Speaker 1: Yes?

18
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 4: When I asked that, I actually want the answer, and

19
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: I do. Sit I'll sit down for hours. I got

20
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 4: a lot of free time.

21
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: I had the one of those kind of mornings where

22
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: I thought I woke up, I thought it was good mood,

23
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 3: and then the first phone call set me into like

24
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: a little like what's the word. I was like in

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: a in a rut of like irritation. Yeah, I think

26
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: I drink too much coffee. I think that's what it is.

27
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: And I'm in total denial about it because I absolutely

28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: love coffee because I love white drugs. But I can't

29
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: do them anymore.

30
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I found that coffee makes me angry. There's

31
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 4: no other way to not anxious.

32
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: Not I am. I am quick to anger and rage, yes, yeah.

33
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: And it used to be well in my in my

34
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: like TV, daily television days, it was required, like you,

35
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: absolutely I needed an entire pot of coffee before I

36
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: left the house because of the kind of days that

37
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: I would spend and the kind of fighting.

38
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you got a daily basis.

39
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: You gotta yell at people during meetings to get anything done.

40
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: On these it was just all yelling.

41
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: It was constant, constant conflict. And so now I think

42
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: it's like I get up and I have one cup,

43
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: and that's where I should put it down. But my

44
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: natural personality is like eight more cups and we'll see

45
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: how I feel.

46
00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, because who makes a cup.

47
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: It's people that get these pods and don't care about

48
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: the environment. It's because of my love of the earth,

49
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: and you know, I'm a total hippie.

50
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: I make a whole pot.

51
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah. And then you compost those.

52
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: Grounds, I do, I swear I do.

53
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: I put them in the garden or I put them

54
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: in my I sprinkle them into my potted plants.

55
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: I use the grounds. It's good. It's actually good.

56
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 3: Use those grounds too. Did you realize that as of

57
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: jan one, we're all supposed to be composting by law

58
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: in California. We're supposed to be separating our garbage garbage,

59
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: and we're supposed to have a compost garbage.

60
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 4: I hope that they enforce that, and I hope they

61
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: start with, uh, you know, you gotta put together all

62
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: your cardboard, all the result.

63
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: You gotta get organized. We gotta get organized.

64
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: You got to get our garbage organized.

65
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's it's very important.

66
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: It is.

67
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: Well, I just I just went down to the optometry

68
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: to get glasses, and I realized the glasses that I

69
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 4: like are from Michael Douglas in the movie Falling Down,

70
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: just the partial wire with the dark frame on top. Yes,

71
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 4: And this person was unfamiliar, so I kept one looking

72
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 4: for a scene that was a close up of his face.

73
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: This person had not seen the movie. I chose the

74
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 4: scene where he has a bazooka and the little kids like, no,

75
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: you got to pull it apart. That's the trigger, and

76
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 4: he's like raging out on some construction worker. The person's like,

77
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: what movie is this. I'm like, I'm not gonna be

78
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: weird in the glasses. I just like the frames.

79
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 1: I'm not. I think they felt like I was angry

80
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: at society.

81
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: It was almost felt like all of a sudden, I

82
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: was buying a gun and they're questioning my you're.

83
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: Holding up a thing where Michael Douglas is just shooting

84
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: people on the freeway.

85
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: These are the yeah saying my oldly racist things.

86
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, oh, this movie is from the nineties,

87
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 4: but I'm very cited for the glasses, can.

88
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: I tell you? And it sounds exciting because did you

89
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: end up realizing did you guys come together and realize

90
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,880

Speaker 4: If I if it's a true horn rimmed, those come

94
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 4: up to a point like a far side character.

165
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,319

166
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:54,959

00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: So well, i'll tell you it's not the I remember now.

184
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: It's at the Cedar Street courtyard. Actually it is.

185
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're at the Cedar Street I guess. I'm trying

186
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: to figure out where that. It's where my friend Matt

187
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: Sadler used to work. If he's there, you're gonna love him. Uh.

188
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: That's where I started comedy. I mean I started.

189
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I forgot until you just said.

190
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: I was like, that's right.

191
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: Yes, it's so.

192
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: I know all the venue and I've never been invited

193
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 4: to that festival and it doesn't bother me.

194
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: No, it's fine.

195
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 4: Look I have they know I'm busy this weekend. I

196
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 4: assume they checked my schedule preemptively and that's why they

197
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: don't ask every year.

198
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: But I'm kidding.

199
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: It's You're gonna have fun though, it's it looks like

200
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 4: a fun group of comics this year.

201
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

202
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 5: I think it'll be fine. But that is crazy that

203
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 5: you're not doing it.

204
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: I never have. Yeah, it's okay.

205
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: It sounds to me if you started comedy in Austin

206
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: and they've never asked you to do it somewhere in

207
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 3: between there you pissed somebody off. Where the gun is

208
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: coming from is this? Asked other people to help you

209
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: get rid of weapons.

210
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: I had a lot of side gigs in Austin.

211
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: Money wasn't rolling in from comedy and so yes, I

212
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 4: had a little crime ring and I asked a lot

213
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 4: of comics to help me. And I guess I rub

214
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 4: some people the wrong way because now they're bookers.

215
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: No, I don't know what it is.

216
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 4: I don't think I've ever pissed anyone off in Austin.

217
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: I think that they just there's a thing about the

218
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 4: the city you start in.

219
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: And I left there in two thousand and three.

220
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 4: I've developed away from in my time away from there,

221
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: and they still think of me, maybe as the kind

222
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 4: of skittish, nervous stumbling you know, I had no confidence.

223
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 4: I think they still think I'm that guy. Maybe, but

224
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 4: I worked their comedy clubs.

225
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: You know what, We're going to get Irene to ask

226
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: a bunch of people tonight right after her first.

227
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 5: Oh that's all I'm going to I'm going to do

228
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 5: my set anymore.

229
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: So Chris Fairbanks, huh, and just see what they say.

230
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 5: I'm just going to ask each person that I think

231
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 5: might run the festival or even be a part of it,

232
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 5: and be like, so, Chris Fairbanks here there's a beef.

233
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, get ith Yeah, I don't know. It is a

234
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: good question and something I'll think about tonight.

235
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 3: Irene. Let's focus back on Irene.

236
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: Yes, of course, Irene.

237
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 3: Do you have a pre show ritual? Because it is

238
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 3: exciting to be at a festival like I remember one

239
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: time for somewhere one of those festivals. I flew in

240
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: and the plane was late, so I had to run

241
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: from the hotel. I had to rush to the first set,

242
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 3: and it was an awful feeling. And that's not what

243
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: festivals are about. Is there anything that you do to

244
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 3: like ground yourself? Knowing that festivals are a little extra,

245
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 3: there's like lots of people hanging around. You might feel

246
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: like it's make or break or whatever. Is there anything

247
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: you do to kind of get yourself in the right headspace?

248
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 5: I think I don't like to be rushing. That always

249
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 5: stresses me out, so I try to have plenty of

250
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 5: time before my set. Ironically doing this podcast.

251
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: Yes, that's why I was like, this is something that

252
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 4: would make me nervous if I were you, not that

253
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: I want you to get nervous.

254
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 5: No, but also it's like it's I think it's like

255
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 5: a short set, so this is it's like it's it's

256
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 5: like going to be like a ten minute set. So yeah,

257
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 5: that is easy. And it's not like if I was headlining,

258
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 5: I may not. I might have been like, can we

259
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 5: change the time of this podcast?

260
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but no, it's and you have time because you're

261
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 4: number six in a lineup of eight.

262
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: Is that true?

263
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 4: Because I looked at your schedule, Yeah, you don't do

264
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: the Velvet Room.

265
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 5: You have no idea what your manager.

266
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: Now.

267
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: I was looking because there's a lot of shows at

268
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 4: uh at that you're on, Like this festival has you

270
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,720

00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 4: were you, But you're going to love the Velvet Room

272
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 4: on Sunday night. All these gigs, by the way, are

273
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 4: weeks ago because we record in advance. But Irene was

274
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 4: in Austin and you heard that she did great because

275
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 4: she did.

276
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 5: Yes see, but please please text me my schedule daily

277
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 5: because I clearly have no idea when.

278
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: And well I downloaded the app and I will I

279
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 4: will forward the prompts to your number.

280
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: But do you do anything like, say, do you do

281
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: shadow boxing? Do you do not talk to people? Do

282
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 3: you drink two beers? Like? Is there anything you do

283
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: for the people that don't do stand up and go?

284
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: How do you do that? How do you get up

285
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: in front of people like that? Is there anything like

286
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 3: that that you do that helps you?

287
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 5: I generally will write out a set list, even if

288
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 5: it's like the same set list as like the night

289
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 5: before or like literally every day that week. I just

290
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 5: will rewrite the set list in my notebook and then

291
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 5: I stare at it in a panic that I'll forget

292
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 5: all of my jokes on stand up, and then I'll

293
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 5: paste back. I'll paste back and forth. Got to pay backstage,

294
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 5: I'll usually I'll have a water and then I'm just

295
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 5: opening and closing it and drinking like one sip at

296
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 5: a time, nervously.

297
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, recapping it after everything.

298
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, click click click CLICKLI like, oh, but it

299
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 5: has to be like one of the twisty ones. Yeah,

300
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 5: it can't be like a FlipTop.

301
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: I don't like that.

302
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 4: So you do have a writer where you specify the

303
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 4: things that you require.

304
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like they always have the twisty

305
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 5: ones because.

306
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: Fliptops they don't work.

307
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 4: They got the little safety thing you're supposed to pull

308
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 4: off a strip that's half the circumference of the brim

309
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 4: and it just breaks.

310
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: So then you got to use your teeth as a tool.

311
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 5: And then you're like sucking it. Yes, that's like a baby.

312
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 4: Ye yeah, I don't like that either. I don't like

313
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 4: the suckling. We went through this as babies.

314
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 3: Same with them. When they changed the Starbucks cups. When

315
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: suddenly we had straw legislation that immediately outlawed straws. Yeah, yeah,

316
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: it was amazing. And then there was just suddenly we

317
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: had sippy cups at Starbucks, where I was like, yeah,

318
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 3: I need to I can't do this. I don't know,

319
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: this feels bad to me.

320
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, for a while I just had to go, just

321
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: give me the brim, Can you salt the rim? And

322
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 4: just give me a cup of salty coffee? Because I

323
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: can't get used to the snap.

324
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: But we have Look how far we've come.

325
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were adults with sippy cups. God, that's so true.

326
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: Of like a funny nervous I guess that's why I

327
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 3: asked the question because there is something about the green

328
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: room energy that every time I would interpret it as

329
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 3: like these people are making me nervous, or I can't

330
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 3: be in here or whatever. But I didn't understand that

331
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: was kind of the magic alchemy of between your on

332
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 3: the sidewalk and you're on the stage, you need to

333
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 3: be in that room doing weird little things because that's

334
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: part of getting ready.

335
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, yeah, totally, because otherwise if I don't do that,

336
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 5: I feel like I get on stage and I'm just

337
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 5: like scattered.

338
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 3: Yes, right.

339
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 4: And I think it's funny that you asked about it, Karen,

340
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 4: because last time Irene and I worked together in Portland

341
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 4: the green room, it was one of those situations where

342
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 4: it's very god and there was seven comics in there.

343
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: Oh every night there was guest sets.

344
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 4: I had to go get my head straight in the

345
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 4: showroom sitting with the audience where it was quiet, Like

346
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 4: Irene and.

347
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: I both were like wow, oh more people.

348
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 4: There was just a lot of activity and it was

349
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 4: the opposite of what a green room is supposed to provide, like, yes,

350
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 4: I'm about to go up.

351
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: We both were like we both equally get.

352
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 4: Nervous and have to stare at our handwriting from five

353
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 4: minutes ago, and new people are, hey, what's up?

354
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: Like you have to meet people?

355
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 4: The handshaking and this was during like we're still paranoid,

356
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 4: We're gonna die because of spit like it was. I

357
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: remember that being one of the more stressful green room

358
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 4: experiences that we shared.

359
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 5: I was surprised you just didn't kick people out.

360
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: I I.

361
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 4: Have to drink a bunch of coffee and get mad,

362
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 4: and then I go overboard and I'm like, everyone, get

363
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 4: the hell out, Like Jesus, I have to lose it

364
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: to that.

365
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: I wish I could more so.

366
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: Was it like local comics that were excited You guys were.

367
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 4: There some of that, and then and then friends that

368
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 4: were doing guest sets, and then there was confusion and

369
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 4: they thought they had a guest set every night or

370
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 4: there was just a lot of people yeah in there,

371
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 4: but yes, anyone that I'm now, I'm nervous that they're

372
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 4: all listening together, like having their feelings heard. It was

373
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 4: also people that wanted to hang out, and I appreciate that,

374
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 4: but I don't appreciate it right before I get on stage,

375
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 4: that's all, you know.

376
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody recently I was in San Francisco, like another

377
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 5: comic and I was trying to tape a set and

378
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 5: then they like wanted to have like kind of a

379
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 5: serious conversation like right before or after my set. I

380
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 5: was like, absolutely not, there's no way. I was like,

381
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 5: we cannot talk right now. And I felt like bad,

382
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 5: so I like texted them again like yesterday, and I

383
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 5: was like, hey, like sorry about that thing the other week.

384
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 5: But I just like, if I'm trying to tape a

385
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 5: set for something right before or after, terrible time to

386
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 5: try to talk to totally.

387
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: I one time almost started crying because and it was

388
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: right when I started stand up, so I would have

389
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 3: like real like full breakdowns every time because I didn't

390
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: really have material and I kind of was like I've

391
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: always wanted to do this and now I'm actually doing it,

392
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 3: and I'm like fine, I'm passing fine at it, but

393
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: this isn't like changing lives anyway. So it's like every

394
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 3: single time it was so hard and no joke. It

395
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: would be like three different people like hey where do

396
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: I park? I don't know how much is this gonna cought?

397
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 3: And it'd be like I was the fucking concierge and

398
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: I'd be like, stop talking to me. I would completely

399
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: go insane on people and just be like, don't fucking

400
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 3: ask me for directions. And it was like, sorry, I

401
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: could have been nice about this if you asked me

402
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: at ten am, but you're literally asking me as I'm

403
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 3: getting ready to go on stage, like, hey, tell me

404
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 3: where to park here where It's like no, no, sorry,

405
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 3: I'm I'm going hysterically blind. So i can't work through

406
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 3: this with you.

407
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 4: Right, Those are situations where there isn't a green room.

408
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 4: You're just like people that come in that assume you

409
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 4: work there because you're standing there pacing around.

410
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

411
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 3: Your friends who are there to quote unquote support you.

412
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, are drag down.

413
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 5: I would prefer none of my friends and family come

414
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 5: to my shows if that's the case, Like, please leave

415
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 5: me alone.

416
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: On the promo for anything, there's an asterisk at the

417
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 4: bottom and it says strangers only for me.

418
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: I do not. I've never want.

419
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 4: I've never understood when someone packs the room this is

420
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 4: our first time, and then everyone from their office is screaming.

421
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like oh, And then usually you watch all

422
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: these people with all this hope.

423
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: Watch their friends struggle, yeah, and make it's the most

424
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 4: dangerous situation and put yourself in. I just got to

425
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: the point where I don't worry about it when I'm

426
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: back home and Missulin and my dad and all my

427
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 4: friends are going to be in the room listening.

428
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: It took a decade and a half for that to

429
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: stop bothering me.

430
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

431
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's fine if like friends and stuff

432
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 5: will come to the show, but don't. Yeah, don't text

433
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 5: or ask me anything day of the show that you

434
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 5: can either google or ask somebody else or don't text me,

435
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 5: like an hour before the show. Hey, I actually can't come.

436
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 5: I don't care.

437
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm so sorry. They keep apologizing. It's like,

438
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 4: all you have to do is stop texting me.

439
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

440
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 3: Can I tell you guys when I started. So, I

441
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: started stand up in Sacramento, and I truly did it,

442
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: I think like three or four times, and was then

443
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: immediately in a contest. And at the same time that

444
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: I started, I was going to the j C because

445
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 3: I flunked out of sack State, which is not easy

446
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: to do, and I was going to the j C

447
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: and I was in a play at the JC. So

448
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: in this contest, it was like the night three of

449
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 3: this content like I'd made it to the semi finals

450
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: or something like that, and everyone from the theater department

451
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: came to this show and it was so fucking humiliating,

452
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: like they were cheering now they it was out of love.

453
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 3: I adored them for doing it. It was very sweet,

454
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 3: like they were so proud and they were so excited,

455
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 3: and they were theater people. So it's like everything's times five,

456
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 3: but literally it's just it was like I packed the

457
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 3: house filled with like, you know, a hundred excited ants

458
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: instead of just like two.

459
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 4: It was.

460
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 3: It was so embarrassing and so crazy, and it was

461
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: just like it was so it was just one of

462
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: those things too where you can't when I get nervous

463
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 3: or anxious, it all becomes about control where it's like nope,

464
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 3: you stop doing that, you can't do that or whatever.

465
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: And it was like the most out of control situation

466
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 3: that I didn't ask. I did not invite them, like

467
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 3: they found out it was happening. It was it's making

468
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 3: me nervous just thinking about it.

469
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm the same way.

470
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 4: But then all of a sudden, like a Ray talked

471
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: about this, but being thrust on stage during the daytime

472
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 4: between bands and there's kids, and I had to do

473
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 4: that recently.

474
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I have zero control here.

475
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 4: This is complete chaos, and it made me default back

476
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 4: to my defense mechanism, ability to make people.

477
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: Laugh to survive.

478
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 4: Like it's how I used to get out of people

479
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 4: punching me in the face when I was a kid.

480
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 4: Like I'm like, oh, I have to make these people

481
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 4: like me, And then afterwards I felt like young. I

482
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 4: felt like going on a run. It was like an

483
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 4: exhilarating feeling. So it's good to get out of that

484
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 4: comfort zone. But I never will choose to. I want, yeah,

485
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 4: so much control. Yeah, so I hope. And at a

486
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 4: festival it's it's always there's so much fun going on

487
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 4: outside the shows.

488
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: You probably don't have to worry about that.

489
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I will say it's like for me, I

490
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 5: like a festival, but it also I'm not an extrovert,

491
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 5: so it can be way too much. Yeah, so I

492
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 5: have to figure out when to leave the party, right,

493
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 5: you know. I have to like show up, show face

494
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 5: long enough that people know that I was there, and

495
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 5: then quietly leave somehow before someone's like, hey, you're leaving.

496
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 5: And I just have to like Irish goodbye every.

497
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, always. I think it's okay to do that.

498
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything wrong with Irish goodbyeing. I

499
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 3: don't understand why people treat it like it's something where

500
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 3: it's just like, oh, I'm sorry, did you expect me

501
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,959
Speaker 3: to walk around and like kiss everyone goodbye?

502
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: What do you want?

503
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 3: Like? What are you talking about? I'll talk to you tomorrow,

504
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: Like this is at the end. We'll be fine.

505
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is one of my actually, my biggest regret

506
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 4: in my career is that I don't leave the party early.

507
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 4: I am there, the last one there, and I'm back

508
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 4: flipping into a dumpster and I'm all of a sudden

509
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 4: just hanging out with people that I don't even remember

510
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 4: their names, and I'm like, let's keep going. I'd like,

511
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 4: because we don't get to go to parties anymore. I mean, yeah,

512
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 4: but there is a part of me that still wants

513
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: to be in my twenties. That's what comedy festivals provide

514
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 4: for comedians. Yes, like for sure, hey, you're all kids

515
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: and there's no rules, here's free drinks, and I'm.

516
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: Like, okay, I'll be jumping in the dumpster.

517
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, We're sponsored by a pot company. Hey, everybody,

518
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: come collect your joints.

519
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, I don't usually smoke these? Should

520
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 4: I have three?

521
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? Fighting a security guard? Now, what's happening?

522
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: I did?

523
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 4: I just recently like a tiny pack of cigarettes. I

524
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 4: was given at a comedy show a dozen joints pre

525
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 4: roll joints, and I'm like, well, they're so little and

526
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 4: it's so well packaged. And I had one before golfing

527
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I'm I'm a danger. I don't know

528
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 4: what I'm doing right now. I'm like, I still get

529
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 4: in my head too much. I can't No, no, yeah,

530
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 4: I don't want to get used to it.

531
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: Don't make me do weed.

532
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 3: We won't. Chris, I mean you started stand up in Chicago.

533
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,360

00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 5: Francisco like my home. Me too, that comedy scene.

535
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 3: That's what I did because I start I only did

00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 3: an in Sacramento for a handful of times and then

537
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:47,800

567
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 4: that's not what the thing looks like, because the crowd

568
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 4: will go, oh, they made a joke about our city. Yeah,

569

Speaker 1: What did you study?

586
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 5: I mean, it is a good school. I wanted to

587
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 5: go to Stanford, and I will say this every time,

588
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 5: still better they didn't take me.

589
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 3: Stanford's tough, though, don't you have to have like a

590
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: five point seven gpa and like your parents have to

591
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: both be the governor of California and stuff is so intense.

592
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: I got to Stanford. I'm a lot older than you,

593
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 3: but I got a Stanford sweatshirt in high school and

594
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 3: I remember wearing it around my mom goes, that's as

595
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: close as you're going to get because it's like the

596
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: most expensive, you know, one of the most expensive schools,

597
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 3: and also you really do it's like you have to

598
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: be related to people or something.

599
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, or just like the smartest person ever, yeah right

600
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 5: or something.

601
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

602
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I was bummed.

603
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 4: I think I yeah, my parents wanted to lower my

604
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 4: expectations for I was getting. They were getting the University

605
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 4: of Montana sweatshirts and everything. When I was a young boy,

606
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 4: I knew that's where I was going to go, right

607
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 4: down the street. Otherwise I totally could have gone to

608
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 4: Berkeley or Stanford.

609
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: You could have you just focused on a different thing.

610
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 3: But Berkeley is an amazing Berkeley's an amazing school. I

611
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: mean that's like, that's that's no, it's no slouch. Iving.

612
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 5: I mean I kind of checked out by the my

613
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 5: senior year. I was like, I want to do comedy.

614
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 5: I don't care anymore.

615
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: Oh did you decide during Yeah? Yeah, I kind of.

616
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 4: I started doing improve and stuff at the end of

617
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 4: college and I'm like, wait a minute, I think I

618
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 4: like this, I'm not going to be an art history professor.

619
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 4: That's like what my all my study. What were you studying?

620
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I majored in Asian American and Asian diaspora studies,

621
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 5: and most people like become academics, like professors or whatever,

622
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 5: and I didn't want to do that.

623
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: Did you say diaspora?

624
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 5: The diaspora, I don't know what that is. It's like

625
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 5: when you move from like one place to another place. Oh,

626
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 5: it's like the diaspora. So there's like Asian people that

627
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 5: are like not in Asia, you know.

628
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, isn't that funny that I've lived my whole life?

629
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 4: And I swear if that word has been used around me,

630
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: I was looking down at my shoes or something.

631
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: I feel like it's a very college word.

632
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: And I don't even know.

633
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 5: If I described it well enough, I'm sure I'll get

634
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 5: a lot of angry emails that's like, that's not what

635
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 5: it is like again, I checked out, Yeah.

636
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: I must repeat. I was doing sets at this point, Yeah, yeah, I.

637
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 5: Was doing comedy, all right.

638
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

639
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 4: There are words that are just for college and they

640
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 4: never happen again, words like algebra or syllabus. Like I

641
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 4: remember when someone first used the phrase syllabus. I had

642
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 4: never heard that word, and I laughed at it because

643
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: it sounded like an STD and then you never hear

644
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 4: the word syllabus again once you graduate.

645
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: It's like, that's just.

646
00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 4: A college word. I hate college words, toy do.

647
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 5: I feel like the quintessential college word is like heteronormative.

648
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 5: That's such a college word.

649
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

650
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's a good that's a new a newbie,

651
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 4: but a goodie.

652
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: So what what was the thing or was there one

653
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 3: thing at that time that made you realize stand up

654
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 3: was a thing you wanted to try? Like did you

655
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 3: see somebody do it? Or like had you always secretly

656
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 3: wanted to?

657
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 5: And no, I didn't know, uh what comedy was like

658
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 5: when I was a kid. I loved cartoons, but I

659
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 5: always thought like I was gonna be a doctor or

660
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 5: a scientist or like all of my family like went

661
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 5: to med school or kind of did stuff that was

662
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 5: like in that realm. And uh, long story short, I

663
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 5: was number one a huge fan of Allen So she

664
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 5: you know, started by doing stand up. So that's kind

665
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 5: of how I do start doing stand up. And also

666
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 5: a girl told me it was funny, and I was like, Okay,

667
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 5: I guess we'll be a comedian.

668
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 3: Here we go.

669
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's funny.

670
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 4: I think it is other kids telling that's what it

671
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 4: was for me, other kids saying you should be a comedian.

672
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's not a job or whatever.

673
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 4: But if you keep hearing it from kids, they I

674
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 4: just want to say thank you to everyone I went

675
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 4: to grammar school with.

676
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, thanks to that one girl that I had

677
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 5: a crush on that said I was funny.

678
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: Otherwise I wouldn't be here, right. Yeah, you're like, hey,

679
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: wait a second, she's got a point.

680
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think you're kind.

681
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: Of doing it for her, even though it's years.

682
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, oh, I know. It's like we don't even

683
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 5: talk anymore. But it was like I was like trying

684
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 5: to press that one girl.

685
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.

686
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 4: There are a handful of people that are I rotate

687
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: between them all. That's the reason that I started doing

688
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 4: stand up or someone inspiring me, and I don't think

689
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 4: any of them know that they are that person to me.

690
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I shoul write some thank you letters.

691
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 3: You should, you know, the main I think because actually,

692
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 3: I well, I wanted to be a stand up because

693
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 3: I because like right when I was you know, ten

694
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: eleven twelve is when they started airing evening at the

695
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 3: improv like on you know on Sundays where it would

696
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 3: just be like, you know, twelve different people doing sets

697
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: or whatever, and I was like, oh, I wanted that,

698
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 3: so I want to do that, and I would just

699
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 3: watch it. I was kind of obsessed with it. But

700
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: then one year when I went to camp, Steve McDonald,

701
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 3: who was like this the older boy that everybody loved,

702
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 3: who was really funny himself. He one of his favorite

703
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 3: things to do because he lived near the city, was

704
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 3: go in and go to comedy shows. And he's the

705
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: one that told me I should be a comic, and

706
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 3: to me at the time, I was fourteen or something,

707
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: and it was like he was kind of a stand

708
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 3: up expert and he was like, you have to do this,

709
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 3: and it was first of all, I loved him, so

710
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 3: it was like thrilling. But then at this same time,

711
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 3: it was almost like someone who had gone out and

712
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 3: done the research in real life and was like, yeah,

713
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 3: you should do that too. So it became a thing

714
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 3: of like it went from the dream of oh, that's

715
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 3: on TV. I wish I could do that, to a

716
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,240
Speaker 3: person in reality going no, you can, and you should.

717
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 3: So my thank you notice to Steve McDonald, which I

718
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 3: think he knows this, but if he doesn't, Yeah, he

719
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 3: was the reason I believed that it was possible.

720
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I just realizing there was a camp counselor

721
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 4: or a volunteer at some religious camp I went to

722
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 4: in Estes Park, Colorado, and he had like a letterman

723
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 4: jacket with comic relief logo on the back.

724
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: And I remember like.

725
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 4: How'd you get that jacket? He's like, oh, I'm a comedian.

726
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 4: I have no idea who he was, but he had

727
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 4: whatever Arlen Williams, Yeah, he got some free schwag. But yeah,

728
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 4: that is one of the people. I'm like, oh my god,

729
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 4: I just have to get out of Montana. That's the

730
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,479
Speaker 4: first thing. But yeah, I have no.

731
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 1: Idea who that was. He's probably it could have been

732
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: Steve Middleman. I don't know. It may have been.

733
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 3: Actually, it could have been Gary mule Deer. I mean,

734
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 3: when you first decided you were going to do it

735
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 3: and you went in, did you do open mics in

736
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 3: the city?

737
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 5: Did you start in Berkeley? No, so I started in Chicago.

738
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 5: I oh when I very first started. Yeah, I was

739
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 5: in high school and I took like a stand up

740
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 5: class at the second city.

741
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

742
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 5: And it was like it was like literally me and

743
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 5: two other people and we would just tell jokes to

744
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 5: each other in like the classrooms really weird, and it.

745
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: Cost eight hundred dollars.

746
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 5: I mean at least three, you know, it was.

747
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 4: Do you remember when your first your first joke was

748
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 4: or the assignment?

749
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: I remember mine.

750
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 5: I do not remember any of the first jokes I

751
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 5: told for the assignments, but I do remember. It didn't

752
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,439
Speaker 5: really click with me in that class. Like I think

753
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 5: we had like little writing exercise or whatever, but just

754
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 5: the way it was taught like didn't work for me.

755
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 5: So then I kind of was like, I don't really

756
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 5: get stand up. So then I kind of started doing

757
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 5: improv for a while, and then I went back to

758
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 5: do stand up and then I kind of got it more.

759
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: Yeah it's hard. Yeah, I had that same trajectory. Yeah

760
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: that's so. Yeah, Well that.

761
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 3: Makes sense actually, because improv like it's almost like everything's

762
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: everything is accepted right if you're within the rules and

763
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 3: the realm of that scene and that reality. So you

764
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 3: have that chance to just kind of throw stuff out

765
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: and build the trust in yourself to think of the

766
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 3: funny thing in the moment that would That's actually the

767
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 3: more logical trajectory than just being like, well, I'm here

768
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: and I'm going to try to mimic what I think

769
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 3: other people are doing on stage, which because I remember

770
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 3: those the first year, sitting there and trying to write jokes,

771
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 3: I had no idea what I was doing. I had

772
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 3: no idea how to even like mimic other people. It

773
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 3: was just kind of dad talking yeah, oh totally right,

774
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 3: like just my thoughts and you're going to think this

775
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 3: is interesting.

776
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're like, oh god, this is very bad.

777
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

778
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 4: Mine was a similar that guy Matt Sadler that I

779
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 4: said worked at your.

780
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: Venue where you have a show in about an hour.

781
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 4: Just a reminder, let's keep this podcast is going to

782
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 4: be riddled with the schedule updates for you.

783
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: I but he it was one.

784
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 4: It was an improv festival in Austin, and I went

785
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 4: with my Montana group and one of the clinics there

786
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 4: was here's a stand up clinic. It was like a

787
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 4: one hour thing like for fun, and I decided in

788
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 4: that class of three people like maybe I'll move here.

789
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 4: I've never had even been to a city with a

790
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 4: stand up scene. That's what made it real. And so

791
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 4: when I moved. That's why I know exactly where your

792
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 4: venue is. When I moved to Austin, I because he said, yeah,

793
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 4: if you move here, just look me up at this

794
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 4: guy Matt. And again, he's one of these people that

795
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 4: inspired me. And I don't know that he knows that,

796
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 4: but I just you're the only guy I knew. I

797
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 4: had his phone number on a piece of paper and

798
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 4: I went to his work and I'm like, Hi, I

799
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 4: moved here, what do I do? And I remember he

800
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 4: just said, well, try and write some jokes, and once

801
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 4: you get on stage, do your second favorite joke and

802
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 4: then talk in between and end with your favorite joke.

803
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 4: That was which is kind of good advice.

804
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 3: I guess that's kind of true.

805
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 4: And so in a way, I went to the Velvet Room.

806
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 4: You write down the street, you're gonna want to take

807
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 4: a let. It's where your show is Sunday. It's kind

808
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 4: of the main drag. Bring a friend. That area has

809
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 4: gotten kind of sketchy. That's just a side thing. But yeah,

810
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 4: you're you're performing where I first did stand up and

811
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 4: I love that room.

812
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 1: I think you'll really have fun there. It's a great.

813
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 3: Oh that's amazing.

814
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna love it.

815
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 5: I hope I meet this man that you keep bringing.

816
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 5: Oh my god, could you imagine I would be like

817
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 5: Chris Bairbanks and he's gonna be mag who's that?

818
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 3: Uh Like, don't mention that name around here? We can't

819
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 3: not during Moontower, not ring Moontower.

820
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, it's weird way to realize I've been blacklisted.

821
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 3: Yep.

822
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, he might be around. I think Matt still does

823
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 4: stand up. Yeah, you might see him.

824
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: I can't wait.

825
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 5: My eyes peeled.

826
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, just keep your eyelids. Cut your eyelids off your face.

827
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 3: That's really funny though, that advice because the first contest

828
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 3: I was in two contests, and one was a smaller

829
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 3: one before the bigger one than I was talking about earlier.

830
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 3: And the first one I was was just like at

831
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 3: the it was basically an open mic that I went to.

832
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 3: But then they were like, Okay, well now we're gonna

833
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 3: pick the best one or whatever. And so there was

834
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: Andy Kindler and then the Andy Killer was the middler

835
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 3: that week at the club Downtown, and the headliner whose

836
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: name I cannot remember. I apologize. The headliner was there

837
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 3: and he told me, take ten jokes, number one to ten,

838
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 3: best to worst, one to ten. Take number ten, you

839
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 3: put it at number four. You take number nine, you

840
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 3: put it at number and he literally told me the mathematics, wow,

841
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 3: take number one, you put it at number ten. So

842
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 3: I need that.

843
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: I need that. Actually nobody ever told me that.

844
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 3: But it's kind of what that guld. It's basically it's

845
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 3: essentially I think it's arguable the numbers in between, but

846
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 3: it's basically he's saying, take your best joke and put

847
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 3: it at the end, take your second best joke, put

848
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 3: it at the beginning, and then basically within their order

849
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 3: so that you have weak.

850
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: Stuff and recovery, don't go.

851
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 3: Into week stuff early. Like now I understand it. At

852
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 3: the time, I was like, what a heck, Like I

853
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 3: wanted to judge it for it where I was like,

854
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 3: he's helping you so much, But he basically was like

855
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 3: saying like start strong, yeah, and then get like if

856
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 3: you have to get weak, get weak in the middle

857
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 3: so that you've already built up a little good will,

858
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 3: and then end strong again.

859
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

860
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 3: Essentially so they don't remember you as having been pretty

861
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 3: good as opposed to just kind of like start strong,

862
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 3: peter out, leave crying.

863
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 4: No, that is still what I do, but I cry

864
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 4: in the middle and recover at the end.

865
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 5: I will say I absolutely did not do that for

866
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 5: my album recording, would you do? I started fine, and

867
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 5: then I think the best stuff is at the end

868
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 5: of the album.

869
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 1: I think that that that's okay to ramp up like that.

870
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 5: Sure, yeah, yeah it was. It's like a roller coaster,

871
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 5: you know. I think actually I do think it peaks

872
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 5: like halfway through the album is my favorite joke, and

873
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 5: then like at the end, there's like a bunch of

874
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 5: jokes that I like, but the first like maybe four

875
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 5: or five tracks, they're fine in my opinion.

876
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: Like where on that album favorite do you do? You

877
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: have your Uh?

878
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 4: If I were a cannibal, newborn babies would be the

879
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 4: most delicious meat.

880
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm butchering the joke.

881
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have the best baby eating joke that I

882
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 4: know in the business.

883
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: Is that on?

884
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 5: It is on the album and it's right before the

885
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 5: very last track.

886
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 4: I yeah, I loved watching you because we did a

887
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 4: few shows together in Portland. It was fun to watch

888
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 4: the because maybe at the time that was a newer

889
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 4: joke for you, and it was like, yeah, it's.

890
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 5: I mean, compared to like the rest of my album,

891
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 5: it is quite like a new joke.

892
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but I watched it progress and the audience like,

893
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 4: because if you talk about eating human babies, some people

894
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 4: they're just trained to not listen to the joke part.

895
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, I don't like those words together.

896
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 4: But then by the last night killing you were killing

897
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 4: killing those babies.

898
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 3: Do you have cannibalizing babies on your setlist for tonight?

899
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

900
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, that's that's my j and I do feel

901
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 5: like it's the joke that if I tell it, audience

902
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 5: members remember the.

903
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 4: Most I can. And I could tell that you were

904
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 4: enjoying telling that joke, because that's a joke where for

905
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 4: a minute you kind of lose the audience and you

906
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 4: know that that's happening, and you know that you're looking

907
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 4: forward to a minute later when you those lines bring

908
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 4: you recovery, and then they like it. It's kind of

909
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 4: fun to play with that moment and even milk that moment, like,

910
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 4: let's see how long I can let them not like

911
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 4: me so I can recover after this.

912
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: I kind of like that.

913
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it's like kind of my style. Of comedy,

914
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 5: or what I prefer is kind of losing the audience

915
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 5: for a bit to see if I can get them back.

916
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's fine. You know.

917
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 5: I'm like, I don't need you to laugh the entire time.

918
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 5: I want you to be uncomfortable for a bit.

919
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do have a few of those moments.

920
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 3: But I also think when you do stuff like that,

921
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 3: it's because and I could I think that this attitude

922
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 3: is incorrect for overall success and stand up comedy, So

923
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 3: don't listen to me. But I do like that, And

924
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: maybe it's being a female comic you have. I always

925
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 3: had that thing of like I have to prove early

926
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 3: on I am fine and I'm in charge, or they'll

927
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 3: fucking like show no weakness, right you kind of they

928
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 3: don't trust you automatically, they're worried for you, which means

929
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 3: then they're kind of mad at you. And this is

930
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 3: like in the nineties, so it could be a little

931
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 3: different now where it's evened out maybe a little. But

932
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 3: I always felt that thing of having to like say

933
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 3: dangerous quote unquote things to show them like I'll do

934
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 3: I'll do what those dudes do. Plus some you know

935
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like I'll give a fuck, and that

936
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 3: idea of then almost like a show of strength, just

937
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 3: so they'll fucking really and let me get some laughs.

938
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 3: That was always kind of my fucked up thinking about it,

939
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 3: where just like that idea of like, yes, I'm not

940
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 3: uncomfortable in this silence, but I know you are, and

941
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 3: I'm like I'm the one in control. I think that's

942
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 3: a great that's a great move on stage.

943
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

944
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's you think that it's I was gonna say,

945
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 4: my reaction was going to be like, well, that's just

946
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 4: how it was in the nineties. But you can go

947
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 4: to many different parts of the country and it's still

948
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 4: the nineties as far as that audience is, like they

949
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 4: they're still like think that they're gonna heckle you or

950
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 4: get attacked, or that it's or the contest that we

951
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 4: were talking about competitions.

952
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that's kind of over.

953
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 4: There's yes, there's no more stand up competitions anymore.

954
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: It's not like.

955
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 4: A vibrato a confidence contest. I like where stand up

956
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 4: has gone and is right now.

957
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: It's pretty gigory.

958
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 5: Also, I feel like with contests, it's like a certain

959
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 5: style of comedy will always tend to do better. Yeh yeah, contests, Yes,

960
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Yes, it's like I'm never

00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 5: gonna win a contest because I like to like kind

962
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 5: of fuck with the audience, and they don't like that

963
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 5: to vote for, right, you know, yeah, They're like, no,

964

966
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,479
Speaker 3: Or the guy that one contest I was talking about.

967
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 3: The guy that won was chocking. It was it was

968
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty nine, I think or nineteen ninety, so he

969
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 3: was talking about the war and how great it was

970
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 3: and let's hear for our troops and this he had

971
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 3: a whole bit at the end that absolutely was like

972
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 3: jingoistic and just playing on those heartstrings and like support

973
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 3: our troops. So then he won, and everybody else is like,

974
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 3: you know who was in that contest? Brian Posain, Vernon Chapman,

975
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 3: some of the fucking best stand ups there were, and

976
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 3: this person one who look he was you know, he

977
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 3: was an accomplished comedian.

978
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: Was it? John Morgan the Rage in Cajun No All.

979
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 3: I remember he had a very fancy silk suit on

980
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 3: and he just kind of it was just kind of

981
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 3: like he was talking to the people. It was Citrus Heights, California.

982
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 3: He knew that audience and he knew what was kind

983
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 3: of like going to get the applause going and stuff,

984
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 3: whereas I was literally up there like singing like Annie

985
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 3: and like how come I didn't win? We're just like

986
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 3: no one needs your bullshit lady.

987
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: So oh god, I don't miss there.

988
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'll talk about him because I he was mean.

989
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 4: There was a guy that used to come to Capsity

990
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 4: every year and he had just won a lottery. So

991
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 4: he had a lot of money because he had somehow

992
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 4: won the lottery.

993
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 3: Whoa And do you know how much money?

994
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 4: I think it was millions and I think maybe his

995
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 4: wife even won it. And and Martha, oh my god,

996
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 4: Martha Kelly was featuring and she had and this was

997
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 4: you know, early two thousands. She had an act and

998
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 4: a demeanor that was easy for a Texas audience to like,

999
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 4: she's not confident, she's not in control, and they kind

1000
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 4: of turned on her. And then he went up and

1001
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 4: he's had He's like, let's everyone just take take our

1002
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 4: hands and wipe the ar brow and know that that

1003
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 4: is over. It made me so mad, and then he

1004
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 4: closed by singing the national anthem, that's why, and he

1005
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 4: was he was saying racist, incredible things about the war

1006
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 4: one of whichever war. I think it was terror that

1007
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 4: we were fighting at that point, and I was mad

1008
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 4: and I went up to him. I'm like that you

1009
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 4: have to go apologize to Martha. That really hurt her feelings,

1010
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 4: and I think he did. But that guy, he's no good.

1011
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 1: And if you're listening right now, I stand right well, it's.

1012
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,879
Speaker 3: Like it was so mean because he kind of showed

1013
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 3: his colors. Because it's like, if you were a good comic,

1014
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 3: you would just start your act and that would make people,

1015
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It's just like, if somebody

1016
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 3: has a bad set before you for whatever reason, it's

1017
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 3: your job as the comic to just kind of like

1018
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 3: be the next thing. You don't have to like directly

1019
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 3: shit on people.

1020
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 4: He did for a while. Now, Yeah, I'll never forgive him.

1021
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,919
Speaker 4: I'm still mad. That wasn't a contest, But I think, yeah,

1022
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 4: those you don't see those guys much anymore, those angry

1023
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 4: old national anthem singers.

1024
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 5: I've never seen that at a show. And you guys

1025
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 5: are both like, yeah, they sang the national anthem after

1026
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 5: I'm like, this is insane.

1027
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 3: I've never heard of this. It's like pre Internet, you know,

1028
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 3: it's rough. It was tough out there, those those kinds

1029
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 3: of like well because also like now I feel like

1030
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 3: people have all seen great comedy for a sustained amount

1031
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 3: of time. So the people who rose up were like

1032
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 3: the people who didn't win those contests, but they made

1033
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 3: it to LA and then started like actually getting jobs, yeah,

1034
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 3: and were innovators and stuff. You know. That's that's the

1035
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 3: whole thing of like road comics versus like comments that

1036
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 3: went on to actually make it or whatever. Yeah, which

1037
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 3: is you know it with their divide was much greater

1038
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 3: back then in that way, I think. But now also

1039
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 3: there's just so much more comedy. Like back then the

1040
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 3: choices were so limited, and now it's just like so

1041
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 3: many people have tried it and can't do it, and

1042
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 3: there's it's just I love it now because as opposed

1043
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 3: to contests, you know, the Internet basically made things a

1044
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 3: communal and community and like it's you network and you

1045
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 3: make friends. That's how you get somewhere, not putting other

1046
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 3: people down or whatever like that. That kind of like

1047
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 3: I will best you, and then I will rise to success.

1048
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 3: It just does not work like that anymore, yea, which

1049
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 3: is great.

1050
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: That's why I think. I mean, do you like this

1051
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: whole roast thing?

1052
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 4: I like that kind of I don't ever want to

1053
00:51:58,920 --> 00:51:59,720
Speaker 4: roast anyone.

1054
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 5: I well, I don't want to participate in a roast

1055
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 5: really because first of all, it's a lot of homework for.

1056
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 3: Jo it's all burnt yeah this second, yeah, I'm like

1057
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 3: it's over.

1058
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 5: It's like, Okay, I'm making fun of one person who

1059
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 5: I'm never going to make fun of again, and I'm

1060
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 5: spending time I'm not getting paid.

1061
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 3: What is the point? Like that's dumb?

1062
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's mostly honestly for me, it's that I

1063
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 5: can like watch a roast and I'm like, okay, like

1064
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 5: I get it, but it's not It's definitely not my

1065
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 5: favorite type of comments.

1066
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1067
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe I'm on the fence about it because I

1068
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 4: do like writing mean jokes.

1069
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 3: But well, the thing is to be in a roast

1070
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 3: or for most of them, like roast battlely type stuff.

1071
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 3: Then you have to get roasted. And that's my thing

1072
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 3: where I'm like, oh, I've I've lived my whole life

1073
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 3: to not have to hear what people actually think of

1074
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 3: me and then have that made into like extrapolaid it

1075
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 3: out into jokes that an entire audience can enjoy like that,

1076
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 3: it would haunt me for the rest of my life.

1077
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 3: I was ever in a roast battle, be horrible.

1078
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that I just don't like that there's

1079
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 4: a winner and it might not be me. I went

1080
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 4: my whole life doing solo things, skateboarding and all that,

1081
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 4: and I didn't realize that I am very competitive and

1082
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 4: I but I just didn't like team sports. But I

1083
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,959
Speaker 4: get really I would get really emotional during those contests

1084
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 4: and think terrible things, and yeah, I'm I just got

1085
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:30,680

00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,399
Speaker 3: Wait. I just had the best idea. But I think

1118
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 3: it's only for I think it's for a very specific

1119
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 3: group of people. But what if we invented a clickable

1120
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 3: top water bottle that you use all the time, that

1121
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 3: always works, that always clicks, that like it's not really

1122
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,720
Speaker 3: doesn't have water in it. You can just take it

1123
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 3: almost like a fidget spin and that's your clicker. But

1124
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 3: it's it's your clicker that you just bring everywhere all

1125
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 3: the time. It's like, oh, that would be really comforting.

1126
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 3: You can have it, It's.

1127
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 4: True you don't. You maybe can't even put water in it.

1128
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 4: It's just disguised like a barbasol safe.

1129
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, a shaving cream safe.

1130
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,799
Speaker 3: You can put your schedule inside. Oh, the top is

1131
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 3: just a clicker.

00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 4: That was an interesting the festival and boys that they

00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 4: they had no You had to buy a stainless steel

1134

Speaker 4: cup and every I noticed everyone had it on a

1135
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 4: holster on their hip. And so at the end of

1136
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 4: the day there was no garbage on the ground. There

1137
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 4: was no cups being dispersed. You had to buy a

1138
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 4: cup and then people would get their drinks in. You

1139
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 4: didn't want to lose your cup otherwise you had to

1140
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 4: buy a new one, and so there was no trash.

Speaker 3: Oh well, thank you. Yeah.

1168
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 5: I didn't remember if we had met, because if we had,

1169
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, it's probably really brief because I

1170
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 5: know we hadn't had like a full conce.

1171
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 3: No, we've never we've never even said like, hey, how

1172
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 3: were your like the idea that you actually started somewhere

1173
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 3: but then really your home places. Sanrancis goes like me too,

1174
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 3: but uh, it just made me think. So it could

1175
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 3: have been that last year of Bridgetown, which was such

1176
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 3: a fun year too, Chris, I think you're yeah.

1177
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 4: Oh, I think that the year I met Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

1178
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 4: that could have been it.

1179
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 3: But it made me think of that that one theater

1180
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 3: that everything kind of was centered in, and they're the

1181
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 3: upstairs where there was a pool table. They kept putting

1182
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 3: pizzas out on pizzas and dances, and every time I

1183
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 3: would put there was water obviously everywhere, And every time

1184
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 3: I put my water bottle down, I would turn around

1185
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 3: and then there would be like fifty two water bottles

1186
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 3: and I'd be like, oh shit, which one's fine? And

1187
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 3: I would just go start a new one. Yeah, Like

1188
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 3: sod the waste that year alone, because everyone would do

1189
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 3: it where you just like take three SIPs and then

1190
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 3: you be like, hey, I have no idea which one

1191
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 3: is mine.

1192
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 5: They should have had like markers to label them.

1193
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, everyone has a little marker in a holster.

1194
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 4: I just want everyone to have a utility belt.

1195
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 3: Too hippy for me. I don't want to just.

1196
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 4: Be yeah, yeah, there, it doesn't it's not good for

1197
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 4: the silhouette, right.

1198
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 5: I will say at Bridgetown that was one of the

1199
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 5: worst bombs I've ever had for me and multiple comics.

1200
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 5: There was a Bay Area showcase where it was like

1201
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 5: comics that used to live in the Bay or lived

1202
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 5: in the Bay whatever at one of the Bridgetown shows

1203
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 5: and literally we all bombed so hard, like not a

1204
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 5: single laugh. I'll bring it up to like like I'd

1205
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 5: be like, hey, remember that time we bombed a Bridgetown

1206
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 5: and like they'll be like, oh my god, like how.

1207
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:48,479
Speaker 3: Could I forget?

1208
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: Where was that VFW was?

1209
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 3: It was not a VFW.

1210
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 5: I think it was like a bar, like a bar show,

1211
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 5: but but everyone bombed except Brent Weinbach murdered.

1212
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh wow. Do you feel comfortable naming other people

1213
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:04,080

1216
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 4: Bomb the hardest name we all well, I think we

1217
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 4: all just bombed.

1218
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 5: It was me, Andre Rolfo, j R. De Guzman and

1219
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 5: maybe I think there was one other comic and I

1220
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 5: can't remember who it was, but I just remember I'd

1221
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 5: like talk to JR. And Andrew about it and just

1222
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 5: just ate it so hard. Like anytime we'll be like,

1223
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 5: hey that one time, they're like, oh god, you know,

1224
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 5: it's just like PTSD Wait a.

1225
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 3: Second, was it in that bar? That had neon like

1226
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 3: black light paint on the walls.

1227
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:44,919
Speaker 1: Oh, I know what you're talking about.

1228
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 3: That. I remember there was a show where people it

1229
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 3: was it was kind of during the day and people

1230
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 3: came out and they were just like, oh my god,

1231
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 3: what just happened. And I don't think it was yours.

1232
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 3: I think it was another done.

1233
00:59:58,600 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 5: I think ours was.

1234
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 3: In the evening, but I don't remember the room.

1235
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: You're talking about it.

1236
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 4: We all have our desired setup, a short, normal stage,

1237
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 4: low ceiling, ideally to be in a corner, and then

1238
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 4: the room fans out to the audience who's in an

1239
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 4: elevated theater setting. But that room was just a pit,

1240
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 4: like a sunken bedroom, like a pit, so you're down

1241
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 4: lower than everyone and everyone was just looking down at

1242
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 4: you on the ground floor, and there's like a cat

1243
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 4: walk around. It was more like a dog fight situation,

1244
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 4: like where you would hold or chicken whatever kind of

1245
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 4: fights you go to.

1246
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: Chickens or dogs usually is what I end up at.

1247
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 4: But that's yeah, it's not good for comedymedy.

1248
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah that was.

1249
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was It was net part of the theater,

1250
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 4: like there was a big, big room and then the

1251
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 4: side room was the neon room, and it was just

1252
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 4: everyone came out yeah, white as a ghost.

1253
01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 3: People suffered. People suffered in that room. Also that I

1254
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 3: feel like that year. I think that was the year

1255
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 3: that Gallagher showed up. Yeah, and he was on Andy

1256
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 3: and Matt's Probably Science podcast and he immediately started saying

1257
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 3: offensive things on purpose, and the audience is like, oh,

1258
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 3: and then it just kind of kept going and then

1259
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 3: we were like, oh, this is just a crazy old

1260
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 3: guy now.

1261
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 4: An angry guy that had seventeen HBO specials where he

1262
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 4: used to joyfully jump on a trampoline couch and now

1263
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 4: he will just list all the different races that are

1264
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 4: a problem or you know, like he's really it's.

1265
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 3: Sad that it was sad, and also that it almost

1266
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 3: was like kind of a early warning of that thing

1267
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 3: what was happening to people where it's just like, oh,

1268
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 3: you've been left alone with your like the bad websites

1269
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 3: too long, that kind of like, oh, you know how

1270
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 3: it is with these fill in the blank of it

1271
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 3: pretty much anybody besides a white man like that crazy

1272
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 3: thing where and he's a comedy festival where the average

1273
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 3: ages thirty five, where it's like, who are you talking?

1274
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 3: To right now like it was rough.

1275
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 4: I think he felt because I did try to calmly

1276
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 4: talk to him and let acknowledge that I remember who

1277
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 4: he was and that I watched all his specials, and.

1278
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 3: Then he was like he was it was the problem.

1279
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 4: I think he thought everyone he was there as a

1280
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 4: joke and everyone was there to shit on him and

1281
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 4: turn on like he thought that he was a punchline

1282
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 4: because he kind of became one because he was.

1283
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: Being a dick to everyone.

1284
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1285
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: But the most symbolic thing about him being.

1286
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 4: There is he had a hat that had what his

1287
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 4: hair used to look like attached to the brim of it,

1288
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 4: and they put it over his patchy, existing gollum like hair.

1289
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 3: Wait, did he was it for a joke?

1290
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 1: No?

1291
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 4: No, he had like a pay hat, yeah, a two

1292
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 4: pay hat.

1293
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was just yeah, just to have for the

1294
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 1: old looks. And I just.

1295
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 3: Remember that thing happened in that neon room also, so

1296
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:14,440

Speaker 1: Was that a joke?

1357
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,919
Speaker 3: Uh no, not just wear the mirror where he'd comb

1358
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 3: his hair and he'd have meetings you know.

1359
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:13,919
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he'd bring people in there and they'd chat

1360
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 4: shed out by the toilet.

1361
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you couldn't do it in a booth. There's

1362
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 3: no rules.

1363
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 1: Private it's private time. That's why.

1367
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 4: with being boring.

1368
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 3: That's what I reins doing with the lotion that you

1369
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 3: get from the hotel, which is so hilarious, Like I'm

1370
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 3: gonna do my routine and then it's like, what moistureser

1371
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 3: do you use? You know? Whatever's there that fucking weird

1372
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 3: little thing of like the moisturizer that somehow is dry

1373
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 3: as you're putting it on, Like.

1374
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you gotta watch where you put it.

1375
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 3: Got it?

1376
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: Oh there it is, Yeah, that'll leave it.

1377
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 5: Oh no, I'm holding it up to the camera.

1378
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: That's good.

1379
01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,959
Speaker 5: This is this is the lotion that came with the room.

1380
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 3: Is it pretty good?

1381
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 4: That seems like a good brand, that seems there I've

1382
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 4: never heard of the ingredients are on it.

1383
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 3: You'll know tonight. Yeah, as you watch it.

1384
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 5: I feel like in most nice hotels have pretty good

1385
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 5: lotion decent.

1386
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 4: A lot of them don't anymore, and I think that's

1387
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 4: because filthy men use it to mastrobate, not to bring

1388
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 4: This isn't a dirty podcast, and it's not usually something

1389
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 4: Karen and I talk about, but I have I suspect

1390
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 4: that is why, because sometimes I need lotion and it's

1391
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 4: not in the room to masturbate with, and it's not

1392
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 4: in the room anymore.

1393
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: They've quit giving it.

1394
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 4: They're like, oh, there's two shampoos, there's a place to

1395
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 4: put the lotion, but they just add extra shampoo.

1396
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to make that mistake twice.

1397
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 3: If that's what you're going to be abusing this lotion with,

1398
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 3: and we will.

1399
01:07:54,400 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 5: Then you shampoo, you shampoo, use.

1400
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 3: Up moisturizing shampoo. That'll work. Yeah, that'll wait, that'll be fine.

1401
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 3: I just remember there's been times where going on the

1402
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 3: road and being like I want to make this bag.

1403
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,520
