the Mascot Wedding show Podcast: 07/25/09

Episode 83: Mac and David are feeling the heat. Some talk about a dumb commercial and a story about the magic boys getting their minds blow. A man calls in about a celebrity deathpool. Plus, keeping score in Facebook, dumb sports commenters, and DJ apprentice Hupp! This show is the reason your radio looked so happy the other day.

“Everybody’s Born to Die” by ELO, off the album On the Third Day

Mascot Wedding has a facebook group riiiiiiiiiiight here. After two days of existence it had more members than our myspace page which has been up for about a year. We mentioned the facebook gorup on the radio and since then, our myspace membership has now crawled ahead of the facebook numbers. That’s not supposed to happen because how dead is myspace right? Oh man, so dead. Myspace is so dead. Oh man it’s dead.

Anyway, join one or the other please. Either take a stab at newscorp or continue my confusion. Either way.

Tomorrow the Mascot Wedding show with David and Mac returns to the airwaves as demanded by natural law. One thing we won’t be talking about it this. Go ahead watch it. It’s the infomercial for the “Gathering of Juggalos”. The four-day (really? four fucking days?) Woodstock for fans of the Insane Clown Posse, aka human garbage, scum, life trash, etc. It’s truly awfulsome. I was going to talk about it, in length, on the show. I had my notes all ready because there’s so much to rip apart.

Then someone told me Tom Scharpling already carved it up on this week’s Best Show. Noooooooooooooo! Some might say, Mac, you haven’t listened to their take on it yet, why not do yours? Well, we’ve already taken so many cues from Tom in our show’s creation, I can’t knowingly repeat a topic of his, even if I did find it on my own. Besides it was Tom and Paul F. Thompkins… what chance do I have?

It really is just so dreadful. I’m looking forward to listening to Tom and Paul’s discussion because dear god… so bad. Comedy radio talk shows exist in a fast-paced, first-to-market world, folks.

Anyway, we have plenty of other stuff to talk about on the air, including this, so tune in tomorrow from 6-7 PM CST on 91.7 FM KOOP or streaming world wide at koop.org.

Mac and David continue to pass radio wisdom to their DJ apprentice Hupp. The boys barely discuss The Hurt Locker. Some Golden Crisp talk, a Mascot Wedding ticket interview and a game of “I remember this being better.”

Mascot Wedding and Master Pancake destroy Independence Day (Again)!

ID4
Do you love freedom but have a crippling fear of fireworks? Are you allergic to barbecue? Did you settle out of court with your local public pool because of that unfortunate “shirtless discrimination” case? Then we have just the thing for your 4th of July holiday!

This weekend only, July 3rd-5th, Mac and David of Mascot Wedding will be joining Master Pancake Theater to obliterate the 1996 “classic” Independence Day at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz. This is an encore presentation of last year’s sold-out shows.

This show is running for ONE WEEKEND ONLY. Get your tickets while you can, because it’s only a matter of time before actual aliens come and destroy us all. Then you’re really gonna feel like a real shit for missing this show.

Tickets available at the Alamo Drafthouse web site

UPDATE Both shows Friday (7/3) have already sold out. That only leaves you THREE chances to see this show. Hurry, damn you!

REMINDER: Because of these shows there will be no Mascot Wedding show this week on KOOP. When describing how this makes you feel it’s okay to use the word “devastated”.
