comedy4cast #073: The Basically Podcast Show, Take 7

Show notes by Cindy, Lenny’s downstairs neighbor.
Like, Lenny got this new sponsor, but he’s bummed out because, like, the ad stinks. So, he’s asking everyone to make an alternative ad and send it in. I figure the ad should be, like, short (no more than 20 seconds). It needs to mention “Little Wicker Baskets.” And, like, keep it work-safe and family-friendly and, like, only use podsafe music. You can email your mp3’s or scripts here or call the listener line at (206) 333-1339. Like, I feel like an announcer dude. Later!

comedy4cast #072: Four Minutes or Bust

Brian Kelley from RoughMix sends in an audio file that gets me to thinking about this whole four minute thing.
RoughMix with Brian Kelley

FUN FACTS:
Sure enough, this episode started out well over four minutes long! It took quite a while to chop it back down. Is hitting the four-minute mark exactly on the nose super important? I mean, I usually come fairly close, don’t I? Why not drop me anemail or call the listener line at (206)333-1339 with your thoughts?

comedy4cast #071: Attack of the Disneyland Touring Plan

I’m planning our next trip to Disneyland. Will the family survive? In this episode you’ll get a sneak peak at the answer.

FUN FACTS:
After our son was born, our first trip to a Disney theme park was a bit of a disaster. I tend to go, go, go. But you can’t really do that with a young child in tow. If you travel with the family and you like to be on the move all day, take my advice: do things as a group in the morning, then send the rest of your party off to relax at the pool while you carry on in the park. Everyone will be much happier.

comedy4cast #070: The New Used Car

I’ve traded in my Ford Taurus for a PT Cruiser. Buckle up. It’s time for a guided tour and a test drive. Please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.

FUN FACTS:
To record this episode, I did not prepare a script in advance. I simply took my portable recorder (iRiver 899) out to the car and began thinking up “bits.” At one point I was driving down the street, recording a few lines and wearing headphones. Suddenly I realized that what I was doing was either illegal or gave the impression that I was a private investigator (or both).

comedy4cast #069: Groucho’s Commencement Hijinks

If Groucho, Harpo and Chico Marx were at a graduation ceremony this year, it might go something like this.

FUN FACT:
Years ago I did a similar Marx Brothers skit as a promo commercial for my college radio station. The big difference is that the old skit used a lot of actual Marx Brothers dialog. This new parody is mostly original material. Enjoy! And don’t forget the wacky brothers who started it all.
