Duck Calls? We have answers. On the record. DUCK DUCK DOWN Two men walk into a bar. It is at this point in the joke  a spectator stands UP from the crowd, having seen something and wishing to report, and says : “Why are they men?“ And the Comedian says, “I’m sorry, but this is a sexist joke.”  *** Greatest fear: someone will shout "Duck" whilst I'm looking at a duck and I am then hit by a random flying ...

Last Call for the Three Comedians The melancholic comedian considered the puzzle of existence.  The listener doesn’t know. The ins and outs. He considered the audience, melancholic, dour, hard to please. Their lack of humor saddened him and effected his presence, a poor reflection upon them.

It stood at about 8 1/2 inches, which wa...

The More than True podcast returns with a vintage story about spies, Russians, shoes, USA electoral politics, and raisins.

This is a demo for a radio program from about two years ago. Henry Rollins was not harmed during the recording of this show, nor was the Dalai Lama. Also, a song is sung. (MP3 at the end after the two bonus Dalai Lama stories. The audio is different than the stories.) Post Papal Nirvana Blues by David Raffin davidraffin.com Is a retired Pope “Pope” or “ex-Pope"?
