Slop Quest

Another week, and we're baaaaaack! First off, apologies for the audio quality this week. Due to these crazy times, we recorded the episode remotely, and the site we used had a bit of a lag. We'll be back to our usual high quality next week! On this episode, we talk about the strange state of the world, and what we're seeing and experiencing around town. Danish has a strange encounter at the pharmacy, and O'Neill has a stranger one on the streets late at night. We talk a little bit more about Joe Exotic (how can you not???) and discuss Big Earl's casting ideas for a Joe Exotic movie. And, we discuss an idiot's attempt at "comedy" during the pandemic. There's a little of this. A little of that. And a lot of what have you. Enjoy!

We're back with another episode! That's something to celebrate these days. On this episode, we start off by talking about how the Coronavirus is affecting LA and our lives. We also go over some new guidelines NY announced regarding the virus and lovemaking. Follow the rules! It's not all Debbie Downer-ville because we discuss a documentary that's set the world aflame: The Tiger King. It's got everything you could dream of in a documentary: insane characters, tigers, polygamy, crime, he-said/she-said drama, drugs, more tigers, crazy gunplay, horrible music videos, and even a scene with a guy inexplicably riding a jet ski! Give 'er a listen. And, stay safe and healthy out there.

In these crazy times, we figured who better to come on than John Little. And he did not disappoint! First of all, the new intro song Hot Hot Peppers sent in will get you in the mood for a hard hitting show. It set the pace for us. We talked about the Coronavirus and how it's affected us and Los Angeles. We discover that John is becoming a producer, and things get a little weird when he tells us we're too "unpredictable" to book at his new stand up show. We ask John why he fears Beach Cops, and why he's been ducking coming on the show. John takes some questions from Twitter. We pitch John on some jobs/life paths he should be pursuing (yes, the Wienermobile is one of them!). All in, it was a good time and fun conversation. Hope it puts a smile on your face during a tough/strange time. F' yeah.

Hello, hello, hello, hello! On this episode, we tackle all sorts of interesting topics. We start off by discussing a team manager for the men's basketball team at illustrious Jackson State. He goes by the nickname "Snacks" and became a real viral sensation recently. We take a REAL DEEP DIVE into the Netflix reality show, Love Is Blind. We also briefly touch on the election (mainly how old all the candidates are...not any real deep political talk here, as usual). There are some fun Comedy Store memories recalled, too. A little of this, a little of that, a whole LOT of fun with some hot sauce thrown in for good measure.

The Daddy Man is BACK! And he's got minimal Predator lines (thank the Lord!). We unpeel yet another layer of the onion that is Big Earl. We find out new info and hear new stories, that as usual, amazes us and blows our minds. On this episode, he workshops some premises with us and delivers some real gems that must be heard to be believed. He talks about his beef with Jeremy Piven. He tells some stories that take place back in the day (but that's not his life anymore). It's the usual good time with Earl. Tune in. Everyone's doing it.

We start this week's episode on a sad note with the loss of two great men. On flew homemade rockets, and the other helped bald men feel sexy again. They will both be sorely missed. We get into a lot of other shenanigans, too. There's a you-gotta-hear-it-to-believe-it question posed to an advice column that will shock you to your core. We also discuss a school in England offering teens ludicrous advice. We get after a woman for bringing a mini-pony on a flight in a Mexican wrestling outfit (sadly, this is true). Danish talks about a movie he recently saw and ironically enjoyed. Oh, and we even talk about Steven Spielberg's daughter. All-in-all, a real festive time to be had by all.

To start the show, O'Neill plays a voicemail he received after our last show from a very somber and apologetic Brian Holtzman. He then shares some stories from a recent ski trip he took. Danish plays a juicy morsel of a soundbite...it's baby Barb's FIRST contribution to the show!!!! O'Neill talks about a woman who lured deer into her home and fed them. The audio is played and respectfully (as always) dissected. Danish poses an important question: would you rather buy Erykah Badu or Gwyneth Paltrow's idiotic product? The episode is closed with an UNREAL listener submitted song about the Dassman. Oh, and Danish gives a few quick book picks as well. Yes indeedy.

You read it correctly. We have Brian Holtzman on this week, and we take a wild ride into his innermost thoughts. He looks into his phone and tells us of his travels and the year the trip took place. We ask him questions about past events at the Comedy Store (that our "sources" told us about). He's very honest and forthcoming and isn't afraid to take the high road! We also asked about his career: going on the road, shows he's appeared on, and what he sees for his future. Oh, and he briefly roasts O'Neill's apartment. All in all, it's a wild ride but a very good one. Listen and find out why this fella is one of a kind.

And, we're back. Danish starts off by detailing his trip to gorgeous Hollywood, Florida. O'Neill talks about a disturbing trend that he discovered out on the slopes at Big Bear. The GREAT Tom Morris is discussed as are some old stand up favorites from back in the day. There are man vs. animal articles, and a guy who wants to settle a court dispute via samurai sword duel. It's all here. And it's all for you.

Rick Ingraham joins on this episode! We started with Rick at the Store back in the day and take a trip down memory lane. Rick and O'Neill both discuss their experiences performing in Alaska. We discuss some of the characters we've encountered over the years at the Comedy Store and have a darn good time reminiscing about walking to school in the snow uphill both ways (HIYO!). Give this one a listen. You'll thank us and Rick when you're done.
