Who Are These Podcasts?Show Notes
This week we’re checking in on Kathy Griffin who actually has a weekly video podcast. Of all the people who you’d think would have an audio-only show, Kathy’s on the top of the list. She is still fighting a battle against Donald Trump that our president is unaware is happening. She was on broadway performing in some play that totally bombed and got to take a private jet back to LA with Rosie O’Donnell. If I could sum this up in one word it would be “insufferable.”
A listener mailed in Artie Fletcher’s stand up “special” on DVD. Artie is able to squeeze so many hack bits in it’s almost impressive. Adam Busch has a supercut that really proves Kevin Brennan has morphed into a bitter hasbeen who is almost identical to Stuttering John. Jerry Banfield is critical of our critiques. Hopefully he listens to us this time because he’s about to make the same mistake that put him $600k in debt in the past. Opie is trying the reverse psychology beg that got him to his goal last week. The problem is, there just aren’t enough people watching to make this work. Steel Toe is trying to turn not allowing me on his show into a win. No one is buying it because it doesn’t make any sense. Megan joins us for another Aaron Imholte “Gay Thoughts,” a round of “Is It Gay?” and Simon’s “Opie or Burr” game. We finish with Spotify comments and your voicemails.

Kevin Brennan claims to still be in SAG and paying his dues. Adam Busch doesn’t think this is possibly true; he’s not even sure that KB is paying his taxes. Chad Zumock filmed his special over three nights and never told any of his supporters or producers. He promised all of them tickets to the show and instead recorded it while opening for Jim Florentine. Then he has the balls to call out Patrick Melton’s GoFundMe.
We’re officially celebrating Jocktober with Philadelphia’s “The Preston & Steve Show.” These guys have had a morning show for decades and are mostly pretty buttoned up. Unfortunately Marisa stinks, can’t hit the right drops, or know anything about anything.
Helga Mann is back with a new pilot episode of That Reality Show from her new place in the desert. She’s out of practice. And speaking of out of practice, Stuttering John has been recording some new cameos. He announces that he’s coming back to show business. We’re here when you’re ready, John.
Laura Clery is an extremely successful social media personality. She and her husband were both rich and famous. But they are also both crazy and have completely fucked up their lives. Somehow, after doing everything he could do to ruin Laura’s life, they have gotten back together for a podcast episode this week. The stories are pretty wild.
After playing Big Jay talking WATP on Legion of Skanks, we get right into Stand Up For Standup. This might be the dumbest "cause" you've ever heard of. Comics who aren't very good aren't getting a payday for things they did long ago after collecting money for years.
