CJ & BK of The Friendship Podcast

The Friendship Podcast crew, CJ & BK, stopped by for Episode 71! The Friendship Podcast is my favorite podcast in the entire podcast world.

CJ & BK chat about giving someone a “Skyrim“; the perfect sound effects; why “Scuba Guy” can’t enter the base through the front door; why The Muppet Babies is impossible; why you don’t invite tornados or vampires into your house; why there shouldn’t be an adjective before the word “tickle”; “Raisin Drops”, and rockin’ a good Merlot.

The Friendship Podcast returns for Season 3 on August 26 and is available on iTunes and Stitcher. They’re also tweeting Tweets tweetingly.

This episode is sponsored by Beer in Sac app. “We find the beer, so you don’t have to!” Be sure to download the app and see what is going on in town!

Johnny Taylor. Photo by Melissa Uroff

Johnny Taylor is my guest this week. Johnny’s a stand-up comedian who has performed with Robin Williams, Doug Stanhope, and Dave Attell. His album Tangled Up in Plaid was a Top 20 hit on iTunes.

Johnny and I chat about kids learning to cuss from comedians; “That’s the beauty of a fart”; how he avoided doing stand-up by writing for Gawker and ebaumsworld; dealing with the worst type of crowd; how the end of a relationship was good for the creative process; his penchant for naming his albums after albums; and how he crafts a joke.

Johnny Taylor and Keith Lowell Jensen recently started MASS at Momo Sacramento every first Sunday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 and the show starts at 7. He’s such a cool guy, he’ll even let you stream Tangled Up in Plaid. Be sure to follow Johnny on Twitter.

Thank you for listening to my conversation with Johnny Taylor!

Joey Garcia, advice columnist for Sacramento News & Review and Fox 40, is my guest for Episode 60.

Joey and I chat about her coming from Belize to the Unites States; her Jack London-like life that lead to giving advice for SN&R; being asked not once, not twice, but thrice times, based on an editor’s dream, to start writing advice; why turning a deaf ear to the Universe is a bad idea; and why people have always gone to her for guidance.

Be sure to catch Joey Garcia on Fox 40 every 2nd Tuesday and her column in SN&R, seen weekly by over 300,000 readers. She also wrote When Your Heart Breaks, It’s Opening to Love, a collection of “true stories of broken relationships with warm, wise advice that offers unexpected insights and prescriptions for healing.”

Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, she also has a non-profit, Rise Up Belize, that is striving to improve education for children in Belize.

Thanks for stopping by and listening to my conversation with Joey Garcia!

Ben and I  using the Sith Rule of Two for adopting dogs; our mutual love and respect for books like Charles Burns’s Black Hole, Alan Moore’s The Watchmen, and Bill Willingham’s Fables; how the Marvel and DC books of the 90s chased him away from the mainstream; and why his dogs only chew on DC characters.

Cody Stark

Cody Stark, host of Good Day Sacramento, is my guest for Episode 62. This is also the 1 year anniversary of the podcast!

Cody and I chat about his upbringing in Alabama, where his parents raised St. Bernard dogs and the confusion of having a name similar to one of the dogs and he lived next door to Fob James  and Fannie Flagg; why police dogs and Christmas elves don’t mix; how dressing like a big yellow chicken led to him having lunch with Wernher von Braun‘s right hand man; our mutual love of time-travel fiction and cancelled television shows; and being mistaken for “Corey”.

Thank you for listening to my conversation with Cody Stark! Be sure to follow Cody on Twitter! Cody has a podcast he’ll be debuting soon, too. Be sure to check back for links to it.
