Please check out Modern Day Philosophers with Danny Lobell.

Today on the "needs to have a name asap show" Danny Lobell and Justy Dodge argue over the most important meal of the day. Kevin Allison of the RISK podcast drops by to talk about boot licking, cigarette eating, and rice queens. Author Keith Fenimore tells the crew how to make it in hollywood and comedian Mike Recine argues that he's not a dick. Throw Nick Noto aka "Big Muff" into the mix and we have a jam packed show. When you pack jam things get messy.

Welcome back to another debatably Musical Monday, our intrepid hosts Danny and Esther are joined in the studio by comedian Peyton Clarkson, Larry King, and the world renown Benjy Susswein, comedian booker extroadinaire. We discuss the highs and lows of the club booking lifestyle and why Yeshiva University is such a hotbed for rising talent in the field. Danny offers Benjy a new stage name that he thinks will appeal to both the black and Jewish comedy communities, so keep a lookout for Abaramowitz Washington, a soon to be legend in his own time. Inexplicably, we have Larry King in the studio to discuss life, love, and the importance of the pre-nup. Larry attempts to compliment Danny, which he swiftly undercuts, corrects the legend, and then recieves wise words of advice from America's greatest interviewer. Larry talks about his several broadcasting horror stories. Rock Hudson's widow comes to mind as one of those "Oh my God. It's only been four minutes and we have an hour to fill" interviews. Esther Ku tries to woo our special guest with her song "Hey, Larry King". Amongst all of the Larry King marriage proposal songs this has to be the almost best. To end the day Larry says what everyone was thinking when he stated "You guys are weird." All said and done a great show and a special thanks again to Mr. King for doing it.

Today on the show Danny Lobell is joined by former guests Janine Brito and Peyton Clarkson as special co- hosts. Chris Iacono had his testicle sized tonstacles removed, so he couldn't be present for the show. Illustrator Avery Monsen and Comedian Ian Edwards drop by for a thought provoking show. Danny let's the audience know they are welcome in his house unless they are english,indian, ethiopian, german, brazilian, or any other ethnicity Danny has ever encountered. Avery talks about the verbally abusive woman who actually helped his work out. We put Peyton Clarkson's southern liberalism to the test as he is surrounded by people of different races, religions, and sexual orientations. All this and such questions such as: why can't funeral's be fun?, what happened to the good chicken? , and most importantly who really wrote "Nacho Libre"? Tune into find out . Same "Comical Radio" time and hopefully the same location.

Today on the show Danny Lobell and Esther Ku bring you the debut of "Ku and the Jew". On this debut episode we find out shocking secrets such as :Esther's laughing cost her a job at a pen company and that people don't like Danny when they first meet him. Aviv Cohen of the one man band "The Widest Smiling Faces" swings by to perform and debate the necessity of the word "The". Comedian Kevin Bartini informs the crew about the effort to rename a street for former guest and comedy icon George Carlin. All this and Brian Gari: author, song writer, performer, and maybe most importantly the grandson of the guy who came up with the "Looney Tunes" theme visits the show. Don't miss this mostly musical monday show that is "Ku and the Jew".

Still reeling from their recent eviction, Danny, Chris, and comedian Jamie Lee start the show with a lively discussion of Haunted Houses, wherein we learn the French versions are just hotbeds for molestation, and a veritable round table on Chris' new facial hair and whether he more closely resembles Mario, Luigi, or a Jewish Doctor. Thanks to Danny's tireless preparation, we learn Chris has recently switched to whole wheat pizza, is pining for a red panda, and has taken up listening to Tim [Tony] Robbins, all of which he considers a ridiculous betrayal of the man he used to be. This does, however, lead to a gripping preview of Danny's yet-to-be released inspirational tapes, touted as the "Tae Bo of motivational speaking". The arrival of writer/actor John Lutz turns conversation to the worst show's the group has performed in, including a nerdogram at a retirement party, an Indian "homecoming", a Hurricane Katrina fundraiser in a Chinese restaurant, and a benefit at a trapeze school in Brooklyn. Comedian Mike Lawrence joins the group for a dissection of Hollywood's aging A-list, and the impossibility of Carlos Mencia redeeming himself. Finally, comic Josh Accardo arrives to discuss Genevieve's tits, which can be seen in the much anticipated release of her short film, Retardian Angel, possibly the greatest premise for a film since Mall Cop. Josh attempts to promote his own movie but finds it somewhat overshadowed by the implausible brilliance of a deceased Mongoloid turned guardian angel.

Live from his apartment Today Danny goes solo while we welcome back comedian Harry Terjanian in the first episode back from being kicked out of Time Square. They turned the old studio into a haunted house so at-least it was for a reason..Danny Lobell asks the hard hitting questions like why can dogs pee every where and how can I pee through them? It's a hard hitting episode where Harry and Danny get to know each other better by talking about how strict each others parents are . Who won in this battle of the comedians? Well let's just say the winner is the first ever 12 year old jewish Santa Claus. This and the startling revelation that dogs are fun to own. Also the N word might have came up like 10 times.

Dave Willis, creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Squidbillies, calls in. He discusses his inspiration for Aqua Teen and the fact that it is nightmarishly hot in Atlanta.

Chris calls Alex the “brilliantly awkward 24 year old virgin”. Alex blames his lack of sex life on 18 years of Catholic guilt. Warren tells the tale of his first hand job. Amy Winehouse’s toxicology revealed that there were no illegal drugs in her system at the time of her death.

Because they feel bad about physically abusing their interns, Danny and Chris take some voluntary beatings.

Today’s TMI started off with an appearance by political humorist author Brian Sack who is releasing his new book "The B.S of A: A Primer in Politics for the Incredibly disenchanted." We learned Americans should be provided more choices of political parties, kind of like cheeseburgers. Imagine a world where there are only two burgers. We want our McDemopublicans With Sleeze for all, please. Actor Gregory Korostishevsky came on the show and dropped Soviet-isms on us such as “In math there is no much to talk” and “There is no work for squeegee in New York.” He talked about teaching math in Newark, NJ where he is not allowed to hit his students. Dan Naturman then told Gregory, who fled the Soviet Union in 1990, that Newark “must be rough.” Finally an appearance was made by comedian Ralphie May and his wife Lahna Turner.

Today’s guest, Kelly Fastuca, is from Australia and has a great radio accent. Warren is at that creepy stage where he’s been sleeping with the same woman for so long that he wants to live vicariously through other people’s sexual escapades. A 20-year-old babysitter in Connecticut sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy. Chris doesn’t see anything wrong with this. Governor Rick Perry spews a bunch of religious crap. 45, 000 Verizon workers are on strike all screaming "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?” Kelly thinks the didgeridoo is a terrible instrument. Chris makes the genius statement, “I’m a big fan of genetics”. In an effort to find a cure for Alzheimer’s, Koreans have engineered glow-in-the-dark beagles. PETA is going to be pissed!

Chris thinks we need a new holocaust in America where we systematically kill everyone on Wall Street.

During this episode of Too Much Information, Danny Lobell and Dan Naturman are doing this show as a pair seeing as they’re missing a piece to their puzzle, Justy Dodge. Naturman invented a quiz game after Michael Jackson died, however it’s making its debut now since the death of Amy Winehouse. The game is simple: Naturman will begin with a list of celebrities who are the answers, then he will read quotes said by the given celebrities about the topic at hand, the contestants will then guess which celebrity said the quote. Dan Naturman acted as the game show host, Danny Lobell was contestant one and the intern Carla was contestant two. After ten different quotes, Carla the intern beat Danny by a long shot.
