Danny Reynoso, punk rock musician, Luchadore, and brain tumor fighter joins me this week and we crack each other up, though mostly he cracks me up, as we remember the crazy hijinx we got up to in the 90s. Fart machines, and SWAT Teams, and blood spraying prosthetic penises oh my! Give a listen, it’ll all make sense, and you’ll even get a bonus few minutes of conversation with the one and only NorCal Wrestling Hall Of Famer, El Flaco Loco.

Drugs, Rock and Roll, and Video Games, my chat with Professor Shyguy covers all the bases from covering Christian rock bands at Jesus Camp to discovering the freedom and independence of replacing your bandmates with a Nintendo Game Boy and yes, once again, Weird All is praised. Have we had a guest yet who isn’t a Weird Al fan? I think not. Enjoy.

Amber’s resume reads like a list of the best animated films and shows of the last couple of decades, including putting in some time at Nickelodeon during their golden age. She’s currently working on Housebroken, Stillwater, and Hamster and Gretal, a new Disney project from the creator of Phineas and Ferb. As a lifelong animation fanatic it was an absolute delight chatting with her about the art and business of making cartoons.

Ngaio Bealum aka the dank diplomat, comedian, rapper, drummer, juggler, activist, marijuana connoisseur, and a great guy to road trip with. From being raised by two Black Panthers to performing for tourists on the pier in San Francisco to rocking comedy crowds around the world the Ngaio Bealum story is a real page turner and it was a blast getting the stories straight from the dude. He's always a fun hang out. See for yourself.

I could’ve talked to Corbett Redford about his documentary Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk, or about his legendary band Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children Macnuggits but instead we spent most of the hour talking about Huey Lewis. Hell Yeah, Huey Freakin’ Lewis Baby!!!

They make artisanal, gourmet soda syrups and old time. These are great for cocktails and mocktails, especially for mocktails. Look, your non-drinking friends are tired of Sprite, if you can offer them a Pineapple-Nutmeg shrub, you’re a much cooler host.

Jay Tholen is the mind behind Dropsy The Clown, and also a great guy who once worked for a mafia telemarketing firm. I met Jay when I was hired to be Dropsy as we stormed the video game media outlets in San Francisco, California, ending up appearing on Up At Noon, and giving out many hugs. 

It was great fun catching up with Jay from his new home in Germany where he continues to make bizarre and beautiful video games.

JR has a great story, immigrating from the Philippines, avoiding dental school, discovering comedy and living in his van,  and I even get him to sing and play his guitar for us. Always good to chat with a friend, especially such a talented and funny one.

Happy Birthday To Me! And also to my guest and birthday twin comedian Johnny Taylor! We were two shows into a nationwide tour when Corona came to town and wrecked our plans. Performing together on our birthday has been a tradition, but this year this podcast will have to stand in. I talk to Johnny about his career as a boxer, dealing with a rough upbringing, and having Christmas trees thrown at him until he just couldn’t. It’s laughs, it’s engaging, it’s a great episode that you should listen to right now. 

Please leave a review and subscribe, that’s all we ask in return for our hard work, well that and go support our sponsor at BurlyBeverages.com, but really you should be thanking us for that one.
