In February of 2023, I interviewed a man named Scott Edwards, a former comedy club owner on The Lawrence Ross Show. The other day, Scott contacted me to let me know that his site has a section for interviews, and the one we did is available for people to check out, he hopes it gets more people interested in the podcast. There's a great story about two big names in the comedy world wearing women's clothing, plus Scott tells a story about a big name in comedy who he ended up firing, check out the interview here.

Airplane passengers watch nervously as two men wearing pilots’ uniforms and dark glasses use canes to feel their way into the cockpit. The plane starts barreling down the runway, and the passengers begin to get scared as the water at the end of the airstrip nears. With only a few yards left, everyone screams, but the plane lifts off just in time. The passengers think it was all a joke, while in the cockpit, the pilots high-five.

“You know,” says one pilot to the other, “one day they’re gonna scream too late, and we’re all gonna die.”

“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph.” -Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia (23 Jul 1892-1975)

I wonder how long before somebody claims that the booking.com commercials with Tina Faye are insulting to individuals who have dissociative identity disorder. I know this sounds like a reach, but if it happens, don’t be surprised.

History has repeated itself, only this time it is a bit more accelerated. In 1968, LBJ dropped out of the presidential race, he was also a Democrat. He did it on March 31 of that year, giving the party ample time to pick a candidate. This time however, it’s much closer to election day than it was back then. What will happen next? Only time will tell.

I’ve been in Talladega for two weeks, made new friends and have slowly built up some new skills.

• Cleaning of a mirror, sink, toilet, and combination tub/shower
• Cleaning Angus Beef Ribs
• Safely pealing, chopping and cooking brown sugar carrots
• What’s next? Stay tuned.

On the fun side of things, I’ve consistently hung out with a small group of friends, we mainly hit the town on Wednesday nights, last week some of us participated in a karaoke contest, one of our group members took home the grand prize, you can see my contribution in the video below, go to around the 25:00 portion.

I was recently asked if I miss doing The Lawrence Ross Show, the short answer is yes. Have no fear, The Lawrence Ross Show is not going away anytime soon, just give me time. You can always brows the archives, or check out my comedy albums on your favorite music platforms, search for Lawrence Ross.

“See” you later.

Today in 1969, Neil Armstrong landed on the moon.

For any snowflakes reading this...

In the gender neutral year of 1969, a cis gendered individual possessing both the X and Y chromosomes identifying as Neil Armstrong landed on the gender neutral, nonbinary object known as the moon, which now prefers that any and all individuals use the non gender specific pronoun of "It" when discussing said moon in conversation.

20/07/2024

Today is the 55 year anniversary of the moon landing. I don't understand why people think this accomplishment was faked, staged ETC.

For fun, I typed "What is the podcast The Lawrence Ross Show about?" into Chat GPT, and here's what it says.

"The Lawrence Ross Show is a podcast that features a mix of humor, commentary, and interviews. Lawrence Ross, the host, often discusses a variety of topics, including pop culture, current events, and personal anecdotes. The show has a laid-back, conversational tone, and it frequently includes comedic segments and listener interactions. It's a platform for Ross to share his unique perspectives and entertain his audience with engaging discussions."

While this is a good description, I wish that I had more of a following. Will my big break ever come? Comments are welcome.

“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.” -Nikola Tesla, electrical engineer and inventor (10 Jul 1856-1943)

Here’s the thing that drives me nuts about Haliey Welch, “the Hawk Tuah girl”. She’s just another example of an individual who has gotten popular for having no unique talent who is going to attempt to milk her 15 minutes of fame for as long as she possibly can. It's sad that mediocrity is put on such a high platform, and people with true talent spend years and years before either getting their big break, or don't get the recognition they deserve, or in some cases, become more popular after death, not being able to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

The sound of church bells is a quaint bit of automated background noise for most people. But before newspapers, radio, telephones, television and the internet, it was bellringing that transmitted important information and knit together communities across Europe.
