Actor, Front-Man, Writer … and over all good guy – Gene Dante chats with Joe, Biff and Jacques about his love of acting, writing … and Paul Lynde!
From his European touring roll in Rocky Horror, to his Bauer hockey commercial, to his band (Gene Dante and the Future Starlets) new double album “DL/Ux” – it was a real fun and funny talk.
Is Gene the hardest working man in show business … maybe … but he really works pretty fucking hard and we’re jacked to seeing his band play Friday April 29th at Sonia in Cambridge with world famous Tragedy!

Is Joe stopping in to chat on this weeks’ podcast the highlight … Maybe. Maybe not. Is Joe’s Self-Indulgent Theater from Ep. 116 (10/7/19) a Don Adams/Don Knotts mash-up/duet of Ice Ice Baby the highlight … YES!
Biff, Joe and Jacques chat a couple tragic anniversaries this week … the 3/11/11 Eastern Japan Tsunami … as well as Jacques 2014 marriage anniversary to Management (which Biff was the officiant for (so this is HIS fault!)
Jacques points out what a rock star Joe was last week helping pull off another "Joe's Basement - Retro Video Game fundraiser (and show case) for Afternoon In The Arts (a Lowell Mass Jr High FREE program) at Mill #5 ... with our new best friends from Boom Boom Games and how a curve ball in 9th hour meant Jacques boys after getting off stage KILLED it running the make shift snack bar!!!!!!
The Ukrainian people and President Zelenskyy continue the braves fight vs Putin as Donny 3Scoops is now Don Quixote fighting Windmills (again).
THE BATMAN came out this week and cause Jacques gives it an 8 and not an 11 … sparks fly! Biff sort of points out the existence but doesn’t really recommend Sadako Channel on YouTube and Jacques totally DOES NOT recommend Guardians Of Justice on Netflix.

Where Putin’s calendar reads 1936 we asked Political Science professor from the University Of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, Doctor Chris Cook to come on and help try to make sense of a world that refuses to make any sense. Dr. Cook and Jacques cross paths years before in college … which Jacques has apologized for which Dr. Cook graciously accepted.
This is a supersized sideshow that has us wanting to see if we can zoom in to Professor Cooks classes the rest of this semester. He’s wicket smaht dude.
We’re hoping someone in the Biden administration listens to this episode and brings Professor Cook on board … we don’t know if any of that stuff in Ukraine can be fixed … but we’re sure he can help!
Professor Cook is a MUST follow on Twitter at @ProfessorCook

Jacques talks how AST is a good person and a good friend as he suggests the BBC show “The IT Crowd” and his 1981 Minnesota State Hockey playoff game on YouTube … and how Joe is a bad person who suggest he watch the (also a BBC show) Derek, because he knows it will make Jacques relentlessly cry … Niagara Falls Frankie!
Both agree SB halftime show was AMAZING … the Rams SB parade … um … Not so much.
Queen Elizabeth AND Beiber got Covid … just in time to stop testing and wearing masks at Jacques kid’s school. UGH.
Putin tries to return the USSR to its glory days (isn’t invading counties really so last mid-century?)
AGAIN … USA/Canadian woman’s hockey proves to be best rivalry in all of sports.
Jacques insist Biff watch Peacemaker on HBO Max. Is it a great show and one of Jacques favorites? It’s good … but the relentlessly playing and talking about 80s hair metal is right up Biff’s ally!

Nothing says happy Valentine’s day then listening to a podcast about Paul Lynde … I THINK!
Joe, Biff and Jacques talk about one of their all-time favorite television personalities, Paul Lynde with author Cathy Rudolph about her amazing relationship with and her book - Paul Lynde, A Biography. His Life. His Love(s). His Laughter.
From the crazy way 17-year=old high school junior Cathy accidently got Paul’s home number (and his willingness to chat with aa stranger for hours on the phone), to her (and her fathers) first improbable afternoon with Paul thru her close relationship with him the last 7 years of his life … this was a fun fun chat and really, we could have kept talking Paul Lynde a few more hours.
Joe who can read … read the book and came with tons of notes and questions … Jacques, NOT the best reader, bought and listened to the book twice this week.

BIG DAY … Duran Duran finally gets R & R HoF nom! Jacques insist all go watch Letterman on Late Night w Seth from last week but NEVER watch Mask Singer … not cause show sucks (which it does) but cause producers are D-Bags. Biff breaks down an adorable (not so much a high speed) police chase in rural Japan. Brady retires and goes out on some drama with Pats, Pats nation … totally expected and Brian Flores shining much needed light on NFL BS Rooney Rule! Biff’s watching Demonslayer S2 and Jacques binged Pennyworth and Boba Fett.
