We talk about stand-up comedians, southern wrestlers, confrontational preachers, sci-fi authors, and existential crises. Also, music from quite possibly the greatest band of all time... Hickey.

Roger Nygard is the filmmaker behind "Trekkies," "Trekkies 2," and the new documentary "The Nature of Existence," which looks at the similarities and differences between religious, scientific, and atheistic worldviews on life, the universe, and everything. In part one of their conversation with Roger, Gene and Brodie cover his vast television and film career, his role in stand-up comedy, his observations about evolution theory and human behavior, the power of Gumby, the trickery of car salesmen, and the ethical minefields that are Oreo cookies and Porto's bread. Plus, a preview of next week's episode, which gets deeper into Roger's new documentary and finds him quizzing Brodie on his existential crisis. Also, the music of Vashti Bunyan.

James Adomian, live from the Dresden Room in Hollywood, California! Only here, on The Shakeytown Radio Hour! James talks to Gene and Brodie about his stand-up, sketch, acting, and writing career and his impersonations of Jesse Ventura, Alex Jones, Brody Stevens, Paul F. Tompkins, Eddie Pepitone, and many more. The conversation also turns to “Saturday Night Live” and their monopoly on network television sketch comedy, archaic recording formats, the hotness of Mario Van Peebles, tense phone calls from Huell Howser, and the impending apocalypse and takeover of Earth by octopus people. Also featuring… the music of Marty and Elayne!
