Review: One night Stand, Norm Macdonald

[00:00:10] Speaker A: No, that's not true. [00:00:11] Speaker B: Yes. [00:00:13] Speaker A: I walked in at 12:10 and he was already. [00:00:15] Speaker C: I was already here. And then we just sat there in silence while you, you know, told story after story to Kelsey. Poor thing had to listen to all that. She don't want to hear all those [00:00:27] Speaker B: stories for the 20 minutes that you were late. I was already. [00:00:31] Speaker C: Now it's 20. [00:00:32] Speaker B: I was. Yeah. [00:00:34] Speaker C: Even though it was less than 10. [00:00:35] Speaker A: Bill, you're not even here yet. [00:00:36] Speaker B: I was yawning. [00:00:39] Speaker C: You were yarning. Yeah. You're telling yarn. [00:00:40] Speaker B: That's part of the reason I get depressed about talking, because once I start, I can't stop. [00:00:44] Speaker C: Yeah. What's up with that? Have you seen a therapist about that? [00:00:49] Speaker B: No, I've never seen a therapist. [00:00:50] Speaker C: You've never gone to a therapist? Don't believe in it? Like Tom Cruise? [00:00:54] Speaker B: No, I'm not American. [00:00:57] Speaker C: The British don't go to see therapists? No. [00:01:01] Speaker B: No. [00:01:01] Speaker A: That's why they're doing so well. [00:01:03] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:01:04] Speaker B: You know what I always say. [00:01:05] Speaker C: So no dentists, no therapists. [00:01:07] Speaker B: What. [00:01:07] Speaker C: What other healthcare do they. [00:01:10] Speaker B: You know what I always say, if you go to see a therapist, you must want your head examining. [00:01:15] Speaker C: Head examining. Examined. [00:01:19] Speaker B: Examining. [00:01:19] Speaker C: Yeah, your head examining. What do you mean, like a. [00:01:22] Speaker B: Well, that's a common expression. You think, you say to people, you. You pay that for groceries. You must want the headache. Your head examining. You go to that pub, you must want your head examining. [00:01:33] Speaker C: I don't follow. Do you? [00:01:34] Speaker B: So the joke is, what do you go for to a therapist for head examining. Exactly. [00:01:42] Speaker C: What does that have to do with going to the grocery store for head examining? [00:01:47] Speaker B: If you do X. [00:01:49] Speaker C: Yes. [00:01:49] Speaker B: You must want your head examining is a common expression around. [00:01:53] Speaker C: We have an expression like that where we'll deride somebody who is saying something nonsense. [00:02:01] Speaker A: Right. [00:02:01] Speaker C: You say, you ought to have your second head examine. What's wrong with you? [00:02:04] Speaker A: You're being so British. [00:02:05] Speaker C: Yeah, but that's different than the way you said it. You said head examining. [00:02:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:12] Speaker C: You ought to have your head examined, [00:02:14] Speaker A: meaning you're an idiot. Yeah. [00:02:17] Speaker C: Like have your head exam, whatever. [00:02:19] Speaker B: Yeah, it's the same. [00:02:19] Speaker C: We're saying not examining. [00:02:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Because then the head is doing the examining. [00:02:23] Speaker C: Yeah, examining. [00:02:25] Speaker A: Then your head is. [00:02:26] Speaker B: Your head's doing the action, saying the word examining. Examine. [00:02:29] Speaker C: I don't even think that's a word. [00:02:30] Speaker B: Examining comes weird, doesn't it? [00:02:33] Speaker A: Well, because I don't think it exists. [00:02:35] Speaker C: There's an examining process going on. [00:02:37] Speaker B: You must want your head examining. Are we gonna Google it right here in front of our thousands I mean, [00:02:45] Speaker A: it's not like I don't think anybody's saying. It doesn't. That people don't say it. It just doesn't make sense. [00:02:50] Speaker C: It didn't make sense about the grocery store. [00:02:54] Speaker B: That was just an example because you're [00:02:57] Speaker C: paying too much for groceries. You gotta have your head examining. [00:02:59] Speaker B: Exactly. [00:03:02] Speaker A: I think if you say you have to have your head examining, you need your head examined. [00:03:06] Speaker C: Welcome to another episode of British Talk. Here with authority and all things British. Mark Geary, Google. [00:03:17] Speaker B: Google is now telling me how to prep for my head examining rather than just saying, yes, that's a common. [00:03:23] Speaker C: What do you need to do? [00:03:25] Speaker B: Avoid last minute cramming. No, this is study habits. [00:03:29] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Examining. [00:03:30] Speaker B: Oh, it cut off the head. You must want your head examining. [00:03:36] Speaker C: Google. Oh, boy. I like when we talk about what you eat better than this. But British talk will go where British talk goes. It could go to the bog. It could go to head examining. You just never know where British talk will lead you. When British things keep coming out that we don't understand, we have to, you know, dive a little deeper. [00:04:01] Speaker B: Google's not really solving the issue for another day. [00:04:04] Speaker C: Google, you're like, can we get to [00:04:07] Speaker B: the complaining about cell phones bit of the show? [00:04:11] Speaker C: Well, I there, I maybe don't have any complaints because you tell me, Christian, what has been solved on your end where you can now receive the group text? [00:04:21] Speaker A: I searched on the Internet. Why can't I receive group texts? And there was information out there and instructions on what to change in the settings and I followed those instructions and [00:04:29] Speaker C: now you get them all. [00:04:29] Speaker A: Bang, boom. Yep. [00:04:30] Speaker C: And you're getting photos and videos and everything. [00:04:33] Speaker A: Videos, links to your YouTube, everything. Yeah. [00:04:35] Speaker C: Really? [00:04:36] Speaker B: It's like a whole world is opened up. [00:04:38] Speaker C: That is. So now I like the idea of the flip phone. If you can get all that, you still have to toggle through the texting feature. Right. Like, you can't text very easily, but [00:04:49] Speaker A: yeah, yeah, receive T9. Yeah, T9. You know how long it took me to type the word compensating? How long my walk here? Two blocks. [00:04:58] Speaker C: Come on. [00:04:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I had to keep looking up [00:04:59] Speaker C: because you were spelling it wrong. Does it help you with the spelling? [00:05:02] Speaker A: You have to kind of count in your head how many times they hit this to get an M. How many times did you get this to get an O? [00:05:07] Speaker C: That's. There's got to be a way around that for the. [00:05:09] Speaker A: See, I don't want a way around that. That's. I'm fine with just selective texting. [00:05:13] Speaker C: All Right. Well, it's good to have you back on the group text. [00:05:15] Speaker A: Well, thank. Yeah, it's. It's very nice to be rejoined. [00:05:19] Speaker C: Yeah. So you were. You. You were offended yesterday when I said, dad, talk to the British guy, because I don't want to have. I don't feel like I should have to text you and then send a separate text to the British guy. I said, talk to the British guy. See what he says. And you're like, why should I have to talk to him? And then you sent me his. [00:05:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Just in case you lost his number. [00:05:35] Speaker C: You know, I didn't lose it, but I didn't know you were on. I forgot you were on. [00:05:38] Speaker A: The reason you're telling me to do it, here's his number. You could do it. [00:05:42] Speaker C: That was very snarky. You could have said, like, I'm back on group text, remember? Oh, yeah, yeah. Here's his contact info. Why do I need to talk to him? But aren't you here with him anyway? Because isn't it easy to be like, hey, what? [00:05:53] Speaker A: I was at home. Yeah. [00:05:55] Speaker C: What hours do you keep in this place? [00:05:57] Speaker A: Who knows? [00:05:58] Speaker C: You got a set schedule? Or he just get his beck and kind of. [00:06:01] Speaker A: Kind of like, it's. Yeah, it's. It's semi set every week. [00:06:06] Speaker C: Will you ever be at home enjoying your home and watching TV or whatever, and you get a call from him like, ah, get in here. Pipe burst, and then you have to run in. [00:06:16] Speaker A: No, Mark never bothers me with stuff like that. I'll get. I'll get texts from other staff members that need attention right away. So I'll pull myself away for a second. [00:06:23] Speaker C: He leaves you be then. [00:06:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:25] Speaker C: So as far as bosses go, you would regard him as your boss? [00:06:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:06:29] Speaker C: What rating would you give him on a scale of 1 to 10? 10 being the best boss in the world? [00:06:35] Speaker A: No, I don't want to do this. [00:06:36] Speaker B: I'm not a boss. [00:06:37] Speaker A: Well, yeah, he's in a. Like, Right. He doesn't like boss people. [00:06:41] Speaker C: He. [00:06:42] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. It's a weird. It's a weird situation. He's not like a boss that will, like, tell you you have to do this, this, this and this. Basically, I think everyone understands there's a job to be done. Mark started it, so he's like the head figure. [00:06:55] Speaker C: So you would describe his managerial style as rather hands off. [00:06:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:59] Speaker C: Yes. You empower your employees to do the job. [00:07:04] Speaker B: And I'm not a boss. [00:07:06] Speaker C: Why you say that? [00:07:07] Speaker B: Because I don't get any money. [00:07:09] Speaker C: You get money. You draw A salary from this? [00:07:11] Speaker B: No. [00:07:11] Speaker C: What? [00:07:12] Speaker B: We're not going that. God damn. [00:07:14] Speaker A: That's why he does the again. [00:07:17] Speaker C: We haven't gone down this highway. [00:07:19] Speaker A: Life is a highway. Did you know that? [00:07:21] Speaker C: I think we've turned as good mood. [00:07:23] Speaker B: I don't want to ride this all night long, I'll tell you that. [00:07:25] Speaker C: All right. All right. Have a Red Vine. [00:07:29] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Who brought those? The big jug of liquor? [00:07:31] Speaker C: Who do you think? The great benefactor. [00:07:34] Speaker B: Is this meant to be like a Lego type situation on top? [00:07:38] Speaker C: It's quite a tub of Red Vine, I'll tell you. [00:07:41] Speaker B: A lot of heartburn sitting right there. [00:07:43] Speaker C: A lot of gelatin or whatever might be in there. [00:07:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that's. Would you consider. What [00:07:52] Speaker C: were you gonna say about the Red Vine? It's just. [00:07:55] Speaker A: Yeah, I was gonna agree with that. It's a jug of sugar and dye. [00:08:00] Speaker C: Yeah. Red number five, you think? [00:08:01] Speaker A: But I didn't want to disparage it because I love licorice sticks like that. Hey, remember we actually talked about licorice root on this podcast one time? [00:08:08] Speaker C: Sure. I don't remember, but I don't remember any of the episodes. I'm always in the present. [00:08:12] Speaker B: Well, even though you're always listening to them like a raging narcissist, do you [00:08:16] Speaker C: think it's narcissistic to listen to them? [00:08:18] Speaker A: That's actually how I know, because I just listened to that episode recently. [00:08:20] Speaker C: How do we get better at it? It's like, listen to your sets. [00:08:23] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:08:23] Speaker C: You got to listen to see what works, what doesn't work. [00:08:25] Speaker A: I never used to listen until I was like. We needed to have, like, ongoing themes. Every week. I have to remember what happened last week or a couple weeks. I can't stand listening to myself, though. That's. That's. That's difficult. Oh, I. I just it up, didn't I? Because I wanted my whole thing to be. I only want to listen to myself. That's what I said last week. [00:08:42] Speaker C: See what? [00:08:43] Speaker A: Can we start over? [00:08:44] Speaker C: He'll edit it in post. Well, do you think a Red vine is a knockoff or like a low version of Twizzler? Or it's. It's on equal footing with Twizzler. [00:08:55] Speaker A: Yeah. What came first? [00:08:56] Speaker C: Don't know. [00:08:57] Speaker A: Is Twizzler like Kleenex? [00:08:58] Speaker C: Yeah. This could be a knock. Red wine could be above Twizzler. I don't know. [00:09:04] Speaker A: I'll bet. You know, the. The whippy ones. The. Like the. You know, the real thin, hard ones. You know, I'm talking about that. [00:09:11] Speaker C: Don't twist what, thin, hard ones? [00:09:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:14] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, the whips. [00:09:15] Speaker A: Yeah, the whips. [00:09:16] Speaker B: I like those. [00:09:16] Speaker A: Those are great. I bet those came first. [00:09:19] Speaker B: Normally, if something's the first, they want to brag about it. And red wine says original red twists, but. [00:09:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Does that mean they're the first? What about the original Pancake house? There's like 17 of those in every state. Which one's the first? [00:09:35] Speaker C: Do some research on that. But maybe they seem more old timey than a Twizzler to me. They're softer. I was at the Jewels over the weekend getting ready for the Oscars. I had a big Oscar party. You guys weren't. [00:09:48] Speaker B: Oh, that's weird. Yeah. I didn't see that text. [00:09:51] Speaker C: Yeah, you didn't get about it. [00:09:52] Speaker A: Was it in the group text before I fixed my settings? [00:09:54] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, that's why you didn't get it. And [00:09:58] Speaker B: who was that? [00:09:59] Speaker C: Bill Begain from Begain Construction and his wife. And we had a red carpet. [00:10:07] Speaker B: You should add a red backsplash on the floor and could have walked it. [00:10:10] Speaker C: Speaking of backsplash, I'm gonna see if I can get him in here in the next couple weeks. He's got to take a look at that piss splash because the. That I finally got into. [00:10:19] Speaker B: It's an embarrassment. [00:10:20] Speaker C: It's an embarrassment even for you. [00:10:22] Speaker A: I thought. I thought I did a pretty good job. [00:10:23] Speaker C: You did it. [00:10:24] Speaker A: I did the grouting. [00:10:25] Speaker C: Oh. It's not even. It's not even married the tiles. There's big gap. [00:10:32] Speaker A: Oh, where that metal thing is. Yeah. [00:10:35] Speaker B: So I looked at the metal thing and I was like, you know, I could do this. Right. [00:10:40] Speaker C: So you did it. [00:10:41] Speaker B: I could do this. Right. But it's another three days. [00:10:45] Speaker A: And really, when you think about it, the metals blocking the wall anyway, that's kind of what I figured when I saw it. [00:10:49] Speaker B: And I was like, three days. Because certain lazy bastards can't be asked to get their piss in the thing. I'm gonna lose three days on this planet. Because. [00:11:03] Speaker C: Why would it take three days? [00:11:05] Speaker B: Because the metal needs to be recessed. [00:11:08] Speaker C: You have to take the metal off. [00:11:09] Speaker B: No, no, no. The metal has to be there because it's the only thing holding the holds. [00:11:13] Speaker A: That little half wall partition. [00:11:15] Speaker B: Yeah. And so the way to do it properly would have been to kind of cut into the plaster enough so that the metal lay flush and then I could tile over it. But then the next time some guerrilla dipshit comes in and rips that partition off the wall, how am I going to put it back on when the metal Is now behind tile. [00:11:41] Speaker A: Which has happened before, by the way. Somebody has ripped that off the wall. [00:11:45] Speaker C: So do you find that any piss is getting in between the tiles there? Where? [00:11:49] Speaker A: No, I keep trying. [00:11:50] Speaker C: No, not happening. [00:11:51] Speaker A: Yeah, tight fit. [00:11:54] Speaker B: Part of a piss splash is deterrence though. [00:11:58] Speaker C: What do you mean? Someone sees the piss splashing like I'm not gonna piss on the wall like I was gonna. Cuz that's there. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure that's it. It's a deterrent for guys who want to piss on the wall. Hey, Piss on the Wall. That was a song. You know who sang that song? Very popular song when I was a youth. [00:12:14] Speaker B: They Might Be Giants. [00:12:15] Speaker C: No, Jay Giles Band. Piss on the Wall. Piss on the Wall. No, that's not. [00:12:20] Speaker B: You thinking of breaking the law? [00:12:22] Speaker C: Yeah, I was thinking of breaking the law, yeah. That's Jews. [00:12:24] Speaker A: No way. Really? [00:12:25] Speaker C: The Piss on the Wall. Piss on the Wall. [00:12:31] Speaker B: Jake Giles had more than one song? [00:12:34] Speaker C: I don't know. Freeze Frame Centerfold. [00:12:36] Speaker B: Centerfold was the only song. But I'm God, I'm sick. You know songs like that now and you think, God, if I have to hear that one more. [00:12:45] Speaker C: You wouldn't want to hear that song. [00:12:46] Speaker B: No. [00:12:46] Speaker C: Well, you don't hear it anymore. No one. [00:12:49] Speaker B: You do when you have satellite radio like me. [00:12:51] Speaker C: What channel are you listening to on that? 80s. [00:12:53] Speaker B: Well sure, 80s on 8. [00:12:56] Speaker C: Martha Stewart on there, still working. Disc jockey. Martha Stewart. Didn't she work in satellite radio when she's an MTV disc jockey? Mark Curry. Not from Mr. Cooper. Mark Curry. [00:13:07] Speaker B: No, no, I still get. I listened to Casey K. Sam do the Top American Top 40. He's dead every Saturday on 70s channel. [00:13:17] Speaker C: But he's dead. [00:13:18] Speaker A: He takes him ahead of time. [00:13:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:20] Speaker C: Oh, he does amazing for runs of it, yeah. Geez, that's easy programming. [00:13:24] Speaker B: That's what Casey made. Casey case and millions. Right. Is he actually can. I thought he controlled or is that Dick Clark? [00:13:32] Speaker C: Huh? Kate? No, Dick Clark was American Bandstand. [00:13:38] Speaker B: I think Casey k was top 40. Came up with the idea of it though. [00:13:43] Speaker C: Of the top 40 of doing the top 40. His wife was Jean Kasum, you know, Jean Casem. Tall, leggy blonde, very long blonde hair. [00:13:53] Speaker B: I saw it on Wikipedia one time when I was looking here up. Yeah. [00:13:57] Speaker C: And she used to make semi regular appearances on Cheers. She. She'd mosey into the bar for whatever reason. [00:14:04] Speaker B: Was she Nick. What's his name? Bimbo, maybe Nick who was Carl. [00:14:09] Speaker C: Carl's ex husband, Maybe Nick. Nick DiGiorgio? No, Nick Papadopoulos. [00:14:16] Speaker A: The one that was A goalie for the Bruins. [00:14:18] Speaker B: No, that was a. [00:14:19] Speaker C: That was Eddie LeBeck. [00:14:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:20] Speaker B: And he was the. The boyfriend. [00:14:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:23] Speaker B: Of her. [00:14:24] Speaker A: I thought that. I thought he was the husband of Carla. No, he was. [00:14:28] Speaker C: Well, the. The actor is Dan Hadiah from. [00:14:31] Speaker B: Eddie lebeck might have become her husband, but he appeared as her love interest. [00:14:37] Speaker C: Carla's. [00:14:37] Speaker B: Carla's ex husband would show up every now and again with a tall, leggy blonde. [00:14:43] Speaker C: That's her. [00:14:44] Speaker B: That's her, right? [00:14:44] Speaker C: Yeah. Jean Kasem. I always wondered how little Casey. Casey could get such a tall, leggy blonde. [00:14:53] Speaker B: You know, maybe she's a big Scooby Doo fan. [00:14:56] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. He was the voice of Scooby Doo. [00:14:57] Speaker A: Was he really? [00:14:58] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:58] Speaker B: Well, he was the voice of Shaggy. [00:15:00] Speaker C: Shaggy? [00:15:01] Speaker A: Really? [00:15:02] Speaker C: I. I've often been. [00:15:03] Speaker B: Play Shaggy in your head. [00:15:07] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know if I can. I can't think of what he sounds like. [00:15:12] Speaker C: Zoinks. People have often said I look like Shaggy. Do you think that? [00:15:18] Speaker A: No. [00:15:18] Speaker B: What the. The Jamaican reggae star? [00:15:21] Speaker C: No, Shaggy from the. The program. Scooby Doo.

[00:15:31] Speaker C: Is it storm air or storm Mari. I want to say Stormari. Well, he's storm air. [00:15:35] Speaker B: Scandinavian. That's why I'm basing it Stormt. [00:15:39] Speaker C: All right. Did you guys watch the Oscars? Speaking of Scandinavian. [00:15:42] Speaker A: Nope. No? [00:15:43] Speaker C: No. You don't care about it. [00:15:44] Speaker A: I watched the next day. I watched Conan's monologue and the thing he did to open with weapons. Yeah, Yeah. I thought it was pretty good. I loved it. [00:15:52] Speaker C: That was good. Yeah, he was pretty good. Coney. [00:15:54] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, he's always good at whatever he does. [00:15:57] Speaker C: He's solid. [00:15:58] Speaker A: I saw him one time as the distinguished speaker at University of Buffalo. [00:16:02] Speaker C: Really? [00:16:02] Speaker A: Yeah. He was a distinguished speaker of the year. [00:16:04] Speaker C: He was a commencement speaker. [00:16:06] Speaker A: I don't know what that means, but yeah, he came in and he would be very serious and he would say a lot of insightful things for a while and then he would pretend to fall off the stage. [00:16:15] Speaker C: Do a prat fall. [00:16:16] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, he's good for a Pratt fall. Yeah, just all around entertainer. [00:16:21] Speaker C: I had beguine construction over for the Oscars. They came, we filled out the ballots and ordered high end Mediterranean food catered for the event from where we dressed up. Senya. You familiar with Senior? A couple locations. One over on Damon and Rot in Belmont. And in the middle of the program began construction was whisked away because of the rain to take care of one of his Many high end homes. [00:16:51] Speaker A: What was wrong with the home Came back. Was it leaking? [00:16:54] Speaker C: I don't know. He doesn't have those kind of problems. It was a damsel in distress type of situation. [00:17:00] Speaker B: I bet she was cooking spaghetti, was worried that the sauce would boil and splash onto the wall and he had to do an emergency. Emergency backsplash next to me. [00:17:15] Speaker C: Backsplashectomy. Yeah. I could have been. I had. He disappeared in the middle of the program and never returned. [00:17:21] Speaker A: So he didn't give you any details. I want to know. [00:17:24] Speaker C: No, I haven't. I haven't heard from him since. [00:17:26] Speaker A: Oh, really? Ever since then. [00:17:28] Speaker C: No, no, I know, I know. [00:17:30] Speaker A: Do you think he was upset about something? [00:17:32] Speaker C: Yeah, something. He was upset about having to leave the party and he didn't even eat. And I spent all that money on that high end food. Yeah. All right, so you didn't watch that. What else you did. What else did you do anything this weekend if. If you didn't watch the Oscars. What do you guys do on the weekend? [00:17:50] Speaker A: Yeah, what did I do? I know I did something. [00:17:52] Speaker B: It's my missus's birthday. [00:17:54] Speaker C: It was. [00:17:55] Speaker B: Yeah, so it was on birthday. [00:17:57] Speaker C: What day? [00:17:58] Speaker B: On the Friday. [00:18:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:18:01] Speaker B: So we had low end Middle Eastern food from where? Salaam on Kedsi. [00:18:08] Speaker C: Never heard of it. Sounds low end. [00:18:10] Speaker B: Yep. And then. [00:18:13] Speaker C: Okay. [00:18:13] Speaker B: And then Saturday we went for a curry. Oh, just around the corner from you. So you know where that is. [00:18:20] Speaker C: You went to Dantaraz or you went to. You went to. That place is good. [00:18:24] Speaker B: Big fans. Big fans of the Dantaraz. But the only issue we had is, but they're such nice people. We didn't get all Karen about it. [00:18:33] Speaker C: Very nice. [00:18:33] Speaker B: Took very. It took a long time to come. And I said, you know, just all the brown bags going out. [00:18:40] Speaker C: Yeah. Because they're busy with that, but they're not busy with who's sitting in the restaurant. [00:18:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Because they don't get fined, you know, 20 bucks for that. And I was like, yeah, is this right? Like these lazy gets that are just sitting at home going, ah, it's snowing out. I'm not going, let's order. Why should we, the live people get the rough end of the pineapple. [00:19:05] Speaker C: No, you shouldn't. You should get the priority. You're sitting in the restaurant. [00:19:07] Speaker B: Yep. [00:19:08] Speaker C: I agree. And I. But I had the opposite experience on Friday when me and my family went to Jimmy's Pizza Cafe. What I think is the best pizza in the city. And it's always packed and we usually get takeout but we usually. But we. This time we went and sat and dined in and it was packed. But we got a table ordered the pizza came right out. Came faster than if I had ordered it to go. So they gave us the opposite experience. They prioritized our dining in experience. How about you, champ? What did you do this weekend? [00:19:38] Speaker A: Yes, I had an odd weekend off, so I just kind of did catching up on all the loose ends I had in my life. I had a lot of jazz piano to practice. Got after that for a while. Me and the missus did hang out on Saturday for a while while we both had some free time, but it was pretty low key. I didn't do much. The weather wasn't very cooperative to be out there. You know, I like to get on my bike and be out by the lake when I can. Yeah, but it wasn't. It wasn't happening this weekend, so I took advantage of some inside time. [00:20:12] Speaker C: We had every type of weather last week, didn't we? We had highs, the lows in betweens. We had those mega hails. We didn't. Oh, that was. Suburbs got hailstones, right. [00:20:20] Speaker A: That's a. Softballs. [00:20:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:22] Speaker A: I saw Demetrius Ivory on the news, was showing pictures. Pretty crazy. [00:20:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:28] Speaker C: And now it's just freezing again. We're back to. Back to winter. Dead of winter. Well, I'm here under duress, I guess you'd say. I'm watching my phone very distracted because I'm on call at work. [00:20:41] Speaker A: Is there a chance that at any moment you could. [00:20:43] Speaker C: There's a chance at any moment I [00:20:44] Speaker A: will have to leave Batman out of here. [00:20:46] Speaker C: So I'm just doing this, and you two will carry on like we did. When you left to lug the beer around that day, I thought you were [00:20:56] Speaker B: going, like, down to Daytona [00:21:00] Speaker A: Friday. [00:21:01] Speaker C: And I'm very worried about that as well, because, you know, nobody at TSA is being paid and they're all calling off sick, and it's leading to unpredictable long lines at the security checkout or security check in. [00:21:14] Speaker A: Why aren't they being paid? [00:21:15] Speaker C: Because of the partial government shutdown. They're federal workers, and the Democrats are playing hardball. They don't want to sign anything because they want Trump to get rid of ice. And Trump's like, well, f you, I'm not getting rid of ice. I'm not signing. You know, I'm not doing that. So they're at a standstill, these government workers. They're not getting paid. They don't make much money anyway. And so it's leading to havoc at the what? The TSA workers. They make, like, 30 grand a year. [00:21:41] Speaker B: No, Jeff. Anyway. [00:21:43] Speaker C: Yeah, 38 grand a year. [00:21:45] Speaker B: No, I'm not gonna believe that. [00:21:47] Speaker C: You think the person that scans your boarding pass is making more than $38,000 a year? Yeah, that's what I heard. So I'm nervous. I gotta get there three hours early. [00:22:03] Speaker A: Well, at least, you know, it's fun being in the airport for three hours. [00:22:06] Speaker C: Like, being in the airport. I don't really like traveling. [00:22:09] Speaker B: How many. How many youths are you chaperoning? [00:22:13] Speaker C: Two utes. [00:22:14] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:15] Speaker C: The two utes. Remember that? [00:22:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:17] Speaker A: Yep. [00:22:18] Speaker C: Taking two utes down to Miami Beach. I'm gonna unveil my body down there and walk around in front of my Utes and try to get old. [00:22:26] Speaker B: Are you gonna allow the Utes to cut loose? [00:22:29] Speaker C: They can do whatever they want. They're. They're very chaste. [00:22:33] Speaker A: You're gonna rent a 1967 Buick Skylark. [00:22:36] Speaker C: Oh, that'd be cool. [00:22:37] Speaker A: In metallic mint green. [00:22:38] Speaker C: No, I'll be. No car down there. I'm just landing on south beach and then walk a little. Scooter, maybe. [00:22:44] Speaker A: Scooter action. [00:22:44] Speaker C: That would be fun. [00:22:45] Speaker A: Rent some rollerblades. [00:22:47] Speaker C: I don't know how. [00:22:48] Speaker A: You just walk up to the counter and ask. [00:22:49] Speaker C: No, I don't know how to ride them. I know how to. Or rent them. I don't know how to. I can't stay up on them. Not a good skater. Is it harder to rollerblade than ice skate? [00:22:58] Speaker A: No, it's harder to ice skateboard. [00:23:00] Speaker C: Really? [00:23:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:00] Speaker C: Okay, well, maybe I'll just get regular. [00:23:02] Speaker A: It's more slippery. And I'm not, like, trying to joke. It's. Seriously. Yeah, it's harder to stop, too. [00:23:07] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:23:07] Speaker B: You don't see people rollerblading anymore, do you? [00:23:10] Speaker C: No, because it's. [00:23:11] Speaker A: No, I still do all the time, and. [00:23:14] Speaker C: You do. [00:23:15] Speaker A: Oh, boy. Do I get. Do I get lost? Do I hear it from the gang? [00:23:20] Speaker C: Yeah. What gang are you talking about? In here? You rollerblade in here? [00:23:23] Speaker A: Yeah. Up and down the hallway. That's how I get my steps in. Get my Rolls. No, I. You know, I got friends that make fun of me for rollerblading. [00:23:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:23:33] Speaker A: And, you know, I think they're right, but I'm gonna do it anyway. [00:23:36] Speaker C: Why do they make fun of it? Because it's. [00:23:38] Speaker A: Because. Stupid joke from the 90s of, how do you tell your parents you're gay? Start rollerblading. [00:23:47] Speaker C: So it's considered effeminate. [00:23:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Right. But I've been skating my Whole life, so, you know, not going to let one dumb joke. [00:23:53] Speaker C: It's a good workout. I hear it's a good workout. [00:23:55] Speaker A: It is. Yeah. Yeah, it really works out your. Your legs. [00:24:01] Speaker C: Well, you got to stay healthy. And the real reason I'm underdressed is I just came from my annual physical this morning, and I had a blood panel done, and by the time I got home, the results were already delivered to me. I couldn't believe it. Usually you have to wait a day or two for the doctor to call you. I looked at your thing here. It looks all fine. Whatever this. Maybe do this. But immediately they came to me. Abnormal blood results. [00:24:28] Speaker A: Like, what's abnormal about it? [00:24:30] Speaker C: Well, I've been concerned. You know, every week I'm in here, I'm all bundled up, and I'm always cold, and I always. Oh. [00:24:35] Speaker A: Are you anemic? [00:24:36] Speaker C: I don't think so. [00:24:38] Speaker B: Vegetarianism. [00:24:39] Speaker C: Well, that's what I thought, but my blood levels are okay. But there's something abnormal called my anion gap. Are you familiar with the anion gap? [00:24:50] Speaker A: I think so. [00:24:51] Speaker C: What? [00:24:52] Speaker A: You tell me. [00:24:53] Speaker C: Why are you smirking about it? [00:24:54] Speaker A: I don't know if I'm right. [00:24:55] Speaker C: It's not a sexual thing. [00:24:56] Speaker A: No. [00:24:58] Speaker C: I don't even know how to explain it, but it's like the gap between your acidic blood levels and your alkalinic blood levels. And mine is very low, which is rare. So it could be one of two things. One lab error, which is very common with the anion gap, or multiple myeloma. So I'm sitting here talking to you, but all I can think about is the cancer that is ravaging my body. At this point, I'm a ticking time bomb. [00:25:28] Speaker A: Start rollerblading. [00:25:29] Speaker C: Yeah, I think that'll help. [00:25:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:32] Speaker B: Protein shake. [00:25:33] Speaker A: I'll teach you how. [00:25:34] Speaker C: I was kind of hoping. I don't want to learn how to rollerblade. I was kind of hoping he'd say, you must eat meat. Then I'd have to be like, I have to eat roast beef sandwich, hamburger. I'd go fucking crazy. [00:25:47] Speaker B: Who are you now? Not eating meat for me. [00:25:49] Speaker C: Ethical reasons. But. But if I was doctored, ordered to eat it, I begrudgingly have to eat that hamburger. But no, I wasn't anemic. My. My blood counts good. [00:26:02] Speaker B: But I don't trust American doctors. [00:26:04] Speaker A: Yeah, they have to get their head examining. [00:26:07] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. [00:26:08] Speaker C: Mine's Korean. My guy's Korean. Q. Jung Lee. Been my doctor for 25 years. [00:26:14] Speaker B: Huh. Here's how I see American medicine. Okay. In England, every Year, you have to take your car for what's called anot. Ministry of Transport. [00:26:26] Speaker C: Like an emissions test? [00:26:27] Speaker B: No, it's more than that. They look at everything in your car. The complete safety package. [00:26:33] Speaker C: Really? [00:26:34] Speaker B: Yes. Like, you can't have, like, rust on the sills or anything like that. [00:26:38] Speaker C: It's like this because it's an eyesore. They don't want eyesores on the road. [00:26:41] Speaker B: No, they want it. They want it to be safe. They want them to not snap in half. And so, because I remember when I first came to America and I saw one of those cars driving down the street, it's just the. The skeleton of panels with his rust hanging off. [00:26:56] Speaker C: Like a Mad Max car. [00:26:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, how the. Are they driving around and then someone says, we don't inspect cars in America. Jesus Christ. That's just a fascist state. Expecting your vehicle to be safe and drivable. Jesus Christ. So in England, they have an mot. The problem with the MOT is, therefore, now the garage has. You buy the Jaffers, right? Because they. [00:27:18] Speaker C: Wait a minute, hold on. Jaffers? [00:27:19] Speaker A: We've done Jaffers. [00:27:20] Speaker B: Yeah, we've done that. You got them by the Jaffa safe to say that, right? So you go to the garage. If the garage says, well, we're failing the MOT on this, you know, you've got some rust on the sills or whatever it needs to be welded, they've got you. [00:27:34] Speaker C: You can't get it registered. It's not legal. [00:27:36] Speaker B: It's not legal. So you got to pony up, Right? [00:27:39] Speaker C: What does this have to do with my cancer? Please. [00:27:41] Speaker B: That's what your doctor is doing to you. He's doing. [00:27:44] Speaker C: You got me by the Jaffers. [00:27:46] Speaker B: He went, you. You went for an mot. And he's like, how do I take this guy to the cleaners? I got to make some up. [00:27:52] Speaker A: He's got you. [00:27:53] Speaker C: Wants to get money out of me. [00:27:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:55] Speaker C: No, wait. Speaking of the Jaffers, he, you know, did he grab. [00:27:58] Speaker B: Did he. [00:27:59] Speaker C: No, he asked about coffin drop. No, I was kind of disappointed. I. He just. He says, are you regular? And I said, oh, yeah, yeah, regular. He's like, how about your genitals? I go, good. That was it. That's not very comprehensive. [00:28:12] Speaker B: He sure isn't just asking to see them. [00:28:14] Speaker C: No, he didn't ask to see them or reach for them. He's kind of disappointed. [00:28:20] Speaker B: Text him a picture. [00:28:21] Speaker A: What's he asking you for? He's the doctor. [00:28:22] Speaker C: I know, but he doesn't do very. I don't know. [00:28:25] Speaker A: That's why I'm talking to you. [00:28:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:27] Speaker C: If I anticipated him reaching for the Jaffers to examine them, I would have to stop and be like, I need to take a nice, warm bath first so he could really feel what they're like. [00:28:37] Speaker A: You have a bathtub in the back? [00:28:38] Speaker C: Yeah. Do you have a warm bath I could soak in before you examine me? Because I want you to get the real. The real. Look at them. You know, they're all up inside me if I don't get a warm bath. Right? [00:28:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:51] Speaker C: If you ever make love to a woman, make sure you take a nice, long, warm bath first because it really endows you in the testicles and in the penal shaft. Makes you. It doubles the size of your unit. It's square footage. Doubles. So, yeah. So I don't know. I mean, this could be my last show if the annual Gap thing is legit. And I'll be up on blocks, as they say, for quite some time, and I'll be under. [00:29:23] Speaker A: When do you find out? [00:29:24] Speaker C: I don't know. I keep hitting the thing and it's not getting back to me. [00:29:28] Speaker B: Oh, I thought you were looking at your phone because you were gonna go to this. Do your job. [00:29:33] Speaker C: Yeah, well, I'm looking at that and. And my doctor, Dr. John Lee. [00:29:39] Speaker A: Dr. Vinny Boombats. [00:29:40] Speaker C: Dr. Vinny Boom Bots. Q. Jung. John Lee. So, yeah, well, get your physicals right. Because you don't know what your annual Gap is. Have you gotten your annual. You have anyone look at your Jaffers? You don't go in. [00:29:52] Speaker B: No, I'm not less pressed to by the Mrs. Yeah. [00:29:56] Speaker C: Because she. She. [00:29:58] Speaker B: She doesn't want me to die, apparently. [00:30:00] Speaker C: Yeah. Hey, you know what? Somebody. Did I tell you this? [00:30:03] Speaker B: You know what? You know what birthday present I gave her one year? [00:30:06] Speaker C: What'd you give her this year? [00:30:08] Speaker B: This year, I just gave us some money for, like, because her. And what. Her and her sister went. [00:30:14] Speaker C: Bottle of whiskey, 80 bucks. Happy birthday. [00:30:18] Speaker B: Her and her sister went to Key West. So I said, give you. I'll give you some Bonsers. And you can. You know, you can do a thing. You can do it. They went to one of those cooking demonstrations and. But one year. One year, genius level. I gave her a card, and the present on it says, I absolutely promise to go to a doctor and get a checkup. [00:30:45] Speaker C: Wow. [00:30:46] Speaker B: Gift. And she started crying and said, this is the best gift ever. [00:30:50] Speaker C: And did you go? [00:30:51] Speaker B: Yeah, I did. [00:30:52] Speaker C: And what did they say? That you're in that condition. [00:30:55] Speaker B: That was the full, like, camera I'M not going now because I'm over. I'm grossly overweight and I know what it's gonna be. [00:31:01] Speaker C: Yeah. Your panel's gonna be out of whack. [00:31:03] Speaker B: There's gonna be. You're a fat bastard. Trying not to be a fat bastard. Yeah, it's pretty obvious. [00:31:08] Speaker C: Maybe you need to hear it from a medical professional. [00:31:12] Speaker B: I hear it from the mirror every morning. Yeah. [00:31:15] Speaker C: You got the camera up the bum. [00:31:16] Speaker B: I had the camera up the ass two years ago. [00:31:18] Speaker C: Up the arse. How did that turn out? Polyps. [00:31:21] Speaker B: No, I was clean. And green. [00:31:23] Speaker C: Clean and green. [00:31:23] Speaker B: You know what was weird is despite all that you eat, have you had the camera up the ass? [00:31:28] Speaker C: No, I'm. I'm not a candidate for it. They said I could just take a dump in a box. No, I'm serious. They had me take the dump in the box. [00:31:38] Speaker A: It was the look after. [00:31:39] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. And I send it in the mail. My. [00:31:43] Speaker A: I've heard of this. [00:31:44] Speaker C: Yeah. It's a real thing now. [00:31:45] Speaker B: My Aussie mate said that's how they do in Australia. [00:31:48] Speaker C: But, yeah, if you're not at risk, then you can just dump in a box. [00:31:51] Speaker B: Well, after 50, is the. Is camera up the ass go. [00:31:55] Speaker C: No, he told me. No. He said they've made huge advances in dumping a box and now they can really screen pretty much everything through that. It's like the veterinarian. You just bring in a baggie of pull out of the. The loo. [00:32:10] Speaker B: What if I. What if you dis. What if you were dishonest and you got somebody else some youth? [00:32:17] Speaker C: What's the point? It's not. It's. It's you. You know, your paycheck isn't tied to it. [00:32:23] Speaker A: It's like that Seinfeld where Elaine had Jerry's mom pee in a cup for. Yeah, you guys, but know what I'm talking about. [00:32:30] Speaker C: You're always referencing these Seinfelds and I [00:32:32] Speaker A: can never remember because it's all of our show. I figure since all three of us love that show and have seen every episode so many times, it's very relevant. [00:32:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:39] Speaker B: Anyway, you know what was disturbing to me about camera the ass is I've done the whole camera. [00:32:45] Speaker C: You were knocked out. [00:32:46] Speaker B: I was knocked out. Yeah. The. The. The doctor that did it was absolutely stunning, which was disturbing. [00:32:56] Speaker C: Really? [00:32:56] Speaker B: Yeah. You got a hot, smoking hot doctor. [00:33:00] Speaker C: What's the name of that doctor? The RS Proctologist. [00:33:03] Speaker B: Yes. [00:33:04] Speaker C: Wow. You wouldn't think a hot woman would go into proctology. [00:33:07] Speaker B: Yeah, Like, I just looked at him. Like, God, you can be one of [00:33:11] Speaker C: the men's asses model. [00:33:12] Speaker B: And you're just staring up Jack. [00:33:16] Speaker C: I can't even get my wife to even dance around back there with her hand, you know, just. And I've requested many times. And this woman, she made it her life's work. Anyway, go ahead. [00:33:26] Speaker B: But anyway, so they wheel you in, they talk, you say, how you feeling? Blah, blah, blah. And then boom. You just have a goddamn lie. Yeah. Next thing you know, you're coming round and. And literally your head's swimming. Oh. And they immediately tell you the results. They're like, yeah, nothing up your ass. You're fine, mate. But I'm, you know, I'm still like, [00:33:47] Speaker C: well, you're half of the rapper. Yeah. You don't even. [00:33:49] Speaker B: And the poor bug in next to me. What? [00:33:51] Speaker C: There's a guy next to you that also had it up his butt. [00:33:54] Speaker B: There's no separation. [00:33:56] Speaker C: You got eight guys lined up. [00:33:57] Speaker B: Where did you go? [00:33:58] Speaker A: Pods in the Matrix. [00:33:59] Speaker B: Yeah. This was it. It wasn't a Swedish. It wasn't Swedish. And the poor bugger, there, they go to him. Yeah, we found some. We found some stuff up your ass. [00:34:10] Speaker C: And you're listening. [00:34:11] Speaker A: That's. I said it right in front of you. [00:34:13] Speaker B: That's next to me. [00:34:14] Speaker A: They said it right in front of you. No, I can't believe that. [00:34:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:18] Speaker C: Did you go to, like, a STD clinic or something? Like. [00:34:21] Speaker B: No. I don't know. Pay cash. [00:34:23] Speaker A: It's $5. That'll be $5. [00:34:26] Speaker B: But what was funny is, after, you know, with a anesthetic, you just can't stop gabbling. [00:34:32] Speaker C: Oh, you must have been depressed after that. [00:34:34] Speaker B: Yeah, Well, I bet Kyle Scanlon was, because he was one who picked me up from the hospital. And after a while, after I, you know, the anesthetic was. Wore off, even I was like, man, I did not shut the up for, remember, 25 minutes. [00:34:51] Speaker A: Wow. [00:34:51] Speaker C: I hope. I wonder if Scanlan got a recording. I definitely would have recorded you. Yeah. [00:34:58] Speaker B: I didn't know that anesthetic had that effect. Now. I looked it up. [00:35:01] Speaker C: General anesthesia can. Yeah, everybody responds a little differently, but, man, it can really throw you for a loop. Were you able to walk or anything? [00:35:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:35:10] Speaker C: Okay. All right. [00:35:11] Speaker B: God, you're hungry, I'll tell you that, because you've just been eating fasted. [00:35:14] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:35:15] Speaker B: You've literally shit through the eye of a needle for 24 hours and you've had nothing. [00:35:21] Speaker C: Yeah. You want you cleaned out. [00:35:22] Speaker B: Hungry? [00:35:24] Speaker C: Yeah. You probably lose a few pounds. I'll be too, right I don't know. I wonder, could you just take that just to. Through the eye of a needle for fun, you know, like, just not for fun in a medic. [00:35:36] Speaker B: No, I know. Medic makes you puke, doesn't it? [00:35:39] Speaker C: A medic. E M E T, I C. I think it's a medic. And then there's an emetic. Yeah. [00:35:46] Speaker B: I mean, they are. Clinic. They are. Right when they say it's going to be about 20 minutes and. And the gates are open.

[00:36:18] Speaker C: You got to be able to pick these people out of a book, you know, pick the one that you're most attracted to, you know, if you're going to go that route. [00:36:28] Speaker A: They only give me the blood work, though. [00:36:30] Speaker C: Yeah. You get a good panel? [00:36:32] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. They always tell, and I'm usually. [00:36:34] Speaker C: How do you eat over there? [00:36:36] Speaker A: Oh, I take care of myself. [00:36:37] Speaker C: Yeah, you eat, right? You don't eat like this guy? [00:36:39] Speaker A: No. Salad, chicken, rice. That's pretty much. Then like once a week I'll make something special. Like this week it was. I made sausages with bacon. [00:36:50] Speaker C: Okay. [00:36:51] Speaker A: That's what I did over the weekend. I mean, I made. Yeah, well, I know. That's why I only do it once a week. And not even that. I don't. I don't usually go the bacon and sausage route, but I like to make enough for myself and my neighbor downstairs. [00:37:03] Speaker C: Oh, that's nice. [00:37:04] Speaker A: Yeah, we do. We do a lot of food swapping. Yeah. Yep. He gave me a turkey burger the other day. [00:37:09] Speaker C: We just leave it on your step. [00:37:10] Speaker A: Or does he knock on the door? We have an adjoining. We have a hallway that. Both of our doors are just opposite each other, opposite in the hallway. And there's a ladder in the middle of them, leaning against the wall. And we'll text the other one ladder, which means there's food there. [00:37:26] Speaker C: What a nice neighborly thing to do. I don't talk to any of my neighbors. I. I hate them. [00:37:30] Speaker A: I've known him for like 15 years. [00:37:32] Speaker C: How about you with the neighbors? [00:37:34] Speaker B: We're fine with neighbors. [00:37:35] Speaker C: Yeah. Get along all right? [00:37:36] Speaker B: Yep. [00:37:37] Speaker C: Heather doesn't yell out the window at him like, I tried to buy the House. All right, friends. Well, I wanted to ask more about what you're eating because you had those clamshells out there. You had three. You see? Had three clam. Empty clamshells when I walked. [00:37:51] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a down. [00:37:52] Speaker A: Oh, the plastic things, not actual clamshells. [00:37:54] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a bit of a downer. [00:37:55] Speaker C: What'd you put in your ma today? What does he call your gob? [00:37:59] Speaker A: Gob. [00:38:00] Speaker C: What you put in your gob today. [00:38:02] Speaker B: Mexican chicken from Juul. Yep. [00:38:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:05] Speaker B: Reduced to $2. [00:38:07] Speaker A: Okay. [00:38:07] Speaker C: 2B. [00:38:09] Speaker B: I had a salad from Juwel. Yep. The huge, like, tomato, cucumber, white lettuce. I like. I really like beetroot. [00:38:19] Speaker C: Beetroot. [00:38:20] Speaker B: I love beetroot. Beets. Yeah, I had a lot of beetroot. [00:38:23] Speaker C: That's good. [00:38:24] Speaker B: And then I just add a little bit of Mac and cheese just to dirty it up. [00:38:28] Speaker C: So. Mac and cheese, Mexican chicken, you said? [00:38:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:32] Speaker C: Just spiced up. [00:38:33] Speaker B: Yep. [00:38:34] Speaker C: In a salad. Okay. Why don't you go for your standard. The dogs and stuff, they weren't out. [00:38:39] Speaker B: I went to salad bar today in. In Mariano because I thought, oh, the brats from Lane Tech aren't in. [00:38:48] Speaker C: Oh, they're out. No, they're not today. They're out today. [00:38:52] Speaker B: Yeah, they're off school today. Yeah. So I thought, oh, you know, the. The. The salad bar, whatever bar will be totally un. Molested, unmolested by the youth of today. [00:39:04] Speaker C: Youth go for salad. [00:39:05] Speaker B: Yeah, not so much the salad, but they pick up all the good. You know, the. The ribs and the fried chicken and stuff and pick it. [00:39:13] Speaker C: So the hot bar. Yeah. [00:39:15] Speaker B: So I thought, well, the hot bar will be all. All for me today. Yeah. It wasn't so good. [00:39:23] Speaker C: All right, well, enough. Enough treacle. Let's get to today's comedian who. [00:39:30] Speaker B: How many minutes? 40 minutes. [00:39:32] Speaker C: Yeah, we're all right. You're gonna be exhausted today, especially after all that pre show talk. [00:39:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:40] Speaker C: We. I introduced you to. Was this the first time you'd seen Norm McDonald's one night stand? [00:39:46] Speaker A: I don't know because I recognize one of the jokes, so I might have just seen a clip. [00:39:50] Speaker C: Okay, you might have seen a clip. How about you? Had you ever seen this Norm MacDonald one night stand from 1991? [00:39:56] Speaker B: I might have seen some clippage like Christian, because he's. He's everywhere and he. [00:40:01] Speaker C: With clips, I guess. I don't really watch clips, but he's got a lot of clips. [00:40:05] Speaker B: Half of YouTube is Norm MacDonald compilations and stuff. [00:40:09] Speaker C: Did you watch that clip? I sent you a Friend of mine just happened to send me that. At the same time of him doing the White House correspondence dinner for Clinton? [00:40:17] Speaker A: No. But I have separately seen that. [00:40:19] Speaker C: That's great. [00:40:19] Speaker A: Yep. [00:40:20] Speaker C: He bombs a lot of it. [00:40:21] Speaker A: Yeah. What a terrible crowd to put him in front of. [00:40:25] Speaker C: Oh, God. Don't face him on a lot of it. And he's just squirming. [00:40:30] Speaker A: But he seemed like. Well, I thought. I don't know. He seemed like he couldn't give a shit. [00:40:34] Speaker C: He handles. [00:40:36] Speaker A: I have to do this. [00:40:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:40:37] Speaker A: Sorry. [00:40:38] Speaker C: Maybe that's why he endears himself so much to me. He just. He bombs so well. [00:40:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:44] Speaker C: You know, like even on Saturday Night Live, all those years as the update host, he would say jokes that would not go over at all, and he would just take it and not. Not even wince. [00:40:53] Speaker A: You know, somebody. I was. [00:40:55] Speaker C: The Art of Bombing. Somebody ought to write a book about the art of bombing. [00:40:59] Speaker A: I'm sure somebody has, Right? [00:41:00] Speaker C: Well, I don't know. Nobody wants to talk about bombing, acknowledge their bombing. [00:41:04] Speaker B: Well, you're the. You're a rarity. Someone who wants it to happen. [00:41:08] Speaker C: I don't necessarily want it. I'd love to be funny all the time. [00:41:11] Speaker A: Why don't you write the book? [00:41:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:13] Speaker C: The Art of Bombing. [00:41:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:15] Speaker C: Yeah. And then you can have me in as a guest lecturer here. [00:41:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:19] Speaker C: I could talk to prospective comedians on about how to bomb. [00:41:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:23] Speaker C: And bomb well. [00:41:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:25] Speaker C: Yeah. That's a good idea. Somebody expert in bombing. [00:41:29] Speaker A: Somebody unsolicited. Unsolicitedly told me a Norm MacDonald joke last night. [00:41:35] Speaker C: All right. What was it? What is it? [00:41:36] Speaker A: It was something about the early 90s. I was talking about bands in the early 90s, and he said, yeah, how about 1992, where the best band of the year was voted to be better than Ezra and the second best band was Ezra. [00:41:52] Speaker C: That's a Normand joke. [00:41:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:54] Speaker C: That's good. [00:41:55] Speaker B: There used to be a DJ on Q101. [00:41:58] Speaker C: He's. [00:41:59] Speaker B: He was very, very funny. Called Bill Left. And he used to talk about his band, not quite as Good as Ezra. [00:42:07] Speaker C: Not quite as Good as Ezra. [00:42:09] Speaker A: There was a good puns. There was a Weekend Update joke that Norm MacDonald had in the 90s. That always stuck with me, too. It was. Today is Bjork's birthday, so. To Bjork, Happy birthday. [00:42:22] Speaker C: That's how a lot of his jokes are. [00:42:23] Speaker A: Simple. [00:42:24] Speaker C: They're simple, like, kind of dumb. [00:42:26] Speaker B: Did he write. Did he write all of the updates? He couldn't have written all of them because I started watching a compil. [00:42:31] Speaker C: They Have a whole team. [00:42:32] Speaker B: I was watching the compilation of them after I watched the special, and I was like, he couldn't have written all of these. [00:42:40] Speaker C: Yeah, No, I doubt you. [00:42:41] Speaker A: Yeah, they got other. [00:42:42] Speaker C: But, yeah, he's got a lot of writers, but I think he probably gets say on which ones he wants. Right. And then. Then Lauren gets say on which ones they can actually say. Well, do you. Where do you rank Norm in the pantheon of Weekend Update anchors? You know, since the beginning. Is he the. To me, he's the best, but, you know. [00:43:06] Speaker A: Yeah, if he's not the best, I mean, the only contender, I think is Colin Quinn. [00:43:11] Speaker C: Really? [00:43:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:13] Speaker C: You put Colin Quinn there? [00:43:14] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I think so. [00:43:15] Speaker C: Not Colin Jost? [00:43:16] Speaker A: No, Colin Quinn. Although I do like. I have. I do like them. The duo. Yeah. No, I think maybe it was, you know, because I came up in that time, too. [00:43:27] Speaker C: Yeah. I would put Dennis Miller. [00:43:30] Speaker A: I think I kind of missed the Dennis Miller boat. [00:43:31] Speaker C: Yeah. You're a little young at the time. He was great. [00:43:34] Speaker B: Well, Dennis Miller was when they started. Have Norm MacDonald only ever did him. That was it. No guests? No. Yeah. [00:43:43] Speaker C: I don't know. I think he might have brought in guests. I think they all kind of had guests. [00:43:47] Speaker B: I don't recall a guest. [00:43:49] Speaker C: No. I don't know. [00:43:50] Speaker B: But I wasn't here then. So I'm just looking at history. [00:43:54] Speaker A: When was Adam Sandler on there doing, like the Cajun man and. And characters like that? Who was weakened up? [00:43:59] Speaker B: That would be Spade, wasn't it? [00:44:01] Speaker C: No, Spade was never Anchor. That was Norm. It was mostly Norm. And Colin. Colin Quinn, huh. So this special of his comes out May 4, 1991. I know that because this series of comedy specials called One Night stand debuted in February 1989. I'm 14 years old. And this is these weekly specials that would come out on hbo. I don't know if it was Friday or Saturdays were everything to me. Right. As a someone who loved comedy, I would watch Saturday Live on Saturdays and then this stand up series that would come out once a week. [00:44:42] Speaker A: It was Saturday night. [00:44:44] Speaker C: I don't quite remember. No, I don't know if it was Saturday night, but it was once a week. [00:44:47] Speaker A: Did you have HBO when you're growing up? [00:44:48] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. Because. Yeah, my father, he loved hbo, so I would watch all these. And so I. I went and printed out all the different seasons, just trying to see, you know, if I. It would jog my memory. The norms was in 91, but it started in 89. Judy Tenuta was the first one, and I almost Picked this guy from. For this week's special. But I'll have to choose it another time. Kevin Meaney. I don't know if you remember him. He was great. Joy Behar, Bob Nelson, Blake Clark, Kevin Pollock, Rita Rudner, Bill Maher, Paula Poundstone, Dom A. Barry Sobel and Damon Wayans was the first season. [00:45:28] Speaker A: That's quite the list. [00:45:29] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. And so you didn't get it. Probably you didn't see any of these because you weren't here. It just remind. Just watching this from this time reminded me of what how we access comedy. This was it. Right. Like Saturday nights mattered because that was when you could only time you could see Saturday Night Live. Right. Unless you had. [00:45:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:50] Speaker C: Taped it on VHS and comedy specials. This was pre Comedy Central. The HBO would. Would let one out every week and that was it. And if you wanted more, you're. You just you. You would see somebody you loved and then. [00:46:07] Speaker B: But when you get five minutes on. You get five minutes on Letterman or something. [00:46:11] Speaker C: Yeah. Unless they get a guest spot on the Tonight show or Letterman or something like that. And then that was it. So I remember seeing Norm and being totally blown away by him and think he was the best. And then that's it. You know, like where will he appear next? I don't know. Hopefully in a rerun of. This is the only thing you could really hope for. Right. Because if you're a kid, you're not going to comedy clubs and like that to watch comedians. [00:46:37] Speaker B: Nope. [00:46:39] Speaker C: Well, thank you for that. That color commentary you just added there [00:46:43] Speaker B: with a. I was waiting for you. No wanking. [00:46:46] Speaker C: Well, I'll stop when you start. You know, [00:46:51] Speaker B: it's your program. I'm doing a Paul Schaefer because I also watched. [00:46:57] Speaker C: Well, he said more than you. [00:46:59] Speaker B: I'm addicted to the. When Norm used to do Letterman. That shit is the funny Letterman impression and all I think it was Chris Kattan played Paul Schaefer and all he would do is repeat. Yeah, [00:47:13] Speaker C: yeah. Now with. [00:47:15] Speaker A: With like 5 minute spots on Letterman and and such. Would you. Back then would you know ahead of time who the comic was going to be? Like could you look at the TV Guide? Let's say. And in the description it says, you [00:47:28] Speaker C: know, I gotta watch so much TV on Sundays. I would sit and study the TV Guide and memorize shit out of it. I don't know if they. And I used to do TV programming after college. So I. We would have to input all this stuff. And I think yeah, they knew who their guests were for the week. So I'm pretty sure they, they would have one main guest per night and you would, you might see that in the guidance. [00:47:50] Speaker A: So it was. Normally, it was kind of a surprise, but there were. [00:47:54] Speaker C: Yeah, you didn't know everybody. They didn't list everybody and they didn't always appear as scheduled, but. Yeah, I think you knew. Yeah. So you, yeah, you. That, that whole term appointment television was so real like you. You had to be by that TV on Thursdays at 9 to see the episode of Seinfeld. There was no other way to see it. Yeah, right. It wasn't coming back on. Yeah, same, same must have been true for late night shows. Knowing a comedian was going to be on there or a special. You had to be there. And just, I mean to think about the way comedy or any kind of entertainment is consumed now. I could go home right now and watch everything Norm MacDonald's ever done in his life for the rest of the day and night tomorrow until it was over. Yeah, right. [00:48:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:41] Speaker C: Thanks, Paul. Good work over there. [00:48:43] Speaker B: You're talking about something that doesn't really resonate with me. [00:48:46] Speaker C: Why not? You were, you're the same vintage. You're older than me. [00:48:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I wasn't in America though. [00:48:51] Speaker C: But you had a, same process over there. I'm sure you got to the, the, [00:48:56] Speaker A: the telly and they already had streaming over there. They had it 30 years before we. [00:49:02] Speaker C: They never had anything before us here, always behind us. [00:49:06] Speaker B: It was similar. Ish. I would say. How do we. We definitely didn't have comedy specials. You had them on these little wanky little sh. They would be on like a variety show or something and then you would get to know them that way. There was actually the only reason I knew any American comedians was this guy DEZ o', Connor, who's a famously bad singing, you know, song and dance guy. And he, his booker clearly had a route into America and so he would have a lot of guest Americans on. So that's it. When I first saw Emo Judy Tenuta, guy called Will Durst, I was really. [00:49:51] Speaker C: He's on here. He was here. Will Dirt. [00:49:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:49:53] Speaker B: Will Durst is your proto Bill Hicks, kind of hard edged political social commentary guy. [00:50:01] Speaker C: Bill Hicks is on here too. [00:50:02] Speaker B: Yeah. So I saw a lot of them that way. But we never had this, this whole, this, this is a world to me. This hbo. [00:50:09] Speaker C: Yeah. You didn't have like an HBO over here. [00:50:11] Speaker B: No. [00:50:12] Speaker C: Yeah. How about this? Have you ever heard of this guy? Right. All these are pretty well known, but the Higgins boys and Gruber. Have you heard of that. No, the Higgins boys and Gruber. It's all individual comedians or comedians. And then the Higgins boys. And Gruber is. Was one of the specials. [00:50:31] Speaker B: That's Chris Higgins. If he was one of the Higgins boys. The Higgins boys, if you're still listening. Are they listening or did they. Are they. [00:50:37] Speaker A: I think we'll have to wait till the next road trip to find out. [00:50:40] Speaker C: Find out, then they re. And then we'll get into normal. [00:50:43] Speaker A: Just real quick. [00:50:43] Speaker C: Who. [00:50:44] Speaker A: Who's the famous Gruber? Was it Hans Gruber? [00:50:46] Speaker C: Hans Gruber from. [00:50:47] Speaker A: Yeah, it couldn't have been him. I don't have. No, I'm not doing a bit. I have no idea who this guy is. [00:50:51] Speaker C: No, I don't know. I don't know. Hans Gruber from Die Hard? No. [00:50:54] Speaker A: Oh, is that a character's name in Die. Oh, never mind. Yeah, I thought it was somebody famous. [00:50:59] Speaker C: Well, it kind of is. Hans Gruber. Yeah. Rest in peace. [00:51:03] Speaker A: Oh, he's dead. [00:51:03] Speaker C: Yep. [00:51:04] Speaker A: Did he die hard? [00:51:05] Speaker C: Snape? [00:51:06] Speaker A: Did he die? Hardly. [00:51:07] Speaker B: Harry Potter fell off the top of a building. [00:51:09] Speaker A: Did he really? [00:51:10] Speaker C: Yeah. No. [00:51:11] Speaker A: It's hard to survive that. [00:51:14] Speaker C: Okay, all right, very funny. [00:51:17] Speaker B: Have you ever seen the film An Awfully Big Adventure? [00:51:23] Speaker C: No. [00:51:25] Speaker B: Where Alan Rickman essentially shags his own daughter. [00:51:31] Speaker C: Oh, his own biological daughter. [00:51:35] Speaker B: Mm. [00:51:35] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:51:36] Speaker A: What other kind of daughter? [00:51:37] Speaker C: He shagged his own daughter. That's like reverse Oedipus Rex, right? It's like. [00:51:42] Speaker B: Well, they didn't know they were related. [00:51:44] Speaker C: I know. Neither did Oedipus and his mother from the Greek tragedy. But once he found out, you know, the Oedipus Rex, he took a. He took her brooch, her pin that you were, and jabbed his own eyeballs out. [00:52:00] Speaker A: That'll solve it. [00:52:01] Speaker C: Penance for banging his. [00:52:03] Speaker A: That'll do it. No memories after your eyeballs are gone. [00:52:06] Speaker C: Thank you for adding that to this show, Paul. [00:52:08] Speaker A: Wouldn't you want to see more so you could bury that memory? Wouldn't you want to keep experiencing more? [00:52:13] Speaker C: The last thing you saw, banging your mom. [00:52:16] Speaker B: Show me the list. Let me see if I can recognize any of them. [00:52:18] Speaker C: You're gonna recognize a lot of these people. So then this. This seminal, so important comedy stand up series lasted three season. Four seasons. Maybe four seasons from 89 to 92. And then I don't know why it went away. Came back for a season five in 2005. So after a 12 year hiatus, came back to HBO for half hour specials, which after watching this and last week. Who do we watch last week? Oh, Mitch Hedberg. [00:52:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:52] Speaker C: This is the only way to watch comedy is in a half hour dosage. I don't want to watch another hour long special. It leaves you wanting more. Right. The hour easier to do, makes you want less. [00:53:07] Speaker B: But certain comedians, but some comedians are building something more that takes that little bit longer. You got a Grantham. [00:53:16] Speaker A: That Stuart Lee one that I just watched was two hours. [00:53:18] Speaker C: Yeah. Remnant carpet. Yeah, carpet remnant. [00:53:21] Speaker A: Carpet remnant. [00:53:22] Speaker C: I can't get that thing on because I can't get it. I'm not gonna take the TV off the wall to plug in it. [00:53:29] Speaker B: I do fiddle at the back. No, be there. [00:53:31] Speaker C: It's flush against the wall. It's a flat screen TV. I don't have a.2. I don't have a. [00:53:36] Speaker B: You'll still see it at the side. [00:53:38] Speaker C: I can. I can kind of see it when I get back, but I don't have. My hands are too big and I can't get back there. Unless you had like a carny's hands to get in there. [00:53:47] Speaker B: Bad design. [00:53:49] Speaker C: I have enormous hands. [00:53:52] Speaker B: Most of those TVs that are against the wall, they can come out. [00:53:56] Speaker C: Yeah, it does come out a little bit, but it can't get it. [00:53:59] Speaker A: You're having a lot of problems with gaps this week. [00:54:03] Speaker B: Perennium. [00:54:03] Speaker C: Why did you bring that up? I wasn't thinking about it for a minute there. So this came back in 2005, and the first comedian in that season was Louis CK then followed by Earthquake. Have you heard of the comedian Earthquake? [00:54:19] Speaker A: Earthquake. I don't. [00:54:21] Speaker C: And then there's Def Comedy Jam, which I think at some point we have to go on a Def Comedy Jam run and do like Martin Lawrence and those guys and watch those be great. Yeah, but this is my heyday. I'm 15 years old. I'm parked in front of this. These specials, these weekly specials formed me as a comedian. And as you know, I love Norm MacDonald. And, you know, I copied his entire act as best I could. And here's where it got me. 30 years later in a room with you two talking about Norm. [00:54:52] Speaker A: Red Vines. [00:54:53] Speaker C: Eating Red Vines. [00:54:55] Speaker B: You know, actually talking of, you say, talking about Norm MacDonald. I think we've maybe done 20 seconds on Norm MacDonald collectively at the hours, hour point. [00:55:06] Speaker C: Well, we did this last week with Hedberg. The act is very short. [00:55:08] Speaker B: Do you think we talk more about your perineum than, to be fair? [00:55:12] Speaker C: We talked about your perennium. [00:55:13] Speaker A: Yeah. There's a lot of the camera up your arse, right? [00:55:16] Speaker C: We didn't talk about any camera. [00:55:18] Speaker B: I thought we were talking about your Perineum gap. [00:55:20] Speaker C: No. Anion gap. Oh, let me explain that again. What that means. No, the difference between acidic blood levels and alkalinic blood levels. And mine's low below the alkalinic level. It's very rare. It could be multiple myeloma or whatever. [00:55:37] Speaker A: Or a lab mistake. Or a lab mistake. I'm going with that. [00:55:39] Speaker C: Okay, let's talk about the special. First of all, do you think these half hour specials. You watched it? Yeah. Assume we're here. Are whittled down from something longer. [00:55:49] Speaker B: Well, obviously. [00:55:51] Speaker C: Yeah. So you think he did an hour, but they only show a half hour. [00:55:53] Speaker B: Yeah, of course. I mean you're not gonna go to a. Unless they back to. Back to bunch of tape ins and was just. Hey, audience, you're gonna see three. [00:56:03] Speaker C: But I would thought that the headliner back then. [00:56:06] Speaker B: By the time you cut out that labored sketch, it's only 17 minutes. Really? Is that all you've go back to the video, dude. By the time you cut that and [00:56:17] Speaker C: the credits, I think it was 26 minutes long. The whole thing. [00:56:21] Speaker B: The sketch out. Cut the credits out, you gained down. [00:56:25] Speaker A: That was 38. [00:56:26] Speaker B: 28. [00:56:27] Speaker C: 26. [00:56:28] Speaker B: 26 was top. To test. Like that's it. [00:56:33] Speaker C: I wonder if this was the original cut or not. The original cupboard. Like this is how. Well, yeah, it had to be aired in a half hour slot on hbo. [00:56:41] Speaker B: So with ads. [00:56:43] Speaker C: No ads back then. They didn't have ads on hbo. You paid for it. You didn't see any ads. Yeah, the. It was a strange kind of intro outro, wasn't it? I guess they did the. That for all the one night stands. [00:56:57] Speaker B: I think looking at his facial expression, Norm MacDonald was not happy. [00:57:01] Speaker C: He didn't want to do that. [00:57:03] Speaker B: You go back and. Yeah, whenever Norm MacDonald did comedy, he did it with a grin. He's smiling the whole time, right? [00:57:11] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah, you're right. [00:57:12] Speaker B: During that labored sketch. [00:57:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:57:15] Speaker B: He just looked like. [00:57:16] Speaker A: He did seem very sad. [00:57:18] Speaker B: Yeah, he looked like, I don't want any part of this. [00:57:21] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, you're probably right. [00:57:23] Speaker A: Was that. Was. Was that one of the women from the Golden Girls and then sketch that old Betty. [00:57:29] Speaker C: His mother, you mean? Yeah, I don't think it. No. [00:57:31] Speaker A: Looked like one of them. [00:57:32] Speaker C: I don't recognize Blanche. I like the joke where he walks back in the room, right. And he's like. So Nipsey says, that's not a bratwurst. Must be Nipsey Russell reference. Okay. I wrote down every single bit. We could even go through every bit and we won't but what I loved about it was the pacing. Right. Nice and slow. You know, he's no hurry. You're gonna get about 12 jokes here, and you get to savor every one of them. You know, comedy today, it's too much. Too many jokes, too fast switching topics. It's too coming at me. And it brings me back to our first special that we watched. Nate Bargazzi. That's something he's captured, I think, is that slow comedy. I like that. Now I realize after watching all this shit. [00:58:19] Speaker A: And he didn't even take the microphone off the stand the whole time, did he? [00:58:22] Speaker C: No. And I love that. [00:58:23] Speaker A: Yeah, he just kind of lets it sit in front of him and he [00:58:25] Speaker C: kind of pats his stomach. You know, I love that approach to the mic where you don't touch it. It just stands in front of you. [00:58:32] Speaker B: Yeah, some. I saw him at the Vic, and the guy the mic up, we couldn't hear him for about half of the show. [00:58:38] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:58:39] Speaker C: Tell us about that. [00:58:39] Speaker B: How can you. How can. [00:58:41] Speaker A: That's the only thing you need is one mic. The microphone doesn't work. [00:58:46] Speaker B: Unbelievable. Vic, theater. [00:58:49] Speaker A: Oh, right. Wasn't this special filmed in the Vic? Is that what they said in the beginning of the. [00:58:53] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:58:55] Speaker C: I forgot that I didn't see that at the beginning. Now I remember. [00:58:57] Speaker B: This was at the end when I saw it. [00:58:59] Speaker C: God, can you imagine? That would have been amazing. [00:59:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Because at first I thought they said from the big theater in Chicago. I'm thinking, which theater is. And I realized that he said Vic, not big. [00:59:08] Speaker C: Oh. [00:59:09] Speaker B: But it doesn't look like. [00:59:10] Speaker A: It doesn't look like the Vic. I mean, you know, it's the dimensions [00:59:14] Speaker B: of the stage different. [00:59:15] Speaker A: 30 years, 35 years ago, you know, they could have done some renovations. [00:59:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:21] Speaker C: Yeah. So you think he comes down from Canada and he. He does his special here at the Vic? [00:59:26] Speaker A: He's Canadian. [00:59:27] Speaker C: You're kidding. [00:59:28] Speaker A: No, I'm not. I didn't know that. [00:59:29] Speaker C: Yeah. Big. I think he's a road warrior up there for a while before he got where in Canada. I've read his book. No. Alberta somewhere. [00:59:41] Speaker A: Oh, wow. Out there. [00:59:42] Speaker B: Calgary. [00:59:43] Speaker C: Calgary. [00:59:44] Speaker B: Is it Calgary's Alberta? [00:59:46] Speaker C: I don't remember exactly. Yeah, I think it's Alberta, but I'm not sure. So this is his first special and his first, I would think, exposure to the American audience. And I just. I don't know. I just never. You know, I've been watching a lot of comedy at that time, and I just hadn't seen anything like him. He's so distinct in, you know, the way, what, one hour. And that's our show for today. [01:00:11] Speaker B: Gonna need some editing. [01:00:13] Speaker A: Why you think so? [01:00:16] Speaker C: What will you take out? Stuff about your arse, probably. Yeah. You want to reveal that? [01:00:24] Speaker B: Don't talk about what I'm gonna take out. And then it'll. Then it ruins. Now I've now gotta take this around that. [01:00:30] Speaker C: Now you take this out. [01:00:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Never ending. [01:00:33] Speaker C: Sorry. [01:00:34] Speaker A: You take out the whole story about the swimming pool. [01:00:36] Speaker C: Yeah, that swimming pool is crazy. [01:00:38] Speaker A: That was nuts. [01:00:40] Speaker C: Don't take that out. [01:00:41] Speaker A: Don't take out the story about the swimming pool. That was the best part. [01:00:47] Speaker C: Let me tell you something about how to do a show. You don't talk about how to make the sausage right in the middle of the show. You don't stop it, say, oh, an [01:00:58] Speaker B: hour Christian was making sausage. [01:01:02] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. But then you bring it down. Like when you. A couple weeks ago when he said, this is dead air, then it just takes the air out of the room. [01:01:15] Speaker B: Go to the fan boards and look at what people thought. [01:01:18] Speaker C: They thought that was dead air. The fan board. [01:01:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:01:21] Speaker C: I didn't see anything about that. [01:01:22] Speaker B: I said one comment said, this is typical Gary genius. [01:01:27] Speaker C: They did, Yeah, I missed that comment. Okay, I have to go back in there. Well, what, you would want me to sit here and, and, and go on and on about how much I love Norm MacDonald and all his jokes? What do you guys think? [01:01:42] Speaker B: Okay, I'll tell you what I think, please. Okay, one thing I thought of is, is there's no segues. Well, if there are, they're painful, painfully tenuous. [01:01:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:55] Speaker B: And that got me thinking. Well, hang on, hang on, hang on. Bill o' Donnell's big thing is to not just drop a load of jokes, go, here's all my jokes and piss off. Yeah, you hate that, right? And here's Norm doing it. So explain that and try and stay fashionable. [01:02:14] Speaker C: Okay, well, I will. And I always wanted to be a comedian like Norm MacDonald or Jerry Seinfeld who just does jokes. I just can't do it right. So I do appreciate the guys that can do it. I don't like one liner type guys. That's like fucking Hedberg or whatever. That's shite. But these are, there are transitions, there are segues here, Right. They're not super tight, but he's just talking about his life. Talking about quitting smoking, getting old, having a dog, dogs, working out, sports, dating, they're all relevant to somebody's life. So they're not just disconnected one liners like a Hedberg or somebody. [01:02:58] Speaker B: Okay. [01:02:59] Speaker C: I wish I could do this kind of comedy. It's great. You know, maybe I can. [01:03:05] Speaker A: Maybe you can get back on that horse. [01:03:07] Speaker C: I performed this week on. On Monday at the Reveler. [01:03:12] Speaker A: This past Monday or is coming up. [01:03:14] Speaker C: No, this past Monday was at the Reveler. [01:03:16] Speaker B: The Reveler, yeah. [01:03:17] Speaker A: It's a bar over on Damon and Roscoe. Right? [01:03:20] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah, I did like 20. [01:03:23] Speaker B: Is there a lot of Revel? [01:03:24] Speaker A: No way. You're making this up. [01:03:26] Speaker C: No, it was. It was a kids basketball banquet, but still was asked to get up and, you know, maybe I can't. You know, like, I'm in a better place now. [01:03:39] Speaker A: You want to do our next cabaret show? [01:03:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:03:41] Speaker A: All right. You're booked. [01:03:42] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, no, I gotta get ready. I gotta get ready. [01:03:48] Speaker A: Like two months. [01:03:48] Speaker C: Okay, good. [01:03:49] Speaker B: You know, backing out. [01:03:50] Speaker C: Yeah, I got. I've been writing a lot of material. [01:03:52] Speaker A: You're our first act. [01:03:53] Speaker C: Well, let me ask you about the jokes. Did you think he was funny? I was laugh. I've seen this 100 times. I was watching it on the computer. My wife was in the office, and I'm laughing and laughing, and she's like, this is so dumb. Like, I can't believe you think this is funny. And I'm like, it's so funny. [01:04:09] Speaker B: Yeah, he's. No. What's her name? [01:04:11] Speaker C: Leon Rogers. [01:04:13] Speaker B: Leanne Rogers. [01:04:15] Speaker C: Do you think he's funny in this? I know we all think Norm is funny. Norm's the best. Right. He's just a great. But is he funny in this? Like Dana Carvey? I love him. I didn't find him very funny in the special that we watched. [01:04:26] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [01:04:28] Speaker C: But this. I still found him very. [01:04:30] Speaker A: That's a really good point. When I used to watch that Dana Carvey special as a teenager. [01:04:35] Speaker C: Yeah, you picked that one, right? [01:04:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I. I loved it and I didn't like it the second time. And this an opportunity for me not to like Norm MacDonald like I did as a teenager. But that didn't happen. [01:04:44] Speaker C: So you did like. [01:04:45] Speaker A: I did, yeah. [01:04:47] Speaker C: How about you? Did you like the jokes in this? [01:04:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I just put. You know, I put. Some of them have been copied a lot, though. And that got. I was like, well, he obviously did this first, but now it's a. It's a trope. [01:05:00] Speaker C: Like what? [01:05:02] Speaker B: The whole. Where was it? Like the engage engagement ring bit. I wanted to say. I put. I started because I thought, well, there's no point putting. Good bit. Good bit. I'm just gonna be putting that all the guy. Yeah. So I Just started looking for stuff. I put a great Norm style bit against the backseat. [01:05:25] Speaker C: The backseat jokes. [01:05:27] Speaker B: Because that, that to me is like. That's a Norm McDonald bit. [01:05:31] Speaker C: Yes. And that one got played a lot, I feel like. [01:05:34] Speaker B: Start with the joke and then start building up like the, well, this is how I react because I'm Norm MacDonald type thing. [01:05:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:05:43] Speaker B: So I got. That's a. That's a classic Norm style bit. [01:05:47] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, when you say how he reacts, he. This, this first special, it's almost like he's doing an. It doesn't make sense to say this, but like he's doing an impression of himself. Like, he didn't. He hadn't really found his voice yet. You know what I mean? Not raw isn't the right word, but maybe too forced or too affected. It's fake. Maybe. [01:06:15] Speaker A: Do you think also maybe he had. I was thinking he has to go a little over the top. He kind of mellowed out over time because people knew, okay, this is how this guy talks. This is what to expect from this guy. This is his first time interacting, so he has to really lay it on. Yes. [01:06:29] Speaker C: He was laying on thick or. Yeah. Forcing it a little because he's. He's still a young comedian. Right. And figuring. Trying to find his voice. [01:06:40] Speaker A: And for a lot of the jokes, he was just putting himself out on this limb, you know, not knowing if they were gonna laugh because this isn't like every joke. Like, yeah, people weren't used to this sort of style yet, you know, so he would just kind of like finish it and wait, you know, Wait. Right. So he had to kind of just depend on the fact that he was gonna get the reception. [01:06:57] Speaker B: You know what I mean? [01:06:59] Speaker C: He does say that. He says, you know, you know, yeah, go over there behind the shed there, you know, and then he uses like terms like this crazy wing nut and who dowel like crazy, like old timey terms that he works in there. [01:07:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:07:15] Speaker C: All the time. They does the fake. That's classic. The weak voice. [01:07:21] Speaker B: What's your favorite? What was your favorite bit? And what's the best bit of the 17 minutes? [01:07:26] Speaker C: Jeez. I do think the backseat material is so good. Right. You know, it gets better and better. I love the wiener. The dog stuff about the dogs. And then the wiener dog biting his neck, you know, like ripping his neck out. And you wake up and like, hey, he's got a vein there. He's like, hey, hey. He gives you a hickey. I thought that was good. [01:07:50] Speaker A: There was a picture at the end of him with his wiener dog. So there was. Yeah. [01:07:55] Speaker C: Oh, I didn't see that. Oh, they walk away. So you got a wiener dog. [01:07:58] Speaker A: They. They just showed this shot of him at, like, the very end. He's standing. It was a picture of him with a wiener dog. [01:08:04] Speaker C: Wow. [01:08:04] Speaker A: I'm assuming it was his. [01:08:05] Speaker C: Yeah. No, but I think the best joke is the Dating Game joke. You remember the Dating Game? [01:08:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:08:10] Speaker C: Right. And he's like, you know, it's all innuendo. Like, what would you do? If I was. Up to me. If I was a Popsicle, first, I'd take off your wrapper and then grab you by the sticks. Right. And then. But it's all set up by, like, these guys are creeps that are on the show. And then stuff. Stick the other half of you in the freezer. Because we used to. I don't know if you get that. But you know what? [01:08:38] Speaker B: Double. Yeah. [01:08:39] Speaker C: There were twin popsicles. You'd split them, eat half, and then stick the other half back in the freezer. It's brilliant. [01:08:45] Speaker A: Breaking half over the counter and save half of you for later. [01:08:48] Speaker C: I don't want all on the counter. [01:08:51] Speaker B: My favorite bit was the lottery ticket. [01:08:53] Speaker C: But here's nothing. [01:08:55] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Here's nothing. But then it turns, what if he did win? He'd be like, hey, I got 14 million. [01:09:00] Speaker A: Yeah, right. [01:09:01] Speaker B: And you got me, what, a cup. [01:09:03] Speaker A: Cup. [01:09:04] Speaker C: Any chance any of that skyrocketing in value, that cup? [01:09:10] Speaker A: Who hasn't thought of that? Right. If you're giving or receiving lottery tickets as a gift. We still do that. [01:09:15] Speaker C: We still give away lottery tickets as gifts. My kids get them a lot from relatives and things. [01:09:23] Speaker B: Did that portend his gambling addiction? [01:09:26] Speaker A: Oh, he had a gambling addiction? [01:09:27] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [01:09:29] Speaker B: Major. He's like. I think he was, like, bankrupt multiple times. [01:09:33] Speaker A: No way. [01:09:34] Speaker B: Yeah. And so on. So you say he'd go work at a casino and basically come out, like, net zero. Because, like, he'd be working the casino at night and then just spaffing it up the wall in the day. [01:09:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:09:48] Speaker B: Chronic gambling addict, apparently. [01:09:50] Speaker C: Yeah. Really bad. Really bad. [01:09:53] Speaker A: I'll bet he was a hilarious gambler, though. [01:09:55] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [01:09:56] Speaker B: Could you imagine if you're a poker table. [01:09:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:09:59] Speaker B: And Norm McDonald rocks up, and you'd be like, hey, Norm, go and do something. Then he'd just be looking at you, like, off. [01:10:07] Speaker C: Yeah, he probably wouldn't. Wouldn't care for that. Focus on his gambling. No. I also loved. I mean, I love that bit about dreaming, too, that he talks about, like, when you sleep and then you wake you're having a dream and you get woken up from the dream, like he's about to, you know, embrace with Christie Brinkley. And then he wakes up and goes back and then he dreams of playing pool with David Brinkley. [01:10:31] Speaker B: Who's David Brinkley? I couldn't be asked to look it up. [01:10:34] Speaker C: He was, I think he was like a newsman that would host like not Meet the Press, but Face the Nation or something like that. One of the political shows. And then the lying bit, I still, I use that bit a lot with my kids. I'm like, what, you, why did you lie? You stand nothing to gain from this lie. Right. Like it's all bit about. Did you see that movie with Meryl Streep and the horse? Yes, many things. Like, why did I lie? There's nothing for me to gain from that lie. I always say that to my kids. Like, you stand nothing to gain from this lie. That's great. My only thing, and I have no criticism really, but if I was gonna criticize it is the last bit is the worst bit, right. About, you know, killing his family. Like the devil told him to kill his family and then he does and stuffs him in a bag and then the guy takes off his mask. It's me, Bob. That's like the worst. [01:11:33] Speaker A: It's a weak one. [01:11:34] Speaker C: It's a weak one to end on. Right. [01:11:36] Speaker B: But God, maybe it wasn't the end. [01:11:40] Speaker C: Yeah. Like Hedberg, you know, there's a 30, maybe there's a 37 minute version out there. But I do appreciate that. And I just thought that, like, comedy during this time, you'd see a headliner and you'd get a half an hour. Right. You wouldn't get an hour. I don't know when that happened. When it inched up to an hour fairly recently. Yeah. [01:12:00] Speaker B: I mean, standard club format was always what, 10 minute host, 20 minute middle, 40 minute headline, something like that. Yeah, that's, that's this. That was what I remember from early nine, you know, late 90s comedy. So this whole hour, hour plus, is just crept in somehow. [01:12:22] Speaker C: Yeah. Where's your eye? [01:12:24] Speaker B: I mean, I get people who are barely a couple of years into comedy saying, oh, I want to record my hour, I want to come my out. [01:12:33] Speaker C: What wants to hear them for an hour? Yeah. Some new comedian. Yeah. So I, I give me more half hour chunks. [01:12:43] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm a fan of the shorter. [01:12:44] Speaker B: Is it me next? [01:12:45] Speaker A: It's you. [01:12:46] Speaker C: It's you, bro. We always go counterclockwise. I hope you got something teed up. [01:12:50] Speaker B: I actually do. [01:12:51] Speaker A: It's gonna be four hours long. [01:12:53] Speaker C: Hope it's not on a jump drive that I can't plug in anywhere, though. [01:12:56] Speaker A: It's gonna be on vinyl. [01:12:58] Speaker C: Okay. [01:12:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:12:58] Speaker C: We could do comedy albums. [01:13:00] Speaker B: Yeah, there's no point in that. You think it is, but there isn't. [01:13:03] Speaker C: All right, so let's just rate this one and then get to Mark's recommendation. I. On a scale of one to four Dobermans. [01:13:14] Speaker B: No, do. Do it based on dog. [01:13:16] Speaker C: Yeah, dog, Doberman, not amount of dogs. [01:13:20] Speaker B: So you've got a very small dog, like a Chihuahua. [01:13:23] Speaker C: Why? [01:13:23] Speaker B: All the way up to a Saint Bernard, you pick a dog in the dog scale. All right. Or don't. [01:13:30] Speaker C: I'll just show wiener dog. Are we referencing the dogs he talked about? [01:13:35] Speaker B: No, just any given dog. That's what makes it fun. [01:13:38] Speaker C: Scale is always about something from the show. [01:13:40] Speaker A: How big a dog is. [01:13:42] Speaker C: Crazy Dobermans. That way it's about a dog. But how many Dobermans? You can do whatever you want. I'm giving it four out of. Out of four Dobermans, I give this 31 Dobermans, six pit bulls, five wiener dogs, and 19 Chihuahuas. Can't give it is the best half hour special in the history of comedy. Boom. That's me dropping the mic. Boom. You heard it here. The best special ever. Chris Lee. [01:14:22] Speaker A: What? What? [01:14:22] Speaker C: You call it Chris Lee? [01:14:23] Speaker A: Why? Who's that? [01:14:25] Speaker C: Long story. [01:14:25] Speaker A: All right. Yeah, I give it the highest marks. This is. I mean, it's Norm MacDonald. And this started decades of some of my favorite comedy. So I was thrilled to see his early material. His. His jumping off point, if you will. [01:14:40] Speaker C: It's great too, because it's like. It's all clean for the most part. He drops a couple F bombs, which surprisingly. But, like, doesn't need to. It's like. It's just. [01:14:47] Speaker A: Yeah, right. The joke doesn't depend on the F bomb. [01:14:49] Speaker C: Yeah. It's so weird. It's perfect. Yeah, perfect. [01:14:52] Speaker A: He was just kind of putting himself out there, and I really enjoyed watching him do so. [01:14:56] Speaker C: So you're giving it what for what? Dobermans? Are you gonna give it something else? [01:14:58] Speaker A: I'm gonna give it four wiener dogs for wiener dogs. Yeah. [01:15:01] Speaker C: Okay. Go do your thing with your small dog, your medium dog, your say a dog. [01:15:06] Speaker A: I've never heard. [01:15:07] Speaker B: All right, so given. Saint Bernard would be the biggest. [01:15:10] Speaker C: Bernard. [01:15:11] Speaker B: Chihuahua. Bernard Smallest, Right? [01:15:14] Speaker C: Saint Bernard, Yeah. Chihuahua, smallest. [01:15:17] Speaker B: Yeah. So I'm gonna go with an Irish setter. [01:15:23] Speaker C: Oh, I see what you're doing here. You're giving it A mid grade. You're saying this is middle? No, Chihuahuas. Irish Setter is smaller than St. Bernard. [01:15:32] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I know it is. It's not a Saint Bernard. [01:15:35] Speaker C: This is a saint burn. You can't give this anything less than a Saint Bernard. [01:15:39] Speaker B: Yeah, I can and I am. [01:15:41] Speaker C: Why then you gotta justify it. [01:15:43] Speaker A: Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day. [01:15:44] Speaker B: Because there's only eight. There's only 17 minutes of it. I'm getting his fault. The opposite reason. [01:15:51] Speaker C: It's not his fault that the special was 17 minutes or 20, whatever minutes long. [01:15:56] Speaker B: I. I think I don't have to justify this to you or anyone. Red setter. End of. [01:16:05] Speaker C: Red setter. [01:16:06] Speaker A: Red. What is that? [01:16:07] Speaker B: Irish Settle. [01:16:08] Speaker C: All right, all right. You're. You're being kind of difficult today. [01:16:11] Speaker B: I know. [01:16:14] Speaker C: Well, I wholeheartedly disagree, but let's. Let's see who we're going to disagree about next week. [01:16:20] Speaker B: But are you. Are you two lobbying for. Because right now it's still Mulaney's Whatever is the best ever special. [01:16:28] Speaker C: We gave that one five out of five. Four out of four. We gave that top marks all across the board. [01:16:32] Speaker B: Mulaney, remember I tried to introduce a new thing where we would have the best of and the worst. So because you two have both given [01:16:39] Speaker A: this fours, and you've given it. Well, it's hard. It's hard to. It's hard to quantify your version because it does to the voting. [01:16:49] Speaker B: The point is. The point is between you two, because I'm out of it. Are you displacing John Mulaney's official best comedy special ever? I am with this one. [01:17:02] Speaker A: Well, no, because you didn't give it [01:17:03] Speaker B: top marks, so it can't matter what I think, though. [01:17:06] Speaker C: But I am. [01:17:06] Speaker B: Two out of the three. Say this is the best. [01:17:10] Speaker A: No, nothing. Nothing so far. [01:17:13] Speaker C: Not better than Melanie. [01:17:14] Speaker A: That kid for me. [01:17:15] Speaker C: Okay? [01:17:15] Speaker A: That's my favorite. [01:17:16] Speaker B: All right, so you can't displace it because there's only one against out of three, so Mulaney. Mulaney retains the crown. [01:17:25] Speaker C: Mulaney, come back. Hit is still the best. Yep. [01:17:30] Speaker B: Suck it up. [01:17:31] Speaker C: All right. All right, friend. Who are we gonna. What? Who are we gonna. Whatever. All I can think about is my cancer. Who we. Who are we gonna watch next week? Assuming I'm still here? [01:17:44] Speaker B: We're gonna watch Todd Barry. Oh, 2023 or 2025. I can't find it. Domestic short hair, which you can find both on YouTube and on to be a dog. [01:18:01] Speaker C: Huh? [01:18:02] Speaker A: Is that a dog too? [01:18:02] Speaker B: Continuing the dog theme. [01:18:04] Speaker C: Domestic Short hair. [01:18:05] Speaker B: Domestic short hair. [01:18:06] Speaker C: And we can find that on. On where? [01:18:08] Speaker B: YouTube. And to be. That's what. That's what popped up. [01:18:13] Speaker C: YouTube. And to be. Okay, cool. I wonder if listeners who are now, like, they. They know who we're gonna watch and then they're like, oh, I gotta watch this before next week. [01:18:22] Speaker A: No, you know, that's what I do with the rewatchables. [01:18:24] Speaker C: I know. And. Hey, did you send him what you sent me? [01:18:26] Speaker A: Nope. [01:18:28] Speaker C: He just.

[01:18:36] Speaker A: No, it's brand new. [01:18:37] Speaker C: It's a new one. [01:18:37] Speaker A: Yep. [01:18:38] Speaker C: I got to listen that. [01:18:41] Speaker B: Interesting. I just forgot something I was going to tell you then. [01:18:44] Speaker C: I always confused Todd Barry and Todd Glass and Todd Glover, you know? [01:18:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:18:50] Speaker A: Do you? [01:18:51] Speaker B: Yeah. They're all. Same ability. [01:18:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:18:54] Speaker B: T. Glove Todd Barry wrote. Wrote about the Lincoln Lodge in his book. He did? Yeah. He wrote one sentence and it said, [01:19:05] Speaker C: who plays the dump? [01:19:07] Speaker B: Oh, he just said they seemed all right and were not annoying or something to that effect. Well, we. We did a show with him at Space in Evanston, and I don't know why he wrote about that particular show, but he did. And he wrote. I did the show with a group called the Lincoln Lodge who seemed nice and were not annoying. And so I. I put that as a pull quote on our rib fest banner. You know, I put like, don't miss timeout. They seem nice and are not at all annoying. Todd Barry. And then I took a picture of it and I tagged him in, like, social media with it. And he. He liked it. He did, yeah. [01:19:51] Speaker C: That's cool. That's great. [01:19:52] Speaker B: So he is a weird guy. I had to drive him around when they were. Remember that show? No, no. [01:19:59] Speaker C: When he was in the early fest. [01:20:00] Speaker B: Yeah, it was in early festival. So I was. I was doing the shuttle runs to the airport. [01:20:05] Speaker C: Yeah, I thought Golfman did those. [01:20:06] Speaker B: No, no, I did them all. And I remember having him. It wasn't Sarah Silverman, because I drove her in my Ford Escort. [01:20:17] Speaker C: This could be a fly in the wall in there. [01:20:18] Speaker B: This was. This was a. This was a rented van with several comedians in them. [01:20:24] Speaker C: That red. Didn't you have that red Ford Escort? [01:20:27] Speaker B: It was white. [01:20:28] Speaker A: They were all white. That's the only color they made. [01:20:32] Speaker C: Who was. Wait, who else was in there? [01:20:34] Speaker B: I don't know. It was like. There was several comedians and I didn't really know any of them, and I Remember thinking Todd of Todd Barry. This. This guy's going to be a, you know, a thorn in my side this entire weekend. [01:20:48] Speaker C: Was he? [01:20:49] Speaker B: Pretty much. [01:20:52] Speaker C: All right, well, it'll be fun. Todd Berry. Domestic animals. [01:20:57] Speaker B: Domestic short hair. [01:20:58] Speaker C: Domestic short hair. [01:21:02] Speaker A: All right. [01:21:03] Speaker C: Wish me well. I hope, I hope I pull through. [01:21:06] Speaker A: Yeah, should be all right. [01:21:09] Speaker C: All tanned up. [01:21:09] Speaker B: Why are you looking at Adidas trainers on you? [01:21:12] Speaker C: I'm looking at a pair of shoes on here. [01:21:14] Speaker B: Oh, that was one thing. Can we rewind one comment about Norm? Yeah, his get up was just great. [01:21:20] Speaker C: Classic 80s comedian. [01:21:22] Speaker B: Classic 80s comedian. [01:21:24] Speaker A: Yep. [01:21:24] Speaker B: Wasn't it like the jacket but then white, white trainers and jeans on. I was like, jesus Christ, that was great. No, no wonder that became like such a goddamn, like classic. What do you call it? [01:21:38] Speaker A: Look? [01:21:39] Speaker C: Yeah, of like the 80s comic archetype. Like Seinfeld. Yeah, same thing. He had the same look to push up sleeves. Usually he doesn't have a sleeve. [01:21:49] Speaker A: Not on stage though. He would wear a suit jacket and all that. Yeah, on stage. [01:21:53] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [01:21:53] Speaker B: That wasn't fashionable in nightclubs for the youth of today, though. It was literally just stand up comedians that dressed. [01:22:01] Speaker C: Nobody else really did. It was a stand up comedian. [01:22:04] Speaker A: It's like wearing a chef's hat. Yeah, it was. [01:22:06] Speaker C: It really was. [01:22:07] Speaker B: You didn't put like Miami Vice on and be like, oh, they look like stand up comedians in this. [01:22:12] Speaker C: Yeah, that's kind of a Miami Vice look. Yeah, but with sneakers instead of espadrilles and a tie. [01:22:19] Speaker B: Yeah, I was thinking that the whole time, like, Jesus, Norm. Classic look. [01:22:25] Speaker C: He shed that look. [01:22:26] Speaker B: Did you ever try rocking that look? [01:22:28] Speaker C: No, I don't think so. [01:22:29] Speaker B: It seems like something you would do. [01:22:31] Speaker C: No, but like I'm. That's the year this came out. Went to the like 8th grade dinner dance or whatever. And my, my mate Adam, he wore an outfit just like that with like the skinny tie and the push up sleeves. Like the sleeves had like elastic on them. So you push them up. Right. So it was just like this. Everybody was dressing like that. [01:22:52] Speaker A: Let's bring it back. [01:22:53] Speaker C: All right. [01:22:53] Speaker A: Can you dress like that during the cabaret? [01:22:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Dressed like. [01:22:56] Speaker C: Try. Yeah. Yes. You gotta get working on that. I'd have to do some.
