[00:00:16] Speaker A: I call it I'm sweet and sour. [00:00:17] Speaker B: No, no, I'm sweet and sour. I'm sweet and sour. Me. [00:00:21] Speaker C: You are? [00:00:22] Speaker A: What are you right now? [00:00:23] Speaker B: Make sure you get the right side. [00:00:24] Speaker A: Yeah, you never know what you're gonna get. I think it's called bipolar disorder. That's the new term. [00:00:29] Speaker B: No, I call it sweet and sour disease. [00:00:32] Speaker A: Sweet and sour disease. I think it's called bipolar or borderline. I'm not sure. Whatever you want to call it. Sweet and sour disease. It's more. It's a kinder diagnosis, I suppose. Well, you seem sour. When I first encountered you with your head up in the rafters of the building, swearing, sweating, cursing. You didn't use your favorite curse word that I heard you holding back on. [00:01:01] Speaker B: I'm holding back off it. [00:01:02] Speaker A: Yeah. You're retiring it. [00:01:04] Speaker B: I'm trying to. [00:01:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. I like it when you say it, though. It's fun. [00:01:11] Speaker B: My dad used to say you. [00:01:13] Speaker A: You used to say it. [00:01:14] Speaker B: No, no, no. He. Oh, my God. If. If I said that in front of my. [00:01:17] Speaker A: Oh, he'd be mad. Oh, that's a different dude. [00:01:19] Speaker B: I'd be sleeping in the garage. It's not so much that. I know I've mentioned. God, this is going to be the week of. I know I said this before. My dad always said to me, when you swear, they'll know you working class, and when they know you're working class, you'll get working class. And so, you know. And when you. You know, you're young, right? So you're full of. I know better, blah, blah. And so he would just look at me like. You're born to lose, dude. [00:01:50] Speaker A: Yeah. So he kept it clean. [00:01:52] Speaker B: Yep. [00:01:53] Speaker A: Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have thought that, not knowing your old name, but knowing you, I would have thought he'd be an ornery cuss. [00:02:01] Speaker B: Ornery, yeah. [00:02:02] Speaker C: But he's ornery. [00:02:02] Speaker B: But very, very strict rules, vis a vis language. [00:02:07] Speaker A: Vis a vis a vis. [00:02:10] Speaker B: What was your old man like? [00:02:12] Speaker A: Oh, he could really lay into you. [00:02:15] Speaker B: Didn't he used to go see. [00:02:16] Speaker A: Cut you down to size? [00:02:17] Speaker B: Did he go to see Dice Clay together? [00:02:20] Speaker A: He loved Dice Clay, but I never saw him live with my father. But my father used to watch Dice Clay, and I couldn't breathe. He'd be laughing so hard. It tells you everything you need to know about the man. A man who loves Andrew Dice Clay is all you need to know. I carry the Memory of my father with me everywhere I go. Yep. In the form of these glasses. These are my dead father's glasses. Those readers? [00:02:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:48] Speaker A: Is that. Is that creepy? To wear your dead father's reading glasses? [00:02:52] Speaker C: No. [00:02:52] Speaker A: No, I don't think so. [00:02:56] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, it's better than. What, are you gonna throw them out? [00:02:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Right. Like, we were cleaning out his belongings, and I was like, well, I need these. I'll take these. I'll wear these. [00:03:05] Speaker C: Right. [00:03:05] Speaker A: You know, I'm also wearing the man's wedding ring. Although that's a whole story. Well, yeah, that's. [00:03:10] Speaker B: Now you get. [00:03:11] Speaker C: Yep. [00:03:12] Speaker A: He gave it to me when I got married, and I inscribed it for my wife. That's not weird. [00:03:16] Speaker C: That makes sense. [00:03:17] Speaker B: Walking into it. Walking into it. [00:03:19] Speaker A: Nope. How about this? Is this weird? It was Halloween the other day. I hope you had a good Halloween. I didn't dress up this year, but in the past years, I've dressed up as my dead mother. And is that weird? [00:03:34] Speaker C: That's pretty funny. [00:03:35] Speaker A: Like, I put on, like, her clothes and. Are you serious? Yeah. And I put, like, a. Like a small pillow in my front to replicate her gun. [00:03:43] Speaker C: No. [00:03:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:44] Speaker C: Do you really do this? [00:03:45] Speaker A: Yeah. And I walk around with a wig. [00:03:47] Speaker C: You don't. [00:03:48] Speaker A: And I did it right after she died. [00:03:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:51] Speaker A: It was my way of dealing with it. [00:03:53] Speaker C: Whatever. [00:03:53] Speaker A: It was Norman Bates, like, way. Right. [00:03:55] Speaker C: Exactly. [00:03:55] Speaker B: Did you go to the kid's bedroom and just kick the doors and. It's who I am. [00:04:01] Speaker A: I'm here. I kind of look like her, too. That's weird. Yeah. [00:04:05] Speaker B: You lie. I'm not. [00:04:08] Speaker C: I don't. I don't think he is. I don't think he's got a very honest look on his face. [00:04:12] Speaker A: I've dressed up for Halloween as my. My dead mother. Yes. Not this year. [00:04:18] Speaker B: That's good. [00:04:18] Speaker A: I have in the past. Did you guys dress up at all for Halloween? [00:04:21] Speaker C: No, not this year. [00:04:22] Speaker B: I actually cracked and finally did Halloween, though. [00:04:26] Speaker A: What do you mean you did? [00:04:27] Speaker B: My first Yank. [00:04:27] Speaker A: You went, trick or treat. [00:04:29] Speaker B: Halloween. No, no. Halloween is obviously some American. [00:04:33] Speaker A: Is it? [00:04:33] Speaker B: Yeah. And so we in England have Guy Fawkes Night shortly after it. So no one ever paid it. [00:04:40] Speaker A: Say what, Guy? [00:04:41] Speaker B: For not going through. [00:04:43] Speaker A: I don't. Well, you can't say we have Guy and then not explain. [00:04:47] Speaker C: You can't explain what your British bullshit. [00:04:48] Speaker A: Is while talking about our American holidays. [00:04:53] Speaker C: Yeah, let us shit on yours a little bit. [00:04:54] Speaker B: Guy Fawkes. Remember. Remember the 5th of November, you watch V for Vendetta? [00:05:01] Speaker A: I didn't see that. [00:05:01] Speaker B: Bullshit. [00:05:02] Speaker A: I Didn't see it. I'm familiar with the mask, though, from the film. Right, so that's Guy Fawkes in the mask. [00:05:09] Speaker B: Five minute Guy Fawkes. [00:05:11] Speaker A: All right, not five, maybe one minute. [00:05:13] Speaker B: Some point in some point in the past, treacherous Catholics were annoyed at the, the Catholic treatment King Charles was giving. [00:05:24] Speaker A: Understandable. [00:05:25] Speaker B: Hatched a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament by putting, you know, half a ton of gunpowder underneath the Houses of Parliament. [00:05:36] Speaker C: Okay. [00:05:37] Speaker B: And by a sheer fluke, they got caught. And the guy who actually got caught, you know, red handed was Guy Fawkes. Right. So they obviously. [00:05:47] Speaker A: Wait, how do you spell the last name? It sounds like Forks, like a fork you eat with. But I think it's. [00:05:52] Speaker B: Here's something I only found out two years ago. He was actually an Italian and his name is like Guy de Forche or something. [00:06:00] Speaker A: Okay. [00:06:00] Speaker B: Guy Fawkes is the Anglicization, so F A W K E S. Okay, so. [00:06:06] Speaker A: You thought he was saying Forks. [00:06:07] Speaker C: I thought he was saying Forks too, yeah. Fox, right? [00:06:10] Speaker B: Fox, fox, fox. So anyway, Guy Fawkes, there's a plot to blow the Houses of Parliament up with King Charles in it gets foiled. So they make, obviously make an example of them and say, hey, you can't be blowing the King in Parliament up, you treacherous Catholics. So Guy Fawkes Night. No. 5th of November, it's a huge tradition in England where you make a massive bonfire, you put an effigy of Guy Fawkes on top, set fire to it, and then you have a firework display in a general piss up slash beano afterwards. And it's very fun and it's a very big, you know, party like all our street would do. Guy Fawkes Night. [00:06:56] Speaker A: This thing seems like thumbing your nose. Is that the expression? Yeah, to the Catholics. Is that an American expression, Thumbing your nose at. [00:07:05] Speaker C: No. [00:07:05] Speaker A: Is that the right word? [00:07:06] Speaker B: Anyway, the Catholic part was lost. You know, Catholics of time. [00:07:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, so you don't care burning Guy Forks at the stake? Guy Forks was a Catholic. I'm not really leaning to the Forks. [00:07:20] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:20] Speaker A: So what, Guy Forks was a Catholic, right? [00:07:23] Speaker C: Is he. [00:07:23] Speaker A: Is this the whole plot from V for Vendetta? [00:07:25] Speaker B: No, V for Vendetta is like kind of the revival of the, of the spirit of Guy Fawkes that an evil government has taken charge. And. And V from V for Vendetta is going to take the government down. [00:07:41] Speaker A: I prefer the, the TV movie V. You ever see that? [00:07:46] Speaker C: No. [00:07:46] Speaker A: You know what I'm talking about. [00:07:47] Speaker B: That's good. [00:07:48] Speaker C: Yeah. What is it. [00:07:49] Speaker A: In the 80s, it was a miniseries on network television. V. And it was about these, I don't know, people that were. Look like people, but there were alien reptiles behind their skin. They'd like peel their skin back and like. [00:08:02] Speaker B: Oh, the big reveal was when she eats a hamster live. [00:08:06] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah. [00:08:08] Speaker C: Are they. Are some of them newscasters? [00:08:11] Speaker A: No, that's. [00:08:12] Speaker B: That's you're thinking of. [00:08:13] Speaker A: They live. [00:08:13] Speaker B: They Live. [00:08:14] Speaker A: Which I just watched the other night with my young son. [00:08:16] Speaker C: Really? [00:08:17] Speaker A: We both loved it. [00:08:18] Speaker B: You know What? For about 10 years, I had a VHS copy of that. I never really knew what it was. And then the guy died. [00:08:25] Speaker A: The wrestler Roddy Piper. [00:08:27] Speaker B: Everyone's wanking on about the film. And I was like, oh, I have that on on vhs. I'll watch it. [00:08:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:32] Speaker B: And it's really good. [00:08:33] Speaker A: It is good. [00:08:34] Speaker B: I could understand why it was a cult classic. [00:08:36] Speaker A: Yeah, it's really good. [00:08:37] Speaker C: I've never seen it. [00:08:38] Speaker A: John Carpenter, he made a little film. [00:08:40] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. [00:08:41] Speaker A: By the Name of Halloween. [00:08:43] Speaker C: Oh, yes, yes. [00:08:44] Speaker B: Escape from New York. [00:08:45] Speaker A: Escape from New York. [00:08:46] Speaker C: Yes. [00:08:46] Speaker A: The fog. Let's not go through all this movies. [00:08:48] Speaker C: But great, great synth sounds. [00:08:50] Speaker B: You know what else we do for Guy Fawkes? [00:08:52] Speaker A: Guy Forks. [00:08:53] Speaker B: A week, two weeks before the kids build the Guy. So you get old clothes and stuff on, you know. [00:08:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:00] Speaker A: Like a scarecrow. [00:09:01] Speaker B: And then you park up on the high street and you say to the passing toughs and. And wealthy people, penny for governor. And if you're lucky, they'll toss you. [00:09:12] Speaker A: Some money for having the bonfire or. [00:09:15] Speaker B: Whatever, and then you go blow it all on fireworks. [00:09:18] Speaker A: Yep. Oh, you have a beano, right? A big beano. So did they burn Guy Forks at the stake? [00:09:26] Speaker B: Possibly. You know, we've only got 45 minutes because of his incoming. Right. We're gonna have to be. [00:09:32] Speaker A: Who's next after this? [00:09:33] Speaker C: I've got the ladies of. Yeah. Podcast. It's a romantasy podcast. But they're not till 5:30. [00:09:40] Speaker B: I think we're gonna have to be focused though, right? [00:09:43] Speaker A: Nobody wants that. [00:09:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:45] Speaker A: We've got it. We want more Guy Forks. [00:09:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:47] Speaker A: I also want to hear the story of your only time having the Mary. The Mary Jane. When you. You ingested a homemade marijuana brownie on purpose. [00:10:00] Speaker C: Or was it. Was it a trick or did you find. [00:10:02] Speaker B: Well, it was semi, so. [00:10:04] Speaker C: Okay. [00:10:05] Speaker B: Are you sure I haven't said this. [00:10:06] Speaker A: I've never heard this. [00:10:07] Speaker C: News to me. [00:10:09] Speaker B: All right, so the only. I've had Mary Jane, bit of that tea, a little bit of that sweet Leaf. [00:10:14] Speaker C: There you go. [00:10:14] Speaker A: Yep. Little tea. [00:10:16] Speaker B: Twice, right? Oh, twice. So one time I was at a party with this Australian girl I know. We're sitting in the kitchen. J.B. jabber, Struth, mate, etc, and then a guy plops a pan of stuff straight out of the oven in front of us. And he looks as he goes, just so you know, that's weed brownie. [00:10:39] Speaker A: So you know, what year was this circle? What. [00:10:43] Speaker B: 96, maybe. [00:10:45] Speaker C: Wow. [00:10:47] Speaker B: So he goes, just so you know, that's weed brownie. I'm letting you know. Right. So we're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I've never had it anything whatsoever at this point. [00:10:58] Speaker A: Never in your life? [00:10:59] Speaker B: Never in my life. And the Aussie, she starts picking at it. And I go, what, does that get you? Ripped to the tits or what? You know? And she goes, you know, it just get you. Yeah, relax, you know? And I want to look cool. [00:11:11] Speaker A: This is a gal, this Aussie. [00:11:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:13] Speaker A: You trying to make time with her? [00:11:14] Speaker B: Actually, no, she was just a really good friend. So I want to look cool, though, right? [00:11:19] Speaker A: Yeah, sure. [00:11:19] Speaker B: So I start picking at it, she's picking at it, blah, blah, blah. This dude comes back maybe 20 minutes later, looks at the pan, looks at us and goes, did you two eat all of that? Because, you know, we. And we're like, yeah. And he goes, you're gonna be flying in about 10 minutes. [00:11:39] Speaker A: And was he right? [00:11:40] Speaker B: Yes. [00:11:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:41] Speaker B: So then the party heads up to the roof. It starts raining while we're on the roof, and the Aussie girl. No, no, no. Everyone piles in because it's like a real downpour. [00:11:55] Speaker C: You. [00:11:55] Speaker B: She's just sitting there like. Like hippie. Like, oh, man. And I'm like, what are you doing? I'm at this point freaking out. No, no, at this point, nothing's happening to me. So I'm like, shit. Is that what's going to happen? [00:12:08] Speaker C: Am I looking at my future? [00:12:09] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Am I looking at my. And a mate of mine goes, we're going to Smart Bar. Do you want to come? And I'm like. So I go to Smart Bar with them, and just when I'm on the dance floor, a ton of bricks falls on me. And I'm like, yeah, just like. [00:12:26] Speaker A: You run home. [00:12:27] Speaker B: No, I could barely move. I'm just standing on the dance floor sweating and. [00:12:33] Speaker A: Were you dancing? Did you loosen up and start dancing? [00:12:35] Speaker B: Like, no, at that point I froze because I'm like, yeah. You know, and then obviously I told these guys I might be freaking the out any minute. [00:12:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:44] Speaker B: So. And I've never had this stuff, so be prepared. So I think they got me home. That was number one. [00:12:50] Speaker A: Okay. Number two. [00:12:51] Speaker C: Was the. Was the guy pissed that you ate his whole pan of brownies? [00:12:54] Speaker A: He just. Pan. [00:12:55] Speaker B: Right. He just nibbled. [00:12:57] Speaker C: Oh, I thought you said when he. When he. When he came back, the pan was gone and he ate. [00:13:01] Speaker B: No, no, he just. He. [00:13:02] Speaker C: The section that you ate was missing. Yes. [00:13:05] Speaker B: Okay. So he did the maths in his hand. [00:13:07] Speaker C: Right, Right. He's like. That's potent. [00:13:09] Speaker B: Yeah. You are gonna be in trouble. Second one was on the infamous Darren Bodecker canoe trail. [00:13:15] Speaker A: Oh, I heard about that one. [00:13:17] Speaker B: So, yeah, you know, they all get. Absolutely. They're doing a magic mushrooms whatever they could get their hands on. [00:13:23] Speaker A: You doing all that, too? [00:13:24] Speaker B: No, I'm like, there's not. This ain't happening. But I did consent to what was meant to be a little bit of very weak weed brownie. [00:13:34] Speaker A: Yeah. And was nothing like the first time on the dance floor. [00:13:37] Speaker B: And then the net. When that hit, we decided to go upon thing. And then I had to listen to Adam Kroch's talk about death for 20 minutes. [00:13:46] Speaker A: I think his. [00:13:47] Speaker C: His. [00:13:48] Speaker A: His father or mother just died, maybe, or was. [00:13:51] Speaker B: No, no. He was just espousing general thing. And I'm high as a K. Yeah. [00:13:58] Speaker A: You didn't enjoy that. [00:13:59] Speaker B: And then after that, I'm like, never again. And I never. [00:14:02] Speaker A: And you never have. [00:14:03] Speaker B: Never have. [00:14:04] Speaker A: Yeah. You don't care. [00:14:05] Speaker B: Well, then I started going out with my present Mrs. And she said, any sort of hallucinogenics. [00:14:12] Speaker A: You're out. [00:14:12] Speaker B: You're out. [00:14:13] Speaker A: Oh, I like that ultimatum. My wife gave me one of those at. At one point in our relationship as well. I cleaned up my act, you know, wanted to stay married, you know. [00:14:23] Speaker B: No, I was like, I don't need a warning. Like, it's. I do not do well. So. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, I like this Heather. Let's get her in here. I want to hear more. More about the restrictions she's put on you. Put a governor on you. [00:14:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I have to. I have to tell her that I'm out jogging when I'm making this. [00:14:42] Speaker A: Oh, she doesn't know about it. [00:14:44] Speaker B: She does. [00:14:45] Speaker A: All right. I got a new segment for the show I'd like to introduce. It's called Listener Feedback. [00:14:51] Speaker C: Yeah. All right. [00:14:51] Speaker A: We've got quite a few listeners we picked up. [00:14:53] Speaker C: Really? Yep. [00:14:54] Speaker A: I think I told you about one of them. I found out we have another listener who wrote into the show to give some feedback. I can't remember what episode but she was listening. And when we were talking about speaking of Australians, I said, australians go. Who is it? And we came up with Paul Hogan, Mel Gibson. [00:15:18] Speaker C: Yep, yep. [00:15:19] Speaker A: And she said I was yelling at the. Whatever. I was yelling at the phone because it was coming out of her phone. Russell Brand. Russell Brand.

Says you guys have four fucking listeners, and this smug, dirty little English fuck is trying to get us all to pay for Patreon. I'm going to murder him. That's from Pat Skerritt. So this listener does not like. [00:16:21] Speaker C: How does he know how many listeners we have? Yeah, I think he just says, oh, because we say it all the time. [00:16:26] Speaker A: Yeah, we do talk about it. [00:16:28] Speaker B: We should publish the Kastos password live on air, and then everyone can just.

Bill, I'd like you to add a segment where I can call in and talk shit to your other guys on your panel. They're upsetting me, but not. [00:16:56] Speaker C: No reason why, though. [00:16:57] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know. [00:16:58] Speaker C: I'd love to know. [00:16:59] Speaker A: The listener does bring up a good point about call ins. We need call in ability.

Yeah, you say your phone number. We'll tell Swifty when we're recording, and then Swifty can call in and give us an earful. [00:17:42] Speaker A: Okay. All right, I'll let Swifty know. [00:17:44] Speaker B: Well, we'll have to live cast it because how are they going to know what to comment? [00:17:48] Speaker A: No, they're just here we're talking about now. [00:17:50] Speaker C: They don't care what. [00:17:51] Speaker A: They just wanted to talk about what they've been hearing like previous episodes. [00:17:55] Speaker C: Tell us why we're pissing them off. [00:17:57] Speaker B: Yeah, that could be an episode where we address. We address the critics. Yes, both of them, which it sounds like it's basically all me. [00:18:06] Speaker A: Yeah, they don't like you. They. [00:18:08] Speaker C: I was mentioned an honorable mention in there. [00:18:11] Speaker A: Yeah, you had in the form death. [00:18:14] Speaker C: Threat in the form of plural with guys. Yeah. [00:18:16] Speaker A: And they don't like either of you. [00:18:18] Speaker C: Right. [00:18:18] Speaker A: One of the guys, Swifty's got a problem. [00:18:20] Speaker B: All right, well, I'm just gonna sulk for the rest of this. [00:18:22] Speaker C: Yeah, well, hey, I'm gonna find the Swifty. [00:18:25] Speaker A: They think you're smug English prick. [00:18:27] Speaker C: Have a confrontation.

High end audio for the Collins. [00:18:40] Speaker C: What do you mean? Oh, yeah, but it's gonna hold the. [00:18:42] Speaker A: Phone up to the mic like, you know, like a. [00:18:46] Speaker C: Maybe they can zoom. If they can zoom, I can plug the laptop into the board here. [00:18:51] Speaker A: Listen, we got to step it up. Gary was talking about pre show. [00:18:55] Speaker C: Why stepping it up now? [00:18:56] Speaker B: No, we gotta step it down if anything. [00:19:00] Speaker C: Oh, I was thinking we should have a better format. Yeah, yeah. I've got. [00:19:06] Speaker A: I've got something in my ideas. [00:19:07] Speaker C: I do. Yeah. I was gonna lay them all out for you, but I'll save that for later. [00:19:10] Speaker A: A new format. Yeah, new look show under new management. [00:19:14] Speaker C: A structure, you know, a general structure and not how the information is laid out. [00:19:21] Speaker B: I'd like to have a clock where we all see. [00:19:24] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, we need a clock in here. [00:19:25] Speaker B: Pacing. Yeah, pacing. [00:19:28] Speaker C: That's what I'm thinking. I want to have it like the first ten minutes. Is this the next five minutes? Is this the next five minutes? Is this. [00:19:35] Speaker A: If it gets too formatted, though, it takes away some of the folksy charm. [00:19:39] Speaker C: We don't. We don't. We don't have to like absolutely adhere to the time. It doesn't have to be like, oh, it's been 15 minutes. We have to move on. Mark's showing us his phone. [00:19:48] Speaker A: Keeps showing the phone. [00:19:49] Speaker C: Yeah, we all have a phone. [00:19:51] Speaker A: Very uptight, nerved up. All right, what else do you want to talk about? Nothing. [00:19:58] Speaker C: Mark's shaking his head. [00:19:59] Speaker A: You're Matt. You really are going to be quiet because that guy called you a smug prick. [00:20:02] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm gonna be less smug. [00:20:07] Speaker A: I like when you're smug. I like when you're smug. Well, today we're gonna talk about Michael Chi. Is that how you pronounce it? Michael Chi. Chi. No. [00:20:18] Speaker B: Che. [00:20:18] Speaker C: I believe it's Shea. [00:20:19] Speaker A: No, I think it's Che. [00:20:21] Speaker B: Do you know where the Che comes from? [00:20:22] Speaker A: Che. [00:20:22] Speaker C: I think it's Che. [00:20:23] Speaker A: Che Guevara. [00:20:25] Speaker C: Yep. [00:20:26] Speaker A: Right. Well, I don't know. That's where it comes from. It probably predates it. Is the revolutionary his dad. Oh, you're him. [00:20:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:33] Speaker A: Oh, that's not his real name. [00:20:35] Speaker C: No, it's his middle name. [00:20:35] Speaker A: Michael Roberts or something. [00:20:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:38] Speaker B: Williams. [00:20:39] Speaker C: No, I. Yeah, I don't know. I could. [00:20:41] Speaker B: It was Scottish, was it? What? Yeah, it was Scottish because we. I got into a whole convo with my misses about if. If black people have a Scottish or Irish name, that means that they're a slave owner, right? [00:20:57] Speaker A: No, not necessarily. [00:20:58] Speaker B: Yes, it is. It does. [00:20:59] Speaker A: Yes, it does. [00:21:00] Speaker B: Yes. [00:21:00] Speaker A: Unless they're a moor. Are you familiar with the moors? [00:21:03] Speaker C: Oh, from Seinfeld. [00:21:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:05] Speaker B: Like Jaymore. Yeah, I know him. [00:21:07] Speaker A: No, not Jay Moore. [00:21:08] Speaker B: Campbell. [00:21:10] Speaker A: Campbell. Michael Campbell. [00:21:11] Speaker B: Can't get more Scottish than that. [00:21:13] Speaker C: That's. [00:21:13] Speaker A: That's Scottish. So the Campbell soup is Scottish. I didn't know. I didn't know Campbell was a Scottish. Neither did I. Yeah, we should know that. [00:21:21] Speaker C: Should we? [00:21:22] Speaker A: Well, I've lost. No, I don't know. We live over here. McDonald Campbell McDonald Gollagy. [00:21:32] Speaker B: You shouldn't be. Shouldn't. He had a tragic end. So. [00:21:35] Speaker A: I'm not just saying. You say Scottish. I think Gallagher. [00:21:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:40] Speaker A: And Mel Gibson. And that's Scottish. Braveheart. Yep, yep. Jesus. Okay. [00:21:49] Speaker B: I don't want to make. I want to say something, you know. [00:21:52] Speaker A: Oh, you're being sensitive just because Pat Scarrett's made up review. He was upset. I think the, the. The listener was upset because you are keep trying to charge for added information, right? Like the privileged information. You keep sending people to this Patreon. [00:22:15] Speaker C: Are they saying they're not going to sign up for. [00:22:16] Speaker A: They're not going to pay for it? They don' that. [00:22:18] Speaker C: Come on. [00:22:19] Speaker A: So I think it's just about some cash. Not you in general. It's this guy keep trying to charge for extra money. You know, you're, you're. He's still being smug. You're being more smug now that you're not talking than when you're Talking, I feel like. [00:22:36] Speaker B: Oh, there is one item on the agenda. You finally got the boner pill. [00:22:41] Speaker A: Oh, listen, I don't want to put that out there, but it's already out there. The boner pill that you found in the door jam last week that we had. We talked about behind the fire extinguisher. Yeah, yeah. Resurfaced in here. It's been sitting in here all week, and I now have it in my possession. [00:22:58] Speaker C: Yeah. All right. [00:22:59] Speaker A: I got that Fisherman's Friend in my breast pocket. I'm headed home after this. I wash it down on the way home with a. What is this? [00:23:10] Speaker C: Wink. [00:23:10] Speaker A: With a wink. [00:23:11] Speaker B: Wink. Wink Wank is what I call it. [00:23:15] Speaker A: This show is brought to you by Wink Seltzer and cbd. Wink. For all your winking.

Are you threatening the end of the show by holding up the stationary? [00:23:44] Speaker B: I'm walking. [00:23:46] Speaker A: I want to say last week as well, I talked about my wife and I having some sexual problems. [00:23:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:23:54] Speaker A: And I'm happy to report as of Monday. Yeah, everything's back. [00:23:58] Speaker C: Hey. All right. I'm glad to hear that. I was worried. [00:24:02] Speaker B: Grand slam. [00:24:03] Speaker A: No, no. [00:24:04] Speaker B: We. [00:24:05] Speaker A: We. We came to the table, so to speak, and we talked about a couple things. It was tough to move past what had happened before, but we managed to make the beast with two backs. [00:24:20] Speaker C: And again, if you'd like to know what happened, you need to sign up for our Patreon. [00:24:25] Speaker A: You're gonna get a death threat. [00:24:26] Speaker C: I know. [00:24:29] Speaker A: Pat Skerritt. [00:24:31] Speaker B: Yeah, that was Pat Scarra. Is that the one that shot Billy the Kid? [00:24:35] Speaker A: Pat Garrett. That was Pat Garrett. Close, though. Close. But my wife and I, we came together, and although it was mechanical, there were moments of tenderness. But if you don't make love, you may be familiar with this. If you don't make love for a long stretch and then you come back to make love, you're not smooth. [00:24:59] Speaker B: You're up and over like a pan of milk. [00:25:02] Speaker A: I don't know what that means. [00:25:05] Speaker B: You know when you boil in milk? [00:25:07] Speaker A: Yes. Oh, it boils up fast. [00:25:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:10] Speaker A: That means you get. What does that mean? You get too excited too fast. Yes. Up and over. That. Is that from the viz. Is it really? I thought you made it up. That would have been great. That's why people tune in to the show for you. For those. [00:25:26] Speaker C: You never know when one's going to drop. [00:25:27] Speaker A: Yeah. For those. Euphemisms. And then. Yeah, so that's. Yeah, that's all I know. Everybody wants to know about me making love. That's all I got. So you got anything? [00:25:40] Speaker B: No, My agenda. [00:25:42] Speaker A: All right, so we've covered a lot so far. Let's talk a little bit about today's comedian. Michael, you say Shay. [00:25:49] Speaker C: Yeah, I've been saying Shay. [00:25:51] Speaker A: I think it's Che. [00:25:52] Speaker C: Yeah. You know what? And especially since if he's named after. If the guy he's named after is Che, I'd assume he's also a Che. But I just always thought I heard. [00:26:00] Speaker A: People say shay, it's Che. Well, I didn't know that about him. I don't do any research. And now I've lost considerable respect for the man. [00:26:09] Speaker C: Why is that? [00:26:10] Speaker A: Because he does. That's not his real name. [00:26:12] Speaker C: Well, it is just his middle name. [00:26:14] Speaker A: I don't like stage names. What percentage of the comedians we. We look at here, do you think have fake names or just comedians in general? [00:26:23] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, because you did that show with a. All the comedians had stage names and you published their real names in the Reader. The Reader, yeah. And I think. I think one of them got. Yeah. [00:26:37] Speaker A: Shet Loquacious. He didn't like it having his name in there. Nor did. Well, I don't want to say Henry Scott. [00:26:45] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:26:46] Speaker A: I put all their real names in. Yeah. No, that wasn't a popular move. But I did not reveal any names that are. Well, I guess I did. But not Monty's. I wouldn't do. I would know better than to do that. Monty would make me pay a dear price. [00:27:01] Speaker B: I don't know how many. [00:27:03] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm surprised. Yeah, I think there are a lot. [00:27:06] Speaker B: Yeah. I think you can tell when you see. Especially when you see someone with a name and it's two first names. [00:27:13] Speaker A: And you like Randy, Cody. [00:27:17] Speaker B: Yeah. And that the most common one is just to chop off, like Michael Shea is. [00:27:23] Speaker A: Yeah. I didn't know that. I thought this was his real name. [00:27:25] Speaker B: No. So when you see a comedian that is two first names, I'm like, okay, that's not real. [00:27:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:31] Speaker A: Like Matt Rife. Rife's the first name. It's like a Scottish name. [00:27:37] Speaker C: Three or four Rifes. [00:27:39] Speaker B: Rife. [00:27:39] Speaker A: Rife. [00:27:40] Speaker C: Ralph Rife. [00:27:41] Speaker A: Rife. [00:27:42] Speaker C: Rife. [00:27:43] Speaker A: Of course. [00:27:44] Speaker B: Louis ck. [00:27:45] Speaker A: CK is not a first name. [00:27:47] Speaker C: It is if you're a cologne. [00:27:50] Speaker A: Don Julio. Gabrielle. Steve Harvey. [00:27:59] Speaker B: Steve Harvey. [00:28:00] Speaker A: Who else? Adam Sandler. Sandler. First name. [00:28:06] Speaker B: I was thinking more. I thought you were talking about people we actually know. [00:28:10] Speaker A: You ever do that? Thing they tell you do, take your childhood street name and add it to. Yeah, what was it your stripper name? No. Yeah, that would be a stripper name. [00:28:20] Speaker C: But to come up with it, you. [00:28:21] Speaker A: Have to add a street name to. [00:28:23] Speaker C: The street name, to your middle name. Yep, that was it. Chalmers. Thomas. [00:28:28] Speaker A: Yeah, that does sound like an adult film star. What would yours be? Cottonwood. Goose Hills. Randy Cottonwood Goose Hills. [00:28:36] Speaker B: Wayne. [00:28:38] Speaker A: No, Wayne Goosehills. Your name's not Goose Hills? [00:28:42] Speaker B: I think it was street. [00:28:43] Speaker A: No. Yeah, first name and then street. [00:28:45] Speaker C: No, it's middle name, then street. [00:28:47] Speaker A: Middle name. [00:28:47] Speaker C: Thomas Chalmers. [00:28:48] Speaker A: Thomas Chalmers Chalmers. [00:28:50] Speaker C: That's pretty good. [00:28:51] Speaker A: That's a pretty good name. Mine's similar. Thomas Butternut. [00:28:55] Speaker C: Wow. [00:28:56] Speaker A: I mean, can you really come up with a better name than Butternut? Perfect. It's kind of perfect. Butternut Lane. That's where I grew up, on Butternut Lane. [00:29:05] Speaker C: What happens if you grew up on a numbered street? [00:29:07] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Like. [00:29:10] Speaker B: Well, he could be William 13 Henry v. Henry. [00:29:15] Speaker A: Yeah, the 13. Like 13 incher. [00:29:20] Speaker C: Just like that. Yeah. [00:29:21] Speaker A: My. My friend in high school's dad had a. We call him 13 incher. 13 incher. 13 inch dong. How we knew that, you know? I don't know. We knew the guy. [00:29:34] Speaker C: I mean, if somebody has a 13 inch, everybody, everybody knows. [00:29:37] Speaker B: My mate used to call a dude with a big dick the Boston Whambacker. [00:29:44] Speaker A: I like that. I would just stick with Boston Strangler. [00:29:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:47] Speaker A: With a Whambacker. [00:29:49] Speaker B: I don't know. I don't know where he pulled him. [00:29:53] Speaker C: That was the name of the street he grew up on. [00:29:58] Speaker A: Well, I have to reassess my review now because I didn't know Michael Chase. I didn't know that was his real name. But the name of his special is Michael che matters from 2018. [00:30:09] Speaker C: 2016. [00:30:09] Speaker A: 16. I think I've seen this. I. Maybe I remember watching his stand up when I wasn't watching any stand up and I watched it, but I don't. I don't know if it was this. I don't remember any of the bits. But it was right around that time he comes out, he's in a Brooklyn warehouse, which. Okay, all right. [00:30:30] Speaker B: That was impressive. They had the money to convert a warehouse just to film a special in. [00:30:35] Speaker A: Well, I think a lot of them are venues, like music venues that, you know, it's not just created for the special. [00:30:40] Speaker C: Yeah, it's a. It's. It's. Serves as a creative space. Now, did he do any reading up on the location? [00:30:46] Speaker A: What was it? Brooklyn Steel. [00:30:48] Speaker C: It was. It's called Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse is Brooklyn. As you mentioned, it used to be the biggest seller of maritime. Maritime ropes in the US from the 19th century to the 80s. And then. And then it fell out of. Just kind of went under. And I guess there's 16 buildings in the complex. And so then after they weren't selling ropes anymore, then a bunch of vagabonds moved in. People were just squatting there and, you know, the place was falling into disrepair, etc. And then there was a large fire in 2006 that destroyed a lot of. [00:31:23] Speaker A: We don't need to know all this. [00:31:25] Speaker C: But then they converted after the fire, and they converted it to a bunch of creative spaces, one of them being a comedy venue in which Michael. [00:31:32] Speaker A: Sweet. Anyway. Okay, so Michael Che matters. Does he matter? How popular is Michael Che? I don't ever know how popular somebody is. [00:31:47] Speaker C: He hosted the Emmys right after that. He's very popular at the time. Yeah. [00:31:50] Speaker A: He's hosted the Emmys. [00:31:51] Speaker C: Yeah. With. With Colin Jost. [00:31:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:56] Speaker A: I never know how popular a comedian is. Right. [00:31:58] Speaker C: Yeah. He was big for a while there. [00:32:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Not anymore. [00:32:02] Speaker C: I mean, it's not like he's fallen off or anything. He just hasn't really done as much as he was doing then since like 2022. Where did. [00:32:09] Speaker B: He's been in SNL. So that's that 200 grand a year minimum, Right. [00:32:15] Speaker A: For him. More than that now, probably when they come in, they get 100 grand. Even if you're a bit player. I don't know. He's still on the desk, right? [00:32:24] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:32:25] Speaker A: Him and Jost. [00:32:26] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:28] Speaker B: What does he need to do? Yeah, yeah. [00:32:32] Speaker A: I feel like they have it easier, too. [00:32:33] Speaker C: Right. [00:32:34] Speaker A: Like, if you're a anchor on the. [00:32:35] Speaker C: Show, you just show for all the sketches and all that. Yeah. [00:32:39] Speaker A: You have to hustle like the other cast members. Yeah. They were just right. [00:32:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:44] Speaker A: They don't even write those. [00:32:45] Speaker C: No costume changes or anything like that. Just. Yeah. He's got your few minutes in the middle of the show there and you're done. [00:32:52] Speaker A: Yeah, that's great. [00:32:53] Speaker B: It's already guaranteed the desk guys, some of them do sketch. [00:32:58] Speaker C: Sometimes they do, but he's not known to do more than just a few. He's very rarely. Will he appear in sketches. [00:33:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, where do you rank him? Him and Jost as anchors and the pantheon of great Saturday Night Live news anchors? The longest serving, I would say. [00:33:16] Speaker B: Not longer serving than. [00:33:17] Speaker C: Not longer. [00:33:17] Speaker B: Colin. What's his face? [00:33:18] Speaker A: Colin. [00:33:19] Speaker C: Colin Quinn. [00:33:20] Speaker A: He was longer. [00:33:21] Speaker B: Quinn was there forever. [00:33:23] Speaker C: It seems like it at Least. Yeah, The. The woman that he replaced was the longest tenured. I think the longest tenured female. Maybe cast member. I don't think cast member, but at least desk person there. We can update. [00:33:36] Speaker A: Oh, Fay and Poehler. [00:33:38] Speaker C: No, I can't remember her name. No, I didn't recognize Jane Kurt. No. No. [00:33:44] Speaker A: What? [00:33:45] Speaker C: No, it's. It's one of those ones. If you see her face, I clicked on. I was like, who is. Oh, yeah, I recognize her, but I couldn't tell you her name. It's worth. It's worth a search for all you listeners out there. [00:33:54] Speaker A: All right, well, they're okay. I like them. They're pretty good together. [00:34:00] Speaker C: The. The joke swap thing they do. [00:34:02] Speaker A: Yeah, that's good. [00:34:03] Speaker C: That's. I mean, that's just. Every time. It's killer. [00:34:05] Speaker A: Who do you like better, Jost or Che? [00:34:07] Speaker C: Che. [00:34:08] Speaker A: You like Che better? [00:34:09] Speaker B: Who was the one who used to throw the pen at the cat? [00:34:11] Speaker C: David Letterman. [00:34:13] Speaker A: Yeah, it was Dave Letterman, but I think it was Dennis Miller. Well, Dennis Miller used to do the. Yeah, that. Throwing the pen. Oh, yeah, somebody did throw the pen. Kevin Nealon. Norm is the best for me. [00:34:29] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:34:32] Speaker A: We ever gonna review someone of his caliber. Norm MacDonald. [00:34:35] Speaker C: We'll see. [00:34:36] Speaker A: My wife is. Wants me to again plug Leanne Morgan, who's the hottest thing since sliced bread. [00:34:44] Speaker B: I got five. After the. I finished Shay, I said to Heather, I'm gonna watch five minutes of this. Leanne Morgan just had it. It's terrible. [00:34:54] Speaker A: Oh, well, that buries the lead. [00:34:56] Speaker B: I don't know. Maybe it heats up, but it didn't. [00:34:59] Speaker A: Heat up for me. My wife was, like, holding clips and showing me everything. [00:35:02] Speaker B: I expect. [00:35:04] Speaker A: Yeah, it's very trite. [00:35:06] Speaker B: Yes. [00:35:06] Speaker A: My husband wants to have sex. I just want to go to bed. Like, it's like that. Yeah, it's gold. Yeah. [00:35:16] Speaker C: All right. [00:35:17] Speaker A: Well, I think this man is very smart, Michael Che. His humor is very smart. And although he goes down the same road as many a African American comedian in with the N word stuff, cops and the treatment of African Americans. It's all good. It's better, right? [00:35:44] Speaker C: I agree. [00:35:45] Speaker A: I think this is. He does a really nice job on the tropes. He tropes. Well, that's not right, what I'm trying to say, but you know what I'm saying. [00:35:55] Speaker C: Yeah, I think I know what you're saying. [00:35:57] Speaker A: He does the standard fare better than the standard comedian. [00:36:03] Speaker C: It's got more meat to it. It's not just like he's. He's not just saying things just to say him, he's saying things and backing it up. [00:36:09] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Like, the whole black lives matter thing was. I thought was brilliant. Right. Like we said, just matters. [00:36:17] Speaker C: Right? Yeah, just. [00:36:17] Speaker A: Matt, like, would black lives exist? Right. Like, that's brilliant. [00:36:21] Speaker C: Takeover. Like, we're just. We're just going for civil rights. Can we just be civil? [00:36:25] Speaker B: Right. Yeah, right. [00:36:26] Speaker C: This shit's right. [00:36:27] Speaker A: I never think. [00:36:28] Speaker C: I've never thought of that. Yeah. It's right in front of your face. [00:36:31] Speaker A: That's really high level. [00:36:33] Speaker C: Right. [00:36:34] Speaker A: He, He. I could tell he's. He's getting ready on leash here. [00:36:38] Speaker B: No, I'm trying. I'm holding back my smugness. One thing I did, when he said his brother's a cop, he just kind of skated past it. And I was like, you would think. [00:36:49] Speaker A: He did a whole bit about it. Yeah. The Thanksgiving bit. [00:36:52] Speaker C: I'm reaching for the potatoes. [00:36:54] Speaker B: Just. Yeah, one joke. I thought he could have gone. He could have done 10 minutes just on that. [00:37:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:00] Speaker C: Maybe he didn't have more funny stuff to say. [00:37:02] Speaker A: Maybe it's not funny. [00:37:03] Speaker B: Yeah, maybe. Maybe his brother doesn't want him to or whatever. But I felt like, holy crap, you're a black comedian. You've got a pop brother. You could get more special. [00:37:13] Speaker A: There's more meat on that bone. [00:37:14] Speaker B: Yeah. And he just had the one really good joke and then just skated by, which I was like. But I. I echo in a. In a smug way, I echo what you're thinking, which is, he's taking pretty standard fare, but he is doing it better. [00:37:33] Speaker A: Yes. And I think, you know, a lesser comedian, you know, would. Might even do very similar stuff, and it would not work. But he's. He's got the. Like I said, he's smart, he writes well. He takes stuff that a lot of people are working with and just does it better. But there's something else, a je ne sais quoi of comedy that this man has that I think we haven't really talked about. It's a something. It's an essence that the comedian brings on stage that makes them able to do this kind of material better. The writing is good, but there's something. It's a glint in the eye. [00:38:15] Speaker C: Yep. I'd written down. It's like. It's like talking to a really funny friend. You know, like, as I was watching him, he kind of, like. He brings you in with his personality. [00:38:26] Speaker A: Yes. And that. And that, I think, is more important. I think the same thing with Sandor. Sandor's material is terrible. Most of it. Right. But he can get away with it. He can make it funny because he has that essence. Whereas we look at a lot of comedians who. They may be great writers, but they. As soon as they step on stage, like, I hate this person. And that just may be, you know, subjective personal feelings. They, you know, remind you of somebody or something. But I think that's. That's the truest truism of comedy, is that if you are a funny person, that will come out on stage and the material can survive it. [00:39:02] Speaker C: What do you think about them having the band on stage the entire show in the background? [00:39:07] Speaker A: That was different, right? Yeah, yeah. [00:39:09] Speaker C: The one guy stood the whole time. Well, the dj, I thought. It's. [00:39:13] Speaker A: A couple of guys were standing back there. [00:39:15] Speaker C: There's a drummer, he was sitting. The guitar player had a stool. And then the guy that was. I mean, he was just at a laptop, so I'm assuming he's a dj. He couldn't play an instrument, so he just stood the whole time. [00:39:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I was looking at their reactions. [00:39:27] Speaker C: So was I. [00:39:28] Speaker A: And just like Saturday Night Live, Right, when you look at the band. [00:39:30] Speaker C: Yeah, right. [00:39:31] Speaker A: So the comedians, jokes. [00:39:32] Speaker C: That's not a fun gig either. I've done that here a lot of times, playing the piano for a comedy show. Because you're sitting there for the whole show and you're not playing, except for when they're getting up, getting on stage and coming off. So it's 15 seconds at a time, you know, and you're playing, like, the intro, but then the rest of the time you're just sitting there and half the crowd is looking at your. Like, every time the comedian tells a joke, they all pan over to you and. Yeah, and if you just want to. I mean, a lot of times you've heard all these comics jokes a hundred times. [00:40:01] Speaker B: You know what you should do? [00:40:03] Speaker C: Well, stop doing it. That's what I did. [00:40:04] Speaker B: No daft pump. Just get yourself a crash helmet. [00:40:08] Speaker A: Oh, that's a good idea. [00:40:10] Speaker C: Just wear a mask. [00:40:11] Speaker A: Like Marshmallow or whatever. [00:40:13] Speaker B: Just sit there with your crash helmet on and tinted goggles. No one can. [00:40:19] Speaker A: Or do, like the Unknown Comic and put a bag over your head. Just sit there. [00:40:25] Speaker C: That's. That's. Well, if I ever do it again. [00:40:27] Speaker B: You know, I noticed the mannerism about Michael Shea. [00:40:31] Speaker C: Yeah, I did. He was touching his lip. [00:40:33] Speaker A: Oh, he does that. [00:40:34] Speaker B: Yeah, he keeps doing that. [00:40:37] Speaker C: He wasn't quite like, okay, so what? Because this is a podcast, they can't see us, but we're putting our fingers around our lips. [00:40:43] Speaker A: Like evil mustache, thumb, thumb and index. [00:40:46] Speaker C: Finger, kind of like. [00:40:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:47] Speaker A: Like, corners of the mouth. [00:40:49] Speaker C: He wasn't doing a thing where, like, he was smoothing down an invisible mustache. He was doing a thing where he was, like, like playing with an invisible toothpick. It almost seems he was like. He's sticking to, like, one. One part of his lip, as if he, like, had a scab and he's trying to get it off. [00:41:02] Speaker B: You know, I notice comedian mannerisms, like, habitually. [00:41:07] Speaker C: I kept thinking, why is he touching his face so much? [00:41:09] Speaker B: I just notice them because I'm, you know, it's a lot of body. [00:41:13] Speaker A: You're a talent scout. You're a trained eye. [00:41:16] Speaker B: Yep. [00:41:18] Speaker A: I. Well, I didn't notice that, but I did notice with his mannerisms, a lot of similarities to. [00:41:28] Speaker C: To who? [00:41:28] Speaker A: I'm asking, see if you notice similarities in his delivery, his. The way he carries himself, some of his mannerism. [00:41:38] Speaker B: Night Bargazi esque to me. Really? Every Manish. Yeah. [00:41:43] Speaker A: Well, I didn't think that. [00:41:44] Speaker B: There's no strut, but he doesn't even. [00:41:46] Speaker A: He's just, like, deadpan Nate Bargazzi, Right? Like. [00:41:49] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:41:52] Speaker A: No, Chappelle. Like, the way he would, like, laugh at his jokes. [00:41:57] Speaker B: What? [00:41:59] Speaker A: No, the way he would, like, slap his leg and, like, step back from the mic. [00:42:04] Speaker B: Like, Chappelle struts. He's a peacock. Shay is, Is a. I'm here. Occupying this space. [00:42:13] Speaker A: Yeah, that's true. I thought some of the manners were. [00:42:16] Speaker B: Similar, but thought his hoodie looked a bit tight. [00:42:20] Speaker A: I thought so, too. [00:42:21] Speaker C: I liked it. I thought. I, I, I kept looking. I'm like, where do you get a hoodie like that? Because he, look, he's wearing something that looks very comfortable, but without looking like a slob. [00:42:30] Speaker A: It's tight. [00:42:31] Speaker C: Yeah, it was tight hoodie. Right. It was too tight. I thought it fit well. [00:42:34] Speaker A: Feel like. I felt like he was uncomfortable. [00:42:36] Speaker B: I felt like, you can't. I thought. I looked at him, I was like, you're not going to get anything in the pouch in the front. [00:42:41] Speaker A: No tight form. It's gonna be hard to get off. [00:42:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:45] Speaker C: Right. [00:42:46] Speaker A: At the end of the night. Hoodies are tough to get off in general, but. [00:42:49] Speaker C: But he's got to find a hoodie that he can wear on stage and look good, you know? And I think he was very successful with. [00:42:55] Speaker A: You liked his look? [00:42:55] Speaker C: I did. I really did. [00:42:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:57] Speaker C: I wrote, I even wrote something down about it. [00:42:58] Speaker A: You don't like this kind of look? [00:42:59] Speaker C: You like a. Yeah, it's a bit. [00:43:02] Speaker A: Yeah, it's too little, too slatternly. [00:43:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:05] Speaker A: You familiar with that term slatternly? Yes, but it was all new clothes. [00:43:11] Speaker C: That's the thing. They were new. Right. [00:43:14] Speaker A: You could tell they weren't one thing that bothers me. I'm always looking at shoes. You look at mannerisms, right? I look at the shoes. I don't know why they gotta have brand new shoes. [00:43:26] Speaker C: I like that. [00:43:27] Speaker A: I don't like brand. Those things just came right out of the box. [00:43:29] Speaker C: Yeah, I think that's cool. [00:43:31] Speaker A: I like a guy in dirty shoes. That tells me this guy works. [00:43:35] Speaker C: Yeah, but you're on stage. I mean, I'm sure a dirty shoe. [00:43:39] Speaker B: Sure. [00:43:40] Speaker C: He's not wearing brand new white sneakers. [00:43:42] Speaker A: If you were to perform tonight, Mark, you're known for your shoes. Would you change out those dirty marinated shoes into a brand new pair of shoes? [00:43:51] Speaker B: I wouldn't put brand new. I would put something more than what I would normally wear. [00:43:56] Speaker A: Would you wear a men's shoe? Would you put on like a Buster Brown or a Hush Puppy? [00:44:00] Speaker B: Yeah, cuz I want to look cooler than people. That's cool. [00:44:04] Speaker A: To look like a businessman, I would wear penny loafers. [00:44:09] Speaker B: Depends who's wearing it and what penny loafer. [00:44:12] Speaker A: You'd wear a loafer? [00:44:13] Speaker C: Sure. [00:44:14] Speaker B: I'd wear ch. [00:44:15] Speaker C: As long as the penny. [00:44:16] Speaker B: I did. I bought some Chelsea boots specifically to perform in. What? [00:44:21] Speaker A: What are Chelsea boots? [00:44:22] Speaker C: Yeah, what are those? [00:44:22] Speaker B: Chelsea boots are like the ones. It's like a. It like a taller than a shoe and it's elasticated on the side. They're not like the full on winkle pickers like the. Like the Beatles used to wear. I'm trying to think how to best describe jack boots. [00:44:41] Speaker A: Like the Nazis. [00:44:42] Speaker B: Oh no. They're like. [00:44:43] Speaker A: You wear a jack boot all the way up to the knee. [00:44:45] Speaker B: You have to Google it, Kelsey. Chelsea boots. Let's pause for five seconds while everyone listening. Grab their phone, Google Chelsea boots. [00:44:56] Speaker A: All right. [00:44:57] Speaker B: As in Chelsea, you know, the football team, the area. [00:45:02] Speaker A: London Chelsea handler. [00:45:04] Speaker B: Yep, Boots. [00:45:07] Speaker A: If you type in Chelsea boots, isn't it in the first six things that comes up? But okay. Chelsea boot. Oh, these are like a Austin Powers boot. [00:45:16] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess they're very 60s. 60s. [00:45:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:45:19] Speaker A: That's an Austin Powers boot that I. [00:45:21] Speaker B: Actually bought some Chelsea boots. [00:45:23] Speaker A: You'd wear those. [00:45:24] Speaker B: I bought some to perform in. [00:45:26] Speaker A: When? In 2001? [00:45:28] Speaker B: Yeah, 1997 or whatever. [00:45:30] Speaker A: And you still have them? [00:45:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:32] Speaker A: You must have so much at your house. [00:45:35] Speaker B: The Chelsea, they cost 120 quid from Camden market. They ain't going to the Thrifty. [00:45:40] Speaker A: Did you hear this about Roberta Flack's entire personal belonging. You know Roberta Flack ended up at the Swaporama in Back of the Yards, right? Like somebody was going through it. Like it was like her Grammy. The dresses that she wore, like all her stuff, she had it all in a storage locker. And this is what I want to do with you. I want to bid. Have you ever been on a storage locker? [00:46:04] Speaker B: Dangerous. Yeah, I got addicted to that. It'd be nightmare. [00:46:08] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's like you don't know what you're going to get. So whoever they stop, Roberta Flack died. And her daughter stopped paying the payments on the storage and moved to Florida. Forgot all about it. Who is this Roberta Flack? Jesus Lord, man. You call yourself a music man? [00:46:24] Speaker C: I don't. I never. I never. [00:46:25] Speaker A: Roberta Flack, queen of the blues. [00:46:28] Speaker C: Say it a couple more times, maybe I'll know who it is. [00:46:29] Speaker A: Roberta Flack. Not to be confused with Chicago's Municipal golf Course. Robert A. Black. [00:46:35] Speaker C: I was just about to ask. [00:46:36] Speaker A: Yeah, this is Roberta Flack. But we will call Robert A. [00:46:39] Speaker C: Black. [00:46:39] Speaker A: Roberta Flack sometimes. I don't really know her either, but I know she's a big name. Yeah, right. I don't listen to her music. [00:46:47] Speaker C: What, what does she sing? Does she play an instrument? [00:46:50] Speaker B: She's just like. She's sort of Dion Warwick. Yeah. You know, like this song? [00:46:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:46:54] Speaker A: Gladys Knight. [00:46:55] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [00:46:56] Speaker A: Not. Maybe not that. Yeah. Anyway, so all her end up at the Swaporama because she didn't pay the bill on. On the thing. And the guy bought it sight unseen for I don't know what. I don't know what you pay for a storage thing. And not only was all this memorabilia in there, he doesn't give a fuck about the memorabilia because when he opened that storage, there was a butt ton of cash too. Like just a bag of cash. He's like, I got this cash. She took care of me. You guys can have all her dresses and shit. [00:47:26] Speaker B: I don't give a giving away Grammys and Jesus Christ. [00:47:31] Speaker A: But the daughter's trying to recollect it all. So reach out to her. You got some of that Roberta Flax? [00:47:39] Speaker C: Are you talking about the same daughter that stopped paying the bill for the storage? [00:47:44] Speaker A: Now she knows all the shit's blowing around the swap around. [00:47:46] Speaker C: A little too late now, isn't it? [00:47:48] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. What were we talking about? How do we. What? [00:47:54] Speaker C: Chelsea Boots. [00:47:55] Speaker A: Chelsea Boots. I don't know how that ended up with the Roberta Flack story, but how do we even get talk. Oh, his boots. I don't like the new shoes. I'd like to see a comedian wear dirty shoes. Jesus. That's nothing. [00:48:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:16] Speaker A: Pair of Wellingtons and a dirty Harrington. I don't know what Wellingtons are. Yeah. So I liked his look, but I did think his thing was too tight. Not professional enough for you? We'll see if that weighs into your review of this. All right, so then we go. I liked. I liked all this. Listen, let me just say it right here, because you keep looking at your watch like you're gonna throw me out of here any minute. I like all this. [00:48:42] Speaker C: I don't even have a watch on him. [00:48:46] Speaker A: I like all this man's material. I like this man's act. I like this man's look. He's smart. He's got credibility. And he does old. He. He does old ground new and does it well. [00:49:03] Speaker B: What did you think about dragging the audience into it? [00:49:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I did. I was just about to say that Paul and Nick get. Get some real FaceTime in this program. [00:49:14] Speaker C: Yep. [00:49:15] Speaker A: Before I say how I like it. How do you think they like it? [00:49:18] Speaker B: Not at all. I would think. [00:49:19] Speaker A: No. [00:49:20] Speaker C: You don't think so? No. [00:49:22] Speaker A: They become part of a man special. [00:49:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:49:24] Speaker A: Now they're. They must have to sign some kind of. [00:49:26] Speaker C: Nick was having a good time, at least, even if he didn't really know how. [00:49:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:30] Speaker B: No. Nick got the really rough end of the pineapple. [00:49:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:49:34] Speaker A: But he was laughing his ass off. [00:49:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:49:36] Speaker A: He did answer it. He did answer it. [00:49:39] Speaker B: You could tell. He said lesbian. [00:49:41] Speaker C: Lesbian. [00:49:42] Speaker A: Why would you answer that? [00:49:43] Speaker B: After about 30 seconds of like, well, what can I say? That's not gonna get me to. In the right. Like, what. What if he just suddenly shouted out anal? [00:49:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:55] Speaker B: You know what I mean? [00:49:56] Speaker A: And now, like, for the rest of. [00:49:58] Speaker C: His life, ping. [00:50:02] Speaker A: Ping, ping pong. [00:50:03] Speaker B: I mean, you could tell the. The. The cogs are turning. He's like. He's not. He's not gonna let me not answer, but I can't. [00:50:13] Speaker A: It was. [00:50:14] Speaker C: I can't be honest. [00:50:15] Speaker B: I can't answer something that ends my life, career. [00:50:18] Speaker A: So he said lesbian. [00:50:19] Speaker B: So it's even worse. Lesbian. Because that's what everybody. [00:50:23] Speaker A: I like lesbian porn. Why would you announce it? I would never announce. [00:50:27] Speaker B: What would you have said if you were him? [00:50:29] Speaker A: I just wouldn't have said anything. I'm like, nope. [00:50:31] Speaker C: You know what? I was one year. [00:50:33] Speaker A: I'm not going to be your. [00:50:34] Speaker B: Shay was not gonna let it go. [00:50:36] Speaker A: Then I will sit here all night. He said, you could stare at me, and I'll stare at You. [00:50:40] Speaker B: He said to him five times, what, what? What? [00:50:43] Speaker A: I know. He did sink his teeth into him. It reminded me of the Patrice o' Neill one. When he asked how he would kill his wife, the woman sitting next to him. Right. He didn't want to answer anybody. Did he say he would choke her or something? Yeah. Yeah. [00:50:59] Speaker C: And so does. Does Michael Che have jokes ready for any category of porn? That the answer? [00:51:05] Speaker A: It seemed like he had a. [00:51:06] Speaker C: He had a right off the cuff. He had four or five things to say. So I was wondering, does he have something for. No matter what category you bring up, he's got something locked and loaded and ready to go. [00:51:16] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know. I just think he's quick. [00:51:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:20] Speaker A: I think with this. I know you never think that, but very limited. [00:51:24] Speaker B: If you're talking about this specific. [00:51:26] Speaker A: He might have got lucky too. [00:51:28] Speaker B: You got a very limited range of what answer you're gonna get from a complete stranger. So I'm thinking three TV cameras on him. [00:51:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:38] Speaker C: Like, has he asked this so many times in, like, just doing sets, you know, just. And he's gotten so many different answers that he knows, like, the likelihood is it's gonna be one of these five options. [00:51:48] Speaker A: And I've. [00:51:49] Speaker C: And I've already. I know what works for each one of those. [00:51:51] Speaker B: Yep. Yeah. [00:51:52] Speaker A: I mean, if you're a comedian of this caliber, Right. You are a master orator. Right. You can take anything anyone throws at you and polish it up into something. Right. [00:52:03] Speaker C: Fair. [00:52:04] Speaker A: So, yeah. And I'm sure he's shred a lot of this material before anyway, but I think even somebody like terrible like Matt Rife, Right. He was able to do a whole special on crowd work. But what's different about Chase crowd work was he picked two people and he never went anywhere but these two people. If you look at a master of crowd work like Stuart Lee, who I thought did an amazing job with the crowd work, he didn't. He didn't get into people too much. Like, he might make fun of his shirt that they're wearing, but he wasn't gonna go deep into, like, he just kept coming back to these guys for different things, like mining more out of these guys that I don't like. I think it makes me uncomfortable. It's like, I don't want to see that somebody dig in. Whether it's mean spirited or not. I just don't want to get into this audience member. [00:52:50] Speaker B: That's why we can't get people to sit in the front row of a comedy show. [00:52:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:52:54] Speaker A: Yeah. They don't want to be part. Become part of some guy's act, Be a foil for some open micr. [00:53:00] Speaker B: Every now and again. Every now and again. Every now and again, you get someone who's like, oh, yeah, I want to be in the front row. And you're like, that means you are the last fucking. [00:53:08] Speaker C: Yeah, right. [00:53:09] Speaker B: I want in the front row. [00:53:10] Speaker A: Right, Right. Yeah. You don't want anyone that really wants to participate in the show. [00:53:16] Speaker C: No. [00:53:18] Speaker A: They've got their own agenda. [00:53:20] Speaker C: Speaking of which, his closing joke, when he started talking about going to the strip club. Time to go, everybody. Everybody started yelling. Everybody started yelling something. During the closing joke, he said he went to a strip club. And I even put the captions on for this part to see if I. Because sometimes those. They'll have. They'll like. Whoever's making the captions knows what the audience members said. I can't hear it on my laptop. You know what I mean? They did say that one person said, hustler. [00:53:48] Speaker A: Oh, strip clubs. I like strip clubs. And they started yelling out. [00:53:51] Speaker C: And they started yelling stuff. But why? Why then like. And because it wasn't really like a big closing joke either. He just said he went in with $50 and came out with 47. Yeah. And he was like, that's it, Good night. And I'm thinking it was a weird ending. So I'm thinking, does everybody else in that room know something I don't do? They like, is that they knew, like, oh, he's doing the strip club thing. I'm gonna shout strip clubs to him. [00:54:14] Speaker A: You know, he ends all of them like that or something. [00:54:16] Speaker B: He could have stopped and said, I'm gonna do this. Right. And then they just edit it out. [00:54:23] Speaker A: He had some great. [00:54:24] Speaker B: Like, he could have said to the audience, all right, break. This is what's gonna happen next. I'm gonna do this. When I say this, you start yelling out. [00:54:35] Speaker C: Straight weird way to do it anyway. [00:54:38] Speaker B: No, but then they would just edit it out. That's how the audience knew something you didn't know. [00:54:43] Speaker C: Right? Sure. But that'd be a weird way to end a special if you did it that way. [00:54:46] Speaker B: It was the bizarrest end. [00:54:47] Speaker A: It was really weird, very clunky. Right. [00:54:50] Speaker C: Like what I. Yeah, I backed it up to see the closed caption thing, but then when he ended it, I backed it up to see if I missed something. Wait, that. That, that was the end? [00:54:59] Speaker A: I kind of liked it cuz it was. It was different. And it was like, what the fuck happened? [00:55:02] Speaker C: I didn't hate it, but I Was surprised. [00:55:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, he could end it with some of the bits before which were really good. Like that one about horror movies versus porno movies. And like, why is one acceptable? Like, I. You can have that open on plane, somebody getting murdered. [00:55:17] Speaker C: Right. [00:55:17] Speaker A: Head chopped off. But I can't have a video of two people making a love. No. I mean, if I go through with bits like his take on white women was amazing. Right. How white women can. [00:55:30] Speaker C: Oh, my God. Yeah. Gentrified neighborhood. [00:55:32] Speaker A: Gentrifying neighborhoods. [00:55:33] Speaker C: Or fearless head off your head and start dancing. [00:55:35] Speaker A: That. That, that bit. Yeah. What was the one where the guy. You never see a guy. A black guy. [00:55:45] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:48] Speaker A: That was brilliant. This guy is brilliant. I'm gonna say it now. The best comedian we've seen so far. The best comedian working today. I put him up there with a great. Caleb Heron. [00:56:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:02] Speaker A: I put him up there with Randy Felt Face. [00:56:06] Speaker C: Oh. [00:56:06] Speaker A: Some of my favorites. [00:56:07] Speaker C: Prestige. [00:56:08] Speaker A: And tune in next week to our special one year anniversary show. I think it's been a year since we've been doing this. Oh, yeah. I have pictures on my phone of us in here. Let's get a. I don't think we've ever taken a picture. I'm gonna take a picture right now. Where we rank all the specials from the previous. [00:56:28] Speaker B: There's no one. [00:56:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:29] Speaker A: There's nobody in that. We're all in it. So tune in to hear who is the best comedian to ever live. Will it be Gallagher? [00:56:38] Speaker C: Ever live. [00:56:38] Speaker B: Well, hang on. Initially you said, let's just do it for season one. [00:56:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Season one. What are we on season three? [00:56:45] Speaker B: Season one ended at Joe Perrott, I think. [00:56:50] Speaker A: Love Joe Perry. [00:56:51] Speaker C: That was a good one, too. [00:56:52] Speaker B: So. [00:56:54] Speaker A: Well, but we're already. We're gonna go back and do that. How do you. You would have had to have that be the last episode of season one. [00:57:01] Speaker B: So what do you want to do? [00:57:03] Speaker A: We'll do the last episode of season two. When did. How much more. Season two. [00:57:09] Speaker C: Yeah. How many episodes are we into season two? [00:57:15] Speaker A: I think we should every week update our listings of, like, the college football poll of greatest comedians, see if anyone. [00:57:23] Speaker C: Cracks in of the week. [00:57:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:25] Speaker A: Based on what we saw. Greatest comedian so far of all time, Caleb Huron. Who would you. Go ahead. You say one. [00:57:33] Speaker B: You know, I'm gonna say Stuart Lee. [00:57:34] Speaker A: Stuart Lee. I put him in. In my top five. [00:57:37] Speaker C: Oh, boy. [00:57:38] Speaker A: Who would you put in your. [00:57:39] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't know. [00:57:41] Speaker A: Randy Foulface. [00:57:43] Speaker C: Honestly, that's. [00:57:44] Speaker A: Who is Australia? [00:57:45] Speaker C: Not just because you're. You're saying what you're saying, right? Now, but I think this one might have been the one I laughed at the most. [00:57:51] Speaker A: Really? [00:57:51] Speaker C: Yeah. He had me going. [00:57:54] Speaker A: I loved it. I thought he was great. I laughed. I laughed. I didn't. I wasn't laughing. [00:57:58] Speaker B: Do you. Do you sense a diminishing returns thing happening in your head, though? [00:58:03] Speaker A: For what? When we watch all these, we're getting. [00:58:05] Speaker B: Clockwork Orange because when we first came into it. Right. [00:58:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Whoa, Nate. Bargain. So good. [00:58:11] Speaker B: I think you had always been watching Christian Yuval. [00:58:15] Speaker A: He's got a lot of leisure time. He's a man of leisure, so he watches lots of shit. [00:58:20] Speaker B: For us, we'd stopped watching comedy. Right. For a long period of time. [00:58:24] Speaker A: Yeah. No, I don't watch anything. [00:58:26] Speaker B: So it was like a standing star. [00:58:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:58:29] Speaker B: I think it was easier to. It was easier to win us over. [00:58:34] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. [00:58:35] Speaker C: It was. [00:58:36] Speaker A: Diminishing returns. I see what you mean now. [00:58:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:40] Speaker A: Yeah. It was like Nate Bargazi. If we watched him now, we'd be like, yeah, it was okay. [00:58:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:44] Speaker A: So we might judge it a little more critically. It's like. Yeah, it's like a kid going to the circus. Oh. He gets all excited and then he goes a couple more times like, the circus sucks. [00:58:53] Speaker B: Yeah. So I'm worried that that might happen. [00:58:56] Speaker C: What? [00:58:56] Speaker A: No, I don't think that's happening at all. At least in terms of enjoyment. Like, I'm. I love this. [00:59:01] Speaker C: Right. [00:59:01] Speaker A: I think it's all dependent on, like, when you watch this. Right. Like watching Those couple at 6 in the morning that really did. I don't want to listen to this shit at six in the morning. [00:59:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:59:12] Speaker A: It's tough, right? Whether you're in a good place that day or not, whether you made love or you didn't make love for a month because some issue that you know somebody is having. Right. Whatever it may be, that's gonna affect how you like art. Right? [00:59:32] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:59:33] Speaker A: To the degree where you could watch this on one given day and love it and watch another and hate it. I don't know there's that much variance, but. Yeah. [00:59:41] Speaker B: Well, for me, most of how I judge a comedian is whether I view their material as trite. I switch off for chunks when I. [00:59:49] Speaker A: Hear you start to hear the. The common tropes. [00:59:52] Speaker B: I mean, when he. When, unfortunately for Michael Che, he hit. He said the term white women. I just. So many. I just switched. [01:00:02] Speaker A: You don't want to hear about. Because you're white and your woman is white. [01:00:06] Speaker B: No. [01:00:06] Speaker A: You don't want him. [01:00:07] Speaker B: I just. I feel like. Nah, that's such an easy One. Yeah. Ducks in a barrel. But so, you know, but that is built up over time. [01:00:17] Speaker A: White women are. You heard it here. White women to Mark are ducks in a barrel. [01:00:22] Speaker C: Quack, quack. [01:00:23] Speaker A: I don't know what that means, but good. [01:00:28] Speaker B: So. So as we watch more and more specials, my. My trike pile is accumulating because you're. [01:00:37] Speaker A: Becoming more familiar with what is. [01:00:39] Speaker C: What is trait. [01:00:40] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:00:41] Speaker A: But like we talked about with him, Michael Che, he did trite topics. All the topics were old hat, but he did. Did it so much better. So does that take away from. You're enjoying it? [01:00:56] Speaker B: No, no, it's gonna make it. [01:00:57] Speaker C: I appreciate it. [01:00:57] Speaker B: More harder to get to me. [01:01:02] Speaker A: Did Michael Che get to you? [01:01:04] Speaker B: Yes. Michael Che got to me because he, like, exactly like you said, tried stuff, but done intelligently and with a twist. [01:01:15] Speaker A: Who was that comedian? Remember you said you saw. Was it. Oh, Zizan Zari. Another listener wrote in. How could you have not paid him that hundred dollars to perform? [01:01:30] Speaker B: 200. It's a lot of money. $200 is a lot of money in my world. [01:01:36] Speaker A: I know. Would you pay. Would you have paid $200 for Michael Che back in the day? [01:01:45] Speaker B: Probably not. Unless. Unless I thought I'm gonna recoup. [01:01:49] Speaker A: Who's more rich? Michael Chair as. He's Ansari. [01:01:52] Speaker B: Aziz Ansari, I was told, has a. Has a private jet that he. Someone was telling me a story that they flew in Aziz Ansari's private jet. [01:02:03] Speaker C: Really? [01:02:03] Speaker A: Where's he getting all that money? Park and rec. [01:02:05] Speaker C: Parks and Rec. Yeah. [01:02:06] Speaker A: Oh, he's got parks and rec money. Okay. All right. So he did get to you. Yeah, yeah, he did get to you. [01:02:16] Speaker B: Yeah, It's. It's. [01:02:17] Speaker A: But you're still. Diminished returns. [01:02:20] Speaker B: Diminished returns. This is special. [01:02:22] Speaker A: If you had seen this one is the first one we reviewed, you would come in just all. All flutter about it. [01:02:29] Speaker B: I might have been. Yeah. [01:02:30] Speaker A: Yeah. The bar is being raised. [01:02:33] Speaker B: Yep. [01:02:33] Speaker A: Mark Erie bar of comedy is being raised. Mine is not. Mine stays the same. I don't. Yeah. [01:02:40] Speaker C: What's your vote? [01:02:41] Speaker A: Oh, what the. I love this guy. [01:02:45] Speaker C: All right. [01:02:46] Speaker A: Yeah, I love him. [01:02:49] Speaker B: Well, at least we don't have to air an apology next week. [01:02:51] Speaker C: That's. Yeah, well, you might. [01:02:53] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Because you said that stuff about it. [01:02:55] Speaker C: Racist joke. [01:02:57] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. ACLU on here. [01:03:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:03:02] Speaker A: Well, you have to go put your jack boots on and goose step out of here. [01:03:08] Speaker B: See, the funny thing is I edit it so I could remove that, and now people would be thinking, what are they talking about? [01:03:15] Speaker C: Yeah, they'll assume the worst. [01:03:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:17] Speaker A: As long as you took out that stuff about Ellen and the other stuff I said about the sandwich show. [01:03:22] Speaker B: I did pull the Ellen bit that you wanted me to pull. [01:03:24] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I don't want that out there. All right, well, that's three thumbs up. [01:03:32] Speaker C: Three bet. [01:03:32] Speaker A: Three. Three potato crisps. [01:03:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:03:37] Speaker A: Michael Shea. [01:03:38] Speaker C: Yeah, I forgot about that one. [01:03:39] Speaker B: That's Three Berets because it's Michael Che. [01:03:42] Speaker C: Three ducks in a barrel. [01:03:45] Speaker A: Yeah, I do want to know more. Well, let's wrap it up. But maybe. Yeah. Who are you looking at? [01:03:50] Speaker C: Next week we are going to move to a comedian that has a special that just came out last September. It is on YouTube so it'll be easy to find. His name is Ian Edwards and the sounds white. The title of the. Speaking of two first names, right? Almost. Edwards with the S at the end.

Back when I had Instagram, he had like a roommates video thing that he would shoot and I thought that was always pretty funny. And I've seen some of his stand up and I liked it. And this is his latest special, so let's check it out. [01:04:46] Speaker B: The name Ian Edwards seems familiar, but that's because half of England is called Ian Edwards. Ian Edwards is a British, Jamaican, American stand up comedian. Gets around. [01:04:57] Speaker C: Wow. Yeah. [01:04:58] Speaker B: What a mix to have been to have been a native of three different places all. [01:05:03] Speaker A: I'm looking forward to this. [01:05:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:05:05] Speaker A: Who tipped you off on this? Oh, Blackish. [01:05:08] Speaker C: Yeah. I was just thinking about who do I want to watch? And. And he just kind of crossed my mind.

If you want to curve me expanding your horizons, I'm introducing you to new things that you wouldn't experience. [01:06:28] Speaker A: That's what I love. That's why I hated those mean white races comedians that you were. I don't know why you would do that. Like, why would you want to sit through those mean guys, Those racist white guys? [01:06:40] Speaker C: You told me off mic. That's what you really wanted. [01:06:42] Speaker B: No, hang on. You walked that back. [01:06:45] Speaker A: What?
