Happy Halloween, everybody! In celebration, I'll share some pics from my old local cable tv show. I used to go to the local costume house every year and get made over! We'd then try to go out and film a scene somewhere. Year one: I was a much-older-than-teenage werewolf.
Year two, Phantom! I wanted to go somewhere and sing Music of the Night, but we opted for a Chaney-esque silent scene.
Year three: Hunchback! When we went to a gigantic church and I climbed around in the filthy belfrey - that one was pretty impressive.
And finally, the drag year, which, no surprise, led to them not using me as a host anymore! I assume they got complaints, but the show was canceled shortly thereafter when the cable company was bought out. Mae West, Carol Channing, Norma Desmond!

Episode 42 IS up and loaded, but LibSyn is having some server issues so you can't download it at the moment. Check back later today and hopefully it will be available.
Also, as I'm going to be moving this month, which will require a lot of prep work on our new house, we're going to a Wednesday-only schedule for October. Once we're in the new place and everything is copacetic, we'll be back to a twice-weekly schedule.
Welcome to Episode 42 of "Don't Quit Your Day Job: The Podcast!" where Melanie does one hell of an editing job, Stacy sings "Itsy Bitsy Spider" with 17,000 spiderlings, Patrick offers blowjobs for 5-star reviews and Jerry remembers Mr. Rogers.

Hello. I am Sally Struthers, of the Single Sad Lonely Bastard's Fund.
We are taking this ad out on this blog to bring to your attention a situation that has not been seen on this earth since pictures of Calcutta scorched the covers of Time, Newsweek and The National Enquirer.
Yes, we're talking about Patrick's apartment.
We are trying to connect one person who wants to help, with one sad, lonely bastard who needs it. The magnitude of the world’s problems — war, natural disaster, and the associated dangers faced by millions of people — are nothing compared to the conditions this man lives in daily.
Make A Connection with Your Sponsored Bastard.
As a sponsor, you can build a personal, one-to-one relationship with your sponsored Bastard through letters, and learn about his family, community, daily life and hopes for the future.
Regular health and progress reports will show you how your sponsorship is improving the Bastard's life.
Your special gifts give your sponsored Bastard hope, nurturing and confidence. You may even visit your sponsored Bastard and see first-hand the difference your sponsorship contributions are making in his lonely hovel.
It is truly amazing how much $640 a month can do for a Bastard in need. You can give a Bastard access to healthy food, safe water and an education. And, when you sponsor a Bastard, SSLBF uses your monthly sponsorship donations, combined with donations from sponsors of other lonely Bastards in your Bastard's community, to support community wide programs and facilities that change lives and plant the seeds of self-sufficiency.
Your Bastard will learn:
* How to dial 911 for the elderly in their dinner theater * How to successfully use a defibrillator * CPR skills * How to properly change and dispose of a Depends undergarment * and much, much more.
We build schools, teach vocational skills, engage young Bastards in crucial early Bastardhood development activities, provide health care, and establish replenishable sources of Doritos and safe bottles of wine.
EP 41: Dinner Theater (AKA God's Waiting Room) (38:26)
Welcome to Episode 41 of "Don't Quit Your Day Job: The Podcast!" where Jerry is released from his bag, Melanie stalks her house, Stacy is down in the subbasement working on her newscast, and Patrick recounts the number of ambulance trips to his dinner theater in the last weekend.

This crew has the timing of a fine Swiss timepiece, and the sharp wit of a wheel of aged cheddar -- loriwin
Melanie Fletcher and Jerry J. Davis are increasingly infamous speculative fiction writers; Patrick Gaik is an actor and leading light in Illinois dinner theater. Together with their roving newsgirl Stacy T, they discuss everything from philosophical subtleties to porn, with amusing side trips into day jobs, night jobs, writing, reading, performing, SF, fantasy, sex, anime, movies, TV, beer, coffee, Diet Coke with Lime, and anything else that wanders through their tiny minds.
And please, don't listen to Episode 26. Just...trust us on this.
Year two, Phantom! I wanted to go somewhere and sing Music of the Night, but we opted for a Chaney-esque silent scene.
Year three: Hunchback! When we went to a gigantic church and I climbed around in the filthy belfrey - that one was pretty impressive.
And finally, the drag year, which, no surprise, led to them not using me as a host anymore! I assume they got complaints, but the show was canceled shortly thereafter when the cable company was bought out. Mae West, Carol Channing, Norma Desmond!
Good times!
