Weird Medicine Addendum returns, now on Stitcher and iTunes. If you haven’t checked out Stitcher yet, it’s a really cool on-demand radio service for your smart phone. The app has low-overhead and there’s virtually NO lag unless you just have a crappy connection. After you listen to Weird Medicine, check out The Joe Rogan Experience and other cool stuff.
I’m breaking this show into two 30 minute podcasts just to see if people like it better in small chunks. I still have such a low self-esteem that I can’t imagine anyone would want to listen to AN HOUR …
This was our second attempt at a LIVE show from the Weird Medicine studios and our first try with our own Ustream channel. Thanks to Anthony Cumia’s retweet on twitter, we set all kinds of records for listeners this night…a feat we’ll not repeat soon (unless we can convince Ant to retweet us again when we’re on).
The weird thing about this is that I was actually nervous going into this. Knowing that there are real, live people listening and wanting to interact with us is way different than answering voicemails and doing a show to 4 people in the …
After we did the 30 minute podcast, the Ustream listeners wanted to get involved so we experimented with taking some LIVE calls. It actually went better than I thought and we talked about gout and some other stuff and even got a call from Lady Trucker (who stumped us).
WE WILL GET BETTER AT THIS. The technology for taking live calls and streaming live isn’t new, but it’s new to us. We had a blast interacting with our friends online, though, and will do a lot more of this as time goes on.
So glitches and all, …
This is the first WM Addendum that we’ve done in over a year and it really, really showed. New things: live internet audience on Ustream (go to our homepage for more information) which was a LOT of fun. This was a straight-to-podcast 30 minute show and when we got done people were weirdly clamoring for more (as if what we did here wasn’t bad enough) so we did another 30 minutes taking live calls via Skype. That show will post just after this one.
For potential advertisers: This …
It is well known that I am hobbled by horrid vocal crutches. These came on late in life when I decided that I couldn’t utter something unless I “knew” it was “correct” (it’s a form of OCD) and my dumb brain is constantly searching for words that ensure that I’m not making statements beyond my knowledge. While my brain is frantically searching for the “right” words, my stupid mouth just opens up and “ahhhhhh” comes out along with “so anyway” and a few other annoying nuggets.
I’m pretty sure Trevor W got this from ONE show, and probably ONE …
Well, we finally emerged into the 21st century; although we cannot play content that we made for SiriusXM, there’s nothing in our contract (at least the way I read it) that says we can’t do a separate podcast if we want to! So I’m hoping to do a regularly scheduled podcast called “The Weird Medicine Addendum” (we’ve done this before, for long-term listeners, just never on iTunes). These will be brand “spanking” (yuck yuck) new shows, made specifically for the podcast audience. Maybe we’ll even get a sponsor or two, who knows?
You can still use the same number: 347 POO …
Big A is one of our best friends on the show; he does a lot of stuff for us behind the scenes and is a beloved regular of the Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez shows. As you know, Big A hasn’t exactly placed his health in a position of high priority in recent years. He has severe sleep apnea and would just “forget” to wear his mask, and his diet was so bad he eventually got up to somewhere in the neigborhood of 430 pounds.
Recently he got a health scare and spent some time in the hospital. The …
The February 12th Weird Medicine will be a special show for Valentine’s Day. Replacing PA John, Chest Pain Rob, Jefferson the Lawyer and Double Vasectomy Todd will be a panel of beauties including “Triple H (She’s High, Hot, and a Hellovalot!), PA Jill (from WM Live III and the WM Addendums (Addendae? ugh)), hot Doctor Ashley, and perhaps a surprise guest. The hook is that they will be answering questions for guys about women in general that guys want to ask women but never get to because of the crappy communication we have between the sexes. Questions like “how come …
Most regular listeners of Weird Medicine know that PA John and the rest of the WM team are not able to make it to NYC this year for the live show. It’s rough…everyone has obligations and it’s very expensive to make this trip. Sirius has consistently declined to help out with expenses and I can’t ask 4 other guys to spend their hard-earned $$$ on a Quixotic adventure that is basically my dream, not theirs. So Tacie and I are going up by ourselves.
This leaves a huge void for me. John obviously can field medical questions while I’m looking stuff …
Well, the Vodka Tampon Challenge was our second scientific “mythbusting” endeavor…the first being Double Vasectomy Todd’s loss of 80 lbs and gaining of 1 and 3/4 inches of penis length, thus confirming “The Rule of 35″ or “Dr Steve’s Rule” that says for every 35 lbs of weight loss, you regain 1 inch (approximately) of visible male membership.
The Vodka Tampon Challenge was affected, however, by my recent loss of vision…posterior uveitis knocked me from 20/20 to 20/200 in a day and I had to get steroids injected in my dumb eyes again. This is all documented on my pal “…
