39 years later Jacques FINALLY watched Blade Runner. Biff creates a new way to see if Jacques can tell Japanese woman apart with a new game called Find The Porn Star. Seems the last administration DIDN’T fix the millennia old middle east problems and the GOP redefines the term “field trip”. Jacques drives by his old girlfriends (sports radio) house to remind himself how he’s over them/it. The NHL playoffs week one hasn’t disappointed and FINALLY some video game talk as Resident Evil 8 has been played and The unlimited magnum has been unlocked! Biff’s 21 year old son AND Jacques both recommend “Invincible” on Amazon Prime, some almost legit parenting tips and the TRUE moment Joe touched the sun with his CP version of the Welcome Back Kotter theme (NOT the WKRP theme as Jacques prefaced in the show (shut up Richard!)

Tom Rogan, successful television producer (founder of Authentic Entertainment) turned successful Chocolatier (and longtime friend of Jacques) chats how not only do people buy $16 candy bars … but he can NOT keep up with demand. Tom and Jacques’ worlds intersect at the corners of dog rescue, survivors of working with Billy Ray Cyrus and as unofficial co-presidents of the Julian Edelman fan club. Tom shares amazing stories of the plan he and his wife Monica hatched in 2010 to turn their hobby into a business that wouldn’t just support their family but open up true opportunities in the communities all over Central and South America where they ethically source their beans from. Oh … and turns out Dr. Fauci is a fan of Tom’s chocolates as well.

If you like the song Tutti Frutti (and who doesn’t you’ll LOVE this week’s Self-Indigent flash back with Joe from Ep. 140 doing John Oliver singing Little Richard! NHL playoffs are upon us but first a visit via Crapitols and Rangers to Slat Shot style hockey from the days of old … Jacques recommends strongly Netflix’ “This Is A Robbery” , parenting tips AND the debut of the NEW Dan Cray and Beyond Id song “Buidling The Wall.” What move can you want … well … we ain’t giving it to you … this week.

Biff manages to find the strength to record AFTER getting on the ice the night before for first time in over a year! Biff manages to find the strength to record for a 2nd time this weekend as Jacques really Jacques’d up the original recording from the day before! Biff talks paying a birthday visit to the founder of FNH and godfather for So. Cal hockey Paul. Jacques yaps his latest first script FIRST table read this past week as well as him being a guest on a Qatari based business/sports podcast (Jim Mackie - In The Game) and his advice on making a movie guaranteed to get Oscar noms, DC state hood moves forward IF Joe Manchen gets out of his party’s way and MORE heinous crime in Japan, ONE of which is that Hello Kitty fell to #8 in a recent poll of Sanrio characters! Jacques introduces his 10 year old to Tommy Boy AND continues his goal of owning record for most viewing of End Game. Biff loves this new show call The Mandalorian. Parenting tips AND as usual, this episode’s highlight is a Joe Self-Indulgent theater (From Ep. 105 6/24/19) Singing Under Pressure as Paul Lynde and Gilbert Gottfried.

Christmas in April, as Joe makes his triumphant return to CPP on this supersized episode. If you were looking to hear what two middle-aged white dudes and a middle-aged Asian guy’s thoughts are on the passing of DMX and Little Nas X’s twitter timeline were, you came to the right place! With all the time Matt Gaetz spends with teenage girls, you’d think one of them would have shown him how to make his Venmo transactions private. Also seems the GOP are the new kings of Cancel Culture as they try to pull the plug on corporate America because they don’t like that we don’t like that they are Making Jim Crow Laws Great Again. The MBL moves the All-Star game from Atlanta and the Texas Rangers remove hopes of a smart covid plan from Texas. We do a deep dive, play by play analysis on the Japan Crime Wave clip Biff shared, yap Kong vs. Godzilla, a Self-Indulgent theater from the vault and more parenting tips. Oh, we don’t really know what NFTs are but we do a bad job explaining them! Its really a big day for the listeners!

Make the calls. Make the calls. Make the calls.
This week Biff and Jacques welcome longtime friend Al to chat his decades long career of selling happiness. Al is the quintessential, old school sales guy whose products and work ethics turned out to be recession proof and even covid proof. He specialized in selling licensed character goods to the party stores and dollar tree type stores.
Al talks his biggest sellers, the can’t miss products that did miss and the “who would by this junk” that flew off the shelves.
Al liked his profession. He liked who he worked with and for … sure curve balls now and then … but overall, this chat exemplifies how if you like what you do for a living, life ain’t all that bad.
Personal note: It’s pals like Al and talks like this that make me super home sick for So. Cal and FNH.

I wish we could just have a pure yuk fest podcast that’s fun and light … we plan them that way … then a couple sick fcks commit horrific acts of domestic terrorism, GOP committed to raging war on black voters… we lose a couple actors working on some favorite shows … Jacques’ kids teacher resigns over being forced to return to in person teaching BEFORE being vaccinated … add to fact the podcast audio guy SUCKS … ugh. Bad wire has an annoying buzz whole Sorry all.
WE DO talk some fun stuff: Jacques’ 1st quarterly update on his goal set for 2021, and his former responsibilities of handing LA King ticket distribution for our paly John, Biff talks the magic of Tom Lee Jones Japanese TV commercials and upcoming summer Olympics and WILL Jacques go to a theater for Kong v. Godzilla this week? We DID remember to not just talk about a Joe’s Self-Indulgent theater but to edit it in this week! Jacques chats a little Zack Snyder Justice League and Biff chats WNHL playoffs and a hot mic NHL ref boo boo.
Also, follow @DanteTheComic on Twitter who is fun and every night is on front line of showing the awfulness of LAPD towards blacks and homeless.

When the world goes sideways (natural disasters, once in a century pandemic made 10x worse by lack of empathy and leadership) … everyday people (metaphorically) put on tights and capes and fly to the rescue. This week’s guest is one of those heroes. Our friend Abby whom helped an AMAZING local charity organization do INCREDIBLE things from the very onset of the March 2020 Covid shut down. LLAMA (Lifting Lowellians: Assistance and Mutual Aid) is the organization Jacques’ families been working with since last April and have again learned that the friends you make, the good you feel … volunteering is one of the most selfish things you can do! Abby’s “day job” in social work and history of advocating for those whose voices aren’t often heard, led us to chat tips on how to get involved, where to find ways to help and how to help direct people to the resources out there. There is almost zero talk of Batman or fart jokes … our apologies.

Things come in threes and Biff and Jacques yap 3 anniversaries this week: the 1 Year anniversary of the Covid 19 (two week) lock down, the 10 year anniversary of the Japan Tsunami and the 3rd (arguably most tragic of the anniversaries) the 7year anniversary of management’s wedding to Jacques (that Biff officiated .. so really, it’s ALL his fault!) HEY Good News … turns out America doesn’t have a monopoly on being racist POS and damn it, I DO care about the Oprah interview. WTF is a Ghost Kitchen? The husband of Dr. Jill Biden THANKFULLY got his Covid rescue package past and signed. Mario turns 35, Pre-Photoshop sports cards, Japan crime and non-Japanese Japanese dessert (?), Jacques coaches on how to watch 5 movies in one night, parenting tips and a “Self-Indulgent Theater” of Joe from the CP vaults! All this in ONE hour? NO. but if you play it at 1.5 speed, well under!

This week’s sideshow Biff and Jacques’ guest Matt, has a dead-end job. Yet, there is a lot of stiff competition at his work. You know how sometimes living people become not living people … since his early teens, Matt’s worked in the LEGAL (important to point that out) body removal business. Working at the funeral home his grand-dad started, Matt is the funniest guy to drive a hearse since Michael Keaton in Nightshift. Matt also rocks the mic as a college sports PA announcer and can’t wait to get up on stage doing stand-up post covid. So, stretch out on the embalming table and listen to talk about how stacking caskets is a high stakes game of Jenga!
