16
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: I almost got in a fight last night playing pool.

17
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: And you'd think that's like kind of a nerdy sport

18
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: like darts or something. It's just a pretty mild manner.

19
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: But quite often when I do well, and I was

20
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 3: doing well last night, these guys were threatened by it.

21
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: They started when it was down to the eight ball.

22
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: They were yelling advice as to what I should do.

23
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: The guys that were playing next, and they wanted to

24
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: play their friend who I was beating, and they were

25
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: screaming like they're at a dog fight and I got

26
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: ups and then they wanted to fight me, and the

27
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: security guard came to help me, and I'm like, no,

28
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: I can handle this, but they.

29
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: Were very serious fighting the security guard.

30
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

31
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 5: Yeah.

32
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 3: And there's also these guys were from El Salvador and

33
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: they don't I couldn't.

34
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: But one of them, I know. He accidentally snorted meth

35
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 2: one night and I was talking him through it. He

36
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: was scared. And one of the guys is nice, but

37
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: his friend visiting him.

38
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Chris, where did this take place, because you're

39
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: acting like it's the pool takes place in a library.

40
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: Or something, right, It is a university center.

41
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 3: These guys were fifteen years No, it's at Little Joy,

42
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: which has has a history of having Little Joy this bar.

43
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: It's like an old bar, but it's nicer now and

44
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: it's down the street from me, and I have visions

45
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: now of being good at pool. I don't know why

46
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 3: I'm so into these things, but I've gotten better at it.

47
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: And they'd almost got me killed.

48
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: I ran home. I didn't even pay my tab, And yes,

49
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: I had some drinks. If that's what you were thinking.

50
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: I was sure it wasn't. It wasn't even a question.

51
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: In my mind, that's usually part of it.

52
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: Well, not too much. I want to win at Pool

53
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:17,880

00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: have fun in whatever way? We play cards, we play tag,

161
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: we go do a thing, stand around and make jokes,

162
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: don't take anything seriously, but certainly not like talk about

163
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: real things or ever be normal in any way. And

164
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: that to have moved to La and found that group

165
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: of people where each person was more like that than

166
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: the next. And then there was Todd Glass who was

167
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: kind of the king of it. But you weren't always there,

168
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: so you were kind of like a special guest star

169
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: in my mind because I didn't know you that well,

170
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: and it would be like that downstairs roommate guy. And

171
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: then when you'd be there, it's like, who is this guy?

172
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 5: So you know, you can never you can.

173
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 4: I never get tired of hearing about something you had

174
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 4: no perception of, like this conversation might have never happened.

175
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: I was always nervous, I thought in my head around

176
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: like people that were doing creat Like I thought you

177
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 4: were one of those people doing creative things that I

178
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 4: wanted to do. And then stand ups in my memory

179
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 4: were merging with this like and it was a good

180
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 4: thing and you either made fun of it or you

181
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 4: were a part of it.

182
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 5: I helped you. I thought it really helped me grow.

183
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: But like there were all these different comedians there of

184
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 4: all types. It was fucking crazy, great parties. It was

185
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 4: awesome people, yes, a.

186
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: Really good mix, and also kind of that really was

187
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: it was the right at the beginning of alternative comedy,

188
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: but most people had started as club comics, and so

189
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: there was this kind of like kind of fake sharks

190
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: versus jets, like what side are you on? But the

191
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: truth of it was when everyone got into the same

192
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: bar and had a couple of beers, everyone was on

193
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: everybody's side, and it was just who's funny?

194
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 5: It was?

195
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: That was like the really the bottom line. So then

196
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: it was kind of figuring out of like cause like

197
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: you were being on the road. I was just like

198
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: I basically just started to middle when I left San Francisco,

199
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: So it was just like, oh, that's being on the

200
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: road is the real thing, And I'm not doing the

201
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: real thing. He's the real thing.

202
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 4: You know.

203
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: It's that knowing all the time, like tell us where

204
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: you just were.

205
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 5: Oh god, that was Yeah, those colleges were like they did.

206
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 4: They helped me get out of like you know, I

207
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 4: wasn't great with money, and I didn't expect them to

208
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: come along, and I didn't take advantage of the opportunity

209
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 4: to be able to you know, and just and again,

210
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 4: most people complain about him, but even back then, I

211
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 4: would get to whatever venue it was because it wasn't

212
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 4: always in a proper you know the deal. It could

213
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 4: be in a proper theater, whether it's two hundred and five,

214
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: but it could be in But I made it work.

215
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 5: I made it work.

216
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: But that you did, Yeah, you have to.

217
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 4: Get there three hours early because like if you wanted

218
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 4: to tell him to turn the overhead lights off, you

219
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 4: learn after while it's never a switch, it's like, oh,

220
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: our custodian has to be here. Yes, So I would

221
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 4: start getting there early and turning some shows that I

222
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 4: knew would have been a disaster into like really fucking

223
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: cool shows.

224
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: You know, and not all of them.

225
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: Did you do those NAKA conferences where and yes, it's

226
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: insane that they I think about it now. I used

227
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: to pay to be eligible to then write submit a tape.

228
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: I never was.

229
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: Actually at these things, but I was now popular in

230
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 3: the college culture, I guess. But after you perform, you

231
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 3: go on stage like auction, and the schools will be like, yeah,

232
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: we'll take that one.

233
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: Who's gonna pick you?

234
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 4: You know what? You left out an element of it,

235
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: and it's so funny because it doesn't seem as bad

236
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 4: as it sounds like.

237
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 5: I also did have fun at that.

238
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: But the one element for people listening that might not know,

239
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 4: it's like, you know, colleges all go to these things.

240
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 5: And there's regional ones that you're there performing.

241
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 4: There's one room that has stand up I'm not telling

242
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 4: you guys, I'm just strolling in the audience, and there's

243
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 4: bands there. There's all types of people that college students

244
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 4: get to come. The better schools have bigger budgets, you know,

245
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: and they try to group you together. So if three

246
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 4: schools bring you in, the money can come substantially down.

247
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 4: So the one other thing Chris was remember then there

248
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: were booths afterwards, and you would go to your college

249
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 4: booth and people would come over and you'd be like, hey,

250
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 4: how you doing. It's like so seems so horrible.

251
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: It's like almost like the reverse of being a door

252
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: to door salesman, where it's like do you have to perform,

253
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: you have to shake hands, you have to be nice

254
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: to the student activities commissioner or whoever these people were,

255
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: you have to wear that sash?

256
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: Do you know?

257
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 5: I got in trouble and I'm not a trouble maker.

258
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,599
Speaker 5: I like to be like, so I'm not. I just

259
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 5: think it's funny. One. I had no idea.

260
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: I made an announcement that I would be performing at

261
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: the place where everyone was eating lunch right on the

262
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 4: PA just happened to be on. So I'm like, attention,

263
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 4: don't ever do that again.

264
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: And the other thing.

265
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 4: The other thing was like, my mam, did you get

266
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: in trouble? Yeah, they said you can't do that. It's

267
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: it's unadvantad it's an unffair advantage. Oh my god, to

268
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: touch base with people.

269
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 3: You mean to be funny outside of that was a

270
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: funny bit, and then you're getting it's an unfair advantage.

271
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 3: Did the other comics They didn't think of the I'll

272
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: be doing stand up at lunch bit so, yeah.

273
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 5: Isn't that funny?

274
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: And I just got nervous because I didn't want to

275
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 4: and the and the other thing was in hindsight, you know,

276
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: I was in the closet then, so I mean I

277
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: knew that. But I met these three girls and we

278
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 4: just got along like we they were really cool. I

279
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 4: got snowed into their city. We hung out, and then

280
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: they the hotel on campus didn't have any rooms, like

281
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 4: for an extra three nights. I got an extra night,

282
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 4: so I stayed at their house, you know. And I

283
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 4: got in so much trouble for that because and then

284
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 4: I sort of got it. Yeah, I got it because

285
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 4: you can't sleep with you know. I know there was

286
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 4: no ill intentions, but from their perspective, which, by the way,

287
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 4: then I love that.

288
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 5: I was like, oh good that. I hope the word

289
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 5: gets out about that.

290
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, all that you start gossiping about yourself.

291
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I'm trying to spread it myself. I guess

292
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 4: you heard about me with the three girls.

293
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: Oh I hate it, all of them at once, so exaugerating.

294
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: I'm not like an orgy guy.

295
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 5: It's usually two yeah.

296
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, but the kids that pick you. That was

297
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: kind of the cool part, because I of course hated

298
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: I did colleges. I really hated it because I was

299
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: just kind of by myself and I didn't have an

300
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: hour of course. I was just kind of faking it

301
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: so and it was like, oh, that's when I found

302
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: out I don't have an act actually, because all my

303
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: shit was very la or like hipster references, and when

304
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: you're sitting there with a bunch of eighteen year olds

305
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: who don't give a shit about you, it all like

306
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: it made I was just like, oh, I'm an absolute

307
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: fraud and like writing furiously in my hotel room beforehand

308
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. But the people that picked you when, like

309
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: I found when I got to the school, they were

310
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: so happy to see you. It's so nice and so like, right,

311
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, we think you're great. It's like, why

312
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: I have no material. This is gonna go terribly, you know.

313
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, that kind that's how it was for me.

314
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, because they have their sense of humor. They don't

315
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 5: you don't think.

316
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 4: I remember when I would see comedians in the alternative

317
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 4: scene that were so fucking funny. I had to find

318
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 4: out they're not gonna work in Pittsburgh or you know not,

319
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: I'd pick any city it could be. But and then

320
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 4: I learned I could see someone love them and then

321
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 4: go somebody goes, oh, you should use them. They just

322
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 4: don't work on the road for yeah, you know, and

323
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 4: they're so fucking funny. Some eventually obviously can obviously everybody can.

324
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 4: They do it long enough does both And in the

325
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 4: beginning we're talking about obviously right, well.

326
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: You're it's the storytelling thing, where like that's what alternative

327
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: comedy had a lot of that kind of what did

328
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: you do today?

329
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: Shit?

330
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: Which people your average comedy club, a patron in Pittsburgh

331
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: does not give a shit about what's in book.

332
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 4: It's just a cultured appreciation for comedy. And you know

333
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: when the clubs curate it. There are clubs around the

334
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: world to curate this. There's scenes in la I mean,

335
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: if you don't think you can curate a crowd, go

336
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 4: to one place and go, why is everybody in this

337
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 4: audience so smart and so listening?

338
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 5: And what are they doing? Because it doesn't happen by accident,

339
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 5: you know.

340
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 4: And but I'm glad you mentioned the people that pick

341
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 4: you up because I charged they were so sweet and

342
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 4: they'd pick you up and you know, probably clean their car,

343
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: you know.

344
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I would write.

345
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: Notes for the longest time because I didn't want to

346
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 4: forget one experience. So I would write I had a book,

347
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 4: and it would say University of Iowa, eight chicken wings

348
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 4: with kids parents and because I remember that dance with students'

349
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: mom or like hang out at a fire pit, because

350
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: when I look back at the college, I wanted to

351
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 4: mean something. I kept that for like twenty years and

352
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 4: then I just tossed it in the track.

353
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just kidding.

354
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: Memories, Fuck these memories. That's a that's super weird because

355
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: I had a you know, sometimes if you smell something

356
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: and then it reminds you of something. There was this

357
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: smell in my house this morning, and it's I don't cook,

358
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: so I don't know where it came from. It was

359
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: almost like a ghost scent. But I was opening for

360
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: Janine Garoflow at some colleges back east, and we were

361
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: somewhere and I won't be able to remember where. I

362
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: probably upstate New York. And instead of being staying in

363
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: a hotel, we were just staying in this lady's house

364
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: and I it may have been a bed and breakfast,

365
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: but there was no signage. I was like, this is weird,

366
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: Like it was super weird. But so we got in

367
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: super late, you know. We just walked upstairs to our rooms,

368
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: went to sleep, got up in the morning, and we

369
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: had to take a flight at like, you know, six

370
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: or something. So we got up at like four in

371
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: the morning to get up and go and she had

372
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: made us breakfast and it was when we came downstairs,

373
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 1: it was snowing outside, and it was this beautiful neighborhood

374
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: where all the houses were clearly built in like nineteen twenty,

375
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: and it was very east coast like there was little

376
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: short fences between the yards, but you can see right

377
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: into other people's yards. It was very different than California,

378
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: and it was very striking and beautiful. And then this

379
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: lady had made this breakfast that smelled like everything she

380
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: made it with was the best ingredient you could find.

381
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: So I came downstairs like oh, and she was like,

382
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: here you go, just not what kind of eggs do

383
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: you want or anything, just you got a plate a

384
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: breakfast and it was the most perfect meal I may

385
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: have ever had in my life. And I can I

386
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: know the smell, so I was just sitting in this

387
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: room today doing something and I got the smell where

388
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: it's like, that's from the lady's house in fucking nineteen

389
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: ninety seven.

390
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: When whatever toast with that breakfast, Because if you're smelling Toast,

391
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 3: it means you could be having a stroke, right, and I'm.

392
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: Having a stroke to celebrate John Fetterman's when in Pennsylvania.

393
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 5: Oh is that true? That's so funny.

394
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: No, it's not true.

395
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: Did he No? Did he win though?

396

Speaker 5: What did you say that wasn't true?

Speaker 4: And Chris is like, oh, you're having a stroke. Yeah.

405
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, you know that's the that's how we work,

406
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: that's the dynamic on this podcast.

407
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 4: I was at my brothers and I'm just I'm only

408
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 4: bringing it doesn't really need to be brought up, but

409
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 4: the power of toast. And I knew my sister in

410
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 4: law must have been making a big breakfast because it

411
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: smelled so good. You know, you smell like you know,

412
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 4: all the breakfast items. And then when I went into

413
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: the kitchen. I asked my brother, I go, did oh,

414
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 4: did Meryl make breakfast or something? I said, He goes,

415
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 4: I made toast. I'm like, wow, that means there's never

416
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 4: anyone at my house making toasts without me knowing.

417
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 2: The seven to eight aroma that come with making toast.

418
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you have people over your house, you know what,

419
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 4: even if you don't make a breakfast, put a piece

420
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 4: of toast in the toast.

421
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: Get to be polite, please, Oh, tip and dog?

422
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: Is that this is my mutt dog blossoms.

423
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: Don't squeeze it, Todd, don't suck.

424
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 5: It's fair right. He comes right over. He knows exactly

425
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 5: what he wants.

426
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

427
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: She's basically saying, I'm like, you've been sitting here getting

428
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: zoom calls all day and it's bugging me. So I'm

429
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: you need to be done with this now. And the

430
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: answer is we have to wait a little while longer.

431
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 5: Right.

432
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 4: Some of the TikTok dog videos and tat videos, I

433
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: love it if you don't include that in giving TikTok

434
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 4: credit for whether it's good or bad. Every medium has

435
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 4: bad stuff, but I on that alone, and I see

436
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 4: creative things. I fucking am jealous of that I want

437
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: and then I see just heartwarming things. The animal videos alone,

438
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 4: sometimes it makes my day. Like getting up in the morning,

439
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 4: I get like, I don't have depression, but I can

440
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 4: be in a funk and one video will come on

441
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: and I know what I do. I stop right there, Todd,

442
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 4: that gave you a perspective, turn the phone off and

443
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 4: use it to get up.

444
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great talk.

445
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: I love TikTok. I'm a huge I'm a huge purveyor.

446
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 3: There was a brief period, like a year ago, where

447
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: I thought it was just lip syncing and dancing, and

448
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: and I was wrong.

449
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: And now I like lip syncing and dancing.

450
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 4: Also, I know, you know what I used to say

451
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 4: in my act, I go, tell what it's heartwarming, Like

452
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 4: what I just said to you, I would say to

453
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 4: the crowd, I go, and you know what? Okay, So

454
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 4: maybe I don't watch it for the lip sync in

455
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 4: the dancing, but you know what, I watch it for

456
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 4: that too.

457
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 5: I go full circle because it's true.

458
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: After a while, you're like even some of that, like

459
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: some stupid dance that two kids are doing on some

460
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 4: steps to a song I like, And then how did

461
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 4: they make up?

462
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 5: That dance, you know, well, and it's.

463
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: Also that one where there's a there's a dance too.

464
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: I think it's a Beyonce song and it's the one

465
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: that's the shoulders du da da da da da da

466
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: Like this now it's this thing, and I keep getting

467
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: it's like big old construction workers and there's eight of

468
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: them and they all start doing the dance together and

469
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: they're really good at it.

470
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great, right, it's the bat. It's humanity.

471
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: It's the beauty of humanity.

472
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 4: It is, And you know what, I get some of

473
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 4: my opinions from there. There's some young people that speak

474
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 4: very brilliantly, Like I'm like, oh, he might be twenty

475
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 4: one and he's our twenty and you're like, I don't

476
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 4: know why, but I trust him. And someone go, you

477
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 4: get your news from a nineteen year old kid on TikTok. Yeah, well,

478
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 4: I think I know what brilliance is. I think I

479
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 4: know what clarity sounds like. So the answer is, yeah,

480
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 4: I do. I pull from there too what their opinion

481
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: is entirely.

482
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: And they're informed, like I think about especially this last

483
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, the midterms just happened. There was a huge

484
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: gen z wave that no one saw coming where they

485
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: showed up and they're like, how dare you take our

486
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: abortion rights away? Fuck you, We're voting for this whatever.

487
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: It's so cool. And then I think of when I

488
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: was eighteen years old voting. No one gave a single

489
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: shit about voting in the like late eighties, nineties, like

490
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: it was uncool to know anything about politics. And these

491
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: days that's why I like TikTok is. The kids these

492
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: days know and care one hundred times more than I

493
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: ever did, like and they have to because.

494
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 4: You know what, I have to quote doctor Phil because

495
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: once in a while, intelligent things are inevitable. He said

496
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 4: something sort of goes to, I really appreciate hearing what

497
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: you're saying because you know it's not the norm.

498
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 5: And I talk about it all the time. I get it.

499
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 5: I get it.

500
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 4: But he said, if you look at like kids today,

501
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 4: as one kid, he goes, you know, when you it

502
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 4: takes a lot of there there, you know, I got

503
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 4: a boy, you know, to erase you, moron, He goes,

504
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 4: you say you're moron. It takes It doesn't take you

505
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 4: just you know, hey, there you go. It takes takes

506
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 4: thousands and thousands of good job.

507
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 5: I'm proud of you. So if we look at kids

508
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 5: today like that, you know how.

509
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: Many Vata boys they need? And all all they do

510
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 4: is get shipped on. And as factually as I know

511
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 4: as an older person, they're right. They the statistics show

512
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 4: they're always end up being right.

513
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 5: And then I gotta watch just old people shit on

514
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 5: them all the time.

515
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 4: So when people ask me why I repeat it and

516
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 4: why I'm glad to hear you said, I go, because

517
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 4: they need that a boy, they need it to hear

518
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 4: one person that's older than them go, no, we get it,

519
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 4: we get it.

520
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 5: Yes.

521
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 3: When I is that age, everyone my current age now

522
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: was like, oh you're young, kids don't know anything, or

523
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 3: they're a burden on society. And now I'm like no,

524
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: actually quite the opposite. This day, as I get older,

525
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: I feel like I don't want to hear the opinions

526
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 3: of anyone over thirty right, Yes, the time, Yeah, little

527
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: grandit Thunbergs, just get them.

528
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 5: I won't go an automatic pile.

529
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 4: But I think this one thing, I've said it before,

530
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 4: but I think it clears it up to decide whether

531
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 4: they're right.

532
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 5: There are some stats, you could call them two opinions.

533
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 4: So we can discuss everything that's on the table today,

534
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 4: and the kids could give their side, and we can

535
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 4: give our side, and we can. Okay, But if we're

536
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 4: in a hurry and we look at the trajectory of

537
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 4: the last fifty sixty years on all major issues everything,

538
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 4: they're right.

539
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 5: If they're ever wrong, they're right in the cause.

540
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 4: But maybe they go about it wrong. But they almost

541
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 4: have an amazing track record. So when I hear what

542
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 4: they're saying today, even if I enough time to listen,

543
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 4: I go the odds that they're right. If this isn't

544
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 4: an opportunity as an old person to prove you can

545
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 4: get out of your own way, it's this defining moment.

546
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 4: Is I'm saying this into your ear. You can't just

547
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 4: gloss over it when you hear me say you gotta go,

548
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: you gotta go back and go? Is fucking todd right?

549
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 4: Do they have an amazing track record? And if you

550
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 4: go and find out they do, and you don't change

551
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 4: the way you think, then you don't ever say you

552
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 4: can't get out of your own way, because that is

553
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 4: a fucking fact. It's not an opinion. And we they

554
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 4: and how tired they must be of being shit on.

555
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 4: How about don't even give me credit? How about a

556
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 4: treat to them would be how about just don't compliment us?

557
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 4: Just say nothing but no people all the time. I'm

558
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: all those more and I don't know what they're doing.

559
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 4: I got to hear Bill Maher say that one more time.

560
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 2: Test today.

561
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 5: Yeah they're having a ball. I got news for you.

562
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 5: You're the one dying.

563
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a reason your skin is gray and you

564
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: look like a miserable shit. But also, can I just say,

565
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: there's a lady on TikTok and her whole account is

566
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: celebrating how powerful gen Z is, and she basically points

567
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: out all the activism that they do that actually does something.

568
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: And the way I found out about her was, remember

569
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: when Trump tried to do that super rally and basically

570
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: what the gen Z kids. And it wasn't just kids,

571
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: there was just a bunch of TikTok people that did it.

572
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: They basically went and reserved tickets for this rally. So

573
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: the people who organized it thought there was going to

574
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: be five hundred thousand people at it, and literally like

575
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: four thousand people showed up because these kids went and

576
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: just reserved as many tickets as they could because they

577
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: realized they could. So they just pranked the entire Republican Party.

578
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: And you don't even understand how much they don't know

579
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: that these kids know, Like these kids went onto their

580
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: website and went, oh, you can get more than four

581
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: tickets a person. Well, I guess I'll just keep coming

582
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: on here and keep getting sets of four, eight, ten

583
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: tickets and will make you think that this is a

584
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: successful rally. And then that it was that pathetic thing

585
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: where like, truly it was just it looked like a

586
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: poorly attended like County fair, like a cover band playing

587
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: and it was Trump and all the all the people

588
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: they thought it was this like Hooray for America rally.

589
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 5: I remember that it was the best it was. It

590
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 5: was brilliant. Thanks for letting me yell for I love

591
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 5: why you just yelled?

592
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, my dad, That's why I love my dad.

593
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 3: He's seventy eight, maybe he's seventy nine now I should

594
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 3: call him anyway. He's always like, he's like, yeah, things

595
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 3: really probably won't get better until guys like me are

596
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: all dead, like.

597
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: And it makes me sad when he says that, But

598
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: I know why he's saying it. He's a you know,

599
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 2: it's one of these liberal older guys.

600
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: It's just the evolution that we are now seeing because

601
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: everything is on social media and everything is seen. We're

602
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: all we're all filming ourselves and each other all the time,

603
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: so it's much easier to clock right when people are

604
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: doing cool things like this cycle. Like sorry to talk

605
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: about the nineties forever, but back then, like pre internet,

606
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: talking about people getting a specific kind of comedy audience there,

607
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: pre internet, it was just you got whoever got tickets

608
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: that night, you got whoever was just using that night

609
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: that club as a fun plan to go drink, and

610
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: who cares about comedy? And now because of the digital age,

611
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, comedy nerds and people are like, this is

612
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: my passion and I will follow you from town to

613
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,479
Speaker 1: town and all that stuff that has made comedy especially

614
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, for the little road comedy I've experienced. It's

615
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: like it's such a game now because people who really

616
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: like comedy are the ones that are sitting there. It's

617
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: a world of difference between how it used to be,

618
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: and it's like, all everything's just getting better in a

619
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: lot of ways.

620
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 5: I love that you're saying this. It really is.

621
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 4: It's like I have to use the cliche it's music

622
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 4: to my ears because I'm at the point where what

623
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: I just said about the history of kids being on

624
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 4: the right side in comedy gets better and better, arts

625
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 4: get better and better.

626
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 5: It's not a bad thing. We may pretend that's an opinion,

627
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 5: but it's not. No, you don't. There's a history, there's

628
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 5: a trajectory. I don't. That's not me making it up.

629
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 5: And when you ignore all that, it's just like, I

630
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 5: don't know.

631
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 4: You can't be a good comic when you're delusional, when

632
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 4: you can put a litmus test on yourself. And sometimes

633
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 4: I have these clear moments where I almost have empathy

634
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 4: to the other side. I heard someone go colleges used

635
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 4: to be a place where you could be a free thinker,

636
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 4: and I went, Now, besides life experience, that's different. They

637
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 4: haven't been dating, that's not their fault, but they go,

638
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 4: comedy used to be a place where you could go

639
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 4: be a free thinker. And I all sarcastically wanted to say,

640
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 4: because I Will saw it on TV GOO, let me

641
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 4: ask you a question, by any chance did it come

642
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 4: become a place when you couldn't be a free Figer

643
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 4: when they had a problem with something.

644
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 5: You were saying, yeah, yeah, it still is a place

645
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 5: to be a free thinker. They're right, and you're wraw.

646
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 5: They're right, they're right.

647
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 2: You just said it. You just said it that they

648
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: used to be.

649
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 5: Now do you think that changed?

650
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 4: Well, if you really were thinking this thrugh, you'd at

651
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 4: least explain that that's the thing. If they were right,

652
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 4: let's say, societal these trajectories that have been going this

653
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 4: way completely changed in the year twenty twenty two, you

654
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 4: at least have to be aware of that and start

655
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: a sentence with listen, I know I will not be

656
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 4: the first person to say kids today, I'm well aware that,

657
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 4: oh you got my fucking ear.

658
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 5: But they don't. They just go right into it. They

659
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 5: just go out to kids today. You say that with

660
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 5: no shame, or when you get to speak, you.

661
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 4: Get to have that opinion that has zero history of right.

662
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: It's been written wrong over over and over again, and

663
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 4: you have a platform that large to be that wrong.

664
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: Well, it literally is the definition of an old guy

665
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: like that and or woman like That's what that is

666
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: is what are they doing with their hair? And the

667
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: boys look like girls like it's lit. We've seen it

668
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: in movies our entire lives. It's the old angry next

669
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: door neighbor who is alone in his house. And that

670
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: is part of it. Also, what you were saying about,

671
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: like the you know, college, it used to be able

672
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: to be a free thinker. The truth of that is

673
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: what they're saying, is I used to be able to

674
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: say whatever the fuck I want and I didn't have

675
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: to hear from the people I was talking about because

676
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: they didn't have a voice. And now they have a

677
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: voice because of social media and all this stuff, people

678
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: get to talk back. And so before I've been a

679
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: female comic since I was twenty years old, I've stood

680
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: in rooms and watched these fucking pigs stand on stage

681
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: and talk about women this and women fucking that, and

682
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't say a word. I couldn't be rude to

683
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: that guy. He was the headliner or he was the who,

684
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: and I was surrounded by men. What was I gonna do?

685
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: But now there's tons more women in comedy, there's people

686
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: on social media to go, hey, fuck you, pal and like.

687
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: And that's what they're mad about. Is it used to

688
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: be this one way street that they took full fucking

689
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: advantage of and we're like, yeah, it's me and whatever.

690
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: Where it's like you're just playing power dynamics in a

691
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: room and telling yourself that means you're funny. I've stood

692
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: next to you at bar, Sir, You're not fucking funny.

693
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: You're not interesting to talk to. You're not fun at

694
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: fucking all. You are just a dude saying a thing

695
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: and shitting on everybody who can't talk back to you.

696
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: It's weird. Those guys never fucking talk about big, strong

697
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: construction workers. They never have. They never have chunks about

698
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: how lame construction workers are or any dude that would

699
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: kick their ass. It's always women. It's always whatever is

700
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: convenient to them. That is the punch down that in

701
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: the eighties, seventies, maybe nineties when they were doing comedy,

702
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: it was they thought everyone fucking loved it, and they

703
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: never heard different.

704
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 5: No, and now you know it's I'm with you. I

705
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 5: love it. I love to hear it.

706
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 4: It's and it feels so nice to hear you know,

707
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 4: because if you think about it, Look, I don't always

708
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: agree with the out probably either do you, But I'll

709
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 4: tell you.

710
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 5: What I agree with it. Most of the time. I

711
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 5: agree that most of the time.

712
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 4: When I get down to the nitty gritty of it,

713
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 4: you know, so so you know, I'm okay to give

714
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 4: it a listen, and when it's wrong, it doesn't shit

715
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 4: on the whole thing. And sometimes they're wrong, and when

716
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 4: they're wrong, we all get it. Takes a good comedian

717
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 4: to ignore the pulse of the audience certain nights. We're comics,

718
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: we get it. But it doesn't make a good comedian

719
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 4: to never listen to anything, you know.

720
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: And and.

721
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 5: Oh, I shouldn't have smoked, because this is a great conversation.

722
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 5: I don't want to.

723
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 4: Oh, but if you think about it, the biggest cancelors,

724
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 4: you know, Like again, I don't mean to over use

725
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 4: this phrase, but I see this in some just factual

726
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 4: way that the biggest cancelors that want to shut everybody

727
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 4: up are comedians, right, Like, wait a second, someone has

728
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 4: to you know, Ricky Jervais, I can't take this. I

729
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 4: can scientifically break down something he says about that's like

730
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 4: seeing a sign on the side of the road that

731
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 4: says guitar lessons, and then you go and you go, hey,

732
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 4: I don't want any fucking guitar lessons.

733
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 5: No, it's not like that at all.

734
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: That's a bad example that they both used.

735
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 4: And you know what, I'm not going to break down

736
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 4: the analogy because if someone's listening to this and they

737
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 4: disagree with me, you can do it on your own.

738
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 4: You can figure out even if you think life sucks today,

739
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 4: you can go no, that's not a clear example. You

740
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 4: know he talks about He goes, oh, they don't want

741
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 4: you to say. First of all, he says, it's jokes,

742
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 4: and it's not. It's social opinions. Come on, be honest,

743
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 4: no one ever complained about your joke about shampoo or

744
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 4: trash or dogs. Come on, you can you can't go

745
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 4: hide your social opinions. So you talk about not believing

746
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 4: in God, that doesn't mean you don't think other people

747
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 4: shouldn't be able to believe in God. Well, what makes

748
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: you think that the average person that complains about you,

749
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 4: they don't want your job taken away? And because of

750
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 4: a small slice, let's not indulge into that, very very

751
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 4: small sly, the majority want you to keep doing what

752
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 4: you're doing, and they're just fucking doing their commentary on it.

753
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 5: Right, So people have a right to react to what you.

754
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: Do, right, free speech, that's literally speech.

755
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 4: He goes, I don't know who these people are following

756
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 4: me on Twitter. Yeah, so you want them to see it,

757
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 4: why don't you just write it down and put it

758
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 4: in a box then, like they're reacting, and even if

759
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 4: they're wrong, even if they're wrong, like people are reacting.

760
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 4: More people have a voice now than they ever did.

761
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 4: And yeah, for for someone that doesn't want to grow,

762
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 4: that fucking blows.

763
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:34,959
Speaker 2: Yeah.

764
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: Yes.

765
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 3: And the funny thing is the only the on that

766
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 3: story is only bouncing around among comedians.

767
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 2: The oh, James Corden did his joke.

768
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 3: That's just among comed No one outside of comedy cared

769
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: about that news.

770
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 5: Well, I even forgot that then James Corden did it,

771
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 5: but it's you know.

772
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: Now you did it. You just did the bit. Well,

773
00:35:54,520 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 2: now who's he mentioned the sign and the guitar lessons,

774
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 2: Todd Glas I fantasize.

775
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 5: But it's never gonna happen.

776
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 4: Literally, finally one day getting to ask somebody some of

777
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: these questions, like even Ricky Gervais to go sit down

778
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 4: with me, because to me, it's a clean analogy, like

779
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 4: you walk all the you know, you talk about not

780
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 4: believing in God, I'm sure if someone else wants too,

781
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 4: You're not saying they shouldn't be able to. You almost

782
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 4: could trick people, And that's why you need to be

783
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 4: a good lawyer to fool people. You have to say, Ricky,

784
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 4: how come you don't think people should have the right

785
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 4: to believe in God? What if somebody wants to believe

786
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 4: in it? They'll go, oh, they can. I'm just giving

787
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 4: my opinion. I go, well, what makes you think people

788
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 4: that complain about you don't feel the same way?

789
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 5: Right?

790
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 4: You know, people, I don't get how they would defend

791
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 4: that other people should just not be able to respond

792
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 4: the things that they say.

793
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 5: Like, I don't get that.

794
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 4: I really don't get it, not even sarcastic that. I

795
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 4: don't get how they're not embarrassed to say that.

796
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: Well, I think because they identify with the rest of

797
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: the people who are saying it, and it become a

798
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: kind of you know, this is the group that I

799
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: belong in. To me, I think about like I think

800
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: about when I finally was able to have an hour,

801
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: which you know, I think I had an hour for

802
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: like the spring of nineteen ninety eight, is I had

803
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: an hour and that that was the most and it's

804
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: really fucking hard. I had to work really hard to

805
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: do it, and it was a lot. And to make

806
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: anybody want to listen to you for that long is difficult.

807
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: You have to be original, you have to be telling

808
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: them things that they relate to but they've never heard before,

809
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: like you're threading a needle as comics and you guys

810
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: know this, but it's a hard thing to do. And

811
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: so it makes sense to me watching some of these

812
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: people who go to these places that you it is

813
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 1: it's just easy, and it's it's like easy, clap trappy

814
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: getting the audience to I'm so enraged, you know what

815
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 1: I mean, And it's like, now you've killed seven minutes,

816
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: You're good, you're almost home. Like it's that kind of thing,

817
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: which just you do enough of those things in your

818
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: act and it's the easiest thing in the world, and

819
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: you have a following the leaves everything you know that's

820
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: going to clap for those things, and you don't have

821
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: to fucking make a wry observation about dish soap or whatever,

822
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 1: because that's harder work. It's harder writing, and it's more

823
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: creative or like, honestly, Todd, I've watched you do comedy

824
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: fucking a million times. I've never seen you do the

825
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: same thing twice. I've never seen you not kill, I

826
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: have never seen you not make an audience adore you.

827
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: You are a brilliant fucking comedian. And I think all

828
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: these things are because when you're on you do it

829
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: while you're on stage, you do it in the middle

830
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: of your act, where you're just like you're questioning what

831
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: you're saying, You're questioning how people are responding, You're adjusting

832
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: as you go. It's a thing very very few people

833
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: can do, and a lot of other people want to

834
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: do it, and they just get as they just approximate,

835
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like it's same with you, Chris.

836
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: Like you, guys write material other people could never dream

837
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: of writing, and it's natural for you. So getting up

838
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: on stage and doing an hour of like your own

839
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: super original comedy material it to you, guys, it's not

840
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: special anymore because you've been slugging out for you know,

841
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: for your whole careers. But there's some people who have

842
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 1: never they've never gotten on stage and said a really

843
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: true thing or a really good original thing because they've

844
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: never tried to. That's never been their goal. They're just like, yeah,

845
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: I just want to be up here, and I want

846
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: to get the applause. And however, I get that.

847
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 4: Right, and then you get really good at that, and

848
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 4: then it changes. Now wait, now I'm good at it.

849
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 4: Now I have to Yeah, listen, I know what it's like,

850
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 4: and I have also empathy. But I'm allowed to make

851
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 4: fun of comedians.

852
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 5: You know.

853
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 4: That's what they're begging that we should all be able

854
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 4: to do, is be honest. So when I make fun

855
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 4: of it, you know, it's funny when you make fun

856
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 4: of people. I noticed sometimes if somebody comes on to

857
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 4: a comment, like, let's say that doesn't agree with me

858
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, and then I'm yelling. I get it, like,

859
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 4: but they'll always say that, like they'll use a word

860
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 4: that is like wow, right, well that Sue's mad at me,

861
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 4: you know, like a word that I don't like. You know,

862
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 4: if you amongst five or six or seven of them,

863
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 4: you know, I'm like, all right, well, who would have

864
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 4: thought you'd be bad at communicating? You don't want to grow,

865
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 4: and you know, and of course you want to, you know,

866
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 4: but but hey, you know what I said to someone

867
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 4: a few weeks ago that it's a lot more fun

868
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 4: to grow willingly than not grow angrily. And then I

869
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 4: almost answer the question of well, wait, why can't you

870
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 4: not grow happily? Because you don't, you get angry, So

871
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 4: you either grow willingly, which is to me fun and

872
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 4: sometimes it's hard, and I learning new ways to address people.

873
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 4: I get caught up on it. But I give a shit,

874
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 4: so I'll eventually learn, eventually learn because I give a shit.

875
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 4: That's all you have to do is give a shit,

876
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 4: and you'll eventually learn. That's all it takes for someone

877
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 4: is I do want to learn? Oh, if you give

878
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 4: a shit about it and you believe in.

879
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 5: It, you'll learn.

880
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 4: It comes it take a while, you'll suck up, no

881
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 4: big deal. But growing willingly, Yeah, when you is fun

882
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 4: and I don't. And I see what people look like

883
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 4: that don't grow angrily, and it starts their skin starts

884
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 4: taking a toll. Yeah, yeah, that's all the first Yeah,

885
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 4: just this, you know angry, Well, there's you know what,

886
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 4: that's probably not true. There's there's probably some good looking

887
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 4: people that I.

888
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: It's all filler and botox though, it's all fake.

889
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're kreen when you said that with Todd.

890
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 3: I've been trying to think about there are bits that

891
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 3: I've seen you do once and I wanted to see

892
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 3: you do it again. And I one time I asked

893
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 3: you to do that does my bread smell like Taco's bit? Yeah,

894
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: because the other time you did it, I laughed so hard,

895
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 3: And then you did it at the show we were

896

Speaker 3: No.

901
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 4: Sometimes I used to like to go along with it, like, no,

902
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 4: does my By the way, Sarah Silverman gave me that joke,

Speaker 5: Oh, I closed with it.

907
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: It was so bad. So I used to do that

00:41:58,360 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 2: taco bit, do the taco?

909
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 5: I commit? I commit.

Speaker 4: One time I called Gary Goldman and I have friends

911
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 4: over the house. He did an entire seven minute bit

912
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 4: for me and my friends and we loved him for it.

913
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 2: And I'll do the same.

914
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 5: I will commit.

915
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 4: Here we go.

916
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 2: Okay.

917
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 5: So I was on an airplane and the woman.

918
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 4: Next to me, she turned to me, she goes, can

919
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 4: I ask you a question? Does my breath smell like tacos.

920
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't know. Do you put catchit

921
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 5: in your tacos? She goes.

922
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 4: She goes, no, I don't put cat shit in my tacos.

923
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 4: I go, then no, But if you do, then yet,

924
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 4: here's why I don't. I said, then no.

925
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 5: I just said, if you do put catchit in your tacos,

926
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 5: then yes.

927
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 4: She goes, yeah, But I keep saying, Look, I'm just

928
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 4: trying to tell you and anyway I would just do it, and.

929
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: I love it.

930
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 5: I'm just saying yes.

931
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 3: The first time I heard it, I requested you do

932
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 3: it again, and that crowd was somehow triggered by it

933
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: because they make cat shit tacos.

934
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 2: At the first.

935
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 5: Oh my god, what else is going on? Todd?

936
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 1: What's new for your holiday season? You know, we're about

937
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:11,840

Speaker 5: See, yeah, yeah, I love it. I love the holiday season.

00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 5: I get Christmas.

940
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 4: The day after Christmas, I could lose wind of the

941
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 4: excitement of the you know, I feel like, oh.

942
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 5: It's over. Yeah.

943
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 4: So I start like very early, like putting the tree up.

944
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 4: So I'm starting to think about I like that to

945
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 4: be up the day before Thanksgiving.

946
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 5: The day after. It's just that I don't decorate it.

947
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 5: I just get it up, you know.

948
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 4: But what's I'll give a quick shameless plug if it's

949
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 4: all right. So ten year Old Tom is a show

950
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 4: I'm doing on HBO Max. It's a call ten year

951
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 4: old time. I do the I voice the principal. It's

952
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 4: an animated show and it's a stupid amount of fun.

953
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 4: I did it during the pandemic. I was I don't

954
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 4: like auditions. I get very nervous. I don't I don't

955
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 4: do well. I don't do well, and uh and I

956
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 4: feel bad for people when I don't do well because

957
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 4: most of the time they were really nice, like most

958
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 4: people were nice.

959
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm doing horrible.

960
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: You know.

961
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 5: They would say, do you want to do it again?

962
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 5: I go, please, no, don't be so nice.

963
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 4: And so anyway, it was over the phone, and you know,

964
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 4: I never did this before, but I smoked pot. I

965
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 4: never went on an audition high ever smoked a little.

966
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 4: It relaxed me and I and it was fun, like

967
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 4: I knew on the phone.

968
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:28,439
Speaker 5: It was fun.

969
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 4: And we did season one and we're doing season two

970
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 4: right now. And felt like Jennifer Coolidge does some stuff

971
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 4: in it. David the Kuffney, John Malcovitch please the music director,

972
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 4: and you were high and.

973
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 5: Not well.

974
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 4: You know what, when I first started to go, I

975
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 4: went to the studio early, and I'd parked my car

976
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 4: like an hour before, and I'd smoke a little and

977
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 4: have a cup of coffee, get into a great headspace.

978
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 5: And then about half the time I don't do that.

979
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.

980
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 3: When you get high because then you come in the

981
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 3: come in the room and tell everyone I got high.

982
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 5: I'm high.

983
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 3: I always announce it. It's important to let everyone know.

984
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 3: If it's in your head, you should just tell everyone

985
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 3: you know them.

986
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 5: I feel like I have to tell people. Maybe don't

987
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 5: do that as much anymore, but I still it's so

988
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 5: funny that you remember that detail I do.

989
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 2: I do it as well.

990
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 3: It's because when you did it, I'm like, oh man,

991
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 3: I announce that I'm high when i'm high as well.

992
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 4: I feel it gives me. I mean, I don't want

993
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 4: to overuse it, but if you understand where I'm at.

994
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 4: Like sometimes if you tell people they're how, they're glad.

995
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 4: They'll be like, oh cool, now they know you understand

996
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 4: you better. Yeah.

997
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe we're telling people. Maybe we're right. Maybe it's

998
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 5: this way we're being received, which.

999
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 3: Is not very I tell people I'm high just so

1000
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 3: after that I can say whatever I want. Then they

1001
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 3: can't get mad at me. And they're just like, oh,

1002
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 3: he's high. Remember whenas Hi hi, he always says weird things?

1003
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 2: Are you right now?

1004
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 3: In is your media podcast area where you use behind

1005
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 3: your house where you used to have dinner parties?

1006
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 5: Yes? I took that room, oh my god, and changed

1007
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 5: it into a studio.

1008
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 2: Have dirt floors. It seemed like it was like a bar.

1009
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 3: Okay, no, and I'm not no offense plan, take no offense,

1010
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: that's okay. Did your podcast studio have a dirt floor

1011
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 3: with all the spiders and the dirt, but you had

1012
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 3: all those dinner jackets by the door.

1013
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 2: I did memory entertainment prank.

1014
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 5: We had a party one night.

1015
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 4: We told people, like years ago, hey wear a blue

1016
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 4: blazer if you want, as a joke, you know, and

1017
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 4: everybody left them. And then we started knowing like we

1018
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 4: would have like so many, like forty blue blazers.

1019
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I just hung them all over the garage.

1020
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 3: You know.

1021
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 5: They're like sliding old wooden doors.

1022
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 4: And when people would come over sometimes they put them

1023
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 4: on it's weird.

1024
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 5: You could be wearing whatever you want. But if there's

1025
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 5: a table of blue blazers and you take a picture,

1026
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 5: it looks like, oh.

1027
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 2: What was that Hault meeting?

1028
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1029
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we have matching shoes on too, And then

1030
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 3: we all slept and we got that and waited.

1031
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 2: They're coming at midnight. Put on your blazer.

1032
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: Oh it's blazer time.

1033
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, that's so that you've really changed the place.

1034
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 4: Hey, you know what if I could be so presumptuous, sure,

1035
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 4: part of me says, don't do this, but I feel

1036
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 4: we had such a great conversation about growth and that

1037
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 4: I want to try to put one more. I have

1038
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 4: this other thing that I think is like sort of

1039
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 4: using stats to make an opinion, you know, And it's

1040
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 4: almost like I want to trick people in this too,

1041
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 4: but I won't. It's probably not a good communication tool

1042
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 4: with any of those people. If you went, you know,

1043
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 4: this whole thing with you know how people identifying you know,

1044
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 4: like you know, you just say you go, you know,

1045
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 4: everybody agrees that, you know, people the whole world's sick

1046
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 4: of the and they're gonna go yeah, I know, oh yeah,

1047
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 4: everyone everyone doesn't want to it, and then you go, well,

1048
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 4: guess what. The whole world is a horrible history of

1049
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 4: being on the right side of history.

1050
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 5: Usually the good sign is if most people are against.

1051
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 4: It, it's the right thing to do, right, I mean,

1052
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 4: we have a history of the majority of people being wrong.

1053
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 4: So if your opinions, when you do stand up, you

1054
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 4: feel like there's a lot of people out there that

1055
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,479
Speaker 4: agree with me, you feel it. You can't just switch

1056
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 4: what I'm saying and try to work this for you. Now,

1057
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 4: come on, you know it that you feel it, well,

1058
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 4: that should be the first sign of Wow. That means

1059
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,839
Speaker 4: there's a high probability that I could be wrong. If

1060
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 4: you can at least say that, then you have no

1061
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 4: interest in growth because you should at least go masses

1062
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 4: agree with me.

1063
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 5: There's a high probability that I'm wrong.

1064
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna put a lot of thought into this

1065
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 4: before i leave carnage behind with the words that come

1066
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 4: out of my mouth.

1067
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 3: Yes, that's why it's called being progressive and not the opposite,

1068
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 3: which is stagnant and conservative and furious fear pit.

1069
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is really, honestly, in my opinion, what it's

1070
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: all about, which we all have fear, and we all

1071
00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: are in a death grip battle with our fear, and

1072
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: things are demons and the things that we deal with

1073
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: and whatever, our pasts and our whatever all the time.

1074
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: But the idea, you can't that's your thing. You can't

1075
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: like your thing, turn into them, them them, because you're correct,

1076
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: You're wrong if you're doing that. It's like all the

1077
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: I think, all the comics that I love and love

1078
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: to watch and relate to, when they're talking about shit,

1079
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: they're talking about themselves. It's based in here's what I do,

1080
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: Here's here's how I'm dumb, Here's how I'm weird, Here's

1081
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: how I'm whatever. It's not always like these booking guys

1082
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: over there. That's like everybody, everybody that does comedy knows

1083
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: that's the week.

1084
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's fine.

1085
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said that, because I was, I would

1086
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 3: realize what I was trying to think of jokes to

1087
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 3: do the other night because I hadn't done stand up

1088
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 3: for a few weeks, and I'm like, why are all

1089
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 3: of my jokes about the other day I did that?

1090
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 3: Or should I be including the world more? But I'm

1091
00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 3: just talking about myself. And I felt confronted by that, Actually, well.

1092
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 1: I think it's good. It's self analysis, it's and it's

1093
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: also saying here's what I do. I know it's weird

1094
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,479
Speaker 1: or does anybody relate to this with me or whatever?

1095
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: And it's kind of like you have to personalize it

1096
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: and then it's on you, like whatever the thing you're

1097
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: if you're calling something out right and.

1098
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 4: It's not that because someone one said if your comedy

1099
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 4: bothers people, maybe is you know, hurts people, you shouldn't

1100
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 4: do it, And I try to not be You have

1101
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 4: to really be careful you don't say something that could

1102
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 4: work against you, because that's really not true. Like in

1103
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 4: comedy sometimes when people say brilliant things that they annoy people.

1104
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 4: I'm sure you know George Carl had a lot of

1105
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 4: jokes to annoy people. The question is so, so that

1106
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 4: get it? You know, good comedy can sometimes bother people.

1107
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 4: But you just want to make sure your opinions have

1108
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 4: a track record with as we could say, bothered the

1109
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 4: right thing.

1110
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yes, you know.

1111
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 5: You know who are you? Who are you? Who are you?

1112
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: You know?

1113
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 5: Like they said, you know, make fun.

1114
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 4: I think I hear these things as my career went on,

1115
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 4: and I always I wish I remember who said it,

1116
00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 4: but you don't. But at least you do these little

1117
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 4: nuggets of brilliance. And I think it was something like,

1118
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 4: don't make fun of people for who they are. Make

1119
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 4: fun of you can make fun of them for the

1120
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 4: choices they make, you know, but don't make fun of

1121
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 4: them for, like.

1122
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 5: You know, their being who they are.

1123
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 2: Right. Well, I think you said that, Let's just make

1124
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 2: it you you were.

1125
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: That's a classic Todd class.

1126
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one of you.

1127
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 4: It's all you, you know, Karen, you said something before

1128
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,240

00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 4: name for my special because I never you know, if

1130
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 4: I do another one.

1131
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 5: You said that you you adjusted as I What did

1132
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 5: you say? You adjusted as I go on? Or you

1133
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 5: you adjust as you go on?

1134
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 2: Or yes, adjusting as I go on? Yeah, adjusting as

1135
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 2: I go on?

1136
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's great.

1137
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: You could do adjusting as I take it.

1138
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 2: Karen, will give it to you to give you that, here's.

1139
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: The poor man's copyright. You now own that Todd glass.

Speaker 1: I legally give it to you.

00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 2: And this is recorded, which makes a binding.

1142
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,959
Speaker 1: And although I want to counter pitch my own idea

1143
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: with a second idea, which is. I think you could

1144
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: also name your special the Power of Toast because you

1145
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,479

1150
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,239

1154
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,360

00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 2: you can have it.

1156
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: I'm on ambient. Do you see how when the sun

1157
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: goes down, this room goes dark and then my face

1158
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: like Gary.

1159
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,200

00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks Ton, Yeah it looks cool. It looks hasty.

1162
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 3: Todd, are you the first time I saw you do

1163
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 3: this was when we all did that podcast thing here

1164
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 3: in town downtown. But performing with the band? Are you

1165
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 3: regularly doing that? Do you travel with those those guys?

1166
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 4: That's a good question. Yeah, I know a bat Well,

1167
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 4: then I say that's something I like talking about. Yeah,

1168
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 4: I was going into different cities. It has sort of

1169
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 4: evolved over, you know, three or four year period where

1170
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 4: I would go in a night early and get a

1171
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 4: piano player and a drummer and and uh and they

1172
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 4: would learn a lot.

1173
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 5: You know.

1174
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 4: It's surprising how you much you can learn the day

1175
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 4: before relaxed, you know. And and then I started realizing

1176
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,919
Speaker 4: when I brought one guy to three to three weeks

1177
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 4: with me, what the show was.

1178
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 5: It was And I'm long story as short as I

1179
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 5: can make it, I go.

1180
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 4: I either got to bring one guy on the road

1181
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 4: right keyboard and and he's also more of his comedic

1182
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 4: ability is what he happened to play the keyboard.

1183
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 5: But it was the comedy.

1184
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 4: I can always you train a drummer and a travel

1185
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 4: player and put in put in a comedian or two

1186
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 4: with bongos.

1187
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 5: You know, I can fill it. Yeah, they all were,

1188
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 5: you know, I make it look and but I had

1189
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 5: to bring that guy. So that's what I started doing.

1190
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 4: So what I do is every single place I picked

1191
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 4: from two people, and I bring one person with me.

1192
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 4: That's great, and then they know they have keyboard, the iPad,

1193
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 4: they know me the bits. The band will follow and

1194
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 4: then I'll go in I hire a drummer. Maybe if

1195
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 4: you know a trumpet player, and I love it.

1196
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 2: And I can take it's the best. I'm just kidding,

1197
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah you can you.

1198
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 3: I was thinking of you, Todd when I did the show,

1199
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 3: because there was a jazz band accompaniment at this outdoor

1200
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 3: show mid quarantine in San Diego. And I have this

1201
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 3: reggae bit where I joking, lee, am whatever, it's just

1202
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 3: a white guy doing reggae and I'm ashamed of it,

1203
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 3: but I keep doing it.

1204
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 2: And then and so, but this band came in.

1205
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 3: With they were so good that we actually did like

1206
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes of making up irene reggae songs, and then

1207
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 3: they did a lot of I had so much fun

1208
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 3: that I couldn't sleep all night. I was like, well,

1209
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 3: now I have to steal Todd Glass's idea. And with

1210
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 3: this band, it's a stupid amount of fun. Yeah, you know,

1211
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 3: like it sounds big. We have tracks they play along with.

1212
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 4: But to come out to the music and also to

1213
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 4: take a place that's already pretty cool because at the

1214
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 4: Vermont Comedy Club, that place is pretty fucking awesome.

1215
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it doesn't get any better than that.

1216
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 4: And then they let me do my own little thing,

1217
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 4: like we black tablecloth did, and then the band was playing.

1218
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 4: One of the keyboard guys set up a second keyboard,

1219
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 4: so when they came into the lobby, he was.

1220
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 5: Playing you know, upbeat jazz.

1221
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it makes the night start from the bar

1222
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 4: and then in the showroom and then they bring me

1223
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 4: on and it's it's larger than life, you know. You

1224
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 4: hear drums and trumpet and it's fun to walk out too,

1225
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 4: and it makes the whole night.

1226
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 5: I have them play as there leaven who play as

1227
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:44,200

Speaker 4: I said, you should hire a saxophone player for a

1242
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 4: special event to play in the street, because that's what

1243
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 4: I've done at a few places. Just before they get

1244
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 4: there from a block away let the night start. So

1245
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 4: she's doing that. So every night there'll be a guy

1246
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 4: out on the street with sacks playing just as they're

1247
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 4: walking in the bill.

1248
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 2: Oh that's so great. Yeah, that'll be a great show.

1249
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

1250
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's one of the last times I

1251
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 1: saw you perform. It was Podfast La Downtown at that big, fancy,

1252
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: beautiful hotel. And in that we were in a ballroom,

1253
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: so you were on this stage and it looked like

1254
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 1: it had almost like a borderline like the shining vibe

1255
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,439
Speaker 1: to do it where it was like there was a band,

1256
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: like an old you know, a band, a full band.

1257
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean I think you had like five six guys

1258
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: up there.

1259
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they were funny. They a hilarios tim.

1260
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, they know the bit. See that's the thing. They

1261
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 5: know the bits.

1262
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 4: But the good news is if I have the one

1263
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 4: guy with me, and let's say there's two that have

1264
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 4: never done it, they're just mimicking what he's doing. Yeah,

1265
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 4: but they they are, well they believe me. It is

1266
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 4: an absurd toy to have for the comedic bits, you know. Yeah,

1267
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 4: and it's it's a lot of fun. I'm trying to

1268
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 4: do a run in this October, like an off Broadway

1269
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 4: where I really beef it up and like just do

1270
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 4: everything and have it run for like two weeks in

1271
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 4: an off Broadway thing.

1272
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 5: We're working on it right now.

1273
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 2: To get that. That's great.

1274
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: Nice.

1275
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it takes it to that level.

1276
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 3: I always think like stand up just because I it's

1277
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 3: just really when you look at it, it's a person talking,

1278
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 3: So I never think, well, why is that in Vegas

1279
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 3: or Broadway or what. That's My own insecurity is about

1280
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 3: stand up and what I do for a living. But

1281
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 3: if you have music and all these layers to.

1282
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 5: It, it's basically stand up.

1283
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 4: And sometimes if I'm paranoid that like maybe I'm banned

1284
00:57:58,160 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 4: heavy bit in the beginning of the show, before I

1285
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 4: done like it, I try to do twenty minutes to

1286
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 4: stand up right up, play.

1287
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, like band bits with the band, So are you.

1288
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,439
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'll turn to the crowd and go, hey, folks,

1289
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 4: it's basically stand up. Yeah, Well that's what I like

1290
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 4: about it.

1291
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 3: You're you're sort of holding up a mirror to that

1292
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 3: classic Vegas UH lounge act and almost making fun of it.

1293
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 2: But it's amazing. Yeah, At the same time, it's entertaining

1294
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 2: in the same way.

1295
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 5: It's fun.

1296
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 1: It's fun, and musicians also want to be comedians, as

1297
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: we all knows want to be musicians. So there is

1298
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: that thing where like when you were just saying, you

1299
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: could hire people in the city you were in and

1300
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: they would be able to do it along with you

1301
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: right away. It's like that's that is what I love

1302
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: about musicians and that type of person is they know

1303
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: their shit. Like when I play the guitar, it's like

1304
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: I really have to think about it and make sure

1305
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: I do it right or whatever. When they're doing it,

1306
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: they're just like litle like they know they're pros and

1307
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: so stuff like that is fun because they're already really

1308
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: good at playing. They want to play, they want to

1309
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: improvise the music, but then also like play with the

1310
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: whole form. Like to me, it would be like a

1311
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: musician's dream.

1312
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 4: And once they get laughs, they sometimes they don't understand

1313
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 4: right away. They're always nice. I tell the vibes the

1314
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 4: most important thing. They're always nice. A lot of times

1315
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 4: they're familiar with my stand up at least I like

1316
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 4: that because I feel comfortable with them right away. But

1317
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 4: they get when they get a laugh, like sometimes they

1318
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 4: might not understand why I'm making them do something, but

1319
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 4: when it gets a big laugh, and it does, you know,

1320
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 4: I know, I smell when a band bit's gonna get

1321
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 4: a laugh, you know. I go, so I'm gonna say this,

1322
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 4: and then whatever I say go and I go, you

1323
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 4: guys aren't even fucking listening to me. They go yeah,

1324
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 4: and then they'll do that, but for like enough time

1325
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 4: where eventually it gets big laugh and then they're in

1326
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 4: they trust my judgment.

1327
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 5: I know I didn't sell that.

1328
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 3: No, I know what you're talking about, though I've seen

1329
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 3: them all nervously laugh and keep doing it. Yeah, that's

1330
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 3: I can imagine like hiring while you're in Austin, like

1331
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 3: a saxophone player and he gets a big laugh and

1332
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 3: then starts crying. It's like they're laughing at my saxone again.

1333
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 3: It's like in fifth grade. Takes it all personally.

1334
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 2: No, it's a comedy. It's me. I'm the comic. They're laughing.

1335
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: That was the fastest hour. I think this is the

1336
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: fastest episode we've ever for me emotionally time wise, that

1337
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: we've ever done, because I literally thought it was fifteen

1338
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: minutes and we're literally at an hour right now.

1339
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, good Ring Todd, you said important things and well you.

1340
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 5: Know what you guys were Seriously it was really, uh,

1341
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 5: it was it was. It was a it was a

1342
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 5: what do I say? How come I can't think of

1343
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 5: anything to say?

1344
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 2: You got high?

1345
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 5: Say?

1346
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 4: No, it is?

1347
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 5: It was really it was. It was very enjoyable talk.

1348
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 4: It was like just to you know, hearing some things

1349
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 4: that were like just so refreshing, and you don't hear

1350
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 4: all the time, and then that helps you sort of

1351
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 4: the sometimes you steal other people's verbiage when you're trying

1352
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 4: and make a point, they say something you agree with,

1353
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 4: and then you can quote them the next day because

1354
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 4: you see, oh I can say that, that's a cleaner

1355
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 4: way to say that.

1356
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1357
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 4: So I always enjoy and then just being silly and giggling,

1358
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 4: all mixed and intertwined in between was a very enjoyable.

1359
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1360
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah stars. Would you give this a five star review? Oh?

1361
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 5: Yeah? As an experience, I feel my whole head right

1362
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 5: now is very happy.

1363
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah me too, me too. That's great.

1364
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I miss saying I miss hanging out with you

1365
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 3: in green rooms and acting things out and laughing and uh,

1366
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 3: it's just good you know, you know what.

1367
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 4: I'll do, and I'm podcast shy. I don't know if

1368

1369
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,680

1370
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 4: out and then maybe because I think you would get

1371
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 4: a kick out of the studio and the band thing

1372
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:46,080
