EPISODES

Ride or Die, or Bust Up.  The hang is on.  Talking about the best funerals we have been too, Hells Angels, and blog memories we learned so much about life with Mrs. Fox.  We can’t give it all away, but I promise with gems like “Dreams go to LA to Die, and pathetic dreams go to Scottsdale Arizona to Thrive” this is an episode sure to please everybody.

We have been waiting to do this one for  very long time.  We may have to turn it into a recurring series just to catch up on all the things we covered.   Not only is Brad one of the top working comedians today, he also may soon be joining Mumford & Sons based on his new vinyl record hobby, craft beer brewery investments, and love of tam-o-shanters.

It’s been over 20 years since the last Jerky Boys album, but listening to the new self-titled album it’s clear Johnny hasn’t missed a beat, or prank call.   Johnny hangs with us to talk about his classic characters, influences, his time voicing Mort Goldman on Family Guy and why now is the right time for a new album.

Lewis'  special "Rookie of the Year" out as part of the Boogie’s Comedy Slam doesn’t diaspoint.   Taking aim at Steph Curry, sitting front row, it’s a bit you have to see.  We talk about that, his time on the hit MTV show “Are You The One?” and our mutal “respect” for flying Spirit Airlines

Joining us is a man who only needs to go by one name, HOLTZMAN…. These stories are amazing, and can’t be described in words.  And as much as we want to describe here the show, you are going to need to listen for yourself.  This one is a gem of gems, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it.    Enjoy it!

Founder & President of Comedy Dynamics, Brian is responsible for some of the most epic comedy sh*t put out the several years by Ali Wong, Tiffany Haddish, Kevin  Hart, Jim Gaffigan, and most recently, TMD guest, Jay Mohr.    The list of credits is mind boggling, and we talked about it all,

Officially one year in, we are celebrating our anniversary with a bang.   Evan Shaprio, President of National Lampoon joins us to debate Philly vs NY/NJ sports and to rehash some old wounds.  He is a man with a plan, well in effect, bringing the Lampoon back to the forefront of comedy.

Comedian, published author, Doctoral fellow at USC, Amy is a triple threat, and then some.  For those who don’t know what a “doctoral Fellow” is, like The Gregalicious didn’t, it means she is a professor at one of the best schools in the country and is clearly the apple of many of her students eyes. 

On the heels of his 50th birthday (yes, Randy from Scream is 50!!)  Jamie dropped in with us to talk about his new comedy special “Stoopid Smart” out on the ultra cool Tubi platform and hosting the next season of the Comedy Dynamics stand-up comedy showcase series, Coming To The Stage

You've seen Nathan on The Tonight Show, Conan and The Late Show and now an obvious highlight of his career, TMD.   We cornered him during quarantine for some chatter about movies, comedy and things that make Nathan angry.   Lock in.

Apparently there are masses of well dressed guys on the NYC subway system pulling it out and showing it off.  We discuss waking up to deserts of surprises in your DM's, if your tool of the trade has a headlight, and what Gregalicious and Molly have in common, both hailing from the Garden State.  Let it rip.

 In typical TMD style, we get to the bottom of the hard hitting. Kate is downright hysterical.   Totally recommend after listening to #79, you watch her Comedy Central set on This is Not Happening and her 15 minute special  on Netflix’s “Comedy Lineup”.   if you don't laugh until you cry, you probably suck.  

What happens in a car in the woods of Connecticut during quarantine stays in a car in the woods of Connecticut during quarantine.   unless you listen to TMD then all bets are off.  we are naming names, and today its Carmen Lynch.

Mitch found his way to stand up comedy after spending time in the Marines.  Currently 11 years into stand up, has one of the dream jobs working as a door man at the World Famous Comedy Store in Hollywood. 

All our friends are degenerates. Except this one is on Netflix.   You must check out Adrienne's set on the current season of the show, if it was built for anyone, it was built for her, 

You'll  know Mark WEISSGUY Weiss from his iconic music photography which helped craft the visual imagery of rock and metal in the 1980s.  He is responsible for two of the era’s defining album covers, Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet and Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry and we talked about it all. 

Rich Vos hates us, and that is the highest compliment we could have achieved and TMD loves Rich Vos.   We started out on the wrong foot by making Rich listen to our theme song, and we eased it back from there.   Rich is quite obviously one of the funniest people on the planet, and really a great guy for indulging us

Diving headfirst into the trim crime genre, we spend some time with Patrick, the host of the ridiculously popular podcast True Crime Obsessed which was the first podcast show to ever play Broadway, with a Playbill and everything!!!  We talk about our obsessions, where we align on the topic and a bunch of other dopeAF stuff.

One of the greatest character actors of all time, If you don't recognize Rick for delivering the best line from Groundhog Day, or from playing Mr Beasley (Pam's Dad) on The Office, or from any of the over 70 films, and 40 different tv shows he has appeared on, you know him as "The Drake" from Seinfeld.   

I think the moral of the story is, kids, wake up for school on time, or your father may start an instagram account @latenotes for the sole purpose of embarrassing you to the point of no return.

Tom McCaffrey, Alex Pischera & Eric Bransteen from LE2B Podcast join us for a riot of a 5 way.   Alex from the basement of his mother's house, Tom live from the beaches of Texas, and Eric living on the edge in NYC you will have to tune in to find out all the secrets we uncovered.  Def, No Sleep Till Brooklyn.....

Fast forwarding to the good parts, Mr Skin didn't realize TMD wasn't going to be as stimulating as his day job but pretty sure we got our moneys worth.   If you aren't familiar with "SKIN" you must have not listened to the Howard Stern Show the last 20 years, or saw the movie Knocked Up.

We stumbled onto JC while watching the Disney Channel...true story, and come to find he is a hysterical stand up comedian.  Part of "Just Roll with It" it's a pretty cool scripted hybrid show that incorporates improv, and its not just for kids.  You can catch his NSFK (not safe for kids) set as part of the Comedy Central Stand Up line up available online,

How much of The Office can you watch before the rhythm eventually gets you?  We tackle these hard hitting questions and so much more with this insanely funny, and super cool Wisconsin native, and a name if you aren't familiar with her yet, trust us, you will be soon enough.    You can thank us later.
