Podcast episode 248ish: Adam Pateman

Ready for a new podcast episode? I knew it! You guys are the best.

When you download this one, don't be fooled. It's not actually Tom Arnold. Nor is it a guy doing a spot-on impression of Roseanne's ex. Rather, it's Vancouver's own Adam Pateman! And when he's not doing impressions of campfires and the opening of pop cans and the pouring of contents into a glass, he sounds exactly like Tom Arnold without even trying. Unfortunately, we didn't talk about it during his visit to the What's So Funny? studio. I only realized it after listening back to the episode.

This show was recorded on 9/11/11 and we talked about the former New York resident's prophetic dream ten years earlier. It's almost eerie, except that it's not at all. And we field a call from former WSF? guest Ivan Decker, who complains about doing shows in the Big Apple.

Get started on the show right here. If you run out of time, go download it at iTunes – but only if you give it a rating. Come on, it's getting embarrassing. We've been stuck on eight ratings for eons. I know there are listeners. We have stats for these things. Some of you have to step up and rate the damn show, maybe even leave a comment. It's really giving a guy a complex.

Sept. 11: Adam Pateman

On this most sombre of anniversaries, our guest tonight is a young Vancouver comic who lived in New York City the past two years. We'll talk to Adam Pateman about the Big Apple and what he remembers as a 17-year-old back in 2001. And along the way we'll get to plenty of other stuff, too. I just spoke to Adam (for the first time) in depth a week or two ago and he's got plenty to talk about so this show promises to be a good one. And if we're lucky he'll do his famous impression of a campfire.

Tonight at 11, people! Be there. 102.7 FM in Vancouver or livestream it on coopradio.org. If you want to call in and talk to Adam, the number is 604-684-7561. He's looking forward to getting some calls. No pressure, though.
