Isn't That Special
What could be more pointless than ANOTHER Podcast? How about one that's focused on the grating and tediously over-populated world of streaming stand-up comedy 'specials'? Can we sweeten the pot by making the hosts two old gits whose love of comedy and social relevance have long since faded to nothingness? If that sounds like just the thing you're looking for then boy do we have 30-40 minutes of your listening time to waste that you'll never get back! Hosts are Bill and Mark and tech production and artistic direction is by Christian. We'll only publish full names when we hit 10K subscriptions and start to monetize.

S2 Ep 28Review: Domestic Shorthair, Todd Barry
The always contentious subject of Apple Cider Vinegar kicks us off with discussions of service dogs and AARP membership to add further spice. This week's comedy 'review' is of the 2023 special Domestic Shorthair by Todd Barry. Currently available on Tubi or Youtube: Domestic Shorthair .You should watch it before listening to the review. Theme music: El Cha Cha Man by Juanitos. Juanitos, led by Juan Naveira, is the single French rock'n'roll and soul band mixing latin soul, exotica, acid jazz, punk, vocal pop and sometimes reggae roots in the Jackie Mittoo style. They are very good.
