Review: Untitled, Ian Edwards

[00:00:09] Speaker A: Hey, music man over there, how's that a Subaru Outback or a Subaru Crosstrek treating you? You enjoying it? [00:00:15] Speaker B: Let's see. I found out what yesterday, that or two days ago when I was driving behind somebody and I only saw the reflection of the driver's side headlight that the passenger side headlight is out. When I found that out, I discovered the fog lights are also out. The horn doesn't. So that's. But that's. That's pretty good. [00:00:34] Speaker C: It's five minutes. [00:00:36] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Easy fixes all around. I gotta say, like, grand scheme of things, it's all right. But those are just like. It was like, 1, 2, 3. Right. [00:00:42] Speaker A: Could be the tip of the iceberg. [00:00:43] Speaker B: Could be the tip of the iceberg. Hopefully not. Other than that, it's running just fine, you know. [00:00:47] Speaker A: So when you bought this automobile, you were not aware of the headlights being out or were they on? [00:00:51] Speaker B: No, I was. I was inside the car when we turned it on. [00:00:54] Speaker A: Yeah, right, right. It's not something you check. [00:00:57] Speaker B: Just kind of assume. Yeah. It was daytime. [00:01:00] Speaker A: I should have brought this guy to give it a once over. He knows his way around an engine. [00:01:04] Speaker B: He said he would go, but he was going to wear his Bali Clava. And I thought that might scare off the threatening. [00:01:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:01:10] Speaker A: To wear that threatening. Are you. Is the CD player working? [00:01:14] Speaker B: Yes, it is. And I had Billy Joel in there on repeat until just last night, I switched over to Turquoise, which is the other CD that we have. Turquoise. Some people pronounce it turquoise. Some people pronounce it Turquoise. [00:01:29] Speaker A: No, nobody pronounces it Turquoise. [00:01:31] Speaker B: You know the band I'm talking about? [00:01:33] Speaker A: Oh, the band. [00:01:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:35] Speaker A: Torpoise. Tortoise. [00:01:39] Speaker B: Say more bands. And maybe it's that one Tortoise. Oh, it's T U R K uaz. [00:01:43] Speaker A: Oh, I don't know what that is. [00:01:44] Speaker B: Right. [00:01:44] Speaker A: You're talking about the actual word turquoise. [00:01:46] Speaker B: Oh, if I was, I would have said turquoise. [00:01:49] Speaker A: Okay, well, that makes me feel better. What was your. What's your favorite Billy Joel song on Greatest. [00:01:54] Speaker B: You know, it's funny, I know I texted you right away that I skipped Piano man, and then I discovered that I also now skip scenes from an Italian restaurant. And it's not because I don't like that song. I love that song. But I learned how to play it, and it's a difficult song to learn how to play. There's like seven different parts. Right. You gotta learn that whole solo that's in the middle, all of that. And because I learned how to play It, I have to play it. It's gotta like, make like. It has to stay in my regular repertoire of songs that I practice at home or else I'll start to forget little parts. And if you forget one little part, it's like a domino falls the whole rest. Right. Cause your muscle memory's thrown off and you can't get it back. Right. So I play it live so frequently that I can't listen to it anymore. I found this time that the Entertainer was really taking me away. [00:02:37] Speaker A: Like the Entertainer. [00:02:38] Speaker B: I love that song. Yeah, Billy Joel just has the best lyrics. [00:02:42] Speaker A: He's amazing. Did you see the documentary about Bill? [00:02:45] Speaker B: No, I still haven't watched it. [00:02:46] Speaker A: Oh, it's good. How about you? You have any interest in this American singer songwriter? [00:02:50] Speaker C: Nope. [00:02:51] Speaker A: Ball red, ball white, whatever you're in the mood for tonight, I'll take you anywhere you want in our Italian restaurant. [00:03:14] Speaker C: Been practicing. [00:03:16] Speaker A: Lost in that. [00:03:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:03:19] Speaker A: Would you like to have me come sing? [00:03:20] Speaker B: I was just gonna say you should come by Galway Bay. That would be a funny one of our Wednesdays. And sing the song while I play it. Open jam. [00:03:28] Speaker A: He plays legitimate music well. And I sing and I sing it like that, where it's kind of right, but mostly not. And the lyrics are kind of fucked. [00:03:39] Speaker B: Up and I have to kind of stay on rhythm with you rather than you staying on with me. So I keep slowing down and maybe speeding up. Skipping apart. [00:03:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:47] Speaker B: See what happens. [00:03:47] Speaker A: And I just kind of mumble over shit and jump to whatever part I want. You got to try and we can figure out where I'm at. [00:03:52] Speaker B: He's singing a different song at one point. [00:03:54] Speaker A: Is that good? [00:03:56] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't know. [00:03:57] Speaker A: Well, you're a judge of comedy. [00:03:58] Speaker C: It reminds me of the. The movie Iron Weed. [00:04:02] Speaker A: Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. Why does it remember remind you of that? [00:04:08] Speaker C: Because Meryl Streep is a former cabaret singer. Right now she's a sort of drifter. And she. One time she's walking past the bar and she goes in and you think it's going to be like she's going to start singing and it'll be like the voice of an angel, you know, because. Well. But she's absolutely abysmal. And everyone in the bar is like, really embarrassed by it. [00:04:31] Speaker A: Well, how does she get work as a singer? [00:04:33] Speaker C: She doesn't. She's a drifter. Like her. Jack Nicholson and Tom Waits are all drift. They remember the movie. [00:04:39] Speaker A: I did not see this film. [00:04:41] Speaker C: Okay, so it's a depression era America. Yes, they're drifters. Tom Waits, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep. [00:04:48] Speaker A: They're drifters. [00:04:49] Speaker C: They're drifters. They're, you know, hobo camps and all this stuff. It's a good film. [00:04:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:55] Speaker C: All right, so you're Meryl Streep in this scenario. [00:04:58] Speaker A: I always confused. It came out similar time. Silkwood and Ironweed. It's kind of like. [00:05:04] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:05:04] Speaker A: They're similar sounding names and they came out, like, back to back. [00:05:08] Speaker C: So you see Silkwood's. Where? You see Meryl's boob. [00:05:11] Speaker A: Oh, you do? [00:05:12] Speaker C: Yeah. She flashes. [00:05:14] Speaker A: Oh, I didn't know. I don't know. You pay attention to those kind of things. I don't. I would remember something like that. [00:05:20] Speaker C: I never saw it. I saw the Mr. [00:05:23] Speaker A: Skin. You were looking at Mr. Skin? [00:05:24] Speaker C: No, actually. Actually, it was in the days of first time. That's in the. The trailer. [00:05:31] Speaker A: The boob. [00:05:32] Speaker C: Yeah. Which is incredible. [00:05:34] Speaker A: An actual bear boob and a trailer. No, they cannot. [00:05:36] Speaker C: Trailer of Silkwood. [00:05:38] Speaker A: They cannot show bear boob in a trailer. [00:05:41] Speaker B: Have you ever seen a bear boob? A bear boob, like the Charmin bears? [00:05:45] Speaker A: Huh? [00:05:46] Speaker B: A Charmin bear boob. [00:05:48] Speaker A: Charman. The toilet tissue. [00:05:51] Speaker B: Yeah. You're catching on. [00:05:52] Speaker A: I'm not, but do. You can't show a bear. [00:05:55] Speaker C: Look at it. It's in the history books. [00:05:57] Speaker A: Nipple. [00:05:57] Speaker B: It's in the history books. [00:05:58] Speaker A: Meryl Streep's nipple Encyclopedia. Really? Well, gonna get right on that. [00:06:06] Speaker C: The stiffy pill out. [00:06:09] Speaker A: I still have it in my pocket. [00:06:10] Speaker C: Wax your board, as the surfers would say. [00:06:13] Speaker A: Yes, they would say that. I've got it in my pocket. It's a quarter. My jacket reeks of pipe smoke. I've been smoking a pipe. [00:06:25] Speaker B: Really? [00:06:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:27] Speaker C: You have so many ironic affectations. It's. [00:06:31] Speaker A: I don't think it's unbelievable. [00:06:33] Speaker C: It's unbelievable. [00:06:35] Speaker A: Here somewhere. [00:06:36] Speaker B: Do you smoke flavored tobacco or is it regular? Just. Is it piped? Pipe tobacco is different than regular tobacco. [00:06:41] Speaker A: Right. [00:06:42] Speaker B: What's the difference? Long cut. [00:06:44] Speaker A: It's long cut. It's moister, I believe. [00:06:47] Speaker B: Ah, like, like. No, no, like shisha. [00:06:49] Speaker C: They call it shag in England. Pipe tobacco, dark shag. Well, okay, let me guess. Like, competition between me and Christian. What sort of ironic pipe does he ironically walk around smoking? [00:07:09] Speaker B: I immediately assume like a Sherlock Holmes, sort of like, you know, the big loop, the big dip. [00:07:15] Speaker C: I think that would be my second choice. I think it's a corn cob, full retro. [00:07:24] Speaker B: Right. [00:07:25] Speaker A: Okay, so now I gotta tell you all about it. All right. You're both right. You're both right. In the past week I've smoked both. I've been walking around with this little corn cob pipe that I picked up, I think in a gift shop somewhere. [00:07:42] Speaker C: One hitter. [00:07:43] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like a one hit. No, I. Yeah, I got it in like a local, you know, vapor. Is it amazing all these vapor store vape stores that are all over America. I walked into one of those in Chicago and asked them for tobacco pipe. And that's the only thing they have. And I've been using it. Using it. And then I was in the Ozarks this past week looking for a new pipe because I don't like it. It's too small and it hits harsh. It's very small. And so went into a place and they had a bigger version of the corn cob pipe. And I walked up and said, you have any other pipes? This is like an Ozark land gift shop. And she said, no, that's it. And I go, eh, nothing else for just to smoke. She's like, you can't smoke out of that. That's just a gag. It's a gag gift. And so it occurred to me that I've been smoking out of a gag gift. I don't even think you're supposed to smoke out of it. It's like one looks like it's made out of corn. [00:08:38] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:08:39] Speaker A: You're not supposed to smoke out of that, I guess. Anyway, so I went to this old relic, Richard's Relics, down at the Bagnall dam in Missouri. It's a used curiosity. And she and the guy, the lady, had a whole case of old pipes. I bought an old used kind of Sherlock Holmes pipe, but it doesn't have the bend in the thing, but it is that kind of thing. And. Yeah. Yeah. So I've been smoking out of that in the car. [00:09:07] Speaker C: I'd be changing in the car. Yeah. [00:09:09] Speaker B: Driving. Yeah. I'd be driving a stick shift. [00:09:12] Speaker A: Yeah. No, I can't. [00:09:14] Speaker B: What was that? [00:09:15] Speaker C: I hope you change the tip because that's an old dead man's saliva. [00:09:21] Speaker B: It's all chewed up. [00:09:22] Speaker A: The end. He could still be all chewed up. Why would they sell an old used pipe but that. Yeah, that's. It's all chewed up. [00:09:27] Speaker C: Where do you think pipes come from? [00:09:29] Speaker B: The ground. Is there a filter? [00:09:31] Speaker A: They have new ones, right? [00:09:33] Speaker B: Is there a filter in a pipe? [00:09:34] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:09:35] Speaker B: Is there? Wouldn't that make sense? Right. Is that why the one hit so hard? Because, well, they put a filter in a novelty pipe, you know, but then the other one doesn't because maybe it has a filter built in. Like, didn't those old timey cigarette wands have felt like Corella de Vil? Yeah, they have filters in them. [00:09:52] Speaker A: That would be a good one. [00:09:53] Speaker B: And that was the big thing. I know I used to want to get one of those when I was a smoker. I know, but I just thought it'd be cool. [00:09:59] Speaker A: Those extenders. [00:10:00] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I'd do it anyway. [00:10:02] Speaker A: I think some men do, but they're feminine men. [00:10:05] Speaker C: Yeah, sure. Interesting thing about the difference between low and high tar. It's the exact same cigarette. It's just they put holes around the filter so you get less. Because my uncle would buy lotar cigs because they were cheaper. Just sellotape around the base of the filter and be like, this is. This is. [00:10:29] Speaker A: Now he wanted full time. [00:10:34] Speaker C: I never did smoke. My dad never smoked. Dad smoked like a beagle. And he was very insistent, like, don't make excuses. You know, in the olden times, they used to start smoking it like 12. Like you're 12 years old now, son. It's time. [00:10:49] Speaker B: Yeah, it's time. [00:10:50] Speaker C: You doing a pack a day? [00:10:51] Speaker A: Yeah, Norm McDonald's a great bit about that. His dad caught him smoking and so he. It's a great bit. But he made him smoke the entire pot. [00:11:01] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:11:03] Speaker A: So he would never smoke it in it. That ended up getting him hooked on cigarettes. Did you ever smoke? Were you ever a smoker? Are you a smoker? [00:11:12] Speaker B: No. I was a rebellious teenager smoker and that kind of followed me into my 20s and multiple occasions tried to quit without success. And then one day, just like a switch, it just flipped. I finished a pack of cigarettes and I just never bought another one. I didn't even notice for maybe a week or so that you hadn't smoked. I cut down at that point a little bit and about a week later I was like, man, I haven't bought a pack. I was broke. So I would go days without smoking cigarettes anyway, you know. Cause I just couldn't afford them. And after like a week went by, I was like, well, shit, if that. [00:11:45] Speaker A: Quit and didn't even know it and. [00:11:47] Speaker B: Didn'T even know it. And then I. And I thought, well, if that much time has gone by and I haven't thought about it, then I guess I'm done and that's it. However. However, I will still. I still love a nice marble red on like a chill fall night like this time of the year. [00:12:04] Speaker A: Oh, and will you allow yourself that? [00:12:06] Speaker B: Oh, 100%. When I was on that Train from Reno to Chicago. I thought I had an opportunity in Denver to get off for a while because they said, you have half an hour here. And I was like, oh, I know. I know. [00:12:16] Speaker C: Smoke? [00:12:16] Speaker B: No, it wasn't even that. I was like, I know Union Station. I know I could, like, run up the stairs, run across the track, down. I know exactly where there's a bar next to here. I can, like, chat with a local real quick, you know, have a beer, and then run back to the train. And once I got off, I realized it's a little risky, but there was some Amish guys there smoking. So I said, Amish guys smoke? Yeah, Amish guys, they love cigarettes. Yeah. I asked him, I said, can I. Guys, can I bomb a cigarette from one of you? And the one guy turned to me, and he holds out this pack. I didn't recognize it. And he opens it up, and there was regular cigarettes, you know, filters and everything. But the paper was brown paper, like that. Raw. Raw rolling paper. Or like, roll your own, you know, but they were rolled already. They were, like, legit, just in a box. [00:12:55] Speaker A: What was the brand? [00:12:56] Speaker B: That's the thing. So he gives me one. I started smoking. I'm like, God, this tastes clean. Like, I was like, they must have grown their own tobacco. This is good. And he turned to me at one point, he said, how do you like that? West Chester, whatever it was. You know, Chesterfield. It could have been. So I said, it's great. But then I had to hurry back onto the train, however. Then I'll get a huge head buzz. [00:13:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:17] Speaker B: You know. And so then I had to walk carefully back to the train because I didn't want the conductors or the people working on the train to think that I was inebriated and a liability to the rest of the people on the train because I was trying to keep my steps straight. [00:13:31] Speaker A: Stumbling from that cigarette. [00:13:32] Speaker B: Trying not to. Yeah. Yeah, I was. [00:13:34] Speaker A: Got your money's worth out of that Winchester. [00:13:36] Speaker B: Yeah. That's why I love. Every once in a while, I'll have that nice, cold cigarette. It's the best. [00:13:41] Speaker C: The. My uncle quit through the hypnosis thing. [00:13:45] Speaker A: Yeah, The Russian guy. Did he get the Russian? [00:13:48] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:13:48] Speaker A: There's a Russian guy, was. The hypnotist. He would go. He's well known everywhere. [00:13:53] Speaker C: He sublimated it with sweets, though. And now he's, like, three stone heavier because he's just constantly, you know, necking rolos and. [00:14:01] Speaker A: Yeah, that's bad. That's even worse for you, probably, than the smokes. [00:14:05] Speaker B: Is a stone £20? [00:14:09] Speaker A: How much is stone? [00:14:11] Speaker C: Stones? Six. [00:14:14] Speaker A: Six stone? [00:14:15] Speaker C: Twelve. [00:14:15] Speaker B: Twelve. [00:14:15] Speaker C: A stone is 12£12? Yeah. Or is it 14? I think it's 14. It could be 16, I don't know. [00:14:24] Speaker B: Still a lot of weight. [00:14:25] Speaker A: Christian weighs about 20 stone. [00:14:27] Speaker B: I'm about 20 stones big. [00:14:29] Speaker C: I used to love pranking smoke. We had a mate, Ian, at school, and he always had a pack of fags on him. We would just get them and like color them with highlighters or just write wanker on them. [00:14:43] Speaker A: You have to smoke it with a wanker. [00:14:45] Speaker C: And he would just do stuff. He was. He's dead now, but he was a good lad. And he. What? One day he walks in with them cocktail cigarettes. You know, they're like. [00:14:58] Speaker A: That's what we're just talking about. [00:14:59] Speaker C: Pink. No, no, not the stem. The. They're actually colored. They're like pink, blue and shit. [00:15:04] Speaker A: I never saw those. [00:15:05] Speaker C: And I knew he was broke and I'm like, why? He got these stupid ass cigs. And he goes, ah, I figured, fuck it, I deserve something. [00:15:15] Speaker B: So he bought those. [00:15:16] Speaker C: Yeah. So he bought like this ridiculously expensive, like, cocktail ones. And then someone showed me a trick one time. I'm amazed my dad didn't kill me. But if you. If you scrape. If you get a piece of tin foil and you scrape a couple of match heads into it and then ball it up really tight and you. You stuff it down the end of the fag, light with it with a pin, it blows that goddamn thing apart like. Like in a cartoon. [00:15:46] Speaker A: Oh, so that's the exploding cigarette. [00:15:49] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:15:49] Speaker B: Holy crap, that's a good one. [00:15:51] Speaker C: When we found out about that, I'm like, I mean, it. It's not just poof. Oh, it is. [00:15:59] Speaker A: I like to see that. But like you blow your nose off or something. I don't think that dangerous. [00:16:03] Speaker C: It's only a couple of match heads, but. [00:16:05] Speaker A: So you put the whole match head in there. [00:16:07] Speaker C: You get a piece of tin foil, you scrape the. The, you know, the phosphorus. [00:16:11] Speaker A: Kids don't do this. [00:16:12] Speaker C: Off the end of the match into the tin foil. And then you ball up the tin foil like, you know, like a bullet, like, because you've got to get it small to get it into the end. And then you stuff it so you can't see it. Yeah, you can't see because you stuff it down. [00:16:27] Speaker A: That's awesome. [00:16:28] Speaker C: And it's. It's like in the cartoon, the exploding cigar. Yeah. You know, and then black face. All black faces. No, but anyway, I used to love like that with smokers. [00:16:40] Speaker A: Do you think we need to explain what he referred to a cigarette as in British? [00:16:44] Speaker B: No, I think like I knew that when I was eight. You know, everybody knows. [00:16:47] Speaker A: You did? Yeah, I did, yeah. I think everybody knows now though. Yeah. [00:16:50] Speaker C: Oh you could. [00:16:51] Speaker B: And if they don't, they can look it up. [00:16:53] Speaker C: So you could stuff a piece of fuse wire up the middle and then when they're trying to flick the ash, it just won't fall off. So they get the dog ends about that long though. [00:17:04] Speaker A: Well, I've seen some rolling papers have, have like a wire and. Is that what you're talking about? No, no, no. [00:17:08] Speaker C: I'm talking about you get a piece of fuse wire, straighten it out and then shove it up the fuse wire. [00:17:13] Speaker A: Why would that. Keep it from ashing. It just keeps clings. You can't get it off. [00:17:19] Speaker C: It's like. [00:17:20] Speaker A: That's kind of cool. Well, we've stumbled upon some interesting stuff here with the cigarette gaggery. [00:17:27] Speaker B: Good tricks for the future. [00:17:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:29] Speaker C: My mate just used to sit there in the pub and just wanker it and. [00:17:36] Speaker B: What? [00:17:36] Speaker C: He just didn't care. What I was telling you the joke. We take his sigs when he went to the toilet. Just write on it. [00:17:45] Speaker A: He didn't care what it said on it. Well it, whatever it says is going to burn away. [00:17:48] Speaker C: Yeah, well. [00:17:52] Speaker A: Well after the show I can I smoke a pipe in here? [00:17:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:55] Speaker A: No, no, no. A lot of high end equipment in here. We can go outside and you can smoke from my used pipe. [00:18:03] Speaker C: What is the point of this affectation I've had? [00:18:07] Speaker A: I've gone back and forth with the pipe many times. [00:18:09] Speaker B: Does it taste good? [00:18:10] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. But I don't inhale it. [00:18:12] Speaker B: Really? Yeah. You're not supposed to, right? I don't know, it's too rough. [00:18:15] Speaker A: But I feel the tingle. [00:18:17] Speaker B: Right. [00:18:17] Speaker A: Mouth. [00:18:18] Speaker B: It's like a cigar. [00:18:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:19] Speaker B: You get the, the nicotine through your saliva. So you salivary glands. [00:18:23] Speaker A: I don't smoke. Cuz you got to inhale that. It's too harsh. And cigars I, I kind of like. But that thing's an hour commitment. [00:18:30] Speaker B: Yeah, it is a long time. [00:18:31] Speaker A: Forever. Plus you just, you know when you want a little tug on it, you have a little tug and it's very distinguished looking. [00:18:38] Speaker B: That sounds nice. [00:18:39] Speaker C: You should get a man bun as well while you're at it. [00:18:42] Speaker A: That's who smokes. Yeah, Pipes. Guys with man buns. [00:18:45] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:18:46] Speaker A: There's a guy in my neighborhood, now that you mentioned it, has a man bun and I, I think he also has A pipe. [00:18:50] Speaker B: Invite him over for a pipe session. [00:18:52] Speaker C: Yeah. You can talk about your favorite Arcade Fire albums. [00:18:59] Speaker A: I like Arcade Fire. [00:19:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:19:01] Speaker B: There you go. You got something in common. [00:19:03] Speaker C: You're a total. What's the word? No, no. [00:19:08] Speaker A: What did you say? [00:19:09] Speaker B: Nihilist. [00:19:10] Speaker C: Yeah, you are. [00:19:10] Speaker B: A night at least once per episode has to happen. [00:19:15] Speaker A: All right, so listen, when I was in this Richard Relics and I bought the pipe, I was with my kid, right? We were spending a couple of days down there in the Ozarks, and I was walking around this curiosity shop, and I turned a corner and kind of put into the corner in a concealed area was a section for dirty movies and dirty magazines. [00:19:38] Speaker C: Nice. [00:19:39] Speaker A: They had Playboys. [00:19:40] Speaker B: Did they have the Viz? [00:19:41] Speaker A: They didn't have the Vids. Hustlers Club International. And I couldn't help but peruse some of these magazines. And immediately I was transported back and looking at Club International to a different time. And I was very aroused. And my son, who couldn't find me because I was back there for so long, turned the corner and found me back there looking at Club International. [00:20:09] Speaker C: Oh. [00:20:09] Speaker A: Oh. I was like, yeah, I haven't seen these in a long time. [00:20:13] Speaker C: Did he snitch to your old lady? [00:20:16] Speaker A: I don't think, you know, it's a guy's trip, so he didn't squeal on me. But I wanted to buy it there. It was like they wanted $10 for it. But now I've renounced. No, I've dedicated myself to only magazines. [00:20:33] Speaker B: Wow. [00:20:34] Speaker A: So if you have any magazines or you're looking to get me a gift, I will love to have Club International issue. [00:20:41] Speaker B: What's your address? I'll get you a subscription. [00:20:44] Speaker A: I think they do have them still. They still make them. Anyway, I'm on the lookout for Christmas magazines. [00:20:50] Speaker B: Christmas is coming up. [00:20:52] Speaker A: There's something visceral about having it in the printed page in front of you that is nothing like the phone. And it's frozen in time. So these images aren't moving, and it's just graphic and very erotic. [00:21:07] Speaker C: What were the films? Were they Super 8? [00:21:09] Speaker A: It was two. They both. They were VHS and DVD. But I was not concerned with these at all. I was drawn right into the magazines. I think it's a more distinguished way of consuming pornography, is through a magazine. Jeez, Am I keeping you awake over there with this story? Yeah, I was falling asleep at the panel, nodding off. I was very excited to tell you that I got nothing else. What else do you want to talk about? [00:21:36] Speaker B: I think last week when you guys started talking About Club International went on. I've never heard of that. I thought you got. Dude, you're talking about crackers. You know those crackers in the green box? [00:21:45] Speaker A: Club. Club Crackers, yeah. Yeah, Club Crackers, right? Yeah. Oh, that's. You didn't really think that. Not until you're not familiar with Club International. [00:21:51] Speaker B: Not until I think somebody said Hustler or something. I realized we weren't talking about crackers. [00:21:55] Speaker A: Yeah, because you were talking about all those different magazines you're familiar with. [00:21:57] Speaker C: Razzle. [00:21:58] Speaker B: I thought they were all British crackers. Yeah, I thought that was British, like candy or something. [00:22:03] Speaker A: Oh, that's how we got on it. Men only. [00:22:05] Speaker B: That's when they started figuring over 40. [00:22:10] Speaker A: You ever see over 40? Back when I looked at it, I was well under 40. Now they would look like young women to me. Over 40. How about under 50? We'll call it under 50 over 40. [00:22:26] Speaker C: My mate was obsessed with porn. My God. [00:22:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it's easy to get into. You know, there's a lot there he. [00:22:35] Speaker C: Would just blow money on, like these Scandinavian magazines. And, you know, the scandals do not hold back. [00:22:43] Speaker A: Oh, really? Like the Germans. The Germans do not hold. [00:22:45] Speaker C: Germans are filthy. But the Scandinavians, really, I wouldn't think that. [00:22:49] Speaker A: I think they're more civilized people. [00:22:52] Speaker C: When we went to Denmark one time, had to share a room with these two older guys. It was on the motorcycle racing. And I said. They said, oh, we're going out for a walk to see, you know, see what the town's like. Which is in a small Danish town. Can we get you anything? And just for a joke, I say, yeah, get me some red hot Scandinavian porn. Hey, lads. Just for a joke, because we're in. [00:23:18] Speaker A: Denmark, you didn't think they would get it or you did. [00:23:20] Speaker C: And they walk back. I'm lying on bed listening to Soundgarden. Super unknown. [00:23:26] Speaker A: No, that's a good one. [00:23:27] Speaker C: It's in my. It's in my brain. And he just throws a magazine at me. Goes, here, here. Do you want it? Whoa. It's red hot pot. I go, where'd you get that? It's like Sunday afternoon. And he goes, it's in a vending machine. [00:23:40] Speaker A: What? [00:23:41] Speaker C: He's what, Walked up, put a few kroner in. [00:23:46] Speaker A: Jesus, that back in the day, that would eliminate the middleman. That would have made things so much easier for us. Trying to procure these. [00:23:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:23:53] Speaker A: No literature. [00:23:54] Speaker C: No sending in your tallest mate with the bum fluff beard on his chin. [00:23:59] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just walk up it wouldn't sell. It to us. [00:24:03] Speaker B: Anyway, I used to go up to Kenyon's gas station in the corner with my, my pale Josh Oliver. And we, we were so small at that point that we would have to stand on the bottom shelf of the magazine rack just to reach the top shelf. [00:24:17] Speaker A: Yeah, we started early and then they see that little 12 year old hand go up there. Boy, Sherry. [00:24:23] Speaker B: So yeah, we were on a good streak about nobody saying anything to us. Until one time we're looking through the magazine and we look over our corner and the two young women working behind the counter were both standing there giggling, looking at us. And once we made eye contact, they said, you're not supposed to be looking at that. And that's all it took. We never came back. We were too embarrassed. [00:24:42] Speaker A: Yeah, shame. You felt shame, right. Well, I wonder if these magazines are going to come back with the way vinyl records have. Or pipes. Pipes. Or VHS tapes. [00:24:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:57] Speaker A: Or CDs. This will be. This is gonna come back. This is what people want. I guess my point, all that was. It was very moving to look at these again. Was very. It moved me in a way I have not been moved. [00:25:10] Speaker B: And you could think, who else has looked at this just like shoot on this pipe? [00:25:13] Speaker A: No, I didn't think about that. I don't want to think about that. Neither of those. I don't want to think about the guy that sucked on this pipe before I bought it, nor the guy that looked at this club magazine. I don't want to think about that. Start to think about it again. All right, well, any other news of note? Hey, what was the thing with. You sent something this week saying, hey, look at this picture of Judd Apatow here. Yeah, he was here. What was it that came out of nowhere? What was that about? You just wanted to. [00:25:45] Speaker C: Because when I started watching Ian Edwards, I'm like, there's something familiar about this guy. And I just couldn't tree it. And then I texted Ricky Gonzalez, cuz all of a sudden I was like, was he the guy that came with Judd Apatow? And so I. He was, yes. [00:26:03] Speaker B: Oh, he's in the picture. [00:26:05] Speaker A: Oh, I hadn't looked at the show yet, so I didn't know who the fuck these were. And I asked you and nobody answered. [00:26:10] Speaker B: I knew what was going on. I was working, I was busy, I couldn't get involved. That was him. [00:26:14] Speaker C: So I had a whole back and forth with Ricky about, hey, was he. Did he come with. With the Judd Apatow? And he's like, yeah, that was the guy. [00:26:26] Speaker A: So he's in his orbit. He's part of his posse, this Ian Edwards fella who we're looking at today. Ian Edwards is in the Judd Apatow stable of comedians. [00:26:38] Speaker C: Yes. [00:26:40] Speaker A: No shit. [00:26:41] Speaker C: He came with him and an older guy called Wayne Federman, who I'd never heard of. He was genuinely funny. He's actually. Wayne Federman is the reason Brido wrote his book about Chicago comedy. Because Wayne Fetterman, he was never even living in Chicago, started a podcast about the history of. I think he was talking about it and Brido got well bent out of shape. [00:27:06] Speaker A: He was talking about Brido? [00:27:07] Speaker C: No, no, no. He was talking about the history of Chicago and he's. Who's this guy to pronounce on the history of Chicago? Yeah, him. [00:27:17] Speaker A: He's an old buck. [00:27:18] Speaker C: You weren't there, man. So that's why he wrote his book, so no one else could appropriate. [00:27:25] Speaker A: I guess that is him. He looks like Terry Crews kind of in that picture. [00:27:28] Speaker B: But. [00:27:29] Speaker A: So what was Apatow doing here? That, that, that we. [00:27:33] Speaker C: He came to the lodge a handful of times when his. One of his daughters was at Northwestern. So he would come into town. [00:27:41] Speaker A: Jesus, got kids that old, it couldn't have been that long ago. He's not that old, right? [00:27:44] Speaker C: No, I think he was when we were at Newport. When was that? [00:27:49] Speaker B: I think that was before my time. [00:27:51] Speaker C: Is it? Oh, okay. Maybe 2018. [00:27:54] Speaker A: You talked to this fella, Apatow? Yeah, nice fella. [00:27:58] Speaker C: Yeah, it was kind of funny because I'd always been very anti Apatow, you know, for this Adam Sandler connection. [00:28:05] Speaker A: You like Adam Sandler now for the rest. [00:28:07] Speaker C: And so when he came in, I mean, he's really good. He's really good as a stand up, is he? Oh, he's really not out in front of the camera. Oh, he is stand up. He's very competent. And I got chatting to him and he, he sort of said, you know. Oh, yeah, he told me a few comedians and how he knew history. Yeah. About the lodge because of the Kamal movie. Big Sa. [00:28:35] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, he was involved in that. [00:28:37] Speaker C: Yeah. And. And then he said to me, he goes, I had. Who's the guy? The actor. [00:28:50] Speaker A: The actor. Oh, Robert Redford. [00:28:53] Speaker B: Yeah, the actor. [00:28:54] Speaker A: Jack. [00:28:55] Speaker C: David Alan Greer. He said I had. He gives to me. David Alan Greer played you in the movie. And I go, well, we do look very similar. [00:29:05] Speaker A: You don't want to talk about that movie or watch that movie. [00:29:08] Speaker C: That's why. [00:29:08] Speaker A: Still better about that. So seeing this picture and then seeing fucking Jed Aptow came through here, made Me want to ask him in this new game show called Does Mark Know Him? All right, so, Christian, how this works is you say a name and I'll say whether Mark knows him. [00:29:31] Speaker B: Okay. [00:29:33] Speaker A: Then you say whether I'm right. [00:29:34] Speaker B: Okay. [00:29:35] Speaker A: All right. [00:29:38] Speaker B: Does Mark know Comedian? For Christ's sake, he's got to be a comedian. [00:29:43] Speaker A: Yeah, it's about comedians, famous comedians that Mark knows. He knows a lot of them. [00:29:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:47] Speaker A: He's portrayed in movies. He's like Chicago's Mitzi Shore. [00:29:53] Speaker B: Does Mark know Anthony Jeselnik? [00:29:56] Speaker A: Does Mark know Anthony Jeselnik? Well, I don't even know who he is, but I know the name. [00:30:01] Speaker C: Should I put my balaclava on so as not to betray. [00:30:04] Speaker A: No, I'm not even looking at you. Mark does not know Anthony Jeselnik because I don't know. I mean, most of the people I don't know, he doesn't know. [00:30:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess. [00:30:13] Speaker C: No, don't know. [00:30:14] Speaker B: Since you're in the same camp, when. [00:30:15] Speaker A: I say don't know him, I mean, you've not met him. [00:30:18] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:19] Speaker A: Had some kind of comedy interaction. Okay, I got one. Now I. Do you. [00:30:24] Speaker B: Bill. [00:30:24] Speaker A: What? [00:30:25] Speaker B: Who do you think Mark may or may not know? [00:30:28] Speaker A: What? No, that's not how this game works. You say a name, so I'll say a name. You say a name, I'm gonna. [00:30:35] Speaker B: That's what I was asking you. [00:30:36] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, okay. The actor, comedian Hannibal Burris. Does he know him? [00:30:49] Speaker B: Well, I mean, come on. [00:30:49] Speaker A: I don't know if he talked about. [00:30:50] Speaker B: That on this podcast. [00:30:52] Speaker A: That was a bad one. Okay, how about this one? Does Mark know now? Dead. Famous comedian Shelly Berman from such great shows as Curb youb Enthusiasm and old shit that I didn't ever saw. [00:31:08] Speaker B: Who does she play in Curb youb Enthusiast? [00:31:09] Speaker A: It's a man, Shelly Berman. [00:31:12] Speaker B: Who does he playing in Curb youb? [00:31:13] Speaker C: Larry's dad. [00:31:14] Speaker A: Larry's dad. [00:31:16] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. All right. [00:31:17] Speaker A: Does Mark know him? [00:31:19] Speaker B: Oh, see, I feel like since the first one, you're trying to go for somebody Mark does know, you're gonna think of somebody else Mark knows. But you might think of somebody that Mark doesn't know. However, Shelly Berman's a very obscure person to just kind of pull out of nowhere. So I'm gonna say, yes. Mark knows Shelly. I can tell by your face already. Mark, do you know Shelly Berman? [00:31:40] Speaker C: Mark knows Shelly Berman. [00:31:42] Speaker A: Yes, he does know Shelly Berman. [00:31:44] Speaker C: He had a wig on. He did. [00:31:46] Speaker A: When he went. [00:31:47] Speaker C: He never had a wig on when he was Larry's dad, but in real life. Oh, he wore syrup. Yeah. [00:31:54] Speaker A: Ridiculous. Our God. [00:31:56] Speaker B: Okay. Does Mark know Rosie o'? Donnell? [00:32:01] Speaker A: No, he does not know Rosie o'. Donnell. He's never met Rosie. [00:32:03] Speaker C: Love to meet Rosie. [00:32:04] Speaker A: You would. [00:32:05] Speaker C: Why? [00:32:05] Speaker A: But you don't know her, right? [00:32:06] Speaker C: I think she's sassy. I think she's good. [00:32:09] Speaker B: Really? [00:32:09] Speaker A: If you're. You're kidding. Sassy and good. What the. What are you saying? [00:32:14] Speaker C: I really. I really like stakeout. That's an outstanding. [00:32:18] Speaker A: She's in that with Emilio Estevez and Dreyfus. Okay, one more. Does Mark know Bill? [00:32:27] Speaker B: Do who? Who do you think Mark may know or may not have ever heard of or doesn't know? [00:32:34] Speaker A: Does Mark know? [00:32:40] Speaker C: This is making me so. [00:32:41] Speaker A: Lewis Black. [00:32:46] Speaker B: Oh, I forgot that I have to answer. Does Mark know Lewis Black? Okay, I think we. I think I remember us talking about Lewis Black on this podcast before, and I don't feel like it was in the context that Mark knows him, so I'm gonna say no. Mark does not know Lewis Black. [00:33:02] Speaker C: Mark does know Louis. [00:33:03] Speaker A: Yes, I know. I'm pulling all people from the 2000 comedy, Chicago Comedy. [00:33:09] Speaker C: He said smugly.

Who do you think Mark knows? [00:33:31] Speaker A: I. What? I don't know. Who do you think asked me somebody? [00:33:36] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's right. It's my turn to do that. All right, Bill, you know what? I'll bet Mark knows. I'll bet Mark knows. Adam Carolla. [00:33:53] Speaker A: Adam Corolla. Yeah, that's a tough one. That's. I'm gonna say yes. He's mad. Adam Carolla. [00:34:04] Speaker C: No. [00:34:05] Speaker A: What? I mean, we're tied now. [00:34:08] Speaker C: I can Kevin Bacon it. I met Doug Stanhope, and therefore. Yeah, that's why it's adjacent. [00:34:15] Speaker A: All right, here's a tough one for you. Okay? [00:34:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:23] Speaker A: Does Mark know Zach Galafianakis? [00:34:29] Speaker B: Californian Akis? [00:34:32] Speaker A: No. [00:34:33] Speaker C: Galfianakis? [00:34:34] Speaker A: I don't know. You know what I mean? [00:34:35] Speaker B: I'm gonna say no.

Now you gotta ask me again. [00:34:47] Speaker B: Oh, God damn it. What am I. I'm asking you if you got to say the name this time. Hey, Bill. [00:34:56] Speaker A: Yeah? [00:34:57] Speaker B: Who do you think Mark doesn't know. [00:34:58] Speaker A: To stop with that preamble to it. Just say the name. Pissing me off. You're ruining the game. [00:35:06] Speaker C: Jeopardy. [00:35:09] Speaker B: You know who I Bet Mark's never met. I'm gonna go with. [00:35:20] Speaker A: No. You don't say who you think. Just say a name. [00:35:23] Speaker B: Oh, comedians, you know. Okay, well, then fine. You know, if you think you. [00:35:26] Speaker A: If you know he knows him, then you know. [00:35:28] Speaker B: Who I'll bet Mark knows, or may not know is Jeff Garland. [00:35:34] Speaker A: Okay. Oh, this is a tough one because he was here recently. You weren't here when he was here, but he has come through before. I think you said you didn't know him, though, so I'm going to say now you know him, because when he came. When he came to the red line, was I doing the red line or were you doing the red line? I don't remember. [00:35:57] Speaker B: Fuck. [00:35:59] Speaker A: I'm gonna say no, I don't think.

[00:36:13] Speaker C: We haven't even. [00:36:14] Speaker A: All right, how do this? [00:36:15] Speaker C: 50 minutes, right? [00:36:16] Speaker B: We're at 42 right now. [00:36:18] Speaker A: Do this. You say a name and we'll say whether you know him or not. [00:36:23] Speaker B: Oh, this is. Okay. The ultimate tiebreaker. [00:36:25] Speaker C: All right. [00:36:26] Speaker B: This is like overtime. [00:36:27] Speaker C: Oh, no, because I feel like I've blabbed too much. Let me think of one. All right, all right. No, no, because we, you know, the Lodge history and stuff. Colin Jost. [00:36:51] Speaker A: Colin Jost. Well, we gotta. I can't say. Should we write it down? [00:36:58] Speaker B: Yeah. And then we'll both. What? Show it at the same time. [00:37:01] Speaker C: All right. [00:37:06] Speaker A: Okay. [00:37:07] Speaker B: Okay. Ready? Just hold up. [00:37:10] Speaker A: 1, 2, 3. What does it say? No, you don't know Colin Jost. [00:37:14] Speaker C: Yes, you do. Yeah. [00:37:16] Speaker B: Mine says. [00:37:17] Speaker A: How the. Did you meet him? [00:37:18] Speaker C: Lincoln Lodge. [00:37:19] Speaker A: He came to the Lodge? [00:37:20] Speaker C: Yeah, he did the Lodge? Yeah. When? Jfl. [00:37:25] Speaker A: What's jfl? Jewish Football League. [00:37:27] Speaker C: Just. Just for laughs. [00:37:29] Speaker A: Just for us. [00:37:33] Speaker C: You. Someone's gotta win. This is tedious. All right, let me think, let me think, let me think. We already did the answer. He's Ansari Story, so you know, I met him. [00:37:42] Speaker A: No, don't think of people you know, Just. [00:37:43] Speaker C: I know. [00:37:44] Speaker B: That's what I was thinking, too. He's only gonna think of people he knows, right? [00:37:46] Speaker C: No, no. [00:37:47] Speaker A: I'm trying to throw us off the trail if you want. [00:37:48] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm trying to throw you. All right. All right. I'm going to throw you off the trail with. [00:37:55] Speaker B: Sound like a car starting up. [00:37:58] Speaker A: Wow. [00:37:59] Speaker B: Right, Right, right, right, right, right, right, right. [00:38:01] Speaker C: What? [00:38:01] Speaker B: Sounded like a car. [00:38:02] Speaker A: Don't distract him. [00:38:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:04] Speaker C: All right. Let's Stick with the Collins. Colin Quinn. [00:38:12] Speaker B: I'm going to say yeah. [00:38:13] Speaker A: I'm going to say no, you win. [00:38:16] Speaker B: All right, great. [00:38:18] Speaker A: Never met that Colin Quinn, huh? [00:38:19] Speaker C: No. [00:38:21] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right. So what this is is I know Mark better than you. [00:38:27] Speaker B: Is that the name? Is that what you named this game? I know Mark better. [00:38:32] Speaker A: Well, what this game does is it. It brings in some credibility because people don't know how connected you are to all these people. It's not just a fluffy you. It's really to bring the show some credibility. [00:38:46] Speaker C: He sure isn't to. To smug it up even further. If people find you smug, I don't irritate your. [00:38:53] Speaker A: I don't. I can't control. You know how people find you if they find you smug? We'll find out if Pat Skerrett writes back. In today's comedian of note of discussion is Ian Edwards. [00:39:11] Speaker C: No. Him. [00:39:11] Speaker A: No. No, you don't. You didn't even. You didn't even know who he was in that picture. Well, I guess you. You didn't know. [00:39:18] Speaker B: You knew Madam. [00:39:18] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:39:20] Speaker A: Has he stayed at the house? [00:39:22] Speaker C: No. [00:39:22] Speaker A: We should. That'll be next week's game. Have they the house? Okay, so you know Ian Edwards. Do you remember his act when he performed here at. Or performed at the Newport under the Gun? [00:39:36] Speaker C: Actually, I missed his piece because I was running around doing tech for the other one, so. [00:39:42] Speaker A: So you had never heard of this fellow last week, even though you had seen him? You. One might say you've lost more comedy knowledge than most people have in their brain. What do we know about this fella? What do you know about this fellow? Tell us why you chose him and. And how long is this? My first question is, how long has he been working as a comedian? He says a long time. [00:40:05] Speaker B: 1998, he started. [00:40:06] Speaker A: Really? [00:40:07] Speaker B: Yeah. He's been writing for shows since 98. I knew of him because of the show Blackish. [00:40:15] Speaker A: Oh, that's right. You mentioned that. [00:40:16] Speaker B: Which is a show I very, very much enjoy. He's. He's a writer. He was a writer for that show. [00:40:21] Speaker A: He's not on that show. [00:40:22] Speaker B: I don't think he actually performed on camera on that show. One time I was in LA visiting my sister and we went. I think we were at the store and he popped up on stage and. [00:40:35] Speaker A: I recognized the Comedy Store, not the store. [00:40:38] Speaker B: Yes, well, it's a difference. [00:40:41] Speaker A: You said the store. You were at the store. [00:40:43] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Okay. [00:40:44] Speaker A: He popped up, right? [00:40:45] Speaker B: Yeah. So he popped up on stage and I recognized his name from the credits. Blackish. Bobby Lee actually was also there, and I guess they do stuff together. I found out afterwards, and I really enjoyed his act that night. Yep. Yep, that night. And then I started following him on Instagram back when I had that on my phone. And I really enjoyed his little skits that he did, which is what brought us here today. [00:41:13] Speaker A: What are some of his other highlights in his biography? [00:41:17] Speaker B: He was the first comic signed to Conan o' Brien's label. He appeared on Conan a lot. He wrote for a bunch of different shows. The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show. He's got a pretty. [00:41:33] Speaker A: He's got a pretty on the upn. Keenan Ivory Wayans. [00:41:36] Speaker B: I don't know what it appears. [00:41:37] Speaker A: Late night talk show on upn. Could be. [00:41:40] Speaker B: I thought that was. I thought the Keenan Ivory Wayans show was like a sketch show. [00:41:43] Speaker A: You talking about Living Color? [00:41:45] Speaker B: No, no. I thought he had his own sketch show. [00:41:49] Speaker A: Maybe he had a different one, but he also. Do you remember that? You probably remember that back in the late 90s he had his own late night talk show. It was trying to be like the next Arsenio Hall. [00:41:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:59] Speaker A: A couch and a desk and it bombed horribly. [00:42:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Yep. [00:42:08] Speaker A: Okay. [00:42:09] Speaker B: That's how I know about this guy. [00:42:12] Speaker A: So he's in his 40s, you would say single. When was this special? The special? [00:42:17] Speaker B: I thought this year, just September. [00:42:19] Speaker A: What? [00:42:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:20] Speaker A: And what is the name of it? Is it called Untitled? Yes, but then it says Untitled, the comedy special you didn't know you needed. [00:42:26] Speaker B: I didn't see that. [00:42:29] Speaker A: Was that the name of the special? Like Dr. Strangelove or how I Stopped Worrying and Learned to love the bomb. [00:42:35] Speaker C: Tagline. [00:42:36] Speaker A: Tagline to go with it. Let's say the Comedy Story. First I thought it was at the LA Comedy Store. I was like, I've been in there and it doesn't look like this. They had that big, like. [00:42:44] Speaker B: Right. [00:42:45] Speaker A: Light up, signed glass ceiling. [00:42:47] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. So that was cool. [00:42:49] Speaker C: Kind of looked like a Pizza Hut with a stained glass. [00:42:51] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. But this is nice. Yeah, yeah. I thought that made it look nice. It made me think, just right away, the stage, right? And behind him, that big giant sign that says the Comedy Store. [00:43:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:43:06] Speaker A: Do you like that when you watch as a comedian or you watch special? A sign telling you you're watching comedy? Like the comedy seller has it, the Comedy Store has it. Laugh Factory. [00:43:18] Speaker C: Factory has an obnoxious sign. I don't know. I mean, you do it for branding. Commercial, blah, blah, blah. I always thought you don't need to do that. I mean, you do. [00:43:29] Speaker A: For branding. You don't have anything up in here, right? [00:43:31] Speaker C: No, because I personally don't like it. [00:43:33] Speaker A: So you don't like it? [00:43:34] Speaker C: I have. We have them off to the side. [00:43:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:38] Speaker C: But the purpose of the one behind is obviously for tv. Like, it's an advert. [00:43:48] Speaker A: I don't know. I kind of like it. Not for the ad, it being an advert, but I kind of like seeing a comedian in front of a sign that says comedy. Like, hey, I'm a comedian. [00:43:59] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:44:01] Speaker A: I like it. [00:44:02] Speaker C: I don't really need reminding. [00:44:04] Speaker A: I don't know. It's kind of nice. Okay. I think it kind of. Class isn't the right word. It kind of shines it up, you know? Like, you like all that production value. Like, having that there, like, legitimize it makes it seem like. [00:44:16] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:44:17] Speaker A: This is a. Like, if you went to McDonald's and they didn't have any of the McDonald's up logos and stuff, you'd be like, what the is this dump? [00:44:24] Speaker B: Yeah. You think you're not at a McDonald's? [00:44:25] Speaker A: You think you're gonna be like, you want to be. You want to be told you're at a comedy show. You want to be reminded that, hey. [00:44:31] Speaker B: I'm gonna be, like, going to a website. Be like, going to, like, a. Like a. Like a. Like a website that you think is for the team that you like, and you're gonna buy some merch, and you find that it's a secondary site. You know, it's not actually owned by the team. And. [00:44:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:44:42] Speaker B: And you think, oh, I'm not gonna buy merch from here. It's gonna be fake merch. You know, it's same thing. Going to McDonald's with no big arches. You think, I'm not buying a burger here. It's not McDonald's. [00:44:50] Speaker A: No. [00:44:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:50] Speaker A: And I find that I like this thing, this kind of thing. I think you should put that up. Right. And put a nice sign in the back. [00:44:56] Speaker C: Not happening. [00:44:57] Speaker A: Why? [00:44:59] Speaker C: I think it's wank. [00:45:00] Speaker A: You think it's wank? [00:45:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:45:02] Speaker A: What do you feel? How do you feel about it? I don't care. [00:45:05] Speaker B: What? Yeah, I. I thought it looked cool in the beginning, and then I started noticing it was distracting as the thing went on. I started looking at the sign, more like trying to see if I could notice any glare coming off of it. However, of course, I'm nitpicking, you know, because of doing things around here, you know, I kind of want to find a problem with it. [00:45:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:45:22] Speaker B: But at the end of the Day. I didn't really give a. No, no. [00:45:30] Speaker C: I mean, it's fundamental branding. [00:45:32] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm not branding. [00:45:33] Speaker C: I'm not gonna argue why they're doing it and stuff. I just think it's wank, so I don't do it. [00:45:39] Speaker A: Okay. [00:45:40] Speaker C: Which is probably why I exist in the comedy gutter. After 25 years, you're trying to be. [00:45:46] Speaker A: Modest now because people say you're so smug. [00:45:49] Speaker B: Trying to find some balance. [00:45:50] Speaker A: It's immodest, you know, saying you're in the gutter when you really think very highly of yourself. All right, well, I, I, I like it. The first time I performed in Boston was a Dick Doherty's comedy vault. Big sign behind me saying, dick Doherty's comedy Vault. And I have it framed. I'm like this, going right at it. I think you should have it. I think you should consider it. Put it up on one of the stages. [00:46:15] Speaker C: I see how it goes. [00:46:17] Speaker A: And then have a little comment card. You like this thing on the stage? [00:46:20] Speaker C: I did it at the open mic, remember? I had the scream in the background. But then, you know, you can't be a twat all your life. Right. [00:46:28] Speaker A: Every grows up, I could see why you don't do it, but I think, you know, you got to get the brand, the logo out there. My kid, I had him, I got that hat, that Lincoln Lodge hat. He was wearing it all of the Ozarks. [00:46:41] Speaker B: Hey. [00:46:42] Speaker A: Promoting the brand for you. [00:46:44] Speaker C: You know, I do a lot of. I do merch and stuff. Yeah, but just that thing, it's like, do you remember when I think baseball finally sold out and now they have adverts on but for ages, that the old farts were like, no, the jersey is, is the boat. Like everything else, you can haul the out of it, but that jersey is sacred. And that's kind of how I feel about the stage space. Like, okay, this is where the stops. Yeah, we can, we can do all the crap, add, you know, adverts in the toilets and merch and blah, blah, blah. But this right here, okay, this is the line. This is where it stops. [00:47:27] Speaker A: You're a purist. [00:47:29] Speaker C: No, because purists would have a sign up. Yeah, I'm an anti. I'm a nihilist like you. [00:47:37] Speaker A: Yeah, but if anyone uses their clips. [00:47:39] Speaker C: Right, Then you've got watermark it. [00:47:42] Speaker A: Oh, you watermark it? [00:47:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:47:43] Speaker A: You don't do that. [00:47:45] Speaker C: No, I don't. Because no one watches clips anymore. [00:47:47] Speaker A: But I thought that's all anyone does. [00:47:49] Speaker C: Watch back in the day. [00:47:51] Speaker A: The irony of this show is Right. Probably nobody's sitting down to watch a full comedy special. They're just getting this guy's jokes and bits. [00:47:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:00] Speaker A: On Instagram. Right. [00:48:02] Speaker C: I think that's the entree in it. [00:48:04] Speaker A: Oh, and then you go and watch the whole thing, I guess. Yeah. I don't know. All right, well, let's. I know it's, you know, we're long in the tooth here, but let's go through every single one of his jokes and. And break them down. Of course, he starts with the gender reveal party, then he goes to Michael Jackson. [00:48:21] Speaker B: What'd you think about that? That way they started. That was kind of weird. I've never seen, like, a trailer for the comedy show to start because they just start in the middle. Like, he's just on stage, he's talking. Like, the thing starts. He's just in, like, almost like mid sentence. He's in a joke. He's. It's like. And so I'm like, oh, okay. I thought that was like, oh, that's kind of cool. I've never seen that before. But then after that bit, it all of a sudden has. Then. Then the title screen comes up and everything. It's like, wait a second, was that just a piece of the show? So. And then, of course, I'm waiting for that to come, the whole show, but it doesn't. And then I'm thinking. [00:48:52] Speaker C: Because we all watch the YouTube edit. [00:48:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:54] Speaker C: I wonder if it's a YouTube effort. [00:48:56] Speaker B: Maybe. Or maybe that's just how they. Because you know how a lot of times people, like the first, like, they'll see the first three seconds. They got to grab you right away. So if it's the title screen that you're seeing, you're more apt to just kind of scroll right past where if you're. If he's like, off and running and they can get you in that first 10 seconds and then tell you what it is. You're already. You're invested now. [00:49:16] Speaker A: So when we watch these specials like this one, and it's more. Watching it on YouTube, is. Are we watching a bootleg or is it released directly? [00:49:25] Speaker B: I'm pretty sure he. I'm pretty sure because when I looked it up, it was. It just said, like, it's streaming on YouTube, you know, so it wasn't like, oh, it's on Netflix, but somebody ripped it and put it on YouTube also, you know, it was like, no, it's just on YouTube. [00:49:37] Speaker A: And if it's on YouTube, I think it means you didn't get anyone else to pick it up. Right. Meaning HBO or Comedy Central. [00:49:47] Speaker B: I don't really know how that works. I don't know people intend to put it on YouTube to begin with that. There's a way they can monetize it that way. [00:49:52] Speaker C: But I think people, they. People now are recording specials because you've got all the high end tech and if they can't sell it, they just punt it out, you know, on a streamer. [00:50:02] Speaker A: Yeah. This seemed pretty low tech, low production value. [00:50:05] Speaker C: Right. [00:50:06] Speaker A: It was just like single camera or maybe a couple cameras. [00:50:09] Speaker B: Did he notice they had a camera from behind? There's like a camera on the back wall of the stage and they showed them from behind at one point it was like the, like the camera on the pylon football game, you know that's. Yeah. And. But they only did that once. Oh, they only use that angle one time in the very beginning and then never again. [00:50:26] Speaker C: Yeah, that's how you saw the. The full stained glass thing was the back shot. Right. [00:50:34] Speaker A: Do you think less that less of a special if it's. If you're watching it on YouTube? [00:50:39] Speaker B: Not necessarily. Now that I've. I've seen some pretty good ones on YouTube now. So who's good that we saw. [00:50:44] Speaker A: Remember we saw Pepitone Swartzen. This guy, they were all YouTube. [00:50:48] Speaker B: Wasn't Joe Pera. Wasn't he felt as YouTube para. Was YouTube. Yeah, there's been some quality. Wasn't the Caleb here in one YouTube. No, no. Oh, that bat though, the, the shitty one from a couple weeks ago was too. No, that was on Hulu. [00:51:07] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that was a Hulu. [00:51:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:11] Speaker A: All right, well, if I put us. If I record a special, I could just put it on YouTube, right? [00:51:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:16] Speaker A: Nothing. No one could stop me. [00:51:17] Speaker B: And then we'll talk about it here. [00:51:18] Speaker C: Yep. Okay. [00:51:22] Speaker A: After we do Leanne Rogers after that. [00:51:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:25] Speaker C: Leanne Morgan, isn't it? [00:51:27] Speaker A: Right, right, right. [00:51:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:29] Speaker A: Leon Morgan. All right, so he comes out with this, this gender reveal bit and then he starts talking and I'm in the way he's talking. [00:51:39] Speaker B: It's like is. [00:51:39] Speaker A: This guy was like two weeks away from open mic. Right. Like he did not seem as he's starting. I'm like, this guy's very clunky. Right. Like just his delivery. And then I'm like, oh, wait a minute now. This is, this is his act. This is his. The clunkiness is kind of Mitch Hedberg, maybe that's not the way I wrote. [00:52:02] Speaker C: Slow and deliberate delivery. [00:52:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:05] Speaker C: Like he's. He's very good speaker and so he doesn't yeah, he just keeps her an even pace. Deliberately and slowly says what he. [00:52:14] Speaker A: Bargazi. Ish. But he's clunky. I can't explain. Clunky's maybe not the right word. Bargazi was very slow and deliberate. This guy's slow and deliberate, but it's clunky almost. And no offense to my good friend Khalil, but this is a. This has a similar staccato delivery as a Khalil. [00:52:38] Speaker C: Well, like. Almost like you're thinking of it as you're saying. [00:52:41] Speaker A: Yeah, something like that. Right, Right. And I'm like, this guy must be brand new. And then I'm thinking, why are we watching this Open MICR on YouTube? And I'm thinking, this guy's got no credentials at all. But then as he goes through, and then I'm like, oh, okay, I see. But this is kind of like. Kind of like a Leanne Morgan, right? She's got a clunky kind of like, folks like marble mouth delivery don't slide. [00:53:09] Speaker C: In a Leanne Morgan review. [00:53:14] Speaker A: Well, until we actually get to review her, I, you know, have to slip them in. [00:53:19] Speaker C: Slipping little nuggets in. [00:53:22] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah, I'm not really impressed. But then I'm like, that's pretty good writing. These jokes are pretty good. And these are all like. I don't know, a lot of these are just, you know, hotels, airport. [00:53:34] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, it's restaurants. [00:53:36] Speaker A: I mean, just right down the middle of the road. [00:53:39] Speaker C: Yeah, right. [00:53:40] Speaker A: Like, what's with airplane food? Yeah. [00:53:42] Speaker C: I mean, he hits every. Every trite thing you can hit. [00:53:48] Speaker A: Yeah. But we reviewed somebody else recently who did that. But we. At least I complimented him on doing it better. Does he do trite? Well. [00:54:00] Speaker C: He'S definitely. Only I stopped writing bits down in the end because I was like, okay, what's happening here? He gained. He gathers momentum is what I would classify this as. Because he. He starts off and I'm. I'm like, you. I'm like, what the hell? This is some open mic are doing trite bullshit. But then he does. He opens it up a bit and, you know, he does the iPhone. Android racism. And that was a good take. And then the billionaires dying on the way to Titanic. I really thought, okay, he's getting this. He's getting it. And. And then I think at the end, he's really hitting his stride. And so I didn't ever think, this is painful. Can it end? Which is a good compliment. Right. [00:54:50] Speaker A: I praise from you. [00:54:51] Speaker C: Yeah. I never thought, God, how many more minutes? [00:54:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Maybe I was distracted, I don't know. And I'm sure you were doing eight things while you're watching this, right? [00:55:04] Speaker C: Actually, no. I was very focused. [00:55:05] Speaker A: Really? [00:55:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:06] Speaker A: Well, just give me the setting. What's the time of day? What day? Night. Mrs. Making a pot roast. You're in the. In your armchair. [00:55:14] Speaker C: No, she was out having a fancy meal. So I was having a. I was having a fry up of Spam. Eggs, baked beans, and some reheated fries. And get this, the tin of Spam. Well, it wasn't Spam. It was off brand Dollar Store. Get this it. I opened it with a key. Do you remember that? [00:55:38] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:55:39] Speaker A: Nostalgia to peel it back. [00:55:42] Speaker C: I haven't done that since I was like, 10 years old. [00:55:45] Speaker A: What does the real Spam have? [00:55:46] Speaker C: I'm sure you eat that real Spam now has the pop, you know, the integrated. [00:55:50] Speaker B: Yep. [00:55:51] Speaker C: But holy shit. [00:55:52] Speaker A: So why did you buy the. [00:55:53] Speaker C: I'm looking at. How do I get in this thing? And there's a key on the side. [00:55:58] Speaker A: Where did you buy this poor man's Spam? [00:56:00] Speaker C: I told you. Dollar Store. [00:56:02] Speaker A: Oh, when you. Your food, your. Your dinner comes from the Dollar Store, you're in bad shape. And we just had this conversation when I saw you eating all that garbage out there. [00:56:12] Speaker B: And he says, I don't eat garbage at home. Everything. [00:56:15] Speaker A: When I'm at home. Yeah, when I'm at home, I can. [00:56:18] Speaker B: Train, which is fake Spam. [00:56:19] Speaker C: When the missus is out of fancy restaurant, I can treat myself to a good old fry up. [00:56:24] Speaker A: That's called a fry up. Good old Spam in the frying pan with beans. [00:56:28] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:30] Speaker A: So do you. Do you. [00:56:31] Speaker C: Anyway, we're getting away from it. [00:56:33] Speaker B: This is more interesting. [00:56:34] Speaker A: That really budget meal to counterbalance her fancy meal. [00:56:40] Speaker C: I eat it because I like it. It's really nice. [00:56:42] Speaker B: All right. [00:56:44] Speaker A: Gosh, you must. You must break a lot of wind. [00:56:47] Speaker C: Oh, my God. Yeah. [00:56:49] Speaker A: Beans and budget Spam. [00:56:53] Speaker C: But the point is, is I was. I was focused. [00:56:56] Speaker A: Okay. So were you eating this meal while. Like a TV dinner, while you were. [00:57:00] Speaker C: Watching this program on a tray, Living the vida loca, watching this thing? [00:57:07] Speaker A: Was this a weekend night or. [00:57:09] Speaker C: No, it was. I want to say Tuesday. [00:57:12] Speaker A: What a Tuesday. Okay. Yeah. I might have trouble getting back on track here, thinking about that. [00:57:19] Speaker C: That Spam With a key. [00:57:21] Speaker A: With a key. I go to the Dollar Store. I no stranger to the Dollar store. Not for my dinner, though. [00:57:33] Speaker C: You should hit the food aisle at Dollar General. It's. [00:57:35] Speaker A: It's called Dollar General or Dollar Tree. [00:57:38] Speaker C: Oh, wait, no. Dollar Tree. [00:57:40] Speaker A: The green one? [00:57:41] Speaker C: Yeah, the dollar tree. You hit the food aisle, you'll be pleasantly surprised. [00:57:45] Speaker A: Well, they have a frozen pizza in there, like, called Celeste. You ever pick up one of those? I like those as a kid. [00:57:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:52] Speaker A: Crush those. [00:57:53] Speaker C: The thing with the dollar store now is, though, this sliding in the three $5 price point you get, they want. [00:58:00] Speaker A: To confuse you and you go into that island like, oh, this is also. Yeah, but it's not even a dollar, as you know, it's A$25. Where is this going? [00:58:08] Speaker B: Yeah, that's right. They are. There's no. There's no just a dollar at the dollar store anymore. No, now we've really gone up. [00:58:15] Speaker A: But he has a joke in here, right? Like, and this I. The triter. The in. In his act, I, I liked more like his hotel stuff. His hotel block of jokes were amazing. Right. And maybe they've been done a million times, but the whole idea of the 3:00 clock check in. [00:58:31] Speaker B: Yeah, right. That's what I was thinking about that when I was watching. I'm like, none of this is like groundbreaking funny stuff, but it's all stuff. It's still, you know, some of the best comedy is like, oh, I can relate to that, you know, like, oh, I've thought that before. Why is it 3pm when I got here hours ago, you know? [00:58:47] Speaker A: Yeah, that's. That's great. Great. Those are great jokes, right? He's like, well, where is this headed? Like in a couple years. It used to be check in was never 10am, was it? [00:58:58] Speaker B: That's what I was thinking too. He said 11am I was like, I was thinking, they don't even have time to clean the room then. [00:59:02] Speaker C: Yeah, he was stretching it out. [00:59:03] Speaker B: There were. There was a bunch of those. He would stretch it a little bit, you know. Well, this. Then this person came up to me and said this. Like, they didn't say that. [00:59:08] Speaker C: Yeah, I disliked it when he was like, yeah, I was out helping him open the airport. It's like, no, you weren't. [00:59:14] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did get the sense in that all his jokes, none of them are. They're just jokes. None of it is real. [00:59:23] Speaker B: Right, Exactly. You can't be sitting there thinking that didn't happen, you know? [00:59:26] Speaker A: Yeah, no, this happened. None of the stuff happened to him. I did like the Hand, that Handmaid's Tale about how they stole slavery. That's brilliant. [00:59:36] Speaker B: Right? [00:59:36] Speaker A: Right. [00:59:36] Speaker C: Yeah, that was good. [00:59:37] Speaker A: Right. So it was Michael Che who we did last and we talked, right? That was the last one. Yeah, we talked about how he does some of the same things where he takes some racial humor and the black white thing and just does it better. So, like, although we hate this, the same common tropes that comedians do when they're done. Right. [00:59:55] Speaker B: Right. It's unavoidable. [00:59:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Then they're great. [00:59:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it's good stuff. [00:59:58] Speaker A: Just when they're done wrong. Right. When you're treading that ground. [01:00:03] Speaker B: Yeah. You're kind of. You're really teetering on the edge of a very sharp triangle there. [01:00:08] Speaker C: What did you think about the amount of squaring? I know I'm a foul mouth. Gutter snipe and the last person to criticize. But too much. [01:00:16] Speaker B: Was it edited out for you? [01:00:17] Speaker C: They sometimes they beeped it and then. [01:00:19] Speaker A: N words, I think. Right. [01:00:21] Speaker B: Well, they didn't beep it in mind. They were just like blank, you know, like it, like there was no. It was just muted. But they were muting out the, the, the F words. The N word. But it wasn't consistent. Sometimes. Yeah. Sometimes they wouldn't. Right. So I'm thinking who's. Who edited this actually? And then it did say at the end who edited it? I meant to look it up, but because the name sounded familiar. I don't know. [01:00:42] Speaker A: But it wasn't edited, meaning censored. [01:00:45] Speaker B: Yeah, but it is censoring process. [01:00:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:00:48] Speaker A: I don't know. Are there? Yeah, I don't know. I didn't notice that. [01:00:51] Speaker B: I thought that was a weird. That was an odd choice. It's YouTube. You don't have to clean it up for YouTube. [01:00:55] Speaker A: Right. [01:00:56] Speaker B: You're not like getting a rating, you. [01:00:58] Speaker C: Know, if you're gonna do it, at least do it consistently. [01:01:02] Speaker B: Right. You're right. [01:01:04] Speaker A: Back to your original point. You didn't. You thought he swore too much. I didn't know. [01:01:07] Speaker B: I didn't really think he swore too much. [01:01:08] Speaker C: I thought it became too much. [01:01:10] Speaker A: Yeah, it was too much. It was upsetting you during your spam meal. [01:01:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:15] Speaker A: I'm saying, like, I can't take all this swearing from this fellow. [01:01:18] Speaker C: Like I say I am a foul. [01:01:20] Speaker A: Yeah, that doesn't, that doesn't add up. Because you are so foul mouthed and creatively. Foul mouth. Maybe it's just he wasn't creative with his use of profanity, you know, like it was just straight away. Fs. [01:01:33] Speaker C: No, I think I'd learned. I learned about swearing too late in life to reverse the damage. And I tell young comedians, I'm not telling you not to swear because I'm an old man. I'm telling you, it doesn't help. It hurts. But, you know, when you're young, you know everything, blah, blah, blah. So I don't expect them to listen, but wisdom of age. [01:02:00] Speaker A: Yeah, it didn't bother me, but can either one of you imitate this guy's voice? Can you do, like, do an impression? [01:02:08] Speaker C: It was weird because he. He had a. So you look up his bio. Born in England. Move. His parents were Windrush generation, so they moved back to Japan. [01:02:18] Speaker A: Say what? Windrush. What's that mean? [01:02:21] Speaker C: I said it's a generation of. Of West Indian that moved immediately following World War. Not immediately, but after World War II. It's not. [01:02:34] Speaker A: Well, you use these terms. [01:02:35] Speaker C: Relevant. The point is, is they moved back to Jamaica, where he was mostly raised, and then to America. So he has. There's this vague Jamaican thing. [01:02:48] Speaker A: Not much, but. [01:02:48] Speaker C: Yeah, not a lot. [01:02:50] Speaker A: Yeah, but you told us last week. I remember you. He gave us his ancestry. It's Jamaican. What else? It's like three things. Four things. [01:03:01] Speaker B: Jamaican, British, and American. [01:03:02] Speaker C: Yeah, you got to start reading the wikis like me and Christian do. [01:03:08] Speaker B: He does say at some point, especially Jamaican, too. [01:03:11] Speaker A: Yeah, he talked a lot about that, but he doesn't really have the accent. But I think that whatever his. It all contributes to that. That kind of clunkiness in the way he talks, or maybe slow. You think he's slow? [01:03:28] Speaker B: No. Is that quick? No, no. I. I think. I think it's. I think it's methodical on purpose. [01:03:33] Speaker A: I think it's. Yeah, he's crafted it. This Persona. [01:03:37] Speaker C: He's a writer. [01:03:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:03:39] Speaker C: He wants to be like, you need to understand what I'm saying. [01:03:44] Speaker A: Yeah. And he seemed to be very true to the. The written word meaning. However he's written these jokes, he was delivering them ex. Exactly that way. [01:03:51] Speaker C: Right. [01:03:52] Speaker A: He wasn't just up there, you know, freelancing and riffing and going in any different direction. He was staying right on script. [01:03:57] Speaker B: Yeah. I even noticed a couple times somebody would kind of be a little loud in the audience or like. Or call something out. And he never. He wouldn't break the muscle memory. Just like scenes from an Italian restaurant. You can't. You know, you got it. You got to stay on path or else the whole rest of it will crumble. [01:04:14] Speaker A: And we've seen that, and you've seen that. I know in watching comedians come up, the. The. Sometimes the worst thing that can happen to a comedian is for them to do well. [01:04:23] Speaker B: Right. [01:04:23] Speaker A: And then get a ton of laughs, because that imbues them with this Confidence to go off script. And once they get off script, they get out of their wheelhouse, they're done, and they can't recover, and it's just a train wreck. We used to say that about McGannon, right? He would come out and he'd get a ton of laughs, and then he. You could see his eyes light up, like. And then he would just go whatever he wanted, was feeling, and then he couldn't recover. Right. I don't think that necessarily. I don't think that necessarily happened to him here, but I don't think he let it. He wasn't gonna let it. [01:04:54] Speaker C: Was it Croatia? She used to just shout, do your jokes. Who used to shout, do your jokes to annoy. [01:05:00] Speaker A: No, I used to. I. If a guy was up there and he was just, you know, fucking around or bantering, I yell, do your actual. [01:05:09] Speaker C: It was you. [01:05:09] Speaker A: Do your act. [01:05:10] Speaker C: Yeah, right. [01:05:12] Speaker A: Like, come on, now. Do your act. We didn't come here for this, huh? Do your act. That'd be unnerving, right? Europe guys up there doing his act. Some guy yells out, do your act. [01:05:30] Speaker B: I am. [01:05:31] Speaker A: Do your act. [01:05:32] Speaker C: It almost sounds. [01:05:33] Speaker A: That was the name of my show at the 4 trace. Do your act. [01:05:37] Speaker C: Huh? [01:05:39] Speaker A: Do your act. [01:05:40] Speaker C: That's what introduce people. Up next is, okay, all right, go ahead. Do your act. [01:05:48] Speaker B: Go ahead. [01:05:49] Speaker A: Do your act. [01:05:49] Speaker C: Do your act. Then walk off. [01:05:51] Speaker A: Get out of here. [01:05:54] Speaker B: Do your act. [01:05:55] Speaker A: Well, this guy does his act, and, man. Well, this. This is. We're gonna. Now that we're getting to the. The high sign here, I don't know how all you guys feel for the first time, and I don't know that you know how I feel about this man, Ian Edwards, very generic name. Ian Edwards, very forgettable. Does not seem like an Ian. [01:06:16] Speaker C: Two first names, and there's about. I bet you fake. I bet you at least 10% of England is called Ian Edwards. [01:06:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:06:25] Speaker A: Really? I think there's a fake name. [01:06:29] Speaker B: No, no, I don't think so. I didn't see anything about it when I was doing my research. [01:06:32] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay, well, anything else you want to chop up in terms of this guy's act? How about before we vote? This was. Yeah, this was. I was very surprised to hear him say last line. Thanks a lot. That's my time. [01:06:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Right. Why are you surprised? [01:06:55] Speaker A: This guy's got a special. You don't hear anyone with a special. Thank the crowd and say, that's my time. [01:07:02] Speaker C: Oh, it's kind of. Yeah, it's very Road comedian. [01:07:04] Speaker A: Yeah, well, it's. It's Road comedy. It's also not headliner. That's my time. [01:07:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:07:09] Speaker A: Like usually I gotta go make way for the next guy. That's my time. [01:07:13] Speaker B: Right, right. [01:07:14] Speaker A: I gotta get out of here real quick. You know, like that was. [01:07:17] Speaker B: Yeah, just a working comedian, you know, that's my time. Yeah, he's just. I like it. [01:07:23] Speaker A: Did you see the. In the credits. Warm up comedians. Yeah, no, Warm up comedians, they called them. Never seen that. [01:07:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I've never heard warm up comedians as a term. Was it any. [01:07:36] Speaker A: I didn't recognize. You didn't recognize names or anything. Warm up comedians. [01:07:41] Speaker C: I watched the credits now because I'm looking at the executive producers. I'm looking at, you know, special thanks. I'm looking at a lot of things going on in there. [01:07:50] Speaker A: Did you see the special thanks in this special? Who he thanked? [01:07:56] Speaker C: I was looking for Apatow and he wasn't in there. [01:07:59] Speaker A: Oh, he might have been. It was quick. It was a long list of. [01:08:01] Speaker C: Yeah, it was a long way. [01:08:03] Speaker A: Pauly Shore. [01:08:04] Speaker C: Oh, he put all the shores, didn't he? [01:08:06] Speaker A: Yeah, there were multiple shores. But the mother's dead. Is she? [01:08:11] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. There was many shores. [01:08:14] Speaker A: Yeah, there was another name. Now I can't remember. I meant to write it down. [01:08:20] Speaker C: Well, he just thanked a load of prominent comedian, you know, business people. [01:08:24] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. [01:08:30] Speaker C: What's the ranking system this week? [01:08:33] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [01:08:35] Speaker B: How many stained glass windows? Stained glass ceilings. [01:08:38] Speaker A: Okay. Stained glass ceilings. [01:08:39] Speaker B: Yeah. How many panels of stained glass? [01:08:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I like that. Yeah. I'm still thinking about my. [01:08:47] Speaker B: Out of four. [01:08:50] Speaker A: Out of four? [01:08:51] Speaker B: Yes. [01:08:52] Speaker A: Four stained glasses. [01:08:53] Speaker B: Panels of stained glass. [01:08:55] Speaker A: Four. I don't want to go first. You want to go first, Christian, you go first. We never have you. [01:09:02] Speaker B: Okay, well, let's say, let's ask this though. Is it four or nothing or is it. Yeah, you say whatever you fuck you want. I'm going to give it. [01:09:10] Speaker A: This rating system doesn't hold up. [01:09:11] Speaker B: I'm going to give it full. Three full stained glass panels and the fourth one is under construction. It's glass, but it's not quite yet done being stained. So about three and a half stained glass panels. I give Ian Edwards special untitled. [01:09:31] Speaker C: I'll give it three stained glass and then one is just a regular window that got smashed by hooligans and we never bothered repairing. [01:09:40] Speaker A: So you're giving them a three. [01:09:41] Speaker C: Yeah, three st. [01:09:43] Speaker A: I don't like stained glass. I'm not using that. [01:09:45] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [01:09:46] Speaker A: I'm going to do. [01:09:47] Speaker B: And switch. [01:09:47] Speaker C: Pulling a switcher. [01:09:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I do whatever I want. [01:09:50] Speaker B: Oh, annihilus Yep, yep. [01:09:53] Speaker A: I'm going to give him. I'm going to give him three black albinos. [01:10:02] Speaker B: Hey. All right. Good reference to the special, but out of a hundred. [01:10:09] Speaker C: Out of ten, out of five. [01:10:11] Speaker A: Out of three. Three out of three. [01:10:16] Speaker C: So say. Say your catchphrase. [01:10:18] Speaker A: No, I don't want to say that. What is it the name of the show? [01:10:22] Speaker C: What's your catchphrase? After every comedian. [01:10:24] Speaker A: Now, I thought about that. [01:10:28] Speaker B: Listen. [01:10:30] Speaker C: Say it. [01:10:31] Speaker A: I know I've said this before. [01:10:33] Speaker C: Yeah. Do you. [01:10:37] Speaker A: Ian Edwards is the greatest working comedian out there today. All right, there we go. Bar none. [01:10:45] Speaker B: There you go. [01:10:47] Speaker A: But I didn't really feel. Listen here. [01:10:48] Speaker C: That's your time. [01:10:50] Speaker A: That's my time. That should be the name of this program. That's my time. [01:10:55] Speaker B: Can we change. We can change it again. [01:10:57] Speaker A: That's my time. [01:10:58] Speaker C: Well, all the branding we've already done. Flushing all that branding away. [01:11:03] Speaker A: Good thing we didn't start the merch. [01:11:04] Speaker B: I know. [01:11:05] Speaker A: That's my time. [01:11:06] Speaker B: That would have been a disaster. [01:11:09] Speaker A: I thought this guy was good. Let's just talk with. He was good, right? This guy's good. Yeah, this guy's really good. [01:11:15] Speaker B: I really like them. [01:11:15] Speaker A: I. I thought he was really good. Love the jokes. Love the material. I wasn't laughing hysterically. I had some, you know, personal issues going on at the time, but managed to make it through. Yeah. Leave you with that. But no, no, no, no. I thought this guy's writing was great. I liked his delivery. I thought he used a good amount of. The right amount of swear words. Yeah. I think this guy's fantastic. [01:11:40] Speaker C: Oh, I did write, why is he wearing a boiler suit? And he actually referenced. [01:11:44] Speaker B: He does address it. Yeah. [01:11:45] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, he incorporates. [01:11:47] Speaker A: It looks like a Jason Voorhees or a Michael Myers suit. Yeah. But this was a weird one in terms of how I took notes. I only wrote down the jokes. Usually I have a lot of sidebar stuff to say about the guy. Nothing. Nothing. No interesting comments about the. Not interesting. No, like, side comments or, like, questions or anything? Just bits. He was very. You know what? I'm gonna walk it back. Two black albinos. He's not that good. [01:12:19] Speaker B: Out of three. [01:12:20] Speaker A: Out of four. [01:12:21] Speaker B: Wow. [01:12:22] Speaker A: Changing the whole thing. Two out of four. I give him two out of four. I liked him. He's good. But something. He's too generic, this fella. It's very generic. You know, he lacks depth. [01:12:38] Speaker C: I was on the. I was on the verge of 2 instead of 4, but. [01:12:42] Speaker A: You went to 4. [01:12:43] Speaker C: No, no. 2 instead of 3. But I did go. That Titanic thing. [01:12:50] Speaker A: You love that. [01:12:50] Speaker C: I love that. Yeah. [01:12:51] Speaker A: I love the idea of like him being so. Or him saying everybody was so happy that they died. [01:12:57] Speaker B: Speaking of which, he was involved in a mockumentary in 2015 about toy Gantic. Have you heard of this? Some artist, Ray Regier Rieger, I think his name was, built an eight foot toy ship. Basically built it by cutting the fuel tank of mercury in half and using it as like the two ends of the hull and built this whole thing like painted little passengers, had little lifeboats and everything. Sunk it in a lake intentionally in 2005 and then raised it a year later and then wrote a whole backstory similar to the Titanic about this thing. And then in 2015, like nine years later, they made a mockumentary about it. I started to watch it. It was awful. I get. I didn't get fired. It was. But it was. It's pretty interesting to just like go on to the, like the Toygantic website and you can see all the photos of like it being built and the. [01:13:53] Speaker A: Whole thing sunk it. [01:13:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:13:54] Speaker A: Where is it now? [01:13:55] Speaker B: Well, now it's like in a showroom being held up somewhere. [01:14:00] Speaker A: Well, he's got some. Something with this Titanic. Yeah, Yeah. I don't know. [01:14:06] Speaker B: All right, so next week we are going to go back to 2013 to watch a special made for Comedy Central. It is called Caligula and it is by Anthony Jeselnik. [01:14:19] Speaker A: Oh, Jesus. [01:14:20] Speaker B: There we go. [01:14:21] Speaker A: First of all, I love the movie Caligula. It's a great movie. [01:14:26] Speaker C: It's just a load of shagging, isn't it? [01:14:28] Speaker A: A lot of shagging. Very strange. [01:14:30] Speaker C: And there's like famous British actor actors like Helen Mirren and John Gielgud and in there, right? [01:14:37] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. John Gielgood's in it. Malcolm McDowell is the lead. James Mason, I think maybe. I don't know if he's in that, but does he know Anthony Jezel neck? I can't remember from the game. He doesn't know Anthony Jezel neck. [01:14:50] Speaker B: Nope. Well, pretty soon. [01:14:52] Speaker A: All right, let me put this in here. In addition to. I want you to. I'm waiting for Leanne Morgan. [01:14:57] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. [01:14:58] Speaker A: I don't know what the holdup is, but how about we. We get some classics too at some point. Eddie Murphy, Raw. [01:15:06] Speaker B: I know, I was thinking about that. That just seems so easy though. I mean, how many other people have done that? I was even looking at classics this morning when I was thinking about what to do. [01:15:14] Speaker A: And you ended up with Jeselnak I. [01:15:15] Speaker B: Was thinking about doing a Sam Kinison. [01:15:18] Speaker A: Okay. [01:15:19] Speaker B: Special. But I thought. I mean, Christ. [01:15:21] Speaker A: Or go way back. [01:15:22] Speaker C: I'd like to do a Bill Hicks. [01:15:23] Speaker B: I was looking at Bill Hicks too. [01:15:25] Speaker C: That would be divisive. [01:15:26] Speaker A: I'd hate it. [01:15:27] Speaker B: All right, well, whatever. Maybe that'll be on the menu in the future. [01:15:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:32] Speaker C: Are we ever gonna get back to women? Comedian. [01:15:35] Speaker A: Yeah, I've got one. [01:15:37] Speaker B: Rosie o' Donnell's next after this one. [01:15:39] Speaker A: Might I suggest Leanne Morgan? [01:15:41] Speaker B: I haven't heard of this. Who is this? [01:15:43] Speaker A: This is the hottest thing since. Oh, you don't say Rosie o' Donnell right now. Yeah, no, I. Listen, I don't choose him. I'm glad I don't choose him. He does a great job. This was a great one. [01:15:53] Speaker C: Which Giselle, Nick, was it again? [01:15:55] Speaker B: The 2013 Caligula. [01:15:56] Speaker C: Caligula. [01:15:57] Speaker A: How do you say Jezelnick or Jezel? [01:15:59] Speaker B: Jeselnik. [01:16:00] Speaker A: Jeselnik. Anthony Jeselnik. White male. [01:16:03] Speaker C: How long was this one? [01:16:04] Speaker A: Good. [01:16:05] Speaker B: We're on an hour 22 right now. [01:16:06] Speaker C: Oh, man, we can't do that. [01:16:09] Speaker A: Yeah, well, let it roll. There's a lot of good stuff here. [01:16:13] Speaker B: Actually, I didn't hit record. [01:16:17] Speaker C: Yes, please.
