Well, hello there. I am Dave Holmes, and welcome to Troubled Waters, the show that treats popular

culture is the most important kind of culture because, well, it could be the kind that bums you

out the least. Back in the before times, Troubled Waters would pit two teams of comedians against

each other in a pop culture battle royale. But now, teaming up with another person who's not in

your quarantine pod might be lethal.

It is definitely more frowned upon than trying to tell Patty Lupone that you pay your salary.

After not putting your mask up over your note, don't do it.

So for now, it's one comic against another. To win this battle, each comic will be called upon to use their smarts, their

rhetorical skills, the great comebacks that they have been writing for Patty Lepone in their little

notebooks to earn the coveted troubled waters title punted emeritus. The BE title automatically

gives a person's opinion on how hilarious it is that all of the people who videotape the

Patti Lepone thing were still afraid to actually point their cameras at the stage because they knew that Patti Lopone was going to yell at them too.

More weight than a civilians. You're listening to Troubled Waters. Let's meet our taste. Okay, let's meet our taste. Okay, let's address the Patty Lepone, first and foremost.

The Patty Lepone in the room. The Patty Lepone in the room. Someone or someone's was in the audience

of company. It was a Q&A, an audience talkback. They had the nerve not to put their masks up over their nose. We should know how to use a fucking mask by now. It was a Q&A and audience talk back. They had the nerve not to put their masks up

over their nose. We should know how to use a fucking mask by now. It's been two plus years.

Patty Lepone, of course, raged at them in a way that was cathartic and beautiful. And I want

her to be the president in the United States of America. But a bunch of people videotaped it.

And if you know, if you know two things about Patty Lepone, one, put on your mask around her. And two,

do not videotape her. Do not videotape a show while it is happening. She will, she will kill you.

She will make you wish she had killed you faster. Anyway, there's hilarious video, but it's mostly of people's laps because they know better.

Anyway, let's meet our teams.
