It’s our 200th episode!!! Congratulations to, umm… us!!! Yay!!! We’re trying something a little different this week. Instead of preparing a huge elaborate show/celebration, we went low-key and didn’t plan a damned thing. That’s why there are no Show Links or New Releases listed below. We’ll return to our regular format next time. I was a little apprehensive. No, scratch that… I was incredibly apprehensive about doing a show with no pre-planned topics or segments. But as you’ll discover, there was nothing for me to worry about. I should’ve known better. Especially after 200 shows. We have the gift of gab. We are chiefs of chat, bosses of blather, masters of the yak if you will. Filling an hour with random conversation is beyond second nature to us.
A whole spectrum of topics awaits you. For starters, Charlie throws out a random shout out which ends as abruptly as it begins. Then it’s onto a couple of E-Mails (the only predetermined part of this episode). This is where the randomitity picks up. More random than that word I just created. Charlie shares several short stories with us from being kicked out of a parking lot by a scary Russian guy, to mistaking Australian people for British people while doing his stand-up. This then leads to a critique of Pippa Middleton’s forehead.
Why not throw in a random movie review of JOHN CARTER while we’re at it? That’s thrown off by an announcement from Arnold Schwarzenegger that he’s pregnant. Which then turns our attention to Snooki. Charlie asks nicely to change the subject within a matter of seconds, so we do.
I could sit here and write out every thing that comes up and why, but that’s really for you to find out by listening to the show. I don’t want to spoil the fun. Listen in and find out why I’m posing the way I am in the photo above. Hear more of our thoughts on Apple’s new iPad, what we had for breakfast, Jennifer Garner’s career, the return of ‘The Bowel Movement’ and lots lots more. Hopefully this’ll all hold you over for a couple of weeks. We’ll be off next Sunday, but our April Fool’s show returns on the 1st and we’ve got new shows for the whole month!
Thanks to everyone for listening and showing your support… here’s to another 200!

Kevin Jordan is the first comedian featured on our INTERVIEW show that used to be a cop! Jordan was born and raised in Queens, New York.

After leaving the badge behind, Kevin began headlining at comedy clubs and corporate events across the nation. He’s performed in all 50 states and has done over 100 USO shows for every branch of the military.

Charlie takes a little trip to Somerville this week. Michael Somerville, is a comedian, writer and host. Not bad for a guy who tried stand up simply because he was dared to get on stage. That would seem to be the end of it. But after moving to New York for an advertising job, and getting tired of shaving everyday, Michael decided to give performing another go.
You’ve probably seen Michael on TV or perhaps read something he’s written. He’s currently the writer and host of, WINGMAN, a series on the Fine Living Network. He also hosted Nick at Nite’s ROAD CREW and the Encore network’s, WHAT GUYS WANT. He’s also appeared on Comedy Central, VH1, Bravo and NBC. Aside from television, Michael Somerville also has a column in Glamour magazine called, “Jake: A Man’s Opinion.”
Somewhere in all of this, Somerville found time to release a comedy CD titled, WELCOME TO SOMERVILLE and is currently working on LOVE, SOMERVILLE, a web series with over a million views so far. Oh yeah, and he still tours the country doing stand-up. In fact, he was named one of the “10 Hottest NYC Comics to Watch” by Improper Magazine.
