Impolite Company

Sam takes suggested topics from his Facebook friends to deliver a lot of contested hot takes. Do vampires carry the AIDS virus? Is Amelia Badelia responsible for her actions? Is baseball good? Did Sam spell Amelia Badelia correctly? Challenge him at Helium Comedy Club 2/28 for The Dirty Show and 3/2 for Late Night Dip.

Wind-Down Friday emerges from its chrysalis and takes to the skies as IMPOLITE COFFEE BREAK. Yale is back. Analicia is not - yet - but she will be back. We promise. Get caught up on all that’s been on Yale’s mind since last we met, and, of course, the comedy rundown. 

All we're saying is that if you're a dude and your buddy says "Hey, check this out!" you let him send you a pic.  Also, who, other than everyone, John Wayne was a racist homophobe? Toilet bowls full of foam. Snowstorms that may or may not come. And of course, a rant about social media. It's a full menu from Impolite Company!  

Doesn't President's Day seem kind of like a ripoff for George Washington? Mrs. Doubtfire had a very obvious way out of her predicament with the birthday dinner. Nickelodeon was tyrants for their "Get Out and Play" campaign. All this and more on The Lyons Den

Happy Valentine's Day from Impolite Company.

Yeah, we don't even know where to begin.  A recent gig in rural Illinois has Chris concerned about vampires and cannibals.  He has tips for both.    It's a weird episode of Impolite Company!

Casey Paulsen joins Sam in the studio for a couple beers and a no-nonsense education on OJ Simpson and The Notebook. Casey knows how to make the masses laugh. But does he know other things? Let's find out!   

Chris is certain he's a city kid through and through.  He recounts a time his car was broken into and reveals that he's much more efficient at breaking into cars, but doesn't explain how he knows that. It's a deep dive on today's Impolite Company.  

We're not sure if Chris is ranting about Donald Trump and keeps getting distracted by Liam Neeson, or if he's ranting about Liam Neeson and keeps getting distracted by Donald Trump.  But, we can all agree that it'd have been a different week if Liam had made his confession to Oprah, instead of to the Independent. Strap one on for today's Impolite Company!

5 years ago today, a young man got on a stage in Oxford, MS and tried stand-up comedy for the first time. That young man was Sam Lyons. On this, the wooden anniversary, Sam tells the story of how he was inspired to try comedy, and reflects a bit on where he's taken him. He also provides the rundown of his 5 must-watch Nicholas Cage and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, and at the end of the episode, you can hear his first set in entirety! The Patriots won the Super Bowl, and life will go on. Enjoy as you step into The Lyons Den

It's been a year! Chris discusses personal and creative growth, and tells a few jokes he wrote in his first year of comedy. The new DCU shows are fun. Also, if you purposefully use the wrong pronoun to address a person, you're an a-hole. That's a pretty non-controversial opinion he pretends is a hot take.  Don't be an a-hole.   It's Impolite Company! 

The government lives...for now. Black Panther took home 7 nominations. Who's going to watch Game of Thrones for the 6th time now that Sam's going back to work?! Welcome to The Lyons Den.

The government shut down is over and Chris wonders if this is the type of negotiating we can expect from the POTUS when he protects US interests with North Korea.  Also, don't use duct tape for sex play, addresses the "why are you politicial?" question, and DON'T DUMP OUT COFFEE!!! For Christ's sake people, it's coffee.  

Warning: Today's episode was recorded in the car, on the highway, Tuesday night. We meant to post it late that night, but time, man...time. Chris cusses too much and apologizes for it.  He discusses current events ranging from bratty white kids in red hats to the government shut down.  Also, why you're the problem with True Detective season 2.   It's Impolite Company!

A veritable buffet of American exceptionalism was bestowed upon the Clemson Tigers yesterday.  Let's talk about it.  Also, it snowed in St. Louis.  Need learn furniture? 

What would you highlight in your teen bible? Sam and Meredith are moving their show to a new venue, so she joins him on air to talk upcoming shows, Groundhog Day, and why you should ignore other people's conversations when getting Chinese food. And we finally have an intro!

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! Conspiracy theories abound on this episode of Wind-Down Friday. How can there be a winter storm warning when the National Weather Service is operating off a laptop in an Oklahoma City Starbucks? How can China put a potato on the dark side of the moon but not in a PF Chang's? Why does Analicia's energy drink taste like lettuce? Why do people believe there's an Arch downtown? All this plus the weekly comedy rundown and more!

Chris lists a number of things you could have done last night instead of watching Donald Trump's speech.  It's a long list.  The plural of "moose" is "moose."  Right?  The Chrysler Building is for sale.  

Chris spends a lot of time talking about flat tires, which somehow still brings up the subjects of donuts.  Do people pick up escorts at the front door? Does the government shutdown mean we can act crazy on mass transit now? And it's interesting that Trump didn't try making his little speech during the national championship game last night. Also, he's not even allowed to commit murder. So, relax.

2018 was a lot of ups and downs for Sam, but he focuses on the ups, and talks about some of his favorite moments. He's also been binging Dexter. Convict R. Kelly.
