Review: Filth Queen, Steph Tolev

[00:00:13] Speaker A: Yeah, let's just watch a random episode. [00:00:15] Speaker B: The storyline. [00:00:16] Speaker C: Hey, now what the hell was that? Actually, this. This is built right into the soundboard. [00:00:22] Speaker B: What? The soundboard has it? [00:00:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:00:24] Speaker B: Unbelievable. This guy's your audio engineer? [00:00:31] Speaker C: Oh, that's great. [00:00:32] Speaker A: Hey, we've only had the board five years. Can't be expected. [00:00:36] Speaker C: Nobody's. [00:00:37] Speaker B: You ever try any of the buttons out on it? [00:00:40] Speaker C: Just did. [00:00:40] Speaker B: Wow. [00:00:41] Speaker C: Who knows what else this thing does. You think it records? [00:00:44] Speaker A: I'm guessing you can load them up. [00:00:45] Speaker C: Is that coming through your headphones or coming through my phone? [00:00:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:00:50] Speaker C: Well, now I don't understand what the hell is going on. It won't play sound except for if somebody calls me. [00:00:56] Speaker A: Well, that's your phone that's the problem then, isn't it? [00:00:58] Speaker B: It seems to be. What's the number? We got to send the number out to people so that, you know, to call. [00:01:03] Speaker C: I don't want to give out my phone number. I don't have a Google voice number yet. [00:01:08] Speaker B: You'll have all kinds of. [00:01:09] Speaker C: Well, I mean, everyone that listens to this already probably has my phone number. [00:01:16] Speaker A: Boy, are our numbers in this. [00:01:20] Speaker C: Are they? [00:01:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Holy crap. [00:01:22] Speaker B: Feels like more people are listening, but [00:01:23] Speaker A: I don't know how it could get worse. [00:01:25] Speaker C: Really? [00:01:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:26] Speaker C: I wonder if that person was trying to call in. I'm gonna find out. They might have been because they know I'm doing this right now. [00:01:32] Speaker B: Put them on the air. We'll. We'll have it out. [00:01:37] Speaker A: Actually, we should encourage people not to call in because that's one less listen then. Yeah, speaking of calling in, no one's listening. [00:01:45] Speaker C: I was listening to the Whitney Cummings episode, and during the part where Bill calls me so we can see if it works or not, there's an echo. Have you listened to the Jerry Seinfeld one that's coming out later today yet? Is there an echo? [00:01:59] Speaker A: The only thing I listen to is the bit where I caught the fuck, but. [00:02:04] Speaker C: Okay, but did you hear Bill talk at all, right, when you're cutting it? [00:02:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:08] Speaker C: You had to heard it at least like a second of Bill talking. Okay. Yeah, I guess we'll find out. Oh, they were calling. Okay. [00:02:13] Speaker A: I do want him on the air. I do want to do that isolation track experiment. [00:02:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Hey, listen, now's the time to experiment while this. The numbers are low. Once it blows up, then you're not gonna be able to fuck around. You're gonna have to deliver every week. [00:02:29] Speaker C: All right? Is this working? Hello? Yeah. Hello? [00:02:34] Speaker A: Hello? [00:02:34] Speaker B: Who are we talking to? Who's. Who's calling, please? [00:02:38] Speaker C: It's not coming through the board. It's Porky. Yeah. [00:02:41] Speaker B: Hey. [00:02:41] Speaker C: But it's not. [00:02:42] Speaker B: Can you hear me? [00:02:43] Speaker C: See, this isn't working. [00:02:44] Speaker B: I just had soup. I can hear. I can hear it very faintly. It sounds like you're trapped in the closet. [00:02:53] Speaker C: I'm gonna put the speakerphone up to the. Yeah, okay. Where does the sound come out? [00:02:57] Speaker A: Okay, my question. Maybe this will get your review juices flowing, is that there are currently nine members of the Lincoln Lodge Comedy Showcase who rotate performing every Friday and Saturday. Who out of the nine cast members [00:03:12] Speaker B: does your favorite 10 minute set right now and why? Oh, well, I. This is probably not a question for me. I. I've only been to a few shows. [00:03:25] Speaker A: You would have seen two or three of them. A fan of the Lincoln Lodge is what I'm hearing. [00:03:28] Speaker B: No, not true. Not true. [00:03:31] Speaker A: You saw it. [00:03:31] Speaker B: Was this question for me? [00:03:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:33] Speaker B: Who's my favorite? [00:03:34] Speaker A: It's not for me because I don't like anyone. [00:03:35] Speaker B: Well, you can't. You don't want to express your opinion and, you know, play favorites. [00:03:40] Speaker A: Oh, no, I do like to do that. Just needle people. You would have seen. I would have. Feel like. You saw Beth Sterling, right? [00:03:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I saw Beth. Wonderful. [00:03:49] Speaker A: Deanna's bound to have put herself in the show. [00:03:52] Speaker B: She was in there. Yeah, she was the host. I saw the. I saw the Bullduck twins. [00:03:58] Speaker C: Yeah, but they're not in the cast. They should be. [00:04:00] Speaker A: Scanlon, you know, he did your show. [00:04:02] Speaker B: I didn't see the scan man. [00:04:03] Speaker A: No, but you've seen him. [00:04:05] Speaker B: I've seen him before. Yeah. [00:04:08] Speaker A: So who's on the bloody cast? [00:04:09] Speaker C: Yeah. Okay. It's Jerome. [00:04:10] Speaker B: Jenna. [00:04:11] Speaker A: Yeah. There's Dan Grease, Kyle Scanlon, Chris Higgins, Jarell Scott Barnes, Mike Atcherson, Deanna Ortiz, Jenna Gephardt, Lucia Whalen, and Sam Rocha. [00:04:23] Speaker B: I saw Jenna that night, and I saw a black gal. Can I say that? Do I have to cut that? A black gal. [00:04:37] Speaker C: I believe that's okay. [00:04:39] Speaker B: Perform that now. [00:04:40] Speaker A: Isn't the black Al in question was not on the cast? [00:04:42] Speaker B: Okay. And that's. I don't know who else. That's it, I think. [00:04:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:50] Speaker A: So pick. [00:04:51] Speaker B: Well, I don't want to offend. [00:04:52] Speaker C: So go. [00:04:53] Speaker B: The one person that I don't pick, but I. I rather appreciated the filthy humor of. [00:05:04] Speaker C: What's that? Yeah. What are you doing over there? [00:05:05] Speaker B: I appreciated the filthy humor of Jenna Gephardt. [00:05:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I knew you were gonna say that. I was gonna just guess. [00:05:12] Speaker B: Jenna thought she had some. Some ribbled jokes that, you know I thought were very good. I don't remember them at this time, but, yeah, I thought she was a talented, talented comedian. [00:05:26] Speaker A: I'm going to say Deanna, so I don't have to deal with 87 texts at some point in the near future. [00:05:32] Speaker B: But why you didn't pick her. [00:05:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:34] Speaker C: And the second part to the question was why? Well, I guess you said. Oh, well, I guess you both gave a reason why. [00:05:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:39] Speaker C: You don't want the text and you like the filth. [00:05:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't want to be nagged. He isn't. He likes filth. [00:05:45] Speaker B: But I love the Scan Man. For the record, I just didn't see him perform that. [00:05:48] Speaker C: No, it's a tough choice. I mean, they're all. Yeah, they all bring something to the table. [00:05:52] Speaker B: I saw the scan man about 8 years ago up at the Fortrays Tavern. [00:05:56] Speaker A: Wow. [00:05:59] Speaker B: What? [00:05:59] Speaker A: Nothing. What is that? [00:06:00] Speaker B: He just mouthed something. [00:06:02] Speaker C: How do it? [00:06:02] Speaker B: Can I get on the cast, or am I too old to be on the cast? [00:06:06] Speaker A: Yeah, you're not taking any DEI boxes. [00:06:09] Speaker B: Well, I actually am. I could be the older fella. [00:06:12] Speaker C: You need an older guy here or [00:06:14] Speaker B: I'm gonna put a. In a complaint. The city. Who would I complain to for not being. [00:06:20] Speaker A: Okay, well, no, I'm gonna rip that. That's going out. [00:06:23] Speaker C: No Borky. Which one is yours? [00:06:25] Speaker B: Borg. [00:06:25] Speaker C: You're still there. [00:06:27] Speaker A: Yeah. I didn't know whether it was polite or not to hang up. [00:06:30] Speaker B: No, it would have been impolite. [00:06:35] Speaker A: My favorite. I'll just say Jerrell. J's my favorite. He makes me laugh every time I see him. [00:06:40] Speaker B: I don't know no Jarrell. Bro, this got some. Some kind of, like, brick of something in here. [00:06:48] Speaker C: Is it cheese? [00:06:50] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know, but I'm gonna try it. [00:06:51] Speaker A: It looks like it came from bloody Scarface. [00:06:54] Speaker C: All right. We lost our calling up Scarface. [00:06:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:58] Speaker B: I'm gonna eat this right now. Thank you to my friend Christian, who brought. [00:07:02] Speaker C: Absolutely. That comes from El Cubanito on Pulaski and Wrightwood. It's a place that I've been biking past every day for what, four or five years now? And I always. And it's got a big sign outside, you know, Cuban sandwiches. But it's very old sign, so I always thought it was closed. [00:07:18] Speaker A: What does that run you? [00:07:19] Speaker C: It was 425 a pop. [00:07:21] Speaker B: Yep. [00:07:22] Speaker C: For each empanada. [00:07:23] Speaker B: That's not cheap for over on Pulaski. You think when you get over to Pulaski be a little cheap? [00:07:27] Speaker C: Yeah. According to reviews, the. They. They're high Quality, so. Well, I'm hoping that's it. [00:07:34] Speaker B: I'm here to say. [00:07:35] Speaker C: Yeah, what do you think? We're very high quality. Can you confirm? All right, good. Yeah. I don't really know exactly how much each one was. I just asked for four things, and he said it was $17. [00:07:44] Speaker A: So it's $4 because they've got about half a pound of sugar on the bastard. Like. Looks of it. [00:07:50] Speaker B: Yeah. It's like a funnel cake. [00:07:51] Speaker A: It is. That's unreal cheese in it. [00:07:53] Speaker C: But it's funny. I was always wishing this place would be open, so I was thinking that'd be a great place to stop and get a sandwich on my way home from work, et cetera. And always just went right by it thinking, man, that would be great. It's been open this whole time. I just saw people walking out the other day, and I asked Alberto downstairs. I said, you ever been in that Cuban? He said, yeah, place is great. [00:08:08] Speaker B: I know Alberto. [00:08:09] Speaker C: I went inside today, and, yeah, I mean, it's fully staffed. It's got a. It's got a car. It's got an old vintage car. As inside as the counter is a front counter. It's a cool spot. [00:08:19] Speaker B: Damn, it's good. [00:08:20] Speaker C: Yeah. Everyone says great Cuban sandwiches. Good. What are they called? What's the Puerto Rican sandwiches? The plantains, the hibaritos. [00:08:27] Speaker B: Hibarito. That's a Puerto Rican. [00:08:29] Speaker C: Yep. Isn't that what I said? [00:08:30] Speaker B: Oh, I didn't hear. No, I just lost. [00:08:33] Speaker C: That's. That's what I've been told. So now this opens up a whole new world for me of a place to stop and get a sandwich. [00:08:38] Speaker A: Can I just be contrarian? [00:08:39] Speaker C: Of course you came. Yeah, of course. [00:08:41] Speaker A: Mark, all the Cuban sandwiches is a ham and cheese sandwich with a fancy name. End of. [00:08:46] Speaker B: No. [00:08:47] Speaker C: Oh, well, I had a rebuttal, but I guess it's end of. So it's over. [00:08:53] Speaker B: It's got gross pork on it. [00:08:55] Speaker C: That's what I was gonna. That's what I was gonna add. No, but there's gross pork. [00:08:59] Speaker B: Pork. It's got a pork. [00:09:01] Speaker C: It's two different kinds. It's got the. Yeah, it's got the pulled pork, but it's not a barbecue pulled pork. It's just like, you know, a pork shoulder. [00:09:08] Speaker B: Pork cooked in a microwave. [00:09:11] Speaker C: It's boiled beige pork. That's how. That's how my Irish family always cooked everything growing up was just throw it all in a pot and boil it. Boiled chicken, boiled cabbage, boiled everything. Boil the hell out of it. I never knew Chicken could be juicy and tender until I was like 22, 23 years old. [00:09:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I can't. [00:09:28] Speaker C: Yeah, I always thought it was just dry and you had to have a swig of milk just to get it down. [00:09:33] Speaker B: Well, yeah, there's all kinds of food [00:09:36] Speaker C: out there that probably don't know about [00:09:37] Speaker B: outside of boiled meat. [00:09:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:39] Speaker A: God gives. Gives the Irish something else to complain about. [00:09:43] Speaker B: Yeah. All right. All right. Well, I'm eating this. Delicious. [00:09:48] Speaker C: Hey, that's not. [00:09:48] Speaker A: It is. [00:09:49] Speaker C: Look it. I also got. Look at. I got you guys a gift. [00:09:52] Speaker B: When I was in Spain, I did bring us something. [00:09:55] Speaker C: Yep. I brought you something back. Look at that toss. That was perfect. Those right in the numbers. Yeah. I bought these off a street performer. [00:10:03] Speaker B: I love it. [00:10:04] Speaker C: Look, it's kind of like. [00:10:05] Speaker A: It's like Mini Me. [00:10:06] Speaker C: It matches the rest of them. [00:10:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:08] Speaker C: All right. [00:10:09] Speaker B: You know, I like reggae colors. Same. [00:10:12] Speaker C: Yeah, I just got. I. I gave him a few euro for a couple of them. [00:10:15] Speaker B: Tell us about the trip. [00:10:16] Speaker C: Oh, it was great. What's there to say? You know, a lot of great people, great food. The beach was a blast. I went to a flamenco show. I was on a roller coaster in the mountains. Saw the Goya black paintings at the museum. [00:10:31] Speaker B: I'm not familiar with his work. [00:10:33] Speaker C: Yeah, I guess they were all painted on his house. When he became an old man, he was going deaf and he just painted on his walls, and they eventually transferred them to this museum. [00:10:43] Speaker A: That's cool. Painter and Mexican food purveyor. [00:10:46] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he was. He was painting and. [00:10:49] Speaker B: Can I do that Mexican food thing? I don't. [00:10:53] Speaker C: Painting in pintos. That was his slogan. [00:10:57] Speaker A: No, look, next time you're in jewels racks of Goya. [00:11:00] Speaker B: I know. I don't think it's him. [00:11:02] Speaker A: I'm pretty sure. Can't be that many Goyas. [00:11:05] Speaker C: No, there can't. It has to be the same guy. There's only one Goya and he did all that. But, yeah, it was great. I met. I met a hilarious dude named Miguel that owns a cocktail bar. He likes to flip the tins in the air and catch them. So naturally, I was drawn to that sort of fanfare. Did you. [00:11:22] Speaker B: Did you travel in a bohemian fashion or were you living high up the hog. [00:11:27] Speaker A: The hotel, as they would say. [00:11:30] Speaker C: Yeah, Noamian fashion. I just go with the backpack and kind of like bohemian. Yeah, yeah. Rewear the clothes that I've worn the least. And you weren't. [00:11:40] Speaker B: You weren't posh boxing over there? [00:11:42] Speaker C: No, no, not at all. Although the when we were in Madrid, the Hotel Europa is where we stayed. And that, that one, we spent a little extra money just kind of like, come on, you know, we're on vacation, let's at least have like a good time at some hotel. And that one, that I'm not used to a nice hotel and that place was great. Had a balcony that looked over this huge square is. It was great. It had a piano in the lobby too. I put a little concert on for everybody. [00:12:02] Speaker A: You didn't do like the. The Youth Hostel with 17 year old German. [00:12:07] Speaker C: No, no, Germans love it. [00:12:10] Speaker A: Techno music till 3am no, that's not [00:12:14] Speaker C: quite my thing yet, but. But no, it was. Yeah. Spain is a wonderful place. The food, oh my God. [00:12:19] Speaker B: Are you, are you comfortable in like fine dining and fine hotels and things like that? I'm not. [00:12:25] Speaker C: Yeah. Because I've worked in fine dining restaurants, so I, I can, you know, I can blend in. [00:12:31] Speaker B: You know, it's not a matter for me. It's not a matter of blending in or like knowing the, the social graces of being in such a place. It's just more. I'm just not comfortable. I don't want it, you know, it's too expensive and I want to get [00:12:44] Speaker C: fuck out of there. That's, you know, you, that's. I can identify with that. For instance, there was one night, the hotel room that I said that we had the balcony. We were on our way back and I said, let's grab a bottle of wine. I got back there and I said, oh, I don't have a corkscrew, you know, I don't know. So I call the front desk, they're like, yeah, just bring it down to the restaurant and they'll open for you at the restaurant. So great. So I go down there and yeah, I also, I feel uncomfortable even like getting an Uber, you know, like sitting in the backseat, like, yeah, like, I'm sorry that you're driving me somewhere, you know. Thank you for doing this. I feel really bad, you know. And so I'm down there and I give it. I walk up to the bar and some server, hey, yeah, I'll open that for you. And he cuts off the little tinfoil top, you know, like. But it fell on the ground. And as he's opening it, I went, I bent over to pick it up for him and he put his foot over it. He goes, no. You know, because he's probably, he's very used to like, no, like we are here to serve. But I was very uncomfortable. Like, dude, I mean, come on, you know, I'll pick that up for you. [00:13:35] Speaker B: Wouldn't let. [00:13:35] Speaker C: You know. Wouldn't let me. [00:13:36] Speaker B: Then it was even more awkward, and [00:13:38] Speaker C: then I felt like I was offending him. So. Okay. I said, all right. Okay, fine. [00:13:41] Speaker A: So going in a toilet where there's an attendant is the. [00:13:45] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:13:45] Speaker A: In the goddamn world. [00:13:47] Speaker C: There was. I was at. [00:13:49] Speaker B: What do you do in that situation? Do you act like they're not there [00:13:51] Speaker A: and just walk out, all eye contact. You've got to slide the dollar in. Even though every part of your being is like, God, just avoid a contact. Slide the dollar and get the Jeff out. [00:14:03] Speaker C: I was at Howl at the Moon one time, and I walked in and there was a bathroom attendant. [00:14:08] Speaker B: What, there? [00:14:09] Speaker C: Yeah. And I'm standing there at the urinal. I'm thinking, like, man, I know I only have twenties in my wallet. You know, I'm not giving the guy a 20. I don't want to give him anything. I just want to wash my hands and get out of there like everybody else does. I don't want to give him a 20. I also don't want to make change in his basket of poo dollars that he's got over here, you know? And I'm thinking about, like. I'm like, you know what? Just man up. Just like, walk up, say, no, thank you. Wash your hands on your own. And I'm getting myself prepped for this whole interaction, right? Get myself. I'm rehearsing, you know, I turn around, I start to go do it, and this guy that's walking in, there's a flight of stairs right outside. He tripped down the stairs and smacked his head on the corner of the door. Blood starts going everywhere. What? That's what I said. I said, perfect. I stepped over and was. Everybody started freaking out. Wash my hands and got the hell out of there. [00:14:53] Speaker A: One of the other things I'll do as well is prolong the piss in hopes that high traffic. [00:14:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:00] Speaker A: High traffic situation envelops and you can just. Just kind of slide through the traffic. [00:15:06] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah. It's all very stressful [00:15:09] Speaker C: for what? [00:15:10] Speaker B: For a buck? Yeah. A lot of these guys now take the Zell or the Venmo. Yeah. You know, they got the. The QR code, so, you know, whip [00:15:17] Speaker C: your phone out and. [00:15:18] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. All right, well, what else over there? You know, I forewarned you about taking too much drug over there. [00:15:28] Speaker C: Yeah, I didn't take any drugs. Oh, I did. I did buy some. Some fake marijuana. I mean, it was, like, from a store. It wasn't From a guy in the street. But I was like, oh, you got [00:15:37] Speaker B: taken for a ride? [00:15:38] Speaker C: No, no, no. It was like. It was exactly what he said. He's like, it's like the THC9. Yeah, it's like that stuff, you know? I was like, what the hell? It's only a few euros. [00:15:46] Speaker B: It's not legal. [00:15:47] Speaker C: I'll give it a shout. A shout, A shot. I don't know. I don't know. So I was actually surprised it was there. And so I was asking the guy, and he's like, yeah, this is legal, but just don't, like, walk around the street smoking it. So this is where in Barcelona. And so I waited till I was, like, in, you know, some park by myself, and I rolled up, fired it up. Rolled up a little dube. And fired it up, and it wasn't very good. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't finish it. [00:16:09] Speaker B: You get a buzzer or anything? [00:16:11] Speaker C: Kind of. I guess. Yeah. It was nothing. [00:16:15] Speaker B: I was. Yesterday I was looking at. Thinking about smoking cbd hemp. Have you ever tried that? I don't think I. Willie Nelson has a line of. [00:16:27] Speaker C: Yeah, this. That became very popular smoking that stuff. Yeah, well, I think people more took it, like, in pill form or whatever, like an edible or something. [00:16:35] Speaker B: Well, the CBD stuff. [00:16:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:16:36] Speaker B: But what about smoking hemp? [00:16:39] Speaker C: Isn't that something they did, like, during, like, hippie days and. But you didn't have to, like, smoke a ton of it just to get a buzz. [00:16:46] Speaker B: Yeah, it's not going to give you, like, a. [00:16:47] Speaker C: To get the high that you're looking for. [00:16:48] Speaker B: It's more of a relaxing thing. [00:16:50] Speaker C: Oh, is it? [00:16:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:51] Speaker C: Well, yeah. I mean, isn't that just what smoking in general is for, anyway? [00:16:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I think so. Yeah. But. [00:16:56] Speaker A: But nothing more relaxing than filling your lungs full of toxins. [00:17:00] Speaker B: Yeah, for some reason, it is relaxing, you know? All right, so all. All you didn't get rolled over there or lose your passport or. [00:17:08] Speaker C: No, no, no. Everything. Everything went smooth. Took the train from Barcelona to Madrid and back. Yeah, well, it's all about just keeping everything in one little area. You know, you got to keep tabs and everything. You can't get sloppy. [00:17:22] Speaker B: And you need a new pair. Oh, did I step on him? [00:17:27] Speaker C: Oh, the connector. [00:17:31] Speaker A: You two carry on. Yeah, you carry on. [00:17:34] Speaker C: Yeah. So no, no. Lost passport. I tried to go to a Barcelona football club match, and. [00:17:44] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm back. [00:17:45] Speaker C: Yeah, I was sitting. I wanted to go. I was like, I'll just go sit at, like, some cafe by because, like, tickets were like 500 to go to this match, right? [00:17:52] Speaker B: What? [00:17:53] Speaker C: Yeah. And so I'm like, I don't know. I don't want to go that bad. So I'll just go like, you know, I'm thinking like, Wrigleyville, you know, Like, I'll just go somewhere nearby, be part of the action. And so I did. I went to this place, got a, you know, lunch or whatever. And I'm sitting there, I'm watching on the tv, and I swear I can hear the crowd outside cheering, you know. And I only stayed around for the beginning of it, but then it kind of dawned on me later that the place was under construction. I don't think there was a crowd there. I think I was just watching it on TV at a bar. [00:18:20] Speaker A: What, were they at home or away? [00:18:23] Speaker C: Maybe that was it, too. [00:18:24] Speaker B: Jesus. You were on smoking Delta 9. [00:18:28] Speaker C: They were home. I did look that up. I looked it up. I know that they were at home. At home. But I don't know if they were playing in that stadium because somebody did. [00:18:34] Speaker B: And you were near the stadium thinking you could hear the roar. [00:18:36] Speaker C: So I don't know if I was tricking myself or if I actually did hear it. [00:18:39] Speaker B: But then you dawned on you that you might have just been hearing construction. [00:18:42] Speaker C: It dawned on me that I didn't see a lot of people around. [00:18:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:45] Speaker C: So I don't know. I don't really know what happened. [00:18:47] Speaker B: Sounds like that. Delta 9. [00:18:50] Speaker C: Oh, Christ. It was a Saturday that I was there. So what was that, the 25th or something like that? [00:18:57] Speaker A: They were away. [00:18:58] Speaker C: No way. [00:18:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:00] Speaker C: Christ. Well, so I guess that answers that. [00:19:03] Speaker A: There are a way to get half a. [00:19:04] Speaker C: No. Okay. Who. But was it. That was that Saturday. That's a Saturday. [00:19:10] Speaker A: Saturday, April 25th. [00:19:11] Speaker C: Okay. [00:19:12] Speaker A: Full time. Barcelona, 2, Getafe, 0, nil. [00:19:16] Speaker C: This Getafe's colors, blue and white. [00:19:19] Speaker A: Yes. [00:19:20] Speaker C: Okay. I saw a bunch of those fans there. Well, this. This is really putting some puzzle pieces together. And I was not smoking Delta 9 that day. I was just regular old dumb. [00:19:30] Speaker B: Hey, look at this. Do you think. You think this will hold the hot dogs? [00:19:34] Speaker C: Anything? The hot dogs. [00:19:36] Speaker B: Think we can get the hot dogs in there? They look. It looks too shallow. [00:19:38] Speaker A: No, no, they'll bend. [00:19:40] Speaker C: I don't want to bend. [00:19:41] Speaker A: Them hot dogs bend, don't break. [00:19:44] Speaker B: So while you were gone, we didn't know what to do, you know, we were just sitting around here. [00:19:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:19:48] Speaker B: Waiting for you to get back. For two weeks, three weeks. So him and I went to a Cubs game together. [00:19:55] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:19:56] Speaker B: Yep. [00:19:56] Speaker C: Oh, and you're talking about how to get hot dogs inside the game. [00:19:59] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't think I brought anything that day because I had to come from work, but usually I bring that big lunch pail. And he. He gave me a great idea that we can bring hot dogs into the game by filling a thermos full of hot water, boiling water, then put the hot dogs into the. [00:20:15] Speaker C: That's not where I thought you were gonna go. All right. The water. [00:20:18] Speaker B: Yep. Why water hot? Because you keep them hot, boil them, and. [00:20:22] Speaker C: But why can't you just put the hot hot dogs into a thermos and that will keep hot? [00:20:28] Speaker B: You bought it from a street vendor. [00:20:29] Speaker C: Sounds gross. [00:20:30] Speaker B: They would come, they would pull them out of the water. Like in New York City. Right. Keep them nice and hot. Not gonna stay that hot. And then we'll bring the buns on the side and the condiments and make our own hot dogs at the game. [00:20:42] Speaker C: Did you try this? [00:20:43] Speaker B: No, because I didn't have. I wasn't able to do it that day. But I'm starting to get things ready for it. [00:20:47] Speaker C: I want to see how this goes. [00:20:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:49] Speaker C: I don't. I just don't. I don't. I guess. Okay, fine. The water. Yeah, I guess. [00:20:52] Speaker A: But do the old scrotes make you show them what's in the container? Well, that's going to be the challenge. The. [00:20:58] Speaker B: The scrotes usually don't stop me at all to look in the. In the cooler. I sling it around my back, and I come in right at them. Like this. [00:21:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:21:07] Speaker B: You know, and I have it strapped across my front thing on the back. Yeah. So they never really stopped me. But. [00:21:12] Speaker C: But even if they could, even if they did, though, you're allowed to bring food in. Yep. You know, they're probably just looking for booze in the thermos, and once they see it's hot dogs. [00:21:19] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't think they can stop us. [00:21:20] Speaker C: You're. [00:21:21] Speaker B: I just worry about the. The thermos being, like, a weapon. [00:21:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:25] Speaker B: So might need to get, like, a plastic one. You know what I mean? [00:21:29] Speaker A: Like, they're not gonna do thermos as a weapon. [00:21:32] Speaker B: Well, I talked to the guy about glass. He's like, yeah, we really don't want you to bring glass in here. [00:21:36] Speaker C: That's different. Glass breaks. The thermos isn't gonna break. [00:21:39] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, I think we're good. [00:21:40] Speaker C: Yeah. I like this idea. [00:21:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:42] Speaker C: I changed my mind. I'm behind it. [00:21:43] Speaker B: Okay. So we went to the Cubs game. That was nice. [00:21:47] Speaker A: Take Soup in the. [00:21:48] Speaker B: I've not yet, but I will maybe tonight. I'll put some soup. [00:21:52] Speaker A: Put soup in a blanket tonight. [00:21:54] Speaker C: Put the hot dogs in the soup. [00:21:56] Speaker B: Yeah, with the hot dogs in the soup. [00:21:59] Speaker C: Now we're talking. [00:22:00] Speaker B: Cut them up small. No, I just want. I want people. People are always looking at me as I pull. Like the other night I had this really nice sandwich on that nice publican bread. It was eating that and people are, you know, watching everything that comes out of the cooler. What the fuck has this guy got? He's got all this. [00:22:18] Speaker C: Yeah, they probably want some cheese and [00:22:20] Speaker B: crackers, carrots and stuff. And then I just want the day we bring the hot dogs. I want people's minds to be blown. I want to get like a little tongs too. [00:22:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:22:34] Speaker B: Like pull them out and like make them. And then like, hey, man, you want a hot dog over there? [00:22:37] Speaker C: Their minds will be blown hot. [00:22:39] Speaker B: We even yell out hot dogs. Hot dogs. Hot dog. Boiled. Hot dogs. Fresh. Boiled right here in the seat. [00:22:48] Speaker C: What if you started selling the hot dogs? [00:22:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I think that would run a foul, right? Yeah. [00:22:55] Speaker A: Throats, definitely. [00:22:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:22:56] Speaker A: Digging that. [00:22:57] Speaker B: It's gonna get a lot of looks, that hot dog thing. Yeah, I can't wait for that. [00:23:02] Speaker A: You're getting a little clip on metal tray. [00:23:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:05] Speaker A: The thing in front of you as well. [00:23:07] Speaker B: That's the next frontier is. Is bringing flatware and trays and all this kind of stuff. Not a lot of room there. I like that, you know, but yeah, big things happening over at that stadium. This team is special. [00:23:22] Speaker C: Special, yeah, I've heard that they've been on kind of a run. Kind of. [00:23:26] Speaker B: They had a 10 game winning streak, lost a couple. Now they're back on a seven game winning streak. Have won 13 straight at Wrigley. Can't lose over there. [00:23:34] Speaker C: So when you went to the Cubs game, they played at home. Yeah. That must be way better. [00:23:38] Speaker B: Yeah. What do you think? We went, we traveled. What the fuck are you talking about? [00:23:41] Speaker C: I'm talking about the Barcelona game. Oh, wow. [00:23:43] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it was definitely an away game. [00:23:48] Speaker C: I can't believe that. Jesus Christ. I took the train all the way there. I made a whole point of it and everything. I went to the little store. I went to the store and bought souvenirs for my sisters and everything. Well, yeah, I mean, that was worth it, I guess. [00:24:02] Speaker A: But in fact, it wasn't even like it was the third tier. So. You know, most European cities have multiple football teams, Right. The team they were playing is Madrid's third best team. [00:24:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:24:15] Speaker A: Not Real Madrid. Not. [00:24:19] Speaker C: No, no. I saw the Barcelona. [00:24:21] Speaker A: Right. They were playing a team from. [00:24:23] Speaker C: Okay. Okay, yeah. Right. Okay. Yeah. [00:24:26] Speaker A: So the game was in Madrid and [00:24:29] Speaker C: then I went there the next day. [00:24:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:32] Speaker C: Yep. [00:24:33] Speaker B: He must have been three sheets to the wind. [00:24:34] Speaker C: No. Stone cold sober. Just making the wrong decision. [00:24:39] Speaker A: Okay. [00:24:40] Speaker C: You know what, though? I had a good time. It was the right decision. I ate some good food too. [00:24:43] Speaker B: You saved a lot of money. [00:24:44] Speaker C: I did, yeah. [00:24:45] Speaker B: Going over there when there was no [00:24:46] Speaker C: game, can you imagine if I bought a ticket? [00:24:47] Speaker B: Yeah. To an away game. Walking in there, it's like, where is everyone? The first guy here. Wow. [00:24:53] Speaker C: There'd be more people about to start. Where's the team? [00:24:56] Speaker B: What else do we do? While he was gone, what was it? How was the break? It was. It was difficult for me. I feel like I sunk into a depression. [00:25:04] Speaker C: Oh, really? [00:25:04] Speaker A: Yeah, really, Because I. I came out. [00:25:07] Speaker C: Oh, they swapped. [00:25:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Something missing in my life. [00:25:12] Speaker A: Then I plummeted back into one because I did an interview for, you know that comedy Gazelle? [00:25:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:18] Speaker A: I thought it'd be done and dusted. 20 minutes, half hour. [00:25:21] Speaker B: You were interviewed two hours? [00:25:23] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:25:24] Speaker B: Two hour, hour interview. [00:25:25] Speaker A: Can you imagine what my brain was like? [00:25:28] Speaker B: Who interviewed you for what? [00:25:29] Speaker A: There's a guy who runs like an online comedy thing in Chicago called the Comedy Gazelle. And every year the Lincoln Lodge wins best club because it's voted for by the comedians. [00:25:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:42] Speaker A: Always like, well, that's the place that lets me do what I want and gives me. [00:25:45] Speaker B: So you got that one and the reader. [00:25:47] Speaker A: Yeah. So we Gazelle, we've done like what, four in a row? [00:25:51] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, four in a row. [00:25:54] Speaker A: So I've never really met the guy until he. We sat. He sat there and I sat here. [00:25:58] Speaker C: You talking about Greg in here? [00:26:00] Speaker B: You had the interview? [00:26:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:01] Speaker C: Really? [00:26:01] Speaker B: Did you tell him about the podcast that we do? [00:26:03] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And yeah. So that's gonna bolt on a couple. [00:26:07] Speaker B: It's gonna be out there. [00:26:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:10] Speaker A: Actually, no, I didn't tell him in here. I told him out in the corridor just as we were leaving. So probably isn't. [00:26:16] Speaker B: What did he say? Like, hey, so you ever perform or anything like that? [00:26:19] Speaker A: I think it sort of came up, you know, general. How did you get into this? Yeah, but you know me, I like to focus in on the issues, so I talk more about. [00:26:28] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, what did you talk about? [00:26:29] Speaker A: Mechanics of running a place and being a non profit. [00:26:32] Speaker B: So is this interview going to be released in print form or. [00:26:35] Speaker A: He did record it. Yeah, he said he's trying to get into more, obviously, multimedia. [00:26:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Now you can just record something and then it transcribes it. Just like. You don't have to type it up. [00:26:46] Speaker A: Yep. [00:26:46] Speaker B: Pretty nice. [00:26:47] Speaker A: Oh, boy. [00:26:48] Speaker B: That must have sent you into a. [00:26:50] Speaker A: Yeah, that was deep depression. That was bruising. [00:26:52] Speaker C: What caused it to be two hours? Was it his question asking or was it. [00:26:56] Speaker A: I don't know if it's my. [00:26:59] Speaker B: Yeah, you get going. [00:27:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:01] Speaker B: Like an old bird. [00:27:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:03] Speaker B: You know, you got. [00:27:04] Speaker C: You got lots of stories, you know. Yeah. [00:27:06] Speaker B: What were you talking about? Like, the history of this place and all the people that came through and all that, or your take on. [00:27:12] Speaker A: I try to keep it. I try to get my opinions wedged in there more than. [00:27:18] Speaker B: Yeah. You're giving up your opinions. [00:27:22] Speaker A: Yep. I mean, he wanted to know the famous TJ Miller neck brace story, so we had to go through that. [00:27:29] Speaker C: I'll have to listen to find out. [00:27:30] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't want to preempt. [00:27:33] Speaker B: Did he ask about me? If he knew me? [00:27:35] Speaker A: I don't want to. I don't want to say anything because I don't want to. I don't want to destroy his listenership. [00:27:40] Speaker B: Okay. All right. [00:27:41] Speaker A: Destroyed us. [00:27:42] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:27:43] Speaker B: Okay. Take that as a yes. [00:27:45] Speaker C: Yeah, it's a.90 minutes of it were about Bill. [00:27:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:49] Speaker B: You know. [00:27:50] Speaker A: Yeah, I got many notes there. [00:27:52] Speaker B: No, this is a. There's a backside. [00:27:55] Speaker A: All right. [00:27:57] Speaker C: Did you draw anything this time? [00:27:59] Speaker B: No. [00:28:00] Speaker C: That would have been a tough draw. Yeah. [00:28:03] Speaker B: Yeah. I purposely did not draw because of. [00:28:06] Speaker C: Because I know. I thought this. [00:28:08] Speaker B: You know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good. Well, you were very excited to see today's comedian, Steph Tolevo. You had heard of her before, right? [00:28:17] Speaker C: Then when you sent the text message [00:28:19] Speaker B: no, you know, you said, oh, I hear she's amazing things. I can't wait to. [00:28:22] Speaker C: Are. [00:28:23] Speaker B: You're bullshitting me? Maybe that was a bullshit job. Why do you do that? What. [00:28:29] Speaker C: What do you. [00:28:30] Speaker B: Why do you keep signaling to him in weird ways, like American Sign Language over here? [00:28:34] Speaker A: He said he'd heard great things because I told him it was the biggest pile of shit I'd ever seen. [00:28:39] Speaker C: Oh, already? [00:28:39] Speaker B: You had already watched it? [00:28:41] Speaker A: I got. I got eight minutes into it on first attempt. [00:28:45] Speaker B: Oh, my. [00:28:46] Speaker C: Really? [00:28:48] Speaker B: And then you're not supposed to sully somebody's opinion. [00:28:51] Speaker A: I know, I know, I know. [00:28:53] Speaker C: That's why it was insider trading. [00:28:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:56] Speaker B: So you're fucking with me. I was like, oh, great, great. So you watch. When did you watch this? A couple of days ago. [00:29:01] Speaker A: No, I only watched it yesterday. I watched the first eight minutes three weeks Ago. It's taking me three weeks to pick the remote up and go to finish it. Here we go then. [00:29:12] Speaker B: Oh, so you finished it yesterday? But yeah. Okay. Well, I had heard about this comedian from one of our listeners, Alison booth. [00:29:23] Speaker A: Is she 13 years old? [00:29:27] Speaker B: No, no, she's a middle aged gal. Two young sons. Not young, two sons. Two teenage sons. Who likes. Likes comedy. Watches a lot of comedy. She said you guys are really gotta watch her. Told my W. And I would really love to watch her. Really love it. Love her if we watched her. [00:29:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:48] Speaker B: And so I put that one in the back of my brain and when you gave me a hard time about not liking women, I pulled it up. [00:29:55] Speaker A: Oh, we forgot to bring the stats again. [00:29:58] Speaker C: The what? [00:29:59] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, the stats about how the stats are horrendous. [00:30:02] Speaker B: Oh. Oh. [00:30:03] Speaker C: I'm expecting a. I'm expecting a surprise. [00:30:05] Speaker B: He skews everything. [00:30:06] Speaker C: I'm expecting there's a surprise that I'm expecting that I've picked a lot of white males. [00:30:12] Speaker B: Yeah, you have. [00:30:13] Speaker C: I'm expecting a twist ending to this. [00:30:15] Speaker B: You've only picked white males? I think so. First, Patrice o'. Neill. It's gonna be that I'm the one who's chosen the most diverse lineup of comedians. [00:30:28] Speaker A: You are. I shared this. I shared the Google. I thought. [00:30:32] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:30:34] Speaker C: That bracelet really fits the rest of them. I. I was thinking, I was like. Well, I. Yeah, because I was thinking, I don't think Mark's ever gonna wear it. [00:30:40] Speaker B: But I didn't even know. [00:30:41] Speaker C: I never noticed that bracelets already. So this, this really makes me happy that it blends in so well. Yeah. [00:30:48] Speaker B: And. And I, I use this bra. I'm going to use yours as well. Mine when I'm golfing. [00:30:55] Speaker C: What do you use it for? [00:30:56] Speaker B: This is a reminder. So when I. I address the ball and I take the club, I look down and I see that, that thing. It's a reminder because I got. I got mine from a Buddhist monk. [00:31:07] Speaker C: Oh. [00:31:07] Speaker B: On the streets of Seattle. [00:31:09] Speaker C: Oh. [00:31:10] Speaker B: And it's just a reminder to me to bring the club back slow. Yeah. Draw it back slow. And breathe. Take a nice easy swing. [00:31:17] Speaker C: So you got that going for you. [00:31:19] Speaker A: Buddhist monks selling. They often sell. [00:31:22] Speaker B: He strong armed me into buying that too. [00:31:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Aggressive marks. Yeah. Yeah. But. [00:31:28] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm not sure it's appropriate for a man of my significantly advanced years. [00:31:33] Speaker B: He was like a doper with that thing. Smoke a lot of dope. [00:31:37] Speaker A: Is this some sort. Is this one of these like festival things for like. [00:31:41] Speaker C: No, it was just I don't think so. I think it was just a cheap thing for the street performer. Street performer to make, and it was something that he could then entice people to tip him with. But I was already gonna tip him. And then I said, hey, how much are those bracelets? He said, here, take a couple. [00:31:57] Speaker A: When my sister. My sister used to go to Turkey for a few years before she got up the stick anyway. And she used to. [00:32:05] Speaker B: Do you know what that means? [00:32:07] Speaker C: No. [00:32:08] Speaker B: Tell them what up the stick means. [00:32:10] Speaker A: With child. [00:32:10] Speaker C: Oh. [00:32:11] Speaker A: And she used to, like, do this thing, you know, couriering tourists around on buses. But as a sideline, she made these little, you know, what's it to sell? Like the. [00:32:25] Speaker B: The little charm bracelets. [00:32:27] Speaker A: What do you call these things? Bracelets. [00:32:28] Speaker B: Jesus Christ. [00:32:29] Speaker A: But she made a word for that. [00:32:31] Speaker B: Britain. [00:32:32] Speaker A: She made them out of that banda material, you know, the. The tough plastic that. [00:32:37] Speaker C: Yeah, that's bugle. Yeah, Boondoglish. [00:32:41] Speaker A: And then she would, you know, stitch the. [00:32:44] Speaker C: And I'm like, do they have boondoggle in England? [00:32:46] Speaker A: I don't know what boondoggle is. [00:32:48] Speaker C: You remember boondoggle? [00:32:49] Speaker B: Well, I know what a boondoggle is. [00:32:51] Speaker C: The. Yeah, it's like plastic. Like, you make them when you're kids at, like, summer camp. Like the plastic woven bracelets, necklaces, stuff like that. Yeah, probably the same thing. [00:33:00] Speaker A: But she made it out of that band of material they, you know, used to. Boxes that are really heavy. [00:33:07] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about. [00:33:09] Speaker B: Do you know what the term boondoggle means? [00:33:11] Speaker C: No. [00:33:11] Speaker B: So the term boondoggle is used to describe a situation or event where somebody, for instance, takes a work trip. A fake, goes to a conference for work. Right. And you say, I get this boondoggle trip, which means you're just taking the trip to get a free vacation and around on the corporate time. [00:33:33] Speaker A: It's a boondoggle cocktail hour and strip clubs. [00:33:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:37] Speaker A: The whole time. [00:33:37] Speaker B: Boondoggle. [00:33:38] Speaker C: Oh. I've only known it as jewelry that you make when you're at summer camp. [00:33:42] Speaker B: Yeah. I never heard it for that. That term. All right, well, how. How long's your sister been up the stick? [00:33:51] Speaker A: That was 38. [00:33:53] Speaker B: Okay. So she's had the baby. [00:33:54] Speaker C: It's been a long time. [00:33:55] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a long time. Well, I guess you. We've already tipped our hands here. Or I haven't. But in terms of Steph Tolev, I'm interested to see what Christian thinks. But we know how. How you feel about. Had you heard of Steph Tola before? Yeah, Today oh, you have? [00:34:10] Speaker A: I'd heard her. She's just one of those other names where I'm like, I should really check her out sort of thing. [00:34:16] Speaker B: She's an ascendant star in the comedy world, I would think. Yeah. [00:34:21] Speaker A: Or no, she's already a star. Right. [00:34:23] Speaker C: She. I don't know if she's a. I've never heard of her either, but I guess she's been opening up for Bill Burr for a while, along with Nate Craig. [00:34:29] Speaker A: Yeah. It's like Bill Burr became the harbinger of all. [00:34:33] Speaker C: Yeah, right. [00:34:34] Speaker A: Comedy decisions. [00:34:37] Speaker B: He's got his finger in a lot of pies. [00:34:39] Speaker C: Yeah, he does. [00:34:40] Speaker A: I mean, I like the fact that the guy's looking back down the road. [00:34:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:44] Speaker A: And saying, okay, who can I pull up with me? I mean, that's great. But. [00:34:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:50] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:34:51] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, there's no financial. [00:34:54] Speaker A: I guess I'm insanely jealous that no one ever listened to a GD word I ever said about things, but, yeah, [00:35:01] Speaker B: whatever is a comedy producer. [00:35:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Who would you say you discovered? I mean, I discovered Kumail when I was running the red line. Why are you laughing? I've never gotten credit for that, but I was the first one to put him up. [00:35:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:17] Speaker B: He couldn't get a sniff. And I said, let's give this guy a chance. So it's all documented that gave him his first stage time at your red line. You know, be gad to me. [00:35:26] Speaker A: But I thought it only lasted seven weeks before you. [00:35:30] Speaker B: Well, in those seven weeks, I put up Camille. [00:35:32] Speaker C: Lots happened. A lot can happen almost two months. [00:35:35] Speaker B: And launched his career. Who would you say you discovered? [00:35:39] Speaker A: Yeah. You can't say discovered. It gets you in trouble. I can say who I discovered a lot of resource at. [00:35:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Who'd you throw A lot of resources. [00:35:48] Speaker A: A lot of resource at. [00:35:50] Speaker B: A Cameron Esposito. [00:35:52] Speaker A: A lot of resources. [00:35:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:35:54] Speaker A: Built her brand through a lot of resources. Nah, because I was more happy. [00:36:00] Speaker B: Ken Bernard. [00:36:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Ken Barnard. [00:36:03] Speaker B: Yeah. A lot of yellows. You have a debt. [00:36:05] Speaker A: Yep. He wouldn't be coaching little league hockey in Baltimore if it wasn't for me right now. Yeah. You know what? [00:36:19] Speaker B: Well, listen, you open this can of worms and, you know. Was somebody listening to you? I think quite a few people have listened to you. [00:36:24] Speaker C: Yeah, I'd say the same. Mark just likes to be hard on himself. [00:36:27] Speaker B: Do you ever go bird haas with some of these performers and bring them up to the. [00:36:31] Speaker C: The office? [00:36:32] Speaker B: Hey, listen, this is what you need to do to fix your act. [00:36:34] Speaker A: Most of them won't listen. So I kind of gave up on that years ago. [00:36:41] Speaker B: I told you the story about Bert Haas bringing me into the room and saying, yeah, he had some funny jokes, like the one with the wiffle ball and the vagina thing, the athlete's vagina. That's pretty good. But you don't have any identity. I was like, oh, okay. All right. So work on stuff and come back see me in like six months. [00:37:01] Speaker A: Oh, I mean, that's a good. [00:37:02] Speaker B: Never gave any pearls. [00:37:03] Speaker A: Good feedback. [00:37:04] Speaker B: It was good feedback, you know? [00:37:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:07] Speaker B: You never give those kind of sessions out. Nope, nope. [00:37:14] Speaker C: Okay. [00:37:14] Speaker A: Well, I'm not really an encourager of people. [00:37:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:19] Speaker A: As we know. [00:37:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:20] Speaker A: Listen, honestly, if. If I thought someone would listen, I would say it. [00:37:26] Speaker B: What if I said I know somebody that wants to take this place over, Take it from you. Run this thing like a proper business. Would you be interested in a sit down? [00:37:36] Speaker A: It's a non profit. It isn't for sale. [00:37:40] Speaker B: You can't sell a nonprofit. [00:37:41] Speaker A: I don't mind mentoring someone who wants to start a comedy club. [00:37:44] Speaker B: No, no. They want to take this operation over and make it, what would we say? Solvent. [00:37:50] Speaker A: Sorry. If they want to take over the presidency of the board, they're gonna have to pony up 50 grand every year and take no money out. [00:37:59] Speaker B: Wait, the presidency of the board has to chip in 50 grand a year? [00:38:03] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. [00:38:03] Speaker B: Oh, all right. I'll get back to you next week. [00:38:07] Speaker A: We'll go back zero out. [00:38:11] Speaker B: They just got to give 50 grand. [00:38:13] Speaker A: Well, give get. It's called give get. So you got to either find it, [00:38:19] Speaker B: they got to come up with the 50 grand, then they take over president, [00:38:21] Speaker A: presidency of the board, and then it's off to the right, and then they [00:38:24] Speaker B: can do whatever they want. They can. Can you? Could the board. Can you? Yeah, yeah. You're beholden to the board. [00:38:30] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:38:31] Speaker B: Imagine that turn of events if you get the boot. [00:38:34] Speaker C: It'd be wild. [00:38:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:36] Speaker B: I don't see it happening because I love it. [00:38:38] Speaker A: Well, I mean, I keep saying things to get myself canceled, and I've said this. [00:38:43] Speaker C: Nobody's listening. [00:38:45] Speaker B: You can't get anybody to listen, though. [00:38:47] Speaker A: If they do listen, they just think I'm being, like, witty in Rye Ball Rybald. [00:38:52] Speaker B: It's ribald. [00:38:53] Speaker A: It's ribald. [00:38:54] Speaker B: Is it ribald? [00:38:55] Speaker A: Witty and charming is what they think I'm being. [00:38:58] Speaker B: You know what? I was talking to some listeners. I know you say we don't have many listeners, but I know quite a few and they find you to be the best part of the show. Really? Yeah. Very funny and entertaining. You're the best part. I knew it when we started the show. If we could get you on this mic. [00:39:15] Speaker A: You know what? You know what I thought? [00:39:16] Speaker C: No offense to you or me, but none taken. [00:39:20] Speaker A: Every time I go home, part of my depression is. Oh, God, you just never shut up. [00:39:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:25] Speaker A: So I thought maybe what you could do is you. Could you operate a red light? [00:39:30] Speaker B: I'll give him the light. [00:39:31] Speaker A: Which is like a go. Yeah, it's like a green. Red, green. Go, red. Shut up. [00:39:37] Speaker B: Why don't we just give you the light? [00:39:38] Speaker C: Like, I would just leave it on green the whole time, though. [00:39:40] Speaker B: Like a comedian gets the light. That's enough. [00:39:43] Speaker A: No, you have to tell me. That's. That's enough. Shut up. [00:39:46] Speaker B: Him. Why are you telling him, not me? [00:39:48] Speaker A: Because he's a tech. [00:39:49] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Yeah. [00:39:52] Speaker A: You're the host. I am on the. [00:39:55] Speaker C: I would forget, though. I would forget. [00:39:58] Speaker A: And I'm. What's his name? [00:40:00] Speaker B: You're Baba Bowie. No, he's Baba Booie. You're Jack Stuttering John. [00:40:06] Speaker A: I'm the joke. [00:40:07] Speaker B: Jackie the Joke Man. [00:40:09] Speaker A: Martin. Is he still alive? [00:40:12] Speaker B: I think he got the boot from the show. [00:40:15] Speaker A: Did he? Yeah. [00:40:15] Speaker B: I'm gonna get back into that this summer. Stern. [00:40:17] Speaker A: Yeah.

[00:41:56] Speaker B: Not all of them. [00:41:58] Speaker C: Well, the ones that they can't put back out in the wild. No. Like that one turtle that got hit by a boat propeller that, if it was out in the wild, would die. [00:42:05] Speaker B: So they. [00:42:06] Speaker C: They do keep that one around. [00:42:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:08] Speaker B: I don't like zoos and aquariums playing it. [00:42:09] Speaker A: Jazz is a bit cruel. [00:42:12] Speaker C: Why? You don't like jazz?

[00:46:23] Speaker B: What do you mean, fretless bass? [00:46:24] Speaker C: No frets at all. It's just the string. You just hit the strings. [00:46:28] Speaker B: You don't have to press down. [00:46:29] Speaker C: No, you do have to press down, but you have to press down exactly where you need it or else the pitch will be off. [00:46:33] Speaker B: That's. [00:46:34] Speaker C: That's really difficult. Like a. Like a. You know, like a. Like a cello. Think about that. You know, like yo yo ma. Yeah. But not quite like a cello because [00:46:41] Speaker B: you're using your hand. [00:46:45] Speaker C: All right. [00:46:45] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:46:46] Speaker C: All right.

[00:47:25] Speaker B: I don't want anything nice. [00:47:25] Speaker C: No, you don't need anything. Just get a Fender. [00:47:27] Speaker B: Get a Fender jazz bass. Let me go over to Guitar center. [00:47:30] Speaker C: Yeah, you could do that too, if you want to. That's the easiest way. [00:47:33] Speaker B: All right. You wrote you want to get back on track here with Steph Tolev. I really want to hear what you have to say about the filth Queen. Now, you know this was chosen because, you know, there's this opinion that I like filth comedy, but I. I don't like all filth comedy.

[00:48:14] Speaker A: Surreal. [00:48:15] Speaker C: Yes. [00:48:16] Speaker B: Surreal. You like a surreal? Yeah, I like surreal comedy. This was kind of surreal at times. [00:48:20] Speaker A: I've ever laughed at filth comedy. We've discussed this Otto and George. [00:48:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:25] Speaker A: Because it's a ventriloquist dummy. [00:48:26] Speaker B: It's. Yeah, I want to. I think you got to choose that one of these times. Otto and George. So we can. [00:48:30] Speaker A: I don't think he ever did a special. [00:48:33] Speaker B: No. Well, Valby didn't either, but I unearthed that. [00:48:40] Speaker A: Okay. [00:48:41] Speaker B: All right, Steph. Tola. So you knew nothing. None of us. You knew nothing about her either. [00:48:45] Speaker C: Nothing. Nope. [00:48:45] Speaker B: I knew nothing about her. And so we're going in blind here, and first thing I. I'm excited about is. Did you like the opening with the. The doll getting thrown around, you know, of her? Remember Bill Burr's like, get out of here. He pushes her, and she goes stumbling out. And then she's in Fenway park, and the doll's going over the railing at Fenway park, and then she ends up in the Charles river. And that. It's like a dummy. [00:49:11] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. That she was using the doll for the crashing. [00:49:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. For all the Pratt falling and stuff. But I like that this was. It made me think. I don't think. Well, I guess it does happen. This was held at or performed at the paradise in Boston, which is like one of Boston. It's like Boston's Metro. [00:49:31] Speaker A: So who have you seen there? Give it some. Give us some color. [00:49:36] Speaker B: Oh, who have I seen there? [00:49:37] Speaker A: 311 there in 19. [00:49:39] Speaker B: Yeah, probably. [00:49:39] Speaker C: 311. Yeah. [00:49:46] Speaker B: Veruca Salt, I think I saw there. They're Boston Man. Letters to Cleo. Anyway, the point is, this is a real rock club. [00:49:54] Speaker C: Oh, is it? Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, that's why she had the. The amps in the background then. [00:49:58] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. This is like a real rock club, like Metro. You. Can you think of another comedian who's performed in a real rock club? I know the Vic is a venue and things like that, too, but, like, this is like. You never see a comedian at the Metro, do you? [00:50:11] Speaker C: No. That's kind of a cool setting, but we just. [00:50:13] Speaker A: We saw Canine there because. [00:50:15] Speaker B: At the Metro. [00:50:16] Speaker A: Yeah. Because Kanane was so such a Chicago kid, and he was. I always wanted to do the Metro. [00:50:22] Speaker C: Metro, yeah. [00:50:23] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Oh, that's cool. Now he always does Talia Hall. [00:50:26] Speaker A: Yeah, right. [00:50:27] Speaker C: Didn't we just. We did a special not too long ago that one of the comics did their spot. I can't remember who it was, but did the special at a rock club. [00:50:34] Speaker B: One of the comics? [00:50:35] Speaker C: Yeah, I think it was. No, I think it was an LA comic. [00:50:37] Speaker B: Or. [00:50:38] Speaker C: I mean, or at least the special was shot. [00:50:40] Speaker B: Oh, one of the ones we watched. Yeah. [00:50:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:50:43] Speaker B: Huh. Sam Kinison. No, that was at the Comedy Store or something. But just to see that, like, to see it in a rock club, like, to picture, you know, you could see the people up on the. [00:50:54] Speaker C: Yeah, right. [00:50:55] Speaker B: The balcony. Balcony and stuff. Like, whenever I thought, that's pretty cool, right? Like, because if you take the, you know, the atmosphere of a concert venue, which is great for comedy. [00:51:07] Speaker C: Right. [00:51:07] Speaker B: But then you take the comedy club aesthetic or environment where it's just very small and compact and low ceilinged, like. Or lower ceiling. Right. That's supposed to generate good comedy vibes. You're combining the two things perfectly into, like, a tight rock club. Why aren't there more comedy shows in rock clubs? Why is it such a novelty and not more of a common thing? [00:51:31] Speaker A: That's funny because I produced the Drew Michael thing at Reggie's, and Reggie's was mad keen to have more comedy. [00:51:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:39] Speaker A: And I tried talking a Tell Dave Attell into going there. No, I never spoke to a Tell his management and I said, it's perfect for him, you know, the whole insomnia and all that. And they just bottled it in the end. They said, no, we don't want to get. You know, we don't want to piss off the improv. [00:52:00] Speaker C: They do a weekly show over at Reggie's comedy show. [00:52:03] Speaker B: They do? [00:52:03] Speaker C: Yeah, Mondays. [00:52:04] Speaker A: But it's not in the big room. [00:52:05] Speaker C: No, it's upstairs. [00:52:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:09] Speaker A: Reggie's is awesome. [00:52:10] Speaker B: Because I've never been to Reggie's. [00:52:12] Speaker A: It's. Well, it's like. It's kind of weird because it's like. It's a far. It's almost fake. Gritty in it. Like, because they. Someone did a rock club and said, all right, we'll make it look like a rock club. Stickers everywhere. And it's, you know. But the. The venue itself is perfect. This floor slopes so you. Even if you're at the back, you can see just fine. Everyone's sort of at the layout. There's a balcony above the bar for the Poshmark people. So it's like everyone said, all right, let's build a rock club. Let's think about what we're doing here. And they got it right. [00:52:50] Speaker B: Is it relatively new? Reggie's? How long has it been there? Since I've been here? [00:52:55] Speaker A: At least 15, I would think. [00:52:56] Speaker B: More than that, I think. [00:52:58] Speaker C: But I just assumed it was always there. [00:53:01] Speaker B: So I guess what you're saying is then more comedians don't perform in rock clubs because they're beholden to the comedy club. That's in town when they come through, they don't want to piss off Birdhouse or Zany's or something like that. [00:53:15] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Possibly. [00:53:16] Speaker B: That's why they. [00:53:17] Speaker A: I mean, Stanhope does pretty much anywhere. [00:53:20] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:53:24] Speaker A: Stan. Hope I saw at Reggie's as well. [00:53:29] Speaker B: Yeah. I think there's something too, about, like. And you would know this because you think a lot about this. This, the staging. Right. Like, if you. You don't want to be down on the ground looking up at a comedian. Right. That's no bueno. Right. You want to be, what, like, somewhat on their level. [00:53:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:47] Speaker B: Right. What's the psychology behind that? Is there. [00:53:50] Speaker A: No, I think there's a physical comfort level more than anything. [00:53:54] Speaker C: Right. [00:53:54] Speaker A: Because, you know, you're crying in. [00:53:56] Speaker C: Well, yeah, I guess a lot of the people in the. When they were showing the people in their chairs on this special, a lot of them, you know, they, like, look straight up. Right, Exactly. [00:54:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I thought it was. It was more of like a deference thing or like you. You don't. A comedian doesn't want to elevate themselves above the audience to, like, first, you [00:54:15] Speaker A: need that bit of Ella. [00:54:16] Speaker B: You want to be. [00:54:18] Speaker A: Does need to be a little. Yeah. [00:54:21] Speaker B: Not like. [00:54:22] Speaker A: Not like rocks, but. Yeah. The commute. There has to be a very. That's where a lot of people get the environment wrong, where they don't do lighting and sound and stuff. And it's like. No, that and the feng shui of the room. If I could be pretentious, it all has to say, shut up and listen to this person. [00:54:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:42] Speaker A: So the lighting, the stage, everything is about saying. And it's like, you know, you have the funnel effect. Like, a perfect stage is almost a perfect room, is almost like fan shaped with the stage being the narrowest point at the narrowest point. So that in your mind, everything is funneling to this thing. [00:55:03] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:55:05] Speaker A: That's why I thought about when I saw that one special with the lights. [00:55:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:09] Speaker A: And I was like, God, that'd be awesome at the Lodge to be like. Because in your mind, you see the lights and you go, okay. That's the focal point. [00:55:19] Speaker B: Well, now that I'm thinking about it, with you saying it, it's like any seating chart looks like that. Right, Like. [00:55:25] Speaker C: Right like that. [00:55:27] Speaker B: Like the narrow stage and then it goes out. [00:55:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:55:31] Speaker B: I don't know. I just thought it was interesting, you know, to think about comedy in a more hard rock club atmosphere. It would be a good marriage of the two. I don't think I've ever seen anything, any comedy in that type of environment to be able to judge it. So anyway, that was cool. [00:55:51] Speaker C: Do you think they set up a whole bunch of folding chairs then where the kit would be and then do you think they took them out? Remember the final scene? Now, I don't want to like, oh, yeah, too far ahead of ourselves. But the final scene, there's a standing ovation. And I was, I was surprised. Like, it's really a standing ovation. Like, are we just doing this all the time? No. But then I realized, oh, this was set up that way. She must have said, okay, I need everybody to stand up because I'm gonna crowd surf out of here and then we're gonna switch to the dollar. [00:56:16] Speaker B: Right. [00:56:17] Speaker C: So. And I'm thinking back to that now, and it didn't seem like they were obstructed by a whole bunch of like rows of chairs in the way. Do you think they, you know, pause. We're gonna remove all the chairs now. Everybody back onto the floor for the, you know, for the crowd surfing. [00:56:32] Speaker B: Do you think those chairs were gone at the end? [00:56:33] Speaker C: I'm just starting to think that maybe they were. Because if you think about it, nobody was like standing because they all had to pass her, you know, so they had to be closer together. There weren't chairs in between them. [00:56:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. See, this is the kind of shit you wanted. Ask Beth Stelling when she was here. She didn't have any of this kind of production shit in hers. Really. She had some, but we forgot to [00:56:52] Speaker C: ask about the sucking teeth. Oh, by the way, I was watching a movie on the plane and they said sucking teeth and then. Yeah, yeah. Remember during Best Selling's special, the closed captioning, it said sucking teeth at the bottom. [00:57:06] Speaker B: We were talking about sucking your teeth. [00:57:08] Speaker A: I didn't watch it with captioning. [00:57:09] Speaker C: Yeah, but we were. But we talked about it. And that's one thing that we forgot to ask her. But I gu. That's a common caption that in. [00:57:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:16] Speaker C: If you suck your teeth, don't suck your teeth or else they're going to tell everybody about it. [00:57:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Did you watch this special with the captions on? [00:57:23] Speaker C: No. [00:57:25] Speaker B: How did you watch it? On your laptop or something? Your phone? You watched on telly? [00:57:29] Speaker C: Yeah, I watched it while trying to eat my breakfast. That was a mistake. [00:57:33] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. A lot of gross out humor. [00:57:39] Speaker C: You can't eat a salad without listening to. [00:57:41] Speaker B: Oh, you're having your breakfast. [00:57:42] Speaker C: My breakfast salad. [00:57:43] Speaker B: Did you get off your diet over there? [00:57:45] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:57:46] Speaker B: Eating a lot of. [00:57:46] Speaker C: Would you eat a lot of paella sandwiches? I did have paella just once, though. I'm not the biggest paella fan. Lots of sandwiches, though. [00:57:53] Speaker B: Yeah. What's their sandwich food? [00:57:56] Speaker C: In Madrid, the popular one was calamari sandwich, but in Barcelona, it was more like ham of some sort. You know, it's like they call it there. [00:58:04] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:58:05] Speaker C: Yeah. On some, like, sort of like fluffy bread that is out of this world. Every. Every single thing. There's a little market by the. So we go over there and get some fresh seafood, too. [00:58:14] Speaker B: I said my favorite thing when I ate meat was like, a ham sandwich. Nice Crackus Polish ham sliced thin on, like a Portuguese roll. Like with the dust on it. That white flour. [00:58:24] Speaker C: Yeah, right. I know you're talking about mayonnaise. [00:58:28] Speaker B: Okay. So she comes out immediately. The physical comedy. The legs are moving, the no torso. I'm like, I don't think I've ever seen anyone that looks like this. Any human being that looks quite like this woman. And I'm taken aback. Were you. Were you. [00:58:50] Speaker C: Yes. [00:58:50] Speaker B: Were you taken aback by this woman's physical appearance and her energy? [00:58:57] Speaker A: Her appearance is definitely distracting. The. The first thing I thought when I saw. I hope you did this as well. When she points to a jacket with filth Queen, I was like, that's a dice clay. [00:59:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, I didn't think about that. But, yeah, you're right. [00:59:12] Speaker A: Wait, that's the dice. You know, that's. [00:59:15] Speaker B: Why did he have something on the back of his jacket, though? I don't think he did. [00:59:17] Speaker A: I think he had a pair of dice then he. In a glitter. You know, what do you call that thing? Because that's on the album cover, right. [00:59:26] Speaker B: When he's like. Yeah. [00:59:27] Speaker A: And didn't he. Did he used to do it when he came out? [00:59:31] Speaker B: Yeah, he would turn around and I think. And. [00:59:33] Speaker A: Yeah, because he used to prance about and. Yeah. I was like, wow, this is. [00:59:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:39] Speaker A: I would like to know on the back end if she was a Dice fan, because filth, posturing. Wait, all of that. She. That's dice. [00:59:49] Speaker B: Yeah, she does have that. The leather. [00:59:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:51] Speaker B: The boots. She's. Yeah. Bikery ish. Is she from Boston? [00:59:58] Speaker A: She's from Canadian. She's a Canuck. [01:00:00] Speaker B: She's Canadian. Oh, yeah, that's right. I remember I saying that. [01:00:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:00:04] Speaker B: Canadian. So I don't know. Yeah. Maybe because Burr's from Boston. They did it. Did it in Boston. Well, yeah. Right away I came out and said, this is a. And I'm not criticizing just her. Not her appearance, but like, how in your face, gross she was. [01:00:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:00:22] Speaker B: Right. And I'm gonna say that now because I want to. My opinion didn't stay the same throughout this. Right. Just gross. Right. In the way she was gesticulating, you know? You know, I mean by that, like, gyrating and, like, her body. [01:00:38] Speaker A: And like, she spent half of the special rubbing her crotch. I seriously can't think of any time her hand was away from her. Her private parts for more than a minute. [01:00:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Not ladylike. She's not very ladylike. Right. Woman. And it disgusted me. I'll be quite honest. It very much disgusted me. [01:01:05] Speaker A: Can I play the provocateur? So if. If she'd been a bloke, fine. But it's a woman. [01:01:11] Speaker B: No, no, I. I would have been disgusted by a bloke that's out there gyrating the whole time. Is there a bloke equivalent of this that we could. [01:01:22] Speaker C: Andrew Dice Clay, I guess. [01:01:25] Speaker B: Is that. Is that the closest thing that was, [01:01:28] Speaker C: like, if I saw a guy wearing the same thing? [01:01:32] Speaker B: Yeah. Elvis Presley, I guess. [01:01:34] Speaker C: I don't know. Elvis did a little class here, though. [01:01:37] Speaker B: Yeah, he was a little classy. This woman was very low class in terms of her everything. Right. All right. Before we go any further, let's see if you can. I have to look this up, but spell hemorrhoid. [01:01:54] Speaker C: Oh, okay. H E M O R R. H [01:01:58] Speaker B: O I D. Say it again. [01:02:00] Speaker C: H E M. H O R R I O D. I mean oid. [01:02:06] Speaker B: Okay. Mark, don't look it up. [01:02:10] Speaker A: I'm not. I'm answering a text about his hemorrhoids. H A, E. H A E. [01:02:18] Speaker B: Hameroid. [01:02:20] Speaker A: Like, hey, Festus, I'm already out of it. [01:02:22] Speaker C: Wait, did I say two m's? I meant to say two M's. [01:02:26] Speaker B: I don't know. But I've long contended before the special. Long. I don't know if it ever came up in here that hemorrhoid is the most difficult word to spell. [01:02:34] Speaker C: Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense. [01:02:35] Speaker B: Stump. Any spelling bee contestant? [01:02:39] Speaker C: How close did I get? [01:02:40] Speaker B: Well, you. The. It's H E M, and then you said H. It's H E M O R R H. That's what the H is. [01:02:51] Speaker C: Okay. [01:02:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:52] Speaker C: I knew there was another one. [01:02:53] Speaker B: You could never get it right. My life depended on it. And it got into my head. I don't think I could get it right. [01:02:58] Speaker C: I had to type it this morning, and I had to use the autocorrect [01:03:02] Speaker B: you had to type it. [01:03:03] Speaker C: Yeah. I was telling somebody what I was watching. It's all been. Yeah, hemorrhoids. And I don't remember what they're on [01:03:10] Speaker B: at that point, she comes out with the hairy nipples. [01:03:13] Speaker C: Oh, that's what I said. It's been a hell about hemorrhoids and hairy nipples so far. [01:03:16] Speaker B: Hemorrhoids, hairy nipples, pooping in her pants, $2,000 worth of tuna. Right. That. The whole bit about her with that guy in that dirty basement getting choked. Right. Like she's really painting in broad strokes that she is a filthy, disgusting pig. [01:03:40] Speaker C: Right. [01:03:41] Speaker B: I don't. I don't think I'm overstating that. [01:03:44] Speaker C: I think that she's doing that on purpose. [01:03:46] Speaker B: She's. She's purposely being a filthy, disgusting pig. [01:03:50] Speaker A: Yep. [01:03:53] Speaker B: Right. And I don't know. I don't. I. I thought I would like it, but I didn't. I didn't like that kind of humor. Right. Oh, like, I. I don't want to hear that. [01:04:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:04:08] Speaker B: I don't want to hear about it. [01:04:09] Speaker C: Right. It doesn't help an avocado go down very well. [01:04:15] Speaker B: I wouldn't think it's not enjoyable. Did you watch this with your Mrs. [01:04:19] Speaker A: The missus was off to the side working on a computer, and I was. I was. I was. What's it like? Not muting, but turning. It [01:04:31] Speaker C: was on three. [01:04:32] Speaker A: She's gonna go ballistic. [01:04:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:04:34] Speaker A: Like, get this off. [01:04:35] Speaker B: Yeah. She don't like that kind of thing. Nope. No. And did she hear any of it? [01:04:39] Speaker A: She did. She was. [01:04:41] Speaker B: She was like, what are you watching? Yeah, Yeah, I got one of those. [01:04:44] Speaker C: He said, Bill made me do it. [01:04:46] Speaker A: Yeah, Bill's choice. That's what. [01:04:49] Speaker B: Yeah, right. Like, I did Valby, and now this [01:04:51] Speaker C: is Bill's favorite comic. [01:04:56] Speaker B: Okay? So the. There's the material, right. Which is very base and gross and, you know, doing what, you know, a dirty male comedian would do, but even more so. But what was the worst for me was the voice. [01:05:13] Speaker C: Oh, my God, that voice. [01:05:16] Speaker B: You want me to take it into [01:05:17] Speaker C: that, like that goblin quasi over again, [01:05:21] Speaker B: hunched over and then looking up voice? [01:05:24] Speaker C: Right. [01:05:24] Speaker B: But she did constantly. [01:05:26] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:05:27] Speaker B: Like, to make. As if the whole presentation wasn't disgusting enough, the material, the outfit, the gyrating, then the. The goblin voice. [01:05:38] Speaker C: Yeah, right. It was a lot. [01:05:40] Speaker B: And so, like, as I'm going through, I'm like, she looks like this guy I know. Right. I wrote that down. Shout out to Jason Press reminds me of Jason Press. And then I'm like. Like a Quasimodo and then bang. Like the light bulb goes off. That's it. That's who she looks like. She was like. And I came to this on my own. Danny DeVito and the Penguin in the. In the Batman as the Penguin. [01:06:04] Speaker C: And that's before she said. [01:06:05] Speaker B: That's before she said. And I wrote it all. Big danger being the ping. Like, I had this huge aha moment. I was like, I've been trying to think of it the whole time. Like, that's it. A. And I couldn't wait to tell you guys. I was like, who does she look like? Who do you think she looks like? And then literally, like five or 10 minutes later, she's like, I know what you're thinking. Yeah, look like Danny DeVito in the ping. And I was like, nailed it. She nailed it. And she called it out. And at that point, okay, all right. I was disgusted. [01:06:34] Speaker C: You're starting to get attracted to her. [01:06:35] Speaker B: I don't know about attracted. Well, I want to get to that. [01:06:38] Speaker C: All right? [01:06:39] Speaker B: But something now, something has shifted. We've talked about the shift in these comedy specials. I've not laughed. I just want this to be over. I'm regretting picking this. When she calls herself out as Danny DeVito as the Penguin. You could never say anything more self deprecating than that. I mean, that's the most hideous looking person character ever on film. Right. And she likens herself to that. Like, okay, all right. She's laying everything bare here. [01:07:10] Speaker A: Did you reset the scoreboard? [01:07:12] Speaker B: I reset the score. [01:07:13] Speaker A: Two minutes back on the clock. [01:07:14] Speaker B: I put two minutes back on the clock. Right. And I was like, I just. My ear just kind of tuned differently to the comedy. And yes, it was all similar, Right. Like, the material was. This was similar, but I. Because she was so self effacing or self deprecating, whatever it was, and calling herself out as that. I was like, let me give this girl another. Another look. And then I started to laugh right then. Like, the humor, as bad as it was, and like, I still didn't like that goblin voice she kept doing. She starts to win me over and then I'm like, some of this is pretty good. This is some pretty good filthy humor. Right? Like the bit about sucking the guy off in the sauna. Right. Sending a puss pic and then she starts to do the crowd work. [01:08:06] Speaker A: Right? [01:08:06] Speaker C: Yeah, that crowd really got into it. [01:08:07] Speaker B: They were into it. [01:08:09] Speaker A: I can't believe people. Yeah, I take dick. [01:08:12] Speaker B: Right, right, right. [01:08:13] Speaker A: I hope you know the camera is zooming in on you. [01:08:16] Speaker C: Right. [01:08:16] Speaker A: And the good people at Work are singing there. [01:08:19] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. But you know, overall, like, well, by the end of it, like I started to think I was like, she's not that unattractive, you know, like, and clearly she is. I mean, the whole thing is gross to me. Just her personality is gross and everything. But as she becomes more self effacing, that is what's attractive. Right? Like, forget her physical appearance, the way she dress or what she's talking about someone who will lay themselves bare and just be like, this is who I am. I'm disgusting. These are all my, you know, my idiosyncrasies and, you know, gross things about me. That is an attractive quality for to me when somebody does that, now that looks different in different people. But like when somebody can be that honest and say what everybody would never admit type of thing, I find that attractive. My wife's going to take umbrage with this and say, oh, you find that woman attractive? That's not what I'm saying. I find that aspect of her personality [01:09:27] Speaker C: bases right now is attractive. [01:09:29] Speaker B: And in my own relationship with my wife, as we get older and we're together longer, I honestly find her more attractive as a person. This is me coming true here because she reveals more of her true self and as she does, she becomes a more attractive person to me. That also leads to more tender lovemaking and a greater intimacy that as we get older, is reaching unbelievable heights. And I hope this happens for you as well or is happening for you as well. But the more truthful you can get, the more you can reveal yourself, the more intimate and closer you can get and the climaxes you will have. [01:10:18] Speaker A: Are you listening to Sex Lives of the middle age with Dr. Bill O'? Donnell? [01:10:24] Speaker C: Honestly, it's just unfortunate the listener doesn't get the eye contact that we receive. [01:10:28] Speaker B: I look you dead in the eyes. [01:10:30] Speaker A: We're getting cameras next week. The cameras are on. The cameras are on next week. [01:10:36] Speaker C: If we, if we knew we were in for this sort of treat, we would have had him on already. [01:10:40] Speaker B: Yeah, so I appreciated that about her as a performer. [01:10:45] Speaker C: Right. [01:10:45] Speaker B: Like it comes off too much. And I think I, I think if she had someone like you in her corner or Bert Haas to maybe it's Bill Burr to clean some of this up and repackage this material a little better or a little differently so that like, you don't get cudgeled over the head from, you know, the beginning with this stuff. [01:11:05] Speaker A: Wait, wait, wait, wait. This is a turnaround. [01:11:07] Speaker B: What? [01:11:09] Speaker A: This isn't the Nihilist Billow Donnell Approach to comedy. Do what you're going to do and never vary from it. [01:11:18] Speaker B: I guess so, but I was thinking about that nihilist stuff, right? Like, would a nihilist have, the last time we were together, spared his friend from COVID the way I did? No, I would if I was. Now I was like, you get Covid. I don't give a fuck. I spared him. And he has positive. [01:11:34] Speaker C: My friend. Oh, you. Oh, I'm my friend. [01:11:38] Speaker B: If I'm. If I was a nihilist, would I have stayed home and done the show from home that day? [01:11:43] Speaker C: Why are you yelling at me? I never said. [01:11:44] Speaker B: You're not yelling at you just yelling. I'm yelling so. [01:11:49] Speaker A: Wendy. [01:11:49] Speaker B: No nihilist. I care about people. [01:11:53] Speaker C: Whatever happened? I don't know. I don't know. This is gonna have to be edited out. Whatever happened to you? Do you have cancer? [01:12:05] Speaker B: No. No. I don't know. [01:12:09] Speaker A: And you didn't have Covid? [01:12:11] Speaker B: I don't think I had Covid, but I had been exposed and I didn't feel well. It turns out I just. I needed to rest. I think more than anything that that day I was just feeling very run down. But I was exposed to Covid the night before. [01:12:24] Speaker C: Well, I'm glad about. I'm glad that you don't have cancer. I don't know that I've been very concerned about that. And I keep forgetting. I appreciate it wasn't the wrong time to bring it up. [01:12:31] Speaker B: No, it's not. [01:12:31] Speaker C: It's. [01:12:32] Speaker B: But the truth of the matter is, I don't know because I have to go through another battery of tests next month, and I will know more then. We'll figure it out. But for now, I'm okay, I think. Good. [01:12:45] Speaker C: I'll take that. [01:12:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:12:47] Speaker C: So [01:12:50] Speaker B: what do you else. What else do you want to say about this woman? Were you as equally turned off throughout the special as you were clearly at the beginning, as you expressed earlier? Or did she win you over like Rocky won over the Crowd and Rocky 4? [01:13:06] Speaker A: I mean, I'd melted it a little bit towards you. [01:13:09] Speaker B: Melted a little bit. [01:13:10] Speaker A: Not to any significant degree. You know what I did find funny is, you know, you get adverts when you're watching it on Netflix. And all the adverse I saw throughout her thing were all for depression drugs. I was like, canel is like, is this TV reading my thoughts? [01:13:29] Speaker B: I don't get the ad. Maybe I don't have the ads on this one for Netflix. I don't see any ads. [01:13:34] Speaker A: Well, if you filled in your profile, you're gonna get related things. [01:13:37] Speaker B: So do you think that was about her act or about your. [01:13:41] Speaker A: I think the TV was like, man, he looks. He looks bombed over there. Yeah. Let me give me some depression adverts. I just. I don't know. There's nothing in this thing for me. [01:13:56] Speaker B: Nothing. [01:13:56] Speaker A: There's too many turn offs. There's nothing in the material that offers me anything of the witty, erudite. Erudite, satirical surreal. [01:14:11] Speaker B: I think there's some. There's some surrealism in here. I mean, just in terms of how graphic and candid she is, that, to me, is surreal in its own way. But I mean, erudite. [01:14:25] Speaker A: No, there was tiny little sparkles of light every now and again where I thought, oh, there's something coming that I might like. And then it. Yeah. Shut it down with some more. [01:14:38] Speaker B: Yeah. I. I think if she had presented it differently. Right. Like she didn't. If she just spoke instead of screaming Goblin. [01:14:46] Speaker C: I agree. Yeah. [01:14:47] Speaker B: Like, it would have come. Been better received, I think, because after [01:14:50] Speaker C: a while you just stop listening, you know, and it's just like when you're being bombarded. [01:14:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:14:53] Speaker C: Start to tune it out. [01:14:55] Speaker B: Yes. [01:14:55] Speaker A: That'd be a good social experiment with stand up comedy to have two people deliver the exact same material to two different audiences, but with, you know, same material, different Persona, or even the same [01:15:12] Speaker C: person and actually the same person. [01:15:14] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then see, if there's a market, like rea. The problem is too many variables between audience. [01:15:21] Speaker B: Yes. [01:15:22] Speaker A: Like, to really go to get a clinical, so you got to do it [01:15:25] Speaker C: like scientific five times each, you know. [01:15:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:28] Speaker C: Do five of the outlandish one, five of the comm, you know, and then take an average. [01:15:33] Speaker A: Yeah, that'd be interesting. [01:15:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:15:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Because there's no accounting for taste. I mean, someone might like what we hate. Right, right, right. Like, they think that's funny and like that. [01:15:45] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, obviously there are. There's people there, they bought tickets, say the wristbands. [01:15:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:15:51] Speaker A: But in terms of how material is received and perceived, like if she had. If, if she'd have kind of walked out with like just mousy brown hair and like, you know, like a Rita Rudner. [01:16:05] Speaker C: Right. [01:16:06] Speaker A: Delivery, would that have opened the door to liking this? [01:16:11] Speaker C: Yeah. I wonder. Because then it might be. Yeah, you're looking, you're expecting one thing and then you're getting another. It might be more of a surprise. [01:16:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:16:20] Speaker A: Because I've seen there's two, like, there's two sorts of female filth comics. There's the look at Me, I'm back. I'm brassy and bold. I'm giving you what you expect from me. And then there's the one that comes out looking like a librarian. [01:16:36] Speaker C: Right. [01:16:37] Speaker A: And filths it up. [01:16:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I like that guy. [01:16:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:16:40] Speaker A: And I'm wondering if, I'm wondering if certainly the males in the audience are going, okay, one is acceptable and one I'm not buying. Is that a thing? I, I think a lot of female comedians would say, yes, that is what is happening. [01:16:58] Speaker B: But didn't you get, don't you, didn't you get a sense if you stay with it the whole time that like, she's not this character? Right. [01:17:06] Speaker A: Like, well, if the situation she's describing, she has been in, she is this character. [01:17:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:17:12] Speaker C: If those are real, you know, she could have just made them up and [01:17:15] Speaker B: be all, you know, as well as anybody. They could be all manufactured stories. But I, I think it's an unnecessary, unnecessary character. Right. Like, it doesn't need to be that. Like, I'm sure she's self conscious in some ways about her looks and her appearance, but she doesn't need to, to, you know, present herself like that. Like the most off putting person in the world. Right, Right. [01:17:46] Speaker A: Did you see that the get get up was actually a fake dinner jacket, essentially. [01:17:51] Speaker B: Oh, it was a, was a onesie, wasn't it? [01:17:54] Speaker A: No, it was like shorts and a thing and if you look closely, you're like, oh, I get what they're doing. It's like a fake tuxedo but with like cut off shorts and sleeveless and stuff. [01:18:04] Speaker C: She said it was a romper. Yeah. [01:18:05] Speaker A: It's got the trim on though, to make it look like a dinner jacket and stuff. [01:18:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:18:10] Speaker A: You can't really see it so. Well, I'll tell you one thing else I haven't mentioned yet. The sound was awful. Did you get that? [01:18:18] Speaker C: No. [01:18:20] Speaker A: It almost sounded like the sound was from an ambient microphone rather than the one in front of a goblin. [01:18:29] Speaker C: Yeah, [01:18:31] Speaker A: it might because I kept turning it down so my missus couldn't hear it and then turning it back up [01:18:37] Speaker C: again, it was kind of interesting. She just walked out with the mic in her hand. You know, there wasn't the classic, the microphone's on the stand and the comedian approaches it and then takes the microphone off the stand, moves the stand aside, you know. [01:18:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:18:48] Speaker C: How did she remember at the end of that whole, like opening bit, you know, where she's all over Boston, she's backstage and she just takes the wireless mic off the top of the stand and Walks out with it in her hand. [01:18:58] Speaker B: Yeah, that was cool. Yeah, I thought that was different. [01:19:01] Speaker A: I don't know. [01:19:04] Speaker B: Okay, well, anything else, Christian? [01:19:08] Speaker C: I've got nothing else. [01:19:09] Speaker B: You got nothing else on this? Okay, well, what do we want to say here? Smelly dicks. Who was the comedian that we watched who talked about, like, a smelly. Oh, no, that was not it. That was Valby. Yeah. I was thinking of a real life story where I was at a bar and we were watching the last Cubs playoff game, and we were standing at Murphy's in the back, and there was this table of younger. Younger than us people. And this guy was like this good looking guy, and he was kind of telling stories at the table. I was just standing there with my wife and I was watching the game, but she was watching the table and, like, listening to them. And the guy was, like, going around saying how he was eating this woman out into a batter box. Smelled. Right. And then he would go to the, you know, move chairs and go to somebody else at the table and like, yeah, I was eating this girl's box. He, like, kept telling the story. It made me think of her. And I was like, I thought that was a comedian, but made me think of her saying how, you know, that guy's penis smelled, you know? [01:20:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:20:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Anyway, turnaround's fair play, I guess, right? Your vagina can smell and your penis can smell. [01:20:29] Speaker C: Yeah, anything can smell, especially a nose. [01:20:32] Speaker B: Do you ever notice your penis smells? [01:20:35] Speaker A: I noticed that I smell sometimes. [01:20:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Not the penis specifically. [01:20:40] Speaker A: I forgot, like, I forgot to put the coconut thing on. [01:20:43] Speaker C: You still have some of that? I went through mine. [01:20:46] Speaker A: I bought, like. [01:20:47] Speaker C: Oh, you've got. You bought a case? [01:20:49] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [01:20:49] Speaker B: Are you gonna be in it for [01:20:50] Speaker A: a drop on something like that at the dollar store? [01:20:52] Speaker B: You gotta pass that up. [01:20:54] Speaker A: Yeah, you gotta get it all. [01:20:55] Speaker B: Yeah, you love it. Yep. You love a coconut smell. All right, well, smelly dicks. I give. Well, you go first. [01:21:05] Speaker A: Wait, out of. How many smelly dicks are bad, though, right? [01:21:08] Speaker B: Yeah, but. [01:21:09] Speaker C: But in this case, they're stars. Yeah, right. [01:21:11] Speaker B: How many stars? How many smelly dicks or how many puss pics you want to do? Puss pics that I liked. I thought that was funny. You know, like, you always talk about dick pics, but ever talking about how women, you know, obsess over a good [01:21:26] Speaker A: post pick, say, this hand on heart, I have never felt the need to give or receive a picture of genitals. [01:21:33] Speaker B: No, I haven't either. [01:21:34] Speaker A: Bizarre to me, but that's a thing. [01:21:37] Speaker B: Don't ask. He's all quiet over there. [01:21:39] Speaker C: No, I. You don't know me. [01:21:41] Speaker A: Quiet. Quiet is guilt. No, it's in the realm of podcast. [01:21:45] Speaker C: Oh, please. You don't know me. You don't know me. [01:21:50] Speaker B: Got real quiet over here. [01:21:52] Speaker A: See, if we'd have had the bo. [01:21:53] Speaker C: I know. Perfect. [01:21:57] Speaker A: Man, we missed. This is the worst episode to miss the sound effects on. [01:22:01] Speaker B: Yeah, there been some good ones. [01:22:03] Speaker A: Filth, A Filth a filth special. [01:22:06] Speaker C: Now that we know what we're missing. [01:22:07] Speaker A: Demanded. Demanded Sound effects. [01:22:12] Speaker B: Did you ever see that? That psa? You guys are probably too young, but there was a PSA during Saturday morning cartoons. It was like, not a psa, but it was like from the US Dairy Council. It was to hawk cheese, right? Like there was like, eat more cheese. And it was this guy who had long legs and boots. He was like a cowboy and he was a piece of cheese. And you say, a hanker for a hunkin. A foul down chunk of a hanker for a hunk of cheese? [01:22:39] Speaker C: Nope. [01:22:39] Speaker B: You don't remember that? [01:22:40] Speaker C: No idea. [01:22:41] Speaker B: You wouldn't remember, but you might. [01:22:43] Speaker A: British public service announcements were generally things warning you against getting electrocuted at substations or drowning in ponds. But American public service announced, [01:22:56] Speaker C: get your hands on some cheese, guys. [01:22:58] Speaker B: Eat more cheese. [01:22:59] Speaker C: Hey, when's the last time you had a nice Swiss? [01:23:02] Speaker A: Jesus Christ. [01:23:03] Speaker C: Jesus Christ. [01:23:04] Speaker A: Yeah, indeed. [01:23:06] Speaker B: Here, I'm gonna find. I'm gonna show you. All right? [01:23:09] Speaker A: Unless you and I can do our rankings. Are you gonna play it? [01:23:13] Speaker B: No. Well, I could, but that's. That's. That was the cheese guy that looks like her right [01:23:20] Speaker C: anchor for a hunger cheese. [01:23:25] Speaker A: Oh, boy. [01:23:26] Speaker C: All right, how many. How many puss picks are. How many is the best? 5, 4, 5 plus 5. 5 is the best. [01:23:47] Speaker B: When my 10 gallon hats are feeling 5 gallons. [01:23:57] Speaker A: Wagon Wheel was a chocolate bar in England. So he's kind of plugging both at a dietary scale. [01:24:03] Speaker B: Well, they were trying to get rid of all that cheese because more people were drinking skim milk and so they skimmed all the fat. And so they had. The US Dairy had all this extra cheese. That's why you see so much cheese in the cheese aisle now is because of all the excess fat from the cheese. They just can't. They don't have anywhere to go with it. Do you ever think about how much cheese is offered? All the different varieties and shapes? [01:24:25] Speaker C: There's so much cheese. [01:24:26] Speaker B: So much cheese, they put cheese on everything. It's the U.S. dairy Council. [01:24:30] Speaker C: You can go to a restaurant and get a plate of just cheeses? Yeah, just only cheeses. [01:24:34] Speaker B: Cheese. Anyway, listeners, go watch hanker for a hunk of cheese, and you'll see stuff like Steph Tollev. All right. Five puss pics. How many puss pics, Mark, would you give Steph tolev's filth queen? [01:24:50] Speaker C: 20? [01:24:51] Speaker B: 25? [01:24:51] Speaker A: 0. [01:24:52] Speaker B: You're giving her 0? A 0. 0? [01:24:58] Speaker C: Give me any stars with my confidence. [01:25:02] Speaker B: 0. Come on, bro. 0. You don't see anything redeeming here? Any talent? She's laying it bare. [01:25:10] Speaker A: There's nothing in this material of interest. [01:25:14] Speaker B: Wow, wow, wow. [01:25:20] Speaker C: Is that the first zero that you've given? Did you. [01:25:23] Speaker A: I think I normally give one or a half. [01:25:25] Speaker B: You won't even give this gal a half? [01:25:27] Speaker A: No. [01:25:29] Speaker B: Would you book her? If she would? You know, her agent said, hey, like, Steph Toluff's coming through. She'd love to do the Lincoln Lodge. Would you book her? She gets a big crowd. [01:25:35] Speaker A: I don't book this place. [01:25:37] Speaker B: Would you if you did? If you did? [01:25:40] Speaker A: I gave up booking long ago. I can't. I can't even attune my brain to the act of booking anymore. [01:25:46] Speaker B: All right. [01:25:46] Speaker A: Seriously? [01:25:47] Speaker B: Okay. Jesus. All right. He gives it zero out of five plus picks. [01:25:53] Speaker C: Yeah. I'm gonna switch to stinky dicks. I give it one stinky dick just for showing up, you know? [01:25:58] Speaker B: Just for showing up. [01:25:59] Speaker C: I got just. She did it, you know, she. She was there. [01:26:05] Speaker A: It's participation, right? [01:26:06] Speaker C: Exactly. [01:26:07] Speaker B: You're giving her participation award. Yeah. [01:26:08] Speaker C: Attendance. [01:26:10] Speaker B: Okay, that leaves me, then. I'd like to work with her. I feel like I could really take this act somewhere. I feel like there's something great at the heart of it. It just needs to be repackaged. [01:26:28] Speaker C: See, that I'm interested in. [01:26:30] Speaker B: I think there's really something here. I'd like to work. Steph, if you're out there listening, give a call if you're still listening. I. I think we could really do something good here. [01:26:45] Speaker A: I would love. [01:26:46] Speaker B: Let me be your manager. [01:26:47] Speaker A: To send an email one day saying, I heard your podcast. I'm suing you. I'm running you out of this game. That would be amazing. [01:26:55] Speaker B: Me specifically? [01:26:56] Speaker A: No, just in general. Yeah. [01:27:00] Speaker B: Could that happen? I don't know. God may get me worried. I'll give her five. [01:27:07] Speaker C: Five puss pics. What? [01:27:09] Speaker B: Because I don't want to get sued. [01:27:10] Speaker C: Get out of here. [01:27:12] Speaker B: I'm giving every comedian five puss pics. We have the right to review public art, right? I don't know. [01:27:22] Speaker C: Does that change your vote? [01:27:23] Speaker B: Yeah. That's why I gave five. [01:27:24] Speaker C: Yeah, but would it change your vote? I mean, it's not slander. [01:27:27] Speaker B: It's not slander. Right. [01:27:28] Speaker C: It's not libel. [01:27:30] Speaker B: What I said about that one guy being a. Oh, the guy at the [01:27:34] Speaker C: table eating the stinky box? [01:27:36] Speaker B: No, I don't know who that was. But why did he tell the comedian? [01:27:40] Speaker C: Was he getting better at telling the story the whole time? [01:27:42] Speaker B: I don't know, but he told it twice to two different people at the table. [01:27:47] Speaker C: I was only twice. [01:27:49] Speaker B: The woman's box stank. [01:27:51] Speaker A: All right, I'll give you. I'll give this positive stance. Still not as bad as Brett Goldstein. I'm not even putting it on the table. [01:27:59] Speaker B: Way better than Brett Goldstein. I know this gal's a comedian. You might not like it, Right? But she's. She's a comedian. She's a performer. [01:28:08] Speaker C: Had material about laundry. [01:28:10] Speaker B: Yeah, he's terrible. The worst piece of the Bringing Back Ted Lasso. [01:28:14] Speaker C: I hope he emails us and sues us. I'd gladly pay that bill just to tell him again. [01:28:19] Speaker A: I think he's too nice, too. [01:28:20] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [01:28:22] Speaker B: Good thing Beth didn't know all the shit we said about him. They're friends, right? [01:28:28] Speaker A: Yeah, my Welch directed it. [01:28:33] Speaker B: All right, let's get out here. I'm gonna give it two and a half. All right, post pics. All right. All right. [01:28:42] Speaker C: Yep. All right. Oh, no. We got. Yeah, we got to do next. Wait, you said. Yeah, it's on you, Mark, right? [01:28:48] Speaker A: Yep. Let's stay with the female. [01:28:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:28:53] Speaker B: I love it. [01:28:54] Speaker A: And what I'm gonna say is I was actually talking to a good friend of mine, Mr. C.J. toledano, who is married to our next comedian. [01:29:02] Speaker B: Whoa. [01:29:02] Speaker A: Megan Gaily, who is someone we know. And he assured me that Megan would be more than happy to discuss. [01:29:09] Speaker C: Oh, really? Okay.
