Weird Medicine Healthcare for the Rest of Us

Please help Steve C’s Family!

We are all mourning the loss of our friend, Steve Carlesi, the former executive producer of the Opie and Anthony Channel. From a personal standpoint, Steve was the first person at XM202 who I ever corresponded with, and he ALWAYS answered my emails, no matter how trivial. He took the time to respond to a fan in the most gracious and humorous way; when I decided to pitch “Weird Medicine” to Opie I went to Steve first. His response: “I like it. A LOT. Let me see what I can do.” The rest is history, and I can say without any hesitation that without Steve there would have been no “Weird Medicine”. Whenever we were in NY, Steve always took the time to greet us and make us feel welcome. He was just a genuinely nice person.

So please help ameliorate this great loss to his family by donating to the Steve C Fund. Steve leaves behind a wife, 2 year old son, and a step-daughter who will all miss him greatly.

Thank you for your support! If you’d like to leave a message for Steve’s family, you can write to rememberstevec at gmail dot com. MJ can read these to Xander when he gets old enough to understand.

your obt svt,

Steve

August 5 2011 Podcast

Filed under: Podcast,Steve's Blog — Tags: , , , , , , — dr steve @ 11:55 pm

This was our second attempt at a LIVE show from the Weird Medicine studios and our first try with our own Ustream channel. Thanks to Anthony Cumia’s retweet on twitter, we set all kinds of records for listeners this night…a feat we’ll not repeat soon (unless we can convince Ant to retweet us again when we’re on).

The weird thing about this is that I was actually nervous going into this.  Knowing that there are real, live people listening and wanting to interact with us is way different than answering voicemails and doing a show to 4 people in the studio.  That someone will actually listen later to the show seems almost theoretical.  Doing it live is a different beast, but it is very exciting and extremely fun.

We’re ironing out the kinks…we’ll get better at this whole live podcast thing, I promise.

your pal,

 

Steve

(Check out the new Weird Medicine Shot Glasses at Cafe Press.  I bought 7.  Perhaps we’ll figure out a way to give a few away in the next week or so.  Stay tuned!)

Trevor W from Canada: “The Dr Steve AHHHHHH Song”

Filed under: Podcast,Steve's Blog — Tags: , , , , , — dr steve @ 11:16 pm

It is well known that I am hobbled by horrid vocal crutches. These came on late in life when I decided that I couldn’t utter something unless I “knew” it was “correct” (it’s a form of OCD) and my dumb brain is constantly searching for words that ensure that I’m not making statements beyond my knowledge. While my brain is frantically searching for the “right” words, my stupid mouth just opens up and “ahhhhhh” comes out along with “so anyway” and a few other annoying nuggets.

I’m pretty sure Trevor W got this from ONE show, and probably ONE answer to ONE question. It’s really quite embarrassing, but the boyz in studio got a kick out of making fun of me for a change. Now you can, too, thanks to the magic of feedburner and iTunes!

Enjoy!

your pal,

Steve
