Three good money. You're listening to Shamelessly Chante and I'm
your host, Chante Lundy. So yeah, last year I was
down in Atlanta on a panel. I was a moderator
with comedians and I was already nervous to do this
(00:41):
panel because we weren't in the same space and I'm
not I am funny, but I'm not funny like then
they were on a show. So anyway, it was a
rapper slash comedian and then three comedians from a very
popular show, and as I moderated their panel, they mocked
me the entire panel. It was absolutely awful, like I
(01:05):
became their material. Yeah yeah, And I was just like okay,
like I couldn't wait for this to end. So today
we have a comedian that is going to be on
the show, and let's see how he treats Us Kimberly,
because my expectation is not that he mocks or heckles us.
I hope not no, but I now had this like
(01:28):
disdain and I don't want to say lack of respect
now for comedians and how they treat others. But I'm
very curious on how this man is going to show

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Okay, you're a comedian, yes, Like, how did you find
your way to the world of comedy?
Speaker 5 (04:11):
That's a great question. I always loved it.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
I grew up on Bill Cosby before we knew all that.
Don't put this on me, but that was a massive
Bill Cosby fans, so I grow up on those records.
Also loved Eddie Murphy. I think I watched Raw for
the first time when I was fourteen.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
I was like, can you do his life? I can't.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
I wish I could.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
But to this day, Beverly Hills cop is one of
my all time favorite mine.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Though I love one one, I love.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Thee but two is slept On. One is the best.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I only watched one. I could watch one a thousand
times was great.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
One's a perfect movie. One is a perfect movie. So
I got into it that way.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
What'd you go to arrest me?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
For?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Jay? Walkin the tail Fight? I love what within the
Strip Club. He's making fun of it.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And his head is like this to the shoe. Look,
I'm here with you.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Okay he gets thrown out. That's great.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Uh. So I always was interested in it and then
I kind of wanted to try it in college and
I was like writing a little bit. When I would
get home from a party, I'll be buzzing and feeling
like I'm funny.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
So I'm just like be on my laptop writing some stuff.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
And I was big in to listen to the podcasts,
and I remember I was listening to Donald Glover on
a comedy podcast and I was hearing him describe stand
up and it was so painful to me that I
wasn't doing that because I knew I wasn't like living
my truth or like my honest, like the honest part
of me. It was just just the joy of doing
it and writing those bits and analyzing the world around
(05:43):
you and sharing that with others. And I just knew
that me not trying it would be fundamentally dishonest to
who I am. So I had to jump in and
give it a shot.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And here you are making it. What happens when people
don't laugh at your jokes?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
It depends like do you mean, do I get nervous
or what do you do? So when you start out
is the toughest because you don't know what you're doing
and you have no material. So if you're bombing, you
just bomb right. You have no way out of it.
It's like being dropped in the woods without survival skills.
The bear each you and your dip like there's nothing
that you can do but doing it now, it's there's
different reasons. You can figure out different reasons for not
(06:23):
doing well, so you can kind of course correct. Is
it the audience? Is it something I said? Is it
the topic I picked? Am I it's just just not
funny at all. But I feel like the biggest out
is you just acknowledge that it's not going well because
they want you to do well. So the minute you're
on the same plane of reality as the audience, you go,
y'all hate me, this is trash right right, laugh, and
then you get to reset then they'll listen again. What
(06:46):
people don't want is is this kind of crazy? Does
you have no idea? We hate him and he's not funny.
That's what you don't want, because then you just dig
that hole deeper and you just never you just never recover.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Right, because I tried to laugh, like not like on
purpose for you just name you handle it. Do you
think people do that just to like humble you.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
To not laugh? No, I feel like now you can
pretty you can tell when people are being honest. And
no matter how funny you are, there's always gonna be
somebody in the audience who's just stonefaced, like I've seen Chappelle,
like like people just murder, and there'll always be someone
in the front row.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Just like this is not is that good enough funny?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Well, how do you handle a heckler?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Then?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I mean, yeah, so.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Heckler's It's interesting because a lot of people think anytime
you talk at all during a comedy show, that's a heckler.
But so they'll destroy him or attack him. And a
lot of the time people are just trying to interact
and are bonding. Right, So if I tell some story
about my neighbor and they're loud and I hate them, right,
there might be somebody in the front row and I
think that they're talking, they're like, so I think it's me,
(07:53):
my ego, You got to listen to me, like, who's
the idiot in the front row? Without realizing they might
just be going, oh, my god, my neighbor's terrible.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
They just like heed my cover.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
So they're enjoying what you're doing and they're connecting, but
then you're turning them in the entire audience by being like,
shut up, who's the more on in the front row?
And then you just now have lost not only them,
but the entire audience. So the audience kind of tells
you when to destroy a hackler, Like if somebody's actually
out of pocket, if somebody's way too drunk, if somebody's
actually interrupting the show, or like you're an idiot, you whatever,
(08:26):
then you have full license to go after them, but
you got to make sure otherwise you just look like
a terrible person by just going in on them.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Okay. So usually one of like the top five characteristics
that women look for in a man, yeah, is making
them laugh. Sure, right, Okay, has that helped you in
your relationships?
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Yeah? I feel like, when you have my hairline, you
gotta be funny. Anyway, God took it away?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
What God got get away?
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Some sitcomfer back in the day, I thought it was
so funny. Some guy was bald and he was like,
I lost it in a car accident.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
So so you know, when you like approach a woman,
do you think about, like, hey, I want to see
if I can make her laugh time. Okay, so what
are you going in with? If you're trying to make
a woman that you are interested in, what are you
going in with?
Speaker 6 (09:27):
I feel like I try to be self deprecat. I'll
do something to either make fun of myself or the situation.
I feel like there's some people who try to go
at the other person and like nag or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Be like, forget about the other people.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
For me, I'm just trying to I'm trying to make
fun of myself or the situation. Tell us what you say,
I don't have the same line. You gotta adapt.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well, you're gonna talk about your hairline? Might might Okay, Okay,
that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
I got no dignity, so for me, it's for grabs,
So I'll usually make fun of myself first or break
the eyes some kind of Do you.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Get any pick up lines that way?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Noah, because I feel like that's so cheesy.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Rightly though, Like if somebody came at me, would a
pick up laugh I'm a line. I'm definitely laughing because
we know it's like it's a joke. Yeah, I say,
you know, I'm.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Giving you some trying to put me on what you want.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, I'm a laugh. If you come up to me
and you tell me some cheesy ass line, I'm going
to laugh.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
I feel like I just feel like such an idiot.
Try in that that I would feel uncomfortable, like I
wouldn't feel I would. I would probably come up with
that like nervous, did you know you're the most beautiful?
And I would just I would just look like a
creep and just not have it worked out.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Okay, So the reverse, what if somebody came to you, yeah,
and gave you a pickup line or made in front
of themselves.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I think.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
I think one of the sexiest things is somebody having
a sense of humor. And I feel like if somebody
doesn't I don't laugh, think things are funny, or like
have some kind of perspective and take themselves seriously like
I just don't.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
So you connect with that, You.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Just name something, you just said something, you said you
find this sexy, So what else? Give us three things
that you find sexy about women?
Speaker 6 (11:09):
About women? This feels like such a loaded question. This
feels like how I get canceled.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Let's see what you got.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
I like women who have opinions. It drives me insane
when like friends, co works or whatever, like just don't
talk to or go after women who have strong opinions
or have their own thoughts. They'll just go after women
who are just very vanilla, very just type B. And
I'm like, so, you just don't want to be challenged
at all day. You just want somebody who's going to
(11:38):
validate everything you do. So I like sense of humor.
I like somebody who's smart too. I feel like, look,
life is long, and if the worst is not smart
enough to hold a conversation like, how far are we
really going to get?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (11:54):
So I feel like those are kind of my three.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Only here too?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Did I do three too?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Trying to be ask my way out of So what's
the third one? Okay? So we got sense of humor? Yeah,
we got it, we got intelligence, we got opinions.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Okay, okay, okay, you got it.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Okay, what you look like?
Speaker 5 (12:11):
No, it depends.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
I feel like if I lined up all of my exes,
they were have very little uncommon but if you talk
to them, you go I.
Speaker 4 (12:18):

Speaker 2 (12:49):
The question that we asked, we're the most beautiful women
in the world. Are you a traveler?
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Yeah, let's travel.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Okay, how about in what state?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
What state we're getting?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Be careful, right, because you travel comedy right? Okay? In
what state? Are you finding the most beautiful women?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
All the chante questions feel loaded?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And is it l a seven equivalent to a Miami seven?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
So I've never been to Miami. Okay, I've never been
to Miami. I found women in I mean, obviously.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Women, So it wasn't that first question. What states?
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I feel like I'll get even more specific.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
I'll go city.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
I think the women in Austin are beautiful, and I
feel like they're also.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Very kind of you like Austin, I like Chicago, I
like Atlanta to I like a little bit of artsy
to them. I like, I don't like the really kind
of cookie cutter.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Shave your legs.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Was like what.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
I feel like more with the tattoos they were in
an instance, I'm not opposed to the incents, the ins
of the tarot cards.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
I don't know if I own the nod Yodor though.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Wait so you said Austin first. Yeah, so Austin in Chicago,
in Atlanta, they are very different.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Any of those very very different. You don't have a
specific That's what I was telling you. I want to
talk actually about your show Pretty Confessional, because there really
really interesting. It's basically the audience submitting like anonymous stories
or things about them.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
So we collect anonymous confessions from the audience, throw them
into a bucket, put it on stage. The comedians pull
them out and then riff on them. So we also
have the comics put in their own confession, so everybody's
sort of on the same playing field. And it's fun
because we end up it ends up feeling like a
sleepover where you're sharing stories, sharing secrets, and I just
love seeing what people write and what people think is
(14:52):
a confession, what is legit, what's not? And kind of
the audience together, we kind of decide how we feel.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
About it, which is so you know my next question,
what's the most shocking confession?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
So shocking confession?
Speaker 6 (15:06):
I don't know. It feels like, well, some we've had
a couple of people who have confessed to like manslaughter,
but I don't know if that's legit. I feel like
people are juicing it a little bit and being out
of pocket. One of my favorite ones was we had
a nurse though, and she said for patients, I don't like,
I will intentionally miss the vein a couple of.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Times, so I can. I can stand.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
And I love that because it's so honest, and especially
as somebody who's scared of getting shots, I'm like, that
tracks that you would.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Do that, But no, she liked the patient. That's wild,
So we have that.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
What's funny too, is there they'll usually end up being
a theme naturally, and we get all like wide variety people.
We'll have a twenty one year old couple next to
a sixty year old couple, so we get anybody and everybody,
and they'll usually end up being a theme. Whether it's
a lot of bathroom stories, a lot of cheating stories,
a lot of like.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What have you well, Avery, what's a confession that you
want to give us right now?
Speaker 6 (16:01):
I said pretty much all of mine. It's anonymous chante.
I can't just be putting business. Yeah, one of my
favorites though, you'll like this. We had one show there
was a bunch of women confessing to cheating or just
like I had sex with my boss, I with my landlord.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
And all the women in the audience were like, this
is so funny. They're just laughing.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Ha ha ha ha. And one of the ones we got,
one of them we had from a guy that same
show was for every girl I date, I'll steal a
pair of her underwear, and all of the women and
all of the women were like, no, this is not funny.
We cannot laugh at this. And I was like, two
seconds ago, y'all were laughing about cheating on us, Like
(16:43):
the boss of the.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Landlord's possessions is different.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
But see that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That's like a show on like SVU, Like.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
So that's the guy.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
You're putting him on the watch list, but not the
women cheating with the landlord.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
No, there's nothing to watch out with him. I mean,
unless it's your man. But people that are first of all,
how did you get my panties? Are you going my
draw thy ones?
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Which ones are you taking that? We don't know the
ones that we had on? Like, and then I'm not
putting my panties on What type of woman? Am I?
I got a questions?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
When you realize you're missing your panties, Yeah, you hope.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, unless you're under the influence, you're gonna put your
pennies somewhere, That's right. It's like the first thing you
almost go for is your panties. Sorry, Avery, Yeah, I'm
just trying to connect. Right, it's the first thing you
go unless you came into bed with no panties. What
this is real?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Right?
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Right?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
There's no way that a woman is just like oops,
panties are They're gone?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
You don't even maybe the door quick. Maybe she's like
going like getting out of it. He's got his you
got really quick.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Forget this.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I think he's probably in the drawers or something when
you're looking and taking a souvenir.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And then he takes your period panties.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Oh no, I love it.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
More concerned with the panties are with thee.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, but it's not a sexy because.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Unpopular belief, infidelity is very common.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Okay, Panty stealing is not.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's not panty ceiling is not fair. Okay, wow, Okay,
it's taking a hard line. Avery, I didn't know this
about you. You'd be taking people's panties.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
That was not mine. That was not my confession.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
That's not your confession.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
It's anonymous. So I can't I can't believe.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
What I do think is funny though, is the range
of stuff we will get from people, because well, people
will be like, oh, I I keyed my landlord's car
and booped in it, right, and while other people go, oh,
I cheated on my spelling test in first grade, and
we just think it's so funny that same show. But
this is what people are nervous.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
To share, like I cheated on his spelling, like no
one cares.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Doesn't move the needle, okay, mister monny Haha, Okay, Yes,
When does it get become annoying to your friends and
family and they're like, it's that always trying to be funny?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Avery, that's a great question.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I feel like as a comic you kind of got
to feel that out. And I do turn it off
I'm not just that person trying to be funny and
get attention all the time, because I feel like there's
a time and a place for that, Because I do
think there are some people where it just gets exhausting,
where it's like, is there a real you in there?
Can you be a person? Or is everything including our
(19:29):
relationship a bit? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (19:31):
So I feel like I can do a pretty good
job of turning that off and on.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
But I definitely know some comics where I'm like, dude,
we're literally just in a car, we're in the drive through, like,
let's just check.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Have you done a bit about shameless chante?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
I have? Not is a request for me to do one.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
No, I don't. I don't know how you're gonna portray
us or perceive us, but I'm open. I don't really
get to offend it as long as you're nice.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, yeah, this is full license to bring.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
You into the No.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I don't know, but I think you probably have. You
probably thought of it like, oh, that was a funny
shit that happen, and you just like, you know, you
have a like store because that's how you get bitch right,
Like it's through your experience.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Yes, it is funny.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Though, I will say most people, this is a more
exciting job.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Right. There will be people, though, who you'll be in
the grocery store with them and somebody will drop a bottle,
like a container of milk, and they'll go for are
you gonna put that in the act?
Speaker 5 (20:24):
And I'm like, how boring do you think my life
is that?
Speaker 6 (20:27):
I think through the story about you dropping milk at
Ralph's im like, does the bar you think I got
nothing better than that? Well?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I do have a question though about your material and
how you kind of develop it, So I can't ignore
your shirt. Amazing shirt. They're living in really interesting times
right now politically, and I'm curious do you ever bring
a more serious tone to your work? Do you ever
talk about politics or what's going on around us?
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Yeah, I don't know. I usually don't, just because I
feel like my obligation, first and foremost is to make
somebody laugh, right, So there's a time and a place
to do that. But if I can't see the humor
in something, or if something's too close, then I'm probably
not going to bring that to the stage, right. So
I sort of feel the same way politically. What's going on,
(21:16):
as you'll see a comic up there and they're talking
about a breakup and it just happened, and you can
tell us raw it's not that funny yet, and they're
not comfortable talking about it. So I feel like if
I tried talking politics right now, I would kind of
bring that same energy where it's not fun It's not
funny to me right now.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
It right, it's tragedy plus time equals comedy.

get you upset?
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Like they cut you off? Like Okay, I don't know,
maybe it's an emergency. Like I just don't think being
in the car and being upset is like ever that
serious for me.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Now I'm a crazy person in the car.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I'm a no because we live in crazy times, and
I just don't know what my response to their anger, yeah,
could then create. So I just let it go and
I just keep it going.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I had a guy so in traffic recently. He thought
I cut him off, so he got mad. He flipped
me off and I got in front of him and
I could see him just flipping me off in the
rear view mirror, and I gave him one of these
like I just wait, Yeah, there was nothing funnier than
a than a grown man. I saw him then in
the rear view mirror just give me angry spirit fingers back,
(23:15):
and I was like, bro, you lost.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I got you.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
I drove off.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
I've done Irish goodbyes in my own house. People will
still be partying and I'll just go to bed. I
just tap out. You don't want to break their hearts.
Let them know that you're you're heading out. Let it
be a mystery and then they figure it out.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, where do you go? Where do you go?
Speaker 6 (24:53):

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Usually I'm an Irish goodbye, sneaking out, okay, tick talk
life coach. No, nah nah, dog's not on leashes.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
That drives me and I'm going hard now. I get
that in my neighborhood all the time, where if your
dog is not on a leash and they're trained, that's fine,
good for you. It is one of the time the
person with the untrained dog and the dog. I've had
it where the dog will come up and start like
biting at my ankle and they'll go, oh, I'm sorry,
he just does that. I'm like, well he shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
It's not okay.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Well they'll apologize like, well, it's.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Just you know, it happens.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I'm like, it's not cute.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I got five dogs and I know their temperament and
I would never like allow them to go around people
without That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Ever, definitely enough for me. My my dog was bitten
by a dog off leash. He was trained, So they
say training doesn't always mean safety.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
People who don't like sweets.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Yeah, I'm one of those people.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So you don't like people that don't like sweets.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
So it's not that I don't like sweets, but I
don't know you don't like They're not like my crutch
or my guilty pleasure. Kalas staring at me. She's like
this psycho. Why I fully agree. I'm one of those people.
I could eat a single her she's kiss and be done.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
WEIRDO.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
I know, I know I can eat one oreo and
set it back. I know.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I have other biases I can't share, but that's not
one of them. Different.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I can have one and I'm good.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
So weird, we're lining. I have another question everybody else.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I don't how do you eat yours a whole bunch
or jelly beans a whole bunch or one at a time.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
So I'm more into into chocolate than like the skittles,
but I'm doing I don't want it. Probably one at
the time. I can't do that.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Yes, maybe the sleep if I'm drunk, I'll do them.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
What are you are you like a handful?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Absolutely, because you can't taste a favorite thank you.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
One by one like with the skittles, you're trying to.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Okay socks with slides, I mean with slides is a.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Little bit better. But I grew up with a dad
who wore socks with sandals, so I just cannot this man,
it's it's remarkable that I know how to dress in
any way at all.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
He I'm not saying I can't.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
I'm saying that. You know where I came from.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
My dad, he was okay, No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
My dad would wear socks with sandals tucked into jeans shorts,
and it'd be usually like a big dog T shirt.
That was what he would wear every day, every day though.
That's all that would be. Dressing up would be. He
put a belt on that, that was it.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
That's not my dad, that's not my dad. Okay, but
that it doesn't even count. That doesn't count. That doesn't
count because that's not what I'm talking about. Okay, fake
listening to music with headphones on, so there's no music,
(28:10):
you're faking.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
It every day. No, I never do that, not even
somebody's like trying to talk to you and bugging you.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
No, I'll just say I'm gonna do whatever.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Now I'm a coward.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
I'll tend I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Okay, Yeah, so that's that makes sense for you. But no,
I do it all the time. As soon as I
sit down on the plane, headphones go on, even if
there's no music. Okay. Complimenting strangers, yeah, share it, it's free.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
No, all the time, the time. Absolutely. Absolutely. If I
see somebody and they've got something that I know is
important to them, it's a great look, I'll compliment them.
Mhm okay, okay, PDA in front of your parents, no,
(29:03):
no way. Sometimes filming a concert with your phone.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
No waste of time. Watch the show?
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yes, oh day long?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yes, okay, that was the last one.
Speaker 2 (29:15):

well you were funny though, and you weren't offended.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
And to get the full scoop, tune into shamelessly Chante's
YouTube channel. Are you listening to shamelessly Chante?
Speaker 1 (29:40):

Three good money. You're listening to Shamelessly Chante and I'm
your host, Chante Lundy. So yeah, last year I was
down in Atlanta on a panel. I was a moderator
with comedians and I was already nervous to do this
(00:41):
panel because we weren't in the same space and I'm
not I am funny, but I'm not funny like then
they were on a show. So anyway, it was a
rapper slash comedian and then three comedians from a very
popular show, and as I moderated their panel, they mocked
me the entire panel. It was absolutely awful, like I
(01:05):
became their material. Yeah yeah, And I was just like okay,
like I couldn't wait for this to end. So today
we have a comedian that is going to be on
the show, and let's see how he treats Us Kimberly,
because my expectation is not that he mocks or heckles us.
I hope not no, but I now had this like
(01:28):
disdain and I don't want to say lack of respect
now for comedians and how they treat others. But I'm
very curious on how this man is going to show
up for us today.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
I don't like anything like campari, I don't like and
like apparel, spritz is or I p as.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Okay, you're a comedian, yes, Like, how did you find
your way to the world of comedy?
Speaker 5 (04:11):
That's a great question. I always loved it.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
I grew up on Bill Cosby before we knew all that.
Don't put this on me, but that was a massive
Bill Cosby fans, so I grow up on those records.
Also loved Eddie Murphy. I think I watched Raw for
the first time when I was fourteen.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
I was like, can you do his life? I can't.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
I wish I could.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
But to this day, Beverly Hills cop is one of
my all time favorite mine.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Though I love one one, I love.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Thee but two is slept On. One is the best.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I only watched one. I could watch one a thousand
times was great.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
One's a perfect movie. One is a perfect movie. So
I got into it that way.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
What'd you go to arrest me?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
For?
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Jay? Walkin the tail Fight? I love what within the
Strip Club. He's making fun of it.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And his head is like this to the shoe. Look,
I'm here with you.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Okay he gets thrown out. That's great.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Uh. So I always was interested in it and then
I kind of wanted to try it in college and
I was like writing a little bit. When I would
get home from a party, I'll be buzzing and feeling
like I'm funny.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
So I'm just like be on my laptop writing some stuff.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
And I was big in to listen to the podcasts,
and I remember I was listening to Donald Glover on
a comedy podcast and I was hearing him describe stand
up and it was so painful to me that I
wasn't doing that because I knew I wasn't like living
my truth or like my honest, like the honest part
of me. It was just just the joy of doing
it and writing those bits and analyzing the world around
(05:43):
you and sharing that with others. And I just knew
that me not trying it would be fundamentally dishonest to
who I am. So I had to jump in and
give it a shot.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And here you are making it. What happens when people
don't laugh at your jokes?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
It depends like do you mean, do I get nervous
or what do you do? So when you start out
is the toughest because you don't know what you're doing
and you have no material. So if you're bombing, you
just bomb right. You have no way out of it.
It's like being dropped in the woods without survival skills.
The bear each you and your dip like there's nothing
that you can do but doing it now, it's there's
different reasons. You can figure out different reasons for not
(06:23):
doing well, so you can kind of course correct. Is
it the audience? Is it something I said? Is it
the topic I picked? Am I it's just just not
funny at all. But I feel like the biggest out
is you just acknowledge that it's not going well because
they want you to do well. So the minute you're
on the same plane of reality as the audience, you go,
y'all hate me, this is trash right right, laugh, and
then you get to reset then they'll listen again. What
(06:46):
people don't want is is this kind of crazy? Does
you have no idea? We hate him and he's not funny.
That's what you don't want, because then you just dig
that hole deeper and you just never you just never recover.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Right, because I tried to laugh, like not like on
purpose for you just name you handle it. Do you
think people do that just to like humble you.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
To not laugh? No, I feel like now you can
pretty you can tell when people are being honest. And
no matter how funny you are, there's always gonna be
somebody in the audience who's just stonefaced, like I've seen Chappelle,
like like people just murder, and there'll always be someone
in the front row.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Just like this is not is that good enough funny?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Well, how do you handle a heckler?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Then?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I mean, yeah, so.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
Heckler's It's interesting because a lot of people think anytime
you talk at all during a comedy show, that's a heckler.
But so they'll destroy him or attack him. And a
lot of the time people are just trying to interact
and are bonding. Right, So if I tell some story
about my neighbor and they're loud and I hate them, right,
there might be somebody in the front row and I
think that they're talking, they're like, so I think it's me,
(07:53):
my ego, You got to listen to me, like, who's
the idiot in the front row? Without realizing they might
just be going, oh, my god, my neighbor's terrible.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
They just like heed my cover.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
So they're enjoying what you're doing and they're connecting, but
then you're turning them in the entire audience by being like,
shut up, who's the more on in the front row?
And then you just now have lost not only them,
but the entire audience. So the audience kind of tells
you when to destroy a hackler, Like if somebody's actually
out of pocket, if somebody's way too drunk, if somebody's
actually interrupting the show, or like you're an idiot, you whatever,
(08:26):
then you have full license to go after them, but
you got to make sure otherwise you just look like
a terrible person by just going in on them.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Okay. So usually one of like the top five characteristics
that women look for in a man, yeah, is making
them laugh. Sure, right, Okay, has that helped you in
your relationships?
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Yeah? I feel like, when you have my hairline, you
gotta be funny. Anyway, God took it away?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
What God got get away?
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Some sitcomfer back in the day, I thought it was
so funny. Some guy was bald and he was like,
I lost it in a car accident.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
So so you know, when you like approach a woman,
do you think about, like, hey, I want to see
if I can make her laugh time. Okay, so what
are you going in with? If you're trying to make
a woman that you are interested in, what are you
going in with?
Speaker 6 (09:27):
I feel like I try to be self deprecat. I'll
do something to either make fun of myself or the situation.
I feel like there's some people who try to go
at the other person and like nag or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Be like, forget about the other people.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
For me, I'm just trying to I'm trying to make
fun of myself or the situation. Tell us what you say,
I don't have the same line. You gotta adapt.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well, you're gonna talk about your hairline? Might might Okay, Okay,
that's the thing.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
I got no dignity, so for me, it's for grabs,
So I'll usually make fun of myself first or break
the eyes some kind of Do you.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Get any pick up lines that way?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Noah, because I feel like that's so cheesy.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Rightly though, Like if somebody came at me, would a
pick up laugh I'm a line. I'm definitely laughing because
we know it's like it's a joke. Yeah, I say,
you know, I'm.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Giving you some trying to put me on what you want.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, I'm a laugh. If you come up to me
and you tell me some cheesy ass line, I'm going
to laugh.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
I feel like I just feel like such an idiot.
Try in that that I would feel uncomfortable, like I
wouldn't feel I would. I would probably come up with
that like nervous, did you know you're the most beautiful?
And I would just I would just look like a
creep and just not have it worked out.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Okay, So the reverse, what if somebody came to you, yeah,
and gave you a pickup line or made in front
of themselves.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I think.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
I think one of the sexiest things is somebody having
a sense of humor. And I feel like if somebody
doesn't I don't laugh, think things are funny, or like
have some kind of perspective and take themselves seriously like
I just don't.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
So you connect with that, You.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Just name something, you just said something, you said you
find this sexy, So what else? Give us three things
that you find sexy about women?
Speaker 6 (11:09):
About women? This feels like such a loaded question. This
feels like how I get canceled.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Let's see what you got.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
I like women who have opinions. It drives me insane
when like friends, co works or whatever, like just don't
talk to or go after women who have strong opinions
or have their own thoughts. They'll just go after women
who are just very vanilla, very just type B. And
I'm like, so, you just don't want to be challenged
at all day. You just want somebody who's going to
(11:38):
validate everything you do. So I like sense of humor.
I like somebody who's smart too. I feel like, look,
life is long, and if the worst is not smart
enough to hold a conversation like, how far are we
really going to get?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (11:54):
So I feel like those are kind of my three.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Only here too?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Did I do three too?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Trying to be ask my way out of So what's
the third one? Okay? So we got sense of humor? Yeah,
we got it, we got intelligence, we got opinions.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Okay, okay, okay, you got it.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Okay, what you look like?
Speaker 5 (12:11):
No, it depends.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
I feel like if I lined up all of my exes,
they were have very little uncommon but if you talk
to them, you go I.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Guess if you want to intect your skin quin may

like Atlanta to I like a little bit of artsy
to them. I like, I don't like the really kind
of cookie cutter.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Shave your legs.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Was like what.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
I feel like more with the tattoos they were in
an instance, I'm not opposed to the incents, the ins
of the tarot cards.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
I don't know if I own the nod Yodor though.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Wait so you said Austin first. Yeah, so Austin in Chicago,
in Atlanta, they are very different.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Any of those very very different. You don't have a
specific That's what I was telling you. I want to
talk actually about your show Pretty Confessional, because there really
really interesting. It's basically the audience submitting like anonymous stories
or things about them.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
So we collect anonymous confessions from the audience, throw them
into a bucket, put it on stage. The comedians pull
them out and then riff on them. So we also
have the comics put in their own confession, so everybody's
sort of on the same playing field. And it's fun
because we end up it ends up feeling like a
sleepover where you're sharing stories, sharing secrets, and I just
love seeing what people write and what people think is
(14:52):
a confession, what is legit, what's not? And kind of
the audience together, we kind of decide how we feel.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
About it, which is so you know my next question,
what's the most shocking confession?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
So shocking confession?
Speaker 6 (15:06):
I don't know. It feels like, well, some we've had
a couple of people who have confessed to like manslaughter,
but I don't know if that's legit. I feel like
people are juicing it a little bit and being out
of pocket. One of my favorite ones was we had
a nurse though, and she said for patients, I don't like,
I will intentionally miss the vein a couple of.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Times, so I can. I can stand.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
And I love that because it's so honest, and especially
as somebody who's scared of getting shots, I'm like, that
tracks that you would.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Do that, But no, she liked the patient. That's wild,
So we have that.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
What's funny too, is there they'll usually end up being
a theme naturally, and we get all like wide variety people.
We'll have a twenty one year old couple next to
a sixty year old couple, so we get anybody and everybody,
and they'll usually end up being a theme. Whether it's
a lot of bathroom stories, a lot of cheating stories,
a lot of like.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What have you well, Avery, what's a confession that you
want to give us right now?
Speaker 6 (16:01):
I said pretty much all of mine. It's anonymous chante.
I can't just be putting business. Yeah, one of my
favorites though, you'll like this. We had one show there
was a bunch of women confessing to cheating or just
like I had sex with my boss, I with my landlord.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
And all the women in the audience were like, this
is so funny. They're just laughing.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Ha ha ha ha. And one of the ones we got,
one of them we had from a guy that same
show was for every girl I date, I'll steal a
pair of her underwear, and all of the women and
all of the women were like, no, this is not funny.
We cannot laugh at this. And I was like, two
seconds ago, y'all were laughing about cheating on us, Like
(16:43):
the boss of the.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Landlord's possessions is different.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
But see that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That's like a show on like SVU, Like.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
So that's the guy.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
You're putting him on the watch list, but not the
women cheating with the landlord.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
No, there's nothing to watch out with him. I mean,
unless it's your man. But people that are first of all,
how did you get my panties? Are you going my
draw thy ones?
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Like?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Which ones are you taking that? We don't know the
ones that we had on? Like, and then I'm not
putting my panties on What type of woman? Am I?
I got a questions?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
When you realize you're missing your panties, Yeah, you hope.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, unless you're under the influence, you're gonna put your
pennies somewhere, That's right. It's like the first thing you
almost go for is your panties. Sorry, Avery, Yeah, I'm
just trying to connect. Right, it's the first thing you
go unless you came into bed with no panties. What
this is real?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Right?
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Right?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
There's no way that a woman is just like oops,
panties are They're gone?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
You don't even maybe the door quick. Maybe she's like
going like getting out of it. He's got his you
got really quick.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Forget this.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I think he's probably in the drawers or something when
you're looking and taking a souvenir.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And then he takes your period panties.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Oh no, I love it.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
More concerned with the panties are with thee.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, but it's not a sexy because.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Unpopular belief, infidelity is very common.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Okay, Panty stealing is not.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's not panty ceiling is not fair. Okay, wow, Okay,
it's taking a hard line. Avery, I didn't know this
about you. You'd be taking people's panties.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
That was not mine. That was not my confession.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
That's not your confession.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
It's anonymous. So I can't I can't believe.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
What I do think is funny though, is the range
of stuff we will get from people, because well, people
will be like, oh, I I keyed my landlord's car
and booped in it, right, and while other people go, oh,
I cheated on my spelling test in first grade, and
we just think it's so funny that same show. But
this is what people are nervous.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
To share, like I cheated on his spelling, like no
one cares.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Doesn't move the needle, okay, mister monny Haha, Okay, Yes,
When does it get become annoying to your friends and
family and they're like, it's that always trying to be funny?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Avery, that's a great question.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I feel like as a comic you kind of got
to feel that out. And I do turn it off
I'm not just that person trying to be funny and
get attention all the time, because I feel like there's
a time and a place for that, Because I do
think there are some people where it just gets exhausting,
where it's like, is there a real you in there?
Can you be a person? Or is everything including our
(19:29):
relationship a bit? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (19:31):
So I feel like I can do a pretty good
job of turning that off and on.
Speaker 6 (19:35):
But I definitely know some comics where I'm like, dude,
we're literally just in a car, we're in the drive through, like,
let's just check.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Have you done a bit about shameless chante?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
I have? Not is a request for me to do one.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
No, I don't. I don't know how you're gonna portray
us or perceive us, but I'm open. I don't really
get to offend it as long as you're nice.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, yeah, this is full license to bring.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
You into the No.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I don't know, but I think you probably have. You
probably thought of it like, oh, that was a funny
shit that happen, and you just like, you know, you
have a like store because that's how you get bitch right,
Like it's through your experience.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Yes, it is funny.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Though, I will say most people, this is a more
exciting job.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Right. There will be people, though, who you'll be in
the grocery store with them and somebody will drop a bottle,
like a container of milk, and they'll go for are
you gonna put that in the act?
Speaker 5 (20:24):
And I'm like, how boring do you think my life
is that?
Speaker 6 (20:27):
I think through the story about you dropping milk at
Ralph's im like, does the bar you think I got
nothing better than that? Well?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I do have a question though about your material and
how you kind of develop it, So I can't ignore
your shirt. Amazing shirt. They're living in really interesting times
right now politically, and I'm curious do you ever bring
a more serious tone to your work? Do you ever
talk about politics or what's going on around us?
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Yeah, I don't know. I usually don't, just because I
feel like my obligation, first and foremost is to make
somebody laugh, right, So there's a time and a place
to do that. But if I can't see the humor
in something, or if something's too close, then I'm probably
not going to bring that to the stage, right. So
I sort of feel the same way politically. What's going on,
(21:16):
as you'll see a comic up there and they're talking
about a breakup and it just happened, and you can
tell us raw it's not that funny yet, and they're
not comfortable talking about it. So I feel like if
I tried talking politics right now, I would kind of
bring that same energy where it's not fun It's not
funny to me right now.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
It right, it's tragedy plus time equals comedy.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
We don't. We haven't had the time yet.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
We haven't the time.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
We're still we're still a tragedy a little bit. We're
still going on with that.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Avery. You want to play a game, let's go for it.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Okay, Yes, Avery, I know you know the game. Yes,
so yes or not for our audience if you're listening
for the first time. So I'm gonna ask you a well,
not even a question. I'm going to make a statement,
and then yeah or not, and we're all gonna play.
But we're gonna start with you, Okay, flipping someone off
(22:05):
in the car?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, no way, I don't have road rage and it's
not nice. No, zero and it's not nice and it's
not nice.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
No, what if they start, what if they initiate?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
No, I don't have time for that go on.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, you know what?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
And I have people around me that have like serious roverrage,
and I'm just like, are you letting this person like
get you upset?
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Like they cut you off? Like Okay, I don't know,
maybe it's an emergency. Like I just don't think being
in the car and being upset is like ever that
serious for me.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Now I'm a crazy person in the car.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I'm a no because we live in crazy times, and
I just don't know what my response to their anger, yeah,
could then create. So I just let it go and
I just keep it going.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I had a guy so in traffic recently. He thought
I cut him off, so he got mad. He flipped
me off and I got in front of him and
I could see him just flipping me off in the
rear view mirror, and I gave him one of these
like I just wait, Yeah, there was nothing funnier than
a than a grown man. I saw him then in
the rear view mirror just give me angry spirit fingers back,
(23:15):
and I was like, bro, you lost.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I got you.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
I drove off.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I even do this when somebody lets me over, I'm
definitely put my I will do the wave you're expecting
the window. They are expecting that wave when people let
you in there.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
If I let you give them the wave, where's my wave? Okay, okay,
I'm with you on that.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Pj's on the plane.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Yeah, sweatpants. Pj's on the plane. We're still in public.
I know it's a plane.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Irish goodbyes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I never did it before. So I just I'm gonna
be real by mine. I'm leaving bye.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
I've done Irish goodbyes in my own house. People will
still be partying and I'll just go to bed. I
just tap out. You don't want to break their hearts.
Let them know that you're you're heading out. Let it
be a mystery and then they figure it out.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, where do you go? Where do you go?
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Usually I'm an Irish goodbye, sneaking out, okay, tick talk
life coach. No, nah nah, dog's not on leashes.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
That drives me and I'm going hard now. I get
that in my neighborhood all the time, where if your
dog is not on a leash and they're trained, that's fine,
good for you. It is one of the time the
person with the untrained dog and the dog. I've had
it where the dog will come up and start like
biting at my ankle and they'll go, oh, I'm sorry,
he just does that. I'm like, well he shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
It's not okay.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Well they'll apologize like, well, it's.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Just you know, it happens.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I'm like, it's not cute.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
I got five dogs and I know their temperament and
I would never like allow them to go around people
without That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Ever, definitely enough for me. My my dog was bitten
by a dog off leash. He was trained, So they
say training doesn't always mean safety.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
People who don't like sweets.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Yeah, I'm one of those people.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So you don't like people that don't like sweets.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
So it's not that I don't like sweets, but I
don't know you don't like They're not like my crutch
or my guilty pleasure. Kalas staring at me. She's like
this psycho. Why I fully agree. I'm one of those people.
I could eat a single her she's kiss and be done.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
WEIRDO.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
I know, I know I can eat one oreo and
set it back. I know.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I have other biases I can't share, but that's not
one of them. Different.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I can have one and I'm good.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
So weird, we're lining. I have another question everybody else.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I don't how do you eat yours a whole bunch
or jelly beans a whole bunch or one at a time.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
So I'm more into into chocolate than like the skittles,
but I'm doing I don't want it. Probably one at
the time. I can't do that.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Yes, maybe the sleep if I'm drunk, I'll do them.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
What are you are you like a handful?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Absolutely, because you can't taste a favorite thank you.

One by one like with the skittles, you're trying to.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Okay socks with slides, I mean with slides is a.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Little bit better. But I grew up with a dad
who wore socks with sandals, so I just cannot this man,
it's it's remarkable that I know how to dress in
any way at all.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
He I'm not saying I can't.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
I'm saying that. You know where I came from.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
My dad, he was okay, No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
My dad would wear socks with sandals tucked into jeans shorts,
and it'd be usually like a big dog T shirt.
That was what he would wear every day, every day though.
That's all that would be. Dressing up would be. He
put a belt on that, that was it.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
That's not my dad, that's not my dad. Okay, but
that it doesn't even count. That doesn't count. That doesn't
count because that's not what I'm talking about. Okay, fake
listening to music with headphones on, so there's no music,
(28:10):
you're faking.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
It every day. No, I never do that, not even
somebody's like trying to talk to you and bugging you.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
No, I'll just say I'm gonna do whatever.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Now I'm a coward.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
I'll tend I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Okay, Yeah, so that's that makes sense for you. But no,
I do it all the time. As soon as I
sit down on the plane, headphones go on, even if
there's no music. Okay. Complimenting strangers, yeah, share it, it's free.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
No, all the time, the time. Absolutely. Absolutely. If I
see somebody and they've got something that I know is
important to them, it's a great look, I'll compliment them.
Mhm okay, okay, PDA in front of your parents, no,
