I don't think you wanted to. 84 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: That's okay, that's part of the process. I'm working on that. 85 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: That's more on me. I need to make those jokes funnier, 86 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: I think. But remember it's the first time I'm working 87 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: them out. But that's neither here nor there. That is 88 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: not why we are here today. Today we're here to 89 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: discuss the Levetti Vegas Part two episode, the Lost Episode 90 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: as it's been now called the Lost Episode. Actually, we're 91 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: not even gonna get into it yet because I want 92 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: to talk about hosting. We just had the Academy Awards. 93 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: Last last episode, Grant Pearson Part two. We broke down 94 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: the Academy Awards, the Oscars. It was fantastic. What a 95 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: great show. One of the best productions by the Academy 96 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: in a long time. And Jimmy Kimmel hosted. I felt 97 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: like he did a great job. He was entertaining, he 98 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: was straight to the point, he kept the show moving. 99 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: He had great bits throughout, some memorable moments. Okay, we 100 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: had Ryan Gosling performing with I don't know, it felt 101 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: like a hundred people performing. I'm just ken. What a moment. 102 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: John Cena reminiscent of the famed streaker incident from years ago. 103 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: He came out and presented an award naked John Cena 104 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: of all people, but you know, it was Jimmy Kimmel's bits. 105 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: It was Jimmy Kimmel's the way he commands the room 106 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: that I took the the most from and something that 107 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: really it made me think, like it's tough to host 108 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: that room right like. In fact, just you know, a 109 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: couple of months ago, during the Golden Globe Joe Coy, 110 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: he was the host. It didn't go so well, the 111 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: laughs didn't hit. After the show, he blamed it on 112 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: the audience a bit, which is a comic. You don't 113 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: blame the audience. It's on you right here. In fact, 114 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: just a couple of months ago, I talked to stand 115 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: up comedian Zach Peterson about this very thing, and here's 116 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: what he had to say to your point that the 117 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: audience decides. Joe Coy, you know, hosted the Golden Globes 118 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: and has been blaming the audience that his monologue jokes 119 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: didn't hit And I've found that very interesting because I've 120 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: never really heard somebody, I guess of his stature come 121 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: out and be like the audience just wasn't it tonight? Right? Right? Right? 122 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: And who knows, man Like, I've never hosted any Golden 123 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: Globes or anything like that. Who knows what that's like. 124 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: So that's you're right, I mean, you just you don't know. 125 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: So it got me thinking it's probably one of the 126 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: harder things to do because you have to entertain the 127 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: millions watching at home who have nothing to do with 128 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: the awards. But at the same time, you have to 129 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: entertain the people that are in the room watching you 130 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: that you are actually the one talking about. And there's 131 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: really not another dynamic quite like it. I mean, can 132 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: you imagine, you know, at your workplace, the boss is, 133 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, hosting a staff meeting, and he starts cracking 134 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: jokes as bosses do, except they're more like they're Mike 135 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: Roast than they heart jokes. I mean, he's there to 136 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: like kind of lighten the mood, but he's doing it 137 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: in a way that he's attacking it. I mean, can 138 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: you imagine if that was the same case. I mean, 139 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: it's exactly like an award show. If the boss looks, 140 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, he's in front of his staff and he's like, ah, 141 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 1: good to see JT's here. You know. JT reminds me 142 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: a lot of John Cena when he's at work you 143 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: can't see him, you know. I mean, that's that's what 144 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: it would feel like. It would suck. So I understand 145 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: when Jimmy Kimmell makes a joke about Emma Stone and 146 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: she's like, she turns to her guests and it's like, 147 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: what a jerk. You know, she probably doesn't think he's 148 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: a jerk. I mean, she's probably friendly with Jimmy Kimble, 149 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: at least it appears so. But you know, you're sitting 150 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: in a room. It's a big night for you for 151 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: your career. You're being you know, recognized for the hard 152 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: work you did. It's one of the best in your business. 153 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: And you know he's taking shots because he's trying to 154 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: entertain the millions watching at home, not necessarily the room 155 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: in front of him. But he's got to try to 156 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: do that too. So it's a tough gig. So I 157 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: guess I understand kind of now A little bit after 158 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: seeing Joe Cooy and then after seeing Jimmy Kimble and 159 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: kind of thinking about it, kind of understanding where Joe 160 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: Cooy is coming from. But I think he needs to 161 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: play it more like Jimmy kimmelll and just not care 162 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: really what the room says. You know, who cares. You're 163 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: entertaining the millions watching at home, and that's really why 164 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: you're hosting in the first place. But great show. If 165 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: you did listen to last week's episode Grant Peerson Part 166 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: two and heard our Oscars breakdown, you know, Grant was 167 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: right on a lot of categories. In fact, in our 168 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: yearly pool that we do where we kind of pick 169 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: the winners and predict, and Grant and I finished second 170 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: place in our group picking. His wife Kathy actually won 171 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: this year and had the most picks. She had eighteen 172 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: of what the twenty three category she had eighteen correct, 173 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: which is that's pretty impressive. I'll get it next year. 174 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: I think if I watched all the movies like Grant did, 175 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: or at least eight out of the ten Best Picture nominees, 176 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: that maybe I'd have a shot at when this thing. 177 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give it a go. You know what 178 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: I'd like to. I think I'd like to throw my 179 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: hat in and host an award show of some type someday. 180 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: And obviously I'm not in any position to be hosting 181 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: the Academy Awards or the Golden Globes. I mean, no 182 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: one knows who I am. But you know, i'd like to. 183 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: I'd like to host an award show of some type. 184 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: I think I could write some write some quips. You know, 185 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: I'd be fun. I certainly wouldn't care what the people 186 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: thought of me after. I would definitely be able to 187 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: entertain the masses with it and move on from it. 188 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: But it would be fun. I'm telling you that right now. 189 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: It'd be a good time. But until then, I'm just 190 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna have to continue to write my quips about my coworkers. 191 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: All right, Well, now it's onto our special guest, Levetti Vegas. 192 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: Is the second time he's been on the show. Let 193 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: me give you the background on this. Okay, this has 194 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: been a long time coming. We tried to schedule this. 195 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: We try to schedule this episode and get it recorded, 196 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: probably over a month before we actually recorded at the 197 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: beginning of March, and we you know, scheduled conflicts both sides. 198 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: Things would come up, we'd have a date and time 199 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: set and then you know, he wanted to go hit 200 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: an open mic. Cool, you know, I get it, and 201 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: I you know, with working super early in the morning, 202 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: you know, four am comes pretty quick, so it's like, well, 203 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: I don't really want to stay up until after he's 204 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: done at the open mic, because you knows how long 205 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: that's gonna take. So we were just trying to find 206 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: you know, happy medium on when we can actually record, 207 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: which is fine. We make it work, and we finally 208 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: get our date and time right, We're ready to go. 209 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: Then something else came up, like literally within a half 210 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: hour when we were going to record, but like moments 211 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: before that time. Uh, he sent me a message and 212 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: it's like, all right, he's at Homie Week. We can 213 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: do this. I'm like, perfect, let's go, Like we're gonna 214 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: get this thing knocked out. So I got set up, 215 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: I got ready to record. I call him and we 216 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: are good to go. And I'll tell you what. It 217 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: was a fun conversation we had. We had a great time. 218 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: We talked about comedy, we talked about the Omaha comedy scene, 219 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: we talked about Lincoln comedy scene, the Des Moines comedy scene. 220 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: We just talked about marketing as a as a stand 221 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: up comic. We talked about comedy in general. We talked 222 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: about you know, sketches and different shows that maybe he's 223 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: thinking about and he's going to be creating, which which 224 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: is awesome. I'm proud of him. And it was probably 225 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: a two hour conversation that we had that would have 226 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: been a fun and at times explosive podcast. And the 227 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: reason why it would have been explosive, I'll tell you 228 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: wise what any any of you that follow Leavetti on 229 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: his socials, particularly on Facebook, you know that at times 230 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: he brings the heat. You know, if there's something that's 231 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: on his mind, it to the public, and he's not 232 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: afraid to put it out there, especially if there's a conflict, 233 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: and I admire that about him. If there's something that 234 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: he is bothering him, he puts it out there, especially 235 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: if the other side won't, you know, won't discuss. I 236 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: think some things obviously should be left private, That's that's obvious, right, 237 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: But in this case, it's something that was you know, 238 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: there are things that are already out in the public, 239 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: things that are already of public in public space of 240 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: public opinion. He puts it out there and it's just like, hey, 241 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: call me, you know, let's talk. Let's send this be 242 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: for argument or conflict or disagreement that we're having, and 243 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: he gets it settled, and that's that's awesome. I admire him. 244 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: There are those types of conflicts that he's had with 245 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: folks that he that we talked about, and he brought 246 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: it up and after recording the next morning, he's like, man, 247 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, we can't put this episode out there. 248 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: And we had a little back and forth, and I 249 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: totally understand where he's coming from. The issue at hand 250 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: was would this bring up old emotions from people that 251 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: it's not worth it? And I understand that, and which 252 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: is why on Wednesday we did not have a new episode. 253 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: It was to me being considered the lost episode. I 254 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: I really had to think about it. I'm like, well, 255 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: we you know, we record this podcast. He knows we're 256 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: recording this podcast. He knows what we have, and you know, 257 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're just trying to entertain. 258 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: Can I edit it or censor it, or you know, 259 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: take some names out or do something that would then 260 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: still make it a presentable and entertaining product. I really 261 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: gave it some thought, especially after you know, I we 262 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: got to the release date and you may have seen 263 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: on my Socials. On my show Socials, we put out 264 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: the sorry, something's wrong, you know, pieces because there was 265 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: something wrong. We were missing an episode and nothing is 266 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: out there, although I still anticipating put it. Putting an 267 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: episode out this week, that's what we do. We put 268 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: an episode every single week, and we're gaining momentum, right 269 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: The show is gaining momentum, and I appreciate everybody who's listening. 270 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: We're hitting record highs with each new episode, and I 271 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: firmly believed that the next Levetty Vegas episode was going 272 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: to continue that trend. And I know for a fact 273 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: that what we did record would have done just that. 274 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: But with that being said, I totally respect Levetti's feelings 275 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: on it, So it was all right, let's not do it. 276 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: Let's not put that out into the world. Right Then 277 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: I get to Friday and I'm like, we're here to entertain. 278 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: The whole point of laugh with Me is to entertain. 279 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: Sometimes we're telling stories. A lot of the stories we 280 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: tell are in the past, are of the nature in 281 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: our past experiences. That's what's entertaining. People love hearing stories. 282 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it's a lot of like when we're 283 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: sitting you know, when I have my friends on or 284 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: we're sitting here talking about various things that we've done 285 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: or experiences we've had. It's like we're hanging out, you know, 286 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: having beers. Generally we're sitting here recording, we are having 287 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: a beer, and we're laughing and telling stories for people 288 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: to listen to and hopefully you find it entertaining to me. 289 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: That's what our conversation was with with Levetti and I. 290 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: We were reminiscing, we were talking about various things that 291 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: had happened and stories that people would be able to 292 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: relate to. And I think that there is a lot 293 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: of people that could relate to the situations that he 294 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: found himself in, whether by his doing or by other 295 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: people's doing, and you know, can learn from it and 296 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: can I don't know, at the same time, be entertained 297 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: because it was it was an entertaining conversation. Explosive conversation, Yeah, yes, 298 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: it was, but entertaining nonetheless, which is what we do 299 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: here at laugh with me.

So how did I come 329 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: up with ghost You're as white as a cloud? Just 330 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: saying clear skin sometimes not always, though not always Jeremy 331 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: has stress. Yeah, And when Jeremy's promoting the Mighty Patch, 332 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: he talks in the third person. With the little patch 333 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: on it takes care of it overnight. It's a beautiful product. 334 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: You can find it pretty much anywhere you can find skincare, 335 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: and it's you gotta believe the height. The Mighty Patch 336 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: not only one of my favorite items that has come 337 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: into my life in the last few months, it's also 338 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: proud sponsor of Laugh With me the podcast. Now back 339 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: to the show. So that's where I had to decide, 340 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: you know, what are we doing with this two hours 341 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: of explosive and incredible conversation with my friend Levetty Vegas. 342 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: Now you may have known him as Vetty Wayne Wright 343 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: at one point, because there was like a month a 344 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: two months stretch he changed his name. We talked about 345 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: it in the episode. That's the thing. I wanted him 346 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 1: to have a platform to be able to talk about 347 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: this name change because he was switched back. He was 348 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: Vetty Vegas, then he was Wayne right, and then he's 349 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: back to Vegas. We had a whole discussion on it. 350 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: It was great, it was thoughtful. And for those of 351 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: you that didn't know why he's flip flopping, you know, 352 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: one way to the other about his name, we were 353 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: gonna explain all that in the episode, and we did. 354 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: We sure did so. I felt like I owed it 355 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: to him, I owed it to the people to put 356 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: this episode out so that you understood the name change. Right. 357 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: He's had these beefs ongoing as well online that a 358 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: lot of them have been resolved since we recorded, so 359 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: it wouldn't have even been an ongoing heated thing. But 360 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: he brought it up something so you'd have a little 361 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: more background on so you knew what was going on. 362 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: There's another comic in the area, read Little. We talked 363 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: about it so that way you all would understand the 364 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: background behind what was going on. Why there It wasn't 365 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: a beef. It was just a misunderstanding and a disagreement. 366 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: We talked about it. I felt like we owed it 367 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: to the people. I owed it to the people to 368 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: put this conversation out so that you understood what was 369 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: being seen and what was being heard out at the 370 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: mics and on Lovetti's Facebook page, which really that's where 371 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,239 Speaker 1: it all started. I will I. I brought it up. 372 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm like your Facebook page sometimes, you know, you're you 373 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: bring things up. You just you come at folks with 374 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: some stuff and we talk about it. We talk about 375 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: that kind of cleared up. It made a lot of 376 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: sense to me after. It was a great conversation. Explosive conversation, 377 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: but it was a great conversation nonetheless. Either way, Lovetti Vegas. 378 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: There's like those people in in entertainment that you know 379 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: that like they're very polarizing. You've got it's like it's 380 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: like there's a line right down the middle. You know, 381 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: you have villains and you have heroes, but there's those 382 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: polarizing figures that there's a line right down the middle, 383 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: and half the people love them, half the people hate him. 384 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: There really isn't in between it too. You love him 385 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: or you hate him, And sometimes it feels like Levetti 386 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: is one of those polarizing people, which is so fascinating 387 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: and so interesting. And that's, you know, part of why 388 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: I love having him on the show, because it's you 389 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: get kind of a deeper look and to sign his 390 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: brain and and just kind of see how he operates. 391 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 1: And and then once you do, once you talk to him, 392 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I just don't understand. I don't understand 393 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: why you're so polarizing. I mean, you're you're you're a motivated, 394 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: driven person, entertaining person, creative person, talented person, and maybe 395 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: people just don't understand the the drive or the focus 396 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: behind it. But in this episode, we talk about it, 397 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: we break it down. Isn't explosive, f times absolutely entertaining, 398 00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: though very entertaining. So with that that being said, ladies 399 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, my special guest this week is Lovetty Vegas 400 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: Man I'm glad to be baking on the second time. 401 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: Thanks for doing the show.
