Speaker 4: This is Strange Things with Joshua Warren.
Speaker 5: I am Joshua B. Warren, and each week on this show,
Speaker 5: I'll be bringing you brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises,
Speaker 5: and weird experiments that you can do at home, and
Speaker 5: a lot more. On this edition of the show, The
Speaker 5: Mystery of Comedy with stand up comedian Stephen Randolph. I
Speaker 5: have known Stephen Randolph and his wife, Chelsea Skidmore for
Speaker 5: about four years. They are both professional stand up comedians
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles, California, and they are both fantastic. They
Speaker 5: are also into the paranormal even though Chelsea gets freaked
Speaker 5: out by it a lot more than Stephen does. Stephen
Speaker 5: has actually been here to Las Vegas and gone out
Speaker 5: UFO hunting with me at night, and one of his
Speaker 5: most popular characters is a parody of self help gurus
Speaker 5: named Martin Martin's. We'll talk about that. But I find
Speaker 5: there's a strange overlap between comedy and an interest in
Speaker 5: the paranormal and metaphysical. You'll see what I mean. So,
Speaker 5: I've been wanting to have Stephen Randolph on this show
Speaker 5: for a long time to delve into this mystery. Why
Speaker 5: do we even find things funny? And why do we laugh?
Speaker 5: And is there something mystical about it? You just never
Speaker 5: know where we're going to go on this program, do you.
Speaker 5: So his website is Stephenorandolph dot com and that's st
Speaker 5: E V E N R A N d O L
Speaker 5: P H Randolph dot com. And later I will tell
Speaker 5: you how to find him in various places online because
Speaker 5: he is especially active on TikTok and Instagram. So anyway,
Speaker 5: without further ado, here we go. Steven Randolph, Welcome to
Speaker 5: the show.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much for having me. Joshua happy to
Speaker 6: be here.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I have wanted to have you on
Speaker 5: this program for a long time. And but for people
Speaker 5: who may not even know anything about your story, You've
Speaker 5: lived in California your whole life, right, born.
Speaker 6: And raised in Los Angeles, California. In fact, I'm I'm
Speaker 6: I'm sitting here looking at the Griffith Observatory as we speak.
Speaker 6: Really yeah over a lost feelis I have.
Speaker 5: A feeling we're going to be talking about UFOs at
Speaker 5: some point in this interview. But uh, okay, so yes,
Speaker 5: but okay, so let's start with the basics. How did
Speaker 5: you become a stand up comedian?
Speaker 6: You know, I always wanted to do it. It's something
Speaker 6: that I kind of had my eye on, and so
Speaker 6: I started watching some stand up live and it wasn't
Speaker 6: until I got sober in two thousand and eight. You know,
Speaker 6: I was twenty eight, kind of newly sober, going, Okay,
Speaker 6: what am I gonna do with my time now that
Speaker 6: I'm out partying so much? What do I really want
Speaker 6: to do? And I was like, I really really want
Speaker 6: to do stand up comedy. I'd done it a few times,
Speaker 6: you know, just kind of half cock and you know,
Speaker 6: won too many in there. So I don't even really
Speaker 6: count that. And I was like, where do Where do
Speaker 6: I start? And my friend had started working at a
Speaker 6: comedy club called the Haha in North Hollywood, California, and
Speaker 6: he said he started doing stand up as well, and
Speaker 6: he said, uh, just come over, man. I said, I'm
Speaker 6: really nervous. I kind of had this. It was newly sober.
Speaker 6: I had all these nerves and these these emotions that
Speaker 6: I wasn't used to just being on the planet fully aware,
Speaker 6: and I was so scared to do it. And he goes,
Speaker 6: come over to the open mic and watch your confidence sore.
Speaker 6: Everybody sucks here, don't worry. And I went over and
Speaker 6: I went to the open mic and nobody was exceptional.
Speaker 6: That wasn't the thing. It was the entry point to
Speaker 6: stand up comedy. So I went over. I watched a
Speaker 6: bunch of people bomb and try new things and mostly
Speaker 6: for the most part, not be funny. And I was like, Okay,
Speaker 6: at least I feel comfortable doing this. So I went
Speaker 6: the next week and signed up and signed up at
Speaker 6: the Haja Cafe open mic, and that's where it all began.
Speaker 6: I started doing open mics and the rest is history.
Speaker 6: I never stopped in fourteen years.
Speaker 5: Tell us about Martin Martin's.
Speaker 6: Martin Martin's is my alter ego. I think I do
Speaker 6: a lot of characters on.
Speaker 7: Stage, and I do a lot of you know, yeah
Speaker 7: characters on stage, But I think the only you know
Speaker 7: character that I truly do is Steven Randolph, a character
Speaker 7: I built in high school to not get picked on.
Speaker 6: I really think the authentic me, like when I'm out there,
Speaker 6: you know, complaining about my wife or just doing doing
Speaker 6: my sets and stuff. It's it's real. It's it's in
Speaker 6: my gut. But like a lot of times, I'm really
Speaker 6: getting along with my wife, or I'm not that mad
Speaker 6: about traffic or whatever I'm talking about. But I'm, for
Speaker 6: some reason able to truly be myself in my other characters,
Speaker 6: especially this character named Martin Martin's. He's a wanna be
Speaker 6: Tony Robbins. He is a want to be motivational speaker
Speaker 6: and life coach, and he lives in a broken down
Speaker 6: Winnebago and he's losing everything he has, but he's he's
Speaker 6: hell bent on helping you have a breakthrough rather you know,
Speaker 6: whether you want to or not. And so I started
Speaker 6: doing that at the comedy Store where I was performing
Speaker 6: all the time. I saw Tony Robbins special. It was
Speaker 6: I Am Not Your Guru on Netflix. It was great
Speaker 6: and I cried during it. I was like another comic
Speaker 6: in the green room goes, you should go home and
Speaker 6: watch Tony Robbin's special. And there was a guy that
Speaker 6: was kind of a tough guy, and I never thought,
Speaker 6: I go, really, and he goes. I cried, I dare
Speaker 6: you not to cry? And I go, now I have
Speaker 6: to go see this. I got emotional. I started tearing
Speaker 6: up halfway through, and I thought, you know what, I
Speaker 6: wonder if I told my friend, I wonder if I
Speaker 6: bought a remote headset and put on a turtleneck and
Speaker 6: started healing crowds and having breakthroughs instead of telling jokes,
Speaker 6: would that be funny? And my buddy goes, I think
Speaker 6: that would be hilarious. I go, I don't even know
Speaker 6: where to go. He goes, go to Guitar Center on
Speaker 6: Sunset and see if they have the thing. And so
Speaker 6: I walked in and said, hey, do you guys have
Speaker 6: any the Tony Robbins kind of styled headpiece. They go,
Speaker 6: we have the exact one. He uses it's five hundred bucks.
Speaker 6: So I bought it on a credit card I borrowed
Speaker 6: my wife's. Well I still use it. It's a woman's
Speaker 6: turtleneck with bell sleeves on it. It doesn't fit me.
Speaker 6: My gut hangs out. I look insane. And I put
Speaker 6: on a headset remote, a headset microphone, and I went
Speaker 6: to go check in at the comedy store and the
Speaker 6: sound guy goes, oh, man, you know what you could
Speaker 6: do with this. This is remote up to three hundred
Speaker 6: feet from the stage. Why don't you start your set
Speaker 6: walking off on the sidewalk, So they cut the lights.
Speaker 6: He hit a big spotlight and said he's coming from Clearwater, Florida,
Speaker 6: Martin Martin's. My friend made up the name. In the hallway.
Speaker 6: He goes, your name should be Martin Martin's and I go,
Speaker 6: that's perfect. And I started my set like from down
Speaker 6: the hallway and walk in and everybody just started applauding
Speaker 6: like crazy, and I started healing people. I said, you
Speaker 6: know what, your wife's going to come back. Your dog
Speaker 6: loves you. I just started painting out the winds, the people.
Speaker 6: I'm hugging them and staring at them awkwardly, and everybody
Speaker 6: just started loving it. And I haven't stopped, and I'm
Speaker 6: actually about to pitch a TV show on it right now,
Speaker 6: so really excited about that character.
Speaker 5: You know, honestly, you are one of my favorite stand
Speaker 5: up comedians and I love all of your stuff. It's
Speaker 5: all hilarious. But let me tell you that Martin Martin's
Speaker 5: is such a brilliant satire, such brilliant parody. I mean, like,
Speaker 5: you just nail it. And the only way that you
Speaker 5: can do that is by understanding the real content, because
Speaker 5: that's how you can make fun of something. You have
Speaker 5: to first understand what you're making fun of, right.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And that's so funny to hear that is you
Speaker 6: also have to secretly love it. So a lot of
Speaker 6: these guys who are lampooning maybe political figures who they're
Speaker 6: not aligned with, you know, politically. I'm like, well, there's
Speaker 6: some part of you that likes them or thinks they're
Speaker 6: interesting or funny. You know. People always say, hey, do
Speaker 6: an impression of me, and in my mind, I'm thinking,
Speaker 6: You're not that interesting. So at the very least, you
Speaker 6: got to have some kind of interest in the character
Speaker 6: that you're spoofing, and I definitely have a huge interest
Speaker 6: in Tony Robbins. I believe in what he's doing. I
Speaker 6: love self help, I love healing people. It's a little
Speaker 6: goofy how he does it. It's a little theatrical, and
Speaker 6: that's kind of what I magnify. So I just go
Speaker 6: out there and sometimes I'll have the sound guy put
Speaker 6: a spotlight on somebody in the audience, like Tony does,
Speaker 6: and Tony will just stare at them for forty five seconds,
Speaker 6: and it's so dramatic and it's so crazy that I'll
Speaker 6: just stare at somebody for two minutes, and after the
Speaker 6: first minute, no one's laughing, and after a minute and
Speaker 6: a half, everybody in the audience is breaking down hysterically
Speaker 6: laughing for I don't even know why. I don't know
Speaker 6: the science behind it.
Speaker 5: You know, we think of the example of laughing at
Speaker 5: a guy who slips on a banana pill. Does that
Speaker 5: mean that with comedy, somehow, some ways, somebody has to
Speaker 5: pay for it, so to speak, that that you have
Speaker 5: to make fun of somebody, even if it's yourself. Is
Speaker 5: that is that necessary?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, maybe, yeah, that's that is a deep question.
Speaker 6: I didn't expect to go this deep here. You know,
Speaker 6: you're rocking me on something that I consider myself pretty
Speaker 6: pretty versed in does somebody have to get hurt? I
Speaker 6: don't know, okay no, but that's something that I thought
Speaker 6: when I first started it out in comedy, I was
Speaker 6: really mean, either to myself or to people in the
Speaker 6: audience or to you know, I did a lot of
Speaker 6: prank stuff, and somebody always paid the price or was
Speaker 6: shocked or was uncomfortable. And something that I've had to
Speaker 6: do recently, like I used to do crowd work and
Speaker 6: if someone would heckle me. I never had a problem
Speaker 6: with that because I came from a really mouthy Italian family,
Speaker 6: so I would always have stuff to say back, and
Speaker 6: sometimes I would go too hard, or sometimes I could
Speaker 6: tell the person that I was doing you know crowd work.
Speaker 6: With CrowdWork is when an a comedian breaks the fourth
Speaker 6: wall and starts talking to the crowd in the live performance.
Speaker 6: But I would go, oh, man, that person really didn't
Speaker 6: want to be involved in this conversation. Maybe they got
Speaker 6: bullied into sitting in the front row. So now what
Speaker 6: I do is I look for people's eyes who want
Speaker 6: to play. I could just see it, I could smell
Speaker 6: it on them, like, oh, this person wants to have
Speaker 6: some fun on stage or you know, in a conversation,
Speaker 6: and especially with the Martin Martin's character, when I mean,
Speaker 6: as Martin Martin's the motivational speaker, when I say, hey,
Speaker 6: you need to lose weightiter, hey that girl's too hot
Speaker 6: for you, or blah blah blah. See you're real sick
Speaker 6: out because you've just laughed. But about nine out of ten,
Speaker 6: So a room of three hundred, there'll only be four
Speaker 6: four psychos laughing really hard, and everybody else is going to, oh, man,
Speaker 6: this guy's a jerk. So what I've learned with Martin
Speaker 6: Martins is my friend says, you just want to pay
Speaker 6: out the wind. So I'm just complimenting people in the
Speaker 6: most creepy, weird way, but it's still a compliment, you know.
Speaker 6: I'm like, you have beautiful toast, sir. I'll kiss him
Speaker 6: on the forehead. The guys, well, what are you doing?
Speaker 6: Can I massage your feet? He's like no, but it's
Speaker 6: so yeah, it's making him a little uncomfortable, but it's not.
Speaker 6: It's not I'm not saying anything bad about him. So
Speaker 6: so yeah, those that it helps when someone pays the price.
Speaker 6: I think what I've come up with is that I'm
Speaker 6: an emotional stunt man, and if anybody is going to
Speaker 6: be seriously uncomfortable by my art, it's going to be
Speaker 6: me because I can handle it and that's what I do.
Speaker 6: So so yes, I think a little bit. We're just
Speaker 6: like experimenting with saying crazy stuff to strangers all the time.
Speaker 5: When we come back from this break, I'm going to
Speaker 5: ask Steven, what is a joke? How do you technically
Speaker 5: construct one? I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to strange

Speaker 5: And now back to my interview with stand up comedian
Speaker 5: Steven Randolph. So, from a technical perspective, Uh, what is
Speaker 5: a joke? How does it work? How do you construct one?
Speaker 6: What the easy thing for me? And I tell this
Speaker 6: to New comics is go, I don't know what to write.
Speaker 6: What should I write for my first joke? If something
Speaker 6: makes you angry, if something makes you really happy, if
Speaker 6: you think something's annoying or weird, if you get a
Speaker 6: strong internal emotion, the Matthew's an indicator that there's a
Speaker 6: joke there. And for instance, I this was back. You
Speaker 6: know when everybody's watching TV all the time. Now it's
Speaker 6: always on your phone and we don't watch commercials so much.
Speaker 6: But when I first started stand up about fourteen years ago, yeah,
Speaker 6: about fourteen years ago, there was always these athletes foot
Speaker 6: commercials and soap scum commercials like four h nine and
Speaker 6: cleaning commercials. Whenever they animated a germer, a bug, it
Speaker 6: always had a New Jersey accent. And I noticed that,
Speaker 6: and I said that to my friend in the car
Speaker 6: when I first started doing open mics, they go, whenever
Speaker 6: they animate a germer, a bug, or a fungus on TV,
Speaker 6: it always sounds like a New Jersey Cabby. You know
Speaker 6: who I am. I'm Mucus. I live in you know.
Speaker 6: So I went on stage the next night to a
Speaker 6: bunch of people and I said, how come every time
Speaker 6: they animated germer a bug on television. It's always got
Speaker 6: a new Jersey accent. Everybody started laughing. So a lot
Speaker 6: of other people were like, yeah, that is true. I
Speaker 6: never thought about that. So if you feel passionately about
Speaker 6: something really strongly usually annoyed, that really help the collective
Speaker 6: of people in the audience who have had that same
Speaker 6: experience go oh yeah, and there's something there's something funny
Speaker 6: about us all suffering or being annoyed with the same thing.
Speaker 5: In terms of human evolution, every quality that we have
Speaker 5: seems to be there because it serves some purpose. So
Speaker 5: you've kind of touched on this already, but let me
Speaker 5: ask you one more time. What purpose does comedy serve?
Speaker 5: Does it rescue people? What does it mean to you?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I like that it rescues people. It rescues people,
Speaker 6: It connects people, It uplifts people, It energizes people, and
Speaker 6: it makes people not feel alone. And I had a
Speaker 6: twelve step sponsor one time when I was getting really
Speaker 6: experimental early on and I wanted to freak everybody out.
Speaker 6: I was doing like a lot of Andikoff and stuff,
Speaker 6: and I was freaking everybody out, and he kind of
Speaker 6: gave me a note, and I was like, huh, that's interesting,
Speaker 6: and he goes. He goes, you know, I'm not telling
Speaker 6: you what to do, but you might want to be
Speaker 6: a little more inclusive with your comedy. And I'm like,
Speaker 6: what do you mean? And he's a comedy fan that
Speaker 6: does not do comedy, and he goes. You're in a dark,
Speaker 6: dingy club at the late hour of the night, and
Speaker 6: people are usually crawling in and sitting in the back
Speaker 6: because they feel alone and they're depressed and they just
Speaker 6: want to be uplifted. They're not going there to see
Speaker 6: you be super crazy and weird sometimes that there's a
Speaker 6: time for that, but most of the time people are
Speaker 6: going because they just don't want to feel alone and
Speaker 6: they want to laugh a little bit. Man. And I
Speaker 6: was like, oh, so there is part of this job
Speaker 6: where I'm supposed to I'm supposed to create a nice
Speaker 6: sandwich for someone to eat. I'm not just supposed to
Speaker 6: be throwing mustard on the wall when someone's hunger and
Speaker 6: look at that. You know, so like I think when
Speaker 6: you first start out, you're just so nervous and so
Speaker 6: excited and you know, unbridled that you're just making this
Speaker 6: abstract At least that's how there's twenty fifty percent of
Speaker 6: comedians like that that you're just doing crazy, say, saying
Speaker 6: stuff for reaction because you don't you don't understand the
Speaker 6: craft yet, so you're just saying buzzwords you're not supposed
Speaker 6: to say, you're you're just being crazy. But then afterwards
Speaker 6: you're like, oh, I do want people to laugh. So
Speaker 6: I think it's to energize and to give hope, to
Speaker 6: give hope in happiness and contentment for people who otherwise
Speaker 6: don't have that or are struggling with that.
Speaker 5: So now, just as a quick comparison, considering the world
Speaker 5: is a big place, how do you think this concept
Speaker 5: applies to animals? Do animals really have a sense of humor?
Speaker 5: I mean, what are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 6: I thought I've thought about that a lot. And dolphins
Speaker 6: seem to the more intelligent animal. Dolphins seem to primate
Speaker 6: seem to because if you see, like there's videos of
Speaker 6: little chimpanzees in the jungle, I think you could just
Speaker 6: probably put this into the YouTube search. But they're they're
Speaker 6: teasing lions. It's a deadly game. But they're jumping down
Speaker 6: and pulling lions tails, and the lions are getting are
Speaker 6: the tigers are getting so fear they're trying to kill
Speaker 6: the monkeys, and like he's just jumping back up and
Speaker 6: the trees, laughing hysterically, and I think, like that's comedy,
Speaker 6: that's high, that's risky, risky comedy. But they're doing it
Speaker 6: because they're bored, and they're probably wanting to make their friends,
Speaker 6: their their monkey friends laugh and and all that. Dolphins
Speaker 6: knock people off surfboards. I have a little bulldog and
Speaker 6: he has a sense of humor. He'll grab me and
Speaker 6: fake bite me on the leg and then run away
Speaker 6: and run in circles and run into the wall. And
Speaker 6: I'm like, he's being silly right now, Like he's not.
Speaker 6: He doesn't just want my attention, like he's he's being funny.
Speaker 6: And so my dog, Yeah, I think they do because
Speaker 6: up setting my dog too. I have English bulldogs are
Speaker 6: very moody, very wacky. But he'll just do crazy, funny
Speaker 6: stuff and I'm like, oh, he's being funny. So I
Speaker 6: believe that. Yeah, animals and stuff understand humors. Some do.
Speaker 6: Cats don't seem to be too funny. They're not trying
Speaker 6: to play those games.
Speaker 5: I met you around four years ago. At the Comedy Store,
Speaker 5: and Chelsea invited me to be on her podcast with you,
Speaker 5: and then you took me on this phenomenal tour of
Speaker 5: the Comedy Store. It opened in Hollywood in nineteen seventy
Speaker 5: two fifty years ago. It is world famous and it
Speaker 5: is famously haunted. Well, this show is called Strange Things,
Speaker 5: so please tell everybody a bit about the paranormal activity
Speaker 5: at that place and why you think it is so haunted.
Speaker 6: One of the most haunted places on the planet. It's undeniable.
Speaker 6: You could feel it when you walk in. You remember
Speaker 6: these show Unsolved Mysteries from the eighties and nineties. I
Speaker 6: think it's got a recoot now on Netflix. Yea, one
Speaker 6: of my favorite shows. That theme song still if I
Speaker 6: hear that in adulthood and it's nighttime, I need to
Speaker 6: put all the lights on. Scariest fun show. I think
Speaker 6: that was the precursor for me. It went Unsolved Mysteries,
Speaker 6: then Coast to Coast a few years later when I
Speaker 6: got a little older, but those were my two go tos,
Speaker 6: and Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack was just scary. And
Speaker 6: there is a episode dedicated to the Comedy Store that
Speaker 6: you could find on YouTube with Robert Stack talking about
Speaker 6: the Comedy Store. So all these comics from the seventies
Speaker 6: and eighties were talking about the crazy stuff. So I
Speaker 6: already heard the stories and knew that it was haunted.
Speaker 6: And then once I got into the guts of it
Speaker 6: and started I worked there for seven years. Brenton Biddlecombe,
Speaker 6: one of the one of the comics over there who
Speaker 6: was kind of who worked and did their social media
Speaker 6: and stuff, and it was there answering the phone lines
Speaker 6: during the day, gave me the whole rundown on and
Speaker 6: that's how I'm able to give the tours. I love
Speaker 6: giving tours of the Comedy Store today the tour I
Speaker 6: gave you. But there was I don't know, between one
Speaker 6: hundred and one hundred and fifty one hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: people killed in the building in the forties and fifties
Speaker 6: before Mitzi Shore, Who's poly Shores to see some other
Speaker 6: ran it. I guess it's been around for one hundred years.
Speaker 6: So it had an illegal abortion clinic at the turn
Speaker 6: of the century, and then it was Zero's Nightclub, a
Speaker 6: mob run nightclub in the forties, fifties and sixties, and
Speaker 6: I guess that's where they would say, hey, come over,
Speaker 6: we need to talk to you about some business. And
Speaker 6: that's where they would whacky. In fact, on these stairs
Speaker 6: that go up that lead up into the sound person's
Speaker 6: little nest up there on the top of the main room,
Speaker 6: there's three different stages. You could see bullet holes all
Speaker 6: over the walls, and so, you know, it's kind of
Speaker 6: been said that a ton of people lost their lives
Speaker 6: on those stages, that stage, and so a lot of
Speaker 6: people have just died in that building, and a lot
Speaker 6: of weird stuff has gone in that building. My friend
Speaker 6: Gypsy Danny, who you met, I introduced you to Gypsy Danny.
Speaker 6: He did a walk through there and he, you know,
Speaker 6: he was telling me there's portals all over this place,
Speaker 6: and there's he was seeing ghosts left and right, and
Speaker 6: and so I had an experience there. It's so unique
Speaker 6: about that club is it's open till three four in
Speaker 6: the morning sometimes, like if Chappelle comes in and stays on,
Speaker 6: you're open un till four in the morning. So it's
Speaker 6: it's more of a comedy hangout for it's an artist
Speaker 6: community too, so like everybody just hangs there and gets
Speaker 6: really intoxicated and has a good time and wildness. It's
Speaker 6: just really wild.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna cut right there, and when we come back,
Speaker 5: you will hear Stephen tell about this fascinating experience with
Speaker 5: something paranormal that he and others witnessed on the stage
Speaker 5: during a live performance. And let me tell you, if
Speaker 5: you can think of a famous comedian, there is a
Speaker 5: ninety nine point nine percent chance that comedian has performed
Speaker 5: at the Comedy Store. And you know, when I went
Speaker 5: there to do my investigation, there was a point when
Speaker 5: I stood up on that stage and I'm telling you
Speaker 5: it's hard to describe. There is a portal of energy
Speaker 5: that is burned onto that stage that's so powerful that
Speaker 5: I think anybody would feel a bit disoriented. And that's
Speaker 5: why it's all the more intriguing that during the investigation
Speaker 5: that I did, when the only people who were there
Speaker 5: was myself, Stephen Chelsea, and then at one point, I
Speaker 5: think maybe a couple of other tech guys kind of
Speaker 5: popped in and out. But you know, we had the
Speaker 5: whole main stage to ourselves, the whole theater to ourselves,
Speaker 5: and at one point, and I've told you about this before,
Speaker 5: we turned a special full spectrum camera toward the stage
Speaker 5: and actually captured something on that stage that was invisible
Speaker 5: to the naked eye. And later on in this podcast,
Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you how you can go and
Speaker 5: see that footage on my website, as well as footage
Speaker 5: from Chelsea and Stephen interviewing me on camera for over
Speaker 5: two hours that same day. So there's just so much
Speaker 5: great content wrapped into this particular edition of the show.
Speaker 5: And did you realize that comedy is such a mysterious
Speaker 5: and often paranormal, certainly mystical and metaphysical thing. I'm Joshua P. Warren,

Speaker 5: Hey everyone, it's the Wizard of Weird Joshua P. Warren,
Speaker 5: and you're listening to the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
Speaker 5: AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Strange Things on
Speaker 5: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 5: And I'm your host, Joshua P. Warren, And this is
Speaker 5: the show where the unusual becomes you usual. It is
Speaker 5: ironic that comedy is surrounded by so much tragedy and
Speaker 5: so many sad and often spooky events. Actually, in fact,
Speaker 5: at the Comedy Store, I think it was maybe nineteen
Speaker 5: seventy nine, something terrible happened. A lot of the comedians
Speaker 5: went on strike, and one comedian climbed up at the
Speaker 5: top of a tall building next to the comedy Store
Speaker 5: and jumped to his death. He committed suicide and left
Speaker 5: a little note explaining that he had done it because
Speaker 5: of his relationship with the Comedy Store. You can imagine
Speaker 5: these stories about that building just go on and on.
Speaker 5: So it's not really surprising that Stephen Randolph and others
Speaker 5: witnessed something paranormal on that stage after he had only
Speaker 5: been working there for a matter of weeks. So here
Speaker 5: is Steven Randolph telling you what he I saw.
Speaker 6: And I was there my second week running the original room.
Speaker 6: That's the room that everybody got their their started. You know,
Speaker 6: Richard Pryor Letterman and Letterman had my job, Jim Carrey
Speaker 6: had my job. They were door people, kind of running
Speaker 6: the rooms, checking people in and the insecurity. So it's this,
Speaker 6: you know, all these people had this this iconic kind
Speaker 6: of job and it was really helpful. It taught me
Speaker 6: so much about show business. But my second week working there,
Speaker 6: so three showrooms are running at once, I'm in the
Speaker 6: original room. It's one five am. Heyesus. Trey Hoad's, a
Speaker 6: very funny comedian, was going on. I didn't even know
Speaker 6: him at the time. I know him pretty well now.
Speaker 6: But he walked on stage. There was me, a drunk
Speaker 6: guy in the very back, and three people up front.
Speaker 6: So there's four people in the room. But it just
Speaker 6: stays open, you know, all night. And they told me
Speaker 6: no smoking in the rooms. No this, no that, you know.
Speaker 6: I just had to watch out for some things. And
Speaker 6: people can't vait too much. I would let people do
Speaker 6: it a little bit here there. All of a sudden,
Speaker 6: about three or four minutes into his stand up set,
Speaker 6: he's on stage a huge what looked like a vape,
Speaker 6: a ball of like vape vapor was hovering over his head.
Speaker 6: And I was like, oh, someone's vaping in here. You
Speaker 6: know what, I'm new at this job. It's late at night.
Speaker 6: I don't really care that people are vaping in here.
Speaker 6: Who cares, you know? And the ball of smoke didn't
Speaker 6: go away. It just became more perfectly symmetrical. And I
Speaker 6: was like, I've never seen a vape ball of cloud
Speaker 6: of vape smoke do that. It didn't dissipate, and it
Speaker 6: became a globe and it started rotating around the guy's head.
Speaker 6: It's one forty at night. I've been working since six pm. Man,
Speaker 6: I come from another job. So I was, you know,
Speaker 6: an hour fourteen of working for that day, heard so
Speaker 6: much comedy. I go, I'm going crazy. So the drunk
Speaker 6: old man that was sitting kind of in the back
Speaker 6: with me, like near the little our little checking booth,
Speaker 6: I said, hey, man, is that sick? Are at smoke
Speaker 6: or bag? Smoke. He goes, I don't know what that is.
Speaker 6: And he goes, he goes, I'm drunk right now. I said,
Speaker 6: I'm tired right now. I said, let's watch it. We
Speaker 6: watched it for another minute and it started rotating like
Speaker 6: a globe. So now you've got a ball of smoke
Speaker 6: hovering over the guy on the stage. I'm sitting there
Speaker 6: watching the guy on the stage. Hey, Sue's treo, and
Speaker 6: you could talk to him about the story. Runs off
Speaker 6: the stage. You don't leave the show, no matter what.
Speaker 6: The show must go on. He runs off and abandons
Speaker 6: through there on the microphone and runs off stage, and
Speaker 6: everybody's just freaking out in the audience, and so I
Speaker 6: race in the kitchen where there's a kitchen where everybody
Speaker 6: kind of hangs out at the comic store. He's back there,
Speaker 6: looking like like he'd just seen a ghost, you know.
Speaker 6: And I said, hey, man, Steve Randolph, I don't know
Speaker 6: if we've met. I kind of something weird happen while
Speaker 6: you're on stage. And he goes, I don't want to
Speaker 6: hear it. I don't want to hear it. And I go, no, man,
Speaker 6: I got to tell you, And I go A globe
Speaker 6: of smoke was hovering over your head while you were
Speaker 6: on stage. He goes, I didn't see the globe of smoke,
Speaker 6: but something was yelling at me from behind the curtains,
Speaker 6: and everybody in the front row was it was screaming
Speaker 6: at them, and they were screaming at egg, going what
Speaker 6: is it? What's going on? And it was screaming at everybody.
Speaker 6: I didn't hear. I was in the same room with
Speaker 6: the microphone. I didn't hear the audio, and nobody else
Speaker 6: saw the smoke except for me and the old man.
Speaker 6: And so there was two levels of what would you
Speaker 6: call that, like senses or like they're like I was
Speaker 6: seeing stuff that they that other people weren't seeing, and
Speaker 6: they were all hearing something that I wasn't hearing at
Speaker 6: the same time, and he was freaked out. He did
Speaker 6: not want to go back on stage that night, and
Speaker 6: we got someone else on there and kind of carried
Speaker 6: on with the show. But that was one of many
Speaker 6: things that happened there.
Speaker 5: You know, Stephn. Oddly enough, my own journeys through paranormal
Speaker 5: research have brought me into contact with a lot of comedians.
Speaker 5: I actually shared a few moments on screen with Robin
Speaker 5: Williams in a movie.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did an entire TV show with Rob Riggle Murray.
Speaker 5: The magician here in Vegas is a he's a comedic
Speaker 5: magician and he's a good friend, and Karen Rontowski is
Speaker 5: a friend, et cetera.
Speaker 6: So I have.
Speaker 5: A lot of paranormally you know, sort of or let
Speaker 5: me say, comedically oriented personalities that are also into the paranormal.
Speaker 5: And I even, you know, I like to crack jokes,
Speaker 5: and what do you think is up with this overlap
Speaker 5: between comedy and the paranormal.
Speaker 6: I know exactly what it is. I'll tell you sensitivity.
Speaker 6: Comics are extremely sensitive, and not just emotionally sensitive. We're
Speaker 6: able to hyper focus and see things and cracks in
Speaker 6: the foundation that other people can't see. It's incredibly frustrating
Speaker 6: sometimes because I'll tell my mom or someone, hey, that's
Speaker 6: a bad guy. You see the way he just kind
Speaker 6: of looked, and nobody like, you're so crazy, And then
Speaker 6: sure enough this person would be weird. I just I
Speaker 6: know when something crazy is gonna go down, like three
Speaker 6: or four minutes before it happens, because I'm like I think,
Speaker 6: I think artists are super sensitive and high tuned I
Speaker 6: think stand up comedians are extremely sensitive. We've all been
Speaker 6: traumatized to come overwhelmingly from trauma, and so I don't
Speaker 6: know if that opens up some kind of sixth sense
Speaker 6: that maybe other people are blessed to not even have
Speaker 6: to use, because they just just walk around blisfully unaware.
Speaker 6: But I think stand ups for the most part, have
Speaker 6: that sixth sense channel open, and we're extremely sensitive. And
Speaker 6: not only do do fun observations and jokes come in
Speaker 6: and present themselves, a lot of other stuff does too.
Speaker 6: I've seen, I've seen a UFO. I've had a lot
Speaker 6: of paranormal experiences, probably because I'm open to it and
Speaker 6: I believe in it. But I've had I've had quite
Speaker 6: a few supernatural experiences, and the same can be said
Speaker 6: for a lot of comic friends. Are right, a lot
Speaker 6: a lot of comedians experience that.
Speaker 5: You know, I think it also has something to do
Speaker 5: with absurdity. You know, there's something funny about getting abducted
Speaker 5: by an alien or a bigfoot or having a ghost
Speaker 5: appear in your bedroom, as the movie Ghostbusters so clearly demonstrated.
Speaker 5: So how do you feel about the absurdity of the
Speaker 5: paranormal and how that element connects with comedy.
Speaker 6: I love it. I think my two favorite things are
Speaker 6: are comedy and paranormal activity. If you were to say,
Speaker 6: who is Stephen Randolph, it's it's comedy, a loving friend
Speaker 6: and husband, paranormal activity, and in colbrew coffee. So I
Speaker 6: don't you know why, because it's so scary, it's so
Speaker 6: such a power, unexplainable, power greater than myself. You have
Speaker 6: to laugh. It's so big to me. Like my friend
Speaker 6: and I have gotten really really into UFOs lately, and
Speaker 6: I always have been into them, and both he and
Speaker 6: I we were having this conversation the other night. He's
Speaker 6: a very successful musician. His name his name is Casey,
Speaker 6: but his band is called Adult Karate. Check out Adult Karate.
Speaker 6: But he's really into supernatural occurrences. And we both came
Speaker 6: up with the fact is it's a thing with comedy.
Speaker 6: It gives us hope, the fact that there's possibly some
Speaker 6: advanced civilization in the sky that could possibly help us,
Speaker 6: help us evolve. It's incredibly comforting to me, and it's
Speaker 6: it's it's it's scary too at the same time, and
Speaker 6: it's big and it's funny. It's like a nervous laugh almost,
Speaker 6: so like the two are very connected for me. You know,
Speaker 6: Scena goes you have what are you gonna do? Yelling it?
Speaker 6: You have to go. If you if you and I
Speaker 6: Joshua were walking around and we saw some crazy ghost
Speaker 6: walk through the wall, I would probably start laughing after
Speaker 6: the initial oh my god, oh my that's me. I
Speaker 6: have no words for it. I have to laugh. I
Speaker 6: have to have this emotional release because what I just
Speaker 6: saw was so big and unexplainable. I don't even know
Speaker 6: how to put it into words.
Speaker 5: So tell us about your UFO experiences.
Speaker 6: So I was outside. I was in Hollywood, California, right
Speaker 6: by the famous hot dog plays Pinks.
Speaker 12: My friend had an apartment like kitty corner to Pink.
Speaker 12: So we're at like six pm, it's like twilight. We're
Speaker 12: leaving a twelve step meeting. So this is five or
Speaker 12: six sober guys.
Speaker 6: Doing the twelve step thing. We had a twelve step
Speaker 6: meeting at his house, and so we're all dead sober,
Speaker 6: at least we claim to be. But for the most
Speaker 6: part I had everybody there was was sober, and we're
Speaker 6: all having cigarettes in the alley kind of kitty corner
Speaker 6: from Pink's Hot Dogs, just hanging out smoking. I go
Speaker 6: to take a pee in at the end of the
Speaker 6: alley and something told me to look up in the sky.
Speaker 6: And I look up and I see a silver ball
Speaker 6: and I was like, ah, that's weird instead of satellite.
Speaker 6: So I'm peeen, I'm smoking, I'm just kind of looking
Speaker 6: at this ball. And I go to look back at
Speaker 6: my group of friends who are probably thirty feet away
Speaker 6: from me, and they're all looking up into the sky.
Speaker 6: So what are the chances that we all, you know,
Speaker 6: we're all kind of self obsessed, neurotic people, and why
Speaker 6: did we all look up at the same time? But
Speaker 6: they're looking So I'm looking at them, they're looking. I
Speaker 6: zip up my pants really quick. I raced over to them.
Speaker 6: I go, what is that? And my buddy goes, I
Speaker 6: don't know, and I'm like, that's so weird. Look at that.
Speaker 6: He goes, no, no, look at that over there, and there
Speaker 6: was another silver ball. Then my other friend poured out
Speaker 6: another silver ball. So we were all watching three individual
Speaker 6: silver balls go across the sky, and I thought, that's
Speaker 6: so weird. Then they zipped and joined each other into
Speaker 6: a perfect triangle and started zipping around that way, and
Speaker 6: then it shot into hyper space and I was like,
Speaker 6: that is so crazy. Came back, disassembled, did the little dance,
Speaker 6: zipped all around it like they were having fun. It
Speaker 6: was like a couple of dolphins out of a pod.
Speaker 6: And then they all collectively formed this triangle shot into
Speaker 6: hyperspace again and we didn't see him. I'd been into
Speaker 6: UFOs since I was a little kid and unsolved mysteries,
Speaker 6: and you know, every book I wanted for Christmas was
Speaker 6: a book I was supernatural. So I that the black,
Speaker 6: unmarked helicopters always come after a major sighting, right, So
Speaker 6: I told my buddy and I go, are you an UFOs?
Speaker 6: And she goes no, and I go, well I am,
Speaker 6: And if this isn't the UFO, there's gonna be some
Speaker 6: black helicopters that are going to come.
Speaker 5: Do you think the black helicopters showed up? You'll find
Speaker 5: out when we come back. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're

Speaker 3: AM Paranormal Podcast Network and Strange Things.
Speaker 5: Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of
Speaker 5: Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Speaker 5: Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host Joshua p. Warren
Speaker 5: and after the interview, I have some more interesting things
Speaker 5: to share with you. But now the conclusion of my
Speaker 5: conversation with Steven Randolph, he just saws some UFOs and
Speaker 5: he said, you know what, if those were real, I
Speaker 5: bet you some black helicopters will fly over soon. And well,
Speaker 5: here's what happened.
Speaker 6: And if this isn't the UFO, there's gonna be some
Speaker 6: black helicopters that are going to come Joshua.
Speaker 13: Six PM Center, Hollywood, right by Pink. So there's a
Speaker 13: line out the door of people eating hot dogs. This
Speaker 13: isn't a mystical you know, heedge to Area fifty one thing.
Speaker 13: It's a very just in the center of the city,
Speaker 13: very normal night. And all of a sudden, apaches with
Speaker 13: no markings on them came and comed our area over
Speaker 13: Pinks and over kind of probably a quarter mile out
Speaker 13: where we.
Speaker 6: Were watching this whole light show happen. And the helicopters
Speaker 6: came out of nowhere. They were so big. The only
Speaker 6: thing that I've seen kind of almost as close to
Speaker 6: that is like when you go down to San Diego
Speaker 6: or Ocean side and they're doing the military kind of
Speaker 6: tactical practices down there at like one of the marine
Speaker 6: bases down there, and they were huge, huge helicopters that
Speaker 6: were just hovering around Hollywood. And my friend goes, how
Speaker 6: did you know that? I said, I read a.
Speaker 14: Book about it, and they just disappeared and that was that.
Speaker 14: And it was so crazy that that we had all
Speaker 14: talked about it and it was the craziest thing any
Speaker 14: of us have ever seen. And then the most mystifying
Speaker 14: part to me is I didn't let it go because
Speaker 14: I'm so into it.
Speaker 6: But when I bring that up to the other people
Speaker 6: who saw it, they go, oh, yeah, that was weird,
Speaker 6: and they almost like don't even acknowledge it. They remember it,
Speaker 6: but it wasn't like they had kind of just forgot
Speaker 6: about it. And so I don't know if there's some
Speaker 6: element to realms and beings that we don't understand that
Speaker 6: kind of kind of make you forget or become uninterested.
Speaker 6: But I'm not one of those people that becomes uninterested.
Speaker 6: I'll never forget that night, and it was so weird
Speaker 6: to me. It was not only weird that we saw it,
Speaker 6: that the helicopters came afterwards, but it was weird that
Speaker 6: my other friends kind of almost just dismissed it a
Speaker 6: few weeks later.
Speaker 5: Well, Steven, the clock has almost got us. So before
Speaker 5: we go, please tell everyone how to learn more about
Speaker 5: you and your work.
Speaker 6: You know what, The best place to find me is
Speaker 6: on Instagram. I am very receptive if you send me
Speaker 6: a message, I talked to anybody. I'm a very friendly guy.
Speaker 6: But on Instagram, my handle is at Steven Randolph two,
Speaker 6: the number two. It's at st e vd n r
Speaker 6: A n d O l p H two on Instagram,
Speaker 6: and I put all my work on there. I'm also
Speaker 6: big on TikTok, so if you just google Steven Randolph TikTok,
Speaker 6: I should be the first one to come up. But yeah,
Speaker 6: I put my all my videos and all my body
Speaker 6: of work on there. And I'm going to be touring
Speaker 6: across the United States, so hopefully I'm going to state
Speaker 6: near you, and I'll put that on my website Steven
Speaker 6: Randolph dot com. That's Steven Randolph dot com. But I
Speaker 6: put my all my dats and stuff on Instagram, so
Speaker 6: I would love to connect with your fans. Well.
Speaker 5: As I said, you are one of my favorite comedians.
Speaker 5: I sincerely mean that. But you're also incredibly intuitive and sharp,
Speaker 5: and you are one of the coolest people I know.
Speaker 5: So congratulations to you and Chelsea on your new child.
Speaker 5: And my spidy senses tell me that your star is
Speaker 5: going to continue to rise and give you more opportunities
Speaker 5: to also explore the unknown. So I have a feeling
Speaker 5: we have more adventures in store together. So Stephen Randolph,
Speaker 5: thank you for being on the show.
Speaker 6: Josh, Like always, it was a pleasure. Man. You're the best.
Speaker 5: Okay, folks, if you need a laugh that this is
Speaker 5: what I do when I need a laugh. Well, first off,
Speaker 5: there are links to some of his social media if
Speaker 5: you just go to Stephen Randolph dot com, s T
Speaker 5: E V E, N R A N d O, L
Speaker 5: p h dot com. But I don't think there are
Speaker 5: links to all of it, because you know, he has
Speaker 5: a he has a YouTube channel, and I don't know
Speaker 5: if that's linked up there. You check him out on
Speaker 5: YouTube especially, But anyhow, he says he's most active on
Speaker 5: Instagram and TikTok, so his Instagram is of course Instagram
Speaker 5: dot com and then Ford slash Stephen Randolph the Number
Speaker 5: two or TikTok dot com, Ford slash at Comedian Steven Randolph,
Speaker 5: so find him one way or another. Now, if you
Speaker 5: would like to see the footage that we shot when
Speaker 5: we were doing our investigation at the Comedy Store. This
Speaker 5: was on October the twelfth of twenty nineteen. I had
Speaker 5: with me a full spectrum camera that was capable of
Speaker 5: shooting for you out there who were in techno stuff
Speaker 5: two hundred and eighty to twelve hundred nanometers, so it's
Speaker 5: able to see things that you cannot see with the
Speaker 5: naked eye. And at one point I think I had
Speaker 5: handed it off to Stephen and he was the one
Speaker 5: who might have actually shot this footage. I don't know
Speaker 5: one hundred percent for sure about that, but he whoever
Speaker 5: was holding it, pointed it at the stage and there
Speaker 5: is this anomaly on stage that looks a lot like
Speaker 5: what he described seeing in a way, it's almost like
Speaker 5: this violent vapor that's just sort of swirling around on
Speaker 5: the stage. Go look at that. And then on the
Speaker 5: same page, I just modified it so that after that
Speaker 5: you can watch the video from that same day, earlier
Speaker 5: that day actually of Chelsea Skidmore, and this is the
Speaker 5: Chelsea Skidmore show, but she had Steven in there and
Speaker 5: Chelsea and Stephen are interviewing me on camera for over
Speaker 5: two hours about everything you can imagine, and it's actually
Speaker 5: really not only insightful, but it's also, as you can imagine,
Speaker 5: you know, very funny and truly creepy at times. This
Speaker 5: is one of my my wife Lauren's favorite interviews that
Speaker 5: have been done with me. So all you have to

Speaker 5: of them. And you know, sometimes people contact me and
Speaker 5: they say, man, I just heard this show for the
Speaker 5: first time, and I can't believe how much fortune I've
Speaker 5: had by listening to this tone that you play at
Speaker 5: the end of the show most of the time, which
Speaker 5: is called fittingly the Good Fortune Tone. People listen to
Speaker 5: it every week and then email me and say this
Speaker 5: has changed my life. So here we go. I'm going
Speaker 5: to play it for you in just a moment. This
Speaker 5: is exclusive to this show, and what I want you
Speaker 5: to do is take a deep breath. If you can
Speaker 5: close your eyes, it's okay. If you can't, kick back, relax.
Speaker 5: If you have a glass of water, you might want
Speaker 5: to put that in front of your speaker and see
Speaker 5: if you can charge up the water with this tone.
Speaker 5: It'll only last like twenty seconds, and then drink the
Speaker 5: water and see how you feel.
Speaker 6: Here.

Speaker 5: it for this edition of the show. Follow me on
