Grandmaster B
On May 28th the Bundy Club came together for another lively Bundy Breakdown Zoom Watch Party. Comedian and longtime podcast host Greg Fitzsimmons joined David Faustino, Darren Blatt, Brian, Richard Gurman, and a full room of members to break down Season 6 Episode 3: “If Al Had a Hammer.” This was the debut of Grandmaster B, and having Greg experience the episode for the very first time created some of the best moments of the night.
The full replay is now available for members in the group. If you have not watched it yet, grab a seat and enjoy the laughs.

Was fortunate enough to make it out to LA (from Philly and the blizzard) for the reunion show. My wife and I also made it to the afterparty, and I won the signed poster which was a HUGE highlight for me. Now just to find a place to hang it!
Bud Bundy was never the cool kid. He was the underdog trying hardest, failing hardest, getting back up anyway. I built him through experimentation, instinct, and a whole lot of teenage trial and error. Ambition without opportunity. Confidence without results. That imbalance was comedy gold.
Bud Bundy started as the overlooked kid brother. But as the show grew, his insecurity, ambition, and Grandmaster B alter ego turned him into one of the show’s most relatable and funniest characters.
