The Doctor Is Out

This week in the Labyrinth, Tim bids farewell to a true Gen X radio hero — the legendary Doctor Demento. We take a fun, nostalgic dive into the history of the Dr. Demento Show, its influence on weird comedy, novelty songs, and how it helped shape our taste in the hilariously absurd. From “Disco Duck” to Weird Al, we dig into our favorite novelty records and talk about why that kind of musical madness has all but vanished today.

Plus, Jeff and Tim recount a recent run-in with a table full of loudmouths at a comedy show and lay down the law on comedy club etiquette. When is it okay to talk at a show? (Spoiler: Never.)
