61
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: my Christmas vacation. It was probably I almost feel bad

62
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: for saying this probably the best Christmas vacation I can

63
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: remember in a long time. And I feel bad saying

64
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: that because my sister has passed and my dad's passed,

65
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: So I feel bad saying that. But as far as uh,

66
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: as far as having a bunch of like drama and

67
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: and and and rushing around and and then my son

68
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: did the Christmas Day thing like like Mary Ellen and

69
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: I were just it was just probably the best Christmas

70
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: vacation I could think of having. How was your your

71
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: Christmas vacation?

72
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: Man, it was, Uh, it was absolutely incredible time. And

73
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 5: uh really, uh, this is what I would say. And

74
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 5: for me, Russ, this is probably one of the most

75
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 5: kind of low key, uh Christmases. Uh just had a

76
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 5: lot of family stuff that needed my attention and just

77
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 5: things that I needed to get in order in that regard.

78
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 5: So it was it was absolutely amazing experience. I will

79
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 5: start with here. This is like one of the things

80
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 5: that first started it off on I think.

81
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: It was the Monday.

82
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 5: The Monday or Tuesday morning, after our break, I get

83
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 5: a call from my daughter. She's getting ready to go

84
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 5: out of town with her mom. And I don't know

85
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 5: if this happened to a lot of people flying out

86
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 5: of Sanford and flying on Allegiance. Apparently they changed their

87
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 5: policy on letting your dogs fly with you, especially if

88
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 5: you can bring it on the plane, and they didn't

89
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 5: really they didn't do well enough to let their people know.

90
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 5: So I get this phone call at like eight o'clock

91
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 5: in the morning from my daughter at and and she's frantic,

92
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 5: and I'm freaking out, and I'm and I mean just

93
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 5: the burst of adrenaline, and I'm like, what's going on?

94
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: And she's crying.

95
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 5: They're like, they're not gonna let us take the dog

96
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 5: with us, and I was like, wait, what are you doing?

97
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 5: Where's your mom? Her mom was there and everything. So

98
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 5: that morning I'm hauling butt to Sanford Airport to pick

99
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 5: them up because they can't fly, and they were going

100
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 5: up to Ohio because the airline wouldn't let them take

101
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 5: their dog on the flight with them. There was a

102
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 5: policy change with something about how if you're bringing the

103
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: dog on the plane if it can't fit underneath.

104
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: There and turn around or something like that.

105
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 5: But this dog has flown, you know, tons of times

106
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 5: recently in this past year. It's flowing and they were

107
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 5: apparently sending people home right and left.

108
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: So you're going to get the dog or you're going

109
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: to get all of them.

110
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 5: I thought I was going to get the dog, right,

111
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 5: So I'm thinking, I'll bet so this is gonna be okay. Well,

00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 4: a wholesome vanilla guy, and then you see a stand

316
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 4: up and like, my god, this man's a psycho.

317
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 3: Oh well, maybe there's there's a bit of that somewhere

318
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: in the background. Dark stories with him had some Oh

319
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: but you know what, I know, we're late.

320
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: But he was throwing it back to his old ex girlfriend,

321
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 2: Uh Julianne Huff. Julianne Huff was in UH in Vegas,

322
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: but he wouldn't say her name, and she didn't.

323
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: She didn't. She was with Gronk, So he would.

324
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: Talk to Gronk and not her, and then Grenk would

325
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: talk to him, and yeah, it was kind of funny.

326
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: He doesn't seem the kind of guy that would hold

327
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: a grudge like that. I don't think he was on

328
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: the grudge. They just didn't interact, you know, because they

329
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: used to date. ADSM. Dungeon. All right, we gotta take

330
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 3: a break.

331
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: We come back and find out about Ryan because Ryan

332
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: had looks like a great time now. Of course, you

333
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: know it can look great, but you know, Ryan can

334
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: make it sound horrible.

335
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: Who knows. I know the New Year's resolution, everything was fine,

336
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: was good.

337
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: I don't believe it. All right, we'll find out when

338
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: we come back. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the

339
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: March of the Morning. You know, ain't noticed all the

340
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: all the trash that they left out there, you know,

341
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: like they took everything out of here and they just

342
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,520

00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: like he could care less.

345
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: That's where it went. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh my god,

346
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 3: just sitting there.

347
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: No I took that home.

348
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: You just left it around. That's a pretty value.

349
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 5: And then you're just really nearly just eating meat sticks

350
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 5: that you find around after the I played it during

351
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,000

00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 5: mysterious meat sticks.

353
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: There's additional drawer meat back there that they found somewhere. Hey,

354
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 4: you're just gonna rip it open and eat it now,

355
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 4: you ain't. You ain't changed a bit in twenty twenty six.

356
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: It doesn't expiral six. Yeah, okay, perfectly good draw meat. Hey,

357
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: by the way, guys, we have we have breakfast coming

358
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: to us. Uh.

359
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: I heard Jenny from First Watch said, Okay, I guess

360
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: something happened at the end of last year where First

361
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: Watch was gonna bring us.

362
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 3: Food and they can't.

363
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: They they didn't know how to get into the elevator

364
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: or something like that. Okay, well they feel bad about that,

365
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: so they wanted to make up for it, so they're

366
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: bringing us.

367
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: Breakfast this morning. So I figured that puts you all

368
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: in a good mood. That's a great news level First Watch.

369
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: Fantastic way to start the new year. When does that happen?

370
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: She just said, she just sent me tracking here, so

371
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: she's got the tracking thing, and I said, can you text.

372
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 3: Me when you get here? So there you go. We'll

373
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: start off a little bit.

374
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 4: I remember that that person was afraid of elevators, so

375
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 4: they wouldn't come all the way up to the fourth floor.

376
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: That's it, And I guess they got someone else to

377
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 2: bring it because because they see here.

378
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 4: I always really enjoyed the best of you, picked Angel,

379
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 4: because I would drive around and our station's always just

380
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 4: set to real radio. As we get in the car, right,

381
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 4: and I'll hear myself and it's such a weird experience.

382
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 3: I'll never get tired of that. I really enjoy it.

383
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 4: And then I forget about all the fun stuff we do.

384
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 4: And then Angel throws it into a best of it.

385
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, yeah, I heard.

386
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: A lot of great, great things about the best of

387
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: you pick, especially on Christmas Day. I had so many

388
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: people thanking me for what you played on Christmas Day

389
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: and I'm like, it wasn't my Angel played it.

390
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: It was the whole bubba, you know.

391
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like doing that on Christmas Day. I don't know,

392
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 5: it's just it seems like the you know, the right

393
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 5: day to do that. So I definitely advantage of that.

394
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 5: And then on some of the other days, like I'll

395
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 5: definitely lean on the interviews. Yeah, I played all the

396
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 5: best interviews I thought that we had for the year.

397
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: I used to be like that where I would listen,

398
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: but by fine, I get obsessive and then I have

399
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: to listen for the entire five hours and I'm wasting

400
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: my time. So I can't listen to best of anymore.

401
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: I had to train myself not to do it. I'm

402
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 2: trying to be a better person Ryan every day. I'm

403
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: trying every single day, and we'll talk about our news

Speaker 4: Yeah, And I got to stop comparing myself to other people, right,

475
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 4: But when the other people that I'm comparing myself to

476
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,760

Speaker 4: take the stand up side of my career more seriously

481
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,800

Speaker 4: That's true because again local celebrity slash hero Ryan Holmes,

490

Speaker 4: I know that, Like Texas is like Austin, Texas specifically,

492
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 4: is this mecca for stand up comedy now for a

493
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 4: bunch of various reasons, right, And I'm like, I was

494
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 4: sitting there in my chair in my office. I was

495
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 4: just playing a video game and I'm like I just

496
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 4: had this like bug and I'm like what am I doing?

497
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 4: Like I'm just wasting time doing this? I should I

498
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 4: should just I should go and do something and try

499
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 4: to like advance my career a little bit further. Okay,

500
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 4: So I looked up flights and all I was like,

501
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 4: I've always want to do this too, where I just

502
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: take off.

503
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean. My wife's down too.

504
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: We don't have we got a dog.

505
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 4: My mom could take care of the dog, or we

506
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 4: could border. So it's like we don't have kids, so

507
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 4: we can kind of get up and go and we

508
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 4: don't ever do it. So I'm like, we're going. So

509
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 4: I look up the flights, and.

510
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 3: The flights for four hundred and fifty dollars. Wow.

511
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, because we were going to do a christ cruise,

512
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 4: but the Christmas cruise was like it was getting kind

513
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: of expensive when we added everything up.

514
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 3: So they're like, okay, well Texas is gonna be cheaper.

515
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 3: It turns out when you fly willy nilly like I do,

516
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 3: it's not cheaper. So I talked to my.

517
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 4: Wife and she's like, she's like, look, if you want

518
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 4: to do this, this is important to you, we can

519
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 4: get it. We'll get on the planet.

520
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 3: I can.

521
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: I can have us packed in like thirty minutes. Yeah,

522
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 4: And I was like are you sure. It's like yes,

523
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 4: and I'm like that's why I love you. Uh So

524
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: we packed fast. I mean we literally just grabbed clothes,

525
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 4: threw them into a into the bag and just take

526
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 4: off for Texas. It's because Kill Tony films on Monday nights. Okay,

527
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 4: so I have to beat to the sign up in Austin,

528
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 4: Texas by five o'clock to do the show that starts

529
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 4: at eight.

530
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: Right, And from what I what you've explained to me before,

531
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: there's no guarantee you're gonna get on the show. You

532
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: go and and you and hopefully they draw your name

533
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: and hopefully you get on stage.

534
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 3: Is that accurate? Yes? And so we fly out there.

535
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: I go.

536
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 4: Now when you sign up, there's two sign ups right

537
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 4: then they happen at the same time. There's the one

538
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: where you can do the show at the Comedy Mothership

539
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 4: in the main room and they pick you know, sixteen

540
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 4: people out of two hundred, and then Kill Tony, which

541
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: is you know that they picked maybe eight names out

542
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 4: of like three hundred.

543
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: Wow.

544
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was able to get it's just willy

545
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 4: nilly or it's willing. It's a bucket pull.

546
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: So it's not by your reputation. It's nothing like that.

547
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 3: We know who this guy is.

548
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 5: That's part of the stick is that they got the

549
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 5: bucket right there and he's just pulling names out there.

550
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never watched it.

551
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: Some people have signed up, you know, hundreds of times,

552
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 4: have never gotten picked, and some people have signed up

553
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 4: very few amount of times been on the show, like

554
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 4: four or five times.

555
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 5: And like part of the evolution is that another part

556
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 5: of it. And I don't know if you've got to

557
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 5: experience this, Ryan, but waiting in line outside has also

558
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 5: become a thing, and there are guys that have become

559
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 5: a little bit infamous, notorious famous by doing kind of

560
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 5: working that outside area to go on on stage.

561
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

562
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was, you know, I signed up and

563
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 4: I got and I got selected to go onto the

564
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 4: Mothership's main room. Wow, like you know, the main comedy

565
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 4: club of the country right now.

566
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 3: So it's just like Willy Nilly Luck. You got Willi

567
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 3: Nilly Luck, and I flew out there on a Monday

568
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 3: and a whim. That's awesome. Yeah.

569
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 2: Part of success, by the way, it's just showing up.

570
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't show up, they don't go,

571
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: they don't they just sit and cry that they are

572
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: not going to make it. So what you did was

573
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: absolutely I respect it. It's perfect. So you get out

574
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: there and you and you get to go on stage.

575
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: So why did they give you five minutes?

576
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: No, you only get three three minutes, three minutes.

577
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 4: All of Austin, Texas is three minute comedy sets, which

578
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 4: is so weird because here and everywhere else I've ever

579
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 4: been in the country.

580
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 3: It's five minutes.

581
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 4: So then I got to like, so, if I'm going

582
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 4: on stage, I'm just gonna use my closer, right, Yeah,

583
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: but I know that my closer takes about five minutes,

584
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 4: so I have to like cut it down to three,

585
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 4: which is actually way harder to do then I thought

586
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 4: it would be. But I actually did really well. I

587
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 4: mean the first like six people went up in front

588
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 4: of me and they bombed hard, and I'm like, oh,

589
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 4: this audience is like this is not gonna work out.

590
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 4: And then I went up, opened the audience up. It

591
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 4: was crazy. He crushed it, and then uh so I

592
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 4: felt good, Like, so, no matter what happened for the

593
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 4: rest of the you know, eight days in Texas, I've

594
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 4: already won, you know what I mean? Yeah, because I'm like, Okay,

595
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 4: I did a thing. The booker for the comedy club

596
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 4: saw me talk to him for a second. It was great, great,

597
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 4: great great. So then I signed up for kill Tony

598
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 4: And that is a it is like a mini kind

599
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 4: of like I once did America Idol and went to

600
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 4: that audition which was like at a stadium, and then

601
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 4: you know there's like ten thousand people trying to sign

602
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 4: up for stuff. Uh, this is like a mini version

603
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 4: of that, except every at the bar that that's next door,

604
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 4: they have ten.

605
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: Dollars liquor pictures and everybody's drinking those.

606
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 4: So like so everybody like who's there to like theoretically

607
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 4: advanced their career and might basically get this lotto ticket,

608
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 4: it's getting hammered, not taking it that seriously, which is interesting.

609
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 3: And so I'm you know, they're all for I'm making friends,

610
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 3: you know, I'm talking to people.

611
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 4: A lot of a lot of comedians there, so like

612
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 4: it's kind of like you know, if you're a comedian,

613
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 4: you go to another town, you find other comedians, you're

614
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 4: just you're just in and you can talk to anybody.

615
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 4: But like they're like, oh for me these liquor pictures,

616
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, I can't, Like, what am.

00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 3: Oh hard and uh but it's a long wait.

621
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,360

685
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 3: Austin text for a week. Yeah, so that's a long time.

686
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 4: It is anywhere, it is a long time, and it's

687
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 4: a long time to be in Austin, Texas, which, uh,

688
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 4: it's like it probably would have been better if if I,

689
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 4: you know, gone out through during the year, because a

690
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 4: lot of comedy shows I wanted to get on were

691
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 4: actually shut down for the holidays. So we had to

692
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 4: fun other stuff to do because my wife is there

693
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 4: and she wants to be a tourist as well, and

694
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 4: she can't do comedy every single night apparently. Yeah, so

695
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 4: we got we got to tour around Austin in a

696
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 4: little bit of Texas, and we went to another town

697
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: called Fredericksburg. But man, like Texas talks a big game nationally,

698
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like people always like everything's

699
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 4: bigger and better in Texas and blah blah blah. Look,

700
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 4: I only saw Austin, Okay, And I understand that Austin

701
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 4: is to keep it weird capital. It's a it's a

702
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 4: liberal city in the middle of a sea of red right.

703
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: But I gotta say, man, I have never seen more

704
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 4: homeless people in my entire life, really, like an army

705
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 4: of homeless people. And I'm and you could ask and

706
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 4: you'd get you'd get fifteen different reasons why this is

707
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 4: happening in Austin, as well as far as like some

708
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 4: people are like, oh they bust them in and some

709
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 4: summer like they've always been here. It's crazy though, is

710
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 4: the first time I ever stepped in full human feces?

711
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 3: Oh?

712
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: No?

713
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 3: Which was like, which is the eye opening experience when

714
00:31:59,000 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 3: I when that happen?

715
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 4: Because uh, shoes on, right, had some shoes on, But

716
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 4: it happened me and my wife was like, my wife

717
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 4: walk a little bit behind me.

718
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 3: I step in it. She steps in. It happens very fast,

719
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 3: and my wife goes, please tell me that was dog.

720
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: And it makes a difference. Apparently for her it makes

721
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: a huge difference. You know it would for me too,

722
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 3: Like it was dog. I'm like, okay, if it's a human, yeah,

723
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: yeah it was.

724
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 4: And it was the thing about human feces is you

725
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 4: generally only see it in a toilet, so it looks.

726
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 3: Small in capacity.

727
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is it was a lot and it was

728
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 4: like and once you started noticing the feces, it's kind

729
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 4: of all over the place.

730
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: People ask me about that with New Orleans and I

731
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: did not experience anything like that in New Orleans.

732
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I saw there.

733
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: Were a couple homeless paper I'm not gonna say they

734
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: were none, but it was not overwhelming.

735
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: It wasn't like there was a ton you know.

736
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 4: I don't want to be clear when I talked about this, okay,

737
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 4: because they have like the Austin Resources Homeless Center, and uh,

738
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 4: there's a version of homeless that is homeless. It's people struggling,

739
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 4: like like what we raise money for things like that happen.

740
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 4: These are your homeless people that is drugs right, and

741
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 4: they are out on the street and a lot of

742
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 4: them like it's it's that they look drug addled and

743
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 4: they are friendly is a is a minor word.

744
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 3: They will just come up to you. They will ask

745
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 3: for money.

746
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 4: I was walking back with just my to go food, right,

747
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 4: and they were like, let me get that, like I

748
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 4: must have like just from a like a one mile

749
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 4: walk from this restaurant I went to back. I had

750
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 4: like seven or eight different ones to be like, hey,

751
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 4: let me get that food, and I'm like, this is

752
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 4: my food.

753
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 3: I'm also gonna eat this, and they'd be like, oh,

754
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 3: you don't care.

755
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: It was aggressive, homeless, aggressive homeless, nothing worse.

756
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 4: And I guess, like from what people were telling me,

757
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 4: Texas is short on police officers, right. They're they're missing

758
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 4: about three hundred or so depending based on their population size.

759
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 4: And it's evident too because actually didn't see a ton

760
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 4: of police, which is which is interesting. What I did

761
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 4: see was hey, it's Texas, so a lot of people

762
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 4: are open carry. And then the other thing is they

763
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 4: have this private security force that's out there with like

764
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 4: that are fully armed and they so they have badgers

765
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 4: that and like they're wearing tactical vests and it just

766
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 4: says security, right.

767
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 3: But they're not police.

768
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 4: And then there's a third section of like and they're

769
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 4: just like the Austin City Safety Team, which is just

770
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 4: guys that like wear bright yellow vests and on bicycles

771
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 4: trying to help people out, the problem with it is

772
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 4: I got a really nice hotel, right, and it's in

773
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 4: the heart of downtown. I'm down the street from the

774
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 4: Capitol building, but the second i'd walk out, it becomes

775
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 4: like zombie apocalypse land. And if you weren't on certain

776
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: streets and very aware of like where you were going,

777
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 4: and it felt less safe than when I was in Argentina.

778
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 4: Like at one point I just bought a knife because

779
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 4: it felt like I needed it to walk around because

780
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 4: we didn't have a car, so we try to walk

781
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 4: everywhere like we were like in like some fancy city

782
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 4: what not. Not the best walking city in the world. No,

783
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 4: so we But the other thing is they got waymos there, guys,

784
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 4: and uh, waymos.

785
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 3: What's that? Oh they're robot taxis. Bro Oh they are.

786
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 4: They're full on, fully automated, no driver Jaguar taxis that

787
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 4: pick you up and you don't have to interact with anybody.

788
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 3: That was beautiful. I love them.

789
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 4: The first time you get in one of these robot taxis,

790
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 4: it is terrifying and you're like, oh, it's definitely gonna

791
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 4: mow over a group of people. Because we only hear

792
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 4: the bad stories, right right, we hear the one that

793
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 4: like because right before we laughed, it was that one

794
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 4: that got into the gunfight and just kept trying to go.

795
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 5: A felony stop in Florida and uh yeah, it was

796
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 5: a felony stop here in Orlando.

797
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just here there. There are different parts

798
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 3: of Orlando, but they're here. Yeah.

799
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 4: I love them because every time I got into a

800
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 4: car with an Uber driver, they were psychos. Really, Oh

801
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 4: my goodness, Texas odes Is it's worse than I for

802
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 4: They got like their main vats I thirty five that

803
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 4: goes through it's super Hella under construction. Uh, it just

804
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: kind of veers off at certain places and and and

805
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: it was awful. So to get in the robot car

806
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 4: was beautiful.

807
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: I could see that. I will tell you.

808
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: In New Orleans, it seemed like everybody who was, you know,

809
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 2: driving for lyftor or what's the other one, Uber or whatever.

810
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 3: It's like they were a part of the I don't know,

811
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: the committee to make you want to come back to

812
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 3: New Orleans.

813
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: They were so friendly and nice and like telling you

814
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: where to you know, hey, you should go try this,

815
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 2: and they had their act. I can't I can't do

816
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: the accent, but they all shot so friendly. I had

817
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: a totally different experience.

818
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't find the people of Austin to be

819
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 4: the friendliest people. They weren't unfriendly, they just I don't know,

820
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 4: it's going through this major transition because all those tech

821
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 4: companies moved there. I mean, like Samsung's there now, Google Tesla,

822
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 4: and so I'm even Florida, even though Florida is not

823
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 4: the South, I would say, we're pretty friendly people down

824
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 4: here overall.

825
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 3: And I just didn't find that same vibe there. You

826
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 3: didn't find that.

827
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 5: Did you get a chance though, to like because what

828
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 5: people from Austin will tell you is that all of

829
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 5: that is not Austin. South By Southwestern is in Austin.

830
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 5: You know, the Comedy Mothership isn't Austin. All of that

831
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 5: that's come to Austin isn't Austin. And that if you

832
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 5: want to really genuinely experience that, you've got to get

833
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 5: out of like say, like the downtown proper and get

834
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 5: out to the suburbs.

835
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 3: A lot of people very mad. What's happening to Austin

836
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: a lot of natives.

837
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, because and the amount that Austin has changed, it

838
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 4: has been in a very short period of time. It's

839
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 4: been we're talking like four to five years tops, where

840
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 4: like it went from this like super weird city to

841
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 4: kind of this tech paradise and the whole vibe is shifted.

842
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 3: So whatever, it's fine, just fix your streets.

843
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 4: You got a governor in a wheelchair, you think you'd

844
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 4: have better handicap acs this in a lot of places.

845
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 3: Damn it. I just felt like that.

846
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 4: Also, Texas very proud of Texas themselves, but no one's

847
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 4: from there anymore.

848
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 3: It's a lot like.

849
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 4: Florida now, where everybody I met wasn't a native for

850
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 4: the most part. And I'm not talking just the comedians.

851
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 4: I was just like I would be out and about

852
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 4: talking like the waiters and stuff like that. No one's

853
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 4: from there anymore. But when you go to that Texas capital.

854
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 4: First of all Florida, we got update our capital. Okay,

855
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 4: Texas has a big fu state capital. It's bigger than

856
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 4: the White House. And I like it that it's got

857
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 4: a history behind it, because it's like they're like, oh,

858
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 4: we're Texas, We're our own nation, and Washington doesn't tell

859
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 4: us what to do. So we purposely faced our capital

860
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 4: away from Washington, DC.

861
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 3: And I like a pettiness of it. It's good.

862
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 4: They're also big fans of Davy Crockett there, like when

863
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 4: you walk in, who, by the way, is a real person?

864
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 3: I didn't know that. I thought he was made up.

865
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 3: I thought he was a made up person, like Daniel Boone.

866
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 4: I thought, like, who's the guy that like did that

867
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 4: raced the train, the hammer and the nails John Henry.

868
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was like a John Henry. No,

869
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 3: he's real. He's a real guy.

870
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 2: All right, let's let's we have to take a break.
