LOTS O' LENNON- MIKE HANFORD as John Lennon on Questions for Lennon,Comedy Bang Bang & Improv4Humans

[@benwatkin3123]

So much Lennon

[@rome8180]

I didn't think it was possible for one individual to know as little about The Beatles as Mike Hanford does. Makes the character even funnier.

[@ShanevsDCsniperr]

wow, i'm learning so much about the history of john lennon and the beatles!

[@ShanevsDCsniperr]

on a real note, i had never checked out questions for lennon, and it always warms my hesrt to hear bob odenkirk being silly with relatively younger improvisers

[@ianobrien3248]

Damn dude. This is really helping me grind out some long hours! I just let it play and started working not thinking about it and next thing I know its 7 hours later and the sun is coming up... Noice.

[@BabyFaceBren]

lol and you still had 5 hours of it to go

[@jackohearts66]

Hanford as the happy-go-lucky, formerly well known European rock guitarist back from the dead is pure comedy gold all the way. PS: Hope he gets that guitar back one of these days🤞

hear hear!

I LOVE that Tawny Newsome knows the history of the Emperor's New Groove. I highly recommend anyone looks up the great article about it in Vulture, one of the greatest things I've ever read, crazy backstory for one of my favorite movies

[@RyanVeeder]

I've met one Tim from Chicago, and this guy-immediately took to him. Loved him. And then I got to know him a little bit, and I said, "This person is, you know… stealing from me."

[@BabyFaceBren]

I find every one of these videos has coincidental words, common to two or more eps. In this one, it's "tubing". I heard it in 3 episodes at least. Weird. It's not a word you hear a lot, or not one I do anyway.

[@Y2Jason99]

Very good

Epic! This is the only way I could find Whistlin’ Pete without Stitcher. I usually listen to that a few times each summer. I’d really love to find the Questions for Lennon with Paul Rust where they do Christmas spoof songs. I think it’s called Christmas Comes Just Once a…JEER!?

[@BabyFaceBren]

I don’t know where all the shows have gone since stitcher died. It would be great to edit more eps of “Questions for Lennon” and “with special guest Lauren lapsus” if they were available.

7:08:15 i forgot that Bonnie was a real name, i thought it was a funny joke version of Benny, so Ben and Bonny

[@ianobrien3248]

Ooooooh Al A. Peterson!!! Okay, will he have to tell the story...

[@ianobrien3248]

Lol, so far right down main street.

[@BabyFaceBren]

How could he not tell it? I could almost hear Scotty Auks giggling in the background!

[@ianobrien3248]

9:20:02 You'd be the expert!

[@BabyFaceBren]

I thought at the time, if this were one of "those' videos, I would've searched. Worst of all, this being basic, was restraining myself when Gino says at one point "I feel like....." and there is such a perfect pause!

God bless you Bren You're doing the Lords work 🙏

Are Carlifer and Al Peterson doing a Carmen Sandiego situation basically? Has he ever talked to Chief because I feel like she would have a lot of questions to get ideas to catch Carmen Sandiego

[@1776Enthusiast]

Twelve hours? 12? 10+2? 6+6? 4+8? I'm sincerely concerned.

[@BabyFaceBren]

Because of the way it kept crashing, it was almost 6+6!

[@1776Enthusiast]

@@BabyFaceBren Taking into account Hanford is your crush - is this video a form of stalking?

[@BabyFaceBren]

@@1776Enthusiast lol, he’s not my crush, that stuff is tongue-in-cheek. But of all the CBB guests he’s the one I wouldn’t say “no” to. Well, there are a few others. Hanford is the hottest (imho). He’s also the one I feel closest to creatively. If I could work with any of them it’d be him I’d choose. He’s my creative crush!

Anyone who thinks “Twist and Shout” is the worst Beatles song either has not heard every Beatles song or is lying.

[@BabyFaceBren]

Wow, funny you say that, I just tweeted Will Hines that it's a great track. I have started listening to Will's Beatles' podcast (after hearing about it on the 'improv4humans' ep in this video) and I'm really unsure after hearing 'Twist and Shout' again today if that whole 'improv4humans' episode was an ironic joke of some kind? If so, it flopped. You're right, there are some really bad Beatles songs (you don't have to look much further than some of the experimental shit on the White Album) and not only that, 'Twist and Shout' is GREAT. I used to do it in a band and the crowd always went off (in a good way!). I'm fucking baffled after hearing that 'improv4humans'. I don't believe Hanford hates the track though. I think at least that was a joke (Lennon not liking his own amazing vocal).

[@jackohearts66]

Twist and Shout is great but I know Beatles fanatics who think it's lame though not their worst which is ridiculous. I had assumed they were using that assertion as a semi-comedic premise to stir the pot. Unfortunately John himself offers no push back on cultural, aesthetic, political, moral or even physical health grounds. Oh well. Mr. Moonlight also gets thrown under the bus but it's a great tune in my book (love the rolling guitar lick). Somebody (Professor Fricke?) mentions For the Benefit of Mr. Kite as contender for worst and there I finally agree.

[@BabyFaceBren]

@@jackohearts66 it’s close for me, but if being tortured it would be something weird off the white album that would get me to break before Mr Kite would, heater skelter or revolution no. 9 (no. 9, no. 9, no. 9…)

[@jackohearts66]

@@BabyFaceBren I LOVE Helter Skelter and even No. 9 holds a certain meditative appeal for me but I agree that it does seem designed to induce insanity.

[@BabyFaceBren]

@@jackohearts66 OK Charlie M, enjoy your “Helter Skelter” (but it’ll end in tears) and by the way, “Mr Moonlight” is quite sweet.

Anders sucks as much as the Beatles rule. Painfully miserable energy from that guy.

[@BabyFaceBren]

@@unadventurer_ I honestly can’t remember his bit. As Scott says “It’s been a while”. But the fact I’ve forgotten says a lot I suppose

[@unadventurer_]

@@BabyFaceBren that's because he doesn't really have a bit. I'm in LA and know a handful of people that have worked with him, and I've heard nothing but lukewarm tales of meh about the guy. I don't think I've ever heard him on a podcast or show outside of his own scripted production be anything but a big fat goose egg of a contribution, both conversationally and comedically. Bren, I LOVE YOU. I've been listening to your videos every night and I can't thank you enough for putting all of these things together. The production value you add does not go unnoticed! You are AWESOME. ♥️♥️♥️

[@BabyFaceBren]

@@unadventurer_ thanks for that, glad you like my cuts. Cheers!
