[00:00:08] Speaker A: There is a. There is a conflict permeating the studio.
[00:00:14] Speaker B: Yeah,
[00:00:16] Speaker A: we get some serious music.
[00:00:18] Speaker B: Yeah. Dramatic. Ooh.
[00:00:25] Speaker A: All right, Bill, your opening comments.
There was just a conflict on the outside of the studio that the viewers were not privy to.
[00:00:37] Speaker B: Bill was a half hour late.
[00:00:39] Speaker A: Now he's preparing notes, opening statements.
This is serious music.
[00:00:48] Speaker B: This is a very serious song.
[00:00:54] Speaker A: What is this?
[00:00:56] Speaker B: This is called.
It's called Brutus. Instrumental by the Buttress.
[00:01:01] Speaker A: The Buttress.
[00:01:02] Speaker B: The Buttress.
[00:01:05] Speaker A: All right, we're waiting. Opening statements.
[00:01:10] Speaker C: Do you want me to. You want me to prepare my kit? You know, I was a.
[00:01:14] Speaker A: We were. We. I went to
[00:01:15] Speaker C: London in the 90s to debate. You want me to. You want to debate here? You want me to gather all my evidence? Because that's what I'm putting together. All right,
[00:01:22] Speaker A: you
[00:01:22] Speaker C: want me to do that or do you just want to apologize now?
[00:01:25] Speaker B: Because for whatever reason this is.
[00:01:27] Speaker C: Set me off to walk into a room and have two guys browbeat me for being late
[00:01:33] Speaker B: when I'm not
[00:01:34] Speaker C: late.
So imagine.
[00:01:37] Speaker B: Here's what
[00:01:37] Speaker C: I think. You guys. You guys talk on the side, whatever. I don't care. Right. You must talk about the show and like three o' clock tomorrow. Yeah, that
[00:01:45] Speaker A: sounds good.
[00:01:45] Speaker C: And you assume that I just know that you know whatever you guys are talking about.
[00:01:49] Speaker B: Wrong.
[00:01:50] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:01:51] Speaker A: We are both of the opinion that this is a 3 o' clock start.
That is definitely ingrained in my head.
[00:01:59] Speaker C: It looks like Sunday, August 9th, Christian said, I can do 3pm that was when we were doing Mondays. And I said, does 3:30 work? Okay? Yeah, that was okay with everybody. Now 3:30 is fine with me. Okay, Now I. It keeps jumping around, but when Christian changed the day to Tuesdays, right?
[00:02:21] Speaker A: I
[00:02:21] Speaker C: said I could do Tuesday, Whatever. Who cares? Maybe he did when we changed the day to Tuesday.
[00:02:25] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:02:26] Speaker C: Okay. It wasn't.
[00:02:27] Speaker B: No, no. I did request the Tuesday,
[00:02:29] Speaker C: which is fine. That's not a
[00:02:30] Speaker B: change. But the same hour. That's not a question. Same hour was assumed.
[00:02:33] Speaker C: No, no, see, here's where it was. Not the same hour. I can't make it here by three on a Tuesday because I teach and I never would have been able to make it here by three on a Tuesday.
[00:02:44] Speaker B: Do you have documentation of you telling us that?
[00:02:47] Speaker C: No, but I have documentation of us doing the fucking show at 3:30 every Tuesday.
Except for last week when I said I'm going to be 15 to 30 minutes late.
Can we. Is that okay? And we started at 3:45, 4. I think it was even here. Closer to 4. Okay. So I Mean, what do you want from me? I want an apology or I'm going to fucking throw this coffee right in your face. And then I'm gonna leap over this table and start swinging.
[00:03:12] Speaker A: Don't like coffee? Please don't throw coffee. No,
[00:03:15] Speaker C: I'm gonna burn.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: It's meant to
[00:03:16] Speaker C: burn you. You're
[00:03:16] Speaker B: gonna not.
[00:03:17] Speaker C: No other reason. You're
[00:03:18] Speaker B: gonna kabong me with your guitar?
[00:03:20] Speaker A: Yeah. What's the guitar for?
[00:03:21] Speaker C: Well, who cares now, right? I want a fucking apology.
That's rude.
[00:03:31] Speaker A: No, an apology isn't appropriate.
[00:03:33] Speaker C: No,
[00:03:33] Speaker A: no. This is a conflict resolution issue.
[00:03:37] Speaker B: An apology won't solve anything.
[00:03:38] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:03:39] Speaker C: What would. What would. What would I have to prove here to Warren? An apology?
[00:03:43] Speaker A: That I
[00:03:43] Speaker C: wasn't right? You guys
[00:03:45] Speaker A: get on to resolution.
We're saying 3:30. We assumed 3: O'. Clock. Are we now saying 3:30?
[00:03:54] Speaker C: No, we're not now saying 3:30.
[00:03:56] Speaker A: We've been
[00:03:56] Speaker C: saying 3:30.
[00:03:58] Speaker A: 3:30 going forward.
3:30 going forward.
[00:04:03] Speaker C: Three
[00:04:03] Speaker B: thirty going forward.
[00:04:04] Speaker C: Including the last two months? Yes, three.
[00:04:07] Speaker A: The last two months. All
[00:04:08] Speaker C: right. And the last two months. I
[00:04:10] Speaker B: can do that. I guess.
[00:04:11] Speaker A: I second the 3:30 proposal. You ratify. I
[00:04:15] Speaker B: ratify.
[00:04:15] Speaker A: 3:30.
[00:04:17] Speaker C: Okay. And now apologize to me because we've been doing it for. At 3:30 for the past two months.
Okay. I don't have the.
The last one I have is October 4th. Coming from the seaman.
I say that.
[00:04:35] Speaker B: I say. Here's
[00:04:35] Speaker C: the other special dice guy. The seaman. Groaneth. Sunday, October 4th. 3:30. Tomorrow. Great. Great.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: Yeah. That's an agreement. Because you're changing the time to 3:30.
[00:04:47] Speaker C: You.
[00:04:48] Speaker B: Okay. So I'm saying I
[00:04:50] Speaker C: could probably do it. Yeah. 3:30. Okay.
[00:04:53] Speaker B: Rather than the normal 3 o'. Clock.
[00:04:54] Speaker C: No.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: Yeah. And then you both agreed.
[00:04:59] Speaker C: Okay, here's another
[00:05:00] Speaker B: one here at three o'. Clock.
[00:05:02] Speaker C: Okay. Then there's Thursday, October 8th. I love this one. What day, Mark Geary. What day and time are we recording next week? Because this is after you realize that Mondays weren't good and Tuesdays are better.
[00:05:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:12] Speaker C: Christian McCann. Tuesday, 3:30, Bill.
Sounds good.
[00:05:18] Speaker B: Yeah,
[00:05:18] Speaker C: that's it. That
[00:05:19] Speaker B: was. I'm clarifying
[00:05:21] Speaker C: that we're not doing the
[00:05:21] Speaker B: normal three o' clock start time.
[00:05:23] Speaker C: Yeah, A month ago.
[00:05:24] Speaker B: Yeah,
[00:05:25] Speaker C: you. But I didn't say 3:30. You said 3:30. Asked me if that was okay.
[00:05:29] Speaker B: Right. A
[00:05:30] Speaker C: month ago.
[00:05:30] Speaker B: Otherwise we would have assumed 3 o'. Clock. I wouldn't be asking you if it was okay if it was the assumed time of 3pm
[00:05:37] Speaker C: but you're asking to have the show at 3:30amonth ago.
[00:05:40] Speaker B: Yeah. For the, for that following episode. Yeah.
Other. Other.
[00:05:45] Speaker C: All right, let me keep going. Otherwise
[00:05:46] Speaker B: all we're gonna do.
[00:05:47] Speaker C: This is all we're gonna do.
We recording tomorrow. Per usual Tim Allen Manor pigs. Yes, per us.
[00:05:56] Speaker B: Per us. Which means.
[00:05:58] Speaker C: Okay, wait, wait. No, no, no, wait. 3:00pm I love this.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: This is
[00:06:01] Speaker C: great. This is why this is so great. Tuesday, October 20th, 3:34pm parking car.
[00:06:09] Speaker B: Yeah. You were late then too.
[00:06:10] Speaker C: Okay, I was not. So you didn't. You decided not to say anything to me that day.
[00:06:14] Speaker B: You give up
[00:06:15] Speaker C: when? That was the following week when we were also at
[00:06:17] Speaker B: 3:30.
[00:06:18] Speaker C: I'm about to walk off. If you don't fucking own this, I'm going to fucking walk out of here.
This is unacceptable.
[00:06:25] Speaker A: There's voting going on next door.
[00:06:29] Speaker B: This is a polling place. There's a governmental. This is a government building. Doesn't mean it's a.
[00:06:34] Speaker A: What I will own is there has been a misunderstanding betwixt Christian and me and you with regards to what is our normal time and that has precipitated this situation.
[00:06:51] Speaker B: All we got
[00:06:52] Speaker A: to do is clear it up.
[00:06:53] Speaker B: Yeah,
[00:06:53] Speaker A: yeah. All we have to do is move on to.
[00:06:55] Speaker C: We can call it a misunderstanding and clear it up. When you two apologize to me for the way you just treated me in that lobby when I walked in like I was half hour late. When for the past month we've been meeting at 3:30. Right. That would be okay. And then we could move on.
[00:07:18] Speaker A: Can we get an arbitrator in?
[00:07:20] Speaker B: Yeah, who can arbitrate.
Jordan's got
[00:07:24] Speaker A: arbitrate. I
[00:07:25] Speaker C: don't think people want to hear about this.
[00:07:30] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:07:36] Speaker B: I know. I'm not apologizing.
[00:07:38] Speaker A: Hmm.
Yeah, I think we've, I think we've, Yeah, I think we've moved on to resolution.
[00:07:49] Speaker B: Yeah, we've gotten to that stage.
[00:07:51] Speaker A: I'm ready to resolve. I'm ready to go. Oh, I misunderstood that you had a different story start time in mind than I did.
Oh, dear. That's why I challenged you on it. Because we've been sat around, no apology needed, just a resolution.
That's it. I can agree
[00:08:14] Speaker B: with that.
I can.
[00:08:16] Speaker C: You mistreated me. That's what this is
[00:08:18] Speaker A: about.
I was
[00:08:19] Speaker B: mistreated. What was the mistreatment?
[00:08:21] Speaker A: What was. Yeah, what was mistreatment?
[00:08:24] Speaker C: I walked in, okay, this polling place. Because I, I, I didn't know that.
[00:08:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:28] Speaker C: And then what the, the real question is
[00:08:32] Speaker B: nobody swore why?
[00:08:33] Speaker C: Yeah, you
[00:08:33] Speaker B: said something.
[00:08:34] Speaker C: No, real,
[00:08:35] Speaker B: he said the real question. The question why Bill
[00:08:37] Speaker C: o' Donnell A half hour late.
[00:08:39] Speaker B: Exactly.
[00:08:40] Speaker C: And I was like, what? No.
[00:08:42] Speaker A: Being witty? No.
[00:08:43] Speaker B: Profanity.
[00:08:44] Speaker C: No, that wasn't, it's
[00:08:45] Speaker B: not mistreatment. That's just treatment.
[00:08:47] Speaker C: No, because I'm, I'm very conscious about people's time, right. I would not want to, I would never want to do that. Right. Where if it was my fault, I would feel horrible. Right. Equally so when it's not my fault and I'm made to feel horrible, that makes me pissed off. Right? Like, that's not fair. And you won't even own that.
Well,
[00:09:06] Speaker A: I can own that you got annoyed about it. I can see you're very annoyed about it. But I thought it was in the flippant, flippant comedic tone that we know our podcast. I
[00:09:18] Speaker C: didn't
[00:09:18] Speaker A: take,
[00:09:19] Speaker C: I, I didn't take it that way.
I, I, I walked into a room of very upset people who, who looked at me as if I had been wasting their time.
Right. Just out gallivanting around, coming in when I feel like it and just being late when for the past month we've confirmed and I've proven that through
[00:09:38] Speaker A: these texts. We're backing up again. We're backing up that we've been
[00:09:41] Speaker C: meeting at 3:30.
[00:09:42] Speaker A: Keep moving forward.
[00:09:43] Speaker B: We're losing the progress that we made.
[00:09:45] Speaker A: Yeah, we progressed.
[00:09:46] Speaker C: You
[00:09:47] Speaker A: might have
[00:09:47] Speaker C: progressed. I didn't progress.
[00:09:49] Speaker A: We progressed into resolution, but now you're backing us back into conflict.
Did you learn nothing from the special?
[00:10:00] Speaker C: Why can't you see that?
[00:10:02] Speaker A: I can see that you're upset by the re, the flippant reaction.
So I apologize for my manner. I, I will try not to be comedic in future. I will be very straight laced.
You go. You're about to witness the most straight laced episode.
[00:10:19] Speaker B: This isn't about comedy anyway.
[00:10:21] Speaker A: This is going to, I'm, I'm a pro. Here's my guarantee to you. From now on, I'm going to be a pro.
[00:10:28] Speaker C: What
[00:10:29] Speaker A: are you
[00:10:30] Speaker C: talking about?
[00:10:31] Speaker A: There'll be no flippancy. There will be no devil may care attitude.
[00:10:37] Speaker C: I don't know what you're talking.
So you're being funny in the lobby when you, you accosted me about being a half an hour
[00:10:44] Speaker A: late. I was being funny now. And I will be professional out of respect for what it has done to your demeanor.
[00:10:51] Speaker C: Yeah,
[00:10:53] Speaker A: yeah, I will. That's my plan. This
[00:10:55] Speaker C: is even more cockery.
[00:10:56] Speaker A: No, it isn't.
[00:10:57] Speaker C: You're slagging me off.
[00:10:58] Speaker A: I'm not slagging you off.
[00:10:59] Speaker C: You're slagging me off even
[00:11:00] Speaker A: more. I was flippant and unprofessional. From now on I will be professional.
That's. That's a.
That's not. Why
[00:11:10] Speaker C: you looking at him?
[00:11:11] Speaker A: Incend.
I'm looking to arbitrate.
That's not an incendiary statement.
[00:11:19] Speaker C: Incendiary.
[00:11:20] Speaker A: Incendiary in statement is.
Incendiary would be meaning
[00:11:25] Speaker C: inciting.
[00:11:25] Speaker A: That's me. Tough deal with it. This is me being.
What's the word? Conciliatory.
[00:11:31] Speaker C: No, it
[00:11:32] Speaker A: is. It's saying, I apologize for my flippancy. I will. I will be professional from now on.
[00:11:39] Speaker C: It's being disingenuous is what it is.
[00:11:41] Speaker A: Why?
[00:11:42] Speaker C: Because you're not really apologizing for your flippancy.
You're being smart.
[00:11:48] Speaker A: No, I'm not being
[00:11:49] Speaker C: disingenuous. And listen,
[00:11:51] Speaker A: I will be genuine if I don't behave
[00:11:53] Speaker C: professionally.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: You know, a chance to be disingenuous.
[00:11:57] Speaker C: You wanted. You won't admit that. Oh wait, we have been meeting at 3:30 for the past month.
I had to fucking backwards or. Oh, that makes sense that you would be here because we've been meeting at 3:30 for the past month and since I will not be incendiary and what the fuck you're saying instead of just being like, oh, okay, whatever. Yeah, you're right. You just. You're. You're someone who can't admit they're wrong.
[00:12:18] Speaker A: My belief is that we have done three o' clock recordings.
[00:12:21] Speaker C: We have. Of course we have. We've done different days, but for the
[00:12:24] Speaker A: past month and in this stretch of Tuesdays, my belief is we have done 3O'. Clocks. Have we done 3O'? Clock? I can't find
[00:12:31] Speaker C: any in here since we switched because I can't be here on.
At three o' clock on a Tuesday.
[00:12:38] Speaker B: My memory is that when we switched to Tuesdays you said I might not be able to be here right at three but I'll be here shortly after.
[00:12:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what my brain is processing,
[00:12:52] Speaker B: which is why I
[00:12:52] Speaker A: didn't.
[00:12:53] Speaker C: All I want to do is look is study these texts. And
[00:12:55] Speaker B: that's why I didn't text you until 3:20 because I was giving you that grace period. I
[00:12:59] Speaker C: didn't get. I didn't see it texted. I
[00:13:00] Speaker B: said, are you running late, Bill?
[00:13:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:02] Speaker B: At 3:20
[00:13:04] Speaker C: I was driving and I wasn't looking.
[00:13:06] Speaker A: You know what we could do?
[00:13:08] Speaker B: What could we do?
[00:13:09] Speaker A: We could go back to the files because this is this timestamped.
[00:13:19] Speaker B: Yeah, but the. I know the dates are always wrong in the times,
[00:13:23] Speaker A: so there's. This is
[00:13:25] Speaker B: not. No we can't count on this as a record
[00:13:27] Speaker A: because we could look at when the file creation. Yeah, it was.
And that would be a definitive.
What's the word?
[00:13:38] Speaker B: Representation.
[00:13:39] Speaker A: No,
[00:13:40] Speaker B: proof
[00:13:41] Speaker A: means it's data.
God damn it.
Empirical.
[00:13:48] Speaker B: Empirical evidence.
[00:13:50] Speaker A: Empiric. I only deal in empirical evidence.
[00:13:52] Speaker C: And the empirical evidence I've already supplied means nothing.
[00:13:55] Speaker A: No, no,
[00:13:55] Speaker C: no. Until you come up with some alternative facts.
[00:13:57] Speaker A: Texts.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: Yeah. That wasn't. That's not.
[00:13:59] Speaker A: That's not. You can't count on that. Facts are. When did the recording start?
That's. That's undeniable.
[00:14:07] Speaker B: We could do the math and see how far off the time and date is.
[00:14:10] Speaker A: People dick around with it. Well, you tell me the date and time and we'll see if it processes.
[00:14:15] Speaker B: Yeah, because if they line up, let's say they all say like they're off by
[00:14:19] Speaker A: four
[00:14:19] Speaker B: days and you know
[00:14:20] Speaker A: a
[00:14:20] Speaker B: certain amount, then we can figure out
[00:14:22] Speaker A: when the recordings start.
[00:14:23] Speaker B: Right. And then we'll really crack this nut.
[00:14:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
Do you agree with that? That's empirical evidence.
[00:14:31] Speaker C: What?
[00:14:33] Speaker A: Empirical evidence.
[00:14:34] Speaker C: Whatever.
Hate you guys.
[00:14:39] Speaker A: All right, let's start the podcast.
[00:14:41] Speaker B: All right. Oh,
[00:14:42] Speaker A: hang on. No, no, no. That was flipping. I apologize again. That was flippant. From now on, you're getting professional, Mark Gehry.
No snide comments, no smugness, just the facts.
Yeah. The serious music stopped.
[00:15:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. We had to get to arguing.
Now we're into happy music because we've resolved our conf.
[00:15:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Conflict resolution.
[00:15:13] Speaker C: Let me ask you this. What.
Where.
Where here does it say, you know, what time we're meeting today? Who's.
[00:15:22] Speaker B: It doesn't. That's. That's our whole case is that there's an assumed
[00:15:25] Speaker C: time.
[00:15:26] Speaker A: Yeah, we're. That's the problem is we're all operating on a different assumptions and
[00:15:33] Speaker B: it
[00:15:33] Speaker A: creates this
[00:15:33] Speaker B: huge problem now.
[00:15:34] Speaker A: And that's why conflict isn't sued.
[00:15:40] Speaker C: If there was no, you know, nothing written down here saying we'd be here at this time. That was very bold of you both to attack me. With no real record of when the. We were meeting,
[00:15:52] Speaker B: especially
[00:15:52] Speaker C: when we've been meeting at 3:30 for the past month. You had no problem jumping on me in the
[00:15:56] Speaker B: lobby. I feel like you felt
[00:15:57] Speaker C: that other
[00:15:57] Speaker B: guy very easily. All that was, all that was said was the question on the ballot is why are you half an hour late?
But your presentation of it,
[00:16:07] Speaker C: and you did it in front of that bloke out there. I don't know who the that is.
[00:16:10] Speaker B: That's Jordan. You know Jordan.
[00:16:11] Speaker C: No, I don't Know him and you belittled me in front of him.
[00:16:14] Speaker B: They don't care.
[00:16:15] Speaker A: Yeah, they, they're fine with it.
[00:16:18] Speaker B: They had headphones in. Anyway, listen,
[00:16:22] Speaker C: all right, well, go ahead, do the show.
Talk about Cary Godlyman and bandwidth. I'm here. You know, if I have anything to add, I'll chime in. You guys go ahead.
[00:16:32] Speaker B: You're like
[00:16:34] Speaker C: you. You know the times and everything. God, I'm here.
[00:16:38] Speaker A: All right.
[00:16:39] Speaker B: Yeah,
[00:16:39] Speaker A: we're all going to be professional. Yeah,
[00:16:41] Speaker C: let's be professional. Let's go.
[00:16:42] Speaker A: All right, so let's do gifts.
[00:16:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay.
[00:16:46] Speaker A: I haven't had time to appraise these, but I'm guessing around about the thirty to forty dollar mark.
[00:16:57] Speaker B: I thought you're gonna say nineteen thirties or forties.
[00:16:59] Speaker A: No, no, no. I have no time to appraise. So I went back to the T shirts. So I've got, I got the music T shirt.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: Hey, that's nice.
[00:17:09] Speaker A: So that way when you walk into a venue, then are you, are you the act for tonight? Right? Are you the keyboard?
[00:17:16] Speaker B: I got the music.
[00:17:16] Speaker A: You just point at your T shirt.
[00:17:18] Speaker B: Right? What do you think?
[00:17:19] Speaker A: I. Yeah, exactly. I got the music.
[00:17:21] Speaker B: Right?
[00:17:22] Speaker A: So I'm appraising this at about $40. That's pretty retro print, brand new T shirt.
[00:17:29] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:17:29] Speaker A: So there's that.
[00:17:31] Speaker B: Well, thank
[00:17:31] Speaker A: you
[00:17:32] Speaker B: very much.
[00:17:32] Speaker A: And then Bill, your present again. It's a tricky appraisal.
You've been going down to the Ozarks a lot, and I figure you have to win these people over. So I've got you an Uncle Jesse Dukes of Hazzard T shirt. Now, what's interesting is the, the print kind of effed up and his left eye is missing, making it spooky.
So it's Uncle Jesse, the Dukes of Hazzard.
The idea is he ingratiates you with the people of Missouri and the Ozarks because they go, oh, he's one of us again. I'm valuing it. It's retro. It's Dukes of Hazard around about the forty dollar mark.
I'd like to ask you a question that you can or can't answer. It's up to you.
Are you a large or a medium T shirt?
[00:18:31] Speaker C: Depends. Depends on, you know,
[00:18:33] Speaker A: depends on the word. I've been eating the brand, blah, blah, blah,
[00:18:36] Speaker C: how my life is going.
[00:18:40] Speaker A: Meaning you. Your weight varies.
Okay. So I add on the side of large just in case.
[00:18:47] Speaker C: That should be fine.
[00:18:49] Speaker A: All right, so that's my presence.
[00:18:52] Speaker B: Well, this is very kind. Thank you very much.
I. I have to say, I Didn't bring any physical gifts today.
I was a little short on time.
So I do plan on bringing two next week.
[00:19:04] Speaker A: All right.
[00:19:06] Speaker C: You said no physical gifts. You have other gifts.
[00:19:09] Speaker B: Oh, my. I consider my presence here a gift, at the very least in the financial sense of it being that I am taking my time off of my workday. So my wages that I am sacrificing for the show is essentially a gift to both of you.
[00:19:23] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:19:24] Speaker C: You'd be working somewhere right now.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: I'd be working here right now.
[00:19:27] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:19:29] Speaker C: All right, well, that's for you.
[00:19:34] Speaker A: All right.
[00:19:36] Speaker C: And here's. Here's a guitar that's for
[00:19:38] Speaker B: you. Awesome. That looks great.
[00:19:41] Speaker A: Whoa.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: Is it tuned?
[00:19:43] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:19:46] Speaker A: I'm describing this for the list. Oh, no, you should describe it.
I don't lift it by the neck. Ah, yeah, that was bad.
[00:19:53] Speaker C: Why?
[00:19:54] Speaker A: I think it strains the neck.
[00:19:57] Speaker B: Well, Bill has gifted me a very thoughtful electric guitar with stickers around it.
Where do the stickers come from, Bill?
[00:20:07] Speaker C: Yeah, I just got them.
[00:20:09] Speaker B: Oh,
[00:20:10] Speaker C: there you go. That's for. For GoPro, so you can. It's go underwater with GoPro. A bunch of GoPro accessories for you. It
[00:20:16] Speaker B: looks expensive.
[00:20:17] Speaker C: It is expensive. It's probably. I don't know.
[00:20:18] Speaker A: What's the market value?
[00:20:20] Speaker C: I don't know. It's a. You know, the nicest gift anyone's given anyone here. For sure.
Enjoy that.
[00:20:25] Speaker B: Well, thank you.
[00:20:27] Speaker A: Wait,
[00:20:35] Speaker B: What are you looking at?
[00:20:35] Speaker A: No, I just want to describe it.
[00:20:37] Speaker C: It's just GoPro accessories, so you go underwater with your GoPro.
[00:20:40] Speaker A: So this is a floatable, right?
[00:20:42] Speaker C: Yeah. You could float in the water with your GoPro and put
[00:20:45] Speaker A: it on your helmet, put on camera. This sticks it on the window.
This sticks it to my head.
[00:20:51] Speaker C: That's right.
[00:20:51] Speaker B: Where did you get this?
[00:20:53] Speaker C: Get what?
[00:20:54] Speaker B: This guitar
[00:20:56] Speaker C: got a deal on it. That's all. It's got a deal on
[00:20:58] Speaker B: it.
[00:20:58] Speaker A: This is a selfie stick
[00:21:00] Speaker B: at the Thrifty.
[00:21:03] Speaker C: Like to say where I get stuff.
[00:21:05] Speaker A: And then there's several mounts.
[00:21:06] Speaker B: It's got seven strings on it.
[00:21:09] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:21:10] Speaker B: Never
[00:21:10] Speaker A: seen a guitar. Right.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: I've never seen a guitar with seven strings on it.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: This one goes all the way to seven.
[00:21:20] Speaker B: Why does it have seven strings on it?
[00:21:22] Speaker C: I don't know anything about guitars. Really?
[00:21:25] Speaker B: Well, thank you.
[00:21:26] Speaker A: Where's the actual GoPro?
[00:21:27] Speaker C: There's no. I don't. There isn't one. It's just the accessories. I can't find the GoPro,
[00:21:32] Speaker B: and I do regret picking it up by the neck. I kind of freaked out with the transfer.
[00:21:36] Speaker A: Why
[00:21:37] Speaker C: can't you pick it up by the neck?
[00:21:38] Speaker B: It can alter
[00:21:39] Speaker A: the. How
[00:21:40] Speaker C: are you supposed to pick it up
[00:21:42] Speaker B: closer to the base?
[00:21:44] Speaker C: I've been carried around by the neck anyway.
Well, there you go. Gifts.
[00:21:52] Speaker A: All right.
[00:21:59] Speaker B: It's our gift song now.
So we are a polling place. Which got me to remembering something I. I forgot to bring up. Last time I did my voting by mail this round, I had received an email saying, hey, you know you can vote by mail, which, of course, I'd heard of in the past. And I decided my. Now my polling place is just right next door to me almost, and there's nobody ever in line, so it's not really like a hassle to get there. But sometimes I will forget and be halfway on my way to work and remember. Damn it, I forgot.
[00:22:40] Speaker A: Is it a school or something? It's
[00:22:41] Speaker B: a. It's
[00:22:42] Speaker A: a.
[00:22:43] Speaker B: It's a. No, it's. It's an auto. They sell cars.
[00:22:47] Speaker A: What?
[00:22:47] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a. What do you call it? A dealership.
Yeah, it's in a dealership. It's called Windy City Motors.
[00:22:54] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[00:22:55] Speaker B: Yeah, On Cicero Avenue. So.
So usually I stop in there, but. Yeah, last time I did, I forgot. I. I was halfway to work, and apparently I had to go all the way back, etc, and so.
So I figured, I'll try this vote for mail thing. Why not? You know, it's like a month ago. I had plenty of time, so I applied for the ballot, they sent it to me in the mail, and I thought, okay, fine, I'll fill it out. I'll send it back at some point. And then when I sat down to fill it out, I realized the real advantage is when you have the ballot with you at home to fill out. You have the time to sit there with your laptop open and research everybody that you're voting for, actually look up every single name. And I did. I read. I read up on every single person I voted for, all the way down to the water commissioner, which led to much more balanced voting.
And I know why I voted for everybody this time around. So I would encourage anybody that, you know, you go in there sometimes, you don't know what these judges are about or whatever, just kind of fill the boxes, you know, whether you're Democrat, Republican, whatever you are, might just pick one and vote all the way down that line. This way you could.
You could say, you know what? That's it.
They might be in the party that I normally vote for, but I don't really agree with what they do. So. And this other guy seems. Or Gail seems to know what they're doing and vote more appropriately and with more wisdom.
[00:24:15] Speaker A: You know, you could do that as well as you could watch any given movie on Tubi, and all you'll get is a relentless feed of local election.
[00:24:23] Speaker B: Yeah, right. But then they're just bashing each other. You don't. You can't believe it. You don't know
[00:24:27] Speaker A: what
[00:24:27] Speaker B: to, you know. So you got to look up the straight dope and you got to find unbiased websites. That's the thing. You got to do a little bit of time, like, take your time to find what's not being sponsored by something or, you know, and they are out there. You can. If you do enough digging, you can find it.
[00:24:43] Speaker A: It's definitely a feature of American politics that I was not used to. Is this smear like,
[00:24:49] Speaker B: it is.
[00:24:49] Speaker A: It's. It's really a party fight.
[00:24:52] Speaker B: It's so silly.
[00:24:53] Speaker A: In England, it's a party fight. Like, they're just going to tell you labor just says, this consists of. Conservative says this. There's no.
This guy shags hamsters in his spare time. You know, according to the Chicago Tribune, blah, blah, blah, this, that, and the other, which is, you know, it's disappointing that it's not about policy.
[00:25:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
Yeah, it is. It does seem a little adolescent when you're looking at. I wonder who falls for those two.
[00:25:20] Speaker A: And I've had this argument with the missus. She's big on morality. Like, well, I don't really. You know, I got to know that this guy's moral and stuff.
[00:25:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:29] Speaker A: And I'm like, no, you got to know that this guy cares about education. And sure, he can
[00:25:36] Speaker B: do the job.
[00:25:36] Speaker A: Like, who cares where he's waggling his willie, you know, like. But she's all like, no, no, that's. That's part of their makeup. And I'm like, yeah, I just don't follow that one also. Is it. Is it. So we had a guy from the New Yorker in here.
[00:25:59] Speaker B: Oh. Taking
[00:25:59] Speaker A: photos.
[00:26:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:01] Speaker A: And, you know, obviously I had to. What was weird is I was taking photos of him. Taking photos.
[00:26:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:09] Speaker A: For our social media.
[00:26:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:11] Speaker A: You know, because Kelsey India. And I'm like, hey, you know, this is some. We'll put on there. And I was like, now all we need is someone taking photos of me taking
[00:26:19] Speaker B: photos
[00:26:20] Speaker A: for our social media and stuff. And. But I was like, that got me to think. And he's like, yeah, we're going to, like, funeral. A funeral home and this and that. I'm like, is Chicago the only place in America that does weird and wacky
[00:26:37] Speaker B: voting?
[00:26:37] Speaker A: Voting stuff.
[00:26:38] Speaker B: Does
[00:26:39] Speaker A: everywhere else. Just use the local school gym?
[00:26:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:42] Speaker A: And Chicago's like, screw it, we'll put them anywhere.
[00:26:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:46] Speaker A: Is that why they. Is that why the New Yorker sends. Yeah.
[00:26:50] Speaker B: Oh, did you ask him this question?
[00:26:52] Speaker A: No. You're just
[00:26:53] Speaker B: wondering. Okay.
[00:26:54] Speaker A: I was like, why does the New Yorker give a toss? Why didn't they just wander around Brooklyn?
[00:26:59] Speaker B: Right.
Yeah.
[00:27:02] Speaker A: But where did you used to vote in Balt. Not in Baltimore.
[00:27:05] Speaker B: In Buffalo.
[00:27:06] Speaker A: Buffalo.
[00:27:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
Where did I vote in Buffalo?
I feel like it was always. It was always in a church or a school or something like that.
[00:27:14] Speaker A: Yeah. So maybe.
Maybe that's why, like, you know, New York State is like, no, we have to put this somewhere with gravity.
[00:27:24] Speaker B: Yeah. There was never. I don't remember ever hearing of, in Buffalo, hearing of a voting station being in a comedy club or a dealership.
[00:27:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
Funeral home. Funeral home.
[00:27:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
I came across a picture of a picture. A picture inside a picture. Just yesterday, somebody snapped a picture of Borky, myself and Jenna Gephardt behind the bar during the future of Comedy Weekend. And I'm wearing a T shirt with a picture of Borky and I on it. It's one of our Christian and Christian dueling piano shirts that a fan made and it sent to me. So I'm wearing a T shirt of our photo and a photo of us.
[00:28:04] Speaker A: Smetta, do you have anything to add, Bill?
[00:28:07] Speaker C: Oh, you gonna look at me? You haven't looked at me since you started that diatribe. It's like I'm not even in the room.
[00:28:13] Speaker A: All right, do you have anything to add, election wise? Where do they do them in Massachusetts?
[00:28:19] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:28:20] Speaker A: You didn't vote
[00:28:24] Speaker B: in Massachusetts
[00:28:25] Speaker A: or you always in California or somewhere else?
[00:28:27] Speaker C: I don't remember.
[00:28:28] Speaker B: Were you old enough to vote in Massachusetts?
[00:28:33] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:28:34] Speaker A: You don't know? So you don't have anything to add?
[00:28:38] Speaker C: All I can think about is, is what happened in that lobby when I walked in and the two of you sitting there eyeballing me like the way you did and attacking me for being a half hour late in front of that other.
[00:28:47] Speaker B: I wasn't sitting anywhere. I stood up and unlocked the door to let you in.
[00:28:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:52] Speaker C: Yeah. And he gave me a look, now that I think about it, when I was walking in, like, look who decided to show up. Yeah.
But yet still here I am, the bad guy for being upset that you two attacked me.
[00:29:05] Speaker B: Oh, I don't
[00:29:06] Speaker C: I bring
[00:29:07] Speaker B: it. I don't. I bring a guitar. Actually, I don't think that's true. I didn't attack you. I
[00:29:11] Speaker C: give you go. I give you GoPro accessories.
[00:29:13] Speaker A: A guitar.
[00:29:15] Speaker C: What?
[00:29:15] Speaker A: I gave you some sass.
[00:29:17] Speaker C: That was not sass. That was legitimate ire at me for being 30 minutes late, when in fact I wasn't late.
[00:29:27] Speaker A: So you denying that I know my own mind.
You know when I'm mad because I like tremble minor trembles.
[00:29:43] Speaker C: You weren't mad.
[00:29:44] Speaker A: And I lose it.
[00:29:45] Speaker C: You weren't mad.
I
[00:29:47] Speaker A: think time lose it.
[00:29:50] Speaker C: Well, I mean, it's not that big of a deal. Big time. Lose it.
[00:29:54] Speaker A: Oh, even if I was late.
[00:29:56] Speaker C: What?
[00:29:57] Speaker A: You'll know if I'm mad.
[00:30:00] Speaker C: Yeah, you
[00:30:00] Speaker A: try me like
[00:30:01] Speaker C: you come get mad
[00:30:02] Speaker A: at me.
[00:30:04] Speaker C: You see, you'll see him. You'll see the Incredible Hulk come out.
[00:30:09] Speaker B: Oh, what's it, what is it? What is the guy's original name?
[00:30:12] Speaker C: Bruce.
[00:30:13] Speaker B: Bruce Banner.
[00:30:14] Speaker A: No, not Bruce. Bruce Wayne.
[00:30:16] Speaker C: Bruce Banner.
[00:30:17] Speaker B: Bruce Wayne. That's Batman.
[00:30:19] Speaker C: It's Batman.
[00:30:20] Speaker A: It can't be. Two Bruce's David Banner. It's David Banner.
[00:30:25] Speaker C: He's right,
[00:30:25] Speaker B: damn it.
[00:30:27] Speaker C: Dr.
[00:30:27] Speaker A: David Banner.
[00:30:28] Speaker B: There can't be two
[00:30:28] Speaker C: Bruce Banner. Bruce Banner.
[00:30:31] Speaker A: Bruce.
[00:30:32] Speaker C: Yeah, I think he's right. David Banner.
[00:30:37] Speaker B: Well,
[00:30:39] Speaker C: I don't know that I could do. I mean, I'm going to. I'm going to. I'm a professional, so I'll sit here. But unless I get some kind of. You both said you won't apologize and that's not going to happen. Acknowledgement that I wasn't late.
[00:30:52] Speaker B: I'll acknowledge that the time switched around and that we had different understandings of what time we were going to be here today. There was no confirmation.
[00:31:00] Speaker A: You're looking at a duality in the universe. Your brain is saying, I'm not late. My brain is saying, he's late.
[00:31:07] Speaker C: The only difference is I didn't attack you. That's the difference.
[00:31:11] Speaker A: Well, attack slash sassy.
[00:31:15] Speaker C: You attacked me.
[00:31:16] Speaker B: I did not attack you.
[00:31:17] Speaker C: You did.
[00:31:17] Speaker B: What did I do?
[00:31:19] Speaker C: You gave me that.
[00:31:21] Speaker B: I looked at you. I. So I looked at you and that's an attack.
[00:31:24] Speaker C: And you backed him. And you. You
[00:31:25] Speaker B: backed him.
[00:31:26] Speaker C: That's the other thing is you teamed up on me. The. The two you are here, you probably thought it was three o'. Clock. Three o'. Clock. Yeah, but you don't include me in any of the conversations. You've done this a lot where you have the. You, you arrange
[00:31:37] Speaker B: the times.
You'll text
[00:31:39] Speaker C: me on the side like, hey, can you do this time tomorrow. You've already talked to him. Leave me out. I don't give a fuck. Whatever. But then clearly that went on this time. You guys said 3 o' clock didn't include me on it.
[00:31:48] Speaker B: That didn't happen.
[00:31:49] Speaker A: Well,
[00:31:49] Speaker C: we've been meeting at 3:30 every week.
[00:31:51] Speaker A: Nah, I've been here since 5:00am
[00:31:54] Speaker C: who gives a fuck about that? That isn't. That's apropos of nothing.
[00:31:58] Speaker B: I got here at 1:45.
[00:31:59] Speaker C: You're being here 5.
So that to do with us being here at 3 or 3:30? Nothing.
[00:32:08] Speaker A: Mm.
[00:32:12] Speaker C: Maybe I'm dealing with something bigger. This is really.
[00:32:15] Speaker B: It sounds like this is coming from somewhere else.
[00:32:17] Speaker C: Sent me into a dark place
[00:32:19] Speaker B: like. Like your dark matter
[00:32:20] Speaker A: coffee. Coffee. Yeah.
[00:32:22] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[00:32:24] Speaker A: Maybe they're putting dark matter in the coffee.
[00:32:26] Speaker B: Maybe that. Yeah, maybe. Maybe they're putting dark thoughts into the coffee.
[00:32:31] Speaker C: Maybe.
[00:32:37] Speaker A: So what about elections? Have you got anyone else anything to add?
[00:32:42] Speaker B: Myself, no, that was my election story.
[00:32:45] Speaker A: I find it ironic that I'm here at 5am working my ass off, excluded from the voting
[00:32:53] Speaker B: for an American election that you can't vote in.
[00:32:54] Speaker A: Yeah,
[00:32:55] Speaker C: you're not American.
[00:32:57] Speaker A: Who cares? No taxation without representation.
That was the rallying cry.
[00:33:02] Speaker C: So you should be able to vote even though you're not a citizen of this country.
[00:33:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:33:06] Speaker B: Oh, wait. Do you have to pay taxes?
[00:33:07] Speaker A: I pay taxes through the. Other than
[00:33:09] Speaker B: sales taxes.
[00:33:11] Speaker A: Every tax. How much tax we pay for this place? That's
[00:33:14] Speaker B: interesting. Yeah,
[00:33:15] Speaker A: I pay tax through the ass. What
[00:33:18] Speaker B: about like your yearly federal taxes and all that? Do you have to do all
[00:33:20] Speaker A: that? Shitload.
[00:33:21] Speaker B: But not just for. I mean like you personally. Mark Geary.
[00:33:24] Speaker C: Yeah, Mark Erie
[00:33:24] Speaker A: does a shitload of personal things. Tax
[00:33:27] Speaker C: vis a vis the Lincoln Lodge. Not Marty.
[00:33:29] Speaker A: No, no, no. Mark Geary does. The Lincoln Lodge does. Newport Theater does.
[00:33:34] Speaker B: And what's wild is if you pay taxes but you can't vote, there's no way for you to change it because you can't vote against. You can't vote yourself a difference.
You know, you're kind of stuck.
[00:33:45] Speaker A: People used to say to me, they made all these lies about what the. The Revolutionary War was. Oh, it was about this, it was about. About that. There's no taxation without representation. Well, that's bollocks for a start.
So you can blow that out your ass.
Here's why. And at one point I seriously thought, why am I wasting my time with a clown farm doing this when I could address a huge issue which is there are millions and millions of immigrants in America that are not allowed to vote.
[00:34:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:34:25] Speaker A: And I thought maybe I should just ditch the comedy bullshit and focus on that.
[00:34:30] Speaker B: Get into politics.
[00:34:32] Speaker A: Just get into, like, why can't immigrants vote? But then here's what the. Here's what changed the tide.
I know a lot of immigrants and I realized they're going to vote the wrong way.
[00:34:47] Speaker B: What do you mean by that?
[00:34:48] Speaker A: Not the way that I would like them to vote.
And I thought I could make the situation worse.
[00:34:56] Speaker B: For yourself?
[00:34:58] Speaker A: For the country.
So I was like, you know what?
I think it wouldn't go the way you think it would if immigrants were allowed to vote.
[00:35:09] Speaker B: Do you mean the wrong way? Like they would vote Misinformed. Like they just wouldn't, you know,
[00:35:14] Speaker A: they would vote for the party that is wrong.
[00:35:17] Speaker B: What's the wrong party then?
[00:35:19] Speaker A: I think we all know that from previous.
I'm trying, I'm dancing around it.
[00:35:23] Speaker B: But you think immigrants would vote for.
[00:35:26] Speaker A: Against their interests? Yes.
[00:35:28] Speaker B: Why? Why do you think they would do that?
[00:35:35] Speaker A: I found prevalent in the immigrant community a streak which says, I came here with nothing.
I worked, I did this, I sacrificed.
Anyone else who isn't me is a scrounging communist.
[00:35:57] Speaker B: Okay,
[00:35:58] Speaker A: blah, blah, blah.
[00:35:59] Speaker B: I can start to see the logic.
[00:36:01] Speaker A: I found that now maybe that's the immigrants that I know.
And I was like, the ones
[00:36:10] Speaker B: that have made it, that have found some success.
[00:36:13] Speaker A: Ones that have found success will just flip.
[00:36:17] Speaker B: Right. Because they. Yeah, I. Okay, I can see that logic. But do you think they're in the majority against the ones that have not found success?
[00:36:24] Speaker A: Yes, I do. Because I think the ones that haven't found success aren't probably interested in the political process.
[00:36:30] Speaker B: So. So they're
[00:36:31] Speaker A: not going to show
[00:36:31] Speaker B: up to vote.
[00:36:31] Speaker A: So they're not going to show.
And therefore.
So I, you know, I bravely didn't do it.
[00:36:40] Speaker B: I see.
[00:36:41] Speaker A: And then someone told me that the Clint that immigrants did used to be able to vote and that it was in. It was de. Implemented by the Clinton administration in the 80s or 90s whenever it was. And that
[00:36:55] Speaker B: seems late.
[00:36:56] Speaker A: That made it interesting to me because I'm like, if immigrants could vote and then it was removed from them, people removing that would only do it in their self interest.
[00:37:09] Speaker B: Yeah,
[00:37:10] Speaker A: right.
[00:37:11] Speaker B: Right. So why would the Clintons want that?
[00:37:14] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:37:15] Speaker B: Because that's the opposite of what you would think
[00:37:17] Speaker A: it is
[00:37:17] Speaker B: going on like the last 20 years.
[00:37:19] Speaker A: Unless. And then this is what I thought, maybe there was a study done and someone said, all right, if we do this, we will gain curry favor with the middle.
The middle ground. Yeah. Okay. Who are kind of on the fence.
Well, they're left wing. They're kind of namby pamby, blah blah blah. And then we remove this from immigrants.
They're gonna go, ooh, they're beating on the immigrants.
Okay, I'll go with it.
[00:37:54] Speaker B: Right,
[00:37:57] Speaker A: that makes sense.
[00:37:58] Speaker B: Yeah,
[00:37:59] Speaker A: I know I'm second guessing a lot of this. What do you have to add to that, bill?
[00:38:04] Speaker C: All right, so.
Tuesday, October 27th, 5:22am
[00:38:12] Speaker B: 5:22.
[00:38:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:14] Speaker C: Yeah. Men, I will be coming in hot from an appointment today. Can we start a bit later? 15 to 30 minutes.
Tuesday, October 27, 7:25am from the seaman. Sure. As long as we stick to a tight agenda, I promise I will focus, I said,
[00:38:32] Speaker B: which ended up being an hour and a half episode.
[00:38:35] Speaker A: Whatever. Focused.
[00:38:36] Speaker C: I, I didn't want to share what appointment I had, but now I have to because this has become a thing.
[00:38:41] Speaker B: No,
[00:38:41] Speaker A: you don't have to.
[00:38:42] Speaker C: Well, I had an appointment.
[00:38:43] Speaker A: No, no, you don't have
[00:38:44] Speaker B: to.
[00:38:45] Speaker A: You don't have to share the appointment.
[00:38:46] Speaker C: Fine, I won't.
I had an appointment.
[00:38:50] Speaker A: It's not on the table. I'm gonna bleep. I'm not
[00:38:52] Speaker C: gonna say what the appointment is. I had an appointment at 2:30. That appointment lasts 45 minutes, which takes me to 3:15, which is why I didn't know if I could get from that appointment to here by 3:30. So that might be 15 to 30 minutes late. Right? So I know that I didn't leave that appointment till 3:15. There was never any question of the time in here.
[00:39:14] Speaker B: Yeah,
[00:39:14] Speaker C: what time does that mean? Because, no, no, no, hold on. Because I just said I was gonna be 15 to 30 minutes late and I think I arrived closer to 30. Right?
So it was almost 4 o'. Clock. I don't have record of that, but there was no question of what time does that mean? Right. If it was 15 to 30 minutes later, it would have been 3:15 or 3:30. But I was here at 4:4 o'. Clock. Which proves that tacitly you two accepted the 3:30 time and said nothing. Right, because you knew that it was 3:30. But now this week I come in at 3:30 and you guys are staring holes through me with that other character out there. I don't know why he's involved in this. Right? And you attack me when I walk in at 3:30.
Okay? And then when I say, what the fuck is this about? 3:30, 3:33. And then I show you all the things every week, 3:30, 3:33. For the past three or four weeks.
Documented. And you still won't acknowledge this 3:30 that we meet on Tuesdays? Yes, on Mondays. Before Seaman changed it, it was three o'. Clock. Because Mondays I didn't have anything to do. I said Mondays was my day off. That's why I was. Wanted to do Mondays. Seaman didn't want to do Mondays. Wanted to do Tuesday. Stupid Mondays. Didn't work for him. Fine. Said fine. 3:30. But I can only come at 3:30 because I worked till 3 o'. Clock.
But now you're telling me. No, it's 3 o'. Clock. It's always been at 3 o'. Clock. And you won't acknowledge it or apologize for it. I can't move on until you do. This is absurd. You're making me. You're gaslighting me. You're gaslighting me. I don't know if this is done deliberate. It's done to see if you could rile me up. Well, you've done it. You've riled me right up. All right. But if you don't acknowledge that it was 3:30 and you made the mistake. You guys, both you guys,
[00:40:58] Speaker A: hang on.
Voting.
[00:41:03] Speaker C: I can't talk to you about comedy or about voting or about why you two didn't come to my. My big party on Saturday night.
[00:41:12] Speaker B: I already told you why.
[00:41:14] Speaker C: Yeah, well, you. You could have come after work. It was. Went till 7 in the morning. You did no call, no show. Didn't even send your regrets.
[00:41:23] Speaker A: I am.
[00:41:24] Speaker B: Is that what this is all about?
[00:41:25] Speaker A: Yeah,
[00:41:26] Speaker C: maybe. But that still doesn't erase the fact that it was 3:30.
[00:41:30] Speaker A: You were wrong.
[00:41:31] Speaker C: You're wrong. You made it 3:30. I got the things right here. It's at 3:30, Bill. 3:30. Work next week. 3:30. Not me saying 3:30. You saying 3:30.
[00:41:39] Speaker A: I went to see the Damned, not this movie.
[00:41:44] Speaker C: We can get to that. If you two can acknowledge that you were wrong and I was right. And that's it. You don't have to apologize. I don't need an apology. I'll
[00:41:51] Speaker B: stick to my acknowledgement.
We had a different understanding of what time we were meeting.
[00:41:56] Speaker A: Okay, I was wrong and you were right.
[00:41:59] Speaker B: Okay, I was wrong. You were right.
[00:42:00] Speaker A: All right.
So I went to see the Damned.
[00:42:04] Speaker C: Do you mean it?
[00:42:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:42:06] Speaker C: You mean
[00:42:06] Speaker A: I went to see the dam.
[00:42:07] Speaker C: You don't mean it. You're just saying that.
[00:42:09] Speaker A: I went to see the Damned and I honestly, I was so shagged out, by the time I got home at 11:00am I, I'd forgotten about the film. Thing.
[00:42:19] Speaker B: I also forgot about it.
I went to Milwaukee the night before, so I was already a little low on sleep.
[00:42:26] Speaker C: People ask me, hey, where are the guys?
[00:42:28] Speaker B: I mean,
[00:42:28] Speaker C: I go, I don't know. I think
[00:42:30] Speaker B: just enough in the tank to do my. To come to work that night. And then after that, I was gassed.
[00:42:35] Speaker A: Oh, lucky. I made the Damned. Two encores.
[00:42:39] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:39] Speaker A: I was like, know your audience. The Damned.
[00:42:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:44] Speaker A: One woman's already pastel.
[00:42:46] Speaker B: Play those songs up front.
[00:42:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:42:49] Speaker B: They should start with the encores.
[00:42:51] Speaker A: Yeah. It's like, play your good punk stuff.
Don't wait till the end, and then we can all drift off. I had a woman pass out and almost took me down.
Know your audience. Are
[00:43:04] Speaker B: you still not talking? We've acknowledged
[00:43:06] Speaker A: we just.
[00:43:07] Speaker B: Apologies,
[00:43:08] Speaker C: but the way he did it was. Oh,
[00:43:10] Speaker B: so now we have to do it a certain
[00:43:10] Speaker C: way. Right. And like it.
It's almost. It was just sticking a pacifier in my mouth.
[00:43:18] Speaker A: A what?
[00:43:19] Speaker B: Pacifier. It's like. It's a binky.
[00:43:21] Speaker C: Here's what you
[00:43:22] Speaker B: want.
Well, no, we're trying to pull the pacifier out of your mouth. So you start talking.
[00:43:27] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:43:29] Speaker C: All right.
Well, you attacked me and then you. You hurt my feelings. Didn't come to my big movie festival.
No call, no show. Everybody's asking, where's the seaman?
Everybody. All the people from
[00:43:44] Speaker A: listening
[00:43:45] Speaker C: to the show. All the people.
[00:43:46] Speaker B: I had already said I couldn't go because of work. You did say, you can come after work. I said, I'll see. I never said I will.
But I right away said, I can't do that. I'm working. And I made a joke. Obviously I was joking when I said, At 2 in the morning, I'm gonna go pick up Mark Gehry and we'll both be over. We both know that Mark's not awake at 2 in the morning. I'm not doing that.
[00:44:03] Speaker A: Yeah. This is a miracle. I made it through two encores.
[00:44:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:44:09] Speaker A: Plus.
Oh, I know. Part of the reason, but I totally forgot to respond.
Running late, Bill. Pointy man.
Right. I had already watched It's a Great Pumpkin earlier.
From 6:15 through till 11 was the Damned at 11:55. At 11, 11:55, the Lost Boys started. I watched the Lost Boys three months ago.
So that takes us to 140 with RoboCop. RoboCop I do not like.
Now we're at 3:30. There is no way I can make it to 3:30.
No way.
I'm in bed at 9.
That's six and a half hours.
[00:45:00] Speaker B: Yeah. And after my Milwaukee adventure. There was no way I was going out late the next night, too. I was up until well past three o' clock in the morning Friday night in Milwaukee, celebrating the brewers victory, their World Championship.
[00:45:18] Speaker C: You were there?
[00:45:19] Speaker B: I was there, yeah. When I saw them won the World's win, when. When they won the World Series, I thought, you know what?
[00:45:24] Speaker C: You were there the night they won?
[00:45:25] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no. I was at home watching. And I happened to have Friday night off. And I've been wanting to get up to Milwaukee so badly since. Since last spring.
So I said, you know what? I'm getting an Amtrak and I'm finding a cheap hotel room and I'm going up to Milwaukee. So I did. I got up there. I didn't even know when the parade was
[00:45:41] Speaker C: solo.
[00:45:42] Speaker B: Well, it was originally solo. I contacted Borky. I said, do you want to come meet me up there? She said, yep, I'm going antiquing that day. I'll see you later.
She showed up in the evening. I got there around, like, 1 o', clock, 2 o', clock, 2:30, when it's time to go to the dentist.
[00:45:57] Speaker C: Huh?
[00:45:57] Speaker B: 2:30.
I got there around then, and unbeknownst to me, they had had the parade that morning.
I just wanted to go up and see the town that I like, you know, and just be there while they celebrated. I was gonna wear my Milwaukee Brewer's shirt and be there for a part of it.
[00:46:14] Speaker C: Just walk around,
[00:46:15] Speaker B: just walk around. Go to the spots that I enjoy the most, and which I did. Stopped by the Swinging Door Tavern, got the pork chop sandwich, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. I get it every time I'm there.
Visited. As a matter of fact, while I was having that pork chop sandwich, a kind old man next to me, we got into a conversation, and I told him I was a piano player. He said, you got to check out Carolyn's Jazz club.
I said, oh, really? That's one place I've never been.
So I did went there. I called them up and I said, do you have live jazz tonight? They said, actually, we've got live soul tonight. And I said, even better. I will be there. So I showed up. That was just around the time Borky had gotten there. And we both found ourselves a table by the stage.
The lead singer was going through the crowd, doing this, reaching out, putting the microphone in front of people's faces while she was singing songs and seeing if they could kind of sing along with her. Right.
[00:47:07] Speaker A: The dam did that as well.
[00:47:08] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[00:47:09] Speaker A: Yeah,
[00:47:09] Speaker B: I kind of like that move. So they started playing Flowers by Miley Cyrus, which we do in our dueling piano show.
And so, you know, we're sitting there at a table, and the. The. I. I just knew this was gonna happen. The lead singer's walking by and holds the microphone to Borky, and she always sings the song.
And so, of course, Borky knows every single word to it. So she starts singing, the place starts going nuts. She's on her feet. Before you know it, she's on stage with the band singing the song. The lead singer just now, she's just taking a seat in the audience watching.
Borky leans over, starts playing a couple notes on the piano, you know, and the place goes even crazier. I kind of look at the lead singer in the band, like, can I go up there and join? The piano player gets up and moves off stage, too. Borky sits down, she starts playing the bass register of the piano, and I start ripping solos all over the top. Now the play's just going bananas.
[00:47:59] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:47:59] Speaker B: Yep.
Ended up playing with the band for pretty much the rest of the set, which was their final set, turns out. Now I swapped phone numbers with the saxophone player, and he's going to come play at our show here at the Lincoln lodge on the 25th.
[00:48:14] Speaker C: Wow. Yeah.
What a thing. Maybe you'll get booked at this place,
[00:48:19] Speaker B: Carolyn's. Oh, yeah. That's what I would like to do. That's the goal.
[00:48:25] Speaker C: How about that, Mark?
[00:48:27] Speaker A: That's great.
[00:48:28] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:48:29] Speaker A: I always like to hear positive stories.
[00:48:32] Speaker C: What's that? What's that? A jive at me?
Seems like a jive at me. Positive stories.
[00:48:37] Speaker B: Stop that. Shaker's cigar bar. After, you can buy a cigar and sit in their antique furniture.
[00:48:43] Speaker A: Now you've let yourself down.
[00:48:44] Speaker B: Oh, God, I love it. That place is great.
[00:48:47] Speaker A: Cigars. Yeah.
[00:48:48] Speaker B: You know,
[00:48:49] Speaker A: expectation.
[00:48:50] Speaker B: Well, it depends who you are. I think you either like cigars or you don't.
Do you like?
I do.
[00:48:57] Speaker A: I do not like cigars.
[00:48:59] Speaker B: I enjoy a cigar.
Something about sitting there puffing that big plume of smoke.
[00:49:04] Speaker A: You two just can't wait to suck cancer into your lungs, can you?
[00:49:08] Speaker B: It's not like I can't wait to do it. I just wait for the right time.
[00:49:15] Speaker A: It might be the people I associate with cigars.
[00:49:18] Speaker B: And also, you don't suck cigars into your lungs,
[00:49:20] Speaker A: don't
[00:49:21] Speaker B: you? No, only into your mouth and you blow it
[00:49:23] Speaker A: up. What's the point? Then
[00:49:24] Speaker B: it. It does give you a little, like, a little high because you absorb the nicotine. Through your saliva, your salivary glands.
So you get a little headbuds.
[00:49:33] Speaker A: Why is it only people that be flash?
[00:49:37] Speaker B: Oh, I don't know. I think that might just be movies.
[00:49:41] Speaker A: I watched the Sopranos episode I was just thinking about. He gives him some Cuban and the guy's like, where'd you get these from?
[00:49:48] Speaker B: Yeah.
Is this your first time watching the Sopranos?
[00:49:52] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:49:53] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[00:49:53] Speaker C: You just started it.
[00:49:54] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:49:55] Speaker B: What do you think so far?
[00:49:56] Speaker A: Yeah, it's too bruising for me.
[00:49:58] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[00:49:58] Speaker A: No, it's not bruising. What about
[00:50:00] Speaker B: the comedy in it? It's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.
[00:50:05] Speaker A: The missus is loving it.
[00:50:07] Speaker B: So,
[00:50:08] Speaker A: right, so we have a box set of CSI and we have a box set of Sopranos on the gun.
If we're sitting there, it's like, okay, we got a kill an hour. What do we do?
[00:50:19] Speaker B: Yeah,
[00:50:19] Speaker A: I'm CSI all the way.
[00:50:21] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:50:23] Speaker A: She's really now going off towards the Sopranos route.
[00:50:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:50:29] Speaker A: And that's a weird departure because I'm the grit.
[00:50:33] Speaker B: Yeah, right.
[00:50:33] Speaker A: She's sunshine lollipops. I'm the grit.
And she's going, grit. Where?
[00:50:41] Speaker B: But it's. There's more to it
[00:50:42] Speaker C: has more grit than
[00:50:43] Speaker B: I was going to say. Yeah, right. Soprano's very. It's a very well rounded show. It offers a lot more than just the grip.
[00:50:49] Speaker C: A lot more. You've only made one episode.
[00:50:51] Speaker A: No, no, we're. We're. Whatever. That's like three quarters through the first series, I want to
[00:50:57] Speaker C: say.
[00:50:57] Speaker B: First season,
[00:50:58] Speaker A: it was called a hit. Is a hit.
Bo Keen Woodbines in it as a rap producer and they're hitting up Hesh for reparation, Musical reparations.
[00:51:08] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:51:09] Speaker A: And he says, go yourself. Keep going with it.
[00:51:11] Speaker B: It just. It gets better and better.
[00:51:13] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:51:15] Speaker B: Except for AJ towards the end. I can't stand any scene with AJ in
[00:51:18] Speaker C: it.
[00:51:19] Speaker A: But, you know,
[00:51:20] Speaker B: Weasel,
[00:51:21] Speaker A: the thing I can't buy in it is the young lad who wants to be the gangster.
[00:51:27] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, Christopher.
[00:51:30] Speaker A: No one's intimidated by him. He looks like he weighs less than me.
Now, I know being a hard man is all about attitude. It's
[00:51:39] Speaker C: not about weight.
[00:51:39] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not weight. It's like, you look in this. I always said this, right? My cousin is even shorter and spindlier than me. But you look him in the eyes, you know,
[00:51:51] Speaker B: don't mess with
[00:51:52] Speaker A: them. Don't mess
[00:51:53] Speaker C: like me.
[00:51:56] Speaker A: Nah. Because you're always half smiling.
[00:51:59] Speaker C: Yeah,
[00:51:59] Speaker A: you are. You're always half Smiling. Not
[00:52:01] Speaker C: today. I'm not
[00:52:04] Speaker A: my cousin. You look at him and you go, yeah, he's just going to keep going. I'd have to kill him.
[00:52:10] Speaker B: Yeah,
[00:52:12] Speaker C: that's me.
[00:52:13] Speaker A: That's not you.
You're a nihilist. But you're not a hard man.
[00:52:17] Speaker C: Yeah, my heart.
[00:52:18] Speaker A: What's the hardest thing you've ever done?
Did you ever walk down Manchester by the Sea, High street, dogging people up and then just lamp someone for no reason?
[00:52:31] Speaker C: There is a high street.
[00:52:33] Speaker A: There's a high street in every town.
Have you ever lamped someone for no other reason than you felt like? No, but. Well, you're not a home. When I
[00:52:40] Speaker C: was a youth, we used to go to McDonald's and then get extra hamburger for the ride home. And then we drive along the road and then when we see somebody walking on the road, they slow down the car and I'd lean out the window and I'd loosen up the hamburger and I throw it at him and it would split into three pieces and hit him in the chest with a hamburger.
[00:53:00] Speaker A: And then you drive away at 60 miles an hour and see them again.
[00:53:04] Speaker C: Yeah, and laugh hard.
[00:53:05] Speaker A: You're not a hard man.
[00:53:07] Speaker C: That's cold blooded.
[00:53:10] Speaker A: We know that. You've seen.
You've seen Sexy Beast. You agreed when I called it a tour de force.
[00:53:18] Speaker C: Yes,
[00:53:19] Speaker A: that is a hard man.
[00:53:21] Speaker C: Yeah, well, there's different levels.
[00:53:23] Speaker A: Do it

[00:54:05] Speaker C: Yeah. He's so small. He played Gandhi. He can't be hard, you know,

[00:55:05] Speaker A: Yeah. American kids. You know what, it's funny. American kids are way more respectful than English kids.
English kids are little gobshite Dickensian, King street gangs. When I come to America, kids will be like, oh, thank you, sir.

[00:55:40] Speaker C: What's that mean?
Act like the goat? Like the best.
[00:55:44] Speaker A: No, acting the goat means falling around, being an.

Both rooms, the microwave, and then I forgot this.
[00:56:14] Speaker B: Yeah, we'll just leave it till it changes back.
[00:56:19] Speaker A: Yeah? No, I can't do that.
Not someone who's a stickler for time like me. It has to be cock on.
[00:56:30] Speaker C: Cock on.
[00:56:30] Speaker B: Speaking of cock on.
[00:56:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:56:33] Speaker B: Let's get into.
What's her name? Bradley.
[00:56:37] Speaker C: Bradley Godleyman.
[00:56:38] Speaker B: Bradley Godleyman.
[00:56:39] Speaker A: Kerry Godliman.
[00:56:41] Speaker C: Carrie Godliman.
[00:56:43] Speaker A: Bandwidth.
[00:56:45] Speaker C: Yeah. Bandwidth.
Yeah. You chose her?
[00:56:48] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:56:49] Speaker B: What was the reason behind the selection?
[00:56:50] Speaker C: Besides she's British.
[00:56:52] Speaker A: She is in a lot of Ricky Gervais projects. She's very likable.
[00:56:58] Speaker C: Says who?
[00:56:59] Speaker A: Says me.
I was interested. Gotta be honest. There's a channel called 800 Pound Gorilla on YouTube and they're putting a lot of foreign stuff.
[00:57:10] Speaker C: What is that? 800 pound gorilla? Who's behind that?
[00:57:13] Speaker A: It's a record label of sorts.
[00:57:15] Speaker C: Who runs it?
[00:57:16] Speaker A: You know, I haven't looked into who runs it, but it's kind of like Dennis
[00:57:20] Speaker C: Miller, I think.
[00:57:21] Speaker A: No, what was the one?
A special thing was the hipster one.
Everyone wanted to record on a special funny
[00:57:30] Speaker C: or die.
[00:57:32] Speaker A: No, that's. That was just a website.
Anyway. 800 pound gorilla. They've. They got. They've got Pepper tone. They've got. Yeah, I bet they do have
[00:57:41] Speaker C: Pepper Tone because this is a female Joe Pepitone or whatever the. His name. Eddie Pepitone.
[00:57:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:57:47] Speaker C: It's freezing.
[00:57:47] Speaker B: Balls. Pepperton.
[00:57:48] Speaker A: That's because the ACs. Come on.
[00:57:50] Speaker C: Why? Oh, because it's warm up.
[00:57:52] Speaker A: Yeah, because it's warm in the voting booths.
[00:57:55] Speaker C: Why? How did this place become.
Did you offer it up as a voting.
[00:58:00] Speaker A: No, the. The alderman came to us.
[00:58:03] Speaker C: Who's the alderman here? Wagspack? No.
[00:58:07] Speaker A: La Sparta.
[00:58:08] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:58:09] Speaker C: LaShawn Ford.
[00:58:10] Speaker A: Le Sparta.
[00:58:11] Speaker C: I don't know Sparta. That's the full name. La Sparta.
[00:58:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:58:16] Speaker C: That's the first and last name.
[00:58:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:58:17] Speaker C: No,
[00:58:18] Speaker B: well, the middle name is sp.
[00:58:19] Speaker A: Yeah. La Espata.
Anyway, it came to us because I think they were in the. I think their polling station had bailed, like, two weeks before, a week before an election.
And I think, obviously they went to the alderman, said, we're in the here. And. And the alderman for whatever. Weird. Well, he's only down the street. Came to us and said, we're kind of in the crap. What about you guys? Are you up for it? And I said, yeah, go for it, because you got to keep the alderman sweet. Right? That's Chicago politics. But here's where the noodle comes in.
All of the people that are voting probably aren't aware of us because our marketing is abysmal right now.
[00:59:07] Speaker C: Who's in charge of marketing here? Seaman?
[00:59:09] Speaker A: No, all of us. It's a group,
[00:59:10] Speaker C: Chelsea. You just threw a couple people under the bus.
[00:59:13] Speaker A: This is before Kelsey.
[00:59:15] Speaker C: Okay?
[00:59:16] Speaker A: This is back in. I want to say 20. 20 ish. 21 maybe. So this is before most of the staff were even here.
And they said, we're in the crowd, blah, blah, blah. I said, yep, sure, I'll do it. Thinking, oh, this is a great way to get local people aware of us. Sure.
So that's how it came about. You
[00:59:37] Speaker C: throw a flyer at them when they come in?
[00:59:38] Speaker A: No, I try not to be that grody. They're there for the taking.
[00:59:43] Speaker C: Can you serve them a drink?
[00:59:44] Speaker A: No,
[00:59:45] Speaker C: they said, no serving drinks while these people aren't here with the guys
[00:59:47] Speaker A: waiting in
[00:59:48] Speaker C: line. Say, oh, give me a.
[00:59:49] Speaker A: Someone was seltzer. Someone was hard pressing me one time for a whiskey in the middle of the day.
[00:59:54] Speaker B: Really?
[00:59:55] Speaker A: Yeah. I was sat there and. And I'm like, I really can't. Like,
[01:00:00] Speaker B: yeah, you can't
[01:00:00] Speaker A: get people all
[01:00:01] Speaker B: tuned up before
[01:00:01] Speaker A: they
[01:00:02] Speaker B: vote.
[01:00:02] Speaker A: He's like, dude, is
[01:00:04] Speaker C: that against the law to drink in the voting? Boot in the
[01:00:07] Speaker B: voting. Maybe on the way out. That's all right, but I don't feel like you can't have somebody under the influence. You can't be. You can't be aiding there. Under the influence.
[01:00:15] Speaker A: I thought it might be like a.
A test.
[01:00:18] Speaker B: Oh, yeah,
[01:00:19] Speaker C: right. Yeah.
[01:00:20] Speaker B: Yeah. It's not worth the risk.
[01:00:21] Speaker C: So this isn't the first year you've had this.
[01:00:24] Speaker A: This is fourth year, maybe.
[01:00:26] Speaker C: Oh,
[01:00:27] Speaker B: I bet it was a test. There's, like.
There's a place right down the street. You can go to the Green. I get a whiskey if you really want. I don't know. Right.
[01:00:35] Speaker A: I
[01:00:35] Speaker B: don't know. When they
[01:00:35] Speaker A: open,
[01:00:36] Speaker C: anyone ever jump up on stage and just feel what it's like to be up there?
[01:00:40] Speaker B: Do an open mic during the next election.
[01:00:42] Speaker C: That's a good idea.
[01:00:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:00:44] Speaker C: Could you. Well, Sparta, let that go.
[01:00:46] Speaker A: No, the worst we have is some old coot wandering into the bar. You just saw that she
[01:00:53] Speaker B: had to move six things out of the way that say voting's over that way before she.
[01:00:56] Speaker A: She moved past two signs saying two stanchions that way.
[01:01:00] Speaker C: She went right through the. The wire.
[01:01:02] Speaker B: Yeah. She had to physically move, like, you know, we've got the. What do you call it? Like the rope with the poles, you know?
[01:01:07] Speaker C: Yeah, she moved.
[01:01:07] Speaker B: They have all the signs hanging on it. She had. She. She moved it and put it back to where it was.
[01:01:12] Speaker A: I think one year someone came to me and said the bathroom smell really bad. And someone had
[01:01:16] Speaker C: to get the. Out of here.
[01:01:17] Speaker A: Put an adult nappy into the.
[01:01:20] Speaker B: No.
[01:01:21] Speaker A: Yeah,
[01:01:22] Speaker B: Come on.
[01:01:22] Speaker C: Backed up. The toilet. No.
[01:01:24] Speaker A: Into the
[01:01:24] Speaker B: bin. The tampon.
[01:01:26] Speaker C: Oh,
[01:01:26] Speaker B: into
[01:01:27] Speaker A: the tampon.
You
[01:01:28] Speaker C: don't get us. You don't got to give them a bathroom.
[01:01:30] Speaker A: Yeah, you do. You got to give the. You got to have adequate facilities.
[01:01:34] Speaker C: You get anything for this besides get a couple bucks from La Sparta,
[01:01:38] Speaker A: you get 250. You do board at elections.
[01:01:41] Speaker C: 250 bucks.
[01:01:42] Speaker A: And that's for probably an hour of prep.
Someone here at 5:00am that
[01:01:49] Speaker C: was
[01:01:49] Speaker A: you, 8:00pm
[01:01:51] Speaker C: yeah, but you're not the. You're not working for the Board of Elections, are you? Are. You are. You're handing out the ballots and.
[01:01:56] Speaker A: No, no, I'm not working for him. The Board of Elections is who cuts you the check.
[01:02:00] Speaker C: Yeah, but who's the. Somebody else was here. Oh,
[01:02:02] Speaker A: yeah, all the volunteers.
[01:02:03] Speaker C: Yeah,
[01:02:04] Speaker A: but anyway, they.
They do all that crap. I mean, I'll do bits And Bobs. I'll put the.
For the flag out.
[01:02:12] Speaker C: Yeah, I saw the flag.
[01:02:15] Speaker A: Oh, man, they are hot on that flag. They want the flags out. Make sure the flags.
[01:02:19] Speaker C: Yeah,
[01:02:19] Speaker A: yeah, whatever.
[01:02:21] Speaker C: Should put a Don't tread on me flag out there.
I don't care about the election.
[01:02:28] Speaker B: No,
[01:02:28] Speaker C: no.
[01:02:28] Speaker B: Do you vote?
[01:02:29] Speaker C: I always do. But you know what? I don't think I'm gonna. I don't give a anymore.
[01:02:33] Speaker B: Oh, you haven't yet today.
[01:02:34] Speaker C: No.
[01:02:34] Speaker B: Oh, you're not gonna be able to join the next. They're not. Won't be able to. You'll. You'll be drafted at the next war now.
[01:02:43] Speaker A: Yeah. You'll lose your citizenship.
[01:02:45] Speaker C: Huh?
Why is that?
[01:02:47] Speaker B: No, they
[01:02:49] Speaker C: don't
[01:02:49] Speaker B: take it away.
[01:02:50] Speaker C: Yep.
[01:02:50] Speaker A: They
[01:02:50] Speaker B: said if you use it or lose it,
[01:02:52] Speaker C: somebody's probably already using my information to vote anyway, so.
You
[01:02:56] Speaker B: know, one time
[01:02:57] Speaker A: election denier over it.
[01:02:58] Speaker B: I did lose a passport one time like 15. 15 years ago. Never found it. I have no idea what happened to it. Never reported it or anything. Somebody out there might be me.
[01:03:06] Speaker C: Oh, you're serious.
[01:03:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:03:07] Speaker C: Thought you're goofing on him with the lost passport. No,
[01:03:09] Speaker B: it was during a very irresponsible period of my life when I was. I. I lost my actual ID and I was using my passport to go to bars and I lost it at some bar at 4.
[01:03:18] Speaker C: They don't ask for ID when you vote.
[01:03:22] Speaker B: I. I didn't say I. No, you're. Oh,
[01:03:24] Speaker C: you're saying somebody created an identity.
[01:03:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:03:26] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:03:29] Speaker A: Tell you has got a good strong identity.
[01:03:31] Speaker B: Who?
[01:03:32] Speaker A: Carrie Godliman.
[01:03:33] Speaker B: Yes. I would like to know more about it.
[01:03:36] Speaker C: She looks like a Katie Kirk. Kind of
[01:03:39] Speaker B: Katie Couric. You think so?
[01:03:41] Speaker C: Looking like Katie Couric.
[01:03:42] Speaker B: Like a looser Katie Couric.
[01:03:43] Speaker C: What do you mean looser?
[01:03:44] Speaker B: Katie Couric's very
[01:03:45] Speaker C: looser skin.
[01:03:46] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:03:47] Speaker C: Yeah. Like if Katie Couric grew up next to a power plant.
Nuclear,
[01:03:55] Speaker A: you know. Well, I know you would never say this on air, but Kerry Godliman to me is kind of the hot middle age look.
[01:04:03] Speaker C: Yeah. So I had this written down. Gary, did you find her attractive? That answers that question. Yes.
Giri hot for Carrie Godliman. Yes.
[01:04:17] Speaker A: Okay,
[01:04:17] Speaker C: I knew she was right up your alley. That's why you chose her. You probably have a weekly wank.
[01:04:22] Speaker A: No, I've never had a wank tour.
[01:04:24] Speaker C: No. That's interesting,
[01:04:29] Speaker A: but I'm at that age, so anyway.
[01:04:31] Speaker C: Well, I did write this down and I'm not going to say that I'm attracted to her. But she's very middle aged and I am very attracted to middle age.
[01:04:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:04:41] Speaker C: You know that's my age.
Not that's my age. But that's even when I was a young boy, I wanted to be with middle age.
[01:04:49] Speaker B: It's in your wheelhouse for attraction.
[01:04:52] Speaker C: It's always been in my wheelhouse for attraction. Since I was a young boy I wanted to be with 40, 50 year old women.
Not 30, not 20. 45. 50. 55.
[01:05:03] Speaker B: Why do you think that
[01:05:03] Speaker C: is? That's the age I like. Well,
[01:05:05] Speaker B: what is it that does it for you?
[01:05:08] Speaker C: I don't know.
[01:05:09] Speaker B: Yeah. What started that?
[01:05:10] Speaker C: I can't.
[01:05:11] Speaker B: You want to get into that?
[01:05:12] Speaker C: No. Yeah. It's too revealing.
[01:05:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:05:15] Speaker C: But I've always loved middle aged and now I am middle aged. And really these are the greatest sexual years of my life.
Because I'm able to perform very well at this age. Right. Because I've been around the block a lot and I have good stamina and I'm with a middle aged woman.
It's really the perfect sexual time for me.
[01:05:39] Speaker B: Did you find Carrie Boulderman attractive?
[01:05:43] Speaker C: I did not.
I did not.
But her age is attractive.
[01:05:49] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:05:51] Speaker C: How old is she?
[01:05:52] Speaker A: 52.
[01:05:53] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right. In that wheelhouse. It's that age. Perimenopausal as she talks about or like a menopausal woman.
I don't know. Why? Something about the hormones of them.
[01:06:05] Speaker A: Do you remember that the woman makes the men all pause. And if you got a woman, she might make you forget yours. Name that song.
[01:06:13] Speaker B: I don't know.
[01:06:14] Speaker A: She watched Channel Zero by.
By Public Enemy.
[01:06:18] Speaker C: Oh, that was. They were talking about menopause.
[01:06:22] Speaker A: It always just made me. The woman makes the men all pause. Yeah. And I was like,
[01:06:26] Speaker C: that's not about.
[01:06:27] Speaker A: That's got to be about. But why would you make that line, the woman makes the men all pause? Well,
[01:06:32] Speaker C: I don't know, but I. I always think about that word menopause. Men pause, right. Like it's a time for men have to pause.
[01:06:39] Speaker A: Having sex
[01:06:39] Speaker C: with
[01:06:39] Speaker A: the women. What's the deal with that?
[01:06:42] Speaker C: That's your Seinfeld.
[01:06:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:06:44] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:06:45] Speaker A: Why is it menstruation ladies? It should be women ladies.
[01:06:50] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Does he do that bit or you're just saying
[01:06:53] Speaker A: I did that bit.
[01:06:54] Speaker C: You did.
[01:06:54] Speaker A: Yeah. That's what made my first million.
[01:06:56] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:06:57] Speaker A: It's just me saying men words and then
[01:07:00] Speaker B: ladies.
[01:07:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Then what's the deal with that?
[01:07:03] Speaker C: So you think this Carrie Godliman's a good comic?
[01:07:06] Speaker A: His let me give you my tin pot Two minute assessment.
Seven, Six or seven minutes in. I'm hating it. I'm like, this is terrible.
[01:07:17] Speaker C: Why
[01:07:17] Speaker A: terrible? It's shouty. It's.
[01:07:20] Speaker C: Yes.
[01:07:20] Speaker A: A lot of stuff I hate. I'm like, why?
I'm not going to pick things just to annoy Bill anymore.
Annoying myself.
[01:07:28] Speaker C: Yes.
[01:07:30] Speaker A: By the end of it, I'm like, no, this is great. She's dropping amazing lines. I'm still annoyed by the Persona.
[01:07:41] Speaker C: Yes.
[01:07:41] Speaker A: I have never.
Oh, man. If I wish I directed this.
If I did directed this. Have you ever
[01:07:50] Speaker C: directed a comedy special?
[01:07:51] Speaker A: No. You know what? I've never been asked. And I am very resentful of that fact because I am the avatar. I'm the harbinger. I am. I know what for 20 years.
So if you're a comedian out there and did a special and you didn't ask me to direct it, know that I harbor a grudge.
[01:08:09] Speaker C: So, like, you lay in bed at night and you're like, I wish Hannibal would call and ask me to direct a special because I'm
[01:08:16] Speaker A: small.
[01:08:17] Speaker C: Yeah. Who. So who's someone who's.
This is your opportunity to put it out there. Why is this going limp on me?
[01:08:23] Speaker A: That's what she said.
[01:08:24] Speaker C: Yeah.
Who's a young comic out there that. Who, who, who do you like to direct their special? It's on the rise.
[01:08:31] Speaker A: It's not a question of, like,
[01:08:32] Speaker C: don't be shy. Put it out there. Maybe they'll bite on it.
[01:08:35] Speaker A: No, I could direct. Anyone
[01:08:37] Speaker B: does for the. That's what she said.
[01:08:40] Speaker A: I could direct.
As long as they're not absolutely shite.
Gotta have something workable.
Now, I can't really say I.
90% of Chicago comedians that are good and not shite, I could direct their special.
It would launch them.
[01:09:03] Speaker C: Really.
[01:09:04] Speaker A: Now, if I'd have directed Kerry Godelman, I'd have said, stop screaming everything three times.
[01:09:09] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:09:13] Speaker A: If you can polish this up, this will be a masterpiece.
[01:09:18] Speaker C: If she could just tone it down.
[01:09:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:09:20] Speaker C: A thousand.
[01:09:21] Speaker A: Don't need to screech everything three times. You don't need to go too hard on the mental stuff. You've gone too far.
Yes. You need to kind of do the act out and stuff.
This could have been a masterpiece.
It's. I. The
[01:09:38] Speaker C: writing is good.
[01:09:40] Speaker A: I'll give
[01:09:41] Speaker C: you that.
The writing is good. But what I wrote here was.
I don't mind what she's saying as much as how she's saying it. I don't hate her comedy as much as I hate her.
She makes you hate her.
[01:09:59] Speaker A: Well, I like.
I Like the fact that she swears relentlessly because obviously that's what I do.
The London accent, a little bit annoying, but she's not leaning into it.
[01:10:13] Speaker C: Yeah, she sounds like Keely from Ted Lasso.
[01:10:17] Speaker B: I had a lot of difficulty understanding her.
[01:10:18] Speaker C: Yeah, I did too. Well, it's because of the shouting. It's hard enough to understand the British.
British accent, but when you're shouting it, it's very difficult for the Americans.
[01:10:28] Speaker B: I'll tell you what,
[01:10:29] Speaker C: understand what she's saying.
[01:10:30] Speaker B: I considered putting the closed captioning on, as I've done in the past, and I decided against it because I wanted to have the experience of actually seeing her live. You don't have that in that luxury when you see somebody live.
[01:10:39] Speaker C: And
[01:10:39] Speaker B: I wanted that. I wanted to know, well, what if I was in the room
[01:10:42] Speaker C: here? Understand?
And you got that experience not understanding it.
[01:10:46] Speaker A: Like you're borrowing Americanism.
She starts off walking the patters and ends throwing 100 mile an hour fastball straight down the plate for. For strikeouts.
That's how this special is. What about the. I failed the robot test four times in a week.
[01:11:04] Speaker B: What's the robot test?
[01:11:05] Speaker C: Yeah, that was good, I guess,
[01:11:06] Speaker A: where you click on
[01:11:07] Speaker C: the capture thing where you.
[01:11:09] Speaker A: Yeah,
[01:11:09] Speaker C: the buses or the. Is
[01:11:11] Speaker A: it a bus or a motorbike? She's like, it's a motorbike.
[01:11:15] Speaker B: Right. Okay.
[01:11:17] Speaker A: What. What other classics were. There were. No, I can't even char. I can't even decide on a font, let alone a tattoo.
If you had tat. If I had tattoos when I was with them, It'd be like 20 Silk Cut spud you like. Blah, blah, blah, Great British references.
[01:11:33] Speaker B: That's the other thing too. I couldn't understand a lot of references, but I was. I mean, I kind of.
[01:11:36] Speaker A: You can.
[01:11:37] Speaker B: Yeah,
[01:11:37] Speaker A: right,
[01:11:37] Speaker B: exactly. But I did think she had a really good point when she was Talking to that 19 year old about her tattoos. And she was like, but what if that person that you like right now gets canceled? I never thought about that before. Then you're walking around that tattoo or you have to get it replaced.
[01:11:47] Speaker A: Yeah, the people have started giving. Doing voice notes.
I hate voice notes. I even said that. Like Kerry Godelman. I hate. I hate,
[01:12:01] Speaker B: hate, hate. Voice notes, voice notes, voice notes. Bly hell,
[01:12:04] Speaker C: Bly hell. I hate him.
What?
[01:12:09] Speaker A: I bet you do. From the youth.
[01:12:11] Speaker C: Oh,
[01:12:12] Speaker A: it's where some
[01:12:13] Speaker C: daughter does Sons of.
[01:12:14] Speaker A: It's where they record and then they send you the record
[01:12:17] Speaker C: rather than typing it
[01:12:18] Speaker B: out,
[01:12:18] Speaker A: rather than texting or calling.
They are infuriating. And I'm. Finally, I'm.
[01:12:24] Speaker C: You don't get many of those who would send you a voice note. Dave, Angela.
[01:12:28] Speaker A: Yeah, there's several people who do it. And I detest everyone.
[01:12:32] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:12:33] Speaker A: And why? She's
[01:12:34] Speaker C: lazy.
[01:12:35] Speaker A: Was it like six fucking minutes? Why didn't you just send me bullet points?
[01:12:39] Speaker C: Yeah, her writing's not bad. It's her personality that really.
[01:12:43] Speaker A: Her daughter jump scaring her for tick tock.
[01:12:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:12:46] Speaker A: You must have loved that.
[01:12:47] Speaker C: I didn't get that. What do you mean? Your boys
[01:12:49] Speaker B: do
[01:12:49] Speaker C: that, like jumping.
[01:12:49] Speaker B: You ever seen this? It's a trend where, like, they'll scare the shit out of their.
[01:12:53] Speaker A: Yeah,
[01:12:54] Speaker C: I guess they do.
[01:12:55] Speaker A: I would. You know, I was watching this, I was thinking, I hope Bill's Mrs. Watched this.
[01:13:01] Speaker C: She didn't.
[01:13:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:13:03] Speaker C: You know when I watched this,
[01:13:04] Speaker B: when
[01:13:05] Speaker C: I started to watch it this morning, as I was doing my toilet, doing my ablutions, like I was at the sink and I had it going there and then I could only get through like 10 minutes of it. And then, then I was in the car later on in the day, sitting in a parked car, watching it from the dashboard
[01:13:28] Speaker B: and
[01:13:29] Speaker C: I fell asleep for like 10 minutes. Like, that's like she's shouting at me.
[01:13:34] Speaker A: How did you fall asleep?
[01:13:36] Speaker C: Sleep apnea. And then I woke up and I sat there and this is what I. While I watched it, this is how I looked at it. Like this.
My face never came off of that.
[01:13:48] Speaker B: Yeah.
She reminded me of a lot of my mom's friends. So I was kind of watching it. Like, I've seen.
Told
[01:13:55] Speaker C: you I've
[01:13:56] Speaker B: seen this character.
[01:13:57] Speaker C: Mom,
[01:13:57] Speaker B: she's dead.
[01:13:58] Speaker C: Oh.
Oh, that's awkward.
[01:14:00] Speaker B: But she had friends when she was alive. And this woman reminds me of those people.
[01:14:06] Speaker C: But this woman's 52.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, she's very momish.
[01:14:17] Speaker A: There's some great ones. I love the afterlife reference, which if you didn't watch it, you wouldn't have got it. Where she's like, I'm not dead, despite what I was in. She played. In Afterlife. She played Ricky Gervais's dead.
[01:14:30] Speaker B: Oh, right. Yeah.
[01:14:32] Speaker A: Wife who would. Who had recorded messages to him, which he would watch.
[01:14:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:14:38] Speaker A: To try and feel.
[01:14:40] Speaker C: She played his dead wife.
[01:14:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:14:42] Speaker C: And she left him messages to look at after he died. Oh, what was that show?
[01:14:45] Speaker A: Afterlife.
[01:14:46] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[01:14:47] Speaker B: I really
[01:14:48] Speaker A: like. You never saw her live. It was just her recording messages.
Awesome callback. Okay.
[01:14:54] Speaker C: My mother's dead as
[01:14:55] Speaker B: well. Okay.
Speaking of callbacks, I did really enjoy how she kind of wrapped the thing up with the. With the purse callback from all the way from the beginning. And I liked the message that she had of she didn't care what was in the purse anymore.
[01:15:07] Speaker A: Yeah,
[01:15:08] Speaker B: but that's not what I was gonna say. Anyway, what I did. One thing I really did enjoy was her story about her kids needing a lift somewhere. And she's wearing Crocs.
[01:15:16] Speaker C: She
[01:15:16] Speaker B: was out wearing the Crocs and remembers that she has to get milk. And she goes to get the milk in a brightly lit grocery store, and then she runs into somebody she knows. And the shame, because I'm somebody that if I back. Well, if I order delivery and like, let's say you're just, like, in your sweats, you know, and you just like, I'll order a pizza when the delivery person gets there. Like, I'll change into, like, full jeans. Like, comb my hair and everything as I'm waiting for the pizza. Because I won't even answer the door looking that way.
So the torture. You won't? No, I won't.
[01:15:44] Speaker C: Why? Because you're embarrassed how disheveled you
[01:15:48] Speaker B: like to present yourself? It's not about embarrassment. I just have a. I like to present myself a certain way, regardless of the fact that I have paint on my pants right now. But that's because I'm at work.
[01:15:57] Speaker C: Yes,
[01:15:59] Speaker B: but, yeah, I'll do that. And so, like, under. I understood very much her.
Her shame that she felt, even though I don't. I wouldn't say I feel shame. I just. I don't want to look that way in public, whether. Even if it's at my door.
[01:16:11] Speaker C: Him and I are the opposite. He looks like a bag of shit warmed over over here. And so do I.
[01:16:15] Speaker B: Warmed over?
[01:16:16] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:16:17] Speaker B: Oh,
[01:16:17] Speaker A: I always say, six sacks of shit tied up with string.
[01:16:20] Speaker C: Okay, okay, that's what I meant.
[01:16:22] Speaker A: It's very alliterative.
[01:16:23] Speaker C: But you don't care when you go out, you know, you look like a bag of shit.
[01:16:26] Speaker A: There was a point where I did care. I was talking about this the other day. There was a point where I very much cared about my appearance.
[01:16:33] Speaker C: When.
Not since I knew you,
[01:16:36] Speaker A: probably. Yeah, probably.
Stand up. Comedy. No, I did care about my appearance when I was doing comedy.
[01:16:42] Speaker B: You know why? It's because I'm already doing something. Lazy enough to not go get my own damn pizza that I can't look like. Because I'm just. I have to look like I just walked in from work or something.
[01:16:51] Speaker C: We
[01:16:52] Speaker B: know.
[01:16:52] Speaker C: It's a weird thing.
[01:16:53] Speaker A: Like,
[01:16:53] Speaker B: I like. I can't look like I like, I have the Availability. I'm just laying here doing nothing. And I asked you to drive over to my house with a pizza.
[01:17:02] Speaker C: You're embarrassed by that?
[01:17:03] Speaker B: Maybe I am embarrassed.
[01:17:04] Speaker C: Not by
[01:17:05] Speaker A: your appearance, by
[01:17:06] Speaker C: the fact that you're.
[01:17:06] Speaker B: Right.
[01:17:07] Speaker C: Ordering food. Yeah, right. Yeah. I
[01:17:09] Speaker B: haven't ordered food in years now. But because of that. Because finally I was like, why am I even doing this to begin with?
[01:17:13] Speaker C: Right.
[01:17:13] Speaker B: Get off your couch. Yeah, right.
[01:17:18] Speaker A: I tell you what, this. This woman, Kerry Godelman, nailed me. Post apocalyptic drama. That's a
[01:17:26] Speaker C: Freudian slip.
[01:17:27] Speaker A: Post apocalyptic dramas. I love them.
Nature docs. So miserable. Yeah, I've stopped watching nature docs because they spend the last five minutes basically saying this planet's dead and we're screwed and it's too depressing.
[01:17:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:17:43] Speaker A: Voice notes. We talked about sat navs.
How she used the sat nav to get to her
[01:17:49] Speaker C: sat nav. Yeah.
[01:17:51] Speaker A: How she used the sat nav to get to her in Uncle Barry's. Yeah,
[01:17:55] Speaker B: I don't think I got that one. I didn't understand it. What is that?
[01:17:58] Speaker C: Sat nav is GPS and.
[01:18:01] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[01:18:02] Speaker C: There's a lot of British parlance.
[01:18:04] Speaker A: Yeah,
[01:18:04] Speaker B: that one went over my head.
[01:18:05] Speaker C: Here's one thing that drives me crazy about her and some other communities do it. I don't. Don't reference these generations. Don't reference your. Don't say I'm Gen X. Gen X is Gen Z's. Don't, don't. Don't label the generations. Them. Don't. Gen Z, Gen X. Millennials. First of all, I don't even understand it. Right. I don't understand who's who, but don't, don't. Nobody wants to hear you label the generation. I
[01:18:32] Speaker B: don't even know which one I am. Do you?
[01:18:33] Speaker C: I'm Gen X.
Like her.
She is my exact age, almost. What am I? 51. She's 52. When was this made?
[01:18:41] Speaker A: No, it's. She's 51/52 on Wikipedia. So she could be your age. This was made this year.
[01:18:49] Speaker C: Oh,
[01:18:49] Speaker A: last year
[01:18:49] Speaker B: in London, right?
[01:18:50] Speaker A: It was. Yeah, it was at the Comedy Store.
[01:18:52] Speaker B: There's a Comedy Store? There's a
[01:18:53] Speaker C: Comedy Store. Mitzi Shore's Comed Many store.
[01:18:55] Speaker A: No, it's just a different one. It's been there.
[01:18:58] Speaker B: Just with the same title.
[01:18:59] Speaker A: Yeah, it's just been there 35 years.
[01:19:02] Speaker C: I
[01:19:02] Speaker A: love the glittery curtains.
[01:19:04] Speaker C: You do? Yeah. You like
[01:19:05] Speaker A: that? Did I tell you when I had, like, a miserable, like, working class upbringing, we would go to the working men's club and they had glittery curtains and that was our one little bit of glamour.
[01:19:17] Speaker C: Yeah. At the. At the Working Man's Club. What's that mean?
[01:19:22] Speaker B: Club? Women that work.
[01:19:23] Speaker C: Working Man's club. Like a men's club?
[01:19:25] Speaker A: No, no, it's. It's kind of a throwback. Like in England, in any given town, you might have the Conservative Club, the Working Men's Club, the Liberal Club, and people of a political affiliation will go to that. So the Conservative clubs. Very snooty. What
[01:19:43] Speaker C: are those? Are the Whigs. The Tories.
[01:19:45] Speaker A: No one's got wigs.
[01:19:46] Speaker C: No, there's the Whigs and the Tories.
[01:19:48] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:19:49] Speaker C: And then the. The Labor.
[01:19:50] Speaker A: So the working men's clothes. Labor. Yeah. It's the factory.
[01:19:53] Speaker C: Who are the Whigs?
[01:19:55] Speaker A: The Whigs were Liberals
[01:19:57] Speaker C: and the Tories are the Conservatives.
[01:19:59] Speaker A: Yeah. So Liberals, Centre party. Labor is left. Conservative. Tories are right.
[01:20:05] Speaker C: There's three parties.
[01:20:07] Speaker A: Yeah,
[01:20:07] Speaker C: yeah. Oh, I'm asking. I don't know.
[01:20:09] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:20:10] Speaker B: I'm gonna start to get out of here.
[01:20:12] Speaker C: Okay. Well,
[01:20:13] Speaker A: what's the writing system?
[01:20:15] Speaker C: You're
[01:20:16] Speaker A: gonna come up with that?
[01:20:17] Speaker C: Knickers. How many knickers? What's a quid?
[01:20:19] Speaker B: It's a
[01:20:20] Speaker A: dollar. Right.
[01:20:20] Speaker C: It's one pound. Is a quid.
[01:20:22] Speaker A: About a dollar? 40.
[01:20:24] Speaker C: What's a pence?
[01:20:26] Speaker A: One pence,
[01:20:27] Speaker C: one penny.
And what are knickers?
[01:20:31] Speaker A: Knickers and knickers.
[01:20:32] Speaker C: The knickers can also be referred to as trousers. Is right, yes.
[01:20:35] Speaker A: No,
[01:20:36] Speaker C: they. They're underpant.
[01:20:38] Speaker A: They're pants.
A woman's pants.
[01:20:41] Speaker C: Pants. Not underpants.
[01:20:43] Speaker A: Underpants.
[01:20:44] Speaker C: A woman's underpants is a knicker.
[01:20:46] Speaker A: Knickers.
[01:20:48] Speaker C: Not pants.
[01:20:50] Speaker A: Trousers.
[01:20:51] Speaker C: Trousers.
So a woman's pants, the pants she was wearing in the special, those are knickers.
[01:20:56] Speaker A: No, they're trousers.
[01:20:57] Speaker B: Underneath them are knickers.
[01:20:58] Speaker A: Yeah, knickers are on underneath the trousers.
[01:21:04] Speaker C: I needed to know that.
[01:21:07] Speaker A: You didn't guess it from the bit
[01:21:08] Speaker C: I did. I knew it. Also,
[01:21:11] Speaker A: I really wish you'll miss this.
[01:21:13] Speaker C: Why?
[01:21:13] Speaker A: I bet she'd have been laughing ahead.
[01:21:15] Speaker C: You know what? I did write down one of the first things I wrote down this gal, until she started screaming the entire time.
Comes off as a British Leanne Morgan.
[01:21:23] Speaker B: Yes. Her
[01:21:24] Speaker C: body.
[01:21:25] Speaker A: Insulting.
[01:21:26] Speaker C: No, it's not her body.
Her age, her material. The only difference is Leanne Morgan let the room breathe and, you know, spoke at a normal decibel
[01:21:37] Speaker A: and had no funny material.
[01:21:39] Speaker C: I disagree. And then this woman just shouted 100 times over, you know, indecipherably.
[01:21:47] Speaker B: I was going to say, how many shouts, how many screams?
[01:21:49] Speaker C: How many Knickers.
[01:21:50] Speaker A: Do you know what the best line was? Was she. She talked about feeling, like, ghastly because she drank, and she says, I feel like one of those people who stands outside a hospital smoking a fag in there in the pajamas. Yeah. And it just. Like, that is such a wildly perfect, specific
[01:22:12] Speaker B: reference.
[01:22:13] Speaker A: That
[01:22:13] Speaker B: stood out to me, too. I pictured it for, like, the whole next bit.
[01:22:17] Speaker C: You really are gushing over this gal. Now. You wanted for my wife to watch this. Did your missus watch this? Would she like this?
[01:22:26] Speaker A: She'd probably find it too shouty.
[01:22:32] Speaker C: Yeah.
Yeah. Wow. She probably. You probably watched it alone in the bedroom. So you don't want her to see how much you love this woman. Like,
[01:22:41] Speaker A: I watched most of it at home, and then I watched the final two thirds in
[01:22:45] Speaker C: here today.
[01:22:46] Speaker A: It's in here. Yeah.
[01:22:47] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, me too. I bet. I was in the car sawing off.
[01:22:57] Speaker A: So many great lines.
So many.
[01:23:00] Speaker C: Not really.
[01:23:01] Speaker A: All right, how many knickers?
[01:23:06] Speaker C: I'm gonna give her one
[01:23:10] Speaker B: out of five.
[01:23:11] Speaker A: One
[01:23:12] Speaker C: nicker. Five.
[01:23:13] Speaker A: I think there's. I think there's more at play in this rating than the actual rating. Oh. I'm just saying, Christian.
[01:23:19] Speaker B: Yeah. This is. You know, I.
I know I say this a lot, but this really fits it.
I can see why. I can see why. I understand it. I get why that she might be liked and why.
I can see the talent that's under there.
Not my brand. Didn't like the delivery, so I'm going straight down the middle of it. 2.5. 2.5 knickers. And the. The. The 0.5 is the bottom half of the knickers.
[01:23:50] Speaker A: All right. The gusset,
[01:23:52] Speaker B: the gusset.
[01:23:53] Speaker C: The what? The corset, the gus. What's that?
[01:23:56] Speaker B: Like when they tuck them up? You know,
[01:23:58] Speaker C: the snaps. What Gusset. What's a gusset?
[01:24:01] Speaker A: Gusset's the business part of the knickers.
[01:24:04] Speaker B: Oh, it's. I'm past my bed.
[01:24:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
I'm gonna give it. I've really been on the fence three or four. Three or four.
I'm gonna go four.
Because I like the fact that she won me over, and that takes skill.
[01:24:17] Speaker B: It does take skill.
[01:24:19] Speaker A: I might be too generous, but fuck it,
[01:24:21] Speaker C: it's too generous.
[01:24:22] Speaker B: There we have it now for next week. Yeah.
[01:24:26] Speaker C: What time do you
[01:24:27] Speaker A: think they're going to be in next week? Or are we. Is this it?
