Weird Medicine Returns June 20th at 6pm

Filed under: Steve's Blog — dr steve @ 1:34 pm

I am happy to announce that Weird Medicine will return to Sirius 197-XM 202 on June 20th at 6pm. We have a LOT to talk about, not the least being our struggle to find a permanent slot in the 202 schedule (if only to help our audience to find us!)

If Sam and Dave can work it out to do a SNV show each month, we may be able to simply take the empty slot at 6pm on those weeks.

We are working very hard to get some live shows going from the Nashville studios as well. More on that as the situation develops.

your pal,

Steve

Weird Medicine May 16 2009

Filed under: Podcast — dr steve @ 4:01 pm

When we did this one, we had no idea it would be the last scheduled “Weird Medicine” on the old schedule.   With the new schedule (Ron and Fez 11-3) and with the 7-9 Saturday Night slot gone, we’re not sure where we’ll end up.   We’re on summer hiatus for the next few weeks and as soon as we know our fate we’ll post it here and on the message boards.

This show contains the beginning of Double Vasectomy Todd’s weight loss/schlong length program (courtesy of trainer-extraordinaire MJ Kovaleski, AKA Steve C’s fiancee.

There’s some other cool crud in here as well.    Enjoy!

your pal,

Steve

May 2 2009 Weird Medicine

Filed under: Podcast — Tags: , , , , , , — dr steve @ 9:25 pm

This show was recorded at the very beginning of the Swine Flu pandemic.  We did a long segment at the beginning of the show on H1N1 as well as a long segment on chest pain and why a lot of men try to blow it off when it happens.  Rob from Elizabethton stars in that segment, spouting every rationalization that men who ignore chest pain spout.  We also have another call from Shannon from South Florida, cover Peanut Allergy, and Suboxone for narcotic addiction.   A somewhat more serious show, given our more recent efforts, but one of the best shows so far also.  Oh, and one funny segment that shows why we keep our terrestrial show very, very separate from our XM show.

The next show should be a great one.  ‘Nuff said!

Weird Medicine Star Trek Promos

Filed under: Steve's Blog — dr steve @ 10:31 pm

Double Vasectomy Todd started this idocy by going to the Trek Yourself website and doing a Romulan “Weird Medicine” promo.   The result can be seen here.  We’ll explain the whole “Fecalicious the helmet polisher” injoke on the air May 2 at 5pm EDST.

This is Big A’s version.  Andrew makes one creepy-ass serial killer looking Vulcan.

Here’s mine. I’m a dope.  There is an in-joke at the end for all those who have really been paying attention to the Liam vs Dave thing.  For everyone else, I just sound like a goof.

…we may even give some sort of awful prize for our favorite.   We’re not promising anything.

Here are a couple of fan created masterworks:

“Most Mediocre of” Weird Medicine Aired April 25 2009

Filed under: Podcast — dr steve @ 11:08 pm

Ok, it went like this…

Someone canceled their 9pm Saturday Night Virus show (who would do such a thing?) and “Special Delivery” stepped up to the plate.   This left their regular 6pm slot open.  Big Kev had the 5pm slot, so Erock asked us if we could do a show on really short notice (like less than a day).  As the typical Weird Medicine show takes me an average of 8 hours of show prep over several nights, I figured why not try a “Best of” show.   We’ve been doing this for 2 years, surely we have enough material to do a one hour retrospective.  Ugh, I was so sick of hearing my own voice drone on and on as I was reviewing the old shows, I really despaired that we’d be able to put together a credible show.

Double Vasectomy Todd and PA John were able to make it (Jefferson the Shyster being in court that day) so we did it “Live on tape” rather than just compiling a bunch of crap and calling it a show.

I asked Erik to send us all of our XM material (there’s 7 1/2 hours of live stuff) in good quality audio so we can make a “real” best of some day.

Anyway, this was a fun experiment;  hope you enjoy it.

April 18th 2009 Weird Medicine

Filed under: Podcast — dr steve @ 11:02 pm

This may be a turning point for us;  for the first time we started to feel really comfortable just talking about stuff;   we’re really trying to work on an entertaining “conversation about health care” which can be a pretty dry subject.   We do have fun with it, as the finale of the AssCrack Challenge demonstrates.  I think Erock told us that the new powers that be at Sirius will be listening to this one.   Hope we don’t just get tossed summarily off the air. 🙂

Contents:

PA John’s baby (which one is the real baby?)

Pat and Big A update (treasurer’s report)

Asscrack Finale: Wherein Dr Steve gets a “Male Posterior Brazilian” wax “live” on tape to the merriment of all

Francois Rabelais’ “Gargantua and Pantagruel”, 16th century advice on arsewiping brought to life

Herpes

Epididymitis

Radio War: LIAM vs ESD (also LIAM vs OPIE)

Genital Vitiligo

We enjoyed doing this one;   hope you all dig it.

Gargantua and Pantagruel

Filed under: Steve's Blog — dr steve @ 11:19 pm

We’ll be serializing this on “Weird Medicine”, but for those who visit this website, here’s the whole thing in one glob.

Our first “production piece” (other than the Liam vs East Side Dave stuff), we were turned on to the twisted genius that is Francois Rabelais by our pal Recyclerz on ronfez.net.   Rabelais was a 16th century writer of philosophy and insanity, and took a whole chapter to discourse on the best method for wiping one’s horrid patoot after defecation (or bemerde-ing oneself, as Rabelais would put it).   Anyway, you can read more about Rabelais here.

The reader is Bobby Funk from the East TN State University drama department (he did it in one take which was all we could afford, given he had to drive an hour to get to the studio).

Hope you enjoy this finale to the “Asscrack Challenge”, a bit that hopefully is finally and most permanently dead.

This entry includes perianal depilitation, e-cigarettes, frottage, fluorescent urine, and prostatic congestion AKA “Blue Balls”.   Oh, and we exposed the condition known as “Cello Scrotum” as a hoax, and discussed male preference for areola size.   All in all, a busy show.

For those who are interested, we continue our coverage of the Canadian Healthcare system through the trials and tribulations of our friend “Lana from Canada” who is trying to get decisive help for her severe endometriosis.   Oh, and a nice phone call from Pat from Moonachie, too.   If you’d like to help Pat and Big A pay for their medical expenses while we wait for the government to come up with a safety net for the “working poor”, check out the post below.

We’re now on every other Saturday night at 5pm Eastern.   This is our new spot until SiriusXM decides to change it again.   As always we appreciate the tons of support we get for this show.   You all are truly great.

your pal,

Steve

This was the file we used to re-pitch our show to Sirius after the merger.

Please Lord, make it be good enough. 🙂

The genesis of the war between East Side Dave and my 5 year old;

Introducing the fund for Pat From Moonachie and Big A. (So far we’ve raised almost $2500! Thanks to all who have donated!)

Check out Jon Gray at Case of the Mondays (Jon was instrumental in getting a sleep apnea test done on Big A).

The first appearance of Shannon from South Florida; she is tamponly challenged and we can’t wait for her to call in again.

If you’d like to donate to Pat and Big A, check the post below this one.
