Why You Stay ‘Til 2
The BKO All-Stars - Don Barris, Maryjane, Steven Brody Stevens, Bryan Callen, Justin Martindale, Tony Hinchcliffe, Pete “Best” Cornaccione and Ben Seaward rocking out at the end of the night.
I’ve stayed at the Store far past 2a. I was witness to this spectacle with The Girlfriend. Brody Stevens yelled at me, Barris said some of the most vile (and hilarious) shit to The Girlfriend, and WeHo Jesus kept quiet in the back, nodding at every laugh because, yes, it’s expected.
I can’t really explain what happens because it’s so unrehearsed and mildly demented that to even try to categorize it would be stupid. Let’s just say that shit started around 1a and the room cleared REALLY fast.
Best part? They kept it going, just for us. In the parking lot, they all said to us “Thanks for staying.” The fourth wall had broken down. I wish it hadn’t because I thought humans were genuinely that twisted.
We probably looked like a bunch of losers, just waiting for the next curve all. They kept coming, and that’s why we stayed.
Do yourself a favor and stay past 2a. At least once. I won’t ruin it (only because I’m quite certain the show changes).
