Enjoy Stuff: Stay Demented!

Wind up your radio for a look back at the king of wacky radio, Dr. Demento! Enjoy Stuff looks back at the zaniness of the parodies and comedy bits he played and what made us laugh so hard. From Fish Heads to Dead Puppies, it's time to get Demented!   Parodies and comedy are great, but has there ever been one place that specializes in only those classics? Look no further than Dr. Demento! He’s the bearded, top hat-wearing radio DJ that made Weird Al famous and Shaving Cream naughty. This week we look back on all the laughs.    News We have a premiere dated for Only Murders in the Building Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser to close this fall. We share our thoughts LEGO will release a sweet Pac-Man build that moves and all kinds of stuff! Alamo Drafthouse has offered a collectible Indiana Jones glass for the release of Dial of Destiny   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we’re Enjoying Shua is enjoying some Mayhem! But he’s trying to relax because he’s just watching The Muppets Mayhem on Disney+. It’s a pretty good interpretation of our favorite rock band, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. All while trying to record their first album. Jay is running a local Memorial Day 5k, probably as you read this! Isn’t it good when we can stay fit and active? Enjoy Music!  Dr. Demento was filling the radio airwaves with funny songs for years. His real name is Barrett Hanson, but we all know him as Dr. Demento. During the 70s and 80s he had a syndicated radio show where he played many song parodies, stand-up, comedy, routines, and recorded skits. But that really doesn’t even come close to describing all of the crazy kinds of humor he had on his demented show. This week, Jay and Shua revisit some of their favorites and talk about what made it so funny.   Be sure to check out our YouTube playlist for some great Dr. Demento memories https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw8odn9KH-emDSo2LGA791vDNBRC_zvqY      Have you ever listened to Dr. Demento?
