Speaker 2 (00:32):
Ah doubt in your voice there, Johnny Carrol, thank you
for that.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Welcome back to the show, Rick Tittle, with you nationally
syndicated out of San Francisco and around the world on
the American Forces Radio Network. Well at the world famous Punchline.
Tomorrow night, we're gonna have a really nice midweek treat
and that is one of the big headliners is coming
in for one night and one night only, the hump
Day appearance by our friend Chad Daniels, who joins us
(00:55):
on the line, Chad, what's going on Wednesday only?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
When only? But I decided, uh, since it's only one night,
to shift over to cops, so I'll be on that
side of town.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, yeah, the Big Room.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, going over there just because it's one night normally.
I love the punchline such a great you know, like
you said, historical room. They show the uh renumber. One
time I was coming out there watching the Robin Williams
documentary on the plane and there's pictures of him up
on that stage with the you know, the famous backdrop,
and it's just like, I can't believe that we get
(01:32):
to work the same room as that kind of guy,
you know. So it's, uh, that's a great room. But
just yeah, since it's just Wednesday, heading to Coms.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yes, and you know what, I do see it in
my notes. That's my bad.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You'll be at the Big Room down on Columbus absolutely,
not too far from the studio that you've been to
uh many times.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And then where are you heading after that? May I ask?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Then I'm just up the road to Sacramento and that
is the punch line up there, So I'll be there
for Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Very good.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Now, the question I have I wanted to ask you
was because I, as I've told you before, I listened
to Tuesdays with Stories with Joe and Mark, and sure
they were like, oh my gosh, did you see kill
Tony When William Montgomery was going at it with Chad
and Chad sat there quietly, and Chad's the kind of
(02:24):
guy that'll beat the hell out of you, and you
don't strike me that way. He seemed like a very
nice guy. But they were like, oh, it got so
close to a fight. And so then I watched it.
It wasn't as scary as they described it, but there
were a couple of moments where maybe that look in
your eye like you were like, all right, that's about
enough out of you.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
No, no, no, it wasn't anything like that. I just
I had never seen the show, so I didn't really
know what was going on. And I was just like,
this kid's jokes aren't working, so he's yelling at me,
so I'll let him do that, take a little piss
out of his vinegar, and and uh, you know that
that's really it. I didn't. I didn't care one way
or the other. And we talked after the show. He
seemed nice enough. We talked about some stuff he was
(03:08):
he was real bothered that he doesn't get paid for
doing the show, and he talked about it.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I like, I think Sam got up and left to
go to the bathroom or something.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, he had to pee. I mean, to be fair,
he had to. Actually, he told me about an hour
before that that he was his back teeth were floating,
so it was it wasn't anything to do with that.
Sam took off just to just to do what you
have to do because you have a human body.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Have you ever in your career, I'm not telling asking
you to name names, but have you ever had in
your career green room, airplane, you know, just anywhere, like
had a situation where you almost did have to like
fight somebody another fellow comedian.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh no, not a fellow comedian. No. I think for
the most part, it's like, you know, you either know
their Joe Oaks or you go, well, this is literally
going to be punching down because it's you know, some
some person that isn't quite where you are, and they're like, well,
I'm gonna I'm gonna attack up that way. When they
attack down, I can, you know, leapfrog them and take
(04:17):
their spot. It's kind of a bunch of nonsense. I
don't get I don't get too crazy with it. I
just I kind of think it's adorable when people yell
at me.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Greg fitz Simmons told me the story about and we
know he's kind of a little guy, but that someone
rest the stage and so he hit him over the
head with a mic. Anybody likes anybody say I'll see
you after the show usob.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Oh, I've had that kind of stuff happen. I actually
one time in bat Rige, Louisiana, they had a comedy
club inside of a giant dance club. But it was
like this you know, sequestered off area that was specific
for comedy. And this guy's hit date just wouldn't be quiet,
and so I kind of went at her a little bit.
(05:04):
But before that, I had been talking to these seven
guys in the front row and they were all police officers,
and I was, you know, busting their chops, and four
of them were brothers, like siblings, and so I go,
you know, I'm busting their chops a little bit, and
then I go after the guy's date who won't be quiet,
And I turned to get a glass of water when
(05:24):
people are laughing or a drink of water, and I
hear some shuffling and then I hear like a high
pitch kind of like I didn't know what that was
I turn around. This guy had charged the stage and
the cops in the front had tackled him and already
zip tied his hands in his ankles. It was awesome, wow,
and then they zip then they zip tied his hand
(05:48):
because he was really like wiggling and freaking out, and
so they zip tied his ankles to his wrists like
through the zip ties. It was pretty fascinating. He was
bowed out of the bit like a rocking horse, and
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Now, all I ever hear from comedians is that where's
the security? Where's the security? And then you, guys, you
had the ultimate security.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Right there, man, I had. I'm so glad that the
stuff I was saying to the cops was funny and
they enjoyed it. Who knows, well what happened, you know,
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Chad Daniels is with us.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
He's at Cobs on Wednesday, and then he'll be up
at the Mattress Store Sacramento Punchline, which.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
In fact, I saw Kelsey there last year. I liked
that club.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yep, yeah, yeah, it's a good club. It is a
good club. It is funny though you talk about the
mattress store. Somebody sent me a clip off of TikTok
that these new temper pedic beds have Bluetooth on them,
but there's no way there's Yeah, so they're basically speakers
around the bed that you can hook up to your phone,
but there's no way to disconnect your phone unless you
(06:55):
unplug the entire unit. And it has up to a
sixty foot radio to pick up the bluetooth. So they
sent it to me as if to say, Hey, every
night you're in Sacramento, why don't you do this to
the people in the mattress store? And I thought it
was very funny, very unique. I can't imagine how many
mattress stores are dealing with people playing the audio to
(07:17):
porn underneath their mattresses.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Well, why do we need an iPad on our refrigerator door?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah? No, clue, I listen. I can smell my milk.
I know when it's old. I don't need you to
tell me.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
The thing I hate is the app that says, let
me tell you how you slept. I'm like, I know
exactly how I slept, terribly, Like, what are you going
to tell me?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yes? I have actually a joke about that. Because Kelsey,
my girlfriend is also a comedian, like you mentioned, has
this aura ring. It's called where you wear it when
you sleep and it gives you all your vitals and
gives you a sleep score and stuff, and it's just like, hey,
I'm forty nine, I could tell you exactly how I
slept a minute I get up.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I've seen those every once in a while, there's like
a red or a green light.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It's almost like a mood ring.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, I don't even know what that light is. But sometimes,
you know, I'll be like sleeping facing her, trying to
go to sleep, and then it seems like someone opened
the shade in the room. But it's just maybe I
don't know if it's trying to pick up on her
heart rate or something.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So Minnesota, is it snowing yet, Chad?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
No, I just commented on that it's raining a lot,
but it's it normally would be snow. So you know
I've said this before, but please keep that. Keep throwing
your plastic in your trash can, not recycling, because I
love these mild winters.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I used to go to an army Navy in Philly
and it would be a blizzard in these last few
years going to the East coast.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Not that bad, No, not at all. I mean a
little windy maybe because of cold front's moving in, but
I can't believe we were not piled up with snow already.
It's pretty pretty unimaginable.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Now for those people who haven't seen all of Chad's specials,
the latest one, Empty Nester, is on Netflix and it's
out this year.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
And I was glad to see you on Netflix because
you know, you weren't a TikToker, you were actually an
established comedian over forty.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I actually was refreshed by that.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah, it was nice that they gave me a chance,
even though even though a lot of the comments were,
oh great, another middle aged white guy with a beard.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
It's just special and.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I, you know, I got it. But hopefully hopefully people
look past that and enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Anyways, Well, that's the thing I think that you catch
people off guard is that you're a lot darker than
you kind of come out because it's like, hey, I'm
a dad. Maybe the armtats. They then, well, maybe something's
going on here. But you're always that when you go
to the dark side. I think that's u it's special.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Oh well, yeah, thank you, Yeah, I do. You know
I have. I just like a lot of people, have
suppressed a lot of things in my life, and I
like to bring it up when I go on stage. Right,
you meet me at a grocery store, I'll hold the
door for you. It doesn't matter who you voted for.
But up on stage, that's my hour to express myself.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I think I brought this up with you in the past,
and I won't get into the whole joke, but my
favorite bit of yours was the person on the plane
was so annoying that you hope the plane crash so
you could kill them on the way down.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Oh right, yes, they died twice.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So the only bad thing about putting out as special
is that, well, you can't do the jokes anymore because
unlike singers, where we want your old stuff, everyone's going
to go.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I heard this bit, So how's the new hour, man.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I'm having a ton of fun with it. A lot
of stories just about you know, I moved in together
with Kelsey. We moved in together, and so a lot
of stuff about that, A lot of stuff about my
daughter still dealing with school and she's studying down in
Costa Rica. And then there's just some. There is some
like you know, surface level crazy stuff that I've been
(11:16):
talking about, which has been fun because now that my
kids aren't always with me, you know, when they were younger,
you're out in public, you kind of have to watch
it because you're being an example. But they're not around anymore,
so now I can just let it fly. It doesn't matter. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And finally, I remember you talked about taking your daughter
to college. She's was she doing a semester in Costa Rica?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
You said, yeah, doing a semester on in Costa Rica.
She's gonna be She is a junior now. So I
actually was just down there this last weekend checking it out.
Got to meet her mama, Tika, and her friends down there,
and man, she is living the life that is no kid.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
How is San Jose, Costa Rica?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Is that where you went?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah? I loved it. You know, it is very busy
and traffic. If you're you know, if you stay in
the right lane the entire trip, maybe San Jose is
not for you. But if you've ever if you've ever started,
you know, eighteen hole scramble at a golf course with
(12:15):
a shotgun start, and you love driving the golf cart
real close to other people. I recommend San Jose.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Do you know the way to that, San Jose?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, that would be pretty hard, all right, Chad, Dad,
I got to get the cheesy Dad joke in with
Dad channels because this is Chad Daniels. Make sure to
check them out of Cobs on Wednesday and the punchline Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
and Sack. I'll see you at one of those places,
my friend, I hope. So all right, good stuff, Thanks Chad.

Comedy All Stars Podcast with Rick Tittle, powered by eight
Side Network. All Right, calm down, Welcome back to the show,
Rick Tittle with you, nationally syndicated out of San Francisco
(13:56):
and around the world on the American Forces Radio Network.
You know, I love the commute. When they come to
town and Langston Kerman joins us on the phone. He's
headlining the world famous punchline down here on Battery Street.
Make sure to check him out tonight, a couple of
shows tomorrow, a couple shows Saturday as well.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Langston, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And I know you are a man of letters, you know,
the masters and poetry, and I was just wondering, are
you like a is it Shelley Yates?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Is there someone who's like your boy or your girl?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I'm not an old man. I'm all the poets I
like are are still alive, They're still doing good stuff.
But yeah, Terrence Hayes, well, Luise Glake, she passed this
past year. She's she's a favorite of mine. Do your
fans love poetry? Because this is gonna get terrible fat.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I want to get into Iamic Pandemeter for the next
ten minutes. Terence Hayes us he's younger than me.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I mean he's really young. It's like fifty, isn't he.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, No, he's a young dude. He's tall, he's handsome,
he's still got it. I'm a big fan of everything.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
He's doing very good.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
So growing up in the Chicago area, was it, you know,
like sixteen Candle suburbs or was it a little rougher.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
I'm from Oak Park, Illinois, which is the most famous
for the Frank Lloyd Wright homes. So I wouldn't say
that my childhood felt like sixteen Candles, but certainly my
neighborhood had a fair shake of folks that I think
we're experiencing something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
So that's not where.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's that's where his studio was, right, That's where he
designed all his homes.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Right.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I think?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Yeah, Like my neighborhood still has like these tours that
they do every week where people can sort of like
tour a bunch of the different, you know, works that
he left behind in the town. So yeah, if you
want to go see buildings that I guess are important,
go to Oak Park. That's what that add is.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Very good.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So I know that you write for TV or you're
an actor as well, And did acting come to you
like a fish to water?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
And did you really have to work at it?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I mean, I think the beauty of stand up comedy
is that we're largely tricking people into letting us do
a lot of things. And I've been very fortunate that
I've tricked a lot of people into letting me try stuff,
and thankfully the tricks sometimes works with the acting and
it sometimes works with the writing. So I'm just hoping
(16:47):
to keep it going.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Don't don't blow this for me, right, It would be
pretty crazy if I blew it for you. You you
wrote for the Oscars too, right, Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
That was my first ever real like job in the
industry was writing for Chris Rock's team for the twenty
sixteen Oscars.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Not this Oscars where he got slapped.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
He didn't write that one.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Uh No, that wasn't my bit. I want to be
very clear. I have no ownership over that bit.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Very funny.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I laughed a lot, but that's not my joke.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Have you ever because I remember Greg Fitzsimmons telling me,
and you know he's not that big. Some guy rushed
the stage, so he hit him in the head with
the mic. You know, have you ever had anybody like
I'll meet you outside or any of that.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Fortunately, nobody has ever tried to fight me. But I
have been a part of a bunch of scuffles where
people have rushed the stage at other comedians that one
of them was my ride, so I had to also
rush the stage to help him, and that's stunk because
he frankly he deserved to get punched in the head.
(18:01):
But I can't afford for him to be concussed in
getting me back home.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So now can we say who it is? Or it's no,
we can't say.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Who it is. Oh, I don't want to say who
it is. But just know, even if I said it,
it wouldn't matter to you. This isn't ecomic Goods left
a large imprint on the on the world.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
When you're on your way up, you know, some people
will take you under their wing, and some people will
tell you to get out, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
And I've had.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Comedians tell me that. Arch Barker said he was here
at the punchline. He was doing a Sunday Night Mike
and no one laughed, and he's like, all right, that's it.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
And as he was leaving, basically a guy who was
kind of a no name said you're hilarious. Screw this crowd.
Keep writing, And he said that kept him going. Did
you ever get any sage advice like that?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I think to that point, almost every time I get
off stage, I say to myself, what am I doing?
It for anymore. I've been doing comedy almost fifteen years.
This is silly that people would even show up to this,
and sometimes they don't, which I hope they come out
(19:19):
this weekenet into the punch line. But no, I think
it's less about sort of the sage advice that becomes
your salvation and more just like finding a reason every
day to keep trying this very absurd game of making
people laugh with no context.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Well, I mean it's the hardest.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I believe it is the hardest form of entertainment to
just walk up and make fifty plus people strangers laugh.
I mean it can be absolutely terrifying. And I know
you're a family man now and a dad, and so
a lot of times maybe your motivation is I got
to pay some bills here.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Feel like there are better ways to pay the bill.
I don't know. There's like that. Now, there's that UFC
slap competition. I think that seems if I can slap
people pretty good, then maybe I might be able to
give myself money faster than stand up.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I forgot all about that thing.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, you have to stand there and take it, and
there are very strict rules about the position of your
hand and the position of your arm.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
But you talk about being instant.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Your feet can't go out of bounds. Yeah, it's a
real legitimate sport for former drug addictes.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Well, it almost sounds like a CTE experimental lab almost
because you're going to get a concussion for sure.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Oh buddy, I think concussion is the softest thing you
can get out of some.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Of those slabs.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
But you know they're enjoying them though, who if they're young.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Lanson kerminis with us.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
He's at the Punchline headlining this week, and a couple
more questions speaking of punching. I was just talking about
how I didn't think the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight
was sports or entertainment, and you could say, no, it's
actually both as sports and entertainment. But as much as
I said I wasn't going to watch it, I'm now
(21:23):
after this last press commence, I saw, I want Mike Tyson,
who's my age, to knock out this guy. So I
didn't even know who he was, but I want Mike
Tyson to knock this guy out so badly now, which
I guess is what they've done. They're getting people interested.
Do you have any infinitesimal interest in this.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Yeah, Unfortunately, Jake Paul has been going around slapping some
of the most important black men that that left an
imprint on my young life, and I'm real worried he's
going to do it to arguably the greatest boxer time
and that's that's going to be a real problem for
me if he does so. I'm definitely rooting for Mike
(22:06):
Tyson to knock him out. I am extremely fearful of
what it means for a you know, fifty five year
old man to be going up against a YouTube child.
But he's he's good. He's apparently better than we want
him to be, and that's a real problem.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, it's fifty eight. I think what it is is
that Mike, if it gets past the third round, I
think you're going to start seeing Mike slow down. I mean,
it's just father time catching.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Up with you.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I've seen a few people who are much more tapped
into like boxing, sort of like reviewing his training and
saying that he just looks like he's lost the step,
which is perfectly normal for a fifty eight year old man,
But it's a lot harder when you're going up against
a very very young man who's on a fair amount
(23:00):
of cocaine.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Now, I was talking about your your acting, as you've
done a lot of stuff. But when you got on
Insecure on HBO, I mean that's was it life changing?
Or am I making too bitch of a big deal
of it, because I would think it would be.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Yeah, it was, it was. I would say, it's it's
It was pretty transformative for me. It was my first
real acting job, and I was lucky to be in
the first season before that show, even before anyone knew
what that show would become, and so I didn't know
what what I had had luckily landed into. But I'm
(23:41):
super grateful that it turned into what it became.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
So then you go to Michigan. Were you big Wolverines
football fan or did you go to all that stuff?
Speaker 4 (23:54):
You know what? I played basketball, and I was actually
a practice player for the women's basketball team, and so
I was less interested in the football. But but every
almost every day I was practicing against the women. Uh
And we got free gear and all the gear set
(24:15):
women on it. But that's okay. I got cool warm
ups and nice lady shoes. I got to play basketball
against some very talented gown.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That is actually a really cool job to have at
the time. So I'm trying to think your age. Who
was the guy? Was it Ryan Mallett? Was he the quarterback?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Then?
Speaker 4 (24:35):
No? When I was there, who was there? Yeah? Was
our quarterback? I believe Chad Henny.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah. We were bad.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
We were not I It took a while for Michigan
to rEFInd itself, and I blame myself. I'm sorry I
did that. Any Michigan fans out there, I mean too,
but that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Well, how about the retribution with the big I mean,
I know they're not great this year, but who cares?
They actually won it all last year. Were you jumping
around or you're like, oh that's.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Nice, Yeah, nice. I'm thirty seven, I got two kids,
I got more stuff. I want some sleep. I don't
care about a championship anymore for young boys.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I need rest, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
So finally, people come down to the punchline. Get your
tickets down here on Battery Street, punchlinesf dot com. What
are they in store for Langston?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I hope it's gonna be a fun weekend. It's gonna
be loose. We're gonna we're gonna riff, we're gonna talk
some trash. It'll be a great time. I don't expect.
I don't expect anyone's walking out with a sad face.
That's a promise I can keep, and I don't know.
Come last, come hang out there.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It is the no frownie face guarantee punchline. Come on down,

Welcome back to the show, Rick Tittle, with you nationally

the American Forces Radio Network. Well at the world famous Punchline.
Tomorrow night, we're gonna have a really nice midweek treat
and that is one of the big headliners is coming
in for one night and one night only, the hump
Day appearance by our friend Chad Daniels, who joins us
(00:55):
on the line, Chad, what's going on Wednesday only?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
When only? But I decided, uh, since it's only one night,
to shift over to cops, so I'll be on that
side of town.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, yeah, the Big Room.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, going over there just because it's one night normally.
I love the punchline such a great you know, like
you said, historical room. They show the uh renumber. One
time I was coming out there watching the Robin Williams
documentary on the plane and there's pictures of him up
on that stage with the you know, the famous backdrop,
and it's just like, I can't believe that we get
(01:32):
to work the same room as that kind of guy,
you know. So it's, uh, that's a great room. But
just yeah, since it's just Wednesday, heading to Coms.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yes, and you know what, I do see it in
my notes. That's my bad.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You'll be at the Big Room down on Columbus absolutely,
not too far from the studio that you've been to
uh many times.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And then where are you heading after that? May I ask?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Then I'm just up the road to Sacramento and that
is the punch line up there, So I'll be there
for Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Very good.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Now, the question I have I wanted to ask you
was because I, as I've told you before, I listened
to Tuesdays with Stories with Joe and Mark, and sure
they were like, oh my gosh, did you see kill
Tony When William Montgomery was going at it with Chad
and Chad sat there quietly, and Chad's the kind of
(02:24):
guy that'll beat the hell out of you, and you
don't strike me that way. He seemed like a very
nice guy. But they were like, oh, it got so
close to a fight. And so then I watched it.
It wasn't as scary as they described it, but there
were a couple of moments where maybe that look in
your eye like you were like, all right, that's about
enough out of you.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
No, no, no, it wasn't anything like that. I just
I had never seen the show, so I didn't really
know what was going on. And I was just like,
this kid's jokes aren't working, so he's yelling at me,
so I'll let him do that, take a little piss
out of his vinegar, and and uh, you know that
that's really it. I didn't. I didn't care one way
or the other. And we talked after the show. He
seemed nice enough. We talked about some stuff he was
(03:08):
he was real bothered that he doesn't get paid for
doing the show, and he talked about it.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I like, I think Sam got up and left to
go to the bathroom or something.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, he had to pee. I mean, to be fair,
he had to. Actually, he told me about an hour
before that that he was his back teeth were floating,
so it was it wasn't anything to do with that.
Sam took off just to just to do what you
have to do because you have a human body.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Have you ever in your career, I'm not telling asking
you to name names, but have you ever had in
your career green room, airplane, you know, just anywhere, like
had a situation where you almost did have to like
fight somebody another fellow comedian.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh no, not a fellow comedian. No. I think for
the most part, it's like, you know, you either know
their Joe Oaks or you go, well, this is literally
going to be punching down because it's you know, some
some person that isn't quite where you are, and they're like, well,
I'm gonna I'm gonna attack up that way. When they
attack down, I can, you know, leapfrog them and take
(04:17):
their spot. It's kind of a bunch of nonsense. I
don't get I don't get too crazy with it. I
just I kind of think it's adorable when people yell
at me.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Greg fitz Simmons told me the story about and we
know he's kind of a little guy, but that someone
rest the stage and so he hit him over the
head with a mic. Anybody likes anybody say I'll see
you after the show usob.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Oh, I've had that kind of stuff happen. I actually
one time in bat Rige, Louisiana, they had a comedy
club inside of a giant dance club. But it was
like this you know, sequestered off area that was specific
for comedy. And this guy's hit date just wouldn't be quiet,
and so I kind of went at her a little bit.
(05:04):
But before that, I had been talking to these seven
guys in the front row and they were all police officers,
and I was, you know, busting their chops, and four
of them were brothers, like siblings, and so I go,
you know, I'm busting their chops a little bit, and
then I go after the guy's date who won't be quiet,
And I turned to get a glass of water when
(05:24):
people are laughing or a drink of water, and I
hear some shuffling and then I hear like a high
pitch kind of like I didn't know what that was
I turn around. This guy had charged the stage and
the cops in the front had tackled him and already
zip tied his hands in his ankles. It was awesome, wow,
and then they zip then they zip tied his hand
(05:48):
because he was really like wiggling and freaking out, and
so they zip tied his ankles to his wrists like
through the zip ties. It was pretty fascinating. He was
bowed out of the bit like a rocking horse, and
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Now, all I ever hear from comedians is that where's
the security? Where's the security? And then you, guys, you
had the ultimate security.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Right there, man, I had. I'm so glad that the
stuff I was saying to the cops was funny and
they enjoyed it. Who knows, well what happened, you know,
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Chad Daniels is with us.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
He's at Cobs on Wednesday, and then he'll be up
at the Mattress Store Sacramento Punchline, which.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
In fact, I saw Kelsey there last year. I liked
that club.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yep, yeah, yeah, it's a good club. It is a
good club. It is funny though you talk about the
mattress store. Somebody sent me a clip off of TikTok
that these new temper pedic beds have Bluetooth on them,
but there's no way there's Yeah, so they're basically speakers
around the bed that you can hook up to your phone,
but there's no way to disconnect your phone unless you
(06:55):
unplug the entire unit. And it has up to a
sixty foot radio to pick up the bluetooth. So they
sent it to me as if to say, Hey, every
night you're in Sacramento, why don't you do this to
the people in the mattress store? And I thought it
was very funny, very unique. I can't imagine how many
mattress stores are dealing with people playing the audio to
(07:17):
porn underneath their mattresses.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Well, why do we need an iPad on our refrigerator door?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah? No, clue, I listen. I can smell my milk.
I know when it's old. I don't need you to
tell me.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
The thing I hate is the app that says, let
me tell you how you slept. I'm like, I know
exactly how I slept, terribly, Like, what are you going
to tell me?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yes? I have actually a joke about that. Because Kelsey,
my girlfriend is also a comedian, like you mentioned, has
this aura ring. It's called where you wear it when
you sleep and it gives you all your vitals and
gives you a sleep score and stuff, and it's just like, hey,
I'm forty nine, I could tell you exactly how I
slept a minute I get up.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I've seen those every once in a while, there's like
a red or a green light.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It's almost like a mood ring.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, I don't even know what that light is. But sometimes,
you know, I'll be like sleeping facing her, trying to
go to sleep, and then it seems like someone opened
the shade in the room. But it's just maybe I
don't know if it's trying to pick up on her
heart rate or something.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So Minnesota, is it snowing yet, Chad?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
No, I just commented on that it's raining a lot,
but it's it normally would be snow. So you know
I've said this before, but please keep that. Keep throwing
your plastic in your trash can, not recycling, because I
love these mild winters.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I used to go to an army Navy in Philly
and it would be a blizzard in these last few
years going to the East coast.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Not that bad, No, not at all. I mean a
little windy maybe because of cold front's moving in, but
I can't believe we were not piled up with snow already.
It's pretty pretty unimaginable.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Now for those people who haven't seen all of Chad's specials,
the latest one, Empty Nester, is on Netflix and it's
out this year.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
And I was glad to see you on Netflix because
you know, you weren't a TikToker, you were actually an
established comedian over forty.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I actually was refreshed by that.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah, it was nice that they gave me a chance,
even though even though a lot of the comments were,
oh great, another middle aged white guy with a beard.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
It's just special and.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I, you know, I got it. But hopefully hopefully people
look past that and enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Anyways, Well, that's the thing I think that you catch
people off guard is that you're a lot darker than
you kind of come out because it's like, hey, I'm
a dad. Maybe the armtats. They then, well, maybe something's
going on here. But you're always that when you go
to the dark side. I think that's u it's special.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Oh well, yeah, thank you, Yeah, I do. You know
I have. I just like a lot of people, have
suppressed a lot of things in my life, and I
like to bring it up when I go on stage. Right,
you meet me at a grocery store, I'll hold the
door for you. It doesn't matter who you voted for.
But up on stage, that's my hour to express myself.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I think I brought this up with you in the past,
and I won't get into the whole joke, but my
favorite bit of yours was the person on the plane
was so annoying that you hope the plane crash so
you could kill them on the way down.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Oh right, yes, they died twice.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So the only bad thing about putting out as special
is that, well, you can't do the jokes anymore because
unlike singers, where we want your old stuff, everyone's going
to go.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I heard this bit, So how's the new hour, man.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I'm having a ton of fun with it. A lot
of stories just about you know, I moved in together
with Kelsey. We moved in together, and so a lot
of stuff about that, A lot of stuff about my
daughter still dealing with school and she's studying down in
Costa Rica. And then there's just some. There is some
like you know, surface level crazy stuff that I've been
(11:16):
talking about, which has been fun because now that my
kids aren't always with me, you know, when they were younger,
you're out in public, you kind of have to watch
it because you're being an example. But they're not around anymore,
so now I can just let it fly. It doesn't matter. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And finally, I remember you talked about taking your daughter
to college. She's was she doing a semester in Costa Rica?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
You said, yeah, doing a semester on in Costa Rica.
She's gonna be She is a junior now. So I
actually was just down there this last weekend checking it out.
Got to meet her mama, Tika, and her friends down there,
and man, she is living the life that is no kid.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
How is San Jose, Costa Rica?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Is that where you went?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Yeah? I loved it. You know, it is very busy
and traffic. If you're you know, if you stay in
the right lane the entire trip, maybe San Jose is
not for you. But if you've ever if you've ever started,
you know, eighteen hole scramble at a golf course with
(12:15):
a shotgun start, and you love driving the golf cart
real close to other people. I recommend San Jose.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Do you know the way to that, San Jose?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, that would be pretty hard, all right, Chad, Dad,
I got to get the cheesy Dad joke in with
Dad channels because this is Chad Daniels. Make sure to
check them out of Cobs on Wednesday and the punchline Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
and Sack. I'll see you at one of those places,
my friend, I hope. So all right, good stuff, Thanks Chad.

Comedy All Stars Podcast with Rick Tittle, powered by eight
Side Network. All Right, calm down, Welcome back to the show,
Rick Tittle with you, nationally syndicated out of San Francisco
(13:56):
and around the world on the American Forces Radio Network.
You know, I love the commute. When they come to
town and Langston Kerman joins us on the phone. He's
headlining the world famous punchline down here on Battery Street.
Make sure to check him out tonight, a couple of
shows tomorrow, a couple shows Saturday as well.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Langston, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And I know you are a man of letters, you know,
the masters and poetry, and I was just wondering, are
you like a is it Shelley Yates?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Is there someone who's like your boy or your girl?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I'm not an old man. I'm all the poets I
like are are still alive, They're still doing good stuff.
But yeah, Terrence Hayes, well, Luise Glake, she passed this
past year. She's she's a favorite of mine. Do your
fans love poetry? Because this is gonna get terrible fat.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I want to get into Iamic Pandemeter for the next
ten minutes. Terence Hayes us he's younger than me.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I mean he's really young. It's like fifty, isn't he.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, No, he's a young dude. He's tall, he's handsome,
he's still got it. I'm a big fan of everything.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
He's doing very good.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
So growing up in the Chicago area, was it, you know,
like sixteen Candle suburbs or was it a little rougher.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
I'm from Oak Park, Illinois, which is the most famous
for the Frank Lloyd Wright homes. So I wouldn't say
that my childhood felt like sixteen Candles, but certainly my
neighborhood had a fair shake of folks that I think
we're experiencing something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
So that's not where.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's that's where his studio was, right, That's where he
designed all his homes.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Right.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I think?
Speaker 3 (15:49):
So?
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Yeah, Like my neighborhood still has like these tours that
they do every week where people can sort of like
tour a bunch of the different, you know, works that
he left behind in the town. So yeah, if you
want to go see buildings that I guess are important,
go to Oak Park. That's what that add is.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Very good.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So I know that you write for TV or you're
an actor as well, And did acting come to you
like a fish to water?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
And did you really have to work at it?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I mean, I think the beauty of stand up comedy
is that we're largely tricking people into letting us do
a lot of things. And I've been very fortunate that
I've tricked a lot of people into letting me try stuff,
and thankfully the tricks sometimes works with the acting and
it sometimes works with the writing. So I'm just hoping
(16:47):
to keep it going.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Don't don't blow this for me, right, It would be
pretty crazy if I blew it for you. You you
wrote for the Oscars too, right, Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
That was my first ever real like job in the
industry was writing for Chris Rock's team for the twenty
sixteen Oscars.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Not this Oscars where he got slapped.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
He didn't write that one.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Uh No, that wasn't my bit. I want to be
very clear. I have no ownership over that bit.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Very funny.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I laughed a lot, but that's not my joke.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Have you ever because I remember Greg Fitzsimmons telling me,
and you know he's not that big. Some guy rushed
the stage, so he hit him in the head with
the mic. You know, have you ever had anybody like
I'll meet you outside or any of that.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Fortunately, nobody has ever tried to fight me. But I
have been a part of a bunch of scuffles where
people have rushed the stage at other comedians that one
of them was my ride, so I had to also
rush the stage to help him, and that's stunk because
he frankly he deserved to get punched in the head.
(18:01):
But I can't afford for him to be concussed in
getting me back home.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So now can we say who it is? Or it's no,
we can't say.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Who it is. Oh, I don't want to say who
it is. But just know, even if I said it,
it wouldn't matter to you. This isn't ecomic Goods left
a large imprint on the on the world.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
When you're on your way up, you know, some people
will take you under their wing, and some people will
tell you to get out, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
And I've had.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Comedians tell me that. Arch Barker said he was here
at the punchline. He was doing a Sunday Night Mike
and no one laughed, and he's like, all right, that's it.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
And as he was leaving, basically a guy who was
kind of a no name said you're hilarious. Screw this crowd.
Keep writing, And he said that kept him going. Did
you ever get any sage advice like that?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I think to that point, almost every time I get
off stage, I say to myself, what am I doing?
It for anymore. I've been doing comedy almost fifteen years.
This is silly that people would even show up to this,
and sometimes they don't, which I hope they come out
(19:19):
this weekenet into the punch line. But no, I think
it's less about sort of the sage advice that becomes
your salvation and more just like finding a reason every
day to keep trying this very absurd game of making
people laugh with no context.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Well, I mean it's the hardest.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I believe it is the hardest form of entertainment to
just walk up and make fifty plus people strangers laugh.
I mean it can be absolutely terrifying. And I know
you're a family man now and a dad, and so
a lot of times maybe your motivation is I got
to pay some bills here.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Feel like there are better ways to pay the bill.
I don't know. There's like that. Now, there's that UFC
slap competition. I think that seems if I can slap
people pretty good, then maybe I might be able to
give myself money faster than stand up.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I forgot all about that thing.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Yeah, you have to stand there and take it, and
there are very strict rules about the position of your
hand and the position of your arm.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
But you talk about being instant.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Your feet can't go out of bounds. Yeah, it's a
real legitimate sport for former drug addictes.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Well, it almost sounds like a CTE experimental lab almost
because you're going to get a concussion for sure.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Oh buddy, I think concussion is the softest thing you
can get out of some.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Of those slabs.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
But you know they're enjoying them though, who if they're young.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Lanson kerminis with us.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
He's at the Punchline headlining this week, and a couple
more questions speaking of punching. I was just talking about
how I didn't think the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight
was sports or entertainment, and you could say, no, it's
actually both as sports and entertainment. But as much as
I said I wasn't going to watch it, I'm now
(21:23):
after this last press commence, I saw, I want Mike Tyson,
who's my age, to knock out this guy. So I
didn't even know who he was, but I want Mike
Tyson to knock this guy out so badly now, which
I guess is what they've done. They're getting people interested.
Do you have any infinitesimal interest in this.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Yeah, Unfortunately, Jake Paul has been going around slapping some
of the most important black men that that left an
imprint on my young life, and I'm real worried he's
going to do it to arguably the greatest boxer time
and that's that's going to be a real problem for
me if he does so. I'm definitely rooting for Mike
(22:06):
Tyson to knock him out. I am extremely fearful of
what it means for a you know, fifty five year
old man to be going up against a YouTube child.
But he's he's good. He's apparently better than we want
him to be, and that's a real problem.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, it's fifty eight. I think what it is is
that Mike, if it gets past the third round, I
think you're going to start seeing Mike slow down. I mean,
it's just father time catching.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Up with you.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I've seen a few people who are much more tapped
into like boxing, sort of like reviewing his training and
saying that he just looks like he's lost the step,
which is perfectly normal for a fifty eight year old man,
But it's a lot harder when you're going up against
a very very young man who's on a fair amount
(23:00):
of cocaine.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Now, I was talking about your your acting, as you've
done a lot of stuff. But when you got on
Insecure on HBO, I mean that's was it life changing?
Or am I making too bitch of a big deal
of it, because I would think it would be.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Yeah, it was, it was. I would say, it's it's
It was pretty transformative for me. It was my first
real acting job, and I was lucky to be in
the first season before that show, even before anyone knew
what that show would become, and so I didn't know
what what I had had luckily landed into. But I'm
(23:41):
super grateful that it turned into what it became.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
So then you go to Michigan. Were you big Wolverines
football fan or did you go to all that stuff?
Speaker 4 (23:54):
You know what? I played basketball, and I was actually
a practice player for the women's basketball team, and so
I was less interested in the football. But but every
almost every day I was practicing against the women. Uh
And we got free gear and all the gear set
(24:15):
women on it. But that's okay. I got cool warm
ups and nice lady shoes. I got to play basketball
against some very talented gown.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That is actually a really cool job to have at
the time. So I'm trying to think your age. Who
was the guy? Was it Ryan Mallett? Was he the quarterback?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Then?
Speaker 4 (24:35):
No? When I was there, who was there? Yeah? Was
our quarterback? I believe Chad Henny.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah. We were bad.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
We were not I It took a while for Michigan
to rEFInd itself, and I blame myself. I'm sorry I
did that. Any Michigan fans out there, I mean too,
but that's what happened.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Well, how about the retribution with the big I mean,
I know they're not great this year, but who cares?
They actually won it all last year. Were you jumping
around or you're like, oh that's.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Nice, Yeah, nice. I'm thirty seven, I got two kids,
I got more stuff. I want some sleep. I don't
care about a championship anymore for young boys.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I need rest, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
So finally, people come down to the punchline. Get your
tickets down here on Battery Street, punchlinesf dot com. What
are they in store for Langston?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I hope it's gonna be a fun weekend. It's gonna
be loose. We're gonna we're gonna riff, we're gonna talk
some trash. It'll be a great time. I don't expect.
I don't expect anyone's walking out with a sad face.
That's a promise I can keep, and I don't know.
Come last, come hang out there.
