Lance Oppenheim is back in the BJS studio to discuss his new HBO documentary "Ren Faire". The succession story of the Texas Renaissance Festival. King George Coulam, an 86 year old man addicted to power and gooning and a power struggle that ensues between an idealistic artist and a coldblooded businessman. Go watch "Ren Faire" on Max if you haven't seen it already. The pod is better if you have watched but still fun if you haven not. Lance is a grade-A yapper and this is a meaty episode.

Brandon will be in Austin, Vancouver, and Portland soon :) https://linktr.ee/Brandonwardell

Dan Licata makes his long overdue BJS debut on the heels of his new special “For The Boys,” which he filmed for a crowd of 15 year old boys at his old high school. We yapped about a tale from his bellhop days involving a $10,000 offer from Kevin “The Space Man” Spacey, making homemade Jackass videos as a youth, and the lost thrill of watching Howard Stern on E! in hopes of yanking your crank. Beetlejuice, Maxim, and The Man Show are discussed once again in this episode but like in an elevated academic anthropological way.

Go check out “Dan Licata: For The Boys” on YouTube, we give it the official BJS stamp of approval: https://youtu.be/wrCb9rntbv0?si=DpKcU6r8RiC0H5TZ

Seeking Derangements host Jacques Gonsoulin joins us in the second half after being Brandon's NOLA spirit guide last weekend and making their standup debut. For those of you that haven't heard the YBS old testament, Jacques has lived quite a life and has tales to tell. Few can match Jacques' freak. But first, Brandon and Jamel spend the first half discussing some current affairs, macro and micro. Brandon met a guy who watches The Dark Knight on vyvanse every other day while running 14 miles on a treadmill (speed: 7 incline: 0). Jamel met the self-appointed Dodgers clown. Feature length banger premium episode.
