Carnival Personnel

Jacques, Joe and Biff reconvene after more than a month since the last regular episode! Jacques talks about serving on a jury, only to be banished to the Phantom Zone as an alternate juror; spending an evening with Stormy Daniels (on tour); working with legendary comic Ken "The Viper" Rogerson; and his cross-country road trip with former Sideshow guest Woody. Biff brings Jacques up to speed on the current NHL playoff picture (and Joe, too, if he was listening). Plus TV and movie stuff, and Resident Evil new and old is discussed. Hope you didn't miss us too much!

One of our favorite IG content creators, New England Dad aka comedian Zach Remi is this week’s guest.

 

Been following New England Dad a while and by the fates of stand up, Jacques was on a fundraising show recently with Zach and now … this week’s very fun guest.

 

We chat life balance between social media content creation, stand up … and being a dad … and we chat Will Noonan’s luscious head of hair.

Jacques chat with one of the nicest comics he’s met in his LA travels the last three years, Tanissia Sprull!

 

Tanissia comedy is very real and personal. 

 

Born to army parents on a base in German … to today, Tanissia has never had a boring life!

 

This was a fun chat but we shoul have stared with Beyonce I think!

The whole gang is here to talk the record-breaking time from celebrating the US Men’s Hockey Gold Medal to wishing Canada had won it … or ANYONE ELSE.  On other hand, extreme happy for US Woman’s ice hockey and another great story from figure skating.

 

Jacques GameStop credit card is 39.9% interest!  How is that legal … oh right, grifter and chief has done away with all oversight and consumer protections.

End Song: Open Window by Dan Cray (with Beyond Id) live Jam Jan 2026

Comedian, content creator and singer of Boston’s long lost (beloved) hardcore bank Drop Anchor is this week’s super fun guest.

 

Ryan’s comedy is just like his mothers comedy (who was a stand up during the comedy boom in the 80’s) except … Ryan’s funny and his moms comedy (according to his friend) is unwatchable,  Note: we’d still love to have her on as a quest.

 

Ryan’s social media is a mix of funny stand up clips, tips on how to be a stand-up comic without being a whinny D-Bag and music recommendations.  A true “must follow” on the socials.

 

Ryan has a super fun live show called, “Hate What You Love” where he has comics come on and do a set and then watch a music video they love from their youth and he breaks down why it sucks and destroys a precious childhood memory … BRILLANT.

Ending Songs: Drop Anchor – Boston Full 7” (on youtube)

Gluttony thy name is an unregulated buffet line at an American Legion Hall Comedy Show. 

 

Let’s face it … nothing IS more American then stuffing your face and not giving a sht if they person behind you even gets a god damn crouton!

 

That’s the majority of this episode … Jacques whining to Joe on behalf of the 65-70% of people who didn’t get ANYTHING to eat (and there was nothing on the menu Jacques could eat anyway) … at his Valentine Day Comedy Show.  But hey, at least they  made it up to the people with empty tummies by giving them free booze … what could go wrong?

 

Chatted couple great shows … some Olympic stuff … try to limit the sky is falling George Orwell 1984 talk …

End Song: Where U Been by Dan Cray (with Beyond Id) live Jam Jan 2026

Jacques, Biff and Joe open the show with their fondest Catherine O'Hara memories. The thrill seems to be gone for them in the lead-up to the Big Game between New England and Seattle, and they can't seem to avoid politics when discussing sporting events like the Winter Olympics and upcoming FIFA World Cup.

WARNING: Jacques tells two corny jokes at the top of the show. Listener discretion is advised.

What an amazing chat with truly one of the most interesting persons I’ve meet in the music biz in a long time,

 

Madeline Bocaro in her early teens became pen pals with pop culture icon, Yoko Ono an over the last 50 decades their friendship let to her writing, “In Your Mind, The Infinite Universe Of Yoko Ono. 

 

Madeline was part of the ground floors of (Jacques beloved) CMJ in the late 70s, was a fixture at the birthplace of New Wave, Alt Rock – the mecca that was CBGB’s, and continues to write her awesome music block, Madelinex.com (LOVE her curated themed playlist.)

 

Super shout out (Musician, Songwriter, music historian and long-time major label catalog producer) – former sideshow guest, the lovely and talented, Mr. Mike Ragogna for co-hosting this one!
