Episode Transcript
[00:00:08] Speaker A: What do you think of Fleetwood Mac? Still not sold.
[00:00:11] Speaker B: Sold on what?
[00:00:13] Speaker A: Whether they're good or shy, their music is great.
[00:00:17] Speaker B: You think maybe you're not into all the drama?
[00:00:20] Speaker A: No.
I always thought it was just a bit middle aged.
[00:00:23] Speaker B: Sure it is. Because when we were kids, that's what middle aged people listen to. Now we're middle aged.
I don't know.
[00:00:31] Speaker A: I just feel. I don't know. There's a.
[00:00:34] Speaker B: Say that you love me.
[00:00:38] Speaker A: This was about Tusk. First thing I heard as a kid of this Fleetwood.
[00:00:42] Speaker B: This song.
[00:00:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:00:42] Speaker C: Really? Really. This is usually more of a deep cut. Yeah, this is at least for their hits.
[00:00:47] Speaker B: New ones. Entree into the.
[00:00:48] Speaker A: This was a big hit in the pop charts.
[00:00:51] Speaker B: We have to have a license play this.
[00:00:54] Speaker A: Well, let's see.
[00:00:54] Speaker C: What'd you say about a license to play this? Oh, I don't know.
[00:00:58] Speaker A: What was the Fleetwood Max song where it goes.
[00:01:04] Speaker C: Oh, that's say that you love me.
I can never think of a song when something else is playing.
[00:01:13] Speaker A: And then it bursts into life together,
[00:01:17] Speaker C: living in the shadows.
What is it? Something. The chains. Yeah. The chain keeps us together.
[00:01:24] Speaker B: Living in the chain. Yeah.
[00:01:25] Speaker A: It's called the Chain because the Formula One TV broadcasts always used that. But they never got to the lyrics. So for years I did know a Fleetwood Mac song because I was used to watching Formula One on telly. But they just use the.
[00:01:44] Speaker B: They use that.
[00:01:45] Speaker C: That's a good part.
[00:01:45] Speaker B: What if they had a license to use it?
[00:01:47] Speaker A: I don't know. Because they never got to the lyrics. And then it goes fast. And that's when they show the cars.
[00:01:54] Speaker C: Yep.
People request that at dueling piano sometimes.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: Hey, have you guys ever listened to Kraftwerk?
[00:02:00] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:02:01] Speaker B: Band.
[00:02:01] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:02:02] Speaker B: Well, I'm new to them.
[00:02:04] Speaker A: Kraut rock.
[00:02:05] Speaker B: I always can. I stayed away from them because I had foreign. Yes. But also because I thought that they were the same as the band Rammstein, who's like Nazi. I think they're Nazis. Aren't they? Rammstein?
[00:02:19] Speaker C: No, but Ace of Basses.
[00:02:20] Speaker B: Asa Bass is Nazi.
[00:02:22] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:02:22] Speaker B: What?
[00:02:22] Speaker C: Yeah, that's all that she wants is another baby. Because the first one isn't the right race for her.
That's what that song's about.
[00:02:31] Speaker A: That sounds like a.
[00:02:34] Speaker C: Okay, so it kind of is. The One of the leads from Ace of Bass was in a Nazi sympathizer band before Ace of Bass and then claims that he had a change of heart.
[00:02:44] Speaker B: And I thought it was gals.
[00:02:46] Speaker C: There was a guy in it, too. Oh, yeah.
[00:02:48] Speaker A: Ace of Bass is dudes and One gal.
[00:02:50] Speaker B: I thought it was just two gals.
[00:02:52] Speaker C: I thought it was opposite those two gals.
[00:02:53] Speaker A: One dude, there's a.
So how do you discern the difference between Acer Bass rock set and the Cardigans? It's a difficult one.
[00:03:03] Speaker C: I've heard of one I haven't. One I've never listened to.
[00:03:05] Speaker B: Yeah, Rockset and Ace of Bass are. Are easily confused. But Cardigans.
[00:03:10] Speaker C: No, I love the Ace of Bass.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: I don't know the Cardigans really.
[00:03:13] Speaker C: That. That album. What do they do Friends with their hits on it.
[00:03:17] Speaker A: They were part of that, like, you know, that sound that goes is. I call it the shuffle beat. Where it goes.
And there was a whole thing like Soul to soul. Every song was.
[00:03:28] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[00:03:29] Speaker B: They had soul to soul. Yeah, I love soul.
[00:03:32] Speaker A: Soul to Soul, which is your favorite song?
[00:03:34] Speaker B: There's only one album. Well, it's only the one.
The one song.
Back to Life, Back to Reality.
[00:03:44] Speaker C: Founding Mumber. Founding Mumber. Founding. Founding member, Ulf Ekberg. As a teenager in the 1980s in Sweden, he was involved in a skinhead punk band called Commit Suicide.
[00:03:56] Speaker B: So this guy's from Ace of Bass?
[00:03:57] Speaker C: Yep. He went.
[00:03:58] Speaker B: Well, this isn't anything.
Ace of Bass is so soft pop. He went from punk to soft pop.
[00:04:05] Speaker C: Yeah. It's about Neo Nazism. They're. Their songs are at least.
[00:04:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, okay.
[00:04:11] Speaker A: You're listening to super sounds of the 90s.
[00:04:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:15] Speaker C: With the Seaman.
[00:04:16] Speaker B: The Seaman.
The Seaman.
[00:04:20] Speaker C: And it does sound like Seaman, doesn't it?
[00:04:22] Speaker A: Talking of sounds of the 90s, you know, we stock Jose Cuervo here now.
[00:04:26] Speaker C: Oh, my God. Only temporarily.
That was not an easy decision to make.
[00:04:31] Speaker A: This is a 90s college in it.
[00:04:34] Speaker C: Yeah. It's awful.
[00:04:34] Speaker B: No longer relevant. No.
[00:04:36] Speaker C: Oh, God, I hope not.
[00:04:37] Speaker B: It's.
[00:04:38] Speaker C: It's pretty bad.
[00:04:38] Speaker B: Low end tequila.
[00:04:39] Speaker C: It's low end tequila for sure.
[00:04:41] Speaker B: Bottom shelf.
[00:04:42] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, no, it's. There's worse. There's much worse. There's salsa. That's worse.
It's. It's middle range.
[00:04:47] Speaker B: But Don Julio. That's good, right? Don Julio sounds cheap.
[00:04:50] Speaker C: Yeah, Don Julio is. Yeah, that's. That's more. That's top shelf tequila.
That's pure agave. Whereas Jose Cuervo is a blend.
[00:04:58] Speaker B: How much drinking do you do? I know.
[00:05:00] Speaker C: Not nearly as much as I used to.
Yeah, I can't.
[00:05:04] Speaker B: Let's do a doctor's intake. How many drinks a week?
[00:05:08] Speaker C: Not that many. If I go out.
Really, like, I can't handle that much anymore after a few.
[00:05:13] Speaker B: What do you mean?
[00:05:14] Speaker C: You can't handle it. I just like. It gets. I don't like the feeling of the buzz, and only a few of them gets my head buzzing.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: So you can't break through to the buzz?
[00:05:26] Speaker C: No, I just. I don't like it. It doesn't appeal to me that I don't like being. Yeah. I don't like having any lack of control.
[00:05:33] Speaker B: Yeah. What about the sweet leaf, though? The marijuana cigarette? That. That takes a little control away, doesn't it?
[00:05:39] Speaker C: Yeah, the marijuana cigarette. But I really only smoke at night when I'm already home, like, on my couch and alone and, you know, not talking to anybody.
[00:05:48] Speaker B: Shutting it down. Yeah, shutting it down. Like our comedian. Comedian of today talked about. Dina Hashems talking about a little late night sweet leaf.
[00:06:00] Speaker A: Mm.
[00:06:02] Speaker B: You guys didn't.
Well, first of all, I want to recognize your enormous slap head because I parked across the street and through the window as you were washing the windows. When I arrived, all I could see was that giant slap head. Yeah, you really gave him liberties to cut it short.
[00:06:21] Speaker A: I'm almost at the stage now. We're just buying the clippers.
[00:06:25] Speaker B: Just.
[00:06:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, it's, it's 20 after. Even with the dual coupon is 22 at Great Clips.
[00:06:35] Speaker B: 22 with the coupon.
[00:06:36] Speaker A: With the coupon.
[00:06:37] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:06:38] Speaker A: And then you, you know, you've got a guilt tip them five bucks. So. 27.
[00:06:44] Speaker B: Yeah, 27.
[00:06:45] Speaker A: 20.
[00:06:46] Speaker B: Still getting the cheapest haircut out out there today. I don't think they're gonna find a cheaper haircut.
[00:06:50] Speaker A: Yeah, but it takes two minutes with me. I mean, I'm literally just sharing. I'm sheared like a sheep.
[00:06:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:06:55] Speaker A: So why don't you do it?
[00:06:57] Speaker B: It's one guard, one length.
[00:06:58] Speaker A: All right, two and then whatever.
[00:07:02] Speaker B: Two and one. We could do that in here.
[00:07:04] Speaker A: Two. Two on the sides and then, you know, one. I'm really not looking forward to have having the Jeffrey Tambor. I might get.
[00:07:13] Speaker B: I don't see it happening.
[00:07:14] Speaker A: I might get a wig.
Would it be socially awkward for you to hang around with the wig stuff?
[00:07:19] Speaker B: No, we've talked about this. I, I, I would love it. I would wear one if, If I was bald. Just to make other people happy by seeing. Because whenever you see a guy with a bad toupee, just. You love it.
You have a good laugh.
[00:07:31] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:07:31] Speaker B: Brings joy.
[00:07:33] Speaker C: It really does, just thinking about it.
[00:07:35] Speaker B: We could try you on for some wigs, right? I mean, drop the top on there. Let me see the, The.
[00:07:40] Speaker A: Oh, I'm well gone.
[00:07:41] Speaker B: We could get you a toupee with that?
Yeah, that'd be kind of cool.
[00:07:46] Speaker A: Why are they always ginger?
[00:07:48] Speaker B: We are. We already discussed.
[00:07:50] Speaker C: We did. We did this already.
[00:07:51] Speaker B: They're all ginger.
[00:07:52] Speaker C: Why?
I'll just go back and listen to the episode.
[00:07:56] Speaker B: Maybe we didn't know. Maybe we talked about this at the game. When we went to the game. I don't know. All toupees. Mark thinks all toupees.
[00:08:02] Speaker C: This does ring a bell.
[00:08:03] Speaker B: Are ginger colored.
[00:08:06] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:08:06] Speaker B: What if you had black hair? They wouldn't make it ginger.
[00:08:09] Speaker A: But who do you know? Black people never. Black people. Black haired people never have.
Black people never have wigs either. Well, black women do.
[00:08:19] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:08:19] Speaker A: Dudes don't.
[00:08:21] Speaker B: Women are known to wear a bust down lace. You know what that is? Bust down lace?
[00:08:25] Speaker C: What is that?
[00:08:26] Speaker B: It's.
Can I get a wig? What?
[00:08:29] Speaker A: Can I get one?
[00:08:30] Speaker B: It's a woman's wig. It's a weave.
[00:08:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:33] Speaker B: Bust down. I don't really know.
[00:08:35] Speaker A: I'd never heard of weaves until the Chris Rock bit.
[00:08:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:08:38] Speaker A: When I came here and I got his albums. What's the. A weave like to look it up?
[00:08:43] Speaker B: We could get a weave for you. Something. Let's play around with some wigs.
[00:08:48] Speaker A: What if I just got hair extensions? Just down the back. Did the proper Wisconsin.
[00:08:53] Speaker B: The back.
[00:08:53] Speaker A: The Wisconsin waterfall. But like all that.
[00:08:56] Speaker B: That would look like Joe Dirt. Yeah, yeah, that. That would look good, I think.
Did you guys see me outside?
[00:09:03] Speaker C: Yeah, well, I. You looked like you wanted attention, so I didn't. I didn't want to give it to you.
Yeah, I noticed you, but I. I looked the other way intentionally. You didn't get the satisfaction.
[00:09:13] Speaker A: And I was washing the windows, so
[00:09:16] Speaker B: I wanted you guys to see me
[00:09:18] Speaker C: look like you were putting deodorant on when I looked at you.
[00:09:20] Speaker B: I was.
[00:09:21] Speaker C: Yeah.
Thank you for that.
[00:09:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:23] Speaker B: I had the hatch open in the back. Did you see it was in the back. I wanted you to see everything.
[00:09:26] Speaker C: No, No, I didn't. What was in there?
[00:09:28] Speaker B: A boat.
[00:09:29] Speaker C: A boat?
[00:09:30] Speaker B: Boat in my car.
[00:09:31] Speaker C: What kind of boat?
[00:09:33] Speaker B: Cat kayak.
[00:09:34] Speaker C: A big one.
[00:09:35] Speaker B: A single person kayak.
[00:09:38] Speaker A: How the hell do you fit it?
[00:09:39] Speaker B: I fit it in there. It was basically the. The stern, the bow was up in the front seat with me. But.
[00:09:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:09:45] Speaker C: I bought an inflatable kayak one time.
[00:09:48] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:48] Speaker C: Yeah. Where's that person kayak? I sold it already. I used it once and I took it out to Lake Michigan. I didn't know that. The entire bottom compartment inflated. I didn't read the instructions. It was like, you know, I can see the nozzles. I have the pump.
[00:10:00] Speaker B: You put a hole in it?
[00:10:01] Speaker C: No, I just. I pumped up everything. I was with my buddy Andy. We got out there, and you could tell, like, the water underneath us, you could. Like, it was like, you're sitting on. There was just a. Of plastic between your ass and the water, right?
And so we're going along, and there's all these huge boats. And we realize immediately that when a boat goes by and the wake is coming your way, you have to go at it nose first. Otherwise the water comes up and over the edge. And then we're suddenly. We're sitting in all this water, so we're like, okay. So we had to play the game of, like, hitting each wake. You know, you have to, like, hit one nose on, but then there's another one coming, so you got to spin and then hit that one nose on. And then we ended up pretty far out there. And then the fire department came out.
I saw the boat coming out. I thought it was the cops.
[00:10:41] Speaker B: Where was this?
[00:10:41] Speaker C: In Lake Michigan.
[00:10:43] Speaker B: Here?
[00:10:43] Speaker C: Yeah. And they came out, and they're. They're like, hey, you idiots.
You. Like, you guys are a speck out here, like. And everybody's drunk in these giant boats. You are gonna die.
You're stupid, you know? So we're like, okay, we didn't know. Like, look, we're gonna escort you back to shore. Just take your time, though. And then the one guy got over the loudspeaker, and there's, like, 15 of them on the boat, and they're all laughing at us, you know? And the one guy got on the loudspeaker, and he's going, row, row, as we're going back to shore. And then. Then we got back to shore, and then the lifeguard on the beach, on the sand beach wouldn't let us pull the kayak up. He's like, no, you have to go to the designated boating area.
[00:11:22] Speaker B: What? Yeah.
[00:11:23] Speaker C: So we didn't. We just. We just went as far as we were out of his line of sight, and then one of those ladders that goes up the side of concrete beach.
We somehow he got out of the boat. I was, like, lifting it up to him. He's pulling it up the ladder. I'm pushing it up to him. It was insane.
[00:11:38] Speaker B: Where you embark from?
[00:11:39] Speaker C: Diversey Harbor.
[00:11:40] Speaker B: Oh, so you left from a harbor, but you just tried to get out of there?
[00:11:43] Speaker C: Yeah, we tried to get back on North Avenue beach. Yeah, that was it.
[00:11:47] Speaker B: Well, you don't sound like a seaman. Seaman.
[00:11:51] Speaker C: I'm more Of a lakeman.
[00:11:52] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:11:54] Speaker A: Do you remember that bloke who drifted for days on a jet ski in Lake Michigan?
[00:11:58] Speaker B: No.
He drifted out. Out to the lake.
[00:12:02] Speaker A: He went out on his lake, you know, on his jet ski. Ran out of petrol or some, and they were looking for him and he, when they found him was high, super hydrated, just drift.
[00:12:12] Speaker B: Super hydrate. Dehydrated.
[00:12:14] Speaker A: Dehydrated. Just drifting on a gym.
[00:12:15] Speaker C: Why wasn't he just drinking?
[00:12:16] Speaker B: Baking?
[00:12:17] Speaker C: He's in lake water. It's fresh water.
[00:12:18] Speaker B: When he drinking water, drink the water right out of the lake if you're in it. Well, you can't. You shouldn't.
[00:12:23] Speaker C: Right? Why not?
[00:12:24] Speaker A: Probably not.
[00:12:25] Speaker C: You're probably not supposed to, but.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: But you could survive off of it.
[00:12:28] Speaker C: Yeah, you could. Especially if you're that far out, you know, you're far away from the pollution.
[00:12:31] Speaker A: Well, you think you would roll off dipping it.
[00:12:33] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:12:34] Speaker A: Because your skin will absorb water, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:12:39] Speaker B: That's why you just get in the water.
[00:12:40] Speaker A: Oh, no, it's the opposite. Because when you. You remember when you used to have a bath and you'd prune up.
[00:12:46] Speaker B: Yeah, I still have a bath.
[00:12:48] Speaker A: Yeah. That is dehydration. Because I think, unless I'm wrong, I think your skin is like, wow, we're too wet. Let's get rid of everything.
And when you get out the bath, you're all pruning because your body's been going, there's too much water.
[00:13:04] Speaker C: No, we need more.
[00:13:05] Speaker A: There isn't. Yeah.
[00:13:06] Speaker B: The human body is fascinating.
What are we talking about?
[00:13:12] Speaker C: We were talking about the. You wanted to talk about your boat, and then I took over by talking about my boat.
[00:13:17] Speaker B: So I wanted you to see me in the back of the car.
[00:13:19] Speaker C: Yeah, I was.
[00:13:20] Speaker B: I was putting on the deodorant. I was brushing my teeth.
Tom's Aluminum Free Times.
[00:13:27] Speaker A: Never been a team player, have you?
[00:13:29] Speaker B: What does that mean?
[00:13:31] Speaker A: You should be wearing the official deodorant of whatever.
[00:13:36] Speaker B: I don't see it at my dog.
[00:13:38] Speaker C: You got six months ago.
[00:13:39] Speaker B: I don't see it at my dollar store.
[00:13:40] Speaker A: The coconut that's since run out. Bob's Burgers.
[00:13:44] Speaker B: Anyway, I'm never gonna be able to tell you what I'm just dying to tell you.
Who's that?
[00:13:52] Speaker C: It was a caller.
[00:13:53] Speaker B: That's cool. Is there a caller on the line?
[00:13:55] Speaker C: Yeah, they're waiting for you.
[00:13:56] Speaker B: Have they been sitting on the line the whole time? Who is it? So that guy again with the S.O.B.
[00:14:01] Speaker C: he's leaving.
[00:14:03] Speaker B: No, it's not a caller.
Anyway, Guys.
[00:14:12] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:14:13] Speaker B: What is that?
[00:14:13] Speaker C: That's Fleetwood Mac.
Fleetwood Callback.
[00:14:18] Speaker B: Anyway, I wanted. I wanted you guys to see that I've been camping and I was just camping.
[00:14:22] Speaker C: Yeah, I did. I noticed the giant storage unit on top of your Subaru.
[00:14:26] Speaker B: Well, that's always there.
[00:14:27] Speaker C: Oh, well, that's cool. It's got a bunch of stickers on it.
[00:14:30] Speaker B: I went camping last night.
[00:14:31] Speaker C: Where'd you go camping? Oh, where?
[00:14:33] Speaker B: The Tippecanoe River, Indiana.
[00:14:38] Speaker C: Is that where you tip a canoe?
[00:14:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I was in the. I was in the kayak on. It floated down there.
[00:14:43] Speaker C: Yeah. Don't go to tip of Kayak River.
[00:14:45] Speaker B: No, Tippecanoe River, I think has some world War. World War, Civil war implications. I think there was a site of a battle.
[00:14:52] Speaker C: Yeah, there's a lot of Tippecanoe.
[00:14:54] Speaker A: Well, the two. The two kayak fleets, the north and
[00:14:58] Speaker B: south met, had a battle right there in Indiana.
Yeah.
[00:15:05] Speaker A: But the north had whiteboards in that. That superiority won them the.
[00:15:10] Speaker B: About advanced technology. They've guns.
[00:15:12] Speaker A: Anyway, while we're on the subject, how many wanks did you have when you were in your tent?
[00:15:16] Speaker B: All right, I'm glad you brought that up because I have been issued a gag order to. By my wife. Last week, she met me at the Cubs game. She walked to the Cubs game, listening to the podcast on the way there. By the time she arrived at the game to meet me in the seats, she was none too pleased.
[00:15:34] Speaker C: Why would you.
[00:15:35] Speaker B: Our conversation about. I don't.
About who.
You asked me if I thought.
And you always start this.
You asked me. Oh, wow, you must have really loved Renee Russo. That's a British accent, right? And I was like, no, no, I didn't. I didn't find her attractive. But then I started talking about women I did find attractive. Well, she gets. She doesn't like that. It wasn't like that. And she says you can be funny without talking about sex.
And so that's what I'm going to attempt.
[00:16:07] Speaker A: You're going to try civil war amongst our two listeners?
[00:16:11] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And I don't want to piss off one of them. And then, you know, there goes half our listeners.
[00:16:16] Speaker A: We're down to one listener after this week, then.
[00:16:19] Speaker B: Well, I'm on.
I'm on watch. So I'm not going to be talking about wanks or who I find attractive in the world or any sex talk, despite the, you know, the director from. Going to lose our sponsor.
[00:16:31] Speaker C: Yeah, we're going to lose our sponsor.
[00:16:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:32] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:16:32] Speaker B: I. I don't know what's up with that? I. We didn't. I didn't get the T shirts.
[00:16:37] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. He hasn't done for us anyway.
[00:16:39] Speaker B: Yeah, he's out, so I'm not going to talk about that. What went on in the tent? I kayaked down the river, did a little hiking in the trails.
I had a camping stove, boiled some water there. I watched the specials or watched one of the specials in the tent last night on your.
On my iPad. Downloaded it. Watched it on my iPad.
Yeah, I went camping by myself. You ever do such a thing?
[00:17:10] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah, every summer.
[00:17:12] Speaker B: By yourself?
[00:17:12] Speaker C: Yep. I go to. How long I go to Just for a night or two. Yeah, I go to Indiana Dunes State Park.
[00:17:18] Speaker B: I wanted to go there, but they were booked.
[00:17:20] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. You got to get them early.
[00:17:22] Speaker A: How can you book an entire state park?
[00:17:25] Speaker B: There's sites. All the sites were occupied.
Can't just jump in there. No limit.
[00:17:33] Speaker A: Really?
[00:17:34] Speaker C: Put a tent on the lawn.
[00:17:36] Speaker B: How are the sites there? Can you go right to the beach like you real close to the beach?
[00:17:39] Speaker C: Yeah, it's right once. It's pretty great. Yeah. You just.
You got your site with your electric outlet, you know, it's fake camping and in your little fire pit. And then you can walk right over to the dunes and go swimming in the lake and spend the whole day there, get back to your site, cook up some burgers.
[00:17:57] Speaker A: Is the entire site full of yahoos, though?
[00:18:01] Speaker C: Everybody. No, I wouldn't call them yahoos. People keep to themselves. And as a matter of fact, last year, somebody gave me a potholder because they noticed me struggling with my iron skillet.
[00:18:10] Speaker A: Really?
[00:18:11] Speaker C: Yeah, I was using. I didn't bring anything to touch it with, you know, like, I just didn't. I wasn't prepared. And so I was using, like, the tongs to try to move it around, and it was heavy. And so this guy saw me, he came out, he's like, hey, my wife wants me to give you this. And I said, oh, I'll bring it back when I'm done. He said, no, you just keep it.
[00:18:25] Speaker B: Potholder.
[00:18:26] Speaker A: Yeah, One of them things where you clip it on and then.
[00:18:29] Speaker C: No, it was just a regular, like a rectangle mat.
[00:18:32] Speaker B: Knitted. Hand Knitted. Hand crocheted.
[00:18:34] Speaker C: No, these people.
[00:18:36] Speaker B: Well, I wish I had had neighbors as kindly as that. I was struggling with the tent to put it up. It's been a while, a couple years since I camped, and I.
I was having trouble getting the tent up, and I noticed one of the.
The rods, the sticks was broken.
[00:18:51] Speaker C: Oh.
[00:18:51] Speaker B: And it snapped and the fiberglass inside, it all got in my hands.
[00:18:55] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:18:56] Speaker B: But in order to get the tent up, I had to repair it with duct tape and like marry it back together like.
Like a broken leg.
[00:19:02] Speaker C: You had duct tape with you, huh?
[00:19:03] Speaker B: Yeah, sure, yeah. Forgot a lot of stuff though, because I left in haste. Got that thing together, but was very nice on upon decamping this morning when I took that whole tent and threw it in the rubbish barrel.
[00:19:17] Speaker A: It's weird with tents these days. They're a piece of pit. You literally just throw them.
[00:19:22] Speaker C: I've got a north face one that's so easy to set up.
[00:19:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:24] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: Well, I'm in market for a new tent.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: Did you go, there's one. There's a couple in my garage. Yeah, been there for God, they're probably
[00:19:31] Speaker B: old and like hard to put together.
[00:19:33] Speaker A: No, no, no, they're from the, they're made of asbestos. They're from the drug camp things.
[00:19:37] Speaker B: The drug. Oh, the drug. The drug induced camping trips used to go on the, the community name names.
[00:19:43] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure they're up there. There's a whole bunch of camping shots.
[00:19:48] Speaker B: But is it good? I don't want any shitty equipment.
[00:19:50] Speaker A: No, it's good.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay, I'll take a look.
Anyway, so I, I did that. I, I got up this morning and I, I had one stop in mind and that was Mr. B's Old Fashioned Donuts on the way back. Now when I walked in with this box, you said, oh, is that pizza in there? You were, you were wishful thinking and hoping that it was pizza because you would eat that.
And I didn't bring these donuts here to lord over you, to, you know, make you feel weak or tempt you at all. I'm sorry, I did.
[00:20:28] Speaker A: No, it's fine. I've actually, did I tell you last week a couple of times I felt light headed and I said to the.
[00:20:33] Speaker B: You had to have some blood sugar.
[00:20:35] Speaker A: I've, I've gone the wrong. You know, I've swung the way way too fast.
[00:20:40] Speaker B: That could happen. Yeah.
So you had a, what did you have? Tootsie Roll?
[00:20:45] Speaker A: No, I can't remember now.
[00:20:47] Speaker C: Sweet.
[00:20:47] Speaker A: You know what it is, is I've got syrup at home that we use to make, you know, the cherries.
I've got this.
[00:20:55] Speaker C: Yeah, right.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: Cherry syrup. So I just, I just put some of that in a, in a glass and I mean that's virtually pure sugar.
[00:21:02] Speaker B: Cherry syrup.
[00:21:03] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:04] Speaker B: And that did the trick. Level job. I remember getting that way as a kid. I'd be outside playing and then I come in. I'd be like, whoa.
Lightheaded. I'd eat like 50 Oreos and then feel sick.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: But.
[00:21:15] Speaker B: But my body was telling me I
[00:21:16] Speaker C: needed to eat sugar.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: Last year, I gave myself heat stroke, mentally.
[00:21:22] Speaker B: You did mental heat stroke?
[00:21:23] Speaker A: No, no, I was a mental. For doing. I gave myself heat stroke because I just wouldn't.
On the car, like, I gotta finish it. I gotta finish it.
[00:21:32] Speaker B: Dehydrated?
[00:21:33] Speaker A: Yeah. I was gonna try and go to a concert at the Vic. I think it was madness. I'm not sure.
[00:21:37] Speaker B: Maybe it was Sarah Sherman when you went without.
[00:21:39] Speaker A: No, no, no, because that was the spur of the moment.
[00:21:41] Speaker B: But madness. The band.
[00:21:44] Speaker A: Yeah. But I said to my Mrs. Bloody hell. Like, I feel like.
Really?
[00:21:50] Speaker B: So you're having a stroke?
[00:21:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:52] Speaker B: A real stroke.
[00:21:53] Speaker C: Yeah, I got. I got that one time. I was. It was like middle of July, 100 degrees outside, and I was biking around all day. And back then I used to rehearse down at 16th and Western and I'd ride all the way down there. I lived in uptown. And I was on my way back and I was just like. I started feeling weird. And then. And I was going past the apartment of a woman that I was dating at the time, and she had air conditioning, so I. I pulled over. I was just like. I just knocked on her. I'm like, I'm sorry. Can I. Like, can I come in? I just feel really weird.
[00:22:20] Speaker B: And I was like, God, she didn't like that?
[00:22:22] Speaker C: No. Yeah. And so she gave me a glass of water. I was laying in her bed and just like, SW. Wedding. But like. And just. I'm like. I don't know. I just feel. And she. She was convinced that I was a secret drug addict. And I was having like.
[00:22:34] Speaker A: Your house just to od?
[00:22:36] Speaker C: No, no, the opposite. Was having like, withdrawals or something.
[00:22:39] Speaker B: You know, it's a weird thing. I was just in the neighborhood and I'm having some kind of attack. Can you let me in?
[00:22:45] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:45] Speaker B: We're kind of dating.
[00:22:46] Speaker C: I knew we. No, we were. Been dating for a while at that time, but. But I. I knew it was kind of a strange, like, pop in thing, but I didn't really have a choice. I didn't get out of the heat.
[00:22:55] Speaker B: What happened to that relationship?
[00:22:56] Speaker C: We eventually broke up.
[00:22:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:59] Speaker A: Yeah, it had a stroke.
[00:23:02] Speaker B: So I knew we'd be in here for at least two hours for this episode, which is why I brought a dozen donuts.
If you. I don't. I don't even want to Open the box because you'll. Because these are the greatest donuts, honestly, in the city of Chicago. In I go, 115th street in Michigan Avenue. Have you been down to this neighborhood? 115th and Michigan Avenue. So it's the Roselyn neighborhood.
All right. They make the best donuts in the city down there. It's way out of the way for me.
[00:23:31] Speaker A: I do not like this best whatever culture.
[00:23:35] Speaker C: I'm telling you, I don't offend you, but I just don't like donuts. I'm not a sweets fan.
[00:23:39] Speaker A: Let's have a butcher's.
[00:23:40] Speaker B: You're gonna what? You're gonna have a butcher's. What does that mean?
[00:23:42] Speaker C: He's gonna have a butcher.
[00:23:44] Speaker B: Just look at him.
[00:23:44] Speaker C: Look at it.
[00:23:45] Speaker A: That's what it is, a butcher's.
[00:23:47] Speaker B: Butcher's. Just looking at it.
[00:23:48] Speaker C: You ever seen Tommy boy?
[00:23:49] Speaker B: Yeah.

[00:23:50] Speaker C: Yeah. Head up a butcher's ass.
[00:23:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: A butcher's hook is Cockney.
[00:23:54] Speaker B: Right. 1. Don't warp the box.
[00:23:58] Speaker A: Well, you can give these to your youths.
[00:24:00] Speaker B: I will. I had one Old Fashioned on the way in.
[00:24:03] Speaker A: What's an Old Fashioned?
[00:24:04] Speaker B: That's the second row. It's like a glazed Old Fashioned.
[00:24:07] Speaker A: So what have we got here? Jam.
[00:24:08] Speaker B: You got glazed Old Fashioned. Glazed chocolate and raspberry and strawberry.
Mr. B's Old Fashioned Donuts. You know, 11268 South Michigan. What?
[00:24:19] Speaker C: Maybe they'll sponsor us.
[00:24:20] Speaker A: I'll nibble him.
[00:24:21] Speaker B: You will?
[00:24:21] Speaker A: He's been a good lad.
[00:24:23] Speaker B: All right. He has been a good lad. We're here to announce last week, £7 he was down. This week, £10.
[00:24:30] Speaker C: Give it up.
[00:24:31] Speaker B: Get that.
[00:24:31] Speaker C: Oh, where's my.
[00:24:33] Speaker B: He deserves a donut. Don't be mad after this, though. I'm depressed.
[00:24:37] Speaker A: The.
[00:24:39] Speaker C: I can do a better one.
[00:24:40] Speaker A: What was that one?
[00:24:41] Speaker C: Sexy. It was a sexy admiring whistle. It's called.
How about.
[00:24:45] Speaker B: How's that fucker?
[00:24:47] Speaker C: There you go.
[00:24:47] Speaker B: He just bit into it. He's been a good lad. Drinking only cherry juice. Juice. He's going at this donut. He is not even swallowing or chewing. He's just swallowing, but he's eating it.
[00:25:01] Speaker C: I was not prepared for that.
[00:25:02] Speaker B: Now, how is that?
[00:25:04] Speaker A: It's good, but here's the thing. Can I. On you.
[00:25:07] Speaker B: You're shitting on Mr. B. Who's been in the business of donuts for 70 years. But go ahead.
[00:25:12] Speaker A: When I was a youth, we would go to the fair or.
Yeah. Blackpool, pleasure beach or whatever we would go to.
[00:25:20] Speaker B: No idea what that is.
[00:25:20] Speaker A: And there was always a donut stand.
And you Know where they would plop the thing and it would go up. Escalator.
[00:25:30] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:25:30] Speaker A: All into the frying pan. Yeah.
[00:25:32] Speaker B: Krispy Kreme has that factory thing.
[00:25:34] Speaker A: And then it would come out of its little dip in the fat pool.
[00:25:38] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:25:38] Speaker A: Flip over the end, crash land into a big thing of powdered sugar.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:25:44] Speaker A: And you would eat. You would eat it ping hot.
[00:25:48] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:25:49] Speaker A: I'm sorry, but that is how. That's what a donut to me is.
[00:25:54] Speaker B: Can we go back to what you said? You know, if you're the fair or the black.
What did you call black something. Pleasure fair. What did you say?
[00:26:04] Speaker A: The Blackpool pleasure beach.
[00:26:06] Speaker B: Yeah, Blackpool pleasure beach.
[00:26:08] Speaker C: That sounds nice.
[00:26:09] Speaker B: Yeah. What exactly is the Blackpool pleasure beach?
I don't think everybody's familiar with the Blackpool beach.
[00:26:15] Speaker A: At one point I think it was Europe's largest fair. So Blackpool is a, as we all know, is a seaside. Famous seaside resort in England. Oh, it is famous for Blackpool. Famous for it raining all the jeffing time. But also they have in. In the autumn they have the. The lights. They have two miles of lights. Like, you know, like sort of vegasy.
[00:26:45] Speaker B: Yeah. Like a boardwalk.
[00:26:46] Speaker C: Like the strips.
[00:26:47] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. So you go there for the lights and this and that. But they also have Europe's biggest. I think it was Europe's biggest fair. So, you know, when we were brats, couldn't wait to get to Blackpool and hit.
[00:26:59] Speaker B: Hit the video games and like that.
[00:27:01] Speaker A: Well, this was more when we were younger. So it's more, you know, roller coasters, go karts, all this other shot.
[00:27:06] Speaker B: That's fun.
[00:27:07] Speaker A: The fun house had what the.
You know, in the fun house you used to have the big drop slide.
[00:27:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. You ride on a potato sack thing.
[00:27:16] Speaker A: No, no, no, not. Not the bumpy one. This was literally a. It was almost like a 20 foot drop. And then just at the end it curves away.
[00:27:26] Speaker B: What would you ride on? Just your. Your buttock.
[00:27:28] Speaker A: Yeah, you just jump over the edge.
[00:27:31] Speaker B: What do you mean jump over the edge?
[00:27:33] Speaker A: You'd sit on the edge and it's a slide.
[00:27:35] Speaker B: It's just a slide.
[00:27:36] Speaker A: Body slide. It's a slide, but it's a jeffing big one. It's a.
[00:27:41] Speaker B: We don't have that here.
[00:27:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't think you do here.
[00:27:43] Speaker B: But the potato sack one.
[00:27:45] Speaker A: Blackpool pleasure beach had the biggest goddamn one.
[00:27:48] Speaker B: And why is it called pleasure beach? Sounds sexual. Sounds like a hedonism or
[00:27:54] Speaker A: pleasure.
[00:27:55] Speaker B: Just general pleasure for everyone, not for adults.
[00:27:58] Speaker C: You ever say to somebody when they're like, hey, thanks for that, like, oh, it Was my pleasure or like, nice to meet you.
[00:28:03] Speaker B: I do say my pleasure.
[00:28:04] Speaker C: I say it too. And I. Every time I feel weird, like I'm saying something sexual.
[00:28:08] Speaker B: My pleasure.
[00:28:09] Speaker C: Yeah, every single. And I. I regret it immediately every time. And I do it every day.
[00:28:15] Speaker B: When we went to. Well, we do this then. When we went to. Yeah. No. No napkins. How was it out of 10? A donut. On the donut scale, there was no jam in it. No. No jam. And it's not a jelly, It's. You were hoping for jam. No, there's no jelly.
[00:28:31] Speaker C: You said one of them was a jam.
[00:28:33] Speaker A: I said to you, jam, donut, plain dough.
[00:28:36] Speaker B: I don't know.
I thought you were calling this strawberry frosted one a jam. And I said no.
[00:28:40] Speaker C: Oh, Mark said jam and you agreed.
[00:28:42] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:28:43] Speaker C: Oh, let's.
[00:28:44] Speaker B: So much British talk. Now that you're off the rails, you might as well.
[00:28:47] Speaker A: What's the difference between this one and this?
[00:28:48] Speaker B: So that's just a classic glaze that you just ate.
[00:28:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:51] Speaker B: And the other one is an old fashioned. It's like a cake glaze. That's the one I like, is the cake. Because it's cakey, but it's also got the. The glaze on it. It's less airy.
[00:29:02] Speaker A: That's a sexual word as well, isn't it? Glaze.
[00:29:04] Speaker B: Glaze and cakey.
[00:29:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:29:09] Speaker C: What is it? The. The pan of glaze spilled over.
[00:29:11] Speaker A: Oh, sir. Cakey glaze, isn't it?
[00:29:14] Speaker B: Jeez, your energy's. You're like a kid who just had a sugar blast.
[00:29:19] Speaker A: That's the first sugar.
[00:29:20] Speaker C: He's relaxing.
[00:29:21] Speaker B: You're feeling that, right?
Yeah.
[00:29:24] Speaker C: He's sitting straight up all of a sudden. I know.
Rubbing his hands together.
[00:29:29] Speaker A: Requiem for a drink.
[00:29:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:29:32] Speaker C: Seriously, it was a bad idea lifting the table over his head.
[00:29:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
Popeye.
[00:29:42] Speaker B: Yeah. You're gonna crash, though. You're gonna crash hard.
[00:29:44] Speaker C: Hopefully fall asleep on the way home.
[00:29:47] Speaker B: Episode.
[00:29:47] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:29:49] Speaker B: Well, we got a good dosing of British talk in there.
[00:29:51] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:29:51] Speaker B: Blackpool, Pleasure Beach.
[00:29:53] Speaker A: I want to get to the review.
[00:29:54] Speaker C: Yeah, let's do it.
Perfect timing. We're about. We're 30 minutes in. And that's.
[00:29:59] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:29:59] Speaker C: That is our agenda.

[00:30:17] Speaker C: Oh, I got thoughts.
[00:30:20] Speaker B: I wrote down. It looks like the old Lincoln Lodge to me.
The old one.
That was one of the first things I Wrote down.
Little did I know that in. In appearing at the credits, this was the new Lincoln Lodge where this was filmed. Now we know why you chose. I need to ask you why you chose this. Because you wanted us to see a special that was filmed at the Lincoln Lodge.
I didn't know, though, the whole time watching it that it was.
[00:30:50] Speaker C: Wait, this is news to me right now.
[00:30:52] Speaker B: What? You didn't know that was shot here? Here. Here.

[00:30:59] Speaker C: Oh, that makes little dirty whispers. You got to be joking me.
[00:31:03] Speaker B: No. You didn't know?
[00:31:04] Speaker C: No.
[00:31:04] Speaker B: It says in the credits.
[00:31:05] Speaker C: I didn't read them.
[00:31:06] Speaker B: Yeah, you have to pay attention to the credits. You didn't recognize that stage?
[00:31:10] Speaker C: No.
[00:31:11] Speaker B: All right, that was this stage, right?
[00:31:13] Speaker A: Yeah, right.
[00:31:14] Speaker B: The main. Main stage.
All right, so we'll get. We'll get into all that. I. I suppose. But who. Who is Dina Hashem to you? Why did you choose Dina Hashem? She's new to me. I'd never seen her act.
[00:31:28] Speaker A: Dina Hashem chose us. She'd been through a couple of times.
[00:31:31] Speaker B: She'd been through this room or this place.
[00:31:33] Speaker A: Yeah, she'd been in the place. And when it came up, I want to make us special, she said, it's got to be the Lincoln Lodge.
[00:31:41] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:31:41] Speaker C: That's.
[00:31:41] Speaker A: I know for a fact that there would be nefarious forces whispering in her ear. Don't do it.
[00:31:48] Speaker B: At the Lincoln Law, there were nefarious
[00:31:50] Speaker A: forces, but she stuck to her guns and said, no, it's going to be there.
[00:31:55] Speaker B: Wow. So what year was this?
[00:31:57] Speaker A: I want to say two years ago. No, it could be even three.
[00:32:03] Speaker B: So did you know Dina Hashem?
[00:32:06] Speaker C: No.
[00:32:07] Speaker B: Christian beforehand. She's. She's a regular here, you would say.
[00:32:11] Speaker A: No, she's a Chicagoan. She hasn't been. No, no, no. She hasn't been here for a year. She looks like. I went to her website. Doesn't look like she's been doing a lot of things, touring, to be honest, but she. She came through at least twice before the. You know, just coming through town, like, and. Yeah, so when she said, I'd love to do the special, I was like, go for it. Yeah, we'd love to it to have it.
[00:32:34] Speaker B: Okay, so when this was filmed a couple years ago, were you here during the process or you like.
[00:32:39] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: Oh, you were. You were. You were.
[00:32:41] Speaker A: It was a whole bloody production.
[00:32:43] Speaker B: Well, tell us a little bit about what. What goes into shooting a special. We've seen it from best or we've heard it from best selling's angle. But what about, you know, from being the host of one of these specials?
[00:32:55] Speaker A: Well, it was just a whole bunch of. Bunch of shite, obviously. Like, hey, we want to. Do you have a trust to hang the curtain that we want to use and different curtain.
Yeah, yeah, they put their own and those lights. Yeah, they're nothing to do with us, so they wanted that. So I'm like, yeah, that's fine. I can rig those. I can do. You can put your curtain up. I'll put a trust for it.
And there was on the. They sort of did the whole room and then really, it stays pretty tight.
The, the.
How do I say this?
[00:33:27] Speaker B: Did they show the whole room at any point? At the beginning?
[00:33:29] Speaker A: No. And they were doing like establishing shots, as I believe you and people in Hollywood call it. Everyone like walking in the building and doing this. Yeah. And that. None of that got used.
[00:33:40] Speaker B: No green room shots or anything?
[00:33:41] Speaker A: No, nothing like that.
[00:33:43] Speaker B: Because you got a kind of a nice green room here or multiple green.
[00:33:46] Speaker A: At the time, it would have just been plain white. It would have looked like going into
[00:33:50] Speaker C: a, like conference room before some. Some second coming of Michelangelo painted the Lincoln Lodge logo on the side of the wall.
[00:33:57] Speaker B: You did, you did the logo.
[00:34:00] Speaker C: You better believe it.
[00:34:02] Speaker A: So at the time, you. You would have just thought you were in a. In a conference room. But yeah, they did all this shite. We want three cameras, we want this and that. But then when I sort of got into it with. I'm not into it with them. They didn't listen to my advice.
They wanted this sitting down in the front.
[00:34:20] Speaker C: Thank you. This. I was obsessed with this the whole time.
[00:34:23] Speaker A: And I said, I don't know about that. The people who are sat there are gonna have to sit cross legged for over an hour.
[00:34:31] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:34:31] Speaker A: If it's me, I'm not. I'm gonna be good with this. So what I said is, here's what I'm gonna do when people come into and they're in the bar, right. I go, we don't have the time to f around asking people and debating and arguing with them.
[00:34:49] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:34:50] Speaker A: So I said, the only way to get through this is I'm gonna go into the lobby before the show and when I'm gonna check people in with a wristband and I'm gonna ask them, we're gonna have a row sitting down the front on cushions. Do you want to be in that row? And I said, if people like. No, piss off.
And you won't be able to do it.
[00:35:09] Speaker C: Right.
[00:35:09] Speaker A: But Enough people said, yeah. And yet you look at that one guy.
[00:35:13] Speaker C: Yes. That's what this whole page of notes is about, is about that one guy.
[00:35:16] Speaker A: His missus is trying to make him comfortable, Right? And then he switches out with a woman in the baseball hat. From the second show.
[00:35:24] Speaker C: I even wrote down, I can't imagine being told I'll be sitting on a cushion.
[00:35:28] Speaker A: They weren't told. They were right.
[00:35:30] Speaker C: Because I'm figuring, like, I'm figuring this guy was probably brought into the room. I mean, he's a big guy. He should. He's not a cushion sitter. You know, his legs are too long.
He's the guy. He doesn't sit in the back seat of a car. You know, he has to sit in the passenger seat at least because he's a bigger dude. He's not gonna sit on a cushion. And I'm thinking, like, this guy was sat there like he didn't have a choice, you know? And this poor guy is just, like, going along with it, like, fine. You know, Like I'm figuring, like, his. His girlfriend or his partner or whoever that was with him, like, she really wanted to be there. And he's like, fine, I'll sit here. And you could see him squirming. You notice it early, you know, and then it's throughout the entire show. He can't. He doesn't know where to put his legs. He can't fit his size 13 new balances underneath his knees to cross his legs the whole time. But to know that he chose to sit there is even more wild.
[00:36:14] Speaker B: So there's only. There's only a couple audience members. You can see during the special, the ones that are sitting on to the right.
[00:36:19] Speaker A: Right.
[00:36:19] Speaker B: If you're looking straight.
[00:36:20] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:36:21] Speaker B: Those people are sitting on cushions.
[00:36:23] Speaker C: They're stage.
[00:36:23] Speaker B: Stage left.
[00:36:24] Speaker C: Right.
[00:36:25] Speaker B: They're on cushion. I never noticed that. They're sitting on cushions.
[00:36:27] Speaker C: Little cushions.
[00:36:28] Speaker B: I couldn't tell how they were sitting.
[00:36:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. We had a basement full of cushions because I said, we haven't got enough cushions.
[00:36:34] Speaker B: Why did you put them in cushions?
[00:36:36] Speaker A: I think it was meant to look Middle Easterny. That was what the lights and everything were about, paying into the room. But it's. What was hilarious is in the edit, there was to obviously tape twice.
[00:36:47] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:36:48] Speaker A: And so the uncomfortable guy, who you immediately notice keeps switching with a woman in a baseball.
[00:36:55] Speaker B: It was like Bewitched.
[00:36:56] Speaker C: She's wearing a beanie. It was like Bewitched wearing, like a.
A winner hat. And I started thinking, because she. So that cup. So it's funny. So the. The guy and his. And his partner.
First of all, they weren't really laughing that much.
[00:37:09] Speaker B: Like, no, they did not enjoy.
[00:37:10] Speaker C: And he keeps shuffling around and I'm. And I'm watching. But then when, like, they're only like, a few times. I've written. I've written down, like, every time that the other couple makes an appearance. But they're only there for, like, one joke. But they're a much more like, more smiling. They're comfortable on the cushion. I'm thinking she must have not done as well the night of the attractive couple being there. She' did. Of the uncomfortable couple being there otherwise. Because the uncomfortable couple was there for, like, 90% of the show.
[00:37:37] Speaker A: Well, I would guess they were there for the first show then, because you
[00:37:40] Speaker B: would like a seven and a nine.
[00:37:42] Speaker A: Yeah, it was like that. Yeah.
[00:37:43] Speaker B: So imagine.
[00:37:44] Speaker C: Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. She must have gotten more laughs on the Uncomfortable Couple's show, which is why they use that footage.
[00:37:51] Speaker B: This is what I've always contended on this program, that this is the kind of editing that goes on in a lot of these specials.
[00:37:57] Speaker A: Right.
[00:37:57] Speaker B: Like where they might chop up five different nights. Guys wearing the same outfit.
[00:38:02] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:38:03] Speaker B: And, you know, they zoom in on them. You can't tell where he is. Yeah, but that was just.
[00:38:10] Speaker C: This guy chose to sit on a cushion.
[00:38:12] Speaker A: Yeah. I can't believe what he's thinking. Right.
[00:38:14] Speaker B: So who sat on cushions?
[00:38:15] Speaker C: Just the whole front row.
[00:38:17] Speaker A: Yeah, just the front.
[00:38:18] Speaker B: Even the people whose backs of heads you were looking at, they were on cushions.
[00:38:21] Speaker A: No, no, they would have been on.
[00:38:22] Speaker C: You can. You can see they're like tears, you know, I can't.
[00:38:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I didn't even notice that. I didn't put that together.
[00:38:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
I just instantly remembered the aggravation I had over that.
[00:38:36] Speaker C: And craning your neck upwards the whole time.
[00:38:39] Speaker B: The stage felt like.
[00:38:40] Speaker A: So your ass hurts and you.
[00:38:42] Speaker C: Right. And your neck hurt, and you can't wait to get out of there.
[00:38:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Doesn't make you want to laugh.
[00:38:46] Speaker C: No, it does not make you want to laugh.
[00:38:47] Speaker B: Yeah, you shouldn't think about that. The stage reminded me of that British gal that we watched.
[00:38:53] Speaker C: I can't remember her name. Rory.
[00:38:55] Speaker B: Josie Long.
[00:38:56] Speaker A: Josie Long.
[00:38:57] Speaker B: Is that. Was that right? Josie Long. It was a similar setup.
[00:39:01] Speaker C: Who's Rory Scoville? Is that a comic? Yeah.
[00:39:05] Speaker B: Okay.
Okay. So all these people that. That were in the audience, though, they follow Dina Hashem. They came to see Dina Hashem. They weren't just here for Friday night at the lot? No, they came for Dean Hashem. So she's got a nice following, you would say?
[00:39:20] Speaker A: I would say, yeah.
[00:39:21] Speaker B: How many followers does she have on Instagram?
[00:39:24] Speaker A: Not a shitload. I did go look her up, because as soon as I watch this special, I was like, you know what? We should get her back.
And. And the followers isn't.
Isn't, you know, in. Obviously, no one's like Shane Gillis numbers, but it is.
[00:39:39] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:39:40] Speaker A: You know, she's got. It's not what I would.
It's not when we. When someone, an agent approaches us and says, we know. We want to show four, show wrong.
[00:39:50] Speaker B: You say, how many followers you got?
[00:39:51] Speaker A: Well, we don't say it. We just look because they'll bullshit us, you know?
But it's not at that level, I would have thought.
[00:39:59] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:40:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:40:00] Speaker A: But she filled the house.
[00:40:02] Speaker B: She been in any programs that I might have seen on the television?
[00:40:06] Speaker A: No, I don't think so.
[00:40:07] Speaker B: Movies? How about movies? Anything I might have seen at the multiplex?
[00:40:11] Speaker A: No.
Okay.
[00:40:15] Speaker B: How is her career now? You said she's not really on tour now, but she's got multiple specials. This her only special?
[00:40:23] Speaker A: This is the only one thus far.
[00:40:25] Speaker B: Okay. And she tells us about being from New Jersey and all that.
She was never here, though, as a Chicago comedian. In the scene. She was never part of the scene.
[00:40:35] Speaker A: New.
[00:40:36] Speaker B: Okay. Dina Hashem's.
Well, she's the second Middle Eastern comedian we've had in the past month.
[00:40:46] Speaker A: Five left.
[00:40:47] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:40:47] Speaker B: You're.
[00:40:48] Speaker C: You're.
[00:40:49] Speaker B: You're motioning about something. What is it?
[00:40:51] Speaker C: We have five minutes left.
[00:40:52] Speaker B: On what, the SD card?
[00:40:54] Speaker C: No. To talk about Dina Hashem.
[00:40:56] Speaker B: We do, yeah. Why? Because you're really holding us to this format.
[00:40:59] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:41:00] Speaker B: Are you trying to get this in Program canceled or something?
[00:41:03] Speaker C: I'm taking the advice of our listeners.
[00:41:05] Speaker B: Okay. That's good.
You talk to my wife?
[00:41:10] Speaker C: No.
[00:41:11] Speaker B: Well, there's other listeners.
I don't like the pressure of having to, you know, talk about this in five minutes.
Well, Dina Hashem is the. The second Middle Eastern comedian we've reviewed in the past month. I'd say, or so. Who could forget the Great Czarnagarg?
[00:41:30] Speaker C: The Great Zarnagarg?
[00:41:32] Speaker B: Now we have two very different Middle Eastern comedians. Right.
[00:41:36] Speaker A: And who could forget Zonagog isn't Middle Eastern. She's Asian.
[00:41:39] Speaker C: She's Asian. Oh, like, we covered that extensively.
[00:41:41] Speaker B: We don't want to do that again.
[00:41:43] Speaker C: No.
[00:41:43] Speaker B: How about we do the British isle? United Kingdom?
[00:41:47] Speaker C: Yeah. What's Scotland?
[00:41:48] Speaker B: England.
[00:41:49] Speaker C: Isle of Man.
[00:41:50] Speaker A: No, we ain't got Time. Let's get to Dina Hashem.
[00:41:53] Speaker B: We are getting to Dean Hashem. Laying the groundwork if you. If you really want to. We also had a Middle Eastern comedian last week in Kumil Nanjiani.
[00:42:02] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:42:02] Speaker B: Also Asian.
[00:42:03] Speaker C: Very, very muscly.
[00:42:04] Speaker B: He's Asian. What are you showing me?
[00:42:06] Speaker A: Look at that donation from a show last night.
[00:42:11] Speaker B: Ashrad Garg.
[00:42:13] Speaker A: No, there's another garg.
[00:42:14] Speaker B: Oh, it's not really a. You see all these.
I'm thinking about taking a class here.
[00:42:21] Speaker C: You should.
[00:42:21] Speaker B: A stand up comedy class.
[00:42:22] Speaker C: Take the production. 101 class.
[00:42:23] Speaker B: Beginners. 101.
Would I get a discount?
[00:42:28] Speaker A: No.
[00:42:29] Speaker B: Friends and family discount.
[00:42:30] Speaker C: We had some grad shows the other night, and I'm gonna take a class. I was showing the World cup game.
Some of the comics that have been performing here for, you know, years were here, and one of them had a good idea. He's like, what if I joined the class and just started smoking? Everybody smoking.
[00:42:46] Speaker B: Everybody in class, like, just being really.
[00:42:47] Speaker C: He's a veteran. You know, he's been doing it forever. He's just like, oh, yeah, I don't know, how do you do this? And he gets up there and just starts destroying. Then he said, or what if somebody's better than me?
[00:42:56] Speaker A: And they probably will be, because most classes have at least one or two people who you just like, wow, they're good. They listen to what you tell them, apply it, and they move two years in five weeks.
[00:43:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:43:11] Speaker A: I also think you would be there just to disrupt.
[00:43:15] Speaker B: No, I wouldn't.
[00:43:15] Speaker A: And. And nihilist. Nihilize.
[00:43:18] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:43:18] Speaker B: To me, it would be like going to an AA meeting, you know, it would be that kind of vibe. Like, I'd bring the coffee and I just. I just want to see the people and experience it and listen to their. Listen to their acts, you know?
Yeah. Smoke my Willie's remedy, the chain smoker hemp. You smoke in the class.
All right.
[00:43:36] Speaker C: What do you call it? Rope smoking. If you're smoking.
[00:43:38] Speaker B: Smoking rope.
[00:43:38] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:43:39] Speaker C: Or if you're chain smoking hemp cigarettes.
[00:43:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Smoking rope. That's what it is.
Dina Hashem.
Very different from Zarnagar. I know they're not this, you know, but they're from Middle Earth.
Is that fair to say?
[00:43:55] Speaker A: You mean not America? Yeah. They're both from not. Well, they know one's from America.
[00:44:00] Speaker B: Was Zarna Garg a Muslim? No, she was Hindu.
[00:44:03] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:44:04] Speaker B: Okay. So that doesn't really work.
[00:44:06] Speaker A: There are no Muslims in India.
[00:44:08] Speaker B: Famous Muslim comedians go.
Cat Stevens, the singer, not a comedian.
[00:44:18] Speaker C: Muslim Comedian dabbled in a. I was also going to say Cat Stevens. Kumail.
[00:44:22] Speaker B: Is he Muslim?
[00:44:24] Speaker A: Yeah, he is.
[00:44:25] Speaker B: Kumail from Pakistan.
[00:44:27] Speaker A: And Pakistan is a Muslim nation.
[00:44:29] Speaker B: I don't know. Okay. Others.
Khalil.
[00:44:33] Speaker A: You see, that was my next one.
[00:44:35] Speaker C: Yeah, I was gonna say Khalil too.
[00:44:37] Speaker B: You know, you don't know.
[00:44:38] Speaker A: I hate this. I hate this rapid fire name game.
[00:44:41] Speaker C: I, I don't. I've never liked the something, something, go, go thing.
[00:44:44] Speaker B: I hate that.
[00:44:45] Speaker C: I hate when people do that. But it gets.
[00:44:47] Speaker B: It's like free associations. Whatever pops in your head, you really learn.
[00:44:49] Speaker C: I don't like being ordered around like that.
[00:44:51] Speaker B: All right, well, I, I like her tenor, I like her timber. I like her energy.
[00:45:03] Speaker A: The fact that she's not prancing around stage.
[00:45:05] Speaker B: Yeah. She's letting it breathe. Yes. She lets it all breathe, maybe to a fault. Right.
There's some real dead spots interact, I think. But I like that she's just, she's wearing.
Seems like the whole time she's looking down on the floor at a set list. Doesn't it seem like that?
[00:45:22] Speaker C: Yeah, kind of.
[00:45:23] Speaker B: She's looking to her notes.
[00:45:24] Speaker C: She's probably looking at the front row.
[00:45:25] Speaker A: Yeah, she's looking at the front row going.
[00:45:27] Speaker B: People like that.
[00:45:28] Speaker A: My back.
[00:45:29] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
But she's in no hurry.
She does.
She does it at her own pace. And I like that.
[00:45:39] Speaker A: I had a repeated thing that every bit she did, she could actually have gone longer on it.
[00:45:45] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah.
[00:45:46] Speaker A: Like. Like that bit she had about where she carrying her brother's baby and she just stands on the punchline. It's my brother's. Right. Yeah.
I mean, if you think about that premise of what if you had done that?
There's, there's. You could do an entire one woman show on like, I had my brother's baby, like, and she's. She's done with it.
[00:46:13] Speaker B: But she didn't have her brother's baby.
[00:46:14] Speaker A: No, no, she didn't. But she could have.
[00:46:16] Speaker B: That's a great idea.
Inbred.
[00:46:18] Speaker A: She could have been. But what if I had and then inbred jokes.
[00:46:24] Speaker B: Would it be inbred? Yeah, she could have taken that long.
[00:46:25] Speaker A: She could have gone. She could have. And she just.
[00:46:27] Speaker C: Did you think it was intentional, do you think?
[00:46:29] Speaker B: No, I think she's just amateurish.
I don't mean that in a bad way. I just mean, like, she's.
Yeah, she's just not, you know, the
[00:46:39] Speaker C: fully realized think of it.
[00:46:42] Speaker B: Yeah. I think there was a couple examples of that very thing. Like, there were bits where, like They're. They're short and they're. They had so much more life to them. Like the one about her being hairy, you know.
[00:46:53] Speaker A: Yeah. My comedians would carry that.
[00:46:55] Speaker B: Yeah, you could carry that for a long time.
[00:46:57] Speaker A: Right?
[00:46:58] Speaker B: And she says, like. And I love that she's like, you ever heard the expression, if there's grass on the field, then play ball? And like, nobody really had heard that, I guess, but. And then she's like, well, what if the grass is too long? She could have kept going and going with that.
[00:47:12] Speaker C: You know, I missed that joke. That's funny.
[00:47:14] Speaker A: Like, whole baseball sex.
[00:47:15] Speaker B: Well, anecdote could have been. Yeah, yeah. Just. I think it's. It's.
[00:47:19] Speaker C: I could have gone for more. 9 11.
Yeah.
[00:47:23] Speaker B: Yeah, those are pretty good.
[00:47:24] Speaker C: The 911. Don't forget about it from the fireman. That.
[00:47:28] Speaker B: Yeah, those were good.
[00:47:29] Speaker C: That was the peak for me.
[00:47:30] Speaker A: The.
She had one of the best lines I think we've heard in specials. What for? And can you guess what that line is?
[00:47:39] Speaker B: Yeah, hold on.
[00:47:40] Speaker A: You know what it is?
[00:47:41] Speaker B: The meek are going to inherit the earth.
[00:47:43] Speaker A: Nope.
Rewind him back.
[00:47:46] Speaker B: Grandma checks my hymen.
[00:47:48] Speaker A: Nope, it's earlier on.
[00:47:52] Speaker B: God is out and straight white men are also up.
She said she took a solid log.
[00:48:00] Speaker A: No, this is all things that you would, like, think about what Mark Gary
[00:48:03] Speaker C: would, like, talk about fixing something.
[00:48:07] Speaker A: She says if you see a woman holding a microphone.
[00:48:11] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I did have that down here.
[00:48:12] Speaker A: Sure. And I just pissed myself.
[00:48:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I have that written. Where did.
Yeah, I. I know. I talked about. Oh, that was on the other side of my page.
[00:48:22] Speaker A: Yeah. And then she tied in with the dad hate with the. I had to vote Trump because I needed someone to keep my dad out of the country.
[00:48:30] Speaker B: Yeah. With the Trump.
[00:48:31] Speaker A: They were. They were diamonds.
[00:48:33] Speaker B: Yeah, she's got good material.
Yeah, she's got good material. Do you notice at the very beginning in special when she comes out, there's some dude that's like. Like bowing down over.
[00:48:44] Speaker A: Yeah, that was the front row. Yeah.
[00:48:46] Speaker B: Who's that guy?
[00:48:47] Speaker C: Yeah, who was that guy?
[00:48:48] Speaker A: I mean, he's front row. So obviously when I said, do you want to go on the front row? He's like, yeah.
[00:48:53] Speaker C: Champing at the bit.
[00:48:54] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:48:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
Yeah, I got a bunch of stuff written down.
[00:49:00] Speaker C: That was weird, though. I didn't like that. The guy bowing.
It seemed it was too much.
[00:49:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:49:06] Speaker C: Like, dude, stop making this about you.
[00:49:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:49:08] Speaker C: Sit down.
[00:49:09] Speaker B: Yeah, but I did think, like, I thought her material was really good. A lot of it. But her. It was clunky. She's clunky. But is she meant to be clunky? Right. She's kind of clunky. You know what I mean by that? Like, her transitions aren't smooth, which I don't mind, but, like, is it. Is that part of her charm or is she just inept?
[00:49:30] Speaker A: Well, for me, I don't care about it. For you. I would have thought that would be a positive, not a negative.
[00:49:35] Speaker B: It is for me.
[00:49:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:49:37] Speaker B: Unless she's just shitty.
Is she shitty like, you watch Adam Sandler, right. And he is the clunkiest comedian there is. It's all just tripping over his own words and non sequiturs. And that's the act.
That's right. Is that what she's going for here or. She's just.
[00:49:56] Speaker A: She's a very subdued young lady. So I don't think she's, you know, she's not like, doing an affectation like Emo Phillips.
[00:50:06] Speaker B: Right. She does a little.
[00:50:07] Speaker A: This is just.
[00:50:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:50:09] Speaker A: Who I am.
[00:50:10] Speaker B: Yeah. And I like that. Right. She is who she is. It's not identity. Right. She is Muslim. She is Iranian. I think she says, why do you scoff it off like it doesn't matter?
[00:50:21] Speaker A: Because it doesn't.
[00:50:22] Speaker B: Doesn't matter if she's Iranian or Iraqi.
[00:50:24] Speaker A: No, she's a Yank.
[00:50:25] Speaker B: Persian.
[00:50:26] Speaker A: She's a Yank.
[00:50:26] Speaker B: She's a Yankee. She's a Yank.
But she doesn't play. Like, she doesn't say, why am I Iranian and a comedian like Zarna Garg, who's not Iranian. But I'm going to make this entire act about that, about being Iranian and a comedian, how my parents are so oppressive. There are bits in there about it, but it's, you know, it's just one of, you know, her, you know, 20 bits, which. That's how it should be.
[00:50:51] Speaker A: It's not Ari Shafird.
[00:50:53] Speaker B: It's not Ari Sheffier. It's not Zarna Garg.
It's not.
[00:50:57] Speaker C: Who do you think it's maybe because she didn't come up, like, remember we came with the. The theory that people do that because they become like Instagram and TikTok famous, where every joke just is one joke over and over again.
Maybe she was more of a.
Not. Since she doesn't have that many social media followers. She clearly doesn't really subscribe to that sort of.
[00:51:17] Speaker B: Forget it. Forget it. It has.
Does not have to do with that.
[00:51:20] Speaker A: This gal's a writer of jokes.
[00:51:23] Speaker B: Has she got any writing credits?
[00:51:25] Speaker A: I don't know about that, but she Is a.
She is a writer of jokes.
[00:51:31] Speaker B: Listen, let me remind both of you, when you pick a comedian, it is your job to know all about them. You to do all the research so that when we ask questions about him or her.
[00:51:43] Speaker C: Why are you saying this?
[00:51:43] Speaker A: Who.
[00:51:43] Speaker C: What are you. What are you talking about?
[00:51:45] Speaker B: You guys pick these comedians, and then you don't know any of the first fucking thing about them. Do the research.
[00:51:50] Speaker C: Who are you talking to right now?
[00:51:51] Speaker B: Both of you.
[00:51:53] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:51:54] Speaker A: I was off on the followers. 101k followers.
[00:51:58] Speaker B: Is that a lot?
[00:51:59] Speaker C: Yeah. Is that a lot?
[00:52:00] Speaker A: I just ignore that last comment. Yeah. Trying to bait.
[00:52:03] Speaker C: Annoying.
[00:52:03] Speaker B: Bait you. I'm really talking to him, but I wouldn't want to seem like I'm targeting.
[00:52:06] Speaker C: I didn't pick this comedian.
[00:52:07] Speaker B: I know, but I. But if I just go with him, then it doesn't. It seems like I'm targeting him.
So I'm throwing you in there.
No one know. No one knows less about the comedian chosen than me. I have no clue.
But I still want you to know.
[00:52:22] Speaker C: Is 101,000 a lot of followers compared to others?
[00:52:26] Speaker A: 101 is.
I thought. I thought it was around the 20 mark. I don't know why that is.
[00:52:31] Speaker B: 20,000.
[00:52:32] Speaker A: Yeah. I must have been looking up some other comedian and. And got the wires crossed. 101 is health healthy. If you come to me with 101, I will say, yeah, you could probably fill that red room.
[00:52:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
It just occurred to me who. Who she reminds me of. It's nobody you would know. Someone in my personal life.
They've been bugging me since I watched it. Couldn't.
[00:52:57] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:52:57] Speaker B: An old student of mine.
[00:52:58] Speaker A: Huh.
Wait, how many minute? We're five over, right?
[00:53:04] Speaker B: We're eight over to the 45 minute.
[00:53:06] Speaker C: Mm.
[00:53:07] Speaker B: Okay. All right. We're really keeping to this.
[00:53:11] Speaker A: Should we.
I never knew Mein Kampf meant my struggle.
[00:53:15] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, sure.
[00:53:17] Speaker A: That was a good one.
[00:53:18] Speaker B: I missed a bit. I must been, like, futzing around in the tent or something. But I heard her talk about mine. Confident I didn't get the setup. What was it about?
[00:53:25] Speaker A: It was the jihad also means struggle.
But obviously, as a Middle Eastern person, you can't even say the word jihad anymore without.
[00:53:35] Speaker B: Right.
[00:53:36] Speaker A: Ringing alarm bells. She said it doesn't mean religious war. It just means struggle.
So she goes, now what I do, I say Mein Kampf instead.
[00:53:45] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
Nice.
[00:53:48] Speaker A: That's the work of a joke writer.
[00:53:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I thought she's a great writer. A lot of originality in her jokes, you know, also some, you know, talking about weed.
[00:53:59] Speaker C: I thought.
[00:54:00] Speaker B: I didn't mind the way she talked about weed, but then she's like.
She did a whole thing about weed and then she went to something else. Then she come back like, dude, what about drugs? Do you guys like drugs? Well, she'd already like. It was a bad. Yeah, that was clunky.
[00:54:11] Speaker C: Right?
[00:54:11] Speaker B: Like, if you were gonna do the drugs, it should have came out of the weed because you're going back to talking about weed again.
[00:54:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:54:16] Speaker B: You know what do you.
[00:54:18] Speaker C: I got real bad news.
[00:54:20] Speaker B: Oh, no.
None of this has been recorded.
[00:54:23] Speaker C: No. Well, your microphone has not been mine. Yeah. Remember when we had to switch right in the beginning?
[00:54:29] Speaker B: But I can hear it.
[00:54:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:54:31] Speaker C: It's just not. It's not recording.
[00:54:32] Speaker A: Are you sure it's not?
[00:54:34] Speaker C: I'm sure.
I'm sure. Because I had to restart the recording and it's still on Channel one rather than channel four. You can probably hear you through Mark's microphone a little bit, but.
[00:54:44] Speaker B: Huh.
[00:54:45] Speaker C: Yeah, we can't hear you.
[00:54:47] Speaker B: Well, this will be an interesting episode.
[00:54:49] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:54:50] Speaker A: Are you sure it isn't recording to the master though?
Maybe his individual track isn't recorded.
[00:54:56] Speaker C: Hopefully. Hope maybe that is it.
[00:54:58] Speaker A: Let's wrap the episode and run over to the computer and check it up.
[00:55:01] Speaker C: All right.
[00:55:03] Speaker B: Well, balls. We're gonna re record this whole thing.
I got nothing to do.
[00:55:09] Speaker A: Can you remember?
[00:55:10] Speaker B: I've got 12 donuts. Put a pot on and we'll crank it out again if we have to. Hey, this is the nature of the biz, right? Sometimes you got to go. You got to do it twice.
[00:55:21] Speaker A: All right, let's do the. Let's do the. The sum up at least.
[00:55:24] Speaker B: All right, the sum up. We're summing it up.
Dina Hashem, Dark Little Secrets, 2022, filmed at the Lincoln Lodge.
People sitting cross legged on cushions to create a Middle Eastern Japanese vibe.
People, audience members were subbed out like Dick York and Dick Sargent in the show Bewitched.
You're looking at what audience member and then the next minute you're looking at someone else sitting in that same seat.
That was cool.
[00:55:55] Speaker A: We should do a rating system where it's like.
It's just binary. So if binary. If you thought it was fail. If you thought it was good, it was woman in Beanie. If you thought it was bad, it was grimacing.
[00:56:09] Speaker B: Woman in Beanie loved it.
[00:56:11] Speaker C: Yeah, she did.
[00:56:11] Speaker B: She, Dina Hashem could do no wrong to woman Beanie.
[00:56:16] Speaker A: So that's how we write it. All right.
[00:56:18] Speaker B: We're gonna. I like that. Binary 1 or the other pass or fail.
Dina Hashem. Never heard of her until this special.
I'm going right into my writing here. Okay. I'm giving her for good joke writing originality, not playing up the race card like some comedians who try to cash in on 9, 11 or the cold War. Like Yakov Smirnoff does not do a Yakov Smirnoff. Like a Czarnagarg. Czarnagar is just a Yakov Smirnoff.
I'm giving her. Well, I can't give her high ratings, but I'm going to give her a Woman in Beanie all the way. Woman in Beanie.
[00:57:05] Speaker A: Right.
[00:57:05] Speaker C: So we're between Woman in Beanie and Uncomfortable Man. Yeah, I think it should be between Woman and Beanie and Woman. That wasn't laughing. That was with uncomfortable men. Because Uncomfortable Man. He was. At least. That's.
[00:57:17] Speaker B: That's not binary. That's trinary.
[00:57:18] Speaker C: Yeah, but she was. She was miserable. He was just uncomfortable.
[00:57:23] Speaker B: They were both uncomfortable.
[00:57:25] Speaker A: So. Okay, so we're not. But so we're. Woman in Beanie is high ground.
Uncomfortable man is middle.
[00:57:32] Speaker C: No, we don't.
[00:57:32] Speaker B: How about Dick York is good.
[00:57:35] Speaker C: We can still keep binary.
All right, I'm going with Dick York. I'm going with Woman in Beanie regardless.
[00:57:42] Speaker B: Because you liked Dina Hashem.
[00:57:43] Speaker C: Yes, I did.
[00:57:45] Speaker B: Yeah. She's great.
[00:57:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:57:47] Speaker B: This is a comedian that I can watch.
[00:57:49] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:57:49] Speaker A: It must have been a stunning surprise to learn it was in that room.
[00:57:52] Speaker C: Yeah. I had no idea.
[00:57:53] Speaker B: He just learned just now.
[00:57:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:57:56] Speaker B: Yeah. It was a surprise to me to learn that was in the room.
Had you seen it before?
No, we just watched it.
[00:58:03] Speaker A: Yeah. I've been meaning to, because we were up to about how many specials in there now.
I think Dale McPeak was the.
[00:58:11] Speaker C: Oh, like how many of have been filmed in there? Yeah. Dale McPeak, Ronnie Ray, Chris Rock.
[00:58:16] Speaker B: Did his last one, though.
[00:58:18] Speaker C: Did. Did Bobcat. Yeah.
[00:58:23] Speaker A: What's his name?
[00:58:24] Speaker B: Steve Martin.
[00:58:24] Speaker A: Brandon Kiefer did one.
[00:58:26] Speaker B: Brendan Kiefer.
[00:58:28] Speaker C: And I know there's.
[00:58:31] Speaker B: I think he did his.
[00:58:32] Speaker A: Brian Rowe.
[00:58:34] Speaker C: Was that it? Yeah, I think he did. Yeah.
[00:58:36] Speaker A: Yeah, there's been a few.
[00:58:39] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:58:39] Speaker A: That are out there and watching.
[00:58:41] Speaker B: Yeah, they're out there. The Bobcats out there.
[00:58:44] Speaker A: Bobcat is an album. I don't think he ever did the live footage.
[00:58:47] Speaker B: The cat. What's up with the cat? You talk to him? What, is he coming through anytime soon?
[00:58:51] Speaker A: The odd text.
[00:58:52] Speaker B: The odd text.
[00:58:53] Speaker A: He's back in La La Land.
Anyway, I'm doing a Woman in a massive Beanie.
[00:58:59] Speaker B: Massive Beanie.
[00:59:00] Speaker C: Yeah. Okay.
[00:59:00] Speaker A: And this isn't just hometown.
[00:59:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:59:03] Speaker A: Going on. No, it isn't.
[00:59:05] Speaker B: Part of it is.
[00:59:06] Speaker A: No, it isn't.
[00:59:07] Speaker B: Some of it.
[00:59:07] Speaker A: No, it isn't.
[00:59:08] Speaker B: A little. That's why you chose it. I mean, come on.
[00:59:11] Speaker A: No, I chose it just.
[00:59:13] Speaker C: It's like me.
[00:59:13] Speaker B: Loving.
[00:59:13] Speaker A: Thrill. Thrill of seeing you, your face. No, you. You chose Leanne Morgan because you were bullied into it. I wasn't bullied into this.
[00:59:25] Speaker B: So we're giving three. Is this the greatest special we've ever. This isn't that great.
[00:59:29] Speaker A: No, that's not the greatest.
[00:59:31] Speaker B: She's good.
[00:59:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:59:32] Speaker B: She's not John Mulaney, Richard Pryor.
[00:59:37] Speaker A: Great. I mean, it's better than some of the shite we've been watching.
[00:59:40] Speaker C: Yeah, definitely.
[00:59:42] Speaker B: It's fresh. It was. It was refreshing.
[00:59:44] Speaker C: And like Bill said, it's about more than one topic for an hour.
[00:59:47] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what we need.
[00:59:48] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:59:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:59:49] Speaker C: There's an actual stand up special. Not just.
[00:59:53] Speaker B: If anything, it makes me. This made me hate Zarnagar even more.
Wait, I spit on Zaragar.
[00:59:59] Speaker A: No, you positively reviewed Zarnagar.
[01:00:02] Speaker B: No, I didn't.
[01:00:03] Speaker A: You did.
[01:00:04] Speaker B: Well, I hate her now.
I don't remember positively reviewing her. She sucked. No, that I didn't. Zarnagarg blows.
[01:00:10] Speaker C: Well, let's see if this is even recording.
[01:00:12] Speaker A: All right, all right, all right.
[01:00:14] Speaker B: Gong.
[01:00:15] Speaker C: Wait, before we do. Who's got a pick? Say it into my.
[01:00:17] Speaker B: Oh, it's your turn to do it next.
[01:00:20] Speaker C: No, I picked last week.
[01:00:21] Speaker A: Yes, your turn.
[01:00:23] Speaker B: What? No, it's your turn. You're picking next, remember?
[01:00:30] Speaker C: No, what are you talking about? I picked last week.
[01:00:34] Speaker B: No, you're picking next week.

[01:00:37] Speaker B: I'm picking next week, Mary and Joseph.
[01:00:41] Speaker C: For next week, I'm picking Steven Lynch. Live at. Steven Lynch.
[01:00:45] Speaker B: Never heard.
[01:00:46] Speaker C: Live at the Del Rey.
[01:00:47] Speaker A: Never. I've heard the name, but I've never watched him. I'm looking for. Forward to it.
[01:00:51] Speaker B: You are? Okay.
[01:00:53] Speaker C: All right.
