Josia Elliott comes on the show to talk about David Cross's emotionally-charged "Shut Up, You Fucking Baby."  Replete with track titles from some imaginary stand-up set, this album is a great time capsule, and still really relevant.  It also had a vinyl

Matt Belknap co-founded AST Records and co-hosts Never Not Funny with Jimmy Pardo.  We talk about how Steven Wright started Matt off on a world of live comedy, doing stand up, producing comedy, and break down Steven Wright's not-quite-one-liner style. H

Kliph Nesteroff is one of the great comedy historians of today, for the same reason he picked a comedian you haven't heard of.  Dick Davy has all the lasting strength of many of the great comedians from the late 60s you already know, which made this a re

Will Byrne runs the fantastic Military Moments podcast, and comedy runs in the family (Will was his brother Steve's.stand-in on "Sullivan & Son").  He picked Billy Crystal's only album, a snapshot of the 80s, catch-phrase-comedy, and how a comic mixed st
