Review: Over Your Head, Gallagher

[00:00:08] Speaker A: Come here. Back in. [00:00:10] Speaker B: How about next week on the show we smoke marijuana. [00:00:13] Speaker A: No. [00:00:14] Speaker B: No you don't. Do you take a marijuana cigarette once in a while? [00:00:17] Speaker A: Nope. Because I would. [00:00:19] Speaker B: I know Christian does. He'll burn one down any minute. [00:00:22] Speaker A: I would. [00:00:23] Speaker C: Any minute. [00:00:23] Speaker B: Any minute. [00:00:24] Speaker A: Nice. [00:00:25] Speaker B: Seth Rogen. [00:00:26] Speaker A: I work very hard to keep my brain on a mental even keel and drug intake would just too much. [00:00:34] Speaker B: But you like a Miller Genuine Draft though. [00:00:38] Speaker C: Still like the mgd? [00:00:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I can have one, but I have two and I'm depressed the next day. It's not worth the aggro. [00:00:45] Speaker B: Yeah, I've given up the booze. [00:00:48] Speaker A: I haven't had a full on minging hangover till I went to your shitty party that you organized for Mike Olson with this keg that was about this big of the worst horse piss I've ever tasted. [00:01:02] Speaker B: What are you talking about? When was that? I had a party for Mike Olson. [00:01:06] Speaker A: You did. You chucked a birthday party for Mike Olsen and you bought this keg that was. It was like. It was ridiculous. It wasn't. [00:01:14] Speaker B: It was a pony keg. [00:01:15] Speaker A: Maybe I don't know what it was, but it looked ridiculous and holy, was it bad stuff. And I. I got. I did get tanked and I rode down Ashland Avenue about six miles from wherever. It was just drunk off my ass at like 2 in the morning. And God, did I have a minging. [00:01:38] Speaker B: Hangover after that from that rot gut booth. [00:01:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:42] Speaker B: You know, a couple weeks ago we talked about my. My first wedding, my first marriage anyway and. Which was at the red line now. No, no, we can talk about it now. Nobody. [00:01:52] Speaker C: Cat's out of the bag. [00:01:53] Speaker B: Cats out of that bag. My kids still don't know. They've not listened that episode. [00:01:59] Speaker A: No one has to. [00:02:01] Speaker B: And my mother, God rest her soul, she attended the wedding reception at the Red lion and claimed it was the worst booze she ever had in her life. It was. She called it rot gut booze. Like the most bottom shelf. [00:02:17] Speaker A: What did you do? [00:02:18] Speaker B: Bottom shelf booze. [00:02:19] Speaker A: Did you buy a package? I can't remember shit. [00:02:21] Speaker B: I don't remember. It was open bar, I'll tell you that. Danny, I think was bartending. Danny hated me with a passion. [00:02:30] Speaker A: There was the good guy, was that Mark. And then Danny was the Willy. Willie Ames was. [00:02:37] Speaker B: Yeah, he wasn't the good guy. He was the Williams. [00:02:40] Speaker A: He was the. He was the steroids. Yeah, he was right? Yeah. Oh my God. I had a few run ins in with Willie. [00:02:50] Speaker B: You did? [00:02:50] Speaker A: Oh yeah. [00:02:51] Speaker B: He didn't like you either. [00:02:52] Speaker A: He like anyone because he was roided off his tits. I mean, just like on a hair trigger with the least little thing. [00:02:59] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, he. Well, the thing that did me in with him was I was. I was doing my act in that room and from one. From the. I think she came in from the. The patio and cross the room to go out to the bar to. To get a drink, and I go. I don't remember what exactly I said, but I disparaged her as she walked by and it turned out to be his sister. [00:03:25] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:03:26] Speaker B: Yeah, that did it for me. [00:03:28] Speaker A: I'm sure it was some witticism about her, Sniz. [00:03:31] Speaker B: It was a witticism. I think. I don't want to say, you know, I don't bring back my old act, but. [00:03:38] Speaker A: Well. [00:03:40] Speaker B: Should we get into this one? [00:03:41] Speaker A: Yep. [00:03:43] Speaker B: I don't even know where to begin. I do wish I had been invited to come over to the basement and watch it on vhs. Did you watch it on the vhs? [00:03:55] Speaker A: Not in the basement, but I did watch the vhs. [00:03:58] Speaker B: You watched the VHS of this? [00:04:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Wow. [00:04:03] Speaker B: Why did you have. All right, when we say this, of course we're talking about none other than 1984's Gallagher over the head on VHS. You can get it on VHS. Why did you have a copy of this? [00:04:21] Speaker A: I used to be a thrift store John Keener. If I saw comedy stuff that was weird or bizarre, I would just grab it. It's sitting next to a 10 year catch a Rising Star anniversary cassette. That. Yeah, that might be pretty good. You're gonna love that. It's like, who's on there? It's like, bells is on the bells. Yeah. I mean, it's just. It's just a bunch of dudes in sports jackets. I'll look it up. [00:04:50] Speaker B: Pushed up sleeves. [00:04:50] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And just. But I think that one would. And then like, review that next. And it's like there's pictures of them in a star, you know, collage together. And Pat Benatar's there. And I was like, why is. Like, if Pat Benatar is doing stand up comedy on this cassette, this is worth something. [00:05:10] Speaker B: Wait, this is an audio cassette or is a vhs? [00:05:12] Speaker A: That's a vhs. Yeah, but it says she's just doing a song. So anyway, back to. Back to the disaster in hand. [00:05:22] Speaker B: Christian. Why, why, why. Why did you choose this one first? [00:05:26] Speaker C: I. I can't really answer that. It was. It was just kind of something that flashed through my head. I remember one time I saw a Gallagher skit. It was just like a snippet from one of his specials. And he was sitting at a school desk, and I don't remember what he was talking about, but I remember thinking, wow, that's really smart. Maybe there's more to this guy than I thought. So then when it popped in my. [00:05:44] Speaker B: Head, the snippet was very clever. [00:05:46] Speaker C: It was some sort of wordplay, and he had, like, a clever play on however people normally speak. And I thought, well, maybe there's more. [00:05:54] Speaker B: To this than I realized something of Gallagher. You're a young man. I can't imagine he was ever. [00:06:00] Speaker C: Yeah, I only knew him as the sledge o matic guy, you know, I thought, oh, that must be his whole shtick or whatever until I saw the school desk thing. And I thought, well, maybe I was wrong. So I wanted to kind of explore that and find out. And now I know I was right. [00:06:13] Speaker B: You were right. [00:06:13] Speaker C: I was right about the. [00:06:15] Speaker B: The. The. [00:06:15] Speaker C: The sludge o matic sticky, you know, sort of. [00:06:19] Speaker B: Well, I thought that was the whole shtick as well, but it's not. There's much more here than a lot to unpackage. There's a lot, lot to unpack here. All right, you came in, Mark, with the what? What? Opinions of Gallagher or knowledge of Gallagher, his act. What? [00:06:35] Speaker A: Well, I arrived in the 90s, and he was kind of a byword for, you know, sort of crappy 80s comedy. I didn't really know. I. You know, someone had said about, oh, his. He smashes watermelons up. And I thought, okay, I understand, you know, a big crowd getting into that and whatever. But I didn't know any. If he actually had any comedy per se, because I assume a lot of comedy clubs wouldn't touch him because you can't be smashing watermelon and everywhere, you know, it's not gonna work in a club setting. [00:07:11] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I imagine it would be. He. He'd get full coverage in some. More like zany. So he'd cover over the front side, the back wall, everywhere. [00:07:19] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. So that's all I knew about him. [00:07:23] Speaker B: Well, before we get into that, where. Where is he today? Is he above ground or below ground? [00:07:27] Speaker C: He's below it. [00:07:28] Speaker B: Oh, he's below ground. [00:07:29] Speaker C: 20. [00:07:30] Speaker A: 22. [00:07:30] Speaker B: 22. [00:07:31] Speaker C: Multiple organ failure. [00:07:32] Speaker B: Multiple organ failure. [00:07:34] Speaker A: Did you go to his wiki? [00:07:36] Speaker C: My sister did, and he had that. She was also watching it this morning. [00:07:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Did she enjoy it? [00:07:43] Speaker C: We both felt the same way, I think about it. [00:07:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:47] Speaker A: Did you? On his wiki, he had a really interesting thing. His brother. He had a brother, and his brother said a twin I don't think a twin. He had a brother. And his brother asked him, well, can I just tour around and do your act as well? And Gallagher said, he must look like him then. I don't know. But he. Gallagher said, yeah, fine. The only thing you cannot do is build yourself as Gallagher. Right. You have to be. You have to bill yourself as whatever, you know, Tommy Gallagher or whatever. Right. But you can use all my shit. So for ages, his brother just tore around doing his act. [00:08:25] Speaker B: He really did. [00:08:25] Speaker A: Yeah. And then they had a fallout because he dropped the Tommy and did some kind of, like, trying to disguise, like, his brother. Gallagher said, you can do it as long as you. It's very plainly obvious you are not me. Right. [00:08:43] Speaker B: But you can do my act. Smash this and everything. [00:08:45] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And then his brother kind of obviously probably worked out, no, I'll get way more bookings if I just pretend to be him and get bigger crowds. And so they had a fallout when he started doing that, and Gallagher said, no, this wasn't the deal. But that's just. It kind of reminds me of a thing. I come up with a concept, and I still want to implement this. What if you got a bunch of comedians together and they all wrote a really good act collaboratively. Right. And then he said, all right, we all own this and we're gonna call it. We're gonna set up an act. [00:09:23] Speaker B: Like a comedian cooperative of something. [00:09:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Called. We're gonna set up an act called Comedy 2025. Right. And any single one of us could go and do this act. So you've got a collaboration. You've got things going, you got more voices, so, you know, better thing. And then basically, you're all just a franchise, and you just go around telling the same joke, telling the same jokes in an agreed formula way, and you could just. You could cover the country. You could just go anywhere, and it would be a collaboration. I think there's some legs in that. [00:10:03] Speaker B: You're not serious. [00:10:04] Speaker A: I'm deadly. Comedians used to just be voice pieces of a writing room. Bob Ho. You know, I'm sure there's others. [00:10:15] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. That sounds awful. Doesn't it sound awful? [00:10:18] Speaker C: I thought you're gonna go with, like, how musicals kind of run, you know, like somebody writes a musical and then. [00:10:22] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. [00:10:23] Speaker C: They sell the rights to somebody. Yeah. And then different people go off and do the same musical. You see rent here by these people or rent over there by these people. [00:10:30] Speaker A: Yep. [00:10:33] Speaker B: I can't even get my head around. You're saying people go out and do A generic act. And like, how would you. Why would you care about the person if it was a fucking generic act? Right. [00:10:46] Speaker A: Well, I don't get what you mean. [00:10:47] Speaker B: Meaning, like, comedy is about the individual, Right? Stand up comedy. It's about the individual and their perspective and, and whatever it is they're trying to say or be on stage. But now they're bringing a stock act that other comedians do as well. [00:11:07] Speaker A: Yeah, but you, you bill it as Comedy 2025. [00:11:13] Speaker B: That's like Project 2025 with the Trump. [00:11:17] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:11:17] Speaker B: Thing. [00:11:18] Speaker A: Except it's for comedy. [00:11:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Bad idea. [00:11:21] Speaker A: All right. [00:11:22] Speaker B: Terrible. [00:11:23] Speaker A: We'll see this. This time next year. I'll be a millionaire. [00:11:26] Speaker B: Okay. Anyway, like the touring CO at Second City. [00:11:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:32] Speaker B: Garbage. It's corporate comedy. It's garbage. [00:11:34] Speaker A: All right. [00:11:35] Speaker C: Oh, this is like Rogers meeting Hammerstein right here. [00:11:38] Speaker B: Yes. All right. Where do you want to begin with this? [00:11:43] Speaker A: I mean, there is no beginning, is there? It's just. Just what the shit is. [00:11:47] Speaker C: Comes out on stage. Shooting a gun in the air. [00:11:50] Speaker B: What was that? I couldn't because I watched. [00:11:53] Speaker A: Did you watch it on stream? [00:11:55] Speaker B: Yes, I watched it on. On Net. No, Amazon for free. Amazon prime for free. [00:12:02] Speaker A: Because I had a VHS cassette, so I had this. I had the whole like, all rights reserved. And I had this really cheesy ass. You know how. What you graphic coming in. Did you get that as well, on the stream? Because that was key for me. [00:12:18] Speaker B: What graphic? [00:12:19] Speaker C: There was a. This, the. A yellow picture of the state of Texas kind of like came like swooping through the air. [00:12:26] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, Yeah. [00:12:27] Speaker A: I love that throwback. What that was about. That was the only part of this, like, was the throwback, like 1980s video ident or whatever they call them. [00:12:38] Speaker B: That was the highlight for you, the throwback. So I, I didn't laugh once. At times I was. I wanted to reach through the screen and fucking choke this guy. I've never in my life hated a performer more than I hated. [00:13:02] Speaker C: I was telling my sister, I don't want to say. I can't believe I told my sister. I felt bad for picking it. [00:13:09] Speaker B: Yeah. You know, like when. This is a bad analogy, but like when someone does something terrible in society or whatever, like a shoot, like a mass shooter, you don't. They say, don't even talk about. Don't even say the guy's name. I didn't want to say this guy's name because I don't, I don't want to dignify it. [00:13:25] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, it starts off. [00:13:26] Speaker B: I don't get it on any Level. [00:13:28] Speaker A: Yeah. No, it almost became what? You know, you watch things, you're like, oh, it's so bad. It's good. But it didn't even get to that stage. It kind of passed the so bad. It's good and just went straight to so weird. I'm sort of interested. [00:13:47] Speaker B: I was trying to figure it out like a puzzle for a lot of it. For one, I can't understand why. [00:13:56] Speaker A: This. [00:13:57] Speaker B: Looked like a football stadium filled with people are cheering, going crazy to this guy. What is he doing that's at all entertaining? Or there's nothing funny. There's not a single joke to be had in this whole. [00:14:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:14:10] Speaker B: Or maybe there was, but there was. [00:14:12] Speaker A: Well, there was a little Carrot Top bit of, like, this is a bug or some, but. [00:14:17] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Yeah. [00:14:19] Speaker A: I mean, that was a temp. You know, you could see. Okay, I see this is. [00:14:22] Speaker C: And the horns. The horn for people that can't afford an automobile. [00:14:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:14:25] Speaker C: Just carrying around a car battery with a horn on it, you know? And then he had the Texas. He had the Texas version of it. [00:14:31] Speaker A: You know, he said the new eyes. And then he puts the thing on. You're like, where? The. [00:14:34] Speaker B: The googly eyes thing. Yeah. [00:14:37] Speaker A: I want you to see the world. It's kind of weird how he started off. I started to think maybe he, like, had a mental breakdown and this was shortly after it, you know, like. And, like, people were like, oh, Gallagher, this will be fun. And then he comes out and starts talking about, I'm gonna give you a new perspective on life. And they're like, what, by smashing up? You notice they kept the lights on the audience the whole way through. The house lights are off. Well, they. [00:15:05] Speaker B: They want you to see them get splattered, right? [00:15:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:09] Speaker B: Water. [00:15:10] Speaker A: But I mean, the whole house lights. I don't know. That was weird. And they kept cutting, cutting away to people in the audience laughing, and some of them look seriously demented. Like, then there was two guys in trucker hats who were just, like, precious. I mean, I'm like, what? [00:15:27] Speaker B: These are good old boys? I'm. I'm imagining right down in Texas. Where in Texas are we? [00:15:32] Speaker A: It was Beaumont, Texas. [00:15:36] Speaker B: I imagine, huge. And they're good old boys. And I'm thinking this. First of all, he comes out, and I don't care what his sexuality is, but he's very feminine to me, right? And I'm thinking his trousers, his tight shirt, he's kind of like a. Like a composite of, like, Richard Simmons and Doug Henning together and maybe a little Carrot Top. Sprinkled in. [00:16:03] Speaker A: He reminded me of how Billy Crystal used to play a game. And you know how Billy Crystal would do that? Kind of overly camp. [00:16:10] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like campy. He's like campy. And I'm just thinking like, of all places for this guy. Right. I think maybe San Francisco would be a better venue for him or where his audience would be. Right. He's in Texas. I think they would. They would take him out back and shoot him. [00:16:26] Speaker A: Well, that was the weird thing. So he starts off with sort of, I want to say vaguely right wing things. You know, he's shooting a gun and he's saying the odd thing that, like, you know, it could be vaguely right wing. And then all of a sudden he goes, I'm gonna do a poem about rivers and goes all ecological for the last. [00:16:47] Speaker B: That was bizarre that there was a lot of environmental shit in here. [00:16:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Which like I say, maybe he just had a mental breakdown, decided the planet was dying and was gonna. I don't know. [00:17:01] Speaker B: Well, yeah, well, listen to that first joke he comes out with. And I can't even understand what he's trying to. Did he say, like in Texas he hangs his hat on his lap? Does that mean like his. Yeah, he would hang it on his dick. [00:17:17] Speaker C: Yeah, but why would you need to hang it if it's on your left, you know? [00:17:22] Speaker B: Yeah. So he kind of. It was in no way blue, but he, he did use some profanity. What kept popping up. If I would pause the. The stream on my. On Amazon, it would say rated 16. Like you had to be 16 enough to watch this garbage. Right. Because of the couple swear words I guess he had. [00:17:42] Speaker C: Yeah. He would say that was. [00:17:43] Speaker A: Okay. [00:17:45] Speaker B: You throw a in there. [00:17:46] Speaker A: The oil spill on the globe. Like you even going. [00:17:52] Speaker B: And then he. [00:17:53] Speaker A: Then Texas, you're like, oh yeah, like in Texas you're going to go after oil. Right. [00:17:59] Speaker B: But then that launches into a whole like, like ancient history less lesson about like the Phoenicians. I don't even know what. Talking about what had it to do. [00:18:06] Speaker A: With anything at this point. It's just like. It's just veering wildly. And then he brings the tap dancing woman on. [00:18:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:13] Speaker A: For like, where the hell did this one come from? [00:18:16] Speaker B: And again, what is it that's entertaining to see a woman tap dance and they're going crazy because she's tap dancing. But there's no, there's no nothing funny about it. Right. And it's nothing special about tap dancing. Yeah, he. [00:18:30] Speaker C: And he says just for your entertainment only, you know, here's some tap dancing. And then it turns out she was, what, in the Mickey Mouse Club? Yeah, that's what that was. [00:18:37] Speaker B: The big. [00:18:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:39] Speaker B: And then he brings out. He starts with the props, with the. Well, this is before that. Yeah, the. The ping pong thing. That was horn. [00:18:47] Speaker C: That was the most impressive part, is that he was actually able to play the two ping pong paddles against each other, that he was able to hit them. You know, so they successfully kind of went back and forth. [00:18:57] Speaker A: So everyone used to. I'm gonna ask you Americans, you Yanks. So Carrot Top, did Carrot Top just. Continuation. Was a continuation of Gallagher or was he just all prop? [00:19:11] Speaker C: I mean, carrot. [00:19:12] Speaker B: Maybe we have to do him next. [00:19:13] Speaker C: Yeah, he. He was. I don't know. I don't know about that. I don't know if I can do two of these in a row. I didn't know that Gallagher even used props. You know, of course, Carrot Top's known as, like the prop comic. But when Gallagher was doing. I was thinking, oh, what's he doing? Like Carrot Top stuff. But yeah, I guess so, like, Carrot Top was after Gallagher. So. [00:19:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Gallagher begat Carrot Top as Esau begat Saul and all the shit in the Bible. Yeah. [00:19:42] Speaker A: So Carrot Top said, well, if I take out the tap dancing woman and just keep the good stuff. [00:19:48] Speaker B: Although I don't think he got rights to any of his sledging of fruit. I. There was a couple. There's no point in trying to, you know, talk about his jokes, really. I guess, but. Or his props, for that matter. But he did take a shot at the Jews. Did you catch that one? [00:20:11] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:13] Speaker A: Jews in condos. [00:20:14] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, all the Jews will move. [00:20:17] Speaker A: In when in Texas. [00:20:19] Speaker B: Yeah. So it made me think of, like, is. What is Gallagher? Right. Gallagher's an Irish name. In my experience. In. In the study of his wiki, did you figure out his real name, like Jerry Gallagher? [00:20:34] Speaker A: It's Leo Gallagher. [00:20:36] Speaker B: Oh, that sounds right. [00:20:37] Speaker A: Leo something. Gallagher. [00:20:38] Speaker B: Leo Gallagher. And did. Was he able to continue this act past 1980? This is 84, but yeah, he's going. [00:20:47] Speaker A: All the way in the 2000s, right up until death, I think. [00:20:52] Speaker B: Really? I never hear about him coming around. [00:20:55] Speaker A: I thought I heard something about him coming out with some weird right wing ideas at some point. [00:21:04] Speaker B: Well, these. These ideas. And so, yeah, I think I. I'm. [00:21:11] Speaker A: Going through them all. You know, man. Man with head or pass. That was a bizarre piece. Then the Eco River. The poem talks a lot about. [00:21:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Toxic waste and women going shopping. [00:21:28] Speaker A: Women be shopping. [00:21:29] Speaker C: Going back to the man with the head up his ass. So he says, I'm going to bring out a sound guy. And then a guy in a costume of a man with his head up his ass comes out. What, does he have a problem with the tech people at his shows? [00:21:41] Speaker A: No, that was just a convenient thing, I think, because it happens in the blink of an eye. But he talks about how man evolves to have his head up his ass. He might not have even spotted it because I didn't notice. Together. Yeah. Just before he brings man with head up ass out, he does this spiel where he talks about. And the man ended up with his head up his own ass. And then he brings. [00:22:11] Speaker C: So it has nothing to do with the fact that it's a sound guy? [00:22:13] Speaker A: No, no, that was just a. [00:22:14] Speaker B: He was talking about evolution or something. [00:22:16] Speaker A: Right. [00:22:17] Speaker B: Like, and he. That's when he brought out those animals. Like it's gonna, you know, butterfly is gonna evolve into this, into trash and. And then man is gonna. But I think it was in response to the way we treat the environment. That river bit where he. Which was kind of actually pretty cool. He had that sheet on and then what. What do you think they did? They just. It was just a. I thought that. [00:22:36] Speaker A: Was a green jacker. Well, I think that was just a green screen for the video, wasn't it. [00:22:43] Speaker B: Back then? [00:22:43] Speaker A: No, the audience would have seen that. [00:22:45] Speaker C: Right? That's what I was wondering too. Like, did they have that on a screen like off to the side that they could see? Because the audience was reacting to it. But he was holding up a dark blue sheet because they showed it at the end. Like they turned. Whatever. [00:22:56] Speaker B: I thought that was like a projector screen. [00:22:59] Speaker C: Basic. Well, no, I know it's like a, like a blue, like a green screen sort of thing. And he, like, he was wearing it as like a cape and holding it out, you know. But how did the audience know what to react to? [00:23:09] Speaker A: Yeah, cuz I don't think they could have seen that unless they were playing. [00:23:12] Speaker C: It, you know, like on like monitors, you know, that we can't see. [00:23:15] Speaker A: Well, I think they were just reacting to the poem, which was bizarre. [00:23:18] Speaker B: About the river. [00:23:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:20] Speaker C: How confusing do you think it was to be sitting there? [00:23:23] Speaker B: Not to them. They were just eating it up and like love and everything. Everything. [00:23:30] Speaker A: You could do no wrong, huh? [00:23:33] Speaker B: How about the blimp at the end? What the is that about? What in the. Over the rainbow. Like, what was the rainbow? Just because it was on his head. Like, what does that have to do with anything? [00:23:44] Speaker C: I had Left the room and came back in and that was happening. And at that point I was like, what the. What is going on? [00:23:49] Speaker A: Yeah, it was weird. He just. He pulls a rainbow out of his hat and then just start singing over the rain and then cuts to a film of him on a giant. Well, they had the model of him on a bicycle floating around the auditorium. [00:24:05] Speaker C: So I thought he was actually on that. Like I said, I. I left the room, came back in. I was like, is he on a blimp? [00:24:10] Speaker B: No, no, he didn't. [00:24:11] Speaker C: He wasn't. No, it was just a. I mean. [00:24:13] Speaker A: Obviously they had a model blimp for actually in the theater. You know how they drop T shirts in the Blackhawks game, like that. But then they cut. I assume you watch the credits is. [00:24:24] Speaker B: He was on it. [00:24:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:24:26] Speaker B: But was he in the air on him? [00:24:27] Speaker C: Yeah, he was. He was in the air and he was at like some sort of airfield sort of thing. You could see like airplanes in the background. They must have had an actual blimp. [00:24:33] Speaker A: I think he was on an actual blimp, actually pedaling around his rainbow hat on. I've never seen anything like. [00:24:43] Speaker B: I've never seen anything like this. Yeah. [00:24:45] Speaker A: I think it's a self produced video. I can't see a TV because it, you know, how on the identics, you know, whatever productions. And that instantly tipped me off. It was going to be bad because it's a self produced video. I mean, no TV company could have aired that. [00:25:06] Speaker B: Yeah. But surely I saw him as a kid and I hated him as a kid. Right. And I don't know, all I knew of him was the. Was the smashing. But I. We saw him on TV. He was on TV as a kid here in 1984. I was glued to the TV. I don't know if I saw this. [00:25:24] Speaker A: After Stephen Wright, but before the Unknown Comic. [00:25:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, we should do the Unknown comic. That's a good one. But never. I don't remember sitting through the rest of this direct, you know, I mean, it is. It's as. It's as bad as anything I've ever seen in my life. [00:25:44] Speaker A: It certainly is an amazing thing. One of the things. And I can say this as a slap head all my life. [00:25:53] Speaker B: What's that mean? [00:25:54] Speaker A: Slap head? Just means you're balding you. Oh, I'm a slap head. I was born a slap head. I never got a full head of hair. Always been one. So I'm allowed. [00:26:02] Speaker B: So you haven't lost any hair. You're born. [00:26:04] Speaker A: Yeah, I just never had Balding. Yeah. I never had a full head. A Benjamin Button I am. But anyway, Gallagher's hair just annoys me with the whole, like, bold on top, so long at the back. [00:26:19] Speaker B: Oh, so hard to look at. Like, his whole face. His skin actually looks really good. I thought I made note of that. Like, he's got nice skin, good tash. But those beady eyes and that mustache and that long hair with the. [00:26:34] Speaker A: With the slap head. [00:26:35] Speaker B: With the slap head and the trousers and the tight shirt. It's all bad. [00:26:42] Speaker A: A mime gone wrong. [00:26:46] Speaker B: Okay, well, let's talk about, you know, what. What he is known for, and that's the smashing of the things. Can you think of all the things that he smashed? Now? I surprisingly didn't remember. I thought it was only watermelon. Right. But he only. You only see one watermelon get smashed at the very end. [00:27:06] Speaker C: The big finale. [00:27:07] Speaker B: For the big finale. And did you notice that it was a dud? Like, he smashed it and it, like, just went two feet. It didn't blast the stage. Didn't get it. You didn't get any. Maybe that's why he breaks shrapnel from that one. Yeah, maybe it was like one of those, you know, you get a watermelon that's not. It's not ripe or it's like, overly ripe. It's overly ripe. [00:27:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:28] Speaker B: Yeah. And maybe it was one of those. [00:27:29] Speaker A: Just smushed us into. [00:27:31] Speaker B: But I was surprised. One, that he could handle that sledgehammer. As weak as he looks. Right. He's the weakest looking guy I've ever seen in my life. And two, I was surprised at the. The range of the splatter. [00:27:45] Speaker C: Yeah. How far things went. What do you think the car battery is made out of that? [00:27:49] Speaker B: I. What? Yeah, I. I don't know. But did he blast car battery juice on people? That can't be right. [00:27:56] Speaker A: God knows what fake thing that was. Maybe just a box filled with water and jelly or something. Yeah. [00:28:02] Speaker B: Because you couldn't smash a car battery. [00:28:04] Speaker A: I'm amazed he could get permission from any theater to say, you know, I'm just gonna spray water over it. Because that time he sprays the sprinkler joke. Right. Ah. You didn't check the sprinkler and then just wasn't just him with a little water pistol. It was full on. Right. [00:28:21] Speaker B: Yeah. And so you gotta imagine the fan of Gallagher, and I can't get inside the head of someone who likes Gallagher. But all these people come to the show and it must be like, they must have had to sleep on the sidewalk overnight to get. Because this is back before the Internet to get the tickets to the front row of Gallagher. And that must have been like the biggest thing. Like we got front row to Gallagher or even third row for Gallagher get blasted. Right. And that was the whole draw. And so I think these people put up with all this direct that he's to the. It's really like environmental like brow beating and how the world is going to shit act just so they can get splattered on by a fucking watermelon. I mean, it's a name that this. People would enjoy this. [00:29:10] Speaker A: It is amazing. I remember a big. A big applause break was. He's like, why do they put candy by the register? The kids are going to ask for it. It's. Yes, everyone knows they do it. [00:29:22] Speaker C: That's why they do it. [00:29:23] Speaker B: But listen, in 1984, I think this was new. Right. Like it's not as commonplace as it is now. Like they just figured out to put the candy there. Right. That was a big deal at the time. Yeah, it was very dated, I guess, this act. How about his Social Security Act? That was very apropos or for these times and I. And that was the one thing like he called. Called it. So. So. [00:29:50] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, that's pretty good. [00:29:53] Speaker B: I see that being a headline. [00:29:55] Speaker A: Again, kind of left wing and he's. [00:29:57] Speaker B: It's very left wing. You said right wing. [00:30:01] Speaker A: No, he had. There were right wing tinges and stuff. [00:30:04] Speaker B: He was playing to his audience. Maybe. [00:30:05] Speaker A: Maybe. Yeah. You know, I mean a gun, the whole gun bed and da, da. And then he would suddenly swing left wing and I'm like, oh, he seemed. [00:30:13] Speaker B: Very lefty to me. But he did talk about Texas seceding from the union. [00:30:19] Speaker A: Huge. Yeah. So they could invade Cuba. [00:30:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:22] Speaker B: So no, they can attack Cuba. [00:30:24] Speaker A: Yeah. So that's right wing, isn't it? [00:30:26] Speaker B: This is right in the middle of the Cold War. [00:30:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:28] Speaker B: This is before the wall came down, Right. [00:30:32] Speaker A: Ah, there's nothing really to say about this. [00:30:35] Speaker B: No, there's more. [00:30:38] Speaker C: There's more to have an entire just message about environmentalism than to end it with a display of food waste, you know, and the way he does. [00:30:46] Speaker A: And then he smashes up a newspaper vending box. [00:30:49] Speaker B: Right? [00:30:49] Speaker C: Yeah, that's the other thing. [00:30:50] Speaker B: And it didn't really do any damage. [00:30:52] Speaker C: And everybody cheered when he got the paper. I was like, what do you mean? The paper that you took? Yeah, you got to pay for those. [00:30:56] Speaker B: Was that an attack on the media? [00:30:58] Speaker C: That's what I was trying to figure out. Is this against the newspaper or the fact that you have to pay for the paper in the box? You don't have to buy a paper. [00:31:03] Speaker A: Caz. I was trying to see on the box, is it like a leftist? [00:31:07] Speaker B: Same thing. [00:31:07] Speaker C: I was trying to read. Like, I don't think that was the point. I think he was just like, is it annoying that you have to put quarters in this thing to get a paper? Yeah, I got. [00:31:16] Speaker A: No, maybe he just said to the stage hands, I need some more shit. Whatever you. [00:31:21] Speaker C: Whatever's out front. [00:31:22] Speaker A: Yeah. And they were just like, let's drag this news. [00:31:24] Speaker C: They couldn't. They couldn't get the mailbox off the sidewalk. [00:31:26] Speaker A: So they. Yeah. [00:31:31] Speaker B: Yeah. And then. And then. I mean, it's. It's. And then he talks. Well, I gotta go be with my kids now. You know, I've got a young kid. And they go, there, Amy, there you are up there. And they show, like, the dangling legs at the top of the rafters and like. And then they show the, like the stack of chairs that, like, why would you put all that effort into building that and doing that for that fucking joke? That doesn't even make sense. [00:31:57] Speaker A: No. Well, right at one point. But he goes. He is. What I want you to take away from this. Wait. Is to. Is to just ask why? And I'm thinking, the entire audience has. [00:32:12] Speaker B: Been thinking, but they're not. [00:32:14] Speaker A: We've all been thinking that for an hour, Gallagher. [00:32:19] Speaker B: Yeah. It was like being on drugs watching this thing. Right? Like, none of it made any sense. Yeah. When he says, just ask why. Like, he's this change agent that wants you to really think about why things are done. Like challenge social constructions. And this is his. This is his big insight. You want to put sour cream on your French fries and ketchup on your baked potato. Go ahead. It was like a standing ovation. [00:32:50] Speaker A: Like, we finally have permission. [00:32:52] Speaker B: Do it your way. Yeah. You want to put like what? Yeah, and that was kind of. That was kind of it. [00:33:00] Speaker C: He's a laid back bro. [00:33:02] Speaker A: We should have waited for Croius to be in town for your May 28th. You're doing a big tour. [00:33:08] Speaker B: I got it. No, I got to. I got to talk to you about that booking. [00:33:11] Speaker A: Is it a whole Midwest tour? [00:33:13] Speaker B: It's a tour of the Midwest, but this is a special event. An Evening with Adam Croesus reintroducing. [00:33:22] Speaker A: One of yours used to go to. I came. He used to do an impression of Matt Andrews and he. [00:33:28] Speaker B: Oh, he's been doing it this week. [00:33:29] Speaker A: On the Infinite Wisdom Penguins. [00:33:33] Speaker B: This Weekend I'll be at Penguins in Cedar Rapids. [00:33:37] Speaker A: That's the one. [00:33:40] Speaker B: Bert Haas, in his infinite wisdom, didn't see. I mean, he's bookable. [00:33:47] Speaker A: He's not still doing the exact same line. [00:33:49] Speaker B: Matt Andrews is dead. [00:33:51] Speaker A: I know. Matt Andrews has been in the ground rest in 15 years. [00:33:55] Speaker B: He was born with his intestines on the outside of his body. He's actually a miracle of science, medicine. [00:34:03] Speaker A: We should do a Matt Andrews. He used to tell me some of the stories of him and his brother did downstate. [00:34:10] Speaker B: Yeah, they're downstate Illinois boys. [00:34:11] Speaker A: Sanity. [00:34:13] Speaker B: Yeah. He was a troubled individual. Spent a lot of nights in the back of the Monkey Bar with him and Laurie. Holy shit. [00:34:21] Speaker A: Oh, my God. I think his brother went down river for phoning in a bomb scare. [00:34:27] Speaker B: Yeah. I do remember him talking about his brother in prison quite a bit as part of his act. His brother was really bad. [00:34:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Holy shit. Like, what's going on in downstate Illinois? Kids being born with their stomachs on the outside and then they're just running wild. [00:34:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Did you ever see the scar? Do you ever show you. [00:34:46] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Occasionally. [00:34:48] Speaker B: Look like a David Cronenberg. [00:34:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:50] Speaker B: Body horror movie. [00:34:52] Speaker A: I always told him he should do a bit about Total Recall with the three tits. Yeah. I used to be. Yeah. Do you remember? [00:35:04] Speaker B: Yeah, Quato. Yeah, the alien living in his back or his belly. Right. Yeah. He should have done a whole act on that. Well, whatever he was doing, they loved it up in Cedar Rapids. And penguins this weekend. Yeah, he. Croesus did that. I'll show you. This week he quoted Andrews in Penguins at Cedar rapids. Yeah. So May 29, an evening with Adam Croesus and Reintroducing Khalil will be his opener. Some double billing there at the Lincoln Lodge. If I can get it booked. If I can. If I can get the space. I gotta talk to Borky, though. [00:35:42] Speaker A: Better be better than Gallagher. [00:35:44] Speaker B: Oh, I know it'll be better than Gallagher. Well, you know, I couldn't help two things went through my mind while watching this program. One is every episode or every. Sorry, every special of Gallagher's just like this, you know? You know you're going to get the smashing. But is his act always this way, or did he have some kind of psychotic break or something? [00:36:07] Speaker A: No, no, no. Actually, I need to go to Wikipedia because there's a good quote from him. He says he basically complained, like most old acts, oh, they won't put me on TV anymore. And then in his quote, he says that they gave him like 11 specials and he Basically invented the genre of the comedy. Special comedy. [00:36:36] Speaker B: He may have. Right. [00:36:37] Speaker A: Which is interesting. Blah, blah, blah. For more than 30 years he played between 100 and 200 shows a year. Legacy, legacy. He always it. Comedy Central rated him the hundredth best stand up comedian of all time. Which is kind of an insult because that means you're the bottom of the hundred list. Right. [00:37:00] Speaker B: But you're on the list. [00:37:01] Speaker A: And he said, I looked at other people and I was trying to find anyone I ever heard of that sounds like an old comedian. How could I be? I made 13 one hour shows for Showtime. [00:37:14] Speaker B: Oh, he was a show. He was. [00:37:15] Speaker A: Which are all available on videotape. I invented the one man show on camera, cable. [00:37:23] Speaker B: I wouldn't argue with it. [00:37:24] Speaker A: I don't know. I wasn't here. [00:37:28] Speaker B: So yeah, wouldn't argue with it. So I thought that like. Does he do this? Is this the same act every time? Probably so. I don't know. That weird environmental. But the other thing I thought of while watching him was how he, how badly he would get raped in prison. I don't know why I kept thinking about that. Because he's so thin and effeminate. Right. Like if he were to be in prison, they would have a time with him, wouldn't they? [00:37:53] Speaker A: I guess. But why would he go to. He can't send someone to prison. [00:37:55] Speaker B: I know my, my kid is watching the show Prison Break and it's always on in the house. You know, there's a lot of illusions to the raping going on there. I just couldn't help but think about him being in prison. [00:38:07] Speaker A: So that's how you view. View how, how. Right. [00:38:11] Speaker B: Badly they would be. They'd all, we'd all be raped. [00:38:14] Speaker C: How would Adam Sandler do. [00:38:18] Speaker B: Better than Gallagher. But he'd also be raped. You might be all right. You're kind of burly. You would be turned out quick. But you, you, you're crafty. You'd figure out a way to, you know, keep yourself from being raped by like fixing things for guys, fixing their bunks or getting. Making shivs for them or something. [00:38:42] Speaker A: I think if I ever went to prison, I'd be in with the governor real quick. I'd be. Yeah, a little bit like Andy Dufresne. [00:38:49] Speaker B: Mean. Oh, you'd be with a warden. [00:38:51] Speaker A: The government governor would realize, oh, this is a guy. [00:38:54] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. Yeah, you'd be in. [00:38:55] Speaker A: I'd be, I'd be Andy Dufresne. And then there I would gain protection that way. [00:39:00] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, that's what I Meant by that. Yeah. Savvy. That way. I would be raped ceremoniously on day one. They'd be taking turns. [00:39:08] Speaker A: He'd be the guy. Well, that's kind of black, actually. They remember Andy Dufresne goes into prison and the one guy just kills himself within a week. [00:39:19] Speaker B: Brooks had one. Yeah. Because he's institutionalized. He can't. [00:39:22] Speaker A: Oh, no, that's. No, I'm talking about when they go in, he goes in with two other guys. Oh. And they sort of run the gamut of the, you know, the other prisoner, like, wolf whistling. Hey, I'm going to. And there's this sort of tubby lad who's with Andy Dufrain. [00:39:40] Speaker B: Hangs himself or something. [00:39:41] Speaker A: Yeah. They make his life a hell. And within a week he's like dead ski. But Dufresne, like, guts it out. [00:39:49] Speaker B: Yeah. I would like the routine and everything, the, you know, like, the camaraderie of, you know, being in prison. But I don't think I, you know. [00:39:57] Speaker C: You know, it's a really good special that we're reviewing. When it ends with discussion about rape and suicide, that's. [00:40:03] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:40:04] Speaker B: So how do we. How do you rate this special? Very special. [00:40:10] Speaker A: No. What are we doing now? We're doing that unspecial, I'd say. [00:40:18] Speaker B: Intriguing. [00:40:19] Speaker C: It was certainly interesting. I mean, you're looking at kind of like the Larry the Cable Guy. Remember we did that one and it's like. Well, I mean, all these people showed up for it. I mean, he did it. You know, He. [00:40:32] Speaker B: He. [00:40:33] Speaker C: He did what he went to do. [00:40:35] Speaker B: He did. He did. [00:40:37] Speaker A: But this isn't even subjective. Bombing. This is who he didn't bomb. Who would? Who would? This isn't even subjective. Like. Oh, well, like, I understand the jokes. I don't like them. This is a. I don't understand what the hell went on for this hour. [00:40:54] Speaker B: I don't. Yeah, I don't either. But I did also think there was in some of my acts. I was maybe trying to do some Gallagher type stuff where one time I was throwing deli meats out at the crowd. [00:41:11] Speaker A: How have we spent the most time on any special with the thing that we all agree was the talking about prison. [00:41:20] Speaker B: Wait, we're already over time. [00:41:21] Speaker C: We're at 40 it for you. [00:41:23] Speaker A: And, like, most of them come in around 33. Because I'm editing them now. [00:41:26] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I'd like to keep going, but. [00:41:30] Speaker A: All right, we keep going if you want. [00:41:32] Speaker B: We can't end it now. Not on this. Yeah, but the idea of throwing Stuff out of the crowd, like Gallagher does. Right. Is anyone else doing that right now or back then where you're getting splattered or. There's got to be something. [00:41:49] Speaker A: I mean, like things like Blue Man Group do it. Not a comedian, though. [00:41:53] Speaker B: Yeah, there are this Blue Man Group. [00:41:57] Speaker C: Even splatter the audience, though. [00:41:59] Speaker A: They used to. Yeah, they used to give the front six rows because they did the water drums and all that. [00:42:06] Speaker B: Yeah. But you know what it is like, though? You ever seen a movie in 4D? 4D movies. Have you not heard of this? That's like a Gallagher movie. [00:42:15] Speaker A: It's the old. Remember, Kentucky Fried movie? And they do feel around. [00:42:20] Speaker B: No, I know the movie, but yeah. [00:42:22] Speaker A: They do the feel around sketch. So, like, when they go like, is that your perfume? And the guy sprays a little perfume near him. [00:42:29] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah. It's like that. [00:42:30] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:42:31] Speaker B: You get a mist of water, it. [00:42:33] Speaker A: Shakes your chair and like the movie matinee. Do you remember that? [00:42:38] Speaker B: John Goodman matinee. [00:42:39] Speaker A: Very good movie. [00:42:40] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't remember it. [00:42:42] Speaker A: Well, basically he invents like a. In the 60s, they used to invent Cinemascope and this and Smell O Vision and all this. And it's. The story is that he invents this like totally immersive cinema experience. I remember, like at one point, the guy dressed as the monster runs out of. [00:43:03] Speaker B: Into the theater trying to soup up the matinee. [00:43:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:43:08] Speaker B: Can you hear me chewing eyes? [00:43:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:11] Speaker B: You hear that? [00:43:12] Speaker C: No, not at all. [00:43:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:14] Speaker C: What are you talking about? [00:43:15] Speaker B: Does it come through in your headphones? Last thing. I just want to share with you. I've changed my life. Do either. You guys snore? I know you must. You look like you could fucking saw off. [00:43:26] Speaker C: I've never really been a snorer. [00:43:27] Speaker B: No? [00:43:28] Speaker C: No. [00:43:29] Speaker B: So you're able to sleep with your mouth closed? [00:43:31] Speaker C: Yep. [00:43:32] Speaker B: How about you? I imagine your mouth's completely agape. Like this. [00:43:37] Speaker A: It might be. You'd have to ask my missus. [00:43:39] Speaker B: Well, she doesn't tell you. You snore. You've. You would have heard about it. [00:43:41] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I think. I don't think I. [00:43:43] Speaker B: Do you got separate bedrooms? [00:43:45] Speaker A: No. I mean, I would hear about snoring, obviously. Anyway. [00:43:51] Speaker B: Well, I've secured my snoring. [00:43:53] Speaker C: Oh, congratulations. [00:43:54] Speaker B: It's been a battle for. With my wife for 20 years. She's always waking me up in the night, pushing me in the back to roll over, to stop because I'm on my back. I really saw logs and I've cured it. [00:44:08] Speaker C: What'd you do? [00:44:08] Speaker B: It's not a CPAP mask. [00:44:10] Speaker A: So you sew tennis balls onto the back of your pajamas, and then you don't lie on your back because that's brilliant. [00:44:18] Speaker B: Yeah, you gotta get a patent on that. Pajamas with tennis balls in the back. What the fuck is. No, it's as simple as. This is a special tape that you put over your mouth, and it keeps your mouth shut. [00:44:31] Speaker C: I've seen this. Yep. [00:44:32] Speaker B: And it works like a bastard. It works. And I had a great night's sleep because you're snoring. You're getting terrible sleep. My wife's not waking me up. She's sleeping. [00:44:41] Speaker A: Well, when you choke on your own vomit, like Jim, you might. [00:44:45] Speaker B: You might. Yeah. If that happens, it's kind of dangerous. Like, I'm having a ball gag in your mouth. So to celebrate where. I'm going home right now with the Cubs rain delay and I'm gonna plow my wife. [00:44:58] Speaker C: All right, you're gonna sleep without snoring. [00:45:00] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:45:01] Speaker B: You have a nap without snoring. All right, next week, we'll be reviewing Carrot Top. No, Chairman of the board. [00:45:08] Speaker A: I. I tried to watch that movie once. I think I got 20 minutes in. We are not doing that. [00:45:14] Speaker B: All right, who's it going to be, Chris? [00:45:15] Speaker C: I'll text you by Tuesday. [00:45:17] Speaker B: All right, we'll leave everybody. Leave it as a cliffhanger. [00:45:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:45:20] Speaker B: For our loyal listeners. Who are they going to review next week? We've got to know. [00:45:25] Speaker A: Oh, I got some feedback from someone who actually listens to this shite. [00:45:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:31] Speaker A: And he said you should put in a recommendation before every show. We recommend you watch this. [00:45:38] Speaker B: And it's not necessarily the show we're reviewing. It's just a recommendation. [00:45:42] Speaker A: No, you should watch the show we're about to review because it will be enhanced by. [00:45:47] Speaker B: Oh, like, for the next show. [00:45:49] Speaker A: No, no, no. [00:45:50] Speaker B: If they're listening to the show, how can they watch it? Just stop listening. [00:45:53] Speaker A: Pause. Yeah. [00:45:54] Speaker B: And go watch. [00:45:55] Speaker C: Oh, I guess. Yeah. Like, there's this podcast that I like called the Rewatchables, and they. Yeah, tell me about you. [00:46:01] Speaker B: Like. [00:46:01] Speaker C: Oh, you've heard it. Okay. They always start with, like. [00:46:04] Speaker B: Hey. [00:46:04] Speaker C: Well, I guess they used to. They used to say, like, if you haven't seen the movie, go watch that first. Before. Watch before listening to this. And that's what you. I mean, that's what you got to do now. I'll just. I'll just watch it like an old movie, and then I'll just see if they've reviewed it. [00:46:16] Speaker B: And normally they have, and then you'll listen to their. [00:46:18] Speaker C: And then I'll listen to them talk about it. [00:46:20] Speaker B: People actually like this. They want to hear people talk about this shit. Yeah. [00:46:23] Speaker C: And I imagine it's probably way better if you've seen the special. Otherwise you just be listening to a few people talk about something you've never seen. [00:46:30] Speaker B: We're onto something here. We've. We've drilled into something. Something special going on. [00:46:35] Speaker C: Well, I put special. [00:46:37] Speaker A: I put some text in the episode description to say, you know, watch it. But, I mean, you should know that. Anyway, the name of the specials there. But, you know, I even thought about putting hot links to. If it's on YouTube or whatever. I don't know. [00:46:53] Speaker B: Yeah. So maybe it's a little too late, but. Listeners pause the show now and go out and rent a VCR and try to find a copy of Gallagher over your head. Why do you think it's called over your head? [00:47:10] Speaker C: It's a play on words for the. For a joke being over your head. Of course. But then he does the whole blimp thing. [00:47:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:16] Speaker C: You know, or maybe people are. People are in over their head when it comes to ecological. To water. [00:47:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:23] Speaker B: Over my head. [00:47:24] Speaker C: Purity. [00:47:26] Speaker B: All right. [00:47:27] Speaker A: We did both. We all agreed it's a Not special. [00:47:32] Speaker C: I think we agreed in the first minute of this podcast. [00:47:34] Speaker B: No, I think it's. It needs to be watched, not enjoyed, but it needs to be watched. [00:47:39] Speaker C: It needs to be observed. [00:47:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Or absorbed. Whatever. It needs to be watched. [00:47:43] Speaker A: All right. [00:47:44] Speaker B: You need to have that point of reference in your life. Everybody does. Gallagher. Good night, everybody.
