TOM CLARK (Conan, Party Down, Euphoria) Goes OFF THE RECORDS with B-$ and The O’Connman to listen to MEAT BOB by Bobcat Goldthwait. Honestly, we don’t listen to much of the record, but you can stream it everywhere! It’s great. We got caught up talking to Tom about meeting B-$ in Austin 20 years ago, Tom starting comedy in Milwaukee alongside Dan Harmon and Frank Caliendo, then moving to Chicago where Kumail, Kyle Kinane, and a still Christian Pete Holmes. Tom is a hilarious comedian that you should go see if you ever get a chance. We get into some Jeff Dye gossip and Tom plays us a voicemail Jeff left for him. There’s a ton of fun stuff in here. Do we talk about Peter North? Pedo Hunters? You’ll have to listen to find out!
