[The Lost Episodes #29] Cy Amundson - #15

Long time listeners of our show may remember a period when Cy used to come into the studio like every other day. Before that period, he came in for the first time, right near the very beginning. So early, in fact, that we were still broadcasting out of Tom's basement because we weren't sure this show would last. Well it definitely lasted, as did the many episodes with Cy Amundson. And if the show goes for another twenty or so years, I might even have time to make a lost episode out of all of them. Learn more about your ad choices.

Siobhan Fallon Hogan - #2413

This is a Catholic episode, so to listen, you either need to be Catholic or hold a rosary the entire time. Sorry, that's the rule. It's in the bible somewhere I'm sure. You can also gain temporary favor with the Holy See by watching Siobhan's movie, Shelter In Solitude, which comes out on the 6th. Since the entire world is apparently on strike, you should have plenty of free time to watch movies. Learn more about your ad choices.

That Which Must Not Be Discussed - #2412

You know how they say there are two things you should never bring up in polite discussion: religion and politics? How about an entire hour of just those two things? That's right, we're going Full Impolite. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices [https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices]

Frank Caliendo - #2411

Frank's back, and this time he's in person. After all, he is live at Acme today and tomorrow. He's also a modern day philosopher. Bet you didn't know that part, did you? It's true. We discuss topics like raising children, education, and the definition of "comedy". And we all do it in Donald Trump's voice. Well, one of us did. We'll let you guess who.

The AI Also Writes - #2410

The strike seems to finally be coming to a close maybe, even though they just added video games to the pyre. We speculate that you'll be seeing a lot of "no AI" clauses in contracts in the near future. It won't write our shows, it won't act, but it will diagnose and treat your medical problems. I don't know, something about giving a robot access to scalpels and anesthetic drugs seems a lot more concerning than letting one write a TV show, but our societal priorities are a bit off lately.
