Rollin' with Saget

In honor of our illustrious guest today, Mr. Bob Saget, check out this awesome tribute done by a one Jamie Kennedy.

Comedy Covers 9-12-07

Okay. For real this time. The next Comedy Covers show live at Carolines on Broadway is set for September 12th at 7pm. And we promise not to cancel!

The lineup is looking good with Jim Florentine, Pete Dominick, Mike Weingartner, Lynne Koplitz, Billy Mira, Joe Matarese, and Dan Naturman all coming by to pay tribute to their favorite bits. Even Brother's McMullen star Mike McGlone is going to drop by and do one, and there are hopefully going to be some major surprises!

Get your tickets now online, or call 212-757-4100.

He's baaaaaaaack!

Our fearless leader, the good Reverend Breuer, is officially back at the wheel! It's been an interesting couple of weeks with Pete "The Gator" Correale at the helm, and we had some amazing and hilarious shows. But needless to say, with Zookeeper Breu out of town, the Gator went a chompin'....

In the span of just 2 weeks, he managed to: Turn Lou into an angry steroid freak; Ambush Larry with a stand up comedy class; Subect poor Buffalo Bill (who was only trying to write a Best Man speech) to a good half hour of "short" jokes; Read and mock a personal card of mine; Completely destroy Pete Dominick's self-esteem; Oh and lets not forget -- Call Shaka "Denny Terio" and only permit him to speak while disco music was playing. For 2 full hours.

But not everyone who came in studio got bitten. Some guests got the softer side of Pete, like the multi-talented Mike McGlone, and director / musician Rob Zombie...



Or the always hilarous Ben Bailey who did a little gator-chomping himself...



Neil Fallon of the awesome band Clutch (who called in to audition as Lou's new hero), and Nikki Sixx (who called in to talk about his new book the Heroin Diaries about... well, heroin) also both got kinder, gentler Pete. You just don't mess with rock stars.

Breuer's been back for just a day so far, and has already managed to clean up the wake of destruction left behind by Hurricane Correale. He's gotten Shaka back on track on promoting his new album which you can pre-order here. He gently explained to the crew why it wasn't a good idea to electrocute and rub steroids on Lou's head based on untested claims that it would cause hair growth. He somehow managed to extract full partying confessions from me, and Larry... well Larry didn't get his cheeks made fun of or called "GrapeApe" for one full show for the first time in a couple of weeks. Looks like everything is back on track!

The "Jammies" Are Up in Arms!

If you've been listening to the show for the past couple of weeks, you know there's been a lot of talk about Pearl Jam possibly breaking up. Is it a hoax? Nope, not on our part at least. Is it true? Who knows. We certainly don't. But we've really have heard some buzz about it.

Either way, the "Jammies" are pissed at Pete for spreading the rumor (and probably also a little bit because he insists on calling them "Jammies"). Check out this thread on the Pearl Jam message board. And here another disgruntled fan takes the question to Yahoo.

Is this the end of one of latter-day rock's greatest bands, or much ado about nothing? I guess only time will tell...

Hair Watch '07

Is there hope for Baldies? Can hair be resurrected from the dead? Using our very own (very bald) DJ Lou as a test subect for various questionable, and probably dangerous hair growth remedies we've decided to find out.

Below are some shots of DJ lou getting his head shocked.







He's also been applying a testosterone-filled cream to his scalp daily. So far our subject reports extreme feelings of rage and irrationability. So it must be working.

Cures for hair loss... do they exist?

The Coolest Thing I've Ever Seen

I'm not sure who did this, I'll have to ask Shaka, but this is freaking awesome:

Thanks to whomever made that!!!

Guest Announcement

Eddie Money is coming back in to hang out with Pete and Crew while Breuer's out of town, today August 7! For those of you who don't remember, Uncle Eddie stormed in the studio a few months back, downed a bottle of Jack and then provided us with some of the most hilarious one-liners in the history of the show (including the infamous, "I've got 2 tickets to fucking Shitsville").

His new album of old-school covers is actually pretty cool, and if you're missing the "MoneyMan" brush up here, and get your questions ready. 1-866-4-RawDog!

Odds and Ends and Unflattering Photos

Whats up regulators--

I slacked a little with updates last week so here's a collection of quick odds and ends.

The weekend before last, Jim organized a Wiffleball Family Fun day to benefit the ChiChi's Foundation. Of course, when it comes to Jim and wiffleball, a game never ends up being just a game. And the final game of the day turned out to be less of a lighthearted event, and more of a metaphor for the Youthful Underdog defeating the Evil Empire. Or something like that. Basically a bunch of cute little kids beat a team of twenty-something, non-shirtwearing, wiffle-ball obsessed meatheads. Picture of the kids celebrating is below.

And though Jim certainly understood the spirit of the day, that's not to say he doesn't still take his wiffleball seriously! Evidence of that follows:

Also last week SNL-er Darrell Hammond hung out in studio. He and Jim reminisced about their awesomely loud-mouthed colleague Norm MacDonald. Darrell is currently starring in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" on Broadway; so if you get to NYC, check it out. He's an awesome guy and the play is supposed to be great.

Following is one of the least flattering photos of a human being I've ever seen in my life (Larry sent it to me with the message "Darrell kind of looks like a murderer in this" and I have to agree). But anyway, for your interest and/or amusement, here's Darrell in studio.

As of more recently, while Breu is off cavorting with Larry the Cable Guy on his insane sounding Christmas Special, Pete got the chance to interview one of his heroes in Breuer's stead. And that hero is none other than the one and only Diceman, Andrew Dice Clay. It all began innocently enough, with Pete betting that Dice couldn't identify a cigarette only by putting it in his mouth (because for the record; Andrew Dice Clay is not a smoker. He sucks on unlit cigarettes because he "likes the taste and gets them for free". His words, not mine.) The challenge proved to be child's play for Dice, and he soon found a new distraction in Nicole from Sirius Hits 1, who made the mistake of innocently stolling by the studio window. He hit on her and took the piss out of Pete for the better part of an hour. What more can you ask for from a guest, really?




The following day, we found out he'd been calling Nicole relentlessly and decided to stage a little intervention. Dice called us from a NYC diner, spoke to Nicole's dad (and won his approval... kind of), all while standing in an inlet and opening doors for diner patrons. Say what you will about Andrew Dice Clay and his act, but the man's got some class.

Other stuff--

Ben Bailey of Discovery's "Cash Cab" will be hanging with Pete again on Wednesday (8th) and Thursday (9th). Mike Weingartner (title-holder for some of the best Comedy Covers of all time) and comedian Gary Gulman (think Tourgasm... and spitting on an audience member) will be chilling in studio on Friday.


Screw Dane Cook and his precious MySpace title. Saddle up Regulators, Pete Correale for MySpace President! Add him here.



RedCloud's awesome video of a PowWow-



And to round it out, one last atrocious photo of one of our absolute favorite guests. Why not. Judah Friedlander from 30 Rock, yawning (speaking? pulling his face in disgust? doing a Mick Jagger impression? I haven't the slightest...) from a few weeks back, chilling in good old studio 21.





Until next time--
