Are you new to comedy podcasts, overwhelmed by the array of options, and wondering where to begin?
Some podcasts are aboutgettingstoned.
Others, likeHigh and Mighty, are about what happens if youstaystoned … forever.
It was Gabruss first solo podcast after a run of acclaimed appearances on shows likeimprov4humansandComedy Bang!
Bang!that turned him from a hustling improviser into a comedy podcast favorite.
He predicted that only those comfortable with his shamelessly debauched pothead shtick would stick with his progress.
His interviews tend to be hyper-engaged yet vaguely aggressive, like Marc Maron cross-faded on dexedrine and CBD.
As the title suggests, the episode is a simple fuck-the-haters celebration of Gabrus and Byers bodies.
It opens withSammy Rubinspsychedelic theme song, followed by Gabrus joyously welcoming back his army of shithead fans.
Were gonna talk about something that is near and dear to our hearts, our No.
Our enlarged, plaque-ridden hearts.
That something is their shared fatness.
I dont know why people need to just be like, Youre fat!
I have a mirror.
Also, I live in this fucking body.
Also, if you dont like it, take a nap!
Theres tons of pills to keepusalive.
Before they start the interview, Gabrus reads a set of particularly (but appropriately) nasty listener reviews.
One complains that Joan Grabass respiratory failure makes the show impossible to hear.
We all need to stop enabling him!
(Naturally, all three reviewers give him five stars.)
Byer isnt horrified by any of this.
But, she adds, in her case, Its also racism.
Then Trumps like You dont have to be PC!
Its like, So I can say that I hate the blacks?!
Byer agrees and savors the compliment: Im fine bein fuckin fat.
I actually prefer it.
I like the way I look bigger.
Gabrus tells her he likes the way you look bigger too, girl.
Surprising no one, Uncle Gabrus has what he calls a sickness for the thickness.
I was surprised they let me say chocolate pussy pie, she jokes.
Gabrus ends the episode on that note, then eagerly invites her to return after her shows TV premiere.
Sadly, Byers series was canceled not long after this episode (twice, butshes doing fine).
On today of all days, thats worth celebrating.
