Speaker 1: Are you leaving?
Speaker 2: I you wanta way back home?
Speaker 1: Either way, we want to be there, doesn't matter how
Speaker 1: much baggage you claim and give us time and they
Speaker 1: terminol and gay. We want to send you off in style.
Speaker 1: We wanna welcome you back home. Tell us all about
Speaker 1: every scared or was it fine? Mal porn?
Speaker 3: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do you need to ride? Ride? Do you need with
Speaker 2: Karen and Chris welcome to Do you need a ride?
Speaker 3: This is Chris Fairbanks and this is Karen Kilgarrett. I
Speaker 3: just want to show off that I can sound like
Speaker 3: the cast and crew of Roadhouse.
Speaker 1: Now that really did sound like Sam Elliott, Patrick Swayze
Speaker 1: and a third tall guy combined. Right, Yeah, you nailed it.
Speaker 3: I am able to go very monster mash low or
Speaker 3: I can go very vibrato malk skin, heavy metal high
Speaker 3: and uh everything.
Speaker 1: Sing Elmstein a soprano no wow.
Speaker 3: But I can't go in the middle where I normally
Speaker 3: have a voice. I have what we call a classic
Speaker 3: cold in the business and not COVID.
Speaker 2: But it manned.
Speaker 3: Do they like I think we forgot how long the
Speaker 3: common cold lasts. And then when I did this rock
Speaker 3: and roll show, I was only to do able to
Speaker 3: do the two extremes of vocals, and I was forced
Speaker 3: to do guttural death metal screams or eighties glam high screams,
Speaker 3: and then every normal song that I was good at,
Speaker 3: the ones I was never worried about. I couldn't sing
Speaker 3: those all of a sudden, though it's weird. I was
Speaker 3: able to hit high notes. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So the show went well, No, no, I mean I went.
Speaker 2: I showed up.
Speaker 3: Everyone in the band learned all these instruments. They learned
Speaker 3: not the instruments, but they learned the instrumentation of the songs.
Speaker 2: They learned the songs, the songs.
Speaker 3: Using instruments, by the way, And then always yes, all
Speaker 3: I had to do. I printed out the lyrics and
Speaker 3: I was karaoke singing with a little bit of body movement.
Speaker 2: I had the easy job.
Speaker 3: So I bought a flight and showed up sick and
Speaker 3: did the show anyway. And during it, your body goes
Speaker 3: into this panic mode where it discovers new ways of
Speaker 3: singing while doing permanent damage, I'm sure.
Speaker 2: And then it went really well. It was really so
Speaker 2: it did go well.
Speaker 1: The answer is yes, yes, it did go well.
Speaker 3: The second show went well. First show, I stank and
Speaker 3: I felt bad and I slept in the fetal position.
Speaker 3: Second one, I found new places in my voice and
Speaker 3: rocked that house and melted faces amazing, and people gave
Speaker 3: me gifts like cinnamon rolls. Thank you, Amelia. Anyway, it's
Speaker 3: over now, and I just wanted to give you an update.
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's the energy that I like, not the story,
Speaker 1: but the energy behind it that I'm enjoying right right,
Speaker 1: looking down the entire time, well and like you're confessing something.
Speaker 2: No one, no one's seeing me. That's the thing I was.
Speaker 2: I was coming through with though. Plus there was that high.
Speaker 3: Scream, which I think people probably enjoyed. So after you
Speaker 3: do something like that, you gotta you gotta back out
Speaker 3: and get kind of you got it?
Speaker 2: Oh go inside.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get calm because I just did a heavy
Speaker 3: metal scream, so you got to pull back a little.
Speaker 1: I see it.
Speaker 2: I'm not a shock jock, right, I get that.
Speaker 1: You know what's weird is when you did the heavy
Speaker 1: metal high scream, it muted out your zoom and I
Speaker 1: didn't know what you were doing for three seconds, and
Speaker 1: then you came in strong and I got it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when we have today's guest on because he's a friend,
Speaker 3: you'd think it'd be just a relaxing like, oh, it's
Speaker 3: going to be easy, breezy. Here's someone I trust that
Speaker 3: I know we have mutual love and respect for each other.
Speaker 3: But I get nervous because and I don't mean that
Speaker 3: in an old guy way. Today's cast is a godfather
Speaker 3: of podcasting. I think podcasting and I've done no research
Speaker 3: started in two thousand and five. Maybe Jimmy was right
Speaker 3: there right at the beginning. I didn't think him and
Speaker 3: Adam Carolla, so he's the godfather of comedy podcasting. If
Speaker 3: you mentioned the other.
Speaker 1: Guy's name, that's not an intro. What are you doing?
Speaker 2: No, I'm so sorry. I'm really blown it today.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: I am very excited for Chase today, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: Boy, It's just I've been awful so far.
Speaker 1: What's happening?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought I was. I'm just giving that. Okay.
Speaker 3: You know him from clubs and colleges and cruise ships
Speaker 3: all across this great country, land or water. Everyone put
Speaker 3: your ears together for our guest today, mister Jimmy Pardo.
Speaker 2: Who.
Speaker 1: So exciting.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Karen. You can I just address two things up,
Speaker 2: not if you're going to roast to me? Where am
Speaker 2: I right? Are you? First podcast? I think it's okay.
Speaker 4: If you guys would have said, hey, Chris is not
Speaker 4: feeling well, we're gonna have to cancel. I think that
Speaker 4: would have been okay. It wouldn't have been upset. Maybe
Speaker 4: maybe in the right call. And if we were still
Speaker 4: doing it where like you drove people around, I would
Speaker 4: probably ask you to pull over and let me out.
Speaker 4: That's where we're at at this point. There's there's the
Speaker 4: roasting that I was promising. Probably yeah that I requested
Speaker 4: not happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah are you? Are you? Am I right? In those dates?
Speaker 2: Off the top of my head, I believe podcasting.
Speaker 4: I believe Adam Curry formerly of MTV started around two
Speaker 4: thousand and four two thousand and five, and then Ricky
Speaker 4: Gervais was in first, and then I believe Tod Glass
Speaker 4: put it best in his book that I was the
Speaker 4: first comedian that you knew of that had a podcast,
Speaker 4: because there were some other comedians that did have have one,
Speaker 4: but I was the first one that you knew of
Speaker 4: in two thousand and six, and that I do appreciate
Speaker 4: you making very clear when you compare me to Adam Crolla,
Speaker 4: that I was the first one to do a comedy podcast.
Speaker 4: I think Adam tried at one point to do with
Speaker 4: the comedy one, did that for a while and then.
Speaker 2: Decided instead to be an asshole, right.
Speaker 3: Right, right, Yeah, well, you got two routes and you're
Speaker 3: gonna get the same numbers.
Speaker 4: I think if you, well, what I'm what I'm discovering, Chris,
Speaker 4: based on my numbers, is that the asshole route is
Speaker 4: the way to go because I think Rogan and Door
Speaker 4: and Corolla are all buying mansions.
Speaker 2: And I'm being funny and true to myself.
Speaker 1: Right, that's right.
Speaker 2: You should have gone solid two percent.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I should have horseshooed the thing. And uh, I'm so,
Speaker 2: but I'm left.
Speaker 4: I'm a left to you guys, I'm a left and
Speaker 4: then before you know what, I'm wearing a red hat.
Speaker 4: So that's what I should have done. This is politics
Speaker 4: with Jimmy Parter, with being vague about it. Yeah, you're
Speaker 4: so left that you're right.
Speaker 2: Uh, huh, you're right. I don't want to be wrong,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Baby, Come on here, you
Speaker 2: sugar daddy. I got a smokey on my tail.
Speaker 1: Jimmy, do you remember there was podcasting early days? There
Speaker 1: was a It was out in Santa Monica. It was
Speaker 1: literally like an airplane hanger and there was mobile homes
Speaker 1: inside the airplane hangar and people were recording individual shows
Speaker 1: in each mobile home. So like Greg Barrett had one
Speaker 1: and I think Dave Anthony like people were doing. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if it digital radio.
Speaker 2: No, it was, it was.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: It was digital radio, and it was it was Comedy
Speaker 2: World Radio.
Speaker 1: Comedy World.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, wow. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And Greg and Dave were the same show. They were
Speaker 4: the a They had a man versation that a daily
Speaker 4: man versation. Karen and Paul Gil Martin had a show
Speaker 4: there every Sunday that I was very grateful to have
Speaker 4: been a part of. Ye and Terry, a guy named
Speaker 4: Terry was in charge of it all. He was a
Speaker 4: great guy and a smart guy and he knew good talent.
Speaker 4: And then he was also.
Speaker 2: Forced to have other people on the on the on
Speaker 2: the dial as well.
Speaker 1: Right, But was that what year I thought that was
Speaker 1: like early two thousands.
Speaker 2: Well that's early because that wasn't podcasting. That was that
Speaker 2: was radio.
Speaker 4: It was I believe it was fields logging. I think
Speaker 4: the troops got it. Christ to have a little respect
Speaker 4: for the troops. I know, you don't care for this
Speaker 4: country the way that I do, but they, I mean Navy,
Speaker 4: I'm cool with. Okay that because of the village people. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: getting there suck it. Yeah, but that was the funny
Speaker 4: you're right about. That was out near Loyola University, and
Speaker 4: it was like, yeah, it was like this bigger plane
Speaker 4: hangar and then each studio was in like.
Speaker 2: In trailers inside the warehouse.
Speaker 1: It was the weird like it felt like a dream. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because why, Like we're like, why was inside an airplane hangar?
Speaker 1: But there was mobile homes there.
Speaker 2: It was like that kind of why not have the
Speaker 2: mobile homes just out in the park. Why pay the
Speaker 2: rent on the warehouse?
Speaker 1: Sound like audio just for sound safety? I'm not, but
Speaker 1: I always think I think about well, I didn't know
Speaker 1: his name was Terry, but I just think about that
Speaker 1: guy where it's like it took twenty years basically or
Speaker 1: fifteen years for podcasting to get kind of like where
Speaker 1: everybody knew about it. I'm like, that guy really did
Speaker 1: dig the first trench.
Speaker 2: But again, that wasn't podcast that was radio he was doing.
Speaker 2: That was that was. That was a radio station. It
Speaker 2: was Comedy World Radio. It was it was it was.
Speaker 1: It was digital.
Speaker 2: It was digital.
Speaker 1: It was podcasting just in a different form.
Speaker 2: But it was live. It was live. It wasn't oh
Speaker 2: shit shit. And by the way, I realized that Terry
Speaker 2: Daniser was his name. Nice Poul, thank you you you
Speaker 2: you've spoken of.
Speaker 4: Terry ended up getting me a great couple of great
Speaker 4: jobs actually, uh in actual show business. So he's been
Speaker 4: good and he actually came to my uh when Danielle
Speaker 4: and I rented a house once, we had a housewarming
Speaker 4: party first the last house warming party I've ever had,
Speaker 4: and uh, Terry was one of.
Speaker 2: The people that came.
Speaker 1: So that's look at this good person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good man.
Speaker 3: Coincidentally, the fans of our podcasts are called Danny Sores.
Speaker 3: Now that that is quinc Why am I crazy?
Speaker 2: Yes, it is because of the do you need a
Speaker 2: ride of sours? Is that what it is? Yeah? I
Speaker 2: think that's that's what they're going by we Karen and
Speaker 2: I did not endoors or yeah, that's that was for
Speaker 2: support on the streets. I support it now, Oh do you? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I should start it. So do you remember Jimmy doing
Speaker 3: podcasts before? Did you do a bunch of podcasts before
Speaker 3: you started yours?
Speaker 4: Or no?
Speaker 2: We start.
Speaker 4: We sat down to my table in March of twenty
Speaker 4: in my dining room table, March of twenty sixteen, two
Speaker 4: thousand and six, brother, and that was it. And the
Speaker 4: goal was for it to be a half hour every
Speaker 4: other week. And that show lasted an hour, and then
Speaker 4: we said, let's just do this every week, and then
Speaker 4: we did an hour every week, and now I think
Speaker 4: we do.
Speaker 2: Seven hours a week.
Speaker 4: And wow, people seem to enjoy what we're putting out.
Speaker 4: They seem to enjoy what we're laying down. As the
Speaker 4: jazz man would say, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: And did you not know Matt? You didn't know Matt?
Speaker 2: You've got to know him on air, kind of like
Speaker 2: Karen and I have, right, you are speaking of my
Speaker 2: co host and producer, Matt bell Knapp. He was a
Speaker 2: shan of mine.
Speaker 4: He ran that a special thing, really message board, and
Speaker 4: he was a fan of mine. Who would come to
Speaker 4: all of my UCB shows and so.
Speaker 2: On, and then the message board.
Speaker 4: Yes, and he approached me about doing it, and to
Speaker 4: your point, I did not really know him, and we
Speaker 4: had a couple of meetings and then we got to
Speaker 4: know each other on the air, and we've become great friends,
Speaker 4: and our kids are friends.
Speaker 2: And you know, we've kindly, you know, we've done it
Speaker 2: sixteen years. We've kind of grown up together, perfect pair, perfect.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
Speaker 4: I'm very I you know, I say it all the
Speaker 4: time that you know, I've got Ellie Hopeberg who's our
Speaker 4: video guy, and garn Cocker who's our ten year intern,
Speaker 4: and me and Matt and I And on paper, none
Speaker 4: of us should be friends, none of us, sincerely, I don't.
Speaker 2: I have nothing in common with any of them. And
Speaker 2: yet the four of us.
Speaker 4: In the room, we really work well together. And I'm
Speaker 4: very very grateful that I had that these three people have.
Speaker 4: I don't I'm not mary Anne Williamson, but I mean, like,
Speaker 4: I'm very grateful they've come into my life because they've
Speaker 4: really they've helped me make a great show, and I'm
Speaker 4: very very grateful for Yeah, and you get to you know, I.
Speaker 1: Know you're joking about the other stuff of all the
Speaker 1: kind of like men of a certain age with a
Speaker 1: certain background who go in a direction and then they
Speaker 1: just are like, oh no, this is what's going to work.
Speaker 1: I'm going to start telling everybody how to think and
Speaker 1: not to get vaccinated whatever, and that's their choice. But
Speaker 1: I want you to know, just personally, I think many
Speaker 1: comedians and many people who love comedy or love podcasts
Speaker 1: look at you as a person who is exactly your
Speaker 1: authentic self and has been doing it your way since
Speaker 1: the very beginning, and that is inspiring and it's meaningful,
Speaker 1: and you're just so goddamn good at it, like you
Speaker 1: have a radio voice, but you're also like just a
Speaker 1: really powerful comedian. And then you're just kind of doing
Speaker 1: this thing where it's like all your talents come together.
Speaker 1: You don't have to you don't have to pander. It's wonderful.
Speaker 4: I want you to record, Well we recording this, I
Speaker 4: guess if we're doing a podcast, I'm going to lift
Speaker 4: that what you just said, Karen and and put it
Speaker 4: on my phone and play it back for what I'm
Speaker 4: feeling low because that was the nicest thing to say.
Speaker 2: Thank you, so much for that. I mean, that's sincerely.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 4: I mean, look, we you know, we're comedians and we
Speaker 4: bust balls and we you know, I mean, I open
Speaker 4: up this thing with making fun of Chris, you know,
Speaker 4: not taking a lozenge.
Speaker 2: But thank you for that. That means a lot, sincerely.
Speaker 2: It warms my heart that you said that. Yeah, sharing
Speaker 2: you did that to me last episode two.
Speaker 3: You took two minutes without thinking about what you were
Speaker 3: going to say, and it just flowed out of you
Speaker 3: and it made me feel good.
Speaker 2: Have you been are you gonna? Are you?
Speaker 1: It's like you've become I have terrible, terrible cancer. I
Speaker 1: have the bad kind of cancer. There's no way, no,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. I think we spend a
Speaker 1: long time as comedians, like you know, taking our fingernails
Speaker 1: and scraping up a mountain, and it's very difficult. It
Speaker 1: brings out the worst in most of us. We're all
Speaker 1: very ambitious and very competitive. We're also all very insecure
Speaker 1: and sensitive, is why we are comedings, and that brings
Speaker 1: us to the highest of highs when we interact. And also,
Speaker 1: you know, it's horrible times and I just am so xceited,
Speaker 1: Like when when I saw your name come up in
Speaker 1: my email. I was like, fucking thank god, this is
Speaker 1: going to be the best. Yes, because it's just spending
Speaker 1: an hour with Jimmy Pardo, which is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite things to do. And I don't get to do
Speaker 1: a lot of my favorite things anymore, just, you know,
Speaker 1: because become.
Speaker 2: A monolith, you don't have time. I wish in the airport,
Speaker 2: this is true, Careen. I was in the airport.
Speaker 4: I did my first road gig last week, my first
Speaker 4: road gig, only my second one since the beginning of
Speaker 4: the pandemic. I've not been traveling quite a bit. I
Speaker 4: mean I've been traveling at all. And I was in
Speaker 4: the airport and I went to the you know, the
Speaker 4: I think the last remaining bookstore on the planet is
Speaker 4: at the airport. And I saw it and I won't
Speaker 4: be able to pull it now. I'm grateful. I pulled
Speaker 4: Terry Daniser's name. But I was looking at the table
Speaker 4: and there was a book that had a book title,
Speaker 4: and I went, oh, that's a great book title.
Speaker 2: Who wrote, Oh, that's my friend kercle Garve's book. So
Speaker 2: that was so you don't have time to do your
Speaker 2: favorite things. I don't know when you sleep enough with you,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 4: I agree, no, I agree enough with the murder and
Speaker 4: the drives and the books.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I put it in any killer there
Speaker 2: for a second. The books, but the book was a
Speaker 2: third thing.
Speaker 4: Although I had three things, and it got confusing. What
Speaker 4: is the name of the book, Karen, because it's driving
Speaker 4: my brain does I can't pull it.
Speaker 1: It's called Stay Sexy and don't get Murdered.
Speaker 2: That's what it was. Yes, very nice.
Speaker 4: I liked the name of the book, and then I
Speaker 4: saw that it was yours, and I immediately brought it
Speaker 4: back to the tab.
Speaker 2: Is that I will not purchase this after all. I
Speaker 2: I was excited to buy it, and then I was like, yo,
Speaker 2: that's a great title. I'm gonna get this. Just sight
Speaker 2: Unseen walked up and then WHOA has a.
Speaker 3: Sling nine don't Yeah, yeah, no way, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 3: a They always have the new releases in the airport,
Speaker 3: but uh, you gotta go through security and everything.
Speaker 2: I don't even have a flight. I go there to
Speaker 2: buy books.
Speaker 4: It's it's a hassle, but I tell you, you know,
Speaker 4: if you want to get a book, it's the place
Speaker 4: to go.

Speaker 1: Yes, right, and I get you for forty dollars and
Speaker 1: it'ssional magazine.

Speaker 2: It's open air.
Speaker 1: It's la Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris would would it? Would a day quill be
Speaker 2: a bad idea? I? Uh no, I took a night quill.
Speaker 2: It's the same thing. No, it's not time.
Speaker 1: It's very different.
Speaker 2: Have you, either of you ever been to the Seattle Airport?
Speaker 1: Sure? Yes, Holy there was.
Speaker 3: I mean, not only is there, like there's just an
Speaker 3: art gallery of like posters, like Pearl Jam posters and
Speaker 3: all this amazing artwork. They have a sub pop store
Speaker 3: in there that just has a wall of cassette tapes
Speaker 3: of all the early wet made sub pop get purchased
Speaker 3: by probably Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But it's like a clothing store. It was I'm like, who,
Speaker 3: how is this in an airport right now? The guy
Speaker 3: working the register was sleeve tatted and the like colored hair,
Speaker 3: and it.
Speaker 2: Was filled with cool people.
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, that's just as specific as having like
Speaker 3: a you know, Pendleton store or something place that only
Speaker 3: sells little handbags or little jewelry or whatever.
Speaker 1: Right, they're like, might as well make something good for
Speaker 1: people to do while they're stuck here on a five
Speaker 1: hour line.
Speaker 3: Almost missed my flight because of how cool that store was.
Speaker 3: I kept buying, But you.
Speaker 2: Didn't buy anything, right, did you buy anything? You got
Speaker 2: a hat, I got a sweatshirt. Oh you did shirt?
Speaker 2: That Subpop logo just I grew up with it.
Speaker 3: I did, like all the bands I grew up loving,
Speaker 3: not just you know, there's Nirvana and Soundgarden and mud
Speaker 3: Honey in those early bands, but all current bands too,
Speaker 3: like they are and there's a record label store in
Speaker 3: an airport. Meanwhile, you go to Lax and there's just
Speaker 3: it's just a dirty carpet and uh.
Speaker 2: You know, Chris, you know that.
Speaker 4: When you walked out of sub Pop, the guy behind
Speaker 4: the resident went to the back room and said, hey, boss,
Speaker 4: we sold something. They don't ever they don't ever sell anything.
Speaker 4: That it was like a museum. This is a cool
Speaker 4: looking place.
Speaker 3: And then he was in a line of a dozen people.
Speaker 3: I'm not even kidding pal, I'm not kidding. I believe
Speaker 3: I knew you wouldn't believe me. I don't believe I
Speaker 3: knew that you wouldn't.
Speaker 2: And now I'm telling you about the dozen people I
Speaker 2: feel I'm lied to. I feel like you're brought into
Speaker 2: this podcast to be I'm not lie.
Speaker 1: It's our new segment, Light to Jimmy, Light to Jimmy.
Speaker 2: So I get a shop every week?
Speaker 1: No, wait, can I can I do a lie?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That that's actually the truth, Just like Chriss Chris is
Speaker 1: like there is a line at the sub pop store
Speaker 1: in the Seattle Airport. Jimmy said, five, Well, that's a line.
Speaker 1: You know, A line's a line. Here's my lie, here's
Speaker 1: my lie. That's actually the truth. My dog was sick.
Speaker 1: I was going to drive home for Christmas. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, my dog was sick. I run her down
Speaker 1: to the emergency vet. They're like, her organs are shutting down.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I go take her home. They
Speaker 1: have to, like, you know, whatever do all new fluids.
Speaker 1: They're like, we think she's terribly allergic to something, but
Speaker 1: that we don't know what. The Great Brandy Posey of
Speaker 1: the Lady to lady podcast comes and house sits for me,
Speaker 1: and like five days later she calls me and goes, hey,
Speaker 1: so we figured out what happened to your dog? And
Speaker 1: I said what and she goes, so there were she
Speaker 1: could see that there were bees in the in a
Speaker 1: tree in my backyard and she was like, oh, so
Speaker 1: she called a bee removal place to have a guy
Speaker 1: come out and he told her those are Africanized killer bees.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, Oh my fuck in my backyard.
Speaker 2: I know my line here. You're lying right right.
Speaker 1: This is a good segment, you guys making that up lying.
Speaker 1: I swear to go.
Speaker 4: Here's the part I don't buy. I don't buy Posey
Speaker 4: taking it upot herself to call the bee guy.
Speaker 2: She's the one that saved Britney spears. Are you kidding? No,
Speaker 2: that's a good point.
Speaker 1: She's not associated Yeah, I know I.
Speaker 2: Made that mistake before. She's associated with that. What a
Speaker 2: perfect word, perfect word.
Speaker 1: So now the little dog, he's okay, she's totally fine.
Speaker 1: And I thought, you know, because I was like, oh, great,
Speaker 1: now I have a dog that like can't get stung
Speaker 1: by a bee or what you know. I was so
Speaker 1: mad that I was going to have to have like
Speaker 1: a high maintenance dog that I might have to pay
Speaker 1: actual attention to. And then we've heard that, I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, get rid of those bees were all set.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Good for her.
Speaker 4: I don't think I would have ever taken that upon
Speaker 4: myself and went well when she gets bactual calls to
Speaker 4: figure it out, that would have been meat.
Speaker 1: But good for Randy post Randy's she's very responsible son.
Speaker 3: Killer bees, if it's a dog, it certainly won't kill
Speaker 3: a human. Right, they're not killers.
Speaker 1: It's for every ten pounds of a mammal, one be
Speaker 1: staying will kill you. So my dog is fifteen pounds.
Speaker 1: So she got stung and was like like a kind
Speaker 1: of on the verge, but they were it was okay.
Speaker 1: But if she had like stepped into the hive, I
Speaker 1: think she'd be dead. And if a person steps into
Speaker 1: a hive. Those are the stories you've heard of killer bees,
Speaker 1: where it's they get swarmed and stung multiple times and
Speaker 1: then I and then that's how you.
Speaker 2: That would have ruined my week and weekend. Then that
Speaker 2: was Blossom.
Speaker 1: Yes, it was oh god, you don't my new one
Speaker 1: who's little and she's very head.
Speaker 2: That would happen. I know me too. Wow, did you
Speaker 2: guys ever work with the comedian Killer Bees?
Speaker 1: I've seen Killer Bees. I've never worked with him.
Speaker 2: He had that he had that catchphrase of save up
Speaker 2: where we would say, have you ever been to the Disneyland?
Speaker 2: Same ap.
Speaker 4: He was from Nashville, and he would he would crush,
Speaker 4: he would destroy. Yeah, and uh, you know he was
Speaker 4: He was a very nice I only worked with him
Speaker 4: one time. He could not have been a nicer guy. Uh.
Speaker 2: I know that some comedians.
Speaker 4: You know, he's a punchline to some comedians because he
Speaker 4: had a catchphrase and you know, he had a Southern accent,
Speaker 4: so certainly he's stupid. Uh, but he was a nice
Speaker 4: guy and funny enough. But yeah, that's it, Caroen, I
Speaker 4: interrupted you you're gonna ask me a question. I apologized.
Speaker 4: Hands on the wheel, Chriss, hands on cereal ten and two.
Speaker 3: Baby Larry the cable guy was very fucking nice to me,
Speaker 3: and I realized, oh, you're just a person that was
Speaker 3: forced into a character and you kept doing it, and uh,
Speaker 3: he just wanted to talk about Uh He's like, oh,
Speaker 3: you're into skateboarding, and he'd try and talk about the
Speaker 3: things he thought I was interested in. And then he
Speaker 3: had weird jokes that he would beg me to try
Speaker 3: on stage because he thought his audience wouldn't like his
Speaker 3: joke about birthday cake or something. So I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'll try this birthday cake premise.
Speaker 2: He's like, riff with it, do what you can.
Speaker 3: And then he'd come out and watch his dream joke
Speaker 3: get performed by his opener because he felt his fart
Speaker 3: and sleeveless poop hat audience wouldn't enjoy it.
Speaker 2: And it really made me. How did it? How did
Speaker 2: the birthday cake? I still do it. I've done it
Speaker 2: now for twelve years.
Speaker 1: Is that true?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: But I it did go well, and I'm like, and
Speaker 3: when he told me it, it was it was like
Speaker 3: the premise and where he wanted it to go. I'm like,
Speaker 3: that is a funny idea.
Speaker 4: He Chris to your point. He was on Conan O'Brien's
Speaker 4: program Watch. The show was called Conan and he it
Speaker 4: was It was on television. It was television like a
Speaker 4: talk show format.
Speaker 2: Tyler Park near Loyola. No, No, that wasn't podcasting.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, he's on panel, you know, he's he's
Speaker 4: doing his segment, and I forget what writer came up
Speaker 4: to me in the green room and said, if this
Speaker 4: was any other comedian, we would call these jokes genius
Speaker 4: because like the jokes. Yeah, but they're good, they're well written,
Speaker 4: because that guy Dan Whitney was he was a good
Speaker 4: comic before he became learning the cable guy, right, and
Speaker 4: he knows so he can he writes good jokes, but
Speaker 4: he knows he can't use them with his but he
Speaker 4: used him on Conan and he was really funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he he when he was coming through Austin.
Speaker 3: Uh where I first met you when you came to town.
Speaker 4: Right, you were fresh off of being awarded funniest guy
Speaker 4: in Austin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, okay, well you were fresh off that are.
Speaker 1: You saying he was on a bit of an ego drug.
Speaker 4: It seemed like he was a little high on his horse,
Speaker 4: by the way, Karen, I was there two years, two
Speaker 4: years in a row. I was there right after the
Speaker 4: person who won Funniest Person in Austin.
Speaker 2: I was there.
Speaker 4: They went, well, you know, you know who should who
Speaker 4: could follow those guys? Pardo and why make me work?
Speaker 4: Why have to follow the guy with it?
Speaker 3: Because they never that city has a history of not
Speaker 3: appreciating their own talent. But I remember you coming to
Speaker 3: town and you were I immediately loved you. I thought
Speaker 3: you were making fun of me and being mean. But
Speaker 3: you give this wink and you do it on stage,
Speaker 3: and you you do it in person where you kind
Speaker 3: of roast someone, and then you immediately balance it out
Speaker 3: with self deprecation or some indication that you're kidding.
Speaker 2: You might even just say I'm kidding.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: And I loved it right away, and you've always done it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I loved you right away. Yeah. That was two thousand
Speaker 2: and three and I had just won that thing. That
Speaker 2: was good for you. You deserved it, Yeah, well twenty
Speaker 2: years ago, why not. Yeah, but I just went back, Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh you did. Yeah?
Speaker 4: Did they appreciate you? That was that for that rock
Speaker 4: and roll show that you wouldn't stop talking about earlier.
Speaker 2: That's only because I talked about it on the last episode.
Speaker 2: I understand christ It was to ring in the New Year, which,
Speaker 2: as you and I both know, what a great gig
Speaker 2: New Year's.
Speaker 3: Someone gets punched and blood shoots out of her head
Speaker 3: as a Christmas tree falls onto a family that didn't
Speaker 3: receive their fish, if we could be so lucky, and
Speaker 3: can it be near the docks?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Anyway, was that Oxnard you guys that you had your
Speaker 1: Faithful New Year?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it definitely was the part that was near Oxnard? Yeah,
Speaker 3: where you get stabbed for surfing the wrong wave. Oh boy, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they'll throw in a plugged in toaster.
Speaker 1: Jimmy said that you recently have gone back onto the
Speaker 1: road a.
Speaker 2: Little bit, just tod, just just dipping my toe in.
Speaker 1: Yes, And how can you tell us the difference from
Speaker 1: pre COVID A pluses minuses the experience? And do you
Speaker 1: feel you've changed as a comedian as a person?
Speaker 3: Boy, that's that's a lot of It's a six part
Speaker 3: seventeen questions, Jimmy.
Speaker 2: I'm going to just answer them. Interrupt Oh jeez, will
Speaker 2: you play back the tape so I can't know where
Speaker 2: you order?
Speaker 4: That was asked, success, And here's the I went back
Speaker 4: on the road back in September of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: I did Bloomington, Indiana the Comedy Addict, which was which
Speaker 2: is the best club of the country.
Speaker 4: And I loved every second I was there, and the
Speaker 4: shows were great, and I was very, very grateful that
Speaker 4: my fans came out that said the people that just
Speaker 4: go to the comedy attic are well educated, smart comedy people.
Speaker 2: So that was wonderful. I enjoyed every second meeting.
Speaker 4: But then I sadly had to cancel the remainder of
Speaker 4: my dates in twenty twenty two. And then last week
Speaker 4: I went to Paris, Texas. Chris, you were there a
Speaker 4: couple of years ago for the Tower Comedy Festival at
Speaker 4: a club that is a dive. I know. But Darryl Felsburg,
Speaker 4: who's a great comedian, a any guy and a great guy.
Speaker 4: He curates this festival and he wants Chris and you know,
Speaker 4: me and Todd Glass and Todd comics there. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: the town of Paris, Karen is let's go Brandon. Flags
Speaker 4: are on every Yeah, it's uh, it's it's a lot
Speaker 4: of red hats. And the truth is though, if you
Speaker 4: don't talk politics, they they love it.
Speaker 2: So yeah.
Speaker 4: Uh so it being back, my first my first time
Speaker 4: back after even that Bloomington one.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: First of all, I felt great to be on stage
Speaker 4: and do what I do and to have an audience
Speaker 4: that was just receptive and it's got this festival vibe.
Speaker 4: It so it seems like it's more important than just
Speaker 4: a comedy show at a bar. So it felt good
Speaker 4: and and and you know, you know what, I'll answer
Speaker 4: your question, Karen, do I feel different? I'm ending my
Speaker 4: shows and this is bizarre. I admit this because after
Speaker 4: everything that I do. It's very Ricklesy in a way,
Speaker 4: after everything I do, which is you know, bombastic and stupid,
Speaker 4: and I end by saying, just be kind to each
Speaker 4: other and then I leave.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of how I've changed.
Speaker 4: Because I feel like we haven't, you know, like we
Speaker 4: have to remind ourselves to be kind to each other
Speaker 4: after kind of the you know, the polarizing and the
Speaker 4: everything that's going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So is that a weird way to do
Speaker 2: a comedy show? Yes, of course it is. It's very bizarre.
Speaker 2: But you know what, who gives you I'm fifty something
Speaker 2: years old, who keeps a shit? Yeah? You know what
Speaker 2: I mean? If you walk out going that was weird
Speaker 2: that he was nice at the end, well then scram yeah.
Speaker 2: Well it's no uh John Morgan.
Speaker 3: He ended his show with singing the national anthem, which
Speaker 3: actually would I have done?
Speaker 4: Okay there, wait a minute, I'm going to make a
Speaker 4: note of that. I've got a gig next week of Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: You're you're recommending the National and show like did he
Speaker 4: have the fact she has a cappella or did he
Speaker 4: have a musical accompaniment on his own?
Speaker 2: And actually in his in John's he did nail it. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Really that's a tough song to sing. They won't stop
Speaker 4: telling you. Yeah, yeah, that's a tough song. Yes, right
Speaker 4: of course it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it always has been hundreds of years difficult.
Speaker 4: Difficult when Whitney decided to do it, it's been difficult
Speaker 4: for years this whole time.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But also, Jimmy, don't you think like people are going
Speaker 1: to comedy clubs to get to laugh and get the
Speaker 1: dopamine hit and feel good and all that stuff. I
Speaker 1: think it's a perfect happer because you're right, it is
Speaker 1: a little bit of the balance, like Chris was saying
Speaker 1: earlier of like when you roast someone but you wink
Speaker 1: at them, or you include yourself on the roast or
Speaker 1: whatever you do, where it is that feeling like you
Speaker 1: are there to try to make people feel better, and
Speaker 1: then as everybody's kind of high on that vibe, then
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, here's the real message, which is we
Speaker 1: are human beings. Like you're not on a team and
Speaker 1: you're not on a side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess that's kind of what I feel.
Speaker 2: That said, I feel like I'm on a team and
Speaker 2: I'm out of side. I'm very one. You know.
Speaker 4: Obviously if made a mistake, if I wasn't in Paris, Texas,
Speaker 4: I would have been, you know, running my mouth about
Speaker 4: you know, Trump being the biggest dummy in the world. Yeah,
Speaker 4: who votes for Marjorie Taylor Green? And how how could
Speaker 4: anybody go into a booth and go Lauren bootwirts my girl?
Speaker 4: Like I would, I would make front of all of that.
Speaker 4: But in Paris, Texas, I don't want to be dragged
Speaker 4: behind a pickup truck back to somebody's you know barn,
Speaker 4: so well they do put.
Speaker 2: You in a wheelbarrel. I uh so you're not actually
Speaker 2: being dragged. I've been to the festival.
Speaker 3: I've been to it, and when I went to it
Speaker 3: years ago, I wasn't even thinking about that, and so
Speaker 3: I'm not surprised to hear you say it was let's
Speaker 3: go Brandon flags everywhere, and it was ufronting.
Speaker 2: It's pretty maga. It's not just conservative. It's it's a
Speaker 2: pretty magacity.
Speaker 3: A lot of the comics who I still talk to
Speaker 3: and I really feel like I became friends with where
Speaker 3: like Christian comics that you understand it's that part of
Speaker 3: the country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, Well, it's it's a little bit of
Speaker 1: it's you know, similar to the Larry the Cable Guy,
Speaker 1: where it's like you start doing your act and then
Speaker 1: on stage you're having you know, you're either successful or
Speaker 1: not successful, and then you're making the adjustments to get
Speaker 1: when you're unsuccessful, to get back into the successful area.
Speaker 1: And if you're doing that with those kinds of audiences,
Speaker 1: you are going to start leaning the way that they
Speaker 1: want you to lean in a way or you're going
Speaker 1: to be looking for what is the what's the thing
Speaker 1: that's actually getting the response I and my ego want
Speaker 1: And then there you go and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, guys, this CIA has microchipped you. So
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I mean shit, that's just insane, truly beyond.
Speaker 4: You know, to speak about the same thing you just said,
Speaker 4: but not politically, is if you make your living doing
Speaker 4: nothing but one night or bars, and you could certainly
Speaker 4: make your living doing that. I'm not putting it down,
Speaker 4: but you will also to your point, you will bend
Speaker 4: towards making that particular right, that style of audience laugh.
Speaker 2: So you may go a little dirty or a little
Speaker 2: easier with the comedy.
Speaker 4: So because you want to kill to feed your eagle,
Speaker 4: like you said, nobody wants to bomb any at any location.
Speaker 4: But if that's all you're doing, then that's kind of
Speaker 4: what you're going to lean towards. Uh, as far as
Speaker 4: comedy goes, and then certainly as far as you know,
Speaker 4: politically goes.
Speaker 2: If that's the angle you're going at.
Speaker 4: Yeah, next thing, you know, you're walking around the halls
Speaker 4: with a white balloon like a moron.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also just days late, like so late for that.
Speaker 4: She's should be wrong if she's bury in the zeitgeys,
Speaker 4: she's smarter than you.
Speaker 2: Oh God, I accept your apology.
Speaker 4: What I do not accept your collegeologize is that is
Speaker 4: that the trailer home thing that you screwed up, it
Speaker 4: was live.
Speaker 2: Oh god, your apology. I've been stewing on it. I
Speaker 2: can't fast, I can't get past.
Speaker 1: Maybe that, maybe that's why there was the hangar and
Speaker 1: then the mobile homes was like there was some sort
Speaker 1: of radio element to it where they had to be
Speaker 1: in the place to be transmitted.
Speaker 4: But wait, but if you think back to your Wolfman
Speaker 4: Jack years and all stuff like that, weren't weren't those
Speaker 4: out trailers in the just out in the middle of
Speaker 4: the field somewhere, weren't they?
Speaker 2: Weren't they little shacks?
Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm trying to think of what happened on
Speaker 1: WKRP in Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: That was a real radio station.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were in a building.
Speaker 2: Yea, they building right now?
Speaker 3: Both I get For my Christmas, I gave my dad
Speaker 3: a w k RP shirt and a DVD box set
Speaker 3: of the entire season which has arrive.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, is that true? It's still so. Did you
Speaker 2: print out the cover of it like to put in
Speaker 2: a car? Yeah? I mailed him a promise of what's
Speaker 2: to come.
Speaker 3: But that show is it's such a realistic, U specific
Speaker 3: commentary on early radio days.
Speaker 2: And my dad was a radio guy as you both.
Speaker 4: No, I do know, and I know your sister very
Speaker 4: well as well, and uh she's she's good people to
Speaker 4: whole Fairbanks Clan's terrific.
Speaker 1: Uh, really good people.
Speaker 2: Chris, did the T shirt arrive or and or the
Speaker 2: boxet or shirt arrive. It's nice.
Speaker 1: It's like someone stole that box at someone stole I.
Speaker 2: Think were stolen. I agree with that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, did you see the thing on the LA
Speaker 3: news where the trains were getting robbed and they actually
Speaker 3: showed footage of the the train tracks and it's just
Speaker 3: a bunch of empty Amazon boxes.
Speaker 2: Yeah? Did There's where my windshield repair kit went.
Speaker 1: I saw that and I literally was like, I wonder
Speaker 1: where that is. I'd like to go down and take
Speaker 1: a look.
Speaker 2: I remember seeing that footage and I'm just running on
Speaker 2: the train tracks running. I love Howard Hessman.
Speaker 1: And holding Chris's package above his hell yep, Lonnie Anderson,
Speaker 1: everybody guy stroking it right, just running to City of
Speaker 1: Industry to look at his stuff.
Speaker 2: Love it.
Speaker 1: I actually had not to go political again, but just
Speaker 1: for one moment, because this was kind of a funny
Speaker 1: experience because my dad is in his eighties, but he
Speaker 1: is a lifelong Democrat, conservative Democrat, but he is. He
Speaker 1: In the late nineties when Donald Trump started becoming kind
Speaker 1: of you know, like when it was the Apprentice days
Speaker 1: and he was starting to become like zeitgeisty, I remember
Speaker 1: saying something to my dad about him, and my Dad's like,
Speaker 1: he's no good, he doesn't pay people he does, like
Speaker 1: he had this whole speech about Donald Trump's not a
Speaker 1: good person. Well now all of his friends are maga Republicans,
Speaker 1: Like everywhere he turns, he's one of the only people
Speaker 1: that is that isn't. And we were at a dinner
Speaker 1: one night at our family friend's house and they had
Speaker 1: friends over who I didn't know. And at dinner, the
Speaker 1: wife of this couple starts yelling at me, because of
Speaker 1: course they can tell that I'm not one of them,
Speaker 1: so I must be on the other side on the
Speaker 1: bad I'm you know whatever. She starts yelling me about
Speaker 1: the trains being robbed and what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: And what do you and for really one of the
Speaker 1: first times in my life, I didn't know what to say,
Speaker 1: because what I wanted to say is I don't know you.
Speaker 1: I don't like you. Shouldn't be screaming in my face
Speaker 1: over this beautiful roast beef that somebody made for us
Speaker 1: so that we could all sit down and like be
Speaker 1: together as people. And I don't whatever you're doing right now,
Speaker 1: I don't have to do it with you. I'm not
Speaker 1: your family member. I don't. I'm not I don't know you.
Speaker 1: But instead I just smiled and kind of laughed, like
Speaker 1: like she was telling me that anecdote.
Speaker 2: That probably hit her right in the heart.
Speaker 1: Well, because what do you it's the It was the
Speaker 1: weirdest thing where I was like, this isn't the internet, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not here to find with you, I don't. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to chit chat and like have dinner with
Speaker 1: these people that I like like And they were screaming.
Speaker 1: They were not It wasn't like you know, oh, it
Speaker 1: wasn't accusatory or lookey. It was like yelling about these
Speaker 1: trains being robbed in this and it's it made me
Speaker 1: go like, oh man, there's a whole there's a whole
Speaker 1: section of people that are having these fears fed and
Speaker 1: are having these ideas like constantly repeated in their heads
Speaker 1: of these these are the problems, and no one will
Speaker 1: end that guy and these people and like all that
Speaker 1: kind of blame fear and it is bad for human
Speaker 1: being's brains.
Speaker 2: And you know what, Karen, had had you said anything
Speaker 2: back there, let's say you.
Speaker 4: Would have said what you just said. You wish you
Speaker 4: could have said, you would have been the crazy person.
Speaker 4: Could you believe the way that she reacted. We're just
Speaker 4: trying to have a conversation and she went crazy on us,
Speaker 4: and it's like, so you can't say anything because you
Speaker 4: can't fight with's weird.
Speaker 2: I mean there's no winning, that's it.
Speaker 1: Well, because yeah, because you're it's almost like the point
Speaker 1: us to fight, to be fighting where it's like I
Speaker 1: don't want to fight with you. I'm exhausted for you know,
Speaker 1: it's like, who has the time for this spending? Like
Speaker 1: do you do this all day long? Do you do
Speaker 1: this with everyone you meet?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: How do you?
Speaker 1: How are you in the world?
Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna pull something up here, and that
Speaker 2: sounds dirtier than I mean it to be.
Speaker 4: Somebody somebody tweeted this out and it applies to this
Speaker 4: and and I'm sure you guys all know Quinn Sutherland.
Speaker 2: You know Quinn? Yeah, yes, wonderful woman. And so she
Speaker 2: retweeted this, which the only reason I saw.
Speaker 4: A guy named Anthony DeVito tweeted this out. You don't
Speaker 4: rebut psychotic nonsense. It's quicksand you grab a fucking vine
Speaker 4: and swing over it to get to where you need
Speaker 4: to be. And I took a photograph of that or
Speaker 4: a screenshot because it was like, you know what, you
Speaker 4: nailed it, dude, this is the Yeah. I don't know
Speaker 4: this guy, but it was like, thank you for saying
Speaker 4: it like this, because it made dumb comedian Jimmy Parter's
Speaker 4: brain understand.
Speaker 2: Why am I? Why am I fighting with that? Just
Speaker 2: they're not gonna move on? Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, I think Anthony DaVita is a comment.
Speaker 2: I don't know him. Is he okay? Yeah? Well that
Speaker 2: if he's listening, I hope he gets a nice charge
Speaker 2: on a pardo mentioning him. Right.
Speaker 4: We heard earlier Karen said it. I'm one of the
Speaker 4: best people. Are lucky to be listening to anything that
Speaker 4: I do. So if I say to Vito's name, the
Speaker 4: guy should probably call his parents to let him.
Speaker 1: Know it's a full salute.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I it does bum me out.
Speaker 3: Ever since you said, oh, these other folks that are
Speaker 3: doubling down on the two percent are buying houses, and
Speaker 3: you feel like you're missing out because if you look
Speaker 3: at a map, if you look at a map like
Speaker 3: one of those maps where they always have the uh,
Speaker 3: here's all the blue dots and they're throughout all the
Speaker 3: red dots. They are throughout the country. And then it
Speaker 3: just seems like the cities are are the democratic dots.
Speaker 3: But then they expand it to actually illustrate how many
Speaker 3: people there are, and they like La and New York
Speaker 3: and all the cities grow to be like they drown
Speaker 3: out the entire image. But all those tiny dots are
Speaker 3: where a lot of comedy clubs are, and a lot
Speaker 3: of people are too. So it's probably not a bad
Speaker 3: business choice if you're willing to make the moral decision
Speaker 3: to go that direction, Like it probably makes.
Speaker 2: Sense as a business, yeah, but then I want to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 4: It's not the business I got into. So now, probably
Speaker 4: chur you said that I said I was missing out.
Speaker 4: I don't think I'm missing out.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: No, Yeah, I'm very you know. I've got the greatest
Speaker 4: wife and son in the world. We got a nice house,
Speaker 4: I got a nice job.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: I listened to the talking heads. I mean everything is
Speaker 2: really needs to be.
Speaker 3: As long as you have David Byrne in your life,
Speaker 3: you're not missing out on all these gigs.
Speaker 2: Can I tell you something.
Speaker 4: I went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Speaker 4: in twenty sixteen, or it could have been fifteen, and
Speaker 4: it was right after David Bowie died and they opened
Speaker 4: the show.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, what yeah, just kid, Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: The show opened with David Byrne singing Fame and I
Speaker 4: never met David Byrne in my life, and the version
Speaker 4: that he did was phenomenal.
Speaker 2: It was great.
Speaker 4: But for some reason, he comes off very stand offish
Speaker 4: and like he's going to be a dick, right that
Speaker 4: That's that's how I see David Byrne. So he comes
Speaker 4: off stage and I happened to be right in the
Speaker 4: hallway backstage where he comes off, and.
Speaker 5: I meant and I meant this, I literally, like my
Speaker 5: body couldn't stop me from saying this. I just went
Speaker 5: that was great, because it was. And he said he
Speaker 5: stopped and it took my hand and said thank you
Speaker 5: so much. Oh my god, what a pleasure to see
Speaker 5: I see.
Speaker 4: You, and kept moving and I was like, I would
Speaker 4: I would have bet money David Byurn would have just
Speaker 4: kept walking past me had I said that.
Speaker 2: And I was wrong. And what I'm saying is, don't
Speaker 2: judge a book by its giant suit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't you think it's like because that character that
Speaker 1: he has kind of played on on stage as the
Speaker 1: lead singer of that band where it's very it's very
Speaker 1: like cutting edge and art pop and kind of like
Speaker 1: the coolest of the cool and we grew up in
Speaker 1: like the or Not, you know, but the nineties where
Speaker 1: everyone was like aggressively rude and like if you weren't in,
Speaker 1: you were out, and that kind of like shit where
Speaker 1: it's like that is pretty standard. But I don't think,
Speaker 1: like I think people who are really as talented as
Speaker 1: David Byrne is like one of the greatest musicians, right,
Speaker 1: I think people like that are don't need to do
Speaker 1: that bullshit, you know what I mean? Like and he
Speaker 1: I think he is probably pretty tapped in in that way.
Speaker 1: But it does make me happy to know that that's confirmed.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, guys a question is two comedians.
Speaker 2: Is it is it lame?
Speaker 4: If I write down don't judge a book by his
Speaker 4: big suit it's I was good, and it the fact that.
Speaker 2: I know that came here from your organic brain corner
Speaker 2: very much right it.
Speaker 4: Now I can write it, Okay. So when you see
Speaker 4: him do that at at the Largo, you're not gonna
Speaker 4: go oh, look at me. He did something out in
Speaker 4: his act.
Speaker 2: No, no, all right, that's where you write jokes when
Speaker 2: you're riffing with pals. I think that's been my problem.
Speaker 2: I haven't hung out with anybody since twenty nineteen. Hey,
Speaker 2: what's up, don't what's that character? I'll tell you what David.
Speaker 1: Character Burne would have been like, ew shut.
Speaker 3: I rewatched it and I know it's older, but it
Speaker 3: was during COVID times that the Comedians and Cards getting
Speaker 3: Coffee episode with Eddie Murphy and he was like, I
Speaker 3: used to write all my jokes hanging out with friends,
Speaker 3: and I don't hang out with friends.
Speaker 2: I'll say, oh, that made everyone law laugh. Let me
Speaker 2: write it down.
Speaker 3: So I feel like I don't I can't write material
Speaker 3: right now. And for that to come from that guy.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, okay, that validates how I've been figued.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's not sure.
Speaker 4: Hey Eddie's not doing it? Yeah yeah, but Eddie hasn't
Speaker 4: been writing jokes for thirty years.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah right.
Speaker 1: Although did you see him on Fallon? He was just
Speaker 1: on Fallon recently, either Fallen or Colbert. Sorry I can't remember,
Speaker 1: but he was so funny, really so yes, I'll try.
Speaker 1: I'll find the clip and send it to you. So
Speaker 1: funny and so real. Yeah, really did you see.
Speaker 2: Him in dream Girls? He was amazing in Dreamgirls?
Speaker 1: He was amazing.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not one of these people like that
Speaker 2: guy deserved an award because he was like he really did, though,
Speaker 2: deserve the Academy Award. He was so yeah, you would
Speaker 2: never go you know who that was? It was Eddie
Speaker 2: Murphy and he was, yes, as good.
Speaker 4: As Denzel would have ever been or anybody else that
Speaker 4: would have fit the casting for that role.
Speaker 1: Uh, he's such a good actor. Yes, I mean Bowfinger,
Speaker 1: may I just say both?
Speaker 2: You can say it. I'm not going to listen to it,
Speaker 2: but you could say it.
Speaker 3: Or the fact that and anyone can rewatch it and
Speaker 3: Beverly Hills Cop is a perfect movie. And at that
Speaker 3: time I don't think he had any chopps as an actor,
Speaker 3: like as a dramatic actor, but he's so good, subtly
Speaker 3: good at the actual drama in that movie. He's like,
Speaker 3: he's one of my heroes. And it's not because of
Speaker 3: his stand up, of course, because it's not very raw
Speaker 3: and delirious.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, but growing up he was on when
Speaker 1: when I first started watching SNL, like when I was ten,
Speaker 1: he was a cast member and he was so electric.
Speaker 1: It's like it's so obvious that he was more than
Speaker 1: just you know, gifted in more than just comedy. It's
Speaker 1: like he wasn't it wasn't it clearly he just had
Speaker 1: it in that way, Like anytime he was on screen,
Speaker 1: you're just like, I don't whatever he's doing, I'm on.
Speaker 2: And when he was on SNEL, he's probably nineteen or something, right,
Speaker 2: just a chug.
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I think he was really young.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I recommend that uh seinfold the Comedians and Cars episode.
Speaker 2: I loved him in that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, is there a way to get that split screen
Speaker 4: so I could just see the passenger seat version of that?
Speaker 2: I know, I know why is Seinfeld such a stick
Speaker 2: in the mud?
Speaker 4: He right, he kind of somebody will say something funny
Speaker 4: and he has a way of, yeah, of a either
Speaker 4: not getting it or b turning it into like how
Speaker 4: they can make that into a twelve minute.
Speaker 2: Bit as opposed to just laughing at just shy.
Speaker 3: I promise you specifically on this episode, you won't feel
Speaker 3: that he's so excited obviously to be in the car
Speaker 3: with him, and they do have this history from early
Speaker 3: stand up. So actually in that episode, that's why I
Speaker 3: enjoyed it so much. They were both great in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will.
Speaker 4: I will watch that because I have not watched those
Speaker 4: for that reason. Do they Yeah, it's Robes. When he
Speaker 4: was sitting he was I think he was with Gary
Speaker 4: shandling uh and he was at that coffee shop and said, no.
Speaker 2: It wasn't it was. It might have been Larry David,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: He's talking to somebody across the table and he's like,
Speaker 4: can you believe that I came up with this idea?
Speaker 2: Just comedians talking to each other on camera?
Speaker 4: It's like, you didn't come up with that, Jerry, You're
Speaker 4: like the forty nine thousandth person to come up with
Speaker 4: that idea.
Speaker 2: You're just the most famous to have come up with
Speaker 2: that idea.
Speaker 1: Also, what is the empty, deep dark pit inside of
Speaker 1: you where you are Seinfeld saying out loud to another
Speaker 1: adult on camera, can you believe I came up.
Speaker 2: With this idea? Ye?
Speaker 1: Right? I mean when is what?
Speaker 2: When?
Speaker 1: Is it enough?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: What when it does it register for you personally that
Speaker 1: you are you are already there? Already and you don't
Speaker 1: need to.
Speaker 2: Do that, and you've done it all. You won, you won,
Speaker 2: you got it all.
Speaker 1: Your name is synonymous with stand up comedy, with comedy,
Speaker 1: with successful comedy, with legendary comedy, and yet still the
Speaker 1: scraping and the grabbing it like what why?
Speaker 2: Yeah? In that curious that you can see that there's
Speaker 2: still like a low self esteem in there. It's weird.
Speaker 2: It's weird him because you know what, he deserves all
Speaker 2: the success. I wish him. He was the first. This
Speaker 2: is true. My brother I lived out in California in.
Speaker 4: The mid eighties to go to uh, the American Academy
Speaker 4: of Dramatic Arts, and uh my brother came out to
Speaker 4: visit and then drive back to Chicago with me. And
Speaker 4: but while he was here, Seinfeld was taping his first
Speaker 4: special at the Roxy on Sunset and my brother and
Speaker 4: I went and so like that, I thought he was
Speaker 4: great then, you know what I mean, like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: I get a chance to sit in that guy, the
Speaker 4: guy saw on Johnny Carson.
Speaker 2: I get to watch his special and I'm years old.
Speaker 2: You weren't doing stand up yet, you know, I was
Speaker 2: just a kid. I was just a kid, right, out
Speaker 2: of high school. Yeah, yeah, okay, and it was, uh,
Speaker 2: it was great.
Speaker 4: It was you know, So you know, I guess I'm
Speaker 4: saying that like I've been into. I think he's I
Speaker 4: think he's the best of that generation. I really, yeah,
Speaker 4: he's he's a technician, he's great. So I don't want
Speaker 4: my I don't Probably part was bitter about everything. I'm
Speaker 4: a comedian trying to find funny. Yah, Jerry's great.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think what it is too is
Speaker 1: kind of what I was saying before. Just like, to me,
Speaker 1: the joy of comedy and being with it's like you
Speaker 1: know what's funny, and you're spending time with people who
Speaker 1: also know what's funny. And in this world there aren't
Speaker 1: that many people like that that are attuned, nicely attuned
Speaker 1: that way, that can hear it and that can appreciate it.
Speaker 1: So you, if you have this credit of being the
Speaker 1: king of all comedy, how come you can't laugh at
Speaker 1: other people's mother fucking one hundred percent?
Speaker 2: That's but you nailed it, you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you also maybe think cared of what you just said,
Speaker 4: like when we and again we're not we're not special people.
Speaker 2: We've just chosen to do this and if if we walked.
Speaker 4: Into almost quote Steve Martin, if we walked into a
Speaker 4: plumbers convention, we wouldn't know what to talk about either.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah.
Speaker 4: But when we go to a family function or to
Speaker 4: a if I go to a school event for Oliver,
Speaker 4: uh I don't know how to talk to people because
Speaker 4: they don't they're not they don't have that rhythm that
Speaker 4: we have where we kind of know we could say
Speaker 4: things to each other and you're going to laugh at it,
Speaker 4: or you're gonna bust by balls because it wasn't funny.
Speaker 4: You're The last thing you're gonna do is just stare
Speaker 4: at me and then walk away, which is what happened
Speaker 4: exactly most conversations at my son's school events. So I
Speaker 4: just choose not to say anything because if I'm either
Speaker 4: I'm either a bore or I'm sure that people get
Speaker 4: back in their car and go that guy was a
Speaker 4: bore or he was obnoxious. But so I just choose
Speaker 4: to do nothing.
Speaker 1: But these days, well at least for myself and Chris
Speaker 1: and I have talked about this before, where because of
Speaker 1: quarantine and COVID and all these things and the kind
Speaker 1: of social basically the social chalkboard has been erased, and
Speaker 1: we're all back at square one, awkwardly trying to like
Speaker 1: re establish any sense of who we are and what
Speaker 1: we're doing. Yes, like that idea where I feel like
Speaker 1: now we're all awkward now, we all don't know what
Speaker 1: to say. We and I My thing is either I
Speaker 1: am completely silent watching people or I cannot stop woking
Speaker 1: and like cannot stop and looking at people, going I
Speaker 1: should be not talking anymore, but I'm now I'm still yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's continuing on guilty guilty as humiliating so embarrassing.
Speaker 4: What uh, completely off topic. The white dog either that's
Speaker 4: the that's the beast thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's her.
Speaker 1: She's a surviva.
Speaker 3: One eye is one eye still kind of lazy because
Speaker 3: of the she just has a.
Speaker 1: Dark skin around one eye and skin around the other.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, because it looks like he just got a
Speaker 2: little fight or something.
Speaker 1: She is, she's kind of so. I found her on
Speaker 1: a like a dog rescue website. Brian Cook's girlfriend Ye
Speaker 1: worms for a bunch of different dog rescues, so she
Speaker 1: recommended one and I picked her because I thought she
Speaker 1: was old. Because because my dog Frank is fifteen and
Speaker 1: so I was like, Frank needs a companion. And so
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, I'll get this old dog. You know,
Speaker 1: no one's going to pick her. I was like kind
Speaker 1: of like, oh, that's sad. I have I better get
Speaker 1: that dog. No one's going to pick her. I go
Speaker 1: to pick her up. She's a year old. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: a straight up puppy. But and Chris knows this, but
Speaker 1: she's basically kind of brought Frank back to life because
Speaker 1: my old dog, George, who they grew up together, she
Speaker 1: died last not this Christmas, but the one before and
Speaker 1: then and then Frank was kind of depressed for a
Speaker 1: little while, and I was like I can't take it.
Speaker 1: And so I was like, oh, we'll get an old
Speaker 1: gal for him to hang out with. Well, now he's
Speaker 1: running around like twice a day, like running around and
Speaker 1: like he's it's very sweet. He's like, it's all begun
Speaker 1: again and we've started over.
Speaker 2: That's so cool. You couldn't have even pulled that off
Speaker 2: on purpose, so that I know. So this dog just
Speaker 2: doesn't photograph. Well, that's what we learn from that story.
Speaker 1: It's zoom it zoom.
Speaker 2: These are tiny screens.
Speaker 1: It's just like me where you got to get the
Speaker 1: angle right, you know what I mean, or it's like not,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna.
Speaker 4: You heard that story about Barbara streisand recently right where
Speaker 4: she refused to go on Jimmy Kimmel because uh, Kim
Speaker 4: went and that she had to be shot from a
Speaker 4: certain angle and she.
Speaker 1: Has to sit on the host side basically, and Kim was.
Speaker 4: Like, well, I'll do it, but we got to acknowledge
Speaker 4: it why we're doing it, or else it's gonna be weird.
Speaker 4: And She's like, no, you can't acknowledge it, and which
Speaker 4: is a shame. I love Barber Streis and I went
Speaker 4: and saw her live in concert, way too late in
Speaker 4: my life.
Speaker 1: But she's amazing.
Speaker 2: She is amazing. It was the show was a little sluggish,
Speaker 2: to be honest with you.
Speaker 4: It was a little she does solve those bali it's
Speaker 4: a lot of and you know what, it was a
Speaker 4: lot of I hope I get the group right.
Speaker 2: The four dudes El Divo is that the four dudes
Speaker 2: who sing?
Speaker 1: Oh those singers, Yeah, you know, they were part of it,
Speaker 1: and it was they did a lot of it.
Speaker 4: And I'm not there to see Il Divo, you know,
Speaker 4: even if it's even if you're just gonna do thirty
Speaker 4: five minutes, Barbara, just do thirty five and let me
Speaker 4: get in and out. I don't need to see Il
Speaker 4: Devo to pat out the show. So I feel like
Speaker 4: I got a full show. I'm I'm good just seeing
Speaker 4: a legend do a tight set and scram But well, yeah.
Speaker 3: You know what I appreciate about that story though, is
Speaker 3: obviously that angle was because of a hurt a nose reason, right,
Speaker 3: Like She's like, oh, I can't be seen from this angle.
Speaker 3: My mom always used to talk about my mom and
Speaker 3: Barbaris streisand had a similar nose or that's my mom's thing,
Speaker 3: And I bet that's why she was like, no, this
Speaker 3: is my good side. Well a show if I but
Speaker 3: she never She's like, that's how I'll deal with it.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get it fixed or whatever. I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna yeah, I'll do your show if I'm on.
Speaker 4: If I'm on your But at least it looks to
Speaker 4: me at the age that she's at, and again, she's
Speaker 4: a legend, she's everything she's gotten. You could also laugh
Speaker 4: at yourself and say and if Jimmy says, well, we
Speaker 4: have to address it go you know what, Yeah, let's
Speaker 4: have some fun with that and then go And then
Speaker 4: even all you have to say is yeah, I think
Speaker 4: I look better from the side, and you move on
Speaker 4: and nobody talks about it ever again. Right, Yeah, but
Speaker 4: you're right. I bet that is all it would have been. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I look better from this side.
Speaker 2: That's the joke.
Speaker 3: So we had to get a desk remade because of you,
Speaker 3: and she's like, yeah, this is my side, and then.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to commercial. That got a huge laugh. Yeah,
Speaker 2: here's my cousin exactly.
Speaker 1: It's very humanizing. She she was on Ellen when I
Speaker 1: worked on Ellen, and we had to do that thing
Speaker 1: where we switched sides. There was she had a very
Speaker 1: special white microphone that she used. There was a it
Speaker 1: was an entire uh, it was an entire lighting thing
Speaker 1: that took a couple days. The lighting they had the
Speaker 1: lighting specialists come in and change. So I think it's
Speaker 1: that thing too, where I bet you she has tried
Speaker 1: to be cool a bunch of times in her career
Speaker 1: and then looked back and gone, it should not have
Speaker 1: looked like yeah, which I'm sorry, but the first time
Speaker 1: I got to be on Conan with Brendon Davis, the
Speaker 1: very lovely hair and makeup people. The hair lady decided
Speaker 1: to curl my hair and I walked out and I
Speaker 1: was just like, I don't even know what this is.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I agreed to this. I've never
Speaker 1: had hair like this, and it was literally like these
Speaker 1: kind of sausage curls like I was a.
Speaker 2: Five year old, I remember, and it looked cool.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: That's just my two cents. Jimmy, you were there during
Speaker 2: that right like that. I was there. I said, ladies,
Speaker 2: let's let's fire up the curling I heard, to make
Speaker 2: her look nice. Yeah, I remember you.
Speaker 4: At the beginning of the show, I said, there's nothing
Speaker 4: there's nothing wrong with sausage rolls, ladies.
Speaker 2: Let's let's make it happens in Chicago, baby.
Speaker 1: Everybody loves a sausage cured your baby think.
Speaker 4: I always got to kick out of Like when you
Speaker 4: see a bride somebody on their wedding day and they
Speaker 4: they choose to wear their hair in curls or something
Speaker 4: in a way they don't they've never worn their hair
Speaker 4: like that in their life. And then they're they're they're
Speaker 4: to their their words, not mine, their biggest day and
Speaker 4: they choose to wear their hair in a way that,
Speaker 4: you know, like that pulls them out of their comfort
Speaker 4: zone and you you don't look like that.
Speaker 2: And then they go on, I don't look good in
Speaker 2: these pictures because you're not you.
Speaker 1: You just say it's different because you it's like the
Speaker 1: no one. Most women never dress like that. So when
Speaker 1: they go to do it for that one big special
Speaker 1: day and you're making the craziest decisions with the weirdest Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so hard, but you are truly putting yourself into
Speaker 1: the hands of whoever is going to take care of
Speaker 1: that for you, because and it can go so wrong
Speaker 1: where you're like, yeah, a loose, a beautiful loose. That's
Speaker 1: what classy, rich ladies do, right, and then you end
Speaker 1: up having like flow from alice hair.
Speaker 2: It always so humiliated. You nailed it's and I get it.
Speaker 2: It's you know, I'm not putting it down.
Speaker 4: I'm making a joke as on a community, but I
Speaker 4: know that's also they want to look like a princess
Speaker 4: that day.
Speaker 2: I understand all of it, but it's still like that
Speaker 2: the guy's marrying you, you know, not a child. Shirley
Speaker 2: Temple that's right, thank you, Right.
Speaker 1: Jimmy, really quick, can you write this down on your list?
Speaker 1: You should do an album and the title of the
Speaker 1: album should be I'm making a joke because I'm a comedian,
Speaker 1: just like you say about a lot and it makes
Speaker 1: me laugh.
Speaker 3: And on the cover as you with like a five
Speaker 3: foot wingspan shoulder suit, giant Greg.
Speaker 4: That gives away the punchline of the one new joke, Chris,
Speaker 4: I can't do that. I've written one joke in three years.
Speaker 4: I can't put it on the cover.
Speaker 2: Well, I've been wanting to ask this and I need
Speaker 2: both your opinions.
Speaker 3: Is it racist if I confuse Peter Gabriel and David
Speaker 3: Byrne all the time.
Speaker 1: They're very similar.
Speaker 2: I mean they've always been the same person to me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Tell I'm listening. Yeah, I think it's racist.
Speaker 2: It is, Karen, I follow through and writing it down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, great good. I think you should think about it.
Speaker 2: I'm going to think about that and a lot of things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that is your get her done.
Speaker 3: I think if you just constantly said I make jokes
Speaker 3: because I'm a comedian.
Speaker 1: And I'm joking because i'm a community I'm.
Speaker 3: Seeing a rotisserie cassette tape thing and a truck stop
Speaker 3: riddled with those cassettes. Yeah, Jimmy, when I did your
Speaker 3: pop Cultured show recently, and it's so funny to hear
Speaker 3: you say you haven't been doing stand up and you
Speaker 3: because you were so funny.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the episode I was on.
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 2: Do you remember it being you were really funny at
Speaker 2: the top of that. I take your text word for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you really were firing in a weird way.
Speaker 3: I think this having our backs against the wall because
Speaker 3: we feel like we haven't been doing it so we're
Speaker 3: not as polished. Put you in the default position of
Speaker 3: actually defense mechanism being funny the way you learn to
Speaker 3: be funny in seventh grade.
Speaker 2: And that's how funny you were that night, and you.
Speaker 3: Were doing that thing where you were you kept without
Speaker 3: them deserving it, fucking with people in the audience, and
Speaker 3: it's right when I got mean, this is what it's
Speaker 3: talking about. Forty minutes ago, you would talk shit about yourself.
Speaker 3: It was like a perfect balance and you you kept
Speaker 3: doing it and the audience at Flappers recognized it. So
Speaker 3: if they can recognize it there, I'm just saying you're
Speaker 3: ready to go to some of these tiny red dot states.
Speaker 2: Well, you're nice to say that. You know. When I
Speaker 2: was set around with Jerry and we created comedy, I remember,
Speaker 2: I guess, well, thank you for that. That's very kind
Speaker 2: of you. Uh yeah, you know, I uh yeah, I
Speaker 2: guess I try to be funny. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, you weren't even good that you do. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm a comedian. Guys in a comedian. That's why I
Speaker 2: make jokes. That's what I do.
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. I would just like to say this,
Speaker 1: the irony of that Jerry Seinfeld saying that me and
Speaker 1: Chris thought of that. Actually, no comedians in cars getting comedy.
Speaker 2: That's that's our way about.
Speaker 4: Well no, Michelle Balloon did. Walking with Michelle, so never mind,
Speaker 4: I apologize.
Speaker 2: I thought so different. Motive trips, Yeah, it's a different thing.
Speaker 4: Biking with Jimmy is my new show, by the way,
Speaker 4: coming out the next month, where I interviewed someone what
Speaker 4: we both are on huffies going up hills.
Speaker 2: How horrible would that be? By the way, just two
Speaker 2: guys on bicycle. Yeah, I do, uh, I do a
Speaker 2: swimming one. It's very hard to listen to. Is it
Speaker 2: hoof you head on? Chris? Uh, well, one of our
Speaker 2: best guests. Uh, you get it. Oh, I got it.
Speaker 2: That's the only direction I could have gone.
Speaker 1: Right, You had one option and you execute Phelps very nice. Yeah, guys,
Speaker 1: that was one hour, ten minutes.
Speaker 2: We nailed.
Speaker 1: It was smooth as so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was thank you for having me really nice.
Speaker 2: But you don't agree, Jimmy, No, it was great.
Speaker 4: It was wonderful, right yeah, S and s baby, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm in I certainly not say me to give the impression.
Speaker 2: Guys, I'm a comedian. I say things to be fun,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, That's what I do.
Speaker 4: I'm just now you've got me self conscious care because
Speaker 4: there was a comedian that I used to worked with
Speaker 4: a lot in Chicago who would do a joke and
Speaker 4: then he would do the punchline and even go, I'm
Speaker 4: just kidding.
Speaker 2: It's like, no shit, you were a comedian at that
Speaker 2: point of you being up Thursday. Just kid stop it.
Speaker 2: I'm just stop announcing it. Yeah, it's just that word.
Speaker 3: There's other ways of saying it, and yeah, it's okay
Speaker 3: to let people know, especially these days.
Speaker 4: All Right, Well, I guess That's what I was doing, Chris,
Speaker 4: is I was just trying to be safe in these
Speaker 4: twenty twenty threes.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, safety first, guys, boost up, get your vacs.
Speaker 3: Can't be can't be the way the monsters we used
Speaker 3: to be, right Jimmy five years ago? Ah, you remember me,
Speaker 3: I do rowdy powdered up, doing all the wrong things,
Speaker 3: just kidding.
Speaker 2: Sure, I did it, good stuff. Look at that you've
Speaker 2: come alive, Chris, the day the night will kicked in.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, well I got it. I don't. I've
Speaker 2: never been sick for two weeks before. But uh I
Speaker 2: thought I was gonna.
Speaker 3: Get away with nobody noticing, and then you noticed it
Speaker 3: within two minutes.
Speaker 2: We Uh, I know we have to go, and by
Speaker 2: that I mean I got to get here. I can't
Speaker 2: take any more of this.
Speaker 1: But Blossom is insistent that we go. She won't shut up.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna just say this, Chris, You've brought a good point.
Speaker 4: Because of COVID and stuff, we don't know how to
Speaker 4: just be sick anymore. We assume everything's like we should
Speaker 4: either be perfectly healthy or we're dying.
Speaker 2: We don't know how to go. I think I've had
Speaker 2: a cold, So yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3: I think you're the best ever, and I know Karen
Speaker 3: does too. We thank you guys, talk about you behind
Speaker 3: your back in a positive way.
Speaker 2: Soda is her dog. I thank you and I love
Speaker 2: you too both. And let's let Karen walk the dog.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, she's absolutely okay, terrific. I love you, Jimmy.
