Speaker 1 (00:21):
You know, I hate to just HIJACKI, but we were
talking about it's on the Sports Center or whatever right
now that you know, what's the bigger deal the Chiefs
being undefeated or the Niners what they're three and four,
and we both agree that, you know, the Niners probably
is the bigger deal or whatever. Shocking, shocking, And I'm like, yeah,
we're just getting raped with plagued with injury, and you
(00:44):
agree that you guys are as well. And I'm sitting
here thinking, I'm like, you know, f round, we could
still take it, because all we got to do is
just make it to the wild card round, right, and
then just start stomping ass in the playoffs and could
still make it to the super Bowl. You know, you
said it many times before that like these these games,
(01:06):
that's what really matters right there. So I'm hoping as
a Niners fan, that that's what happens. We at least
make it to the wild card round and then we
just start kicking ass after that.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yeah, So, looking at the the group you guys are
in in the wild card scenario, you are.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Not likely, right, So in.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
A wild cards on the bubble, you guys are behind.
So all right, on the NFC right now in the
hunt is Lions, Commander, Seahawks, Falcons, Vikings, Packers, Bears.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
That's said, isn't it. The Bears are doing.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And then on the bubble Eagles, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Cardinals, then
the forty nine.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Ers, right, we're like at the bottom of the fucking
last year.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And then Ram Saints, Giants, Panthers, so and then it
has a projection of probability playoff probability, So Lions ninety
percent playoff probability.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, they're kicking out.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, as long as they don't get dealt with injuries
and they play at the level, yeah, they are absolutely
gonna win. The National League Commanders one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Man.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
The only thing that I think they're in danger of
is lack of experience. Right, they have a sixty two
percent probability, Seahawks forty percent, Falcons sixty two percent, Vikings
eighty seven percent, Packers sixty five, Bears thirty five percent.
And then I'm not gonna go through all of them,
but just the forty nine ers forty eight percent. So
that still puts them well eligible to make it in
(02:49):
it could we.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Have to play a perfect season. I think for the
rest of the season to make it there. If we
continue to play like we're doing now, this same happen.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
This is if the playoffs today.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Right, anything could change, anything can change at all whatsoever.
So that's kind of where my hope is, you know,
just leave the glimmer of hope out there that we
can make it to the wild card. You know, play
the rest of the season out damn near perfect, win
our games, get to the wildcard round and at least
start kicking ass there and then take it back to
(03:24):
the to the big game for.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
The forty Because you, like you said that you guys
have had injuries. What is the thing that takes you
out of it completely?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
What do you mean.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Because deebos oh, so like is the next? Who's the next?
What's the key that would have to go for you
to be like it's.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Over a fucking party. Getting hurt part. I agree, pretty
Getting hurt is the that's the only thing holding us
together right now.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, he's the he's the in game manager for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Absolutely take them out and if he gets hurt and
we end up going with a backup. Not everybody is
a fucking rock party, third string fucking backup. That just
blows everybody away.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, Dobbs could be some Brandon Allen could be something.
I mean, remember Party was a third stringer exactly, so
it is possible.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It is possible, but not everybody's like that. Yeah, and
and and God forbid, hope that's not the case. But
if he got injured or something happened to him, I'm
calling season done. I would I would call it done
right then and just be like, hey, guys, let's just
let's just finish up the season and we'll work on
next season and try to do better. Well, we will
(04:32):
do better, there's no try.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, for us, if Patrick Mahomes went down, that that
would be the end. Or maybe now Patrick Mahomes, it
would be the one that would have to for sure,
maybe Chris Jones like, because our defense is what's saving
us in all of our games, so.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Right, But I mean, you've got somebody in Mahomes that
can do He could carry that team. Honestly, you can
have a you know, Kelsey not be there, none of
those big players be there, and he could st will
carry the team. Yes, I think.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
So, I'm just saying, like, besides Kelsey or besides Mahomes
who obviously wills that team into victories. And listen to this.
I saw this this morning. This is really fascinating. This
is the Chief's stats because obviously the interceptions, which like
the interceptions on Sunday, were batted down. Player felt those
(05:26):
really aren't his interceptions, right, that he wasn't like brock
Purty throwing it straight to the defender.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
But I will argue too that like.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
In a couple of them, the receiver went in the
wrong direction and party thought he was going to be
somewhere else or where he was supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
You could make that anyway. So this is their offense.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Fourth in positive earned points after so like that's that's
that's yeah, seventh in scoring drive percentage still top ten,
fourth and lowest punt percentage and second fewest plays that
go for no gain. The Chiefs either score or they
turned the ball over. And that's that is the stat
(06:05):
that's not terrible. Are they throwing interceptions, yes, right, But
when they get the ball and if they don't turn
it over, they're scoring.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
We have scored what was the stat it's some ridiculous number.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We have scored like more than twenty one points every
game since like Week seven, of last year.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yes, I'm not saying that the Chiefs aren't good. They
clearly are. They're working on their third straight Super Bowl.
They run over everybody.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It gets fucking hold sometimes. Yeah, like come on, come on,
there's another one. There was a TikTok that keep coming up,
right because they'll like replay the games or whatever, and
it's like flag on the play player player was too
close to Patrick Mahomes' personal space. Fifteen yard loss, Chiefs
(07:00):
win by fifty points. It's like, yeah, well that's kind
of it. Yeah whatever.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Anyway, Yeah, Chiefs have scored over twenty one points in
five of six games, including twenty on the forty nine
Ers and twenty six on the Ravens and Saints, which
were supposed to be good defensive teams for sure, ten
number ten in yards per game, number thirteen points per game,
forty percent of the top ten in total offense yards
with the Ravens, forty nine Ers, Falcons, and Bengals. Like,
(07:29):
that's not horrible company, no, it just as people are
like they're so bad. Mahomes is over, Okay, No, if
this is over, I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, and I'm not gonna lie. I have thought that
thought many a times up. Who can this mo fucker
just retire already? And I think, you know, personally, if
it was me, if it was me, no, now, this
guy's making way too much. But I say, you know,
get as much as you can if it was me,
Get your third straight Super Bowl, Yeah, get your four
straight super Bowl if you can, you know, and then retire,
(08:01):
Stack up some cheese and keep doing you know, fucking
endorsements for State Farm or whatever, which I think that's
so bizarre that they've got, you know, in one commercial
you can see Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid and sometimes
Travis Kelsey all three State Form. I'm like, that's so
nuts that they have all those, you know, And I'm like,
(08:22):
I wonder how much State Farm dishes out for those
three ple people.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
So the story is.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
But there's two interesting things about Mahomes. He will only
film commercials in Kansas City, Okay. He doesn't want to
travel to do films our commercials okay because he wants
to have it in the community. And he doesn't want
to travel from his family, okay, which makes sense sure
if you can dictate that. And three, when they renew,
he's always like I want to spread the wealth, and
(08:51):
I thought.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
That that might be our case. I thought that might
be the case because I don't know shit about fuck
when it comes to that and how their deals set up.
But I was like, I wonder he got the gig
as you know, the spokesperson for State farmy. He's like, well,
I want my buddy Travis here to be in on
it too and get some money. Well why not get
coaching involved as well, so to essentially spread the wealth
(09:14):
as well.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
He's not charismatic. Andy Reid's not charismatic dude now, but
neither is Saban. And he's in those commercials. You're like, yeah,
this is uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna lie there. The ones are money.
Seeing Andy Reid in a commercial, you're just like, oh,
that doesn't fit, but whatever, it works.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
But he can be funny the Fumbaluski bi you said,
I'm not gonna say that pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah, uh yeah. I love it either way. I just
like watching it. It's more fun when you have people
that are into it as well. Uh so, yeah, I
just love That's kind of where I'm at.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I'm not I'm not expecting to make it far in
season I'm not expecting for the forty nine ers to
make it that far, but it's still a good quality television,
well and entertaining.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I would argue you didn't get a fair shake because
you really became a fan the year they go to
the Super Bowl, right.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Right, right, I've always been a fan, right, but to
really get into it, yeah I am now, yeah, absolutely so?
All right?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Wait, so we get these emails about solicitation for interviews.
I could bore you with some of them. I'll give
you one. We got an interview where did that one go?
Because it was funny? We got an interview wanting us
to talk to the Alzheimer's and dementia care expert. So
(10:51):
we get a lot of requests for things like that,
right yeah, which I don't think you need me to
tell you. We pass on ninety nine point nine percent
of them.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
I don't know, you passed up on a good one. There.
I remember. We do the interview, but we act like
we never remember anything. Who's this right? See but this one?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And then we get a follow U usually like hey,
I just want to see if you have time to
talk to the dementia whatever person? And again if I
if I don't recognize it. It's gone. Yeah, and sometimes
we even get them for some famous people and sometimes
it depends on who it is and we're.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Like, eh, I don't want.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
To deal with that.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
And so this one, though, I'm bringing up because of
the topic, is so bizarre.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So they're wanting to know if we would like to
have these two experts on, both doctors, to talk about
the safety tips of bonfires. Huh, Corbyn circling back to
see if you had any more questions about bonfire safety
(11:58):
tips to avoid part pollution. Still have opportunities, but they're
going fast to meet with doctor David blah blah blah
and doctor Anthony blah blah blah to discuss methods to
safely enjoy your next bonfire.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Oh man, I'd rather take lessons on how to make
the perfect news. What the fuck? Man?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I want to have them on to go. What made
this an issue? What was the second what's the thing
you were working on right? And what's the next thing
on the plan? Because I feel like this, can you
can deal with this later?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Tell me cancer is in one of those slots, Maybe
child sex trafficking, maybe dependency issues.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I hate when you say how to be safe at
your next bonfire, I'm like, okay, make sure that nobody
catches fire. That would make sense. Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I feel like that's the end of the conversation.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Make sure the fires contained. And it's not this.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I love this. Okay, all right, So let's think of
the safety topics. Okay, hold on, we're gonna I'm gonna
ask good old chat GPT. Okay, okay, so start thinking
like just out loud brainstorm. Some of the concerns are
dangers of a bonfire.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Okay, the concerns are dangers of bonfire. How likely is
it for a bond fire to get out of control?
I think that's my number one concern And he's letting
the chat GPT tell us the answer.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, well, I'm giving it.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I'm trying to give it a all the potential concerns, right,
I asked it. What are the dangers of bonfires that
need to be addressed for public safety?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Is what I asked it. Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And so the first that says the bonfires can pose
several risks, okay, okay, yeah, and addressing these days is
important to ensure public safety. Key concerns fire spread that
feels what should go without saying any even if you
have a grill a campfire, Yes, wind is an important
(14:13):
attribute on the danger of it.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
One little piece of coal flyires up. Yeah, next thing
you know, you're burning down the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Fire fuel availability falls into that fire spread, like are
you burning near dry vegetation? Like right now we're in
a burn band. It's like some crazy fine. It's like
a thousand dollars fine if you get caught with an
open flame, I believe, including your grill really yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Uh. Other one air quality and smoke inhalation.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Bonfires can release harmful particles and toxic fumes into the
air when they're burned.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Smoke inhalation can lead to respiratory issues.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Sure, So I don't set a lot of bonfires off
in the house. Usually they're done outside and the wind
will carry the smoke away. So I don't really think
of that as a concern, not for me. Now, what
(15:08):
else did you put in there? Form?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Well, I was checking something because I'll circle back to
what we're done, and I wanted to say, okay, uh yeah,
smoke in relation all right, Burn injuries, people falling into yeah,
hot fires, children and pets are particularly vulnerable.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, because kids don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I don't know why it doesn't alcohol, but yeah, explosive
hazards of doing bonfire.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
That makes sense. Pressure throwing containers, and that's what it says.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Throwing aerosol cans, batteries or pressurized containers into bonfires can
cause explosions.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Absolutely. I've seen that happen before. Not so much like
with the batteries or whatever, but aerosol cans. Those all
over people. When I was growing up in a New kirk.
I don't know if they still do this or not,
but they used to around homecoming time would have a
(16:06):
giant bonfire for the school.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You might remember.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
It was like.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
An A and M tailor. Maybe they had a big
bonfire and they make this big structure and then it
collapsed and a bunch of people died.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
That might be why. Maybe they don't do that anymore.
I don't even know if they still do it, but
this was back in the mid nineties when we were there,
and kids would take fucking shotgun shells with them to
the bonfire and throw them in the bonfire.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
And I've thrown lighters and fires before. Those usually don't
cause much damage, just yeah, and that's it inside the fire.
But I get what they're saying, environmental damage, sure, okay,
any whatever alcohol consumption. Public bonfires are often associated as
social gatherings. Where alcohol is consumed, risk of accidents and
injuries increase, if that makes sense. Sure, I can't tell
(16:56):
you how many times I've gotten drunk and jumped through
a bonfire or O. I'm many here. It's been at
least half a dozen times or more.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I had a buddy of mine. We were this was
back in the early two thousands. It was like twenty
not even twenty one yet. So yeah, this was two
thousand and we're out there gathered around, we're at the
bonfire and I just jump over, but do And he
looks at me and he's like, I see Jesus when
you're around, because I did some weird stuff that like
(17:27):
would be considered dangerous jumping through fires or whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
So, uh, legal restrictions and permits, sure, Improper extinguishing, one
hundred percent. I could see that being a concern. You
think it's out a lot of those fires. You think
they're out in there, not wildlife impact. The heat, light
and disturbments can harm or displace wildlife, particularly at night
when animals are more active.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I don't know anything about wildlife, so I'm just gonna
assume that they're telling the truck.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Okay, okay, I'm sure that they are. I've never really
taken that into considerably.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Like the bears were like, oh it's morning exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You know, the raccoons and deers aren't coming out. You're like, oh,
let's go outher around the fire.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
So I looked something up because I remember this being
a thing, and it is a It is an old
time practice in agriculture, and those are field burns.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Oh, you can reset a field. A lot of farmers
do this.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
It isn't as comedy more, but Kansas is a big
proponent of it. There are times when they do it,
depending on when they do it. You can see it
from here in the sky. Oh really, it's pretty massive.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah. When I was living a New Kirk, same thing.
We had a lot of wheat fields around and they
would torch their fields for the next harvest. And my
buddy Jesse Houser, his grandpa, would be sitting out in
his front yard with his garden hose spraying off the
roof of the house, just trying to keep it moist
(18:50):
in case anything came up. It didn't burn the house down. Now,
his house never burned down, so I don't know if
that would worked or anything like that. But I'm thinking
if this fire gets out of control, your fuh.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, it has to do with maintenance, dealing with invasive
species control, pest management, nutrient cycling. You can do it
for cat I know it for cattle, like it helps
encourage a special type of growth for cattle.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
To feed on.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I've always known it for the nutrients that it's given
back to the earth.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So Kansas they do it from late March through April,
and they're less common, but they also will do it
in October in November.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Okay, so it is a thing.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
These are the states the college is with the most
notable bonfires. Oh fun, Texas A and m on a
college station, they've had one of the most famous and
largest bonfire traditions until the collapse in nineteen ninety nine,
which killed twelve students. The official bonfire was discontinued by
the university, but a student run off campus bonfire still
(19:54):
occurs as part of the homecoming celebration.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Okay, so they're just keeping the spirit alive. But hey, hey, hey,
just do it off of campus. As long as the
school has nothing to do with it, We're good. Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
University Mississippi, Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Ole Miss continues to host bonfire's part of homecoming pep rally,
student performances Tailgate.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Clemson.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They have a long standing tradition of hosting a homecoming bonfire,
often associated with its rivalry football.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Game against the game Cocks.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's typically part of a larger celebration that includes building
student designed floats at the field. McMurray University in Abilene, Texas, Okay,
they do it. And Nichols State University in Thibodeau, Louisiana,
they've had bonfires part of it for a long time.
Out of cool schools still do it. It was not
(20:43):
a thing until I heard about the Texas one for
meal anything about it?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Really?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, Now, we would have one at our university, but
it was never like it was never officially.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I don't remember being official university thing.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Okay, students getting together, let's have a bonfire and get
drunk and celebrate.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, maybe again, maybe it was. I don't recall it,
Okay being that way.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I remember we did it into high school and that
was that. That was just only there when I moved
down here. So I moved from Newkirk over to Takowa.
I don't remember. I was only there for the one year,
and I don't remember bonfires there. But of course that's
when I started smoke a pot too, so that might
have changed a little bit. Well. Then when I moved
down here to Tulsa, I can't remember jinx Ever doing it.
(21:30):
I don't remember Awasa doing it. But again, I kind
of shifted in life sure to where I'm not wasn't
so much, didn't give a damn about school spirit anymore.
I just wanted to go party with my friends. But
even then the friends were like, hey, go to the bonfire,
as it was like my sophomore or my freshman years
(21:52):
and before that.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Now, I've been to plenty of bonfires, but they almost
all have been on private land part of a camping
thing or hangout or whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yeah, it's been a while since i've been to one.
I've been invited to a few. I'm just like, I'm
cool on sitting outside. I don't want to smell. Yeah,
I don't bother me. I smell smoke all the time.
It's just a bundle up and carry a fucking blanket,
and we're sitting in front of this giant fire out
in the wood.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's usually too hot. You gotta move around the smoke.
It's a giant as it really is.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
It really is. But I get the camaraderie and we're
fucking gathered around, we're having drinks, you know whatever. There's
always just seems like there's that one guy that wants
to make the fire bigger and more powerful. And it's like,
we're good, what is it?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
You're right, like, it's there's always one guy that wants
to throw gasoline into it. You're like, okay again, enough.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Right, get the palette over there, man, break it up,
bring it up, but throw it on their bro throat
on it. Here's some gas, let's get go it. My
go ahead?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Uh my in lost camp and we'll sometimes meet up
with them and take the kids out there or whatever
and hang out.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
And you know, it doesn't matter. I mean, goddamn degrees
and I probably do a fire and I.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Just let him do it right, And no matter what,
they start picking ship up and just throwing it in
the fire.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Hey, just because you want to watch it burn. Man,
fire is an amazing element. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Sure, he is sure.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
The the destruction, the sheer destruction that it can cause
within a matter of seconds is just amazing. I think. Uh,
and it is fun to just a don't watch it burn,
So I get way the kids do it, But you're right,
and it doesn't have to be like it.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
There's a Richer Pryor movie where he watches kids on
a bus to try and like get in busting loose.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
What the fuck you don't know this movie?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
It's dude, It is a great movie. So in the movie,
he plays an ex con who's given a chance to
avoid jail time. But I'll read what it says here.
It says Richard Plier plays Joe Braxton, the x con
who's trying to avoid jail time by driving a busload
of trouble kids across the country. The children are being
relocated after their special school is closed, and Pryor's characters
tasked with transporting them along with their teacher played by
(24:09):
Cicily Tyson. The movie mixes comedy and heartwarming moments as
Joe bonds with the kids and helps them through various
challenges in their journey. So he's a bad guy, right,
and he plays that typical like chucking' and jive and
Richard Pryor coming out of jail to like being a
heartwarming guy.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
And in the in.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
It there's a kid hold on there who is the pyro.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh god, there's this one kid who's a pyro pyromaniac, Ernesto,
one of the trouble kids on the bus. He's portrayed
as a child with a paschant pashant for lightning things
on fire, adding both comedic and dramatic elements to Richard
(24:53):
Pryor's character. Joe Braxton has to deal with his behavior
while keeping the group safe with the journey. And at
one point he's like hitting on Tyson and he looks
back and there's a fire and he's like that, you know, being.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Like Richard Prior character. It's just a great scene.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Man. I it's apparently it's on Amazon Prime, but I'm
not sure if I want to spend the three forty nine. Yeah,
so what, I don't think it'll be on again, it'll
be I've never heard of that movie. Oh dude. Classic Richard.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Quotes quotes from because there are some fantastic ones. It
is just so perfect because he gets so frustrated. Uh,
I'm gonna give you.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
All one warning.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Don't make me hurt you talking to children, right, Okay, okay,
what was a different time He's yelling about the kids
in Sicily Tyson's character goes, they're not crazy, mister Braxton,
They're just different.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, I'm out here in the middle of nowhere with
the busload reject rejects in a dream internesto, this is
one of the best quotes.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Fire.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I like Fire.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
It's a good movie, dude, it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Check it out. Then maybe I will break down.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Dude, to work through. The Richard Pryor catalog is a
solid way too. That's a good gold half. Oh, there's
some good movies.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I thought i'd seen them all, but apparently I've seen
stir Crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yeah, Ster Crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Course, Brewster's Millions, of course the most popular one. Yeah,
let me see day. What's your favorite Richard Prior movie? Okay,
five Richard Pryor movies? Oh, top list? The top list?
Got you? Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
These are the top five according to whatever right, silver
streak Okay, him and Gene Wilder actual comedy about a
man framed for murder on a cross country train.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Prior's sharp humor and chemistry with Wilder makes this one
of the best.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Uh is this the one where they're on the train
like they are like it's kind of like a pseudo
Old West. No, no, no, it is not.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Live on the South, Bustin Loose, Harlem Knights, Okay, the
Toy Okay, Boster's Millions, All right, which way is up?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I don't think I've ever heard of that one.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Prior plays multiple Rosen this comedy about a poor farm
worker who accidentally becomes involved in a union battle while
dealing with personal and family issues.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Car Wash, Hell yeah, car wash right, the original car Wash?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yes, he's very limited in it. He plays Daddy rich
blue collar now tore auto workers Harvey Kaitel, Fat Codo
and Richard Pryor, who become involved in a heist and
subsequent dealings with their corrupt union.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I don't know that movie. Yeah, you could work through
the through the Richard Pryor catalog.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
That would be fun that It looks like a be
a fun way to spend a Sunday. He's got quite
a bit.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, he's done some movies. Man, All from apparently being
not a good dude either. No, how many wives do
you think he.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Had Richard Pryor? I want to say four four wives?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Let me phrase the question.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
How many times do you think he was married? Four times? Seven?
Seven times? Eh? What's the longest and what's the shortest? Oh,
that's fun. I want to say ten years is the longest.
Probably when he first got into the how this goodness?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
So he married Patricia Price in nineteen sixty They divorced
in nineteen sixty one.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
He married Shelley Bonus nineteen sixty seven, divorced in nineteen
sixty nine. He married Deborah McGuire in nineteen seventy seven,
divorced in nineteen seventy eight. He married Jennifer Lee in
nineteen eighty one, divorced in nineteen eighty two. He married
Flynn Blane in nineteen eighty six, divorced in nineteen eighty seven.
(29:06):
He married her again in nineteen ninety divorced in nineteen
ninety one.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Now they tried to make it work out again, huh.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
He then remarried Jennifer Lee in two thousand and one.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
And that's apparently who he was with when he died.
Got it all right? So he went back to the
well a few times, but most of origel relationships didn't
last more than a year. That makes me feel better
about myself.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I could be wrong, but he he had. He was
known to be quite the womanizer.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, well it was a different time. Yeah, back then, Yes,
it was more acceptable about this.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Nine years after Prior's death, biographical book called Becoming Richard
Pryor by Scott Sahl stated that Prior acknowledged his bisexuality,
and in twenty eighteen, Quincy Jones and Prior's widow Jennifer Lee,
stated that Prior had a sexual relationship with Quincy Jones.
Marlon Brando that Prior was open with his friends about
his bisexual on the fact that he slept with men.
(30:08):
Prior's daughter disputes the claim, to which she stated was
in denial about her father's bisexuality. He later told the
Hollywood entertainment series tm Z that it was the seventies.
Drugs were still good. If you did enough cocaine, you'd
hold I just make sure you did.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Enough cocaine, you'd fuck a radiator and send it flowers
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, I could believe that.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
In his autobiography, Prior convictions, Prior's talks about having two
week relationship with Matrasha, a trans woman, which he called
two Weeks of being Gay, and his first special Live
and Smoke and Prior discusses performing fallatio. He also said
in the special and in nineteen nineteen seventy seven at
a Gay Right show at the Hollywood Bowl, I have
(30:54):
sucked to dick.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
And most people thought that he was just telling in
it as a joke, just trying to be funny. Now
he used his life experiences in his bit.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
I think when you tell jokes the way he tells jokes,
you have to not give a fuck no, and if
you don't give a fuck, you just fuck right.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Probably one of the greatest. Yeah, he's definitely on the
Mount Rushmore of comedians. Yes, Yeah, he has to be Yes.
If not, then there's something fucking wrong with him. Yes,
because he changed, he changed how stand up Yes was done.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Yes, when I uh, when I I tried stand up
for a little while, I did like two open mics
at the u IMBROV experiment when that was around over
off of was.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
A seventy first and Riverside Peoria area anyhow, and uh,
one of the guys is like you learned. Richard Pryor
changed a lot of things. He's like three things you
need when you're when you're doing comedy stand up comedy
is is motherfucker, jack and right. And Richard Pryor put
all three of those in his bits all the time.
(32:04):
Call somebody motherfucker, call him jack and then right right.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Yeah, yeah at a time too like that. It wasn't
what he was doing was pretty abrasive. Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Yeah, yeah, he's easily.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
You can make an argument he might be one of
the best of all time full stop.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I will go ahead and I would say that, I mean,
you gotta get put Carlin in there, right, he's Robin
Williams has to. I could say that, I think Robin
Williams is one of the best stand ups of all
time because he was more than just telling jokes. He's,
you know, a character performance, you know voices. Hey.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I think it depends on who you ask. You asked
Joe Blows, It could be anybody. Like I never thought
Richard Pryor was funnier. It's what average quality, yeah yeah,
but of comedians who practiced the art, this is what
the list. Richard Pryor, of course Yeah, he's considered the
greatest stand up comedian of all time, which there is
(33:15):
a classification, because his ability to blend personal pain, social commentary,
and humor revolutionized stand up. He broke boundaries by talking
about topics that hadn't it been talked about on a microphone, right.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
George Carlin.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Of course, because he was known about his social commentary
is what made him so ability to push boundaries.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Right.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Lenny Bruce, Okay, okay, I never cared for his comedy
that much, but okay, that's just me.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Dave Chappelle, Oh, absolutely have to put him in the conversation.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah, and I like that because a lot of these
like Carlenz, Lenny Bruce, they're old school. It's good to
have a modern, recognizable name in there.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
You have to be fearless, and even Lenny Bruce was fearless. Yeah,
right for his time in the fifties.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah, it just wasn't my bag.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
And for sure, Richard Pryor did that, and Chappelle is
doing it now. Chris Rock felt like he was flirting
with it, but it never was like Chappelle Or was.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
On his way up there.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
He still is. He's money, dude.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Yeah, he can work a stage crazy, yeah, for sure,
but I don't think he's near as good as he
was in nineteen ninety nine at the height of his career.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Also on this was Eddie Murphy, which I think is
fair to put him on the list. Delirious and Raw
Raw might be one of the best.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Oh absolutely lose recorded stand ups. Oh absolutely. But it
was after those two that he started getting in and
doing more movies, and I think he fell off. I
think he started to fell off, fall off after those
two Space.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Didn't need but he didn't know. No, he did those
when he was on SNL.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Right exactly, but that after that he got he gained
more popularity, started doing more movies.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
He didn't need to do them right.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
And then so to be a stand up guy comedian, yes, absolutely,
but stand up well. And his brother wrote all the
all And that's another thing too.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
But Chappelle had a has a writer.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
I guess you, right.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
A lot of those guys have writer. That's not a
big deal.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Just like people are shocked to find out that the
country singers specifically have writers, right, they have somebody that
writes for them.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
There's a lot of songwriters.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Pop writers also are known to do that, and we
but we cut pop writer pop singers because they they
have someone that writes their music, but we don't do
that with country singers, right, yeah, Yeah, And I don't
see Kat Williams on there. And I think Kat Williams
might be one of the modern day you could push
the boundaries fearless comedians out there.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
I would consider him one of the modern greats. Yes,
probably be like Chappelle and then Cat if I was
going to put him on any kind of arrangement or whatever,
but I don't. I don't think he's better than Dave.
This morning, I'm on my way, I'm getting ready for work,
and fucking Half Baked is on the television. Yeah, and
(36:15):
I stop and I get stuck, fucking stuck watching this
damn movie, and I'm like, I gotta go, I gotta
go where I'm gonna sit here. I'm gonna be leg
for work and I'm gonna sit here and watch all
of half Bait. So I found it, you know, and
Record has set it to record another time or whatever.
But that fucking movie is so fantastic genius. Absolutely, you're
(36:35):
nineteen eight, correct, ninety eight? Yeah. I try to think
of where I was at in life where when when
like movies and music came out, that's usually how I
come to the dates like that.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I mean, Chappelle, you expected him to be good in it,
but who here's somebody who I think does not get
the credit being like a scene stealer in that and
is a great comedian that doesn't I don't think people
don't put respect on his name. Harlon Williams.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Oh my goodness, he's right.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
He steals scenes in that and that a lot of
movies that he does.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
What is that movie a Rocketman Rocketman where he has
to go into space with a monkey or whatever and
they're trying to see if their life on Mars could
exist or whatever, and you know, he has to save
the captain or whatever, and he's like, like the shuttle
is or something's gotta pin down, and he's like, all right,
I need you to call me mommy, sir. And he's like, what,
(37:36):
I'm not gonna do that, and he's like, listen, I've
heard that when a mother could lift a car off
a child just off of adrenaline. Now, sir, call me mommy, okay, mommy,
And then he lifts the rocket up I'm and saves
the Captain. It's a great movie. He's a great he's
(37:56):
a great actor.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Rocketman, Half Baked Sorority Boys, Dumb and Dumber Employee of
the month. Yeah, Freddy got fingered down periscope.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Freddie got fingered was that is a I think that's
an underrated great movie? Daddy? Would you like some sausage?
