Join Mike in the studio late on a Saturday night…

…where he recalls the time he scammed himself a free pizza from Domino’s (unsuccessfully), and talks about “Inventing Anna”, a Netflix series showcasing the millennial scam culture. Also, more scams of the rich and famous, and another trip to the Video Street Video Store!

Show notes: Why does improvisational theatre get such a bad rap? Two improv-themed shows on Netflex: “Middleditch and Schwartz” and “Don’t Think Twice”; the history of improv and negative impressions; the time I embarrassed myself in an improv class with the Second City (it still makes me cringe to this day); lightning struck a tree outside my house this week; Music Break*; a toast to Regis Philbin, who passed away this week at 88; “Live with Regis and Kathy Lee” and “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”; cool guys in 80’s films; Video Street Video Store**; hindsight is 2020, like the year.

Show notes: Kids drinking from glass bottle cokes elicit angry reactions from the old guard; generation gaps; it seems like my friends and I are just grown-up children, or maybe not; Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which I visited last year and thought was so beautiful,, is otherwise known as “Helltown, USA” due to urban legends of monsters and satanic cults; Music Break*; “Unsolved Mysteries” returns to Netflix in a very stripped-down, non exploitative, and boring form; Video Street Video Store**; ending the show abruptly due to audio issues.  

*Music Break: “State of Mine” by The Crevulators; “Out All Night” by The Riptones All music is played under a Creative Commons License (Attribution, noncommercial, no derivatives) and is available at the Freemusicarchive.org. 

**Video Street Video Store: “1982 World’s Fair”

This episode experienced some major audio issues. The music is mixed way louder than it sounded on my headphones. Thank you for your patience, and I will continue to work these bugs out and come out with a cleaner show next week.

Backing music for tonight’s episode: “Hendrixy Slow Blues Backing Jam Track” (YouTube); “Blues in A Minor Backing Track” (Gilad Perry); Petti Music Studios (CCO 1.0 Universal, attribution, non-commercial, share-alike).
