Ep. 229: Planting Shade for the Enjoyment of Others (Ft. Lemmy Comedy)

My guest is a Colorado comic who started performing stand up in his 50’s. To some, that might seem “late” to begin a career in entertainment, but for Lemmy, it meant entering the Loveland comedy scene with an arsenal of life-already-lived.  A hidden but huge advantage in crafting his voice & material, because unlike some (or most) open-mic comics getting their start, Lemmy had already raised children, volunteered for years as a mountain firefighter, and could draw from all his lived experience when writing jokes. Follow Lemmy on Instagram @LemmyComedy — Check out his website https://www.lemmycomedy.com for his upcoming stand-up dates!Hop on Lemmy’s free Patreon for his show B.O.A.T.S. (Based on a True Story), where he reviews different movies all based on true stories, & talks about what the movie got right & where it diverted from the true events. (It’s FREE!)He was gracious enough to drive all the way to Denver to be on InTALLerable, eat our signature smoked chicken wings, and share whatever valuable insight playing the role of “wise one” for this ‘cast.  We talked about how our politicians could use a "spirit of the game” taken in pill form, how important the depth & breath of relationships is for men’s health, especially into their 50’s, and we hear about Lemmy’s pesky Trumpy neighbor.  Sean offers a new-school approach for bridging political divides to find humanity in each other.  Or maybe it’s just drilling down into the madness of others; listen & decide for yourself!A good hang with good people over good chicken.  What more could you ask for nowadays? For the full uncut EATIN’ with Lemmy, come join us at Patreon.com/InTALLerable — No matter what tier you are able to support us at, we will send you some of our new first batch of merch (keychains!), and you will be part of the growing group of ‘Heights’, who help make our show possible, so that we can make it InTALLerable. FO & BW0:00 — Guest Intro1:30 — Bourbon, Bikes & Pancreas Pain5:00 — “Late-in-Life” Firefighter6:15 — Pancreatitis of the Booze8:30 — Dr. Says…12:15 — What’s happening with the Pancreas?14:00 — Lemmy’s Scientific Sons16:00 — Marriage & meeting his Wife18:00 — Manhattan Beach Lifestyle19:00 — Outdoors22:30 — Spirit of the Game24:00 — Paying Taxes (for what?)26:30 — “Intellectually Pessimistic, Emotionally Optimistic”27:30 — Depth & Breadth of Relationships28:30 — Digging into problem of Suicide in America30:00 — WHY (Guys in their 50’s)31:45 — Chronic Pain (Emotional or Physical)33:45 — Ability to be open & honest35:00 — Therapy & Advice for the Youths38:00 — Isolation in search of community39:00 — Substance as a cultural lube42:30 — State & Local Taxes44:30 — Lemmy’s time as a Firefighter in Eagle46:30 — Why roads in Europe last longer48:00 — How about build some amazing public good?!?49:00 — Keeping up the facade51:30 — Praise for Lemmy’s Support52:30 — Supporters are the Boss53:30 — Bypassing the Techno-Oligarchs54:45 — The yard sign was a gift55:30 — Defining Gaslighting & Honeypotting56:30 — Trump Guy v.
