Studio Walls

 Every week I send my Minutia Men Co-Host Dave Stern a list from our audio archives for this week's Studio Walls feature. We missed last week because Dave contracted Covid. If he's well enough to do it this week, these are the possibilities. Which one will he choose?

*June 26, 1981, the movie Stripes debuts. We talked to Tommy Chong about that movie. He and Cheech had it offered to them first. (Listen to the entire interview here). We also have audio from the man who eventually did co-star in it, Harold Ramis. He did a promo for our ad agency. (AUDIO)

*June 26 is Bobby Holland Hatton's birthday. We talked to the busiest stuntman in the world a few years ago. (Click here for entire interview)

*June 27 is author/humorist/parent James Breakwell's birthday. We talked to him about his best-selling book X-ploding Unicorn a few years ago. (Listen to it here)

*June 28, 1997, Mike Tyson bit off Evander Holyfield's ear. Naturally, I wrote a parody song about that for the John Landecker show (AUDIO)

*June 28, 1970 was the first official Gay Pride Day. I spoke to actor Dan Butler (Frasier) about that and his activism for LGBTQ causes. (Full interview is here)

*June 30, 1959, the Cubs had one of the strangest plays in baseball history when two balls were in play at the same time. (We have the audio of the PBP)

*July 1, 2019, William Dameron released his best selling book "The Lie". We had him on the podcast to talk about it. (Listen to that interview here)

*July 1 is Canada Day. We talked to Zero from The Kings about their Canadian smash hit The Beat Goes On/Switchin' To Glide. (You can listen to that here)
