Hello there, my friends. I am Dave Holmes. Welcome to Troubled Waters, the show that treats popular

culture as the most important kind of culture, because it is the one that is keeping us from losing

our goddamn minds. 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 someone who is not in your

quarantine pod honestly teaming up with people who are in your quarantine pod not a great idea

it's a bigger mess than trying to figure out how to get on hbo max so you can watch wonder woman

1984 on christmas day so for now it is 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've

been thinking of and writing down in isolation, to earn the coveted troubled waters title,

Pundit Emeritus, that title automatically gives a person's opinion on, let's say, whether they know it's Christmas in the Galactic Federation, more weight than a civilian's.

You are listening to troubled waters. Now let's meet our teams. Today, today is a treat. We have a pair of real life good pals,

like BFFs, ride or dies. Yeah, I don't like that actually as part of our intro. If we can cut that out.

Just say if we can cut that part out, that's all I want out. Can we cut that out? All right.

We know each other. Why don't you just say we know each other?

It's a couple guys who know each other.

Thank you.

One of them is clearly better than the other, and we will find out which.

Thank you.

Via Troubled Waters, our first, starting the Netflix series, Bru Bruce Brothers. You can check him out in the movie, Guest House with Pauly Shore on VOD and Blu-ray, certainly with extra material, deleted scenes, documentary about the filming, some storyboard,

some special effects, featureettes, sing-along, that kind of thing. It is chess master, Mike Castle.

Thank you. I do have to, Mike Castle. Thank you.

I do have to, as I always have to say,
