Steve Cooper sits down with musical comedian Pat Godwin (Bob & Tom Show) for a wild ride through comedy, radio, and music.

Pat shares the infamous story of opening for Don McLean and getting kicked out of the green room — only to win the crowd (and his career) back that same night. He talks about his years with the WMMR Morning Zoo, competing with Howard Stern, and how deadlines on the Bob & Tom Show push him to write 4 songs before sunrise.

They dive into unforgettable music moments — playing with Warren Zevon, jamming with Pete Townshend, sitting in with Graham Parker, bombing at CBGB, and performing at the historic Surf Ballroom where Buddy Holly played his last show.

Pat also opens up about life on the road, what he’s proudest of today, and how fatherhood and radio deadlines have made this the most creative period of his career.

Philly comedy legend Tommy Moore sits with Steve Cooper for a rapid-fire tour of 50+ years on stage—mobbed-up South Philly rooms, the Comedy Factory Outlet’s DIY rise, Catskills/Poconos residencies, and a night when Robin Williams wandered in and did two hours for free.

Tommy shares wisdom from Shecky Greene, Joan Rivers, Alan King, and Joey Bishop; why the ’80s comedy boom exploded (and imploded); teaching stand-up at Temple; and bringing laughter to hospital patients as a medical clown. Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt—a masterclass in stand-up history.
