Episode 1339 - Greg Proops

Marc has a very direct question for his old friend Greg Proops: “Did we lose?” In the fight for the heart and soul of comedy, there is real uncertainty about the current trajectory. What legacy did the alternative comedy movement leave, if any? Did the Obama years create a false sense of security for popular comedians that made them drop the ball? Will a there be a counterforce to the dominant strain of reactionary backlash comedy? Marc and Greg interrogate these questions and their own roles in the past three decades of comedy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Infinite Monkey's Guide To… Talking to Aliens

Brian Cox and Robin Ince are on a mission to discover whether extra-terrestrials exist. But if there really is other life out there, what would it look like? Comedian Conan O’Brien is hoping for lizard-like creatures with superhuman strength, while Greg Proops imagines little green girls, like the ones in the Star Trek series he grew up with. Or possibly Ewoks. Either way, nobody can agree on the best way to communicate with them if we do ever make contact. Should we send them complicated equations so they realise how intelligent we are, and is playing Bach to aliens too much like showing off? New episodes will be released on Wednesdays. If you’re in the UK, listen to the full series on BBC Sounds: bbc.in/3K3JzyF Producer: Marijke Peters Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem Episodes featured: Series 1: Extraterrestrial Life Series 25: Exploring Our Solar System Series 12: San Francisco Special Series 9: To Infinity and Beyond

This Little Piggy Cried 'Wee, Wee, Wee!' All the Way Home

John talks about Rep. Clay Higgins who was the only Republican to vote against the release of the Epstein files in the House. The Senate side-stepped having their names and votes on record by putting the bill through to the White House via Unanimous Consent. He also discusses Trump's blatant, misogynistic comments - telling one female reporter "Quiet Piggy!" aboard Air Force One when she asked about the Epstein files. Also, in another heated exchange in the Oval Office - ABC News Mary Bruce also asked about the files and he told her "You know, it's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter." Then, John welcomes back Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman to talk about all the latest happening in congress and how the GOP is turning against Trump. Next, he jokes with his old pal Greg Proops from the show Whose Line is it Anyway? They promote his upcoming stage show Whose Live Anyway? Then lastly, Comedy Daddy Keith Price returns to chat about Trump and the mystery "Bubba" in the mix.
