Me Clicking RECord with Dane Curley

Why does Dane's impression of Prince William have a California Surfer Dude accent? You'll just have to listen and learn! This episode asks "Why?" with regard to British Monarchy, and "WTF?" with regard to American Governors treating illegal migrants with cruelty. It's better to laugh when you're dealing with this sort of thing! Donate on Patreon or I'll blow up the Moon. Here. Supported Like You Keep This Show Going. Please donate today. Support the show

Dane reflects on his radical opinion change on Mark Zuckerberg following a recent 3-hour-long interview by the Meta (formerly known as Facebook) CEO. The future of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality sound incredibly interesting, in part thanks to Zuck', and Dane's mind turns to how much more interesting video games such as MMORPGs might become!

In this super-interesting episode, Dane shares the tragic-but-hilarious story of the man who wrote Full Metal Jacket, and riffs about the disclaimer that Turner Classic Movies forced him to watch before he could see Gone with the Wind (as if the movie wasn't long enough!).

Not as flawlessly riffed as the regularly numbered episodes, this "bonus" episode features some random thoughts, and then Dane's candid reflections on the situation surrounding the stabbing of Salman Rushdie, including the fact that he had poked fun at the absurd situation of being the subject of a 'fatwa' as recently as 2017. The ep is not journalistic in the least bit, but covers topics such as free speech and the need for sustained self-security in a perpetually insane world, however unfair that may be to the free speakers. We hope Mr. Rushdie survives and recovers to full health. Support the show

Dane shouts out a badass card magician whose demolishing hecklers on Instagram Reels by performing tricks with the deck upside down.

Dane gets invited to the Instagram Reels Bonus Program for comedy, but can't predict which videos IG will show to his followers. He also shares his thoughts on Bill Burr's new special, and talks about re-entering the world of traditional club-style Stand Up Comedy: why he's writing new material, why it doesn't have to be true to be funny, and when you can see him performing written sets in the future at clubs across New York City.

In Episode 48, Dane reflects on his time at Karate Combat's Live fight week in Orlando, Florida, where he worked on content creation with Bas Rutten & Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson. (Karate Combat Season 4 Event 4 was broadcast live on June 25th, 2022 from the Backlot of Universal Studios Florida.) Dane also very briefly ponders the costs of cryptocurrency, fine art, and housing given the market downturn, reminding listeners to "go for bitcoins, not for buttcoins."

Dane Curley demystifies crowd work, explaining "how the sausage is made" by deconstructing two stand up comedy specials: Todd Barry's The Crowd Work Tour and Andrew Schulz's The Crowd Work Special. Each was filmed and performed with a completely different crowd work technique. Dane also tells the story of a recent comedian's meltdown at his show, and moves off to new topics such as The Intelligence of Robots per Michio Kaku, The Reframing of Human History as posited by Daniel Quinn's The Story of B, and the "Looming" Recession - that - uh - ::checks stocks portfolio:: - aren't we already in?

Dane Curley takes listeners Behind the Scenes of the Underground Stand Up Comedy scene in New York City. What makes the average "Open Mic" such a miserable experience for comedians and guests alike? And what has Dane done to make his own show a Mecca for Brooklyn comics in search of a much more positive experience, and an engaged crowd? Dane reports back on the quirks of his successful live show, titled "Dane Curley's Open Mic Comedy Show" at Freddy's Bar & Backroom in South Slope, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA. It's an interesting episode for anyone interested in stand up comedy at large, and aspiring comedians should pay extra close attention. This episode is brought to you by our Patreon supporters.

Dane Curley riffs on the ~$44B acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, whether it has any real bearing on propagating Free Speech around the world, and whether the phrase "Free Speech" actually has any shared or agreed upon meaning in the first place. How many versions of "Free Speech" are there? And why is it so very expensive? Brought to you solely by Dane Curley's PATREON supporters. Thank you! Support the show

It's a rambler, as Dane moves from his appreciation for the brand new Red Hot Chili Peppers album to his continued fascination in outdoors survival, especially in the wake of recent world events. It's a mostly lighthearted episode to work the podcasting-muscles, after concluding a long break for MCREC. Essentially, this episode skims a bunch of topics that might require deeper, more pointed and thoughtful dives in the near future. Enjoy! Support the show

Episode 43 challenges the narratives of a polarizing American body politic by offering a more reasonable, moderate view on a debate topic that shouldn't have to result in an "Us or Them" answer: Who's right between Neil Young and Joe Rogan? Dane also shares a few reflections on recently meeting so many professional fighters from all corners of the globe. (Hehe, the globe doesn't actually have corners.)

Dane kicks Episode 42 off by wrongfully referring to it as Episode 41, but otherwise swan dives directly into his target topic: a psychotic result of the Chinese Communist Party's illogical "Zero-Covid Policy" (the unbelievable premise that 100% of all covid viruses could be eliminated across the entirety of China and their properties), the senseless killing of THOUSANDS of innocent Hamsters and small pets by Hong Kong government authorities (so far). It's worth being pissed about, but hopefully Dane presents it to ya' in a way that's not entirely unpleasant - he is desperately trying to entertain you after all.

Three related moments in time sharing a date: November 16th. They are, the discovery of L.S.D. by Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman, the birth of Terence McKenna, and the death of Alan Watts.

Dane reads the philosopher Schopenhauer's thoughts on Smart People versus "the pathetic commonplace heads with which the world is crammed," and how that too-heavy-on-the-wrong-side spectrum plays out in societal interactions. Then, he shares Schopy's list of Commonly Held Opinions That Are Wrong (such as Tragedy is more difficult to write than Comedy), sings Talking Heads "Once in a Lifetime," and reads George Carlin's delightfully flowy "Modern Man" monologue. Dane also says "goodbye" at the end of the show, instead of "peace," because he was in a very weird mood today. This episode is brought to you by MCREC's Patreon Supporters. Donate any amount, now!

Finding the humor in nearly being attacked by a psychopathic homophobe in Brooklyn, Dane also finds his way to a meditation on the brilliance of the classic Western film High Noon starring Gary Cooper. This may be the longest advertisement for an old movie you'll ever hear, but it should surely entertain you! Thanks Patreon supporters! You rock! Sorry this episode took long to get out!
