All the time, once or twice? Once Okay, yeah. round table. I have the docs. I'm the one who knocks. Oh my god. Right. We have saved a chair for you our listener and we've also saved a chair here at the roundtable for our guest this evening. Marvis Harvey here we are at the comedy roundtable. Jamie, Jamie and Adam immediately adjacent to the punch line comedy club in Atlanta, Georgia landmark diner format of the show has changed since the last time you were with us. You are one of our early guests. Yes. Different format of the show. It's good to have you back one of the very few second timers friend of the show. You're officially how crazy is this that you guys didn't have to book me? I was just here. It's crazy. That Well, that's the benefit. That's why we do it next week. We're glad you're here because the guy that's sitting over there drinking the Martini was going to be our next bet and he literally just tasted the martini with a straw that lets you know he's in for a good time. Yeah. He's ready to party. format of the show is we present to you topics. You choose those topics they were not all of the topics will be used. You only choose the topics one at a time. Okay. All right. So your topics for this evening are Sesame Street lessons. Okay, worst song lyric ever. Okay, or dog ate my homework. You know, as crazy. I tried to use dog ate my homework, knowing that I was allergic to dogs. So let's go with that dog ate my homework, starting with Adam. All right. So the dog ate my homework is a situation where is usually used as an excuse not to have done something right, exactly. But every once in a while, I'm sure there was a kid whose dog actually did eat his homework. And the teacher was like, That is trite. Like, that's the worst excuse ever. Come on. So the question becomes, is there ever been a situation where you were being honest, but no one believed you? Oh, listen, I'm a barber. Okay, a husband. Okay. So you've been I'm a husband. Let me just go back. I made a husband you have told the truth and she told me the most outlandish truths. And they've come back scathed not unscathed. I mean, gave because she did not believe it. Right. But it was the truth. It was a damn sure. And she just didn't believe you though. Maybe because I've told other lies, but hey, not did not know. That case. Not case. Look out person I was I said no. Stop it. We got wine. Yeah, ma'am. Yeah, that's it. We had wine wine. Yeah, that's all we did. See how they looked at each other. They didn't even believe it. Damn it. Yeah, well, I believe it. Which now what? Now with that? Oh, now you go with the vocal. Yeah. And I'm telling you the truth is, that's exactly what his wife did when he said, I looked away because every time I look at you, you stare into my soul. And I'm trying to like, oh, he looked, he looked over to the map. He's looking for me for defense, I would actually say that. I would find very believable. A superhero whose power was uncomfortable eye contact. Oh, that was it. That's their only power you have to do. They don't break it. They don't break the eyesight. You got to take it a step further. They make the eye contact. If you break it. They defeat you. Huh? Right. So it's not staring man. It's not like exactly. Medusa there's a staring man. What if you okay, I don't want it Jamie told me not to get as distracted this episode as I've been in past episodes. So I have a question that I'm hoping to work back into. I think Jamie your question. Alright. So of course, as Adam said, The dog ate my homework is a typical excuse, right? It's unfairly given canines the reputation for being anti education. I think for far too long. So that ends tonight. Stop so we dogs don't fuck with homework. Now. They do not know they would eat your homework. Why would they do that? Dogs can eat a lot of things in the house, but they choose to eat your homework that lets you know, they rockin with it. They they're not working. They're not rocking with hard work. That's right. Because they want you to have fun. All they want is your happiness. They just want you happy. But and we all know what's the cat. What would anybody is destroying the homework? It's the cat. The cat would spit up your homework because it doesn't keep anything. No, no. It's like hairball. Yeah. So you could report it back. Actually, remember when I told you that the cat ate my homework? Actually, I got here we go. Here we go. Good news. But the question the question I have is, what would the cat do with the homework? I don't think the cat would eat homework I think the cat would do something more mischievous or conniving cats are Listen, cats are probably the most strategically petty creatures on earth. Yes. I think cats would change your answers. They wouldn't eat the homework. They would just change your answers eg Klee Petey would like to see? Yeah, not be right, right. I think a cat would actually get an actual eraser to change your answers. Right? I can see a cat. When you think about it, like the strategically any animal, there is no more strategically petty. No, no, I was just thinking like in the entire animal kingdom. That's pettier than a cat. Yeah, no, no, no animal is more petting a cat. There's cats and ghost. Those are the two most petty things on earth. You think ghosts are petty ghosts are so petty they stay on Earth to let you know that they were wrong that they died. They want to keep keep telling you. They want to keep their house. My house. Did you hit the ceiling? Did you hit that work? Actually, you see how petty these ghost ghosts are? That's the first paranormal experience we actually had. So I actually would trust a cat to do my homework. Because I would have figured they've taken algebra nine times. Very good. The night that is the best dad joke. I should write that down. Right. I'm not sure that no, no, that boy brothers do that. We're brothers do that. Extend the boy. Oh, that's a good one. Boy. That joke right there. That was it. That's a dad joke. That joke that's fully formed. I mean, that came out like a cocoon. Like it was like a hungry Hungry Caterpillar. eaten all that. This was it. Swans, swans, another animal that's even close to what's the Okay, so it's just cat. I think squirrels are petty. No, I would say squirrels. I don't think I think but no, that's. That's it. And strategic planning? Yes. That's long term. Yes. Squirrels should be your actual investment advisors. Yes, yes. Oh, yeah, absolutely. If I was starting an investment company, I will call it squirrel. Okay. Squirrels are going to embezzle from you. Because they're gonna go hey, you're right. They're going to take money out of somebody else's account. Oh, steal from the bird feeder. The problem is look, they may take it from you. But to get it back, you just shouldn't their cheeks just comes right back out. And when the government comes back, zap my calling out of your mouth rages chip to chip in embezzlers. That's why they had a plane. I never thought of that. Chipmunks afford a plane. I didn't ship it the other four because they were embezzling because they were stealing people's money. You know what, you know what are adorable? They were actually they were actually drug runners, or the Colombian Colombians. And they were embezzlers because they had a mixture of the two little did people know that the Rescue Rangers were based out of Miami. They're constantly running adventures in random places. Yeah, so it's never the same route twice. Can't be tracked. Da has no idea. Oh my gosh. Did we just find out that Chippendale Oh, Colombian drug runners and invent oh my god, I don't want to be this conspiracy. But I will point out I don't know which one of them. One of them's nose is pretty red, like oh, it strung out. Dell does a lot of testing the product. He's the one he's the one in the actual shirt. Not the one no eight. The one in the in the in the bomber jacket. He's the one who's lit all the time. All of my memories associated with chipmunks is Alvin and his brothers. Chippendale was drug runners. I think they were under investigation. That's why they that's why they lay low for them. 30 years. Yeah, it was hot for a while. He's got hot. Too hot. You get too hot. You live in Miami. You got a bomber jacket and a hat. Second adventures wearing such good nuts. Well, we talk too much attention to get nuts. Not just metaphorically. Yeah, Chip. calm us down.

Are you are you ever on also on Discovery plus is HGTV Are you going to do a crossover episode with Ghost brothers On Property Brothers? I'm trying to do every crossover one I'm trying to be Allen Iverson out here on Discovery plus crossing everything over breaking and breaking ankles breaking ankles I like it yes dead earlier we had a paranormal experience as and it's gonna be interesting if it even shows oh it should oh no it's gonna show because there was a paranormal the ghosts were trying to talk to a city you think ghosts follow you on Instagram?

I'm a I'm a friend to ghosts friend to go so whatever it goes want to do to show themselves when I'm around. I allowed so let me ask you this your ghost experience than I am. Yeah. Do you have to acknowledge the existence of ghosts for ghosts to be Effective, you have to be looking or focus on the atmosphere that you're in to recognize that it goes there. That could be goes here. I why we had something like the joint. So so if I was a non believer and ghost it would be harder for me to have a paranormal, paying attention because I'm not I'm not but if I'm highly attuned to the presence of ghosts, then I might see ghosts everyplace. Yeah, if you're a freak, you're gonna see a freak. Come on, now you know about it. So it's like you drive a Toyota Camry. You're gonna see Toyota Camry. You're gonna see every time you say I want to buy a new Audie lousy blood every every time. Well, everybody's got one. How did everybody Miss Johnson?

All right, our remaining subjects our worst song lyric ever. Or Sesame Street lessons. Sesame Street lessons. I'm a PBS Kids So alright, that's your choice. Alright, Sesame Street lessons starting with Adam. So one of the songs that came out of Sesame Street was Who are the people in your neighborhood? Right when you think about the neighborhood you grew up? What were the people in your neighborhood and do you remember any specific characters from your neighborhood? Yes, there is my friend. Yeah, we bow so boom Pantone Pantone to Novato bom bom panto Allah Thank you Gwinnett County. Okay, aka Loma Heiko. Okay.

His family bought the next three townhouses. Oh, connected them. I don't know if they broke the wall down or so. I don't know if they could have walked I stole cable from them. I will say that. Okay. You will say that I will say that I still cable for our whole neighborhood our whole block for at least five years of my life from the adjacent one or did you have to go all the way over sometimes? Sometimes their cable was down and I go get the cable box box. Right. The actual box? Yep. This is that's your limitations. Wait. You're a lawyer. Can I get trouble for this?

She didn't give me two like here's one for the road. A little boy likes bread. Alright, Sesame Street lessons. So Sesame Street was missing a key element. Okay, a villain. And so if you were writing the next season of Sesame Street, what sort of villain would you add to the show? And I do have a follow up question. Oh, it'd be a landlord. Oh, a landlord. It'd be a landlord. It'd be like his name be Jeremy Jeremy the landlord.

Yeah, we'll always because he was a drummer. Yeah. Animal.
