Episode Description

On episode #287 of Coolest Alive, Jesse dives into the unhinged chaos of Bobcat Goldthwait’s 1988 stand-up album Meat Bob, a raw snapshot of the comedian’s manic ’80s peak where high-pitched rants, absurd stories, and pitch-black humor collide in pure punk-rock comedy energy. Recorded live during the era of HBO specials and chair-burning late-night appearances, it captures one of the wildest, most unpredictable voices in stand-up at the absolute top of his game.
