Scott Carvey for the Succotash theme music you are hearing in the background.  And, of course, thank YOU the listener …for listening…and for sharing us with others for that is what we mean when we gently implore you to please pass the Succotash! — Tyson Saner
