Succotash Clips Epi181: Hallowanksgivin' It Up!
Nov 11, 2018
Saluton,
estas mi Tyson Saner, your host for this
seasonally appropriate episode of Succotash, The Comedy
Soundcast Soundcast — Hallowanksgiving addition! Yes, it's
that special time situated perineum-esquely between Halloween and
Thanksgiving. The mid-terms have come and gone and hoo boy, ghosts
and turkeys everywhere! Comedy and conversations become
essential, people have those conversations, record them and release
them as comedy soundcasts...
How do you find comedy soundcasts? You turn right at
Greenland...But seriously folks, it wouldn't be a Hallowanksgiving
episode without a turkey of a joke...or two. Also, the punchline of
that joke is from "A Hard Day's Night" which I AM NOT
plagiarizing...I'm merely pointing out that the punchline is
arguably funnier in context...and of course, that's completely
subjective. And, as I am fond of saying...so is Comedy.
I'm
calling that joke a turkey because I wanted to mention Turkey
again. I'm hungry, ok? I'd have turkey off the bone 20 times
a year if it were convenient to do so. I already use ground turkey
for taco meat and I'll — more occasionally than I would like, mind
you — enjoy strips of turkey bacon flaked into a nice pea soup
instead of ham. Pea soup is awesome, and fiber is even more
important than a sense of humor. Believe me,
kids.
SO, How do you find comedy soundcasts? I find them by going to places like Stitcher, iTunes, Soundcloud, Podbay and Laughable.
Laughable actually recommends soundcasts to me based on comedians I'm looking for and has featured comedians that are suggested when I am browsing the app. At least one of the soundcasts featured in this episode was recommended to me by the app and because of the sheer amount of listening to comedy soundcasts I do I really appreciate the suggestions that the app gives me.
I also find soundcasts by listening to soundcasts and the commercials for other soundcasts that might be heard before, mid, and after the main content of soundcasts from certain networks. That's one of the reasons you'll hear soundcasts from the Earwolf network, Starburns Audio, and All Things Comedy so often.
I also try to feature shows that feature people whose names I had not read or heard of before my searching for potential clip material brought their existence to my attention.
So
again...how do YOU find comedy soundcasts? No rush to
respond, just think about it for a bit and get back to me. In the
meantime, we've got clips from: Screams and Moans Returns,
Get Up On This, The Aggy Fox and Dana Podcast,
Never Seen It, Fat Pig, and The Boogie
Monster...
We've also loaded the show with two timely Bursts O' Durst
with political comedian and social commentator Will
Durst. We playback a call that came into the Succotash
Hotline this week. (THAT number, BTW, is 1 (818) 921-7212) And we
have some selected readings from TrumPoetry.com
So let's dig in...
CLIPS
Screams And Moans
Returns
Screams and Moans Returns and, as
Megan M (aka @PodcastWhore) eases back into her
hosting seat, she's joined by the lovely Melissa
Maples. They discuss Halloween III: Season of the
Witch, and she have more than a few questions for Melissa
during the second half. Our clip features talk of fear of
technology, clowns and how Knitting fits into various horror
films...
Side Note: The movie featured in this episode, Halloween III: Season of the Witch was filmed very close to where I grew up and currently reside. There's a lovely cheese factory in Loleta, the town that stood in for the town called Santa Mira. — TS
Side side note: The intermission skit, "The Nutritionist," was performed by a number of individuals including Succotash Executive Producer Marc Hershon.
Have you ever eaten frosting out of the can? Hidden empty pizza boxes under your bed? Fat Pig is fall-off-the-bone funny comedians Jessica Kirson and Frank Liotti, talking about food addiction, closet eating, bingeing, diets, shame, fat camp, and cake. Sometimes touching, often bizarre, always hilarious, Fat Pig is a wild ride from start to finish, diving in and pigging out on Americaís biggest addiction, food. The episode description we took this clip from simply reads: Maya Angelou, mayonnaise, and Betty White's tits, and it's from the "Fart Porn" episode from March 14th, 2018.
Get Up On
This
Final episode alert! Jensen
Karp and co-host Matthew Robinson have
sat with a different guest each week to get you up on (or up OFF)
new stuff. They' introduced you to musicians, TV shows, apps and
many more things, knowing you just didn't have the time to sift
through that shitt. In this epi, Jensen and Matthew present "The
Last Episode of Get Up On This!" They address the future of
the podcast, look back ond favorite moments from the show, and hit
you with their Top 10 Get Up Ons of All Time.
Never Seen
It
Famous
movies and TV shows are rewritten by people who have NEVER seen
them, then their versions are then cast and read in studio. Grab
your Red Vines and settle in for pop culture talk, ridiculous
movie-themed-games and recurring segments with host Kyle
Ayers' dad. In the episode I clipped from just a few weeks
ago, Steve Agee, who has never seen An
American Werewolf in London, rewrites it and they read his
script.
The Aggy Fox and Dana
Podcast
Join
the hosts of this brand new soundcast as hosts Aggy
Fox and Dana Lucas explore the great and
godawful of the world and play One Third of an Hour with a
different guest each episode. This clip Is from the very first
episode from October 19th, 2018, midway thru a segment called "The
Great and the Godawful" in which host Dana Lucas is halfway into
recounting an unpleasant experience for her contribution to the
"Godawful" portion of the segment.
The Boogie
Monster
In this
simple premised soundcast, hosts Kyle Kinane and
Dave Stone talk about ghosts, barbeque, and maybe
interview people and maybe have had a few drinks before they
started recording. OUr snippet hails from right back around the
corner at the end of October. The Waverly Hills discussion starting
point is at approximately the 42 minute mark. This is from a
portion of the conversation regarding the sanatorium's so-called
"Death Chute". Also, the Waverly Hills Sanatorium is thought to be
Haunted. So there's disease AND ghost talk in this episode of this
soundcast!
Well...that's about that. As I record this, the mid-terms have passed and I would not be surprised if there's AT LEAST 2 more years of conflict between The Government AND The People...Honestly it's not a new thing. People have been criticizing politics and politicians for a long time, not always constructively...But it is their right to do so and that's, I guess, the point. It's the violence and hatred that gets to me. That's why comedy is important to me...it's a break from the drama...and if not always a break it is at least a release of tension to be able to laugh at something.
Listening to soundcasts reminds me that people are still getting along, having conversations AND laughing about the strangeness that is the human condition...at least that's what it seems like to me.
So, for Marc Hershon, Bill Heywatt, Joe Paulino, Scott Carvey, and Succotash The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, I wish you a continued Happy Hallowanksgiving ...on into Thanksgiving Proper...or whatever else you might celebrate this November as long as you aren't hurting anyone. AND, if you would consider sharing this program with people who might enjoy it I'd be forever grateful, for that is what we are hoping to accomplish when we say "Please, Pass The Succotash"!
