WDEK notes the seriousness of these times and our hearts are with all the first responders and health care workers working on the frontlines during this pandemic. You are our heroes. We have friends that are sick with Covid-19 and we are thinking of you and send love your way. We hope that our show provides a little bit of lightness, fun, connection and somewhat of an escape for you in this time of crisis.
For the first time ever, We Don't Even Know w Christian Felix Justin Hall and Shonali Bhowmik did a Self Isolation FB Live Stream show. Thanks to everyone who was with us and special thanks to our brilliant guests - Andrea Rosen Brian Bahe and Chris Maxwell! Christian, Justin and Shonali come to you from each of their self isolation abodes in NYC. They discuss their coping methods and their own do's and don'ts during a pandemic. Also Christian is giving away a fondue set.
Our first guest is actress, comedian and Shonali's Variety Shac sister Andrea Rosen! Andrea did not wash her hair or shave her armpits. We discuss why self isolation with young children in LA is much better than self isolation in NYC. Other topics include making a horror film with her husband John Gemberling and her kids. Hopefully we'll get to see it on Vimeo along with her new film The Rain Poncho.
Our second guest is comedian Brian Bahe who is self isolating in Ridgewood, NYC. He has newly dyed hair and comes from Arizona. Have you ever been a part of a dad comedy scene? Well Brian came to NYC to avoid doing just that. Brian has a unique voice in comedy in that he is Native American and gay. We talk family, fetishes and coming out. Look for Brian's IG show "R U OK?" It's so great!
Our final guest is singer, songwriter and guitar god Chris Maxwell who is isolating with 3 women (his wonderful wife Kelly and two former WDEK musical guests Ambrosia Parsley & Holly Miranda)and 2 kids in Woodstock, NY. That's what you can do in the country. Chris has just released a beautiful full length release called New Store No.2. He is a longtime friend of Shonali's and she can't stop talking about that. He is a sharp dressed man and is "good with the ladies." He performs two songs in his studio live with the help of his friends Ambrosia and Holly, 1) Most of What I Learned I Learned from Women and 2) Away We Go.
