Kip Addotta was an incredible standup comedian.

He was also a guy who used  to call me late at night and insisted that I record all our conversations.

Kip passed away in August of 2019, and rather than just let the countless hours of talks wither away on my hard drive, this is the first of MANY volumes of interactions with him.

For more, go to Amazon and pick up his autobiography, Confessions Of A Comedian.

Could Steve Bluestein's prostate be the funniest prostate in the world?

It's possible. If anyone could take prostate cancer and find all the funny in it, it's Steve.

Tom was lucky enough to talk to the acclaimed comedian and author about his new book, "Take My Prostate...Please!" (now available on Amazon.) During the conversation, they covered nurses in drag, chic Los Angeles hospital cuisine, and the always side-splitting process of finding out you have prostate cancer, and all the steps necessary to get rid of it.

TGS261-The Birth Of A Nation Episode

The very first blockbuster movie in American film history was loaded with technological mastery--and some really cringeworthy racism. Not to mention revisionist Civil War history.

And it's also the first movie ever shown in The White House.

Birth Of A Nation, directed by one of the founders of United Artists--D.W. Griffith, is the story of two families. One from the North. And one from the South.

But it's also chock full of hard-to-watch scenes of racially offensive and inaccurate depictions of the Civil War. 

For its time, it was a technological masterpiece of massive scope. Huge battlefield scenes. A plethora of extras.

Our guest, Dr. Wes Gehring, will guide us through all the ins and outs of a film that's on one hand historically and technologically significant--and really hard to watch without wanting to wince.

Hear all about about it, on this episode of The Tom Gulley Show.
