Speaker 5: if you are seeing a girl who is pretty and
Speaker 5: then that girl just so happened to me being abused
Speaker 5: by her boyfriend, this is what I would be doing.
Speaker 5: And what is this this scenario they made up? Do
Speaker 5: you ever see those like the act where they like
Speaker 5: there's a scene.
Speaker 7: Now, No, because your point is you're exactly correct. I've
Speaker 7: only seen them when someone is making fun of them
Speaker 7: and respect bonding to them in a TikTok. Yeah, because
Speaker 7: so then they'll show them, you know, making fun of
Speaker 7: that person they fall off their stool or whatever.

Speaker 6: TikTok boy laugh. The only wait wait sorry, I was
Speaker 6: just gonna say, can you give Chris his four choices?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, of laugh, because I actually do want people to
Speaker 7: like me, and I do want it based on my
Speaker 7: laugh and my snort.
Speaker 1: People have been thinking that's forced.
Speaker 7: So I don't want to do the snort, just loud snort,
Speaker 7: So let me hear the.
Speaker 2: Well, let me try to do it naturally.
Speaker 5: So could you just go over the outline of the
Speaker 5: deer knee tongue.
Speaker 7: It's a good example of a very fun all the
Speaker 7: way through fun stories. So while we were talking, a
Speaker 7: baby deer just went by the window here with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's number one.
Speaker 7: And the mom is in the backyard, and mom's been
Speaker 7: in the neighborhood for a while.
Speaker 1: Her tongue is always permanently outed. It's just always there's

Speaker 1: Yeah. Number three. There's always somebody for someone out there.
Speaker 6: Mm hmmm, that is that TikToker was slowly getting choked. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that was his laugh, triple three.
Speaker 3: It felt like, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 7: That is the kind of thing you worry about when
Speaker 7: you're a kid. Though, to laugh your laugh is cool. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 7: I had.
Speaker 5: A friend who had a fake laugh and you go, oh,
Speaker 5: oh no, something's funny, not cool.
Speaker 6: Did he get that from Do you think that was like, oh,
Speaker 6: that's what the teenage mutant Ninja Turtles did or oh yeah,
Speaker 6: like from a movie or something.
Speaker 2: No, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 5: Because of being grown up in Alabama, everybody wanted to
Speaker 5: sound California like oh my friends, so we would do
Speaker 5: whatever we could, damask our accent, sir, and so he
Speaker 5: was really.
Speaker 2: Big on like, dude, that's absolutely wicked.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 7: That's what's funny. It's I noticed that in Boise, Idaho.
Speaker 7: I go to Boise, Idaho a lot, and everyone there
Speaker 7: kind of talks like an eighties surfer guy like no way,
Speaker 7: whoa And I'm like, wait a minute, are you currently
Speaker 7: farming for potatoes?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think you just sort of taught that that's
Speaker 2: the cool way to sound.
Speaker 6: Yeah, totally dude, Bill and Ted, the Bill and Ted
Speaker 6: dialect that's left. When I was a teenager, when the
Speaker 6: actual Valley Girl, when the song came out Moon Unit
Speaker 6: Zappa's song, which is actually genius if you re listened
Speaker 6: to it, and then the trend of talking like a
Speaker 6: quote unquote valley girls started. And this was like the
Speaker 6: early eighties, and everyone went from just regular to everyone
Speaker 6: had the most extreme crazy accent that that was from
Speaker 6: a song. It was kid came out of nowhere and
Speaker 6: suddenly everyone was talking like it.
Speaker 3: It made my parents insane.
Speaker 5: Wow, Yeah, it's so funny that people didn't sound like
Speaker 5: that before then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's except in La like in the Valley.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that song and then yeah the the uh.
Speaker 1: Way? What else started it from me? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I thought of it, but then I lost it anyway,
Speaker 7: Oh Specoli, Yeah that I wanted to sound like Specoli
Speaker 7: when I was young, and there was one there was
Speaker 7: an older group of guys and they did have skateboards
Speaker 7: and they they went to high school when my sister
Speaker 7: did though, so it was like mid eighties, and they
Speaker 7: had a Vokeswagon bus and they'd come spilling out of
Speaker 7: it with their skateboards. And I think I saw him
Speaker 7: once when I was a kid, and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 7: that's the.
Speaker 1: Life I want to lead.
Speaker 7: And we had a Vokeswagon bus and my father he's
Speaker 7: in the next room right there, and I hope you can.
Speaker 1: Hear me, Dad.
Speaker 7: I sold it ray when I got my driver's license
Speaker 7: and I.
Speaker 1: Got a Ford Escort wagon loser. I had a van, a.
Speaker 2: Big van that was my first.
Speaker 6: Set at all, buddy, like a Cono Line van exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in Florida'conna line and had bunk beds. Bought it.
Speaker 2: I bought it from my brother for five hundred bucks. Wow,
Speaker 2: and uh it was great. It had a big stencil
Speaker 2: of mister T on the side. There was inherited.
Speaker 1: I didn't wait, your brother had put that on there.
Speaker 2: That's Chris did or somebody else did.
Speaker 1: Or well your brother you have a cool older brother.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, he's in your special Yes, he's a he's
Speaker 7: a brother.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like one of the legends of my hometown.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But I'm stupid because my last name is Thomas, and
Speaker 5: so people at school, my teachers would call me mister T.
Speaker 5: A lot of the time, and I thought it was
Speaker 5: just because my last name is Thomas, and then I realized,
Speaker 5: oh yeah, there's this mister T Stencil and then yeah,
Speaker 5: that's why we call you mister T f cool.
Speaker 7: You know what, in your defense, the fact that you
Speaker 7: were your name, you know, your last name starts with
Speaker 7: a T, that's where I would go with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well not everyone.
Speaker 7: It's glued to the TV watching the A team, right,
Speaker 7: it's mister K's reading booked.
Speaker 3: And is that is your older brother? How you got
Speaker 3: into skateboarding?
Speaker 5: Went oh, yeah, yeah, he he was into all of
Speaker 5: the things. You know, penny Wise the band, not the clown.
Speaker 5: I mean he liked the clown too.
Speaker 2: We loved that clown, that creepy little guy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but the clown is in a lifestyle like Pennywise
Speaker 7: the band, right, the most boring.
Speaker 2: I saw it Anywise as like a more older guy,
Speaker 2: and I was like, this is what I like. It's
Speaker 2: just dudes in backwards hats going. This one is for
Speaker 2: all of your friends. You have to stay friends with
Speaker 2: your friends. These punk guys are obsessed with like.
Speaker 5: Your friends are your family, that kind of yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Know that kind of thing. And he got me into
Speaker 2: all pretty much everything I like.
Speaker 3: Now, you know how much older is he.
Speaker 2: He's five years older, So yeah, that's a good yab.
Speaker 5: I actually just realized, like in therapy of just like
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago, that something that I did
Speaker 5: because my brother was nice.
Speaker 2: Enough to let me hang out with him all the time.
Speaker 5: Him and all of his older friends go skating and
Speaker 5: surfing and go to shows and stuff. But they would
Speaker 5: make fun of me and sort of pick on me
Speaker 5: all the time because I was like a child. So
Speaker 5: I would do this thing, and my therapist only just
Speaker 5: recently told me that this is like a part was
Speaker 5: kind of like a problem.
Speaker 2: It makes a lot of.
Speaker 5: Sense, which is where I would get into the car
Speaker 5: and I would think of a thing for them to
Speaker 5: make fun of me about, and then I would say
Speaker 5: it in earnest, like as if it was true.
Speaker 2: So I'd get into the car and go.
Speaker 5: You know, it was the early two thousands, so there's
Speaker 5: a lot of homophobia back then. I'd get into the
Speaker 5: car and I would go, like, guys, I just want
Speaker 5: to suck all your dicks. They would spend the whole
Speaker 5: car ride making fun of me for saying that, and
Speaker 5: then looking back, you know, I was like, I'm in
Speaker 5: control of this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't realize that I'm in control.
Speaker 5: And my therapist was like, that's a problem, and that's
Speaker 5: probably that's why you're a stand up comedian.
Speaker 7: Oh, because I look at it and I'm like, wow,
Speaker 7: you were a smart kid. Your therapist to be like,
Speaker 7: you're even older, you should know better to me that
Speaker 7: I was going to say, good job.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're going through your head as a kid and
Speaker 6: going what's the worst thing, probably, what's the worst thing
Speaker 6: they can say to me, or what's the most you know,
Speaker 6: threatening or upsetting whatever, And.
Speaker 3: Then you say it first.
Speaker 6: Yeahfore it doesn't hurt, and that you know, anything they
Speaker 6: try to do doesn't care.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're in charge. I love it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the attention is almost My sister is six
Speaker 7: years older, and I also her friends all wanted to
Speaker 7: hang out with me, and I thought it was the
Speaker 7: coolest and they would fully dress me up in my
Speaker 7: grandma's clothing and do full makeup on my face and
Speaker 7: do my hair and it was the funnest. Actually, at
Speaker 7: no point was I embarrassed of those photos.
Speaker 1: There are photos where I look like a.
Speaker 7: Tiny little woman and like from my early age, and
Speaker 7: it was only memories of great times. I got to
Speaker 7: find some of those photos. I know we've talked about this, Karen,
Speaker 7: but there.
Speaker 1: Are yes we have.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've tried to get them from Yeah, it's only
Speaker 7: the third time I've mentioned it. I know we're in
Speaker 7: season two, but the season one was five years long
Speaker 7: with and I only have list in two year eight.
Speaker 7: I have seventeen stories and they all get better with age.
Speaker 5: I can't believe I didn't tell that story last time
Speaker 5: I was on the podcast five years ago.
Speaker 3: I know when we were in the car.
Speaker 6: But I think that is such a crucial I feel
Speaker 6: like I could always tell kids who didn't have older
Speaker 6: siblings or cousins or someone around them compared to people
Speaker 6: who did, because you get it's almost like they take
Speaker 6: you and they beat you up and they insult you,
Speaker 6: and you get kind of seasoned for like the social
Speaker 6: politics of school and you are not like you really
Speaker 6: do then have the thick skin or that whatever where
Speaker 6: you can like manage that stuff that I think when
Speaker 6: it hits kids, like when you're the oldest and you
Speaker 6: can't you don't have any of that. You're the one
Speaker 6: that's like setting the tone for the rest of your
Speaker 6: siblings or whatever, and then school is like this violent awakening.
Speaker 6: I always just was happy because I had cousins that
Speaker 6: were like eight and ten years older that we would
Speaker 6: try to get them to, like, please play war with us,
Speaker 6: please do this, and like even if they did agree,
Speaker 6: they would figure out a way to like hit you
Speaker 6: during the game as part of the game, or you
Speaker 6: know what I mean.
Speaker 3: There was always like that kind of thing.
Speaker 7: We're in the same army, Yeah, stop hitting me.
Speaker 3: I'm on your side.
Speaker 6: But I always just think it's I think it's such
Speaker 6: an advantage. Like my niece now is an only child,
Speaker 6: but she has she has like three older cousins, all
Speaker 6: girls that have been relentlessly mean to her since she
Speaker 6: was a baby. So like she has this kind of
Speaker 6: like who gives a shit, She just can handle shit
Speaker 6: so well, where me and my sister was like, wow,
Speaker 6: she was really cool about.
Speaker 3: That, and it's like, oh, that's right.
Speaker 6: We found they were playing a game one time and
Speaker 6: we went through to see like what.
Speaker 3: The names were.
Speaker 6: It was some computer game or something I can't remember,
Speaker 6: and the one of their one of the other older
Speaker 6: cousins team name was Nora Nora should die or something
Speaker 6: insanely violent against my niece, and we.
Speaker 3: Couldn't stop laughing because they all act.
Speaker 6: Like they're like sweet and cute to each other, but
Speaker 6: it's like, you know, the gloves are off when they're together,
Speaker 6: and then you get that kind of you get pre bullied.
Speaker 3: So bullying is not it isn't as much of an isshoe.
Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, you gotta get bumped on the head
Speaker 5: a couple of times before you go to school and
Speaker 5: steal some kids pencil or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they s't.
Speaker 2: Over, You're done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're really Yeah.
Speaker 7: Anytime I meet someone, even in an airport, and they're
Speaker 7: losing it because they're not getting their way, I want
Speaker 7: to yell only child.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But also when I see those people, I think that's
Speaker 5: that person is somehow happier than I'll ever be in
Speaker 5: my life. When they fucking scream at people. Screaming at
Speaker 5: airports is hilarious. Like, but I'm also they're tapped into
Speaker 5: like a.
Speaker 2: Level of uh are there.
Speaker 5: They lack the self awareness to like understand how they
Speaker 5: affect people, so they probably just sleep so peacefully every night,
Speaker 5: not really thinking about any of the mistakes.
Speaker 7: They yeah, because I've seen those people lose it and
Speaker 7: then later on they don't even realize it and they
Speaker 7: don't care that later on they're sitting on the airplane
Speaker 7: in front of everyone who just saw them. Yes, this
Speaker 7: is absolutely ridiculous, when it's like, it's not really ridiculous.
Speaker 7: You just don't maybe fly that often, but planes are
Speaker 7: canceled I would say sixty percent of the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty commons we did. And then they're sitting on
Speaker 1: the plane. Hey, so where are you going to don't
Speaker 1: try and talk to me. Everyone on here saw you
Speaker 1: lose it at the kiosk. You weirdo.
Speaker 3: You only child, You're already the big asshole.
Speaker 6: You're like the kid who threw up in grammar school,
Speaker 6: and you're just the kid who threw up for the
Speaker 6: rest of school. Like now you're on that plane and
Speaker 6: you're the dick who yelled about a.
Speaker 3: Thing no one can control. You're a child.
Speaker 5: I always wonder what they think they're gonna get from
Speaker 5: the flight attendant, Like what do you think this person
Speaker 5: is going to do for be able to do for you.
Speaker 7: The funny thing is, though I have seen it, where
Speaker 7: like I'm always like, well, I guess that's the way
Speaker 7: it goes.
Speaker 1: I'll miss my first show.
Speaker 7: Tonight, and uh, and you'd see someone else lose their mind,
Speaker 7: and they they times get what they want in the
Speaker 7: airport because they're like, let's just quiet this lunatic down.
Speaker 7: And so sometimes I'm like, you know what, maybe I
Speaker 7: should lose it and pound the desk and kick over
Speaker 7: some papers.
Speaker 6: I guess that'd be a karate Rick. You must have
Speaker 6: done that at one point. I can't imagine you haven't.
Speaker 6: You haven't had to.
Speaker 1: What do you What are you saying, Karen, I've.
Speaker 6: Seen you key things for much less reasoning.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't know why I'm so
Speaker 7: well behaved in the airport. Then you never yell God no,
Speaker 7: because there are people everywhere. If I could get alone
Speaker 7: with the person, oh, then I tell them come in.
Speaker 1: Could you come in the hallway with me?
Speaker 7: Pardon me, We'll just go in the This is ridiculous, ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Sorry I'm yelling. It's just no one's around. It's so freeing.
Speaker 6: I feel bad because the and we can use this
Speaker 6: to segue into how has your quarantine been? But I
Speaker 6: just read a thing about how now the places are
Speaker 6: trying to reopen. The clientele is so unbearable because no
Speaker 6: one has manners and everyone's.
Speaker 3: Kind of an asshole anymore.
Speaker 6: Like this this effect of all of us beings desocialized
Speaker 6: and isolated in our houses. Like now when people go
Speaker 6: out to dinner, they're just total assholes to the wait
Speaker 6: staff and the people that are like just trying to
Speaker 6: be there, like doing their best through while we're still
Speaker 6: in this global pandemic.
Speaker 3: It's so sad.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I have a trendy works at a bar
Speaker 5: and they said that also people are getting completely like
Speaker 5: sloshed drunk by seven pm and then yeah, like trying
Speaker 5: to drive home, Like people just don't know how to
Speaker 5: live outside anymore. And I did go to a restaurant
Speaker 5: recently and they said, like, when I made the reservation,
Speaker 5: we only have two employees, so don't be rude. That's
Speaker 5: a kind of a nice thing, but it's like, what
Speaker 5: what how did they have to get there? But people
Speaker 5: have probably been so.
Speaker 7: Mean, Yeah to where it was part of the telephone
Speaker 7: reservation announcements.
Speaker 1: Don't be mean to our two people.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's kind of like, you know the same reason
Speaker 7: people odeon heroin, You take a break off and you
Speaker 7: forget how much you know, your body isn't used to it,
Speaker 7: and so everyone's like, I can drink again, and they
Speaker 7: get I've done all these shows where everyone's not only
Speaker 7: are they drunk, they're around people for the first time,
Speaker 7: and they forget how to act.
Speaker 1: They're like disruptive.
Speaker 7: But I accept it because I'm like, I'm just happy
Speaker 7: there's an audience.
Speaker 1: Say you go ahead, treat me terribly, do what you will.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 6: I'm sure that first buzz, like when you're you know,
Speaker 6: one and a half drinks hits you and someone's up
Speaker 6: there making jokes and you're standing in the dark again.
Speaker 3: You're like, it's a real life.
Speaker 6: Like That's the reason I'm an alcoholic is because I
Speaker 6: have lots of friends who are like, you get kind
Speaker 6: of buzzed and then you're like yeah and you stop there,
Speaker 6: and it's like that's that's the engine for me to
Speaker 6: start going where it's like we're gonna.
Speaker 3: Have the best night of our lives. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 3: it's Wednesday.
Speaker 7: Yeah, the way things are going, it can only get better.
Speaker 7: Bottoms up, let's do this blackout. How was your quarantine?
Speaker 6: Wit? Did you have h what what are some of
Speaker 6: your observations now that we're a year and a half in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I look considerably older. My hair turned gray, truly.
Speaker 5: That's the main thing I keep thinking about, is that
Speaker 5: why my hair turned gray in a year I turned
Speaker 5: to I aged twice two years.
Speaker 7: It's just sun it's highlight. You were out side, you
Speaker 7: were skateboarding. The sun lightens your hair.
Speaker 1: It's a gray light. I think you're going gray.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I aged two full years. At
Speaker 5: the beginning of Lockdown. I was like, Okay, my comedy
Speaker 5: special came out like a week about a week before Lockdown,
Speaker 5: and as it, oh, wow, here comes my life. It's
Speaker 5: about the change. And I had all these door dates
Speaker 5: and ship and then you know, they whatever, they all
Speaker 5: got canceled. But and then, you know, it became kind
Speaker 5: of awkward to tell people like this national international crisis
Speaker 5: but hey check this, hope you got a subscribe to HBO.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but.
Speaker 3: So true.
Speaker 5: So that took a few months of me like kind
Speaker 5: of getting out of my head. It like stopped being
Speaker 5: kind of not to be a brat, but just trying.
Speaker 2: Really hard to not be bummed out about that. You know,
Speaker 2: a lot of lockdown was.
Speaker 5: Just like people thrive on the Internet and kind of
Speaker 5: go and like, how the fuck I gotta figure out
Speaker 5: how to do that, and then realizing like dang, and
Speaker 5: I don't know how to do that, or fuck, I've
Speaker 5: spent forever trying to figure out how to be a
Speaker 5: musician and a comedian and now I got to know
Speaker 5: how to be good at the fucking internet.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 6: That really that is such a That's a good news
Speaker 6: story in and of itself, because I heard so many
Speaker 6: people talk about how much they loved your comedy special
Speaker 6: with and talked about how special it was and how
Speaker 6: different and cool, and I feel like that is such
Speaker 6: a rip off your right to you get to be
Speaker 6: bummed and you get to be a brat. Yeah, because
Speaker 6: you deserve all the attention and applause and all those
Speaker 6: articles that you know, I'm sure you're imagining thumbing through
Speaker 6: or whatever, and like you really do deserve it, and uh,
Speaker 6: you know, hopefully there'll be some kind of weird second
Speaker 6: life for it, because you're right, that's there's a whole
Speaker 6: bunch of stuff that just got it just got disappeared
Speaker 6: into the news cycle of oh holy shit, this is
Speaker 6: there's a new horrible thing happening, Like it's such a
Speaker 6: shitty thing to have to like to be a victim of.
Speaker 6: But the cool thing is, first of all, you're on
Speaker 6: HBO and secondly it's for it's for fucking ever, so
Speaker 6: like we can recommend it and like things can happen,
Speaker 6: you never know, but it is such a good special
Speaker 6: you're It was amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 7: And we there were times where because we were driving
Speaker 7: back then, we would drive by Whitmer had billboards in
Speaker 7: Los Angeles Like that had to be to see a
Speaker 7: billboard if you're special with you on, it had to
Speaker 7: be pretty exciting. But at the same time, that's right
Speaker 7: when you're like, damn it, this is the billboards there.
Speaker 7: No one's driving by it because they're at home watering.
Speaker 5: It was really funny because they got stuck up on
Speaker 5: They were up for like, yeah months because COVID, but
Speaker 5: no one was driving in LA.
Speaker 2: It was awesome.
Speaker 5: It felt like I am legend, no traffic, nobody on
Speaker 5: the streets, and it was kind of symbolic for me
Speaker 5: feeling kind of like I've always felt like an outsider,
Speaker 5: you know, like I don't belong And then finally I
Speaker 5: have a billboard just alone on Sunset and Algorado, the
Speaker 5: most prominent like east side billboard, and I have it,
Speaker 5: but like nobody's driving by, and I was like, this
Speaker 5: kind of works for my narrative.
Speaker 6: It's also a good you know, it's a good new
Speaker 6: chunk because god damn, you know, like, I'm sure you're
Speaker 6: going to be able to write some jokes about because
Speaker 6: that's real pain, and that's like a really shitty kind
Speaker 6: of injustice that you know. I think the best comedians
Speaker 6: when stuff like that goes on. It's just like and
Speaker 6: now you have a new five minute chunk, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Empty my billboard with no eyes on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fucking rip off.
Speaker 7: I think I think Parent's right. I think you just
Speaker 7: we got you a new bit, right. The billboard from
Speaker 7: I am Legend very relatable.
Speaker 6: Yeah you know that thing where when you work really
Speaker 6: hard and you finally get a comedy special. Yeah, people like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've all tried for that in this audience.
Speaker 5: No, but yeah no, I mean I was like spinning out,
Speaker 5: but then I stopped caring.
Speaker 2: I was just, you know what, who fucking cares?
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm okay at least I can pay my rent and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well there were stages of us all dealing with
Speaker 7: this thing, and I was having the same thing, I mean,
Speaker 7: not similar. I didn't have billboards, but I put mine
Speaker 7: out right at the beginning too, and I've canceled my
Speaker 7: tour also, And I was like, so you feel selfish
Speaker 7: when you're worried about your thing, but then the next
Speaker 7: stage is you know, whatever it is for you.
Speaker 5: But then you saw the psychopads who were just acting
Speaker 5: like it was.
Speaker 1: Happening, and yeah, yeah, and especially.
Speaker 5: Into June and July with the Black Lives Matter protests
Speaker 5: and stuff, people who were just like going about their
Speaker 5: lives and posting like that my impression of a person
Speaker 5: who doesn't know what a table.
Speaker 2: Is or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, fuck these buckets, psychopaths.
Speaker 1: What is happening?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, fuck out of here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got serious.
Speaker 6: I mean, but also for both of you, I think
Speaker 6: that it's that horrible lesson of show business, which is
Speaker 6: like every you guys leveled up and you got to
Speaker 6: this next level and you had already made up in
Speaker 6: your mind what was going to be like, and you
Speaker 6: can absolutely rest assured anytime you're in that position, show
Speaker 6: business is going to be like guess what doing something
Speaker 6: else like that's you know, there's people, really successful people
Speaker 6: and really talented people who have years of stories like
Speaker 6: that of like oh I my pen was on the
Speaker 6: paper to sign to be the lead in this blah
Speaker 6: blah blah. Yeah yeah, and then whoever called and said
Speaker 6: I'd like to do it instead. I mean that's this
Speaker 6: town is, you know, is paved with broken dreams, and
Speaker 6: you're like that you're both in the game, you know
Speaker 6: what I mean. It's like you're both in it. You
Speaker 6: can't get your heart broken if you're not in it.
Speaker 3: So it's good. It's good to have a broken Yeah.
Speaker 7: I've always I've always said I'm not excited about something
Speaker 7: till the actual check for having done it is in
Speaker 7: my pocket. But in this case, you know, if there's
Speaker 7: a pandemic, that doesn't even matter either.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh shit, I didn't factor that in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was hard.
Speaker 5: I couldn't even imagine a pandemic. I didn't even when
Speaker 5: people were like COVID, I.
Speaker 2: Was like, who's a what's a corona?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what you're talking about.
Speaker 6: I remember reading the article and sending my friends the
Speaker 6: article because we had just all had lunch together and
Speaker 6: we were making some plan like, oh, we should do
Speaker 6: this once a month or something like that, and then
Speaker 6: I just sent everyone the article that was one of
Speaker 6: the first ones of like mysterious you know virus the
Speaker 6: coming out of the wu han Uh. I was gonna say, Delta, sorry,
Speaker 6: the you know whatever province, whatever it was, and sending
Speaker 6: that article and being like, too bad, we can't meet
Speaker 6: next month because our eyes are going to be bleeding
Speaker 6: or something like that. Because every time I've seen a
Speaker 6: thing like this kind of start, like stars or bird
Speaker 6: flu or there's been things like that that have threatened
Speaker 6: over the years. So I just was like, it's just
Speaker 6: going to be another thing like that that they just
Speaker 6: kind of like handle and keep out and we'll all
Speaker 6: be fine.
Speaker 3: And as we.
Speaker 1: Know, it is not that. Do you guys know? Andy
Speaker 1: Smith is.
Speaker 6: The stand up comments Yeah, and she's great, but she
Speaker 6: also did like my the album, the layout for my
Speaker 6: first album and stuff.
Speaker 7: She's she was working at rooftop, but I've known her
Speaker 7: a while and she out of no eye. I had
Speaker 7: heard in the background mentions of everything, but she sent
Speaker 7: me on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Like you have to.
Speaker 7: Tape a grid in your house and stay six feet
Speaker 7: away from people. I thought she was going crazy. She
Speaker 7: listed everything that was to be announced not for another
Speaker 7: couple months, and I was like, I am so sorry.
Speaker 7: I kind of don't know what you're talking about, and
Speaker 7: I don't believe. And then I asked everything start happening.
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, okay, genius with a crystal ball.
Speaker 1: How did you know?
Speaker 7: She was warning me way early on and I still
Speaker 7: haven't followed up to one thank her or to how
Speaker 7: did you know that?
Speaker 3: Because I bet she's related to a doctor.
Speaker 6: I bet you or something, because my sister has the
Speaker 6: same kind of connection where my sister sent me the N.
Speaker 3: Forty five or fifty for whatever. The mask.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was telling me about the masks.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, my sister sent me the masks in February
Speaker 6: because she has a friend, you know, like that she
Speaker 6: has a close related doctor who was just kind of
Speaker 6: like out of the side of their mouth being like,
Speaker 6: get ready for this, do this, make sure you have this,
Speaker 6: which is just the creepiest. But I want to say
Speaker 6: this really quick. Andy Smith, I'm sure she still does comedy. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's truly one of the best stand ups.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 3: I love watching her stand up if you've never seen her.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and yeah, that's first and foremost. I just also,
Speaker 7: she happens to be a good graphic designer and made
Speaker 7: my album art.
Speaker 3: But and she tried to save your life. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: need to text her.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 7: I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually didn't even
Speaker 7: answer the last one. Sorry, I'm a little busy right
Speaker 7: now dealing with the things you were warning me about.
Speaker 6: We should we should actually have her on. That's you
Speaker 6: should text her and say be on the show's sorry.
Speaker 6: Now we're just doing Yeah, we're doing a little business.
Speaker 6: It's just sitting there like, excuse me, I have other
Speaker 6: projects to discuss.
Speaker 2: Yes, projects.
Speaker 1: You started skateboarding more during.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I started.
Speaker 5: Skating all the time, me and Chris have gone during COVID.
Speaker 5: I guess maybe that was on the other end of it,
Speaker 5: but like, I got better at skating than I've ever been,
Speaker 5: saing grace for my mental health.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and started playing a lot of music. At one
Speaker 2: point I was like, I don't think I'm going to
Speaker 2: do comedy ever.
Speaker 5: Again, and then I write, you know, obviously things opened
Speaker 5: started to open back up, and I did one show
Speaker 5: like two weeks ago, and I was like, oh, never mind,
Speaker 5: I like that is my favorite thing in the world.
Speaker 7: It takes one show and it's like, oh, I forgot
Speaker 7: this is part of my identity, right yeah, right.
Speaker 6: Now are you doing Sorry to ask this question, but
Speaker 6: now I'm being serious. Are you doing TikTok chalker characters
Speaker 6: on stage? Rusions of TikTokers on stage?
Speaker 2: Maybe I should do that?
Speaker 6: Please start absolutely, Just let people know I want to write.
Speaker 6: I want to write this bit with you. Be like,
Speaker 6: I know not everyone's on TikTok. It's kind of young,
Speaker 6: so I'm just gonna let you know the stuff that's
Speaker 6: going on on TikTok.
Speaker 1: That's a great idea.
Speaker 6: The guy that does here's ways to laugh and be direct.
Speaker 6: That's so funny and stupid.
Speaker 5: I need my hair to grow a little bit longer
Speaker 5: because they have these like really perfect bangs. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's like, ah man, it's it's pretty bleak. So scrolling
Speaker 5: through TikTok is pretty bleak. But then every now and
Speaker 5: you'll you'll get like a baby.
Speaker 2: With cheese stuck on its face.
Speaker 5: And then you scroll for like another hour until you
Speaker 5: get to like, go that's stuck in a market.
Speaker 7: Yeah, any anything stuck on a baby or an animal
Speaker 7: you like. I realize the videos I've liked the most
Speaker 7: lately are TikTok. And it doesn't have to be a
Speaker 7: dance or a lip sync or a kid with bangs
Speaker 7: teaching out to laugh to girls. There's some pretty I
Speaker 7: gotta get on there. I'm gonna get TikTok. I swear.
Speaker 6: Here's can I just tell you? Yeah, I'll just write
Speaker 6: bits for everybody. Here's yours for TikTok. Get your ass
Speaker 6: out in that front yard and take videos of Bambi.
Speaker 3: With her tongue out with the babies. Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: that's all That's.
Speaker 6: All you need in a in a viral video. Yeah no,
Speaker 6: it's like an interesting tongue out animal.
Speaker 7: And all I've been doing is little Instagram videos of
Speaker 7: like here's a deer outside my window and that's I
Speaker 7: don't add any comedy. Who am I?
Speaker 1: Who do I know? What do you want them?
Speaker 2: You want tongue out?
Speaker 5: And yeah for you, you got that song that's like
Speaker 5: look at your phone, the song you put that onto? TikTok. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we'll start making videos. Young girl, a seventeen year old.
Speaker 5: Girls will start making videos about being bored and then
Speaker 5: having to look at their phone, and then your song
Speaker 5: will become a chart topping hit, because that's all how
Speaker 5: all music becomes popular now is they'll pay these TikTokers
Speaker 5: to make videos of you're right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 7: Like the day that Bo Burnham special came. He has
Speaker 7: some Jeffrey Bezos song that is a catchy. All the
Speaker 7: songs are good. I actually really like his special.
Speaker 3: He writes great songs, really really good.
Speaker 7: I saw that song being used all over TikTok like
Speaker 7: within the week.
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Bezos.
Speaker 7: Yeah, come on, Jeffrey, you can do it.
Speaker 1: It's pretty great. Yeah, yeah, you're right. What's right?
Speaker 6: What's right with your permission to take my song on
Speaker 6: there and be the first seventeen year old girl that
Speaker 6: does it and then start the you start the trend.
Speaker 3: Okay, you're the only TikToker I know.
Speaker 1: You're right.
Speaker 7: Right, you're in the process of doing a music album
Speaker 7: right with Yeah, I'm in.
Speaker 2: The recording studio, so we're taking a week off.
Speaker 5: But I'm right now, that's what I've been doing it
Speaker 5: just like Yeah, my friend Melina is producing it.
Speaker 2: She goes performs under the moniker.
Speaker 5: Jay som and she's producing it. But yeah, So a
Speaker 5: lot of what happened is like I just started writing
Speaker 5: a lot of music, some of it more comedy leading and.
Speaker 2: Some not, you know, not too different than what I
Speaker 2: already do.
Speaker 5: But yeah, but I stopped with like synthesizer music because
Speaker 5: that music was fun to write, knowing that I would
Speaker 5: then be going on tour, Yeah, going to you.
Speaker 2: Are dancing and stuff to it, but.
Speaker 5: Writing that like alone in my room is not as fun.
Speaker 5: It was more depressing than anything.
Speaker 2: So I just kind of went back to just playing like.
Speaker 5: Guitar, and that's more the vibe of the new music.
Speaker 5: And that's why I was very great that I had
Speaker 5: that because and then the lockdown happened. Because to be honest,
Speaker 5: if I would have gone on tour right at the
Speaker 5: beginning of Lockdown, I probably would have just done a
Speaker 5: bunch of half written jokes and songs, and maybe people
Speaker 5: would have gone maybe not, I don't know. Maybe people
Speaker 5: would have been like, it's not this didn't seem very
Speaker 5: well thought out or planned.
Speaker 2: But because of.
Speaker 5: COVID, I kind of had to sit and really like
Speaker 5: think about, oh what I would do.
Speaker 7: You wouldn't have gone out and done the material from
Speaker 7: the Golden One.
Speaker 5: No, And that was kind of a weird realization, is like,
Speaker 5: oh wait, because I'm the people who put out my
Speaker 5: music are called there the labels called hard the Art,
Speaker 5: and they don't. They've never done a comedy album, and
Speaker 5: so they were like, hold up, you don't.
Speaker 2: You performed, Now you go.
Speaker 5: On tour and do the Golden One. I was like, no,
Speaker 5: that's not how comedy works. I already burned it. I
Speaker 5: did it, already came out, and they were like, damn it,
Speaker 5: we're planning on like you going out and supporting this album.
Speaker 2: I don't think people want to hear it again.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know wh I think you can do.
Speaker 7: You don't you want With comedy, I really do like
Speaker 7: if it if you know, people are going to like it.
Speaker 7: I don't think as comics we think people are going
Speaker 7: to get mad if it's something that they heard on
Speaker 7: an album. But if it that soon after, you spe
Speaker 7: you can keep doing that stuff. You don't have to.
Speaker 7: I'm telling this to you and to me, you don't
Speaker 7: have to retire all that material.
Speaker 6: Especially with music, because the mus the music part is
Speaker 6: a different. Yeah, the experience is different and so yes,
Speaker 6: it's good to always be like push yourself and always
Speaker 6: be making new stuff. But like those people, especially now,
Speaker 6: it's the perfect setup because the people that did see
Speaker 6: the special or didn't get to engage in it in
Speaker 6: any way, it's like, it's this that's the second chance.
Speaker 1: And that is the different part with me.
Speaker 7: I want to hear those songs you did on your special, yeah,
Speaker 7: and I don't want you to retire them. So see,
Speaker 7: now you have all this new material because we just
Speaker 7: gave you permission to keep doing it. That's what I
Speaker 7: was fishing for yeaheah, well you just got a big
Speaker 7: old bass.
Speaker 3: That's your new album, Fishing for Permission.
Speaker 6: That's a great that's pretty good, good one. Thanks, thanks
Speaker 6: love permission. Sorry I did the accent. That's no right, hey,
Speaker 6: that's not right to do to a Southerner.
Speaker 1: That's what fisherman sound like. They sound in southern no
Speaker 1: matter where they're from.
Speaker 2: Every time I.
Speaker 5: Do it with my southern accent, I'll goough like, hey 'all,
Speaker 5: what's everybody doing, which is just kind of my voice,
Speaker 5: but in southern mom like, don't go down there.
Speaker 2: That's what I used to sound like.
Speaker 5: The reason I stopped having a southern accent is like
Speaker 5: a real one. It is because when I saw a
Speaker 5: video of myself when I was like fourteen is escape
Speaker 5: video and I'm trying to get my buddy to allie
Speaker 5: off of the loading.
Speaker 2: Doc and I go, dude, just do it. Don't they
Speaker 2: have the itch? And I was like that was I
Speaker 2: heard my voice and I was like, I can't talk.
Speaker 1: I gotta fix this.
Speaker 5: But so anytime I do it that voice, people will
Speaker 5: comment online. They'll be like, you're doing Zach alf and
Speaker 5: akiss or It's like, oh, you're.
Speaker 2: Doing Seth guf Naxason.
Speaker 5: It's like it's funny that the well, I guess he
Speaker 5: does that on this TV show too. But the high
Speaker 5: pitched sounnn guy Chip, Yeah, yeah, his high pitched sounden
Speaker 5: guy is absolutely reserved. It's like his thing, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 5: And it's wild because there's a lot of people who
Speaker 5: sound like that, and that's what you're good is because
Speaker 5: it's so relatable. But I'm like, holy shit, Like if
Speaker 5: I just sounded like my natural voice, like if I
Speaker 5: would have never altered my accent growing up, I was
Speaker 5: just sound like Chip.
Speaker 6: You should grow you should grow a big beard, just
Speaker 6: be doing Zach directly like they're going to say it anyway,
Speaker 6: do it?
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I remember the first time I saw a stand up
Speaker 6: set when I very first started.
Speaker 3: It was like the third time I had done stand.
Speaker 6: Up, and my voice was pitched up like this, like
Speaker 6: it's that thing I see people do it all the time,
Speaker 6: men and women, where you kind of pitch your voice
Speaker 6: up as if to say please, don't hurt me, like hey,
Speaker 6: what do you guys like this thing or whatever. And
Speaker 6: then soon after that video where I was like, I
Speaker 6: can't believe I talked like I almost sounded like like I.
Speaker 3: Was in high school or younger.
Speaker 6: And then I saw Jenny Grofflow on Half Hour Comedy Hour,
Speaker 6: and she her whole thing was this, and so then
Speaker 6: I started talking as deeply as I could without like
Speaker 6: basically hurting my throat because it was like, oh, that's
Speaker 6: what I want to be like her. I don't want
Speaker 6: to be like you know whatever I thought, I naturally was.
Speaker 5: Like, I mean, dude, if you want to see a
Speaker 5: guy flailing, you gotta watch videos of me.
Speaker 2: When I was in Australia, I did like.
Speaker 5: Some like late night Australia sets, and I was bombing
Speaker 5: all over the place in Australia, not having any good shows,
Speaker 5: and so I started doing an impression of an American
Speaker 5: but like thinking like okay, just be really confident, sort
Speaker 5: of lean into that you're from Alabama, like be big
Speaker 5: and like don't basically don't be yourself at all. And
Speaker 5: it's so fucking embarrassing. It's like, eikes, it's really weird.
Speaker 5: For all your listeners. If you see these videos, just
Speaker 5: know that I know.
Speaker 3: Well, what are you supposed to do?
Speaker 6: Like here's the thing that makes me think of when
Speaker 6: I did colleges when I first moved to LA I
Speaker 6: did colleges for money, and that's all I did was
Speaker 6: eat it.
Speaker 3: And I remember like I had gone.
Speaker 6: And done one and it was so terrible, and it
Speaker 6: was I didn't have enough material.
Speaker 3: I wasn't good enough.
Speaker 6: For like you know, a bunch of nineteen year olds
Speaker 6: who think they know everything or whatever. And I remember
Speaker 6: coming back and being in a full panic and being
Speaker 6: at a party with a bunch of comics and they're
Speaker 6: like people were telling me I could take entire chunks
Speaker 6: of theirs that They're like, yeah, just do whatever you want,
Speaker 6: like just survive, like get through it because this is
Speaker 6: like no one gives a shit. I remember Karen Anderson
Speaker 6: being like, you can take that whole chunk if you wanted,
Speaker 6: because I was telling her about talking about a similar
Speaker 6: thing out of pure panic of just like going on
Speaker 6: to a similar topic.
Speaker 3: She goes, take that whole chunk. I don't care, Like.
Speaker 6: You know, it's a thing of like when you're alone
Speaker 6: touring and eating it consistently, there's nothing worse than the world.
Speaker 3: Whatever people end up doing.
Speaker 6: It's like, I'm sure that's how a lot of people
Speaker 6: ended up being ventriloquists or like you know what I mean,
Speaker 6: like a magic a comic that also does magic, because
Speaker 6: like it's you're truly dying.
Speaker 3: On stage, like you you're fighting for your life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a nightmare.
Speaker 5: It was awful, and I'm glad there's like documented evidence
Speaker 5: of Like me, it was just like really struggling.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm getting quiet, realizing with myself that I've I've
Speaker 7: been doing stand up a lot, kind of saying to myself, well,
Speaker 7: I'm going to win them over with my reggae chunk.
Speaker 1: I just kind of realized what was happening, that's my magic.
Speaker 1: On a cruise ship.
Speaker 3: It works though, Christ.
Speaker 7: You know what, I can't deny that after I do it,
Speaker 7: I feel it's like getting baptized or getting dipped into
Speaker 7: an ice bath or whatever. Do I feel terrific afterwards
Speaker 7: when I do reggae for people, and I'm all sweaty
Speaker 7: because I'm nervous.
Speaker 1: I'm really putting myself.
Speaker 7: Out there because oh yeah, it's a misappropriation of a
Speaker 7: whole culture. So that puts my back against the wall.
Speaker 7: I'm like, if I say the wrong thing or make
Speaker 7: fun of it in the wrong way, I'm really in trouble.
Speaker 7: So at the end, my back's all sweaty. I love
Speaker 7: reggae music. I would not have said that a couple
Speaker 7: of years ago.
Speaker 6: See, to congratulate both of you, because what you're saying
Speaker 6: is when you're eating it or when you're in a
Speaker 6: pinch on stage, what you do is you try, and
Speaker 6: you put in an effort, and you're like, what kind
Speaker 6: of show do you want?
Speaker 3: Then I'll give you what you want.
Speaker 6: Whereas when I start to eat it on stage, I
Speaker 6: like to then begin to kind of hold.
Speaker 3: Forth on how comedy is dead, and I.
Speaker 6: Just like to shut the entire fucking evening down.
Speaker 3: I like that, I might as well turn the lights out.
Speaker 1: So shit it too. It's so shitty.
Speaker 7: No, Like, I love what I've seen you do that
Speaker 7: when you had your show with Aprol the improv, and
Speaker 7: I'm like, yeah, I want to do that too, And
Speaker 7: then I go on stage in a bad mood.
Speaker 1: Here here's something Karen didn't mention. Audiences are dead. I
Speaker 1: wish that's one.
Speaker 5: That's what I like now about playing music because people
Speaker 5: are just sort of forced to clap and then you
Speaker 5: gotta go yeah, that's it. Yeah, doing bits like elaborate
Speaker 5: sort of bits that involve a prop people feel guilty
Speaker 5: and you.
Speaker 8: Know they got it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you got to get out of there. Yes,
Speaker 2: that's awesome, that's it. That's so cool.
Speaker 6: You're they're totally trapped and they have to regard you.
Speaker 6: I mean, that's the that's the thing that you said. So, Chris,
Speaker 6: was the hardest thing for me when I would do
Speaker 6: my songs was starting the song and knowing this isn't
Speaker 6: going to be over for like three minutes. Yeah, and
Speaker 6: every one's just gonna listen to me the whole time,
Speaker 6: maybe hopefully laugh, but for the most part, I'm they
Speaker 6: just have to listen.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, it's very.
Speaker 7: Difficult if you're used to laughs, I guess, but I
Speaker 7: did just listen. I would just listen to you and
Speaker 7: and to Wit because they're you guys actually make good songs,
Speaker 7: and I don't listen to music. I like and laugh
Speaker 7: at them, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: That's you know, yeah, I know what you mean.
Speaker 5: And sometimes I'm like a lot of the greatest musicians
Speaker 5: if they were to tell stories in between their songs,
Speaker 5: just a quick little anecdote about what they're about to sing, Yeah,
Speaker 5: those songs would then become like the greatest comedy songs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like.
Speaker 5: That nothing but flowers by talking heads. Like if David
Speaker 5: Byrne was like, what's why that was there walking around
Speaker 5: on a parking lot or walking around a field and no,
Speaker 5: there's a pizza hut, had some joke.
Speaker 1: About it, and then he was like and then he
Speaker 1: wiggled his news.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sometimes have you ever.
Speaker 5: Seen one of those guys with huge shoulders and a
Speaker 5: small head that's called back of All Time? Later he
Speaker 5: shows up, like all of these people, if they just
Speaker 5: did stand.
Speaker 7: Up, they they showman told Troy, yeah, told a little
Speaker 7: talking after the chorus and that's all.
Speaker 5: You know, what, do you ever feel that heaven is
Speaker 5: a place where nothing ever really happened.
Speaker 6: I like David Byrn talks out of the side of
Speaker 6: his mouth as a comic, He's one of the more
Speaker 6: subtle stand up comics.
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, you know, well.
Speaker 5: Imagine still I feel guilty about playing music and gen
Speaker 5: people are going to listen to this song for three.
Speaker 2: Minutes and there I like expected him to clap.
Speaker 5: But imagine being one of those comedians where your whole
Speaker 5: thing is that you have like a hot take about.
Speaker 2: Feminism or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think there's a reason, you know what feminism.
Speaker 2: And it's like that guy is delusional.
Speaker 5: He's like, I'm gonna I've got such a good idea
Speaker 5: that I'm going to make people listen to it, and
Speaker 5: people do those.
Speaker 6: The thing people love it all of comedy. It's all
Speaker 6: of comedy right now.
Speaker 2: That's comedy right now.
Speaker 5: Though, like the comedians who are really like top top
Speaker 5: of their game, uh, the big guys are mostly just.
Speaker 2: Kind of complaining.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like that's a lot of what like the most
Speaker 5: successful comedy in the last few years is just people
Speaker 5: just like kind.
Speaker 2: Of crying into a microphone that you're strong. They look strong.
Speaker 6: They're streaming on on four different channels talking about how
Speaker 6: they've been silent, ironic complaining.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's a future comedy. We have to complain
Speaker 7: more and start lifting weights with.
Speaker 6: Yeah, be fun boys, beef fus, It's time to beef up.
Speaker 7: It's Karen Whitmer skates with this one of my favorite
Speaker 7: skateboarders that kind of took a break and then came
Speaker 7: back and he does a lot of it.
Speaker 1: And then Whitmer.
Speaker 7: Skating with a Spanky Long all the time, and I'm
Speaker 7: like super jealous. So one day I was skate in
Speaker 7: this curb spot and Spanky was there. It was just
Speaker 7: me and him and some other guy taking pictures of him,
Speaker 7: and I just went up to him and I was like,
Speaker 7: I'm friends with Whittmer. He's like, oh, yeah, that guy's great,
Speaker 7: and I'm like, yeah, say you later.
Speaker 2: He told me about that.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well maybe it wasn't that awkward.
Speaker 7: I did explain why I was bothering him, but uh, yeah,
Speaker 7: that that guy.
Speaker 2: Well he's so nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's a nice status.
Speaker 7: Skate are exciting, but trust me, from my perspective, it
Speaker 7: was very awkward, and I just said I'm friends with
Speaker 7: with bye, and then I went back and said, sorry,
Speaker 7: that was weird. Uh, my name's Chris, No, did you Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 7: well we were skate circled back around. We were skating
Speaker 7: the same spot otherwise, I okay. I then stand next
Speaker 7: to him and be like, remember a minute ago, never mind,
Speaker 7: I can't look at you, sir.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to eat in this restaurant. Yeah, please move away.
Speaker 1: And he skates with that Tim Robinson who put it.
Speaker 7: He's got the new episode of I think you should
Speaker 7: leave that guy.
Speaker 3: You see it.
Speaker 7: It's very good at skateboarding and very good. Yeah he
Speaker 7: does front sight flips, big ones.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's he's great.
Speaker 7: You get the impression he doesn't skate that often, he's
Speaker 7: just got that ability.
Speaker 5: Or oh no, he skates a lot. He skates a lot,
Speaker 5: few times a week.
Speaker 7: Okay, now, okay, for a while I needed to hear that. Yeah,
Speaker 7: yeah that's what everyone dead. Everyone's coming back.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love great about COVID.
Speaker 3: I get to make this return.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 6: Tim Robinson is so funny, yeah, and so good and
Speaker 6: I think you should leave is so fucking funny and insane.
Speaker 3: It's just and I love how much people love it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like people are people just love it.
Speaker 6: Like my friend called me after it premiered and wanted
Speaker 6: to talk about coffin Flop like it's.
Speaker 3: A you know what I mean, It's like a real thing.
Speaker 6: And he's so deserving of that kind of total devotion,
Speaker 6: Like he's such a good guy, cool guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, he's funny like nobody else's. And the
Speaker 5: other day I was talking to nobody, like, so many
Speaker 5: people are gonna start copying Tim Robinson now because.
Speaker 7: He's the first seeing it, already seen it show that
Speaker 7: is like purely silly guys.
Speaker 5: But then I was I started to continued to think,
Speaker 5: and I was like, that's probably okay. Yeah, people just
Speaker 5: going full blown silly again.
Speaker 2: It's like that's kind of nice.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, totally it is. Yeah, I've already seen it.
Speaker 7: I've seen a lot just on people's videos. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 7: that guy's trying really hard to be Jim Robinson right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but if he inspires people to be like dumb asses,
Speaker 5: than hell.
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, that sketch that started with him spoiler
Speaker 6: alert with a hot dog hidden up his sleeve trying
Speaker 6: to eat it eating it's just.
Speaker 1: Like I'm in that sketch. Yeah, it's really Yeah, it
Speaker 1: doesn't work.
Speaker 2: I don't look like myself.
Speaker 3: No, is your hair slicked back or something?
Speaker 5: My hair slicked down and like very perfect, perfectly combed,
Speaker 5: and I'm wearing like business man.
Speaker 7: I got so excited that I'm like that you brought
Speaker 7: up the hot dog sleeve and I was like.
Speaker 1: What's in that ship? And okay, he'll say it, say it?
Speaker 6: Can I just say for one secon and that I
Speaker 6: thought this second we started talking about this, I thought
Speaker 6: maybe I remember that you were in it, But then
Speaker 6: I know Andrew Mashawn is in it, and I was like,
Speaker 6: are you are you mixing up the young blonde comedians
Speaker 6: that you know, Like, don't.
Speaker 1: You don't be that person?
Speaker 7: Are you confusing yourself with and the other skateboarder?
Speaker 6: So how did you you wanted to give us a
Speaker 6: little background? Were you friends with him or what? How
Speaker 6: did you get into that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: On that part, well, you know, I'm barely in it
Speaker 5: for a hot minute, and you're not the only person
Speaker 5: who's like, tell me about that sketch.
Speaker 8: And then I'm like, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: That that's you, and then they like they go and
Speaker 5: pose it on me and they're like, this doesn't look
Speaker 5: anything like you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have.
Speaker 5: This effect where if like I wear glasses or if
Speaker 5: I comb my hair. To be honest, I don't even
Speaker 5: have blonde hair. I have brown hair, but people see
Speaker 5: me as having blonde hair all the time. They like,
Speaker 5: imagine me with blonde hair. So but most of the
Speaker 5: time usually, you know, like every gathering I go to,
Speaker 5: someone will come up to me and be like, did.
Speaker 2: You dye your hair brown?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh that's there's just I have.
Speaker 2: This effect to where like I'm a complete stranger.
Speaker 1: Right all the time.
Speaker 6: So that's because you're a good actor, because you're a very,
Speaker 6: very good actor.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not being sarcastic.
Speaker 6: I saw that movie that you made, that short film
Speaker 6: where you were the creepy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that my my friend's mom or what's it called
Speaker 7: my daughter's boyfriend, my daughter's boyfriends.
Speaker 6: I was so close friends my friend, my daughter's boyfriend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's confusing it with the blink song.
Speaker 6: I was just surprised when I saw that. I think
Speaker 6: I told you this already, but when I saw that
Speaker 6: that you really are a great actor to the point
Speaker 6: where I think you're right in that like neutrality is
Speaker 6: kind of the key because then you're just going in
Speaker 6: like I didn't recognize you because as I know, he
Speaker 6: wouldn't be in a boardroom, right, why would he be
Speaker 6: at a marketing meeting or whatever that meeting was.
Speaker 5: That's true, And now I totally feel it and I
Speaker 5: got casts because probably because I'm friends with Tama. To
Speaker 5: be honest, I don't know. He didn't text me about
Speaker 5: or anything. I it's the cat, you know, to aid
Speaker 5: my agent, It's like, yeah, do want this, but I'm
Speaker 5: I'm not seen for like most of the sketch until
Speaker 5: I have a line. My whole sided table is and
Speaker 5: I'm worried that that that is because I was laughing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, scare.
Speaker 5: It's so funny through the entire shoot, even when the
Speaker 5: camera wasn't on me.
Speaker 2: When it was on me, I was I was like,
Speaker 2: how are the fuck are they gonna cut wells together? You?
Speaker 7: It takes a comic to know how to play the
Speaker 7: other side of a sketch like that. And that's when
Speaker 7: I noticed about the first season or even the his
Speaker 7: characters thing. I was like right away, it's like God,
Speaker 7: the supporting cast of all these sketches is so good
Speaker 7: at playing the straight man that clearly they are also
Speaker 7: funny enough to realize, Oh, I have to just earnestly
Speaker 7: react like I don't know if I'm I'm explaining that correctly,
Speaker 7: but that I've I've been impressed with everyone in that show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I felt really unprofessional because all of the
Speaker 5: other actors in that were real actors, and they maybe
Speaker 5: some of them were Tim's friends, are you know, fellow comedians,
Speaker 5: but like they were playing they.
Speaker 1: Were not laughing, Yeah, as I was.
Speaker 5: But I was sat right across from him and was
Speaker 5: looking at the ship of the hot Dog.
Speaker 1: Do you not laugh?
Speaker 3: How do you not laugh at that?
Speaker 2: And he kept.
Speaker 5: Looking at something that's not in it, and I don't
Speaker 5: think he cares that I say, but he kept looking at.
Speaker 2: Me or whoever was around and going, this is a
Speaker 2: really good meeting.
Speaker 1: That is so fun.
Speaker 2: This is one of the best meetings I've ever been to.
Speaker 3: He's truly my favorite, so good.
Speaker 7: I watched that with my nieces and when he was
Speaker 7: walking with his eyes I didn't quite get it when
Speaker 7: his arm was good and my nieces were like, oh
Speaker 7: my god, the hot dog's.
Speaker 1: In his sleeve. That's like what I was like, Yeah.
Speaker 7: Oh god, yeah, yeah, so delightful. Yeah, good for kids.
Speaker 7: It's my point, my sixteen year old niece, since they
Speaker 7: loved it.
Speaker 1: Oh I bet yes.
Speaker 2: If I was like a child when this came out
Speaker 2: and I would be obsessed with it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, yeah, big time, because it is that. It's
Speaker 6: like there's it's all things. It's like they're really good concept.
Speaker 6: Like just the concept of a sketch of a guy
Speaker 6: that was trying to eat a hot dog during an
Speaker 6: important meeting is.
Speaker 1: So funny and stupid.
Speaker 3: And then of.
Speaker 6: Course the extreme, he takes it to the extreme. He
Speaker 6: takes everything too. Everything becomes like a mud pie and yeah,
Speaker 6: shit in this and whatever. And it's just like it's
Speaker 6: the feeling of like when your parents are having a
Speaker 6: dinner party downstairs, when all the kids are in a
Speaker 6: room upstairs and you start like running around or whatever
Speaker 6: and there's no supervision until everyone's kind of out of
Speaker 6: their mind. That's what it makes me feel like when
Speaker 6: I'm watching it, and how it feels what I'm laughing
Speaker 6: at it is just like we're gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 6: It's just hysteria almost it's so good.
Speaker 2: I love that stuff.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love that silliness too, but also yeah again, Nut,
Speaker 7: I just want to bring it back to your special
Speaker 7: I actually watched that and I was like tearing up.
Speaker 1: It's so like heartfelt and serious.
Speaker 7: Sometimes I think that, so then of course we're going
Speaker 7: to appreciate straight up silliness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where my line that I prefer that.
Speaker 5: As far as me making comedy goes, it's like I've
Speaker 5: found sort of that.
Speaker 2: Like I'm there.
Speaker 8: I am the opposite and mysterious as a comedian there
Speaker 8: as a artist, like I just want people to want like, Okay,
Speaker 8: I'm writing this, Let's see if I can teach people
Speaker 8: everything about me in three minutes.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And I don't.
Speaker 5: I'm not one of those guys who is able to
Speaker 5: like go on stage and I have to tell people
Speaker 5: that like my parents my dad's split and my mom
Speaker 5: is dead, and then also let me sprinkle in a
Speaker 5: joke about how.
Speaker 2: I fucking clog the toilet or something like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but like first I have to kind of oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: this is to teach people a little bit about me.
Speaker 1: We're all part of that.
Speaker 7: We all are part of the Dead Mom's Club. That's
Speaker 7: that's what a cool meeting. Yeah you're not, but someone
Speaker 7: could do that and you could tell they're doing it
Speaker 7: as a You're just naturally open, so it doesn't come
Speaker 7: off like I got to mention this and this and this.
Speaker 1: You're just that's what you talk about. It's great.
Speaker 6: Oh so it's a style It makes me think of
Speaker 6: like when you guys used to host that show at
Speaker 6: that Black Power that Power Violence.
Speaker 3: That feels like it was twenty years ago. But it's this.
Speaker 3: It is a style of it's.
Speaker 6: Like deconstructing stand up in a way where it's like, right,
Speaker 6: I'm about to do this and everything, but also I'm
Speaker 6: going to do what I want. It's very punk rock
Speaker 6: skateboardy kind of it's I always have that tendency. Or
Speaker 6: it's like, right, I walked out here, you clapped for
Speaker 6: three more seconds, then you're clapping died down. You're expecting
Speaker 6: me to do this thing. I am not going to
Speaker 6: do that because you need to know that I'm in
Speaker 6: charge and this is my fucking fifteen minutes and I
Speaker 6: don't care to do the things everyone else is doing.
Speaker 6: And like they're to me that is it's kind of
Speaker 6: an esthetic in stand up where there's some people who
Speaker 6: are like that it automatically means you're not good at
Speaker 6: stand up comedy, and it's like, no, it's I think
Speaker 6: there's something else going on That's like it makes me
Speaker 6: more excited because I'm like fucking up my own set
Speaker 6: before i start, yeah, or going, I'm going to set
Speaker 6: this page.
Speaker 3: That is a different thing.
Speaker 6: It's going to be more personal, it's going to be
Speaker 6: more casual, and it's my pace.
Speaker 3: I'm going to have the guts to set it. And
Speaker 3: I think it's you know, it's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I just like putting on.
Speaker 5: A show like I honestly, a lot of times, I
Speaker 5: don't you know, I don't really care if it's super funny.
Speaker 5: When I'm watching somebody, I just want to feel like
Speaker 5: I was like super entertained, and I'm like, I'm not
Speaker 5: looking for like they had fourteen perfectly crafted jokes.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I just kind.
Speaker 5: Of want to be like super entertained, which I think
Speaker 5: is why sometimes it's really fun to watch a friend bomb.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And power violence like that was like probably ten years ago, when.
Speaker 7: Well you were you kept doing it at the Satellite,
Speaker 7: which unfortunately is closed.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that show got really big.
Speaker 5: Well that was like we got lucky because we just
Speaker 5: didn't know what we were doing.
Speaker 2: We were a band and then everybody made fun of us.
Speaker 5: Looking back, we were so confident because y'all were headlining
Speaker 5: comedians who made a living in comedy, and we were
Speaker 5: so brave to be like, hey, Chris, here's we're gonna
Speaker 5: give you some chalk and would you for like ten
Speaker 5: minutes draw things?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was it. And then yeah it was fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah I canot about.
Speaker 2: I have a photo of that somewhere, just like drawing.
Speaker 5: And then Karen would be like, you have to pick
Speaker 5: which one of us to go out on a date with.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I remember that Drew pictures.
Speaker 6: I still have one of those pictures makes me laugh
Speaker 6: so hard because whoever drew my eyes are really big
Speaker 6: and my boobs are really round. It almost looks like
Speaker 6: someone used like a peanut buttered jar.
Speaker 3: It just it was just like.
Speaker 6: That was that was my favorite I've never comedy is
Speaker 6: always has always been so painful to me or so
Speaker 6: like h and that was like I remember standing on
Speaker 6: stage and just being like, this is a whole new
Speaker 6: generation of comedy where like people are truly romancing you
Speaker 6: as you're doing your set before or after, so hilarious.
Speaker 1: Totally.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we would do like we did a
Speaker 5: bit where we gave our friend Clay a bath on
Speaker 5: stage with Doctor Pepper at the beginning of the show,
Speaker 5: and so the whole floor was like sticky faery And
Speaker 5: I think about it and laugh all the time because
Speaker 5: Natasha Leazeiro went out after that and her high heels
Speaker 5: were sticking to the stage and she didn't watch the
Speaker 5: beginning because she was backstage, and she was like.
Speaker 7: What is wrong with the floor, And then never was
Speaker 7: laughing at her for not watching the beginning of the show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so I now every time I'm sitting backstage,
Speaker 5: I look at the stage and I look at the
Speaker 5: comedian on the stage, and I imagine if their feet.
Speaker 2: Were danced to the floor so hard, Like we didn't
Speaker 2: have it.
Speaker 5: We didn't think about that at all, Like what the
Speaker 5: what if the comic who's like really trying.
Speaker 2: To work out their material for their job is annoyed
Speaker 2: because their feet are sticking.
Speaker 6: Nah, then that's sad for that comic because their job
Speaker 6: is to have their feet stuck to the floor and
Speaker 6: say something funny about it, like.
Speaker 2: Well, she wasn't she was totally cool.
Speaker 6: But yeah, she's thinking about the funniest. She's probably just
Speaker 6: pissed about her her shoes getting dirty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, probably nice shoes. You really fucked up those
Speaker 1: shoes with.
Speaker 6: Yeah, expensive, expensive, expensive shoes.
Speaker 7: Well when do you When do you think or I
Speaker 7: don't know. Do you know when you're going to be
Speaker 7: done with your album? Your music album we're working on.
Speaker 2: Oh, probably by the end of August. We're just we're
Speaker 2: just so cool.
Speaker 5: For more little days, sprink. We got to record some
Speaker 5: drums and some extra vocals.
Speaker 7: Well everyone should look out for that, because with the
Speaker 7: songs on Your Special, I really like they were in
Speaker 7: my head for a long time. They're really good. It
Speaker 7: was like, I don't know what you would conce sinth
Speaker 7: the synth. I'm not saying it because of the synth,
Speaker 7: but they reminded me of what do you I hate
