But for me, what was so exciting about 376 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 2: it was when they would do the theme weeks of 377 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 2: motown and sixties music and seventies music and eighties music, 378 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 2: and I suddenly had like a vocabulary for all this 379 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: music history, to the point where I then went into 380 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,439 Speaker 2: school and my art teacher was like, today, we're going 381 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: to listen to Aretha Franklin, and I knew all the songs. 382 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 2: And that's when I realized just how much music was 383 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: out there and how much I loved every genre. And 384 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: I think it really got me very interested, because I'm 385 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 2: the kind of person where when I love something, I 386 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: have to know everything about it. So for that, I 387 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 2: would say that was really the And then honestly, like 388 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 2: a lot of people that ask like what's your comedic 389 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 2: influence and sensibility, I can answer that question. But there's 390 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: nothing funnier to me than the way some of these 391 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: people sing. 392 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 4: People on American Idol like uh. 393 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: Okay, so in an American Idol performance, like it would 394 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: usually end with like a sustained belt and that is 395 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: so funny, or like it was the style it was, yeah, 396 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 2: and the Mariah Selene Whitney style of singing like I 397 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 2: or just like the existence of pop stars in spaces 398 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 2: I think is so funny.

And I'm like, 897 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 7: I'm the the essence of us is is basically the same, 898 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 7: you know. 899 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,840 Speaker 2: I mean that's like ten years ago. That was like 900 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 2: even before the podcast started, because we started that when 901 00:46:58,680 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 2: we were twenty six. 902 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:00,720 Speaker 1: And I think that. 903 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,160 Speaker 2: I also, I never used to think of myself as 904 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,760 Speaker 2: a comedian because I didn't do stand up, like I remember. 905 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 2: I think that was something that we shared too. Both 906 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 2: of us were like really unsure about where we fit 907 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 2: in in the comedy thing because you did improv and like, 908 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 2: you know, people have had a future doing improv. But 909 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 2: it's other things, right, I mean, what's the thing. I 910 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 2: guess acting I did sketch like and I was trying 911 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:25,359 Speaker 2: to do stand up. 912 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 1: It wasn't really clicking. I didn't know who I was. 913 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:31,000 Speaker 2: And I think that that's because we were so other 914 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,799 Speaker 2: Like in our comedy community, It's like there was no 915 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 2: one who had a career that I could look up to, 916 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 2: like they're like me, and they're doing it and like 917 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:39,919 Speaker 2: the way I want to do it or can see 918 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,760 Speaker 2: myself doing it. So it kind of afforded this nice 919 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 2: choose your own adventure of like our our entire comedy 920 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 2: careers to the point where like when we started lost culturist. 921 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 2: Thus I think that's why it worked, is because we 922 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 2: weren't trying to be anything but ourselves, because we didn't 923 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 2: see ourselves like working, you know what I mean, Like 924 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 2: it didn't really with who like where who? What was 925 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 2: the bluepoint to follow? Bluepoint blueprint? Blueprint. I was just 926 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 2: on THENG Island drinking beers. 927 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 5: Today. 928 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 2: Yesterday I had a pumpkin beer favorite. 929 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 1: I had three actually, But I think that that that 930 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:24,480 Speaker 1: like sort. 931 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,279 Speaker 2: Of wilderness of the entertainment industry and comedy in us, 932 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,719 Speaker 2: not literally not fitting in. It just allowed us to 933 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 2: be ourselves. And so maybe that's something yeah, encouraging yourself 934 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 2: to go back in time and be like be yourself. 935 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: It's it, it will work. 936 00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 7: But and this is not me just like jerking us off. 937 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:45,240 Speaker 7: But I think on that note, like I think we did. 938 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 5: We. 939 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,400 Speaker 7: I think we like became this nice mental model for 940 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,839 Speaker 7: other comedians that we were friends with to be like 941 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,759 Speaker 7: you can. You can also this is a viable pathway 942 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 7: for comedy or like it's waited for you to at 943 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 7: least make some money off of doing common where a 944 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,359 Speaker 7: lot of those opportunities are scant. It's like they're like 945 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 7: like I think, like look, look just get two people 946 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 7: who are funny like on stage to like sit down 947 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 7: in front of a microphone and then have like conversations 948 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 7: where you listen and you feel like like like listening 949 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,280 Speaker 7: to Pat and Kat and George and Sam and like everybody, 950 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,800 Speaker 7: I'm just like, oh, I feel like I'm in the 951 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 7: room with them, and like, yeah, that's I think that 952 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:20,879 Speaker 7: was a nice I think I'm not saying we set 953 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 7: the trend.
