The Dork Forest

My guests are paper dork, Jim Coughlin and Monique Moreau, fan of different orders of nuns. Yes. Nuns. And Paper. (Twitter feeds @xandrique and @mrjimcoughlin on twitter). Both are comics and Monique is the keyboardist for awesome dorkband™ Ogre Mage. That ™ isn’t real. Enjoy.

 

Notes:

I SAY I get the whole A4 thing… but I don’t entirely.

Wendy is a marching band/TV dork and Scott loves 80’s music. Neither of them gets to talk much about their topics because there’s a technical problem early on and then we digressed so far off of their topics… and I didn’t get them back. So I will have them back on. I will say, it was fascinating to just listen to them. I hope you enjoy.

 

(uh… he was in the Winds of War. ha@! #dorkashian)

Jeff Conaway craziness? Looks like it might have been.

– this looks great! And if you come to LA… famous people!

Dorking out on the 80’s LA Style! I have no images… there are so many.

– it got POLITICAL!

This one goes short and I’ll have them back!

My guests are stand up comic (just did Letterman!) and comic (who has a great podcast @the40yearoldboy). It’s easily the fastest hour fifteen ever! Mike loves chaos and comics (pre 1990) and Michael gets to talk somewhere near the end (cuz I talk a lot about chaos too) about Harry Potter and it’s awesome. I push again. Enjoy!

My guests were my traveling companions for the last couple weeks in Africa and the Middle East. was the author of this tour and then got hurt and had to fly home before the end of the tour. So we're debriefing him a bit... and, not on this episode, our other traveling companion,  kept on. Because, in the military, it's "no one left behind." In comedy, it's "sure. We’ll go on." and then, belatedly, "the show must go on." Alycia will have rebuttal time when I’m in NY or figure out to record via Skype!

 

Disclaimer… I express opinions about other people’s standup comedy and, as we know… all comedy is awesome and everyone’s journey is fantastic. But podcasts are people occassionally saying things they regret. When it was live there was all kinds of that... it seems cheating to edit it out. So, welcome to a less attractive part of my brain. I just love some things that were said OFF stage that I wish, and I get to wish, would be said ON stage.

 

Thanks for listening. Take care of each other out there, Jackie

 

Notes:

Hotel

There is video of Vargus… uh… that’s up to him to post.

It’s another Dork Expedition out and about. We meet dorks in their natural habitat! works at and her mom (Janet Winter) owns . We wander.

 

I didn’t edit this AT ALL before going to the Middle East. My use of language in this episode is randomly inaccurate. Fantastic. I just let Pat sound fix this so it’s more meander-y than I might have let it be if I edited. I hope you enjoy it. I had a blast. At Image it’s chatty with a lot of us talking … and I have a hard time leaving and it digresses into lunch talk.

 

Then we go to the toy store and talk about toys. At length. At the end of the interview we find out that Janet designs costumes and then it’s back to CONS… more convention talk. Obviously... sitting down with Branwyn's mom, in the future, to get some dork history, is in order.

 

Notes:

(video of a baby doing this)

We lunch in Berkley at a great restaurant:

– Don sells dice.

(actually a chain of motels)

. (Drew Oliver is the owner & I bought friends syphilis and penicillin).

Janet Winter’s costume books - and

And… it ends abruptly. There’s gonna be a learning curve on these expeditions. Thanks for listening! Take care out there. Jackie

I’m in the dining room of Convention dork and his lovely wife , who used to write a LOT of Fan Fiction… based on characters that Russell Crowe played. I love it when I pretend to know things. There was so much we didn’t get to… got to have them back!

 

Notes:

– Henry Winkler

Toronto Dome: Rogers Centre

Fan Fiction – the link from Rosie is just a R.C. FF site

– movie

– the Russell Crowe fanfic board!

I can’t find the LDS writer’s program.

– and it gets creepy.

… National Association of Music Merchants

 

He must come back on and tell me about more conventions!

 

Bob suggests

Rosie is reading:

And both of them …

 

App Bonus Note:

I think I use the word “extrapolated” wrong… you can get the app and listen to the two minutes that IS bonus…and tell me. Sigh.

My guest today is Stand Up Comic, Musician and Writer… check out the links… It turns out she is great imaginary friends with Sandy Bullock. She’s hilarious and fascinating. I try to out talk her. She held her own, so it’s a good one.

 

Notes:

– I love the “hot” friend who has to act dumb but is smart.

– Uh… The Hills. Okay.

Headshots – what I MEANT was hard copies of headshots. I have , of course.

I still can’t remember the NBA player I’m thinking of who gambles.

– no picture!

Today I talk with and about autographs, bands, religion and serendipity. It’s a good one. I know I say that every time. This even ran long!

 

Notes:

– VH1

–

– weirdly Eric Johnson who played Flash, was on Smallville!

– PS3 or Wii will also work with Netflix.

– not enough scientific information in this…

Scientology – I’d link it but I feel like there’d be a knock on my door.

I bring up again and Jon Hamm came up again.

I’m reading – it’s pretty great. 

 

Seriously… we could have kept going for another hour. I gotta have both of them back! Thanks for listening. Take care of each other out there, Jackie

 

App Bonus Note:

I stopped recording and Andy went and pounded on the door. Scared me a bit. Oh, the hilarity of men. He is, if you don't know, outstanding in his field.

My guests today are, voice actor and cartoon dork , and local guy and VH1 talking head show dork, .  We bonded on film, the joy of diners and then… we talk about comedy. Again. And I enjoyed it.

 

Notes:

I said “percentage of the watchers” fantastic. English is my first Language. - where is she now?

Tony Dimond’s FIRST great invention? I forgot to ask during the show and the real answer is, according to Tony is… Direct Deposit!

– owned by the Indigo Girls

 

Tony recommends … a website that gathers information
