Schnauzer Logic: Observations from the downslide 2006-12-26 09:10:56 Schnauzer Logic
, Episode 39
Date: December 20, 2006
Full episode: Schnauzer Logic Episode 39
Summary: If you're going to stand out in performance, you gotta find a place where you can develop your true and honest voice. The Schnauzer Logic podcast is shaping up as an uncensored platform for my manic comic artist's persona, where host Robin Diane Goldstein and her studio panel respond generously to almost every one of my halting, half-formed observations from the downslide.
After a couple of visits, we've settled into a comfortable pattern where Robin sets up the premise, I stutter through a joke, the crew (gifted raconteur Sean Meehan, comic plumber Parviz Fathali and quietly present Sheri Stevens) bust out in laughter. When I'm on Schnauzer Logic, I can pretend I'm a big success.
"Feel free to workshop your material on our little show anytime!" Robin writes after my appearance on the program's 2006 finale, which also wraps up its first year online. Busted!
It's like radio

slammed his wedding ring down on the Winedale Tavern bar and declared his marriage had reached an impenetrable impasse. "If you don't leave with me now, then we're finished," he demanded, glaring at his wife of nearly six months through dead, drunken eyes.
Alysen, skinny, tattooed, pierced and pretty, returned her husband's gaze with a satisfied grin. "I think you need to get back to the motel and go to sleep," she told Brandon. "I'm not quite ready to leave yet."
A marriage dissolves; a song is born
Once again, I was caught in the middle of a domestic dispute. That's what happens when you're still single and hanging out with married people. This time, I watched a breakup play out in public as almost-newlyweds Brandon and Alysen dissolved their marriage during what was meant to be a recreational, intoxicated jaunt from their heavily mortgaged new home in Waco to their favorite old beer joint in Dallas.
A few weeks later, a lawyered-up Brandon drove back to Da

Date: October 18, 2006
Full episode: Big Ugly 2.0, Episode V
Summary: It's about time we addressed the issue of my last name, and its soundalike proximity to the phrase Tourette Syndrome. The subject came up on the engaging, "Michiana"-based Big Ugly Podcast, after co-hosts Wetzel and D-Evil played my song, Today
Was A Very Good Day.
"Turetzky? Do you think that's a (sic) pseudoname?" asked D-Evil, inventing an expression of his own.
"I'm gonna guess," said Wetzel.
"Sounds sorta like Tourette-sky."
"Which would fit in with his schtick, I believe."
Dr Demento: Is he still around?
The pair followed up with an all-too-common observation about Dr. Demento, who debuted Today Was A Very Good Day early last year on his program. "I didn't realize he was still around," Wetzel said.
And so it goes for Dr. Demento. Stuck in the vacuum between broadcast radio and Internet radio, dropped by satellite broadcaster XM, probing for relevance in t

'Ballad Of Morris The Cat' set for Dr. Demento premiere 2006-08-11 21:47:16 Legendary comedy radio show host Dr. Demento will feature my new recording of The Ballad
of Morris
The Cat on Saturday and Sunday, August 19-20. Appropriately, the subject of the show is "Cats".
I wrote Morris The Cat some years ago, on news that the 9Lives spokesfeline had passed away. In my song, Morris is buried "in his favorite litter box/With some cans of 9Lives chicken and lox." In television reality, 9Lives soon resurrected Morris for a new series of commercials.
But I didn't know Dr. Demento then, and performed Morris only to amuse friends and co-workers. At the time, my original repertoire included just Morris (which borrows the tempo of Jimmy Dean's "Big Bad John") and the very personal A Boy Named Jew. I soon bagged both songs in favor of newer tunes with original melodies.
My history with Dr. Demento
Dr. Demento spun two of my songs, both from Look What I Made!, a total of five times during 2005. Today Was A Very Good Day appeared on Jan. 9. My Fat Ass Itches followed
