the now Defunct Lana Del Pod

This is it… the FINAL* #LanaDelPod.  Joe and Sam explain what’s going on with the Lana Del Pod and leave you with a never before heard bonus clip.  Update your itunes subscriptions by searching for the new “Lana Del Pod” or go to to http://LanaDelPod.podbean.com for the future. *Not Really Though

What a familiar tune, what a familiar chorus… the Lana Del Pod RETURNS…. Again!  This time with an episode that was recorded in the same month it’s released though!  And… NO MORE JOE.  He’s dead still… to Sam that is.  So we have Chicago comic Dave Metz filling in as his permanent replacement.  We listen to the NEW Lana Del Rey FINALLY and some Taylor Swift maybe even some Adele.  Check it out!

How many times can we rise from the dead!??!?  A few it seems…. this is a new episode of the #LanaDelPod with a Bob Seger focus… recorded back in June.  We have chicago comics and friends of the pod Bobby Condon and Aaron Sutherland stopping by to say hello and shout about Bob Seger.  There may be a cameo phone call from old friend Professor John Garity.  There may be THREE intros sort of… and there definitely will be lots of shouting about Lana Del Rey, Bob Seger, Paul Simon and lots of politically incorrect ironic wink wink we’re not really bad guys type comments. 

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa… a NEW episode of the #LanaDelPod?!?  Well, sorta… this is a recording of our LIVE show we had at Bar Celona April 14th.  Join Joe McMahon and Samuel Priest as they huff and yell with the help of our special guests The Ashley’s (Megan Stalter & Deanna Ortiz), Dave Metz & David Rader, Bobby Condon, Steven King, Natalie Jose, Thomas Brady, and of course, Professor John Garity.  It’s the Lana Del Pod… Live from Bar Celona!!!

The #LanaDelPod takes a backseat this week, as we sub in episode 72 of Joe’s former college professor’s podcast.  ”Talkin Turkey” is a podcast about turkeys and other flightless birds located primarily in the South Eastern United States.  It’s host is a former college professor, Jon Garity.  This week’s special returning guest, Chicago Comic Joe McMahon. #TalkingTurkey #TalkinTurkey 

Oh my god, we are back!  And we are rusty!  We talk about why we’ve sort of been away and discuss other podcasts, Lana’s new music, Cameron Crowe’s upcoming “Aloha” and also reassess everything.  Give it a listen if you’re already a fan of the pod… if you’re not a fan yet, give a different episode a listen!  

The boyz are a little punch drunk and high energy as David Rader joins us on the podcast.  David is a chicago comic who thinks Joe and Sam have a PR problem and he will not shut up about it.  We cover some new/old Lana news as well as listen to a song Lana guested on, we inconsistently bleep ourselves and show off some D-neck, all on this week’s #LanaDelPod.

In what may be a controversial episode of the #LanaDelPod, Joe and Sam break down their top 10 most fuckable female comics in Chicago we want to fuck with honorable mentions.  In case you were worried this is some gross list from 2 dudes sitting around ranking women, we let you know all the male Chicago comics that chimed in with their opinions as well. So listen in and be sure to #SoundOff on your opinions agreeing or disagreeing on our facebook page, our twitter, or on email at LanaDelPod@aol.com 

And we’re back!  With big news!  Maybe… inevitable news?!  We talk about that news and the concerns Sam and Joe both have, we listen to TWO Lana Del Tunes and review them, and then Joe travels back to college times and shares some stories about genitals.  Check it out!  #LanaDelPod

Joe and Sam are a little sick this week, but a pod was overdue so we… came through.  Sorta.  We give an update on Sam’s #SecretCat situation, Joe talks about killing himself, and we talk a lot about fucking.  A lot of fuck talk.  And also, the Lana Del Pod’s “Best of 2014? picks!!! 

We’re back with a special roundtable episode featuring “special guest” Dale McPeek and special guest Natalie Jose.  Sam’s a little testy, Joe’s a little out of control, we try to stay on topics and establish a natural flow.  Give it a listen to see if we accomplished that simple feat as well as much much more.  Also, we give “Born to Die” a listen and give it the ‘ol #LanaDelReyRating System.  

On a special crossover episode of the #LanaDelPod, the guys take a break (well Sam anyway) and we listen into an episode of “Talkin’ Turkey” that Joe was recently a guest on while visiting the state of Florida.  Talkin’ Turkey (and Quail and other old world Grouse) is a podcast hosted by Professor John Garity.  Professor Garity is Joe’s old college professor.  They have a lot to catch up on as well as lots of turkey to talk about.  Give it a listen.

Sam and Joe are back from a winter break!!  We check in with how Joe’s trip to Florida was, Sam updates about #SecretCat, and startling revelations are revealed in this… new episode of the LanaDelPod!!!

Joe and Sam are both reeling lately from circumstances both beyond and within their very control.  We check in with both of them and listen to TWO Lana Del Rey tunes, one semi christmas themed and one with a christmas release date.  We talk about Sam’s twitter stalker and Joe’s plans for 2015.  Give it a listen!  #LanaDelPod

A special episode this week, as we’re joined by Joe’s old Humanities professor, John Garity.  We talk to Professor Garity about all things Lana Del Rey, some Florida specific birds, and he tells us one heck of a Tom Petty story.  All that and we also listen and review “Money Power Glory” off Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence. 

We get a little inside baseball this week up top, or inside comedy if you will, as Samuel talks about his trip to Cleveland.  We listen and give our thoughts to TWO, yes TWO Lana Del Rey tunes, Bonus Track off “Ultraviolence” “Is this happiness?” and “Pretty When You Cry.”  All that plus big big revelations about the future of this podcast on this week’s episode of the #LanaDelPod!!!

We’re back to resolve the cliffhanger from the last week’s episode.  What’s Joe doing about comedy?  What’s Joe doing about life?  We get a little serious in this episode and we talk about everything from suicide to depression to softcore sex scenes.  It’s a serious episode the #LanaDelPod and we hope you enjoy it. 

A real hodge podge of an episode this week as Sam and Joe sit down for some startling and sobering revelations about Joe’s future in comedy and the #LanaDelPod.  Then we give you some clips from weeks past that weren’t long enough for their own episodes, Joe and Sam in an uber car after a “show”, walking around the Lincolnwood Mall with Sam Ash McHale, and sitting down in the food court with Bobby Budds and Dale McPeek.  It’s a real hodge podge episode with clips that are all over the place.  The first 20 minutes are important listening if you’re a longtime Lana Del Pod fan, the middle is essential listening if you want to hear what Hot Topics sounds like, and if you’re just here for Bobby Budds and Dale McPeek, join us at the 45 minute mark for a Lincolnwood Mall Food Court Lana Del Roundtable.  #HodgePodgeEp  #LanaDelPod

We’ve got a special episode of #LanaDelPod this week.  We’re at a Red Lobster.  We try to talk about Lana Del Rey, but mostly we talk about Red Lobster.  And other chain restaurants.  We’re joined by possibly the funniest man in Chicago, Dale McPeek, as well as returning guest, the insurmountable Bobby Budds.  If that weren’t enough, we also have Chicago Comedy Kingpin herself, Sam Ash McHale.  #LobsterDelPod

In what essentially is the 2nd part of our #LanaDelRoundtable, we talk a lot about Chicago Comedy and plug lots of other people’s podcasts.  We’re joined by Robert “Bobby Budds” Bud Uhler, Keegan Buckingham, and Greg Gettle.  We say goodbye to Greg and we say goodbye, in a way, to “Summertime Sadness.”  Also, there’s lots of yelling.  We get a little “inside baseball” with this episode talking about Chicago Comedy, so “inside chicago comedy” actually, not baseball. If this is your first episode of #LanaDelPod… check out a different episode, if this is not your first episode, enjoy the episode!!!
