I 0:08:58.559 --> 0:08:59.400 wanted friendship. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:00.560 You need your. 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:06.880 To escape into the Curryo cabinet. I wanted friendship. No, 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.439 I no, I get the vibe of like wanting to 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.760 this right here? Is just always a change of did 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.160 you move? You never moved. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.000 I moved from Pittsburgh to Kent State, Ohio. So I understand, 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.040 can't you went to college there? I went to college. 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:21.720 So after college? Where did you move to? 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:22.920 After college? I went to New York? 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:23.719 See, so you did this? 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.280 What is your I did this? I My advice would 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.040 be to don't put the car before the horse. I 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.360 really would try to enjoy all those firsts that you're doing, 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.880 like your real first job, your real first, like love, 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.960 your real first, like great friends, you know, and if 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.080 you're feeling like you got the itch, then get in 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.440 a car, take a road trip, go somewhere and make 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.520 that part of the college experience. 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.000 Or and you moved you you did this, you chased 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.560 I did dream, you wanted to get out and it 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.040 worked out for you. Yeah, so then why aren't you 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:53.920 pro go do it? 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.040 I would be but I'd say get get your reps 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.360 on your health. Correct. Do you ever regret about becoming comic? 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.679 Every day? 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.840 Oh? You're a comic? I think. See that's the thing 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:07.640 that you get because you made fun of me with 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:08.480 the curio cabinet. 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.640 So how does it feel, Stevie? It's a tie game, Okay, 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.520 I don't want to find We're just two moms. 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.640 Were just two moms. We still have to be we 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:22.720 still have to go to home goods. I you you 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.240 did with this. You wanted that bigger field, to chase 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:25.600 a dream. 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.320 Though the kid gets the itch, you want to go 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:29.920 for it and all that stuff. But I just think, 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:31.600 don't don't be in a rush. If I could tell 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.559 myself something early on, That's what I'm getting. Don't be 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.319 in a rush. Just relax, enjoy this. You know you're 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:37.920 gonna have all the time in the world to get 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.160 ahead of all this stuff, and you're so young right 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.319 now and and make some you know, makes a mistake. 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.760 Makes some mistakes for sure. I think that is a 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.959 big thing that people don't realize is they put a 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.480 ticking clock on it. You have time, there might not 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.040 be tomorrow and all that. Yes, I get all that 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.800 perspective and all this, but you also don't want to 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.000 rush at You're talking about a guy who got famous 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.800 or in his late thirties, you know what I mean. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.040 So I think that the rush factor, I don't really, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.440 I don't really. It doesn't doesn't sing to me. I 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:14.000 don't get that because if I rushed and tried to 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:15.720 do what I did. I think you get funnier as 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.080 you get older, or you think you get more you 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.280 need life experience to make you more of the person. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.960 Yeah. And it's like I remember John Lennon saying something 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.480 along the lines like, you know, London's always going to 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.520 be there when he came to New York and people like, 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:28.960 don't you miss He's like, it's always gonna be there. 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.600 It's the same thing, like New York City is always 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.760 going to be here. I understand you want to get 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.880 into it, but yeah, take a road trip, visit New York. Yeah, 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.320 hang out, start to explore, get to know it, bring 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.560 some friends along, get a friend, go solo. One of 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.600 my good friends that lives here a very popular comic. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:50.200 He took solo road trips. He'd take his mom's minivan 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.959 and drive up to Montreal where he drove up to 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.960 Toronto and really go for day trips by himself. And 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.720 he was I think he was a senior in high school. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.960 Really Colin. Jos just want to Colin. But Colin used 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:05.560 to get in his mom's video and just drive up 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.720 and have like these solo adventures. And he said they 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.080 were They were really cool at the time because he 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:12.880 was like, fuck, I'm just going to go and explore. 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.640 And he made like a friend or two and then 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.320 he'd go back up. And I think that's pretty quiet. 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.360 I would love to have done that. Like when we 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.000 were in college, we went in spring break, we went 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.720 to Toronto. Everybody was going down south, like, let's just 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.440 do what nobody's doing. Maybe there's a reason for it, 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.920 but let's go to Toronto. And we went to Toronto and 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.800 had the best time, the best time, and it's always 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:33.600 what you make of it, right, Just. 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:37.120 Grab some dragons and go north. That's basically the takeover. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.920 So I hope that I think the takeaway there is just, yeah, 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.160 don't be afraid to dabble before you dive in. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.560 Yeah yeah, get a lay of the land a little bit, 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.200 get your education in because you. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.240 Don't want to come here because it's very overwhelming the city. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:51.800 You don't want to come here and just have shell 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:53.480 shock and go. You need to know what you're coming into. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.320 That's the other part of the equation is that there 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.360 are so many people that think they're ready for it 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.920 or take the nest. They're just like, I'm in, and 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.880 then the city has a propensity to kick everybody's ass, 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.960 everybody's ass. I so many of my friends went from 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.800 New York to Los Angeles, for example, and they could 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.200 tough it out in New York, but they couldn't make 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.480 it through LA And within a year they were always gone. 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.200 They always left. And I was just like, I got 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.080 if I'm going, it's got to be the right time, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.640 and I got to know it's gonna suck, but you 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.640 got to weather the storm because to like live here 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.199 and you know, to like, come here, pack your bags, 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:33.640 come to Manhattan. It's a totally that first year or two, 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:35.440 it's brutal beast. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:36.800 Yeah, they say it's. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.920 Doing everything to get you out of here. It's like 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.080 all the obstacles are coming at you. You're like, no, 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:42.000 you don't belong here. 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.240 They say that the six months mark in New York 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.080 in LA is the hardest part. And I remember five 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.400 and a half months in being on my rooftop in 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.280 the rain, listening to the song All the Above by. 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.840 Teeth Man, and there's just some things I just wish 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.120 you wouldn't share with me. I really, I can't even 0:13:58.160 --> 0:13:59.920 look at you. I'm look at the lavender like. 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.160 But I was on the phone with sal My, one 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:03.320 of my best friends. I was on the phone with 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.400 sal and he said, dude, just tough it out, it out, 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:06.880 just hanging a little bit longer. And I hung in 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.480 a little bit longer, and I did it, and then 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.080 I didn't want to leave, and I and I had 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.960 a great experience in l A. I think that is 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.960 there is a point in any any new city where 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:17.959 you'll be up there in the rain listening to the 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.880 t paint. So just you're all the above is McKenna 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:27.200 is what I'm saying. Okay, sorry, next question, wait, moving 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.160 off there in the rain. I cannot wait. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:31.560 To listen to the song as soon as the show 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.880 is over. All of the above by Teapaint is this 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.720 is this like a you got it kid kind of song, 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:38.000 like a sad morosa. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.760 It became no, it became my, It became my.

When I 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:50.440 go out to eat, I don't like to go get 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.600 stuff that I could really cook. I can't do anudan. 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:56.560 I tried. Oh my oh god. It was so bad. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.400 It was such a it was so chewy. I did 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.960 like I did it wrong. It was like a hog see. 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.960 Because pasta's yeah, we all know how to cook. By 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.280 the way, on the pasta boxes, it always says eight 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:06.600 to ten. 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.640 It's never eight to ten to ten. It's always like fifteen. 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.320 To twenty because you gotta wait till you gotta wait 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.080 for a heavy boil. And that's the problem. Most people don't. 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:15.880 They wait for a boil, a bubble. You need a 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.200 heavy boil, you need a cauldron, you need to be 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.520 like a witch's brew up in this shit, and that's 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.120 when you're dropping for an eight to ten. But most 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:23.880 people come for a bubble. You see the bubble. 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.320 It's like I'm in now, it's yeah, yeah, So is 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.000 that really the percent? Yeah? 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.000
