Speaker 1: You know, I hate to just HIJACKI, but we were
Speaker 1: talking about it's on the Sports Center or whatever right
Speaker 1: now that you know, what's the bigger deal the Chiefs
Speaker 1: being undefeated or the Niners what they're three and four,
Speaker 1: and we both agree that, you know, the Niners probably
Speaker 1: is the bigger deal or whatever. Shocking, shocking, And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're just getting raped with plagued with injury, and you
Speaker 1: agree that you guys are as well. And I'm sitting
Speaker 1: here thinking, I'm like, you know, f round, we could
Speaker 1: still take it, because all we got to do is
Speaker 1: just make it to the wild card round, right, and
Speaker 1: then just start stomping ass in the playoffs and could
Speaker 1: still make it to the super Bowl. You know, you
Speaker 1: said it many times before that like these these games,
Speaker 1: that's what really matters right there. So I'm hoping as
Speaker 1: a Niners fan, that that's what happens. We at least
Speaker 1: make it to the wild card round and then we
Speaker 1: just start kicking ass after that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, looking at the the group you guys are
Speaker 2: in in the wild card scenario, you are.
Speaker 3: Not likely, right, So in.
Speaker 2: A wild cards on the bubble, you guys are behind.
Speaker 2: So all right, on the NFC right now in the
Speaker 2: hunt is Lions, Commander, Seahawks, Falcons, Vikings, Packers, Bears.
Speaker 1: That's said, isn't it. The Bears are doing.
Speaker 2: And then on the bubble Eagles, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Cardinals, then
Speaker 2: the forty nine.
Speaker 1: Ers, right, we're like at the bottom of the fucking
Speaker 1: last year.
Speaker 2: And then Ram Saints, Giants, Panthers, so and then it
Speaker 2: has a projection of probability playoff probability, So Lions ninety
Speaker 2: percent playoff probability.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're kicking out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as they don't get dealt with injuries
Speaker 2: and they play at the level, yeah, they are absolutely
Speaker 2: gonna win. The National League Commanders one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: The only thing that I think they're in danger of
Speaker 2: is lack of experience. Right, they have a sixty two
Speaker 2: percent probability, Seahawks forty percent, Falcons sixty two percent, Vikings
Speaker 2: eighty seven percent, Packers sixty five, Bears thirty five percent.
Speaker 2: And then I'm not gonna go through all of them,
Speaker 2: but just the forty nine ers forty eight percent. So
Speaker 2: that still puts them well eligible to make it in
Speaker 2: it could we.
Speaker 1: Have to play a perfect season. I think for the
Speaker 1: rest of the season to make it there. If we
Speaker 1: continue to play like we're doing now, this same happen.
Speaker 3: This is if the playoffs today.
Speaker 1: Right, anything could change, anything can change at all whatsoever.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of where my hope is, you know,
Speaker 1: just leave the glimmer of hope out there that we
Speaker 1: can make it to the wild card. You know, play
Speaker 1: the rest of the season out damn near perfect, win
Speaker 1: our games, get to the wildcard round and at least
Speaker 1: start kicking ass there and then take it back to
Speaker 1: the to the big game for.
Speaker 2: The forty Because you, like you said that you guys
Speaker 2: have had injuries. What is the thing that takes you
Speaker 2: out of it completely?
Speaker 1: What do you mean.
Speaker 3: Because deebos oh, so like is the next? Who's the next?
Speaker 3: What's the key that would have to go for you
Speaker 3: to be like it's.
Speaker 1: Over a fucking party. Getting hurt part. I agree, pretty
Speaker 1: Getting hurt is the that's the only thing holding us
Speaker 1: together right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the he's the in game manager for sure.
Speaker 1: Absolutely take them out and if he gets hurt and
Speaker 1: we end up going with a backup. Not everybody is
Speaker 1: a fucking rock party, third string fucking backup. That just
Speaker 1: blows everybody away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dobbs could be some Brandon Allen could be something.
Speaker 2: I mean, remember Party was a third stringer exactly, so
Speaker 2: it is possible.
Speaker 1: It is possible, but not everybody's like that. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: and and God forbid, hope that's not the case. But
Speaker 1: if he got injured or something happened to him, I'm
Speaker 1: calling season done. I would I would call it done
Speaker 1: right then and just be like, hey, guys, let's just
Speaker 1: let's just finish up the season and we'll work on
Speaker 1: next season and try to do better. Well, we will
Speaker 1: do better, there's no try.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for us, if Patrick Mahomes went down, that that
Speaker 2: would be the end. Or maybe now Patrick Mahomes, it
Speaker 2: would be the one that would have to for sure,
Speaker 2: maybe Chris Jones like, because our defense is what's saving
Speaker 2: us in all of our games, so.
Speaker 1: Right, But I mean, you've got somebody in Mahomes that
Speaker 1: can do He could carry that team. Honestly, you can
Speaker 1: have a you know, Kelsey not be there, none of
Speaker 1: those big players be there, and he could st will
Speaker 1: carry the team. Yes, I think.
Speaker 2: So, I'm just saying, like, besides Kelsey or besides Mahomes
Speaker 2: who obviously wills that team into victories. And listen to this.
Speaker 2: I saw this this morning. This is really fascinating. This
Speaker 2: is the Chief's stats because obviously the interceptions, which like
Speaker 2: the interceptions on Sunday, were batted down. Player felt those
Speaker 2: really aren't his interceptions, right, that he wasn't like brock
Speaker 2: Purty throwing it straight to the defender.
Speaker 3: But I will argue too that like.
Speaker 2: In a couple of them, the receiver went in the
Speaker 2: wrong direction and party thought he was going to be
Speaker 2: somewhere else or where he was supposed to be.
Speaker 3: You could make that anyway. So this is their offense.
Speaker 2: Fourth in positive earned points after so like that's that's
Speaker 2: that's yeah, seventh in scoring drive percentage still top ten,
Speaker 2: fourth and lowest punt percentage and second fewest plays that
Speaker 2: go for no gain. The Chiefs either score or they
Speaker 2: turned the ball over. And that's that is the stat
Speaker 2: that's not terrible. Are they throwing interceptions, yes, right, But
Speaker 2: when they get the ball and if they don't turn
Speaker 2: it over, they're scoring.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: We have scored what was the stat it's some ridiculous number.
Speaker 2: We have scored like more than twenty one points every
Speaker 2: game since like Week seven, of last year.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm not saying that the Chiefs aren't good. They
Speaker 1: clearly are. They're working on their third straight Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: They run over everybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but.
Speaker 1: It gets fucking hold sometimes. Yeah, like come on, come on,
Speaker 1: there's another one. There was a TikTok that keep coming up,
Speaker 1: right because they'll like replay the games or whatever, and
Speaker 1: it's like flag on the play player player was too
Speaker 1: close to Patrick Mahomes' personal space. Fifteen yard loss, Chiefs
Speaker 1: win by fifty points. It's like, yeah, well that's kind
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah whatever.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah, Chiefs have scored over twenty one points in
Speaker 2: five of six games, including twenty on the forty nine
Speaker 2: Ers and twenty six on the Ravens and Saints, which
Speaker 2: were supposed to be good defensive teams for sure, ten
Speaker 2: number ten in yards per game, number thirteen points per game,
Speaker 2: forty percent of the top ten in total offense yards
Speaker 2: with the Ravens, forty nine Ers, Falcons, and Bengals. Like,
Speaker 2: that's not horrible company, no, it just as people are
Speaker 2: like they're so bad. Mahomes is over, Okay, No, if
Speaker 2: this is over, I'll take it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not gonna lie. I have thought that
Speaker 1: thought many a times up. Who can this mo fucker
Speaker 1: just retire already? And I think, you know, personally, if
Speaker 1: it was me, if it was me, no, now, this
Speaker 1: guy's making way too much. But I say, you know,
Speaker 1: get as much as you can if it was me,
Speaker 1: Get your third straight Super Bowl, Yeah, get your four
Speaker 1: straight super Bowl if you can, you know, and then retire,
Speaker 1: Stack up some cheese and keep doing you know, fucking
Speaker 1: endorsements for State Farm or whatever, which I think that's
Speaker 1: so bizarre that they've got, you know, in one commercial
Speaker 1: you can see Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid and sometimes
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey all three State Form. I'm like, that's so
Speaker 1: nuts that they have all those, you know, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I wonder how much State Farm dishes out for those
Speaker 1: three ple people.
Speaker 3: So the story is.
Speaker 2: But there's two interesting things about Mahomes. He will only
Speaker 2: film commercials in Kansas City, Okay. He doesn't want to
Speaker 2: travel to do films our commercials okay because he wants
Speaker 2: to have it in the community. And he doesn't want
Speaker 2: to travel from his family, okay, which makes sense sure
Speaker 2: if you can dictate that. And three, when they renew,
Speaker 2: he's always like I want to spread the wealth, and
Speaker 2: I thought.
Speaker 1: That that might be our case. I thought that might
Speaker 1: be the case because I don't know shit about fuck
Speaker 1: when it comes to that and how their deals set up.
Speaker 1: But I was like, I wonder he got the gig
Speaker 1: as you know, the spokesperson for State farmy. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: I want my buddy Travis here to be in on
Speaker 1: it too and get some money. Well why not get
Speaker 1: coaching involved as well, so to essentially spread the wealth
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: He's not charismatic. Andy Reid's not charismatic dude now, but
Speaker 2: neither is Saban. And he's in those commercials. You're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna lie there. The ones are money.
Speaker 1: Seeing Andy Reid in a commercial, you're just like, oh,
Speaker 1: that doesn't fit, but whatever, it works.
Speaker 3: But he can be funny the Fumbaluski bi you said,
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say that pretty funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh yeah. I love it either way. I just
Speaker 2: like watching it. It's more fun when you have people
Speaker 2: that are into it as well. Uh so, yeah, I
Speaker 2: just love That's kind of where I'm at.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not expecting to make it far in
Speaker 1: season I'm not expecting for the forty nine ers to
Speaker 1: make it that far, but it's still a good quality television,
Speaker 1: well and entertaining.
Speaker 2: I would argue you didn't get a fair shake because
Speaker 2: you really became a fan the year they go to
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, right.
Speaker 1: Right, right, I've always been a fan, right, but to
Speaker 1: really get into it, yeah I am now, yeah, absolutely so?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Wait, so we get these emails about solicitation for interviews.
Speaker 2: I could bore you with some of them. I'll give
Speaker 2: you one. We got an interview where did that one go?
Speaker 2: Because it was funny? We got an interview wanting us
Speaker 2: to talk to the Alzheimer's and dementia care expert. So
Speaker 2: we get a lot of requests for things like that,
Speaker 2: right yeah, which I don't think you need me to
Speaker 2: tell you. We pass on ninety nine point nine percent
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you passed up on a good one. There.
Speaker 1: I remember. We do the interview, but we act like
Speaker 1: we never remember anything. Who's this right? See but this one?
Speaker 2: And then we get a follow U usually like hey,
Speaker 2: I just want to see if you have time to
Speaker 2: talk to the dementia whatever person? And again if I
Speaker 2: if I don't recognize it. It's gone. Yeah, and sometimes
Speaker 2: we even get them for some famous people and sometimes
Speaker 2: it depends on who it is and we're.
Speaker 1: Like, eh, I don't want.
Speaker 3: To deal with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And so this one, though, I'm bringing up because of
Speaker 2: the topic, is so bizarre.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So they're wanting to know if we would like to
Speaker 2: have these two experts on, both doctors, to talk about
Speaker 2: the safety tips of bonfires. Huh, Corbyn circling back to
Speaker 2: see if you had any more questions about bonfire safety
Speaker 2: tips to avoid part pollution. Still have opportunities, but they're
Speaker 2: going fast to meet with doctor David blah blah blah
Speaker 2: and doctor Anthony blah blah blah to discuss methods to
Speaker 2: safely enjoy your next bonfire.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'd rather take lessons on how to make
Speaker 1: the perfect news. What the fuck? Man?
Speaker 2: I want to have them on to go. What made
Speaker 2: this an issue? What was the second what's the thing
Speaker 2: you were working on right? And what's the next thing
Speaker 2: on the plan? Because I feel like this, can you
Speaker 2: can deal with this later?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Tell me cancer is in one of those slots, Maybe
Speaker 2: child sex trafficking, maybe dependency issues.
Speaker 1: I hate when you say how to be safe at
Speaker 1: your next bonfire, I'm like, okay, make sure that nobody
Speaker 1: catches fire. That would make sense. Okay.
Speaker 3: I feel like that's the end of the conversation.
Speaker 1: Make sure the fires contained. And it's not this.
Speaker 3: I love this. Okay, all right, So let's think of
Speaker 3: the safety topics. Okay, hold on, we're gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 3: ask good old chat GPT. Okay, okay, so start thinking
Speaker 3: like just out loud brainstorm. Some of the concerns are
Speaker 3: dangers of a bonfire.
Speaker 1: Okay, the concerns are dangers of bonfire. How likely is
Speaker 1: it for a bond fire to get out of control?
Speaker 1: I think that's my number one concern And he's letting
Speaker 1: the chat GPT tell us the answer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm giving it.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to give it a all the potential concerns, right,
Speaker 2: I asked it. What are the dangers of bonfires that
Speaker 2: need to be addressed for public safety?
Speaker 1: Is what I asked it. Okay.
Speaker 2: And so the first that says the bonfires can pose
Speaker 2: several risks, okay, okay, yeah, and addressing these days is
Speaker 2: important to ensure public safety. Key concerns fire spread that
Speaker 2: feels what should go without saying any even if you
Speaker 2: have a grill a campfire, Yes, wind is an important
Speaker 2: attribute on the danger of it.
Speaker 1: One little piece of coal flyires up. Yeah, next thing
Speaker 1: you know, you're burning down the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: Fire fuel availability falls into that fire spread, like are
Speaker 2: you burning near dry vegetation? Like right now we're in
Speaker 2: a burn band. It's like some crazy fine. It's like
Speaker 2: a thousand dollars fine if you get caught with an
Speaker 2: open flame, I believe, including your grill really yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh. Other one air quality and smoke inhalation.
Speaker 2: Bonfires can release harmful particles and toxic fumes into the
Speaker 2: air when they're burned.
Speaker 3: Smoke inhalation can lead to respiratory issues.
Speaker 1: Sure, So I don't set a lot of bonfires off
Speaker 1: in the house. Usually they're done outside and the wind
Speaker 1: will carry the smoke away. So I don't really think
Speaker 1: of that as a concern, not for me. Now, what
Speaker 1: else did you put in there? Form?
Speaker 2: Well, I was checking something because I'll circle back to
Speaker 2: what we're done, and I wanted to say, okay, uh yeah,
Speaker 2: smoke in relation all right, Burn injuries, people falling into yeah,
Speaker 2: hot fires, children and pets are particularly vulnerable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because kids don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know why it doesn't alcohol, but yeah, explosive
Speaker 2: hazards of doing bonfire.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Pressure throwing containers, and that's what it says.
Speaker 2: Throwing aerosol cans, batteries or pressurized containers into bonfires can
Speaker 2: cause explosions.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I've seen that happen before. Not so much like
Speaker 1: with the batteries or whatever, but aerosol cans. Those all
Speaker 1: over people. When I was growing up in a New kirk.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they still do this or not,
Speaker 1: but they used to around homecoming time would have a
Speaker 1: giant bonfire for the school.
Speaker 3: You might remember.
Speaker 1: It was like.
Speaker 2: An A and M tailor. Maybe they had a big
Speaker 2: bonfire and they make this big structure and then it
Speaker 2: collapsed and a bunch of people died.
Speaker 1: That might be why. Maybe they don't do that anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they still do it, but
Speaker 1: this was back in the mid nineties when we were there,
Speaker 1: and kids would take fucking shotgun shells with them to
Speaker 1: the bonfire and throw them in the bonfire.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And I've thrown lighters and fires before. Those usually don't
Speaker 1: cause much damage, just yeah, and that's it inside the fire.
Speaker 1: But I get what they're saying, environmental damage, sure, okay,
Speaker 1: any whatever alcohol consumption. Public bonfires are often associated as
Speaker 1: social gatherings. Where alcohol is consumed, risk of accidents and
Speaker 1: injuries increase, if that makes sense. Sure, I can't tell
Speaker 1: you how many times I've gotten drunk and jumped through
Speaker 1: a bonfire or O. I'm many here. It's been at
Speaker 1: least half a dozen times or more.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had a buddy of mine. We were this was
Speaker 1: back in the early two thousands. It was like twenty
Speaker 1: not even twenty one yet. So yeah, this was two
Speaker 1: thousand and we're out there gathered around, we're at the
Speaker 1: bonfire and I just jump over, but do And he
Speaker 1: looks at me and he's like, I see Jesus when
Speaker 1: you're around, because I did some weird stuff that like
Speaker 1: would be considered dangerous jumping through fires or whatever.
Speaker 2: So, uh, legal restrictions and permits, sure, Improper extinguishing, one
Speaker 2: hundred percent. I could see that being a concern. You
Speaker 2: think it's out a lot of those fires. You think
Speaker 2: they're out in there, not wildlife impact. The heat, light
Speaker 2: and disturbments can harm or displace wildlife, particularly at night
Speaker 2: when animals are more active.
Speaker 3: I don't know anything about wildlife, so I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: assume that they're telling the truck.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I'm sure that they are. I've never really
Speaker 1: taken that into considerably.
Speaker 3: Like the bears were like, oh it's morning exactly.
Speaker 1: You know, the raccoons and deers aren't coming out. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: let's go outher around the fire.
Speaker 2: So I looked something up because I remember this being
Speaker 2: a thing, and it is a It is an old
Speaker 2: time practice in agriculture, and those are field burns.
Speaker 3: Oh, you can reset a field. A lot of farmers
Speaker 3: do this.
Speaker 2: It isn't as comedy more, but Kansas is a big
Speaker 2: proponent of it. There are times when they do it,
Speaker 2: depending on when they do it. You can see it
Speaker 2: from here in the sky. Oh really, it's pretty massive.
Speaker 1: Yeah. When I was living a New Kirk, same thing.
Speaker 1: We had a lot of wheat fields around and they
Speaker 1: would torch their fields for the next harvest. And my
Speaker 1: buddy Jesse Houser, his grandpa, would be sitting out in
Speaker 1: his front yard with his garden hose spraying off the
Speaker 1: roof of the house, just trying to keep it moist
Speaker 1: in case anything came up. It didn't burn the house down. Now,
Speaker 1: his house never burned down, so I don't know if
Speaker 1: that would worked or anything like that. But I'm thinking
Speaker 1: if this fire gets out of control, your fuh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has to do with maintenance, dealing with invasive
Speaker 2: species control, pest management, nutrient cycling. You can do it
Speaker 2: for cat I know it for cattle, like it helps
Speaker 2: encourage a special type of growth for cattle.
Speaker 3: To feed on.
Speaker 1: I've always known it for the nutrients that it's given
Speaker 1: back to the earth.
Speaker 2: So Kansas they do it from late March through April,
Speaker 2: and they're less common, but they also will do it
Speaker 2: in October in November.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it is a thing.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: These are the states the college is with the most
Speaker 2: notable bonfires. Oh fun, Texas A and m on a
Speaker 2: college station, they've had one of the most famous and
Speaker 2: largest bonfire traditions until the collapse in nineteen ninety nine,
Speaker 2: which killed twelve students. The official bonfire was discontinued by
Speaker 2: the university, but a student run off campus bonfire still
Speaker 2: occurs as part of the homecoming celebration.
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're just keeping the spirit alive. But hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: just do it off of campus. As long as the
Speaker 1: school has nothing to do with it, We're good. Okay.
Speaker 3: University Mississippi, Okay.
Speaker 2: Ole Miss continues to host bonfire's part of homecoming pep rally,
Speaker 2: student performances Tailgate.
Speaker 3: Clemson.
Speaker 2: They have a long standing tradition of hosting a homecoming bonfire,
Speaker 2: often associated with its rivalry football.
Speaker 3: Game against the game Cocks.
Speaker 2: It's typically part of a larger celebration that includes building
Speaker 2: student designed floats at the field. McMurray University in Abilene, Texas, Okay,
Speaker 2: they do it. And Nichols State University in Thibodeau, Louisiana,
Speaker 2: they've had bonfires part of it for a long time.
Speaker 2: Out of cool schools still do it. It was not
Speaker 2: a thing until I heard about the Texas one for
Speaker 2: meal anything about it?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, we would have one at our university, but
Speaker 2: it was never like it was never officially.
Speaker 3: I don't remember being official university thing.
Speaker 1: Okay, students getting together, let's have a bonfire and get
Speaker 1: drunk and celebrate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe again, maybe it was. I don't recall it,
Speaker 2: Okay being that way.
Speaker 1: I remember we did it into high school and that
Speaker 1: was that. That was just only there when I moved
Speaker 1: down here. So I moved from Newkirk over to Takowa.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I was only there for the one year,
Speaker 1: and I don't remember bonfires there. But of course that's
Speaker 1: when I started smoke a pot too, so that might
Speaker 1: have changed a little bit. Well. Then when I moved
Speaker 1: down here to Tulsa, I can't remember jinx Ever doing it.
Speaker 1: I don't remember Awasa doing it. But again, I kind
Speaker 1: of shifted in life sure to where I'm not wasn't
Speaker 1: so much, didn't give a damn about school spirit anymore.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to go party with my friends. But
Speaker 1: even then the friends were like, hey, go to the bonfire,
Speaker 1: as it was like my sophomore or my freshman years
Speaker 1: and before that.
Speaker 2: Now, I've been to plenty of bonfires, but they almost
Speaker 2: all have been on private land part of a camping
Speaker 2: thing or hangout or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a while since i've been to one.
Speaker 1: I've been invited to a few. I'm just like, I'm
Speaker 1: cool on sitting outside. I don't want to smell. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't bother me. I smell smoke all the time.
Speaker 1: It's just a bundle up and carry a fucking blanket,
Speaker 1: and we're sitting in front of this giant fire out
Speaker 1: in the wood.
Speaker 2: It's usually too hot. You gotta move around the smoke.
Speaker 2: It's a giant as it really is.
Speaker 1: It really is. But I get the camaraderie and we're
Speaker 1: fucking gathered around, we're having drinks, you know whatever. There's
Speaker 1: always just seems like there's that one guy that wants
Speaker 1: to make the fire bigger and more powerful. And it's like,
Speaker 1: we're good, what is it?
Speaker 3: You're right, like, it's there's always one guy that wants
Speaker 3: to throw gasoline into it. You're like, okay again, enough.
Speaker 1: Right, get the palette over there, man, break it up,
Speaker 1: bring it up, but throw it on their bro throat
Speaker 1: on it. Here's some gas, let's get go it. My
Speaker 1: go ahead?
Speaker 2: Uh my in lost camp and we'll sometimes meet up
Speaker 2: with them and take the kids out there or whatever
Speaker 2: and hang out.
Speaker 3: And you know, it doesn't matter. I mean, goddamn degrees
Speaker 3: and I probably do a fire and I.
Speaker 2: Just let him do it right, And no matter what,
Speaker 2: they start picking ship up and just throwing it in
Speaker 2: the fire.
Speaker 1: Hey, just because you want to watch it burn. Man,
Speaker 1: fire is an amazing element. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3: Sure, he is sure.
Speaker 1: The the destruction, the sheer destruction that it can cause
Speaker 1: within a matter of seconds is just amazing. I think. Uh,
Speaker 1: and it is fun to just a don't watch it burn,
Speaker 1: So I get way the kids do it, But you're right,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't have to be like it.
Speaker 2: There's a Richer Pryor movie where he watches kids on
Speaker 2: a bus to try and like get in busting loose.
Speaker 1: What the fuck you don't know this movie?
Speaker 2: It's dude, It is a great movie. So in the movie,
Speaker 2: he plays an ex con who's given a chance to
Speaker 2: avoid jail time. But I'll read what it says here.
Speaker 2: It says Richard Plier plays Joe Braxton, the x con
Speaker 2: who's trying to avoid jail time by driving a busload
Speaker 2: of trouble kids across the country. The children are being
Speaker 2: relocated after their special school is closed, and Pryor's characters
Speaker 2: tasked with transporting them along with their teacher played by
Speaker 2: Cicily Tyson. The movie mixes comedy and heartwarming moments as
Speaker 2: Joe bonds with the kids and helps them through various
Speaker 2: challenges in their journey. So he's a bad guy, right,
Speaker 2: and he plays that typical like chucking' and jive and
Speaker 2: Richard Pryor coming out of jail to like being a
Speaker 2: heartwarming guy.

Speaker 2: Pryor's character. Joe Braxton has to deal with his behavior
Speaker 2: while keeping the group safe with the journey. And at
Speaker 2: one point he's like hitting on Tyson and he looks

Speaker 2: solid way too. That's a good gold half. Oh, there's
Speaker 2: some good movies.

Speaker 1: let me see day. What's your favorite Richard Prior movie? Okay,
Speaker 1: five Richard Pryor movies? Oh, top list? The top list?
Speaker 1: Got you? Uh?
Speaker 3: These are the top five according to whatever right, silver
Speaker 3: streak Okay, him and Gene Wilder actual comedy about a
Speaker 3: man framed for murder on a cross country train.
Speaker 2: Prior's sharp humor and chemistry with Wilder makes this one
Speaker 2: of the best.
Speaker 3: Uh is this the one where they're on the train
Speaker 3: like they are like it's kind of like a pseudo
Speaker 3: Old West. No, no, no, it is not.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Live on the South, Bustin Loose, Harlem Knights, Okay, the
Speaker 3: Toy Okay, Boster's Millions, All right, which way is up?
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard of that one.
Speaker 2: Prior plays multiple Rosen this comedy about a poor farm
Speaker 2: worker who accidentally becomes involved in a union battle while
Speaker 2: dealing with personal and family issues.
Speaker 1: Car Wash, Hell yeah, car wash right, the original car Wash?
Speaker 3: Yes, he's very limited in it. He plays Daddy rich
Speaker 3: blue collar now tore auto workers Harvey Kaitel, Fat Codo
Speaker 3: and Richard Pryor, who become involved in a heist and
Speaker 3: subsequent dealings with their corrupt union.
Speaker 2: I don't know that movie. Yeah, you could work through
Speaker 2: the through the Richard Pryor catalog.
Speaker 1: That would be fun that It looks like a be
Speaker 1: a fun way to spend a Sunday. He's got quite
Speaker 1: a bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done some movies. Man, All from apparently being
Speaker 2: not a good dude either. No, how many wives do
Speaker 2: you think he.
Speaker 1: Had Richard Pryor? I want to say four four wives?
Speaker 3: Let me phrase the question.
Speaker 1: How many times do you think he was married? Four times? Seven?
Speaker 1: Seven times? Eh? What's the longest and what's the shortest? Oh,
Speaker 1: that's fun. I want to say ten years is the longest.
Speaker 1: Probably when he first got into the how this goodness?
Speaker 2: So he married Patricia Price in nineteen sixty They divorced
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty one.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: He married Shelley Bonus nineteen sixty seven, divorced in nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty nine. He married Deborah McGuire in nineteen seventy seven,
Speaker 2: divorced in nineteen seventy eight. He married Jennifer Lee in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty one, divorced in nineteen eighty two. He married
Speaker 2: Flynn Blane in nineteen eighty six, divorced in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 2: He married her again in nineteen ninety divorced in nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety one.
Speaker 1: Now they tried to make it work out again, huh.
Speaker 2: He then remarried Jennifer Lee in two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: And that's apparently who he was with when he died.
Speaker 1: Got it all right? So he went back to the
Speaker 1: well a few times, but most of origel relationships didn't
Speaker 1: last more than a year. That makes me feel better
Speaker 1: about myself.
Speaker 3: I could be wrong, but he he had. He was
Speaker 3: known to be quite the womanizer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was a different time. Yeah, back then, Yes,
Speaker 1: it was more acceptable about this.
Speaker 2: Nine years after Prior's death, biographical book called Becoming Richard
Speaker 2: Pryor by Scott Sahl stated that Prior acknowledged his bisexuality,
Speaker 2: and in twenty eighteen, Quincy Jones and Prior's widow Jennifer Lee,
Speaker 2: stated that Prior had a sexual relationship with Quincy Jones.
Speaker 2: Marlon Brando that Prior was open with his friends about
Speaker 2: his bisexual on the fact that he slept with men.
Speaker 2: Prior's daughter disputes the claim, to which she stated was
Speaker 2: in denial about her father's bisexuality. He later told the
Speaker 2: Hollywood entertainment series tm Z that it was the seventies.
Speaker 2: Drugs were still good. If you did enough cocaine, you'd
Speaker 2: hold I just make sure you did.
Speaker 3: Enough cocaine, you'd fuck a radiator and send it flowers
Speaker 3: in the morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could believe that.
Speaker 2: In his autobiography, Prior convictions, Prior's talks about having two
Speaker 2: week relationship with Matrasha, a trans woman, which he called
Speaker 2: two Weeks of being Gay, and his first special Live
Speaker 2: and Smoke and Prior discusses performing fallatio. He also said
Speaker 2: in the special and in nineteen nineteen seventy seven at
Speaker 2: a Gay Right show at the Hollywood Bowl, I have
Speaker 2: sucked to dick.
Speaker 1: And most people thought that he was just telling in
Speaker 1: it as a joke, just trying to be funny. Now
Speaker 1: he used his life experiences in his bit.
Speaker 2: I think when you tell jokes the way he tells jokes,
Speaker 2: you have to not give a fuck no, and if
Speaker 2: you don't give a fuck, you just fuck right.
Speaker 1: Probably one of the greatest. Yeah, he's definitely on the
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore of comedians. Yes, Yeah, he has to be Yes.
Speaker 1: If not, then there's something fucking wrong with him. Yes,
Speaker 1: because he changed, he changed how stand up Yes was done.
Speaker 4: Yes, when I uh, when I I tried stand up
Speaker 4: for a little while, I did like two open mics
Speaker 4: at the u IMBROV experiment when that was around over
Speaker 4: off of was.
Speaker 1: A seventy first and Riverside Peoria area anyhow, and uh,
Speaker 1: one of the guys is like you learned. Richard Pryor
Speaker 1: changed a lot of things. He's like three things you
Speaker 1: need when you're when you're doing comedy stand up comedy
Speaker 1: is is motherfucker, jack and right. And Richard Pryor put
Speaker 1: all three of those in his bits all the time.
Speaker 1: Call somebody motherfucker, call him jack and then right right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah at a time too like that. It wasn't
Speaker 2: what he was doing was pretty abrasive. Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's easily.
Speaker 2: You can make an argument he might be one of
Speaker 2: the best of all time full stop.
Speaker 1: I will go ahead and I would say that, I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta get put Carlin in there, right, he's Robin
Speaker 1: Williams has to. I could say that, I think Robin
Speaker 1: Williams is one of the best stand ups of all
Speaker 1: time because he was more than just telling jokes. He's,
Speaker 1: you know, a character performance, you know voices. Hey.
Speaker 2: I think it depends on who you ask. You asked
Speaker 2: Joe Blows, It could be anybody. Like I never thought
Speaker 2: Richard Pryor was funnier. It's what average quality, yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: but of comedians who practiced the art, this is what
Speaker 2: the list. Richard Pryor, of course Yeah, he's considered the
Speaker 2: greatest stand up comedian of all time, which there is
Speaker 2: a classification, because his ability to blend personal pain, social commentary,
Speaker 2: and humor revolutionized stand up. He broke boundaries by talking
Speaker 2: about topics that hadn't it been talked about on a microphone, right.
Speaker 3: George Carlin.
Speaker 2: Of course, because he was known about his social commentary
Speaker 2: is what made him so ability to push boundaries.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Lenny Bruce, Okay, okay, I never cared for his comedy
Speaker 3: that much, but okay, that's just me.
Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle, Oh, absolutely have to put him in the conversation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I like that because a lot of these
Speaker 1: like Carlenz, Lenny Bruce, they're old school. It's good to
Speaker 1: have a modern, recognizable name in there.
Speaker 2: You have to be fearless, and even Lenny Bruce was fearless. Yeah,
Speaker 2: right for his time in the fifties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just wasn't my bag.
Speaker 2: And for sure, Richard Pryor did that, and Chappelle is
Speaker 2: doing it now. Chris Rock felt like he was flirting
Speaker 2: with it, but it never was like Chappelle Or was.
Speaker 1: On his way up there.
Speaker 3: He still is. He's money, dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he can work a stage crazy, yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's near as good as he
Speaker 1: was in nineteen ninety nine at the height of his career.
Speaker 2: Also on this was Eddie Murphy, which I think is
Speaker 2: fair to put him on the list. Delirious and Raw
Speaker 2: Raw might be one of the best.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely lose recorded stand ups. Oh absolutely. But it
Speaker 1: was after those two that he started getting in and
Speaker 1: doing more movies, and I think he fell off. I
Speaker 1: think he started to fell off, fall off after those
Speaker 1: two Space.
Speaker 3: Didn't need but he didn't know. No, he did those
Speaker 3: when he was on SNL.
Speaker 1: Right exactly, but that after that he got he gained
Speaker 1: more popularity, started doing more movies.
Speaker 3: He didn't need to do them right.
Speaker 1: And then so to be a stand up guy comedian, yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: but stand up well. And his brother wrote all the
Speaker 1: all And that's another thing too.
Speaker 3: But Chappelle had a has a writer.
Speaker 1: I guess you, right.
Speaker 3: A lot of those guys have writer. That's not a
Speaker 3: big deal.
Speaker 2: Just like people are shocked to find out that the
Speaker 2: country singers specifically have writers, right, they have somebody that
Speaker 2: writes for them.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of songwriters.
Speaker 2: Pop writers also are known to do that, and we
Speaker 2: but we cut pop writer pop singers because they they
Speaker 2: have someone that writes their music, but we don't do
Speaker 2: that with country singers, right, yeah, Yeah, And I don't
Speaker 2: see Kat Williams on there. And I think Kat Williams
Speaker 2: might be one of the modern day you could push
Speaker 2: the boundaries fearless comedians out there.
Speaker 1: I would consider him one of the modern greats. Yes,
Speaker 1: probably be like Chappelle and then Cat if I was
Speaker 1: going to put him on any kind of arrangement or whatever,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't think he's better than Dave.
Speaker 1: This morning, I'm on my way, I'm getting ready for work,
Speaker 1: and fucking Half Baked is on the television. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I stop and I get stuck, fucking stuck watching this
Speaker 1: damn movie, and I'm like, I gotta go, I gotta
Speaker 1: go where I'm gonna sit here. I'm gonna be leg
Speaker 1: for work and I'm gonna sit here and watch all
Speaker 1: of half Bait. So I found it, you know, and
Speaker 1: Record has set it to record another time or whatever.
Speaker 1: But that fucking movie is so fantastic genius. Absolutely, you're
Speaker 1: nineteen eight, correct, ninety eight? Yeah. I try to think
Speaker 1: of where I was at in life where when when
Speaker 1: like movies and music came out, that's usually how I
Speaker 1: come to the dates like that.
Speaker 2: I mean, Chappelle, you expected him to be good in it,
Speaker 2: but who here's somebody who I think does not get
Speaker 2: the credit being like a scene stealer in that and
Speaker 2: is a great comedian that doesn't I don't think people
Speaker 2: don't put respect on his name. Harlon Williams.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, he's right.
Speaker 2: He steals scenes in that and that a lot of
Speaker 2: movies that he does.
Speaker 1: What is that movie a Rocketman Rocketman where he has
Speaker 1: to go into space with a monkey or whatever and
Speaker 1: they're trying to see if their life on Mars could
Speaker 1: exist or whatever, and you know, he has to save
Speaker 1: the captain or whatever, and he's like, like the shuttle
Speaker 1: is or something's gotta pin down, and he's like, all right,
Speaker 1: I need you to call me mommy, sir. And he's like, what,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that, and he's like, listen, I've
Speaker 1: heard that when a mother could lift a car off
Speaker 1: a child just off of adrenaline. Now, sir, call me mommy, okay, mommy,
Speaker 1: And then he lifts the rocket up I'm and saves
Speaker 1: the Captain. It's a great movie. He's a great he's
Speaker 1: a great actor.
Speaker 2: Rocketman, Half Baked Sorority Boys, Dumb and Dumber Employee of
Speaker 2: the month. Yeah, Freddy got fingered down periscope.
