WEBVTT - The Season with Peter Schrager: Jared Freid 0:00:07.266 --> 0:00:09.706 The Season with Peter Scheger is a production of the 0:00:09.786 --> 0:00:25.426 NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, everybody, Welcome to 0:00:25.506 --> 0:00:28.506 the season with Peter Schrager. We are in the thick 0:00:28.546 --> 0:00:30.986 of it in the NFL preseason now. Every single team 0:00:31.026 --> 0:00:34.266 has played and as we record this, there was a 0:00:34.306 --> 0:00:38.466 flurry of action around the NFL yesterday and I want 0:00:38.506 --> 0:00:40.986 to hit two of the key moves, the first one 0:00:41.106 --> 0:00:44.706 being Dalvin Cook signing with the New York Jets. 0:00:44.746 --> 0:00:46.546 I think everyone's immediate reaction. 0:00:46.426 --> 0:00:48.746 Was like, oh, okay, wow, like they're there, and what's 0:00:48.746 --> 0:00:51.986 that mean about breethol I can tell you this, Dalvin 0:00:51.986 --> 0:00:52.626 Cook is going to be. 0:00:52.626 --> 0:00:53.626 A part of a committee. 0:00:53.746 --> 0:00:56.266 They're going to rotate who hands the ball, and they're 0:00:56.306 --> 0:00:58.866 going to ride the hot hand when it's appropriate. Dalvin 0:00:58.866 --> 0:01:01.466 Cook is a nice to have, not a need to have. 0:01:02.106 --> 0:01:04.186 Speaking with my Jets sources over the last several weeks, 0:01:04.186 --> 0:01:05.306 they were always very interested. 0:01:05.066 --> 0:01:05.706 In Dalvin Cook. 0:01:05.946 --> 0:01:08.866 In fact, they brought him to practice a couple Sundays 0:01:08.866 --> 0:01:10.386 ago and it was the practice that I happened to 0:01:10.386 --> 0:01:13.546 be at and they let him just walk freely. Basically, 0:01:13.586 --> 0:01:15.866 everybody want be in the state in the building, on 0:01:15.986 --> 0:01:18.946 the field talk to whoever. And he was there tapping 0:01:19.026 --> 0:01:21.306 up the coaches and dapping up Rogers and Heyan Rodgers 0:01:21.346 --> 0:01:24.506 spoke for a while, but my big takeaway was watching him. 0:01:24.706 --> 0:01:28.986 He was basically chaperoned by Woody Johnson and Christopher Johnson. 0:01:28.746 --> 0:01:30.426 Are the two owners of the team. I thought it 0:01:30.466 --> 0:01:31.306 was interesting. 0:01:30.986 --> 0:01:34.826 Because at the same time Dalvin Cook is talking with 0:01:34.826 --> 0:01:37.586 the Dolphins and at the same time Dalvin Cook is 0:01:37.586 --> 0:01:40.346 talking to the Broncos. These are AFC rivals, one of 0:01:40.346 --> 0:01:42.546 them in the division, one of them in the AFC West, 0:01:42.586 --> 0:01:45.146 and I'm wondering what in the heck is going on, 0:01:45.266 --> 0:01:48.026 And I thought it was interesting. The Jets guys told 0:01:48.066 --> 0:01:51.506 me they wanted Dalvin to get a feel for what's 0:01:51.546 --> 0:01:53.706 going on here, that they are really confident in the 0:01:53.786 --> 0:01:57.106 vibe and that there is a contagious factor to the 0:01:57.226 --> 0:01:59.706 energy that this team has right now. And they thought, 0:02:00.106 --> 0:02:02.426 if Dalvin's considering us and it's gonna be us for 0:02:02.426 --> 0:02:05.386 his other teams, let him know what he could have 0:02:05.506 --> 0:02:08.986 if he joins this school here. In the end, that 0:02:09.146 --> 0:02:11.306 energy was unreal that day. That was the day that 0:02:11.346 --> 0:02:13.026 Alan Lazard caught a touchdown in the back of the 0:02:13.106 --> 0:02:15.866 end zone fans were there channing Aaron Rodgers and it 0:02:15.906 --> 0:02:18.146 was that back to Football weekend with the NFL, and 0:02:18.186 --> 0:02:21.666 the juice was electric and the numbers worked out. I 0:02:21.706 --> 0:02:25.506 think eight point six million, But to be completely candid, 0:02:25.866 --> 0:02:28.586 it's more than I expected him having as a max contract. 0:02:28.586 --> 0:02:30.306 It's seven base and then he can make one point 0:02:30.346 --> 0:02:30.866 six more. 0:02:31.226 --> 0:02:32.186 I thought that this late in. 0:02:32.146 --> 0:02:34.866 The game August fourteenth, there wasn't a long line of 0:02:34.906 --> 0:02:37.226 suitors who were bidding for him, that maybe you would 0:02:37.226 --> 0:02:39.346 have to take a discount. That is not a discount, 0:02:39.706 --> 0:02:43.626 yes against nineteen ninety five, rationally speaking running back to 0:02:43.626 --> 0:02:47.826 other positions maybe, but in twenty twenty three and August fifteenth, 0:02:47.866 --> 0:02:49.706 to sign a deal for eight point six million dollars 0:02:49.746 --> 0:02:51.586 of a running back when you're not necessarily the number 0:02:51.626 --> 0:02:53.266 one guy, that's pretty good money. 0:02:53.306 --> 0:02:54.386 So how is he going to be used? 0:02:55.186 --> 0:02:59.506 I think Breas Hall is still still targeted for a 0:02:59.546 --> 0:03:01.906 Week one and I think he and Breshall both are 0:03:01.906 --> 0:03:03.306 going to get featured in a lot of ways. And 0:03:03.346 --> 0:03:05.106 I still think Brishall might be the number one guy. 0:03:05.626 --> 0:03:09.346 So Dalvin Cook Bristol, they love Michael Carter who's there. 0:03:09.386 --> 0:03:11.426 They drafted a rookie at a pit. Is he he 0:03:11.506 --> 0:03:14.186 can scoot Bam Knight was good for them last year. 0:03:14.186 --> 0:03:17.586 This's a loaded running backs room. I don't think this 0:03:17.786 --> 0:03:20.386 is okay Dalvin Cook thirty carries in a game go, 0:03:20.626 --> 0:03:23.426 But I do think there's an opportunity for Dalvin Cook 0:03:23.466 --> 0:03:26.586 to get ten to fifteen carries early on, maybe fifteen 0:03:26.586 --> 0:03:29.186 to twenty carries going, and it does make the Jets 0:03:29.586 --> 0:03:33.066 much better. I'm bringing in my wonderful producer and friend, 0:03:33.106 --> 0:03:36.906 Aaron wang Kaufman from an objective standpoint, not a Jets 0:03:36.906 --> 0:03:39.986 fan standpoint, but in your case, a Bills fan standpoint, 0:03:39.986 --> 0:03:41.426 which might not be really objective at all, but you 0:03:41.506 --> 0:03:43.546 know what I mean, not a fan of the team. 0:03:43.946 --> 0:03:46.946 Does it feel like this is a oh that I 0:03:47.066 --> 0:03:49.466 must have? Or does this feel like it's a guy 0:03:49.506 --> 0:03:51.906 who's at the blackjack table and it's like got sixteen 0:03:51.946 --> 0:03:53.986 and he's like, ah, why not, we're feeling good, let's hit. 0:03:54.946 --> 0:03:59.866 It feels a lot like just a totally different mindset 0:03:59.906 --> 0:04:02.546 for the Jets. And I think of it a lot 0:04:02.586 --> 0:04:04.986 like Brady, you know where kind of Brady went to 0:04:05.026 --> 0:04:07.106 the bucks and was like I want to win, Like, 0:04:07.186 --> 0:04:09.226 get me the pieces and Rogers coming in and you 0:04:09.266 --> 0:04:11.906 had the interview with him where he he was like, 0:04:11.946 --> 0:04:14.106 I'm gonna take less money because I want to put 0:04:14.146 --> 0:04:18.386 the best players around me. It feels it feels like 0:04:18.386 --> 0:04:20.786 like an all Star team and it's scary, and like, 0:04:20.866 --> 0:04:24.946 you know that doesn't Yeah, you mentioned i isy Abanacanda, 0:04:25.066 --> 0:04:28.306 you mentioned Bam Knight, who I really like. Michael Carter's 0:04:28.346 --> 0:04:28.906 still there. 0:04:28.946 --> 0:04:29.746 Like they have a. 0:04:29.866 --> 0:04:31.946 Lot of guys and it's not even mentioning Breeze Hall. 0:04:32.026 --> 0:04:32.826 Yeah that's huge. 0:04:33.066 --> 0:04:35.866 Yeah, they're loaded at running back. Their biggest issue is 0:04:35.906 --> 0:04:38.466 going to be the offensive line. But that's so many 0:04:38.466 --> 0:04:41.026 teams in the league, and every team's an injury away 0:04:41.026 --> 0:04:43.546 from their line being a thing. Look, I know fans 0:04:43.666 --> 0:04:45.586 have been getting on me since the Rodgers interview that 0:04:45.626 --> 0:04:46.506 I've been you know. 0:04:46.506 --> 0:04:48.026 Pro Jets, Like it's not because of that. 0:04:48.066 --> 0:04:49.626 The Jets are really good this year. The Jets are 0:04:49.666 --> 0:04:52.186 playoff team this year. Like, they are really good this 0:04:52.266 --> 0:04:54.146 year and this makes them even better. 0:04:54.226 --> 0:04:55.906 So that's the Jets side of it. 0:04:55.946 --> 0:04:59.466 But a couple hours before that, Ezekiel Elliott signed with 0:04:59.506 --> 0:05:01.666 the Patriots, and I like that signing too. 0:05:02.066 --> 0:05:03.306 Six million dollars. 0:05:03.346 --> 0:05:05.746 That is a bargain for a guy like Ezekiel Elliott 0:05:05.746 --> 0:05:06.906 who was hurt last year. 0:05:07.426 --> 0:05:08.986 And again similar situation. 0:05:09.026 --> 0:05:11.146 What I was saying with Cook and Hall, this does 0:05:11.186 --> 0:05:13.466 not mean ramondre Stevenson is not the number one guy. 0:05:13.626 --> 0:05:15.826 They love ramondre Stevens, and I know people at that 0:05:15.906 --> 0:05:18.386 building that are like, our offense is going to be 0:05:18.866 --> 0:05:20.586 what we get out of Mac Jones in the passing game, 0:05:20.626 --> 0:05:22.946 and it's gonna be based around ramondre Stevens. And you know, 0:05:23.026 --> 0:05:26.346 add Ezekiel Elliott and now you've got two running backs, 0:05:26.346 --> 0:05:28.426 you've got a solid offensive line, and they did add 0:05:28.466 --> 0:05:30.986 some some strength that receiver. That's better than last year. 0:05:31.026 --> 0:05:34.506 And Bill o'bryan's called the shots. So Patriots quietly adding 0:05:34.506 --> 0:05:37.186 Ezekiel Elliott for six million dollars on August fifteenth. 0:05:37.226 --> 0:05:37.986 I like that too. 0:05:38.706 --> 0:05:41.626 And with that, as we record this podcast today, I 0:05:41.666 --> 0:05:43.986 just got the note that Anthony Richardson is going to 0:05:43.986 --> 0:05:48.146 be the starter in Indianapolis, which is really interesting considering 0:05:48.866 --> 0:05:52.906 his age, his experience in college, not even close to 0:05:52.946 --> 0:05:54.626 some of the other quarterbacks that were drafted in the 0:05:54.626 --> 0:05:57.546 first round, and what he has around him not exactly 0:05:57.586 --> 0:05:59.986 an elite wide receivers unit. And we don't know what's 0:06:00.066 --> 0:06:02.706 up with Jonathan Taylor, so thrown him to the wolves 0:06:02.706 --> 0:06:05.426 a little bit. But you know what we've learned time 0:06:05.426 --> 0:06:07.826 and time again, sometimes he got a sink or swim. 0:06:07.946 --> 0:06:09.706 They're going with that method and the Colts are going 0:06:09.746 --> 0:06:12.466 to start. Anthony Richardson, who threw an ugly pick six 0:06:12.506 --> 0:06:16.226 that looked really technically wrong over the weekend, but also 0:06:16.346 --> 0:06:19.706 had a beautiful pass deep that was incomplete but was 0:06:20.106 --> 0:06:23.306 everything was done right on his end. NFL News, it 0:06:23.386 --> 0:06:25.706 is coming, it is going, It is all over the place, 0:06:25.786 --> 0:06:28.026 is updates day to day, and we are in the 0:06:28.066 --> 0:06:31.106 thick of it already. And yet today is a special 0:06:31.146 --> 0:06:32.946 day for a friend of mine. Jared Freed is a 0:06:32.986 --> 0:06:37.266 stand up comedian. He has been doing this for thirteen years. 0:06:37.346 --> 0:06:39.946 He has been doing open mic nights for years. 0:06:39.986 --> 0:06:42.346 He's been traveling the country for years, and this week 0:06:42.466 --> 0:06:45.106 Jared's got a special coming to Netflix. This is a 0:06:45.146 --> 0:06:48.906 major deal for a comedian, huge placement. We know the 0:06:48.946 --> 0:06:51.546 reach of Netflix, and for any comedian to get this 0:06:51.546 --> 0:06:53.666 opportunity is really cool deal. And I'm proud of Jared 0:06:53.706 --> 0:06:56.706 who has been hacking away at it for years and 0:06:56.746 --> 0:06:59.826 now this is his moment. So with no further ado, 0:07:00.466 --> 0:07:02.946 a comedian with some football ties, you'll see what I mean. 0:07:03.106 --> 0:07:04.386 Mister Jared Freed. 0:07:09.826 --> 0:07:11.306 Our guest is a friend of mine. 0:07:11.306 --> 0:07:13.506 But long before we got to know each other, I 0:07:13.546 --> 0:07:15.506 was a big fan of his comedy and his work. 0:07:15.546 --> 0:07:20.226 And he's got a special that is hitting Netflix today today, 0:07:20.506 --> 0:07:23.746 a Netflix special it's called thirty seven and single.

Because I was saying to someone else, I 0:07:39.946 --> 0:07:43.746 was like, I you rarely make an adult friend. Yes, 0:07:44.666 --> 0:07:47.266 you know, And I feel like I can say it confident. 0:07:47.386 --> 0:07:50.186 We've become friends and that, you know, that means a lot, 0:07:50.226 --> 0:07:51.786 Like you know, you don't go on like like we 0:07:51.826 --> 0:07:53.426 went and got dinner, and I was like, I don't 0:07:53.466 --> 0:07:56.426 think I can remember a time that I had like 0:07:56.466 --> 0:07:58.506 a first dinner friend date. 0:07:59.386 --> 0:08:02.386 It's not common, it's not something that most men do. 0:08:02.546 --> 0:08:04.466 But it was one of those deals where we had 0:08:04.506 --> 0:08:06.906 been texting, we have been dming, we have been laughing 0:08:06.906 --> 0:08:08.746 at each other stuff. I came on your podcast and 0:08:08.786 --> 0:08:11.386 I'm like, we should go out in New York City 0:08:11.426 --> 0:08:11.986 and then we just did. 0:08:12.186 --> 0:08:13.706 We're like, let's just go do it.

I loved every second of it. 0:08:18.186 --> 0:08:20.786 It made me like mad at myself that I don't 0:08:20.786 --> 0:08:25.786 do it more often. Just two guys gabbing about Jewish 0:08:25.906 --> 0:08:30.146 summer camp and you know, and people we know in common, 0:08:30.226 --> 0:08:33.066 like it really felt like and and you know, it's 0:08:33.066 --> 0:08:34.506 funny if you go to a if you go to 0:08:34.546 --> 0:08:36.666 a restaurant like I, I do a lot of like 0:08:36.746 --> 0:08:39.466 a Loane eating.

Yes, 0:08:42.106 --> 0:08:45.146 this all sounds sad, but when you're at a dinner 0:08:45.186 --> 0:08:46.786 place and you have your headphones in and you look 0:08:46.786 --> 0:08:49.306 around a restaurant, it is all female friendships. 0:08:49.346 --> 0:08:53.666 Yes, it is not one. There's very few times. 0:08:53.466 --> 0:08:57.706 Where you see two dudes just talking fantasy football, talking, 0:08:58.146 --> 0:09:04.546 you know, talking sharing the hot gossip like Choke, the 0:09:04.586 --> 0:09:08.106 spinachen art We we base made out.

I'm like, I really like this guy's stuff, 0:09:22.466 --> 0:09:26.066 and it was oddly similar to my world in the 0:09:26.066 --> 0:09:27.586 broadcasting world, and that it's like. 0:09:27.626 --> 0:09:28.346 Dogg eat dog. 0:09:28.586 --> 0:09:29.586 You're doing your own thing. 0:09:30.106 --> 0:09:36.666 But you said it, you're like politicians, comedians and broadcasters. 0:09:36.706 --> 0:09:38.946 We are the three people that travel all over the 0:09:38.986 --> 0:09:41.186 country and see the darkest regions. 0:09:40.866 --> 0:09:42.306 Of the of this fine place. 0:09:43.306 --> 0:09:44.546 We see the whole country. 0:09:44.586 --> 0:09:48.506 That's a Michelle Wolf thing that I extended to broadcasters 0:09:48.546 --> 0:09:50.626 because when we were sitting together. 0:09:50.346 --> 0:09:53.186 I was like, oh, you know, it's Michelle O. 0:09:53.266 --> 0:09:55.986 Wolf always said politicians and comedians see the whole are 0:09:56.026 --> 0:09:57.426 the only people that see the whole country.

You know, not 0:10:02.106 --> 0:10:05.346 many people spend a weekend in Buffalo, even though we 0:10:05.426 --> 0:10:08.946 know Buffalo from football world, Like you know, we know 0:10:08.986 --> 0:10:12.586 Buffalo and Green Bay because they are famous from football. 0:10:12.626 --> 0:10:15.466 They are not famous from city and then they had 0:10:15.506 --> 0:10:19.266 a football team like it, So not many people And 0:10:19.306 --> 0:10:22.306 again I've just turned off all of Buffalo. They're the 0:10:22.306 --> 0:10:25.866 most sensitive town in the world. They're a bunch of babies. 0:10:26.506 --> 0:10:27.666 I always a comedy town. 0:10:27.746 --> 0:10:29.746 Do they come out it stinks? 0:10:31.466 --> 0:10:32.106 Well they come out. 0:10:32.106 --> 0:10:34.426 No, let me just say this, I don't none of 0:10:34.426 --> 0:10:38.026 them will hear me beyond it stinks. I they are 0:10:38.106 --> 0:10:41.146 just Buffalo needs you to love Buffalo? 0:10:41.266 --> 0:10:42.786 Got it? Buffalo? 0:10:42.906 --> 0:10:44.786 Kind of when you go on stage, it's like if 0:10:44.826 --> 0:10:49.386 you don't say start your set by saying, let me hey, everybody, 0:10:49.386 --> 0:10:50.386 I love it here, love. 0:10:50.306 --> 0:10:52.066 The wings, love the wings. 0:10:52.106 --> 0:10:55.506 You guys are great. Oh my god, you're you're the underdog. 0:10:55.906 --> 0:10:58.226 Oh who couldn't cheer for the bills. If you don't 0:10:58.266 --> 0:11:00.826 say that before you start your act, they won't let 0:11:00.866 --> 0:11:01.626 you do your act. 0:11:02.026 --> 0:11:04.266 It's just they're very sensitive. 0:11:04.346 --> 0:11:07.146 And the worst type of sensitive people are the ones 0:11:07.186 --> 0:11:08.506 that don't think they're sensitive. 0:11:09.066 --> 0:11:12.586 You know you know so, and and there's only sensitive. 0:11:12.786 --> 0:11:15.666 They're not sensitive aout material. You can talk about anything 0:11:15.706 --> 0:11:16.186 you want. 0:11:16.666 --> 0:11:20.346 You just better agree that Buffalo is a great place 0:11:20.386 --> 0:11:22.626 to grow up and live and settle down. 0:11:22.706 --> 0:11:24.906 Like that's it. That's all they want to hear. 0:11:25.026 --> 0:11:26.666 We go through a wee good morning football, and it's 0:11:26.666 --> 0:11:28.506 a lot of you don't respect our team. 0:11:28.746 --> 0:11:30.186 You don't talk to our team. And it was a 0:11:30.266 --> 0:11:30.946 Bills for a while. 0:11:31.026 --> 0:11:33.826 Now we do, but like for years it was Bengals fans, 0:11:33.866 --> 0:11:36.786 it's Lions fans. And it's because historically those teams haven't 0:11:36.786 --> 0:11:38.746 been relevant towards the end of the season, but they 0:11:38.746 --> 0:11:39.586 eternalize it. 0:11:39.786 --> 0:11:41.626 And then it's like when we do talk about them, 0:11:41.946 --> 0:11:43.106 we just get showered with loaf. 0:11:43.186 --> 0:11:46.426 It's like, yeah, I mean, yes, they're the most passionate. 0:11:46.506 --> 0:11:48.786 Those are all cold weather cities, those are all like 0:11:49.346 --> 0:11:52.826 hard working cities that you know, Listen, I'm from outside 0:11:52.866 --> 0:11:56.666 of Boston. I grew up outside of Boston. I nobody knows. 0:11:57.466 --> 0:12:00.506 You think you're better than me, better than a Boston person. 0:12:00.986 --> 0:12:02.426 Okay, nobody knows. 0:12:02.506 --> 0:12:06.666 I mean, we were like seven championships in on on 0:12:06.746 --> 0:12:09.426 this magical run and they were still going, they're not 0:12:09.466 --> 0:12:12.826 talking about us. You know, they don't respect us. You know, 0:12:12.866 --> 0:12:15.586 the Patriots way was all built on that kind of 0:12:16.066 --> 0:12:20.306 you know, illusion that no one believes in the Patriots 0:12:20.346 --> 0:12:23.626 and they're all looking over the Patriots. So I understand 0:12:23.706 --> 0:12:27.546 that mentality perfectly well, but it is funny to like, 0:12:27.906 --> 0:12:31.586 you know, now, as a Patriots fan of sorts. When 0:12:31.626 --> 0:12:33.226 you go somewhere and you say, oh, I like the Patriots, 0:12:33.266 --> 0:12:35.986 they think I started yesterday. People think that I like 0:12:36.066 --> 0:12:38.506 jumped on the minute. You know, Tom Brady would had, 0:12:38.586 --> 0:12:40.266 you know, a supermodel on his arm, and it's like, 0:12:40.266 --> 0:12:42.746 that's not the case. I'm like you, I grew up 0:12:42.986 --> 0:12:45.146 in an area where I like my team too. 0:12:45.386 --> 0:12:47.866 You're like, I was there when Hugh Millen was the quarterback, 0:12:47.946 --> 0:12:51.426 So back off. That's it, Jared. When you do the 0:12:51.546 --> 0:12:54.226 comedy for a living, it's a lot of airports, it's 0:12:54.266 --> 0:12:56.426 a lot of everyone thinks it's glamorous. 0:12:55.866 --> 0:12:57.706 And but I think some of the stuff, the best 0:12:57.706 --> 0:12:58.666 stuff you do is just. 0:12:58.626 --> 0:13:02.186 Like Delta lounge humor and like getting into the Delta 0:13:02.266 --> 0:13:05.026 lounge and you know when you're stuck at a connection 0:13:05.146 --> 0:13:07.106 and you missed the gate and all that stuff. Like 0:13:07.946 --> 0:13:10.386 That's why I'm enjoying your stuff the most. Your your 0:13:10.466 --> 0:13:12.626 special thirty seven and single. But I think it's a 0:13:12.666 --> 0:13:14.946 lot of like this is the ultimate compliment, but it's 0:13:14.946 --> 0:13:16.826 a lot of like that Seinfeld style, like you ever 0:13:16.906 --> 0:13:19.106 notice and right it hits it. 0:13:19.506 --> 0:13:21.986 I appreciate it, you know, I take a lot of 0:13:22.026 --> 0:13:25.826 pride in I'm just a normal dude, Like I like 0:13:25.946 --> 0:13:28.346 my family, I go on dates. 0:13:29.266 --> 0:13:31.626 You know, I don't have a sad tale to tell. 0:13:31.986 --> 0:13:34.226 Some comedians are gonna come up and tell you their 0:13:34.266 --> 0:13:35.866 tragedies and their upbringing. 0:13:36.266 --> 0:13:38.626 I don't really have that to really talk about. 0:13:38.666 --> 0:13:41.346 Like I, you know, grew up in a suburb outside 0:13:41.346 --> 0:13:43.026 of a major city, you know, like. 0:13:43.186 --> 0:13:45.786 During you know, nineteen nineties kid. 0:13:45.986 --> 0:13:49.106 You know, so I'm I always consider myself the center 0:13:49.146 --> 0:13:51.946 part of the bell curve, like I'm ten percent away 0:13:51.986 --> 0:13:55.626 from the guy you're dating, your brother, your cousin, the 0:13:55.666 --> 0:13:57.546 guy who dumped you, the guy you dumped, you know. 0:13:57.586 --> 0:14:00.866 And when I talk about dating especially, that's kind of 0:14:00.906 --> 0:14:03.826 why people have, like, you know, gotten involved with the 0:14:03.866 --> 0:14:05.986 things I talk about because it's honest and it's fun 0:14:06.026 --> 0:14:08.386 and it's light hearted and it's meant to connect with people. 0:14:08.426 --> 0:14:09.786 I'm not looking to be. 0:14:09.866 --> 0:14:14.706 Some special artists out there telling my jokes and you 0:14:14.746 --> 0:14:18.106 know in an alley like I want the big crowds. 0:14:18.146 --> 0:14:20.826 I want I want people to connect. 0:14:20.826 --> 0:14:22.786 And like when I go talk about being in the 0:14:22.826 --> 0:14:26.266 Delta Lounge and how I feel that there's too many 0:14:26.266 --> 0:14:28.986 people in there and how there should be a tiered 0:14:30.186 --> 0:14:32.906 you know, I just think the Delta lounge. 0:14:32.986 --> 0:14:34.626 There needs to be levels. 0:14:34.666 --> 0:14:36.626 There needs to be a pyramid, and the more miles 0:14:36.666 --> 0:14:38.386 you have, the higher up on the pyramid you get 0:14:38.426 --> 0:14:40.506 to go until there's one seat on the top. 0:14:40.546 --> 0:14:42.626 That's a king's you know. 0:14:43.626 --> 0:14:45.706 The one person who travels the most can have all 0:14:46.066 --> 0:14:48.186 the free cottage, cheese and candle up they want. 0:14:48.626 --> 0:14:50.946 That's right, and look down on everyone else. That's what 0:14:50.986 --> 0:14:51.346 I want. 0:14:51.386 --> 0:14:55.186 I want the ability to look down on lesser Delta 0:14:55.346 --> 0:14:57.746 medallion you know, holding well, I'll tell you. 0:14:57.986 --> 0:15:00.546 I was at LaGuardia, I guess it was LaGuardia a 0:15:00.586 --> 0:15:02.986 few weeks ago, and there was a line twenty deep 0:15:03.026 --> 0:15:05.706 to get into the Delta lounge, and that was frustrating. 0:15:05.746 --> 0:15:06.866 I sat at the gate instead. 0:15:07.106 --> 0:15:10.386 Horrific And you know, I remember they were everyone was 0:15:10.426 --> 0:15:14.346 in one line. And then immediately I tweeted there should 0:15:14.346 --> 0:15:17.546 be different lines for different tiers of Delta, and then 0:15:17.586 --> 0:15:18.106 they did it. 0:15:18.146 --> 0:15:20.786 They actually started doing a diamond There's a. 0:15:20.706 --> 0:15:24.346 Diamond medallion lane that I strolled through and then I 0:15:24.586 --> 0:15:26.986 cough on everyone in the other line.

Because I've walked, 0:15:56.466 --> 0:16:00.146 I have gotten back from like Albany, and it's taken 0:16:00.186 --> 0:16:03.106 me longer to get from the gate to the uber 0:16:03.186 --> 0:16:04.746 than it did to Albany itself. 0:16:04.946 --> 0:16:07.906 It's crazy. They're doing construction. If you're not, this is 0:16:07.906 --> 0:16:10.146 a very niche LaGuardia Airport tells it. 0:16:10.186 --> 0:16:11.186 But I don't care. 0:16:12.666 --> 0:16:15.706 They're doing They're doing construction.
