Randolph-Macon College in Ashland Virginia for having me up there for a

9
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:59,240
comedy night which was awesome back on the September 3rd I hadn't been on stage

10
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,840
that long in years I think I did about 17 minutes most of it majority of it was

11
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,640
brand new material like literally I have you know it's literally months months

12
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,720
old not some of the other stuff that I am you know parlaying when I do a set

13
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,760
here and there that is more along the lines of you know stuff I did years ago

14
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,360
or maybe I've added something onto it but no this was a lot of it was just

15
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:31,240
brand new brand new never and these people were so cool these I had said I

16
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,260
felt terrible because I put a thing on Facebook about it and I said let me see

17
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:42,640
if I can make some college and it's it freaking fucking auto spell corrected to

18
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,400
folk to kids I was trying to put folks and auto yeah I was bad I didn't see it

19
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:54,240
like two hours afterwards but yeah I went out and these these folks these

20
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,260
college folks were so nice and supportive Elizabeth I believe yeah

21
00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:02,800
Elizabeth I should remember that because it's it's a name that's very prevalent

22
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:09,520
in in my family multiple levels and I should remember that Elizabeth and then

23
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,760
Ren who he was awesome but I got to help me out with trying to make sure my phone

24
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,880
was set up I don't know I couldn't find out how to get my phone on the thing I

25
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,520
wanted to record it while I was on stage and I had I was like I wanted to turn

26
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,080
off the lock screen and he helped me with that I don't know why I was having a

27
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,160
problem I'm only 49 but they were awesome very cool I did new material I

28
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,880
had jokes that I wrote just for them or just for maybe a college crowd but it

29
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,720
actually I think are jokes that I could end up using in the future just in

30
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,000
general which I think was awesome I won't tell them to you here but if you

31
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,920
want to see me you can come see me do comedy I know I have a face for radio

32
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:56,160
now but you know I'm still I'm still gonna be out there I'm still gonna be

33
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,360
out there but they so cool to hang out and do that hadn't been on a stage that

34
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:06,400
big in a very very long time it wasn't even that big of an auditorium I think

35
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:12,520
it says it can see like 400 or six maybe 600 but I don't know it was that big but

36
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:18,360
it was a nice audience good-sized crowd and they were very supportive very cool

37
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,960
and Brent Blakeney was the headliner had never met him before heard many

38
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,080
things about him yeah guy who's younger than me I say younger because he's

39
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,120
younger than me but I think he's he's been doing comedy while but I'd never

40
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,400
met him before very solid comedian if you ever see him anywhere around you on

41
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,680
a show I highly recommend going to see him he's a funny dude a very nice guy

42
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:46,240
and but yeah the people were very supportive it was awesome and I had a

43
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,440
good time it was just weird to be on a stage like that because the only thing

44
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,760
I've been doing has been open mics right so I didn't really know what to expect

45
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,600
first they said you know it's college kids it's in Richmond I'm thinking

46
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:03,640
rowdy college kids like I've done a lot of shows that are campus adjacent to a

47
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,280
big college Shippensburg University or Virginia Tech or Radford or University

48
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,400
of Florida those are just ones that stick out to where I had you know

49
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:18,520
different times where I was I was I was campus adjacent to where the actual

50
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,160
college was so a lot of you know there was booze in there was all kinds of

51
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,520
other stuff going on and I was into it at the time now this was different this

52
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:34,800
was actually on campus in in a school building and so on campus had to be as

53
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:41,680
they put it clean at PG 18 which I think is what I did and you know but I was

54
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,520
kind of sweating it I was kind of sweating over the course of the week

55
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:51,000
thinking oh my god how am I gonna do this because campus adjacent no so I was

56
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,840
like okay I really got to be on my game here and so I kind of did I did a little

57
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:01,240
sweating I planned it very well I rehearsed most of it sort of going

58
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,720
through my head making sure that everything was kind of copacetic had

59
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,280
brand new stuff that I wrote just for the show about me being an older person

60
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:15,400
than they are and everybody was really cool everybody's very cool I had a good

61
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,360
time I got done with it really thought you know like I walked out there was so

62
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,000
strange like they said okay it's gonna be about ten minutes ten minutes until

63
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000
till the show starts and I you know I was sitting there at one point like man I

64
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,960
was telling my lovely wife Liz the night before you know I'm just I'm kind of

65
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,640
nervous I don't know what I was doing thinking out okay yeah I go entertain

66
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:45,560
some some college kids right it'd be fine it'll be fine but you know what I

67
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,320
did I just said look you know what's gonna happen is gonna happen this is

68
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,000
definitely not gonna be the worst show that I've ever done you know I've had

69
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,320
I've had worse shows I knew I would have I knew before I even went out there

70
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,760
whether it was good or bad that I have had worse shows than what I was going to

71
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,320
experience on that stage and so I just went out there and just did my thing and

72
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,520
so but they said all right John you know come on out and that's and I went out

73
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,880
there and I thought it literally I was about and there was a curtain I had to

74
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:21,400
go out from behind a curtain and yeah it was like on like stage stage and I was

75
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,240
like okay and I just peeled it back I went right back at right out there and I

76
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,740
was just I don't know it reminded me a good bit a little bit not that it's the

77
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:36,720
same not that my experience is the same but it reminded me of the scene in the

78
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,720
movie comedian if anybody's ever seen that if you are a comic you need to see

79
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,480
the movie comedian with Jerry Seinfeld and Orny Adams it's more of a

80
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,600
documentary it's about when Seinfeld got back into doing stand-up after not being

81
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,360
in it for a long time he threw away all of his old jokes and started over again

82
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,680
now his process was a lot easier because he was Jerry Seinfeld he could go to the

83
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,600
best clubs in anywhere in the country and say hey can I do a set to practice

84
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:07,000
and they go absolutely because why would they not I get it but there's this one

85
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,240
scene in the movie where he does he talks about you know I just need to get

86
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,040
that get that mic out of the stand and that's it I'm back in show business and

87
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,640
I don't think I was quite there yet but there is a scene earlier in there where

88
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:25,480
he talks about the new stuff is starting to feel like the act you know it's

89
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,280
starting to feel like the old like the old act used to just that comfort level

90
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,040
and I did I did some of these jokes I've done them I know the people who go to

91
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:40,160
open mics are like yeah same whatever same eight ten twelve jokes that you've

92
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:50,640
been working on so I felt there was definitely a point what a dare even when

93
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,640
I was doing my set I was like this is yeah this is it and I felt awesome and

94
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,280
the people were nice and I you know I may never ever do another show like that

95
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,480
ever again I have no idea however I would definitely if I don't care

96
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:12,400
whatever happens to me as far as you know I could let's say I somehow became

97
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,000
famous tomorrow and they you know hey Randolph make yeah gosh darn it we're

98
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,480

102
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,440
just notes just notes of things that I've written down over the course of I

103
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,040
don't know how many weeks not even two or three weeks after my last episode was

104
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,840
July 22nd but I'm saying just stuff I've written down just in the past two or

105
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,400
three weeks and I know they say some people say well why are you talking

106
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,400
about current events why why don't you come up with something that's a little

107
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,840
better you used to talk about you know weird tourist traps that's what somebody

108
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,680
reminded me of the other day yeah back a couple years ago at an episode and one

109
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:16,280
in the episode I did a feature I don't know what you call it but I did a thing

110
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:22,520
about a segment talking about some of the weirdest tourist traps in the United

111
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:29,160
States and I actually one of them do you remember in the movie it was the movie

112
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,600
in the movie vacation national lampoon's vacation there was a part where he's

113
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,360
like oh you know Clark is sitting there going oh you want to see the world's

114
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,960
biggest ball of twine that is a real thing so anyways people like once you do

115
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,440
that we like them do that and I you know I will but I want them

116
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:54,880
I want to do them with somebody else on here I'm tired of talking to myself I

117
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,560
mean I'm talking to you but I'm talking to myself you know what I mean

118
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:03,320
I know people like hey Jonn maybe you should go out make some friends I'm like

119
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:10,800
I know I appreciate it thank you a lot of much thank you very much I yeah and

120
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,200
a lot of people like what I talk about occurred events when they're more

121
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,520
current as for instance I was doing that the Randolph-Macon show yeah I stopped

122
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,920
by to get something at the local Wawa to get something to drink or I get

123
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,160
something for the ride home no booze of course just some a half and half which

124
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,880
was terrible Wawa please get better on your on your drink making I don't I

125
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:37,360
don't ask a lot but for a dollar forty nine you know for a bottle that size I

126
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,200
just you know could you make it a little a little better just a little bit just a

127
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,840
little bit anyway I stopped there while I'm in the store I hear this woman

128
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:54,320
talking about how Jimmy Buffett had died and she was very upset just there I mean

129
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,280
and I'd like screaming and crying but she was oh my god that's terrible now

130
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:09,240
look this woman was mmm okay probably early 60s that would been my guess I've

131
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,360
been very wrong about that and times about guessing somebody's age much less

132
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:19,640
a woman's and it's actually been a sort of a bad situation however that that

133
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,480
would be my guess if I worked at a carnival or something like that and what

134
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,600
was the guess your age that's what I would have guessed now this woman so she

135
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,360
oh my god that's terrible Jimmy Buffett right hadn't heard about it and you know

136
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:38,440
the I'm staying waiting there to pay for my for my half and half my Arnold

137
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:45,200
Palmer tea thingy and she said oh my god she said did you know about that I said

138
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,560
yeah I knew about it a couple days ago she was that's terrible and I just went

139
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:57,160
yeah yeah that's what I did and the woman the look this woman gave me the

140
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:05,160
look that this woman gave me yeah she just she just oh my gosh he thought it

141
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,000
you would have thought I stomped on her foot I mean not the pain part but just

142
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:19,280
the look of just this just what what what she just had that look but are you

143
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,560
serious I think yeah I was never I don't understand Jimmy Buffett I don't

144
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:31,600
understand the whole yeah oh yeah the song Margaritaville what the fuck that

145
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:39,400
song is sad I it just it's about a you know I mean in a way it's relatable

146
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,320
because the guy seems like he's a loser like me but he's not you know anybody

147
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,080
lives at the beach I guess he's got me beat on that part I've personally I just

148
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,000
I never really I never liked a lot of the music cheeseburgers in paradise what

149
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,480
the fuck are you talking about Jimmy seriously cheeseburgers in paradise and

150
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:03,380

00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:18,240
found it him to be a great artist in my opinion but other people did other

153
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,120
people did I know I mean other people I've been to concert oh you're going to

154
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,240
that concert yeah I'm going to that concert why because I like their music

155
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:30,200
so okay if you liked his music fine good for you but don't sit there and go oh

156
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,440
Jimmy but like he was an iconic legend to some people to the rest of America he

157
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,520
was just some guy that made a bunch of music and made a shit ton of money off

158
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:44,320
of it you know I don't think anything was ever established more than that I

159
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,680
be able to say no you're just gonna sit here and disparage him after he's dead

160
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:51,840
no what I'm saying though is that I never really thought he was all that

161
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,320
great everyone knows margaritaville restaurants I mean that place I don't

162
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:02,040
know you know I don't sometimes the guy made his money all the time are you going

163
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:07,400
to see Jimmy Buffett no why not cuz I don't like his music how do you not like

164
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:13,300
Jimmy Buffett because I don't I love tequila I hate flip-flops okay how about

165
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:22,840
that you know like just no I didn't I didn't really seem to care but at the

166
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,960
same time I'm not I am a human being that is you know I have empathy and I

167
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,920
have you know feelings about stuff and I don't want bad things to happen to

168
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:38,880
people just in general so you know hey rest in peace to Jimmy Buffett thanks

169
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:44,640
for the whatever you know and that may be an unpopular opinion to a lot of

170
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:51,440
people but no I don't I'm not really that upset about it so you know it's just

171
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,400
one of those things where you know you sit there and people are like oh yeah

172

00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:12,320
if I could Jimmy Buffett died whoo all right good golly you know I was way more

175
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,320
upset about the passing of Paul Rubens PB Herman but I was a huge fan of him I

176
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:24,000
was a big fan of him so why you know that's my that's my thing but if

181
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:50,040
out of nowhere and just stomped on her foot like why why yeah she died from

182
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,260
skin cancer which is something else it's terrible like I don't like the

183
00:15:53,260 --> 00:15:56,480
situation of it but I'm not sitting here crying about the fact that Jimmy Buffett

184
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,120
died period I'm not I'm not sorry about it I'm sorry to the people who loved and

185

186
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,280
aspect but don't get judgmental on somebody else because they don't care

187
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,960
that Jimmy Buffett died I don't I never did I my condolences to everybody who

188
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,520
loved and knew him but I don't give a shit about the fact that Jimmy Buffett

189
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,080
died other than that other than that that he was a human being and he died

190
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:31,480
okay that's it do you know how many fucking people I knew that were mad

191
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,240

193
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:45,840
many years I had living off that one frickin song come on and then of course

194
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,840

195
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,520

196
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,440
Buffett and his one thing his one claim to fame and you're gonna sit there be

197
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,440
such a huge fan of Paul Rubin's because Paul Rubin's was a fucking actor that

198
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,960
did more than just Pee Wee Herman he was in the Cheats and Chong movies right

199
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:14,680
remember the sorry I'm sorry I'm not sorry yeah and he actually had a six

200
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:21,000
year battle with cancer and you know but hey that that's me but I'm not gonna

201
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
sit there and judge somebody because you don't like Paul Rubin's I'm not you're

202
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,800
not upset you're not a saddened you're not saddened by the fact that Paul

203
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,800
Rubin's died okay okay I'm fine with that long as I'll stomp on my foot I'm

204
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:40,440
happy with you I don't care you know that was but I saw I mean I saw Pee Wee's

205
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,920
big adventure probably a thousand times I've probably seen it like a thousand

206
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:51,280
times Pee Wee's big adventure and you know it's one of those movies I can

207
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,400
watch it for a few minutes go away come back I know exactly what's going on the

208
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,600
quotes from it all you know I don't make monkeys I just train them obviously tell

209
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,600
them large Marge sent you you know just just a ton I'm a I'm a loner I'm a rebel

210
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,560
I think my favorite I think my favorite part of that movie there's a bunch of

211
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:18,760
love Jan Hooks is the tour guide at the Alamo she was she was awesome and that

212
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,480
movie just eclectic characters and just the zaniness of Pee Wee but I think my

213
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,800
favorite part was when he's in they make a movie about him going to find his bike

214
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,520
and everything and of course it's all Hollywood it up and he's sitting there

215
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,680
he plays the bellhop and he's has to page Pee Wee Herman which is that do

216
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,840
that actor do with the I don't remember I don't remember his name but he's

217
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,000
sitting there and he they get the bellhop the actual Pee Wee to come over

218
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,780
and he's like paging mr. Herman paging mr. Pee Wee Herman because they took his

219
00:18:49,780 --> 00:18:54,880
voice out and they they dubbed it out to somebody else it's one of the best parts

220
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,040
of the whole movie that and when the Jan Hooks is laughing going there's no

221
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:04,400
basement in the Alamo yeah but Paul Rubens though they just he did a bunch

222
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,520
of this stuff and I loved him I loved when he popped up in different things I

223
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,120
personally was very sad to hear about the passing of Paul Rubens and another

224
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:18,800
one that I was very sad to hear about was the passing of Johnny Hardwick who

225
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,520
if you don't know Johnny Hardwick is you probably know him as the wild conspiracy

226
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:30,120
theorist dang it Dale I told you yeah you might know him he was the voice of

227
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:36,080
Dale Gribble on one of my favorite all-time shows King of the Hill passed

228
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:41,040
away and very suddenly and you know a lot of people didn't even realize all

229
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:46,240
the stuff that he did on that show they were making new episodes which I'm very

230
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,880
saddened to hear about that but you know he won't be a part of it actually if you

231
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,480
really want to see something pretty funny it's a little it's a little

232
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,080
eclectic I guess that's my word of the day I'm throwing that in there if you go

233
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:05,960
on YouTube there is a some videos some stuff that Johnny Hardwick put on where

234
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,920
he is reading like current event news and he's reading it in the voice of

235
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:18,280
rusty Shackleford yeah you know that yeah the the Dale Gribble what a Dale

236
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:24,880
Gribble's alter ego yeah and it's really does a chit-chat he does all that stuff

237
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,320
man it's pretty funny it's pretty funny he's smoking a joint in one of them I

238
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:35,320
thought that was pretty funny too here's one of the things though okay people

239
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:40,120
want to talk about oh if you liked King of the Hill which I know I did I still

240
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:47,600
do did you know so basically Johnny Hardwick was from Texas Austin area and

241
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:54,560
he had moved to LA he was doing a bit at the Laugh Factory yeah he was at the

242
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:59,120
Laugh Factory and he was doing a bit about his father back home in Texas and

243
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:05,960
Mike Judge was there and they were he was there with some other people and

244
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,520
they said he they said hey we like that that voice that character that you do

245
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,640
would you would you try maybe you want to try to do it on this show you know

246
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,520
it's about some people from Texas you're from Texas you get the accent down and

247
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,200
everything so he said yeah I'll do it and he did it one of the things though

248
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:29,440
about that whole thing with Johnny Hardwick being on the show is the fact

249
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:36,760
that Daniel Stern was originally had already been auditioned and casted pretty

250
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,720
much casted into the role now if you don't know who Daniel Stern is you would

251
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,640
know him as it's the Wet Bandits we're the Wet Bandits yeah that guy from Home

252
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:53,000
Alone was going to be the voice of Dale Gribble but then it didn't work out and

253
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,960
Johnny Hardwick got it and the rest is awesome comedy history so that made me

254
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:07,040
very sad as well and then of course Bob Barker oh my gosh 99 and all you people

255
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,880
out there with your jokes about oh he got the closest to a dollar without

256
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,320
going over hey you can still one you can see could have been a hundred and hit

257
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:22,440
the dollar mark okay you dummies yeah you can get a dollar on that wheel but

258
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,720
yeah you got 99 99 years old almost a hundred and but that you know that was

259
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,160
sad you know him and that weird stick microphone he had as a kid I don't know

260
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,680
how many times I watched it of course I watched it now people talk about oh

261
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:42,800
being home from school being home from school being sick playing hooky you know

262
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,080
faking sick whatever it is you were doing at the time you know a lot of

263
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:52,760
people thought oh he was my it was the babysitter but I used to watch a ton of

264
00:22:52,760 --> 00:23:00,120
prices right when when I was in the summertime yeah I would watch it it was

265
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:04,720
you know and watch it in them during them in the morning watch news I would

266
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,880
watch soap I was I watched a lot of soap operas in the in the summer I'm not

267
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,800
gonna like what was it one life to live or another world did my mom my mom

268
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,840
watched them and it's a summertime it's a middle of day right we didn't have a

269
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,840
air conditioning in the house but I would just lay on the floor in front of

270
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:26,400
a box fan in front of the TV and that's a mom wanted to watch that's what we were

271
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:34,880
watching and I got into it was it another world some like that yeah I had

272
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:39,320
a good old Bob Barker who was you know I don't know how many years old and he was

273
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:45,640
you know hanging out hanging out behind the scenes with some of the spokesmod

274
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:50,400
whatever what do they call those on the show you know the people that the people

275
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,200
that would go like this next to the stuff with the way their hands are you

276
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,560
know I'm talking about we all pretend to be them at some point in our life he was

277
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:02,840
notorious for having dated some of those much younger women that guy was so rich

278
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,840
so that was another one I mean I'm just saying this is just the whole first part

279
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,080
I'm already looking at potentially taking a break right now yeah that's it

280
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:18,160
that that much stuff to go over is literally comedy and people dying that's

281
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:23,880
this is what yeah one this is why I need somebody else on the show but also this

282
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,640
is the reason why it's just I need to do episodes more often right so that way I

283
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:35,120
can just talk about one person dying as opposed to four or you know and not go

284
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:39,000
on and I can go on a little more about other comedy stuff that I've done yeah

285
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,200
but that was cool very good time and ran off making I really did I had a great

286
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:48,760
time and then of course rest in peace to anybody and to my condolences to anybody

287
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,880
who knew and loved any of the people that died I mean that's that's it and

288
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,400
people are so morbid I'm not making a morbid I'm making it simply like a damn

289
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,480
like that you know you don't know yeah Paul Rubin's nobody knew he had a six

290
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,000
year battle with cancer Jimmy Buffett was having the same thing he was having

291
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:17,080
melanoma issues cancer yeah and you just don't know Bob Barker obviously he was

292
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:23,600
older but you never know man and and you know I just want to express my

293
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,920
appreciation and something going oh well didn't some women die I'm sure they did

294
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:34,480
but none that stick out to me at the moment I get it okay I'm not everybody

295
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,800
you want to you want to help me out you want to do some research hey hey John for

296

your dead person segment do you want to talk about this lady sure who what okay

297
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:51,920
I'm just saying there's no bias there's no gender bias in this you know I I saw

298
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:57,720

300
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,520
you get out and some lose yourself right right before you don't do a big comedy

301
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:14,440
so lose yourself in the moment yeah yeah and then you yeah right you get into

302
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:20,400
that but other than that yeah Eminem oh he's okay however I saw a thing the day

303
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,440
where he said you know he was like look I don't care if you're gay straight

304
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,360
lesbian whatever female fat skinny poor rich I don't care as long as you're nice

305
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:35,640

306
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,680
here all right well continuing we're gonna have to talk I gotta take a break

307
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,520
I gotta take a break this literally took up so much of my time I almost I think

308
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,240
I've almost recorded an entire episode just just this alone what the heck is

309
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,320
that about no I'm gonna this'll just get cut down but let me take a break real

310
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,560
quick and when we come back we'll be talking about some some more

311
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,680
entertainment this is more of just an entertainment I guess kind of an

312
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:05,840
episode when we're talking about a soca and then now we'll see what else we can

318
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,560

might have heard none some of you heard me go we'll be right back and then when

336
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:56,800
there I was I was right back so you know hey enjoy the enjoy the silence for a

337
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:03,160
second okay so as I was saying before the break yeah Ahsoka have you loved it

338
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,320
so far I you know what this is some of the best Star Wars we've ever gotten on

339
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:12,000
Disney Plus in my opinion and I thought that Andor Kenobi you know all this

340
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,560
stuff we're getting at this I was I really thought it was very good as far

341
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:23,440
as production quality went as far as musical scores went but Ahsoka does just

342
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,320
some of the directing some of the visualization of some of the things in

343
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,080
it have been awesome I think Rosario Dawson is doing a great job with Ahsoka

344
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:37,160
no spoilers in this at all I'm trying to keep it at least to a minimum I think

345
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:42,720
Ahsoka is proving that the the weight was well worth it you know because there

346
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,660
is of course all this stuff that was delayed because of COVID as far as

347
00:29:47,660 --> 00:29:52,960
production went now of course we're gonna be facing another bit of a delay

348
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,680
before we get back some of our favorite content to consume because of the

349
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:03,440
ongoing WGA sag after strikes which I said in the last episode are very

350
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:09,600
important so I am supportive of them however I will say that this is gonna

351
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:15,240
suck it's gonna suck it's gonna suck a little bit but I think it's been awesome

352
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,200
I think it's been well worth it some of the back stories I mean if you know the

353
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:24,680
backstory of Ahsoka if you know the backstory of of of rebels if you know

354
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:31,080
all that you're good you're very good but even if you're not it's still very

355
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:36,440
much easy to pick up on I'm still waiting I'm still waiting for Mandalorian

356
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:41,000
to come to show up once he's gonna show up I heard that there was something

357
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,240
going on you know like you know him come up and then and then Grogu with his

358
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,680
walking robot Casey didn't know who that was going on and if you haven't seen

359
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:56,040
Mandalorian season 3 okay there might have been a little bit of a spoiler but

360
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:01,720
nonetheless yeah but that was in that came out months ago I'm not I'm not sad

361
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,080
about that I'm not I don't feel bad about doing it I don't mind talking

362
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,400
about something that's months old now a matter of a couple of weeks or a month

363
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,880
or whatever that's a little different that's a little different but like I

364
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,080
always said I would tell the story we're having people over here at the house and

365
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,400
I talked about how in the Force Awakens I didn't like how Han Solo died and

366
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,960
somebody would that was here for the little party we were having was that oh

367
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,440
my god he dies and it was like it's been seven months if you haven't seen it by

368
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:37,120
now I don't know what to tell you sorry but anyways yeah I'm just waiting for

369
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,160
Mando to show up I don't know when he will because they all intertwine

370
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:46,400
Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka they all intertwine I'm very impressed

371
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,440
with it special effects the music have been cool you know I do regret the fact

372
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,680
that I've been having to watch it on my on my MacBook down here in the stufas

373
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:01,280
because which is great because I get great sound from the actual from my

374
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:06,360
studio equipment I put the headphones on I get great sound however the picture

375
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,400
lead is a little lacking and it's a MacBook I mean it's it's a few years old

376
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,000
MacBook too but even then it's the size of the screen it's not the you know it's

377
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,880
the size it is literally the size of the screen that's what I'm is what I'm

378
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:23,960
fussing about it's literally the size what can I say I'm a side king when it

379
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:31,760
comes to my my viewing screens it's pretty good pretty pretty good pretty

380
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:37,760
pretty good anyway so check that out it's on Disney Plus Ahsoka I highly

381
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:44,400
recommend it I you know I just it was burning a hole in my in my my mental

382
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:50,320
health that I hadn't I hadn't made a new episode in so long but at the same time

383
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,160
I don't feel bad if I'm busy doing things and I really feel like I have been

384
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,760
and when I'm not I should go record I'm just tired and I don't know what to talk

385
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:04,400
about and and I'm doing what I can I really appreciate everybody who listened

386
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:11,240
to episode 54 by the way oh my goodness oh my goodness it was absolutely I don't

387
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:16,840
know what happened it popped off in several places and you know long story

388
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,960
short and just awesome I really appreciate that anybody listen to it but

389
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:26,920
I do want to say I didn't I was gonna mention it earlier but I you know I did

390
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:33,720
get I went on on Apple podcasts I have some reviews some ratings it's only like

391
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,200
eight of them which I would hope there'd be more and like I said I don't usually

392
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,080
like tough numbers because some people say that's all you got some people would

393
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,400
say wow we wish we had that whatever but I would think the way I would have more

394
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:53,920
but I got a one star I got a one star on Apple and I really you know you know who

395
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,800
leaves one stars on Apple podcast people who live in giant houses and tip their

396
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,560
door dash drivers two dollars those are the type of people like what who does

397
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:06,040
that you're just gonna go around one I you know I can't just the fact that

398
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,640
you're doing something just the fact that you're making something and making

399
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:14,080
an effort I think it's three stars out of five unless it's really bad then

400
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:20,200
maybe it's two but yeah yeah somebody gave me a one star and I think it was

401
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,880
probably I want to say maybe did they go but did they listen to episode 2

402
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:29,400
because I went back and listen to that the other day and oh my god just a just

403
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:38,520
a drunkenness and the rambling of it was just yeah I was not I was like man why

404
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:43,240
did I ever think that this was a good idea to be talking like this I think I

405
00:34:43,240 --> 00:34:48,560
sound better now like who gives a one star to somebody I think was probably

406
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,000
one of my exes I think that's what it was oh my god John has a podcast really

407
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:59,880
I'll give it a listen ten seconds later it sucks just like he does boo one star

408
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:09,000
you know that's what I feel that's what I feel it is I mean that's in my opinion

409
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:16,000
what else gonna be it's not that bad really is it so thank you for listening
