Blended Beef & Cumpuns




For the 5 year anniversary of Josh's first time doing stand up, Matt Miller comes into the Front Room and, off the bat, points out that Josh hasn't done stand up in a minute.

Josh brings up that he felt a "beef" with another comic at one of his last shows, and that part of the reason he's shied away from the stage is to avoid the drama bullshit. He then reveals the phenomenon of people always hating him when they first meet him.

Josh and Matt reminisce about Howard Stern on E! and how it kind of framed the BSS.
Josh talks about how Matt was one of the first friends he made while entering the stand up comedy community in Boston.
They discuss the failed Fran's Place Saturday show that Matt frequented and performed Josh's favorite bit of his, the "cum puns".
Matt talks about his Youtube successes, and they watch one of his most popular videos, "Bobby Banks's Butt Camp".

Matt calls up the Citizen Kane of infomercials, The Magic Bullet.  Josh, Matt and PA Sue point out the absurdity of the cooking methods in the Magic Bullet kitchen.

A little bit about the gout, because Josh got the gout.  Matt shares his secret to weight loss: DANCING WHILE DRUNK (we looked into it, it works). Credits roll while PA Sue does a news story about Google Flypaper for the Google car.

Indiana GMOs and the RECZ


This episode of the Boston Shit Show is a trilogy, Indiana GMOs and the RECZ
(Remade Earffel Centipede Zeppelin).
WATCH ALL THREE PARTS

Part 1: If It Ain't Broke...
In Part 1 of the trilogy, Josh gets some bad news about something iconic being removed from Walt Disney World. He then shares his dislike of anyone who refers to Disney MGM Studios as "Disney Hollywood Studios". 
A brief conversation about the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, Sue drops the bomb that Chris Pratt is in a remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark; Josh completely loses his shit about remaking movies.


Part 1: If It Ain't Broke



Part 2: Zep and NOT Caterpillar
A teacher is in hot water after showing Human Centipede 2 to their class, but Josh contends that every teacher should get a few free passes on movie day because the students are assholes, and laments not having worked harder at being the class clown in high school. Josh postulates on which position in the Centipede would be worst.
Josh and PA Sue begin a track of misspeaking, saying "Human Caterpillar 2" rather than "Human Centipede 2" ("THC2").
Josh gets overly frustrated that people abbreviate everything they say when oftentimes it would save more time to just say the actual words. WTF.
PA Sue brings Josh up to speed on the lawsuit against Led Zeppelin over stealing the riff for Stairway To Heaven.  Josh makes an incredible analogy between music and the Rubix Cube.


Part 2: Zep and NOT Caterpillar


Part 3: The GMO Part
Josh announces PA Sue W. Bush's planned candidacy for an undisclosed public office.
There's a story about iodine being distributed in Belgium because they run on "nucular" power and their reactors are at critical levels. This somehow progresses into a discussion about how all food nowadays needs to be something-free. Fuckin' vegan hippies. PA Sue explains the GMO situation (as best she can) and Josh plays devil's advocate on the side on Monsanto. He explains that their creation of GMOs is the epitome of capitalism.
PA questions Josh's survival skills, then explains that stupid/uneducated people don't know to watch out for GMO products, and Josh fights back with a Darwinistic point of view.
PA Sue then brings up an Indian "Fuck Temple" she visited, allowing Josh to bring it full circle.
