In the early 21st Century, my friend Mike Carlson and I produced a podcast that no one heard, for the most part. Believe it or not, these are the good excerpts. Most of them are fake commercials, fake show segments, or ridiculous songs. Enjoy. |
| Buffalo Grill--Here's an ad for the only restaurant in town that offers a service plan. Finally, all the flavor of a precooked steak with the service of a appliance retailer. |
| Sorry I Cheated--This song could be any meat-headed frat boy's anthem. |
| Northeastern Driver Training Academy--I tell you, one or two thousand bad apples ruin things for everybody. |
| L-Kwon--The premier psychic hotline. |
| Jim Dandy's Chrysler Jeep--This one is almost to close to the truth. Listen to those quality sound effects. |
| Alienease--Finally, a product I think we could all use. The opening line pretty much summarizes where this is going. |
| Dave Mustaine's Poetry Slam--This segment is a little bit of an inside joke among Mike and I. You can be inside too by listening to any Megadeth album and understanding how horrible and odd Mustaine's lyrcicism and vocal timbre are. There are ninety-nine ways to die, dude. |
| Bob's Discount Funeral Home--This fake commercial is essentially the piece that started it all. One lazy Sunday afternoon literally began with Mike saying, "let's record something." The rest is filler. That's Mike Carlson as the announcer. |
| Playing Lotto to Win--I'm sick and tired of money making schemes. It's time I got into some real investing. |
|
Pornstar Assistants--Finally a service that we can all use...seeing as how we're all pornstars. |
| Shezite--This baby is the sole creation of Mike Carlson. Pure genius. I'd put more of Mike's work up but: a) I am lazy and b) I am a ho. |
| Everyone's Got a Flamethrower |
| Everyone's In the Shower |
| Myan Gold Rush |
| Fake Conversational Spanish--During a trip home, Mike Carlson and I had the chance to collaborate on this sweet little number. As the title suggests, it's a fake ad for learning fake Spanish. |
| MetaboStop--Mike and I came up with the idea for a diet pill that causes you to puke up your food but stakes its claim as slightly more scientific than "puking." Mike drafted the script and I butchered some acting. |
A instant classic funk band featuring Jeff Janicki, Paul Van Altena, and myself. It's proof that I can't sing. But with lyrics like this, who needs tone? |
I Got Caught (Humpin' Your Girlfriend)--This brilliant original made insecure boys cringe and funkaholics freak every time we jammed. We recorded this in my basement on an old 8-track digital recorder I used to own. |
|
All She Wants Is My Money--This other brilliant original is a huge lie. I neither had money, nor did she want it. |
