Gibbons complimenting Greg’s listening skills as Greg checks his phone and spaces out.. this is why I love this pod!

[@paints_his_shirt_red]

C’mon guys, The Curl Up and Dye Beauty Salon was a joke from The Blues Brothers.

[@ashleyromero5302]

Mike's dry, dark wit is impressive. He says it so casually too ♠️

[@brennan09]

never change a thing, guys. love the show.

[@SillyCrazyFun]

Had to do a google on Chris Stapleton, not knowing the name. Same a while back with Walker Jr, per you guys. Maybe shouldn't be but it's hard to imagine either of you enjoying country. More power to you, it burns my ears and Im in TX

[@mikegibbons6650]

Some good stuff out there

[@alanfike]

I really wonder if it's me, with Chris Stapleton. "Is it me, or do his songs suck?" He sounds great -- but aside from his voice, that's technology. It might be my 30+ years as a musician and general music producer of almost as long, but this music doesn't inspire me in the least. We used to have better new music. Literally, Wheeler Walker sounds amazing, doesn't he? And he's fake!! True songwriting comes from experience, not an algorithm.

[@jayneblue2]

"You Know Me" matches guests of 1,000+ Fitzdog show but kinda disappointed there won't be a "Fitz & Giggles" special. Next time?

[@Dan-rv3lb]

Mike’s mini-rant on Comedy Central business stuff seems like some good smoke to spark up a patreon. Love the inside baseball. Take it eeesh!

[@jstrangepork]

Greg: "Huck too-wah" somehow way more gross than Hawk Tuah 😂

[@jojoe3193]

This pod-show makes me think...about laughing.

[@SBb374]

35:49 The bumfights line is the funniest thing I've heard about the debate circus.

[@STAR_FLIGHT]

Hey guys - happy to see your funny smiling faces, like it closer up so we can get a gander atcha cute mugs!

[@alanfike]

The Founder is pretty great. Anything Michael Keaton does tends to be great. I wish I could find his old stand-up. Not joking, back when Comedy Central showed stand-up from the '80s and '90s I remember enjoying at least clips, if not a special, by a Gung Ho, Mr. Mom era Michael Keaton. I guess his real dream was to be a movie star who negotiates multi-million dollar contracts than to be a stand-up comic. His loss, amirite????

[@danieltate4444]

Wayne Newton was in national lampoons Vegas vacation

[@pmcauslan]

Yes, this Fitz fact confused "Wayne's World" and "Vegas Vacation," both alliterations!

[@alanfike]

It's hard to tell if Bert is unwilling to commit to personal education or he has a disability, because I've listened to him a lot, and a mental disability with him isn't apparent (assuming he indeed isn't addicted to anything, not sure if the jury is still out on that). Again, I don't see any mental disability with Bert. So what's his thing against just taking the time to get deep on a subject? Maybe he has ADD? It isn't my concern to diagnose him, particularly since I don't have any psychology education. It's just by his behavior, I think he would have more confidence from what others think if he started taking a deeper command into topics that he's always wondered about. Dammit, he might turn into one of those folks who keep correcting people. Maybe this will make a monster. I'd just be happier to see Bert having more confidence in his own judgement and not to take what people outside his household too seriously. He deserves to be happy.

[@alanfike]

That Big Brown Bag, twine and tape story is disturbingly close to the Steven Wright gag that he dated the daughter of the guy who invented the diagram that tells you where to put in batteries.

[@OrangeUFunny.]

😵😵‍💫I may never hear something that makes me feel as old as hearing Paul McCartney called the Beatles vocalist. Merely feeling need to mention "Beatles" as a way to identify him was ouch!

[@HA.HA.HA..]

What's really insane is they've not made a movie about Crazy Eddie going from NYC pitchman to gangster to international mobsterr and the takedown of him

[@ATTELL_FAN]

Hear Greg on Paramount Plus - Don't know whats on it, dont care - the name is horrible choice as a callback to older than god movie studio as a channel my grandparents would enjoy versus rebranding to peek interest. No thanks

[@alanfike]

The flight attendant had no right to police people off a mistake like that. If you want respect, be respectful.

[@ReediculousB]

Mike referenced my caption when he said "I like the Peeping Tomlete" but it never got read outloud. How is my ego supposed to be stroked now? 😂

[@3BeachieBlondie]

Mike, how could you?!? Does Greg know you're getting some side gorgeous, hooking up with Kilborn pod on the side?

[@alanfike]

The only poll that matters is the final election results. To me, polls are like half as reliable as the weatherman. Some might say less.

[@alanfike]

I love the "Do you know who is President?"

[@Betty-Boop809]

I saw that flight attendant story on Tik toc. It seems that passenger had a few different stories, none of them seemed to be true . The pilot threw her off.

[@spotcenternanana-nanana2413]

Greg's first mistake comes at 1:11, setting a NEW RECORD! So Greg, how does one get on a "paper" with the LA Times? Is this paper like a magic carpet?

[@spotcenternanana-nanana2413]

And you know Greg "Hawk Tuah'd" on that piece 🥒 he got on his knees for in his famous "I went to the woods in the park to blow a guy to see if I'm gay but didn't do it" fable.

[@Crow5853]

I'm sorry, Mike but you are missing out on a journey. I love Calvin and Hobbs.

[@alanfike]

Yeah, Comedy Central is one of the most confusing situations I've ever seen, and we've lived through Quiznos being a scam (for franchise owners, they were strangled with franchise fees, everything had to be ordered through the company). Salvia and trying to complete tasks. Holy crap, you were there at the beginning. It's shocking but not surprising to hear that corporate television policy is to take everything good and ask, "Are we making enough money off of this?"

[@jorgeyaquilugobeltran]

A gift from Fitz on my Bday MF Glorious! Take care fellas, Salud!

my mom moved us to tulsa when i was in highschool,💩early 80ish. there was no mention of the riot. we did learn about the 5 tribes that were forced to live in oklahomo. chacktaw chickasaw , shawnee, racesistee, and hickasaw. Anyway, that place was hugely racist when I was there. I learned bigotry there. Thanks mom, great environment. If Tulsa is the new Austin, I'll stay here in Austin. Of course Austin is the new Dallas.

[@adamdales2626]

Waaaay too much tardentology. See you next week maybe.

[@mikegibbons6650]

ahhh sorry

[@ASTROPILOT.]

Crazy thing on Phoebe Cates (beside being 19 when she began with Kevin Kline for whom she retired from acting) is that that likely every other girl cast member also was just as hot, just without a bikini scene

[@Motown..]

Greg only told 1st half of Crazy Eddie's crime story, he always seemed like just a hokey car salesman in electronic business. Master criminal

[@6RedHotMoon]

What you guys describes makes Comedy Central sound like the kharma channel

I continually have to remind myself that you guys are not making this sh't up, these are real news stories 😊

Best pod, listen to so many but I don't look forward to them like I do for Sunday morning.

[@AgendaInMind]

BIOLOGICAL CONFLICT: The biological conflict linked to the lung alveoli is a death-fright conflict because, in biological terms, the death panic is equated with not being able to breathe. The control center on the right side of the brainstem relates to “not being able to catch the air morsel”, that is, not being able to inhale. The control center on the left side of the brainstem relates to “not being able to eliminate the air morsel”, that is, not being able to exhale, for example, due to hyperventilation. A death-fright can be experienced in any life-threatening situation, for example, in the course of an accident or during a medical emergency. By far the most common death-fright conflict, however, is brought on by a diagnosis shock, particularly by a cancer diagnosis that hits a person like a death sentence. Statements by a physician such as “the cancer is malignant”, “inoperable”, “aggressive”, “invasive”, “metastasizing” or remarks like “you have six months to live” and other verdicts of this kind can evoke an acute death panic. The same holds true for a negative prognosis and test results based on medical checkups (Pap tests, PSA tests, mammograms, colonoscopies, blood tests). We also have to take into account potential self-diagnosis shocks triggered, for instance, when detecting a lump, let’s say, in the breast, when there is blood in the stool, in the urine or in the vaginal discharge, or with other symptoms associated with having cancer (“a deadly disease”). Looking for information about a particular symptom on the internet with countless websites propagating the concept of “malignant diseases” can easily activate a death-fright conflict.
