Conversations With My Dummy steve charney

Harry wants to register as a redwood tree with the E.P.A. so they'll protect him from Stymie, the school bully. Hilarity ensues. Steve has also peppered the podcast with funny original songs just to break up the monotony, I mean the botany.

Harry wants to foil a thief in the neighborhood by putting mustaches on all the sound equipment. Will it work? Of course it will. This podcast features Steve Charney and Harry being goofballs. 

The great Peter Schickele (P.D.Q Bach) is our guest! He shares a story about meeting Spike Jones and plays a song he wrote called "Uncle Pooty's Sugar Off." Also, Harry is now working for a company that sells protective gear and wants Steve to buy some. If he doesn't, who knows what accidents might occur. You guess what happens.

Tom Paxton is our guest. The writer of hits such as "The Marvelous Toy", "Last Thing On My Mind" and "Ramblin' Boy," he and Harry talk about Harry's bad attitude and then Tom sings his song (with help from Harry), "My Dog's Bigger Than Your Dog." Also, Steve and Harry open up their Poetry Workshop. It's like the car guys, Click and Clack but for poems. You know, Clicky and Slicky.

The wonderful Tom Chapin is in the studio and with the help of Harry they sing Tom's "Whale Song." Harry has to use the bathroom. While he's gone, Steve imitates Harry's voice with such success that when Harry returns, Steve decides he doesn't need him anymore. Harry sues. Steve also sings his original tune "I Wanna Iguana". 

Our guest on this podcast is John Sebastian, writer of "Summer in the City," "Do you Believe in Magic," "Daydream." and "Welcome Back Kotter". Harry and he sing "The Cat Came Back." Also, the song Steve wrote "Picture Of Health" that played on Jim Henson's "Bear In The Big Blue House" is featured. But the big news is that Steve has a confession to make. He's the funniest man on the planet because he was born on Flypton and has a super powered sense of humor. So why isn't he funnier? Listen and find out.
