Review: Practical People Win, Zarna Garg

[00:00:08] Speaker A: I got aroused when I went in the women's bathroom. Does that happen to you? [00:00:13] Speaker B: No, I get grossed out. [00:00:15] Speaker C: Really? [00:00:16] Speaker B: That's pretty. Yeah, I have to clean the toilets, so. You know what is surprising is women do way more illegal drinking in their toilet. One time I found six shot bottles, pink Whitney, which is some like, shitty thing. And then what was that really weird tin I found? That Jenna knew what it was. [00:00:40] Speaker C: Oh, I don't. I don't remember. I don't know. [00:00:45] Speaker B: Anyway, if you're. If you're looking, if you think you're gonna find minute, you know, smuggled miniatures, it's always in the women's. [00:00:51] Speaker C: Well, do you think it might be because you find them in the tampon trash, which is a very small one. So they're more likely to be closer to the top than they are to be at the bot. The large bins in the men's room. You know, like if you toss an empty pink Whitney bottle in the men's garbage, it's quickly covered up by paper towels. [00:01:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I guess men probably try and flush them down the toilet too. It's women that are more likely to flush things down the toilet. They've got to be told. [00:01:20] Speaker B: No, they have the. That's why they have the little tampon bins. [00:01:25] Speaker A: Yeah. This is sounds so good. Jesus. It sounds like I'm inside the D drain in my headphones. [00:01:34] Speaker B: I was gonna cut out though. [00:01:36] Speaker A: No, you're not. Why? [00:01:37] Speaker B: It's kind of sexist. [00:01:39] Speaker A: Why? Cuz we talking about women's bathroom. Yeah, it's not that bad. [00:01:42] Speaker C: It's the reality. [00:01:43] Speaker A: It's reality. [00:01:44] Speaker C: Yeah. This is the world we live in. [00:01:46] Speaker A: Do you have a sign in there that says tells women. [00:01:48] Speaker C: Tells women throw your empty pink Whitney bottles into the tampons. [00:01:53] Speaker A: Not to flush their thing down the toilet. [00:01:55] Speaker C: Yeah, you do. [00:01:57] Speaker B: No. [00:01:58] Speaker A: Well, most places do, but I noticed you're giving out free ponds in there. Free tampons. Just a box. [00:02:05] Speaker B: Yeah. No, actually an interesting story behind that. So I'm not sure who. Who. Someone put a free box there one time. [00:02:14] Speaker C: It was porky. [00:02:14] Speaker B: It was bulky. Okay. And I thought, you know what? That's a good idea. It's a nice little value added torch. Right, Right. That the venue can do. So I just started buying the Tamaras at Jewel and just putting them out. But what I noticed is this. And this is an interesting. What is it? Societal experiment. [00:02:34] Speaker C: Sociological. [00:02:36] Speaker B: Sociological. When I put a brand new box out of 20 tomorrows, they would be like almost gone immediately. [00:02:46] Speaker A: 20 tomorrows. That's the name of the brand of [00:02:48] Speaker C: tampon or is that a Britishism? [00:02:50] Speaker B: No, Tamara, tampon, that's a brand. No, it's just a stupid way to say it. Look, let's not get bogged down. [00:02:56] Speaker C: British corner. What do we call it? British talk. [00:02:58] Speaker A: So I'm not following. [00:03:00] Speaker B: Anyway, let's get to the point. The point is, is when I put a brand new box out with like 20 in there next morning, next like 16 gone, I'm like, wow, there must have been menstruating last night. [00:03:14] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Seeing like 15, but, but then related to the moon. [00:03:17] Speaker B: But then the last few would just go really slowly. [00:03:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:24] Speaker B: And I, and then I twigged, I was like, I know what happens here. You put a full box out, some, you know, some likely gal walks in and goes, oh, free supply. [00:03:33] Speaker A: I'll grab eight of these. [00:03:34] Speaker C: Grab some for later, some piece of shit, some for tomorrow. [00:03:37] Speaker B: Yeah, but, but I'm not going to take them all because that might hurt my sisters. [00:03:43] Speaker C: Yeah, they don't want to be greedy. [00:03:44] Speaker B: Right. So now what I do is rather than putting out a full box, I just meter them out four or five at a time and that way we don't lose 15 immediately and then kind of atrophy. [00:03:57] Speaker A: Well, that's why they have the dispenser in higher end places, you know, on the wall. [00:04:03] Speaker B: I don't sneak into high end women's toilets. [00:04:07] Speaker A: Might just do some research. You should say have a sign there if you need a tampon. See Christian at the bar, he'll give you one. [00:04:17] Speaker C: Places do that. Do they really? That, no, that is. Oh no, I'm thinking about hotel. No, I'm thinking about if you're unsafe. There's like, there's like a safe where you can tell the bartender if you're on. [00:04:27] Speaker A: Oh yeah, well, yeah, but why don't they have, they have tampons that are like those, those bullets that they, a woman will put in there. But why don't they have pads? They never hand out pads. I have a whole gross of pads at my house. Can I bring those in? And would you put them out? [00:04:46] Speaker C: Maybe just more space. Efficient. [00:04:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:49] Speaker C: To hand out tampons or are they, are they more. [00:04:51] Speaker A: It assumes a young gal. [00:04:53] Speaker C: Right? [00:04:53] Speaker B: Yeah, we need, we need general. [00:04:56] Speaker C: Yeah, we need, we need an expert. [00:04:58] Speaker A: Yeah, well, there's one out there. [00:05:02] Speaker C: Maybe we get a call in. Yeah, call us right now. Text her to call in. [00:05:06] Speaker A: Yeah, see if she'll call in. We're, we're trying out all the equipment today. [00:05:11] Speaker B: Huh? [00:05:11] Speaker A: The phone. No, see, will we get a better call today because we're plugged. You're plugged in. [00:05:17] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, we would get, and I don't know, because we would get the one that would be similar to the Jerry Seinfeld episode when you called in, but [00:05:22] Speaker A: if you called it through your computer, it would be. [00:05:24] Speaker C: No, it's not coming through my computer, it's coming through my phone. [00:05:28] Speaker B: Do you have an app on the computer where people. [00:05:30] Speaker A: A Google phone. [00:05:31] Speaker C: You know. You know what, actually, I went to set up our Google phone number and now you have to send them a photo of your government issued ID to do so, and I'm not doing that. [00:05:42] Speaker A: We can use mine, I guess. [00:05:43] Speaker C: Sure, yeah. You want to give them your ID [00:05:46] Speaker A: or one of my youth's fake IDs? [00:05:47] Speaker B: Well, no, we have Google. We have Google phone for the training center. [00:05:52] Speaker C: Right. It wasn't that way maybe four months ago when I set one up for the tech thing. You know that tech emergency hotline that I set up? That's Google number. You didn't need it back then, but last week when I went to set ours up. Now you need to prove to them who you are, which I guess makes sense. You know, you can't just have any Yahoo. I'm sure they ran into some issues. I'm sure Google ran into issues with the Yahoo. Hey. Hey. [00:06:20] Speaker A: Well, I see you eyeballing these snacks in front of me means you want them. [00:06:24] Speaker B: All right, listen, went to the doctors this week, the Fat Master Day. [00:06:29] Speaker A: You went to the doctor. This is the one that Heather implored you to go and get. Get looked at. You get a panel. [00:06:34] Speaker C: No more hot dogs jumping on the bed. [00:06:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Two more off the Jewel diet. Two glucose and two cholesterol. I got a tamper. [00:06:42] Speaker A: How bad? How off the charts? Did you see the results in the chart? [00:06:46] Speaker B: So, you know, you have yellow, green, red. Right? [00:06:50] Speaker C: So maybe wake up a little bit. [00:06:52] Speaker A: Yeah, yellow, green, red. [00:06:53] Speaker B: I'm a little bit into the red, I think. [00:06:56] Speaker A: Well, all mine were off the charts. That's why, you know, I had all that, all those problems. But if you're a little off, it's not bad, eh? [00:07:04] Speaker B: I'd rather not get to where I'm losing legs and ST stuff. [00:07:07] Speaker A: So you think they're going to start amputating digits? You're going to nubs for hands. [00:07:11] Speaker B: My old man always said I'd end up diabetic because I was such a sugar fiend. So as weighed on me over the years. [00:07:19] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, you love sugar. Yeah, well, these aren't sugar. Because last week I brought in such high end sugar items from the farmer's market, I had to scale it back this week and limit the budget. I've got two bags here. You can choose. These are from my son's lunch. Yesterday he was sick. He did not go to school, but the lunch was already made. [00:07:40] Speaker C: Yeah, right. [00:07:41] Speaker A: So you don't want to just throw out the lunch. [00:07:42] Speaker C: No. [00:07:44] Speaker A: And today he. He was off to Washington D.C. for his eighth grade trip. So here's from his lunch. He has two crisps. One is. It's like a mustardy pretzel, I think of some kind. And then these are just a classic. They plain potato chips. You like a classic potato chip? Why are you wanting flavor? [00:08:04] Speaker B: I'm not eating plain crisps like it's the 18th century. [00:08:09] Speaker A: I don't know for sure. I didn't pack the lunch. That's a plain crisp. It's the ode to the classic potato chip from Trader Joe. Would you like it? [00:08:17] Speaker C: No, thank you. How about these? The pretzels I would take. Here we go. Thanks. [00:08:22] Speaker A: Let me try one before you get it over. [00:08:25] Speaker C: See if they're any good. You might want to keep them. [00:08:27] Speaker A: No, I just want to try them. [00:08:29] Speaker B: You know that poem, good flavor? [00:08:31] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:08:32] Speaker B: You know that poem? Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his [00:08:35] Speaker A: wife could eat no lean. [00:08:37] Speaker C: I didn't know. [00:08:38] Speaker B: That's me and the Mrs. She's like a total crisp, salty fiend and I'm just chocolate all the way. Between us, we polish off the snack aisle. [00:08:51] Speaker A: What about a chocolate covered pretzel you'd both go for? [00:08:53] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. No, those could be heartburn. You ever notice that something with the chocolate they give you heartburn? That's got to be the chemicals that they use. [00:09:02] Speaker B: The rate our bar staff go through the bloody things. [00:09:04] Speaker C: I never see anybody eating the chocolate covered pretzels. [00:09:07] Speaker B: They fessed up. [00:09:08] Speaker C: Who? [00:09:09] Speaker A: Did you have them for sale back there? [00:09:10] Speaker B: Both Claire and Jenna. [00:09:11] Speaker C: No way. [00:09:12] Speaker B: Wolf them down. [00:09:13] Speaker C: They must hide. [00:09:14] Speaker A: Are they for sale? The chocolate covered pretzels? [00:09:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:16] Speaker A: What, the Goobers? [00:09:18] Speaker C: No, Goobers are chocolate covered peanuts. [00:09:21] Speaker B: Yeah. I can't remember what they're called. [00:09:23] Speaker C: Flips. [00:09:24] Speaker B: Flips. But I think the Dollar store stopped doing them now. So they're sol. [00:09:28] Speaker C: Oh, well, you're gonna find their fix elsewhere. [00:09:32] Speaker A: You're gonna have to get off that Dollar store diet if you want to get those numbers right. [00:09:37] Speaker B: That's a fallacy that you perpetuate. Have you got an. [00:09:43] Speaker C: Have you got a. I've gotten so many complaints about this. [00:09:45] Speaker B: Have you got a Sound effect. [00:09:49] Speaker C: Let's see. [00:09:51] Speaker A: Nice. [00:09:51] Speaker C: That doesn't negate it, I guess. [00:09:54] Speaker A: What's a fallacy? That the dollar store food is good for you? [00:09:58] Speaker B: No, no, that I. That I live on it. [00:10:00] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I don't know. I've seen it. See you eating a lot of it. All right, well, you saw me earlier in the lobby doing child's pose because I got a back impingement. I got a bad. I got something going on with my back, so. [00:10:16] Speaker C: With a nerve. [00:10:17] Speaker A: I don't know. I feel like a. I would have you feel it, but it'd be too intimate. Intimate. I don't know if I have a tumor or I get some kind of nodule, but I don't know if that's related to the impingement. I got bad lower back pain. I told you. My wife's got this soft mattress. There's got to be something short of a topper that I can just put under my back while I sleep. Like a board. I thought about that. Like a wood board. Could I put something hard under my back? [00:10:46] Speaker B: Why don't you buy one of them beds where you can both have separate. [00:10:49] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, the Craftmatic beds from the 80s. Higher end ones. [00:10:55] Speaker B: Now you need one of them. [00:10:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:57] Speaker A: Can you have one side hard, the other side? [00:10:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:00] Speaker C: One side cold? [00:11:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:02] Speaker C: One side up, one side down. [00:11:03] Speaker A: Well, then can I interest you in a mattress? It's a queen size tempur pedic, very high. It was three. No, it's only. [00:11:12] Speaker C: We know too much about that mattress. [00:11:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:15] Speaker C: Are you joking me? [00:11:16] Speaker B: I'm not sleeping on your jizz towel. [00:11:19] Speaker C: Your pump mat. [00:11:20] Speaker B: Christ. [00:11:22] Speaker A: We gotta. We gotta cover underneath the sheets. It's all. [00:11:26] Speaker B: Get out of here. [00:11:27] Speaker A: I'm not gonna sell it to you with some kind of mensi or something. [00:11:30] Speaker C: Give that to somebody that doesn't listen to this podcast, that's for sure. [00:11:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:33] Speaker A: Because I make love on it, it doesn't mean all my fluids are like, I'm incontinent and I'm pissing the head. [00:11:39] Speaker B: You're Catholic, which means when you hit the vinegar strokes, you're whipping it out. [00:11:44] Speaker A: It's a good viz term. [00:11:46] Speaker B: Yeah, I am now, so it's everywhere. [00:11:50] Speaker A: But my wife's barren, so I don't know why I would need to whip it out. I only whip it out because I enjoy it and because I want to make my wife feel young. [00:12:03] Speaker C: Very good. You're considerate. [00:12:05] Speaker A: I don't want you to get pregnant. Makes her feel younger. We're going to talk a lot about that. Today on today's show, as we get into Zarnagargs, and I've. I don't want to bury the lead here, but in honor of Zarna Garg and her act, I've brought my own bedside copy of the Kama Sutra. The Kama Sutra with us for us to peruse. Yeah, that eighth position she mentions in the. [00:12:32] Speaker C: I'm interested. [00:12:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:33] Speaker C: I want to know what that one is. And I would also like to know about the amendment. [00:12:36] Speaker A: The eighth Amendment. [00:12:37] Speaker C: I don't know what the eighth Amendment is. Nobody does. [00:12:39] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a good bit. Get to Zarna. [00:12:43] Speaker C: Yeah, we'll get there. [00:12:45] Speaker A: Interesting choice by Christian. And then I'll be choosing today. I'm glad to be back up and. [00:12:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:52] Speaker A: All right. So what's on your agenda? You going to Home Depot today? You've got to get out of here real quick. What's waiting for you at Home Depot other than heather? [00:13:00] Speaker B: The Mrs. Flower Buying Day. That's a big one on her calendar. [00:13:06] Speaker A: So the planting is going on today. You're gonna do it today or you're just gonna get all the. [00:13:10] Speaker B: I ain't doing. She'll do it all. [00:13:13] Speaker A: Well, what do you got to be there for? Just a log. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. So she does all the planting. [00:13:18] Speaker B: Yep. [00:13:18] Speaker A: So is this front of the house or back of the house planting? [00:13:21] Speaker B: Pretty much all of it. Yeah. Flower boxes, deck, you name it. [00:13:29] Speaker C: She does a great job. [00:13:30] Speaker A: Yeah, it looks really good. You've been over to the home. [00:13:31] Speaker C: Oh, I have. [00:13:32] Speaker A: I've not. Yeah, I've not been invited. I mean, I've been there before, but I've not been invited in. [00:13:37] Speaker B: Quite another lie. [00:13:39] Speaker A: When have I been to the home in the past 10 years? Not been invited. [00:13:43] Speaker B: I can remember you and McGannon sitting watching a Boston Celtics match on my. [00:13:50] Speaker A: Yeah. In 1999, 2003, possibly. Yeah. Well, I'm not saying I've never been. Just not been out to the home to see these annuals or perennials or whatever you call it or anytime soon. Does Heather not like me? Let's just put that out there. I think that's might be the. She's friendly to me, but she doesn't care. [00:14:13] Speaker C: No immediate answer either. [00:14:15] Speaker A: Very telling. He is sucking on a whorehound. He is sucking on a horehound. [00:14:19] Speaker C: He's gonna blame the. [00:14:21] Speaker A: He's trying to come up with an answer. [00:14:23] Speaker B: So what was the. What was the social circle you were running with that brought you into the home? It was probably the old school comedy crew. Right? [00:14:35] Speaker A: It wouldn't be the new one. [00:14:36] Speaker B: When I first moved in there, we had some good parties. We had young people around. They were good parties. [00:14:44] Speaker A: I was young at the time. Yeah. [00:14:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:48] Speaker A: I've been to some parties there early on. [00:14:50] Speaker B: So what it is is nothing to do with, you know, you. That whole social scene just evaporated. And we haven't had a good party there in. Well, actually, I can't say that because then Christian might be insulted. [00:15:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:04] Speaker A: When Christian was there. [00:15:05] Speaker C: I've been there. [00:15:06] Speaker A: Say you didn't have a party, but not a good. There are parties going on that I'm not invited to. [00:15:12] Speaker C: They were staff parties, though, the early [00:15:15] Speaker B: parties ones, they went till 2, 3 in the morning. They rocked. But then it all turned to. Yeah. Tend to bollocks. [00:15:23] Speaker A: The early parties. The John Springsteen parties. [00:15:26] Speaker B: Springsteen. [00:15:27] Speaker A: Well, I don't know. Jason Fever Powski. [00:15:31] Speaker B: I remember Pavsky being there. [00:15:33] Speaker A: We used to go in the basement. [00:15:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:36] Speaker A: Yeah. I'd like to come back sometime. [00:15:39] Speaker B: I know for a fact you watched up one time I said, can you put the Celtics game on? It's some. [00:15:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:46] Speaker B: And you and McGannon sat watching it because I remember he was just really trying to wind you up. [00:15:51] Speaker A: He was. Yeah. [00:15:54] Speaker B: He kept saying, what the fuck is this guy doing? You go all het up about it. [00:16:03] Speaker A: What do you think of that answer? I think she does not like me. [00:16:06] Speaker C: It was a good diversion. [00:16:07] Speaker A: It was a good diversion. He's a master of diversion. [00:16:11] Speaker B: Do you want me to answer? Okay, I'll answer the question. Does Heather like Bill o' Donnell or not? Yes, Heather likes. [00:16:17] Speaker A: I thought that was going to be a no. [00:16:18] Speaker C: Me too. [00:16:19] Speaker A: Felt like that was a no coming. [00:16:21] Speaker B: But coming to the chase. Times change. [00:16:26] Speaker C: Oh, so figure that puzzle out there, William. [00:16:31] Speaker A: I'm going to go to a dark place right now. I don't know what that means, but [00:16:36] Speaker C: you look sad all of a sudden. [00:16:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, I feel sad from that answer. Well, I like Heather very much. I don't need her to let. I'm. If you say she likes me, I believe you. But I'll like her even if she doesn't like me. She's a sweetheart of a woman. [00:16:49] Speaker C: I don't think that's what that means. You read between. You can. You can figure. You can do the math. [00:16:55] Speaker A: The times I figured it out. I don't. [00:16:57] Speaker C: I can't figure it out. All right, well, what does that mean? Maybe by the time you listen to this podcast next week, what? [00:17:06] Speaker B: Times change, hairstyles change. [00:17:10] Speaker A: Means she liked. She did like me, but doesn't like Me anymore. [00:17:13] Speaker B: No. The definitive answer on Does Heather like Bill is yes. That's definitive. [00:17:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:22] Speaker B: Not conditional. [00:17:23] Speaker C: Do like you're already finger on your ass. [00:17:25] Speaker A: No. You're rubbing this nodule in my back. I had a cyst or something, but that can't. [00:17:31] Speaker C: I hurt a disc in my back. One time in college, we had this balcony with a bush underneath it, and we had a whiteboard of how many times he could jump off the balcony into the bush. And of course, eventually I missed. [00:17:42] Speaker A: What university is this university? [00:17:43] Speaker C: Buffalo. [00:17:44] Speaker A: Okay. [00:17:44] Speaker C: Yep. Eventually I missed the bush and hurt my back. And it was bothering me ever since. One time when I was on my feet a lot here in Chicago, I went to a chiropractor and they took an X ray of my back and I have my belly button pierced. And that came up as a bright silver speck in the middle of the X rays. They're pointing at the sciatic nerve they're talking about. And it blew my mind that they. At no point. You know, I'm sure they get people with belly button piercings in there all the time, but I'm sure they don't look like me. They never once asked me about the belly button piercing. [00:18:18] Speaker B: Do you know what the key word is? [00:18:19] Speaker A: They're chiropractor. [00:18:20] Speaker B: Chiropractor. Not a real doctor. [00:18:24] Speaker C: Yeah, well, still, wouldn't you be curious? [00:18:26] Speaker A: Our chiropractic audience or podiatrist? [00:18:30] Speaker B: You think there's one in the 20? [00:18:33] Speaker C: Maybe. I just thought they'd be curious. [00:18:36] Speaker A: My wife said stop saying the people aren't listening. You're trying to sabotage this. [00:18:42] Speaker B: Do you know how many listened last week? [00:18:44] Speaker A: No, I don't want to know. [00:18:46] Speaker B: It's gonna be a regular segment. [00:18:48] Speaker C: Oh, did you bring in the spreadsheet? [00:18:49] Speaker B: What did you just pull out of your ass? [00:18:51] Speaker A: No, it was some piece of orange on my pants had eaten an orange. [00:18:56] Speaker C: Mark, did you bring that spreadsheet today? [00:18:59] Speaker B: No. [00:19:01] Speaker C: Can we access it you. [00:19:02] Speaker B: It's shed to you. [00:19:03] Speaker C: Yeah, right. I can probably pull it up right here. [00:19:05] Speaker A: Can we do this off the air? Why do I always have to do this on the air? Brings me down. [00:19:10] Speaker C: Why don't you tell a story about your. Your piercings while I do this? [00:19:13] Speaker A: I don't have any piercings. [00:19:15] Speaker C: Boring. [00:19:15] Speaker B: You did, didn't you? [00:19:17] Speaker A: I. I tried it now. I had it for like a month or whatever and it. How old suit me in my 20s. [00:19:25] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Not even like 16. [00:19:28] Speaker A: No. My dad would have killed me. He's a real homophobe. Hearing meant you were gay. [00:19:35] Speaker C: What's it called, this document? [00:19:37] Speaker A: Duh. [00:19:39] Speaker B: What the One time. [00:19:42] Speaker A: Talk about it. [00:19:43] Speaker C: Oh, one time. [00:19:44] Speaker B: One. One time I went to my dad and I said, dad, I'm thinking about getting my nose pissed. What do you think about that? And he just looks at me, goes, why would you want to bring any more attention to your nose? And that's all he said on the matter. [00:20:02] Speaker A: And I bet you didn't get it after that either. [00:20:04] Speaker B: And then I went into work and I said to my boss, he was not a lot older than me, said, I was thinking again, my nose pierced. Can you. Are you gonna fire me so I can sue you? And he goes, no, I'm gonna laugh my ass off at you. I was like, there's no support for this nose pierce idea? [00:20:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Do you still have that belly button ring? [00:20:24] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. I got it, like, 10 years ago. My sisters were both in town, and we were out drinking at Kingston Mines, and the idea of getting a piercing came up, and I made the comment of a belly button piercing idea. One of my sisters turned around, she said, I'll tell you what, you get it done, I'll pay for it. An hour later, I was sitting in the chair really getting it pierced. And I still have it to this day. [00:20:45] Speaker B: Well, the hepatitis. [00:20:46] Speaker C: Yeah. That doesn't go away. [00:20:50] Speaker A: Well, when I get that ear piercing thing. And I took it out after a couple months, now I just have, like, a little hole there. [00:20:57] Speaker C: Yeah, I've got holes all over my ears, too, from when I had an eyebrow piercing when I was a teenager. [00:21:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:02] Speaker C: And a nipple ring at one point, too. [00:21:03] Speaker A: Now, did these holes. [00:21:04] Speaker C: It was also my sister's fault. [00:21:06] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:21:06] Speaker C: I know. [00:21:07] Speaker A: You're like. You're like Jame gum. Silence of the Lambs. Remember him? [00:21:12] Speaker C: The guy. [00:21:12] Speaker A: Right. [00:21:13] Speaker C: That one fell out when I was sleeping, though it wouldn't go back in. [00:21:16] Speaker A: Do you have all these holes? Did they have. They collect, like, schmegma? [00:21:20] Speaker C: No, they're so. That used to, like. Yeah, back. I mean, these are from when I was a teenager. I'm 42 now. And so maybe like, in my 20s, after I took them out for a little while they did, but. [00:21:30] Speaker A: Well, mine. Mine's still. [00:21:32] Speaker C: If I screw, really, to this day, [00:21:33] Speaker A: I'll get like, a little. What do you call it? Like, schmegma. [00:21:36] Speaker C: Huh? [00:21:37] Speaker A: Schmegma's not the right word. [00:21:39] Speaker C: I know what you're talking about, though. [00:21:40] Speaker A: Yeah. It's like a little. [00:21:41] Speaker C: Does it get infected? [00:21:43] Speaker A: No. [00:21:43] Speaker C: Okay. [00:21:44] Speaker A: No. Maybe I'll go back to it. [00:21:47] Speaker B: Never had tattoos Never had a piercing. [00:21:50] Speaker A: You wanted one, though. Let's get a tattoo for you. [00:21:53] Speaker C: Get your nose pierced. [00:21:54] Speaker B: I'm the only one in here who could be buried in a Jewish cemetery. How'd you like. How do you like those? [00:21:58] Speaker C: I don't think. I don't think I really stood a chance. [00:22:00] Speaker A: The fact that you're not Jewish, that would prevent you. So you really couldn't they not to [00:22:04] Speaker B: know with this nose? Come on. [00:22:08] Speaker A: Could be. You ever do the 23andMe figure out if you are Jewish? [00:22:12] Speaker B: Oh, God, I hate. I hate that 23andMe so much. It's just people looking for. Looking to be sophisticated. Who gives a toss? [00:22:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it really doesn't matter. [00:22:27] Speaker B: We all. We all. [00:22:28] Speaker A: It'll be interesting to know, I guess, a little bit about what's in your genes. Who's in your genes? [00:22:34] Speaker B: I mean, I see a medical reason, but that doesn't tell you. [00:22:38] Speaker C: The medic. [00:22:39] Speaker A: See if you have like. Like genetic counseling. Like if you had some kind of disease or something. Yeah, or possibility of carrying a gene. [00:22:46] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. [00:22:49] Speaker C: That wasn't even a sound effect. No. But yeah. Oh, we've done this bit before, though. Humans beating out AI, you know? [00:22:58] Speaker A: Yeah, we have. [00:22:59] Speaker B: Are you done with your stretches? [00:23:01] Speaker A: Well, I took a horse pill. It's finally kicking in. [00:23:04] Speaker C: It's a horse pill. [00:23:05] Speaker A: I found it in the. In the medicine cabinets. My wife, I don't know what she had done. She must have like a. Some kind of woman procedure that gave her 800 milligrams of hydrocodone. [00:23:17] Speaker C: Oh, my God. [00:23:17] Speaker A: I'm starting to feel woozy. [00:23:19] Speaker C: You ever seen a hairspray? [00:23:21] Speaker A: Probably shouldn't driven over here on it. [00:23:22] Speaker C: 2008 version of Hairspray. [00:23:24] Speaker A: John Waters. Hairspray. [00:23:25] Speaker C: John. Is it John Waters? [00:23:27] Speaker A: He did the original. [00:23:28] Speaker C: Did he do the 1988? No. Yeah, 1988. [00:23:32] Speaker B: John Travolt or Rick. [00:23:33] Speaker C: Yeah, Ricky. Well, Ricky likes him. Ricky Lake's in both of them. [00:23:38] Speaker B: John Travolta is Ricky like's mom? [00:23:41] Speaker C: No. Okay. John Travolta. It's not Ricky Lake that. Ricky Lake plays that character in the 80s version. In the 2008 version. I can't remember her name, but she was only this. This was her only movie. [00:23:53] Speaker B: Like, Debbie Harry was also in it. [00:23:55] Speaker C: Yeah, but Ricky, like, is in the 2008 version. But she's one of the talent agents that shows up at the end. Just sort of like a no speaking cameo. But John Travolta plays the mom. Yes. And I just watched this last night. I didn't know that and. Yeah. And at one point he said, well, as the character, she says, hurry up. My dog pills wearing off. So you're taking horse pills? John Travolta's characters taking dog pills. [00:24:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:21] Speaker C: I wonder what I'm missing out on. Take a bird pill. [00:24:24] Speaker B: I got these. [00:24:25] Speaker A: What do you got? Oh, you got. It was good. Good timing. [00:24:31] Speaker B: Naproxen. [00:24:32] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, these are good. [00:24:33] Speaker C: What is that? [00:24:34] Speaker A: What is this for your knee? [00:24:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:35] Speaker A: What do they say about the knee? You got it all. You got a one stop shop when you popped in there? [00:24:39] Speaker B: No, they. They said, let's start with a bit of physio, see if we can just cure this naturally. And I'm physical therapy bored for that. [00:24:47] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Did you take. Do you have any appointments yet? [00:24:49] Speaker B: Not yet. She said it'll take a month to get in. So she gave me a sheet of different exercises. I'm pretty sure if I could once crack. Bicycling regularly. [00:24:58] Speaker C: Yes. [00:24:59] Speaker B: A couple of miles a day. [00:25:00] Speaker C: Right. [00:25:00] Speaker B: I'd be off to the office. Yeah. [00:25:04] Speaker C: My buddy Alberto is just asking me if I know anybody that wants a bicycle. [00:25:08] Speaker B: Oh, I've got four in the basement, three at home. [00:25:11] Speaker C: Right. I don't know if you want to use one of the four in the basement here. Right out of the gate, they'll do you. [00:25:16] Speaker A: What kind of bicycle has he got fixing up? [00:25:18] Speaker C: It's a. I think it's a sleazy rider sort of bicycle. High handlebars, big seat, you know, nice and slow, big fat tires. [00:25:27] Speaker B: Oh, no. If I was gonna convert, it'd be to one of those skinny French racer bicycles. [00:25:33] Speaker C: Like a rally. [00:25:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, rally's from Nottingham. [00:25:37] Speaker C: Right. [00:25:37] Speaker B: But I was interviewed for rally. [00:25:40] Speaker A: Rally bicycles. I don't know Rally bicycle. Is that British? [00:25:45] Speaker C: They're from Nottingham, quick. [00:25:48] Speaker A: British bicycle companies. Raleigh, Go Pook. [00:25:53] Speaker B: They're German. You've named the. You've named the only British bicycle Rally? [00:25:59] Speaker C: Yeah, I used to have one of those. Rally. [00:26:02] Speaker A: Sir Walter. Named after Sir Walter Rally. Oh, yeah. [00:26:04] Speaker C: Is that it where they get the name? [00:26:05] Speaker B: I don't know. Blanket out with something else we can't stop. Oh, that's just. That's my. [00:26:16] Speaker C: That sounded like me. I heard your garp earlier. [00:26:20] Speaker A: I don't have that garp anymore. I'm all better. Remember last week I was. Yeah, you were. [00:26:23] Speaker C: You're girping it up. [00:26:24] Speaker A: Yeah. That you got a lot of ailments. You know, get north of 50, you get a lot of ailments. [00:26:30] Speaker C: Oh, I've heard. [00:26:31] Speaker A: Yeah. Come at you fast and furious. All right. What else you guys got? Anything else going on or you want to get into Zarna gang? [00:26:36] Speaker C: No, it was just. I just took a little trip to Buffalo, New York. Oh, talk about that. [00:26:41] Speaker A: You're always on the move. [00:26:42] Speaker C: You're always on the move. [00:26:43] Speaker A: Where are you going this weekend? [00:26:44] Speaker C: Nowhere. I'm staying put for a while now. That was the last one for a bit. [00:26:47] Speaker A: So you had this trip planned to go home or you just went home because the Sabres big game? [00:26:53] Speaker C: No, there was a passing in. Oh, there was a passing. So I had to go back and do a little memorializing. But at the same time, I did time it around. I've got two younger sisters. One lives in Buffalo, one lives in la, and the LA one was going to be in Buffalo for a wedding. So I timed it around that so we could all hang out. And then it just so happened. I. I planned this trip well before the Sabres even made the playoffs. Just so happened that they were going to be playing while I was in Buffalo. Now they played one game on Saturday in Montreal and I said if they win this game, I was supposed to go back like that night or the next night or something. I said, if they win this game, I'm sticking around for game seven. And in classic Buffalo style, they won the game, kept me there for game seven. I changed my trip back, paid the extra money, went to watch the game with the rest of the Buffalo people. To watch them go in game seven to overtime and lose. Yes. That's the most Buffalo story I can tell. How hard the tail is over time. Did not. It didn't hurt at all. It's something that by this, at this point, I'm so used to. It's almost like when it happens, you go, yep, time to go. [00:28:02] Speaker A: You know, Cleveland fan. [00:28:04] Speaker C: Yep. It's just so, you know, if they had won, I don't think I would have known how to handle it. It would have been too surprised. [00:28:11] Speaker A: That would have been for to go to the finals. [00:28:12] Speaker C: That would have been to go to the Eastern Conference finals. [00:28:14] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:28:15] Speaker C: They would have played the Carolina Hurricane. [00:28:16] Speaker B: Who gets reamed by Carolina? [00:28:18] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly. And that's the other thing, too. Buffalo and Carolina played in the Eastern Conference finals 20 years ago to the year. And Carolina's current coach was on that team on the Buffalo team or the Carolina. On the Carolina team. And Buffalo's current coach was Buffalo's coach back then. So it would be rough. Yeah, it would have been this whole big crazy rematch, which I didn't. I didn't really want to see how that's going to go, you know, probably [00:28:43] Speaker A: wouldn't have went well. [00:28:44] Speaker C: Carolina's looking pretty good. [00:28:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:46] Speaker C: I almost prefer they lost before they got to Carolina to be like, you know what? That's for next year. [00:28:51] Speaker A: Did you. I was going to say, did you go to the stadium for the game seven or six, thinking it was a home game and watch it with a bunch of people? [00:28:59] Speaker C: No. I think I even made that joke online last week's podcast already, though, saying I'm not this time. I'm not going to actually go to the stadium, though. I'm not going to buy tickets to game six. But no, I did not do that. I watched it at my sister's house. I was going to go to the Canal side party, but instead opted to go to my friend Josh Mullins Bar Jackrabbits for a dollar. Wings. Oh, yeah. [00:29:21] Speaker A: Okay. [00:29:22] Speaker C: That's pretty decent. [00:29:23] Speaker A: Did you know, Mark, not being from America, that wings are from Buffalo? [00:29:29] Speaker B: Yes. [00:29:31] Speaker C: Anchor Bar. [00:29:31] Speaker B: No. Is it the wings or the sauce? [00:29:34] Speaker C: The. The whole idea. Chicken wings and the sauce. [00:29:36] Speaker A: Really? [00:29:37] Speaker B: They. [00:29:37] Speaker A: They get credit for the chicken wing itself? [00:29:39] Speaker C: Yeah, they're. They're first made at the Anchor Bar for some late night drinkers. There was just chicken scraps left around. [00:29:47] Speaker A: So those wings were previously discarded? [00:29:49] Speaker B: Yeah. What were they doing with them? [00:29:50] Speaker C: They were just tossing them as far as I can. [00:29:52] Speaker A: I wouldn't think so. You'd look at that and you'd be like, I'll eat that, right? [00:29:55] Speaker C: Yeah, but they weren't. Nobody. [00:29:57] Speaker A: They weren't served. [00:29:58] Speaker C: They weren't served. Yeah. I'm sure somebody may ate them at home or something, but yeah, they put them in the fryer and then they combined liquid butter with. Now here or anywhere else outside of Buffalo, you get Buffalo sauce. If you're in Buffalo, there's no such thing as Buffalo sauce. It's hot, medium, mild, or barbecue. And the hot medium mild is the ratio of liquid butter to Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Mm. It's like mild is 75. [00:30:20] Speaker A: So what are you saying? There's not all these different flavors and there. [00:30:23] Speaker C: No, no, it's too many. That's like Buffalo Wild Wings, you know, which is not a Buffalo establishment. They just like teriyak, honey. [00:30:30] Speaker A: Right, Whatever. [00:30:30] Speaker C: Nobody does that. [00:30:32] Speaker A: You do, like all the different. [00:30:34] Speaker C: There's anything against them. Just saying there's. That's. That's not how they do it in Buffalo. If you go to Buffalo and you walk into a bar and you say, give me Buffalo wings, they're gonna look at you like, well, yeah, no. What kind? Like hot, medium, mild? What do you want? [00:30:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that's how it should be. [00:30:47] Speaker B: I had a phase of going to Wingstop. [00:30:50] Speaker C: You did. [00:30:50] Speaker A: You were in a Wingstop phase? [00:30:51] Speaker B: Yeah, but that ended. There's too many fries. Jesus Christ. Just. [00:30:59] Speaker A: I like their fries. They got a dust on them that. I don't know what it is, but I like it. Okay, well. All right. Well, I'm sorry that they lost. I'm sorry for your loss. [00:31:10] Speaker C: It really is. You know what? [00:31:11] Speaker A: They still owe you money. [00:31:12] Speaker C: They were supposed to be garbage this season. They made it all the way to game seven of the second round. They've got experience. Experience now going into next season. They're hungry. They're gonna come. They're gonna come shot out of a cannon. I'm. I'm just. I'm happy for them for what they did with what they had. Yeah. [00:31:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:25] Speaker C: Yeah. I'm still proud of those guys. Doesn't matter if they lost. [00:31:28] Speaker B: You don't think they're gonna get cocky? [00:31:30] Speaker C: I don't think they. [00:31:32] Speaker A: I don't. [00:31:32] Speaker C: I don't think if they're losing game seven that there's room to get cocky. They don't seem like the bunch to get cocky either. [00:31:39] Speaker B: Sometimes you see a team excel and they start to. Oh, yeah. [00:31:44] Speaker A: It doesn't always work like you just described it as. [00:31:46] Speaker B: Well. [00:31:46] Speaker C: Yeah, I think they need. They would have to win more in order to start to get the cocky level. I don't think they have the right yet to be cocky, especially. Especially since they're gonna have a fall. Some of their star players did not produce at all this last round. They've got nothing to be cocky about. [00:32:00] Speaker B: Yeah. The Bears of late have been doing the. [00:32:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:06] Speaker B: Like no one believes in us. We'll do really well. Then they'll be shy the next year because they believed. [00:32:12] Speaker C: Right. Their big wide receiver is going to Buffalo or just already is going to Buffalo. It was DJ Moore. [00:32:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:19] Speaker A: They're happy about that. [00:32:20] Speaker C: Yeah. Josh Allen will have somebody to throw to. [00:32:24] Speaker A: Well, this is sports. [00:32:26] Speaker C: This is sports talk. This is a sports talk. [00:32:28] Speaker B: British sports talk exhausted my American football vocabulary. [00:32:32] Speaker A: Hey, World Cup's coming up, isn't it? I keep seeing some stuff on the ads. [00:32:37] Speaker C: Yeah. British soccer, World cup coming up pretty soon. [00:32:40] Speaker A: Does England never have a good soccer team? [00:32:43] Speaker B: They're in right now. Everyone's been waiting for them to finally win something, and they've failed at the final and semifinal every time. This is. This is one of them ones where you're like, okay, you. This is It. This is your chance to win. [00:32:59] Speaker C: If they does it, they've got a [00:33:02] Speaker A: good enough team to win this year. [00:33:03] Speaker C: Can they drop down to the, like, the lower level if they lose? Is that how it works? [00:33:07] Speaker B: No, no. FIFA rankings and all that. England's in the top three. I think Spain's the favorite. Oh, then France, then England. [00:33:18] Speaker A: Where's America on that list? [00:33:20] Speaker B: Because nowhere to be seen. [00:33:21] Speaker A: No, they're bad. I don't know why America's not better. [00:33:24] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:33:25] Speaker C: The women's team is good, aren't they? [00:33:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:26] Speaker B: We've been through this. [00:33:28] Speaker C: Have we? [00:33:28] Speaker A: I haven't. [00:33:29] Speaker B: All right, so kids that are good at. [00:33:32] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, we did go through school. Yeah. Yeah, right. [00:33:34] Speaker B: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So the kids that are good at sport in America don't go, oh, let me pick the least paid of the sports. [00:33:42] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:33:45] Speaker C: Yep. [00:33:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:47] Speaker B: Isn't there some sort of sport sound effect I. Cheering crowd what else you got over there? [00:33:53] Speaker C: Well, I do have a. What else do I have? [00:33:56] Speaker A: You got a liquid diarrhea. [00:33:59] Speaker C: I'm sure there is somewhere. [00:34:04] Speaker A: Is this off the board or the computer? [00:34:05] Speaker C: This is off my phone. [00:34:06] Speaker A: Oh, nice. Really? He's stepping it up. [00:34:09] Speaker B: What's the computer there for then? [00:34:10] Speaker C: I want to look up stuff about Zarna Garg. [00:34:13] Speaker B: All right. [00:34:14] Speaker C: So that we have information about her when it comes time. [00:34:16] Speaker A: Well, it's about time. [00:34:19] Speaker C: Yeah. We're already 35 minutes in. [00:34:21] Speaker A: Yeah, we're. [00:34:22] Speaker C: We're flying through this.

I got up to my medical report saying, fat bastard, stop eating so much. Then I went, found a nail in my tire and got my bell rung to the tune of 400 bucks. Wait, new tires. [00:35:00] Speaker A: They never replaced two. You got to replace all four for. [00:35:04] Speaker B: No, you can do two. [00:35:04] Speaker C: You can do two. [00:35:05] Speaker A: Oh, they me on that. [00:35:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:35:09] Speaker A: So you gotta have all four. They've got to be the same or everything's out of line. Well, you. Thank you. You drive an Econo Box, so maybe it doesn't affect us the same. I drive A high end Swedish automobile. [00:35:24] Speaker B: So I drive a Hyundai Elantra. [00:35:27] Speaker A: Hyundai Elantra? Yeah. Also known as Nic. [00:35:31] Speaker B: If you're listening out there, if any grease monkey tells you you have to replace all four tires, they are lying and you are a mug. [00:35:41] Speaker A: Yeah, been taking that for that ride many times. [00:35:45] Speaker B: You should do. You can do two. [00:35:48] Speaker A: Why couldn't you just have gotten the juice put in it? So you didn't need a new tire for the nail? [00:35:53] Speaker B: He told me it was too close to the sidewall. To the sidewall. Which. Yeah. [00:35:57] Speaker A: If any. Any of you listening out there, if a tire guy tells you it's too close to the sidewall, you're being taken for a ride. [00:36:06] Speaker C: Did he show you the tire at least? [00:36:09] Speaker B: I took the bastard off. When I got home last night, I noticed it was down, you know, tire pressure. So I looked at the tire and I could see it. Bastard. There's the nail. So this morning what I was gonna do was bike it over. So I took it off the car and I was just gonna bike over to the place, say, hey, this blah blah, realized I couldn't carry it, so I put the donut on the car and drove it over there. [00:36:32] Speaker C: Yeah. And when you saw the tire, do you agree it was too close to the sidewall? How far into the tread was it? I used to work in a tire base, so I'm curious. [00:36:39] Speaker B: I don't know. How close is too close. [00:36:43] Speaker A: Did you go to the boys over on Ashland? Ashland tire. They're the best. [00:36:46] Speaker C: Yeah, Ashley's a good one. I like that place. [00:36:47] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I went to the one around the corner from you. [00:36:51] Speaker C: Cassidy. [00:36:51] Speaker B: Lucas. [00:36:52] Speaker A: Oh, Lucas. I don't go to them. [00:36:54] Speaker B: It was. It was that. It was pretty close. I don't know. [00:36:58] Speaker C: That sounds like he could have gotten it repaired. [00:37:00] Speaker A: Yeah, it does. Sounds like you got taken for a ride. [00:37:03] Speaker B: I feel like I was 400. [00:37:05] Speaker A: Could have been. If you get your tires from Ashland, they'll take care of that. No, no charge at all. They'll juice it up and seal it just for next time, you know, I don't want you get taken for any more rides. I know you're always concerned about, you know, Ruseneck taking me for a ride, which I'll be remiss if I don't bring this up. My wife wants me to make sure that this is the case. Rusnick did not take us for a ride. Rusnick charges 150 for the hour. So if he comes for three minutes, it's 150. He's coming out from Schaumburg Rusnak. He came yesterday to move a bunch of light fixtures around. [00:37:40] Speaker B: Oh, brace yourself. Get. Get a. Get a really good effect light yesterday. [00:37:45] Speaker A: Move two light fixtures around to check our outside lighting, which was spotty. [00:37:52] Speaker C: He. [00:37:52] Speaker A: He took out a bathroom fan. And my wife wants me to say on air how much he charged, how much he was there for, did all those jobs. 185. Because he did it all within the hour. [00:38:11] Speaker C: Right? [00:38:12] Speaker A: I was the idiot. I didn't, you know, I should have saved all these jobs for when he came. Why are you looking at me all glib like Matt Lauer over here, waiting to stick one in me? Oh, that sounded wrong. Now on other things, I did ask Rusnak to look at the oven. He will not do that. He says you need an appliance guy to do that and blah, blah, blah. Will you take this oven job? The two of you? One of you, the two Utes. No, you won't take the. [00:38:40] Speaker C: I don't want the appliance job. [00:38:41] Speaker A: I got the part. I already ordered it sitting there. It shows me how to do it on YouTube. Take the thing off the bottom. Just unhook it. It's a little electrical thing there. It's got to be put in there. [00:38:52] Speaker B: Have you already obtained permission from your Mrs. [00:38:55] Speaker A: Yes, I did tell her. [00:38:57] Speaker B: You crossing your fingers. [00:38:58] Speaker A: I did. [00:39:00] Speaker B: I would maybe help you in a supervisory role. I want. I want the bottom line to lie with you. [00:39:07] Speaker A: Okay, but by saying that, what you mean is like you'll do it all and I'll. I'll take the responsibility side. You don't even know how to take the. Pull the oven out. [00:39:16] Speaker B: I will come and help you. I will teach you to fish. [00:39:19] Speaker A: All right, let's do it. I think we can do it. I think we can do it. And I will take you for high end lunch. [00:39:25] Speaker B: Do you have an explosion of the [00:39:27] Speaker A: house blowing up like Marriage of Maria Brown? [00:39:30] Speaker C: Every time you search for something on this, it takes you to an advertisement. So no is the answer for right now. Now I gotta wait through this. [00:39:36] Speaker A: If we can get it done, it works. I'll take you to the high end launch of your choice. All right? [00:39:42] Speaker B: Wendy's? [00:39:43] Speaker A: Sure, if that's what you want. Or we can go some more higher end. [00:39:47] Speaker B: All right. [00:39:48] Speaker A: Pick Me Up Cafe. I know you like it over there. [00:39:50] Speaker B: Pick Me Up Cafe. [00:39:52] Speaker A: It's out of business. [00:39:53] Speaker B: There you go. [00:39:53] Speaker A: There it is. [00:39:55] Speaker C: It just took a little while because the gas had to build. [00:39:58] Speaker A: All right, let's get that done. [00:40:00] Speaker B: All right, let's get it done by [00:40:02] Speaker A: next week's show and we'll report back. And lastly, I'm going out of town Saturday, one night only, to see Mike D of the Beastie Boys perform in Brooklyn, New York. [00:40:12] Speaker C: Oh, nice. Did we talk about this? Yes, we did. But I don't think you're going yet. [00:40:15] Speaker A: I'm going with my mate from growing [00:40:18] Speaker B: up when the other one. Is that why you trial in the three stripe? Just to see if it's still got [00:40:23] Speaker A: Maybe that might be why I didn't think of that. But that's probably like is subconsciously I've got the Beastie Boys look going, getting ready. I'll be fucking Brooklyn listening to Mike D. Is this Mike D's the Meme soundboard app? It's full of weird and advertisements Now I can't friends. [00:40:45] Speaker C: So get ready for. Oh, yeah, let me see if I can do that. I thought to pay for that if we do that. Is it under 30 seconds is the rule. [00:40:52] Speaker B: Who's who died? Ad Rock? [00:40:54] Speaker A: No, mca. [00:40:55] Speaker B: I thought when MCA died they both swore they would never ever sing a Beastie Boy song ever again. [00:41:03] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know what he's gonna sing [00:41:04] Speaker C: this is perfect for. You. Have to wait till they say it at least. That's it. That's all we can afford. That's all we can. [00:41:19] Speaker B: Remember that country and western album they made? [00:41:21] Speaker C: No, I wasn't aware I had a [00:41:23] Speaker B: vinyl copy of it. I don't know that vinyl copy of the Beastie Boys country and western album and I sold it for $5. [00:41:33] Speaker A: Probably a couple grand now. You don't see that anywhere. [00:41:36] Speaker C: Yeah, right. [00:41:36] Speaker B: Yep. What an [00:41:40] Speaker A: all right. So I'm very excited about that. All right. [00:41:42] Speaker B: Way seeing them. [00:41:44] Speaker A: Brooklyn. [00:41:45] Speaker C: That's why I play. Yeah, yeah. [00:41:47] Speaker A: Xanadu Roller Rink. He's performing in a roller rink of some kind. [00:41:51] Speaker B: All right. [00:41:52] Speaker C: What song is that? [00:41:53] Speaker B: Balls out of the bath there. How much was this ticket? Are you not at liberty to say? [00:41:58] Speaker A: No, I can say it wasn't much at all. So somebody tipped me off that he was. He's only doing a couple shows that you know. A couple in Brooklyn. And I jumped online right I think right when they went on sale. And I get paid like 48 bucks each. [00:42:12] Speaker C: What? [00:42:13] Speaker B: No way. [00:42:13] Speaker A: I'm not kidding. [00:42:14] Speaker C: No way. Damn, that's great. Yeah. Right. [00:42:20] Speaker A: I'm gonna go do some birding in Central Park. Be there and back in a day. But yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. You know, I don't get out. Do you do bird I do. [00:42:33] Speaker C: Have you ever been to the Humboldt Park Saturday morning one? [00:42:36] Speaker A: No, not there. [00:42:37] Speaker C: There's. Yeah, I'll tell you. Yeah. I can't remember where I read about if it was in the pub or what, but. Yeah, there's. There's like. This is a whole thing. People show up from everywhere. [00:42:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:46] Speaker C: No, it wasn't. I remember. Yeah. [00:42:49] Speaker A: I go to it sounds like. Usually. [00:42:51] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, that's a good spot for it. [00:42:55] Speaker A: But Central park during spring migration is one of the best spots in the world. [00:43:00] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:43:01] Speaker A: Yeah. You see so many varieties. New York's got everything Warbler in there. They do, yeah. Yeah. What are you doing on the phone over here? [00:43:10] Speaker B: I'm not sure I can carry on with this broadcast. Why? [00:43:13] Speaker A: You're getting pulled. [00:43:13] Speaker C: Home Depot hates birds. What happened? [00:43:18] Speaker B: This album is now highly sought after. It was released only to family and friends. [00:43:24] Speaker A: How did you get it? [00:43:27] Speaker B: And now. Now change his hands for hundreds of dollars a copy. [00:43:32] Speaker C: Okay, so that's like one tire. [00:43:36] Speaker B: According to this, it was never officially sold to the public. [00:43:39] Speaker A: That's why when you mentioned it. [00:43:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:43:41] Speaker A: Most their albums, I. I bought it from a record. [00:43:46] Speaker B: You remember when they used to be the record stores, There was three in a. You know where Wiener Circle is? Yeah, you know where Wiener Circle is. And that little dog leg in the thing. There used to be three. Three record stores in a very short succession where that dog leg was. And I bought it from one of them. [00:44:07] Speaker A: Dusty Groove, I think might have been that one. [00:44:10] Speaker C: Dusty Groove. That's a good name for a store. That's a good name for anything. [00:44:13] Speaker A: It's a good. Him calling that a dog leg is a nice term. Yeah, that little zag there on. [00:44:18] Speaker C: I like that. It's like panhandle. Really. Paint a description. [00:44:21] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Well, don't let that bring you down. We'll get you another copy. [00:44:26] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. [00:44:26] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll find you another copy. [00:44:27] Speaker B: Yeah, not. Not for less than a few hundred dollars. You want. [00:44:32] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a. That's a black. [00:44:34] Speaker B: I think I sold that. Literally five bucks. [00:44:37] Speaker A: What else you got? You got any records at the place? [00:44:39] Speaker B: I got hundreds of records still because the bloody thingy stopped. The record fair stopped at the Plumbers Union Hall. [00:44:46] Speaker A: I don't even know what that is. Because vinyl became so hot, they just snapped it all up. [00:44:51] Speaker B: No, I think they stopped it because it was such a pain in the ass to do the event. But I used to sell shitty stuff, so I didn't really make a lot. The nerds were buying, like high end you know, like, did you ever have [00:45:05] Speaker A: a table in a flea market? I know you go there and buy, but were you ever a seller? [00:45:09] Speaker B: Heather was. Heather was thinking about it one time until the time where I told her, yeah, you'll have to get up at 4am to load the car for us to be there at 5am to set up. And she called her jets rapidly at that point. [00:45:25] Speaker A: I had to get up at 4:00am this morning. [00:45:28] Speaker C: Yeah, I noticed you sent a text at 4:48am yeah. [00:45:31] Speaker A: Well, my kid is going to Washington [00:45:33] Speaker B: D.C. he fell down the stairs this time. [00:45:35] Speaker C: No. [00:45:35] Speaker A: Who? A kid? No. The eighth grade trip to Washington D.C. they have to be at the school at 4am to get the bus to the airport, and then they go all day in D.C. today, all day tomorrow, and come back on Friday. But I had never been out there at 4am with other parents. You're never really. [00:45:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:45:53] Speaker A: It was an odd, odd scene. [00:45:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:45:57] Speaker A: And on the way back, I realized I hadn't brushed my teeth. [00:46:00] Speaker C: Oh, no. [00:46:01] Speaker A: You know, and I've been talking to many parents. [00:46:03] Speaker C: Yeah. It's a bad feeling. [00:46:04] Speaker A: You ever notice my breath in here, Ever bad breath, let me know, all right? I do. I won't be. [00:46:10] Speaker C: We're always drinking limey water, though. Yeah. That's supposed to be good for your scurvy water. [00:46:16] Speaker A: Yeah. Gives you a tartness. [00:46:18] Speaker C: That's our sponsor this week. [00:46:20] Speaker A: Scurvy water. Yeah. Because we've lost Begain. [00:46:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:46:22] Speaker A: In fact, he's. [00:46:23] Speaker B: He. [00:46:23] Speaker A: He listened last week and his wife went off. I won't even read you. The text. Was so fired up. Mad about Steph Tolev and how we didn't like Steph Tolev and how, you know, we said she was disgusting and she was adamant that a woman like Steph Tolev should have the right to do that kind of comedy. [00:46:49] Speaker C: Right. [00:46:49] Speaker A: There's a place for her to do that kind of sexual comedy, despite her untraditional good looks, if you want to say that. [00:46:56] Speaker C: Well, yeah. I mean, that's not untrue. [00:46:58] Speaker A: And she felt like we were coming down on her. [00:47:00] Speaker C: She's doing it. We also have the right to not like it. [00:47:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. But really went off. Went off about it. And they. Not only is he pulling his. He's already pulled his sponsorship. They claim they're. They're not going to listen anymore. They don't like our review. That. Right. And he said we're too liberal and, you know, we hate everything. [00:47:22] Speaker B: Does that mean I could stop talking about backsplashes? [00:47:25] Speaker A: Yeah, It's a no More free. Free advertising for that. [00:47:30] Speaker B: Just screaming it into the void. [00:47:31] Speaker C: At this point, I'm gonna start talking more about backsplashes. [00:47:35] Speaker A: I'll go ahead. Yeah, nobody's listening. [00:47:40] Speaker C: Gonna increase my backsplash tail. [00:47:43] Speaker A: Well, let's hope today's review goes a little better than the Steph Tola. Today we're gonna be talking about the legendary great. Everybody knows Zarna Garg, right? [00:47:57] Speaker B: That's the best name of any comedian. [00:47:59] Speaker A: I've been saying it all morning. [00:48:01] Speaker B: Best name by a country mile of any comedians. [00:48:04] Speaker A: Zarna Garg. [00:48:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:06] Speaker A: What did I text you last night? [00:48:08] Speaker C: Like what? [00:48:08] Speaker A: Who we watching? Zulu. What was it? [00:48:12] Speaker C: I don't think you said anything. I think you just asked for the name, didn't you? [00:48:15] Speaker A: I said [00:48:17] Speaker B: zelda. [00:48:19] Speaker A: Who we got tomorrow? Zhang Trung. Where do I watch? That's all I could remember. [00:48:24] Speaker C: Zhang Trunk. [00:48:25] Speaker A: Zhang Trunk. Zarna. I'm surprised I remember that. Zarnagar. What was the. What was the problem? Why were you trying to switch at the last minute? You didn't like this special? She had a better special. [00:48:35] Speaker C: No, it was because I thought there was difficulty finding it because both were [00:48:39] Speaker A: on the same platform. So what difference did it make? [00:48:42] Speaker C: Oh, well, one of. Okay, I didn't know that. I didn't. I didn't have Disney. Right. Well, one of them is available on other platforms and not just Hulu. So if you were having trouble with it and Mark hadn't watched it yet, I was offering a. An alternate route. [00:48:55] Speaker A: Anything within 24 hours, you're like, oh, [00:48:58] Speaker C: I was already certain. I knew I was going to wake up to it. Texas said, no, I've already watched it. [00:49:02] Speaker A: Why do you do that? Because I know you're reading them. Right. Like you when you see me getting all worked up, like about something you're reading, but you're just not responding. Is that done deliberate or is it [00:49:10] Speaker B: just I only respond where needed? [00:49:13] Speaker A: Absent mindedness. [00:49:15] Speaker B: No, I only respond when needed. [00:49:17] Speaker A: How about last week when I was like, are we. What is the deal? But. And you didn't respond. That was needed. When I was begging for a reply. [00:49:23] Speaker B: I think he said, I think we established you sent that after I went to bed, which is 9 o'. Clock. [00:49:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:28] Speaker C: Which is interesting because 9:15 in bed read for 45 minutes. Yeah, right. [00:49:34] Speaker A: You don't look at the phone again. [00:49:35] Speaker C: And then that night we got a screenshot at 9:50. Oh, so what do you. And it was about. Yes, it was a screenshot of me. Social media. So are you reading books in bed? Are you reading Stuff on your phone because it sounds like he's reading X Video. Make it sound like you're reading a novel. [00:49:52] Speaker B: I am reading a novel. I sent a text at 9:50 at night. [00:49:56] Speaker C: It was. [00:49:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:58] Speaker C: A screenshot of something that you wanted to say. You stupid Americans. Yeah, Here it is. And it says nighty night. Okay. It was. It was nine. It was 9:23. [00:50:10] Speaker A: Okay. [00:50:10] Speaker C: It's still past 9:15. [00:50:11] Speaker B: That's right on the. That's probably the last thing I did. [00:50:16] Speaker C: Probably. [00:50:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:18] Speaker C: All right, well, you see holes in these stories. [00:50:21] Speaker A: Yeah, let's not get into that. Let's get into Zarnagarg. Political. No, practical People win. That's the name of the special from 20. When 20 I didn't get the year. [00:50:33] Speaker C: It was, Wasn't it this year? I don't have the written 2025, maybe. [00:50:37] Speaker A: 2025. Zarnagargu. Well, let's start, as we always do, with. Had you ever heard of Zarna Garg prior to this viewing? [00:50:47] Speaker B: Nope. [00:50:48] Speaker A: You had never heard of her? [00:50:49] Speaker C: No. [00:50:51] Speaker A: Do you get many Indian comedians or Pacific Islanders in here? [00:50:56] Speaker B: Tons. [00:50:57] Speaker A: You do. Okay. Zarna Garg has been working in the field of stand up comedy for how long, Christian, would you say? [00:51:06] Speaker C: Oh, shoot. I would say since I have it right in front of me here. 2018. [00:51:13] Speaker A: She's only been at it since 2018. She's skyrocketed to having a special and just eight short years. [00:51:19] Speaker C: Right. [00:51:20] Speaker B: I mean, she started at age 43. 44. [00:51:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:24] Speaker A: Really? She never did any act before that? No. [00:51:30] Speaker C: Yeah. Her first career credit is a open mic in the basement of a Mexican restaurant in New York City in 2018. First official stand up gig was in February 2019 at Caroline's on Broadway. [00:51:44] Speaker A: A year later, she's in Caroline's. Yeah. Comedy club. I don't think that's there anymore. Maybe I'll hit a comedy club after the Mike D show. [00:51:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:52] Speaker A: Go down to the cellar, see who's around. Can I drop your name? Will that get me in? Oh, yeah, they don't. They know me from the Lincoln Lodge. Geary sent me to scout for the shows. No. [00:52:08] Speaker C: Well. [00:52:09] Speaker A: Wow. You don't really. You rarely hear of a person moving up the ranks as quickly as someone like Czarnagarg has done here. What do you think it is that has quickly moved her up the comedy ladder? What is it about her act that. That has made her so popular? [00:52:28] Speaker C: Do you think it's the timing? [00:52:30] Speaker A: The timing? [00:52:30] Speaker C: Yeah, the timing of like her sort of material and. And her background coinciding with People looking for something other than just straight white males really fits, you know? Do you think it's the timing of that? Yeah. And not to downgrade her material and that's not. [00:52:47] Speaker A: No, we'll get to that in a minute. [00:52:48] Speaker C: I'm just saying it could be the timing of, like. Right. [00:52:50] Speaker A: We'll get to downgrading the material here in just a second. A second, I'm sure. Right. All right. Well, before we get too deep into that, I think I agree with you. I think Stand up has become, and maybe I'm misusing this term, a cottage industry where people can find maybe a niche industry where your ethnicity or your sexual proclivities or your body type make it easy for you to pump out content and gain an audience very quickly. [00:53:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:53:21] Speaker A: Become your own manufacturing house of comedy. [00:53:24] Speaker C: Right. [00:53:25] Speaker A: Thanks to the Internet and all these things. Right. Is it that I use it. Right. Do you think? Cottage industry. Are you familiar with that? [00:53:29] Speaker C: I never heard that before. [00:53:31] Speaker A: Yeah. When people, like, produce their own stuff. [00:53:34] Speaker C: Oh, is that. Oh, sure. Like cheese, like. [00:53:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:38] Speaker B: I find it hard to. To. To. I find it hard. The word cottage, you know. [00:53:42] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:53:42] Speaker A: Why? [00:53:43] Speaker B: Like, we used. So it's well established that I'm a foul mouth gutter snipe that uses inappropriate language. [00:53:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:53:51] Speaker B: But I didn't. Wasn't always that way. When I was a young lad, we had a mate who hung around us who used to use the C word. And we never did. [00:54:01] Speaker A: Couldn't use the C word growing up in our generation, didn't really use. [00:54:06] Speaker B: We could in England, but we chose not to. Our social group because we had a lot of female friends, we hung around with a lot of females and it wasn't appropriate. But we had one guy who. Who kept using the word all the time. So as a compromise, he said, this guy's a trailblazer. Yeah. As a compromise, we said, let's you, instead of saying that word, say cottage instead. So we all started saying the word [00:54:35] Speaker A: cottage, but it's nothing phonetically, like, no, it isn't. [00:54:38] Speaker B: It isn't. It isn't. But I don't even know why that word was chosen, but it became ingrained and we would say, oh, you, cottage and blah, blah, blah, and laugh about it because we weren't really being offensive. And so now whenever I hear the word cottage, it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean a cute thatched little house with roses out of there. So you keep calling comedy a cottage industry. You're right, it is a cottage industry. [00:55:07] Speaker A: Definition. [00:55:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:09] Speaker A: Oh, because of the the other association. [00:55:10] Speaker B: Because my definition is also. [00:55:13] Speaker A: Okay. [00:55:14] Speaker C: All right. [00:55:14] Speaker A: Well, [00:55:17] Speaker C: all right. [00:55:17] Speaker A: Go. Five famous Indians. Go. [00:55:23] Speaker C: Gandhi. Go. [00:55:25] Speaker B: Famous Indians. [00:55:29] Speaker A: Rami Malik. [00:55:30] Speaker C: Go. [00:55:30] Speaker B: Well, no, we'll time out. Rami Malek is a Yank. [00:55:37] Speaker A: Yes. [00:55:38] Speaker B: Yeah. You want to talk about actual Indians, People from India. All right. Kapil Dev. He's a cricketer. [00:55:47] Speaker C: Who's the Beatles guy? Who's the guy that taught George Harrison to play the sitar? [00:55:51] Speaker B: Maharishi Yogi. [00:55:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:53] Speaker A: No, the Maharishi is. Yes. [00:55:55] Speaker C: Yes. [00:55:56] Speaker A: No, but that was Sanjay Gupta. Go. That was Raji Shankar. Ravi Shankar. [00:56:03] Speaker B: Ravi Shankar taught George Harrison. [00:56:05] Speaker A: Ravi Shankar. [00:56:06] Speaker B: Ravi Shankar is also cockney rhyming slang for wanker. [00:56:09] Speaker A: Oh, really? Is that in the viz. [00:56:11] Speaker B: He's a bit of a Ravi Wanker on Puri. Most famous actor. [00:56:18] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, he's good. He's in Life of PI, Right? [00:56:22] Speaker B: No. [00:56:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:23] Speaker B: No. [00:56:24] Speaker A: Was he Monsoon Wedding. Oh, Dev Patel. Go. Well, Dev Patel from Slumdog Millionaire. [00:56:33] Speaker B: And is he Indian? [00:56:34] Speaker A: Yep. [00:56:36] Speaker C: What? [00:56:37] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:56:38] Speaker B: Because a lot of the people I think of their English in my mind. [00:56:42] Speaker A: Well, this brings up her bit about being lumped in with the Chinese. Anyone that's Asian? What? [00:56:50] Speaker C: What? [00:56:52] Speaker B: Remember last week? [00:56:53] Speaker C: Yeah. I was waiting for this to come up. Yep. [00:56:55] Speaker A: That's why I'm doing. [00:56:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:58] Speaker A: Why are you pointing at him? [00:56:59] Speaker C: You might not have been here, Bill. So you might. Where was I? [00:57:02] Speaker A: You did a show without me. [00:57:03] Speaker C: No, we were talking before the show, and we were talking about. Mark had said, she's Asian, and I had said she was Middle Eastern. And he said, no, she's Asian. And he said, she's Indian. And I said, okay, I do understand. India is part of Asia. But, you know. And so I said, okay, fine, fine. You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. And then she does confront that in the. She talks about it in the special, which, you know. [00:57:28] Speaker A: But do they also put. And did she mention. I don't remember. She's being lumped in as Asian? Which would. Which would include the Philippines, China, Japan. But does it also include Pacific Islander? Where do you put the Pacific Islander? That would also be Asian. [00:57:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:48] Speaker A: Okay, Pacific Islander, yeah. [00:57:49] Speaker C: Right. [00:57:49] Speaker A: But then when you get into Pakistan. [00:57:52] Speaker B: Asia. [00:57:53] Speaker C: Asia. [00:57:53] Speaker A: Really? [00:57:54] Speaker C: Yep. [00:57:55] Speaker A: Pakistan's also Asia. [00:57:56] Speaker B: Yeah. About Africa. Asia. [00:57:59] Speaker A: How about Afghanistan? Afghani. Now, are we in the Middle East? [00:58:05] Speaker B: Nothing. That's Asia. Because how do. How do they divvy up Russia? [00:58:11] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:58:12] Speaker A: I don't know. Pakistan's Asia, definitely. So someone like the great Kumail Nanjiani, great benefactor of the Lincoln Lodge. He's an Asian by definition, but he played. [00:58:29] Speaker B: Pakistan is just a partition piece of India originally. [00:58:32] Speaker A: Okay, you're telling me I don't know, right? I'm not worldly Christians. [00:58:37] Speaker B: Look, you don't know the history of Pakistan. [00:58:39] Speaker A: I do not. I do not. Pakistan is, as you might have gathered, I'm American. [00:58:44] Speaker B: Mm. [00:58:45] Speaker A: And we're not up on. [00:58:46] Speaker B: Did you not watch the movie Gandhi? [00:58:49] Speaker A: I did not. I should. [00:58:50] Speaker B: Seminal classic, to answer your question. [00:58:53] Speaker C: Just real quick, Mark. The Asian border in Russia is the Ural Mountains in the Ural river geographical divide. [00:59:02] Speaker B: Yep. [00:59:03] Speaker C: Yes. [00:59:04] Speaker A: I will say Ben Kingsley, probably one of the world's finest actors ever. [00:59:08] Speaker B: Did you know I only just found this out? There was a big hoo ha that he should be playing Gandhi, this English actor. [00:59:16] Speaker C: Okay. [00:59:17] Speaker B: I never knew Ben Kingsley is half Indian. [00:59:19] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, I didn't know either. So that gave him so more of a birthright. [00:59:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Stick that in your pipe. [00:59:27] Speaker A: Yeah. He really looked like. [00:59:29] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:59:29] Speaker A: I actually didn't know what Gandhi looked like. I only know he was Ben Kingsley as Gandhi. [00:59:34] Speaker B: Well, you would think Gandhi would be his. His defining moment, but Sexy Beast is easily his defining moment. Easily. [00:59:43] Speaker A: Yeah. He was great in that. How about House of Sand and Fog? What a film. [00:59:47] Speaker B: Have you seen now? [00:59:48] Speaker C: No. [00:59:48] Speaker A: Oh, very good. Okay. So, yeah, I. I still. When I say go Indians, I confuse it. [01:00:00] Speaker C: All right. [01:00:02] Speaker A: As we as Americans, and maybe not so much British because you're. You're closer in geographic proximity. [01:00:09] Speaker C: Yeah. And you've colonized. [01:00:11] Speaker A: Yeah. You colonized. [01:00:13] Speaker B: It's a shared history. [01:00:15] Speaker A: Yeah. You colonized India. Right. [01:00:17] Speaker B: I personally, I'm not that old. [01:00:19] Speaker C: Mark was over there. [01:00:20] Speaker B: I know I'm old. I'm not that bloody old. [01:00:22] Speaker A: So what is it like for the Brits in India when you go to visit there? I know you enjoy Indian food, and I want to talk about Indian food as well. I want to talk about all things India today. [01:00:30] Speaker B: All right? [01:00:31] Speaker A: Indian food. The Cleveland Indians, How India relates to the Native American Indians. Where does that come from? Why do we call Indians here Indians? And why do you know why? [01:00:46] Speaker B: Because early exploratory voyagers thought they had landed in India when they in fact, landed in America. Okay. [01:00:56] Speaker A: And so. [01:00:57] Speaker B: So they called him Indians, thinking this is. We're in India. [01:01:00] Speaker C: Yep. [01:01:01] Speaker A: Okay. So the. The Indians here never thought of themselves in any way as Indians, I'm guessing. [01:01:07] Speaker C: I don't think so. [01:01:08] Speaker B: Pretty sure. Not probably Americans either. [01:01:12] Speaker A: No. [01:01:13] Speaker C: Right. [01:01:13] Speaker A: They. All. Their tribes all have distinct names, but, yeah, they don't. What do they. I guess they don't think of themselves at all that way. [01:01:21] Speaker B: Wow. We're headed. We're down to six listeners a week now. [01:01:26] Speaker A: Why? Just alienated the audience. I didn't mean like that. They don't think them. They don't think of, you know, they don't brand themselves the way we've branded them as Indians or Native Americans or whatever. [01:01:38] Speaker C: I used to. [01:01:38] Speaker A: I used to date, like, guys. [01:01:40] Speaker C: A Native American, and she told me that they prefer to be called Indian. She said, at this point, really? Like, yeah, we don't like being called Native Americans. We prefer just. We're fine with Indian. [01:01:49] Speaker A: Well, that doesn't seem right. Seem right. Right. [01:01:52] Speaker C: I mean, I guess it's their call. [01:01:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:57] Speaker A: Okay. Where are we here? What are we talking about? [01:02:00] Speaker B: How do they get to be called [01:02:02] Speaker A: Indians and then where's Indiana coming into play? The state of Indiana. [01:02:06] Speaker C: Yeah, right there. And they. Yeah. Or is that, like, how there's, like, you know, like a dozen different parises in the U.S. you know, there's like, a Paris. Texas. There's a Paris. [01:02:17] Speaker A: Paris, Missouri. [01:02:18] Speaker C: Yeah. Was Indiana just kind of like that? [01:02:21] Speaker B: The one I never knew was Memphis. I never knew there was a Memphis. In Egypt, there is a dip shit. [01:02:26] Speaker A: Well, that explains why they have that big pyramid thing there. [01:02:29] Speaker C: I thought that was the best pro shop. [01:02:31] Speaker A: It is. It was. [01:02:33] Speaker B: It started off as the Memphis Grizzlies stadium. [01:02:36] Speaker A: They played in there. [01:02:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:37] Speaker A: And it's a hotel in there, too. I want to go there. You've been to Memphis a lot, right? [01:02:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I've been to a lot. Yeah. [01:02:43] Speaker A: Yeah. All right. [01:02:46] Speaker B: Well, so India. I've been to India. [01:02:48] Speaker A: You have? [01:02:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:50] Speaker A: Do you get the shits as everyone does? [01:02:52] Speaker B: No, I got bloody bronchitis off some Wisconsin D bag on the way over, though. [01:02:58] Speaker A: Oh. [01:03:00] Speaker B: Coughing into my bloody ear all the way over there. And then when I get there after two or three days, you got that same thing out. Out for the count. [01:03:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Balls. [01:03:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:10] Speaker A: That sucks. [01:03:11] Speaker B: Yep. [01:03:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I think you told me about that. You're miserable. You have to go to the doctor, one of these great Indian doctors that she goes on and on about. [01:03:18] Speaker B: So there was 10 of us on this trip traipsing around in a bloody minivan, and I'm there to do what? [01:03:24] Speaker A: Just take in the sights. [01:03:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:25] Speaker A: You know, we went Taj Mahal. [01:03:27] Speaker B: Yeah. We went to a bunch of different cities, and I'm sitting like Typhoid Mary in the back seat. [01:03:33] Speaker A: You must have infected everybody on the bus, too. [01:03:35] Speaker B: Pretty much. [01:03:36] Speaker A: They all got it, too. [01:03:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:37] Speaker A: Jesus. That from Wisconsin? How do you know he's from Wisconsin, [01:03:41] Speaker B: cuz it was Wisconsin jersey that he had on. [01:03:44] Speaker A: Yeah, okay, fair enough. [01:03:47] Speaker B: That's. Every American getting on an international flight has to have their state emblazoned on their chest. Yeah. [01:03:54] Speaker A: Where they're from. Yeah, yeah. Let everybody know. [01:03:56] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [01:03:58] Speaker B: You look at like a flight in Heathrow and stuff and everyone piles off. It's just like Florida State. [01:04:06] Speaker A: Yeah, that's great. Let everybody know where they're from. Well, I'm surprised she didn't use, you know, people shitting their pants as one of the many Indian stereotypes that she goes through. She didn't even talk about how people shit their pants over there from. What is it, the dirty water can. The Indians that live there, are they immune to the dirty water that makes you shit your pants? [01:04:29] Speaker B: You could get. I once got the shits going back to England where I'd lived for 27 years because of the change in microbes. It was a hamburger at a Speedway stadium, actually. [01:04:42] Speaker A: Really? You ate a hamburger at a Speedway stadium? [01:04:44] Speaker C: Where? [01:04:45] Speaker A: In India? [01:04:45] Speaker B: Diarrhea for a week in. In England. [01:04:48] Speaker A: Oh. [01:04:50] Speaker B: But I think any change, any change of microbes, it's nothing to do with specific places. [01:04:57] Speaker A: That's just. You're not. Not exposed. [01:04:59] Speaker B: But I think there's rapid changes from right in Continent, Intercontinental. Like a French person's not going to get the shits if they go to Spain because it's not that different. [01:05:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:05:11] Speaker B: I think great in the distance. [01:05:14] Speaker A: Yeah. And something too about the food in, like, the bread in Italy or whatever is not the same as the bread here. Like in terms of, I don't know, the yeast or the wheat or whatever. In terms of making you fat. Right. Like whatever we eat here makes us all fat, whereas over there it doesn't. That didn't go anywhere. Hit the button. Who's banging out there? [01:05:40] Speaker C: Scan Code Pink people. [01:05:42] Speaker A: That guy that roots around the basement? [01:05:44] Speaker C: No, Code Pink is Porky's friend Danica. [01:05:48] Speaker B: Why are they yelling? [01:05:49] Speaker C: I don't know. [01:05:50] Speaker A: Don't they know we're on air? We need a non air sign out there. [01:05:52] Speaker C: Do you want me to open the door and yell, scream at him? Hey, pipe down, all right? [01:05:58] Speaker A: Were you aware of all these Indian stereotypes? Good at math. [01:06:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:06:04] Speaker A: Owns motels? [01:06:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:06:06] Speaker A: I didn't know they. [01:06:06] Speaker C: No, I didn't know that either. Did you know that motel. What's the word when you combine two words together, like smog? [01:06:11] Speaker A: Portmanteau. [01:06:13] Speaker C: Yeah, portmanteau. Do you know that motel is one of those. It's a motor Hotel. [01:06:17] Speaker A: I guess I do. [01:06:17] Speaker C: Yeah. I didn't know that. [01:06:19] Speaker A: Motor hotel. So recently you got motels in the United Kingdom? [01:06:23] Speaker B: Not so much. It's a very small place. [01:06:26] Speaker A: Why do the Indians own motels here? There's such fleabags, the motels. A motel is just a shithole because. [01:06:36] Speaker B: So immigrants. Immigrants typically come into a country and what jobs do they take? They take the jobs that don't require a ton of interface because of language things. [01:06:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:06:53] Speaker B: So typically, immigrants would always take farm labor jobs and manufacturing jobs. Things that are manual. [01:07:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:07:02] Speaker B: And that's why. [01:07:03] Speaker A: But a motel. Running a motel isn't a manual labor, physical labor job. [01:07:09] Speaker B: Changing the beds, cleaning, maintenance. [01:07:11] Speaker A: Well, then explain the stereotype of doctor then, sir. Because doctors have to do a lot of interacting. [01:07:18] Speaker C: I guess if you're going to. If you're going to medical school, then you've. You've. You've also got the capacity to. Then you or the drive at least. I mean, not say they don't have the. Other people don't have the whatever, but to learn the language too, you know, if you're doing that much studying already. [01:07:31] Speaker B: Well, immigrants can be working class or middle class. So you get someone who's qualified as a doctor in India come in here, they're gonna want to be a doctor. Not cleaning their bogs. [01:07:43] Speaker A: Yeah, they don't want to clean the box. Hey, take out that bottle of pills in your pocket, if you will, that you just showed to me and try to read the name of the doctor who prescribed you those pills. [01:07:54] Speaker B: She was Indian heritage. [01:07:56] Speaker A: Indian heritage. [01:07:58] Speaker B: Where is it? [01:07:59] Speaker A: It's up there. [01:08:00] Speaker B: Oh, yay. Singer Nelusha. Well, it's probably Nelusha. Yay. A singer. [01:08:09] Speaker A: And you met with this doctor woman. Yeah. Nice. [01:08:13] Speaker B: Actually, I had on my Wiffle camp T shirt. [01:08:17] Speaker A: You did? [01:08:18] Speaker B: And she said to me, is which one? [01:08:20] Speaker A: Tree of Shame? [01:08:20] Speaker B: Yeah. And she said, is that a T shirt for the band Shame? And I said, I didn't even know there's a band called Shame. And she said, oh, because you're British. They're a British band, I assume. [01:08:32] Speaker A: Learn something. Well, so you've had many interactions with Indian folk being over there. Yeah. There's a lot of Indians living in Britain. [01:08:42] Speaker B: Yeah. That's the major immigrant community. [01:08:45] Speaker A: It is, yeah. So they are to Britain as. What is to Mexicans? They're Britain's Mexicans. [01:08:56] Speaker B: Yes. [01:08:56] Speaker C: Why do you think that is? Do you think it's because. Because the British had such a presence in India for so long that the Indian people are already used to British you know, isms. I'm not trying to make a joke here. I'm serious. And, like, that's why it's like an easy transition over to. [01:09:15] Speaker A: I also want to know, how close is it to India, Britain? [01:09:18] Speaker C: Right. That's what I'm thinking. [01:09:20] Speaker A: It's not. [01:09:20] Speaker C: It's not close. So what's the reason? [01:09:22] Speaker B: The reason is this. I feel like. Stop me if you heard this one before. After World War II. [01:09:28] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [01:09:31] Speaker B: So Britain has what's called the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth of the former colonies that have a heritage link to Britain. British government said to the colonies, mainly India and what do you call it, West Indies. If we need workers, we need people coming. [01:09:53] Speaker A: We're coming for you. [01:09:54] Speaker B: Come to England. [01:09:55] Speaker A: Yeah. We're not going to come here. Yeah. [01:09:58] Speaker B: And that's why Jamaica. No, she wanted to come. [01:10:03] Speaker A: Wow. Jesus, you're really. That was good. [01:10:07] Speaker B: So. Yeah, that's why. [01:10:09] Speaker A: Okay. More stereotypes. Indians or doctors. Do you find like that. [01:10:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:10:15] Speaker A: Here, there's a lot of. Yes, of course. Of course. Dunkin Donuts. That. They run the Dunkin Donuts. [01:10:19] Speaker C: Yeah, that one I wasn't. [01:10:20] Speaker A: Absolutely. And I want to take this time to. To up braid. Do you know what that means? [01:10:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:10:26] Speaker A: What? [01:10:27] Speaker B: Tell them off. [01:10:28] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:10:28] Speaker A: Upbraid. It's a good one. Upbraid. The Dunkin Donuts And Addison and Ravenswood. By the church. By Saint Andrews Church. They do a shit job over there. [01:10:44] Speaker C: And what do they do to you? They always. [01:10:49] Speaker A: They don't put the lid on. Right. They. They're not friendly and they don't say anything to me. But because you're. You just stick it at me. They don't like if I order five munchkins. [01:11:02] Speaker C: Right. [01:11:03] Speaker A: Because you have five. They give me only five. Come on, throw a couple more munchkins in there. You know, they're just. They're not friendly over there. [01:11:10] Speaker C: Yeah. The one over here on. What is it? Fullerton and Rockwell or Campbell? Fullerton and Campbell. That one has always got the people there friendly enough, but their sign is always messed up. It's always called NK and Dons, you know? Yeah. The lights are out, the things shattered. And it's always in a different way. They can't keep their sign up. [01:11:30] Speaker A: Well, they've taken out donuts. Just Dunkin now. [01:11:32] Speaker B: Well, do you know that most. A lot of immigrants are running franchises because the franchises are predatory? [01:11:41] Speaker A: What do you mean by that? [01:11:42] Speaker B: So when you're an immigrant coming to America and you're not middle class, you're working class is very limited options. And the Reason a lot of Indians run like Dunkin Donuts and Subway etc is because they were roped into very shady contracts by timeshares. Yeah. Kind of like timeshares by these franchises. Because it's obviously what they say is, well, you know, for no money down you get this franchise. But you're shackled to us. You've got to buy all your shit from us. And that's why they have to work, you know, 15 hour days. [01:12:16] Speaker A: And do you think you can turn a good buck with a franchise like a Dunkin Donuts? If you owned one Dunkin Donuts, what kind of living could you make off of that as the owner and proprietor? [01:12:26] Speaker B: According to the book that I read, Jack shit, nothing. Breaking even. Yeah. These guys are working their asses off for nothing. For nothing. [01:12:35] Speaker A: Fuck. [01:12:35] Speaker B: What about Burger King actually is interesting with Burger King. The guy, our benefactor. [01:12:42] Speaker A: Yes, Mail. [01:12:44] Speaker B: His first entree into the world of commerce was running Burger King. [01:12:49] Speaker A: He made a bunch of dough off of that. [01:12:51] Speaker B: I don't think he made a lot of money, but he sort of wet his feet in the management sphere. [01:12:56] Speaker A: If I was to own a franchise, like a fast food franchise, Burger King [01:13:00] Speaker B: franchises are bad news generally. [01:13:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [01:13:04] Speaker C: I like Burger King a lot. You do? Let's go to burger. Love it. It's my favorite. I'll never. [01:13:08] Speaker A: I didn't know that about you. [01:13:09] Speaker C: Yeah. Every time I pass when I want to go so bad. I won't do it though. [01:13:13] Speaker A: No, let's go to Burger. [01:13:14] Speaker C: I don't. I just won't eat fast food. I won't. [01:13:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not good. [01:13:17] Speaker B: What the hell are you eating? Do they have an Impossible? [01:13:19] Speaker C: Yeah, they're the only one that does. [01:13:21] Speaker A: That's the one. [01:13:21] Speaker C: That's what I'll do. I'll do the impossible one on the road. Yeah. [01:13:23] Speaker A: I think we talked about this. [01:13:24] Speaker C: Yeah. Have we? Okay. [01:13:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. Arranged marriage. Do Indians over here, do they have arranged marriages? And is that still a thing? [01:13:34] Speaker B: Indians kind of deny it when you challenge them on it, you know? [01:13:39] Speaker C: A little interesting fact though about Zarna Garg is she's arranged. Yeah, well, she was supposed to be. Her dad died when she was 14 and he wanted her to get married the day after she died with an arranged marriage. So she ran away and she stayed with her friends until she moved to the States. To Akron, Ohio? [01:13:56] Speaker B: Yep. [01:13:56] Speaker A: Wow. That's where she first landed. [01:13:58] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:13:58] Speaker A: She dodged the ball like Marcelo Hernandez. He was there too, I think. Remember? He ended up. [01:14:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:14:03] Speaker C: I wonder if they know each other. [01:14:07] Speaker A: I did not know that Indians prefer boys over girls. That's like China, isn't it? [01:14:12] Speaker C: Right. [01:14:14] Speaker A: I think that babies. [01:14:15] Speaker B: General Asian. [01:14:16] Speaker A: General Asian attitude or value is why do they like boys better than girls? [01:14:26] Speaker B: It's just the religion. I'm guessing it's rooted in religion, but I could be wrong. [01:14:31] Speaker C: Custom. [01:14:33] Speaker A: Yeah. And then lastly, and this is where I really want to drill down with you and your extensive IT background. Do you find that there's a lot of Indians working in information technology? [01:14:46] Speaker B: Virtually 70 to 80% now. [01:14:50] Speaker C: Really? [01:14:51] Speaker B: When I first came over, it was a lot of Russians I was working and they've been elbowed out, really. But it's a fashion thing. Do you remember the Celtic Tiger? When all the. All the Irish were getting into it? [01:15:05] Speaker A: Nope. [01:15:05] Speaker C: Yeah, I wasn't aware of this either. [01:15:07] Speaker B: Look it up. Celtic Tiger. Basically, outsourcing was a wave and it's been spreading gradually, globally. Which way is that? East. [01:15:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:15:24] Speaker B: But the first wave of outsourcing was actually Ireland because Ireland is virtually a third world country. So. [01:15:33] Speaker A: Because of Britain. [01:15:34] Speaker B: Because. [01:15:36] Speaker A: And how Britain has suppressed them for hundreds, thousands of years. [01:15:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:15:39] Speaker B: But then they got a little cocky. Got a little. [01:15:43] Speaker C: Just like the Buffalo Sabres. [01:15:44] Speaker B: We know it. And up their rates. So what are the. What do the wealthy do? [01:15:50] Speaker C: No, we'll go on the next one. [01:15:52] Speaker B: We'll find the next one. [01:15:54] Speaker A: All right. The. The dot that's on her head. [01:16:01] Speaker C: Yeah, it's called. [01:16:02] Speaker A: I did not know this is called a bindi. [01:16:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:16:06] Speaker A: Now I. Maybe I'm showing my ignorance, as I often do. Did not know that that was a sticker. I thought that was neither. [01:16:14] Speaker C: Did I. Did she say that? I missed that. [01:16:16] Speaker A: Maybe that was some kind of like surgical. [01:16:18] Speaker C: I thought it was marker tattoo or [01:16:19] Speaker A: brand branding that they did. [01:16:22] Speaker C: I thought it was similar to nail polish, something like that. [01:16:24] Speaker B: Yeah. I think it's just changed or it doesn't come off. [01:16:27] Speaker C: It could be either or. [01:16:28] Speaker B: No, it comes off. [01:16:29] Speaker A: Yeah, it could definitely come off now. You couldn't culturally appropriate that, like for Halloween and wear that. [01:16:36] Speaker C: I don't think it'd be a good idea. [01:16:38] Speaker B: Ask Gandhi. [01:16:40] Speaker A: Didn't have one, did he? [01:16:42] Speaker B: No, it's. I think it's mainly gals. [01:16:45] Speaker C: Right. [01:16:46] Speaker B: I think it's mainly a female thing. [01:16:47] Speaker A: There's more I need to learn about that. [01:16:48] Speaker B: She talked about it. [01:16:49] Speaker A: Yeah. So it's like a bargain sticker at Macy's. That was nice. She did. That was a good bit. Famous Indian comedians go. [01:17:02] Speaker B: Russell Peters. [01:17:04] Speaker C: Yeah. I've already said the only two famous Indian people I know. [01:17:07] Speaker A: Kamal Najiani. [01:17:09] Speaker C: Oh, I didn't even know counts. [01:17:10] Speaker A: Pakistani, right? [01:17:12] Speaker B: No, he is. He is Pakistani. Harry Kondabalu. No, but again, he's. He's [01:17:22] Speaker A: familiar with Harry Khan Davalu. [01:17:24] Speaker B: He's the guy that got APPU removed from the Simpsons. Simpsons? [01:17:30] Speaker C: Wait, Apu's been removed from the Simpsons? [01:17:32] Speaker A: He's not on the show. [01:17:32] Speaker B: Think about it. When was the last time you saw. [01:17:35] Speaker C: I haven't watched anything's past season 11 my entire life. The rest of it's garbage. [01:17:40] Speaker B: 17 years behind that. [01:17:41] Speaker C: Yeah, they're terrible. Yeah. [01:17:43] Speaker A: 7 11. She didn't talk about 7 11. She did a little bit. No, she didn't. [01:17:48] Speaker B: Harry Kandabolu got the Simpsons to cancel Apple. [01:17:52] Speaker A: He's a comedian. [01:17:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:17:53] Speaker A: And he was against the comedy of the Simpsons. [01:17:57] Speaker B: He was against Apu. Because I would be honest with you, like the first time I saw Apu on the Simpsons, I went, holy shit. Like if they did this in England, to be like, it would not fly. [01:18:10] Speaker C: Yeah, I guess I never really thought about it. That is right. [01:18:13] Speaker A: She doesn't talk about Apu. [01:18:15] Speaker C: Yeah, maybe she already covered him in the earlier specials. [01:18:20] Speaker A: Do you have any of those pretzels? [01:18:22] Speaker C: Yeah, they're all right here. [01:18:24] Speaker B: What's funny is Harry Kandabalu came and played the Lincoln Lodge and when he found out it was British, oh my [01:18:30] Speaker A: God, he hated you. [01:18:31] Speaker B: Anything he could say Anti British, which is all I heard for the next three hours. [01:18:37] Speaker A: Harry can dabble. I've never heard of this fall. Okay, any others before I get to mine? [01:18:45] Speaker B: You know who you're getting to but [01:18:48] Speaker A: Harry Kandablu and of course the great Khalil. [01:18:53] Speaker B: I don't think he kill you lizing Indian, is he? [01:18:57] Speaker A: Maybe. No, you're right. I think he's not. [01:19:01] Speaker C: Oh, all right. [01:19:02] Speaker B: I think he's not Middle Eastern. [01:19:04] Speaker A: See, here we go again. It's a very blurred line between the Middle Eastern and the. [01:19:08] Speaker B: No, I'm just going off in. [01:19:09] Speaker A: I don't know what side of the Euro mountains he's on. [01:19:12] Speaker B: I've never sat down with Khalil and actually spoken of his life and whatever. [01:19:19] Speaker A: No, you won't either. [01:19:22] Speaker B: Khalil. [01:19:24] Speaker A: The great Chicago comedian Khalil. Where's he performing this weekend? I'm sure he's around here. [01:19:28] Speaker B: What was his second name? It used to come up on my. [01:19:31] Speaker C: It did. [01:19:32] Speaker B: I knew his second name for years because it came up on caller id. Remember that insane time where I used to let comedians call in to reserve an open mic spot to my goddamn at Redline? Yeah. No So I come home from work, [01:19:49] Speaker A: so you didn't have to be there. [01:19:50] Speaker B: 27 bloody voicemails from open mic dipshits. [01:19:56] Speaker A: That's ridiculous. [01:19:58] Speaker B: Yep. [01:19:59] Speaker A: All right, well, I think we've covered all the famous people and comedians we know. We've covered all the stereotypes about Indians, the. The how Indians are lumped in with the Chinese and Asians. We could also go into all the other tropes about children of Indians wanting to be doctors and go to the best schools in the SATs, which is 99% of our ACT. But what I want to talk about this is are you attracted to Czarnagar and Indian women? Do you find an Indian woman attractive as being a white slap head? [01:20:38] Speaker B: Being a slap head? I'll tell you this, and I've. Stop me if you heard this one before. When I had my colonoscopy, I had an Indian female doctor who could have been a model. [01:20:51] Speaker C: That's rough. [01:20:52] Speaker B: Could have been us. Like when she walked in, I was like, you rescheduled? [01:20:57] Speaker C: I gotta go somewhere else. [01:20:58] Speaker B: No, I was like, holy crap. You could be a Kim model or a film star and you spend the day looking up middle aged men's. [01:21:08] Speaker C: Wait, what kind of doctor was she? [01:21:09] Speaker A: A proctologist? [01:21:10] Speaker B: Yeah. She did the colonoscopy for you? Yeah. [01:21:13] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Is that the one that gave you those pills that you got in your pocket? [01:21:17] Speaker B: No, no, it's a different. It's colonoscopy was a few years ago. [01:21:21] Speaker A: Everything turned out all right. Any polyps or anything? [01:21:23] Speaker B: No. Fine. [01:21:25] Speaker A: So the answer to that is yes, you do find Zarnagarg attractive. [01:21:30] Speaker B: No, I found my colonoscopy document. [01:21:33] Speaker A: But in general, right. I've only ever been with white women. Not by choice. Not by choice. [01:21:40] Speaker B: You got that tattooed? [01:21:42] Speaker A: I've only ever been with white one. Not by choice, but I. I could rarely get any woman to look at me. And the only ones I could were, you know, whites. [01:21:57] Speaker B: Now I'm casting my mind back to the open mic scene of late 99. Stop. [01:22:02] Speaker A: There was not nobody but whites. I only have a history of whites, but I find a czarnagarg and an Indian woman to be very exotic. I will say that Persian. Now what is Persian? Is that also Indian? [01:22:22] Speaker B: Persian's Iran, you dog. [01:22:25] Speaker A: Persian at the end of it is Asian Persian. [01:22:32] Speaker B: That Iran. [01:22:34] Speaker A: Okay, that. That's the one I like. And shout out to Alex Cormos and his. His wife is from Iraq. Also Persian. I like a Persian woman like Alex Cuomos. [01:22:49] Speaker C: Yeah, take it back. [01:22:51] Speaker A: I do not find Zarna Garg attractive or moved on or Indian woman? You're outsourcing women in general, for the record. [01:22:59] Speaker C: Oh, really? [01:22:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:23:00] Speaker C: No. [01:23:01] Speaker A: Am I allowed to say that you [01:23:03] Speaker C: can be attracted to who you want? [01:23:04] Speaker A: I'm not attracted to a race of people. [01:23:05] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. So in general, no brown women? [01:23:08] Speaker C: No, no, no. [01:23:10] Speaker B: Bill o' Donnell, if you're out there. [01:23:12] Speaker A: I didn't say brown women. There's many, many brown women who are. Oh, wait, now I'm in trouble here. That I find attractive. [01:23:19] Speaker B: I'm already reaching for the edit button. [01:23:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna get a heap of shit about this. How about you, friend? [01:23:26] Speaker C: Do I find Indian women attractive? Yes. Yeah. Not Zarnagar. [01:23:32] Speaker A: Not Zarnagarg. [01:23:34] Speaker C: No. Just not quite my type. [01:23:36] Speaker A: But do you feel like that was a true story she told about talking to the airline agent to get a bump up to first class? [01:23:44] Speaker C: I doubt that. She went and put some lipstick on. All of a sudden she got a first class seat from the back of the plane to the front. [01:23:51] Speaker A: Yeah. I think that was not true as well. Would you, Mark, sleep with Zarnagarg if Heather wasn't in the picture? [01:24:04] Speaker C: Right. You're. [01:24:05] Speaker A: You're a bachelor. You're a bachelor in your 50s. You meet Zarnagar, get a speakeasy. She wants to go home with you tonight. Will you sleep with Zarna? [01:24:24] Speaker B: No, because I don't feel a connection with her. [01:24:26] Speaker C: So you. [01:24:27] Speaker A: Based on what you've learned about her Interact and her children and her life. [01:24:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:24:32] Speaker A: Some. What Christians told you about her backstory, you wouldn't. [01:24:35] Speaker B: I'm not getting lumbered. [01:24:36] Speaker A: And her comedy. [01:24:37] Speaker B: I'm not getting lumbered with three kids. [01:24:39] Speaker A: You know, just. So you're against being with her because she has children. [01:24:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:24:44] Speaker A: Okay. Because physically of what's happened because of her having children or because she has. I'm not saying you're committing yourself to Zarna Garg for the long run just to be with her that night. [01:24:55] Speaker B: No, not with kids. No. [01:24:58] Speaker A: Because. [01:24:58] Speaker B: Not dragging that baggage into it. [01:25:00] Speaker A: Because her body's been. [01:25:02] Speaker B: No. [01:25:02] Speaker A: Destroyed by having children. [01:25:03] Speaker B: No, not her body. Her mind has been destroyed by having children. [01:25:06] Speaker A: Oh, you're saying you couldn't make love to a mother? [01:25:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:25:09] Speaker A: Okay. How about you, Christian? [01:25:12] Speaker C: I don't think so. [01:25:13] Speaker A: You're not gonna. You meet Zarnagar? Gonna. [01:25:16] Speaker C: It just doesn't seem like it would [01:25:17] Speaker B: be a good time in a Buffalo Sabers game. [01:25:20] Speaker A: 300 Yanker Bar [01:25:26] Speaker C: how many Molson Canadians [01:25:27] Speaker A: I've had up in the 300 level. All right. I wanted to. I Know, we're almost done as we've gone, Gotten long in the tooth, as we always do. But a couple things. Indian food. I love Indian food. Well, I like it, but I don't. I'm nervous about it because as a kid, I grew up in Massachusetts. There's no Indian food anywhere. [01:25:48] Speaker C: Right. [01:25:49] Speaker A: You're more familiar with Indian food. Do you have any tips for someone like me who likes it because I'm vegetarian? [01:25:57] Speaker B: Yes. It's perfect for you. [01:25:59] Speaker A: But I look at the menu, and it's so exotic, the menu. And I don't understand what all this stuff is in the spicing. [01:26:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:26:05] Speaker B: Right. [01:26:05] Speaker A: I don't know what spicing is. What. And give me something that you think I walk into Indian restaurant, I'm gonna like. It's gonna be spicy. Not too spicy and not too exotic. You know, I don't want any. [01:26:21] Speaker B: You could go. I mean, do you like rooster? What do you like coconut? [01:26:25] Speaker A: I do. [01:26:26] Speaker B: So then a curry, then you want to go for a vegetable Karma. [01:26:30] Speaker A: Vegetable Korma. Right. This. [01:26:31] Speaker B: Yep. [01:26:32] Speaker A: I'm gonna get it tonight, I think [01:26:33] Speaker B: with a nan bread. [01:26:34] Speaker A: I like a nan. [01:26:37] Speaker B: You want the. [01:26:39] Speaker A: The what's in a vegetable corner? Just mixed vegetables. [01:26:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:26:43] Speaker A: Okay. Korma. What's a doll? I. I've had a doll at Whole Foods. Like a. [01:26:51] Speaker B: Normally, dal is like lentil. [01:26:53] Speaker A: I like that. And let me test Christian's knowledge of Indian food. [01:26:58] Speaker C: Oh, it's very, very minimal. [01:27:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Because you don't get a lot of it up in Buffalo. [01:27:02] Speaker C: No. Didn't grow up with it. I do. I do really like Indian food, but it's more of a. I'll just be guided by whoever I'm with and have retained. But you do like it? I do. [01:27:12] Speaker A: Does it give you the shits? [01:27:13] Speaker C: No, no, no. [01:27:15] Speaker A: Do you get the shits from Indian food? That's a stereotype not only of India and the water there, but Indian food here in America will give people the. [01:27:22] Speaker C: I don't know. That was a stereotype here. I didn't actually. I didn't know that that was a stereotype in India either. [01:27:27] Speaker A: Oh, I think because of the spicing, it's. The American diet is not used to it. [01:27:31] Speaker B: If you go insane and get like a vindaloo or something, if you get [01:27:34] Speaker C: something like anything very, very spicy, it doesn't matter if it's Indian, Mexican, whatever. [01:27:39] Speaker B: So British people got into Indian food because obviously Indians brought it over with them. And then what would happen is every restaurant food place in England would close it, like 8pm they'd stay open Late. They'd stay open late. So all the drunks would go in there after the pub. [01:27:56] Speaker A: That's Chinese food here, at least in the eastern side. [01:27:59] Speaker B: And that's how people started getting into it because it was the only food available then. Of course, most of these people who are going into the. To the curry house after the pub are drunken ignoramuses and they are trying to out ignoramus everyone. So they're like, what's the hottest food you've. What's the hottest one? That's part of. I'm a man. I've had 10 pints of lager. And now. [01:28:23] Speaker C: Right, you're gonna have. [01:28:24] Speaker B: Right, and now I'm gonna have a vindaloo. [01:28:26] Speaker A: Well, that's why they. Their brain. [01:28:27] Speaker C: You're gonna have a bunch of booze and a bunch of spicy food. Yeah, exactly. [01:28:30] Speaker B: And you're gonna wake up the next morning with the world falling out of your. I mean, some people. Yes, they can make the. The. The curry so hot, you. There's just sweat. What is this pouring off them? [01:28:43] Speaker A: Yeah, what is this? The hot spice? [01:28:45] Speaker B: Curry. [01:28:46] Speaker C: Curry. [01:28:46] Speaker B: Curry powder. [01:28:47] Speaker A: Curry powder just can be hot on. On its own. But not all curry powder is hot. [01:28:52] Speaker B: No. I don't know. [01:28:53] Speaker A: What is the pepper? It's a pepper. Some kind of. It's not like the. You know. [01:28:57] Speaker C: What is a pepper? [01:28:58] Speaker A: Yeah, it's pepper curry. Yeah. [01:29:01] Speaker B: Is it? [01:29:01] Speaker A: I don't know. Oh, well, pepper. [01:29:05] Speaker B: There was an American, not really Indian, but Indian guy come through here, had a really funny joke one time. He goes, why did Britain colonize India? Just to get spices. Oh, what did you do, sail it back to England and just go, no, we don't eat this and throw it in the fucking channel. Like, what the hell were you doing with the spices for 200 years? You weren't putting it in Yorkshire pudding. [01:29:32] Speaker A: No, it's not bland food. Yeah. They didn't really use the spices after college. [01:29:36] Speaker B: Which is kind of funny because you're like, yeah, they. It was colonized specifically for food. Spices and like, silk and stuff. [01:29:46] Speaker C: Yep. [01:29:47] Speaker B: But not incorporated right in any way. So what the hell were they doing with it? [01:29:52] Speaker C: Do you think? You think it was just too spicy or like the spices were too much to handle? For people that are used to bland [01:29:58] Speaker B: food, there's a thing. And it could be bullshit. But they said curry was actually developed to mask this, the taste of rancid meat. [01:30:09] Speaker C: We got a caller. [01:30:10] Speaker A: We've got a caller, folks. [01:30:12] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. That's the case with a lot of different kind of let's bring. [01:30:15] Speaker A: Let's bring in our caller. [01:30:16] Speaker C: All right. You're all right. You are on the air, caller. [01:30:20] Speaker A: Hi. [01:30:21] Speaker D: I heard that Bill is looking for Indian food recommendations. [01:30:24] Speaker C: Yes, that's right.

Are you familiar with the old Lincoln Lodge? To take over the old restaurant. [01:30:37] Speaker B: Mm. [01:30:39] Speaker D: And then. And also there's Indian clay pot not too far away, like right under the Irving park brown line. Stop. [01:30:46] Speaker B: That's closed in it. [01:30:48] Speaker A: Clay pot. [01:30:48] Speaker B: We used to go there. I thought it closed. [01:30:51] Speaker D: Somebody just asked me to go to dinner there like a week ago. But also I couldn't go, so I'm not sure. [01:30:57] Speaker A: So, Bassan. What am I getting at? Bassan? Vindaloo or biryani? [01:31:02] Speaker B: What do you like not to get? Vindaloo. [01:31:04] Speaker A: Not a vindaloo, a korma. Have you had the vegetable korma? [01:31:08] Speaker D: Well, they got a lot of really great appetizers that are vegetarian and vegan, obviously. [01:31:13] Speaker A: Sure. You sound familiar. [01:31:15] Speaker C: Caller, have you called before? [01:31:17] Speaker A: Have you called in before? [01:31:19] Speaker B: First time listener, Long time. [01:31:21] Speaker C: Long time caller. [01:31:21] Speaker A: First time caller. [01:31:25] Speaker D: You know, I. Basically anything on their menu, they sort of like, specialize. Not that Indian food is known for small plates or anything, but, you know, basically any appetizer there is going to be a slam dunk. [01:31:35] Speaker A: Okay. [01:31:37] Speaker D: Yeah. And they bring out like a bunch of sort of smaller bowls of stuff. Like, I think it's called doll, like, whatever. [01:31:43] Speaker A: Yes. I was talking about lentil. [01:31:45] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:31:46] Speaker A: What is the fan. What is the Indian food? [01:31:48] Speaker B: That. [01:31:49] Speaker A: It's like a. It's like a crepe or. It's almost like a. [01:31:51] Speaker B: Like, you know, like samosas. [01:31:54] Speaker A: No, no, no. Those are like empanadas. Yeah, it's like a. It's like a pancake wrapper. It's almost like a. Almost like an omelet or something. [01:32:01] Speaker C: But it's. What did that Indian restaurant in Barcelona have? [01:32:05] Speaker A: Hey, how do you know this collar? [01:32:08] Speaker C: I've looked up their past while they're on the phone. [01:32:11] Speaker D: Yeah, I ate. Well, I was just really hungry for some green goo and I was very hungover, so it was. I think it was like a. It couldn't have been a chana sog. [01:32:22] Speaker C: It was that big flat bread. [01:32:25] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. They had, like, garlic naan and stuff. That was good. [01:32:28] Speaker C: Oh, is that all it was? [01:32:29] Speaker A: No, it's not. That's not what I'm thinking. [01:32:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:32:32] Speaker A: All right. [01:32:33] Speaker B: Oh, hang on. Are you thinking of Papa Dumbs? [01:32:36] Speaker A: Maybe. [01:32:37] Speaker B: Yeah, it's Like a crispy, crispy Papa Dumb. [01:32:39] Speaker A: Yeah, Papa dumb. What is it? [01:32:42] Speaker C: What's a poppadom? [01:32:45] Speaker D: Sorry. Has it been an hour and 45 minutes? You guys have not mentioned the comedian yet. [01:32:49] Speaker C: Oh, we got to do the comedian, right? [01:32:51] Speaker A: Yeah, let's get to that comedian. All right, well, thank you for that recommendation, Basant under the brown line. Hopefully it doesn't affect my brown line. [01:33:00] Speaker D: Passage is the one on Irving park and Damon. Ish. [01:33:02] Speaker A: I'm going to that one. [01:33:03] Speaker C: Maybe they can sponsor us. [01:33:05] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll talk to them about a sponsorship. [01:33:08] Speaker B: Passant is haunted by the ghosts of Lincoln Lodge comedians past. [01:33:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:33:13] Speaker D: Okay. We'll have fun talking about the comedian. [01:33:16] Speaker C: Thank you, caller. [01:33:18] Speaker A: All right, let's switch gears here, because we got to get into the comedian. [01:33:21] Speaker C: Yeah. An hour and a half later, and [01:33:24] Speaker A: I wanted to talk about the Kama Sutra. I want to show you some of these dirty pictures in here. [01:33:28] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, what's the eighth one? What time you got to kick rocks there, Mark? [01:33:32] Speaker A: Look at that. I'm showing him dirty pictures from the Kama Sutra. [01:33:37] Speaker B: She's giving him a posh box. [01:33:39] Speaker C: That doesn't look like that. I mean, that's. [01:33:41] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not. [01:33:42] Speaker C: Anyone come up with that? [01:33:43] Speaker A: Well, it's. [01:33:45] Speaker C: Or is this. Is that not really the thing? It's not like nobody else can think about this, but we're just putting names. [01:33:50] Speaker A: This old timey gal. [01:33:51] Speaker C: Now that looks complicated, given a bunch of guys. Yeah, that's. [01:33:54] Speaker B: Get out your textbooks and turn to page 17. [01:33:58] Speaker A: Look at this. Guy's upside down. There's all kinds of. [01:34:01] Speaker C: If we had an Instagram account, we could post these so people could look at them. [01:34:04] Speaker A: Yes. [01:34:05] Speaker C: We'd be deleted, I guess. [01:34:07] Speaker A: Kamasutra. Now, I read this, but I just keep looking for the pictures. [01:34:11] Speaker C: Yeah. What are you gonna read? [01:34:14] Speaker A: It tells you about stuff that's just. [01:34:15] Speaker C: I mean. [01:34:15] Speaker A: Okay, but she's right, Zarna, when she talks about the erudite. What does erudite mean? You talk. You use that a lot during the Steph Tollev, like very learned. Erudite means like learned or smart, intellectual. Right. There's a lot of esoteric erudite material in here that I can't understand. Kind of like Zarnagar talks about. She's talking about the Constitution. We don't even understand what that shit's about. [01:34:41] Speaker C: Right. [01:34:42] Speaker A: But I think the essence of the Kama Sutra is this. And I wish Zara had gone into it more. You got to go slow when you make love. That's what. That's the Essence of the Kama Sutra. Take your time. Pet. Pet your partner. Stroke them. Look into their eyes. Take it slow. Breathe like is so much a part of yoga, the Pranama's breathing technique. Breathe slow. Otherwise, if your heart rate gets too fast, you move too fast, you miss your lover. You don't. You're not in sync with your lover and you will have premature ejaculation. [01:35:26] Speaker B: What if you're up and over like a pan of milk anyway? What are you gonna do then? [01:35:30] Speaker A: This is exactly what you need. You need the Kama Sutra. You need. You need some of these techniques. [01:35:36] Speaker C: Up and over like a pan of milk. [01:35:37] Speaker A: Like a pan of milk. Yeah. I love that expression. Actually, last week, for I don't know, what reason do you think went up and over like a pan of milk? [01:35:44] Speaker C: Myself. [01:35:46] Speaker A: I caught a reflection of myself in the window because I caught my reflection of me making love to my wife in the window and that went over like a pan of milk, leaving her really unsatisfied. [01:35:59] Speaker B: Don't you think of famous Boston Red Sox players statistics or something to slow it down? [01:36:04] Speaker A: No. I used to think of this guy I saw at McDonald's that had like a skin disease. It was like blue. Half of his face was blue. Bubbly skin. That usually keeps me from going over like a pan of elk. Zarnagar. All right, now you've heard her act. Number one, I want to know a couple things. Do you like Zarnagar? Number two, what was your favorite Czarnagar joke? And number three, does she set the Indian race back 200 years? Yes or no? So first question, do you like Sarnagar? [01:36:36] Speaker B: I have a prepared statement. [01:36:38] Speaker A: Okay. [01:36:40] Speaker B: I'm tired of coming in here week after week going another pile of. I'm tired of being unsatisfied with comedy. I'm tired of being made out to be down on comedians. [01:37:00] Speaker A: Yeah, a lot of listeners feel that way about you. Specifically, [01:37:06] Speaker B: I saw Sucking on that whorehound. I saw her. I saw. She seems like a lovely lady. The post. The post special dance routine with the family. Very endearing. Etc. The fact that she chose to basically repeat the same punch line for an hour is disappointing and should not. I keep getting like, oh, Gary's a miserable bastard, because he's. I'm just tired of this. [01:37:34] Speaker A: Yes. [01:37:34] Speaker B: This bloody identity comedy. One joke, one note. [01:37:40] Speaker A: Yes. Ari Shafir, Zarna Garg. I'll even say who I enjoyed very much. Leanne Morgan. [01:37:48] Speaker B: You're contractually obliged to say that, country bumpkin. [01:37:52] Speaker A: But yes, the identity comedy is for shite. It's that cottage industry of shite that I don't. [01:37:57] Speaker B: And that's all I'm gonna say on it. [01:37:58] Speaker A: And. [01:37:59] Speaker C: Yeah, well, that's. That's a. And that's. That's a. That's a valid. Yeah, I was. The whole reason that I brought. That I brought this comedy special to the table was because I was sitting on an airplane next to a woman that was going through comedy specials one by one. She was an older Asian woman. And this one then even her. Yes, I was hoping you'd ask. [01:38:20] Speaker A: I think side of the Earl mouth. [01:38:22] Speaker C: I think she was Japanese. And then she eventually recommended it to her husband, who's also an older Asian man. And he started watching it and they were both watching it and I wondered. I was, you know, I was reading both watching Garg. I read a couple of the closed caption jokes and I was thinking, okay, this might be decent. I'm wondering to see the contrast between what, you know, obviously this woman recommended to her husband and then he was enjoying too. What. What is it that they like about this? That they obviously like something about this? What are. What are like three of us that are very different people than them going to think about. About it in contrast, not knowing it would be more of the same. Like Mark said, just like one joke for an hour. Not only that, but the. Did you notice there's also this obvious trend now that I didn't know about until we started reviewing these specials of family members bringing out the comedian and then the family joining them on stage afterward. That happened with Leanne Morgan. That happened with a number of others who I can't remember, right? So what is going on here? Here? Why is now comedy in a place where it seems to be one joke for an hour? The. We got to know all about the family and they got to be involved in it. [01:39:30] Speaker A: Can't talk about anything but the identity. [01:39:32] Speaker C: What has happened? How did it. How did it get to this state? [01:39:36] Speaker A: So here's how I see it. It used to be an old boys club comedy, right, With a few outliers, but you had mostly white men. And they would take aim at all the different minorities, right, and make fun of them. And we like that as white men, right? Men of the round table, if you will. Now, you know, evolution has made it such that all the minority folks are doing comedy and a lot of them taking shots at the white man. Turn around with fair play, right? But it's broken out into this cottage industry, this niche market or this. All these niche specials, these identity specials that are Just one note specials that they don't. They don't talk about any. Any commonalities. [01:40:20] Speaker C: Right, people? Right. Yeah, that's. That's a good point. [01:40:22] Speaker A: Your individual ethnic or religious or sexual [01:40:27] Speaker C: life, which is something that can grab my interest, at least for me for a while, you know, Because I want to know. Yeah. What is the other side? Like, what are people that aren't like me? What are they thinking? Like, what are they joking about? But after five, ten minutes of it, it's like, okay, but we want to find the. [01:40:41] Speaker A: Binds us all together, right? [01:40:42] Speaker C: Yeah, right. I need something. Right, exactly. [01:40:45] Speaker A: That we can all connect. [01:40:46] Speaker C: We need some sort of glue. [01:40:47] Speaker A: Is there a comedian like that working today? I don't know. The every man or every woman comedian. [01:40:54] Speaker B: Right. [01:40:54] Speaker A: That sees the common humanity in us and finds the humor in those. [01:40:59] Speaker C: Right. [01:41:00] Speaker A: Rather than the identity politics, if you will. As you said, that's what we're searching for here. [01:41:07] Speaker C: That is what we're looking for. [01:41:08] Speaker A: And that's what we're not finding. [01:41:09] Speaker C: No. And we have gone to the well many times, and I would love to [01:41:13] Speaker A: find it in a marginalized ethnic comedian or whatever, someone like Czarnagarg, who finds that common ground between all of us. We just haven't yet. I mean, will we find it with a white comedian or female comedian maybe? I feel like we're avoiding white men and women because, you know, it's. [01:41:37] Speaker C: Well, we're trying to see. We're trying to see what's out there and. Which is the point of this podcast. [01:41:41] Speaker A: We are. And we are. [01:41:42] Speaker C: We're exploring the. The world of. Of comedy in the state that it is today and in the past as well, comparing the two. [01:41:48] Speaker A: And so far, as Mark just said so eloquently, we're finding a lot of dreck, a lot of garbage. It's not very good comedy. Right. So you have someone like Steph Tola that has her own niche, filth comedy. Right. We don't like it because it's one note. Here we go again with this woman. It's one note Indian comedy or Ari Shafir one note Jewish comedy. Where are we gonna find the. As a musician, what do you say? [01:42:14] Speaker C: Something that plays more. More than one note on the scale. [01:42:17] Speaker A: You know, will we find them? I don't know. [01:42:23] Speaker B: Maybe comedy can only stand one note. [01:42:25] Speaker C: A pentacomic. [01:42:26] Speaker B: We haven't. We are. Maybe the comedians we thought were great and diverse and blah, blah, blah, were one note. And it's our one. [01:42:35] Speaker C: And we haven't realized our one note. Yeah. [01:42:37] Speaker A: I Think you're right. [01:42:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:42:38] Speaker B: Not. [01:42:39] Speaker C: I hope not too. [01:42:41] Speaker B: I think so. [01:42:42] Speaker C: Disappointing to discover. [01:42:45] Speaker A: Well, let's take a different genre or take a different medium. Right. Like music. Look at music. You know, you have. I don't like rap anymore. I did it at a time, but I don't. Because it's very one note to me. [01:43:00] Speaker C: Right. [01:43:01] Speaker A: I don't like pop. Same thing. Even alternative music. I'm looking for music now that is. Touches a lot of different genres of music. [01:43:10] Speaker C: Right. [01:43:12] Speaker A: As I get older. Right. Maybe that it speaks more to our age. Right. [01:43:19] Speaker C: Like. Like your taste develops too. Like we were saying last time, we want something. [01:43:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:43:23] Speaker C: Start liking different foods. [01:43:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:43:25] Speaker C: No more than just so who. Yeah. Peanut butter sandwiches. [01:43:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, we don't have to answer this today. That is the pursuit of this show, as Christian said. Right. That's why we're doing this. [01:43:38] Speaker C: We're. [01:43:38] Speaker A: We're pulling something out every week and looking at it. Maybe we'll find the next great thing. [01:43:47] Speaker B: All right, let's say Emo Phillips is one note. [01:43:52] Speaker A: What note is that? [01:43:53] Speaker B: Weird, Weirdo, weird, whatever you want to call it. Right. Is that one note tuned only to one type of person, one gender, one ethnicity? This is question I'm asking. I'm not trying to prove it or disprove it. [01:44:16] Speaker A: I don't know enough about him to say. If you look at anything, let's even [01:44:21] Speaker C: say just a specific genre of music, you know, is rock and roll. Let's call that a note. Right. Is that. [01:44:27] Speaker A: It blends. [01:44:28] Speaker C: Right? [01:44:29] Speaker A: It's a blend. It's a hybrid. [01:44:30] Speaker C: However, there are specific types of people that you. That you see at different concerts, like an emo concert. [01:44:36] Speaker A: You. [01:44:37] Speaker C: You'd expect a certain group. [01:44:38] Speaker B: Like white teenagers. [01:44:40] Speaker C: Exactly. You know, so, so is that. Is that similar to the comedy world of that note or genre appealing to certain people? [01:44:48] Speaker A: I don't know. But surprisingly, I would have thought that, you know, when they panned to the audience or the audience would be all Indian people. [01:44:55] Speaker C: Yeah, they were. [01:44:55] Speaker A: It'd be like a small club with all Indian people. It looked like you had a mix. I mean, I think it was more middle aged as she surveyed, you know, the age of people. But I saw some slap heads. I saw some African Americans. I saw, you know, whites in there enjoying the comedy. It seemed like. [01:45:11] Speaker B: I think one thing. She's incredible. Did you notice when the production credits were rolling, she's got her own production company. She is very in control of what she is doing, which probably means she's incredibly smart and has built an audience Quickly by knowing this is what they want and this is what I need to give them. If she's got her own production company, for sure. [01:45:35] Speaker C: So within six years. [01:45:37] Speaker B: Yeah, mainly. Yeah. To get to whatever she's at because she mentioned her social media following and blah, blah, blah. And it's like, okay, someone, someone knows what the Jeff they're doing here. Anywho. [01:45:51] Speaker A: Yeah, it's all packaging and it is, it's like. I will give you the perspective of a 17 year old boy. Man. Man. Boy is a 17 year old man or boy who walked in and sat and listened to this this morning with me or watched this with me for 10, 15 minutes and he said, and I quote, this woman sucks. Well. And I couldn't disagree, you know, but who. [01:46:21] Speaker B: To give context, who would this, this youth say doesn't suck? [01:46:26] Speaker A: Well, I did, I did bring that up. I was like, hey, why don't you pick somebody for us? I'll, I'll recommend it on the show, we'll listen to it, we'll watch it together and I'll bring you in. And his. Who do you think he said? Shane Gillis. Right, that he liked. [01:46:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:46:43] Speaker A: I said, well we already did him. Pick somebody else and we'll do that. So he's, he's thinking on that. [01:46:48] Speaker C: But hey, just real quick, do you think we just hit the nail on the head when he said the thing about the social media, you know, she's got this. Her social media is blowing up, you know, and could that attribute to why it's one note with these more. [01:47:01] Speaker A: Find that one because, because they, they [01:47:03] Speaker C: have to have it be that one note for every little clip they put out on Instagram or TikTok or whatever. You know, that's what their fan base wants. If they stray from that one note, they're not getting the views and the followers anymore anymore. [01:47:14] Speaker B: Like with a band where they put out their new concept album and all that. [01:47:18] Speaker C: Right. [01:47:19] Speaker B: And the fans. [01:47:20] Speaker C: Right. Yeah. So that, so, so they, they can, they'll sacrifice their art for the followers and the money. Has it become too capital? [01:47:32] Speaker B: I don't know. [01:47:34] Speaker A: Has it become. [01:47:35] Speaker C: It's just. Is it because of social media that it's ruined the, the long form art? [01:47:39] Speaker A: I, I think, I think you're honest. Long form special and, and I think they are trying to just capture just Right. [01:47:45] Speaker C: It really then narrows. [01:47:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:47:47] Speaker C: What you can, what you can write and what you can put out there and then that ends up being an hour of that. [01:47:52] Speaker A: Yeah, you're right. I think it is. Yeah. Do you Have a favorite joke. Because even in these comedians that we hate, I do have one. [01:48:01] Speaker C: She did make me laugh a few times. And I can't remember exactly what the jokes were, but there were a couple. [01:48:05] Speaker A: Mine was when a child asked me, did you not have an. Do you not have anxiety or did you not have anxiety when we were. When you were young? No, we had cigarettes. Pretty good joke. [01:48:18] Speaker C: I thought you. I thought you were going to talk about the tapes, rewinding the tapes. [01:48:21] Speaker B: It wasn't a joke. But she talked about how, you know, Britain had had Rishi Sunak as the Prime Minister, who is obviously Indian heritage. And she was like, we should have just come back to Gandhi. You don't need to do this. You don't need to. That was an interesting concept. She. I thought. I felt she pulled up on a couple of things. Like, Indian society has a huge. Well, every society has an issue with misogyny and blah, blah, But India has a bad issue with it. And she just kind of pulled up on it. And I was reading the Wiki, like you did, about how her. When her mom died, her dad tried to force her to an arranged marriage and she said, f that and ran off. Yeah, that's a something to talk about. [01:49:06] Speaker C: Right. [01:49:06] Speaker A: But that's not in here. [01:49:07] Speaker B: It's not. [01:49:07] Speaker A: Right. It's just. I thought of a new name for a special one. It was over Zarnagarg. Indian cliches. You know, just. Let's drag out all the Indian cliches and tropes, right, and give you that. That's why we hate it. [01:49:21] Speaker C: Right. [01:49:22] Speaker A: What do you think about that meditation closer? That reminded me of somebody who did a meditation bit recently. [01:49:29] Speaker C: Oh, who did a. Oh, was it. Yeah, it was with the doll. The same one, right? [01:49:34] Speaker A: No, the Bulldog. One of the Bulldog twins. [01:49:36] Speaker C: Oh, I thought you meant that. [01:49:39] Speaker A: I wonder if he left Gargs. [01:49:41] Speaker C: Yeah, maybe that's. Yeah. Andy Bulldog does the meditation. Yeah. He makes the whole crowd close their eyes. [01:49:46] Speaker A: Yeah. Maybe he took it from Garg. [01:49:48] Speaker C: I'm gonna ask him. [01:49:48] Speaker A: Hey, did you take that bit? [01:49:49] Speaker C: Hey, where'd you get that? I'm gonna. I'm gonna say, you ever seen any Zarna Gargan? I'm gonna look at him real close in the face and see if he twitches at all. [01:49:57] Speaker B: Look for the tell breaks out. [01:49:59] Speaker A: Did you wait around after the special to what the algorithm queued up next? Because that's what I'm really interested. [01:50:04] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, it did it. Pull up Bob's burgers. [01:50:08] Speaker A: Oh, maybe it's different for us. [01:50:09] Speaker B: Now they're pushing. I got Bob's burgers. They're just pushing. [01:50:12] Speaker C: Yeah, I was watching on my sister's on our listener Chelsea's Hulu account too, so she might watch Bob Burgers. I don't know. [01:50:20] Speaker A: Mine went right into the documentary about Barbara Walters, which I gotta see. [01:50:25] Speaker C: I had Barbara's burgers. [01:50:27] Speaker A: I guess that's a. [01:50:29] Speaker B: Fascinating bananas. [01:50:31] Speaker A: All right, well, you've, you've heard it all here today. We've covered a lot of ground. We've certainly talked about Zarnagarg, we've talked about the Kama Sutra, Indian stereotypes, Indian food. We had a call in today which was amazing. [01:50:43] Speaker C: Yep. [01:50:44] Speaker A: And much better audio quality than the first call in. We, we had. And we decided that as Mark kind of summarized it for us, we've all had it with identity comedy. So next week we'll be zagging or zigging, if you will, with one of my favorite all time comedians, someone who I think is a comedy everyman man, and that will be Patton Oswalt. I love everything from 2020 on Netflix. [01:51:15] Speaker C: All right. [01:51:15] Speaker A: The great Patton Oswalt. Hetero, white male. [01:51:21] Speaker C: I think I might have seen this one actually already. [01:51:23] Speaker A: I don't even know if I've seen it before. But yeah, I think, I think we're gonna enjoy this one. All right. [01:51:29] Speaker B: I, I once listened to an album called Werewolves and Lollipops. Thought it was abysmal and haven't listened. [01:51:35] Speaker A: Okay, well, all right. Don't let that skew your. [01:51:39] Speaker B: I'm afraid. [01:51:40] Speaker A: Try to go in with a clean palette. [01:51:41] Speaker B: I'm afraid he's starting. He's starting from. Don't bring in a negative. [01:51:46] Speaker A: Yeah, well, you also don't like Indians either, so that probably affected your review of Zarnagar. You've been on record as.

[01:52:23] Speaker C: Well, is that. [01:52:24] Speaker A: You're not going to give her more than one bindy anyway. Clearly you already gave her a scathing review. But how many bindies out of four Bendies? [01:52:31] Speaker B: Zero. There's zero. [01:52:32] Speaker A: There's not even one. [01:52:34] Speaker B: Nothing for me.

She brought a crowd, you know. [01:53:11] Speaker A: She brought a crowd. [01:53:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:53:13] Speaker A: Could she sell out the Chicago theater? Zara Garc.

I love Indian food. I'm rooted in the Indian culture with meditation and American Buddhism and the Kama Sutra. It's a big part of my life. I've embraced a lot of their ideals. And I want to see more from Czarnagarg. I want to know things other than [01:54:12] Speaker C: Indian stuff similar to the other comedians that we've reviewed. Yeah, you've said. [01:54:16] Speaker A: But some of those comedians I didn't like, I don't like them. I like Zarnagar. [01:54:20] Speaker C: You want to see what else you got can do? [01:54:22] Speaker A: Want to see what she can do? [01:54:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:54:23] Speaker A: Although, you know, when I saw her behind the scenes and that dancing at the end. [01:54:26] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:54:27] Speaker A: I didn't like her as much, you know, when, you know, she had her guard down. Her G on that one. [01:54:34] Speaker C: All right.
