An Actor, A Comedian And A Musician Walk Into A Bar

Greg and Nick welcome actor and musician David Anders to the second week of LIVE FROM BLUE MICROPHONES STUDIOS! David followed Greg in both Alias and Heroes, but his talents have carried him all the way to this podcast! Don't tell his publicist. David is a master of accents, British high society uses the term "landing strip", jobs magically come when applying for college, Ricky Gervais doesn't get the invite from Greg and David to Hugh Laurie's birthday party, and a very special impromptu performance of Al Green from David and Nick! 

The guys take a field trip to the Blue Microphones studios in Westlake, CA and bring in comedian Nick Thune! Nick started a charity golf event for his son's eczema, Greg needs a support group to stop him from getting political, comparisons of "Paterno" and "Dirk Diggler", Nick's old friend disappeared after pooping his pants, growing up on uncool music, Australian pop bands, and Nick performs the very routine that got him into stand-up comedy! Warning... there will be Blue Microphones plugs!

The guys welcome actor and voiceover mega-star Phil Lamarr to the bar! From the original cast of Mad TV, Marvin from Pulp Fiction, and now the voice of cartoon characters that include Futurama's Hermes Conrad, Family Guy's Ollie Williams and Judge, Samurai Jack, and so many more, this impressionable episode leaves nothing behind! Alcoholism, all boy's schools, Comic Cons, Phil's terrible experience with Gus Fring and his failed attempt at stand-up in South Africa are discussed! Also a very entertaining character roulette featuring Phil's famous voices answering political questions. DON'T MISS IT!

On this very special episode of An Actor, a Comedian and a Musician Walk Into a Bar, the guys welcome actor Jay Abdo and his wife Fadia Afashe for a more serious and VERY important podcast. Jay and Fadia were a famous and successful couple in their native country of Syria before they spoke out against the cruelty and genocide under Assad's rule, and had to seek refuge in America. They are currently on a hunger strike to raise awareness about the inhumane treatment of Syrian citizens caught in the midst of civil war and want to bring much more media exposure to this crisis. Listen to their incredible story, and be sure to spread awareness using the hashtag #hungerstrike4syria.

Greg and Nick welcome The Bachelor/ The Bachelorette/ Bachelor in Paradise/ Bachelor Winter Games/ Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host Chris Harrison to the bar! Er... to Greg's living room! And, as a huge bonus, director of all the shows Ken Fuchs stops by for a surprise visit in their first ever interview together. The guys discuss "The Switch" made by Arie, Clint Eastwood watches The Bachelor, Chris was kicked off Facebook, the authenticity of reality TV, and is Yuki living in Chris' basement right now? We dive deep into the secrets of the Bachelor franchise and have our own rose ceremony at the end, so DO NOT MISS IT!! Kirk returns next week.

The guys welcome a homeless man to the bar... wait no... that's incredible actor Joseph Reitman! A fellow Max Reload alum, as this podcast is obligated to promote at this point, Joe Ugly joins the guys for talks about dating strippers, concussions from football, poker, Joe's ex wife Shannon Elizabeth, the stock market, Joe's days of dealing coke and meth, and his new show Happy on SyFy! Greg eats the loudest food possible with pistachios. Sorry...

The guys welcome comedy superstar Christopher Titus to the bar! You better believe things are going to get controversial! Titus and Greg hate the current administration, Greg visits the Tiger Woods Learning Center and snuffs Bill Clinton, Billy Gardell is awesome (Nick loves a fellow Pittsburgher), and Christopher's movie Special Unit is discussed. Will you learn anything from this podcast? It's four guys in a bar... what do you think?

The guys welcome the lovely and talented actress Rebecca Field to the bar! Greg and Rebecca both appear in the upcoming Bradley Cooper/ Lady Gaga film "A Star is Born" and they might finally get this one right! The crew talks about Bradley Cooper, all meanings of bone broth, escape rooms, role play, virtual reality porn, David Caruso, and Greg is not a good hugger according to Kirk. Huge thanks to Rebecca for such a hilarious episode!

The guys welcome Food Network star Duff Goldman, the Ace of Cakes! While it could have been inspirational and heartwarming to talk about  the incredible career that Duff has made through his love of baking, that's just not what this podcast is! Duff's severed toes, Duff's feeling-less finger, fondant is cheating, Boy Scouts and Indian Guides (whatever that is), and Rex Tillerson are discussed this week! Also, listen to Duff play the bass... but not while singing. Join us for the ride.

Greg and Nick are so excited to have Lin Shaye join them in the bar! Lin, actress extraordinaire from the Insidious franchise, There's Something About Mary, Kingpin, Dumb and Dumber, Ouija, and so many more, bless us with her incredible stories of growing up to become one of the most versatile talents in Hollywood. The three discuss bonding with costars, amazing immigrants, growing up in Detroit, our dependence on technology, Lin's brother Bob Shaye (founder of New Line Cinema), and her great performances throughout her career. You DO NOT want to miss this interview!

Finally, a female guest is brave enough to overtake this bar! Actress Hassie Harrison arrives at the start, Greg can't hug her because he is sitting down, and they're off! The integrated crew discusses the "new" Olympics according to FOX News, flu season, shooting pilots (TV shows, not uniformed airline captains), Tanya Harding, Airbnb, and domestic violence. Huge thanks to Frosty Heidi Frank show on 95.5 KLOS for bringing Greg and Nick on this week, and welcome new listeners! No pilots were harmed during the making of this podcast...

The guys don't need a guest this week because there's just so much happening... Greg's yard is invaded by coyotes trying to kill his dog, so he is armored up to take them on! His wife makes a surprise phone-in appearance, everyone is making Super Bowl plans, Nick has never been to a strip club, and Kirk understands shallow graves. Nick performs an original at the end with a very Motown feel!

The guys are back together! They invite Wings star Steven Weber to the bar to really get into some heavy shit! Heavy like... Human Centipede heavy. Heavy like... his and Greg's vasectomy stories heavy. Heavy like... Steven's Korean War veteran/ comedy manager father heavy. Goat yoga (that's a thing), Don Rickles, and mustaches heavy!! Plus, Nick plays a sappy song with a blown-out voice. Enjoy!

Greg and Nick, no Kirk, welcome actor Rob Benedict to the bar for a Felicity reunion! In addition to being a fabulous actor, Rob is also a fabulous musician, so everyone will be treated to some great performances! Greg is still obsessed with harmony, where does bourbon whiskey really come from, Rob has great fans from his role on Supernatural, you can get weed in the supermarket in Cali, and what it's like to be an acting journeyman! Kirk will return next week!

No guest needed for this week's podcast, although child actor extraordinaire Brad Savage pops in for a second to talk about his past endeavors. The guys discuss stress, mormon underwear, Kirk with no mustache, a Teen Mom star who gets into adult films, flying cars, Greg making his son cook for him, tattoo removals, and many other un-related things. How does this all make sense? It doesn't... but come along for the ride! Nick performs an original that he recorded with music legend Nile Rodgers!

Greg and Nick welcome actor and musician Mark Hildreth to the bar! Mark is a ridiculous piano player/ singer, and blows the guys away with some Billy Joel, Elton John and a tasty original. The guys sip Cadee Rye as they discuss disabilities, England, Canadian actors, and a film that Mark and Nick both starred in... well, Mark at least starred in it.   P.S. if anyone has seen Kirk, please let him know we love him.

The guys welcome in the cast of the upcoming film "Max Reload and the Nether Blasters" for an on-air introduction! Greg, who will be producing the film and starring, brings everybody to the bar to get acquainted on the air as Kirk and Nick finangle their way into the project, as long as Kirk can see the script first. Everyone's favorite cult classics are revealed, and Nick still can barely get a word in. Co-directors and writers Scott Conditt and Jeremy Tremp join via Skype while actors Tom Plumley, Lukas Gage, Hassie Harrison, Joey Morgan, and Jake Grunberg join casting director Farrah West for this not-so-awkward first impression!

The bar is a sausage fest this week! Actor Kevin Weisman (The Runaways, Alias, Scorpion) and singer/ songwriter Oscar Bugarin join the guys for some killer live music by Oscar, plus everyone's artistic influences, the U.S. Military, getting to be a fly on the wall for cool conversations, and new underwear for Greg's son! Kirk hasn't bought new ones in a while...

The guys welcome special guest comedian Steven Brody Stevens to the bar. Jewish baseball players are in high demand, apple cider vinegar can help you poop, Google is tracking Steven's movements, and what exactly constitutes pedophilia? Does Steven's Periscope account have all the answers? Find out today!

While wildfires scorch the wilderness surrounding the bar, the guys crank up the heat to tell stories about meeting their flames, fire up the Skype line to take a call from one of Greg's fans, flare up the conversation about rescue dogs, and a group performance of a 70's tune goes up in smoke. Get it?
