from Black Lincoln Collective Podcast · host Parker, Freddy Jazzmouth, Allan OTB
00:00:57 — “Now Featuring Words”: Parker welcomes everyone to the “250th episode” and announces that the show now features words, which feels like an ambitious rebrand. 00:01:16 — All Fingers and Toes: The crew says they are broadcasting with all their fingers and toes, which becomes accidentally relevant later when the episode turns into death talk. 00:02:20 — Antonio Ben Fred: Fred starts doing an accent, Parker asks him to get closer to the mic, and the whole show briefly becomes a bootleg international lounge act. 00:03:05 — Spain Is Mexico’s Canada: The geography lesson nobody requested arrives early and confidently. 00:04:48 — Hayden Panettiere Name Disaster: The crew tries several versions of Hayden Panettiere’s name and lands somewhere between Italian restaurant and medical condition. 00:07:02 — Death Investigation for Pizza: The guys realize a nearby location has a pizza place, and Fred immediately sounds more interested in lunch than detective work. 00:07:08 — Crab Rangoon Pizza: The idea of crab rangoon pizza nearly derails the celebrity death segment, because BLC can mourn and menu-plan at the same time. 00:11:23 — RIP Dolly: The crew switches into sincere mode for Dolly Parton, which is rare enough to be its own special effect. 00:13:14 — Dolly Parton Day: The guys decide 9/25 should become Dolly Parton Day because of “9 to 5,” then start moving other national holidays out of her way. 00:15:19 — Make Room for Dolly: National Comic Book Day, Lobster Day, Quesadilla Day, and One Hit Wonder Day all get pushed aside because Dolly gets priority. 00:16:36 — BLC Hall of Fame: Dolly gets officially inducted and becomes the first BLC Hall of Famer with her own show holiday. 00:16:48 — Dolly’s Letterman Clip: The crew remembers Dolly telling David Letterman that people talk about one part of her body, but she has “a great ass too.” 00:21:59 — Tim Curry Left This Mortal World: Tim Curry becomes the third icon in the episode’s death-trifecta conversation, kicking off a massive filmography riff. 00:23:21 — Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties: The Tim Curry credits get increasingly strange, proving the man really was in everything. 00:24:28 — In Memoriam Before the Year Ends: The crew decides August is close enough to do an in-memoriam segment. 00:32:06 — Food News Begins: After a death-heavy first half, the crew pivots into Food News, because nothing heals grief like crackers and bad decisions. 00:32:56 — Fred Tries Matzo: Fred opens the matzo, smells cardboard, takes a bite, and immediately realizes the bit has betrayed him. 00:33:09 — “A Piece of Tile”: The matzo is described as backsplash, cracker, cardboard, and something large enough to hide behind. 00:34:11 — The Talking Matzo: Parker suggests Fred use the matzo as a face prop and become “the talking matzo,” which is probably a better character than planned. 00:36:44 — Matzo ASMR: Fred cracks the matzo near the mic while the crew treats it like high-end audio content for people with very specific problems. 00:37:04 — Fred Wants to Eat It but Hates It: The guys observe Fred repeatedly bringing the matzo close to his mouth, then pulling it away like it personally hurt him. 00:38:46 — Pro-Jelly, Anti-Jam: BLC takes its boldest food stance yet: “pro jelly, fuck your jam.” 00:41:17 — Coca-Cola vs. Jesus: The crew discusses the outrage over Coca-Cola allegedly blocking “I love Jesus” on custom bottles while rumors claimed Satan phrases got through. 00:43:35 — “I Love His Shoes”: Parker offers the perfect workaround for blocked Jesus Coke: just write “I love his shoes.” 00:46:31 — Questionable Meat: Imported meat, mystery sourcing, screw worm panic, and fast food distrust enter the chat. 00:48:24 — Screw Worm Joins the Show: The screw worm gets a voice and starts talking about meat, which is exactly as gross as it sounds. 00:55:05 — First-of-Its-Kind Bacon: Everything bagel-seasoned thick-cut bacon arrives, and Fred immediately starts questioning why anyone would mess with bacon. 00:57:39 — Stop Messing With Bacon: The guys reach food-news consensus: bacon is already great. Leave it alone. 01:00:16 — Upside Betrayal: Parker explains why the Upside app lost him forever after one denied submission. 01:01:23 — QT Hot Dog Trap: Fred remembers missing the $2.50 hot dog deal by one day and suddenly paying eight dollars for two gas station hot dogs. 01:03:15 — Thanks for Glistening: The episode ends with “thanks for glistening,” which is either a typo, a lifestyle, or the next BLC merch line. #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

What this episode covers
In “Make Room for Dolly” | Episode 253 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, Parker, Fred, and Allan open with “words,” questionable international logic, Spanish-fly energy, fake accents, and the usual signs that the show has technically begun. The newly updated website gets a quick shoutout before the episode takes a darker turn into celebrity passings, name mispronunciations, and the strange local detail that one of the celebrity deaths discussed happened close to home. The first major section centers on Dolly Parton, who the crew treats with rare and mostly sincere respect. They talk about her as more than a singer: a cultural icon, a Southern legend, a personality who could joke about her own image, and someone who did real good through things like Dollywood and her book-giving program. The guys decide Dolly deserves her own day, joke about making 9/25 Dolly Parton Day because of “9 to 5,” and officially put her into the BLC Hall of Fame. She becomes the first Hall of Famer to get a show holiday, which may be the highest honor this podcast can legally provide. From there, the “deaths come in threes” segment keeps going. The crew talks about Tim Curry, runs through his massive resume from Rocky Horror to Home Alone 2 to Legend, and then spirals into a mini in-memoriam for celebrities and semi-celebrities who did not get enough attention. It becomes a strangely specific roll call of actors, musicians, TV personalities, Sega hardware people, and performers the guys half-remember, fully mispronounce, or unexpectedly care about. After the break, the episode gets lighter and much crunchier with Food News. Fred tries matzo for the first time, hoping for a salty cracker and instead discovering what the crew describes as a giant piece of edible cardboard. The guys compare it to backsplash tile, suggest turning it into “the talking matzo,” debate whether it needs cheese, tea, peanut butter, jelly, jam, or a complete personality transplant, and eventually take a hard stance: BLC is pro-jelly and anti-jam. The food segment then shifts into Coca-Cola controversy, with Parker explaining that some people were angry because Coca-Cola’s customizable bottles allegedly blocked “I love Jesus” while rumors claimed Satan-related phrases were allowed. The guys talk about boycotts, glitches, religious phrases, Coke vs. Pepsi, and whether “I love his shoes” is the workaround America needs. The last stretch goes deep into meat. The crew discusses questionable imported beef, screw worm fears, beef supply problems, fast food suspicion, whether mystery meat could end up in burgers, and the unsettling possibility that nobody wants to tell consumers where certain meat is coming from. Then they pivot to a new everything bagel-seasoned thick-cut bacon, which leads to one clear BLC position: bacon is already good, so stop messing with it. The episode closes with QT food deals, Upside app betrayal, gas station loyalty, expensive hot dogs, pizza-and-drink combos, tariff money jokes, and the realization that somehow Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, matzo, Jesus Coke, screw worms, and bacon all belonged in the same hour. That’s either range or a medical condition. Either way, it’s BLC.
