If you don’t know Wayne White’s name, you owe it to yourself to go watch “Beauty is Embarrassing” immediately and feel bad that his name passed you by the millions of times you’ve seen it.  Part of Wayne and his work is in Pee Wee’s Playhouse, Beakman’s World, and the Smashing Pumpkins music video for “Tonight, Tonight,” just to name the three things that are quickest to name.  He’s a brilliant painter (see a tiny portion of a mural of his in the photo above) and comedy appreciator and mixes the two wonderfully with his word paintings, which he intends to simply entertain his audience.  He’s inspiring, insightful, and he likes funny shit.  Listen to why he picked this amazing double-album from Richard Pryor.

The amazing Carlos Alazraqui stops by his own house to discuss Los Cochinos, which comes with a nice personal story involving the one and only Cheech Marin.  We actually recorded this one quite awhile back, but I thought it’d be fun to revisit with a new perspective on the album sooner, rather than later.

Consummate comedy nerd, comedy vinyl collector and comedian in his own right (yes, he had a song played on Dr. Demento’s show when he was 11), Dan Pasternack is here to talk Carlin’s “Take Offs and Put Ons,” not to mention putting most people’s comedy stories to shame with one encounter involving both George Carlin and Stan Freberg.  Enjoy, and be sure to read his articles on McSweeney’s about his comedy vinyl collection.

That album we’re holding is indeed not Mitch Hedberg’s “Mitch All Together.”  That’s because A) It wasn’t released on vinyl and B) the gentleman next to Jason, here, is Dave Kloc, the designer of this amazing album cover for Jonah Ray’s “Hello Mr. Magic Plane Person, Hello.”  Not only that, but Dave has designed every single poster for every single Meltdown show here in Los Angeles and, of course, on your TV screens.  We talk serious comedy addiction, art, and Mitch Hedberg this week.

Roy Wood, Jr. gives us a look into the world of stand-up, the world of acting on a successful sitcom, and some great perspective on what it’s like to work in comedy.  He also talks about one of his favorite albums by the great Doug Stanhope.

Live via vocal telegraph this week is none other than Peter Shickele, aka P.D.Q. Bach, J.S. Bach’s only forgotten son.  We discuss his career, his invention of the hardart, and even go back to the early days of record collecting, where nabbing a bunch of singles was your only option.  It was an honor and an insane amount of fun to speak with him.

Jeremy Carter is here to talk Cosby.  Not just Cosby, but Himself.  A seminal album, and one that has stuck with a number of a certain generation maybe more than his earlier work, wonderful as it is.  This is Bill Cosby’s dad “character,” which is a stretch as a term in this case, as refined as it ever got.  This is frustrated dad refusing to give up, but still accepting his fate.

Serious apologies while you wait for a full episode.  The heat wave is kicking our editing computer’s ass right now.  A new episode featuring Jeremy Carter of Superego is coming up soon!

Dan Bakkedahl of “Veep” is back in the studio to talk about Cheech & Chong.  We pitch out the autobiographical stuff and delve into the tracks we remember best, and revisit the ones that didn’t stick out.

The host of “The Green Room with Paul Provenza” and “Set List” here in LA, sits down with me to talk about Robert Klein.  Not only is this a slice of the 1970’s, it’s Klein’s progressive voice without entitlement, but with a heavy degree of acceptance that being progressive is just the way it is.  We also discuss Paul’s first time on stage – at a Robert Klein show.  That story is worth the whole hour.
