Review: Can I touch It, Whitney Cummings

[00:00:08] Speaker A: I met a guy yesterday by the lake. He was a very chatty fellow and he must have told me five times that he's not a pervert. And then he told me a whole bunch of instances where he'd hang out with people that dress scantily clad, but he doesn't touch them unless they ask him to. Then he might one of those things where he repeated himself so many times he kind of solidified. Okay, so you are a pervert. [00:00:32] Speaker B: Well, how did that come about? [00:00:33] Speaker A: I didn't ask him a goddamn question. He just started talking. I was sitting there. I was sitting there by Foster beach and he asked, hey, can I sit down here? And he just started yammering about his sexual escapades. Yeah, Chuck, if you're out there listening. [00:00:46] Speaker B: Hey, Chuck. [00:00:47] Speaker A: Talking about you. [00:00:49] Speaker B: Chuck's bailing me out right now. All right. Clean this up. Alright. Get rid of this shit. [00:00:52] Speaker C: I ain't got time for that. [00:00:53] Speaker B: You got to now. I didn't realize it was bad and now I'm gonna worry about it. [00:00:58] Speaker A: I don't think it was that bad. [00:00:59] Speaker C: I don't even think the sound effects up yet. [00:01:03] Speaker A: Ah, fuck. [00:01:04] Speaker B: Come on, man. [00:01:05] Speaker C: Oh, you set yourself an alarm. [00:01:09] Speaker A: Let me see if I can do it right now without it buzzing. [00:01:11] Speaker B: I've got a lot of listeners reaching out to me. [00:01:15] Speaker C: The message boards, message board, they're buzzing [00:01:18] Speaker B: and they want to get involved in the program. They want to call in. They have many things to say, specifically things to you. [00:01:25] Speaker C: Where's he going to get an adapter? [00:01:27] Speaker B: I would think that's on it. [00:01:31] Speaker A: Oh, whoa. That was the first drop. [00:01:33] Speaker B: Yeah, do something else. That was a drop that's being recorded. [00:01:39] Speaker A: Now we're rolling. [00:01:40] Speaker B: That's great. [00:01:41] Speaker A: No, I don't think it is though. Cuz it's got to be [00:01:45] Speaker C: headphones. [00:01:45] Speaker A: Yeah, I know, but you have to set the channel to record before you start recording or else it won't record the channel. And it's on a channel that's not set three. I could stop and hit record and we could these together. Yep. [00:01:58] Speaker B: We're doing a big edit job on this anyway. [00:02:00] Speaker C: Yeah, this is now. [00:02:02] Speaker A: Okay, I think now we're in. [00:02:04] Speaker C: Now we're in more. Yeah, we're in morning zoo territory. [00:02:07] Speaker A: Yes. [00:02:09] Speaker B: Oh my God, this is amazing. Why have we waited this long? [00:02:14] Speaker A: I know. Oh, this is great. [00:02:16] Speaker B: So give me. What do you got any trump sound bites you can do? [00:02:20] Speaker A: Oh, geez, I don't know. [00:02:21] Speaker B: What are you looking at over there? [00:02:22] Speaker A: It's a little soundboard. It's got laugh Booze, applause. Fart1. [00:02:27] Speaker B: Let's hear fart1. [00:02:28] Speaker A: We already heard fart1. That's the number one. I'm back. It's called. There's burp and There's Belch. [00:02:44] Speaker B: So now does this give you. Now you have the capability to grab sound bites that we can listen to. [00:02:49] Speaker A: Like if you don't know, for instance, [00:02:50] Speaker B: we wanted to like grab a sound bite from the pro from the special we're watching, right? [00:02:56] Speaker C: Yeah, well, we've always had that. [00:02:58] Speaker B: We have, yeah. How? [00:03:00] Speaker C: Just record the bastard. [00:03:03] Speaker B: And then what? Play it? Whatever. I don't need to get down in the weeds on that, but [00:03:09] Speaker C: I'm not a fan of that. [00:03:10] Speaker B: You like having no content from the. Yeah, but like in Cisco and Ebert they used to watch clips in the balcony, right? And then you'd watch clip. And then you get a little taste. [00:03:21] Speaker C: The clip's there just for promotional. [00:03:24] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:03:25] Speaker C: Trying to promote these. [00:03:26] Speaker B: No, we're not. No, we're not. [00:03:29] Speaker C: If people cared, they'd go watch it anyway. [00:03:31] Speaker B: Yeah, well, the next frontier for this program, now that we. And this is. This is a huge day in the history of. This is in the history of this show. [00:03:42] Speaker A: Change everything. [00:03:43] Speaker B: This is a game changer for sure. But the next game changer, and you don't have to rush into this now that we've got One at a time is having call ins because people are reaching out on the message boards. [00:03:54] Speaker A: I guess they could now they could call this phone and they'd probably record. Why don't you call me and find out? [00:03:58] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. They want to call in and they want to. They're listening to the show every week. They want to comment, they want to be on and talk. Specifically some people to you. [00:04:10] Speaker C: Mark, the guy who wants to bail. [00:04:13] Speaker B: There's one guy, I don't know what his. I don't know what this guy's real name is, but on the boards he goes by DJ Ramos. And DJ Ramos is tired of listening to you sing poor about your whole operation here and feels like you're really an idiot and you should be making money hand over fist in this place. He said comedy is huge. This non profit model is no good. Give DJ Ramos said give him a week, he'll come in here, turn this whole thing around, you pay the performers us, you're gonna be making mega bucks. [00:04:46] Speaker C: That's what DJ Ramos is he begging Ibiza. DJ Ramos. [00:04:50] Speaker B: I don't know what that means, but was dj. Oh, maybe his name is dj. I don't know that he's an actual dj like David John Ramos, Derek Johnson. [00:05:00] Speaker C: Not DJ from Roseanne. [00:05:04] Speaker B: No. Well, maybe. I don't know. I don't know who these people are. They're just the names. They're probably not even their real name. [00:05:08] Speaker C: They never did say his name. They just said dj. [00:05:13] Speaker B: Oh, DJ from Roseanne. [00:05:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:15] Speaker B: Well, it was DJ Connor. What do you mean? The last name was Connor is implied. [00:05:20] Speaker A: No, I thought. Wasn't DJ the boyfriend? No. No. Who's dj? [00:05:26] Speaker B: No, DJ was the. Was the girl on Full House. But he's talking about Roseanne. [00:05:32] Speaker A: Right. So who was DJ on Roseanne? [00:05:34] Speaker B: The Sun. [00:05:35] Speaker A: Oh, that was a son. No. Then it would be Connor. [00:05:38] Speaker B: Everything Mark has learned about America came from the show Roseanne. [00:05:42] Speaker C: Roseanne was. [00:05:43] Speaker A: Remember when Dan punched a hole in the wall? [00:05:46] Speaker C: That was every episode. [00:05:47] Speaker A: Oh, was it? [00:05:48] Speaker B: Because he was raging. [00:05:49] Speaker A: All right, I'm calling. Oh, yeah. Okay, here we go. Let's see. I'm picking up. I think I can. Hey. Hey. Yeah, it's working. [00:05:56] Speaker B: Is this working? Yeah. [00:05:57] Speaker C: Yeah. Whoa. It's meta. [00:05:59] Speaker A: Yeah. This is going to change everything. This is like when the one gorilla hits the other gorilla with the bone [00:06:07] Speaker B: and realizes, although this technology exists in every other podcast, it just has. [00:06:13] Speaker C: But you've got another call incoming, right? [00:06:15] Speaker A: No, that was him hanging up. [00:06:17] Speaker B: So do we need a show number? Like a 1, 800 number that people can. Every day from 12 to 1, and [00:06:26] Speaker A: we'll take every Wednesday. [00:06:28] Speaker C: If you want to buy a burner phone, go for it. [00:06:31] Speaker A: Get a Google voice number. [00:06:32] Speaker B: You'll get a Google voice number. [00:06:33] Speaker A: Yeah, it'll. [00:06:34] Speaker B: And we'll have a call his phone. Right. Because you're there. [00:06:36] Speaker A: You can connect your own phone number to it. [00:06:37] Speaker B: It's gonna be so amazing. [00:06:39] Speaker A: This is great. We can have. [00:06:40] Speaker B: Can't wait to get callers. This is. Yeah, this is what. This is what makes it, you know, compelling. You know, people. You don't know what's going to happen. [00:06:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:51] Speaker B: Who's gonna call in? [00:06:52] Speaker A: No idea. [00:06:52] Speaker C: They're gonna say, surging back to double digit. [00:06:56] Speaker A: I hope somebody calls me. [00:06:57] Speaker B: Well, but quickly, and then we'll move on. But what do you think about. DJ Ramos is saying that. That this place could make a ton of money if you would let it. Do you agree or disagree? You've been. You're on record for why you don't want to turn it into a comedy club. We know that. [00:07:08] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:07:09] Speaker B: But do you not see the earning potential of the Lincoln Lodge? No, no. You know better than DJ Ramos. [00:07:17] Speaker C: No, I mean, I. I understand the models and stuff. I mean, yeah, obviously comedy clubs make money or they wouldn't exist. It's just a sad existence to me. [00:07:29] Speaker B: Making money because it's existing anyway. It's just not making money. [00:07:33] Speaker C: According. A comedy club is a sad existence. [00:07:36] Speaker B: Yeah. And you just feel like you're not. By not making money. [00:07:41] Speaker C: A, I don't want a sad existence. B, this place has a mission, and that's. That is necessary. What do I always say, Christian? I always say if we end up running a bullet club. Shoot in the head. [00:07:55] Speaker B: Shoot you in the head. Yeah. Okay. Well, there you go. Dj. I know you're out there listening. I assume you know you're on the boards. You heard it from here, from him. Call in next week. [00:08:07] Speaker C: And we are a 501C3. DJ. Send us that check. [00:08:11] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. He'll take any donations. Yeah, well, that. Speaking of that, today's tax day. All the books closed up here for the year. Paid who you needed to pay. Are you getting money back? You already got the refund. [00:08:25] Speaker C: Oh, no. [00:08:27] Speaker A: For here. [00:08:27] Speaker C: For here. No. [00:08:28] Speaker A: Is it getting easier every year that you do it, or is it, like, piling up for here? [00:08:34] Speaker C: We're doing a bloody audit now, so it's a nightmare. [00:08:37] Speaker A: So if you're getting audited, does that mean you. You don't have to submit taxes by tax day? Yeah, because they're like, we're already looking at you, so it doesn't matter. [00:08:46] Speaker C: Yeah. I used to be utterly paranoid that if you missed the tax deadline, you'd literally wake up to a cop, man. Yeah, right, right. [00:08:53] Speaker B: You're right. [00:08:55] Speaker C: I was reading. I just read it. We just got a document from the irs. [00:08:59] Speaker B: It's always scary. [00:09:01] Speaker C: No, no, we asked for it. We were like, can you please confirm we're still a 501C3 in good standing? Because that way, you know, Pete, when you try and get stuff tax free, they say, give us your. Gives you notice. And the notice was like, if you fail to file for three years, we may revoke your tax, you know? [00:09:23] Speaker A: Three years. [00:09:24] Speaker C: Three years. That's how you get all this. [00:09:27] Speaker B: Like, you get three years to not file your taxes. Then we might. Then we might slap you with a. Yeah. Not good standing. [00:09:33] Speaker C: I'm like, you're the irs. Like, kick the door down on. On, you know, the 16th. Right. You're all going to jail. That's how you get all this Willie Nelson. [00:09:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:43] Speaker C: Going on. [00:09:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Then people just. They don't do it. I don't want to tempt the fates here, even talking about it, but I think with Trump, he's, you know, cut the legs off the IRS because obviously he hates the IRS from his many years of being. [00:09:56] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I don't know. Because last year I was paranoid that I wouldn't get my refund. You know, they'd just be like, yeah, we haven't got. They've been handing them out. I always pitch for the refund. I always overpay. And I thought, oh man, with Trump, you know, they're just going to say no refunds for, for a year. We haven't got the staff. I mean, it came. [00:10:18] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Now by the. I don't talk too much about it, but is a non profit, do they. I know you file taxes, but do you get a refund for a non profit? Not your personal return, but for the business or whatever entity this is, do you get. No, because you don't pay taxes. [00:10:38] Speaker C: You don't pay them, so. [00:10:39] Speaker B: Right. You don't pay anything. [00:10:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:40] Speaker B: Hey, can I get that number so I can go to the wholesale place and buy shit without paying taxes? [00:10:46] Speaker C: No. [00:10:46] Speaker B: You got that number? [00:10:47] Speaker A: That's a good idea. [00:10:48] Speaker C: No, the whole side. [00:10:48] Speaker B: Restaurant Depot, you go there? [00:10:49] Speaker C: No, no, no. You have to pay taxes there. That's Illinois. [00:10:53] Speaker A: Not at Menards. [00:10:54] Speaker B: No. [00:10:55] Speaker A: All right. Hey, did you know that. [00:10:56] Speaker C: Yeah. The only one. We, we have it in Menards. I did have it at Micro center, but they said it had lapsed. [00:11:03] Speaker B: But what about like a wholesale joint like Restaurant Depot or something like that? I don't think you have to. That's what the whole thing is for though. If you're a nonprofit, you don't have to pay those taxes on wholesale goods. [00:11:12] Speaker C: We buy a ton. We buy 10 grands of worth of liquor every month and we ain't getting the tax on. [00:11:17] Speaker B: I don't think liquor is part of it. But like your crisps. Crisps. [00:11:23] Speaker C: I don't think so. I don't. I mean, I could look into it, [00:11:26] Speaker B: but yeah, let's get a Restaurant Depot card. [00:11:29] Speaker C: I mean, plus, you can't be taking the piss, you know, they're gonna. If you start buying thousand tens of thousands of dollars of goods, they're gonna go, what's this got to do with your not. What does a three piece suite and bed have to do with your. Your nonprofit? You know what I mean? [00:11:47] Speaker B: Casting couch, Tom. [00:11:49] Speaker C: So I do keep all the receipts, literally and mentally. [00:11:53] Speaker B: You do? Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, that's been. Tax corner. Tax corner, British tax corner. What is tax day like in Britain? Is it similar to this? [00:12:03] Speaker C: There isn't a tax day in Britain. [00:12:04] Speaker B: No taxes. [00:12:05] Speaker C: No, we pay our taxes. We're not tax dodgers. People pay them and there's no wrangling. [00:12:10] Speaker B: Would you get a refund over there? [00:12:12] Speaker C: The only time I ever even had to deal with tax people is when you get a new job. You get put on what's called emergency tax rate until they figure out your tax. [00:12:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:24] Speaker C: And then you get a refund that year because you will have slightly overpaid for a few months. [00:12:29] Speaker B: You don't have to file anything. [00:12:30] Speaker C: No, we have to file. [00:12:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Why the fuck do we have to do that? There was something in the paper today about, you know, like because you. [00:12:35] Speaker C: Tax dodges. That's what this nation is founded on is trying to dodge tax. [00:12:40] Speaker B: Oh yeah. [00:12:40] Speaker A: That. [00:12:40] Speaker B: The whole thing with the Revolutionary War [00:12:43] Speaker A: with the British tea. [00:12:44] Speaker B: Because they wanted to tax the tea. [00:12:46] Speaker A: Yeah. They threw it all in the water. So forget this. [00:12:49] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:50] Speaker B: Oh yeah. [00:12:50] Speaker A: It's all wet. [00:12:51] Speaker B: That's right. [00:12:52] Speaker C: And the, the argument oh we don't have a vote. Why should we get taxed if we have a vote? No taxation without representation. So that's why I live in America, have no vote and pay a shitload of tax every year. [00:13:06] Speaker A: That's kind of weird. [00:13:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:07] Speaker C: Not hypocritical. [00:13:09] Speaker B: No. You got double fucked. Yeah. Sounds like. [00:13:12] Speaker C: Yep. [00:13:13] Speaker B: Yeah. But the article today, I didn't read it but I just read the headlines like if we. We spend the average American. How much time do you think the average American spends on their tax return? [00:13:25] Speaker A: Time wise this year I got lucky. It was like an hour. [00:13:27] Speaker B: Just one hour. [00:13:28] Speaker A: That's it. [00:13:29] Speaker B: Yours is easier. Personal. Right. [00:13:32] Speaker C: Aalp dude, that's amazing. [00:13:35] Speaker B: Well if you're an hour mine because of my little small business that I have took me probably 20 hours. [00:13:42] Speaker A: Wow. [00:13:43] Speaker B: Of just auditing everything I spent and figuring out what goes where for expenses. The average American spends 12 hours on their taxes. [00:13:53] Speaker A: That's nuts. [00:13:54] Speaker B: It seems a high. [00:13:55] Speaker A: That's a lot of time. [00:13:57] Speaker B: And the argument was in the article that if we put that amount of time. 12 hours. Every American towards something that know was more productive or generated income. We'd. We'd produce billions of dollars of income. [00:14:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:14] Speaker B: Losing it. [00:14:15] Speaker A: A whole market would disappear though too. You know. Tax accountants, etc. [00:14:19] Speaker B: True. [00:14:20] Speaker A: That's a. That's a whole. [00:14:22] Speaker B: Who's going to cry for the cpa? I guess. [00:14:26] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:26] Speaker B: We still need accountants for business purposes. [00:14:28] Speaker A: Sure. Like when you get your tax. You know. I don't know. That's a big if nobody needed a tax person anymore. Which this year I didn't. I used freetaxusa.com it's a free service. [00:14:39] Speaker B: Just punch in the numbers, that's it. And then hit submit. [00:14:42] Speaker A: Yep. [00:14:43] Speaker C: I thought about doing something like that, but as an immigrant, I was impressed. [00:14:48] Speaker B: Dodgy time for you. A lot of immigrants, they were also talking about this. They don't want to file their taxes. Right. If they don't have a Social Security number, they traditionally do, but not this year because they're afraid if they submit it, they're giving their address and ICE is going to show up and scoop them up. [00:15:02] Speaker C: That's what I go get. How can you be paying taxes without an ssn? [00:15:07] Speaker B: IRS doesn't care. You can. Anyone can submit a tax return even without. [00:15:11] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. That is staggering to me that the government departments literally just don't even talk to each other. [00:15:17] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I bet they do. [00:15:19] Speaker C: I mean, dealing with Chicago City, they don't talk to each other. Chicago city doesn't talk to Springfield. Springfield. Neil doesn't talk to the irs. [00:15:31] Speaker B: It's a broken system. Yep. You know, very parochial. Parochial? That means religious. [00:15:38] Speaker A: The puppet, his nose grew. [00:15:40] Speaker B: Parochial doesn't mean. I said I go to parochial school. Means I go to. What are they laughing about, those people? [00:15:49] Speaker A: My Pinocchio joke. [00:15:50] Speaker B: Oh, [00:15:53] Speaker C: no. Parochial means appertaining to the parish. It means it's very religious. It's not religious. It just means it's, it's small minded. It's my little world. I'm thinking about my little world all the time. [00:16:06] Speaker B: But if I said, here I send my kids to parochial school. You heard that term that means they go to Catholic or some kind of religious school. They don't go to public school. They go to parochial school. I always thought that meant. Well, you got the meaning of obtaining two religion. I'll look it up. [00:16:20] Speaker C: It means small minded and whatever. [00:16:23] Speaker B: All right, all right. [00:16:26] Speaker A: Well, let's. [00:16:27] Speaker B: We'll get to our comedian, Whitney Cummings. Cummings. [00:16:31] Speaker A: Cummings. [00:16:32] Speaker B: I used to have a friend named Mike Cumming. Well, he wasn't really a friend, he's an acquaintance. I was always wondering like, isn't it Cummings not coming? Like, my name's Mike Cumming. [00:16:42] Speaker A: Yeah, that's weird. That is weird. [00:16:44] Speaker B: Like Whitney Cumming. [00:16:45] Speaker A: Did they drop the S or was it just always like, I don't know what, I was somebody in the family. [00:16:49] Speaker B: Hilarious. [00:16:49] Speaker A: And changed the name at one point. [00:16:51] Speaker B: I don't know. But he didn't really want to talk about it. [00:16:54] Speaker C: You need the slide whistle. [00:16:56] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know if it has that. [00:16:57] Speaker C: You gotta Find I might have to [00:16:59] Speaker A: get a better app. Doesn't have a lot of it. Doesn't have a lot to choose from. [00:17:03] Speaker C: If I send you the MP3s, can you add them to your board? [00:17:07] Speaker A: I wonder? [00:17:08] Speaker B: You could. This could be like the beginning of a career for you. Yeah. Being like a brand because it's so huge. You could become this great podcast producer with all these drops and all this. People be like, yeah, podcast. [00:17:20] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:20] Speaker B: Instead of just the guy that books the room. [00:17:22] Speaker A: Yeah. You know, I could even record myself making the noises. [00:17:25] Speaker B: You could become the Steve Albini of podcasts. [00:17:27] Speaker A: That could be the Steve Albini. [00:17:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:30] Speaker C: You know, famous. Famous catch. No. Well, we talked about the one. The soundboard I used to love was the casino one with all the Pesci and De Niro like, quotes on it [00:17:42] Speaker B: where you just hit him. [00:17:43] Speaker C: He's just him. So this guy who's got those, they were on like, some guy had a whole, like loads of them. And he's like, here, you know, I made a Joe Pesci soundboard. [00:17:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:52] Speaker C: And then just randomly called people and you just get the. Pick the phone up and Joe Pesci's screaming down the phone at them, like, what's like one of the things, like, I order, you know, whatever the guy we need, the guy picks the phone up and it's Joe Pesci. I oughta fucking kick. And the guy's like, kind of like [00:18:11] Speaker B: the Home Alone bit where they got the gangster. Yeah, yeah, get out of here, you dirty animal. Get your pizza. Now listen as background for great the best podcasts, the podcast that does the drops the best is Office Hours with Tim Heidecker. I know you don't listen to podcasts, but just listen to a couple. Vic. Can't remember Vic's last name. Vic is the pop. Is the drop guy. He's got the best drops of all. Like, it's just drop dropped all the time. And they're so good. [00:18:45] Speaker C: Steve O. Harvey. [00:18:46] Speaker B: Hear me over there, sound guy? [00:18:47] Speaker A: I'm looking for a slide whistle. [00:18:48] Speaker B: Okay. [00:18:49] Speaker C: Steve O. Harvey, when he would host the Lodge. That's good one. [00:18:53] Speaker B: That's like the Debbie Down. [00:18:54] Speaker A: I didn't wanna. I didn't Rachel Thrash, like, but I had to know. I want to save that. [00:18:59] Speaker B: Oh, that's a good out there. [00:19:00] Speaker C: Now, like when. [00:19:01] Speaker B: How about gone? [00:19:02] Speaker C: When Bill's complaining about his love life. You could. Yeah, my old lady. My old ladies you shown to. [00:19:08] Speaker B: That's how I talk. [00:19:09] Speaker C: Yeah. Like. Like Aldi made a. A Norm McDonald is how I always Aldi. [00:19:15] Speaker B: Like, oh, Aldi. I'm like a poor man's normal town. Hey, hey, [00:19:22] Speaker C: hey. My old lady, she. [00:19:23] Speaker B: That's Rodney. [00:19:24] Speaker C: Yeah, that's Rodney Danger. [00:19:25] Speaker B: I don't talk like him. [00:19:26] Speaker C: Then you could sling that in at the end. [00:19:30] Speaker B: Grim shots. Very nice. You're going to have a blast. [00:19:32] Speaker A: This is great. [00:19:33] Speaker C: This has so. Yeah, well, I was saying I used to use rim shots when Steve O. Harvey was hosting the lodge, and he loved it. He was just like, all the merrier. Until by the end. By the end of the set, I'm just like. It's like a Neil Peart drum solo by the end. [00:19:51] Speaker B: That's great. [00:19:54] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:19:56] Speaker B: All right, well, we'll get to Whitney Cummings, which I'm excited to talk about today. I didn't think I would be, but I am now. [00:20:05] Speaker C: I do have an agenda item if. [00:20:06] Speaker B: Okay. [00:20:07] Speaker A: Yeah, what is it? [00:20:07] Speaker B: Well, it better be the Blackhawks game, but go ahead. [00:20:10] Speaker C: No, no, I'll leave that to you. Before we get to the Whitney Cummings, I did I bring up, I think I mentioned in passing, I'm not sure, on the podcast, a text thread of David Angelo sending a Christmas card. [00:20:23] Speaker B: Yeah, no, we talked about it the other night at the game, but I was gonna say, like, did you think about reaching out to Whitney Cummings because you have her email address. [00:20:32] Speaker C: Yeah, well, this is what I wanted to point out. So I used to be on this. This annual Christmas card from David Angelo. You know, David Angelo, and the whole thing collapsed. It was really good writer for the Daily show, really funny. And his Christmas cards, you know, pictures were hilarious. And he just send them electronically every year. And this went on for like a decade. And in the end, this is final one. He accidentally cc'd his entire thing instead of BCC. [00:21:02] Speaker A: Right. [00:21:03] Speaker C: So 200 people now can reply all. [00:21:08] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:21:09] Speaker C: To his car. [00:21:12] Speaker A: I was too late. Yeah. [00:21:14] Speaker B: What was it gonna be? Rim shots. [00:21:16] Speaker A: I wasn't sure yet, but you have to refresh the screen. I gotta get better at this. [00:21:19] Speaker C: You'd have to do the wah, wah, wah, wah. So anyway, two. So he ccs accidentally 200 people, most of whom are comedians, and obviously immediately realizes this is a disaster now. So people start replying, oil all. And in the end, he begs them to stop. He's like, guys, this was hugely embarrassing mistake for me. And you just. And it's like, it's never going to stop, dude. It's never going to stop. But the remarkable part was Whitney Cummings was one of the respondees. And so I went back to that thread because, oh, you did? Yeah. I said last night when we were talking about it, and it's a who's who, man. [00:21:57] Speaker B: Really? [00:21:57] Speaker C: Who's on that list? So Nikki Glazer. [00:21:59] Speaker B: Really? [00:22:00] Speaker C: Whitney Cummings. Eliza Schlesinger. John Mulaney. [00:22:05] Speaker B: What? [00:22:06] Speaker C: Neil Middleton. What's his name? Thomas Middleditch. Yeah, you know, I mean, this command. Tj, Nick Kroll is on there. Mark Norman, Hannibal, Pete Holmes, Rory Scovell. I'm like, holy crap. This is. This is the Glengarry Glen Ross Lee. Yeah, right here. They're all on. And then this. There's me and a bunch of local yokels. So McGannon's on there. [00:22:31] Speaker B: McGannon's on there? [00:22:33] Speaker C: Yeah. Aaron Foster's on there. [00:22:35] Speaker B: How do. I didn't get on there. [00:22:36] Speaker C: Beavers on there. Mike Olson is on there. You're not on there. He obviously hated you. But here's. Here's what I wanted to get to. Two. Two that really matter. That struck. That really struck with me. So those I could see. He's on the Daily Show. He knows heavy hitters. Two surprising names on there. The first one was Karen Kilgariff, who runs the original true crime podcast with nearly a million followers on it. So we were, you know, so. And she was on Mr. Show, if you remember. [00:23:09] Speaker B: Oh, Laura Kilgallan. [00:23:11] Speaker C: No, no, no, no, no. Karen killed Gareth, killed Garrett. She wasn't, like, majorly front and center until Martin. [00:23:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:18] Speaker C: But I bet if you saw it, you'd be like, yeah, I know. Oh, yeah, yeah. But then the one that surprised me the most is Greg Gutfeld. [00:23:26] Speaker B: Gutfeld from the political guy? [00:23:27] Speaker C: Yeah, he's on there. Yeah. Because. [00:23:30] Speaker B: Because he's huge. [00:23:31] Speaker C: Yeah, he's Fox News huge. [00:23:33] Speaker B: My brother loves Gutfeld. Yeah. [00:23:35] Speaker C: And so. And I always knew that Angelo's been on Gutfeld a few times, so I was like, holy. Like, that's a. [00:23:40] Speaker B: Who's. When was that email sent out? When was that chain live? [00:23:43] Speaker C: I think it was just prior to lockdown, based on one of the last comments. [00:23:50] Speaker B: Yeah. I can't believe McGannon is on there. [00:23:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:23:53] Speaker B: How did he get on there? [00:23:55] Speaker C: There's a whole bunch of local. Yoko Vanna. [00:23:57] Speaker B: Did he get on there? [00:23:58] Speaker C: I don't think. [00:23:59] Speaker B: I don't think CJ's got to be on there. [00:24:01] Speaker C: CJ's on his old C. Bill Brasky email. Do you remember that? [00:24:05] Speaker B: I think he. Yeah, see, Bill Brasky. [00:24:08] Speaker C: I don't think he's used that for a decade or so. [00:24:10] Speaker B: Well, I thought maybe with the email address, you might reach out to Whitney and say, hey, we're reviewing your 2019 podcast. [00:24:17] Speaker C: I. I think it's a day. I think it's a dead address because it's an old Mac. [00:24:21] Speaker B: Oh one. [00:24:23] Speaker C: And there's so many names on there that you can't work out who it [00:24:27] Speaker B: was, but it could be somebody. [00:24:28] Speaker C: Could be. [00:24:29] Speaker B: Yeah, it could be Sandler. [00:24:30] Speaker C: It could be, you know. [00:24:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:33] Speaker C: You know. You know, maybe he has like a. An email, like monkey boy 12. [00:24:37] Speaker B: And yeah, you would know if it was him. [00:24:39] Speaker C: That's him, you know. [00:24:41] Speaker B: Did you think about re. [00:24:43] Speaker C: Redoing the chain, bring it back up just to. [00:24:46] Speaker B: With them. I'm back. Hey, do the. [00:24:50] Speaker A: I'm back. Oh, I got rid of it already. I was never going to use it. Yeah, it was, it was too long. [00:24:56] Speaker B: What if we got like a shitty old. An old computer, right? [00:25:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:01] Speaker B: And we brought that in and just sits there all the time and it has all. So you don't have to fuck with your phone. [00:25:05] Speaker A: You don't even need an old one. I mean, I'll bet one of the computers in the office up. Yeah, probably use that. [00:25:11] Speaker B: That has WI fi. [00:25:12] Speaker A: That way the screen doesn't keep turning off and I don't have to keep hitting, you know, touching it to keep it alive. [00:25:17] Speaker B: You can also take the call through it on Google. [00:25:20] Speaker A: Yeah. You can take those through your laptop. Yeah, you can. Yeah, I could just bring my own laptop then. I think that'd be easier. [00:25:25] Speaker C: There's got to be a soundboard app. Free sound. [00:25:28] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. [00:25:30] Speaker B: This is. You know what? This is good for us. [00:25:32] Speaker A: Everything. [00:25:33] Speaker B: This is good for us as a show, but it's good for Lincoln Lodge podcast enterprise. Right. Just up the game here. Gotta get this TV going. [00:25:44] Speaker C: People don't want to pay. You can. [00:25:47] Speaker B: You can. [00:25:48] Speaker C: Vouchers. People don't want to pay to. [00:25:50] Speaker A: For what? [00:25:51] Speaker B: Not, not when they know you give it away here. You're giving the cow. [00:25:54] Speaker A: Yeah, it's, it's, it's tough. [00:25:56] Speaker C: You. You try and get someone, hey, can I use your podcast room? Yeah, it's whatever. Dollars an hour money, Right. [00:26:04] Speaker A: Then they'll do one and then they won't do another. Yep, they'll do one week. Yeah, they'll see that. They have to also do a little bit of work when it comes to the editing or whatever, you know, and then, yeah, they say, oh, let's do it again. I'll never hear from them again. [00:26:18] Speaker C: When we were, when we first started this and we got a lot of as time wasters, I said all right, here's what we're going to do. If someone wants to do a podcast, they're going to submit the outline for the first three podcasts that. [00:26:31] Speaker B: What do you give a. They pay. You don't give? [00:26:33] Speaker C: No, I want to throw it in here around, you know, it was a cost. It had a cost attached to it. And so you'd be amazed. That's like 90 of people gone. First hurdle. [00:26:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:46] Speaker C: You want me to plan three episodes? Yeah, yeah. Like, what is it gonna be if you don't even know? [00:26:52] Speaker B: So but you're still taking bookings in here? [00:26:55] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:26:56] Speaker B: All right. He does. [00:26:57] Speaker A: Yeah, we just had a new one last week. The other thing, people don't read the emails. They'll walk in and be like, all right, so how many. How many camera angles can I get? After, I'll tell them, this is audio, you know, like, we're not filming in here unless you bring your own equipment. And I'll explain all of this in the emails. We have the cameras. If you want to bring your own laptop with the software and you know how to use it, you can plug it in and we can film it. And they'll say, yeah, yeah, okay, okay. And they'll get here and they'll go, why aren't the cameras on? Did you read the email? And they'll say, of course I read the email. No, you didn't. [00:27:29] Speaker B: No, you didn't. [00:27:30] Speaker A: They never read the email. [00:27:31] Speaker B: Yeah, well, for us anyway, you know, the cameras are there when we're ready, when we hit the big one. [00:27:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:37] Speaker B: They're demanding we. [00:27:38] Speaker A: One thing at a time. You know, we can't expose everything at once. It's got to be the soundboard with the birds. And then it's got to be someday the cameras. [00:27:45] Speaker C: I mean, it should be plug and play right straight into that I 10min. [00:27:48] Speaker A: I think. So I've used it before with. With someone that knew what they were doing. They already had it set up and I just had to sit here. [00:27:53] Speaker B: And you just flip what, the cameras? [00:27:56] Speaker A: Yeah, the angles. It's actually. It's kind of a fun game, you know, switching from one face to another. Wide view you can do. [00:28:03] Speaker C: You can do a hot. A live hot edit, right? [00:28:05] Speaker A: Y. [00:28:05] Speaker C: So you just. Because you're not going to sit there taking four camera feeds and edit the. So he sits there and he hits boom. [00:28:15] Speaker A: Like, one would be on somebody's face, two will be on somebody else's face, three. [00:28:18] Speaker B: So, like, when he would start talking it. You'd hit that camera. [00:28:21] Speaker A: Yeah, like Anticipate who's going to be talking, you know? Yeah. You gotta. You gotta pay attention. [00:28:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:26] Speaker C: But you make it more fun to tech it, because now it does. [00:28:29] Speaker A: Right. You're not just sitting there watching the timer. The worst thing is this timer. You know, when you got nothing to say on the podcast, you know, if it's like somebody else's recording there and of something that's no interest to you at all. And this timer keeps reminding you how long you've been sitting in this chair. It's brutal. [00:28:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Literally watching the clock. [00:28:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:46] Speaker C: But at least if you're doing video. [00:28:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:49] Speaker C: If you. [00:28:49] Speaker A: If you're doing something to keep your mind active, it's completely different. Yeah, exactly. Like a dj. [00:28:55] Speaker B: No, I think this place, you know, I know you've. You're down on it, but I think it's gonna. It's gonna. [00:29:01] Speaker C: Why? Elephant. [00:29:02] Speaker B: No, I think in the end, I think this is. It's going to be big in here. All right, let's talk about the Blackhawks game, the much anticipated Blackhawks game. We've been talking about going out together. [00:29:12] Speaker C: Our team building exercise, our team building activity. [00:29:16] Speaker B: The three of us together on the town. We haven't been out on the town before. First time we've been out on the town. [00:29:22] Speaker C: I've been to the Lords of Acid with you. [00:29:24] Speaker B: Yeah. 28 years ago, I think we went to see Lords of Acid. And so Monday night we went and saw the Blackhawks, the Sabres vs. Sabres Christians team, who I just picked up from the. The blokes around us. Sabers fans. Seemed there was like. There's many Sabers fans there as Blackhawks. [00:29:42] Speaker A: I would say there was more Sabers fans than Blackhawks fans at that game. [00:29:46] Speaker B: No argument that that was a clinching game. [00:29:49] Speaker A: They won the Atlantic Division. [00:29:50] Speaker B: They won the Atlantic Division with that win. You hear those blokes in front of us talking about it. [00:29:54] Speaker C: Yeah. Number one, I'm gonna be honest, that was without a doubt the most boring hockey game like I've seen. [00:30:00] Speaker B: Well, probably not for him because he saw five goals. [00:30:03] Speaker A: I saw five goals. [00:30:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:04] Speaker A: For the good guys. [00:30:05] Speaker C: Let's face it, though, it was boring. Blackhawks. [00:30:08] Speaker A: It wasn't very exciting. Yeah, there wasn't a lot. [00:30:11] Speaker B: I was really into it when I got there in the first period. And I want to say I. You know, as we climb to the. The crow's nest of the United Center, I've never been up quite that high. [00:30:23] Speaker A: Right. You guys were up there. [00:30:24] Speaker B: We were in the last row, more or less. [00:30:26] Speaker A: And I thought there's gonna be a lot of seats available, so you guys could just kind of come down and sit by us. Like, that's what happened a couple months [00:30:31] Speaker C: ago when I was like, stole our seats. Just FYI. [00:30:34] Speaker A: I thought you guys left for a second. Cause I kept looking up there, you know, and then I was texting. Cause I saw Bill was on his phone, so I thought, well, this is a good way to communicate because he's already looking at his phone. [00:30:43] Speaker B: Diagnosed. [00:30:44] Speaker A: Yeah. I didn't get any texts back. [00:30:45] Speaker B: What was I looking at on the phone? I was looking something up. Oh, you know what I was looking at? [00:30:50] Speaker C: You were watching kids fight. [00:30:51] Speaker B: No, that was later. I was looking up because I was so enamored with the experience. Right off the bat, we get up there and I'm like, oh, my God, I'm going to puke up here. It's getting vertigo. But then you get such a great view of the ice. For basketball. It's awful. It's just. You get me out of here. But for hockey, the way the puck moves and the way the players move, it's a perfect bird's eye view. That high. So immediately I'm looking for season tickets. [00:31:17] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:31:18] Speaker B: Yeah. I was pricing out the season tickets, trying to talk Mark into getting the season tickets. Splitting one for that seat that we were in. [00:31:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:25] Speaker B: How much do you think it would cost for 41 games in that top of the rafter seat? [00:31:31] Speaker A: $3,500. [00:31:33] Speaker B: Oh, you might be in. In the market. It was only 2500. That's not bad for one seat. So Mark and I and Heather are getting. Honey, you're hearing it here first. I haven't talked to you about this. We're getting season tickets to the 2026 season. 27th season. Mark, Heather and I. Congratulations. [00:31:51] Speaker C: Pain to watch that shite. [00:31:54] Speaker B: Yeah, the Blackhawks aren't good, but I don't waste any time. [00:31:58] Speaker C: Six shots on goal through the first two periods. [00:32:02] Speaker A: That's pretty brutal. Didn't they only. [00:32:04] Speaker B: They won right off the bat. [00:32:05] Speaker A: They were only playing their prospects though, weren't they? Because, you know, they're already. I mean, they're so far out of the playoffs. They weren't playing their. Their Bertuzzi. They're starting Frank Nazar. Were they Bedard. [00:32:15] Speaker B: They all did very well. [00:32:16] Speaker C: But Dog was never. [00:32:17] Speaker B: He was in there. [00:32:18] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. He slipped on the puck. [00:32:20] Speaker B: He did? [00:32:21] Speaker A: Yeah. You see that? He slipped twice. One time he stepped on the puck and he fell over. [00:32:25] Speaker C: Oh, I thought his skate. I said to you at the time, I Said his skate must have broke or something. You don't fall. [00:32:31] Speaker A: They've got those. They've got the skate blades that pop off easily, so they can switch them, you know? But the downside is then sometimes they just pop off if you're. If you're turning too hard or something. But in his case, it popped off because he stepped on the puck. [00:32:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:43] Speaker A: And he broke his own skate blade. Then he. Then he was immobile, and then he [00:32:47] Speaker C: fell over again, like, 10 seconds later. [00:32:50] Speaker A: Fell over twice. [00:32:50] Speaker B: It wasn't his best skate. [00:32:51] Speaker A: Embarrassing. [00:32:52] Speaker C: This should be a one for that. [00:32:56] Speaker A: Had it ready. [00:32:57] Speaker B: He was ready to go. [00:32:59] Speaker A: I was at a game at Madison Square Garden. The referee fell over out of nowhere in the corner. At one point, he looked like he was drunk. He just kind of like. Like the play was happening kind of close to him, and he just wiped out. He fell over. And everybody's kind of like, what's up with this guy? And then he made a really bad call that everyone's like, is this guy. Is he. Is he okay? And then the next period, he got blasted in the face with a puck. Oh, yeah. He had a rough day. It was a bad one. [00:33:24] Speaker C: Wow. [00:33:25] Speaker B: Well, it wasn't the best game, but I really did enjoy the outing. Being with Mark up there on a. On a date. My only remiss would be that we didn't get to spend more time together, the three of us, you know? [00:33:44] Speaker A: Yeah. I thought we were going to be able. Like I said, we'd spend the time at the game. [00:33:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:49] Speaker A: Closer seats. [00:33:50] Speaker B: Yeah. If I hadn't seen you at the bar before, and I wouldn't have seen you at all. [00:33:55] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right. [00:33:57] Speaker B: Now, when we left, we got a text from you that you had already boarded the bus. [00:34:07] Speaker A: Yes. [00:34:08] Speaker B: And then I sent a text saying, you're unbelievable. You're unbelievable. Now, we. We had. We hadn't seen you the whole time. You ran out of the place, and then you jumped on the bus. I could. And I thought about it all night, you know, and I talked to him about it. I go, is he mad at us? [00:34:25] Speaker A: I want to get there before I gave you a chance to be on the same bus. [00:34:30] Speaker B: Did I offend you at some point? [00:34:32] Speaker A: Greatly, yeah. When he didn't reply to my text [00:34:34] Speaker B: once we got there, we never saw you again. [00:34:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. When I was snubbed from the text, I said, you know what? I'm running to the bus halfway through the third period, and I'm getting out of here. [00:34:42] Speaker B: It seemed that way. And I was taking it personally. And saying. Did I say something out of line to him? Did I offend him earlier? But then that was put to bed. When at the bus stop, who do we see but your other friend, Mr. Brian LaRue. Brian Laraux, who was also in the same state of confusion about why he had been ditched by you. [00:35:08] Speaker A: He was in line for the bathroom with his friend. Okay. So here's what happened. I had that extra ticket. Right. [00:35:14] Speaker B: Right. [00:35:14] Speaker A: And I couldn't find anybody that wanted it. And Brian said, I have a friend that would take it. And I said, give it to him. At least somebody gets to use it. I don't know this guy, but give it to him. But I had all the tickets on my phone, and they were not transferable, so I had to wait for the guy to show up on his bike outside. So he missed the whole intro, missed the whole beginning of the game. [00:35:31] Speaker B: Oh, you did? [00:35:31] Speaker A: When did you get in all the fun stuff? I mean, midway through the first. No, no, not midway. It was like a few minutes in, I think. Oh. We made eye contact, though. When I finally got in there, I had my polish wave to. Yeah. [00:35:45] Speaker B: Then that was it. [00:35:46] Speaker A: Yeah. I kept looking back, and I was sending this. Yeah. So, you know, but I was. For the record, I even told you at one point there's seats available next to me now because people started leaving. [00:35:56] Speaker B: You did? [00:35:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:57] Speaker C: I only got. [00:35:57] Speaker A: Look at the text thread. [00:35:58] Speaker C: I got a text about someone selling sliders. [00:36:03] Speaker A: Yeah. We have filet mignon sliders at the Gibsons on the hundred level. But anyway. Yeah. So then. [00:36:11] Speaker B: So there was nothing. I said, no. [00:36:12] Speaker A: Then the game. Right. And so it's time to go then. And then Brian was in line for the bathroom with his friend. And I'm realizing, I mean, we don't really have to wait here, do we? I even turned to Alberto. I said, what do you think? Do we have to wait for these guys to be like, this line is long and I'm ready to go? You know, we're all well into adulthood. We can navigate our way to a bus stop. So I looked at Brian. I said, hey, I'm leaving. I'm getting on the bus and going. Cause also, his friend then has to go get his bike and everything, you know, Then you're like, I mean, I could be halfway home by the time they even get out of this line. So I said, I'm getting out of here. I'm leaving. So I went. And there just happened to be. Happened to be a bus leaving right then. And there were a couple More behind it. Loading. Which is when I then. [00:36:57] Speaker C: Right, so then you have a sound effect for a car speeding off. [00:37:02] Speaker B: Speeding car leaving skid marks. [00:37:08] Speaker A: Oh, vehicles. Yeah. [00:37:09] Speaker C: Oh, the Roadrunner. Yeah. [00:37:11] Speaker B: There we go. So here we are, the friends of Christian McCann sitting on the curb, the three of us, well, you know, left in the dust. [00:37:23] Speaker A: I heard that you sat around forever watching videos and then decided that you wanted to use the bathroom somewhere else, and so you went to the store. [00:37:31] Speaker B: How did you hear all this? You told them all this? [00:37:33] Speaker A: No, it was. It was on the news, on WGN Morning News. [00:37:37] Speaker C: We were chatting about it yesterday. And I said, well, he was sitting there watching team fight videos, so are [00:37:43] Speaker A: they supposed to wait for all the world star videos? [00:37:45] Speaker C: And then. I know. I was mainly telling him about my whole run in with the 100 lady. The 100 level lady, where you just breezed past her and. Because I obviously look like such a scumbag. [00:37:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:57] Speaker C: She's like, you're not you, not you. He can go. [00:38:00] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know, I felt. I felt like a, you know, a date, that there wasn't going to be a second date, you know? [00:38:07] Speaker C: Yeah. It's weird for a team. [00:38:09] Speaker B: Him and I, we really hit it off, though. We really bonded for a team building [00:38:13] Speaker C: exercise to end in team discord. Yeah, the miss. [00:38:18] Speaker B: So to me, it's either this will never happen again, we will never attempt this again, or we have to do it immediately and try and fix that. [00:38:26] Speaker C: I'm not going to see the Black Hawks for at least three years next time. [00:38:30] Speaker A: Do you want me to hold your hand to the bus? Make sure you get on all nice and safe? [00:38:33] Speaker B: I mean, I would have just breezed in there and breezed out. Fuck. We had to wait for that bus for like an hour then. [00:38:40] Speaker A: That's what I was trying to avoid with his. [00:38:41] Speaker B: Well, you. [00:38:42] Speaker A: You and I did. [00:38:43] Speaker B: You didn't sell that right, either. There was no three buses just waiting and loading people, and there was no buses. And when a bus. [00:38:49] Speaker A: By the time you got out there, [00:38:50] Speaker B: well, we must have stood in a different place because. Oh, maybe the bus that did come came around the corner. [00:38:56] Speaker A: I heard about this. [00:38:58] Speaker B: Poor Gary with his gout. Had to run. Scout almost died. And luckily we made it in time, but gary gave Brian LaRue a ride back. How'd that go? Yeah. Did you take him all the way to his side? [00:39:13] Speaker A: Yeah. What do you talk about? [00:39:13] Speaker C: He seemed nervous, like I was gonna goose him or something. [00:39:16] Speaker B: Yeah, he probably was. Maybe in the car with some foreigner. [00:39:20] Speaker C: Yeah, I Guess you took him all [00:39:22] Speaker B: the way to his place? [00:39:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:23] Speaker B: Yeah, that was nice. Cuz he kind of out of the way. [00:39:26] Speaker C: No, I was around the corner. [00:39:27] Speaker B: Around the corner? [00:39:28] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:28] Speaker B: Did he invite you up for a drink or anything? [00:39:31] Speaker C: No, of course. It was about. It was about midnight. Time we got away from that goddamn bus stop. [00:39:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. And I. Anyway. All right, well, just so for the record, you're not mad at me or him? [00:39:46] Speaker A: No, I wanted to get on the bus and go home after the game was over. It was done. [00:39:52] Speaker C: I'm mad about going to that awful game. [00:39:55] Speaker A: I had a great time. [00:39:56] Speaker B: No, I loved the game. I. You know, I cooled off on the season tickets. The next day when I woke up, I was like, that's a bad idea. But I want to get a little. Maybe a little package and I want to be right up there at the top. That's where I like it, up there. [00:40:07] Speaker C: They used to be big on the packages, the black. [00:40:10] Speaker B: We're getting a pack. [00:40:11] Speaker C: I don't know if they do them anymore. [00:40:12] Speaker A: I. You should, at this point, just do individual games. [00:40:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:15] Speaker A: Maybe it's cheap to get them, you know, like right up to game time. [00:40:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:19] Speaker C: Like when they release them. I don't know if they do this like staggered releasing, but obviously you got to jump in and you got to get your Detroit's and your Boston, like, out of the. Out of the way. What I thought, you see Columbus blue Jackets, you just walk up to the Detroit. [00:40:39] Speaker A: Is that still a rivalry now that they switched up the divisions? [00:40:43] Speaker C: I think it still is, yeah. [00:40:44] Speaker B: Always. [00:40:44] Speaker A: They don't have. They don't have as much to do with each other anymore. You know, as far as the standings go, they're in different divisions now, but [00:40:52] Speaker C: they're still the closest. Right. That's got to be the closest team. They're closer than Minnesota, right? [00:40:57] Speaker A: Either that or St. Louis. [00:40:59] Speaker C: Yeah, St. Louis, I guess. [00:41:00] Speaker B: Yeah. The other thing I'm upset about somewhat is that we had talked about this, I think on the program that we were going to wear. Right. We agreed we were going to wear certain outfits. [00:41:09] Speaker A: Yeah, you're right. [00:41:10] Speaker B: You were going to wear the black jersey. Right. You said you were. You were gonna wear a hat. [00:41:16] Speaker A: I said I was gonna wear street clothes and Savers hat. I said I planned on. Yes, I did say I was planning to wear a winter hat, but as we know, that day was way too warm for a winter hat. So I wore a blue jean jacket to represent the team colors instead. [00:41:31] Speaker B: Yeah. And so I wore what I said I was gonna war with the Bobby Orr jersey. And I show up looking like fucking Johnny Big fan. [00:41:40] Speaker C: Like an idiot. [00:41:41] Speaker B: Walking around this giant hockey sweater I had on. [00:41:43] Speaker A: What I said I was gonna have on, though, at that point, I was just wearing street clothes. That's what I said I was wearing. [00:41:48] Speaker C: You look like any middle aged man wearing a hockey jersey. Very sad. [00:41:52] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. [00:41:52] Speaker B: Yeah. I looked. I felt sad at certain points. But thank you for the. The Zamboni hat. I put that on this morning when leaving the house and my wife said I look like. No, no offense to the disabled community, but someone that rides that shorter school bus with that hat on. But I also put on the jersey. [00:42:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:42:17] Speaker B: With the panels built in. And my wife said, I go, is it. Is it too small? This is too small. It's just the fit of it is strange, I think, because you put those panels in it. [00:42:28] Speaker A: What panels? [00:42:28] Speaker B: It's put extenders in it. [00:42:30] Speaker C: Probably too short. [00:42:32] Speaker B: He sewed extenders into it because I [00:42:33] Speaker C: didn't think I'd find another win. Original Winnipeg jets jersey. I felt good raining down. [00:42:40] Speaker B: Yeah. My wife didn't find me attractive in it. I'll say that. She said the sleeves were too short. But they're supposed to be, right? [00:42:47] Speaker C: They probably would be because it's a [00:42:49] Speaker B: hockey jersey, has shorter sleeves. [00:42:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:42:51] Speaker B: Yeah. So I think it was good. I think it looks good. Yeah. [00:42:54] Speaker C: She probably just like, God, don't be wearing that near me. Yeah, I needed a wash. Yeah, it's definitely, definitely original. [00:43:03] Speaker B: Well, I'll work it in. The next time we do some kind of sexual role playing. Coming in from the locker room with a hockey stick. I'll have grab a hockey stick from outside and bring that. If I get the Winnipeg jets jersey. Come in. [00:43:14] Speaker C: And then who was it? Was Bobby hall, the original Winnipeg jets guy. No. [00:43:19] Speaker A: Bobby Hall. No. Yeah. Who was famous on the Jets? [00:43:23] Speaker C: I mean, obviously Taz is from there. [00:43:28] Speaker B: Team Usolani. [00:43:29] Speaker A: I was going to say Timo Solani. Was he on the Jets? [00:43:31] Speaker B: I think so. [00:43:32] Speaker C: He was on the Ducks. [00:43:33] Speaker A: He was on the Ducks. [00:43:34] Speaker C: Right. [00:43:35] Speaker B: The Jets. [00:43:35] Speaker A: That's where he won his cup. But yeah. Was it the jets first? [00:43:38] Speaker B: I couldn't remember Timo, but yeah. All right. [00:43:41] Speaker A: He was fast. [00:43:42] Speaker B: Timu, any other agenda items before we get into the. The Comedian of the day? [00:43:47] Speaker C: No. [00:43:48] Speaker B: Comedian of the Day. Comedian of the day. Whitney Cummings, 2019. Can I touch it? Can I touch it? [00:43:58] Speaker A: Yes, you can. [00:43:59] Speaker C: Do you have a sort of sexual sound for every time we say Cummings? [00:44:03] Speaker A: Let me see. [00:44:04] Speaker B: Whitney Cummings. [00:44:05] Speaker C: Like the Meg Ryan. [00:44:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, give me A second. [00:44:10] Speaker C: Really? [00:44:11] Speaker A: Let's not wait because I. [00:44:12] Speaker C: Sexual. [00:44:13] Speaker A: What does bottom mean? [00:44:16] Speaker B: That's. That's gerd. That's like a gerd sound. Play that one. [00:44:20] Speaker A: We already have that. We don't need that button. [00:44:22] Speaker B: He's a stern would always baba Bowie like, because he was always girding baba booie. [00:44:29] Speaker A: What was I looking for? [00:44:31] Speaker C: Sexual. [00:44:32] Speaker B: Sexual. Anything sexual. Okay, so Whitney Cummings. When you announced Whitney Cummings last week and this happened a couple times when we do this, I was like, oh, fuck. Like, I can't stand this. [00:44:44] Speaker C: Yeah. And it was a revenge attack, clearly. Yeah. I thought if. What's going to really irk Bill is an hour of feminist comedy. [00:44:53] Speaker B: And it was. [00:44:54] Speaker C: It's going to. He's going to be climbing the wall. [00:44:57] Speaker B: Yeah, here we go again. Right. Like last week we did Ari Shafir and it was an hour and a half of straight Jewish comedy. And before we get into the comedy, this wasn't. This was a solid hour of really the same topic. [00:45:11] Speaker A: Right. [00:45:12] Speaker B: She doesn't really. It's all the same thing. Feminist comedy. Right. It's all the same thing. But I was like, oh, fuck, I can't stand this woman. [00:45:20] Speaker C: But. [00:45:20] Speaker B: But it took me about 20, 30 minutes before I realized, oh, no, I was thinking of Chelsea Handler. I confused Whitney Cummings and Chelsea Handler. Why? I don't know. They. Are they contemporary? [00:45:30] Speaker C: Are all women the same to you then? [00:45:32] Speaker B: Okay, no. So then after I realized she wasn't Chelsea Hammond, because I was thinking, like, isn't she blonde Whitney Cummings? Right. Like, has she ever been blonde? [00:45:46] Speaker C: No. [00:45:47] Speaker B: No. Okay, well, other than this being a revenge piece. Right. Why did you choose Whitney Cummings? [00:45:56] Speaker C: A. Because of the text thread. [00:45:58] Speaker B: You were thinking about that. [00:45:59] Speaker C: I was thinking about that email thread. I obviously she's a big name. She's big powerful person in. In comedy circles. But I literally. It's another one. I've never seen one joke of hers. Not seen one joke before this special. But obviously her name has been pervasive for maybe a couple of decades at this point. [00:46:22] Speaker B: She ever played this place? Nah, nah, nah. [00:46:26] Speaker C: Because she, she. She had that sitcom pretty early on. Right. [00:46:30] Speaker B: What was that? [00:46:31] Speaker C: Big Whitney. [00:46:32] Speaker B: Whitney. Was the name of the sitcoms gone now. [00:46:34] Speaker C: Yeah, it's long gone. [00:46:35] Speaker B: But what channel was that on? [00:46:36] Speaker C: I think it was like, it was [00:46:37] Speaker B: broadcast, you know, was one major network. [00:46:40] Speaker C: Yeah, it was on a major network like NBC. [00:46:42] Speaker A: Yeah, it was like CBS show. [00:46:43] Speaker C: Oh, I don't know. But Whitney, sure. Yeah. [00:46:46] Speaker B: Because I think make syndication. [00:46:48] Speaker C: Obviously a lot of resentment towards it from other comedians out of the gate for a rapid. You know, they resent a rapid rise. Right. [00:46:56] Speaker B: Hey, is syndication still a thing? You know, like, you know, 20 years [00:47:01] Speaker A: ago, enough episodes, if you made it [00:47:03] Speaker B: for enough seasons, I think it was like four or five. Was the. [00:47:07] Speaker A: Okay. [00:47:07] Speaker B: The marker. Then it would hit syndication, which just meant it was a cash cow for life because it would always be packaged and sold for secondary networks and shit. But does that even matter anymore with streaming? [00:47:20] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know. [00:47:22] Speaker C: Is interesting. Whitney Ed from 2011 to 2013. I remember there was a lot of resentment in the comedy community. Who is this woman? Why does she have a sitcom or coast? Her co star was Chris Delia. [00:47:36] Speaker B: I know the name. I don't know. Who is that? [00:47:39] Speaker C: He's ultra canceled right now. [00:47:40] Speaker B: Oh, he got canceled? For what? [00:47:41] Speaker C: Banging Young girls and what else? But then Rhea Seehorn was in it. [00:47:48] Speaker B: Don't know her. [00:47:49] Speaker C: You know her from Rita. Ria Seahorn. Ria, like Ria Seahorn from. [00:47:56] Speaker B: I know. [00:47:57] Speaker C: Ria Pearlman, Better Call Saul. [00:47:59] Speaker A: Ria Pearlman? [00:48:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Would you make love to Ria Pearlman [00:48:05] Speaker C: and I don't know who that is. [00:48:07] Speaker B: Carla from Cheers during her. [00:48:10] Speaker C: Ria se horn is smoking. [00:48:12] Speaker B: Danny DeVito's wife. [00:48:13] Speaker A: Yeah, Danny DeVito's. [00:48:13] Speaker B: Don't sidestep the question. Would you make love to her in her heyday? Not now. Rhea Perlman. No, Heather's not in the picture. [00:48:22] Speaker C: No. [00:48:23] Speaker B: No. Not your type. [00:48:24] Speaker C: No. [00:48:25] Speaker B: How about you? [00:48:26] Speaker A: Absolutely you would. 100%. I wouldn't even think twice about it. [00:48:30] Speaker B: Yeah, I can't. I can't go into details, but yeah, now I could see you would. Yeah. Now that I know you better from our time spent at Estelle's. That's Whitney Cummings. [00:48:41] Speaker C: No, that's Rhea Seehorn. [00:48:42] Speaker B: I don't know. She is. She's still. She's in the community. She's a comic. [00:48:47] Speaker C: Better Call Saul. [00:48:48] Speaker B: I don't watch that program. [00:48:52] Speaker A: Who is she in Better call Saul? [00:48:54] Speaker C: His Mrs. Oh, Saul's Mrs. Yeah. [00:48:57] Speaker A: Yeah, that's who that is. [00:48:59] Speaker C: I thought you were a completist with regards to what's his name? [00:49:03] Speaker A: Breaking Bad. Brian Cranston? [00:49:05] Speaker B: No, the other Danny DeVito. [00:49:08] Speaker A: Jesse Pinkerton, comedian. [00:49:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:49:13] Speaker B: Meaning I go for all his. [00:49:14] Speaker C: Yeah, I thought you were a worshiper. [00:49:17] Speaker B: No, I'm not. No, I'm not. I like Mr. Show and I've, you know, like him. Good writer for sure. But we were talking about. We were sitting in the bar and. Or somewhere and the. His action movie stuff came on. Yeah, you're like, who wants to see this. Oh, Kirk in an action movie. [00:49:32] Speaker A: Have you seen those? [00:49:33] Speaker B: No. They're good. [00:49:34] Speaker A: I saw the first one. It was. It was terrific. [00:49:36] Speaker B: Really. It was like John Wick. [00:49:38] Speaker A: I know. [00:49:38] Speaker B: You think punch, punch. [00:49:39] Speaker A: I know. It's. It seems like that. I didn't think I was gonna like it for that reason, but funny or something. [00:49:44] Speaker B: It's entertaining. [00:49:45] Speaker A: It's just well done. I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. They. They do it well. [00:49:48] Speaker B: Okay. [00:49:49] Speaker C: I watched the first one. The second ones just hit Netflix. [00:49:52] Speaker A: Yeah, the second one I'm a little apprehensive about because it might just be more of the same and it might ruin the first one. [00:49:57] Speaker B: Well, just like every John Wick, they're all right. [00:49:59] Speaker A: This. And I mean this one, like they're on vacation and then he's gonna beat somebody's ass again, right? It's like, okay, no, I already saw it. [00:50:05] Speaker C: John Wick. More like John what? [00:50:11] Speaker B: Debbie Downer. That didn't even make sense. That Joe. It wasn't even bad. It was. Makes sense. [00:50:17] Speaker C: I was hoping for the rim shot, but whatever. [00:50:21] Speaker A: I know. [00:50:21] Speaker B: All right, so she's been around a while then. If she got this sitcom in 2012. 2012. How old of a gal would you say? Whitney Cummings, My wife. [00:50:32] Speaker C: I know exactly how old. [00:50:33] Speaker B: Okay, well, let's see if he can guess. Do you know when was this special guess this was? 2019. [00:50:39] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay, so how old is she now? [00:50:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:50:46] Speaker A: 42. [00:50:47] Speaker B: You think 42. I'm gonna say if. I'm gonna say you're close, but I'm gonna say 40. 45. And my wife said when she walked in, she like, well, who are you watching this week? [00:51:03] Speaker A: Or what do you. [00:51:03] Speaker B: I go, whitney Cummings. And she goes. And I wrote this down because I thought it was great. She's so botoxed. And then she asked me, is she cute? And I was like, oh, that's a lady. Here we go. Here we go. I was like, no. And then she said, she's kind of cute. Like, she said, what am I gonna say? [00:51:21] Speaker A: Yes, Text message. [00:51:22] Speaker B: No, this is. I was watching it last night, and she walked in the room. She's so Botoxed. [00:51:27] Speaker C: Any woman who asks a dude, you think she's good looking? That's an evil question. [00:51:31] Speaker B: What am I going to say? Yes? Yeah, I said, no, I'm sticking with that. [00:51:36] Speaker C: Anyway, Christian was almost dead on 43. [00:51:40] Speaker B: I thought, good job, Christian. I thought, Jesus Christ, that lasts forever. [00:51:52] Speaker C: Yeah. Adam Krosh. [00:51:52] Speaker A: That's the end of the episode. That's the end of the podcast. [00:51:56] Speaker B: Well, I thought because my wife's astute eye for those that are botoxed all day, every day. She's so botox ever. She's always telling me who's botoxed? As if I give a. I figured she was much older. Not much older, but a little older. And just had great Botox work done. Her face, it's like pulled like upholstery. Like her face has been reupholstered. Yeah, like tight. [00:52:21] Speaker A: Right? [00:52:21] Speaker C: That's not because of our hair being that too. [00:52:24] Speaker B: It all creates this like balloon effect. [00:52:27] Speaker C: I must admit. I was thinking she has a very aerodynamic. [00:52:31] Speaker A: In a wind tunnel, she'd make a great airplane. [00:52:33] Speaker B: Yep. Yeah. Okay. [00:52:36] Speaker A: She'd make a solid speedboat. [00:52:39] Speaker C: This isn't gonna sound good. I was saying all this about her appearance. Yes. [00:52:43] Speaker B: I don't care. [00:52:44] Speaker C: I'm just saying. [00:52:45] Speaker B: I'm just saying. [00:52:45] Speaker C: What? My wife's digging a hole. [00:52:47] Speaker B: No, my wife said she looks so botox. She's being catty. A lot of her act is about how women are catty with each other. So this is all fair game. I'm not criticizing her appearance, saying my wife thinks she's botoxed. And I said I didn't find her attractive, find her cute. [00:53:04] Speaker A: And I stand by my speedboat comment. [00:53:06] Speaker B: What did you say about the speedboat? [00:53:07] Speaker A: She'd make a good speedboat. [00:53:09] Speaker B: What does that mean? [00:53:09] Speaker A: She's very aerodynamic. Oh, you said. [00:53:11] Speaker C: She said. [00:53:12] Speaker B: You guys are the ones criticizing. [00:53:13] Speaker C: Some people have aerodynamics. I don't have a problem. No, that's not a woman like Sil Killian Murphy. Cillian Murphy, whatever the is. Has a very. He has an aerodynamic cat. Like is what I could. [00:53:26] Speaker B: Some people just do backpedaling. Geary is not a. I'm not backpedaling. Not a Geary. I like backpedaling. [00:53:33] Speaker C: I'm not backpedaling. [00:53:34] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. [00:53:35] Speaker C: Madding context. [00:53:37] Speaker B: So that's the reason why you chose her? Just cuz you had never seen her [00:53:40] Speaker C: and you wanted mainly to annoy you. [00:53:44] Speaker B: Well, you might be interested to hear what I think. First thing I wrote down on my sheet was. And I put it and I circled it. I hate her. She comes out in her personality and her attire, which I thought was awful. Right. Dressed like running errands. Right. Then I looked like a jean jacket and yoga pants and like platform heels. What? [00:54:05] Speaker C: Did you know they were flares? [00:54:06] Speaker B: Yeah, they're flares, but I thought they were yoga pants. And then I realized they were jeans, but they Were, like, weird. I just. I didn't think that was very good, you know, like, that's not what I have issue with. And then she's bending over all the time. You notice how she always bends over and, like, bends over and looks up? [00:54:26] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:54:27] Speaker B: You know, from the ground. Like, I don't want that. [00:54:30] Speaker C: Her only weakness is the physicality. That got to be only weakness. [00:54:34] Speaker B: You loved her. [00:54:35] Speaker C: Yeah, I thought, she's great. The only thing that I had to look away from the screen because of the physicality. Yes. [00:54:41] Speaker B: It's off putting Schlesinger. [00:54:43] Speaker C: The one thing I hate is when a comedian bends down and it means, okay, this is the truth. You seen, like, yeah, this is the truth. [00:54:51] Speaker A: It's like flipping the chair around backwards and sitting on the crouching. [00:54:55] Speaker C: Stop doing that with your. [00:54:57] Speaker A: With your arms up on the back of the chair. You know. [00:54:59] Speaker C: Bad cop. [00:55:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Here's. Here's the real. Here's the real deal, fella. [00:55:06] Speaker C: That was too much. The physicality is just annoying in the end. [00:55:09] Speaker B: And so the first thing is, I hate her. And he really stuck it to me now. And I'm immediately looking how long this is this made is making me watch this, knowing I would hate it. Right. But, you know, I'm a professional, so I'm plowing on. I don't think she's going into the sexual harassment stuff, which is. Immediately reminded me of Patrice o', Neill, who did it way better. Right. But is this. When was me too? This is 2019. When did the whole me too, Harvey Weinstein ck was before this? [00:55:40] Speaker A: It was like 20. [00:55:40] Speaker C: Well, she. She references it, right? She said names. No, no, no. But she says she didn't say me too. No, no, she didn't say me too. But right at the top, she's like, hey, you guys finally notice we don't like being harassed. [00:55:52] Speaker B: So this was the. This is the dawn of Me too. [00:55:55] Speaker C: No, this is the heels of. [00:55:57] Speaker A: Yeah, 2019 was the heels of heels. [00:55:59] Speaker B: Heels, meaning it already happened. [00:56:01] Speaker A: Yeah. The back end of it or the big 18th hole. [00:56:05] Speaker B: Well, that's the beginning as well. Oh, no, it's. It's been. It had been run through for years. [00:56:09] Speaker C: It had been done. Everyone had, okay, me too. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Now she's done in 19. Now she's coming out with you finally noticed. [00:56:17] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Well, that gives them more context. Yeah, So I don't want to hear about that. And I didn't like a lot of the material. I did like. I didn't like. I did like the bit about walking A woman to her car, right? Like, you're like, women. Because I just watched that episode of Sopranos. You've seen Sopranos? [00:56:38] Speaker A: Yes. [00:56:39] Speaker B: Where. God, I didn't remember this. We watched it the other day, my kids watching it for the first time. So it's always on the house. And so I. I get sucked into it. And I was watching the episode where Dr. Melfi gets. [00:56:51] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that was a tough one. [00:56:53] Speaker B: And raped, right? Which is like, good God. That was graphic, visceral, like, just rough. But it was the garage scene. She talks about that, like. And that's a great bit. Like, you guys are afraid of. What did she say, like, Santa Claus? No, Santa. What? Yeah, whatever. But we're afraid of a guy or. No, a dick waiting for us in the garage attached to a criminal or something like that. And then she says. And then like the whole guys offering to walk us to the car, like, that's just the same thing. Like, now we have to put out because we. That was really good, right? So at that point, I'm like, she's pretty smart, you know? And then I. And I think in a lot of these specials we watch, like, there's a moment I've heard you talk about. I've heard you talk about it where you, like, you. You don't like this person. Then you're like, wait a minute. And you fucking head cocks to the side. You're like, okay. And then they start to win you over, right? And then the rest of it is like, okay, okay, okay. And that's what I kind of experience here, right? I didn't like her immediately because I thought she was Chelsea Handler, but I didn't like her physicality. Like, you didn't. Like, I didn't like the material, right? Here we go with the feminist manifesto, right? But then, like, if you. If you stay with something, right, Then you. You in this case, anyway, I came to appreciate it more and more and more as the thing goes on. It's like, you ever have a friend, right, who's a good friend of yours now? Maybe I'm this person. We're mates, Remember? You said we were mates who you meet at first, Like, I hate this person. [00:58:31] Speaker A: Almost all of my close friends, right? Almost all of them. I couldn't stand them when I met him. And. And everyone that I've met that I thought, oh, this is a great dude. We're gonna be great friends. Couldn't stand him after a while, right? [00:58:42] Speaker C: Sociopaths are good at making the first impression. [00:58:45] Speaker B: And then, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good point. And then you end up really liking them. So, you know, I didn't love this special. I didn't love this material. I didn't really love her as a comedian. But by the end I think we should spend time talking about. But I wanna hear what you guys think about it. I like, she's done some amazing things in this special, I think. [00:59:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I kind of went into it with an open mind. I wasn't really like swayed either way, you know. But I can agree with you. At some point I did start to think, wow, there's a lot of, there's a lot of meat behind these jokes. You know, there's, there's, there's some thought that has gone into this, into this writing. As a matter of fact, at one point I started thinking, you know, she's kind of like the female Bill Burr, like with her analogies and, and saying something that you think is going to go one way and then kind of like bailing herself out another way but then shitting on it too, you know? [00:59:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:38] Speaker A: And then I was. And then of course at the end, I don't know if you noticed, but one of the executive producers, Mr. Bill [00:59:44] Speaker C: Burr and Al Madrigal. Right. [00:59:47] Speaker B: Who's Al Madrigal? [00:59:48] Speaker C: He's just like another pretty well thought of comedian in the comedy community. [00:59:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, you've kind of already showed your cars Mark that you liked it, but you've never seen her before. What did you, was it her craftsmanship? [01:00:03] Speaker C: Yeah, I like, I, I like a good craftsman. [01:00:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:00:06] Speaker C: This lady can write really good jokes. And yeah, like I say, all the prancing about bit, I could have lived without that. But when she got that key, key ring. Like the lady walk to the car with a key and you don't. And he just, she picks the guy out and just rubs him like, oh, I'm turning him on. [01:00:25] Speaker B: That was cool. Yeah, it was really was different. [01:00:27] Speaker C: And then obviously we, we're la. We're leaving the big finish. [01:00:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:00:31] Speaker C: When it's gone unsaid so far. [01:00:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:00:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:00:33] Speaker B: So I just wanted to hear what you said, you guys said before that. [01:00:35] Speaker C: Yeah. So, Yeah, I mean, great joke writing. Real. I love the ones she was talking about. The. What's it? Service dogs in. In the Air. [01:00:46] Speaker A: Oh yeah, that's a good. [01:00:47] Speaker C: I'm gonna pet that dog. It obviously wants it. It's a dog and you know. [01:00:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:00:51] Speaker C: And he showed me it's butthole. [01:00:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:00:56] Speaker C: All of that. And Obviously there's a.2 levels to that. That's really Good. And stuff. [01:01:01] Speaker B: Yeah, that stuff was good, but, like, from soup to nuts here it's really all about how men objectify women. There's some defensive men in there a little. But it's, you know, it's backdoored. But, like, it's all that. And that's what I just don't. I don't want to see one person. I want to see a person talk about the same thing for a fucking hour. I want to know, like, other things that they think about other than, you know, how men are pigs or how Jews are, you know, Jews. [01:01:31] Speaker A: Right. [01:01:31] Speaker B: Like I. And so when you don't switch gears and show me some kind of range, right. It's like a singer who. Every fucking song sounds the same. [01:01:41] Speaker A: Yeah. That's why. Can you imagine going to a concert? Yeah. And every song is either like a pump up song or every song is a slow song. There's no variation. [01:01:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:01:49] Speaker A: After a while it'd be like, all right. [01:01:51] Speaker B: Or a painter, whoever you painted. Like, I don't like Monet because most of Monet and I don't have an eye for it, is that they're all fucking similar, you know, Water lilies, stacks of wheat. Right. I want to see some range. [01:02:03] Speaker C: I think Ricky Gervais is to blame for this. With the themed. No, actually, well, he popularized, I want to say, maybe Eddie Izzard. [01:02:14] Speaker A: I was just gonna say that. [01:02:15] Speaker C: Responsible for the themed special. Yeah, yeah. That I'm gonna talk about. Yeah, this thing. [01:02:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:02:23] Speaker B: I never watched him because they didn't [01:02:25] Speaker C: used to be themed specials. They would bounce around and it would just be some yuck, yuck clown. What about this? [01:02:33] Speaker B: And maybe that's why. Maybe that's why, you know. You know, I appreciate the yuckya clown because that's what I grew up on. Right. That's what. What I like. Whereas if I came in at a different time in comedy history, I would like this kind of special, but I really don't. I don't like a themed one note special. [01:02:52] Speaker C: Yeah, well, you better get used to them. They're quite the fashion these days. [01:02:57] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess you're right. Like, you know, the crowd, work specials. Specials about, you know, your religion. But it just makes me appreciate someone, you know, like Beth Stelling, who. That's not themed range. It's range. You know, there are other parts of your life other than, you know. [01:03:16] Speaker A: Right. [01:03:16] Speaker B: You know how you, you know, do [01:03:19] Speaker A: more than one trick. [01:03:20] Speaker C: Do you think it's comedians trying to get artistic credibility rather than not just be seen as Yuck. Yuck. Clowns. Maybe Hannah Gadsby, maybe thing. [01:03:32] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:03:34] Speaker C: I wanna. I want to give something of actual meaning and depth. [01:03:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Trying to. Trying to dig the depth. Like bride, Stein Barbaglia. Right. Like, really trying to, you know, plunge the depths. [01:03:47] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [01:03:49] Speaker B: Deeper and deeper. [01:03:50] Speaker A: There were a couple moments where she kind of, like, said something preachy to get the reaction, to get the woos and the applause, but had nothing to do with comedy. Yeah. It would have a look on her face like, I said that. [01:04:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:04:01] Speaker C: I don't know. I mean, at one point, she acknowledges. She goes, I hate people who generalize, even though that's what paid for my house. [01:04:08] Speaker A: Right, right. Yeah. [01:04:10] Speaker C: So I think she's aware. [01:04:11] Speaker B: You know, she's very self aware. I think of a lot of. [01:04:14] Speaker A: Oh, that's what I'm saying. Right. [01:04:15] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. But you know how, like, you hear people say about athletes, right? Like when LeBron James uses his platform to talk about whatever politics, race, whatever. I don't fucking want to hear that. I want to watch LeBron James play. [01:04:29] Speaker A: Dunk on somebody. [01:04:30] Speaker B: Dunk on somebody. [01:04:30] Speaker A: Yeah, Right. [01:04:32] Speaker B: I feel the same way about comedy. Like, I. I don't want to hear about the. The issues plaguing society. Right. When I watch comedy, you know, I just want to hear stupid funny. [01:04:42] Speaker C: Yeah. Put on your clown shoes. [01:04:44] Speaker B: Put on your clown dance. Right. Is that wrong of me? I just. [01:04:48] Speaker A: No, you're like, I don't want political [01:04:50] Speaker B: commentary that's funny, you know, like. Or, you know. [01:04:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:04:53] Speaker B: You have gender relations. It's funny. [01:04:55] Speaker A: Like, you're entitled to have a taste in what you like, just like everybody else is. [01:05:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:05:01] Speaker C: All right, so now I know exactly what to pick in future. [01:05:04] Speaker B: You're screwed. It's not your turn. And why would we do that? I'm not picking people that you'll hate. [01:05:11] Speaker A: Right. [01:05:12] Speaker B: I'm not doing that. [01:05:13] Speaker C: Why are you doing joshing? [01:05:16] Speaker B: Truth and jest. [01:05:19] Speaker C: Okay, so one of us has to pick women, and it's always, I picked Leanne Morgan. Oh, yeah. Leanne Morgan is like your fucking McMahon Super bowl ring. [01:05:31] Speaker A: Like, I should have put a date on this certificate. [01:05:33] Speaker C: Yeah, you're looking at. You're like an 85. [01:05:37] Speaker B: No, I have to be. [01:05:38] Speaker C: You're like an 85 Bears player. Book me because I won this one thing. [01:05:43] Speaker B: Yeah, well, now I have to choose [01:05:46] Speaker C: a woman that I'm gonna have to do a statistical analysis actually of which ones I pick. Of what we all pick. [01:05:52] Speaker B: Oof. [01:05:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:05:53] Speaker B: All right, get back to us. [01:05:54] Speaker C: There's gonna be some truths Revealed. [01:05:56] Speaker A: I can't wait for this spreadsheet. [01:05:57] Speaker B: Yes. Not going to be good for me. Middle aged white talk about sex. Okay, let's get to the. Let's get to the big reveal. If you haven't seen this special or her act around this time because she trotted around a lot of places I couldn't believe because I didn't see it coming because I didn't know coming. [01:06:23] Speaker A: Because the phone turns off. In the meantime. [01:06:27] Speaker B: I did love the bit that she tells about her boobs being different sized. And. And she is the thing I. She in it. Especially as it goes on, she makes herself more vulnerable, right? Like by revealing, you know, painful things about herself. Calling her breast one is Alec Baldwin, the other Stephen Baldwin. I said, I wrote down. Do you think she really went to a. Like, like to bring this up? You think she really went to a sex robot robot factory? Like, no way. She's like. So I had to go to the factory to see the different nipples. I'm like, there's no way she went to a sex robot factory. [01:07:05] Speaker A: Wait, did you watch too? [01:07:07] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, no, no, I'm saying, talking about it. She does like 30 minutes on the sex robot. I'm like, I don't even think she. [01:07:13] Speaker C: My, my last note is, did she really visit the factory question mark? [01:07:17] Speaker B: Yeah, that. [01:07:17] Speaker C: Right. [01:07:17] Speaker B: Like, there's no way she. She did it. Right. And then here we. At the end, she brings out the actual. Well, is it a sex doll? [01:07:28] Speaker A: Yeah, because they took up, what do you call it? Plaster. You know, a mold of her face, of her mouth. [01:07:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:07:36] Speaker A: There's only one reason for that. [01:07:37] Speaker B: But she never refers to the Whitney doll that she brings out as a sex doll. [01:07:42] Speaker C: Well, she. [01:07:43] Speaker B: But is it. Could you have sex with that Whitney doll? [01:07:45] Speaker A: She starts out by saying these are sex dolls, and then brings out. It's implied. [01:07:49] Speaker C: I think she lists the company on the credits at the end and it's like real doll. And that is. [01:07:54] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, real doll. That's right. I remember this being a big thing. The real doll. [01:07:57] Speaker C: Yeah. That's like 20 odd years ago. [01:07:59] Speaker B: Yeah, Stern was on that. [01:08:01] Speaker C: They must have been honing. [01:08:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess I'm. Then I'm a little surprised. I didn't think about this at the time. But like, why didn't she disrobe that thing? It would have been like disrobing herself. [01:08:12] Speaker A: Yeah, that might have been a little too much. [01:08:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:08:15] Speaker A: It was already weird enough because at [01:08:16] Speaker C: the start of the special it says grant language and nudity. And I was like, how's it going to be nudity? [01:08:22] Speaker A: Maybe because they showed the plastic, like the latex nipples at the end. [01:08:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:08:25] Speaker A: Like on the walnut on the doll. [01:08:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:08:27] Speaker C: I was intrigued. I was like, nudity? No, more like, how are you going to do it in a. [01:08:33] Speaker B: She was going to take her top off or something. [01:08:35] Speaker C: Yeah. The whole time I'm thinking, how about that? [01:08:37] Speaker B: You never have seen that in a comedy special, right, where a guy pulls out his wang or. [01:08:42] Speaker C: I've only ever seen nudity in one comedy show. Remember Alison Lyon at the. [01:08:47] Speaker B: Yes. [01:08:48] Speaker C: At the midnight. Bible school would just go. She totally. Billy Bollocks. She came marching out one time when they introduced her, she went. She actually went across. I think she was like dancing across the back of the stage. Ran back round and put some clothes on and then ran back out. But you were sitting there like. [01:09:10] Speaker B: It's almost like I blocked it out. But yeah, I kind of remember that. She's trying to push the envelope. Alice in wine. Yep, a little bit. I don't know what else to say about the doll other than like, wow. Like that. That gave it a much bigger level of credibility or something that I just didn't see coming. I'm like, wow, this is really like thought and thought out, isn't it? What? Coming. [01:09:41] Speaker C: Coming every time. [01:09:44] Speaker B: Didn't see Cummings then I was like, there we are. Thank you. Thank you very much. [01:09:52] Speaker C: There needs to be a shorter laugh. [01:09:54] Speaker B: Yeah. That, like, I don't know. That also won me over, you know, I've never seen. That's groundbreaking. [01:10:00] Speaker C: If we should have got the laugh that the sex robot has. [01:10:05] Speaker A: Yeah, that was. [01:10:06] Speaker B: The robot was weird. The robot was really weird. I thought it looked like a dude. [01:10:12] Speaker A: I thought they did a really good job. Just like her. Yeah. Very aerodynamic robot. [01:10:17] Speaker C: I was gonna say she has such a sort of tight, flawless. [01:10:19] Speaker A: And she says that she's like, did I already look like a robot or does this robot just look like me? [01:10:23] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a good line. [01:10:25] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. I was like, wow, this is really impressive. So again, I didn't like the material. I didn't even like how she delivered. I just kind of was impressed with her, you know, as a. As a mind. [01:10:39] Speaker C: She's a high powered lady. Is she? Oh, she wields a lot of. She's a writer, she's producer. I think she wields a lot of influence, I believe. [01:10:49] Speaker B: Well, you know, the only other thing I've looked at of hers and it was unintentional, I think before we started this show. Remember Hawk Tua girl. Remember Hawk to a girl. [01:11:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:11:03] Speaker B: When she was having her 15 minutes. Hawk Tua. I was totally taken with that story. I don't know why. I just loved it. I couldn't get enough. Hawk Tua. That Hock to a. Had a podcast. The Hawk to. I can't remember what had a funny name. [01:11:19] Speaker C: Like playing words like the Hawk two hour. [01:11:22] Speaker B: Yeah, something like that. It was like something like that. And Whitney Cumming Zuh. Well, that's not the same. I just said her name. I think they only got like two episodes out of it. Right. It was the Hawk to a show with Whitney Cummings. Like talking to Hawk Tua. Or maybe Hawk to Whitney Cummings was the guest for Hawk Tua was the show. I don't know. It didn't make it past a couple episodes, but it's like. It's kind of odd. Like Whitney Cummings wanting to be on the Hawk to a show. [01:11:51] Speaker C: But yeah, you know who should have had a podcast is Cash Me Outside. [01:11:57] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, I would have listened to that. I want to know her points of view on a lot of things. [01:12:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:12:02] Speaker A: No, Catch me outside. [01:12:04] Speaker C: Catch me. [01:12:04] Speaker A: How about that? [01:12:05] Speaker B: I don't know that. [01:12:06] Speaker A: How about that? That's a sound bite I need. [01:12:09] Speaker B: Yeah, you see? All right, I don't know what that is, but yes, we do need that. [01:12:15] Speaker A: I need to find a better soundboard with a shorter laugh [01:12:20] Speaker B: anyway. Okay, so I'm going to start with the review for if we have nothing else you want to add. [01:12:26] Speaker C: How long have we. [01:12:27] Speaker A: An hour. 10. Plus the 10 minutes we originally did before I found out that the soundboard. [01:12:31] Speaker B: That will cut that out because I said stuff about everything. [01:12:35] Speaker A: No, we can keep five minutes of it, I think, except for all the offensive. He only said like five minutes of offensive. [01:12:41] Speaker B: See, I had my employer review and then cut. And then next topic. I wrote down very smart, very polished, very smart bits too long and on the nose, if you know what I mean by that. Like, everything was just on the nose. Like, too. You know, nothing subtle. No subtle humor here at all. Just right at you. But I. I'm interested. There's something here from this Whitney Cummings. I want to know a little more. I don't hate her. And so with that, I'm giving.

I mean, I don't really usually laugh out loud, but it's as close as it was going to, you know, come things to happen. [01:14:41] Speaker B: Okay. I mean, this is the biggest episode we've ever done with these sound effects. [01:14:53] Speaker A: This is like when color TV came out. [01:14:56] Speaker C: Oh, man. I was. There's another famous Baldwin, isn't there? [01:15:00] Speaker B: William, Stephen, Daniel and Alec. Daniel Baldwin. He's more the portly. He's the portlier of the. He's like the Frank Stallone.

[01:15:19] Speaker C: I mean, the only reason she's not getting perfect is because of the. The just outrageous physicality. [01:15:27] Speaker B: I think that's unnecessary. [01:15:28] Speaker C: You think her act annoying. [01:15:30] Speaker B: Yeah. It's too coming at you like. I don't like that. [01:15:34] Speaker C: The high kicks and the crouching. [01:15:35] Speaker A: Lots of kicks. [01:15:37] Speaker C: You don't need it if you're a good. If you. If you're weak, you need that stuff. [01:15:42] Speaker B: But that's just your personal taste. You don't like physical comedy. Would you tell Jim Carrey to tone it down? [01:15:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:15:49] Speaker B: You would? You just don't like any physical comedy. Yeah, but Robin Williams and his vamping. [01:15:54] Speaker C: Turn it down. [01:15:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm the same way. I don't like it at all, but there's a. There's a market for it. [01:16:02] Speaker C: Stuart Lee is merciless in his. He hates physical comedy in his hatred of it. [01:16:07] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, I don't. I mean, I think. Well, it's. You're entitled to your opinion. That's high. But I give it a three. But I only give it a three in fairness, because I'm being cast as a misogynist on this program. Yeah. And I'm trying to clean up my image, so I've got to give high ratings to female comedians for a while just to clean up my image. Do a PR job on me. Yeah, I do like women, and there are female comedians. I like Bat Stelling. Amazing digging. All right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's get out of here. So now do we do. Do you have a gong of sound effects? [01:16:44] Speaker A: Well, yeah, we're not gonna let AI take that job. I'm still gonna do the. I'm still gonna do the gong myself. [01:16:49] Speaker B: Yeah, analog gong. [01:16:50] Speaker A: Right. [01:16:51] Speaker B: Now, before we get off. You're up, son. [01:16:55] Speaker A: Yeah. All right. Before. Hold on.

No, no, it's gonna be something from the 70s, because we haven't been back there for a few. [01:17:09] Speaker B: 70s. [01:17:10] Speaker C: It's gonna be. Because Kaplan.

[01:17:18] Speaker A: Well, I was just about to remind you guys that we had a conversation at one point on this podcast that my role is to pick classic comedians. [01:17:27] Speaker B: Who gave you that role? [01:17:28] Speaker A: We had this discussion months ago. Mark said this, and we all agreed to it. Just like you picked the misogynists, Mark picks women to help balance out your misogyny. I pick classic comedians. [01:17:42] Speaker B: Okay, well, I'm not gonna argue with it. Who's this week's classic comedian? [01:17:48] Speaker A: We are going to watch Jerry Seinfeld's 1998.
