Ok, I know we’re a show about nuts and toejam and stuff, but this Haiti thing is really, really bad. I was a guest on Montel Williams’ show yesterday talking about the situation there (Stuntbrain works for Montel, if you’re wondering where the connection is) and it really started wearing on my mind.
Haiti is a public health disaster zone at the best of times. Only 50% of kids there have even the most basic vaccines and clean drinking water? faggeddaboutit. Water-borne diseases like cholera and dysentery are among the most immediate disease concerns, infectious diseases like typhoid and yes, H1N1 will be …
Here it is, the first of the “new age” of Weird Medicine Addendum(s)…should it be Addenda? Or addendae? Ugh, I hate Greek, or Latin or whatever that is. Well, I only hate it because I don’t fully grasp it, so as usual I’m being an ass. Anyway, since we’re now BARRED from putting show audio up on our website (though others do it freely, feel free to seek them out through Google) thanks to our contract that pays us nothing for the privilege, we’re going to do this extra content for our loyal website followers. Just a brief, 10 minute …

We’re back from vacation and will start recording new Weird Medicine shows on Jan 7th, for play in the following weekends. Currently we’re Live one week, prerecorded the next. We are working to have the Midnight Eastern slot filled with new content every week. There may be a surprise for everyone coming soon, if we can work it all out. More on this later. If Sirius could even get us ONE live read so that we could show our wives that there is SOMETHING coming in now that we’re going on our third year, we could probably do 50 new …
Over the holidays we’re doing a bunch of new Weird Medicine episodes. Double Vasectomy Todd decided to video the proceedings and in retrospect I’m glad he did. This is a brief 5 minute snippet of the December 19th show wherein PA John (off camera) decides to give us a practical demonstration of the subject at hand: flatulence.
As always, if you have a medical question you’d like to hear on the air, give us a call at (423) DIE-TUTI. Don’t forget our Weird Medicine merchandise at CafePress.Com. The Weird Medicine Store has …
We did a lot of touristy NewYork-y stuff over the next 24 hours; took the Staten Island Ferry with Big A, did the Empire State Building, ate at the Carnegie Deli, and hit the Comedy Cellar for the early show.
Weirdly, two most attractive women who we met at the Ron and Fez show also “coincidentally” showed up at the Cellar while we were eating. In a city of millions of people, it was either the most amazing synchronicity, or it was fate (or they were stalking Double Vasectomy Todd, …
I’ve been slammed at work, but I’m trying to get the Nov 7th part two debriefing online asap. I’ve written about half of it and I need to marry the photos with the text. Lots of stuff I wish we’d taken pictures of never got shot, but thats how it goes.
Until then, don’t forget about your Weird Medicine merchandise. It’d make an oddly strange gift for someone, especially if they’re not a listener. I can imagine hearing “Weird Medicine dog sweater, wtf?” at your favorite gift exchange or “White Elephant” party. How much fun would that be?
Here are just a couple …
It’s important to remember that three of our guys were new to the whole “Weird Medicine” thing; Double Vasectomy Todd, Jefferson the Shyster, and Rob from Elizabethton had started with us since the last time we made the journey.
Although I think we’ve had great chemistry in the little studio in my house, none of them had ever done radio live or visited a “real” studio, or even been to NYC before. Todd represents the audience on the prerecorded shows; …
I’ll post a blog of the whole weekend in the next few days. For right now, here’s the link to the Carl Sagan mashup I mentioned on the air (thanks to Chris Stanley from Ron and Fez for this link):
See? I’m trying to put some content on this awful website now that we’re NOT ALLOWED TO POST OUR OWN SHOW anymore. Don’t forget the November 7th LIVE “Weird Medicine”, 9pm-MN Eastern on XM202, Sirius 197.
If you listened to our last show (if you didn’t, I’m sure if you look (bit torrent) around, you may be able to find it somewhere (bit torrent)), you heard the piece we did on Trucker Health. We got a ton of response to this and the best came from Brett and Joy, who are a husband and wife …
Desiree Jennings developed severe side effects from the flu shot she received seven weeks ago, according to the Loudon Times-Mirror.
Before she received the shot, Jennings said she was very healthy and training for a half-marathon. Jennings also was an ambassador for the Washington Redskins, a training program to become a cheerleader.
But 10 days after receiving the flu shot, Jennings said she started experiencing flu-like symptoms.
Jennings’ physical therapist, who works at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland, said the woman has dystonia, a disorder where muscle contractions cause involuntary body jerks and repetitive movements.
“You realize your life is never going to come …
