00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: in the very back of the plane and kind of

236
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 2: a bench pattern. So there's like two ladies sitting on

237
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: the left of me, and then two ladies that sit

238
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 2: on the right on me, and they all know each other. Oh,

239
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: and I'm right in the middle, and you're high and

240
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: I'm high, and shit, and it really starts kicking in.

241
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: I just started sweating and I hear them chatting and

242
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,080

249
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: I have like the tiniest puff of a joint and

250
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm like sweating between four ladies talking about me in

251
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:08,360

Speaker 1: are mad at me. I can't tell if the situation

254
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,000

Speaker 2: I spiral, so you feel I always feel like weeds

256
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: more Like you talk about alcohol being a blocker, and

257
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: I feel like marijuana, like cases, is an enhancer. And

258
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: sometimes if you have like this anxiety or if you

259
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 2: have these insecurities, that it will actually shine a light

260
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: on them, and you think that is what happens to you.

261
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it also has a depressive quality to it

262
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: for me, where I kind of like ruminate on the

263
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: bad thoughts that I can like keep at bay while

264
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,680

00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: that was because you were so peaceful, and then I

269
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: realized it because you need, like I need to medic.

00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: started huffing and your blood was oiling and you just

Speaker 1: before you. Have you ever had that experience?

342
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember if I did do that.

343
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: I huffed ether on stage one time? Is that?

344
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: What's the R fuels?

345
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: They use it in photo labs and then and it

346
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: fuels small propeller planes.

347
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: Why did you do that?

348
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Oh, it was a high show and

349
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: I go, I don't really smoke weed, but I and

350
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, well, everybody's high on the thing,

351
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, and I wasn't drinking that much.

352
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: Then I was like, I have ether at my house.

353
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: I could get a rag and huff ether. And they

354
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: were like okay, and then.

355
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: Like yeah, I would have been my reaction. Actually, I

356
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: would have been like, you don't have to, you know what,

357
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: we'll make an exception.

358
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: I huffed ether on stage, and it's really dangerous. It's

359
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: incredibly flammable. It's so flammable you can't keep it in

360
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: your house. And you don't want to be really huffing

361
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: indoors that much. Because somebody lights a lighter you can.

362
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 2: I don't think you want to be huffing outdoors.

363
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: It's not it's really bad. I remember huffing ether. My

364
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: friend had a Easter party and I was like, I'll

365
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: be the ether bunny, and I came and I huffed ether,

366
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: and uh, the girl I was dating out of them.

367
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: It makes your breath freakak Greek Greek. It smells like

368
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: nail polish remover and I was really ripping it, and uh,

369
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: it was great. I got really high. It can't be

370
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: good for you. No, it's really gnarly. No, it's truly

371
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: done a couple of times, and one of the times

372
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: was on stage.

373
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 2: I really can't even get to a point where i'd been, like,

00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: I see myself trying. I can't. No, I don't see

00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: that happening for me. I can't do mushrooms on stage.

00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: That's that's to me too far from I did that once.

377
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: I get way too like everything seems like it's gonna

378
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: be great and none of it hits.

379
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,440

00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: How was that show? Bad?

390
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 2: Not good? Not a good time? Oh, I can tell

391
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 2: you the highest that I've been on age. I had

392
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 2: not spoken weed in a couple of weeks because I

393
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 2: went to Tokyo and Kyoto and Osaka for New Year's Eve.

394
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: Trip, and Tokyo for a New Year's Eve trip.

395
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: It's a great time.

396
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cool.

397
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: Last I'm gonna try to do it again this New

398
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: Year's Eve. And then in Osaka they have English speaking

399
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 2: comedy club, and so my second wife I said to

400
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 2: her second wife, Uh, I said to her two of three,

401
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: let's go check out the comedy you know, let's go

402
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: to this open mic and to watch some comedians. And

403
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: then I remember how this happened, but somebody in the

404
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: club reached out to me and they found I was coming,

405
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: and so, unbeknownst to me, the open mic started becoming

406
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 2: promoted as a show. As I was going to be

407
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: performing at the show and they were going to open

408
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: for me. Didn't tell me any of this, and so

409
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: I just was like, I'm gonna go this open mic.

410
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll do a couple of minutes. I had the

411
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: last like three edibles that I brought with me to Japan,

412
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 2: and so I took those and because I hadn't been

413
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: smoking anything, they were hitting real hard. So I was like, oh,

414
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 2: I go up second or third pap a couple before

415
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: we start the show. And then they're like, no, you're

00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 2: gonna we want you to go last on your rips

417
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 2: yoh yeah. And so I was super fucking high and

00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: a single joke I could remember.

422
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: So you were just like on stage like the.

423
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,760

00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: is why your second wife. And I just bombed super hard,

427
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 2: and I just remember there was like this drag queen

428
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 2: that was there just watching the show and we talked

429
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: before and she's telling me about the show that they

430
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: were gonna do later before I bombed. And I get

431
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: up there and I'm doing things and I was like, oh,

432
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna. I was like, I'll figure it out'll figure

433
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: it out. I'm gonna, like I'll figure out joking eventually,

434
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: and then the dragon just goes. You could just finish, honey.

435
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: She was right, yeah, yeah, what are we doing it for?

436
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 2: Yeah? But I mean, and that's why I actually I

437
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: don't bomb. It doesn't hurt as much anymore because to me,

438
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: it was really fun and it was a real marker.

439
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: WI.

440
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: My wife was super mad. She was I have no

441
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: idea what she was mad. Second wife was man and

442
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: I was like, no, don't you see how fun this is?

443
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: Like I'm hey, how the fun did I get to Osaka?

444
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: Who the fuck thought that I would ever be in

445
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: O soccer Japan doing stand up comedy? And who thought

446
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 2: I bomb open mic in Osaka, Japan? This as fun

447
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: as hell. I'm just gonna go to seven eleven and

448
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: get some ice cream. And I had a blast. I

449
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: loved it. I think bombing is great because I never

450
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: played sports. I never did competitive things when I was younger,

451
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: And if it wasn't for bombing, I wouldn't know how

452
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: to handle failure. It's really helped me go through the marriages.

453
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 2: It's helped me dating and helped me with business. When

454
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: people pass on my pitches or whatever, I's like, oh,

455
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: I get rejected all the time.

456
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: It's not going to stop rejection. Yeah exactly, Yeah, yeah,

457
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. Bombing makes you stronger for sure.

458
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 2: True, for sure.

459
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: You can get through that. You can get through anything.

460
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: It is like an emotional death. It's ego death, right,

461
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means all the time, but.

462
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 2: Well it's really the most Yeah, if you asked me

463
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: at the time before I started, But if you asked

464
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 2: me what my biggest fear, if you it would probably

465
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 2: been second place to death of being like, oh, what

466
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: would it feel like if I bomb? What would it

467
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: feel like if I just suck so much and you

468
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 2: go through it and you're like, oh, that fucking sucked,

469
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: but I'm still here.

470
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, You're still alive, and you're like, oh, fuck, I

471
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: could just have fun. Yeah.

472
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: I've been loving it now, especially more that I've been

473
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: able to work on TV shows and like have money

474
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 2: that's not relying on me touring. I'm just like, oh,

475
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: I'm always trying, like fuck, you may.

476
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: Hate this, yeah, yeah, that's a great place to be. Yeah,

477
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: that's a great you may hate this is a perfect place.

478
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: I think it really experiment on stage, you see, and

479
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: then if you win, if you find a new joke,

480
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: it's the best feeling in the world.

481
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

482
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: Just keeping that joke fresh is also tough. I feel like, yeah,

483
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: because a joke and rot, yeah sucks. I think it's

484
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: that's the most painful feeling.

485
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: I think jokes rot when you're not being authentic to

486
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: the moment when it was like some jokes that were

487
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 2: true in the past.

488
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: Right, they were true to your in the past, and

489
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: then once they get like you're just phoning them in,

490
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: they'll lose their magical.

491
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 2: No, I'm just gonna read that.

492
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,440
