00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Hey everybody, welcome to Jon D. podcast. I'm your host, Jon D. Miller. Welcome to episode number 61. Everybody number 61.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Numeros. Sesenta y Uno. The in the ole espanol language. That's right. Mm-hmm.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
1089

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Going on one thousand ninety days now, as I am recording this intro, days of no booze, no booze, yeah, no booze. Yeah. How are you? How are you? How are you?

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:35,000
That's right. I say intro because I have a very interesting episode for you this evening day, night wherever you are.

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Walking the dog, waiting for the test results from the doctor. I don't know, but it's a really cool thing. I was joined in the studio the other day by none other than one of my new comedy friends, a local guy that I've seen around here in the RVA comedy scene,

7
00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:06,000
comedian Patrick Logan was here the other day and it was a really good talk, a very good conversation. It actually got a little more in depth than I thought I would. You know, I'd never sat and talked with Patrick before.

8
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Not like this, you know, we've had conversations here and there outside of, you know, shows that we've done stuff like that and some talking back and forth through a phone text and you know, whatever.

9
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:30,000
But not not like this and it was cool. And I learned a lot about the guy, learned about how he uses his life experiences and not just comedy, but how he lives his life nowadays.

10
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
You know, and also, you know, kind of what he plans to do with himself. It was a good talk. It was very cool.

11
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:48,000
And he got to come over. He got to meet the wife and the kid and it was fun. It was very nice. I do warn you that my chair was a little creaky.

12
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And when I was recording this, I'm using two mics in this room. We've taken some of the stuff out of the room. So it was a little more airing as to it.

13
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:10,000
It was really good. It was good. It was, you know, just a couple of guys. It was nice to sit and talk about comedy like that. We kind of tried to go in some other stuff, but, you know, it just kind of kept coming back to that one main theme.

14
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:25,000
And it was awesome. It's always nice to hang out and talk shop with somebody who knows what it's like to try to go up on a stage and and then make people laugh to we vote that one emotion at a people.

15
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
And we talked about how you do it and where you go for it and a lot of them between.

16
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
We're quick before we get to a do offer get follow me on social media,

21
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,000
It starts off. We're kind of just talking and that's what it ends up being pretty much the whole time.

22
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
So I had a good time. It was fun. So what that being said,

Hang out and enjoy episode 61 of Jon D. Podcast with comedian Patrick Logan.

24
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I'm more worried about getting canceled than my mom getting mad at me or my job firing me.

25
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Well, that is on recording.

26
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Yeah, I just started recording.

27
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
I just started recording about whatever. So literally it cuts in.

28
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
What you going, I am more worried about getting canceled.

29
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Yeah.

30
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Then you don't say something that you know,

31
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
little say any bad words. We're good. There's only two words that I think are bad.

32
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
So I don't think there.

33
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
What words do you think are bad, Patrick?

34
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Then I can't, then I'm not allowed to say we all know them.

35
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
You know, you tell what words do you think they are?

36
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Oh, I'm not.

37
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
No, I'm not going to say them.

38
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
But yeah, I mean, there are definitely words that

39
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
I can't believe people say in general, in general.

40
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
For instance, we were talking, you know, like the N word.

41
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Right?

42
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
I don't know, like, what the, I know what the societal background,

43
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
I'm so like, the hesitant and the history and everything.

44
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
I know all about that.

45
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
But I just don't, like, every time I hear it, I don't.

46
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Anytime I hear somebody that's not a black person say the word,

47
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
I literally, I just, I just, I just, I just, something in my brain that goes,

48
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
I can't believe that somebody just said that.

49
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Like, I don't know where they get it in their mind

50
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
that they think that they're allowed to say it.

51
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
And it could be just the way that I grew up.

52
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
I mean, I grew up in the city.

53
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I went to rich and public schools when I was a kid.

54
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
So, yeah, I just, I don't, I've never understood that.

55
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
But I'll the other words.

56
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Well, like, there's like the C word, right?

57
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
But C, if you go to England, it's not, it's like calling,

58
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
it's like calling a woman a bitch.

59
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
It's like a term of indierment.

60
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000
And it can be.

61
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
I said, well, British guy, he would say it all a time.

62
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Yeah.

63
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
And he worked for like the British, I wasn't the British Secret Service.

64
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
She's, no, he wasn't that good.

65
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
But yeah, he was unlike the British embassy.

66
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Okay.

67
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Or something like that.

68
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Yeah.

69
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Well, he's a friend of a friend.

70
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
But yeah, he was a wild dude.

71
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
So anyways, welcome to the podcast, Patrick.

72
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Hey, how long are you man?

73
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Great way to get it started. Oh my gosh.

74
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
I'm great.

75
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
You know, happy to be here.

76
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Let me say no, what we're in for today.

77
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
You don't know.

78
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I don't know.

79
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Yeah, you're, you seem like a cool dude.

80
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
You said you want to come on.

81
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
I can keep telling people on here.

82
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I'm going to have guests on the podcast.

83
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
And one of the first comics I met when I got back in the doing comedy was Patrick.

84
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
And he said, hey, man, I'm free on Saturday.

85
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
And what's what's today?

86
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000
The 10th February 10th.

87
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
And he said, I'm free on Saturday.

88
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
I'm going to come over.

89
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
I said, cool.

90
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Come hang out.

91
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
My little, my little stufus.

92
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000
And we're going to hang out.

93
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
But Patrick, tell everybody where you're from.

94
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Originally from Smithfield, Virginia, a small town.

95
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Then I moved to Prince George, Virginia, on smaller town.

96
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
And now live in Hopewell, on an apartment.

97
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
In an apartment.

98
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Well, you are a single lad.

99
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Most a lot of single people live in apartments.

100
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Yeah.

101
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,000
A lot of families live in apartments.

102
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
It's not going to be wrong.

103
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
But you want the first comics I said that I met when I first got in back in

104
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
and doing comedy.

105
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
And one of the things I like about you is you definitely have,

106
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,000
you had something about you that I, I, I, I, a lot of the comics I see.

107
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000
I mean, I always sit here on the podcast and I talk about how stand up as a live

108
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
and well in the Richmond area.

109
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
And it is.

110
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
And you're one of the guys that, and one of the comics that I look at when I,

111
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
when I watch anywhere I'm going.

112
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
And I'm like, okay, this kid, you, like you, you got a little something to you, man.

113
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
You really do. What was funny to you growing up?

114
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Well, appreciate that.

115
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,000
I was watching Comic View as a kid.

116
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000
As far back as I can remember, just comic view on BT.

117
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,000
I don't even know if I understood what they were talking about, but I love seeing people

118
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
talking, make people laugh.

119
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
And, well, that's what I grew up on.

120
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
And then as I got into teenage years, Shepel show, of course.

121
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000
What else did I watch?

122
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:34,000
I mostly comic view, Shepel show, always, always been a goofball.

123
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
And a surprise that didn't start sooner, really.

124
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Yeah, what was, let me answer this.

125
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
What was growing up for you?

126
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Did you find the comedy was a part of, in a skateboard was it something that, you know,

127
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
is it that added benefit on the life? Like, you know what I mean?

128
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Man, I've always been the guy that is making the rude, not rude, but inappropriate remarks.

129
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000
It always felt good like being the person that's like saying something that shouldn't be said

130
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
in this place, the dinner table, church groups and stuff.

131
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Like, always making people laugh.

132
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
And then, I do remember one part of my life, I was very depressed.

133
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,000
And I would just listen to stand up on Pandora for like, switches a comic every five minutes.

134
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Yeah, just like, yeah, so when I'm sad, just listen to other people.

135
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
And sometimes you hear people talk about their problems and make it funny.

136
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
And it's like, I mean, you can just laugh if nothing else.

137
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Yeah, this is true.

138
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000
So kind of an escape, too.

139
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Yeah.

140
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Yeah, I did too. Like, who was your, who was the first comic?

141
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Like, I know I saw the interview with you in RVM magazine.

142
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
And you were talking about Cat Williams.

143
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Right.

144
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Is that correct? That the interviewer they did?

145
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Yep. Cat Williams.

146
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
I forgot how they brought it up.

147
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,000
But yeah, Cat Williams was one of my favorites.

148
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Really when I first started, like, on as jet, when I first started watching comedy,

149
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
comedy, if you remember, on as jet, I was Bruce, just the host, like,

150
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
would always draw me in and then, well, those were the people I saw every show.

151
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Sure.

152
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,000
So every show would see Bruce Bruce or Arnes J.

153
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000
And so that's who I got familiar with fast.

154
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
And then it's pretty cool Tony Woods.

155
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000
I remember him as a kid and that's one of the first comics I actually met.

156
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000
But a big fan of like Chris Rock, of course,

157
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,000
a Porsche pel, yeah, man. What a love it all, man. Love all different types of comedy.

158
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Right.

159
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Which by the way, any question that I ask you, I always tell people that I interview on the podcast.

160
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
There's not a question that I ask you that you can't turn on and reverse back on me.

161
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Yeah.

162
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
And I've had, I've had people do it in the patty.

163
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Well, what would you say?

164
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Right.

165
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Who was yours?

166
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Biggest influence or, okay, I didn't think you were going to start writing.

167
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:01,000
You know, for me, it's a funny sort of story.

168
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
You know, when I got into stand-up,

169
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,000
it was like a rainy afternoon.

170
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,000
My mom had these old Bill Cosby records.

171
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,000
And she sat me down one day in my room with a record player.

172
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000
And I think it was Bill Cosby's wise their air.

173
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000
And I listened to it and I just fell in love with,

174
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
I mean, the jokes were funny, obviously.

175
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000
But the laughter and stuff like that.

176
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
That was the first comic guy I was listening to.

177
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000
But as I got older, it was like Robin Williams and how he meant Dale and

178
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Carl in and prior.

179
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Guys like that.

180
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
And my nice, I saw him bed.

181
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Listen to my walk in it night.

182
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,000
And what wouldn't music, it would be like Robin Williams live at the met.

183
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Like stuff like that.

184
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
But yeah, Cosby.

185
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
And I tell people that and they look at me weird.

186
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
And I'm like, it was before all the bad shit.

187
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
I mean, the bad shit was happening.

188
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Right.

189
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
We just didn't know it was good time.

190
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
So yeah, so that was that was where that was mine.

191
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
So, but I mean, everybody's got to have one.

192
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000
And you know, it wasn't even really, wasn't really my deal.

193
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Right.

194
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Part of your life.

195
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
Well, it's not even that's like, but I get, I guess,

196
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Cosby was a part of your life.

197
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000
But everybody was part of it.

198
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000
When I was a fucking, when I was a kid, dude, I fucking loved Cosby.

199
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Like he was like a second dad to me.

200
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
And you know, I'm very close to my dad.

201
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
He's my dad's a great guy.

202
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Nothing, nothing against him.

203
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000
But you know, I literally, like I'd watch Cosby show every Thursday.

204
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Like, you know what I mean? And I love Cos.

205
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Like he was, you know, I, one of my dreams.

206
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
I want to meet Cos.

207
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
And then so like when all that stuff came out, dude,

208
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Holy shit.

209
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
But then I've experienced that with like musicians and sucks.

210
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Who, who?

211
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Based nectar.

212
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Based nectar.

213
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
I love, love, base nectar.

214
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
You probably might not have heard of him.

215
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
No, but then go ahead.

216
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Yeah, just a base, base music.

217
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Legendary shows community.

218
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
And yeah, he went through some stuff like that.

219
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
And it sucks.

220
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
It's like your favorite thing ever.

221
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
And then it's like, ah, but you know,

222
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,000
it does, like, you know, I, I won't even say the guy's name.

223
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
But there was one time I got to work the DC improv.

224
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
When I went out of there, I worked the DC improv.

225
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,000
What the guy was a headliner.

226
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
He was definitely up there.

227
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
As far as my respect level went, the guy I worked a week with him.

228
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,000
He was an asshole to the feature.

229
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000
The middle act for doing any crowdwork whatsoever.

230
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,000
And basically the guy was his deal with the heckler.

231
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,000
And the, anyways, and then after the show he's been a total creep.

232
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000
And it was like, ah, like it just ruined it.

233
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
It just ruined it.

234
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
So I mean, I've definitely seen that.

235
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
And it was just, it's one of those things where you,

236
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,000
you know, you don't want to say, you don't want to say there in question.

237
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Is anything real anymore, but at the same time.

238
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000
I don't know.

239
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
And almost puts like a little reality check on your soul of who can I look up to?

240
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Right.

241
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
That's not going to be a complete, a complete douchebag.

242
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000
I was right.

243
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000
But you're right.

244
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
So you've been doing comedy for less than two years, right?

245
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
It's a right.

246
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Right.

247
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Be made first.

248
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
It'll be two years.

249
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Yeah.

250
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Do you like it so far?

251
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000
I love it.

252
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
I'm happier than I've ever been in my life.

253
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Yeah.

254
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Like you feel good about what you're doing.

255
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Right.

256
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Yeah.

257
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
I feel like it's when I was meant to do.

258
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,000
And sometimes I think I got into late, but I think I'm finally to the level of maturity

259
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,000
that I can do this and give it my all, you know, and I always wasn't.

260
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
And I'm still not extremely mature, but very much sure is in like,

261
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:40,000
no, what not to say, how not to treat people, you know, and can really put my thoughts together

262
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
and have fun, man.

263
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
I spent a long time rapping.

264
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Yeah.

265
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000
I did, you know, I saw that.

266
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Not just, I guess it was in the, not just to your bio on social, but it was something else

267
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000
I saw.

268
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Maybe I saw you doing a joke about it.

269
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Yeah, or something?

270
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Yeah.

271
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
We got a joke about it.

272
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Yeah.

273
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
What was your rapping like?

274
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
You got it.

275
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Oh, really, man.

276
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
I'm probably the best rapper I've ever met.

277
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Yeah, man.

278
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
I've got it.

279
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
I'm talented, man.

280
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Like just like the New York style.

281
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Yeah, boom, back.

282
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Yeah.

283
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Well, rap, you don't have to be a song, but like comedy, I feel like I should be humble, like, you know,

284
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
like, but rap, not being humble is part of it.

285
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000
And, but yeah, man, like New York style, boom, back.

286
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,000
No, all right.

287
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Hold on, way, way, way, way.

288
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
New York style, boom, back.

289
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Yeah.

290
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,000
I mean, that sounds like a doctor.

291
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Have you ever heard it?

292
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,000
I'd be avert listen to rap.

293
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Yeah.

294
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Listen.

295
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
I'm not what I would.

296
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
I was listening to rap long before.

297
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I mean, all right, let me say this.

298
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
How would you compare it?

299
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Well, 60, at least, 60 to my mom, 62.

300
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Okay.

301
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Okay.

302
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
So I'm 50, right?

303
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000
So, I mean, I was listening to like the first rap.

304
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,000
The first rap.

305
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
The very first one.

306
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
It's came out.

307
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
No, I had it.

308
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
It was like, right.

309
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Y'all listen up.

310
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Yeah, it's Ekeel.

311
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
I feel like, I don't know why I feel like that's a, that's a good rap.

312
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
That's a first rapper.

313
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
It's a great, an awesome, a musiqueel, you know.

314
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Yeah.

315
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,000
No, I was listening to rap.

316
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Okay.

317
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
So, I didn't know what the, uh, Nause type, uh,

318
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Nause type, uh, fabulous, jane kiss.

319
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Here are my biggest, and some of my biggest influences.

320
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Um, but I was like using, uh, leader, adderall or, you know, whatever.

321
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
And I, I'll use it as a crutch.

322
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
And like, I got to a point.

323
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
I had some health issues.

324
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
And I was like, man, what do I, what do I want to do?

325
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
What makes me happy sober?

326
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
How can I be creative sober?

327
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
And I used to make like, little stupid Facebook videos,

328
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,000
or just like my first set ever doing comedy was just some jokes

329
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
that I had written on Facebook.

330
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Like one of the first things I wrote on Facebook is still one of my best jokes.

331
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000
It's, uh, you ever got a blow job from a girl with a buzz cut.

332
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
You don't know whether it's a bust and nut or give her a nilgi.

333
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000
And that was my, that was a Facebook joke.

334
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,000
He got like maybe 60 likes or laughs at the time.

335
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Yeah.

336
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
And, uh, was part of my first set and it still does great.

337
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
And, uh, I was like, I always wanted to be funny.

338
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,000
And, uh, and this, and this is something that I actually do sober as far as, like,

339
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,000
writing or, um, performing to, I mean, I have a couple beers,

340
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
but, um, it's like I'm having fun sober.

341
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
And at one point in life, I never thought that could happen.

342
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Like I always needed weed, um, at a raw, like, take out a raw.

343
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000
It's my best day ever.

344
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000
I wanted to do everything.

345
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Right.

346
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000
And, um, and I would like look back at pictures and videos of me on Adderall.

347
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
It's like my eyes are bugged out.

348
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
I was telling dates that I'd be wrapping and I'm like,

349
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
given the wrong dates. And I'm like, okay,

350
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
you think you're doing great on Adderall,

351
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000
but you're really kind of, you're not thinking clear really.

352
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Right.

353
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Like you've got a lot of energy and doing stuff.

354
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
So I was like, what can I do sober that I enjoy?

355
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,000
And now I'm just like, still got the same energy that I had when I,

356
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,000
like, took Adderall, like, like, I'm making this clip or I'm writing a joke,

357
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
or I'm making a flyer.

358
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000
It's like, I am excited about it and staying up late.

359
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Doing it.

360
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000
And I'm not on drugs.

361
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
So that's what I love most about comedy.

362
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
It's just like pure happiness that's, uh,

363
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
it can make you sad too, but, you know,

364
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000
but as far as just doing it,

365
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,000
I'm happy.

366
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Happy.

367
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000
That's awesome, man.

368
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
It's good because you, you've experienced the true lows in the highs.

369
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Right.

370
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
You know, and some people say what comedy, like, you know,

371
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
a lot of, a lot of people say what comedy.

372
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Like you don't know pain until you've done, until you've done stand up.

373
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Yeah.

374
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Yeah.

375
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000
It can be, can be pretty painful sometimes.

376
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Which, which makes me think, okay.

377
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:01,000
So where, now I've seen your act and I encourage anybody who might have a chance to go see Patrick to go see it.

378
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Where do you usually draw your material from?

379
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
So just like, when stuff comes to me,

380
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
so like before I was actually doing stand up,

381
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
I'd get in little modes.

382
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,000
I spent a lot of time at home, like just doing dishes, laundry,

383
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
cleaning up, keeping tidy and like when I get in my zone,

384
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,000
just doing whatever sometimes to also come to me or conversation with a friend.

385
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000
But I used to before I did stand up when a real funny thought came to me.

386
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
I would like go to Facebook and like let me,

387
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000
type Patrick Logan on Facebook, follow me.

388
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000
I might say something funny.

389
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000
I'd go to Facebook and I'd just like write my original thought

390
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
and then I'd look at it for 10, 15 minutes to get it as best as it could be.

391
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
It's just random thoughts like I really don't make time to sit down and write.

392
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
But a lot of things dating, talking to friends,

393
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000
sometimes when I'm just not having a good time,

394
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
it's like I have to force myself to feel better.

395
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
You know, and when I do that,

396
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,000
something like when you go through shit and it sucks and you're not having fun,

397
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
you're depressed or whatever.

398
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Eventually I have to bring myself out of that.

399
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Like I can have anxiety, paranoia.

400
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Eventually I get tired of being sad and I'm like let me bring myself out of this.

401
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000
And then sometimes like a funny thought will come.

402
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Sometimes one of my most recent jokes,

403
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,000
it just I was going to sleep and I saw something about the birds in the bees.

404
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,000
And I got a thought, oh, I don't want to get my joke away,

405
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
but like it's not just birds and bees anymore.

406
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000
You know?

407
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,000
So it's like, and then the next day I forgot it and somebody sent me something about birds.

408
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
And bees, I was like, oh, there's that joke when we write it down.

409
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Because I knew I went to sleep with like a good joke on my mind.

410
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
You got that one back because I don't know how many times I'm laying there.

411
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
And you're like, oh, I thought you think it's something funny and then you don't write it down.

412
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
The next day, what the hell was it?

413
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,000
You have to write it down.

414
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000
I was so happy when Brian Brian Williams sent me a meme about birds and bees.

415
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
I was like, there it is.

416
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Because like earlier that day I was like, what?

417
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
I knew it was so funny when I was thinking last night.

418
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
And then I couldn't think of it and then he sent me something.

419
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
I was like, there it is.

420
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
So I was like, man, like, just came in in the clutch.

421
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
It's like just random.

422
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Oh, oh, be he'll keep up with the inadvertent assist there.

423
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Yeah, thanks be will.

424
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Yeah, yeah, good guy, man.

425
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
So so you're feeling, so what are you most proud of that you've done so far in coming?

426
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Like, what if you've done so far that obviously it's not the end of the journey,

427
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,000
but it's maybe it's a it's a it's a peak that you've reached with still more pigs to come.

428
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Right.

429
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Yeah, man. So when I first started, I was just so I couldn't believe I was doing it.

430
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Because it been something that I wanted to do for so long.

431
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
I had on a list like future things like get my tattoos covered up.

432
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
You know, my shitty tattoos like on the long term list, you know,

433
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000
start a podcast, do stand up comedy.

434
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,000
And one day I just moved into my own apartment and I was like, let me go to open.

435
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,000
Like, so when I first started, I couldn't believe and I started having good sets.

436
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:11,000
I couldn't believe I was doing it. I was just like, man, this is like, I'm actually doing something that I've admired for 30 years

437
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,000
that I've just loved forever.

438
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:19,000
And so that was and then started getting good and then go try to do competitions.

439
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Came in second on a competition one time and then you're like, okay, well, oh, I'm good.

440
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
You think you're the best, but no, I got to get better.

441
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,000
You know, I got to get better and then you accomplish something,

442
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,000
but the thing is you always have to keep, you need new stuff, you need better stuff,

443
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,000
you need a tighter, you need clean stuff, you need like, there's always a challenge up next.

444
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:46,000
And, but the thing I'm most proud of so far is the roast battle and a Virginia Beach Funnybone

445
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,000
because I just didn't think I would even make it past the first round.

446
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000
And I never, people have like talked about roast and I'm like, I'll never do a roast.

447
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Like, I'm usually getting roasted.

448
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
And that was like multiple rounds going against multiple people.

449
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,000
People that I look up to and to win that was, it was a big rush and an awesome feeling.

450
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:15,000
So here's one of the things that I noticed about you when I saw on Facebook when you had won the the roast

451
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
battle at Downer Virginia Beach.

452
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
It did not surprise me.

453
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Thank you, man.

454
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Because here's what I tell you.

455
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
One of the things that I think about it is because I can tell you grew up in a neighborhood

456
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,000
or in a situation where you had to maybe defend yourself a little bit from time to time.

457
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Absolutely.

458
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,000
And I could, I can see it in your act and then so when you went down there and then you had to,

459
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,000
I saw the picture you were about.

460
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,000
I was like, fuck yeah.

461
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Man.

462
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Pell you.

463
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
I'm telling you, I mean, bullion can be good in some cases.

464
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
And I like to pay them.

465
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
I was that guy always getting roasted.

466
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Like I grew up around some funny people man and I was never, I was never the good.

467
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,000
I was the guy making everybody else funny because of how bad they're roasting me.

468
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,000
And I also had some asshole friends that I had to learn eventually to just not let it get to me.

469
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Every time you catch yourself being mad, realize, oh, this is an opportunity to not be mad.

470
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,000
And what thoughts going to go through your head when you're not mad?

471
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Because when you react on emotion, they're getting you.

472
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,000
So if you just stop the emotion part first, like as soon as you start feeling, even it can be with anything.

473
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Are you with people, are you with women?

474
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
You don't argue you feel that feeling.

475
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
You're like, oh, I noticed myself getting mad or upset.

476
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Let me stop that and then other thoughts will come.

477
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
And then that's when you get them with a comeback or that's when you, you know,

478
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,000
So I had to learn to like not be in my feelings.

479
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:51,000
And some of those guys, man, like one of my friends who was the roast king Russell Lawyer.

480
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
I believe that's how I spell my dear friends name or say my dear friends name.

481
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:03,000
He was the roast king and he was like, he's like, damn, he's like, he's like, you're funny now because we used the roast Joe ass out of time.

482
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Redoam's name is like, yeah, it's a, it's a, it really did.

483
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,000
I guess it has had a good effect on me.

484
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,000
I grew up, you grew up in a multicultural sort of a setting.

485
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Yeah, man, I was the only white kid on my bus route.

486
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,000
I made one, one of a couple, one of a few white kids on my bus route.

487
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:29,000
And then when I did, I lived there for 13 to 14 years.

488
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:36,000
So when I moved, I just gravitated to black friends or not the average white kids.

489
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000
That's, that's who I grew up around the two.

490
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Yeah, it's just always be a part of me.

491
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Yeah, right.

492
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,000
I mean, I think anybody who grows up in a society,

493
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000
where you have more than just your own kind of people,

494
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,000
I think any, any child that starts off in that situation is already ahead in the game, in my opinion.

495
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Yeah, because you're getting, you're not just stuck in one view point or one perspective.

496
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,000
You like, you see what, what life is for other people, you know,

497
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,000
you see where they're backgrounds or what they're, especially like,

498
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,000
dowally celebration, I've been to one of those.

499
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
I think that was awesome.

500
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Yeah, I'm not not too actually familiar with what's that,

501
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
honestly.

502
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Right.

503
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
The dowally, it's like, I don't know if it's the New Year's kind of,

504
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000
but I don't want to talk to you about it, but I don't want to say what it is and it's not even closed to you.

505
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
But yeah, yeah, but I was there.

506
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
It was, it was a good time.

507
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,000
So, all right, so you're, you're proud of that, you got the, the good base going on.

508
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,000
What, what do you not, I'm trying to say, I could word this.

509
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000
I was thinking about this last night, I was like, I'm going to ask him some questions,

510
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:51,000
but is there, I guess I just say like this, is there anything about your comedy and your act and how you're doing it so far that you don't like?

511
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:59,000
I don't like how most of the content I put out is like dirty or naughty.

512
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,000
So people automatically assume, oh, you're just a dirty comic,

513
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,000
talking about sex and this and that.

514
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:13,000
Because there is more to my act, but I, I, I do, I'm like working on some clean stuff.

515
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:20,000
I can, I want to be funny in any situation, but most of my early comedy was all dirty stuff.

516
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
But I've always had a perverted sense of humor.

517
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,000
So I'll, I'll always be that, but to challenge myself like,

518
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
I don't know, it could be good to be looked at like a lot of people like dirty, naughty humor.

519
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
And, but I don't want to be just that, you know.

520
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Let's go, but look at it.

521
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
I remember, what was his name?

522
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000
He had been on the tonight show and he, but he was from the DC area, Roger Merrick,

523
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,000
and he was always telling me, and this, I like, I built King, they would say,

524
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
you got to, you got to be able to work clean.

525
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Yeah.

526
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Because they don't open up so many different rooms.

527
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,000
That's a good goal though.

528
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,000
That's a good.

529
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,000
I, you know, I've been trying to, I've been trying to do stuff that is more sort of more like the,

530
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
and you window, then, then the straight up.

531
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Right.

532
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,000
In a word.

533
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Yeah.

534
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,000
So like, you know, that's kind of, so I'm working on, I'm working on trying to get like 10 minutes of clean material.

535
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
I mean, when I say clean, I mean, like, not saying the F.

536
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Not, not cousin are not saying the word dick or pussy, but still having like a sexual joke.

537
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:22,000
I consider, I would say that's clean enough to like send to someone who wants clean material.

538
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:27,000
So I mean, I've had to had somebody say, hey man, send me a 10 minute set clean.

539
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,000
And we'll get you some work, you know, so I'm like, open to do that.

540
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000
I'm hoping that maybe do that at any roofs.

541
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Uh, February 24th.

542
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Uh, wine bar and grill, well, not say I didn't fuck it up.

543
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Any roofs, wine bar and bistro hopefully it's a'll be out before then.

544
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,000
It's real.

545
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Yeah.

546
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Doing two shows there.

547
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Um, but like when I get booked, I want to show like that. I want to give it my best.

548
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:58,000
And sometimes, but I also want to get 10 clean in front of a good crowd.

549
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,000
You know, so it's like, if this is a good crowd, you want to do my best stuff.

550
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,000
But also, I mean, the clean stuff I have is pretty good.

551
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,000
So I'm going to try to get, I had planned to do it like last weekend or two ago at a festival.

552
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,000
But then it's a room of like 400 people and they're all loud.

553
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,000
And I'm like, oh, yeah, I've definitely got to use my, my good jokes.

554
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Got your best big voice.

555
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

556
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
But yeah, I want to do that soon.

557
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,000
I get you.

558
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
I did see their show at any roofs.

559
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000
I'd nick these put on a heck of a show the first one I saw.

560
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Uh, you could definitely probably get away with doing some, some blue materials I call it.

561
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,000
All right. So I forget blue is blue is blue is not clean blue is not clean.

562
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Okay.

563
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:50,000
So it's a blue is blue was more of a nice term that they used to give comics where, you know, dirty dirty comic.

564
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
I mean, they might, you know, I just so fun, man.

565
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,000
It is fun.

566
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
But it is, it is absolutely fun.

567
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,000
And I've been on both sides of it, but there is that equation of, you know,

568
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:07,000
it can you do 10 minutes of because, you know, if you go see sign-feld or, you know,

569
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:13,000
even like that, I mean, they, they don't do that. I mean, I guess sign-feld over the years has gotten a little more.

570
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Little more, I don't risk a, and some of the stuff he says, but he never drops a nap bomb.

571
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
He never, you know, on stage.

572
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Now, if you watch like the movie comedian, have you ever seen movie?

573
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
I haven't.

574
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,000
I should have what you should.

575
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000
You should hold or new or it came back in 2001 comedian.

576
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Sign-feld.

577
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Yeah, I actually have a DVD of it over there.

578
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
I just found, I saw the other day after the show was over.

579
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
And it's about him getting back into stand-up.

580
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,000
And the sort of journey he has to take, which of course is much easier than anybody who's just starting out,

581
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,000
because he's already sign-feld.

582
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,000
So he walks into, you know, Caroline's in New York and says, or standing in New York or the seller and says,

583
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Hey, I want to do a said, they put him on any show he wants to go on, as opposed to,

584
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,000
you were me go and they're like, yeah, go get in the fucking line.

585
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Because that's where you are.

586
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,000
So, it follows that.

587
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,000
And also, for follows, uh, Orny Adams, who, uh, it was young at the time and coming up.

588
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,000
And he looks like, he looks like an asshole in the movie.

589
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
And he, it's that, but he's a really nice guy, a man of a person.

590
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
He's really cool doing very funny.

591
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,000
I would recommend any young comic watch that movie because it's just,

592
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000
and actually, uh, Orny in that, in the movie in Colin comedian, he says,

593
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
I never really felt paying till I did comedy.

594
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
And I've always, I've always felt that.

595
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,000
And like you were talking about trying to make yourself happy and kind of getting back to it,

596
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
uh, is, you know, there's times.

597
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
I mean, even last Friday when I went to the barrel roll comedy show,

598
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,000
I went and part of the one that raises why did it was for me comedy is,

599
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
I don't think about other things.

600
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Do you find that it does that for you or do you, do you find it's more like an escape?

601
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,000
I know you were kind of talking about that earlier, but do you really find, like, you take solace into and jokes?

602
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,000
The past two years have been pretty blessed as far as, like,

603
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,000
life has been good, you know, so it's like, uh,

604
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,000
it's easy to have fun when life is good, you know?

605
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Um, I guess when I first started, I was like getting over some, like, depression or getting over, like, a rough patch.

606
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Since I started, it's been really good.

607
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
I've been, I've been really lucky right now.

608
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
The past two years have been great for me.

609
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Just overall, um, everything work, personal life, you know, pretty, pretty good.

610
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,000
But then, like, you know, last week I was a little stressed because, like, you know,

611
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,000
I got some car issues, but it's okay. Everything's fine.

612
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
You know, it's like, uh, but this, like, you still got to go out,

613
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
just still got to go out and do it.

614
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,000
I guess, I mean, I always kind of have turned my pain in the humor anyway.

615
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,000
So I, like, once I, if I go through something or I'm feeling weird about something,

616
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,000
um, once I make a joke about it, it's like, oh, okay.

617
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,000
You know, and I think, well, also, I, Apple Brown Betty told me that too.

618
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,000
She was like, I, or maybe she posted on Facebook,

619
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,000
but I can really relate to it, like once I'm feeling, not feeling good about something

620
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,000
and then I can make it into a joke. It's like, oh, there it goes.

621
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
It's done now. It's done not bother me anymore.

622
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,000
Right. You know, yeah, she's strong, man.

623
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Julia, isn't she?

624
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I could say you're saying that's all that.

625
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Yeah, that's a good way to think about it.

626
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
I mean, I think that's, yeah, that's the way one of those things you have to address

627
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
as a comic because you will do it.

628
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:20,000
If you do it long enough, you will have some, you know, a terrible break up

629
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,000
or something and you are going to be so fucking down about it.

630
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Yeah.

631
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,000
And then you're going to get a call.

632
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
You're going to call me or something.

633
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Yeah.

634
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:35,000
I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, but, you know, what?

635
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,000
You go up there and you do it and yeah, if you can make a joke about it,

636
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,000
I think there was one time I made a joke about this break up I was having.

637
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
This woman came up to me at me.

638
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,000
She wasn't hitting on me or anything like that.

639
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
It wasn't like that, but she came up to me.

640
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,000
She said, come, sorry about your breakup.

641
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,000
And I go, okay, I kind of kind of caught me off guard and I said, okay, thanks.

642
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,000
And she goes, I just wanted you know, I could really feel your pain in that joke.

643
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
And I swear to God, I almost cried.

644
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Yeah, I was always like, all right, thank you.

645
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

646
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
But at the same time, I don't know.

647
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Part of it was kind of like, shut the fuck up, lady.

648
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
You know what I was joking about it.

649
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,000
I don't want to talk about it.

650
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
It's a comedy club, man.

651
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000
It's a comedy club.

652
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Everyone was moving.

653
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:29,840
So

654
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,360
see yourself. I do use the terrible. What do you see yourself in 10 years, Patrick?

655
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:39,040
Yeah, man. I love that question. I mean, I want to do this forever, man. Like, I don't,

656
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:46,240
I don't see myself ever not wanting to do this. I've always tried to be the funny guy,

657
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:56,880
always been the guy in class or always just always been funny, you know? And now that I'm doing it,

658
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:03,680
I don't really, I don't know if I ever want something more than comedy. That'll be amazing because

659
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:09,520
I just want to do it forever. Like, rap. I still love rap and I'm very good at it. But I'm just

660
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:15,360
not like I want to wake up and rap today. It's like comedy. It's like, I want to be there the next

661
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:20,320
time I can. If I'm not there, I'm either exhausted or have something to do, you know? And we're like,

662
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:30,160
so I'd like to go as far as I can go with it. And I do think like not to be in a humble way. I think

663
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:38,800
I do have the ability. I feel like I can connect with a lot of different people. Black crowds,

664
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:46,000
white crowds, gay crowds, straight crowds. Like, I think that will take me far. Absolutely. It will.

665
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,880
Yeah, I mean, and I've noticed that you're doing, there's something. So, you know, you're doing

666
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:56,000
some of the shows that are more technically what they call an urban audience or a deaf jam audience.

667
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,360
And you're actually done very well. You got, you're in the finals. What is it, the show time at the

668
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,720
park? Show time at the park. Yeah, a Apollo style show. Yeah. That's awesome, dude. Yeah.

669
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:12,480
Yeah, I mean, that's, but I mean, are you going to hear me ask you this? Because you know

670
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,480
eventually. And now I'd say this, I don't even know why I'm going down this road. But I guess I am,

671
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,960
you know, eventually you're going to have to go someplace like a New York or a Los Angeles. So you

672
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:29,200
have that long term? Like, are you saying or do I plan on that? Yeah, because you would, well,

673
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:34,400
you would also talk about Austin. And you made a trip to Austin. Yeah, yeah, man. I'd love to go to

674
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:42,800
New York, man. I did go to Austin. That's really the only outside comedy scene that I've been to. I don't

675
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:47,600
know what my thoughts are on moving yet. Like right now, I kind of, I'm just saying it's not as easy

676
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:52,320
to make it. But yeah, I'd like to go visit. I'd love to, like, I've never been to New York. I know

677
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:58,240
that's a hot spot. One of the hottest, if not, you know, Austin, LA, New York. You know, that's,

678
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:04,160
I'd love to go there. I haven't really, I do have a full-time job. And I do have like

679
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,400
vacation and stuff, but I haven't really thought about where I'm going next or when. But I would

680
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:13,760
like to, I'd like to spend a week there, you know, and just just hanging out. Yeah. It is hard to get

681
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,480
on if you're not from there. But you can, you know, I tell you go to the tick-o-c. It comics will ask me,

682
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:24,160
oh, you know, don't you have to go to New York or LA, and I say pretty much, yeah. Yeah. I mean,

683
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:29,840
it's not like it used to be quite, but, you know, and I'm not going to say your name drop, but I am,

684
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:36,400
you know, I had, I had Mike Berbiglia who I've known since he started. I'm not saying I know them

685
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,600
now really, but I used to know back in the day and whatever I've seen around, but him and then

686
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:49,120
Leno, both told me themselves, if you want to, you want to do something comedy, you have to go to

687
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:54,080
New York LA because you have to get up every single night and do it, you know, it's one of,

688
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,600
like you're going to, I mean, you can always work the road. You know, I was worth the road. That's, that's

689
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:04,800
what I did. And so, you know, if you're going to get to that point though. Yeah, man. So, like, so far,

690
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:10,560
things have kind of like come to me, like, you know, can you host people see I'm doing comedy,

691
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:16,400
can you host a show or competitions or anything and everything I can get, and then people ask

692
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,160
me to do stuff and I go out of town and meet somebody else and they're like, so right now,

693
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:25,600
I'm taking anything and everything. There are a few people that I want to like send something to,

694
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:33,520
like, like, I've seen Abaround Betty do the feature at the Apollo and I guess I know a few people

695
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,880
that know Bob Sumner. So I'm like, you should go with this, you should come and see a show,

696
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:44,400
he'll maybe put you on or something to own a show just to see what you got, you know. And that's

697
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:49,280
like something that came to me that I really didn't go looking for that I plan on doing. You know,

698
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:54,080
like, let's go to, I don't even want to stay with States and that it's a different play, a

699
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:58,720
willing bro. I don't know exactly where that is, but that's a show people say I should go to.

700
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:02,720
So like little stuff like that that comes to me instead of just like, I'm going to pick up and

701
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:07,520
move and go do this. Like Austin was great, but like I don't necessarily want to, I could see

702
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:14,880
myself living there, but it's nice to be close to family right now. I'm really like what Nick

703
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:21,920
Deez is doing. He's like, he's getting a lot of work. He like quit his job. You know, last time

704
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:27,120
I remember he quit his job and he's still living right in whatever. Jeannie Beach or somewhere in that

705
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:34,160
area, which is very inspiring. Maybe not everybody can do that, but it is cool to see someone

706
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:40,080
around here making a living on comedy with the, and he's like, could be going other places and stuff.

707
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:46,880
So moving maybe one day I guess it would be cool. I would like to, but it's also cool to

708
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,680
think like what can I get? I'll just do everything I can around here and see where it goes. See

709
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,840
what opportunity comes. Nothing wrong with that. Yeah, I mean I'm not saying you got to make it

710
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,680
this season. Like I would never go like for you, I wouldn't say like, yeah, I'm moving to New York right now.

711
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,640
Right. Right. Right. That would be, you know, it's a little premature, but you know, it's one of

712
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,960
those things. It's one of the things that I think about and I thought it was, yeah, absolutely.

713
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,600
It's like herbola there. When I was in Austin, like everybody's like, if you want this, you have to

714
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:21,280
move here. You know, if you really want this, this is where it's at. And I mean, yeah, I could see it.

715
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,520
And then also I'm down there. I'm thinking, man, there's no black, there's not like black rooms

716
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:31,280
down here. Like I don't, like, that's mostly why people like, but then Houston. So it's like,

717
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:35,040
I guess there, you could do whatever the same thing you do here. You could do there. Find where your

718
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:43,440
stuff is. But the thawna moving somewhere, I would, it's a terrifying. I would, well, I would

719
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:50,400
like to, well, when you're in a small place, it's easy to kind of, you know, be the big fish and

720
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:56,480
little pond, not saying I'm that yet, but it's easy to, it's easy to do that. And eventually,

721
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:01,280
you do have to go to a bigger pond, you know, and it's, well, yeah, because, and that's the thing,

722
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,160
all right. So I'll tell you this story. And I guess I'm using the podcast to tell you,

723
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:10,400
to be a, you know, a, give you advice or anything. But like, Leno said, he was like, what are you

724
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,200
going to do? You're going to be the biggest fish and DC? And so I tell people, eventually you're

725
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,040
going to have to, or you need to get more throw, which, which you will be doing. But then at the same

726
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:26,800
time, like, you know, Nick D's just had Lyon, the funny bone enrichment. He had Lyon, the Sandman

727
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:32,320
comedy club, when it was here. He had Lyon, Cosys, and he's like, man, my next is like, Virginia Beach.

728
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:37,920
You know, if I'm not doing that here, then why should I even think about moving? You know, if I can't,

729
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:44,240
if I can't conquer this, like, really, you know, I mean, it, I want my plan is I want to get,

730
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:50,160
so the longest set I've done is 20 minutes. I know I've got like 30 worth of material. I haven't

731
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:56,400
put it together yet, like, in order and stuff. But I want to get like a tight 30, at least before

732
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:02,960
I think about anywhere. We're maybe even an hour. Yeah, probably tight hour, and they say,

733
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,760
you know, you should have a little heat to you. All right. Well, you just told me to shut the

734
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:11,680
fuck up then. I can, I cannot be real quick. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm so hot. Yeah. Well, I said,

735
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,520
why, yeah. He said, all right. So Patrick's going to go take a whiz. We're going to take a break,

736
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,680
stick around. More Johnny Podcasts with Patrick Logan right after this.

737
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,200
What I quit booze for good, one thing I learned was to always keep your palate entertained.

00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:41,680

741
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:47,280
like ice and frozen fruit with ease. Blanget 2 is whisper quiet. So you can make your

761
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:33,920
After your, your, our, our potty break. Yes. Took a potty break. Took a little,

762
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:41,760
little whiz. Yeah. So we were talking about comedy before comedy. And so one of the

763
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,520
guys that I was going to ask you, we'll just finish up that part of it. Do you have anybody?

764
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:52,160
So like back in the day, you know, I wanted to work with like what I was first start out to a comedy,

765
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:58,480
like a Pablo Francisco. I loved Pablo, loved the voices of everything else. And he was one of the

766
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:04,880
people that I wanted to work with the most. I go see him at the improv. I go see him, you know, wherever

767
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:11,200
when he was in town. I finally got to work with him at one point. Do you have somebody right now

768
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:17,120
that you, what, do you want to work with one day? Hmm. I know the sounds cliche, man.

769
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:24,080
I, I, I, I love the whole, the whole comedy mothership thing going on, where it's just like everybody

770
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:32,240
all in one spot, man. I, I'd love to be a part of that one day and just like, I guess it's a goal

771
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:38,480
and a, yeah, but if I could think of one person, man, I couldn't even tell you. I mean, there's no,

772
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:43,120
there's no wrong answer. Like it's just somebody that you would love to do like a, a week with,

773
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,600
like, like, like, I got something like Pablo or, you know, back at like Lewis Black. I got to work with

774
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:53,040
Lewis Black before Lewis is so awesome. Yeah. I got to work with him, you know, it's like that. Like,

775
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,640
is there's somebody that you think of right now? Like, you really watch, you're like,

776
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,880
fuck yes, I want to work with that dude when they're. Yeah. Well, I know, I might be too late for this.

777
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:05,120
Oh, Joey Diaz is one of my favorites, man. But he's not even like torn or anything right now.

778
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:11,520
I think he's trying to do a residency. I mean, I love what Shane Gillis is doing, Mark Norman.

779
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,560
I'm trying to think of like, but I mean, those are like big shots, you know,

780
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:24,480
somebody that's moving around. Joey Diaz, what about what about Joey Diaz? That's a character,

781
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,480
right there, man. That's a dude that, I mean, he's got some, I mean, what about him? He's a, well,

782
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:35,680
motherfucker. Yeah. Yeah. He is. Yeah. He's not that voice. He's a, well, okay. So this is real cool.

783
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:42,000
Before I ever did comedy, I would always listen to Rogan's podcast, Diaz, Joey Diaz is up there.

784
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:48,640
And like, just love listening about comedy when they used to talk about it, like an LA and like,

785
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:54,240
I thought it was something at that time that I would have to move out there to do. And so I always

786
00:45:54,240 --> 00:46:00,320
love listening to the stories, learn about it and never even knew what was going on right in Richmond.

787
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:06,400
You know, never even knew I could do open mics or showcases. But since I've been doing comedy,

788
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:11,600
I've learned so much from Joey Diaz. Man, his, I mean, I listen to the comedy Bible,

789
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:19,920
but Joey Diaz just stories in his tips, man. I mean, he's just a, he's just a wealth of knowledge,

790
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:26,080
man. And he's funny and cool and not like he's wrong, man. And that's what I appreciate and like,

791
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,640
yeah, I could see that. I mean, the guy has definitely been around like the guy has done

792
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,840
and seen some shit, you know, I mean, so any of that's going to translate through. I didn't,

793
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:43,040
it's interesting. I did see him not long ago. I saw a clip of him. I think he was at the improv

794
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:50,880
in LA. And I mean, it was just, it was good. Like it was just solid, but it was literally just one,

795
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:57,120
I don't know, seven minutes story. Yeah. And I'm sitting there watching it go and I can't tell a story

796
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:01,120
for seven minutes. I mean, I can, but I don't think I've ever been able to do it on a stage,

797
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,920
like type of thing. So yeah, he's, he's a, he's a, he's a interesting choice there.

798
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,120
Yeah, definitely would love to have a conversation with him. And that'd be cool. I mean,

799
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:17,280
who knows, it may, may never happen, but that'd be that'd be awesome, man. I heard do not,

800
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:23,920
do not eat his gummies. Oh, yeah. The ones that he eats, right, for sure. Yeah, apparently they are

801
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:29,040
waste. I mean, what's, Pauli Schoer was talking about it. Other other comics I've seen who've

802
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,920
talked about going on his, his podcast and been like, yeah, I couldn't find my door to get out of the

803
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:40,800
building. Right. Right. Absolutely not. Yeah. I mean, my stupid, the already, this stuff affects me,

804
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,360
way too much right now, but I'm still doing this. Joe, he is. What are you, you're there?

805
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:50,240
I feel so safe. I feel safe. Get a fucking Uber or something. Jesus, I feel safe is crap. I mean,

806
00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:56,240
when else are you going to be there? He's like your granddad or father. Yeah, like the dad I never

807
00:47:56,240 --> 00:48:02,160
had. Like I'm safe with Joe. I'll be scared, but I'll be there with Joe. Yeah. Yeah. I love you, Joe.

808
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:06,160
I love you, too. What are you doing? You fucking crying over there? What are you

809
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:13,040
vulgar crying about? He does go me. I'm doing about two months to have a wish list. Do I still have

810
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:19,520
a wish list? I like to work with like headburd back in the day. It was always one that I loved and my

811
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:25,280
body executive producer on the show, Tom, that's his voiceman when you call him and it's a thing

812
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,880
I'm going thing I do on here because his voiceman sounds like that. But he got to do a night with

813
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:36,640
headburd and DC one time and I was so fucking jealous. Yeah. And my body took him to kill it. Absolutely

814
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:41,920
killed it. That's awesome. And he got to hang out with headburd in the green room and yeah, dude. So I was

815
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:47,360
and I was jealous of that. And when he died, that was that took a big one off my list of people

816
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,680
I could like, yes, I want to. But I did, you know, headburd would he come out and talk to the

817
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:55,760
comics so it's not like I never interacted with him. But to do a show, something like that because

818
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,600
when you when you do comedy and you get to work with somebody that you really respect and then they

819
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,000
watch you and they give you feedback and they do all that stuff. Man, that's one of the best

820
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:09,200
guy to feel in the world. Much less somebody that you just love their their stand up and their comedy.

821
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:14,080
Yeah. It's one of those things where you're like 10 to a. Like I need to get like it's almost like a

822
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:19,360
driving factor. You know, I want to get to the level where I'm that guy's opener. I want to make

823
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,280
it one day. But you don't just want to do comedy, right? You don't want to do this. I do you have

824
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:28,000
of course, I know you're being the rapper, right? And I mean the laugh, I'm sorry. I'm not laughing

825
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:34,560
with anyone. That's what everybody says. No. No. You know, I would like I think it also be like a

826
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:41,520
perfect time right now to release a rap because a lot of people hear me joke about it, but they've

827
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:46,800
never actually listened or don't realize that I actually am like, well, I'm gonna have it.

828
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:53,600
You know, I'm gonna say this. You don't necessarily sort of put forth the the image of being a rapper

829
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:59,360
but at the same time. I think that's pretty common anyways in this day and age. You know what I'm saying?

830
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:06,000
Yeah. It is fun when people are surprised. But I used, I mean, nowadays people would say I look like

831
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:12,800
a soundcloud rapper. I've been called that before, which is, which I, it's funny because I am.

832
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:18,960
I am a soundcloud rapper. So thank you. But it is cool to like really, I mean, you don't

833
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:25,760
expect a white guy even with all the great white rappers. All the great white rappers we have now.

834
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:31,600
That's the name for the four of them. You know, white rappers. Yeah. White rappers are now called

835
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:39,840
white. Yeah. Yeah, man. But even with the four grades we have now, you still, it still surprises

836
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:45,360
people when somebody white can rap and like not to like discredit anybody or like a love art,

837
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:51,360
everybody's art, but a lot of white rappers sound like really nerdy and they're really just saying

838
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:57,200
big words. It is cool to surprise people. So I think that is something, I don't know if I'd ever be like a

839
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,960
a full time rapper, but I definitely see myself rapping again. Right now I have a full time job.

840
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:09,440
And I'm trying to put my all in the comedy. So they're rapping. Well, yeah. So if I like ever made

841
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:16,080
a living like got to where I didn't have to work in 95, I definitely, you know, make a album.

842
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:20,800
And I don't really know. Only thing I also like to do is like skits. I like skits. I like acting

843
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:26,640
and just taking all characters and stuff. So that'd be cool. But right now it's just like my

844
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:31,760
nine to five comedy and see my mom when I can. Or like trying to get a date. I also want to be a

845
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:37,280
dad one day too. That's a, yeah. We were talking, we were talking out there and Patrick was saying,

846
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:41,120
yeah, yeah, I can't believe you're a dad. Like I forget you're a dad. And I said, yeah, I do

847
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:48,880
to sometimes. It is different. It does change things. It's like, I just don't know like, man, I'm 34 now.

848
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:54,320
Which I know I could, you know, I've got some time. You know, I'm 34 now and I'm finally getting

849
00:51:54,320 --> 00:52:00,000
into something that I want to give my all to. So I don't even have time to try to think about

850
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:05,600
a family right now. So it's like, I don't know. I guess I'll, I'll just go with the flow also.

851
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,960
So I don't plan stuff, but I'm not going to plan like home and I find somebody have a kid

852
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:15,040
right now. But I do want one one day, but I see myself chasing comedy as much as I can right now.

853
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,960
So I can see you being a dad man. You probably be pretty cool. I mean, you seem like you're

854
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:22,480
cool and they bad. Like one of the things, you know, trying to draw the line between being

855
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,600
like that funny silly dad, you know, because I am a comedian. My kid knows I'm a comedian. You know,

856
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:32,880
what are comic, I guess you could say, but, you know, and then sometimes I break bad on them and then

857
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:38,960
he's like, oh, but you also have to like be cool and discipline. Like you have to discipline

858
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:45,120
and, uh, and teach and, you know, make sure they don't fuck up, you know, and they wrote a song about

859
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:51,440
that. Yeah. Teacher children well. Yeah. Well, that's good, man. I think, I think you, you seem like a pretty

860
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,920
well-rounded person. You seem like you got to your, yourself. You got, you got Mojo going.

861
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,560
Which is good. Yeah, man. And you don't, you don't have to follow any of my advice, because what the

862
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:07,120
fuck am I? I'm sitting, no, I appreciate advice. I appreciate like I just, I'm always, I think that's

863
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:13,760
part of the reason why I'm so far successful, like not successful, like rich, but successful as

864
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:20,560
and doing good is big and, you know, doing good and doing more and like things are common for me

865
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:27,120
because I, I'm open to advice and I, I've always want to learn, like I sometimes you get mad, like

866
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:31,680
somebody tries to teach you something and people, I know, I got it, you know, I don't need you to

867
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:36,160
tell me, no, I need you to tell me. You know, I'm saying like, and even if I make my own decision,

868
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:42,080
you know, it's like I appreciate all advice and, uh, always trying to soak up new information

869
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:47,760
and, uh, and use it the best I can and, uh, I remember talking to you whenever I met you and I

870
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:51,760
remember you, you, you, you asked me a question, you were, you were talking about like, you know,

871
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:57,280
building jokes, you were like, I, I, you know, you got any advice on like building my act, building my act

872
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:01,200
up and, and that's exactly what you said, I think you were trying to say like build it up quickly,

873
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:05,680
but the thing was, was you actually listened to me. I don't know how many times do you have gone,

874
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:09,280
do you know, what do you think about this and I start telling them and then you could see their

875
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:13,680
face go blank, like, yeah, you know what I mean, you didn't really want to fucking know this,

876
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:19,040
what do you, yeah, don't patch a nice, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, you've got to be able to learn,

877
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:24,960
I mean, everybody should be open, be open to learn it, you don't know it all, we don't know

878
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:30,160
money knows it all. No, no, well, that's like, uh, it's like, uh, but it kind of takes us into the

879
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,880
accent, because like, you know, we were talking, uh, off air, I guess you could call, you could say it,

880
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,240
um, when we were doing the break and we were saying, you know, like, what do you feel,

881
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:45,360
the state of comedy is and the way it is and I just maybe kind of a, in debt heavy question,

882
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:51,840
but where do you feel like in the relation of comedy is to sort of what modern culture is now?

883
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:56,560
Do you know what I mean? Like, do you feel, you know, do you feel like it's changed because of it?

884
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,920
And I, and I, and I actually this because you want the people that I've run into,

885
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:05,600
who is, uh, you know, 30s and younger, who has actually been paying attention to comedy for a long

886
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:12,320
time. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, man, uh, one of my biggest fears like when I, okay, so

887
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:18,640
uh, uh, uh, uh, I love Richmond, so happy to be part of the community here.

888
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:23,520
But I do notice Richmond is a little more progressive than where I grew up at.

889
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:28,080
Right. So one of my fears was man, well, I'd be able to express myself, well, I'd be able to say

890
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:34,800
what I want to say, you know, I have been able to and I think there's a place for everybody in comedy,

891
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:40,960
but I do love how can we take, and that this shouldn't be anybody's goal, like to,

892
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:46,400
to come out talking about sensitive topics, but if you can make it funny the same way you make,

893
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:52,800
I make my own problems funny. If I can like make the world's problems funny or, you know,

894
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:57,520
how, how can we both, we have two different views? How can we both laugh at something, you know,

895
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:02,720
and like, uh, I took somebody else's advice like, don't worry about talking about

896
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:09,040
sensitive topics right now. Learn how to be funny, you know, learn how to be funny, and, um, and then,

897
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:15,040
you know, whatever, it is cool to like, I think right now people want to hear everything. They don't

898
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:21,120
want to hear, they don't want to govern our own comedy, you know, so like, but the thing is making it

899
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:26,400
funny and not doing it out of hate, but doing it out of, like, hey, we can laugh together. You can

900
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:31,360
laugh at me and I can laugh at you, you know, and we can laugh at each other, but like when it comes to

901
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:37,520
the point of like being mean or like inciting violence and that that is not comedy. That's,

902
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:43,200
uh, that's not comedy. Right. I think that's very well said. Yeah, I, you know, one of the best

903
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:48,560
attitudes people can have and we both share this mentality is just don't be shitty and uh,

904
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:53,200
I think that's one of the biggest things and I, you see in comedy, you see it and everything. I don't know,

905
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:59,440
for me, I feel like comedy has, you know, I, I don't want to touch religion or politics anymore,

906
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:03,920
and I feel like if there's something that we can all do, we can all come together and be in a room

907
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:09,280
laughing about, you know, school buses or whatever, I was thinking about Holly's jokes just now.

908
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,440
I don't know, I Holly Bumble. Yeah. And we'll give her a shout out. Holly. Holly, what's up, girl?

909
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:18,560
That was just, you know, we can all laugh about school buses. Yeah. And then, yeah, I mean, that's a

910
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:24,400
good thing to have something along those lines. Yeah. It tries me crazy when I see young comics

911
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:30,240
and they go down that road of, yeah, just the device of shit and it's like, come on, man. Yeah,

912
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:37,520
you can get past it. Yeah. Man, if you, if you take aside, then you're, you're limiting your audience,

913
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:44,880
you know, and like me, I, I, I'm not a guru or anything, but I feel like I haven't figured it out,

914
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:49,600
but like, okay, religion, I used to hate religion growing up. What, what, no, let me start over.

915
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:55,760
I was, I went to church growing up and I learned, you know, a lot about being a good person,

916
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,520
you know, but then you grow up and you start realizing how it's like controlled by money and it

917
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:04,880
divides people and war and this and that, you know, so then I hated religion and he should just like,

918
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:10,480
always try to preach a people, oh, this is, it's not real. It's, it's all about controlled power.

919
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:15,440
And then, and then now older, I'm like, hey, I appreciate anybody that believes in like something

920
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:20,960
to be a good person. You know, some type of incentive, there's good and bad people everywhere,

921
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:25,440
you know, in every group, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't need to take a stance on religion

922
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:30,640
because, hey, man, if you're like trying, if you have something that makes you want to be a good

923
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:37,200
person great and I don't really have to take signs on politics because, hey, you know, be, be a good

924
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:41,040
person, whether you're like these views or this views, there's like nothing, I can really

925
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:47,440
do to change the world other than be nice to the people around me, try to be a better person.

926
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:53,920
And I'm not perfect. Like, I'm, I can be shitty sometimes, but to try to be the best person,

927
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:59,600
I can be and if I can improve myself, then I'm doing something in the world. You know,

928
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,440
instead of just like screaming at people, we have different views, but I don't, like, hey, man,

929
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:09,680
we can all learn and do better, you know, and so I don't have to like fight for one side or the

930
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:15,360
other. The key is to be on the same side to like everybody, you know, but almost, that's wishful

931
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:21,520
thinking though, but, you know, it is. I mean, it is wishful thinking, but I also in the same aspect

932
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:26,320
of it, I think that there's nothing wrong with having lofty goals. Super fort. And then if you

933
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:30,160
fall short, at least you probably landed somewhere. Yeah, just don't want to bully or yeah,

934
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:34,480
yeah, I don't want to be a part of an argument. I want to be a part of a conversation. So if like,

935
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:40,480
if anybody wants to, I'm not inviting people to. Conversations, but if like, if like, oh, why aren't

936
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,640
you fighting the fight? Like, I'm not arguing. I'm not, I'm not trying to argue with nobody, but if you

937
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:49,440
want to talk about something, let's talk, you know, so yeah, I hear that. But you have shows coming

938
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:57,120
up every 17th year. Me, the culpepper, sangria bowl. Yeah, I think it's in a, I don't know much about,

939
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:03,360
I think it's in like a theater or what you should be at a theater, a J. A. Toler. Uh, Dungeon. Mineral.

940
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:10,400
Good to know with him. Uh, the one show is Hamil's great show. Uh, I'm excited to go see him again.

941
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,800
I'm excited to do something out of town. I'm excited to do 15 minutes. I'm trying to have been

942
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,320
tightening that up lately. I don't know if people have a culpepper, but this, this will be out

943
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:23,040
before then should be. So go see that if you happen to check this out. February 24th, Annie

01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:28,880
Ruse right here, uh, close to me on whole street in mid-Lothin, doing clash of the comics on the 25th.

945
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:34,880
Yes. Yeah, right after that. Yes. A night after. Fet the funny bone, Richmond. You know,

946
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:41,280
excited about that. Gonna try to try to make an impression. The, the clash, man. It's like, uh,

947
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:47,520
a Richmond funny bone is the biggest club where we're at. It is the, it's the place where you

948
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:53,680
want to be, you know, if you're serious about comedy, I just love having something to look forward

949
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:58,400
to days to do, you know, probably it's way late into this podcast to promote it, but yeah, I do

950
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:05,680
run a show once every first Sunday and another round barn grill. Uh, you have done a great show

951
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:09,520
there. Have your set on YouTube. That was awesome. That was a fun time. That was really good.

952
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:15,200
Quick burn is available on my YouTube, Johnny podcast. Yeah, man. That was awesome. Uh, great set,

953
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:21,440
great time. Uh, but yeah, I do run the show every first Sunday at 7 p.m. at another round barn.

954
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:26,720
Grown Richmond. I love that. We don't have to talk much about it, but I do definitely you should

955
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:31,760
come out. It's a fun time. I do whatever I want. What's I need to work? I want to be in a, uh,

956
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:37,600
more friendly, not friendly. I am friendly, but more professional host because I get in there like

957
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:42,800
I'm the free track. So I need to like work on like, you know, uh, well, the show I did with you,

958
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:48,800
I definitely you've definitely had a comfort factor in that room. So one of the, like, when I first

959
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:53,680
go to a place to do comedy, even if I'm, you know, I'm working regularly, week after week,

960
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:59,760
the my first show in a new place tends to be kind of, you know, it's not, it's not quite me. It's not

961
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,520
quite me. Yeah, it's my jokes. Yeah, it's my, but it's not, that's not that comfort factor.

962
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:08,960
And when I saw you and on the round, because you're there every show running the show, which is great.

963
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:14,800
You definitely have a comfort factor, but I don't, I don't think it detracted from the show,

964
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:19,440
but it is, it is pretty, it's pretty laid back though. Yeah, I say that, which is cool.

965
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:23,600
What does cool? That's what I want it to be, man, where like anybody can come anybody,

966
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:29,440
no matter what, you know, you can do your offensive material, you can do your pro,

967
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:35,920
pro, whatever, whatever thing you support or want to put it, whatever, I want you to, I want

968
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:41,680
everybody to be able to do what they want, no matter what. And, but also, I've kind of realized,

969
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:47,040
I got some advice recently, what shall I really take into consideration, like, do I really

970
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:53,040
want to start a show, be in very dirty and vulgar and then, you know, and then bring on a comedy,

971
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:57,920
could might be a little more clean or, you know, so that's something that I'm really considering,

972
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:02,640
but I also, it's just so fun to have a room where I can do what I want in the crowd super cool,

973
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:06,560
you know, the crowds with it, but we've had some great shows there.

974
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,720
And one of your anniversary was cool, I'm looking forward to what's to come,

975
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:16,160
and it is cool having your own spot and being around friends and doing a show with friends,

976
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:21,840
like when I do Sammy to Mimi's room, man, this is my buddy bringing me up. I just feel like,

977
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:27,280
welcome, I feel like I'm, we're at home, we're hanging with the buds and like it makes a set go,

978
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:33,360
like I'm always had a good set there at the revela, how dirty, if you could, if you could have your

979
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:38,400
own show, you're the headline, you're the man, you're on Netflix, right? Yeah, it's your level of

980
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:45,920
blueness as we were saying that you would actually go to. Oh, yeah, man. So,

981
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:52,960
I'd love to like just cover it all. I have a few innocent jokes that are just like normal stuff

982
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:58,320
that anybody can relate to and then some of those really cool I did that don't tell show at the

983
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:03,680
lingerie place and the thing about comedy is you never know when you're gonna kill. You know,

984
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:07,520
if you're, you never know what the crowd's gonna be like, I mean, you can do well, but when you're

985
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:12,800
killing, you just have them in the palm of your hand. That's when I like, man, I have a couple of

986
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:18,080
jokes that I do different ways depending on the crowd, like it might be seen as offensive if

987
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:27,040
it bombs or whatever, but like, man, don't tell, I got to do like I just had them in for,

988
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:31,360
and then so I was like, when I got to the joke where I do it, sometimes I do it one way,

989
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:36,560
sometimes I do it the other way, and I just did it the offensive way, and it was like one of

990
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:42,960
my biggest pops, you know, and then afterwards I was like, yeah, sometimes I have to switch

991
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:49,920
that joke up, but y'all are cool, you know, you know, and I love crowds like y'all that. I don't

992
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:54,480
even want to say the topic, but it was just like, yeah, I love hateful crowds like you. I can say

993
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:59,280
what I want, you know, but it was a joke too, and they're not really hateful people, but I'm saying,

994
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:03,520
hey, yeah, we're all being paired together, you know, so like, yeah, I want to go from top to bottom,

995
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:08,960
like, if it's funny to me, I mean, if it's funny to me, and I can make it funny for other people,

996
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:15,280
like, I want to be, be our rated. Yeah, man, are, yeah. So one of the things, so what you were

997
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,720
you were talking about the, the whole thing with the launch rate, so that was actually what was

998
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:25,440
that, Lish's boutique, right? And you actually did, made me, almost made me spit my water out,

999
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:32,000
because I was watching, and the other reason I give this joke away is because it is on, I think

1000
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:37,440
I Instagram, but you were talking about, now this is the first time I've ever been forced, I think

1001
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:43,120
it's how you put it to do comedy with a bowner. Or will not necessarily forced, this is the first

1002
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:50,080
time that I've had this first time I've ever had to do comedy with a bowner, because it was just,

1003
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:54,800
yeah, man, it just, when you can get them with that first joke, I mean, there's lawns array everywhere,

1004
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,320
yeah, yeah, there's, you can see it in the background, like a lot of people might not get it, but if you

1005
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:04,240
look at the video, Patrick Logan comedy on Instagram, if you look at the video, you can see like sparkly

1006
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:09,440
brawls in the background and stuff and, dude, I should, I should have was funny and one of the

1007
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:14,320
things I always appreciate about watching an other, a comic, even before I ever did, I think a

1008
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:22,240
big comedy was to see a comic do a joke that I could say there and go, man, fuck, I wish I

1009
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:26,400
thought of that. Yeah, and I don't think I would have thought about that in that place, I literally,

1010
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:32,080
I was so much fun, one of my most fun sets for sure, but it is cool when you do something

1011
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:37,680
off the cuff, something improv with the first, because I don't even have an opener joke for

1012
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:42,000
white crowds, man, I have an opener joke for black crowds, it's, I just want to start off by saying,

1013
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,400
I'm one of the good whites, you know, and that always gets them really fast. I do not have an opener

1014
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:53,520
for white crowds and like one of the openers I was using, it takes about 30 to 40 seconds to get to,

1015
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:59,760
I like to get a laugh right away, so I really need to work on an opener for white crowds, but

1016
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:05,200
when I can think of something improv and just get a laugh that quick, it was so much fun,

1017
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:10,240
but when you try improv, when I try improv, to just start off saying something that's not

1018
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:15,360
own script, it can go either way, it can go good or bad, you know? Well, you always want to,

1019
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:20,960
so I was telling somebody, well, back, I was saying, you know, you know, get that mic out of the

1020
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:27,040
stand clean, get that first laugh within like the first like 30 seconds, ideally you want to do

1021
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:30,560
it like right off the bed and then I always tell people, stick the landing, because I don't,

1022
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:35,440
I don't care how slow your role starts, yeah, you just get to that ending and I was one of the

1023
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:40,800
biggest most frustrating things about me when I started back to in comedy, I wasn't sticking my

1024
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:46,080
landings, yeah, and I always tell comics, stick your landings, like just, they don't have to be a huge

1025
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:51,760
laugh, but just get to that point where you just, and you just, you just bow and punch us,

1026
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:58,160
you punch it and then you bow and you're done, yeah, you can do that, man, you're, your five steps

1027
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:03,440
ahead in the game in my opinion, as far as comedy goes. Yeah, man, that's, it reminds me of like,

1028
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:10,240
when I did go to Austin, man, I, I, I was just seeing so many great comics and they're just

1029
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:16,080
set up punch line and everybody has different set up punch line, set up punch line, it's just

1030
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:22,560
getting laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, and then I come back and see the competition at Sam and comedy club,

1031
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:28,400
and some guys, like some really good comics are on there, it's set up punch, set up punch, and I'm like,

1032
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:33,920
it really changed the way I saw my writing process, like they all said everybody says cut the

1033
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:39,360
fat cut the fat, but, but yeah, man, when you can just set something up and punch in it, like it's,

1034
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:43,600
it's, it's, it's, it makes it almost more, it makes it fun, man, it makes it fun, but that

1035
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:48,720
punch, yeah, man, I used to have it, I don't know where it is, it might be on a court board out of stairs,

1036
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:55,760
but it was Bill Hicks, 10 rules of stand up, and one of them, well, one of his rules is, I don't have

1037
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:59,360
anything playing, I just go out there and start and see where it leads me, and I've never been

1038
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:04,640
able to follow that. But one of the things that it says is a economy of words, and, you know,

1039
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:09,280
and pick the words, trim the fat, but don't trim out what you need, like make sure you get the

1040
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:15,040
point across. Yeah. He also, one of the things he also said was, don't ask them if it's funny. Yes.

1041
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:22,080
Tell them it's funny. That's one thing I notice with somebody I know, it's my close to I love

1042
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:27,600
dearly, it's like, yeah, man, you have to tell them you're funny. You don't ask them, that, I mean,

1043
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:32,160
that's, that means you said it, I just repeated exactly what you said, but yeah, man, like,

1044
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:36,480
even if they're not laughing, and you just have that confidence in looking at, like, yeah,

1045
01:09:36,480 --> 01:09:40,560
this is funny, especially with like the Apollo night, whether trying to like boo you, it's like,

1046
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:44,480
you have to have that confidence, you know, they want to boo you, you know, they might boo you

1047
01:09:44,480 --> 01:09:49,760
even if you're good, just, it's, did you get booed and you did the, the first time I went, I got

1048
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:57,200
booed, but I came back, I have this awesome comeback. I'll go ahead and give away. Yeah,

1049
01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:01,840
there's somebody started booing and I was like, they didn't say boo, that's my baby mama. She said,

1050
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:08,720
that's my boo, you know, and they died laughing. That's good, man. And then after they, they

1051
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:13,920
laughed for like five to 10 seconds and then I was like, I'll be done in a moment sweetheart,

1052
01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:20,160
but then sometimes like I wonder like, am I coach switching because when I do a black room,

1053
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:27,840
my accent comes out, you know, and sometimes I think man, am I coach switching, but the truth is,

1054
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:35,200
I've actually coached switched to not have that accent, to not sound, who would or get or whatever,

1055
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:39,520
but what could you say before you kind of grew up in that culture? Yeah, we're younger.

1056
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:44,240
Rapping and then my job, I do customer service and when they, when they first hired me,

1057
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:48,560
they were like, hey, you have to have your, I don't want to say the company, you have to have your,

1058
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:53,600
your company voice. Sure. So like instead of saying, your corporate voice. Yeah, and instead of saying,

1059
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:59,040
like, hey, I'm gonna look at your account, you have to say, I'm going to look at your account. Sure.

1060
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:05,680
Or, you know, so that really helped me with comedy because I didn't use to always talk and pronounce

1061
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:10,400
my words like this. So when I'm in front of a crowd, they can hear what I'm saying. You know,

1062
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:16,640
they can understand. I mean, it is pretty cool how my job helped me be better at comedy,

1063
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:22,560
you know, because I got into my job like a year or two before comedy. So getting that phone voice,

1064
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:27,120
has helped me to work. But then when I am in front of a black crowd or like,

1065
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:34,400
everybody's wild and I'm like, I love rap. You know, I love rap. You know, it's like,

1066
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:39,760
it's like, yeah, and it's like, it is one girl, man, why girl, crazy, man. It's why girl said,

1067
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:43,760
it's crazy shit to me. And it's like, like, people might say your coach switching, but no,

1068
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:48,640
that that's, I'm coach switching right now, you know, like, I'm, you know, but it's cool,

1069
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:55,360
man, I love the, I love psychology and just the different people. And yeah, so that's another interesting

1070
01:11:55,360 --> 01:12:01,040
thing. So there's like two sides of my comedy. Right. Well, I think you have the, you do have the

1071
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:06,640
psychology because there is one of those things you have to sort of psychoanalyze people is to like,

1072
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:12,000
what can I say? What can I not say? And not on like a fence level, but just really what can I do to

1073
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:16,640
get them to make them laugh? And you have to sort of think about where are they coming from?

1074
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:21,840
Well, you can paint that picture in their head and make them laugh about it. Right. Um, I also think

1075
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:26,320
it's a, that's a good mentality to have. I also think it's cool that you admit that you have a job,

1076
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:32,080
that you work a lot of people would come on this podcast, maybe comedy comedy. Do you have a job?

1077
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,200
Job, but the fuck is that? Yeah, when they do, you know, they work down the street,

1078
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:41,760
it fucking whatever. Yeah, man. Like the idea of being a like, like, a struggling comic, like, yeah,

1079
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:49,120
that'd be awesome like 10 years ago. It's when I was 20, 24. I could see myself having room mates,

1080
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:54,080
struggling being broke. I spent a lot of time doing that with rap, like just a work,

1081
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:58,800
going to a restaurant job. Now, I finally, I've got a great job. Very thankful for it.

1082
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:03,440
But it does, man, I'm exhausted, man. I've worked 40 hours and then I do comedy.

1083
01:13:03,440 --> 01:13:10,000
Feel like I could accomplish a lot more. That is a goal to like, I'm very far from it, but to

1084
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:15,360
make a living, doing comedy, even if it's, but it is very nice having a job, being able to

1085
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:21,680
to go out to the open mics, having gas, having money for beer to and a meal, being able to fund

1086
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:26,240
what I want to do if I want to take a trip somewhere, you know, and I get that. Well, you all said,

1087
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:30,800
you have a good hustle factor. Like you have a good, you have a good drive. I was saying before,

1088
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:35,440
like I've done nothing but comedy at times. And there's time, like when I met my wife and then we

1089
01:13:35,440 --> 01:13:40,400
found out the six months later that pregnant, I could have supported myself on comedy money. But as

1090
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:46,480
far as doing it and supporting them for the level I was at. Yeah, family. Yeah. It changed a lot.

1091
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:51,120
And then, you know, so there's nothing wrong with that. That's good drive factor, man.

1092
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:58,560
I'd really like to quit my job in five years or less, you know. And get it steady to where I can

1093
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:05,040
have a family, like, okay, I've got like right now I couldn't possibly because I've got to be

1094
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:12,080
it to next open like, you know, at home, sleep home. You know, like, I've just got to do it. I

1095
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:17,200
got to keep it up. But it would be nice to get to the point where okay, it's solidified. I'm getting

1096
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:24,560
work. And now I can, you know, but how do you even do it? Because comedy is a everyday thing, man.

1097
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,720
It's like, it can't be. I mean, that's, you know, I'm not getting back to a deal with it. Like I used to,

1098
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:34,160
but at the same time, it's, you know, hey, it is what it is. But like, friends is like, my wife's

1099
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:40,240
awesome. Like she supports me doing comedy and everything. But I always say to her, hey, there's

1100
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:45,520
an open mic at, you know, such and such thing about going, you know, is that cool with you? Where's

1101
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:50,160
opposed to when you're a single guy? When I was your age, you know, I'd turn around. I'd pat the

1102
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:54,160
dog, my dog and I'd head out through some food in his bowl and walk it door and be back three hours

1103
01:14:54,160 --> 01:15:01,200
later. No, you know, cares in the world. But, you know, things change, things change. And I,

1104
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:05,280
yeah, do it like you can. Yeah, I'm going to some broad this thing out and, you know,

1105
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:09,920
yeah, ride it out. See where the fuck it takes you? Yeah, man. I hear that. Patrick Logan,

1106
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:15,040
you're a good guy. Thank you, man. I try to be like, I hope so. Yeah. You seem like, well, I

1107
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:20,000
wouldn't have invited you to my house to meet my way of him at the Cadillet, but he was, he was

1108
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:24,240
taken in that, but you, you can meet him after this. But when I'd done quiet with, when I

1109
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:28,400
quite done with you yet, okay. I was here as much as you would still hear sitting here talking.

1110
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:35,120
I'm captive in Chondi Miller's basement. I got my one corner over here and then you got the,

1111
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:40,400
the crafts. I've told people here on the podcast. I'm literally looking at a, you know, a giant

1112
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:45,840
Snoopy. Yes. Let's see it. I'm touching it. Here's a, hey, and Charlie Brown. Oh, yeah, I didn't

1113
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:51,520
forgot Charlie was over there. Yeah. It just, yeah. He lowered me in with Star Wars posters. I do have

1114
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:56,160
Star Wars posters and I do have others. I have my own side of it. All right. So a couple of things.

1115
01:15:56,160 --> 01:16:00,480
All right. So you are a Steelers fan, but you're a football fan. Yeah, man. All right. Let's talk about

1116
01:16:00,480 --> 01:16:06,320
Super Bowl. What you got? Oh, granted. This will probably come out that, maybe Monday. I'm, I'm

1117
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:12,560
probably about a Monday at that early. So whatever you say is going to be post, Super Bowl. Yeah.

1118
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:20,720
But so this could make me like a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a 40 nine,

1119
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:25,920
hours. You take it at nine or so. Okay. So like I love Patrick my homes and I love Travis Kelsey.

1120
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:32,400
I want to see a good game. I know it'll be it. I just don't want to blow out either way. I want to

1121
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:41,040
see a Super Bowl go down to the wire. You know, last week. But I think, uh, I like, I'd like to see

1122
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:46,400
49ers win it. I mean, Patrick my homes is all over the place. He's been in Super Bowl a lot. And why do we

1123
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:50,640
always hate to like, why do we always like to hate a winner? No, I don't hate him at all.

1124
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:54,720
But it's like you want to see somebody. He's the best. So you want to see somebody beat him.

1125
01:16:54,720 --> 01:17:01,600
I was not, I was not hating on on all honesty. I was not really hating on my homes himself. I don't

1126
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:07,840
like his wife, but, but that's one other story. I wasn't really on my homes until as far as a negative

1127
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:14,640
fact to go, until I see him repeatedly, you know, the off sides, uh, self like that, or he throws a ball

1128
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:20,240
and, you know, Tony misses a drops a ball. I don't know, he's got his own issues, but he drops a ball.

1129
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:24,640
And where is my home? So in the middle of 65,000 people watching, he's going away. He's put his arms

1130
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,560
away. You know, it's like, fuck you. You do get back in the hotel. Be a leader.

1131
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:33,840
Like I damn football. Yeah. That's just like almost like second nature. Like, let me

1132
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:38,640
try to get this flag. And sometimes the flag sometimes is not what's his name, Josh.

1133
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:44,960
Uh, Josh Allen. Josh Allen. I'm a fan that did. He like, yeah, the big fan. He, uh,

1134
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:51,440
and when he played the stealer, a week or two ago, he had like, uh, almost kneel, almost slid.

1135
01:17:51,440 --> 01:17:56,320
Oh, yeah. But then didn't slide and kept running and then, and then he goes to slide and like a

1136
01:17:56,320 --> 01:18:01,120
stealer's player hits them and then he goes to flag. Yeah, it gets to flag. Toses arms up and then

1137
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:08,000
it is funny because I like, I'm like, oh, you can't always fake a slide and then get

1138
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:12,880
man when somebody hits you. And then I actually commented that I don't usually get into our Facebook

1139
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:18,560
arguments, but I was like, you can't always fake a slide and then get mad when somebody hits you

1140
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:24,400
and then somebody commented, oh, it's always now. He did, and it's like, I caught myself being one

1141
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:29,360
of those like mad football people like he didn't always, he did it once. And now like you can't

1142
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:35,680
always fake a slide, you know, you fell in the air on trap. Yeah, man. But I think it's the thing

1143
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:41,920
awful ball players do my grandma, uh, my late grandmother, she's about I hate the red skins because they

1144
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:47,840
always cheating. Always trying to put the ball three yards ahead when they're, when they're already

1145
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:52,480
down, you know, trying to like run and back so I get tackled and put the, but then you see everybody

1146
01:18:52,480 --> 01:18:57,200
doing it. And it's like, that's just, everybody's trying to get that extra inch that extra,

1147
01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:03,520
who was she, a fan of man. Oh, man, I should know this. I should know this. Well, usually they hate

1148
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:08,640
the red skins or cowboys. Did she like the he hate the he hates? I think she might have liked the

1149
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:17,520
Patriots. Was she a Brady fan? I believe I'd hate to save wrong in my grandmother, but uh, I think so.

1150
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:22,960
But for, and this was like, I mean, she passed away a while ago. So it might have been like before

1151
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:28,960
he had won all of them, you know, man. So she was, if she was a pacifist, he was back in the day when they

1152
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:34,960
everybody's poor cousin. I don't know. I hope not to be getting it wrong, but if I am smite me,

1153
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:40,320
um, but no, I think she, I think so. I'm gonna have to text my mom after this. I won't judge you.

1154
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:45,200
Yeah. But uh, no, it's, it's funny how you were talking about getting an argument on Facebook.

1155
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:52,000
I'm so glad I don't drink anymore. Like I haven't had a, a terrible Facebook argument with somebody

1156
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:57,040
about sports at least in an, in an, in a long time. It's one of those things like I feel bad about

1157
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:02,240
the same time. You know, all that, nothing to share what had happened. Like if it's the face,

1158
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:07,360
yeah, well, I, no, I just, I feel like, um, no, I'll, I, I would not say anything online that I

1159
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:11,040
wouldn't say to somebody's face. I try not to, because that's just a bunch of, you know,

1160
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:15,600
pussy shit. But I, I, I just, I'm like, I would not have cared at the time nearly as much

1161
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:21,280
of I wasn't hammered. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's the thing, man. We all, we all do shit.

1162
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:27,520
We all say things we regret. And if you, if you don't think you have done something that you regret,

1163
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:33,440
then you will, you know, you will or you're absolutely wrong because everybody's done something.

1164
01:20:33,440 --> 01:20:39,200
Or you'll just always be wrong. Yeah. Yeah. And like my life improved tremendously when I

1165
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:44,160
stopped arguing on Facebook. Like, uh, because, you know, when somebody's, I mean, this was like

1166
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:49,120
years ago, though, but uh, when somebody, when you're arguing with somebody on Facebook, there's no,

1167
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:52,400
there's no real resolve. No, neither of you are going to be like, you know what, you're right.

1168
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:58,320
And if you are, it's going to take a lot longer to get there than in person. And, uh, I mean,

1169
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:05,520
I'm just like a big fan of some people might not toxic positivity, but like, I don't want to see

1170
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:10,320
the negative shit, man. I don't want to see whether you're on this side or this side. I don't want to

1171
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:17,680
see it, man. So the only thing I see on my algorithm now is a memes, comedy, jokes, whatever, like,

1172
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:24,000
or good morning, uh, the grand rising king, you know, like, I'm not seeing no negative shit.

1173
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:28,080
It might have affected my comedy too, because now I don't have strong opinions on things.

1174
01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,960
Let me write a joke about this. I don't know what's going on in the world.

1175
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:34,880
Yeah. I think you're doing fine. It's like, I want to see good stuff. And yeah, the

1176
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:39,440
day I stopped arguing on Facebook. So I don't, I don't even remember the topic, but I remember like,

1177
01:21:39,440 --> 01:21:45,280
I had a date. I'm not going to argue with this. I'm going on a date. You know, so I think it's

1178
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:49,680
a fun life. You got to be. You got in whether whether you're right or wrong,

1179
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:55,200
there's a, there's a negative headspace in a positive headspace and like to be in that always,

1180
01:21:55,200 --> 01:22:00,560
like, finding or arguing is just not good for anybody. Even if you are right, you know,

1181
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:05,520
how you say things, I could be right all day, but if I'm screaming at it, somebody and like,

1182
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:12,560
you know, what's the point? Yeah. Yeah. I have unfriended people that maybe said something

1183
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:16,720
I didn't like on Facebook, but I'm also reading it in a bad way. I'm unfriended people

1184
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:20,960
and then seeing them in public, you're like, man, why did I? This guy's great. You know, or this

1185
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:27,440
girl's great. You know, why did I, if you're like spewing your, your, uh, just your negative

1186
01:22:27,440 --> 01:22:33,040
feelings on a Facebook, then it's like me. I just don't want to see. I just want to consume

1187
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:38,880
positive stuff mostly. Yeah. I think we're all guilty of like unfriending somehow. This person said

1188
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:44,160
this unfriend. Then you see him in their cool and it's like, and you've also, I've also said things

1189
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:49,040
that I look back and like, how did I say that? You know, right, there are times where like, I've

1190
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:54,400
gotten into an argument with somebody, screw that person, and then years later, running to somebody

1191
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:58,560
and they've gone, oh, you know that person? Yeah, I can't stand that person. I go, I can't

1192
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:03,040
stand that person either. Yeah. It's like you bond over it or something. Yeah. Yeah. Or what about

1193
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:08,800
when somebody unfriends you and you're like, why? Yeah. I never. I've never worried about it.

1194
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:16,720
Everybody has the freedom of what you choose to consume in your brain. Right. You know,

1195
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:22,320
I mean, I'm very blessed. We're all very blessed to like, if you've got arms, legs, heat,

1196
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:28,000
water, a bed, but really makes my life better. It's just like, being appreciative and just

1197
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:33,120
consuming stuff that makes me feel good. You know, and I mean, I think there's a fight to be

1198
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:39,760
fought, but I used to get mad about a lot of stuff and try and, but I was actually being a worse

1199
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:47,200
person by carrying around that attitude, man. And to actually, you know, consume stuff that makes

1200
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:52,960
me feel good and trying to do things that make me feel good, being grateful for what I have.

1201
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:56,800
I mean, that's just like, it's made my life a lot better. And we're all, well, go through things that

1202
01:23:56,800 --> 01:24:02,320
really fuck us up and like, might, you know, change your attitude for a little bit. And that's also a

1203
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:07,120
young rebellious thing. And we do need rebellion, but it's like, I guess maybe I'm just to the age

1204
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:13,680
now where I'm just like, I'm not rebelling anymore. I'm just, but I'm also not conforming. I'm just

1205
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:18,880
making it work for me. I don't know, JFK said or somebody said it. The best way to change something

1206
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:22,400
is to infiltrate it. You're not going to take over the government. You're not going to fight the

1207
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:28,160
government. You're not going to fight the police. They will always win. But we can infiltrate them

1208
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:33,200
everybody. You hate to government be a politician. You know, you hate the police be a police,

1209
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:37,760
be the good in the world that you want to see and change the culture from being a part of the

1210
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:42,080
culture. Being a part of it. Being a whatever the culture, I think culture, but being into the

1211
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:45,760
dynamic, like, if you're not a part of it, you're not going to be able to fight it. You have to be a

1212
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,840
part of it in order to make a change in it. Yeah, man, the only way there's going to be a this

1213
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:55,840
side versus this side, if there's a civil war, if there's a apocalypse. And we don't want either of those.

1214
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:59,920
I don't want either of those. I used to want it. I used to be like, man, I hope all this shit

1215
01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:06,480
burn, I hope all this shit goes to shit. Like, no, me, I love electricity. I love having food in the

1216
01:25:06,480 --> 01:25:14,160
fridge. I love heat in AC. So it's like, you know, how can we all work together to make a better world,

1217
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:19,600
man? And if we can't change the whole world, let's make our world better. You know, I don't know,

1218
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:27,440
do. It's all good. That's a good message. That's a good thing to, but there's a lot of shitty things

1219
01:25:27,440 --> 01:25:32,640
going on in it on the, oh, I don't want it. Well, I don't end it on shit. Come on. I don't want to

1220
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:38,880
discredit like anybody that's not having a good time. There's, I mean, but, but for those who are blessed,

1221
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:48,160
you know, appreciate it. Right. No. My wife and my son have taught me more about appreciating what I have.

1222
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:53,360
I especially with my wife and my, and everything was staying up on me with a quitting drink and everything

1223
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:59,440
I was at that and it just stood. The type of person I was when I was at and it's been a really

1224
01:25:59,440 --> 01:26:03,520
hard try to try to just kind of rebuild myself, which is what I've been trying to do. And part of that

1225
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:07,760
was getting back to no-encomedy and also changes the other things. I think it's awesome, man. I think

1226
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:12,720
it's awesome. You know, when I heard one of your podcasts recently a thousand days, you know,

1227
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:18,320
I mean, it's hard to, it's hard to change your life like that, man. It is. It's, I, I don't

1228
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:24,960
like listen to me. I'm like, yeah, it is. God, David. No, it is, but I tell you, I appreciate it. It

1229
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:31,440
makes you appreciate things a lot. Yeah, man. I mean, a bigist, uh, I mean, I didn't even really change my

1230
01:26:31,440 --> 01:26:36,320
lifestyle until something happened, man. Like I had health issues, my gut issue, my gut, my

1231
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:43,120
diverticularitis ended up getting a colon resection and an ostomy bag, you know, and like,

1232
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:50,320
that's when I stopped doing adoror, I stopped, you know, smoking cigarettes, even though I'm vaping

1233
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:56,240
the shit now, it's for everybody that says vaping is worse, vaping, it doesn't affect your gut

1234
01:26:56,240 --> 01:27:01,200
bacteria. Still might mess my lungs up, but I had to focus on my gut, but now I mean, I hope,

1235
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:07,440
I think somebody said something recently, like, if you don't change life will make you change.

1236
01:27:07,440 --> 01:27:11,440
And that's what I think is I try to tell people. You got to be happy. Yeah, man, and like if it just

1237
01:27:11,440 --> 01:27:15,680
got to anybody or go, you're no good to anybody else. Yeah, man, nobody's going to come serve

1238
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:20,080
happiness on a platter to you. And I know sometimes like depression is stuff, it's in the brain,

1239
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:26,000
it's a chemical imbalance, it's this and that, I mean, if I could tell anybody, they try to find

1240
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:32,480
something small that makes you happy, you know, the other than drugs, sex, alcohol, you know,

1241
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:37,360
just like, kind of, nobody's going to find it for you, you know, and everybody's happiness is

1242
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:44,400
different, like comedy for me, family, taking a walk, but, you know, you're going to try to find it.

1243
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:52,960
That was awesome. Do you're a good dude, my thanks, man. We're trying to be, man. Thanks for

1244
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:58,720
coming me. Yeah, dude, you're awesome. And welcome back anytime. All right, I think you're done.

1245
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:02,880
I think I'm cut. You think we're done. I think we're he's like, get the hell out of my house. No,

1246
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:07,920
not. I'm not looking out for a few days. Hey, man, enjoyed it. Thanks for having me. Yeah, dude.

1249
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:30,320
over time, if anything, really, I don't want to give that way in the intro, whichever courted

1250
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:34,480
after the Super Bowl was over. And I didn't want to give away the fact that he was a rapper.

1251
