Saluton, estas mi Tyson
Saner welcoming you to Episode 343 of
Succotash, The Comedy Soundast Soundcast! Established 2011
with regular weekly updates since 2020. We've been able to do that
here at Succotash mostly due to the fact that I share
every-other-weekly hosting duties with show creator and executive
producer Marc Hershon who brought you clips
last week in episode 342, from the soundcasts Extra
Nuggets, Hollywood Gold, The Downside, and
also a recent episode of Monster Party on which Mr.
Hershon was a guest. You can find last week's episode along with
our entire archive of episodes over at www.succotashshow.com or, if you are currently
listening to us or have downloaded us from any of the
streaming/downloading platforms from which you could do so —
namely, places like Apple and Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify,
iHeart Radio, Amazon Music and many more…uh…that would work as
well.
This week, I've got clips from the
soundcasts known as Life is Short with Justin Long,
CineNation and High Low with Emrata.
I've also decided to include a classic FAKE advertisement from our longtime FAKE sponsor who does not exist except on paper and in the hearts and minds of listeners. This episode will have posted on Valentine's Day, so I've chosen a special one that…well, you can decide how appropriate it is to the season once you hear it.
CLIPS
Life is Short with Justin Long
I clipped this soundcast previously for Epi273 which dropped
mid-October back in 2021. From the show's description:
"Is
it just me or is time flying by? How do we make the most out of our
short time here on Earth? That’s what we’re here to find out. I’m
Justin Long and I’ve been an actor
for most of my life, so I’m used to getting inside the heads of the
characters I play. But now that I’m getting older (I’m 43 now,
yikes), I want to peek inside the heads of real people to learn how
they find meaning in life. I’m also very curious what their
favorite snack food is, and what emoji they use most often — ya
know, the REALLY important stuff. Every episode I’ll get personal
with all kinds of people, from actors to musicians to deep thinkers
who fascinate me. My brother, Christian, is on hand each episode to keep
me honest, and occasionally remind me about some of the
embarrassing things I’ve done over the years. Join us, or if you
have more important things to do, that’s okay too — life is short!"
I
clipped the episode from January 31st, 2023 with Dave
Franco (Somebody I Used to KNow)and an emoji, the
type of which I will not reveal as it is indicative of a specific
bit of information contained within each interview. Sorry for being
so cryptic, I try to be spoiler-free in specific types of
circumstances involving symbology. TMI? On the show, the guest and
Justin
talk about their mutual love of cats, how he got into acting and
the benefits of working with his wife, Alison Brie.
CineNation
As
described in Apple Podcast's version of a soundcast's liner notes:
"The
CineNation soundcast analyzes the histories and tropes of
film genres and why we love them." The
episode I've clipped is from February 2nd, 2023 - When Harry
Met Sally (1989).
For Episode 250, show hosts Brandon Sparks and Thomas Horton are starting their
Rom-Com series with one of the best of all time. Listen as they
discuss how When Harry Met Sally went from a basic idea to
a classic of the genre.
High Low with
EmRata
The
show practically introduces itself, when you read its description
online: "Hi,
I’m EmRata, aka
Emily Ratajkowski. Maybe you know
me from my work as an actress or model, or maybe you’ve read my
bestselling book, "My Body". I’m interested in marrying everything
high and low brow by talking pop culture and happenings that may
seem frivolous in a way that raises big questions.
On this podcast, I’ll be talking everything from politics,
philosophy, and feminism to sex, TikTok and relationships." Our
clip hails from just a week ago, on
February 6, 2023, and features guest Amber Rose, who - according to show
notes -
rose to prominence through several high profile relationships with
famous rappers, but she has a whole lot more to say than gossip and
rehash their history. On the show they discuss how she has
reclaimed the labels “slut” and “bitch” through her event "Slut
Walk", how she’s raising her sons to respect women, classism,
feminism and racism, and what she wants to see happen with men (and
women!) when it comes to fighting misogyny.
And that's where the clips run out, so welcome to the end of this week's episode. Hey, did you hear that a chunk of the sun "came off"? No, really…it did something like that. I only read the news about it today, and the source was a day old, so…we're still here as of one day later. This episode will have posted about three days from now if the usual set of circumstances has occurred and, the following week, Marc will be back with Episode #344 which I believe will be a "Chats" episode with guest Josh Gilliland, if I remember what was said in Epi342 correctly.
Y'know…between pandemics and natural disasters happening in this lifetime, at this point in time, I could really use a hug. Also, I just saw Encanto for the first time and that was quite an emotional roller coaster…so, yeah…the hug thing. Maybe you aren't the hugging sort…no worries, you do you.
Aside from all of that, the function of this show has alway been to provide the listener with a window into some listening options that they might otherwise never have known they had…So, I hope that I fulfilled that in a way you found interesting in any way, shape, or form, and that, as a result, you might listen again and/or suggest us to others as an option for them to listen to. We would really appreciate that. We do this out of love.
So once again, I've been Tyson Saner wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day, asking you consider visiting www.tysonsaner.com, thanking you for listening, imploring you to be decent to each other, and reminding you to please pass the Succotash!
