The hosts discuss an upcoming comedy tour, a private beach resort trip in Bora Bora, and various celebrity death stories, while also promoting sponsors like Box of Awesome and Zocdoc. A significant portion of the conversation involves brainstorming a fictional hot dog restaurant concept called 'Oh Hot Dog' and interacting with guest Mike Ely, who discusses his new comedy special and industry experiences.
Key takeaways 6
Tour Schedule: The hosts have four final dates for the current year (Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapolis, Madison) and a 2024 schedule including casinos and venues in Atlantic City, Salt Lake City, Tulsa, Reno, Sacramento, Long Beach, Windsor, Niagara Falls, and Las Vegas.
Bora Bora Experience: The host stayed in an over-water hut at a private resort in French Polynesia, noting the local population speaks French and has a distinct Polynesian appearance. He flew coach class for 10-11 hours, surviving by sleeping in the bathroom.
Celebrity Deaths: Discussion covers Sunny Bono dying in a skiing accident after hitting a tree, Sam Cooke being shot by a woman who set him up for robbery, and autoerotic asphyxiation deaths of David Carradine and Michael Hutchence.
Music Knowledge Gap: The hosts debate whether modern audiences lack knowledge of past music due to information overload or easy access via Google, contrasting the limited competition of The Beatles' era with today's saturated market.
Hot Dog Restaurant Concept: The hosts brainstormed 'Oh Hot Dog,' a gourmet hot dog joint featuring injected condiments, deep-fried onion balls with random fillings (like gummy bears), and bone marrow chili.
Mike Ely's Special: Guest Mike Ely promoted his special 'Mike Ely: Night at the Comedy Cellar,' which he directed and edited himself after production companies said it couldn't be done. He also discussed his history with Mad TV and his move to LA.
