The Poojer Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Eli Braden?? Doesn't he do spoof songs for Howard Stern?
circlethewagons87 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Eli Braden?? Doesn't he do spoof songs for Howard Stern? Yes that's him. Is the video in my post working? It keeps disappearing on my computer.
The Poojer Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 It is not working...says I don't have correct permission or something Yes that's him. Is the video in my post working? It keeps disappearing on my computer.

The Poojer Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I gotta try in the am...the volume is way low but it may be my phone. I'll listen on my laptop in the am. FIXED!!
Jim in Anchorage Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Unfortunately I can see and hear it fine. What a dork.
MDH Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Unfortunately I can see and hear it fine. What a dork. This isn't PPP, how about a little respect?
Jim in Anchorage Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 This isn't PPP, how about a little respect? Huh? He asked a opinion I gave it.
section122 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I never "got" the so bad it's funny humor.
Beerball Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I was a guest on The Eli Braden Show. What do you think? Nice job, but, can you keep up the same schtick for a career or at some point do you have to be "funny"?
Maury Ballstein Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I enjoy stand up a ton....does it get funny after the 2 min mark ? That's as far as I could last...zero laughs or chuckles. Not good
The Poojer Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 i've got my laptop cranked up and i still can't hear it, i'll try it again later when i have headphones in...
boyst Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 This is the type of humor that will last for a year or two and hopefully role in to a writing gig for TV/radio/something. I find it pretty funny but nothing side splitting.
Keukasmallies Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Dear Circle, I'm 73, been retired for seventeen years. Permit me to make several observations: First, assuming you're not dodging incoming rounds of beer bottles, nor swaying due to a small earthquake, for God sake stand still! Second, I'm keenly aware of the fact that my basic values and views of life today are woefully outdated; therefore, my comments can easily be disregarded by the reader--you. With that caveat firmly in place, permit me to say I admire your hutzpah in standing up there, but the material was lower than a wagon track. Keep your day job, son.

mrags Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I could only last until your Angels at in Aneheim joke. Not being rude just being honest here. First of all, I give you a ton of credit because it's something I would love to try but could never do it. The thought of getting up in front of people makes me wheezy just thinking about it. So props to you for that. But I didn't find it funny at all. I found it rather unwatchable. I'm not a fan of this kind of comedy. Tell me stories with funny accurances and I'm dying. The quips aren't funny to me.
DrDawkinstein Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 First, to Mike... I remember when you first joined the board years ago under a different name and posted your blog. While I didnt find you funny back then (thought the blog was trying too hard to be edgy IIRC), it's good to see you stick with it and make some strides. Congrats on getting the commercial overseas, the talk show exposure, and this spot on Eli's show. I'll admit, I'm impressed, if by nothing else your tenacity to stick with it all this time and your ability to get noticed. Congrats and I wish you the best in a very tough and grueling industry. Now to these guys... I could only last until your Angels at in Aneheim joke. Not being rude just being honest here. First of all, I give you a ton of credit because it's something I would love to try but could never do it. The thought of getting up in front of people makes me wheezy just thinking about it.

With that caveat firmly in place, permit me to say I admire your hutzpah in standing up there, but the material was lower than a wagon track. Keep your day job, son. I have a feeling that Mike is going to be very excited to see you say that, as I believe this is EXACTLY what he is trying to do in his schtick. A take on Andrew Clay's "The Day the Laughter Died" series, if you will, proving that you don't need comedy for laughter and vice versa. It's bombing on purpose, since if you've ever been to a comedy club to see it live, there is NOTHING funnier than someone bombing on stage.
