[00:00:09] Speaker A: We on? Are we live?
[00:00:10] Speaker B: Yeah, we're going.
[00:00:11] Speaker A: Speaking of baguettes, I learned something this week about. Because the weather's. But I don't know when you fellas got back. When did you return to stateside?
[00:00:21] Speaker C: Sunday.
[00:00:23] Speaker A: Sunday.
Was it hot at that point?
[00:00:25] Speaker B: Yeah, we were in same flight.
[00:00:26] Speaker A: What?
[00:00:27] Speaker B: Yeah. Didn't know you're on the same flight.
[00:00:28] Speaker C: So we didn't see each other.
[00:00:29] Speaker A: Yeah, I bet one of you saw each other. And preten. You didn't.
[00:00:32] Speaker C: No. Actually do that because we had a sprint to, you know, from the connection from Manchester.
[00:00:39] Speaker B: I must have just walked right past you then, because I was. I was standing there. You said you went past that duty free. And I went to the same duty free to get a bottle of this Irish whiskey for a friend of mine. It had a frog on the front. I have no idea what it's called, but it had this ugly frog on the front. And I wanted to tell him that I saw the label and it reminded me of him. So I got that for him. And it must have been the same duty free that you said you saw the milky strawberry liquor at.
[00:01:00] Speaker C: Yeah. Dead Man's Fingers King didn't have time. It was there.
[00:01:04] Speaker B: Yeah. And I was. So then I was standing at. There was that little bar right there. I was standing at one of the tables, like, with my eye on the gate, having a Guinness. So I probably watched the top of your head go right by and didn't even notice.
[00:01:14] Speaker C: Oh, Heather's. Heather's, like, manic for being the first on the plane. I always tease a. Like, you don't get a prize for being first on the plane.
Gotta fucking be there. And we were at the back.
[00:01:24] Speaker A: Was that bird with you on the trip?
[00:01:26] Speaker D: Bird?
[00:01:28] Speaker A: Heather. I'm trying to connect with you through Heather. You call her a bird, right? A woman?
[00:01:33] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:01:34] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:01:34] Speaker A: She was with you?
[00:01:35] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:01:36] Speaker A: I thought she wasn't with you.
[00:01:37] Speaker C: She went to Malta first and then came to England for a shorter stay.
[00:01:43] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:01:44] Speaker A: Well, it's been hot here while you're gone. The temperature was up. And I noticed during this recent heat wave that my sack has been enormous.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:55] Speaker A: And I didn't know why until yesterday with my friend Big Pat. I don't know if Big Pat's listening.
Big Pat told me that the reason why my sac is so large in the heat is because when the temperature outside is warmer than the temperature in your sack, then your sac becomes long and elongates. Something about the sperm temperature, it has to be a certain rate, and that's why you get Such a big sack when it's hot out.
[00:02:21] Speaker C: Right?
[00:02:21] Speaker A: You guys have a big sack right now.
[00:02:23] Speaker B: Of course it's been hot out. And then vice versa when it's cold, you know, because it wants to draw your testes up into your body heat.
[00:02:29] Speaker C: And this is a revelation.
[00:02:31] Speaker A: I guess I never noticed my sack. It's like in my way.
[00:02:34] Speaker B: Big pat went to 8th grade health class.
[00:02:36] Speaker C: I would have thought you spent most of the day fiddling with your fucking balls.
[00:02:40] Speaker A: I am so.
[00:02:42] Speaker C: How are you not aware of.
[00:02:44] Speaker A: I don't know. I just never thought about it, why it was so big. I always knew that if I took a bath, when I get out of the bath, my sack would be enormous. My genitalia would be like most guys genitalia, long and regular looking.
But only when I take a bath. But it also happens in the heat. Yeah, I feel like horse.
[00:03:05] Speaker C: A whole new world open to you now.
[00:03:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I think I'm gonna move to a warmer climate.
So I'm hung like a horse in this weather.
[00:03:14] Speaker C: Say you're just gonna sit on a hot water bottle all day.
[00:03:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I didn't think about that.
[00:03:19] Speaker C: Yeah, you have to answer the door.
[00:03:21] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:03:21] Speaker C: Nude.
[00:03:22] Speaker A: Well, whenever I get into the shower, you know, I always look at myself in the mirror. I'm always down.
[00:03:26] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:03:27] Speaker D: What?
[00:03:28] Speaker C: Wow, you narcissist.
[00:03:30] Speaker A: No, I look at my naked body and I. And I feel down because of the. My penis is like a child.
But not when it's like this.
[00:03:41] Speaker B: Take a hotter shower.
[00:03:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I do take a hot shower. That doesn't seem like.
[00:03:45] Speaker C: Sit on a hot water bottle.
[00:03:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm gonna do that. I think just have one on the couch.
[00:03:50] Speaker D: Yeah.
Yeah. All right.
[00:03:53] Speaker A: So that was.
[00:03:53] Speaker C: Hey.
[00:03:53] Speaker A: Before I want to tell you that for two weeks. Wow, I'm glad you guys are back. I missed you.
[00:03:57] Speaker C: Well, I got a legal issue to clear up, so. At the end of the last.
[00:04:02] Speaker A: Legal issue?
[00:04:03] Speaker C: Yeah, at the end of the last. Yeah, at the end of the last.
Well, I was talking to my agent at Mark Geary Co. And at the end of the last thing, you kind of. You threw your toys out the pram. Right. Was that the last podcast?
[00:04:17] Speaker A: What? I don't remember.
[00:04:18] Speaker C: You threw your toys out of the pram because of my indifference.
[00:04:22] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that.
[00:04:23] Speaker C: Yeah, so am I.
I need clarification from. For my management and agent.
If you say something, should I just automatically disagree with it in order to engender some sort of.
[00:04:38] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:04:39] Speaker C: Excitement to the podcast.
[00:04:40] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:04:41] Speaker A: Like a sports talk show where they just Bicker. And just for the sake of.
[00:04:44] Speaker C: Oh, should I take the Paul Schaefer approach and just say, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:04:49] Speaker A: I kind of like the Paul Shaffer approach, but it's very frustrating, you know, like when I, you know, I lay something heavy out there and you just. Nothing, you know, you got nothing. Like you have no. No thoughts in your head. It's weird.
[00:05:02] Speaker C: Have you seen that sketch where Norm MacDonald plays Letterman?
[00:05:08] Speaker D: Oh, yeah.
[00:05:08] Speaker C: And the guys and Schaefer just. He's going, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that is so dead on.
[00:05:16] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:05:17] Speaker A: Who plays Schaefer?
[00:05:19] Speaker C: You know what? I worked it out one time because I do go to that sketch on YouTube a lot because it just makes me laugh my ass off every time.
[00:05:26] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:05:27] Speaker C: And it was.
Was that on snl?
[00:05:30] Speaker A: Yeah, it had to be.
[00:05:31] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:05:31] Speaker C: I think I worked out one time who it might have been.
[00:05:35] Speaker A: Norm did a great Letterman. I can't remember who the Schaefer was, though.
[00:05:41] Speaker C: He just kept going. You got any gum?
[00:05:46] Speaker B: It couldn't have been Dana Carvey. Could.
[00:05:48] Speaker C: Might have been Dana Carvey. Which segues. Perfect Hurtles is into this. Yeah.
[00:05:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, you, Christian, chose Dana Carvey for us weeks ago. And I've forgotten recently. I had to get that reminder.
Watched it yesterday. Dana Carvey, Critics Choice.
[00:06:06] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:06:07] Speaker A: I couldn't understand if that. The title was that. That was the title he came up with for the special Critics Choice.
[00:06:12] Speaker B: It's confusing. I couldn't find anything on it either.
[00:06:14] Speaker A: It can't be the name of the.
[00:06:16] Speaker C: Well, it says Critics Choice five star when it. The ident flashes up on the.
[00:06:21] Speaker A: Yeah, but is that somebody's rating of it or is it the name?
[00:06:24] Speaker C: I assume that's what it means. Yeah. What's the name?
[00:06:27] Speaker D: I don't know.
[00:06:28] Speaker A: Well, it's from 1995 and it shows it. Yes, it was. It was a grainy video. You mean it shows it because the quality of video or because of the.
[00:06:40] Speaker C: Way style of comedy and the quality of comedy.
[00:06:45] Speaker A: Well, that's showing your cards right there.
[00:06:48] Speaker C: No, no, I'm just saying it's 90s.
[00:06:52] Speaker A: Yeah.
Full disclosure. Love Dana Carvey, one of my favorite comedians of all time.
And I think I realize why now because after watching this, I never realized how much I think he was an influence on Sandler. I've never heard Sandler talk about it, but there's a lot of similarities.
[00:07:14] Speaker C: Did they overlap snl?
[00:07:15] Speaker D: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
[00:07:17] Speaker C: So he would have been. Carvey would have been senior to an incoming.
[00:07:21] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:07:24] Speaker A: But so I've always loved and I love him now. And I've seen some of his stand up.
[00:07:30] Speaker D: Right.
[00:07:31] Speaker A: I'd seen this years ago. I don't remember when the last time I saw this, but.
[00:07:37] Speaker D: But.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: Well, you go ahead. I don't. I don't want to, you know, spill my beans.
[00:07:45] Speaker C: Go back to your sack again, are we?
I gotta be honest, this was a tale of two halves for me. First 15 minutes, I fucking hated this.
[00:07:57] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:07:58] Speaker C: It was a biz. It was just a man jumping up and down and pointing and pulling faces.
[00:08:04] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:08:05] Speaker C: Not. There was absolutely no comedic content other than jumping up and down and pulling faces.
Point. He spent first three minutes just going. Pointing it.
[00:08:18] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:08:18] Speaker C: What the fuck is this?
[00:08:20] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:08:21] Speaker A: He literally starts show by jumping. Look, like from the crowd.
[00:08:26] Speaker D: Right.
[00:08:26] Speaker A: The front row or something, and the front of the stage. Onto the stage and doing all those things you talked about.
[00:08:32] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:08:32] Speaker C: It was just a cold open. Ladies and gentlemen, Dana Carvey.
[00:08:35] Speaker A: I like that.
[00:08:35] Speaker C: And runs on.
He's doing weird voices and sounds for no apparent reason.
And then I've got. You know, he does a bit about his kids, one of whom died.
[00:08:48] Speaker D: I know.
[00:08:48] Speaker C: That was. That was.
[00:08:49] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:08:51] Speaker B: Look it all up.
[00:08:52] Speaker D: Yep.
[00:08:54] Speaker A: Watching or.
[00:08:54] Speaker B: No, no. Well, I found out while watching.
[00:08:56] Speaker D: Oh, I.
[00:08:57] Speaker B: Look, I went on my Wikipedia laptop.
[00:09:00] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:09:01] Speaker A: That was last year, I believe.
[00:09:04] Speaker D: Yep.
[00:09:05] Speaker A: Dex.
[00:09:05] Speaker C: I believe. Accidental overdose.
[00:09:08] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:09:09] Speaker C: So he talks about his kids. That was boring as shit. Then he does a sting bit, and I'm like, okay, he's gonna. He did a really shitty English impression, which I was hoping. Oh, this is where it gets good. Right. And then he's just having realized that that tanked. He starts prancing around again.
[00:09:29] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:09:30] Speaker C: And then a switch flicked.
I don't know what it was like, he started like, oh, okay, like, I'm gonna have to work for this. I feel like he did. Anyway.
[00:09:46] Speaker A: I felt the same way.
[00:09:47] Speaker D: Like, I.
[00:09:47] Speaker A: Here I am going. And that's why I kind of said that off the top, is that. That I love this guy. And it really can't. Like, Sandler for me, can't really do any wrong, but I'm really not enjoying this. The first 15 minutes, there's no. There's nothing funny.
[00:10:00] Speaker D: Right.
[00:10:00] Speaker A: He's doing all those things like you said, and then there's no jokes. And I'm like, jesus, this is going to be brutal.
[00:10:07] Speaker D: Right?
[00:10:07] Speaker A: And it does get better.
[00:10:11] Speaker C: But I'm asking you why you picked it.
[00:10:14] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I can tell you. I mean, this came out in 95, so I was an adolescent teenager at the time, and my friends and I Thought it was the funniest thing we'd ever seen in our life. It was one of the most quoted specials. We watched it a million times.
[00:10:30] Speaker A: How old were you at this time?
[00:10:32] Speaker B: 13, 14 years old. We just thought it was genius. And. And also because the name of this podcast is a Dana Carvey quotes.
[00:10:40] Speaker C: Oh, right.
[00:10:40] Speaker B: Oh, right. And, I mean, that was primarily why. And so I thought, well, let's watch. You know, I would like to see how this holds up.
So much time later.
And I found out, yeah, it wasn't.
[00:10:55] Speaker A: As funny as you remembered.
[00:10:57] Speaker B: I. I didn't enjoy it as much as I did when I was a child.
Way too much.
I. I think I've gotten past watching somebody talk about penises for about 45 minutes straight and really getting any enjoyment out of that after.
[00:11:13] Speaker C: Must be tough teching this podcast with Bill o' Donnell at the helm then.
[00:11:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I didn't have any problem with the penis material. I mean, I want. I want that kind of material. You talking about when he talks about his kids flicking his penis?
[00:11:25] Speaker D: It's.
[00:11:25] Speaker B: It's that bit. It's.
He goes back. The penis thing comes up. I mean, almost every single bit.
[00:11:31] Speaker C: Tom Jones.
[00:11:32] Speaker A: Tom Jones. That was actually kind of a good joke. Not a good joke, but it wasn't even a joke.
[00:11:36] Speaker C: It was like we went to see Tom Jones and he had a big dick.
[00:11:40] Speaker A: Well, then he's showing out of his pants. Or he's showing through his pants. Yeah, I like that.
How about him starting off with 49ers, right?
[00:11:51] Speaker D: 49Ers.
[00:11:52] Speaker A: And then he. That's one thing kind of ends with that, right?
[00:11:54] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:55] Speaker A: Playing to the crowd.
I don't know.
[00:11:57] Speaker D: It.
[00:11:58] Speaker A: I'm with you. I. It was not. I wasn't really enjoying it. It was a mess. It wasn't funny. But then if. When you get to the end, right? Without going through all the bits, but when you get to the end and then you kind of look back at all that he's done over this 50 minutes or whatever, you realize, like, this guy's thrown a lot of. At you.
[00:12:16] Speaker D: Right.
[00:12:17] Speaker A: A lot of different ways of at least trying to be funny.
[00:12:20] Speaker D: Right.
[00:12:20] Speaker A: He's physical. He's doing, obviously, the impressions. He's doing sweet family humor about his kids, which I guess you didn't like. But then he gets dirty. He's kind of like, who do we watch recently in that way?
Was it Beth Stelling, where she's kind of not dirty and then gets dirty.
[00:12:40] Speaker D: Right.
[00:12:40] Speaker A: He's like Sandler in that regard. He's sweet He's a sweet guy. You can tell he's a nice, sweet guy. But then he gets dirty.
[00:12:46] Speaker D: Right.
[00:12:46] Speaker A: I think guys that are sweet and kind of. You can tell, but they get dirty or funny to me.
[00:12:51] Speaker D: Right.
[00:12:52] Speaker A: I think that makes it funnier when they get filthy. It gets kind of filthy.
[00:12:56] Speaker C: Well, I mean, so let's say. Let's say there's this three. Actually, there's three thirds to this. So when he hits his stride is when he starts doing impressions. Because I love impressions. So even when the material wasn't that good, he had the good impressions to kind of carry it.
[00:13:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I wrote down this. I noted my notes on this one are different than any other one. I usually do, like, bits on one side of my paper and then questions or remarks about things on the right side of the paper. And then for this one down the middle, I wrote every name of an impression.
The names of all the people he did impressions of. Shatner, Regis Carson, Tyson, some Irishwoman, old man, Hugh Grant, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Katharine Hepburn, Johnny Carson, Paul McCartney, George Bush, Bill Clinton, F. Lee Bailey, Johnny Cochran, Neil Young.
That probably. Well, then he get. Does the after part, too.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: I mean, Katharine Hepburn, was that the.
Okay. I was trying to figure out who that was when I was watching it. So I was doing a lot of searching and somebody said that it was Gloria Stewart, who is Jimmy Stewart's wife.
[00:14:12] Speaker D: No, I think.
[00:14:12] Speaker A: Did you have an affair with Katherine Hepburn or something?
[00:14:15] Speaker C: I don't know. I mean, it was Hepburn, because that's kind of a standard impression when he.
[00:14:20] Speaker A: I wish I could do a good Jimmy. His Jimmy Stewart is so good. I want to know what your favorite of his impressions are. But when he does that, it's towards the end when he goes back to the Jimmy Stewart in there and the car is. Do it again, whore. That was so funny.
[00:14:33] Speaker C: I like his Carson is good.
[00:14:36] Speaker A: He's got a good Carson.
[00:14:37] Speaker C: And obviously his George W. Bush is kind of like what he's famous for.
[00:14:41] Speaker B: Yeah, it was George Bush. Still not George W. Right.
[00:14:44] Speaker C: Oh, whichever one.
[00:14:46] Speaker A: George H.W.
[00:14:47] Speaker B: George H. Herbert Walker.
I like the George Bush one the most, particularly when he was doing the crank calls, you know, to the. To China or whatever. And he didn't even have to do the voice, just the laughing and, you.
[00:15:02] Speaker A: Know, because that reminds you of him doing the impression on the show.
[00:15:06] Speaker D: Right.
[00:15:06] Speaker A: Which was so good. But my favorite probably. I love Regis. He didn't do much.
[00:15:11] Speaker B: That was a good one.
[00:15:12] Speaker A: Was Regis Philbin. Regis Philbin, still alive. Do we know?
[00:15:16] Speaker C: He kicked. He kicked A few years ago. Right.
[00:15:18] Speaker A: I don't know about that.
[00:15:20] Speaker D: Yeah, I don't know.
[00:15:21] Speaker A: I'm not sure about that.
[00:15:22] Speaker C: Regis kicked dude.
[00:15:24] Speaker A: At least we'll find out.
Go to the research department.
[00:15:28] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:15:29] Speaker A: Someone from the research department will look that up.
[00:15:32] Speaker C: My money's on 2022.
[00:15:35] Speaker B: 2020. July 2020.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: He died 2020.
[00:15:38] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, you're right.
[00:15:41] Speaker A: Okay. I was gonna ask you about the. You know, because he does a couple British impressions. Hugh Grant.
And then he does.
Who does he do?
[00:15:52] Speaker C: He does McCartney.
[00:15:53] Speaker A: McCartney.
[00:15:54] Speaker C: But they're ballpark at best.
[00:15:56] Speaker A: His McCartney is pretty good. I like his McCartney.
[00:15:58] Speaker C: I mean.
Yeah, there's like a standard thing. Who's it. Who's it loves? McGannon. Loves doing be all.
[00:16:08] Speaker D: He does.
[00:16:08] Speaker A: He does Beatle voices.
[00:16:09] Speaker C: Yeah. Because the Liverpool thing is.
[00:16:11] Speaker D: Yeah. It's easy to do.
[00:16:12] Speaker C: You see? Kind of an easy one.
But, yeah, they're ballpark. But they're not, like, great.
[00:16:18] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:16:19] Speaker A: So English people aren't impressed by these kind of impressions.
[00:16:22] Speaker C: Well, we already covered the whole Spinal Tap thing, right?
[00:16:25] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:16:26] Speaker A: Those you said you couldn't tell from.
[00:16:28] Speaker C: I thought those were English.
[00:16:29] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:16:30] Speaker A: That's amazing.
[00:16:31] Speaker C: Two decades.
[00:16:33] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:16:34] Speaker A: So there aren't. I mean, we could talk a lot about impressionists and. And who's a working impressionist today? That's a good comedian.
[00:16:42] Speaker C: I really wish there were more. I loved impressionists when I was a kid.
[00:16:46] Speaker A: Like Rich Hall.
[00:16:47] Speaker C: Well, I don't know who that is, but, like, in England, there was not Rich. Mike Yarwood. And there's people. Oh, have you seen the whole. You must have seen the Coogan Road Trip movies.
[00:16:59] Speaker A: Steve Coogan?
[00:17:00] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: Yeah, I think I saw it.
[00:17:03] Speaker C: Him and Rob Bryden are extremely good impressionists.
So the trip is there's a whole series of them. It started as a TV show and then they made three films.
And basically it's him and Rob Bryden driving around, just. Just going to, like, places and reviewing hotels and food. But because they're both impressionists, they have these amazing jewels.
You gotta see it. So, like, they both do Michael Caine and there's this really fat. You must have seen the clip of them, like, kind of criticizing each other's Michael Caine for, like, a few minutes.
And, like, you know, he's like, no, well, you're. You're. You're doing like a cartoonish Michael Kane. Like, you know, and it's really effing funny. And then it.
That. It kind of became their thing. But they're both exceptional impressionists.
[00:17:56] Speaker A: They got a white. They can do Like American impressions, all different.
Really. I didn't know Coogan was.
[00:18:01] Speaker C: Yeah, oh, yeah, that's how he started. So he started on. Coogan was like 18, 19 and he started. Have you heard of the show Spitting Image?
[00:18:09] Speaker A: No.
[00:18:10] Speaker C: Famous British satire. It's with rubber puppets.
[00:18:15] Speaker A: Comes on after Peep Show.
[00:18:16] Speaker C: Yeah, no, it's well before Peep Show.
Spin Image. Uber famous, like biting satire. And it was done with these sort of rubber puppets that looked like caricatures of the people.
[00:18:30] Speaker A: The Genesis, Land of Confusion puppets.
[00:18:32] Speaker C: That's it.
[00:18:32] Speaker A: Is that. Those are. Oh, yeah, I know that. Those puppets creep me out.
[00:18:37] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:18:37] Speaker A: Nightmares about.
[00:18:38] Speaker C: Well, Coogan was on Spit and Image doing a lot of the voices exceptionally well.
Him and Rob Bride and other.
I think Britain currently, it always had some very good impressionists. I'm just trying to think who that is now.
There's a couple of like ones that have floated around.
[00:18:57] Speaker A: But who else mainstream is doing impressions right nowadays? Frank Caliendo. Yeah, but besides.
[00:19:05] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah.
[00:19:06] Speaker A: I mean, I said Rich Hall. I meant Rich Little. Of course. You know Rich Little. He was like the impressionist of the 70s and 80s. You've never heard of fucking Rich Little?
[00:19:14] Speaker C: No.
[00:19:14] Speaker D: Oh my God.
[00:19:16] Speaker C: I don't. I can't think of an American impressionist apart from Carvey. Well, obviously the SNL people.
[00:19:23] Speaker A: Yeah, but they're not really.
They're not totally stand up impressionist.
[00:19:28] Speaker D: Yeah, I can't think of any off the top of my head.
[00:19:30] Speaker C: God, it's such a.
Impressionists and double acts. I really miss them. I used to love double acts.
[00:19:37] Speaker D: What's that?
[00:19:38] Speaker C: Like a double act? You know, like, like a.
[00:19:40] Speaker A: Like Smothers Brothers.
[00:19:42] Speaker C: I don't know who they are, but Jesus Christ.
Like in England we had all these like cheesy ones like Little and Large, Cannon and Ball. Like they had stupid ass names. But I used to love like just the. I don't know, it's like a lost art.
[00:19:59] Speaker A: Like the Drury Brothers.
[00:20:00] Speaker C: The Drury Brothers.
[00:20:01] Speaker A: They must have loved them for that reason because they were brothers and they.
[00:20:04] Speaker C: Put a Bar Sisters.
[00:20:05] Speaker A: Yeah, the Potter Bar Sisters.
[00:20:06] Speaker C: Well, in the early days of the Lodge, when I used to just challenge the comedians to not be such lazy fucks. At the end of the year when we did Dwight Nights, which was our special celebration, I paired them all up, said, right, you're doing one with her, you're doing one with him, blah, blah, blah. And I made them like at gunpoint.
[00:20:27] Speaker A: Do a double act and just work together. Or they.
[00:20:30] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah.
[00:20:32] Speaker C: I mean, some embraced it, some obviously just pissed and Moaned. But yeah, I love a double act. I love a.
[00:20:38] Speaker A: How about when OConnell and ODonnell did a double act? Remember that one?
[00:20:42] Speaker C: Well, yeah, that was hilarious. Huffing laughing gas on stage for no apparent reason.
[00:20:48] Speaker A: Yeah, well, we did other things as well, but yeah, it's a double act.
[00:20:53] Speaker C: What were the other things?
[00:20:54] Speaker A: I don't remember.
[00:20:56] Speaker C: That's weird, that. Cuz I only remember one thing. Huffing laughing gas. And you remember nothing.
[00:21:00] Speaker A: Well, that's because I was huffing laughing gas. That's why I don't remember it.
[00:21:06] Speaker B: Did you know that Dana Carvey was in Spinal Tap?
[00:21:08] Speaker A: Really?
[00:21:08] Speaker B: Yeah, he and Billy Crystal played a pair of mimes.
[00:21:11] Speaker C: I remember Billy Crystal as the mime because he says mime is money.
[00:21:15] Speaker B: Yes. And he.
[00:21:16] Speaker C: Did he say that to Dana Carvey?
[00:21:18] Speaker B: Yes, exactly.
[00:21:19] Speaker C: And who else was in it? Bobby Fleckman was.
[00:21:24] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:21:25] Speaker C: What's her name? Fran Drescher was born.
[00:21:28] Speaker A: She's in that.
[00:21:28] Speaker C: She's. Hi. Bobby Fleckman.
When we saw that, me and my mates used to fucking do Bobby Fleckman all the time. And then guess.
Ah, callback.
Who plays Arty Fkin?
[00:21:43] Speaker A: I don't even remember this movie. I don't really.
[00:21:45] Speaker B: I barely remember it.
[00:21:45] Speaker C: Also, Arty RT Fkin is the A and R guy that up this record store appearance. No one shows up.
You remember they do a records in store appearance, no one shows up. Arty Fkin is the A and R guy and he's like, kick my ass. I fucked up. Kick my ass.
Guess who played it.
[00:22:04] Speaker A: Squiggy from Onions From Laverne and Shirley.
[00:22:06] Speaker D: Nope.
[00:22:07] Speaker C: Paul Schaefer.
[00:22:08] Speaker A: Really?
[00:22:08] Speaker B: No way.
[00:22:09] Speaker D: Good call.
[00:22:10] Speaker A: I should have a circle callback.
[00:22:11] Speaker D: Yep.
[00:22:12] Speaker C: This episode's really. Even though it's boring, it's really tying together.
[00:22:17] Speaker A: You think it's boring?
[00:22:19] Speaker C: There's no. There's no. There's nothing in the special to really grasp.
[00:22:24] Speaker A: Here's what I mean.
[00:22:26] Speaker C: He uses the word retard. We could talk about that. He does the Japanese thing and that ain't gonna fly. Yeah, yeah, but I mean, yeah, you know, that's it. Case closed.
[00:22:35] Speaker A: Well, no, I don't think so. Hold on now. First off, that. All that manic shit you talked about the beginning, that reminds me. Well, who does that remind you of when he's doing all that kind of shit?
Other great San Francisco comedian.
Influence on Dana Carvey. Noted influence.
Someone Dana Carvey looked up to. Right. You know, we find the derivatives of all these guys. Robin Williams.
[00:23:04] Speaker C: Yeah, I guess he did a lot of Prancing about to no effect.
[00:23:08] Speaker A: Yeah, nonsensical non sequitur stuff.
[00:23:12] Speaker D: Yeah, I thought.
[00:23:13] Speaker A: I thought that a lot.
[00:23:14] Speaker C: The thing I thought you might hone in on is the Dark Sex. It's weird. Didn't you find it weird to do an encore?
[00:23:21] Speaker A: That.
[00:23:21] Speaker B: That's what I was gonna say.
[00:23:22] Speaker A: I've never seen that encore in the standup show.
[00:23:25] Speaker C: Yeah, like, right, just fucking piece it all together. You know you're gonna do it.
[00:23:31] Speaker A: I've never seen a comedian come out for an encore, have you?
[00:23:34] Speaker C: Not in a special and taped special.
[00:23:36] Speaker A: Well, you've seen it somewhere else.
[00:23:38] Speaker C: Well, I've seen it live.
[00:23:40] Speaker A: Yeah, you've seen a guy or gal exit the stage and then their fans are enjoyed so much that he comes back out and tells more jokes. Yeah, you've seen that.
[00:23:51] Speaker C: Who know? I mean, just English stuff. I don't think I've seen it.
[00:23:54] Speaker A: Stuart Little. Stuart. What's it?
[00:23:56] Speaker C: Stuart Lee wouldn't do it.
Stuart Lee's a very, you know, tight written piece. No, I just seen other people that. I mean, I don't see it so much anymore.
[00:24:06] Speaker D: But.
[00:24:08] Speaker C: But yeah, that was weird to do an encore. I mean, maybe it was just a way to break it. Cuz the stuff obviously that you did then is right up your alley.
[00:24:18] Speaker A: What? Oh, the dirty. Yeah, impressions. So then he mill. Melds. Melds I. Before he got to that in the encore, I loved when he took out the guitar and just goofed around on the guitar on the piano.
[00:24:31] Speaker B: You had to love that. Yeah, that's.
[00:24:32] Speaker A: That's your kind.
[00:24:33] Speaker B: That's when he.
He gained my attention back.
[00:24:36] Speaker D: I mean.
[00:24:37] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean he's just in like that and. And that's where I started to see the Sandler. Right. With the guitar. I was like, oh, yeah, Carvey did some guitar stuff and he's. Carvey did musical like Chopping Broccoli was like the original like comedy song on SNL that like, I think probably, you know, planted the seed for Sandler and all his songs on snl. And I thought this was great, like how he just, you know, lampoons musicians, you know, switching chords, looking around, folk singers.
[00:25:07] Speaker D: Right.
[00:25:07] Speaker C: I've seen an English guy, Bill Bailey, do that as well.
[00:25:12] Speaker A: Yeah, the same bit.
[00:25:14] Speaker C: I mean, ish. Just he's a. He's a musician, comedian and he does, he does a really good Billy Bragg.
[00:25:21] Speaker D: Oh yeah, yeah.
[00:25:22] Speaker C: Bill Bailey should be the next one.
[00:25:27] Speaker A: No, I thought that was good. And then he ends with chopping broccoli, which was, I'm guessing at the time, like his big bet. Were you familiar with that one? You're not familiar with that? That was something he did on SNL almost exactly the way he did it in the show. But what I was.
[00:25:43] Speaker C: But what made it funny, though, it's.
[00:25:46] Speaker A: Just this idea that, you know, the, the. The emptiness or vapidness of rock lyrics and things like that.
[00:25:52] Speaker D: Right.
[00:25:52] Speaker A: And the show, he's this guy who's trying to write a song and he's, you know, looking around the fucking room. He's like broccoli chopping broccoli.
But I guess I was most surprised, and he references it early in the show, that he didn't do what the church lady.
[00:26:08] Speaker D: Right.
[00:26:08] Speaker A: Yeah, right. That's his money maker. Even says, like, what's. What's this guy doing? Is he gonna do a church lady?
And he doesn't do it.
[00:26:17] Speaker C: I guess I thought entertainers wear suits, which I thought was a funny one.
[00:26:21] Speaker B: Yeah, I like that.
[00:26:22] Speaker C: I was almost Stuart Lee esque. The commentary on. I'm bombing. And this is what the audience is like.
[00:26:29] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:26:30] Speaker C: The audience at me like, we came here for that shit and you're doing this.
[00:26:35] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:26:36] Speaker C: Which is Stuart Lee Ask.
[00:26:37] Speaker D: I felt. Yeah, yeah, you're right.
[00:26:39] Speaker A: The self deprecating.
[00:26:40] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:41] Speaker A: Like material about the material.
[00:26:43] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah.
[00:26:45] Speaker A: But then I really liked how in the. I did like the dirty impressions with the. I've heard that so many times. He still does that on the podcast that he does now. Have you ever listened to his podcast with. With Spade podcasts? No, why would you?
[00:26:58] Speaker C: They're horrible, awful.
[00:27:00] Speaker A: Um, he still does that impression.
[00:27:04] Speaker C: That's an interesting that he was like, you know, I do this for the comedians because it reminds me of Otto and George. Remember the. The filthy puppet thing? Ventriloquist guy.
[00:27:16] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:27:17] Speaker C: And I asked him, how did you end up Otto. You know, how did Otto and George end up happening? And he said, well, you know, I'm a ventriloquist. I come on stage at the open mics and I'm doing this lame ass ventrilo. And they're like, everyone in the rooms like, when's my five minutes? So he just started being filthy because he knew, like, oh, that's what's gonna get the comedians attention.
[00:27:41] Speaker A: Maybe that's, you know, why I ended.
[00:27:43] Speaker D: Up the way I did.
[00:27:44] Speaker A: You know, just open mics. Makes you into a terrible comedian.
[00:27:49] Speaker C: Yeah. Makes you a terrible person and comedian.
[00:27:55] Speaker A: But I liked how he, in the end, he. He summed up all the bits. I think I've seen that before. I don't know if we've seen that in some of the specials where he kind of sings what. What you've seen tonight. And it's at that point that I'm looking back and I'm appreciating, like, this guy does a lot, right? Like, he's. He. High energy, physical comedy impressions, family type of humor, dirty humor, playing instruments, right? Like, he's. He's. And I think that's why. I'm sure. I'm not sure that's what you appreciated, Christian, when you watched it in 1995. But, like, this guy's amazing. He's an amazing performer. You get your money's worth, right?
[00:28:34] Speaker B: I think the musical part is definitely something that.
If. If you. If you play in bands, you. I. I'll be sitting there watching somebody almost mimic the things that he was making fun of over the years, and that. That will stick with you. You'd be like, that's exactly what I watched Dana carvey do in 1995.
[00:28:52] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:28:54] Speaker A: And how about, like, the. The technology, right? 1995, just having a screen on stage for the audience to see him better. I couldn't get a sense of where he was. Was he, like, at the Fillmore? Isn't that a big venue?
[00:29:07] Speaker C: He said San Francisco. I don't know, because they couldn't see.
[00:29:09] Speaker A: Like, you couldn't see the audience and how deep or big it was, but it must have been big if they had the. The big screen on there.
But I will say, I loved. Of all the comedians we've watched, this was my favorite comedian outfit. The khakis.
Love khakis. Baggy khakis and a loose T shirt and a digital watch.
[00:29:34] Speaker B: Yeah, that's it. That's it.
[00:29:37] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:29:38] Speaker A: The best outfit.
[00:29:38] Speaker B: It made him look young. He was 40 years old in that special.
[00:29:41] Speaker A: He was 40.
[00:29:42] Speaker B: 40 years old.
[00:29:43] Speaker A: He just looks young even now.
[00:29:44] Speaker B: He looks 40.
[00:29:45] Speaker C: He's 70 now, which is staggering, isn't it? He's still got that vendetta with Mike Myers?
[00:29:51] Speaker B: I believe so.
[00:29:52] Speaker A: Oh, no.
[00:29:52] Speaker B: Oh, they. No, they squashed it.
[00:29:54] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:29:55] Speaker B: Good for them.
[00:29:56] Speaker A: He's been on their podcast, so I would. I guess they have, yeah.
[00:30:00] Speaker C: What was it about the vendetta? I know, it's just like, oh, it wasn't a ven. Because it was. I think Myers originated Wayne's World and didn't want a sidekick. Right. And they forced him. No, you got to have a sidekick. So he was kind of against him out of the gate because he'd been forced upon him.
Was that it?
[00:30:19] Speaker B: I had also heard.
[00:30:20] Speaker A: I'd heard something with Wayne's World.
[00:30:22] Speaker B: I'd heard that Dana Carvey did the, you know, so Mike Myers modeled Dr. Evil after Lorne Michaels. But I've heard that he got the idea and actually modeled it after Dana Carvey's impression of Lorne Michaels and. And never gave him the credit.
And I'm sure there's a million examples like that throughout SNL's past, but I guess I could drive a wedge.
[00:30:50] Speaker D: Yeah, Yeah. I don't know.
[00:30:51] Speaker A: It's something to do with that Wayne's World shit. Maybe royalty.
[00:30:55] Speaker B: Maybe it started there.
[00:30:57] Speaker A: All right, so.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: And then also Master of Disguise, when that came out is around the same time as Austin Powers, one of the Austin Powers movies. And so they were compared to each other. And then Master of Disguise tanked. And this is after. This is after. Dana Carvey was already like, listen, I don't even want to be doing this anymore. I'm trying to focus on my family. And he'd kind of stepped out of the spotlight. He comes back to do one more movie and then Mike Myers once again, you know, steals the spotlight. And I think at that point, Dana Carvey's like, you know what? I didn't want to be here anyway. I'm done. I'm out.
[00:31:28] Speaker C: Never watched Master of Disguise because. Just so horrendously reviewed.
[00:31:33] Speaker B: Right?
[00:31:34] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't think I've watched it either. Opportunity Knocks isn't a bad film. And I think if I didn't look at. Maybe you did when he looked at his Wikipedia. But you mentioned Spinal Tap. He's. He's. He talks about it all. The early film. He's. Because he is 70, he. He goes back into like early, early 80s film and he has like bit parts and different. I can't remember off the top of my head. But yeah, this guy's been around a long time. Not a lot of hits to show for it. Obviously, the Saturday Night Live, huge. But you don't really think of him as a stand up. You don't think of him as a film actor.
[00:32:07] Speaker D: Right.
[00:32:08] Speaker A: He is an impressionist, obviously, but he's kind of like, you know, what is.
[00:32:11] Speaker C: Dana Carvey retired, I would think.
[00:32:15] Speaker A: No, he's still out there doing his act.
[00:32:17] Speaker B: Oh, that's right.
[00:32:18] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:32:18] Speaker B: He did say in the Howard Stern show that he'll do his act. He'll do like a corporate act every, like for like, you know, a million dollars every couple months. But he's like, that's all I really want to do. Because he did. He stepped away in order to Be. He didn't. He wanted to be a good father to his two sons. He didn't want to miss their whole life. So he said, actually he was up for the Conan o' Brien job for the Late show.
And he said, I don't want it. He was also up for a double dare at one point and turned that down to do Wayne's World. And then that was given to Mark Summers.
[00:32:46] Speaker D: What?
[00:32:47] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:47] Speaker C: Makes it all the more tragic what happened then, doesn't it?
[00:32:50] Speaker B: And one more interesting thing. One time he had a blocked artery in his heart and it was difficult to get to, and the surgeon accidentally did the bypass on the wrong artery, left the clogged one still there, and sewed him back up again. And then Dana Carvey sued for 7.5 million, gave it to charity, had his heart fixed up again. And during that second operation, when he had his heart fixed up again, Frank Sinatra died in the next room.
[00:33:17] Speaker A: Wow, look at you. Wikipedia.
[00:33:20] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:33:21] Speaker A: And for the people at home, he did that off the top of his head. He wasn't reading Wikipedia while I said that. You remember? You got a good memory.
[00:33:27] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:33:28] Speaker C: Yeah, I was in Boston when Frank Sinatra died.
[00:33:31] Speaker D: Really?
[00:33:32] Speaker C: Not in the next room?
[00:33:34] Speaker D: No. No, I wouldn't imagine.
[00:33:36] Speaker C: Where were you?
[00:33:37] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:33:37] Speaker C: Where were you when Sinatra died, Christian?
[00:33:42] Speaker B: No idea.
[00:33:43] Speaker D: No idea. Yeah.
[00:33:45] Speaker C: Philistines.
[00:33:47] Speaker A: All right, so this is gonna be an interesting, you know, final word here on Dana Carvey 1995 chess game.
[00:33:57] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:33:57] Speaker A: Why is it a chess game? You just say we, whether you liked it or not.
[00:34:01] Speaker C: Well, I'm trying to read you. You're trying to read me.
We're both trying to read Christian.
[00:34:08] Speaker A: I think I showed my cards already. I called already. I liked it. I give it a thumbs up.
[00:34:14] Speaker C: You meant to say, oh, yeah.
[00:34:17] Speaker A: It is special. Isn't that.
[00:34:19] Speaker C: Say it properly.
[00:34:20] Speaker A: Isn't.
[00:34:21] Speaker C: Say it as.
[00:34:24] Speaker A: Isn't that special. I can't.
Isn't that special?
Isn't. I wish I could do an impression. I've never done a good impression. I did a pretty good Charles Bronson back in the day.
[00:34:34] Speaker C: You spent your entire stand up career impersonating Norm MacDonald, right?
[00:34:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm doing it right now. This is my Norm MacDonald.
Thank you for that below the belt shot.
[00:34:47] Speaker C: Stab. Stab.
[00:34:48] Speaker A: I'm. I'm saying this is special, but not that special. Very dated, all that OJ material like. But it's not his fault, right, that it was in 1995.
[00:34:59] Speaker B: We can't fault, guys, if you're taping something you can't make all these references that are so topical to that exact moment in history.
[00:35:09] Speaker C: The first thing you're told when you audition for Montreal and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, is you can have nothing in your act that dates it.
[00:35:18] Speaker A: Really?
[00:35:19] Speaker C: Yeah, they'll just reject you straight out of the gate.
[00:35:23] Speaker A: You're doing, like current events.
[00:35:26] Speaker C: Current events and geographics.
You can't do five minutes of El, you know, jokes about the L to Montreal and they go, the fuck. How's this gonna play in. In Canada?
[00:35:39] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:35:40] Speaker A: What about five minutes about your sack being big because of the weather?
[00:35:44] Speaker C: Yeah, I'd probably fly in Montreal, to.
[00:35:46] Speaker A: Be honest, up there.
[00:35:48] Speaker C: The time I went to Montreal, I saw a Fresh Faces showcase.
Absolutely stunk.
There was guys. You remember when you used to eat stuff with alestra in it and you'd immediately.
No, Elestra was a food additive that made you just crap through the eye of a needle.
[00:36:07] Speaker A: But it was like a margarine.
[00:36:09] Speaker C: No, it was like. It was in things. It was in, like crisps.
[00:36:12] Speaker A: Not in anything anymore.
[00:36:13] Speaker C: I don't think so, because he used to like a goosebur anyway. There were people doing jokes about that. And then the one act that I liked inevitably tanked at Montreal.
What was the point of that?
[00:36:27] Speaker A: They still have that up there in Montreal.
[00:36:29] Speaker C: I think they're trying to revive it this year, but, you know, without $10 million, how are you going to do that?
[00:36:36] Speaker A: When's the Chicago Comedy Festival coming back?
This year.
[00:36:39] Speaker C: I'll be sending out invites in three weeks time.
[00:36:44] Speaker A: All right.
[00:36:45] Speaker C: So I gotta say no, this isn't special, really. It's too weak.
[00:36:50] Speaker A: It's weak.
[00:36:51] Speaker C: It's too weak. It's too many holes. It's too flawed to be special.
Like I say, it was. It was. It was of two halves to me. And what, you need two good halves to make a hole. And this has a hole in it.
[00:37:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I wouldn't bicker with that. I mean.
[00:37:08] Speaker D: Yeah, you got your point.
[00:37:13] Speaker A: You chose it.
[00:37:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I did. I really enjoyed it as a child. 30 years went by and I did not enjoy it nearly as much. I. I enjoyed the bookends of it. I. I enjoyed the first five minutes and I enjoyed the musical part at the end. The entire middle part, I could do without. Therefore, I will confidently say I did not find a special.
[00:37:32] Speaker C: Dana Carvey is not coming back from this hammer blow.
[00:37:36] Speaker D: No.
[00:37:37] Speaker C: He'll just have to be content with making 3 million a year from Microsoft conferences.
[00:37:43] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, he'll be all right.
[00:37:46] Speaker A: We'll see if we can get him on the show next week.
Oh, I defend himself. You got it. You booked us an act.
[00:37:51] Speaker C: I called Beth.
She responded, though, when I was in England, so I still got to call her again.
[00:37:57] Speaker A: Okay, so that's a possible.
[00:37:58] Speaker C: It's a possible.
[00:38:00] Speaker A: We got to get some, you know, fresh voices in here. You know, anybody who's out in the lobby right now bringing scandal.
[00:38:06] Speaker C: Who should we bring in?
[00:38:07] Speaker B: You know, actually, I have somebody in mind that I was going to recommend for next week's podcast. However, I want to talk about this off the mic, you know, so we can do the same thing that we've done in the past to make sure that we can line everything up. So, that being said, I had somebody as a backup in mind for next week's podcast.
However, Mark, you said Bill Bailey earlier, right? Is that the name that you.
[00:38:34] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't know. Should we do Bill Bailey at this?
[00:38:36] Speaker A: No, no, he picks. You gave him that. And if he wants to pick that.
[00:38:40] Speaker B: Well, it piqued my interest because of the Stuart Lee thing. You know, watching that opened my eyes to somebody I wouldn't have otherwise watched. So now I'm interested in. Now because of that, I want to see if maybe Bill Bailey can hold the candle.
[00:38:55] Speaker C: Well, you. I think you're really going to love Bill Bailey because he's comedy, music, and he's very good at music.
[00:39:02] Speaker A: Christian's going to love him.
[00:39:03] Speaker C: Yeah, you'll probably. I don't know. You. You.
Sometimes you're just contrarian. But you didn't pull that with Stuart Lee. So we'll.
[00:39:16] Speaker B: Is there a particular special?
[00:39:18] Speaker C: No, you know, I gotta look that up. I don't like many.
[00:39:21] Speaker A: I don't like what's happening here. I don't like how he, on a whim, throws out a name during the show. And then when we get to this segment, which I very much look forward to because you're gonna tell us who we're watching, and you're like, yeah, Bill Bailey sounds good.
No, whoever you had in mind before he said that, that's who we're watching.
[00:39:43] Speaker B: Is that what you want?
[00:39:44] Speaker A: That's what I want.
[00:39:44] Speaker B: I'll tell you who it's going to be then. Yes, it's going to be Mike Birbiglia.
[00:39:48] Speaker A: Okay. You've been talking about him forever.
[00:39:50] Speaker B: And the special is my girlfriend's boyfriend.
[00:39:53] Speaker A: Is that the old one?
[00:39:55] Speaker B: It's older.
[00:39:55] Speaker A: It's older. Okay.
[00:39:57] Speaker D: All right.
[00:39:58] Speaker A: Yeah, Done. And you put big Bill Bailey in your file of facts and pull him out at a later date.
Oh, you're groaning already. You don't like. I don't know much about it.
[00:40:09] Speaker B: I'm so happy with this choice because of Mark's reaction already.
[00:40:12] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:40:12] Speaker A: No, we want people that you hate.
[00:40:14] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. I honestly don't know what to expect. I expect to hate. Let's say that.
[00:40:20] Speaker B: But I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
[00:40:22] Speaker C: Yep. Okay.
[00:40:23] Speaker A: Mike Birbiglia, my girlfriend's boyfriend, next week.
[00:40:28] Speaker C: Which will probably be published three months after this.
[00:40:31] Speaker A: So we got a lot in the can.
[00:40:34] Speaker C: I know.
[00:40:34] Speaker A: We still got. My wife's all caught up.
[00:40:37] Speaker D: Really?
[00:40:37] Speaker A: Yep. She listened to all of them.
[00:40:39] Speaker C: I thought you were.
[00:40:40] Speaker A: Lukewarm review of the show.
[00:40:42] Speaker C: I'll bet.
[00:40:43] Speaker A: Yeah, she did not like.
I'm. I'm.
Did I tell you this? So we're. Oh, this is hilarious.
No, this will be for the Patreon after show. If you subscribe, you can listen to this part.
Gary picks me up. We're going out to see legendary Chicago comedian Adam Croisus out in the suburbs at Sean Flannery's home for a backyard barbecue. And my wife's out there gardening, doing the plants. And I pull up.
I'm coming home so that Gary can pick me up. And then we're going out to this cookout. And as I'm pulling up on my scooter, my wife looks up and she's pointing to her headphones and scowling at me and shaking her head, and I'm like, oh, my God, what did I do? I'm thinking, like, what could I have done, right? I didn't know she was listening to the podcast. And she just laid into me about all the lecherous things I said about.
[00:41:42] Speaker B: I can't believe it.
[00:41:44] Speaker A: What's her name?
[00:41:45] Speaker C: Natty Ledge.
[00:41:46] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:41:46] Speaker A: Who is it?
[00:41:47] Speaker C: Natasha Legera.
[00:41:48] Speaker A: Natasha Leggiero, who, incidentally, my wife went down a rabbit hole on Is from her hometown of Rockford, which I didn't know, so I didn't even remember saying that. That she was very comely. Have you ever heard that expression, comely?
Yes, but I will not be saying such things on this program ever again about any women. And she did not like that I said I wanted to sniff the sheets that she slept in. I guess that was taking it too far.
So.
[00:42:18] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:42:18] Speaker C: Oh, well, we're back down to seven listeners again then, are we?
Hey, we had our heyday in the double digits, but now it's back to reality.
[00:42:30] Speaker A: The show must go on.
[00:42:31] Speaker C: All right, I gotta. I've gotta do a mass publish this week. I will. I'll. Punta.
[00:42:36] Speaker A: People want. Yeah. They're. They're drooling for these, so. Yeah, get it out there.
[00:42:41] Speaker D: All right.
[00:42:41] Speaker A: I look forward to that mystery guest, whoever that is.
[00:42:44] Speaker D: Yeah, we can.
[00:42:44] Speaker A: We need somebody else in here.
[00:42:45] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:42:46] Speaker A: You know, for 11, you can goad and.
[00:42:50] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:42:50] Speaker C: Sort of provoke.
[00:42:52] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah.
[00:42:54] Speaker C: All right, all right.
