[00:00:08] Speaker A: Do you have a particular pen that you like?
[00:00:09] Speaker B: Yes, it is the.
The pilot G2.
One millimeter. The full millimeter. I don't even go for 0.7.
[00:00:21] Speaker A: You go for a full me. That's thick.
[00:00:23] Speaker B: It is.
[00:00:23] Speaker A: I'm a 0.5.
[00:00:24] Speaker B: Looks like you're writing with a quill.
[00:00:27] Speaker A: Let me see that. I want to.
Want to experience that when you're done. I use a 0.5 pigment.
Not to me, but. Yeah, you know, point five is perfect for me. Pigment liner. Yeah, he's a pigment liner.
[00:00:41] Speaker B: Pigment liner. Liner.
[00:00:44] Speaker A: Let you try mine out afterwards.
[00:00:45] Speaker B: I've tried them.
[00:00:46] Speaker A: Oh, you have?
[00:00:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I've tried all of them.
[00:00:50] Speaker A: I was using the Ralph Nader pen for a while. The.
The. The flare. The Papermate flare felt tip.
[00:00:58] Speaker B: It's very.
[00:00:58] Speaker A: Yeah, he swears by it. I like it.
[00:01:01] Speaker B: It's not bad.
[00:01:01] Speaker A: It's too thick, though, for me.
[00:01:02] Speaker B: Yeah, that was. That was more of a late middle school thing for me.
[00:01:05] Speaker A: Yeah, the flare before. Yeah.
[00:01:07] Speaker B: Grew up.
[00:01:09] Speaker A: I feel like a man should have a pen, you know, that he.
[00:01:12] Speaker B: I always have one right here in my pocket. Clip to the. Like right by the fifth pocket of my jeans. And if I don't have it, if I forget it at home, you know, how does that work if you don't have your watch? It makes you feel naked. I feel like I don't have. I reach into my pocket.
[00:01:27] Speaker A: I don't feel the pen.
[00:01:28] Speaker B: Right.
[00:01:29] Speaker A: How do you keep your pen right there?
[00:01:30] Speaker B: Clip right here.
[00:01:31] Speaker A: Clip clips right there.
[00:01:33] Speaker B: Yep. Anytime I need. And it's a. It's a click pen. So you just clip, click, and go.
[00:01:37] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Does it ever jab you in the thigh? I feel like it would in that position. Right in the pocket. It would jab you in the thigh.
[00:01:44] Speaker B: No, it just kind of. Because it just kind of lies laterally along whatever this muscle. Your thigh muscle, you know?
[00:01:52] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if it turned.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: But it won't jab you in the clip. It's clipped in place.
[00:01:57] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: Yeah. And my thigh muscles are so rock solid.
[00:02:01] Speaker A: Yeah. It's just gonna push me right out of the way.
[00:02:03] Speaker B: It doesn't even matter.
[00:02:04] Speaker A: You can bounce off them.
[00:02:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Come at me with a sword and I wouldn't even notice.

[00:04:13] Speaker A: No, that. Well, that's John Hinckley, who murdered John Lennon. Always had a Catcher in the Rye. Mel Gibson had a Catcher in the Rye.
[00:04:21] Speaker C: There was a conspiracy film.
[00:04:23] Speaker A: Oh, Conspiracy Theory. It was called Conspiracy.
[00:04:25] Speaker C: Didn't you always have a copy of.
[00:04:26] Speaker B: Maybe.
[00:04:27] Speaker A: I don't remember the details of that piece of shite film, but it was good. It was.
He was right, wasn't he? Like, he seemed crazy, but he ended up being right.
[00:04:36] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. He.
He meets some woman, and she's like, wow, this guy's A whack job. And it's like. No, they are watching him. Yeah.
[00:04:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:04:45] Speaker C: Anywho. Come on, we gotta know.
[00:04:47] Speaker A: Yeah, he doesn't. He doesn't want to go long anymore. He wants to keep it under 40 minutes. Where are we at right now?
[00:04:51] Speaker B: Nice and tight. We are at 6 minutes and 47 seconds. Okay, we're at.
[00:04:57] Speaker A: No, I like that.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: 0.0.
[00:05:00] Speaker A: We are. We haven't put any. That's. None of that was on tape.
[00:05:02] Speaker B: Well, it all is, but he's gonna delete it.
[00:05:04] Speaker A: No, you're not gonna delete it.
[00:05:05] Speaker C: Where do I start? I hacked 10 minutes out of the last one.
[00:05:08] Speaker B: You did?
[00:05:09] Speaker C: Mostly me, though. So you'll be glad.
[00:05:11] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I'd like to get into the editing room with you on the next one, see how you do it.
[00:05:16] Speaker C: Blabbering shite. No, normally I don't cut anything out. Unless you've said something. Including misogynist.
[00:05:22] Speaker A: No, I've never said that. Anything misogynist. I just don't like to personally attack people.
[00:05:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:05:28] Speaker A: Feel bad afterwards.
[00:05:29] Speaker C: No, I never cut anything out. But there was. That last one was horrendous.
[00:05:33] Speaker A: It was.
[00:05:33] Speaker C: It was.
[00:05:34] Speaker A: Wasn't good.
[00:05:36] Speaker C: Just lengthwise. Oh, my God.
[00:05:38] Speaker A: Yeah.
It was long form journalism.
[00:05:41] Speaker B: We were feeling that. We were feeling chatty.
[00:05:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:05:44] Speaker A: Yeah. All right, well, let's. Let's.
[00:05:45] Speaker C: What are we doing first? Kinnison or the other one?
[00:05:49] Speaker A: We do Kinison first. So are we not allowed to.
We allowed any treacle in here anymore? We just go right to it. I liked Sam Kinison's act. I thought he did a nice job with the setups and punchlines.
[00:06:03] Speaker C: I think we just have to be more cognizant when he. When Christian puts the 10 minutes up and be like, you know, we've got some gravity.
[00:06:10] Speaker A: He doesn't do that anymore. He's asleep at the controls over there.
[00:06:13] Speaker B: Not even.
[00:06:14] Speaker A: He's too involved now. See, See, now that he's. He's the. The third ring of the Three Ring Circus.
[00:06:19] Speaker B: I still do it. It's just. I do it when I feel like we're starting to drag on a little bit.
[00:06:23] Speaker A: Yeah, okay.
[00:06:24] Speaker B: That's your way of saying, hey, yeah. Come on, guys.
[00:06:26] Speaker A: Diarrhea the mouth.
[00:06:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
All right, well, I'll leave all this shite in. That's been like 10 minutes, right?
[00:06:33] Speaker B: No, no, but this has been the worst.
[00:06:35] Speaker A: What?
[00:06:36] Speaker B: Except for me talking about my thighs.
[00:06:37] Speaker A: Yeah, leave that in.
[00:06:39] Speaker B: That was. Leave that quality content.
[00:06:42] Speaker A: Hey. No, I wanted to know when the holiday party was for the Lincoln Lodge and Whether I'll be invited.
[00:06:48] Speaker B: I'll let Mark take that.
[00:06:50] Speaker A: Oh, I'm not being invited.
[00:06:52] Speaker C: Yeah, the party has been published.
[00:06:54] Speaker A: It has? I didn't get it anyway.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: Did you check your spam folder? Yeah, I didn't check your spam folder.
[00:07:03] Speaker C: You'd hate it anyway.
[00:07:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't really know everybody.
[00:07:08] Speaker C: He'd be like a weird uncle that just turn.
[00:07:11] Speaker B: I think you should go.
[00:07:12] Speaker C: Yeah, maybe. Maybe that can be the hook. Yeah, we'll just like, who the is that guy? Yeah, I'll just say I don't know. He's a homeless guy, followed us in.
[00:07:21] Speaker A: Well, since I won't be attending, she.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: Act like he's a very integral part of everything.
[00:07:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:27] Speaker B: You know that big picture at the end of the hallway at Lincoln Lodge of the guy looking off into the distance? That's him. He lost some weight, but that's him.
[00:07:34] Speaker C: Yeah, he lost some weight and he lost some Hispanic ness to him.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: Who are you talking about?
[00:07:40] Speaker B: What's a guy right out here? You know, one time I told Jonah that that guy's name was like. He was like, who is that? And I said his name was like Johnny Directory. And I don't know why I said Directory. It was just the first thing I poss. Never thinking he believed me and he went around telling people that for six months.
[00:07:56] Speaker A: Johnny Directory.
[00:07:57] Speaker B: Johnny Directory. Oh, you know who that is? That's Johnny Director. I don't know who that is, but Christian told me that that's Johnny Director.
[00:08:02] Speaker C: I told you who it is.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: You may have.
[00:08:04] Speaker A: Who is it?
[00:08:05] Speaker C: He's the. He was a short order cook at the original Lincoln restaurant. Oh, the peak. The painting was made for a sitcom pilot that we did.
[00:08:15] Speaker A: You did a sitcom palette?
[00:08:16] Speaker C: Mm.
It's actually good.
[00:08:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
What's it called? What's it about?
[00:08:22] Speaker C: It's cold.
[00:08:26] Speaker A: Well, what's it about?
[00:08:28] Speaker B: I don't even know. I don't think you ever told me that was a show.
[00:08:32] Speaker C: I remember that starred Peter Gross.
[00:08:35] Speaker A: Oh yeah, I know. Pete Gross.
[00:08:37] Speaker C: Yeah. No, the whole thing was. There used to be this thing, a sitcom pilot competition and a friend of mine came and said, let's do some things. I was like, yeah, we got the things. So I produced my mate Steve was the director and then Andy Ross, Camille Nanjani and Jared Logan co wrote it and I came up with the idea of basically ripping off Britain's most beloved sitcom, Only Fools and Horses. The premise of which is Del Boy is a get Rick get rich quick merchant and every episode is him trying some harebrained scheme to get rich quick.
And it's beloved. But it's such a good premise.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: I'm surprised they haven't remade that like the Office over here.
[00:09:28] Speaker C: They may have done. If you wiki it, they might say, what the fuck was the thing called, though?
[00:09:35] Speaker A: I don't know. But the Office is Britain's most beloved sitcom.
Whatever the hell you said with all those were faulty towers.
[00:09:43] Speaker C: Did it even have a tile?
[00:09:45] Speaker A: I don't know. What are you looking at me for?
[00:09:47] Speaker C: It's online.
Yeah, I'll send you a link.
[00:09:50] Speaker A: Get any bites on that? Any. Anyone want to produce? Anyone want to snatch that up? You got bites?
[00:09:55] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. We got in, like, Pete Gross's agent gave it to some people, and all of a sudden we were. We were in a, you know.
[00:10:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Bidding war for this.
[00:10:03] Speaker C: Well, so it was just typical Hollywood bullshit, you know, like someone started blowing smoke up our ass. Yep, yep, yep. This is going.
So we had a couple of meetings and then this got mentioned and then it all starts to sort of tail off.
[00:10:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:18] Speaker C: And what no one had told me is, like, in Hollywood, no one ever says no.
They just ghost you because they don't want. They can't handle saying no to someone.
And so we were taking meetings about this thing and this, that, and then all of a sudden just disappeared in apothecary.
[00:10:39] Speaker B: It sounds similar to something that's happening to somebody I kind of know right now. You kind of know them too? I don't want to say Adam Croisus.
[00:10:48] Speaker A: In the sitcom Red Lines.
[00:10:49] Speaker B: Is that what you're talking about?
[00:10:51] Speaker A: Have you seen that? The teaser?
[00:10:53] Speaker C: No, it's a story as old as time.
[00:10:57] Speaker A: Sure it is.
[00:11:01] Speaker A: How do we get talking about this? What are we talking about here?
[00:11:05] Speaker B: Beauty and the Beast?
[00:11:07] Speaker C: No, the. The painting. So the painting was made for the sitcom. Oh, yeah. Because the sick. The premise of the sitcom was this. This shyster guy stumbled upon a cult, and the cult leader had just died and he goes, ah, I can make myself leader of these gullible dipshits and use them to my ends for my get rich quick schemes.
So the pilot was just him stumbling over these people and then ingratiating himself as their new leader.
[00:11:39] Speaker A: And Pete Gross was the guy.
[00:11:40] Speaker C: Pete Gross was the guy, the painting of the short order cook from the Lincoln Restaurant. He was the old leader and they were having, like, a service for him. Hence the need for the big pork.
[00:11:51] Speaker A: I'd like to see that. Send me the link to that.
[00:11:52] Speaker B: Who painted it? Who painted the portrait?
[00:11:54] Speaker C: Andy Ross, who does all. Who did that. Oh, really is on your chest right now.
[00:11:59] Speaker B: Wow. What a small world.
[00:12:00] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:12:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay.
[00:12:06] Speaker A: Well, I got nothing else.
[00:12:09] Speaker B: No, nothing interesting happened in the last two weeks.
[00:12:13] Speaker C: I thought when Kamao became famous, he might drag that sitcom into a meeting.
[00:12:18] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:12:19] Speaker C: Because it was an early calling card. But it never happened.
[00:12:22] Speaker A: No.
Maybe ask him. Let's resurrect this.
You can be the Pete Gross character. Was he in it?
[00:12:31] Speaker C: Yeah, he. He was only as like an extra.
[00:12:33] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:12:33] Speaker C: What was funny is we about all died making it because.
[00:12:39] Speaker C: Where we filmed it was this. You remember when they knocked all of the Maxwell street area down to. For DePau? DePaul, like, massively not DePaul. What's the goddamn Muni down there?
[00:12:54] Speaker C: Down Maxwell street, south side.
[00:12:56] Speaker A: What's the University of Illinois, Chicago?
[00:12:59] Speaker C: Yeah. Uic. When UIC demolished essentially the whole of that area to expand, there was this church left standing, right, and it had been deconsecrated. And I knew this guy that did punk rock concerts, and he was doing punk concerts in a church. Like, the band is on the thing.
[00:13:21] Speaker B: Is it on? Is it on Western?
[00:13:23] Speaker C: No, no, it's longer.
It was basically the last building standing in this. This area that UIC had Bulldog.
And so we got to film there in January.
[00:13:36] Speaker C: Two days before, you know, it's like minus 10 Celsius. The guy calls us and says, hey, just so you know, the heating is packed up in this.
[00:13:44] Speaker A: What's that mean? It's off?
[00:13:45] Speaker C: It's off because all the pipes are frozen, so we can't even turn it on. So he goes, you need to bring heaters.
So I thought, how the hell are we going to heat this massive church?
So we. We use propane burners. And the guy says to me, he goes, you got to be careful with this. Like, the fumes will build up fast.
So I go, no worries. We're in this massive church, high ceiling. We'll open the windows inhaling propane, and it'll vent out. It'll be fine.
[00:14:14] Speaker B: Because, you know, building sites, propane heavier than oxygen.
[00:14:18] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:14:20] Speaker C: But anyway, what happens is I'm like.
I'm like, we'll have no problem venting the rooms. You know, it's a church.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: You will. Propane's heavier than oxygen.
[00:14:29] Speaker C: Well, no, no. Isn't that the first thing? When we get into the church, my mate gets out this big roll of bin liners and tells his ad or whatever you call them to start taping them over all of the windows because of light. You know, when you film in, you can't have it get lighter. So he's like, tape over every. Close every window and tape over it. I'm like, oh, no ventilation. Yeah, no ventilation. Now the only way for us to stay warm is propane burners.
So we're zapping them, but people's like, headaches.
[00:15:04] Speaker A: Yeah, sure.
[00:15:04] Speaker C: Like, puking up and stuff. I'm like, we got a choice. Propane indoors. We got a choice here. We can either keep filming and deal with this or. Or it's over.
Yeah. And everyone did it. I think everyone sustained some sort of level of brain damage through the weekend. But anyway, the pilot got made, and that's important.
[00:15:26] Speaker A: That's amazing. I never. Every week in the show, I learned something new about you. It goes deeper and deeper.
[00:15:31] Speaker B: Right.
[00:15:31] Speaker A: Did you know this? That he made a pilot?
[00:15:33] Speaker B: No. Have you made any movies?
[00:15:36] Speaker C: Now, that finished me off. Because what happened with the pilot was we made. I'm my own biggest critic. That pilot is good.
[00:15:43] Speaker A: Wow. You don't say anything.
[00:15:45] Speaker C: No, I never say anything's good, Especially shit that I've made. Yeah, it's good. And we were gonna win.
So the premise of the competition was, don't spend more than five grand on it, because that's what the prize is.
So you can't spend more than the price. Yeah.
So I said, you know, all right, I'm flush right now. I'll. I'll put five grand this. And we. Which is bugger all when it comes down to it, really.
So we put that into it. We enter the thing into the competition.
Steve, my mate, is working with the woman who runs a competition, and she comes back with, oh, you're head and shoulders above everyone else, like, in terms of this, you know, an initial viewing.
So we're like, yeah, we're the hot. We're going to win this. And I'm like, yeah, I'll even put the money back. We'll do another one.
[00:16:36] Speaker A: Episode two.
[00:16:37] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly two weeks later, Steve comes in. And we'd started fielding calls at this point, like, with the. The Hollywood.
And he comes in with a face as long as your dick. And he's like. He's like, dudes, we're not gonna win it. And I go, why is that? Then we went from glory boys to not gonna win it. And he goes, no, someone. They. They didn't get many enough entries, so they extended the window, and someone has now entered.
[00:17:02] Speaker B: And actual pilot and real production value, more than $5,000.
[00:17:09] Speaker C: Yeah. He's like, it's a $50,000 come on. And it was written by.
[00:17:13] Speaker A: That's not the Spirit.
[00:17:14] Speaker C: Written by Tracy Letts.
So, like. Yeah, now you're back.
[00:17:18] Speaker A: He's not known for comedy, though. Tracy lets.
[00:17:21] Speaker C: Well, this was a. This was a thing called Cop show.
I. I worked up a lot of hatred, but, like, I want. I will. Tracy Letts for Tracy Letts. And. And a star of the pilot who I eventually met and was really, really nice guy.
[00:17:40] Speaker C: A famous. I'm not going to say his name, but he's like a very. He's like royalty. Chicago Improv.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: Royalty. Chicago Improv. Dave Pasquazzi, you bastard.
[00:17:50] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:17:50] Speaker B: Oh, wait.
[00:17:51] Speaker A: I guess.
[00:17:52] Speaker C: Yeah. So, like, I. He was the star of this pilot, and I hated him.
[00:17:56] Speaker A: Why do you have to edit that?
[00:17:58] Speaker C: Because then I. Then I went to see Glengarry Glen Ross at Steppenwolf, and he's like one of the stars of it. And I'm just sitting there like the.
[00:18:07] Speaker A: Squeezy was in Glen. Jerry Glenroth. Yeah. Wow.
[00:18:10] Speaker C: And eventually I met him at the lodge. He came and did a show as part of jfl. And of course he's like the nicest guy ever. And he does this show where it was some Paul Provenza thing where you. You got a word flashed up next to you and you had to improvise on it, but it had to be funny. And for some weird reason, he was like, freaking out about, like, oh, I don't know about this. I don't think. I don't think I've got the chops for this or whatever. Like, if there's anyone in Chicago who has the chops for this, it's. Can you, like, king of the improvs. Yeah.
All right. All this is getting yanked.
[00:18:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay.
Have you ever referred.
[00:18:51] Speaker B: It was a good story.
[00:18:52] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:18:54] Speaker C: No.
[00:18:54] Speaker A: People want to know, you know, it brings.
[00:18:58] Speaker A: Credibility to the show that you're involved in some of the stuff, you know, otherwise.
[00:19:02] Speaker B: And little Easter eggs, I think around this place, you know, like the picture of the guy. I never knew it was.
[00:19:07] Speaker A: All right.
[00:19:08] Speaker C: I'm going into a quiet phase now.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:11] Speaker A: Well, before you do, answer me this yes or nos. When. When you're talking to other people in your life. Right. Have you ever referred to me as your mate?
Like my mate? In talking about me? Have I ever been referred to as a mate?
[00:19:25] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: All right. How about him?
[00:19:28] Speaker C: Yeah, it's very.
You have to downplay it. It's a generic thing.
[00:19:32] Speaker A: Yeah. I never thought of. Thought of myself as your mate.
[00:19:35] Speaker B: What's the difference between a mate and Bloke, it's just a guy. Bloke's just a guy.
Right, okay.
[00:19:41] Speaker A: Guy in the street. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Well, I'm somebody's mate, just to be clear. You are, too, Just to be clear.
[00:19:48] Speaker C: We have never mated, though.
[00:19:50] Speaker A: No, not yet.
Invite me to the Christmas party, though, and you never know.
[00:19:56] Speaker B: You never know what could happen.
[00:19:58] Speaker A: Get some of that. What's that?
[00:19:59] Speaker C: A drink.
[00:20:00] Speaker B: Oh, the Ye Olde Snow Bullocks.
[00:20:02] Speaker A: Yeah, give me that. Ye Olde Snow bollocks.
[00:20:06] Speaker A: I'll be knobbing you off.
[00:20:09] Speaker B: Noggin, noggin.
[00:20:11] Speaker C: You off.
[00:20:15] Speaker A: All right, before we get started, one other thing. My wife, who's a big listener of the show, right, she's our number one.
[00:20:20] Speaker C: And in many ways the only.
[00:20:22] Speaker A: Maybe, perhaps.
[00:20:24] Speaker B: Who's this they?
[00:20:27] Speaker A: She's like our Marianne from Brooklyn on the Howard Stern.
[00:20:32] Speaker C: She.
[00:20:35] Speaker A: Suffers from a disease called gerd. Are you familiar with gerd?
[00:20:40] Speaker B: No.
[00:20:40] Speaker A: GERD stands for gastrointestinal reflux disorder, right?
And all day around the house, it's like white noise to me.
[00:20:54] Speaker A: You know? She's doing that all the time, right?
Drive anybody nuts. But I don't really hear it anymore. And because I don't hear it, it's like, you know, like how Chinese people can't hear the R sound after a certain amount of time. I can't hear GERD anymore. I don't even hear it.
She told me that you have gerd. Mark, from listening to the show, you have gastrointestinal reflux disorder. I don't hear it, but apparently you.
[00:21:19] Speaker B: Do this from the clearing of the throat? Yeah.
[00:21:22] Speaker A: You got bad gerd.
[00:21:25] Speaker A: Sorry to break that to you.
[00:21:26] Speaker C: Well, that's not GERD news to him.
[00:21:28] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:21:30] Speaker C: I'll look into it. It might be.
[00:21:32] Speaker A: Have you ever noticed he's got the gird?
[00:21:35] Speaker B: Yeah, I've noticed the clearing of the throat, but never heard it before.
[00:21:40] Speaker A: Never heard you do it. Don't hear it.
[00:21:42] Speaker B: But however, they'd always kind of coincided during episodes in which, leading up to I would know for just, you know, because I work here, that he had a cold or something like that, you know? So I was just kind of thought.
[00:21:54] Speaker A: He'S got a cold.
[00:21:55] Speaker B: Well, yeah, there was another time. Right. But it is now that you're mentioning. It does happen a lot, you know. So you can't have that many colds.
[00:22:03] Speaker A: Now, listen, I don't want you to get esophageal cancer, all right? So I need you to look into this. Get on a meprazole.
I don't work For.
[00:22:12] Speaker B: Why don't you just get tested for gerd or turmeric?
[00:22:15] Speaker A: Yeah, he's got it.
[00:22:16] Speaker B: Turmeric. That's one of. Yeah, you can just make.
[00:22:18] Speaker C: I don't talk very often, and when I do it.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: Oh, it's like, it's like a dry. Because you're so dry in there.
[00:22:23] Speaker C: Yeah, Yeah, I might be all right this week because this week after Bill gave us. Covid. Well, me specifically.
[00:22:30] Speaker A: Did you get it from me, Covid?
[00:22:32] Speaker B: No, I, I, I don't think I really got anything good.
[00:22:35] Speaker C: Yeah, well, that's because you didn't.
[00:22:36] Speaker A: Healthy as a horse, you didn't. Thighs over there.
[00:22:38] Speaker B: Yeah, right.
You exercise your thighs out as much as I do. You can just walk around.
[00:22:43] Speaker C: Doesn't matter.
[00:22:43] Speaker A: Immune to everything. He's like a central Viruses.
[00:22:45] Speaker B: Yeah, they, they can't get in.
[00:22:49] Speaker C: You didn't sit for three hours freezing your bollocks off at a Wisconsin Badgers game. And that was the trick. Like, I'd been fighting it until that point.
[00:22:57] Speaker A: But I heard cold can't make you sick.
Only germ can make you sick.
Weather can't make you sick.
[00:23:04] Speaker C: But I think once the germs in you now you're fighting heat, blah, blah, blah.
[00:23:08] Speaker A: Right.
[00:23:08] Speaker B: Because the cold lowers your immune system, so your immune system can't battle it.
[00:23:13] Speaker A: The cold meaning the sickness or the temperature.
[00:23:17] Speaker B: You already have whatever, the bacteria or the virus or whatever is already in you. So no matter what. But if you get cold, it lessens your ability to battle that, but it'll have more of an effect on you.
[00:23:28] Speaker A: Why cold or extreme cold versus extreme heat. Does heat also lower your immune system?
[00:23:34] Speaker B: No, but you can't get too hot either. I mean, you know, you have a. That's called a fever.
[00:23:38] Speaker C: Yeah, but anyway, afterwards I got Manuka honey and that was a mirror Nuka honey.
[00:23:44] Speaker A: What's that?
[00:23:45] Speaker C: It's the one I got was from New Zealand because I googled last year. I always get a chronic chest infection once a year. And so I googled my. Well, what Honey is the best because have you seen how much fucking honey?
[00:23:58] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:23:59] Speaker C: Yeah, everyone, it's like, come on, dudes, honey is honey. You don't eat 27 varieties. So I get, you know me, I get flustered when presented with too much choice.
So I google. I'm in Jewel and I Google. Okay, what is the best honey for fighting?
A throat thing. And it says Manuka raw. Manuka honey.
[00:24:21] Speaker A: They got that at Juul. That sounds high end. They don't get that.
[00:24:23] Speaker C: No, I mean, it's High end, expensive. I'll tell you that.
[00:24:26] Speaker A: It did the trick.
[00:24:28] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, I'm not a big believer in medicine because I think so much of it is psycho. Some, like, give someone a pill and say, this will cure you and how often does it? Right. So I'm not a big believer in it, but I will say it did seem to do something.
Now, was that in my head?
[00:24:48] Speaker A: Yeah, maybe. Maybe the. The honey is a placebo, too.
[00:24:52] Speaker C: Yep. So anyway.
[00:24:54] Speaker A: All right, we'll look into that gerd for us. Right.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: I'm worried about it.
[00:24:56] Speaker C: Brought to you by Manukahani of New.
[00:24:59] Speaker A: Zealand and Begain Construction. If you're in the market for a backsplash or a home remodel, check out Begain Construction for all those needs. You can find them in www.begainconstruction.com, ask for Bill and tell them Bill sent you.
[00:25:15] Speaker C: That took up 20 minutes of the app.
[00:25:17] Speaker A: Yep.
All right, well, let me see my notes here.
[00:25:22] Speaker C: Oh, we're gonna.
[00:25:23] Speaker A: This is Sam Kinison. This is gonna be a quickie. Sam Kinison.
[00:25:26] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:25:27] Speaker A: I think I feel like Sam Kinison's 1987 Breaking the Rules, live from Hollywood.
[00:25:34] Speaker C: I'm dangerous and I'm breaking the rules.
[00:25:37] Speaker A: Yeah. I didn't really think about how bad that title is. Breaking the rules, Breaking the law. Breaking the. Who's saying that song. Breaking the law. Judas Priest. Breaking the law.
[00:25:45] Speaker B: Breaking.
[00:25:46] Speaker C: I was thinking, what happened? I was looking up this cretin on the scene. Oh, no, no.
[00:25:52] Speaker A: That's like a cretin.
[00:25:53] Speaker C: No, no, no. Yeah. No. Okay. I was thinking the other day, what happened to all the bad boys of co. You know, everyone.
[00:25:59] Speaker A: The bad boys of comedy.
[00:26:00] Speaker C: Well, just the bad boys of anything. So very late 90s, there was a lot of bad boys of things.
[00:26:07] Speaker A: Name some bad boys of comedy. Besides, Sam Kinison, obviously, is one of the bad boys.
[00:26:13] Speaker A: Dice.
[00:26:15] Speaker A: Andy Lurie, Andrew Dice, Dice Clay.
[00:26:18] Speaker C: There's a lot of bad boys.
[00:26:21] Speaker A: Bad boys. What makes them a bad boy?
[00:26:23] Speaker B: Because they.
[00:26:24] Speaker A: They shoot from the hip and they talk about bad. About women.
[00:26:27] Speaker C: They only wear black. They wear black.
[00:26:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:30] Speaker C: And they smoke on stage because it's the 90s. And they say, what? You don't. You don't have the balls to say, yeah, I'm a bad boy.
[00:26:39] Speaker A: Well, I, I, you know, I never do research on any of these guys. I will leave that to you guys. But for whatever reason, in the middle of watching the Sam Kinison special, I was like, I gotta know a little more about this guy, because of course, I know him, but I didn't, I don't know the story. And apparently he, he, he gave birth to what you're saying, like these bad boys of comedy. Did you come across this too, where he be like. I like to say people begat somebody. Right. Sam Kinison begat, which I didn't know you're Bill Hicks, who you love.
[00:27:12] Speaker C: Did you read the quote?
[00:27:13] Speaker A: He begat some other bloke.
[00:27:14] Speaker C: Did you read the quote?
The quote was from Bill Hicks, said Sam Kinison was the first comedian I saw that wasn't trying to make the audience like him.
[00:27:24] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:27:25] Speaker C: That's the key.
[00:27:26] Speaker A: Yes. That's what makes you a bad boy.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: Right. Right. That'll do it.
[00:27:31] Speaker A: Some people called me a bad boy of comedy.
[00:27:33] Speaker B: Did they?
[00:27:34] Speaker C: I think they called you bad.
Well, some people walked into that one. Yeah.
[00:27:42] Speaker A: Well.
[00:27:45] Speaker A: He, he. I mean, it's hard to put myself in 1987. I'm a 12 year old boy. Right.
I'm looking for this kind of comedy, obviously. Um.
[00:27:56] Speaker A: I found it pretty bad. Not bad bad, but man, he takes, he comes out swinging right at people.
Women really.
[00:28:05] Speaker C: Mainly women.
[00:28:06] Speaker A: Mainly all women. This is really just kicking women for 45 minutes.
[00:28:11] Speaker C: I wouldn't.
[00:28:12] Speaker A: Not much. And gays. He takes a few swings of gays.
[00:28:14] Speaker C: Yeah. He just throws that.
[00:28:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:16] Speaker B: Just because he ran out of, you.
[00:28:18] Speaker A: Know, punching down on women. He ran out of material about that. So he kicked some gays.
[00:28:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Some variety in there, you know.
[00:28:24] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:28:26] Speaker C: I wonder how far after his divorce this. Because, you know, he references like, you want to know what hell is? I was married for two years and it's like, did you get divorced literally yesterday?
[00:28:37] Speaker A: I tried to put the timeline together by looking at his wives and the. He's in the middle of a marriage in this one, but maybe he was separated. He was in the middle of his second marriage during this one, so it's.
[00:28:48] Speaker C: Probably not going well.
[00:28:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Ironically, though.
[00:28:53] Speaker A: One of the first things he says in the special after the intro with his weird intro with his mother.
[00:29:00] Speaker A: He says, I love women.
Loves them. But then he really.
[00:29:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:29:06] Speaker A: Just takes them apart for the night.
[00:29:08] Speaker B: Spends an hour disproving that.
[00:29:11] Speaker C: You know what else makes him a bad boy? He throws the microphone.
[00:29:14] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that was great.
[00:29:16] Speaker A: He just knocks it over like, I don't need this.
[00:29:20] Speaker B: Oh, wait, yes, I do. Yeah.
[00:29:22] Speaker A: They had to pick it back up. But then he knocked the stand over.
[00:29:24] Speaker B: Again after he took the next part. I don't need. Actually.
[00:29:28] Speaker C: That almost seemed hysterically comical. Like. Yeah, like, seriously, he was thinking, I'll knock that fucking thing over.
[00:29:36] Speaker A: Yeah, fuck this. I don't need that fucking thing. Just stomps around the stage and what has to be to me, anyway? I don't know. Maybe there's somebody else. The most bizarre outfit we've seen any comedian in. Right?
[00:29:48] Speaker B: Yeah. That's a look.
[00:29:50] Speaker A: Like the flashers trench coat. The beret. Is it a beret? I don't know what that is. Yeah, the. The cat, the sideways.
[00:29:57] Speaker B: It's like the other page boy cap.
[00:29:59] Speaker A: Or like a. What the is it?
[00:30:01] Speaker C: I got mixed up because I looked it up and I said, oh, I know why he used to wear a beret, because he had burns on his head. But that was little Stephen Van.
[00:30:08] Speaker A: Oh, is that why he wears the.
[00:30:10] Speaker C: Durag and all that? He's got burns on his head, I think, Unless I've totally signed it somewhere.
[00:30:17] Speaker A: I always wondered why he wears that. I just figured he was bald.
[00:30:20] Speaker C: Someone somewhere in the world of entertainment wears a cap or. And. Or bandana because of burns on his head.
And I thought it might be Kinison, but it wasn't.
[00:30:30] Speaker A: Maybe.
Well, listen. Oh, maybe it is, you know, because he's bald.
[00:30:35] Speaker C: Kinison was bald. Mega fucking Hulk Hogan at that point. Yeah.
[00:30:41] Speaker A: But what I couldn't believe is. This is crazy.
At age three.
Did you see this? At age three, he was hit by a truck and got brain damage. So maybe the. It's not a burn necessarily, but the beret, that enormous beret.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: And epilogue.
[00:30:59] Speaker A: It's not a beret. It's something else, whatever that is.
[00:31:02] Speaker B: It's like one of those Irish caps, but it's bigger.
[00:31:03] Speaker A: It's not a tam, Right? Yeah, but you're right. It's like a big tam.
[00:31:06] Speaker B: Right?
[00:31:07] Speaker A: Big fucking tam. It's almost like a Bob Marley dreadlock bag.
[00:31:10] Speaker B: Like a shower cap.
Yeah, it's like a shower cap and made out of clothes.
[00:31:14] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Maybe that's covering his brain damage.
[00:31:16] Speaker C: He stuck with that the whole way, though.
[00:31:19] Speaker A: What?
[00:31:20] Speaker C: That. The dirty man coat, didn't he?
[00:31:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Kevin. On the whole time. Right. That's a signature piece. And then that's the tennis sneakers. Yeah, tennis shoes.
[00:31:29] Speaker C: Wasn't he discovered by Dangerfield? That's how he ended up in that.
[00:31:32] Speaker B: Yeah, that was. His big break was at Dangerfield. He would hang out at, I think, the Comedy Store, and he became friends with Jim Carrey and.
[00:31:39] Speaker A: Oh, really?
[00:31:40] Speaker B: Yes, somebody.
[00:31:41] Speaker A: They're contemporaries.
[00:31:42] Speaker B: That's hard to believe. Yeah, I guess so. I thought it was kind of. Yeah, right. But then his big break was. Yeah. Dangerfield putting him up and then he started appearing on like late night shows and stuff like that.
[00:31:51] Speaker A: Well, I also read that he worked the door at the Comedy Store and developed a terrible cocaine habit.
[00:31:57] Speaker B: Yep, yep, yep. He's free basing for a while.
[00:31:59] Speaker A: Freebasing cocaine.
[00:32:00] Speaker C: What's free basing, really?
[00:32:04] Speaker A: I don't know from experience, but it's. It's smoking rock, basically.
[00:32:10] Speaker B: It's different than somebody do it. It's basically like when you put it on a spoon, I think they might have put it on a tin foil or maybe tin foil, something like that. And they light it from underneath and it creates a smoke and you breathe the smoke in and I guess the reason is like the effect is immediate and.
[00:32:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:32:25] Speaker B: Lasts longer.
[00:32:27] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a quick.
[00:32:28] Speaker B: Right.
[00:32:29] Speaker A: It sounds good.
[00:32:31] Speaker B: It's probably a blast.
[00:32:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:32:35] Speaker A: I would like to try.
[00:32:38] Speaker A: All right, so.
[00:32:39] Speaker C: Oh, and you. Hugh Hefner gets a shot.
[00:32:42] Speaker A: I couldn't believe Hefner was there. Right. Like I thought it was a joke.
[00:32:45] Speaker B: I missed that part.
[00:32:47] Speaker C: What?
[00:32:47] Speaker A: Yeah, you weren't paying close attention actually. What are you doing while you watch?
[00:32:51] Speaker B: Well, because I was rushing to watch it before we were supposed to record today. Last week.
[00:32:55] Speaker A: Oh, last week.
[00:32:56] Speaker B: Yeah. And so I could only get it, remember the whole thing. I didn't have my laptop charger, so I got it on my iPad, but I got it on dailymotion. And no matter what, no matter how many times I tried to start it over, it would only show the first screen that said Sam Kinison. And the first time I thought. Cuz then the mother starts talking, right? The whole intro is the mother talking about Sam as a kid and everything. And I thought it was just like a freeze frame with her voice in the background. And then he gets into his act and it was a couple of minutes later I realized, oh, I'm just not getting video. And no matter what I did to try, I couldn't get video. I only had audio the whole time. So I didn't see if they flashed to.
Who was it? Hugh Hefner.
[00:33:31] Speaker A: Wait a minute, so you didn't watch this?
[00:33:33] Speaker B: I listened to it.
[00:33:34] Speaker A: Oh, you listened to it? Yeah, but without.
[00:33:37] Speaker B: There was no video. I could only hear the audio. So. And I was here. So I just walked around doing the work I had to do while listening to it.
[00:33:43] Speaker A: Yeah, that's kind of cool. Wait, hang on.
[00:33:46] Speaker C: I used to say I did that and you said it sucked.
[00:33:51] Speaker B: But that was.
[00:33:51] Speaker C: I would have the window up but then be doing anyway.
Yeah, yeah, that was, that was just perfect timing, like, you know, and to Prove I'm not a misogynist. Here's Hugh Hefner as well.
[00:34:05] Speaker A: Yeah, right.
[00:34:06] Speaker C: Double down.
[00:34:07] Speaker A: Yeah. He got a big standing ovation there.
[00:34:13] Speaker A: Well, I mean, what do we want to talk about here with this guy? I mean, he punches down on women, but the stuff. Did you like some of the other material, like, about, you know, the Jesus stuff? I thought some of that was pretty good.
[00:34:28] Speaker B: That's. That's what stuck out to me. I like that when he. When he was able to use his preacher background, because he was. He was a preacher for so long.
[00:34:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:34:36] Speaker B: And he was able to use his preacher background to be like, you know, isn't this silly? And Isn't this silly? And it kind of goes back to a few times this has happened in some of our.
Some of the. Most. The more recent episodes where comics have done something that we've seen a million times but just did it good, you know, like, we're saying, like, Michael Che did that.
[00:34:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:34:55] Speaker B: You know, and there were a number of others. That was one of them. And I realized, yes, of course, this was 1987, so it could have been, you know, maybe like, an original sort of thought then. But I thought he did the religious aspect of how silly some of the stories are, like, you know, feeding the 5,000 people and, you know, just like.
[00:35:16] Speaker A: Yeah, he's got a. I mean, he's got an interesting perspective.
[00:35:19] Speaker B: He does, right? Yeah. I thought that was. That was interesting. That was actually thought provoking. That was actually kind of. It was clever. You know, it actually got a reaction of.
[00:35:26] Speaker A: Huh.
[00:35:26] Speaker B: Never thought of it that way, you know?
[00:35:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. What do you think about the material? The material, overall?
[00:35:32] Speaker C: I just got a comment that says, religious stuff, dash, Weak.
[00:35:35] Speaker A: You thought it was weak?
[00:35:36] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:35:37] Speaker A: Well, I would say, overall, right? There's. If, you know, you talk about, like, chopping down an episode, right. You could chop out.
You could chop out three fourths of this. It was a lot of. It was just filler.
It was just like him hemming and hawing or just, you know, walking around the bit for 10 minutes without, like. Like the whole bit at the end.
The sex education, licking a vagina thing, Right? Like, he could have said that. There was maybe one joke in there in the 15 minutes, right? He was just talking. I'm gonna tell you. You want to know? I'm gonna. They don't teach us how to do sex education, man. I'll tell you how to do it. You want to know how to do it? Well, let me tell you, they didn't tell us Anything like this when we were kids? Well, we didn't. Like. It's just filler. It's like filler bustering without any real meat.
[00:36:30] Speaker A: I know that I can. I can detect this because this was most of my act. I didn't have many jokes. It was just filler. Right. Just talking and filling shit without any material.
So, you know, him being in the. I wouldn't say he's on the Mount Rushmore of comedy, but certainly some people regard him as one of the great comics of all time.
Right.
[00:36:51] Speaker A: To go back and look at it. And that's why I kind of love what we're doing here with this show, is that we're. We're. We're kind of putting our arms around all of comedy, the history of comedy. I think the goal of this show should be for us to watch every single special.
[00:37:07] Speaker A: Ever made. Ever made, and then we're done.
[00:37:12] Speaker B: Yeah, right.
[00:37:13] Speaker A: However long that takes.
[00:37:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:37:15] Speaker A: One a week, 50 a year.
How long would that take? How many specials are there done in.
[00:37:21] Speaker C: Two and a half years, max?
[00:37:23] Speaker B: No.
[00:37:24] Speaker A: Well, how many comedy specials do you think are out there? Filmed comedy specials?
It's not like movies. Right there.
[00:37:31] Speaker C: You'd have to. I mean, weren't that many that stringent? Are you gonna say it had to be broadcast? Because anyone can just ship one out on Amazon now.
[00:37:40] Speaker A: Now. But, like, if you. If we just so, you know, going into the back catalog, there weren't that many. Probably 10 a year.
[00:37:48] Speaker A: But if you were to do albums.
[00:37:50] Speaker C: Whatever, I wasn't here, so I can't speak to that.
[00:37:52] Speaker A: My point being that, like, going back and looking at something from 1987, someone who's so highly regarded, thought of as one of the great comedians, and then to really chop it up and look at it like this, it's like, not that good.
[00:38:04] Speaker C: Yeah, right.
[00:38:05] Speaker A: I mean, he's definitely unique in many ways.
[00:38:09] Speaker B: Right.
[00:38:09] Speaker A: And maybe he, you know, broke the mold on this kind of comic and.
And gave way to the bad boys of comedy. He was definitely pulling no punches. In a way. Maybe other comedians were pulling punches, but the material blows.
[00:38:27] Speaker B: Yeah, Right.
[00:38:28] Speaker A: It's not great.
[00:38:29] Speaker B: It's one of those things, though, where it's like, it's easy to look back now and say, it's not so good. But, you know, when it's coming out and you've never seen anything like it.
[00:38:35] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
But the material is not that good.
[00:38:38] Speaker B: It's not.
[00:38:39] Speaker C: The crowd was.
[00:38:40] Speaker A: Yeah, they were hyped.
[00:38:41] Speaker B: Right.
[00:38:41] Speaker C: And I was saying to Someone before the show, I was like, well, you know, you look at it and you go, wow, this is definitely misogyny, tarted up. But there was a lot of women in that audience who were just screaming like rock. You know, he references the twins in the front, this and that. Like, that's what he says.
[00:39:01] Speaker A: I love women.
He's such a lech.
[00:39:04] Speaker C: It's funny. It's just like, well, what were they thinking? Were they thinking at the time?
[00:39:09] Speaker A: Yeah, that's just how it was at the time.
[00:39:11] Speaker C: You.
[00:39:12] Speaker A: You openly bash women. Right.
And, you know, there was more of a two way street in that way. And in that I kind of. It made kind of like with Patrice o' Neill or some of the others that we looked at, like where you could say things before that you just can't say now.
[00:39:29] Speaker B: Right.
[00:39:29] Speaker A: You can't openly bash women. Or you can, but it has to be clever or tongue in cheek. And this guy was just taking swings.
[00:39:36] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:39:37] Speaker A: Which I. I don't think, you know, he says how much he hates women and marriage is hell and. But, like, he's married, right. He has a wife.
[00:39:45] Speaker B: He.
[00:39:45] Speaker A: He's. You know, he doesn't really think this. And that's what I miss about comedy is like, just going after people. So you don't really mean it, but you're just gonna go after them.
[00:39:53] Speaker B: Do you think he's a character?
[00:39:56] Speaker A: I don't know how much of a character. Yeah.
[00:39:57] Speaker B: Because I can't. I don't think I've ever, like, I've never seen him in, like, interviewed or, you know, just like, talk as a normal person offstage. I don't really know how he is in real life, so I don't either. Much of a character do you think the onstage person is?
[00:40:12] Speaker C: I mean, it's definitely a character.
Yeah. He's dressed like this. He's screaming. No. Walks around screaming, blah, blah.
[00:40:19] Speaker B: How far of a departure do you think, from his reality? Do you think that character.
How. How much has he.
[00:40:26] Speaker C: Well, here's an interesting one.
I thought about how old he looked, and he died at 38.
[00:40:32] Speaker A: So it's like he looks five years before that. He's 33 here.
[00:40:35] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. He looks like 50 OD.
[00:40:37] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
It's like, you know, 20 stone.
[00:40:42] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, he looks a fucking mess. And there he is screaming like bitches, like, Jesus Christ, dude. You look like a blob of shit in that sense.
[00:40:53] Speaker A: Like, he's a character in the way he dresses, in the way he acts, but his lifestyle that he talks about. I think with the women, with the drugs, with the partying, that's not a character. That's real. Right.
[00:41:04] Speaker B: I thought it was pretty wild that the car accident that ended up taking his life was somebody else's fault. Yeah, it was. A teenager in a pickup truck crossed over the middle line.
[00:41:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Drunk driver.
[00:41:16] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:41:18] Speaker A: Really interesting. Did you read about the eyewitness testimony at the scene?
He got out of the car.
[00:41:25] Speaker B: Right.
[00:41:26] Speaker A: He walked out, was seemingly unhurt.
Right. He had hit his head against the windshield. And the passenger, the lady, she also hit her head. But then he just sat down on the curb and was like.
But the internal injuries were so bad that, like, he started to go and was like, why is. And he said, why is this? Why now? Like, he was talking to an angel or something.
Okay, okay.
Like he was having a conversation with some kind of apparition.
[00:41:55] Speaker C: I thought, it's crazy. Yeah. I thought, first of all, he said, I don't want to go.
[00:41:59] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:42:01] Speaker C: And then he said verbatim, okay, fine, or whatever.
[00:42:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:42:04] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:42:04] Speaker A: And then he just fucking lights out.
[00:42:07] Speaker C: I don't know if that's real. Yeah. That might be myth.
[00:42:10] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:42:10] Speaker B: You hear that? Yeah. Like, there's, like. There's a Steve Job sings up. Steve Jobs, his last words. Have you ever heard, like, sort of situation? Like he was just saying, oh, wow, I can't believe this is what it is. You know, like, as if he could see some sort of afterlife. And, you know, of course, because it's Steve Jobs, people are like, oh, maybe something he can see. You know, because it's Steve. But also.
Right.
[00:42:34] Speaker A: You can really see them.
[00:42:35] Speaker B: Yeah, but I mean, if Sam Kinison's having a conversation with an angel, I mean, he just smashed his head against the windshield.
It might be that.
[00:42:42] Speaker A: Yeah. He's just. Yeah. Delirious.
[00:42:44] Speaker B: He might just not.
[00:42:45] Speaker A: Yeah, it could be. Yeah, right, right.
[00:42:46] Speaker B: It could be a head trauma.
[00:42:48] Speaker A: Incidentally, famous last words. I don't know. We're keep going with this, but I read yesterday, down a rabbit hole, Bob Marley's last words to. Were to his son, Ziggy Marley.
Money can't buy life.
[00:43:03] Speaker A: Not very profound, I guess. But that's the last words, then.
Croak.
[00:43:11] Speaker A: Did he say croak? No, he didn't say croak. But back to the audience.
Yeah.
Money can't buy life.
Monsters.
[00:43:25] Speaker A: Yeah, man.
[00:43:27] Speaker B: It's like, I wish you didn't say Yaman.
[00:43:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
If you ever see one of those Yaman Jamaica T shirts in the thrift. Grab. Grab that for me. I Want that? But I mean, it'll get one of those Iri Iriman.
Yeah, man.
When they did Panda, the audience a couple times, it was very 80s, right. Like every time they pan, it'd be like a guy with a mustache looked.
[00:43:51] Speaker C: Like a porn star and a woman with.
[00:43:54] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:43:55] Speaker C: And then he gets in a Corvette.
[00:43:57] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:43:59] Speaker C: X Rev, the final bad boy.
[00:44:04] Speaker A: Yeah. I wonder if that was the car in the exit. Not to be morbid, but.
[00:44:11] Speaker A: What about the screaming? All right, because that's what he's known for, right? He. He begat other screamers, like Eddie Pepitonato. Like, he.
[00:44:20] Speaker C: What, he.
[00:44:21] Speaker A: Was he the first screaming comedian?
[00:44:24] Speaker B: Probably.
[00:44:25] Speaker A: So I think he kind of set.
[00:44:27] Speaker B: The mark for that.
[00:44:28] Speaker A: But who. Who did he give way to with the screaming?
[00:44:34] Speaker A: Lewis Black.
Adam Grosius.
[00:44:37] Speaker C: Lewis Black doesn't scream, does he?
[00:44:39] Speaker B: Sure he does.
[00:44:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
That kind of thing. Yeah, you're right. That is. He is from the. The screaming school of comedy.
Eddie Pepitone.
[00:44:50] Speaker A: But there was something.
[00:44:53] Speaker A: In him, like.
[00:44:54] Speaker C: A school, two people. Yeah, I know.
[00:44:57] Speaker A: I can't do anyone else.
[00:44:59] Speaker C: Not another screaming comedian.
[00:45:02] Speaker A: I felt a little Bobcat Goldthwait in there with him, like the disheveled, kind of frumpy.
[00:45:12] Speaker A: I think that's where Bobcat got his act. He just toned down the Kinison screaming and created this weird, like.
[00:45:21] Speaker C: Ah.
[00:45:24] Speaker C: That.
[00:45:25] Speaker A: I don't. I don't know what the point of that is.
[00:45:27] Speaker C: The one.
[00:45:27] Speaker A: He's not even part of the joke.
[00:45:28] Speaker B: He just goes.
[00:45:31] Speaker A: Is that too loud?
[00:45:32] Speaker B: You have to.
Everything's red on this.
[00:45:34] Speaker A: My wife's ears just blew out. Yeah, I hear about that.
Does your missus still listen to the program?
[00:45:41] Speaker C: I don't think she ever has.
[00:45:42] Speaker A: Oh, I thought she did.
[00:45:43] Speaker C: No, I made a passing comment to. As if she was an expert. I don't think she's ever listened to it, which is annoying because I could have been saying a lot of different things. I know.
[00:45:54] Speaker A: I think she would learn a lot about you listening to this program.
She knows you go to the Jewel and get the hot dogs.
[00:46:00] Speaker B: Right.
[00:46:03] Speaker C: We might be at the stage where she doesn't want to learn things about.
[00:46:06] Speaker A: No. Maybe. Yeah.
Together for so long.
[00:46:09] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:46:11] Speaker A: The other thing I didn't know, this man's from Peoria, Illinois. He references Illinois. I'm from Illinois.
[00:46:18] Speaker C: Well, born somewhere else.
[00:46:20] Speaker B: He was born.
[00:46:21] Speaker A: Born in Washington, moved it three months to Peoria, and then in his teen years or late adolescence.
[00:46:29] Speaker C: That's him and Richard Pryor.
[00:46:31] Speaker A: Yeah, Right. Those are two.
[00:46:33] Speaker C: We should have Matt Andrews.
[00:46:36] Speaker A: Is it Andrews from Peoria yeah.
[00:46:40] Speaker A: And that explains why he's so good. Matt Andrews, rest in peace.
[00:46:44] Speaker C: Yes, Rest in peace.
[00:46:45] Speaker A: He's born with his stomach on the outside of his body.
His intestines were born on the outside or on the outside of his body. They had to put him back in. Got a horrific scar.
[00:46:55] Speaker C: Yeah, he did. He was told it was his mom was told. This kid won't live past two months.
[00:47:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
Dark part of his act.
[00:47:05] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:47:06] Speaker A: It's strange though, that both mad. All Matt Andrews, Richard Pryor and Sam Kinson should still be alive.
Something about Peoria.
[00:47:15] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:47:16] Speaker A: Leads to early death.
[00:47:16] Speaker C: Have you been to Peoria?
[00:47:18] Speaker A: Once?
[00:47:20] Speaker C: I've been a couple of times. For motorcycle racing. That is like a brute. What's what I call an American Bruce Springsteen town.
[00:47:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:47:29] Speaker C: You just drive in and you're like, oh, this is what he's singing about.
[00:47:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
Yeah.
[00:47:34] Speaker C: We went to the casino in Peoria this summer when I went down there for motorcycle racing. Holy.
[00:47:40] Speaker A: Yeah. Hard Scrabble group in that casino.
[00:47:45] Speaker C: Actually, we didn't last that long in it because it was kind of crap.
It was all these horrendously big fruit machines. They're massive now, you know, it used to be a little thing and you. Ding.
They're enormous and they go to the ceiling.
[00:48:03] Speaker A: Really?
[00:48:04] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:48:05] Speaker A: You would think Peoria would be this. Maybe the second biggest city in Illinois. Right. But it's not. Do you know what the second biggest city in Illinois is?
[00:48:13] Speaker C: Well, see the champagne or Springfield, isn't it?
[00:48:16] Speaker A: No.
[00:48:16] Speaker B: Normal.
[00:48:17] Speaker A: No.
[00:48:20] Speaker A: Used to be Rockford. It's not anymore.
[00:48:23] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:48:25] Speaker A: Might surprise you.
[00:48:26] Speaker B: What is it?
[00:48:27] Speaker A: Aurora.
[00:48:29] Speaker B: Aurora.
[00:48:29] Speaker A: You know, it's number three.
[00:48:32] Speaker C: Aurora to me is still pushing the Chicago.
[00:48:36] Speaker B: Naperville. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's also very close. I was at a gala, a charity gala on Saturday. Fred Armisen was there and he was doing a little Q and A with the audience.
[00:48:48] Speaker C: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What did he get? Did you approach him? Visa vis the Lincoln Lodge in his connection?
[00:48:55] Speaker B: Yeah. No, no, I didn't talk to him.
[00:48:57] Speaker A: Did you ask him about performing with me in the 2000 Comedy Fest?
[00:49:02] Speaker B: I emailed him about it. He got back.
[00:49:03] Speaker C: Did you ask him about the infamous fallout with Matt Dwyer over a woman?
[00:49:07] Speaker B: I sent him a message.
[00:49:08] Speaker A: No, I didn't know that.
[00:49:11] Speaker A: Might need to edit that out.
[00:49:12] Speaker C: You missed a whole lot of Fred Armisen chat.
[00:49:16] Speaker B: I know. I should have talked to him more about you two.
[00:49:19] Speaker A: Wait a minute. What is this gala you're at? Were you playing the piano?
[00:49:22] Speaker B: No, I was enjoying as a guest myself and A friend of mine goes every year. She and her boyfriend and she had bought two tickets for Borky and myself to go with them this year because she believes in the charity so much, she wanted to spread it. She wanted to spread how much fun it was to the two of us. So we were able to go and enjoy an evening with Fred Armisen and Jeff Tweedy.
[00:49:51] Speaker A: This is a high end event.
[00:49:53] Speaker C: This is a $500 ticket something.
[00:49:56] Speaker A: Yeah, for those two, sure.
[00:49:58] Speaker B: It was a good time.
[00:49:59] Speaker A: Did they act together? Did they do something together or not? Just separate.
[00:50:03] Speaker B: Fred Armisen was on the drums for a little while with the house band and Tweety was playing, but they didn't like exclusively play a song. Like two of them on stage together. They were just kind of jamming at the same time.
[00:50:16] Speaker A: Yeah, that's cool.
[00:50:17] Speaker B: But I saw there was a woman in the audience who, you know, Fred Armisen does this whole act of going across the map of the United States and going fluently from one accent into another. Like all the way from the northeast coast, down the east coast to the South Loops, all the way through. Yeah, it's a great bit. He does it on. He's got a really good special about drummers.
[00:50:38] Speaker A: If you haven't seen it, I've heard about it. I heard it's amazing.
[00:50:41] Speaker B: He does this on, on that special. It's great. And so he did that whole bit and when he opened it up to people at the end, just for, you know, questions about this to that, and everybody had really good questions. And I mean, he was donating his time to be there. Like, it was very interesting.
[00:50:54] Speaker A: No, he wasn't.
[00:50:55] Speaker B: No, they, they. This particular one, everybody there does donate their time. They make it, like, very clear. Like, this is. Yeah, it's. Everything's donated. It's even. Even the chop shop that had put it on donated their space and everything for this event.
[00:51:11] Speaker A: What's the Armisen Lincoln Lodge connection?
What do you. Why you got a gas face like you just farted?
[00:51:17] Speaker C: Because I went to do a high end fundraiser once myself and I was quoted to perform. No, no, no, no. To, to organize one. There's a whole episode in that. But I was quoted. Ten grand for a comedian who is very Fred Arms. No, no, no. 10 grand. And I said to their agent, I just said, this is a charity thing.
And she's like, no, 10 grand. Yeah, for her to come.
[00:51:46] Speaker A: That is the charity meaning, like, they probably get more.
They're doing it for 10 grand. Yeah, normally I do 20 grand.
[00:51:53] Speaker C: I'm like, I Don't know what I don't want. What planet you live on where you get 10 grand for a day's work.
[00:52:00] Speaker A: If. Is this a well known comedian?
[00:52:03] Speaker C: Yeah, sure.
[00:52:04] Speaker A: Well, if you. If you were to hire a singer or a band to perform, you're gonna pay 50 grand or something crazy.
[00:52:09] Speaker C: Unbelievable. Anyway, what was your question?
[00:52:12] Speaker A: What's Armisen's connection to the Lincoln Lodge?
[00:52:16] Speaker C: He did that Venezuelan drummer called Ferracito at early festival show.
[00:52:23] Speaker A: Yeah, he did. That's the one I'm talking about. He was in the Chicago Comedy Festival.
[00:52:26] Speaker C: Yeah, Lincoln Lodge.
[00:52:29] Speaker A: Well, he was in the show the Bible School doing far.
[00:52:32] Speaker C: He was also at the Lincoln.
[00:52:36] Speaker A: I never got that feed of stupid. You know, I like Fred Armson. I think he's great. Well, anyway, some of that his early act was shite.
[00:52:45] Speaker B: Some. Some lady in the audience yelled at him for not doing a Peoria accent during his. There is no tour. Right. But she would not get off it. She clearly had. Had taken advantage of the open bar a little bit.
[00:52:56] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:52:56] Speaker B: And she was just laying into him as. He's just kind of like. And he was being very nice about. He's like, okay, sure, it's a deal. And every single person in the audience just mouth agape staring at her.
[00:53:08] Speaker A: Shut up.
[00:53:09] Speaker B: Right. Everybody felt embarrassed. They weren't even speaking.
[00:53:15] Speaker A: Well, look at you. You got a whole nother life too.
[00:53:18] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:53:19] Speaker A: You and him. I. I am what you see, I don't go to anything high end like that.
[00:53:23] Speaker C: I don't go to high end.
[00:53:25] Speaker A: You, you produce TV shows. He goes to high end galas.
Just home watching that Gacy show.
It's great.
You got to watch it. It's great.
The guy that plays it, John Travolta.
[00:53:39] Speaker C: What?
[00:53:39] Speaker A: No, Gacy.
John Gacy. What the are you talking about?
[00:53:43] Speaker C: John Travolta played him.
[00:53:45] Speaker A: He did in a different version of it. No, this is Michael Chernis.
[00:53:49] Speaker C: Oh, no. Gotti.
[00:53:51] Speaker A: Gotti.
It's a different story.
Both John's one, but it's a different story. Yeah.
[00:53:58] Speaker C: What minutes are we at?
[00:53:59] Speaker B: We are at 55.
[00:54:01] Speaker C: Oh.
[00:54:01] Speaker A: All right, let's wrap it up.
[00:54:02] Speaker B: Crossing to 56.
[00:54:05] Speaker A: And we'll do our reviews because this could be a good thumbs up. You give it.
What's our rating scale for this?
[00:54:12] Speaker C: How many.
[00:54:14] Speaker B: How many screams?
[00:54:15] Speaker A: Yeah, but what?
[00:54:16] Speaker C: But what?
[00:54:16] Speaker A: I was thinking about you at the very end. He gets behind the piano. I thought the show was over. But then he goes behind the piano and he's got some chops. He can play the piano a little Bit, Right. Oh, you didn't see this. You're gonna be like, I'm.
[00:54:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I missed all of this.
[00:54:29] Speaker A: Oh, my God. He sits down at the piano at the end.
[00:54:31] Speaker C: Yeah. He's tinkling.
[00:54:32] Speaker A: He didn't watch this at all.
[00:54:33] Speaker B: Yes, I did.
I told you, I didn't watch it. I listened to it.
[00:54:37] Speaker A: Well, you didn't listen to it either.
[00:54:38] Speaker C: Oh, see, Maybe you thought someone else.
[00:54:39] Speaker B: Is playing, I think.
[00:54:40] Speaker C: Yeah. While he was doing more massage.
[00:54:43] Speaker B: I wonder if I'd even.
[00:54:46] Speaker A: That to me, like, he just got done kicking gays. And then he did some necrophilia work. And then he gets behind the piano and plays, you know, a little prelude, shows he can play the piano. And then it's maybe one or two lines of lyric, and it's basically, you fucking whore.
[00:55:12] Speaker A: I don't know who he was. None of this was a woman. His wife or his last girlfriend. Whore. Screaming into the microphone. And that was it. And then. And then a little outro from his mom saying she's proud of him.
[00:55:24] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:55:26] Speaker A: Doing what he loves for doing what he loves. And then in the Corvette X Rev.
[00:55:32] Speaker C: Oh, man.
[00:55:33] Speaker A: Pretty great.
[00:55:36] Speaker A: Okay, so we're here to say Sam Kinison, 1987. Breaking the rules.
[00:55:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:55:42] Speaker A: Out of groundbreaking the Rules.
[00:55:45] Speaker B: Ground breaking the Rules.
[00:55:47] Speaker A: Did you enjoy it? How many.
[00:55:51] Speaker A: I can't do it.
[00:55:56] Speaker A: Do you give it. And you have to do that?
[00:55:58] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[00:56:01] Speaker B: I give it three and a half.
[00:56:03] Speaker A: Do it three and a half.
[00:56:04] Speaker B: Out of four. Oh, out of four. I was going out of five. Okay, if we're going out of four, I give it an even three.
[00:56:14] Speaker B: Jesus Christ. That's it. That's terrible.
[00:56:16] Speaker A: It sounded like Kermit the Frog yelling.
[00:56:22] Speaker A: All right, Mark, he gives it three and a half. Out of five. No, I get Kermit the Frog.
[00:56:28] Speaker B: I gave it three out of four. Screeches, screams.
[00:56:32] Speaker A: See what you got.
[00:56:32] Speaker C: Well, I give it a.
[00:56:36] Speaker C: I give it one.
[00:56:39] Speaker A: One.
Not even a scream. You didn't like this?
[00:56:44] Speaker C: No. And I'm like. I say I'm Hicks. I'm a Hicks disciple, and I. I fully expected to be Gad Hicks. Yeah. And yet here I am. I just listen all of my comments.
[00:56:55] Speaker C: Weak.
[00:56:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:56:56] Speaker B: It was gonna get less screams out of me until you both.
[00:56:59] Speaker A: Christian loves this.
[00:57:00] Speaker B: Until you told me that he played the piano at the end and took off. Corvette. I. About any of that. Yeah, that completely changed my mind.
[00:57:05] Speaker C: I mean, who's got the fucking balls to stand there on stage and do a bit about women getting fat after getting married? And you look like Sam Kinison or.
[00:57:15] Speaker A: The five to seven pounds a year trick.
[00:57:17] Speaker C: Not even fucking like. Not even. He didn't even end the joke with her.
And I can say that because I'm a big.
[00:57:25] Speaker A: He's not. He's not self deprecating at all.
[00:57:28] Speaker C: No, it just does it with no commentary to his towards his own thing.
That's just.
[00:57:36] Speaker A: Yeah. And I was disappointed too, like where he's going to teach us how to give cunnilingus because I'm always looking for pointers in that department.
[00:57:43] Speaker B: Right.
[00:57:43] Speaker A: And all the way after 15 minutes, it's just say the Alphabet while doing cunnilingus. That's not gonna work.
[00:57:51] Speaker B: No, that doesn't work.
[00:57:53] Speaker A: I'll try it, but I don't think it's gonna work.
I'm gonna. I don't love Sam Kinison. His act, his material, especially on. As much as Christian loves him. Christian loves him.
[00:58:05] Speaker B: He's my favorite comedian, one of Christian's.
[00:58:07] Speaker A: Favorite comedians, but I will recognize his.
He is a unique brand.
[00:58:16] Speaker A: Singular performer in many ways.
[00:58:20] Speaker A: Open the door to the bad boys of comedy.
[00:58:24] Speaker C: And you went piling through it.
[00:58:26] Speaker A: Yeah, that. I jumped on that bandwagon. So I will give him two.
[00:58:35] Speaker A: Those three.
Two of those.
[00:58:38] Speaker A: Two. Two out of five. Two out of four. I'll give it two out of four. You give it three and a half out of five. And you give it one week.
Whimpering out of.
[00:58:49] Speaker B: To be decided.
[00:58:50] Speaker A: To be decided. I think that says it all.
[00:58:52] Speaker C: So that means it's special then, because you, you two.
[00:58:55] Speaker A: I gave it a two out of four. That's not. That's like a no vote he gives. Christian loves it.
[00:59:01] Speaker B: It's.
[00:59:01] Speaker A: It's so.
[00:59:02] Speaker C: It's not special.
[00:59:03] Speaker B: It's a push.
[00:59:04] Speaker A: Not.
It's. Yeah. His favorite one.
[00:59:09] Speaker B: I'm kind of stealing your bit, though.
[00:59:10] Speaker A: I can't.
[00:59:10] Speaker B: I can't do that. You've got the bit of.
[00:59:12] Speaker A: No, I'm not the best working comedian. No, he's not.
[00:59:14] Speaker B: Not the best.
[00:59:14] Speaker A: He's not the best. It's interesting. He's an interesting guy.
I'm into it, but. Yeah.
[00:59:20] Speaker B: All right.
[00:59:20] Speaker A: Next week we'll be. We'll be reviewing. Well, next week's show might also be 2024's best of show.
[00:59:30] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:59:30] Speaker A: Which we'll. We'll announce the best and worst of.
Yeah. But next week, who's our next comedian?
[00:59:36] Speaker B: Next week we are going to do Joan Rivers.
[00:59:38] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, now you're. Now. Now you're good. He's good.
I like his choices.
[00:59:46] Speaker B: I was really torn between. There's not really a. Surprisingly enough, there's not an easy to find our. Well, just a Joan Rivers special online anywhere. It's all clips, you know, like, clips of her on the. On the Johnny Carson show, etc. You know, and so. But I was able to find two of them on YouTube.
One is 2006, one is 1984, and they both have the same title. They're both called An Audience with Joan Rivers, which seems to be. She's bas. Doing crowd work the whole time. Like, she's sitting up there on stage. She does her act, then she takes questions and she riffs on that for a while.
[01:00:19] Speaker A: No, it's like that rife.
[01:00:20] Speaker C: No, these aren't special. These are English.
[01:00:22] Speaker B: The one is England. Yeah, the 1984 one, at least. I don't know about the 2006 one.
[01:00:27] Speaker C: But they did a whole series of an audience with. And all the people asking the questions are celebrities. But you don't probably know that because.
[01:00:34] Speaker B: That'S why they said their name in the beginning. Yeah. All right. So I only watched, like, the first. You know, I kind of watched it for a minute to make sure it wasn't bullshit, you know, and. And that it was, like, a decent video to pick.
[01:00:44] Speaker C: But they were big things. Like, they did one with Peter Ustinoff. They did one with Dame Edna. Average.
[01:00:51] Speaker A: Ugh.
[01:00:51] Speaker C: They did, like, anyone who's like, a raconteur.
[01:00:54] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay.
[01:00:55] Speaker C: They did an audience with.
[01:00:56] Speaker B: Well, the 1984. When it seems like she's doing a lot of her act, like she's using the questions to springboard her. Like doing. Talking about Edgar, going into jokes. Right.
[01:01:04] Speaker A: Her husband, comic foil.
[01:01:07] Speaker C: Huge in England.
[01:01:08] Speaker A: Really?
[01:01:08] Speaker C: That's.
[01:01:09] Speaker B: So that's. Ultimately. That's the one that I picked. Ultimately, however, that I did watch the first two minutes of the 2006 one, and it had me laughing pretty hard. So I'm gonna watch both of them.
[01:01:17] Speaker A: So wait a minute. What are we doing?
[01:01:19] Speaker B: We're doing the 1984 one. That's the official one. But if you feel like it, watch.
[01:01:23] Speaker A: The 200612 Joan Rivers 2 parter.
[01:01:27] Speaker B: Not necessarily. You only have to watch one part. But if you are so inclined and you would like to discuss anything of the second part, I will have knowledge on it.
[01:01:34] Speaker C: They're probably only half an hour each.
[01:01:36] Speaker A: They're.
[01:01:36] Speaker B: Yeah, they're, I think, like 43 minutes or something like that.
[01:01:40] Speaker A: Well, let's do them both.
[01:01:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay.
[01:01:42] Speaker A: Two parter. We only do that for the very best.
Dave Chappelle and Joan Rivers.
[01:01:47] Speaker B: Yeah. I was thinking about the Dave Chappelle went, too. Yeah. Because it'd be kind of interesting to see how she changed over the course.
[01:01:52] Speaker A: I don't think she changed at all, but. Yeah.
[01:01:53] Speaker B: Right. Yeah. Yeah, right. Or how much she didn't change. Right. Yeah, exactly.
[01:01:58] Speaker A: Yeah. That'll be fun. Joan Rivers would be fun.
[01:02:01] Speaker C: God, she was huge. She was like a God.
She came to England and no one had seen anything like her because she was just yapping off unfettered. At people.
[01:02:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
For. For a woman at that time. I mean, it's. Yeah. To be like that.
[01:02:18] Speaker C: And then she became, you know, the hot chat show person, because she would. People lining up to get like, re.
[01:02:27] Speaker A: Well, save this for next week's program.
[01:02:29] Speaker C: All right.
[01:02:29] Speaker A: Geez. You're going into deep analysis.
[01:02:32] Speaker B: We don't have to do next week now.
[01:02:34] Speaker A: Why?
[01:02:34] Speaker B: Because we just did it.
[01:02:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:02:36] Speaker B: All right.
[01:02:36] Speaker A: We're done.
[01:02:36] Speaker C: Okay.
[01:02:37] Speaker A: You already reviewed it big in England.
Unfettered.
[01:02:42] Speaker C: Can we talk? Can we talk?
[01:02:44] Speaker A: Can we talk?
[01:02:46] Speaker A: All right. Save it for the show.
[01:02:50] Speaker B: All right.
[01:02:50] Speaker C: Yep.
[01:02:51] Speaker B: All right.
