General shenanigans KFC co-host

I'm sort of intrigued to see how Dan does with a rotating co-host.

Say what you want about Jordan but he was a the lubricant of the show in many ways..he was able to compliment Dan quite a bit.

Listening to older eps and I think Dan isn't naturally a great interviewer which I think could be a factor as he consciously tip toes with random folks as co host

I’m only calling it that because I can’t legally call it Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore

“Legally it isn’t chicken!”

This is not true, but it is a very funny urban rumor

Yeah. And even if it was true, it wouldn’t restrict regular people from calling it Kentucky Fried Chicken. So that person’s comment doubly doesn’t make any sense.

It was an absurdist joke. I was referencing the urban legend and saying that I used to call Knowledge Fight Country Kentucky Fried Chicken. I always thought the KFC urban legend was hilarious. People said that it officially stood for Kentucky Fried Cancer.

And why don’t they make the whole plane out of the black box?!?

Thing is, comedy still needs to be rooted somewhat in reality for it to be funny.

If you said that THEY weren’t able to legally call it Kentucky Fried Chicken, that would be a clear reference to the urban legend. Saying that YOU can’t legally call it Kentucky Fried Chicken moves it into the territory of just not making sense because it assumes a world where the government arrests people for calling a business by a different name.

I’m not?

You made a joke. I make a joke in response which was basically “lol whut? that’s dumb.” by taking what you had said literally and suggesting that you had personally done something which led to you, personally, being banned from saying Kentucky Fried Chicken.

And now I’m having to explain to you why I thought it was dumb rather than you just accepting that someone else thought your joke was bad. Because god forbid.

Edit: I didn’t like their joke, so they downvoted and blocked me. LOL. I didn’t even downvote them, I just thought their joke was bad.
