S01E23: Dave Paterson

Time for some prenebriation with DAVE PATERSON.

Long-time friend of the show Dave Paterson shows up. Thanksgiving’s bonus episode was so good we had him back. He even admits that he had a good time. Why? Because Ian’s still on the naughty-stoop. So we bring in stand-up stand-in Todd Graham. We do a New Year’s Warm-up and Wind-Down and Talk About:

– How we got a shout-out in Now Magazine for being a half-decent comedy podcast. We thank them.
– We talk about how we fared purchasing gifts this past year
– We get ready for the New Year talking about parties, drink, food, etc
– We wrap up looking at 2010 and examine the best and worst that the year had to offer for comedy, film, and television. Our opinions only.

Enjoy and have a great New Year! See you in 2011!

Remembering Jocko Alston

As you may remember Jocko Alston was the very first guest we had on this podcast.

On Wednesday, Dec 22/10, we received word that he passed away suddenly. Not much is known at this point regarding a lot of the details, but we hope the best for his family that remain. We will keep you posted on any tributes or fundraisers of any kind in this regard, so please watch our Facebook page and Twitter feeds for details.

Know that the funds raised from the Dec 30th show will go towards his child. Details to follow.

Thanks to Dave Paterson and Darcy Fiander for the help with this. It’s a small tribute to a great man.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for everything, Jocko. You are missed.
