1
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:03,600

00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: I you want your way back home?

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Either way, we want to be there, doesn't matter how

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: terminol and gay.

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 3: We want to send you off inside.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: We wanna welcome you back home.

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: Tell us all about it.

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: We scared her?

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: Was it fine?

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 4: Malborn?

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: Do you need to ride?

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?

15
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: Do your need do you ride?

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:02,160

00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: you need to ride? This is Chris.

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: Fairbanks and this is Karen Kilgaroth.

20
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 5: I don't know why I have to go uh before

21
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 5: my name. It's as though I have to think about

22
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 5: it for a second.

23
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: I think it's your way of seeming natural, right, it's

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: my who knows.

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 5: I have to try really hard to seem natural, and

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 5: I do a lot of stammers and ums, especially when

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 5: that's more natural script reading or scene reading. I've been

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 5: rehearsing with a band, and I mentioned it before that

29
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 5: I was nervous, But now I feel better now that

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 5: I'm not just listening to Dead Kennedy's and fire Hose

31
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 5: and all these singers with different voices entirely and trying

32
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 5: to mimic them, which is what I was doing. And

33
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 5: now that I'm doing it with a band, I'm singing

34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 5: it like myself. And I'm very excited for this weekend now,

35
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 5: whereas before I was scared and doubting myself. And I

36
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 5: just want to share that with you, Karen, because you

37
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 5: are a singer, well, I appreciate.

38
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you are continuing on the journey instead

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: of stopping at being nervous, because that's the key, right

40
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: it is a gars And also you have to remember

41
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: that feeling. And you're going to do this to yourself

42
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: because I've seen you do this in comedy. You're going

43
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: to start telling yourself stories as it's happening about how

44
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: people are receiving you. You are wrong, you are wrong.

45
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: You are wrong, although and you don't know how they're

46
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: receiving you don't know, I assure you. And what's really

47
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: happening is you're vulnerable and you don't like it. It's

48
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: kind of I find the opposite of stand up comedy,

49
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: which is very involulnerable. So if you choose to be

50
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: that way, but singing, you have no choice. You got

51
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: to open it all the way up.

52
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: Yep.

53
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 5: And I'm not going to give a speech in the

54
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 5: beginning that says I've never sang in a band.

55
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: I'm actually a comedian. I'm not going to make excuses.

56
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 5: I'm going to pretend I along there, do a lot

57
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 5: of high kicks, and I'm going to do a lot

58
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 5: of screaming, and I'm going to drink my throat coat tea.

59
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 4: So you just.

60
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Started this story kind of out of the blue. But

61
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: what is this a gig? Is it a Show's the

62
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: other thing.

63
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: It's like one of those comedy shows where you have

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 5: to do a bunch of homework and write new material.

65
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: It's so much work for one show. Yeah, and it

66
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: is a scale.

67
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: At least they're paying you five hundred dollars.

68
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 5: No money, no accolades, really just friendship. College friends from

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 5: my college days in Missoula. They all know how to

70
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 5: play instruments. They asked me to sing I when I

71
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 5: was in Portland, and I said yes, and then I

72
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: was nervous for a full month.

73
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: But now, yeah, figuring it out.

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 5: But it's for a skate park opening in How many

75
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 5: songs are you going to do? Seventeen songs are.

76
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: You being serious, Yes, and you're doing a double album

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: of songs.

78
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 5: Yes, A lot of them are two minute interstitial songs. Specifically,

79
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 5: they're all from late eighties early nineties skate videos, and

80
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 5: some of them are just very short, one minute songs.

81
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 5: All of them involved me using all of my vocal chords. Sure,

82
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 5: but some of them I'm nailing, I think. And it's

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: a but. Yes, it is a lot of songs, but

84
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 5: those guys are learning the basslines and guitar riffs and drumming.

85
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 5: I mean, my job is easier. I'm just singing karaoke.

86
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: Arguable because if the bassline dips out for five seconds

87
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: because the guy gets lost, the entire song still keeps

88
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: going right, but the.

89
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 5: Sing if my voice cracks, I notice, and I faint

90
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: and hit my head or something, which I've imagined specifically

91
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 5: that scenario the show's over. Yeah, you do have a

92
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 5: good point and the nervousness is back.

93
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: You need that nervousness. It's good energy. Don't interpret it

94
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: as bad energy.

95
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: It'll be great. I'm gonna do.

96
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 5: I forgot I have the option of doing high kicks. Yeah,

97
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 5: they asked me. In Portland, that's where our guest is from. Today,

98
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 5: and I'm very excited to have him because every time

99
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 5: I talk with Today's guest in person, it's like therapeutic

100
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 5: for me.

101
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: He's a special, special person.

102
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: He's a special person.

103
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: He's actually originally from Carson, California, though.

104
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: Where the goat carts are.

105
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: That's all I've done. In Carson.

106
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 5: They also have a Toyota dealership where you can't get

107
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 5: a lemon.

108
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: Go somewhere else and you have to go.

109
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 5: I almost got a lemon, not in Carson, Not in Carson.

110
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: I assume it's the same Carson. You've seen him in

111
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 5: colleges and clubs across the country. It's better when you

112
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 5: do that, Karen.

113
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 1: No, you're don't bail halfway through.

114
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I did, bail on through. I

115
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: almost called you, Kevin. I don't know why. It's better

116
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 3: when you do it, Kevin.

117
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 5: Goot, Karen, you've seen him at clubs and colleges across

118
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 5: the country. Put your hands together for the hilarious Ron funches.

119
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: Everyone. Hi, Hi, Ron.

120
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: I like your friendship. It's fun. Thank you, buddy, it's real.

121
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 4: I like how supportive it is and Karen just saying

122
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 4: the right things.

123
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: It's all so true.

124
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: Thank you.

125
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: I try to be I try to be supportive in

126
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: a kind of confrontational way because Chris Chris has a

127
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: way of thinking about himself that some times infuriates me.

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Right when I watch him be great at comedy and

129
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: then he comes off stage like death sucked, and I'm

130
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: just like, you don't know shit, Yeah, I think that's important.

131
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 5: I thought you were going to tell me to cancel

132
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 5: the show, and then you you were just supportive.

133
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: So you're right.

134
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 4: It's very realistic and supportive. Where she goes, you have

135
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: to do it, and you have to go through the fear,

136
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 4: and then she also goes, that's too many songs, so

137
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: it's really everything that you want to hear.

138
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: It is all true. It is too many songs.

139
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 5: I dog here the ones I'm willing to let go,

140
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 5: like the Dead Kennedy's I can't do high ethel Merman

141
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 5: vibrato screaming.

142
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: Unless I go aha, I can. Sorry for that sample,

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: but I've been.

144
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 4: That live on stage. That was probably off put It

145
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: was off putting to me.

146
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: Jessica, you got to hear the whole song ron because

147
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: love it. Jessica Simpson does that with a mic.

148
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 5: She goes like a waves it in front of her

149
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 5: face to create a vibrato yep.

150
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. And where's she been lately?

151
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot she makes shoes now, Oh there's a lot. Yeah.

152
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: My nieces love her pumps.

153
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

154
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's got a hole.

155
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: And she actually just bought back her own like trademark

156
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: or something like. Apparently she sold it and then it

157
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: was going downhill, and then she bought it back and

158
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: now she's Jessica. She's back on top. I just remember

159
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: looking at the headline and she was wearing like a

160
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: cowl neck sweater, and I actually felt happy for her,

161
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: even though I've like I was too old when she

162
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: got big to care one way or the other. But

163
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: then I was like, I love when a person buys

164
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: their thing back. Yeah, that's always good.

165
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

166
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 5: People were really hard on her, just because she thought

167
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 5: that maybe tuna was chicken. But it's called Chicken of

168
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 5: the sea. It's a deceiving name. I know why she

169
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 5: said that.

170
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: They set her up.

171
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, and if you're like her, having fresh albacore or

172
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 5: seared tune all the time, it does seem like a

173
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 5: can of chopped up chicken. And in her defense, what

174
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 5: with all the dolphins and everything. You know, I get

175
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 5: very environmental, all the different meats in the can.

176
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: There might be chicken in there, Jessica, she's not here, Chris.

177
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: I put her on speakerphone, Ron, Can you sing.

178
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: A little bit?

179
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 4: I take singing lessons or I was taking singing lessons

180
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 4: for a while really when yeah, for what reason?

181
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: For fun?

182
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: Because it was a pandemic and I didn't have much

183
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 4: to do, and I like, I wanted to do an

184
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 4: activity or try to find a hobby or a passion

185
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: that didn't have anything to do with monetary.

186
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: Results at the end.

187
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 4: You know, everything else that I did, it was usually like, oh,

188
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get paid for this and that, and

189
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 4: so to just do something because I wanted to do

190
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: it and to try to get better at it and

191
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: something that I'm not, you know, confident.

192
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: It was just something I wanted to do.

193
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 3: Have you ever been a person that did karaoke?

194
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: No? I don't really.

195
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: I'm a pretty shy person outside of the stage. I

196
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: don't like attention on me unless I want attention on me,

197
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 4: and then I want a lot of attention.

198
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, wait, can you give Chris any singing tips

199
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: of like what you learned.

200
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: I just learned a.

201
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: Lot more vocal techniques about how I hold my mouth

202
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 4: in ways, just making sure your mouth is loose and

203
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: when you're you know that your o's are more like awe,

204
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 4: you know, like opening like that, and to not sing

205
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: from your throat but the thing from your chest and through.

206
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: So I had to do a lot of practice.

207
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I even googled some things.

208
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 5: And what I was doing was taking a deep breath

209
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 5: so I could spit out four lines. But apparently you're

210
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 5: supposed to take a deep breath in and then exhale

211
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: most of it because if you have all that wind

212
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 5: rushing against your vocal cords, that's what strains them.

213
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: Apparently that's but it's hard to do.

214
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 4: And that was also another reason that I do a

215
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 4: lot of voiceovers, and some of them involved singing, and

216
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 4: that was very like I would do the voiceover and

217
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: like we'll get done in an hour, and then we

218
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 4: do a song, and it takes me like two three

219
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 4: hours for one song because we'd have to the rhythm

220
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 4: of the song and then I'd have to sing it.

221
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: In my voice. And then they'd be like, well, you

222
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: gotta be the character.

223
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: So right, you're like, but my character doesn't sing.

224
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, either me nor my characters sing.

225
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: It is much harder because I did the opposite.

226
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 5: I was listening to all these different artists and doing

227
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 5: an impersonation of their voices. But now that I'm playing

228
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 5: with a band and not just singing along with a song,

229
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 5: I'm just singing like myself, and it's such a weight

230
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 5: off my shoulders. It's so hard to sing as someone else.

231
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think that's like any type of art, right,

232
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 4: you do. You start off by mimicking the people that

233
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: you enjoy, and you know, I do the same with

234
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: my stand up, you know, and then try to find

235
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 4: who you are and your differences.

236
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, did you paint these paintings or what's this?

237
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: Oh?

238
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: My dad painted those?

239
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: Oh they seems a great artist.

240
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: Thanks, Yeah he is, Yeah, he is.

241
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 2: He is great.

242
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 5: And this is how Karen ended up with one of

243
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 5: his paintings, just this exact situation.

244
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: Looking around that room behind him and then being like,

245
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: what's that over there?

246
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 5: Yes, to just point to the one you want. And

247
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 5: my dad really is because he can't paint anymore. He's

248
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 5: got a hand issue, a nerve issue, so he's just

249
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 5: trying to give them a way to everyone.

250
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: Was that difficult for him, Yeah, it's just a shaky hand.

251
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 2: It's no, I just me not being able to pain.

252
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 5: Oh right, Uh, he's sure pretending it isn't, but it

253
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 5: has to be.

254
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would imagine.

255
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 4: So it's something I think about a lot, just you know,

256
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: especially since we had to take a break for a

257
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 4: while with the pandemic.

258
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: I get more.

259
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't like try to do comedy every night,

260
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 4: but I'm certainly more like, oh like this can be

261
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: taken from me. And also like my uncle, I get

262
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 4: a lot. I got my real against my own instincts,

263
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 4: which is to be lazy.

264
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: And chill all day.

265
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: I'm very much like a go get I like working

266
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 4: a lot. And I get that from like my uncle,

267
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 4: who when I live in Chicago, he was always such

268
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 4: a like he was like vice principal. Everybody knew him

269
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 4: around the neighborhood. Like if it was a midle of

270
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 4: a blizzard and someone knocked on your door at nine

271
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: in the morning, like you knew it.

272
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: Was my uncle. He was the only person who would

273
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: be up and out like that. And then like one day.

274
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: He also was like the super of a building and

275
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 4: he heard a commotion in his building. He went to

276
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 4: check on it and some the people were robbing this

277
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 4: lady and they saw him and they shot my uncle

278
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: in the head, and like he survived, but like ever

279
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: since then, he's gotten like, you know, brain damage and

280
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 4: like he has more like a mentality of like a

281
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: teenager where he likes to just stay inside all day

282
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 4: and smoking the house and like, uh play you know,

283
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 4: not video games, but like just like his little pea.

284
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: Bottles in the house and stuff.

285
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, like like a teenager, like a like a fourteen

286
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 4: year old teenager. And it's like something that I'm always like, oh,

287
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 4: like you can always like someone can take that spark

288
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: from you, whether you you know, from in so many

289
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 4: different ways.

290
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: So right, it's important to remember that. Is that why

291
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 5: you have the plan B of becoming a wrestler? And

292
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 5: how has that gone?

293
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 4: I mean, no, I just did one match and I

294
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 4: liked it. It was really fun. I don't plan to

295
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 4: do more because it seems painful. It was painful, right.

296
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,359
Speaker 3: I saw some footage.

297
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 5: I don't know where I saw it, but the mat

298
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 5: is not as springy and padded as you think, right.

299
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: No, I mean it's got some give, but it's it's

300
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 4: still people like when they slap you and stuff, they

301
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: really slash.

302
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

303
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

304
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 5: I for when I worked for Fuel TV, I let

305
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 5: the guys a luchavavum guys throw me around and I

306
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 5: didn't get one but needed a neck brace afterwards. And

307
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 5: I had the big red slaps on my back and

308
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 5: chests like permanent handmarks. But it was my I said,

309
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 5: let me have it. I can take it. But that

310
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 5: was one thing I noticed. The floor is not it

311
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 5: is a just a piece of wood with.

312
00:15:59,320 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: Fabric on it.

313
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes, especially when you train and they don't Sometimes

314
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: they don't even let you use the rain. They just

315
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: make you use an old school wrestling matt on the floor.

316
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: Oh wow, it's just like you really gotta be careful.

317
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: How much did you train for that?

318
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 4: I mean overall for like a year, but I'd say steady.

319
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: I would go once a week for three hours a

320
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 4: day for like three months, and then I found this

321
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: other place that was a little more chill, and I

322
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 4: would just go like once a week, once a month,

323
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: once a month, usually for like a few few months,

324
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 4: just to get ready.

325
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 5: Are you still going, because I remember when you first

326
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 5: moved to La and your career was taking off, and

327
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 5: I was very excited for you. I think it just

328
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 5: started with seeing you on at midnight. To me, you

329
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 5: were such a new comic that I just met, and

330
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 5: then that was that was a big deal to me.

331
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: I was proud of you.

332
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 5: Still out, thank you, But you and like Matt and

333
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 5: a lot of guys went way out of town like

334
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 5: was it Carson or something in that direction to go see.

335
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: Went to Long Beach, I believe.

336
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 3: Oh it was well on Long Beach. That makes more sense.

337
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, cool anyplace, Anaheim.

338
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: I's in Chicago at a show last week, so I go,

339
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 4: I'll go to the show.

340
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: Why not? Yea?

341
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: I went in for the first time. I went and

342
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 4: saw our of comedy. So Alex Edelman's won That Man

343
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: show and that was fun. It was fun to watch

344
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: somebody else do comedy for a while.

345
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: It's rare. I'm not going to do it a lot,

346
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: but it was nice to do.

347
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

348
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 5: I still like watching it too. I always thought it

349
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 5: was strange when comics were like did not want to

350
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 5: watch because I like stand up more than ever now,

351
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 5: so that includes watching other people that are good at it.

352
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun.

353
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 4: It's a real fun for me to like I'm gonna

354
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 4: be which is not old, it's just a fact. I'm

355
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 4: not trying to say, like, oh oh, I understanding I'm

356
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: going to be forty in six months. And like I

357
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 4: started when I was twenty three, So it's for the

358
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 4: first time where I've seen like there's like a full

359
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 4: generation of people behind me now. And so to meet

360
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 4: people who are like good comics that are in their

361
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 4: mid twenties or early twenties or you know, even thirty

362
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: and have them be like, oh, man, I liked you

363
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 4: when I was before I started, and you know, that's

364
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: all new for me, and it's real cool and interesting

365
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 4: in you know, sometimes you gotta be like what but

366
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 4: I better like I get I gotta stop thinking I'm

367
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 4: full of this potential.

368
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: The youngsters are always coming up from behind. That's always

369
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: a weird thing too, because I noticed when I was like,

370
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: I stopped doing comedy, then when I came back to

371
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: do it, it was like there was two, if not three,

372
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: generations that were now doing it. And I from my observation,

373
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: I was just because it was also between when like

374
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: the Internet and people learning from like seeing way more

375
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: comics than just late night because of the Internet. To me,

376
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: I was just like, these people are so much funnier

377
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: like everybody. It's like, it felt to me like this

378
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: concentration where people are like learning from better and better people,

379
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: or at least observing better and better styles.

380
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 4: Kind of Yeah, well, it's the evolution of anything, just

381
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 4: like you see in sports where there's better athletes just

382
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: from people being able to watch, people being able to

383
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 4: learn technique from other people. And I think one of

384
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 4: the things the lessons I'm trying to take is that

385
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 4: like all the people who were inspired by me in

386
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 4: some way, and I'm not trying to say a bunch

387
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: of people were, but at least some people, uh, And

388
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 4: what I can then learn is like the twist off

389
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: of what they've done. And that's like fun to kind

390
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: of go, like, Okay, well, you guys can evolve off

391
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 4: of me, but I could still as long as I

392
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 4: don't get better, I can evolve off of you. Because

393
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: it's really fun to see kind of the shifts in

394
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 4: comedy going on right now, where like a lot of

395
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 4: people who are on top up right now as far

396
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: as getting like all the specials and all that stuff

397
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 4: are universally mostly being like mocked.

398
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: By the people on the ground floor.

399
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 4: And I know, and it's so fun to see that,

400
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 4: which I like because I you know, I'm a fan

401
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 4: of wrestling and of hip hop, and.

402
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: That's like how it always goes.

403
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 4: It's like these people come in as the rebels, they

404
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 4: become established, and then there's this other group, that younger

405
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 4: group that comes in and says you're lame now, And

406
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 4: that's fun to me.

407
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it keeps.

408
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: The pressure on a little bit. Also, I feel like

409
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: watching watching the younger people start and not have and

410
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: maybe this is part of what you're saying. But when

411
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: you are known, you don't have the pressure, and you

412
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: also don't know a bunch of stuff, so you can

413
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: you I think you feel freear, or at least you

414
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: your mind is freer. But then as you as you

415
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: kind of go along, you either fear or trying to

416
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: aim yourself, which is to me, I think a mistake

417
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: when you're like, oh, I'm going to do it this way,

418
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: this will be funnier. I was always wrong when I

419
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: did that, Like any kind of trying to get out

420
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: ahead of authenticity and plan was the worst, always the worst. Idea.

421
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: So it's kind of cool when you get to watch

422
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: other people that are like, oh, you're not even thinking

423
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: of that part. You're just truly trying to say the

424
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: funniest thing that you can think.

425
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 4: Of, right, I think, and I mean sounds like you

426
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 4: might have had something to say, Chris, I don't want

427
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 4: to interrupt.

428
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, go on, go on.

429
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 2: One of the things that.

430
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 4: I think it's fun about that, and not that I

431
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 4: would ever want to go back there. But like when

432
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 4: you before you have any hit of like success, then

433
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 4: you really kind of are like mining for gold. Right,

434
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 4: You're like, I'll try this, I'll try that, and then

435
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 4: if you get some positive reinforcement of acting a certain.

436
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: Way, a lot of people get locked in that. Right.

437
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 4: They go like, Okay, if this is how you wanted

438
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 4: me to act so that I got a paycheck, I'm

439
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 4: going to stay that way. And you know, and I've

440
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 4: always it's hard sometimes, but I listened to my intuition.

441
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: I listened to myself.

442
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 4: That's like no, like, you know, it's one of my

443
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 4: big reasons of getting healthy. And some people, and in

444
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 4: some cases they were right, they were like, oh, if

445
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 4: you lose this weight, people are going to look at

446
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 4: you differently as a character, and it's going to set

447
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 4: you back.

448
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 2: People aren't going to know who you are.

449
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 4: And in some cases, like the first six months of

450
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 4: people like when I was putting up posters of my

451
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 4: new self and people be like, I don't even I

452
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 4: don't know who that is, you know, And I'd be like, well, no,

453
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 4: they will put up in some I go to some

454
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 4: clubs and they were just using the old posters so

455
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 4: that they could say this is this guy. So it

456
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 4: was a little bit of that, but I was like,

457
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 4: I know, overall, the healthier I am, the more opportunities

458
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 4: I'm going to have, And this is just who I

459
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 4: want to be and what I want to do, and that.

460
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: Overall is what has gotten me success.

461
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 4: Is always like listening to myself and what I want

462
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 4: to do as opposed to I just think sometimes so

463
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 4: many people get a little bit of success and then

464
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: that makes them get serious about comedy when it should

465
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 4: still be just as still worst fun.

466
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yes self serious comics.

467
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

468
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like we've all done it a

469
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: little bit, but yeah, I did die. Also, it makes

470
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: me think that that kind of advice of like, oh,

471
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: if you if you lose weight, people can't recognize you.

472
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: It's like, but you'll have the same name and the

473
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: same voice and the same comedy style. Like that is

474
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: such an oversimplified basically saying, here's it's better if you

475
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: stay in a pigeon hole, which is always bullshit, like

476
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: or it's at least a very maybe sick people trying

477
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,199
Speaker 1: to be safe, Like, here's how to make sure to

478
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: never where it's like I think it'll be. I think

479
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: that risk is.

480
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 5: That's why I've given myself permission to maintain a slightly

481
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 5: less than athletic physick. I always, you know, my tendency

482
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 5: is to want to get very vany and ripped. But

483
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 5: then you got that Joe Piscopo syndrome where no one's

484
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 5: gonna think you're funny.

485
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: So I can't get those big muscles.

486
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 5: You know, it's just bad for comedy, and I have

487
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 5: sort of I'm kidding, of course, but I also agree

488
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 5: with what I'm saying. No one wants to see a

489
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 5: big muscley comedian. You gotta work extra hard, you gotta

490
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 5: be sillier.

491
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, that's true. Your different styles, Yeah, you can.

492
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: Only wear tank tops. I think if you're a weightlifting comedian. Yeah,

493
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: it restricts your wardrobe quite a bit.

494
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that can bring in people that can help.

495
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: True. Yeah, not in winter. There's a lot of people

496
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: out there start debating.

497
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, seasonal fans of arm comedy. I love summertime muscle comedy.

498
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 3: What kind of you do.

499
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: Quirky, winter soup comedy, winter swishy quirky?

500
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I.

501
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 4: Just think overall to you know, to be real about it,

502
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 4: like the job is often super unhealthy.

503
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

504
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 4: So that's the thing I've been noticing mostly is especially

505
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 4: now that I got my new son and I just

506
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 4: want to spend more time at home like that, I

507
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 4: just and then that I've been.

508
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 2: Trying to be healthy.

509
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 4: You know, I've made this goal for myself because you know,

510
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 4: you guys know me for a long time. So like,

511
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 4: you know, when at my heavy it was like three

512
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty pounds, and then I lost a bunch

513
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 4: away and then the pandemic and I put on like

514
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 4: thirty forty pounds, and so I just kind of made

515
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 4: this goal to myself of like I want to be

516
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 4: at my healthiest when I turn forty years old.

517
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: And I was.

518
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 4: Doing it and working on it, and then I go

519
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 4: out on tour and I just noticed like, oh, like

520
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 4: this is even if I'm trying even be like, oh

521
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 4: I'm packing a protein powder, I'm trying to order it

522
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 4: is that Like it was just by the end of

523
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 4: the week, it was so hard. I'm like, this job

524
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 4: is not good for my health and I have to

525
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 4: be really aware and balance. And then it really you know,

526
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 4: it's the first time where it felt like an athlete

527
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 4: where I'm like, oh, I can't do this forever, you know.

528
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

529
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were doing podcast on the road. We were

530
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: there was an era and I mean I gained so

531
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: much weight on the road because we didn't nobody wanted

532
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: to eat before, you know.

533
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: Like you sick, have to have chicken fingers, yes.

534
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: Chicken fingers on like mac and chee. I would always

535
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: be like, well, I'm gonna have a little treat and

536
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: have mac and cheese, and I like little treated myself

537
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: into gaining like forty pounds. But also because oftentimes you're

538
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: by yourself, so then it's like watching TV and you're

539
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: not gonna I mean, people do this, but it's like

540
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: ordering steamed broccoli and watching you know, forensics files is

541
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: it's just not as fun. There was a whole vibe

542
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: that like they don't go together. A couple of times,

543
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: remember picking up my stuff and going down and trying

544
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: to like walk around and find a gym just so

545
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that I got like a little bit

546
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: of cardioon that day. And I would just be wandering

547
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: around a hotel Like how like somebody that does this

548
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: on the road should make like a video series of

549
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: like here's what you can do. You figure out where

550
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: the gym is you like you know what I mean,

551
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, Just like break it down a little

552
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: bit more because it isn't easy and it isn't fun.

553
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 4: Now.

554
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 3: No, who was good for me opening for Greg Barren.

555
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 5: He not only did he tell me I didn't need

556
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 5: to drink before every show because I was nervous. The

557
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 5: next day, he'd be like, hey, we're going to the

558
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 5: gym early in the morning. He kind of forced me

559
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 5: to go, and for a while I was in my

560
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 5: own habit of doing that. Since gone off, we can

561
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 5: all blame the pandemic, but what.

562
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 4: I do with my openers, it's like it's almost weird.

563
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 4: It's a little cultish in a way, which I don't deny,

564
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 4: and I tell him, I'm like, hey, don't come if

565
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 4: you don't want to be involved. But they come and I,

566
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 4: you know, I make sure they get to the hotel

567
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,239
Speaker 4: and everything's taking care and I try to pay him

568
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 4: on top of stuff if I can.

569
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: But then they are.

570
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 4: Like, hey, you gotta come work out with me because

571
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 4: I need someone to go.

572
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: Work out with.

573
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: You gotta come eat if you if I'm paying for

574
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 4: your food, you can work and go eat healthy. If

575
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 4: you want to eat not healthy, you gotta go buy

576
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 4: that on your own.

577
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 2: But I will take care of you. Great. Here you eat,

578
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: but you got come eat what I meet.

579
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so that's been fun and it's been helpful

580
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 4: for some people, but then sometimes they get sick of it.

581
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 5: Is there is there any comment that was like I'm

582
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 5: not willing to do that.

583
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: I will not go to the gym.

584
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 4: No, not usually because I could tell them my front.

585
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 4: So I picked the right people. I mean, my friend

Speaker 4: figure a way around them, because she's truly amazing and

597
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 4: she's such a hard worker and I never have to

Speaker 4: You know. She talks like a pro wrestler talks about

613
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 4: regular stuff and it always makes me go like, oh yeah,

Speaker 4: I forget, like this is fun and life is fun

615
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 4: and cheeseburgers are good.

616
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

617
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, the simple joys in life we all take for granted.

618
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: It's fun.

619
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 5: When you have a friend that points them out all

620
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 5: the time, it's like, oh, yeah, you're right, these are

621
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 5: our best years.

Speaker 3: Good point.

623
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 5: That's why I saw recently. Yeah, ages forty to sixty

624
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 5: are like when a human is the most happiest.

625
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: That's what I'm really excited about, especially and you you know,

626
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,120

740
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: did you have any because I know it was super

741
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: boring and it was just so unprecedented, right, like no

742
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: one really knew. Uh, it's just such a weird time.

743
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: Was there any did you have any weird experiences or

744
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: any kind of like.

745
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: Mental breakdown well or epiphanies.

746
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: My example was going to be I woke up in

747
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the night one night and the house

748
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: three houses down from me was on fire, and it

749
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: was one of the weirdest, like all the firemen came, obviously,

750
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: but it was so it made a surreal thing. It

751
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: almost went so beyond being surreal that I was like, oh, okay,

752
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: everything's actually kind of regular still, because I'd been in

753
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: my house like a weird fish tank, you know, like

754
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 1: staring out the front window and looking at the beautiful

755
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: air because no one was driving, because no one was

756
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: going anywhere, and the valley was totally clear, and I

757
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: was just like, this is weird. I might lose my mind.

758
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: And then like this how was caught on fire? And

759
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: then I we all all the neighbors walked up and

760
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: watched it burn down, and it was all very like huh.

761
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: And then I went, oh, yeah, this is It's only

762
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: as weird as just the next normal thing that happens

763
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: outside of our house.

764
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, Yeah, I mean for me, I think

765
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 4: the beginning of the pandemic, you know, I think was

766
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 4: right around my birthday and I went to Hawaii to

767
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 4: go do the shows with my friends with Blair and

768
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 4: the Gabe and my wife who's my fiance at the time,

769
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 4: and we went to the Hawaii to go do shows.

770
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: And so as we're there, you know, we're like, oh,

771
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 4: we're gonna do the show on Saturday. We've been hearing

772
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 4: about this thing, and oh, but it's gonna be fine.

773
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 4: And then the next day we went out to dinner

774
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 4: for my birthday and it was great, but you hear

775
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 4: more and more people whispering. And then the next day

776
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 4: they were like, oh, we're canceling the show. We gotta

777
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 4: get flights home.

778
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: Wow. And we're like, we're out on the beach.

779
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 4: That kind of all is like setting it up, and

780
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 4: like I look over the left and everybody's on their

781
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 4: phone kind of freaking out and talking same thing to

782
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 4: the right. But then like when I just look out

783
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 4: at the beach and just see, like you know, you

784
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 4: can see like people swimming, and you can see the

785
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 4: tide rolling in and the sun and going on, and

786
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 4: it was just real, this thing of this feeling of

787
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 4: like just kind of thing where you have to like

788
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 4: forgive and go through things and just kind of not

789
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: thrash and like, oh the more I like move around

790
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 4: and freak out, the worst it is. But if I

791
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 4: look out and look at what things are going on

792
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 4: in the world, It's the thing I've often felt like

793
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 4: if I feel like, if I truly feel like anxiety

794
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 4: and stuff, like, I like to go outside and go

795
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 4: to like a dog park or whatever. And then because

796
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 4: I don't even have a dog, but just look at

797
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 4: dogs and like, if they're having fun and doing well,

798
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 4: you're like, well, just by nature, like everything is kind

799
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 4: of okay. Like if the internet and social media makes

800
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 4: me feel like everybody hates me or whatever, like.

801
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: Oh, well, these dogs are just playing had fun.

802
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 4: Yeah.

803
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 2: If the dog who freaking out hiding somewhere, did I know,

804
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 2: we got? Yeah, I got I go for the great right.

805
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: What if you were at the dog park and all

806
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: the dogs left, like all the dogs started running in

807
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: one direction, how fucking scary that would be.

808
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 2: I would freak out. I would go I wouldn't know

809
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: times were coming.

810
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: Follow those dogs.

811
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 5: Several times when I would go on walks and you'd

812
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 5: see parks like, uh, the little hiking trail near me

813
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 5: in Echo Park, everything was overgrown. The city wasn't cutting

814
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 5: down these weeds, and it was just flowers and owls

815
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 5: everywhere and animals. I wasn't even supposed to be in

816
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 5: the park. They had it roped off with like police tape.

817
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 5: But I broke the rules and walked alone in a park,

818
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 5: and I was comforted by the fact that, yes, the earth,

819
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 5: the world was continuing.

820
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 3: It was just humanity that was on hold.

821
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 5: And that includes and I still think about it because

822
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 5: there's all this violence sprouting up in certain cities like Chicago.

823
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 5: I noticed there's been a lot of murders. Everyone was

824
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 5: quarantining during that time. Even murderers were like, well, I'm

825
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 5: just going to read a book and you know, just

826
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 5: kind of get to know myself.

827
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: It just relax a little.

828
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's people.

829
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 5: That I'm scared of. But then you go out and

830
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 5: then the earth is still going.

831
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: It's like I love like the bad guy from seven

832
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: with his his creepy apartment and everything, but he's like,

833
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna Yeah, I haven't taken a day off

834
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: in years.

835
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm going to go.

836
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: Planning serial murders and relax in here a little bit.

837
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, do I want a murderer? Do I feel like

838
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: I just have to because this is what I've been doing.

839
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was nice for everyone to take a little

840
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 5: career break, including murderers.

841
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

842
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 4: That was the big one for me because you know,

843
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 4: most of my life I've just been defined by being

844
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 4: a stand up comedian. So to have that not be

845
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 4: there was a big old mental journey for me. Part

846
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 4: of the time, I was depressed, and it was difficult.

847
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 4: It was even difficult for my wife because she, you know,

848
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 4: originally she just tried to go to positive route of

849
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 4: being like, hey, we're lucky that you can afford to

850
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 4: stay home and you don't have to do these things

851
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 4: if you don't want to. And but for me, I

852
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 4: had to be like, hey, this is how I like.

853
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 4: If you ask me who.

854
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 2: I am, I'd be like, I'm a comedian.

855
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 4: And so to have to like adjust that and think

856
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 4: bigger than that for the first time in seventeen years

857
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 4: at that point, I'm very grateful for that because it

858
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 4: really changed the way that I looked at life, and

859
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 4: then it made me change the way I look at comedy,

860
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 4: which has been very helpful as far as me being

861
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 4: less competitive and less stressful and able to again enjoy

862
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 4: other comedians because I had reached a point where I

863
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 4: just saw all other comedians competition, and now it's it's

864
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 4: sometimes I can get that way and I have to

865
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 4: stop myself. But I'm more like especially not even just

866
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 4: like the pandemic, but then all the suicides that we

867
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 4: went through, we lost a lot of our friends. But

868
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 4: just to really sit back and be like, oh, I'm

869
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 4: grateful and lucky to be around such unique minds that

870
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 4: are funny, whether they're super successful or they're just super

871
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 4: funny or they just think differently, Like, it's just a

872
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 4: blessing to have to spend time and especially for free,

873
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 4: to get to watch people that like you know that

874
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 4: so many people pay to go watch or are just

875
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 4: maybe someone will never see, but I got to see

876
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 4: them and that is a blessing of a life. And

877
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 4: I mean, again, these are the things that Blair reminds

878
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 4: me of, is that we're just.

879
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 2: Lucky to see each other and be around each other

880
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: and do comedy.

881
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously I want to be friends with everybody

882
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 4: and hang out all day.

883
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: But you got to keep that competitive edge. I that

884
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: was the part of stand up I loved was I

885
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: had a lot of respect for the people I watched,

886
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: but then I also wanted to beat them, Like the idea,

887
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: I want to win this night, and I want to

888
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: get out there and get the biggest laughs. That's the

889
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: that's the fun part. And then whether I did or

890
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: not kind of didn't matter because it was just like

891
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: that's just a thing I have inside me, and I

892
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: get to try to satisfy.

893
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 4: That's real fun for me. I'm very competitive. Yeah, I

894
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 4: don't mean like it's just about like where I put it,

895
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 4: you know, Like I like to be competitive on stage

896
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 4: and then just put it away and not live with

897
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 4: that and worry about what somebody part somebody got or

898
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 4: if they got a show and I didn't get a show,

899
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 4: you know. But as far as like, yeah, you know

900
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 4: on stage, that's one of my favorite mantras to you.

901
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 4: It's just like I'm not better than you, but got

902
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 4: no fucking way are you better than me?

903
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 3: That's great? Yeah, it's funny.

904
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 5: I always I grew up telling myself I wasn't competitive,

905
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 5: just because I wasn't that into playing team sports. But

906
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 5: then I do miss like comedy contests like the Funniest

907
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 5: Person in Austin or the first few, like Comedy Central

908
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 5: type competitions. And that's when I realized, oh, I'm super competitive,

909
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 5: Like I want to win.

910
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 2: It's fun, it's fun.

911
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 4: Why not people, It's fun to play, and sometimes it's

912
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 4: fun to go through the feelings of losing. It just

913
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 4: makes you better, it makes you not want to feel

914
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 4: that again as long as you again, you know where

915
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 4: to put it, you know, And a lot for me

916
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 4: now it's led to these things like if you see

917
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 4: me do sets at the Improper Store, usually, like the

918
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 4: first five minutes of my act is just me making

919
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 4: fun of whoever went before me.

920
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 2: And I try to always be nice.

921
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 4: I'm never like they sucked or anything like that, because

922
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 4: usually they don't, you know, but I try to. If

923
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 4: I disagree about someone's joke or premise, I say it

924
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 4: and I talk about it and I have fun with it.

925
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 4: And it is competition for me, and I mean I

926
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 4: just have fun. I mean it's not a thing like

927
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of people like Tim Dillon. I

928
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 4: think he's a fun comedian and enjoyable of this podcast.

929
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 4: But like I did this show and it was a

930
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 4: lot of these podcasting people came to see him, you know,

931
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 4: and so like he's doing stuff, He's doing things, but

932
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 4: I was disagreeing with a lot of it. I'm just

933
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 4: politically a lot of just the whole this just a

934
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 4: vibe to me of like whether you're right or not

935
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 4: those type of things. Sometimes the way you put it

936
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 4: is like, well, yeah, uh, and you're just drumming to

937
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 4: acquire and you're just beating the drum and it's not

938
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,879
Speaker 4: really it's like for you know, like middle school philosophy.

939
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 4: To me, like yeah, we all thought this ship in

940
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 4: middle school, So don't I don't need that. Now, tell

941
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 4: me something a little bit more, tell me about you, you.

942
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 2: Know, And so that's what I say.

943
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, I didn't know the world sucked until

944
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 4: like I heard this set. I thought things were going good,

945
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 4: you know, like I heard gas prices was high, and

946
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 4: I thought my assistant was lying to me to try

947
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 4: to get more money from me, and you know, just

948
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 4: like that's something. And and then I just do this

949
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 4: whole bit. I was like, I don't even watch the news, like,

950
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 4: you know, and the news makes me sad.

951
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: What do I want to do? Just end up sad

952
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 2: and fat like Tim And.

953
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 4: Then they were like oh, and I'm like ire, like,

954
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 4: you guys are gonna owe me after watching that.

955
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 2: You can't watch him for fifteen minutes, everything apart. And

956
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 2: then when I call a sad fat man sad and.

957
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 3: Fat get mad at me.

958
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 5: You were just making it personal because your comedy is personal.

959
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 5: That's yeah, that's what you know to do. Yeah, that's

960
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 5: what I do.

961
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 2: And it was fun.

962
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 4: And then I still got them on my side, and

963
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 4: that's what makes it fun for me when I can

964
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 4: still get my point across not be disrespectful.

965
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 3: You know.

966
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 4: I wasn't like, oh, why'd you guys like this or

967
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 4: anything like that. Hey, I he's great, Well be great.

968
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 4: I disagree with this, this is what I say.

969
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's an interesting aspect of comedy competition.

970
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I never think of it that way.

971
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: I also I think him as a sorry I was

972
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: just gonna say to him as a comic. It feels

973
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: like he would love that ripah. Oh I always love that.

974
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I see him.

975
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 4: You know, we're not like we're friends or anything, but

976
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 4: like he's always respectful to me, and I'm respectful to him.

977
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 4: I am respectful of anybody that builds their own thing up.

978
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 4: I'm always a big fan of that. So I'm never

979
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 4: I just disagree with You can disagree with people so

980
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 4: as and I think our philosophies in life are different,

981
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 4: and so I just like to bring that. I'm just

982
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 4: getting better not being afraid to be myself and it

983
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 4: used to be okay, Like that's one thing I love

984
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 4: so much about milkdown and being at the back of

985
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 4: the comic book stories, like, oh, I can be one

986
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 4: hundred percent me, and now I'm really learning to still

987
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 4: be one hundred percent of me. At the comedy store,

988
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 4: at the improv at the Kansas City.

989
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 3: Its own category of comedy.

990
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, just wherever, I am just being more okay with

991
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 4: like what's gonna happen to me? The worst things that

992
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 4: happen is that people don't like me, you know, And

993
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 4: that's fine. My mom loves me, My mom thinks. My

994
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 4: mom tells me I'm the best man she ever met.

995
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 3: So where's your mom at.

996
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 2: She's an Arizona Arizona.

997
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: Oh I wonder how hot it isn't it?

998
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 4: Yeah?

999
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 5: You should go there right now and find out if

1000
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 5: it's one hundred and twelve.

1001
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 2: No, no, thank you, not a fan.

1002
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 1: Very similar to California. Yeah, I've been thinking about Arizona

1003
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: a lot lately, just because every time I walk outside,

1004
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, the reason I didn't move to Prescott

1005
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:53,919
Speaker 1: is because I don't want to live in what I'm

1006
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 1: living in right now, and yet here we are.

1007
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you still get more colors here. Everything

1008
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 4: is the same shade of brown there because they could.

1009
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 4: It's to reduce the heat, you know, but it makes

1010
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 4: everything look like dune to me.

1011
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 3: Or Yeah, I'm just starting to get the desert thing.

1012
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 3: But man, I am a bushes and grass type of dude.

1013
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 4: I don't get desert living. I think it is a

1014
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 4: front to God. Like, you know what, there's no water here,

1015
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 4: there's nothing here but lizards and cactus. But I feel

1016
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 4: like I should build housing here, Yeah, fountains and stuff.

1017
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 2: It's one thing I hate about Las Vegas.

1018
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 4: I'm just like, this is an unnatural place.

1019
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 5: Too much dirt. Do you miss like rain in Portland?

1020
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 5: Do you miss living in Portland?

1021
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 3: Sometimes?

1022
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 4: No, I don't usually miss anything. I like to just

1023
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 4: be wherever I'm at. It's just I mean, I don't

1024
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 4: mean to sound weird about it, but that's just the

1025
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 4: thing I try to live by. Of Course, I enjoyed

1026
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 4: my times, and it's fun to reminisce about it. But

1027
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 4: I go back and visit and then you know, he

1028
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 4: goes back lately and it wasn't the economic downturn there

1029
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 4: and then a lot of like extremism and strife and

1030
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 4: there it really made that it doesn't look like how

1031
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 4: I remember, And it's said it saddens.

1032
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: Me in that way.

1033
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 3: So just the rain, I mean the the rain in

1034
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 3: the water you jump.

1035
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: Back to Creek Falls.

1036
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 4: You don't mean the junkies in downtown Port yelling at

1037
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 4: each other.

1038
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 3: At least they're wet junkies sitting in a puddle.

1039
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 2: It was one whereas situation.

1040
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 4: I saw they appeared to be a couple and then

1041
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 4: this guy just turns to the lady and goes.

1042
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 2: Shut the fuck up. Punk, And I was like, Punk,

1043
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 2: that's the one you went with. I'm not you.

1044
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 4: I'm not saying I've never heard somebody yell at a lady,

1045
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 4: but they usually don't deny them their femininity.

1046
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 2: So I was like, this place is terrified.

1047
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: I saw we were sitting somewhere, and there was a

1048
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: guy who was walking up and down the street. And

1049
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 1: this was a while ago, actually, but he was walking

1050
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: up and down the street and he was chanting about

1051
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: how he had to kill the current president, who at

1052
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: the time I believe was Bush.

1053
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 2: When we were.

1054
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: There and it was like this, and it was this

1055
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: kind of thing where whoever I was sitting with her,

1056
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: I just remember both of us looking at each other

1057
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: and being like, we're not against this, Like this isn't

1058
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: the worst idea we've ever heard. A person who was

1059
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: clearly in a mental distress screaming at the top of

1060
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: his lungs up as he paces up and down the street.

1061
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 4: That's how I felt about January sixth. I'm like, man,

1062
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 4: they just got the wrong reasons.

1063
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1064
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 2: I like this, I like the aude.

1065
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 3: I liked some of the costumes.

1066
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: I remember when that that on TV when it actually happened. Well,

1067
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: first I saw it on Twitter and then turning on

1068
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: the TV, and it looked so dumb, like because they

1069
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: didn't it was all those shots from inside the house

1070
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: or whatever, so like there weren't any cameras pointed at

1071
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: that crowd outside, which where it was.

1072
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 5: It's so crazy guys taking paper out of a printer

1073
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 5: and throwing it in the air.

1074
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, we're.

1075
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 1: Like, what's this poorly planned buffalos doing?

1076
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was wild, so crazy, and it's so fun

1077
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 4: that they can now.

1078
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 2: They're just like, hey, could we not talk about it?

1079
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: They're so surprised to be going to federal prison for

1080
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: five and six and seven and eight years. They cannot

1081
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 1: believe it. They can't. It's it's crazy.

1082
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, never mind, it was just punishment for having a

1083
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 5: fun weekend.

1084
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so nuts.

1085
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 5: Have you been ron doing? How often are you doing

1086
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 5: commentary for wrestling matches?

1087
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 2: Are you? I'm not doing much anymore. It got weird. Yeah,

1088
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 2: it got weird for me so I stopped.

1089
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 3: Oh really Yeah did they not let you?

1090
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 5: I just know because I had to do commentary for

1091
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 5: Lucha Vavoum once. Oh I would still do that, Yeah, yeah,

1092
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 5: because there's comedy is welcome at that, Like you can

1093
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 5: make light of costumes and not know what you're talking about.

1094
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 5: In my case, I didn't know what I was talking about.

1095
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 5: But they're probably really serious about.

1096
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 2: It at they're super serious.

1097
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 4: It's one thing that I learned from getting into it

1098
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 4: and actually wrestling because some people were like telling me

1099
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 4: that I was going to be the detriment to all

1100
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 4: of wrestling and exposed to business because I'm going to

1101
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 4: have the worst match.

1102
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 2: Of all time.

1103
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 4: And it was just like, wow, why did you write

1104
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 4: this to me directly? Like you could just think this.

1105
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,959
Speaker 4: And I was like, people think comedy fans are sometimes

1106
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 4: you know a bit much, which is which can be,

1107
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 4: but in general, I was like, in the pales in

1108
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 4: comparison to pro wrestling fan.

1109
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, pro wrestling is serious. I had

1110
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: to do. I tried to do. Blaine asked me to

1111
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: do the Luchavomoom commentary, and I literally didn't say anything

1112
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: the whole night because what was happening in front of

1113
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: me was blowing my mind so fucking hard. I was

1114
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: literally just I could only be the audience.

1115
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 3: And are those guys never rich An Egg.

1116
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: It's just like it's just like my mouth was open,

1117
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: and then Blaine would riff and I'd be laughing at

1118
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: Blaine and I'd like, I was just at the show

1119
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: where I'm like, I can't think past the fact. What's

1120
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: that one guy that's like he comes out to the

1121
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: Pinacolada song and he's where he's like all sassy, like

1122
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: all the different characters and all the everything about it.

1123
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: I mean you, that's the thing about wrestling is such

1124
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: a show, show show, I mean, like every part of

1125
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: it is. For it's that entertainment where there's just.

1126
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 2: So many levels.

1127
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 4: There's like, right now, it's the most exciting time that

1128
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 4: you don't even know because there's like a whole soul.

1129
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 4: There's the wrestling, and then there's all the behind the

1130
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 4: scenes drama that goes on. And that's real fun too

1131
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 4: because they don't all get along with each other. But

1132
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 4: then they got up pretending and then like fake fighting

1133
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 4: not hurt.

1134
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 2: Each other, and that's what makes it so wild.

1135
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 4: And right now there's the whole thing where the champion

1136
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,280
Speaker 4: of the league hates the people who are the vice

1137
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 4: presidents of the company, and then they got in a

1138
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 4: fight and hit him in the face of the chair

1139
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 4: but for real, so that got real trouble. Yeah, and

1140
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 4: so now there's lots of going on.

1141
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 3: Did he think he had the special chair and he

1142
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 3: used a real chair?

1143
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Real chat.

1144
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:49,479
Speaker 3: That was a breakaway Baltimood chair.

1145
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 2: No, not this one.

1146
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:52,280
Speaker 1: Was it on camera?

1147
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 2: No?

1148
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 1: That was a real Okay, I'm sorry. A real fight

1149
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: happened at like the wrestling Headcoret and someone actually used

1150
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: to chair.

1151
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he were in the ring, let me break

1152
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 2: down the whole picture for you.

1153
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 3: And he hit McMahon or something. I don't know.

1154
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 2: Who knows. There's a different league, different league.

1155
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:13,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know the leagues.

1156
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 4: Okay, there's a guy named cm punk and sure used

1157
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 4: to work for the w W League and then he

1158
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 4: left and he did a podcast with his friend, and

1159
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 4: then that podcast led to him being sued for like

1160
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 4: a shit ton of money, and so he's mad at

1161
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 4: his friend, who basically, you know how I would see this, like,

1162
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,280
Speaker 4: hey man, you, if you was a real friend, maybe

1163
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 4: we shouldn't you would have told me we shouldn't put

1164
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 4: out their full lass podcast when I'm very emotional and

1165
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 4: just yeeling everything out, you know.

1166
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 2: And so then they had a big beef with each other,

1167
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 2: and then that friend got hired at this new wrestling league. First,

1168
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 2: but then he came in.

1169
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 4: He's a much bigger star than his friend, and that

1170
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 4: friend hadn't really been doing much, just hanging around in

1171
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 4: the background, having a match every now and again.

1172
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 2: But nothing much.

1173
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 4: So when the new guy comes in they may seeing

1174
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 4: Punk Champion, and then they they're like the boss guy's like, hey,

1175
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 4: I know you don't go you don't like this other guy.

1176
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 4: I'm probably just gonna get rid of him. But that guy,

1177
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 4: the other guy is friends with the vice presidents of

1178
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 4: the company.

1179
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 2: So then they.

1180
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 4: Were talking shit and talking trash and people were getting

1181
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 4: all mad and it was turning some of the fans

1182
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 4: against seeing Punk. So then at them show in Chicago

1183
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 4: that I went to seeing Punk, wins Championship sets up

1184
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 4: this big match against somebody else and then they do

1185
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 4: a press conference after and he's like forty and he's

1186
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 4: you could tell he hadn't been eating snacks or sweets

1187
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 4: before it, because he had like a whole box of

1188
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 4: muffins and stuff after a big event, like one would

1189
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 4: if you're trying to like get yourself together for a

1190
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 4: special or something, you know, And so he's eating muffins

1191
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 4: and he's mad and he just gets yelling about the vps.

1192
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 4: He's like, you guys have been talking trash about me,

1193
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 4: been leaking this information to the wrestling press and stuff.

1194
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 4: Because if you know, if you really want, you know,

1195
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 4: if you got a problem with me, you know where

1196
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 4: I am after the thing, and they really went to

1197
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 4: go find him.

1198
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 2: A lot fight and now he might be fired.

1199
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 3: And you were there.

1200
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 5: You you didn't see the fight necessarily, but you were

1201
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 5: there though.

1202
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 2: I was there.

1203
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 4: I tried to give backstage, and that the guy who

1204
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 4: was supposed to help me get backstage didn't return my text,

1205
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 4: so it issues go wrong.

1206
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 3: I love it.

1207
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: So there's the wrestling behind the wrestling, which usually you

1208
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: think is part of the wrestling, but there was actually real.

1209
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 4: But sometimes they make it part of the wrestling, So

1210
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 4: that's what makes it. That's again what makes it so

1211
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 4: much fun.

1212
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 5: It's always my favorite part to see their arguments in

1213
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 5: the hallway with bad lighting.

1214
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just love it. I'm a big fan of it.

1215
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 3: I know you are.

1216
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 5: I was going to go with you guys back in

1217
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 5: the day, but I still can. I have this whole

1218
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 5: future ahead of me.

1219
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: Once you become a lead singer of a band, right

1220
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: and you put out your double album at this picture

1221
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: of cover, you can decide whether or not you want

1222
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: to stick with singing or move over to wrestling.

1223
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 2: Will wrestle Manias in La this this this April, so

1224
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 2: like there'll be a whole week of just like lots

1225
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 2: of events, So that would be a good time if

1226
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 2: you need, if you need.

1227
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: Time to pray, read up on it a little bit. Yeah,

1228
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: to watch small videos.

1229
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 3: I can't just go in knowing nothing.

1230
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 2: It's hard.

1231
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 3: I got to choose a favorite.

1232
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: My dad's a lifelong wrestling fan and his dad, my grandpa,

1233
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: who was from Ireland, thought wrestling was real and so

1234
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: they would watch it was like Friday night fights or whatever.

1235
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 2: They and.

1236
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: My grandpa just took it all because he didn't have

1237
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: TV growing up, he didn't have anything, so like he

1238
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: would watch it and just be like, this is amazing,

1239
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: and he just took it all like at face value,

1240
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: which I totally love and so beautiful. It's the best.

1241
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the greatest. It wasn't he was

1242
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: a smart man or whatever, but he was just like,

1243
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: it's the fights, you know, this is just I'm taking

1244
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: what they're given. But you know Vince Abril, who he's

1245
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: a comic and a huge wrestling fan himself. He and

1246
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: my dad talk about it because my dad can name

1247
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: all these wrestlers from the fifties and the only one

1248
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: I can think of right now is gorgeous George but

1249
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: he knows like all those old old guys that of

1250
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: course Vince knows too, just from being like hardcore encyclopedia. Yeah,

1251
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: for real, it's just such an age old like you know,

1252
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,439
Speaker 1: I don't know is an American tradition.

1253
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,439
Speaker 2: I believe so, but yeah, I guess.

1254
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, to me, it's like Vaudeville and stuff like that,

1255
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 4: where it's like and stand up in a way where

1256
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 4: you're just like these are like the building blocks and entertainment,

1257
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 4: and a lot of times people make fun of it

1258
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 4: or they don't get it because they go, oh, it's fake.

1259
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 4: But it's like, to me, that's just so silliness because

1260
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 4: like all of it's fake. So like you know, every

1261
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 4: show you watch it's fake. So I don't I never

1262
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 4: really understood that.

1263
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:15,040
