This week on Clown College.
And like I didn't grow up in the hood, man, I grew up in the jungle.
So I got raped by animals.
Not me. I was talking about the opening universe.
Yes. OK, Brandon. Wink, wink.
Why the fuck I wink with you?
Oh, yeah.
You're just throwing us at equipment, Brandon.
We had we went outside of the shop one time with throwing a football.
Oh, my God, to watch this man catch a football.
Oh, no. That's horrible.
It's a sight to behold.
Hell, yeah. Are you special needs?
A little bit. Actually, I'm a little bit.
I'm glad we're getting into this right now.
Yes. Hell, yeah.
This is the Clown College podcast.
We're just a couple of open micers trying to make our way through the scene.
Where we interview comedians throughout different stages of their comedy career,
no matter if they're open micers, headliners or traveling comedians.
I'm here to Jamie 2.0.
I just talk a lot more.
Damn it, Brandon. Go sit in the corner.
Well, we're back. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Count College episode 10.
Wow. 10. Wow.
We hit the double digits. What's that mean?
I think it's something like if you post 10 podcasts consistently,
it's longer than like 97 or 99 percent of podcasts.
So come on, baby. We're top one percent.
We're in here. God damn it.
Let's go. Did you try to play the applause?
It was sounded like a light.
Yeah, I don't know what the fuck that that's why I stopped.
I was like, oh, let me try. Yeah, there we go.
I'm going to turn. How you been, Brandon?
Man, I've been hanging in there. I'm doing good.
That's all you can do.
Hey, we had that good show Friday.
Hell, yeah. That was a good time at Shannigan's.
The San Noob show.
San Noob. Hell, yeah.
That was a good time. That was a really good time.
Got to be in the green room. Oh, my God.
You were so hype, man. You were like, kick your ass.
Hell, yeah. You had a pocket free for this free beer and water.
You can't leave free shit around poor people.
Hell, no. We go nuts.
That's how much candy I had, man. Shit, I was just smacking away.
I was eating those little Japanese Nutella.
Yeah. Then I was asking everybody, I was like, y'all tried this shit?
Like, you remember you, it was just me and you.
And I went up and I went up to them tapping on the shoulder.
Hey, you tried them fucking M&M's over there.
Yeah, me and Brandon tear up some candy.
Hell, yeah. We were munching on that shit.
They had fortune cookies, which I thought was pretty cool.
And then I even bought some candy from the concession stand, too.
Oh, got half off.
No, wait, we do.
Yeah, you didn't know that shit.
Even Maddie got half off.
She went and bought her like a drink or something.
They gave her half off and Brandon did.
I didn't know. I spent like 12 bucks on two pieces of candy.
Oh, you would have got that for six.
Damn, Brandon.
Oh, well, Brandon. Yeah.
Well, you learn something new every day.
Did you not read the little poster in there?
No, I wasn't even friendly.
I was just thinking about the set.
I was like, no, no, let's get this shit.
Like when they asked me about the radio, they're like, do your radio voice.
I was so focused on the set that I said something, Brandon.
I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, shit, shit.
And they're like, you can't cause on the radio.
I'm like, oh, my bad, y'all. Hold up. I'm sorry.
He's like, don't apologize to me. You're good.
And I was like, no, I'm thinking on the set right now.
Oh, shit.
Whenever we were in there, you know,
sci fi kept on coming in to charge his phone.
What are you doing? Are you on the show?
Performers only. Yeah.
We're going to put a picture of his little chunky ass up here right now.
Because apparently he's a shit because he's on the board.
On the board. Is it your show?
I don't see a plaque with your name on it.
I didn't see nothing. Not shit.
Did you even see it?
I don't see Mr. Got jokes on any plaques anywhere, dude.
I seen a picture in the bathroom.
Does that count?
Yeah, he's like, I don't see anything.
Why you looking at pictures of sci fi in the bathroom?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
What was y'all doing?
Well, no, I was just taking a piss.
Oh, OK. He was just there.
No, it was on the wall, like the picture.
That'd be weird. Hey, Brandon, I like your piss.
Now we got another story to tell.
Another Brandon's corner.
Another fucking Brandon's corner.
I remember all that shenanigans.
I hope you guys like the episode, the solo episode.
I thought it went really well.
Yeah, that was fun. I really enjoyed that.
It was a good time.
And shout out to shenanigans for letting us on the noobs
and what they're going to do now.
Kim was saying she's going to try to do this once a month or so.
And if you're a comedian under two years, you get to get on there.
And if you want to go again, you just have to have a new five minutes
and then you get to go again.
I think that's great for.
It's a really cool thing.
Yeah, it's a really cool thing.
You get really cool.
We had Leanne on there.
What's a man's name?
Jason. Jason.
Sam Sam's Jason Sims.
And he was hilarious.
And then it was me and JJ Brandon and Jake Monti.
God damn it.
Jake Monti opened up the show.
Hell, he's supposed to do his roast at the end on Jonathan.
Went straight in started with this.
But then when we got to the roast portion, I mean, he had his own five minutes.
Oh, yeah.
He they had to take the mic away.
Yeah, he had a lot of gross.
Jake could have went.
Yeah, like you said, easily five minutes and just roasting Jonathan.
Yeah, it was great.
It was great. Everybody roasting him pretty good.
It was good.
You know, Kim killed Jason.
Oh, that was the funniest joke of the night.
Yeah, probably.
Kim's a fucking monster.
Shenanigans. She owns it.
If you see her on a show, though, I'm telling she brings the house down.
What she say that she said, oh, because Jason, he's a he's bald
and he's a ginger.
But so he's got a red beard.
And Kim said that he looked like her half shaven pussy.
Essentially, she worded it differently.
I think. Yeah.
That's what she said.
She'll be on on 28th and we'll get the, you know, the whole roast there.
Yeah, but she's a layer.
That shit had my ego too high, man.
That show, not even because I did good, just because like there was the green room
and there's free shit in there.
I was like, OK, then we get on stage, I hand a wireless microphone.
I'm like, OK, we're in the big one.
I said Square Garden, I'm coming next.
Hail. Hey, and you guys.
So we had that show on Friday, but Thursday, JJ did a feature
on Jonathan's silver dollar silver dollar comedy night
at the Speakeasy campus, 805.
And he murdered.
I don't want to understate this.
10 minutes. It was your first 10 minutes set, right? Yeah.
First 10 minutes set, murdered from beginning the first joke,
which is this clip right here.
I mean, when we get to it and then through the whole 10 minutes,
had the crowd on fire.
And then I found out, I was like, I have to follow.
Did that go good for me?
No, we we all did.
It was a great. It was a good lineup.
I mean, hit them with bangers.
The Birmingham guys came down. They did good.
Twenty five people, 25 people signed.
It's huge. Yeah.
By the end, Jonathan was wiping off the tables for them
because they were like, it's time to go. Yeah. Yeah.
But it was fun. It was a great night.
Well, JJ, you killed that shit. I got to tell you, I know you don't like compliments,
but I'm telling everybody was talking about it too.
It's in the groom. You fucking murdered.
And I'm not sure. Am I bullshitting?
And you were fucking amazing.
Like, dude, that was your best night.
I fucking hate you. And it was 10 minutes.
Watch the tape. You had these people like, dude,
I felt like I was watching a fucking experience, like a movie.
How these people act.
Because no, I'm not joking, dude.
The way you control that crowd, that worked, man, because they were like,
ooh, you really had your joke structure.
Each joke you told was in the perfect form, perfect placement.
And it just went over. I know you hate this.
This is worse than bombing. I know.
I know. They need to know.
They need to know if they come out and see JJ do 10 minutes,
he's doing some banger shit.
Well, I appreciate it.
But yeah, it was fun.
It was cool to be able to do 10 minutes because like mostly on any show
or most open mics, the most I've ever done is like five.
Sometimes you get seven.
Some of the other open mics.
So to do 10, it gives you a while to get up there and get more confident,
like gain your composure because you're five minutes into it
when you would normally get off and you still got five minutes left to do.
So you got more time to think more stuff to like react to,
say the jokes, see what they like, what they don't like.
You can switch the order.
And since you have more time, you have more time to throw in
just like off the like stuff off the cuff on the fly kind of. Yeah.
So you can relax and you're not rushing to get that that done.
And Jonathan helped me out a lot because before I went up there,
I was like, yeah, man, I don't know.
It might be more like 11 or 12.
I don't know how long it's going to take.
He said, just do just get comfortable.
Do your time. Even if I liked you, don't worry about it.
And I was like, hell yeah.
Hell yeah. I think you do. I was scared as fuck, though.
I think you did 11, like, or something and a half. Yeah.
Something like that. But it was good. It was fun time.
Hell yeah. It was a good time. That was a good mic, too.
I mean, it was bangers, bangers.
I saw sci fi go up.
You saw and I saw a part of Kim.
OK, yeah, she. Oh, Kim Margaret.
Kim murdered Justin Ledlow.
He did. He he he killed Jake Kiehl.
It was like it was like a span of like when you started till about like six
or seven, like everybody was killing and the crowd was loving that shit.
That's awesome.
And then whenever the Birmingham guys went up, they were all I mean,
I thought they all were funny.
At the end, they were like they were like,
we need to squash this Huntsville and Birmingham beef.
Is there a beef beef? I didn't know that.
I know the beef North versus South.
We've done this. We beef in a comedy.
It's a Wendy's.
You go out to a comedy show.
There should be nobody there beefing.
No, it's the craziest cast of characters.
You just the worst people from every walk of life, like the worst person
you can imagine from each setting.
Yeah. Like locally, it's just one got one representative from each.
What the fuck are we fighting about?
All right. It's like being in a spider versus like you see him.
You all like any motherfuckers all like me.
They're all crazy.
She said, I want to I want to meet the Birmingham version of Brandon.
I mean, somehow worse because it's very
that'll be great. Tell me a story.
Even I look at my day.
I am. I met his match, dude.
Like I didn't grow up in the hood, man.
I grew up in the jungle. So, oh, OK.
I got raped by animals.
Not me. I was about to open a universe.
Yes. OK, Brandon.
Wink wink.
Why the fuck I wink with you?
Oh, yeah.
Only once, man.
Only once.
What you get it.
Only. Yeah.
Well, yeah, we did have one incident that I think about in second grade.
Oh, was it animal?
Yeah, it was like a dog, man.
I remember I was just getting over my fear.
And then my friend showed me a backyard.
He's like, hey, man, here come my dog.
I was like, hell yeah.
And the dog liked me too, too much.
It jumped on my ass, tried to rape me.
My friend, he was trying to beat it with a stick. Get off my friend.
And I'm getting raped.
It was fucked up. My sad ass.
It's horrible shit, man.
It was a child child. His name was Badger.
He was bad. Child childs are mean as hell.
OK, now I'm with you. Badger trying to badger into me.
He penetrated? No.
No. You said you got raped.
And I had my clothes. He was trying.
He kept. And I was like trying to get you.
But I couldn't do shit. Big ass dog.
My friend couldn't do shit either.
So how long?
It was like a minute or two until we were like.
And nobody helped me.
Except my friend that couldn't do shit.
And you're walking home, seeing that fucking kid yelling for help.
Child child.
He said a minute or two.
He got paid. You got paid by.
I got nothing, dude.
That's fucked up, man.
Yeah, that is fucked up, Brandon.
I'm sorry, man.
God. That's why I stand up whenever a big dog come up.
Fuck that pit bull doing.
But that makes sense.
But where did the fear of cats come from?
You've come a long way in a short amount of time.
Oh, yeah, I love cats now.
Throw up the picture of Brandon with a cat.
I love them, man.
But my fear of cats because I'm not used to cats.
I haven't really seen a cat. Never held one.
I don't know what they do.
When I hold them, I was scared.
Like, what if he jumped on my face? I don't know.
I know. All I know is they got hype.
And if something got hype, that kind of fucks with me a little bit.
Like when I saw a mouse, I was like hold up.
This nigga run up my leg. I don't know.
That's what I'm worried about.
The hype.
Well, you should be worried about, dude.
Horses, bro. Horses.
I saw this firsthand recently.
Horses fuck people up, dude.
So my girlfriend, she liked riding horses and shit.
So she went out to this farm and it was a horse she used to own.
But now somebody else bought it, but they're cool.
So she rides it. OK.
And it was a we went out there and she was bringing them down this hill
to where these jumps are and shit.
They like jump. It's real picturesque.
You know, it looks like fucking Lisa Frank, Trapper Keeper.
And she she got on the horse and I go to sit down
and I pull out my phone because I'm an asshole.
I guess I hear something.
I look up, I just sat down.
She is horizontal to the ground, like seven feet in the air,
slams into the fucking earth.
The horse is running.
The horse got spooked by something.
So he like dropped his shoulder, but then bucked up and flung her up.
And she hit the ground.
It looked like Brock Lesnar had F5 her because her body was spinning
like helicopter blades.
Yeah. And she fucking slammed into the earth.
And I went over there to try to help her.
And she got up and she was like, fuck off, dude.
We got to go get this horse.
And I was like, oh, damn, that's tough.
Soldier, right?
I got never fucking with her.
She is crazy.
Oh, yeah.
I will never get on a horse just because I saw it.
It was crazy to got ragdolled plummeted.
That's so hard as fuck.
But she got right back up.
And you did the horse fall?
No, the horse didn't fall. He just ran off.
OK. And then we had to go find him.
And it was I mean, he's a white horse.
So you see him easy. But it was he would come back if you call.
Like when you found him.
Yeah, he was chill.
He went over to one of the other horses and was like licking them.
And I don't know what the fuck.
Damn. So it's some behavior.
I don't fuck you.
I don't know. Nobody gives a fuck.
I don't know. That's crazy.
That's why I took Superman out.
Christopher Reeves, a horse.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
That's how he was paralyzed.
Now, for some reason, I thought you were talking about in the movie.
I'm like, how the fuck does a horse kill?
I thought of John Wick for a second.
I don't know why the fuck. I heard Reeves.
Yeah, I heard Reeves.
You said Chris Real.
Like, yeah, Chris Real. OK.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Yep. Thank God.
Did y'all see John Wick 4, man?
No, I haven't seen.
I just started rewatching all of them on Netflix.
They don't have four on there, right?
That's the newest. That's the newest one.
So I just rewatched one and two and I'm on three now.
I think I've seen them.
I mean, I definitely seen one and two.
I'm pretty sure I've seen three, but I don't know if I've seen four.
I love John Wick, dude.
It's such like a brain dead movie you can watch.
Just throw it on.
And it's cool enough to where it's acceptable because like you can make fun
of people for watching some movies, but John Wick is just cool enough.
Oh, come on. I mean, if you were looking for an action flick.
Yeah. You just don't have to pay attention to it.
The story isn't that complex.
Yeah. So you just watch it and Keanu Reeves is shooting somebody
and he's got nunchucks and then he's hitting somebody with a car
and a dog comes in and there's an explosion.
Dude, it's fucking awesome. Fucking beautiful.
I love it.
You know, I watched it tonight.
You never seen them? Never.
Any of them? Never seen any of them.
Dude, we should have a movie night.
We do need to have one.
We watch all the John Wicks. Hell yeah.
That would take forever.
It would take a long time.
You know, my old ass be knocked the fuck out.
After one and a half.
You know, one thing I just saw that.
I know you know, Don.
Blazing Saddles. Oh, yeah, that's really good.
And I saw that last night for my first time, man.
Fucking amazing.
You're talking about going for it.
Talking about going for it. That was risky, but dude, perfect.
Perfect. Have you seen it?
Blazing Saddles. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's where the Hitler.
I was like, where the fuck? That's from his other movie.
That was a cameo.
That's what's up, man.
Yeah. That's what comedy is right there.
Blazing Saddles, because people used to say it's like the funniest
movie of all time, and I didn't see it till probably, you know, ten years ago.
And then I'm like, for me, that's not that long.
But I didn't see it till like ten years ago.
And I'm like, oh, my God, this movie is crazy.
Yeah. Still, especially now watching it now.
I'm going to try to cancel like a whole bunch of dead people in the movie.
It's a different time. But it's but it's perfect.
I mean, it's a great movie.
It's making fun. People need to understand.
It's making fun of the situation and that. Yeah.
But that's it. That's that's a great movie.
I'm glad you watched that. I love all those, man.
Like, I really like the interview.
Oh, yeah. I really like Team America, World Police.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Love that shit, man.
Matt Damon sucks and Ben Affleck's gay.
I love that.
I just love it, dude.
I wish people still took risks like that.
Like nobody's going to make a movie about like Russia, Ukraine.
No, you know, nobody's going to make a comedy movie about that.
Saturday Night Live might one day be.
Fuck, no.
I think maybe it's going to take some.
I mean, the closest thing we got is the interview.
But you got to think about it like Chappelle show.
He was making those skits about what was going on in like real time.
Yeah. Everything.
And now we just kind of we do it in terms of politics.
But if anything sensitive, like
you're not going to see a fucking Israel Palestine SNL sketch, you know.
Now it's I think but I think that's not going to want to pick sides,
but you don't need to pick sides and make fun of everybody.
Make fun of everybody.
Anybody get it.
Because you don't make fun anybody, then that's a little discrimination
towards the person that you're not joking on.
Thank you. Why the fuck you not joking on me?
Brandon's dropping fucking gems.
God damn it.
That Bud Light's kicking in.
Oh, yeah. Like if everybody was joking on one person,
if this dude was joking to everybody except for me, I'd be like,
what the fuck's wrong with me?
Like, that's what I'd be saying.
Just because you wrote that bust on me, you can't get jokes on.
Exactly. Yeah. Brandon knows better than everybody.
Hell yeah.
My mom didn't trust buses. She'd take me there personally.
She was like, fuck the bus.
Which bus were you supposed to be on?
I think the normal one.
No, I'm OK. I hope no.
Hell yeah. Hell yeah, man.
I mean, I helped load somebody on a small one once.
I was like, you need some help up there.
Let me help you up in there.
Because you're a good guy. Hell yeah, I'm a good man.
Hell yeah. Hell yeah.
So we went out after the show, right?
You had to go to work so you didn't come.
Brandon didn't come.
Well, we went to Moody Mondays.
We get there.
It's me, Alex Z, Jake, and then two of my friends. Right.
I go. We were in there for about an hour.
I go up to sing karaoke. Come back. It's karaoke bar.
Come back. My friend goes up to sing.
And I'm like, the waitress goes up and she's like, we have to stop everything.
Everybody has to get out.
And we're like, what the fuck?
You know what I'm saying? It's like 12 o'clock.
What is open till two?
And then my boy who was up on stage, he's like, no, we really have to leave.
She said as a bomb threat. Oh, damn.
So they called a fucking bomb threat in the Moody Goddamn Mondays.
If you know it, it's like a it's like a dive karaoke bar
with maybe 30 people in it.
It's not the classiest establishment. No, it's not.
Not a place that you should be calling bomb threats into. Yeah.
But what time was it?
This was like at probably like at 12 something.
So we all went outside and they were like, OK, we'll just have the cops sweep it.
They they swept it real quick, made us go like a fucking far, like
100, couple hundred feet.
And then they came and swept.
We got to come back in.
But my theory is somebody just broke up with their girl, right?
She's on Snapchat or something along that Moody's.
He's like, you ain't getting nothing if I get no pussy.
So bomb this bitch up.
You know what? That was good.
I love that shit.
I'm honestly there's like a 50 50 shot that that's the case.
Like, I really think that's a possibility.
I think it's a strong boss or talent.
Oh, it might have been Alan.
They could have been. You never know.
Alan, I know you're watching this man.
That's fucked up, dude. It's real fucked up.
Shout out, Alan.
I love you, Alan.
They did fuck you over about that paintball gun.
And then we know you invented it.
We know it couldn't convince us any other one.
Yeah, it couldn't convince us any other.
Oh, shit. I love it, man.
Oh, speaking of disgruntled people, we got our first.
I don't know if this person is fucking with us.
I said YouTube comments. Oh, yeah.
So so so like we put up shorts about the flat earth thing.
He was like, do you guys know that the earth is as flat?
You know, that's how they measure it, because I said something about
that they got to have the equation and get in outer space.
It's like it's measured flat.
And I'm like, and I'm like, we don't deal with facts around here at clown college.
We're making a joke. He's like, answer my question.
Oh, do you know the world is flat?
And I'm like, and I'm just fucking with him.
You know, I'm just going back and forth with him.
And I'm just like, I'm like, I'm like, yeah, man.
He's like, I don't understand what you're saying.
Is the you know, the world's flat and I'm like, we're retarded.
You know what I'm saying? We're slow.
We don't really you know what I'm saying?
And then he's like, I don't find your whom you your shit's funny.
You're trying to spread misinformation.
This is a person who thinks the world is flat saying we're trying to spread
misinformation on a comedy.
It's like, yeah, but you can't hide the truth behind your shitty joke.
I don't know. It's just weird.
Who the fuck cares?
I was thinking like arguing about all this shit that does not matter.
They can't. They can't.
They care, dude.
And I don't know if this person's fucking with me.
I don't know.
And like I was started talking about a loose sheet, a loose
in trigonometry or geometry.
Who the fuck knows what? No.
What does that mean?
That's what I know.
Nobody actually knows what that means.
First of all, what do you think I did?
I googled the shit out of it.
I know you said, yeah, the earth is actually in a lip.
So like, OK, when I saw that, GBT, I was laughing so hard
because I just pictured your voice.
You like, well, that's because we're retarded.
The fuck is an ellipsoid, dude?
I have the Google circle.
Why do we have to complicate this?
It's a sphere. Yeah, exactly.
I mean, but this person clearly believed that the earth was flat.
And then I got to the end.
I was like I was like he was like, no, you're trying to spread misinformation.
The world's flat.
And then I'm like, it's like it's not fucking flat.
It's it's in a dome.
You fucking dumbass.
No, it's half.
Well, I think that's what they believe.
I'm pretty sure they believe flat earthers because they found out,
you know, it's easy to find out it's not fucking flat.
Right. But and then they were like, no, it's actually in a dome.
That's why they have this whole fucking thing.
They really believe that shit.
I have friends who believe
I have friends who believe a lot.
I thought flat earthers would be good salt of the earth people, you know.
I didn't know that they were in the science.
I thought they were more like Amish.
And I was I'm very disappointed to know that they're just nerds
that think there is this fucking flag.
Yeah. And get mad at you like this.
Ain't NBC. It's not like the whole world.
Oh, shit. I can't believe Dom said that.
If you are listening to this podcast to get any question answered,
you're not like tune out.
Please don't take everything we say serious.
You can.
I mean, you can.
Any rational person who will watch this, but they clearly don't have a clue.
And they're just trying to be funny.
And we're just joking.
But I love it. I'm not going to lie to you.
I had a great time this morning.
Yeah, you replied a lot.
I replied a lot. You put effort in it.
That was funny, man.
If you would have said something else, I would have replied again.
You are researching the shape of the earth in real time to respond to this.
I love it.
If you guys want it, you guys can even be trolling.
That might also be Alan.
Honestly, that might be Alan as well.
It could be.
I mean, what put a pastor.
Oh, Alan.
He's going to see it.
He's a real wild card, that guy.
And he going to pull out that cane and beat us with it.
He's like, what the boom.
I trip Alan on that.
On the first whip.
Nice slip.
I thought he did it.
Oh, yeah, you were right.
Nice slip, Alan.
Nice slip.
That's how weird it's like, man.
Oh, shit.
I'm not going to lie.
I triggered myself when I said wild card, dude, after I just watched the Jacksonville
Jaguars get demolished by the five wind titans.
To get into, man.
To get into, dude.
Better luck next year.
It's we deserve it, dude.
Like, it's just like you got to you got to win those games
against a shitty team, even though the shitty teams playing, you know, teams
people think like, oh, I want them to get a worse draft pick.
They're playing. They got to put them on tape.
A lot of them ain't going to be on that team next year.
Yeah. And so but you had to lose a game like that.
Like it's my games going on right now.
I'm a Packers fan and we're playing the Bears and the Bears
have been looking good the last couple of weeks.
We're probably about
15 minutes into the Packers game and watch out.
I'm going to go out there and I'm going to push his glasses.
They take the time.
Yeah, my contacts are fucking up.
I had to put on my studious glasses.
You want to match Scott today?
I say you want to match today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Got the glass.
There is a striking resemblance between you and our guest.
You just got to be bald.
The the great Scott Easton, he's getting there.
Oh, yeah. I keep on saying I think I just said his name wrong.
Yeah, I'm going to say it.
I'm going to say it wrong when we're on here on accident.
I want you to know it's not.
I just said Easton is Easton.
Easton, Scott Easton, Scott Easton.
I fucked that up. There's no tea.
I know, but I'm a fool. I know I'm a fuck it up.
It's OK, man.
I probably won't say his name, but he's one of the.
Scott. Yeah, just Scott.
Yeah, he's one of the founding fathers of Huntsville.
Oh, gee, the OG of the scene.
I think there's what I think they say four or six.
And he's one of them that's still going.
And he's fucking hilarious.
Yeah, funny as hell.
Really, dude, this dude, so he's so quick.
Like he's so quick. His material is good.
I think you guys going.
I think it's going to be a good episode.
He's going to talk a lot of shit.
Good roaster. Yeah.
I think he's going to talk a lot of shit in here.
I should have wrote some roast down for him.
But I didn't.
You know, watch some clips.
Oh, yeah. Let's do it.
Clip of the week.
Go in a way,
the recent found out what race play for one was.
And if you don't know, it's like when white women say
the N word in various types of ways.
And I'm into it.
So if any of you guys want to say any ladies in here, you know, I won't tell.
I like how that joke goes from I'm into a weird type of porn.
White women say the N word.
That's the that's the track it goes on.
It's hilarious, dude.
Appreciate it. Appreciate it.
Because I was literally thinking,
well, first of all, I found this on Twitter.
OK, just want to be transparent.
It's nice.
I thought it was only like one bit because of one video rotating around.
And then the way she says it, like her lip comes up and I'm like,
why am I why am I turned on by this?
And it was true evil.
And then I was like, he was like, this shit popped up on my time
and then he's like, it's a whole thread of that was like, hold on.
There's more. Oh, shit.
I found out there was an isolated occurrence.
This is a thing.
It's a big established institution.
That's funny. I can see it now.
You like, wait, hold up now.
Yeah, like this shit.
I was like, so it's been it has been my thing for the past couple of months.
Crazy, dude.
You know, it's really crazy. The rock hard.
Hey, man, dude, whatever works works.
When you were watching when you were going up,
you know, you had Rick Flair's retirement match, like back there.
And what's weird about it, of course, I didn't know this is fucking 2006.
When the last match like last year, how the fuck would I know?
Am I? Well, you don't know.
You're you're alone.
And well, you know what?
His recent match was like, what was it?
Twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two. He's like 90.
I know. He's like 90.
He was bloody as fuck that man.
I was like, well, not as bloody as of course, but he was.
What was worse? It didn't look good.
No, it was bad. Yeah, it was rough.
Was that worse than his Kill Tony appearance?
No, that was they said they cut a lot of that shit out.
Oh, and that was if you will watch Rick Flair's Kill Tony, it is painful.
Yeah. But it's so funny after he leaves, how ruthless Louis J.
Gomez and fucking Mark Norris.
Mark Norman is so good. He's so he doesn't give a fuck what he says.
He does not give a fuck.
He's talking about his dead son and then Mark instantly goes to that shit.
It was good to fuck.
It's hard. It's hard to watch, dude.
It's so incredibly hard to watch.
Yeah, because it's kind of on Rick Flair a little bit because he went on Kill Tony.
Yeah. He must have not did his research for you.
But I think it's of course, we're afraid of the fuck.
Kill Tony, but it's like it's more on Tony.
I think Tony knows that, too.
He should I don't think he completely explained what it was.
And Rick Flair was fucked up.
It wasn't like he was sober. He was fucked up.
So I think that's more on Tony. Yeah, that's more on Tony.
You got you got to explain what you're going to kill.
Tony, you got to explain to somebody in depth and what you're going to.
You're about to harass these people. Yeah.
Come up here. We're going to try to make them pay.
These people come up here. We're going to try to make them kill themselves.
He said, yeah, see, I've seen a couple where I was like, God damn Tony, you'd have to go.
Yeah. But he's a big Russell and fans.
So he's probably just very excited, man.
He's so cool. I guess he's man.
It's got to be like his hero.
Yeah. You know, I mean, it's OG.
But, you know, yeah, everybody ain't meant for that stage right there
because he's fucking people up and people were people were shitty.
I think it was the whole thing.
The comics that came up there didn't do good minutes.
And wasn't talking to him well.
So, you know, Tony loves to get on these guys and Rick wasn't having it.
One thing I won't do.
Is take anybody's time.
I won't have nobody give me their time and I fuck with what he's
have no idea what he was even talking about.
He didn't either. I don't think he did.
He fully Biden down.
I am. All right.
Well, we got here. All right.
Go.
And now to some.
Some guys take their girls to dinner and the show.
I take my girl to dinner and I am.
You might think I'm a good person, but I'm not.
It's really narcissistic.
You know, no, don't worry.
This won't be the only short, disappointing performance I give her tonight.
Bless her soul, man.
Sometimes it's real, not good.
I hope everybody had a good day.
Oh, yeah, man.
So I had to pull that one up because, you know, she doesn't come out to all the
mics. So it's good to have that that clip.
But that's the time. That's the set right there.
It's the beginning of his 10 minute set.
And you heard the crowd pop right there.
And it doesn't do anything but get so much louder throughout all of his jokes.
This is first joke.
Got the crowd hooked and then didn't let him go.
Fuck good.
Sick of you so much to apply to get your little closet.
Yeah.
Always got to go with the self-deprecation, dude.
And if if you have something like that, if somebody come comes and is watching
you like I'll get nervous if somebody I know is coming to watch me.
But if I pointed out and it doesn't feel like, oh, I'm hiding something up there,
like it makes me feel more comfortable.
Like, just don't be afraid.
Like that was something I took from Ty in the last episode when we had him on.
Where he was like, don't be afraid to address shit that happens
while you're up on the stage.
So that was something I mean, I knew it was going to happen,
but I wanted to address it. Yeah.
So I it's more just like I felt like before I had to write down these jokes
and say them in this specific way, but to make them adaptable to the situation.
And always with my opener, I usually wait till I get wherever I'm going
to figure out what I'm going to say.
So, yeah, yeah, that's good shit.
I'm trying to learn from you, man,
because that shit was not that I was perfect.
That was like a special tour.
It was a perfect thing.
He's a project. My 10 minute special.
Yeah. Tell you, man, do you add them going crazy?
You could have put that out, especially with that room.
Didn't let low any record it. Yeah, because I get it. Yeah. Yeah.
Shout out. Just let alone Justin Ledlow, dude.
He'll be on that OG.
He's I think he's we do need to get him on.
Yeah, he founded Epic Comedy.
Yeah, he founded Epic Comedy Hour, which is our biggest show.
Like it's what people I got on Epic if you're from Huntsville. Right. Yeah.
Yeah. It's like been running since 2011.
It's a long time.
That is. Oh, yeah.
And Scott today is the runner of it now.
Yeah. He became a producer on the show just like a few months
after it started or something like that, like super early on.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
But that's good shit.
I had to I had to throw that in there because you start fucking frowning
like this. So I'll show that.
I'm a big man. It's good.
I. But when it when when they're messaging in the group,
comedy group message, God, J.J. fucking murder, murder, multiple people.
What does that mean? I must have been murdered.
Thank you, Brad. Thank you.
So I guess it's like you can't go to a killer and be like John Wayne Gacy.
You ain't killing people. And he's like, yes, the fuck I did.
I love it.
Brandon Slaymore. Yeah. OK. OK. Hold on.
What I'm trying to tell you here, Brandon, we're I'm about to go over there
and cut your mind. I know this is just I just OK.
So what's going on is people like, man, he just killed a kid.
You know, I didn't kill the kid. Yes, the fuck you did.
You killed it. You murdered. Amazing.
Hey, you know, they should.
Hey, this is so worse.
Hey, now we just need one of y'all to do good.
So we can turn the tables on you.
That was good. I had to do it.
That was that was good.
No, but dude, nobody killed on Friday.
So it was a it when I looked out there, though, the people were like smiling.
Yeah. And shit. But they weren't making noise.
It was Saturday night late show.
You think they were already fucked up?
They just went nonverbal.
I mean, they really like the roast part.
Yes. They lit up on the roast.
Yeah. Roast the Chantica.
That was good.
I got that like when I was waiting to go up, I was looking out like,
I can add the credo saying, let me add that shit.
Because I looked at you, I'm like, historic teacher.
He is a teacher. Good idea.
What was your roast?
Oh, I said that he produces a secret comedy show in Huntsville called Don't
Tell, which is ironically the same thing he says to his students
after they do their extra credit assignment.
And I wrote that because I thought we were doing like a like roast roast.
But everybody else before me said pretty like tame jokes.
Like Jake said, he had a pirate name and was like went silly with it.
What does he look like? Nation of his one.
He said that right off the back.
He opened with Nation of that one.
The opening comic, Jonathan Muhammad Silver.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, that was good.
I think I said I was like, yeah, he has the height of an NBA player
and the athletic ability athletic ability of Stephen Hawking.
That was a good one. That was a good one.
And Jake hit him with the pirate shit.
Leanne fucked his ass up.
Talking about him being in those advertisements and shit.
Yeah, she went she went hard.
And then Kim, we already talked about that.
Yeah. What did you hit him?
You hit him with that.
I said the first one was I say look like Kratos and he was a historian teacher.
Then I went around and said he looked like every UFC fighter like Tom Zot.
And he had a big daggiest and then after that, I was like,
look like the green giant in the last one was Frosted Snowman during the summertime.
Oh, shit. That's it.
I got that from J.
Ghost and I was like, yeah, that is like I was singing a frosty.
I'm like, summertime frosty be a little burnt. Right.
But what what rose did Jonathan hit you with?
Oh, damn. Yeah.
I can't remember.
For me, he said it looked like one of my parents playing 9-11
and the other one playing January 6th.
He said I look like a school shooter from James Jones.
You know what's funny?
The first time I ever came to Shenanigans to watch a show,
I remember I was watching and the person caught me
when I was just like smiling, not laughing.
And that comedian said the exact same thing.
They're like, you see that school shooter with the backpack back there?
Who said that to you?
I don't know who the fuck that was.
I really don't. Like I haven't seen.
I don't know. It's been a while.
It's been a while. I haven't seen him come back.
But I'm like, damn, you might be right.
All right, guys, we'll see you in a minute. All right.
This week's featured comedian.
Here's what I like to do now.
I like to get high and I like to imagine what kind of studio killer I would be.
It's fun.
I picked out victims and everything.
First group of people I would like to murder.
Anyone that has a 75 to 25 percent gum to tooth ratio.
If you got big gums and little teeth, you're a fucking abomination.
I can't see everybody.
A couple of people in here right now are like.
It's you. I'll fucking kill you.
Tomorrow at work, they'll be like, where's big gums at?
You're dead. Fucking dead.
Gingivitis, got you.
That's what I see.
What I'm feeling is gingivitis.
Second group of people I would like to murder.
People that don't have a chin.
You ever met somebody with a chin before?
I was a little guy.
I'm like, how you fold your sheets, bro?
How do you put your pillows in the pillow cases?
Motherfucker. You do that.
Fucking monster.
Can't have you out here breathing all that shit air.
That's for me.
Can I smoke weed in here?
Yeah, yeah.
I smoke cigarettes in here.
What do you in my life? Weed?
Anybody smoke weed?
Yeah, weed.
You want some?
Yeah.
Oh, man, you're fired.
You're destroying his equipment, Brandon.
You're fired.
We went outside of the shop one time and we were throwing a football.
Oh my God, to watch this man catch a football.
Oh no.
Yeah, it's horrible.
It's a sight to behold.
Hell yeah. Are you special needs?
A little bit.
Actually, I'm a little bit.
I'm glad we're getting into this right out of the ass.
Hell yeah.
I've had that question for forever.
I'm glad you can own that.
Yes, I will.
Hell yeah.
That's hilarious.
So we got somebody here.
Yeah. Very special guest.
Oh, are we doing it?
Oh yeah, we're on right now.
What I just said wasn't on there, was it?
Don't put that in there.
It all stays there.
Oh, it's there.
It's fine.
I said it the good way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was the best way to do it.
It was the best way.
The lesser of two evils.
It was, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The difference?
Word. Progress.
No, today we have a very, very special guest.
One of the godfathers of Huntsville comedy.
He produces a show called Epic Comedy Hour.
Yes, the best.
You can check him out on Instagram, Facebook,
all that good stuff.
Multi-talented, like a lot of our guests, musically inclined.
He's a member of the Beastie Goys.
That is correct.
We'll get into that and we'll get into that.
But today we have Scott Easton.
Hey!
Hello.
Yeah, hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
What's up, man?
Thanks for coming.
Of course.
Thank you for having me.
I'm honored to be here with all of you young people.
I ain't that young.
I wasn't talking to you, man.
Yeah.
I'll speak to you when I'm speaking to you.
I love it.
So you're one of the forefathers of the Huntsville scene,
right?
Yeah.
Which one are you?
George Washington?
Man, I don't know.
So I'll just give you the background real quick.
Maybe this might answer some of the questions you may have.
But when I wanted to do comedy,
when a lot of us did, back in the day,
there was no comedy here in Huntsville.
There was nothing.
We didn't have a single open mic.
We didn't have anything.
We had a comedy club here once that burned down in 1990.
It was Insurance Frog.
It was on North Parkway.
And it burned down.
It was called, it was a very good name, it was super unique.
It was called The Comedy Club.
Yeah.
V.
And it burned down.
And we didn't have any comedy.
Like there was nothing.
So yearly, like Seinfeld might come here
and go to the VBC or out in the arsenal.
The Officers Club might bring in a comic or something like that.
But civilians can't go to that.
So it's like comedy was non-existent.
And really, in Alabama as a whole,
like Birmingham had the Stardome,
which has been open since 1983 as a comedy club.
But they didn't really have much
of an independent scene either.
And Nashville was nowhere near what it is now.
Even then, Nashville was kind of like
a burgeoning comedy scene.
Even though Zanies has been there forever.
But one good comedy club does not a scene make.
Like you need the things around it.
And it's like those things weren't really happening
at the time.
And the South, really, besides those clubs in like Atlanta
with their scene and things like that,
there really wasn't much going on in the South.
So we just didn't get a lot of comedy traffic down here,
period, just because it was, you know,
people still had that whole notion of like,
oh, fucking rednecks down the South.
We don't wanna go down there.
And it's like.
I had that notion.
Yeah, of course, everybody does.
That doesn't live here.
And I wanna say from the bottom of my heart, fuck you.
Exactly.
So at the time when I wanted,
I always thought I wanted to do comedy,
but I had the ultimate excuse of never having to try it
because it wasn't anywhere here in town.
And then finally, I met a couple other like-minded people
that wanted to do comedy and it was the same thing.
It was like, well, there's no really to do it.
And I was like, okay.
I actually started performing, period,
when I'm doing spoken word.
Like I was doing spoken word poetry and shit like that.
But would you do comedy when you were doing it?
No.
No, you would rarely do spoken word.
Oh, I was sad.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, I had some sad boy shit, but you know.
He's multi-dimensional.
It was the time.
It was very of the time.
And finally, there's a bar in town called Chips and Salsa,
still open, it's on South Parkway.
They announced that they were going to do
a open mic comedy contest sponsored by WZYP,
hosted by Mojo, who Mojo still works as ZYP.
He's a radio morning personality.
I said radio morning personality,
I meant morning radio personality.
Damn, I shouldn't have spoiled all that shit.
He's my baseball coach.
What?
He's my baseball coach. Mojo was?
No shit.
Small fucking world.
Hell yeah.
So Chips and Salsa is hosting this open mic contest
and this is 2009.
And I'd never done comedy before
and my friends were like, you always talk all this shit.
You gotta do it.
So they signed me up for the contest.
And I went to the contest.
I invited my family, my friends, everyone.
And then I bombed horribly.
They turned my mic off.
Oh, really?
Yeah, well, because I thought I'd never done anything before.
So I thought, well, let me write about an experience
I recently had and that was an experience
in New York with bestiality.
Now here's, I wasn't participating.
Don't get the wrong idea.
But anyway, I had seen an act of bestiality
in New York City and I wrote seven minutes of jokes about it
and people were not prepared for that.
And I bombed real bad to the point my wife was like,
please don't ever do that again.
Oh damn.
My friends, everybody was like, it was bad.
But Mojo came up to me afterwards and was like,
man, that was awful.
I was like, thanks.
And he was like, but you were really good on stage.
Like he's like, I don't, you know, the content,
get rid of that shit.
Like write better jokes, but like you were very natural
on stage, like you should try it again.
And I was like, I don't know.
And he was like, I'm gonna sign you up.
You're signing up for next month
because we're doing it again next month.
You know, I won't take no for an answer.
I was like, okay, fine.
So for a month, I just sweated.
And here's the thing.
I was like, nope, Mike, there was nothing.
So I was like, I'm doing raw material.
In a month, I wrote, you know, five or six minutes
that I thought was really good.
And I went back the next month.
Nobody came this time.
My wife, family, nobody, but to a full bar, I won.
I won the contest.
Oh shit.
And I was like, okay.
And he was like, I told you.
And then I found out that the winner of the contest,
not that I won 50 bucks, but then in two days time,
because this was a Thursday on Saturday night,
I had to open for two touring comedians at Chips and Salsa.
And they were like, you got 15 minutes, right?
And I was like, sure.
So I, yeah.
So I didn't sleep for the next 48 hours
and just wrote jokes.
And then I ended up doing about 14 minutes.
And I did, and watching it now,
because I have the tape, no one will ever see it.
I played it one time at a show
because it was like a throwback show,
but nobody will ever see this tape.
But I didn't do bad.
People laughed, I got a lot of laughs.
But looking back now, it makes me want to kill myself.
Like it was terrible.
It was like really bad.
Let us get a little clip to insert right now.
Absolutely not.
Well a little to get a little piece of it.
Put it this way, none of the jokes that I said that night
I don't think have ever been said again.
There's a couple.
Oh, I'll give you a sample.
This is, again, this is, we're talking my third time
on stage ever, and this all happened
inside of a month.
Never done comedy before.
What was it?
15 minutes, that's crazy.
I had a joke.
I was talking, I definitely talked about pubic hair.
I was talking about the length of women's pubic hair,
of course, because why not?
And I definitely, I think I compared my wife's pubic hair
to a Tempur-Pedic mattress.
It was like, it's so thick when I lay down on it,
it just goes.
And then when I get up, it comes right back to shape.
I was like, I'm glad you like that.
And then I said something like, eating a hairy pussy
is like eating watermelon.
You take a bite and then you gotta go.
Terrible.
Love it, I don't know what you're talking about.
Love it.
Thank you, thank you.
But what sticks out to me, that third time
now that I was opening for these people,
and their names were Mel Fine, a female comic
that was touring the South a lot at the time,
and her big joke was, she was kinda bigger,
so her big joke was she looked like a bust of can of biscuits.
That was her big, big joke.
And then another guy who, his name escapes me right now,
but he's still in comedy.
He actually runs a record label out of Kentucky,
if I'm not mistaken.
Anyway, my father-in-law was there,
and I did a 9-11 joke too.
I can't remember the 9-11 joke, it was dumb.
But of course, just edgelord bullshit.
That's not how I did a 9-11 joke.
And my father-in-law came up to me after,
and this is like 14 minutes,
I talked about his daughter's pussy
and all kinds of stuff, and he walked up
and he looked kinda angry, and I was like,
oh no, is he gonna be mad?
I talked about his daughter's snout or something like that.
And then he was like, don't you ever fucking tell
a 9-11 joke again.
I was like, okay, yes sir.
He's a vet.
But he's like, he's a dude.
He forgot his daughter's pussy.
He did not forget the worst tragedy in American history.
Yeah.
Never forget.
So that was 2009, and then literally the next day after that,
they canceled comedy at Chips and Salsa
because the ABC board came in and said
that your liquor license does not zone you
for live entertainment.
So they could not do comedy anymore.
And that was like, they had plans, like monthly shows,
and I was like, okay, well now I really like this
and I wanna continue to do it.
And then there was nothing.
And then the best thing you could do
was drive to Nashville and you could do an open mic
and you could get 90 seconds after driving two hours.
90 seconds.
Or you could go to Birmingham and try to do a mic
at the Stardome back when they had it there,
and that was like Vietnam.
It was the worst ever.
And it was like two minutes and just fucking hot trash.
So it was just like the juice wasn't worth the squeeze.
It was really difficult, especially back then,
because it wasn't, like, Congress will get in the car now
and drive fucking four hours for no money
and do five minutes.
But back then I was like, that's insane.
I'm not gonna do that.
So it just kinda took a back seat,
but I continued to like write jokes
because it was like I kinda, you know, I enjoyed it.
So I was still writing jokes.
And then there's still nothing going on.
And then I met Justin Ledlow.
And Justin.
Shout out.
Justin has just moved back to Huntsville,
but Justin actually worked at the company
my brother manages.
So I met Justin through my brother.
Justin was doing improv and Justin was like,
yeah, I like standup.
And I was like, dude, I like standup too.
And he was like, yeah, I'd actually talked to a couple
people, said you were really funny.
I was like, thank you.
And he was like, I'm thinking about
putting on a comedy show.
And I was like, oh, that would be cool.
Like I would, you know, I'd be super interested.
And he was like, okay.
And then what I didn't know at the time
is like some other improvisers and a couple other people
that Justin knew who I would later meet,
like they were in the same mindset
where they wanted to do comedy too.
So Justin put together the very first Epic Comedy Hour
in July of 2011 at the Low Mill.
And I cannot, I attended the show,
but I cannot, I wasn't on the show, that first one.
But I can't even remember who the lineup was.
But they did the show and this is like,
this is fucking 2011.
So it's like social media wasn't really a factor at the time.
It was like Justin picked a great venue in the Low Mill
and he hustled, you know, posters and the whole nine yards.
And we had about 275 people show up to the very first show.
And now looking back, like the quality of the comedy
is fucking trash.
But however, it was like, we, Justin realized like,
holy shit, like we're onto something.
Like this is crazy.
So did it again the next month
and I was on the second Epic Comedy Hour in August of 2012.
And same thing, this time it was over 300 people
came to the show a month later.
And it was like, wow, Huntsville's like
really hungry for comedy.
And like right around this time,
a couple other comedians like Tom Hand, Jonathan Craig,
and you know, it's others that if I don't mention your name,
you know who you are.
But they were out there like trying to find venues
to do open mics in and like the first open mic
that I remember we ever had in Huntsville,
comedy open mic was at Rugby's on University Drive.
It was a hell hole.
I mean, it was awful.
But we were doing shit.
Like we would go to the music open mic at Humphreys
and sign up and do comedy and they fucking hated it.
Like we would lie, they'd be like,
okay, what are you gonna do?
We're like play guitar.
They're like, where's your guitar?
They're like, it's in the car, I'll get it before I go up.
And then go up there and you can hear them be like,
oh, another fucking comedian.
They hated it to the point that finally they were like,
listen, stop doing this.
What we'll do is we'll take a break
and then we'll let you do comedy during the break time.
And we were like, okay, fine.
So that was like, we were struggling back then.
There was like nothing.
And Epic, that second month I did it
and it was just like amazing.
Yeah, I mean, it was just like the energy of 300 plus people
and it was just like,
I'd already kind of fallen in love with comedy
and then it kind of like the rug got pulled out
from under me, but now it was like, oh,
now we got this thing.
And then after August, Justin and I at this point,
we're spending a lot of time together.
And then we came back in January of 2012
and in January of 2012, we had 370 people come to the show
and I was on that show.
And then basically, I kind of was on a bunch of Epic
for like the first year and it's just like, it kept going.
It was like every month was 250, 300 people,
300, 350 people, it was crazy.
And then after the first year roughly,
about the first year anniversary,
Justin asked me and Tim Kelly because we had met Tim.
Tim's from Huntsville, but Tim went to Auburn
and Tim had come back from Auburn.
He'd started comedy in Auburn with actually a great comic
by the name of Rivers Langley.
And Tim had come back and so Tim had started
to do comedy with us and Tim was motivated
and really interested.
So Justin asked me and Tim to come on
as co-producers with him.
So I've been performing on Epic since the second show.
I've been a co-producer since basically the first anniversary
and then I've been the executive producer since 2017.
Hell yeah.
It's been, yeah.
Tim has been there with me the whole time.
We've had some co-producers come and go
and now Justin has moved back from Marietta.
So Justin kind of took a back seat
because stand-up wasn't really ever his first love.
It was improv.
But he was helping out with Epic and everything like that.
And then about right there at the sixth anniversary,
which is 2017, I had put together lineups
and everything like that.
I've been booking Epic for a very long time,
even before Justin left.
But Justin's always been great at the marketing
and the posters and things like that.
So Justin had backed out to the graphic design capacity
and then in 2017 he was like, I'm out.
I'm moving to Marietta.
And he just kind of took a step back from everything
and then I just kind of, I've run with it ever since.
Expanded it and everything like that.
Now it's a pleasure having him back.
I'm glad he's back because now he's coming back
and he's very experienced in that marketing graphic design.
So he's spearheading that for Epic Common Hour Presents
because it's not only Epic, we produce multiple shows.
And then he's also kind of pitching in
and we're trying to steer the Huntsville comedy ship
with like unified graphics and things like that.
So Justin's a real boon to the scene.
Yeah, I love how he's put out since he's been back.
In that, those first couple of years when it was,
Epic kind of was the kindling to the fire.
Like Epic was the first thing.
And then after that people are like,
oh this is totally, like wow.
There's a yearning for comedy in Huntsville
and people want to see it.
So that just caused spinoffs, like Homegrown started.
And Homegrown back then was in the low mill with us.
It was just on a different Friday.
And Homegrown has kind of morphed and done other things
but it's still hung around.
And then we had open mics at Copper Top forever,
that Wednesday at Copper Top, which honestly is,
that place made me the comic that I am.
Because that was a battle mic.
You had to fight for everything.
First time I ever had a gun pulled on me was there.
Say what happened, stop right there.
Tell us what happened there.
I say pulled, actually, let me take that back.
Not the first time one was pulled on me.
One time a gun was flashed at me
with the intent to intimidate.
I'll say that.
Because back then, Wednesday was a biker night
at Copper Top, so we did comedy on a biker night.
And one of the bikers one time got a little pissy
and moved his vest and he had a 45 right there.
Letting you know he had it.
He was like, can I use the mic?
And I was like, you can do whatever the fuck you want.
Yes.
And then he got up there and he told a terrible joke
and he was like, yeah, that's all I wanted to do.
And then he sat down and wasn't a problem.
It was weird as fuck.
But that was so. Did he get mad about a joke?
No.
He just came up there and was like,
I'm gonna tell a joke right now.
Yeah, pretty much.
Pretty much, pretty much.
It was a different time back then.
It was a different time.
But it was very, it was super exciting.
It was super exciting time because it was like,
we had literally built it from nothing.
You know what I mean?
Like there wasn't anything here
and it was just like a bunch of motivated people
thinking the same thing.
Like, we can do this.
And we did it.
We appreciate it.
All of us Young Comics, I know the ones before us.
You all pioneered it.
Yeah, because when I came here,
I'm like, Huntsville has a comedy scene,
but it's such a good comedy scene.
It's great.
It will blow people's mind, even people who live here,
if they start to come out and come and see a show.
Man, I'll tell you, because of Epic
and what we've done over the years,
Huntsville is known as a comedy city across the country.
We've been very fortunate with Epic over the years.
We've had people who have gone on to have Netflix specials,
starring films, multiple late night appearances,
stars of TV shows, like have all been on the Epic Comedy Hour
stage here in Huntsville and they know how much
the audiences appreciate comedy here.
Very smart.
They go with you on everything.
So it's like, we have a great reputation
of being a comedy city.
Like, I constantly get hit up for traveling comedians
that want to come through here to set up shows
or be on existing shows that we have.
So it's like, it's not just, we do have great comics here,
but we have great audiences here, which is great.
The funny thing is, we're really only tapping,
barely tapping the potential of Huntsville
and how many people we can get out to shows.
Because there are people still who are like,
I didn't really know we had a comedy scene like that.
Like we do.
So we're constantly trying to find ways to reach out
and get more people.
But, so we had a full functioning comedy scene.
It was great.
Like it was, we had multiple shows.
We had open mics, you know.
Like we had people contacting us when he'd set up comedy
in their venues and stuff like that.
And then I was, I'd gone up to Nashville a couple times
and performed at Zany's.
And then I get a call because of Jonathan Craig,
who now Jonathan Craig is actually
one of Jelly Roll's managers.
Yeah, he's on Jelly Roll's management team.
But Jonathan was here and Jonathan had met
some of the people with Zany's and had,
they were like, we wanna talk to Scott
and a couple other people in the Huntsville comedy scene.
And they actually invited us up to Zany's.
And we sat down with them and talked
and they were like, we're thinking about opening
a comedy club in Huntsville.
And he was like, you guys are, you know,
like whenever we hear about Huntsville,
you're the names that we hear.
So we wanna talk to you about it, see how you feel about it.
So I mean, they were the Dorfmans,
which is Andrew and Brian Dorfman
are the principal owners of Stand Up Live.
They also own Zany's in Nashville,
they're partners in multiple other clubs.
Great people and really worked with us from day one
on like, what do you wanna see in a comedy club
and how can we work with you?
So that was super encouraging that they were like,
we want to get you involved.
And it turned into something great.
Stand Up Live has been open since January 2017.
I was actually the first comic to ever perform there.
No, that's awesome.
First person to ever step foot on stage there.
The very first night was a soft opening.
It was me, Hannah Hogan and Dusty Slay.
And then the next night at the official opening,
it was me and Christopher Titus.
I did half an hour and Christopher Titus
did an hour and a half.
Damn.
On the grand opening of that.
So I was like, I've been in love with that place
since day one, they've treated me very well.
That's my home club.
Before that, I would say it was Zany's
because in the lead up before Stand Up Live opened here,
I would drive up and do weekends at Zany's a lot.
And I still love Zany's.
It's still one of the best clubs in the country.
So they've always been very, very supportive.
So sometimes people ask me, how did the club affect
the local scene?
And in my opinion, it really, it helped it.
It legitimized comedy as a whole in Huntsville
because people still think Stand Up Live is like,
and it is because of the level of talent
that they get there, but they have honestly
been so supportive.
They're my number one sponsor every year
for Epic's anniversary weekend
and they work with me on shows and all kinds of stuff.
So then we got a club in 2017 and then since then,
it's just been more comedians coming and going,
more venues and now it's like we're in a boom.
So it's like, there's a huge influx of new comics,
which I'm extremely grateful for
and a lot of new venues opening and new opportunities
and hungry people that want to collaborate and create.
So I really think right now we're in a really good spot.
I agree, I concur.
So that's kind of like, I'm leaving out a lot,
but that's kind of like a rough history of like,
Huntsville's kind of had a scene since let's say 2011, 2012
and that's what the genesis and kind of leads us
to where we are now.
Okay, you know about the,
because when you're talking about the biker bar
that you were at, we got one now,
we're on Tuesdays at Shag Nasties.
So Shag Nasties is fucking Buckingham Palace
compared to what Copper Top was back in the day.
That's what Ty was telling us about on his episode
where he had that, that was his first open mic was Copper Top.
Okay yeah, and the dude came like.
Copper Top made a lot of people quit.
Wow, I can imagine.
Well, have you ever been to Copper Top?
I have not. No.
Okay. I've performed there once.
If you go into Copper Top,
back when we were doing the mic there,
it was a shotgun bar.
You walk in the door,
it's like a little opening right up front
where the dart boards are and that's where the stage was.
So sometimes we'd have to ask the dart people
to stop throwing darts so we could like do comedy.
And then there's a bar and a couple of booths
and then that was it.
Now when you go in there,
they've purchased like two buildings next to them
and expanded into like pool rooms and darts and everything.
But back then it was just this little danky
fucking shotgun bar.
And most comedy, a lot of open mics,
and especially back then when people didn't know any better,
it's ambush comedy.
They don't know what the fuck's going on.
You go in there and all of a sudden you're setting up a PA
with a microphone and people sit at the bar
that just came to get a drink.
They're like, what the fuck's going on?
They don't give a fuck,
unless you're about to do comedy.
Some of them might be nice and turn around and be like,
oh cool, well I'll listen.
And other people, they're gonna have full conversations
or they're gonna turn around
because they're drunk and talk shit.
And just all of that happening at Copper Top times 10.
So on a Wednesday you'd have bikers,
it'd be packed with people,
and you'd just get up there and fight.
But it's such an important muscle to learn
because one of the biggest things you need to learn
in comedy is adversity, I think.
It makes you sharper.
It's like, because what you had to do
was you had to get up there
and literally you had to learn how to control the room.
It was a victory at Copper Top.
When you get in there, it's loud,
people aren't paying attention,
and then all of a sudden you can tell,
somebody tells a joke, it hits.
Next thing you know it's quiet
and you see all the heads are turned towards the stage
and you're like, that's fucking W.
And you can't learn that in soft rooms.
Some of these open mics are like good job rooms.
You know what I mean?
It's like, good job.
It's like, sometimes you don't need that.
Sometimes you do need a pad on the back,
but sometimes you just need, be like, fuck.
That was a fucking struggle.
You need to struggle.
And that taught all of us so much
that we're doing comedy at the time.
Because it was like, going to a room,
people are like, this room's tough.
And I'm like, this room ain't shit.
What are you talking about tough?
It's like, because I'd had a taste of what tough is.
Yeah, what the tough is.
So it was like, yeah.
But that mic went for nine fucking years.
It ran for nine years and it was great.
I mean, we would have, I mean, mics in there sometimes.
I mean, it would be packed.
There wouldn't be a seat.
There'd be standing room only.
People would be watching the show.
Just watching it go down.
And then there'd be another night where
the host had to punch somebody in the face.
Hell yeah.
Fuck up, Michael.
I know, yeah.
So I mean, it was fucking wild.
But I mean, it was like, it was an important tool.
Like, I, when it was still going,
when Stand Up Live first opened,
I would take a headliner.
Like, they'd have a one-off Wednesday show
and I'd be on the show and then the headliner's like,
what are you doing now?
I'm like, I'm gonna go to this open mic.
And he was like, oh, I'll go.
I haven't been to an open mic in forever.
And then they would go and they'd sit
in the back of the room and they would say to me like,
how do y'all do this, man?
This is fucking crazy.
And I'm like, what do you mean?
Like, you know, I was like, what do you mean?
And that's, you have to realize like,
these people don't open mic, you know?
Like, headliners aren't really open micing.
It's very rare.
They just show, show, show.
Yeah, it's just, dude.
Take somebody like Segura, Aziz Ansari, anybody.
They do a club tour to open mic their shit.
They're not gonna slum it and like, go do a, you know,
go do a fucking open mic.
No, Tom Segura can get paid $20,000 a show
to literally go through his notebook
to find out what's good, to then take to an arena
and then record it for Netflix.
These people aren't doing shit like that.
Some of these guys, they do club tours
because they're working out new material.
So it's like the idea of being in this fucking bar
with a bunch of rowdy fucking strangers trying to tell jokes.
They're like, fuck, I'm like, do you wanna go up there?
Like, fuck no.
It's a fucking Lutely knot.
But it's funny because I've been in those situations too
where I've taken a headliner with me to a different show,
like not even here in Huntsville, in other places.
Like, I opened for Mark Norman at Zany's
and Mark's great.
And he is, like, he'll get on stage anywhere.
If there's a stage, he'll get up on it.
That's one thing I love about him.
He is fucking like, he's a stage maniac.
So we had the early shows
and then the late shows were a podcast at Zany's.
So it was like after the early show ended,
about nine o'clock, I could go do other spots in Nashville
and there were other spots to do.
So I could literally go open for him
and then do two or three other spots that night.
And he's like, where are you going?
And I was like, I've got other spots.
He was like, ooh, can I come?
And I was like, yeah.
And I took him to Third Coast Comedy Club
to do a show that Benton Ray ran.
And Benton went on to be Whitney Cummings' assistant.
And Benton's living in LA now
and having their own journey and everything like that.
But at the time, Benton was a comic in Nashville
running this show called Hateful Best Friend.
And I took Mark and he was like,
hey, can you ask him if I can get a spot?
And I was like, yeah, sure.
But I doubt they'll have a problem.
And he was like, okay.
And I talked to Benton and he was like, yeah, of course.
So throw Mark up there into a packed room.
And this is Mark Norma from a few years ago
that he's not the, I'd say household name he is now.
People knew who he was,
but not to the degree that he is now.
But he gets up there, and I mean,
this is the guy that's headlining the fuckin',
one of the biggest comedy clubs in the South.
And he gets up on the show,
oh man, he bombed so fuckin' bad.
Because he was trying new shit.
He was trying new shit, which I love.
He was trying new shit.
But one of the jokes he was trying,
which I don't know if he's ever put in a special,
but I've heard it on social before,
just how kinda old this was,
he had a joke about Caitlin Jenner, Bruce Jenner,
cutting their dick off with the edge of a rusty tuna can.
And he told this in Nashville,
like a packed room, people were like, no.
No, and he was just like,
Gallup says, fuck it.
He was totally unaffected, totally unaffected.
And it's like, I admire that.
That he just got up there and he was like,
fuck it, he had his notebook in his hand,
and he's flipping pages,
and he's saying new jokes and new ideas,
and they're not working, and he's just like, ah.
And it's just like watching like a pro.
And not the first time I've seen pros bomb.
I've seen pros bomb before, shit happens.
But just seeing him and then afterwards
being completely unaffected,
and then we went to another show,
and he went after me and he killed.
He did great on another show.
He's a wild, wild dude.
Super fun hang.
We went out on Broadway in Nashville,
he did some things I won't forget.
We will put him out there.
He was fucking wild, dude.
But that.
That's awesome though.
One thing that Copper Top.
Yeah, one thing that Copper Top taught me,
and that experience, like watching a professional,
like not do well, and it was just like,
water off a duck's back.
Like completely informed how I feel about,
especially open mics,
and sometimes just comedy in general.
You cannot bomb at an open mic.
I tell people this all the time.
I used to teach the comedy classes at Stand Up Live,
and hopefully I will again one day
when we get back into it.
But that was one of my biggest things.
People at open mics get so fucking stressed out
because they want to do well,
even though it's just an open mic,
which is like the gym.
It's like you're supposed to go and work out.
It's like it's not gonna be perfect.
But it's like, and I think you've seen it.
You've probably seen somebody not do well at an open mic
and talk to them after, and they're like,
oh man, oh that fucking sucked, bro.
Secret conversation we had.
You're like, oh that sucked, man.
And it's like, why?
You cannot bomb at an open mic.
Once you kind of have that freedom,
the world is your oyster.
You can do whatever you want.
It frees you up to really work on things at a mic.
There's no consequence.
What's gonna happen?
That's the thing is people have this really,
comedy is so self-centric.
It's very narcissistic in that when you're up there,
if you don't do well, when you come off the stage,
you're like, man, all these people just watch me bomb.
They're, oh God.
And you look over people and they're talking.
You're like, they're talking about me.
And they're not.
They don't give a fuck about you.
Nobody's ever been in the car ride home.
They're like, did you see that guy?
Fucking Scott, God, he was terrible.
No, they talk about who they like.
So it's like, once you realize you're not the center
of the universe, it doesn't matter if you don't do well,
what's the worst that can happen?
You're still gonna do comedy the next day, right?
I mean, I don't know, I've never done bad enough
where I'm like, well, I guess I gotta quit.
Once you have that mentality, you're fucking free.
So it's like, to everyone listening, you guys, whoever,
if you're still in that, if you're coming up,
it's like, don't put that unwanted stress on yourself.
It's like, you cannot bomb in an open mic.
So go there, work on your shit.
Fucking, if something pops in your head, say it.
You could literally find a great tag, a great joke,
just by being free and loose when you're up there.
And I don't mean it to the point,
don't go up there and say some racist, terrible shit.
Oh, I was just freewheeling it.
It's like, don't do that.
Have some fucking decorum.
But at the same time, it's like, man, when I'm up there,
I don't even, open mics to me, which I love,
is like, I don't really write jokes anymore
in the traditional sense of,
I don't sit down and write a joke out.
I'll have, sometimes it depends on the thought.
Sometimes I'll have a complete idea.
Sometimes I might just have a nugget.
And it's like, if you have a nugget of an idea
and you're like, that could be funny,
just go up on stage and talk about it.
Say what you want to in the moment,
as opposed to sitting down with pen and paper like,
what can I say about this?
It's like, get up there and fucking say it.
See what happens.
Try it all for size.
See where it fucking goes, dude.
Because if you're recording yourself
or if you've got a good memory,
if you're like, okay, let me talk about this.
Remember the high points of what you just said.
If you can mold that into a joke,
I mean, that's just as good as sitting down
with a pen and paper.
I mean, that's, I would say maybe a bit more
of an advanced level once you have a level of comfortability.
But fucking let it rip.
I mean, get up there and just fucking talk about it.
We appreciate it.
This is Clown College.
Thank you.
Scott is over here dropping gems, baby.
Hell yeah, I appreciate this.
I'm also high and I can't stop talking.
I was locked in.
I was locked in in June with this.
I was like, we do have to say something.
So I'm like, damn, I do sit in front of my notebook
and I'm like, fuck, dude.
Don't waste the time.
Hell yeah.
So you're in a Beastie Boys tribute band.
Yes.
Okay, tell us about this.
So we're called the Beastie Goys with a G, G-O-Y-S.
If you know what that means,
you probably understand why it's funny.
No, I don't.
Okay, so a Goy is a non-Jewish person.
Oh, okay, okay.
That's what Jews call non-Jews.
We're Goys, right?
Like, look at that Goy.
That's a non-Jewish person.
Now the Beastie Boys, we're all Jewish.
The Beastie Goys, all seven of us, not a Jew in there.
No Jews.
So Beastie Goys are the Beastie non-Jewish boys.
It's basically where the name comes from.
That's what it is.
So that's why I say sometimes you say it
and people are like, ha ha, okay.
And then other people are like, yeah, Goys, whatever.
And you're like, do you know what it means, right?
No, I don't.
Then you explain it, they're like, okay, okay.
So yeah, it takes a little explaining sometimes.
So somebody had told me before,
because I didn't really know you until recently,
but they were like, yeah, he's in a Beastie Boys
tribute band and the way my mind took it is Beach Boys.
So for literally until we got this intel,
I was like, he's in a Beach Boys cover.
He doesn't look like he was in a Beach Boys.
That would be kind of rad too though.
I love the, dude, the Beach Boys are the shit, dude.
Beach Boys are great.
They got some bangers.
Well, Beach Boys, they don't get enough credit
because they were the American Beatles basically.
So it's like they started off with like the surf rock,
you know, Help Me Rhonda and fucking Little Surfer Girl
and all that bullshit.
Just like the Beatles started with I Wanna Hold Your Hand
and shit like that.
And then Beach Boys found drugs.
They got fucking trippy.
They did a lot of weird shit.
Brian Wilson was like on another fucking planet
and like pet sounds and all kinds of crazy shit.
So don't sleep on the fucking Beach Boys though.
Beach Boys are great.
We obviously, we were joking around one time
that we were gonna play a Beach Boys song
and during that song, we're gonna call ourselves
the Beach Boys, so it fits.
We're a seven piece band.
So we play everything live.
Probably the biggest misconception
when I say I'm gonna be a Spice Shoe Beat man,
a lot of people think it's like me and two other dudes
and we just hit like the space bar on a laptop
and it plays a beat.
We just like karaoke over top of it, which is not true.
No.
I'm telling you, people do think that shit
because they're like, it's rap.
Like how else do you do rap?
We do it fucking live.
We have a full band.
So we have a guitarist, we have a bass player,
we have a drummer, we have a percussionist
and we have a man on the wheel.
So we have a DJ and then we have the MCs.
So there's nothing that we do on stage
that is not created live in the moment.
That's badass.
Yeah.
And we've been doing it for, I don't know,
just over three years and it's kinda,
in the last year, kinda taken off.
We have a manager, so we have representation now
and we're playing a lot of shows on the road.
We're actually working on some really exciting stuff
right now and yeah, it's super fun, man.
It's just another creative outlet.
I really love creating and entertaining.
I didn't start comedy until I was 33.
I'm 33 when I started, which is late,
but at the same time, I wouldn't be the comic I am now
if I would've started when I was 21.
I mean, maybe I wish I would've found it when I was younger,
but I mean, for whatever reason,
it just wasn't the time.
It didn't happen, yeah.
You got a whole lot.
So I started late and even before that,
I loved creating and writing and things like that.
That's why spoken works, I was writing poetry
and I wrote some songs for friends' bands
and things like that and just always creating
and then once I found comedy,
that's why it meshed so well for me immediately
is because I realized I just like to entertain.
I found my passion when I was in my 30s
and I've kinda ridden it ever since
and this is just an extension of that,
being able to be in there.
Even though it's a tribute, it's still so much fun
to recreate that music and watch people's reactions
and it's just been an honor to be part of the band
and we've been very lucky that we got to play
some really cool shows.
So in August of 23, we played Mars Music Hall here in town
and sold 650 tickets.
Damn.
Yeah.
How was that to sound like that?
That's awesome.
Damn.
Yeah, yeah.
And we've played the Halloween celebration
at the camp this year and a few hundred people for that
and we've been very fortunate that we have a great following
here in Huntsville and once we got representation,
we figured it was time to get on the road.
So we're playing, we got booked at a music festival
in Georgia this coming summer.
And we got a lot of other really exciting gigs coming up.
This month, we're actually playing a private birthday party.
Yeah, somebody paid a lot.
A good amount.
A lot of money and we're playing this private party.
Damn.
Which should be pretty interesting.
But I enjoy the shit out of it, man.
I mean, comedy's my first love but this is like,
the goys is just so much fun because I'm fortunate enough
like the other six members of the band are like friends.
You know, like some of my best friends.
So it's being able to be creative in that space,
like surrounded by people that you care about
is such a lucky thing.
You know, it's like, as we really get along,
it's so much fun.
I mean, some of my best friends that I hang out with anyway.
So it's like now it's just we get together and create music
and we're transitioning into,
like we'll always do Beastie Boys stuff
because I mean, that's kind of what pays the bills
but like we're starting to do originals
and stuff like that.
So it's a lot of fun, dude.
I mean, I really enjoy it
and it's such a welcome departure from comedy
because like comedy, you're an island.
And now it's like I'm a member of a seven piece band.
So it's like seeing the other side about how to coordinate
with that many people and how it works
is like, it really is very eye-opening.
Hell yeah.
We're gonna put a picture of it right here.
Whatever your guys' logo is.
Yeah, yeah.
And our picture of all you guys.
We can do both.
Lanes in everything.
I'm learning how to edit now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can go to our website, it's bcgoys.com.
Yeah, we have all kinds of cool shit.
Just look at the fucking screen, whatever.
We'll link it, we'll link it.
That's nowhere near where it is.
I'm pointing it into a wall.
I had no fucking clue.
Don't you fucking do that to me.
Yes!
You fucking better take that out on post, god damn it.
I will not.
I won't fucking throw this shit at you
if you do that again, motherfucker.
Don't you ever fucking.
You know what the.
I do not.
So you've got the.
Hit my trigger over there.
All the arts, man.
Comedy, music, and I know you're a bit of a sneakerhead.
I am a huge sneakerhead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love sneakers.
I've been doing sneakers a long time.
I'm kinda, at the moment, I'm transitioning
out of the sneaker game a little bit.
Just cause it's not as exciting.
Do you buy them. Right now.
And not wear them?
Or do you wear them?
Fuck, well now I have, yeah.
You don't wear them?
I wear a lot of them.
There's also a ton I don't wear.
I've pared down my collection.
I've sold a lot recently just because,
you know, using money for other shit, you know,
that I've held onto some stuff.
But I'm still at about 500 pair.
Get the fuck.
What's your favorite pair?
My favorite pair?
Like ever?
Yeah, like your favorite pair of sneakers.
The one that you have right, you still have.
You had to keep it if you liked it.
Man.
Probably shattered backboard ones.
Okay.
Pair of Jordan ones, shattered backboard,
orange, black, sail colorway.
Love them.
They're probably about, that's about a G.
900,000.
High tops, right?
They're high tops.
These ones right here?
Yeah.
The first pair.
Right here?
Yeah, that pair.
Wow.
Yeah, that's like $2,000.
Yeah.
Damn.
But you didn't pay that much for them.
No, no, I got lucky and actually traded
some other shoes for them.
So I probably gave about $600 in value for that pair.
And they're dead stock.
I've never worn them.
That one, that's gonna take a very special occasion.
That's like a Netflix special pair right there.
Something like that.
Well soon.
Soon, man.
Fuck, I hope so.
But yeah, there's probably my second favorite pair.
Strange Love Dunks.
Love those.
Shoes are art.
Like there's so much story behind shoes
when it's done really well.
That's one of the things I love about shoes
is like it's the medium of storytelling
and like how it involves in shoes.
And it's like, I say that to somebody who just wears shoes
and they're like, I don't know what the fuck
you talking about.
But the thing is, is like a lot of these colorways
and shoes, I fucking love that pair dude, pink velvet.
I wear these.
These I wear.
Those are nice though, I like those.
I love those.
But there's so much storytelling involved in shoes
like when it's done right.
And it's like, I could give you a million examples
but it's just like, it's not just a shoe sometimes.
Sometimes there's a story behind it.
It's just such a way to punctuate your personality
in like what you're wearing.
Because it's like I build what I wear basically
from the feet up.
A lot of people will, it's backwards.
People put on an outfit and be like,
oh what shoes go with that?
I'm like, no, no, no, no, what outfit goes with my shoes?
So it's like, and I've got wild ones in every color
you can imagine and stuff like that.
And I have shoes that I wear a couple times
and I'll put them back in the box
and one day I'll bring them back out.
I have shoes that I wear all the time.
I have shoes that I've never seen the light of day.
I have shoes that I'll never sell but I'll never wear.
I have shoes that I'm waiting to sell
once they reach a particular point.
All kinds of shit.
Like over the past couple years,
I was actually looking at it on StockX
over the last two years.
I've sold like $36,000.
$36K.
Yeah.
So.
There's a hustle right there.
Oh dude, it totally is.
It's kind of like the stock market.
If you have the knowledge and you know about the shoes
and with a little bit of luck and a little bit of help
once you meet people and things like that,
because it is a community.
That's another thing.
It's like sneaker heads.
It's a community.
Like you're a comedian.
I'm a comedian.
Like we've already got common ground.
It's the same thing like two sneaker heads meet.
And it's like you meet people, message boards,
discord, all kinds of crazy shit.
You can get hookups.
You find shoes.
Like I had plugs in Germany and Europe
that I could get shoes from and stuff like that.
And it's just like,
at one point, I wouldn't say obsession,
but it was just like I was super in tune with it.
I was buying shoes, selling shoes, trading shoes.
And then it just got to a point where one day
I looked around and I was like,
I can't even fit them all in my house.
I have a storage unit where I have to put some shoes.
I have other shit in there.
It's not just for the shoes,
but I have to put shoes in storage.
The podcast set, the shoes.
Because it's so much.
I mean, if you really think about how many,
how much space 500 pairs of shoes take up.
Oh, I can't even.
It's a lot.
And I started to look around and then it's like,
fuck man, I bought this pair of shoes and look at it.
And I'm like, I'm never gonna wear that.
I'm never gonna fucking wear that.
It was just in the flow of I'm collecting
and this and that and it just got to be so much.
And then sometimes the fun gets sucked out of it
because I might sell shoes occasionally,
but I'm like a dope dealer.
I sell dope so I can smoke dope for free.
You know what I mean?
It's like I sell shoes so I can buy more fucking shoes.
But there are people either that are trying
to get rich off the shit that have plugs and connections
where they're like a store has 100 pair,
they buy all 100 pair,
then regular people can't fucking get them.
And then you're like, I just wanna wear them.
And then you look and they're selling for $200
over what they retail for.
And you're like, I'm not paying $400 fucking dollars.
And then they brick.
Nobody wants to pay for them.
So they sit there and then the price eventually goes down.
But that person just sat on those shoes
for like two fucking years where nobody else could have them.
And it's just, it's so frustrating.
So anything that's like of a hype,
like a Travis Scott release, it's like kiss goodbye.
You'll know, I've been lucky enough,
literally through sheer luck on Nike,
like through the draw system to win some Travis Scott's
and shit like that.
But other than that, it's like,
you're not fucking getting them.
The fucking influencers and the sneaker flippers
and all those are getting them.
And it's like, it's so fucking frustrating
because what if you just wanna wear the shoe?
You can't fucking wear the shoe.
So like a lot of the magic has kind of
got pulled out of it recently.
And it's like Nike is kind of struggling.
It's like, I like retros as much as the next person,
but like retros are slowly kind of like,
they've lost a lot of the collector interest,
which where the collector interest goes,
the general public goes too.
So the shoes just aren't, it's just like meh.
You know, I'm just, I'll still see a pair of shoes
where I'm like, hell yeah.
And I'm a Nike guy through and through,
but I also collect, I say collect, but I wear New Balance.
Puma.
Rebac.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, basically Saucony,
there's so many brands or shoes out there
that are still making dope shit.
Like New Balance, I fucking love.
I mean, I have so many pairs of New Balance.
New Balance is a great company making a really good shoe
and they still are.
Right now they're probably making the best collabs out there
because they're working with like Action Bronson
and Saleem, Berm Berry, and a lot of other really great
artists and collaborators and shit like that.
So there's still a lot of cool shit out there.
It's just like, I'm just kind of losing my fire
for it a little bit.
So you can still see me wearing a bunch of fly shoes,
but I'm not as embedded in the.
He just has 500 of them.
Well, here's the thing is I might not be buying,
but I'm still like, I still read about shoes every day.
I'm still reading and taking in content
and everything like that.
I'm just not as buying.
I'm not in the buying mode like I once was.
I've kind of shifted into other pursuits.
Like the standards I've always collected.
Like I collect comic books
and I have for years.
You like the Marvel and.
I'm every company dude.
I kind of like go across the board.
So do you like the new phase that Marvel just did?
Well.
Did you have some like say.
There's characters I follow in Marvel.
I don't really follow necessarily like all of the 616.
You know, like all of the main Marvel universe right now.
It's like, I'm not an X person.
I never have been.
X-Men?
No, I'm not an X-Men person.
It's too fucking hard to find an entry point dude.
You can't get into that.
I don't know how anybody right now gets into X-Men
because the lore and everything behind it
is so fucking thick and deep
that if you pick up a book right now and you read it,
you're like, I have no fucking idea what just happened.
Who are these people?
What is going on?
There is a lot of them.
You know?
A lot of them.
And I still like superhero comics
but it's still like basics.
Like I still read like Iron Man, Ghost Rider, Blade.
There's some other Marvel titles.
And like DC, I only fuck with like,
I still read Batman, I read The Flash.
Flash was my favorite.
I read some other shit.
I read a ton of image comics.
Dark Horse, Boom, Dynamite, shit like that.
Like there's a lot of great titles.
And it's like most of the stuff I'm really into
I would say is non-superhero.
It's more like horror, thriller.
Anthology comics and stuff like that.
Oh, I mean that's the whole thing you should
because it's such a great,
the medium is you can tell any story you want.
Not just superhero shit.
I mean don't get me wrong, I love superheroes.
But like there's so like, if you like comic books,
there's so many other comics out there
that if you read you're like, holy shit,
I was like fucking amazing.
And it wasn't about a superhero or anything.
It's just you just kind of gotta open up to it.
It's the same thing like with shoes.
It's just I'm super into it.
So it's like I just kind of learn reading on blogs
and things like that.
Like new comic series coming out.
Or like I follow a particular writer
and they're writing something new.
So I'll check them out.
Like Jeff Lemire is one of the best comic book writers
out there right now.
Anything he does is just gold.
And there's Chip Sadarsky and there's like, there's a lot.
So it's like comic books I love.
I love watches.
And like collecting nice pieces, Rolex.
What's the B one?
Bavada?
What kind of word did you just make up?
What are you talking about?
There's mavado.
Scott likes to make fun of people with speech impediments.
I guess he's just a bit.
Yeah, yeah, I'm an asshole.
I love it.
Hey, I remember seeing you at Stand Up Live
the first time when you did the bucket pool
and you roasted everybody that got off stage.
And man, I'm telling you,
I think that was like the first time I really saw you.
And I was like, oh, this motherfucker's funny as shit.
Every one of you have, bam, bam, bam.
Yeah, I love roasting people.
It's a lot of fun.
It's super fun.
Watches are a lot of fun.
I do have some expensive pieces,
but it's also like, those are investments as well.
Like the great thing about a watch,
like if you look literally over the past
like three to four years,
if you look at the performance of the stock market,
the S&P, like the whole stock market,
versus the performance of Rolexes,
Rolexes outperform the stock market.
Like as investment pieces.
You can put money into a watch and get money out of it.
But it's luxury you can wear and then resell later
if you want.
But at the same time, you also don't have to spend
an insane asshole amount of money to have a cool watch.
I'm more just like cool shit.
What price range are you thinking?
For like, if you wanted to go out there
and get you a nice piece.
It really would depend on,
I can give you something in every price range.
It's more what you want to spend.
So like a 250.
$250 watch, you can get a really nice watch.
You can get an automatic watch, which is no battery,
it's powered kinetic energy.
You know, like Citizen, Seiko,
both those make really good watches.
There's some independent watchmakers
that make some nice watches in that price range.
There's nothing wrong with it.
I mean, fuck, the watch I have on right now
costs fucking $70.
It's a fucking Casio gold digital watch.
It's 70 bucks.
If you want to spend 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000,
whatever, there's something in every price range.
What's the most expensive one you got?
Most expensive one I got?
I have a Rolex Submariner.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
I don't know, how much is it?
It's probably like, if I went to sell it right now,
I'd probably get like eight to 10,000.
So I got eight to 10 grand.
It's like Kia Soul on the rim.
Hell yeah.
For real.
And that's a very understated Rolex.
It's just a sports watch.
It's a dive watch.
It's a tool watch, basically.
I mean, it's built to last forever.
And it's also, since it is so timeless in its design,
that's why you can always sell it and make money on it.
Because it's never gonna go out of style.
Watches have not really changed a lot.
There's new technology and things like that,
but at the same time, it's like when you get into
hand-making of these watches and things like that,
it's the same thing for a century.
That's why when you put diamonds on a Rolex,
you decrease the value.
You do, yeah, a bust down.
That's what they call it.
A bust down Rolex.
If you have a Rolex that doesn't have factory set diamonds,
or any watch where you add the diamonds after
the watch is purchased, it's called a bust down.
Wow, that's what we just call whores.
Hey.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what we call them.
But I'm not into the diamonds and shit like that.
You know, that's not really my, that's not really my bag.
There's some watches out there like I would fucking kill for
that are great, but it's like, you know,
you have to be reasonable.
I mean, the only reason I have that Rolex is it was a gift.
It was a gift from a company I worked for.
But I couldn't have, but even then at the time
when I got that, the watch cost,
back then it was probably like $4,500, $5,000.
So it's increased in value, but the thing is that watch now
new is about 10, $9,000, $10,000 for Rolex.
So inflation, things go up.
I have the most expensive watch I've purchased.
I have a Tudor Black Bay 58.
Tudor is Rolex's sister company.
And that was $4,000.
That was purchased with the intent of creating a family
heirloom that I can, I will leave my son.
Because again, it's a beautiful watch.
It's built for life.
If you take care of it and service the watch.
I mean, he, you know, I mean, he could wear it
when he's my age, you know, and it'll still run
like a motherfucker.
So it was purchased with the intention of creating
a memory and something that I can give to my son.
Because when my father died two and a half years ago,
I got stuff, but I didn't get anything personal.
You know what I mean?
Like something that he wore daily or something,
you know what I mean?
Like a lot of memories and things, but nothing like,
you know, and it was like, I wanted to create
something like that and like what better than a watch?
Because I can have that watch, it was expensive, yeah,
but I have that watch, I can wear it, enjoy it.
And then when it's time, I can give it to him
and he can wear it and enjoy it.
And the thing is, it will increase in value.
He'll love it.
As time goes on, if, as long as it's taken care of.
And I mean, if it ever has to part with it,
it's like it's still worth the money I paid for it or more.
But it's also a memory that we can enjoy.
Yeah, it's dope.
So that's kind of the thought process.
Because I've heard like, oh, I would never pay
that much for a watch.
And it's like, it's relative.
Because it's what you're into.
People all the time are like, everybody's got something
that they're fucking like into.
So people are like, oh, I would never spend $200
on a pair of shoes.
And then they got like the new Apple Watch.
And they're like, oh, how much is that?
They're like, oh, this is $800.
Like who the fuck would spend $800 on Apple Watch?
Wait a second, it's like, you see what I mean?
It's the same shit, dude.
Everybody has something that they're willing
to spend their money on.
You might not want, it might not even be material things,
it could be like, oh, I'll fly to Spain.
Or like go on vacation and blow a bunch of money,
I don't give a fuck.
You're in it for the experience.
Exactly.
So it's like, it's all about what you'll spend the money on.
So anything that's like expensive or seems extravagant,
it's just what that particular person has chosen
to allocate their time, money, everything to.
So it's like, there are some things that are insane.
Like I'll see, since I'm really into watches,
and it's like, everybody loves to dream
and like look at this crazy shit.
Like when I see one in the wild,
like I've been on the street in Chicago
and I saw a guy wearing a $400,000 watch,
just like walking down the street.
That is mind blowing.
But then you think about it,
if that guy's wearing a $400,000 watch,
that's probably like me buying a $400 watch
or a $4,000 watch.
This guy's gotta be balling out of control.
It's not like the guy's homeless,
he's like, no, I ain't got a house,
but I got this fucking watch right here.
So it's all relative when I see shit like that.
I mean, and that's why these industries exist.
Somebody's out there willing to fucking spend the money.
You know?
But I do say to people, it's like invest in a nice watch.
It doesn't have to be a thousand, four thousand.
You can get a nice watch that'll last forever
for $500 fucking dollars.
I know people are like, oh no, I'll stick with my Casio,
I'll pay $100 for it, I'll throw it away after two years.
It's like, yeah, but then you're gonna spend
another $100, just go ahead and spend a little more now,
have a watch that'll stand the test of time.
Yeah.
So that's, yeah, well watches are a thing for me.
I'm like, yeah, I'm not fucking, get you a nice watch.
Explore yourself.
When you were talking about shoes earlier,
you said part of the reason you were so interested
in sneakers was because each shoe tells a story.
Yeah.
And then you started talking about watches
and creating a family heirloom,
passing it down to your son,
by creating a story of your own.
Then you talked about the comic books
and everything like that.
You talked about storytelling earlier.
You told us the story of the history of comedy in Huntsville.
What is the, what do you have,
what is the significance of storytelling in your life?
I just find it interesting when things have a story.
First off, I enjoy a good story.
You know what I mean?
Like if you have a story to tell me,
I'm gonna be all ears.
I'm like, hey man, I wanna tell you something.
Oh yeah, I just love hearing stories.
But then I found out that kind of transcends
into stuff like shoes and watches and things like that.
Because if you really, when you get into something,
you realize there is something behind everything.
It's not just there.
I mean, there is shit that's, you know what I mean?
Yeah, but everything has a story.
And there's just shit that's there.
But sometimes if you dig deeper,
you realize the story behind some of this shit.
And it's like when you look at Jordans,
these Jordans have names, or the colorway has a name.
And if you dig a little deeper,
you'll realize why is it called that.
Because you'll see a Jordan,
like that Shatterback board that we showed.
Like Strange Love, this one right here,
this is called a Strange Love
because this is a collab with a skate shop called,
and that skate shop's called Strange Love.
They make skates and skateboards
and skateboard apparel and shit like that.
And this was a limited edition,
what you see there with that box, the shoes,
and the shit that all came together
is like a limited edition package.
And that's basically just a collab with that store.
But then the Shatteredback boards,
the ones that we looked at before,
that colorway does not be like,
that colorway makes perfect sense for a Shatteredback board.
The reason that's called a Shatteredback board
is because Michael Jordan was wearing those shoes
in that colorway when he played in,
or actually, let me take that back,
his uniform was that color.
It was black and orange.
I can't remember which Jordans he was wearing exactly,
but that color scheme right there,
he was playing an exhibition game in Italy,
and he dunked and shattered the backboard.
So then they made this shoe several years later,
and they incorporated the color from his uniform
as the color blocking on the shoe,
and they call it the Shatteredback board.
So that's the story behind that shoe.
And then there's a million of them in Jordan 1s.
There's like the Letterman Jordan 1s,
and it is literally the color scheme
is based on the lining of Jordan's suit
that he wore on his first appearance on David Letterman.
Like when you dig a little deeper,
you see these little stories,
and that's not just in Jordan,
it's in a lot of shoes, period.
It's just like the backstory of why is it called that?
It's not just, sometimes they might just pull something
out of midair occasionally,
but most of the time there's a story on how it's created.
And sometimes it gets real deep.
New Balance had this shoe where it's called,
I can't even say it,
it's the word cursed backwards, okay?
So, like I said, I can't even,
I can't say it was the word cursed backwards.
So what it is, this shoe,
the color way is based on basically like the colors,
the primary colors that were used in this play.
This is how deep it goes.
So when Babe Ruth was bought by the Yankees
from the Red Sox, right?
Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to Curse of the Mambino.
Okay, yeah.
If you're familiar, Curse of the Mambino,
they sold him to the Yankees.
The money that the Red Sox received,
the owner of the Red Sox,
put that money into an off-Broadway play, okay?
And the play bombed, okay?
And the play had like all this,
you know, like all the marketing and play bill and shit like
that, right?
So the colors that were in like the play bill,
that's the colors of the shoe.
And then the box and the paper in the box,
like wrapping the shoe,
are modeled after the play bill and the set
from the play that failed.
And then the shoe is called cursed backwards.
So it's the Babe Ruth shoe.
Oh, that's tight.
Yeah.
So I mean, that's like,
that's design that went into the paper, the box,
the shoe, that fucking, like, who knew, you know,
you wouldn't know that the money that Babe Ruth
was bought with was used to find it to fucking play
for one of the greatest baseball players of all fucking time.
You know, it's just like little shit like that.
You read it and you're like, wow, that's fucking cool.
That's like fascinating.
And it's, that kind of storytelling is not just in shoes.
It's with like watches or fashion brands
or a family heirloom or, you know, or like,
that's why, you know, sometimes you see somebody
wearing a vintage watch, like an old watch,
and I'm like, tell me about that old watch.
They might tell you a fucking fascinating story.
You know, I've heard some of the most fascinating shit
in my life just by asking questions about shit like that,
or digging below the surface level on like,
what's in that name?
Like, why is it called that or whatever it is?
So it's like, I really dig that shit.
That's why I also like, like in anything like a TV show,
like a show that has like all that background lore
and mythology built around it.
Game of Thrones, love it?
Yeah, of course.
And it's like supernatural, 15 seasons,
like all that went into it.
And then it's like Lost was a great show
that built all the, you know what I mean?
It's like, I love that shit.
It's really fascinating to me.
Like I admire the creativity of the people that made that.
Like how they built that world.
George R. R. Martin, like with Game of Thrones and shit.
And I just have always really gravitated
towards shit like that.
And then like when I first started comedy,
the reason I wanted to do comedy in the first place,
number one, being a fan and like seeing,
like I wish I could do that.
But also it's like, I was always kind of like
the storyteller of the group.
Like I would tell stories, like people would always be like,
hey man, tell everybody about that time.
And I would tell the story and people all the time
would be like, man, you should do comedy.
Like you tell a really good story.
And that's what kind of like built me up.
Like I should, I should try it.
And it's like, and now even when I do comedy,
everything I do is kind of in a storytelling style.
That's really kind of my style.
It's like conversational storytelling.
So it's like, it kind of all just rotates around that, man.
It's just like, that's what I enjoy.
So that's kind of what I try to put back out there.
Because it's, it dovetails well for me.
Does that answer your question?
It's an hour and seven minutes.
Okay, we're good, we're good.
All right.
So you would tell, trying to put me on a time limit?
No, no, no.
I have to know.
I will not be fucking shut down.
Hell no, I gotta ask you about this.
What is the 2015 Air Sex World Championships?
That's a layered question.
What's this all about?
I just want to know what it is.
Oh, it was a gentleman by the name of Chris True.
Uh-huh.
Out of New Orleans, Louisiana.
Had that show and it toured across the country.
Oh, it's a show?
That's a show.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
I didn't know you liked what the comic, like an air,
like they had sex with air or something.
Oh no, you do have sex with the air.
You do, it's a competition.
It's like air guitar, but air fucking.
You fucking with me?
No, I'm not.
Yes, we did it a couple times.
Actually, at one point he had sold the show to MTV.
But then they backed out.
But 2015 was the first time I had met Chris True
because I did a festival in New Orleans
called Hell Yes Fest.
And I met Chris and very long story short,
Chris is like a little scumbaggy.
There's a lot of negative things
that not derive from air sex.
But I'll just say there's a vulture article out there
about some shit that happened in the New Orleans
comedy scene that I don't believe we have the time
to dig into.
But Chris ran that show and basically you'd have
three judges and a performer would come out
and you'd play a song of your choosing
and then you would have air sex.
You'd have sex with the air.
And people got into it.
There were costumes, props.
All kinds of shit.
Chris would open the show, he would host
and he would open and be like,
this is what I'm talking about with air sex.
And he would do this air sex routine that he had.
And then we would have booked comics
and maybe one spot where if anybody from the crowd
wanted to participate.
And it's super fun.
Did you air sex?
Did I?
No, I was always a judge.
Okay, okay.
No.
If I did, it would have been probably a spaced theme.
I think I would have fucked on the moon.
Little weightless.
Little weightless with some police like walking on the moon.
You know, like something like that.
I had the idea but I was always a judge
which I was fine with.
Fun show, they don't do it anymore.
I don't believe.
I believe that show's now defunct
but that's what air sex was.
It was actually a very popular touring show.
Or yeah, you had sex with the air to music.
Damn, it's pretty unique.
Yeah, very unique.
Same battle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sex battle.
I mean, he would take it to festivals
and tour around.
I mean, I've saw it.
I had it here in Huntsville twice
and I saw it in multiple other cities.
It was a whole deal.
Oh shit.
Yeah.
Damn, dude.
Never even considered that.
I love theme shows, man.
Theme shows are so much fun
and it gets to a point
when you've been doing comedy long enough,
it's like stand up is great
but it's also any opportunity you have
to be funny while doing something
besides stand up is like a godsend.
It's great because it forces you
to flex comedy muscles that you don't normally flex.
That's what I love.
I like anything that forces you
to try to be spontaneously funny.
So theme shows are really good for that.
So actually part of what we're doing in 24,
we're gonna do some theme shows.
We're gonna bring them back.
I normally, every epic anniversary weekend,
we normally do one or two theme shows
but I think we're gonna try to do one
maybe once a month moving forward.
And it'll be shit like comedy karaoke.
So what we'll do is we'll actually have a host
and then three judges.
All three judges will be comics.
The host will be a comic.
The karaoke is literally open for sign up.
Anyone can do it.
But when you do the karaoke,
you submit to being judged and roasted
by the judges and the host.
Hell yeah.
And there will be a big prize.
Like when we got sponsors and shit,
there'll be a big prize that whoever is the best,
who wins comedy karaoke will get a prize
and we're gonna do that format
for a couple other competition style shows too.
That sounds like an amazing fucking idea.
That'll be fun.
And we'll be signing up for that.
Me too.
So you would like, if you wanna wear a costume
and all this shit.
You can do whatever you want.
Whatever you want.
You can do whatever you like.
Oh yeah.
But you can do whatever you want.
You are submitting to the mercy of the judges and the host.
I love to get roasted.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Me too.
Exactly, exactly.
So I love a good theme show.
Air Sex is a great theme.
And it's one of those things,
when you think about it now with comedy,
it's like, it's hard to come up with a good theme.
Because if you come up right now,
like if we literally were like,
all right, let's come up with a theme show.
You'd be like, what about this?
And I'd be like, there's already a show that does it.
Because if it's cool and you've thought of it.
Somebody else probably.
Somebody else has already thought of that shit too.
And comedy is also very protective.
So if you, I've seen this shit happen.
If you have an idea, you're like,
oh, I wanna do this as a theme show.
And that show say already exists
and somebody runs it like out West.
If you start to do that show and advertise it
and the people who do that show originally out West,
they will call you out and be like,
you fucking stole my idea.
You're a fucking thief.
And then comedy community will be like,
thief, thief, thief, thief.
And then,
Shit.
And then you're like,
thief, thief, thief, thief, thief, thief, thief, thief.
And then,
Shit.
It's as bad as stealing a joke.
It's taking somebody's idea.
It's as bad as stealing a joke.
So that's why some shows, like theme shows,
when you see them done and I've had to do this,
it's like, I contact the creator and be like,
hey, I would like to do a version of your show.
Do I have your blessing?
And some of them will send me fucking packets
of information.
It's like, this is how the show should be run.
No, damn.
This is what I need.
And I'm like, okay, I respect that.
And you do it their way.
And then you can use, you can advertise it.
They'll advertise it for you.
It's just the better way of doing business
than try to take some shit out from under somebody,
which a lot of comics do.
A lot of fucking people do that.
And sometimes it's ignorance.
They're not doing it on purpose.
They don't fucking know any better.
But the problem is, even if they don't know,
they're gonna get told in a very harsh way.
So it's like, I will say, anything,
do your research first.
If you have an idea on anything and you're like,
yeah, this, see if it already exists.
Because there's a fucking good chance
something like it or that exact thing already exists.
Air sex, you'll never see another one.
You'll never see that again.
This shit was wild, dude.
It was very wild.
It was.
It was funny, but it was also, I mean,
it couldn't help.
It was a little hot.
It was a little, it could get a little sexy.
It could get a little sexy.
I bet.
Yeah, man.
I mean, because you had people up there
that were kinda, that would half-ass it a little bit.
And then the next person would be like,
I think they came.
I think they busted a little bit.
That was fucking, I busted a little bit.
They got to me.
Hell yeah, dude.
All right, this is the end of podcasts.
