This week, we're back with our esteemed panel of movie critics, Matt Kemple from the Laughing Tap (https://laughingtap.com/) and comedian Chris Schmidt. This time it was Chris' turn to pick our movie and he chose the 1987 Coen brothers' comedy, Raising Arizona, starring Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter. Of course we talk about the storyline, but we also talk about the elements that made the movie funny, including the Looney Tunes style violence and the complete incompetence of the criminals. We highlight some of our favorite scenes, discuss some behind the scenes stories, compare the movie to other Coen brothers' classics, and much, much more! Enjoy!

In the second half of our interview with comedian Daniel Fuellengraben, we try our hands at movie reviews. We take a look at some of the more "obscure" movie titles with the hopes of bringing our listeners' attention to these "lesser known" selections. Enjoy!

This week we talk with Milwaukee comedian Daniel Fuellengraben. We talk with Daniel about a wide variety of topics including, his German heritage, his journey into the local Milwaukee stand-up comedy scene, his perspectives on the art of stand-up, his occupation, even the Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight.

We chat with our crew about everything Brewers: Keys to the season, pitching, hitting, injuries and of course, we couldn't talk Brewers without paying tribute to the legendary Bob Uecker.

This week we talk to a musician friend of ours who has a video on YouTube, he's been on MTV, he's been on tour, he's lived in and done music in L.A., he's currently doing music in Milwaukee with his son and they've got a group named Jack Julian. Of course I'm talking about our friend, Shaun Snopek! Shaun takes us on a wild journey through the highs and lows of the music industry, from his early days in Milwaukee, to an unexpected ride with Ecoteur that led to a move to LA and an appearance on MTV's 120 Minutes! He also talks to us about his younger days, growing up around music with his brother Sigmund and touring with his brother's band.

This week marks the launch of our Bait and Switch movie reviews! We’ve assembled a panel of comedic experts—Matt Kemple and Chris Schmidt—for a ludicrous-speed detour into nostalgia as we revisit Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs. Matt, a self-proclaimed Spaceballs superfan, shares his deep love (and multiple copies) of the film, while the rest of us weigh in on everything from Yogurt’s wisdom to Dark Helmet’s questionable fashion choices. We talk about where Spaceballs ranks among Mel Brooks’ classics, we break down the film’s most amusing elements, including its fourth-wall-breaking gags, and debate whether its slapstick humor still holds up. The verdict: If you grew up quoting this sci-fi spoof, you’re probably still quoting it today. Enjoy this nostalgic blast from the past!

Today we get together to pay tribute to a legend in Milwaukee Brewers and baseball broadcasting history, "Mr. Baseball", Bob Uecker. Unfortunately Bob passed away on January 16, 2025. As the Brewers' team photographer, our guest Scott Paulus spent almost 30 years working with Bob, so we asked him to come in and chat with us about his experiences with Mr. Baseball. Scott shares stories about what it was like to be around Bob every day, along with a particular story that stands out for him. In addition to our tribute, we also talk about Scott's history as the Brewers' official team photographer, what it's like to work with the Brewers' marketing team, and the changes he's seen in the stadium since he started. Enjoy our tribute to a Milwaukee legend.
