Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: Molly Hagan

 


We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. We interviewed Molly Hagan a few months ago and she was a delight. Molly was on Seinfeld, Friends, The Golden Girls, Herman's Head, and is currently in the cast of the show Walker. We talked to her about all of those things, but we spent even more time discussing her midwestern upbringing. She was a delight.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: Adam Greenberg


 We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. A few years ago we interviewed former Cub player Adam Greenberg. Adam had one of the most memorable baseball careers of all time. He faced exactly one pitch, and it hit him in the head, ending his career. We talked to him about that and the story is even more interesting than it sounds.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: Paul Michael Glaser

 

We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. A few years ago we interviewed one of the stars of the 1970s classic show Starsky & Hutch. I embarrassed myself by telling him how big of a fan I was of the show. I watched it on German TV. I read the novels (yes, they released novels). We also talked to him about Fiddler on the Roof, and his role in that film. It was a really fun interview.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: Mark Giangreco

 

We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. Mark Giangreco was a TV sportscaster in Chicago for decades before being fired for inappropriate comments about his co-worker Cheryl Burton on the air. Turns out, Mark has been a naughty boy before, and that's one of the many subjects we discuss. We also go back to my encounters with Mark at the Loop back in the late 80s/early 90s, and discuss our mutual friend Chet Coppock. Well worth a listen.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: Gerardo


We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. Gerardo is famous for his hit "Rico Suave" but also had a film career (films like "Colors") and is currently embarking on a brand new career--he's a preacher. Rick and Dave discuss all of those things with him, and Gerardo has a great attitude and sense of humor about it.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: James Finn Garner

 


We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. James Finn Garner is a NY Times Best Selling author. His book "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories" has sold millions of copies. And he has appeared on our podcast. We talked to him about fairy tales, his Rex Koko book series, and we had a spirited Beatles vs. Stones debate. He also told me what a moron I am for liking Roxy Music's "Love is hte Drug". Definitely worth a re-listen.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: Mark Farner

 


We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. Mark Farner was the leader of Grand Funk Railroad, a classic rock band in the 1970s. We talked to him about his heady rock and roll days, from the band's sold out Shea Stadium concert, to the massive hit records they released. We even chatted about the evils of corporate radio. Great chat. Worth a relisten.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: Carmen Fanzone

 


We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. We had a surprisingly wonderful conversation about five years ago with former Cub Carmen Fanzone. Carmen was a part of the Cubs teams of my youth, so it was fun chatting with him about some of my heroes like Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, and Joe Pepitone. He had some great Joe Pepitone stories. Fanzone was also a famous musician, and we talked to him about that. A thoroughly enjoyable interview.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: Debi Derryberry

 


We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. A few years ago we chatted with the great voice over artist Debi Derryberry. She really put on a show for us, doing a whole slew of voices (including Jimmy Neutron, the Aliens from Toy Story, Speedy the Alka Seltzer guys, and more)., but the most memorable part of the interview is when she showed us how she came up with voices. In the span of 15 seconds, she did seven or eight different voices. Incredible.

We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. This one is probably the most listened to interview we've ever done. The Shark Tank star and Dallas Mavericks owner talked to us about embarrassing his kids, the highs and lows of extreme wealth, and even a little bit about politics.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: The Mind the Gap Voice, Emma Clarke


 We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. A few years ago we got a chance to talk to the voice over artist who is the voice of the London Underground. As you step from the train to the platform you hear her lovely voice saying "Mind the Gap". We tracked her down and asked about that, and found out that she did a lot of other recognizable voice overs. Plus, she's a Manchester United fan. Fun conversation. She had a great sense of humor.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: Tommy Chong


 We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best. This may be one of our favorite interviews ever. Tommy Chong, of Cheech & Chong fame, was one of the voices of our youth. We talked to him about some of those great classic albums, and the trajectory of how Cheech & Chong became the rock star comedians of the 1970s. Tommy came to play. He has some great celebrity stories, wasn't afraid to name names, and took the conversation in directions we never could have anticipated.

Minutia Men Celebrity Interview Classic: Duane Scott Cerny

 


We have now done over 200 interviews on our various Minutia Men podcasts, and this year we're going to revisit some of the best.

Both are now available there (Selling Dead People's Things, Vintage Confidential)
