00 Hello!

Last episode of the free feed of season 36!

Let’s go season 37!

Has anyone chosen any of us for the phone call? Apparently, yes? At least one Matt!

Eliot doesn’t really know.

Talking weekly clips and getting you guys to help us pick the clip!

Hopefully, your picks include the guest! Preferably!

Jimmy wonders why he’s the one putting a pencil in his nose in Matt’s example.

Bob Odenkirk is eating a lot of dicks thanks to the Nobody 2 poster and taggers!

Drew Lynch is here!

Oliver’s gonna read his final trivia question shortly!

Jimmy found himself getting angry at the idea of Oliver leaving.

Jimmy’s grateful he gets to come in after moving Oliver!

We’ll be right back!

36m16s – We’re back!

In fact, Drew and Jimmy HAVE met in the past.

Drew used to work the door at Flappers! He would wrap up as soon as possible so he could go in and see Jimmy’s set.

Drew talks about the flappers rec softball team and that was where he got his injury that lead to his stutter. It was a vocal contusion and traumatic brain injury.

40 – His new special is called The Stuttering Comic.

Drew talks about what happened when the incident occurred and how his brain hit both the back and the front of his skull.

45 – Jimmy’s not happy with Drew’s former reps who dropped him.

Drew talks America’s Got Talent! He was 2^nd place behind a ventriloquist, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Zerdin.

AGT started in 2006!

50 – 592 sets in LA in one year!

He talks about doing shows and working to his goals.

Jimmy and Drew talk about growing up as little guys.

Penn and Teller heights? Penn is 6’7’’ and Teller is 5’9’’.

Drew talks Vegas!

60 – Jimmy explains buffets.

Drew’s siblings are younger and live back in Indiana. They’re not performers at all.

Talking performing back home. Performing for family members is awful.

Drew’s ex is good friends with his wife! They have a dog in Vermont!

How does a comedian meet a champion cross country skier?! Drew explains!

1h5m – “Wax poetic” is an English phrase that is used to describe someone’s overly flowery and long-winded style of speech. E.g. During the dinner party, John began to wax poetic about his love for classical music, describing in extreme detail how each note seemed to paint a picture in his mind.

All skis need wax, but the amount and complexity of the work involved really depends on the skier to whom they belong.

Jimmy finally finished Trainwreck and it seems like the Woodstock 99 doc

Jimmy had something kicked into his eye by a car driving past him and it was there for 3 days.

1h10m – Drew wants to use the eye wash stations in school!

Jimmy has a story from science class! Some kid grabbed his arm with hot tongs. You could see the mark most of Jimmy’s life.

1h15m – Galactic snacks taste test!

Eliot is trying to decipher the language.

1h25m – Oliver trivia!
