The Matt Cockburn Fake Radio Show

 

 MC007- Episode 7 The Season Finale with Steph Jones [95:13m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Subtitle: Cockburn. Making Dreams Come True 

Well, we have come to the close of our first season. Many thanks to our listeners who have spread the word and helped our listenership grow. As a reward, we brought back our buddy Steph Jones for his second interview with us. Matt also arranged for one of Steph’s biggest fans, and the biggest fan of the show, Sno, to not only talk to Steph, but ask him questions. Plus, you will hear an exclusive sneak peek  listen to Steph’s new song “Delicious”.

Also on the show, a heartfelt musical tribute to a late comedy legend, Matt and Johnson unleash plans to interview Robert Duvall by the end of the year, and Steph and Matt agree to do a duet just in time for Christmas.

We’ll put the entire, unedited interview up in the left-hand margin in a few days. That podcast is not on the feed, so only visitors to this site can hear it. Just another way we reward our fans.  

Pay attention when Johnson tells us about the new organization she is working with to end human trafficking and sex slavery. If you think all slavery ended with the Civil War, think again.

So sit back, relax and listen. Don’t forget to comment!

** The FULL interview is up. It’s almost at the bottom in the left-hand margin.

 Mc006- Happy Birfday Amer'ca [157:20m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Well, it’s that time of year. The time of year when we celebrate our Nation’s breaking the shackles of living as colonies of an unfair monarchy 3000 miles away. And from that day in 1776, when the Declaration of Independence (from England, not Germany as many seem to think) was signed, it has been a long, hard, uphill battle to become the greatest Nation the world has yet seen. And then the 1960s happened. Go to hell baby boomers for giving us the shit end of the stick by bequeathing to us a ruied country.

But I digress. In this episode, the gang and I discuss patriotic things like why the Civil War was important and how the average person is clueless; or the 17 whores in Mass. that all planned to get knocked up– one by a homeless 24 year-old– and raise their bastard children together; or how about people screwing up the Star Spangled Banner? We have clips of them. And do you know what a blumpkin is? Timmy will tell ya!

There are many more topics we discuss. July’s Top 5 is included in the show. The topic is the top 5 greatest things about being an American.

So, listen during your 4th of July festivities, won’t you?

Don’t forget to comment below, or send an email to MattCockburnShow@gmail.com and Matt will read it on the next show.

(Make sure the kids and faint of heart aren’t near.)

On the next episode, our guests will be the Julie Schreiber Band and Steph Jones. Email us any questions you may have for either one.

Oy vey! do these bastards rip me a new one. Lucky for you, you have to listen to an hour of our regular format before the Gang tries hard to knock your hero (Me) down a few pegs.

Listen as Johnson meets her number one fan; we introduce Timmy the Tard our new associate producer; Paul sings his song “The Twelve Days of Mattmas”, I make a big announcement and much, much more including Matt posing the question, “Why do people poop on the floor in public restrooms?”

 Don’t forget that with each new episode comes a new installment of our “TOP 5…” located under the category “TOP 5″ in the left margin. This month’s is pretty funny.

 

 The Matt Cockburn Faux-Celebrity Birthday Roast of Johnson [96:45m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

 HOORAY!!! You can now download our show on iTunes so you an carry our greatness with you wherever you may roam. As it should be…

Here is the first of many faux-celebrity birthday roasts. This one is Johnson’s. Her birthday is in May.

Oh and we’re slightly drunk.

* I have started on new page (in the left-hand margin) where I will put all of our Top 5 from now on. Especially when we use clips to illustrate them. These are special bonus tracks for those of you who actually visit this site as opposed to download them through iTunes. In other words, they’re not available on iTunes like the episodes will be.

This is a tad longer than most. We start the show by telling my tale of pissing off American Idol Jordin Sparks, but meeting Steph Jones. Then we critique my interview with Steph.

We partake in some listener emails including a happy 28th birthday to our #1 Fan in Chicago, Stacy (March 29).

And you will enjoy our discussion on guilty pleasure songs… ya know, the songs you hear on the radio while driving, roll up your window and crank and sing along to… until you get to a traffic light, that is.

We also share our top 5 greatest voices of all time. Of course, this leads to controversy and a near engagement in fisticuffs between Johnson and Paul.

*You can be a part of our next show. Send us an email roasting Johnson. That’s right, our next show is the first of many Matt Cockburn faux- Celebrity Birthday Roasts. If you want to have your email read, or read it either live, or on the phone, send it to mattcockburnshow@gmail.com . And if you don’t know what a roast is, watch this and explore further.

Everyone’s Top 5… somewhat in order….

Well, here it is. My interview with Steph Jones aided by Paul the Engineer. Schaffner and Johnson had prior commitments, so we sat down and chatted with the rising star, Steph Jones. If you haven’t checked him out by now, as per my advice, then you are slow on the take. Don’t worry, though. We play two of his songs so you can get a feel for him.

We had a great time talking with Steph and hope he comes back on from time to time.

Buy his album when it comes out. Keep tabs on it here.

Here is the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Cockburn and Johnson and their exclusive, no-holds-barred interview with Julie and Eric of the Julie Schreiber Band. They were great fun and we look forward to the next time they come on. Don’t ya think they could use a keyboard player?

We did the JSB interview today and it went very well. Apparently, from what our producer Paul tells me, we pulled some kind of a coup by having live music on our show and, to a lesser extent, having guests in the studio. So, that’s cool. Anyway, the interview should be up early this week. We will post it as its own “Special”.

We’d like to enthusiastically thank Julie and Eric for coming by and having a good time with Cockburn and Johnson. We hope to have them on many more times!
