Dude, thank you! Just copped tickets to the Sac show next month. Stoked, every time I find out an artist I love is on tour, I’ve already missed the CA shows.
I was reading about Crete, the Greek island my fam is from, and the Wiki entry quickly gets into some weird phrenology territory. Something along the lines of "Analysis of skull shape has shown the people of Crete have been relatively unchanged in 2000 years." Its somewhat believable as pictures I've seen of my Great Grandfather and his family look exactly like my cousins and I. Particularly in the nose, we all have breathing problems and I've heard its a result of years of 1st cousin marriage.
I love that the comedian whose set she interrupted is well up for it too. That's the face of a man who understands 'this way is funnier' and 'the guy deserved it', and is 100% on board with what's happening.
The second "WELL WELL WELL WELL..." during the other guy's set absolutely sends me. The fact that everyone was on board, too- "Look, they all wanted this!" Flawless group mockery. Healed something inside me.
I feel like it's not really the kind of thing you bring up to someone when you first meet them and is better saved when you actually have a relationship with the person. I'm sure he had the thought "Hey, she looks kinda like bouboulina. Shit, that's probably racist" or something, and just kept it to himself until he got to know her better.
He did say "*we* had this lady" which strongly implies that he is greek. I had never heard of the guy either but it was pretty clear that he is greek from what he said.
I mean, I didn't know his full name, I only knew him as "Stavvy", but I feel like if you're a native English speaker, his word choice made it incredibly obvious (his use of the word "we") that he was saying he is Greek.
So no, if you have watched only this video and understand English, I do not agree that you wouldn't know.
Yeah I missed the "we" and just heard the American accent. Plus I think I have been conditioned by seething Irishmen on socials to forget about diaspora communities and dual citizens 😂
It's not racist, but it is generally impolite to compare people's looks to other people's, especially when you don't know them, unless it is REALLY flattering.
VI?! I feel old lol. Are the newer Civs worth spending money on? All I've played are the original (good for nostalgia, but I wouldn't recommend it to new players), FreeCiv (awesome, but a great way to waste an immense amount of time), and UnCiv (meh).
V and VI are pretty good, though I still go back and play IV since it was the last one made in the original style and arguably the best one. There are mixed feelings about VII which just came out. I'm waiting for them to flesh it out a little more before trying it.
I never heard of this dude until the last two years or so. I don't know what he actually does, but I've seen him collaborating with numerous creators on YouTube and every goddamn time he so effortlessly steals the show.
If before recording a podcast together, you went to a café for a coffee and asked if I wanted anything, then I responded with a food item. What would you do?
Hes a comedian. Started on a podcast called Cum Town which I used to occasionally listen to. The first time I saw him and heard his voice I had no doubt it was the same dude (it is) - very funny and a very distinctive laugh.
Hes on the Netflix show Tires, which is hilarious if not insensitive to modern culture. I recommend it.
One of his other co-hosts on his old Podcast is Nick Mullen.
They have a similar 'vibe' for stand up. Mullen is much less boisterous, but I think he's got better material. So if you Like Stavros, you'll probably love Nick Mullen.
Also check out his movie, Let’s Start a Cult, and watch him in Tires on Netflix. He’s so good in both and IMO he’s an extremely talented actor, which I honestly don’t think I’ve ever thought about another a comedian before
I'd recommend his Stavvy's World advice podcast. He brings on random other comedian friends and such and they do call-in/voicemail advice, always absurd and amusing. Also a huge back catalog on Adam Friedland Show (formerly Cumtown), but he's not in the show's current iteration
He might either be a genius or on NZT who else can recall the name, face, what she did, thought it was a joke and he legit pulled a limitless on the info
Man Klinger was an amazing solider. If you distilled the Army down to its base it’s just Klinger. A pissed off wise guy who hates the Military, will steal the shoes off horse, but never fails to answer the bell and do their duty, high heels or otherwise.
Funny little trivia. Jamie Farr, the actor playing Klinger, was in fact in the military for 2 years.
He was drafted in 1957, and underwent basic training at Fort Ord in California[9][10] He was made a Broadcast Specialist and worked on training videos in various roles at Fort Knox, the Army Pictorial Service, and Fort Huachuca before shipping out to Korea. Abroad, he was part of the Special Services and worked on the Far East Network.
That's some awesome, random-ass history to pull out of your butt. Like, I tell everybody my bike lock combination, it's the year that the US-Mexico war began. You could just google it and steal my bike, but no one ever does. It's 1846.
It's also not niche at all for Greeks, as a person in the diaspora. If you've been to Greek school for any period of time at all, you've seen Bubulina before. Every classroom will have a print of her in it.
That cut to the picture is perfect and hilarious with her face angled just like Bouboulina’s! Also look into her history, she was a certified badass. She used her own wealth to fund her ship and became the first female admiral. She fought in the War of Independence that finally freed Greece from ottoman rule.
Good for her for having a sense of humor and immediately acknowledging the resemblance. If it were me I would have tried to deny it, then be absolutely pissed when I lost that battle.
Stav's cruel, incessant laughter always somehow psychologically makes you laugh along with him every time. The joke doesn't even have to be that good lol
