I've been interrupted by Artificial the Animal, Banana Bonanza, and special correspondent, the dark lord himself, Aghalor the Black, in this special morning radio zoo commute radio episode! 

I hope you have a happy new year, and enjoy the rest of your holiday season. This will be the last episode for a little bit as a take a short break from producing this podcast.

Thank you all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

This week, I sat down and spoke to Frankie and Scott. A young, married couple on Long Island and talked to them about their movie review podcast, Shoot the Flick, and discussed holiday movies Dos and Don'ts.

Happy Hanukkah 2020! Let's end the year on a chai note. Not a chai note. A CHai note! That hard C-H if you know what I'm talking,; mucus and throat clearing required.

This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Chef Ashley Cutler-Rodriguez. Chef Ashley currently runs the QBG out of the Queens Brewery in Ridgewood, Queens. 

Ashley and I go back to when I was a server at a craft beer bar in Northern NJ, and she was the executive chef while I was there. Her food is delicious, and comforting, and when you taste it,  you know exactly who she is as a person: Awesome.

Also mentioned in this episode is Harvest Moon Botanica in Kansas City, Missouri. It is a small business that operates as a women's collective in support of making health and beauty products with natural ingredients.

Let's talk about this movie, the fun facts we can name in a short period of time, and the importance of knowing what and who you are making fun of in satire.

Stay hungry and stay satisfied wherever you around the world. This week is all about fried chicken. 

Ignore the noise. I am on the road.

A recap of a day, a time capsule in 2020 with Ivy Haycox, because this week, this day, the hours were spent will hopefully remain unique to this time and this place in the world like no where else. Listen to us reminisce on our day, because we have not been watching the news and have no idea what you're talking about. Whatever, there must be something in retrograde. 

The Hey Man Tour will take place from Nov. 10-20, and we will be hitting multiple U.S. cities including Nashville, New Orleans, Houston, Atlanta, and Baltimore. Have a show/mic happening in your city, and want us to come through? Slide into those DMs.

I sat down with artist/musician, John Santana Jr., from several miles away to discuss the fascination and cult following that goes with 1995's "Vampire in Brooklyn" directed by Wes Craven, and starring Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett.

This week caps off the Halloween month for the podcast. We quickly review and discuss a handful of great examples of films featuring or using vampires in the storytelling from the 20th and 21st century. The legend of the modern Vampire can be traced back to the history of Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth Bathory, but starts from Bram Stoker's "Dracula".
