The John Miller Program with Susan Maletta, Aug. 3

Are you the type of person who would be curious about what it’s like to have not one, not two, but THREE testicles? Do you have Tri-Testicular Envy? Are you Tri-Testicularly Curious (Tri-Curious)? Not particularly? Do you at least enjoy hearing comedians talk about their psychological, emotional, and/or physical impairments and/or appendages? If so, then you will want to re-play last week’s show. We interviewed Chris Schiappacasse and his three special guests, all of whom live together peacefully in his underwear. (Their names are “Larry, Curly, and Blow”.) Susan ended up sexually harassing Chris with a relentless onslaught of demeaning, invasive, yet provocative questioning about his 3 little pigs in a blanket.

Big, 3-ball-smashing hugs and sloppy, wet kisses to all the comedians who came to talk about comedy, offer advice to new comics, and amuse us all--Reggie Steele, Anthony Hill, Phil Perrier, Rob Breckenridge, Sammy Obeid, Chris Schiappacasse, Robert Peterson, and Gary Penovich. Do yourself a huge favor and download the last show from http://www.fccfree.com/ because that show was off the hiz-nuts!

This week we have one hilarious redneck, he's king of the one-liners, tune in to hear Bob Johnston and find out what he's been up to. Also on the JMP, we have the very cool and funny, Dave McRae! Dave has appeared in comedy clubs all over California, most recently the Ice House in Pasadena for a live taping for the Comedy Time Network. Catch him soon on ComedyTimeTv.com! Dave also makes regular appearances at the Laugh Factory and San Jose Improv, as well as many other venues. Engaging, charming, and delightful, we are happy to have Dave in the studio to entertain us!

In the second hour, we have a WARNING: Ali Mafi will be sexually harassing Justin McClure! These laughs CAN and WILL hurt you. We are putting Ali Mafi and Justin McClure in the one room together for one whole hour. So get your Kleenexes, your hand sanitizers, your hot wet towels, your paparazzi, and your cameras.

A quote from Ali Mafi:

“I'm Ali. You probably already know me. Yes honey, I am a celebrity. What? No, I am not that fat guy from the Mighty Ducks. Good Lord... My name is Ali Mafi, I am a Stand Up Comic and student from San Francisco. I'm the world’s only funny gay, fat, Muslim. (The other gay fat Muslims are soooooo unfunny). I enjoy reading...pornographic magazines, watching television...that includes naked people, and long walks on the beach...that end in butt sex. I'm a super liberal (can ya tell?) who hates Bush...because I'm from San Francisco and its the LAW. I enjoy good friends...I LOVE JANICE...but not in a hetero-disgusting way. I have a bunch of shows coming up so message me and I'll get you the details. Only for people with sense of humor...all others, please report to any sanctioned USF event. Let's see..., what else, what else...hmmm I guess that's all for now. Wanna hear my comedy? Thought So! Check it out: www.alimafi.com.”

Justin McClure is more energy than a lightening bolt coming out of a nuclear power plant and more likeable than an ABBA disco CD at a gay pride parade. His affable presence and caustic rapid-fire wit make him an immediate fan favorite wherever he goes. Displaying unique energy and an infectious personality, Justin is as original as he is hilarious. His material ranges from edgy ramblings, observations of life, relatable topics and personal life experiences. Justin was a semi-finalist in NBC's Last Comic Standing, winner of the SJ Comedy Competition, was featured in the independent film "How to Make a Woman Laugh" (Sundance), and has performed with the top talent in the industry.

The John Miller Program with Susan Maletta, July 27

First and Foreskin, we want to thank last week's guests for warming our hearts and bellies with sweet laughter. We enjoyed the comedy stylings of Brendan Lynch, Tony Sparks, Kaseem Bentley, Caitlin Gill, and Chris Burns. Fun was had by all including some silly call-in guests. You can catch the silliness anytime by downloading the shows from http://www.fccfree.com/.

Now..is it getting hot in here or is Sammy Obeid coming to the JMP? Oh yeah that's right, first up on the JMP this week, we are proud to bring you the charming and funny Sammy Obeid alongside a very "special" guest. Sammy Obeid was this year's FIRST PLACE WINNER of the Rooster T. Feathers Comedy Competition, performs with the Co-Exist Comedy Tour, and hosts the lively Mission Pizza Comedy Showcase in Fremont. He is funny, talented, AND young and hot, which makes him major cougar-prey. Listen to Susan sexually harass him.

Next is our "special" guest. His last name is 13 letters long. He has a 7- foot bong. Not only that...he has THREE testicles, people. (I'm betting he can hold that bong up pretty well on that huge, 3-ball sack of his!) He likes to discuss matters of weed and hookers openly. Sammy Obeid calls him "muse". (We shall find out why.) Ladies and gentleman, may we introduce to you a legend in his own mind, the wonderfully infamous (and famous to a select, lucky few) Chris Schiappacasse. (That's "Shee - Ya - Pah - KAH *- Say").

Also on the program... Robert Peterson and Gary Penovich!

Robert Peterson's comedic style has been described as funny (by his friends) and even dry, with hints of oak and cherry. (He should stop playing those art and wine festivals!) Robert is a huge fan of observational comics such as Jerry Seinfeld and Ellen Degeneres. He tries to supply his own take on the continual weirdness that is Corporate America and Bay Area lifestyle, if only to make sense of it himself. He works in the high-tech industry, so there's usually a ready supply of the bizarre to tap into and try to make sense of.

Gary Penovich was born and raised in a small, quiet Northeastern hamlet known as New York City. His home was nestled in the quaint neighborhood of fishing boats and lighthouses, known as Sheepshead Bay. To this day, even 3000 miles away, in the hustling, bustling megalopolis of the Santa Clara Valley, if he squints his ears, he can almost hear the faint memory of those bygone Brooklyn fog horns, and the hearty cries of the local fisherman, "Are you gonna buy the fucking fish or not, lady?" Those were kinder, gentler times. And, Gary brings that same gentle kindness to his comedy act.

Finally, we are thrilled to bring out the extra big guns ...the fabulously hilarious Reggie Steele and Susan's favorite comedian in the bay area, the beloved Anthony Hill!!! WOO-HOOOO!!!!

A native of Alabama, Reggie Steele started his comedy career in the vibrant city of San Francisco and now he is considered a star on the rise in the local comedy scene. In 2007 Reggie was a finalist for NBC’s Stand-Up for Diversity Showcase, he was also featured on the second season of Martin Lawrence Presents, and in 2008 he traveled overseas to perform for the troops. He has worked with some of comedy’s brightest stars from Dave Chappelle, Ian Bagg, Arj Barker, Damon Wayans, Freddy Soto, Pablo Francisco, to Wanda Sykes and many more. He’s funny, charismatic, and smart. His natural way of telling stories and unique outlook has made him a favorite to a wide variety of audiences. Ask Reggie and he’ll say "he’s just doing what he loves to do" and that’s apparent every time he takes the stage.

Growing up in Oroville Ca. (where gravy is considered a beverage) Anthony Hill soaked in and rebelled against his redneck surroundings. As with most comedians, he was the class clown spending lots of time in the principal’s office. Anthony has performed in every major comedy club in the Bay Area including the Punchline, Cobbs Comedy Club, and the San Jose Improv, where he is considered a ‘favorite’, sharing the stage with national headliners such as Brett Butler, Maria Bamford, Willie Barcena, Robert Schimmel, Darrell Hammond, Jeff Dunham, Bob Saget, and Brian Regan. Anthony is also busy working in small clubs, corporate functions, comedy festivals, and major benefits every week of the year.

The John Miller Program with Susan Maletta, July 20

Our ratings keep climbing wayyy higher and higher thanks to all these talented, hilarious comics coming to the studio each week for the fun and mayhem. Every week we get higher statistics of listeners, downloaders, and masturbators. We thank all our supportive listeners and all of our joyful masturbators for tuning in and turning ON baby! Yeah!

A BIG THANKS to our wonderful guests who entertained us all last week: Kurt Weitzman, Uncle Howard, Gail Jones, Burtis Cutler, Dan F'n Wilson, and Lindsay Blaz. All comics rocked the air waves and we look forward to having each of them back. If you didn't catch this show, you can listen to the archived episode (or any other episode) at
http://www.fccfree.com/.

It's a line-up of fierce talent this week on the JMP. Check this out. We have Tony Sparks, Brendan Lynch, Kevin Munroe, and Caitlin Gill. 'Nuff said. Grab your dial and roll it real nice over to 87.9 fm.

Tony Sparks, known to all in the SF area as the Father of SF Comedy, is one of the nicest and funniest comedians you can meet. He's also one of the best comedy hosts you could be entertained by. Wonderfully supportive to comics of all levels (newbies to veterans), he helps make stage time available to anyone who wants it. Tony Sparks is a class act when it comes to professionalism, supporting the comedy community, and bringing non-stop laughs and fun to us all. He hosts a hugely popular open mic in the SF bay area, the famed Brain Wash CafĂ© in San Francisco. This is where NO ONE gets turned down for stage time. Tony enlists the entire audience, every week, to welcome every new comedian with “A Lot of Love!!!” What? "A LOT OF LOVE!!!!!!" Tony Sparks can also be found performing comedy and emceeing shows all over the place, and he produces and promotes several shows himself.

Brendan Lynch has been wow-ing audiences all over the SF bay area with his extremely clever and understated, dry and dead-pan sense of humor. A brilliant writer and performer and clean-cut dresser, Brendan is an enticing pick for discerning comedy fans…as well as for the ladies! Helloooo! Brendan recently headlined the Laugh Orgy in North Beach and is also part of the Heuristic Squelch Comedy Experience and the Six Feet Excitement shows, and can be found performing in comedy venues throughout the bay area. If you are smart and love to laugh, you will love coming out to one of Brendan’s comedy shows. He is not to be missed!

Kevin Munroe is another very tall and very funny man, originally from Jamaica Mon! Kevin Munroe, Finalist in this year’s Rooster T. Feathers Annual Comedy Competition, is an amazing talent and force to be reckoned with (I reckon’)! He is also just a really cool person, always nice and supportive to other comics in the area, extremely professional, and might I add HILARIOUS. You can catch Kevin at all the major comedy clubs and he makes regular appearances at the SF Punchline.

A rising talent in the San Francisco comedy scene, people are talking about
Caitlin Gill. Most of those are people stuck in conversations with her father, who is really, really excited about his daughter telling dirty jokes in clubs. Since beginning her career in May of 2007, Caitlin has performed all over town, the San Francisco Punchline, the Purple Onion, 12 Galaxies, Club Deluxe, 50 Mason, and the Comedy Station, to name a few. She is also the host of the "For Ladies Only" Open Mic at the Brainwash, and "For Ladies Only" Showcase at Club Deluxe. Her style twists her personal experiences into engaging bits and stories, and drops phrases in your ear that will later litter your lexicon. Check out her calendar to see her live! Her videos are coming soon, chill.

Tune in and we'll turn you on!

The John Miller Program with Susan Maletta, July 13

This Sunday, we're a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll! That's right, John and Susan become the mischievous alter egos of Donny and Marie Osmond....minus the purple socks, minus the incest...but add the Coors.

Two comedians this week are a little bit of country (not counting John) and the other three are a little bit Rock-N-Roll. First up on the JMP, we have classic rock mixed with hotness: Brendan Lynch is on the program again!

Brendan Lynch is HUGE in the Bay Area comedy scene, and not just because he is 6’6” ! A proud Santa Cruz native, Brendan has been WOW-ing audiences all over the area with his extremely clever and understated, dry and dead-pan sense of humor. A brilliant writer/performer and clean-cut dresser, Brendan is an enticing pick for discerning comedy fans…as well as for the ladies! Helloooo! Brendan recently headlined the Laugh Orgy in North Beach and is also part of the Heuristic Squelch Comedy Experience and the Six Feet Excitement shows, and can be found performing in comedy venues throughout the bay area. If you are smart and love to laugh, you will love coming out to one of Brendan’s comedy show. He is not to be missed!

Next up on the JMP...two Southern Comfort Comics, (hey-- that should be the name of a redneck comedy troupe, shouldn't it?) the charming redneck duo, Burtis Cutler and Gail Jones.

Burtis Cutler (A.K.A. "The World's Shortest Redneck") has stocked up his trailer and packed up his cooler with dozens of punchlines and dozens more fishing lines. He's so funny he makes us spit foamy Coors out of our noses! Wonderfully delightful and down-to-earth, expect a lot of laughs from Burtis Cutler as he shares with us many hilarious tales from life in the south.

Gail Jones is a recovering Southern Belle from a little bump in the road town called Hartselle, Alabama. In the late 70’s, she started doing lectures on sex education. She was surprised to find that she had a knack for making people laugh and putting the audience at ease. She combines the insight and humor that she gets from her "day job" as a sex therapist with the laughs and pain of being an older single person in the dating world. Frankly, she’s a relationship therapist that has decided that relationships are "too durn hard."

Gail was a Semi-Finalist in the Rooster T. Feathers Comedy Competition, as well as a finalist in the Battle of the Bay Comedy Competition. You can occasionally catch her TV debut on The New Detectives in the episode Up from the Grave on The Discovery Channel, where she killed a woman for thirty thousand dollars. Gail says she’s done worse for less. She has also co-written two children’s books as well as produced and hosted a cable access show, Let’s Talk About Sex and Loving where she won a BACE Award and WAVE Award. Described as the "Phyllis Diller of the 21st Century," Gail brings her background in lecturing improv, acting and writing to venues all over California where she keeps her audiences laughing all the way home.

Next up on the JMP, it's all Rock-n-Roll, kicked up a notch with some Death Metal and Punk Rock! We have none other than Dan Fuckin' Wilson and Lindsay Blaz on the show!

Struttin' her stuff in her high heels, skin-tight jeans, and brightly colored mohawk, Lindsay Blaz has slammed into the violent mosh pit we call the San Francisco comedy scene! She's a super funny up-and-coming comedian from Santa Cruz and she's a really cool chick, so let's show her a lot of love and welcome her into the mix. Lindsay hosts a popular and very fun comedy show in downtown Santa Cruz at the Blue Lagoon on Thursday nights.

Whether it's the light-hearted and goofy side of life, or the dark and mundane, chances are Dan F'n Wilson will find a way to put a humorous twist on the topic. Dan's comedy is a no-holds-barred look at everything from politics and pop culture, to relationships and his own family life. Being a native of the San Francisco Bay Area has given his comedy a diverse edge with a unique viewpoint that few other comedians share. Mix his personal take on the world with a high-energy delivery that few are able to match, and you get an explosive look at the world through the eyes of one of the most entertaining performers to come out of the bay area in many years. Dan makes his home in the East bay, and is a regular performer at some of the biggest clubs around Northern California.
