Speaker 2: He's not getting all. He was filled up with girls.
Speaker 2: He's got no shoulders at him, look at him. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So she was like ripping me apart, like to defend me,
Speaker 3: which is really funny. And then at the end, I
Speaker 3: was like, I was like, I just I said, I'm
Speaker 3: just he didn't do anything.
Speaker 1: I trip myself, and she was like, don't cover for him,
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, really I didn't.
Speaker 3: And she goes She's like, well, you don't think I
Speaker 3: could tell a fake trip and whatever. And so then
Speaker 3: the next day I did it again and then she
Speaker 3: was She looked at me and I said and she was,
Speaker 3: and then she like laughed and then I just every
Speaker 3: and it just got more and more. Like I would
Speaker 3: take out desks, I would like flip over the desk,
Speaker 3: I would make up, and like everybody await for me
Speaker 3: to come in, and like she wouldn't even start class
Speaker 3: until I like finally took a seat. And I did
Speaker 3: it every day, and then one year after I graduated,
Speaker 3: I came back to visit her and I did it
Speaker 3: out side her door, coming in and everybody in the
Speaker 3: class laughed and was like, oh he fell and she's like, nope,
Speaker 3: he meant it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did it when I got my award going
Speaker 1: up on stage.
Speaker 3: I got a not my diploma, and my mother made
Speaker 3: me promise I wouldn't do it when I got my diploma.
Speaker 3: But I got an award for something and I bid
Speaker 3: it on and as I was coming down.
Speaker 1: There was like trip, trip, trip, and I fell down
Speaker 1: the stairs coming off the stage. I remember that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, prat Phone was my thing still it still is
Speaker 3: in life. But I did a in high school that
Speaker 3: was like that was the thing that I would do.
Speaker 3: I think she was my favorite teacher because she embraced it.
Speaker 1: Like sure, and she was like, let me be myself,
Speaker 1: and she was, and.
Speaker 3: She was just a really nice lady. How about you
Speaker 3: have a favorite teacher? Now you don't even remember any
Speaker 3: of them. You weren't a good student or.
Speaker 2: No, horrible, really horrible student, one of the worst pick up.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't pick up that vibe from you, awful.
Speaker 2: Be No, I still have. I saw that memes somebody
Speaker 2: somebody made where it's like this old guy he's like
Speaker 2: in his fifties, like this and he's like, oh, and
Speaker 2: it's like when you have a dream that you that
Speaker 2: you missed a college finals and you're not going to
Speaker 2: graduate but you're in your fifties. It was like this,
Speaker 2: Oh my guy just looks so and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god. It was so funny. But I do
Speaker 2: have those nightmares where me too, I'm like, I'm not
Speaker 2: going to graduate, and I have it all the time.
Speaker 2: And even when I graduated, I was like, how did
Speaker 2: I do this? Because I never went to class. I
Speaker 2: like I would have finals. I'd be like, I didn't
Speaker 2: go to class at all, Like, how am I going
Speaker 2: to do this?
Speaker 3: Did you do college? Yeah, Kent State, that's right? And
Speaker 3: then you graduate?
Speaker 1: What was your degree?
Speaker 2: Again? I forgot the theater and I'm sweating a theater degree.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you how bad I was. I never got
Speaker 2: cast in one play. I can't you had a sitcom?
Speaker 2: I I know, I know it's crazy. I never got
Speaker 2: I auditioned, but I never got cast. One didn't even
Speaker 2: make it, like.
Speaker 1: You know, background background, actor number four.
Speaker 2: Nothing, You couldn't eve get number four. Nothing with a theater,
Speaker 2: get anything with a theater?
Speaker 1: Agree with my goodness, man, you picked the wrong thing
Speaker 1: you do age.
Speaker 2: I did the monologues, I did all the things. I
Speaker 2: was always like rigging lights and like doing set design
Speaker 2: and building everything. And I was like, can I get
Speaker 2: on the stage ort someone never got it. And then
Speaker 2: like I graduate and there were some really talented kids
Speaker 2: in my in my class, like really like hard working.
Speaker 3: Way to make itself feel better about it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talent. I was going up against
Speaker 1: a lot of talent. Barry was great.
Speaker 2: God, Jennifer, Lawrence, Denzel there. He just pop in and
Speaker 2: be like, hey, Steve, can you want to see it?
Speaker 1: Like now, dude, actually making me such a better actor.
Speaker 2: Everybody, but uh, you never got cast anything. And then
Speaker 2: like I think three years after that, BT's Comicview was
Speaker 2: my first, which was kind of crazy, but that was
Speaker 2: my first TV stand up appearance because Will Sylvans and
Speaker 2: talent ran this room at the Boston Comedy Club, so
Speaker 2: they had me. They were so kind. I would get
Speaker 2: to go up and do like these urban shows, and
Speaker 2: so I felt like those were the only shows that
Speaker 2: I was I was like doing my first year or
Speaker 2: two in the city. So then somebody had seen me
Speaker 2: at one of those and I got Comic view, and
Speaker 2: I was like, Wow, I got a I got my
Speaker 2: first TV thing. And I was like kind of looking
Speaker 2: around at everybody else. I can't nobody had gotten anything.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, to get a sitcom, and you know,
Speaker 2: it was like.
Speaker 1: Wow, I couldn't get on that stage.
Speaker 2: I couldn't get in college nothing.
Speaker 1: So you made the jump to stand up. But when
Speaker 1: you went for your theater degree, what was What did
Speaker 1: you think your future was? What didn't wait? This is great,
Speaker 1: this is fascinating to me.
Speaker 2: So what did you think you were going to.
Speaker 1: Be when you grew up? When you were in college.
Speaker 2: I did think I would be involved in theater in
Speaker 2: some capacity. I really did enjoy scene design. I enjoyed
Speaker 2: rigging the lights and working on the grid. I thought
Speaker 2: I thought it was fun.
Speaker 1: So behind this was school.
Speaker 2: But then I also wanted to act, but wasn't given
Speaker 2: the opportunity to do right. And I'll never forget this.
Speaker 2: I moved to the city. I was doing stand up
Speaker 2: for maybe three months, and I'd read a thing about
Speaker 2: in backstage. Backstage they were hiring somebody. They were looking
Speaker 2: for an actor for a play about the Chinese Mao's Revolution.
Speaker 1: Okay, and so.
Speaker 2: I was given some guy had just quit, and I
Speaker 2: had forty eight hours to learn the whole play. Because
Speaker 2: I got I showed up, I did the thing. They're like, great,
Speaker 2: you're hired. Good. I think they just needed somebody. So
Speaker 2: they're like, here's a VHS tape of the show. Memorize it.
Speaker 2: Here's your line. And I had to watch the TV
Speaker 2: in a mirror so I could get the blocking right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I was watching it in reverse. But I I
Speaker 2: forty eight hours, I memorized the whole thing. I was
Speaker 2: ready to go, and I had zero clue what I
Speaker 2: was doing there. I zero idea what the show is about.
Speaker 2: I was like breaking during these like dramatic parts because
Speaker 2: I'm like, I am, what the am I doing here?
Speaker 2: And they're like she's dying, Like why you.
Speaker 1: Lights out?
Speaker 2: It was like Jimmy Fallon on SNL, Like, I'm like
Speaker 2: breaking character in this thing. And I'll never forget the
Speaker 2: guy who was the who was the director, producer? Whatever's
Speaker 2: off off Broadway. So it's it's kind of like Broadway.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a big deal. It's a big
Speaker 2: deal here. Yeah, for sure. He goes, uh, we're all
Speaker 2: having a cast dinner and he looked at me. This
Speaker 2: is when I started breaking, by the way. Prior to
Speaker 2: I was very serious about it. He looked at me
Speaker 2: across the table while we're eating and he's like, I
Speaker 2: just want to thank you guys all for doing such
Speaker 2: a great job. Thank you The show's great and I'm
Speaker 2: very proud of it, and I hope you guys are too.
Speaker 2: And he's like, you know, you're you see the talent
Speaker 2: and a mass to the table and he looked at me.
Speaker 2: He goes, and you know, there's just some people that
Speaker 2: just shouldn't act. And he looked right at me, and
Speaker 2: I just went you just feel the blood drained from you.
Speaker 2: And I was like I was twenty one or twenty
Speaker 2: two at the time. I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: we got five more weeks of this. Yeah, And so
Speaker 2: then I just stopped taking it as seriously. And I
Speaker 2: think that's when I made like a full, full tilt
Speaker 2: towards stand up because I was like, I guess I'm
Speaker 2: not good at this. And then you know, years later,
Speaker 2: you get a sitcom and there's like, you know it's
Speaker 2: a sitcom, but there's still like dramatic noises you've got
Speaker 2: to and I'll never forget the first pilot, the pilot
Speaker 2: episode I did with Dan Laurio where I leave New
Speaker 2: York City. I'm gonna stop being corporate attorney. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: buy the bar from my parents and this is my
Speaker 2: new occupation and I'll be a lawyer part time at
Speaker 2: the bar. Right and Dan Laurie and I are doing
Speaker 2: the last scene where I'm closing up, and he he
Speaker 2: said something along the lines like do you need help?
Speaker 2: I go no, I got it, dad, And he had
Speaker 2: a like a really sweet line. The pilot ended on
Speaker 2: a nice note, and he went over and pulled the
Speaker 2: Sullivan and sun Neon signed to signify we're closed for
Speaker 2: the night, and he delivered something and I got like
Speaker 2: misty eye, like I got choked up.
Speaker 1: And then I took get right back to that stage.
Speaker 3: And then Dan Laurier started laughing at you.
Speaker 2: But Dan. I went over to Dan. I go, I go, Dan,
Speaker 2: I got you choked me up. There he goes, I
Speaker 2: didn't do it. I think you're you're an actor kid,
Speaker 2: And I was like wow, And that was like that
Speaker 2: was the tailwinds for me to hear from him, to
Speaker 2: hear it from him. And there was one other line
Speaker 2: in there where Jody delivered a line and I didn't
Speaker 2: say anything and I just drew it out and the
Speaker 2: director came over he goes, you can't teach that. I
Speaker 2: was like wow, And it was just the comic.
Speaker 1: Time at Kent State.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I did two more shows a Kent State
Speaker 2: as a comic, so I got I got money back.
Speaker 2: So I remember going over the checks. I was like, well,
Speaker 2: I think I got a semester back is what I got.
Speaker 2: So I got a semester back in my pocket. But
Speaker 2: but that was the time where I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe I could do this.
Speaker 1: That's really cool, pretty wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you guys came and visited our set, and
Speaker 2: Owen Benjamin who is who is not someone who enjoys
Speaker 2: like poop, humor all that stuff. He's got to be
Speaker 2: by himself.
Speaker 3: You, I needed to use a restroom and his his
Speaker 3: dressing rooms and closest shut the door.
Speaker 2: Took ship Owen's in Owen's dressing room, and Owen was.
Speaker 1: Like, oh God, it's disgusting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he literally had the stage manager called the
Speaker 2: janitor clean out. No.
Speaker 1: I really I wasn't a bad one.
Speaker 3: I mean, I would have loved to see the multiverse
Speaker 3: amdness where Steve Byrne stars with Hugh.
Speaker 1: Jackman, like on a Broadway show, Like I would love
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: Because was there a part of you when you were
Speaker 3: doing like when you were doing the theater because you
Speaker 3: said you wanted to act, did you imagine that you'd
Speaker 3: ever be a serious like.
Speaker 2: I really did think? Yeah, I mean that was something
Speaker 2: I was pretty passionate about when I first came here,
Speaker 2: especially well to.
Speaker 3: Go to commit yourself to like college I get your
Speaker 3: degree in it. Ye were your parents supportive of it
Speaker 3: or did you berry? Really your mom even yeah.
Speaker 2: Which is uh straight the norm in the Korean community
Speaker 2: at all, But my mom was very supportive, and I
Speaker 2: think I think it was like the first time I did.
Speaker 2: I mean, they came to all my shows when I
Speaker 2: first started, but the first time I did the Tonight Show,
Speaker 2: that's when it was like, I think for them it
Speaker 2: was like.
Speaker 1: Wow, thank god it worked out.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, but you know it's like wow, they
Speaker 2: I mean, the Tonight Show was such a big thing.
Speaker 2: I mean for kids of our generation of course, So
Speaker 2: your first.
Speaker 1: To Night show because you did it multiple times, right,
Speaker 1: did ten times?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Sometimes that's great so your first time, do you remember
Speaker 3: who the guest was.
Speaker 2: I remember it was Laura Logan. She's a CBS correspondent,
Speaker 2: news correspondent who I guess went off the deep end recently,
Speaker 2: but like a gorgeous like news reporter, but she worked
Speaker 2: for CBS. And then I think it was I think
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 1: James Spader, Yeah, was the lead. And then who's your
Speaker 1: third grade teacher?
Speaker 2: You said it all up there.
Speaker 3: Oh, but that had to be like because for me,
Speaker 3: like I knew graduating college, I'm not going to be
Speaker 3: an accountant, got an accounting degree.
Speaker 1: I was like, there's nothing for me. I'm not doing this.
Speaker 3: I figure out I'm gonna do after it, but I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna get this degree and I'll figure it out.
Speaker 3: So you graduated with a degree that you went to
Speaker 3: chase for a minute, and then you're like, well, this
Speaker 3: isn't going to really necessarily work out for me. Let
Speaker 3: me figure out which because you don't need a theater degree,
Speaker 3: becomes a very a successful stand up.
Speaker 2: Come, you don't need a theater degree at all. Right,
Speaker 2: let's tell you right now, save your money, don't do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see, like, just get to.
Speaker 2: Work, but you wanted to say that.
Speaker 1: I assume I would say that about it, but I would.
Speaker 1: I would.
Speaker 3: I would just say about that, like all that set
Speaker 3: design stuff and all that that all came full till
Speaker 3: for you were looking at your set of your show.
Speaker 3: You had notes there, you were looking at a very
Speaker 3: specific guy. You were enthusiastic about that part of it.
Speaker 3: So you don't need the degree, but the degree fed
Speaker 3: a passion for you.
Speaker 2: Sure. But I also had a great show runner, Rob Long.
Speaker 2: I also had an amazing producer, Vince Spawn and Peter
Speaker 2: Billings lead that oversaw a lot. So like, what do
Speaker 2: you think It's so funny like when you get a
Speaker 2: show too, when like you're constantly auditioning for things and
Speaker 2: never getting a thing, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: just because you wrote a script with a showrunner who
Speaker 2: wrote like ninety percent of the script at the time,
Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden, I'm on the other
Speaker 2: side of the camera, like like here with Rob and
Speaker 2: Peter and we're watching people audition and people leave the
Speaker 2: room They're like, what do you think. I'm like, what
Speaker 2: do I think? Here's what I think. I think if
Speaker 2: I audition for my own show, I won't fucking get it.
Speaker 2: So how am I gonna judge? I have no idea
Speaker 2: if these guys are good or not. I don't know.
Speaker 2: And after like the second year, that's when I would
Speaker 2: watch so many submission tapes and I was like, that's
Speaker 2: when I really kind of started to be able to
Speaker 2: discern the difference between somebody that was like really great
Speaker 2: to or yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean because when I had my degree and I
Speaker 3: graduated again degree, all right, so I hit this now
Speaker 3: it's mayam.
Speaker 2: But you had a limited mouse comedy though, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I always did it on the side. I
Speaker 3: was always on the side, even but not in college.
Speaker 3: In college, I wasn't doing anything college. We took our
Speaker 3: time off, like we performed A ten one still after college,
Speaker 3: like I liked making people laugh.
Speaker 1: But it was never like I was gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is what I'm gonna do in my life.
Speaker 2: You never thought in the back of your head, in
Speaker 2: the deepest recesses, never I'm gonna make a living.
Speaker 3: I still have a desire to perform and be in
Speaker 3: front of the camera, like I love. Yeah, it's always
Speaker 3: like I love. I always knew like I wanted to
Speaker 3: make movies like I have filmmaking.
Speaker 1: I loved movies.
Speaker 2: I love films extroverted as you are. I never on camera.
Speaker 2: You still really you know.
Speaker 1: I never thought of myself as an actor. I never
Speaker 1: thought a traditional actor. I never thought of any of that.
Speaker 3: So when I was when I graduated college, I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: I was living in my mom's basement. I had an
Speaker 3: accounted degree, and I'm like, okay, what am I gonna do.
Speaker 1: With myself here?
Speaker 2: All right? So I'm noises?
Speaker 1: What headphones?
Speaker 3: So, because we had events, so I didn't want my
Speaker 3: mom to hear the points I used to wear headphones
Speaker 3: and true sorry yellow yellow, yeah, because you want to surround.
Speaker 1: So I talked about the time the laundry showed up.
Speaker 3: I told you about that time the laundry just showed up, which.
Speaker 1: Meant my mom was in the room at one point.
Speaker 3: It was in the same basement, and I had the
Speaker 3: cans on facing the corner.
Speaker 1: When my desktop.
Speaker 3: But anyway, so I didn't know what I wanted to do.
Speaker 3: And I was like, and my mom came down. I
Speaker 3: remember this vividly. My mom came down and I was.
Speaker 1: Writing.
Speaker 3: I was writing something and my mom comes down and
Speaker 3: she goes, uh. She goes, so this is what you're
Speaker 3: gonna do what your life. You're gonna sit in my
Speaker 3: basement and write, she said to me. And I was
Speaker 3: writing a short story, like I always love careative writing.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I said no. I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I was like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3: Mom. She goes, well, we got you gotta do. And
Speaker 3: I said okay, and then she said, why don't you
Speaker 3: go figure out how to get a job, as she
Speaker 3: said to me, And I was like, I was looking
Speaker 3: at the classifieds and that didn't work. And I was like,
Speaker 3: I gotta get in front of people for me to
Speaker 3: get a job. I was like, you know, that's what
Speaker 3: I was feeling. So there was a job fare at
Speaker 3: the Marriott Marquee in Midtown Manhattan, and I was like,
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go to the show time.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm just gonna go this job fair.
Speaker 1: Put a suit on.
Speaker 3: I went to this job fair and I walked out
Speaker 3: with a job offer from Eccenture. And I came back
Speaker 3: home and then she goes, she goes, I said, well,
Speaker 3: I got I.
Speaker 1: Got a job.
Speaker 2: She goes, really a real job, real job.
Speaker 3: She said, yeah, I got a job, and I was like,
Speaker 3: and I had graduated in three and a half years
Speaker 3: from college, so I had to go like do my
Speaker 3: my my walk for to get my you know, and
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, don't trip.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I was like, oh, I said.
Speaker 3: They want me to start, and I was like, but
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm not gonna graduate that, I'm not going
Speaker 3: to go walk and she goes, oh, you have to walk.
Speaker 1: I said, well, you just told me get a job.
Speaker 1: Now I have to walk. I was like, they told
Speaker 1: me this is when I started. She's like, well, see
Speaker 1: if you could go.
Speaker 3: So they put me in the next class, which because
Speaker 3: you went to like a three week training for accenture
Speaker 3: and they shipped out to Chicago with this facility they had,
Speaker 3: so I was like, I was leaving the day after
Speaker 3: and I was like, I was like all right, I said,
Speaker 3: all right, so I'll wait and not start my job.
Speaker 3: So then I just lived in their basement for like
Speaker 3: another month, and every time she came downstairs, I was like,
Speaker 3: you wanted me to be making money? Yeah, So yeah,
Speaker 3: it was it was really interesting just to have to like, no,
Speaker 3: I wasn't going to use my degree. And it's kind
Speaker 3: of scary, right, Like I had this degree and I
Speaker 3: was like, but I don't want to do this. I
Speaker 3: just wasted three and a half years of my life
Speaker 3: all this money. It's like, what am I going to
Speaker 3: do with this? And then and just try to figure
Speaker 3: it out, and then comedy just happened. Met Murray on
Speaker 3: the on the ferry and it was like, hey, we're
Speaker 3: doing this. I always thinking about doing improv shows in Manhattan.
Speaker 1: Do you want to do them? Sure? And that's how
Speaker 1: it all started, really just bumping into each other. And
Speaker 1: then he had bump No.
Speaker 3: I was always talking to Mary. Murray met up with Sal.
Speaker 3: He was on the ferry with Sal and Sal and
Speaker 3: another friend of ours, and he was who Who's Mike
Speaker 3: Baccio who was the first Enderloine?
Speaker 1: And he was like hey. He was like, you guys
Speaker 1: want to let's do some standing.
Speaker 3: We came to my mom's same basement and we practiced
Speaker 3: for six months.
Speaker 2: Really, how do you how do you practice improv?
Speaker 3: You just you just keep doing it, You just keep
Speaker 3: doing scenes for no one. We watched, we would videotape it,
Speaker 3: watch it back for.
Speaker 1: Ourselves heatik it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that was a weird step that
Speaker 3: we necessarily didn't need. But in the hindsight, I guess
Speaker 3: it worked because it made us really good improvisers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: And I think it took away a lot of the
Speaker 3: nerves more than anything, because the first time I got
Speaker 3: up on stage, I've been doing it for six months,
Speaker 3: so I think it wasn't like it's the first time
Speaker 3: I get up on sand.
Speaker 1: And then that room we're just filled with family and friends.
Speaker 3: It was fifty people at the Producer's Club right here
Speaker 3: in Midtown Manhattan.

Speaker 2: benefit myself in a positive way? Thanks, moms, love you.
Speaker 2: I have the basic happiness in life, but yet seem
Speaker 2: to fall short of in Okay, gotcha?
Speaker 3: So those people so basic happiness meaning content versus happy, right,
Speaker 3: That's why I interpret that right. People could be confused
Speaker 3: being content with being happy sometimes and he doesn't have
Speaker 3: he doesn't feel joy.
Speaker 1: He's looking to feel joy.
Speaker 2: Just not motivated to do anything anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that there's no joy there, no joy for life? Right? Right?

Speaker 1: sounds like he fell almost pick that boy up. Yes,
Speaker 1: what I would say is you need.
Speaker 3: To find little things that give you real happiness, not
Speaker 3: superficial happiness.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So for me, like making people laugh and spending time
Speaker 3: with quality people that brings me your joy in a
Speaker 3: real way. You know, superficial happiness is like you know,
Speaker 3: a cookie or you know, watching a movie or something
Speaker 3: like that that just makes you feel okay on the outside.
Speaker 1: But send us Yeah, exactly what I meant. H So
Speaker 1: you get me, Steve. What I think, what I think
Speaker 1: is important.
Speaker 3: Is like, do you have to get something to feed
Speaker 3: your soul? Feat your soul? That's what you're talking about,
Speaker 3: Like what makes you? What makes you truly happy? What
Speaker 3: makes you truly happy?
Speaker 1: Steve?
Speaker 2: So spending time with me, well, I love doing stand up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't make other people happy.
Speaker 1: I didn't ask you what makes other people miserable?
Speaker 2: Did last night at the charity. I'm fortunate enough to
Speaker 2: have an occupation that I truly do love. Like I
Speaker 2: loved my job. My family absolutely right, the kids, time
Speaker 2: with them, that makes me happy. I love nothing more nothing,
Speaker 2: And I say this all the time when I'm home.
Speaker 2: If we have a pizza, if we order Chinese whatever.
Speaker 2: We'll sit in the TV room, we'll eat. I'll have
Speaker 2: like a Reese's wafers waiting for me afterwards. Like I
Speaker 2: have my foods at my family's there and we're about
Speaker 2: to start a movie, and I just go, this is
Speaker 2: the best the moment, this is the best. And I
Speaker 2: say it all the time, but I think it's like
Speaker 2: these little things, Like the other night I finished my
Speaker 2: shirt at West Nayak, I pulled my the sheets over me.
Speaker 2: I got a movie ready to play and watching a documentary,
Speaker 2: is watching a doc and I'm taking a bite of
Speaker 2: this pizza and I'm just looking at myself. I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is the best. Like I love like little moment,
Speaker 2: Like I absolutely save with this moment. I'm just like
Speaker 2: not doing a goddamn thing, and I'm just churning off.
Speaker 2: I'm watching something and I'm eating something fantastic, and I'm
Speaker 2: either with my family or friends at a movie theater
Speaker 2: or whatever, and I constantly say to myself, this is
Speaker 2: the best. Yeah, all the time, that's great. Yeah I
Speaker 2: haven't said it once in studio today, But that's not true.
Speaker 3: You enjoy this job, it's job, you love it. You
Speaker 3: come all here all the way from Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 2: Just a cera time help people.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say this, Like for our friend here
Speaker 3: to three Ski also known as Jay, Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: because what we're giving him is he's like, well, he's like,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to pop a kid out right now.
Speaker 1: Maybe I hate my job. What could I do right now?
Speaker 3: And what I think the big part of it is
Speaker 3: like identify what gives you joy? Is half the battle,
Speaker 3: like and what like take stock and when you're smiling,
Speaker 3: take stock in those moments. Is it spending time with
Speaker 3: a friend, Is it one friend that gives you a
Speaker 3: lot of joy? What's happening in that moment? I think
Speaker 3: it is identifying the moments that make you happy. Fill
Speaker 3: your life with more of those moments, and you're going
Speaker 3: to get yourself. You're going to fill up the tank
Speaker 3: of happiness. And I think that's really important because it's
Speaker 3: only going to get depleted when you're unhappy, so you need.
Speaker 2: To I think there's something to be said too for
Speaker 2: forcing yourself to like it's so easy, especially like comics
Speaker 2: laziest laziest people in the world were just like it's
Speaker 2: so easy, just sit in the hotel room all day
Speaker 2: and do nothing right. And I'm like, you know, I'm
Speaker 2: going to force myself to go out. Yeah, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2: And I was talking to Jiggy about this. I went
Speaker 2: to Nayak and I was like, I'm gonna get out
Speaker 2: of my room and walk around downtown Nyack and I went.
Speaker 2: I found a great bookstore. I found this great pizza shop.
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm so glad I left the house.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad I left the apartment, got out or
Speaker 2: the hotel. Yeah. But even when I like I'm home
Speaker 2: in Nashville, there's been days where I'm like I don't
Speaker 2: have anything to do, and I know if I just
Speaker 2: sit on the couch all day, I'll just do it.
Speaker 2: So this is showing my age, okay. But I looked
Speaker 2: up like antique stores. Ah nice, and I found this
Speaker 2: massive one that was like rated five stars and it
Speaker 2: was like a huge like warehouse. I was like, all right,
Speaker 2: let me get the car and just do this, and
Speaker 2: I went and I had an absolute blast. I was
Speaker 2: there for two and a half hours.
Speaker 1: How much did you buy?
Speaker 2: I spent three hundred All of course, Jess was like,
Speaker 2: what the thought would you? Oh?
Speaker 3: You bought other people's garbage, and I own I take,
Speaker 3: so that'd be the name of it, other people's garbage.
Speaker 1: That's one hundred percent. I think I would love the
Speaker 1: name because I call it what it is.
Speaker 3: Main street Candles and bullshit. That's the name of my store.
Speaker 3: Every every main street in America has a store Candles
Speaker 3: and bullshit. It's got candles, stupid fucking bullshit. It's got
Speaker 3: your dumb coosters that say I Heart me. It's got
Speaker 3: your stupid fucking towels. It's got your wine tasting flights.
Speaker 3: It's got little figurines made out of silver and it
Speaker 3: looks like a puppy. It's bullshit, candles and bullshit. I
Speaker 3: go in there, drop.
Speaker 2: Three hunt though you you you love it.
Speaker 1: I love a candles. I love the main street.
Speaker 3: I love it because I've been going to all these
Speaker 3: little little I j walk main streets bing bongo, bing bongo.
Speaker 1: I go in all of them.
Speaker 2: You support, I think more than anything. You like to
Speaker 2: supports venue store or the employee. Because one of the
Speaker 2: thing you always say to individuals, do you get commissioned?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You always ask.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'll be your time at norm and I'll
Speaker 3: buy more or I won't force myself. That will teeter
Speaker 3: me if I'm gonna buy these jeans or not. If
Speaker 3: I like them, they're okay, all right, do you do
Speaker 3: you work on commission?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, you were great. I'm gonna buy them. You don't,
Speaker 1: that's okay.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get them right because it doesn't
Speaker 3: really take anyone. I don't want to take money out
Speaker 3: of people's pockets at the time they did.
Speaker 2: So to Jay, I would say, maybe force yourself to
Speaker 2: get up and just like even take a walk for sure, get.
Speaker 1: Out of the house. Happened doesn't happen by yourself in
Speaker 1: a hotel room.
Speaker 2: The best ideas I've come up with have been when
Speaker 2: I've been walked taking walks, and it's only the last
Speaker 2: like ten years I realize I'm like, go take a walk,
Speaker 2: figure it out. And that's when I just for some
Speaker 2: reason that's I don't know, it's the activity that I
Speaker 2: just work. I get all my work done. When I
Speaker 2: get a walk in, I'm like, okay, I got to
Speaker 2: do this. I gotta do that. So if you're not motivated,
Speaker 2: I think, force yourself to do something where you can
Speaker 2: at least give yourself, the thought of what you'd like
Speaker 2: to accomplish. Maybe get a dog, care for something, get
Speaker 2: a dog there, you go.
Speaker 1: Get a dog. Dogs change your perspective on everything. Just
Speaker 1: moment take away loneliness.
Speaker 3: They give you love you feel like it. Or go
Speaker 3: if you don't want to the responsibility of a dog.
Speaker 3: Go like, spend a day volunteering at the local shelter,
Speaker 3: be around dogs. It's crazy. Like, we just went to
Speaker 3: a shelter yesterday in Huntington and around all these these pubbies.
Speaker 3: They found astray that we wanted to help get it,
Speaker 3: find a home for him, these cute little puppers and
Speaker 3: Broccoli Rob we named him. And so like we got
Speaker 3: this dog and we were just spending time there and
Speaker 3: I met this gentleman who works there and he's he's
Speaker 3: he's it's a municipality. He's a straight up dog catcher, right,
Speaker 3: that's what he does. And he just loves animals. And
Speaker 3: we were talking about it, and I was like, it's
Speaker 3: got to be hard for you. He's like, yeah, he's like,
Speaker 3: but we you know, he's like, I work extra hard
Speaker 3: to find these dogs homes and stuff.
Speaker 1: He's like, because I just really do. He's like, I
Speaker 1: love what I do.
Speaker 3: I love being around dogs, and I just thought about
Speaker 3: that and it just is like infectious if you're around
Speaker 3: dogs and stuff.
Speaker 1: So I would say it doesn't even necessarily have to
Speaker 1: be dogs.
Speaker 3: But like if you go volunteer at a place or
Speaker 3: something you're passionate about, that's going to give you purpose
Speaker 3: fill you with some joy too.
