00:00:08.699 --> 00:00:12.560
Hey folks, welcome to Good News York. I'm your

00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.820
host, Matt Major, from Growth Mode Content. Sitting

00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:18.719
next to me is my smiley, as always, sidekick,

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.480
Mikey B. I am smiley. I'm in a very good mood.

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.219
So we have Brian Ink coming in today. Yes. And

00:00:25.219 --> 00:00:29.039
I love Brian. And we've got Tuesday Newsday.

00:00:29.260 --> 00:00:31.820
Tuesday Newsday. We're getting a pizza party

00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:34.119
you just told me two weeks ago. We are. We are.

00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:36.259
So we're going to have a little celebration a

00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:37.799
little later, and we'll break right into this.

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.100
So very excited to celebrate our growth mode

00:00:42.100 --> 00:00:45.399
content team recently. If you've been perusing

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.840
the TikTok, you will notice there's a clip featuring

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.240
this friendly guy and our man Dan Garcia from

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:58.899
the Garage at 3100. That clip has 120 ,000. I

00:00:58.899 --> 00:01:01.600
forgot to ask you, is that our, that's our most

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.400
view. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. So what's cool is

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.219
if you look at our aggregate numbers, you know,

00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.040
from all the different clips, since we put out

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.200
so many every day, that's a consistent organic

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.939
content strategy that we do for all our clients.

00:01:13.579 --> 00:01:15.680
You will see that we got great combined numbers,

00:01:15.739 --> 00:01:18.959
but for a single video, yeah, this is the, this

00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:20.439
is one of the best ones that we've put out. Yep,

00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:22.359
but tell them what we're talking about in the

00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.560
video. We're talking about oil changes. This

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.540
is wild. We're getting expert advice from Dan,

00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.959
the proprietor of these local auto businesses.

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.359
But I love it, because everybody sort of has

00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.579
an opinion. Even folks that don't necessarily

00:01:38.579 --> 00:01:42.700
disagree. Like, we get incredible interaction

00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:45.359
from folks that are like, yep, that's what I

00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.859
do. Yeah. It's like, nope, 3 ,000. Cool. Fight

00:01:48.859 --> 00:01:52.480
I own one thing. I owned a Chevy. I ran that

00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.480
thing in the ground 350 ,000 miles. I only changed

00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.500
the oil three three twice and then someone's

00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:01.000
like you're an idiot You should do it every 2

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.620
,000. It's a very wild It is wild and you know,

00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.200
it got me thinking you you always push this organic

00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.680
content organic content organic content I mean

00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:14.740
that is as organic as it gets. Yeah, we we I

00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:16.860
just asked the question, you know, hey, just

00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:19.699
wondering, you know, is it 3 ,000 miles, 5 ,000,

00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:23.219
what is it? Who knew that that would, and I guess

00:02:23.219 --> 00:02:24.639
I chalk it up to this, because every time we

00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.139
think we figure out the algorithms, something

00:02:27.139 --> 00:02:28.960
like this happens, right? Yeah, well, I mean,

00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.780
and it's one of those things where we're getting

00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:33.740
continually better because we're figuring out

00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:37.650
these things, right? So you will see a... continual

00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:39.889
growth and what's very exciting, you know, you'll

00:02:39.889 --> 00:02:41.330
still have people in, and we're talking about

00:02:41.330 --> 00:02:44.889
120 ,000 views, which is a huge number, but in

00:02:44.889 --> 00:02:46.349
internet terms, you know, there's people like,

00:02:46.629 --> 00:02:48.169
oh, well, you know, these guys get a million

00:02:48.169 --> 00:02:51.129
views on every video and all the time, and that's

00:02:51.129 --> 00:02:54.810
cool. What's exciting to me is we are going to

00:02:54.810 --> 00:02:57.210
do that. What we should keep in mind is this

00:02:57.210 --> 00:03:01.300
is a brand new account that we started. only

00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:03.919
a couple of months ago. It's only got 2 ,000

00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.759
followers on it, but they've been growing rapidly.

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:10.280
And from scratch, this kind of shows our entire

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.780
point of why we're doing this growth mode content

00:03:12.780 --> 00:03:15.479
thing. It's why we have more businesses every

00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.759
day signing up to make podcasts and have us create

00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.599
this organic, consistent content. It works. And

00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.840
you see that we got this one great video. But

00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.060
also, if you look back, you'll see all of our

00:03:27.060 --> 00:03:29.669
other videos. The numbers on them are continuing

00:03:29.669 --> 00:03:32.830
to grow. The audience is growing, the algorithm...

00:03:32.830 --> 00:03:34.469
Our client's numbers. ...is seeing what we're

00:03:34.469 --> 00:03:38.090
doing, and it's just, yeah, it's across the board.

00:03:38.789 --> 00:03:42.469
Consistency is the key in content, and that is

00:03:42.469 --> 00:03:44.610
also the hardest thing you do. It really is.

00:03:44.830 --> 00:03:47.590
And that's why our service exists. I think, you

00:03:47.590 --> 00:03:49.370
know, I was talking to you about it off the air

00:03:49.370 --> 00:03:51.569
a lot, and the only thing I can think of is,

00:03:51.569 --> 00:03:54.800
you know... I'm like, how did we get 100 ,000

00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.080
views on talking about oil changes? And then

00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.599
I remembered talking about that llama video and

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.539
how much we got like 20 ,000 views off of that.

00:04:02.819 --> 00:04:04.539
And I just got to thinking that, you know what

00:04:04.539 --> 00:04:07.020
it is? Everybody has to deal with oil changes

00:04:07.020 --> 00:04:09.419
in some capacity, right? It's an everyday, every

00:04:09.419 --> 00:04:12.460
month, a couple month thing. It's it's not something

00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:15.199
and it's something that a lot of people have

00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.339
a lot of different opinions on and I think that

00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:19.980
was the recipe that worked Well, and it's that

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:22.060
and then all the tried -and -true set strategies

00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:24.139
that we deploy on every video right where we

00:04:24.139 --> 00:04:26.500
use What they call a hook that's the first couple

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:29.310
of seconds that grabs you and keeps you in It's

00:04:29.310 --> 00:04:31.629
got the right graphics that keeps your attention.

00:04:31.889 --> 00:04:34.730
It's got even the text that helps the search.

00:04:35.089 --> 00:04:37.230
And on TikTok, they call it the for you page,

00:04:37.350 --> 00:04:39.670
the algorithm that feeds it to people, which,

00:04:39.769 --> 00:04:42.250
by the way, is almost all of the views from that.

00:04:42.350 --> 00:04:46.230
It is people that the algorithm has fed it to,

00:04:46.230 --> 00:04:48.550
which is the whole name of the game. You know

00:04:48.550 --> 00:04:50.050
what always trips me out? And I'm just very excited.

00:04:50.290 --> 00:04:53.050
And to celebrate that, we're going to get some

00:04:53.050 --> 00:04:56.389
pizza for us. Fuck yes. I could eat pizza for

00:04:56.389 --> 00:04:58.089
lunch, breakfast and dinner. It's the only food.

00:04:58.580 --> 00:05:04.240
I'll be honest, it sounds cheesy. Oh, you pepperoni,

00:05:04.379 --> 00:05:06.199
you. I just want to celebrate something. And

00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:07.579
that was the quickest thing I could think of

00:05:07.579 --> 00:05:09.660
is today, let's have lunch and let's order some

00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:14.300
food for everybody. But in all honesty, when

00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:17.920
we hit a million view video, we might throw a

00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.000
ticker tape parade or something. Oh, parade?

00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:23.199
Let's do it. Down the hallway. I got to say,

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:26.250
you're talking about how people. in the social

00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:27.829
media world, they're like, oh, 100 ,000 views.

00:05:27.930 --> 00:05:30.050
I mean, that's not really that much. Think about

00:05:30.050 --> 00:05:31.730
it in this term. This is what always blows my

00:05:31.730 --> 00:05:34.370
mind open. Imagine back in the day when we were

00:05:34.370 --> 00:05:39.149
growing up, television ratings. Imagine 100 ,000

00:05:39.149 --> 00:05:42.490
people seeing something you created. That's like

00:05:42.490 --> 00:05:44.649
a stadium full of people. When you look at it

00:05:44.649 --> 00:05:46.629
that way, it's just like, how is this happening?

00:05:46.829 --> 00:05:48.329
But this is the world we live in. The average,

00:05:49.149 --> 00:05:51.009
you know, you think a big name like cable news

00:05:51.009 --> 00:05:54.639
shows, like the... You know, all of the names

00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.519
that you can think of. ABC News. Fox and CNN

00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.100
and MSNBC, all those people. They don't average

00:06:01.100 --> 00:06:03.699
that many views per episode. They don't have

00:06:03.699 --> 00:06:05.740
that many viewers watching their TV show and

00:06:05.740 --> 00:06:07.459
they get millions of dollars. Well, maybe they

00:06:07.459 --> 00:06:09.639
should be talking about oil changes and then

00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:10.959
they'll get their views. Maybe they should just

00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.319
come to growth mode content. But, you know, like

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.800
I said, it's just it's cool. It's it's nice to

00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.319
see the strategy work. And the other part about

00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.000
that is, you know, one of the reasons that we

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.959
do Good News York is not just to share the good

00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.360
news of everything cool that's happening, but

00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.279
also be able to highlight our friends and colleagues

00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.579
in business. And that's what happened here. Our

00:06:33.579 --> 00:06:36.459
buddy Dan, his business with The Garage at 3100

00:06:36.459 --> 00:06:38.500
got, and this is the stat that I like, so we

00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:40.040
talk about those views, you know, that hundred

00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.939
and... 21 ,000 views. Let me tell you exactly

00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:46.779
how that works out, though, in amount of time,

00:06:46.819 --> 00:06:48.540
because I think this is a cool stat that they

00:06:48.540 --> 00:06:56.620
track. Total play time, 878 hours. Oh, yeah.

00:06:56.699 --> 00:07:00.480
In 31 minutes. I divided that by 24 hours. That's

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:05.420
over a month of continuous watch. So Dan at the

00:07:05.420 --> 00:07:12.569
Garage at 3100 got a month. of continuous view

00:07:12.569 --> 00:07:15.029
time of people with eyes on him and his business

00:07:15.029 --> 00:07:18.550
and talking about his expertise. In hours. In

00:07:18.550 --> 00:07:20.990
days, I guess. That's crazy. What would you pay

00:07:20.990 --> 00:07:22.670
to get that from a billboard? What would you

00:07:22.670 --> 00:07:24.930
pay to get that from a radio ad? I don't know.

00:07:24.970 --> 00:07:27.670
What would you pay to even get that many eyeballs

00:07:27.670 --> 00:07:31.949
on a promoted Facebook ad? You would spend more

00:07:31.949 --> 00:07:34.350
than our clients spend in a month with us to

00:07:34.350 --> 00:07:37.490
do this every day. Yes. I didn't mean to turn

00:07:37.490 --> 00:07:39.990
this into a commercial. No! It blows my mind

00:07:39.990 --> 00:07:42.290
because this is literally like, this is why you

00:07:42.290 --> 00:07:44.189
fellas are here. This is how we're able to pay

00:07:44.189 --> 00:07:48.750
you, and we're watching the formula work. Awesome.

00:07:49.069 --> 00:07:51.610
Well, you're leading the charge, man. We're going

00:07:51.610 --> 00:07:53.269
to eat some chicken wings. We're going to eat

00:07:53.269 --> 00:07:55.250
some chicken wings today. That's the best part.

00:07:55.370 --> 00:07:58.829
You ready for some news? Yes. Tuesday Newsday.

00:07:59.209 --> 00:08:01.389
All right, Tuesday Newsday. I'm kicking it off

00:08:01.389 --> 00:08:04.050
here with a story that's going to hit very close

00:08:04.050 --> 00:08:06.329
to home for you and I. We've discussed this at

00:08:06.329 --> 00:08:10.220
length. New York is considering four -day workweek

00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:13.360
pilot programs. I fucking love this. And when

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.680
we say New York, we're talking about the state?

00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.660
We're talking about employees? Yeah. So two bills

00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:20.439
are being introduced for four -day workweek pilot

00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.300
programs in New York State. The bills were introduced

00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:27.480
by Assemblymember Farah Soufrant -Forest. If

00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.779
passed, New York would be one step closer to

00:08:29.779 --> 00:08:33.059
a 32 -hour workweek. Now... Let me pause for

00:08:33.059 --> 00:08:35.659
groans from the bootstrap crowd. Nobody wants

00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:40.519
to work anymore. Okay. What we know is that Farah

00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.179
Forrest, representative of the 57th Assembly

00:08:42.179 --> 00:08:44.240
District in Brooklyn, has introduced two pilot

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.519
programs at reducing the five -day work week.

00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.019
One pilot program would establish a four -day

00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:50.720
work week for state employees, and the other

00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.600
will offer tax incentives to private employees

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:58.440
to run the pilot. Both bills... That's what I

00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.820
was going to say. Do you get pro -rated? They

00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:02.919
were introduced in February, and they are currently

00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.740
in the committee stage of the legislative process.

00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.120
I could go on to more details, but you get the

00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:11.840
gist, and I want to talk about that. Yeah, that

00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:13.299
sounds like exactly something that should have

00:09:13.299 --> 00:09:15.279
been included in the budget, rather than banning

00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.639
cell phones. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Well,

00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.419
nobody knows that this is happening, because

00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:22.519
the kids don't know, because they can't use their

00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:25.679
phones. But let's talk about this real quick,

00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.820
because... You have adopted this four -day work

00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:31.679
as always you're ahead of the career and in full

00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:33.340
disclosure not a hundred percent, right? There's

00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:35.200
a number of our employees that do work five days.

00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.600
Yes. I'm sorry schedules, but it's sort of position

00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.120
Dependent sure But we try to do that as much

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.500
as possible There are some there are some industries

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:48.279
in some jobs where you cannot afford literally

00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.100
to to to only work four days That's understand.

00:09:51.340 --> 00:09:53.690
Yeah, there's certain things that it can't be

00:09:53.690 --> 00:09:55.610
done. But there are many positions where it can

00:09:55.610 --> 00:09:57.350
be done. Well, and let me give you a breakdown

00:09:57.350 --> 00:09:59.549
of how it happens and kind of why we have that

00:09:59.549 --> 00:10:02.350
difference, just so folks understand. So a primary

00:10:02.350 --> 00:10:04.789
business at Growth Mode Technologies is IT support.

00:10:05.350 --> 00:10:07.850
That means when somebody needs something, we

00:10:07.850 --> 00:10:09.669
need to be there like the fire department. Absolutely.

00:10:10.149 --> 00:10:13.610
So we have to have people around the clock five

00:10:13.610 --> 00:10:16.409
days a week. But what we're able to do, because

00:10:16.409 --> 00:10:19.149
we have enough people on our team, is our IT

00:10:19.149 --> 00:10:23.120
teams working in alternating four -day schedules.

00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:25.820
So some people have Monday off, some people have

00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:28.779
Friday off, but the company and our clients always

00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:32.539
have a full week of coverage in both situations.

00:10:33.940 --> 00:10:37.860
You guys here at Growth Mode Content, what we

00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:39.639
were able to do with that, because we were able

00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.019
to launch it from the jump, we don't have support,

00:10:42.059 --> 00:10:45.740
we don't have to be on call for clients, so that

00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:48.580
was very easy to make these positions immediately

00:10:48.580 --> 00:10:51.690
four days. And eventually, as the company grows,

00:10:52.409 --> 00:10:55.769
really, only a couple people don't have that

00:10:55.769 --> 00:11:00.269
schedule, one of which is our new executive assistant

00:11:00.269 --> 00:11:04.330
that just stepped out. But as we grow, we'll

00:11:04.330 --> 00:11:06.730
get more of that type of position and allow them

00:11:06.730 --> 00:11:10.210
to go to that alternating four -day. But it's

00:11:10.210 --> 00:11:12.289
just a better thing. And as a business, we have

00:11:12.289 --> 00:11:15.049
a client. One of our largest clients actually

00:11:15.049 --> 00:11:17.269
shifted their whole business schedule, so they're

00:11:17.269 --> 00:11:20.610
closed on Fridays. And if companies can do that,

00:11:20.789 --> 00:11:22.850
it's great. Let me tell you something. The reason

00:11:22.850 --> 00:11:25.110
I'm so excited about this, and we've talked about

00:11:25.110 --> 00:11:28.789
this, first of all, the amount of moans and groans

00:11:28.789 --> 00:11:30.769
I get from friends and family that are like,

00:11:30.889 --> 00:11:33.490
oh, it's Thursday. That's your Friday. Must be

00:11:33.490 --> 00:11:35.669
nice. And I said, hold on. I've worked my entire

00:11:35.669 --> 00:11:38.750
life in shitty jobs, five, six, seven days a

00:11:38.750 --> 00:11:40.289
week. But I'm not going to go down that road.

00:11:40.870 --> 00:11:44.809
But the point is, when I - Can I just say, and

00:11:44.809 --> 00:11:47.120
I'm sorry, I'm mean to interrupt you. No. My

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.779
most favorite thing in the world that does not

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:53.980
happen to me enough is people saying, must be

00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:57.639
nice. I love that. Because I fucking embrace

00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:00.059
it. Okay, maybe I should. Oh, it must be nice

00:12:00.059 --> 00:12:02.379
to have Fridays off. Yes, it is. Oh, it is. Oh,

00:12:02.379 --> 00:12:04.899
man, it is incredible. Yeah. It's great. I get

00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:06.659
long weekends. I get to spend time with the kids.

00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:09.200
Like, fucking lean into it. Okay. Thank you.

00:12:09.340 --> 00:12:11.720
People are trying to shame you with positive

00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.360
things. It works. I feel guilty after. Yeah,

00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.480
you shouldn't. Well, I love you. It's great.

00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.799
It is great. It must be nice to have a dollar

00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:23.779
to buy pizza. It is. Pizza's so fucking good.

00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.159
It must be nice to have it riding more. I fucking

00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.279
love it. Absolutely. It goes deeper for me, though,

00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.320
because in my last semester at college, I had

00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.399
to find three more credits. And so my advisor

00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.700
goes, well, just think I couldn't find anything.

00:12:38.940 --> 00:12:41.200
What was a class or professor you liked and I

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.259
particularly loved my sociology professor from

00:12:43.259 --> 00:12:45.759
the first man she goes Well, he's got like a

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.879
300 level sociology course called work and family.

00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.879
So I took it and and the whole Thing was where

00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:55.700
we studied the workforce in other countries Oh

00:12:55.700 --> 00:12:58.879
Wow compared to ours and so in Italy and other

00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.320
Europe in European countries They have four -day

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.639
work weeks and they're interviewing these people

00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.799
from these factories and from all these different

00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.159
industries and they're saying so you pay your

00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.690
employees for way more than minimum wage, you

00:13:10.690 --> 00:13:13.649
give them three weeks vacation or four weeks

00:13:13.649 --> 00:13:15.750
vacation a year, and they only work four days

00:13:15.750 --> 00:13:18.029
a week. Doesn't that hurt your production? Don't

00:13:18.029 --> 00:13:20.909
you find that they're slacking? And they all

00:13:20.909 --> 00:13:23.470
looked at them and immediately shut it right

00:13:23.470 --> 00:13:25.889
down and said, no, it's the opposite. And this

00:13:25.889 --> 00:13:28.350
is why I truly believe here in the United States

00:13:28.350 --> 00:13:30.429
we do have to adopt this eventually, because

00:13:30.429 --> 00:13:34.049
the whole idea is if you're paying people enough

00:13:34.049 --> 00:13:36.870
to where they can afford to live, if they can

00:13:36.870 --> 00:13:39.340
afford to take care of them, when they are sick.

00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:42.440
And if they have time to spend with their families,

00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:44.659
they're going to be happier, healthier, they

00:13:44.659 --> 00:13:47.879
will be more loyal, and stay longer. And therefore,

00:13:48.059 --> 00:13:50.879
overall, everybody wins. You're getting the best

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:52.919
out of your employees, which increases production.

00:13:52.980 --> 00:13:54.840
And I don't know why we can't wrap our fucking

00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.419
heads around this. It's that old school mantra.

00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:00.080
What you need to understand is the United States

00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.419
is a corporation that masquerades as a country.

00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:08.480
Everything in our existence is programmed to

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.980
be workers. You know that George Carlin bit?

00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:16.620
Yes. To be obedient workers. Yes. That is our

00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:19.080
purpose. That is why, unfortunately, we have

00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.240
a societal thing where you were defined by your

00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.620
job. Correct. They go, hey, how are you? What's

00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:27.299
your name? What do you do? That's right. Right?

00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.299
That doesn't happen in these other places because

00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:33.279
they get that. And what's wild is when you have

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.730
that mindset, you think that if... You're not

00:14:35.730 --> 00:14:39.610
putting in 60 hours a week. You're lazy and you're

00:14:39.610 --> 00:14:43.570
a bum and you're no good, right? It's ridiculous.

00:14:44.110 --> 00:14:46.929
We have to break that mindset. Coming out of

00:14:46.929 --> 00:14:48.710
that, let's look at some facts, right? You studied

00:14:48.710 --> 00:14:50.169
this in school. You can probably tell me this

00:14:50.169 --> 00:14:52.309
a little better. Facts. What does the data say

00:14:52.309 --> 00:14:54.149
about productivity in a four -day work week,

00:14:54.289 --> 00:14:57.309
Mike? You actually can look it up through Google

00:14:57.309 --> 00:14:59.860
and find that out. Off the top of my head, I

00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:03.519
don't know how, but just figure it out. The productivity,

00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.240
I don't remember the number, but it is... I don't

00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.259
want to say skyrockets, but the productivity

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:13.460
is way more than what we have. So you don't lose

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:15.740
productivity? Not even close. So you work 20

00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:18.879
% less and the company doesn't get less done,

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:22.139
Mike? That's correct, Matthew. And here's the

00:15:22.139 --> 00:15:24.360
other part of it. And I'm being serious. Think

00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.220
back to like my grandfather. Okay, I never met

00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:29.000
him. He died before I was alive. Why did he die?

00:15:29.059 --> 00:15:31.379
Because he worked too fucking much. Yeah. But

00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:34.580
the other part of that is, you know, there's

00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:37.639
a lot of... baby boomers who are a little rough,

00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.480
a little angry, a little bitter with that mindset

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.000
because when they were growing up, dad was never

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.419
around because he worked all the time. The point

00:15:45.419 --> 00:15:48.639
is, it's more than just having an extra day off.

00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:49.779
And ironically, they still feel like that's the

00:15:49.779 --> 00:15:52.179
way it's supposed to be. That's my biggest frustration

00:15:52.179 --> 00:15:54.379
with those folks. The irony is that it's the

00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:56.120
opposite of what they're thinking. Nobody likes

00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.779
to work anymore. No, because guess what? Not

00:15:58.779 --> 00:16:01.080
only are you going to feel better because, you

00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:02.799
know, you're refreshed, you're making enough

00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:05.360
money, right? you're going to have a better home

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:07.820
life because you're going to be with your family

00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:09.860
more. You're going to be less angry. It's just

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:11.620
there's so much to it. I'll tell you one of the

00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:14.480
reasons that that I did it to begin with with

00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.519
my IT company and did it with our very first

00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:21.000
IT employee was because the burnout rate in IT

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:25.100
is incredibly hard. It's a stressful job where

00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:27.200
people only come to you when there's something

00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.860
wrong and they're mad at you. It's your fault.

00:16:30.990 --> 00:16:33.549
Even if you had never been there before, it's

00:16:33.549 --> 00:16:37.529
your fault. It's very stressful and people get

00:16:37.529 --> 00:16:40.230
burned out easy. And by having one less day a

00:16:40.230 --> 00:16:45.230
week of that, the career lifespan just becomes

00:16:45.230 --> 00:16:48.289
exponentially longer. And as a company, we get

00:16:48.289 --> 00:16:51.629
better people who aren't burned out and miserable

00:16:51.629 --> 00:16:53.409
and ready to leave a year before they actually

00:16:53.409 --> 00:16:56.710
do leave. You nailed it. And I dare say we reframe

00:16:56.710 --> 00:17:01.460
it as, it's not one day less work. It's one day

00:17:01.460 --> 00:17:06.839
more, one day more of a quality of life. One

00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.180
extra day with your family. One extra day to

00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:11.940
refresh. And here's what's interesting. The other

00:17:11.940 --> 00:17:13.700
thing that we do here that's a little unique

00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:18.559
is you guys will technically have a paid lunch.

00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:23.180
What? So, yeah. What the fuck, man? You get paid,

00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.519
Mike doesn't even look at his paycheck. I don't

00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:28.119
know. I don't. I love this job. You get paid

00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:32.009
four nine hour days. Which makes up 36 hours.

00:17:32.009 --> 00:17:34.250
So it's a hair under 40. Okay, but that's the

00:17:34.250 --> 00:17:37.769
thing to keep in mind slacker in four days You

00:17:37.769 --> 00:17:42.829
get 36 hours So even the most, you know Arden

00:17:42.829 --> 00:17:45.609
Full -time 40 -hour work with you're technically

00:17:45.609 --> 00:17:48.390
working four hours less than the average worker,

00:17:48.410 --> 00:17:50.950
but that gets you an entire day Exactly, you

00:17:50.950 --> 00:17:53.430
know exactly and again one of the reasons that

00:17:53.430 --> 00:17:55.190
it comes out to that number a lot of companies

00:17:55.190 --> 00:17:58.549
will pay you for 32 hours And that's your full

00:17:58.549 --> 00:18:02.339
week because you don't get a paid lunch, we include

00:18:02.339 --> 00:18:04.619
that lunch. So that's the big difference, that's

00:18:04.619 --> 00:18:08.099
how we get to 36. But again, the point is, even

00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:09.319
when you think about it, you look at the math

00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:11.660
and it's technically a four hour difference,

00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.400
you know? Do people really imagine that that

00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:18.700
much additional productivity would occur in four

00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:20.579
hours? You would know more than me, but I mean,

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:23.339
it's... How many hours do you stand around the...

00:18:23.339 --> 00:18:25.119
They make you come back to the office now. How

00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.099
many hours at the office do you stand around

00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:31.029
the... the water cooler. Yeah, right. And check

00:18:31.029 --> 00:18:33.329
your Facebook. How many how many of those four

00:18:33.329 --> 00:18:36.170
hours are quality hours? Right. You know, and

00:18:36.170 --> 00:18:38.869
look, it you're right. I'm going to embrace it

00:18:38.869 --> 00:18:40.690
because it's like, oh, yeah, we can go on. Yeah,

00:18:40.690 --> 00:18:43.309
I do. And you should too. Yeah. And sorry, you

00:18:43.309 --> 00:18:44.930
don't. Like I said, we can go on and on about

00:18:44.930 --> 00:18:47.150
it. But the reality is don't take our word for

00:18:47.150 --> 00:18:48.849
it. Just look at the data. Just look at the data.

00:18:49.269 --> 00:18:52.630
Well, you know, facts don't matter about my feelings.

00:18:52.789 --> 00:18:56.190
Anyway, here's one for you. Speaking of which,

00:18:56.549 --> 00:19:00.200
a change. to a certain law is going to be going

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.039
into effect. For decades, New York's child labor

00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.640
laws allowed kids as young as 11 to legally partake

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.500
in the time -honored tradition of a paper route,

00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.539
but they are now going to change the minimum

00:19:12.539 --> 00:19:16.180
age to 14. The move was first reported by Politico,

00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.819
and the change comes even though paper boys and

00:19:19.819 --> 00:19:22.240
girls have mostly gone the way of phone booths.

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.240
I'm so glad for this. I am too. I wish they would

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.559
also lower the age of Milkman. Because, you know,

00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.400
this is a problem that just, you know, needs

00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:38.319
to be addressed. It really does. I think... Look,

00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.960
I think... I'm sorry. Who the fuck even proposed

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.500
this? I don't. Seriously, like, who is some sort

00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:46.259
of legislator who's sitting around and is like,

00:19:46.579 --> 00:19:49.059
you know what we should spend half a second on?

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:54.160
Writing legislation about paperboys. I know.

00:19:54.380 --> 00:19:56.099
It was my first job. You can read about that

00:19:56.099 --> 00:19:58.799
in the paper. Oh, wait, they don't exist. Right.

00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.019
What the fuck? Why are we changing it now? Why

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:04.099
don't we write laws about horses and buggies?

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:07.900
Yeah, right. Yeah. Are we like, is this Bizarro

00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:10.700
land? I don't know. I just thought it was wild

00:20:10.700 --> 00:20:14.000
that we're changing the labor law for an outdated

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:18.880
position. Why? I don't know. But here's what

00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:24.809
I do now. Did Big Paper lobby for this? I don't

00:20:24.809 --> 00:20:29.670
know. Kids are... I don't know. Your first job

00:20:29.670 --> 00:20:31.450
was McDonald's, right? Yeah. See, when I was

00:20:31.450 --> 00:20:32.970
growing up, it was like your first job was either

00:20:32.970 --> 00:20:35.069
McDonald's or Paperboy in the Mohawk Valley.

00:20:35.269 --> 00:20:37.589
I was a Paperboy. And it was exciting because

00:20:37.589 --> 00:20:39.880
of the video game Paperboy. Yeah, but did you

00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:42.460
actually ride and throw it? No! That was the

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:44.799
best game. That was the thing that really upset

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.920
me. I got all excited. I got my first job. I'm

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:50.920
gonna be a paperboy. I loved the video game Paperboy.

00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:52.619
I'm thinking, this is gonna be awesome. It's

00:20:52.619 --> 00:20:54.220
gonna be like the movies. I'm gonna pedal. I'm

00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:56.640
gonna throw it, and the sprinkler's gonna go

00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.900
off, and you know, the whole thing. Yeah. The

00:20:58.900 --> 00:21:00.779
first day I'm loading up my papers, they're like,

00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:03.039
you gotta load up all your papers, fold them,

00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:05.099
rubber band them, put them in your bag, and don't

00:21:05.099 --> 00:21:06.900
throw them. You gotta walk up to the mailbox.

00:21:07.099 --> 00:21:10.259
I'm like, well, this... This sucks. The whole

00:21:10.259 --> 00:21:12.299
allure to me was chucking it. This is not what

00:21:12.299 --> 00:21:14.279
I was sold. This is not what I signed up for.

00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.880
And I was also, I think, 11. Yeah. But I'd have

00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.579
to be 14. I have a serious question. Can you

00:21:20.579 --> 00:21:25.059
still get a paper newspaper in Syracuse? I know

00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:26.720
they cut the daily. Do they still do the Sunday

00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.039
paper? OK, you still can get one. OK. All right.

00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:33.480
I mean, you can get the New York Times, the Washington...

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:35.240
Like, they can send it to your cost of arm and

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.019
a leg. And why would you do this? Some people

00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:41.079
just like the feel of holding a paper, you know,

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.160
I don't know. I mean, my kids have pet guinea

00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.140
pigs, but we just buy the bedding now. Okay.

00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:48.559
You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, right, right,

00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:50.559
right. We don't need somebody to deliver their

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:55.579
trash to us. I mean, look, strange times, man.

00:21:55.900 --> 00:21:59.019
People read the news. Like, literally the second...

00:21:59.019 --> 00:22:02.190
It pops up on your fucking arm. I mean... You're

00:22:02.190 --> 00:22:03.569
going to wait until they print it on a sheet

00:22:03.569 --> 00:22:05.170
of paper? The only reason I like to read the

00:22:05.170 --> 00:22:07.130
news is so that - And have a 10 -year -old walk

00:22:07.130 --> 00:22:10.609
it to your door? It's like, what are we? What?

00:22:11.170 --> 00:22:14.730
I'm sorry. I like to read the newspapers just

00:22:14.730 --> 00:22:17.430
so I can lower it and give a look to my son with

00:22:17.430 --> 00:22:20.950
my glasses on my nose like, son, you know better.

00:22:22.309 --> 00:22:26.410
Hey, David Muir and Bob Iger were at the Ithaca

00:22:26.410 --> 00:22:28.509
College commencement ceremony this past weekend.

00:22:28.549 --> 00:22:30.470
Not sure if you know, but they're both Ithaca

00:22:30.470 --> 00:22:35.049
College grads. David Muir is from ABC News. He

00:22:35.049 --> 00:22:36.829
famously lives in a mansion in Skinny Atlas.

00:22:37.009 --> 00:22:41.589
Yes, he does. And Eiger, who earned his degree

00:22:41.589 --> 00:22:44.069
in 73, is the chairman and chief executive officer

00:22:44.069 --> 00:22:47.230
of the Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC and

00:22:47.230 --> 00:22:50.619
ESPN. Yeah. You all grew up with Disney as part

00:22:50.619 --> 00:22:52.500
of the culture, and your parents did, and your

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:54.539
grandparents did, Muir said. They spoke at the

00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:56.480
graduation? They spoke at the graduation. Both

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:57.759
of them? Yeah, well, Iger... Did they get two

00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:01.660
speakers? Well, Iger was the scheduled guest,

00:23:01.819 --> 00:23:03.640
and then David Muir made an exception. Oh, he

00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:06.740
had a cameo? Yeah. He, like, crashed the graduation.

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:09.920
He crashed the graduation, and I will say...

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:13.019
Breaking news. Breaking news. I'm a celebrity

00:23:13.019 --> 00:23:14.460
and should be allowed to speak as well. Well,

00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:17.839
yes. Move over, Iger. I think they kind of step

00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:20.640
aside richest man on the planet. Yeah. Yeah.

00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:24.220
Well also you got to remember David Muir is Eiger's

00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:26.619
employee because you know Disney owns ABC Oh

00:23:26.619 --> 00:23:29.180
shit and ESPN now, so I think it was it like

00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:31.700
a type man I think so was Eiger worried that

00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:33.279
like he wasn't gonna do well and yeah to bring

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:35.700
a ringer Yeah, and David Muir wore a big clock

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:38.000
like Flava Flav really. Yeah. No, I'm kidding,

00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.319
but you said he was hype man But you know what

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.319

to him. He was just, like, doing his thing, and

00:25:49.549 --> 00:25:51.890
bro, like... Well, you saw him go, like... Like,

00:25:51.890 --> 00:25:53.450
he thought he was joking at first, then you see

00:25:53.450 --> 00:25:56.069
his face go, like, oh, wait, this is... this

00:25:56.069 --> 00:25:57.809
is real. All right, this is... I'll tell you

00:25:57.809 --> 00:25:59.609
a quick story. This happened... Something similar

00:25:59.609 --> 00:26:03.210
like this happened to me at Brownies and Herkimer.

00:26:03.630 --> 00:26:05.990
Brownies? Shout out, my home... Dude, and this

00:26:05.990 --> 00:26:09.849
was towards the end. I was there, uh, with, like,

00:26:09.950 --> 00:26:13.049
my girlfriend and my buddy at, like... like happy

00:26:13.049 --> 00:26:14.650
hour time, not late at night or something. We're

00:26:14.650 --> 00:26:17.349
standing there having a drink, and there's not

00:26:17.349 --> 00:26:19.809
many people in the bar, and I order a LeBat's

00:26:19.809 --> 00:26:24.150
Blue. And this dude who I don't know in the bar

00:26:24.150 --> 00:26:28.049
who was hammer drunk walks over and takes my

00:26:28.049 --> 00:26:32.230
beer. Why don't you order an American beer? Oh,

00:26:32.230 --> 00:26:38.509
wow. And we're all like, the fuck? And it was

00:26:38.509 --> 00:26:40.950
very similar, just this random weirdo out of

00:26:40.950 --> 00:26:43.650
nowhere. Going off on me. He thought he was joking.

00:26:43.809 --> 00:26:46.390
Yeah, and he was like, posting up like he wanted

00:26:46.390 --> 00:26:49.630
to take a swing on us. And luckily, he wasn't

00:26:49.630 --> 00:26:52.069
that drunk. And I think when me and my buddy

00:26:52.069 --> 00:26:56.490
looked down at him, we finally realized maybe

00:26:56.490 --> 00:26:59.109
he should fucking chill out. But no, it was a

00:26:59.109 --> 00:27:00.529
wild time. But it was one of those, like I said,

00:27:00.650 --> 00:27:02.549
just out of the blue, here's a guy. Just look

00:27:02.549 --> 00:27:04.470
at his face. Nine -year -old business. And he's

00:27:04.470 --> 00:27:08.150
just fucking, you did something. Don't order

00:27:08.150 --> 00:27:11.369
that Canadian shit. Literally. I was like, what?

00:27:12.029 --> 00:27:13.809
I remember looking at the barmaid and going,

00:27:14.670 --> 00:27:19.170
is this guy kidding? Good times. Good times.

00:27:19.369 --> 00:27:21.029
Anyway. But anyway, so there's a little bit of

00:27:21.029 --> 00:27:23.170
news for you. We've got Brian Ink coming up.

00:27:23.410 --> 00:27:26.329
Let's take a break, get the man a chair, and

00:27:26.329 --> 00:27:30.089
come back with one of the funniest guys in Syracuse.

00:27:30.190 --> 00:27:34.230
Let's do it. Who's done our show? And we're back.

00:27:34.630 --> 00:27:38.049
We are. Welcome back to Good News York. We've

00:27:38.049 --> 00:27:41.480
brought in. a returning champion. Is this three?

00:27:41.500 --> 00:27:44.180
I think this is, he's now, we've had a couple

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:48.960
of two visit, but it is the third time. He's

00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.960
our most, should we do like a five timers club

00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:55.680
like the SNL does at some point? No, it just

00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:57.880
sounds like I have nothing else to do for going

00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:02.000
on. He keeps coming around. Which by the way,

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:04.819
and I'm so glad, I'm gonna just throw this on

00:28:04.819 --> 00:28:07.910
you right now. We found out that you came here

00:28:07.910 --> 00:28:10.150
on the wrong day. Don't say my name through this

00:28:10.150 --> 00:28:15.390
entire clip. Paul. Yeah. You came here the other

00:28:15.390 --> 00:28:18.970
day. Like, we got done shooting and Amanda goes,

00:28:19.349 --> 00:28:21.410
oh, hey, Brian, stop by. He thought he was on

00:28:21.410 --> 00:28:23.609
today. And we're like, what? Why didn't you could

00:28:23.609 --> 00:28:25.930
have stayed? You could have came on. I know.

00:28:26.549 --> 00:28:29.289
I had that. I had the day. I had the day wrong.

00:28:29.849 --> 00:28:32.529
And go figure. The first time I was here, I was

00:28:32.529 --> 00:28:34.910
an hour late. Second time. Yeah. You made up

00:28:34.910 --> 00:28:37.410
for it. made up for it by coming a week early.

00:28:38.089 --> 00:28:40.509
Yes, and you're wearing a Yankee hat. Comedian

00:28:40.509 --> 00:28:44.230
Brian Ink, he is the man. Last time we were here,

00:28:44.529 --> 00:28:47.089
we were talking about him shooting a comedy special

00:28:47.089 --> 00:28:49.609
here in Syracuse, which still to me is just an

00:28:49.609 --> 00:28:51.109
awesome concept. You know, I'm somebody who grew

00:28:51.109 --> 00:28:53.950
up watching these HBO specials with the biggest

00:28:53.950 --> 00:28:57.670
names and... And to see it, we were there. I

00:28:57.670 --> 00:28:59.930
went to one of the tapings, I guess you would

00:28:59.930 --> 00:29:04.529
say. You went to the drunk taping. Great comedy

00:29:04.529 --> 00:29:07.609
show, first of all. And just also just to see

00:29:07.609 --> 00:29:09.369
the whole thing, how it worked. You had a professional.

00:29:09.470 --> 00:29:12.890
This wasn't like my buddy in the back with his

00:29:12.890 --> 00:29:16.930
handy cam. You had a legit production crew. Tell

00:29:16.930 --> 00:29:19.109
us a little bit about how it went and how you're

00:29:19.109 --> 00:29:22.630
feeling about it. It was great. Thanks for coming.

00:29:23.329 --> 00:29:25.609
And thank you guys for helping me promote it.

00:29:26.410 --> 00:29:28.750
We got a lot of butts in seats because of your

00:29:28.750 --> 00:29:30.930
viewership. So thanks, everybody who came out.

00:29:30.930 --> 00:29:32.869
Which one's my camera? Thank you guys so much.

00:29:32.869 --> 00:29:35.650
We'll get you on all of them. It's the top cam.

00:29:36.630 --> 00:29:39.509
But yeah, it went really well. We did two tapings.

00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:43.539
and I'll hit the highlights. First one, pretty

00:29:43.539 --> 00:29:46.440
standard, went through pretty good, good audience.

00:29:46.619 --> 00:29:48.640
I'd say if I had to describe them, they might

00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.640
have been a little bit tighter, which was fine.

00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.740
But also, there was just a lot of funny stuff

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:59.240
that happened. Like one was, and it was not their

00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:01.319
fault at all, Katie and Abdul, who were the host

00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:04.529
and the feature. there was this weird sound thing

00:30:04.529 --> 00:30:06.710
where they were over in a corner talking, but

00:30:06.710 --> 00:30:09.670
the sound carried, and it like went right to

00:30:09.670 --> 00:30:12.509
me. And I could hear their conversation weirdly,

00:30:12.609 --> 00:30:15.369
and I couldn't be like, hey guys, shut up, because

00:30:15.369 --> 00:30:17.670
people would think I'm crazy. So I had to kind

00:30:17.670 --> 00:30:19.609
of just keep going with hearing it. And I told

00:30:19.609 --> 00:30:21.789
them in the second show, they were very apologetic,

00:30:21.869 --> 00:30:23.750
they had no reason to be. But then there was

00:30:23.750 --> 00:30:28.630
like weird stuff like, there was a swing dance

00:30:28.630 --> 00:30:32.799
class above. because we're in this basement space,

00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:39.279
and so I can hear the... swinging, and it just,

00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:41.180
that was really funny. But again, I didn't address

00:30:41.180 --> 00:30:43.019
it because I'm like, maybe it's just me that

00:30:43.019 --> 00:30:45.759
can only hear this. People do that? Yeah. Oh,

00:30:45.900 --> 00:30:48.099
yeah. No, there's swingers everywhere. There

00:30:48.099 --> 00:30:51.200
sure is. Go on. Just got to watch which one of

00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:53.380
those websites you go to. If they have a pineapple

00:30:53.380 --> 00:30:55.759
in their house, that means that they are swingers

00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:57.599
and they want to dance with you. Yeah, if you

00:30:57.599 --> 00:30:59.940
see a pineapple symbol. They want to dance. They

00:30:59.940 --> 00:31:03.140
want to dance. That's it. Also, side note, when

00:31:03.140 --> 00:31:05.980
I was managing a music venue a few years back,

00:31:06.579 --> 00:31:08.980
they had swing dance nights. And I'm telling

00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:11.460
you, these people would show up and show out,

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:12.859
and they would take it very slow. I didn't mean

00:31:12.859 --> 00:31:14.180
to go off on this tangent, but that actually

00:31:14.180 --> 00:31:17.000
makes me happy. I think it's a cool genre, and

00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:19.539
I feel like it deserved more love than it got

00:31:19.539 --> 00:31:21.940
in the 90s when it was trying to tape a comedy

00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:23.839
show. Yeah, it's not great for one year. At least

00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:25.619
they weren't Irish stompers. That would have

00:31:25.619 --> 00:31:28.440
been... That would have been Riverdance. Yeah,

00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:32.839
exactly. So that was fun. First taping goes well.

00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:35.619
We had some video tech issues, as you do, but

00:31:35.619 --> 00:31:38.400
that's why you have two tapings. And then the

00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:42.519
second one was everybody leaves. I kind of say

00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:44.160
thank you quickly, but it's a quick turnover,

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:49.220
so we're getting ready. And I met my lovely wife

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:51.960
upstairs, Jamaica Cuse, who's going to plug right

00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:54.140
now. They were kind of our restaurant lobby area.

00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:59.359
They were great. And so I go up and see my wife

00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:01.440
up there. Her cousins had come to visit for the

00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:03.519
special. And it's like, I think the show starts

00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:06.240
at nine. It was like 850, and there was no one

00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.859
downstairs. And so in my head, I was like, oh,

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:10.980
it's just gonna be my wife and her cousins. And

00:32:10.980 --> 00:32:13.519
that's gonna be really kind of embarrassing.

00:32:13.660 --> 00:32:15.740
I'm gonna feel bad about this. And I was like,

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:17.000
hey, I think it's just gonna be you guys. And

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:19.339
she goes, oh no, everyone's trying to find parking.

00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:20.859
I was like, who? Who are these people that are

00:32:20.859 --> 00:32:23.799
just? And she goes, well, you know, because Cher.

00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:26.619
And I was like, what does Cher have to do with

00:32:26.619 --> 00:32:28.940
anything about what's going on right now? You

00:32:28.940 --> 00:32:30.700
know, because if you could turn back time. If

00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:34.400
I could, yeah. I don't know. And so the Cher

00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:37.839
musical was in town on that night. Across the

00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:41.599
street. Literally. And so every parking spot

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:44.420
had a retirement card on it and was just all

00:32:44.420 --> 00:32:47.160
these blue -haired old ladies are trying to find

00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:49.220
parking. They're taking up three spaces with

00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:53.319
their giant Buicks. And we just, so everyone

00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:55.279
was, and then sure enough, like a little bit

00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:57.599
late, just a group of 10, a group of 12, and

00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.380
we filled up the same size that, I think we had

00:33:00.380 --> 00:33:03.500
60 people at each show, which was great. And

00:33:03.500 --> 00:33:05.799
it was super fun. It was definitely the drunker

00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:09.549
audience, which was also very funny. In particular,

00:33:09.990 --> 00:33:12.250
I have some friends who I played disc golf with,

00:33:12.349 --> 00:33:16.349
and I love them. And they came in, and they were

00:33:16.349 --> 00:33:18.750
like, hey, man, we just came from the bar. And

00:33:18.750 --> 00:33:21.430
he did a Manhattan, like, a shot, because we

00:33:21.430 --> 00:33:23.650
didn't want to be late. And I was like, oh, no.

00:33:24.569 --> 00:33:26.930
And they were so great. But there's also this

00:33:26.930 --> 00:33:31.680
very sweet moment where. There's a couple, and

00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:34.039
I play disc golf with them, and they're an interracial

00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:35.920
couple. I do an interracial bit. And usually

00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:37.980
I go, anyone doing interracial relationships?

00:33:38.059 --> 00:33:39.900
And they'll be like, woo, or something like that.

00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:41.839
Kind of just like a flight woo. I go, anyone

00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:43.400
doing interracial? And in the back, they just

00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:48.400
go, woo! So you remember, I was like, oh, we

00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:52.470
can't use this take. But yeah, so it was very

00:33:52.470 --> 00:33:55.089
fun. It was nice to see a bit of a tighter and

00:33:55.089 --> 00:33:59.609
a very loose audience. And yeah. And then finish

00:33:59.609 --> 00:34:02.650
it up. What no one saw was after everything was

00:34:02.650 --> 00:34:05.890
said and done, it was like a Bruce Springsteen

00:34:05.890 --> 00:34:09.349
music video. I had to just put all the chairs

00:34:09.349 --> 00:34:11.309
back and all the, you know what I mean? It's

00:34:11.309 --> 00:34:13.130
this thing. I was like, I did it. And I was like.

00:34:13.420 --> 00:34:16.440
I got to clean up. Yeah. And so, yeah, it was

00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:17.980
a very fun experience right now. We're just going

00:34:17.980 --> 00:34:22.079
to start editing and put it together. But even

00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:24.079
the half hour that I have of just the wide, I

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:26.940
was like, I really like this. This is good. Good.

00:34:27.139 --> 00:34:29.320
Yeah. I mean, in general, it was a great set,

00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:31.179
I just want to say. Like, the material and everything,

00:34:31.300 --> 00:34:32.460
as much as we're talking about the production

00:34:32.460 --> 00:34:35.789
and all that, just the comedy. The most important

00:34:35.789 --> 00:34:37.989
part. Thanks. Well, we talked about it on the

00:34:37.989 --> 00:34:40.230
pod. We were like, when are you ready? When you

00:34:40.230 --> 00:34:44.429
know when it's time to do this material and do

00:34:44.429 --> 00:34:46.849
it. And it was just at that point, I think I'd

00:34:46.849 --> 00:34:50.190
done some of those jokes like two or three years.

00:34:50.369 --> 00:34:52.679
So it was actually one of those ones where. I

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:54.940
was kind of done doing them. And so I just kind

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:56.960
of got excited about them, did them with the

00:34:56.960 --> 00:35:00.059
most energy I could do them with. And now it's

00:35:00.059 --> 00:35:02.019
very funny going onto shows now and being like,

00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:04.800
I got nothing. Yeah, starting from scratch. A

00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:06.900
lot of crowd work. I'm glad that 9 o 'clock went

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:08.320
well for you, because I remember that was the

00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:11.280
one you were real worried about. Yeah. Because

00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:15.269
ticket sales -wise, it wasn't showing. Thanks,

00:35:15.429 --> 00:35:18.829
Cher. Stupid Cher. I got to thank the Funny Bone

00:35:18.829 --> 00:35:20.670
also, and Rob, the manager over there, he let

00:35:20.670 --> 00:35:22.929
me drop off, because I was doing shows the weekend

00:35:22.929 --> 00:35:28.329
before with Dan Porter, and they both let me

00:35:28.329 --> 00:35:30.809
drop off QR codes, and I mentioned them after

00:35:30.809 --> 00:35:32.349
my set, like, hey, if you enjoyed any of this,

00:35:32.530 --> 00:35:34.969
I'm taping. So that was a huge part. Chris Porter,

00:35:35.050 --> 00:35:37.550
I'm so sorry, Chris. I love you. Chris, we love

00:35:37.550 --> 00:35:39.550
you. You won't see this. Yeah, no one sees this,

00:35:39.710 --> 00:35:43.610
it's fine. So let me ask you this, and it sounds

00:35:43.610 --> 00:35:47.230
like a hack question, but it's not, because we're

00:35:47.230 --> 00:35:51.090
in a unique world now, where at the level that

00:35:51.090 --> 00:35:54.710
you are at, you can pretty much design and do

00:35:54.710 --> 00:35:57.920
your own special, which is amazing. What is like,

00:35:58.099 --> 00:35:59.400
is there one or two things that you're like,

00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:02.019
you know what, next time I do it, I am not doing

00:36:02.019 --> 00:36:05.119
this. Oh, that's a great question. I... For those

00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:07.159
other comedians listening. So if I were to do

00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:09.360
it again, and actually there's a couple comics

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:11.480
who are great, who kind of had great questions

00:36:11.480 --> 00:36:14.039
to ask. Bill Lake is one of them. He should definitely

00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:16.400
come on your pod sometime. Love Bill. He's working

00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:19.579
on his half hour, and he was kind of asking me,

00:36:19.619 --> 00:36:22.599
and I think if anyone was to do any taping, whether

00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.329
it be music or... stand up or anything like that,

00:36:25.550 --> 00:36:31.230
I would say an usher slash somebody to make sure

00:36:31.230 --> 00:36:35.050
that the show people are sitting and other stuff

00:36:35.050 --> 00:36:37.170
is getting done. Just overseeing the audience.

00:36:37.170 --> 00:36:39.730
An usher slash gopher. Not in a disrespectful

00:36:39.730 --> 00:36:42.150
way of like, but like I had run over to Funk

00:36:42.150 --> 00:36:44.389
and Waffles, thank you Funk and Waffles, because

00:36:44.389 --> 00:36:48.070
we had to get like four sound cords to connect

00:36:48.070 --> 00:36:50.409
and we just didn't have enough with where we

00:36:50.409 --> 00:36:53.079
had things set up. So. That would have been great

00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:55.619
to be able to do that. So I would definitely

00:36:55.619 --> 00:37:00.199
say an usher gopher. And then I would have done

00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:04.340
on our first visit, I would have done more testing

00:37:04.340 --> 00:37:07.039
of look and sound and stuff like that, because

00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:09.280
we kind of went into that. We knew what we wanted,

00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:12.900
but we went into it pretty blind. And that was

00:37:12.900 --> 00:37:16.300
pretty hard to kind of have them be like, OK,

00:37:16.340 --> 00:37:17.539
this is the first time we're looking at this

00:37:17.539 --> 00:37:21.510
set, and let's try to find spots to shoot. Definitely

00:37:21.510 --> 00:37:25.130
would have that, a clear shot list. But yeah,

00:37:25.230 --> 00:37:27.750
I think just the biggest one was to have somebody

00:37:27.750 --> 00:37:31.070
who could have run around to take care of things

00:37:31.070 --> 00:37:33.610
that I had to take care of. That you shouldn't

00:37:33.610 --> 00:37:35.349
have to. A production assistant or something.

00:37:35.630 --> 00:37:39.949
Yeah. And the other part of it, too, is there

00:37:39.949 --> 00:37:45.460
is a little bit of a. The professionalism gets

00:37:45.460 --> 00:37:49.380
taken down a little bit of being the headliner,

00:37:49.500 --> 00:37:52.739
the reason why people are there when you're moving

00:37:52.739 --> 00:37:55.159
seats and running up to grab their drinks and

00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:57.579
stuff like that. Just because I wanted to do

00:37:57.579 --> 00:38:00.880
that stuff so everyone was comfortable. But it

00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:03.739
definitely changes people subconsciously if the

00:38:03.739 --> 00:38:06.119
first time they see me is me coming onto stage

00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:08.480
versus me being like, OK, so it's two beers,

00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:11.309
and then I'll give you one more seat. Because

00:38:11.309 --> 00:38:13.050
when they're like, you're headlining, like, he

00:38:13.050 --> 00:38:15.369
just sat us. Why would I care about what he did?

00:38:15.369 --> 00:38:18.809
Right. Yeah. This is, I mean, it's, I went through

00:38:18.809 --> 00:38:21.809
the same stuff, well, in comedy, but in music

00:38:21.809 --> 00:38:25.250
as well, where, you know, you do this big show

00:38:25.250 --> 00:38:27.469
and then you're like, thank you, good night.

00:38:28.070 --> 00:38:30.369
And then you come back out and you slowly roll

00:38:30.369 --> 00:38:32.349
up your guitar cord. And, you know, but this,

00:38:32.670 --> 00:38:34.750
but even that's the trade -off for not needing,

00:38:35.170 --> 00:38:37.829
like I said, we can create our own specials now.

00:38:38.329 --> 00:38:40.150
You know, this is the trade -off of not having

00:38:40.150 --> 00:38:43.559
a production company like Netflix involved in

00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:45.659
taking a cut. So, you know, it's a little bit

00:38:45.659 --> 00:38:47.079
of give and take, but that's good. Well, it's

00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:48.800
interesting. I just kind of heard that a lot

00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.039
of people are, maybe Netflix will shift this,

00:38:51.380 --> 00:38:56.940
but Netflix, I think the best deal out there

00:38:56.940 --> 00:38:59.400
right now is Hulu, because Hulu lets you put

00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:01.659
the special up on your YouTube. Yeah. And then

00:39:01.659 --> 00:39:03.780
I think there, every two or three years, you

00:39:03.780 --> 00:39:07.019
can re -sign your contract and let it go other

00:39:07.019 --> 00:39:09.199
places. So that's a good deal. That's cool. But

00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:11.820
right now, as I understand it, Netflix writes

00:39:11.820 --> 00:39:14.440
you a check, and then you can do whatever you

00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:17.059
want with it. But if you want Netflix quality,

00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:21.980
that means that there's comics who have spent

00:39:21.980 --> 00:39:24.300
all that money or more, because they understand

00:39:24.300 --> 00:39:26.599
that the opportunity is to get eyeballs on them,

00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:29.579
and then your tours hopefully get busier and

00:39:29.579 --> 00:39:32.940
stuff like that. Yeah, a Netflix special really

00:39:32.940 --> 00:39:36.880
is more of a serviceable investment than it is

00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:39.639
a victory lap of the material that you've been

00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:41.920
working on. Gotcha. So, yeah, it is pretty interesting.

00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:43.199
I mean, I'm not saying that people shouldn't

00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:45.800
do it or there isn't obvious pros to it. Like,

00:39:45.860 --> 00:39:48.559
Mark Norman's a great example. He'd... Just saw

00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:51.019
him in Ithaca a few weeks ago. Yeah, he's great.

00:39:51.179 --> 00:39:53.000
And Sam Rowe did this on Amazon. And so they

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:56.739
both... I think had a YouTube special and then

00:39:56.739 --> 00:39:59.840
got the offer to do something on a platform and

00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:03.860
they knew Well, if I do this then the first one's

00:40:03.860 --> 00:40:05.760
gonna get a lot more eyeballs and then sure enough

00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:09.539
that's what ended up happening and so The platforms

00:40:09.539 --> 00:40:12.320
definitely can help you build an audience. Whereas

00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:17.119
YouTube you get more Both financial and creative

00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:19.920
control and from the audience you already have.

00:40:20.059 --> 00:40:22.579
Yeah, so it's like the old record labels same

00:40:22.579 --> 00:40:24.969
same kind of You know, same kind of concept.

00:40:25.030 --> 00:40:26.389
And speaking of which, I'd like to thank the

00:40:26.389 --> 00:40:29.429
seven audience members that I have on a regular

00:40:29.429 --> 00:40:31.150
basis. You guys are great. You guys are awesome.

00:40:31.269 --> 00:40:33.170
We love you. The Magnificent Seven, we call them.

00:40:34.150 --> 00:40:36.949
Brian, we got a few other things we want to jump

00:40:36.949 --> 00:40:38.909
into. But I just want to, if you could just take

00:40:38.909 --> 00:40:41.889
a minute, tell folks what happens next, right?

00:40:41.909 --> 00:40:43.550
So obviously, we know you edit the thing and

00:40:43.550 --> 00:40:47.130
you create a finished special. What happens with

00:40:47.130 --> 00:40:48.690
it next? You put it on YouTube kind of like we're

00:40:48.690 --> 00:40:51.820
talking about here, or what do you do? So Mike

00:40:51.820 --> 00:40:54.760
Abbott, who is my director, producer extraordinaire,

00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:56.739
he and I are gonna sit down with the material

00:40:56.739 --> 00:41:00.840
and write down what we want it to look like and

00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:03.619
what shots we have available to kind of put this

00:41:03.619 --> 00:41:06.280
together. And then from there, it's shopping

00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:08.239
it around to production companies. There's one

00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:10.280
in particular that I've already reached out to

00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:12.619
who kind of started this whole thing and I'd

00:41:12.619 --> 00:41:16.300
love to work with them. And so we'll go from

00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:18.980
there. And then that's kind of where that is.

00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:21.440
There'll be a lot of promotion of, hey, I'll

00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:23.880
come back on and say, hey, it's going to air.

00:41:24.059 --> 00:41:28.300
Go check it out. Get to do my digital panhandling,

00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:30.800
is what I call it, for a month there. I was just

00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:32.960
on Facebook with a cup going, please come to

00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:36.900
my show. Please give me a change. Yeah. And so

00:41:36.900 --> 00:41:39.940
that's the next stage for it, is just cutting

00:41:39.940 --> 00:41:44.599
it together, putting it up. and being happy with

00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:46.159
however it turns out. So when you say working

00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:48.079
with production companies, is that for the distribution

00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:50.679
portion of it? Yeah. I mean, because again, the

00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:53.599
seven people who follow me on YouTube, my channel

00:41:53.599 --> 00:41:56.000
isn't something. And the first half hour, that

00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:58.119
was the same issue was I felt good about it,

00:41:58.139 --> 00:42:00.780
but there wasn't anywhere for people to see it.

00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:03.219
And so production companies definitely have a

00:42:03.219 --> 00:42:05.460
great value of having that audience and being

00:42:05.460 --> 00:42:07.989
able to push it. They also know how to. cut up

00:42:07.989 --> 00:42:09.489
the material and promote like, you know, you

00:42:09.489 --> 00:42:12.630
guys have with your team here. And so it's one

00:42:12.630 --> 00:42:15.489
of those things where, yeah, just want to finish

00:42:15.489 --> 00:42:18.269
it. Let them or whoever wants it want it. And

00:42:18.269 --> 00:42:21.230
then hopefully can put some tour dates around

00:42:21.230 --> 00:42:23.190
it because people like it. Awesome. And that's

00:42:23.190 --> 00:42:24.789
that's kind of the goal, right? Kind of to what

00:42:24.789 --> 00:42:27.530
you were speaking to earlier is not necessarily

00:42:27.530 --> 00:42:29.789
that this thing is going to make you rich, but

00:42:29.789 --> 00:42:32.789
it'll get the eyeballs that drive ticket sales

00:42:32.789 --> 00:42:35.630
and in other social media channels and kind of

00:42:35.630 --> 00:42:38.619
build your community. Is that it? Yeah. Yeah,

00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:40.360
I remember I had this conversation with a comic

00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:43.619
in Albany, and he's a great comic and a legend,

00:42:43.659 --> 00:42:45.780
but we kind of disagreed. He was like, I think

00:42:45.780 --> 00:42:47.840
stand -up is the platform to do other things

00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:49.880
like movies and da -da -da -da. And I said, actually,

00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:52.559
in my experience, stand -ups only really want

00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:54.679
to do stand -up. We don't want to do movies.

00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:56.840
We don't want to do the TV show. They're fun

00:42:56.840 --> 00:42:59.059
and all that stuff. But there's so much more

00:42:59.059 --> 00:43:01.760
work than just showing up 15 minutes before the

00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:04.500
show. We're very lazy people. We really want

00:43:04.500 --> 00:43:08.260
to work about two hours max a day. That's most.

00:43:08.260 --> 00:43:14.699
Yeah. If a Frenchman and a Greek mother were

00:43:14.699 --> 00:43:19.639
raised by Italian grandparents, we're napping

00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:23.860
a lot. We love the Spanish mentality. We're taking

00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:28.889
it very easy. We eat meals before lunch. Between

00:43:28.889 --> 00:43:32.590
lunch and dinner. Complaining about things. So

00:43:32.590 --> 00:43:36.289
that's kind of the thing. And I think that with

00:43:36.289 --> 00:43:38.369
the, you know, people talk about the 80s and

00:43:38.369 --> 00:43:41.789
90s stand up boom. There wasn't, I think there's

00:43:41.789 --> 00:43:43.769
like, and this is Mark Norman and Sam Rell, they

00:43:43.769 --> 00:43:46.469
were saying they know like eight comics who are

00:43:46.469 --> 00:43:48.730
doing stadium tours right now. That's never happened

00:43:48.730 --> 00:43:51.409
before. And so podcasts are a huge reason why

00:43:51.409 --> 00:43:55.010
that's possible. Just the straight to connecting

00:43:55.010 --> 00:43:56.889
to your audience right away is a huge part of

00:43:56.889 --> 00:43:59.849
it. So yeah, I think that for me right now, the

00:43:59.849 --> 00:44:02.150
goal is to get up there and then hopefully build

00:44:02.150 --> 00:44:04.550
some tour dates around that because I just like

00:44:04.550 --> 00:44:06.510
doing stand up. Yeah. That's awesome. You know,

00:44:06.510 --> 00:44:09.739
it's wild because. We've kind of talked about

00:44:09.739 --> 00:44:12.440
this before too, where those same comics that

00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:15.159
are, you know, selling out stadiums, could probably

00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:17.559
walk around in that city before and after the

00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:20.539
show, and maybe one out of five people would

00:44:20.539 --> 00:44:22.860
recognize them, because it's such a niche, like

00:44:22.860 --> 00:44:24.940
you have your locked -in social media audience,

00:44:25.079 --> 00:44:27.760
like they're your hardcore fan base. Not everybody's

00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.320
watching and consuming the same content. It's

00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:33.440
pretty cool. I went to a Matt Rife show, and

00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:36.219
it's like they put up a bat signal for 23 -year

00:44:36.219 --> 00:44:38.480
-old girls named Becky. It was incredible. A

00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:41.500
lot of Becky. They just flocked there. There's

00:44:41.500 --> 00:44:43.940
a great Dan Soder who's an amazing stand -up

00:44:43.940 --> 00:44:46.719
comic. Love him so much. I think he was in Pittsburgh?

00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:49.780
No, he was in Salt Lake City, I think. And this

00:44:49.780 --> 00:44:51.360
has never happened before, and he's such a great

00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:54.079
guy, and he had no shame in it. He goes, I wasn't

00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:56.920
selling tickets. So, and Matt Rife had just been

00:44:56.920 --> 00:44:58.619
starting to blow up a little bit. What they did

00:44:58.619 --> 00:45:01.039
was, if you bought tickets to Dan Soder's show,

00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:03.719
you entered in a raffle to be able to get tickets

00:45:03.719 --> 00:45:08.340
to Matt Rife's show. And so all the shows sold

00:45:08.340 --> 00:45:10.559
out, because all these backies showed up. They

00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:12.820
wanted to see Matt Rife instead? That's genius.

00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:16.039
Matt Rife. Every Kylie, Kendall, and Kendra showed

00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:18.599
up. I mean, that's going to happen to me. I'm

00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:20.480
sure I'm going to have ticket sales that aren't

00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:23.420
going, and they're just going to. put a raffle

00:45:23.420 --> 00:45:25.760
together so that they can go see. That's so funny.

00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:28.280
Some influence. I actually love that idea. I

00:45:28.280 --> 00:45:29.840
think that's a brilliant idea. It's not a terrible

00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:31.880
idea to do that. Come see me and you could get

00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:36.860
a free $10 car wash. We could do a lot with that.

00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:39.659
We're so happy for you, but do you have any shows

00:45:39.659 --> 00:45:41.519
coming up that you can plug? Anything going on

00:45:41.519 --> 00:45:44.719
yet? I'm in North Carolina in two weekends with

00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:46.579
Steve Byrne. So if you're in the North Carolina

00:45:46.579 --> 00:45:49.000
area in Charlotte, go check that out. Huge North

00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.059
Carolina fan base. We do. And then I'm at the

00:45:52.059 --> 00:45:54.800
Utica Theater. Actually, let's vamp. Vamp for

00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:56.800
a bit. Tell me about the game. Hello, my baby.

00:45:56.940 --> 00:45:59.559
Hello, my darling. Hello, my ragtime gal. What

00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:02.400
is this game, anyways? Oh, the game? I want to

00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:04.420
play. And I don't even necessarily understand

00:46:04.420 --> 00:46:06.440
the full. I saw this on, I don't know where I

00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:08.659
saw it, one of the shows I watch. There's like

00:46:08.659 --> 00:46:11.579
this new thing. where they're putting up, Danny,

00:46:11.739 --> 00:46:14.059
if you want to queue it up here, it's a chart.

00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:16.519
Now, I designed this chart, okay? This took a

00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:18.920
lot of work, all right? He's literally been on

00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:20.880
this for four days. If you were sitting on a

00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:22.599
plane... Oh, I've seen this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:46:22.820 --> 00:46:25.400
So, if you were sitting on a plane... Okay. Okay,

00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:29.559
and these seats were open, where would you sit

00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:31.980
and why? And we're ignoring the fact that some

00:46:31.980 --> 00:46:35.699
are dead. Some are dead. We're pretending like

00:46:35.699 --> 00:46:38.360
they're alive. Mostly because I wanted to segue

00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:40.360
into something I had to say about Princess Di

00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:42.860
and Pee Wee Herman. So I purposely threw them

00:46:42.860 --> 00:46:45.539
in. So he came up with this for one random bit

00:46:45.539 --> 00:46:48.460
that he wants to bring up. He's a super producer

00:46:48.460 --> 00:46:51.719
right here. Should we, let me ask you this. So,

00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:54.380
and maybe this is part of the game, forgive me

00:46:54.380 --> 00:46:56.639
if I'm skipping ahead, but. Should we go over

00:46:56.639 --> 00:46:59.420
who each of these folks are first? So first,

00:46:59.940 --> 00:47:02.280
in the number two spot, top left, you've got

00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:05.550
Haq Tua. And then just so we're clear. Once we

00:47:05.550 --> 00:47:07.670
start, the whole point is each of us will go

00:47:07.670 --> 00:47:08.929
around and pick which seat we're going to sit

00:47:08.929 --> 00:47:12.409
in and just why. Why are you choosing that seat?

00:47:12.989 --> 00:47:16.909
And I will admit, Brian, I made this before I

00:47:16.909 --> 00:47:19.110
knew you were going to be a part of this. I included

00:47:19.110 --> 00:47:22.489
people that I know Matt likes, because he's weird.

00:47:23.210 --> 00:47:25.769
So not all of them, but some of them. So we've

00:47:25.769 --> 00:47:28.349
got in the back row, seats two and three, you've

00:47:28.349 --> 00:47:31.570
got Hock Tua and Peewee Herman. Good old Hayley

00:47:31.570 --> 00:47:34.030
Welch. Yep. And then you've got an aisle seat

00:47:34.030 --> 00:47:38.320
open. to Bob Ross and Lin -Manuel Miranda, who's

00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:40.840
got the window seat. Now, you can get crazy.

00:47:40.900 --> 00:47:43.019
You can hit seat number eight, and that is you're

00:47:43.019 --> 00:47:46.059
sitting between Mr. Beast and then that social

00:47:46.059 --> 00:47:48.059
influencer you love. What's his name? Hassan

00:47:48.059 --> 00:47:51.139
Piker. Yeah, yeah, Hassan Piker. This one I love.

00:47:52.219 --> 00:47:54.280
So the reason I chose this one is you could get

00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:56.320
the middle seat between O .J. and Lee Harvey

00:47:56.320 --> 00:47:59.079
Oswald. You could find out some shit. I'm saving

00:47:59.079 --> 00:48:01.239
my thoughts. Because there's a lot of conspiracy.

00:48:02.529 --> 00:48:06.409
between those two. You could sit in aisle seat

00:48:06.409 --> 00:48:09.690
15 where you're next to Howard Stern and he,

00:48:10.309 --> 00:48:13.250
John Stewart's got the window seat. Now, if you

00:48:13.250 --> 00:48:15.909
really wanna celebrate some douchebaggery, seat

00:48:15.909 --> 00:48:19.769
17, you're between Dave Portnoy of Barstool and

00:48:19.769 --> 00:48:23.030
Jill Rogan. Love them both. Window seat, your

00:48:23.030 --> 00:48:26.050
boy Gary Vee. You could sit next to him and Ken

00:48:26.050 --> 00:48:29.480
Jeong. diversity. And then we've got some animated

00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:31.460
characters. You could sit next to Cartman, who

00:48:31.460 --> 00:48:37.019
is also next to the Dragon Ball Z guy. Then last

00:48:37.019 --> 00:48:39.460
two, you could sit next to Oprah, who's next

00:48:39.460 --> 00:48:43.000
to Princess Di. Or you could sit between Obi

00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:47.159
-Wan Kenobi and Princess Leia. So that's the

00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:49.000
layout, and obviously we'll show it on the screen

00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:51.260
when we... All right, am I going first? Sure.

00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:53.400
All right, first I gotta give you some thoughts

00:48:53.400 --> 00:48:57.989
on this layout. So like a couple of these, so

00:48:57.989 --> 00:49:01.610
like Lin -Manuel Moran, that's the dude next

00:49:01.610 --> 00:49:03.150
to Bob Ross there, right? That's the Hamilton

00:49:03.150 --> 00:49:07.650
guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, he's kind of a loss

00:49:07.650 --> 00:49:10.289
because, you know, you're going to sit in that

00:49:10.289 --> 00:49:11.829
empty seat. You're nowhere near him anyway. So

00:49:11.829 --> 00:49:14.130
it's, do you want to sit next to Bob Ross? Interesting.

00:49:14.130 --> 00:49:16.929
I like that. And, you know, that's probably the

00:49:16.929 --> 00:49:18.469
safest seat in the whole airplane is next to

00:49:18.469 --> 00:49:20.389
Bob Ross. If you had a piece of loose leaf paper

00:49:20.389 --> 00:49:22.349
and you sat there, would you ask him to draw

00:49:22.349 --> 00:49:26.000
you something? Happy Little Trees? Happy Little

00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:28.179
Trees. He needs a paintbrush. He's not a pencil

00:49:28.179 --> 00:49:31.599
artist. All right. You know, the influencer seat,

00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:33.420
seat eight there, you know, that's an interesting

00:49:33.420 --> 00:49:36.420
one. My money's on that. Mr. Beast and Hassan,

00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:41.679
you know, that's, man, that might be some fun

00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:44.860
conversations. Especially with your, you know,

00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:46.860
this gig. You know, here's the thing. Now I also

00:49:46.860 --> 00:49:50.480
say, you want to talk about safest. I sort of

00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:53.179
feel like sitting between O .J. and Lee Harvey.

00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:55.400
Oh, interesting. You feel safe. Ain't nobody

00:49:55.400 --> 00:49:57.460
gonna fuck with you there. That's interesting,

00:49:57.519 --> 00:49:59.300
because most people look at that and go, oh,

00:49:59.300 --> 00:50:02.940
my God, that's insane. You're trapped. Two murderers.

00:50:03.039 --> 00:50:05.199
And on the other side of that, we're on a plane,

00:50:05.219 --> 00:50:07.380
so there's a reasonable expectation that they've

00:50:07.380 --> 00:50:11.559
been stripped of any weapons, you know? So...

00:50:11.559 --> 00:50:16.059
Knives. I'm not too concerned about that. Again,

00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:20.920
we got Howard and... And John Stewart, what a

00:50:20.920 --> 00:50:22.179
great couple. But you're going to be on the end.

00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:23.800
So really, you're only going to talk to Howard.

00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:27.179
There you go. Which, you know, the king of all

00:50:27.179 --> 00:50:28.639
media. If there's anybody you could talk to on

00:50:28.639 --> 00:50:32.679
a long flight, that would be the guy. I love

00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:35.340
where you're at. The pod bro seat, right? 17.

00:50:35.539 --> 00:50:37.139
Looking at this. We're in the back. Looking at

00:50:37.139 --> 00:50:43.070
this. Here's the thing. I'm not like. I'm not

00:50:43.070 --> 00:50:45.429
one of these bros who loves either one of those

00:50:45.429 --> 00:50:47.809
dudes. I'm also not one of these people who hates

00:50:47.809 --> 00:50:50.130
either one of those dudes. OK. Me too. I'm in

00:50:50.130 --> 00:50:51.690
the middle, yeah. And I'm just going to tell

00:50:51.690 --> 00:50:56.309
you that I would avoid that seat because I think

00:50:56.309 --> 00:50:58.010
those two dudes would spend the whole flight

00:50:58.010 --> 00:51:00.909
talking over you to each other. Excellent. I

00:51:00.909 --> 00:51:02.889
love that. That's the first one I'm actually

00:51:02.889 --> 00:51:05.570
eliminating. It's seven. OK. All right. Kim Jong,

00:51:05.670 --> 00:51:09.449
Gary V. Again, you don't get both of them. Don't.

00:51:10.489 --> 00:51:14.039
I love Gary V. Kim Jong is the funnier ones,

00:51:14.079 --> 00:51:15.860
which almost makes me think he might monopolize

00:51:15.860 --> 00:51:17.820
Gary V's time. So I'm just going to sit next

00:51:17.820 --> 00:51:22.159
to the window. Let me tell you, man, these things

00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:23.760
are going to do, man. You're just going to make

00:51:23.760 --> 00:51:26.340
them every day, man, consistently. That's the

00:51:26.340 --> 00:51:29.539
best Gary V impression I've ever done. Cartman

00:51:29.539 --> 00:51:33.380
and so who's the fella next to Cartman? It's

00:51:33.380 --> 00:51:36.719
some guy from Dragon Ball Z. Goku. Goku, thank

00:51:36.719 --> 00:51:39.210
you. I don't watch animation. Go, Cart. Is that?

00:51:39.369 --> 00:51:41.389
You know, I'm trying to... Yes, that's Gokart

00:51:41.389 --> 00:51:45.309
from... What is he... Is he like a... It's Gokart.

00:51:45.369 --> 00:51:47.110
Actually, the two of them, kart menu, they would

00:51:47.110 --> 00:51:51.929
be Gokart. And in Goku, characters can come together

00:51:51.929 --> 00:51:55.710
in Dragon Ball Z to become one superpower. So

00:51:55.710 --> 00:51:57.809
if they were to do that, they would become Gokart.

00:51:58.150 --> 00:51:59.630
And I planned it that way. Honestly, the most

00:51:59.630 --> 00:52:02.750
I know about anime is the South Park Chimpokomon

00:52:02.750 --> 00:52:07.760
episode. So... So I guess, I gotta ask this dude,

00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:10.000
so he's got this orange, is he like a prisoner?

00:52:10.119 --> 00:52:11.980
Did he break out of jail? Is that why he's wearing

00:52:11.980 --> 00:52:13.280
the orange? Sounds like Brian would know more.

00:52:13.340 --> 00:52:16.739
No, he's just a fighter. Okay. But he's, in the

00:52:16.739 --> 00:52:18.699
anime world, he's like the Hulk Hogan. Is he

00:52:18.699 --> 00:52:20.260
a good guy? He's the, yeah. Yeah, okay. He's

00:52:20.260 --> 00:52:22.519
like the, well. I would say he's like Superman,

00:52:22.659 --> 00:52:24.500
that he's also the most recognizable. There you

00:52:24.500 --> 00:52:27.320
go. There you go. Does he, he plays the, the

00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:30.300
polka balls? Mm -hmm. Okay. He'll poke your balls.

00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:32.059
Absolutely. Gotcha. He will poke your balls.

00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:34.039
Uh, let's see who else we got on this plane.

00:52:34.300 --> 00:52:37.239
Oprah and Princess Di, I fuck would never in

00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:38.500
a million years sit in that seat. Oh, I thought

00:52:38.500 --> 00:52:40.059
you were gonna say you would have sex with Oprah,

00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:43.039
but anyway. Oh, God. Uh, well, yeah, but think,

00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:44.340
here's something to think about with the Oprah.

00:52:44.519 --> 00:52:47.219
Listen, Oprah's brilliant. I just don't wanna,

00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:49.679
I don't wanna do, I feel like if I sat there,

00:52:49.679 --> 00:52:52.440
I would end up. doing Oprah. And then I'm going

00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:53.719
to jump on the seat and they're going to throw

00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:56.039
me out. That's fair. Here was my way of thinking.

00:52:56.559 --> 00:52:58.719
Imagine just listening. Wait, when you say doing

00:52:58.719 --> 00:53:01.239
Oprah, you mean do her impression? No, no. I

00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:04.619
mean, I'm on her show. Oh, sorry. I thought you

00:53:04.619 --> 00:53:05.920
were saying you were going to hook up with Oprah.

00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:09.860
No. Risky and gross. I 100 % would. She's a treasure.

00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:11.880
But my way of thinking - You get an orgasm. You

00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:14.820
get an orgasm. I mean - My way of thinking was

00:53:14.820 --> 00:53:17.219
imagine the conversation you could listen in

00:53:17.219 --> 00:53:19.099
on between her and Princess Di, though. You know

00:53:19.099 --> 00:53:23.219
what I mean? Yeah. That's kind of my sales pitch

00:53:23.219 --> 00:53:25.980
for that. I feel like they just talk about fancy

00:53:25.980 --> 00:53:28.719
shit or tea that I don't care about. My sales

00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:31.340
pitch for Hoctua is you're in the back corner,

00:53:31.500 --> 00:53:34.099
imagine what she could do to you, and imagine

00:53:34.099 --> 00:53:36.579
what Peewee would be doing while he's watching.

00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:39.400
Oh, that's the bad. I see what you did there.

00:53:39.619 --> 00:53:41.460
I thought that was the front. Well, maybe it

00:53:41.460 --> 00:53:43.519
is. Yeah, I think it is. No, but you face it

00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:47.019
towards the back. Yeah. OK, then keep going,

00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:48.219
and then I'll do mine. I was just going to say,

00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:50.000
this last row, so we got the Star Wars folks.

00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:51.579
That's because I know you love Star Wars. I do

00:53:51.579 --> 00:53:55.260
love Star Wars. And that would be a great seat.

00:53:55.300 --> 00:53:57.559
So I guess I got to pick. Let me give me my final

00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:01.599
answer here. My vote was seat eight, if I had

00:54:01.599 --> 00:54:06.179
to pick. I'm leaning strongly towards seat eight.

00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:11.400
Yeah, I'm going to go with seat eight. A, because

00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:13.840
of the robe, but also because you got Bob Ross

00:54:13.840 --> 00:54:15.639
in front of you. I feel like he would be the

00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:18.579
most courteous, not jamming the seat in your

00:54:18.579 --> 00:54:22.000
back sort of type of fella. He's just painting

00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:23.960
a happy tree behind you. That's right, just happy

00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:27.119
little trees. And also, I feel like most people

00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:29.420
would not have my level of security with the

00:54:29.420 --> 00:54:31.719
two killers behind me, which means there's probably

00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:34.579
nobody in seat 11, and I can recline my seat.

00:54:34.650 --> 00:54:36.210
I'm really proud of you, because you thought

00:54:36.210 --> 00:54:37.989
outside the box. That was my thinking with seat

00:54:37.989 --> 00:54:40.949
21 next to Gary Vee, is if you wanted to double

00:54:40.949 --> 00:54:43.590
dip, you could also probably listen in and talk

00:54:43.590 --> 00:54:46.590
to Portnoy and Rogan if you leaned over your

00:54:46.590 --> 00:54:49.030
seat. And then you could laugh your ass off with

00:54:49.030 --> 00:54:52.030
Cartman and, you know, Gokart, who's in front

00:54:52.030 --> 00:54:54.590
of you. God damn it. Yeah. What do you think?

00:54:54.710 --> 00:54:57.150
I can wrap it around this. OK, so one, if one's

00:54:57.150 --> 00:54:58.730
in the back, yeah, you do the hock to a girl,

00:54:58.769 --> 00:55:01.590
but I don't find white women attractive. So I'm

00:55:01.590 --> 00:55:03.159
not going to do that anymore. Also, we could

00:55:03.159 --> 00:55:06.119
talk about Peewee. He got in trouble for what?

00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:08.360
Masturbating in an adult movie theater? That's

00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:09.800
where you're supposed to do it. I don't know

00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:12.019
why he ever got bashed for that. I agree. Porn

00:55:12.019 --> 00:55:14.679
did not exist. He had to, or video, you know,

00:55:14.739 --> 00:55:16.519
we don't have Pornhub. He did what he had to

00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:19.179
do. Number six would be fun, because I could

00:55:19.179 --> 00:55:23.139
pitch the Bob Ross musical done by Lin -Man Miranda.

00:55:24.579 --> 00:55:27.019
Number eight does nothing for me, because Mr.

00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:28.500
Beast would be like, we've got this crazy idea,

00:55:28.619 --> 00:55:30.800
we're going to treat everyone like a slave. And

00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:33.360
you're like, OK, no, I'm OK. And the guy on the

00:55:33.360 --> 00:55:34.900
right, I know he's an influencer, but he's got

00:55:34.900 --> 00:55:36.980
so much jewelry, he just would jingle the whole

00:55:36.980 --> 00:55:38.900
time. And that would be bad, because the young

00:55:38.900 --> 00:55:41.280
people wear grandma's pearls now for some reason.

00:55:42.219 --> 00:55:44.199
11, I'm going to leave that open so they can

00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:47.630
murder each other. That'd be funny. Solid. But

00:55:47.630 --> 00:55:51.170
15, I'm good. If I was sitting next to Jon Stewart,

00:55:51.230 --> 00:55:53.889
I could do it. I'm not a huge Howard Stern fan,

00:55:53.909 --> 00:55:56.230
because I didn't grow up with it. I didn't grow

00:55:56.230 --> 00:55:58.989
up with it. And when I see him now, he reminds

00:55:58.989 --> 00:56:03.429
me of a lot of 17, of not particularly, just

00:56:03.429 --> 00:56:06.690
not anything that I think the interviewees like

00:56:06.690 --> 00:56:09.829
Oprah is a fantastic interviewer. I think, you

00:56:09.829 --> 00:56:11.150
know, I'm trying to look at the rest of the list.

00:56:11.659 --> 00:56:14.260
I think that, and this is a controversial opinion,

00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:17.960
Howard Stern and Joe Rogan, the talent that is

00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:21.519
in that show and their empire. is with their

00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:24.440
producers, not them individually. Because they're

00:56:24.440 --> 00:56:26.500
able to get great guests on, but I don't think

00:56:26.500 --> 00:56:28.780
that they bring anything specifically interesting

00:56:28.780 --> 00:56:32.380
to an interview or a conversation. I know how,

00:56:32.820 --> 00:56:34.639
and I know it's sacrilegious to say that about

00:56:34.639 --> 00:56:37.320
Howard Stern. But he's, he'll just have porn

00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:38.559
stars on, he's like, so you have sex, that's

00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:40.840
wild, what's that like? You know, terrible Howard

00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:44.059
Stern impression. Seventeen I wouldn't go, because

00:56:44.059 --> 00:56:47.019
fuck Boston sports. Again, Joe Rogan, you know

00:56:47.019 --> 00:56:48.840
he's not wearing a mask and he's shooting elk

00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:50.980
blood into his neck. I just don't need that in

00:56:50.980 --> 00:56:55.519
my life. 21 could be fun. Yeah, they have the

00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:57.539
same, you know what it is? Their voice has the

00:56:57.539 --> 00:56:59.860
same frequency that if you ever try to get a

00:56:59.860 --> 00:57:02.019
glass, it's just gonna shatter. So that's not

00:57:02.019 --> 00:57:06.579
gonna work. 22, I'm okay, because again, these

00:57:06.579 --> 00:57:08.760
two are just gonna become one person, the go

00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:10.900
-kart, and then Mario shows up to drive away

00:57:10.900 --> 00:57:15.920
on them. 25 could be fun. Again, it's the reverse

00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:19.019
of Hoctua. Oprah's a beautiful woman and we'll

00:57:19.019 --> 00:57:22.079
be fine with that. And then 29, I love Star Wars.

00:57:22.139 --> 00:57:24.940
So I would go there. I would go 29 because go

00:57:24.940 --> 00:57:28.000
Star Wars. It's the best. Excellent. Real quick,

00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:32.440
what do you think your... No, no, you're fine.

00:57:34.039 --> 00:57:36.019
I wonder what the topic of conversation would

00:57:36.019 --> 00:57:40.179
be. For who? The Star Wars people. Oh, I wouldn't.

00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:41.880
I don't know. I don't watch Star Wars. I'm not

00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:45.280
a Star Wars guy. What do you got, buddy? I'm

00:57:45.280 --> 00:57:47.539
going to just keep it brief. I mean, look, bottom

00:57:47.539 --> 00:57:50.869
line, I'm picking seat 11. Because I want to

00:57:50.869 --> 00:57:52.710
feel like no one's gonna mess with me. Okay,

00:57:52.769 --> 00:57:55.190
I also I mean I have so many questions about

00:57:55.190 --> 00:57:57.730
the killings I feel like oh you want to dig in

00:57:57.730 --> 00:58:00.250
I want to dig in okay? I want to find out what

00:58:00.250 --> 00:58:02.110
really happened, and then I'm gonna go on a book

00:58:02.110 --> 00:58:04.570
tour or speaking tour I'm gonna make a ton of

00:58:04.570 --> 00:58:06.570
money off that and by the way one of my heroes

00:58:06.570 --> 00:58:09.590
Howard Stern will be right in front of me Which

00:58:09.590 --> 00:58:12.269
reach over so let me ask you which one are you

00:58:12.269 --> 00:58:14.949
more interested in the details from OJ or Lee

00:58:14.949 --> 00:58:17.510
Harvey? Honestly, probably Lee Harvey. Because

00:58:17.510 --> 00:58:20.110
there's way more conspiracy surrounding him.

00:58:21.349 --> 00:58:23.590
Like, did you actually even shoot him? Right.

00:58:24.250 --> 00:58:26.989
What's this second gunman, third gunman? Let's

00:58:26.989 --> 00:58:29.469
brass tacks here. And if you were going to do

00:58:29.469 --> 00:58:31.150
it today, how would you do it? I mean, there's

00:58:31.150 --> 00:58:34.190
so many ways. How did the magic bullet come to

00:58:34.190 --> 00:58:36.269
be? Well, actually, it really was magic. I'm

00:58:36.269 --> 00:58:41.070
a wizard. That's why I'm actually in black and

00:58:41.070 --> 00:58:44.230
white on the airplane. I will say two quick things.

00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:48.460
One is, I think Pee -wee Herman is one of the

00:58:48.460 --> 00:58:52.980
most underrated characters to ever exist in pop

00:58:52.980 --> 00:58:56.400
culture. I think it is a genius character. And

00:58:56.400 --> 00:58:58.800
Princess Di... Have you ever seen his comedy?

00:58:59.519 --> 00:59:02.760
Like... Stand -up? Yeah. No. It's phenomenal.

00:59:02.820 --> 00:59:04.199
Paul Reubens? Yes. I've never seen his stand

00:59:04.199 --> 00:59:06.219
-up. And you're right. The character Pee -wee

00:59:06.219 --> 00:59:08.239
that he created is absolutely phenomenal. But

00:59:08.239 --> 00:59:09.980
if you see the stuff, he's one of these guys

00:59:09.980 --> 00:59:13.659
who plays like a goofy, very juvenile character.

00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:16.659
and was actually incredibly an intelligent guy.

00:59:17.559 --> 00:59:19.199
And in a lot of his other stand -up, you'll hear

00:59:19.199 --> 00:59:21.719
a lot of other comics that knew him well. You

00:59:21.719 --> 00:59:24.579
know, he got branded for that horrible indecent

00:59:24.579 --> 00:59:28.260
thing that he did. But, you know, a lot of, like

00:59:28.260 --> 00:59:30.139
I said, the real comics will talk about the respect

00:59:30.139 --> 00:59:33.219
that they gave that guy for genuine comedy chops.

00:59:33.239 --> 00:59:36.639
I mean, he launched, arguably launched Phil Hartman's

00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:40.280
career, but just the movies were part of my childhood.

00:59:40.780 --> 00:59:42.300
Lawrence Fishburne? Lawrence Fishburne, yep,

00:59:42.500 --> 00:59:46.769
yep. Uh, you know, they had Cheri and Mekka Lekka

00:59:46.769 --> 00:59:49.090
Hi, Mekka Hiney Ho. The bike, I loved the bike.

00:59:49.230 --> 00:59:51.150
The rubber band ball. With all the gadgets. Pee

00:59:51.150 --> 00:59:52.929
-wees Playhouse I used to watch. So I was a big

00:59:52.929 --> 00:59:56.710
fan, but I just think, looking back now, I mean,

00:59:56.769 --> 00:59:59.349
my God, even with SNL characters, I just think

00:59:59.349 --> 01:00:02.849
because of the incident where he bopped his bologna

01:00:02.849 --> 01:00:04.030
in the theater, where you're supposed to do it,

01:00:04.090 --> 01:00:07.610
I guess, he, you know, he didn't get the credit.

01:00:07.690 --> 01:00:10.659
It was just an amazing character. And then Princess

01:00:10.659 --> 01:00:14.039
Di, I took one of those... Did you take a college

01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:18.059
class on her, too? No. I got a... What do you

01:00:18.059 --> 01:00:20.920
call them? DNA test done. And I paid $10 extra

01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:23.579
to see if I was related to any celebrities. No

01:00:23.579 --> 01:00:25.840
bullshit. Can you pull up the picture of Princess

01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:28.639
Di real quick? It should be a... $10 extra to

01:00:28.639 --> 01:00:30.119
see if I was related to a celebrity. I paid $10

01:00:30.119 --> 01:00:32.579
extra on my genetic test. You know the answers,

01:00:32.820 --> 01:00:35.659
yes. Hold on. Do I look like her? For $10. I

01:00:35.659 --> 01:00:38.360
need a crown, but... Mean all white people look

01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:40.900
the same. Well, that's got you there. Yeah. Yeah,

01:00:40.900 --> 01:00:42.699
are you all you missed? Are you and was that

01:00:42.699 --> 01:00:45.739
I heard ascending a princess die? I guess I paid

01:00:45.739 --> 01:00:48.059
when I took the Canadian test They said if you

01:00:48.059 --> 01:00:50.119
want to pay $10 extra will check in which technically

01:00:50.119 --> 01:00:51.860
she was cheap family So I guess it doesn't mean

01:00:51.860 --> 01:00:53.800
anything. No, I don't have royal blood technically,

01:00:53.800 --> 01:00:57.710
but apparently I'm I am Yeah, I'm related the

01:00:57.710 --> 01:00:59.570
only thing you miss. I'd love to hear your opinion

01:00:59.570 --> 01:01:02.030
is no. It's fine You're so cool. Now that you

01:01:02.030 --> 01:01:05.190
shot your special you're taking calls I said

01:01:05.190 --> 01:01:08.389
20 million per movie I said that I think Pee

01:01:08.389 --> 01:01:10.610
Wee Herman is one of the most underrated characters

01:01:10.610 --> 01:01:14.150
of all time. I think it's genius Um, this is

01:01:14.150 --> 01:01:15.989
another one that's tricky because I didn't and

01:01:15.989 --> 01:01:18.429
not that he wasn't in my time No, no, no, I get

01:01:18.429 --> 01:01:20.789
it. I if you know if you don't grow up with something

01:01:20.789 --> 01:01:24.840
I did It's the same thing of like when I go to

01:01:24.840 --> 01:01:27.679
India to visit with my wife, Lakshmi's family,

01:01:28.239 --> 01:01:30.360
it's hard talking about cultural stuff, because

01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:32.099
if you didn't grow up with it and it's not ingrained,

01:01:32.460 --> 01:01:35.360
try to explain Fight Club to someone who grew

01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:38.619
up in South India. I was like, we should watch

01:01:38.619 --> 01:01:40.449
American movies when you come and visit. And

01:01:40.449 --> 01:01:42.170
I was like, oh, fight clubs are classic. And

01:01:42.170 --> 01:01:44.429
he was like, oh, is that where they fight each

01:01:44.429 --> 01:01:46.610
other to make money so they can feed their family?

01:01:46.750 --> 01:01:49.469
And I was like, no. Edward Norton thinks IKEA

01:01:49.469 --> 01:01:52.590
has too many choices. And that's the downfall

01:01:52.590 --> 01:01:56.070
of society. When you're something wired. So Pee

01:01:56.070 --> 01:01:59.750
Wee is my fight club as a South Indian. Now that

01:01:59.750 --> 01:02:01.289
it doesn't make sense, I just didn't grow up

01:02:01.289 --> 01:02:04.389
with it. But I love anything that's going to

01:02:04.389 --> 01:02:07.900
be. I mean, let's be honest, Pixar did what Pee

01:02:07.900 --> 01:02:10.179
Wee was doing beforehand, which is kids and adults

01:02:10.179 --> 01:02:12.760
are laughing at something together. Yeah. And

01:02:12.760 --> 01:02:15.400
that had never really been done before. So it's

01:02:15.400 --> 01:02:16.519
one of those things where even though I didn't

01:02:16.519 --> 01:02:18.659
grow up with it, I can see the amazing, yeah,

01:02:18.659 --> 01:02:21.420
I can appreciate it. Yeah, for sure. So I just

01:02:21.420 --> 01:02:22.820
want to say real quick, now that you're back,

01:02:22.900 --> 01:02:26.519
I got to give you a little shit. Please. I'm

01:02:26.519 --> 01:02:28.920
excited. Howard Stern is probably one of the

01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:30.760
best interviewers you could find. I could not

01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:33.039
agree more. Ever in the history of the world.

01:02:33.280 --> 01:02:37.179
And here's the thing, though. Um, if you don't

01:02:37.179 --> 01:02:40.179
watch and listen to his show and to do so, to

01:02:40.179 --> 01:02:41.800
really understand it is like, you got to win

01:02:41.800 --> 01:02:43.559
fast. You know, you got to be one of these fucking

01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:46.900
listeners who's hours and hours and hours. But

01:02:46.900 --> 01:02:50.659
if you're not, you get exactly kind of what,

01:02:50.659 --> 01:02:52.440
what Brian said. It's the interview and the strippers.

01:02:52.619 --> 01:02:54.559
Those are the clips you hear the most and in

01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:56.139
the shit that he's most famous for the dirty

01:02:56.139 --> 01:02:59.480
stuff, but he'll get a list. you know, Billy

01:02:59.480 --> 01:03:02.159
Joel and like these big name people to open up

01:03:02.159 --> 01:03:04.599
in a way that you will never find in any other

01:03:04.599 --> 01:03:07.519
interview. And I'm very open to the idea of being

01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:09.179
wrong. I've been married two and a half years.

01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:12.340
I'm getting very used to it. I don't even want

01:03:12.340 --> 01:03:13.659
to give you much shit because it's one of those

01:03:13.659 --> 01:03:15.000
things like, you know, there's one of these,

01:03:15.000 --> 01:03:17.019
oh, this guy on the podcast is phenomenal. And

01:03:17.019 --> 01:03:18.539
you'd only know that if you were a fan and listened

01:03:18.539 --> 01:03:21.500
to 40 hours of podcast, you know, I certainly

01:03:21.500 --> 01:03:24.269
can't blame you. But I got to throw Howard's

01:03:24.269 --> 01:03:28.690
little defense. He's the Goku of morning talk

01:03:28.690 --> 01:03:31.530
show radio. And if you're not watching the 40

01:03:31.530 --> 01:03:33.869
hours of it, you don't realize how important

01:03:33.869 --> 01:03:36.110
he is. Yeah. I haven't missed an episode of Howard

01:03:36.110 --> 01:03:39.130
Stern since 1997. And I'm not joking. I listen

01:03:39.130 --> 01:03:42.210
every single day. And I respect your opinion.

01:03:42.349 --> 01:03:44.250
Because like Matt said, unless you're in that

01:03:44.250 --> 01:03:46.170
world, you're not going to just tune in for an

01:03:46.170 --> 01:03:48.360
interview. But you have to remember, too, he

01:03:48.360 --> 01:03:50.460
wasn't always a great interview. This was an

01:03:50.460 --> 01:03:55.380
evolution over time. And his interviews, especially

01:03:55.380 --> 01:03:58.400
the one with Steven Tyler is one of my favorites.

01:03:59.460 --> 01:04:01.880
It is unlike any other interviews you listen

01:04:01.880 --> 01:04:05.480
to, because he talks, it's like this, but just

01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:07.820
with so much depth and so much shit. The shitty

01:04:07.820 --> 01:04:10.500
gets out of people. Sort of because he can be

01:04:10.500 --> 01:04:13.099
raunchy, right? He has sort of that license to

01:04:13.099 --> 01:04:16.550
get personal. And sometimes, like I said, the

01:04:16.550 --> 01:04:17.849
stuff he gets out of people is not something

01:04:17.849 --> 01:04:20.530
you'll find. No. OK, then I will give him a revisit.

01:04:20.530 --> 01:04:22.230
You're not wrong. You can have a different opinion.

01:04:23.190 --> 01:04:25.010
I mean, from that photo, it looks like he's got

01:04:25.010 --> 01:04:28.250
six months left. So we'll see how much I can

01:04:28.250 --> 01:04:29.949
watch. You want to hear something crazy real

01:04:29.949 --> 01:04:31.610
quick, because I know we got to go? You said

01:04:31.610 --> 01:04:34.429
Fight Club. I will never experience Fight Club

01:04:34.429 --> 01:04:36.909
because someone told me the fucking ending before

01:04:36.909 --> 01:04:40.079
I watched it. That's like the one movie. You

01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:42.699
cannot do that. There was one Rosie O'Donnell,

01:04:42.820 --> 01:04:44.940
I remember Rosie O'Donnell saw it and she spoiled

01:04:44.940 --> 01:04:47.420
it for like thousands of people who were watching

01:04:47.420 --> 01:04:50.059
it because she was like, I didn't like it. I

01:04:50.059 --> 01:04:52.699
didn't like it. It was very... And he's got an

01:04:52.699 --> 01:04:55.579
imaginary friend and you're like, no. I'll be

01:04:55.579 --> 01:04:58.139
honest. I feel like you could still... That's

01:04:58.139 --> 01:05:00.480
one of those... No, I did. And I liked it the

01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:02.119
whole time. I'm like, oh, look. No, I'm with

01:05:02.119 --> 01:05:04.840
you though. Don't fucking ruin it for me. I mean,

01:05:04.880 --> 01:05:06.539
mind you, it was years later, but still. But

01:05:06.539 --> 01:05:08.719
what's also fun, too, is watching it again, because

01:05:08.719 --> 01:05:10.579
it is a great movie. Watching it again, you also

01:05:10.579 --> 01:05:14.480
get to see the nuances and the specific things

01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:17.159
where you realize, oh, he really... When they're

01:05:17.159 --> 01:05:20.460
in the kitchen and they're talking, I'm like,

01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:22.840
oh my god. There's like small details when they

01:05:22.840 --> 01:05:25.500
crash the car, Edward Norton gets out on the

01:05:25.500 --> 01:05:27.579
side that would have been the driver's side because

01:05:27.579 --> 01:05:30.320
he was actually driving or whatever it was. What

01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:32.639
a positive. You're right. And that's the way

01:05:32.639 --> 01:05:34.599
I consumed it because I had no choice. I knew

01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:36.900
the ending. And you're right. It was kind of

01:05:36.900 --> 01:05:39.300
a fun angle because you're like, right, like

01:05:39.300 --> 01:05:40.840
you said, that's why he's not doing that. That's

01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:44.199
why he's sitting there. That reminds me of, oh

01:05:44.199 --> 01:05:49.039
god, I think it's... John Mulaney or, no, it's,

01:05:49.039 --> 01:05:53.019
um, it's, uh, um, um, God, uh, Tennessee kid,

01:05:53.139 --> 01:05:56.260
Nate Bargatze. He does a great joke about, uh,

01:05:56.260 --> 01:06:01.289
um, the six cents. and how that movie, he clearly

01:06:01.289 --> 01:06:03.670
is shot at the beginning, he clearly has died,

01:06:04.010 --> 01:06:06.409
and he's having meetings, he's getting dinner

01:06:06.409 --> 01:06:09.289
with his wife, but it made more sense to us,

01:06:09.469 --> 01:06:10.929
the audience, married people, that they would

01:06:10.929 --> 01:06:14.489
just sit in silence and eat. The idea that maybe

01:06:14.489 --> 01:06:17.949
something's wrong or something happened. No one

01:06:17.949 --> 01:06:19.670
is like, why aren't they talking? They're like,

01:06:19.670 --> 01:06:23.230
huh, been there. Yeah, it checks out. So goddamn

01:06:23.230 --> 01:06:26.570
funny. He's not wrong. What a chock full episode.

01:06:26.650 --> 01:06:29.980
Yeah. My god. I think it's time to wrap. But

01:06:29.980 --> 01:06:32.559
before we do, thanks for having me. Brian Ink,

01:06:32.860 --> 01:06:34.360
give us your plug. Let's help you. Yeah, man.

01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:37.880
Brian Ink. Oh, I was able to pull this up. So

01:06:37.880 --> 01:06:41.260
Charlotte, North Carolina in two weeks. It's

01:06:41.260 --> 01:06:46.360
going to be a super fun one. And then I am closer

01:06:46.360 --> 01:06:53.000
at the Utica Theater, the 21st family. I think

01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:58.219
the show's at seven. I don't really know. The

01:06:58.219 --> 01:07:00.559
goal of the special is to get a manager who can

01:07:00.559 --> 01:07:02.960
tell me where to go and what to do. That is the

01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:05.340
dream. I have no idea. But that'll be a fun one

01:07:05.340 --> 01:07:08.079
at the Utica Theater. Stanley? It's the Stanley

01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:09.980
Theater. Which theater? In Utica? I don't know.

01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:12.340
It's gotta be Stanley. Or the Stanley. Maybe

01:07:12.340 --> 01:07:14.739
it is the Uptown. Yeah, it's the Uptown one.

01:07:14.820 --> 01:07:16.199
Is that the one that they're doing renovations

01:07:16.199 --> 01:07:20.000
at? Yes. Yep, it's that one. OK. So, yeah, I

01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:22.139
work exclusively with theaters that aren't done

01:07:22.139 --> 01:07:24.659
being built yet. Brian Ink, we love you. What's

01:07:24.659 --> 01:07:27.179
the name of your special? Oh, letters are hard.

01:07:27.380 --> 01:07:30.639
And it's coming out sometime. Sometime. When

01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:32.139
he's done with it. Editing, well, we're done.

01:07:32.300 --> 01:07:35.940
Editing starts this week, and we go from there.

01:07:36.119 --> 01:07:38.900
We love you. Do you block out time? Like, do

01:07:38.900 --> 01:07:40.440
you have a kind of a schedule for editing and

01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:43.530
you know... Yeah, I don't have it. Not sort of

01:07:43.530 --> 01:07:45.489
when we get to it sort of deal? Yeah, I don't

01:07:45.489 --> 01:07:47.789
know. It's scheduled, but then it turns into

01:07:47.789 --> 01:07:51.650
I'll just get to it. Well, I do timers. Timers

01:07:51.650 --> 01:07:55.050
are big for me. And so I'll do an hour of editing

01:07:55.050 --> 01:07:57.170
and then see how I feel about it and see if we

01:07:57.170 --> 01:07:58.809
can give it another hour or if something else

01:07:58.809 --> 01:08:00.949
has to come up. So we'll go from there. Yeah,

01:08:01.190 --> 01:08:03.349
definitely. Timers are huge. All right. Brian

01:08:03.349 --> 01:08:05.969
Ink will no doubt be back again. He's one of

01:08:05.969 --> 01:08:08.329
our favorite guests to have. And he's not even.

01:08:08.519 --> 01:08:11.840
Too far away. I got nothing else going on. For

01:08:11.840 --> 01:08:14.500
Mikey B, our man Danny behind the board, I'm

01:08:14.500 --> 01:08:16.779
Matt. Peace out.
