Episode Transcript
[00:00:08] Speaker A: All right, let's get some talking points here.
Any Mentos over there? Any left in the.
[00:00:16] Speaker B: Actually, I just ate my last one.
[00:00:19] Speaker A: What?
[00:00:19] Speaker B: Yeah, because I. I accidentally left them behind the bar and somebody had gotten to them.
[00:00:25] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:00:25] Speaker B: I came in today, I said, there's two left, so I immediately ate both of them.
[00:00:29] Speaker A: Somebody left two in the roll?
[00:00:30] Speaker B: Yeah. Right.
[00:00:33] Speaker A: How about you, Slappy? You hit that check, Check. You hit that jewels today?
[00:00:38] Speaker C: No, I didn't, actually, I was.
Because of your constant movement, of the timing of the podcast, everything was turned to today.
[00:00:49] Speaker A: I fucked your whole day today.
[00:00:50] Speaker C: Yeah, I believe.
[00:00:52] Speaker A: We. We.
[00:00:53] Speaker B: I thought that was settled in, like, one text.
[00:00:55] Speaker A: One text, and it was two days ago.
[00:00:57] Speaker C: No, no, I mean, I thought we were doing, like, new. That was it. That was our rhythm. Noon on Wednesdays. Noon on Wednesdays. Noon on Wednesday.
[00:01:04] Speaker B: It is.
[00:01:04] Speaker A: It is now.
[00:01:05] Speaker C: It's sort of. It isn't. Well, when was the last time we did it?
[00:01:09] Speaker A: Well, when I booked my hair for my next appointment, I changed it to Tuesdays.
[00:01:16] Speaker B: Those kind of contrast each other, don't they? You know, I thought our rhythm was new on Wednesdays, but when's the last time we did it? That's like a very yoga Yogi Berra thing.
[00:01:24] Speaker C: That's what I mean, though.
[00:01:25] Speaker A: Well, because you. You canceled, like, three weeks, so no rhythm to that, is there?
[00:01:33] Speaker C: I don't know about when.
[00:01:35] Speaker A: All right. I don't want to. I don't want to start negative.
[00:01:38] Speaker B: I have a busy life.
[00:01:39] Speaker A: I have a full life.
I own the web domain. Web address. I have a full life. Dot com.
[00:01:47] Speaker C: Really?
[00:01:48] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet, but I do own it.
[00:01:52] Speaker B: How's Wiffle Ball going?
[00:01:53] Speaker C: You should just put a picture of some, like.
[00:01:56] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:01:57] Speaker C: Some desperate picture.
[00:01:59] Speaker A: I have a great picture.
[00:02:00] Speaker C: Sad picture.
[00:02:01] Speaker A: Yeah, I gotta work on that. Thank you for asking, Christian. Wiffle Ball.
We are. We're pretty much sold out for three weeks this summer. And all's well. My family's gonna be able to eat and live for another year.
[00:02:17] Speaker C: How was the Cubs convention?
[00:02:20] Speaker A: Well, I got this hat.
[00:02:21] Speaker B: Checking out my new hat. Yeah. That's nice.
[00:02:23] Speaker A: This is a used hat worn by one of the players.
[00:02:26] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:02:27] Speaker A: Number 93. Who's that? Don't know. Looked it up. I think it's just like a bench coach.
So they take their old jock straps and pants and equipment and they sell that. They'll sell anything at this Cubs convention.
[00:02:42] Speaker C: Did I tell you I had broken bats? So when the Cubs used to do their final Home stand. They would open a little store in the stadium and they would sell the flags.
Yes. Do you remember all that shit? So I went in and I got a Luis Gonzalez broken bat one year and then subsequently he won the World Series for Arizona. If you remember, he played for the Cubs. Oh, yeah. I was a big Luis Gonzalez fan.
[00:03:08] Speaker A: You were?
[00:03:09] Speaker C: Yes. And then do you remember Brandt Brown and his infamous drop ball that got them knocked out of. I think it prevented them getting into the playoffs.
[00:03:20] Speaker A: Brand Brown.
[00:03:21] Speaker C: Yeah. It was a ginge.
[00:03:22] Speaker A: It was a ginger.
[00:03:23] Speaker C: It was a ginger outfielder. Jeez, you can Google this. And came to the end of the season, they always had like basically a big drum and it was filled with broken bats.
They weren't broken. They were like, you know, when they hit it and it doesn't break, but it kind of splinters.
[00:03:39] Speaker A: Splinters, yes.
[00:03:40] Speaker C: And then joins back up.
So I got a Brandt Brown one one year and a Luis Gonzalez. I think I ebayed them decades ago, though.
[00:03:48] Speaker A: Yeah. So you don't have them anymore.
[00:03:50] Speaker C: I thought the Brand Brown one was kind of cool because he was a gut, you know, goat. Used to mean, you're the. You're the up.
[00:03:57] Speaker A: That's a scapegoat.
[00:03:58] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:03:59] Speaker A: Now it means the greatest of all time.
[00:04:01] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:04:02] Speaker A: In most circles.
Well, those flags you mentioned, they. Now they give them. Well, they raffle. They raffle, raffle them. They. It's a prize. Now those flags at Cubs bingo on Saturday night at the convention. Cubs bingo is the craziest thing ever. People line up for like eight hours to get a good table of Cubs bingo and they give away all this stuff. And it's hosted by Wayne Messmer. You know Wayne Messmer? No, Wayne Messmer.
[00:04:28] Speaker C: Yeah. You know, he used to do the hockey anthem. He. Yeah.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: Really?
[00:04:34] Speaker A: He's well known for doing the anthem.
And yeah, I was in the elevator with him and looks up some stuff about him. Apparently in the 90s, he was shot in the throat.
[00:04:46] Speaker B: What?
[00:04:47] Speaker A: Outside of like a Chicago nightclub or something and he couldn't do the anthem? Obviously he was shot in the, like. Shot his throat through his larynx.
He was back doing it like six months later, though.
[00:04:58] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: Took a bullet. Wayne Messmore.
[00:05:00] Speaker B: Was he shot at or was it astray?
[00:05:02] Speaker A: I didn't get the whole story. Just Wikipedia. Yeah, you know, light on details. Wikipedia.
Hey, have you guys upgraded this new.
You guys have iPhones, right?
[00:05:12] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:05:13] Speaker A: The new iOS?
[00:05:16] Speaker B: No, I usually hold off. My iPhone is an iPhone 7, so I usually hold.
[00:05:19] Speaker A: You can't take that.
[00:05:21] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. As long as I can, I'll resist.
[00:05:23] Speaker A: Okay. All right. What's. It's wreaking havoc on my life.
[00:05:27] Speaker C: Yeah, they.
[00:05:28] Speaker B: They're always.
[00:05:31] Speaker A: That's a sound of the rats in my walls.
Takashi's gong. Let's hear it.
[00:05:39] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:40] Speaker A: Takashi's beating on his gong.
[00:05:44] Speaker B: Do they still have that ball encased in plexiglass on top of the scoreboard at Wrigley Field?
[00:05:49] Speaker A: Imagine.
[00:05:50] Speaker B: Believe so, yeah.
[00:05:51] Speaker A: Yep. Kyle Schwarber's home run.
[00:05:53] Speaker B: Kyle Schwarber. Yeah.
[00:05:54] Speaker C: I once had a fork that Sammy Saucer had eaten dessert with. Really? Yeah. I went. I used to work with this contractor who is a socks fan. And he goes. He goes. I was at a. I was at Lowry's or some posh restaurant last night, and I could hear someone yabbering away in Spanish behind me. And I turn around and it's Sammy Sosa. So he goes. When he. When they all got up and left his. Because he knew I was a bit of a Cubs fan at this point because I just reached around and grabbed the fork that he'd been eating dessert with, and then he brought it to work me.
[00:06:26] Speaker A: He gave it to you?
[00:06:26] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:06:27] Speaker A: Where's ebay? That ship, too?
[00:06:28] Speaker C: I think I ended up just thrift. What happened was, what I was going to do was what I thought would be funny is I had this, you know, these idiot balls that people buy and they, you know, got the logo on and everything. Right. What I thought would be funny is to drill the holes, put the. Put it in and put fork, ball, fork, ball, Sammy song.
But I never got around to it. So I'm guessing it just ended up in the thrift store donation.
[00:06:55] Speaker B: Did it still have cake on it or whatever?
[00:06:56] Speaker C: It actually did, yeah. Dried up cake on it. When I was given it, it would.
[00:07:00] Speaker A: Have been cool to put it in like, a glass box and have like, I think this the fork Sammy Sosa they carrot cake with or something like that.
[00:07:06] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:07:07] Speaker A: Have that in the living room when people come over.
Nice. How's the missus doing? She all right now that everything's over for her?
[00:07:15] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. As. As invested in it as she is, she can leave it behind.
Well, she did want to see the Bears lose. I will say that. She really.
[00:07:25] Speaker A: She's happy about that.
[00:07:26] Speaker C: She was very happy about that, I think.
[00:07:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, I imagine she was. Yeah. What a game.
Were you at the game? I figured you're at everything.
[00:07:35] Speaker B: No, no, no. I watched. I watched it from a television set.
[00:07:38] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:39] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: I watched it from the United Center. I I had to go to.
[00:07:42] Speaker B: Really?
[00:07:42] Speaker A: The Bulls game with the eighth grade basketball team.
[00:07:45] Speaker B: Oh, I thought maybe they had a watch party.
[00:07:47] Speaker A: No, that'd be cool.
[00:07:48] Speaker C: No.
[00:07:49] Speaker A: Yeah. So I missed the whole game.
[00:07:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:52] Speaker A: Nobody wanted to be at that bulls game. Like, 13 people there in the middle of the Bears game.
[00:07:56] Speaker B: They're all playing.
[00:07:58] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:59] Speaker C: Oh, man.
[00:08:00] Speaker A: Hey, I forgot to ask you, how was Zany's last night?
[00:08:02] Speaker B: It was great.
[00:08:03] Speaker A: Yeah?
[00:08:03] Speaker B: Yeah, it went great.
[00:08:05] Speaker A: Did your act?
[00:08:06] Speaker B: Did our act.
We condensed our three act into about 20 minutes.
We took a whole bunch of requests from the audience members.
We actually did play one of the requests. We originally had it planned out. You know, if you only have 20 minutes, you have to have it down. You know, you can't just be. Some songs are six minutes, some songs are four minutes, you know, so we had a script in mind.
But we did play one off the cuff.
And yeah, it went great. We had everything set up and then we pulled the pianos back at the end. And we kind of sat behind the comics as they did their act. And we played him on and off the stage and all that.
[00:08:41] Speaker A: Okay, so I was wondering how they integrated that into just the normal night at Zany's.
[00:08:44] Speaker B: Yeah, we had ours pushed up front in the beginning. We did the first 20. It came in like just under 22 minutes. And then when the host, which was also kind of the feature, came up, we just. We pulled them back and we sat. We remained on stage for the rest of the show.
[00:08:59] Speaker A: Now, were you doing funny, dirty songs like, you know, Dr. Dirty, John Valby or anything like that?
[00:09:04] Speaker B: No, no. You know what, though? Speaking of which, John Valby, he is a Clarence, New York guy. Clarence is a suburb of Buffalo. Buffalo. And he lived out in the middle of nowhere. And he had this maze in his backyard. And in high school, we used to sneak into his maze all the time and hang out there because he built all these. It was wild. It was this big, like, wooden. Wooden maze with slides that led to other corridors and mirrors and fire pits and this and that. And so it became. It was. Yeah, like he put some time. There was two levels. And so.
[00:09:38] Speaker A: Jesus Valby got a lot of dough.
[00:09:39] Speaker B: Yeah, so he. I guess, you know, Valby. I guess he made it for his grandkids. And so then, obviously, then all the high school kids started hanging out there at night. Cause it was the greatest place to drink beers.
But he was cool and he knew it. He knew all the high school kids were hanging out there. Cause they were leaving their beer cans behind. So instead of Kicking them all out all the time. He just put a bunch of trash cans all over the place with signs that said, if you're gonna hang out here, at least throw your trash in here. And everybody kind of respected it, you know. So you keep your voice down, you drink your beers, you'd walk around the maze and then you'd get out of there.
[00:10:07] Speaker A: He's got quite a spread out there in western New York. Do you know Mark. Dr. Dirty John Valby. Are you familiar with his work?
[00:10:13] Speaker C: I'm only familiar with him cause you would bring him up constantly. But I've never heard him or.
[00:10:18] Speaker A: He was an early hero of mine.
[00:10:20] Speaker B: Oh, really? Yeah, He's a big deal around Buffalo. One time I was working at a French restaurant, French Italian restaurant. And he came in and it was him and like 12 other people. And he sat down and the first thing he said, he's. I want shots of the worst tequila you had for the table and one for you too. And I said, all right, you got it.
[00:10:36] Speaker C: Is he the East Coast Pat McCurdy?
[00:10:39] Speaker A: I don't know Pat McCurdy is. He is a piano man that sings dirty songs.
[00:10:43] Speaker C: He's a famous dirty song.
[00:10:45] Speaker B: I've never heard of this.
[00:10:46] Speaker C: Right. Pretty sure. I don't know Pat McCurdy.
[00:10:49] Speaker B: Yeah, he's the Buffalo version of that.
[00:10:51] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, he works over the Eastern seaboard.
[00:10:53] Speaker B: Quite. Oh, he does.
[00:10:54] Speaker A: And I would always park cars for his shows in New Hampshire as a kid. And when I finally made it big time, I had the pleasure of opening for John Valby at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom.
[00:11:09] Speaker C: That's the story. And he was just like, what the.
[00:11:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I opened.
[00:11:12] Speaker C: I.
[00:11:13] Speaker A: They gave me a half an hour to open for Valby. And Valby's crowd is quite, as you probably know, quite raucous.
[00:11:19] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:11:20] Speaker A: And they are. It's a whole thing. They're fired up before he even gets on stage. And I don't even think he's one that someone that has an opener. But I got to open and they did not want to see me from the beginning. Right. They were screaming at me to get off the stage.
[00:11:36] Speaker C: And that's how I know the name. Yeah.
[00:11:40] Speaker A: And my whole family was there in a box, you know, like a luxury.
[00:11:43] Speaker B: Box, watching you get berated.
[00:11:45] Speaker A: They're throwing cans and at me and one. But I was dancing around in women's underpants and I was getting pelted with everything and looked down and there was chain cuz I was like kind of sweaty and there was change stuck to my body. That they had thrown coins at me and I looked down and saw the coins stuck to my body.
It was described by my brother as a wake up call for our family that night.
[00:12:15] Speaker B: That's what you want to hear After I was like, it's a wake up call.
[00:12:19] Speaker A: Yeah. What did you think? It's a wake up call for the family.
[00:12:25] Speaker B: Next step is an intervention.
[00:12:26] Speaker A: He had a song, it was my favorite of his, was at the Gang Bang.
At the Gang Bang.
[00:12:35] Speaker C: The gang Bang sounds great.
[00:12:36] Speaker A: I don't remember the other lyrics, but that was the chorus.
[00:12:39] Speaker C: There's a whole.
[00:12:40] Speaker A: We could do gang bang.
[00:12:41] Speaker C: There's a whole army of. There's like. There's a guy in England called Roy Chubby Brown who does dirty songs, but he's dirty comic as well. And then there's Kevin Bloody Wilson in Australia and his stuff is mind blowingly, really offensive. Yeah.
[00:13:00] Speaker A: And there's songs.
[00:13:01] Speaker C: He has this one song called Santa Claus, you can't. And then the chorus is, Santa Claus, you can't. Where's my bike? I've unwrapped all this other stuff. There's nothing that I like.
[00:13:14] Speaker A: This might. Well, maybe we'll take a look at one of these fellas.
[00:13:16] Speaker C: We have a dirty. Off with dirty songstresses. Songs and songstresses.
[00:13:22] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, is there anyone. Well, I guess a lot of guys do musical comedy now. Not quite like these old time piano guys, but yeah. You know, like Sandler does music.
I don't know.
[00:13:33] Speaker C: Kind of looked down upon though. Quite a hacky.
[00:13:36] Speaker A: Yeah, it was considered hacky.
[00:13:37] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:13:37] Speaker A: Right.
[00:13:39] Speaker C: Anyway, I think if you can bring a spin to it, that's what I liked about the Sandler one. Didn't seem gratuitous.
[00:13:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:47] Speaker C: Okay. I'm doing this as part of something thing.
[00:13:50] Speaker A: Well, it was most of it really. If you look at his act. Most of it was him playing the guitar and singing songs. And really his act has always been kind of that, you know, from the sweatshirt song. Hanukkah song. Yeah, yeah.
[00:14:03] Speaker B: But we don't do any. No, we don't. To answer your question, we don't do any of those sort of songs. We do just regular songs, but we do like little bits in between.
[00:14:09] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:09] Speaker B: Like keep it light hearted and funny and then into a banter. Yeah, banter. And then we actually like. And a lot of times it's the songs that go wrong that gets the biggest reaction.
[00:14:18] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
So is it like. It's like to warm up the crowd?
[00:14:22] Speaker B: Yeah, well, yeah. I mean, our normal act that we do is just like three hours of us doing that. There's no. We're not a warm up. But for this particular show, yeah, it was. And then we decided to stay in between comics. That kind of the last minute.
[00:14:33] Speaker A: Did the comics try and play off you or get you to play music?
[00:14:35] Speaker B: I've done that sort of gig a lot, and most of the time, some comic will turn and be like, hey, give me, like, you know, some, like, sad or romantic music to, like, fit whatever they're doing. So I was very much expecting that, but nobody did it last night. Mm.
[00:14:49] Speaker A: Well, you see how Sandler uses the piano guy, right, in his act? Did you watch that one?
[00:14:53] Speaker B: No, I wasn't watching him yet.
[00:14:54] Speaker A: Should watch that. Yeah.
[00:14:55] Speaker B: Maybe I'll go back and give it a look.
[00:14:57] Speaker A: Yeah, because he's like, key part of the act. I can't remember his name.
[00:15:00] Speaker C: That guy.
[00:15:01] Speaker A: Right.
[00:15:01] Speaker C: Yeah. Stuart Lee uses musicians for Mood.
[00:15:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
So Zany's. When's the last time you've been to Zany's?
How's Zany's? How was it? What was the vibe in there? Same as always.
[00:15:14] Speaker B: It was great. I've only seen a few shows over at Zany's, so I didn't have a ton of experience. But.
[00:15:18] Speaker A: Who'd you deal with there? Martin?
[00:15:20] Speaker B: No, I dealt with Robbie, the manager, and somebody named Jordan. And everybody was really cool. The bartender, Dave, he's a cool guy. He's a musician, too. He plays a guitar. Well, he used to. He hurt his hand, but, yeah, everybody's really nice.
[00:15:35] Speaker A: How about Bert? Still running the ship over there?
[00:15:37] Speaker C: Martin and Bert are both gone.
[00:15:40] Speaker A: Dead?
No, just they've moved on.
[00:15:43] Speaker C: Retired. I don't know where Martin.
[00:15:45] Speaker B: I guess the name of the guy that booked us is Brian.
[00:15:48] Speaker A: You collaborating with those people over there at all?
[00:15:50] Speaker C: Brian is a former comic, Maybe his current comic. Brian.
[00:15:55] Speaker A: Oh, Babylon.
[00:15:56] Speaker C: No, Brian.
There's two comics with the same last name.
[00:16:02] Speaker A: Petrovka.
[00:16:03] Speaker C: Oh.
[00:16:07] Speaker A: Brian Burke.
[00:16:09] Speaker C: No. Whatever bogging this down. Hey, this is dead air.
[00:16:13] Speaker A: Hey, we're talking shop here. There's people tune into this program. And speaking of which, I've got an indecent proposal for you.
[00:16:21] Speaker B: Oh, is that question?
[00:16:21] Speaker A: Yeah. People tune into this program because they want to hear shop talk. They want to know inside baseball as it relates to stand up comedy and the comedy world. You bring that.
That's why we, you know, we. We let you take that air and, you know, just take it wherever you want. You're the guy.
[00:16:36] Speaker C: I thought my smugness was the selling point.
You can have more Than one they love to hate or the West.
[00:16:42] Speaker A: Yes, yes.
[00:16:43] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:16:44] Speaker A: So one of the listeners reached out to me.
[00:16:45] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:16:46] Speaker A: In our discussion board and apparently people are listening to this show. There's a young lady out there in the audience that's been inquiring about you.
[00:16:58] Speaker B: Oh, is that right?
[00:16:59] Speaker A: That apparently has been to this venue, the Lincoln Lodge.
I don't know that she's put eyes on you necessarily, but she came here with a boyfriend at one point and they broke up at the Lincoln Lodge.
[00:17:13] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:17:14] Speaker A: And one thing led to another. I don't know. She's tuned into the show, heard you, started inquiring about. You want to know if you might be available for a date.
Wanting to know your age.
I said I believe this young man is spoken for, but I'll.
[00:17:30] Speaker B: You never know.
[00:17:31] Speaker A: I'll inquire within it and we'll see. So I believe she's younger than you. I described you as late 30s.
[00:17:41] Speaker B: Oh, that's very flattering. But you're early 40s.
[00:17:44] Speaker A: Early 40s. Okay, well, I know I'm just put, you know, I'm not trying to be a home wrecker here.
There are women out there that like.
[00:17:54] Speaker B: Your options open, I guess.
[00:17:55] Speaker A: Yeah. Like your sultry voice.
They weren't interested in you, I'll tell you that.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: Too smug.
[00:18:01] Speaker A: Too smug.
[00:18:01] Speaker C: Well, the slap headedness. And it's so many mentions.
[00:18:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:05] Speaker C: Despite what they say, women do not, do not tolerate baldness.
[00:18:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:13] Speaker A: You know what? I saw this.
[00:18:14] Speaker C: They'll always come out with some like, well, Idris Elba's ball, you know. Yeah.
[00:18:19] Speaker A: Kobe Bryant.
[00:18:20] Speaker C: Yeah. But it's, it's a lie.
It's a lie. Ladies, are you familiar? I'm not buying it.
[00:18:27] Speaker A: You should be familiar with this term. I read it in the paper this week that in England, in Great Britain, the United Kingdom, they refer to bald men as lollipop men. You've heard this. Oh, lollipop men. Because their head looks like a lollipop.
[00:18:42] Speaker B: Oh, is that why?
[00:18:44] Speaker C: That's a new one.
[00:18:45] Speaker A: You've been gone from there for a long time.
[00:18:48] Speaker B: Lollipop man. This sounds like wizard of Oz.
[00:18:51] Speaker A: Yeah, the Lollipop Guild.
[00:18:52] Speaker C: A lollipop man, when I was a kid was the school crossing guard because they hold this giant lollipop.
And we would say, oh, yeah, you got to go down to where the lollipop man is to cross the road.
[00:19:05] Speaker A: And here in America, a lollipop man is a pedophile. Someone tries to give a child a lollipop and lure them into their van.
[00:19:14] Speaker C: And and the lollipop man in England probably was a pedophile as well.
[00:19:17] Speaker A: If they were crossing guard.
Ass grabber.
Those crossing guards like to grab kids asses.
[00:19:23] Speaker C: Yeah, well, in America you only get that weird little stop thing, don't you?
[00:19:30] Speaker B: The stop sign.
[00:19:31] Speaker C: And in England, they get. It's the full shaft.
[00:19:33] Speaker A: Oh, they have the whole thing.
[00:19:34] Speaker C: Yeah.
Yeah.
[00:19:36] Speaker A: Is the stop sign around in England?
It's not hexagonal. What is ours?
[00:19:42] Speaker B: Octagon. Octagon.
[00:19:43] Speaker C: There isn't a stop sign in England. What?
[00:19:45] Speaker A: There must be.
[00:19:46] Speaker B: Is it all roundabouts?
[00:19:47] Speaker C: It's all roundabouts and stuff. Yeah.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: No.
[00:19:50] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:19:50] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Okay. I'm thinking about stop lights. I saw some stop lights.
[00:19:53] Speaker C: Yeah. Traffic lights. But it stops signs.
[00:19:56] Speaker B: Stop signs. Really? There's no stop signs in England.
[00:19:58] Speaker C: Let's give ways. But that means. Hey, this come in pretty hard.
[00:20:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
All right.
All right. So let me know. I. I said I'd put the feeler out there. Let me know, you know.
[00:20:12] Speaker B: You know, if things start going south in my relationship.
[00:20:16] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:20:17] Speaker B: It'll be the first.
[00:20:18] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:20:18] Speaker A: But hey, it must feel good to be wanted.
[00:20:20] Speaker B: Yeah, it does. I.
I'm flattered. For the second time today.
[00:20:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
Let me know if any. Any women are interested in me.
[00:20:28] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:20:28] Speaker A: I'll put there anything.
[00:20:29] Speaker B: Keep the feelers out there.
[00:20:31] Speaker A: I got a new look. Let me show you my new.
What do you think of my slap?
[00:20:35] Speaker C: Had peaky blindness.
[00:20:38] Speaker B: Yeah, it looks the same.
[00:20:39] Speaker C: You've been watching peaky blindness?
[00:20:41] Speaker B: No, it doesn't look like Peaky.
[00:20:42] Speaker A: I did watch an episode of that. Fargo. I gotta get back on that. I like that.
[00:20:45] Speaker B: Oh, which means.
[00:20:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:20:47] Speaker A: Which one? I started with.
[00:20:48] Speaker B: Oh, good. Yeah, that's good intro.
[00:20:51] Speaker A: Yeah. First two episodes.

[00:20:53] Speaker C: Billy Bob.
[00:20:54] Speaker B: Yeah, Billy Bob. Thor. He's great in that one.
[00:20:58] Speaker A: All right, well, I'm gonna do my best here today to power through, but I, you know, I'm under the weather again. Are you either Covid or Norovirus? I've got diarrhea. Yeah. That new liquid. Yep. Norovirus. Everybody I'm around.
[00:21:15] Speaker B: Is that what it's called?
[00:21:17] Speaker A: Norovirus.
[00:21:17] Speaker B: Norovirus. Is that the new flu that everybody's.
[00:21:20] Speaker A: Yep. It's a bad one. Yeah, I think I have that. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I wouldn't do that.
[00:21:24] Speaker B: Yeah, you don't sound like you wouldn't do that too.
[00:21:27] Speaker A: I think it's going well. I thought. Yeah.
[00:21:29] Speaker B: I was feeling pretty good.
[00:21:30] Speaker A: Well, you'll be excited to hear we have a New sponsor.

[00:22:40] Speaker A: Oh, no.
[00:22:42] Speaker C: Well, hang on now. We did. You talked about American football.
Yeah. We're done.
[00:22:47] Speaker A: Yeah, we're done.
[00:22:48] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:48] Speaker A: That's it. All the treacles. It's over. No more treacle.
Treacle is a small talk. Oh, it's a word for small talk.
[00:22:56] Speaker C: Treacle is what you put on your rice pudding.
[00:22:59] Speaker A: I don't know what that is.
Treacle.
[00:23:02] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:23:02] Speaker B: Treacle is what you put on. Tupping your rice pudding. That.
[00:23:06] Speaker A: How do I say that? Tupping. Tuppence. Licking the tuppence.
[00:23:09] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:23:10] Speaker A: Licking the tuppence.
It's been a while since I've been with my wife, I'll tell you that, if you want to get into that.
[00:23:17] Speaker B: I didn't know Michael Douglas had contracted genitals.
[00:23:20] Speaker A: He's over it, but it.
[00:23:21] Speaker B: It.
[00:23:21] Speaker A: It marred his career. He. He. He took a hit on that just because he was disfigured. I think for a little bit. It's not. Doesn't look the same.
[00:23:29] Speaker C: Did he have, like, the. The. What's it, Ebert thing going?
[00:23:32] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. They get an E. You don't see him anymore, right?
[00:23:37] Speaker C: No.
[00:23:38] Speaker A: Douglas.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Is he still with us?
[00:23:40] Speaker C: What is he like? He's got to be early 80s.
[00:23:43] Speaker A: He's got to be, right? He's a wonderful actor.
Okay, we're here today to talk about the comedian Rory Scoville. Scoville.
[00:24:03] Speaker C: Hang on. Before you start, did you even dip in your toe into James Acaster? You didn't. Did you start?
[00:24:08] Speaker A: You owe him 14.99.
[00:24:10] Speaker B: I've watched the whole thing. It was 11 and change.
[00:24:12] Speaker A: 1199. You owe him that.
[00:24:13] Speaker C: It's a total I'm going to.
[00:24:15] Speaker B: I'm going to sit down and watch it. Yeah, it's in my email. I've got a year to watch it. I can watch it 15 times if I want.
[00:24:23] Speaker C: My concern was it wasn't so much whether you'd like it or not.
There's a whole bunch of references in there.
He talks about Brexit extensively, you know, I was like, nah, it's not even that. I'm worried that you're not gonna like it. Trust me.
[00:24:42] Speaker B: He's worried that a couple dumb dumbs like us might not get it.
[00:24:45] Speaker A: We like Stuart Lee.
[00:24:46] Speaker C: No, no, it's not even that. It's more like, I just don't think this has any chance of resonating whatsoever.
And you wouldn't be able to objectively review it because of the content of it.
[00:25:01] Speaker B: I'm gonna like it on purpose now just to prove you wrong.
[00:25:04] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:25:05] Speaker A: So that's why you pulled the plug.
[00:25:06] Speaker C: I don't think you can like it or hate it. All you can do is watch it and go, I don't know what the fuck he's talking about.
[00:25:12] Speaker B: I'm gonna know what he's talking about.
I'm gonna do a whole bunch of research first.
[00:25:17] Speaker A: I never got to it, so I'm.
[00:25:18] Speaker B: Gonna learn everything about Brexit I can.
[00:25:22] Speaker C: Anyway.
[00:25:23] Speaker A: So you pull the plug.
[00:25:25] Speaker C: Stage switcheroo.
[00:25:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm glad I didn't. I didn't have time for that.
[00:25:29] Speaker B: Two hours was a little long. I was. I was actually glad, too. And I will still watch it, but I was glad that we. I didn't have to do it that day.
[00:25:34] Speaker A: Well, next time we come around, maybe have a change of heart. You do pick it. Okay. But we were charged by Mark with watching. Rory Scoville's not. I don't know if this. This was.
Halfway through, I realized this is 10 years old.
Yeah.
[00:25:50] Speaker B: Isn't that crazy, that 2017. Yeah.
[00:25:53] Speaker A: Yeah, they were.
[00:25:54] Speaker B: They were filming in 2016 though. Yeah.
[00:25:57] Speaker C: Talks about the election.
[00:25:58] Speaker B: Yeah. It hadn't happened yet.
[00:26:00] Speaker C: That was funny how he's like, well, we're probably all going to be dead by the time this screens.
[00:26:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
He said, look. Look how happy we were.
[00:26:08] Speaker C: That was.
[00:26:09] Speaker B: I was watching like, wow, you all do look pretty happy.
[00:26:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:13] Speaker A: Who is this guy? I didn't. Why did you choose him?
[00:26:15] Speaker B: Yeah, tell me about him.
[00:26:16] Speaker A: I didn't research him at all.
[00:26:18] Speaker B: Give us a skinny.
[00:26:19] Speaker C: Scoville and La Lodge have hit history.
[00:26:21] Speaker A: Okay, let's hear.
[00:26:23] Speaker C: So I think Rory Scoville first played the Lincoln Lodge. Maybe 20 years ago. 15 to 20 years.
[00:26:31] Speaker A: In the old building.
[00:26:31] Speaker C: In the old building, the ridge. I've still got the head shot that he gave me in the. And the silly bio. And I remember it not specifically because he was in it, but I remember it being a mind blowingly good show.
And you know, I associate him with it, but I mean, he only did a 10 minute thing cut to, you know, years later. And he's becoming quite the thing about town.
And then he came to the lodge at the new place under the gun once and liked it. And then one of the last things we did the old place was he did a run of four nights in a row with no prepared material. Just, I'm just gonna go up there and do stuff. And it was like a blast, you know, because a lot of fans come in and they were just like, yeah, we'll roll with whatever. And so it was great. And what the capper was, he made this speech at the end of the night about how important the Lincoln Lodge was, how it should be supported, and what a great thing we were doing. And we actually used that speech for a submission to like an arts grant that we were running for because they wanted a, you know, give us a 10 minute reel of like.
[00:27:51] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:27:52] Speaker C: Of what?
[00:27:53] Speaker A: That was like the end of the real.
[00:27:54] Speaker C: That was. The end of the reel was him like, okay, this is this guy saying it. So, you know, full disclosure, I'm probably not gonna come down hard on whatever he does. And then I was telling Christian, who came in, coming out of lockdown, I emailed Rory Scoville and I was like, hey, I got this awesome idea for a show because he's pretty fearless in like how he approaches it. I said, we've got three small theaters. The show would be. There would be a crowd in each, and you would just wander the building from theater to theater with a camera following you. So sometimes you would be live in front of them, sometimes you would not be. And we would. The camera would then cut in so that everyone in thing I was like, I know it's a gimmick, but you know, that's what you need to get on Netflix and stuff. Let's do it.
[00:28:44] Speaker A: Because he hadn't been on Netflix at this point.
[00:28:46] Speaker C: I mean, I. But you know, just an original idea that I had. So he was like, that. That terrifies me and excites me in equal measure.
But. And I've emailed him every year, six months, whatever, ever since going. That idea is still there. We need to do it before someone else does and that's my Rory Scoville interface.
Now he's at the Vic in March, but that bums me out a little bit. They don't probably never come back to the Lincoln Lodge.
[00:29:21] Speaker B: You don't know that.
[00:29:22] Speaker C: Yeah. You know, I'm gonna hit him up on email and I don't understand why.
[00:29:26] Speaker A: You know, if, if like a comedian was playing somewhere in New York, a big place, Webster hall or something like that, they wouldn't, they would drop in the local comedy places in New York. Why wouldn't a big comedian that, that is doing a big show in Chicago drop in here? Especially if they've got history in and out.
[00:29:43] Speaker C: They're in and out. Oh, it's Cleveland tomorrow.
Now this time there is a, there's a two day gap in his itinerary, but I'm wondering if that's been held to ad shows.
But we'll see. I'm gonna hit him up. We'll see.
[00:29:57] Speaker A: Where's. Oh, he's doing the Vic. Yeah, yeah.
So when he first performed here, the Old Lodge, was, is he, was he a Chicago guy? Where's he from?
[00:30:10] Speaker C: I think it was New York.
[00:30:11] Speaker A: He's a New Yorker.
[00:30:12] Speaker C: I think he's from.
[00:30:13] Speaker A: He doesn't seem like a New York City guy.
[00:30:15] Speaker C: No. Where's he from? I know it, I didn't look it up.
It's sort of like Carolina or somewhere.
[00:30:22] Speaker A: Like that that I can see. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't seem like a New York City guy.
Well, I, I confused his name with.
Whenever I've heard it, I think with the Rory from Dazed and Confused. Rory Cochran Cochrane.
[00:30:39] Speaker C: I don't know who that is.
[00:30:41] Speaker A: Rory Cochrane. He plays one of those stoners in.
[00:30:44] Speaker B: Which one did he play? Do you remember?
[00:30:46] Speaker A: I don't remember his name. Dark hair, so I don't know. I, I never knew who he was and I never seen his act until 8:30 this morning when I lay the optimal supine in the bed watching Rory Cochran. I don't know that. What do you think about watching comedy in bed?
[00:31:08] Speaker B: Do you not Rory Cochran Scoville.
[00:31:10] Speaker A: Oh yeah, Rory Scoville. Any comedy. You watch comedy in the bed.
[00:31:15] Speaker B: I, I've done what you're talking about before.
[00:31:17] Speaker A: In the bed.
[00:31:17] Speaker B: Don't. Yeah, well, when you wake up and you're, you haven't got out, it's for, you know, for this obviously. Like if we had like an earlier one.
Yeah, I've done it and I, I don't, I don't remind it.
[00:31:26] Speaker A: Did you watch it like on a iPad or. Something or.
[00:31:29] Speaker B: No.
[00:31:29] Speaker A: Tv.
[00:31:29] Speaker B: I've got a TV in my bedroom.
[00:31:31] Speaker A: Do you have a TV in the bedroom?
[00:31:32] Speaker C: No.
[00:31:33] Speaker A: Because you don't want it to interfere with lovemaking.
[00:31:36] Speaker C: No.
[00:31:36] Speaker A: Some people think it's a relationship killer.
[00:31:38] Speaker C: No, I think it's just bad. They say you just shouldn't have a TV in the bedroom.
[00:31:43] Speaker B: They do?
[00:31:44] Speaker A: Yeah. Because.
[00:31:44] Speaker C: Well, for a relationship with shagging, just generally you shouldn't do it.
[00:31:49] Speaker B: I like to watch all in the Family before I go to sleep.
[00:31:51] Speaker A: Do you really?
[00:31:52] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:31:52] Speaker A: You're being serious?
[00:31:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm being very serious.
[00:31:54] Speaker A: Like to get a nice heaping of racism before you.
[00:31:56] Speaker B: Yeah, I like a few good. Few good laughs over. Over society's woes before falling asleep.
[00:32:04] Speaker A: That's a great show.
Rest in peace, Meathead.
[00:32:08] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:32:10] Speaker A: What? We're not going to go into that. Rob Reiner was murdered by his son. You familiar with Rob Reiner?
[00:32:15] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:15] Speaker C: Familiar with Rob Reiner from Spinal Tap? I don't know who this is. Meathead is, though.
[00:32:18] Speaker A: He played Meathead on All in the Family.
[00:32:20] Speaker B: It was his first. First exposure.
[00:32:22] Speaker C: I've only ever watched the proper version of that show, which is the English one. Oh, yeah, we've done this.
[00:32:28] Speaker A: We haven't done this, but did you know that the man was murdered?
[00:32:31] Speaker C: Yes. Okay.
[00:32:32] Speaker A: I don't know what you know or what you pay attention to.
You have a TV in the bedroom, you know.
[00:32:37] Speaker B: Do you know he was a director?
[00:32:40] Speaker A: He was in that. That film you owe Spinal Tap.
[00:32:46] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:32:47] Speaker A: Rory Scoville. So he has newer specials. Why did you choose this one from 10 years ago? This is his first big one.
[00:32:55] Speaker C: Well, the weird thing is I thought I was utterly. You wouldn't have convinced me otherwise that I hadn't seen this before. And I thought it'd be a good.
Just revisit for me on stuff. When within two minutes of it starting, I was like, geez, I haven't seen this one. Yeah, so that was a good lucky pick in the end.
[00:33:15] Speaker A: So you didn't pick this for any reason other than it was available?
[00:33:18] Speaker C: It was on Netflix. We could all get to.
[00:33:20] Speaker A: It is the only one that came up on Netflix. That's why I was asking. I didn't see any other specials. This. This man doing other specials?
[00:33:26] Speaker C: Yeah, I think his latest one's hbo. Right.
[00:33:28] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:33:29] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:33:29] Speaker C: I think he's got one like know your enemy or something.
[00:33:32] Speaker B: I knew nothing about this man before watching this.
[00:33:35] Speaker A: You didn't know him either?
[00:33:36] Speaker B: No.
[00:33:36] Speaker C: I thought you knew him from the old place.
[00:33:40] Speaker B: The old place?
[00:33:40] Speaker C: What do you mean under the Gun? Newport?
[00:33:44] Speaker B: I never worked there.
[00:33:45] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
Anywho. So neither of you know him?
[00:33:50] Speaker B: I had no idea.
[00:33:50] Speaker A: I didn't know him at all.
[00:33:51] Speaker C: You were comedy connoisseurs?
[00:33:53] Speaker A: Yeah, I was, 30 years ago.
[00:33:58] Speaker C: All right, anyway, so I'll rest my chops, so you get going.
[00:34:03] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm going. I'm going. So the name of the special is Rory Scoville Tries Stand up for the First Time. I took that literally, and I thought we were gonna. And I was excited to see some try to fall on his face and do stand up for the first time.
But, no, that's not what we were saying here. This man was a seasoned pro. So why the hell is it called Rory Scoville Tries Stand up for the First Time?
[00:34:26] Speaker C: I think.
[00:34:26] Speaker A: Explain to me that.
[00:34:27] Speaker C: I think it's. His sense of humor is just like. What would be the stupidest name for a.
[00:34:33] Speaker B: That makes sense.
[00:34:35] Speaker A: I took it quite literally.
[00:34:38] Speaker B: Okay, let's talk about the intro.
[00:34:42] Speaker A: Yeah, the intro.
[00:34:44] Speaker B: Yeah, the rock star intro.
[00:34:46] Speaker A: Different.
[00:34:47] Speaker B: I wasn't sure what to think at that point.
[00:34:49] Speaker A: Yeah, I was like, oh, I hate this guy.
[00:34:50] Speaker B: I wasn't sure, like, either I'm gonna.
Either I'm gonna hate this or I'm gonna love it. You know, there's like. Cause he's going all in with that rock and roll fantasy intro.
At first, I was very much on the side of I hate this. And then slowly the needle started moving towards, I think this very good.
[00:35:08] Speaker A: Me. When he woke up from the dream.
[00:35:09] Speaker B: Then he woke up from the dream, then that was a weird moment because then the character he was playing then of, like, well, what do I do? I thought, oh, if that's how this guy's gonna be the whole time, I'm definitely gonna hate this.
But then he came out on stage, and he wasn't either of those characters. Yeah, he was a third character.
[00:35:26] Speaker A: Yeah. And speaking of characters, I'm not trying to typecast this fellow, but what.
What kind of comedian would you say he is? Or if you can describe a comedian in that way, but.
Or what other comedians is he like? He's hard for me to. It's hard to pull a comp on him. Right.
[00:35:45] Speaker B: He's.
[00:35:45] Speaker A: Who's he?
[00:35:46] Speaker B: A comp. It's. I don't know. But, you know, it's. It's funny. I know I just said character, but he almost is like a character comedian. You know, like, a lot of the stuff that you're laughing at isn't just like, you know, set up punchline or any sort of structure like that. It's kind of the way he's saying it, or at least for myself, he had kind of like started to. What. He won me over over time, you know, where, like, talking to, like, a good friend, you know, that, you know, is funny already. You're gonna laugh at more things they say because he's like, oh, this is a funny guy I'm talking to.
[00:36:15] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:36:15] Speaker A: You think he'd be funny? Just talk to it, you know?
[00:36:18] Speaker B: Yeah, he seems like.
[00:36:19] Speaker A: Well, you know him. Has he stayed at the condo?
[00:36:21] Speaker C: He has not stayed at the condo, no. But he is funny to talk to as well. And he's very like, he's not over, you know, he's not demonstrative when you talk to him. But he's. He. Ish. Like, he talks in funniness. He's not one of them comedians that just turns it off, you know, when they leave the stage.
[00:36:40] Speaker B: Right.
[00:36:41] Speaker C: But he's not one of the comedians. It's like, hey, I got to be the funniest one.
[00:36:45] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, Just.
[00:36:45] Speaker C: Just normal talking.
[00:36:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
Do you have a comp for this guy? Would you say he's kind of like. If you were to describe him to somebody who's like, well, you like this Rory Scoville. He's kind of like a fill in the blank there.
I can't then go, yeah, it's hard. That's.
That's what I struggled with here. There's no, you know, archetype.
[00:37:07] Speaker C: He's a bit like Asthma's mess. You wouldn't know him.
[00:37:12] Speaker B: Like, I can see it.
[00:37:13] Speaker C: He's got that asmus sort of like, you know, confidence.
[00:37:18] Speaker B: Yeah, Yeah.
[00:37:19] Speaker C: A bit like Jeff Asthma. So's like a newer comedian that is pulling up trees right now. He's exploding.
[00:37:25] Speaker A: He's doing well.
[00:37:26] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:37:26] Speaker A: Is he a lodger?
[00:37:28] Speaker C: Well, he was a Chicago guy, went to New York, and now he just sells out in, like, two minutes. Really comes back and does a larger.
He's. He's very much. One of these is just like. Yeah. Kind of forthright, confident. Just. I don't know.
[00:37:42] Speaker B: I spotted his signed photo on the wall at Zany's yesterday.
[00:37:45] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:37:46] Speaker B: While we were chatting.
[00:37:48] Speaker A: Hey, do you ever think. Who.
What do you think about buying Zany's?
Would you ever want to buy Zany's?
[00:37:54] Speaker C: It was first a whole chain. You'd have to buy the Nashville one.
[00:37:58] Speaker A: Oh, there's Nashville.
[00:37:58] Speaker C: Nashville is huge. That's like a 300 seater, right?
[00:38:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:04] Speaker C: I don't think the Crystal Lake or whatever. One it is still exists. Right. They. They tried a couple of northern suburbs and they're long gone.
[00:38:12] Speaker A: The Schomburg one probably still there though, right? Or the Vernon.
[00:38:16] Speaker C: Vernon Hills is long gone.
[00:38:17] Speaker B: Really?
[00:38:18] Speaker C: Yeah, I used to drive past that when we went to a restaurant at Abbott. So.
[00:38:22] Speaker B: Yeah, there's one in Rosemont.
[00:38:23] Speaker A: There is, yeah.
[00:38:24] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah, I forgot about that.
[00:38:25] Speaker A: But would you ever want to buy an old timey comedy club, like an 80s comedy club, like Zany's?
[00:38:30] Speaker C: My catchphrase has always been, I would rather shoot me in the head than make me run a comedy club.
[00:38:37] Speaker A: Well, you do run a comedy.
[00:38:38] Speaker C: No, I don't run a comedy.
[00:38:39] Speaker A: It is a comedy club.
[00:38:40] Speaker C: It's a nonprofit run by and for comedians.
The Lincoln Lodge. Not a comedy club.
[00:38:48] Speaker A: Jesus.
[00:38:49] Speaker B: They do a lot of comedy at this. Not comedy club.
[00:38:51] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of people say it's not a comedy club.
[00:38:58] Speaker C: Talking to comedy clubs. You know what the funny thing is, is the Rory Scoville. If we can get back to that. See how the lights went in inwards.
Do you remember seeing it?
[00:39:10] Speaker B: I was paying a lot of attention to the venue.
[00:39:13] Speaker C: I had only mentioned to Heather a few, oh, I wonder if I bought a load of fairy lights.
I've always thought that that's very psychological.
[00:39:22] Speaker A: Like this fairy lights.
[00:39:23] Speaker B: This is the center.
[00:39:24] Speaker C: This is the center. This is where everything should be going.
[00:39:28] Speaker A: You don't have that in here. I've been in here. You have a spotlight on the comedian.
[00:39:31] Speaker C: No, no, no. I'm talking about literally channels of lights running into a focal point. That's what they did in this place.
[00:39:39] Speaker A: And you liked it.
[00:39:40] Speaker C: Hilariously. A couple of weeks ago, I said to Heather, you know what? I should do that at the Lincoln launch.
[00:39:46] Speaker A: Because you were watching the Scoville special.
[00:39:48] Speaker C: No, no, just randomly. We were talking about fairy lights at Christmas, and a friend of mine said there's. There's a acknowledged psychological effect that they make you feel happier.
[00:40:00] Speaker A: Really?
[00:40:01] Speaker C: You know, Christmas lights, you know, oh, Christmas lights. You're speaking. Yeah, yeah. They actually psychologically affect you. And you see them and you. You feel happier. And I was like, yeah, like the hideout has them all in the roof.
[00:40:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:40:14] Speaker C: And I always think, oh, that's kind of a nice effect all year round.
[00:40:18] Speaker A: They do, yeah.
[00:40:19] Speaker B: It's so funny you say that. I was just having a conversation with Kelsey recently after we took down our Christmas decorations here, noticing, like, you know, why don't we just keep these, like, I'm not saying the colors, you know, and all that, but, like, why don't we keep.
[00:40:31] Speaker A: Well, that's classical condition.
[00:40:34] Speaker B: And I had just recently been going through o' Hare Airport and they still had their Christmas lights up. It's just kind of nice. And like, especially during the winter time when it's. When it gets dark at 4:30, you know, it's like, why. Why does this have to end at Christmas? We should have this year round. It just looks better.
[00:40:47] Speaker C: Yeah, well, I mean, but would it wear off though? Is it a diminishing return?
[00:40:53] Speaker B: Well, maybe for us that walk into this building every day it would. But if you're going to see a comedy show, you know, once every couple weeks or so. I don't think so.
[00:41:00] Speaker C: Yeah, I think. I think it would look nice. Well, we have them different colored lights along the front.
[00:41:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:41:06] Speaker C: And I think that is important.
[00:41:11] Speaker A: Well, people associate the lights with Christmas and Christmas, you know, presents and feel good and family. Most people. Some people those lights probably depress the hell out of. Because they don't have positive associations, associations with Christmas.
[00:41:27] Speaker B: But they don't have to be red and green lights. They could be the white ones.
[00:41:30] Speaker A: Even the white ones. Yeah.
[00:41:32] Speaker B: I put up white. A string of white lights in my apartment this year. I don't really normally Christmas decorate, but I did it this year along this big shelving unit that I have. And at the end I decided, you know what? That looks good. I'm keeping them year round. They're still. Yeah, they're going to be there year round.
[00:41:46] Speaker C: Heather keeps up a string of Christmas lights we have over the windows. She's like, I want them there until winter's over and we feel happier.
[00:41:55] Speaker B: Yeah, right. Yeah. Maybe in the summer I might take them down, but yeah, at least for the winter. It's a nice. Just little addition, brightens up the room a little bit.
[00:42:03] Speaker A: Well, there's lots of things that, you know, psychologically make people happy.
There are?
[00:42:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:09] Speaker A: For some guys, it's boobs.
Boobs up everywhere in here.
[00:42:14] Speaker B: We've got the air curtain for that.
[00:42:15] Speaker C: Well, if I could bring it back, I'm gonna bring it back to Rory Scovell.
Anal sex repeated. Come on.
As soon as I saw that, I'm like, this is where Bill's hooked. This is. This is Bill's hook.
[00:42:28] Speaker A: I wasn't gonna bring it up.
[00:42:28] Speaker C: Bill is hooked at this point. This is a winner.
[00:42:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I thought doing that is funny, but I didn't find that funny how he just said anal sex. Anal's like butt fucked. Anal sex.
Anal sex.
[00:42:39] Speaker C: The fact that you were doing it 20 years ago, I guess.
[00:42:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:43] Speaker A: I don't find my own sense of humor funny.
I did not enjoy that.
I don't like. I don't care for that kind of talk.
[00:42:53] Speaker B: Did you notice how there were two different audiences?
[00:42:56] Speaker A: Huh?
[00:42:56] Speaker B: Throughout the special, there were two different audience. It was shot.
[00:43:00] Speaker A: Two different tapings.
[00:43:00] Speaker B: Yeah, two different tapings. And there were different people in the front rows and off to the stage left and right.
[00:43:05] Speaker C: But they configured it very similar. So you didn't.
[00:43:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:43:09] Speaker A: So it's two different shows.
[00:43:10] Speaker C: Atlanta, what was it?
[00:43:13] Speaker B: Atlanta and what I think was it. I thought, I figured it's at the same venue.
[00:43:17] Speaker C: No, no, it. It's totally different place.
[00:43:19] Speaker A: What?
[00:43:20] Speaker B: They had the same curtains and everything.
[00:43:22] Speaker C: I don't know, it's. I swear to God. It said thanks to Atlanta and somewhere.
[00:43:27] Speaker B: Oh, really? I didn't see that.
[00:43:30] Speaker A: I did feel like that the laughter was manipulated. Right. So if they were pumped in. I don't know if it's. I don't think it was fake, necessary. But it was either turned up too high or if there were two different tapings.
It was incongruent. Do you know what that word means?
[00:43:47] Speaker B: I can figure out.
[00:43:47] Speaker A: It was incongruent with the jokes and it seemed out of place too loud.
And I don't know if you guys noticed, but the laughter did not. It was like a Bruce Lee movie. It did not match the faces in the audience. So like I. You'd hear and then you look at the audience, he's, you know, the whole front row, stone faced.
So what's up with that?
[00:44:13] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:44:14] Speaker B: There was a manipulation. There was. I even wrote it down, bro.
In front row stairs. There was one guy. Did you notice? You know I'm talking about.
[00:44:21] Speaker A: I didn't have one, but I noticed a lot of people.
[00:44:23] Speaker B: There was a. There's a group of like 21 year old guys in the front row and the one. Every time they flash to that group of guys, he was just stone faced. Staring at him like the edibles kicking in.
[00:44:35] Speaker A: Maybe, Maybe.
Okay.
What's with the Jack White business?
[00:44:40] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, right.
[00:44:41] Speaker A: What's his relationship with the Jack White?
[00:44:43] Speaker C: He was a producer on it.
[00:44:44] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. But what's their relationship?
[00:44:47] Speaker C: Oh, I don't know.
[00:44:47] Speaker B: Yeah. How do they, how do they match up? That's kind of. I, I was surprised.
[00:44:51] Speaker C: What did you think of the bit though?
[00:44:52] Speaker B: I liked it.
[00:44:53] Speaker A: The bit. Oh, like when they cut to the talk show.
[00:44:55] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:44:56] Speaker A: Thought that was cool.
[00:44:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:44:57] Speaker A: That was something I'd never seen.
[00:44:58] Speaker C: That's very scovel esque. To just mix it up.
[00:45:02] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that was cool. I thought that was well done.
Yeah, that was maybe one of my favorite things.
[00:45:10] Speaker C: Did you notice how, as well. When Jack White was pushing him off to the side and he was trying to get into a bit.
The bit that he was trying to start was the bit that they come back from the sketch with.
[00:45:21] Speaker A: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. As he pushes him off stage, starts.
[00:45:26] Speaker C: Saying the tsa, if you notice the tsa. And then that's what he can combat wave.
[00:45:31] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, I did. That was cool.
Yeah. Really clever.
All right, well, let's get into the nuts and bolts of this fellow's act.
Right. I. I wanted to.
I. I can't pin it down. I. And I'm. And I'll say, maybe you can help me come to a decision here. I. I don't know if I like it. Does that make sense? Like, a couple times I laughed. There was a couple times I was, like, put off a lot of it. I appreciated just in terms of, like, smart comedy.
Not smart, like, clever, necessarily, but, like, just good comedy.
[00:46:08] Speaker B: But.
[00:46:11] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't know. I.
I'm really in the middle of the road here on Scoville.
No, that's not any kind of deep analysis I gave you there, but I.
[00:46:22] Speaker B: Liked it when he pulled his jacket up.
You did? Yeah, yeah.
[00:46:26] Speaker C: Members Only. I like. I like. You alluded to how annoying it was.
[00:46:30] Speaker B: The whole.
[00:46:31] Speaker A: The whole.
[00:46:31] Speaker B: Yeah, the whole drawing attention to the jacket and the different ways of wearing it. At first I thought that was going to be annoying. I thought, like, oh, come on, this is too easy. You know, like, how long are you gonna do this for? And then he did it the whole time.
[00:46:45] Speaker C: And you know what? It probably wasn't a bit. He may have literally thought of that.
[00:46:48] Speaker B: It's.
Well, that's what I was thinking, because if there's two different tapings, that meant that he must have done it twice because he had his jacket pulled up to his ribs for about, you know, a good 20 minutes.
[00:46:59] Speaker C: I don't know. I always remember when he did the Lodge one time, he was talking about how amazing, how ridiculous would it be if I'm on stage watching a film of me on stage leading into a bit. So I said to Ricky Gonzalez, run around fucking right now. Grab the man on the street camera, hook it up, and the first juncture. I think it'll work. I'm gonna turn the projector on. I'm gonna unblank it, and a picture of Rory Scovell will Come up next to him, and I go, do it. It's gonna be a moment of genius. And then I thought, God, what if he hates it? You know what I mean? We get into it afterwards. And so Ricky ran around, hooked the camera up. I go, is it live here? Will you pull it on? And Rory Scovell doesn't know this is gonna happen. A picture of him, like he's. A camera is next to him.
[00:47:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:47:54] Speaker C: The screen used to be there at the old lodge. And he just did. He just looked at it and went into, like, 10 minutes of absolutely hilarious. Like, he looks in, he goes, ah. And then he just started, like, sliding his hand down with his trousers and stuff. And he did a lot of physical stuff with his clothing. And I thought, I wonder if that. Which one came.
[00:48:14] Speaker B: If that could have inspired it.
[00:48:16] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:48:17] Speaker A: So it worked.
[00:48:19] Speaker C: Yeah, because he. He just looked at it and was like, okay, we're off to the race. Yeah. In the end, the camera. It went so long, the camera ran out of power, and we just had to stop.
But anyway, well, I think.
[00:48:35] Speaker A: I think that's.
That makes sense that it worked, because a lot of his act, I feel like, is meta.
What? We're at one hour.
[00:48:42] Speaker B: We are at one hour.
[00:48:43] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:48:46] Speaker C: There was a lot of boring.
[00:48:47] Speaker B: Go at 45 minutes.
What? No, we're at one hour. But Mark's gonna cut out.
[00:48:52] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:48:52] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm gonna cut out. Like, there was a lot of. At the top of this show.
[00:48:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
Which parts?
[00:48:59] Speaker C: Dead air.
Well, you want. There's no point saying, because I'm gonna cut it out.
[00:49:04] Speaker A: But then you have to cut this.
[00:49:05] Speaker B: Out, too, to cut out this part too.
[00:49:07] Speaker C: So we're just going around in a loop here.
[00:49:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, they say all filmmaking is editing, Right. Like, it's all done in the editing room. Masterpiece is made in the editing room.
[00:49:21] Speaker B: So, Mark, are you saying that you think that his whole jacket bit. You know, and I'm. I'm including the pulling the jacket up, unzipping it, addressing that the shirt flaps are hanging out the bottom. Do you think that was planned ahead of time or that just kind of came to him in the moment?
[00:49:32] Speaker C: It could have come to him in the moment, honestly.
[00:49:35] Speaker B: Yeah, but. But maybe it's something that he felt confident in because he's been. He's done things like that before. And you know that for sure because. Because you saw him do that.
[00:49:44] Speaker C: Yeah.
I mean, there was a lot of. There was a lot of generic stuff in here for Rory Scoville, you know, talking about airline tsa. Stuff. And you know how annoying weddings are and stuff. That's like.
That's run of the mill stuff, but with him bringing something to it.
[00:50:08] Speaker B: Yeah, this is. This is kind of a recurring theme now of comics doing run of the mill stuff, but doing it in a. In a. In a quality way.
[00:50:16] Speaker A: Well, I mean, I think it's. You realize when you watch enough of this that there's so much terra firma here. Right. That common ground that everybody's heading.
[00:50:25] Speaker B: There's only so many subjects out there that everybody. If you're filming something like this that everybody can associate with.
[00:50:31] Speaker C: If you want me to pick some highlights to convince you. Right.
[00:50:34] Speaker A: Yeah, convince me.
[00:50:35] Speaker C: All right. So there was the bit, obviously, we talked about the sketch.
The what if Obama truly wasn't American?
Like, what would we actually do?
I really like that. The save the date for the wedding. Yeah. Because weddings annoy the. Out of me.
And then the fl. Well, you should. You should have liked all the dirty stuff at the end. The fleshlight stuff. Okay.
[00:51:05] Speaker A: Yes. I love dirty.
I'm just a.
[00:51:08] Speaker C: Idiot. The. The cut. The comment about, like, men in their 30s just wish they could stop jerking off, but their brain just keeps telling them to and stuff. Come on.
[00:51:20] Speaker A: Yeah. No, when we go through the rostrum like that, and I've written down a lot of stuff that I did. Like, I thought his material was really good. And I don't know if you know, you know him better than we. If it's improvised, but if it is, that's even more impressive. That if it's. A lot of this is off the cuff with scatological, which. That's when I.
If it has that scatological energy, like anything that's, you know, real high energy, fast paced feeling like Robin Williams and that starts to like. I don't like that.
[00:51:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I agree.
[00:51:56] Speaker A: But yeah, I like the material more than the delivery. In the. In the character that you mentioned, Christian, like, whatever that is. Like, he doesn't really have a character. Right. He doesn't have an identity. His material is awesome and his delivery is, you know, pretty impressive. How rapid fire and high energy it is. But, like, it's.
It's missing something to me anyway, you.
[00:52:23] Speaker C: Know, Like, I don't think it is high energy.
[00:52:27] Speaker A: Oh, come on. There's a lot of mugging. There's a lot of moving around. I mean, it's not Sam Kinison energy, but it's. It's. Wouldn't you say?
[00:52:35] Speaker B: I. I did write down good energy, which I know is not high energy, but he does a lot of moving around. You know, he was doing the bowing thing, you know.
[00:52:43] Speaker A: Yeah, there's a lot of.
[00:52:44] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a lot of physicality in his act.
[00:52:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:52:48] Speaker B: And he. And he is just like. He's a very, like, bubbly kind of like, you know, he, like, if he were at a party, you could imagine he's. He's the person that's kind of like taking over. Not taking over the conversation, but floor.
[00:53:00] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:53:00] Speaker B: Right. But, yeah, like, has a lot to say and is going to say it.
[00:53:03] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. It's kind of manicy to me. And some people love that. And other people, I guess me, I. I just don't like that as much.
But. But the materials, I thought was awesome.
[00:53:15] Speaker C: I just. When I think of bad high energy, I think of willful, like, who jumping around. Who's that one?
[00:53:24] Speaker A: Dana Carvey.
[00:53:25] Speaker C: No. Yeah, Daniel Carvey. There was that other comedian that was doing it. Oh, one of the female Gallaghers? No, no, it was one of the female ones.
[00:53:34] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:53:35] Speaker C: Oh, was it slinger?
[00:53:37] Speaker B: Blonde hair? Yeah.
[00:53:38] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:53:39] Speaker B: Right.
[00:53:39] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:53:40] Speaker B: Don't like that. Okay, so that's. I'm glad you said her material blows because I don't think he had bad high energy. I liked his energy, you know, he did. I thought he had higher energy than mo. Most of the comics that we review here, but it was something that usually does turn me off. But I appreciated it this time.
[00:53:57] Speaker A: It had a he. Now that. I didn't think of this in the moment, and Christian might not get this reference, but Mike o'. Connell. Ish kind of energy.
Right. Like in bizarreness. And I like the bizarreness. Just like with o' Connell that it's strange, it's weird. I like that. Yeah. The material is weird. He takes common. Common tropes and makes them weird and weirder. And in that, I like.
I thought the bit.
My favorite bit, I think of all was the airport when he's going through the machines like a Stargate machine.
[00:54:30] Speaker B: Right, right. I thought that was Los Angeles, 1984.
[00:54:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:54:34] Speaker C: I like the scene where he gets.
[00:54:35] Speaker A: How long have I been gone to the guy.
[00:54:40] Speaker C: I like the bit where he talks about, well, if you are gonna kill yourself, why not give auto.
[00:54:44] Speaker B: You're right.
That was a good point. Yeah.
[00:54:47] Speaker C: And he's like, maybe make you want to live.
[00:54:53] Speaker A: Although the people that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought that. I thought his material was awesome. Yeah. I'd like to see him now, 10 years later.
[00:55:02] Speaker B: Hey, at the Vic, let's have a group.
[00:55:04] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:55:05] Speaker C: In eight weeks time.
[00:55:06] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:55:07] Speaker A: Get it. Can you get us on the list plus. Plus four.
[00:55:13] Speaker C: Mabes? I don't know. I'm gonna talk to him.
[00:55:16] Speaker A: Don't go and not tell me like you did with.
[00:55:20] Speaker C: That was literally 20 minutes Sarah Sherman deciding, walking through the door.
[00:55:25] Speaker A: All right.
Want to be there.
[00:55:28] Speaker C: Okay, wait, hang on. Why'd you want to go? You just said he was shite.
[00:55:32] Speaker A: I didn't say he was shite. I said, I want to see more. I'm not sold, but I want to see more.
[00:55:38] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:55:38] Speaker A: I'm intrigued.
[00:55:43] Speaker C: It really got strong at the end, like.
Like the. The Fleshlight fake ass where he goes, there's two people in the room, and the one's looking at Back. Back for me in the mirror going, how did we get here?
[00:55:58] Speaker A: Yeah. No, I like the last line that.
[00:56:01] Speaker B: He does about, like, the kid walks.
[00:56:02] Speaker A: In the room holding the fake ass.
That's your mom when she's out of town or something like that.
It's a good one to end on.
[00:56:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:56:13] Speaker A: All right, well, we're gonna see. We know where you stand, fanboy.
[00:56:18] Speaker C: Yeah, it was. I'm not. I shouldn't really have a voice in the final decision.
[00:56:25] Speaker A: Yeah. And if we're going, and I like that we're all picking. I am. I can't wait to hear who Christian picks. But if we're picking, you pick on whatever pretense you want. But I don't. You know, you have to pick. Like, you're gonna. I love this guy. You're gonna love him, right? It can be just. I don't know anything about this person. Let's take. Let's roll the dice.
[00:56:44] Speaker C: You know, this was kind of a panic buy because I got into Acaster and I thought, this ain't gonna work quickly. Yeah, do something else.
[00:56:52] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm glad we did. That was a good one.
All right, well, I'll give my review first. Rory Scoville, disappointed in right away when he was not trying stand up for the first time. I would have loved to have seen. I'd like to see a net.
My favorite comedy would be a Netflix special. One hour of somebody truly trying stand up comedy for the first time.
[00:57:16] Speaker C: You should pitch that to the Netflix executives.
[00:57:19] Speaker A: Watch him fucking bomb for one hour.
[00:57:22] Speaker C: Hey, guys, drop 300 grand on this idea.
[00:57:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it wouldn't even cost that three grand.
Watch a guy trying to stand up for an hour.
I'd watch every minute of that. That would be awesome.
So I was disappointed. It wasn't his first time trying stand Up.
[00:57:41] Speaker C: Well, how many fake asses, though? That's what we want to get to.
[00:57:44] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, That's a good. That's a good measure. Fake asses.
Yeah, that's a good one. Okay, so great material.
Love how weird he is. Not my cup of tea with the delivery and the pacing and the energy. I need room. Breathe.
Out of four fake asses, I give it two fake asses.
[00:58:07] Speaker B: All right.
Yeah. I've had 48 hours to kind of digest this now and look back on it. And I look back on it, happy that I watched it. I also am not typically the kind of person that likes delivery of that style, but I feel like he pulled it off. And I look back on it.
I look back on it fondly.
I give it 3 out of 4.
[00:58:28] Speaker A: Fake asses and one fleshlight.
[00:58:31] Speaker B: One fleshlight on the side.
[00:58:35] Speaker C: Have you ever actually seen a flashlight?
[00:58:37] Speaker A: I've heard them on the screen.
[00:58:39] Speaker C: I've heard comedians talk about them incessantly.
[00:58:43] Speaker A: Well, it's a pocket vagina, I believe.
[00:58:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:58:46] Speaker A: Yeah. Groove tube, if you will.
Have a groove tube.
[00:58:49] Speaker C: I thought it was like a tube filled with rubber and people just stuck their dick in. Yeah, because he did that whole thing.
[00:58:56] Speaker A: About you warming up in the water.
[00:58:57] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:58:58] Speaker A: You get a mic, put in the microwave or something.
[00:58:59] Speaker B: Maybe there's different kinds.
[00:59:00] Speaker C: Yeah, that kind of shocked me a bit.
[00:59:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:59:03] Speaker A: And it comes in a flashlight canister or something like that.
[00:59:05] Speaker C: I assume that's where the name came.
[00:59:07] Speaker B: From to disguise it. Yeah.
[00:59:08] Speaker A: Yeah, that was a funny bit.
Yeah.
Well, I've.
[00:59:12] Speaker C: I've.
[00:59:12] Speaker A: I have some experience with homemade vaginas and things of that nature. But never a flashlight.
No. No. But I would probably be like him if. If given one and left alone. Yeah. What are you gonna do? You're gonna. You're gonna. You're gonna have sex with us.
[00:59:30] Speaker B: Yeah. If you're in a hotel by yourself, there's no.
[00:59:32] Speaker A: I mean, there's no other option.
[00:59:34] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:59:34] Speaker A: There's no other option but to do it.
Right.
Well, all right. So we got two fake asses. Three fake asses. How many fake asses?
[00:59:46] Speaker C: Well, I'm inadmissible.
[00:59:48] Speaker A: You can still vote. All right, show your cards here.
[00:59:51] Speaker C: Three fake asses is not his greatest work. Not his greatest work, but I did LOL many times watching it.
[00:59:59] Speaker A: What is that? Lol?
L, O, L, L?
[01:00:02] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:00:02] Speaker A: What does that mean?

[01:00:06] Speaker A: What does it mean?
[01:00:07] Speaker C: Laugh out loud.
[01:00:08] Speaker A: Oh, laugh out loud. I thought it meant, like, lolly gag or lolling around.
Lollipop head.
Well, you Know what?
[01:00:17] Speaker C: Oh, the music was great as well. I actually rewound part of the, you know, the credits to get, like, the Jack White stuff. No Broken Bodies by Winter Sounds is going on my list.
[01:00:30] Speaker A: Oh, you picked up some music you like?
[01:00:32] Speaker C: That was the outro.
[01:00:34] Speaker B: Yes, I, I, yeah, I, I can't remember what it sounded like. But you're right. I do remember some good music.
[01:00:41] Speaker C: Very rare. Comedians take the time to go.
Any good music?
[01:00:46] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Well, you got Jack White.
[01:00:48] Speaker B: Yeah.

[01:00:52] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:00:54] Speaker A: Yeah. I might have liked it more if I wasn't laying in bed at 8:30 this morning, half asleep.
[01:00:58] Speaker B: You know, it's a tough way to watch a spider. It is. It really? I mean, gotta be early evening, you know, like you just made dinner.
Yeah.
