Review: Best and Worst of the Season 2 specials

[00:00:09] Speaker A: Anyway, first job out of college, really boring and me and my mates were just downing coffee like mad. [00:00:15] Speaker B: I don't think you told this story. No, we've talked about that. You don't drink coffee, but I don't think you've given the reason. [00:00:20] Speaker A: So one day I went to the toilet at work having had about 10 cups of coffee and I felt like my brain was going to explode out of my head. And sitting on the toilet right there, I said, right, no more coffee. [00:00:33] Speaker B: Oh, cold turkey. [00:00:34] Speaker A: What? Yeah. [00:00:35] Speaker C: And this was however many 20, 30 years ago. [00:00:38] Speaker A: 40, 32 years ago. [00:00:40] Speaker C: And you've not had any coffee since? [00:00:42] Speaker A: Nope. [00:00:42] Speaker C: You're a resolute man. When you make a decision, you stick with it. [00:00:46] Speaker A: When you're sitting on the toilet and yet feel like your head's about to blow off top of your head. [00:00:50] Speaker C: It couldn't have been that bad coffee. [00:00:53] Speaker A: Yeah, it was like you were having [00:00:54] Speaker C: like a panic attack. [00:00:55] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like, you know, I'm 24 years old and I'm getting palpitations like a middle aged man about to have a heart attack. [00:01:03] Speaker C: No Siri Bob, no stimulants for you. You don't take any. No dose pills or. I told you, amphetamines. [00:01:10] Speaker A: My life is a constant battle to stay on an even mental keel. [00:01:15] Speaker C: Yeah, well, everybody is. [00:01:17] Speaker A: Well, why introduce chemicals into the mix then? [00:01:20] Speaker C: Some people need chemicals because they have you ready. A chemical imbalance. [00:01:24] Speaker A: No, they haven't. If you're gonna take drugs, just say I take drugs to look cool and just do it just to look cool. [00:01:38] Speaker B: Who takes drugs to look cool? [00:01:40] Speaker C: I don't think that's true. I think like, maybe as a kid. [00:01:42] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, but like own it as you American. [00:01:46] Speaker B: But maybe that's, maybe that's not what they're trying to own. Maybe that's not the truth for them. [00:01:52] Speaker C: I don't think anybody wants to be on drugs. Everyone wants to feel what you're, what you're searching for, that even keel. [00:01:58] Speaker B: But can you add the glasses over? You've got. Bill has done two pairs of glasses. Can you add this to the [00:02:05] Speaker A: coughing everywhere? [00:02:07] Speaker C: Went down the wrong pipe. [00:02:08] Speaker B: Is, Is Gerd contagious? Is it Gerp. [00:02:11] Speaker C: Gerd, Is it contagious? [00:02:14] Speaker B: Maybe pass it to the microphone. [00:02:16] Speaker C: All right. How are you doing with your. I was, I was with some listeners the other night. [00:02:22] Speaker B: Oh. [00:02:24] Speaker C: And all they want to talk about and they want to know more about is your weight loss journey. [00:02:29] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:02:30] Speaker C: The audience is compelled to know what's going on. It's been a It's been a couple weeks. [00:02:35] Speaker A: Yep. [00:02:36] Speaker C: Since I saw you last. [00:02:38] Speaker A: It's just manic right now. I mean, I'm swinging three or four pounds in a day. [00:02:43] Speaker C: Right? Really? [00:02:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:45] Speaker C: Well, they say you should only weigh yourself in the morning when you wake up. [00:02:49] Speaker A: My Mrs. Said you should only weigh yourself once a week. Otherwise you're torturing yourself. And it's true. [00:02:54] Speaker C: So you're just. Every time you go to the bathroom, you're getting on the scale to see, like, if it changed. What are you nuts? [00:02:59] Speaker A: You're, like obsessive. [00:03:00] Speaker C: Like a. Like a. [00:03:02] Speaker A: Because I like to achieve. [00:03:04] Speaker C: Narcissist. Narcissist. [00:03:05] Speaker A: No, I'm not narcissism. I know. I'm an ugly old bastard and my modeling days are over. My. I'm. I'm achievement obsessed. [00:03:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:16] Speaker A: I have to be achieving. [00:03:18] Speaker C: Achieving something. [00:03:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:20] Speaker C: Even if it's modest success. [00:03:22] Speaker A: Yep. [00:03:22] Speaker C: Right. Like, even if it's just completing your checklist for the day. [00:03:25] Speaker A: Yep. And so, you know, achieving this weight loss is a big thing for me, and therefore I'm going to monitor it [00:03:31] Speaker C: and you're going to achieve. I have no doubt, knowing you all these years, that whatever this goal is, whatever this number is, you're going to achieve that goal. [00:03:38] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:03:39] Speaker C: Because you're so achievement obsessed. What are you eating? I saw you said you ate a hot dog today. [00:03:45] Speaker B: That. [00:03:45] Speaker C: I don't know. Any diet that calls for hot dog. [00:03:48] Speaker A: It's my one a week. You gotta. You can't set impossible standards. You gotta set achievability. [00:03:57] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you allow yourself to indulge. And your indulgence is a jewel $1 hot dog. [00:04:04] Speaker A: This was a weaner, not weaning. [00:04:07] Speaker B: Yeah. Where'd you go? [00:04:07] Speaker A: Red Hot. [00:04:08] Speaker B: You left her. Oh, yeah. [00:04:09] Speaker A: Okay. [00:04:09] Speaker C: Earlier today. [00:04:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:10] Speaker B: I didn't realize they were open this early. [00:04:13] Speaker C: So you were here and then you ran over to Red Hots. [00:04:15] Speaker A: Yep. [00:04:16] Speaker C: Did you offer to get him anything? [00:04:17] Speaker A: Yes, he did. [00:04:19] Speaker C: He's a generous guy. [00:04:20] Speaker A: He demurred. [00:04:21] Speaker B: I demurred. [00:04:22] Speaker C: Demurred. [00:04:22] Speaker B: Yep. I'm a demure. [00:04:24] Speaker C: You made the healthy choice. [00:04:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:26] Speaker C: To not eat a hot dog. Now, I was in the thrift this morning. [00:04:31] Speaker B: Oh. [00:04:31] Speaker C: Picked up a new Hootie and the Blowfish CD for my car. [00:04:34] Speaker B: Oh, really? [00:04:35] Speaker C: On the way over. It was excellent. The original album. [00:04:37] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. What was it? [00:04:39] Speaker C: They're gonna be at the Smoke out this summer. [00:04:40] Speaker A: God, they were shy. You really? [00:04:42] Speaker C: I didn't like them then. No. But like, you know, you couldn't help but hear it all the time. And I think that sucks. That sucks. But you know, I secretly liked it. [00:04:49] Speaker A: Hootie. Dave Matthews Band. That was dark times. [00:04:53] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. If you like the men, then yeah, you were a piece of. But now I feel like it's okay. [00:05:00] Speaker B: Hooting. The Blowfish was forced on me when I was a kid. And I did. I rejected it. [00:05:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:04] Speaker B: I didn't like the music to begin with. [00:05:05] Speaker C: You did? [00:05:06] Speaker B: Everybody like. I did not. [00:05:07] Speaker C: You just can't admit. [00:05:08] Speaker B: No, I didn't like. [00:05:09] Speaker C: Those are great songs. [00:05:10] Speaker B: I wasn't a fan. And I think I wanted Offspring, an Offspring CD for my birthday. [00:05:15] Speaker C: Yeah. Because Offspring's cool. [00:05:16] Speaker B: Yeah. And I was given Hootie and the Blowfish instead. [00:05:21] Speaker A: I had a similar experience where I really wanted Bon Jovi. Slippery when Wet. [00:05:25] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a good one. [00:05:26] Speaker A: Grandma bought me a Spandau Ballet album. [00:05:28] Speaker C: Oh, that explains a lot. [00:05:32] Speaker B: What is that? [00:05:33] Speaker C: You know. So I went to the thrift and I was looking for a thermos for the hot dog game. We got to plan the hot dog game. I got to find the right plastic thermos. They won't allow metal thermos in there. [00:05:45] Speaker B: Really? [00:05:46] Speaker C: We can bring the hot dogs and do the hot dogs. [00:05:48] Speaker A: Well, most thermos. Thermi might have to bring him too. [00:05:51] Speaker C: Glass and plastic to document it. What? Glass and plastic? [00:05:55] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what a thermos is made of. [00:05:57] Speaker C: Well, the ones from the 80s and 70s, but like the ones now are all stainless steel. [00:06:01] Speaker A: If you're going to do it right, you better get a tartan one. [00:06:05] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, I know. Those are great. [00:06:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:06] Speaker C: You know what tartan one is? No, tartan. Tartan Fab. Not fabric. Tartan. What do you call it? [00:06:12] Speaker A: Pattern. [00:06:13] Speaker C: Yeah, pattern. Pattern. It's like a what? [00:06:15] Speaker A: Scottish people dressing. [00:06:16] Speaker C: It's like Scottish barberry. [00:06:17] Speaker B: Tarting and farting at the c. Yeah. [00:06:19] Speaker C: Like a kilt is tart. And you'll hopefully indulge in a hot dog that day. Yeah. [00:06:25] Speaker B: All right. Time it around. Yeah. The once a week. [00:06:28] Speaker C: Yeah. So is it always on Monday you have this hot dog. [00:06:32] Speaker B: Today's Wednesday. [00:06:33] Speaker C: Wednesday I'm. [00:06:34] Speaker A: I'm off generally. Yeah. Cuz I get here early and it's [00:06:38] Speaker C: Wednesday that you set. [00:06:40] Speaker A: I keep forgetting to bring a cheese sandwich. That's the issue. [00:06:44] Speaker B: That's what? [00:06:45] Speaker C: Cheese sandwich is not healthy. You may be losing weight here with this hot dog cheese sandwich diet, but it's not. You're not living healthfully. Healthily. [00:06:54] Speaker B: Healthily. Healthily, yeah. [00:06:57] Speaker C: Healthfully or healthily? [00:06:58] Speaker A: Cheese sandwich, bread and cheese. [00:07:00] Speaker C: I'M sure it's shit white bread and no Land O' Lakes. White or orange whole grain bread and [00:07:10] Speaker A: I don't know, extra sharp cheddar, whatever that is. [00:07:13] Speaker C: I mean there's no nutrients in there at all. [00:07:15] Speaker A: Probably not, no. [00:07:18] Speaker C: Are you feeling better? Having lost. Now last time we were a couple weeks ago, you were down 10, wasn't he? Seven or 10? [00:07:25] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it was around 10. [00:07:27] Speaker C: 10. We're two weeks later. I don't want to put you on the spot and maybe you don't want to reveal this, but what's the number now? What are you down? [00:07:33] Speaker A: Somewhere around the 13 mark. [00:07:35] Speaker C: That's excellent. [00:07:36] Speaker B: Do you feel like you have more energy? [00:07:37] Speaker C: It's harder to lose it the longer the time goes on with the more [00:07:39] Speaker B: bike riding that you do. [00:07:42] Speaker A: Yeah, it's definitely better. I mean, I'm kicking myself for not getting fit last year. [00:07:47] Speaker C: Well, who cares? [00:07:48] Speaker B: Doing it no time like the present. [00:07:49] Speaker A: Yeah, no, but then my knee got old Jeffed up and it made it hard. [00:07:52] Speaker C: How's that feeling? [00:07:53] Speaker A: That's better. [00:07:54] Speaker C: Better because you think cuz you're down weight a little? [00:07:56] Speaker A: No, because I'm getting. I'm doing like five miles a bike every day. Yeah, and the exercise stuff. [00:08:03] Speaker C: So you're generally feeling better, but you won't allow yourself to feel good because as soon as you start feeling good, something feels wrong and you have to implode that and say, well, I, I. But I'm mad I didn't do it last year. [00:08:13] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:08:16] Speaker B: You just turned my Siri on. [00:08:18] Speaker C: I did? [00:08:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:19] Speaker C: Really? What did I say? [00:08:20] Speaker B: Implode. That's a weird way to do it. [00:08:23] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, you're looking. I didn't really get a look at you when you were sitting down, but you're, you're looking. Well, your colors stand up and give us a twirl. Your hair is the same though. That's not changing, despite the weight loss. But I don't see you gimping around either. I don't think you say that. Gimping? [00:08:43] Speaker B: Yeah, gimping. [00:08:44] Speaker A: Stole. [00:08:44] Speaker B: I have to bleep that out. [00:08:46] Speaker C: Why? Gimping means what? [00:08:48] Speaker B: I don't know, it just. I don't think you can say that anymore. [00:08:52] Speaker C: Why? Because of the Pulp Fiction. Gimping is limping. [00:08:56] Speaker A: Did they ever reveal who the gimp was? [00:08:58] Speaker C: Oh, I don't know. You mean that was a mess. [00:09:01] Speaker B: The actor or the like in the movie? They don't. But do you mean the actor? [00:09:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:04] Speaker B: I'd be curious. Yeah, right. I've never thought of this. I wonder who it is. [00:09:07] Speaker A: I bet it's someone famous, right? Like, you know that there's a Tarantino fan. [00:09:13] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Probably Edward Norton. [00:09:17] Speaker C: Gimp law. [00:09:19] Speaker A: For years, I just mentally blanked that Eric Stoltz was the drug dealer. Just never. [00:09:26] Speaker C: He was. [00:09:27] Speaker A: It never fused into my brain. [00:09:30] Speaker C: What do you mean he was? [00:09:31] Speaker A: Yeah, he was. [00:09:31] Speaker C: But I'm saying you forgot it. [00:09:33] Speaker A: If you just said to me, you know, drug dealer, and Danielle, I would have gone, oh, I know he's sort of reddish. [00:09:41] Speaker C: Yeah, I think we had. I think we talked about this because remember I said he looks like Stoltz and you like. And then it came up that he was the drug dealer. He kind of looks like Stoltz. But listeners all want to know what you guys look like too. And I'm like, who are the two [00:09:53] Speaker A: women in the drug dealers den? Gone on the spot. [00:09:58] Speaker C: Roseanne Arquette. [00:09:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Is one. [00:10:00] Speaker C: I believe I knew that. [00:10:02] Speaker A: The second one is the harder one. [00:10:06] Speaker C: Lita Ford. [00:10:08] Speaker A: No, she's. She's one of this. She was one of the backing singers in the Suzanne Hopps Commitments, which is a weird one. [00:10:17] Speaker C: Yeah, that. About the Irish singing troupe. Yeah, you know. [00:10:21] Speaker B: No, the Cranberries. [00:10:23] Speaker C: Oh, is it Dolores O'Rearden? [00:10:25] Speaker A: No, no, I don't know what her name is. I just know she was. I was like, hey, that's the back end singer from the Commitments. Because no one was famous in the Commitments. [00:10:33] Speaker C: Oh, so. So I wouldn't. Nobody would know who the. This. [00:10:36] Speaker A: No, but you could have gone. It was the woman from the Commitment. [00:10:39] Speaker C: I don't sit around reading IMDb trivia all day like you. I got a job, you know, I got to do. Yeah, the house. [00:10:47] Speaker A: You have a full life, so do [00:10:50] Speaker C: go to for more information about having a full life and how you can have a full life. I do speaking engagements.

I'm assuming it's a joke. [00:11:08] Speaker C: I have a full life. [00:11:09] Speaker A: Yeah.

But they'll invite me to some stuff, like if it's like, a dinner or whatever. And I think they want me to pick up the check, you know, anyway, and so I'll find out.

We're doing the other one and then we're gonna do best of. [00:15:22] Speaker A: No, it makes sense. [00:15:24] Speaker B: How would we know what the other one is yet? [00:15:26] Speaker C: Wait, no, but the other one. Isn't the other one included in this best of? [00:15:29] Speaker A: No. [00:15:29] Speaker C: No. Okay, forget it. [00:15:30] Speaker A: Forget. [00:15:31] Speaker C: Oh, this is good for best of. This is like in memoriam. [00:15:37] Speaker B: Excellent work. [00:15:38] Speaker C: He's been doing excellent work. I'd even go so far as to say employee of the month put my [00:15:44] Speaker B: face on the wall. [00:15:45] Speaker C: You should have employee of the month here, by the way out there. [00:15:47] Speaker B: Dot com. [00:15:48] Speaker C: Wouldn't you just change that scan on him? Scan on him. Orky, you should. [00:15:53] Speaker B: We actually. We had. [00:15:54] Speaker C: We had play of the month. [00:15:55] Speaker B: I had a little picture frame up behind the bar and I would rotate for a while. [00:15:58] Speaker C: Employee of the month. [00:15:59] Speaker B: Yeah, it just got old after a while. It would be Jerrell and then Jordan and then whoever. I had a picture of that podcast. [00:16:09] Speaker C: All right, that was awesome. Oh, go down the rostrum and let everybody know who we're choosing from. [00:16:17] Speaker B: It's a long list. [00:16:18] Speaker C: I will. [00:16:18] Speaker B: First of all, our season two is ridiculous. It's awesome. Our season two. [00:16:22] Speaker C: It's like Twin Peaks, the Return. [00:16:23] Speaker B: Season one. What do we have, like, eight episodes and season two is, like, 37. [00:16:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:16:27] Speaker A: And we also didn't even do a recap of the first season. We did two 12 episodes. [00:16:34] Speaker B: Yeah, we were like, four months into season two. [00:16:36] Speaker C: All right. [00:16:36] Speaker A: Because when I looked on the spreadsheet, I was like, oh, that's weird. We did. We did, like, it started way later than I thought. And then I looked it up, and I was like, no, we. We did the recap of season one 12 weeks after the bastard finish. [00:16:51] Speaker B: No, we're good at this. We're really good. [00:16:54] Speaker C: Well, we don't set parameters. [00:16:56] Speaker B: We don't limit ourselves. We don't know. We're not like other podcasts that have to live within these boundaries. [00:17:01] Speaker C: Yeah. We're not delivering. [00:17:02] Speaker B: We take a lot of artistic license, and that's what our listeners look for. [00:17:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:06] Speaker B: From us. [00:17:06] Speaker C: Yeah. They just never know what they're gonna get. [00:17:08] Speaker B: No, no, they're. Yeah. It's very unpredictable. [00:17:10] Speaker C: Next season could be two episodes. [00:17:11] Speaker B: Yeah. We're breaking down walls. [00:17:13] Speaker C: If we have a falling out, you know that's gonna be it. [00:17:16] Speaker B: Oh, that would be juicy. [00:17:17] Speaker C: Season three ended after two episodes, but [00:17:19] Speaker B: then season four, the reunion tour. [00:17:22] Speaker C: Yep. Yep. All right, well, let's just so people know who we're choosing from. Do you want to read them or [00:17:27] Speaker B: do you want to read them? I'll read them. No, we're not going to read the whole list. This is a lot of names. [00:17:31] Speaker C: Quickly. [00:17:32] Speaker B: To be honest, I couldn't remember who half of them are. [00:17:34] Speaker C: Really? [00:17:34] Speaker B: Yeah. No clue. [00:17:35] Speaker C: Were you? [00:17:36] Speaker B: I had to look them up. [00:17:37] Speaker A: Were you. [00:17:37] Speaker C: Were you one of the Three Ring Circus by this point? [00:17:40] Speaker B: One of the Three Ring Circus. Oh, right. Oh, yeah, Absolutely. [00:17:42] Speaker C: He was. [00:17:43] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. [00:17:43] Speaker C: Joe Para. Sarah Silverman, Bo Burnham, Nikki Glazer, Randy Felt Face, Eliza Schlesinger, Caleb Huron, Andrew Santino, Doug Stanhope, Michael Chef, Ian Edwards, Anthony Jeselnik, Sam Kinison, Joan Rivers, Rodney Dangerfield, Leanne Morgan, Rory Scoville, John Mullaney, Marcelo Hernandez, Shane Gillis, Zach Galifianakis, Dr. Dirty, John Valby, Josie Long, Mitch Hedberg, Norm MacDonald, Todd Berry, Bill Burr, Ari Shaffer, Whitney Cummings, Jerry Seinfeld, Steph Tollev, Megan Gailey, Zarna garg, Patton Oswalt, Ms. Pat, Richard Prior, Pumail Nani, Dina Hashem, and the great Stephen Lynch. I read those. Well, like a graduation. [00:18:30] Speaker B: It's It's Miz Pat. Oh, Miss you guys. Al, you say Miss all the time. [00:18:35] Speaker C: Miss it should be M I Z. If it's. [00:18:37] Speaker B: You're really going to say, it would be Ms. Period. Is Miz. [00:18:40] Speaker C: Miz. [00:18:41] Speaker B: Yeah, Miz. [00:18:41] Speaker C: Not Ms. Miz. [00:18:43] Speaker A: All right. [00:18:44] Speaker B: Ms. Has two S's. [00:18:45] Speaker A: All right, so how are we going to get in? Same thing is season one, right. We present our top three, then we come to a consensus of who the winner is. [00:18:56] Speaker B: Yep. And then we do the. The bottom three. The bottom feeders. The worst. [00:19:00] Speaker A: Yep. [00:19:00] Speaker B: Then we come to a consensus of who the absolute worst comedian of season two was. [00:19:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:06] Speaker C: Oh. Oh. I don't think we're going to be in agreement on that. Maybe we won't. [00:19:12] Speaker B: Who knows? Last time they. I don't remember and I didn't bother to listen, but I think we matched up on some of them. [00:19:17] Speaker A: Yeah, there was no. [00:19:18] Speaker C: We matched up. [00:19:19] Speaker A: There was not a lot of. [00:19:19] Speaker B: Not a lot of debate back and forth. No. I'm hoping for more arguing this time. [00:19:23] Speaker C: Yeah. I also added a. In addition to the top three, an honorable mention. If you were struggling and you want to give an honorable mention, maybe you will. [00:19:30] Speaker A: Oh, I got my honorables. [00:19:32] Speaker B: Oh, I can do. I have an honor. Yeah, I got one in mind. [00:19:35] Speaker C: I think the last time we did this, Christian, you didn't even, like, know who the we had done, and you were just. You just sat there and just. Whoever popped in your head, you just said it. [00:19:44] Speaker B: Oh, is that right? [00:19:44] Speaker C: Is that right? [00:19:45] Speaker B: Is that what you gathered by going back and listen to the episode again? [00:19:47] Speaker C: I just. I'm trying to remember. Yeah, you're just, like, shooting from the hip today. Are you prepared for this? [00:19:53] Speaker B: No, not at all. [00:19:53] Speaker C: You've not chosen your top three. [00:19:55] Speaker B: I don't even know who we covered. Just right. [00:19:57] Speaker C: I just read. [00:19:57] Speaker B: I already forgot. [00:19:58] Speaker C: Okay, well, you'll come up with something. You know that. [00:20:00] Speaker A: Same all again. [00:20:03] Speaker C: Same all again. [00:20:04] Speaker B: No, my top three are the top three on that list. [00:20:06] Speaker C: The first three. [00:20:07] Speaker B: Yep. [00:20:07] Speaker C: Paris, Silverman, Burnham. [00:20:09] Speaker A: Yep. [00:20:09] Speaker C: But I thought we should guess who we. One person each person likes that will be on it. And you can just say yes or no. No. [00:20:16] Speaker A: All right. [00:20:16] Speaker C: Or no. Because then it reveals. [00:20:18] Speaker A: It's kind of pointless. It's a piece of piss. [00:20:20] Speaker C: All right, don't do that. Okay. Who wants. [00:20:22] Speaker A: If you want. [00:20:24] Speaker C: Nah. [00:20:25] Speaker A: No, because then you call me a fascist. [00:20:27] Speaker C: Yeah, because then it just takes it. Then it spoils the surprise. All right, so are we doing three, two, one? Like one. Being the best? [00:20:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:33] Speaker C: Oh, okay. Who wants to go first with their number three. Best or worst? [00:20:44] Speaker B: Best. [00:20:45] Speaker C: Three. Three best and then three words. [00:20:46] Speaker B: Yeah, so we're gonna pick the third. The third to the best. [00:20:50] Speaker A: Bronze, Silver. Gold. Okay, so are we doing. Are we gonna all do our bronze? All do our silver? [00:20:59] Speaker C: Do we just say them and then go and then we'll talk, or do we. This person say them and say why? [00:21:05] Speaker B: Of bronze. A round of silver, a round of gold. [00:21:07] Speaker A: All right, but we're not going to talk about why. Just going to do. No, we'll do that at the end when they're all. [00:21:13] Speaker B: Afterward. Okay, well, I think we should talk about why when we come to a consensus of who our favorites was, who our favorite collective is. [00:21:21] Speaker C: Yeah, okay. That's a good idea. [00:21:22] Speaker A: Bronze. [00:21:23] Speaker C: Bronze. And in third place for best comedian of season two, Norm MacDonald in his 19, I don't know, 8792 special half hour comedy hour, One Night Stand. [00:21:40] Speaker A: My bronze, John Mulaney for whichever one that was. [00:21:44] Speaker C: That was runaway. [00:21:47] Speaker B: That was. Come back, kid. [00:21:48] Speaker C: Come back, kid. [00:21:49] Speaker B: Yep, my bronze is Randy Felt face. [00:21:52] Speaker C: Oh, Randy. Making it into. Onto the. What do you call it? [00:21:58] Speaker B: Winner's circle. [00:21:59] Speaker C: Winner Circle. [00:21:59] Speaker A: Yep. One for the off. [00:22:00] Speaker C: Bring on to the podium. [00:22:02] Speaker A: Silva. [00:22:03] Speaker C: Silver. My silver. Winner is John Mulaney, the comeback kid. [00:22:09] Speaker A: Oh, Mulaney's already showing up big. [00:22:12] Speaker C: Do some cheering on the thing. [00:22:13] Speaker B: Yeah, let's see if I can mix them together. [00:22:17] Speaker A: Probably not. [00:22:19] Speaker C: You got DJ out. [00:22:20] Speaker A: All right, Silver for me. And this is a controversial one, I feel already. Whitney Cummings. [00:22:28] Speaker C: Oh, what? Out of all these comedians. [00:22:33] Speaker A: Oh, my God, that's getting into it. [00:22:36] Speaker C: That's. [00:22:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, we already have one match here. My silver is also John Mulaney and comeback kid. [00:22:45] Speaker C: John Mulaney made the podium in all three. [00:22:46] Speaker B: Yes, that's right. [00:22:47] Speaker C: He show plays. Showed or finished. [00:22:50] Speaker A: Yep. [00:22:50] Speaker B: All right. [00:22:51] Speaker C: Gold and. [00:22:52] Speaker A: And can I sing? You are gold. [00:22:57] Speaker C: I don't know that song. [00:22:57] Speaker B: You can if you want. Yeah. [00:22:58] Speaker C: Is that a British song? [00:23:00] Speaker A: Always believe in your asshole. [00:23:03] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:23:03] Speaker A: You have the power to know. [00:23:06] Speaker C: What's that from? [00:23:07] Speaker A: Indestructible Spanned out ballet. [00:23:10] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:23:11] Speaker C: Good callback. You were tone deaf, so I couldn't pick up the tune because of your tone. [00:23:15] Speaker A: It's like you're played at every Olympics. [00:23:17] Speaker C: You weren't just tone deaf. You're almost saying that like you were deaf. [00:23:20] Speaker A: All right. [00:23:21] Speaker C: And you never heard words restart. [00:23:23] Speaker A: Go, gold. [00:23:25] Speaker C: And our gold winner and best comedian of 2025. I don't remember the name of the special, but it was Caleb Heron. [00:23:37] Speaker A: I would have expected that. But just. I'll. I'll take your Caleb Heron and raise you to Zach Galifianakis. [00:23:45] Speaker B: Wow. All right. Yeah. My gold 20 of season two is Jerry Seinfeld's. I'm telling you for the last time. [00:23:54] Speaker C: Oh, wow. I should have read. [00:23:55] Speaker A: Oh. [00:23:56] Speaker C: Written these down. [00:23:57] Speaker A: We're all over the shop. [00:23:58] Speaker B: Yeah. All right. [00:24:02] Speaker A: All over the shop. [00:24:03] Speaker C: Ballic, where's my pen? [00:24:05] Speaker A: It's weird that I'm the only one that had a woman placing anywhere in the top three, though, isn't it? [00:24:09] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:24:10] Speaker B: I don't think it's weird. You, like, you're allowed to do that. [00:24:13] Speaker C: Where's my pen? [00:24:14] Speaker B: Eh? Like the pasta. You want this one over here? Oh, look at this one has writing on the side of it. [00:24:23] Speaker C: I had a nice pencil. [00:24:24] Speaker B: Hey, this is a good one. [00:24:26] Speaker A: I got one as well. [00:24:30] Speaker C: I got a back. [00:24:32] Speaker A: Oh, all right. [00:24:33] Speaker C: Let's say him again now, because it was so. I was so excited that I got nerd. I couldn't remember them. [00:24:39] Speaker B: All right, bronze. [00:24:42] Speaker A: Bronze. Mulaney. Silver Cummings. Gold. [00:24:45] Speaker C: Galith Cummings. I wonder if it's coming or it's coming. And Galifianakis. And. And one more time for you, Chris. [00:24:55] Speaker B: Bronze. Felt face. [00:24:57] Speaker C: Felt Silver. [00:24:58] Speaker B: Mulaney. Gold Seinfeld. [00:25:01] Speaker C: Seinfeld. All right. And mine were Norm Mulaney and Caleb Hero. [00:25:08] Speaker A: And how many honorables did we get? We said one or two. [00:25:11] Speaker C: I only did one. I mean, we could talk about some of the other guys and why they didn't make the list and if you want. But my honorable mention was just outside the. The podium. Zach Galifianakis. [00:25:24] Speaker A: If we got one honorable, mine's going to burn them. [00:25:28] Speaker C: Oh, Burnham. [00:25:29] Speaker B: Oh, all right. Yeah. My honorable would be Norm MacDonald. [00:25:33] Speaker C: Oh, thank you very much. [00:25:35] Speaker B: Validating my pick. You worked hard. [00:25:36] Speaker C: Now let's do that real quick if we can. Who had the most picks of favorite comedians? Meaning, like, whoever chose the special, they landed on the most top three lists. [00:25:48] Speaker A: Can you bring up the. [00:25:50] Speaker C: I did. I choose Mulaney. I think I did Norm. I definitely chose. [00:25:56] Speaker A: I thought you chose Mulaney. [00:25:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I chose Mulaney. [00:25:59] Speaker C: You did? [00:25:59] Speaker B: Yep. It's one of my favorites. [00:26:01] Speaker C: I definitely chose Norm. I didn't choose Burnt. Did I choose Burnham or you don't. [00:26:09] Speaker B: Let me see. I got the list in front. [00:26:10] Speaker C: I think he chose the most. [00:26:11] Speaker B: I. Yeah, I picked Burnham for sure. [00:26:13] Speaker C: But was he choosing all of them at this point? [00:26:14] Speaker A: At some point, yeah. [00:26:15] Speaker B: We took away. I feel like it's going to be skewed in my direction. [00:26:18] Speaker C: Okay, we'll forget that. [00:26:19] Speaker B: Yeah, I had a streak of. I mean, I can see in front of me here, like more than a dozen in a row. [00:26:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:24] Speaker C: Who chose Galifianakis? Was that me? You? Okay, fuck it then. Next time we'll do it. [00:26:29] Speaker B: Frick it. [00:26:30] Speaker A: My only choice was Cummings. [00:26:32] Speaker C: And he's on your list. [00:26:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:34] Speaker C: Okay. We're not doing worse stuff until we do all these best stuff. Right? Okay, well, Mulaney makes Oliver. Let's talk about him first. Right. Don't forget. Oh, how about this? [00:26:43] Speaker A: How did Maloney not gold on everyone when he is our current reigning. [00:26:48] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I know. It's an anomaly. [00:26:50] Speaker C: Well, you get, you know, you have time to think about that and you've seen more since then. Not that I don't think anyone we saw after him usurped his place on the list, but I've changed my opinion. [00:27:01] Speaker B: I know why. Because the Mullaney was judged by all of us as the reigning. All of us agreed that it was the best one so far, whereas I don't think we agreed unanimously that that was the best one so far. It. Two thirds of us, but not unanimous. [00:27:17] Speaker A: Yeah, so he's still. He's the unanimous. Golden Season two. There's no. [00:27:23] Speaker C: Because he wasn't number one on anybody's list, though. [00:27:26] Speaker A: Yeah, but it doesn't matter, does it? This is consensus, right? [00:27:29] Speaker C: Yeah, he. Yeah, he. He is consensus pick. He has not been unseated so much. Enjoy that. And I'm so looking forward to. To Saturday night seeing John Mulaney for the first time ever at Wrigley Field. [00:27:40] Speaker A: Oh, God. [00:27:41] Speaker B: Oh, that's Saturday. [00:27:42] Speaker A: Yeah, it's another one of those bloody annoying Wrigley Field live show. [00:27:46] Speaker B: Yeah, like. [00:27:49] Speaker A: No, no, but there'll be three or [00:27:50] Speaker C: four out of town. Yeah, because. Yeah, but I was. I was meditating yesterday and then I turned on my phone afterwards, and now on sale. John Mulaney batting practice at the. I know you don't want to hear about the den. He did a bat. He's doing a batting practice show at the den. And it sold out, like, immediately. Was he. Is he. Is he a lodge guy, though? [00:28:14] Speaker A: I mean, I've got footage of him at the lodge. [00:28:16] Speaker C: Yeah, he should be in here. [00:28:19] Speaker A: Well, don't even start me. [00:28:21] Speaker C: Well, listen, you don't have to worry about me. When I make it, I'm gonna. All I'm gonna do is talk about the lodge. [00:28:26] Speaker A: Don't even start me. [00:28:28] Speaker B: We've got broken lights in the podcast studio. He's not coming here. [00:28:34] Speaker C: And that thing's falling down. All right, well, listen, we don't need to go over why we love John Mulaney again, but, geez, this guy is on top of the comedy world, right? Doing the first ever comedy show at us out at Wrigley Fields. I'm sure they've had outdoor comedy shows at big stadiums, right? [00:28:52] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:28:53] Speaker C: Other comedies. [00:28:54] Speaker B: Fenway Park. I know. Does it. Because Bill Burr was there. [00:28:56] Speaker C: He did Fenway Park. [00:28:57] Speaker B: Yeah. And I've seen Bill Burr and Nate Craig at Red Rocks. Really? Yeah. [00:29:02] Speaker C: Wow. Wow. N. Craig. [00:29:05] Speaker B: So I know. [00:29:05] Speaker C: It's pretty big. [00:29:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:07] Speaker C: Is he. [00:29:08] Speaker A: Oh, he sent me a text the other day. [00:29:10] Speaker C: Yeah. What does he want? [00:29:11] Speaker A: He wants to get his tickets on sale early because he's blowing up viral [00:29:16] Speaker C: right now for here. [00:29:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:17] Speaker C: See, there's a comedian that's made it big that. That, you know, knows. Recognizes the. His roots. [00:29:23] Speaker B: Yes. [00:29:24] Speaker C: The role. [00:29:25] Speaker B: The Lodge has a sense of loyalty. Yeah. [00:29:27] Speaker A: And that's why I didn't respond to the text. [00:29:29] Speaker C: And you haven't responded. [00:29:30] Speaker A: No. [00:29:30] Speaker C: Well, he knows. [00:29:31] Speaker A: I will do later. [00:29:32] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. But could this guy be any hotter right now? John Mulaney, sober, big time, selling out stadiums. [00:29:41] Speaker B: This is the hottest he's ever been. [00:29:42] Speaker C: I'd say it's the hottest he's ever been. [00:29:44] Speaker B: I haven't heard any of his material in a very long time. [00:29:46] Speaker A: Has he tried to transfer the film yet? [00:29:49] Speaker C: Like, not really. [00:29:51] Speaker A: Burrs had a crack at it. Now, not made it stick. [00:29:54] Speaker C: Film or telly? No telly to speak of, either. Like, sitcom for John Mulaney. [00:29:58] Speaker A: Well, I mean, he must be so minted. He doesn't need the money. Challenge. [00:30:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:04] Speaker C: I always wonder, these guys make so much money. How much more money can they make? Like Taylor Swift with this wedding, and then, like, she's going to make more money off of that. [00:30:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:12] Speaker C: Come on. How much? How much? You have more money than you spend in 50 lifetimes. What the fuck are you going to do with it all anyway? All right, John Mulaney makes the list. We'll talk about some of the other picks on the list. That and why you put them in the top three. Do you want to. First of all, I don't know why you didn't put Norman. We. We love Mulaney. If you don't recognize Norm MacDonald is one of the great comedians or the greatest specials out of these 40 specials, and I don't feel like, you know, comedy. Like, how can you not look at that and. And say, this isn't the best comedy there is? I'm talking to You. [00:30:49] Speaker A: It just didn't nail me to the cross. [00:30:53] Speaker C: Okay, well, Christian and I, we know comedy, and we were able to recognize that. [00:30:57] Speaker A: So was he. Norm wasn't in one of your top three? [00:31:00] Speaker B: No, he was my honorable mention. [00:31:01] Speaker C: Oh, I thought he was your top three. [00:31:02] Speaker B: No. [00:31:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:03] Speaker C: Not honorable mention. [00:31:04] Speaker A: There's not. In fact, there's only one name that's on all lists. [00:31:08] Speaker C: Mulaney. [00:31:10] Speaker A: Is there a name that's on two? [00:31:12] Speaker C: No. I had. I had Galfinax's honorable mention, too. Yeah. [00:31:17] Speaker A: So no one. There's no two. [00:31:18] Speaker C: No. [00:31:19] Speaker B: No. [00:31:20] Speaker A: So we can't arrive at a second. Well, it doesn't matter. We've got the one. [00:31:23] Speaker C: Yeah. All right. I thought about Randy Felt Face. He was probably in my top five. They really enjoyed that. But. But time away from the special. That seems like years ago for Andy Fell Face. [00:31:34] Speaker B: It does. The Joe Peroan seems like. [00:31:36] Speaker C: Yeah. I couldn't believe Joe Pero was in season two. [00:31:39] Speaker A: I did struggle a bit with saying, oh, I'm gonna gravitate towards the more recent ones, because there in your head. [00:31:47] Speaker C: Yeah. Did we on these. I guess Mulaney was a while ago [00:31:53] Speaker B: and, you know, it also. It depends on. Each of us are probably coming at these lists differently with different reasons for our picks. Like, for instance, my pick for Randy Felt Face was because it was something different I'd never seen before. [00:32:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:07] Speaker B: It wasn't because I thought it was the funniest special out of season two. It was one of the ones that made an impact. [00:32:13] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's no. There's no rubric for how we rated these. [00:32:18] Speaker B: Right. [00:32:18] Speaker C: I mean, maybe there needs to be, but, like, you look, we looked at prior. [00:32:22] Speaker B: There should be. No, I think. I think that's the spice of it. You know, whatever you feel. Right. Different reasons for our picks. And then we get to. [00:32:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:31] Speaker B: Discuss it for the masses. [00:32:32] Speaker A: There's no point arguing the toss about who's second and third, because we're all over the place. [00:32:37] Speaker C: No, but I want to know why. God, tell me why you would even put Whitney Cummings in the top 20. [00:32:44] Speaker A: What? [00:32:45] Speaker C: Yeah, Whitney Cummings. I don't remember him being so in love with her. Her act when we reviewed it. Did you hide that away? [00:32:53] Speaker B: Which one was she? The one with the one that. [00:32:56] Speaker C: Yeah, the sex robot. [00:32:57] Speaker B: Okay. [00:32:57] Speaker A: Yeah. I said at the time it was very smart, intelligent material, and it had a twist at the end and everything. It was. It was. It was. It was a cut above. [00:33:08] Speaker C: It was cut above. [00:33:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:11] Speaker C: But. But it wasn't funny. Are you just Talking about the robot being like. [00:33:15] Speaker A: No, it was funny. [00:33:16] Speaker C: The ingenuity of that. It was. You laughed. Yeah, I don't remember that. I think you're just being. You're just pushing my buttons by putting her in there. [00:33:26] Speaker B: No, again, this is why we all have our own reasons. [00:33:29] Speaker C: I don't really think you like Whitney Cummings. I don't know, you can't. Maybe you're attracted to her on some level. Is it because she, you know, arouses? [00:33:38] Speaker B: Is that the case? [00:33:39] Speaker C: You like to bait me into talking about your attraction to women. Are you just hot for Whitney Cummings? She's a. She's, she's attractive, you know, purposes. A good looking woman. Is that it? Because I don't think she's funny and I know your sense of humor. She's not Maria Bamford kind of funny. She's not that kind of left field. Like, this is art. It's just, you know, right down the middle, blonde woman, you know, playing up her, you know, her sexuality. [00:34:08] Speaker A: Go back and watch that again. [00:34:09] Speaker C: Remember we talked about identity comedy for that episode or lots of episodes, and we identified her as an identity comic. She did the same act the whole time about. What was it about? It was about her sex appeal. [00:34:21] Speaker B: About. [00:34:22] Speaker A: She had a theme, but it's not an identity. Identity comic is like, hey, I'm an Italian, that's fucking her was about sex. Sex isn't an identity, it's a topic. [00:34:35] Speaker C: Yeah. Or men. Like it was all about men and why they're shitty and don't like her, don't appreciate her and she's hot. [00:34:42] Speaker A: Why are you rolling your shoulders? [00:34:43] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:34:44] Speaker A: You've got tits. [00:34:44] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:34:45] Speaker B: I like it. Yeah, I think it's working for you. [00:34:49] Speaker C: It is weird. I don't know, it's just. I started doing it. I, I don't, I don't mean to grill you here, but I just don't, you know, you being the connoisseur of comedy that you are, you run this program here for many years, you know, you know, real talent. I'm not. And I remember during the special, I didn't say she's not talented, she's a good comedian. But there is no new ground being broken there other than the robot at the end, which was a cool thing. Her comedy is not like the other types of comedy that you like. A Maria Bamford. Who's the guy we like? The British guy? Stuart Little. Stuart Lee. [00:35:26] Speaker B: Stuart Lee, right. [00:35:27] Speaker C: Like none of this, this is just ho hum, middle of the road, American Comedy. [00:35:34] Speaker A: Nope. [00:35:35] Speaker C: Okay, that's. That's your. That's your in depth analysis. [00:35:40] Speaker B: It looks like since there's a common thread with Mulaney, then that is the. The comic that we can all agree on is maybe the best of season two. [00:35:49] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:35:50] Speaker B: Once again getting another award. [00:35:52] Speaker C: But I want to know why some of these people were chosen. [00:35:55] Speaker B: Yep. All right. I can tell you exactly why. Mine. Seinfeld's always been my favorite. Mulaney's right beneath them and felt faced with something new. Yeah. [00:36:02] Speaker C: It was felt based. [00:36:03] Speaker B: Two easy picks. And then the third one was a. As I've already described, a. A movement pick. [00:36:09] Speaker C: Yeah. McDonald. You're just trying to. [00:36:11] Speaker B: Well, McDonald, I love Norm MacDonald, but it wasn't something new. I wanted to have something different in there. [00:36:16] Speaker C: Oh, Jerry Seinfeld. He's new. Yeah. [00:36:18] Speaker B: But I picked Seinfeld because he's my favorite. Mulaney because that's my second favorite. [00:36:22] Speaker C: So you just picked not based on the performance or the. Or the special necessarily, just who you [00:36:25] Speaker B: like, which specials I enjoyed the most. Yep. [00:36:27] Speaker C: Well, I would have picked Norm if it was just picking my favorite comedian. I'm evaluating these specials based on their ingenuity, their promise for the future. Right. Not just picking out the great, you know, old timers and great assists. And Caleb Huron, to me, is the future of comedy. It is all your. All the things. You assail me for not being bandying [00:36:49] Speaker A: around this phrase, future of comedy. [00:36:51] Speaker C: Why? [00:36:51] Speaker A: Because I trademarked. Yeah, I have. [00:36:53] Speaker C: Oh, you do? That's your trade. You have that trademark. [00:36:56] Speaker A: No, I don't have a trademark. [00:36:57] Speaker B: The future of Comedy dot com, but I have my. [00:36:59] Speaker A: The Lincoln Lodge. Paw prints are all over it. [00:37:01] Speaker C: No, I didn't know that. It's Parks. [00:37:03] Speaker B: It's a website. [00:37:04] Speaker A: You see, it's on that banner in the base. [00:37:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. Yep. There's a banner. [00:37:10] Speaker A: We got into it with some young upstart when we started the Future of Comedy Festival three years ago. Some young upstart said, hey, I've been using that as the name of a show. [00:37:23] Speaker C: And I was like, well, talk to my lawyer. [00:37:26] Speaker A: Well, sonny Jim, I've been using that for over 15 goddamn years. [00:37:30] Speaker B: So Whistle Dixie kick rocks, you hoser. [00:37:34] Speaker C: Yeah, but you got no claim to that future. [00:37:35] Speaker A: I've got claim to it. [00:37:37] Speaker B: Neither do they. And if anything, they've got less because they didn't think of it 15 years ago. [00:37:42] Speaker C: What about the old one? [00:37:43] Speaker B: The future is now. [00:37:43] Speaker C: Fresh mugs of comedy. Whoever used that, you did in the. With the Chicago Comedy Fest. [00:37:50] Speaker A: We Started. No, I've never used that. [00:37:51] Speaker C: Fresh mugs. [00:37:52] Speaker A: We started off with the Lincoln Lodge. You'll like the variety. That was our first tagline. [00:38:00] Speaker C: I don't get it. Is it something I'm missing? [00:38:02] Speaker A: You'll like the variety. [00:38:05] Speaker C: What? That's awful. [00:38:06] Speaker A: You'll like the variety. [00:38:09] Speaker C: What am I missing here? [00:38:11] Speaker B: I don't know. You'll like the variety. [00:38:12] Speaker C: Meaning, like we have a variety show. You like the variety. [00:38:16] Speaker A: You like what you're seeing. You like. You like it. Chop changes. [00:38:20] Speaker C: You know it. Now what? It's future comedy. [00:38:23] Speaker A: Now it's the future of comedy. [00:38:24] Speaker C: So you don't have old comedians in here that aren't the future of comedy. [00:38:27] Speaker A: You could still be old and be the future. [00:38:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:31] Speaker B: Speaking of the future, my sister just text me all caps, Lincoln Lodge bathroom signs. So, yeah, so she says she's gonna have them shipped by the 31st of this month. She set a deadline. [00:38:44] Speaker A: Promises, promises. [00:38:46] Speaker B: Yes. [00:38:47] Speaker C: What's this about now? [00:38:48] Speaker B: My sister does wood burning. Do you know the sign that's behind the bar up there that says no bits at the bar? Yeah, she made that. She's got a little wood burning business that she has formed herself and she's been commissioned. Mark asked her, well, through me a long time ago to make some bathroom signs and, you know, she's very busy. [00:39:06] Speaker C: What are they gonna say? The signs? Lads and glasses. [00:39:09] Speaker B: Yeah. I think we came up with an idea. Didn't we have. She'd sent me a prototype. It's basically like a hand pointing this way. [00:39:16] Speaker C: Oh, like old timey. Like that, that. Like this way. Like the gents this way. [00:39:21] Speaker B: Like the Kimball stop. You know, the brown line stop downtown. Now they have the old sign. Yeah. Directing you where to go with hands pointing this way. [00:39:29] Speaker A: Additional women's. Additional men. [00:39:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:31] Speaker C: That's too much writing. Gals. Can we switch? [00:39:34] Speaker B: Yeah. We should have something unique. [00:39:35] Speaker C: Yeah. Gals and lads or lads, gals and gents. Gents. [00:39:39] Speaker A: Lame. [00:39:40] Speaker B: That is lame. What? [00:39:42] Speaker C: Gals. [00:39:42] Speaker B: We can do better than that. [00:39:43] Speaker C: Oh, because you don't want to run afoul of, you know, you should just say bathroom. [00:39:48] Speaker A: No, I just. When some people do that, it's like when you go balloo in a pub and it's like. [00:39:53] Speaker B: Can you still say birds, Hombres. Yeah. [00:39:56] Speaker A: Chiquitas or whatever. [00:39:58] Speaker C: That's kind of lame. You're right. But, but something maybe, you know, something to your British, you know, roots, dicks and fannies. The laugh. [00:40:07] Speaker A: No, because then you can't say genitals and you really get in trouble. [00:40:11] Speaker B: Well, for the two bathroom specifically, you can. [00:40:13] Speaker A: What about if we just have a [00:40:14] Speaker B: sign that says, [00:40:17] Speaker A: if you identify as [00:40:19] Speaker C: this, then go with a picture of [00:40:22] Speaker B: a penis and it'll be the size of the entire wall? [00:40:25] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:40:26] Speaker C: If you identify as this. [00:40:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:28] Speaker C: Good luck with that. All right, well, that's cool. [00:40:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:32] Speaker C: Now I'm gonna think of what word burning thing. She. [00:40:34] Speaker A: Hang on, hang on. What was your thing? Caleb Heron. [00:40:36] Speaker C: Caleb Heron is the future of comedy. Listen, he's. I think he's the best and brightest working today. [00:40:41] Speaker A: And then. And then. Who's the other one? [00:40:42] Speaker C: John Mulaney. Norm MacDonald. [00:40:46] Speaker A: Oh, yes. [00:40:46] Speaker C: He really wants Zach Alphenack. Yeah. All right. I put you on the spot about the Cummings you picked. [00:40:55] Speaker A: I had Caleb hearing on my short list, honorable men. [00:40:59] Speaker C: You did. You didn't make it, though. [00:41:00] Speaker A: Didn't make it. [00:41:02] Speaker C: You have Bo Burnham on your. We all hated that. I thought. [00:41:06] Speaker B: I love it. You did? Yeah. I don't remember what I thought about it the second time. [00:41:12] Speaker A: No, I said I really liked it because I'd been dreading it. I'd always pushed him off to the side as like, oh, he's just some college kid. And I really liked it. [00:41:23] Speaker C: Really. [00:41:23] Speaker A: Now, that was innovative. [00:41:25] Speaker C: It was innovative, sure, but innovative. [00:41:27] Speaker B: We were just talking about this last night. Somebody was saying Kenya, she. I think it was Kenya. Yeah. Kenya was saying how she's been saying innovative just to piss her sister. [00:41:36] Speaker C: She's been around him. I love nobody I ever. [00:41:39] Speaker A: I love the word innovative. [00:41:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:42] Speaker C: How about innovative? [00:41:44] Speaker A: Nah. In fact, I put that on all the ticket listings. The most innovative. Excitement. Innovative and exciting. Comedy. [00:41:54] Speaker B: Innovative. [00:41:56] Speaker A: Put those two words on any given poster or flyer. You, exiting. [00:42:01] Speaker B: Innovative and exiting. [00:42:02] Speaker A: Yep. They're the. They'll put bombs on seats. [00:42:07] Speaker B: I asked her to call in and talk about the signs, but she said she's scared. [00:42:10] Speaker A: All right. [00:42:11] Speaker C: If you want to use a quote from me, you can on your. [00:42:14] Speaker A: In your marketing, destroy everything. [00:42:17] Speaker C: No. Whatever I say. Then you could underneath you put Bill o', Donnell, inventor of alternative comedy. [00:42:27] Speaker A: I thought Caleb Heron invented it. [00:42:28] Speaker C: No, he's carrying the torch, but I invented it. Yeah, that's Bridenstein. It's in the book. Me and Chet Loquacious. [00:42:38] Speaker B: Mark, do you have anything Telling you what it says? Do you have anything you want to say about your picks? Before we move on to the worst, [00:42:44] Speaker C: I want to know why you picked. [00:42:45] Speaker A: I don't need to defend anything here. [00:42:48] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. [00:42:49] Speaker C: Cummings, you needed to defend. [00:42:52] Speaker A: We all loved. We all said it was started off great and then became a train and that's great. So it was 10. It was 15 years overdue. Me watching it. That's part of it. [00:43:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:43:02] Speaker A: It's a guilt part of. He's a guilt pic of never having watched. [00:43:06] Speaker C: Yeah. Did you see him perform when he was at the Comedy Fest here? [00:43:12] Speaker A: No. No, I never saw anyone because I was running around. I. I'm gonna be honest with you, I struggled to really pick out [00:43:22] Speaker B: a [00:43:22] Speaker A: top three here because I got a list that had it start. My first list was Burnham here on Stanhope. The three I picked Kamale and Dina Hashem. [00:43:35] Speaker C: And then you had Camille in your top. [00:43:36] Speaker A: And then. Then I kind of realized, like, hang on, this is. I'm just picking stuff from recent. [00:43:42] Speaker B: Yeah, right. Remembering what you liked recently. [00:43:45] Speaker A: It's like the BBC would always do the. Every 10 years or whatever. They do. Like a best songs of the last 20 years. And like, the top five would be literally still in the fucking chart. Right. [00:43:57] Speaker B: It's the last thing they heard. [00:43:59] Speaker A: Yeah. And you'd be like, what was the point of this? [00:44:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:03] Speaker A: So we're not. Struggled a bit. [00:44:05] Speaker C: We're not gonna do it. But I'd like to. It'd be interesting to go down this list. Just say to you, like, I'll say the name and then you say yes. No, like good or bad. Instead of like this ranking and the way we, you know, rated them on scales of whatever we did that week. You're like, pass, fail. Yes. No, I'd like to binary. Binary choices. [00:44:24] Speaker B: Joe. [00:44:25] Speaker C: Para. [00:44:25] Speaker A: No, binary. I can't even remember what I thought of some of these. Isn't it in that Excel? [00:44:31] Speaker B: No, it doesn't. Oh, the ratings say what we thought. [00:44:34] Speaker A: I thought I was going to add that a while. [00:44:35] Speaker B: Maybe we should start doing. [00:44:36] Speaker A: I was going to put like, green [00:44:38] Speaker C: light, call people on their. Because I feel like he's switching his. His ratings. [00:44:42] Speaker B: Yeah, you're pissed. [00:44:43] Speaker C: You're shaking. Well, because these. [00:44:45] Speaker A: You can't. [00:44:46] Speaker C: You can't say one thing one week and then come back the next week and put them in your top. [00:44:49] Speaker B: Starting to sweat. [00:44:49] Speaker A: Go back and look. I give Kamael for Nanjani's. [00:44:54] Speaker C: Yeah. If I was gonna say a couple names and you just say yes or no. Okay. Meaning like, pass, fail. Or do you want to say pass, fail. [00:45:01] Speaker A: Pass. Fail. [00:45:02] Speaker C: Ian Edwards, [00:45:05] Speaker A: pass. I think [00:45:08] Speaker C: Rory Scoville, pass. Shane Gillis, [00:45:14] Speaker A: pass. [00:45:15] Speaker C: Dr. Dirty, fail. Mitch Hedberg. [00:45:20] Speaker A: I think I failed it because the [00:45:23] Speaker C: special was a disaster. Ari Shafir, fail. Ms. Pat, I think I was neutral. Eliza Schlesinger, fail. Nikki Glazer, you do yours. [00:45:38] Speaker B: Everybody's. Everybody's tuning out of this podcast. [00:45:40] Speaker A: Yeah. This is why I enjoyed this. [00:45:43] Speaker B: Boring. [00:45:44] Speaker A: Yeah, you enjoyed it. [00:45:47] Speaker C: I do one for you, Leanne Morgan. [00:45:50] Speaker B: I don't remember who that is. [00:45:51] Speaker C: What? [00:45:51] Speaker A: Do as many as you want because I'm gonna cut this. [00:45:54] Speaker B: Why? [00:45:55] Speaker C: People like to want to know the reviews. [00:45:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Here. Here's the clap. So you know when to start again. All right, let's move on to the worst of. For season. He just. [00:46:03] Speaker C: He just clicked me, like, can I [00:46:04] Speaker A: just gain say what? [00:46:05] Speaker C: Like a film. [00:46:06] Speaker B: Wait, what? [00:46:07] Speaker A: You told you pointedly said people don't like the reviews and they turn off when they get to it. [00:46:12] Speaker C: Oh, when we talk about. Not the actual review. Not the talk. Yeah. [00:46:17] Speaker B: You guys gonna fight? [00:46:18] Speaker A: No. Let's get on with it. [00:46:20] Speaker B: All right. [00:46:20] Speaker C: Let's just end the show. I don't know why. Continue. Because the I say things and you should say they're gonna be cut out. [00:46:25] Speaker A: So the best is tedious. The worst is the bit I'm looking for. [00:46:29] Speaker B: Yeah, the worst is the best part of this. Pills. Bill's mad. [00:46:35] Speaker A: So what should we do? How we can't do gold, silver, bronze. Because that implies. [00:46:40] Speaker B: Right, Right. What are the worst? Three medals. [00:46:42] Speaker A: I know. I know what we can do. What fart is the third worst is. Is like the fart. Fart meaning fart piss. Right? [00:46:53] Speaker B: Fart piss. [00:46:55] Speaker A: If you farted in your trousers, you piss them. But if you. [00:47:01] Speaker B: That's the worst possible situation. [00:47:03] Speaker A: So fart piss. Shit. [00:47:05] Speaker B: Dane Cook would say shituation. [00:47:07] Speaker A: We shouldn't really swear so much. I'm such a foul mouth. Gotta swear. [00:47:11] Speaker B: Why shouldn't we swear so much? [00:47:12] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't want to say that stuff. [00:47:14] Speaker A: I gotta.

Dr. John Volby, whatever he called that performance. [00:47:59] Speaker C: Yeah. I'm not gonna say it because it's too crass. [00:48:01] Speaker B: Oh, is it? [00:48:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:02] Speaker B: Oh, wait. I had. I wanted to do a very ribble. Okay. I don't know. All right, here we go. No, it's your turn for F. [00:48:18] Speaker C: You get. You can play this and I can't talk. Ask you who you like. F. F. Anthony Giesel. Neck. [00:48:32] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that was a bad one. [00:48:33] Speaker A: All right, my F is Zag O. Zara. [00:48:37] Speaker C: Getting in there in the winner circle. [00:48:40] Speaker B: All right, my. What are we up to now? F and then P. Yeah. My P is Hernandez. Carlos. Was that his first name? [00:48:48] Speaker C: Marcelo. [00:48:49] Speaker B: Marcelo. Marcelo Hernandez. [00:48:53] Speaker C: That is my P. My P. Andrew Santino. White noise. [00:49:00] Speaker A: All right, my Pete, Turn that off. My P is also Hernandez. [00:49:05] Speaker B: Oh, really? Really? Hey. All right. [00:49:07] Speaker C: Is Brett Goldstein not in this. Turn that off. [00:49:10] Speaker B: The drum roll, please, for my. What do we have to get. [00:49:14] Speaker C: People can't even hear over this duck song. [00:49:17] Speaker B: You want to hear the. We'll save that for the end. Oh, all right. Well, screw it. I hit the wrong button. What are we up to? FPS? Okay. My S is. Oh, I'll do it on the gun. Steven Lynch. Yeah. Whatever that was. [00:49:38] Speaker C: Yeah. Piece of. Why are you looking at him? [00:49:43] Speaker A: I'm looking at the wall. Carry on. [00:49:45] Speaker C: I'm next. [00:49:46] Speaker A: Yep. [00:49:47] Speaker C: Mine is. I don't need a drum roll. Piece of Stephen Lynch. [00:49:51] Speaker B: All right. [00:49:52] Speaker C: Steven lynch is special. I'm a piece of shit. [00:49:54] Speaker B: So, man, this is leading up now to some. This is a tense moment. [00:49:57] Speaker A: The last one we. We reviewed. That's why you're making the worst. Fair enough. Worst ever. Leanne Morgan. [00:50:04] Speaker C: No, this is like the Cummings thing. [00:50:06] Speaker A: You're just gaslighting me, and it's on the goddamn wall. So I'm looking at Christian McCann going, why is Leanne Morgan not his FPS? [00:50:17] Speaker B: Well, because I made this certificate before we did Stephen Lynch. [00:50:21] Speaker C: You hated Leanne. [00:50:23] Speaker B: I'd rather watch the Leanne Morgan special again than that Steven lynch special. [00:50:26] Speaker C: I'd rather watch anything than. Than Stephen Lynch. I. I don't feel like you really. If you like Whitney Cummings, she's one step to the side of Leanne Morgan. They're both identity comics. They're both middle of the road. They're. You're just doing these. [00:50:45] Speaker A: I know. [00:50:46] Speaker C: Gaslight me. [00:50:46] Speaker A: I know. [00:50:47] Speaker C: It's like me picking Stuart Lee is the worst comedian. [00:50:49] Speaker A: We all know why you can't put Leanne Morgan in your top three. [00:50:53] Speaker C: I could have put her in my best. [00:50:55] Speaker A: We don't even have to talk about. [00:50:57] Speaker C: I could have put her in my best. I didn't. If I Was just trying to fluff my wife, if that's what you're intimating. [00:51:03] Speaker B: No, I don't think that's what he's saying. [00:51:04] Speaker C: I think that's exactly what he's saying. No, I found her to be. I think I said middle of the road. She would be in the middle of the pack here. She was. I think she did a nice job. We don't need to debate Leanne Morgan's act again. But you are. You can't think she's worse than Stephen lynch or some of these other people. [00:51:25] Speaker A: At least Stephen lynch knows how to play guitar. [00:51:28] Speaker C: Good God. I thought he played piano. [00:51:31] Speaker A: Lynch was in. That was Bobby lynch was in my honorable, dishonorable mention. [00:51:35] Speaker C: He was? [00:51:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:37] Speaker C: He made the disarmament mine. Who was your honorable, dishonorable? [00:51:40] Speaker B: Zarna Garg. [00:51:41] Speaker C: Garg. Yeah. I love Zara out of this. [00:51:45] Speaker B: Or Sam Kinison. I had him really on my list, too. Yeah, I just, I hated that one. [00:51:48] Speaker C: Yeah, I put old Doug Stanhope in. [00:51:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Not to rattle Mike. [00:51:55] Speaker C: No, no, because I thought we went over during the show. I thought that that bit about the old man, Rocky Marciano was, Was offensive. If you look at all my comedians son, Santino, Jeselnik, lynch, and Stanhope, they're all mean white men. I don't think the world needs another mean white man. Apparently you disagree, but that's your, that's your choice. [00:52:15] Speaker A: Well, my dishonorable was a toss up between Valby Lynch. [00:52:19] Speaker C: Valby Lynch. You see them as the same? Could be either one. [00:52:23] Speaker A: Oh, there it is. [00:52:26] Speaker C: Yeah. Keep that at the ready. [00:52:27] Speaker B: Yep. [00:52:30] Speaker C: All right. Well, none of you chose Santino or Jezel Neck. You like their ax? [00:52:34] Speaker A: I have Santino on my short list for dishonorable. [00:52:37] Speaker B: Which one was Santino? [00:52:39] Speaker C: Santino. Red hair, ginger fella. [00:52:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I looked him up. I remember I did. I hated that one, too. That's definitely on a short list. [00:52:45] Speaker C: Very. [00:52:45] Speaker B: That was awful. That sucked so bad. [00:52:48] Speaker A: Yeah. All right, well, I think we've got a. Oh, we've got a toss up really? For worst between lynch and Hernandez. [00:52:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, okay. So, yeah, let me think. Which one would I rather? I don't know. [00:53:02] Speaker A: See, lynch is on my dishonorable, so I guess he shades it. [00:53:07] Speaker B: Yeah. So is Hernandez on each of ours? [00:53:10] Speaker A: He's on ours too. [00:53:11] Speaker B: Okay. [00:53:12] Speaker A: He didn't pick him because he picked the special. [00:53:14] Speaker C: That's not why I, I, I picked Andrew Santino, and he's on my list. Yeah, I, I did not mind Marcelo Hernandez. I don't think he's a good stand up. But I. He's a nice kid. He's a nice personality. He's on the rise, so I'm not going to throw him on a worse list. Do that somebody. He's not mean like these other guys. If you're mean, you're getting on the worst list. You're a jerk. Put words in my mouth. [00:53:43] Speaker B: So we're going to be able to come up with a unit or not? Unanimous, but yeah. Lynch is. Lynch is taking. [00:53:47] Speaker C: You're the one that needs to be convinced. Okay. [00:53:50] Speaker B: Of who? Of Santiago. [00:53:51] Speaker C: Whether who's worse. No, not Santino. Who's worth Hernandez to you or Lynch. Lynch then. That lynch is the worst. [00:53:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:00] Speaker C: Okay. Oh, you already decided that. [00:54:03] Speaker B: Oh, are we doing the failed joke again? [00:54:05] Speaker C: What? [00:54:07] Speaker B: It's already been played. [00:54:08] Speaker C: Stephen lynch, the worst comedian of 2025, season two. [00:54:15] Speaker B: Yeah. A buzzer beater. A buzzer beater. Worst comedian. [00:54:20] Speaker C: Wow. [00:54:20] Speaker B: Barely made. What if we had done that one one week later, he would have been in season three. [00:54:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:25] Speaker C: Well, looking ahead to season three, I'm excited to get with you boys next week when we watch the new special from Chicago Zone. Well, maybe not. Chicago's the lodge zone. Peter Holmes. Silly funny boy. Silly fun boy. Funny funny boy. Right. [00:54:44] Speaker A: So do we stick a four? How do we do we do that [00:54:46] Speaker C: will begin season three. [00:54:47] Speaker A: Do we have. What do we do? Old Lang Syne or something? [00:54:50] Speaker C: Yeah, you got Old Lang Syne. [00:54:50] Speaker B: Oh, hold on a second. [00:54:51] Speaker C: He'll queue it up. I prefer the Fogelberg auld Lang sign. When he talks about meeting an old lover in a record store or in a grocery store. [00:55:01] Speaker A: You know, there's actually a punk Old Lang Syne. I used to play it at the Chuckle Bowl. [00:55:06] Speaker C: Is that right? [00:55:07] Speaker A: I had three versions of Old Lang Syne ready to go when I would [00:55:10] Speaker C: Chuckle volt chuckle fold this. [00:55:15] Speaker A: That's more of a rock. [00:55:16] Speaker C: This blows. Do the Fogelberg people don't. [00:55:19] Speaker B: How do you spell Folderberg? [00:55:20] Speaker C: F O L G E, R. [00:55:26] Speaker B: This is funk. [00:55:33] Speaker A: Sounds a bit Blink 182. [00:55:35] Speaker B: Yeah. This paranoid. [00:55:40] Speaker C: This is a live version of Fogelberg. [00:55:42] Speaker B: So many looks like it. [00:55:43] Speaker C: Oh, God. This is such a good song. I did this at karaoke. A couple life. You know, it's like you winters ago. [00:55:50] Speaker B: Those songs are few far between where [00:55:53] Speaker C: you touch a nerve. What is this? [00:55:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Why is there talking about a particular incident? [00:55:58] Speaker A: Did you get everyone to do that? The hand shandy. [00:56:04] Speaker C: What is this? The frozen woods And I watched her on the sleeve. Seven years have been a friend to me. [00:56:27] Speaker A: Jeez. [00:56:28] Speaker C: Yeah. That's a good one. [00:56:29] Speaker A: Only you would totally destroy the vibe in the room by singing a We had a colossal piece of. [00:56:43] Speaker B: God. As honest one.
