The Tonncast with your host Sophia Venable (Episode Sixty-six)

tonnslingdog — Thu, 16 May 2013 19:19:14 +0000

The Tonncast, your favorite podcast all about the show Friends, is back with your captivatingly gorgeous host, Sophia Venable. This week’s very special guest is Todd Robert Anderson, a real actor who one day hopes to appear on Friends. Although, to be quite frank, we don’t think that’s every going to happen because he is oddly resistant to all that is wonderful about the Friends universe. Does he even know what the word “Friend” means? (Music by not naked guy Adam Blau.)

The Tonncast (Episode Sixty-five)

tonnslingdog — Fri, 10 May 2013 20:49:51 +0000

Very special guest Todd Robert Anderson joins The Tonncast to talk about the latest developments in his acting career, celebrities using Kickstarter, and the shrinking middle class. Sound fun? If it does, you may need a psychiatrist. (Music by Adam Blau, who we’re pretty sure wants to distance himself from this production.)

The Tonncast (Episode Sixty-four)

tonnslingdog — Fri, 03 May 2013 22:04:12 +0000

Very special guest Todd Robert Anderson shows he can do more than just complain about nonsense, but he can truly be thankful when things go smoothly. Is a podcast about things going well entertaining on any level? Probably not. But what do you want for nothing? Jeez. Us. (Adam Blau made the musicalings of the program.)

The Tonncast (Episode Sixty-three)

tonnslingdog — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 20:58:15 +0000

Very special guest Todd Robert Anderson talks about the horror of bombing in a comedy audition, the joys of shooting sci-fi horror, and then ultimately becomes completely unhinged. He starts screaming about stamps and dildos and weed and stuff like that. Quite frankly, it’s concerning. (Music by less than concerned Adam Blau.)

The Tonncast (Episode Sixty-two)

tonnslingdog — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:46:13 +0000

Very special guest Todd Robert Anderson is clearly going insane due to a combination of acting in a short film, making a web series, dealing with a puking kid, and trying to get to auditions in the middle of a work day. And then of course, he’s doing this podcast. Poor baby. (Music by much more Zen-type guy, Adam Blau.)

The Tonncast (Episode Sixty-one)

tonnslingdog — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:43:12 +0000

What does a very special guest like Todd Robert Anderson do when he really has nothing to talk about? He talks anyway. This is the historic sixtieth episode, and it’s a perfect twenty minutes. Well, almost perfect. Fine, it’s just okay. What do you want for nothing? (Music by the actually perfect Adam Blau.)

The Tonncast (Episode Fifty-nine)

tonnslingdog — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 23:03:38 +0000

A lot of people are gung-ho about the universities they attended. Not so much with very special guest Todd Robert Anderson. In this episode, he complains about his alma mater NYU and the recent alumni event he attended at an exclusive Hollywood club where you get to see famous people if you can get through the front door. Also, Todd talks about the strange connection he has to Sarah Silverman. (Music by guy who attended a much, much better school, Adam Blau.)

The Tonncast (Episode Fifty-eight)

tonnslingdog — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 17:18:22 +0000

(Music by Adam Blau, who at the time of this writing may or may not be wearing clothes. We just don’t know.)

In this listicle episode of the Tonncast, very special guest Todd Robert Anderson takes you through the podcasts he is currently listening to and why he is listening to them. For some reason, a lot of them have to do with movies or sex. And then he seems to listen to some educational ones out of a sense of shame. (Music by Adam Blau, a guy who does not have a podcast where he talks about other podcasts.)

The Tonncast (Episode Fifty-six)

tonnslingdog — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:54:15 +0000

This episode of the Tonncast exists purely so very special guest Todd Robert Anderson can say he finally got around to it. (Music by Adam Blau, who is a much more focused and serious artist.)

On this very special episode of the Tonncast, host Susan Tankersley sits down with actor and outspoken critic of the world at large, Todd Robert Anderson. They discuss the importance of the movie Drive, as well as the influence of the television series Magnum, PI.

The Tonncast (Episode Fifty-four)

tonnslingdog — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:04:01 +0000

On this week’s episode, very special guest Todd Robert Anderson rants about the MPAA ratings system, parenting, Django Unchained, and tells the heartwarming story of his latest family trip to Disneyland.

He shares a handful of his favorite songs from Mr. Sexton, and admits to having wept openly at one of the man’s concerts. What a dork, right? (Music not by Martin Sexton is by this guy named Adam Blau, who is as sexy as they come.)

The Tonncast (Episode Fifty-two)

tonnslingdog — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 21:12:09 +0000

It’s the week of very special guest Todd Robert Anderson’s birthday, and he celebrates by sharing stories about and music from his favorite Los Angeles band, The Buddaheads. It’s rowdy roadhouse blues as fashioned by frontman Alan Mirikitani aka BB Chung King, and you can’t ask for more kick-ass tunes. Todd talks about how he discovered the band, and tells the story of when they played his surprise fortieth birthday party. (Music not by Alan is by Adam Blau, who is not a roadhouse bluesman but he could be if he wanted to, goddammit.)

The Tonncast (Episode Fifty-one)

tonnslingdog — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:10:58 +0000

This is a holiday special. It is holiday times. It is special. (Music by very special composer Adam Blau.)

The Tonncast (Episode Fifty)

tonnslingdog — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 16:44:41 +0000

In this very special episode of the very special Tonncast, the very special guest Todd Robert Anderson discusses the very special music of the very special Tonncast theme composer. His name is Adam Blau. Todd talks about their friendship, creative collaborations and the ups and downs of being a Hollywood film and television composer. Todd gets most of his facts wrong. For example, he says Adam is “not a singer” while it is clearly exemplified on the podcast that Adam has a wonderful voice. What we think Todd meant was that Adam isn’t a “singer-songwriter” by profession like the other musicians Todd has discussed, meaning he doesn’t make his living performing live with pop and folk songs. He makes music for film and television primarily. Still, he can write a song and sing it, so technically he is a singer-songwriter. In any event, Todd’s heart was in the right place. He doesn’t tend to think before he opens his fat mouth. (Producer’s note: there are a couple of glitches in the recording, due to a computer acting funny. Apologies. Also, if we have to tell you who composed the music for this episode…maybe you are too stupid to listen to this crap.)

The Tonncast with your host Jon Salvia (Episode Forty-nine)

tonnslingdog — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:15:30 +0000

This epic two-hour Tonncast finds a host in Jon Salvia willing to talk to very special guest Todd Robert Anderson about absolutely anything. This includes work-related issues that only the two of them could possibly understand, the state of major motion picture comedy, and the difficulties of internet technology. It’s as if you are a fly on the wall listening to two old buddies talk the day away. Their conversation is so honest, it seems they forgot they were on mic, doing a show, and supposed to be entertaining. Amazing! (Music by man of few words, Adam Blau.)

The Tonncast (Episode Forty-eight)

tonnslingdog — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:51:42 +0000

Very Special Guest Todd Robert Anderson continues his series of Tonncasts in which he gushes about his favorite musicians. This time he talks about Irish musician Susan McKeown (http://www.susanmckeown.com/) and his long history of listening to her blend of original compositions and passionate versions of traditional Irish tunes. Her music is certainly wonderful, and luckily Todd plays several of her amazing recordings in between his ramblings, including a couple of tracks from a cassette tape he acquired during his college years in the early nineties. The music is amazing, and the rambling between songs perfectly adequate! (Theme music by Adam Blau who also enjoys an Irish stout from time to time.)

The Tonncast (Episode Forty-seven)

tonnslingdog — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 20:12:15 +0000

In this continuing series on very special guest Todd Robert Anderson’s favorite musicians, Anderson discusses the music of Matt King. Matt King is an “alternative country” singer-songerwriter, his music driven by hard guitar licks and potent lyrics. Basically, Anderson gushes on and on about his love for this guy’s recordings, but luckily we got King’s permission to break up these ramblings with some amazing songs. Listen to the podcast, and if you haven’t discovered King for yourself yet, it’s time. You can download his music on iTunes or go to his website, http://www.mattking.com/, to find out when and where he’s playing next. Do it. Now. (All music not by Matt King on this podcast was composed by Adam Blau, who is a wonderful man.)

tonnslingdog — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 00:04:58 +0000

Very Special Guest Todd Robert Anderson discusses the music of old friend Darren Buck, and plays some choice selections from his long career as a singer.

(Music by another amazing musical friend, Adam Blau.)

Josh Wingate, star of the upcoming “Inverse” and who played War Machine in “Fuzz Track City,” hosts his Tonncast and welcomes very special guest Todd Robert Anderson.

Rather unbelievably, very special guest Todd Robert Anderson responds to the Tonncast’s first ever response (that wasn’t someone complaining he mispelled her name.) And this gets political. But kind of meandering. And dumb. Todd is pretty dumb. (Music by righty lefty uppery cutty Adam Blau. And yes, Adam, I am really high right now.)

The Tonncast (Episode Forty-two)

tonnslingdog — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 21:11:15 +0000

Everyone’s favorite morning show The Tonncast with Kris Chris welcomes not famous very special guest Todd Robert Anderson as an act of desperation.

tonnslingdog — Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:31:30 +0000

Flavius Maximilian and his podcast The Tonncast have long been considered a source of great controversy. Despite having been under investigation by the forensic wing of the Catholic Church for the better part of a decade, all evidence that Flavius is up to no good has been entirely circumstantial. So, since nobody has found a way to shut down production, Flavius sits down with an unsuspecting very special guest Todd Robert Anderson, who gets a brutal surprise. A brutal surprise, indeed.

Tonncast host Tobin Shenanigan challenges special guest Todd Robert Anderson to answer the same questions people applying for U.S. citizenship HAVE to know the answers to or…they can’t come. Luckily Mr. Anderson is a natural born citizen, because he can’t remember the names of the two current California senators, and he easily confuses the 1900’s for the 19th Century. Idiot.

Why is it that everything she does is inappropriate for her parents to listen to? (Producer’s note: we’re pretty sure when Mr. Anderson says, “Sense is the strongest smell,” he meant, “Smell is the strongest sense.” Although it could have been, “Scents is the strongest smell.” But that seems unlikely. Anyway. Music by the silky smooth Adam Blau.)
