My Dinner with Kenny, January 6, 2015

Seriously? Bicycles? We are arguing about bicycles? What has happened to this podcast?!?! Join Kenny and Steven as they scrape the bottom of the barrel, and come up empty handed - but its all very entertaining. Check it out!

Have you ever had one of THOSE days...? When the podcast is filled with hiccups, strange noises, a moment where you have to stop and start again, and well, an ill timed 7 second delay? Kenny and Steven try valiantly to keep their composure and talk about all of the important things, but the universe conspires against them! Will they survive? Will MDWK triumph over technology? Will someone please turn off that beeping alarm?? Listen in for an episode like no other!

The boys are thrilled to welcome back very special guest Erich Bergen as he shares the incredible story of performing at The White House with his fellow Jersey Boys where he met and chatted with President Obama, the First Lady, Vice President Biden, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, and more ... zowee! You can almost hear Steven and Kenny sitting there with their mouths hanging open! Thanks to Jeremy Lelliott for that yummy introduction...

The boys are back! This week, Steven and Kenny invade the International House of Pancakes on Sunset Boulevard and discuss the further developments in the LA 99 seat saga, plus the breaking news of Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid announcement. We live in exciting times, with tasty lunches. Got a comment or question, email directly to the team to be included in next week’s podcast!

Well ... this one's definitely a milestone. Steven and Kenny discuss the current Actors Equity 99-seat Plan brouhaha and things get pretty heated. Take a listen. And then please post your thoughts and comments.

Incredibly, this week's podcast marks the second anniversary of My Dinner With Kenny. BJ made a quick guest appearance as our opening announcer (he did it live)! We spent some time chatting about the sad passing of Chuck, one of Steven's cats, and then moved on to discussing - of all things - the US Postal Service. Next time, we promise to discuss the uproar over proposed changes to the 99-seat theatre plan here in LA. Will we see eye-to-eye on the subject?

Panera on a Monday, and all the crazies showed up right on schedule. Kenny and Steven chat this week about Steven's recent design of Billy Elliot, directed by the fabulous Brian Kite. Plus, Kenny's mouse is acting up, time to set a trap and have it put down. So much theatre to see in Los Angeles this month, its hard to name them all. What show will YOU see this month?

Welcome to 2015! Kenny and Steven discuss some theatre, some movies, some celebrities. All the good stuff. Not sure how anyone can confuse Joanna Gleason with Judith Light, but Kenny seems to be able to make that happen. If you haven't seen Into the Woods, or Birdman, there are spoilers in here, so go see these movies immediately! And honestly, is a second farewell tour considered a revival?

Just under the wire, and for your year-end listening entertainment... The final episode of MDWK for 2014! Sorry about the poor microphone quality - but it's only 12 minutes, so suffer! The boys met up this time at a Taco Bell restaurant for Kenny's birthday, and it was worth every penny spent on those 99 cent tacos.

This episode should have been sponsored by Warby Parker, Happy Socks, and TILLAMOOK! (Call us, we will work out a deal). Michael Bulger joins Steven and Kenny as they talk about practically nothing other than Kenny's recent education into the powerful effects of certain controlled substances. The holidays are upon us, and the year is nearly over. Hopefully the boys will be able to meet once more before 2014 ends!
