Hello, everybody. It's Will here. And I'm coming at you with a bonus chopo interview and episode

for this week. And I'm very pleased to say that we are having on today's show. We have a comedian

whose work I have enjoyed for many years now. It is my pleasure to welcome to the show,

the bitter Buddha himself, Eddie Pepitone.

Eddie, how's it going?

Hey, thank you.

This is an honor to be on this podcast.

I was listening to you guys yesterday talking about Gaza.

And it's amazing because I deal with comics who were so politically inept,

you know, so politically unaware on the whole. You know, like when I go up in front of audiences,

I look at their dead eyes and I go, do I bring up, do I bring up a

genocide here on a Saturday night in the chuckle hut? I mean, it is Miami.

Well, Eddie, I mean, you talk about like how sort of politically inept or incurious most

comedians are, but like at the same time, comedians have become like the de facto Walter Cronkite

or Mike Wallace of this current moment, right?

Like, you have like comedians are now becoming the go-to interview for Hitler, You know, like we're happy to have, we're happy to have Hitler. Yo, Hitler, what's your favorite thing to have for lunch, you know? Right. Right. And it's sort of like John Stewart is our, Edwin R. Murrow, uh, where Stuart should end his, uh, daily shows with

good night and good luck, you know? But yeah, I think what you're talking about is the big guys

like Stuart, he Colbert, a Chappelle. But, you know, Chappelle.

But, you know, I'm in the grind, you know, I'm like with a lot of different comedians at different levels.

And I'm just amazed how it is so difficult for them to talk about anything other than Batman and pussy.

Or Spider-Man and Cock, whatever.

I'm seriously like, how are Batman and pussy?
