00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:12.160
This is another episode of Stand Up Comedy, your host and MC, celebrating 40 plus years on the fringe of show business.
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:17.600
Stories, interviews, and comedy sets from the famous and not so famous.
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.440
Here's your host and MC, Scott Edwards.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:28.960
Hi, and welcome to another great show, a cavalcade of comedy, as we work our way back in time.
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:30.559
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.359
I have four, four talented headliners to share with you today.
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:43.759
We're gonna start off in nineteen ninety-six with one of the funniest and cleanest comics ever to come out of the Bay Area.
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.719
He is a good friend of mine, worked many, many shows with me, and one of our favorites.
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.719
Coming up in just a little bit, Steve Brunner.
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:58.560
After him, we'll have from 1995 see the theme, we're moving backwards.
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.200
Tom McTeague, a very funny guy.
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:09.200
He's now out of Texas now, but back in the day he was living in Los Angeles and a very uh top-end headliner.
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.840
From 1990, we have a great set from Paula Poundstone.
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:18.000
We were one of the first clubs she worked when she first came out from Boston.
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.879
And this set from 1990 is a lot of fun.
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.599
And then to end things up, we go to the high-energy comedy of Bobcat Goldthwaite from 1989.
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:34.159
And this high-energy short set is just a taste of what Bobcat was like on stage.
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:41.920
So, ladies and gentlemen, as we work our way back in time, we have a very entertaining and funny cavalcade of comedy.
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.359
So let's get started.
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:50.879
Coming up first, as I mentioned, a regular Laughs Unlimited, one of the cleanest corporate comics still outworking today.
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.000
In fact, I just did a fundraiser with him last month.
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.359
Very, very funny guy out of the Bay Area.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.760
Here's a little comedy by Steve Brunner.
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.959
Not too long ago, one of these scenes where the cavalry comes in to say the day.
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.120
Really, the hardest job in the entire world had to be the viewboard in the battle.
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.080
There's anything you don't want to be.
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.400
It's a target making noise.
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.199
He's just leading his old friends right into the fray playing his untended Both the words to the song.
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:28.639
I'm over here.
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:32.639
Without the gun.
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:35.680
Shoot me first.
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:38.719
I hit my recruiter.
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.960
Like it's not a hard enough job just playing bugle.
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.240
It's a hard instrument to play.
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.639
This guy is trying to play it while riding a horse.
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.639
Like that wouldn't be the toughest job in the company.
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:50.400
Hope he had a good dental playing.
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:50.800
That's it.
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.039
You know, before I joined the cavalry, they used to call me Bucky.
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:03.439
And we had a lot of musical instruments leading the charge into bats, like the Scottish Army.
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:11.840
He was definitely shot first.
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.479
Usually by his own men.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:22.879
Tough jobs are everywhere.
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.199
I think it's gotta be a tough job to be doctor.
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.680
Because everybody's nervous, not known to the doctor.
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.919
Figured out why I was nervous last time I went.
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:31.840
It's because they give me that little form.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.759
It says name, address, phone number.
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.800
Then line four says, in case of emergency.
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.680
Who do you want us to know the five?
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:42.800
Perhaps the doctor.
00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:03.520
This last flight across the country, she actually said as part of her safety speech, in case of an unscheduled landing.
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:06.319
Code word, crack.
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.599
In case of an unscheduled landing, file out in an orderly fashion.
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.439
Did you not see us trying to get onboard?
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:23.920
We couldn't manage to get on this side.
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.639
We moved to this plane like it was the last chopper at the side.
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.519
Now you're gonna factor death into the equation.
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.839
And they make flying uncomfortable for a lot of people now.
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:43.759
They've outlawed smoking on airplanes.
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.199
You think that's a good idea?
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.720
Yeah, people kind of applaud that.
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.800
Never applaud anything from too busy gasping for breath.
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:57.360
It's like I'd kick your butt if I had the lung capacitated.
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.560
I think they should still have separate sections.
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:07.120
Maybe not smoking and non-smoking, but something to separate, it's like withdrawing and non-moking.
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.959
That way, for a seven-hour flight, I would have to sit next to Mr.
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.519
Fidgety, who's being forced to quit.
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.360
Because you realize in the very first minute you sit next to him, it's gonna be a very long flight for both of us.
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:22.959
You know I can't smoke.
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.800
But you're in the area is while they're in the suit.
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:39.600
Is there any place I can smoke or they can have a problem here?
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:40.720
Is there like a door to the wing?
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.399
Maybe a window goes down or something like that.
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:44.079
How about the bathroom?
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:44.560
Is the bathroom?
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:45.279
It's a felony.
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:46.800
Oh god, they hate you being singing.
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:47.519
Saying, what are you important?
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.199
Smoking in the boys' room.
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.199
I used to until this last slide.
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.160
I used to worry about a terrorist hijacker, not anymore.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.639
Now I'm worried about some guy in the midst of a nicotine fit.
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.000
Alright, just land the damn thing.
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:02.800
Put it down.
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.040
Somewhere near North Carolina, they grow tobacco there.
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.600
Hey, I don't start smoking, we all start smoking.
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.040
Get what I mean?
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.040
Steve's one of my favorites for a reason.
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.600
Always very funny, easy to relate to, and as clean as they come.
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.399
Hey, coming up next, another one of our favorites.
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.639
He worked the club for many, many years.
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.639
He was originally in Los Angeles.
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:35.199
He's now semi-retired to Texas, but a very funny and successful stand-up comic.
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:36.319
You may remember him.
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.920
He was also an early actor on the TV show Baywatch.
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.480
Here's some stand-up comedy by the very funny Tom McTeague.
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.120
Well, it's nice to be here.
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.480
Played some golf today, which was fun.
00:06:50.959 --> 00:07:01.199
But it was kind of embarrassing because I hit a, I'm not a very good golfer, but I hit kind of a long ball off the fifth key, I guess, and I clipped the lady in the far somewhere in front of us.
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.519
I didn't kill her or not, dude.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.240
So I had to clap her to death with my forearm.
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:14.879
Because you never want to take a wounded golfer home with you, because sometimes you know they come too in the backseat and they can really tear up your upholstery.
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:44.000
And I was walking down the boardwalk up there, and these two guys passed me, and as they walked past, they made some rather disparaging remarks about Mexicans, which I thought was a little, you know, off base, you know, because there's a lot of Mexican influence and a lot of Mexicans around here because Mexico's like a block away.
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:54.000
And I, you know, I mean, if you think about it, it's really too bad because the Mexicans as a people are a very, very proud race.
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.759
They were originally Siberian.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.480
Um this was a long time ago.
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:07.839
Then they migrated across the Siberian Land Bridge to Alaska, and it was just really cold.
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:15.439
And they um kept walking and they got to Canada, and um, everybody was just stupid.
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:26.399
Um then they kept walking and got to Washington, and it was raining, and then they got to Oregon and they didn't want to hang around because everybody was pretty stoned.
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:33.360
And then they got down here to California, kept walking and got here to California, and of course couldn't get on the golf courses here.
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:39.200
And so they kept walking and got to and eventually settled what we now know as Mexico.
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:46.240
And it makes me awfully upset when I hear people say, you know, that Mexicans are lazy because you know they're not lazy, they're tired.
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:54.799
I'm a little tired myself.
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.519
I mean I'm not like Ethiopian tired.
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.080
I gotta wipe a fly off my nose if I had to.
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:40.240
I'm I'm tired though.
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:41.919
I'm tired.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.279
I just um I just got um a new bed.
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:46.960
Um my first bed, actually.
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:48.320
It's my first real bed.
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.799
Um not like real real bed sleeping on pallets of straws.
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.279
I've had a water bed before.
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.799
Which are good bed, they're good beds for for um sleeping on.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.200
Um but they're not very good for making love, I don't think.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:10.639
Because my idea of the love act is um real slam dunk and friction.
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:19.039
And um with water beds, you know, you get the wave action going.
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:24.960
And then both parties just kind of in the same direction.
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.440
Kind of becomes a nice warm wet place to put your penis for nowhere.
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.440
Makes you kind of sleepy.
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:48.639
And I had silk sheets on my watermelon.
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.840
And silk sheets, in my opinion, are a purchase that people only make once.
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.320
Oh, you only buy silk sheets once.
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.279
And I bought them for the same reason that most men buy silk sheets.
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:09.679
Um I saw an ad in the men's magazine with a very voluptuous young lady and a very high-cut teddy here, and a remote-cut teddy there, and then push a big old cleavage there.
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:17.840
And there's a caption underneath it all that said, nothing feels like silk.
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.000
So I bought him.
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:29.759
Yeah, and they're right.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:36.000
When nothing feels like silk, but nothing feels like a headboard at 30 miles an hour either.
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.120
Wow, that was great.
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:46.879
Tom is a very funny guy, and you could see he's got a great grasp on what's funny and how to get it across to an audience.
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.320
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we wanted to bring the ladies into this.
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:56.720
A young lady that first came out from Boston to Laughs Unlimited was one of their first clubs she ever worked.
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:05.600
She was also the only act I allowed to work multiple weeks at my club is so she could work out a material and kind of find her comedic voice.
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.600
She went on to fame and fortune.
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.840
She has a very popular podcast now, done a lot of television.
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.039
But let's hear some comedy from 1990.
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:20.799
Ladies and gentlemen, a young and unique Paula Poundstone.
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:24.960
Thanks very much.
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:29.519
Yeah, I was able to nail down the uh comedy oasis job.
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.120
I'm able to go to Winnipeg and Sacramento.
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:34.639
I'm feeling pretty good about it.
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.840
It's and I chose nothing when you compare it to Sacramento.
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.039
Unlimited laughs, you guys.
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:42.639
What more could you ask for?
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:44.399
Jay loves it, right?
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:45.200
I like it, okay?
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:46.799
It gets a little depressing now sometimes.
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:48.559
I was in Cleveland a couple weeks ago.
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.240
I ran into your vet and tried to drive into a tree and kill myself.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.720
Well, as it turns out, you can't get up enough speed to do that in a chavet.
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.879
You can knock the Kleenex box off the dashboard.
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.039
Which certainly vents a good deal of feeling.
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.000
Are there a lot of tours here?
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.919
Then the locals are gonna get their butts kicked in the playoff game, I think.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.840
I uh I I'm trying to think if I've done anything summary or vacation.
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:23.039
I don't really too much.
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:27.360
I'm always edgy in the summer because my parents uh recently bought a Winnebago.
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:34.240
Which means they could pull up in front of my house any day now and just live there.
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:40.159
Tell you what, they're not plugging anything in, they're not getting any water.
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.240
They should have thought of that a long time ago.
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:46.320
When I was a little kid, my mom would get mad at me.
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.639
She'd say, Your butt is my meat.
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.399
I always wondered, what line goes with that?
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.399
I don't know if it messed me up or not, but I talk to a shrink pretty much every day now.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.519
I said, you know, the thing about seeing a shrink is you really can't pay someone to take an interest.
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.519
You know what I mean?
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:12.399
There's nothing worth realizing that piece of paper your shrink is written on is a crossword puzzle.
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.159
It was a dead gift when I told her something about my mom.
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:17.279
She said, mm-hmm.
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.240
And who played 99 on Get Smart?
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.639
So Barbara Feldon, why?
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:25.519
Mm-hmm.
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.919
And how do you feel about that?
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:36.000
I'd always wanted Karen Valentine to have that role.
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:43.600
Because it turns out a lot of my sexual problems has to do with casting and sitcoms in the early 70s.
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:56.240
I would like to do a remake of that movie, It's a Wonderful Life, where in the beginning of the film I jump off the bridge and the angel rescues me and shows me what life would have been like without me.
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.440
It turns out it really would have been a whole lot better.
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.360
And the angel is forced to apologize.
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:07.759
I think it was last month's Life magazine.
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:08.960
They were talking about old movies.
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.000
They said The Wizard of Oz was reviewed badly when it first came out.
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:12.879
Did you read this?
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.360
Yeah, they said it was stupid and unimaginative.
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.519
What if it turns out Rambo 3 was really good?
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.919
And they show it every Easter.
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.759
I'll tell you what, I guess I understand that you guys liked the Batman movie.
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:36.720
I'm not gonna see it.
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:41.039
I figure I've seen it frame by frame in t-shirts that have walked by me at this point.
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.279
Enough for the Batman movie.
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:45.519
I liked the television show when it was out, you know.
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.159
Oh, you know why I think the criminals always got caught on that show?
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.200
It's because they wore their names on their outfits.
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:57.440
The Riddler wore a green leotard with question marks on it.
00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:58.480
Exactly.
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.039
How hard is that gonna be to identify?
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:04.240
Why, yes, officer, I believe that's him.
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.720
Unless, of course, the ice capades has a punctuation theme this year.
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.399
I gotta tell you, nobody does comedy like Paula.
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.919
She is one of a kind.
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:19.600
Well, we hope you're enjoying this.
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:24.240
We have one last little bit of comedy for the cavalcade of comedy.
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.679
This high-energy act, you've seen him on television.
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:30.960
He was uh a huge success in the late 80s.
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.200
In fact, this is from 1989.
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.440
He went on to some movie and television success in the 90s.
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:44.879
But let's hear some great stand-up comedy, a short, exciting set by Bob Kat Goldway.
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:48.159
I don't know.
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:54.799
I don't know, I don't know a fucking thing about politics, and I'm not gonna pretend I even know anything about politics.
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:01.440
I'm not as smart as that president, you know, and and and all that.
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:31.759
I don't know, I don't know.
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.720
I'm so confused of what's going on.
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.799
There was all these guns, there was all this money.
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:48.400
We had Israelis, we get Israelis so the Iranians, right?
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:59.920
I'm not trying to be a racist, but it's like some kind of rap and made by the Israelis, and that sounds pretty odd to me.
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:09.759
That was Bobcat Goldthwaite doing a little political humor back in 1989.
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:26.559
Well, hey, we uh hope you enjoyed this little time travel cavalcade of comedy from 1996 and Steve Brunner, 1995 Tom McTeague, 1990 Paula Poundstone, and you just heard from 1989 Bobcat Goldthwaite.
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:29.200
We want to thank you for joining us for today's show.
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:30.240

Next Sunday, another great one.
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:34.000
Thanks for listening.
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:34.960

This is another episode of Stand Up Comedy, your host and MC, celebrating 40 plus years on the fringe of show business.
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:17.600
Stories, interviews, and comedy sets from the famous and not so famous.
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.440
Here's your host and MC, Scott Edwards.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:28.960
Hi, and welcome to another great show, a cavalcade of comedy, as we work our way back in time.
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:30.559
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.359
I have four, four talented headliners to share with you today.
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:43.759
We're gonna start off in nineteen ninety-six with one of the funniest and cleanest comics ever to come out of the Bay Area.
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.719
He is a good friend of mine, worked many, many shows with me, and one of our favorites.
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.719
Coming up in just a little bit, Steve Brunner.
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:58.560
After him, we'll have from 1995 see the theme, we're moving backwards.
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.200
Tom McTeague, a very funny guy.
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:09.200
He's now out of Texas now, but back in the day he was living in Los Angeles and a very uh top-end headliner.
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.840
From 1990, we have a great set from Paula Poundstone.
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:18.000
We were one of the first clubs she worked when she first came out from Boston.
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.879
And this set from 1990 is a lot of fun.
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:27.599
And then to end things up, we go to the high-energy comedy of Bobcat Goldthwaite from 1989.
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:34.159
And this high-energy short set is just a taste of what Bobcat was like on stage.
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:41.920
So, ladies and gentlemen, as we work our way back in time, we have a very entertaining and funny cavalcade of comedy.
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.359
So let's get started.
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:50.879
Coming up first, as I mentioned, a regular Laughs Unlimited, one of the cleanest corporate comics still outworking today.
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.000
In fact, I just did a fundraiser with him last month.
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.359
Very, very funny guy out of the Bay Area.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.760
Here's a little comedy by Steve Brunner.
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.959
Not too long ago, one of these scenes where the cavalry comes in to say the day.
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.120
Really, the hardest job in the entire world had to be the viewboard in the battle.
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.080
There's anything you don't want to be.
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.400
It's a target making noise.
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.199
He's just leading his old friends right into the fray playing his untended Both the words to the song.
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:28.639
I'm over here.
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:32.639
Without the gun.
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:35.680
Shoot me first.
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:38.719
I hit my recruiter.
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.960
Like it's not a hard enough job just playing bugle.
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:44.240
It's a hard instrument to play.
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.639
This guy is trying to play it while riding a horse.
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.639
Like that wouldn't be the toughest job in the company.
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:50.400
Hope he had a good dental playing.
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:50.800
That's it.
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.039
You know, before I joined the cavalry, they used to call me Bucky.
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:03.439
And we had a lot of musical instruments leading the charge into bats, like the Scottish Army.
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:11.840
He was definitely shot first.
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:16.479
Usually by his own men.
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:22.879
Tough jobs are everywhere.
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.199
I think it's gotta be a tough job to be doctor.
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.680
Because everybody's nervous, not known to the doctor.
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.919
Figured out why I was nervous last time I went.
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:31.840
It's because they give me that little form.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.759
It says name, address, phone number.
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.800
Then line four says, in case of emergency.
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.680
Who do you want us to know the five?
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:42.800
Perhaps the doctor.
00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:03.520
This last flight across the country, she actually said as part of her safety speech, in case of an unscheduled landing.
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:06.319
Code word, crack.
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.599
In case of an unscheduled landing, file out in an orderly fashion.
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.439
Did you not see us trying to get onboard?
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:23.920
We couldn't manage to get on this side.
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.639
We moved to this plane like it was the last chopper at the side.
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.519
Now you're gonna factor death into the equation.
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.839
And they make flying uncomfortable for a lot of people now.
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:43.759
They've outlawed smoking on airplanes.
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.199
You think that's a good idea?
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.720
Yeah, people kind of applaud that.
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.800
Never applaud anything from too busy gasping for breath.
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:57.360
It's like I'd kick your butt if I had the lung capacitated.
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.560
I think they should still have separate sections.
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:07.120
Maybe not smoking and non-smoking, but something to separate, it's like withdrawing and non-moking.
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.959
That way, for a seven-hour flight, I would have to sit next to Mr.
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.519
Fidgety, who's being forced to quit.
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.360
Because you realize in the very first minute you sit next to him, it's gonna be a very long flight for both of us.
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:22.959
You know I can't smoke.
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.800
But you're in the area is while they're in the suit.
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:39.600
Is there any place I can smoke or they can have a problem here?
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:40.720
Is there like a door to the wing?
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.399
Maybe a window goes down or something like that.
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:44.079
How about the bathroom?
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:44.560
Is the bathroom?
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:45.279
It's a felony.
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:46.800
Oh god, they hate you being singing.
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:47.519
Saying, what are you important?
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.199
Smoking in the boys' room.
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.199
I used to until this last slide.
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.160
I used to worry about a terrorist hijacker, not anymore.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.639
Now I'm worried about some guy in the midst of a nicotine fit.
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.000
Alright, just land the damn thing.
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:02.800
Put it down.
00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:07.040
Somewhere near North Carolina, they grow tobacco there.
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.600
Hey, I don't start smoking, we all start smoking.
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.040
Get what I mean?
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.040
Steve's one of my favorites for a reason.
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.600
Always very funny, easy to relate to, and as clean as they come.
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.399
Hey, coming up next, another one of our favorites.
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:26.639
He worked the club for many, many years.
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.639
He was originally in Los Angeles.
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:35.199
He's now semi-retired to Texas, but a very funny and successful stand-up comic.
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:36.319
You may remember him.
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.920
He was also an early actor on the TV show Baywatch.
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.480
Here's some stand-up comedy by the very funny Tom McTeague.
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.120
Well, it's nice to be here.
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.480
Played some golf today, which was fun.
00:06:50.959 --> 00:07:01.199
But it was kind of embarrassing because I hit a, I'm not a very good golfer, but I hit kind of a long ball off the fifth key, I guess, and I clipped the lady in the far somewhere in front of us.
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.519
I didn't kill her or not, dude.
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.240
So I had to clap her to death with my forearm.
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:14.879
Because you never want to take a wounded golfer home with you, because sometimes you know they come too in the backseat and they can really tear up your upholstery.
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:44.000
And I was walking down the boardwalk up there, and these two guys passed me, and as they walked past, they made some rather disparaging remarks about Mexicans, which I thought was a little, you know, off base, you know, because there's a lot of Mexican influence and a lot of Mexicans around here because Mexico's like a block away.
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:54.000
And I, you know, I mean, if you think about it, it's really too bad because the Mexicans as a people are a very, very proud race.
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.759
They were originally Siberian.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.480
Um this was a long time ago.
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:07.839
Then they migrated across the Siberian Land Bridge to Alaska, and it was just really cold.
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:15.439
And they um kept walking and they got to Canada, and um, everybody was just stupid.
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:26.399
Um then they kept walking and got to Washington, and it was raining, and then they got to Oregon and they didn't want to hang around because everybody was pretty stoned.
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:33.360
And then they got down here to California, kept walking and got here to California, and of course couldn't get on the golf courses here.
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:39.200
And so they kept walking and got to and eventually settled what we now know as Mexico.
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:46.240
And it makes me awfully upset when I hear people say, you know, that Mexicans are lazy because you know they're not lazy, they're tired.
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:54.799
I'm a little tired myself.
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.519
I mean I'm not like Ethiopian tired.
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.080
I gotta wipe a fly off my nose if I had to.
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:40.240
I'm I'm tired though.
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:41.919
I'm tired.
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.279
I just um I just got um a new bed.
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:46.960
Um my first bed, actually.
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:48.320
It's my first real bed.
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.799
Um not like real real bed sleeping on pallets of straws.
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.279
I've had a water bed before.
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.799
Which are good bed, they're good beds for for um sleeping on.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.200
Um but they're not very good for making love, I don't think.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:10.639
Because my idea of the love act is um real slam dunk and friction.
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:19.039
And um with water beds, you know, you get the wave action going.
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:24.960
And then both parties just kind of in the same direction.
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.440
Kind of becomes a nice warm wet place to put your penis for nowhere.
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:39.440
Makes you kind of sleepy.
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:48.639
And I had silk sheets on my watermelon.
00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:53.840
And silk sheets, in my opinion, are a purchase that people only make once.
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.320
Oh, you only buy silk sheets once.
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.279
And I bought them for the same reason that most men buy silk sheets.
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:09.679
Um I saw an ad in the men's magazine with a very voluptuous young lady and a very high-cut teddy here, and a remote-cut teddy there, and then push a big old cleavage there.
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:17.840
And there's a caption underneath it all that said, nothing feels like silk.
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.000
So I bought him.
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:29.759
Yeah, and they're right.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:36.000
When nothing feels like silk, but nothing feels like a headboard at 30 miles an hour either.
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.120
Wow, that was great.
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:46.879
Tom is a very funny guy, and you could see he's got a great grasp on what's funny and how to get it across to an audience.
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.320
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we wanted to bring the ladies into this.
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:56.720
A young lady that first came out from Boston to Laughs Unlimited was one of their first clubs she ever worked.
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:05.600
She was also the only act I allowed to work multiple weeks at my club is so she could work out a material and kind of find her comedic voice.
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.600
She went on to fame and fortune.
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.840
She has a very popular podcast now, done a lot of television.
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.039
But let's hear some comedy from 1990.
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:20.799
Ladies and gentlemen, a young and unique Paula Poundstone.
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:24.960
Thanks very much.
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:29.519
Yeah, I was able to nail down the uh comedy oasis job.
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.120
I'm able to go to Winnipeg and Sacramento.
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:34.639
I'm feeling pretty good about it.
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.840
It's and I chose nothing when you compare it to Sacramento.
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.039
Unlimited laughs, you guys.
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:42.639
What more could you ask for?
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:44.399
Jay loves it, right?
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:45.200
I like it, okay?
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:46.799
It gets a little depressing now sometimes.
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:48.559
I was in Cleveland a couple weeks ago.
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.240
I ran into your vet and tried to drive into a tree and kill myself.
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.720
Well, as it turns out, you can't get up enough speed to do that in a chavet.
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.879
You can knock the Kleenex box off the dashboard.
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.039
Which certainly vents a good deal of feeling.
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.000
Are there a lot of tours here?
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.919
Then the locals are gonna get their butts kicked in the playoff game, I think.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.840
I uh I I'm trying to think if I've done anything summary or vacation.
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:23.039
I don't really too much.
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:27.360
I'm always edgy in the summer because my parents uh recently bought a Winnebago.
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:34.240
Which means they could pull up in front of my house any day now and just live there.
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:40.159
Tell you what, they're not plugging anything in, they're not getting any water.
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.240
They should have thought of that a long time ago.
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:46.320
When I was a little kid, my mom would get mad at me.
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.639
She'd say, Your butt is my meat.
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.399
I always wondered, what line goes with that?
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.399
I don't know if it messed me up or not, but I talk to a shrink pretty much every day now.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:05.519
I said, you know, the thing about seeing a shrink is you really can't pay someone to take an interest.
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.519
You know what I mean?
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:12.399
There's nothing worth realizing that piece of paper your shrink is written on is a crossword puzzle.
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.159
It was a dead gift when I told her something about my mom.
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:17.279
She said, mm-hmm.
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:20.240
And who played 99 on Get Smart?
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.639
So Barbara Feldon, why?
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:25.519
Mm-hmm.
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.919
And how do you feel about that?
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:36.000
I'd always wanted Karen Valentine to have that role.
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:43.600
Because it turns out a lot of my sexual problems has to do with casting and sitcoms in the early 70s.
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:56.240
I would like to do a remake of that movie, It's a Wonderful Life, where in the beginning of the film I jump off the bridge and the angel rescues me and shows me what life would have been like without me.
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.440
It turns out it really would have been a whole lot better.
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.360
And the angel is forced to apologize.
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:07.759
I think it was last month's Life magazine.
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:08.960
They were talking about old movies.
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.000
They said The Wizard of Oz was reviewed badly when it first came out.
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:12.879
Did you read this?
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.360
Yeah, they said it was stupid and unimaginative.
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.519
What if it turns out Rambo 3 was really good?
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.919
And they show it every Easter.
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.759
I'll tell you what, I guess I understand that you guys liked the Batman movie.
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:36.720
I'm not gonna see it.
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:41.039
I figure I've seen it frame by frame in t-shirts that have walked by me at this point.
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:43.279
Enough for the Batman movie.
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:45.519
I liked the television show when it was out, you know.
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.159
Oh, you know why I think the criminals always got caught on that show?
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.200
It's because they wore their names on their outfits.
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:57.440
The Riddler wore a green leotard with question marks on it.
00:15:57.919 --> 00:15:58.480
Exactly.
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.039
How hard is that gonna be to identify?
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:04.240
Why, yes, officer, I believe that's him.
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.720
Unless, of course, the ice capades has a punctuation theme this year.
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.399
I gotta tell you, nobody does comedy like Paula.
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.919
She is one of a kind.
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:19.600
Well, we hope you're enjoying this.
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:24.240
We have one last little bit of comedy for the cavalcade of comedy.
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.679
This high-energy act, you've seen him on television.
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:30.960
He was uh a huge success in the late 80s.
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.200
In fact, this is from 1989.
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.440
He went on to some movie and television success in the 90s.
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:44.879
But let's hear some great stand-up comedy, a short, exciting set by Bob Kat Goldway.
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:48.159
I don't know.
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:54.799
I don't know, I don't know a fucking thing about politics, and I'm not gonna pretend I even know anything about politics.
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:01.440
I'm not as smart as that president, you know, and and and all that.
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:31.759
I don't know, I don't know.
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.720
I'm so confused of what's going on.
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.799
There was all these guns, there was all this money.
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:48.400
We had Israelis, we get Israelis so the Iranians, right?
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:59.920
I'm not trying to be a racist, but it's like some kind of rap and made by the Israelis, and that sounds pretty odd to me.
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:09.759
That was Bobcat Goldthwaite doing a little political humor back in 1989.
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:26.559
Well, hey, we uh hope you enjoyed this little time travel cavalcade of comedy from 1996 and Steve Brunner, 1995 Tom McTeague, 1990 Paula Poundstone, and you just heard from 1989 Bobcat Goldthwaite.
