CPP EP 245 - We Eclipses (Very Low) Expectations

Author: Carnival Personnel April 15, 2024 Duration: 1:03:22
Happy Tax Day – To those who pay them! Joe and Jacques flying solo, they chat this past weeks Eclipses, Joe’s kids being 1 of the 12 Angry Men in the high school play, and semi legit parenting tips (what?  Asshole OJ Simpsons dies (of Asshole cancer … as rare “W” for cancer). We chat seeing last two sideshow guest, Legendary Tony V and the very funny very busy producer, Dave Rattigan at a wanna-be Knights Of (not that) Columbus function hall on a beat up dead end industrial road in Arlington … and that show was awesome.  Jacques weekly 1v1 beatings from comedy mentor Mike Koutrobis continue and Jacques opened another Mike show with headline and at this point, legit pal, Steve Bjork. Chat some 2006 Doc Who and friend of podcast, C & O’s Dave FINALLY getting to see his beloved West Ham play live in London. Biff on Twitter is @BiffPlaysHockey Joe on Twitter is: @Optigrabber Jacques on Twitter is @CarnivalPodcast and FB @JacquesLambert   Opening: Gomer by Beyond Id    Closing Song: Struggly by Beyond Id (from The Stovin Years)

Ever feel like most conversations are too polished and miss the raw, funny chaos of real life? That’s the exact territory Carnival Personnel occupies. Hosts Biff, Jacques, and Joe have made it their unofficial mission to embrace the beautifully unrefined, treating each episode as a catch-all for whatever is on their minds or in the news. You’ll hear them riff on everything from pop culture and video games to sports and politics, often veering into delightful nothingness. The magic of this comedy podcast isn’t just in the hosts’ chemistry, though that’s a huge part of the appeal. Somehow, they also manage to pull in an incredible array of guests-renowned filmmakers, comic artists, authors, professors, and even the occasional lawyer or politician-all of whom get drawn into the same wonderfully low-stakes, high-laughs atmosphere. It feels less like a formal interview and more like eavesdropping on a hilarious conversation among very cool friends who aren’t afraid to be silly. Tuning in means joining a conversation where the standards are comfortably low but the entertainment value is consistently high, proving that the best discussions often happen when you stop taking yourself so seriously.
