CPP Ep 257 - Insert Halloween Pun Here

Author: Carnival Personnel October 7, 2024 Duration: 1:06:39
Jacques whose home screams Halloween year round … got a late start getting up the 12 ft skeletons and inflatables … but spend weekend making up for lost time (much to the neighbors chagrin.   The three of us do a much deeper dive into the Oreo Coke Zero and Coke Zero Oreo’s then anyone should.   The horrific flooding in parts of the country (followed by the horrific politicalizing the response) is treated different in Japan where, sadly, also parts of that country are experiencing the same flooding’s … but they do recognize the climate change having played hand in these disasters.   Is Shohei Ohtani the greatest baseball player off all time.  Yes.   We chat little video games, little TV, parenting times and … stuff.   Jacques on IG/FB: Carnivalpersonnelpodcast – TiKTok: JacquesFunny                  Twitter is @CarnivalPodcast @TheJacques4 Biff on Twitter is @BiffPlaysHockey Joe on Twitter is: @Optigrabber   Opening Song: Gomer by Beyond Id   Closing Song: Beyond Id – Tear Stained Eyes (THINK this was first recording Dan and Jacques … and some tool bag name PJ who jammed with us) and this is recorded on a boom box in basement of Dan’s dorm in early 1990    

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.
