Well, hello there. I'm Dave Holmes and welcome to Troubled Waters. The show that treats popular culture is the most important kind of culture, because it is the one that is keeping us from freaking the fuck out.

Our fall plans on Troubled Waters were to pit two teams of comedians against each other in a pop culture battle royale.

But along came the Delta Variance. So now teaming up with another person who is not in your

quarantine pod is still possibly lethal, still definitely more frowned upon than trying to fit a visual

meme into an audio format like I just did. 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, maybe the great comebacks they've been saving in a notebook all throughout

this year and a half to earn the coveted Troubled Waters title, Pundit Emeritus. That title

gives a person's opinion on, let's say, why pandemic movies are not doing so well at the box office?

More weight than a civilians.

You're listening to Troubled Waters. Let's meet our comics.

Our first is an actor.

He's a comedian. He's a troubled waters favorite. He's an American comics. Our first is an actor. He's a comedian.

He's a Troubled Waters favorite.

He's an American treasure.

His name is Cale Hills.

Hello, Cale.

Hello.

Thank you for having you.

How are you?

I am holding up about as well as one could be doing over the past year, but I'm great.

I'm so excited to be here.
