So, I was interviewed by an online entertainment magazine called Pop Rock Candy Mountain, the interview went great, and the editor (Jeff "fuck yes" Clark - exceptionally awesome human being) asked me if I'd be interested in co-hosting a brand spanking new podcast they'd be launching late June/early July. I didn't have to think for long before saying "Eff yes". Tonight we record our first show....and I'm wicked (yes, I say wicked...deal with it...it's not like I'm saying 'hella') excited about it. The topic is Hacking Jokes / Joke Stealing and our guests are:
Maria Bamford
I find this lady particularly hilarious. She is part of the amazing Comedians of Comedy (with my boyfriend, Zach Galifinakas) and has been on and/or a part of more things than I can name. I haven't seen her live yet, as everytime she comes to Portland I've had shows, which is so frustrating. The next time I get the chance, I will see her...try and stop me. Here's her myspace page...you can find all of her goings on there...

Marc Maron
I recently saw Marc Perform alongside the incredibly funny Eugene Mirman and the unforgettable Andy Kindler in their 'Stand Uppity Tour' the show - aside from being on a feverishly hot Sunday night, was great. Watching Marc was a little odd though because he scarily reminds me of one of my brothers, John. I was sitting next to another comedian at the show, a comedian who knows John and the whole time Marc was onstage we just kept looking at eachother wide-eyed with telepathic thoughts of "oh my god...this guy is a jewish John in another body" everything from the Harry Potter glasses to the manurisms to the bittersweet tone of the story of their lives. I'm pumped to see what Marc has to say on the show.

And our final guest:
Andy Kindler
As I mentioned earlier, I saw Andy at the 'Stand Uppity Tour' show where he was the Tigger to Marc's Eeyore. It was a balanced blend, with Eugene Mirman being the icing on the gluten free cake. I ate it up. Andy was very full of energy, he was having fun and you could tell. In IMBd-ing Andy, I found that he has also been a part of many wonderful things...everything from Letterman to Everybody Loves Raymond. Andy is pretty outspoken and I'm excited and a little nervous to see how the show goes. I'm hoping the other guests will get a word in edgewise. I have to say though, there is a little butterfly in my stomach flapping it's wings with excitement for when we tell him the topic, and his tirade begins.
Andy's Website (not sure why he's not on myspace...maybe I should suggest it)

I will post as soon as I know when we will be airing the podcasts. As of right now (as in this moment in this day) we are shooting for July 1st. Until then...feel free to check out the PRCM website because it's awesome.

Don't drink any liquids during,
because these people will make you
spit-take early and often.
They are not only peers but amigos.
I loved Maron's local radio show
especially when he brought on
other comics, and I hope
he and Greg Proops bring
the Experiment back to the UCB
from hiatus.
I look forward to some
champeen-ship mad riffing
between these three.
Pray you can get a word in
edgewise.
Pod you then.
