  • Clowncast

    Each removed review will be worse than the other. There are too many ads that interrupt the conversation mid sentence or mid syllable. No one is listening to this dinosaur yak about absolutely nothing anymore.

  • A Downward Spiral

    The replays of old shows are good, but the new shows are awful! It’s listening to the remnants to a once great radio show - and podcast before Vic and Carl passed away - spiral into serious mental illness. The screaming, uninformed position on all things, and a so-called comic who isn’t funny make the show unlistenable. If it wasn’t for the old material I wouldn’t even pay any attention to it.

  • Unbelievable…bad

    This show is so bad. The exaggerated voices make no sense and are repulsive. There is attempt at comedy but the takes

    are bad. It sounds like a parody of a bad show.

Kelley Lynn's CREEPIEST Date Blew Our Minds
Q: What is the big plug today for your work beyond stand-up?

Grateful Dead Documentary - Best Last Year of Radio
Q: What do you want audiences to leave with after watching?
Audiences should come away sensing why the Dead's live experience mattered, how their ethos shaped a culture of sharing and improvisation, and why the film argues that the band's story is as relevant as ever in terms of creativity, community, and artistic integrity.
Grateful Dead Documentary - Best Last Year of Radio
Q: What was the biggest challenge in the production?
The biggest challenge was locating, securing, and organizing tens of thousands of hours of footage spanning decades, plus navigating permissions and the evolving relationship with the family and the band's inner circle, which ultimately shaped the film's structure.
Grateful Dead Documentary - Best Last Year of Radio
Q: Amir, tell us more about the movie and how you approached telling such a complex story.
I described the film as a long journey that had to honor both hardcore Deadheads and casual viewers, balancing generous archival access with a clear narrative arc that respects the band's experimentation, the era, and Jerry Garcia's personal story.
The Corpse Flower Stinks & Gross Public Pools
Q: As a marine biologist, how many alien bases have you seen in the ocean?
Chris explains there are no confirmed alien bases; he finds the topic fascinating but has no such stories, while focusing on credible marine science topics.
