Show Transcript (First 20 minutes):
Hey guys this is Nobody’s Listening, everybody’s got a funny life story. It is the funny story podcast episode 213 project week of May 15, 2014. I am your host, my name is James Kennison and with me as always is John “Panera Idiot” Steinklauber, welcome back John.
John: [Laughing] thanks.
James: Remember when I used to do that and give you little…
John: Yes
James: …nicknames
John: Nicknames… based on something that I have said at some point in time.
James: Yeah, so the chat room helps me figure it out, they actually said Panera basket but I was like I can make that one better
John: [Laughing] Panera idiot, I mean the other guy is.
James: I mean that was last episode sometimes they all kinda run together for me so…
John: Yeah
James: Ok, so, hey, Christian, you heard me mention him on top of the show as one of the announcers, supporters, he gave not through Patreon but directly through PayPal and he gave $10 which means not only will you get mentioned but we would read something from him on the show, he said, “I don’t have any message I just want you to do knock-knock joke” so I pull through all the knock-knock jokes that I know that are good… which is zero and…
John: [Laughing]
James: …I mean there’s this interrupting cow, it’s really, really, really funny, the first time you hear it, um… you’ve never heard the interrupting cow?
John: I’m not sure, it kind of sounds familiar
James: Well I’ll tell you later if you haven’t heard that one but I do have one that’s really good…
John: Ok
James: … I’m going to do that to you, here we go alright, you start it though
John: Ok, knock-knock
James: Who’s there?
John: Um…
James: [laughing]
John: Your butt is there?
James: That’s knock-knock joke in the world, thank you so much.
John: Oh man it sucks.
James: Cue the cheers in the background, crowds laughing and cheering
John: Ha ha ha ha
James: Now I’ll do the cow, knock-knock
John: Who’s there?
James: The interrupting cow
John: The interrupting…
James: Moo! [laughing]
John: I didn’t think I did hear that one sounds familiar
James: [laughing]
John: No I just, when you interrupted and said moo
James: All the home school kids, they never get to hear jokes at all…
John: [laughing]
James: …except for their dads, so they’ll appreciate it.
John: Well, there you go
James: [Sighs]
John: I wanna think of a knock-knock joke except I can’t think of any.
James: There is not like ahhh… knock-knock
John: Who’s there?
James: Honey bee
John: Honey bee who?
James: Honey bee, a dear and get me a soda, I mean that’s, that’s average.
John: Oops! I just came up with one.
James: Alright.
John: Knock-knock.
James: Who’s there?
John; Do you want to build a snowman?
James: [Laughing]
Both: [Laughing]
James: That’s the saddest knock-knock joke ever ‘cause the answer is, “Go away Anna!”
Both: [laughing]
John: It’s shut up and stop singing the song.
James: Speaking of that song, I was gonna say this during the news segment but our good friend, Erik Fisher is a huge bacon enthusiast and I followed him on twitter, he talking about bacon all the time.
John: He is made out of bacon.
James: He is a son and daughter of a bacon couple and so he challenged us, oh he didn’t challenge, he challenged me whether he know it or not, he said somebody needs to do, must be done, needs to be a parody of Do You Want To Build A Snowman called Do You Wanna Cook Some Bacon and this week I decided to take that on as a personal challenge and I did that I remixed…
John: Did it in like 5 minutes
James: …the song, it did not take five minutes, it took all day but thank you and it sounded like it was done in 5 minutes but if you go to jameskennison.com and you go there and if its years in the future, search for cook bacon or whatever and you’ll hear me sing. It’s not just a parody about bacon, it’s a story.
John: Story
James: It is story about a man’s obsession with bacon…
John: It’s awesome.
James: …and how it destroys its marriage
John: So…
James: Because he’s so persistent with the need for bacon
John: [laughing]
James: It could be like self-narrative for somebody one day.
John: Yeah
James: Somebody might be able to avoid a lot of heartache and heartburn and clogged arteries if they go and listen to that song. So it’s not gonna be on iTunes for any amount of money so you gotta to go get it free over at jameskennison.com so there you go.
John: And it’s really, really good I gotta say.
James: So you have heard it.
John: Oh yeah.
James: Awesome.
John: Yeah, I liked it but I don’t like the one about the snowman.
James: I wanna redo it there was just some words that I would do differently like when he says “You used to cook me breakfast” and I would have liked him to say “You use to cook me bacon. Now it’s this that and the other. What was I supposed to do?” [mumbling] Whatever, whatever.
John: No, I like the whole breakfast bit of it, ‘cause the eggs and the toast and…
James: Yeah.
John: … it’s good, I liked it. I think I would like to see a video to it so.
James: I would like it too, I have nary a clue in the world what it would look like, it would either have to be fully produced with the characters and people and court scenes and stuff or it would have to be an animated, you know like Angry Orange or Annoying Orange or a piece of bacon and a mouth is just singing it, you know. One of the two.
John: Mr. Baconski.
Both: [laughing]
James: Did you get that? Cause that was her name Mrs. Baconski but you… but…
John: Oh! I haven’t seen the movie
James: No, no, no, no, [laughs] in my song, it’s all behind the scenes. At the very end the judge says Mrs. Baconski, but it’s spelled bacon-ski you know… pronounced
John: Yeah… I got that…
James: Ok
John: I didn’t know if it were like a play-off of one of the people’s names in the movie…
James: No, I just totally made it up based off bacon.
John: Awesome
James: Not real creative here, I mean I am, but within the boundaries of I didn’t have to think that hard kind of thing.
John: Men… it was… it makes me hungry for bacon.
James: Yeah it is good.
John: I might have some for breakfast.
James: Speaking about bacon, there’s a lot of folks in the chat room tonight and I wanna mention a few of them. Jesus is in there, did you see him?
John: What! No…
James: A guy named Jesus; he’s got a little Jesus icon…
John: I can see him…
James: He’s in there, Yanush is in there, Jacob and Pancake is in there doing good stuff, Guest773 and Weezy and John Steinklauber?
John: Michael Prince
James: Michael Prince!
John: Yeah, he called us party people
James: Awesome, so you know if you’re missing out and if you haven’t joined us live every Tuesday night or Thursday as it tonight at 9:30pm EST at then you’re missing out. Now, we’ve got a lot of content to get through because I’ve had a crazy week. John has also, I’m sure but I’ve got to get through it so let’s do some Weekly Updates here, I’ll start by saying… just a little one. My son and I have being reading books.
John: That’s good.
James: The goal was to get to 100 books before the end of the year and to do that we realized we needed to read one book a day for the rest of the year or two books and we would get it done in half the time, we’ve relentlessly, I mean every day, long story short we cleared that goal a couple of weeks ago. It’s really awesome and J’s is now convinced he can read every book in the planet. He doesn’t know that I carefully selected books that I can stand listening to him read and so most of them are fairly short, some of them were god-awful long like the equivalent of pre-school novels…
John: [laughs]
James: Seriously, I mean go back in your childhood and look up a Dr. Seuss book. Those things are like encyclopedias compared to books today.
John: I read them at least once a week to my son. In fact I read The Shape of Things tonight.
James: Well, that’s the thing; they were made to read to children…
John: Yes
James: …not to listen to kids read. There’s just too many made up words …
John: Oh! That’s the point that will be though
James: …oh it’s hard but anyway we got through it. And so my son is like, he sees one of my daughter’s books. He’s like, “I wanna read that, I wanna read that,” I’m like “You can’t read this,” you know, “It’s too hard.” He goes “Open it up and see how far I can go.” and so he opens it up. He looks the first page and he goes, “The… ok, I’m done.”
Both: [laughing]
James: And I’m trying to help him out, you know ‘cause its little hard you know. He’s probably crushed a little bit, his little ego. So I flipped through the book and I’m showing him all that closeness of the… you know, the smallness of the words, how many pages are and I say, “Man, this is a big person book. It’s really hard dude, so it’s not a big deal.” And he goes, “Well even if it was all ‘the’s’ it would be very hard to read…
John: [laughing]
James: And am like, “More than you know!”
John: [laughing] The the, the, the…
James: The the the the the the…
John: It’s making me crazy
James: It’s the verb book and it’s a very hard book to read so anyway…
John: The book is very hard to read, yeah
James: That’s all for me, that’s all. That was all the content. Your turn.
John: My turn, well, I wanted to give a Man Room update… cos if…
James: Whoo! Wait a minute. Can you qualify that? It’s a room that you’re hanging out in…
John: It’s like a man-cave also known as a man cave.
James: Man Cave is better than Man Room. Man Room denotes there are posters…
John: …of men! Yeah!
