Hey everybody, welcome to Jon D Podcast. I'm your host Jon D Miller. Welcome to
episode number 71 numero setenta y uno in the old espanol language. That's right.
Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. That's how I should say it. 1383 going on 1384. Is it 83 or is it 84?
Is it 84, 85? Shit. No, I think that's it's 183 going on 184. Yeah, because it's after
midnight when I am recording this. So that's what that technically is. But I
don't know if I wanted to cheat a little bit I could say 84 going on 85 because it's
been so long since I've been here and you know I don't know when it's gonna
come out so maybe if it's a day or two then I might have an issue. You know
because then I'm behind I don't think I've done that much in my and all my
time of doing Jon D Podcast. I don't think I've done that. I don't
think I have. Anyways, how are ye's, how are you's, how are y'all's? It's got three
years, nine months, and 15 days. Is that what it was? Is that what it is? Oh my
gosh. You know if you had told me three years, nine months, and 15 days ago, hey
Jon or maybe a little before that so but if you said hey Jon you know in
this amount of time almost four years you're gonna be at not having having
drinking that long and I've probably been like shut up and give me my shot.
That's probably what I said. Shut up. Quit lying faker. I think pretty much by this
point when I was well when I was at this point when I started quitting three
years, nine months, and 15 days ago I was ready to be done so that's why I
that's why I was saying you gotta back it up a little bit. I think it's always
funny when people talk about if you told me such and such amount of time like
well but at the time you weren't ready to be done or you were getting to a
point where it was you know go back a little further and then I was telling my
lovely wife Liz you know that's the thing you go back like go back ten years and
then talk to me you know if you had said hey John in ten years from now to this
day next December here in 2014 in ten years from now in 2024 you will have
been almost four years with no booze I'd said uh-huh and then what else happened
and then you would have told me all the other crazy shit that was happening in
the world and I've been like okay well I would have thought that with all of that
I would have continued drinking and I did for almost four years which
coincides with a lot of stuff a lot of stuff that's going on right now and I
don't know am I gonna have to start drinking again that's what the fuck I
want to know I I don't know if I don't even want to go into it I have told
myself I had everybody I you know I'm like look I want this to be a bastion of
where everybody can come together not necessarily I don't want to lie and say
that if you support certain things and certain people I don't want you to
listen to this podcast but if you're a nice kind person that likes to laugh at
dumb shit and listen to myself then yeah come on in hang out let's have a good
time because we are better than that we're gonna do what we can and we're
gonna we're gonna deal with it and you know on both sides of this wherever you
might lie as far as political parties go there are allies to each other in both
there are allies to each other so remember that and I don't know maybe we
have some new new movement I just hope that we as a country don't take a giant
movement and and become total total garbage time will tell but our own
fortitude and the way we handle it and when we do things with each other is
gonna be key okay so that's what I'll say about that at least for now okay but I
think that was good all right but yeah thanks to everybody thanks for listening
to episode 70 I know it has been two months since I was here a little over
two months and I am very sorry but I have been busy which has been very cool
but I do want to say thank you to everybody who listened to episode 70
that was by myself and you people I don't know what it is you show up it's
not always the same amount of numbers we go was if it's always the same every
time well then he's probably bots and all that I fucking I know how that I
know how it works okay I'm not an idiot okay at least I'd not in the sense of I
know how podcast that statistics work say that again jerk anyways like I get
all that but you guys keep showing up for me and then you know and then I get
the residual every once in a while somebody might find it and everything
else but thanks everybody who listened to it it was really cool and a non
explicit episode a couple people is this is this what you're gonna do all the
time no I am not as you've already heard this one's not gonna be a non explicit
episode but anyways thank you to everybody you keep turning up for me and
I love it and I hopefully you turn up for this one because I know it has been
a long time oh real quick I want to do this big shout out real quick to to mr.
Patrick Logan for having me on his show again at another round bar and grill and
man that was awesome it's fun it was weird it once again it's weird going to
a place that I grew up going to that was a Greek it was called the celebrity room
it's just I don't know I did like 12 or 14 I did it you know okay here's why I
mentioned it is because I've been working on new material I know I'd have
been been doing the stand-up that much as I'd like to be but other things have
been going on got it I but here's the thing I have been working on material
and that my set was it was a showcase set but whatever but you know what I
really liked was there were segments I'm starting to put together segments of
jokes of routines okay this joke's gonna go here or and this this is gonna go in
this spot and then this is gonna and that's how comics build acts and I
went there last night with that in mind with that intention they were a little
uptight I'm not gonna lie they're a little tight and I was in his polish I
was like to have been but a lot of my material wasn't because it was new but I
think that I was I dug it I was digging it I first I was I got off stage I was
like man and that's every comic like you know you'll get people that say to you
oh great set man great set you know like that sucked that was not and not
necessarily that it sucks but you know as a comic that it could have been
better right as a comic you always want to do your best I don't think there's
any comics that go out and they're like yeah all right I'm gonna kind of like
halfway I'm gonna half-ass this you know as a comic you always want to do well
and so I think it's really if you're worth your salt and you're trying
mentally I think then physically you're gonna do all you can in your own
particular style to make it as good as you want it to and I mean by like
delivery cadence your timing making sure your words are set correct like right
that that's what it is so I wasn't happy with this set and but I was happy
listening to it later on with the segments that were going into it I think
I think that was huge and I really liked it I had some nice little strings that
were a good minute or two and you might go that's it yeah but these are the you
know when you get any when you grow a plant you know you know I'm saying any
kind of plant just any any any kind of plant not one particular plant type or
anything but when you grow a plant and you first get those sprouts and they're
coming up and you got a few leaves on it and you can make out the shape of the
leaf and you can tell what kind of leaf it is but my point is that that's what
these are that's what these are becoming and not that any of my jokes have ever
been more than a couple minutes I mean whether they be a little bit longer some
jokes when you write them you write them out they become longer they just kind of
string them together or you write one joke and then a month later you write
the other one it's one reason why like when my buddy Darrell Purvis was on when
he was on a while back he was saying how like the more you work the more you
write and I feel like if I was doing more gigs I feel like I would have
written more by now had I had more gigs but I haven't and but I'm happy with what
it was I was happy what it was so a little bit of insight there I'm the
pieces are coming together well my one old joke that I made into a new joke is
still doing very good yeah all right so here's what's going on I know last
episode no sponsor and also a couple people are like did that commercial you
did and recorded I don't know how long ago is a little it's getting a little
stale I'm gonna do this but I'm gonna read it I asked you read it myself
because yeah anyways please welcome back to the bud guest everybody blend jet oh
boy when I quit booze for good because I did I quit booze for good I'm done
with them done with it they say you need it but you really don't all right when I
could booze for good one thing that I learned one thing I learned was to
always keep your palette entertained and that is absolutely true that's a hundred
percent true and one of my new favorite ways when I made it happen was the blend
jet 2 all right blend jet 2 is portable yeah you can just throw that
thing wherever just take it with you put it in your car you can bled up a
smoothie at work protein shake at the gym or even an na margarita on the beach
I know it's the same wording as the actual commercial that I had before this
is gonna be funny it's small enough to fit in your cup holder that's right I
was saying you can put it in your car I just said that yeah you can put it but
cup holder put it in there I mean people might wonder if it's a bong or something
for a minute when they first get in the car they might see and go the fuck is
that oh it's a it's a little blender like yeah got a little smoothie going on or
whatever milkshake that's my preference right okay so it's small enough to fit
in a cup holder right we were talking about that but it's powerful enough to
blast through tough ingredients like ice and frozen fruit with ease yeah and
here's the thing about it for all you hunters out there there's a camouflage
version okay and here's the thing about blend jet whisper quiet it's very quiet
so if you're making up some smoothies out in the old duck blind or tree stand
right and one of your buddies pulls out the camouflage blend jet first off you're
gonna go what are you doing is it is it loud no man no it's whisper quiet it'd
be like you want some you'd be like yeah and you'd be like what'd you put it in
he's like PBR and pork rinds and a little bit of orange Gatorade so you
don't get no scurvy but it is it's with whisper quiet so you can make your
morning smoothie it lasts for 15 plus blends it freaking better I'm just
kidding yeah it lasts for 15 plus blends and you can recharge it quickly via USB
C everybody's going to USB C nowadays you don't need a lightning adapter for
it any of that stuff it's easy all right and the best of all blend jet to cleans
itself yeah really I'm serious literally just you know dump out the leftover PBR
and pork rinds smoothie and then just blend water with a drop of soap and
you're like good to go all right all right or whatever you had your morning
smoothie with your kale and yogurt ah disgusting as I was saying they do have
30 plus colors and patterns to choose from there's the blend jet to to
compliment just about any style maybe they have a blue one I think I might I
think I might get the wife one it's got this like marble pattern on it it's kind
of cool I think I think it's more her all right so here's what you need to do

commercial and do that while you can okay all right well let's let's all keep
on rolling I want to talk about NHL maybe a little NFL real quick before we
get to the email from RJ I want to give it up from my Washington Capitals for
starting the season as I'm recording this they are 17 6 and 1 and have been
without the great Alex Ovechkin for the last few games because he broke his
fibula which sounds like something you is in space doesn't it now that's I know
nebula but I'm just saying if somebody if you were talking to somebody in a bar
and you were hammered they're like yeah you know the horse said fibula and you
wouldn't probably know that's a nebula I'm not saying you'd be talking about
like that in a bar if you I'm just saying I've had some dumb conversations
in bars you never know what could happen I'm just saying if somebody said
fibula and you were hammered yeah I'm not sure you would you would catch it
that's my point but yeah he fact fractured but yeah he fractured his
fibula Ovechkin did and he's been out four to six weeks apparently he's
skating now but I'm just saying the team has responded they are playing very well
I really got it I gotta say I'm we're a quarter into the season little over they
look good I've been watching those caps since 86 I'm telling you I'm saying I've
watched a lot of hockey in my day we I've talked about it before but I like
this team I like them I like their additions I didn't like losing some of
the people we lost I didn't like losing Nick Jensen but the pickup of Chikrin
who's been doing has been awesome so shout out to them I love it I love it I
love it and when Ove comes back he's got 27 to break the record he would have
done it by Christmas probably but now no I don't know we'll see what happens you
know to two lockouts and then now an injury I mean he would he should already
be done by now I'm not necessarily playing but as far as getting this
record he should already be done with it it should be done so that that kind of
sucks and I felt feel bad for that guy because he was tearing up man he was
tearing up the team's still doing it without him which you know when your AHL
team such as the Hershey Bears did the last two years winning the American
Hockey League Championship you got some talent in the system so it's I'm glad to
see it coming to fruition keep doing it caps I want to get to this now because
one it's long overdue because I got this email I don't know a month ago and my
I've already communicated with the author of the email is that what it is
I've been working on too many literary podcasts lately no this guy this guy
wrote to me after episode 70 where I do it you can do it too okay if you take
the minute mark of the episode title you put it in an email to me with the
episode title where it appears at the minute mark of the episode and you're
the first one to do it am I doing 30 of these freaking things or well it'd be a
lot more than that if everybody did it but it's the first one it's the first
one to do it okay don't be like hey I sent you an email where is my gift card
because that's not gonna happen okay that's just not gonna happen all right
oh the old where's Mike Diesel when I need him all right so I got this email
and this guy like I said he wrote it to me and you could do it too with the
minute mark title the episode right to John D podcom at gmail.com make sure you
have it be something that I'm gonna recognize like say like episode 71 and
you can even say the title of the episode in the email subject or whatever
and then just whatever I'm just saying make sure it gets my attention okay
because I've gotten emails from people and they didn't put anything that was
very like descriptive of what the email was in the subject line so I either
glanced over it or you know I do check spam and stuff every once in a while but
I'm just saying I just make sure I see it okay this was from RJ and he wrote in
to to get the Amazon gift card ten dollar Amazon gift card if you're the
first person to do this I mean it's a quick email just if you're listening
make a mental note write it down and then send it to me I'll send you any of
the first one I'll send you an Amazon gift card all right so this is from RJ
spelled a RJ a Y not RJ I know I've known an RJ the pet this is RJ did I did I get
an RJ did I get it on chain up that's gonna be weird if I did did I hmm I'm
have to go back and check or maybe it was one that I got and I didn't I didn't
read the email I don't know Oh memories all right so this is from RJ and the
subject episode this is what he said he said episode 70 title and a couple of
questions because he does have a couple of questions which is the reason why
this emails very cool all right he says hi John this is RJ saying hello from Reno
Nevada yeah I you know and this is the thing I told RJ I when I emailed him and
if he's hearing this he'll hopefully he hopefully he's still a listener and yeah
I do see Reno pop up on my on my little thing because in pockets you get a map
and you can see where people listen to you it's kind of cool but it's not
always that accurate because sometimes the places are what they call them so
the scent like central location data centers and stuff like that so but I do
see Reno pop up and that so that's pretty cool he says I've got the last
episode title for episode 70 lightning bug down lightning bug Dow well he put
Dow which you mentioned at the 1458 mark and I emailed him I said Dow he said no
I meant down I was typo I said all right cool so he says hopefully I'm the first
to get it to you and can snag that Amazon gift card and yeah you were you
were the first one we'll just leave it at that all right so yeah it's out there
man and I know there's I know those people who listen I don't know why don't
get listens a few more I have gotten on other ones other episodes I've gotten
more than just what I got for this one but anyways RJ very yeah
congratulations you got the the $10 Amazon gift card very good and I said
also this this is well also one of the things I liked about this email is
because I do like talking about comedy and I want to sort of keep this podcast
focused on comedy as much as I can among some other things but it's one of the
big topics I want to be a part of this podcast when does a comic know they've
transitioned to being a working comic I thought that was an interesting coin of
phrase the way it was said because people say all the time oh a pro comic
well a pro comic like I'm not talking about what you got your first gig and I
made $20 I made $20 and I'm a I'm a pro comic now ha ha okay yeah do that joke
it's fine joke around like that but you're not a working so a working car
and I had to think about this and RJ I didn't email with you the answer I'd but
this so here it is when you're a working comic I that's when it's when you pay
your bills with it and I don't mean just paying your bills like yeah I work this
place or I work funny I work the clubs you know I work the funny bones in the
comedy zones and I do stuff like that and that's great but and those are fun
most of them not not all of them are to me when you're really a working comic is
when you take a gig that you know is probably gonna suck either because
you've heard it's gonna suck or because you've been there before and you know it
sucks and so what you do and it's it it could be either looped into another you
know a bunch of other nights but it and it sucks but it's part of the package
or or it could be the type of situation where you know you take the gig you know
because you know on the flip side of it even though it's gonna suck there's
money involved and you have overpriced one bedroom or loft apartment or
whatever the heck those things are that you know you're like shit I gotta I gotta
pay for that thing maybe bought a car when you had a decent paying job or
working a lot more and now you got to pay for the car you got bills and you
know on the flip side of this of this gig there is money involved and so that
you do the gig also as an add-on to that I would say that you're a working comic
when you take a gig you know you go to the gig and you're like and this is
also in the money factor but you get there let's say you know the scene on
your mind like working for the Booker you don't even know him that well and
maybe it's not that far a drive and I guess the shows going like the MC's on
or maybe the feature acts on depending on your position is in the show at the
time and you're like this is sucking like this is this is terrible and you're
like I could just leave I could literally just leave and and not even do
this show and just leave and nobody would even you know you might get a
phone call from the Booker for whatever I'm a what the hell happened to you and
what do you like whatever dude bye which is not a good thing to do you don't want
to burn bridges and anything because word does get around but I'm just saying
you're there and you're like man I don't want I don't want to do this but once
again it is a simple factor of you gotta pay your bills with it that is when
you're a working comic when you do shows that you don't really want to do because
do you know what there is money involved and you know that you can go up there
and tell some jokes and whether you sit there and talk to the lights for 30
minutes or 40 minutes or whatever you know I gotta admit I was pretty
I was pretty fortunate in a lot of my with headlining gigs I didn't end up or
do them either by choice or just by happenstance where I was in a terrible
situation where I was gonna have to do 45 minutes to just crickets like just and
I was there done it I mean when I was I've seen it so many times being on the
run my one time was in Michigan and it was like it was like a run you did in
Michigan and it was this one night you go to and it was literally it was this big
giant room and there was six people there and everybody sat in the back
where you couldn't see them it was awful like they a couple people laughed and
the owner was like hey you're expected to do 30 minutes all right okay he's like
the guys last week it was sort of it was like this but I'm trying to build it up
he probably never did but they cut early and then after the show the guy you know
wanted to sit there and argue with me about getting paid for it and I'm paying
you to do 30 minutes I want you to 30 minutes okay that's what I'm gonna do so
you literally just you know I don't know it's kind of funny when you I had
sometimes where you like you didn't even tell jokes you literally just sat there
like I remember one time I was so bored telling these jokes and just nobody was
listening and it looked like the place I was that looked like somebody taking a
Bennegan's and made it into like a you know local watering hole it just nobody
was paying attention and I just sat there one point I just started talking
about the weather literally talking about the weather and yeah but I stayed
up there I did my time because I needed the money and that RJ is is when as when
you know you're a working comic yeah and I asked you in the email my email back
to you a couple of emails but if you are a comic or you or want to be a comic I
don't know but I haven't gotten a response to you on that but I don't know
that's what I would say all right so just just keep that in mind if you know
somebody is a comic and they say they're a working comic that's the other thing
you're working comic if you get more than like I don't know four gigs a month
that are paid if you make $500 a month I consider you a working comic and I'm I
know it's not gonna pay a lot of a lot of bills but that's gonna pay some of
your bills I mean that's a working comic a pro comic I don't know is there a
distinction I don't know I guess a pro would be somebody I guess who does
nothing but because I definitely over the years have done things that were
comedy and other things that were not comedy including bringing people food
in various different settings making the food kicking people out of places where
they go to get drunk you know a lot of that and then some other stuff too over
there over time yeah you know you know do what you got to do to survive all
right now on to his second question which is any chance we'll be seeing some
of your new stand-up yeah once the jokes get to that point I mean most of what I
have on YouTube or anything else like that is shitty is like shitty club
recordings where you can hear me but you can't hear the audience or you hear too
much of the audience or you know there's not a lot of middle ground in between
for it so everything I do now I don't record my sets video wise I just record
audio and I could put the audio out but this the new stuff is it's not ready yet
it's getting there as I was saying before you know there are some bits and
pieces to what I'm doing that I really do like so and he says I really enjoy the
podcast and appreciate what you're doing looking forward to hearing back RJ well
thanks man thanks for writing it that was a fun thing to have that was
definitely you know I appreciate and you got a $10 gift card out of it like I
said for Amazon but no I appreciate that and you know hopefully I answered your
questions and I will try to have some video out not that a lot of people ask
but people do or have been asking well when are we gonna see the proof you know
and not my wife not my wife she not that she doesn't care or want to see it she
just you know I'm saying like she trusts me when I say I'm going out to do comedy
I'm not doing other stuff at least I hope so I would think so I don't know we
got that phone tracker thing she can look she can see where it is at least I
hope she does all right well we need to start wrapping this up don't we yes we
do I you know what I forgot to do it earlier and I wanted to give a shout out
to I did a little private event show in my local area here back in October end
of October we'll leave it that it's for a local group nothing nothing nefarious
everything's legal but it was Judd Howard well minor Kenny Winkle and Apple
Brown Betty all came and did awesome sets on the show and the people it was a
small show like 50 people but it was in a nice little little venue it was so no
it's not a jail yeah we were entertaining the inmates no it was it was a good time
and they all did really well and I want to thank them if you ever see them see
their names Judd Howard Will Minor Kenny Winkle Apple Brown Betty go go see them
because they are all fantastic in their own rights in each respective Lee and I
really appreciate them being out and I don't know if they'll hear that but tell
you it was such a good time it was such a good show it worked out so perfectly
like each one of them had their own sort of way that they were and it's yeah
their own style that was cool but I will be back to have you know maybe at least
talk to you for a little bit before Christmas if that's okay with you
whether I'm alone or not I you know I might get the wife she was talking about
it the other day she what not the other day a couple weeks ago something like
that I don't know it's been a while since the last episode damn it that's
what I'm saying she said what will we talk about if I was on there again I
don't know probably had to be better than what it was before because before

know I think I said I'll give you 20 for the both of us they said okay I said
all right thanks good negotiating all right so anyways check out those
charities and then like I said if you want to support the show Venmo Jon D
podcom and I already did the social media don't need that YouTube Jon D podcom
go look at my little pitiful YouTube thing I know I need to put some new
stand-up on there make sure you're following the correct one because there
is more than one it should redirect you but maybe I screwed it up so in that
instance try to find it John D podcom executive producers for the show Tom
Hancuff and Liz Miller they do what they do to help make this happen on in their
own ways this was recorded by me yours truly John D Miller in the Faraday
electric heater studio I'm giving them a plug I am things kicking I don't you

around our corner oh one of the other charities my other ones I know around
where I live it's called Puritan cleaners they like they're cleaners they
only take your stuff and then you know dry cleaning and all that type stuff and
the ones right here are called Puritan that's a chain of them I know but there's
probably ones around when you live depending where you live we listen to it
I know I have people around the country and even the world not in Australia I
know it's summertime there so when I'm we're excluding you but hey when your
winter comes back when it's July here you could do it I'm sure they got coat
collections anyways point being if you're in the northern hemisphere right
is it yeah if you're in the northern hemisphere and there's probably some
sort of a coat drive to help get some some kids out there and people there's
also ones that just to do it for adults as well I don't know there it's
important thing a good coat is important because what we human beings damn it so
alright and that's what I want everybody remember I know we're all doing holiday
stuff and getting everything rolling and that's great let's keep enjoying that
and let's try to stay civil and sane and I should hopefully be back to talk to
you before Christmas but enjoy the preparations enjoy the hot the part of
it that is some of the best part of really I mean when you're a kid I think
I think you enjoy the length of the season more as an adult and then as a
course of it as a kid it's the anticipation and the build-up to the big
day and a god just wanted to be here it's fun to be out of school but come on
now we're all just waiting it's a big day it's a big big day but enjoy the
prep that's what that's what more as adults we do right we enjoy that part
wife was putting out some stuff tonight listened to she loves the what
hippopotamus for Christmas she loves that which is it's fine it's fine the
92nd time you hear it, it gets a little but it's okay so enjoy the
prep stay focused stay humble stay honest right and especially this time of year
but really all year round make sure you take care of yourselves take care of
each other and until next time later for you
