Blaine Thurier returns to the show after a nine year absence. He reveals the news (to us) that he's no longer in New Pornographers after a nice two-decade run. We also talk about his evangelical background, classical music, time machines, and Teen Lust, among other things.
Mike Wilmot returns 13 years after his first appearance on the show. It's a new Uncle Mike now. He's lost a ton of weight, but is as filthy (and funny) as ever. We had a lot of fun on this one talking about lightweight drinkers, industry showcases, fears, Pete Tong, and, of course, his father's penis. Recorded September 22, 2020.
I had spoken with Bob Saget three other times over the years, but he had never done the show. He can cross that off his bucket list now. It's always a wild ride talking to the former star of Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos. And we didn't even mention either of those shows in this episode. What we did talk about, among other things, was his photographic memory of a bad review he got in a Toronto paper 42 years ago, including the name of the reviewer and his terrible memory when it comes to me. He also told us about his umbilical penis, told stories of Richard Pryor and Rodney Dangerfield, and discussed Johnny, Merv and Mike. We were into it so much, he was late for his recording of his podcast, "Bob Saget's Here For You."
We're back with another episode to get you (and us) through our social isolation. We talked to old pal Marcus Ryan all the way down in Wonthaggi. Where? Google it. It looks lovely. Marcus has been with us four times previous to this one, in 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015. Seems we forgot we were working on an every-other-year thing. He is a comedian and world traveller. I mean, in normal times. These days he's at home for longer than he has been at any one time in the past 17 years. We talk about what that's like, what his part of the world is like these days, adventures he's had in the 60-odd countries he's visited. There's also talk about snooker and jailbirds.
