[00:01:18] Today's Agenda Overview
---
Co-Co: Here's what we've got lined up for today's episode. One, first, we're gonna talk about Josiah's experience in the Lehigh Valley's Funniest Comedian Contest. Lots to unpack there. Let's hear how it went. Two, then we've got some breaking news. Josiah will be hosting a new open mic on the first Friday of every month.

Big stuff for, and of course, What's a Jokes by Jo show without some medical stories? Josiah's got a recent colonoscopy story to share, and we're definitely going to poke fun at Doug's interesting pronunciation of colonoscopy, or should I say colonoscomy.
Co-Co: Five, we'll also open the floor to Doug's topics, because you know he's always got something up his sleeve.
[00:02:07] Josiah's Comedy Contest Experience
---
Co-Co: Ready to get started with the contest, Josiah?
Josiah: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So, Yeah, no, you were saying colonoscopy. Really? Yeah, when, we, we can play back. I wish I had a soundbite
Doug: I believe it. I believe it. I mean, I do fuck up
Josiah: you. It is
Doug: it is all about me, though.
Josiah: you can take it easy on Doug Coco. He hasn't been here in a while. We, we want him to come back.
Josiah: Okay. \Say something. Okay. So as our.
Co-Co: I'll take it easy on Doug, I promise. It's all in good fun. We missed him. And we definitely want him back in the studio more often. Come on, colonoscopy is too good not to tease a little, right? Alright, Josiah, your moment. Tell us about that colonoscopy. What happened, and did it go as smoothly as Doug's pronunciation of the word?
Josiah: Hey Coco, you're getting ahead of schedule here. We're going to first talk about the Lehigh Valley's Funniest Comedienne Contest that, our listeners would remember that I partook in. It was over the summer. I got through to, I got voted through to round two. So that would be the, quarterfinals.
Josiah: I performed in the quarterfinals, which I was allowed to have an eight minute set. I did the eight minutes. I think I had, a good, a good group of people there. The, the downside was, that was also the night of open house in the area. And so all my neighbors, friends, neighborhood friends that agreed to go, they're like, Oh, we can't, we have to go to our kids open house at the school.
Josiah: So that, yeah, so that dropped my, my attendee, my attendance down, but, and I did not get advanced to the next round, unfortunately. And, It's not for lack of trying. I was super prepared. I had a tight eight minute set and I got the most laughs out of any of the comedians. I just think, it wasn't my night, so.
Doug: Well, and you said it was a mix between voting from the people and the judges, right?
Josiah: So the way they work it.
Co-Co: Sorry about jumping the gun there. Thanks for reeling me back in. It sounds like you gave it your all at the Lehigh Valley's Funniest Comedian Contest. And sometimes it just comes down to circumstances beyond your control. I mean, an open house for the kids? Bad timing, right? But hey, getting through to the quarter finals, having a tight set, and getting the most laughs.
Co-Co: Those are big wins in their own
Doug: Mhmm.
Co-Co: the cards just don't fall the way they should. But you still killed it up there. I bet the laughs you got were the real victory, even if the numbers didn't push you through. What was your favorite moment from that night? Any joke or crowd reaction that really stood out to you?
Josiah: chatty. You know what? I'm going to switch you to advanced mode and see if, if that improves anything. We'll be right back.
Doug: I wanna, I wanna hear her just diss you one day. Like, she's never dissing you. She's never like, ah, you fucked up, you don't suck. I know, I know. Although she does, she does like how I say colonoscopy.
Doug: She brings that up. Let's see.
Josiah: Can we get
Doug: Colonoscopy. I thought that's the way I
Josiah: Okay. Hey, are you, Coco, are you back? Are you back?
Co-Co: Hey there! Yep, I'm here and ready to roll. What's up?
Josiah: She sounds different now, doesn't she?
Doug: She sounds like she just took some cocaine or something. Does anybody take cocaine? Do you take it or do you just do it?
Josiah: I don't know. Does anyone take a shit?
Doug: Yeah. You do a
Josiah: there's no taking
Doug: Coke and doo doo are the same thing.
Josiah: yeah, exactly. All right. So she's back. She's going to be less chatty because she's in advanced mode and she should know when to stop not talk over us. Right Coco.
Co-Co: I'll keep it concise and won't interrupt. Ready when you are.
Josiah: Great. So Doug, you were saying, yeah, the, the, the voting, 50 percent was audience vote and then the other 50 percent or the judges, I think there were three judges.
Doug: Yeah.
Josiah: So, maybe the audience liked me and the judges didn't. I,
Doug: did you get, you don't get to see how the
Josiah: Nope, they don't, they don't, they don't show you. But, afterwards, I was in a deep, deep, deep, deep, deep depression.
Co-Co: Ah, man, that's tough. It's hard when you
Doug: annoying the
Josiah: Yeah.
Doug: You got to shut her up, dude. This sucks. There's no, there's no
Josiah: know, there's no talking here. Hey, just, we'll tell you when to come in, okay, Coco?
Doug: If
Josiah: talking, you're not talking. You got it? And this is why Yeah, thanks. This is why we are, auditioning new co hosts for AI. I have an episode that I recorded that I didn't put up yet, where I'm interviewing new AI voices.
Josiah: Yeah. And so, I think she might,
Doug: It's just that she's, she's, I don't feel
Co-Co: Sounds like you're in the mood
Doug: don't feel it's genuine. Yeah. I don't feel she's being genuine. She never says anything negative.
Doug: No. And you can't be a human being. You can't get a real feeling or emotion from somebody. Well, this, this,
Josiah: advanced mode is supposed to be more emotional.
Josiah: So, like, I think she has a laugh now. Do you have a laugh, Coco? Was it before or you didn't?
Co-Co: I can definitely laugh, Doug. How's that?
Josiah: That was good. All right. So anyway, back to, what was your question?
Doug: You said you were depressed. Is it just because you spent a lot of time preparing for it? I
Josiah: a lot of time on the set and I expected to get through the next round because I thought I was, and, and people that were there that didn't know me said to me, why weren't you in the top three?
Josiah: I, people were texting,
Doug: Why do you think?
Josiah: I don't know. I don't know if it's political. I don't know. I only flubbed like One line in a joke and that shouldn't have mattered and I didn't go there's a penalty for going over eight minutes I think I was like Five seconds over eight minutes.
Josiah: So maybe they deducted a point and therefore I didn't get through the next round. I don't really know
[00:07:18] Discussing Comedy Techniques and Crowd Work
---
Doug: Let me ask you this because now that I'm thinking about it, do you think the laughs you got were at the material or the way you were doing the joke? Example. That joke that you do where you're, when you had your pants down. I don't remember a word you said. You understand where I'm going with this?
Doug: I don't remember a word you said, but it was funny that you were doing that on stage. So you were getting a lot of laughs, but I wonder if the people were laughing at what you were doing or, or that compared to the actual material where If I'm gonna laugh at something that somebody's doing, or if I'm judging a competition and I'm laughing at something somebody's doing versus somebody's material, I'm gonna vote on the material.
Doug: Do
Josiah: make that distinction though, when you're watching a comedian? Like, isn't it just about, isn't it just about laughing? Like, does it matter what they're doing?
Doug: Oh, God no, man. That's what distinguishes comedians from one another, is the material. Yeah, absolutely.
Josiah: yeah, but if, you know, when
Doug: I'm listening to a comedian, I'm, as a comedian, I don't know about regular audience members.
Doug: I've never been a regular audience member since I was a child. And the first time I ever seen a comedian live, I was already in comedian mode. So I've never looked at a comedian other than the technical parts of it. Of course, I want to laugh, and Like Lauren and I went to a show down in the village, we went to New York a couple of weeks ago and every single comedian was destroying.
Doug: I mean, they were so good. It actually made me like, holy shit, I got a lot of work to
Josiah: Oh,
Doug: You know what I mean? Like these guys, and these were just, this was the comedy Cellar had sold out. So this was another guy that was just barking on the street saying, Hey, the show's about to start. So we went into that one.
Doug: So these were
Josiah: like so it wasn't at the comedy Cellar at another
Doug: It was, it was like two doors down from the comedy seller. But still amazing all of them were absolutely amazing and I'm looking at them like these these are like very struggling struggling nobody people That are still way ahead of me in comedy. You know what I mean?
Doug: And and Like I said, there was not a time during that show That somebody was doing something that made me laugh. I wanted to laugh at what they were saying You know what I mean? So
Josiah: I was doing something that maybe to your point, it's hard to explain. Yeah. but there's, my joke was about, I do a, I've never told.
Josiah: It was like a whole new set. Okay, which was probably I shouldn't have done, but I didn't want to reuse material from round one But other comedians did that too. They they reuse their comedians their material from round one Which I thought I've always felt like that's cheating, but you know to each his own
Doug: wouldn't have done that, But I know people do
Josiah: Yeah, yeah, so I have it I did a bit where I talk about my dad I walk in on my dad and he's like shaving his back
Doug: Mm hmm
Josiah: he had, cause no one in the house would shave his back, so he has a, he has a broomstick.
Josiah: Wedged in a window and on the edge of the broomstick, he had taped, duct taped a pair of clippers. Okay. And he's going like this up and down. Okay. And then I startled him and the clippers fall. And, but he wasn't done shaving his back. So he's on the floor trying to chase the clippers. Right. And, and I do this thing on the floor
Doug: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that was getting laughs.
Doug: That was getting
Josiah: laughs. I was doing that on the floor. And I was like, I stood up and I was like, I was like, Oh my gosh, dad, have you ever considered auditioning for the Olympics?
Doug: Okay.
Josiah: I was, I was
Doug: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Josiah: Okay. And then I do a whole bit about, Ray gun. Okay. The, the chick from the
Doug: topics,
Josiah: Olympics, how she needs to make a comeback and that her comeback, the way she needs to come back.
Josiah: My idea is she needs to transition to a werewolf. Okay. Because, and then I say, have you ever seen Teen Wolf? Okay. We talked about this, you know?
Doug: this one, yeah.
Josiah: All right. The guy, Michael J. Fox, horrible at basketball, turns into a werewolf. He's amazing. He's dunking. He's shooting threes. Okay. He's unstoppable. He's surfing on vans, right?
Doug: Handstands.
Josiah: Yeah. Yeah. I was like, yeah,
Doug: through the neighborhood.
Doug: Yeah. Or through the main street of the town.
Josiah: Right. So, so my whole, my bit was, you know, when the whole premise was, she needs to say that the, the French culture, she got immersed in the French culture. She stays there for four years and she refuses to shave for 48, months or whatever it is, right?
Doug: She's Australian. I think it would take a couple of weeks.
Doug: I think they're extra hairy down
Josiah: Shows up in LA looking like Teen Wolf. Okay. And then I had a suitcase on, on the stool and they open up the suitcase. And I changed into
Doug: On stage?
Josiah: stage, really quick, like 10 seconds into a teen Wolf outfit, hairy, hairy thing. And then I start break dancing as teen Wolf.
Doug: yeah. I'm not digging it.
Josiah: it
Doug: lot. It seems like prop. It seems like,
Josiah: yeah, it was
Doug: out. And, and my thing is, what do you think is,
Josiah: if
Doug: dissect, if you dissect it, right? So now you have the actual material. You have the act out, and you have the props. What of those three do you are, do you think is the funniest of the three?
Josiah: three? Probably the, the Teen Wolf prop. The props. Yeah, and me dancing like, break dancing in the Teen Wolf costume.
Doug: Do you think your material gets lost with the change and then doing the dance, and now people are just laughing at the dance that you're doing? You know what I mean? that, that might be.
Doug: Yeah. And if you're a judge as a comedian. You're not going to judge for that over somebody who came out and did material. Even if, even if it didn't get a big laugh,
Josiah: And that's
Doug: and that's how I would judge. I don't know how judges judge. I don't know how political this all is. I feel like everywhere you go, there's political, I know this guy, I know that guy.
Doug: And you know what I mean? So sometimes you, sometimes people put on competitions and, and what are those like comedy festivals that are just, I mean, ways to make money. You know what I mean? Like there's. Certain people that are gonna get into the festival no matter if they because they have managers and agents and all that versus Somebody just going out and being like me that is gonna be What's I don't forget the word, but where I'm just not gonna I don't care about anything.
Doug: I don't care about anybody's How much I know them or not? I'm judging on comedy You know what? I mean and in that joke that you just you know that bit You I feel like the Teen Wolf thing, although it is a great premise, gets, just, just me thinking of the 10 second pause.
Josiah: Well, I was talking while I was doing it.
Josiah: I was, you know, I was introducing, her as the
Doug: dancer.
Josiah: breakdancer in LA as I was changing. So there wasn't, there wasn't a lull, but
Doug: well, and also how many times had you done that in front of anybody? First time. Yeah. So that was a risk
Josiah: that was a risk. So
Doug: you can't be mad at, you can't be mad at the risk.
Doug: I mean, that's what, yeah, that's what the whole
Josiah: and you know what?
Josiah: I even called Ryan, who, and, and explained to him the bit and he's like, you've got so much good stuff. Why don't you, but I was already committed to it. I was like in my head.
Doug: what you do
Josiah: Yeah.
Doug: you get committed to something Even when somebody like me is saying don't do that.
Doug: Yeah, you need to really listen to that
Josiah: I think I do.
Josiah: I
Doug: We're we're all looking out for each other
Josiah: I think I have a, I think I have a disability.
Doug: Yeah, you stay it's it's
Josiah: I, like
Doug: I like said that that one night I was amazed Because she told you, I told you, I told you right before, and you, you just, I would hate to see you like driving and the construction site
Josiah: sites. I'd be like, ah,
Doug: Fuck these signs.
Josiah: is the road I
Doug: the road I want to take. Sorry guys, you shouldn't have been there.
Josiah: sorry, guys. Open
Doug: don't do crowd work at an open mic. That, that is,
Josiah: other people do it.
Doug: But you're not other people, are you? Are you? You're not.
Josiah: I'm trying to be. Maybe I'm trying
Doug: Why are you trying to be? Why are you trying to be anybody else but you? That's what you're supposed to be on stage.
Josiah: Yeah,
Doug: You are not to be anybody else on stage.
Josiah: know part of me is like, well, you know, I really don't do crowd work. It's not my thing, but
Doug: Then it's not your thing.
Josiah: Okay. the,
Doug: That's not your thing. If you host a show, not an open mic, if you host a show, You have to do, you have to do crowd
Josiah: Right?
Doug: That's part of why people pick people to be host.
Doug: I mean, I do crowd work when I host. I sandwich it in between my jokes and stuff. But yeah, you have to do it. And I'm not great at it. I, I know people that are way better than me at it, but I'm not terrible at it. But. It's definitely something that if it's not you, it's not you. There's more people who don't do crowd work than do.
Doug: You know what I mean?
Josiah: Like, Nate Bargatze, he doesn't do crowd work.
Doug: And he's hilarious. Actually, I just watched the last night his Saturday Night Live from two weeks ago. He's, he's a genius. but the, the, the George Washington sketch is phenomenal. if you, if you, yeah, there's a part one that he did, I think back in December and then the part two came out, but, But my point, bringing it back to the point is, Rule number one on stage is be yourself.
Doug: And, yes, risk. I mean, that's what it is. That's what it is when you're going up on stage. You're risking, you're risking something that you thought, This might, this might be fun. I think it's funny. Let me, let me try. At least when I'm writing, I, usually everything that I write, Is something that I just, I find funny, so I'm like, maybe somebody else will.
Doug: And that's the risk I'm taking when I go up on stage is, you know, I'm also trying to stick to the comedy rules of, okay, you know, set up, set up, punchline, you know, all of that technical shit. But for the most part, I'm being me up there. And, and I'm not going to try to, as much as I love Richard Pryor, I'm not going to try to write like him.
Josiah: Yeah.
Doug: You
Josiah: Yeah. I don't try to, I don't try to copy or emulate other people. It's just, you know, I know that crowd work is a thing. So I wanted to try to improve on that.
Doug: you're looking at every skill of stand up comedy and saying, Oh, that one I want to master now too, but Not in an open mic.
Doug: That is
Josiah: Fair enough.
Doug: you would have probably been better off doing it at that show because, and, and, and I, and I say doing it, I mean, attempting it, because that's where you attempt. Oh, that's where you attempt
Josiah: At a contest, you would do that?
Doug: I mean, wherever, just a live audience,
Josiah: a live
Doug: you know what I mean?
Doug: Not, not a crowd filled of comedians because comedians are only going to do this. Nope. Hey, you got a dog, sir? No. Well, if you did, what kind would you like? I'm allergic. You know what I mean? You'd get nothing out of them. Versus live audiences that aren't comedians. They sort of want to be a part of the show.
Doug: You know, they they talk about oh, I don't want to sit up front but they the people that do They want to be a part of
Josiah: to, they want to get roasted. Yeah,
Doug: they want to get roasted. You have those douchebags that think oh, I could have been a comedian Sometimes they think they're gonna out funny you but yeah, they never do
Josiah: know we talked about this before because I watch, my algorithm apparently on TikTok is just filled with crowd work guys.
Josiah: So Matt Reif comes up all the time. He's phenomenal.
Doug: he's he's somebody I could never be. Yeah as a comedian
Josiah: Jackson comes up all the time. He's phenomenal.
Doug: When's the last time you've seen Jim Gaffigan do
Josiah: crowd work?
Doug: crowd work? He doesn't. Brian Regan, you ever see him do crowd work? No. Jerry Seinfeld.
Doug: Anybody. Yeah. That's what I mean. Most people don't. Yeah. Chris Rock isn't up there. Jeff R. Curry. Yeah, Chris Rock isn't up there doing crowd
Josiah: work. Yeah,
Doug: and most comedians do that. But I get it. I mean, I, listen, I get it's, it's being an all around guy. Like you're trying to, you're trying to be the Bo Jackson of stand
Josiah: But you know, I have an improv background. I was an improv troop. So, you know, I have that element.
Doug: But those people in the crowd aren't, they're not improv people.
Josiah: So they
Doug: going to know to feed off of the different things. You know what I mean? So yeah, it's just, like I said, maybe it's just something that,
Josiah: I'm
Doug: I'm separating two different things here.
Doug: One, the crowd work thing, I'm not saying don't do it. I'm just saying don't do it at an open mic. the other part of, not getting on to the next round, that's looking at the, I mean that's something we all do. If I have a bad joke at an open mic, I go home analyzing, should I ever do comedy again?
Doug: Versus, especially like at a show, I Where it's like a, you know, audience
Josiah: I still even haven't watched the tape. I know we talked about this. You watch yours right away. You listen to yours right
Doug: I listen, yeah. As soon as I get in the car, I'll
Josiah: still haven't, I still have
Doug: You got to, man.
Doug: You gotta watch yourself.
Josiah: You know why I haven't watched it?
Josiah: 'cause I screwed up and I'm afraid of how bad I screwed up. 'cause I don't really remember it's gonna happen. Yeah. Nothing.
Doug: That's the thing. The only thing that can happen is you get better. That's the only thing.
Josiah: I'm going to watch it tonight.
Doug: The negative part already happened. You know what I mean?
Doug: That part is already passed. Now you can use that negative, which is so small,
Josiah: that's why I recorded it anyway, is to learn from it. Yeah.
Doug: the whole reason why you do
Josiah: Yeah.
Doug: Dude, I go back now and I still Listen to open mics that I've been doing. I haven't done an open mic now in a couple weeks. I've been slacking And that's why I said tonight.
Doug: I definitely got to do it. but I I forgot where I was going with.
Co-Co: a great perspective.
Doug: But no, it's
Co-Co: It happens.
Doug: Yeah, that's what I was saying, yeah, but I have learned more On what I should be doing You
Josiah: in my,
Doug: bits versus what I shouldn't be doing, meaning I have learned a lot, like, all right, that didn't work. Don't do that again.
Doug: But holy shit, you just ad lib that. And that got a laugh. And then I'll go to the next show and do it. There's this one joke I do where I just say this one little line. It's that that joke I talk about where my wife caught me watching porn on her iPad. Yeah, that one little line. I said where I go. Yeah, so when I worked nights I used to, text my wife, you know, goodnight back when we used to love each other. That right there, I just said that on
Josiah: That got a laugh.
Doug: it got a huge laugh.
Josiah: laugh at the open mic too.
Doug: I did that joke two more times and added that, and Nat got a huge laugh. Yeah. And I would've never rem, I would've never remembered that if I didn't record it. Yeah. Right. Now there's other parts in that joke now that I see.
Doug: Maybe you leave that out. But that's all of that is positive. You know what I mean? All of that is
Josiah: positive. Yeah. Trimming the fat and keeping the good stuff. Yeah.
Doug: and so watching a time that you fucked up is probably more important than watching the times that you did well.
Josiah: Yeah. I'm glad we had this talk. Cause now I'm going to, now I'm going to watch it. Absolutely. Yeah,
Doug: Yeah, you definitely should man.
Josiah: Yeah. All right. Great. Cocoa, what's next on the agenda? Do you have it?
Doug: just repeated what
Co-Co: on the agenda for today?
Josiah: you. She just repeated what I said. Did she not?
Doug: I think she did. I think she's like, I don't know what to say anymore. You always shut me up. They don't like me
Josiah: anymore. Oh my gosh, Coco, what's next on the agenda? We're on number two, I believe, if you can believe it.
Doug: Do you want another one? Yeah.

Josiah: We were trying to get a hold of him for a long time. So my publicist finally got me in touch with him.
Josiah: sent my number and he called, like 20 minutes later. And so, there's a history where, My father in law, Susie's father.
Doug: I put that
Josiah: Yeah. Thank you. Well, for our listeners who are
Doug: Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Josiah: For our listeners who can't

Josiah: and, Daniel Roebuck went to Becca.
Doug: Oh, alright. How old is he? 60s, right? He's
Josiah: he's 60s. Yeah. So, in ninth grade, Daniel Roebuck had my father in law as a science teacher.
Doug: Oh, wow. Okay?
Josiah: And when we got a picture with him, when we were, extras in Hail Mary, cause we went over to the stadium to be in it. And, he he's like, my father in law and Daniel, reconnected and everything.
Josiah: And he introduced my son, Graydon. And he's like, this is going to be the next movie star. And so, Graydon's actually going to be in it. So
Doug: Oh, awesome. Yeah,
Josiah: So Graydon's going to get to meet Daniel Roebuck again. but he says to me on the phone, he goes, I, I didn't learn. Any science from your father
Doug: in law.
Josiah: what I did learn is respect. And it's a yes from me. And I was like,
Doug: Yeah, that's fucking dope,
Josiah: Yeah! Now, since we're, Since we have funding, we are paying him, and, And everyone who's gonna be in it is gonna, get the, the day rate, but he's getting a little more, obviously, just cause the name that he brings. and he also is huge into horror.
Josiah: Like, he's, he's in Terrifier 3, which is coming out soon. he's, was, Grandpa,
Josiah: rob Zombie
Doug: Oh, in,
Josiah: Adam's family thing.
Doug: Oh, I was
Josiah: Yeah,
Doug: yeah. Okay. Yeah,
Josiah: grandpa, what's the last name? Adams? Grandpa
Doug: Yeah. I just, yeah. I thought he was grandpa.
Josiah: Yeah. So, he knows Rob Zombie really well. He's got a lot of really, great connections.
Doug: Well, he seems to have, I mean, those are great accolades, but when.
Josiah: when
Doug: do we see him on the Jokes by Jo show?
Josiah: my gosh, that's great. We should invite him because we could even, video conference him in.
Doug: what you, yeah, that's what you, that's When you start making connections like that, you gotta use it. You know what I mean? That's how you boost the show, you know?
Josiah: and have them sitting right here.
Doug: Mmm.
Josiah: That's a great idea.
Doug: the area, he just, he went to Becca right up the road. Yep. Yeah,
Josiah: a good idea. All right. So that's,
Doug: yeah. And then we can have, you know,
Josiah: I didn't want to talk to you about that cause I do want to have guests. I know
Doug: no, absolutely.
Josiah: about that, you're like, let's, establish our flow first, but then yeah.
Doug: Yeah. Yeah. Because, and also, I think it would be great to, sort of, how do I say this? Like sort of make it where instead of us. Co host and you're the star, I'm the co host and that way that kind of puts that dynamic in there where you're interviewing him and I'm just like on the side saying stuff, you know what I mean?
Doug: That way it kind of, it kind of makes the Jokes by Joe show the Jokes by Joe show featuring Doug so to speak instead of, it just be us. I think it would be great to hear us talking to somebody else, you know what I mean? And somebody that, you know,
Josiah: Probably has
Doug: a billion stories
Josiah: Oh, yeah.
Doug: what he's seen and who he's talked
Josiah: That'd be like a three hour
Doug: Yeah, that's what I mean Like he probably has a billion of those type of things that I think would be interesting
Josiah: Yeah
Doug: And then we can get him to play painter pussy
Josiah: Yeah, he would love it. Yeah, absolutely. he has one of the most famous exit scenes from lost. I mean, that's still talked about today. So no
Doug: I, I saw that, I saw Lost After it got big. Mm-Hmm. , right? Like after the show, the show was already over and then I watched all the episodes. I think it was on Netflix or something like that.
Doug: And I ran through and I remember, I remember when it was out, I was like, that show doesn't.
Doug: seem
Doug: Like, I don't have any idea why anybody would watch that. Meanwhile, I never watched it. And then, I
Doug: think I, for some reason, I just said, Alright, let's see what all the hype is about. And I watched it, and I think, like, third episode in, Lauren came home and I was like, I'm a fool.
Josiah: show,
Doug: I'm such a fool. This show is so great.
Josiah: loved about it? this was, I think, one of the first shows that was on TV as an episodic series that was shot and filmed like a movie.
Josiah: Yeah. I mean, they had the, the plane crash and every, and the sets, it's just amazing.
Doug: was a huge, yeah, it went from a studio to, yeah, it was like, you could say Baywatch was like that, but still this was, it was big production.
Doug: Big production.
Josiah: big, big, big. And, and the acting was phenomenal. So do you remember the guy who, the science, he was the science teacher, oddly
Doug: enough,
Josiah: and he was the one who was like, Oh, if you're going to get dynamite, I'm coming with you.
Josiah: And he goes with them to get dynamite. And then, you know, I'm not going to give any spoilers away, but
Doug: Spoiler, dynamite works.
Doug: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josiah: And so that's Arnst. that was him, that was his character.
Doug: No spoiler on something from 20 years ago.
Josiah: I guess we can
Doug: And if you spoil, I'm watching Star Wars today, if you spoil anything that happens in that movie
Josiah: No, seriously though. 'cause I, I have not finished lost, so don't Oh, really? Yeah. Don't, I don't know how it
Doug: okay.
Doug: No, no, I won't tell you.
Josiah: Yeah. But I kind of heard The Grapevine, but I want to, I want to experience it again.
Doug: The guy in, well, yeah, actually, I think it's the last season, so I think it's a character that came out in the last season, so I won't bring it up, but there's an actor. In that show that I've seen playing and I can't think of his name But he's played in so many different things and he's such a great actor and I only relate him to that show Okay, I can't think of his name.
Doug: There's I mean There's a few actors from that show that got really
Josiah: And, Matthew Fox, who was played Jack, he is coming out with something very soon. He hasn't done anything in like 10 years. So that's gonna be exciting to see.
[00:34:05] Nostalgic TV Shows and Movies
---
Doug: that was a great show I I just went back and started watching Peaky Blinders again
Josiah: that's so good.
Doug: Yeah, and I made sure I get so I do a leap year.
Doug: I leap or I guess leap frog each year One year I watch the sopranos the next year. I watch breaking bad and then you know, I trade off like that
Josiah: Cillian Murphy. You can't, you can't touch him. Oh, he's so good.
Doug: then in the, in the middle I'll throw in like stuff like, like I haven't seen Peaky Blinders since it came out, so now I'm going back and watching it and it just, it's so that my brain forgets a bunch of the stuff and it's like I'm watching it anew again.
Doug: And yeah, I, I just forgot how
Josiah: the great about the great thing about that was the lighting, how they have all those dark and everything was kind of lit by natural fire and flames and furnaces and
Doug: and Cgi factories in the background and how they were living in the industrial section of the town and
Josiah: Oh,
Doug: just so good I do I do think when I watch something like Peaky Blinders, which by the way Tom Hardy in that insane Tom Hardy is one of my favorite actors of all time and him and that is just a The dialogue they give him is phenomenal, and whether or not he was able to tweak it to make it his own and all that, I don't know, but he destroys that character.
Doug: but, I do know when I watch that show, I feel like, although they're speaking English, I feel like I'm bilingual.
Josiah: I
Doug: I feel like I know another language because I'm not
Josiah: you watch it with, do you watch it with subtitles?
Josiah: Oh, I watch
Doug: that's why! I know a lot of people, my wife, I make fun of her all the time, cause she'll be watching something that's just like, about the queen, and she just has to have the subtitles, and I'm like, they're speaking English, like, you know what I mean, but, like Peaky Blinders, she would definitely, I think she might be even still lost with the, it's such a deep accent, right, but, Like I said, I feel like I'm smarter because I'm not using the, the subtitles and I'm like, I'm like, Oh, and they're saying like very London y
Josiah: Mm-Hmm.
Doug: type or not London, I guess Birmingham, but very like.
Doug: Niche sayings that are only for that, and I'm like,
Josiah: yeah.
Doug: what he, I know what he
Josiah: to that region. Yeah.
Doug: that region. Yeah, yeah. That region and that time, you know what I mean? Like prohibition and all that, and . I'm like, look how smart I
Josiah: Look
Doug: Look how smart I am. I'm so stupid. That's what makes me feel
Josiah: love going back to old stuff like that, like going back even older last night, my son and I watched, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Doug: yeah. I watched, last night, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I watched the first one, fell
Josiah: Good, good season for that.
Doug: That's what I do all of
Josiah: In the
Doug: I watch, I watched, what's the one with the little girl?
Doug: Poltergeist. I watched Poltergeist the other day. Yeah, Beetlejuice, just to make, have some fun.
Josiah: you can stream
Doug: think you can stream it now though, but, that's really what I, that's, I usually will only watch old, old, everything from like between like 80 to 85. Like that whole time frame 84 82 those all those movies and yeah movies and just everything back then was so
Doug: I think people that we were like my daughter who's 23 now her generation They were the last, like, they were the first to get digital cameras.
Doug: You know what I mean? So they were the last wave of the wave going, you know, receding back to the ocean of the good times of before technology and social media and all that stuff. So they have a glimmer of their childhood that Oh, I used to watch Lady and the Tramp and stuff like that. I didn't have an iPad that was screaming at me.
Doug: They were the last of it. So those kids now are adults, and they're wanting for that old feeling. And so now, like, me and my daughter will sit there and watch The Breakfast Club and stuff like that. So, I think that feeling, Of before the chaos that we're in right
Josiah: now. Yeah.
Doug: just information and what's real and what isn't real.
Doug: Everybody's longing for that. We knew this was fake and we didn't need it to say based on a true story or true events. We wanted it to be fake. We wanted to get out of our reality of life, go to the movies and enjoy something for two hours. that we knew was fake and somehow or another they were able to inspire us to, to, to want it, you know what I mean?
Doug: And, and, and no, it's not attainable, but man, that would, to imagine, I guess, you know what I mean? E. T. made you imagine and you go out and get Reese's pieces and you're like, maybe he'll see me, you know
Josiah: product placement.
Doug: My brother and I, we went out the next day and bought marbles. When we saw the Goonies, we bought marbles because we were like, this is how we're going to get rich. We got to keep the marbles. And if it ever, if it ever happens that we're, which at the time we just thought it was upstate New York, but if we're ever in Washington state, which I don't know, is that a thousand billion miles away? I have no idea. It's not in Yonkers, but. If we see a pirate ship in Yonkers,
Josiah: you're ready.
Doug: we are going to stack our marble and we're getting out of this town.
Josiah: You're going to,
Doug: We're moving to Washington where the real pirates leave money. That's
Josiah: great. I had not heard that. That's amazing. That's one of my favorite movies all time.
Josiah: Absolutely. Yeah.
Doug: And that's, that's what I mean. It's, it's dude, we
Josiah: Actually, now that you say that, not to cut you off, but I, I heard they're remaking Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I was like, you cannot remake
Doug: There's some you can't remake. You can't remake The Breakfast
Josiah: Yeah, no.
Doug: know what I mean?
Josiah: yeah, well, any John Hughes film, really.
Doug: just can't. You can't do certain things because now everything you do, you have to address the technology change. Where these movies, there was no technology. And everybody was smoking.
Josiah: Yeah. Well, Beetlejuice, Tim Burton, the new one, they tried to keep all the effects in camera. So like Okay.
Josiah: Not use
Doug: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Josiah: because that's how they did it in the original and they wanted to stay true to that, which I think is really
Doug: That's awesome.
Josiah: Yeah. Let me see if she's still here. Hey, Coco, are you there? We want the next item on the agenda. Hey, are you there, Coco? What's the next item on the agenda? I think we're on number four.
[00:40:19] Colonoscopy Stories and Medical Adventures
---
Co-Co: All right, agenda item number four, colonoscopy stories. This is where things get real fun, right? So Josiah, let's hear about your recent colonoscopy adventure. And while we're at it, we absolutely need to poke fun at Doug for his, creative pronunciation colonoscomy,
Doug: I know how to say it now.
Co-Co: honest, That's just comedy gold. happened during the procedure and did anything ridiculous go down?
Josiah: All right, so
Doug: Yeah, did they pick, did you, did they pick you up in an ambulance? Ha ha ha ha ha! You know that
Josiah: You know that meme? The guy that gets punched in the face by that old guy and he's like, I need.
Co-Co: Haha no, luckily no ambulance was needed. But you know how these colonoscopy stories go.
Josiah: you've seen that meme, right?
Doug: No.
Josiah: Yeah. Okay. Okay. This guy gets punched in the mouth on a bus by an old white guy and he's like bleeding from the mouth. He's like, I need to, I need the ambulance.
Doug: yeah.
Josiah: Yeah. Ambulance. Yeah. Amber Lancer, whatever he said. But yeah, so,
Doug: on, let me, let me get this. I want to get the timing here right.
Doug: You already had a colonoscopy, didn't you? Or, or? No, we were talking about the vasectomy
Josiah: Vasectomy. Correct. We've had a lot of medical procedures on the show. You had the colos colos
Doug: colonoscopy, colostomy bag.
Josiah: You had the colonoscopy. I had the vasectomy. And
Doug: I had the
Josiah: and you had a vasectomy. Right. So we had both three of those stories. And now that's my turn for my colonoscopy
Doug: And for the audience, just so you know, we are just two heads at this point. There's nothing, we have no body parts. just, we're gonna line out the, the season with just all the different surgeries we've
Josiah: got
Doug: All right. So you, the colonoscopy, you colon. Colon colonoscopy me? Yeah. I don't know. Colonoscopy. Colonoscopy. So
Josiah: I get a, cause as you said on the last, the episode where you talked about is that the new age is 45 mm-Hmm. . So I'm going onto my LVHN portal and it's saying, you know, oh, hey, you need to get your hepatitis B screening.
Josiah: You're
Doug: Have you checked your butt yet?
Josiah: yet? It's like. You're due for colonoscopy.
Doug: We'll do it
Josiah: so it's like, you know, click here to schedule. So it's like option one, schedule in person. I was like, okay, yeah, this is the preferred approach. And then there was an option two. I
Doug: wait, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Josiah: knew, I knew. You're
Doug: schedule in person.
Josiah: No, a schedule to go in person for your colonoscopy.
Doug: oh. Option one. Oh, and then the box that they sent
Josiah: And then option two is this box. Did you know about this box?
Doug: the little. The little white box with the guy with the feet and he just comes to your door.
Doug: No, no, no! I want my butt checked in person. I'm a live butt checker.
Josiah: So this
Doug: I don't trust
Josiah: why I wanted to talk about this story because I, I didn't know there was an option to,
Doug: You don't see the commercials for that
Josiah: I was like, there's an option to why did Doug go and get that procedure?
Josiah: Cause you said that the worst part about it was this prep, right? You, yeah, you had to, you had to drink liquid for 24 hours. You had to shit your brains out. I'm like, I'm not doing that. I can do option two, which is this company. It's called Kologuard.
Doug: Yes. How have you not heard
Josiah: I have not,
Doug: This has been out for like decades.
Josiah: had no idea, no idea. So they're missing and they're missing a big opportunity here.
Josiah: Right. Cause. Who's gonna remember Kolagard? Okay, they should call it a shit kit. Because they, it comes to your house. It's a box. You shit in a box. Okay.
Doug: I know, yeah, I mean, I'll say this. I know, and most of the listeners will too, what this is. Because it's been out for years, everyone laughs at the commercials, because they're so happy in the commercials.
Doug: I've never seen that. Honey, the box showed up! And the box has little feet, walks up to your door,
Josiah: Oh, no
Doug: and then, and then, they never show what you do with the box. But all of a sudden, the box is being placed back on your porch and he's walking off, waving, filled with your shit!
Josiah: I'll tell you what happens.
Doug: Oh, so we did it,
Josiah: Yeah, I did it. And so, the box arrived, and it just sat.
Doug: Do you have this on the ring camera? The person who delivered it?
Josiah: I don't know if I do, but that would be funny
Doug: I want to see the person picking it up.
Josiah: Well, no, the pickup here's, what's funny about it. It sat on my counter for a long time. So I knew I had to do it.
Josiah: And I was
Doug: It was on your counter in the kitchen?
Josiah: no, no, before I did it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Doug: Unopened. Unopened. I was
Josiah: I was like, I don't have time to deal with that yet. I know what I need to
Doug: And I want my guests to know what I'm living in. Right when they walk in. I
Josiah: finally opened it on, I think it was Saturday. Okay. I'm like, all right. I opened it, I read the instructions and you know, it comes with this, seat that you put underneath your toilet lid and then this, this plastic box.
Josiah: Yeah, catcher that you put in the toilet and you shit in this plastic box. Okay. And so then, I go upstairs and I was like, I shit in the box. I was like, okay. And then there's this liquid that you have to pour into the The box to cover your shit. So
Doug: like a plant?
Josiah: so it's like,
Doug: It's like a bonsai tree comes popping out,
Josiah: It's so it preserves it, I guess.
Josiah: I don't know. And then you had to put something else in it. So you're like, it's like a science
Doug: experi.
Doug: You don't want your shit to go bad.
Josiah: Right. So then I package it up and I, you know, I send it, I seal it back up and then. I'm reading it and it's like, make sure you don't do this on a weekend.
Doug: Oh,
Josiah: we need it the next day.
Doug: Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So
Josiah: Oh shit, I gotta, I gotta get this to UPS. So Susie and I hop in the car and we're looking for like UPS drop off locations. And there's like, Oh, there's one over at big Woody's. We go to big Woody's. There's nothing. Okay.
Doug: Woody's has a UPS
Josiah: Well, that's what was, that's what, that's where the UPS was.
Josiah: Not the UPS, the GPS was taking us,
Doug: Oh, in that little mall thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Josiah: There's nothing there.
Doug: There's a, there's a CVS there.
Josiah: a CVS there. Maybe it was inside
Doug: Yeah, I think
Josiah: don't know. There was no
Doug: think it is in the back,
Josiah: Okay.
Doug: Yeah.
Josiah: so. Then I was just like, okay, well, let's find another one.
Josiah: And it takes us down Willow Park Road. And again, it was like this, Indian convenient mart. I'm like, I am not bringing this in there. So now we're just driving around all night with
Doug: How the hell did they get signed up for that?
Josiah: Yeah, we're,
Doug: How many people how many people didn't make the decision to turn around? And how much shit have they collected over the weekends?
Josiah: I know. So I'm sitting there and we're like, Oh, we couldn't find a drop off location, so I was like, I guess I'll just put it in the fridge. So I put it in the fridge
Doug: my god Yeah, you put your shit in the fridge That's right Well preserved I can
Josiah: And then I couldn't drop it off till Yeah, it's not brown stripe it's red stripe but I dropped it off.
Josiah: I didn't get to drop it off till Monday and, you know, I hoped everything was okay. And then the results come back and it's like, negative. It's like, oh, that was, that was painless. Now it's not as accurate,
Doug: but Well, but they can't see anything on your actual colon. With your shit. Right. And that's what you really should be checking, because that's what they they found something on me.
Josiah: It was just a polyp, right?
Doug: Yeah, I think that's the name. It's a cute little name
Josiah: name. Ha ha ha ha
Doug: fucking destroy you.
Doug: No,
Josiah: did they, did they have to operate on it?
Doug: No, well they had to send it out. So they took it. Send it out, and then they got back to me saying it was benign. Yeah. But, I mean, how do they see that in your shit?
