Joe and Jacques chat the passing of Kevin Conroy aka THE voice of Batman.
Jacques is a HUGE fan of the ground-breaking show: Batman The Animated Series and the shows like Justice League and feature films like Mask Of The Phantasm that spun off of it.
Joe knows Conroy best from being the voice of Batman in the 3 Rock Steady Arkham games.
Fun chat about a guy who neither of us met but by all accounts was a really good dude and who brought a hell of a lot to Jacques’ beloved Batman universe.

Biff, Joe and Jacques exchange Thanks Undocumented Europeans Genocide Of Natives Giving Day. Been a couple weeks and this is a long one so make a sandwich of the left overs and buckle in … or play at 1.5 or 2x speed.
Jacques following up last Pods chat of taking his sons (12/15) to a drag show with Grandma (Kinky Boots) to this week with Management taking their kids to a spectacular Nightmare Before Christmas Burlesque show featuring the amazing band Walter Sickert & The Army Of Broken Toys! Jacques also yaps his day trip to Oh Canada with his 12 years old – boarder and parking hick-ups - $300 of great candy – being able to eat McDs fries – hanging with friends there and the horror of store NOT selling Molson but stocked on PBR? WHAT?!
Joe chats new Xmas special “Spirited” (Ryan Reynolds/Will Ferrell) and how he no longer can watch Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street with ANYONE he knows in the same zip code.
Biff breaks down some Japanese crime, some chop stick etiquette and fascination customs as well as a REAL parenting/life tip!
SOME world cup and sports talk … relax Jacques, no one is blaming YOU for Qatar’s human right awfulness.

So Dems hold Senate but (looks like) barely lost house … by still taking major victory lap for not losing too bad … I guess. Yep, could have been worse but some really awful POS still got re-elected and Biff and Jacques chat that.
Jacques’ Fox watching mom accidently took his 12-year-old to a drag musical and his managements (wife’s) year off following Duran Duran around the global ended with bitter sweet HOF induction show in LA (with horrible news about founding member Andy Taylor’s stage 4 cancer.)
Biff comes locked and loaded with Japan’s Bass Day history, a funny crime story and … why locked and loaded doesn’t happen much in Japan what with some few guns. (We smell a side show in the future).
Jacques LOVED Wakanda Forever but neither like the Boston Bruins signing (then unsigning) of a real piece of human garbage and wow … Elon is messing up twitter quicker then we all thought.

30-year touring comedian Jim Colliton chats with Joe and Jacques about coming up as a comic in Boston in the 90s and life as a touring comic today. “You do the comedy for free but get paid to travel.” And Jim travels … monthly 2 shows a day 7 days a week on cruise ships!
Joe and Jacques saw Jim at Luna Theater (inside Mill 5 in Lowell) at Greg Boggis’ Mondo Comedy. His written bits killed and his crowd work slayed! Jim talks about developing those two skills, being a dad and advice to fledging comings getting started … you know … like Jacques.
And being a insanely small world … Jim and Jacques turns out not just went to Fitchburg State at same time … but in October of 1989 were both on ice together trying out for the college hockey team!
Jim is also a staple at the comedy clubs around New England, check his website, get off your ass and get to a show … you’ll thank us!

Biff has grown up stuff to do today so poor Joe has to put up with Jacques’ ramblings by himself. Elon buys twitter and proves he is the d-bag we thought right out of the gate. IS next Tuesday the last somewhat legit electioons in USA history?
Joe and Jacques chat yet ANOTHER trip down the TV38 mid-80s rabbit hole that has become their happy place … Ask The Manager, We Don’t Knock. Jacques is going to try to track down Dana Hersey and get him on the podcast!
Some video game chat. A “real” parenting tip and more … oh …. Much much more.

Professor Cook joins us again and we make NO apologies for this being a god damn 2-hour chat about whether or not the Nov. 8th mid-Term elections will be the last semi-real elections we will ever have and DAMN IT I wish I was trying to be funny!
There is a chance we keep wanting Professor Cook on because it’s like we’re trying to get a free bachelor's degree in Civics. Truth be told … there is more thought that goes into these chats with the Professor then Jacques’ last 3 years at Fitchburg State … and he’s SOBER for these talks … so there is that.
We really love to make Professor Cook a 4th co-host! Or push him to have a podcast. Seriously these chats are therapy, informative and fun. I mean what’s not fun about the fall of Western Civilization, right? Right?????
Professor Cook is a MUST follow on Twitter at @ProfessorCook

Boys recap last weeks Sideshow with Kaylee Peterson the DEM Candidate in Idaho Congressional race and preview next weeks sideshow with Political Science Prof. Cook from University Of Pittsburg Johnstown
Jacques 53-year streak for avoiding the King Richards Faire came to an end. Management (aka his wife) said, “You’re going … and there is a cleavage competition” sssooo. Jacques also updates everyone who didn’t ask about his recent stand-up open mics.
Chat Elon (being forced maybe) into Twitter deal happening, the inspiring woman uprising in Iran and Biden federally pardoning folks for simple weed possession.
Chat some video game stuff and Joe’s latest awesome “finds” in his old hoarder landlords pile. And Biff has a nothing shocking Japanese crime story!
Sports … aka cheating scandals NOT involving the NE Patriots! Chess and Fishing .. who knew we cared … but we do. We really do.

Kaylee Peterson is an incredible person who is the democratic candidate for congress in Idaho. Kaylee took time out of her insanely busy campaign schedule (and mom of two schedule) to chat with Joe and Jacques. Kaylee is running for all the right reasons and we hope Idaho knows how much they need her. There are NO Plan Parenthoods in Kaylee’s district of over 500 square miles. Idaho is 51st (not a typo) 51st in education and the incumbent republican (who proudly identifies as a white Christian nationalist) is pushing for ZERO exceptions (even to save life of the mother) forced pregnancy laws. Kaylee’s opponent WILL NOT debate her. He scared how smart, well-spoken and sound Kaylee’s policies are for ALL Idahoans.
YOU CAN HELP. Donate, phone bank on Wednesday … Donate!
Check out Kaylee on her socials. She has a GREAT clip requesting her opponent debate her that is a must see (and must LIKE and FORWARD!)

Hey, you hear the one about the Jewish guy from the Jersey shore, a son of an honest to goodness bonified WW2 hero, who was living in a Mennonites community and working at a production facility owned by the Moonies when he was (mistakenly) recruited by the KKK … Well … you’re about to. And it’s all true.
Woody has been buddies with Biff and Jacques since Bill Clinton’s first term … and Woody is hilarious but NO one can make up the stories Woody has lived … on and off the ice (Woody’s a goalie).
Woody is one of our favorite follows on the socials (as the kids say).
Woody chats all the above plus some fun hockey stories about Jacques, Bobby Hull Jr, his foray into the world of Tik Tok stardom and his 30-year battled with the scientology owned Earthlink … again … we’re not kidding.
And what would be a Carnival Personnel Podcast without some tech issues … there was a slight delay with Woody sometimes which gave Jacques a chance to talk over him like the jerk he is.

Joe won the “cleaning out horder landlards trash” lottery this week finding a 1983 WORKING Coleco ADAM family Computer (game system) as well as a Superman Coco mix pack (also from 1983) and … and … a non-dated “hermetically sealed” box of Cott Instant Tom Collin’s Mix!
Biff talks a BIG Non-Katana related yakusa crime story!
Chat some Chris Ellott on Letterman rabbit hole and the 1982 Sitcom that aired ONCE but lived in Jacques had rent free ever since, OPEN ALL NIGHT.
Chat a little awful – FLA gov kidnapping people and sending them to Martha’s Vineyard … and racist game show host and Brett Faverarara being a POS theif stealing money from poorest of the poor in Mississippi.
