(00:05):
Hey everybody.
Welcome to a little mini episodeof Vibing the Apocalypse.
We're here today promoting tomorrow's.
Tomorrow's Nightbreak ComedyShow right here in Daybreak
at Land of a Thousand Hills.
And with me, uh, for a little miniinterview is one of the comics that's
gonna be on the lineup, Nami Eskandarian.
Say hi, Nami.
Uh, hi, Nami.

(00:28):
Nami, I'm so excited to have youon the show, because from the very
first time that I ever saw youperform, I found you Hilarious.
And when I first saw you perform,I was like, I want to have him
on one of my shows someday.
And so I'm so thrilled that that'shappening for the first time.
Tomorrow.
I have a couple of questions for you.
The first question is when people findout that you're a standup comic and

(00:52):
then they ask you to tell them a joke,or they demand that you tell them a
joke, how does that make you feel?
And then what, what do youdo in that, in that moment?
Uh, well, I always get annoyed becauseit's like, You know, when you ask a
stand up comic to like, tell you ajoke, it's like their job to tell jokes.

(01:13):
So like, you're practicallygetting a free show at that point.
But since I barely get paid forthis, I don't really have any
right to be angry when someonetells me, Can you tell me a joke?
I like telling them theworst joke I can tell.
Just like, right away.
Just the most not funny, worst joke ever.

(01:37):
Just to like, set theirexpectations super low.
So when they see a show of mine, thenthey can be like, Oh shit, this guy
is As unfunny as I thought he was, youknow, that is, that is my strategy.
I love that.
Um, do you have a, like a go tobad joke that you tell, or is it
just whatever current bad jokeis floating around in your brain?

(01:59):
I will literally just say anythingbecause it's easier to tell a bad
joke than it is to tell a good one.
Ah, I love that.
Okay, great.
Second question.
Um, what is something that youwish were true about yourself
that is not currently true?
Oh my God.
I wish I could like.
Suck my own dick.
Is that too vulgar?

(02:20):
I don't know.
That'd be sick.
I don't, I just think that'd be so cool.
You know, it's like, it's like,man, you know, I'm so bored.
I was like, come on.
I feel like that would be so dope.
Uh, I don't know.
Did you want a clean response?
Give me a clean response too.

(02:41):
Okay, clean response.
Uh, what was the question?
What's one thing you wish were trueabout yourself that is not true?
You can make that other thingtrue with practice and yoga, dude.
Like, there's a world where that's true.
Yeah, yeah.
You just gotta, you just gotta work at it.
I just went to physical therapy.
My back hurts.

(03:01):
My back hurts.
I don't, it's a, it's a dream.
It's a dreams away.
What is something I wish was trueabout myself that isn't true?
Well, I I really wish that I couldjust teleport anywhere I want, you
know, because, you know, commuting,transportation, flying, driving,

(03:23):
you know, it takes so much time.
If I could just go anywhere Iwant, then I'd never have to pay
for an Uber ever again, you know.
But, like, I wonder if, like, If youcould teleport wherever you wanted to,
you could also then suck your own dick.
Whoa.

(03:47):
How?
You would just teleport down there.
We'll have to check.
We'll have to check.
Half of me . I don't know.
I don't know the rulesof magical teleportation.
Ha, what's, what's the sectionpercentage that I can teleport?
Can I like teleport my ass tojust random places on earth?

(04:11):
And they're like, what the heck?
There's a button there.
And then I prank them that way.
Yeah, you, or just likeyour middle finger.
Just magically teleported.
Somewhere.
Oh my God.
I don't know.
I feel like a middle finger is kindof pointless because you need the
rest of the fingers for it to bemiddle Otherwise, it's just a finger.
Otherwise, that's philosophy.
Yeah, good.

(04:32):
I'm glad you're here for here for mewith that that you caught me Thank you.
Okay, last question What what do you knowabout daybreak and or what associations
do you have with the word daybreak?
Well, I know jack shit about daybreak.
It sounds like a sunscreento me Uh I think it's a town.

(04:55):
I don't even know how far it is.
Uh, I'm in a Trader Joe'sparking lot right now.
It's like the goddamnHunger Games in here, dude.
Everyone's like, give mea spot, give me a spot.
Uh, I don't know.
When I think of Daybreak, I thinkof a city that is, uh, more than
like ten minutes from where I live.

(05:17):
Which I consider far away.
Because I'm lazy.
Ah, that was perfect.
That was a perfect answer.
Nami, I'm so stoked that you cameon this, uh, little mini podcast.

Thank you so much, Ben, forhaving me on the show and also the
sweet things that you said to me.

have been waiting for years forsomeone to compliment me on my jib.
