Juskow in the City

  • The Steak and Scotch Sunday

    01:00:06|
    It's election day in the USA. Good luck everyone. Here's a nice easy going podcast only mentioning a nice voting experience and putting a little Teri Garr tribute together. -- Oh and talking about having Steak and Shrimp and Scotch and Wine and watching football with awesome friends. Awe! The only thing I think I complained about this week was a student telling me they're not coming to class because they were trick or treating. What the. . .🎃
  • 141. How Do You Know We're Not Together

    59:20||Season 4, Ep. 141
    Here's one for you: You're at a restaurant and the waitress says "the guys over there think you're really beautiful". I mean I obviously said thank you at first until I realized they were talking about my date. I mean -- Rude, or do you think that's ok? That's this week's question.I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen! Also, a free t-shirt for kicking the Octoberfest Keg in Asbury Park and the new Japanese movie, "River".
  • 140. An NYC Metropolitan in Dodgers Court

    01:02:54||Season 4, Ep. 140
    My yearly jaunt to Los Angeles couldn't have gone better as the New York Mets were also in town and really stuck it to the LA Dodgers in the middle of the afternoon on a random Monday. Other than that let's see, oh right, I hung out and spent time with the great Jeff Goldbum, Patton Oswald, Larry David and Judd Apatow. The Randy Newman song "I Love L.A." is going through my head right now but I'm always happy to be back in NYC where once again there was a Sam Adams Octoberfest disaster. So, don't worry, nothing's changed. 😂
  • 139. Professor Juskow's 1981 in Film

    01:03:38||Season 4, Ep. 139
    Welcome to Professor Juskow's 1981 in film. This episode's class will cover all the action of the year 1981. We're talking about An American Werewolf in London and how it changed make-up in motion pictures forever; Stripes - which would set up the pairing of Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis and Bill Murray for the blockbuster Ghostbusters; the little known Looker - written and directed by Jurassic Park author Michael Creighton and way ahead of it's time with talk of AI and how it would effect the future; Oliver Stone's first written and directed film with Michael Caine called The Hand; and of course, most importantly Chariots of Eggs - the SCTV version of the awful Chariots of Fire starring Hall & Oates - I mean COME ON! 🤣 Please show up to get credit.
  • 138. Hans Christian Andersen Gets Cancelled

    56:33||Season 4, Ep. 138
    Today's riveting true story of the time Hans Christian Andersen spent a few weeks at the house of Charles Dickens and did some despicable things. Oh it's true. I'm a college professor - this is what I research. Also, an old fashioned "Fudgie The Whale" carvel cake saves the day and the awful walk underneath the stupid 7 train in Queens. A Juskow in the City boroughs episode. Let's Go Mets!
  • 137. Know Which Side Your Bread is Buttered on

    01:00:14||Season 4, Ep. 137
    "You're not going to believe this". . . he said in Juskow in the City like terms. . . If you're a listener to this podcast -- another classic grated cheese like incident at the diner. Of course if you've never listened, you'd be like. . . this sounds dumb but. . . we know 😉. Also, performing at the Broadway Comedy Club where the overflow audience is actually on the stage with you; and the long Monday Night where I may have found a new happy place that likes Broadway and Football. Where have you been all my life? 😅
  • 136. Cool for Cats

    01:07:39||Season 4, Ep. 136
    Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - don't even think about saying it again as I went to the Upper West Side to see the extremely fun sequel with friends who were extremely late. Grrrr. Also, seeing the band Squeeze in Central Park - well not seeing them - hearing them while walking around Central Park in the dark, which was incredibly entertaining, even though all the bathrooms were locked. Lame. And finally, a late night ride on the Boulevard of Death. That truly is what Queens Boulevard is called and even though it may feel safe in the dedicated bike lane, that nickname alone, stays with you.
  • 135. Wreck on the Highway

    59:26||Season 4, Ep. 135
    This week the first tailgate of the season at the Meadowlands and forgetting that ears get sunburnt too. And what is magic meat dust? Then the big first Monday Night game of the season and Disney has decided not to air it so all the bartenders lose out on a profitable evening you jerks. And finally, the president comes to town and almost ruins my day - as usual.
  • 134. Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out

    57:02||Season 4, Ep. 134
    On today's episode, it's the first day of class again in the classrooms I have apparently been banished too. BUT, lo and behold my old students rally around to have me move to where I belong. Isn't that nice? Also, major stomach issues on the train where me and the mayor's of Red Bank and Asbury Park, NJ all had a lovely Day at the Races and a picture with jockey great, Paco Lopez in the winner's circle. And finally, my car finally dies. Just shuts off in the middle of Tenth Avenue. YIPES! But, great podcast fodder so. . . you're welcome.
