Episode Transcript
[00:00:08] Speaker A: Do you prefer a Home Depot over Menards? I like Menards.
[00:00:11] Speaker B: I prefer Menards because we get tax free. There they are. A little tax free thing.
[00:00:17] Speaker A: Oh, then why are you bothering with Home depot?
[00:00:20] Speaker C: They didn't have what we needed.
[00:00:22] Speaker B: Well, menards is a bit of a ball, like when it comes to renting the van.
[00:00:27] Speaker C: Oh, I didn't even know the headbands.
We needed a truck and I thought only Home Depot had those.
[00:00:32] Speaker B: Which is why the thing that bugs me with menards is that whole lumberyard mentality they have.
So you go in the big store, but then if you want to find wood, drywall, blah, blah, blah, blah, you gotta traipse out into the.
[00:00:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:00:47] Speaker B: And every time I go to that Menards lumber yard, I'm there for ever trying to find.
Yeah. Once you've walked out there, you're like, in a wilderness, you can't find anyone, you know, and you're like, well, mate, where's two by four? Then you got to walk all the way back into the store, pay for
[00:01:05] Speaker A: it, then get your car and go pick it up.
[00:01:08] Speaker B: Show your receipt, blah, blah, blah, blah. Menards is losing out big time.
[00:01:12] Speaker A: You don't have to do that at Home depot.
No, it's all in store. Walk right out with it.
[00:01:16] Speaker B: Pretty much, yeah. Yeah. All the lumber's in store and stuff. Right.
[00:01:19] Speaker C: You ever go to the eager beaver over on Lawrence and Clark?
[00:01:23] Speaker B: Not for years. I bought a. You know, this is. This is how un American I was when I first got here. I needed a drill, right? So I go to. I go to the beef and it's like. Well, it's $40 for an electrical one, but you can get a little hand drill for. For whatever, you know, seven bucks. I'm. So that's a no brainer then. So I got the little hand.
19th century hand drill.
[00:01:51] Speaker A: Oh, you mean none electric?
[00:01:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:01:54] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah,
[00:01:57] Speaker C: yeah.
[00:01:57] Speaker A: All.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: And I spent probably 27 hours doing the project that would have taken me two minutes with the electrical drill.
[00:02:06] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like a hand coffee grinder.
It takes forever.
[00:02:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:11] Speaker A: What's going on with you over there? You're either stoned, which you might be. You looks high. As do I. Or you've got allergies or you're sneezing.
[00:02:20] Speaker C: You're sick as hell. Okay. Funny you say that. My nose has been running all morning and I was sneezing a whole bunch.
[00:02:25] Speaker A: Does he look stone?
[00:02:26] Speaker B: Well, go catch.
Looks like you've got some sort of satanic emblem on you hoodie.
[00:02:32] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm Trying out a new cult? No, it's hay fever.
[00:02:36] Speaker A: What do you got hay fever?
[00:02:37] Speaker C: Florida Panthers? I don't know. I got home late last night. Got up early today. You know, maybe that has something to do with it. And maybe it's all the marijuana I ingested right before I walked in.
[00:02:47] Speaker A: You look stoned as. Yeah, well, you let him come to work stoned? If he was. If he was high, would you care?
[00:02:54] Speaker B: I mean, we. It's kind of. It would be. It would be bad if we're selling THC drinks.
[00:03:00] Speaker A: Yeah, we are, though, right?
[00:03:01] Speaker B: You are, so. That's what I'm saying. It's hard to.
It's hard to say to people, don't be a stoner. And then you go, well, but you.
[00:03:08] Speaker A: You don't want them drinking on. You sell alcohol, too. You don't want them drinking on the job.
Right?
[00:03:12] Speaker C: We let them have a beer.
[00:03:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:03:14] Speaker A: Yeah, employees can have a beer.
[00:03:16] Speaker C: Yeah, they can have. They. Yeah.
[00:03:18] Speaker A: Don't push it at any time during their shift.
[00:03:21] Speaker C: I mean, that's a list, I guess, like. Yeah, but people wait until it's like, you know, until you're like, you're on the back nine, you know?
[00:03:28] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:03:30] Speaker C: You don't.
[00:03:30] Speaker A: You don't have any.
When's the last drink you had?
You had one at a show. Did you have any at the Tim Heidecker Show?
[00:03:41] Speaker B: Yeah, the misses Got. Got them in.
You.
[00:03:44] Speaker A: You and her had a drink?
[00:03:45] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:03:45] Speaker A: How'd it go? Did you get depressed immediately?
[00:03:48] Speaker B: No, no, I think I was fine.
[00:03:52] Speaker A: Would you have mgd? You like mgd? I don't think they have it there, though.
[00:03:56] Speaker B: No, she got me. She got me a Miller Light or something. Bizarre.
[00:04:01] Speaker A: Yeah. That's not bizarre. The most common beer on the planets. Not bizarre at all.
[00:04:07] Speaker B: When I said to her, I want a lager, and she comes back with Miller Light. That's a pilsner with piss. Yeah, basically, isn't it? Yeah, it's a fine pilsner.
Anyway.
[00:04:17] Speaker A: Hey, how'd that show go at the Vixen Lounge last week up in McHenry?
[00:04:20] Speaker C: It was actually. It was great.
[00:04:22] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:04:22] Speaker C: Yeah, it was good. Yeah, that was a great show.
The place was pretty full. Great crowd. Yeah. It went off for a Wednesday night. For a Wednesday night? McHenry, I guess it's a free show.
So, like, the whole town shows up every Wednesday.
[00:04:36] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:04:36] Speaker C: Because, I mean, that's like, you know, the hot ticket in town and.
Yeah, yeah, the place did. It filled up and people were very receptive of our act.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: You did Your act. And the Bulldog brothers did theirs.
[00:04:47] Speaker C: Did theirs, yeah. And they did great. I mean, like one of those sort of things. I mean, I've seen Pat and Andy do their acts, you know, dozens and dozens of times, but it's going so well that they're like adding little things, you know, like. Oh, he's never said that before, you know.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: Know.
[00:05:00] Speaker C: Yeah, you know, it's going well when that's going.
[00:05:02] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:05:02] Speaker C: They were.
[00:05:02] Speaker A: They were peacocking up.
[00:05:04] Speaker C: Yeah. We. We'll definitely be back hopefully next time for a weekend show and we'll do like a full two hours.
[00:05:11] Speaker B: That's the thing. When you go out to the burbs and stuff, you forget there's way less competition, like.
[00:05:16] Speaker C: Right.
[00:05:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: So people do shows there because I'm like, what the hell do you want to go out to, you know, here or there for? Like, it's the only game in town.
[00:05:24] Speaker C: And it paid. It paid well, too. Did.
[00:05:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:27] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:05:28] Speaker C: Yeah, it was. It was. It was a really good time.
[00:05:30] Speaker A: Yeah. It reminds me when I was doing my act out at Cigars and Stripes in Berwin with Aaron Foster.
[00:05:35] Speaker B: Was that with the one. The place that got busted with the one way mirror.
That was Cigars and Stripes, right?
[00:05:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, yeah, I think it was.
[00:05:44] Speaker B: Yeah, it turned out.
[00:05:45] Speaker A: Yeah, it turned out they were watching you tinkle in the bathroom.
[00:05:48] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:49] Speaker A: Right. I think it was Cigars and Stripes. Yeah. Yeah. They pack them in out there. I wouldn't think Foster draw a crowd, but he did.
[00:05:57] Speaker B: Talking of your act on the way down, Lou Mambo, number five. Lou Vega came.
[00:06:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:04] Speaker B: And I remember distinctly you having an act where you talked about Lou Vegas ass for about five minutes. What was that about?
[00:06:12] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:06:13] Speaker B: Every time I hear that song, it's just you on stage going, yeah, sticking my leg in Lou Vegas ass.
[00:06:19] Speaker A: I don't.
[00:06:20] Speaker B: That's why.
[00:06:21] Speaker A: I'm sure that's not what I said.
[00:06:22] Speaker C: What'd you say?
[00:06:23] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:06:24] Speaker C: No idea.
[00:06:24] Speaker A: But I. I do remember something about Lubega. Just that song was so catchy. When getting your head, you know, like a little bit on my mind, a little bit of Rita.
[00:06:35] Speaker B: You kept saying, like, you should add
[00:06:37] Speaker A: that one to the.
[00:06:38] Speaker C: I've tried it. It's harder than you think.
[00:06:40] Speaker A: Yeah, well, it's a lot.
[00:06:41] Speaker C: Yeah, there's a lot of little parts in there that you're not really like. They gotta do all the horn parts, you know.
Doesn't really translate to the piano very well.
[00:06:49] Speaker B: You should just do what? Build it and kept. Keep Saying I had my dick in L's ass for three minutes.
I don't think that's what I did to the tune.
[00:06:57] Speaker A: Don't be saying that. I don't think. All right, listen, I know you. This guy can't stop looking at my bag of treats over here. He's trying to see through the bag. What do you predict is in this bag of lunch that I brought?
[00:07:12] Speaker C: Are you asking both of us?
[00:07:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:14] Speaker C: Oh, I think there's a roll.
[00:07:17] Speaker A: A roll.
[00:07:18] Speaker C: I think there is some sort of sliced cheese.
[00:07:22] Speaker A: No.
Sounds like the lunch that I bring, though.
[00:07:26] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, you did make cheese sandwiches before.
[00:07:28] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I went.
[00:07:29] Speaker C: But I was. I was on it with the roll though. Huh.
[00:07:31] Speaker A: Okay, well, you're on a roll. What do you think's in the bag? What's in my bag?
[00:07:35] Speaker B: What's. What's intriguing? It looks almost like a little Caesars cardboard box on the top.
[00:07:43] Speaker C: That's what I thought the roll was.
[00:07:45] Speaker A: No, you don't know where this bag's from.
Okay, well, you should. You should be familiar with this bag. This is a 15 cent bag. I paid. I'm no longer paying the bag tag. The bag fee at Juul. 15 cents.
[00:07:58] Speaker C: I didn't know they went up from
[00:07:59] Speaker A: like 5 cents or 7 to 15 cents for a bag.
[00:08:01] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm behind that. You are behind train people.
[00:08:05] Speaker A: Do you bring your own bag?
[00:08:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I do.
[00:08:07] Speaker A: I always forget. You keep it on you.
[00:08:10] Speaker B: Oh, shite. I used it yesterday.
[00:08:12] Speaker A: Oh, you bring another plastic bag?
[00:08:15] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:08:15] Speaker A: Oh, you don't. You do a reusable bag? Well, it is reusable, I guess, but.
[00:08:18] Speaker B: Yeah, because I'm reusing the bag.
[00:08:20] Speaker A: Yeah, that's smart. I didn't think about that.
Yeah, I always think you got to bring a cloth bag in.

Yeah.
I was just about to leave, and I noticed, like, you know, wasn't. The bar wasn't quite clean up to my standards, so I, you know, flipped the lights on, like, if this isn't clean, then what else can I see that's not clean? And sure enough, like, hidden behind some sign somewhere as I was, like, lifting up everything and doing it.

[00:13:29] Speaker D: I like him in the Instagram reels. I've seen.
[00:13:31] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is early Bill Burr. We watched 2010 when he had hair.
[00:13:36] Speaker D: That's disturbing.
[00:13:37] Speaker A: A full head of hair. I didn't even know he ever had hair. Yeah, but it didn't seem like he was balding or was a slack.
[00:13:42] Speaker D: Is he handsome?
[00:13:43] Speaker A: No. He was bold and he was combing it over.
[00:13:46] Speaker B: No, no. He was. Yeah.
[00:13:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:49] Speaker D: Do you guys think he looked handsome?
[00:13:52] Speaker A: I don't think of him as handsome.
[00:13:54] Speaker D: Do we rate comedians based on how hot they are on this podcast?
[00:13:58] Speaker B: We don't sartorial review, don't we?
[00:14:01] Speaker A: What does that mean, sartorial?
[00:14:03] Speaker B: What they're wearing. We'll be catty.
[00:14:06] Speaker C: Yeah. What they look like on stage.
[00:14:07] Speaker A: Yeah. We do dissect their. Their look and appearance.
[00:14:10] Speaker D: Who is the best dressed? Do we have it off the top of our heads?
[00:14:14] Speaker A: Well, best is kind of a. Yeah,
[00:14:17] Speaker B: we all have different tastes.
[00:14:18] Speaker A: Yeah. I like sloppy.
[00:14:20] Speaker B: Yeah, Right.
[00:14:21] Speaker A: So I think sloppy looks best, but best dress. He was pretty well dressed. Bill Burr. He had nice shoes on.
[00:14:26] Speaker C: Yeah, he did. He was. He was dressed up for the occasion.
[00:14:30] Speaker B: Oh, no, he just had classic 90s bad boy of comedy.
[00:14:34] Speaker A: Yeah, it was bad.
[00:14:35] Speaker B: All black.
[00:14:36] Speaker C: Yeah, I thought it was purple.
[00:14:37] Speaker B: Sharp.
[00:14:38] Speaker A: Nice jeans.
Yeah, he was in the shiny.
[00:14:40] Speaker B: He was classic 90s bad boy of comedy.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Like Khalil. Yeah, he had a Khalil look going. All right, so I want to ask you about veganism.
[00:14:49] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:14:49] Speaker A: How long have you been vegan?
[00:14:50] Speaker D: Since 2019.
[00:14:53] Speaker A: Okay.
I'm about to sneeze, I think. I don't think I've ever sneezed on there.
What's going on with this guy? What can you. He came in appearing very different today.
He either looks stoned or he's got hay fever or he's been drinking or he's been up all night. Or you guys are into something. Yeah, Ketamine. I don't know.
[00:15:13] Speaker C: Yeah, that's it.
[00:15:14] Speaker A: You take ketamine.
[00:15:15] Speaker C: I love it.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: You look like you just came out of it. K hole.
[00:15:18] Speaker C: I'm in a K hole.
[00:15:19] Speaker A: You're in a K hole right now?
[00:15:20] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:15:21] Speaker A: You know what a K hole is, Mark?
[00:15:23] Speaker B: I assume it's one. Well, now you've tied it. I always thought it was something, you know, pervy, but I didn't realize.
[00:15:32] Speaker A: I don't really even know Drugs.
Drugs.
So 2019, are you strictly strict vegan?
[00:15:39] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no.
[00:15:40] Speaker D: I. I went vegan because I was dating somebody at the time who was vegan, and I like to share my food, and I. I felt depressed not being able to share my food, so I just went vegan. And I never stopped Kind of like me.
[00:15:51] Speaker A: You kind of backed into it.
[00:15:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:52] Speaker A: You know, like a teaching career or something.
I gave it up for Lent four or five years ago.
Just meat and see if I could do it. And I felt fantastic and never, never went back.
[00:16:04] Speaker D: I know I'm like, I don't exercise, but I just stay skinny. I can't help it.
[00:16:09] Speaker A: Yeah, you stay skinny by not eating meat.
[00:16:12] Speaker D: Yeah. But it's definitely not strict because I like to, you know, I have an adventurous palate, I guess.
[00:16:18] Speaker A: Wait a minute now. You can't go around saying you're vegan if you're having.
[00:16:21] Speaker D: You're the one who's been saying I'm vegan.
[00:16:23] Speaker A: He said you're vegan.
[00:16:25] Speaker D: It's just, I guess, easier than to be like, do you want to hear the entire list of dietary restrictions I will and will not participate in? Vegan is just the easiest, I guess.
[00:16:34] Speaker A: Will you eat hamburger?
[00:16:36] Speaker D: No.
[00:16:36] Speaker A: Ever?
[00:16:36] Speaker B: You could say vegan inclined.

[00:16:40] Speaker A: Vegan. Curious.
[00:16:41] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Something like that.

[00:16:45] Speaker B: No, no.
[00:16:47] Speaker A: Well, then what will you allow that's not vegan.
[00:16:49] Speaker D: Eggs.
[00:16:49] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:16:52] Speaker D: I like eggs. Sometimes I'll around with, like, shellfish, you know, that doesn't seem to bother me at this point too. It's like, it just bothers me when I eat meat or cheese.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:00] Speaker D: Like, I have a bite and then I just don't feel good. So why do that?
[00:17:03] Speaker B: You had a snowball.
[00:17:05] Speaker D: I did have a snowball. That was disgusting. Mark poured some goo into a glass and gave it to me.
[00:17:09] Speaker A: Oh, the snowball. The drink.

[00:17:43] Speaker A: No, they don't. They don't want to know anything about it. All right, thanks for popping.
[00:17:46] Speaker B: Well, yeah, cuz as soon as someone says I'm vegetarian, you immediately go, yeah, okay, mate. And then hope that that's the end of. End of the com.
[00:17:54] Speaker A: Yeah, you don't want to talk about that.
[00:17:57] Speaker B: Like when they say they're religious or anything that you enjoy.
[00:18:04] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:18:05] Speaker A: Oh, great. Yeah. You don't want to talk. Ask me about my vegetarian diet.
[00:18:13] Speaker B: But you will eat the body of Christ. That's interesting.
[00:18:17] Speaker A: Well, wow. True. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Christ wasn't a vegetarian. People think he was, but.
[00:18:22] Speaker B: Do you do that communion, Alex?
[00:18:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I go to church every. Every Sunday.
[00:18:28] Speaker B: Why you pull the other one?
[00:18:29] Speaker A: This is Holy Week for me. I don't need that.
[00:18:31] Speaker B: No, you probably go on the. What is it they say? The high holidays.

[00:19:00] Speaker B: What?
[00:19:01] Speaker A: He has horns.
Did you ever know that? No, he has. He has horns on a skull.
[00:19:06] Speaker B: Oh, the little bump things.
[00:19:08] Speaker A: Yeah.

[00:19:48] Speaker A: Yep. That's a long one.
[00:19:50] Speaker B: You lay palms down.
[00:19:52] Speaker A: No, you take them with you and you put them in your car and you leave them in your car in the visor for the whole year. I don't ever know what to do with the palms, though. After I still have last year's palms. I don't want to throw them out. It seems sacrilegious.
[00:20:04] Speaker B: When do you have hot cross buns? What day is that?
[00:20:07] Speaker A: Yeah. No, we don't know. Hot cross buns.
[00:20:10] Speaker B: That's going to be ham now.

[00:20:13] Speaker B: Hot cross buns.
[00:20:14] Speaker A: The fuck are you talking about? Hot cross buns. Is it being facetious?
[00:20:17] Speaker B: No. Hot cross buns. That's what you have. That's what Catholics have.
[00:20:21] Speaker A: I never heard that before.
[00:20:22] Speaker C: I still have the same Christmas tree
[00:20:23] Speaker A: from two Christmases ago in your living room.
[00:20:25] Speaker C: It's live. No, it's on my Porch. I have, like, an enclosed porch. You're kidding. No, I'm serious. And all the needles are all brown, but they just never fell off. And I kept meaning to give it to. There's, like, some teenage boys that live upstairs with their parents, right. And they have these fires with their friends. And I'm like, oh, this is perfect. I'm gonna give it to them when they have. Where the hell do they have backyard?
[00:20:44] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:20:46] Speaker C: So I was gonna give it to them, but they never had a fire all summer. And then the next Christmas came around, the Christmas tree was still there. I was just like, shit. I guess I wanted to get another one.
[00:20:55] Speaker A: It's still there.
[00:20:55] Speaker C: Used it again.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: Did you put it up this year?
[00:20:58] Speaker C: It stayed there the whole time.
[00:21:00] Speaker A: It would be funny to re. Put that up. You know, Put that back up. Re. Put that up. Put it back up and, like, make that your Christmas tree. Like a Charlie Brown, Spindly brown.
[00:21:08] Speaker C: It was. It was in the same place that I had it last year.
[00:21:11] Speaker A: So you brought it into the house?
[00:21:12] Speaker C: No, it was on the.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: No, but I'm saying. Yeah, like, set it up like a Christmas tree.
[00:21:16] Speaker C: Needles everywhere. That's what happened to me last time. Pat Bulda came over and fell into the Christmas tree, and I had needles all over my carpet for all the way through summer.
[00:21:23] Speaker A: I gotta tell you, I'm intrigued by these bullducks.
[00:21:25] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:21:26] Speaker A: You know, first of all, the name grabs me. I can't stop thinking about their name.
[00:21:29] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:21:30] Speaker A: I was walking the dog the other night, and I just kept saying the name bullduck and then bulldike, Bulldog. You gotta have these guys up. Guys. Do you book these guys here, the bulldogs?
[00:21:40] Speaker B: I don't book anyone.
[00:21:42] Speaker A: Are these guys books here?
[00:21:44] Speaker C: Who.
[00:21:45] Speaker A: Who does the booking?
[00:21:46] Speaker C: The producers.
[00:21:46] Speaker B: Do I know?
[00:21:47] Speaker A: No, no, for the show.
[00:21:49] Speaker B: Both of them have been in the lodge show. I can very. I can verify that because I make the programs.
[00:21:55] Speaker C: The producers of the lodge show book
[00:21:57] Speaker A: the Friday Saturday night show.
[00:21:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:21:59] Speaker A: Who are the producers?
[00:22:01] Speaker B: It's the cast. Yeah, there's like, eight people.
[00:22:04] Speaker A: Weird.
You got to get these guys up.
[00:22:07] Speaker B: Isn't it weird to have a democracy?
[00:22:09] Speaker A: Well, yeah. I mean, you should have one guy making all the decisions.
[00:22:12] Speaker B: Yeah, that always works. Well, hot cross bun is a spiced bun eaten on Easter Friday to mark the end of Lent. The cross represents.
[00:22:24] Speaker A: Yeah. The cross of Jesus Christ.
[00:22:27] Speaker B: So how did I never know this?

[00:22:47] Speaker A: The Long Good.
[00:22:48] Speaker B: The Long Good Friday.
Classic. Mirren, Helen. Mirren, Helen Marin.
Who's the work done? The fat one.
[00:22:59] Speaker A: British?
[00:23:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: Woman.
[00:23:01] Speaker B: No, dude. Oh, Roger Rabbit.
[00:23:03] Speaker C: Oh yeah.
[00:23:05] Speaker B: Classic. Hoskins Mirror.
[00:23:07] Speaker A: Is it about Jesus?
[00:23:09] Speaker B: It's about London gangsters.
[00:23:11] Speaker A: Oh yeah. I watched Peak. I watched the Peak.
[00:23:13] Speaker B: You don't know a lot, do you, about Good Friday?
You don't know. I don't know that British movie.
It's the classic.
[00:23:21] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know.
[00:23:22] Speaker B: Watch it every. Have you seen.
[00:23:24] Speaker A: What do you.
What am I, three sheets of the wind over there?
[00:23:27] Speaker C: Every time I look at him, no idea what's going on.
[00:23:29] Speaker A: He's in mushrooms or something.
We'll talk. What do you mean?
[00:23:34] Speaker C: Religious wise? Yeah, nothing really, I guess.
[00:23:36] Speaker A: No, no. You grow up Christian or anything?
[00:23:40] Speaker C: Hey, went to church three times a week. The whole. The whole shebang.
[00:23:44] Speaker A: I was thinking about this last night too when I was walking the dogs, thinking about you and Christian being named Christian.
But like other religions, they don't name their kid. Yeah, you don't need your kid, like Jewish.
[00:23:55] Speaker C: Yeah. This is.
[00:23:56] Speaker A: Jews don't call their kids.
[00:23:57] Speaker C: This is fresh. I've never heard this before.
[00:23:59] Speaker A: You haven't?
[00:23:59] Speaker C: No. You have. Come on.
[00:24:01] Speaker A: Ah, fuck. I thought that was a good bit.
[00:24:03] Speaker B: Were you into the Christians? The band that was big in the 90s?
[00:24:06] Speaker C: I didn't know this.
[00:24:07] Speaker A: The Christians?
Nah, I never heard of them.
[00:24:10] Speaker C: I wish.
[00:24:10] Speaker B: Tons of hits.
[00:24:12] Speaker C: Can you sing one?
[00:24:14] Speaker B: No, because I didn't like them.
[00:24:15] Speaker C: Oh, British.
[00:24:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:17] Speaker A: Nobody knows.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: There you go. Can we return to the hot cross ones? In 1952, during the reign of Elizabeth the First, the London clerk of markets issued a decree forbidding the sale of spiced buns and other spiced breads, except at burials on Good Friday in an attempt to stamp out Catholicism.
[00:24:39] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. You guys don't like the Catholics?
[00:24:42] Speaker B: Throw another one. Throwing another one on the fire.
It's getting cold in. Yeah.
[00:24:49] Speaker C: Jesus Christ.
That's right.
[00:24:53] Speaker A: Catholics.
Yeah.
So I do know the song Hot Cross Buns though.
[00:25:00] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. That's Hot Cross Buns.
[00:25:04] Speaker A: What does that mean? How. One a penny, two a penny. Hot cross buns.
[00:25:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:07] Speaker A: What does it have to do with the.
How you sell them for a penny to a penny? Hot Cross Buns.
[00:25:14] Speaker B: Yeah, we all remember that classic.
[00:25:17] Speaker A: So they sing that in schools, but I never thought of that as a Religious song.
[00:25:20] Speaker C: Yeah. I didn't know it was either. I've never heard of Hot spots. Yeah. In relation to religion.
[00:25:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:25] Speaker B: Listening to the bun special on.
[00:25:28] Speaker A: So that's why I don't know about it. Because it's British. This hot cross bun shit.
[00:25:35] Speaker C: They're like the band Christians.
[00:25:36] Speaker A: Like the Christians.
Protestants.
[00:25:39] Speaker B: According to Wiki, it's traditionally eaten on Good Friday in the uk, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand. Southern.
[00:25:44] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:46] Speaker B: And the United States.
[00:25:48] Speaker C: Oh, see, you do know about it, Bill.
[00:25:51] Speaker A: Well, maybe I'll take a look at that. So it's just a bun.
That's.
[00:25:55] Speaker B: It's revolting.
I think they put currents in it.
It's spiced. It's got this weird.
[00:26:01] Speaker A: Like an Ann Sather roll.
[00:26:02] Speaker B: Yeah. You know, you eating, like. What is it? What are they going to. I want to try it.
I'm surprised.
[00:26:10] Speaker A: It's a ply zine over there.
[00:26:11] Speaker C: Yeah. Can you go to Walgreens?
[00:26:13] Speaker A: Fall out of the chair.
[00:26:14] Speaker C: Can you give me some Fritos, too?
[00:26:16] Speaker B: What are the Polskis eating on Friday? They must have these Paxis punch keys.
[00:26:22] Speaker A: No, it's not.
[00:26:23] Speaker B: I thought that's another time.
[00:26:25] Speaker A: Pulaski day punch.
[00:26:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:26:27] Speaker A: Yeah.
They ate a different gross thing.
Well, yes, it is Good Friday and Easter and I haven't thought about what I'm gonna make for Easter, but probably get a honey baked ham for the. Yeah, they don't eat it, but I'll bring you guys.
[00:26:42] Speaker B: Neither do you either. What do you do with it?
[00:26:46] Speaker C: Look at it.
[00:26:47] Speaker A: Then I make. You ever have chopped ham salad?
[00:26:52] Speaker C: So it's.
[00:26:52] Speaker A: You take a ham like honey. Like a nice ham. You chop it up real thin. Like, dice it.
[00:26:57] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:57] Speaker A: And then you mix in the relish and the mayonnaise.
[00:27:00] Speaker C: Put that on.
[00:27:01] Speaker A: Hawaiian roll.
[00:27:01] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:27:02] Speaker A: We're gonna enlighten up over there. Talking about food.
Although he's not eating the sandwich.
[00:27:10] Speaker B: It's so cold. Dude. We got a warm.
[00:27:12] Speaker A: I just came right straight. I came straight away from the Jewel.
[00:27:15] Speaker C: I'm too high to figure out how to open the package.
[00:27:18] Speaker B: Stone cold.
[00:27:20] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:20] Speaker B: Maybe I'll put. Hang it in.
[00:27:21] Speaker A: Put it in the micro. Yeah. Put it on the heater.
When I was at the Jewel, I've. I had all the stuff. I was going to the checkout and.
But then I was like. I didn't have any. What are they gonna eat this dry? Right. Like, without any condiments. So I went back, but I had to. You know how you have to walk.
[00:27:38] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:27:38] Speaker A: Back. And I had to walk by that Starbucks. You know, the register yeah, you know, the one on Elson.
[00:27:43] Speaker C: I don't think so.
[00:27:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:45] Speaker A: Clyborne. I had to walk by right through the line of the Starbucks, which was empty. And the gal was just sitting there, like standing at the counter as I walked through. I crop dusted her with a fart and went and got the condiments and went back around. I crop dusted that lady.
[00:28:04] Speaker B: That's the. That's the. The infamous.
[00:28:09] Speaker C: Just for no reason.
[00:28:10] Speaker A: Yeah, well, no, I had to. I mean, I was walking by, I was like, I'm crop dusting her.
[00:28:14] Speaker C: I like crop dusting people already standing there. Nothing to doing that. Not that it's gonna put up with this.
[00:28:22] Speaker B: Let's make it worse.
The only time I like quote crop dusting is when it's.
When it's a very small child and it's absolutely revolting. And just the look on the kid's face is like, you know, just crop dusted.
[00:28:42] Speaker A: It is funny.
It is funny. Crop dust people.
[00:28:45] Speaker B: Jenna always does it, doesn't she?
[00:28:48] Speaker C: What, really?
[00:28:49] Speaker A: Jenna Gephardt?
[00:28:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:28:50] Speaker A: Crop dust people here.
[00:28:51] Speaker C: I wasn't aware of this.
[00:28:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:28:53] Speaker C: Is that what's been happening?
[00:28:54] Speaker B: Yeah. Other bartenders have mentioned it.
[00:28:57] Speaker C: This makes a lot of sense.
[00:29:00] Speaker A: She's a crop duster. Yeah, well, it's not a. She's just. Just farting in someone's presence. Isn't really a crop dust. A crop dust is when. When you fly by. Potentially, it's a fly by. And you.
[00:29:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:29:12] Speaker A: You leave them with one man. Yeah. As you go by. Wow, that's. That, that's great. That's hot news.
Jenna Gephardt, crop duster.
[00:29:21] Speaker B: Michael.
[00:29:21] Speaker A: Mark.
[00:29:23] Speaker B: No, According to other. At least one bartender here said it.
My cousin, who had the most revolting farts in the world, if you were ever out on the pole and he. He would come up, cheer, and go, all right, Mark, just check in. Do you want anything from the bar? And you know, while I'm going to the bar. No, I'm all right, mate. And then three seconds after he walked,
[00:29:48] Speaker A: did you realize you got your.
[00:29:49] Speaker B: Both that you and this girl you're trying to chat on are standing in the middle of a mushroom cloud and
[00:29:58] Speaker A: she might think you did it.
[00:29:59] Speaker C: You can't prove that you didn't do it.
[00:30:02] Speaker A: That's great. He would do that on purpose all the time.
Great. That's great.
The worst is when you're on a plane and somebody's blasting. You don't have any idea where that's coming from. Right. You're just free to fart however you want on a plane, there's nobody can identify it. It's unidentifiable. Right. Like, you know, it's probably the guy in front of you. You can't be sure.
[00:30:23] Speaker C: I have no clue. Yeah.
[00:30:25] Speaker A: Oh, it's so bad.
Well, what do you got on your agenda? Anything?
[00:30:31] Speaker B: My agenda was Lou. Lou Vegas.
[00:30:35] Speaker A: I don't remember. I don't remember that bit. But I don't think it was what you're saying.
Well, thanks for accommodating my early.
My early tea time.
[00:30:45] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. What's your Cubs game deal today? Are you just going to the game?
[00:30:49] Speaker B: Is it 120?
[00:30:49] Speaker A: It's a 120. Yeah. Who are they playing, the Los Angeles Angels or the Anaheim Angels? I don't know what they. Los Angeles Angels. I don't know. Like Trout and Company.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: It's one of the.
One of the most important games of the year, isn't it? One of the first six that they play because you got to establish an early pace for the remaining 76.
[00:31:09] Speaker A: 76, 162 games they play at home. Oh, yes. Yeah. I've already gone to three out of the four. Couldn't go last night.
[00:31:18] Speaker B: You're. You're a bit of a baseball historian. How did baseball arrive at such an insane amount?
Like, why.
[00:31:28] Speaker A: Why so many games?
[00:31:29] Speaker B: Yeah. Like what?
[00:31:30] Speaker A: It is an insane amount of games.
[00:31:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:32] Speaker A: 162 games. But it eclipses all the other sports by a wide margin. I don't know the answer to that.
It probably has to do something with Judge Mountain Landis. The early commissioner must have saw a buck to be made in the more games that were played. Something like that.
[00:31:50] Speaker B: I guess if early days and there's no flights and stuff and you're a team traveling around, it makes sense. Like, why would we drive all the way to Cincinnati, play once.
[00:32:00] Speaker A: Yeah. We go out there and play bunch of games and then come back. Yeah.
[00:32:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:05] Speaker A: I don't know. I'll get back to you on that.
I want to research it.
[00:32:09] Speaker B: It just seems insane that someone said, no, we really need 162 to sort.
[00:32:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:32:15] Speaker B: Sort the wheat from the chaff.
[00:32:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:32:18] Speaker C: Do you know if it was always like that or did they advance the number of games as the. As more teams join the league?
Like when there's only like 10 teams, do they still do 162 games and see each other?
[00:32:31] Speaker A: Yeah. That many times wouldn't make sense, right. To do that many.
I'm going to get. I'm going to get back to You?
[00:32:35] Speaker C: Yeah, Something to look into.
[00:32:37] Speaker A: Yeah, I've got to go to the bathroom bad.
[00:32:39] Speaker C: Oh, really? Are you going to cry?
[00:32:41] Speaker A: Will you guys be able to hold it down? If I go to the bathroom, I
[00:32:44] Speaker C: can just hit pause.
[00:32:45] Speaker B: I can.
[00:32:45] Speaker A: Yeah, no, no, don't hit pause. I want to see if you guys. I want. Because when I listen to this, I want to know what you guys talked
[00:32:50] Speaker C: about when I'm talking about stuff in the basement.
[00:32:51] Speaker A: It'll be fun for me. Yeah, about the basement stuff.
[00:32:54] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:32:54] Speaker A: Carpet cleaner. Hey, what happened last week? You didn't even talk about the. You had this whole water explosion in here. He didn't even mention it on the program. Did you remediate all that? That's all done or you're on a new problem?
[00:33:06] Speaker B: Well, it was a long gap, wasn't it? So, like it happened on a Thursday, so it was by the time we recorded.
[00:33:14] Speaker C: Feels like a million years ago already.
[00:33:15] Speaker A: Yeah, but you were talking about something else. You have new problems this week?
[00:33:20] Speaker B: No, I bought a carpet cleaner to clean off, like.
[00:33:23] Speaker A: Oh, so you actually bought a big machine?
[00:33:25] Speaker B: No, not the industrial one. They cost a bleeding fortune. I got like a WHO sort of a. A mid range.
[00:33:34] Speaker A: But it'll clean all these carpets.
[00:33:37] Speaker B: No, it's only gonna do spots. I think you need that Home Depot one to. Really.
[00:33:43] Speaker A: So whenever you clean the carpets, it sounds like you've been doing it. You go and you rent it and bring it back and then you. That's where you got.
[00:33:49] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:33:49] Speaker A: Dinged for the 20 and then five.
[00:33:51] Speaker B: And then you cry yourself to sleep as the first weekend you come in, it just looks like shit again.
[00:33:57] Speaker A: Yeah, everything about hardwood floors for this joint. Why carpet? Is carpet important for comedy?
[00:34:04] Speaker B: If you heard the creaking of the floors in this place, you'd know why.
[00:34:09] Speaker A: And the carpet helps with that?
[00:34:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:34:13] Speaker A: Do comedy clubs have carpet?
Is it good for acoustics?
[00:34:19] Speaker C: Do you know the export fitness on school and something or other school in Ashland I think has carpet in the locker room.
[00:34:33] Speaker A: The one on Ashland? In the school in Ashland?
[00:34:36] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:34:37] Speaker A: Carpet in the locker room, carpet in
[00:34:38] Speaker C: the men's locker room.
[00:34:39] Speaker A: I feel like they have. They had that at the east bank club when I went there.
[00:34:42] Speaker C: Wall to wall, like flush carpeting. Yeah. No. Yeah, that like collects all like everything that touches it. No, it's disgusting. Yeah, it seriously does. At least it did 10 years ago.
[00:34:53] Speaker B: Weird choice.
[00:34:54] Speaker C: Yeah, I thought so too.
[00:34:56] Speaker A: I gotta go to the bathroom. You guys gotta. No, do not hit the button. You two talk. No, I want you guys to get to Know each other.
[00:35:05] Speaker C: Let's see how long we can sit
[00:35:06] Speaker B: here in silence, Test out the piss splash.
[00:35:08] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:35:09] Speaker B: If it does its job doing a
[00:35:11] Speaker C: number one or two.
[00:35:15] Speaker B: I'm just gonna edit this out.
Close the goddamn door.
Nope, he's gone. Never mind.
[00:35:25] Speaker C: He's got to come back.
[00:35:26] Speaker B: It's just letting the heat out. Yeah. I'm just gonna cut this out.
I wish this was warm.
[00:35:35] Speaker C: I know.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: Hungry?
[00:35:36] Speaker C: Well, I mean, I really did eat half a chicken parm sandwich for breakfast, so I.
I don't know if I got another chicken sandwich. I don't know if I have room for another chicken sandwich in me.
[00:35:49] Speaker B: Oh, I'm salted out.
Heather bought this V8 to put in chile, and I said, you don't need a massive V8. She says, yeah, you do like the juice? Yeah. Oh, And I said, it says V8, but we never do that.
We always just get a little tin of concentrate, I water it down. Boom, job done. So she buys this VA after an argument about it in the Jewel. I get it home, and she's like, oh, yeah, you're right. It is only a tiny little half cup of it.
So guess who has to drink all the V8 now?
[00:36:33] Speaker C: There's so much sodium.
[00:36:34] Speaker B: It is. Well, I have a little bit of it, and then I dilute the shit out of it.
The thing's out.
[00:36:43] Speaker C: So you've got VA for months.
[00:36:46] Speaker B: No, I think I'll see it off in a week or two.
[00:36:49] Speaker C: Hey, I looked it up, by the way. I couldn't see what you had sent as far as a screenshot of the effects of drinking a shot of apple cider vinegar every morning. And so I looked it up myself, and sure enough, it is bad for you.
[00:37:01] Speaker A: I told you.
[00:37:02] Speaker C: Yeah, they say you shouldn't do that. I've been doing it for years.
[00:37:05] Speaker A: Just the shot? The straight shot.
[00:37:06] Speaker C: Just a shot.
[00:37:07] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:07] Speaker C: They're like, it's bad for your throat, it's bad for your teeth, bad for your digestive system.
For years, I've been doing this every morning.
[00:37:14] Speaker A: Well, they say it's okay if you dilute.
[00:37:16] Speaker C: Yeah, one or two tablespoons. They said, do not take a shot of it. And that's exactly first thing in the morning every day.
[00:37:21] Speaker A: Jesus Christ. Where'd you get this information to begin with?
[00:37:22] Speaker C: As somebody told me.
Somebody told me along the way, I said, okay, you're right.
[00:37:27] Speaker A: Well, thank God for I'll do that
[00:37:28] Speaker C: for five years until Bill tells me otherwise.
[00:37:30] Speaker A: Maybe that's why you're so out of sorts. If you Stop this now.
[00:37:32] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:37:32] Speaker A: You're not doing it anymore. Yeah. Are. He's going back to the Nuggets. What? So what did you get. Did you carry the show on while I was gone?
[00:37:39] Speaker C: Yeah, we talked about V8.
[00:37:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:37:41] Speaker A: Juice. Okay.
I worried it would be like the Seinfeld where.
[00:37:45] Speaker C: Yeah. When they.
[00:37:45] Speaker A: George and.
[00:37:46] Speaker C: Thank you for referencing Seinfeld, Elaine.
[00:37:48] Speaker A: They don't know what to talk about without Jerry there.
[00:37:49] Speaker C: That's early on. And then, you know, over the years, they become like. You notice all of a sudden they just kind of write it in there that, like, Elaine and George are friends on the side. You know? And he's like. I thought the whole bit was, they don't know what to talk about without Jerry. But they abandoned that whole ship.
[00:38:02] Speaker A: Well, I look forward to listening.
[00:38:04] Speaker B: Do you ever get in awkward social situations where you've only got one thing in common with someone and so your entire convo is Just.
[00:38:13] Speaker A: Has to stay right there?
[00:38:14] Speaker B: Just. It could be a sports team or something. And you.
You get a few minutes in and you're like, I'm not going to talk about this for 10 minutes. Just to.
[00:38:24] Speaker A: Then you gotta figure out how to get out of there.
[00:38:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:26] Speaker C: I've gotten really good at just saying goodbye. Just walking away from the situation.
[00:38:30] Speaker A: How do you do?
[00:38:30] Speaker C: I just say, okay, great talking to you. And I just. Because they know it too. They also don't want to be doing this.
[00:38:35] Speaker A: You know, Saving them.
[00:38:36] Speaker C: Exactly. You both want to do that. So one of us just has to do it. And you do it. The other person goes, oh, thank God. Yeah. Good to see you. Bye.
[00:38:42] Speaker B: What if you're in the worst possible situation on the planet and you're at a table at a wedding.
[00:38:47] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:38:48] Speaker B: And she's like, oh, my God, we got three goddamn courses.
[00:38:53] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:53] Speaker B: And you need nothing to talk about.
[00:38:54] Speaker A: Talk to this person.
[00:38:55] Speaker C: You just gotta. Yeah. Usually those are weddings that you were brought to. It wasn't your idea to go. Right. If you're stuck at that table, you just gotta go through with it. Yeah. You just gotta start making it fun for yourself.
[00:39:07] Speaker A: You know what? It's like, we talked about this, but it was my worst nightmare, but I ended up loving it was the train. Where do you get seated on the train? Amtrak. With strangers. And you have to. You're just in a love seat with them.
[00:39:18] Speaker C: A lot of them don't want to talk to you either.
[00:39:20] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:39:20] Speaker C: I'll talk, though. I'll talk to anybody. Have to talk.
[00:39:23] Speaker A: I can't just sit there.
[00:39:24] Speaker B: You can't sit There. And you looking into their.
[00:39:26] Speaker A: Looking right at them. Right.
[00:39:29] Speaker B: You can't not talk.
[00:39:30] Speaker C: They'll start adjusting the little smuckers jellies.
[00:39:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:39:32] Speaker C: Lining them up. Anything to tidying. Act like they're busy.
You're not going anywhere.
[00:39:36] Speaker B: What did you open with?
[00:39:38] Speaker C: Geez, I don't know where from.
[00:39:40] Speaker A: You know, it's like crowd work.
[00:39:41] Speaker B: It's like doing crowding.
[00:39:43] Speaker C: Right, Exactly.
[00:39:44] Speaker A: L.
You do lubega callbacks.
You like lubega Mambo number nine.
[00:39:53] Speaker B: I bet your misses Open the Open the gambit, as it were. And then you just.
[00:39:58] Speaker A: She's better. She's. Yeah, she has more social grace than me. She'll do it. She'll gambit it just so that I won't open because I usually bizarre. And then she's got a squirm through that.
[00:40:09] Speaker C: Pull the nose up.
[00:40:11] Speaker A: Filibusters me from talking so that I don't say anything.
Yeah.
[00:40:17] Speaker C: All right.
[00:40:17] Speaker A: I want to say. Before we get started, I want to say welcome to a new listener, Alex Cormu.
[00:40:22] Speaker C: All right.
[00:40:23] Speaker A: Good friend of mine that's been listening since really day one, and told me that we had our first anniversary, I think, recently.
[00:40:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:40:31] Speaker A: And 45 episodes we've had. They're very impressed at how prolific we are. But I just found out the other day, I was at the Cubs game, and I bring a lunch now. I got a Cubs lunch cooler. You'll see it when you guys come.
And I put cheese and crackers in there, apple slices, nuts. I made a hummus sandwich. I bring my water.
You can bring it in.
[00:40:57] Speaker C: You can bring in food.
[00:40:57] Speaker A: Bring in any food you want.
[00:40:59] Speaker B: What?
[00:40:59] Speaker C: Yes.
It's always been that way.
[00:41:02] Speaker A: I think it's always been that way.
And so I was bringing that in, and I was taking pictures of me eating the cheese and crackers at the game like a weirdo, you know? And he was on the text thread, he goes, why'd you bring some hard boiled eggs? And then. Or somebody said, one of the guys said, listen, says, why don't you bring hard boiled eggs? And I didn't even get the reference.
[00:41:21] Speaker C: Oh, that's okay.
[00:41:23] Speaker A: Yeah. And then he said the hard boiled egg and reveal was one of the top five moments in podcasts in 2026. And I was like, what? I go, you've been listening. He's been listening.
[00:41:34] Speaker C: That's great.
[00:41:35] Speaker A: For a year. And I just found out he's been listening. He's listening to all the episodes. Listens with his lovely wife Mina, who's expecting a baby any day now. And his two kids. He said he had to turn it off during the valve, though. He said it almost ruined Christmas. I don't know why, but could we
[00:41:51] Speaker B: ask them not to listen together, but listen so we could get back into double figures? Yeah, because it's distorting it, you know, if the whole family is sat around.
[00:42:03] Speaker A: Yeah, that's probably a lot of that. Yeah.
We have way more listeners than they're showing up.
[00:42:10] Speaker B: We should multiply our listening figures by what, 20?
[00:42:14] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know. I'm not. I'm not privy to the numbers. But I'll say this. This fellow's been listening all this time. He didn't tell me he was listening, so he's not doing it for me, you know, to make me feel good. And then I just found out, if you're going to listen to all these episodes, there's got to be something inherently listenable about this program. To listen to 40 something episodes.
[00:42:39] Speaker B: Do people watch the actual specials?
No, they just tuning in for the shite.
[00:42:45] Speaker A: That was the complaint of one of the guys saying this. This is the only podcast in my feed where I have to do homework.
[00:42:52] Speaker C: He doesn't have to.
[00:42:53] Speaker A: Right, right. I know.
[00:42:55] Speaker C: It just makes it a more enjoyable experience. You don't have to listen at all.
Lots of people take that advice.
[00:43:01] Speaker A: Right. That's why we fill the show 95% with.
[00:43:05] Speaker C: That's why I bring the heat.
[00:43:06] Speaker A: I have nothing to do for 50
[00:43:07] Speaker C: minutes and then we talk about the special for 10.
[00:43:09] Speaker A: That's right.
All right.
[00:43:11] Speaker B: That feels like a bait and switch to me.
[00:43:14] Speaker A: What do you mean?
[00:43:14] Speaker B: I was told this was gonna be about comedy.
[00:43:17] Speaker A: Oh, you've been bait and switch in here too? Yeah, we did kind of change it if you listen to the. And another guy told me, one of our many listeners, that all these episodes are transcribed.
[00:43:28] Speaker C: Right?
[00:43:28] Speaker A: Like all our words are written out.
[00:43:32] Speaker B: What's that for? No, it does it. The tool does it.
[00:43:35] Speaker A: Maybe for the hearing impaired. They don't want to be called hearing impaired. They want to be called deaf. The deaf community.
[00:43:42] Speaker C: You know what it's really useful for? A lot of podcasts will start with like two minutes of ads, and you got to kind of fast forward through it, you know? But then you have to backtrack because you've gone too far. But with the transcription, the ads are just an ellipses, just a dot, dot, dot, because they don't transcribe the ads for whatever reason. So you can just go through it quicker. You can just like click the first paragraph and it Gets right into. Hey, welcome to the podcast. You're listening to.
[00:44:06] Speaker A: Yeah, it's all transcribed.
[00:44:08] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Are you admiring our Ric Flair?
[00:44:11] Speaker A: Oh, I didn't notice that.
[00:44:12] Speaker C: Do you know where this is from?
[00:44:13] Speaker B: Has he come down from the sea?
[00:44:14] Speaker C: Yeah. I had to replace that ceiling tile that was damaged in the great flood of 2026, and that was up there. Ric Flair has been looking down on all of us through a little hole in the ceiling. I put that there maybe. I don't know. Last summer, I cut holes in some of the ceiling tiles to install lights, but they didn't need lights. I had miscounted or whatever. So instead of just, you know, I already painted the ceiling tile, etc, so I just put little Easter eggs to. For people to find. And one of them was Ric Flair looking down on you. If you're walking on the hallway and you looked up, you'd see his face. You'd see him pointing. See that whole picture, his face and his finger pointing.
[00:44:49] Speaker A: That's cool.
[00:44:50] Speaker C: Yeah. So when I replaced the ceiling tile, I did think about just cutting a whole new hole just to put it back, you know, like going through all that effort, but I thought, that's too much good in here. I just put it up here.
[00:44:59] Speaker B: Do you know, keeps putting tiny little babies and stuff.
[00:45:03] Speaker C: That's a new fad that all the kids are doing, like, all the.
[00:45:07] Speaker A: Like the cakes in a Mardi Gras cake thing?
[00:45:09] Speaker C: No, they're like. They're like. Okay, so like, all the.
What generation. What is it now?
[00:45:15] Speaker A: Z.
[00:45:16] Speaker C: Z? Okay, so they get these little figurines, these little tiny. Like, this big. Like, the size of your pinky nail. Maybe smaller. Of, like, babies or ducks or whatever.
[00:45:26] Speaker A: Oh, I do the ducks and they.
[00:45:27] Speaker C: They mean little things. Yeah. Somebody gave me a duck last weekend, and Jenna had to expl to me as she was crop dusting what it meant. She said this because somebody came in and we were already, like, last call, and they were coming from across the street, and I said, hey, we're done serving. You know, there was a group of friends, and they were like, well, do you know a bar around here? I said, what are you looking for? And I gave him a good recommendation. And I came back. Jenna said, that girl wanted you to have this. It means, you know, something like friendship or something. Oh, that's cool.
[00:45:52] Speaker A: It was a duck.
[00:45:53] Speaker C: Yeah. And it's still actually sitting on my desk at home.
[00:45:56] Speaker B: They're everywhere in the toilet.
[00:45:58] Speaker C: Somebody put one in my plant up front. I noticed.
[00:46:01] Speaker A: I don't know why I Had a student do this at the end of the semester. She was very meek and quiet student. Never said a word all semester. 16th week, as we're kind of like wrapping up the class, she goes. She raised her hand. She goes, would it be okay if I gave everyone a tiny little duck that glows?
I was like, what? And she took out a bag of ducks and handed every and everyone in the class a tiny little duck that. Yeah. Minute little duck that glows.
And it was like the most night. It was the nicest, sweetest, like, unexpected thing, and we were all, like, bowled over by it.
So. Yeah, I got some ducks now, too. I hand out once in a while.
[00:46:43] Speaker C: You're a duck hander outer.
[00:46:44] Speaker A: Yeah, I'll do it. Yeah. I'll say. And I'll do it just like she did. I'll say, would you like a tiny little duck that glows? And they're like, what the. You what?
And I hand them this little duck, and they're like, okay. And disarms people, you know, Choking hazard.
[00:46:58] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[00:46:59] Speaker A: Good God.
[00:47:06] Speaker C: All right, let's talk about comedy.
[00:47:07] Speaker A: Let's talk about comedy.
[00:47:08] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:47:09] Speaker A: I'm excited to. To talk about Bill Burr, and I'm excited to. It's my pick today, right?
[00:47:14] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:47:15] Speaker A: To give you a new pick. I'm gonna bring us back to current or mostly current. But let's talk about Bill Burr. Everybody knows Bill Burr.
[00:47:23] Speaker C: Everybody knows Bill Burr by now.
[00:47:25] Speaker A: Everywhere now.
[00:47:25] Speaker B: You know, that's. That's the funny thing. This is the first time I've watched him.
[00:47:29] Speaker A: You've never seen his act until now?
[00:47:31] Speaker B: Never.
[00:47:31] Speaker A: Come on.
[00:47:32] Speaker B: No, I. Serious. And that. I know, that is staggering. But I. Honestly, part of the reason I agreed to do this was I felt I did have to catch up.
[00:47:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:47:42] Speaker B: You know, and be like, it's 2025.
Everyone knows who Bill Burr is except me.
[00:47:49] Speaker A: You know who he is, but you've never seen his act.
[00:47:51] Speaker B: Exactly. I've sort of.
[00:47:52] Speaker A: So you've seen him in movies?
[00:47:54] Speaker B: I know of him because, like, you know, when I said to Nate, he produced.
He produced Nate Craig special at the Green Mill, right?
[00:48:01] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:48:02] Speaker B: I said to him, how can you afford all these goddamn cameras? Stuff? And he's. Oh, it's Bill Burr's production company.
[00:48:09] Speaker A: How does he know? How does Nate know Bill. What? How did.
[00:48:11] Speaker B: That. He went. He went on tour with him and stuff. He's been to, like, the Emirates with him and shit like that. I don't know.
[00:48:18] Speaker A: Only because, I mean, I.
I don't. I don't know. The relationship. But their acts are not in any way copacetic, I don't think. Or maybe they are.
[00:48:28] Speaker C: They're not. They're not that far apart.
[00:48:30] Speaker B: They're both left leaning.
[00:48:33] Speaker A: I don't know that burrs that left leaning.
[00:48:36] Speaker B: Well, you gotta.
You gotta wiki it.
[00:48:39] Speaker A: Not in this special.
[00:48:40] Speaker B: Not in this special. No. He's a misogynist in this. But I think he's famously left leaning.
[00:48:46] Speaker C: I think he tries to stay pretty
[00:48:48] Speaker A: close to the center.
[00:48:49] Speaker C: Yeah. Close to the center. And stay away from being either labeled left or right.
Yeah, I listen to a lot of.
[00:48:54] Speaker A: Kind of like Gillis. He's kind of like Gillis in that sense.
[00:48:57] Speaker C: Right.
He. He generally has a position of, you know, you can't. You can't be left or right. You have to kind of like.
[00:49:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:49:05] Speaker C: Pick and choose what's right of each of them. You know, you can't label yourself one way or the other. Otherwise then you just wasting your time yelling at the other side.
[00:49:11] Speaker A: It's like an actor who wants to not. Doesn't want anyone to know whether they're gay or straight.
[00:49:16] Speaker C: Just like that.
[00:49:17] Speaker B: Actually, you know why I think of him as left leaning? So the only thing I had seen of him, I saw a clip where an interviewer went up to him and said, bilber, what do you think of blah, blah, blah, blah? And he said to me, I'm a comedian. Why are you asking me? You need to go ask a politician.
[00:49:34] Speaker A: Right?
[00:49:35] Speaker B: And I thought, oh, that's cool.
But if he was right wing, he would have said, this is my opinion, and rammed it down the guy's throat
[00:49:44] Speaker A: that he was smart.
[00:49:46] Speaker B: The fact that he was left leaning was because he said, you don't need to know my opinion.
[00:49:55] Speaker A: I don't know. Which is reading the tea leaves there. I think you're.
[00:49:58] Speaker B: No, no, they're not. That's. That's my opinion as well.
[00:50:01] Speaker A: Yeah. All right. Well, you're entitled to it.
That opinion.
[00:50:06] Speaker B: Too many opinions in this world. Let's thin out the opinion heard starting now.
[00:50:11] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. As we have an opinion show here.
[00:50:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:50:14] Speaker C: Line in the sand.
[00:50:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay.
[00:50:16] Speaker B: Let's do this show without explaining any facts only.
[00:50:23] Speaker A: Let's talk about the hair. I want to talk about his hair. When did he lose the hair?
[00:50:27] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't know. I started listening to his podcast in 2018 when I was taking the train out to a music school that I was teaching at all the time. And by then he was bald.
I started listening to the podcast because somebody told me about this Special.
[00:50:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:50:40] Speaker A: He's got a big podcast, right?
[00:50:41] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:50:42] Speaker A: Gets big numbers. Like us.
[00:50:44] Speaker C: Yeah, I'd imagine. Yeah, probably. He's probably in double digits.
[00:50:47] Speaker B: Yeah. As many as us, at least.
[00:50:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:50:50] Speaker C: He might be in the hundreds even.
Yeah. But anyways, some. Sometime between 2010 and 2018, that is when he lost his hair.
[00:50:59] Speaker A: He seems to have just shaved it.
[00:51:01] Speaker C: Yeah, he's good. He says he started going bald. He decided just to. Yeah, just get rid of the whole thing.
[00:51:06] Speaker A: I don't think I ever knew him with hair or knew of him with hair. I mean, I was, you know, not paying attention, I guess, but I've only known him hairless. So to. To turn this on and to see this guy who come out with this big head of hair, but he was receding in it. Yeah, I guess. Yeah.
Slap head.
[00:51:22] Speaker B: Ish.
No, he said high hairline.
[00:51:25] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I have a high hairline, but I'm not losing any.
Everyone's been since I've been in high school. People like, you're going bald. I was like, I'm not. I have this high hairline. Maybe I have a slap head.
[00:51:39] Speaker C: Do I have a slap head?
[00:51:42] Speaker B: No, I mean, you're a little bit.
[00:51:44] Speaker A: See how I got like this forever?
[00:51:47] Speaker C: It looks. Yeah, just natural. Looks like it's like a creamer.
[00:51:50] Speaker B: You should go, Jim Jarmusch. That's a good haircut.
[00:51:53] Speaker A: Big pompadour.
[00:51:54] Speaker B: Big, good haircut for an older man who's still got all his own hair.
[00:51:58] Speaker A: Yeah. All right. I love Jim Jarmusch. Yeah, well, I like him better with hair. Bill Burr.
I don't like looking at his bald head.
Okay. Bill Burr 2010 Let it go is the name of this special. How did this premiere on hbo? Why did you pick this?
[00:52:22] Speaker C: I picked this because it was the first Bill Burr special I'd ever seen. I didn't like Bill Burr when I first heard of him. I started watching his act. I thought, this guy.
[00:52:30] Speaker A: You didn't like the screaming?
[00:52:31] Speaker C: I thought, yeah. Low hanging fruit, Come on. You know, a friend of mine told me, no, you gotta give him another shot. Watch this special. And it's probably like, this is in like2017.
[00:52:41] Speaker A: Yeah. Was this his first big special?
[00:52:43] Speaker C: I think it must have been. I said, fine, I'll give another shot. And sure enough. Yeah.
There's a reason I recommended it's because I liked it.
Yeah. That's why I picked it.
[00:52:55] Speaker A: Okay, so you are an on the record fan of Bill Burr.
[00:52:59] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:53:00] Speaker A: Mark had never even heard heard of him or he'd heard of him not seen his act?
I. I don't. You know, now that we talk about, I don't know that I really ever saw his act. Like sat through a special, maybe I did, but I saw that movie he came out with a couple years ago about being a dad. I can't remember what it was called.
[00:53:17] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, the dad's movie.
[00:53:19] Speaker A: That was.
[00:53:19] Speaker C: What was it?
[00:53:19] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:53:20] Speaker C: Nate Craig was.
[00:53:21] Speaker A: Nate was in that? Yeah. Was he? He had a little partner.
[00:53:24] Speaker B: I only ever saw him in that weird Netflix thing.
[00:53:27] Speaker C: So is his friend Joe Bartnik, who will be here at The Lincoln Lodge May 1st.
[00:53:32] Speaker A: Joe Bartnik?
[00:53:33] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:53:33] Speaker A: He's big. Yeah, let's get him in. What do you know? You know Joe Bartnik?
[00:53:38] Speaker B: No. Never heard of him.
[00:53:39] Speaker A: Jesus Christ.
I think there's another guy running a comedy club.
I know it's not a comedy club that knows less about comedy than you.
I mean, you know all that British stuff from 70s, but.
[00:53:55] Speaker B: I don't need to know about comedy, dude. What I need to know about is fixing toilets, how to get cleaning carpets.
[00:54:02] Speaker A: Yeah, that's all you need to know.
[00:54:03] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:54:04] Speaker A: Let the youth run it.
[00:54:05] Speaker B: A youth of today.
[00:54:06] Speaker A: Youth of today.
All right, so this special starts. I don't want to go through all those bits. I don't think you do either. But I. I love the. The couple bits he comes out with right off the bat about the Egg McMuffin lady.
[00:54:17] Speaker C: Yeah, it's great.
[00:54:18] Speaker B: See, that was weak.
[00:54:20] Speaker A: Really?
The lady. Three Egg McMuffins.
[00:54:24] Speaker B: Yes. Just going, hey, I saw a fat slob today. Isn't that funny?
[00:54:28] Speaker A: The way he said it was funny?
[00:54:30] Speaker C: Wiping the mouth with the bag.
Yeah.
[00:54:32] Speaker A: Have you ever seen like. No, it's not about that. It's about when you're somewhere in airport or whatever and you just are disgusted
[00:54:38] Speaker C: by people staring at somebody.
[00:54:40] Speaker A: Right.
[00:54:41] Speaker C: Disgusting.
[00:54:41] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:54:42] Speaker A: You're looking at my greasy hair as if you're disgusted by me.
[00:54:44] Speaker B: No, give me.
You got to bring something to it.
Just going, I saw a fat slob today. Being fat and slobbish is not bringing anything to the table.
[00:54:55] Speaker A: He didn't say that, General. He's very specific. This woman was eating three egg McMuffins.
That's disgusting.
[00:55:03] Speaker B: Yeah, so what?
[00:55:04] Speaker A: Well, it's a good observation, Christian, and I like it.
[00:55:08] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:55:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:55:08] Speaker C: Because the bag's not a napkin. Like a pelican.
[00:55:10] Speaker A: She's eating a rat.
[00:55:11] Speaker D: Rat.
[00:55:11] Speaker A: Rat.
[00:55:12] Speaker D: Rat.
[00:55:12] Speaker B: I might never have seen someone eat three egg moats muffins. Now that reality is brought home to me, it's probably a one Big round of applause.
[00:55:21] Speaker A: He just thought of her eating.
[00:55:22] Speaker B: It was weak.
[00:55:23] Speaker A: Okay, what about the. The. The fat guy with scratching his back against the pole like a grizzly bear?
[00:55:28] Speaker B: I got to the grizzly bear punchline before he said it. I knew he was going there.
This was a very. To me, patchy.
Sometimes I was like, yes, this is good. And then other times I was like, this is weak.
[00:55:44] Speaker A: Is this a special that put him on the map? What put this fella on the map?
Was it something else? Was he. I feel like he was. He's 41 in 2010, so he's.
[00:55:53] Speaker C: He was.
[00:55:53] Speaker A: He was 7 now.
[00:55:54] Speaker B: I think he leaned into social media really fast, right?
[00:55:58] Speaker C: Oh, I don't think he didn't have Instagram for the longest time. I don't. Yeah, he. He wasn't really a big social media guy until recently.
His podcast is big, but I think it was because he kind of, like, ran with a circle of comics that all became famous, too. Like, he was with Patrice o'. Neill.
[00:56:17] Speaker A: That's interesting because they're similar.
[00:56:19] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:56:19] Speaker B: He's another Southie, isn't he?
[00:56:21] Speaker A: I think he is from Boston. Yeah.
[00:56:22] Speaker C: He was from this whole class of comics in New York that really started to make it big when that scene was starting to heat up again. And then they all moved out to LA and became famous and he was just kind of, you know, working the craft. Right day, right. Right place.
[00:56:35] Speaker B: I assume with a misogyny. He has a huge Rogan crossover.
[00:56:39] Speaker A: He.
[00:56:41] Speaker C: The thing about that, though, is that it's def. It's. It's all an act, you know, I mean, it's. Maybe that might be obvious already, but if you listen, when I first saw this special, I thought, okay, that's what this guy is. That's who this person is.
But if you listen to his podcast, he's actually got a lot of really good people write him for relationship advice a lot. And he's got good advice. He definitely doesn't come from an angle of misogyny.
[00:57:06] Speaker B: I watched this with Heather and a couple of times I thought, she's going to storm out.
And she liked this more than I did. Yeah, I kept saying, shall I just pause it and watch the rest of it tomorrow morning so you don't have to sit through it? And she's like, no, I like it.
Which blew my mind.
[00:57:25] Speaker C: I think he's got a way of putting himself down along the way. You know, he's proving that, yes, he has these are opinions, but these are the wrong opinions.
[00:57:31] Speaker A: So here's the Thing. And this. This is what I had thought about Patrice and o' Neill a lot. And that's interesting that they were.
They were buddies.
So they must be. He must be from Boston, right? Because Patricia from Boston, the way he goes at women, similar to Patrice o', Neill, and the way he did it, like, early on, and women are always patting themselves on the back. They got the hardest job in the world, right? Like that I wrote down. We should be making fun of women, right? Like, there is no reason for a man comedian to not be making fun of women. But we don't, right? Because we're afraid to offend them or whatever he says, you know, we go along with it because we want to fuck them. Right? Which is funny. It's a funny bit. Right. But, like, this is where. This is where we've gone wrong. Like in 2010, we could make fun of women. Why not?
We can't make fun of another gender now. That's ridiculous. Right. Women can make fun of men, I assume, Right. Why can't we make fun of women?
They're a protected class. There's too many protected classes that it's. We've kind of just lost the sight of the forest for the trees here. And I think it's amazing how he makes fun of them for, you know, saying they have the hardest job on the planet. We appreciate women. We can. We can appreciate them, but also make fun of that, right? Like, there are harder jobs.
[00:58:51] Speaker B: Yeah, that was a good bit then.
[00:58:52] Speaker A: It's a great bit then, you know, you're in your pajamas all day, right.
Putting DVDs on, right?
He's, you know, he's minimizing what. What motherhood is. But I think that's why she laughs at that, right, Heather? Because he's. He nailed it. You can make fun of people and it'd be. Right, Right. And do you think other women would be offended by this?
[00:59:18] Speaker B: Probably not, no. A female comedian might take issue.
[00:59:24] Speaker A: Really?
[00:59:24] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:59:25] Speaker C: Why do you think that is?
[00:59:27] Speaker B: Because they'd say, well, that's, you know, that's off limits. You can't do that.
[00:59:32] Speaker C: I. I thought.
[00:59:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:59:34] Speaker C: I feel like female comedians would be more prone to think.
[00:59:38] Speaker B: No, I'm saying all of them. There's a band, shall we say, of female comedians.
[00:59:45] Speaker C: Sure, yeah. I guess you're always gonna have somebody shooting something down you.
[00:59:49] Speaker B: I bet you if we went and asked 10 female comedians, what do you think of Bill Burr? There would be a range of.
[00:59:56] Speaker A: You can not like his comedy, right? Because some of the angry act and the barking all things that wears. Yeah, right.
[01:00:04] Speaker C: Yeah. It gets old.
[01:00:04] Speaker B: Yeah. When I saw there was an hour and five minutes of this,
[01:00:10] Speaker C: I didn't set the time.
[01:00:12] Speaker A: You didn't.
But bring to me. They could bring to me whoever the comedian is, man or female, that thinks that this is offensive is. Get the fuck out of here. Come on. Where are we in a society right now if we can't make fun of, you know, the opposite gender? Right, right.
[01:00:30] Speaker C: These are jokes.
[01:00:31] Speaker A: These are jokes.
Make fun of women. Make fun of. He's really making fun of mothers.
[01:00:36] Speaker C: Make fun of anybody.
[01:00:37] Speaker A: But here we are, we start the show and you immediately label him a misogynist.
Shame on you.
Right, Mark? You heard it here. Mark Geary said, bill Burr is a misogynist, owner of the Lincoln Lodge.
[01:00:55] Speaker C: This is gonna be our best.
[01:00:56] Speaker B: I didn't say he was. I said his material.
[01:00:59] Speaker A: Yeah, but see, to me, it doesn't. And neither did Patrice o'.
[01:01:01] Speaker B: Neill. I gotta be honest. I don't even care if he is, like I say, my opinion. We forgot to do the disclaimer. You never wrote the disclaimer, did you?
[01:01:10] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I forgot. I was supposed to write it. Yeah, you were gonna write it. I was gonna read it.
[01:01:16] Speaker B: Here's my comment I was gonna read. Here's my commonality with Bill Burr. Everything I say is.
And my opinions don't matter.
[01:01:25] Speaker A: Yeah, that's your disclaimer.
[01:01:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:01:27] Speaker A: Yeah, we know that. You know, that goes without saying.
[01:01:31] Speaker B: Everything I say. Well, not everything I say is, you know, talking about hot cross bonds.
[01:01:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:01:37] Speaker B: That's fact.
Up to the bollocks.
[01:01:40] Speaker C: In fact, around with hot cross buns.
[01:01:44] Speaker A: This special is dated. I wouldn't call them massages, but this is kind of dated in the way some of the language he uses. Yeah, he uses the F word.
[01:01:52] Speaker C: Right. I was surprised by that.
[01:01:54] Speaker A: Well, but again, I thought that was completely funny because at the time, like it or not, that's what men would say to each other all the time.
[01:02:03] Speaker C: Yeah, right.
[01:02:04] Speaker A: Like we didn't know any better. But we did. That's what we did. So.
[01:02:08] Speaker B: Well, his Wikipedia page says that he has often got in hot water with people.
And again, another commonality with Mark Gehry. So we're more in common than backpedaling, but go ahead. No, no, I'm not backpedaling.
One of the things he said is this whole emphasis on what we say is just papering over the cracks of what we do and what we feel.
[01:02:34] Speaker A: Right.
[01:02:34] Speaker B: And everyone just gets bogged down in the what we say, the words, rather than well, who is this person? Is this person?
Does this person just happen to like bandying this word around?
But they're not genuinely homophobic or whatever. And I strongly agree with him on that. When you remove all the context, you just. It's bollocks what you think of people.
[01:03:00] Speaker A: Yeah. And if you look at the, like that whole bit about, you know, anything he does that's at all sensitive or thoughtful or whatever, he's branded by his friends as a fag. Right.
[01:03:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:03:12] Speaker A: If you look at what he's saying, though, Bill said that I said the word. But I'm just saying what he said.
What he's saying is like, these are all good qualities you get labeled a negative word for. Right. Like, and men should. Should be more like this. And he would like to be more sensitive and thoughtful and all these things, but he has to fight. He has to live in a world where he has to fight against that. Right. So the message is actually really good. Yeah, he's. He's.
He's triumphing the qualities of, of sensitive men or women. But says, you know, it's in a world, it's not appreciated.
[01:03:47] Speaker B: Yep.
[01:03:48] Speaker A: Or in his world. Right.
[01:03:49] Speaker C: Yep.
[01:03:50] Speaker B: But.
[01:03:52] Speaker A: But you can't say the word
[01:03:55] Speaker B: right, because you're gonna die on that hill.
[01:03:57] Speaker A: You're gonna die on that hill as.
Who was it?
Well, Toby Bryant. He did. I guess he actually did die, but that's not what I meant.
[01:04:07] Speaker B: He did die on a hill.
[01:04:08] Speaker A: Yeah, he did. Yeah, that's not what I meant. But he also used this word quite a bit and was excoriated for it.
[01:04:18] Speaker C: I wasn't aware.
[01:04:20] Speaker B: But to me, you know, I've been. I'm more on the side of the debate. It's like, quit getting bogged down in the words they use in. And look at the person. Right.
And then obviously the, the counter to that debate is, no, you can't. It's not that simple. Not everyone has your breadth of, you know, being able to see the context and everything. What if it's a kid listening and that kid picks it up and that's the counter argument, which I don't think is ever going to resolve.
[01:04:49] Speaker A: No, probably not.
You're probably right.
Yeah.
[01:04:54] Speaker B: Because then it spirals, Right. If, let's say you sat down with a young kid and watch this, the kid's gonna go out going, that's okay for me to bandy that around. And then they're in the playground and blah, blah, blah. So I think the people who say, well, you've still gotta look, you know, still Gonna use it.
That's what they're saying.
It's an unwinnable war.
[01:05:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:05:17] Speaker B: Both sides.
[01:05:21] Speaker A: What do you think, Stone guy?
[01:05:22] Speaker C: I think. What about, you know, that's why they have ratings, you know, like R. PG 13, you know, shouldn't show that to a kid.
[01:05:29] Speaker B: Ratings don't count for anything, though.
[01:05:31] Speaker C: Yeah, but. But in this world that you're presenting, if you sat down and watch this with a kid. Yeah. That kid might go out and say these same words. So don't sit down and watch this with a kid.
[01:05:40] Speaker B: You're not gonna stop a kid watching this special. It's on YouTube.
[01:05:44] Speaker C: Sure, but your scenario, you were sitting down with the kid, showing him this is okay to say. Sure, a kid might find it on their own, but that's not the scenario.
[01:05:53] Speaker A: But I don't think he's in any way saying this is okay to say. I think he's saying quite the opposite.
He's saying the word, and maybe he's normalizing the saying of the word, but he's not saying it's okay to say it.
Right.
[01:06:10] Speaker B: No, but I think what people are saying is that's. That's an intelligent person can see that, but not everyone is.
[01:06:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Certain words need to be removed from the vernacular.
[01:06:23] Speaker C: Some people wipe their face with the bag.
[01:06:27] Speaker A: True that.
True that. I also. That was. It was crazy kind of changing, you know what we're talking about? But that. He said he was talking about swine flu.
We need a plague, right? We need a plague that's in there, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:06:43] Speaker B: You got one.
[01:06:44] Speaker A: Yeah, you got one. You got one. That's right.
[01:06:47] Speaker B: How many people did you know that died of COVID I never knew anyone.
[01:06:52] Speaker A: My aunt was one of the first to die.
[01:06:54] Speaker C: Really?
[01:06:55] Speaker B: Oh, well, you worked in the. In the service industry, so you probably knew ton of people, right? Oh, no, I never knew nobody that
[01:07:03] Speaker C: passed from the disease. Tons of people that got it, but nobody that I knew passed from it.
[01:07:08] Speaker B: I knew people second, third away from me.
[01:07:13] Speaker C: Well, yeah, I think. I think.
[01:07:15] Speaker A: Here's the thing. Maybe here's the thing. I. I said my aunt died of COVID and technically she did. She was early, like in the first month of COVID And then towards the end, long after was kind of, we're back to normal, sort of. My father died of COVID Right.
But what they did, and this, I think the numbers got so high and it was so alarming is anyone that died. We all pretty much had Covid at one point or another. Whether we were suffering from it then or we had had it weeks before, months, years before. When you, when you do the blood work, Covid's in your system. Right. And so my dad fell down and he was 88 and dimension the whole thing. Right. And send them into a thing, a cardiac or not cardiac, respiratory thing. But then they. But on the death certificate, what, he died from COVID Huh? Because Covid was in his system. He didn't even have it at the time, but he added months before. So they just, they, they.
They attributed Covid to so many deaths of old people.
[01:08:14] Speaker C: Yeah, right.
[01:08:15] Speaker A: Why they did that, I don't know.
[01:08:16] Speaker C: I mean, wasn't it that they were getting more money? If you said more people died of COVID they would get more funding for the hospital, something.
[01:08:23] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what all the COVID deniers and right wingers were saying.
Yeah. They kept saying, oh, these numbers are just trumped up. But.
[01:08:30] Speaker A: Right. Because who do you hear of dying of COVID now? Nobody. Right. Like. I don't know. But it's still around, right?
Yeah. It's a weird. I'm sure there's a lot more to it than. Than we know.
Well, this is one of the. I said last week I'm going to watch a special. I watched this last night after work. I ate a tombstone pizza.
[01:08:49] Speaker C: Oh, late again, huh?
[01:08:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:08:51] Speaker C: Is that why you had to leave earlier?
[01:08:53] Speaker A: No, I just had to pee.
But I did it anyway.
[01:08:57] Speaker C: Both disappointed.
[01:08:58] Speaker A: You wanted to know.
And I watched it late and I was kind of falling asleep, but this is the first one where I didn't feel the need to write everything down.
And.
[01:09:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Blank piece of paper.
[01:09:11] Speaker A: I got a lot of. This is. This is bare for me.
[01:09:13] Speaker C: Let me see those drawings.
[01:09:14] Speaker A: I just did the bald and the hair.
But I just try to enjoy it more. Right. You know, like putting the pen down and just enjoying it. And I find I found myself really laughing more.
[01:09:26] Speaker C: It's exactly what I did.
[01:09:27] Speaker A: You did?
[01:09:28] Speaker C: I watched, I think Sunday night. Yeah. I got back and I was just like, you know, watch something. You know, I'm going to watch that special.
[01:09:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:09:33] Speaker C: And no pressure. I wasn't like trying to get it on time, you know. Yeah. I just watched it like a normal thing to do.
[01:09:39] Speaker A: Yeah. We're taking this job here. Too serious.
[01:09:41] Speaker C: Too seriously.
[01:09:42] Speaker A: Like, we're accountants here.
[01:09:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:09:44] Speaker A: You know, doing tax returns.
[01:09:48] Speaker B: We're building and destroying careers with our words.
[01:09:51] Speaker C: I know
[01:09:54] Speaker B: it. Seriously, we could wipe a comedian off the map with just our three thumbs down.
[01:10:00] Speaker A: That's a big meaning to do it.
[01:10:01] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:10:02] Speaker A: Yeah. That's a big responsibility.
Did I send you guys the.
I don't know if I did. I sent the Siskel and Ebert review of City Heat.
When they review City Heats, it's a Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood media vehicle. When it's a. They rip it to shreds. It's great. I'll send it to you.
[01:10:23] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:10:24] Speaker A: To get you ready for this.
All right, well, let's turn to the balcony portion of the show where we review today's comedian Bill Burr. Unless you have anything else you want to add about his. Any of his bits.
[01:10:36] Speaker B: I just. I mean, obviously the screeching is annoying. Too much leaning. Leaning on the mic stand was. Yeah, that was very 90s.
[01:10:45] Speaker A: I noted that, too. I didn't. I don't remember anyone leaning on the mic stand like he's leaning on a counter.
[01:10:50] Speaker B: No, that was commonplace.
[01:10:51] Speaker C: It was.
[01:10:52] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[01:10:52] Speaker A: Does he scream as much now in his act? Because I haven't seen a recent special. I feel like he's got to tamp that down.
[01:10:58] Speaker C: Yeah, he's. He's. He's calmed it down a lot, but every once in a while. But I feel like whenever he does, it's kind of his weaker stuff.
[01:11:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:11:06] Speaker C: You know, he needs it.
I. I don't think so. I don't think he does.
[01:11:10] Speaker A: Oh, when he screams it.
[01:11:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:11:11] Speaker A: Right.
[01:11:13] Speaker B: Some rando stuff. The one, the woman slash gay man. Interchangeable voice. Way too much usage of that.
[01:11:21] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:11:22] Speaker B: Kept doing his wife's dialogue.
Both the producer and director of the special were women.
[01:11:29] Speaker A: Yes, I know. I did notice that as well.
[01:11:31] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:11:31] Speaker A: I like. How about the. I like the. I don't know what kind of budget here he was dealing with or where it premiered. Right. Whether it was HBO or not. But that title sequence or that opening sequence.
[01:11:41] Speaker B: Cheesy, though.
[01:11:42] Speaker A: Yeah. But I mean, it was at a little panache. A little panache.
[01:11:46] Speaker B: Right.
[01:11:46] Speaker A: Where like the name of the producers on the mailbox. Somebody's name is on the coffee cup. I know they've done that before and other things, but. Yeah. In film.
[01:11:54] Speaker B: But I watched the film the other day where they did that. The Coen Brothers lesbian thing.
Honey, don't. Oh, yeah, they did that with all. With all the stuff.
[01:12:05] Speaker A: I took my 12 year old to see that. Jesus. Filthy.
I had to cover his eyes.
[01:12:10] Speaker C: The whole movie.
[01:12:13] Speaker A: X rated. I don't remember Coen brothers being that dirty, but.
[01:12:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, there's only one Cohen brother, maybe.
[01:12:19] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. The other one was like.
[01:12:21] Speaker B: Tamps him down.
[01:12:22] Speaker A: Yeah. No, was the angel on the shoulder left the building.
[01:12:26] Speaker B: You can't have shagging in every single.
[01:12:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Wasn't there a lot of shagging?
[01:12:30] Speaker B: That was a lot.
[01:12:31] Speaker A: Was that Margot? Was that Margaret Qualley? Was she nude in that a lot? There was a lot of shagging, but I don't remember her.
I mean, my wife will give me shit about this.
Give me.
Would she give me. About the last one where I was. We were talking about. When we were talking about work and, like, being distracted at work.
[01:12:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:12:54] Speaker C: Right.
[01:12:54] Speaker A: And I was like, yeah, you get distract, you know, because you were talking about not wanting to go in the office.
I go. Because you get distracted by the ladies walking around or whatever. And she's like, I know that's you. You get distracted.
Can't say anything on her.
The only other bit that I.
I loved was the toddler. When he talks about the toddler, you know, he's like, how baby's got the belly and the hairs. Almost cereal in his hair. He's like, what a great guy a toddler is.
[01:13:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:13:20] Speaker A: That's funny.
[01:13:21] Speaker C: How about the self checkout bit?
[01:13:24] Speaker A: Pretty good.
[01:13:25] Speaker C: That's one that got me the first time I watched.
[01:13:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:13:27] Speaker C: Years ago.
[01:13:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:13:28] Speaker B: That turned it around.
[01:13:29] Speaker A: Sleeping. Yeah.
I feel like many people have done that bit.
[01:13:34] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh. By now, for sure. Yeah. That was the first one I. He was the first one I heard do it.
[01:13:38] Speaker A: Yeah. I like his writing better than I like his delivery.
[01:13:42] Speaker B: Right.
Do you.
Oh, another rando. One of the funniest things ever. And it seems amazing to me that I would find it funny. Now I think about that I'd never seen Bill Burr. Was a comedian in Chicago. Did Bill her cat comedian. Oh, really? Yeah. I'll send you the link. And he came out on stage and he's just talking about being a cat, like, so I was licking my balls.
But he did it in like a Bill Burr thing, but with like, cat. It was effing hilarious crowd. It was only like three or four minutes, but it was Bill per comedian by. It was Junior and he came on with. With cat.
[01:14:26] Speaker A: Junior. Junior. Stop.
[01:14:27] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, he did it. Yeah. Yeah. He's got a Bill burb impression really down.
[01:14:32] Speaker A: Wow.
[01:14:33] Speaker B: And it was.
I'd never even seen Bill Burr, so what the hell.
[01:14:37] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:14:37] Speaker A: I was gonna say you didn't have a point of reference here, I guess,
[01:14:39] Speaker B: but I guess it was the cat stuff.
[01:14:40] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:14:41] Speaker B: You know, cat humor. Oh, my God. That was.
It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Yeah.
[01:14:46] Speaker A: And ironically, he does all this dog humor to end it with. Right. Those are Some good bits, too, right?
[01:14:53] Speaker B: How?
[01:14:53] Speaker A: The abusing of the dog.
Okay, well, I don't. This is one of those times where I don't think I know at least what Mark's gonna say, whether he's gonna review them. This. This fellow highly or not.
What do we want to do for a rating scale? McMuffins.
[01:15:13] Speaker C: Yeah. Let's do McMuffins.
[01:15:15] Speaker A: McMuffins. How many McMuffins would.
[01:15:18] Speaker B: McMuffins are bad for you, then?
[01:15:21] Speaker C: But they're delicious.
[01:15:23] Speaker B: The more McMuffins, the worse it was.
[01:15:25] Speaker A: In this case, it's better.
[01:15:27] Speaker C: Yeah. Better to have more McMuffins.
[01:15:30] Speaker A: Right. So four out of four McMuffins. No, let's do three, because the lady eats three McMuffins. Three is the best.
[01:15:37] Speaker B: Yeah. There's not enough granularity in three.
[01:15:40] Speaker C: How about three and the bag?
[01:15:42] Speaker A: Three in the bag. Yeah, three in the bag. If you give it the bag, then that's your highest rating.
[01:15:47] Speaker C: Yeah, that's perfect score.
[01:15:49] Speaker B: So three in the bag. Three bag.
[01:15:50] Speaker A: Three. Three in the bag.
[01:15:52] Speaker C: Yep.
[01:15:52] Speaker A: Three in the bag. Okay, who wants to go first?
Chris.
[01:15:57] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, I'll do it. I don't care.
Yeah, I mean, obviously I like it. That's why I picked it. This is what got me listening to Bill Burr way back in the day.
Of course, my comedy sensibility or my. My taste was different back then, you
[01:16:10] Speaker A: know, You're a misogynist back then.
[01:16:12] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, 100%. Yep. Yep. So I wanted to see if that. I guess I've solved some of my misogyny over the years, so some of it didn't appeal to me as much as it used to. However, listening to his podcast, it was very interesting to me to hear him talk about his girlfriend, which has since become his wife.
[01:16:30] Speaker A: Same girlfriend.
[01:16:30] Speaker C: Yeah. Been on the podcast here. I'm talking about getting the dog, which he eventually had to put down when they had a baby because the dog was too dangerous around the baby. And I didn't know that it was her idea to get the dog to begin with. I always thought he had the dog and then met her, you know, like, the dog came with the. Yeah, well, he was a package deal with the dog into the relationship, but it was vice versa, so it was a learning experience.
I'll give it three egg McMuffins.
[01:16:57] Speaker A: Three egg McMuffins. Not the bag.
[01:16:59] Speaker C: Not the bag.
[01:17:00] Speaker A: Does he have kids now?
He has two kids, yeah. Yeah.
[01:17:03] Speaker B: Wait, so they had a kid.
They didn't attempt to get the dog adopted?
Take.
[01:17:10] Speaker C: Oh, oh, they're just like, no, sorry, you're right.
No. The dog did go to an adoption agency, and then I think eventually he found out that the dog had to be put down.
[01:17:22] Speaker A: Wait, wait, I missed that. I wasn't.
[01:17:24] Speaker C: I didn't hear old age.
[01:17:25] Speaker A: They got rid of the dog because they had a kid.
[01:17:27] Speaker C: Got rid of the dog because they had a kid, because they thought the
[01:17:29] Speaker A: dog was gonna hurt the kid.
[01:17:30] Speaker C: Because the dog would, like, growl and, like, get like. Yeah, it was. It was a dangerous dog around the kid. He's got a bit. I got confused because he's got a bit where he talks like he's gonna have the dog put down, but he didn't. You're right. He. Well, I mean, by accident. You're right. He.
He had it adopted, then he would go visit it every once in a while. But then, you know.
[01:17:50] Speaker A: All right, that's hard. That's.
[01:17:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:17:54] Speaker A: Okay, so three. No bag.
You want to go next?
[01:18:00] Speaker B: Two.
[01:18:00] Speaker A: Two.
Nothing else to add? Just two. So you hadn't seen this guy. He's a mega comedy star now. Driving force and comedy.
Carrying Nate Craig around with him.
Only two for this special.
[01:18:17] Speaker B: For this special.
Maybe I'll go up if you. I see more of him, but.
[01:18:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Do you want to see more of him?
Would you like to see his newest work?
I. I do, because I feel like he'd be better now. I think what I've seen, I think he. I don't know.
[01:18:32] Speaker B: I have the better time. I don't have the time. I mean, there's still. How many mega stars have come. I've never seen Kevin Hart. I've never seen.
I mean, I'm struggling tonight. You know what I mean? Like, I just stand all the time. It's like, yeah, like, are you. One time I got into the books of Graham Green and I thought, oh, I'm going to keep reading Graham Green now.
It's no time. I got to get to the next author. I've only never read. Yeah, same thing.
[01:18:59] Speaker A: Okay, well, maybe if you have time and you're busy, busy, full life that you have.
[01:19:03] Speaker B: Yep.
[01:19:05] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:19:05] Speaker B: Two.
[01:19:05] Speaker A: We got a two. We got a three.
Man, this is a tough one for me.
I liked it. I laughed. I thought some of these bits were great. I didn't like all the yelling, you know? You know, I don't like a yelling comedian.
[01:19:17] Speaker B: It puts me off the Pepitone.
[01:19:19] Speaker A: The Pepitone syndrome. He's yelling a lot at me.
And I did Peter off at the end. I was dozing in the late hours. I Did I did see the final bit?
I'm gonna give two and a half egg McMuffins.
Can I give a half a McMuffin?
[01:19:39] Speaker C: Why not the top half or the bottom half? The egg or the.
[01:19:43] Speaker A: The egg. The egg. I'll give it two and a half.
And I do want to see more Bill Burr. I think he's a smart comedian.
I think he's one of the best out there today, probably.
So I want to see more, and I have time for it, despite my full life.
Well, hopefully you'll have time next week for our next comedian on the rostrum.
[01:20:04] Speaker B: So this is where we're gonna grab the young market by picking a newer comedian in a later special.
[01:20:12] Speaker A: Well, it is a newer comedian. And in honor of our.
Despite some members of our panel not supporting Jewish art, I'm choosing Ari Schaefer.
[01:20:29] Speaker C: All right, Jew.
[01:20:31] Speaker A: That's the name of the Special. Ari Schaefer. Jewel 2022.
[01:20:36] Speaker B: I just thought you were qualifying.
[01:20:38] Speaker A: No, no.
He is Jewish, I believe.
I've not seen his act. Have you heard of Ari Schaefer?
[01:20:45] Speaker C: I have heard. Yep.
[01:20:46] Speaker A: Okay. He's Ari Shaffer. The name of the special is called Jew, which is pretty great. He's winning me over already.
2022, full special on YouTube.
You can listen to it or watch it before our show next week.
[01:21:02] Speaker B: So the only time we come in is when I pick them. Is. Is the message.
[01:21:07] Speaker A: Oh, I believe a few. A few episodes ago, I picked Leanne Morgan, did I not?
[01:21:13] Speaker B: And I was under duress. Yeah.
[01:21:15] Speaker A: No, I wonder. I love Leanne Morgan.
Yeah, well, all right. You raise an interesting point. We'll take that into consideration.
But it's important we tell people where they can find the special each week before we. Before we review it. YouTube.
[01:21:32] Speaker B: You got 50 minutes to hit the Wrigley.
[01:21:35] Speaker A: Yep. I'll see you over there at the ballpark. Put on your booties.
[01:21:38] Speaker C: All right. Go Cubs.
[01:21:39] Speaker A: Sold out. There.
Nice.
