Hans Christian Andersen Gets Cancelled

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!

  • 146. Christmasaurus

    43:36||Season 4, Ep. 146
    This week everything falls apart at the old age home and they tell me never to come back. But it's just one horrible old woman. As it turns out even though all the electronics went out, they seemed to be fascinated with my 45 lecture of how I got into show business - I mean, who wouldn't be? And of course my james mason and ruth gordon imitations. I mean. . . . Then we went out to the Christmas Pop Up bar. Tis the season already. Next week -- "Wicked". Oh boy.
  • 145. Conclave

    01:00:09||Season 4, Ep. 145
    Well yes I did go to see the movie Conclave, where people in the theater don't shut up (Who's that guy again?) Ugh. But also, I was misled into a basement podcast on a table with no microphones and where they store the liquor for the building next door. I was lucky to get out alive 😅 - AND, I run into girls from Florida and let the Saki Bombs begin. I wish I were kidding. Remember Anything Goes in Florida.
  • 144. Gilbert Gottfried Still Screaming

    01:00:49||Season 4, Ep. 144
    This week Gilbert Gottfried's first comedy album ever was released entitled "Still Screaming". It's an awesome double album and I was part of the launch party along with Chevy Chase and Paul Schaffer. Yeah, you heard right. Unfortunately, I got a sty in my eye and had to wear woman's sunglasses the whole time BUT -- podcast gold, right? Also, I try the Indian food "Dosa" (whatever that is) and although the girl that I went with said this would be her last execution meal, it should not be anyone's last execution meal. Let's just leave it at that. A nacho hat would be the way to go. Don't you think?
  • 143. The Bodega Cat Whisky Challenge

    01:07:14||Season 4, Ep. 143
    The new president was announced last week and it's another four year nightmare for Dave Juskow as my Trump Tower Parking Garage will once again become a logistical nightmare. Sigh. So with that being said, I was going to take the PATH train to Hoboken but somebody got murdered so apparently there's no way to get anywhere anymore. It's over folks. See you in 2028. (but we'll still have fun 😅) - like my incredible Arthur imitation where some girl thought I was actually British and that wasted. Classic
  • 142. The Steak and Scotch Sunday

    01:00:06||Season 4, Ep. 142
    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

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.
