Speaker 1 (00:04):
I still speaking that that should not have made it
to the rest of us thoughts or.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Chuck check check Welcome back. I hope you're having a
good day, good start to the week. I got a
cool interview for you at the end of the podcast,
comedian Tatiana Frank. She was recently coming through Indianapolis. Sure
she killed it. You'll get to hear that. How you doing, Yeah,
feeling good? His life is life great. I'm feeling pretty good.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Aimes made a pretty big decision for the both of us,
and I gotta be honest, I wasn't on board at first.
I am one hundred percent with it, and it's one
of the best things I've ever gotten to experience. She
ordered us a squatty potty from the toilet. It's so amazing.
(01:01):
Like you know when you get talking to somebody and
they kind of drop the fact that they're rich and
they're like.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I have a bidet. It's from Japan. It's kind
of like that where.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I I get it now, Like I understand how life
changing it is because sometimes you know, you know you
gotta go, but it's just it's not it's not coming.
You miss your moment by a little bit it's not
working out. You're running behind. Now you're like, oh.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Wow, it's gonna be an all day thing. I'm gonna
be feeling.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Squatty potty gets you in the crouch position like we
were supposed to be when we were a cave man.
You know, like when you just squat anywhere and take
a dump. That's what it does. It's awesome as just
telling me, she's.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Like avoided us a squatty party. You know. It's like,
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Like I'm not saying this to be mean, but I
just feel like if we have a squatty potty, I'm
gonna feel kind of like handicap or something like you
know what I mean, Like one of my legs doesn't work.
I gotta get it up there, like I can't poop
by myself. I think it was just like the dumb
guy energy I have in me. Part of me was like,
you know, if I use a squatty potty, I'm not
I'm not a man.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I need I need something to help me poop. But
I gotta be honest. It is. It's life changing.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's funny because I feel like an old person and
a child at the same time. You know, because you're
using the squatty potty, you're popping your feet up.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's like one of those shower seats. You get too old,
you don't want to swip, you gotta sit down. That's
that's kind of what it feels like. But also like
I can put my feet up on it and you know,
swing my legs a little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I feel like a five year old.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I just you know, I poop it out by myself.
My parents are like, yeah, that's good. Okay, Remember wipe
your butt all the way all the way. So if
you're thinking about squatty potty, if you're on the fence
about it, I'd go ahead and do it.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Conversations I never thought I would have, But now I'm
thirty two, and this is the stuff that gets me excited. Man,
Like twenty one year old me, if you had told him, hey, dude,
eleven years from now, you're gonna be getting hyped about
a squatty potty.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Oh dude, that's stupid. I suck.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
But now I'm like, now, twenty one year old Nick,
he was dumb. He was going to the bars and
drinking all the time. He didn't have to worry about
a squatty potty because.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It just peed out.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
But we take our fiber tablets, we eat fruits, vegetables,
and we use our squatty potty high functioning over here.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, so I've just I've been a good mood. Had
a great week. The show in Nashville, its Aanies last
week went well. It was kind of funny. I had
to like work a little bit, Like that was the
first time in a while I had to like really
work to get some laughs because I was the only
guy on the UH on the lineup, so already, you know,
(04:02):
it was an audience mostly left leaning women, and I
don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I just I know what I look like.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know, I come out there and I look like
I think terrible shit about other human beings. So already
they're looking at me arms crossed, like.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Nope, whatever you said, it's not funny. But I got them.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Took me, took me a few minutes, but I got
him and it felt good. But it was funny being
in that green room because everybody in there was like
super cool, except this one comic was just I don't
know what I did to her. She was just anything
I said. She was like, nope, fuck you. I was like, okay. Like,
(04:41):
there was this one comic from Austin that was on
the show and we got to talking about Texas and
I was like, yeah, I used to live there for
a little bit. And we started talking about the pandemic
and stuff like that, and I was like, dude, Texas
was wild, cause you know, you'd think you'd be following
the rules and people get mad at you for it.
(05:03):
Like I was telling a story to the comic from Austin.
I was like, yeah, I walked into a small town
gas station with a mask on there, like what.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Are you wearing that pushing guy before? Boy? You gay?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And the comic you didn't like me was just like
I didn't know that was something that gay people did.
I was like, relax, I'm making fun of how people
from Texas think. I don't think this. I know, I
look like I should think this. I just listen, relax,
And then you know, I was trying to. I was
trying to, you know, like make some kind of conversations.
(05:35):
It was just like me, her and one other comic
in there, and the other comic was about to go up,
so they're getting in the zone, and the comic who
didn't like me was just like sitting with headphones on
with her computer in the green room, which I thought
that was a choice, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
It's like, I'm just gonna isolate myself. I just need to.
I'm to have my knee time. I know there's other
people in here, but I'm just gonna have my meat time.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I respect it a little bit, you know, could have
said something like, hey, I'm gonna work on this. But
like I could kind of see what she was doing,
and I was being nosy. I could see like it
looked like she was listening. She had some app on
her computer that would like record, she was recording the
audio from her set because she already went up and
then she was like stopping and then going to a
(06:23):
Google doc and it looked like a set list. So
I was like I kind of like waved at her,
and she took one of her ears of her headphones
off and goes what And I was like, Hey, is
that like an app where you listen to your set
and then like you're writing it down, Like that seems
like a really good way to do that. She was like,
don't worry about it, and put her headphones back on.
I was like, okay, I'll just go fuck myself. I
(06:46):
was like, I don't I don't understand, like, you know,
some people just don't like you. I just thought it
was funny, like if if you don't like me, I'm
gonna keep fucking with you, you know what I mean. Like,
I couldn't do it as much as I wanted to
do it, because that was like her her home club,
and I, you know, as much as she probably already did,
I didn't want her like saying shit to the booker,
(07:08):
the manager being like, yeah, that guy sucks, don't bring
him back because I want to work Zanies again. So
you know, that's always something that can happen, as other
comics will be like you had no fucked, don't let
them back in here if they're like the teacher's pet.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
For the booker.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I've seen it happen before seventeen times in fact. But yeah,
Nashville was cool in general. Got uh had some friends
come out, and then uh, it was a quick turnaround.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I did do some you know, some fat fat people stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I got uh McDonald's on the way down, and then
after the show, I stopped, like I just started getting
hungry because I was thinking, I got leftovers. When I
get home, I can eat that. But I wasn't gonna
get home until like three in the morning. I was like, dude,
I'm starving. So I got McDonald's twice in the same
same span of like eight hours, need of the squatty
(08:01):
potty right after it. But I will say, like McDonald's
is normally, you know, trash, but small town mickey D's
is top tier food.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I'll put it up there with steakhouses. They make it
with love. Anytime you go to a small town McDonald's
there the food tastes like what it was probably supposed
to taste like in the fifties. You know what I mean,
You're like, oh, this is this. I see why McDonald's
is everywhere. They got them all over the place. Man,
I get it. Small town Mickeyd's top tier food. I'll
(08:34):
die on that hill. Speaking of speaking of food, everybody's
mad at Cracker Barrel. It's crazy, Like Republicans are yelling
at them, saying it's woke, Like you took the cracker
out of the barrel, might as well be non buying
near barrel now.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
And then the Democrats jumped in and tweeted.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
For the record, we don't like it either. It felt
like a moment we were finally coming together. You know, I
ain't felt like that since Harambe. Everybody was like, Yeah,
what was that mother doing letting that kid into that enclosure?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
She got a gorilla killed man.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But there's always gonna be someone that comes in and
tries to capitalize on a situation by pitting us against
each other. Steak and Shake starts tweeting about Cracker Barrel
out of knowe. It was tweeting like Kanye in the
middle of the night, like nobody cares about us, this
is our moment. Steak and Chick comes in, like do
you remember what it felt like to have segregated tables.
(09:29):
That's what we're trying to preserve. Its Steak and Shake.
By the way, do you know we have beef tallow fries.
That's what they did. They came in.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You can go look at their Twitter page.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
They rattled off like twenty different tweets about Cracker Barrel
and by the way, I love eating its Steak and Chick.
The food's good, you know what I mean. You can
get a little hat. But they just saw a moment
to get on one side, to have everybody really fuck
with them, and they took it shameful behavior. I also
like the food at Steak and Chake's good. I like it,
(09:58):
but I also kind of hate Steak and a little
bit because I worked there for like four hours.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
One time.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I went in there in college and I was like, hey, yeah,
I just want to be like a waiter, you know,
because they have dining waiters. And the guy was like, yeah,
no problem, we'll get you trained up tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Come on in.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Here's your apron, here's your hat, blah blah blah. I
get in there. They got me making milkshakes and I
was like, dude, I came here to be a waiter,
and they were.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Like, you have to start with the milkshakes first. It
was this guy Devin. He had a hunchback.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
He was yelling at me for three fucking hours because
I wouldn't put in the butterfinger crumbles in the right
place it's supposed to be the butterfingle crumbles, and then
the caramel.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
You kind of put the carmo first.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And I was like, you know what, fuck this, I'm
not working at Steak and Check over, where are you going?
I was like, it's steak and chake. Who cares, dude?
I just I don't know. That's my personal experience. But
outside of that, I don't understand how you can get
mad at it, like.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
A food place arrest.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Everything's going and looking the same now anyway, you know
what I mean. Looks like everything's been pixied from the
fairly OddParents.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Timmy Turna, you've summoned the pixies.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I get like everything nice from childhood is gone. But
you can't be going crazy about fast food. I saw
some guy tweeted. He was like, I found Jesus in
a steak and shake parking lot, and.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
They're tearing apart my core memory right now.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It's like, dude, you found Jesus in a steak and
shake parking lot. That's insane. Also, who cares if the
cracker and Cracker Barrel's not on the picture? Cracker Barrels
did come out yesterday and they issued kind of an apology.
They're like, our promise to you, we will keep Uncle
(11:48):
Herschel in our branding. By the way, I ain't know
that guy. The cracker on Cracker Barrel's name was Uncle herschel.
We will keep him in our branding, on our menus,
on in store items, but he will not be on
the logo. They were like, yeah, we we kind of
fucked up, but we're not admitting it all the way.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It was just the whole thing is goofy.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Man, Like, if you're you're getting angry about what cracker
Barrel's doing, you're either living too good of a life
or too bad of a life.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Because if the only thing you have in wife to
complain about is cracker Barrel taking the cracker off the
sign you got a good life, you know, no other problems,
You're just.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Like, nah, fuck, what are they do it? You know,
you're not.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Worrying about paying bills. Uh, you got a good job,
I guess. But what more likely probably is you're living
too bad of a life where you have too many problems.
You know, bills are piling up, your kids probably don't
talk to you anymore. You've made You've made some decisions
(12:56):
with your personality that have backed you into a corner
and now you have to agree with the same kind
of people on the internet to feel like you're doing
the right thing.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
But that's neither here nor there. We don't need to
get into that kind of stuff. Man.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I had a fun weekend, though, me and names chilled. Saturday,
she got back from more Wandow hanging out with her
parents and seeing the mouse, and then Sunday we went out.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
My boss invited us to.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Bingo at like this old military place it's called like
the American Legion, And I was like, yeah, I haven't
like actually played Bengo. I think I played Bengo in
elementary school, like you know, is one of the end
of the year things, or when the teacher was too
hungover to teach, Like Okay, we're gonna do Bengo. So
I didn't I didn't know what we were doing. Okay,
(13:45):
I thought you wanted Bengo, like you get your sheet.
If you get five things in a row, then you
win some money. It's not that they have so many
different ways you can get Bengo. There's like nine different game.
We're there for four hours playing Bengo, and like the
first hour you're trying to figure out what's going on.
And like everybody in there was pretty nice, you know
(14:07):
what I mean, Like people saw that we were stupid.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
They were looking at our table, like do you need
hail pani?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Okay, well a cluster is and it for next to
each other, and you gotta get a cluster Bengo for
this one.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
So look for four and then a run of five. Okay,
you got that, sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
And I'm like, oh man, I ride the short bus
in this place.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It was tough.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
It was tough, but there was one round where it
was one of like the weird ones. It was like
Winner's Choice Bengo, where you gotta have like seventeen different
things happen. But I realized I wasn't confident, but I
realized that I think I had Bengo. So I'm like
looking at it and I'm really looking at it, and
another ball passes and a couple of people shout Bengo,
(14:50):
and I was like, fuck it, I'm gonna try it.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
So I was like bingo.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
By the way, no more exhilarating feeling than yelling bingo
when you it in like a bingo hall.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I was like looking around, like pay me my money,
and I turn it in the way he looks at
my things.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
She was like, yep, we're just gonna go confirm it.
Good job, honey, They're like, you.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Got one, you dumb ass, and then uh, they like
run it. They have all the Bingo cards have like
a scanner, so they run the barcode and then it
goes up and like checks to see what you have.
And everybody was like, that's good bingo. And then people
in the crowd were paying attention, they go.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Oh, B nine was the last number that was called.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
He don't have B nine on his And I was
like what and the like there was such commotion going on.
I thought we were about to get jumped. I was like,
what the fuck is going on? And this lady walks
back over with my bingo sheet and goes, hey, so
you have to call bingo when and when you have it.
If it goes on to the next ball, that's like
(15:55):
the next round, it doesn't count anymore. I was like,
I lost out one hundred and fifty bucks and Margaret
and Susan got to take my money.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
They split my money.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Do you think they gave me any for being dumb
and wtting them win some money.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
No, didn't even give me.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Ten percent, which is crazy because they would have won
jack shit. Had I been paying attention, I would have
thrown I would have thrown me at ten.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'd have thrown me at tenor but that was out
of the question.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Was it was still fun though, went to the bathroom,
like they map out, they have like a schedule of
like all the bingo games, and they tell you when
like the five and ten minute breaks are so.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
You can go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I walk into the bathroom and it's old like American
Veterans' plays. And at the urinals they had this thing
that said Hanoy Jane Target pissed target and so a
Vietnamese lady that you were supposed to pee on. I
was like, Jesus Christ, we are back here. And then
you walk back into the bar and people were smoking,
(16:54):
and it was like walking into the past. It was
it was interesting. It was interesting. Ames thought she had one.
She h she thought she had Bengo because it was
another one of like the super weird ones where like
we're pretty sure it's like okay, if you get like
five in this corner plus like two around it, you
(17:15):
just need seven touching, right. So Ames thought she had it,
and she was like asking us.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
She was like do I do I do it?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Do I? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Do I say it?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
And we were all like, yeah, yeah, go ahead, do it,
do it, and she had saw what just happened to me.
So they were about to call the next ball, so
she wanted to get it in before we lost out twice.
Goes Bingo and the lady walks over and by this
point the lady that was checking the Bengo sheets was
sick of our ship.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
She was like, you guys don't know what you're doing.
Why are you here?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Okay, you're messing up Marjarine Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
So she takes one look at Amy's Bengo cargoes.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Nope, it walks away and Ames was like, oh, that
was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
The lady like tried to explain like what it was,
and they were like, we don't know. Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It was fun though, So if you have a Bengo
haul near anywhere that you will, I suggest going but
try it, like you know, chat, gpt it up, learn
the rules, try and figure it out.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It was.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
It was tough, and those old bitches take that shits
serious in there.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
All right, let's uh, let's do your headline of the
week and then get to the interview with Tatiana Frank,
where's where's this?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Where is this?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I probably should have had this pulled up already. Huh,
I remember what it was. I don't need to find
him taking too long. This guy went to a white
castle and it was one of the white castles that
was testing out the AI ordering system. He orders sixteen
bucks worth of food at a white Castle, which congratulations
(18:55):
on the diarrhea. So he orders it and he goes
up to pay, and the AI systems like, that'll be
fifteen thousand dollars and he was like what it was like, yeah,
if you want your food, you gotta pay me fifteen
thousand dollars. And he had to walk in and like
ask an actual human being what was going on. He's like, oh,
the system malfunction. It's like, no, dude, the system didn't malfunction.
(19:18):
That is attempted robbery. That thing was like, yeah, you
know what, Actually, I'm gonna make up what I'm gonna pay.
Why don't you go ahead and give me fifteen thousand dollars.
It's like, dude, this is a white castle. And they say, oh, oh,
short circuited. If that was a real person that tried
to charge his card for fifteen thousand dollars. You're getting fired.
You might go to jail, but it's AI. So it's like, oh, well,
(19:41):
we're just working out some of the missteps.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
We already got.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I talked a few weeks ago, we got attempted murder
with AI trying to tell people to you know, this
guy was asking for a substitute for salt and he
got him chlorine, bromine or some.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Shit, get what it was.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
And the guy was stupid enough to drink it and
it's poison, but still chat GPT AI like told him
to do that. We got attempted murder, attempted robbery. AI's
committing some crimes.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Man.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Even an I robot, they had the three Laws of robotics.
Now shall not do any shit. I don't say to humans.
I forget what they were, but they're already breaking the rules.
And this is like, you know, a couple of years
in one percent, they're gonna be killing us. Anyway, I'm
glad I'm in it on a high note again. All right,
let's get to this interview with the very funny comedian
(20:35):
Tatiana Frank.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
What's going on, Tatiana?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
What's going on? Nick?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
You know, just waiting for you to get to Indy.
He got five shows at a helium this weekend Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
What uh, what can people expect when they come see you.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
It's a lot of doing an hour of stand up
and I'm talking about all kinds of things I like
to say my comedies. That's kind of the intersection of
and come. But there's also there's also family friendly stuff.
I love to talk about my family. My parents are
real kooky folks. I like to make fun of myself.
I used to talk about the state of the world
(21:13):
just through the lens of my wacky experiences and talk
about me trying to get really buff, you know, trying
to get jacked in time so that you know, if
I'm walking home alone at night and a guy sees
me and then he sees my muscles, he'll think gross.
So you know, it's it's that kind of thing, just
(21:34):
be being a woman. But also I think a lot
of men love my comedy too that come out, So
I think it's it's for everybody.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Man.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I want to go now at the intersection that isn't come. Yeah,
So you're this is going to be the second stop
on your dial Own tour.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
How was good night?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
So?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Did you have good crowds there?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It was so fun. That was in Raleigh. It was
my first time there. I didn't know what to expect,
but everyone after the show came up to me and
they said they have such a good time and that
my stuff was super relatable. So I think that's the
best thing I can I could hear is I'm like,
are these people going to relate to half the stuff
I'm talking about? And apparently, you know, geography doesn't really matter.
It's just human life stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
So yeah, that's awesome and it's cool. Like once you
realize you go everywhere, it's like, oh, people are just
people everywhere.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
It's just some people sound weird. Yeah, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I'm hoping I have accent by the time I'm done.
I want. I don't know. I don't really have anything
going for me right now on my accent department, but.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
You could do.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
We got a little mix a Southern accent and Midwest
accent up here, so you might you might pick up something.
It will either be nasally or twangy, so you'll you'll Yeah,
how uh, how'd you come up with the dialog name?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
For your tour.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Is that something you're scared about or you're just like,
now I'm going to die alone because I have these
huge muscles and I can just beat up everything.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, I think it's something I used to be scared
of and now I'm embracing. I realized twenty twenty five,
there's a lot of talk about loneliness. It sounds like,
I mean, they're saying like fifty percent of people between
the age like twenty ford to forty four are going
to be single in the next two years. So I'm
(23:25):
going to be at least not alone in my misery.
So I think I encourage people to come out. You know,
usually when you're selling a tour, you try to encourage people.
Bring your friends, bring your family, sell as many tickets
as possible. I'm telling people come alone, come alone, laugh alone,
die alone. It's fine. You could sit in the front
row and I won't make fun of you. I might
(23:47):
talk to you a little bit. But yeah, I think
people are lonely. And also as a woman, I think
it's something that people like to use. I have two cats.
Some people like to say, oh, you're going to be
a cat lady, You're going to die alone if you
don't shape up or you know whatever. And so I'm like, well,
I'm looking forward to it. So is that a promise
or when when you know? I get harassed a lot?
(24:09):
So when does the lone parts?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
When do I stop getting Yeah that is hilarious. Well,
I'm glad to see that you're helping deal with the
loneliness epidemic. And also I appreciate you bringing up the
fact that the male loneliness epidemic is definitely something that
we need to be focused on as a country. Uh no,
(24:32):
HOSE nineteen is something that we need to we need
to come together as a society and figure out how
to fix.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
So I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, it's contagious, but it's scary because it's the first
epidemic that's spread through no contact. So I don't know
how we stop something like that.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
You got to stand closer than six feet is cool?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, exactly. We need to learn how to how to
touch and talk to each other and U.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
So, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I h can you tell me how you decided to
come up with your I don't I don't want to
call it just a YouTube show, but I saw it
on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I thought thought daughter. That was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, the last episode where you were talking about how
to talk to women and you found that guy. That
guy was insane. How did you just walk up to
him and start talking or how.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Did that happen?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah? Well so the show I did a web show,
No shame in that. It's definitely not on television yet.
But uh, it's called thought. It's kind of an internet terms.
It comes from this famous uh question, which is like,
would you rather have a gay son or a thought daughter?
You know, a thought meaning uh, promiscuous, And I just
(25:46):
changed the words to thought like to think. Uh. It's
it's like a term for a girl that likes to
think a lot, maybe too much. I'm one of those girls.
So uh so I'm a thought daughter and uh. And
I I'm very interested in the in the world of
like I said, loneliness. And I think that there used
to be this trend of like male dating coaches. I mean,
(26:07):
now we have these influencers that are just telling people like, listen,
you got to make a million bucks, have abs and
drad a Lamborghini. And I don't think that's true. Me
and most of them, and I know the men we
date are very broke and very So I don't know
where this is coming from, but I wanted to. I
wanted to have a firsthand experience with one of these
guys in real life, like these guys that are going
(26:27):
out and telling these other dudes what they have to
do to pick up women. And I thought it would
be funny. Well, what if they were giving me the
advice as a woman, would they give me the same
advice that they're giving these dudes to pick up women?
And so I found this guy on Craiglist. He advertises
himself as a pickup artist. He teaches men how to
go out into the world and he'll take men to
a grocery store. He charges seventy five bucks an hour,
(26:49):
which I had to pay and uh and uh. And
he didn't know I was a woman. He didn't even
ask my name. He was just like, Bro, I got you.
You're gonna meet me at the grocery store at this time,
at this place, and we're gonna pick up so many
ladies you're going to be swimming in it, you know.
And I was like, cool, bro, can't wait. And he's
great because he also like braggs about his stuff. You know,
(27:12):
I think he really wants to impress the students. He's
such a character. But I didn't know what was gonna happen.
It was hidden camera, so I could have showed up
and he could have been like, screw you. You know
you're a woman, what is this about? But instead, yeah,
he was like, you're my first female client. I was
like yeah, And then it's funny he didn't know about
(27:33):
we were that I was recording, but we picked up
a bunch of women. I got a few numbers I got.
I got a ton of rejection, and that's ultimately what
the episode was about, was like I get rejected too
as a woman. I've I've approached men and women in
his life and I've gotten rejected so many times. It's
it's so normal. But uh, he was a character. And
he's texted me multiple times since he's like, we gotta
(27:55):
go out cruising. We got to go pick up some chicks.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
And I don't know what cruising is.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
He's like, this weekend's gonna be crazy. It's it's Mother's Day.
I don't know. He told me he recently. He was like,
we can go out. I won't even charge you. Not
really warmed my heart.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, just finding Love there you go, Yes, that that
needs to just be made into a movie. It's like Hitch,
but the other way around. You're not Kevin James.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I know you're so right. I mean, he's his whole
back so interesting. I didn't want to put all his
laundry out there, but the stuff he was telling me
was so fascinating about his life. But yeah, maybe a movie.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well, I know we're excited to see it this weekend
at Helium.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
You got five shows. I know you're gonna murder. We'll
pack it out.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
You can get tickets at helium dot com. Is there
anything you want to hype up for? I let you go.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I mean, I'm just so excited to come to Indiana.
I'm about to go to the airport now and get there.
And I hear that the corn is good. No one
can tell me what there is to do there. I
go to the Court Vonnicat Museum. I don't know, but
it comes. If there's nothing to do there. You guys
really have no excuse to not come to these shows
because I'm apparently the biggest attraction I think this weekend. No,
(29:16):
but I really it's a fun show people laugh the
whole time, and afterwards I hang out and I like
to talk to people and stuff, so I love to
meet people that come to the shows and hear what
they think. So please come out. I love to meet you.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Think he's having me on the show.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Nice to call money for Go Money for Go Money
Speaker 1 (29:32):
For Go Money
I still speaking that that should not have made it
to the rest of us thoughts or.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Chuck check check Welcome back. I hope you're having a
good day, good start to the week. I got a
cool interview for you at the end of the podcast,
comedian Tatiana Frank. She was recently coming through Indianapolis. Sure
she killed it. You'll get to hear that. How you doing, Yeah,
feeling good? His life is life great. I'm feeling pretty good.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Aimes made a pretty big decision for the both of us,
and I gotta be honest, I wasn't on board at first.
I am one hundred percent with it, and it's one
of the best things I've ever gotten to experience. She
ordered us a squatty potty from the toilet. It's so amazing.
(01:01):
Like you know when you get talking to somebody and
they kind of drop the fact that they're rich and
they're like.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I have a bidet. It's from Japan. It's kind
of like that where.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I I get it now, Like I understand how life
changing it is because sometimes you know, you know you
gotta go, but it's just it's not it's not coming.
You miss your moment by a little bit it's not
working out. You're running behind. Now you're like, oh.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Wow, it's gonna be an all day thing. I'm gonna
be feeling.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Squatty potty gets you in the crouch position like we
were supposed to be when we were a cave man.
You know, like when you just squat anywhere and take
a dump. That's what it does. It's awesome as just
telling me, she's.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Like avoided us a squatty party. You know. It's like,
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Like I'm not saying this to be mean, but I
just feel like if we have a squatty potty, I'm
gonna feel kind of like handicap or something like you
know what I mean, Like one of my legs doesn't work.
I gotta get it up there, like I can't poop
by myself. I think it was just like the dumb
guy energy I have in me. Part of me was like,
you know, if I use a squatty potty, I'm not
I'm not a man.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I need I need something to help me poop. But
I gotta be honest. It is. It's life changing.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's funny because I feel like an old person and
a child at the same time. You know, because you're
using the squatty potty, you're popping your feet up.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's like one of those shower seats. You get too old,
you don't want to swip, you gotta sit down. That's
that's kind of what it feels like. But also like
I can put my feet up on it and you know,
swing my legs a little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I feel like a five year old.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I just you know, I poop it out by myself.
My parents are like, yeah, that's good. Okay, Remember wipe
your butt all the way all the way. So if
you're thinking about squatty potty, if you're on the fence
about it, I'd go ahead and do it.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Conversations I never thought I would have, But now I'm
thirty two, and this is the stuff that gets me excited. Man,
Like twenty one year old me, if you had told him, hey, dude,
eleven years from now, you're gonna be getting hyped about
a squatty potty.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Oh dude, that's stupid. I suck.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
But now I'm like, now, twenty one year old Nick,
he was dumb. He was going to the bars and
drinking all the time. He didn't have to worry about
a squatty potty because.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It just peed out.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
But we take our fiber tablets, we eat fruits, vegetables,
and we use our squatty potty high functioning over here.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, so I've just I've been a good mood. Had
a great week. The show in Nashville, its Aanies last
week went well. It was kind of funny. I had
to like work a little bit, Like that was the
first time in a while I had to like really
work to get some laughs because I was the only
guy on the UH on the lineup, so already, you know,
(04:02):
it was an audience mostly left leaning women, and I
don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I just I know what I look like.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know, I come out there and I look like
I think terrible shit about other human beings. So already
they're looking at me arms crossed, like.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Nope, whatever you said, it's not funny. But I got them.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Took me, took me a few minutes, but I got
him and it felt good. But it was funny being
in that green room because everybody in there was like
super cool, except this one comic was just I don't
know what I did to her. She was just anything
I said. She was like, nope, fuck you. I was like, okay. Like,
(04:41):
there was this one comic from Austin that was on
the show and we got to talking about Texas and
I was like, yeah, I used to live there for
a little bit. And we started talking about the pandemic
and stuff like that, and I was like, dude, Texas
was wild, cause you know, you'd think you'd be following
the rules and people get mad at you for it.
(05:03):
Like I was telling a story to the comic from Austin.
I was like, yeah, I walked into a small town
gas station with a mask on there, like what.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Are you wearing that pushing guy before? Boy? You gay?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And the comic you didn't like me was just like
I didn't know that was something that gay people did.
I was like, relax, I'm making fun of how people
from Texas think. I don't think this. I know, I
look like I should think this. I just listen, relax,
And then you know, I was trying to. I was
trying to, you know, like make some kind of conversations.
(05:35):
It was just like me, her and one other comic
in there, and the other comic was about to go up,
so they're getting in the zone, and the comic who
didn't like me was just like sitting with headphones on
with her computer in the green room, which I thought
that was a choice, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
It's like, I'm just gonna isolate myself. I just need to.
I'm to have my knee time. I know there's other
people in here, but I'm just gonna have my meat time.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I respect it a little bit, you know, could have
said something like, hey, I'm gonna work on this. But
like I could kind of see what she was doing,
and I was being nosy. I could see like it
looked like she was listening. She had some app on
her computer that would like record, she was recording the
audio from her set because she already went up and
then she was like stopping and then going to a
(06:23):
Google doc and it looked like a set list. So
I was like I kind of like waved at her,
and she took one of her ears of her headphones
off and goes what And I was like, Hey, is
that like an app where you listen to your set
and then like you're writing it down, Like that seems
like a really good way to do that. She was like,
don't worry about it, and put her headphones back on.
I was like, okay, I'll just go fuck myself. I
(06:46):
was like, I don't I don't understand, like, you know,
some people just don't like you. I just thought it
was funny, like if if you don't like me, I'm
gonna keep fucking with you, you know what I mean. Like,
I couldn't do it as much as I wanted to
do it, because that was like her her home club,
and I, you know, as much as she probably already did,
I didn't want her like saying shit to the booker,
(07:08):
the manager being like, yeah, that guy sucks, don't bring
him back because I want to work Zanies again. So
you know, that's always something that can happen, as other
comics will be like you had no fucked, don't let
them back in here if they're like the teacher's pet.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
For the booker.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I've seen it happen before seventeen times in fact. But yeah,
Nashville was cool in general. Got uh had some friends
come out, and then uh, it was a quick turnaround.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I did do some you know, some fat fat people stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I got uh McDonald's on the way down, and then
after the show, I stopped, like I just started getting
hungry because I was thinking, I got leftovers. When I
get home, I can eat that. But I wasn't gonna
get home until like three in the morning. I was like, dude,
I'm starving. So I got McDonald's twice in the same
same span of like eight hours, need of the squatty
(08:01):
potty right after it. But I will say, like McDonald's
is normally, you know, trash, but small town mickey D's
is top tier food.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I'll put it up there with steakhouses. They make it
with love. Anytime you go to a small town McDonald's
there the food tastes like what it was probably supposed
to taste like in the fifties. You know what I mean,
You're like, oh, this is this. I see why McDonald's
is everywhere. They got them all over the place. Man,
I get it. Small town Mickeyd's top tier food. I'll
(08:34):
die on that hill. Speaking of speaking of food, everybody's
mad at Cracker Barrel. It's crazy, Like Republicans are yelling
at them, saying it's woke, Like you took the cracker
out of the barrel, might as well be non buying
near barrel now.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
And then the Democrats jumped in and tweeted.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
For the record, we don't like it either. It felt
like a moment we were finally coming together. You know, I
ain't felt like that since Harambe. Everybody was like, Yeah,
what was that mother doing letting that kid into that enclosure?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
She got a gorilla killed man.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But there's always gonna be someone that comes in and
tries to capitalize on a situation by pitting us against
each other. Steak and Shake starts tweeting about Cracker Barrel
out of knowe. It was tweeting like Kanye in the
middle of the night, like nobody cares about us, this
is our moment. Steak and Chick comes in, like do
you remember what it felt like to have segregated tables.
(09:29):
That's what we're trying to preserve. Its Steak and Shake.
By the way, do you know we have beef tallow fries.
That's what they did. They came in.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You can go look at their Twitter page.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
They rattled off like twenty different tweets about Cracker Barrel
and by the way, I love eating its Steak and Chick.
The food's good, you know what I mean. You can
get a little hat. But they just saw a moment
to get on one side, to have everybody really fuck
with them, and they took it shameful behavior. I also
like the food at Steak and Chake's good. I like it,
(09:58):
but I also kind of hate Steak and a little
bit because I worked there for like four hours.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
One time.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I went in there in college and I was like, hey, yeah,
I just want to be like a waiter, you know,
because they have dining waiters. And the guy was like, yeah,
no problem, we'll get you trained up tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Come on in.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Here's your apron, here's your hat, blah blah blah. I
get in there. They got me making milkshakes and I
was like, dude, I came here to be a waiter,
and they were.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Like, you have to start with the milkshakes first. It
was this guy Devin. He had a hunchback.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
He was yelling at me for three fucking hours because
I wouldn't put in the butterfinger crumbles in the right
place it's supposed to be the butterfingle crumbles, and then
the caramel.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
You kind of put the carmo first.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And I was like, you know what, fuck this, I'm
not working at Steak and Check over, where are you going?
I was like, it's steak and chake. Who cares, dude?
I just I don't know. That's my personal experience. But
outside of that, I don't understand how you can get
mad at it, like.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
A food place arrest.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Everything's going and looking the same now anyway, you know
what I mean. Looks like everything's been pixied from the
fairly OddParents.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Timmy Turna, you've summoned the pixies.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I get like everything nice from childhood is gone. But
you can't be going crazy about fast food. I saw
some guy tweeted. He was like, I found Jesus in
a steak and shake parking lot, and.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
They're tearing apart my core memory right now.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It's like, dude, you found Jesus in a steak and
shake parking lot. That's insane. Also, who cares if the
cracker and Cracker Barrel's not on the picture? Cracker Barrels
did come out yesterday and they issued kind of an apology.
They're like, our promise to you, we will keep Uncle
(11:48):
Herschel in our branding. By the way, I ain't know
that guy. The cracker on Cracker Barrel's name was Uncle herschel.
We will keep him in our branding, on our menus,
on in store items, but he will not be on
the logo. They were like, yeah, we we kind of
fucked up, but we're not admitting it all the way.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It was just the whole thing is goofy.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Man, Like, if you're you're getting angry about what cracker
Barrel's doing, you're either living too good of a life
or too bad of a life.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Because if the only thing you have in wife to
complain about is cracker Barrel taking the cracker off the
sign you got a good life, you know, no other problems,
You're just.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Like, nah, fuck, what are they do it? You know,
you're not.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Worrying about paying bills. Uh, you got a good job,
I guess. But what more likely probably is you're living
too bad of a life where you have too many problems.
You know, bills are piling up, your kids probably don't
talk to you anymore. You've made You've made some decisions
(12:56):
with your personality that have backed you into a corner
and now you have to agree with the same kind
of people on the internet to feel like you're doing
the right thing.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
But that's neither here nor there. We don't need to
get into that kind of stuff. Man.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I had a fun weekend, though, me and names chilled. Saturday,
she got back from more Wandow hanging out with her
parents and seeing the mouse, and then Sunday we went out.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
My boss invited us to.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Bingo at like this old military place it's called like
the American Legion, And I was like, yeah, I haven't
like actually played Bengo. I think I played Bengo in
elementary school, like you know, is one of the end
of the year things, or when the teacher was too
hungover to teach, Like Okay, we're gonna do Bengo. So
I didn't I didn't know what we were doing. Okay,
(13:45):
I thought you wanted Bengo, like you get your sheet.
If you get five things in a row, then you
win some money. It's not that they have so many
different ways you can get Bengo. There's like nine different game.
We're there for four hours playing Bengo, and like the
first hour you're trying to figure out what's going on.
And like everybody in there was pretty nice, you know
(14:07):
what I mean, Like people saw that we were stupid.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
They were looking at our table, like do you need
hail pani?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Okay, well a cluster is and it for next to
each other, and you gotta get a cluster Bengo for
this one.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
So look for four and then a run of five. Okay,
you got that, sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
And I'm like, oh man, I ride the short bus
in this place.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It was tough.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
It was tough, but there was one round where it
was one of like the weird ones. It was like
Winner's Choice Bengo, where you gotta have like seventeen different
things happen. But I realized I wasn't confident, but I
realized that I think I had Bengo. So I'm like
looking at it and I'm really looking at it, and
another ball passes and a couple of people shout Bengo,
(14:50):
and I was like, fuck it, I'm gonna try it.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
So I was like bingo.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
By the way, no more exhilarating feeling than yelling bingo
when you it in like a bingo hall.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I was like looking around, like pay me my money,
and I turn it in the way he looks at
my things.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
She was like, yep, we're just gonna go confirm it.
Good job, honey, They're like, you.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Got one, you dumb ass, and then uh, they like
run it. They have all the Bingo cards have like
a scanner, so they run the barcode and then it
goes up and like checks to see what you have.
And everybody was like, that's good bingo. And then people
in the crowd were paying attention, they go.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Oh, B nine was the last number that was called.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
He don't have B nine on his And I was
like what and the like there was such commotion going on.
I thought we were about to get jumped. I was like,
what the fuck is going on? And this lady walks
back over with my bingo sheet and goes, hey, so
you have to call bingo when and when you have it.
If it goes on to the next ball, that's like
(15:55):
the next round, it doesn't count anymore. I was like,
I lost out one hundred and fifty bucks and Margaret
and Susan got to take my money.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
They split my money.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Do you think they gave me any for being dumb
and wtting them win some money.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
No, didn't even give me.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Ten percent, which is crazy because they would have won
jack shit. Had I been paying attention, I would have
thrown I would have thrown me at ten.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I'd have thrown me at tenor but that was out
of the question.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Was it was still fun though, went to the bathroom,
like they map out, they have like a schedule of
like all the bingo games, and they tell you when
like the five and ten minute breaks are so.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
You can go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I walk into the bathroom and it's old like American
Veterans' plays. And at the urinals they had this thing
that said Hanoy Jane Target pissed target and so a
Vietnamese lady that you were supposed to pee on. I
was like, Jesus Christ, we are back here. And then
you walk back into the bar and people were smoking,
(16:54):
and it was like walking into the past. It was
it was interesting. It was interesting. Ames thought she had one.
She h she thought she had Bengo because it was
another one of like the super weird ones where like
we're pretty sure it's like okay, if you get like
five in this corner plus like two around it, you
(17:15):
just need seven touching, right. So Ames thought she had it,
and she was like asking us.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
She was like do I do I do it?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Do I? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Do I say it?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
And we were all like, yeah, yeah, go ahead, do it,
do it, and she had saw what just happened to me.
So they were about to call the next ball, so
she wanted to get it in before we lost out twice.
Goes Bingo and the lady walks over and by this
point the lady that was checking the Bengo sheets was
sick of our ship.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
She was like, you guys don't know what you're doing.
Why are you here?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Okay, you're messing up Marjarine Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
So she takes one look at Amy's Bengo cargoes.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Nope, it walks away and Ames was like, oh, that
was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
The lady like tried to explain like what it was,
and they were like, we don't know. Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
It was fun though, So if you have a Bengo
haul near anywhere that you will, I suggest going but
try it, like you know, chat, gpt it up, learn
the rules, try and figure it out.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
It was.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
It was tough, and those old bitches take that shits
serious in there.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
All right, let's uh, let's do your headline of the
week and then get to the interview with Tatiana Frank,
where's where's this?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Where is this?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I probably should have had this pulled up already. Huh,
I remember what it was. I don't need to find
him taking too long. This guy went to a white
castle and it was one of the white castles that
was testing out the AI ordering system. He orders sixteen
bucks worth of food at a white Castle, which congratulations
(18:55):
on the diarrhea. So he orders it and he goes
up to pay, and the AI systems like, that'll be
fifteen thousand dollars and he was like what it was like, yeah,
if you want your food, you gotta pay me fifteen
thousand dollars. And he had to walk in and like
ask an actual human being what was going on. He's like, oh,
the system malfunction. It's like, no, dude, the system didn't malfunction.
(19:18):
That is attempted robbery. That thing was like, yeah, you
know what, Actually, I'm gonna make up what I'm gonna pay.
Why don't you go ahead and give me fifteen thousand dollars.
It's like, dude, this is a white castle. And they say, oh, oh,
short circuited. If that was a real person that tried
to charge his card for fifteen thousand dollars. You're getting fired.
You might go to jail, but it's AI. So it's like, oh, well,
(19:41):
we're just working out some of the missteps.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
We already got.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I talked a few weeks ago, we got attempted murder
with AI trying to tell people to you know, this
guy was asking for a substitute for salt and he
got him chlorine, bromine or some.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Shit, get what it was.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
And the guy was stupid enough to drink it and
it's poison, but still chat GPT AI like told him
to do that. We got attempted murder, attempted robbery. AI's
committing some crimes.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Man.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Even an I robot, they had the three Laws of robotics.
Now shall not do any shit. I don't say to humans.
I forget what they were, but they're already breaking the rules.
And this is like, you know, a couple of years
in one percent, they're gonna be killing us. Anyway, I'm
glad I'm in it on a high note again. All right,
let's get to this interview with the very funny comedian
(20:35):
Tatiana Frank.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
What's going on, Tatiana?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
What's going on? Nick?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
You know, just waiting for you to get to Indy.
He got five shows at a helium this weekend Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
What uh, what can people expect when they come see you.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
It's a lot of doing an hour of stand up
and I'm talking about all kinds of things I like
to say my comedies. That's kind of the intersection of
and come. But there's also there's also family friendly stuff.
I love to talk about my family. My parents are
real kooky folks. I like to make fun of myself.
I used to talk about the state of the world
(21:13):
just through the lens of my wacky experiences and talk
about me trying to get really buff, you know, trying
to get jacked in time so that you know, if
I'm walking home alone at night and a guy sees
me and then he sees my muscles, he'll think gross.
So you know, it's it's that kind of thing, just
(21:34):
be being a woman. But also I think a lot
of men love my comedy too that come out, So
I think it's it's for everybody.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Man.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I want to go now at the intersection that isn't come. Yeah,
So you're this is going to be the second stop
on your dial Own tour.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
How was good night?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
So?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Did you have good crowds there?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
It was so fun. That was in Raleigh. It was
my first time there. I didn't know what to expect,
but everyone after the show came up to me and
they said they have such a good time and that
my stuff was super relatable. So I think that's the
best thing I can I could hear is I'm like,
are these people going to relate to half the stuff
I'm talking about? And apparently, you know, geography doesn't really matter.
It's just human life stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
So yeah, that's awesome and it's cool. Like once you
realize you go everywhere, it's like, oh, people are just
people everywhere.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
It's just some people sound weird. Yeah, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I'm hoping I have accent by the time I'm done.
I want. I don't know. I don't really have anything
going for me right now on my accent department, but.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
You could do.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
We got a little mix a Southern accent and Midwest
accent up here, so you might you might pick up something.
It will either be nasally or twangy, so you'll you'll Yeah,
how uh, how'd you come up with the dialog name?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
For your tour.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Is that something you're scared about or you're just like,
now I'm going to die alone because I have these
huge muscles and I can just beat up everything.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, I think it's something I used to be scared
of and now I'm embracing. I realized twenty twenty five,
there's a lot of talk about loneliness. It sounds like,
I mean, they're saying like fifty percent of people between
the age like twenty ford to forty four are going
to be single in the next two years. So I'm
(23:25):
going to be at least not alone in my misery.
So I think I encourage people to come out. You know,
usually when you're selling a tour, you try to encourage people.
Bring your friends, bring your family, sell as many tickets
as possible. I'm telling people come alone, come alone, laugh alone,
die alone. It's fine. You could sit in the front
row and I won't make fun of you. I might
(23:47):
talk to you a little bit. But yeah, I think
people are lonely. And also as a woman, I think
it's something that people like to use. I have two cats.
Some people like to say, oh, you're going to be
a cat lady, You're going to die alone if you
don't shape up or you know whatever. And so I'm like, well,
I'm looking forward to it. So is that a promise
or when when you know? I get harassed a lot?
(24:09):
So when does the lone parts?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
When do I stop getting Yeah that is hilarious. Well,
I'm glad to see that you're helping deal with the
loneliness epidemic. And also I appreciate you bringing up the
fact that the male loneliness epidemic is definitely something that
we need to be focused on as a country. Uh no,
(24:32):
HOSE nineteen is something that we need to we need
to come together as a society and figure out how
to fix.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
So I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, it's contagious, but it's scary because it's the first
epidemic that's spread through no contact. So I don't know
how we stop something like that.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
You got to stand closer than six feet is cool?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, exactly. We need to learn how to how to
touch and talk to each other and U.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
So, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I h can you tell me how you decided to
come up with your I don't I don't want to
call it just a YouTube show, but I saw it
on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I thought thought daughter. That was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, the last episode where you were talking about how
to talk to women and you found that guy. That
guy was insane. How did you just walk up to
him and start talking or how.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Did that happen?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah? Well so the show I did a web show,
No shame in that. It's definitely not on television yet.
But uh, it's called thought. It's kind of an internet terms.
It comes from this famous uh question, which is like,
would you rather have a gay son or a thought daughter?
You know, a thought meaning uh, promiscuous, And I just
(25:46):
changed the words to thought like to think. Uh. It's
it's like a term for a girl that likes to
think a lot, maybe too much. I'm one of those girls.
So uh so I'm a thought daughter and uh. And
I I'm very interested in the in the world of
like I said, loneliness. And I think that there used
to be this trend of like male dating coaches. I mean,
(26:07):
now we have these influencers that are just telling people like, listen,
you got to make a million bucks, have abs and
drad a Lamborghini. And I don't think that's true. Me
and most of them, and I know the men we
date are very broke and very So I don't know
where this is coming from, but I wanted to. I
wanted to have a firsthand experience with one of these
guys in real life, like these guys that are going
(26:27):
out and telling these other dudes what they have to
do to pick up women. And I thought it would
be funny. Well, what if they were giving me the
advice as a woman, would they give me the same
advice that they're giving these dudes to pick up women?
And so I found this guy on Craiglist. He advertises
himself as a pickup artist. He teaches men how to
go out into the world and he'll take men to
a grocery store. He charges seventy five bucks an hour,
(26:49):
which I had to pay and uh and uh. And
he didn't know I was a woman. He didn't even
ask my name. He was just like, Bro, I got you.
You're gonna meet me at the grocery store at this time,
at this place, and we're gonna pick up so many
ladies you're going to be swimming in it, you know.
And I was like, cool, bro, can't wait. And he's
great because he also like braggs about his stuff. You know,
(27:12):
I think he really wants to impress the students. He's
such a character. But I didn't know what was gonna happen.
It was hidden camera, so I could have showed up
and he could have been like, screw you. You know
you're a woman, what is this about? But instead, yeah,
he was like, you're my first female client. I was
like yeah, And then it's funny he didn't know about
(27:33):
we were that I was recording, but we picked up
a bunch of women. I got a few numbers I got.
I got a ton of rejection, and that's ultimately what
the episode was about, was like I get rejected too
as a woman. I've I've approached men and women in
his life and I've gotten rejected so many times. It's
it's so normal. But uh, he was a character. And
he's texted me multiple times since he's like, we gotta
(27:55):
go out cruising. We got to go pick up some chicks.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
And I don't know what cruising is.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
He's like, this weekend's gonna be crazy. It's it's Mother's Day.
I don't know. He told me he recently. He was like,
we can go out. I won't even charge you. Not
really warmed my heart.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, just finding Love there you go, Yes, that that
needs to just be made into a movie. It's like Hitch,
but the other way around. You're not Kevin James.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I know you're so right. I mean, he's his whole
back so interesting. I didn't want to put all his
laundry out there, but the stuff he was telling me
was so fascinating about his life. But yeah, maybe a movie.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well, I know we're excited to see it this weekend
at Helium.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
You got five shows. I know you're gonna murder. We'll
pack it out.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
You can get tickets at helium dot com. Is there
anything you want to hype up for? I let you go.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I mean, I'm just so excited to come to Indiana.
I'm about to go to the airport now and get there.
And I hear that the corn is good. No one
can tell me what there is to do there. I
go to the Court Vonnicat Museum. I don't know, but
it comes. If there's nothing to do there. You guys
really have no excuse to not come to these shows
because I'm apparently the biggest attraction I think this weekend. No,
(29:16):
but I really it's a fun show people laugh the
whole time, and afterwards I hang out and I like
to talk to people and stuff, so I love to
meet people that come to the shows and hear what
they think. So please come out. I love to meet you.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
