(00:00):
Welcome to Big Hoss's Tailgate. Cool Amber Live.
So what's going on? I'm with Jeff Fieldhouse here.
(00:21):
Pittsburgh comedian. You said you're from Aetna,
right? Yep.
Aetna. Yeah, I don't know why I was
like telling you before. I was like, yeah, I don't know
why I thought you were Greenfield.
I was like, that's Mike Zeidel and them guys.
Yeah, it's a similar vibe, just on the other side of town.
Heck yeah. Yeah.
I'm from like Washington County area, so fuck yeah.
Yeah. Small coal mine towns.
You know, I think when I startedoff as like my first like joke
(00:42):
about Washington County was likehome of like failed coal mine
towns and fentanyl. Yeah, a little bit.
You need the fence to get through the hours.
You know, yeah, you work. Hard You got a party.
Exactly. You know, you have to have it if
you're going to have a, you know, I guess steady, steady
grind and I guess you have to have a hard come down, I guess.
A million percent, brother. So how long you been in stand up
(01:04):
for? So I started in high school at
18 and I'm 29. Oh shit.
So 11 years. OK.
Yeah. How long?
I mean, like, is it hard like when you're starting like 18
because you can't go into bars like that's where most of the
mics? Are yeah.
So the pleasure bar OK still allowed you and Scarps allowed
(01:25):
you, but I was only allowed to go up when it was my set and
then I had to leave. OK, so they let you hang out in
the back, right? Just don't be smart.
Yeah. And then I moved to Florida
right after high school, go to film school, and there was a lot
of open mics at coffee shops andeverywhere else in Orlando.
So that's where for probably like four or five of the years
of it, I did Orlando and West Palm.
(01:47):
There was just a lot of comedy out there.
Oh nice, that's what I had a buddy like during COVID.
He went, he played music and he would go down to Florida.
He's like, dude, the tips I makein Florida are nothing compared
to here like. When the only thing I didn't
realize is I was kind of starting comedy in Florida, even
though I started in Pittsburgh. I did it a handful of times in
(02:08):
high school, but then once I moved after high school,
starting in Florida, it's a way different reach in the sense of
they weren't listening to the jokes in the same way East Coast
comedy is to where the crowds like hear more jokes.
They're more like it's a vibe, like the weather is nice.
They're there to listen to musicand stuff, so you almost made
yourself had to be like more entertaining to get their
(02:29):
attention to. When I came back to Pittsburgh,
I was like, oh, they're listening to premises, this is
fun. Opposed to me just feeling like
I had to get right to them, which looking back on it was
great because like you had to kind of get that skill of
getting right to the point. Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's
weird, 'cause it's like now in Pittsburgh, it's like there's
some mics they won't even listento you at all.
Like, or like, the best part is when you're sitting at a mic and
(02:51):
you go through and you, you get nothing.
And then there's one dude, the bar goes that was good.
And he goes back to doing his thing.
Like really, man? Like at least I know your guys
are listening, but damn, like, give me a little bit more
response on that. Yeah, it sucks.
Oh, man. What was the like?
Like what? I mean, you said you've been
doing 11 years. Like, what was like, was there a
lot of mics when you were doing it then?
(03:12):
Like or is there 'cause it seemslike now like the mics like are
kind of like hit and miss, like there's not as many.
Like when I first started it seemed like there was a bunch of
mics and now it's like. Yeah, after COVID came more like
a scattered island and stuff. But yeah there was a a lot of
mics. But the best 1 was definitely
ham bones. Like twice a week you can go
there and you knew like Mondays and Thursdays it was.
(03:34):
Where was ham bones at 'cause I never like heard of that as.
A club. It's where the Derby is.
So right in Lawrenceville. Do you know where the Derby is?
I think so. I know Lawrenceville.
Do you know Kindados in Lawrenceville?
Yeah, it's the building right across from Kindados.
So it was Hambones was like their go to where they would
have comedy open mics. And then before COVID, Derek
Minto and a few other comics bought it and they turned that
(03:57):
area into Burning Bridges ComedyClub.
And that's where they would havelike more like beginning
headliners and like smaller actsthat would come and do maybe
like 100 seater and they would do like 2 nights at Burning
Bridges. And that place was sick because
from knowing them and doing spots and ham buns.
Once they got that, that's whereI got like a host spot where you
work the door and then you're able to host for someone there.
(04:19):
And it was just the best on Thursday nights because it was
just always packed and always just have like pretty much every
comic in Pittsburgh be in there.So that place was great and all
over like Smiling Moose in the South Side, DS in the South
Side. There's just like a shit.
Smiling Moose just closed down. Yeah, which is really sad.
Yeah, because I remember going in there like pre COVID, like I
(04:41):
remember going like just when Southside actually used to be
cool to go down to now it's like, you know, I don't wear a
vest before I go down there because.
It's more boring, I think. Yeah.
You outgrow Southside quick. Yeah.
And I feel like there is qualityMike still.
I don't know. I I feel like if you're going
for the hang and get to know people aspect, it can maybe be
harder in the sense of trying tofind certain spots.
(05:03):
But I don't know, I feel like Pittsburgh comedy in the sense
of there may not be as much, butit's way more communal.
You can definitely find your groups.
Oh yeah, and, and kind of move and groove.
And there's so many people now that before they would wait on
people to start rooms. And now it's more DIY where
people are starting their own rooms.
Yeah, Miles, just kick one up somewhere.
Like find a bar that's like, I don't care what you guys do, go
(05:25):
do what you. Want, or if like you're out of
place and you know, like, oh, I'm from here.
I can get 25 people here every month.
I can pack out this show. Why aren't I doing a show here?
Then all of a sudden you start doing it.
I think that just a lot more people's eyes and shit.
That's how we we were walking down Southside and like trying
to see like different places that you could like put up a
show and stuff and I walked intolike Tiki Lounge.
(05:48):
Did you ever see like the backroom like go in during the
day? I.
Did a show at Tiki Lounge. That would be cool.
Like is it that backroom like with?
This. It's the front room.
Oh, OK. And it's depressing.
And even if it's in the backroom, it smells like fucking
chlorine. But there's no pool to be found.
Yeah. We don't want to know what the
chlorine smells from, Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.
(06:08):
There's just there's a lot of Pittsburgh is very, very slept
on in the sense of how much you can do and the people you can
meet and the quality of shows wise of what you want to get out
of it. Well I just seen Bottle Rocket
is teaming up to have their improv group I guess.
The upright Citizens, the UCB, so they're coming and they're
(06:29):
going to have like their own school over in that Allentown.
And then they're going to like use Bottle Rocket to host a shit
ton of stuff from where it's like improv classes.
The headliners, because it's like past year and a half, two
years, Bottle Rockets been having like so many killer
headliners where I was like, wait, what the fuck?
How how'd they get these people?Yeah.
And then once you see that, you're like, oh shit, there's
some serious moves we've made. Yeah, there was a guy I seen
(06:50):
coming at the end of the month and I was like, I want to see if
I can get this guy on a podcast.But it's like the the problem
is, like, how do you reach out to comics, like, especially like
the bigger ones? And it's like, how do you reach
out to somebody and be like, hey, man, like, I'm just like a
guy like in Pittsburgh, just, you know, trying to get get a
guest. And it's like you want to be
respectful too. I I know you want to be
(07:12):
respectful with the end of the day.
I think what they can see is, isthat you see, if I get them on
my podcast, I'm going to get more numbers.
And it's more bang for your buckthan bang for their buck.
Yeah. And more scratching your back
where it's like, well, if you come on my podcast, more people
will see it. But then also in that sense,
I've done my podcast where I waslike, let me get this specific
person in Pittsburgh that has this or this out of town person
(07:34):
'cause they'll give me numbers, quote UN quote.
And they came on and I got numbers, but none of those
people returned because they're not.
They're only here for one guy. So that's where in the sense of
like trying, I think the best way is if he's going to be in
town and he's a grinder comic more in the sense go to whatever
the best mic is or the best hangand chill with him.
(07:54):
And if you have a good enough back and forth, then they'll be
like, good, I go to podcasts andshit instead of reaching.
I think that's the best way because I feel like dudes like
that can just sniff out like, hey, come do my podcast, be
great. And it's like, well, I don't
know you, what's the back and forth?
Then they also see like most of us in Pittsburgh are podcasts.
We don't have crazy numbers. They're going to be like, what
the fuck's the bang for the buckout of this?
(08:15):
Supposed to like kind of creating a friendship and being
around the scene. And some of them it's just like,
I just want to talk to that guy.Like it'd be cool.
Like I always said, like, you know, like it'd be cool to go on
Rogan's podcast just because I'dlike to talk to that guy, not
care about like whatever. It's like I would have the same
conversation I'd have with him on his pod that happened with
him at a bar. Like I was just like, I just
(08:36):
want to talk to just find out what this like how this guy
ticks. Yeah, just cut up.
Yeah, so like what do you do like when you're not doing
comedy? Because I see like you do Berg
Bus, which that looks like fun. Yeah, that's like opposed to I
don't really go to many open mics in the sense of whenever I
do the Burg bus, I usually host by myself and it's 90 minutes.
(08:57):
Yeah. And so you, you have a bus of
the smaller bus is 30 people, the big bus is 55 and you have
that many people for 90 minutes.So you can try as many jokes as
you want. You can practice what is what
would be your headliner set because you have the first half
that goes 35 minutes until the bathroom break.
And then the second-half you have is around like 40 minutes
(09:18):
because it's 90 minute ride. So what I've been doing is using
that first 40 minutes to just run a set and to practice a new
joke as if this was like my headlining set.
So within that I'll do my starting joke and then I'll
always leave the middle pocket for all the new jokes throughout
the week that I'm thinking of. And it's like the best cuz like
I'm trying real crowds. They're actually there.
It's not like a mic. And it's just been like the
(09:39):
greatest blessing cuz like I'm on a moving bus BYOB, people are
getting fucked up. So like if jokes work on that.
And then once I get booked at a comedy gig the next night and
it's a quiet room where everyone's listening and shit,
I'm like, was I using a weightedbat for comedy before with like
practicing? So that's been like a huge
blessing in the sense of me being able to like write and
(10:00):
practice material was like having the Berg bus because if
not, it's not that I don't like going to Mike's, but that's just
like it seems like such a streamlined way to have like I
just don't know at any other time where I'm like frequently
having that much time to fuck around in a sense.
Yeah, 'cause it's like, I alwayssee like you guys, I'm like
damn, I don't know how you guys are like, 'cause it's, I think
what you guys do like a tour, right Like around the.
(10:22):
City. Yeah.
So it starts in the Convention Center and then it goes like
North Shore and all that. But what I do at night, I don't
do a tour, so I don't tell you about the city, OK?
I don't know. Fucking facts and stuff.
That's why I told them. I was like, this isn't the
fucking Ducky tour. Yeah, this is a comedy tour.
Cut up. We're getting drunk.
This is like if we held the hostbustage, held the the bus
hostage and we're like, we're just getting fucked up and
(10:44):
riding around Pittsburgh. Like that's more.
Which is fun. Yeah, I'm down for that.
But some people want like there has been a lady at the bathroom
break being like, when's the facts?
And I'm like, well, I like blue chunks behind this fucking
alley. There's like a kind of fact,
like I don't have many facts foryou and stuff.
Yeah, you used to drive down South side.
Took a piss there. Yeah, took a piss there.
Yeah. Literally seen a guy pass out
(11:05):
there. Yeah, but no, it's, it's the
owner Nick is fucking awesome. And that's been like, I think
almost three years of doing that.
And that's been a huge blessing opposed to because with work
too, I, I like, I do 3D printing.
I love golfing. I'm getting married in August.
Like I do a lot outside of work.So I'm very grateful to have
that because if not during the week, there are like especially
(11:27):
now I've finally carved out moretime with my work schedule where
I have like Mondays and Thursdays down and there's like
two or three mics on those days that I would like to go to.
Then I'm like, oh fuck, I would love to go to smalls on Mondays
because I'll be so quick and easy and especially Thursday.
So like I'm excited to start to get back in that rotation, kind
of have that going, but it's just been sick having the bird
(11:49):
bus, honestly. That's like on Wednesdays.
I've been driving out to, like, Niles.
OH, yeah. And they have the funny farm up
there. Yeah.
I I. Forget.
I think we was just telling me about that.
Yeah dude, it's awesome. It is crazy 'cause it's like, it
feels like a real comedy. Like, I mean, it's basically a
real comedy club. And they get real comics too, I
mean. Louis CK was there a couple of
months ago. Yeah, I saw what's it called?
(12:10):
I think my cousin saw TJ Miller there last year and shit.
Like, it's they get real calm. And that's the other thing about
having the smaller clubs, too, is like when you see guys like
that doing it who are just making it happen.
Yeah, that's all you need, man. Like you just need a room that
can fit people that are killers.Like I do these random VFWS all
over for this Steel City comedy tour.
Yeah. And it literally is so cool
(12:31):
because you walk in these littleVFWS that are packing 80 people
in it and you're like, oh, this is all you need just for a
comedy show. Just dim the lights, good sound
and it's fucking a great time. It's just hard to get people to
show up to things like that's the.
Yeah, that's the, that's the whole.
But I knew I knew people who were in bands, they had the same
issue. Like they're like, yeah, we're
playing this bar and like, they like share it all the time.
(12:53):
And then when they get there, there's like, there's 10 people
and they're like, what's going on here?
And they're like, Oh, yeah, like, I guess there's another
thing in town or like. Yeah, there's like an egg
painting festival. Yeah, something stupid you're
like. Always something.
Yeah, yeah, because I went down,I think.
Yeah, there's a couple of shows I went to.
It's like you got there and you're like, I'm so pumped for
this. And then like nothing.
(13:13):
And you're like, and it was like, I think it was 1 where it
was like I was just a new guy starting out and I was like, I
can't really get too mad. Like you know, hey, like man,
you tried like good for you buddy.
Well. Especially I did an all art show
when I moved back to Pittsburgh and that's what helped me
connect a lot with comics is once you have a show, once you
have a poll, friends want to come over.
(13:34):
So once you have a show, other comics are like, well, I have a
show, yeah. Can I get on your show?
And then the blood sucking starts to happen.
So then. But then you end up becoming
friends, but until you kind of do your own thing, people going
to invite you on or if they do it's not as frequent, you don't
show your face. So this all art show I did with
my friend Ty, his dad owned a bar called the Mount Troy Inn
and we would do comedy first. So I would do 3 comics and then
(13:58):
a band would close it out and wewould have an artist on stage
painting. At the end of the night we would
donate off the art so it was just a mixture to get like the
music fans to come so they can watch the comedy and then after
they'll stay for the music. That's how I always thought
about like, you know like if you're going to bring a like a
comedian in, I was like I would have 3 comedians and then have a
band afterwards. That way it's like a hangout
(14:19):
vibe out. Yeah, you can just like chill.
We just keep it standing after and then just hang out and we'd
go upstairs after the comedy setand then come downstairs.
The band be done setting up and it's already at a bar so.
And everybody can hang out there.
You don't have to worry about, oh hey, where we going after
this? With a lot of the bands were
like, can we do the music first?I was like, you can never do
music before comedy. These people get used to talking
during an act. It's there.
(14:41):
There's no fucking returning. So that that, yeah, the whole
word show was sick and. And that was a lot of fun.
But even now, like once stuff, life's just been crazy.
Even on and off. There's been a lot of a lot of
family stuff and everything elsewith work and all that jazz.
But I want to start doing monthly shows again.
But I know rooms that I can fit like 20 people Max and something
(15:05):
like that where I was like, I would love to have a room where
I know I could sell it out and you know, it's going to be hot.
And then if I need to expand, doit.
But just starting out. And so like I have two rooms.
I have friends of mine that I know that I could do it anytime.
And I was like, I think in the next month or so, I want to
start doing shows there where I was like every month, you know,
it's going to be there. And I know I can sell 20 tickets
in an area that I grew up in andjust to get more people to come
(15:28):
out. And so starting small and I'd
rather have a thing where it's like, we'll come back next time
it's a hot show, then yeah, try to pack out a 40 seat or when.
And at the hardest is like trying to find venues too,
because like, I'm, I was up in Washington and I went to this
one bar and the guy was like, Ohyeah, we're 100% down for it.
He's like, let me talk to my like Booker, whatever.
I was like, oh sweet man, that'sawesome.
(15:48):
And then like never heard nothing.
Yeah, call him. I reached out and like didn't
even know who I was kind of thing when.
They hear the idea and then I'm like, wait, why do we need him?
We'll just do a comedy night andthen they fuck it up because
they don't even know what they're doing.
Yeah. And they're like, well, the best
part is when they go, well, how much is that gonna cost me?
I'm like nothing. You just give me the place I can
(16:08):
figure out from there like. Yeah, well, you should be like,
I'll give you the business if people show up and just let me
take a door deal circuit and theunconventional route, go to like
places that aren't bars, just goto anywhere.
I did find a cool like record shop that I was going to try
that. 'D be badass.
Because I was like, oh, until I even told the guy I was like,
dude, you could open the shop upafter and people could sell
record. You could sell, sell stuff here.
(16:30):
I'm like, that's the genius route.
Like, like we were talking aboutlike, you know, all the big guys
should like get together for a show and then like go to like a
D XL or something and be like, can we just use this space for a
comedy show and then do it here?I'm like, oh by the way, you
could just buy clothes and then be done like.
Yeah, 100%. I was like, the problem is you'd
have to find a mom and pop because there's no way a
corporate gig is going to let you come in, set up and do all
(16:53):
that shit. After they hear the first joke,
they're like, well, all right, yeah.
Yeah, they're like, yeah, he talked about come for 15
minutes. I don't think I want to, I
think. We need to invest in more Kum
proof shirts does. This one staying easy or like,
don't worry about it. It's just you're all good.
You're good unless you're wearing black and do that.
Never mind. I got.
That's too gross to talk about. You're like, you went to school
(17:18):
and like, there's always like those kids that are like, like,
man, like you're not that bad. Like you're not in that bad of
shape. Like you're just being lazy at
this point. Like, you're not even just,
yeah, I knew a kid that, like, he would come in with just
stains on his shirt. And I'm like, why?
Like, you know, like I've seen you dress up.
Like, you can dress up. He's like, yeah, I just don't
(17:38):
care. Yeah, I had a similar friend
that was just thinking about on the drive over and it smelt like
horrible Bo that had like a $2000 record collection.
I'm like, I know you have the money.
Yeah, like 100 of that you coulduse for like Cologne.
A Dollar General. Yeah, 15 bucks for deodorant.
You can get an Irish Spring thatwill knock my fucking socks off.
(18:00):
Yeah, but every single time. And he's always like, you want
to hit the joint? And I was like, can you pass it?
Not with your armpit. Yeah, you're kind of like, I
can't tell if that's the weed. Or pit, like, Oh yeah, like in
high school at first I was like,it comes from a tough family.
And then after high school I waslike, I see you paying rent.
Yeah, get a fucking stick, brother.
What the fuck are we doing? And I hate like every time, like
when you're a bigger guy guy, like I'm always panicking about
(18:22):
that smell because like everyoneknows, like if you're around
someone who's a big guy. And like, I remember I took my
dad like a movie. Like we went to go see one of
those like Avengers movies or whatever.
And we sat down next to this dude.
And this dude was like 100% nerd.
But like you could smell the nerd come off.
And I was like, I love my dad's like, I'm sorry, you can't
(18:43):
smell. You're going to sit next.
Which is a Musk, Yeah, it's justa Musk of.
You're just like, this is a Muskof sadness.
Yeah. You're like, I know what's
keeping the girls away. It's that cat piss smell butt.
Yeah, literally. So what are you, like?
What are you into, like, when you're not doing comedy?
Like what's like, what's your hobbies?
Golfing, shooting, video editingthem.
(19:04):
That's kind of my main thing. OK, yeah, just a lot of golfing.
Didn't try to sneak into the US Open.
No, I see I'm the type of guy where I like doing the sport.
I've never been a big sport watcher, even growing up
watching sports. I'm just a very like neurotic
overthinking guy that I feel like I have too much on my plate
to like keep stats of other people.
(19:25):
Like I shit my pants last week at a Walmart and I'm worrying
about Aaron Rodgers maybe fumbling like I fumble.
Like I need to figure out my shit.
Like even like my I was driving home from work and I was like,
oh fuck, I didn't place any betson the US Open.
I was like, I still have to respond to Xfinity.
Yeah, I got too much shit I gotta do.
Yeah, you're like, is John Daly playing throw 50 on him?
(19:46):
I guess Like, yeah. Literally okay, Scheffler,
There's an odd, he'll win it, but yeah, you know, just mainly
golfing. That's really golfing.
Cooking in videos. That's how I had a, I had a
buddy of mine, like he was telling me like, like he's a big
golfer and he's a huge John Dalyfan.
And he was like telling me John Daly's stories.
And I was like, this dude is a fucking legend.
Why is there not a movie or ATV show based on him?
(20:08):
There needs to be. Yeah.
He's like an unsung hero. He he still, like, pulls up to
the range smoking cigarettes. He'll take one practice shot
like we're good. The funniest is when he beat
Tiger Hang hungover. Oh, yeah.
Like he was just like, yeah, Andhe's like, I beat him.
He's like, yeah, I he goes Tiger's all like, disciplined or
whatever. And I'm just like smoking a
cigarette, snocking the ball. And he's just like, what's up,
(20:28):
dude? And he's just like you could
tell you're just fuming. Like, that could have been the
approach that turned Tiger into a partier because, you know,
when major athletes are always looking for, like, what the next
level is to make themselves better.
Oh, yeah. And when he got beat by him,
he's like, maybe I need to get shithoused.
Yeah, he was like, Dad, what thefuck, dude, you didn't tell me I
had a crack of beer on the on the green.
(20:48):
Be like, that's how I do it. It's it is funny when you watch
like the people who like are machines and like trying to
force themselves to be a better athlete.
And then you have like a Bert Kreischer who can just like lay
up, like smoke you easy. There was like my, I knew a guy
growing up that my uncle said like, you know, he, you know,
(21:10):
the guy was a bigger dude. He's like, I'm going to make his
fat kid run. And he just kept smacking and
he's like, he's like we're playing pickleball or whatever.
He's like, I'm smacking it and trying to like, I'm sweat's
pouring off and he goes never moved from that spot and just
one handing it both sides. It's like, dude, he's like,
dude, what did you expect? Like it's all about field, dude.
Yeah, as soon as you think you're going to dominate
(21:30):
somebody, it you don't, No. Yeah, that that's cool thing
about sports, I have a lot of friends and especially a golf,
like I have a friend that's hugeand he shoots in the 70s all the
time. Just fucking.
It's all I feel. That's it.
I feel like, I feel like sports kind of went downhill a little
bit after COVID because people were just like the world almost
ended. I don't care.
(21:51):
It's the same thing. That's the same attitude whether
you run like a job and your bossis bitching at you and you're
just like, you know what? I could leave like I almost died
from a disease. I don't care.
Yeah, it's not going to change anything.
It's like the new gaming systems, like we've seen the
progression. Same with sports.
We've seen it'll happen now. It's like, all right, Xbox 6.
I mean, all right, I've seen it.But you haven't seen any like,
(22:15):
leaps really. Like nothing's really like
jumped ahead because you're like, like, I don't know, like
the new Call of duties. I'm like, they're the same.
Like they're actually kind of the stories suck.
Like the graphics get a little bit better, but the like, yeah,
yeah, it sucks. I was pissed off about Black Ops
6. Yeah, it wasn't great.
Yeah, I was like, so zombies arenow in the campaign?
(22:39):
I'll just spoil it because I don't care.
And then Modern Warfare 3I refused to pay money for.
Yeah. When I seen how they screwed
everybody over, it's basically like, yeah, this was DLC for
Modern Warfare 2 and we just said fuck it and we'll put it
out. It's like, cool.
They just announced Black Ops 7.Did you do the same shit there?
Did you not learn? Like no.
What? Was your favorite one like Call
(23:00):
of Duty? Probably 2 back in the 360 days
OK using the intervention. They didn't remaster.
That yeah, they did. I got it.
It's fun, but I don't know, I I get it.
So in my head, about as soon as I, like, start playing video
games and shit, I just feel likea fucking piece of shit.
And I started getting better at that.
(23:22):
But yeah, I don't know, something about Call of Duty
too, Like my hand eye isn't the same.
Yeah, like everyone is just so fucking good now.
Well, it's like a couple of us, a couple of comics and stuff
like we'll, we got together and we'll do Fortnite sometimes,
like after Mike. Yeah.
And it's like, you know. I have to go no build.
That's the only way to do it. They do OG 0 build.
Yeah, because if you go with a build, all of a sudden as soon
(23:42):
as you're about to get some kid,he's like Tyler, build it, and
then some kid goes like this andisn't a perfect fucking spiral.
Yeah, meanwhile I'm just like, Ihit beat.
I just threw a wall down randomly.
I feel like I'm dyslexic trying to find stairs and I'm stuck on
pyramid roof and I'm fucking. You're just like, I don't know,
I'm just stacking the cones at this point.
Literally did yeah. I would just button mash and
then my friends would be like dude just want to take the magic
(24:03):
potion and then dump 12. I'm like what the fuck are we
talking about here? I don't know any of.
This yeah, like, and then they're like, oh, this one gives
you like super speed and shield.I'm like cool nerd like.
Meanwhile I'm like nerd like. Those are deep in it.
Oh yeah, I get like, super into my nerdy shit.
Like I got Thor's hammer back here.
Fuck yeah. Little Captain America statue.
(24:25):
Got The Wolverine. Oh fuck yeah.
Fucking a Yeah, but it's probably my favorite toss up
between Wolverine and I got Ben Grimm tattooed.
That's tight. Like from the Fantastic Four.
Oh shit. Yeah, fucking a.
Me and another comic, Seth Queen, we went down to the
tattoo convention and like, you go shopping around and it's
(24:45):
like, it was weird because like,I don't know, I was like, see, I
was very like, sheltered as a kid.
So like when you're going there and you're seeing like people
get tattooed, like you're just seeing people drop their pants.
I'm like, what is happening? Like, and you're like, no, no,
it's fine. It's tattooing.
I'm like OK, like I. Can there be a curtain?
Yeah, I'm like, I'm just going to walk around and try not to
look because like you're, you'retrying to like do this.
(25:08):
Like, you know, yeah, there was a couple cool things that they
had there. Like, then it's like they didn't
just make it all about tattoos. Like they had like people going
up and like, like, like jugglingswords and like weird shit like
swords swallowing. I'm like, that's tight.
I can't, I'll get the hiccups. Yeah, I just, there was a cool
(25:28):
like guy had moon, like he had like chocolate, like fudge and
stuff. And I was like, that's cool.
And there's like you can't stop thinking about fudge jokes the
whole time. Like it's just all shit jokes.
The whole really good chocolate though.
Oh yeah. Yeah.
So like what? Like what kind of music are you
into? Like have you been checking any
bands out or like get chance to see any concerts this summer?
(25:51):
I actually haven't gone to too many concerts this summer.
I'm trying to think. Yeah, no.
As far as local bands, my friends are in a band called the
Zells. They're they're really sick.
I love seeing them live. Any chance I get.
What have I been listening to? I really like Smino.
(26:12):
I don't know if you know him. He's a rapper.
I really like his stuff. I know Car Seat Headrest just
dropped a new album. I haven't listened to them in a
while. Yeah, Honestly, man, I'm pretty
boring in the music department. I'm like the Spotify DJ.
Just fucking press it. Yeah.
I wasn't like in a like a Mac Miller faces kick always around
(26:36):
summertime. I'll end up coming back on the
rotation. Yeah, shit like that.
But. We were in the we went to New
York. Like a bunch of us went up to go
like check out kill Tony and he was up there and we're in line.
It was like me, Louis, John Bankhart, Cantu, and we were all
just hanging out in line. And some guys were like, hey
man, is it cool for like we hangout with you guys?
(26:57):
And I seen Louie and them talking to this guy and I'm
like, I have no idea who this guy they're talking to is.
And the guy had like a friend, Fred Flintstone, like playing a
saxophone shirt. And I was like, that's dope.
So I just go over and I was like, hey, man, that's a really
cool shirt. Like shirt, man.
I'm talking to this guy. And then Louis, like, asked me,
he's like, do you know who that is?
I'm like, no, he's like, it's this guy named Token.
Like, he's a big rapper. And I was like, oh, yeah, I had
(27:19):
no idea. Like I was just sitting there
bullshit with him about his FredFlintstone shirt.
Yeah, just a little white kid. Yeah.
Yeah, Token's hard. It was cool, like if we we took
a picture, but I was like, cool.I was like, cuz I asked him
like, hey man, can we get a picture?
He's like cuz of your shirt. No idea who he is.
That's funny. So we snapped the picture and
he's got his mouth cover out cuzhe had something in his teeth
and he didn't want it to be shown.
(27:39):
I was like, all right, no problem.
Yeah. All good dude, but.
It was like what the fuck? Like I have no idea who this guy
was. That's a cool thing about New
York, you know, especially waiting in line for that show.
Oh yeah, that show was running. Into a shit ton of people.
And then like Louis, it's it's funny, like like Tony
Hinchcliffe, like it was walkingby, like when we were standing
in line, like waving at people like they shooting B roll
(28:00):
footage, I guess. That's funny.
Like, like he's the queen. Oh yeah, like it's, it was, it's
weird. I've ran into him like 3 times.
I ran into him once in Austin and he gave me like a fist bump
after a show because I was like,he's like, he said, hey, have a
good night. I was like, oh, cool, you too.
And I was like, wait a minute. And he's just like, and then
kept moving. I was like, I get it.
Oh, I got to check the camera real quick.
(28:21):
I'll be right back. And we're back.
Yeah. So I was, yeah.
So like when you first start, like how did you like know like
to even look up for open mics and stuff when you first
started? I just loved comedy in general.
Just growing up, I was just homea lot.
(28:41):
And so my favorite thing was just stand up comedy.
And I think like in early high school was whenever they had
like the Meltdown series with like Kumail and this Jonah Ray
guy. And they would have this comedy
show in a coffee shop and ComedyCentral's putting it out.
And it would have like stand up on the spot style where a word
would pop up and like a young TJMiller, young John Mulaney or
(29:02):
young, all these people in the LA circuit would go up.
So I'd watch that on top of likethe Comedy Central half hours
growing up and everything. And then I watched like the
documentary Comedian. My uncle recommended me that.
So I always knew like if I wanted to get into it and I
thought I was funny and I was like, all right, so you have to
go and open mic. So like once I started watching
the documentaries, it kind of broke down to me like how to do
(29:24):
it. And so that's when I was like
talking about doing stand up a bunch to my friends in high
school. My friend Lexie, she signed me
up for an open mic without telling me and just told me
like, hey, you have a show this Saturday.
And I was like, what the fuck? And I was like, all right, so
you know, this Wednesday. So then I went to the pleasure
bar, and Aaron. Aaron Clabber was the host.
(29:46):
And that wasn't like, 2013. So yeah, like whenever I was a
senior in high school. Damn, I remember going to the
improv like it was like 2013 or whatever and I seen like Clabber
was like one of the first comicsI seen there him I can't Ray
Zawadny him. And there was a guy that won
(30:07):
last comic standing that lived here.
Like he just moved here at the time.
And he had this fucking joke that I was laughing my ass off
where he was talking about people getting offended at shows
and he was like this woman got offended over like a missing kid
joke. And it was it was something like
that. And he was like, so one year
(30:28):
he's like, you know, there's so many missing kids or whatever
because in one year, because every year I try to give back to
the community by letting one go.And he was like, tell me how
offended she was. And I can't remember what that
guy's name is, though. It could be like John.
It's like John or something, maybe.
Not sure. Yeah, I can't.
I haven't seen him in years. Like, that was like the first
show we went to. And then I think we've seen
(30:50):
Brent Ernst, like the second one.
Then we started like going to shows all the time.
Fuck yeah. Yeah.
We. I've seen Ralphie May there
once. Lavelle Crawford.
Yeah. I think we went for Charlie
Murphy one time and fuck yeah. I don't think it was a We're
blasted drunk. We took a party bus down there
so. You're pretty torrent.
Yeah, who is like, what's like, who's like your big like
(31:12):
influences, like when you're starting like comedians that
you're like, oh, I've, I like this guy's vibe.
I was listening to like early Tuesdays with stories.
So like Mark Norman, Joe West, especially like Mark Norman, his
name was getting tossed around. I was listening to like Amy
Schumer on an early podcast and she brought up him as his
opener. And the Stand Comedy Club would
(31:35):
post roast battles back then. So on YouTube I was watching a
lot of that and I would listen to a lot of like Opie and
Anthony. So that's where like I'd find
out about like Jim Norton. And so I was just like obsessed
with Jim Norton. I loved Big Jay Oakerson.
I just thought he was like the funniest fucking dude ever.
And so then once you looked intoBig Jay Oakerson, I found out
about like the seller crew. So like it was really just all
(31:57):
New York comics, like in high school going into college and I
was doing stand up like on rotation was probably like Dan
Soder, Big J, Jim Norton, who's another one.
I mean, obviously Rogan like Ariand those guys from like the
whole like Tom Segura and everyone because that was just
early. But I'm trying to think of Pete
(32:19):
Holmes was like huge. It was like early Pete Holmes I
just thought was fucking hilarious because I had a friend
who was like very religious and so he tossed him on because he
was like more clean. And that's where I was like, I
thought it was cool because I was like, oh, he can still like
because now I can see bits by Pete that aren't clean at all.
It was cool to see him kind of bounce.
So yeah, it was kind of like in LA, New York, like at early high
(32:40):
school, I was listening to more LA people just watching like the
Comedy Central stuff. And then towards the end of high
schools, whenever I was listening to a lot of the old
Opie and Anthony's on YouTube, and then the whole New York
comedy scene was just like spewed to me on YouTube.
Yeah, I started like going on YouTube and listen to a lot of
like the Patrice clips because Patrice just roasting people.
And I'm like, man, like because it's it's funny because like,
(33:03):
like Bill Burr's a guy like, Oh yeah, that'd be a cool guy to
talk to. But then at the same time, like
he might hurt my feelings. Like I might not be prepared to
handle whatever he's thrown at me because he he walks that line
where you don't know if he's joking or not.
And like there's a couple like especially when you watch that
one with him and Howie and he brings what's his name in from
(33:25):
Smashing Pumpkins and like triedto like say like they were
brothers and stuff. Because Bill got he was like
telling people like, no, that was not a bit.
Bill was actually fucking pissed.
And I was like, you couldn't tell because I was like, no,
Bill's in on in the bit like he this is all a bit thing.
And I was like, and everybody was like, they weren't sure
either because they did that whenever Dana White walked off,
(33:47):
like they were like, everybody thought that was real.
And then Dana was like, no, it was a bit like, I just was tired
of doing podcasts and like, Oh, you should walk out.
And then they're like, I don't know, I hate, like, how many
times do you get fooled by that?Like the manufactured like I
don't know what you call that. Yeah, like the fake, Yeah.
I feel like especially somethinglike that, it was hard for me to
(34:09):
like, see Bill being in on that.So that's why I was like, I
don't see him like playing into like the fake leading into that
side. But yeah, the the whole like
fake thumbnail and shit like that where it's just to lead you
into thinking one thing. It's just annoying as shit.
Yeah, I get that all the time, especially like, you know, if
they're putting movie trailers up, they'll always be like, Oh
yeah, here's the movie for the new Friday.
(34:30):
Yeah. And everybody's like, they'd be
in the new Friday. And then you watch it and it's
just AI. Yeah, it's.
I was like, damn, they're getting too good with this.
Yeah, it's fucked. Yeah, there's AI seen.
Someone did like a live action Simpsons.
They put Adam Sands. On yeah, I saw that that.
Was like. It looks pretty real.
I'll tell you what though, I wrote and rewatched like the
earlier Simpsons. Way funnier than the new
(34:52):
seasons. Oh yeah, like they were.
The writers rooms back then was like all of the top writers
before they blew up. Yeah, Now it's like, I don't
know where they're getting writers from now because like,
these guys suck just in general.Like it seems like across like
TV shows like you don't really see.
Do they suck or should this family that never grew up be on
season 56? Hold on, I'm saying like in.
(35:14):
General if we're going to like, ring out a show this far, then
it's going to like how many moresituations can fucking Lisa get
into before we start getting stale?
Well, I mean, like I was, I was like, I wasn't just like
referring to The Simpsons on it,like Family Guy's the same way
like that one. Same thing.
What else is this family going to get into like this show as a
(35:34):
as a stock life? At what point are we having like
Munchausen since we're just wanting to relive a good time?
Like we like these characters, so at least feed us what we
need. It feels like the only one that
hasn't been that bad has been South Park.
Yeah, and but it seems like theytake breaks like they go in
waves, like they take like retreats from having certain.
(35:56):
I think as they said, last year was the only year that South
Park never put out a season. But like, they only work, you
know, they put 10 a couple episodes out, like 13 maybe, and
then they're off the rest of theyear.
I know they're working on like acomedy movie with Kendrick Lamar
right now. Oh yeah, I heard about that.
Yeah, I wonder if that like they're like in movie production
(36:16):
or something. I'll tell you what, their movies
were dope. Like, I don't care what anybody
says. Team America.
Team America World. Police that was the best
basketball all all their shit. Dude I was cleaning out my
grandparents place recently and they found like this old VHS of
like an old original movie that they made about like I think
matter Trey being a porn star. Oh.
(36:37):
Orgasmo. Yeah.
Orgasmo. Yeah, I saw this VHS and I was
like, what the fuck is this movie?
Yeah, yes, I still have to watchit.
But I found in my PAP, like, yeah, that he had like all this
like super random old comedy. Dude it's always weird whenever
you find like anything like sex related and you find out it
belongs to your grandfather. Oh dude, I have my storage room
(36:58):
right now is filled with 20 boxes of old classic Playboys
that I'm going through because my uncles were like there's some
really good ones. Oh yeah.
Like dude, I have playboys from like my whole extra room.
It's so funny. But like my even my fiance,
she's like telling her Co workers like yeah, we got
playboys. We have to go through there nice
(37:19):
and stuff. It's just so funny to look back
again. I haven't once thought about,
you know, it is weird. Yeah, because like, well, it's
like, like like like when my grandfather died, they went up
like when went looking through the house, this man had boxes
like just stacks. Like it was like one of those
they and I'm like, it's funny, my uncle just threw most of them
away and my brother's like, do you understand how much money
(37:41):
those might? Be I was looking at some of them
and like a lot of them before they allowed full nudity or or
what expensive like this like 70s and the 50s and shit yeah,
there's some wild old ones. I looked and I was like, this
one's going for like 600 bucks online like.
Holy fuck, I know the one my brother's looking for is the
Dolly Parton one. I have the Dolly Parton one.
(38:01):
It's. Special yeah, 'cause it's like
she never, she was never naked in it, like that's the only
thing she did it, but she dressed up as the Bunny that
might be worth. Something see, 'cause I have a
drawer where I put like a bunch.Like I had one that had Rodney
Dangerfield on it there. Was like a bunch.
Like, yeah, there was a bunch ofcomedic ones that I put aside
because I just thought we were cool.
And he had a bunch of old schoollike National Lampoon, like like
(38:25):
magazines mixed in between it. Yeah.
But yeah, there's like 6 boxes that I have that I'm like, some
of these have to be words. Something like there's a bunch
of Trump ones that I found that I started putting aside.
I was like, I know there has to be some guy online that would
spend good money. On Oh yeah, there's a MAGA dude
somewhere being like, I want everything, you know I.
Haven't paid my fucking mortgage, my future mortgage.
I'll give him all of the Trump Playboys if he wants to fucking
(38:46):
give me the cash for it, 'cause once I saw what I was like, I
need to take advantage of this. Like after the he got shot in
the ear, I was like started looking online.
I was like, are these playboys spiking up?
Isn't that crazy? What's in Butler?
When that happens, you're just like, really?
I know. Like, we can't have anything
cool, can we? Like.
I figured it was like a kid in atree stand.
His dad was like, damn it Ethan,I've told you to fuck it out the
(39:07):
wrong way. It's funny, I think one liner
madness happened was like that night and like I found out I was
going to be on like I found out I got accepted onto it.
Like it's like 6:00. The show starts at 8 and I'm
like, fuck, I need to go on Twitter and like see if there's
anything on there I can come up with like some one liners first
thing on there. President Trump is almost was
(39:27):
almost assassinated in Butler, PA.
I was like, no fucking way. That's so fucking crazy dude.
Like you're just like no way. Like I feel like we're every day
we're living in like monumental history.
Like I think it was A at the time of recording Monday, we had
the LA riots happening and I'm like, that's crazy.
(39:48):
And it's like, I don't know, I try not to like, I try not to
like talk about like current events because it's like I have
my thoughts on it, but I don't think it anyone cares like.
Yeah, most people are coming to shows to like zoom out of that
shit, right. ANYWAYS.
And some people, unless you can make it funny, like there's
ways, like there's certain comics that.
Can say what's going on about something and they're not even
(40:09):
like saying what side they're on.
They're just saying like the absurdity of it.
They're like, dude, like what the fuck is going?
On well, like the bad thing about like someone told me like
to begin with. Like I think, I think the first
joke I got that got a really biglaugh was when Pee Wee Herman
died. And I said that I wonder if that
was the secret word of the day because he had cancer.
(40:30):
And it got a huge laugh because it happened the night of like
day he died. Like it was announced.
I told that joke and someone waslike, how long do you think that
that's going to last? And I think it was like 2 weeks
maybe like some people like and like some people just didn't get
it at all because it's all younger kids and like what's Pee
Wee's Playhouse? I'm like like.
(40:50):
Yeah, it's funny how like certain jokes where you're like,
fuck, this does have like this certain moment, and then all of
a sudden the zeitgeist is just fucking right past it.
That's what's weird is like, youknow, when you go to the like,
like some bars, you go to the open mic and it's all like 20
year olds and you're like, shit,I have nothing that's going to
make these people laugh because they're all like, I, I, I don't
(41:12):
speak like the language or anything.
And it's weird. It's only a 10 year age gap, but
you're still like, like, I don'tknow, like my, like my nephew
and stuff. I, I see the stuff he laughs at
and I'm like, I don't, I don't know what this is like, what's
Skippity? I don't know what this is.
The fact that they're, I heard they were making it into a movie
and then I think it was a Michael Bay came out and goes,
(41:33):
I'm not making this. Stop telling people.
That's funny. I don't know.
He made he made decent shit. Oh yeah, 100%.
What's like what's your go to like comedy movie?
I'm a big grown up Austin Powerson repeat.
I love it because you get the music aspect of it where it's
like killer live soundtrack. Everything else, the heavy bits,
(41:57):
and I just like stupid absurdity, like like Rodney
Dangerfield and Back to School where it just sets a vibe.
Like the tone is set, everything's good, and you just
know it's going to be goofy as fuck.
That's kind of my vibe. It's like, it's like, I like
Tommy Boy. It was always.
My favorite 100%. Tropic Thunder is like the best.
Yeah, I remember the first time,like when video on demand was
(42:20):
first a thing, like when people,Steven, were that Verizon that
on demand. Yeah.
And you could rent a movie at a friend's house.
And dude, we rented Tropic Thunder for the first time.
It was similar to like I think maybe a couple years before that
we rented Step Brothers. Yeah.
And dude, the hits that got like, I remember with my
friends, I'm like, is this the best movie we've ever seen?
(42:42):
Just the intro where they did like the fake trailers.
Yeah, our brains were fucking blown.
I remember, like, I remember when Step Brothers came out
because I remember it came out in the in the movie theater.
And then everyone in school talked about it.
Oh, yeah. And I was like, what are you
talking about? And like, you haven't seen Step
Brothers yet. And I had a friend of mine, he's
like, because like my parents, they even got to let me go see
Step Brothers. Yeah, well, at a buddy, he was
(43:03):
like, dude, give me your iPod. He's like, why?
I'm going to put the movie on there.
You can watch it later. And I was like.
Yes. That's huge because they would
get the. It was like the age of like
Pirate Bay and the RIP. We did that one.
Tropic Thunder, Zombieland. That's how I watched all those
movies, Yeah. Fucking bad.
Yeah. Yeah, well, we really did grow
up in such a fucking awesome eraof movie in entertainment.
(43:25):
That's true. Like the SNL, same thing.
Like SNL was the best then. Oh, 100%.
What was that? Is it too late to say that was
the Sandburg days or was that? No, that's around the time
because that's like when Hot Rodcame.
Out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dude, the willing island sketches were great.
Now I'm on a boat. So many fucking.
I think I missed I missed the jizz in my pants one.
(43:46):
That was the first one. Yeah, that one missed me.
And I was like, how did they getaway with this back then?
You know, like, how did they getaround that?
And then, like, you see the other ones and like, what was
the sequel? I think it was Mother's Day.
Yeah, Yeah, that was that one. That one.
And the threesome like Lady Gaga.
(44:07):
They fucking went there. Yeah, they used to just not give
a fuck. Oh yeah, I remember watching the
one with my parents, which was the when they did Jack Sparrow
with Michael Bolton. And my dad was like, what is
this? And I'm like, I don't know,
like, but it's making me laugh. Yeah, they're going for it.
Yeah, yeah. I wish there was more like
absurd. Like, I guess it's kind of like,
(44:29):
what? What's that dude's name?
He has a new movie with Paul Rudd.
Tim Robinson. Yeah.
Yeah. Like, I think you should leave.
Yeah. There's a lot of his stuff that
I watched and I'm like, I don't get it.
Like I don't know why everyone'scracking up at it cuz it's like,
I don't understand what the bid is.
And then it's like some of them I can.
(44:50):
I was like, oh, this was funny. That's how it was on him.
I didn't watch that that much of.
I think you should leave. It's probably good, but it's
just one of those things I haven't watched yet.
But I went back and watched his show.
Detroiters, have you watched anyof.
That I keep seeing it pop up like on my like one of the
streaming services I. Think it's like Hulu or
something. I went back and watched it and
it made me understand, like, I get why people like him because
(45:11):
I was kind of the same way whereI was like, what's going on with
this? And I watched it and it's just
that stupid going forward humor that like you have with your
friend, yeah, that he's able to like kind of capture with his
other buddy. So I would say if you want to
like, dip your toe into him, watch Detroiters because I'm
almost done watching that where I'm like, oh fuck, now I'm ready
to watch his. I think you should leave.
I know one of the comics got me into Louder Milk.
(45:34):
Yeah, that's a good one, too. That's fucking great.
Yeah. I think it was like halfway
through like the first season, and then I got distracted
because there's so much to watchand catch up on.
Even growing up like Workaholicswas hugely influential with my
friend group and everything likethat.
Just because watching their stuff before I think it was like
Broken Lizard when they're not broken Wizards it's.
(45:56):
Adam Devine and those guys, I can't think what their names
are. Yeah, what's the mail order
comedy is was the name of their Oh, OK.
So they that was their original like YouTube page and stuff like
that where they would do skits. And I think Comedy Central was
the one that gave them money to do Workaholics.
And then just following them andthen hearing them on podcast
interviews. And Adam Devine was just a host
(46:18):
of the improv and was just doingsmall shit around LA and stuff
and then found them and then hiscareer kind of blew up.
So no, it was just like. You watch Righteous Gemstones at
all? Yeah, Gemstones is great dude.
Did you see that coming like with him?
No. Like with Adam's character and
like the last season, I was, I was like, maybe because I
(46:39):
thought they were just going to keep that going, like.
Just kind of teasing. It yeah, like maybe they are,
maybe they aren't. And then the last season were
like no full. Yeah, they tripled down.
Yeah. You know, I wasn't expecting
that full turn. Yeah, it's just the way they
went back and forth like you're like, it's probably how it would
go down. Yeah, 100% yeah, yeah.
That show is fucking awesome. Dan McBride's the man Eastbound
(47:00):
and down growing up like on the show on Sunday, our families
would get so excited to come over from my grandma's house
because we all were going to watch Eastbound and Down on the
TV. It's weird, I think Jim this
last season, the gemstones was like the first one where I was
actually like, I hate every one of these characters except the
dad. Oh yeah, like all of them are a
piece of shit. Even baby Billy was kind of
(47:22):
getting on my nerves that last season.
But I don't know that I was just.
I just shared the 1 today where him doing the teenagers musical
and it was like just turned the other cheek and everybody was
like that's something we're bringing to the this is the vibe
I'm bringing to the club. That's funny.
He like, yeah, I, I was surprised how hard that show
went. And then I was like trying to
(47:43):
tell my brother about it. I said, I'm going to give you a
disclaimer. And he goes, what's that?
There's a lot of Dicks. Oh yeah?
Well, HBO as soon as it has the OR Max.
Yeah, HBO just loves showing cock something about HPI don't
know I'll I'll make the rules, but they they cash a.
Check the ratio doesn't even like balance out like anymore.
Like I could say if it was half and half I could be all right,
(48:04):
that's fair. But no, they're just like, Nope,
just a full cock. Oh, cock.
And you're not allowed to show cock or else it's rated R or
rated XI. Guess it's considered porn.
So that's why any cock that you see on screen's a fake cock.
Yeah, which makes sense. Asking why?
I know that, but I do my research.
That makes sense. I like when they were like, I
(48:24):
think was it they were interviewing the guy plays Baby
Billy and he was talking about someone Guys like, dude, is that
really how you look? He's like, no, because that's an
80 year old man because they have him as a stand in.
I was like, what are they photoshopping his cock?
Like in the same area kind of thing.
That dude cracks me up. Like he's good in almost
(48:44):
everything he does. Yeah, he's the.
Man, yeah, I'm going. To check to see how much time I
got left on the camera. Cool, that's 7 minutes.
