Day 71: Raw Dog Comedy

My Best Guess: Catch the best no-holds-barred stand-up comedy, and great shows with the Wiseguys and Jim Breuer, right here on Raw Dog

According to Sirius: Comedy from the edge - uncensored and outrageous. Classic comedy, the hottest new stand-ups and original shows like Jim Breuer Unleashed and Vincent "Big Pussy" Pastore's The Wiseguy Show. No rules...no regulations...no kidding!

Curt's Rebuttal: Yeah, yeay...I think "no-holds-barred" captures the first part, and I even nailed the two shows they were going to plug. The closing tag is a little expected, though...

Sample Playlist:

• Robin Williams, Enron Field
• Mitch Hedberg, Drink Before the Show
• Mike Birbiglin, The Old Mill Pond Story
• Dave Attell, Religion
• Daniel Tosh, Fictitious Disorder
• The Wiseguy Show: Here you have "Big Pussy" from The Soprano's hosting a talk show with some of his Italian friends. I caught the last ten minutes of today's show, and it had musical guests, The Morris Brothers. Didn't really sound that "wiseguy"-ish.
• Jim Breuer Unleased: And then caught the first 15 minutes or so of this. Not a huge Breuer fan...but he did mention how he likes to start his day listening to Sirius's Coffee House, which I believe I said I'd likely start doing after this experiment. He also talked about how he gets Pumpkin Spice Latte's from Starbucks...which I also do (when in season). So, it's a little eerie what we have in common. It was also kind of funny, but comedian Dave Attell called in, because he had the wrong Sirius phone number, but they talked a little anyway.

High Point: Hearing them play a little Daniel Tosh on the drive in. He's one of my favorite stand-ups, so was nice to hear (even though I have the CD that the bit was pulled from).

Verdict: Bookmarked, of course. Although I do listen more for the stand-up bits than the shows, I did find by looking at the site that they have a show hosted by "Oscar, the death-predicting cat." I have to check that out...how could I not?
