00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200
This week on Clown College.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,440
And like I didn't grow up in the hood, man, I grew up in the jungle.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,040
So I got raped by animals.

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,080
Not me. I was talking about the opening universe.

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,840
Yes. OK, Brandon. Wink, wink.

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,760
Why the fuck I wink with you?

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:21,760
Oh, yeah.

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,320
You're just throwing us at equipment, Brandon.

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,760
We had we went outside of the shop one time with throwing a football.

10
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:34,440
Oh, my God, to watch this man catch a football.

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:35,960
Oh, no. That's horrible.

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,240
It's a sight to behold.

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,360
Hell, yeah. Are you special needs?

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,720
A little bit. Actually, I'm a little bit.

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,520
I'm glad we're getting into this right now.

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,880
Yes. Hell, yeah.

17
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,400
This is the Clown College podcast.

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,520
We're just a couple of open micers trying to make our way through the scene.

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,160
Where we interview comedians throughout different stages of their comedy career,

20
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,720
no matter if they're open micers, headliners or traveling comedians.

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,440
I'm here to Jamie 2.0.

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,920
I just talk a lot more.

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,200
Damn it, Brandon. Go sit in the corner.

24
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,680
Well, we're back. Yeah.

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,120
Oh, yeah.

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,880
Count College episode 10.

27
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,160
Wow. 10. Wow.

28
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,480
We hit the double digits. What's that mean?

29
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,880
I think it's something like if you post 10 podcasts consistently,

30
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,560
it's longer than like 97 or 99 percent of podcasts.

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,760
So come on, baby. We're top one percent.

32
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,680
We're in here. God damn it.

33
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,400
Let's go. Did you try to play the applause?

34
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,120
It was sounded like a light.

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,280
Yeah, I don't know what the fuck that that's why I stopped.

36
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,320
I was like, oh, let me try. Yeah, there we go.

37
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,920
I'm going to turn. How you been, Brandon?

38
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,280
Man, I've been hanging in there. I'm doing good.

39
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,440
That's all you can do.

40
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,200
Hey, we had that good show Friday.

41
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,560
Hell, yeah. That was a good time at Shannigan's.

42
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,440
The San Noob show.

43
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,720
San Noob. Hell, yeah.

44
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,320
That was a good time. That was a really good time.

45
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Got to be in the green room. Oh, my God.

46
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,840
You were so hype, man. You were like, kick your ass.

47
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,360
Hell, yeah. You had a pocket free for this free beer and water.

48
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,480
You can't leave free shit around poor people.

49
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,240
Hell, no. We go nuts.

50
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,160
That's how much candy I had, man. Shit, I was just smacking away.

51
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,320
I was eating those little Japanese Nutella.

52
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,000
Yeah. Then I was asking everybody, I was like, y'all tried this shit?

53
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,600
Like, you remember you, it was just me and you.

54
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,160
And I went up and I went up to them tapping on the shoulder.

55
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,320
Hey, you tried them fucking M&M's over there.

56
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,560
Yeah, me and Brandon tear up some candy.

57
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,280
Hell, yeah. We were munching on that shit.

58
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,040
They had fortune cookies, which I thought was pretty cool.

59
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,760
And then I even bought some candy from the concession stand, too.

60
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,640
Oh, got half off.

61
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:34,840
No, wait, we do.

62
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,800
Yeah, you didn't know that shit.

63
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,520
Even Maddie got half off.

64
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,040
She went and bought her like a drink or something.

65
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,920
They gave her half off and Brandon did.

66
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:46,200
I didn't know. I spent like 12 bucks on two pieces of candy.

67
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,800
Oh, you would have got that for six.

68
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,920
Damn, Brandon.

69
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:49,920
Oh, well, Brandon. Yeah.

70
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,080
Well, you learn something new every day.

71
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,880
Did you not read the little poster in there?

72
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,720
No, I wasn't even friendly.

73
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,560
I was just thinking about the set.

74
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,280
I was like, no, no, let's get this shit.

75
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,680
Like when they asked me about the radio, they're like, do your radio voice.

76
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,280
I was so focused on the set that I said something, Brandon.

77
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,920
I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, shit, shit.

78
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:06,160
And they're like, you can't cause on the radio.

79
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,640
I'm like, oh, my bad, y'all. Hold up. I'm sorry.

80
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:10,520
He's like, don't apologize to me. You're good.

81
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,800
And I was like, no, I'm thinking on the set right now.

82
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,800
Oh, shit.

83
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,680
Whenever we were in there, you know,

84
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,600
sci fi kept on coming in to charge his phone.

85
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,560
What are you doing? Are you on the show?

86
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,200
Performers only. Yeah.

87
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,960
We're going to put a picture of his little chunky ass up here right now.

88
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Because apparently he's a shit because he's on the board.

89
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,840
On the board. Is it your show?

90
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,520
I don't see a plaque with your name on it.

91
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,480
I didn't see nothing. Not shit.

92
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,480
Did you even see it?

93
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,760
I don't see Mr. Got jokes on any plaques anywhere, dude.

94
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,840
I seen a picture in the bathroom.

95
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,840
Does that count?

96
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,480
Yeah, he's like, I don't see anything.

97
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Why you looking at pictures of sci fi in the bathroom?

98
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,880
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

99
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:46,720
What was y'all doing?

100
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Well, no, I was just taking a piss.

101
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,520
Oh, OK. He was just there.

102
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,800
No, it was on the wall, like the picture.

103
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,080
That'd be weird. Hey, Brandon, I like your piss.

104
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,160
Now we got another story to tell.

105
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,160
Another Brandon's corner.

106
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,080
Another fucking Brandon's corner.

107
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,520
I remember all that shenanigans.

108
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,960
I hope you guys like the episode, the solo episode.

109
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,120
I thought it went really well.

110
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,240
Yeah, that was fun. I really enjoyed that.

111
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:09,960
It was a good time.

112
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,800
And shout out to shenanigans for letting us on the noobs

113
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,840
and what they're going to do now.

114
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,160
Kim was saying she's going to try to do this once a month or so.

115
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,640
And if you're a comedian under two years, you get to get on there.

116
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,600
And if you want to go again, you just have to have a new five minutes

117
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,640
and then you get to go again.

118
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,680
I think that's great for.

119
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,600
It's a really cool thing.

120
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,560
Yeah, it's a really cool thing.

121
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,200
You get really cool.

122
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,040
We had Leanne on there.

123
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,320
What's a man's name?

124
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,600
Jason. Jason.

125
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,600
Sam Sam's Jason Sims.

126
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,920
And he was hilarious.

127
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,640
And then it was me and JJ Brandon and Jake Monti.

128
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:48,800
God damn it.

129
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,280
Jake Monti opened up the show.

130
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,080
Hell, he's supposed to do his roast at the end on Jonathan.

131
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,960
Went straight in started with this.

132
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,560
But then when we got to the roast portion, I mean, he had his own five minutes.

133
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Oh, yeah.

134
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,200
He they had to take the mic away.

135
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,880
Yeah, he had a lot of gross.

136
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,240
Jake could have went.

137
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,160
Yeah, like you said, easily five minutes and just roasting Jonathan.

138
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,040
Yeah, it was great.

139
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,840
It was great. Everybody roasting him pretty good.

140
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:11,600
It was good.

141
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,200
You know, Kim killed Jason.

142
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Oh, that was the funniest joke of the night.

143
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,280
Yeah, probably.

144
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:19,680
Kim's a fucking monster.

145
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,920
Shenanigans. She owns it.

146
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,800
If you see her on a show, though, I'm telling she brings the house down.

147
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,800
What she say that she said, oh, because Jason, he's a he's bald

148
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,080
and he's a ginger.

149
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,440
But so he's got a red beard.

150
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,520
And Kim said that he looked like her half shaven pussy.

151
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:37,720
Essentially, she worded it differently.

152
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,680
I think. Yeah.

153
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,520
That's what she said.

154
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,880
She'll be on on 28th and we'll get the, you know, the whole roast there.

155
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,640
Yeah, but she's a layer.

156
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,560
That shit had my ego too high, man.

157
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,800
That show, not even because I did good, just because like there was the green room

158
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,960
and there's free shit in there.

159
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,920
I was like, OK, then we get on stage, I hand a wireless microphone.

160
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,600
I'm like, OK, we're in the big one.

161
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,760
I said Square Garden, I'm coming next.

162
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,680
Hail. Hey, and you guys.

163
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,520
So we had that show on Friday, but Thursday, JJ did a feature

164
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,600
on Jonathan's silver dollar silver dollar comedy night

165
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,640
at the Speakeasy campus, 805.

166
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,240
And he murdered.

167
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,720
I don't want to understate this.

168
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,720
10 minutes. It was your first 10 minutes set, right? Yeah.

169
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,120
First 10 minutes set, murdered from beginning the first joke,

170
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,960
which is this clip right here.

171
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,720
I mean, when we get to it and then through the whole 10 minutes,

172
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,000
had the crowd on fire.

173
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,760
And then I found out, I was like, I have to follow.

174
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,080
Did that go good for me?

175
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,880
No, we we all did.

176
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,320
It was a great. It was a good lineup.

177
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,800
I mean, hit them with bangers.

178
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,960
The Birmingham guys came down. They did good.

179
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,080
Twenty five people, 25 people signed.

180
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,560
It's huge. Yeah.

181
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,560
By the end, Jonathan was wiping off the tables for them

182
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,880
because they were like, it's time to go. Yeah. Yeah.

183
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,600
But it was fun. It was a great night.

184
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,200
Well, JJ, you killed that shit. I got to tell you, I know you don't like compliments,

185
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,800
but I'm telling everybody was talking about it too.

186
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,080
It's in the groom. You fucking murdered.

187
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,440
And I'm not sure. Am I bullshitting?

188
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,240
And you were fucking amazing.

189
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,600
Like, dude, that was your best night.

190
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,880
I fucking hate you. And it was 10 minutes.

191
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,360
Watch the tape. You had these people like, dude,

192
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,520
I felt like I was watching a fucking experience, like a movie.

193
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,840
How these people act.

194
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,680
Because no, I'm not joking, dude.

195
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,200
The way you control that crowd, that worked, man, because they were like,

196
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,400
ooh, you really had your joke structure.

197
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,040
Each joke you told was in the perfect form, perfect placement.

198
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,280
And it just went over. I know you hate this.

199
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,920
This is worse than bombing. I know.

200
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,160
I know. They need to know.

201
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,800
They need to know if they come out and see JJ do 10 minutes,

202
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,640
he's doing some banger shit.

203
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,480
Well, I appreciate it.

204
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,360
But yeah, it was fun.

205
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,640
It was cool to be able to do 10 minutes because like mostly on any show

206
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,880
or most open mics, the most I've ever done is like five.

207
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,280
Sometimes you get seven.

208
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,840
Some of the other open mics.

209
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,680
So to do 10, it gives you a while to get up there and get more confident,

210
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,840
like gain your composure because you're five minutes into it

211
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,000
when you would normally get off and you still got five minutes left to do.

212
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,160
So you got more time to think more stuff to like react to,

213
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,040
say the jokes, see what they like, what they don't like.

214
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,520
You can switch the order.

215
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,720
And since you have more time, you have more time to throw in

216
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,840
just like off the like stuff off the cuff on the fly kind of. Yeah.

217
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,680
So you can relax and you're not rushing to get that that done.

218
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,000
And Jonathan helped me out a lot because before I went up there,

219
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,960
I was like, yeah, man, I don't know.

220
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,320
It might be more like 11 or 12.

221
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,680
I don't know how long it's going to take.

222
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:36,880
He said, just do just get comfortable.

223
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,520
Do your time. Even if I liked you, don't worry about it.

224
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:40,760
And I was like, hell yeah.

225
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,320
Hell yeah. I think you do. I was scared as fuck, though.

226
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,320
I think you did 11, like, or something and a half. Yeah.

227
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,600
Something like that. But it was good. It was fun time.

228
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,080
Hell yeah. It was a good time. That was a good mic, too.

229
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,040
I mean, it was bangers, bangers.

230
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,160
I saw sci fi go up.

231
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,320
You saw and I saw a part of Kim.

232
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,680
OK, yeah, she. Oh, Kim Margaret.

233
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,600
Kim murdered Justin Ledlow.

234
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,160
He did. He he he killed Jake Kiehl.

235
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,640
It was like it was like a span of like when you started till about like six

236
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,880
or seven, like everybody was killing and the crowd was loving that shit.

237
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,000
That's awesome.

238
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,920
And then whenever the Birmingham guys went up, they were all I mean,

239
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,320
I thought they all were funny.

240
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,800
At the end, they were like they were like,

241
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,600
we need to squash this Huntsville and Birmingham beef.

242
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,840
Is there a beef beef? I didn't know that.

243
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,280
I know the beef North versus South.

244
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,520
We've done this. We beef in a comedy.

245
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,120
It's a Wendy's.

246
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,200
You go out to a comedy show.

247
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,920
There should be nobody there beefing.

248
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,440
No, it's the craziest cast of characters.

249
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,160
You just the worst people from every walk of life, like the worst person

250
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,160
you can imagine from each setting.

251
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,440
Yeah. Like locally, it's just one got one representative from each.

252
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:53,280
What the fuck are we fighting about?

253
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,000
All right. It's like being in a spider versus like you see him.

254
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,080
You all like any motherfuckers all like me.

255
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,320
They're all crazy.

256
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,320
She said, I want to I want to meet the Birmingham version of Brandon.

257
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,400
I mean, somehow worse because it's very

258
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,480
that'll be great. Tell me a story.

259
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:08,720
Even I look at my day.

260
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,440
I am. I met his match, dude.

261
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,600
Like I didn't grow up in the hood, man.

262
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,640
I grew up in the jungle. So, oh, OK.

263
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,040
I got raped by animals.

264
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,160
Not me. I was about to open a universe.

265
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,960
Yes. OK, Brandon.

266
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,680
Wink wink.

267
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:29,840
Why the fuck I wink with you?

268
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:30,760
Oh, yeah.

269
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,600
Only once, man.

270
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,520
Only once.

271
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,520
What you get it.

272
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,280
Only. Yeah.

273
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,720
Well, yeah, we did have one incident that I think about in second grade.

274
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,920
Oh, was it animal?

275
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,120
Yeah, it was like a dog, man.

276
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,720
I remember I was just getting over my fear.

277
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,440
And then my friend showed me a backyard.

278
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:48,800
He's like, hey, man, here come my dog.

279
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,840
I was like, hell yeah.

280
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,040
And the dog liked me too, too much.

281
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,160
It jumped on my ass, tried to rape me.

282
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,000
My friend, he was trying to beat it with a stick. Get off my friend.

283
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,760
And I'm getting raped.

284
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,400
It was fucked up. My sad ass.

285
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,360
It's horrible shit, man.

286
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,360
It was a child child. His name was Badger.

287
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,160
He was bad. Child childs are mean as hell.

288
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,560
OK, now I'm with you. Badger trying to badger into me.

289
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,240
He penetrated? No.

290
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,720
No. You said you got raped.

291
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,120
And I had my clothes. He was trying.

292
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,720
He kept. And I was like trying to get you.

293
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,680
But I couldn't do shit. Big ass dog.

294
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:19,160
My friend couldn't do shit either.

295
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,600
So how long?

296
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,440
It was like a minute or two until we were like.

297
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,960
And nobody helped me.

298
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,680
Except my friend that couldn't do shit.

299
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:32,720
And you're walking home, seeing that fucking kid yelling for help.

300
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,760
Child child.

301
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,920
He said a minute or two.

302
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,040
He got paid. You got paid by.

303
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,040
I got nothing, dude.

304
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,600
That's fucked up, man.

305
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,040
Yeah, that is fucked up, Brandon.

306
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:44,880
I'm sorry, man.

307
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,200
God. That's why I stand up whenever a big dog come up.

308
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,680
Fuck that pit bull doing.

309
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:54,920
But that makes sense.

310
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,720
But where did the fear of cats come from?

311
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,320
You've come a long way in a short amount of time.

312
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,040
Oh, yeah, I love cats now.

313
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,200
Throw up the picture of Brandon with a cat.

314
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,600
I love them, man.

315
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,680
But my fear of cats because I'm not used to cats.

316
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,760
I haven't really seen a cat. Never held one.

317
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,600
I don't know what they do.

318
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,600
When I hold them, I was scared.

319
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Like, what if he jumped on my face? I don't know.

320
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,280
I know. All I know is they got hype.

321
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,640
And if something got hype, that kind of fucks with me a little bit.

322
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,240
Like when I saw a mouse, I was like hold up.

323
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,800
This nigga run up my leg. I don't know.

324
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,200
That's what I'm worried about.

325
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:24,880
The hype.

326
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,640
Well, you should be worried about, dude.

327
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,080
Horses, bro. Horses.

328
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,280
I saw this firsthand recently.

329
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,840
Horses fuck people up, dude.

330
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,800
So my girlfriend, she liked riding horses and shit.

331
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,840
So she went out to this farm and it was a horse she used to own.

332
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,320
But now somebody else bought it, but they're cool.

333
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,480
So she rides it. OK.

334
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,480
And it was a we went out there and she was bringing them down this hill

335
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,240
to where these jumps are and shit.

336
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,040
They like jump. It's real picturesque.

337
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,160
You know, it looks like fucking Lisa Frank, Trapper Keeper.

338
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,320
And she she got on the horse and I go to sit down

339
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,840
and I pull out my phone because I'm an asshole.

340
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,880
I guess I hear something.

341
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,800
I look up, I just sat down.

342
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,520
She is horizontal to the ground, like seven feet in the air,

343
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,920
slams into the fucking earth.

344
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,120
The horse is running.

345
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,760
The horse got spooked by something.

346
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,360
So he like dropped his shoulder, but then bucked up and flung her up.

347
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:17,840
And she hit the ground.

348
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,880
It looked like Brock Lesnar had F5 her because her body was spinning

349
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,760
like helicopter blades.

350
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,480
Yeah. And she fucking slammed into the earth.

351
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,320
And I went over there to try to help her.

352
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240
And she got up and she was like, fuck off, dude.

353
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,440
We got to go get this horse.

354
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,960
And I was like, oh, damn, that's tough.

355
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,040
Soldier, right?

356
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,480
I got never fucking with her.

357
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,760
She is crazy.

358
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,520
Oh, yeah.

359
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,520
I will never get on a horse just because I saw it.

360
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,560
It was crazy to got ragdolled plummeted.

361
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,920
That's so hard as fuck.

362
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,360
But she got right back up.

363
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,080
And you did the horse fall?

364
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,160
No, the horse didn't fall. He just ran off.

365
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,520
OK. And then we had to go find him.

366
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,680
And it was I mean, he's a white horse.

367
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:58,640
So you see him easy. But it was he would come back if you call.

368
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,040
Like when you found him.

369
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,120
Yeah, he was chill.

370
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,800
He went over to one of the other horses and was like licking them.

371
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,920
And I don't know what the fuck.

372
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,040
Damn. So it's some behavior.

373
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:07,840
I don't fuck you.

374
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,000
I don't know. Nobody gives a fuck.

375
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,520
I don't know. That's crazy.

376
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,360
That's why I took Superman out.

377
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,520
Christopher Reeves, a horse.

378
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,280
Yeah. Oh, yeah.

379
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,840
That's how he was paralyzed.

380
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,520
Now, for some reason, I thought you were talking about in the movie.

381
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,840
I'm like, how the fuck does a horse kill?

382
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,320
I thought of John Wick for a second.

383
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,320
I don't know why the fuck. I heard Reeves.

384
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,400
Yeah, I heard Reeves.

385
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,440
You said Chris Real.

386
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,640
Like, yeah, Chris Real. OK.

387
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,600
I know exactly what you're talking about.

388
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,640
Yep. Thank God.

389
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,520
Did y'all see John Wick 4, man?

390
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,400
No, I haven't seen.

391
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,640
I just started rewatching all of them on Netflix.

392
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,240
They don't have four on there, right?

393
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,880
That's the newest. That's the newest one.

394
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,520
So I just rewatched one and two and I'm on three now.

395
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,880
I think I've seen them.

396
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,680
I mean, I definitely seen one and two.

397
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,800
I'm pretty sure I've seen three, but I don't know if I've seen four.

398
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,080
I love John Wick, dude.

399
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,560
It's such like a brain dead movie you can watch.

400
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,400
Just throw it on.

401
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,400
And it's cool enough to where it's acceptable because like you can make fun

402
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,680
of people for watching some movies, but John Wick is just cool enough.

403
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,000
Oh, come on. I mean, if you were looking for an action flick.

404
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,720
Yeah. You just don't have to pay attention to it.

405
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,960
The story isn't that complex.

406
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,840
Yeah. So you just watch it and Keanu Reeves is shooting somebody

407
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,200
and he's got nunchucks and then he's hitting somebody with a car

408
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,480
and a dog comes in and there's an explosion.

409
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,360
Dude, it's fucking awesome. Fucking beautiful.

410
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,280
I love it.

411
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,280
You know, I watched it tonight.

412
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:26,600
You never seen them? Never.

413
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,080
Any of them? Never seen any of them.

414
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,680
Dude, we should have a movie night.

415
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:30,440
We do need to have one.

416
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,960
We watch all the John Wicks. Hell yeah.

417
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,040
That would take forever.

418
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,200
It would take a long time.

419
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,760
You know, my old ass be knocked the fuck out.

420
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,840
After one and a half.

421
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,040
You know, one thing I just saw that.

422
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,120
I know you know, Don.

423
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,240
Blazing Saddles. Oh, yeah, that's really good.

424
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,720
And I saw that last night for my first time, man.

425
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:47,960
Fucking amazing.

426
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,600
You're talking about going for it.

427
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,160
Talking about going for it. That was risky, but dude, perfect.

428
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,440
Perfect. Have you seen it?

429
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,240
Blazing Saddles. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

430
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,240
That's where the Hitler.

431
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,280
I was like, where the fuck? That's from his other movie.

432
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,760
That was a cameo.

433
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:00,640
That's what's up, man.

434
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,560
Yeah. That's what comedy is right there.

435
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,280
Blazing Saddles, because people used to say it's like the funniest

436
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,880
movie of all time, and I didn't see it till probably, you know, ten years ago.

437
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,120
And then I'm like, for me, that's not that long.

438
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,360
But I didn't see it till like ten years ago.

439
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,200
And I'm like, oh, my God, this movie is crazy.

440
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,720
Yeah. Still, especially now watching it now.

441
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,800
I'm going to try to cancel like a whole bunch of dead people in the movie.

442
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,280
It's a different time. But it's but it's perfect.

443
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,560
I mean, it's a great movie.

444
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,160
It's making fun. People need to understand.

445
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,880
It's making fun of the situation and that. Yeah.

446
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,280
But that's it. That's that's a great movie.

447
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,440
I'm glad you watched that. I love all those, man.

448
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,640
Like, I really like the interview.

449
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,680
Oh, yeah. I really like Team America, World Police.

450
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,200
Yeah. Oh, yeah.

451
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,480
Love that shit, man.

452
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,680
Matt Damon sucks and Ben Affleck's gay.

453
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:49,600
I love that.

454
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,440
I just love it, dude.

455
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,280
I wish people still took risks like that.

456
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,000
Like nobody's going to make a movie about like Russia, Ukraine.

457
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,800
No, you know, nobody's going to make a comedy movie about that.

458
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,320
Saturday Night Live might one day be.

459
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,520
Fuck, no.

460
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,600
I think maybe it's going to take some.

461
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,040
I mean, the closest thing we got is the interview.

462
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,200
But you got to think about it like Chappelle show.

463
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,680
He was making those skits about what was going on in like real time.

464
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,320
Yeah. Everything.

465
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,480
And now we just kind of we do it in terms of politics.

466
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,680
But if anything sensitive, like

467
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,320
you're not going to see a fucking Israel Palestine SNL sketch, you know.

468
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,200
Now it's I think but I think that's not going to want to pick sides,

469
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,400
but you don't need to pick sides and make fun of everybody.

470
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,360
Make fun of everybody.

471
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:34,400
Anybody get it.

472
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,880
Because you don't make fun anybody, then that's a little discrimination

473
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,600
towards the person that you're not joking on.

474
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,200
Thank you. Why the fuck you not joking on me?

475
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,400
Brandon's dropping fucking gems.

476
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,720
God damn it.

477
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,360
That Bud Light's kicking in.

478
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:49,480
Oh, yeah. Like if everybody was joking on one person,

479
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,720
if this dude was joking to everybody except for me, I'd be like,

480
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,480
what the fuck's wrong with me?

481
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:54,400
Like, that's what I'd be saying.

482
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,560
Just because you wrote that bust on me, you can't get jokes on.

483
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,040
Exactly. Yeah. Brandon knows better than everybody.

484
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Hell yeah.

485
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,960
My mom didn't trust buses. She'd take me there personally.

486
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,920
She was like, fuck the bus.

487
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,480
Which bus were you supposed to be on?

488
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,320
I think the normal one.

489
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,360
No, I'm OK. I hope no.

490
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,640
Hell yeah. Hell yeah, man.

491
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,920
I mean, I helped load somebody on a small one once.

492
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,080
I was like, you need some help up there.

493
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,240
Let me help you up in there.

494
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,600
Because you're a good guy. Hell yeah, I'm a good man.

495
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,600
Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

496
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,280
So we went out after the show, right?

497
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,440
You had to go to work so you didn't come.

498
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,720
Brandon didn't come.

499
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,640
Well, we went to Moody Mondays.

500
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:33,920
We get there.

501
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,480
It's me, Alex Z, Jake, and then two of my friends. Right.

502
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,080
I go. We were in there for about an hour.

503
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,920
I go up to sing karaoke. Come back. It's karaoke bar.

504
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,280
Come back. My friend goes up to sing.

505
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:51,240
And I'm like, the waitress goes up and she's like, we have to stop everything.

506
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,560
Everybody has to get out.

507
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,840
And we're like, what the fuck?

508
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,200
You know what I'm saying? It's like 12 o'clock.

509
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,000
What is open till two?

510
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,880
And then my boy who was up on stage, he's like, no, we really have to leave.

511
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,080
She said as a bomb threat. Oh, damn.

512
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,680
So they called a fucking bomb threat in the Moody Goddamn Mondays.

513
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,920
If you know it, it's like a it's like a dive karaoke bar

514
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:12,720
with maybe 30 people in it.

515
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,560
It's not the classiest establishment. No, it's not.

516
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,280
Not a place that you should be calling bomb threats into. Yeah.

517
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,880
But what time was it?

518
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,080
This was like at probably like at 12 something.

519
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,960
So we all went outside and they were like, OK, we'll just have the cops sweep it.

520
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,280
They they swept it real quick, made us go like a fucking far, like

521
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,800
100, couple hundred feet.

522
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,280
And then they came and swept.

523
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,720
We got to come back in.

524
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,000
But my theory is somebody just broke up with their girl, right?

525
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,240
She's on Snapchat or something along that Moody's.

526
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,040
He's like, you ain't getting nothing if I get no pussy.

527
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,440
So bomb this bitch up.

528
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,760
You know what? That was good.

529
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,560
I love that shit.

530
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,880
I'm honestly there's like a 50 50 shot that that's the case.

531
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,120
Like, I really think that's a possibility.

532
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:00,200
I think it's a strong boss or talent.

533
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,960
Oh, it might have been Alan.

534
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,880
They could have been. You never know.

535
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,520
Alan, I know you're watching this man.

536
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,840
That's fucked up, dude. It's real fucked up.

537
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,320
Shout out, Alan.

538
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,240
I love you, Alan.

539
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,520
They did fuck you over about that paintball gun.

540
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,680
And then we know you invented it.

541
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,640
We know it couldn't convince us any other one.

542
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,720
Yeah, it couldn't convince us any other.

543
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,720
Oh, shit. I love it, man.

544
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,440
Oh, speaking of disgruntled people, we got our first.

545
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,920
I don't know if this person is fucking with us.

546
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,240
I said YouTube comments. Oh, yeah.

547
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,360
So so so like we put up shorts about the flat earth thing.

548
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:45,400
He was like, do you guys know that the earth is as flat?

549
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,800
You know, that's how they measure it, because I said something about

550
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,320
that they got to have the equation and get in outer space.

551
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,480
It's like it's measured flat.

552
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,560
And I'm like, and I'm like, we don't deal with facts around here at clown college.

553
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,120
We're making a joke. He's like, answer my question.

554
00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:00,040
Oh, do you know the world is flat?

555
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,440
And I'm like, and I'm just fucking with him.

556
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,240
You know, I'm just going back and forth with him.

557
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,000
And I'm just like, I'm like, I'm like, yeah, man.

558
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,400
He's like, I don't understand what you're saying.

559
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,880
Is the you know, the world's flat and I'm like, we're retarded.

560
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:14,600
You know what I'm saying? We're slow.

561
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,200
We don't really you know what I'm saying?

562
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,520
And then he's like, I don't find your whom you your shit's funny.

563
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,280
You're trying to spread misinformation.

564
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,840
This is a person who thinks the world is flat saying we're trying to spread

565
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,800
misinformation on a comedy.

566
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,880
It's like, yeah, but you can't hide the truth behind your shitty joke.

567
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,360
I don't know. It's just weird.

568
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:37,560
Who the fuck cares?

569
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,800
I was thinking like arguing about all this shit that does not matter.

570
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,520
They can't. They can't.

571
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,720
They care, dude.

572
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,320
And I don't know if this person's fucking with me.

573
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,280
I don't know.

574
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,000
And like I was started talking about a loose sheet, a loose

575
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,360
in trigonometry or geometry.

576
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:54,080
Who the fuck knows what? No.

577
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,000
What does that mean?

578
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:55,520
That's what I know.

579
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,480
Nobody actually knows what that means.

580
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,680
First of all, what do you think I did?

581
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,840
I googled the shit out of it.

582
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,520
I know you said, yeah, the earth is actually in a lip.

583
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:09,040
So like, OK, when I saw that, GBT, I was laughing so hard

584
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,480
because I just pictured your voice.

585
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,720
You like, well, that's because we're retarded.

586
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,480
The fuck is an ellipsoid, dude?

587
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,320
I have the Google circle.

588
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,080
Why do we have to complicate this?

589
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,160
It's a sphere. Yeah, exactly.

590
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,160
I mean, but this person clearly believed that the earth was flat.

591
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:26,600
And then I got to the end.

592
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,040
I was like I was like he was like, no, you're trying to spread misinformation.

593
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,080
The world's flat.

594
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,840
And then I'm like, it's like it's not fucking flat.

595
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,920
It's it's in a dome.

596
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,680
You fucking dumbass.

597
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,680
No, it's half.

598
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,120
Well, I think that's what they believe.

599
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:45,280
I'm pretty sure they believe flat earthers because they found out,

600
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,800
you know, it's easy to find out it's not fucking flat.

601
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:52,480
Right. But and then they were like, no, it's actually in a dome.

602
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,320
That's why they have this whole fucking thing.

603
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,760
They really believe that shit.

604
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,000
I have friends who believe

605
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:00,960
I have friends who believe a lot.

606
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,480
I thought flat earthers would be good salt of the earth people, you know.

607
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,400
I didn't know that they were in the science.

608
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,520
I thought they were more like Amish.

609
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,440
And I was I'm very disappointed to know that they're just nerds

610
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,880
that think there is this fucking flag.

611
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,120
Yeah. And get mad at you like this.

612
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:16,120
Ain't NBC. It's not like the whole world.

613
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:18,080
Oh, shit. I can't believe Dom said that.

614
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,720
If you are listening to this podcast to get any question answered,

615
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,120
you're not like tune out.

616
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:27,520
Please don't take everything we say serious.

617
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:29,120
You can.

618
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:29,880
I mean, you can.

619
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,960
Any rational person who will watch this, but they clearly don't have a clue.

620
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,400
And they're just trying to be funny.

621
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,560
And we're just joking.

622
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,200
But I love it. I'm not going to lie to you.

623
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,440
I had a great time this morning.

624
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,640
Yeah, you replied a lot.

625
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,400
I replied a lot. You put effort in it.

626
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,160
That was funny, man.

627
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,160
If you would have said something else, I would have replied again.

628
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,560
You are researching the shape of the earth in real time to respond to this.

629
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,360
I love it.

630
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:52,760
If you guys want it, you guys can even be trolling.

631
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,520
That might also be Alan.

632
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,760
Honestly, that might be Alan as well.

633
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:57,440
It could be.

634
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,160
I mean, what put a pastor.

635
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,200
Oh, Alan.

636
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,360
He's going to see it.

637
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:04,400
He's a real wild card, that guy.

638
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,360
And he going to pull out that cane and beat us with it.

639
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:07,800
He's like, what the boom.

640
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,840
I trip Alan on that.

641
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,200
On the first whip.

642
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,760
Nice slip.

643
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,640
I thought he did it.

644
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,600
Oh, yeah, you were right.

645
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,200
Nice slip, Alan.

646
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,800
Nice slip.

647
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,480
That's how weird it's like, man.

648
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,800
Oh, shit.

649
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:26,400
I'm not going to lie.

650
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,560
I triggered myself when I said wild card, dude, after I just watched the Jacksonville

651
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,400
Jaguars get demolished by the five wind titans.

652
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,200
To get into, man.

653
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,960
To get into, dude.

654
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,000
Better luck next year.

655
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,640
It's we deserve it, dude.

656
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,120
Like, it's just like you got to you got to win those games

657
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,800
against a shitty team, even though the shitty teams playing, you know, teams

658
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,080
people think like, oh, I want them to get a worse draft pick.

659
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,840
They're playing. They got to put them on tape.

660
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,760
A lot of them ain't going to be on that team next year.

661
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,880
Yeah. And so but you had to lose a game like that.

662
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,960
Like it's my games going on right now.

663
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:02,480
I'm a Packers fan and we're playing the Bears and the Bears

664
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,680
have been looking good the last couple of weeks.

665
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,880
We're probably about

666
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,960
15 minutes into the Packers game and watch out.

667
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,280
I'm going to go out there and I'm going to push his glasses.

668
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,280
They take the time.

669
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,520
Yeah, my contacts are fucking up.

670
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,720
I had to put on my studious glasses.

671
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,440
You want to match Scott today?

672
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,920
I say you want to match today.

673
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:24,680
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

674
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,400
Got the glass.

675
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,320
There is a striking resemblance between you and our guest.

676
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,640
You just got to be bald.

677
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,200
The the great Scott Easton, he's getting there.

678
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,200
Oh, yeah. I keep on saying I think I just said his name wrong.

679
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,240
Yeah, I'm going to say it.

680
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,240
I'm going to say it wrong when we're on here on accident.

681
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,160
I want you to know it's not.

682
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,880
I just said Easton is Easton.

683
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,160
Easton, Scott Easton, Scott Easton.

684
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,840
I fucked that up. There's no tea.

685
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,760
I know, but I'm a fool. I know I'm a fuck it up.

686
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:46,960
It's OK, man.

687
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,280
I probably won't say his name, but he's one of the.

688
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,840
Scott. Yeah, just Scott.

689
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,640
Yeah, he's one of the founding fathers of Huntsville.

690
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,560
Oh, gee, the OG of the scene.

691
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,680
I think there's what I think they say four or six.

692
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,680
And he's one of them that's still going.

693
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,440
And he's fucking hilarious.

694
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,320
Yeah, funny as hell.

695
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,800
Really, dude, this dude, so he's so quick.

696
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,480
Like he's so quick. His material is good.

697
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,320
I think you guys going.

698
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,480
I think it's going to be a good episode.

699
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,360
He's going to talk a lot of shit.

700
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:12,600
Good roaster. Yeah.

701
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,600
I think he's going to talk a lot of shit in here.

702
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,000
I should have wrote some roast down for him.

703
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:16,800
But I didn't.

704
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,520
You know, watch some clips.

705
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,840
Oh, yeah. Let's do it.

706
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:22,800
Clip of the week.

707
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:25,960
Go in a way,

708
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,120
the recent found out what race play for one was.

709
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:33,640
And if you don't know, it's like when white women say

710
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,120
the N word in various types of ways.

711
00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:39,280
And I'm into it.

712
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:46,520
So if any of you guys want to say any ladies in here, you know, I won't tell.

713
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,880
I like how that joke goes from I'm into a weird type of porn.

714
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,280
White women say the N word.

715
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,680
That's the that's the track it goes on.

716
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,760
It's hilarious, dude.

717
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,600
Appreciate it. Appreciate it.

718
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,320
Because I was literally thinking,

719
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,880
well, first of all, I found this on Twitter.

720
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,240
OK, just want to be transparent.

721
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,200
It's nice.

722
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,880
I thought it was only like one bit because of one video rotating around.

723
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,280
And then the way she says it, like her lip comes up and I'm like,

724
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,440
why am I why am I turned on by this?

725
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,880
And it was true evil.

726
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,880
And then I was like, he was like, this shit popped up on my time

727
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,520
and then he's like, it's a whole thread of that was like, hold on.

728
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,040
There's more. Oh, shit.

729
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,480
I found out there was an isolated occurrence.

730
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:36,800
This is a thing.

731
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,360
It's a big established institution.

732
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,560
That's funny. I can see it now.

733
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,840
You like, wait, hold up now.

734
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,200
Yeah, like this shit.

735
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,960
I was like, so it's been it has been my thing for the past couple of months.

736
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,600
Crazy, dude.

737
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,840
You know, it's really crazy. The rock hard.

738
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,680
Hey, man, dude, whatever works works.

739
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,840
When you were watching when you were going up,

740
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,880
you know, you had Rick Flair's retirement match, like back there.

741
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,200
And what's weird about it, of course, I didn't know this is fucking 2006.

742
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,840
When the last match like last year, how the fuck would I know?

743
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,280
Am I? Well, you don't know.

744
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,840
You're you're alone.

745
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:14,920
And well, you know what?

746
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,360
His recent match was like, what was it?

747
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:18,960
Twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two. He's like 90.

748
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,160
I know. He's like 90.

749
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,160
He was bloody as fuck that man.

750
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,360
I was like, well, not as bloody as of course, but he was.

751
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:26,400
What was worse? It didn't look good.

752
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,760
No, it was bad. Yeah, it was rough.

753
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,200
Was that worse than his Kill Tony appearance?

754
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,400
No, that was they said they cut a lot of that shit out.

755
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:40,560
Oh, and that was if you will watch Rick Flair's Kill Tony, it is painful.

756
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,000
Yeah. But it's so funny after he leaves, how ruthless Louis J.

757
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,720
Gomez and fucking Mark Norris.

758
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,760
Mark Norman is so good. He's so he doesn't give a fuck what he says.

759
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,640
He does not give a fuck.

760
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,840
He's talking about his dead son and then Mark instantly goes to that shit.

761
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,040
It was good to fuck.

762
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,240
It's hard. It's hard to watch, dude.

763
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,840
It's so incredibly hard to watch.

764
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:09,480
Yeah, because it's kind of on Rick Flair a little bit because he went on Kill Tony.

765
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,080
Yeah. He must have not did his research for you.

766
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,440
But I think it's of course, we're afraid of the fuck.

767
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,840
Kill Tony, but it's like it's more on Tony.

768
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,240
I think Tony knows that, too.

769
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,240
He should I don't think he completely explained what it was.

770
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,640
And Rick Flair was fucked up.

771
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,040
It wasn't like he was sober. He was fucked up.

772
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,040
So I think that's more on Tony. Yeah, that's more on Tony.

773
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,640
You got you got to explain what you're going to kill.

774
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Tony, you got to explain to somebody in depth and what you're going to.

775
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,040
You're about to harass these people. Yeah.

776
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,040
Come up here. We're going to try to make them pay.

777
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,440
These people come up here. We're going to try to make them kill themselves.

778
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,440
He said, yeah, see, I've seen a couple where I was like, God damn Tony, you'd have to go.

779
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,640
Yeah. But he's a big Russell and fans.

780
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,240
So he's probably just very excited, man.

781
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,240
He's so cool. I guess he's man.

782
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,560
It's got to be like his hero.

783
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,640
Yeah. You know, I mean, it's OG.

784
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,360
But, you know, yeah, everybody ain't meant for that stage right there

785
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,760
because he's fucking people up and people were people were shitty.

786
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,000
I think it was the whole thing.

787
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,640
The comics that came up there didn't do good minutes.

788
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,240
And wasn't talking to him well.

789
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,960
So, you know, Tony loves to get on these guys and Rick wasn't having it.

790
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,840
One thing I won't do.

791
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,160
Is take anybody's time.

792
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,280
I won't have nobody give me their time and I fuck with what he's

793
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,600
have no idea what he was even talking about.

794
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,240
He didn't either. I don't think he did.

795
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,160
He fully Biden down.

796
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,240
I am. All right.

797
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,640
Well, we got here. All right.

798
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:39,760
Go.

799
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,840
And now to some.

800
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,720
Some guys take their girls to dinner and the show.

801
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,400
I take my girl to dinner and I am.

802
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,280
You might think I'm a good person, but I'm not.

803
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,640
It's really narcissistic.

804
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,600
You know, no, don't worry.

805
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,200
This won't be the only short, disappointing performance I give her tonight.

806
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,120
Bless her soul, man.

807
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,520
Sometimes it's real, not good.

808
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,720
I hope everybody had a good day.

809
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:12,600
Oh, yeah, man.

810
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,400
So I had to pull that one up because, you know, she doesn't come out to all the

811
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,480
mics. So it's good to have that that clip.

812
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,720
But that's the time. That's the set right there.

813
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,480
It's the beginning of his 10 minute set.

814
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,240
And you heard the crowd pop right there.

815
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,720
And it doesn't do anything but get so much louder throughout all of his jokes.

816
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,080
This is first joke.

817
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,920
Got the crowd hooked and then didn't let him go.

818
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:35,760
Fuck good.

819
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,000
Sick of you so much to apply to get your little closet.

820
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,240
Yeah.

821
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,520
Always got to go with the self-deprecation, dude.

822
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:49,280
And if if you have something like that, if somebody come comes and is watching

823
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,400
you like I'll get nervous if somebody I know is coming to watch me.

824
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,960
But if I pointed out and it doesn't feel like, oh, I'm hiding something up there,

825
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,080
like it makes me feel more comfortable.

826
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,520
Like, just don't be afraid.

827
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,400
Like that was something I took from Ty in the last episode when we had him on.

828
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,480
Where he was like, don't be afraid to address shit that happens

829
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,880
while you're up on the stage.

830
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,240
So that was something I mean, I knew it was going to happen,

831
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,240
but I wanted to address it. Yeah.

832
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:18,360
So I it's more just like I felt like before I had to write down these jokes

833
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:23,280
and say them in this specific way, but to make them adaptable to the situation.

834
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,320
And always with my opener, I usually wait till I get wherever I'm going

835
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,720
to figure out what I'm going to say.

836
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,920
So, yeah, yeah, that's good shit.

837
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,200
I'm trying to learn from you, man,

838
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,640
because that shit was not that I was perfect.

839
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,960
That was like a special tour.

840
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,280
It was a perfect thing.

841
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,320
He's a project. My 10 minute special.

842
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,680
Yeah. Tell you, man, do you add them going crazy?

843
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,200
You could have put that out, especially with that room.

844
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,600
Didn't let low any record it. Yeah, because I get it. Yeah. Yeah.

845
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,720
Shout out. Just let alone Justin Ledlow, dude.

846
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,160
He'll be on that OG.

847
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,320
He's I think he's we do need to get him on.

848
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,720
Yeah, he founded Epic Comedy.

849
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,320
Yeah, he founded Epic Comedy Hour, which is our biggest show.

850
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,840
Like it's what people I got on Epic if you're from Huntsville. Right. Yeah.

851
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,880
Yeah. It's like been running since 2011.

852
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,960
It's a long time.

853
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,560
That is. Oh, yeah.

854
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,360
And Scott today is the runner of it now.

855
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,480
Yeah. He became a producer on the show just like a few months

856
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,520
after it started or something like that, like super early on.

857
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,600
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

858
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:29,960
But that's good shit.

859
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,200
I had to I had to throw that in there because you start fucking frowning

860
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,560
like this. So I'll show that.

861
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,280
I'm a big man. It's good.

862
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,120
I. But when it when when they're messaging in the group,

863
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:46,000
comedy group message, God, J.J. fucking murder, murder, multiple people.

864
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,800
What does that mean? I must have been murdered.

865
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Thank you, Brad. Thank you.

866
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:56,640
So I guess it's like you can't go to a killer and be like John Wayne Gacy.

867
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,880
You ain't killing people. And he's like, yes, the fuck I did.

868
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:00,960
I love it.

869
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,840
Brandon Slaymore. Yeah. OK. OK. Hold on.

870
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,960
What I'm trying to tell you here, Brandon, we're I'm about to go over there

871
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,760
and cut your mind. I know this is just I just OK.

872
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,160
So what's going on is people like, man, he just killed a kid.

873
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,000
You know, I didn't kill the kid. Yes, the fuck you did.

874
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,080
You killed it. You murdered. Amazing.

875
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,360
Hey, you know, they should.

876
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,800
Hey, this is so worse.

877
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,880
Hey, now we just need one of y'all to do good.

878
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,760
So we can turn the tables on you.

879
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,480
That was good. I had to do it.

880
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,920
That was that was good.

881
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,000
No, but dude, nobody killed on Friday.

882
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:39,720
So it was a it when I looked out there, though, the people were like smiling.

883
00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:41,920
Yeah. And shit. But they weren't making noise.

884
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,480
It was Saturday night late show.

885
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,320
You think they were already fucked up?

886
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,040
They just went nonverbal.

887
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,040
I mean, they really like the roast part.

888
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,280
Yes. They lit up on the roast.

889
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,320
Yeah. Roast the Chantica.

890
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,160
That was good.

891
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,240
I got that like when I was waiting to go up, I was looking out like,

892
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,200
I can add the credo saying, let me add that shit.

893
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,440
Because I looked at you, I'm like, historic teacher.

894
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,640
He is a teacher. Good idea.

895
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,320
What was your roast?

896
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,600
Oh, I said that he produces a secret comedy show in Huntsville called Don't

897
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,680
Tell, which is ironically the same thing he says to his students

898
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,800
after they do their extra credit assignment.

899
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,240
And I wrote that because I thought we were doing like a like roast roast.

900
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:26,160
But everybody else before me said pretty like tame jokes.

901
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,960
Like Jake said, he had a pirate name and was like went silly with it.

902
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,680
What does he look like? Nation of his one.

903
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,520
He said that right off the back.

904
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,600
He opened with Nation of that one.

905
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,120
The opening comic, Jonathan Muhammad Silver.

906
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:43,960
Oh, shit.

907
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,240
Yeah, that was good.

908
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:49,080
I think I said I was like, yeah, he has the height of an NBA player

909
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,400
and the athletic ability athletic ability of Stephen Hawking.

910
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,280
That was a good one. That was a good one.

911
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,480
And Jake hit him with the pirate shit.

912
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,280
Leanne fucked his ass up.

913
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,800
Talking about him being in those advertisements and shit.

914
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,560
Yeah, she went she went hard.

915
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,640
And then Kim, we already talked about that.

916
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:07,560
Yeah. What did you hit him?

917
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,600
You hit him with that.

918
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,840
I said the first one was I say look like Kratos and he was a historian teacher.

919
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,080
Then I went around and said he looked like every UFC fighter like Tom Zot.

920
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,240
And he had a big daggiest and then after that, I was like,

921
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:24,280
look like the green giant in the last one was Frosted Snowman during the summertime.

922
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,800
Oh, shit. That's it.

923
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,080
I got that from J.

924
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,880
Ghost and I was like, yeah, that is like I was singing a frosty.

925
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,320
I'm like, summertime frosty be a little burnt. Right.

926
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,680
But what what rose did Jonathan hit you with?

927
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,320
Oh, damn. Yeah.

928
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,280
I can't remember.

929
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,560
For me, he said it looked like one of my parents playing 9-11

930
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,720
and the other one playing January 6th.

931
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:53,680
He said I look like a school shooter from James Jones.

932
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:54,560
You know what's funny?

933
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,160
The first time I ever came to Shenanigans to watch a show,

934
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,480
I remember I was watching and the person caught me

935
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,480
when I was just like smiling, not laughing.

936
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,560
And that comedian said the exact same thing.

937
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,120
They're like, you see that school shooter with the backpack back there?

938
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,120
Who said that to you?

939
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,320
I don't know who the fuck that was.

940
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,320
I really don't. Like I haven't seen.

941
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:12,920
I don't know. It's been a while.

942
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,320
It's been a while. I haven't seen him come back.

943
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,840
But I'm like, damn, you might be right.

944
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,160
All right, guys, we'll see you in a minute. All right.

945
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,520
This week's featured comedian.

946
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:30,960
Here's what I like to do now.

947
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,520
I like to get high and I like to imagine what kind of studio killer I would be.

948
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,400
It's fun.

949
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,040
I picked out victims and everything.

950
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,240
First group of people I would like to murder.

951
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:48,640
Anyone that has a 75 to 25 percent gum to tooth ratio.

952
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,360
If you got big gums and little teeth, you're a fucking abomination.

953
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,120
I can't see everybody.

954
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,640
A couple of people in here right now are like.

955
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:10,840
It's you. I'll fucking kill you.

956
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,520
Tomorrow at work, they'll be like, where's big gums at?

957
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,400
You're dead. Fucking dead.

958
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,680
Gingivitis, got you.

959
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:22,160
That's what I see.

960
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,920
What I'm feeling is gingivitis.

961
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,120
Second group of people I would like to murder.

962
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,560
People that don't have a chin.

963
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,720
You ever met somebody with a chin before?

964
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:37,560
I was a little guy.

965
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,600
I'm like, how you fold your sheets, bro?

966
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,760
How do you put your pillows in the pillow cases?

967
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,520
Motherfucker. You do that.

968
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,920
Fucking monster.

969
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,160
Can't have you out here breathing all that shit air.

970
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:56,400
That's for me.

971
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,240
Can I smoke weed in here?

972
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:00,640
Yeah, yeah.

973
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,280
I smoke cigarettes in here.

974
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,880
What do you in my life? Weed?

975
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,440
Anybody smoke weed?

976
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:07,440
Yeah, weed.

977
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,000
You want some?

978
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Yeah.

979
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,960
Oh, man, you're fired.

980
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,400
You're destroying his equipment, Brandon.

981
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,000
You're fired.

982
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,800
We went outside of the shop one time and we were throwing a football.

983
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,440
Oh my God, to watch this man catch a football.

984
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,280
Oh no.

985
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:21,960
Yeah, it's horrible.

986
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:22,920
It's a sight to behold.

987
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,800
Hell yeah. Are you special needs?

988
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:25,920
A little bit.

989
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,520
Actually, I'm a little bit.

990
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,840
I'm glad we're getting into this right out of the ass.

991
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,840
Hell yeah.

992
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,800
I've had that question for forever.

993
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,920
I'm glad you can own that.

994
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:35,920
Yes, I will.

995
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,040
Hell yeah.

996
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,280
That's hilarious.

997
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,640
So we got somebody here.

998
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,680
Yeah. Very special guest.

999
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,440
Oh, are we doing it?

1000
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,760
Oh yeah, we're on right now.

1001
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,680
What I just said wasn't on there, was it?

1002
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,360
Don't put that in there.

1003
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,360
It all stays there.

1004
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,160
Oh, it's there.

1005
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,640
It's fine.

1006
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:56,680
I said it the good way.

1007
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:57,680
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1008
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:58,680
That was the best way to do it.

1009
00:39:58,680 --> 00:39:59,880
It was the best way.

1010
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:00,720
The lesser of two evils.

1011
00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:01,760
It was, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1012
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,560
The difference?

1013
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:04,560
Word. Progress.

1014
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,160
No, today we have a very, very special guest.

1015
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,040
One of the godfathers of Huntsville comedy.

1016
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,840
He produces a show called Epic Comedy Hour.

1017
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,680
Yes, the best.

1018
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,720
You can check him out on Instagram, Facebook,

1019
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:18,320
all that good stuff.

1020
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,280
Multi-talented, like a lot of our guests, musically inclined.

1021
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,640
He's a member of the Beastie Goys.

1022
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:25,480
That is correct.

1023
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,640
We'll get into that and we'll get into that.

1024
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,680
But today we have Scott Easton.

1025
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:30,520
Hey!

1026
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:31,360
Hello.

1027
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,400
Yeah, hell yeah.

1028
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,240
Hell yeah.

1029
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:35,080
What's up, man?

1030
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:35,920
Thanks for coming.

1031
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:36,760
Of course.

1032
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:37,880
Thank you for having me.

1033
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,120
I'm honored to be here with all of you young people.

1034
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,120
I ain't that young.

1035
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:46,400
I wasn't talking to you, man.

1036
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:47,240
Yeah.

1037
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,560
I'll speak to you when I'm speaking to you.

1038
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:52,400
I love it.

1039
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,400
So you're one of the forefathers of the Huntsville scene,

1040
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:58,520
right?

1041
00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,360
Yeah.

1042
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:00,360
Which one are you?

1043
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,480
George Washington?

1044
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,160
Man, I don't know.

1045
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:11,160
So I'll just give you the background real quick.

1046
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,200
Maybe this might answer some of the questions you may have.

1047
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:19,200
But when I wanted to do comedy,

1048
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:22,200
when a lot of us did, back in the day,

1049
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,560
there was no comedy here in Huntsville.

1050
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:24,800
There was nothing.

1051
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,120
We didn't have a single open mic.

1052
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,000
We didn't have anything.

1053
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,680
We had a comedy club here once that burned down in 1990.

1054
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:30,800
It was Insurance Frog.

1055
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,080
It was on North Parkway.

1056
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:34,920
And it burned down.

1057
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,760
It was called, it was a very good name, it was super unique.

1058
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,320
It was called The Comedy Club.

1059
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:42,160
Yeah.

1060
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,000
V.

1061
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:43,960
V.

1062
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,120
And it burned down.

1063
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,080
And we didn't have any comedy.

1064
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:47,920
Like there was nothing.

1065
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,040
So yearly, like Seinfeld might come here

1066
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,480
and go to the VBC or out in the arsenal.

1067
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,680
The Officers Club might bring in a comic or something like that.

1068
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,320
But civilians can't go to that.

1069
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,000
So it's like comedy was non-existent.

1070
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,360
And really, in Alabama as a whole,

1071
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,000
like Birmingham had the Stardome,

1072
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,400
which has been open since 1983 as a comedy club.

1073
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,280
But they didn't really have much

1074
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,880
of an independent scene either.

1075
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,240
And Nashville was nowhere near what it is now.

1076
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:14,840
Even then, Nashville was kind of like

1077
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:15,880
a burgeoning comedy scene.

1078
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,440
Even though Zanies has been there forever.

1079
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,880
But one good comedy club does not a scene make.

1080
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,440
Like you need the things around it.

1081
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,640
And it's like those things weren't really happening

1082
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,120
at the time.

1083
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,520
And the South, really, besides those clubs in like Atlanta

1084
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,800
with their scene and things like that,

1085
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,320
there really wasn't much going on in the South.

1086
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,960
So we just didn't get a lot of comedy traffic down here,

1087
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,400
period, just because it was, you know,

1088
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,400
people still had that whole notion of like,

1089
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,680
oh, fucking rednecks down the South.

1090
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,080
We don't wanna go down there.

1091
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:45,920
And it's like.

1092
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:46,760
I had that notion.

1093
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,080
Yeah, of course, everybody does.

1094
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,000
That doesn't live here.

1095
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,280
And I wanna say from the bottom of my heart, fuck you.

1096
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:52,120
Exactly.

1097
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:55,920
So at the time when I wanted,

1098
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,760
I always thought I wanted to do comedy,

1099
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,200
but I had the ultimate excuse of never having to try it

1100
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,320
because it wasn't anywhere here in town.

1101
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,520
And then finally, I met a couple other like-minded people

1102
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,120
that wanted to do comedy and it was the same thing.

1103
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,880
It was like, well, there's no really to do it.

1104
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,760
And I was like, okay.

1105
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,480
I actually started performing, period,

1106
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,160
when I'm doing spoken word.

1107
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,000
Like I was doing spoken word poetry and shit like that.

1108
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,360
But would you do comedy when you were doing it?

1109
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:24,200
No.

1110
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:25,040
No, you would rarely do spoken word.

1111
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,640
Oh, I was sad.

1112
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,000
Oh, shit.

1113
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,920
Yeah, I had some sad boy shit, but you know.

1114
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,040
He's multi-dimensional.

1115
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:32,880
It was the time.

1116
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,960
It was very of the time.

1117
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,320
And finally, there's a bar in town called Chips and Salsa,

1118
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,840
still open, it's on South Parkway.

1119
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,720
They announced that they were going to do

1120
00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:48,560
a open mic comedy contest sponsored by WZYP,

1121
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,640
hosted by Mojo, who Mojo still works as ZYP.

1122
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,880
He's a radio morning personality.

1123
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:58,600
I said radio morning personality,

1124
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,640
I meant morning radio personality.

1125
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:01,480
Damn, I shouldn't have spoiled all that shit.

1126
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,280
He's my baseball coach.

1127
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:04,120
What?

1128
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,200
He's my baseball coach. Mojo was?

1129
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,320
No shit.

1130
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:07,440
Small fucking world.

1131
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:08,800
Hell yeah.

1132
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,520
So Chips and Salsa is hosting this open mic contest

1133
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,560
and this is 2009.

1134
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,200
And I'd never done comedy before

1135
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,920
and my friends were like, you always talk all this shit.

1136
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:21,760
You gotta do it.

1137
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,000
So they signed me up for the contest.

1138
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,680
And I went to the contest.

1139
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,800
I invited my family, my friends, everyone.

1140
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,760
And then I bombed horribly.

1141
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:34,960
They turned my mic off.

1142
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:35,800
Oh, really?

1143
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,160
Yeah, well, because I thought I'd never done anything before.

1144
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,040
So I thought, well, let me write about an experience

1145
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,280
I recently had and that was an experience

1146
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,640
in New York with bestiality.

1147
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,040
Now here's, I wasn't participating.

1148
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:50,280
Don't get the wrong idea.

1149
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,040
But anyway, I had seen an act of bestiality

1150
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,680
in New York City and I wrote seven minutes of jokes about it

1151
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,480
and people were not prepared for that.

1152
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,960
And I bombed real bad to the point my wife was like,

1153
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,080
please don't ever do that again.

1154
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:06,920
Oh damn.

1155
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,080
My friends, everybody was like, it was bad.

1156
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,760
But Mojo came up to me afterwards and was like,

1157
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,480
man, that was awful.

1158
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,120
I was like, thanks.

1159
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,040
And he was like, but you were really good on stage.

1160
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,200
Like he's like, I don't, you know, the content,

1161
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:23,480
get rid of that shit.

1162
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,880
Like write better jokes, but like you were very natural

1163
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:27,800
on stage, like you should try it again.

1164
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:28,640
And I was like, I don't know.

1165
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,600
And he was like, I'm gonna sign you up.

1166
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:31,880
You're signing up for next month

1167
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,240
because we're doing it again next month.

1168
00:45:33,240 --> 00:45:34,600
You know, I won't take no for an answer.

1169
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,000
I was like, okay, fine.

1170
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,000
So for a month, I just sweated.

1171
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:39,840
And here's the thing.

1172
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:40,800
I was like, nope, Mike, there was nothing.

1173
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,400
So I was like, I'm doing raw material.

1174
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,880
In a month, I wrote, you know, five or six minutes

1175
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:47,160
that I thought was really good.

1176
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,680
And I went back the next month.

1177
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,280
Nobody came this time.

1178
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,600
My wife, family, nobody, but to a full bar, I won.

1179
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:54,440
I won the contest.

1180
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,280
Oh shit.

1181
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,120
And I was like, okay.

1182
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,040
And he was like, I told you.

1183
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,080
And then I found out that the winner of the contest,

1184
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,600
not that I won 50 bucks, but then in two days time,

1185
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,040
because this was a Thursday on Saturday night,

1186
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,520
I had to open for two touring comedians at Chips and Salsa.

1187
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,160
And they were like, you got 15 minutes, right?

1188
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,880
And I was like, sure.

1189
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,520
So I, yeah.

1190
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,400
So I didn't sleep for the next 48 hours

1191
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,680
and just wrote jokes.

1192
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,040
And then I ended up doing about 14 minutes.

1193
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,240
And I did, and watching it now,

1194
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:30,280
because I have the tape, no one will ever see it.

1195
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:32,960
I played it one time at a show

1196
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,440
because it was like a throwback show,

1197
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:35,840
but nobody will ever see this tape.

1198
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,880
But I didn't do bad.

1199
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,200
People laughed, I got a lot of laughs.

1200
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,160
But looking back now, it makes me want to kill myself.

1201
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:42,000
Like it was terrible.

1202
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,320
It was like really bad.

1203
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:44,520
Let us get a little clip to insert right now.

1204
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:45,360
Absolutely not.

1205
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,720
Absolutely not.

1206
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:50,520
Well a little to get a little piece of it.

1207
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,400
Put it this way, none of the jokes that I said that night

1208
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,400
I don't think have ever been said again.

1209
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:58,960
There's a couple.

1210
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:00,840
Oh, I'll give you a sample.

1211
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:05,600
This is, again, this is, we're talking my third time

1212
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,400
on stage ever, and this all happened

1213
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,880
inside of a month.

1214
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,400
Never done comedy before.

1215
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:11,800
What was it?

1216
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,120
15 minutes, that's crazy.

1217
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,240
I had a joke.

1218
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,640
I was talking, I definitely talked about pubic hair.

1219
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,920
I was talking about the length of women's pubic hair,

1220
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,920
of course, because why not?

1221
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,360
And I definitely, I think I compared my wife's pubic hair

1222
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,960
to a Tempur-Pedic mattress.

1223
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,840
It was like, it's so thick when I lay down on it,

1224
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:34,680
it just goes.

1225
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,400
And then when I get up, it comes right back to shape.

1226
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,160
I was like, I'm glad you like that.

1227
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:46,160
And then I said something like, eating a hairy pussy

1228
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:47,920
is like eating watermelon.

1229
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,720
You take a bite and then you gotta go.

1230
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:54,560
Terrible.

1231
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:55,920
Love it, I don't know what you're talking about.

1232
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:56,760
Love it.

1233
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:57,960
Thank you, thank you.

1234
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:02,520
But what sticks out to me, that third time

1235
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,960
now that I was opening for these people,

1236
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:09,600
and their names were Mel Fine, a female comic

1237
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,800
that was touring the South a lot at the time,

1238
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,240
and her big joke was, she was kinda bigger,

1239
00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:19,160
so her big joke was she looked like a bust of can of biscuits.

1240
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:20,920
That was her big, big joke.

1241
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,160
And then another guy who, his name escapes me right now,

1242
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:25,240
but he's still in comedy.

1243
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:29,320
He actually runs a record label out of Kentucky,

1244
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:30,160
if I'm not mistaken.

1245
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,720
Anyway, my father-in-law was there,

1246
00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:34,800
and I did a 9-11 joke too.

1247
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,240
I can't remember the 9-11 joke, it was dumb.

1248
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:41,280
But of course, just edgelord bullshit.

1249
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,480
That's not how I did a 9-11 joke.

1250
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,240
And my father-in-law came up to me after,

1251
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:47,440
and this is like 14 minutes,

1252
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:48,800
I talked about his daughter's pussy

1253
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,240
and all kinds of stuff, and he walked up

1254
00:48:51,240 --> 00:48:52,720
and he looked kinda angry, and I was like,

1255
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:53,800
oh no, is he gonna be mad?

1256
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,640
I talked about his daughter's snout or something like that.

1257
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,560
And then he was like, don't you ever fucking tell

1258
00:48:58,560 --> 00:48:59,760
a 9-11 joke again.

1259
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,280
I was like, okay, yes sir.

1260
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:03,240
He's a vet.

1261
00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:05,400
But he's like, he's a dude.

1262
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,280
He forgot his daughter's pussy.

1263
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,520
He did not forget the worst tragedy in American history.

1264
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,440
Yeah.

1265
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:13,280
Never forget.

1266
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:19,600
So that was 2009, and then literally the next day after that,

1267
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,720
they canceled comedy at Chips and Salsa

1268
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:25,680
because the ABC board came in and said

1269
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,320
that your liquor license does not zone you

1270
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,120
for live entertainment.

1271
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,480
So they could not do comedy anymore.

1272
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,320
And that was like, they had plans, like monthly shows,

1273
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,080
and I was like, okay, well now I really like this

1274
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:38,960
and I wanna continue to do it.

1275
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,200
And then there was nothing.

1276
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,800
And then the best thing you could do

1277
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,280
was drive to Nashville and you could do an open mic

1278
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,760
and you could get 90 seconds after driving two hours.

1279
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:48,880
90 seconds.

1280
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:50,960
Or you could go to Birmingham and try to do a mic

1281
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,560
at the Stardome back when they had it there,

1282
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,080
and that was like Vietnam.

1283
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:55,480
It was the worst ever.

1284
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,320
And it was like two minutes and just fucking hot trash.

1285
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,080
So it was just like the juice wasn't worth the squeeze.

1286
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:01,960
It was really difficult, especially back then,

1287
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,560
because it wasn't, like, Congress will get in the car now

1288
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,440
and drive fucking four hours for no money

1289
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:07,560
and do five minutes.

1290
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,120
But back then I was like, that's insane.

1291
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,240
I'm not gonna do that.

1292
00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:14,480
So it just kinda took a back seat,

1293
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,520
but I continued to like write jokes

1294
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,680
because it was like I kinda, you know, I enjoyed it.

1295
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,680
So I was still writing jokes.

1296
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,600
And then there's still nothing going on.

1297
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,840
And then I met Justin Ledlow.

1298
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:28,680
And Justin.

1299
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:29,520
Shout out.

1300
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,200
Justin has just moved back to Huntsville,

1301
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,120
but Justin actually worked at the company

1302
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,000
my brother manages.

1303
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,560
So I met Justin through my brother.

1304
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,240
Justin was doing improv and Justin was like,

1305
00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:41,200
yeah, I like standup.

1306
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,720
And I was like, dude, I like standup too.

1307
00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:45,320
And he was like, yeah, I'd actually talked to a couple

1308
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:46,400
people, said you were really funny.

1309
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,120
I was like, thank you.

1310
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,760
And he was like, I'm thinking about

1311
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,160
putting on a comedy show.

1312
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:53,600
And I was like, oh, that would be cool.

1313
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,520
Like I would, you know, I'd be super interested.

1314
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,360
And he was like, okay.

1315
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,320
And then what I didn't know at the time

1316
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,200
is like some other improvisers and a couple other people

1317
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,640
that Justin knew who I would later meet,

1318
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,240
like they were in the same mindset

1319
00:51:06,240 --> 00:51:08,040
where they wanted to do comedy too.

1320
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,520
So Justin put together the very first Epic Comedy Hour

1321
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:16,400
in July of 2011 at the Low Mill.

1322
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,440
And I cannot, I attended the show,

1323
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:23,280
but I cannot, I wasn't on the show, that first one.

1324
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:24,960
But I can't even remember who the lineup was.

1325
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,360
But they did the show and this is like,

1326
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,160
this is fucking 2011.

1327
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,760
So it's like social media wasn't really a factor at the time.

1328
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,320
It was like Justin picked a great venue in the Low Mill

1329
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,400
and he hustled, you know, posters and the whole nine yards.

1330
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,440
And we had about 275 people show up to the very first show.

1331
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:47,680
And now looking back, like the quality of the comedy

1332
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,760
is fucking trash.

1333
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,520
But however, it was like, we, Justin realized like,

1334
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,280
holy shit, like we're onto something.

1335
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,320
Like this is crazy.

1336
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,800
So did it again the next month

1337
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,120
and I was on the second Epic Comedy Hour in August of 2012.

1338
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,920
And same thing, this time it was over 300 people

1339
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:08,560
came to the show a month later.

1340
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,040
And it was like, wow, Huntsville's like

1341
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:11,560
really hungry for comedy.

1342
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,840
And like right around this time,

1343
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:18,800
a couple other comedians like Tom Hand, Jonathan Craig,

1344
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,760
and you know, it's others that if I don't mention your name,

1345
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:22,600
you know who you are.

1346
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,440
But they were out there like trying to find venues

1347
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,640
to do open mics in and like the first open mic

1348
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,800
that I remember we ever had in Huntsville,

1349
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,800
comedy open mic was at Rugby's on University Drive.

1350
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,680
It was a hell hole.

1351
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,600
I mean, it was awful.

1352
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:39,560
But we were doing shit.

1353
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:43,200
Like we would go to the music open mic at Humphreys

1354
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:47,880
and sign up and do comedy and they fucking hated it.

1355
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,440
Like we would lie, they'd be like,

1356
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:50,280
okay, what are you gonna do?

1357
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:51,120
We're like play guitar.

1358
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:51,960
They're like, where's your guitar?

1359
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,080
They're like, it's in the car, I'll get it before I go up.

1360
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:55,520
And then go up there and you can hear them be like,

1361
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,560
oh, another fucking comedian.

1362
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,960
They hated it to the point that finally they were like,

1363
00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:01,000
listen, stop doing this.

1364
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,600
What we'll do is we'll take a break

1365
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,720
and then we'll let you do comedy during the break time.

1366
00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:05,760
And we were like, okay, fine.

1367
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,760
So that was like, we were struggling back then.

1368
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,440
There was like nothing.

1369
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,640
And Epic, that second month I did it

1370
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,920
and it was just like amazing.

1371
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,880
Yeah, I mean, it was just like the energy of 300 plus people

1372
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:18,720
and it was just like,

1373
00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:20,400
I'd already kind of fallen in love with comedy

1374
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:21,880
and then it kind of like the rug got pulled out

1375
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,480
from under me, but now it was like, oh,

1376
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,080
now we got this thing.

1377
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:31,920
And then after August, Justin and I at this point,

1378
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,480
we're spending a lot of time together.

1379
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:39,800
And then we came back in January of 2012

1380
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:44,120
and in January of 2012, we had 370 people come to the show

1381
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:45,840
and I was on that show.

1382
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,520
And then basically, I kind of was on a bunch of Epic

1383
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,680
for like the first year and it's just like, it kept going.

1384
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,560
It was like every month was 250, 300 people,

1385
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,080
300, 350 people, it was crazy.

1386
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:04,080
And then after the first year roughly,

1387
00:54:04,240 --> 00:54:06,400
about the first year anniversary,

1388
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:11,400
Justin asked me and Tim Kelly because we had met Tim.

1389
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,680
Tim's from Huntsville, but Tim went to Auburn

1390
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,160
and Tim had come back from Auburn.

1391
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,440
He'd started comedy in Auburn with actually a great comic

1392
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,280
by the name of Rivers Langley.

1393
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,640
And Tim had come back and so Tim had started

1394
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,400
to do comedy with us and Tim was motivated

1395
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:28,240
and really interested.

1396
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:29,800
So Justin asked me and Tim to come on

1397
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,280
as co-producers with him.

1398
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:36,000
So I've been performing on Epic since the second show.

1399
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,200
I've been a co-producer since basically the first anniversary

1400
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,200
and then I've been the executive producer since 2017.

1401
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:46,920
Hell yeah.

1402
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:47,920
It's been, yeah.

1403
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,700
Tim has been there with me the whole time.

1404
00:54:49,700 --> 00:54:51,360
We've had some co-producers come and go

1405
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,240
and now Justin has moved back from Marietta.

1406
00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:56,800
So Justin kind of took a back seat

1407
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,240
because stand-up wasn't really ever his first love.

1408
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:00,520
It was improv.

1409
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,920
But he was helping out with Epic and everything like that.

1410
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,080
And then about right there at the sixth anniversary,

1411
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:09,440
which is 2017, I had put together lineups

1412
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:10,280
and everything like that.

1413
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,240
I've been booking Epic for a very long time,

1414
00:55:12,240 --> 00:55:13,400
even before Justin left.

1415
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,700
But Justin's always been great at the marketing

1416
00:55:15,700 --> 00:55:18,320
and the posters and things like that.

1417
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,440
So Justin had backed out to the graphic design capacity

1418
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,040
and then in 2017 he was like, I'm out.

1419
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,080
I'm moving to Marietta.

1420
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,880
And he just kind of took a step back from everything

1421
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,240
and then I just kind of, I've run with it ever since.

1422
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:32,540
Expanded it and everything like that.

1423
00:55:32,540 --> 00:55:34,440
Now it's a pleasure having him back.

1424
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,320
I'm glad he's back because now he's coming back

1425
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,760
and he's very experienced in that marketing graphic design.

1426
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,520
So he's spearheading that for Epic Common Hour Presents

1427
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:46,000
because it's not only Epic, we produce multiple shows.

1428
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,040
And then he's also kind of pitching in

1429
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,640
and we're trying to steer the Huntsville comedy ship

1430
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,400
with like unified graphics and things like that.

1431
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,520
So Justin's a real boon to the scene.

1432
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:58,360
Yeah, I love how he's put out since he's been back.

1433
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:03,360
In that, those first couple of years when it was,

1434
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:08,360
Epic kind of was the kindling to the fire.

1435
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,080
Like Epic was the first thing.

1436
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:10,920
And then after that people are like,

1437
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,160
oh this is totally, like wow.

1438
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,840
There's a yearning for comedy in Huntsville

1439
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,320
and people want to see it.

1440
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:23,040
So that just caused spinoffs, like Homegrown started.

1441
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,040
And Homegrown back then was in the low mill with us.

1442
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,360
It was just on a different Friday.

1443
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,600
And Homegrown has kind of morphed and done other things

1444
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,480
but it's still hung around.

1445
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,440
And then we had open mics at Copper Top forever,

1446
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:40,640
that Wednesday at Copper Top, which honestly is,

1447
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,880
that place made me the comic that I am.

1448
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:44,520
Because that was a battle mic.

1449
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:45,960
You had to fight for everything.

1450
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,680
First time I ever had a gun pulled on me was there.

1451
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:50,640
Say what happened, stop right there.

1452
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,320
Tell us what happened there.

1453
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,480
I say pulled, actually, let me take that back.

1454
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:56,960
Not the first time one was pulled on me.

1455
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:58,840
One time a gun was flashed at me

1456
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,400
with the intent to intimidate.

1457
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:01,600
I'll say that.

1458
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,760
Because back then, Wednesday was a biker night

1459
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,960
at Copper Top, so we did comedy on a biker night.

1460
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,160
And one of the bikers one time got a little pissy

1461
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:15,160
and moved his vest and he had a 45 right there.

1462
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:16,400
Letting you know he had it.

1463
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:17,600
He was like, can I use the mic?

1464
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:19,800
And I was like, you can do whatever the fuck you want.

1465
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:20,640
Yes.

1466
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,080
And then he got up there and he told a terrible joke

1467
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:24,320
and he was like, yeah, that's all I wanted to do.

1468
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,080
And then he sat down and wasn't a problem.

1469
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,440
It was weird as fuck.

1470
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,600
But that was so. Did he get mad about a joke?

1471
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:30,720
No.

1472
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:31,680
He just came up there and was like,

1473
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:32,800
I'm gonna tell a joke right now.

1474
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:33,840
Yeah, pretty much.

1475
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,040
Pretty much, pretty much.

1476
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:37,840
It was a different time back then.

1477
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:38,680
It was a different time.

1478
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,680
But it was very, it was super exciting.

1479
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,760
It was super exciting time because it was like,

1480
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,760
we had literally built it from nothing.

1481
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:49,600
You know what I mean?

1482
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:50,560
Like there wasn't anything here

1483
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,960
and it was just like a bunch of motivated people

1484
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:55,040
thinking the same thing.

1485
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:56,040
Like, we can do this.

1486
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:57,520
And we did it.

1487
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:58,360
We appreciate it.

1488
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,920
All of us Young Comics, I know the ones before us.

1489
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:03,000
You all pioneered it.

1490
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,280
Yeah, because when I came here,

1491
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,320
I'm like, Huntsville has a comedy scene,

1492
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,760
but it's such a good comedy scene.

1493
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:09,600
It's great.

1494
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,880
It will blow people's mind, even people who live here,

1495
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,920
if they start to come out and come and see a show.

1496
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,880
Man, I'll tell you, because of Epic

1497
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,320
and what we've done over the years,

1498
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:22,280
Huntsville is known as a comedy city across the country.

1499
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,080
We've been very fortunate with Epic over the years.

1500
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,360
We've had people who have gone on to have Netflix specials,

1501
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,920
starring films, multiple late night appearances,

1502
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,720
stars of TV shows, like have all been on the Epic Comedy Hour

1503
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,960
stage here in Huntsville and they know how much

1504
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,400
the audiences appreciate comedy here.

1505
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:42,440
Very smart.

1506
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,360
They go with you on everything.

1507
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,560
So it's like, we have a great reputation

1508
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:47,560
of being a comedy city.

1509
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,560
Like, I constantly get hit up for traveling comedians

1510
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,200
that want to come through here to set up shows

1511
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:54,840
or be on existing shows that we have.

1512
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:59,720
So it's like, it's not just, we do have great comics here,

1513
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:03,160
but we have great audiences here, which is great.

1514
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,720
The funny thing is, we're really only tapping,

1515
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,080
barely tapping the potential of Huntsville

1516
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,160
and how many people we can get out to shows.

1517
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:13,800
Because there are people still who are like,

1518
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,480
I didn't really know we had a comedy scene like that.

1519
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:16,360
Like we do.

1520
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,960
So we're constantly trying to find ways to reach out

1521
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,600
and get more people.

1522
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,880
But, so we had a full functioning comedy scene.

1523
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:24,720
It was great.

1524
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,840
Like it was, we had multiple shows.

1525
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,080
We had open mics, you know.

1526
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,600
Like we had people contacting us when he'd set up comedy

1527
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:33,880
in their venues and stuff like that.

1528
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:38,440
And then I was, I'd gone up to Nashville a couple times

1529
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,440
and performed at Zany's.

1530
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:45,040
And then I get a call because of Jonathan Craig,

1531
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,200
who now Jonathan Craig is actually

1532
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,600
one of Jelly Roll's managers.

1533
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,720
Yeah, he's on Jelly Roll's management team.

1534
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,200
But Jonathan was here and Jonathan had met

1535
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,600
some of the people with Zany's and had,

1536
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,040
they were like, we wanna talk to Scott

1537
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,120
and a couple other people in the Huntsville comedy scene.

1538
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:10,440
And they actually invited us up to Zany's.

1539
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,040
And we sat down with them and talked

1540
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:13,200
and they were like, we're thinking about opening

1541
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:14,920
a comedy club in Huntsville.

1542
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,000
And he was like, you guys are, you know,

1543
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:19,600
like whenever we hear about Huntsville,

1544
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:20,560
you're the names that we hear.

1545
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,480
So we wanna talk to you about it, see how you feel about it.

1546
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,280
So I mean, they were the Dorfmans,

1547
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:25,680
which is Andrew and Brian Dorfman

1548
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:27,880
are the principal owners of Stand Up Live.

1549
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:29,120
They also own Zany's in Nashville,

1550
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,120
they're partners in multiple other clubs.

1551
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:35,400
Great people and really worked with us from day one

1552
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,240
on like, what do you wanna see in a comedy club

1553
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:39,960
and how can we work with you?

1554
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,400
So that was super encouraging that they were like,

1555
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,000
we want to get you involved.

1556
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,720
And it turned into something great.

1557
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:52,040
Stand Up Live has been open since January 2017.

1558
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,080
I was actually the first comic to ever perform there.

1559
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:55,320
No, that's awesome.

1560
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:57,640
First person to ever step foot on stage there.

1561
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:00,840
The very first night was a soft opening.

1562
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,600
It was me, Hannah Hogan and Dusty Slay.

1563
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:07,080
And then the next night at the official opening,

1564
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:08,960
it was me and Christopher Titus.

1565
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,760
I did half an hour and Christopher Titus

1566
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:12,960
did an hour and a half.

1567
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:13,800
Damn.

1568
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,520
On the grand opening of that.

1569
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:18,360
So I was like, I've been in love with that place

1570
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,280
since day one, they've treated me very well.

1571
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:21,920
That's my home club.

1572
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,400
Before that, I would say it was Zany's

1573
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,600
because in the lead up before Stand Up Live opened here,

1574
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,800
I would drive up and do weekends at Zany's a lot.

1575
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:31,880
And I still love Zany's.

1576
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:33,560
It's still one of the best clubs in the country.

1577
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:36,840
So they've always been very, very supportive.

1578
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:41,040
So sometimes people ask me, how did the club affect

1579
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:41,880
the local scene?

1580
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,000
And in my opinion, it really, it helped it.

1581
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,160
It legitimized comedy as a whole in Huntsville

1582
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,840
because people still think Stand Up Live is like,

1583
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,080
and it is because of the level of talent

1584
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:55,080
that they get there, but they have honestly

1585
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,840
been so supportive.

1586
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,520
They're my number one sponsor every year

1587
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,200
for Epic's anniversary weekend

1588
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,960
and they work with me on shows and all kinds of stuff.

1589
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,760
So then we got a club in 2017 and then since then,

1590
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:11,080
it's just been more comedians coming and going,

1591
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,880
more venues and now it's like we're in a boom.

1592
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,760
So it's like, there's a huge influx of new comics,

1593
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,200
which I'm extremely grateful for

1594
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,600
and a lot of new venues opening and new opportunities

1595
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,440
and hungry people that want to collaborate and create.

1596
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:30,360
So I really think right now we're in a really good spot.

1597
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,000
I agree, I concur.

1598
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,320
So that's kind of like, I'm leaving out a lot,

1599
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:38,280
but that's kind of like a rough history of like,

1600
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,960
Huntsville's kind of had a scene since let's say 2011, 2012

1601
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,120
and that's what the genesis and kind of leads us

1602
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:46,440
to where we are now.

1603
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,960
Okay, you know about the,

1604
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:50,600
because when you're talking about the biker bar

1605
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:52,480
that you were at, we got one now,

1606
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,880
we're on Tuesdays at Shag Nasties.

1607
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,360
So Shag Nasties is fucking Buckingham Palace

1608
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,040
compared to what Copper Top was back in the day.

1609
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:03,960
That's what Ty was telling us about on his episode

1610
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,080
where he had that, that was his first open mic was Copper Top.

1611
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:08,360
Okay yeah, and the dude came like.

1612
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,040
Copper Top made a lot of people quit.

1613
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,200
Wow, I can imagine.

1614
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:13,600
Well, have you ever been to Copper Top?

1615
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:14,920
I have not. No.

1616
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,280
Okay. I've performed there once.

1617
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:18,720
If you go into Copper Top,

1618
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,680
back when we were doing the mic there,

1619
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:25,360
it was a shotgun bar.

1620
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:26,840
You walk in the door,

1621
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,960
it's like a little opening right up front

1622
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,080
where the dart boards are and that's where the stage was.

1623
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,600
So sometimes we'd have to ask the dart people

1624
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,720
to stop throwing darts so we could like do comedy.

1625
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:37,320
And then there's a bar and a couple of booths

1626
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:38,160
and then that was it.

1627
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:38,980
Now when you go in there,

1628
01:03:38,980 --> 01:03:40,920
they've purchased like two buildings next to them

1629
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,560
and expanded into like pool rooms and darts and everything.

1630
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,320
But back then it was just this little danky

1631
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:48,160
fucking shotgun bar.

1632
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:52,400
And most comedy, a lot of open mics,

1633
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,600
and especially back then when people didn't know any better,

1634
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:56,520
it's ambush comedy.

1635
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,080
They don't know what the fuck's going on.

1636
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,040
You go in there and all of a sudden you're setting up a PA

1637
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:01,560
with a microphone and people sit at the bar

1638
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:02,400
that just came to get a drink.

1639
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,080
They're like, what the fuck's going on?

1640
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:04,920
They don't give a fuck,

1641
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:05,960
unless you're about to do comedy.

1642
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,720
Some of them might be nice and turn around and be like,

1643
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:08,960
oh cool, well I'll listen.

1644
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,320
And other people, they're gonna have full conversations

1645
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:12,160
or they're gonna turn around

1646
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:13,840
because they're drunk and talk shit.

1647
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,880
And just all of that happening at Copper Top times 10.

1648
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:19,560
So on a Wednesday you'd have bikers,

1649
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:20,920
it'd be packed with people,

1650
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:24,620
and you'd just get up there and fight.

1651
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:30,000
But it's such an important muscle to learn

1652
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:31,940
because one of the biggest things you need to learn

1653
01:04:31,940 --> 01:04:34,560
in comedy is adversity, I think.

1654
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:36,600
It makes you sharper.

1655
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:38,640
It's like, because what you had to do

1656
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:39,600
was you had to get up there

1657
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:43,080
and literally you had to learn how to control the room.

1658
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:44,520
It was a victory at Copper Top.

1659
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,640
When you get in there, it's loud,

1660
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:47,720
people aren't paying attention,

1661
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:49,040
and then all of a sudden you can tell,

1662
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:50,940
somebody tells a joke, it hits.

1663
01:04:50,940 --> 01:04:52,100
Next thing you know it's quiet

1664
01:04:52,100 --> 01:04:54,360
and you see all the heads are turned towards the stage

1665
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:56,840
and you're like, that's fucking W.

1666
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,880
And you can't learn that in soft rooms.

1667
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:02,240
Some of these open mics are like good job rooms.

1668
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:03,080
You know what I mean?

1669
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,200
It's like, good job.

1670
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,160
It's like, sometimes you don't need that.

1671
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:08,480
Sometimes you do need a pad on the back,

1672
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:10,360
but sometimes you just need, be like, fuck.

1673
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,080
That was a fucking struggle.

1674
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:14,120
You need to struggle.

1675
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,840
And that taught all of us so much

1676
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,420
that we're doing comedy at the time.

1677
01:05:18,420 --> 01:05:20,160
Because it was like, going to a room,

1678
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:21,840
people are like, this room's tough.

1679
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:23,440
And I'm like, this room ain't shit.

1680
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,480
What are you talking about tough?

1681
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,200
It's like, because I'd had a taste of what tough is.

1682
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,160
Yeah, what the tough is.

1683
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:30,880
So it was like, yeah.

1684
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,800
But that mic went for nine fucking years.

1685
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,880
It ran for nine years and it was great.

1686
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,840
I mean, we would have, I mean, mics in there sometimes.

1687
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:40,680
I mean, it would be packed.

1688
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:41,500
There wouldn't be a seat.

1689
01:05:41,500 --> 01:05:43,000
There'd be standing room only.

1690
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:44,480
People would be watching the show.

1691
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,400
Just watching it go down.

1692
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,320
And then there'd be another night where

1693
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,320
the host had to punch somebody in the face.

1694
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:51,160
Hell yeah.

1695
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:52,720
Fuck up, Michael.

1696
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:53,560
I know, yeah.

1697
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:55,160
So I mean, it was fucking wild.

1698
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,640
But I mean, it was like, it was an important tool.

1699
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,960
Like, I, when it was still going,

1700
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,200
when Stand Up Live first opened,

1701
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:03,480
I would take a headliner.

1702
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,960
Like, they'd have a one-off Wednesday show

1703
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:07,680
and I'd be on the show and then the headliner's like,

1704
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:08,520
what are you doing now?

1705
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,840
I'm like, I'm gonna go to this open mic.

1706
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:11,800
And he was like, oh, I'll go.

1707
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:12,920
I haven't been to an open mic in forever.

1708
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:14,080
And then they would go and they'd sit

1709
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,680
in the back of the room and they would say to me like,

1710
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:18,120
how do y'all do this, man?

1711
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,000
This is fucking crazy.

1712
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:21,440
And I'm like, what do you mean?

1713
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:22,960
Like, you know, I was like, what do you mean?

1714
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:26,060
And that's, you have to realize like,

1715
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,560
these people don't open mic, you know?

1716
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:31,320
Like, headliners aren't really open micing.

1717
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:32,160
It's very rare.

1718
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:33,000
They just show, show, show.

1719
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:34,080
Yeah, it's just, dude.

1720
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:39,080
Take somebody like Segura, Aziz Ansari, anybody.

1721
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:44,200
They do a club tour to open mic their shit.

1722
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,920
They're not gonna slum it and like, go do a, you know,

1723
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:48,000
go do a fucking open mic.

1724
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:52,640
No, Tom Segura can get paid $20,000 a show

1725
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:54,640
to literally go through his notebook

1726
01:06:55,540 --> 01:06:59,120
to find out what's good, to then take to an arena

1727
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:00,840
and then record it for Netflix.

1728
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:02,540
These people aren't doing shit like that.

1729
01:07:02,540 --> 01:07:03,920
Some of these guys, they do club tours

1730
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:05,480
because they're working out new material.

1731
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,600
So it's like the idea of being in this fucking bar

1732
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:12,320
with a bunch of rowdy fucking strangers trying to tell jokes.

1733
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,120
They're like, fuck, I'm like, do you wanna go up there?

1734
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:15,960
Like, fuck no.

1735
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:17,260
It's a fucking Lutely knot.

1736
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,700
But it's funny because I've been in those situations too

1737
01:07:21,700 --> 01:07:24,240
where I've taken a headliner with me to a different show,

1738
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,160
like not even here in Huntsville, in other places.

1739
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:31,160
Like, I opened for Mark Norman at Zany's

1740
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,240
and Mark's great.

1741
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:38,000
And he is, like, he'll get on stage anywhere.

1742
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:39,760
If there's a stage, he'll get up on it.

1743
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:41,040
That's one thing I love about him.

1744
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,440
He is fucking like, he's a stage maniac.

1745
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:47,960
So we had the early shows

1746
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,960
and then the late shows were a podcast at Zany's.

1747
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,320
So it was like after the early show ended,

1748
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:57,160
about nine o'clock, I could go do other spots in Nashville

1749
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:58,100
and there were other spots to do.

1750
01:07:58,100 --> 01:07:59,980
So I could literally go open for him

1751
01:07:59,980 --> 01:08:01,920
and then do two or three other spots that night.

1752
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,560
And he's like, where are you going?

1753
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,440
And I was like, I've got other spots.

1754
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:06,680
He was like, ooh, can I come?

1755
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:07,760
And I was like, yeah.

1756
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:12,020
And I took him to Third Coast Comedy Club

1757
01:08:12,020 --> 01:08:16,240
to do a show that Benton Ray ran.

1758
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,480
And Benton went on to be Whitney Cummings' assistant.

1759
01:08:19,480 --> 01:08:21,960
And Benton's living in LA now

1760
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,380
and having their own journey and everything like that.

1761
01:08:25,380 --> 01:08:28,000
But at the time, Benton was a comic in Nashville

1762
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,340
running this show called Hateful Best Friend.

1763
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:33,400
And I took Mark and he was like,

1764
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,280
hey, can you ask him if I can get a spot?

1765
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:36,120
And I was like, yeah, sure.

1766
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:37,920
But I doubt they'll have a problem.

1767
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:40,560
And he was like, okay.

1768
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,620
And I talked to Benton and he was like, yeah, of course.

1769
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:47,920
So throw Mark up there into a packed room.

1770
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,520
And this is Mark Norma from a few years ago

1771
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:54,400
that he's not the, I'd say household name he is now.

1772
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:55,300
People knew who he was,

1773
01:08:55,300 --> 01:08:58,080
but not to the degree that he is now.

1774
01:08:58,080 --> 01:08:59,020
But he gets up there, and I mean,

1775
01:08:59,020 --> 01:09:00,840
this is the guy that's headlining the fuckin',

1776
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:02,440
one of the biggest comedy clubs in the South.

1777
01:09:02,440 --> 01:09:03,640
And he gets up on the show,

1778
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:05,440
oh man, he bombed so fuckin' bad.

1779
01:09:06,440 --> 01:09:07,760
Because he was trying new shit.

1780
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:08,920
He was trying new shit, which I love.

1781
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:09,760
He was trying new shit.

1782
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:10,760
But one of the jokes he was trying,

1783
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:12,700
which I don't know if he's ever put in a special,

1784
01:09:12,700 --> 01:09:14,600
but I've heard it on social before,

1785
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,280
just how kinda old this was,

1786
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:23,280
he had a joke about Caitlin Jenner, Bruce Jenner,

1787
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,180
cutting their dick off with the edge of a rusty tuna can.

1788
01:09:27,180 --> 01:09:28,500
And he told this in Nashville,

1789
01:09:28,500 --> 01:09:31,180
like a packed room, people were like, no.

1790
01:09:31,180 --> 01:09:32,640
No, and he was just like,

1791
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,740
Gallup says, fuck it.

1792
01:09:34,740 --> 01:09:37,500
He was totally unaffected, totally unaffected.

1793
01:09:37,500 --> 01:09:40,140
And it's like, I admire that.

1794
01:09:40,140 --> 01:09:41,300
That he just got up there and he was like,

1795
01:09:41,300 --> 01:09:42,740
fuck it, he had his notebook in his hand,

1796
01:09:42,740 --> 01:09:43,940
and he's flipping pages,

1797
01:09:43,940 --> 01:09:46,140
and he's saying new jokes and new ideas,

1798
01:09:46,140 --> 01:09:48,340
and they're not working, and he's just like, ah.

1799
01:09:48,340 --> 01:09:52,220
And it's just like watching like a pro.

1800
01:09:52,220 --> 01:09:56,460
And not the first time I've seen pros bomb.

1801
01:09:56,460 --> 01:09:58,500
I've seen pros bomb before, shit happens.

1802
01:09:58,500 --> 01:10:00,260
But just seeing him and then afterwards

1803
01:10:00,260 --> 01:10:01,460
being completely unaffected,

1804
01:10:01,460 --> 01:10:04,100
and then we went to another show,

1805
01:10:04,100 --> 01:10:06,140
and he went after me and he killed.

1806
01:10:06,140 --> 01:10:08,900
He did great on another show.

1807
01:10:08,900 --> 01:10:11,740
He's a wild, wild dude.

1808
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:14,380
Super fun hang.

1809
01:10:14,380 --> 01:10:15,780
We went out on Broadway in Nashville,

1810
01:10:15,780 --> 01:10:18,540
he did some things I won't forget.

1811
01:10:20,460 --> 01:10:21,300
We will put him out there.

1812
01:10:21,300 --> 01:10:22,980
He was fucking wild, dude.

1813
01:10:22,980 --> 01:10:26,420
But that.

1814
01:10:26,420 --> 01:10:27,260
That's awesome though.

1815
01:10:27,260 --> 01:10:28,500
One thing that Copper Top.

1816
01:10:28,500 --> 01:10:30,100
Yeah, one thing that Copper Top taught me,

1817
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:33,760
and that experience, like watching a professional,

1818
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:35,900
like not do well, and it was just like,

1819
01:10:35,900 --> 01:10:37,320
water off a duck's back.

1820
01:10:38,140 --> 01:10:42,180
Like completely informed how I feel about,

1821
01:10:42,180 --> 01:10:44,400
especially open mics,

1822
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,100
and sometimes just comedy in general.

1823
01:10:46,100 --> 01:10:50,020
You cannot bomb at an open mic.

1824
01:10:50,020 --> 01:10:51,580
You cannot bomb at an open mic.

1825
01:10:51,580 --> 01:10:53,180
I tell people this all the time.

1826
01:10:54,140 --> 01:10:57,500
I used to teach the comedy classes at Stand Up Live,

1827
01:10:57,500 --> 01:10:58,880
and hopefully I will again one day

1828
01:10:58,880 --> 01:10:59,820
when we get back into it.

1829
01:10:59,820 --> 01:11:01,660
But that was one of my biggest things.

1830
01:11:01,660 --> 01:11:05,400
People at open mics get so fucking stressed out

1831
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:07,540
because they want to do well,

1832
01:11:07,540 --> 01:11:08,540
even though it's just an open mic,

1833
01:11:08,540 --> 01:11:10,100
which is like the gym.

1834
01:11:10,100 --> 01:11:11,500
It's like you're supposed to go and work out.

1835
01:11:11,500 --> 01:11:13,420
It's like it's not gonna be perfect.

1836
01:11:13,420 --> 01:11:15,380
But it's like, and I think you've seen it.

1837
01:11:15,380 --> 01:11:17,140
You've probably seen somebody not do well at an open mic

1838
01:11:17,140 --> 01:11:18,140
and talk to them after, and they're like,

1839
01:11:18,140 --> 01:11:21,420
oh man, oh that fucking sucked, bro.

1840
01:11:21,420 --> 01:11:22,980
Secret conversation we had.

1841
01:11:22,980 --> 01:11:24,580
You're like, oh that sucked, man.

1842
01:11:24,580 --> 01:11:25,580
And it's like, why?

1843
01:11:26,620 --> 01:11:28,420
You cannot bomb at an open mic.

1844
01:11:28,420 --> 01:11:30,420
Once you kind of have that freedom,

1845
01:11:30,420 --> 01:11:32,020
the world is your oyster.

1846
01:11:32,020 --> 01:11:33,320
You can do whatever you want.

1847
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,140
It frees you up to really work on things at a mic.

1848
01:11:38,020 --> 01:11:39,380
There's no consequence.

1849
01:11:40,660 --> 01:11:41,780
What's gonna happen?

1850
01:11:41,780 --> 01:11:44,060
That's the thing is people have this really,

1851
01:11:44,060 --> 01:11:45,560
comedy is so self-centric.

1852
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,600
It's very narcissistic in that when you're up there,

1853
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,340
if you don't do well, when you come off the stage,

1854
01:11:51,340 --> 01:11:54,780
you're like, man, all these people just watch me bomb.

1855
01:11:54,780 --> 01:11:55,780
They're, oh God.

1856
01:11:55,780 --> 01:11:57,800
And you look over people and they're talking.

1857
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,260
You're like, they're talking about me.

1858
01:12:00,260 --> 01:12:01,260
And they're not.

1859
01:12:01,260 --> 01:12:03,260
They don't give a fuck about you.

1860
01:12:03,260 --> 01:12:05,180
Nobody's ever been in the car ride home.

1861
01:12:05,180 --> 01:12:06,300
They're like, did you see that guy?

1862
01:12:06,300 --> 01:12:08,700
Fucking Scott, God, he was terrible.

1863
01:12:08,700 --> 01:12:11,940
No, they talk about who they like.

1864
01:12:11,940 --> 01:12:13,900
So it's like, once you realize you're not the center

1865
01:12:13,900 --> 01:12:16,700
of the universe, it doesn't matter if you don't do well,

1866
01:12:16,700 --> 01:12:19,580
what's the worst that can happen?

1867
01:12:19,580 --> 01:12:21,260
You're still gonna do comedy the next day, right?

1868
01:12:21,260 --> 01:12:23,540
I mean, I don't know, I've never done bad enough

1869
01:12:23,540 --> 01:12:25,540
where I'm like, well, I guess I gotta quit.

1870
01:12:26,900 --> 01:12:29,220
Once you have that mentality, you're fucking free.

1871
01:12:29,220 --> 01:12:32,060
So it's like, to everyone listening, you guys, whoever,

1872
01:12:32,060 --> 01:12:34,820
if you're still in that, if you're coming up,

1873
01:12:34,820 --> 01:12:37,660
it's like, don't put that unwanted stress on yourself.

1874
01:12:37,660 --> 01:12:39,700
It's like, you cannot bomb in an open mic.

1875
01:12:39,700 --> 01:12:41,340
So go there, work on your shit.

1876
01:12:41,340 --> 01:12:43,860
Fucking, if something pops in your head, say it.

1877
01:12:45,780 --> 01:12:48,140
You could literally find a great tag, a great joke,

1878
01:12:48,140 --> 01:12:50,820
just by being free and loose when you're up there.

1879
01:12:50,820 --> 01:12:52,260
And I don't mean it to the point,

1880
01:12:52,260 --> 01:12:55,220
don't go up there and say some racist, terrible shit.

1881
01:12:55,220 --> 01:12:56,700
Oh, I was just freewheeling it.

1882
01:12:56,700 --> 01:12:59,580
It's like, don't do that.

1883
01:12:59,580 --> 01:13:00,860
Have some fucking decorum.

1884
01:13:00,860 --> 01:13:03,020
But at the same time, it's like, man, when I'm up there,

1885
01:13:03,020 --> 01:13:06,940
I don't even, open mics to me, which I love,

1886
01:13:06,940 --> 01:13:09,580
is like, I don't really write jokes anymore

1887
01:13:09,580 --> 01:13:12,300
in the traditional sense of,

1888
01:13:12,300 --> 01:13:14,500
I don't sit down and write a joke out.

1889
01:13:14,500 --> 01:13:16,860
I'll have, sometimes it depends on the thought.

1890
01:13:16,860 --> 01:13:18,300
Sometimes I'll have a complete idea.

1891
01:13:18,300 --> 01:13:19,860
Sometimes I might just have a nugget.

1892
01:13:19,860 --> 01:13:21,260
And it's like, if you have a nugget of an idea

1893
01:13:21,260 --> 01:13:22,260
and you're like, that could be funny,

1894
01:13:22,260 --> 01:13:23,820
just go up on stage and talk about it.

1895
01:13:23,820 --> 01:13:25,860
Say what you want to in the moment,

1896
01:13:25,860 --> 01:13:28,380
as opposed to sitting down with pen and paper like,

1897
01:13:28,380 --> 01:13:29,620
what can I say about this?

1898
01:13:29,620 --> 01:13:31,660
It's like, get up there and fucking say it.

1899
01:13:31,660 --> 01:13:32,780
See what happens.

1900
01:13:32,780 --> 01:13:33,620
Try it all for size.

1901
01:13:33,620 --> 01:13:35,340
See where it fucking goes, dude.

1902
01:13:35,340 --> 01:13:37,100
Because if you're recording yourself

1903
01:13:37,100 --> 01:13:38,220
or if you've got a good memory,

1904
01:13:38,220 --> 01:13:39,620
if you're like, okay, let me talk about this.

1905
01:13:39,620 --> 01:13:41,780
Remember the high points of what you just said.

1906
01:13:41,780 --> 01:13:43,180
If you can mold that into a joke,

1907
01:13:43,180 --> 01:13:45,140
I mean, that's just as good as sitting down

1908
01:13:45,140 --> 01:13:45,980
with a pen and paper.

1909
01:13:45,980 --> 01:13:48,220
I mean, that's, I would say maybe a bit more

1910
01:13:48,220 --> 01:13:52,300
of an advanced level once you have a level of comfortability.

1911
01:13:52,300 --> 01:13:54,540
But fucking let it rip.

1912
01:13:54,540 --> 01:13:56,220
I mean, get up there and just fucking talk about it.

1913
01:13:56,220 --> 01:13:57,060
We appreciate it.

1914
01:13:57,060 --> 01:13:58,100
This is Clown College.

1915
01:13:58,100 --> 01:13:58,940
Thank you.

1916
01:13:58,940 --> 01:14:01,540
Scott is over here dropping gems, baby.

1917
01:14:01,540 --> 01:14:03,020
Hell yeah, I appreciate this.

1918
01:14:03,020 --> 01:14:04,820
I'm also high and I can't stop talking.

1919
01:14:04,820 --> 01:14:06,660
I was locked in.

1920
01:14:06,660 --> 01:14:08,100
I was locked in in June with this.

1921
01:14:08,100 --> 01:14:10,740
I was like, we do have to say something.

1922
01:14:10,740 --> 01:14:12,860
So I'm like, damn, I do sit in front of my notebook

1923
01:14:12,860 --> 01:14:14,980
and I'm like, fuck, dude.

1924
01:14:14,980 --> 01:14:15,940
Don't waste the time.

1925
01:14:15,940 --> 01:14:16,940
Hell yeah.

1926
01:14:16,940 --> 01:14:19,380
So you're in a Beastie Boys tribute band.

1927
01:14:19,380 --> 01:14:20,220
Yes.

1928
01:14:20,220 --> 01:14:21,700
Okay, tell us about this.

1929
01:14:22,540 --> 01:14:27,540
So we're called the Beastie Goys with a G, G-O-Y-S.

1930
01:14:30,060 --> 01:14:31,340
If you know what that means,

1931
01:14:31,340 --> 01:14:33,740
you probably understand why it's funny.

1932
01:14:33,740 --> 01:14:34,740
No, I don't.

1933
01:14:34,740 --> 01:14:39,740
Okay, so a Goy is a non-Jewish person.

1934
01:14:42,060 --> 01:14:43,660
Oh, okay, okay.

1935
01:14:43,660 --> 01:14:46,540
That's what Jews call non-Jews.

1936
01:14:46,540 --> 01:14:48,580
We're Goys, right?

1937
01:14:48,580 --> 01:14:49,740
Like, look at that Goy.

1938
01:14:49,740 --> 01:14:51,940
That's a non-Jewish person.

1939
01:14:51,940 --> 01:14:53,900
Now the Beastie Boys, we're all Jewish.

1940
01:14:54,980 --> 01:14:59,980
The Beastie Goys, all seven of us, not a Jew in there.

1941
01:15:00,020 --> 01:15:01,020
No Jews.

1942
01:15:01,020 --> 01:15:06,020
So Beastie Goys are the Beastie non-Jewish boys.

1943
01:15:08,820 --> 01:15:10,140
It's basically where the name comes from.

1944
01:15:10,140 --> 01:15:10,980
That's what it is.

1945
01:15:10,980 --> 01:15:12,540
So that's why I say sometimes you say it

1946
01:15:12,540 --> 01:15:14,020
and people are like, ha ha, okay.

1947
01:15:14,020 --> 01:15:15,700
And then other people are like, yeah, Goys, whatever.

1948
01:15:15,700 --> 01:15:17,140
And you're like, do you know what it means, right?

1949
01:15:17,140 --> 01:15:18,420
No, I don't.

1950
01:15:18,420 --> 01:15:20,820
Then you explain it, they're like, okay, okay.

1951
01:15:20,820 --> 01:15:22,860
So yeah, it takes a little explaining sometimes.

1952
01:15:22,860 --> 01:15:25,100
So somebody had told me before,

1953
01:15:25,100 --> 01:15:28,300
because I didn't really know you until recently,

1954
01:15:28,300 --> 01:15:30,340
but they were like, yeah, he's in a Beastie Boys

1955
01:15:30,340 --> 01:15:34,340
tribute band and the way my mind took it is Beach Boys.

1956
01:15:34,340 --> 01:15:37,260
So for literally until we got this intel,

1957
01:15:37,260 --> 01:15:39,740
I was like, he's in a Beach Boys cover.

1958
01:15:39,740 --> 01:15:40,580
He doesn't look like he was in a Beach Boys.

1959
01:15:40,580 --> 01:15:42,700
That would be kind of rad too though.

1960
01:15:44,060 --> 01:15:47,420
I love the, dude, the Beach Boys are the shit, dude.

1961
01:15:47,420 --> 01:15:48,260
Beach Boys are great.

1962
01:15:48,260 --> 01:15:49,100
They got some bangers.

1963
01:15:49,100 --> 01:15:51,580
Well, Beach Boys, they don't get enough credit

1964
01:15:51,580 --> 01:15:54,100
because they were the American Beatles basically.

1965
01:15:54,100 --> 01:15:56,740
So it's like they started off with like the surf rock,

1966
01:15:56,740 --> 01:16:00,740
you know, Help Me Rhonda and fucking Little Surfer Girl

1967
01:16:00,740 --> 01:16:02,260
and all that bullshit.

1968
01:16:02,260 --> 01:16:05,180
Just like the Beatles started with I Wanna Hold Your Hand

1969
01:16:05,180 --> 01:16:06,300
and shit like that.

1970
01:16:06,300 --> 01:16:08,020
And then Beach Boys found drugs.

1971
01:16:08,020 --> 01:16:09,100
They got fucking trippy.

1972
01:16:09,100 --> 01:16:10,220
They did a lot of weird shit.

1973
01:16:10,220 --> 01:16:12,460
Brian Wilson was like on another fucking planet

1974
01:16:12,460 --> 01:16:15,700
and like pet sounds and all kinds of crazy shit.

1975
01:16:15,700 --> 01:16:17,740
So don't sleep on the fucking Beach Boys though.

1976
01:16:17,740 --> 01:16:18,780
Beach Boys are great.

1977
01:16:19,780 --> 01:16:22,580
We obviously, we were joking around one time

1978
01:16:22,580 --> 01:16:24,820
that we were gonna play a Beach Boys song

1979
01:16:24,820 --> 01:16:26,700
and during that song, we're gonna call ourselves

1980
01:16:26,700 --> 01:16:29,620
the Beach Boys, so it fits.

1981
01:16:31,340 --> 01:16:33,340
We're a seven piece band.

1982
01:16:34,340 --> 01:16:36,580
So we play everything live.

1983
01:16:36,580 --> 01:16:38,020
Probably the biggest misconception

1984
01:16:38,020 --> 01:16:39,580
when I say I'm gonna be a Spice Shoe Beat man,

1985
01:16:39,580 --> 01:16:42,660
a lot of people think it's like me and two other dudes

1986
01:16:42,660 --> 01:16:45,460
and we just hit like the space bar on a laptop

1987
01:16:45,460 --> 01:16:47,220
and it plays a beat.

1988
01:16:47,220 --> 01:16:51,740
We just like karaoke over top of it, which is not true.

1989
01:16:51,740 --> 01:16:52,940
No.

1990
01:16:52,940 --> 01:16:54,340
I'm telling you, people do think that shit

1991
01:16:54,340 --> 01:16:55,380
because they're like, it's rap.

1992
01:16:55,380 --> 01:16:56,740
Like how else do you do rap?

1993
01:16:56,740 --> 01:16:57,660
We do it fucking live.

1994
01:16:57,660 --> 01:16:59,060
We have a full band.

1995
01:16:59,060 --> 01:17:01,700
So we have a guitarist, we have a bass player,

1996
01:17:01,700 --> 01:17:03,620
we have a drummer, we have a percussionist

1997
01:17:03,620 --> 01:17:05,100
and we have a man on the wheel.

1998
01:17:05,100 --> 01:17:06,980
So we have a DJ and then we have the MCs.

1999
01:17:06,980 --> 01:17:09,380
So there's nothing that we do on stage

2000
01:17:09,380 --> 01:17:12,100
that is not created live in the moment.

2001
01:17:12,100 --> 01:17:13,500
That's badass.

2002
01:17:13,500 --> 01:17:14,340
Yeah.

2003
01:17:14,340 --> 01:17:18,660
And we've been doing it for, I don't know,

2004
01:17:18,660 --> 01:17:21,660
just over three years and it's kinda,

2005
01:17:21,660 --> 01:17:24,100
in the last year, kinda taken off.

2006
01:17:24,100 --> 01:17:26,620
We have a manager, so we have representation now

2007
01:17:26,620 --> 01:17:29,300
and we're playing a lot of shows on the road.

2008
01:17:29,300 --> 01:17:30,780
We're actually working on some really exciting stuff

2009
01:17:30,780 --> 01:17:33,940
right now and yeah, it's super fun, man.

2010
01:17:33,940 --> 01:17:37,620
It's just another creative outlet.

2011
01:17:37,620 --> 01:17:42,620
I really love creating and entertaining.

2012
01:17:42,740 --> 01:17:46,940
I didn't start comedy until I was 33.

2013
01:17:49,020 --> 01:17:51,540
I'm 33 when I started, which is late,

2014
01:17:51,540 --> 01:17:53,540
but at the same time, I wouldn't be the comic I am now

2015
01:17:53,540 --> 01:17:55,180
if I would've started when I was 21.

2016
01:17:55,180 --> 01:17:57,340
I mean, maybe I wish I would've found it when I was younger,

2017
01:17:57,340 --> 01:18:00,020
but I mean, for whatever reason,

2018
01:18:00,900 --> 01:18:01,740
it just wasn't the time.

2019
01:18:01,740 --> 01:18:02,580
It didn't happen, yeah.

2020
01:18:02,580 --> 01:18:03,420
You got a whole lot.

2021
01:18:03,420 --> 01:18:06,220
So I started late and even before that,

2022
01:18:06,220 --> 01:18:08,700
I loved creating and writing and things like that.

2023
01:18:08,700 --> 01:18:10,860
That's why spoken works, I was writing poetry

2024
01:18:10,860 --> 01:18:13,460
and I wrote some songs for friends' bands

2025
01:18:13,460 --> 01:18:15,380
and things like that and just always creating

2026
01:18:15,380 --> 01:18:16,900
and then once I found comedy,

2027
01:18:16,900 --> 01:18:19,060
that's why it meshed so well for me immediately

2028
01:18:19,060 --> 01:18:21,620
is because I realized I just like to entertain.

2029
01:18:21,620 --> 01:18:24,820
I found my passion when I was in my 30s

2030
01:18:24,820 --> 01:18:27,940
and I've kinda ridden it ever since

2031
01:18:27,940 --> 01:18:30,060
and this is just an extension of that,

2032
01:18:30,820 --> 01:18:32,700
being able to be in there.

2033
01:18:35,060 --> 01:18:39,340
Even though it's a tribute, it's still so much fun

2034
01:18:39,340 --> 01:18:42,340
to recreate that music and watch people's reactions

2035
01:18:42,340 --> 01:18:46,220
and it's just been an honor to be part of the band

2036
01:18:46,220 --> 01:18:48,100
and we've been very lucky that we got to play

2037
01:18:48,100 --> 01:18:49,180
some really cool shows.

2038
01:18:49,180 --> 01:18:54,180
So in August of 23, we played Mars Music Hall here in town

2039
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:59,060
and sold 650 tickets.

2040
01:18:59,060 --> 01:18:59,900
Damn.

2041
01:18:59,900 --> 01:19:00,740
Yeah.

2042
01:19:00,740 --> 01:19:02,140
How was that to sound like that?

2043
01:19:02,140 --> 01:19:02,980
That's awesome.

2044
01:19:02,980 --> 01:19:03,820
Damn.

2045
01:19:03,820 --> 01:19:04,660
Yeah, yeah.

2046
01:19:04,660 --> 01:19:08,940
And we've played the Halloween celebration

2047
01:19:08,940 --> 01:19:11,700
at the camp this year and a few hundred people for that

2048
01:19:11,700 --> 01:19:14,500
and we've been very fortunate that we have a great following

2049
01:19:14,500 --> 01:19:18,340
here in Huntsville and once we got representation,

2050
01:19:18,340 --> 01:19:20,260
we figured it was time to get on the road.

2051
01:19:20,260 --> 01:19:23,140
So we're playing, we got booked at a music festival

2052
01:19:23,140 --> 01:19:25,420
in Georgia this coming summer.

2053
01:19:25,420 --> 01:19:30,420
And we got a lot of other really exciting gigs coming up.

2054
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:34,500
This month, we're actually playing a private birthday party.

2055
01:19:34,500 --> 01:19:36,580
Yeah, somebody paid a lot.

2056
01:19:36,580 --> 01:19:37,420
A good amount.

2057
01:19:37,420 --> 01:19:39,420
A lot of money and we're playing this private party.

2058
01:19:39,420 --> 01:19:40,460
Damn.

2059
01:19:40,460 --> 01:19:41,980
Which should be pretty interesting.

2060
01:19:41,980 --> 01:19:44,100
But I enjoy the shit out of it, man.

2061
01:19:44,100 --> 01:19:46,460
I mean, comedy's my first love but this is like,

2062
01:19:46,460 --> 01:19:49,940
the goys is just so much fun because I'm fortunate enough

2063
01:19:49,940 --> 01:19:52,380
like the other six members of the band are like friends.

2064
01:19:52,380 --> 01:19:54,900
You know, like some of my best friends.

2065
01:19:54,900 --> 01:19:58,300
So it's being able to be creative in that space,

2066
01:19:58,300 --> 01:20:01,420
like surrounded by people that you care about

2067
01:20:01,420 --> 01:20:04,020
is such a lucky thing.

2068
01:20:04,020 --> 01:20:06,220
You know, it's like, as we really get along,

2069
01:20:06,220 --> 01:20:07,100
it's so much fun.

2070
01:20:07,100 --> 01:20:10,940
I mean, some of my best friends that I hang out with anyway.

2071
01:20:10,940 --> 01:20:14,020
So it's like now it's just we get together and create music

2072
01:20:14,020 --> 01:20:15,380
and we're transitioning into,

2073
01:20:15,380 --> 01:20:16,980
like we'll always do Beastie Boys stuff

2074
01:20:16,980 --> 01:20:18,700
because I mean, that's kind of what pays the bills

2075
01:20:18,700 --> 01:20:20,500
but like we're starting to do originals

2076
01:20:20,500 --> 01:20:21,660
and stuff like that.

2077
01:20:21,660 --> 01:20:23,420
So it's a lot of fun, dude.

2078
01:20:23,420 --> 01:20:25,940
I mean, I really enjoy it

2079
01:20:25,940 --> 01:20:28,900
and it's such a welcome departure from comedy

2080
01:20:28,900 --> 01:20:31,220
because like comedy, you're an island.

2081
01:20:31,220 --> 01:20:33,660
And now it's like I'm a member of a seven piece band.

2082
01:20:33,660 --> 01:20:36,460
So it's like seeing the other side about how to coordinate

2083
01:20:36,460 --> 01:20:38,380
with that many people and how it works

2084
01:20:38,380 --> 01:20:41,260
is like, it really is very eye-opening.

2085
01:20:41,260 --> 01:20:42,460
Hell yeah.

2086
01:20:42,460 --> 01:20:45,260
We're gonna put a picture of it right here.

2087
01:20:45,260 --> 01:20:47,060
Whatever your guys' logo is.

2088
01:20:47,060 --> 01:20:48,300
Yeah, yeah.

2089
01:20:48,300 --> 01:20:49,700
And our picture of all you guys.

2090
01:20:49,700 --> 01:20:50,740
We can do both.

2091
01:20:50,740 --> 01:20:51,580
Lanes in everything.

2092
01:20:51,580 --> 01:20:53,060
I'm learning how to edit now.

2093
01:20:53,060 --> 01:20:54,020
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2094
01:20:54,020 --> 01:20:56,460
You can go to our website, it's bcgoys.com.

2095
01:20:57,660 --> 01:20:59,420
Yeah, we have all kinds of cool shit.

2096
01:20:59,420 --> 01:21:00,980
Just look at the fucking screen, whatever.

2097
01:21:00,980 --> 01:21:02,460
We'll link it, we'll link it.

2098
01:21:04,100 --> 01:21:05,940
That's nowhere near where it is.

2099
01:21:05,940 --> 01:21:07,340
I'm pointing it into a wall.

2100
01:21:09,100 --> 01:21:10,260
I had no fucking clue.

2101
01:21:10,260 --> 01:21:11,740
Don't you fucking do that to me.

2102
01:21:11,740 --> 01:21:13,020
Yes!

2103
01:21:13,020 --> 01:21:15,380
You fucking better take that out on post, god damn it.

2104
01:21:15,380 --> 01:21:16,700
I will not.

2105
01:21:16,700 --> 01:21:18,420
I won't fucking throw this shit at you

2106
01:21:18,420 --> 01:21:19,740
if you do that again, motherfucker.

2107
01:21:19,740 --> 01:21:20,980
Don't you ever fucking.

2108
01:21:22,260 --> 01:21:23,420
You know what the.

2109
01:21:23,420 --> 01:21:24,260
I do not.

2110
01:21:26,500 --> 01:21:27,340
So you've got the.

2111
01:21:27,340 --> 01:21:29,140
Hit my trigger over there.

2112
01:21:29,140 --> 01:21:30,460
All the arts, man.

2113
01:21:30,460 --> 01:21:33,500
Comedy, music, and I know you're a bit of a sneakerhead.

2114
01:21:33,500 --> 01:21:35,700
I am a huge sneakerhead.

2115
01:21:35,700 --> 01:21:36,540
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2116
01:21:36,540 --> 01:21:37,780
I love sneakers.

2117
01:21:37,780 --> 01:21:39,220
I've been doing sneakers a long time.

2118
01:21:39,220 --> 01:21:40,940
I'm kinda, at the moment, I'm transitioning

2119
01:21:40,940 --> 01:21:42,900
out of the sneaker game a little bit.

2120
01:21:42,900 --> 01:21:45,820
Just cause it's not as exciting.

2121
01:21:45,820 --> 01:21:47,060
Do you buy them. Right now.

2122
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:48,100
And not wear them?

2123
01:21:48,100 --> 01:21:48,940
Or do you wear them?

2124
01:21:48,940 --> 01:21:50,180
Fuck, well now I have, yeah.

2125
01:21:50,180 --> 01:21:51,020
You don't wear them?

2126
01:21:51,020 --> 01:21:52,420
I wear a lot of them.

2127
01:21:52,420 --> 01:21:53,740
There's also a ton I don't wear.

2128
01:21:53,740 --> 01:21:55,020
I've pared down my collection.

2129
01:21:55,020 --> 01:21:57,860
I've sold a lot recently just because,

2130
01:21:57,860 --> 01:22:00,700
you know, using money for other shit, you know,

2131
01:22:00,700 --> 01:22:02,340
that I've held onto some stuff.

2132
01:22:02,340 --> 01:22:05,900
But I'm still at about 500 pair.

2133
01:22:05,900 --> 01:22:06,740
Get the fuck.

2134
01:22:06,740 --> 01:22:08,260
What's your favorite pair?

2135
01:22:08,260 --> 01:22:09,580
My favorite pair?

2136
01:22:09,580 --> 01:22:10,500
Like ever?

2137
01:22:10,500 --> 01:22:12,820
Yeah, like your favorite pair of sneakers.

2138
01:22:12,820 --> 01:22:14,340
The one that you have right, you still have.

2139
01:22:14,340 --> 01:22:15,460
You had to keep it if you liked it.

2140
01:22:15,460 --> 01:22:16,820
Man.

2141
01:22:16,820 --> 01:22:19,580
Probably shattered backboard ones.

2142
01:22:19,580 --> 01:22:20,420
Okay.

2143
01:22:21,340 --> 01:22:24,060
Pair of Jordan ones, shattered backboard,

2144
01:22:24,060 --> 01:22:26,340
orange, black, sail colorway.

2145
01:22:26,340 --> 01:22:27,180
Love them.

2146
01:22:28,580 --> 01:22:32,220
They're probably about, that's about a G.

2147
01:22:32,220 --> 01:22:33,060
900,000.

2148
01:22:33,060 --> 01:22:33,900
High tops, right?

2149
01:22:33,900 --> 01:22:34,720
They're high tops.

2150
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:35,740
These ones right here?

2151
01:22:35,740 --> 01:22:37,140
Yeah.

2152
01:22:37,140 --> 01:22:38,220
The first pair.

2153
01:22:38,220 --> 01:22:39,220
Right here?

2154
01:22:39,220 --> 01:22:40,300
Yeah, that pair.

2155
01:22:40,300 --> 01:22:41,140
Wow.

2156
01:22:41,140 --> 01:22:42,580
Yeah, that's like $2,000.

2157
01:22:42,580 --> 01:22:43,420
Yeah.

2158
01:22:43,420 --> 01:22:44,260
Damn.

2159
01:22:44,260 --> 01:22:45,340
But you didn't pay that much for them.

2160
01:22:45,340 --> 01:22:49,340
No, no, I got lucky and actually traded

2161
01:22:49,340 --> 01:22:50,560
some other shoes for them.

2162
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:54,100
So I probably gave about $600 in value for that pair.

2163
01:22:55,380 --> 01:22:56,520
And they're dead stock.

2164
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:57,540
I've never worn them.

2165
01:22:57,540 --> 01:23:01,380
That one, that's gonna take a very special occasion.

2166
01:23:01,380 --> 01:23:03,300
That's like a Netflix special pair right there.

2167
01:23:03,300 --> 01:23:04,140
Something like that.

2168
01:23:04,140 --> 01:23:04,980
Well soon.

2169
01:23:05,980 --> 01:23:06,820
Soon, man.

2170
01:23:06,820 --> 01:23:07,640
Fuck, I hope so.

2171
01:23:08,860 --> 01:23:12,460
But yeah, there's probably my second favorite pair.

2172
01:23:12,460 --> 01:23:14,380
Strange Love Dunks.

2173
01:23:14,380 --> 01:23:15,460
Love those.

2174
01:23:18,700 --> 01:23:20,900
Shoes are art.

2175
01:23:20,900 --> 01:23:23,780
Like there's so much story behind shoes

2176
01:23:23,780 --> 01:23:25,660
when it's done really well.

2177
01:23:25,660 --> 01:23:27,680
That's one of the things I love about shoes

2178
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:30,140
is like it's the medium of storytelling

2179
01:23:30,140 --> 01:23:31,380
and like how it involves in shoes.

2180
01:23:31,380 --> 01:23:34,280
And it's like, I say that to somebody who just wears shoes

2181
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:35,180
and they're like, I don't know what the fuck

2182
01:23:35,180 --> 01:23:36,020
you talking about.

2183
01:23:36,020 --> 01:23:38,340
But the thing is, is like a lot of these colorways

2184
01:23:38,340 --> 01:23:42,060
and shoes, I fucking love that pair dude, pink velvet.

2185
01:23:42,060 --> 01:23:43,660
I wear these.

2186
01:23:43,660 --> 01:23:44,500
These I wear.

2187
01:23:44,500 --> 01:23:46,380
Those are nice though, I like those.

2188
01:23:46,380 --> 01:23:47,220
I love those.

2189
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,260
But there's so much storytelling involved in shoes

2190
01:23:51,260 --> 01:23:52,220
like when it's done right.

2191
01:23:52,220 --> 01:23:54,260
And it's like, I could give you a million examples

2192
01:23:54,260 --> 01:23:59,260
but it's just like, it's not just a shoe sometimes.

2193
01:24:00,140 --> 01:24:02,060
Sometimes there's a story behind it.

2194
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:08,740
It's just such a way to punctuate your personality

2195
01:24:08,740 --> 01:24:10,100
in like what you're wearing.

2196
01:24:10,100 --> 01:24:12,220
Because it's like I build what I wear basically

2197
01:24:12,220 --> 01:24:13,940
from the feet up.

2198
01:24:13,940 --> 01:24:16,100
A lot of people will, it's backwards.

2199
01:24:16,100 --> 01:24:17,220
People put on an outfit and be like,

2200
01:24:17,220 --> 01:24:18,140
oh what shoes go with that?

2201
01:24:18,140 --> 01:24:21,460
I'm like, no, no, no, no, what outfit goes with my shoes?

2202
01:24:21,460 --> 01:24:24,180
So it's like, and I've got wild ones in every color

2203
01:24:24,180 --> 01:24:25,740
you can imagine and stuff like that.

2204
01:24:25,740 --> 01:24:29,700
And I have shoes that I wear a couple times

2205
01:24:29,700 --> 01:24:30,680
and I'll put them back in the box

2206
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:31,740
and one day I'll bring them back out.

2207
01:24:31,740 --> 01:24:33,260
I have shoes that I wear all the time.

2208
01:24:33,260 --> 01:24:36,200
I have shoes that I've never seen the light of day.

2209
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:39,280
I have shoes that I'll never sell but I'll never wear.

2210
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,220
I have shoes that I'm waiting to sell

2211
01:24:41,220 --> 01:24:43,300
once they reach a particular point.

2212
01:24:43,300 --> 01:24:44,140
All kinds of shit.

2213
01:24:44,140 --> 01:24:45,460
Like over the past couple years,

2214
01:24:45,460 --> 01:24:47,220
I was actually looking at it on StockX

2215
01:24:47,220 --> 01:24:48,100
over the last two years.

2216
01:24:48,100 --> 01:24:50,900
I've sold like $36,000.

2217
01:24:50,900 --> 01:24:51,740
$36K.

2218
01:24:51,740 --> 01:24:53,060
Yeah.

2219
01:24:53,060 --> 01:24:53,900
So.

2220
01:24:53,900 --> 01:24:55,540
There's a hustle right there.

2221
01:24:55,540 --> 01:24:57,180
Oh dude, it totally is.

2222
01:24:57,180 --> 01:24:58,980
It's kind of like the stock market.

2223
01:25:00,500 --> 01:25:03,680
If you have the knowledge and you know about the shoes

2224
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,140
and with a little bit of luck and a little bit of help

2225
01:25:06,140 --> 01:25:07,760
once you meet people and things like that,

2226
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:08,980
because it is a community.

2227
01:25:08,980 --> 01:25:09,820
That's another thing.

2228
01:25:09,820 --> 01:25:10,780
It's like sneaker heads.

2229
01:25:10,780 --> 01:25:11,620
It's a community.

2230
01:25:11,620 --> 01:25:13,420
Like you're a comedian.

2231
01:25:13,420 --> 01:25:14,260
I'm a comedian.

2232
01:25:14,260 --> 01:25:15,460
Like we've already got common ground.

2233
01:25:15,460 --> 01:25:17,260
It's the same thing like two sneaker heads meet.

2234
01:25:17,260 --> 01:25:19,580
And it's like you meet people, message boards,

2235
01:25:19,580 --> 01:25:21,700
discord, all kinds of crazy shit.

2236
01:25:21,700 --> 01:25:22,540
You can get hookups.

2237
01:25:22,540 --> 01:25:23,380
You find shoes.

2238
01:25:23,380 --> 01:25:26,100
Like I had plugs in Germany and Europe

2239
01:25:26,100 --> 01:25:28,300
that I could get shoes from and stuff like that.

2240
01:25:28,300 --> 01:25:29,140
And it's just like,

2241
01:25:30,940 --> 01:25:33,260
at one point, I wouldn't say obsession,

2242
01:25:33,260 --> 01:25:36,220
but it was just like I was super in tune with it.

2243
01:25:36,220 --> 01:25:39,140
I was buying shoes, selling shoes, trading shoes.

2244
01:25:39,140 --> 01:25:42,300
And then it just got to a point where one day

2245
01:25:42,300 --> 01:25:44,340
I looked around and I was like,

2246
01:25:44,340 --> 01:25:45,700
I can't even fit them all in my house.

2247
01:25:45,700 --> 01:25:48,340
I have a storage unit where I have to put some shoes.

2248
01:25:48,340 --> 01:25:49,180
I have other shit in there.

2249
01:25:49,180 --> 01:25:50,000
It's not just for the shoes,

2250
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:50,840
but I have to put shoes in storage.

2251
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:52,620
The podcast set, the shoes.

2252
01:25:52,620 --> 01:25:53,820
Because it's so much.

2253
01:25:54,820 --> 01:25:57,180
I mean, if you really think about how many,

2254
01:25:57,180 --> 01:25:59,100
how much space 500 pairs of shoes take up.

2255
01:25:59,100 --> 01:26:00,180
Oh, I can't even.

2256
01:26:00,180 --> 01:26:01,060
It's a lot.

2257
01:26:01,060 --> 01:26:02,580
And I started to look around and then it's like,

2258
01:26:02,580 --> 01:26:05,940
fuck man, I bought this pair of shoes and look at it.

2259
01:26:05,940 --> 01:26:08,020
And I'm like, I'm never gonna wear that.

2260
01:26:08,020 --> 01:26:09,340
I'm never gonna fucking wear that.

2261
01:26:09,340 --> 01:26:12,060
It was just in the flow of I'm collecting

2262
01:26:12,060 --> 01:26:14,580
and this and that and it just got to be so much.

2263
01:26:14,580 --> 01:26:17,620
And then sometimes the fun gets sucked out of it

2264
01:26:17,620 --> 01:26:21,140
because I might sell shoes occasionally,

2265
01:26:21,140 --> 01:26:22,660
but I'm like a dope dealer.

2266
01:26:22,660 --> 01:26:26,820
I sell dope so I can smoke dope for free.

2267
01:26:26,820 --> 01:26:27,660
You know what I mean?

2268
01:26:27,660 --> 01:26:30,600
It's like I sell shoes so I can buy more fucking shoes.

2269
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:31,620
But there are people either that are trying

2270
01:26:31,620 --> 01:26:35,300
to get rich off the shit that have plugs and connections

2271
01:26:35,300 --> 01:26:37,620
where they're like a store has 100 pair,

2272
01:26:37,620 --> 01:26:39,140
they buy all 100 pair,

2273
01:26:39,140 --> 01:26:41,100
then regular people can't fucking get them.

2274
01:26:41,100 --> 01:26:42,700
And then you're like, I just wanna wear them.

2275
01:26:42,700 --> 01:26:44,980
And then you look and they're selling for $200

2276
01:26:44,980 --> 01:26:46,420
over what they retail for.

2277
01:26:46,420 --> 01:26:48,460
And you're like, I'm not paying $400 fucking dollars.

2278
01:26:48,460 --> 01:26:50,120
And then they brick.

2279
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:51,560
Nobody wants to pay for them.

2280
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,800
So they sit there and then the price eventually goes down.

2281
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:55,380
But that person just sat on those shoes

2282
01:26:55,380 --> 01:26:58,180
for like two fucking years where nobody else could have them.

2283
01:26:58,180 --> 01:26:59,460
And it's just, it's so frustrating.

2284
01:26:59,460 --> 01:27:00,900
So anything that's like of a hype,

2285
01:27:00,900 --> 01:27:03,020
like a Travis Scott release, it's like kiss goodbye.

2286
01:27:03,020 --> 01:27:06,900
You'll know, I've been lucky enough,

2287
01:27:06,900 --> 01:27:08,740
literally through sheer luck on Nike,

2288
01:27:08,740 --> 01:27:10,900
like through the draw system to win some Travis Scott's

2289
01:27:10,900 --> 01:27:11,740
and shit like that.

2290
01:27:11,740 --> 01:27:12,560
But other than that, it's like,

2291
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,220
you're not fucking getting them.

2292
01:27:14,220 --> 01:27:17,380
The fucking influencers and the sneaker flippers

2293
01:27:17,380 --> 01:27:18,300
and all those are getting them.

2294
01:27:18,300 --> 01:27:19,900
And it's like, it's so fucking frustrating

2295
01:27:19,900 --> 01:27:21,300
because what if you just wanna wear the shoe?

2296
01:27:21,300 --> 01:27:22,860
You can't fucking wear the shoe.

2297
01:27:22,860 --> 01:27:24,900
So like a lot of the magic has kind of

2298
01:27:24,900 --> 01:27:26,300
got pulled out of it recently.

2299
01:27:26,300 --> 01:27:28,380
And it's like Nike is kind of struggling.

2300
01:27:28,380 --> 01:27:31,660
It's like, I like retros as much as the next person,

2301
01:27:31,660 --> 01:27:34,100
but like retros are slowly kind of like,

2302
01:27:34,100 --> 01:27:37,260
they've lost a lot of the collector interest,

2303
01:27:37,260 --> 01:27:39,260
which where the collector interest goes,

2304
01:27:39,260 --> 01:27:41,660
the general public goes too.

2305
01:27:41,660 --> 01:27:44,900
So the shoes just aren't, it's just like meh.

2306
01:27:44,900 --> 01:27:47,620
You know, I'm just, I'll still see a pair of shoes

2307
01:27:47,620 --> 01:27:48,460
where I'm like, hell yeah.

2308
01:27:48,460 --> 01:27:50,760
And I'm a Nike guy through and through,

2309
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,780
but I also collect, I say collect, but I wear New Balance.

2310
01:27:54,780 --> 01:27:55,620
Puma.

2311
01:27:55,620 --> 01:27:57,020
Rebac.

2312
01:27:57,020 --> 01:27:58,260
I mean, yeah.

2313
01:27:58,260 --> 01:27:59,860
I mean, basically Saucony,

2314
01:27:59,860 --> 01:28:02,140
there's so many brands or shoes out there

2315
01:28:02,140 --> 01:28:03,940
that are still making dope shit.

2316
01:28:03,940 --> 01:28:05,660
Like New Balance, I fucking love.

2317
01:28:05,660 --> 01:28:07,260
I mean, I have so many pairs of New Balance.

2318
01:28:07,260 --> 01:28:10,220
New Balance is a great company making a really good shoe

2319
01:28:10,220 --> 01:28:11,340
and they still are.

2320
01:28:11,340 --> 01:28:13,260
Right now they're probably making the best collabs out there

2321
01:28:13,260 --> 01:28:14,940
because they're working with like Action Bronson

2322
01:28:14,940 --> 01:28:19,940
and Saleem, Berm Berry, and a lot of other really great

2323
01:28:20,500 --> 01:28:23,440
artists and collaborators and shit like that.

2324
01:28:23,440 --> 01:28:25,100
So there's still a lot of cool shit out there.

2325
01:28:25,100 --> 01:28:26,900
It's just like, I'm just kind of losing my fire

2326
01:28:26,900 --> 01:28:27,740
for it a little bit.

2327
01:28:27,740 --> 01:28:31,500
So you can still see me wearing a bunch of fly shoes,

2328
01:28:31,500 --> 01:28:34,780
but I'm not as embedded in the.

2329
01:28:34,780 --> 01:28:36,300
He just has 500 of them.

2330
01:28:36,300 --> 01:28:37,980
Well, here's the thing is I might not be buying,

2331
01:28:37,980 --> 01:28:41,340
but I'm still like, I still read about shoes every day.

2332
01:28:41,340 --> 01:28:43,580
I'm still reading and taking in content

2333
01:28:43,580 --> 01:28:44,420
and everything like that.

2334
01:28:44,420 --> 01:28:46,040
I'm just not as buying.

2335
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:49,020
I'm not in the buying mode like I once was.

2336
01:28:49,020 --> 01:28:51,540
I've kind of shifted into other pursuits.

2337
01:28:51,540 --> 01:28:54,700
Like the standards I've always collected.

2338
01:28:54,700 --> 01:28:56,500
Like I collect comic books

2339
01:28:56,500 --> 01:28:58,820
and I have for years.

2340
01:28:59,780 --> 01:29:01,740
You like the Marvel and.

2341
01:29:01,740 --> 01:29:03,540
I'm every company dude.

2342
01:29:03,540 --> 01:29:05,380
I kind of like go across the board.

2343
01:29:05,380 --> 01:29:08,080
So do you like the new phase that Marvel just did?

2344
01:29:09,420 --> 01:29:10,260
Well.

2345
01:29:11,180 --> 01:29:12,660
Did you have some like say.

2346
01:29:12,660 --> 01:29:15,140
There's characters I follow in Marvel.

2347
01:29:15,140 --> 01:29:19,020
I don't really follow necessarily like all of the 616.

2348
01:29:19,020 --> 01:29:21,340
You know, like all of the main Marvel universe right now.

2349
01:29:21,340 --> 01:29:22,900
It's like, I'm not an X person.

2350
01:29:22,900 --> 01:29:23,740
I never have been.

2351
01:29:23,740 --> 01:29:24,580
X-Men?

2352
01:29:24,580 --> 01:29:26,100
No, I'm not an X-Men person.

2353
01:29:26,100 --> 01:29:28,820
It's too fucking hard to find an entry point dude.

2354
01:29:28,820 --> 01:29:30,660
You can't get into that.

2355
01:29:30,660 --> 01:29:33,460
I don't know how anybody right now gets into X-Men

2356
01:29:33,460 --> 01:29:35,900
because the lore and everything behind it

2357
01:29:35,900 --> 01:29:38,540
is so fucking thick and deep

2358
01:29:38,540 --> 01:29:41,180
that if you pick up a book right now and you read it,

2359
01:29:41,180 --> 01:29:43,300
you're like, I have no fucking idea what just happened.

2360
01:29:43,300 --> 01:29:44,320
Who are these people?

2361
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:45,300
What is going on?

2362
01:29:45,300 --> 01:29:46,140
There is a lot of them.

2363
01:29:46,140 --> 01:29:46,980
You know?

2364
01:29:46,980 --> 01:29:47,800
A lot of them.

2365
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:50,540
And I still like superhero comics

2366
01:29:50,540 --> 01:29:52,700
but it's still like basics.

2367
01:29:52,700 --> 01:29:57,700
Like I still read like Iron Man, Ghost Rider, Blade.

2368
01:30:00,300 --> 01:30:01,380
There's some other Marvel titles.

2369
01:30:01,380 --> 01:30:03,700
And like DC, I only fuck with like,

2370
01:30:03,700 --> 01:30:05,780
I still read Batman, I read The Flash.

2371
01:30:06,820 --> 01:30:07,660
Flash was my favorite.

2372
01:30:07,660 --> 01:30:08,480
I read some other shit.

2373
01:30:08,480 --> 01:30:11,340
I read a ton of image comics.

2374
01:30:11,340 --> 01:30:14,500
Dark Horse, Boom, Dynamite, shit like that.

2375
01:30:14,500 --> 01:30:16,020
Like there's a lot of great titles.

2376
01:30:16,020 --> 01:30:18,420
And it's like most of the stuff I'm really into

2377
01:30:18,420 --> 01:30:21,060
I would say is non-superhero.

2378
01:30:21,060 --> 01:30:23,780
It's more like horror, thriller.

2379
01:30:23,780 --> 01:30:25,820
Anthology comics and stuff like that.

2380
01:30:25,820 --> 01:30:27,540
Oh, I mean that's the whole thing you should

2381
01:30:27,540 --> 01:30:28,700
because it's such a great,

2382
01:30:28,700 --> 01:30:31,460
the medium is you can tell any story you want.

2383
01:30:31,460 --> 01:30:32,540
Not just superhero shit.

2384
01:30:32,540 --> 01:30:34,300
I mean don't get me wrong, I love superheroes.

2385
01:30:34,300 --> 01:30:38,260
But like there's so like, if you like comic books,

2386
01:30:38,260 --> 01:30:39,820
there's so many other comics out there

2387
01:30:39,820 --> 01:30:41,220
that if you read you're like, holy shit,

2388
01:30:41,220 --> 01:30:42,300
I was like fucking amazing.

2389
01:30:42,300 --> 01:30:44,900
And it wasn't about a superhero or anything.

2390
01:30:44,900 --> 01:30:46,860
It's just you just kind of gotta open up to it.

2391
01:30:46,860 --> 01:30:48,220
It's the same thing like with shoes.

2392
01:30:48,220 --> 01:30:49,780
It's just I'm super into it.

2393
01:30:49,780 --> 01:30:53,060
So it's like I just kind of learn reading on blogs

2394
01:30:53,060 --> 01:30:53,900
and things like that.

2395
01:30:53,900 --> 01:30:55,140
Like new comic series coming out.

2396
01:30:55,140 --> 01:30:56,720
Or like I follow a particular writer

2397
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:57,980
and they're writing something new.

2398
01:30:57,980 --> 01:30:59,580
So I'll check them out.

2399
01:30:59,580 --> 01:31:04,580
Like Jeff Lemire is one of the best comic book writers

2400
01:31:04,620 --> 01:31:06,220
out there right now.

2401
01:31:06,220 --> 01:31:08,100
Anything he does is just gold.

2402
01:31:08,100 --> 01:31:11,620
And there's Chip Sadarsky and there's like, there's a lot.

2403
01:31:11,620 --> 01:31:13,020
So it's like comic books I love.

2404
01:31:13,020 --> 01:31:14,100
I love watches.

2405
01:31:14,100 --> 01:31:19,100
And like collecting nice pieces, Rolex.

2406
01:31:19,740 --> 01:31:20,900
What's the B one?

2407
01:31:20,900 --> 01:31:21,740
Bavada?

2408
01:31:24,540 --> 01:31:26,380
What kind of word did you just make up?

2409
01:31:26,380 --> 01:31:27,220
What are you talking about?

2410
01:31:27,220 --> 01:31:28,780
There's mavado.

2411
01:31:28,780 --> 01:31:31,220
Scott likes to make fun of people with speech impediments.

2412
01:31:31,220 --> 01:31:32,860
I guess he's just a bit.

2413
01:31:32,860 --> 01:31:35,420
Yeah, yeah, I'm an asshole.

2414
01:31:35,420 --> 01:31:36,420
I love it.

2415
01:31:36,420 --> 01:31:37,260
I love it.

2416
01:31:37,260 --> 01:31:41,540
Hey, I remember seeing you at Stand Up Live

2417
01:31:41,540 --> 01:31:43,700
the first time when you did the bucket pool

2418
01:31:43,700 --> 01:31:46,420
and you roasted everybody that got off stage.

2419
01:31:46,420 --> 01:31:47,700
And man, I'm telling you,

2420
01:31:47,700 --> 01:31:50,540
I think that was like the first time I really saw you.

2421
01:31:50,540 --> 01:31:52,940
And I was like, oh, this motherfucker's funny as shit.

2422
01:31:52,940 --> 01:31:55,220
Every one of you have, bam, bam, bam.

2423
01:31:55,220 --> 01:31:57,220
Yeah, I love roasting people.

2424
01:31:57,220 --> 01:31:58,060
It's a lot of fun.

2425
01:31:58,060 --> 01:32:00,620
It's super fun.

2426
01:32:00,620 --> 01:32:02,180
Watches are a lot of fun.

2427
01:32:02,180 --> 01:32:03,980
I do have some expensive pieces,

2428
01:32:03,980 --> 01:32:07,620
but it's also like, those are investments as well.

2429
01:32:07,620 --> 01:32:08,900
Like the great thing about a watch,

2430
01:32:08,900 --> 01:32:10,700
like if you look literally over the past

2431
01:32:10,700 --> 01:32:12,460
like three to four years,

2432
01:32:12,460 --> 01:32:14,860
if you look at the performance of the stock market,

2433
01:32:14,860 --> 01:32:17,140
the S&P, like the whole stock market,

2434
01:32:17,140 --> 01:32:19,780
versus the performance of Rolexes,

2435
01:32:19,780 --> 01:32:21,900
Rolexes outperform the stock market.

2436
01:32:22,780 --> 01:32:23,940
Like as investment pieces.

2437
01:32:23,940 --> 01:32:26,460
You can put money into a watch and get money out of it.

2438
01:32:26,460 --> 01:32:29,540
But it's luxury you can wear and then resell later

2439
01:32:29,540 --> 01:32:30,380
if you want.

2440
01:32:30,380 --> 01:32:31,860
But at the same time, you also don't have to spend

2441
01:32:31,860 --> 01:32:35,100
an insane asshole amount of money to have a cool watch.

2442
01:32:35,100 --> 01:32:37,020
I'm more just like cool shit.

2443
01:32:37,020 --> 01:32:39,140
What price range are you thinking?

2444
01:32:39,140 --> 01:32:40,860
For like, if you wanted to go out there

2445
01:32:40,860 --> 01:32:42,660
and get you a nice piece.

2446
01:32:42,660 --> 01:32:45,180
It really would depend on,

2447
01:32:45,180 --> 01:32:48,660
I can give you something in every price range.

2448
01:32:48,660 --> 01:32:50,220
It's more what you want to spend.

2449
01:32:50,220 --> 01:32:51,820
So like a 250.

2450
01:32:51,820 --> 01:32:53,700
$250 watch, you can get a really nice watch.

2451
01:32:53,700 --> 01:32:56,060
You can get an automatic watch, which is no battery,

2452
01:32:56,060 --> 01:32:57,660
it's powered kinetic energy.

2453
01:32:59,500 --> 01:33:03,100
You know, like Citizen, Seiko,

2454
01:33:03,100 --> 01:33:04,420
both those make really good watches.

2455
01:33:04,420 --> 01:33:05,660
There's some independent watchmakers

2456
01:33:05,660 --> 01:33:09,380
that make some nice watches in that price range.

2457
01:33:09,380 --> 01:33:10,340
There's nothing wrong with it.

2458
01:33:10,340 --> 01:33:11,820
I mean, fuck, the watch I have on right now

2459
01:33:11,820 --> 01:33:13,140
costs fucking $70.

2460
01:33:13,140 --> 01:33:15,940
It's a fucking Casio gold digital watch.

2461
01:33:15,940 --> 01:33:17,420
It's 70 bucks.

2462
01:33:18,300 --> 01:33:21,900
If you want to spend 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000,

2463
01:33:21,900 --> 01:33:25,900
whatever, there's something in every price range.

2464
01:33:25,900 --> 01:33:27,860
What's the most expensive one you got?

2465
01:33:27,860 --> 01:33:28,860
Most expensive one I got?

2466
01:33:28,860 --> 01:33:31,380
I have a Rolex Submariner.

2467
01:33:31,380 --> 01:33:32,220
Oh wow.

2468
01:33:32,220 --> 01:33:33,060
Yeah.

2469
01:33:33,060 --> 01:33:35,140
I don't know, how much is it?

2470
01:33:35,140 --> 01:33:37,140
It's probably like, if I went to sell it right now,

2471
01:33:37,140 --> 01:33:40,460
I'd probably get like eight to 10,000.

2472
01:33:40,460 --> 01:33:42,260
So I got eight to 10 grand.

2473
01:33:43,660 --> 01:33:45,220
It's like Kia Soul on the rim.

2474
01:33:45,220 --> 01:33:46,060
Hell yeah.

2475
01:33:46,060 --> 01:33:46,900
For real.

2476
01:33:46,900 --> 01:33:48,300
And that's a very understated Rolex.

2477
01:33:48,300 --> 01:33:49,700
It's just a sports watch.

2478
01:33:49,700 --> 01:33:50,980
It's a dive watch.

2479
01:33:50,980 --> 01:33:53,500
It's a tool watch, basically.

2480
01:33:56,260 --> 01:33:58,540
I mean, it's built to last forever.

2481
01:33:58,540 --> 01:34:02,860
And it's also, since it is so timeless in its design,

2482
01:34:02,860 --> 01:34:05,420
that's why you can always sell it and make money on it.

2483
01:34:05,420 --> 01:34:08,220
Because it's never gonna go out of style.

2484
01:34:08,220 --> 01:34:11,860
Watches have not really changed a lot.

2485
01:34:11,860 --> 01:34:13,740
There's new technology and things like that,

2486
01:34:13,740 --> 01:34:15,580
but at the same time, it's like when you get into

2487
01:34:15,580 --> 01:34:18,540
hand-making of these watches and things like that,

2488
01:34:18,540 --> 01:34:21,380
it's the same thing for a century.

2489
01:34:22,380 --> 01:34:24,460
That's why when you put diamonds on a Rolex,

2490
01:34:24,460 --> 01:34:25,740
you decrease the value.

2491
01:34:25,740 --> 01:34:27,380
You do, yeah, a bust down.

2492
01:34:27,380 --> 01:34:28,220
That's what they call it.

2493
01:34:28,220 --> 01:34:29,540
A bust down Rolex.

2494
01:34:29,540 --> 01:34:33,220
If you have a Rolex that doesn't have factory set diamonds,

2495
01:34:33,220 --> 01:34:36,060
or any watch where you add the diamonds after

2496
01:34:36,060 --> 01:34:38,140
the watch is purchased, it's called a bust down.

2497
01:34:38,140 --> 01:34:39,740
Wow, that's what we just call whores.

2498
01:34:39,740 --> 01:34:40,580
Hey.

2499
01:34:42,140 --> 01:34:43,140
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2500
01:34:43,140 --> 01:34:43,980
That's what we call them.

2501
01:34:43,980 --> 01:34:46,500
But I'm not into the diamonds and shit like that.

2502
01:34:46,500 --> 01:34:49,060
You know, that's not really my, that's not really my bag.

2503
01:34:49,060 --> 01:34:51,340
There's some watches out there like I would fucking kill for

2504
01:34:51,340 --> 01:34:53,820
that are great, but it's like, you know,

2505
01:34:53,820 --> 01:34:54,980
you have to be reasonable.

2506
01:34:54,980 --> 01:34:58,260
I mean, the only reason I have that Rolex is it was a gift.

2507
01:34:58,260 --> 01:35:00,980
It was a gift from a company I worked for.

2508
01:35:00,980 --> 01:35:05,980
But I couldn't have, but even then at the time

2509
01:35:06,100 --> 01:35:10,220
when I got that, the watch cost,

2510
01:35:10,220 --> 01:35:13,500
back then it was probably like $4,500, $5,000.

2511
01:35:13,500 --> 01:35:15,860
So it's increased in value, but the thing is that watch now

2512
01:35:15,860 --> 01:35:20,100
new is about 10, $9,000, $10,000 for Rolex.

2513
01:35:20,100 --> 01:35:22,140
So inflation, things go up.

2514
01:35:23,540 --> 01:35:25,740
I have the most expensive watch I've purchased.

2515
01:35:25,740 --> 01:35:27,580
I have a Tudor Black Bay 58.

2516
01:35:27,580 --> 01:35:29,460
Tudor is Rolex's sister company.

2517
01:35:29,460 --> 01:35:31,940
And that was $4,000.

2518
01:35:34,260 --> 01:35:38,340
That was purchased with the intent of creating a family

2519
01:35:38,340 --> 01:35:41,140
heirloom that I can, I will leave my son.

2520
01:35:41,140 --> 01:35:44,180
Because again, it's a beautiful watch.

2521
01:35:44,180 --> 01:35:45,740
It's built for life.

2522
01:35:45,740 --> 01:35:47,980
If you take care of it and service the watch.

2523
01:35:49,140 --> 01:35:51,380
I mean, he, you know, I mean, he could wear it

2524
01:35:51,380 --> 01:35:54,180
when he's my age, you know, and it'll still run

2525
01:35:54,180 --> 01:35:55,020
like a motherfucker.

2526
01:35:55,020 --> 01:35:58,220
So it was purchased with the intention of creating

2527
01:35:58,220 --> 01:36:01,260
a memory and something that I can give to my son.

2528
01:36:01,260 --> 01:36:05,700
Because when my father died two and a half years ago,

2529
01:36:07,940 --> 01:36:10,940
I got stuff, but I didn't get anything personal.

2530
01:36:10,940 --> 01:36:11,760
You know what I mean?

2531
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:13,500
Like something that he wore daily or something,

2532
01:36:13,500 --> 01:36:14,340
you know what I mean?

2533
01:36:14,340 --> 01:36:17,100
Like a lot of memories and things, but nothing like,

2534
01:36:18,020 --> 01:36:19,700
you know, and it was like, I wanted to create

2535
01:36:19,700 --> 01:36:22,060
something like that and like what better than a watch?

2536
01:36:22,060 --> 01:36:24,900
Because I can have that watch, it was expensive, yeah,

2537
01:36:24,900 --> 01:36:28,140
but I have that watch, I can wear it, enjoy it.

2538
01:36:28,140 --> 01:36:29,580
And then when it's time, I can give it to him

2539
01:36:29,580 --> 01:36:30,860
and he can wear it and enjoy it.

2540
01:36:30,860 --> 01:36:34,580
And the thing is, it will increase in value.

2541
01:36:34,580 --> 01:36:35,420
He'll love it.

2542
01:36:35,420 --> 01:36:38,940
As time goes on, if, as long as it's taken care of.

2543
01:36:38,940 --> 01:36:40,900
And I mean, if it ever has to part with it,

2544
01:36:40,900 --> 01:36:44,060
it's like it's still worth the money I paid for it or more.

2545
01:36:44,060 --> 01:36:47,340
But it's also a memory that we can enjoy.

2546
01:36:47,340 --> 01:36:48,540
Yeah, it's dope.

2547
01:36:48,540 --> 01:36:51,140
So that's kind of the thought process.

2548
01:36:51,140 --> 01:36:53,220
Because I've heard like, oh, I would never pay

2549
01:36:53,220 --> 01:36:54,180
that much for a watch.

2550
01:36:54,180 --> 01:36:55,900
And it's like, it's relative.

2551
01:36:55,900 --> 01:36:58,660
Because it's what you're into.

2552
01:36:58,660 --> 01:37:00,820
People all the time are like, everybody's got something

2553
01:37:00,820 --> 01:37:02,660
that they're fucking like into.

2554
01:37:02,660 --> 01:37:05,460
So people are like, oh, I would never spend $200

2555
01:37:05,460 --> 01:37:06,820
on a pair of shoes.

2556
01:37:06,820 --> 01:37:09,180
And then they got like the new Apple Watch.

2557
01:37:09,180 --> 01:37:10,940
And they're like, oh, how much is that?

2558
01:37:10,940 --> 01:37:13,300
They're like, oh, this is $800.

2559
01:37:13,300 --> 01:37:15,660
Like who the fuck would spend $800 on Apple Watch?

2560
01:37:15,660 --> 01:37:17,660
Wait a second, it's like, you see what I mean?

2561
01:37:17,660 --> 01:37:19,740
It's the same shit, dude.

2562
01:37:19,740 --> 01:37:21,180
Everybody has something that they're willing

2563
01:37:21,180 --> 01:37:22,700
to spend their money on.

2564
01:37:22,700 --> 01:37:25,860
You might not want, it might not even be material things,

2565
01:37:25,860 --> 01:37:27,740
it could be like, oh, I'll fly to Spain.

2566
01:37:27,740 --> 01:37:29,700
Or like go on vacation and blow a bunch of money,

2567
01:37:29,700 --> 01:37:30,540
I don't give a fuck.

2568
01:37:30,540 --> 01:37:31,620
You're in it for the experience.

2569
01:37:31,620 --> 01:37:32,460
Exactly.

2570
01:37:32,460 --> 01:37:34,820
So it's like, it's all about what you'll spend the money on.

2571
01:37:34,820 --> 01:37:37,700
So anything that's like expensive or seems extravagant,

2572
01:37:37,700 --> 01:37:40,100
it's just what that particular person has chosen

2573
01:37:40,100 --> 01:37:45,100
to allocate their time, money, everything to.

2574
01:37:45,500 --> 01:37:48,500
So it's like, there are some things that are insane.

2575
01:37:48,500 --> 01:37:51,740
Like I'll see, since I'm really into watches,

2576
01:37:51,740 --> 01:37:54,220
and it's like, everybody loves to dream

2577
01:37:54,220 --> 01:37:55,660
and like look at this crazy shit.

2578
01:37:55,660 --> 01:37:58,100
Like when I see one in the wild,

2579
01:37:58,100 --> 01:38:01,220
like I've been on the street in Chicago

2580
01:38:01,220 --> 01:38:03,860
and I saw a guy wearing a $400,000 watch,

2581
01:38:03,860 --> 01:38:05,220
just like walking down the street.

2582
01:38:05,220 --> 01:38:06,700
That is mind blowing.

2583
01:38:07,820 --> 01:38:08,740
But then you think about it,

2584
01:38:08,740 --> 01:38:10,860
if that guy's wearing a $400,000 watch,

2585
01:38:10,860 --> 01:38:14,700
that's probably like me buying a $400 watch

2586
01:38:14,700 --> 01:38:16,460
or a $4,000 watch.

2587
01:38:16,460 --> 01:38:18,420
This guy's gotta be balling out of control.

2588
01:38:18,420 --> 01:38:19,620
It's not like the guy's homeless,

2589
01:38:19,620 --> 01:38:20,660
he's like, no, I ain't got a house,

2590
01:38:20,660 --> 01:38:22,500
but I got this fucking watch right here.

2591
01:38:22,500 --> 01:38:25,380
So it's all relative when I see shit like that.

2592
01:38:25,380 --> 01:38:29,220
I mean, and that's why these industries exist.

2593
01:38:29,220 --> 01:38:31,580
Somebody's out there willing to fucking spend the money.

2594
01:38:31,580 --> 01:38:32,860
You know?

2595
01:38:32,860 --> 01:38:35,340
But I do say to people, it's like invest in a nice watch.

2596
01:38:35,340 --> 01:38:37,740
It doesn't have to be a thousand, four thousand.

2597
01:38:37,740 --> 01:38:39,340
You can get a nice watch that'll last forever

2598
01:38:39,340 --> 01:38:40,700
for $500 fucking dollars.

2599
01:38:43,700 --> 01:38:46,020
I know people are like, oh no, I'll stick with my Casio,

2600
01:38:46,020 --> 01:38:48,460
I'll pay $100 for it, I'll throw it away after two years.

2601
01:38:48,460 --> 01:38:51,060
It's like, yeah, but then you're gonna spend

2602
01:38:51,060 --> 01:38:53,420
another $100, just go ahead and spend a little more now,

2603
01:38:53,420 --> 01:38:54,940
have a watch that'll stand the test of time.

2604
01:38:54,940 --> 01:38:55,780
Yeah.

2605
01:38:55,780 --> 01:38:57,420
So that's, yeah, well watches are a thing for me.

2606
01:38:57,420 --> 01:38:59,900
I'm like, yeah, I'm not fucking, get you a nice watch.

2607
01:38:59,900 --> 01:39:00,940
Explore yourself.

2608
01:39:00,940 --> 01:39:02,860
When you were talking about shoes earlier,

2609
01:39:02,860 --> 01:39:05,060
you said part of the reason you were so interested

2610
01:39:05,060 --> 01:39:07,660
in sneakers was because each shoe tells a story.

2611
01:39:07,660 --> 01:39:08,500
Yeah.

2612
01:39:08,500 --> 01:39:09,740
And then you started talking about watches

2613
01:39:09,740 --> 01:39:11,380
and creating a family heirloom,

2614
01:39:11,380 --> 01:39:13,300
passing it down to your son,

2615
01:39:13,300 --> 01:39:15,100
by creating a story of your own.

2616
01:39:15,100 --> 01:39:16,540
Then you talked about the comic books

2617
01:39:16,540 --> 01:39:17,500
and everything like that.

2618
01:39:17,500 --> 01:39:19,620
You talked about storytelling earlier.

2619
01:39:19,620 --> 01:39:22,460
You told us the story of the history of comedy in Huntsville.

2620
01:39:22,460 --> 01:39:23,940
What is the, what do you have,

2621
01:39:23,940 --> 01:39:26,740
what is the significance of storytelling in your life?

2622
01:39:29,140 --> 01:39:33,860
I just find it interesting when things have a story.

2623
01:39:38,420 --> 01:39:40,500
First off, I enjoy a good story.

2624
01:39:40,500 --> 01:39:41,340
You know what I mean?

2625
01:39:41,340 --> 01:39:42,340
Like if you have a story to tell me,

2626
01:39:42,340 --> 01:39:43,180
I'm gonna be all ears.

2627
01:39:43,180 --> 01:39:44,300
I'm like, hey man, I wanna tell you something.

2628
01:39:44,300 --> 01:39:46,940
Oh yeah, I just love hearing stories.

2629
01:39:46,940 --> 01:39:50,540
But then I found out that kind of transcends

2630
01:39:50,540 --> 01:39:53,980
into stuff like shoes and watches and things like that.

2631
01:39:53,980 --> 01:39:56,100
Because if you really, when you get into something,

2632
01:39:56,100 --> 01:39:58,580
you realize there is something behind everything.

2633
01:39:58,580 --> 01:39:59,780
It's not just there.

2634
01:40:00,780 --> 01:40:02,820
I mean, there is shit that's, you know what I mean?

2635
01:40:02,820 --> 01:40:03,660
Yeah, but everything has a story.

2636
01:40:03,660 --> 01:40:05,300
And there's just shit that's there.

2637
01:40:05,300 --> 01:40:07,140
But sometimes if you dig deeper,

2638
01:40:07,140 --> 01:40:09,220
you realize the story behind some of this shit.

2639
01:40:09,220 --> 01:40:11,620
And it's like when you look at Jordans,

2640
01:40:11,620 --> 01:40:15,420
these Jordans have names, or the colorway has a name.

2641
01:40:15,420 --> 01:40:17,460
And if you dig a little deeper,

2642
01:40:17,460 --> 01:40:19,620
you'll realize why is it called that.

2643
01:40:19,620 --> 01:40:21,020
Because you'll see a Jordan,

2644
01:40:21,020 --> 01:40:22,940
like that Shatterback board that we showed.

2645
01:40:22,940 --> 01:40:25,660
Like Strange Love, this one right here,

2646
01:40:25,660 --> 01:40:26,740
this is called a Strange Love

2647
01:40:26,740 --> 01:40:29,740
because this is a collab with a skate shop called,

2648
01:40:29,740 --> 01:40:31,220
and that skate shop's called Strange Love.

2649
01:40:31,220 --> 01:40:33,700
They make skates and skateboards

2650
01:40:33,700 --> 01:40:36,340
and skateboard apparel and shit like that.

2651
01:40:36,340 --> 01:40:39,220
And this was a limited edition,

2652
01:40:39,220 --> 01:40:41,180
what you see there with that box, the shoes,

2653
01:40:41,180 --> 01:40:42,700
and the shit that all came together

2654
01:40:42,700 --> 01:40:44,660
is like a limited edition package.

2655
01:40:44,660 --> 01:40:47,660
And that's basically just a collab with that store.

2656
01:40:47,660 --> 01:40:51,620
But then the Shatteredback boards,

2657
01:40:51,620 --> 01:40:53,740
the ones that we looked at before,

2658
01:40:53,740 --> 01:40:55,100
that colorway does not be like,

2659
01:40:55,100 --> 01:40:57,460
that colorway makes perfect sense for a Shatteredback board.

2660
01:40:57,460 --> 01:40:59,020
The reason that's called a Shatteredback board

2661
01:40:59,020 --> 01:41:01,900
is because Michael Jordan was wearing those shoes

2662
01:41:01,900 --> 01:41:05,220
in that colorway when he played in,

2663
01:41:05,220 --> 01:41:07,300
or actually, let me take that back,

2664
01:41:07,300 --> 01:41:10,100
his uniform was that color.

2665
01:41:10,100 --> 01:41:11,980
It was black and orange.

2666
01:41:11,980 --> 01:41:14,340
I can't remember which Jordans he was wearing exactly,

2667
01:41:14,340 --> 01:41:17,180
but that color scheme right there,

2668
01:41:17,180 --> 01:41:20,140
he was playing an exhibition game in Italy,

2669
01:41:20,140 --> 01:41:23,180
and he dunked and shattered the backboard.

2670
01:41:24,540 --> 01:41:28,420
So then they made this shoe several years later,

2671
01:41:28,420 --> 01:41:30,580
and they incorporated the color from his uniform

2672
01:41:30,580 --> 01:41:31,860
as the color blocking on the shoe,

2673
01:41:31,860 --> 01:41:33,620
and they call it the Shatteredback board.

2674
01:41:33,620 --> 01:41:35,620
So that's the story behind that shoe.

2675
01:41:35,620 --> 01:41:37,540
And then there's a million of them in Jordan 1s.

2676
01:41:37,540 --> 01:41:39,460
There's like the Letterman Jordan 1s,

2677
01:41:39,460 --> 01:41:41,980
and it is literally the color scheme

2678
01:41:41,980 --> 01:41:44,260
is based on the lining of Jordan's suit

2679
01:41:44,260 --> 01:41:47,620
that he wore on his first appearance on David Letterman.

2680
01:41:47,620 --> 01:41:49,220
Like when you dig a little deeper,

2681
01:41:49,220 --> 01:41:50,900
you see these little stories,

2682
01:41:50,900 --> 01:41:52,060
and that's not just in Jordan,

2683
01:41:52,060 --> 01:41:53,540
it's in a lot of shoes, period.

2684
01:41:53,540 --> 01:41:58,540
It's just like the backstory of why is it called that?

2685
01:42:00,540 --> 01:42:03,340
It's not just, sometimes they might just pull something

2686
01:42:03,340 --> 01:42:04,700
out of midair occasionally,

2687
01:42:04,700 --> 01:42:07,220
but most of the time there's a story on how it's created.

2688
01:42:07,220 --> 01:42:08,500
And sometimes it gets real deep.

2689
01:42:08,500 --> 01:42:12,500
New Balance had this shoe where it's called,

2690
01:42:12,500 --> 01:42:13,580
I can't even say it,

2691
01:42:13,580 --> 01:42:16,820
it's the word cursed backwards, okay?

2692
01:42:17,940 --> 01:42:20,060
So, like I said, I can't even,

2693
01:42:20,060 --> 01:42:22,340
I can't say it was the word cursed backwards.

2694
01:42:22,340 --> 01:42:25,580
So what it is, this shoe,

2695
01:42:26,740 --> 01:42:31,740
the color way is based on basically like the colors,

2696
01:42:32,500 --> 01:42:36,100
the primary colors that were used in this play.

2697
01:42:38,340 --> 01:42:39,800
This is how deep it goes.

2698
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:44,140
So when Babe Ruth was bought by the Yankees

2699
01:42:44,140 --> 01:42:45,900
from the Red Sox, right?

2700
01:42:45,900 --> 01:42:48,980
Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to Curse of the Mambino.

2701
01:42:48,980 --> 01:42:49,820
Okay, yeah.

2702
01:42:49,820 --> 01:42:50,940
If you're familiar, Curse of the Mambino,

2703
01:42:50,940 --> 01:42:52,940
they sold him to the Yankees.

2704
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,720
The money that the Red Sox received,

2705
01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:58,260
the owner of the Red Sox,

2706
01:42:58,260 --> 01:43:02,380
put that money into an off-Broadway play, okay?

2707
01:43:02,380 --> 01:43:04,860
And the play bombed, okay?

2708
01:43:04,860 --> 01:43:06,500
And the play had like all this,

2709
01:43:06,500 --> 01:43:09,780
you know, like all the marketing and play bill and shit like

2710
01:43:09,780 --> 01:43:10,620
that, right?

2711
01:43:10,620 --> 01:43:13,860
So the colors that were in like the play bill,

2712
01:43:13,860 --> 01:43:15,380
that's the colors of the shoe.

2713
01:43:16,260 --> 01:43:20,280
And then the box and the paper in the box,

2714
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:21,980
like wrapping the shoe,

2715
01:43:21,980 --> 01:43:25,380
are modeled after the play bill and the set

2716
01:43:25,380 --> 01:43:26,920
from the play that failed.

2717
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:29,980
And then the shoe is called cursed backwards.

2718
01:43:30,940 --> 01:43:32,540
So it's the Babe Ruth shoe.

2719
01:43:32,540 --> 01:43:33,380
Oh, that's tight.

2720
01:43:33,380 --> 01:43:34,220
Yeah.

2721
01:43:34,220 --> 01:43:35,260
So I mean, that's like,

2722
01:43:35,260 --> 01:43:38,140
that's design that went into the paper, the box,

2723
01:43:38,140 --> 01:43:41,820
the shoe, that fucking, like, who knew, you know,

2724
01:43:41,820 --> 01:43:44,900
you wouldn't know that the money that Babe Ruth

2725
01:43:44,900 --> 01:43:47,980
was bought with was used to find it to fucking play

2726
01:43:47,980 --> 01:43:50,980
for one of the greatest baseball players of all fucking time.

2727
01:43:50,980 --> 01:43:52,500
You know, it's just like little shit like that.

2728
01:43:52,500 --> 01:43:54,700
You read it and you're like, wow, that's fucking cool.

2729
01:43:54,700 --> 01:43:56,060
That's like fascinating.

2730
01:43:56,060 --> 01:44:00,960
And it's, that kind of storytelling is not just in shoes.

2731
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:04,100
It's with like watches or fashion brands

2732
01:44:04,100 --> 01:44:08,540
or a family heirloom or, you know, or like,

2733
01:44:08,540 --> 01:44:10,380
that's why, you know, sometimes you see somebody

2734
01:44:10,380 --> 01:44:12,220
wearing a vintage watch, like an old watch,

2735
01:44:12,220 --> 01:44:14,420
and I'm like, tell me about that old watch.

2736
01:44:14,420 --> 01:44:16,460
They might tell you a fucking fascinating story.

2737
01:44:16,460 --> 01:44:18,180
You know, I've heard some of the most fascinating shit

2738
01:44:18,180 --> 01:44:20,620
in my life just by asking questions about shit like that,

2739
01:44:20,620 --> 01:44:25,120
or digging below the surface level on like,

2740
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:26,220
what's in that name?

2741
01:44:26,220 --> 01:44:28,700
Like, why is it called that or whatever it is?

2742
01:44:28,700 --> 01:44:32,100
So it's like, I really dig that shit.

2743
01:44:32,100 --> 01:44:36,980
That's why I also like, like in anything like a TV show,

2744
01:44:36,980 --> 01:44:39,820
like a show that has like all that background lore

2745
01:44:39,820 --> 01:44:41,260
and mythology built around it.

2746
01:44:41,260 --> 01:44:42,140
Game of Thrones, love it?

2747
01:44:42,140 --> 01:44:43,220
Yeah, of course.

2748
01:44:43,220 --> 01:44:45,420
And it's like supernatural, 15 seasons,

2749
01:44:45,420 --> 01:44:46,940
like all that went into it.

2750
01:44:46,940 --> 01:44:48,700
And then it's like Lost was a great show

2751
01:44:48,700 --> 01:44:50,300
that built all the, you know what I mean?

2752
01:44:50,300 --> 01:44:51,880
It's like, I love that shit.

2753
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:53,740
It's really fascinating to me.

2754
01:44:53,740 --> 01:44:57,420
Like I admire the creativity of the people that made that.

2755
01:44:57,420 --> 01:45:00,620
Like how they built that world.

2756
01:45:00,620 --> 01:45:03,260
George R. R. Martin, like with Game of Thrones and shit.

2757
01:45:03,260 --> 01:45:06,100
And I just have always really gravitated

2758
01:45:06,100 --> 01:45:06,940
towards shit like that.

2759
01:45:06,940 --> 01:45:08,380
And then like when I first started comedy,

2760
01:45:08,380 --> 01:45:11,460
the reason I wanted to do comedy in the first place,

2761
01:45:11,460 --> 01:45:14,020
number one, being a fan and like seeing,

2762
01:45:14,020 --> 01:45:14,860
like I wish I could do that.

2763
01:45:14,860 --> 01:45:17,860
But also it's like, I was always kind of like

2764
01:45:17,860 --> 01:45:19,340
the storyteller of the group.

2765
01:45:19,340 --> 01:45:21,260
Like I would tell stories, like people would always be like,

2766
01:45:21,260 --> 01:45:23,340
hey man, tell everybody about that time.

2767
01:45:23,340 --> 01:45:25,700
And I would tell the story and people all the time

2768
01:45:25,700 --> 01:45:26,940
would be like, man, you should do comedy.

2769
01:45:26,940 --> 01:45:28,060
Like you tell a really good story.

2770
01:45:28,060 --> 01:45:30,060
And that's what kind of like built me up.

2771
01:45:30,060 --> 01:45:31,860
Like I should, I should try it.

2772
01:45:31,860 --> 01:45:34,380
And it's like, and now even when I do comedy,

2773
01:45:34,380 --> 01:45:38,020
everything I do is kind of in a storytelling style.

2774
01:45:38,020 --> 01:45:39,420
That's really kind of my style.

2775
01:45:39,420 --> 01:45:41,100
It's like conversational storytelling.

2776
01:45:41,100 --> 01:45:45,220
So it's like, it kind of all just rotates around that, man.

2777
01:45:45,220 --> 01:45:47,140
It's just like, that's what I enjoy.

2778
01:45:47,140 --> 01:45:50,260
So that's kind of what I try to put back out there.

2779
01:45:50,260 --> 01:45:54,700
Because it's, it dovetails well for me.

2780
01:45:54,700 --> 01:45:56,580
Does that answer your question?

2781
01:45:56,580 --> 01:45:57,940
It's an hour and seven minutes.

2782
01:45:57,940 --> 01:45:59,380
Okay, we're good, we're good.

2783
01:45:59,380 --> 01:46:00,220
All right.

2784
01:46:01,220 --> 01:46:02,820
So you would tell, trying to put me on a time limit?

2785
01:46:02,820 --> 01:46:03,660
No, no, no.

2786
01:46:03,660 --> 01:46:04,980
I have to know.

2787
01:46:06,980 --> 01:46:10,220
I will not be fucking shut down.

2788
01:46:11,500 --> 01:46:13,260
Hell no, I gotta ask you about this.

2789
01:46:13,260 --> 01:46:18,260
What is the 2015 Air Sex World Championships?

2790
01:46:20,300 --> 01:46:22,620
That's a layered question.

2791
01:46:22,620 --> 01:46:23,460
What's this all about?

2792
01:46:23,460 --> 01:46:24,660
I just want to know what it is.

2793
01:46:24,660 --> 01:46:29,300
Oh, it was a gentleman by the name of Chris True.

2794
01:46:29,300 --> 01:46:30,140
Uh-huh.

2795
01:46:30,140 --> 01:46:32,300
Out of New Orleans, Louisiana.

2796
01:46:32,300 --> 01:46:34,620
Had that show and it toured across the country.

2797
01:46:35,500 --> 01:46:36,420
Oh, it's a show?

2798
01:46:36,420 --> 01:46:37,260
That's a show.

2799
01:46:37,260 --> 01:46:38,180
Oh, okay.

2800
01:46:38,180 --> 01:46:39,020
Yeah, yeah.

2801
01:46:39,020 --> 01:46:42,420
I didn't know you liked what the comic, like an air,

2802
01:46:42,420 --> 01:46:44,060
like they had sex with air or something.

2803
01:46:44,060 --> 01:46:46,180
Oh no, you do have sex with the air.

2804
01:46:46,180 --> 01:46:47,860
You do, it's a competition.

2805
01:46:47,860 --> 01:46:49,500
It's like air guitar, but air fucking.

2806
01:46:49,500 --> 01:46:50,540
You fucking with me?

2807
01:46:50,540 --> 01:46:51,380
No, I'm not.

2808
01:46:53,980 --> 01:46:57,100
Yes, we did it a couple times.

2809
01:46:57,100 --> 01:47:00,540
Actually, at one point he had sold the show to MTV.

2810
01:47:00,540 --> 01:47:02,500
But then they backed out.

2811
01:47:02,500 --> 01:47:07,500
But 2015 was the first time I had met Chris True

2812
01:47:08,700 --> 01:47:10,540
because I did a festival in New Orleans

2813
01:47:10,540 --> 01:47:11,860
called Hell Yes Fest.

2814
01:47:13,140 --> 01:47:17,060
And I met Chris and very long story short,

2815
01:47:17,060 --> 01:47:19,460
Chris is like a little scumbaggy.

2816
01:47:19,460 --> 01:47:23,740
There's a lot of negative things

2817
01:47:23,740 --> 01:47:26,540
that not derive from air sex.

2818
01:47:26,540 --> 01:47:30,220
But I'll just say there's a vulture article out there

2819
01:47:30,220 --> 01:47:33,620
about some shit that happened in the New Orleans

2820
01:47:33,620 --> 01:47:36,500
comedy scene that I don't believe we have the time

2821
01:47:36,500 --> 01:47:37,620
to dig into.

2822
01:47:38,660 --> 01:47:41,540
But Chris ran that show and basically you'd have

2823
01:47:41,540 --> 01:47:44,500
three judges and a performer would come out

2824
01:47:44,500 --> 01:47:47,220
and you'd play a song of your choosing

2825
01:47:47,220 --> 01:47:49,340
and then you would have air sex.

2826
01:47:49,340 --> 01:47:51,140
You'd have sex with the air.

2827
01:47:52,500 --> 01:47:53,740
And people got into it.

2828
01:47:53,740 --> 01:47:55,260
There were costumes, props.

2829
01:47:55,260 --> 01:47:57,700
All kinds of shit.

2830
01:47:57,700 --> 01:47:59,740
Chris would open the show, he would host

2831
01:47:59,740 --> 01:48:00,900
and he would open and be like,

2832
01:48:00,900 --> 01:48:02,580
this is what I'm talking about with air sex.

2833
01:48:02,580 --> 01:48:05,220
And he would do this air sex routine that he had.

2834
01:48:06,460 --> 01:48:09,340
And then we would have booked comics

2835
01:48:09,340 --> 01:48:12,020
and maybe one spot where if anybody from the crowd

2836
01:48:12,020 --> 01:48:13,100
wanted to participate.

2837
01:48:14,780 --> 01:48:16,140
And it's super fun.

2838
01:48:16,140 --> 01:48:17,300
Did you air sex?

2839
01:48:17,300 --> 01:48:18,140
Did I?

2840
01:48:18,140 --> 01:48:18,980
No, I was always a judge.

2841
01:48:18,980 --> 01:48:19,820
Okay, okay.

2842
01:48:19,820 --> 01:48:20,660
No.

2843
01:48:20,660 --> 01:48:25,300
If I did, it would have been probably a spaced theme.

2844
01:48:25,300 --> 01:48:26,780
I think I would have fucked on the moon.

2845
01:48:26,780 --> 01:48:28,620
Little weightless.

2846
01:48:28,620 --> 01:48:32,420
Little weightless with some police like walking on the moon.

2847
01:48:32,420 --> 01:48:34,540
You know, like something like that.

2848
01:48:34,540 --> 01:48:36,660
I had the idea but I was always a judge

2849
01:48:36,660 --> 01:48:38,140
which I was fine with.

2850
01:48:38,140 --> 01:48:40,380
Fun show, they don't do it anymore.

2851
01:48:40,380 --> 01:48:41,220
I don't believe.

2852
01:48:41,220 --> 01:48:42,540
I believe that show's now defunct

2853
01:48:42,540 --> 01:48:44,020
but that's what air sex was.

2854
01:48:44,020 --> 01:48:46,180
It was actually a very popular touring show.

2855
01:48:46,180 --> 01:48:48,740
Or yeah, you had sex with the air to music.

2856
01:48:48,740 --> 01:48:50,620
Damn, it's pretty unique.

2857
01:48:50,620 --> 01:48:51,460
Yeah, very unique.

2858
01:48:51,460 --> 01:48:52,300
Same battle.

2859
01:48:52,300 --> 01:48:53,140
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2860
01:48:53,140 --> 01:48:53,980
Sex battle.

2861
01:48:53,980 --> 01:48:56,060
I mean, he would take it to festivals

2862
01:48:56,060 --> 01:48:57,660
and tour around.

2863
01:48:57,660 --> 01:48:58,780
I mean, I've saw it.

2864
01:48:58,780 --> 01:49:00,540
I had it here in Huntsville twice

2865
01:49:00,540 --> 01:49:01,980
and I saw it in multiple other cities.

2866
01:49:01,980 --> 01:49:03,660
It was a whole deal.

2867
01:49:03,660 --> 01:49:04,580
Oh shit.

2868
01:49:04,580 --> 01:49:05,420
Yeah.

2869
01:49:05,420 --> 01:49:06,580
Damn, dude.

2870
01:49:06,580 --> 01:49:08,580
Never even considered that.

2871
01:49:08,580 --> 01:49:10,180
I love theme shows, man.

2872
01:49:10,180 --> 01:49:11,780
Theme shows are so much fun

2873
01:49:11,780 --> 01:49:14,100
and it gets to a point

2874
01:49:14,100 --> 01:49:15,700
when you've been doing comedy long enough,

2875
01:49:15,700 --> 01:49:16,860
it's like stand up is great

2876
01:49:16,860 --> 01:49:20,660
but it's also any opportunity you have

2877
01:49:20,660 --> 01:49:24,220
to be funny while doing something

2878
01:49:24,220 --> 01:49:27,300
besides stand up is like a godsend.

2879
01:49:27,300 --> 01:49:29,100
It's great because it forces you

2880
01:49:29,100 --> 01:49:33,620
to flex comedy muscles that you don't normally flex.

2881
01:49:33,620 --> 01:49:34,460
That's what I love.

2882
01:49:34,460 --> 01:49:36,140
I like anything that forces you

2883
01:49:36,140 --> 01:49:38,140
to try to be spontaneously funny.

2884
01:49:39,580 --> 01:49:41,140
So theme shows are really good for that.

2885
01:49:41,140 --> 01:49:44,460
So actually part of what we're doing in 24,

2886
01:49:44,460 --> 01:49:46,380
we're gonna do some theme shows.

2887
01:49:46,380 --> 01:49:47,420
We're gonna bring them back.

2888
01:49:47,420 --> 01:49:52,060
I normally, every epic anniversary weekend,

2889
01:49:52,060 --> 01:49:53,900
we normally do one or two theme shows

2890
01:49:53,900 --> 01:49:56,140
but I think we're gonna try to do one

2891
01:49:56,140 --> 01:49:58,460
maybe once a month moving forward.

2892
01:49:58,460 --> 01:50:02,180
And it'll be shit like comedy karaoke.

2893
01:50:03,340 --> 01:50:08,020
So what we'll do is we'll actually have a host

2894
01:50:08,900 --> 01:50:10,540
and then three judges.

2895
01:50:10,540 --> 01:50:12,860
All three judges will be comics.

2896
01:50:12,860 --> 01:50:14,540
The host will be a comic.

2897
01:50:14,540 --> 01:50:18,060
The karaoke is literally open for sign up.

2898
01:50:18,900 --> 01:50:20,420
Anyone can do it.

2899
01:50:20,420 --> 01:50:22,300
But when you do the karaoke,

2900
01:50:22,300 --> 01:50:25,420
you submit to being judged and roasted

2901
01:50:25,420 --> 01:50:27,500
by the judges and the host.

2902
01:50:27,500 --> 01:50:28,740
Hell yeah.

2903
01:50:28,740 --> 01:50:31,220
And there will be a big prize.

2904
01:50:31,220 --> 01:50:33,580
Like when we got sponsors and shit,

2905
01:50:33,580 --> 01:50:37,660
there'll be a big prize that whoever is the best,

2906
01:50:37,660 --> 01:50:39,780
who wins comedy karaoke will get a prize

2907
01:50:39,780 --> 01:50:41,300
and we're gonna do that format

2908
01:50:41,300 --> 01:50:43,940
for a couple other competition style shows too.

2909
01:50:43,940 --> 01:50:45,900
That sounds like an amazing fucking idea.

2910
01:50:45,900 --> 01:50:46,740
That'll be fun.

2911
01:50:46,740 --> 01:50:48,300
And we'll be signing up for that.

2912
01:50:48,300 --> 01:50:49,620
Me too.

2913
01:50:49,620 --> 01:50:51,780
So you would like, if you wanna wear a costume

2914
01:50:51,780 --> 01:50:52,740
and all this shit.

2915
01:50:52,740 --> 01:50:53,580
You can do whatever you want.

2916
01:50:53,580 --> 01:50:54,420
Whatever you want.

2917
01:50:54,420 --> 01:50:55,620
You can do whatever you like.

2918
01:50:55,620 --> 01:50:56,460
Oh yeah.

2919
01:50:56,460 --> 01:50:57,300
But you can do whatever you want.

2920
01:50:57,300 --> 01:51:02,300
You are submitting to the mercy of the judges and the host.

2921
01:51:03,740 --> 01:51:04,580
I love to get roasted.

2922
01:51:04,580 --> 01:51:05,420
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2923
01:51:05,420 --> 01:51:06,260
Me too.

2924
01:51:06,260 --> 01:51:07,700
Exactly, exactly.

2925
01:51:07,700 --> 01:51:09,980
So I love a good theme show.

2926
01:51:09,980 --> 01:51:11,700
Air Sex is a great theme.

2927
01:51:11,700 --> 01:51:14,260
And it's one of those things,

2928
01:51:14,260 --> 01:51:15,820
when you think about it now with comedy,

2929
01:51:15,820 --> 01:51:20,260
it's like, it's hard to come up with a good theme.

2930
01:51:20,260 --> 01:51:21,820
Because if you come up right now,

2931
01:51:21,820 --> 01:51:22,820
like if we literally were like,

2932
01:51:22,820 --> 01:51:24,020
all right, let's come up with a theme show.

2933
01:51:24,020 --> 01:51:25,140
You'd be like, what about this?

2934
01:51:25,140 --> 01:51:28,140
And I'd be like, there's already a show that does it.

2935
01:51:28,140 --> 01:51:30,700
Because if it's cool and you've thought of it.

2936
01:51:30,700 --> 01:51:31,580
Somebody else probably.

2937
01:51:31,580 --> 01:51:33,340
Somebody else has already thought of that shit too.

2938
01:51:33,340 --> 01:51:36,340
And comedy is also very protective.

2939
01:51:36,340 --> 01:51:39,340
So if you, I've seen this shit happen.

2940
01:51:39,340 --> 01:51:41,100
If you have an idea, you're like,

2941
01:51:41,100 --> 01:51:42,980
oh, I wanna do this as a theme show.

2942
01:51:42,980 --> 01:51:44,500
And that show say already exists

2943
01:51:44,500 --> 01:51:46,700
and somebody runs it like out West.

2944
01:51:46,700 --> 01:51:49,420
If you start to do that show and advertise it

2945
01:51:49,420 --> 01:51:53,420
and the people who do that show originally out West,

2946
01:51:53,420 --> 01:51:54,820
they will call you out and be like,

2947
01:51:54,820 --> 01:51:57,100
you fucking stole my idea.

2948
01:51:57,100 --> 01:51:58,620
You're a fucking thief.

2949
01:51:58,620 --> 01:51:59,940
And then comedy community will be like,

2950
01:51:59,940 --> 01:52:01,180
thief, thief, thief, thief.

2951
01:52:01,180 --> 01:52:02,020
And then,

2952
01:52:02,020 --> 01:52:02,860
Shit.

2953
01:52:02,860 --> 01:52:03,680
And then you're like,

2954
01:52:03,680 --> 01:52:06,680
thief, thief, thief, thief, thief, thief, thief, thief.

2955
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:07,520
And then,

2956
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:08,360
Shit.

2957
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:10,300
It's as bad as stealing a joke.

2958
01:52:10,300 --> 01:52:11,380
It's taking somebody's idea.

2959
01:52:11,380 --> 01:52:12,860
It's as bad as stealing a joke.

2960
01:52:12,860 --> 01:52:16,600
So that's why some shows, like theme shows,

2961
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:19,100
when you see them done and I've had to do this,

2962
01:52:19,100 --> 01:52:21,380
it's like, I contact the creator and be like,

2963
01:52:21,380 --> 01:52:23,180
hey, I would like to do a version of your show.

2964
01:52:23,180 --> 01:52:24,500
Do I have your blessing?

2965
01:52:24,500 --> 01:52:26,860
And some of them will send me fucking packets

2966
01:52:26,860 --> 01:52:27,700
of information.

2967
01:52:27,700 --> 01:52:29,020
It's like, this is how the show should be run.

2968
01:52:29,020 --> 01:52:29,860
No, damn.

2969
01:52:29,860 --> 01:52:30,700
This is what I need.

2970
01:52:30,700 --> 01:52:32,060
And I'm like, okay, I respect that.

2971
01:52:32,060 --> 01:52:33,260
And you do it their way.

2972
01:52:33,260 --> 01:52:35,420
And then you can use, you can advertise it.

2973
01:52:35,420 --> 01:52:36,780
They'll advertise it for you.

2974
01:52:36,780 --> 01:52:39,320
It's just the better way of doing business

2975
01:52:39,320 --> 01:52:41,560
than try to take some shit out from under somebody,

2976
01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:44,260
which a lot of comics do.

2977
01:52:44,260 --> 01:52:45,500
A lot of fucking people do that.

2978
01:52:45,500 --> 01:52:46,940
And sometimes it's ignorance.

2979
01:52:46,940 --> 01:52:48,020
They're not doing it on purpose.

2980
01:52:48,020 --> 01:52:49,540
They don't fucking know any better.

2981
01:52:49,540 --> 01:52:52,260
But the problem is, even if they don't know,

2982
01:52:52,260 --> 01:52:54,460
they're gonna get told in a very harsh way.

2983
01:52:56,220 --> 01:52:59,700
So it's like, I will say, anything,

2984
01:52:59,700 --> 01:53:01,340
do your research first.

2985
01:53:01,340 --> 01:53:03,460
If you have an idea on anything and you're like,

2986
01:53:03,460 --> 01:53:05,540
yeah, this, see if it already exists.

2987
01:53:05,540 --> 01:53:07,580
Because there's a fucking good chance

2988
01:53:07,580 --> 01:53:12,060
something like it or that exact thing already exists.

2989
01:53:12,060 --> 01:53:14,500
Air sex, you'll never see another one.

2990
01:53:14,500 --> 01:53:16,740
You'll never see that again.

2991
01:53:16,740 --> 01:53:18,500
This shit was wild, dude.

2992
01:53:18,500 --> 01:53:20,300
It was very wild.

2993
01:53:20,300 --> 01:53:21,140
It was.

2994
01:53:21,140 --> 01:53:22,460
It was funny, but it was also, I mean,

2995
01:53:22,460 --> 01:53:23,300
it couldn't help.

2996
01:53:23,300 --> 01:53:24,140
It was a little hot.

2997
01:53:24,140 --> 01:53:27,100
It was a little, it could get a little sexy.

2998
01:53:27,100 --> 01:53:28,780
It could get a little sexy.

2999
01:53:28,780 --> 01:53:29,620
I bet.

3000
01:53:29,620 --> 01:53:30,440
Yeah, man.

3001
01:53:30,440 --> 01:53:31,740
I mean, because you had people up there

3002
01:53:31,740 --> 01:53:33,700
that were kinda, that would half-ass it a little bit.

3003
01:53:33,700 --> 01:53:36,140
And then the next person would be like,

3004
01:53:36,140 --> 01:53:37,140
I think they came.

3005
01:53:39,140 --> 01:53:40,700
I think they busted a little bit.

3006
01:53:40,700 --> 01:53:43,140
That was fucking, I busted a little bit.

3007
01:53:43,140 --> 01:53:44,040
They got to me.

3008
01:53:45,620 --> 01:53:46,620
Hell yeah, dude.

3009
01:53:47,620 --> 01:53:49,400
All right, this is the end of podcasts.

3010
01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:52,380
What we're gonna do now, you're just gonna say

3011
01:53:52,380 --> 01:53:55,780
anything you have to promote or your ads or anything.

3012
01:53:55,780 --> 01:53:57,860
And I'll put it on the screen next to you.

3013
01:53:57,860 --> 01:53:58,700

I don't know why I spelled it

3018
01:54:08,780 --> 01:54:09,980
if you're gonna put it on the screen.

3019
01:54:09,980 --> 01:54:11,780
