Speaker 2: You saying volted?

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 4: It's listen, it's an amazing fan base to have women,

15
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 4: women and black people are the best fan bases you

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 4: could possibly. There's so much passion, man, But if their support,

17
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 4: their support absolutely, Like at the beginning, I used to

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 4: think I had to stand up for that. People would

19
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 4: be like, oh, he's just like a girl's comedy, only

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 4: girls like him, and I used to not understand it.

21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 4: So I was coming at a place of like I

22
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 4: was coming from a place of being like, no, I'm

23
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 4: I'm for everybody like guys like me to I used

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 4: to get defensive about it and deny it, not realizing

25
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 4: it was like the biggest possible compliment. Like somebody took

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: something I said out of context on a podcast one

27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 4: time in the very beginning of everything blowing up, when

28
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 4: they were asking about all my female fans and everything,

29
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 4: and the way I was saying, the way I responded

30
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 4: was incorrect, verbage. I had said something like I hate it,

31
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 4: which wasn't right. I was trying to describe the energy

32
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 4: at these shows because I was doing smaller theaters in

33
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 4: the midst of everything, in the midst of like the

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: mania of like when I first first blew up, and

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 4: like the whole crowd is like eighty percent women, right,

36
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 4: and they're screaming like boy band shit throughout the whole shit.

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: I literally couldn't get through the shows, Like couldn't finish

38
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 4: a joke. People are screaming, standing up, trying to get attention,

39
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 4: and at that time, I'm like, I'm trying to build

40
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: a set. I have a Netflix specialize to go film,

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: like I really have to work. I'm trying to be

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: a performer right now, artists and work on this and

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: I can't deal with this distraction right now.

44
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: So at the time.

45
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: It was just frustrating. It wasn't that I had a

46
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 4: problem with the fan base. I was just like, just

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: sit and listen, and I promise you will have a

48
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: good time. But I had I had misspoken in the podcast.

49
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 4: He got taken out of context and people thought I

50
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 4: was like complaining about having a female fan base.

51
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: It's the best fan base to have. Just chilling laugh,

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: that's all.

53
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: Do you see all the shoes in the handbags they got?

54
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: If they they'll.

55
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: Be sitting next to their husband being like, Matt Rife

56
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 4: is my hall pass on a shirt? And I'm like,

57
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 4: you just gonna bring your husband to the who, by

58
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 4: the way, paid for your ticket.

59
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: Probably he's furious now he's sitting there furious about that man.

60
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: But it's the most fun fan base.

61
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: Man.

62
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: They're not uptight. They're so supportive. They give the best energy.

63
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: I hate that they got twisted at a misconception.

64
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: He was also on NBC Bring the Funny with Ali.

65
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, he's so smooth man.

66
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 4: He's another one of those people like a DC Curry,

67
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: where like he can sit in some silence and tell

68
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 4: them the story. Yes, he could sit there, take two

69
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: three minutes and then Jazz right. It's an amazing writer.

70
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 3: Man.

71
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: I met him.

72
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 4: Through Bill Bellamy back when I was probably probably by

73
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 4: the same time, twenty.

74
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: Something like that.

75
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: Storytelling you get guys like Bill Burr, Lewis C. K.

76
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: Carlin.

77
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: I think right now, the greatest storyteller, maybe the greatest

78
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: storyteller ever, is Chapelle. The way he cant, the way

79
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: he can jump over and jump back and weave in

80
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: and out and dodge.

81
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 2: Trum he is the greatest of all time.

82
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: Man, he' gotta be. And I'm old enough to remember prior.

83
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: I remember, Yes, I remember Murphy. It's hard for me

84
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: to say there's a comedian better than Chappelle right now.

85
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Ever, I can't see it. Man.

86
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 4: He's from about forty five minutes south of me in Ohio.

87
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: I grew up and my friend's used to Joe Brown, like,

88
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: what just drove down there and just happened to run

89
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: into Oh that never happened. Then you go to Yellow Springs.

90
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: He is just around town. He's just walking down the sidewalk.

91
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: H It's so it's so crazy that somebody who went

92
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: from being my favorite comedian of time has become like

93
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: an actual like friend and mentor like he has given me.

94
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: He's given me so much good advice, not just stand

95
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: up wise, like business wise and everything.

96
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: He's trying to point me in the right direction.

97
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: He's somebody i'll call if I have any questions or

98
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: want any advice on, like how to navigate a certain

99
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 4: subject or how to navigate something in the public eye,

100
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 4: Like you know what should I I mean, it's helped

101
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: me up ultimately up to you. But like you know,

102
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: when you're coming to when you want somebody's avice, I'm like,

103
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: should I stand on something?

104
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: Do I give in? How long do you play the game?

105
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: How much do you be yourself? He's somebody who.

106
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 4: Sacrificed everything for what was important to him. Yeah, came

107
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 4: back and then still beat the game. So there's nobody's opinion.

108
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: I respect more. And that's what man. There's nothing I

109
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: love him like another comedian will give me shit, like

110
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 4: certain comedians won't like me or whatever.

111
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: It's like Dave Chappelle loves to watch my set, Like

112
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: I'll go do a set with him and he'll come

113
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: back with notes after me like I love this, I

114
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: love this.

115
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: I think maybe you should move this to the end,

116
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 4: move this up here, and I'm like, man, you actually

117
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 4: cared enough to watch. Wow, he's the nicest person ever met.

118
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: Man.

119
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: And to get the approval of somebody you respect so

120
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 4: much like that, that's what matters, man.

121
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: I think the thing that makes Chapelle so great is

122
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: that what they tried to take away from him he

123
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: didn't value. See, they can only counsel you if you

124
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: value something that takes you value.

125
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely, they tried to take Hollywood.

126
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: He didn't ever value that. And so he's like, Okay,

127
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: I'll go away, I'll do my own thing. He'll list

128
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: something you know, I'm gonna be here and it's sold

129
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: out in a minute.

130
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he doesn't care.

131
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: Man.

132
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: He took all the power.

133
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 4: He realized the power he has what you stand for,

134
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: and the power is in the love of your fans, man,

135
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: and nobody can take that from it.

136
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: And he can talk.

137
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 4: About anything right way, the way he can spend any

138
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 4: topic into a twenty minute rant that's just hilarious, can

139
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 4: be off the cover formed Oh my goodness, Yeah, man,

140
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 4: I could listen.

141
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: I don't.

142
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: I don't listen to a lot of podcasts, but I

143
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: could just put his.

144
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 4: Voice on for hours and just feel like I genuinely

145
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 4: learned a new perspective with.

146
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 3: His specialist on Netflix. If you just like, oh my goodness.

147
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 4: I watched Stixon's Stones three times in a row when

148
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 4: it came out, and I was on the East Coast

149
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 4: in North Carolina at the Charlotte Comedy Zone when it

150
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: came out, So it came out at three am East

151
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 4: Coast time.

152
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: I stayed up.

153
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 4: I watched it three times in a row. I felt

154
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: it's my favorite special of all time. I wrote like

155
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 4: twenty new minutes after that special. I was so inspired. Wow,

156
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 4: it's incredible. Man, He's the greatest of all time.

157
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: What do you think the biggest difference is in production,

158
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: let's say, from Black production when you dealing with why

159
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: the Wilding Out? Versus the NBC production Bring the Funny?

160
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: Do you notice the difference in how writers?

161
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: Right?

162
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: I would say it's just the limitations really because you're

163
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: on network TV.

164
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 4: Yeah right, I MTV. You can get get away with

165
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: a lot of saying. You can get away with saying

166
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 4: a lot because they bleep things. They do a lot

167
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: of edits, but network it's a lot of that has

168
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 4: to be under PG thirteen. And that was a weird

169
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 4: competition too, because it was like comedians versus like magicians

170
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: versus sketch comedy group versus like musical acts. Right, it

171
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 4: was kind of an incomparable competition, but it was again

172
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 4: great exposure. When that show had finished, I made it

173
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 4: to the semi finals for that one, and when that

174
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: had finished and the end of twenty nineteen, I was

175
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: like selling some really great tickets and comedy clubs. I

176
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 4: had some really exciting momentum in my career, and then

177
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: COVID happened and.

178
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 2: Shut all that shit down.

179
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: But I had a really fun experience on Bringing the

180
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 4: Funny because the night before the semi finals, that make

181
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: you submit your set like word for word, how are

182
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: you gonna say it?

183
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: To make sure network approves of it?

184
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: Wow?

185
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: And I had this set that I had submitted to

186
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: them twice before because it make submit some in advance

187
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 4: as well. And I had this bit that they I

188
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: don't even remember what it was, but they had approved

189
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 4: it twice. And then the night before I'm laying a

190
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 4: bed at my hotel at Universal Studios and they go, yeah,

191
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 4: you can't do that joke, and I was like, I've

192
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 4: already done all my material. I can kind of do

193
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 4: for this show, and they were like, I don't know

194
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 4: what to tell you. So I wrote a brand new

195
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: bit like the night before, having to do it on

196
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 4: like the network TV.

197
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it ended up being a really fun bit. I

198
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: really enjoyed it.

199
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 4: It didn't get me through the round, but I was

200
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: like very proud of myself that I could take that

201
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: kind of pressure and inconvenience and like turn nothing into something.

202
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: Had that joke been allowed, that joke you think you advanced?

203
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: Hard to remember the joke was at that point?

204
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: I bet.

205
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 4: I know I was confident for because I was saving

206
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 4: it for the finals of the semi finals. So I

207
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: mean possibly, But I believe Ali won the show.

208
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: Didn't he Good for him?

209
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: Man, good for him.

210
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: But that was interesting. It was it was a Jeff

211
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: fox Worthy, Christy Tiguan and Keenan Thompson.

212
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

213
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an interesting panel of judge.

214
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: You ended up TikTok.

215
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: Were you surprised that what happened with TikTok those million

216
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: of yous actually turned into like dyo.

217
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: Bro, Yeah, because I never wanted to do it. I

218
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: hate TikTok.

219
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 4: It's the most poisonous thing on earth right now when

220
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: it was about to get banned in America.

221
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 3: I was stoked.

222
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 4: I was so excited, man, because it's also it's unreliable,

223
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 4: Like I've built an audience stuff I think about like

224
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: twenty million followers, like nineteen point seven or some shit. So,

225
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I was getting to a point where I

226
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 4: was getting a million views an hour on there.

227
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: As soon as I posted a video. It was an

228
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: explosion of exposure on there.

229
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: And then little by little it started to go away

230
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 4: a little bit, a little bit, little bit, a little bit,

231
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 4: which I'm like, that's fine, You're only something new and

232
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 4: fancy for a little while. And then after about a

233
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 4: year and a half went by, they just completely dropped off.

234
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: I couldn't reach any of my followers for some reason.

235
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 4: So I started hitting up TikTok, like you know, they

236
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: can find you a representative that works over there and everything,

237
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 4: and they told me through my face on Zoom, they

238
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: were like, yeah, we just don't push stand up anymore.

239
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, so I have twenty million followers

240
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: who want to see what I'm posting and you won't

241
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: let them see it. And they're like, yeah, we just

242
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: we only pushed the trends that are current right now,

243
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 4: and they said stand up comedy was a trend on

244
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: our platform, but you kind of helped spearhead quite a bit.

245
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 4: But they were like, it went on for much longer

246
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: than it should have. Most trends only last like a

247
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: month or two, and uh yeah, now we just don't

248
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: push stand up as a platform. And they were like,

249
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 4: you know, good luck. And I was like, well, how

250
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 4: am I supposed to?

251
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: Like?

252
00:09:59,360 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: So what am I?

253
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: What do I do with the twenty million follows that

254
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: I guess? So I said, how am I supposed to

255
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: reach it?

256
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: What do you suggest?

257
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: They said, maybe just do the trends, like you know,

258
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: if there's a new dance people are doing or whatever

259
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: on Zoom. I said, I'll kill myself on TikTok Live

260
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 4: before I ever dance on TikTok.

261
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,239
Speaker 2: Are you crazy?

262
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 4: They didn't find it funny at all, but I was

263
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 4: also dead serious. I'm not gonna do that, man, Like,

264
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: my stand up is what got me this far, whether

265
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: it be the crowd work clips or material from the special,

266
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: whatever it may be. It's such a shame that I

267
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 4: can't advise other comedians to like build an audience on

268
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 4: social media because eventually they're gonna shift the algorithm.

269
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: You can't reach them anyway, exactly. It's so unfortunate.

270
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: They don't. They want to keep you in place. They're

271
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: not gonna let you get too big now, No, no,

272
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: let you get.

273
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: To They as much as it sounds like a conspiracy,

274
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 2: they have, they have a knob. They have a knob.

275
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 4: They can just turn somebody back on or a topic

276
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 4: or a hashtag, whatever it may be, and then that

277
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 4: no longer gets exposure anymore. I never I never wanted

278
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 4: to do it. I'm not I don't love social media.

279
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 4: I think it's incredibly toxic. It's not good for you

280
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 4: as a person, for sure, But it's such a tool

281
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: that we have to use.

282
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 2: Now.

283
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 4: Comedians don't just have to write jokes, right. You used

284
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 4: to just be like Man, write your five, Get on Carson,

285
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 4: get you a sitcom.

286
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: Now you're good.

287
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: You gotta be a whole social media manager. You gonna

288
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 4: be a production team. You got to learn how to

289
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 4: work a camera, you got to learn how to edit,

290
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 4: you gotta learn how to do sound. And it's not

291
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 4: even for something that can last. It's incredibly unfortunate.

292
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: Will you look, Matt, when you look at you went

293
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: from making ten, fifteen, twenty five to thirty. Now you

294
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: making millions? Did it seem like is this real? I'm

295
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: sure when you got that first big I'm talking about, big, big,

296
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: big check, you like, is this is real? Did ain't

297
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: somebody really just send me a check for this?

298
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: Man? This ain't made. I ain't no where I tell

299
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: you it wasn't.

300
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: It wasn't even the larger ones that caught me off guard.

301
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: I was doing Off the Hook comedy Club in Naples, Florida. Okay,

302
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 4: that was my first like real club headlining weekend. And

303
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: usually for a weekend, if you're doing not that many tickets,

304
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 4: your guarantee is like fifteen hundred dollars. Yeah, right, which

305
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 4: is fine, but that's also your hotel, your flight, everything's

306
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 4: included in that. The check was for like twelve thousand dollars,

307
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 4: and I genuinely went. I took the check back to

308
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 4: the manager and I was like, are you sure? And

309
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 4: he was like, yeah, man, he sold tickets like this

310
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 4: is this is what a headliner would get for this weekend.

311
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 2: And it blew my mind.

312
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: I never made that money doing any like one thing

313
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 4: in my entire life. It's been unbelievable. The money, the money, it.

314
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 2: It gives you a new freedom, you know what I mean.

315
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: You're so much of the world it's consumed by check

316
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,880

318
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,680

319
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: you don't get to enjoy what you really earn. So

320
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 4: now that creatively I can kind of afford to do

321
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: the things I want, it's it's I mean, a relief

322
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 4: is such an obvious word to say, but like it

323
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 4: allows me to focus on the other things that I

324
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 4: want to do, and I'm so grateful for that. To

325

Speaker 1: No, no, I just I mean, I met him five

330
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: minutes before you.

Speaker 4: Did, not even to do with the ponytail what they

332
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: seemed like lovely people. The best part about it is

333
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: getting to take care of your people.

334
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: Man.

335
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 4: The fact that they get to reap the rewards of

336
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 4: your hard work is so rewarding. I'm so grateful for that.

337
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: But if you think about it, Matt being a comedian

338
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: today because the social media aspect of it, and you

339
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: see a lot of these guys they start with skits,

340
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: and you see these guys blowing up.

341
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: Whereas before you had to grind.

342
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: You had to get into the clubs, you had to

343
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: be good, and if you weren't good, you're gonna fall

344
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: by the wayside. Now a guy can get he can

345
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: blow up on social media. Now once you go into

346
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: them club now you better be funny. Yeah, because doing

347
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: the skin is in funny. A skit funny is one thing.

348
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: Stand up funny is something entirely different.

349
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: One hundred percent.

350
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 4: I'll see people take the viral fame and going on

351
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 4: tour or whatever, and my first instinct is it's good

352
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: for you get your money, you know, I mean, do

353
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 4: what you gotta. People want to come see you live

354
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 4: by all means, but you gotta do it right the

355
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 4: first time. If you don't do it right the first time,

356
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 4: you want to come back and see you twice. And

357
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 4: that that's where that's where the power really lies. It's

358
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 4: just consistency, right, Like, especially when you're upgrading a venues,

359
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 4: going from comedy clubs. I got to get the same

360
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 4: people who saw me in a comedy club to come

361
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 4: see me at a theater. I get the same theater

362
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 4: audience and kind of want to come see me at

363
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: an arena.

364
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: Yep.

Speaker 4: comes back to being ready for it, right.

367
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: There's no shortcuts of this.

368
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 4: Had I not been doing comedy for twelve years before

369
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 4: all this happened, there's.

370
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: No way I could have handled it.

371
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: Wow.

372
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,080

373
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: fun is. Man.

Speaker 4: and when you're in the journey you like, this shit sucks?

376
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: Man. This is the worst road.

377
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: That you don't get an opportunity to appreciate it. You

378
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: really don't.

379
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: You really don't.

380
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 4: Man. I do kind of miss the days of like

00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: just showing up at the laugh actor or whatever and

382
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: being like, oh, man, I hope I'll get a chance

383
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: to go up now versus now I can walk in

384
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: and be like, do you want to?

385
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: But there's there's there's something to that. I don't know.

386
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 4: If it's the I don't know, if it's just the

387
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 4: humbling to it, I don't know. I don't know exactly

388
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 4: what it is, but there's just something to the unknown,

389
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 4: you know, it's it's not something to be over looked.

390
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned TikTok earlier America we purchased TikTok. Do

391
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: you believe TikTok would have been what it was had

392
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: it been American owned?

393
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 3: From the jump?

394
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: Ooh?

395
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't see a lot of Asians on there,

396
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 4: so it's always it's always kind of felt American to me.

397
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 4: I don't know it caters to.

398
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: Asians.

399
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: They created it, but they don't let their people get

400
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: on TikTok?

401
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: Is that really a thing?

402
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,120

00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 4: They created poison and they're like give it to the Americans.

406
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: Don't you drink it?

407
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 4: That's actually brutal. Okay, China, I see you, all right? Yeah,

408
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 4: I didn't even think about that. But I know certain

409
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: countries or certain countries, certain states are kind of cracking

410
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 4: down that I heard that Florida's cracking down, Like you

411
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: can't be on social media before you're sixteen. I think

412
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 4: that's imperative, man. I think it's not good for kids. Man,

413
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 4: it's not good for adults.

414
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: Well kind I think.

415
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: I think somebody with a social media but the parents

416
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: have to sign up for it that you will get

417
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: alert if your kids look for something suicidal, say something

418
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: about if more than if more than once, they'll get

419
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: an alert if you're signed up for it.

420
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 4: It's just the kind of content that they're consuming. It

421
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: opens them up to cyber bullying and all that. I mean,

422
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: haters live on the end.

423
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,560

00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 4: real world. No, that's what these kids got to realize.

426

475
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 4: No, he's he's invincible right now. And he's also helps it.

476
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: He's a genius.

477
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 3: Right.

478
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 4: You can respect what he's saying, you can disagree with

479
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 4: as much as you can, and you're welcome to do that.

480
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 4: But he's gonna well articulate whatever his perspective is on that.

481
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 4: And there's just nothing like a live show. You can't

482
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: capture the energy on camera. You can't think about how

483
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 4: amazing raw and delirious are yes now, think about how

484
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 4: amazing that would have been to see live.

485
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: You can't touch it.

486
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 4: No special, no matter how great your favorite special is,

487
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: it's nothing like what it was in the room.

488
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: No, it's it's so unfortunate.

489
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 4: Man.

490
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: Go see a live show.

491
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 4: If you have a favorite comedian, no matter who they are,

492
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 4: go see them in person.

493
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: Just additions is there, Like you said, you're thinking about

494
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 1: trend maybe doing a little bit more in the television

495
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: movie space as opposed to stand up.

496
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: Now, so how do you, how do you? How do

497
00:18:59,040 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 3: you transition?

498
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: Because now you're starting to blow up and you're like

499
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: you're really thinking about, like, you know what, I kind

500
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: of want to do a movie. I kind of want

501
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: to do sitcoms. I kind of want to do other

502
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: things and kind of transition away. Because Eddie was at

503
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: that peak, of course, and he said, you know what,

504
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: I really want to do movies. And you hear forty

505
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: eight hours and you hear coming to America and you

506
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: see all these things that happened. You really really like,

507
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: you know what. I know I'm at the apex, but

508
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: you know what, I kind of want to transition.

509
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 4: I think it's just wherever your passion lies. Right, Like

510
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 4: I've always loved acting as much as I've liked stand up,

511
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 4: I just haven't been doing it for as long as

512
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 4: I haven't been able to. I guess get my foot

513
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 4: in the door the same way as I have in

514
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 4: the stand up. Granted we talked about earlier. It's a

515
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 4: different game, right. It takes a bunch of different people's

516
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: approval rather than just winning over your fans, right, your

517
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: fans can't vote you into being into a movie unfortunately.

518
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 4: So it's something I'm really really excited about for sure.

519
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 4: But it's a different craft, man. I spent six months

520
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 4: living in Vancouver at the end of the last year

521
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 4: of filming The Altrus for Netflix is a Julia Garner show,

522
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 4: and that was my first real experience being part of

523
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: this gigantic month a month long production and just getting

524
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 4: to really like study these other performers. Like I've been

525
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 4: around comedians my entire life since fifteen years old, I've

526
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 4: been around forty fifty sixty year old comedians and watch

527
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 4: the way they craft their art. Acting is a different

528
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 4: beast man. I have such a respect for it, and

529
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 4: it's it's something it's new and exciting for me. Right,

530
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 4: I've been doing stand up for so long. Acting is

531
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 4: something that it tests a new muscle in me. It's

532
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: it's learning a whole new craft. There's something exciting about

533
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 4: being brand new at something again.

534
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 3: YEA, yeah, Well so you like that, Yeah.

535
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 4: Absolutely, man, I would try most things for the first time.

536
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's really exciting. It's so

537
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 4: rewarding as well. Man, when you you know you get

538
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: the respect of somebody you've really really looked up to,

539
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 4: like a Julia Gardner Anthony Boyle, who are leading this show.

540
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 4: Getting to learn to study from two of the best

541
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 4: in the business right now, it's an amazing opportunity.

542
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 3: Man. How you getting that brother caught up at your show?

543
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 4: Man?

544
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 3: Which one you know, the black guy that got caught

545
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: with the side hit.

Speaker 4: Oh man in the Pittsburgh Yeah, Terry, Oh, Terry, of course, man, Terry.

00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,560

Speaker 3: You hope he al right? You know he not alright?

550
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 2: Woman, don't bring your sidehick to the show.

551
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 4: You can't put the light on it. Don't laugh so black.

552
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 4: I don't know what to tell you. He was bringing

553
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 4: so much attention to himself. I didn't want it to

554
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 4: be about him. He drove all the attention to himself.

555
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: All I wanted to know is are you with your lady?

556
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 4: And he snitched on himself so fast, And then at

557
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 4: another show the lady came back and was like, no,

Speaker 4: I know his real girl. It was crazy, man, he

559
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 4: did that to himself. People get themselves caught up, man, people.

00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 4: I was cold playing people long before Ye like.

Speaker 1: there wrong in the wild.

564
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it happens, man, people, But I hate to

565
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: say those those are the people that make the best content.

566
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 4: Right, Like, you come to a show and you the

567
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,200

00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 4: want to talk to.

570
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: It's the least assuming person.

571
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, they show who you don't talk to me.

572
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,640

Speaker 2: comedy show. Jokes for everybody.

583
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 4: Man, I don't believe the idea of punching up and

584
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 4: punching down is so stupid.

585
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: What are you punching? It's jokes.

586
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: Yes, we're all We're all equal.

Speaker 4: of anybody below me. So I can't do jokes about

597
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: Well, you can't say, well you Theoretically you're not supposed

598
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: to say disabled or handicap.

599
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: Your supposed to say limited mobility. I'm just saying. I'm

600
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: just saying I don't want to get my show.

Speaker 1: Man, I'm saying, hey, I'm not giving it up, mobility,

604
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: mobility restricted.

605
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 4: Until somebody with cerebral palsy corrects me to my face,

606
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 4: I can't.

607
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: I can't give it up. I'm sorry.

608
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 4: Mobility restricted. Yeah, you heard that before. If that is

609
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 4: the correct term, I'm not changing it. How many times

610
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 4: are we going to change the restrictions on jokes man,

611
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 4: and the terms you're supposed to use. Then they change

612
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 4: homeless recently to like the unhoused or something that sounds

613
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 4: way worse.

614
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 3: Yes, don't.

615
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 4: You can't cater to everybody's feelings man. And also, jokes

616
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 4: are for everybody. It's for the people at the comedy

617
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 4: show or if you come. I would hope you know

618
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 4: what to expect. There's nothing that's off limits. Everybody is

619
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 4: the same. I don't do this whole victimization of you

620
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 4: can't talk about this person or whatever they're going through

621
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 4: because because you've never experienced yourself. That's why I have

622
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: a comedic perspective on it, right, because I don't know

623
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 4: about it. Sometimes ignorance can be comedic as long as

624
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 4: it's coming from a good place.

625
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 3: Right.

626
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 4: How often you think people get treated different, especially people

627
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 4: who are mobility mobilely limited. People walk by them, they

628
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: don't say hello, they don't look in the eyes, they

629
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 4: don't ask them, they they're afraid to talk to them

630
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 4: or anything like that. This is the one place where

631
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 4: they get to be treated like a normal person. And

632
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 4: I take a lot of pride in that.

633
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: Before you did your net first Netflix special, did people

Speaker 4: It's my absolute fac to laugh at the most thing

638
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 4: is the beautiful art of irony, right, Like, you know

639
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 4: what the correct thing is to say, so saying the

640
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 4: complete office is that is what makes it funny.

641
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: And if that's not for you, that's fine to like it.

642
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: Change the channel, right, You've.

643
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 4: Got to ruin somebody's life over it. It's so frustrating

644
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 4: to me, man, I love it if you can't laugh

645
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 4: at the darkship And it's like, how are you gonna

646
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:09,520

647
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 3: Because they're the.

648
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: Fine line that you have to walk mat because you

649
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: won't sponsorships, you want endorsements, you want brands, and those

650
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: brands sometimes succumb to people like you if you don't.

651
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: If you have him endorsing your product and he said

652
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: this about this, this and this, we won't and then

653
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: they start an online petition and they start boycott, and

654
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: they start this and that, and the networks and the

655
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: advertiser and the brands become like, you know what is

656
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: just not worth the hassle, And unfortunately.

657
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 4: You are You're speaking one hundred percent facts, But all

658
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 4: that comes to the price of being yourself.

659
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 3: Right.

660
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 4: That's what I think people mean when they say like, oh,

661
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 4: somebody's sold out. It's like, Okay, you sacrifice being truly yourself,

662
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 4: which for me is what got.

663
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: Me to where I'm at now.

664
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 4: My sense of humor and joking about the things that

665
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 4: I like to joke about, whether it be dark or not,

666
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 4: got me to where I'm at now. So if I

667
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,200

Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

693
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: When you started receiving all this backlash, did you become depressed?

694
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: You're like, the man, what am I doing? Can I

695
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: can I just do this and make a lot of people.

696
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: I can make a lot of money, make some people happy.

697
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: But the person that's gonna be most depressed and most

698
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: sad is me because at the end of the day,

699
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm the one that lives with this person. I'll see

700
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: all these thoughts. I walk by the mirror all the time.

701
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 4: No, bro, when all of that stuff started to happen,

702
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 4: when I first started to become controversial, which is crazy,

703
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 4: you think I'm controversially weak as fuck. To me, it

704
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 4: was more like, oh wow, I didn't know this is

705
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 4: how a part of the world is really because I

706
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 4: know who I am, I know my intentions with jokes.

707
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 4: No matter the subject I'm joking about, my only intention

708
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 4: is to make you laugh because it's something that makes

709
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 4: me laugh. It means nothing more than that. I'm not

710
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 4: trying to push an agenda. I'm not trying to hurt

711
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 4: anybody's feelings. So when I saw that people would try

712
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 4: to derail somebody's entire life because of the subject matter

713
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 4: of a joke at a comedy show, it was more

714
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 4: eye opening that I was like, Wow, people, there's really

715
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 4: people out there who will try to take everything from

716
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 4: you just because they don't like something that you did.

717
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 4: So it didn't make me feel any type of way

718
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 4: about myself. It more just maybe put more work. I

719
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 4: was like, oh, wow, I gotta be I gotta be

720
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 4: more careful about how I navigate my next career move, right, Cause,

721
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 4: like you said, like brand deals or certain networks cannot

722
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 4: want to work with you because they don't They just

723
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 4: don't want to deal with the backlash. Right, It's not

724
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 4: that they even feel the same way about your jokes.

725
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 4: They can be like I thought it was hilarious, Yes,

726
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 4: we don't feel like dealing with the combat section, right,

727
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 4: but for me, I was more just.

728
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: I was disappointed in society. I was like, Wow, those

729
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: people are really out there trying to take everything. I've

730
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: worked so hard for this.

731
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 4: I've done nothing but try to do good things. I'm

732
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 4: nice to everybody. I try to do as many good

733
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 4: deeds as possible. I try to extend the blessings I've

734
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 4: had to the people I love and give the charities

735
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 4: and all this. But they'll still try to take that

736
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 4: from me for doing nothing wrong. Right, Yeah, So it

737
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 4: didn't really. It didn't affect me on a personal level.

738
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: I was just it was more eye opening as well.

739

Speaker 4: to see the big city, I'll see it a couple months.

786
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 4: I wanted somewhere that, like, when I'm not working, I

787
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 4: can just be at peace. And this house is the

788
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 4: first place I've ever in thirty years woken up happy

789
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 4: every day, open the window, just the fields are green,

790
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 4: the trees are green. Everything is so peaceful and quiet.

791
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 4: People leave me alone. The community is really really nice.

792
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 4: They've been so good to me. We do a lot

793
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 4: of local shows. It's it's the perfect place for me

794
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 4: right now.

795
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean road us like this is everything. Could you

796
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: imagine when you were a kid that you know what

797
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: if somebody would have told you, if they'd ask you

798
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: at say fifteen, Matt, where are you going to live?

799
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 3: What was you are? Total?

800
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: Oh man? Probably dating with four kids. That's about it.

801
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 4: Man, Nobody leaves this place right fifteen. The dream was

802
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 4: like maybe I could stay in Ohio. And the ultimate

803
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 4: dream when I was starting out stand up was just

804
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,959
Speaker 4: because all I ever saw was comedy clubs. So I

805
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 4: was like, if I could just sell out comedy clubs

806
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 4: for the rest of my life. That's that's the opinion

807
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 4: of I'm not going to be Dave Chappelle, dang Cook,

808
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do arenas. I don't

809
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 4: have to do that if I make it cool. So

810
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 4: to be able to do what I'm doing now is

811
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 4: so far past what I thought I would get to do.

812
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 2: It's it's the most amazing feeling, man. And I don't know.

813
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: I don't know why it happened. I don't know how

814
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: it happened.

815
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 4: It, you know, the timing of it all happening around

816
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 4: my grand Paul was so interesting, and I prayed on

817
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 4: it a lot, and it really felt like it felt

818
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 4: like yin and yang, right, like the good with the bad.

819
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 4: It almost felt like I had to lose something so

820
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 4: important to me to gain something I couldn't. I couldn't

821
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 4: have it all, right, So you just kind of adapt

822
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,239
Speaker 4: to whatever God gives you and be grateful, and you know,

823
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 4: see what he has in store next.

824
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: If you could go back and do anything different, let's

825
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: go back at like twenty eighteen. Okay, if you could

826
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: do anything, you give yourself some advice, would you do

827
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: anything different? What advice would you give yourself that would

828
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: be different?

829
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 2: Probably would have dropped these dick pics a little bit earlier.

830
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 4: Probably would I probably could have been not living paycheck

831
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 4: to paycheck in twenty eighteen. Probably wouldn't have had to

832
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 4: do Bring the Funny if I would to hop on

833
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: one OnlyFans as an original content creator. But in comedy,

834
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 4: there's not a lot I could have done differently because

835
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 4: that was That was around the same time I started

836
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 4: to think about putting stuff online. I didn't commit to

837
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 4: it yet, but I took the necessary steps. I was

838
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 4: touring a little bit, I was getting ready for Bring

839
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 4: the Funny. I was really I was really dedicated to

840
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 4: like developing my my set in twenty eighteen, So there's

841
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 4: not a lot differently I could have done. I did

842
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 4: as much stand up as I could. I worked on

843
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 4: my set as much as I could. I tried to

844
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 4: develop an audience as much as I could. Yeah, man,

845
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 4: maybe just would have started on social media when people

846
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 4: started to talk about TikTok.

847
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, before it grew up over COVID, probably would have,

848
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 2: but I was.

849
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 4: It's just something that it didn't interest me. It's just

850
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 4: like having a podcast, right like, you got to have

851
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 4: passion for it. Can't half ask the work man. This

852
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 4: is a full time job, whether people realize it or not.

853
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 4: And at that time I just didn't have I didn't

854
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 4: have the commitment for that.

855
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 2: So maybe I would have changed.

856
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 3: You still run your social media pages?

857
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 2: I do.

858
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 4: I do for a little bit longer, not for too

859
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 4: much longer, but I do for now. I just don't

860
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 4: trust anybody. But still I still edit all my own

861
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 4: videos as well. I do all I do, all the

862
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 4: comedic cuts for it and everything like that. I have

863
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 4: my my videographer does the captioning and the angle switches right.

864
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: But I mean, comedy is.

865
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 4: About timing, right, Like if you leave too much dead

866
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 4: air in a space, that joke might let might not

867
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 4: land the same.

868
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 2: So I just don't trust anybody else to do it

869
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 2: right now.

870
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 3: Is there a joke that you won't tell? Is there

871
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: anything that you won't say?

872
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: No, man, there's nothing I wouldn't say.

873
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 4: Get crazy given the right context, given the right, setup,

874
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 4: it's great. Is there anything you feel like a comedian

875
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 4: I shouldn't say.

876
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I go back, Matt, to be honest, I

877
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 3: go back and forth. For me.

878
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: I look at it like this, if somebody tells me

879
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: something is offensive, and all I need is one person

880
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: from that group to say that bothers me.

881
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm cool.

882
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 2: Interesting one person.

883
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: I had a buddy of mine when I worked at CBS.

884
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: He was on Camera three. His name was Freshimizu. I

885
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: used to call it Ichi Roll Ichi Row in Japanese

886
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: means first born. Okay, but he wasn't the firstborn. His

887
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: sister was. Because Eachie Roll Suzuki the baseball player for US,

888
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: So that's what I call him.

889
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 3: He was Japanese each Ye Roll, and he loved he

890
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 3: loved each You Ropy, You can't.

891
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 2: You can't just slick around and call somebody the first

892
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 2: and nickname that you know.

893
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: No, it's so, but don't worry about it. He's like,

894
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: I could you could be Edy, I meaning you could

895
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: be Johnny Maths. So we went back and forth. But

896
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: his sister, which was the oldest, was firstborn.

897
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: Huh.

898
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: And she passed and he came to me and he

899
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: said he said, Shannon, I really appreciate it. My sister

900
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: was first born. Is that you're not calling me Eachi

901
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: Row anymore? I said, Okay, bro Fred, how you doing.

902
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: Ah, that's tough.

903
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: So if somebody in the group says that that's offensive

904
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: to me, I won't say it anymore.

905
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 3: But I'm not a comedian either though.

906
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 2: So thank you for clarifying the context. Right.

907
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 4: It's like it's having a job. You go tackle somebody,

908
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 4: go boy, he's a football player. If I go tackle

909
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 4: somebody that's assaults.

910
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: It comes with the context of the job. Median is

911
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 2: a clown.

912
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 4: The only thing we're supposed to do up there is

913
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 4: make you laugh, right, and if we can, if we

914
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 4: can push a perspective like Chappelle is so good, Yes,

915
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 4: by all meanings do that in a in a humorous way.

916
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 4: But other than that, we don't mean anything we say.

917
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

918
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 4: If I were to call somebody each year Row in

919
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 4: the audience and he was like, actually my sister passed away,

920
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 4: I'd be like, thanks for bringing down.

921
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: The man, you know what I mean? Like, you don't

922
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 2: got to think it's the funniest thing, but don't don't

923
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: ruin it. For everybody.

924
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 4: I'm just messing with you. I'm not trying to make

925
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 4: anything personal. I think it all comes back to context.

926
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 3: Man.

927
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 4: People forget what a comedian is. They think they think

928
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 4: I work at Costco. I'm just out here saying wild

929
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 4: ship Like. No, it's just it's just the job. I'm

930
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 4: just playing.

931
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: You do have a large female audience, A woman women's audience.

932
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I'm not supposed to say female

933
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: women's audience.

934
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 2: You female?

935
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 3: No, No, that's right.

936
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: So you have a large fan base women, Yes, that

937
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: are women. What's some of the wildest things do they do?

938
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: Stuff like that? Like at a concert, like if you

939
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: were a singer, they be throwing stuff on the stage.

940
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: You mentioned like you you mentioned the guy that Matt

941
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: Riff is my hall past and the husband or boyfriend

942
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: is sitting right there.

943
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 3: Do you like? Do you ever like I can't believe

944
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 3: this is my life now?

945
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: Oh? All the time?

946
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 4: People people will flash at the show from time to

947
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 4: time on stage, Yeah, a girl. People bring gifts all

948
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 4: the time. A lady brought me a jar full of

949
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 4: her hair. I don't know what part of her it

950
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 4: came from, just a jar of hair and a photo

951
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 4: album of her and her family, absolutely insane. The first

952
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 4: meet and greet I ever did lady bit my nipple.

953
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 4: I give everybody a hug obviously, and she was about

954
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 4: nipple height, latched right on Drew Blt. I had to

955
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 4: like peel her off of me.

956
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, people people had probably probably she was from Oregon,

957
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: so it might not even have been a liquid.

958
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 4: But uh, people do weird stuff all the time. But again,

959
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 4: I'll take I'll take the passion right. I would rather

960
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 4: have super highs and super lows than just kind of

961
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 4: you know, intermediate the entire.

962
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 3: So so basically right now, you're the Drake of the

963
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

964
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: That's a great comparison. All my fans are over age.

965
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 4: There you go, that's not that's not a dig, by

966
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 4: the way, It's not that I was. I was team

967
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 4: Drake over the beef. I'm gonna go on record right now.

968
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 4: I mean, Drake's a great comparison.

969
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: Drake. If you're watching this, I play Toronto this year.

970
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 2: If you want to come.

971
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 3: Out, When are you in Atlanta? When are you in Vegas?

972
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 2: Atlanta? Never Atta? This is gonna give me even more trouble.

973
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 2: But you're a real piece of work for doing this

974
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 2: three PM cheers.

975
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 3: I thought we was gonna sip.

976
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 2: I thought we were gonna shoot.

977
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: No, you're not, man, We're not supposed to shoot. I

978
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: mean we're like, hey, we're man. Look where we are.

979
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: We got booked.

980
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 3: We got booked.

981
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 2: You know, Cat Williams read all these books. I thought

982
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: it was so little.

983
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 3: No, I mean there's a conversation, conversation gone. This is

984
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 3: when I come to roll out. I'm like, hey, man,

985
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 3: how you doing?

986
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: Oh?

987
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 3: Miche well, I promise I love what you've done with

988
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 3: the police.

989
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got me in your study right now.

990
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 4: All right, oops, well you're gonna have me Orlando Brown

991
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 4: in here doing this is not to be wild, not more.

992
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 3: No, this is a conversation piece.

993
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, what was the question again?

994
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry the women fans.

995
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: Female fans. Yeah, we talked about it earlier.

996
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 4: Just that it's it's the most passionate and also it's

997
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 4: it's not an easy fan base to get. Not a

998
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 4: lot of comedians have a large female fan base, and

999
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 4: I take a lot of pride in that. Yeah, Like

1000
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 4: I said, I want my comedy to be for as

1001
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 4: many people as possible.

1002
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 3: If you're for you for it.

1003
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: Well, that's also it's so frustrating.

1004
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 4: That's another thing I got that got misconstrued over my

1005
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 4: very first special. TMC caught me outside of my hotel

1006
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 4: one time and it was just a question I wasn't

1007
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 4: really expecting, but they were like, uh, you know what,

1008
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 4: what can people kind of expect audience wise from from

1009
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 4: your next upcoming special. And I used the verbiage, Uh,

1010
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 4: this one's gonna be a lot more for the guys.

1011
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 4: And when the controvert over that stupid joke had come out,

1012
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 4: they thought that's what I meant.

1013
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: They thought.

1014
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 4: Me doing a joke that was implicative of domestic violence, which,

1015
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 4: by the way, every comedian has done. I'm not the

1016
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 4: first one that's the only one being punished for it.

1017
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 4: For some reason, they thought that's what I meant. I

1018
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 4: was talking about the fifteen minutes of come in the

1019
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 4: middle of the special.

1020
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 2: There was like a twenty minute section in the middle

1021
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: of this special that.

1022
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 4: Was purely about like learning to jerk off as a

1023
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 4: kid that only guys were gonna be able to relate to.

1024
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 2: That's what I meant.

1025
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 4: But instead they took that as like, oh, this this

1026
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 4: special was intended to like eliminate his female audience.

1027
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: No, that's insane.

1028
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 4: If anything, it was just supposed to find something relatable

1029
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 4: to some guys that maybe some girls wouldn't get a

1030
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 4: certain portion of the special.

1031
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: Hopefully they did, Hopefully they found it entertaining.

1032
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 4: But the women are the ones that pushed the excitement

1033
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 4: of your content, like they share it the most. They're

1034
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 4: the most passionate. They're there for you. They genuinely care

1035
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 4: about you. Yes, something happens to you, you're sick.

1036
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: You guy fans don't get No, the women are therese

1037
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 2: are so motherly about it. I hope you get well soon.

1038
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 4: They're they're they're the best audience you could possibly ask for.

1039
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 4: I hate that so many of them felt that I

1040
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 4: was trying to turn my back on round.

1041
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 3: Is that?

1042
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: Is that the situation where you had the barstool and

1043
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: you said I'm done with barstool because you know, they

1044
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: they had the interview where you know, and it kind

1045
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: of kind of pitch you against the women your fans.

1046
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt like that was super unfair.

1047
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 4: Granted, I mean I probably could have answered the questions better,

1048
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 4: but I'm not media training. I remember my publicist asking

1049
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 4: me when all this happened, Like, do you want to

1050
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 4: go to like media training to learn how to answer questions?

1051
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 2: I was like, you mean be a robot? That's so inhuman.

1052
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 4: I just didn't know there's ways to answer questions that.

1053
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 2: Are a little more vague and are.

1054
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 4: Less often to be misconstrued. So I answered some of

1055
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 4: those questions maybe the way that I shouldn't have. But

1056
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 4: also that's what barstool does. Like they they want to

1057
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 4: get you. They want to they want to you get clicks.

1058
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 4: I like, I felt like that was super unfortunate because

1059
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 4: I was really excited to meet them, felt like they

1060
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 4: were doing a good thing at the time. Yes, and

1061
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 4: and I wish I wish that had gone better.

1062
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: Right stage, we saw Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl. Somebody

1063
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: ran up on stage at that show. I was not

1064
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: at that show.

1065
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 3: Okay, were you there? No?

1066
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, not have anybody ever tried to run up on

1067
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 2: stage on you. It happened in Chicago. Actually, damn yeah,

1068
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 2: run a stage on you. It was so weird, Like

1069
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 2: up all for the amount of people who don't like me,

1070
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: I expected it at some point in my life. This

1071
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 2: guy was so positive.

1072
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 4: It was just a drunk guy, like he just he

1073
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 4: hopped up on stage real quick and was running towards me.

1074
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 4: And he came from where my videographer is usually set up, right,

1075
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 4: so I thought, for some reason, sometimes my videographer has

1076
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 4: to hop on stage. It was at the Chicago Theater,

1077
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 4: so sometimes he has to hop on stage and like

1078
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 4: sneak by the curtain replace a battery or whatever. So

1079
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 4: I didn't think too much of it. I thought it

1080
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 4: was him getting up and then I see him running

1081
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 4: towards me. And by the time I noticed it, he

1082
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 4: was like two feet away and there was nothing threatening

1083
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,720
Speaker 4: about it. He was just like he was so happy

1084
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 4: and so he was like trying to like get a

1085
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 4: hug that I just kind of like got a stiff

1086
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 4: arm away from him. My security like snatched him off

1087
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 4: pretty much immediately.

1088
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 2: I didn't really think.

1089
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,479
Speaker 4: Anything like that was ever gonna happen, But ever since

1090
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 4: that did, I'm like so ready to swing, like it

1091
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: could be it could.

1092
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 3: Be anybody you want to get one, you want to

1093
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 3: get one off of.

1094
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: It could be anybody at this point, and I'm swinging immediately.

1095
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: Like Matt right fired on somebody.

1096
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 4: Well I'm not I'm not taking in facial expressions. I

1097
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 4: don't care about your tone.

1098
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 2: I'm swinging immediately because a lot of people were like, oh,

1099
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 2: he didn't even defend himself.

1100
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 4: Like, first of all, the guy wasn't really a threat,

1101
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 4: and second I never thought that would happen. Now that

1102
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 4: I know it's even maybe possible, we have more security. Right,

1103
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 4: I didn't roll up with any today because we're in Georgetown.

1104
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 4: Probably okay, but yeah, now now I'm a lot more

1105
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 4: prepared for it.

1106
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 2: Sometimes I'll hear something happen.

1107
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 4: They were in the round that I can hear something

1108
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 4: happened behind me, and every now and you'll see me

1109
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 4: just like, grip my fist for a second.

1110
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: You just one time Street Craig go way up.

1111
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 2: You think, what if you found somebody I like my adds.

1112
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 3: Say you're gonna get one off in the security tackling.

1113
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, that's that's the best part about We wanna

1114
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 4: fight for four seconds before it gets broken up.

1115
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get one in.

1116
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: I know you're you're close to Jave Chappelle and he

1117
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: says he's given you great advice. He's seen some of

1118
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: your sets. He take notes, tells you things that you

1119
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: can improve on. Things that you're really great at. So,

1120
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: I mean, are you surprised that Dave Chappelle, who's at

1121
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: the APEX, say, you know what, he thinks enough of

1122
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: matt riche to give him advice to help him even

1123
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: go to a higher level.

1124
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 4: It's something that's it's hard to fathom man like I would,

1125
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 4: I would consider him a genuine friend, And there's still

1126
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 4: that air of like every time I see him, I'm like.

1127
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, like that's that's the fun, that's the best

1128
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 2: to ever do. Yeah, I want to do.

1129
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 4: But he's been so kind and my family and my friends.

1130
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 4: Every time he sees me and any of my crew,

1131
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 4: he knows all their names. He always says hello, asks

1132
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 4: how their families are doing. He's so invested and caring

1133
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 4: about other people, and it's it's something I never would

1134
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 4: have expected, obviously, But the amount of shows we've gotten

1135
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 4: to do together. I mean, the first arena I ever

1136
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 4: did was I got a chance to open for him

1137
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 4: at Madison Square Garden for his fiftieth birthday party, and

1138
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 4: I'd never performed in an arena at that point in

1139
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 4: my life. So he's given me so many opportunities. He

1140
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 4: gave me an opportunity to work out his brand new club,

1141
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 4: the Firehouse and Yellow Springs yep, and he hosts that

1142
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 4: show and then I headlined them, and then he came

1143
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 4: back on stage with me afterwards we riffed for like

1144
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 4: half an hour. One of the coolest moments of my

1145
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 4: entire life. He's the only person that has the footage.

1146
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if it'll ever see the light of day,

1147
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 4: but probably not. One of the coolest moments of my

1148
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 4: entire life.

1149
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 3: You said you want to save you seven hundred and

1150
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 3: fifty K. How did you do that?

1151
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 2: Well, well, you saw that. Yeah.

1152
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 4: We were talking about the money I had made from

1153
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 4: Live Nation for a guarantee for the first part of

1154
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 4: a tour, and it was more money I had ever

1155
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 4: even heard of in my entire life. And he was

1156
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 4: asking if I had a good team, even a good

1157
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 4: lawyer and everything, and he was like, is your lawyer

1158
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 4: is he five percent? Or is he is he hourly?

1159
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 4: And I was like, he's five percent like most lawyers.

1160
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 4: He was like, Nah, I got a guy here who

1161
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 4: will do it hourly, who does all my ship for me.

1162
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 4: So in doing so, saved me like close to a

1163
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 4: million dollars. Yeah, which that's not my long term lawyer. Unfortunately,

1164
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 4: most lawyers won't work for that, right, Like, don't search

1165
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 4: out an hourly lawyer for everything that you do. Oftentimes

1166
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 4: you'll get what you pay for. Right, But if day

1167
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 4: Chappelle vouch is for him, I'm I'm gonna trust him.

1168
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 4: It's it's a lot of weird, uh indiscrepancies in the

1169
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 4: budgeting of your of your team.

1170
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 3: Right.

1171
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 4: It's like agents get ten percent, your manager get ten percent,

1172
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 4: your lawyer gets five percent, you're a business manager gets

1173
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 4: five percent. So when you hear somebody makes like a

1174
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 4: million dollars, you don't get a million dollars.

1175
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 2: You get maybe by two fifty something like that.

1176
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: Say get his is then everybody cook cook cook cook

1177
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:50,959
Speaker 1: cook cook, cook cooking.

1178
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 4: It's not what you think, which breaks your heart. Man,

1179
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 4: You see the check you get and you're like what

1180
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 4: and they got out of a million?

1181
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 3: It's all I gotten.

1182
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 2: But you try not to be ungrateful, Right, You're like, listen,

1183
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 2: it's still it's still more than It's more than I

1184
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: ever thought i'd make in.

1185
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 4: My life that I'm making for a weekend. Right, but

1186
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 4: it is weird having to break it up into so

1187
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 4: many different pieces.

1188
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: You realize now as you've gotten to this this level here,

1189
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: everything that you say they dissected. So if you say

1190
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: something about this comedia, may you hear what Matt Raife says.

1191
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: If you say something about this person, you heard what

1192
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: Matt Raife said. Do you find yourself have to be

1193
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: overly cautious, overly guarded about things you say, knowing that

1194
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: everything that you say is going to be dissected.

1195
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 4: Oh of course, man, You don't think my publicist is like,

1196
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 4: be careful on's podcast, Be cared for what you say.

1197
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 2: Everything lives forever now. Yeah, people definitely.

1198
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 4: I feel like people definitely look to misconstrue what you

1199
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 4: say now, and obviously anything negative spreads, that spreads faster

1200
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 4: than anything positive.

1201
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But I.

1202
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 4: Mean it helps that I don't I don't have anything

1203
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 4: negative to say about anybody really, maybe a couple of

1204
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 4: people in my personal life. But it's like, but honestly,

1205
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 4: those people don't deserve the press that I would give

1206
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 4: them by talking about that. But as far as like

1207
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 4: my peers and comedians and everything, I don't. I don't

1208
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 4: have anything negative to say about anybody's There's eight billion

1209
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 4: people in the world. Yeah, if I have a few

1210
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 4: million fans and for some reason that that pisces you off,

1211
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,959
Speaker 4: that I get to be successful and find my fan base,

1212
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 4: there's seven and a half billion other people you're about

1213
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 4: to really make a fan of for yourself. I wish

1214
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 4: the best for everybody, man. I don't have a single

1215
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 4: bad thing to say about literally anybody.

1216
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 3: But how did it make you? How did it make

1217
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 3: you feel?

1218
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: Because a lot of times, like I said, you the

1219
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: level of success that you've enjoyed, there are a lot

1220
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: of older comedians that have been at this a lot

1221
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: longer than you have that haven't been able to enjoy

1222
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: that level of success. And because and for whatever reason,

1223
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: that's not your fault that they haven't enjoyed the level

1224
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: of success that you have. But when they say, like, bro,

1225
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a fan of yours and I've had

1226
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: I been in the situation, I would never say anything

1227
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: negative about you.

1228
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it definitely happens. But I'm not in their shoes,

1229
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 4: you know. I mean, I don't know the decisions that

1230
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 4: they made. I don't know the decisions that they didn't

1231
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 4: to get where they're at right now, but I know

1232
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 4: a lot of them refuse to adapt. Like we talk

1233
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 4: about social media a lot, it's that's what changed my life.

1234
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 3: You've got to be able to do it now.

1235
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 4: I grew up starting stand up with those comedians, right,

1236
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 4: the ones who are they're living off of doing morning

1237
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 4: radio in the city. They're performative of that night, right,

1238
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 4: Like social media is not an important thing to that

1239
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 4: generation when I started out, So for me, it's something

1240
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 4: for my generation.

1241
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty and under. Social media is their whole.

1242
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 3: Life, it is.

1243
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 4: I should love it, I should embrace it. It's just

1244
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 4: not really what I grew up on. It's not what

1245
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 4: I really respect, it's not what I have a passion for.

1246
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 4: But a lot of these comedians just won't adapt. They

1247
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 4: won't do the clips, they won't do the social media marketing.

1248
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 4: They won't they won't brand themselves on social media and

1249
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 4: try to really grasp the fan base. So again, I

1250
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 4: don't know the decisions they made or didn't make to

1251
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 4: get where they're at. But I understand it. I mean,

1252
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 4: I've I've been bitter, I've been jealous. I used to

1253
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 4: be a hater, for sure, That's why I understand it.

1254
00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 4: Now there's be comics I would hate on for sure.

1255
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 3: And then when I I don't know how, he thought, Oh,

1256
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 3: of course.

1257
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 2: It happens for everybody. It happens for literally everybody.

1258
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 4: If you say you've never been jealous of somebody, you're

1259
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 4: a flyer, and that makes you very insecure for not

1260
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 4: admitting it.

1261
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 2: It happened.

1262
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 4: You can Envy affects everybody at some point in their life.

1263
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 4: But then when I got where I'm at now and

1264
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 4: started to see what comes with it, I had such

1265
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,479
Speaker 4: an understanding. I went, Wow, I know what it takes

1266
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 4: to get there, and I know what you deal with

1267
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 4: because you're in the spot right now.

1268
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: Gave me such a respect for it. Now, I wish

1269
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 2: the best for everybody.

1270
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: Right, But these comedy beefs, did you when you got

1271
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,800
Speaker 1: into comedy you know anything about comedy beefs?

1272
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 2: No, it's so weird, it's so high school. Why do

1273
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 2: you care? Oh, I'm funnier and so and so.

1274
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 3: Okay, are are.

1275
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 2: They more successful than you?

1276
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 3: Then?

1277
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 4: Statistically, I guess not go prove it. Numbers are the

1278
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 4: only thing that matter, right. Unfortunately, statistically it's the only

1279
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 4: thing you can say. Opinions are going to vary, and

1280
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 4: it's not something you can prove there's so many funnier comedians,

1281
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 4: in my personal opinion than I am, that have significantly

1282
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,959
Speaker 4: less followers, sell less tickets, so much more that goes

1283
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 4: into that.

1284
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 2: The beef aspect makes no sense. Why does it affect you?

1285
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 4: What is hating on this person going to do for

1286
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 4: your career? If anything, you look you kind of look

1287
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 4: weak for trying to tear somebody down. You should be

1288
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 4: lifting each other. Go on tour together.

1289
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 2: If both of y'all are selling out clubs together and

1290
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 2: there's a weird beef there, how about y'all combining the

1291
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 2: fan base and I'll go do a bigger You do.

1292
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: Five thousand, he dos five thousand, So guess what Now

1293
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: that's a ten thousand.

1294
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 2: Now you can go do an arena together. It makes

1295
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 2: no sense.

1296
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 4: Ego gets involved, in security gets involved. It's very unfortunate.

1297
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 4: I haven't really had any Thank God, there's nobody I

1298
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 4: have beef.

1299
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1300
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 4: There's plenty of people that don't like me, but I mean,

1301
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 4: hasn't really affected me, and I haven't really been stuck

1302
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 4: in the middle of anything.

1303
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 2: Have you heard anything?

1304
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 3: No, No, even my daughter.

1305
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: I told my daughter. I called on my daughter the

1306
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: on Friday, and he's like, what you're doing. I said, well,

Speaker 3: No, thank you?

1317
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,239

1319
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: As a matter faceless FaceTime once I get we get done.

1320
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: I would love to thirty years of age. You've accomplished

1321
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: so much in your first thirty years. What can we

1322
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,280
Speaker 1: expect from Matt Rife in the next thirty?

1323
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 3: Oh?

1324
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 2: Man, I don't know.

1325
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 4: I think about that every day, you know. Like I said,

1326
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 4: I'd like to make the transition over to more acting.

1327
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 4: I love movies. I love I love watching movies. I

1328
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 4: love making the few that I've done. Got one with

1329
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 4: Owen Wilson. It's going to come out later this year,

1330
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 4: which was crazy. I mean, talk about one of the

1331
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 4: greatest of all time, is an absolute legend. I hope

1332
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 4: to transition more into that, and maybe I'll end up

1333
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 4: doing less stand up as that time goes on, or

1334
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 4: maybe I'll find maybe I'll be able to find the balance.

1335
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 4: But I know I can't tour like I'm touring right

1336
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 4: now for the rest of my life. Piece of advice

1337
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 4: Chappelle gave me was like, you gotta live your life.

1338
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 4: Material comes from living your life. You gotta go experience things.

1339
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 4: You can't just live on the road. We can talk

1340
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 4: about being on the road all the time, it's not related.

1341
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 2: People don't know.

1342
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 4: About the tour bus and the behind the scenes and

1343
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 4: all that. Some funny stories can happen, But you got

1344
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 4: to go out there and you got to live your life.

1345
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 4: And I live on this beautiful place in Rhode Island.

Speaker 1: You ain't mentioned nothing that We've been talking for an

1350
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: hour and you ain't mentioning none of that.

1351
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:35,120

1357
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,120

00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: I would just I just hit decline, declined, decline. Jordan,

1359

Speaker 1: my guy here is like he a boss.

1360
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 3: You know.

1361
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: I said, no what I said? How I said? Did

1362
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: anybody see anything? They say no, they couldn't see anything,

1363
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: but they could hear everything.

1364
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, man, I never ground until I saw you,

1365
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 4: and I was like, I was like, oh, this is

1366
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:19,439
Speaker 4: what I'm doing wrong?

1367
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 3: Got it?

1368
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 2: He said, all right, all right, I appreciate the pointers,

1369
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 2: but we'll see. We'll see, you know what I mean.

1370
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe a wife and kids is in the picture.

1371
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: I hope it is.

1372
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 4: But it's also gotta be timing right, Yes, right now,

1373
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 4: I live a very selfish lifestyle.

1374
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 2: I say, I'm on tour, my work is.

1375
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 3: Your life, wife is your wife?

1376
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 4: When that, yeah, I'm married to work right now, and

1377
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 4: eventually I really pray somebody, you know, could be a

1378
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,399
Speaker 4: part of that. I could share all of this with them,

1379
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 4: but it's got to be the right time. I don't

1380
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 4: want to be a half assed boyfriend. I want to

1381
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:50,800
Speaker 4: be a half assed husband. I want to be supportive

1382
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 4: from when you started to now. Is comedy harder then

1383
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 4: or is it harder now?

1384
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 2: I think comedy gets harder every year that goes by.

1385
00:54:59,520 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 2: I think so.

1386
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 4: Media doesn't make that easier, for sure, with meme culture

1387
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,919
Speaker 4: and all that, Like, jokes are all over social media

1388
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 4: all the time. I'll think of a joke one day,

1389
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 4: I'll see it as a meme the next day and

1390
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 4: I go, well, thank god I didn't say.

1391
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 2: That on stage.

1392
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 4: Wow, I could be doing one on stage, And then

1393
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 4: somebody makes a meme of it and I go, I've

1394
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,760
Speaker 4: been doing that joke for a year. Now, I can't

1395
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 4: do this. People don't think I stole it from the internet.

1396
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 4: I think it's it gets harder and harder as time

1397
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 4: goes on. More and more comedy happens. People put up

1398
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 4: more special there's more people starting comedy, there's more perspectives

1399
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 4: being in the game. I do think this is this

1400
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 4: is gonna get clip out of context. But I think

1401
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,760
Speaker 4: comedy was easier in the seventies, eighties, nineties just because

1402
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 4: nothing had been done yet. Nothing but women be shopping

1403
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 4: was a crazy concept in the eighties and nineties. Right,

1404
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 4: nothing had been talked about all things.

1405
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 3: Nobody got canceled for selling a joke.

1406
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 4: Nobody got canceled at all, which I think people are

1407
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 4: getting less and less scared, I do, right and less

1408
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,280
Speaker 4: unless it comes down to some kind of malicious intent,

1409
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 4: and you could tell this person really means something they're saying.

1410
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 2: Right now, you can't cancel a comedian.

1411
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,760
Speaker 4: Our power lies entirely in the hands of our fans.

1412
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 4: As long as people look at people who got canceled.

1413
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 4: Let's let's talk about Louis k or a Crysta Lea,

1414
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 4: whoever it may be. They still sell out theaters, by

1415
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 4: the way, and they got canceled, they had ship taken

1416
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 4: from them professionally. Their fans still sell our tickets. So therefore,

1417
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 4: are they really canceled?

1418
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 3: No?

1419
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 2: No, what does the word canceling you mean? You're you're

1420
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 2: in trouble in of the public. What does that do?

1421
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 3: Right? Uh? You know what the girls said, you are

1422
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 3: a celebrity crust to get at.

1423
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 2: You, Hailey, Well, yeah, I met her on well, yes

1424
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 2: I did.

1425
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 4: I met her first on FaceTime. Whitney Cummings uh face

1426
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 4: timed her on her podcast. She was very sweet. I

1427
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 4: said I was a celebrity crush or something. And then

1428
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 4: I was performing in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena, which was

1429
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 4: my first real size arena that I ever did in Nashville.

1430
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 2: I love Nashville. I think I'm back there in October.

1431
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 2: YEA love Nashville. Thought about moving there, but there's no

1432
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 2: land within the city. I wanted someone.

1433
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:02,839
Speaker 3: You got to be out, you got to go out.

1434
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 2: But if you live an hour outside of Nashville, you

1435
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 2: really live in Nashville, or you in Memphis.

1436
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 4: Smphis, you know what I mean, Chattanooga, Yeahue. So then

1437
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 4: I invited her to that show. She came out and

1438
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 4: I do these like kind of like behind stage walkouts,

1439
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 4: like almost I don't if you ever seen any Morgan

1440
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 4: Wallan shows, like the camera kind of follows them on

1441
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 4: the jumbo tron from backstage out to the stage. We

1442
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 4: do a similar thing. And for this one, I rode

1443
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 4: a horse in on at the very beginning of it,

1444
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 4: and then I got off the horse and I walked

1445
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 4: over the camera paned over to her, and she like

1446
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 4: haalked to it into my spitt in my hands and

1447
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 4: walked up.

1448
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: To wow you you wow? For that one, Mat she was.

1449
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 4: She was so down for it. She was very nice.

1450
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 4: She uh and then she got in trouble for that,

1451
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 4: uh that crypto ship.

1452
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, poor girl.

1453
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know people got mad at her, but I'm like,

1454
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 4: and I mean disrespectfully as possible. You really think she

1455
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 4: had any anything to do with that. You think she

1456
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 4: knows anything about crypto? You think she was like, I

1457
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 4: can't wait till people over. Somebody came to her and

1458
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 4: was like, I have an idea how you can make

1459
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 4: a bunch of money quick.

1460
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 2: They up and she got in trouble for it. It's

1461
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 2: a problem with immediate man.

1462
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,120

1487
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:00,440
