Wrap: David Fickas and Brice Beckham from The Iceman Chronicles

We talked Icemen, entertainers named Jack and 1980s sitcoms with our new friends David Fickas and Brice Beckham of the web series The Iceman Chronicles and wholesome family short film Buttf#$%er.

Watch this episode or the Iceman will get you. Oooh, kids, that’s scary.  www.thestream.tv

We’ve been doing this live internet TV show thing for a while, so we’re happy when we can bring on guests who are similarly web TV activated. David Fickas and Brice Beckham are longtime collaborators whose web series The Iceman Chronicles is building up a good amount of buzz on the internets.

Jack shows us how real guitarists play - right handed.

Speaking of a good buzz, our mainstay musical director John Fulton was absent this show – apparently his little “business trip” to Tijuana didn’t go quite as smoothly as planned. What’s the Spanish phrase for “Please allow me to visit the ATM to retrieve my bail money”, by the way? Regardless, he was replaced by his bandmate from the Fresh,  Jack Voorhies. Jack got right into the spirit of things by writing and singing a lovely, heartbreaking ditty that perfectly encapsulated many moments on our show, “The Awkward Song”. Were those tears in Jessie’s eyes as she sang harmony on this tune?

Our esteemed producer LV actually laughs at one of Stu's jokes. We captured this rare and special moment on film.

Despite Jack’s newness and decency in helping us do the show, Stu decided to subject him to a trial by fire. In Live! From the Future terms, this means a round of “You Supply the Set-Up”, in which chat roomers and friends sent in joke set-ups for Jack and Stu to complete. We’re not exactly sure who won this game; we were too busy doubled over laughing at Stu’s attempts to finish the gags. Joke set ups courtesy of: Tom K Video, Tom Clark, Chris Strait, Gary Cannon, and Senor Shutter!

Stu pitches a sequel to Buttf%$#er. Stu, it's not meant to be a DOCUMENTARY.

Thankfully, we had David and Brice to rescue us. Our guests took us through their long history together, first as schoolmates at USC and later as co-creators of the VH1 series I Hate My 30s. The pair, who split writing, producing, directing and acting tasks, are admirably active in the web sphere. They’ve created the very funny short video Buttfucker in addition to the currently running The Iceman Chronicles, in which David plays a goofy pathologist/veterinarian trying to figure out a puzzling murder.

David shows everyone his private technique - clearly, Brice is a bit uncomfortable with this.

David plays a smart figuring out type of person on his series, so we somehow thought it’d be appropriate if we gave he and Brice a quiz. This one, in honor of our brave musical fill-in, was entitled “You Don’t Know Jack”, and pitted our guest pair against the esteemed Mr. Voorhies.

Our guests lose their cool and threaten Stu's life - 3rd time this week, Stu.

The three guys compete in an intense staring contest. Brice won; he's still gazing at our wall several days later.

The two teams had to compete to identify a particular Jack from a set of clues; the first team/individual to answer won the round. Muddying these waters greatly was Stu, who was a little vague about the rules for calling out the answers. Hand raised? Name shouted? Answer barked? We never really figured it out (”that’s awkwaaaaard…”). Nevertheless, David and Brice took the victory, nailing the final query (”Cracker Jack”) in microseconds. Or at least we think they won; the well-bribed judges are still counting the tally cards and will have an answer “within a few years, we promise”.

Jack Voorhies, elated as usual. Comedy = tortured souls.

While Jack seethed and thought of vengeful lyrics for an “I Hate Stu” song or double album, we wrapped the show with one of our old standbys, “Strictly Platonic”.  We had several winners in this edition, including a man who was willing to pay “100 Roses” for a nude lap dance (nothing erotic about that, no sir), and a person seeking his “dolphin princess” who naturally must possess “sleek rubbery skin and sonar”. Gosh, that sounds exactly like Jessie! Wow, where would the world of online dating be without us, eh?

Jessie sends one final text before transforming herself into a sea mammal in order to attract more suitable mates.

"What, you taped the WHOLE THING? That wasn't in the release form!"

Watch this episode, it’s funnier than Lost. We even have a Smog Monster! Okay, maybe not. www.thestream.tv

You voted us “BEST LIVE SHOW of 2009!”. In return, we’ll name our first four children after you…  as long as you’re named “Vladislav”.

We got lots of those link thingamajigs.  Watch all our shows, Feedburner, Twitter, iTunes, Zune, Facebook, YouTube, IMDB, LiveFromTheFuture.com,

Wrap: Musetta Vander and the Hillenbrand brothers from Transylmania!

We give thanks for vampires, 800 year old Romanian castles and our guests, actress Musetta Vander and directors Scott and David Hillenbrand of the upcoming horror comedy feature, Transylmania.

See this episode – in color! – at www.theStream.tv

As anyone in Los Angeles will tell you, Halloween in this city stretches pretty far past October 31. For us, it’s lasted well into Thanksgiving, as we hosted a troika of guests from the soon-to-be-released vampire spoof, Transylmania - in theaters December 4th, 2009.

We did kowtow a little to the current holiday. We effected this in true, grand LIVE! From the Future… style with Stu venting about the worst Thanksgiving side dishes ever. His candidates? Yams with those ugly little wet marshmallows.

Andrea Ball (andreaball.com) gets ready to take some live Instant Messages in her "Beat It" edition jacket. Smooth, criminal baby!

Our IM Girl for the evening, the lovely and vivacious Andrea Ball (substituting for Jessie Schneiderman), volunteered green beans as her least favorite side dish, and LFTF’s musical director, John Fulton, piped up that he hated cranberry sauce. Communist! At least that’s what I think he said; honestly, nobody pays him any attention when he’s not playing music.

John Fulton, the new spokesman for "Midnight Von Douche"

Jared "I brought the tripods and legal releases" Greenhouse shows us his one-handed technique.

Subsequent to this discussion, we welcomed Musetta Vander, one of the stars of Transylmania, who plays vampire hunter Teodora van Sloan (which, coincidentally, is also the name of John Fulton’s transvestite lounge singer alter ego).

Actress Musetta Vander, aka "Teodora Van Sloan" from the new comedy feature "Transylmania" talks about Zip Lining from a castle, training with knives and the countless ways she could punish Stu.

Cheerful Musetta talked about her experiences on the (freezing cold Romanian) set of Transylmania, which included delivering her lines in an Eastern European accent (hot!), taking sword fighting lessons for a month (er, not that kind of sword fighting), and training in martial arts.

Musetta Vander sharpens her fingers as she prepares to stab Stu in the neck - vampire-style.

Then it was time for Musetta to play: “Ikea or Romanian Town?” Thanks to our little quiz, Musetta is now well acquainted with the best cheap pillowcases the Swedes have to offer, and the countless Romanian towns that no one can pronounce. Who says you don’t learn anything on our show?

John tries to convince Andrea that some women actually like his sweater.

Next up were Musetta’s former bosses, Scott and David Hillenbrand, the directors of Transylmania. Scott and David have tag-teamed for over half a dozen movies, including National Lampoon Presents: Dorm Daze, and their collaboration reaches back far in the past – they’ve been making films together since childhood.

Scott and David Hillenbrand listen unenthusiastically to Stu's movie pitches, inlcuding: "Octopus Outfielder: the life and times of Duke McNutts", "Tardball", the unofficial sequel to Dodgeball and "Earnest goes to Hometown Buffet", the proposed 15th installment of the beloved "Earnest goes to..." series.

We tested just how strong those bonds really are by putting the brothers through our notorious “59 Second Gauntlet” (formerly the “60 Second Gauntlet”, now shaved for budgetary reasons). Scott fired off a few quick and theoretically correct answers, but David struggled to come up with a meaningful comeback or two – one stumper was, “Biggest jerk in high school?” Might I propose example “A” below?

John Fulton was a bouncer at LL Bean.

Wow, all that questioning and zip lining and Ikea catalog itemizing really made us hungry. We’re gonna feast for a few days, then we’ll see you at the usual time next Tuesday for a fresh new show. Until then, happy Thanksgiving from all of us LFTFers. Pass the yams and marshmallows, will ya?

WRAP: Danielle Bisutti from True Jackson, VP

Stu tries to host a clean show (PG-13 at best) with Danielle Bisutti of Nickelodeon’s True Jackson, VP.

Maybe it is easy being green. See this episode at www.theStream.tv

It’s not often that Live! From the Future… hosts a guest who appears in a kid-friendly TV show. Danielle Bisutti, one of the stars of Nickelodeon’s teen fashion sitcom True Jackson, VP, stopped by for a little good clean (mostly clean) fun.

Danielle explains exactly how she’s gonna grab this show.

Stu and John made subtle yet oily suggestive comments about Jessie’s wet hair, acquired from a quick shower after a late encounter at Bar Method.

Jessie shows her patented hair tousling technique. Chat roomers passed out in short order.

Our Host somehow got over the heavy breathing long enough to interview the lovely, kelly green-clad Danielle. We talked about her show, now striding along in its second season – thank you very much – and the production thereof.

Stu and Danielle Bisutti having good clean fun sharing filthy stories. I’M KIDDING! – (it wasn’t fun).

Danielle was born into the business; this self professed “theater geek” had very early memories of live TV, sitting in the studio audience for a taping of Mork and Mindy (Nanu Nanu!) She also loves the Godfather, which was good because, from now on, we bring everyone on by kissing Stu’s ring. See examples A and B.

Danielle “Corleone’s” her way on to the show. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Danielle’s been acting professionally for a while, appearing on Two and a Half Men, Dharma and Greg and Without a Trace. On True Jackson, VP, she plays Amanda, a viperish corporate type forever trying to foil the heroine of the title. Our chatties were curious about Danielle’s experience in this and other shows, and saved us from descending further into R-rated murk with good questions about her career. One of the most pertinent ones was, “Will Amanda ever bust out in song?”

Song lovers rejoice – Danielle had some serious pipes.

Danielle is a fine singer. She accompanied John on a new song: “At Least You’re Home By 8:30″ and ”Check It.”

Danielle’s also pretty good at answering quizzes. On the infamous Ikea or Social Networking Site?, our guest nailed most of the 10 questions to take home the magnificent prize (i.e. gratitude for enduring the bit).

Danielle ponders: “Is ‘Nujij’ an Ikea Product or a Social Networking Site?”

Then Danielle also nearly made it through all queries in our one-minute, think-fast Gauntlet, managing to keep her porn star name a secret (inappropriate!) but revealing that she’d rather date Sinatra than Elvis (even if he was the young, skinny Elvis? Really, Danielle?)

John shows his true feeling about LV. Scandal!

Johnny Fulron broadcasts only #1 hits.

Stu and Danielle brought the interview to a close by giving away gifts of intrinsic emotional value such as a book by Stu’s friend and a DVD. On the subject of intrinsic emotional value, Stu also screened a sneak preview of his relentlessly flogged web series,  Hurtling Through Space At An Alarming Rate.

Check out a new episode every Monday on Babelgum.com/htsaaar

Clearly, one of these kids knows which camera is on.

After the sneak, Danielle joined John for a special duet of The Fresh’s classic, “Two Buck Chuck”. But again, this was meant to be clean entertainment, so the duo modified the lyrics to sing about the benefits of cheap wine at family Thanksgivings. With that, we managed to once again escape the sharp eye of the Motion Picture Association of America and score only a mild R rating (or PG-13 if you’re optimistic) for this episode.

Will we succeed in doing so next week? Doubtful – our guests include several vampires. Tune in next week for more… we probably won’t be very PG-13 in that one.

WRAP: Mitch Fatel and Gary Cannon!

Tuesday, November 10 2009 – we were drenched in comedy and biological fluids with standups Mitch Fatel and Gary Cannon.

Feast your eyes – and other organs – on this episode at www.theStream.tv

This episode’s recurring theme was comedy comedy COMEDY, as we hosted the dangerous twin-barreled standup tandem of Mitch Fatel and Gary Cannon.

(Had we been drinking, someone would have gotten seriously hurt)

Before our esteemed guests took their chairs, we read a letter from one viewer in Florida, who asked why, oh why, does Stu find it necessary to mock and insult that great state’s capitol city, Tallahassee? Nothing personal, Anonymous Letter Writer, Stu just hates the place with an unreasonable and bitter passion.

John and Jessie warm up their pipes… and their vocal chords.

On a more positive note, the second episode of the Stu-starring web series Hurtling Through Space At An Alarming Rate has debuted, and our Host tried to prove it by showing a clip from the webisode. Which would have been a lot of fun, except the clip got truncated at about the 1.3 second mark.

Check out a new episode every Monday on Babelgum.com/htsaaar) (*Note: Stu wrote the November 16th episode – The Planet of eventually exploding timebombs of calamitous proportions)

Back here in sunny, gulag-free Los Angeles, Mitch arrived with a whole bunch of swag, namely DVDs and CDs of his appearances.

Mitch signing the DVD’s and CD’s for the guy who won: 4 guys named Stuart; uncanny!

He also arrived with a special lodging request – permission to fall asleep on Jessie’s lady business.

Mitch, proving that this “genital-sleeping clause” is actually in Mitch’s contract.

Mitch, demonstrating his sleeping technique on Gary Cannon’s “hand-gina”

Payoff: Mitch, finally making good on his end of the bargain to sleep where babies are made. Jessie, happily obliges. Team player, Jessie!

In addition to helping Mitch satisfy the Jessie request, we also extracted a few juicy road stories from the ever-touring comedians, such as the time Mitch heroically accepted a sloppy seconds BEEJ in a San Jose green room.

Mitch explains exactly how the accommodating young San Jose resident replaced her tongue ring after personally thanking both Gary and Mitch for a good show. Ah, the road.

John Fulton was on fire this night, playing so fast, he literally became a blur.

John Fulton played in the band “Blur” in the 90’s.

Gary, Mitch, Stu and the multi-talented Jared Greenhouse discuss the gay porn they will shoot – “Blazing Saddle Rash”

Producer Lauren “LV” Valdez takes a moment to reflect on life; courtesy of Newsweek and Maxim.

A rare behind the scenes look at the studio – that’s Brian Gramo’s hat in the bottom left, Producer LV, Stu and Jared Greenhouse. Great times!

Upcoming: 3 Years of LIVE! From the future…

September 29? What’s special about it… “Inventor’s Day in Argentina?”, you say? “The day after Yom Kippur?” “The Death anniversary of chef Austin Leslie, the celebrated ‘King of Fried Chicken’?

Yes but no.

September 29 of this very year will witness the 3 year Anniversary of Live! From the Future…

That’s right, Stu and his dangerous yet somehow lovable partners in art thievery John Fulton and Jessie Schneiderman have been plugging away for one quarter of a dozen years now.

It’s a happy happy anniversary show, with musicalicious guests The Fresh and Rapsmith And The State of Law.

This is, of course, all just an excuse to drink a lot of beer and get noisy with a pair of special musical guests. Taking the stage for our anniversary show will be The Fresh, fronted by the man some* call “Elvis, Sinatra and Pavarotti all wrapped up in one, although not with the terrible weight problems that constantly plagued Pavarotti or Elvis in his final years of drug-fuelled decline”. That’s right, we’re talking Live! From the Future…’s own musical mad scientist, John Fulton.

* John Fulton

Next up will be the very funny hip-hoppish stylings of Rapsmith & The State of Law. According to legend, this two-man group was born of a terrifying yet humorous accident at a secret government research lab (the rumors say Roswell, New Mexico). Like any mutant product of an experiment gone wildly wrong, Rapsmith & The State of Law found themselves in Los Angeles as part of the local music scene. The boys slide into our studio to help celebrate birthday number three with Stu and the gang (hey, that could be a really derivative name for a band!).

In between, Stu will do his very best to keep sober… er, interact with the bands, celebrate the big moments of the past three years, and recycle all the gags we’ve tried and failed since 2006.

PLUS: A very special guest!!!

Join us live tonight at 8:00 for the music, the fun and the festivities, and don’t forget the piñatas and party hats. The birthday cake’s on us.
