Review: Remain Seated, Larry The Cable Guy

[00:00:08] Speaker A: Remember, I want to go to the flea market with you. [00:00:09] Speaker B: Yep. [00:00:10] Speaker A: You'll take me, right, dad? Yeah, you said you would. [00:00:15] Speaker B: You're not a shite buyer. [00:00:17] Speaker A: I'm a shite buyer. Sure. I've given you shite. I gave you two nice old style shite. Did you get that first one fixed that nice with that big one, the barrel. I kept telling, no, I don't want it back. My missus won't let me put it on the wall. [00:00:35] Speaker B: Why not? [00:00:36] Speaker A: In our homes? Yeah. [00:00:37] Speaker B: I don't know, because it looks tawdry. Yeah, but I don't see you as a shite. Oh, I love shite. [00:00:44] Speaker A: I live in close quarters though. My. [00:00:46] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I miss. [00:00:47] Speaker A: Won't let me. [00:00:48] Speaker B: You got four, what, 17 kids now? [00:00:50] Speaker A: Yep. Since last week. Yep. [00:00:53] Speaker B: Think about how, how much shite comes with a kid. [00:00:56] Speaker A: Yeah, a lot of shite. They're not allowed to have any shite. Got myself a storage space. [00:01:03] Speaker B: Oh, that's a slippery slope. You got one should never get a storage space. So what I'm with storage. I had, I bought a store so I had to get out of LA fast. So I put everything in storage. By the time I'd spent three. Three times the value of what was in the storage unit, I gave it all away to remember Rob Wheeler? [00:01:27] Speaker A: Do I remember Rob Wheeler? [00:01:29] Speaker B: He had the motorbike. Did I? [00:01:31] Speaker A: When was this? When did you have storage in LA? [00:01:35] Speaker B: I like 27 years. No, because I've only been here 27, maybe 25 years. It's probably a quarter century. So I had a place in Hermosa beach because I thought I was a rock star. Are mourning at the time. [00:01:47] Speaker A: This is before you moved here? [00:01:49] Speaker B: No, I was here then. I got a place there with this Australian girl I knew. [00:01:55] Speaker A: You were shagging this girl. [00:01:56] Speaker B: Nah, nah, she was Australian. And the. So anyway, she goes back to Australia. I'm like, hey, you know, I'm not maintaining this place. But then I got all this shot. I was really ill the week I had to get, get out of the place. So I just shoved it all in storage, which is, you know, a stupid ass mistake that many millions of people are making. And then, you know, you forget about it. Right. Oh yeah, it's out of sight now. So it was like two goddamn years. It sat there draining my money, paying. [00:02:32] Speaker A: The note on that storage. [00:02:33] Speaker B: Yeah. And then I was like, you know what, I'll just. I know enough people in la. And I literally just posted on the ha ha ha, go. If you are willing to come get it. There's a storage unit in wherever. Culver City or wherever the. And it's got in it. It's got a really good mountain bike, a motorbike, a bed, like all of this. And Rob Wheeler says, I'll have the motorbike. And I said, well, you know, you're gonna have to sort of sneak it out because I sneaked it in, because, you know it's got petrol in it. You can't put it in a storage unit. And then I said, it's gonna be a bitch to start, because it always was. But he got it going anyway. And then. You remember Sean Harkle Road? The man of a thousand voices? [00:03:19] Speaker A: Yeah, I remember the name. Did he look like Andy Martello? A little bit. Had a big blockhead, kind of. [00:03:26] Speaker B: Yeah, kind of a large, enormous block. And he used to do a Clinton impression. Yes, yeah. [00:03:31] Speaker A: Harkle Road. [00:03:32] Speaker B: He took. He took the contents, the living contents. Bed, bed, mountain bike, all this stupid that I had, you know, a kitchen table, everything you need to live. [00:03:45] Speaker A: And stains on the bed. Any stains on the menses? Stains? [00:03:49] Speaker B: No, I don't menstruate well. [00:03:55] Speaker A: In Bird. [00:03:58] Speaker B: What else was there? [00:03:59] Speaker A: Wait, what year was this? Weren't you here? I was here. Where? How? When were you there? I don't remember you being there. [00:04:06] Speaker B: Well, so what. What. [00:04:07] Speaker A: What was Wheeler doing there? He moved there. [00:04:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:10] Speaker A: After here? [00:04:11] Speaker B: Yeah. And he gave the bike to Dwyer, who couldn't ride it for obviously being a hipster, you know, whatever. And. And so I don't know where someone. I think Wheeler told me some crackhead stole it, something, and he, like, he kept finding it halfway down the road, just abandoned, and bringing it back because no one could start it. [00:04:41] Speaker A: I want everyone to know what a good guy I am. And so I'm gonna tell you the story about Rob Wheeler. Do you remember in the 2000 Chicago Comedy Fest, Rob Wheeler was not accepted for his comedy. [00:04:52] Speaker B: Oh, controversial. [00:04:54] Speaker A: Yeah. And I thought that was a. He was done wrong. So in one of my sets at the Bible school, I went up and I said a joke or something. Then I said, now I'd like to introduce comedian Rob Wheeler. So I. He couldn't get in, so I went up and I. I gave him my time. [00:05:17] Speaker B: He bombed, I was going to say. And then he didn't do me any. [00:05:20] Speaker A: Good or him any good. [00:05:21] Speaker B: That classic bit of classic meaningless gesture of the old comedy community. [00:05:29] Speaker A: Rob Wheeler. You stay in touch with Rob, do you? [00:05:33] Speaker B: No. You know what? So he was mates with Trum. When did I lose touch With Rob probably, you know, early days of social media, he was never like that guy to. He's a good lad. [00:05:48] Speaker A: But you want to know what they told him? Or I don't know, maybe it was you that told him this or maybe your. Your partner there. Why he was not. Because he was upset. He was very upset. He didn't get into the festival. [00:05:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:01] Speaker A: They said he was too old. At 28. He was 28. And they said, you're too old. That's what he said. [00:06:09] Speaker B: That's bullshit. [00:06:10] Speaker A: That's what he said. [00:06:11] Speaker B: That's maido. [00:06:11] Speaker A: That's what he said. [00:06:17] Speaker B: Oh, that used to be the worst week of the year. Like the. The burning eyes of accusation on any room I walked in. [00:06:28] Speaker A: Yes, yes. Oh, people must have been kissing your ass like crazy. Well, I don't think this guy has ever been in the Chicago comedy festival. This. This next contestant on we hate your comedy. What would you say the percentage of comedians we like is Verse we don't like? [00:06:47] Speaker B: We started off. Yeah, we plateaued early, and now I feel like. Now I feel like we're on this plunging. [00:06:58] Speaker A: Well, well, let's not. I don't want to, you know, tip my hand here at all. [00:07:04] Speaker B: I think we both went through the same thing, though, because we both expected to come in and hate everything, which is where we left comedy essential. Hating it. And we're like, okay, well, we're not gonna like it. And we were both pleasantly surprised. [00:07:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:17] Speaker B: Oh, we actually do like this thing still. But now, now six weeks in, the fatigue is set in already. [00:07:25] Speaker A: Or you watch the more you hate. [00:07:27] Speaker B: Yes. [00:07:28] Speaker A: Right. If you come in with fresh eyes, you haven't watched much for a while, you might like it. [00:07:32] Speaker B: Maybe we should watch a comedy special once every three years. [00:07:36] Speaker A: Do this once every three years. Say how we like it. Well, tonight we'll be reviewing Larry the cable guys latest special. Remain seated. And this is one of the few specials where both Mark and I and our producer Christian have all watched this program. [00:07:57] Speaker B: Christian's idea. [00:07:58] Speaker A: This was Christian's idea. Yes. We were struggling to come up with someone to watch or we had forgotten who we were going to watch. And Christian floated Eddie Izard, which I didn't know if that was real either. And then was it somebody before that? It was Eddie Izzard then. [00:08:14] Speaker C: Yeah, it's just Eddie Izzard and Larry the cable guy. Eddie Izzard. Eddie Izzard was real. I was really recommending that one. I. I really like that special. But the second one, Larry the cable guy, I didn't think you. That was a joke, but I'm glad you went for it. [00:08:27] Speaker A: No, I was ex. You know what? Because I. This is someone I don't think I've ever sat through. [00:08:31] Speaker B: No. [00:08:32] Speaker A: Have you sat through Larry's act? [00:08:33] Speaker B: No, I sat through, you know, like, Foxworthy was kind of their. Their group leader. So I know I liked Foxworthy. I played one of his CDs one time and I was like, oh, yeah, because obviously there's a. There's a stereotype of Americans out there that foreigners like me recognize. I always tell people, basically, foreigners recognize. Three. Basically three sorts of American. No, four Americans. Right. There's the New York, like. Yeah. You know, like, would be an example, you know, like, Pesci type. [00:09:07] Speaker A: She's not a comedian. Who are you talking about? [00:09:10] Speaker B: No, I'm talking about. [00:09:11] Speaker A: These are archetypes of people. [00:09:12] Speaker B: Archetypes of people. [00:09:13] Speaker A: Comedians. [00:09:14] Speaker B: So, you know, you've got your New York, New York, New Jersey. Like, yeah, wise cracker. Then you've got the, like, whoa, surfer dude, west coast hippie. Then you've got your Southern inbred, shit kicker. And then, like. And then there's the Midwest, like, oh, that's like a normal Yank, like a midway. Okay. That's sort of someone who isn't, like, off on one on some weird, like, thing. That's. That's your arc. So they're the four basic American food groups, group types that any foreigner will be like, yes, I understand that. [00:09:52] Speaker A: I noticed you excluded the Native American, the American Indian. Is that not part of the four food groups? The original American? No. Yeah. I don't know. Did he leave anybody out there? Christian's an American. [00:10:10] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm an American. I've met them all. [00:10:12] Speaker A: I'm guessing. [00:10:13] Speaker C: I think you summed it up. I think those are the four kinds I ever met. [00:10:18] Speaker A: What about the cowboy? That's a shit kicker. That's a shit kicker. I mean, you would. You're. You're more of an authority on America than us, you know, with your. Your foreign eyes. [00:10:30] Speaker B: Yeah. So anyway, Larry. Larry the Cable Guy. But, you know, Foxworthy. Is that. [00:10:36] Speaker A: So you like that? You like these stereotype characters? [00:10:41] Speaker B: I was never. I was always fascinated by America. And then my dad was the one that really liked Southern. Well, my dad was a funny sort because he hated America, but he loved, like, country and western music, and he really did like parts of America, even though he wouldn't mention. So, like, I grew up just country and western being played all the time, which is kind of typical dad behavior in England. [00:11:09] Speaker A: They don't have that. Such. Such a thing as that in England. Country western of any kind. Is there a British country in western? That wouldn't make sense, right? [00:11:18] Speaker B: I mean there's like, there's. There's like rural yokel music, but it's. It's very ridiculously, you know, it's like some guy dressed in like a farmer's outfit with a. With a. What do you call it? You know, accordion singing stupid shit. Like it's not. I don't. It's not like. [00:11:38] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it's very unique to America. So. Okay, so you have an affinity coming in for. As you called them, what did you call them? The kicker. Yeah, shit kicker. American. Sure. What that means, but. Okay, well. [00:11:52] Speaker B: Okay, you don't know what a kicker is? [00:11:54] Speaker A: Well, kicker is. No. What does that mean? I've heard the term kicker. [00:12:02] Speaker B: I picked it up. So that isn't a weird aside. I used to watch. You remember when they used to make movies that were just series of sketches and they just stitch them together like Kentucky Fried Movie is one of the best films comedies. [00:12:16] Speaker A: History of the World part. [00:12:18] Speaker B: There's Amazon Women on the moon is a good example. [00:12:20] Speaker A: Gods must be crazy. [00:12:22] Speaker B: That's not sketch thing, is it? Anyway, and I. I found this one late night one time and this guy in it is like. You just wait a minute, you dumb kicker. And the guy's like, you call me a kicker? And he goes, yeah. And he goes, oh yeah, that's why I've got pointed boots. Because he's a country guy. Anyway, no, this is. I'll cut this out. Don't even bother. I'm cutting this out. [00:12:47] Speaker A: Okay, whatever. But the term is meant for kicking off your boots or something. [00:12:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I suppose. [00:12:53] Speaker A: Okay. [00:12:54] Speaker C: They call boots kickers. [00:12:56] Speaker A: Kickers? [00:12:56] Speaker C: Yeah, you know, like that takes. [00:12:58] Speaker A: Out of the way. Yeah. [00:12:58] Speaker C: Cuz you got to kick when you're walking along the. [00:13:00] Speaker A: That's why they're pointing prairies. [00:13:01] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. To deflect the. Either direction. [00:13:04] Speaker A: Wow. This is an informative program, right? People learning things here every week. [00:13:11] Speaker B: Learning anything. [00:13:12] Speaker A: We learned what a limey means on this program with shit kickers. You're. Yeah. [00:13:17] Speaker B: Any sort of racial slur, you're gonna learn about it. [00:13:20] Speaker A: Not for me. [00:13:21] Speaker B: Right here. [00:13:22] Speaker A: Not from you. You know them all. Maybe next week we'll get out the viz, go through some of those. Good. All right, so Larry the Cable guy is one of the. What do they call these guys? The. Do they call them the rednecks of comedy? You know, like they call black fellas The. The kings. Kings of comedy. [00:13:42] Speaker B: I think it was the redneck comedy tour, right? [00:13:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:46] Speaker B: Was him Ron White and Foxworthy? [00:13:49] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Is there somebody else too? I don't know. Looking at Christian, he didn't seem up on this genre very well. Okay, so I'd never seen Larry. Let's talk about the name Larry the cable guy. I'm sure everybody knows this but me, but I assume this man, he worked for the cable company at one point or did he lay cable like a wichita lineman? [00:14:14] Speaker B: No, I think, I think I remember him saying one time he just started. He was. There's footage of him as a regular stand up comedian in a like 80s. You know, sports co. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. [00:14:27] Speaker A: Doing Seinfeld. [00:14:27] Speaker B: Yeah, Just doing regular stuff. And then I think one day he was goofing around or something and you know, people like, oh, that's the gold. And so he developed it. [00:14:38] Speaker A: What's the gold? [00:14:39] Speaker B: You know, the dumbass, you know, guy with the torn off sleeves and all that stuff. [00:14:45] Speaker A: So that you're saying he's not this shit kicker. He's. No, he's a New York type. [00:14:50] Speaker B: No, I looked, I thought. Did you notice in the. During his special a couple of times he dropped the accent? [00:14:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I did notice that. [00:15:00] Speaker B: You're not just saying that? [00:15:01] Speaker A: No, I did, I did. [00:15:03] Speaker B: Right at the end. And he thanks the audience. He's like, there's no trace of it and stuff. So I looked him up. He is from Oklahoma, slash Florida, which that's not going to give you that. I don't know much about Oklahoma. I also. It was a weird place. Like is. What is that of the four American groups? [00:15:27] Speaker A: No, that's kicker for sure. I mean, it's right just above Texas. It's clearly in the south, well below the Mason Dixon line. [00:15:37] Speaker B: Very little is known about Oklahoma. I feel. [00:15:42] Speaker A: Well, he should really do research about. [00:15:45] Speaker B: I knew two Oklahoma. They weren't shit kickers. They were just. [00:15:49] Speaker A: Who? Timothy McVeigh. [00:15:52] Speaker B: There's just two lads that were in the large cast and they weren't, you. [00:15:56] Speaker A: Know, the Jury brothers. [00:15:59] Speaker B: No, they're from Denver. No, they were just. They would. You would. I would call them Midwestern Okies is. [00:16:05] Speaker A: What we used to call those guys. Okies from Oklahoma. [00:16:09] Speaker B: All right. [00:16:10] Speaker A: Used to say on the Oklahoma license plate, Oklahoma is okay. And then they thought, geez, this is a real. [00:16:16] Speaker B: Like, it's clever. [00:16:17] Speaker A: Yeah. No, they thought it was, you know, belittling or like you're just generic as could be. [00:16:23] Speaker B: Just. Okay. [00:16:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:25] Speaker B: All right. [00:16:25] Speaker A: Okay. Okay then. So we don't know whether he actually worked for the cable company, but do we know where this term get or done came from or what it means get her done. The whole backdrop of the show says dangling. [00:16:46] Speaker B: Yeah. He had a hat on and sign dangling. And people. People were shouting it at him. And he. I feel like he. He's probably tired of it because he seemed to want to get it out. He didn't do much. [00:16:57] Speaker A: Get her done. [00:16:58] Speaker B: No, he just did it at the top. He's like, let's get this out of the way. And then like, okay, I've done my duty. Right. [00:17:05] Speaker A: So fun to say though, but have it. [00:17:07] Speaker B: To have it hanging on a sign. That's the strong branding statement. [00:17:11] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And. And he's on tour, right? He's like, I was in Minneapolis last night, big gear done. You think some asshole's got to come and lift that big get her done sign down, like carry. How do they transport that from city to city? That's big, right? Is there. That would take an 18 wheeler. No, it wasn't down. [00:17:31] Speaker B: Big list. [00:17:31] Speaker A: It folds. [00:17:32] Speaker B: I think you get that in the back of flatbed. [00:17:38] Speaker A: No, no, that thing was. [00:17:42] Speaker B: Signs that. Signs aren't as big as you think they are. [00:17:46] Speaker A: What the hell? Signs aren't as big as I think they are. [00:17:49] Speaker B: They're not. Once you. If you actually get next to a backdrop, piece of equipment or whatever, you're like, oh, it's not as big as I thought it was gonna be. [00:18:00] Speaker A: Okay. [00:18:01] Speaker B: That get all done. I bet you you could get it in a moving truck. [00:18:04] Speaker A: It's not get r done. All right. It's get her done. [00:18:07] Speaker B: Yeah, get her really, really stuck with you, didn't it? [00:18:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I've been saying it ever since last night. All right, so you watched this this morning. How did it go in the Friday morning viewing of Larry the cable guys Remain seated. [00:18:23] Speaker B: Well, I was kind of annoyed about having to do it, obviously. [00:18:26] Speaker A: Well, you're in a bad mood. [00:18:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I got my morning laid out and all of a sudden I'm on shit patrol. [00:18:32] Speaker A: Well, you knew we were watching last night. Why don't you stay up last night with us and watch it? [00:18:36] Speaker B: No, I have to go to sleep. [00:18:37] Speaker A: At what time do you turn in? [00:18:39] Speaker B: I Turn in around 9:30. Half an hour of reading. [00:18:43] Speaker A: What are you reading? [00:18:44] Speaker B: Lights out. [00:18:45] Speaker A: What's on the bed? [00:18:46] Speaker B: Short stories of Truman Capote. [00:18:49] Speaker A: No shit. [00:18:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:50] Speaker A: No, he had short stories. [00:18:53] Speaker B: Yeah, his whole bag. [00:18:55] Speaker A: Was he a magazine writer? [00:18:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, they're really good. So I always read them every few Years. [00:19:03] Speaker A: What are you reading? Thank you. I was waiting. Nobody asks you what you're reading unless they want you to ask them. [00:19:10] Speaker B: All right, so what are you reading? [00:19:11] Speaker A: Well, right now I happen to be reading Don DeLillo endzone from 1978. [00:19:18] Speaker B: About American football. [00:19:20] Speaker A: About American football. College. On chapter three, fiction or non? Fiction. That is fiction. Don DeLillo, you might be familiar with the book Libra about the Lee Harvey Oswald, or White Noise, which was just a motion picture starring Adam Driver and Don Cheadle and Greta Gerwig last year. Okay, moving on. What do you think about the title Remains? You go ahead and remain seated. Remain seated meaning, like. [00:19:53] Speaker B: Yeah, but what is that? [00:19:55] Speaker A: I mean, get it. You don't get it. [00:19:56] Speaker B: Well, he did it at the start, didn't he? They got, they, they gave him a standing ovation when he came out and he said, remain seated. Don't. [00:20:04] Speaker A: No, they didn't give him one thing. Remain seated. You don't say remain seated to somebody that's standing. [00:20:12] Speaker B: Yeah, you do say sit back down. [00:20:15] Speaker A: You say, will you help me out here? [00:20:18] Speaker C: I saw some people standing up in the beginning. [00:20:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:20] Speaker C: And that's when he used the remain seating thing. And as far as I could understand, it was around the same time he was talking about his age. So I think he was telling his fan base, like, I get it, you can't stand up out of your chair anymore because you're as old as I am. [00:20:32] Speaker A: Remain seated means you're already seated. Right? Remain seated. [00:20:36] Speaker B: Whatevs. They stood up. The camera panned. There's people standing, giving an ovation. He says something like, don't rush the stage. Remain standing. [00:20:45] Speaker A: You're. You're thinking, remain standing. [00:20:48] Speaker B: All right, well, they were standing. [00:20:51] Speaker A: I didn't think of it as a, as a jab at his older audience. I took it as a self deprecating title. Like, people don't stand up for me because I'm not very good. Just remain seated. Remain seated, probably. [00:21:03] Speaker B: I mean, he started off with sitting down. He was self deprecating from the get go. [00:21:10] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. [00:21:12] Speaker B: I mean, that's my first note on him. [00:21:15] Speaker A: Yeah, it look, you got to look good at that. That. Yeah. What's going on at Cracker Barrel? You guys are out here. I don't know. Who's a Cracker Barrel? Oh, this is a wedding. And the father and the daughter went home together. I'm really trying to work that out. Can you do a Larry the Cable Guy voice? [00:21:34] Speaker B: No, because you're doing it wrong. Because he's squeaky and He. Well, he does. He drops into it occasionally, but mostly he's got. [00:21:42] Speaker A: He's a higher pitch. [00:21:43] Speaker B: Irritating high pitched squeak. Oh, that's what I feel. You can't skate past the fact that it's in Joliet, which was. Yeah, that was weird. Like to tape there. [00:21:53] Speaker A: It's like, all right, let's just tape it tonight. Where are we? Joliet. Like why Joliet? [00:21:58] Speaker B: It's the same theater. I last saw Richard Jenny before he offed himself. [00:22:05] Speaker A: Richard Jenny offed himself. [00:22:08] Speaker B: You know damn well he did. I did not about this. [00:22:11] Speaker A: I don't. I don't remember that. I mean, remember I was talking about Richard Jenny, but I don't remember him. [00:22:17] Speaker B: Offing himself years ago. [00:22:18] Speaker A: I don't think think so. I don't think that's true. Roll the tape back. Pull that tape. [00:22:26] Speaker C: I don't have that footage. [00:22:28] Speaker B: He. [00:22:29] Speaker A: How did he off himself? [00:22:32] Speaker B: Shotgun to the head. His misses found him. His misses found him. He. I think he was still alive and then he died shortly afterwards. Quite tragic for someone who's very, very good at comedy. [00:22:46] Speaker A: Wow. [00:22:47] Speaker C: Speaking of looking things up, Larry the Cable Guy, there's a character that he created based on his uncle, I guess. [00:22:53] Speaker A: So he's not even a cable guy. [00:22:55] Speaker B: No. [00:22:55] Speaker A: That's some. You can't call yourself Larry the Cable Guy unless you were a cable guy. Right. [00:23:04] Speaker B: It's just a character. That's what he always says. But anyway. Yeah, that's the thing. Anyway, Joliet, weird choice for a kicker comedian to record. Essentially Heart of the Midwest. Well, although it is a shit kicker part of the Midwest. [00:23:19] Speaker A: Yeah. That's big trump country down there. Juliet, he's playing to his base. [00:23:25] Speaker B: Joliet's like known throughout the world because of Blues Brothers. [00:23:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:32] Speaker B: So I. I knew of Joliet. I knew. I knew of Aurora because of Wayne's World. It's funny to think you know these towns unknown. [00:23:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. I've never spent much time in Juliet. [00:23:47] Speaker B: There's nothing. [00:23:48] Speaker A: There is a big present Super Max there. [00:23:50] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:23:52] Speaker A: Yeah. That was an odd choice to me too, that he would be in Juliet. But you know, I guess it doesn't. He must have. He must have hit a winner in that one. And he said, well, let's just use this one. [00:24:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:02] Speaker A: I don't know how these stand ups decide where and when are they splicing together multiple shows to make 1:1 special. Right. I know that some do that. Right. Like they'll. They'll record it in the same outfit. [00:24:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:19] Speaker A: Maybe with the same Backdrop. Because you don't see the audience necessarily. Right. Like, so in case you want to, like, put the best of each one. [00:24:26] Speaker B: No, you would easily tell the difference between. Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:24:30] Speaker A: But not if it's zoomed in. [00:24:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I was gonna say if they did close shots, but it's like, you know, I had an agent, a manager or agent this week. Ask me. Have you recorded at the Lincoln Lodge yet? Yeah, we've had a few. [00:24:47] Speaker A: Who? [00:24:48] Speaker B: Well, mostly local yokels, but, I mean, there is one that's on, like, Amazon prime by Dina Hashem, for instance. So I just sent a link and said, here's what it looks like if you record it. [00:25:00] Speaker A: Here's what it look. Oh. Oh, you're talking about. Yeah, I was seeing audio, but yes. Yeah. [00:25:04] Speaker B: No, no, The Full Monty. You know, all the cameras and bollocks. [00:25:08] Speaker A: I had somebody reach out today that wants to record here. You might know. [00:25:12] Speaker B: Come on. [00:25:12] Speaker A: Brian Petrovka. Are you familiar with Brian Petrovka? [00:25:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:17] Speaker A: We'd like to film a special here. [00:25:20] Speaker B: I'll be producing it, unprompted by you, of course. [00:25:25] Speaker A: Hey. All right. So we haven't even really gotten into this. Okay. [00:25:30] Speaker B: How many minutes are we at? [00:25:31] Speaker C: We're at about 25. [00:25:33] Speaker A: This is. This is a big show. [00:25:35] Speaker B: All right. [00:25:36] Speaker A: Super bowl special. I'm not liking him at first, you know, I don't want to hear about Cracker Barrel and ancestral weddings and waking up with the sweats. Oh, that wasn't a bad joke, right? How he says, gonna work out. But I woke up with a sweat, so I guess that count. Get her, dad. Gum. Woke up sweating. [00:26:01] Speaker B: He came out firing. [00:26:03] Speaker A: He did. See, I thought it was. Wasn't very good talking about his clothes and the weather. [00:26:08] Speaker B: He did want a good one. He got the keys to the city. But then the following week, they changed all the locks. [00:26:14] Speaker A: These are. These are terrible jokes. [00:26:16] Speaker B: No, I'm just saying it. It was serviceable. [00:26:21] Speaker A: Okay, how about where he says, got emotional support. I got rid of the emotional support stripper. Yeah. [00:26:29] Speaker B: That's pondering. [00:26:31] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm doing kind of a sling blade. I realize when I. Yeah. When I do. But then he starts to heat up, right. And he's. I'm not feeling him. Christian, I don't know where you're at in the first 10 minutes. What are you feeling? I. Liking it. [00:26:47] Speaker C: I actually had. He had that one joke about. Sorry. How I'm dressed. It just came from a wedding, and I thought that was kind of clever. I was like, oh, wow. Maybe. Maybe I'm Wrong. Maybe this guy is something like. Maybe he has like snuck in these really good jokes into this stupid act. But then he followed that with the support strippers joke and I realized, no, I was right. This is just how it's going to be for the next 55 minutes. [00:27:12] Speaker A: Yes, yes, yes. Just one off that aren't really connected. [00:27:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:16] Speaker A: He starts to. Then he, I think he comes out a little loose. You like it, but I don't like it. [00:27:22] Speaker B: I'm just saying it's serviceable as a comedy form. [00:27:28] Speaker A: Have you laughed at this point in the first 10 minutes out loud? [00:27:31] Speaker B: Not really. He did a good joke. He is. I got to go to the supermarket to get some of those feminine products. And then he goes, carrots, celery and lettuce. That's pretty good. [00:27:41] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that was good. [00:27:42] Speaker B: I snagged on that one. I was like, oh, you know, that's a good take. [00:27:46] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I like. [00:27:50] Speaker B: No, I'm not liking it. [00:27:51] Speaker A: Yeah. And I'm not liking it either. Yeah, right. You talked about cabbage versus lettuce. I thought that was good. Right? [00:27:57] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:27:57] Speaker A: Cabbage and lettuce, they look alike. [00:27:59] Speaker B: Yep. [00:28:00] Speaker A: Good. Observational. He's, he's, he's got some Seinfeld is, is observational comedy. [00:28:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:06] Speaker A: You know, then you get the Fitbit. You got a Fitbit for Christmas and a dialed 911. Yeah. Okay. Not feeling that one. But then he gets into the, the meat and potatoes of the act. Walmart. Right? [00:28:19] Speaker B: Yeah, he's dwelled on that. [00:28:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:23] Speaker B: Which is weird. I put. It's weird to make fun of your own demographic. [00:28:28] Speaker A: No, they want it. They want it. Yeah. It's like black comedians making fun of black people. Well, white people. But do white comedians make fun of white? Like, I don't know, like, I, I think it'd be funny for a comedian, a white comedian to go up and just do all white humor. Like white people are unbelievable how white people do that. No, I think that's, that's. They do that on brand. They do. Yeah, but they don't say white people. [00:28:56] Speaker B: No, no, they do. Let's say white folks do this. Or it's an attempt to diffuse. [00:29:02] Speaker A: Black folks. Say white folks. White people don't say white folks. [00:29:08] Speaker B: Well, they say white folks. They say, oh, I do this because I'm a white person. You know what I mean? Like the whole self deprecating. But yeah, that Walmart bit, my God, did it go on. I mean, and it was just a crappy excuse for like, for, you know, working class White people are shit type thing. Right. [00:29:26] Speaker A: Well, I mean, he's finding things one after the other that all these people in the audience, any blue collar person can relate to. Going to Walmart. [00:29:34] Speaker B: Right, yeah. [00:29:36] Speaker A: Being fat. [00:29:37] Speaker B: You see, I really tired of the fat. The fat bit. Like, God, early on. [00:29:46] Speaker A: Go top five fat comedians of all time. [00:29:49] Speaker B: Go Fat comedians. [00:29:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:53] Speaker B: I can't do it straight off. [00:29:55] Speaker A: Louie Anderson. Go. [00:29:57] Speaker C: Louie Tree o'. [00:29:58] Speaker B: Neill. [00:29:59] Speaker A: He's fat. That fat. Yeah. He was big. [00:30:01] Speaker B: He was a big lad. Yeah. No, because I'm going to tell an English one and you're not going to know. [00:30:06] Speaker A: Buddy Hackett. I don't know who that is. No, we're in America. [00:30:12] Speaker B: A fat Yank. [00:30:13] Speaker A: Yeah. Fat Yank. John Panette. Gabriel Iglesias. Fat. Delta Burke. [00:30:22] Speaker C: Are you saying top? [00:30:24] Speaker B: What? [00:30:25] Speaker C: Like top popular or top as in talent? [00:30:27] Speaker A: As we're going through this and he's doing more and more fat jokes, I'm realizing, oh, this. He's one of our great fat comedians. Stand up comedians. [00:30:36] Speaker B: It just. I got really tired of that angle. [00:30:40] Speaker A: Really. [00:30:40] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And I'm, I am personally quite. Because I'm English, I'm quite hard on. [00:30:47] Speaker A: Fat people because there aren't a lot of fat people. [00:30:54] Speaker B: No, not so many in England, though. There are now. But it used to just be. [00:31:00] Speaker A: A. [00:31:00] Speaker B: Cheap, you know, if you were even. And you're talking about people who aren't even remotely American size. You know what I mean? [00:31:08] Speaker A: Like, there's fat and then there's American. [00:31:12] Speaker B: We had a mate, uni. We called him Fatty. And he wasn't really. He was maybe slightly overweight, but we said we called him Fatty because he had a fat attitude. [00:31:23] Speaker A: Well, that doesn't make sense. And so what does a fat attitude mean? [00:31:27] Speaker B: Just like he would never, never play sports. He was just lazy. Yeah. And so we, we, we gave him the nickname Fatty. And it really used to, like, confuse people because they'd come in the room and we'd be like, hey, Fatty. And then be looking around going, where's the fat guy? And we'd be like, no, it's him. He just has a fat. A fatitude, as it were. [00:31:49] Speaker A: Kind of like calling a big tall guy tiny. [00:31:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I didn't. I had a mate who was 6 foot 3. We called him Lofty. No, that's. That's the same though. Is it? So. No, that's wrong. [00:32:00] Speaker A: Well, I'm not one for fat humor necessarily either, but he does have one joke in here that kills me. Like, here, see that, that commercial with the starving kids in Africa. Feed this child for 8 cents a day. That was good, right? He's like, 8 cents a day. I'm I for 250. 250 a day. [00:32:25] Speaker C: He says, you can't feed a gerbil for 8 cents a day. [00:32:27] Speaker A: Right, right, right. You can't. [00:32:30] Speaker B: You know, that's weird. [00:32:31] Speaker A: That was good. [00:32:32] Speaker B: I was told he was, like, very, you know, he was. He's not. He's reviled in the, you know, alt community as being someone who was made racist, homophobic, whatever jokes, but he didn't really. Yeah, I was waiting for him to. To go down that hole. Never really did. I'm wondering if that's because of Netflix, though. Oh, like, this is. Netflix bankrolled this. They are not going to be happy if I pull my usual shit. So he did it a couple of times. He called a pajama sissy boy. I noted. And how about. [00:33:07] Speaker A: How about the one where he's like, my buddy opened up a health store trying to help mount, so I dressed up as a trans fat. Get her done. And then they fucking went crazy, the people. [00:33:18] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:33:19] Speaker A: You notice when they go crazy when he throws any kind of, like, Barb out there at a homosexual or something? [00:33:24] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. And he was probably. I think he was having to rein it in because. Okay, this Netflix. [00:33:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:30] Speaker B: Because I kept expecting. I've seen him do a joke one time where they had a spotlight and he had two shadows on the wall, like, behind him, and he goes. I keep thinking it's two black guys creeping up on me. This is what he said on. Yeah. And I'm like, okay. [00:33:47] Speaker A: Doesn't play. [00:33:48] Speaker B: And I'm like, okay. Well, you know, he knows his demographic and he knows they're gonna eat that. [00:33:53] Speaker A: They love that. [00:33:54] Speaker B: But he. Yeah, this was very tame. [00:33:57] Speaker A: And then he mentioned Caitlyn Jenner. [00:33:59] Speaker B: Yeah. And then. Yeah, the General. [00:34:00] Speaker A: You got a big whoop for that one. [00:34:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:04] Speaker A: Okay. What was your favorite joke of his at any point in the show? [00:34:08] Speaker B: Probably the feminine products one that I really. [00:34:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Christian was your favorite joke. [00:34:13] Speaker C: The one right up front. I like the misdirection of the. Sorry. How I'm dressed. And you don't expect him to say he came from somewhere even classier. [00:34:20] Speaker A: You know, that only tells me you did not watch this whole program. You're right. [00:34:24] Speaker C: I fell asleep. Yeah. And you know what? I fell asleep twice. And the first time, I woke back up to an applause break and I rewound it to see what I had missed. And when I. When I realized what I had missed that they were they were applauding for. I said, next time, I'm not waking back up. [00:34:39] Speaker A: That's great. That's hilarious. [00:34:42] Speaker B: How many jokes did he do about shitting and the toilet? Oh, my God. [00:34:48] Speaker A: I don't know. I remember the one where his uncle or somebody's ball got sucked down. [00:34:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Just any time he felt the pace slackening, he's like, let's get back to the toilet butter. [00:35:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:35:05] Speaker A: Well, any good comedian goes right back to potty humor. You can appreciate that. My favorite joke, I think. Well, the first one I really laughed out loud was first of many. He's talking about another wedding, Right. He did that wedding bit at the top. And then he goes, talks about another wedding. Like, here you're a ghetto invited to a wedding. You don't even really know the person. He like, feels like a bill in the mail. I thought it was funny. They goes, I went to this wedding, the fat woman, and all the bridesmaids were fat. And their corsages look like personal pan pizzas. That was fucking great. [00:35:43] Speaker B: Well, I mean, what is that? What is that? Doesn't even make sense. [00:35:46] Speaker A: That does. They're so fat or. I don't know. Because they're gonna eat the corsage. It's. It's a personal pizza instead of a flour. You know, like a. It's a small pizza. [00:35:55] Speaker B: Is it? Oh, okay. No. He did do a good Halloween bit where he talked about going out Halloween with his kids. And there are people dressed as him. Halloweening. And then. Yeah, the guy's like, hey, is Larry the cable guy at the door? And the guy. He sucks. Yeah. I mean, that was good. That was like a bit of. That was like talking about shitting and the usual bullshit anymore. Now I'm getting into it. And then he ended. He ended with that thing about cars and stuff, and I was interested in that. [00:36:30] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, How? He's the guy from cars. Did you know he was mater from Cars? [00:36:34] Speaker B: I've never watched that film because I'm not a child. I don't have children. [00:36:39] Speaker A: No, I get. I guess you wouldn't if you weren't. [00:36:44] Speaker B: You must be over the watching child movies phase by now, right? [00:36:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:36:50] Speaker B: How do you leave that behind as a parent? Like, all of a sudden you're watching children's films, which you haven't seen in decades. Now you're watching them like, every 10 goddamn minutes, and then it suddenly stops. [00:37:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Let's say this is not that abrupt, but none of those films I really ever saw. I only saw the first 10 minutes. Because when you're a parent of young children and those movies go on, that is your time to fucking knock out, Right? So as soon as that movie goes on, your kids watch the movie, you're going to sleep immediately. So. I never saw any of them. I mean, I saw the first 10 minutes. I know about them, but I never made it through a single. [00:37:28] Speaker B: Didn't they make you sit through them and discuss? [00:37:30] Speaker A: Yeah, sit. Yeah. But I would always nod off, you know? Yeah, take an ox. [00:37:36] Speaker B: Because that's like a parent. That's like a parent cliche. Like, oh, I've got. I had to watch Scooby Doo 87 times. [00:37:45] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:37:51] Speaker B: But, yeah, you. You were just an absent parent. [00:37:53] Speaker A: No, I was there. I was there, but I was sleeping. I didn't. You know, all you gotta do is be there. You have to watch it. They're not watching you watch it. It's not like when you go to the. The pictures with your old lady and she's looking over at you to see if you're enjoying it, if you're asleep. Yeah, they don't care. [00:38:08] Speaker B: I suppose. Modern times, you could just have your phone with your shitty Celtics game playing and you just eyeing that and pretending. [00:38:16] Speaker A: Celtics. [00:38:17] Speaker B: Yeah, eyeing that and pretending to. To. [00:38:21] Speaker A: Yeah, you could. You could. Well, listen, we could go over more. He had a lot of bits. [00:38:34] Speaker B: What? [00:38:35] Speaker A: Hey, Christian, when you texted this the other. I didn't ask you. I meant to. You said, hey, watch. Watch Larry the Cable Guy get ready for 16 jokes. [00:38:43] Speaker C: Yeah, I thought he's just gonna make 1-6-jokes the whole time. [00:38:46] Speaker A: Oh, January, yes. [00:38:48] Speaker C: That's what I was expecting. [00:38:49] Speaker A: Oh, he didn't make a single one that I heard. Well, you didn't hear. [00:38:53] Speaker C: Probably doesn't want people to figure out that he was there. [00:38:55] Speaker A: He was. [00:38:56] Speaker B: Well, most of his fans might have been. Oh, yeah, I didn't get once I thought like 1 6. [00:39:02] Speaker A: 1 6. I thought it's like 1. It's like some kind of 1 meter for comedy. [00:39:05] Speaker C: Yeah, I thought that might be confusing. [00:39:07] Speaker A: Yeah, it was like 1-6-meter. I'm out of it. I don't know what that means. [00:39:10] Speaker B: I thought. I thought you meant one in six jokes would. Would be any good. [00:39:16] Speaker C: Yeah, even that. Even that was an overestimation. [00:39:19] Speaker A: Or would have been six. [00:39:22] Speaker B: I do. Don't you wonder when you see someone with an act like this, how they remember it all? I mean, this. [00:39:31] Speaker A: Are you serious? Yeah, about, like, people who would watch people do comedy. Like, how do you remember all the joke? Right. Like where do you get your jokes from? No, but I, I agree with you. I. Yeah, how do you remember? [00:39:45] Speaker B: Because most modern comedians a stretching one bit paper thin over 5 to 10 minutes. [00:39:52] Speaker A: Bad comedians are. [00:39:54] Speaker B: No, I think most, most modern comedians are stretching over five to ten minute bits. So it's, it's maybe five or six big chunks is one special and that is easy to remember because you're remembering six to blah blah blah. When you're doing what Larry the Cable Guy is doing, which is just like boom, bada bing, bada boom, bada bing, bada boom. How the hell do you remember them all? [00:40:21] Speaker A: Because. Well, I'll explain to you because I'm a comedian and done many shows, you, you're right, you create chunks and you live within those chunks, right. Each chunk is its own set, if you will. Right. And once you get, once you walk into that room where that chunk is, you know, you looking around the room, you're visualizing around the room, all the jokes that are in that room and you just kind of grab them off the wall. And then when you can't find any more of them, right. Or you've, you know, then you walk out of that room, you go to the next room and you, and you do the next jokes that are in that room until you get to the end. It's like walking through a house. Boom. And then you're at the end. [00:41:05] Speaker B: What about I just gave a genius? [00:41:07] Speaker A: Well, he's a. That's different. Yeah, he's got. Must have a different mnemonic for remembering his. Because they're not chunks or maybe they are chunked in some way, but like it's mnemonics, memory devices that help you remember these things. Everybody's got a different process. But yeah, that's why I think especially early on when we watch these sets, you see guys that are kind of seem, their jokes seem disjointed and they're going to, they're not connected because they're still feeling their way around the house, right? Like where they are. And then they're like, once they get their bearings and they're. I'm in this room now, I know all the jokes in this room. Boom. And then you remember as many as you can in whatever order. Then you go to the next one and some rooms are great, some rooms suck, whatever. But save your best room for last. You want me to do a seminar here at the Lincoln Lodge Comedy Comedy College? [00:41:56] Speaker B: Did you read this in the Judy Carter book? [00:41:59] Speaker A: No, I don't know who that is. [00:42:02] Speaker B: That's the definitive book about comedy. Yeah. [00:42:05] Speaker A: No, I never took any comedy classes. [00:42:09] Speaker B: Well, I mean, that much is obvious, but where did you get this room? [00:42:15] Speaker A: I just made it up right here. I just made it up on the spot. No, but you know what? I've in watching this tripe every week. [00:42:25] Speaker B: You presented it, like, as a. I know creed. [00:42:28] Speaker A: I know I'm not convincing. No, I just made that up off the top of my head. No, but as we've been watching these specials every week, I start to block. I told you at the beginning, your notes are terrible. [00:42:43] Speaker B: Mine are only on this. Normally. [00:42:46] Speaker A: I've got a system here. I've got a flowchart. And once you're done, you can see where everything was and went and how connected to the last thing. If they're good. Right. And what I want to say is. And I don't, you know where we're at in this program, but I like Larry the Cable Guy. I'm just going to say that I like him. I like his act. He made me laugh. It was a little long in the tooth. I don't think it needed to be over an hour. But yeah, at one point, I think the funniest thing was I wrote down. It was 27 minutes or something. Oh, yeah, 27 minutes in, he says good night. And I'm like, oh, my God, it's over. [00:43:26] Speaker B: Yeah, right. [00:43:27] Speaker A: Like, that was. And I was ready. I was like, that was awesome. And then I was like, oh. And I hit the pause button or whatever, so you can see it was like 40 minutes left. I was like, oh, Jesus, this isn't even close. [00:43:38] Speaker B: He did that twice, but he did it both times on a, quote, offensive joke. [00:43:43] Speaker A: He did. That's how he. [00:43:44] Speaker B: That was like. He got. I think the first one was like the trans joke or something. And he. He clearly knew, okay, this is as far as. As far as I'm going to be able to push this with Netflix. And he said that, but then carried on. But if you. If you go back and look, he did it twice. And it was very clearly on things where you'd be like, oh, you know. [00:44:09] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I didn't remember the second one. I know the second one came later, you know, three quarters of the way through. But it made me think like these. And we. I think we talked about this before. These fucking specials are too long. [00:44:23] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:44:25] Speaker A: Right. When we were growing up, not you maybe, but you and I, this, The comedy special was a half hour special. [00:44:31] Speaker B: Yep. [00:44:32] Speaker A: Probably 26 minutes. When you. [00:44:34] Speaker B: Oh, my God, the amount of emails we Get. I want to run my hour. Hour? You don't have a fucking hour. [00:44:42] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, right. [00:44:45] Speaker B: People literally have comedians now. Have us. I want to run my hour. [00:44:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:51] Speaker B: Now why don't you run your 10 goddamn minutes? [00:44:54] Speaker A: They want to stretch out, you know, they want to go into all the rooms that I talked about. Right. I told you when I was running the. The four Trace comedy show not too long ago, Pandemic shut it down. But Sarah Sherman wanted to come over and do her hour. She had an hour. She felt like she was very interested in doing an hour. I was more than willing to let her do it. [00:45:17] Speaker B: And that was, like, one joke for Sarah. [00:45:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:22] Speaker B: She was so good at, like, the relentlessness of, like, relentlessly pushing it, which you would love, of course. [00:45:29] Speaker A: Yeah, No, I think she is my favorite on Saturday night. She's so great. Yeah, These are too. These specials are too long. [00:45:36] Speaker B: Yep. [00:45:37] Speaker A: There was the old half hour comedy hour on hbo. Yeah, that's plenty. All right, so I'm gonna go through many more of this guy's jokes. I liked his doctors Mercedes Benz joke where he said, my buddy doesn't like that his doctor has a Mercedes Benz. So what's wrong with you? [00:45:56] Speaker B: She's better than us. [00:45:56] Speaker A: Yeah, he thinks he's better than us. He is better than you. He's a doctor. What do you want me to Drive? A 78 Plymouth? That was good. I liked. He had a lot of jokes, a lot of good references. Oak Ridge Boys. There's a lot of good stuff in there. I'm giving him big toes up. [00:46:16] Speaker B: No, I. Right, so here's what I'll say. It was a bomb. Why? Because of length. Like, he. I could. If I went through that and did. Okay, let me hack out the bits that I like, I could maybe get a tight ten out of it. And I'll be like, if you just did the 10, I'd give you a thumbs up. [00:46:41] Speaker A: 10 minutes. [00:46:41] Speaker B: Yeah, but if you. But you did 70 minutes, that's an hour too long. So it's a thumbs down. [00:46:49] Speaker A: So. But because you're saying the jokes weren't quality enough to keep going. [00:46:54] Speaker B: I'm fat. I'm fat. I took a shit. I'm fat. I'm fat. I shit. I'm fat. I'm. All right, whatever. [00:47:01] Speaker A: Part of the reason these specials are so long, I think, is because these people pay a lot of money to go to a big theater. They're not going to see Larry for 10 minutes or a half hour. They got to get an hour. [00:47:12] Speaker B: You could edit it yeah, yeah. Just because the live show is that long doesn't mean the. The edit has to be. [00:47:20] Speaker A: Who's the longest working comedian right now? Obviously it's not Bill Cosby. He's no longer working. [00:47:26] Speaker B: I don't think what you mean working. [00:47:28] Speaker A: What I mean is who's. Who's doing the longest sets right now? What comedians? [00:47:32] Speaker B: Well, Chappelle in it is he. Chappelle comes and he's like three hours. [00:47:36] Speaker A: He does? Yeah. [00:47:38] Speaker B: He's not famous for it. [00:47:40] Speaker A: I saw him that long ago. It wasn't no three hour show. It was an hour. [00:47:44] Speaker B: I don't know. Well, apparently he's disposed to doing that. [00:47:47] Speaker A: Yeah, he's good. Let's see if we can get him on the program. Can we get him in here next week when we talk to him? [00:47:53] Speaker B: Is he coming through farm in Ohio? [00:47:56] Speaker A: He did does. [00:47:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:01] Speaker A: All right, so you're giving it a Bob Christian, you will be the deciding vote. And though you only saw the first five minutes of Larry the cable guy remained seated and woke up to some canned laughter. [00:48:14] Speaker C: You know, I'll give it whatever our version is of. Of the. Of the thumbs up simply because his jokes weren't quite for me, but he has manicured this. This character and this style that he's able to reach out to a theater full of people and get them all on his side. And that is an entertainer when it comes down to it. They flashed to the audience at one point, and one guy was dressed like him wearing the. The cut off sleeves. You know, he went. This guy went to dinner with his wife and then to this show dressed like that. And that was okay. And if you can create that, you're doing something right. [00:48:50] Speaker A: I agree with Christian and everything he says. You are out of touch with the American people, my friend. These people. [00:48:58] Speaker C: All four kinds of them. [00:49:00] Speaker A: Yeah, all four kinds. They represent America today. What Americans want. Larry speaks for all Americans, not just the. Not the four. Well, all four. Yeah. Not just the one. The. All of them. [00:49:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:49:16] Speaker A: Yeah. And he's doing good work. [00:49:19] Speaker B: So wrong. All right. [00:49:23] Speaker A: I don't want the show to end. I could talk about Larry all day. Great choice. [00:49:32] Speaker B: Fade to black. The music plays.
