CPP EP 250 - Stunt Biff Has Left The Building!

CPP EP 250 - Stunt Biff Has Left The Building!

Author: Carnival Personnel June 24, 2024 Duration: 1:04:00
Biff and Jacques fly solo this week – chatting Jacques recent comedy adventures: Opening and hosting for ex NHL ref Mark Riley and another show with Steve Bjork where after, Jacques Mom let’s Steve know he is very funny and should stick with this comedy thing. The only thing worse then everything in your house breaking at once is a repair person who tries bullying your wife into writing a better review as you catch him in the act of trying to mark up a part 600%. Jacques has a St. Louis trip and a few weeks coming up then a few weeks in LA – doing comedy, yes.  Play hockey … we’ll see. Very little talk about the (hopefully but unlikely) jail time in Spray Tan Comb Overs July 11th sentencing … but then onto Stanly Cup and Celtics championship yapping.

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.
