After a quick non-spoiler review of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s 2010 Concert Tour, Luke and Carrie give a lengthy review of their new favorite PodCast, “Flat 29’s Big Book Of Everything”, hosted by and featuring comedy music of Dan, Charlie, and Rich of the British comedy music group Flat 29. We also discuss more cool British things than you can shake your spotted dick at. We have comedy songs from the movies “Shock Treatment” (made by Brits), “the Jungle Book” (Yanks pretending to be Brits), and the new YouTube hit by The Damsels of Dorkington (not British, so just think of them as the Spice Girls if they performed at Renaissance fairs). After News of the Stupid, we explain the unexplained (rash), the usual pluggery of the Funny Music Project (The FuMP dot com), and we finally get the definitive answer as to why specifically “Star Trek V” sucked so much. Yes, life is but a dream.

As we discuss the future (Star Trek 5?), and the past (Zoolander?), we play music by MC Frontalot, Possible Oscar, and Futurama.

We also give the rundown of comments on last episode’s special event, “U Pick Luke’s FuMP”! Did your favorite song parody idea get picked? You’ll have to listen to find out!

As well as the usual News of the Stupid, Carrie talks about drunk freaks on the city bus, and Luke asks the philosophical question, “Is everyone else in the planet an idiot, or is it just me?” I think we all know the answer to that.

There are two main components of this fortnight’s episode. The first is our report on the epic awesomeness of w00tstock Chicago, which also inspired our song picks for this week. We got tracks by Paul & Storm, Wil Wheaton & MC Frontalot, a song about Adam Savage’s show “Mythbusters” by Devo Spice, and songs by Molly Lewis and Tim Cavanaugh.

The second main component is “U Pick Luke’s FuMP”, in which Luke describes 10 abandoned song ideas of his from the past 15 years, and if you like one or more of them, you can leave a comment on this episode here and tell us which one(s) it is, and if any particular song(s) gets a lot of support from the you, the Luke Ski super-fans, he will consider making them and posting them at the FuMP dot com. (The first comment below is from Luke, containing a typed list of the ideas as a reference for you to use after you’ve listened to the show.)

The show also has News of the Stupid, an in depth explanation of the final scene from our puppet video episode, and tales of robots who try to teach Luke how to be a safe driver by talking to him like he’s a kindergartner. For realsies.

It’s our shortest podcast since Episode 8 back in January, clocking in at a mere 1:36. Carrie and Josh have returned from their 1st Anniverary trip to Hawaii via Arizona, and in this episode they tell us all about it. After News of the Stupid, Luke rants about the ignorance of Fedex Office, makes an announcement regarding his next album, and tells of baffling requests for caricatures of celebrities. This episode also has Hawaiian music by Brak, Spike Jones, and Barnes & Barnes, as well as one of the remakes from the great Luke Ski’s Greatest Hits 2-CD set. So as they say in Hawaii, Auf Wiedersehen!

Even though this is not a full-fledged episode, a fact made most apparent by an almost complete lack of Carrie Dahlby and News of the Stupid, somehow this episode still managed to hit the 2 1/2 hour mark. This episode was made as a bonus for everyone out there who is a fan of the new sketch comedy group, “Cirque du So What?”, comprised of Devo Spice, ShoEboX of Worm Quartet, Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad, and yours truly, the great Luke Ski. In it we answer all your questions and give you behind the scenes stories of the making of our first album, “Procrastinators of the Apocalypse”, with some segments recorded at KeyCon in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Canada! Home of the Arrogant Worms! At the end of the episode, I recorded a special segment in which I discuss the series finale of “LOST” with the effervescent Voice Of Kiki, because she had a lot of interesting thoughts on her blog, and because Carrie doesn’t watch “Lost”. So if you’re not into CdSW or Lost, just skip this episode, we’ll have a new regular one complete with Carrie and Stupid News up in a few days. At the very least go look at the new YouTube video of a CdSW track that Sara, Chris, and I made.

This episode has songs by Insane Ian, the Muppets, MC Frontalot, and the Former Fat Boys. It has a bunch of other stuff too, but I’m so tired right now I could pass out. I seem to remember something about Jim Henson being awesome, the demise of the video store industry, and girl scouts with pet skunks. Hey, look at this completely nonsensical YouTube video we made. See? Told you it was nonsensical. God, I’m tired.

Is it wise to record a PodCast the day after you return from a long weekend convention that’s 5 hours away from home? No, it isn’t. But we did it anyway. So prepare yourself for the least energetic show ever. We discuss the nation’s most pressing political issue: KFC’s Double Down sandwich. We also do a PenguiCon Wrap-up, and Luke breaks down the aliases of his monkey puppets. We also have comedy tracks by Patton Oswalt, Worm Quartet, The Lonely Island featuring Natalie Portman, and Dr. Steve of The Radio Adventures Of Dr. Floyd. And in case you somehow missed it, please go watch the ten minute long Bad Rapport Video Episode #1, and leave comments for it.

“Blasted Bill and Moonbeam’s Pod Of Destiny” did their first video PodCast earlier this year. It featured a time plot, a green screen, and a tiny net. Here are links to watch it on YouTube: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 (Each part is 10 minutes long, so if you’re pressed for time, just watch Part 3, that’s the most important part).  It ended with a gauntlet thrown in the faces of Luke Ski and Carrie Dahlby to create a video PodCast that would top theirs. So Carrie and I are brought the fight to their turf, and world premiered the first ever video installment of our PodCast “Luke & Carrie’s Bad Rapport” at PenguiCon in Detroit on May 1st, 2010.

Due to how YouTube works, we had to keep the episode to under 10 minutes, so we managed to do an encapsulated version of our PodCast complete with four comedy music tracks, News of The Stupid, and many of the regular segments you tolerate so much. If you enjoy it, please tell your friends about it on line by sharing the YouTube link and/or the link to Bad Rapport .com, and also please leave comments for us here letting you know what you thought of the show. If there is enough demand, we will do more in the future. Thanks for reading, and we hope you love it!

It’s EPISODE 13! So get ready for the longest episode to date, chock full of stuff for all the hard core Luke Ski fans out there! Learn about the depths of his neuroticism as talks about his self-perceived failures as the preeminent Star Wars musical satirist of the late 90’s / early 2000’s! Stand agape as he tells of song ideas from the past that were so bad, that he himself can’t even remember what they were all about! Hear him recite A Capella THREE NEVER BEFORE HEARD PARODY SONGS from his notebook archives! Also in this episode we discuss people who don’t know how magnets work, Carrie tells us about her trip to the Wisconsin Dells and her experiences performing the Opera “La Boheme”, we describe the worst movies we have ever seen, more song origins, and Luke tells us where he’s not performing this summer. All that plus comedy tracks by Ookla The Mok, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Cirque du So What, Carla Ulbrich, and the Muppets, jam packed into a special edition jumbo-sized 2 1/2 hour long Episode 13!

Well, the title pretty much explains everything you need to know, but I’m too OCD to not type something here, so here goes. It’s Luke & Moonbeam & Carrie & Blasted Bill’s Bad Pod Rapport Of Destiny, Episode 2, our Post-MarsCon 2010 Wrap-up Report! Recorded Sunday night March 7th in Nate Boi’s hotel room after all of MarsCon 2010’s activities had come to an end. We had a room full of friends & artists, including Brendan from Nuclear Bubble Wrap, Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad, and Insane Ian who didn’t say anything during the whole episode. Perhaps he was deep in contemplation on which MarsCon T-shirt he should order from Spreadshirt. In any case, here’s 18 minutes of post-con-nal bliss. Enjoy! (P.S. This year’s Dementia Macros Contest has begun! Go enter today!)
