Hey everybody, welcome to Jon D Podcast.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,200
I'm your host, Jon D Miller.

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,680
Welcome to episode number 67, everybody.

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,600
Number 67, numero 67 in the old Espanol language.

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,600
That's right.

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:14,600
Mm hmm.

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,080
1211 going on 1212 days as I begin to record this intro of no booze.

8
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:22,080
No booze.

9
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:23,080
Yeah, no booze.

10
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:24,080
How are yous?

11
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:25,080
How are yous?

12
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:26,080
How are y'alls?

13
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:31,320
I say intro because I have an awesome guest on the episode here today, tonight, wherever

14
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,080
you are, whatever you're doing.

15
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,880
First met this guy 20 years ago, almost 2004.

16
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,920
My first trip to Ottawa to do comedy and it was a little scary.

17
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:48,360
I had to drive up there by myself from DC to Ottawa, capital of Canada.

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,680
And I get across the border, all that stuff to do.

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,040
I've been to Canada before, but with family and it was, you know, whatever.

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,040
It was personal stuff.

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,040
This was work.

22
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:01,840
And it was, I don't know, it was a little daunting, but met this guy, saw him first.

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,760
I was like, man, this guy is awesome.

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,760
This guy is awesome.

25
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,960
I want to know more about this dude.

26
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:11,000
And as I got to know him, I realized, you know, I found out what, you know, a genuinely

27
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,520
funny, honest, sincere and cool as hell person.

28
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,620
And we had a great conversation through the power of modern technology.

29
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:22,320
This whole thing was a long time coming.

30
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:23,320
We talk about comedy.

31
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:26,000
We talk about his jokes a lot because I'm a fan.

32
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,760
So why wouldn't I?

33
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,840
But we also talk about other stuff and travels and how it affects life and how life affects

34
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,240
comedy and it was really, really cool.

35
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,520
I had a thoroughly good time.

36
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,640
We lost touch at one point for a little while, but you know, we always kind of kept tabs

37
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,920
on each other and he is none other than Mr. Darryl Purvis and you're going to love him.

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,920

my awesome buddy, Mr. Darryl Purvis, everybody.

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,800
Darryl, what's up, man?

51
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,120
Am I allowed to speak now?

52
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,120
You're allowed to speak now.

53
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,120
What's up, dude?

54
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,120
Hi, how's it going, buddy?

55
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,120
All right.

56
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,120
How are you?

57
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,120
We were.

58
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,120
It's been a long time.

59
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,480
This has been a long time in the making to get you on here.

60
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,480
It's been a long time.

61
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,880
I mean, in the intro, I'm sure I'll tell a little bit of the story, but I first met you.

62
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:50,880
We were working together in Ottawa at the Absolute Comedy Club in 2003, 2004.

63
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,280
2004, yeah, because I always reference when I know people or certain events happen by

64
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,400
where I live or who I was dating.

65
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,600
That's how I've always done it like my whole life.

66
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Yeah.

67
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,240
So I remember where I was living when I went up to Ottawa for the first time.

68
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,800
And that was when I met you and that was in 2004.

69
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,840
So I know because I was just starting to talk to my first wife then.

70
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,840
OK.

71
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,280
And then I moved to New York with her in 2005.

72
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,040
So I knew it was before 2005 for sure.

73
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,680
Yeah, it was Thanksgiving weekend in the States of 2004 was actually when it was.

74
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,360
And I actually had to go up and I had to like kind of like sneak into Canada because I didn't

75
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,360
at the time.

76
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,360
I don't know if I could say that.

77
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,360
Maybe they won't let me back in.

78
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,360
I'd love to go back.

79
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,320
I'm pretty sure the Canadian immigration don't care about something that happened in 2004.

80
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,480
But I didn't have a work visa.

81
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,160
So I went up to the border guy and he was like, what's your business in Canada?

82
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,320
And I said, I'm just looking around.

83
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,500
And they searched my car.

84
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:54,400
They searched my car, search the trunk, pulled out the spare, all that stuff.

85
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,840
But I got through and then I got up there and I got up to Ottawa.

86
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,760
And as I'll probably tell the story in the intro, but I got up there and I met this dude.

87
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,760
I'm like, who is this guy?

88
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,160
I don't think I talked to you much before the first.

89
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,320
That guy was J.R.

90
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,320
Rebick.

91
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,480
You know what?

92
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,120
My wife was asking me earlier.

93
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,640
My lovely wife, Liz, was saying, who was the headliner that week?

94
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,680
And I said, I don't even remember.

95
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,480
I just remember hanging out with Darrell a lot and drinking as he wasn't a big drinker

96
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,240
so you and I drank a lot.

97
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,200
Yeah, we hung out, had a great time.

98
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,280
And I don't think we actually talked because I got up there to Ottawa.

99
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:29,040
I driven up there from D.C.

100
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,880
I was living in D.C. area at the time and I got up there and I talked to you a little

101
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,420
bit before the show.

102
00:04:35,420 --> 00:04:37,120
But then we went on and we were staying in the same condo.

103
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,160
They had a comedy condo.

104
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,440
And then we went from the condo.

105
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,120
We went over and I was talking a little bit and then I watched your first set and I was

106
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,600
like, fuck yes, this guy is awesome.

107
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,840
And we just hung out afterwards.

108
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:49,880
And we've been we've been buddies ever since, man.

109
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,640
So, yeah, we did do a little disappearance act on each other there.

110
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,840
We didn't really talk for a few years, but that's me.

111
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:59,440
You have a family now.

112
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,480
So you have other things going on.

113
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,480
Sure.

114
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,760
And, you know, didn't even talk to you when the Capitals won the Stanley Cup.

115
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,760
I know.

116
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,880
Even get to wish you a happy Stanley Cup.

117
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,880
I know.

118
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:15,920
Well, you know, I do seem to remember posting on Facebook because the memory of that was

119
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,920
six years ago.

120
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,560
My memory popped up on Facebook of that.

121
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:25,000
And I remember putting on I saw in there I was I put on there all the all the anguish,

122
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,800
all the pain, all the tears, all that are all gone.

123
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,080
It's all just joy now or something along those lines.

124
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,720
And I just remember you like like nothing like nothing else.

125
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,040
Well, look, I I'm one of these people.

126
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,080
I don't as a Toronto Maple Leaf fan, I don't know how many hockey fans are listening to

127
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,120
this, but man, I will never be happy for another team's fans.

128
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,240
Well, you know, I just did my my last episode I did.

129
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,920
I just did a big Stanley Cup preview and stuff like that.

130
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,920
I didn't even talk about the Leafs.

131
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,880
I did talk about them a little bit in the previous episode.

132
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,760
And I was talking about the Panthers and everything.

133
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,600
But I was talking about how Edmonton and how everybody in Canada I'm rooting for Edmonton

134
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,960
to win because I want the Cup to go home because it's been since 93 since the Canadian team

135
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,120
won the Cup, which I, you know, it was a little bit kind of bullshit.

136
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,880
I mean, I know that the the numbers aren't there all the time.

137
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,200
But yeah, I always whenever my team goes out, dude, whenever the caps are out or they're

138
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,220
not making plus, I become a Leafs fan.

139
00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:27,180
And I was really going way before the capitals most years.

140
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:29,560
By the way, and maybe we'll cut this out later.

141
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,560
I don't know.

142
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,700
But by the way, the overtime winning goal was at landmark or whatever for the Bruins.

143
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:39,280
He went to dump it in and then and then he went in and got it.

144
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:41,380
He was he was behind the red line.

145
00:06:41,380 --> 00:06:42,840
So it should have been a fucking icing.

146
00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:43,840
I'm telling you.

147
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:45,280
Did you not have not seen that?

148
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:52,120
No, no, I'll tell you, I was this is I was in the UK doing shows and I was on an overnight

149
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,000
bus back to London.

150
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:03,440
So I had my phone, but I didn't have good enough Wi Fi to be able to watch it or anything

151
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,440
or listen to it.

152
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,620
I was trying to listen to it at the very least, but I couldn't.

153
00:07:07,620 --> 00:07:13,320
So I literally just had it on the NHL website watching little updates as they roll through

154
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,280
telling you what just happened.

155
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:23,040
So when they scored, it was kind of like after the fact, because I literally had my texts

156
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,800
from friends going, fuck that.

157
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,340
And I was like, so I didn't see any of that game, not a single second, because strangely

158
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:34,520
they weren't playing that game on any bar.

159
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:41,880
I was in Liverpool, not a lot of hockey fans in Liverpool.

160
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:48,600
And so, yeah, I was on the late night bus trying to get back to London so I could get

161
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,600
a couple hours sleep before my wife and I did some things the next day.

162
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,040
Like, yeah, I was trying to be a good husband.

163
00:07:54,040 --> 00:08:01,360
So I came back thinking I think we're going on a flu tour of Camden town in London that

164
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,480
next morning at 11 a.m.

165
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,280
So I basically I got back at like 7 a.m. slept for three hours and then went to that.

166
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,880
So yeah, I didn't even see any of that game.

167
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,880
I've never seen a goal.

168
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:11,880
I've never seen.

169
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,720
I heard he led in two week goals.

170
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,760
That's what you get for getting a capital's goaltender.

171
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Well, hey, they let him go for a reason.

172
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,760
So they let him walk to they even trade them.

173
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,760
They let them.

174
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,560
Yeah, as the Leafs will be letting them do this year too.

175
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,640
Yeah, I'm sure he just listened so many easy goals.

176
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:33,240
It's just he just can't figure out if he has ADHD or something and he doesn't pay attention.

177
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,240
But it's bizarre.

178
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,640
He'll be like looking the wrong direction and then they'll just shoot the puck from

179
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,640
the other side.

180
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:39,800
He's like, oh, where'd that come from?

181
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,880
And you're like, what what did you just do?

182
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,000
Yeah, that was the whole season with them.

183
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,720
So well, all right.

184
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,140
So let me get your opinion out.

185
00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:52,760
So you're rooting for the Oilers or you know, not all of my words from Edmonton and I need

186
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:53,760
them to lose.

187
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,040
I need them because you don't need her gloating.

188
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,040
Is that what it is?

189
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,040
I don't need her gloating.

190
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,040
Oh, see, this is the thing.

191
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,760
See, like my wife became a hockey fan because of me.

192
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,760
So she likes the Caps.

193
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,760
She just roots for right.

194
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,360
But we're both Cowboys fans.

195
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,360
We were when we met.

196
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,680
So that's kind of one reason why we met.

197
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:15,880
So there's no there's not been any of that in her house, right in that inner house rivalry,

198
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,200
however you want to say it.

199
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,760
So I've never had that.

200
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,760
But yeah, OK.

201
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,200
So it's terrible in our house because she doesn't care at all about hockey, but she'll

202
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,160
trash talk me about the Leafs.

203
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,160
See that's bad.

204
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,960
And you're like, no, can't bring that back into it.

205
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,920
You're like, she's going to be out.

206
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,440
And you know, she's you know, she's either in it or she's out.

207
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,640
You know, she's a proud Albertan is what she is.

208
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,880
She's proud to be from Alberta.

209
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:46,320
So she supports the Oilers and not the Flames, though, strangely enough.

210
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,440
But yeah, she doesn't watch a single game all year long.

211
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,120
I put the game on for us last night.

212
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,920
We had friends over one of her friends from Edmonton, strangely enough.

213
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,800
So we put I put the game on for them to kind of watch while we played cards.

214
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,160
And I watched it more than they did.

215
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,320
I watched I watched every second of it.

216
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,480
Well, I take that back.

217
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,200
We did get back from dinner a little late.

218
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,400
But but yeah, no, it was a good game.

219
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,700
I so all right.

220
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:11,700
So let's hear about this.

221
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:14,000
So you're rooting for the Panthers, though, right?

222
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Is that what you're I'm not.

223
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Are you just not rooting?

224
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,000
I want them both to lose.

225
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,640
Can they both because who are you cheering for this series?

226
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:25,600
Are you cheering for do you really want to see like a Vander Cain or Corey Perry win?

227
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,600
No, you don't.

228
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,600
You don't want either of those guys.

229
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:33,080
Well, see, my last episode of Florida, do you want do you want Sam Bennett or do you

230
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,080
want to check or do you want Gudas?

231
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,080
None of those guys.

232
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,080
You want what?

233
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,080
Goudas isn't there anymore.

234
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,080
But yeah, I was ready.

235
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,080
He's gone.

236
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,080
Yeah, you don't want those guys.

237
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,960
The last episode I said I was literally said they're going I don't know which one I said

238
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,040
I want the cup to go home, but I don't want to Vander Cain to win a cup.

239
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:54,160
And then but you know, the same Corey Perry even worse than a Corey Perry.

240
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Absolutely.

241
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,080
So I didn't even bring him up.

242
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,040
But you know, but with Bob Ross, I don't know.

243
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,200
I kind of feel like, you know, he's coming to his own.

244
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,200
He's 35 years old.

245
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,200
It took him forever.

246
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,320
But he finally he's a weird goal because he's a hotter cold.

247
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,680
He's one or the other.

248
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:09,680
Right.

249
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:14,240
Like he was killing the first two rounds of the playoffs last year and then going back

250
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,360
a little bit to normal.

251
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,360
That's when they lost in the finals.

252
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,720
I say he was back to normal, but he's just hot when he's good.

253
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,880
He's good when he's bad.

254
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,280
He's not good, I guess.

255
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,280
Yeah.

256
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,280
Yeah.

257
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,120
So you really cheering for the Oilers, huh?

258
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,120
Oh, yeah, man.

259
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,120
I want that.

260
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,360
I think the cup should go home to Canada.

261
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,360
I don't know if they're going to get it.

262
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,360
I did call Edmonton in seven.

263
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,040
So that's that was that.

264
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,520
So well, I love hanging out with you Canadians.

265
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,520
That's one reason why I used to love going up there.

266
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,520
I mean, I remember talking to Canadian people about hockey and they're like, all right,

267
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,520
shut up.

268
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,520
Like, OK, I get it.

269
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,520
We have other interests.

270
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,680
Yeah, exactly.

271
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,960
So let's let's let's not all do hockey here.

272
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:54,960
Let's get into this.

273
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,400
So Darrell, tell my listeners a little bit about where you're from and a little more

274
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:09,520
your background to to how you got from Canada, from the East Coast, Nova Scotia, the town

275
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,080
of Anagnash, 4000 people.

276
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,080
Lovely little town.

277
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,080
We have a show there next month.

278
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:21,400
And then I moved to Toronto after I graduated university and started to stand up.

279
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,560
And here I am 26 years later.

280
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:25,560
You know, it's weird.

281
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:30,480
I literally talked to three people only today before you.

282
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,160
All three of them I met in probably the first month of doing stand up.

283
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,840
So weird that those are the three people I talked to today.

284
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,560
It is pretty, pretty crazy.

285
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:42,020
Well, because you've done a lot of stuff.

286
00:12:42,020 --> 00:12:43,020
So let's go back to that.

287
00:12:43,020 --> 00:12:47,560
So you moved from Antgonish, you moved to Toronto, right?

288
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:51,600
And your first ever stand up set was at Yuck Yucks.

289
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:52,600
Yes.

290
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,800
And you knew from the very moment that you did it, that was what you wanted to do.

291
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,800
You wanted to be.

292
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,800
Oh, I knew before that.

293
00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,800
That's all I ever want to do.

294
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:00,800
That's why I moved to Toronto.

295
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,720
Other than the fact that I was a Leafs fan and a Jays fan and I had family here.

296
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,720
But that's why I moved here.

297
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,720
Yeah.

298
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,180
First show went really well and I knew this is what I want to do.

299
00:13:13,180 --> 00:13:15,180
Second show was terrible.

300
00:13:15,180 --> 00:13:20,400
Yeah, absolutely destroyed.

301
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,280
I was getting heckled constantly.

302
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,680
Was this at Yuck Yucks as well?

303
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:29,400
No, this was another show at something called the Groundhog Pub.

304
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,040
You can remember this 25 and a half years later, 26 years later.

305
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,200
It is funny how it creeps up on you, right?

306
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,200
Yeah.

307
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,600
You never forget your first time and then you probably don't forget your second or third,

308
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,600
especially when they were different places, right?

309
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,040
That's why I always joke that comedy is like sex, right?

310
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,400
So it's like your first time, it's very awkward and blurry.

311
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,480
I'm saying you don't know what you're doing.

312
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,720
And then the second or third.

313
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,020
But okay, so you knew you wanted to do it from beforehand, which is right.

314
00:13:57,020 --> 00:14:02,440
But since then you've gone on, you've worked in, so you lived in New York City, talking

315
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,240
about that, San Francisco, LA.

316
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,600
And then you just got back from the UK, right?

317
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,720
So basically what I'm setting up here is your timelines that you went through.

318
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,720
You did all of that.

319
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,080
And then and then from there you've gone on to.

320
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,620
So what was the UK like?

321
00:14:19,620 --> 00:14:20,880
Because you just got back.

322
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:21,880
It's good.

323
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:27,400
I mean, I'm starting to go there a couple of times a year and I really quite enjoyed

324
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,400
it.

325
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,600
It's all on comedy, man.

326
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,800
They love comedy over there.

327
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,520
It's all over their television.

328
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:40,800
It's it's yeah, they just treat comedians like artists.

329
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:41,800
Like they support them.

330
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:42,800
They enjoy them.

331
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,800
That's the way it should be.

332
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,800
Yeah, the way it should be.

333
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,160
I mean, there's, you know, like I said, there's more comedy clubs in London than there are

334
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,560
in Canada, which is insane when you think about that.

335
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,960
Like that's that is pretty crazy.

336
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:56,960
Yeah.

337
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:05,840
So I mean, plus the whole UK is the size of, you know, one Canadian province.

338
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:13,480
So think of 68 million people who are comedy obsessed, just there's just so many shows.

339
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,480
It's so good.

340
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,600
I think my friend Bobby Mayer was a comic over there.

341
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:25,440
I was having beers with him last week and he said something like 54 percent of people

342
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,960
in the UK go to at least one comedy show a year.

343
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:31,960
At least.

344
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,000
I mean, that's pretty high numbers considering how many people.

345
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Let's say the states.

346
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
They don't do that.

347
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Yeah.

348
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Yeah.

349
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,600
I mean, how many people, you know, other than coming to see you go to a comedy show at some

350
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,320
point and just I know a few here and there.

351
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,480
Yeah, it's not.

352
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,400
It definitely has a varying degree there that I would think would be as not as up there.

353
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,400
Yeah.

354
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,720
You know, I'll say this about European countries.

355
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,800
They love alcohol.

356
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:01,800
This is true.

357
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,640
In a way that I don't think we understand.

358
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,120
And that was what I couldn't believe.

359
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:16,880
But like, I still am blown away by how drunk people are in Europe.

360
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,520
But not like you and I getting drunk and we're walking down the street hammered eating a

361
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,720
slice of pizza or something like that.

362
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:24,720
Right.

363
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:25,720
Which is definitely been done.

364
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,960
You walk through the streets of like Liverpool or something and there are thousands of people.

365
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:36,920
And they are obliterated just walking from pub to pub.

366
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,640
Just you're like, but they're maintaining every night.

367
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:41,640
Yeah.

368
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:42,640
Yeah.

369
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,640
Yeah.

370
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:44,640
Yeah.

371
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:45,640
Yeah.

372
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,640
But they're like, literally, I can't, I keep saying this.

373
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,560
I can't believe in one month in the UK, how many people I saw bang into walls because

374
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:57,080
they were so drunk, just walking down a street and then just veer off right into a wall.

375
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,360
And you're like, wow, this is amazing and I like to drink.

376
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,520
We both know that about me.

377
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,520
I enjoy it.

378
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,080
I did too much.

379
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,640
So yeah, I would much rather never headline a comedy show in the UK.

380
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,360
I would much happier be in the opening act.

381
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:14,880
There's so many hammered people.

382
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,560
It's like, I guess it's like university, I guess.

383
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,080
That's what it kind of feels like.

384
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,240
Everybody in university got a homecoming or something when everybody's been drinking all

385
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,560
day during the big football game or whatever.

386
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,560
Yeah.

387
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,560
They do that here.

388
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,520
I think it's one thing it's funny because I was going back, I was watching some of your

389
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,040
stuff, your comedy now special.

390
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,200
I was watching some of your other stuff.

391
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,860
Some of the jokes, actually some of the stuff it was great because it was jokes that I saw

392
00:17:41,860 --> 00:17:43,920
you when I first met you.

393
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,520
One of the things in Canada is they say university.

394
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,000
They don't say, we go to university.

395
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,120
We say college, even if it's a university, which I think is just funny.

396
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:56,240
I don't know.

397
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,080
I don't bring it up more than just to say the differences in some of the stuff, the

398
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,760
way just Canada, just right up there to the north of us has its own little sort of.

399
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,000
Well, we have college here too, but college is more of a technical thing.

400
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Yeah.

401
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,160
You go to a technical college or something.

402
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,960
I remember being up there and doing a joke and, oh, it was this old joke I used to do

403
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:21,440
about being a lifeguard in the pool of balls at Chuck E. Cheese.

404
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,440
I think it was you.

405
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,760
I think it might've been you or somebody was like, we don't say, and then, oh, at the end

406
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,200
of the joke, I go, I knew I should have stayed in college, you know, just like one of those

407
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,000
little kind of funny taglines.

408
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
And you were like, we don't say college.

409
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,040
Like we say, we say university.

410
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,840
Just like, all right, this is fucking whatever.

411
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,840
Sorry.

412
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,560
We're two different countries, man.

413
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,720
We're two, what do you expect?

414
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,720
Yeah.

415
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,240
Your newest album, comedy album, Throbbing PB&J, right?

416
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,360
Which is, you didn't think I did this much research on you, did I?

417
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:54,760
Yeah, I can't believe it.

418
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,360
It's flattering.

419
00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:59,680
What you've done, because I'm actually jealous in a way, bring up this question.

420
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:05,520
What has living and being in all these different places done for your comedy as far as, what

421
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,760
has it taught you from going to different places?

422
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,400
I think that's one of the things I always liked, especially about when I used to go

423
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,400
on the road a lot.

424
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,360
I went to Ottawa, I went to the West coast.

425
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:19,600
What do you feel like being in all those different places sort of taught you as a comic?

426
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,600
That's a tough question.

427
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:21,600
I don't know.

428
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,200
I feel like I should have sent these questions to you ahead of time.

429
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,200
No, that's fair.

430
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,200
No, don't please.

431
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,400
I don't ever do something like that.

432
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,080
I don't know.

433
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:36,440
I don't think about, I did so little stand up in California because it was kind of, I

434
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,720
almost refer to them as my lost years where I spent a drifting through life.

435
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:47,600
But New York, I guess, just, man, there were so many good comics.

436
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,600
Yeah.

437
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,880
Well, let's think about New York.

438
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,920
Every comic is the best comic in the city they come from.

439
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,440
And you're doing shows with guys that can't get on at comedy clubs, even though they go

440
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,280
back and headline all the clubs in the state they're from.

441
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,520
And it just, I think it kind of taught me to work harder.

442
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,800
That was the number one thing.

443
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,800
Like you need to hone your jokes.

444
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:14,800
Up your game.

445
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,680
I know every time I went and visited New York, even when I went and hung out with you up

446
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:24,320
there or other people I knew, you know, yeah, you would, I'd be out working the road or

447
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,200
something and I'd be like, Oh, I got my shit together.

448
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:32,280
And then you go to New York and go to a club and see somebody go up there and just destroy

449
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,760
for 20 minutes and nobody's ever heard of them.

450
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:35,760
Never, ever.

451
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:36,760
You know what I mean?

452
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,960
I mean, they might be known sort of locally in the club, that club scene.

453
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,080
But as far as I'm like, I've never heard of Mike so and so.

454
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,080
Yeah.

455
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,280
They're absolutely some of the funniest people you ever seen.

456
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,280
You're like, well, fuck.

457
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,280
All right.

458
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,720
I'm going to start over again with what I'm doing.

459
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,720
Yeah.

460
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:52,720
And it's crazy.

461
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:53,720
Like you think about the people that I did.

462
00:20:53,720 --> 00:21:00,840
We used to do shows with like Hannibal Burris and Eric Andre and those guys were always

463
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,360
around and who else?

464
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:05,440
There's so many good comics.

465
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,800
Amy Schumer was always around when I was there.

466
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:14,120
And is to think of the money that those people have made and they were not any better than

467
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:15,120
anybody else.

468
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:16,120
You know what I mean?

469
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:25,120
I mean, everybody was so good that it's crazy to think of how these people just found a

470
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:26,680
way to get through.

471
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,680
But it's work.

472
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,600
Some people just work harder than others.

473
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,880
I think some people work harder.

474
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,040
I think they also sometimes their work is recognized more.

475
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,600
And I'm not even necessarily saying that it's like an aesthetic thing, but I feel like maybe

476
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,880
their work just rings a little more.

477
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:42,880
Maybe.

478
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,840
But I think it's funny when you give someone the chance.

479
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:53,160
Once someone has a little confidence, wow, they're a joke.

480
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,560
I know my best jokes are when I'm on a hot streak or something like that.

481
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,000
And then I'm writing way more and then those are my better jokes.

482
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,240
I would say it's, I feel like different stages of my life and it feels like I was in different

483
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,480
places in my head.

484
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,640
And I don't really think about my time in the States.

485
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,840
A lot of the times I forget I lived there until almost like I'm talking to an American

486
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,640
and then I'm like, oh yeah, I lived there for five years.

487
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:24,120
I kind of forgot that there was my lost years.

488
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:25,600
You were off on a journey.

489
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,600
I was discovering myself.

490
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:34,560
I was a very immature 30 year old living in the States is what I was.

491
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,880
Because I came from a small town.

492
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,400
I was very sheltered by my family.

493
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,800
I was a very, yeah, I always.

494
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,840
Well it seems to me for what you're saying, and I would agree with it there, like I was

495
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,640
saying like certain things in your life.

496
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,360
Like I remember where I like when I met you, I remember where I was living at the time.

497
00:22:53,360 --> 00:23:02,460
So what that does is it kind of triggers back to me is where I remember mentalities and

498
00:23:02,460 --> 00:23:06,920
mental states and financial situations and everything else in life that was sort of bothering

499
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,760
me or just whatever it was.

500
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,360
And I feel like that has such an influence on me.

501
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:20,760
And I feel like every time I've gone somewhere, lived someplace that when I really, the jokes

502
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:26,780
I wrote were reflective of the time that I was in and the place I was in life.

503
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:30,440
So I was just wondering if you felt like it was maybe a difference as opposed to like,

504
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,120
for instance, like how was Toronto?

505
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:33,880
Like you're now you're talking about New York City.

506
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Now you're in Toronto, which is basically that kind of like the New York City of Canada.

507
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,520
Big media.

508
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,280
Don't tell Canadians that they'll be upset.

509
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,280
No they won't.

510
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,280
No, I wouldn't.

511
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,440
I would never say that to a self-respecting Torontoan.

512
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:54,480
I might say to a kid from Nova Scotia, a small town, Nova Scotia, but who's seen both and

513
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,320
can relate to how they vary.

514
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,320
I love Toronto though.

515
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,320
It's a great town.

516
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,600
Now I do not know the comedy scene that well.

517
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,880
I only went there one time.

518
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,880
I don't either.

519
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,880
I don't know about that.

520
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:04,880
I don't know about that.

521
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,880
I don't know about that.

522
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:06,880
Yeah.

523
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:07,880
Cause it's weird.

524
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,520
Like when I first started, I was so into the comedy scene cause I was young and I was starting

525
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:20,160
and I loved it and my friends were all, you know, just so driven and we all wrote together

526
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,000
and we loved, supported each other.

527
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000
And now it's a little different.

528
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,640
Now it's like I come back, I'm older.

529
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,240
I don't go out to any mics or anything like that.

530
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,840
I rarely get the book to do shows in Toronto.

531
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,720
I have my friends that I started with, but those are the people I still talk to.

532
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,920
But I, yeah, I'm rarely in the scene.

533
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,520
I might, I go to the one comedy club that I worked at, there are the two comedy clubs

534
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:52,200
that I work at and I usually just do my show and get out and it's different being older.

535
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,360
You know, you're not sticking around, hanging out with all the kids.

536
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:57,360
They're going to another show that starts at midnight.

537
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:01,120
You're like, Oh no, I'll be long asleep by midnight.

538
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:05,160
Even where I live now, sometimes, I mean, there's, there's almost an open mic every

539
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,160
night of the week.

540
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,360
Now some are better than others, but it's funny how sometimes there's ones, there's

541
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:10,360
nights where I can do two.

542
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:14,400
So it's like a seven o'clock show and then you go six blocks away and there's another

543
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,760
show or the younger comics like, Hey, we're going to go get something to eat or we're

544
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,400
going to go, you know, and I don't drink and they know that, but they're like, Oh, we're

545
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,880
going to get some, hell no, man.

546
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:23,880
I'm going home.

547
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:24,880
Yeah.

548
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,200
But back when you were young, you would have been all over that.

549
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,920
You're like, yeah, let's go, let's go.

550
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,920
Let's do stuff.

551
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,560
I can't tell you how many times I had Chinese food at three in the morning, just sitting

552
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:39,320
around with a bunch of comics drinking and talking and about comedy and whatever.

553
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:45,120
And that just doesn't, I mean, I have my friends, we, I'm not going to say we don't go out and

554
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:46,640
still hang out and talk about comedy.

555
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,560
I mean, I did it just before I moved to or went to London, a bunch of months were hanging

556
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,480
out, but it's yeah, it's just kind of different now.

557
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,320
I'm not going to those mics and when I'm working out material, I'm working it out at a comedy

558
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,320
club.

559
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Right.

560
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,640
You know, not like the old days where you write a joke and then you're, you're at 10

561
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,320
open mics that week, just trying to hone that one joke.

562
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,320
Right.

563
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,160
Now it's like, okay, well, I'm going to try it on the Tuesday night and see if it works.

564
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,240
And then if it works, I'll try to bring it back out on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

565
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,360
And then by the end of that week, you have a joke.

566
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:22,040
But yeah, I don't know.

567
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,200
Cause it's just weird.

568
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,120
I think like you mature and you age and whatever.

569
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:32,880
Like I find that now most of my jokes are less jokey and more story about what's going

570
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,880
on in my life.

571
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:39,960
And we were talking before we started recording about that kind of a bad week for me.

572
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:47,000
And I sat down and I wrote what turned out to be a 1700 word story about it the other

573
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
day.

574
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,480
And, and in my head, I'm like, okay, well tomorrow I'm sitting down and I'm getting

575
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:58,680
that cut in half and I'm adding at least 10 punch lines to it.

576
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,360
And then maybe I'll go try it at a comedy club on Tuesday night and see if it's anything.

577
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:05,280
And then that's kind of my life now.

578
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,560
It's kind of coming from the shit that's happening.

579
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,440
And a lot of the time it's not the good shit, you know, it's like skin cancer.

580
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,440
Right.

581
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,360
I got like an eight minute bit about skin cancer and I got, you know, and it's, I'm

582
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:26,240
a lot less jokey jokey look at my, oh, my roommate has a Yoda poster on his door.

583
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:32,160
Like it's not, it's not in like useless stuff like that anymore.

584
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,400
I, I, I, what I would say is, uh, you know, from going back and watching some of your

585
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:41,200
stuff and having known you for so long, I see the evolution in your, in your comedy

586
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,200
and your jokes.

587
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,320
So for instance, um, one of my favorite jokes is a sleep country.

588
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,320
Right.

589
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,320
I love.

590
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,320
Yeah, yeah.

591
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,800
You haven't done that in a very long time.

592
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:51,800
I get it.

593
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:52,800
Yeah.

594
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,800
But it's about how you are not a good morning person and you get, uh, woken up with a guy

595
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,720
trying to deliver a bed and the side of the truck says sleep country.

596
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,080
It's like a sleep country woke me up.

597
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:10,320
But then I, but then I go and I listened to, yeah, throbbing PB and J. Right.

598
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,320
Right.

599
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,200
And I listened and I can hear the differences in the joke, especially, you know, when you

600
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,120
talk about the skin cancer and the way you sort of put more of yourself, you know, because

601
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:25,320
when you start out doing jokes, you're like, ah, this is kind of funny.

602
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,320
Haha.

603
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,960
But then you start putting yourself sort of more, sort of more into it.

604
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,720
Um, like you'll, you'll sit down and be very technical about it.

605
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,840
Sometimes sometimes, sometimes, but sometimes it's a story.

606
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,120
It's more sitting down and the finger.

607
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,740
That's what we've taught in university.

608
00:28:42,740 --> 00:28:43,740
My business degree.

609
00:28:43,740 --> 00:28:44,740
Well, yeah.

610
00:28:44,740 --> 00:28:48,840
Well, look, I was the laziest person in university.

611
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:54,120
I finished 97th out of a class, 107 or something like that.

612
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,480
Don't think I was studious or anything like that.

613
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,720
Um, I think of it as a story.

614
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,480
I sit down and I write and I try to figure it out.

615
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:07,160
But a lot of the times it's usually something that happened to me and then it's in my head

616
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,560
forever.

617
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,480
And then all of a sudden I'll think of, I don't know why I'll just be walking down the

618
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,080
street and all of a sudden I have a punchline for that story that happened to me eight years

619
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,340
prior and I don't know why.

620
00:29:17,340 --> 00:29:25,280
Like literally this week I was writing a script for something and I put a story in that I

621
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:30,040
happened to me when I was still dating a single when I was on Tinder and the story about how

622
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:35,180
I was on Tinder in a public washroom, just sitting on the toilet going through Tinder

623
00:29:35,180 --> 00:29:40,840
and I dropped my phone and it literally slid to the next stall right between the guy's

624
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,800
feet and literally the next guy sitting there and I looked down and my phone is facing up

625
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:54,480
to him on Tinder and it was just this weird, which I've never really had a punchline for,

626
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,040
but then I'm just sitting there writing this other thing and I went, Oh, and then in my

627
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,160
head I was like, just suddenly and now I have a new joke to try out for some reason.

628
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,800
I don't know why something else jogged that one memory.

629
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,440
All that happened was a guy just sort of slid it back to me with his foot.

630
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,080
I was like, Hey, what do you think of her?

631
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,080
It's just a weird situation.

632
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,880
Well, tell me what you think.

633
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,880
I know you're not busy.

634
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:15,880
What are you doing?

635
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:16,880
Yeah.

636
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,880
What do you, what is it?

637
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:18,880
What do you think?

638
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:19,880
No?

639
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:20,880
Yes.

640
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,880
Left, right?

641
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:22,880
What are we doing?

642
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:23,880
Yeah, that's exactly it.

643
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,840
Yeah, it's kind of funny, but now that I'm sitting here writing a story that I know I'm

644
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,560
going to sit down tomorrow and just try to pound out some jokes into it.

645
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:38,120
Like I want to, I want it by Tuesday night that I want to be able to take it to the stage

646
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,920
and go, I'm going to fill this whole 10 minute set with this one story and I want to see

647
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,920
what I can get out of it.

648
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,600
Cause I'm starting to realize, you know what, the easiest way to fill a 45 minute set is

649
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,520
with just a few stories.

650
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,960
Like they go a long way as opposed to the old days where I would literally do a 45 minute

651
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,800
set and I would have to remember 60 to 70 jokes.

652
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,080
I just can't do that anymore.

653
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:05,240
That's, I don't know about you, but trying to remember six, I remember having set lists

654
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,360
with like 73 jokes on them and going, how am I going to remember this?

655
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,280
Like it was insane.

656
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,720
And now I'm like, well, wouldn't it be better if you had like six stories and that's it.

657
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,720
45 minutes all done by-

658
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,800
Don't you find yourself having to remember all the parts of the subtle nuances and the

659
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,640
punchlines of the story themselves kind of get to be, because that's what I find.

660
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:26,640
Yeah.

661
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:27,640
Yeah.

662
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,640
Yeah, for sure.

663
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:35,440
I mean, I kind of always felt this like in school with history, like it was so easy to

664
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,960
remember so much of history when you just treat it as a story.

665
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:44,680
And I think once you make it a story, then your brain is, it just, and then this happened

666
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,160
and then this happened and then this happened.

667
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:52,640
And this, I will say that like the skin cancer bit that we keep referencing, there's three

668
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,760
jokes that go with it afterwards.

669
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,320
And I'll tell the body of the first story and then I'm like, what are the other three?

670
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:05,160
I have no idea what the other, and I'll be saying on stage going, I know I have three

671
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,640
more jokes about this, but I can't tell you what they are.

672
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,160
But that story is just, you're on autopilot once you start telling a story.

673
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:17,800
I think that's, you know, our whole childhood is our parents telling us stories and you

674
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,000
remember them, you know?

675
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,480
I know that like, for instance, I'll go to do a joke.

676
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,520
I have this new, new bit about people who dress up in costumes, right?

677
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,040
And how some people judge other people for being in these costumes and what's acceptable

678
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,480
and what's not.

679
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,880
And I keep having this one story because I haven't told the joke a million times.

680
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,160
You have to get it ingrained into your system.

681
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,960
And I will literally sit there the last three times I've done it and I have this awesome

682
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,680
tagline to it.

683
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,200
And every time I get done with my set, I'll go back and listen to it because I always

684
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,680
record on my phone.

685
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,680
I leave the fucking tagline out.

686
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,840
I'm like, why did I not get a good joke at this?

687
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,120
Laugh at this one part of the joke.

688
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,120
Oh wait, dummy.

689
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,760
You didn't put your, you didn't put your thing in there.

690
00:32:58,760 --> 00:32:59,760
Yeah.

691
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,840
That's, you know, you tend to get bigger laughs when you use the joke.

692
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:09,040
But I've never been a storyteller and you have evolved into more of that sort of a storyteller.

693
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:14,840
I think, especially with Robin PB and Jay, which I think it's just good, man.

694
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:15,840
It's funny.

695
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,360
I listened to it and I can literally just see you telling the story.

696
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,960
I especially, and I don't want to give the joke away because I want people to listen

697
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,840
to it wherever it's available, which is, um, yeah.

698
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:25,840
It's not out there everywhere.

699
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:26,840
I forgot where I listened to it.

700
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:27,840
It wasn't YouTube.

701
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,840
It was, um, was it, was it Apple music?

702
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,880
Maybe could be Spotify.

703
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,600
Yeah, it was one of those.

704
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,960
But the story about how you got the name for the album, which was not the name, how you

705
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,520
got the name for the album, but what reference it is, what you call the album, which is the

706
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,840
throbbing PB and J, which is about, about your mom's books.

707
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:49,840
Yeah.

708
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,840
It's not a dirty joke at all.

709
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:51,840
Really.

710
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:52,840
It's yeah.

711
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,120
The thing is the person who did the artwork for the album, I clearly had never heard the

712
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,120
joke.

713
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:03,000
So he has this, the artwork is a peanut butter and jam sandwich that is very veiny.

714
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,000
You just went with it?

715
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Fuck it.

716
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Fuck it.

717
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Who cares?

718
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Yeah.

719
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Yeah.

720
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Yeah.

721
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Yeah.

722
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,000
It's not dirty at all.

723
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,440
It's kind of an older joke that just kind of evolved and that's all it is.

724
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,440
It's kind of weird.

725
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,680
It's kind of, unless I find an old set list and then a lot of times I'll see an old set

726
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,880
list and I'm like, I wonder what the hell that means.

727
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,600
Like I have no idea what half of those names of jokes are.

728
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,560
Cause I just don't remember anything.

729
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,720
And I wish I recorded everything.

730
00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:39,200
Cause I'm always seems like I have no new material and that I have this wealth of jokes

731
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:44,720
that have, haven't used in 10 years and I couldn't even begin to tell you what I, this

732
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:46,120
actually happened just a few weeks ago.

733
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,960
I started to think about this joke that I started, I told way back in the day and I

734
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,480
was like, I wonder what the hell the punchline was.

735
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:57,240
Like I, and that's kind of, it's hard to repurpose something when you can't even remember the

736
00:34:57,240 --> 00:34:59,640
punchline, but I don't know.

737
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:05,120
Yeah, no, I, yeah, my memory's not great and I don't, I just, everything once it's out

738
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,120
of my head.

739
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:11,840
I've definitely had some times lately where I've come across an old set list and I remember,

740
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:17,720
I remember the main gist of the joke, but like I was saying before, like with the tagline,

741
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:21,600
it's like, you're like, ah, I can't remember it.

742
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,040
What about, that was the other joke I was, I'm laughing about it still.

743
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,320
You're talking about being at work, right?

744
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:34,680
And how the company you're working for are hiring mentally challenged people, right?

745
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,080
This goes back to the whole where they, you know, and then you're sitting there at work

746
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:44,360
and you're like, oh, am I mentally challenged?

747
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,960
I was literally, that was probably one of the jokes that I, well, when I first saw you,

748
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,400
I was like, man, I got to hang out with this dude.

749
00:35:51,400 --> 00:36:00,120
I got to see what this mentally challenged person has going on.

750
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,160
All right, Darrell.

751
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,160
So here's what we're going to do.

752
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,160
We're going to take a little break.

753
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,160
Okay.

754
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,560
And then we're going to come back and we're going to, we're going to talk to you some

755
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,560
more.

756
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:09,560
All right.

757
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,840
So everybody stick around more episode 67 of John D podcast with Darrell Purvis after

758
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:20,160
this.

759
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,200
What I quit booze for good.

760
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,200
One thing I learned was to always keep your palette entertained.

761
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,280
And one of my new favorite ways to make it happen is blend jet two, blend jet two is

762
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,220
portable so you can blend up a smoothie at work, a protein shake at the gym, or even

763
00:36:32,220 --> 00:36:34,520
an NA margarita on the beach.

764
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,920
It's small enough to fit in a cup holder, but powerful enough to blast through tough

765
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,840
ingredients like ice and frozen fruit with ease.

766
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,400
Blend jet two is whisper quiet so you can make your morning smoothie without waking

767
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,360
up the whole house.

768
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:52,400
Ask for 15 plus blends and recharges quickly via USB C. Best of all, blend jet two cleans

769
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,400
itself.

770
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,000
Just blend water with a drop of soap and you're good to go.

771
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,120
With over 30 plus colors and patterns to choose from, there's a blend jet two to compliment

772
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,880

And welcome back to part two of episode 67 of John D podcast with my very special guest

785
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,040
today, Mr. Darryll Purvis.

786
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,120
I should say this evening, Darryll, you brought up an interesting note.

787
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,480
I didn't even think about it.

788
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,160
The last time the Leafs won the cup was in 1967.

789
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,120
And then thanks for having me on.

790
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,120
I did.

791
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,120
That was not seven.

792
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,680
As I was saying during the break, you know, when the band was playing, what I was saying

793
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,680
was right.

794
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:10,500
I actually know that was probably a blend jet commercial and maybe a little bit of music.

795
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:15,040
But I was saying it was going to be 66, but then we had, which is Lemieux's number.

796
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,920
But anyways, I'm sorry, buddy.

797
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,720
It wasn't, it wasn't on purpose.

798
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:22,240
It just comes up a lot somehow in life.

799
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:23,720
Yeah, I hear you, man.

800
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:24,720
No, no worries.

801
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:26,960
I just thought it was funny when I mentioned that.

802
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:27,960
All right.

803
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,960
So let's, let's go back to, so a couple of things I want to talk to you more about earlier

804
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,320
on in your career.

805
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,440
When you were first starting out, did you find like, what are the challenges you felt

806
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:40,160
that you had earlier early in your career that, you know, things you had to learn, unlearn,

807
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,720
ways you had to be like with your comedy?

808
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:48,520
And do you, do you have any lessons that you learned then that you still think now?

809
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:54,280
I learned that I finished your set.

810
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,280
Yeah.

811
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,360
I think no matter how bad it's going, get to the end of it.

812
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:05,640
I had the worst set in England this trip around and I had to do 20 to 25.

813
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,960
God did they hate me.

814
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:12,440
From the get go, as soon as I stood on stage and set up from Canada, I saw a bunch of guys

815
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:16,520
cross their arms and I was like, Oh, here we go.

816
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,360
That's called a defensive posture is what that's called.

817
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:20,360
Yeah.

818
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:21,360
Yeah.

819
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,040
And you could tell they were trying not to laugh.

820
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:27,880
And it was just one of those things where you're like, I, I could see the MC coming

821
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:28,880
to get me.

822
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:29,880
It was going so bad.

823
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,960
It was probably the worst I've had in 10, 15 years.

824
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,600
It was just like, they did not want to laugh.

825
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,640
And then the MC came, I'm like, no, I'm going to finish my time.

826
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,640
I, cause we're talking, it was a small crowd and time before the show.

827
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,600
And he's like, look, if we just get close to our time, then that's all I care about.

828
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:46,600
And I'm like, mm hmm.

829
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,600
Then I'm up there dying.

830
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:48,600
I'm like, you know what I'm going to do?

831
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,920
I'm going to take this time to maybe try a couple of the new ones.

832
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:58,200
So that stuff I've never done in the UK before to see if this stuff can translate over here.

833
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,320
And that's the number one thing is just do your time.

834
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,600
That's it, sir.

835
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,320
Even if you're dying, do your time.

836
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,240
You know, that's one of the things I get younger comics.

837
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:11,440
They'll talk to me when I think that I tell them always stick the landing is what I tell

838
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:12,440
them.

839
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,440
Like, you know, you're doing your routine.

840
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,600
It's like, like gymnastics, you know, your flip, do boom, whatever.

841
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,800
And whether those people are listening, they're talking, whatever, do your routine, stick

842
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,760
the landing.

843
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,560
And that's a, yeah, that's, that's good advice.

844
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:26,560
That's good.

845
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:27,560
I'd say the same thing.

846
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:28,560
I concur.

847
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:33,080
It's hardly, I find it hard to give advice about comedy because everybody's different.

848
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,320
Everybody writes differently.

849
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,880
Everybody has their own way of doing things.

850
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,880
And there's no right way.

851
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,600
You were just in the UK.

852
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:45,760
But what do you what is your spin or your thoughts on things that do transfer and don't

853
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,920
transfer between sort of the two things between the two, the two countries, the three countries,

854
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,840
really, the states, Canada, there's a little difference there.

855
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,400
But a big difference with going to England.

856
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,840
What do you what's your spin on that?

857
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,680
What do you what do you think?

858
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:04,720
I think most I mean, unless you're doing very specific to your country, most things work

859
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:10,080
over there because they have a lot of American television and a strange amount of Canadian

860
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,080
television.

861
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,640
I'm always surprised when I'm over there seeing a Canadian TV show.

862
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,160
I'm like, seriously, you guys have so much talent.

863
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,480
Why would you watch a Canadian television over here?

864
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:19,480
Right.

865
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,360
Yeah, I think it's like, I think that's what people think is going to be really different,

866
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,440
but it's really not.

867
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,120
It's because they know everything about you guys.

868
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,120
Right.

869
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,640
So it's a flat out USA.

870
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:30,640
What's that USA network?

871
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:31,640
Is that what it's called?

872
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:32,640
Well, there is.

873
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:33,640
Yeah, there would.

874
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:34,640
That's one of their networks.

875
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:35,640
That's one of their channels is the USA network.

876
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:36,640
They're getting all the worst television.

877
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:37,640
Jesus.

878
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:38,640
Yeah.

879
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,640
They're watching Full House over there still.

880
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:41,640
Are they really?

881
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,640
Not even the reunion one.

882
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,080
The fucking original.

883
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,080
I know.

884
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,080
Is that is that on US?

885
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,080
The US?

886
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,080
I don't know.

887
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,080
The USA network.

888
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,080
Yeah, but there is a USA network.

889
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,080
Yeah.

890
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,560
But I don't know what they do over there.

891
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,880
I know they do have like, for instance, I had a friend of mine who was had lived over

892
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:02,320
here originally from the UK, lived over here for a long time, became a caps fan and was,

893
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,640
you know, I was emailing him one time and I was like, man, I don't have any cable.

894
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,560
I'm trying to watch some of these some of these playoff games.

895
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,240
And he was like, oh, just go on this website.

896
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:14,120
But he's like, this is how I watch the games in the UK now.

897
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,720
It's like, no shit.

898
00:42:15,720 --> 00:42:18,360
But it was all it was all it was all British stuff.

899
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,640
It was British coverage of North American sports.

900
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,680
Oh, like actual British announcers for hockey.

901
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,920
Well, no, but they would just take the feed.

902
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,760
But it was on like British like their British ESPN.

903
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:30,760
Yeah, Sky.

904
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:31,760
Sky.

905
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:32,760
Sky.

906
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,120
That's the one I talked to you a couple of months ago.

907
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,320
And you were talking about you were getting ready to go over there and you were like,

908
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:39,320
yeah, you know, I like it.

909
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,320
I do this.

910
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:41,320
I do that.

911
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,320
And you were talking about the comedy and everything.

912
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,160
But what do you think about the actual lifestyle?

913
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,640
Because you're you're actually thinking about going over there and living.

914
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:47,640
Is that correct?

915
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:48,640
Yeah, 100 percent.

916
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:49,640
I was a fan.

917
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,880
I don't know if I really enjoy it.

918
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,920
I just think it's no, not what we grew up with.

919
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,760
And I really maybe I'm tired of living over here.

920
00:42:58,760 --> 00:42:59,760
Right.

921
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,760
I just don't want to be in this anymore.

922
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:02,760
Yeah.

923
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:03,760
You know what?

924
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,600
Why not experience the world differently?

925
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,840
Different chocolates, stuff, different candies.

926
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:10,840
Why not crisps?

927
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:11,840
They call chips crisps.

928
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:12,840
Isn't that crazy?

929
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:13,840
It is weird.

930
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,840
I know when I was over there, I remember I mean, I went there when I was younger.

931
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,040
It's been a very long time.

932
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,640
And yeah, that's the flats set of apartments.

933
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:24,640
Yeah.

934
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,360
Stuff like lifts instead of elevators, which makes perfect sense.

935
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:28,360
It lifts you up.

936
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,720
Oh, yeah, I don't know.

937
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:31,800
I just I enjoy it over there.

938
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:32,800
It's just kind of different.

939
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:38,000
You know, my wife and I talk about going to different places, you know, as we get older,

940
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,440
maybe retire into Portugal or Spain or something like that.

941
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,000
We've seen all of Canada.

942
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,440
We've seen most of the states.

943
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:48,880
What's left for us over here?

944
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:49,880
You know what?

945
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,360
I think if I have a different world, live in different.

946
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:52,560
Do you think you could do that, though?

947
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,120
You could just go live in a completely different culture just for like pretty much essentially

948
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,240
what would be the rest of your life.

949
00:43:58,240 --> 00:43:59,240
But why?

950
00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:00,240
Why not?

951
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:01,240
What's the difference?

952
00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:02,240
You can still watch everything you want.

953
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:03,240
You can watch every hockey game.

954
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:05,800
Like you just said, you just go to the right.

955
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,400
Whatever I mean, it's all there on the Internet.

956
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,280
You can still talk to your friends every day.

957
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,280
You can still.

958
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:13,280
I miss Covid.

959
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,280
I love that.

960
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:15,280
I love being in isolation.

961
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:21,960
I got to admit, man, I except for the fact that I almost drank myself to death during

962
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:22,960
the first half of it.

963
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,000
And then I sort of came out of it at about a last third of it, I guess, when people were

964
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,840
really kind of locked down.

965
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,040
But other than that, I kind of liked it.

966
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,720
I liked it being like, I like the fact that people were going, no, we want you to stay

967
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:34,720
home.

968
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:36,240
And I'm going, yeah, I can do that.

969
00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:37,240
Yeah, that was.

970
00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:38,240
Don't leave your house.

971
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:40,040
OK, I can do that.

972
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,560
We play games with friends and family every Friday and Saturday night.

973
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,560
And it was wonderful.

974
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:46,560
Yeah.

975
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:47,560
What?

976
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:48,560
Anyway, so think of it that way.

977
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,360
You're kind of like, even though maybe you don't speak the language, you still have everything

978
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:53,360
you need.

979
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:54,360
Right.

980
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:55,360
You still got your friends, right?

981
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,360
Still got friends.

982
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,360
Yeah.

983
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,560
And then you got a full house and you got all the.

984
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:01,560
Yeah.

985
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:02,560
Yeah.

986
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:03,560
You got Seinfeld.

987
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:04,560
Yeah.

988
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:05,560
No, I always say the Internet is such a blessing and a curse.

989
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,960
And the way it works nowadays, of course, is you could do almost anything with it.

990
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,280
I mean, you could find anything you want, any bit of information, you can find any bit

991
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,400
of video or anything like that.

992
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:15,400
Yeah.

993
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:16,400
Yeah.

994
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:17,400
Where did you go in the UK?

995
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:18,400
Because you know what?

996
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,400
When you were over there, I noticed I had some some listens in different parts.

997
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:22,400
Did you go to Scunthorpe?

998
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:23,400
No.

999
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:24,400
OK.

1000
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,400
Wherever Scunthorpe is.

1001
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,280
It's a it's a it's a getting off top top.

1002
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:30,280
Which country is it?

1003
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,280
It's in the UK.

1004
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,520
It's in it's in England, I believe.

1005
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:33,520
Which country?

1006
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:34,520
Yeah.

1007
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:35,520
So but Scunthorpe.

1008
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,280
But I actually did a this one of my favorite things to do.

1009
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,640
This is a funny side note.

1010
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,400
Usually I will find places where my podcast gets listened to.

1011
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,800
So people out there listening who might be in other countries, especially if I find that

1012
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,360
interesting town, I'll go to Google Maps and I will literally just do the Google map like

1013
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,080
the street walk and I'll just take a tour of all these different these little towns

1014
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,080
of Scunthorpe.

1015
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,080
Scunthorpe.

1016
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,080
Scunthorpe.

1017
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,480
I'm sorry, I'm saying it wrong.

1018
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:01,480
You know what?

1019
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:02,480
You know what I know?

1020
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:03,480
Do you like it?

1021
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,360
This is funny because this ties back into what what you were saying.

1022
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:09,560
Man, they had dominoes, they had subway, they had they had a KFC.

1023
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:14,880
It's it's a running joke between my wife and I about dominoes because we everywhere we

1024
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:15,880
go Aruba.

1025
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:16,880
Hey dominoes.

1026
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,120
Who was Northlake?

1027
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,840
I guess that's I guess you go to you know, I guess you go to UK and.

1028
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,320
Oh, it's not far from Manchester.

1029
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:26,320
Not far from.

1030
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:27,320
Oh, yeah.

1031
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:28,320
OK.

1032
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:29,320
So you're looking it up.

1033
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:30,320
Yeah, I did.

1034
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:31,320
I did a whole street.

1035
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,280
So whoever listened to me in Schoonthorpe or however you would however you say it, they

1036
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,320
probably have the heart of P on the end either.

1037
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:43,240
But whoever's I did do a Google Google map street walk of downtown Schoonthorpe.

1038
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:44,240
And I got to tell you, it's a nice.

1039
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:45,240
It's a nice town.

1040
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:46,240
I want to see something.

1041
00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:49,240
It's a very nice town.

1042
00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:50,240
I don't know.

1043
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:51,840
I'm not saying everybody would say that.

1044
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,640
But you know, you know, it is when you live someplace, you know, like this place.

1045
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,360
Yeah, that's because you're there all the time.

1046
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:57,360
I think is probably the biggest.

1047
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,400
I was really close to Schoonthorpe.

1048
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,680
There's a chance I went through that on the bus back to London.

1049
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,680
Or you probably weren't listening to the show.

1050
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:09,080
You know, doesn't look like the bus would have gone through Schoonthorpe, but not far

1051
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,080
from it.

1052
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:17,320
That's the show in York, which is one of those places where I talk about.

1053
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:23,960
I can't believe how drunk and I, I, I, this was what could have been the best video ever.

1054
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:25,720
Cause I was it got to York.

1055
00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:26,720
My show was at eight.

1056
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:31,280
I got there at seven and nothing to do but walk around.

1057
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:37,240
And I came across this street performer playing music and he was just surrounded by a bunch

1058
00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:39,480
of hammered people at seven o'clock.

1059
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:44,000
Just as they would say up there, leathered, just leathered, they would say.

1060
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Were they celebrating anything?

1061
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,000
Singing, singing along with this street performers, music and everything.

1062
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,640
So I videoed it like a, cause it was seven o'clock.

1063
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,080
It's still bright as can be out there.

1064
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,080
Just so drunk.

1065
00:47:56,080 --> 00:48:00,840
And then I went and did the show and I came out of that show at like 10, 30 or 11, the

1066
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,040
same street performers.

1067
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,280
He's still there.

1068
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:05,280
Still there.

1069
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,960
But now there's only like four or five people and it's two women.

1070
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,960
And then I saw one of them just kind of look around and turn and then just hammered the

1071
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:19,240
other wolf through the biggest punch.

1072
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,720
Like, and I was like, Oh, you shouldn't be recording this.

1073
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:27,000
Cause that would have been like the difference between York and London and the UK between

1074
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,760
seven PM and 10 30 it's just now two women are on the ground beating the shit out of

1075
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:32,760
each other.

1076
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,960
I was like, that's well, Scunthorpe, if you're listening to this, you'll know all about York

1077
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,520
because apparently that's where a lot of people in that area go to party.

1078
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,600
Oh, well, there you go.

1079
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,600
I don't know.

1080
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:43,600
I just thought it was funny.

1081
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,040
I just, I was like, why am I getting so many listens in the UK?

1082
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,360
Well, Darrell's in the UK.

1083
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,440
Maybe maybe he's just, maybe he just turns it on for a second.

1084
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,640
So I get to listen and then he leaves and he doesn't listen.

1085
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,360
I don't even do that with my own podcast.

1086
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:56,360
Right.

1087
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:57,360
Which hold on a second.

1088
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,240
We haven't, we haven't talked about your podcast.

1089
00:49:01,240 --> 00:49:04,360
I've been, I feel like we've been all over the map here on this, on this interview, but

1090
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,720
it's been just so much fun.

1091
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:10,240
It's just like kind of like catching up, but you have your own podcast that you are on.

1092
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:12,200
It's a, where, where's the beer cart, right?

1093
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,200
Where the, yeah.

1094
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,760
Or a bar cart, bar cart, bar cart.

1095
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,200
We don't always just drink beer.

1096
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,200
Oh, true.

1097
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,000
They do have, we say beer cart, we say bar cart.

1098
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,760
And so you're talking to where's the bar cart, but it's officially where's the bar cart.

1099
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,360
And that is you are on there with two of your buddies.

1100
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:26,880
You want, go ahead and tell us about it.

1101
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,920
I've listened to three of us now.

1102
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:34,520
Three very funny, Monty Scott, very funny comedian, Nick Turi, very funny comedian,

1103
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,240
and Gina Phillips, very funny comedian slash actor.

1104
00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:42,160
But yeah, we just talk about golf and we, we used to be more serious where we interviewed

1105
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:47,800
people, but now in moments, it's just us just yapping and we're pretty stupid.

1106
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,880
What, what do you find yourself usually talking about?

1107
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,200
Like what do you, usually nothing to do with golf.

1108
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:55,520
I'm not going to lie.

1109
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,880
It usually goes off in some terrible, just ridiculous.

1110
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:03,800
Have you ever get the chance to work with Monty Scott or watch his comedy or listen

1111
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:04,800
to his comedy?

1112
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,320
He can go off of some, some directions that you're not expecting.

1113
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,600
Let's just put it that way.

1114
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,320
And so, yeah, I don't know.

1115
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,960
We try to keep it on golf, but it never works out that way.

1116
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:16,960
It's for comedians.

1117
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,400
What chances do you have to stay on top of it?

1118
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:20,400
Right.

1119
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,840
Well, I mean, you know, I do have some listeners out there that do play golf and some of them

1120
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:24,840
are comedies.

1121
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:29,720
Oh, if we get a listener for Schoonthorpe, I know that would be something that would

1122
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:30,720
be funny.

1123
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:32,080
Watch me get an email from Scunthorpe.

1124
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,080
That'd be great.

1125
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,320
You can email the show, jonndpodcom at gmail.com.

1126
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,160
If you want, you can, that's the official, official email.

1127
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:39,160
You can do that.

1128
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,680
If you Schoonthorpe, if you're out there, I want to know who you are and how you know

1129
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,400
about me.

1130
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:46,400
That's so funny.

1131
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:47,400
I just, I don't know.

1132
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,360
I was like, I wonder if you went Schoonthorpe, Darrell, I almost wanted to message you, but

1133
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,400
it was about two o'clock in the morning, your time.

1134
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,200
And when you were in the UK, so I was just kind of the next morning.

1135
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,200
It's not that bad.

1136
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:57,200
Yeah, I don't know.

1137
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:58,760
I don't know how you were.

1138
00:50:58,760 --> 00:50:59,840
My ring has turned off.

1139
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,000
I don't see anything in it all night.

1140
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Right.

1141
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:08,400
I want to go back real quick because I want to talk about a little bit about your family.

1142
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,640
So you came from a large family in a small town.

1143
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,920
But one of the things and it's another great joke because I love when you talk about your

1144
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,720
family, talk about your parents.

1145
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:24,200
One of the jokes that you have is when you talk about your mom being like overly dramatic.

1146
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,200
Right.

1147
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,520
And you say, you tell her, she says, you know, when's dinner?

1148
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,360
And she said, dinner, I could be dead by dinner.

1149
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,840
I was like, well, then you better get to cooking.

1150
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:33,840
Yeah.

1151
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,480
What kind of.

1152
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,240
Which is actually not even my mother that that was.

1153
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:45,200
And this is what my mother, she's no longer with us, thankfully.

1154
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:51,880
But that was an ex-girlfriend's mother who said that to her.

1155
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,040
And then I wrote a joke about it.

1156
00:51:54,040 --> 00:52:00,000
And my mother got angry for making fun of her, but it wasn't about her.

1157
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,680
Some girl I dated for like three months.

1158
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,480
It was her mom that said it, not me, not my mom.

1159
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,200
But my mom got very upset that.

1160
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:09,200
You wrote a joke about something.

1161
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,080
That I told this joke about her.

1162
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,200
And I was like, it's not even you.

1163
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,480
I don't understand.

1164
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,480
I can see how she could, you know, she could maybe misconstrue, right?

1165
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:20,480
You know, how would you.

1166
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:21,480
Yeah.

1167
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:22,480
Well, my mom was a weird woman.

1168
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:23,480
I hear you.

1169
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:24,480
Let's not get too deep into that.

1170
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,480
No, no, I won't.

1171
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:26,480
I won't.

1172
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,760
I just think it's, I just thought it was a great joke.

1173
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,920
And just one of those ones where there was a little bit of truth in it.

1174
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,760
I didn't know it was somebody else's mom, but you said it to somebody's mom, which I

1175
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:36,760
think is one of the funniest.

1176
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:37,760
Then you should get to cooking.

1177
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,200
That's the way it works.

1178
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:45,320
But everybody in your family is a D and P, right?

1179
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,800
D. So it's all.

1180
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,160
And the great joke is where your mom says, oh, that happened by coincidence.

1181
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,360
Is that a true story?

1182
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:55,360
Yeah.

1183
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:56,360
I think I've ever asked you that.

1184
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:57,360
Yeah, it's a true story.

1185
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,320
So the whole joke is that my family starts with D because I don't tell this joke very

1186
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:02,320
often.

1187
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:03,320
It's a name.

1188
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:07,600
I'm a Debbie, Debbie, Donna, Deanna, David, Darian, Douglas, and me, Darryl.

1189
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,560
And I asked mom and she said, yeah.

1190
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:11,560
She said, how that happens?

1191
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,520
She said, it was just a coincidence.

1192
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,760
And that joke's kind of developed now where it's because, I said, well, to be honest,

1193
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:21,360
you're just busy having sex during the page in the big book of baby names.

1194
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,080
Close your legs, open a book, woman is what I'm trying to say.

1195
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,880
And then I asked my dad and my dad was like, what can I say?

1196
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,880
Your mom loves a D. And I was like, I could tell you what you shouldn't say, dad.

1197
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,880
But the funny thing is dad never said that.

1198
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,840
I was an audience person who had told me one time.

1199
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,200
I was like, that's great.

1200
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:41,800
That's a great end to the joke.

1201
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,160
That person nailed me and did me a big favor.

1202
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:45,160
Yeah.

1203
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,760
My mom also got mad at me for that joke too.

1204
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:49,760
But yeah.

1205
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:50,760
Yeah.

1206
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:51,760
Yeah.

1207
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:52,760
What are your?

1208
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,000
My mom got mad at most of my jokes, to be honest.

1209
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,040
So I had to kill her.

1210
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:02,000
Well, right here on the podcast, is that what we're facing that information?

1211
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,680
Getting into way more than I thought we would.

1212
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,240
But that is one of the things.

1213
00:54:09,240 --> 00:54:12,280
My dad saw me long before my mom ever did.

1214
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:16,840
I didn't let my mom see me do comedy until I was headlining Wiseacres where I started

1215
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,240
that you came and worked down a couple of times.

1216
00:54:19,240 --> 00:54:20,920
And she was actually very cool with it.

1217
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,160
But she was also, my mom was also very cool in the fact that when I was a kid, she let

1218
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:28,120
me listen to, you know, like my son's age, like 11, 12, 13, I was listening to Richard

1219
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:32,640
Pryor and Eddie Murphy and all these, all these comics that were definitely, definitely

1220
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,360
way too on the dirty side for me, but they were supportive.

1221
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,800
So that was always kind of cool.

1222
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:38,800
Very cool.

1223
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:44,200
I mean, we're in the opposite, but yeah, well, I remember when my comedy special came out,

1224
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,040
we tried to keep it a secret from her.

1225
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,040
The Comedy Now special?

1226
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:48,040
You tried to hide it?

1227
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,520
Yeah, we were trying to keep it a secret from her.

1228
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,040
My sister, everybody like, just don't tell her.

1229
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,040
Don't tell her.

1230
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,480
There's nothing good is going to come from this.

1231
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:58,480
And she knows.

1232
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:03,440
And that stupid, the stupid network ran promos.

1233
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:04,440
Of course she saw.

1234
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,000
She found out about it.

1235
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,040
What did she say?

1236
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:11,320
What does your mom say when she finds out you have a national TV special?

1237
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,680
Well, first of all, there was a warning.

1238
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:15,720
There was a warning.

1239
00:55:15,720 --> 00:55:19,600
There was a warning about language.

1240
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,320
So right off the bat, my mother was furious.

1241
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,240
Yeah, that's not good at all.

1242
00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:29,440
So yeah, I was one of those few people that could have their own national comedy special

1243
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:33,840
and have their mother tell him it was the most embarrassing moment of their life or

1244
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:34,840
something like that.

1245
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,920
And she said to me, and I was like, thanks, mom.

1246
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,920
Thanks a lot.

1247
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:42,440
Most moms would be more supportive.

1248
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:46,040
But yeah, I mean, I could see where that would be like.

1249
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:47,040
I appreciate that.

1250
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,640
Yeah, I mean, there's actually a joke about it.

1251
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,960
I would make fun of some of my friends who do drugs and I don't do any drugs.

1252
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,120
And she got mad at me for having friends who do drugs.

1253
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,320
I'm like, but I don't do them.

1254
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:00,320
Who cares?

1255
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:01,320
I don't understand.

1256
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:07,360
You should be very happy that your son doesn't do any drugs.

1257
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:11,560
Plus that joke, because I literally was just watching that joke the other like last night.

1258
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,360
And you were talking about how they call you at 530 in the morning, which is awesome, dude.

1259
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:18,280
The fact that you rattle it off the way you do is really, really good.

1260
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:19,280
Oh, man.

1261
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,760
But you're like, you know, and just like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.

1262
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:22,760
It was great.

1263
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,640
And then the end is like, is that water a click?

1264
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,560
Like, dude, it was so succinct and perfect.

1265
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,280
And the way you do it, you deliver it so like bam, bam, bam, bam.

1266
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:32,280
And then it's done.

1267
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:33,280
It's a good joke.

1268
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:37,480
Well, you know, I disagree with your mother on a lot of that.

1269
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:43,280
Well, it's hard to tell her now, but she was an odd woman.

1270
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:44,280
I hear that.

1271
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:45,280
I hear that.

1272
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:46,920
So what are you working on now?

1273
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:47,920
Let's talk about what you're working on now.

1274
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,480
Let's talk about where you're going in life.

1275
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:50,800
What are you kind of trying to do?

1276
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,800
I know you were talking about, we're not going to get into it right now.

1277
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,360
Maybe some other point will.

1278
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,120
But what is Daryl Purvis working on?

1279
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,000
What are your plans for the future?

1280
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:05,880
Well, I know we were talking about my career is a bit and upheaval right now.

1281
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,040
So we're talking off.

1282
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:09,520
I just got fired from something.

1283
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:14,560
So trying to figure out what the next process is kind of weird because I've just spent the

1284
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,640
last five months writing script after script after script.

1285
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:23,680
And then now I kind of don't know what to do with my day.

1286
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,640
So I don't know.

1287
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:30,760
I mean, right now, just trying to book a bunch of shows, trying to fill a calendar.

1288
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:31,760
Right.

1289
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,760
So people can get you at DarrylPurvis.ca.

1290
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:34,760
.ca.

1291
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:35,760
Yeah.

1292
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:36,760
.com.

1293
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:37,760
Yeah.

1294
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,360
Don't go to.com.

1295
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,360
Something going on in China over there.

1296
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:45,720
Is that what it is?

1297
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,800
Must be a Chinese comedian named Daryl Purvis.

1298
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:48,800
Is that what it is?

1299
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:49,800
DarylPurvis.com?

1300
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,760
Well, I let it expire, I think.

1301
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,400
And then it's just one of those things where it's gone forever now.

1302
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:56,400
Yeah, it's gone forever.

1303
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:57,400
Nice.

1304
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:58,400
But it's all right.

1305
00:57:58,400 --> 00:57:59,400
CA work.

1306
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,200
And that's what I'm working on right now.

1307
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:08,680
I mean, I'm literally sitting down writing that I think we talked about earlier, that

1308
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:09,680
story.

1309
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:10,680
I'm going to try to-

1310
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:11,680
Right.

1311
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:12,680
Punch that up.

1312
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:14,440
Put a bunch of punch lines in that tomorrow.

1313
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:15,440
That's my goal.

1314
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:20,480
It's very much what I want to get done in the next few days.

1315
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,120
I want to, like I said, bring it to the stage by Tuesday, hopefully.

1316
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:25,120
We'll see.

1317
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,680
We'll see how it feels by tomorrow night.

1318
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:32,840
But yeah, I'm not just trying to book shows.

1319
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:41,080
I thought I had a- it's a weird story, but I thought I'd be working for this show for

1320
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,080
the next little while.

1321
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,600
And then now I'm not.

1322
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,240
So how do I fill that time is the question.

1323
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:50,240
And pay the bills.

1324
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:51,240
That's the bigger question.

1325
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:56,560
Well, that's one of the things about being a comic and people ask me all the time, why

1326
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,040
did I get out of it?

1327
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,540
Because I didn't, for a couple of different reasons.

1328
00:59:01,540 --> 00:59:05,640
One was because I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere, but also because I could support

1329
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:14,760
myself, but I couldn't really support a wife and a newborn baby doing it.

1330
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,060
But you kind of found to do that.

1331
00:59:16,060 --> 00:59:19,480
So you know what you're doing as far as that.

1332
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:28,120
It's funny because I think about my friends that I started with and how many of them left

1333
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,040
to get real careers.

1334
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:36,000
And being so sad that they felt that I felt so sad that they thought they had to go do

1335
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:37,600
that.

1336
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:42,240
And strange enough, I'm meeting with one of them on Tuesday about getting fired.

1337
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,160
So he'll be my lawyer as of Tuesday.

1338
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:50,960
So his career leaving comedy benefits you who is still in the comedy.

1339
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:51,960
Eventually.

1340
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:52,960
Yeah.

1341
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:53,960
Yeah.

1342
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:54,960
So no, no, no.

1343
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,800
I always think of it like, I mean, it's going to work out.

1344
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:01,840
But those guys have such good lives, you know?

1345
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:02,840
Well, my life's good.

1346
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:03,840
I'm not going to lie.

1347
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:09,640
But yeah, you're always like, Oh, what if I had gone in a different direction?

1348
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,040
Yeah, I've thought about that a lot.

1349
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:16,760
We were talking before, like I said, other people I know who are big now in the business

1350
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:17,760
and everything.

1351
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,080
And you sit there and you go, Wow, what if I'd done this?

1352
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:20,640
Or what if I'd done that?

1353
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:26,120
But I also realize, you know, sometimes you just can't, you know, can't worry about that.

1354
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,160
Kind of got to move forward with it, man.

1355
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:29,160
Yeah.

1356
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:30,160
You got to keep chugging.

1357
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:31,640
We've come this far, man.

1358
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:32,640
I know.

1359
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,680
I mean, it's a little late to pull out now.

1360
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:35,680
Yeah.

1361
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:36,680
No pun intended.

1362
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,720
Do you have anything though?

1363
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:41,320
From when you were younger, where you go?

1364
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,400
It's like, you know, you change one thing.

1365
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:52,560
Yeah, I mean, I think that maybe I shouldn't have treated it as such a party when I was

1366
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:53,560
younger.

1367
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,320
You know, I always worked hard.

1368
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:58,320
That was the thing.

1369
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:05,040
But I still, you know, you go away for a show and you maybe shouldn't drink every time,

1370
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,520
you know, especially at a festival or something.

1371
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:09,840
So you just take it easy.

1372
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:10,840
Just relax.

1373
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:11,840
Don't have tang free beers.

1374
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:12,840
I don't care if they're free.

1375
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:13,840
Yeah.

1376
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:14,840
Yeah.

1377
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:15,840
I don't know.

1378
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:16,840
I don't have a lot of regrets.

1379
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:18,400
I just wish things had turned out differently.

1380
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,120
You know, like I had a weird trajectory.

1381
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:22,120
I did.

1382
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,520
We've talked before in our lives.

1383
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:28,080
It just took off like crazy in my first two or three years.

1384
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:33,960
And then it was almost like the Canadian comedy industry went, okay, that's enough of him.

1385
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:40,560
And now it's been a battle for the last 22 years, just trying to make my own place.

1386
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:41,560
You know?

1387
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,720
So you haven't done anything where, and I don't think you have, but you know, it's not

1388
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:47,380
necessarily about changing things.

1389
01:01:47,380 --> 01:01:51,440
I think that one of the mentalities I've tried to adopt as far, especially when I quit drinking

1390
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:56,000
and everything else like that is, you know, one of the moments I have to take every day,

1391
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:01,880
every week, every month is a moment where I can give myself something to make myself

1392
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:03,880
happy, to make myself go, hey.

1393
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:05,920
This is the right path that I'm doing.

1394
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,960
Even if it's not comedy, it's really just that I as a person am sort of doing that.

1395
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:14,080
Do you find that you have moments in your life where you're doing that just as a person,

1396
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:18,760
just as what Darryl Purvis, not just a comic, but just kind of, you know, a little bit of

1397
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:22,560
a personal insight into you where you like you sit there and you kind of think to yourself,

1398
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:23,560
all right.

1399
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:24,560
This is my mojo.

1400
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:25,560
Oh, no.

1401
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:30,440
I mean, look, I have a good life.

1402
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:38,680
I have a wonderful wife and we enjoy our life and it's, I say a lot, we have a good life

1403
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,040
because we do have a good life.

1404
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:44,200
It's hard to, you know, when you're lucky enough to be able to go sit on a beach in

1405
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:50,600
Aruba, it's hard to go, oh God, I wish I, my life had been better.

1406
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:54,080
You know, it's kind of hard to have that feeling.

1407
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:57,760
I mean, did my career go where I thought it was going to go?

1408
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:58,760
Not so far.

1409
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,560
I don't know, but who knows what's coming up?

1410
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,280
Who knows it's around the corner?

1411
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,760
That's a funny thing about this industry.

1412
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,000
You just don't know, right?

1413
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:10,960
You just don't, especially nowadays with the way the internet works and whatnot.

1414
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:20,040
But no, I have no regrets in life and I enjoy my life and I mean, yeah, I wish I'd made

1415
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:27,600
a bit more money, but at the end of the day, you know, just, you know, working with someone

1416
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,520
recently who had a lot of money and he has no kids.

1417
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:32,120
He's like, well, I'm not taking it with me.

1418
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,400
So you know, might as well spend it.

1419
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,160
Well, yeah, that's money.

1420
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:38,720
I mean, it makes your life better.

1421
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:39,720
It makes your life more miserable.

1422
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,640
What are you going to do?

1423
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,800
So yeah, I mean, I have no regrets in comedy.

1424
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:44,800
I worked hard.

1425
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:50,400
I tried hard and never, sometimes shows went bad and there's nothing you can do about it.

1426
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:51,400
Sometimes you know what?

1427
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,760
You're at a festival and you have a bad show and then they don't want to book you ever

1428
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:55,760
again.

1429
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,960
I wasn't the only person who had a bad show.

1430
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,200
I mean, that's life.

1431
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,000
Just what can you do?

1432
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:07,400
So yeah, I don't know if that even came close to answering your question.

1433
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,040
But that's what I was getting.

1434
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,440
No, I like, I like my life.

1435
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,520
I, there's nothing really here I want to change.

1436
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,760
You know, it's a good life.

1437
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:18,400
Nothing, nothing too dramatic.

1438
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:19,400
It's awesome.

1439
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:20,400
Yeah.

1440
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:21,400
Like I said, comedy.

1441
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:29,280
I mean, I, I've met enough people that have gone to fame and fortune through this and

1442
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,000
was I as good as them on a lot of shows?

1443
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,000
Of course.

1444
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:40,240
But you know, the right breaks, not everybody can become rich and famous, you know?

1445
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,560
So yeah, there's nothing I want to change.

1446
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:49,440
Maybe if only I could remember more of my old jokes, that would be nice.

1447
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,040
Don't worry.

1448
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,040
You're preaching the choir, man.

1449
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:54,040
You're preaching the choir.

1450
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,040
If anybody's listening to this, they're probably like, I hate this guy.

1451
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:58,040
I'm sorry.

1452
01:04:58,040 --> 01:04:59,040
I have a good life.

1453
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:00,040
No, that's awesome.

1454
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:01,040
I'm lucky.

1455
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,040
There are purposes.

1456
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:03,040
I love you, man.

1457
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:04,040
You're, you know, I love you too, buddy.

1458
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:09,040
I wish you could, I wish you'd come back to Canada.

1459
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,160
I'm going to get there again eventually.

1460
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:12,800
That is the goal at some point.

1461
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,040
And then, and then when I do, I'll probably, I don't know, I might try to make it so it's

1462
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:20,080
a, you know, summertime or something like that when there's kids don't have school or

1463
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,640
a kid doesn't have school.

1464
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,640
And make it, I don't know, some sort of a family affair.

1465
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,920
Like, all right, daddy's got to go work now for a little bit.

1466
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:29,920
Yeah.

1467
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,320
Plus I love, you know, I don't know, I always like being up in Canada.

1468
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:36,320
I always tell people all the time when I go up to some of the best clubs, the best crowds,

1469
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,000
the best everything I've had in comedy.

1470
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:42,960
And I've been a lot of good, pretty decent places.

1471
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,440
But some of the best ones I've ever been to were in, were in Canada.

1472
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,840
I mean, just, they're just, I don't know.

1473
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:49,840
I love Canadian people.

1474
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,240
And like I said, I mean, we started off the show talking about it.

1475
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:53,240
Yeah.

1476
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:54,240
We were talking about hockey.

1477
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:55,240
I could do it all day.

1478
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:56,240
I love the gear.

1479
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:57,240
Awesome.

1480
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:01,640
Well, you can find, yeah, throbbing PB and J available wherever you can get comedy stuff.

1481
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,360
Apple music, I believe is, yeah, I was going back and looking at it.

1482
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:07,400
Darrell Purvis dot CA do it on that.

1483
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:08,400
Right.

1484
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:14,400
I look at the website among the socials deeper comic, the P U R comic.

1485
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:19,600
If anybody wants to deeper comics, if you're looking, if you're in Scunthorpe for what's it

1486
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:20,600
called?

1487
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:21,600
Scunthorpe.

1488
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:22,600
Scunthorpe.

1489
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,240
Look, we'd love to have you on the socials.

1490
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:25,240
Yeah.

1491
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:28,720
I see it's close to pocket and talking of hockey.

1492
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:35,360
Former owner of the Edmonton Oilers, Peter Pockleton, Scoon Thorpe, not far from pocket

1493
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:36,360
in UK.

1494
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:37,360
True story.

1495
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:42,640
I just thought, yeah, anybody in Scunthorpe next time Darrell's back, Darrell Purvis dot

1496
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:43,640
CA, you can book them.

1497
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:49,560
I'm trying to see if I'm near a Scunthorpe at all next time through, but I don't think

1498
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:50,560
so.

1499
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:51,560
Darrell Purvis, you're awesome.

1500
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:52,920
You're welcome back anytime.

1501
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:56,240
If not, if not before you got to have to have to come back for episode 87.

1502
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:57,240
We were talking on.

1503
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:58,240
Yeah, let's 87.

1504
01:06:58,240 --> 01:06:59,240
Let's Sydney Crosby.

1505
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,520
Let's we just have a, we have a whole episode dedicated to Sydney.

1506
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:07,280
No, no, you cannot because Sydney Crosby is from.

1507
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,520
Your hometown or just right around?

1508
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:11,080
No, no, no, two hours away.

1509
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:12,080
Two hours away.

1510
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:13,080
Okay.

1511
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:14,080
But he's from, he's from Nova Scotia.

1512
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:15,840
So there's all these rumors.

1513
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,760
He's been hanging out with a lot of Leafs players in the last few weeks in Toronto,

1514
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,440
but I know he comes here and plays a lot of poker in the off season too.

1515
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:23,440
So okay.

1516
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,920
Well, you got inside, you got inside connect Canadian information right there.

1517
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:27,920
Nice.

1518
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:28,920
Nice.

1519
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:29,920
Well, you know what?

1520
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:33,760
If not before episode 87, you have to, you have to come back for that one.

1521
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:37,840
And I'll do 87 of my Sydney Crosby shirt on.

1522
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:38,840
Let's do it.

1523
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:39,840
That's fine.

1524
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:40,840
Well, this is audio only.

1525
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:42,640
So we'll tell people that you're wearing it.

1526
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,120
We could tell people you're wearing one now, but you're not.

1527
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:46,120
Yeah.

1528
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:47,120
Yeah.

1529
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:48,120
That thing.

1530
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:49,120

1542
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,400

Love that guy.

1544
01:08:18,500 --> 01:08:19,500
Love that guy.

1545
01:08:19,500 --> 01:08:20,500
All right.

1546
01:08:20,500 --> 01:08:23,480

I kept saying PB and J in the episode.

1551
01:08:39,480 --> 01:08:40,480
He never corrected me.

1552
01:08:40,480 --> 01:08:42,680
I don't know why.

1553
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:43,680
But anyway, very funny.

1554
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:44,680
He's a funny.

1555
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:49,240
I feel like we talked about his jokes more than anything, but you know, I'm a fan.

1556
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,220
So you know, why would I not?

1557
01:08:51,220 --> 01:08:52,220
Why would I not?

1558
01:08:52,220 --> 01:08:53,220
Right?

1559
01:08:53,220 --> 01:08:54,220
All right.

1560
01:08:54,220 --> 01:08:55,220

The goal is to make the entire country no-kill shelters by the year 2025.

1573
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:28,880
I guess I did do the whole read on that one.
