Tater's Big Show Hangover - One More Round

This week I'm catching up on your comments after my visit with Jackie, answering a few listener questions, and sharing a couple of things I've noticed lately.... Why have hotel rooms become so high=tech while still getting the basics wrong? And whatever happened to people actually leaving voicemail messages? I'm clueless... We'll also dive into some Tatertainment News, hear a few classic bits, and...

Behind the mic and Behind the scenes. This time we dig deeper into what she actually did behind the scenes on The Big Show, what she loved about being on the show, and - yes - what she didn't love quite as much. We talk about the family feeling that made the show so special...from the people in the studio to the listeners who felt like they were right there with us. Plus, we revisit some classic s...

Coffee with Co-Worker Jackie Curry, Part 1! If you've listened to The Big Show over the years, you are well aware of who Jackie is. We finally sat down for coffee (and a bite of lunch) and turned the microphones on... In this first part, Jackie shares her origin story, how she ended up working with John Boy & Billy, what she's doing now, and parts of her "old job" she still does today. We also...

This week, I want to start by saying Thank You . The love, personal stories, prayers and messages after Murphie's passing have meant more that I can put into words. I'm reading every one of them. We tackle an important modern-life question: When did the grocery store become a dating destination? Apparently Harris Teeter now has a Taproom... which means you can meet someone in the Produce Departmen...

This episode, I needed to lean on my Big Show Family. I had to help Murphie, my almost 10 year old lab mix (her Birthday would have been 6/10), cross the 🌈 Rainbow Bridge. It's been a difficult week, day and night. I do have some visits from our friends though: Hoyt Oliver Glenn, Randy's neighbor, who watched his dog for him. And a Poem from Paul Harvey .. that says it all. Thank You for your und...

This week, Barry and I tend to the garden... and I have questions. Specifically: how many peas does one plant make, and why do we suddenly appear to be preparing to feed multiple families? We've also got a fresh round of Tatertainment, some fantastic listener comments from around the Hangover, and a visit from a few familiar friends. This episode includes: The purple hull pea situation Tatertainme...

Our Friendship has lasted through decades of radio, life, laughter and chaos! ... Plus - the wiener dog shirt from my pet store trip made an appearance too. Just one of those weeks where I sit down with you, c...

This Episode is a little pride, a little perspective, and a little "how did we get old enough for THIS?!" Marci shares stories from nephew Carson's college graduation and commissioning as a U.S. Navy Officer, nephew Miles being named Athlete of The Year along with MVP honors in football and track, and the strange emotional experience of watching the next generation step into adulthood while you're...

I didn't plan this episode to go this way.. it kind of built itself. I started reading your comments, question, and messages - and instead of just answering them, I realized they were leading me somewhere. This episode turns into a mix of listener thoughts, real-life stories, and few "Oh yah, that's actually true!" moments along the way. It's a little looser, more reflective mixed with some honest...

I thought this was going to be a simple Q&A episode...it didn't go that way. It went better. Between recovering from Sally's birthday party and digging into your questions about my last episode and the old radio show, this turned into something bigger - what radio was really like behind the mic... and why doing a podcast now feels completely different. In This Episode: Still recovering from Sa...

This episode starts with a voicemail my nephew Miles left me when he was 3 - wishing me a Happy Birthday. I used it this week to wish his Mom a Happy 50th Birthday - and somehow that turned into a few more bday messages, including one from a listener. I took a CPR class Y'all and didn't expect how much I'd walk away thinking about - not just what to do, but how much awareness and courage it takes...

Marci's back with a mix of real life, real talk, and the kind of observations that make you go - "wait, when did that happen?" This Week: Inflation has officially gotten personal (bread, seriously?) A moment Remembering Raiford and why those still stick with us. A quick round of Tatertainment Listener comments that made me laugh - and made me think. It's one of those episodes that bounces from fun...

I thought I didn't have anything for this week...turns out I've just been making questionable life choices again. Spring Break going antiquing with my 9-year-old nephew who has the soul of a retiree... to a side hustle that went very, very wrong... this one kinda figured itself out as we went. Listener comments + bits The side hustle situation (we'll just say that's not how that's supposed to work...

This episode has a little bit of everything -some things I noticed this week, a good bit of Tatertainment I missed the last couple episodes, and a few listener comments (including a couple that might bring back some old bits). I'll take a minute to shout out to some of the Tater Hangover Crew - I see ya, and I appreciate ya being here. Thanks for being part of this ride! And an update from Outdoor...

Part 2 of Coffee with a Coworker: Pillars Edition and yes... Punch the Orphan Monkey now has a young lady friend. This is where the stories and the actual bits come together - how they started, what was happening behind the scenes, and how some of the most ridiculous ideas made it on the air. Also in this episode: The unexpected evolution of "Punch the Oprhan Monkey" SNL UK makes its debut (we hav...

Who created some of those crazy characters you know and love from the old show? For Episode 10, I sat down for coffee with Jeff Pillars - to talk about when he joined the show, some characters & bits and what actually went on behind the scenes when those moments were made. This is NOT a formal interview (if you know anything about us, we are far from formal) - it's just two old Friends remembe...

Tater's been noticing some things this week - including news headlines about an orphan monkey named Punch that caused her about ten seconds of serious confusion.

Episode 8: Observations Are Comedy Gold Sometimes the funniest things aren't punchlines - but patterns. In this episode, I'm talking about why observations are the secret ingredient in great comedy. From Billy's uncanny ability to notice the tiny human behaviors the rest of us miss...to how those moments turn into something bigger once they hit the page. Also in this episode: A fresh round of Tate...

Some stories just had to wait. Tater answers a Big Question that couldn't be talked about on the air back then and why podcasting gives those stories a place to live now. From listener questions that went unanswered, to how certain characters and comedy bits were born completely off-the-cuff, this is a look at how the magic actually happened .. In this episode: Murphie's health update A small but...

Andy joins me to catch up, have some coffee talk (literally), and share a great behind-the-scenes story. There’s also a birthday mention, a few observations about those telemarketer calls that always seem to come at the worst time, and plenty of laughs along...

Episode 2: Settling In In Episode 2, I'm settling into the rhythm of this new chapter - telling a few stories, having a laugh and not rushing. I talk about how Barry and I ended up together, how I've missed having a dog in the studio, a strange dog DNA story that stunned me, and how I'be been mimicking people since I was a kid - which eventually led to impressions becoming part of my life on the r...
