I’m going to leave the conversation a diabetic

Warning, you are about to listen to the greatest radio show ever!

And due to contractual obligations and to shield our airwaves and corporate licensees

from any semblance of liability, responsibility, and gullibility, we must tell you the views

represented on this show are not necessarily those of this station or its management.

This radio show contains differing points of view on current political topics, and due

to the nature of its contents, it should be heard by everyone.

Thank you for listening.

Now live from the Devil Radio Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, where the political party is just

beginning.

Welcome to the Devil's Advocate Show.

Friends proving it's never personal, only politics.

Welcome back to the Devil's Advocates Radio Show, the Tuesday we're going on Thanksgiving

vacation, even edition.

So we're gone tomorrow, we've got a best time, but come Thursday, made a little special

effort.

I'm going to play the CJ tapes, similar to the crack in tapes, but my conversation with

CJ earlier today, it is enlightening and some way shape or form.

You will be surprised, you may be shocked, you may laugh, we'll be cry.

I think all emotions were experienced during the course of one short hour, edited down

for radio, it would be like 42 minutes, it's worth your time investment.

So Thanksgiving day, we'll play that out.

And Dom, we've got time for perhaps early Thanksgiving grievances.

I got to tell you, I'm not a turkey or a ham guy, I've told my wife, please, no turkey

for me.

So like the turkey, you're like a tofu guy, I mean, what's your meat on a Thanksgiving

guy?

I would prefer goose, like tiny Tim, I'd take a tiny Tim goose before I took that turkey

man.

I'm just not a turkey guy.

I like the dark meat okay, you know, it's round anything and enough, you know, dressing

it will be fine.

So you're just pouring gravy over it, just that can meet with starch in it, that's

you don't forget about the mashed potatoes with a pound of butter, I mean, you know,

very specific.

No, but you'll have lots of butter for Thanksgiving, let's just be honest.

You know, my favorite is that spicy prime rib from the meat place in Lodi, that's, that's

my stuff.

You get the other night, that was tasty.

That is my special sauce, but you can't be eating something like that like more than

once a week, man.

No, no, I've already gained more than a couple of pounds and I think it was just that dinner

that night.

Oh, that was like a pork loin, sort of a lighter, it's the other light meat, that's what

you're going to eat for Thanksgiving, a pork loin, a little crunchy on the outside,

a little searing and then cooked there.

That was my preference.

I told my, my lovely message.

She never cooks at the house, but when we go up to the cabin, she likes to cook.

844, in case you have cooking stories for me, 844, that's, this went off the rails

quickly.

I can make a mean bowl of lucky charms, man.

I've seen that video, Wisconsin Supreme Court, her oral arguments today, it kind of went

off the rails early, at least Rebecca Bradley showed her true colors, like just a mere

seconds into the pleatings, six seconds into opening statements.

She interrupted the attorney.

People try not to interrupt you, Haas, 844, 9672789, how you doing, fella?

Hey, Mike.

What am I on?

Yeah, you're on the radio.

You're on the radio.

You're on the radio.

What happened to Taco Tuesday's?

Well, what is this all session with stuff here?

What's going on?

It's been supplanted by Wisconsin Supreme Court oral argument Tuesday's and then the weird

random happenstance that I would record in an interview with C.J. for like an hour

today.

Let's address the prior, for Rebecca, Rebecca, who walks around with a name like Grassley

Bradley?

I mean, who needs the double last name with the word Grassley?

She beat the lambspeed record of the road runner.

She just needs to look at YouTube and check out the German Supreme Court in the days of

Hitler.

Yeah, I said that.

I did there.

I went there.

I did that.

Check out how long it took the Supreme Court guys to trash the plaintiffs, but at least they

let them introduce themselves, say their names and their position.

Which in German takes a lot longer than in English.

So I think Becca Grassley Bradley meets or beats.

I think she needs to make an application to Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum for a world

record.

It was pretty quick, Mike.

No plus.

Scott Bob Ross paints a nice picture of doom.

I agree with him.

I want to be thankful.

I want to be thankful to the Mr. and Mrs. Crudy, Mr. and Mrs. Salvia for giving us the

doms and the cruts of the world who keep us sane and makes whatever the hell we eat

on Thursday.

In our case, it's going to be duck.

I didn't know duck was an option on the menu, Mike.

You're serving duck.

If you want goose, I can do that, but we're going to replace the first letter of that one.

Guys, you've been a blessing to us to this society.

As you know, I'm the Debbie Downer of this society.

I'm not helpful, but I just want to say on your Thanksgiving Eve show, thank you.

Mother is listening to you at the other room.

She will be 97 next week.

I hope I get her there.

Shout out, Annelise.

Have her birthday, Annelise.

Have her Thanksgiving.

She hopes she gets you.

She's going to drag your ass in the next week.

That's more likely, Mike.

Please continue.

Between her and you guys, I don't know, is keeping us alive, but thank you so much.

The whole fissious most thing, I'm just surprised at Becca, Grassley, Brad, Louise,

Landspeed record, how quick she was to get to the point, because if you look at the YouTube

vids, so the guys doing that, they have funnier hats, their voice, our shriller, it's black

and white, but it's creepy, and I think she beat them today.

That is a great historical reference, Mike, in a little echo there in the background,

must be Annelise.

And, you know, I'm glad it's a happier, happier for you, my friend, so I'm like, you

had a couple.

Thanks, Mike.

That's how we all get through the fascism.

I hope you're supposed to beat an alcohol.

That's how you deal.

Oh, man, we got to call us.

We share, man, this is what we do.

We talk about it on the radio.

We're going to be having some tough conversations, presumably some of us, right?

We're going to get together with the family, and perhaps that uncle or that relation that

may have different ideas about what fascism is, and whether or not Nazi should be able

to just march on a pole, down the streets of Madison, Wisconsin, yeah, I look forward

to perhaps some enlightening conversations.

But, crude, you got to tell you, man, you're the one that did the convo with CJ that

we're rolling out as a Thanksgiving special, man, you got to, you got any advice for those

of us who may have to address some perhaps difficult political situations with relatives.

Well, it's always a good idea to start out with a bottle of red, a bottle of white, some

addibles, and, you know, give yourself some time, because sometimes those addibles take

a wild kick.

I mean, from the Italian restaurant where you Billy Joel, what a Billy Joel today.

So yeah, when you sat down with CJ, were you drinking at the studio, man?

I was not.

I was not.

I was not going to do a radio show.

I might start drinking.

All right.

All right.

And again, you know, but, you know, these aren't going to be difficult situations, especially

with, you know, relatives.

Well, if it's the first beer of the night, I love having a conversation with a guy drinking

his first or second into maybe the third beer, but if the guy's tear and open his second

case for the evening, you know, I'm going to, I'm not going to argue with that guy.

That guy's made up his mind.

Let's just say what if they take that case of Bud Light out back and shoot it up?

Still not arguing with that logic, you know what I mean?

But I'll pick your battles, I guess, would be your point.

I think there is a common ground that we can find.

The question is, do we want to find it or do we think we're trying to win the argument?

Because if I wanted to win the argument with CJ, I kind of shut them down several times

and argued facts and figures and that and that.

I wasn't trying to win per se.

Now I did have an agenda.

I did want to see if I could make that man sound like a human being and I tell you, man,

it's a heavy lift.

But I think you'll keep saying a human being, again, I have not, like, when you've referred

to someone acting like a human being, I mean, obviously we're all human beings, Michael.

So what is the characteristic, seemingly a positive characteristic that you have there?

You say someone, they're true human being.

Well, okay.

What does that mean?

Like what makes the person a real true human being?

Well, if you ever showed any vulnerability, you might hear me.

I would say, you know, low vulnerability, a little emotion, a little, you know, slowing

down, being introspective.

That is my only advice.

It's not you that's going to change anybody's mind.

Certainly not you.

It's not you.

No, you're not going to change their mind.

But here's what you could do.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, you could slow them down and make them wonder, well, how is it

that I came to that conclusion?

And if you can slow them down and make them be introspective, I think that's the secret

sauce.

I think that we can have human, air quotes, human conversations with people.

If we make them slow down, why did you feel that way?

Well, somebody called me a gayslare and third grade on the playground.

So you're stuck in third grade on the playground.

You know, you're grown, grown human being now.

Give yourself permission to move beyond that thought.

So anyways, CJ moved beyond a few of his ingrained biases and actually told me how CJ feels.

Because there's plenty of time he's rolling out talking points.

I'm like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, I don't want to hear him.

I don't want to hear him.

I don't do math on the radio.

It's not convincing to me.

Well, man, I'll just concede your math.

Whatever you just said, I'll, I'll 18 plus 22 equals 40 or 400 billion.

Whatever you said, I'll believe your math.

But I'm not going to do the math.

Tell me what you think about immigrants.

Tell me about your experience as a union member, card carry and union member, CJ.

You don't add about the man.

Any any reflection on your own crew, anything that you thought about came around and shared with CJ to make you a human being.

Uh, yes, I shared a very human story about the day my mom died and I did so to see if I could make CJ cry.

No, I, I just wanted CJ to know I've been through some stuff.

Yes, yes, continue to go through some stuff.

Since I've known you mostly, yes, you're welcome.

The devil's advocates rock and roll political commentary in a top 40 world.

Yeah, welcome back to the devil's advocates radio show phone lines are open.

Join us at eight four or nine six seven two seven eight nine.

Kevin Boseman, a comedian going to join us at the bottom of the hour crew.

He's new buddy from downstairs at the comedy club on state street in Madison.

Look forward to meeting Kevin.

Well, he's doing a show tomorrow night time.

You know, sort of his pre-thanks given tradition.

You know, I think I'm a funny guy some days, some days, some days.

Don't make me do comedy dumb.

Yeah, as long as you don't sing.

Well, early Thanksgiving, political grievances are otherwise eight four four nine six seven two seven eight nine.

Don't let Jack, don't make the, uh, giblet gravy is all I would say.

Watch your giblets, fella.

Yes, yes, I'll tell you what, I'll make the old fashions,

I'll pour the drinks, but I am not cooking the food.

You know, a friend of ours, uh, Andy Buck, he's

shown off today, took a picture of his dashboard.

He's got us on the radio, listening up there on the Ashkash air supports.

Oh, right.

I assessed in the 98.3 FM.

And I'm thinking to myself, well, if today is a special day,

and you take a picture of the dashboard, how many days are you not listening to us, Andy?

That today would merit the picture.

So happy Thanksgiving to the Buck family.

I think he's a county supervisor and turned it into a big shot.

Busy man doesn't have time for the devils anymore.

Except on rare occasions.

Oh, it's the holiday week.

You know, I can always squeeze a little time.

Eight four four nine six seven two seven eight nine can squeeze your calls in perhaps as well.

Uh, Dom, I don't know if you know, but it appears Donald Trump has made it clear.

He doesn't like a lot of Americans and roots against us.

Now we know that is members of the president.

Oh, man, he always calls us the enemy of the people, Michael.

Uh, Dominic Washington Post reporter Carol Linnig told NBC it was clear that Donald Trump's

rooting against some Americans that he doesn't like.

I root against you sometimes, Dom.

Mostly on Sundays.

The comments came in a New York Times report detailing Trump's rise to power on the backs of

what were largely external threats like immigrants in Muslim countries.

Now he's targeting Americans themselves as his bourbon.

He talked about protecting, for example, Americans from having to fight endless wars.

And he would work to stop that Linnig recalled.

Now his rhetoric has moved more into the vein of rooting out what he described the other day

as vermin inside the country, an internal threat.

She called it a kind of way station between the 2016 and 17 and the campaign today.

Yeah, a little difference in verbiage.

And that way station was, while he was president, it was clear that Donald Trump was

edging towards this place that he is now the dark place, the dark side, Dom.

Now, how'd you like to be at the Trump probably thanksgiving and Marilago I would suspect staying

out of New York primarily these days?

How'd you like to be at the Trump thanksgiving?

What do you think they're serving?

Hembringers for all.

Just to be around the man would not be attractive.

A good option for me.

I just don't know that I would feel welcome.

And I don't know that I would want someone to dictate how many scoops of ice cream that I may have.

Well, then don't go to Marilago, Chris Christ.

This is what I'm saying.

Here's Linnig's final quote.

What he made clear is he was not the president for all Americans.

Most presidents, in fact, all of them before Donald Trump made an effort to unite the country,

even though they may have been elected by one party's faithful or another.

They still try to encourage and enable and kind of an essence.

Charm the other side and say, I'm the president for all of you.

Donald Trump made it clear during his presidency that he actually didn't like some of the people.

He didn't support them.

He rooted against them openly.

Now, closer to home, Don,

does that remind you of any former governor of the state of Wisconsin?

Sort of a divide and conquer fella?

Well, the only former governor I can recall actually using the term divide and conquer is, of course,

former governor Scott Walker.

Dominic, now she says, Carol Linnig from the Washington Post,

Trump has led the country to a place where someone, with 91 felony charges,

he's saying he'll look out for some of its own citizens.

He'll look out for some of us, damn.

Only the loyal supporters will he look out for.

I don't think there's any surprise there, is there?

I mean, I've never, I mean, Trump's never been the type to,

even in fur in any way, shape or form that he was the president of all people.

You know what I'm saying?

He might, he might think he's your king, but he's certainly not the president of all people.

I didn't find him to be the president of all.

In fact, I never declared he was my president.

What was it?

Hashtag not my president?

So is there any different when the Trumpsters and the Megas say that about Biden now?

I would say I just don't understand where it comes from.

And I told you, I first saw this sort of sprinkling of Joe Biden heat

at the Des Moines rally a couple of years ago.

You were not with me, but they're on Saturday night against,

I, well, I was state football game, you know, an hour down the road and I was city.

And I couldn't understand where the animus for Joe Biden was coming from.

It was the Let's Go Brandon sentiment.

And I didn't know where, you know, I'm, or why?

Joe Biden's like, everybody's grumpy uncle at the, at the dinner table.

I mean, that'd be Bernie Sanders.

Joe Biden's like the cooler uncle with the, the Corvette and the sunglasses.

But come on, man, I was it Robert De Niro.

I mean, way back said, hey, F Trump, right?

I mean, he was, he was very clear about it.

Yes.

And a lot of folks and I in some ways embrace that mentality.

Oh, I know you do.

I, I, I, you'll say that about anybody, really.

It is kind of my go-to, man.

Here's my, my defense place.

But I try to remain open, whatever.

You know, I mean, I, but what we've now seen though, of course, is this shift to the fascism.

And we see, I mean, all the news reports, certainly this week and last couple of weeks,

even Trump sold attorneys and folks in his, in his, in his orbit.

Oh, he's dangerous.

He's crazy.

He's, you know, he's going towards fascism.

You know, we got to do more.

John Kelly, you got to do more.

You know, a lot of the conservative judge, you got to do more.

They're, they're trying to do more.

These aren't, you know, these aren't, these aren't, you know, lefty saying this.

These are the conservative saying this.

And if, if, if people from your own party are, are exclaiming this and, and, and warning everybody,

well, certainly, I would, I would think some folks might want to take that to heart.

That's, that's why the, the language matters.

This, this mentality matters.

When you reuse the words of fascists of all,

bourbon, you know, this kind of thing.

Well, there's a reason why, what do they say, right?

Yeah, if you don't know history, you're going to be doomed to repeat it.

You can't be, well, if you don't know your history as our, our pal,

Matt Flynn always says, well, there, there's a reason for that, man.

Because if you go down that road, it gets really ugly, really fast.

That's why.

Dominic, we've got a few textures.

I'd like to get to them.

And then a fine comedian joining me here in the WMDX studios.

He has Kevin Boseman.

He's got a show tomorrow night at the comedy club right here on State Street,

right down, right downstairs from the World Headquarters.

Few of the, uh, text and, um, uh, here's a thought served Thanksgiving cornbread

with one of them having addibles in them.

Then Gaslight, whoever is clearly high, uh, Lisa Joe,

text and thanks, uh, happy Thanksgiving.

Love you guys.

Tell the audience to be thankful for their families,

even the Trumpsters.

They'll probably die from COVID next year.

That's a little brutal, Lisa Joe.

And here's one more next year.

Do the Thanksgiving CJ parade started new tradition.

Like, like an inflatable CJ.

Walk them up CJ's.

Walk them up State Street.

Have the blood tribe hold the strings.

Kevin Boseman, our fun guest is now.

The devil's advocates may not agree on much, but funny is funny.

Welcome back to the devils.

Advocates radio show Rowland into the happier, happier, the Tuesday edition.

The pre-things, giving addition for this ensemble cast.

And I might have been joined by a fine guest here in the,

what do we call him?

It's solidarity, realty, bad radio studios.

He is comedian Kevin Boseman.

He's got a big show tomorrow night.

A pre-things giving a fair at the comedy club on State Street.

Kevin, welcome, man.

Hey, man, thanks for having me.

You guys are great, considering you able to fit me into your busy schedule on this pre-pre-things

giving.

Well, we appreciate you coming around, Kevin.

Come on, you must be the only entertainment guy working this week.

I gotta tell you, no, come on.

How do you start its tradition of doing a comedy show the Wednesday night before things?

First of all, you have to be committed to getting away from your family.

That's gonna be number one.

You gotta know that you want to get away from them.

And then once you realize that you're happier when you're away from them,

you start planning meticulously.

And how long has this plan been getting executed?

This is your 18, baby.

This is your 18.

This is your 18.

I got grown-ass men in my house now.

That's how long I've been doing it.

Started out in diapers.

And now they're talking about trying to come to the show.

And I'm like, you're not, you're still not invited.

You're still not invited.

So, what is your Thanksgiving tradition?

Other than the comedy, and you're going to be doing a show tomorrow night at the comedy club,

I assume there must be some tickets available.

There are.

Well, we added a second show.

The first show, right?

It's nice.

All right.

Yeah.

Late show.

Late show.

Late show.

So, you know, it's a good time when family comes in.

And they want to drink and kick it.

But you don't really want to entertain.

You shuffle them off to me.

And then I take care of that for you.

And then you just put them in the bed.

I tried that last weekend.

That's the point.

That's the route.

That's the route.

That's the work.

Kevin Bosman, comedian here in the WMDX studios.

So, Kevin, I got to tell you, I had a conversation today.

And I kind of forced myself.

I put myself in the room with a trumps to do it.

Yeah.

And I don't know if I was trying to prove it to me or him

or, you know, prove my sanity or what.

But have you ever done that?

Have you ever tried to like force the conversation

just to see what would happen?

All the time.

Well, my job.

You're doing so well.

Right now, Russan.

My job.

I am naturally, I am naturally an antagonist.

So, I live in this world of great area where I got to have.

I need to hear what other people are saying

and feeling whether I agree with it or not.

So, I'm always pushing the button.

Even if people agree with me politically,

I still challenge them.

But people that support Trump is easy.

Because I live, I live in a well,

a well to do with like white suburbs.

So, it's a lot of in Chicago.

So, I got a lot of Trump friends that I sit there and I hammer.

I just like release the still cage.

Let's go.

And it's just like, you know, you see,

I just feel like a lot of times in politics,

people are just lying in themselves.

Just tell me who you are.

And then we can be good.

But don't try to act like, you know,

the things he say are not racially insensitive or dissonant.

And just don't lie.

Just say, I know it's racially insensitive,

but I don't care as much.

Then we're good.

I want my tax.

Right.

I want my tax.

That's it.

Just come clean about who you are.

And then we're good.

Because then I can't argue that.

I can just be like, all right, that's what's important to you.

Like, that's not my thing that's important.

But yeah, I got to, I have a lot of good friends,

that's Trumpers.

But I just, I just tell them that they can never speak to me

anything about morality, ethics, or values.

It only has to be bottom line.

And if we talk about them line, that's great.

Like you just, you know, you can't just get rid of

everyone to disagree with you politically,

religiously, how you raise families.

You just got to learn how to limit yourself

of what you can deal with before you snap.

But are you doing so to win the argument

or are you just trying to gather material

for perhaps a later show?

Well, I, I like the problem solve.

So I like the, I like solutions.

I'm only arguing if I know I've already won.

If I know I'm already right, then I'm ready to argue

till the end, because I already thought about your angles.

That's the only way I would argue it.

I discuss it.

But within that, like, within all of that breeze material,

breeze material all the time.

Like my, like one of my favorite jokes to tell,

this is like, uh, all my Trumpers was like,

bozman, he's our best candidate.

Why didn't you vote for him?

Here's my rule of thumb when it comes to voting.

If the clan supports you, I generally go the other way.

Right?

Call me old-fashioned.

How hard is it to say that Nazis are bad?

It's just, it's just, it's, it's a note right now for me.

Kevin Bozman, a comedian, he's got a show tomorrow night,

comedy club Madison, down here on St. Street,

a newly introduced late show.

So tickets still available.

I'll come consider seeing him on a Wednesday night,

going into Thanksgiving.

Well, let's, let's turn it to another issue.

We used to always cover on the show, uh, weed, man.

I got to be envious.

Illinois has got legalized marijuana.

We have always been big fans of the cannabis.

Let's just say, but it's so ridiculous, man.

We're in this prohibitionist wasteland.

But I don't know how you guys, I just don't know, like,

I don't even know what life was like without legalization of marijuana.

Like that's like a, that's like the pandemic to me.

Like not having, like not having legalized.

Seeds, Kevin, that's what I recall.

I'm more of a, I'm more of an edible guy.

I like, uh, I like, uh, edible.

And then having the most craziest dreams.

Ever when you, when you're, when you have it edible,

and because it puts me in a deep sleep,

because otherwise, I don't sleep well.

But edible's 10 milligrams.

And then I have the best, I mean, like the best dreams.

The other night, I was dreamed that I was just laying on a bed of candy bars

and watching ninjas have a rap battle.

It was great.

You're not going to have that, you're not going to have that,

you're not going to have that on beer.

You're not going to have that kind of dream on beer.

That is an edible dream.

The only problem with that Kevin is, you know, I snore and I sometimes

startle my co-workers.

You snore?

Yes, the office.

Take too many animals.

I sleep at the office.

Oh, buddy, you gotta, you gotta do it.

Like, I know, like right when my little guy is a,

is a hour away from going to sleep.

That's when I take it.

Because I know it takes an hour, 15 minutes.

Do you give him some melatonin

and then dad takes his melatonin?

No, I, I, to give him the sleep,

I blow my whiskey breath in his face.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Time to go to sleep, low homies.

Yes.

Kevin Bozeman, the comedian doing a couple of shows at the

comedy Cafe downstairs at Madison on State Street.

Make sure you go check him out.

Kevin, man, how did you, how did you get into this?

In his business?

You've been doing a long time, man.

Yeah, I've been at it.

How do you maintain success and cute?

How do you keep going?

Well, all right, you just ask.

Thank God I'm not taking an edible now.

Because that was seven questions this guy says one.

First of all, I would say like people don't understand

like stand up comedy.

Like it chooses you.

You know, you're not like going through Craigslist

trying to find a job.

You're like, oh, here's, here's comedy.

I hear comedy's hiring.

But that's how we got our radio jobs.

Wow, that's, that's different.

Because you guys are in the, in the,

the throws of danger with talking politics.

So that's a different, that's a different mindset.

But with stand up comedy, you know,

you have to create content where with, uh, with politics,

you take the content that you see and then you break it down.

So it's just in you like every, I get all the information

that everyone else does.

I just process it in a funny way.

But as far as like maintaining, I mean, so many people want to be

comics now and so many people are trying these like tick tocks and everything.

And I'm old school like my social media is not great.

I just like, it's nothing better than crafting words

to get a response out of people.

You know, like, I'm not dancing.

I'm not shucking and jiving.

I just have jokes.

And it's just just crafting words to create a joke.

It's like my motivation.

And how long can I keep doing it and, and, and stay on top of my game?

So yeah, um, I, I love the game.

So I don't have like a, uh, like an in-game everybody's like,

well, where's your goal?

Like, I just, like, I'm doing this for a living.

So like, that's already so many people mission accomplished.

You can't, you gotta be able to do your, there's nothing better than waking up

and going and getting paid for something that you want to do.

You can't put a price tag on that.

Well, if they ever pay me for radio,

I'll, buddy, climb that hill, buddy.

I will ship you some Mountain Dews for, get you justice.

You've been on Mountain Dews.

Kevin Boasman, comedian, he's got to show at least one still with tickets available.

Tomorrow night at the comedy club here on State Street.

Check it out. I've never seen a grown-ass man drink that many mountain dudes.

Kevin, I mean, he's only seen, it's the bottom body.

It's, I got two more in the fridge.

Dude, you're like three hours away from bedtime.

Stop.

Stop.

I was up till two in the morning last night.

Drinking Mountain Dews till like midnight.

I can't figure out why I can't sleep at night.

You know, it's crazy.

Is Mountain Dew has to be like borderline freezing because in that plastic bottle,

that neon freeze will be warm.

Six minutes after coming out of the freezer.

Like, I can't drink it out of a can though.

Like, it doesn't taste the same to me.

I like my BP D plastics.

There's nothing better than Fountain Mountain Dew.

Like, from a quick trip or something like that.

Like, a Fountain Mountain Dew is the only way to go.

But see, I'm a diet mountain Dew,

because I'm watching my girlish figure here.

Buddy, you're just, you're just killing yourself back door.

You're just, you're just,

instead of, instead of getting caught on the river,

you're just going all in on six doofs off-suit and just getting,

and getting flushed out.

But you know what?

I don't care.

I love that you like what you like,

and you're willing to do it.

Mountain Dew, how many do you have a day?

Three, three twenty answers, sixty answers.

You know, you know, that's the way.

At least that much.

You know that.

Where?

Okay, tequila can get behind.

There are health benefits.

I got the killer in here.

We can, we can,

hey, hey.

Hey.

Nobody there.

I think you're opening it up.

There are health benefits in tequila.

Yes, absolutely.

There are no health benefits at all in diet mountain Dew.

You know, sixty ounces is really like the required amount of water.

You can drink.

I just thought I thought that out.

I barely tried that.

You can read that probably on the inside of a snapple,

a snapple cap or a mountain Dew cap and be like,

hey, you know, you should be drinking water instead.

You know, the only water I get is the ice cubes

in my double-capped in diets.

That's the only water I drink.

You just love diet, huh?

Is it, what is it?

Is it the, the soda is too sweet?

What's fun?

No, I used to drink the regular mountain Dew and then I'd,

I'd get up here.

Here was my diet when I was like a 13-year-old, 14-year-old,

first working in the morning.

I go get one of those hostess cherry pies.

Yeah.

And I'd get mountain Dew.

And that'd be my breakfast, you know, just pure sugar.

But at least go with a pop tart, man.

What's wrong with you?

You have been off your whole life when it comes to your diet.

I grew up to pop tarts, you know, pop tarts.

That took some maturity on my hand.

I've matured in the pop tarts.

Oh my gosh.

Did you ever take the time to toast?

No, Corey, where are you like getting ready for a diet?

This, I'm going to leave this conversation a diabetic.

I got the top two.

My blood sugar is high just having this conversation.

You know, here's what I had for lunch today.

There's a nice, I don't know if you smelled it,

but there's a Fudge ice cream shop right down here on State Street.

Yes, I'm very well aware of it.

Yeah, that's great.

So I go down there, like I skipped my lunch.

No lunch for me today.

Because that's how you have to do it.

You know, you know, I'm in an ice cream waffle cone mood,

you know, just to set the stage for my Trumpster

confab I had with this guy.

I had to get myself in the right headspace.

And so I go down there and they know I'm coming.

Like I'm a regular now.

And they go start scooping it for me.

Yeah.

And they hand me this ice cream cone.

And then I just stare off the one doing

thing better thoughts.

Is there a defibrillator in this?

And this needs to be really nice there.

Something we could, because I don't want,

I don't want his death on my hands.

I want to be able to get this guy a fight and chance.

I think what Kevin Boseman said is he's not giving me mouth to mouth.

No, no, I'm definitely not giving you mouth to mouth.

I'm not going to get a caffeine high.

Annie, Annie, are you okay?

I love it.

I love it, Annie, good stuff, man.

Kevin, you got a few more minutes for us, man.

I got you.

We're not shifting back into politics readily from here.

Kevin Boseman, he is a fine comedian.

I find him to be a funny man.

He's doing a show tomorrow night at the comedy club on state street.

Tickets still available for the second show added.

Get yours.

You're not going to want to miss it.

I mean, the show, not your relatives.

You can skip out on the relatives.

Should have been listening earlier.

Come back more Kevin Boseman.

I don't know if you know the devil's advocates, but the show is kind of a bait deal.

Welcome back to the devil's advocates radio show.

Our last segment of the day.

Let's stick around to make it dawn show is coming up next.

Dominic, I got a fine guest.

He stuck around.

He is Kevin Boseman.

Fine comedian.

He's got a show tomorrow night at the comedy club on state.

A pre Thanksgiving tradition 18 years and running strong.

Yeah, man.

I mean, listen, stand up.

Comedy, everyone should should do code to the comedy club.

It's just the best way.

It is the best live form of entertainment out there.

It's because it's so pure and natural.

Because you say a joke in right away.

You know exactly where you stand.

Like if you and I could be at a bar, having a conversation and they could be a band plan.

We can be talking and then afterwards we'd be like, they're really good.

With stand up comedy, you have to hang on like everywhere and then you get a response.

So it's just different.

It's way more intense.

It's also way more intimate.

So stand up comedy is the way to go.

I tell you what, stop messing around.

People come out to show them out.

Any comedian would have a good show with Dominic in the front row.

And I've been doing this show with him for like 12 years now.

We were college college buddies college roommates.

Yeah.

But here's the problem.

I tell a joke.

And I don't know if he's laughing because it's funny

or because it just crashed and burned.

You know, either way, he's going to be laughing his ass on for me.

No laughing at you.

Does it matter Kevin?

It does.

Can you sense the difference?

It does.

Because otherwise it feels like you'd be an heckled.

Because you're all that feeling.

Because one requires therapy.

You guys can figure out which one requires therapy when the audience is laughing at you.

Kevin, have you ever bombed on stage man?

Have you ever felt that feeling?

All the time, dude, you the only way to grow is the

if you go up and you have a great show every time

you are doing it wrong.

That means you are taking no chances.

That means you found your little formula and now you just stick

into within and you're not pushing the boundaries.

Like I, I take it on a chain like like a prize fighter.

Like I take it.

I was going to say some other things but I forgot there's a radio station

and I downed it back.

I downed it back.

Kevin Bozeman, save the sponsors.

One joke in a time.

We appreciate that.

I know you do.

We really, really do.

They're listening to you.

Chicago tonight as well.

WCPT playing us out.

Yeah.

Shy town.

That's my home.

Well, they'll play a little bit later.

They don't give us a live slide down there.

So we don't know if we're funny in Chicago or not.

Kevin Bozeman and friends tomorrow night comedy on state.

First show sold out 730 added another show at 10 p.m.

Make sure you check him out.

Kevin, I love the laugh man.

Like my favorite thing in the world is laughing my ass off.

I love the joy that it brings me.

And I love it when I can meet folks and they make me laugh.

The crew makes me laugh a lot.

Sometimes I'm laughing at them.

Most time I'm laughing with them with them.

I saw Joe Corey recently at in Rockford of all places.

My wife and I decided we'll see Joe.

Who do you like to see?

Man, who did you grow up watching?

What were your inspirations in comedy?

I mean, I would say the same thing.

Same comics you guys have.

It's like growing up.

I mean, it was.

I mean, like Richard Pryor is like probably might be the best

stand-up comic.

But I still think like pound to pound the funniest person

ever to live Eddie Murphy.

Yeah.

And I don't think it's really that close.

When you think about all the ways he gets you to laugh.

Like he's covered it all.

Stand-up comedy, acting, sketch comedy, animation,

hosting, right?

Like every, every angle he's done it.

I think that dude is great.

But yeah, I mean, I love, like I love comics,

who, like whatever it is that they,

their style of comedy, they're just, they mastered that.

So I like, I like to see that.

Kevin, you forgot musically as well.

My girl likes to harden y'all the time.

Right.

Well, I saw someone, I saw someone talking about one of his songs.

He did with Michael Jackson.

And it's just, it's, it's tragically bad.

It's that song, what's up with you?

It's like they're just,

Lesza, Lesza.

What's up with you?

We're talking like two of the biggest stars in the 80s.

And that's what they wrote.

Like that's, it's just what I'm saying.

So you're talking about bombing?

Yeah, I can go, I can go to Oshkosh

and take it on a chin at a dive bar

and win two of the biggest stars

in the history of the planet.

Crote, Lesza, Lesza, Lesza, Lesza with you.

Kevin Boseman, have you ever bombed

because the Edibles kicked in?

You missed time to show it.

Late show added suddenly,

you've been called on stage for an encore.

And I don't get, I don't get high

before my show because that's,

that's the variant that I can't control.

I have been known to frequent a cocktail

and be a little intoxicated.

Some might say more than a little.

But that's just a,

but that's just a different kind of animal

I've learned to tame.

Like Edibles is like when secret and Roy

and had the tiger and the tiger bit his neck

and dragged them off.

That's an edible for me.

Ever tried shrooms?

No, I have not.

I was giving shrooms once

and I forgot about them in my jacket pocket

and then they just crumbled away.

So I have it.

I will take shrooms in a very controlled environment.

Like I got to have someone that I trust

and I got to have a couple of doors locked.

Sure, thinking like Thanksgiving evening.

That's a great time.

Amen.

If this is, if this is Jesus will.

You got to be thankful for something.

Hey, Matt, I'll do it.

I'll do it.

I'll do a shroom with you as I'm like land on a couch

chilling out.

You watching over me.

I know you're not going to fall asleep

because you drink them all day.

I know you know, I know you're going to be wide awake.

So I know you can watch over me.

I would do like that in a very controlled environment.

But I don't do like a lot of drugs

or anything like that.

Unless it's something that I know I can keep under under wraps, you know.

I don't know if you want me to be your guide

through the psychedelic world.

I might not be the right guy.

I might take you to the wrong party.

We turned around once in college and just went home.

Just walked to the bar, got there and said,

I'm going home.

Kevin Moe has been thinking the shrooms had kicked in.

I got it.

That's a weird.

Hey, that's a weird way to end the show.

Be like, hey, man, just went just shrooms

and then just walk home.

So thanks for listening in people.

Thank you, Scott Ross.

Thank you, Kevin Boesman.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving shrooms, everyone.

Maggie Donne is next.

And then I think busted pencils,

educated educators talking education.

Keep it locked, civic media.
