This is a trap to get me to say something mean about people with a progeria, isn't it?
Not at all.
I haven't heard it at all.
They have powerful ears.
Weird.
They have those big weasel ears.
He had huge ears.
Small chin.
Tiny nose.
Tiny nose.
Big car.
Fievel.
Yeah.
And he was going west and east trying to scare people out of the graveyard.
Laughing at tombstones.
trying to scare people out of the graveyard laughing at tombstones if i was if i worked in a graveyard and it was my job to be like a graveyard closes soon i think
i'd be really tempted to have like a black cloak and just show up and be like graveyard closes
soon oh yeah to be spooky this man was spooky by default because he looked like a crime against
god's plan i keep on that man would have been i've jumped
in the river you know what i mean it's like no i'm not scared of the cemetery i just don't want
to see you ever again and that means life stops oh yeah and he looked like he slept upside down
he was a real possum-esque character honestly yeah. Yeah, that's true. I can't see a progeriac without thinking, just like at night, his eyes glowing.
He's a nocturnal.
He must fear birds, too, because he's so little.
He's sitting on a phone book, driving around, rustling people out of the cemetery.
All I know is that he dressed for the job he wanted.
You know what I mean?
He definitely...
Can you imagine living your life knowing that any moment a bird could skip you off and take you away?
Living on borrowed time.
Yeah.
Well, Sam, you've never had to worry about that.
No, but I mean, when I was in Australia, there was those ostriches.
Oh, okay.
There was those emus down there.
And there's also that, uh, the most deadly bird in the world.
Uh, the cassowary.
The cassowary the cassowary yeah they're just like they have uh talons and they're built for killing kangaroos oh yeah they're like a nightmare
like if you if it was like you know 200 bc there'd be like a religion based around beating them
i mean they could pick they could pick me up if they're picking up a kangaroo. Oh, one of those. If you're over there, you're just scratching them.
I think they puncture, and then they get their beak in, and they tear.
Ooh, God.
Yep.
Only a matter of time until they find their way here.
Oh, yeah.
That's why we've got to close these borders.
It's coming.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, because they can't fly, so if we have a wall, we're okay.
That's true.
Yeah.
Just like the cemetery.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. So thank you for joining us
On another episode
Of the Chubby Behemoth
Brand Podcast
I'm joined today
By my guest
Danny Maupin
Hello
And a man named Chris
Hello
Yes
Who we discussed
How much of his name
He wanted to use
We decided upon Chris
That's perfect
Just Chris Uh huh We're recording here live From his beautiful living room much of his name he wanted to use we decided upon chris it's perfect just chris uh-huh we're
recording here live from his beautiful living room herbal excuse me kitchen clever way of calling me
fat that's what you call it the sex palace well i did come in here and you were shoveling leftovers
while i was in the shower i can't let sam see there's food yeah you were
secret eating to keep it away from me and danny you'd sink your towel and sit oh yeah
it's an old adage when you don't have enough steak to share you wolf it in private yeah exactly you
don't chew either and then when we're sitting in here you scrape the leftovers into the trash
instead of being like anyone want this yeah you like, you're like, through your head, you're like, I've got two options.
Scrape it or eat it on the toilet.
You know?
Anyone with scrape, it's more commendable.
I didn't think you bozos would notice.
Oh, yeah, we didn't notice you eating steak over there?
Over the trash can just in case we got frisky?
Just in case we made a move. A couple of guys just hanging out in the cemetery asking for a ride.
Yeah.
From you, and we noticed you saying, he's got everything.
He's got a car, he's got steak.
That was a fun text to send.
Hey, can you pick us up at Colonel Sanders' grave?
We're trapped in the rain.
We didn't even make it to his grave.
No, we didn't.
Yeah, we just hung out at Muhammad Ali's grave,
and then we were going to walk over there,
and we got distracted.
Yeah, we were just trapped.
Yeah.
And the thing about,
and it's a labyrinth in there.
You can get lost, for sure.
Oh, it's huge, too.
Chris, come a bit closer to the mic, if you would.
Yeah, it's a labyrinth, and we had bit closer to the mic, if you would. Yeah, it's elaborate.
We had a long, arduous journey getting there.
Yes, we definitely walked.
It started off as like a 30-minute walk, right?
38 minutes initially.
Ended up being about an hour.
The thing about living in Louisville is that when you get a text that says,
Meet me at Colonel Sanders' grave, you know what it means and you just kind of head out.
Yeah.
You don't ask any questions.
They need help.
The fact that I'm used to that really tickles me.
Yes.
That is great.
It wasn't novel at all to you.
You were like, oh, okay.
Well, shit.
Got to make sure the boys are all right.
Yeah, better get down to the graveyard
I'll be there
in eight minutes
I know exactly
how far away it is
it's in Google's maps
Google's maps
it is in there
yeah
you can put
Colonel Sanders grave
and it's like
you know
seven minute drive
and it has
business hours
and it says
Colonel Sanders grave
closes at 445
and it's horrifying
to think that it was open all day.
Well, it used to be open 24-7.
There used to be a drive-thru.
Then too many kids threw Dr. Peppers at the gravestone.
Yeah, you can grab a bucket at the grave.
Yeah, you really activated.
I appreciate you.
Your wife's probably like,
look, we've got the house by ourselves.
I've got to go to work.
Maybe we can get a little frisky.
And you're like, the boys need've got the house by ourselves. I've got to go to work. Maybe we can get a little frisky.
And you're like, the boys need me. You shove her off your lap.
I've got to get to the graveyard before 4.45.
We stole sexy time from your wife.
Yeah.
I see the bad signal.
I take it seriously.
Yeah.
That's true.
Yeah.
I mean, sorry we also got into your car.
You had an open container.
I was soaked.
Your back seat's probably rinked now.
Yeah, I mean, we were just soaked from rain and sweat.
Yeah.
So fucking humid.
And a couple of idiots.
Hey, Chris, thanks.
Hey, you have a black Lexus.
That's pretty cool.
So let's put that down to a PT Cruiser real quick.
We dropped the property value.
Oh, yeah.
There's no resale.
As soon as we sat in there.
Wouldn't it be great
if your car morphed into
whatever your cargo was?
Yeah.
The shitty of the people
that are in the car
just goes,
oh.
It straights down.
If he comes in a
Dick Tracy car.
Oh yeah,
it would have been a panel van
when I got in there.
It would have been
like a horse trailer.
And I'm just in the back
making eye contact
with people on the highway
letting them know I'm sad too.
I've never seen a happy horse in there.
Yeah, baleful.
Because I'm full of hay bales.
That's why they say that.
A little entomology with a little tea dog.
I don't know.
We were not laughing.
We were not laughing at anyone's grave.
No, we did not. We did not do that at all. We were not laughing at anyone's grave. No, we did not.
We did not do that at all.
We didn't laugh so loud that a little man with
progeria pulled up in a security car.
That didn't happen.
If this was a Patreon,
I would reveal what we were laughing at.
Danny definitely didn't
see a grave and collapse with
laughter.
You didn't. It didn't happen.
It didn't happen. Yeah.
Shutting up just incriminated me.
When I pulled up to the
cemetery, I didn't. The man
at the gate didn't say
when I said I was here to pick up my friends.
Which is the best thing to say in a
cemetery. Yeah, he thought you were batshit.
I'm here to pick up my friends.
Okay, sir.
Very good.
We just sit at the same intersection every day in the car.
They'll get in. They'll get in.
My friends are dead. They're dead.
They're dead, Tim.
Get out of here. The grave's closed.
We were
down at the little lake there, the reflection
pond where people scatter ashes
just drinking beers and smoking cigs.
And that old man came close
and then he saw us and he turned around right away.
Yeah, yeah.
The guy at the gate didn't say,
oh, I got a call about them when I mentioned my friends.
He didn't say that.
Oh, yeah.
No, yeah, that's also just false.
It was never said.
There wasn't a walkie-talkie involved in our cemetery hijinks.
Uh-huh.
You know?
Can you imagine that your job is bouncing people from the graveyard or something?
Like, how do they have a drone or something?
There's so many nooks and crannies in that place.
How do they cover all that area?
Yeah, we got two men in here.
It's huge.
Wow.
It's huge.
One of the biggest cemeteries I've probably ever. It's beautiful. It's giant and huge and beautiful. We got two men in here. It's huge. One of the biggest cemeteries I've probably ever.
It's beautiful.
It's giant and huge
and beautiful.
We got two men in here.
They are different shaped.
They are easy to spot.
Oh, yeah.
One's giggling
like a sorghum wrench.
The other one is pink
and he is soaked.
Got a couple of good time
Charlies in here.
Yeah. Either one of them could be on a leash
and it would make sense.
So come and get them, Prageriac.
Hey, Augie, go find the boys.
Augie!
He drove up in a white minivan
that had kind of like what, you know,
siren lights sort of thing, situation on top.
It looked like take your just like
malformed son
to work day
and like
I am holding back
almost vomiting
from laughter
in front of the grave
not because there was
a funny grave
not because of that
it just
it was
we were just having fun
yeah
and
had nothing to do
with a very silly grave
you weren't being racist
I was not being racist.
You weren't laughing at a widow's name.
It didn't start that way.
Yes, it did.
You saw it, you pointed at it, and you started laughing really hard.
It had nothing to do with that at first.
Just the last name got you good enough.
Yes!
Yeah.
So anyway.
Okay.
Okay.
But anyway. How did that happen? yes yeah so anyway okay okay but anyway i'm just dying laughing in front of this grave
and then this white van pulls up with little whites and sam and i just look at each other go
oh shit we were facetiming david board right that's true Not because the grave was so funny. We just wanted to talk to him.
Yeah, so he pulls up, and he's like, y'all looking at the graves?
And we're like, David, it's the fuzz.
We got to go.
And he laughed at that.
Yeah, the guy laughed at that, which is funny.
But that's my job.
I'm a grave cop.
I work at the grave.
I go around asking people, are you looking at graves?
I wanted to be a real cop, but they said, you looking at graves? Yep. I wanted to be a real cop,
but they said,
you have to be as tall as the graves
to be a real cop.
And I'm not.
You must be this tall.
Yeah.
You must be this tall
to harass the visitors.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I mean,
it looked like he slept
in a harness
attached to a bigger freak.
You know what I mean?
He did.
Come on.
What?
Nothing.
He's never going to hear hear this they don't have this
pod in the channel where he sleeps don't just say whatever you want because nobody hears it
well you know anyway this is what the people like uh we've had a lot of fun you set me up
yesterday for one of the most fun things that i've done on stage in a while and i had to have you on
because it was your you were you were seed, and I just put a little
bit of water on it.
Sure.
But.
Yeah, a little sunshine, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We were, well, I don't remember how we got the name.
I know how we got there.
Okay.
I can tell the story.
Danny Maupin.
So we were having, you know, as three comedians, just a very kind of earnest conversation.
Yep.
About how, also, we're in Louisville, Kentucky right now,
and Louisville, Kentucky is now starting to get a surplus of comedy clubs.
There's four now almost.
Right, which is, you know, this is a two-horse town.
Yeah.
I'm kidding.
It's like the biggest city in Kentucky.
One of them is married to that graveyard security guard.
But, you know. to that graveyard security guard. Egbert, do you take sniffles?
It's just a lot.
And we were talking about the difference in comedy
with bookers. Some bookers
are now totally just leaning towards
digital
and TikTok and social media stuff.
Right, yeah, YouTube stars.
And we were talking about how we know other comedians that are just like, you know, they've been doing this for a long time, crafting a really good hour that's entertaining for, you know, a crowd.
And then all of a sudden at the next club, you got Ping Pong Jeff.
Yes.
You know?
Yeah, my thought was, I get why a club would book something that is guaranteed money, that has a draw, that brings people out of that.
I'm not, you know, I get that.
Right, and it's for their crowd, so it's going to go well and everything.
But what stings about it is that there are so many other good comedians you could have booked that you've got to say no to one of them.
And the wording is going to be, oh, I'd love to have you the weekend, but I'm already booked up.
I've got Pink Pong Jeff here.
Yeah.
And then Nick DiPaolo is on the other end of the phone.
How have I been doing this 40 years, kid?
Yeah.
And then just Ping Pong Jeff just made us laugh so hard.
Just that name.
Yeah, that got me good.
And then last night on stage, I was closing the show,
and I said, hey, I don't want to bring down the mood.
I know we've been having fun, but the comedy community, actually the world at large, lost a good one recently.
Some comedians are just clowns.
They don't have much to say, but we lost a real truth teller, and the world got a little less funny.
So ladies and gentlemen, please raise a glass
and let's remember
Ping Pong Jeff.
As I was leading up to it,
Chris was at the bar, right down the barrel
of the gun at 12 o'clock.
We just saw it happen because it was an inside joke
from like 40 minutes ago.
We saw it and went, no, this is happening?
I was dying laughing during the whole setup.
Yes, you were.
And I was like, why are you laughing?
That was what got me.
I was like, why are you laughing?
The man died.
It's because no one just laughed at the name.
When you said Pigwong Jeff, nobody was like, that's a funny name.
I'm shocked.
I was like, how did I get this?
They took it seriously.
It was taken so earnestly.
And that made me laugh harder.
Oh, man.
Silence.
It was taken so seriously that a man sitting right next to me scolded me.
Right.
No, during the set.
So you were like, hey, why are you laughing?
I'm from stage.
As I'm like trying, I'm biting my tongue off.
I'm laughing inside so hard.
You laughing at the set up.
And Sam goes, this man is losing his mind.
He's like turning around and he's like,
shh, shut up, man.
That's his friend.
You know what I mean? Yeah, he scolded me.
He turned his head around and said,
hey, what's wrong with you? Right.
He said, what's wrong with you?
And then we couldn't, because then Sam keeps saying
ping pong Jeff. Yes.
Like a thousand more times.
And every time it's just we're dying laughing.
And then Sam closes the set and he goes, R.I.P. ping pong.
Throws up a peace sign.
Walks away.
The guy that was giving Chris shit.
Yes.
Turns around and he's got tears streaming from his eyes.
And I don't know if it's because he was
laughing like we were
laughing or if he was like
so in the moment with you he was like
that guy lost a buddy
you know what I mean and he turns and looks
at me and Chris
and just goes
who's fucking ping pong
who the fuck is ping pong
and he's crying.
And we couldn't do anything else
but laugh in his face.
Dude.
This guy's mourning a fake person.
I mean,
if I didn't know,
and I was there at that show,
and I wasn't in on that joke or whatever,
I think I would have chuckled at just the word ping the word i would have figured it might have been a joke yeah i think so
no one did no i know dude that was the only reason that sam did it it's because we laughed so hard
at just the name yeah ping pong jeff and i was like a tiktok handle and i gotta scold you guys
about laughing at ping pong je Jeff earnestly on stage.
Yeah.
No, I figured people would have laughed because it wasn't like...
I don't like set the bar for, you know, a serious tone for comedy.
It's pretty silly and irreverent.
Yeah.
So why would I take a minute to fucking pour one out for a man named Ping Pong Jeff?
And if you did, wouldn't you be like, I know he's got a funny name.
Right.
But you just kept on saying Ping Pong Jeff, Ping Pong Jeff. And if you did, wouldn't you be like, I know he's got a funny name. Right. But you just kept on saying
Ping Pong Jeff, Ping Pong Jeff.
And they didn't laugh, and I was like,
these people are either stupid, or
they're the nicest people in the world.
Right.
And people raise their glasses.
Officially, we're holding up
glasses. Yes. For a guy
that doesn't exist.
Oh, man. It would be so easy to start a cult,
wouldn't it? Oh, dude. I think about it
all the time. That's like my escape hatch.
For sure. That's my way out.
That's your retirement plan? Yeah.
Just get a bunch of like-minded fellas.
You know? And you were like digging deep.
You were like, you know,
bad for his wife. Yeah.
Badminton Barbara.
Still no laugh
I was like
every bit of merch
yeah
I'm selling merch tonight
every dollar goes
to making sure
his wife's taken care of
badminton Barbara
and people were like
looking around
like we should buy a book
it's the right thing to do
that's insane
I know dude
and I couldn't
control myself
because of you two
in the back
just fucking giggling even Dan even Dan of you two in the back. Just fucking giggling.
Even Dan Alton was in the back like, this is very nice.
I was cackling.
I know.
I had to get up from my seat and go in the hallway and laugh.
Because it was getting to the point where I was getting scolded.
Yeah.
Shut up.
Sam was continuing to say very straight faced, what's wrong with you, man? Someone died. So I had to scolded. Yeah. Sam was continuing to say very straight-faced,
What's wrong with you, man?
Someone died.
So I had to leave the room.
Right.
I had the best seat in the house
because I was seeing Sam do the silly thing,
you cackling, me cackling,
and this guy getting upset at you.
I just saw it all.
Well, you didn't tell me until after the show
about him turning around with tears and saying,
Who the fuck is Ping Pong?
He's wept over a man he doesn't know.
Yeah.
That isn't real.
I mean, isn't that nice, though?
It is very sweet.
It is nice.
I will give you that.
It's nice to know how easy people are manipulated.
Yeah.
That is a nice feeling.
How do you not hear that name?
I don't know.
I don't get it.
I really don't.
That is like a sort of a statement to how respected comedians are.
Right.
That must have been a real serious guy on the scene.
You know, Pinkpong Jeff.
Yeah.
They were ready to Google him.
I wonder how many hits Pinkpong Jeff got on Google.
Well, dude, I looked it up last night.
Oh, yeah, did you?
Yes.
And one of the top YouTube Ping Pong personalities' name is Jeff.
Get out of here.
Swear to God.
He has like 1.2 million views on his top video, and his name is like Jeff something.
But it says Ping Pong and then dash like Jeff Zamuli versus.
So if you look up Ping Pong Jeff, there's a guy named Jeff
who's very good at ping pong.
Wow. I know.
People are going to start thinking he died.
People are going to be tweeting at him.
Oh, no.
Wow.
It was an inside joke that just got done
for a group of people.
A bigger group of people
than anyone that cared.
Yeah.
And he cascaded
into kind of chaos.
That was a lot of fun.
That was a blast, man.
That's a great club.
I had a lot of fun in there.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was a great show.
Oh, man.
And then we,
you know,
we just had,
we've had a good time so far.
We were in a,
we did a bakery
in Charleston,
West Virginia.
Yep.
That was great. We're hot shit. Yeah. No one, no one had, We did a big shop in Charleston, West Virginia. That was great.
We're hot shit.
We did a cupcake shop in Charleston, West Virginia.
Oh, yeah.
Both tiers were packed.
That's right.
There was a balcony at this cupcake shop.
Yep.
Which is wild.
What is the balcony used for when they're not doing shows?
People just go up there to smell the different cupcakes.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
It's like,
I want to die,
but my nose isn't fat.
Yeah.
It's also just
an easy way
to get away
from the sound
of the exhaust fans
that are constantly
happening during the show.
The biggest fan
in the world.
I gotta take a break.
Look,
I gotta take 15,
go upstairs.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, baby.
I'm just getting
kind of worked up.
My buddy Ping Pong
passed away.
I can't enjoy this cupcake
anymore
yeah
just kidding
it was weird
in Charleston
there was a
I want to say
30% of the crowd
was
was genderless
or had
transitioned
into a different gender
which was
you know
you have your
presuppositions
about a
place you go to the capital west virginia you don't think you're going to walk into this like
hive of progress but there was a there was a female presenting person at the front table
and i was trying to do a bit about playing chicken and usually i find a small woman and i was like
you were you're a small woman and she was like well i'm non-binary. And then I said something, you know. Oh.
It was just, obviously there was rapport.
There was good faith built up.
And later on I talked about me being gross.
And I was like, look, don't look at me.
All right? You don't want to puke on your genderless tits.
So terrible.
Yeah.
How did that go?
Great.
Good.
I mean, everyone was having a good time
I wasn't like
You're gross
How dare you
I sincerely apologize
I was like
I'm really sorry
That I assumed your gender
Yeah
And you know
Just no matter
What your gender is
I was going to say
If I didn't have a wife
I would gladly buy you
A scone right now
You know
So I like
Really you know
Yeah you made a word
Oh yeah
That's the work up
To just
Slander in something
I didn't slander anyone
Like a dick nose I didn't slander anyone I didn't slander
you didn't slander
I didn't
I said genderless
tits
yeah I mean
yeah
he did make him
genderless
yeah
they did
everybody's got
tits too
and also I was
talking about how
gross I am
blah blah blah
it would have been
my choice
but it did work
it worked
yeah
you know
yeah
and then that person
came up to me
after the show and kind of, like, rocked me because
they were like, so are you famous?
I was like, no, I'm in the cupcake shop in Charleston.
What are you talking about?
Am I famous?
That's a rude question, isn't it?
And they were like, should I know who you are?
And I was like, no.
Are you going to buy a book?
And they were like, my name's like Valkyrie
or something insane,
you know?
Valkyrie.
Well,
when you don't have a,
you get to choose a cool name.
Yeah,
you start over
and you don't pick Jeff.
Yeah,
exactly.
Yeah.
You get a fresh start.
You know,
my dad was actually a comedian.
You may not have heard of him.
His name was Ping Pong Jeff.
You just lost him
he's gone
he's gone
I think their name was Key
and it was fun, I had a fun time at that show
we had a madcap travel day
my flight was delayed for an hour and a half
so I got to the airport at like 5
and the show started at like 7.30
it was three and a half hours away
I just waited at the Pittsburgh airport for two hours
in front of the 7-Eleven in the Pittsburgh airport.
You gave me the warmest iced coffee I've ever felt.
You said, I got a text from you and it was like,
hey man, it's going to be a real smash and grab.
We're going to have to get out of there quick.
You know what I mean?
Running late as it is.
And can you grab me an iced coffee? I landed from the plane thinking I was going to see to get out of there quick. You know what I mean? Running late as it is. And can you grab me a nice coffee?
I landed from the plane thinking I was going to see you in 20 minutes.
Grabbed us both a nice coffee and then just sat at the Pittsburgh airport for two hours.
And I was like, I'm not going to buy him another one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You didn't get me a water, which was cool.
That was nice.
No, I had to drive in pouring rain for two hours and 45 minutes.
Yeah, we drove
driven.
What is it?
So much rain.
We drove.
I drove.
Yeah.
You sat there
and did funny voices.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
That's how I keep people awake.
We have healthcare heroes
going off to a late shift.
We're not going to say
your name at all
Because you've got a big bold career
No reason to incriminate you
Yeah
So yeah that show was
Better than it should have been
So much better than expected
Oh yeah
You talking about last night or the cupcake test?
No no I've had nothing but high expectations for Louisville
Because I talked to Jordan Jensen recently And she was like that club rules Last night or the cupcake toast? No, no. I've had nothing but high expectations for Louisville.
Because I talked to Jordan Jensen recently, and she was like, that club rules.
Oh, I love Jordan.
Oh, I love Jordan as well.
We did Montreal together, and she was so scared.
She was so nervous.
And I just remember being at the after party after the showcase, and I was like, just stay close to me, Jordan.
And we were walking around, and I was like, Sam Talent, Jordan Jensen, who wants to give
us a million dollars?
And then, like, you know, I was like breaking the ice. The morning we're leaving, we're at the airport, and I was like, so Talent, Jordan Jensen, who wants to give us a million dollars? And then, like, you know, I was, like, breaking the ice.
The morning we're leaving, we're at the airport.
And I was like, so how'd it go for you?
And she was like, it went really good.
Thank you for your help.
And I was like, yeah, that's great.
What happened?
And she's like, WME signed me.
No one gave me a fucking business card, Jordan.
I came up here with the exact same amount of hype that I had when I left.
It's like, fuck.
Well, when you break the ice, you're the chisel.
Nobody puts the chisel over it and mixes it with some bourbon.
Yeah, exactly.
It's the ice that gets the drink.
Yeah, I know.
And Danny begs some bourbon off you right before we started.
I'm going to have a little sip of that.
Yeah, the show's in two and a half hours.
Might as well get started.
It's a long little set.
When you're going to dance to Kokomo Silver, are you out of your mind?
Yeah.
You think I'm stupid?
I mean.
Well, I'm redacted.
Redacted.
Now that I say it out loud.
And now that I hear it.
I'm glad you got Kokomo in last night.
Yeah, that was fun.
I saw him light you at 12 minutes and you weren't even in the setup for Kokomo.
And I was like, oh, good.
He's really making a meal out of this.
Well, I mean, the second show, we have to be honest.
It was cold, cold, cold, cold.
They did not care for the first two performers last night.
You were there.
Is that a fair statement?
I was outside, actually.
Okay.
So, yeah.
That's very diplomatic.
It makes sense.
But it was, you know, it was tight.
You know?
You could hear everything.
Right.
You know?
And not in the best way.
It wasn't Jake or Dan Alton's fault.
No.
It was nobody's fault.
Kind of Dan Alton's fault.
Well, he did his act, so, you know.
But right before I was about to go on, I look at you, Sam, and I go, I don't know, man.
I mean, like, what do you want me to do?
Like, I want to set you up.
I want to set the table.
You know what I mean?
And you just go, you can do whatever the fuck you want.
Yeah.
And then I was like, well, all right then.
So then, yeah, I went real long i did some
stupid stuff yeah they loved you you brought it together but they were it worked right and then
you had a long argument with a woman over uh creative property rights after the show that i
didn't start no no no at all oh boy yeah i was filmed by a person and that of course i don't
mind that at all i don't even mind if they post stuff or whatever
but the thing is if you're gonna like tag they should ask but i had nothing to do with that
and one of our friends like approached her and was like you shouldn't be filming people
at comedy shows and i was like well i mean what i get it that's a stance you know what i mean
but you can do whatever mean But you can do whatever
Thank you I'm going to try to go hang out with my friends
And now 45 minutes later
I'm like mediating an argument
What was the direct quote from your friend
When your friend
Reprimanded this woman
I mean this is direct
I don't know it.
Didn't they use the word bitch?
They did use the word bitch.
Yes.
And, like,
something along the lines of, like,
you shouldn't be filming people
during their time, you bitch.
Oh, my God.
I know.
And then a storm away.
And then, for some reason,
I had to be there to clean it all up.
Yeah, the real thing.
And I was like, no, I want to have a beer with my friends.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Uh-huh.
And I had to patch everything up, and still nobody ended up happy.
Yeah.
And I still got tagged in a video I didn't get permission for.
Uh-huh.
So, what are you going to do?
Was it the Kokomo bit?
Yeah, it was the Kokomo bit.
I mean, that happens all the time.
That was the thing I was trying to say to mediate.
I was like, this person is talking about the creative process, and maybe you don't want to...
Like, don't try to show people half the painting and, you know, this is the whole painting.
Let them put it out there, right?
Yeah.
That painting, for me, is done, so I'm cool with it.
Tag me, do whatever you want.
Yeah, he gets all fucking high-minded and pretentious about the Kokomo bit.
I know.
He called this a painting?
Yeah, he did.
I was trying to relate to a person that's not a comedian.
This woman just got called a bitch by a person who's 5'2".
And then Danny's like, imagine you're a painter.
Let me take, let me, follow me, if you will, to the Louvre.
I was doing everything I could.
Palm everything down.
And also, this woman's wearing mesh pants.
So I thought Danny was just saying hi to a pretty lady.
No, I was approached by this person to be the person to,
why is it not cool to video somebody?
Why aren't you making a stance on this?
I was like, I don't have a stance on it.
But I'm trying to relay the message.
Because they have a stance.
I'm trying to meet you guys in the middle.
Here comes a painting metaphor.
You know, like, I don't know.
You spazzed.
I spazzed.
Yeah, that's all.
I spazzed and everybody left upset.
Well, I was watching it.
I was outside and I saw this conversation go on for like 40 minutes.
And I was like, this can't be a good situation.
Because I know Danny.
I hate it every second.
He's an upright guy.
He's not going to make any fucking stinky moves on his girlfriend who he loves.
No.
So like this can't be something he wants to be a part of.
No, I hate it.
And of course I didn't intervene because it gave me more joy to know that you were trapped in something unpleasant.
That's great.
It's like when I see you on a long flume ride.
Exactly.
Just let it happen.
Somebody's tipping over the edge.
Right.
Yeah.
It's like when you see a bunch of pigeons flock my ice cream cone.
You're like, I could sound the air horn or I could watch them fight off birds.
Because I do carry an air horn.
I get mixed up with pigeons.
Are you lying to me?
I had a big pigeon mix-up once in San Francisco.
Ha ha ha!
What?
I did!
Is this the first time
you do a book?
That's my favorite Bad Brains album.
It's the big pigeon mix-up.
I did.
I was there
on the road
with Max Sabbath
and I decided
to take a little
afternoon jaunt around
and I was going to go down
to the pier
and see the seals.
Yeah.
You know,
and just have a little
touristy time.
You know?
That's the San Francisco
equivalent of
going to the graveyard in louisville and having some giggles it's just touristy stuff yeah it's
in the pamphlet and i was alone and i was like i'll just do this so you know knock it out and
then because i wake up earlier than everybody always and i was like this will be my my time
you know and then i'll figure out what they want to do anyway we're out there
and i'm on my way back it starts raining and i was like fuck you know i put my uh i had a hooded
jacket put it on i stop at a crosswalk of waiting for traffic and then as soon as it turns green
get closer to the mic this guy just up, stops right in front of me,
throws an entire loaf of bread
out of his window
at my feet.
And then I look up
to my left and it is just a sea
of pigeons.
Just
coming at me.
And I had no way to avoid it.
And I was just, what?
And they're like chomping at the bread on my feet, flying all around me. And I had no way to avoid it. And I was just boy, and they're like
chomping at the bread on my feet,
flying all around me, more coming from
all directions. And you can't
run away. Why?
Because that's when you get attacked or whatever.
No, you don't. You just gotta be a statue.
They want the bread. Yeah, you gotta
attack your head. I'm kicking the bread?
Come on. No, you flee.
Wait, what, does he stand in my ground? I didn't flee. No, you flee. Wait, what?
Does he stand my ground?
I didn't flee.
You have a pistol?
What happens if I did not flee? These colors don't run.
I'm from the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
I waited until enough pigeons had realized most of the pigeons had already gotten the rest of the bread.
And scurried, and then I walked away.
Brother.
But I got no shit on me.
You're the dumb one in that situation.
If you're so stupid. I'm not I got no shit on me. You're the dumb one in that situation. I got anchored.
If you're so stupid.
I'm not the one that threw the bread.
You see a man whip a loaf at your feet, and then you see the birds, and you're like, oh,
I'll just see how this plays out.
I did have a few seconds to react.
Yeah.
I was stunned.
I get it.
In that situation, the bread is the grenade.
Yeah.
You've got to throw your body on it.
You've got to drop.
Save the platoon.
Yeah, it happened.
That's a great prank.
That's my pigeon mix-up.
Do you think it was a prank,
or do you think he just kind of mildly threw it and you were there?
He threw it right at me.
Was there eye contact?
Here's the thing.
I don't remember eye contact.
Did he say fire in the wall?
He made sure he stopped in front of me and threw it.
Did he say something like, look at this room?
There were no words.
Did he say locals only?
Surf's up, Mahalo.
There were no words.
Get it.
In my memory, there were no words.
Birds now.
Birds.
They just fucking attacked.
That just went at me.
I mean, that's going in the old CMT repertoire now.
Next time I'm in San Francisco,
I'm at Cheaper Than Therapy, November
16th, 17th, 18th. If you come to those
shows, head on a swivel
for loaves of bread.
Because the birds are coming with me.
God damn, dude.
That's a real cartoon character
situation you found yourself in. That's Danny Moffat.
Well, that's me.
Yeah.
I don't... For some reason I exist in this world But it should be anime
You should be two dimensional
Yeah you're the rascal king dude
God damn it
That's great
Where's that story been
In my back pocket
I got a bunch of them
Golly Are you having a good time back in your
hometown yes i love it here yeah hot muggy real mug rainy sultry but great you guys had breakfast
without me that's cool i'm not upset yeah what was breakfast i think we did it pretty diplomatically
you did you texted me at 11 i woke up at 1230 and said, yeah, sounds good. I just woke up.
Because we woke up.
We were already tired.
We were hungry.
And I was like, we don't want to wake him up.
That's where he wants to sleep in.
Also, I would have clocked you.
I don't want to be clocked.
I don't want to be ever violent, but Danny knows.
First 30 seconds I wake up, it's like I'm coming out of a flashback from Da Nang.
No, yeah, he seemed genuinely afraid of waking you up.
Yeah, yeah.
I wasn't afraid because I didn't know. afraid you do it with the broom handle yeah he just throws a loaf of bread there and opens a window yeah let the birds do it
thanks for the work boys i wonder why he's grumpy in the morning that's how he gets woke up yeah
yeah i've said some wild shit to my wife upon waking up and she knows she's like my
brain's like recalibrating i told the sweet sweet man that let us stay at his place in uh in uh
hunting oh yeah that stranger's house we showed up to at 1 a.m and i was in an effort to buy a
little bit more time because i knew you needed some more sleep he said hey you gotta get out
of here at 9 30 and i was like i'll find a way to buy some more time.
And this is how I bought it.
I was like, you're not going to be the one that wants to wake up Sam.
Let me do that.
Yeah.
He knows me.
He doesn't know you, and I can handle it.
Okay?
I'm telling you right now.
This is how epidemic this problem is.
He's warning a 23-year- old who let us crash without knowing who we
were he really set you up like a wild animal oh yeah no that's true that's apt yeah it's like i
can handle it you're a stranger god knows what he's gonna do to you just let me just let me do
this you'll see my face something will click you know what I mean it'll be a pheromone thing his fist will stop
right before my face
but
I can handle it
I know this is your home
but you're a stranger
you understand
you're a boy
this is a man's job
you hold this
you hold this fire extinguisher
in case things go wild
it totally worked.
He was like, yeah, there's going to be a key under the mat.
Just put the key under the mat.
No big deal.
Before, it was like, we're going to have to leave when he leaves for work.
And it turned into, yep, yep, yep.
No, just bottom lock is good.
You could just stretch that out forever.
It's like, he's been in there for about a week.
Best to let him hole up.
A lot of people think he's hibernating.
He actually lays dormant.
All right?
If you hibernate, you get up and you expel your bowels.
But no, he's done for three months.
It didn't hurt that you were asleep fully on your back with a whole couch cushion over your face.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was also faking being asleep at that point.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You overheard me saying that?
He was being passive aggressive and he kept walking through the room to like clatter pans, you know.
Oh.
Yeah.
And I was like, well, look, I'm riding this out.
Danny will deal with it or he'll kick my mattress and I'll have to wake up.
Well, because there was a point in my head where I was like, let's just see if he does it.
You know what I mean?
I kind of wanted to see. You see if he does it. You know what I mean? I kind of wanted to see.
You see if he did it to me?
Yeah, if he would wake you up.
Yeah, and I was like, just let him do it.
You know what I mean?
That's fine.
I'll get some content for Faces of Death 12.
After all the pacing and everything, I was like,
all right, hey, I've got to say something.
And then so I just totally turned you into a monster.
Yeah, and that's good.
We've got two more hours of sleep.
I need to text that young man and say thank you.
We should probably text him and let him know the door was locked two days ago and that we left.
Yeah.
He was also like,
I think we're in the cupboard.
He was like, yeah, man, it's my girlfriend's apartment.
That was what it broke down to.
That's what he said.
I was like, oh, well, this makes sense.
I get why he was trying to tell.
But before, he was just like, yeah, you guys have got to be out when I am.
I was like, no explanation.
You don't want to be this guy and have to be like, hey, baby, he won't leave.
Yeah.
You know, he just won't.
I didn't try very hard, but he won't leave.
Yeah.
I mean, I knew Danny knew how to deal with it.
I might be the asshole in this situation, but I was either like, he's going to wake me up,
or Danny's going to get him to leave the key.
I got an extra hour of sleep.
Worked out pretty good, I say.
It worked out great for me.
As I'm faking pretending to be asleep,
I think I was sleeping like this.
I had my hands up, don't shoot posture,
just on my back.
Which is not how human beings rest.
No, that's how Dracula's rest.
Exactly, yeah.
That's how I'm on solos in tune.
Turning like this. Dracula's rest. Exactly, yeah. He's got a lot of solos in tune.
It's ridiculous.
He's like, not good.
What did you say your last words were going to be when we were standing underneath that awning from the rain?
Oh, jeez.
What was it going to be?
Oh, fuck.
Oh, no.
I have no clue.
That was good.
A lot of our day
was spent hiding from the rain.
Was it?
Yeah.
Do you remember
the Smothers Brothers?
That was another good one.
Yeah.
That was so fun.
Yeah, you had a lot
of fucking slam dunks yesterday.
Yeah.
The man known as Chris.
It was a great day for me.
Just Chris.
Yeah, just Chris.
Not as great as today
because we ate scuttle and chili for me. Just Chris. Yeah, just Chris. Not as great as today because we ate scone
and chili for breakfast. Some of us did.
Well, you swept in.
I was happy as a clam and shit.
Yeah, that's fine. The rascal and the possum
had a good time.
We'll have to redact that.
Oh, it's alright.
Oh no, don't say the possum.
I'm both of them. That's what I'm saying.
Possum's not good. No, they're just both of my ass cheeks. Rascal say the possum. I'm both of them. That's what I'm saying. Possum's not good.
They're just both of my ass cheeks.
Rascal and the possum.
Yeah, the possum doesn't have a job and a family to worry about.
Oh, that's true.
Famously has neither of those.
Neither does the rascal.
No.
Oh man, I shamelessly ordered two things, ate them, and then said, I'll have a Chilito after that.
You went back?
You got like a burrito dessert.
Yeah.
And it wasn't like, you know, sweet.
No wonder you went back to bed for four hours.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
I did it.
I thought you had like a secret pill problem.
I didn't know there was a secret third burrito.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
That's my pill.
Yeah.
Because, yeah, we started out with the same order.
It was a five-way chili. Yep. And, you know, a cheese cone my pill. Yeah. Because, yeah, we started out with the same order. It was a five-way chili.
Yep.
And, you know, a cheese cone.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Perfect.
I mean, that Skyline is not overrated.
No.
That cinnamon they put in that chili, it's a delight.
It really is.
It's so good.
And I had to do it.
If it was vegan, I'd be all over it right now.
Were the noodles, I haven't had the noodles in a minute.
The noodles were thin
Are they always like that?
They're like a bourbon jelly
Oh my god
So good
I'm going to think about that breakfast
Those were the last words I said
Before I jumped in
You want to be a deathbed?
I'm just going to think about it
It won't be my wife's face
It won't be my favorite song.
It'll be that Skyline Chili Noodle.
Dined in Skyline Chili.
Think about it.
So you got a fucking Coney, right?
Yeah.
And a five-way chili.
Yeah.
And then you went back for a little extra treat, huh?
I got a chili cheese burrito or a chilito.
And you ate it there?
Oh, I will. Yeah.
One of the wildest things I've heard all day today, though,
was also from Chris, because as we were
walking into the Skyline, he goes,
you think they have dessert?
I was curious.
And they did! They ate cheesecake.
We didn't get any. What, is it smothered?
Did I get a
cheesecake five-way? Yeah.
Put it right on top.
Go ahead and just shove it
right up my ass. Yeah.
It's coming out that way
soon. Dude, I love that
kind of eating. I'm happy for y'all.
It's a real dream, you know, because
a lot of times, you know, you
want to do that, but you're like, I don't want to
look fat. Today, I was like, I don't care.
Yeah, you're with Moppen.
You can't look any worse than Danny.
Come on.
What?
Come on.
You were giving yourself an air bath eating chili.
A 26-year-old in Charleston two days ago said, I told him I was 40, and he goes, good God.
Because he looked 50, and he was 26.
Oh, you're talking about Skeeter?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. He was bad with the van. Oh, you're talking about Skeeter? Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
He was bad with the van.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, there was a very sincere young man.
Very nice.
Yeah.
We looked like an Allman Brothers roadie.
Oh, yeah.
We got a mystery bag.
Oh.
More peaches?
Oh, sweet.
These are Georgia peaches.
They are delicious.
We have Georgia peaches fresh out the bag. I thought you went to work and all of a sudden you bring up a bag of peaches.
And a livered weed.
Whoa.
Last time my wife offered me a mystery bag, there was a dead bird inside of it.
I was half expecting to look in there and be like, yeah, I bet it was peaches.
It's a turd.
It's a light.
It's like, ah, gotcha.
Off to work.
It turns a difference.
Is it a turd with a candle in it?
Yeah.
You guys want peach?
Yeah, I think so.
It would be kind of gross to eat on the podcast.
There's a lot of mouth sounds.
I love eating on the pod.
Okay, let me get some plates.
People hate it.
I'm not as bad as you.
Yeah.
I'll eat the peach after the pod.
Thank you for the peaches.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, they're from a friend of mine.
She got them, but she had to go out of town.
She's actually a zipper.
And she messaged me.
She was like, they're right on my counter.
If you want to come get them, there's the code in my house.
Oh, wow.
The rules.
Thank you.
Is that code supposed to be common knowledge?
No.
Okay.
All right.
Becker, edit.
All right.
Becker, edit from like 43 to now.
So we're back.
We had a bit of a peach respite chris's uh
beautiful betrothed showed up with a bag full of georgia peaches
and now uh if you hear some slurping and glurping you're welcome okay we uh danny and i
well skeeter of course we don't have to that. We don't have to go after that.
That furry man.
But we drove from Huntington after the Cupcake Shop show.
We went to the Blue Parrot.
Shout out to the Blue Parrot.
That guy Andy.
Do you know his last name?
Andy Frampton.
Andy Frampton.
Nope.
Andy Frampton.
Second Frampton I know.
Yeah, and you didn't have to Kick his ass
Yeah I didn't
I couldn't have either
No
He's way bigger than Peter
Andy was a hoss
Yeah
Andy was a big boy
And he took us to
The Blue Parrot
In Charleston
There was like a
Fucking metal detector
Wand out front
I guess things get
Hairy in there
But he was a good hang
The bartender was a fan
And he was like
Man I wish I knew
That y'all were having a show tonight,
but they don't fucking promote shit.
And I was like, you're like two doors down from where the show was.
And he's like, yeah, they didn't really tell anyone about it,
but hey, how about a fucking Horchamo shot on us?
No, it was a Burt Reynolds shot.
A Burt Reynolds shot, yeah.
Which was, what we ended up finding out was half Captain Morgan,
half cinnamon or something like that.
It was something creamy.
Something creamy.
I want to say it was like rum chata or something.
I wonder what that is that Burt Reynolds drank.
I guess he used to drink it.
On the day he died, the bartender looked it up.
Like, what did Burt Drennels drink?
Oh.
Yeah, so he whipped those up, and they became the novelty shot of the bar.
It's all good.
Yeah, and it was good.
But also, I kept telling people, I was like, I have to drive to Huntington.
And they were like...
They did not care that they were fleeting me shots and giving me yinglings.
They were like, oh, it's just about an hour down the road.
Man, shit.
Who cares?
Well, yeah, that's the thing about...
Be the party goat.
Yeah.
The mountains.
Yeah, it's the party goat.
When you get in the Appalachian Mountains, they're like,
hell, you ain't gonna see him by for an hour.
You know what I mean? Ain't no big deal.
Come on, plug a few. You know?
Drive with one eye open.
Who cares, man?
Okay, alright.
The sheriff is a Henderson. They're good folk.
This is also a rental car with New Jersey plates.
You think I'm not a target?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I've seen my cousin Vinny.
Yeah.
And also, it's a fucking, what is that thing?
It's a Chevy Bolt?
Chevy Spark.
Spark?
Yeah.
So it's just me taking up two-thirds of the front seat.
It is insane.
And then you over there looking like my keeper, you know?
I'm in the back seat, but everything's, we're just side by side.
I'm driving from the back.
That sounds like a Mario Kart.
Oh, dude, it's ridiculous.
You're sticking out the top of it.
Woo-hoo!
Danny and I don't look like we should be allowed out, wherever we are.
It is a silly little combo.
You did stay out of the cemetery.
Oh, for sure, yeah.
Enough.
Enough of that.
Yeah.
That the cops got caught.
Uh-huh. Well, you know, just ghost cops. Yeah. Send Lindy down. Yeah. Enough. Enough. Yeah. That the cops got caught.
Well, you know, just ghost cops.
Yeah.
Send Lindy down.
Have them spook him.
Tell him, sunglasses off, Lindy.
Let him see all your irises.
We went to, was that still West Virginia or was that Ohio somehow where we had breakfast?
Oh, Waffle House?
Java Joe's. Oh, no, Java Joe's. That was definitely still in West Virginia or was that Ohio somehow where we had breakfast? Oh, Waffle House? Java Joe's.
Oh no, Java Joe's. Remember fucking Java Joe's? That was definitely still in West Virginia. That was in Huntington.
That was the saddest place I've ever been.
It was bleak.
It sucked. It was like a fucking Flannery O'Connor
short story, dude. It moved me in a way.
We were looking for
coffee in Huntington,
you know, after we just like
squatters rights this poor kid's girlfriend's
apartment.
Yeah.
You don't want to, you don't want to do it.
I don't want you to do it.
You don't want to wake him up.
You wake him up.
It's on you, brother.
You have to sign this release if you go in that room.
And so I was like, let's get some coffee.
So we went like two.
My feet just do slippery.
Everybody.
So we went two exits down the highway.
Somewhere in very far western West Virginia.
We get off the highway.
Go to Java Joe's.
We're looking for it.
We pull into a gas station to get gas.
Two rival gangs show up in different drywall trucks.
Yeah.
It is a weird place.
Like four people in the bed. Yeah. And just all just like... Cover trucks. Yeah. But it is a weird place. Like four people in the bed.
Yeah.
And just all just like...
Covered in dust.
Toothless, wife-beater-wearing white guys.
Yeah, yeah.
The best way I can describe it.
That'll get your heart pumping.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
We were like, let's get out of here.
Yeah, we're in the Chevy Volt.
Yeah, yeah.
We're in New Jersey, play.
It's like, we're going to get...
Danny's wearing a shirt that says like you're queef or mine.
You know,
we don't look like tough gentlemen.
We look like we're there to like buy up the downtown to turn it into a water park.
You know,
we look like carpetbaggers.
So we're going to Jabba Joe's.
We passed by a guy.
They're just the guy in like a dilapidated
red brick home
built in like
you know the 1930s
when coal was still coal
and men were still men
and he's just standing
in his doorway
like
kind of
patting himself down
he's literally just
brushing himself off
with his own hand
yeah
kind of thing
fully clothed
Sam just goes
well that guy's dirty.
Yeah. I look to the left. I see this
guy just brushing himself
off. Uh-huh. Yeah.
He's taking his air bath.
Yeah. It's like, oh, well, hey, it's Friday.
Gonna be a good weekend. Yeah. Time for the air bath.
Fully clothed. Better clean
up, Clem.
And we were like, okay, cool.
Well, Java Joe's is just around the corner.
So we go to Jabba Joe's.
And this,
this will wind up
in some bit of fiction
that I write for sure.
We go in.
It's a,
it's a small,
I don't know,
what do you want to say?
Tough shed size building?
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Yeah, probably as big as,
it's not as big
as your downstairs.
Small room.
It would be a place where you would rent the U-Haul, but they would drive you half a mile to go pick it up.
It's like a pod situation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
And unbeknownst to us, it is a coffee shop, if you Google it.
But really what it is is a casino where every beer is $2.
And there's five slot machines in the back.
And the clientele.
In the darkest room you've ever been in your life.
Correct, yes.
The clientele is like they were extras in Gummo because they were too ugly to be main characters.
Yes, and the lady behind the counter, 4'6", 460 pounds.
All right.
And we walk in and we're like, hey, can we get some coffee?
And she says, how much do you want?
I was like, I'll have a large.
And Danny was like, I'll have a medium because I'm the rascal.
Some, you know, fun bit of folksiness.
I only wanted a medium.
Yeah.
She was like, I'll have to make it.
We're like, okay, that's good.
So then she tries to stand up, but she really can't.
So she just kind of hunches forward on her cane.
And she's, you know, in her latter years a little bit too,
but also just like some sort of injury may have happened or something.
Of course.
Yeah, I think gravity crushed her joints.
No matter what.
I think she ground her tendons down to pulp and sold them to air bath.
It's not like express service no this is all i'm
saying well no because she tried to get up that woman came out and she's like this tan ain't
working and she was like i'm gonna have to give you two fives and her getting two fives out of
the drawer took 35 seconds she gave them to the lady and she's like leave these she's gonna be
two fives and she's like who cares there's going in the machine so which is just the lotto machine
in the back room of this coffee shop.
Right.
So then we're standing there for a bit as she is not capable of making coffee.
We went and walked in the casino after we ordered, looked around.
We come back out.
She has not made it to the coffee pot yet.
And she has decided she's not going to walk.
She's in like a weird office chair.
So she's just rolling around.
She's just mojo world.
Remember when the X-Men were turned into children, X-Babies? No. a weird like office chair so she's just rolling around she's just mojo world remember when like
the x-men were turned into children x babies no well there was mojo who like ran the television
network and he couldn't walk so his legs were just like electronic spider legs okay so she's
mojoing around all right so i see how long it's gonna take her to make this fucking coffee and i
just walk by danny and i say bail bail and we
did and we bailed we ran out of there yeah and knowing that she couldn't like come out and shake
her cane at us because that was four feet away and also i did feel terrible because i was like man
he did a lot and we did not deliver it i couldn't wait it was gonna take an hour i couldn't wait around. It was going to take an hour. I couldn't be part of that anymore. But why call yourself Java Joe's?
There was another Java Joe's two blocks away, too.
Yeah, there was a chain of Java Joe's.
Huh.
And that one was packed.
That must have been a good one.
Yeah.
Where they actually have coffee.
Also, Java Joe's, it wasn't like you can come in and get a macchiato.
You couldn't get a mocha or an espresso.
There was one gas station coffee pot yes there was
no coffee in it wow yeah there was uh multiple stacks of unused towels yes there were so many
towels towels to the roof and it's like no coffee what services are you offering in here ma'am i'm
so puzzled i'm just like, how did this place get this?
That's how we thought.
How did it get that way?
How did she get this way?
What's with the towels?
I think it's just this place that's, you know, by the exit on the freeway.
She's the personification of late-stage capitalism.
You know what I mean?
She's in a place that's been...
Yeah, exactly.
Yes.
She's a slug woman.
Yeah. She's a slug woman
yeah
she's a chodelet
and she's
you know
I mean Charleston
is very pretty
Huntington's where
Marshall was
Huntington
yeah
very gorgeous
pretty place
yeah it was very pretty
but
it seems like
it is one of those
just like
midwestern places
like
alright this used to be something and now it's a waiting room.
Well, it is.
I mean, it's not just Midwestern.
It's most of America outside the cities.
That's true.
I mean, this is like very much Appalachia.
Yeah.
We were in the latch.
You know?
That's what I call it.
That's true.
Mm-hmm.
But.
It's just like there's no industry in this town.
All it is is antique malls and two Jabba Joes
and the mayor's
giving himself
an air bath
in the doorway
you know
the mayor's just
brushing off
yeah
these ham bonings
are bad
these ham bonings
yeah
he's juggling
whatever you call it
yeah
he couldn't afford
the jug anymore
so he's doing it
with his mouth
yeah
and me and Danny
are just driving around
kind of stoned
like you know
1230 in the afternoon
after squatting
in a boys house
we need coffee
let's go to the place
called Jabba Joe's
sounds like they've got it
yeah
can we get some coffee
how much y'all want
I'll drink whatever
you don't
that's exactly
what you said
give whatever you want I'll drink whatever you don't. That's exactly what you said. Give whatever you want.
I'll drink whatever you guys don't.
Oh, that's so sad.
I know.
Dude, it was really sad.
It was incredibly sad.
But while it was so sad, I was watching how sad Sam was taking it in.
And I could see that burden on your soul.
Yeah, put it on you.
That was just me holding back laughter the entire time.
It was like you talking to that pink hair last night.
This is fucking hilarious.
I can't help but watch how my friend is so sad in this situation.
It was you talking to that woman after the late show last night.
It was the exact same phenomenon.
And I've always read the literature of this area and the deeper south.
In particular, Bryce DJ Pancake from...
That's a real guy's name.
Okay.
I know.
Did you pick on Jeff Meade?
No, I didn't.
Oh, no, dude.
I brought him up.
That is the crazy thing.
Yeah, I think it's Brees D.
It's D apostrophe J and his last name is Pancake.
He was published by the West Virginia University.
He's amazing.
Just like Southern Gothic shit.
Faulknerian.
And then also there's this guy, Donald Rick Pollock, who wrote about Southern Ohio.
And I didn't know Southern Ohio until I read more.
It was like pretty much Appalachia.
You know what I mean?
Like it's the South effectively.
Yeah.
So I read all these books and I've been like, oh, this is fucking crazy.
No one actually lives this way.
You know, this must be a past time.
And then you're in Jabba Joe's and Mojo Mama's skittering around the ground begrudgingly making you a pot of coffee.
Because the casino's, you know, there's two people in there.
Remember that guy with the fucking black wife beater and all the tattoos?
Yes.
He's just sitting there.
What's his deal?
What's his deal?
Well, and like the one conversation that was had Outside of us
Was between the lady
Making the coffee
And what seemed to be a regular
Of the casino
And he comes out and now and now they're talking about
A watermelon
That a friend had given them
He got done dirty by a watermelon
And he was complaining Complaining about the watermelon had given them. He got done dirty by a watermelon.
And he was complaining about the watermelon. A gifted watermelon.
It didn't taste like anything.
He said it doesn't, it didn't
taste like anything.
Verbatim quote. It was a trick melon.
Verbatim. That watermelon didn't
taste like anything.
And then the lady
just threw up a little. I'm sorry. And then the lady... She's through. I'm sorry.
And then the lady is still trying to make the coffee.
And she goes, well, that's the reason he gave it to you.
That's why it cost a dollar.
And I was like, I thought it was a gift.
How do you know?
He had to sell it for tax purposes.
Right.
I was just so confused.
And he was sitting right by the huge stack of towels
Yes
He's got these melons and his wife's like
I didn't eat that, it doesn't taste like nothing
He's like, I'll just give it to Ricky for a dollar
He won't know
And then Ricky's complaining to Merbil
You know
Those boys in the two trucks
Are going to come take it out of his ass
I'm going to get take it out of his ass. Yeah.
I'm liking the flavor in that melon.
That's what I was like.
We have to get out of here.
I can't listen to Melon Gate over here.
I love the idea of their Spencer's Gifts.
Their gag.
Gifts dropped is just like melons that don't taste like anything.
You know. Oh, wait till he sees this. Wait till you look on his face. Check it out. Get strapped is just like melons that don't taste like anything.
Oh, wait till you see this.
Wait till you look on his face.
Check it out. Melons don't taste like nothing.
Spencer's Gift is a farm of tasteless fruits.
That's their punked.
Yeah, put them in here.
Everything's a dollar.
The fake vomit is not really fake.
It's just not yours.
The stuff you want to be real isn't.
The stuff you want to be fake is definitely real.
I mean, how much for that puke?
How much for that puke?
No, don't worry.
We're almost out, but we're making more.
We got Marble in there.
She's got a seven-way chili.
She'll have some fresh in a minute.
If you don't want that pu pig, I'll eat it.
I told him that melon ain't good for nothing, but fucking.
That melon been on down by the
chowder converter booth? Oh, hell yeah.
He's this guy, alright. He's
local to here. He likes to go up
and he likes to eat the
Manhattan Red and
then travel down and convert it through his butt too
now that is a bit the new age right in your ass
for a while and you're running it on the pod with our buddy chris
i know how bad it is and i've never used it since the time I tried it. You used it at every fucking house party last summer.
I love you.
Well,
it's,
again,
I love doing,
it's because it sucks
and my girlfriend hates it too.
Yeah,
everyone hates it, Danny.
It's so funny.
I love it.
I love it the first time
and then every party
I saw you at last summer
you'd be like,
hey,
I've been working
on this new business
venture here.
You got my ass.
Yeah.
Oh.
What is that?
It's like,
it's like, you eat the Manhattan Red and you shit out the new England White.
I thought it was the other way around.
You can reverse convert.
What's a Manhattan Red?
Manhattan Red is chowder.
There's a new England clam chowder that's white,
and Manhattan clam chowder has tomatoes in it.
Okay.
It's red.
I didn't know that.
So you eat the red, you shit out the white.
I thought you ate the white and you shit out the red.
That makes so much more sense.
I can do either one.
The other way around is asinine.
All I know is just passive income.
Yeah.
So that's the button.
Yeah, that's the button.
Ah, I see.
So if you were at Greg Baumhauer's...
All right, back to our edit point.
No.
Oh, guys. Well... All right, back to our edit point. No.
Oh, guys.
Well.
I'm just picturing that sluggish old spider in an actual spider web.
And a fly lands and it can't get out.
She's like.
It's a living.
Drag into it, you know.
Yeah.
I don't feel it.
Would you like the main product of this establishment?
Yeah. That'll be about an hour and a half.
I'll get to it.
As soon as we get to the bottom of this melon.
The spider gets caught in the web because it just tries to roll itself over.
It becomes a big snowball.
It just bed sores.
Yeah.
Yeah, Merble.
God bless her.
I feel bad but
she does
she's not long
for this fucking world
yeah
yeah
she was very nice
no she wasn't
I was
I was trying to help
she was fucking pissed
we ordered coffee
at Jabba Joe's
she made us feel stupider
yeah
yeah
I was like
hey lady
but you know
you're the dumb one for sure.
I was the best.
Yeah.
You tried to find something redeemable about her and you couldn't do it.
Uh-uh.
I'm trying to see the best.
Yeah.
No.
Guarbo was not going to deliver any coffee.
Guarbo tired.
Yeah, for sure.
We did find out that here in Louisville, Kentucky, a certain person named Bako does have a residence.
Yeah, check out the Shubby Behemoth Instagram to see.
Bako is real, everyone.
And apparently they own a hair salon.
Yeah, Chris, you don't listen to the pod, but there's a whole mythology behind the fifth Ninja Turtle.
His name is Bako.
Okay, I love it.
Yeah.
He doesn't carry, like, a samurai weapon.
He just carries an AR-15, and he's violent.
He's pretty much just a taxi driver, but he's a Ninja Turtle.
Okay.
And, you know, there's going to be a plague and that kind of stuff.
Is he a teenager, too?
That's never been discussed.
No.
I don't think he ages.
He's very anxious.
Yeah, he's like the Alpha and the Omega.
Yeah.
Baco has always been, and he reigns in hell.
Yeah.
Heaven's afraid of him, that kind of thing.
Anyway, Chris, anything you want to plug?
Not really.
Okay, good call.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Danny?
I mean, when is this airing?
It'll come out before Sunday.

That rules.
Yeah, that was really sick.
That made me feel good.
