For the next three weekends, Mascot Wedding’s Mac Blake and David Jara will join with Master Pancake Theater (John Erler and Joe Parsons) for their movie-mocking run of E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial at the downtown Alamo Rtitz theater here in Austin, TX.
Mascot Wedding has teamed with Master Pancake before during their runs of Roadhouse and Conan the Barbarian and now with E.T. will perform a comedy track over a movie that’s actually good. If you’re worried that this improvement in quality will lessen the comedic punches, just remember that E.T. is still a movie about a boy and his magical space-penis that’s actually a Jesus figure who likes to get lit on Coors. Sound the feasting horn!

Hey folks. 91.7 KOOP FM is currently in the midst of the spring membership drive, our on-air fundraising campaign. Without the support we get from our listeners during these drives, KOOP would not be able to stay on the air. So without your donations, we would not have a show. Due to the attack on KOOP earlier in the year, this might be our most important drive ever.
To try and sweeten the deal and encourage donations, David and I have cooked up a special donation premium for people who pledge during our show. In addition to the donation premiums that KOOP is already offering, everyone who pledges at least $25 dollars during our show will get a CD featuring exclusive material from myself and David; including a phone call we did on our pilot show and comedy bits recorded just for this premium.

And hello to the fastest 45 minutes in radio! That’s right, the Mascot Wedding show with David and Mac is expanding by 50%. We will now be 45 minutes long.
Slappy Pinchbottom, programmer of “The Odd Preoccupation” which follows our show on the New Power Thursday line-up, has conceded 15 minutes of his show so he can spend more time on other projects. Will the rest of KOOP follow suit, tumbling like a trail of luxurious dominoes to the steel curtain influence of Mascot Wedding? Probably.
Thanks to Slappy for the extra time and check us out today at 3PM to see how we use it.
Episode 012: After signal failures kept two great shows in a row off the air, David and Mac finally broadcast uninterrupted and they turn in a stinker as they have to fight through technical problems. Good night! The boys continue to get annoyed at their forced corporate toadying. Valentine’s day talk. A police chief calls the show looking for another cop.
