was just talking to somebody back. There's a lot of
Cirk fans in the house. There's a lot of Cirk
merch in the house, which is great because we love
Cirk and uh, that's of course, Christina has the baddest
(00:58):
dude in the game. We'reing her, of course, and Christina,
you should there's a ton of cirqu fans here, Christina,
does that make you happy? That makes me very happy
because I bought that chain that you just mentioned and
we need some help with that.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So okay, yeah, yeah, that's good. Really broke. Yeah, but
it reminds me.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I was talking to these sweet people back here in
the back and this nice young lady whose birthday it
is tomorrow, Jessica, Jessica's birthday. I was talking to Jessica's
mom and I brought up, you know, they were talking
about how much they love cirk and I was like,
my favorite Cirque moment really from being here at this
Pluckers was Mike Siroy when he said he came up
with the game.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
How many wings you got back there?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
That's a lot class And I don't remember the answer,
but you know, for this Plucker's location, and I don't
know if they even know the answer, how many wings
do you have back there? If you have, you were
to count, how do you is it five thousand, ten
tho twenty thousand?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
How many wings are back there.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I don't even remember the answer at the time, do
you well, Jessica's mom said ten thousand, ten thousand wings?
She said ten thousands. You think it's more than ten
thousand or less than ten thousand? This is like price pick. Yeah, yeah,
any think he's an assistant manager thinks it's more. So
we're gonna we're going a number on that and actually
figure out what that is.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, that that's not Baby Jessica, is it back then?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Okay, is that Baby Jessica. Did you ever fall in
a well, I don't know if you ever fell in away.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
The timeline actually matches.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I think matches is very close.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So anyway, shout out to circ and Baby Jessica and
Baby jess you think you can guess back there? We
want you to text the fan at two one four seven,
eight seven, one five three and let everybody over there
know how many wings are at this pluckers.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Us hot God ever come.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Stay out time in the.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Ye Okay. Have you guys seen the new show on
HBO started Sunday night starring Tim Robinson called The Chair Company.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I thought I read that it's one of the only
shows to launch with a one hundred Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Score, Right, really is that? I's on an article about it? Wow,
I don't. It was just like, it's unprecedented for that
to happen. I watched it last night with my wife.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Okay, so TV ratings are weird now, the radio ratings,
it's all weird. Ratings are weird. But basically, how HBO
does it is they take a three day total because
they know no one's watching live. And it's the best
comedy that HBO has put out in five years in
terms of ratings. But then I started going, how many
comedies have they've been putting out outside of like a
new new season of Righteous Gymstones Urb Curb. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
True.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
So it did really well because I think people are
starting to know who Tim Robinson is. You guys have
any wild thoughts on that episode? That was insane?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I freaking loved it. I can't recommend this enough. And
I feel like, you know, I love I think you
should leave?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And what was it? Friendship and the Detroit Ters, the Detroitters,
It's all great.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
He's he's a fantastic stick actor, comedian, writer. It's all
just so good. It's right in my wheelhouse. I love it,
but I feel like this may be the perfect example
of him fine tuning it. It's still weird and it's
got him, but it's a little more accessible. Sometimes it's weird,
which I love. This isn't This got the little bit
of weird, but it's even more accessible than some of
(04:20):
the others.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay, So this is an interesting take to me because
as I was watching it, I'm wondering about the accessibility
of it. Oh yeah, like Friendship is in such a
weird place tonally, Like we kind of talked about it
being a little bit like The Cable Guy, which was
sort of universally rejected when it came out, and then
(04:41):
over time people grew to love it.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Paul rudmankes, Friendship accessible.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, but man, it goes to some really weird, dark
places and you're not sure what you're connecting with. And
I'm basing this off of the reaction of my wife,
where like she was like, what am I watching right now?
Speaker 4 (04:59):
What is I had that feeling watching it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I felt that way too, like watching Friendship.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, I failed to watch with the Chair Company.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And I thought about it with the Chair Company too,
because I'm not sure. You know, We're one episode in
and I can't figure out yet how much of a
man's fantasy we're watching. Yeah, you know what I'm saying,
because it's kind of like a Charlie Kaufman movie, Like,
at some point I'm watching this and then he reveals
that giant beanbag in an empty warehouse, and I'm not
(05:27):
trying to give away too much, but I'm like, Okay,
is he hallucinating right now?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
I think it's fair to share, you know what happened
to anyone who hasn't seen it.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Basically, Okay, he gets.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Promoted, and he is. After he makes his big speech.
As he goes to sit down in his chair, his
chair collapses and he falls and everyone's laughing at him,
and then he stands up and issues the great line,
I guess I shouldn't have had that extra cheese at
this moment.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
And then becomes obsessed with getting revenge on the chair company,
the chair company. That he's so obsessed he's starts derailing
from his job and his family and his family, and
he is. And that's the core of whether it's a
sketch or friendship or his head in the clouds character
(06:13):
in the Detroiters is being so obsessed with some dumb
detail that you can't focus on anything else that's happening,
and you're completely antisocial. Like in all these things, he's
just anti socialist.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It reminds me a little bit of he is the
one with Herbie Hancock.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Did you ever see that one?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't think he's got He's at a seminar with
Herbie Hancock and he's introducing Herbie Hancock to this group
of people and he's like, that's why our guy here tonight.
Herbie Hancock means so much to me. And he goes,
and I just like to say, for the dog that
attacked me, I don't think the dog should be put down.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Earlier, a dog attacked me. You all saw it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
That dog tried to bite my neck, bite my hair,
And I don't think that dog should put down. Now,
let's let's move forward. And then people are like, what
are you talking about? That dog was humping your neck.
He goes, what, no, it wasn't all right, Let's get
back to the show. And it's like and then it's
he's totally fixated on that detail.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
He can't even move forward with anything because of it.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Have y'all ever seen I know, we gotta go.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Have y'all ever seen him interviewed. No, he's very he's normal. Yeah,
he's not completely normal.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
He's very quiet guy.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, he's just real reserved.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And I was like, man, that guy has got a
lot of weird stuff going on in his head, but
he projects just totally normally on top show.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It is so good though.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, I mean, I'm I can't wait for the next one.
I must have the worst pillow in town.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Just watch.
