Onward


Weezy & The Swish

The Swish half of Weezy & The Swish has moved to San Francisco to work for C-Net which is a wonderful company and we are thrilled for her. How will this impact the podcast? This is yet to be determined so last week the challenge was to find a guest co-host as smart and pretty as Laura. I chose Larry Morgan.

Larry, while taller and hairier than Laura, proved to be a wonderful co-host and excitement was abundant in the studio as we welcomed Famous and Legendary Songwriter, Diane Warren who arrived with Noteworthy Actress, Katherine Narducci who plays Charmaine Bucco on The Sopranos.

Diane, coming straight off an appearance on Oprah was a little disappointed with the hair and makeup dept. at Weezy & The Swish (a bathroom and a mirror) but she rebounded quickly and free from Oprahlistic expectations which include: refinement, elegance, culture and sophistication, Diane showed us the saucier side of her personality which includes: impudence, cheekiness, crudity and dare I say it, the occasional curse word. It’s these qualities in an artist who composes gorgeously poetic and epic love songs that make her a dichotomously complex and fascinating individual who reveals herself more fully on Weezy & The Swish than she ever could on Oprah.
Me, Diane

Oh, what am I saying? It’s sacrilegious. There comes a time when we all must face that we are powerless against against alcohol (and/or podcasting) and give ourselves over to the glory of Oprah.

That being acknowledged, please enjoy this episode of Weezy & The Swish.

Santa Barbara Comedy Nights

The Rocks Nightclub Comedy Nights Experience has moved to Fridays making it far easier for Santa Barbarians to come out and enjoy comedy and much harder for me to drive up there on a Friday night (because of the traffic) Many Los Angelinians, of a weekend, escape the din and frenzy of the big city and head for the idyllic seaside serenity of Santa Barbara. That = Traffic which is why Oprah takes her own plane. Are we back on Oprah? I’m hoping to mention Oprah in this blog as often as Oprah appears on the cover of O Magazine.

If you do come to Santa Barbara to enjoy sand, sea, splendor and standup, you may experience a little something like this…

Have a beautiful week. Be well and safe!

Last Tuesday morning, I tell someone that my sister rarely goes away when she is on vacation. Tuesday afternoon, she calls to tell me she had finished packing, had put away her telescope, and her train would leave at 5pm.

Thursday, I send a question to Rosie O'Donnell because I don't understand her blog entry. My question was the 1st she answered on her videoblog on the day she announced she was leaving the view.

Saturday, I turned on talkshoe to hear how things were going w/o Swish and expecting you to talk about Diane's appearance on Oprah, but I put it on mute.
In the W&TS chatroom Matt wrote that you were late so I did stuff on my computer. Then (as I was leaving the room) I see Siggy write something like "5 min. to Diane Warren".

It was a whole week of not quite knowing what was going on around me.

Wow, that is testament to how much we yearn to know and how little we actually know.

I do not currently know where Laura is or how she will be able to participate in the podcast as we move forward.

I didn't know that Diane Warren was coming over until she got here.

Maybe we need to just enthusiastically seek knowledge while accepting how little we really know.

So will you still call the show, "Weezy and The Swish?" Or will it change to something like, "Weezy and The Swish: Now with less Swish and more Larry!"?

Gee, I don't think so. Larry doesn't return my calls.
