If you listen to the show (and why would you?), you may remember way back in episode 100 Andy told a story of his then infant son kicking his feet. He told it like it was some amazing thing and I mocked him because…how hard is it to kick feet? Andy and our guest that […]
Why do we still do Daylight Saving Time? Who is this helping? I want answers?! Why am I losing an hour of sleep for this. And don’t give me any of this “you get an hour of extra sleep in fall” bullcrap! Sleep six months form now does not help me be less sleepy now! […]
Man of Steel is coming to theaters this June…there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it. A lot of people are excited. Some of us are leery. I have ranted previously about my dismay at the ditching of the John Williams score. But unless you were reading my blogs back on MySpace back in 2007, […]
Just a heads up, there will be no new “regular” episode of TANcast this week…BUT we will have two mini episodes. One of the mini-episodes will feature special guest: Geoff! Also, it spawned the concept of “Mark Bane!” After the episode, I was inspired to run with the concept a bit. Enjoy!
Some of you may have noticed I missed a day of blogging. To say that I had a rough 24 hours would be giving the term “rough” quite a workout. I won’t go into details because the main story is not my own, but it involved health scares, hospital visits, and and a whole lot […]

If you listen to the new episode of TANcast, you’ll notice a new TANlaugh jingle. For those of you who don’t watch television and/or don’t live near a Jack in The Box restaurant, you might not recognize the tune. It’s the music form a commercial for a new Jack in the Box sandwich called the […]
The Back to The Future movies are a lot of things, but good predictors of the future is not one of them. It’s almost 2015 and we’ve got no flying cars, no Mr. Fusion, no Jaws 19, and worst of all, this…
Quite a few folks have asked me when I will be doing shows outside the California Bay Area. The answer is still, “I have no idea.” BUT I am doing a show that’s being live streamed on the web! Tonight at 8pm (Disneyland time) you can log on right here at: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/phil-johnson-and-roadside-attraction This show is […]
I’m gonna try this again! It’s March Blog Madness 2: Ghost Protocol! A few times in the past, I’ve blogged every day for a whole month. The big difference was that I wasn’t a dad and I didn’t have a whole separate job to do besides stand-up comedy. So as I try to blog everyday […]
