Succotash Epi314: Midsummer Mix

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner! Welcome to this episode of Succotash that numbers 314! If you are new here, thank you so much for listening. If you listened to last week's episode #314 subtitled "Let's All Go to the Movies" you no doubt enjoyed the content featured within that episode which was hosted by Marc Hershon.
Marc, this show's creator and original full-time host, originated this program to showcase the soundcasts of comedy folks and the like for over 11 years now, and for the last 2+ years, since shortly after the COVID-19 Lockdown of 2020, he and I have been alternating weekly hosting duties.
So,…last week, Mr. Hershon brought you a quartet of clips from the movie-centric soundcasts known as But Is It Good, Forever Movie Boys, Rotten Tomatoes Is Wrong, and They’re Just Movies. It was an entertaining episode that you can still find in our archive at www.succotashshow.com as well as pretty much most places you can find other soundcasts including, but not limited to, Apple or Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Soundcloud, YouTube, Amazon Music, Audible, Podchaser, and PodBay.

This week's episode features clips from the soundcasts: Black Aesthetic, Jeremiah Wonders, and Real Life Sci-Fi.
…and of course, we've got a classic advert from our longtime FAKE sponsor "Henderson's Pants" for you later in the program.

I can't think of a good reason to delay the proceedings any any longer, so let's get to the clips while they are still warm!

CLIPS

Black Aesthetic
The soundcast Black Aesthetic feature Black voices talking Black life, Black Arts and Black culture with Queen Dee, Dellar, Mona Loki and KM Ross. A production of Black Humboldt, a volunteer run organization working to create and sustain safe spaces and representation for Black & Brown community members in Humboldt County, CA. BH achieves this goal through hosting Exclusive events for Black and Brown identities. Our clip is from the episode that dropped on the 13th of October, 2020, entitled "Getting Mental" w/ comedian Joshua Barnes. "Barnes matches his anecdotal wisdom with an “everybody’s favorite dad” charm. He’ll have you rolling in your seats with stories and musings of everyday life. Barnes delivers a commanding performance whether he’s recounting the times his son has shamed him or detailing his beliefs of life’s purpose."

Real Life Sci-Fi
From the show's description: "Real Life Sci-Fi is a comedy podcast. A late night bar conversation about conspiracies, creatures and all things paranormal. Should the world be categorized as fiction or non-fiction? 1 skeptic. 1 believer. 1 woman. 1 guest. I clipped this snippet (or is that snipped this clippet?) from their Epi357 which dropped on June 20th of this year, entitled "Crop Circles With Fred Stoller. (Fred was a guest on Succotash during our first year, way back on Episode 15!) The hosts — Wade Randolph, Willy Roberts, Erin Pearce — continue their conversation with Fred, off the topic of the rest of the show (crop circles - some crop circles are man made. Are all of them? There is some compelling information about some crop circles. Will they get to it?)

Jeremiah wonders…
is a weekly podcast where Jeremiah Watkins interviews guests with some of his favorite original characters and impressions. You never know who's going to call in! We clipped from back in May of this year (this year being 2022, if you happen to have been time traveling…), Episode 231 with guest Nigel Ng (AKA Uncle Roger)

…and that pretty much brings us to the end of the episode for this week. I've only got my wrap-up left to do here which will include some light begging of you to rate and review us if you like what you heard. It really helps us out…helps "keep the lights on" so to speak.

Sometimes it is difficult to believe that it has been 11 years since this show started, and within that time the format known as the "podcast" has experienced a huge surge in growth and…perhaps a stagnation, a decline, a resurgence…you know, I don't really know if the last bits of that are true. I just know that online, podcasts are ubiquitous…can't throw the proverbial digital stone without hitting one…and offline…It seems like they are still kind of lesser known than most other forms of media. Maybe that's not true and I need to talk to more people.
At any rate, THIS podcast - or soundcast as this soundcast refers to podcasts as - has the role of introducing other soundcasts to people who are technically already somewhat aware of their existence…you know what? We've been over this.

I hope something you heard in this program inspires you to listen more, or at the very least has been entertaining. Thank you for listening, be decent to each other, tune in next week for Epi315 hosted by Marc Hershon, and, in the meantime, if someone asks you if you have heard anything interesting lately…or you'd like to proactively tell people about what you are listening to and it has been us…won't you please….pass the Succotash?

Succotash epi313: Let's All Go to the Movies

Hello, friend! And thank you, Bill Heywatt! ‘Tis I, Marc Hershon, your every-other-weekly host of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. And not only is this episode slated to actually drop on time for the first time in weeks – at least on my watch. My illustrious co-host, Tyson Saner, always clocks his epi's in on time — but I am now safely ensconced in Studio N, my “Nerd Nest” in my new digs in Grass Valley, California. Still working on soundproofing and the little bells and whistles to make this really come together, but it’s a process, you know?

Speaking of Tyson, which I was just doing, I’m hoping you caught his most recent installment, AKA Episode 312, entitled “Nothing in Common”, where he featured a trio of comedy soundcast entries which had very little to do with one another, other than the fact they were comedy oriented. They were: No Cover - Live from Savage Henry Comedy Club, Gag On This…Podcast, and In Bed with Nick and Megan. I said “were” but may as well have meant “are”, since you can still avail yourself of said episode, fetchable at Apple or Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Soundcloud, YouTube, Amazon Music, Audible, Podchaser, PodBay, and on our own humble little homesite at SuccotashShow.com

This week, I have pulled together four shows to clip, all under a common theme. I’m calling this episode “Let’s All Go to the Movies” because I’m selected a quartet of comedy-oriented movie review shows. In the past we’ve featured soundcasts like How Did This Get Made? and the Film Threat soundcast with friend-of-the-show Chris Gore. I ventured out into the Soundcastiverse and found shows we haven’t featured yet, which means you’ll be hearing snippets from But Is It Good?, Forever Movie Boys, Rotten Tomatoes Is Wrong, and They’re Just Movies.

In addition, we’re brought to you this week by Henderson’s Pants wildly appropriate Hooray 4 Hollywood Slacks. Plus, we get back into sharing your social media handles when I dip into the TweetSack a little later in the show.

CLIPS 

They’re Just Movies
I’m going to start with a soundcast called They’re Just Movies because they did a review recently of Lightyear, that Buzz Lightyear movie which I haven’t seen yet. This soundcast is hosted by a “small group of nerds” as they call themselves, which includes Riley Murdock, David Gauthier, and James Strieb. Their collective reviews around the film featuring a different flavor of Buzz Lightyear than we’ve seen featured in the Toy Story movies are little light on the kudos, yet they don’t out and out trash the film – to put a positive spin on their take, they start out talking about what they liked about it.

Forever Movie Boys
A trio of Australian guys host the Forever Movie Boys soundcast. The funny things is that there are three of them BUT the logo for their show only features two caricatures. Although there IS a kernel of popcorn hovering between the two, so maybe that’s the third guy? And, as is often the case since we started doing Succotash 11 and a half years ago, no trace of any names for the hosts. At least not on the web. Maybe they mention it during the show but I missed it. Anyway, in advance eof them wanting to catch the new Elvis movie by Baz Luhrman, they treated themselves to a bit of a culty classic the week before it opened: Bubba Ho-Tep. It seems like they didn’t quite dig it…

But Is It Good
Our third movie review related comedy soundcast is called But Is It Good” – no question mark in that title, if you were wondering – and its hosting by Hunter Callahan and Zack Olson. We’re just going to pop back a couple of weeks when the hosts welcomed guest Robert Clough in to discuss Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the way-too-long anticipated sequel to the second Ghostbusters movie. They all kind of dug it but there were some issues…

Rotten Tomatoes is Wrong
When you’re gambling it’s usually a good idea to cover your bets. I get the feeling that’s what’s going on with our last review for a show called Rotten Tomatoes is Wrong. That’s because it’s a soundcast that’s also produced in conjunction WITH Rotten Tomatoes. According to the show’s description , hosts Jacqueline Coley and Mark Ellis “go deep and settle the score with some of the most beloved – and despised – movies and TV shows ever made.” Helping them tackle an overview of all six Jurassic Park movies is actor Andrew Guy.

We have reached the end of our designated time together for this week. Tyson Saner returns next week in this very same feed to bring you Succotash episode 314. Most likely clips but it could be a chat or maybe a mixed combo plate special. Who knows?!

If you want to check out my Vulture soundcast reviews, the column I contribute to has been renamed This Month in Comedy Podcasts and my June one is still up. I reviewed a recent entry from our old pals Hal Lublin and Mark Gagliardi with their We Got This soundcast and that’s over on Vulture.com.

Other than that, if you find a discarded cellphone in the street and you pick it up, then it rings, you answer it, say, “Hello?” and a voice at the other end asks if you’ve been listening to anything good lately, won’t you please pass the Succotash?

Succotash Epi312: Nothing In Common

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner, and I welcome you to Soundcast Land … which is where Succotash, the soundcast you are currently listening to, resides…as well as in the hearts of millions I am being told so, Holy Crap…thank you! It's a very special feeling that I will attempt to acknowledge on the regular by continuing to do more-or-less the same thing for as long as seems appropriate…whatever THAT means. Cheers to you!

Last week, in Epi311 titled "Moving to the Sounds of Laughter", show creator, executive producer, my co-host and your more-or-less every-other-show-host Marc Hershon brought you a trio of soundcast clips from the soundcasts known as: 5-4, Crazy Town, Prop Culture, and Romance Road Test. Lots of entertainment to be had there, and you can find that show along with our 11 years deep archive of episodes over at www.succotashshow.com, or pretty much wherever else soundcasts can be found and listened to… including where you found this episode.

Speaking of which: This is Episode 312, "Nothing In Common", and I've got clips for you from three soundcasts that have (seemingly) nothing in common): No Cover - Live from Savage Henry Comedy Club, Gag On This…Podcast, and In Bed with Nick and Megan.

If you are new to our show, welcome! Thank you for listening. This episode is sponsored by the all-new Passive Aggressive Pants from Henderson's Pants, makers of coverage for everything you have down under since 1735.

CLIPS

No Cover - Live from Savage Henry Comedy Club
At Savage Henry Comedy Club in Eureka, CA, comedians and luminaries join host Mark Sanders to unwind and laugh about the goings on in Humboldt Country and the world at large. I clip from the first episode from May 13th, 2022 - "Condors in the Air, Scooters on the Street, and a Couple of Kinds of Comics",, and feature the music and comedy stylings of inaugural guest Stephanie Knowles.

Gag On This…Podcast
Big Nick, Rob, Charron, and Daddy D get together each week to interview local comedians/comediennes about their life in comedy, their views of the local scene, and we have them enter the 'Comics Studio.' We also discuss random topics and crack jokes with our guests and sometimes ask the audience to join in on the fun!" Taken from their Epi181 the dropped May 9th of this year, called "Gutting the Sacred Sinkie", the gang is joined by comedian Kevin Gootee! In this clip, Kevin explains what "Comics Watching Comics" is and notes some of the influence it has had on new comedians.

In Bed with Nick and Megan
Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman have been a couple for 20 years - 138 years in Hollywood time - and in their podcast they take listeners directly into their bed… because that’s where every episode is recorded - their bed. Cozying up with their famous friends, your favorite couple provide a funny, revealing, and very candid look into their relationship and life at large. In some episodes, they’ll even kick the guest out of bed and get extra personal in what some have called the most searing and rawly sexual conversations ever to burn their way through a voice recorder. Oh, yes. It’s that good. Join Megan and Nick for some serious pillow talk. This clip is from August 30th, 2020, an episode entitled "Checking In with Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest". There is a terrific story very early on about how Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest met. I did not clip that for this show. I chose instead to go with a clip of the group having a discussion that begins with sharing experiences in the theatre and the early days of cable T.V. programming.

(Note: There has not been an episode of In Bed with Nick and Megan released since the "Season 1 Finale" dropped on September 13th, 2020.)

When you get done listening to Episode 312, this is pretty much what I'll be saying: "Hey there… welcome to the end of the episode. I do hope you found some interest and/or entertainment in the roughly half-hour of your life that you spent listening to us. Maybe you will search out these shows to add to your "to-listen-to-queue" for further exploration? Maybe you've already heard one or more of the shows featured on this program and were curious to hear specifically what we chose to share with other people… maybe you would have chosen a different portion? Those are a great many "Maybe"s indeed, but they are only as good as their ability to signify that probabilities are being speculated upon…. At least, that's what it looks like from where I'm sitting.

Another difficult thing is finding a graceful way to transition to a plug for my website over at www.tysonsaner.com where you will find links to all my other projects including other soundcasts, music, videogame gaming videos of various sorts on my YouTube channel, over a hundered now actually with a more-or-less steady release of content lately…and maybe a few surprises.
Anyway, listen in right here next week for episode 313 brought to you by Marc Hershon and then, most likely, I will be back in 2 weeks with episode 314… so, until then, Be Decent to Each Other, and if someone should ask you if you've heard anything good or interesting lately, and we come to mind, won't you please pass the Succotash?

Succotash Epi311: Moving to the Sounds of Laughter

Old habits die hard, right? I can’t seem to drop an episode on time these days! What is this, the third show that I’ve hosted in a row to drop a day or more late? Ridiculous. BUT I have an excuse. Okay, I’ve had an excuse every time but THIS time it’s real-er.

Firstly, as our announcer Bill Heywatt will tell you, I AM Marc Hershon, the OG host for Succotash, The Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, and you’ve gotten hold of Episode 311. My excuse? I’ve been moving. Not just down the street, or down the block, or across town. My lovely wife, Debra, and I have uprooted from Sausalito, California – right across the bay from San Francisco, if you’re unfamiliar – and headed for the hills. The Sierra foothills, that is, in Grass Valley, CA. That’s a good 3-hour drive from the Bay Area, or SIX hours if you’re making the trip in an electric car with a 100-mile range.

Anyway, just moved in last Friday so “Studio N”, my Nerd Nook, had to be disassembled, boxed up, and re-assembled in our new place. It’s been a journey, friend. Average daily temperature is in the upper 90s to low 100s. And just a couple days ago, a wildfire broke out about 14 miles away with smoke I could clearly see through the Studio N window billowing up.

So enough of my excuses. You downloaded or are streaming this installment of Succotash to hear some snippet of comedy soundcasts, didn’t you? Well, friend, I’ll let you know what I have in store for you right after I ask whether you heard my inestimable colleague Tyson Saner, who always drops HIS show on time, in this feed last week with Epi310, entitled “Question, Listen, Kill”. It was a good time, featuring three shows I’d heard ABOUT but had never actually heard before: What'd You Do This Weekend?, I Hear Voices, and Kill Me Now with Judy Gold. If you didn’t catch it then you can still catch it now through a variety of authorized listening posts, including Apple and Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Amazon Music, Audible, iHeart Radio, YouTube, PodBay, Podchaser, and always – along with more than 11 years of archived episodes – on our homesite, SuccotashShow.com.

That gets you up to speed and gets us to this episodes fascinating lineup of featured snippets. I’ve harvested “sound seedlings” from 5-4, Crazy Town, Prop Culture, and Romance Road Test. In addition, we’ve got a new fake sponsor this week: Sarsaparilla.

Let’s get started, shall we?

CLIPS

5-4
This episode’s first entry is from 5-4. If you’re looking for it, that’s the numeral five, then a hyphen (or dash, if you’re from the Old Country), followed by the numeral four. It’s a soundcast, as they say right upfront, about how much the Supreme Court sucks. A sentiment I happen to agree with more and more with each judgement they render. Or mangle, as the case usually is. The hosts, Peter, Michael, and Rhiannon look at the reasoning behind SCOTUS’ issues, using their dark humor to reveal the high court’s biases, as the About section of their homesite tells us. Spoiler Alert: The clip I’ve selected doesn’t really have a whiff of their trademarked humor in it as if comes from their recent Emergency Episode: Roe Is Overturned. I didn’t want to play anything funny because I don’t think the matter is funny and neither do they.

Romance Road Test
It’s always fun and interesting when one soundcast begats another. And now the long-running By The Book soundcast, hosted by Kristen Meinzer and Jolenta Greenberg, have had a baby soundcast, entitled Romance Road Test! Kristen and Jolenta are also co-authors of the book How to Be Fine: What We Learned from Living by the Rules of 50 Self-Help Books. After years of experimenting on themselves with every self-help technique under the sun, they're leveling up and putting their own long-term romantic relationships on the line. Over 16 episodes, Kristen and Jolenta and their partners will test out popular recommendations for reigniting romantic connections. Everything from grooming each other—to sex every day for a week. Audiences will listen in and learn about what actually brings them closer…and what makes them want to run screaming away from each other. In this clip from their debut episode, they set up the idea of re-creating your very first date with your partner…if you can remember back that far. (You can get the first episode of Romance Road Test in their By The Book soundcast feed BUT the remainder of the episodes are exclusively available on Audible.com or through the Audible app.)

Crazy Town
For our next clip this episode, it’s off to Crazy Town, a soundcast hosted by Asher Miller, Rob Dietz, and Jason Bradford. This motley trio from the Post Carbon Institute uses their show to try to keep it together while diving in to maddening issues like climate change, runaway capitalism, and widespread social delusionism. I clipped their episode from early June entitled, “Throwing Superman Through a Cigarette Truck: The Insidious Manipulation of Advertising”. Our snippet has the hosts getting into the annoying practice in movies known as “product placement.”

Prop Culture
I am still trying to wrap my head around the concept for our lat featured show, entitled Prop Culture, which is another brand new soundcast. First of all, it’s not to be confused with a Disney+ show of the same name, hosted by Dan Lanigan, who is a movie prop collector. The Prop Culture we’re clipping is hosted by 3 NFTs characters Loot Bag #2020, Quirkies #307, and Quirkies #1988. It seems to only be available on iHeart Radio, or was – the more I look for it, the more it seems to be leaking out into other distribution channels. I’m not sure who’s doing the three voices. I do find it interesting that the show description on iHeart Radio ends with: “Prop Culture. We bet you’ll hate it.” See what you think with this snippet from their first episode, “The Pickleball Murders”.

That’s what we got for you and apologies to anyone who used out @SuccotashShow handle in their socials this past week to get into the TweetSack. This episode is so late I’m dispensing with the Sack for this week. But I’ll save up those handles until I’m back for Epi313.

Tyson will be back for Epi312 next week in this very same feed, so tune in for his soundcast shenanigans and check out his gaming videos at Tyson Saner: Gamer on YouTube, too!

Until next time, if you should happen to find yourself careening wildly down a steep hill on a bike with no brakes, and a pedestrian you narrowly missed as you zipped through an intersection screams out, “Have you heard anything good lately?!”, won’t you please pass the Succotash?

Succotash Epi310: Question, Listen, Kill

Saluton! Estas mi Tyson Saner, and I welcome you to this episode of Succotash which happens to be #310. I will be your host this week. Last week, Executive Producer, Show Creator, my co-host, and your every-other-show-host Marc Hershon brought you a quartet of soundcast clips from the soundcasts known as Big Facts, No Cap, CoDependent, Penn’s Sunday School, and Penny For Your Thoughts. It's a fun show and I urge you to check it out at your earliest convenience.

As with all our shows, including this one — eventually —you can find them on pretty much every podcast platform. The most common examples include Apple & Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Audible.com, iHeart Radio, YouTube, Soundcloud, Podbay, and Podchaser. You can also find the episode by going to our homesite, which is SuccotashShow.com.

But right now you are listening to THIS week's show which, as earlier stated is #310, and coming up for you within it are clips from the soundcasts What'd You Do This Weekend?, I Hear Voices, and Kill Me Now with Judy Gold. (Hence the show's title for this week: "Question, Listen, Kill"…)

And, of course, we will have a classic advertisement from our longtime FAKE sponsor "Henderson's Pants" for their Flying Jodhpurs.

I know you're anxious to hear what I have in store for you so here they are…

CLIPS

What'd You Do This Weekend?
What’d You Do This Weekend? is a hilarious podcast with cartoonist Hilary Campbell and writer Derek Boeckelmann who are obviously best friends who are also very, very funny. Every week they’ll answer that age-old question: "What did you do this weekend?" With tales of New York vs LA, delivery vs. pickup, boys vs. girls, each week Hilary and Derek invite guests to get into every aspect of what it means to be alive from Friday night to Monday morning. Our clip is from their June 6th, 2022, Episode 10: What'd You Do This Weekend? with Vivian Martinez and "Tiny Margaritaville!", featuring a section of their discussion of The Bratz Movie.

I Hear Voices
Animated characters have befriended our imaginations since childhood, but have you ever wondered, "Who is the person behind that VOICE?" I Hear Voices is a celebration of our favorite voices in animation, video games, anime, and more! Hosted by the dynamic Kim Possible duo, Christy Carlson Romano (Even Stevens, Big Hero 6) and Will Friedle (Boy Meets World, Batman Beyond), it's your weekly dose of hilarious conversation with a dash of nostalgia. Plus, each episode features a playful segment where Christy, Will, and their guests interact with the audience and create voices for original characters! I clip fromfrom their May 6th, 2022 epi entitled "The Voice of SAMURAI JACK was in Pulp Fiction!" with guest Phil Lamarr (Samurai Jack AKA Green Lantern AKA Static Shock AKA Hermes, to name a few…) He's an absolute legendary actor on camera and in voice-over. He credits his experience in improv prepared him for transitioning into voice-over. In this clip, host Will Friedle discusses feelings of inadequacy when comparing himself to other actors…

Kill Me Now with Judy Gold
A weekly podcast, Kill Me Now is hosted by award-winning comedian and writer, Judy Gold. Since Judy always seems to be pissed-off about something, she thought why not interview celebrities about what makes them angry - from the extraordinary to the mundane. The snippet I've clipped is from March 14th, 2022, Epi341, and features Malcolm Nance, who just may be the most interesting man in the world. And this epoisode is just Part 1 of his convo with Judy!

And here we are again at the end of another episode. I do hope you find some enjoyment within somewhere. Something that you will remember after you have left this listening space. Perhaps something that will inspire you to check out the full versions of the soundcasts you heard in this episode. Perhaps other episodes from the soundcasts you heard with different guests… or perhaps other soundcasts featuring the guest you heard… it's difficult to say. I've already got ideas of what I will be bringing you in 2 weeks, but until then, consider subscribing to us wherever you can, tune in next week for Marc Hershon's episode 311, be decent to each other, go to www.tysonsaner.com for all the other stuff I am involved in if you are interested in that…and if someone asks you if you've heard anything memorable lately won't you please pass the Succotash?

Succotash Epi309: A Day Late But 4 Clips To The Good

Oh, listener. Dear, sweet listener. I know. I KNOW. Marc Hershon here, your every-other-weekly-host and I am once again late putting out an episode – this one #309 - of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. Apologies! Unlike last time, I’m not going to cheap out and pull an moldy oldie from the Succotash archives. I actually have a real passel o’ soundcast clips for you this time, all freshly harvested.

Before I get into what I have in store for you, did you get a chance to hear last week’s Epi308 and what our alternating host Tyson Saner was serving up? It was a delicious trio of debut episodes form the soundcasts The Tumbler's Willy Podcast, No One Can Know About This: A Podcast Where We Play Every Final Fantasy, and Just Say Julie. It’s not too late to put it in your ears – simply head over to Apple & Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, Audible.com, iHeart Radio, YouTube, Soundcloud, Podbay, Podchaser, and on our own homesite, SuccotashShow.com.

Okay. So WHAT in the world can I surprise and delight you with today? How about clips from a mixed bag of shows, some you may have heard of and maybe some you are not so aware of like Big Facts, No Cap; CoDependent; Penn’s Sunday School; and Penny For Your Thoughts. And because they are always here whether we want them to be or not, another ad from our longtime, non-paying sponsor Henderson’s Pants with their amazing Klept-O-Matic Trousers.

CLIPS

Big Facts, No Cap
I love that a line in this first show’s description goes, “Truly a show no one asked for.” That could apply to this show as well, but Paul and Adrian jumped on it first for Big Facts, No Cap. It’s a soundcast, “in which two normal dudes with highly overlapping worldviews give advice to online strangers who will probably never hear it. Using questions from advice columns ranging in scope from dating to pet care to religion and everything in between, Paul and Adrian deliver the best suggestions they can muster off the top of their lovely yet largely vacant heads.” Love it. Super simple, succinct description of this show. This clip is from their recent episode entitled, “99 Problems”, where they’ve gotten into talking about rude people and a woman at Trader Joes in particular.

Codependent
Codependent with Mayce and Jordan features the two namesake hosts, Mayce Galoni and Jordan Scherer, every week taking about friendship, feelings, and questionable dietary choices. Both guys are comedians and they have been called “weirdly close” by both relatives and girlfriends. They recently rolled out kind of a mini-series in successive episode entitled “Curmudgeon” – this clip is from “Curmudgeon 3”, where they guys ruminate on who was the person who decided on the dates on the calendar?

Penn’s Sunday School
Hosted by magician and comedian Penn Jillette – you know, from Penn & Teller – along with Michael Goudeau and Matt Donnelly kick around the news of the week. And YOU can be part of the confab, because this is a live show that kicks off at high noon on Sundays Las Vegas time on Twitch TV, which they then punt into a podcast by Monday morning. Our clip is from very recently – June 11th, 2022 – and features guest Robert “Bob” Corn-Revere, their resident 1st Amendment attorney who gets into free speech and pornography and whether the founding fathers of the USA got into that stuff.

Penny For Your Thoughts
Last but not least is our clip from soundcast Penny for Your Thoughts. Hosted by comedian Jake Penny and a rotating cavalcade of co-hosts, we look to the beginning of this month of June, 2022, and fellow comedian Emmanuel Lewis. The guys talk about performing comedy and, in this clip, thinking back to the early days of starting out and figuring it out. The show notes on Buzzsprout says it all: “Real laid back zoom podcasting just talking comedy and old stories.”

That’s going to do it for me for now. I’m in the process of moving to an entirely new house in an entirely different area of the state of California so the next time you hear my voice, it will be coming from my new soundcast studio in process! Check back next week in this very same stream for Tyson Saner and his soundcast stylings for Episode 310. And in the meantime, if you’re sitting on the bus, minding your own business, and some ne’er-do-well shoves a shiv in your ribs and asks if you’ve heard anything good lately, save your life please pass the Succotash.

Succotash Epi308: A Trio of Firsts

Saluton, estas mi Tyson Saner, and I am your every-other-weekly host for this particular week's episode of "Succotash" that happens to be #308… welcome to it! Last week in Epi307, my co-host and your every-other-show-host Marc Hershon, who is also the executive producer of Succotash these 11+ years, dipped into the archive to revisit, indeed re-broadcast, Episode 88 of Succotash when it was still called Succotash, The Comedy Podcast Podcast, and yours truly was still the associate producer sending in 3 or so clips an episode to help total an average of six.

That was what it was like listening to Succotash in 2014 and you should know that the clips contained in that episode were from the soundcasts Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast, ( the premiere episode, I should add…), John Dredge’s Nothing To Do With Anything Show, The Jockularity Show, Geeks with Wives & Capes, The Crunch Time Show, What a Pair of Trousers!, Old Enough To Know Better, Like I’m An Idiot, and Picnic Time Podcast. That makes NINE podcast clips…10 if you count the snippet of Chillpak Hollywood Hour… and why wouldn't you? That episode also had 2 full "Bursts O' Durst" from Raging Moderate Will Durst for good measure… oh, and also a Henderson's Pants ad … "Air-Cooled Culottes" I believe…
You can find that episode in episode #307 as previously stated, or you can go to the show archive at www.succotashshow.com and find it in it's original form between episodes 87.5 and 89.
This week, I've got a show of firsts for you. Three of them. Three clips, each from a debut episode of a soundcast. The clips are from the shows The Tumbler's Willy Podcast, No One Can Know About This: A Podcast Where We Play Every Final Fantasy, and Just Say Julie.

I also have an ad from our longtime Fake Sponsor Henderson's Pants for their patented Sleepover Slax.

All right, without further delay, let's get to the clips!

CLIPS

The Tumbler's Willy Podcast
Tumbler’s Willy is the longest-running TV drama in the world - so how come you’ve never heard of it until now? Maybe you’re a cultural sloth, or perhaps you’ve just been busy chasing your dreams. Whatever, now’s your chance to discover what you’ve been missing for the last 120 years. Join American sitcom writer Andy Bobrow and UK children’s author Andy Stanton as they take a deep and incredibly dumb dive into this most British-est of shows. If you’ve got any sense at all, you won’t believe your ears. My clip is from the first episode that dropped on March 15th of this year, entitled "Silence and Sound".

No One Can Know About This: A Podcast Where We Play Every Final Fantasy
A podcast where the hosts literally play every Final Fantasy, using recordings from actual play sessions mixed with commentary from their future selves. Hosted by Jeff Eckman and Ryan Kasmiskie. Our snippet hails from their debut installment, which posted back in December of 2017, and was called "An Unexamined Life."

Just Say Julie
Miss Julie Brown (MTV’s Just Say Julie, Medusa, Attack of the 5’2 Women & more!) talks anything and everything with sidekick and producer Benny Laurence. Anything is possible on this podcast/webshow so stay tuned! It just got started this year, with the first episode bowing on February 9th of this year. In the first episode, Julie reads title suggestions from Twitter and talks Bachelor conspiracies with friend and producer, Benny. And in this clip, there a little about how Miss Brown and Ms. Laurence met…

And just like that, another episode done and in the archives… also on Google and Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Audible, Amazon Music, Soundcloud, Podchaser.com, Podbay, and on YouTube. That's right, you can listen on YouTube.

If you are interested in Gaming videos, you can find many of various types and audience age range appropriateness… Currently, I've been doing "let's plays" of educational apps such as having to do with Peppa Pig, or the internet Edutainment sensation Blippi.

I've also played "house flipper" but I have yet to edit that. At any rate, thank you for listening, tune in next week for episode 309 within which I imagine Marc Hershon will have cooked up something fantastic for you to sample and enjoy.

Until then, be decent to each other, thank a hospital worker for their service if you should happen across one out in the world not within a hospital's boundaries, and… if someone asks you if you have heard anything good lately, or perhaps you are on Twitter and someone asks for podcast recommendations, and we come to mind, won't you please…pass the Succotash?
