GUACAGG #43: FUNNY FRIDAY (NEW FRIEND: CHARLIE MURPHY)

It's FUNNY FRIDAY and the last day of BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2014, so despite our difficulties booking groundbreaking African American comics Eddie Murphy and Redd Foxx (Foxx's people never even returned our calls), we did get the amazing CHARLIE MURPHY to talk about meeting Foxx, share his views on gerbils, and help us dance to his brother Eddie's most butt-moving record.

We are now out of our podcast Beta phase, and into Alpha-minus, as we've decided on our host for the podcasts (LibSyn, which a lot of podcasters use; there are lots of good options, but we had kinks using some of the others) and we are on iTunes so you can stream us on your iThings, just look for "Get Up and Chic-A-Go-Go" in the iTunes podcast section! We have a few improvements coming up, but we can't improve on the guests and songs...today it's RADKEY which is rad and key!
