Super Dave Osborne Uncut!

Here's some stuff from the phoner with Super Dave Osborne (Bob Einstein) that didn't make the final cut:



I agolopize for the number of times I go "ummm". We'd been on the air for over 3 hours, and I'd been up for 22 hours. So my brain was pretty near mush. I eventually forgot the station's phone number too, even though I'd repeated it about a dozen times throughout the night. Long nights.

I've uploaded the actual interview AGAIN, but this time to podomatic, with a little intro by DJ Tic who kindly aired the interview on Wednesday morning. Thanks!

You can play the full interview off that little "widget" thing on the sidebar.

Or check out this link: Here

So there you go, your entire Super Dave fix all in one place, all for a price you surely can't afford! I mean, ZERO dollars is a lot of money these days, especially with the financial markets and such...

Woo-WOO Train Wreck Comin' Through!

Alright, so Brian and I sorta went live-to-stream on Friday night and Saturday afternoon with the men's hockey games...HUGE emphasis on sorta.

Good times, bad times, and all the times in between. Needless to say we had technical difficulties, but I look forward to doing it again in the new year, now that we completely understand the equipment we're using. It's kinda a long story, so I won't get into details here...HOWEVER Brian and I may re-hash the weekend in hockey broadcasting on the Tuesday Overnight-er:

Brian and I will be going live to air on CKCU 93.1 FM for the Tuesday Overnight-er, from 2AM to 6AM. That technically means early, early, early morning Wednesday morning 2-6 AM. Comprende?

Set your alarm clocks, calibrate your radios, add another coat of wax to your computers, mark your calendars:

Wednesday November 26th: 2AM - 6AM

It is once again a one-off deal, but don't let that deter you from listening, we've been preparing for this since before you born (if you were born within the last 3 days).

Super Dave Osborne and Publicists

Station program director Dave S. was kind enough to setup an interview for me with Super Dave Osborne (Bob Einstein) on Friday, November 14th, 2008.

This was my first "real" interview...I guess.

As far as I know, it is set to air Wednesday, November 19th, 2008, between 7:00AM and 9:30AM. Check it out:



A few things I learned:

1. Never trust publicists.

Here are some of the emails sent prior to the interview:

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 12:34 PM:
Bob is hoping the focus of the questions will be on the DVD collection and SDave, not so much about Curb Your Enthusiasm or Arrested Development. * Just a heads up.

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 2:17 PM
News Flash - Bob is now insisting in doing all the interviews in character - as Super Dave.

Well, being the gullible guy I am, I assumed that the publicist had actually asked Bob whether that was his preference or not. However, the first thing Bob does once we get on the air is break character and start talking about Smothers Brothers and Curb and Arrested Development. He didn't want to do the interview in character at all...I was pitching him questions that were right in his wheel house ("Got any Super Dave Safety Tips for the kids out there?" - Bob starts talking about politics). News Flash - Publicists are morons.

It's funny, because originally all my questions were going to be about his career as a whole, his relationship to his brother, Albert Einstein (Al Brooks), and his break into comedic writing (he's had an amazing career).

I get these emails from his publicist saying he doesn't want to focus on the other projects going on in his life. So I went back to the drawing board and only prepared questions that his character, Super Dave, would answer, and the first thing he busts out is, "Oh, I'm not a real stunt man."

I had to cut up the interview a little bit, make it more radio friendly...but lesson learned: Never trust publicists.

2. Always book extra studio time.

The interview was first set for Thursday 1:00-1:15, then changed to Friday 12:00-12:15. Studio was booked for 11:30 to 12:30...plenty of time right?

I ended up getting the call at around 12:30 or so...and had to cut into someone else's studio time.

3. Don't quit day job.

My interviewing skills are pretty non-existent. Nevertheless, I hope someone enjoys this interview.

Anyway, Bob's a nice guy, has a new DVD coming out at the end of this month, so if you're a fan of the show, pick it up.

Todd Van Allen and Dom Pare

Finally got around to editing together the third pilot. You can listen to it on the front page podcast...or...

Download here: Pilot Episode #3 - Todd Van Allen - 30 min - 27 mb

This episode has a lot less gimmicks, but we do play some Sons of Freedom...fuckin' right.

Big thank you goes out to Todd Van Allen who came to the studio just before going over to do a set at AC. We talked for over an hour, but I had to cut it down...such is life.

Check out his website, and myspace. I have to say I spend a decent amount of the week living vicariously through Todd Van Allen. He's always got a lot on the go, between his podcasts, and blog postings, his twitter...actually, he recently performed a whole set via twitter at the Riv in Toronto. Talk about progressive stuff...I still can't get my webcam to work. In any case, his website has a full list of all the places he'll be in the near future, check him out.
_______________________

Apart from that, I hosted the Wednesday overnighter with my man Brian (B-Kom or Be-Calm) from 2AM to 6AM. We were all ready to pack up when we got a call saying we'd be on for another hour. At this point we were pretty burnt out, no material left, so I threw on the first episode (w/ Dom Pare) of LL from 6:30 to 7:00AM. Not sure if it's the best time to hear about stand-up comedy, but hey, what are you gonna do?

Hopefully someday I'll get all these episodes on the air...might even work on the Mike Daly episode this weekend...but don't count on it. Last time I said that it took me 9 weeks to finish TVA's episode...aye...what an embrassment.

In any case, see you in the unfunny papers (that's where I'll be).

Wednesday Overnight-er

Brian and I went live to air on Wednesday night.

Date aired: Thursday, November 6th, 2008.

Download:

Part 1 - 42 min - 39 mb

President Polk's Polka Party - 30 min - 28 mb

Part 2 - 34 min - 30 mb

If you prefer streaming, simply check out the frontpage for the podcast.
We're looking forward to getting back on the air soon. We had a rough start, but hit our stride at around 3:30 AM, then we hit the wall at around 5:30 AM.

Brian took care of the music for the most part because I don't know half as much about it as he does. We'll have to start posting playlists from the shows...he plays a little bit of everything.

Special thanks goes to former President of the United States of America, James K. Polk, for coming out and filling in some time while I took care of some business elsewhere.

Edit: PS - We weren't able to simulcast on justin.tv - the wireless connection really isn't strong enough in there, so we'll have to see if we can figure something else out.

A face for radio, and a voice for telegram.

Good news ladies and gentleman, young and old, folks and folkers.

We will be going live to air on CKCU 93.1 FM for the Wednesday overnighter, from 2AM to 6AM. That technically means early, early, early morning Thursday. But it also means that if you are up kinda late on Wednesday night, you can tune in to the station. Catch my drift. It's a one off thing, not a regular shift, and also once in a lifetime oppurtunity to win some oven mitts.

If you're out of listening range, the station streams over the interweb in both mp3 and realmedia formats, check this shit out, son: Linkage

Also, I will be attempting to simulcast on justin.tv at the same time, so you can tune in and see me and Brian (the co-host) pick our noses on the job through the webcam (hopefully):



I don't think there is anything else...oh except donate! Either call in during the show (613-520-2528) or use the Secure Online Pledge Form

We might probably will maybe be taking calls too...maybe probably kinda so-so. For those of you who enjoy fun - and let's face it people, who doesn't? (I don't - kidding! See! That was fun.) - this will be a night to remember.

I think that's it.
