I recently went to visit my buddy Phil in Ontario a little while ago and he was like oh yeah just come over stay at my place. You know and I was like buddy love ya but probably not gonna do that. So I ended up booking an Airbnb in like the village of Chippewa, right on the well land, I believe, canal. And yeah, it was awesome. I had like, there's like a little dock, there were big windows, the whole nature meets city vibe. It was perfect.

By day three, Phil was like, can I crash here? And I was like, no, you have a home. But he did. And that's really when it hit me that someone had to be hosting this place that they weren't even there, but they're making money while we're just sitting out on the dock drinking coffee, watching geese, having a good laugh with each other. So if you've got the space,

it's a practical way to earn some extra cash to go towards whatever. Car payments, cat food, groceries, whatever, without it taking over your life. It's flexible, it's on your schedule, and it works around your lifestyle. Whether you're at home or you're off visiting your own fill in another city. So if you've ever thought about hosting your own place, this is your sign. Your home might be worth more than you think.

I'm Gareth Reynolds and I've never seen it before and neither is our guest this week. The Great Mike O'Brien. Hi guys. Great.

Thanks for having me. Mike, it is a pleasure. It's been a long time, but it's good to see you in the podcast world. You have a podcast with Brad Morris. That's right. Business Trips. to see you in the podcast world. You have a podcast with Brad Morris. That's right. Business trips. Yep. Everyone check it out. There's 18 of them out already. And it's improvised. We have fun guests. The one among the ones out there's Vanessa Bayer, Beck Bennett. Great. And then we're going to start releasing new ones, which will include, um, let's see, Lisa Gilroy, Fred Armisen, lots of good people.

Uh, ha. Yeah. All right. Yeah. It's fine. It's just a take. I got a bunch of hay in me. I haven't heard of any of those people.

Yeah, no, no, that's great. They, they all turned out real nice. Comedy network. That's right. I'm a proud ATC guy. Yeah. We're, we're ATC people. And you and I used to open for Steve Byrne, which means we used to do the dance on an audience member bit at the end. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yep. Still do it. I do it on my

own shows now. I've sort of taken it. Really? No, no, no. That'd be amazing. I think that's pretty- It's allowed. Pretty much burns. I was inspired by it. Okay. It's different. Okay.

Well, when we were doing that, because you had really not done, you had kind of, I think you'd been, you weren't off SNL for that long, but you were just starting to do it and you were so immediately good at it. And then you sold AP Bio and then you were like, I'll actually be really successful instead. And that was an interesting choice. It's a strange decision you made. Yeah. During that whole thing, I thought you meant I was good at the male dancing. That's what I meant. I don't think I was. That's all I've ever heard about you. Yeah, you were so good at dancing.

That's all Gareth says about you. Immediately good. A lot of people think. Well, look, you've produced a lot of stuff and yeah, that's great. But man, you really danced at the end of Steve Burns' show as well, man. Never, never comfortable. Always finding reasons to be like, I don't know, Steve, I'm kind of sick tonight. Kind of sick after doing stand up. I'm a little too sick for the stage tonight, to be honest with you.

Yeah, it seemed like you were fine a minute ago. I caught it during your set, whatever it was. It's going around during your set. Everyone was catching it. Well, Mike, thank you for being here. We're excited to have Brad on and everyone should go check out Business Trips. We're going to go through an old newspaper and I think when we say that, people go, that's not exciting. It's exciting because we said so. So you get to guess what year this paper is going to be from with, stop. Dave, stop every facial expression. That's the magic that we do here. You get to guess what year this paper is from. I'll also guess you'll probably win because Dave is passive aggressively not letting me

win this anymore. We have a new wrinkle. If you don't guess it, we don't do the podcast. Okay. Right. And you have to get the exact year? Yeah. But it could be could be 1700s 1800s could be 1900s. We had one in the 2000s but it's I would favor

1800s 1900s if I were you. Okay. Any year Mike, just a year. Oh do I guess it now? Yeah yeah. Oh I thought you could. Yeah yeah. I thought you could hear like. No you can absolutely know. President Roosevelt. Well, do you want to do do you want to do a headline from it, Dave? That doesn't give away too much. I will give a hint. OK. There was a president. Interesting. 1912. So it's not now. Damn. 1912 is good.

And I like it a lot. I really do. Well, thank you guys for having me. Yeah, of course, thanks for coming by. Yeah, take care bud, good luck with everything. I'm gonna guess 1881. You're wrong. Mike is closer, it is 1900, so congratulations. Now that's a legitimate win, Mike.

But even if I won, you would win, but that's a legitimate win closer, but even if even if I won you would win but that's a legit win so good well, it depends on what is you know, what are the You know every week is different. It could be the metrics been the number No, can we the vibe? Definitely seems like a thing that like hearing a couple headlines would affect the guessing but it's... Now we don't need... I get it. Dave, I think it's a great way to do it. Dave, I think it's a great way to do it if you want to... We don't need, you know, keep your producing stuff in your own... Dave, I think it was a great way to do it that way. I think you got you heard I

Really respect so much about you even outside of the way you orchestrated that yelling David Dave retake Dave look at my text. Look at my texts. Mm-hmm. It's sending you a bunch of tech I'm good. Yeah, fuck. All right, let's start. Jesus Christ. I'm good. Okay. Did I say, I didn't say what it is. It's the Kalespel B or Cali spell. I never heard of this town. You're from Kalespel, right Mike? Yeah, I grew up in Cali.

It is Cali spell. It is Cali spell, okay. Yeah, yeah. We like to cater it to each guest. You can any any of the problems we're having, you can maybe fill in some of the issues. So you grew up there. Was it nice growing up in that state? Yeah, it's a you know, it's a big state.

I'll give it that. Yeah, the shape of the state is the only state that's changed. That's they got a different. You like being you like being from that area of the country. Uh huh. It's cool. Yeah. Shout out to all my family spell bees. And you guys were into what you what's the first headline Dave? Do you have horses or what you have?

He had horses. What's the first headline, Dave? Did you have horses or what did you have? He had horses. What's the first headline? It's the Cali spell as Mike says Montana, June 15th, 1900. The first headline is Friday, June 15th, 1900. So had I done that, it would have been terrible for the guessing game. That's true. Maybe not bad. You don't have to go with the first one.

You could have gone with like the third or something. Unless that's every headline. Unless this is just some editors dissented to total madness. Just run the date again. Run the date. We leave you with the date. And look, the last few papers haven't been selling well. Every day's the date.

Give them the date. This is what they want. And then say the date again. Say it again. Say the date. All the ads's the date. Give them the date. That's what they want. And then say the date again. Say it again. Say the date. All the ads are the date. Oh, Gareth, my glasses. Remember the glasses I lost on tour?

Yeah. The new ones are ready, although I just found them yesterday. The ones that I lost on tour. Mike, the search for these glasses was just, I'm texting the staff at this theater in San Francisco, hey, anything turned up? Do you think the janitors might know all this to just find out? Where the fuck were they? Well, they were in pieces, first of all.

It was in three pieces, but I was in the bottom of a bag That's why I didn't find them because they were okay. You'd shattered them slowly smaller than they usually are You think a janitor got into your bag? It's not crazy. That's the guess tell you what it's not in there crazy That there will be vengeance. All right, it's a fine theory It is customary for a new aspirant for public favor in the newspaper field to make known with its first issue its business and Political policy. So it this is the first this is the first

edition of the of the paper You know, I I have a theory that people from the past were way dumber than we are now But that this person sounds pretty smart. I didn't know a lot of that No, it's good to peel back the curtain of the newspaper business for those who like because I think a lot of people want to Escape when they read the newspaper, but a lot of us are curious. How's the sausage made? So that's right It's kind of nice to hear the process a little bit The custom is a good one. It avoids the possibility of future misunderstandings So you tell the people what you do and then someone's not picking up a Democratic paper expecting Republican news, right?

Wig this is probably a paper. Yeah, definitely It lets people know what to expect and enables them to judge of the propriety or policy of extending moral and financial encouragement. So this is just sort of this really is like a set of directions on how to make a paper. Is he supposed to be printing this? It feels like you're telling you lighting a fire on your competitors' asses. Some people don't know they pick up a paper and they're like what the fuck is this? Yeah, right? This is the second page and this will be a little less important than the first but still super cool

So just to let you know Okay, so right off the bat the B will be first of all a newspaper Yikes. Feels like, you know, we could, yeah. Yeah, if you're holding one and got to sentence four, you got that part already. Yeah. If I were the network, I would be like, we can get to it. We can get to it.

It's a trip. We get it. Yeah, it's a trip. It expects to give the people of Northwestern, Montana more and fresher news for the price asked than they have ever had before. Now that is not catchy. Then the price asked them. They've never had before. They've never had to. We got a slogan. Now we make the paper around it.

Democracy dies in darkness a price that they will have never paid before. Asked asked have been asked to pay before. As fast as arrangements can be made, the B will have correspondents in every part of the country who will be expected to do the full justice to the various sections they represent. Sure. All right. In short, the Calisbell B will endeavor to give full value. Short is not how you start any of this.

And I've cut some of this out. Yeah, I've cut some of this out already. Fuck me. And when it fails to do this, it will not expect the patronage of people who look to get value for what they pay out. This is starting to take on like a riddle cadence. It's a crazy person for sure.

By the way, the date was the easiest part of this whole thing so far. The BS started with the purpose of going ahead, not standing still. It will give its readers such a newspaper as they are willing to pay for, but it is not in a position to give something for nothing. In this office will be found a printing plant equal to that of any country newspaper in Montana. Call in and see them. If you know anything about printing plants, it will do you good to look over this outfit.

All right, so we got a, we learned a little bit about what's coming. It's going to be a newspaper. Yeah. And it's going to cost a little money. Yes. And the reason it's going to cost money is because they bought a big printing thing. Yep. And he's pretty he's pretty pissed off about the whole thing.

It's really not. Yeah. It's not a labor of love. This is like I'll show you Janet. It sounds like he might have come from another town where he set up a paper and everyone was like, what is happening? Oh, fuck. I'm out of here.

When I free. When I first got hired to write at SNL, I didn't really know what joke writing was. Like I had come from Chicago improv and I was, you know, knew how to do a sketch sort of, but not really like update jokes. And they'd always tell new writers if you don't get something on like, write 10 update jokes. And I was like, I don't know what those look like really. And then I was watching Seth and I was like, it seems like it's just a lot of similes. You get some headline and then, you know, Obama's trying to pass the healthcare.

And then you say, that's like when my wife tries to convince me to eat vegetables. So I just would write like 10 of those every week. But this was reminding me that I almost did. I was like, this sounds like a guy on his first date saying all the problems he's had got in the relationship or something. And I'm like, oh, God, that's my bad weekend update. By the way, we'll take it. We'll take the scraps of SNL on the show. No problem.

Yeah, we'll take it. That is so funny to start on that show and be like, all right, now how do you write jokes? How does this, what's this whole idea for? What is the show really? I've never seen it. Honestly, breaking down, just having those headlines in front of you is intimidating. If you haven't done a lot of standup or something, it just says something like, the oldest man in the world died, and you're like, I don't have a second half for that. That's impossible. It's already pretty good.

Yeah, it's fine. I think just turn these back in. Maybe this isn't an accent. That's pretty much what my stand up is. You just keep saying. I'll just say it in an accent. Repeat it in an accent. Explosion of dynamite. Now we're fucking talking that that should have.

You lead with that now without question. What is a newspaper without question? This is this is this is your opener. What you read is how you end it to be like, if you're bored, here's some. Is what I thought. Hey, a terrible accident occurred today at the hail mine three miles from here in which five men were instantly killed by an explosion of dynamite Hail mine What hail mine they're getting a Hale Hale? Hail mine still not helping me a ton if I'm being honest. Oh, Tony. Hail. Oh, okay

like Tony Hail mine still not helping me a ton if I'm being honest. Oh Tony. Hail. Oh, okay like Tony Gesture e performers. Okay. That's right. That's right. Okay, but they're mining gold. They just do it Tony. Hail. They are mining gold So five died Yeah, anyway, so five men are dead anyway. Anyway, that would be a good SNL one. Anyway, they all died if you just kept pitching that every time. Yeah, it could be fun.

They all died. You see? Yeah. Anyway, anyway, anyway, it's good. It could end the sketches. Just have everybody died. Yeah. What's Seth to really hit the anyway? And the sketch is just. Anyways, underlined. Yeah. What's that to really hit the anyway? Gas explosion. This is Alberta. It was taking so long.

What the fuck? An explosion of gas occurred in the Canmore coal mine today, killing eight and injuring seven. Jesus Christ. Unrelated mining explosions. And and I mean, to get there, you really had to sift through some just weird, like a diary. Yeah, everyone is reading the diary going like, is he going to talk about the fact that our whole town blew up? There's been nine explosions in different mines today. When do we get to it? Minor killed PC down, a minor was instantly killed by an explosion

of giant powder in the gangnam mine. Ah, the that's the Korean guy. Yeah, yeah. Si. Yeah, right. Wow. I thought here I was thinking I might be alone. And holy fuck. Talking about side there. It's like that side. But that I might be alone and holy fuck. Talking about Psy there. You're talking about Psy.

That guy had a very, there'll be blood name too. What was it? PC Dunham or something? This is when everyone was initials. It was only initials. That was all you were legally allowed. Yeah. But yeah, he had a, what was he in?

There was blood, HW? Yeah, I think he was. Oh, he was Daniel Plainview. And his son was maybe HW or something. HW, yeah, right, yeah. It's not funny, but it's interesting. It's just a fact. It's just kind of an interesting, now Mike, you bring the joke on that. How, make that funny now. Sounds Sounds like like when my wife goes by her initials. Anyways, why is anyways underlined here? British accent. Sounds like my wife goes by to me. It's better. See? How about German accent? It sounds like when my wife goes by. Pretty good.

I like British better. I like the British. Well, we're not here to do that part of this. France. It sounds like when my wife goes by, but I'm worried you're going to start. I don't know. I'm going to stop it now. I like that it wasn't French.

It was France. It was French. It is France. It's France. It's France. Deux France. Deux France now. Why do you want him to do a Canadian French accent? I wanted it to be very. Right.

He knows I can really get into the minutiae. Quebecois. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Quebecois. Marriages invalid. Jeff, just go judge Beecher today, rendered an important opinion in which he holds that marriages

between divorce purses in the state consummated within one month after the decree of divorce has been granted are invalid, and that in the eye of the law, such persons are unmarried. Consummated? Like, okay. So that consummated, as far as I'm... It throws me off. Yeah, because that that test means banging,

but I don't know if that's what they're talking about. It feels that's, I mean, that's the only one I know, but it feels like what they're saying is if you got married a month after your divorce and fucked, no. But if you don't fuck, then yeah? I mean, that's kind of what it's... Oh, no, they're saying if they get married... What if Dave was just making this whole thing up and it was just like his December... After this this Dave tells me he's leaving the business. Can't do this anymore. This paper didn't even exist.

No one blew up. Nobody blew up. That's their city. Okay. They're saying if you get, basically if you get married. A second time. Within a month after getting divorced, then that divorce is invalid. No, then the marriage is invalid.

The new one. Oh yeah, sorry, right, sorry, then they're not married. It'd be great if the divorce was invalid. Well, now you're married to the woman you divorced together. You're back to being married. Unfortunately, you really fucked up. Not only are you not married to her, you and your ex are back together. Our laws are a little different out here in the country.

Over 1300 California couples have been married at Reno since the enactment of the law. Oh, so now people are running to Reno to get married, which is a great place to get married. It's so beautiful. Oh, God, it's beautiful. But what is it? Just about the one month thing that you they're like wait a little while

Yeah, they're like come on. Yeah, I'm kind of with them on that It's a I mean, I wouldn't make it invalid But it does seem odd that so many people would it's rare to get divorced and then remarried within 30 days well, Mike now you're taking shots at my dad and and then remarried within 30 days. Well, Mike, now you're taking shots at my dad and that's... I'll be really up front with you. That's not okay. Okay. We're not going to dip into that because I'll tell you what, it worked out fine for everybody. Okay. So it's actually the best way to do it. Pretty quick. Might I suggest having a baby in that first year? That works out pretty good, too, by the by. Okay. We're going to think. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Oh, boy. Little high. I wish that. Weird, huh? Boy, I wish this law was around when I was 14 years old. Holy fuck. But that's a great age for that to happen. Yeah.

No, it's just, I had no notes on that. That one thing I thanked them both for was like, look, what I will say is you timed it out right. And I do appreciate that. Right now I'm looking for something like this. Junior high is a little tough, but you guys are making it easier with this whole brand new sibling. Now I have something that the people at school

want to talk about, which is cool, because this feels cool. I love the energy around this. Mike, do you know what a divorce colony is? No, it sounds so bad. It's an FX show. Back then. And I think it was still going, I think it was still going on at this time. Um, you couldn't get divorced in a lot of places. So people, they were like divorced

destinations where you would go, you'd have to live like three months and then you could get a divorce. So it was like a way for Vegas and Denver and places like that to attract people to spend money and help the economy. So this probably what's going on and then because sometimes you would bring your new bride out and she just wait for you to get the divorce and then you'd come back. Yeah. Cleveland married or whatever. As someone who finds Even Love Island too trashy to watch, I would watch a show about that, about the three months of waiting between couples who are done. Yeah.

Divorce that. Yeah. Divorce call it to be amazing. Yeah. Probably really good sex, I imagine. Because they're kind of just done, but they're like, but you have to still be around each other. Well, you would also probably find that like,

you're starting, some of them would start to fall back in love a little bit. Right. Or at least like they'd be miked up and there'd be, you know, there'd be stuff. It'd be a good show. Miked up? Yeah, miked up.

It would also be a great place to be a single dude. I don't know if that works for all the divorcees. I know you have a single guy in there. Maybe like a gardener. Maybe I gardener. Just a guy with a horse cock. In the writers room of AP Biomike was it. It was this but more similes.

Because that's what you demanded. Yeah, I was like, guys, I need jokes. Guys, hard jokes. What's it like? Should be a relationship thing. Come on Be the greatest the simile writers room, what's it like Every note on the script. I like it, but it's not

Means slapping a chalkboard. What's it like? What's it like? Come on. Related to something. I'll start it off. That's like when, go, go, go. Come on, come on, you, what's it like? When you lick a frog? You're out of the room, we sent you home yesterday. There was a reason why, get out. There's the one guy who just keeps pitching the same. It's like licking a frog.

The following dispatch from Deadwood, North Dakota, will be read with interest. Deadwood was real. Yeah. By many people of Kalispell who knew Coventry

when he was a resident of this town several years ago. He was not particularly prosperous. The eldest daughter of Otto Grantz, the owner of the million dollar mine north of Lead, was married yesterday after to Henry Cometree of Lead. The city of Lead. What else are you gonna call it? How are the people of Lead doing?

They seem very ill. Quite an infirmed area. I don't know what's going on. Well, we left lead and we went right to mercury. We were just so sick of whatever was happening. Did you notice the headlines don't have nouns? They don't say, they just go, made it big or whatever.

Yeah, they do. Find out below who or where it's, it's really, it's really, they're just like, want to know the noun. Keep writing. Hey, pay for the paper, pay for the setup, get the noun. An hour before the ceremony, the groom was arrested for practicing medicine without a license. By the way, that was legal then. Stop. Yeah. That was okay.

Yeah. You could try to fix people. It's like mainly, aren't we not in the era of where being a doctor was just sort of like being like a race car? You were just like, I do it. I think that it ended very recently before this. Very recently. Wait, but that's how you become a race car. You were just like, I do it. I think that I think that it ended very recently before this very recently. But that's how you become a race car driver.

You just say you notice I cut myself off before I got it all out for a reason. You know, honestly, when I started thinking, I was like, you are simply just thinking of the days of thunder. And that's not the regular story. I want to be a race car driver. Isn't that more comedians? You do one open mic you're like I'm a comedian. Well I mean you know that's how Mike and I started. Yeah stop. There's a woman at my dog park who's a recently retired accountant who

now just is like I'm a stand-up now and she does a lot of classes. Did you guys ever do classes growing up? Not for stand-up, no. And I'm always fascinated by these classes and I'm like what did he do in class today? Because it seems like a little bit, I was going to say a scam scam but and I don't know if she'll listen to this but you know it's something out it's at least practicing and having other people give feedback I guess but it's a little that I don't want to ask how much there because that would make me worry $7,000 it'll make you sad it will make you sad it will be way. I think the only real benefit is that you're in a

warm room for like your first 20 sets and then when you do your first show show it's like you're all putting on a play together you know but either way at some point you're going to go to an open mic and want to eat poison right and that's when you're really going to be like oh fuck. That's the first real feedback. Yeah that's where you're like oh no is like, oh, fuck. That's the first real feedback. Yeah, that's where you're like, oh, no, is that the dog? Yeah, he's growling at a person walking by to be I'm on the dog side, 100 percent. Interesting. Interesting. Keep an eye on whoever that is. Yeah. Yeah, he does not.

It does not care for it, does he? Good. Good. How many people has he killed? He's killed four thieves. And so this woman is about to take a left and try to Jimmy my door open she's gone You can find out I didn't know people were still Jimmy. That's all yeah. Yeah, another Jimmy. That's like No more. Christ. And then you get into like a vicious cycle where every time he says that,

the other guy has to say, and that's like ordering the same lunch every day. And that's like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Simile hell. Doctor was stuck in a simile loop. Okay, so his bond was placed at $250, which was furnished by the father of the bride, and the wedding went on. The couple started for a year's trip through Scotland.

The Duke claims connection with the Duke of Coventry of Scotland. This guy's just a liar. He says he's a doctor. He's related to a Duke. Yeah, this guy's a comment. She married a comment. Yeah.

Yeah. So much easier. So much easier. He's the music man. He's he's kind of yeah, it's like the shipment of trumpets is coming tomorrow. Keep waiting. From the Duke. Is that what that plot is?

He just says they're coming soon. I think so. Is a if you ask me what a music a plot is for a musical, I have no idea. I think you loved Hamilton, though. Dave's a big hand. Oh, I loved. Oh, so great. So great. We watched Hamilton to raise money for a charity

like three years ago. I watched it with Dave and it was genuine hell for him. I mean. I hated it and I'm the only one who. No you're not. No, there's a lot of us. It's very, you have to keep it pretty quiet. Like speaking of a writer's room,

like the AP Bio writer's room was so mad that I didn't like it. And first, I just didn't like the idea of it. I was like, well, it's like rapping about, you know, presidents, and that's, that's not cool. But um, then they they bought me a ticket to go as like the end of the year gift. And I was very, I was like, I'm gonna they were fucking they were sure it was gonna flip you, right? Yeah, Yeah. And I kind of thought so, too, because any time you see an actual production of anything,

it's like, wow, this whole stage turned or something. And I don't think the stage turned and they did just rap about like old stuff. And I was able to report back. Be like, I was right. I was right before. Well, we did. Dave was so pissed because Hamilton is not the awesome figure as portrayed. Like Dave's like, he's a such a piece. He's like, Burr's great.

Burr was great. Like, and I was, everyone was like, buddy, shut the fuck up. Like, we're doing the Hamilton thing. And then, and then Maddie did a three-parter, I think a three-parter on Hamilton thing. And then and then, man, he did a three parter. I think a three parter on Hamilton and you are and on Burr. I did. I was fully on Burr. He was fully like Burr was the one.

And you were like, man, Hamilton sucked. It's so crazy. But not like one of the first guys who was like, yeah, women have equal rights. And like, you know, he was like that guy. I did not think you would dislike it because you thought Burr was getting the short end of the stick. It's classic. There are many reasons. There are many reasons I dislike it. I dislike all musicals.

I can't stand them. Well, you're right. The wrapping at the beginning, I watched it over the 2020 or whatever. And I would think I was just starved for anything because I was just getting drunk alone. I was like, this is good. And then on the rewatch, I was like, what was I going through to be like, yes. There is one part where I laughed out loud

because it was... I love that. The son dies and he used to practice French, run around practicing French, and the mom scream cries counting to 10 in France and says, cut, stand, no, or something. And I was like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, front row. Ah! Counting to 10. Stupid.

Stupid. Oh, fuck. Oh, shit. Anyway. Great president. All right. Great president. Sandy Tenbrook is the proud possessor of a young alligator about 10 inches long, which

he received on Monday from Florida. Of course, I like how that still tracks. Lord, yeah, sure. That's been going for a while. I like that. Is they? Yeah. The least curious part of it for me was what day she got it. It's just that she has it in Montana.

Oh, she got it Monday. Yeah. Yeah. And imagine that to start your week Montana. Oh, she got it Monday. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, imagine that to start your week off. That's crazy. I had a way different Monday. Yeah, Monday. Well, Mondays are known for being pretty boring.

Not hers, Mike. I think the best thing about Mike's assumption is that a woman would be a professor at this point in time. Sandy has christened his alligator, Senator Clark, and has further carried out the idea by keeping it in a soup tureen. A soup tureen? Yeah.

Like a big bowl? Do we know what that is? Yeah. I think it's like a big bowl, yeah. Okay. Interesting. But again, there's a lot of stuff there that we don't know what they're talking about.

We don't know who Senator Clark is. So the joke is missed. I think the clear part that matters is that she got an alligator. He. It's a he, yeah. Like, you're not allowed to correct me on that. Quit misgendering Sandy. No, no, no.

I think that's a guy. Think about it. But I mean that thing, don't they need like lots of water famously? And I think there's water in Montana. It's cold though. I think they like warm water. I don't think they like really cold water. I don't like snow. So that's gonna be a problem.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,'s not a term I've heard of snow. By the way, how fucking awesome would that be? Can we get that going? I bet it's a sci-fi movie already, like when they used to make those films. You still see Dave, I don't mean to give you notes, but you start this paper off with those explosions and a snow gator? Hey, I'm liking what I'm hearing.

All right? Pretty good. You're talking Hamilton numbers. They're all black and gray. I picture them black and gray and they're like fast. They can go across the top of the snow. That'd be a good idea. You just see eyes kind of pop out from a snowbank a little bit. You're like, oh, snow gator.

I like coming up with new animals. We were laughing about in Gremlins that they're like, for the first 10 minutes of the movie, people have to keep seeing a new animal basically. They're like, oh my God, what is that? It's like a new animal. By the halfway point, new people are seeing them for the first time, but they aren't surprised anymore. That is so funny. People are like, anyway, how's Gizmo? Yeah, it's pretty cool. Do you see the game?

Yeah. That new talking bear. That's so fucking funny. Oh, this is why you shouldn't watch movies with writers. Oh, for real. That's kind of stuff. My wife would just be like, you can't talk. No, I just literally when I'm with a normie and we call you normies, but when I'm with a normie watching a movie, all the time I'm just sitting there. I just do a lot of this. I don't think they developed that character in the right direction.

Yeah. Or I do this one. They clearly drop a scene from this movie right there? Yeah. You know what? This is what I do. ADR. I do a lot of that. That's ADR. Here, I'll show you.

Rewind it. Look how we can't see his mouth. Can't see his mouth. See how his head's not moving to what he's saying. ADR. Who mixed this? Can you look up who mixed this? Hit pause.

Does Prime tell you the mixer or just the actors? John Fogarty. Wow. He was back then. He was- He's so good. Yeah. John Fogarty, a miner,

fell 45 feet in the Never Sweat Mine in Butte, Saturday and was instantly killed. Jesus Christ. Just a brutal life of mining. Yeah, just mine deaths. I feel like mines are like hard enough to deal with as it is, but you probably shouldn't have 45 foot holes in them. Yeah, but that's what they are.

Isn't that the hole? Well, it doesn't have to go down. I believe it does. So there's an elevator that goes down. that's the mine? Well, it doesn't have to go down. It can go sideways. I believe it does. Or there's an elevator if it goes down. There's not just a hole. I believe it. Dave, I don't know a lot, and I famously know very little, but I think a big part of the

mine is the hole that goes down. I think it's a hole. I've been in mines, and a lot of the mines go sideways, but if you go down. You went on a cave tour. You didn't go mining. I've been in the Darwin Quadrangle. Don't start with me. But.

What just happened? That's fucking super awkward. Okay. All right, doctor. In the quadrangle. Well, yeah, what did I tell you? Don't make me tell you about a gypsum mine in the Darwin Quadrangle.

What are you doing? Have you just been sittingpsum mine in the door Darwin. What are you doing? I have you just been sitting up What? Ways all the mines in the quadrangle go sideways like everyone of them up You're going up the mine ends in the sky. You're in God's country by the end What is it? What is what did you just say? It's a place where there were a lot of minerals mined at one point in California So there's a lot of abandoned out there and I've been in the mines. Yeah, I've gone within there a little bit Yeah, right now you're acting like your best friends with Matthew McConaughey and you're proving it, but you're talking about going into a mine

Yes, I've got it. Yes Man has gone into a mine good simile a man I've got it. Yes. I actually man has gone into a mine. Good simile a man Anyways also this one they named the never sweat mine I noticed which I guess like a selling point. Yeah to get people to start working there and then they're immediately like no You sweating this one? He's sweating all of them No coal Yeah, they're all coal.

Spoiler. They're all coal. No back pain mine. Everyone gets laid mine. Come on down. The committee of the State Board of Education appointed to investigate the trouble among the faculty at Montana State College of Bozeman said they're unable to find anything to investigate. So there is nothing to this news story. So what is that even? What? That's like a fireball.

That's a fireball return. Well, there's nothing to investigate. You're the investigator. You don't need me on this. Well, they said to find what all the trouble was and they're like, yeah, there's nothing here. There's no trouble. No trouble. Why'd you send me? Yeah.

Yeah. Send them to the mines. That's not a good movie. That's where people are. No. Yeah. All right. Well, anyway, that guy died.

John Fogarty. Helena and Anna Kondonda are at it again. This time baseball is the bone of contention. The other person's name? Helena and Anaconda, it's a town, they're towns. I know. And they hate each other. There were snow Anacondas.

By the way, what I was picturing just now, real different. Two guys that hate each other. And every week they get together and they're like, what will be our point of contention this time? Yeah. Like, how about baseball? Well, one of them's a snake in my head. Right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. We're back.

At the first game between the two clubs, one of the Helena players snake in my head. Right. Yeah. All right. All right. We're back. At the first game between the two clubs, one of the Helena players abused the umpire and was ordered out of the game and off the grounds. Abused the umpire. Yeah. Yeah, well, he was giving him shit for bad calls. It's like a tradition.

Dave's kid plays a lot of baseball. You can see he's got that. Yeah, he's talking to him as you're supposed to. Yeah. Oh, no, I don't do that. It's very dumb to give the umpire shit because then he makes calls against your team. So it's dumb. You follow him home.

I heard that was a regional thing. I don't have kids. But is that true that California and the parents don't yell at the umps and refs the way they do in the middle of the country? I don't know. We mostly don't yell at the umps. At the age of 12, everybody does because it's very animalistic at that age with the parents. But once you get past that, nobody really yells at the umps.

Everyone's going to think you might be like, blue. You might hear that once in a while. What's that one? Yeah, nobody. Blue. Blue. That's what you call the umpire is blue. Yeah, so that's not that much. I wouldn't be surprised if they did it back East more though. So what Mike's getting at is we would love to come to one of these games and maybe have a couple pops and

you know let the ref know ump is it whatever it is yell at the guy who's in charge a little bit did I ever tell you my did I have ever told the story of my greatest comeback ever at a drunk guy at a baseball game we were down 30 points and I was on fire. No, okay, what's your comment? There's a thing called Big League something and it's basically, they've created these parks where their little stadium, they look like

your favorite ballpark and it's so 12 year olds and 11 year olds can go play. Like replica fields. But in the middle, in the middle between all the fields, they put a bar. Oh. They have them all over the place and they have bars in every one.

So the parents get shit faced. And so we are at this game and this guy is plastered and it's like a hundred degrees out. And he keeps heckling one of our players. He's like, you petty waste. Like he's doing all this, you little sissy. And none of the parents, and we're just waiting for the parents on their side to be like, hey, Frank, you know, chill.

And nobody does anything. So he yells something. And I finally stood up and I went, hey, my dad used to come to games drunk, too. And it was embarrassing as shit. Oh, and then all the other parents go, hey, that's not cool. I was like, that's not cool Come on talking about I mean you went like clinical though. That's that is fucked up you went to the heart I

Went where you belong you hollow that man out quickly and you leave him for there's that mind talk. Yeah Darwin quadrangle, yeah, you dodged quadring him. That would be like Darwin quadrining him. But, we're going back. But, they took that guy out of there immediately after that, and he was gone. So it all worked out. It's tough on his son for sure. Yeah. That's one great.

That's one great. One great. Someone ought to get hurt. The kid was already in hell with his dad up there calling 20 years panty waste. I mean, it's just, you killed him. I bet, yeah, hopefully people don't really know he's drunk though. And then Everybody knew everybody. Yeah

I mean just that maybe there was no hiding thinking that I I will say putting a bar in the middle of that is uh, That's a great. It's insane crazy. It's it's one of the crazy. It's a great decision I've never won. I've never thought about being a parent until I heard that. Now I'm like, yeah, I could probably pull it off. It's up there with like, yeah, you can bring a gun into a bar. It's like one of those incredibly dumb. Cause people are always like,

parents are terrible at games. And you're like, how about booze? Yeah. Well. There's another dog. I'm gonna try to go through my whole dog park group. Another dog park. Yeah.

And really slow play. Don't be afraid. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, what's your dog park? Uh, is it the Los Los Silver Lake one, the Los Feliz one? No, I used to do that Silver Lake one, that big hot dirt circle. Yeah.

Hot dirt. Yeah. Now I do the Eagle Rock, fake grass or field. Okay. Yeah. Now I do the Eagle Rock, fake grass or field. Oh, okay. But, uh, there's a retired cop there and he comes to a lot of my, or comes to like a comedy show once a year or something, which is nice, but he always is like,

they going to have a metal detector. Can I bring my gun? And I'm like, does UCB have a metal detector? No, man. But, but also no, I don't know. No, maybe. I know. Maybe it's-

Not really the bottom. Second City does. Second City, yeah. UCB doesn't. Right, right. Right. I know you can bring firearms into Second City. I'm just trying to think about UCB.

The old one, I know you could. I don't know about the new one. It's always the biggest bummer to,'m backstage talking to the other comics and I'm like, my friend's here. He's got a gun. It sucks. What? No, just do your regular stuff. Like don't, I probably should have brought it up. Don't have to be thrown off, but this guy definitely has a firearm. He's to the right. So don't even look. I'm sorry. I should have said where he's sitting.

All right, back to the Helena and Anaconda. Sure. Baseball thing at the first game between the two clubs, one of the Helena players abused the Empire was ordered out of the game and off the grounds to get even. He assaulted the Empire after the game Yeah That's how you had already been abusing him. I guess the key to get even with himself a little no But I see what he said he's saying like, um, he abused him. So to kind of make it better

He beat him up. He beat him up. Yeah, he beat his ass Things are good. Now it's even, Steven. Now, now he's like, no. All right. Don't do that again. Okay, it's fair now, right? Yeah, now we're even. For this, he was suspended for two weeks and fined $50.

Whereas the Helena managers sulked and said they wouldn't play unless McCarthy was reinstated To the discredit of the league managers be it said that the Helena Club had its way and McCarthy was allowed to play again pending an investigation That's like an appeal. Yeah, like an appeal. Yeah investigation That's like an appeal. Yeah, like an appeal. Yeah Most Montanans would have been pleased to see President Lucas insist on McCarthy's suspension Even at the expense of Helena's withdrawal the loss would not have been irreparable So they're saying

Because this story is pretty inside baseball. Well And I believe the same. Because this story is pretty inside baseball. Well, what they're saying is it's like, it's like, you know, they they started. Something got a little heated in the. Dave, Dave, did you hear the. He ended up licking the frog. Oh, fuck. Jesus Christ. Same lunch.

How's the writers room on that show? It's good, but it's a lot of pressure. It's like every day I have to create a diamond in my hand. I don't know. Okay. Down in St. Louis, the wives of the employees have taken a hand in the streetcar strike and are assaulting those of their own sex who patronize the street railway. All right. So women are, women are beating women over the the strike. You're not supposed to go, you're not

supposed to go out on strike and and when they, I mean when people go on strike you're not supposed to use the railway. Like you stay off it. So ladies going to get beat. Ladies going to get beat. I don't think that quote will age great. But we have the clip. No, no, ladies. We have the beat is the new show the clip.

Run the clip. No, no, this is the clip. This is the Instagram clip. Just show the clip. No, it's not that tonight. What the fuck are you talking about? Cut to now you have to go track down footage of women beating up women around 1900.

Show the clip. I think we have a clip. I think we have a clip of this. And you're involved with that footage? Yeah, that's what I'm here to promote. Do you want to tee up, yeah, do you want to tee up the clip? Yeah, so yeah, so the 1900s, a bunch of women beat up other women

because they were kind of crossing the strike line. So I think we have, I think that's what this is, but it was a great project to be involved in. You in there? No, no, I just, nah, that's it. So, yeah, there you go, that's it. Oh, Dave, you're muted, which is the best part. Even the school mams have been warned

that it will be safer for them to walk to the scene of their labors than to use the street cars. Under circumstances, it will be in order. Might have been school. Yeah, school mams. Either way, school mams is better than moms. I don't know. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Under the circumstances, it will be in order for the teachers to strike for an increase of salary

to cover the cost of the carriage hire and life insurance. Now I'm a little lost in strike logic. Yeah, they always have something fun and cool, like umpire gets beat up and then it gets into, they go wandering off. Yeah, very. The minutia. This is a little inside strike. fun and cool like umpire gets beat up and then it gets into they go wandering off. Yeah. The minutiae. Yeah.

This is a little inside strike. Nice. No? Anyone? I agree that one didn't work. Well let's just revisit the last one because I think that one really didn't. Okay, go ahead. Kalispell should feel proud of its band.

There are a few musical organizations in Montana of the size and age of the local band that render such good music. There is no better advertisement for a town than a good band, unless it be a good newspaper. Oh, fuck off. How dare you. He sucks. Key to a good newspaper, a good writer. That guy's definitely one of the guys going through a divorce.

I mean, he sucks. Yeah. And the band didn't do anything. He just likes them. I thought it was going to be they won something. No, he's just saying every town should have a town band. They sound pretty good. I actually am a little bit for bringing that back, like having a town.

And then be. Yeah. It's kind of like, you know, in your day. All right. Fuck yeah. Hey, hey, thanks. It could be all right. You know, I would like that a little bit. Is that how it works? Yeah. I think you're bad. And you're like, hey, this town's coming along. Hey, it's not so bad.

That's me. Yeah. Hey, hey, it's not so bad. That's me. Yeah. Hey, hey, it's not going to be that bad for long. You'll be okay. Just kind of the mark marched on Main Street playing. Yeah. Although like our two, I'd be like, these guys need to shut the fuck up. This is ridiculous. Yeah.

I've heard Dixieland over and over again. This is crazy. That's a little harsh. What? Fuck them. Things are not going to be okay. over and over again. This is crazy. That's a little harsh. What? Fuck them. Things are not going to be OK. Things are back to how they were before I liked the band. Buffalo for Kalispell.

Mr. C.E. Conrad has purchased one eighth of the Allard herd of Buffalo, which have been ranging for a number of years, passed on the Flathead Reservation. This is my son, C.E. He's a good boy. He's a Buffalo man like his dad. He can't hear because of a stampede. We do the whole you guys did the whole movie, but Buffalo's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it will be for our podcast. Yeah

I mean the only we kind of Mel Brooks that in the middle with the whole he can't hear the herd sort of I don't know what we were kind of going for there. Yeah. Yeah we were kind of going for there. We got a little dwindling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two eggs all. Every time. We got tired by the end when a lot of it became oil again. Yeah, the milkshake, well we couldn't figure the milk,

like the milkshake stuff was not working at all with the buffalo. This makes no sense. So then we kind of like, I don't, honestly, I don't know. I don't even know why we edited it. were all kind of it was attrition the buffalo don't seem to lose much of their wildness by the herding process and mr. Conrad wisely nominated the bond that the shaggy creature should be delivered it is expected that this part of the contract will be somewhat difficult to fulfill,

as the Buffalo will be much harder to handle than the ordinary range steer, and it will be a ticklish job to get them from where they are ranging now to the pasture. That's definitely something I'm going to start incorporating into my language. This could be a bit ticklish with the traffic and all. I don't know. I don't love it, guys. This could get ticklish. What?

Could be a bit ticklish. I think the whole evening's gonna be pretty ticklish. I think next time the cop with the gun shows up to your show, things might get a little ticklish out there tonight. There's a guy with a gun. up to your show. Hey, things might get a little ticklish out there tonight. There's a guy with a gun. There's a guy packing. Could be a bit ticklish, but don't be thrown off. Fuck.

The present. Ticklish. The present plan of transportation is to load the Buffalo on a barge. That is a big word for me not to cut you off. This is a big moment. This is you're going to see a new Ticklish Ticklish. This is you're going to hear this a lot from me.

It was a bit ticklish. It's a bit. Things could get a bit ticklish, a bit ticklish. You're going to hear me say that. I don't know. I think I get a bit ticklish. Only if you tickle us. No, no, I could just. Nah, nah, nah. That's weird. That's not what this is. I'm pissed off by that. Now, stop saying that. That's not what I'm talking about. You keep doing that, things could get a bit ticklish. I'm not happy.

The present plan of just showing a gun. Things could get a bit ticklish. She says I'm going to go see a comedy show. Things might get a bit ticklish. Covered in blood. Things got pretty ticklish out there. Officer, that is when things turned a little ticklish. I'm sorry.

What? Your honor, my client was in a ticklish mood and things turned ticklish. What are you in for? Yes. Things got a bit ticklish. Let's just, let's just leave it at got a bit ticklish. Let's just say things got a little ticklish on the outside. Ah, fuck.

Moving, moving Buffalo will be more ticklish than I think that's what they said. Than steers. Than steers. Yeah. It's more ticklish than steers. It's been steers. Yeah, it's more ticklish. It's a bit tickle considering they are enormous piece. Getting stampeded to death. Well, that turned a bit ticklish on him, didn't it? That's why you work with horses.

Cows, whatever they are, I don't know. Ticklish. The present plan of transportation is to load the buffalo on a barge at the foot of the lake and have the steamer tow the barge to Demersville, which will be only about five miles from their destination. Five miles transporting buffalo on a steamship. No, no. Then they're only five miles. I think they're coming from a lot further away than five miles on a steamship. Oh, and then they have five miles to walk. This ends with them going,

what if we just killed them all instead? That was a good idea. That's way better. So they're having to move them all over the place. That's a way better idea. Because I should have thought about it. Hey look, meat! Yeah.

There, there aren't any anymore. Are there? I mean, I know like you can, I drove through like a weird living zoo thing once. Yeah. Like a couple of said. I like a dead zoo. This is a bit of,

you should have said that on the outside of this place. Do you see the rotten tiger? Things got a bit ticklish. I think they're above. Just like in the wild. I think so. Not a time. I mean, there's you know, it's

I think we're diminishing everything there. They are considered near threatened. There's 20,000 five. Got to love our world. Plains, 2500 left buffaloes in conservation areas. 2,500 left is near threatened. There's 420,000 in commercial herds. What the fuck?

So they're still killing them for food? Well, that's for Rogan. Outside of Rogan, how many are there? I mean, look, they're not extinct because you can see them on Catalina Island. So right? Come on. What are you doing? Come on, boys.. So, right?

Come on. Come on, boys. What do you mean? Yeah, they're in mine. There's buffalo on Catalina. Did you not know that? No. No. There are.

There's some in the living zoo I drove through. Yeah. You know, life's a living zoo. There's like three of them, and then you go through another gate and there's like four wolves. It's pretty cool. You know what? your whole story is a little bit ticklish. Where was this? It was in between. I was driving to Michigan from LA. So it was in between there.

This is I see this a lot driving on the road where you'll be in Kansas and you'll be like giraffe. Oh, I just feel good. Oh, no. They're like one giraffe. You're like, poor mother. And next comes see one giraffe and a jaguar. You're like, oh, yeah. No, there's by the way, they're threatened. The alad herd is probably the only buffalo left in the west outside of those in the National Park.

The close visitage of a herd of buffalo will add in no small degree to the attractiveness of Calisbo as a point of interest to visitors. Yep. Sure. So they kind of acknowledge this is our last batch of them. We got to get them on that boat hold on Yeah, yeah Well, there you go. That's fun. Well, that's that's the pastimes. That's the pastimes Mike you did it So now Dave you can finally tell us who won the guessing of the year. I think that'd be a good way to end it Yeah, that was Mike All right. Well, that was Mike. Interesting. All right.

I heard the yes. It's closer. Mike O'Brien, thank you for joining us. Business Trips, your podcast with Brad Morris, who will be on this show soon. Anything else to have people follow? When's the next show you're doing with the armed officer? That would be a lesion in like two weeks. So hopefully this comes out before, but in LA if people are around check that out.

Where can people get tickets? A lesion website? Yeah and there's a link in my Instagram bio and yeah I think... Will you say what your Instagram is? Mike O'Brien 12345. It is... A lot of Mike's. You're probably, you're one of the, really, you have one of the funnier Instagrams. Just very quickly, Mike did sort of catalog modeling for a while,

but then the best thing he would do is he would go into like a live feed of someone famous Like I might not even be able to get through it He'll go in a live feed of like DJ Khaled or something where he's like, you know DJ I could be like, alright, this is gonna be awesome And then the next screenshot will be like I ate a bunch of crab meat earlier today to get ready for tonight.

And the next one will be like, oh man, really dig in this event. Stomach's a little gurgly. And then the next one will be like, oh man, I'm in the bathroom. Not being able to, this is surrounded by thousands of comments. It's just happening, it's a little meltdown.

You rolled it out perfectly. Yeah, always some, some, the second or third one has to mention what was eaten. And there's one specific one that always had a shout out by the DJ to Donnie Wahlberg. And so after I'd like blasted my pants or whatever I'd always say is Donnie Wallberg in here like they were always like Michelle Obama's in here and Donnie Wallberg and you're like what don't announce when Donnie's in here while these this guy's having horrendous food poisoning.
