really kind of funny 1023 00:40:13,900 --> 00:40:17,540 because I was reminded at one point, 1024 00:40:17,540 --> 00:40:19,460 I went up there, I was standing there 1025 00:40:19,460 --> 00:40:21,900 and I was talking to some of these guys 1026 00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:24,620 and I was standing outside and then Kenny came out to do, 1027 00:40:24,620 --> 00:40:26,340 they always do open mics or whatever, 1028 00:40:26,340 --> 00:40:28,460 they have a little comics meeting, discuss the order, 1029 00:40:28,460 --> 00:40:30,180 make sure everybody's there, call everybody's names 1030 00:40:30,180 --> 00:40:32,140 and then when he started doing that, 1031 00:40:32,140 --> 00:40:35,220 I stepped out of the way so he could do his thing. 1032 00:40:35,220 --> 00:40:38,260 And I remember sitting over there, standing on the side, 1033 00:40:38,260 --> 00:40:40,220 I was standing on the side, 1034 00:40:40,220 --> 00:40:42,180 I didn't wanna walk through his situation 1035 00:40:42,180 --> 00:40:44,900 to go back inside off the patio there 1036 00:40:44,900 --> 00:40:49,340 and I just was looking at these faces 1037 00:40:49,340 --> 00:40:53,540 of these mostly young comics. 1038 00:40:55,260 --> 00:40:59,060 And it brought back so many memories. 1039 00:40:59,060 --> 00:41:02,540 It brought back so much of the times where I'm sitting there 1040 00:41:02,540 --> 00:41:07,540 going, man, I so completely remember being there. 1041 00:41:07,540 --> 00:41:12,540 It wasn't fear, it wasn't nervousness necessarily, 1042 00:41:15,540 --> 00:41:18,580 definitely in some and I know I've been there, 1043 00:41:18,580 --> 00:41:19,980 I probably look like that. 1044 00:41:19,980 --> 00:41:21,580 If you put me on a big show, 1045 00:41:21,580 --> 00:41:23,820 I'm sure I would look like that. 1046 00:41:23,820 --> 00:41:25,620 I'm a comic. 1047 00:41:25,620 --> 00:41:26,860 Comics get like that no matter what. 1048 00:41:26,860 --> 00:41:29,380 You can be doing comedy for a long time. 1049 00:41:29,380 --> 00:41:31,540 You go through something in your head 1050 00:41:31,540 --> 00:41:32,700 before you're gonna go out there 1051 00:41:32,700 --> 00:41:34,140 just like you do anything else. 1052 00:41:34,140 --> 00:41:38,060 Just sports people, whatever. 1053 00:41:38,060 --> 00:41:40,300 If you're going to do your big thing, 1054 00:41:40,300 --> 00:41:41,540 gotta get fired up for it. 1055 00:41:41,540 --> 00:41:44,860 But I just remember looking at these faces of these comics 1056 00:41:44,860 --> 00:41:49,860 and I remember being there and it was one of those things, 1057 00:41:50,020 --> 00:41:55,020 it made me think, there are times that I feel 1058 00:41:55,540 --> 00:41:56,980 and I know other people out there do 1059 00:41:56,980 --> 00:41:59,760 because I correspond with you in different ways. 1060 00:42:00,660 --> 00:42:03,100 You feel sometimes, you do feel sometimes 1061 00:42:03,100 --> 00:42:07,980 like okay, I got this all straight. 1062 00:42:07,980 --> 00:42:09,200 I got it all down. 1063 00:42:10,340 --> 00:42:12,060 I'm doing what I should be doing. 1064 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,660 But what I saw on their faces 1065 00:42:15,660 --> 00:42:20,180 was one of the things that I think I missed about comedy 1066 00:42:20,180 --> 00:42:22,940 because these young comics have really just 1067 00:42:22,940 --> 00:42:24,860 reawakened something in me. 1068 00:42:24,860 --> 00:42:28,420 And it is with being around their youth 1069 00:42:28,420 --> 00:42:32,380 and how much they just, for lack of a better term, 1070 00:42:32,380 --> 00:42:33,640 they just don't know. 1071 00:42:34,860 --> 00:42:37,380 But I like it, it's great. 1072 00:42:37,380 --> 00:42:39,220 They haven't been made bitter and jaded. 1073 00:42:39,220 --> 00:42:40,600 They're just hopeful. 1074 00:42:41,780 --> 00:42:43,380 And they're ready to be. 1075 00:42:43,380 --> 00:42:47,960 We're so ready to just be, that's it, I'm set. 1076 00:42:49,980 --> 00:42:51,180 There's no challenges. 1077 00:42:51,180 --> 00:42:53,780 And I was thinking, I'm like, man, 1078 00:42:53,780 --> 00:42:56,460 I have not challenged myself enough, 1079 00:42:57,460 --> 00:42:59,220 is what I was thinking. 1080 00:42:59,220 --> 00:43:01,620 And I saw it in their faces at a young age. 1081 00:43:01,620 --> 00:43:05,260 And I think that's one thing that we lose sometimes 1082 00:43:05,260 --> 00:43:06,980 as we get older. 1083 00:43:06,980 --> 00:43:11,100 We've lost that ability or that want to be challenged. 1084 00:43:12,020 --> 00:43:15,300 And I'm sure, I'm sure that's why people go skydiving. 1085 00:43:15,300 --> 00:43:17,020 I'm sure that's why people go bungee jumping. 1086 00:43:17,020 --> 00:43:18,620 I've done the bungee. 1087 00:43:19,500 --> 00:43:21,180 That's a little scary. 1088 00:43:21,180 --> 00:43:22,580 I've done the little slingshot thing. 1089 00:43:22,580 --> 00:43:23,940 You know the ones you always see the videos, 1090 00:43:23,940 --> 00:43:25,660 they always have them on Facebook and stuff 1091 00:43:25,660 --> 00:43:27,400 and it's some chick in a tank top 1092 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,160 and she flies up in her boobs. 1093 00:43:30,340 --> 00:43:31,300 Almost come out of her shirt. 1094 00:43:31,300 --> 00:43:34,580 But not quite, not quite because it is Facebook. 1095 00:43:35,500 --> 00:43:38,260 I don't think we do that enough anymore 1096 00:43:38,260 --> 00:43:42,520 because these people, these kids mostly, 1097 00:43:43,460 --> 00:43:45,860 I'm 49, I'll say it, they're kids. 1098 00:43:46,820 --> 00:43:48,000 I mean, I took some time off from it, 1099 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,460 but I was doing comedy before almost all of them 1100 00:43:50,460 --> 00:43:51,580 were even born. 1101 00:43:51,580 --> 00:43:52,860 There's a couple of people that were not. 1102 00:43:52,860 --> 00:43:56,660 But the point is, is that seeing it in them, 1103 00:43:56,660 --> 00:44:00,300 these young people, they're facing fear 1104 00:44:00,300 --> 00:44:03,480 because they have a dream and they have a goal. 1105 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,920 Like I say, if you're gonna go skydiving, 1106 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,440 that's great, that's awesome. 1107 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:10,840 You like the thrill. 1108 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,740 But what are you trying to do by skydiving? 1109 00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:15,340 Yeah, it's scary. 1110 00:44:15,340 --> 00:44:19,160 I give kudos and credit to anybody who's ever done it. 1111 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:20,460 I might do it one day. 1112 00:44:20,460 --> 00:44:21,800 I don't know. 1113 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:22,920 I better hurry up, I guess. 1114 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,720 But I might. 1115 00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:29,300 I mean, I'm doing it as a goal of saying, yeah, I did it. 1116 00:44:29,300 --> 00:44:32,480 But that's where it stops. 1117 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:37,280 These young folks that I saw at the Clash of the Comics 1118 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,640 are trying to get somewhere with it. 1119 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,040 They wanna be comics for forever. 1120 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,720 And honestly, that is one of the biggest things 1121 00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:48,900 I think I ever loved about it was because I'm facing fear, 1122 00:44:48,900 --> 00:44:52,460 I'm facing nervousness, I'm facing a challenge, 1123 00:44:52,460 --> 00:44:55,320 but I have a big goal in it. 1124 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,520 And I think people lose it. 1125 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,660 I think people have lost that. 1126 00:44:59,660 --> 00:45:01,460 I don't want anything to be different. 1127 00:45:01,460 --> 00:45:04,520 I want everything to be just the same all the time. 1128 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,900 Don't get me wrong, I'm a creature of habit. 1129 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,600 So I'm just saying, they so reminded me of it. 1130 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,720 And you know, all great comics, 1131 00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:17,800 some really, really great comics, timing, cadence. 1132 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,200 It's also, it's fun to watch that too. 1133 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,680 It's just fun to watch with these people, 1134 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,940 these younger folks and them getting into it. 1135 00:45:24,940 --> 00:45:27,940 And some of the, one of them asked me, 1136 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,280 one of them asked me, he was like, hey, 1137 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,280 so like, you just do like all the same jokes 1138 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:34,120 over and over again? 1139 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:34,940 I'm like, what are you talking about? 1140 00:45:34,940 --> 00:45:36,440 I said, no, you write new jokes. 1141 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:37,660 He goes, yeah, but when you go on the road, 1142 00:45:37,660 --> 00:45:40,480 do you always do the same act? 1143 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,500 And I said, well, that's part of, yeah. 1144 00:45:42,500 --> 00:45:43,920 I mean, that's kind of what you do. 1145 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,120 I mean, the jokes seem like they're right off the cuff 1146 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,300 and they might be. 1147 00:45:49,300 --> 00:45:53,300 But no, a lot of times you take this ball of, 1148 00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:57,520 of, you know, comedy clay and you get it 1149 00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,680 into a nice round ball and you take it 1150 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,000 and you shine it up and you whatever, 1151 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,920 and you make it a nice, pretty object of comedy. 1152 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,400 And you take that and you sling it to, you know, 1153 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,040 you sling it at a bowling alley 1154 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,040 on a Tuesday night outside of Pittsburgh. 1155 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,880 Yeah, and that's what you do. 1156 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,240 It's not always like that, obviously. 1157 00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:22,720 You have the dream to eventually be like to do 1158 00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:24,680 the new Tom Segura special where you're filming 1159 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,560 in a big, you know, in the round place. 1160 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:29,880 I don't think I could ever do that. 1161 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,360 But I suppose, I hear that's good. 1162 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,320 I hear it's good by the way, the Tom Segura special. 1163 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,760 I don't think I could ever do comedy in the round though. 1164 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,960 I know the people behind me and then you're turning 1165 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,160 and then it's like, yeah, I don't know. 1166 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:43,980 What the fuck? 1167 00:46:43,980 --> 00:46:45,680 Carlin did it years ago. 1168 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,440 I remember watching his special. 1169 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:48,920 Yeah, he was in the round. 1170 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,400 Yeah, it's like, I don't know. 1171 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:53,480 Because then you say something 1172 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:54,840 and then the people are laughing behind you. 1173 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,520 You're not used to having people laugh behind you. 1174 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,080 You're used to people laughing in front of you, 1175 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,400 maybe to the sides, right? 1176 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:01,440 It's gotta be a little odd. 1177 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,960 I don't have Netflix right now 1178 00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:03,880 and I'm not gonna get them back 1179 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,620 because they just did away with my $10 plan, 1180 00:47:05,620 --> 00:47:07,160 you sons of bitches. 1181 00:47:07,160
