with that. He's.
Making this noise and it's I feel wrong for laughing, 'cause

(03:55):
time. I watched RE Maddie get
cornered. What?
By some Ari? Yeah, he got cornered by this
like some upcoming comedian. Did he get mugged?
And he's just like, no, like he was cornering him at the party.
He's like, dude, listen, man, I'm telling you like, if you do

Like you hear the crowd, He's like, give it up for Heidi and
fucking everybody's like. That was that was a perfect
Hinchcliff, and that was a perfect Hinchcliff.

It's just like I what is maybe like an Austin 10.
I don't no I. Mean she's great looking, but
it's also like I have I also go it's.
Just like weird the way they hype it up sometimes.
It's like she's so hot that I can't live in the fantasy.
Like, I know it's it. I couldn't imagine because I'd

(05:41):
be like, Oh no, clearly this woman's too hot for me.
I don't think you should look atthings.
Like Carmel Lecture, like she's one of those ones.
Like, yeah, she's gorgeous of course, but she's almost too hot
that I can't like. Imagine.
Myself and that's all. The ones that are super hyped up
I'm not like super into. Like every.
Like Megan Fox, like, like, yeah, of course, like all these

(06:03):
women are pretty of of course, like they're very.
Yeah, like Sabrina Carpenter andlike Sidney Sweeney and stuff.
Like I would be Homer Simpson tothem.
That's that's. You can't look at it that way
though, because they like might like whatever you are, you know
what I mean? Because, like, there's always a

(06:23):
Marge. Dude, I'm like 5-6 and like 150
lbs. Like I've had like women be like
you. I want you to throw me around
and I'm like bitch, you're goingto have to throw me around.
Like I can't do that. I'm only £150.
Dude, like, you know, they say The Simpsons predicted
everything. I think The Simpsons predicted
my love life. What I said, I want to watch.

(06:43):
I want to watch the. Heritage.
That's what I'm weighing. Blue haired Marge, you want like
a one of those beehive haircuts,all blue.
Yeah, one with a smoker voice too, that.
Yeah, I like a good smoker voice.
I took my kids trick or treatinga couple years ago and we went
past this house and this lady, she's just like smoking fucking

(07:05):
Virginia Slims and she's just like.
Hey, can't see some candy, only take 2.
And I'm like yo this lady is just like blowing smoke in the
kids face. Dude, my Spanish teacher had a
smoker voice and so and she was like a short Italian woman yeah
that taught Spanish and she'd just be like yo Miyamo S Miyamo

(07:29):
SI loved her though. She was the best cause like our
freshman year we had this substitute principle that was
kind of like a, a lightweight, like a pushover.
And she hated him 'cause like kids would just walk over them
like, oh shit. And she like basically would
like berate him every time she could.
Oh man, maybe it was into that dude.
And she's like, I can't say nothing, 'cause the powers that

(07:52):
be, Oh my God, would frown upon that when they really need to
fucking hear. I was like, holy shit.
And we're like, go get a message.
Yeah, I loved her. She was the best.
Like she would cuss out and if she'd have your back if she if
you were in the right and someone like was after you and
she's like, no, he's a good kid.You're wrong.

(08:13):
Did she give the kid cigarettes at all?
What grade was this? Oh, that was freshman year high
school. You're in high school.
Yeah, I'm literally coming out of middle school.
It's a wake up call, 'cause likeyou're now you're hitting the
the heavy duty hitters of like teachers.
Yeah, I was on drugs all throughthat time real bad.
So like, I didn't give a fuck what they were doing.

(08:34):
Dude. I'm like fuck you.
So I heard a term today at work 'cause at the screw up at the
time this comes out, I quit my job.
I quit my job. Yeah, fuck that motherfucker.
Yeah, yeah. Please hire me back in case I
want to. Yeah, anyway.
If he wants to come back, he didit right.
But like, so I quit my job and Iimmediately got super sad.

(08:59):
Like, you know what I mean? Like, do you ever like you're
comfortable at a place for like so many years?
Oh yeah, Most of the jobs I've had, I've had for like very long
periods. Yeah, like five years.
So, so like when you quit, you're like, I kind of feel like
I'm like, you feel like you're stabbing them all.
Like you, like I just killed everybody here and I just feel
really bad about it. Well, for me, a couple of my
jobs, just like they closed business.

(09:21):
Yeah, I worked for RadioShack for years.
I was a manager at RadioShack. Dude I worked at RadioShack.
What year? I don't even know dude.
I wore all the way up until theyclosed.
I was at from 2011 I think to 2013.
That sounds about like around where I was probably like 2013
to 20. Yeah.

(09:43):
I. Remember we had a little bit
earlier, we had the Gray and black and then we had the red
and black. Yeah.
Being a manager was sick, but that's how I got into Sprint.
Remember when they combined withSprint?
I jumped on the Sprint side. I became a manager on the Sprint
side and I was like making way more than the fucking RadioShack
side. I'm like yo, you guys are

(10:03):
getting fucking ripped off. Dude, I used to have, I remember
we had the, the, the year I started working at RadioShack
was the year they said we're going to work through
Thanksgiving. Like you're gonna come in
Thanksgiving night. Yeah, yeah, it was the first
time. And I was, so I said screw it,
'cause they had me book Thanksgiving night, all them
and. I had to.
Work Black Friday morning. The Doctor Dre Beats were on

(10:27):
sale. That was a hot ticket then.
Remember that. They were like. 50 bucks.
They were the red ones too. And they had, yeah, they had all
the colors. It was the iPhone 4S just came
out. Remember when you could sell all
the cell phone services? Yep.
Verizon. Go.
And the Commission was so fucking good.
The. Money was sweet.
Dude, it was so good. And then they slowly started

(10:49):
tapering back every every sales job I've ever had.
They're like, every time you hear we we're restructure,
restructuring Commission, you know, it's bad.
They're like, trust me, it's gonna be better for you and it's
never fucking better for you. Dude, you lose money, they gain
money. 'Cause I was there right when
they switched over to the new one.
Yeah. And the one guy was like, I'm

(11:10):
getting fucked. He was pissed and he was like,
I'm done. Yeah, because they used to make
more money. That's why they were cycling
employees, because every time they'd restructure Commission,
motherfuckers would make less and people would quit and go
other places. Yeah, I was a key holder at the
Washington store. Yeah, man, I, I, I used to hang
out with the dude from the Therewas a real cool guy that owned
the McMurray store and like his store was cool 'cause it was

(11:33):
always dark. And I was like, I love this
story. I was.
Like Jack off in the dark together.
No, they would just hang out in the dark and like what's up
dude? I don't know dude, sounds kind
of sketch. And then like we'd always fuck
with each other and shit. In the dark, No, I remember.
One time that I would just be like, I we'd be goofing all
because it's like completely dead on a Sunday.
Yeah. So we just play music and stuff

(11:53):
and start. Dance.
Parties and shit do karaoke and I was.
Usually pretty fucking dead I. Remember there was one guy me
and him would just constantly high 5 each other except the
high fives were like as hard as like he could slap you like just
your hand. My hand went like blood red.
And whoever won got got the fuckthe other guy.
Nah, we were just bored and it was just dumb shit to do.

(12:15):
It was clean innocent fun. No gay overtones, hopefully.
That's what they always say, dude.
RadioShack was fun. I had a lot of fun there and
like I made like good money until they restructured the
Commission a million times. I hate this one district
manager. I hope he dies in a fire.
I hope his plane goes down over the.

(12:36):
Walls. Oh, I know Scott.
I know who Scott Walls is. Yeah, OK.
And then there was another guy. Jason.
Jason Momoa. It's the one who took his spot.
Yeah, it was some guy. It was a guy named Jason, I
think. I can't remember his last name.
It starts with an R but I hate that dude.

(12:59):
He was such a Dick to me. Scott, yeah, Scott.
Scott was cool with me for a little bit and then he got like
towards the end whenever like all the stores started closing
and shit, he got so shitty and Iwas like OK dude, like go fuck
yourself man. Yeah, it was just.
Like we're the one. Like I know he was going to lose

(13:19):
his job too, but like, you're the one lying to us.
So they told us we were going tostay open in Newcastle, the
Shenango one. And they lied.
So they had us, like me and a few other people go and help
close all the surrounding storeswhile reassuring us that we were

(13:41):
going to be OK. And then like when we were the
last one, they're like, all right, well, you're done.
I'm like, what? Yeah, that's fucking nuts.
And that's when I jumped fully into Sprint.
I got, I ended up working for Sprint.
Then I was a manager. Then like I worked up to like
pretty much like a district manager.
I was managing like 5 stores. Where's where is Sprint anymore?

(14:04):
They fucking got bought out by T-Mobile.
That's how I lost my Sprint job.I was with them for fucking
years man. I was managing like 5 stores man
from like Pittsburgh to Erie. Sprint.
In Youngstown, OH, fucking a whole bunch of them.
Dude who? Would have thought T-Mobile
would overtake Sprint, right? Like we made fun of T-Mobile,
Sprint would make fun of T-Mobile.
It was like a step down. Yeah, it was, dude, 'cause I had

(14:27):
T-Mobile when I was younger and that service saw that's where I
was. I know it's pretty good.
T-Mobile was. Right on the same thing as Boost
Mobile. They were like.
Right in comparison with. Well even boost worked better
for me. I had boost whenever I was like
younger and shit. Dude, we worked at RadioShack
when 4G would just came out. 4G LTE was a big deal.

(14:47):
Yeah, yeah. How about 5G now?
Sometimes I prefer 4G. Is that crazy of me?
I feel like my 5G fucking blows sometimes man.
I'm like why is it going so slow?
It's supposed to be better. It's because every time it feels
like they give you unlimited data but they still throttle
you. Yeah, I'm going to fucking
throttle them. Yeah, do.
You remember when the four gigs was a huge.

(15:08):
Deal. I mean like dude, I'm talking
like at all times. So like even beginning of the
month it doesn't fucking matter.My 5G sometimes goes slower than
like if it was just 4G I'm like why is it doing this?
Dude, I fuck man. I remember like I was a big
deal. I had 20 gigs on my Internet

(15:30):
thing and I was like alright, I can't go over 20 gigs.
Oh yeah. And I had to like use the Wi-Fi
at work and stuff and. Do you remember free nights and
weekends? Do you remember that?
Yeah, yeah, that's when I had the old brick phone.
Damn. Or they only had snake on those
fucking things. Oh yeah, they played the shit
out of some snake. Yeah, and then what's the one
with the It's like Pong, but you're busting the bricks.

(15:53):
Oh yeah, I think it's just called Brick Buster.
Yeah, busting bricks. What's that one with the the
Mario guy? Yeah, what's that called?
I think it's called. Mario dude.
Dude I love the Mario games. Yeah, I do.
I play all the Mario games, I'm not gonna lie.
Oh, it's not. It's not even like super Oh

(16:14):
Sunshine's fun, dude. Sunshine's one of my favorite
ones. That was the one I remember like
that was. The GameCube one originally.
GameCube is the best. GameCube is so slept on dude.
GameCube had. I got a GameCube.
I'm a huge Resident Evil fan. I bought a GameCube specifically
to play Code Zero. Resident Evil or no Code

(16:37):
Veronica? I think it was they had Code
Veronica and then they had Resident Evil 0 that were
specific or no maybe. Maybe it was the Dreamcast that
was Code Veronica. GameCube was definitely zero.
Maybe Code Veronica, but I bought it specifically like for
that. Did you see they announced a new

(16:57):
one? Yeah, I'm so excited.
I just replayed Resident Evil. I'm at like the last boss on
Resident Evil 8 Village right now.
Yeah, prepping, prepping. I'm going to play 4.
I played seven before it. I'm finishing up 8.
I'm going to replay the four remake next.
Like I'm prepping, dude. I I loved 5 and everyone hated

(17:18):
5. 5 was OK it was way more action oriented, which like is
cool like I like a good mix, butit leaned too far into the
action I for for me as a survival horror.
I like you know what I mean? You like the?
Scares. Yeah, see I.
Don't. That's the problem.
I like survival action. But like it was easier I would

(17:43):
say. And then 6 was just God awful.
I hated 6. Yeah, 6 didn't even look good
and it just. 6 Everybody hates six man 6 sucks. 4 was probably
the pinnacle 'cause it was the first like like you're over the
shoulder like type. It was completely like.
Looks like they used the tank controls but changed.

(18:05):
It yeah, man, yeah. But I don't.
Have you played any of the remakes?
I did, and I was playing three. Yeah, dude, what a great remake.
Oh, it's so good. I've Nemesis scares the fuck out
of you, dude. Yeah, he's always lurking, man.
It's such AI love that. Like, I love that, that kind of

(18:25):
thing. That's why I like 7:00 and 8:00,
because people are always just like you're like hiding.
Yeah, yeah, dude, I, yeah, 7:00 and 8:00.
I was like, I can't the first person I won't be able to sleep
at night. I was skeptical about the first
person and the way they pulled it off.
The first guy in seven, Jack Baker, Yeah.
Utterly terrified me dude. Oh yeah.

(18:47):
Like I my heart would race, I would like, like I would scream.
Playing that game did. You ever see the people who
played it in VR? I want to try VR.
I haven't seen it. I was watching people in it.
You just see them centering, like they're just sitting there,
like, yeah, dude, 'cause he. Busts through walls and shit,
man. Like you're trying to, like

(19:08):
you're just walking down the hallway and all of a sudden Jack
Baker busts through the wall with like a pitchfork or some
shit. Man VR already has me on edge
already because like when they do that, like anything with
heights, I'm terrified I'll start freaking out.
I was like no way. I think I would be all right
with that just because I know it's VR but like so like the

(19:28):
heights thing doesn't bother me.It's like the the jump scares
and like, so like, so like with Resident Evil 7, like the jump
scares lesson, in my opinion, like the scariest guy is the
first guy in the house, Jack Baker.
Like after that, it gets less and less scary and more and more

(19:48):
action oriented. You know what I mean?
And it paces really well. So like, it's not like it's not
good throughout the whole thing.It's just the, the first part in
that house with that, it remindsme of like House of 1000 Corpses
or Devil's Reject type of people.
And like, that's scary. That is creepy, especially like

(20:11):
those kind of movies. Did you ever watch Book of Eli?
Yes, it's been. It's been a while though.
There's like a part where they go to, like, this one house and
the family's being all nice to them, and then you notice their
hands are shaking and then they go out back and they look and
it's just a mass grave. It's like, oh, they're just
killing people and eating them. Yeah.
Right. Yeah, wrong turn.

(20:32):
Ruined cannibals like that. That's the.
The original, they're still making those fucking things.
They they, I guess they remade it, except they didn't make them
about cannibals. It's just a cult.
Cults can be scary too but I don't know the the first the
first couple wrong turns were pretty all right.
Like I mean shitty acting but like gory.

(20:54):
Which cults are? Scarier because there's a
possibility they might actually,yeah, be real.
It might act. They might be something
supernatural with it. I don't know, maybe like.
You know what I mean? Like, because sometimes it's
like, oh, I. Believe in ghosts.
They're not real. Like they're not clearly
actually having a demon with them.
Oh yeah, they are like because it's a cult.

(21:14):
I think they might be trying, but I think people are stupid as
fuck and they just believe stupid ass things.
Yeah, these demons are going to get you, boy, and fucking that
ain't going to happen. Yeah, I don't know, man.
I've seen some weird cult thingsare weird.
Sometimes, yeah, man. What's your favorite like cult
story to watch? Cult because like you got
Jonestown, which is a cool one. Like when I say cool, like it's

(21:37):
very interesting. The story is interesting.
What's his name from Waco, TX was pretty interesting.
They had to stand off in the church.
Do you ever watch that series? Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, because I've been to Waco,TX whenever I was really young.
Do you guys? I was in the cult dude.
I got out. Wait.

(22:02):
That's a true story. I got out.
Dude, seriously. Yeah, I was like 8.
No way. Seriously.
Oh my God, dude, I was so like you.
You had me on that. Dude, was that who it was?
Correct. Yeah, I was buying it.
I was like, shit. I was like no way.

(22:23):
No, I had family that lived overthere and we, we, we drove over
there. That's the only time.
That's the farthest W I've been.I'm too young to fully remember
it. I want to go back.
It's just a weird story because it's kind of like when you, the
more you look into it, the more it's like you did kind of
provoke them. Like, yeah, they were crazy.
Don't get me. Wrong.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you definitely did set them

(22:43):
off. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, I don't know.
You can't just let this guy go around fucking everybody's
wives, right? It's nice but like it was one of
those legs and shit. Dude that was nuts.
Yeah, it was one of those like, but they did use excessive
force. Like they did burn those people.
Right there, what cops stories they all use excessive.
Not all of them. There are.
I will say there are like I don't like the bad apples cause

(23:06):
like there are a lot of bad apples.
I don't I don't go that way, butI do respect in like a lot of
law enforcement. I have friends and shit, you
know, that do it and I think they're good guys and they do
it. Whatever.
Yeah, I just like, you know, most of the time, dude, cops are
Dicks, bro. Yeah, cops are fucking Dicks.
Yeah, I just got, I just got off.
I got to check out my first speeding ticket today.

(23:27):
Would you blow him? Huh.
Would you blow him? Nah, he was actually pretty nice
about it. He was.
Quite. Is it too big?
Huh. Is it too big?
Nah, he's just scared of it. Nah, yeah, a little bit.
I'm. Afraid you have a big old hog
you. Know but it was it was cool like
he was actually like pretty coolabout it like he was just like
hey man like. That's hard, yeah.

(23:48):
And he, he caught me right in the spot, like where it goes
from 35 to 25. Yeah.
And I'm like, oh, jeez. Like you gotta be kidding.
Yeah, I always try and be respectful too.
Usually goes a lot smoother. There have been times where like
I've gotten annoyed because I'm like, all right, dude, like just
give me the fucking like, what do you say?
Like most of the times I get pulled over, they want to search

(24:09):
my car and like I don't have anything ever in my car, dude.
Like so I'm like like it's just it gets annoying.
Like after the first few times Icould understand but like it,
yeah, it like continued and I'm like dude, I don't have anything
and like now I'm just getting annoyed because this happens
every time and I don't get pulled over often.

(24:30):
But Oh yeah, that would that would annoy me if it's like,
dude, this is like the fifth time this.
Week. What's up?
Oh, well, it's not in a week. Yeah, I really don't get pulled
over that often, but like, but still, the times I have, I'm
like, all right, why? Is it because I have like hand
and finger tattoos and that? Dude's got smuggler vibes.
Yeah, yeah, I guess I do. He's hiding fucking a kilo coke

(24:53):
up my asshole. It's the hair.
I could fit it dude. I have no doubts of that.
I have actually 0 doubts. I'll pop it right in there.
They pay me enough. Yeah, you're like, oh shit, it's
starting to dissolve. That's like.
I guess the cops pops now they're like, yeah, he'll do
that. That was my favorite.
I like how like that's literallythe first episode of Rick and

(25:15):
Morty. Oh yeah, is he trying to smuggle
those seeds up his ass? What a little champ.
Yeah, he did it. And then it's like they
dissolved in him and he's just like tripping like the whole
time. Like oh shit, I guess.
Well, that would end. Bad with cocaine though, You'd
just die. Have a cocaine bear situation.
That was, I actually liked Cocaine Bear.

(25:40):
I mean, hey, you got to have some.
Dumb. It was like a stupid shitty
movie but like I feel like they pulled it off in a fun way.
Oh yeah, I thought it was fun. I mean.
Do you like the Terrifier movies?
I don't really, it just looks. Dude it's so gory and fucked up
I love it. Did you see the same studio that

(26:01):
does those? They're releasing the.
The Epstein files. No, it's the it's the Toxic
Avenger movie. Oh, I love dude.
I love trauma films. There's a new one coming out
with Peter Dinklage as Toxie. What?
He's so short. How's he going to do that?
Just. Not the mean way, sorry.
In between the breaks. Trying not to be politically

(26:23):
incorrect, but like when? I have to go check the cameras
the. Toxic Avengers tall dude.
As soon as I get, as soon as I stop the recording, I'm going to
show you the video of this because you have to see the
trailer for it. It's.
It's I'm down for it, I just watch class of Nukem High like
maybe like a month ago. I heard about these like, it was

(26:44):
like right when I got out of high school, like we finally had
the Internet at my house. It figures.
Wait, wait. When I graduate high school,
Hey, let's get the Internet. Yeah.
Thanks, guys. I appreciate you.
And so I'm like just, I would just look up movies randomly.
Nazi surfers must die dude. Like come on bro, it's fucking
such a good movie. Such shitty movies in the best

(27:07):
way. Yeah, like they're horrible.
Movies, yes, but they're so horrible.
They're good. Yeah, It's that type of movie.
And it's like the guy that like,it's weird because it's like
that's where James Gunn, the guythat's doing Superman, came to.
Yeah, yeah, like doing movies. Like, I didn't even, I didn't
even think about that. You're right, dude.
It's him and he did Scooby-doo like in in like Dawn of the

(27:28):
Dead. That's crazy.
And then when you watch those movies, you're like, yeah, I can
see the influence. Yeah, that's why those movies
are a little bit weird. One of my favorite trauma films.
Poultry Geist. It's a poltergeist.
It's a it's a chicken place, like a chicken restaurant, like
AKFC or whatever. It's a their version of AKFC

(27:49):
built on an Indian burial ground.
Sometimes you're like, who came up with this idea?
And it's like somebody it's on acid.
It's so fucked and it's so gory and good.
Yep, that's the time I go check the camera.
I'll be right back. Right.
And we're back, yeah. So yeah, you were giving your
thoughts on the the new Toxic Avenger movie.

(28:13):
Yeah, I'm definitely going to watch it.
It looks good. There's a lot of people I like
in it. Yeah.
Kevin Bacon, Dude. I've been watching Kevin Bacon
since Dude Tremors, would you? OK, so Kevin Bacon's in this
movie. Did you ever see Super?
Super. It's a James Gunn movie and it's
with Dwight from The Office and it's like his wife like used to.

(28:37):
Fucking Kevin Bacon. Yeah, Holy shit.
Yeah, it is. Dwight doesn't have a chance,
dude. It's Kevin Bacon, right?
That's what I'm saying. So like, it's one of those like
he gets so like messed up, 'cause she left him, he ends up
like having this moment where God touches his brain and
basically believes he needs to become a superhero.

(29:00):
White, yes. Oh shit, and his weapon of
choice is just a wrench and he hits people over the head
basically killing them. It's a good weapon of choice if
it's big enough I guess. Yeah, And he's like, don't cut
in line. And like, he just kills a guy.
It's like, what? Yeah.
Elliot. Elliot Page when they were Ellen

(29:21):
Page. Oh, shit, yeah.
Wow. Yeah, no, I'm surprised I
actually haven't seen that. Yeah.
It's a fucked up movie, like very dark.
It sounds pretty fucking good, yeah, but like with, with the
new Toxic Avenger, like I said, like I I'll definitely like it.
I'm gonna watch it, but I, I don't think I can consider it a

(29:47):
trauma film because it, it lookstoo high budget.
Trauma films are low budget fucking like it's the whole
point of them a lot of times it's just it's like so corny.
Yeah, it's supposed to be bad. Yeah, like.
By the way, I forgot. In the best.

(30:07):
Way and I'm looking at the thingand I think it's picking it up
on the mic. Turn it off real quick.
Yeah, let me let me turn it off real quick.
You can keep talking. I'm talking.
You were talking about trauma movies.
Like the whole point of them is to just kind of be like, well, I

(30:27):
don't know, the point of them issupposed to be low budget or
whatever. It's just what they're working
with. But like, that's what makes them
so lovable and why they've endured as long as they have.
You got like Tromeo and Juliet. I think I said Nazi surfers must
die. Toxic Avengers.
Dude, there's like 5 or 6 of them.

(30:49):
Return to Nukem high. Nukem high.
Classic Nukem High, a poultry guy.
Like there's so fucking many. 4th one of the guts would play
on like G4 TV. Oh yeah, remember G4 TV?
No dude, what's G4? Sounds like ESPN ain't the Ocho.
So it kind of in the days when everything was had a dedicated

(31:13):
channel, G4 was the video game channel.
Oh, I think I do remember that. That's where like Olivia Munn
got famous from. She was on like X play.
Yeah, I think. She'd always like to do all the
superhero cosplay, and I'm like,yeah, like, that's when you
discover like. Oh yeah, You're like, wow, I
like when girls dress up like anime girls.

(31:33):
Yeah, that's hot. Yeah, you're like, oh, women
exist now. Like, you see Olivia Munn, that
was my, that was my Daisy Duke growing up.
Yeah, I didn't watch Dukes of Hazzard.
That wasn't my bag. My cousin Tyler, that was his
thing. He loved.
Dude. Everything was Dukes of Hazzard
with that fucking kid. My brother that was his like

(31:56):
favorite show is his favorite show.
Still to this day. Oh.
For sure. And so I grew up with it like.
I love the Confederate flag. No, I don't think so.
That's not why I don't like Duke's.
Yeah, Hazard, by the way, 'causeI don't, I don't, I mean, I
don't know the symbolism behind that in that show, but like,
they're just a bunch of good oldboys, never main into harms.

(32:18):
And get that flying around here,I think I got.
Him. But like, I don't know, it just
wasn't my thing. I was a Power Rangers kid, dude.
Oh, OK, that's fair. I loved Power Rangers growing
up. I like Power Rangers.
Transformers fucking I don't know, like I like those kind of
thing. I I never got into I was never
into wrestling. Like so many people are into

(32:40):
wrestling and I'm like, I just like, I watch some but like.
There was a small period that I was and it was like right when
smack down, here comes the pain.Yeah, came out like those.
I don't know what that is. Yeah, no.
Like I've ever watched on TV. Played a couple video games,
yeah. The games were the best, yeah.
Like those early PS2 wrestling games, like right up to like

(33:01):
Smackdown versus Raw. Yeah, those games were awesome.
Cage matches and ladder matches and shit.
Dude the ladder matches were thebest.
One of them had this this mode called the bra and panties match
and you'd make the Divas fight each other and it was like
whoever. Wow, it was a different time,
dude. Yeah, no, that's really shit
like that, dude. They have the wow what's the one

(33:23):
fighting game where it's just all hot girls in like skimpy
outfits fucking. Oh, that was like a backyard
wrestling I think or something. No man, it's like a fucking
anime more type game. I can't think of the name of it
now. Oh, dead or alive?
Yeah, yeah, I think that is it. It's just all hot girls with
like fucking thongs going up their asses and shit and they're
like, yeah, make make em fight each other.

(33:44):
Yeah, that's, that's another, that's another bad video game
movie. There's there's one out there
for that. So many bad video game movies
man. What do you think?
Who? What do you think's done it the
best? Dude, The Witcher 3, The Witcher
series on Netflix is so good. It's so accurate and so good,
and they play their roles all for the most part.

(34:06):
Pretty fucking wild, dude. Yeah, yeah, that was a good one.
But I think that one's based more off the books than it was
the game. Which the game is based off the
books, so yeah, I guess it's fair, yeah.
It's a different out of tape, but that's.
Pretty fair with the book being involved.
But you can tell there's an influence from the book game in

(34:26):
the. Show, yeah, for sure.
I mean like especially. With the sword fighting.
That and how they look. A lot of that was very true to
how people looked. Oh, OK.
In the video game, some differences, but like, what's
his name? Henry Cart Cavill or whatever.
Yeah, with the white he looked very much like.
Gerald very. Yeah, he's.

(34:47):
I mean, he's pretty fucking spoton.
He's a big, he's a big nerd. Like he knows all that stuff.
He's big in the he's like tryingto do the Warcraft series as a
movie. He quit, didn't he?
He's not. He's not Gerald anymore, right?
Yeah. Or was that a rumor?
Now it's Hemsworth. Hemsworth I.
Don't know how I feel about thatman.
Luke Hemsworth is OK. Like it's one of those, like

(35:10):
it's. It's not even that, it's just we
spent so much time with. What they pissed him off because
he was like, I'm he was very much like stay true to the books
and they're like. No, well, they never fucking do
shows. Never do.
I mean, look at Game of Thrones,man.
Yeah, he, I read he left. I think the rumor was that he
left because he thought he was going to go back to playing

(35:31):
Superman and then they screwed him out of being Superman.
Oh, they were trying to fuck himout of that.
Yeah. So what the fuck are you going
to do? Of course you want to go be
Superman. Yeah, I'd rather be Superman
than a Witcher. I mean, rather, all right, dude,
Superman's like one of my least favorite heroes.

(35:52):
That's fair. Oh, you mean this guy could do
everything? Whoa, like that's fucking lame,
man. You got to look at, but he's
like a he's. Like basically unkillable.
The things they have to throw athim is just like ridiculous and
the times when he does get hurt,I'm like, that is what did it
did. It's weird, 'cause like, he's

(36:13):
not one of those guys that needsto be cool.
It's just because he exists because that that's supposed to
be like the moral. Like, what are you supposed to
be? Aspire to that guy?
Like you want to be like that guy.
He always helps you. Want to be able to catch bullets
with your teeth? No, it's just he always helps
people like he makes. He makes other people want to be
better people. What about whenever he's bad?

(36:37):
Ah, well, yeah, should go sideways something, you know
what I mean? Somebody had a mental rough
patch. Everybody has a bad boy Arrow.
He's. Snorting kryptonite fucking went
off the rails. Dude, that shit, dude.
Smallville fucking ripped. I don't care what anybody said.
I didn't get into Smallville at all.
I'm not a Superman fan, so I didn't get into Smallville.
I didn't watch any of that. I watched the Flash, the Arrow.

(37:00):
Oh. OK.
Or Arrow or whatever. Arrow was good for the first
like three to Four Seasons. Flash was good for a while and
they all kind of fall off because they go pretty long.
Well, it's like after a while the budget keeps getting more
expensive. Did you watch Arrow?
Yeah, Deathstroke and Arrow. But that was the pinnacle.

(37:21):
Yeah. That was what, like season 3 or
4? Yeah, That was like the height
of Arrow. Yeah.
After a while, everybody's like,oh, here's another guy in the
hood. Yeah, yeah.
Right. You had nothing.
Give me something cool. Yeah.
Like that's why. You're gonna do a comic book
show? Give me something cool.
Well, that's why I like, I don'tlike like fucking Scarlet Widow

(37:42):
or Black Widow or whatever the fuck her name is, dude.
Like I'm like, honestly, she's like the secretary for fucking
The Avengers, dude. She answers their phones and
shit. Like tell me I'm wrong in the
movies, the Avenger movies tell me she isn't.
She really doesn't. Yeah.
I mean, she did die in the the last one.
That was a big. Well, whatever, dude.

(38:04):
I don't know. I do like her.
I'm not saying I hate her. It's just like this is a
superhero, no? Yeah, she doesn't really.
She's not a superhero. She's she's a really good spy.
She's the fucking, she's a badass Double O 7 spy, right
man, Which is also cool. But like, I'm watching a
superhero movie. I mean, it's kind of nice to see
like infiltrate shit and like get behind.

(38:26):
It's kind of nice to have that person.
Yeah, I mean, she does her role.But really, at the same time,
it's like, yeah, I mean, don't get hit with nothing too hard.
But like they tried like the whole side so I don't.
I haven't watched very much Marvel shit at all.
I watched the new Doctor Who which was good because Doctor
Who's fucking sick. New spider man movies are always

(38:47):
good. Yeah, I just heard John
Berenthal's coming back to play The Punisher in Spider Man.
That's yeah, that'll be. Did you watch Daredevil?
Yes, yeah, dude, yeah, Daredevilwas awesome, that.
Netflix was. Killing it with the Marvel shows
for a while. Oh yeah?
Well, and then they did for Daredevil.

(39:07):
Yeah, Luke Cage was hit and miss.
Yeah, the first the. First half of Luke Cage really
good. second-half of Luke Cage sucked off.
Then I like season 2. Season 2 I really liked because
that's when you had the the Jamaican dude that he was.
Fighting with Bushmaster. Yeah, yeah.
Daredevil kept it up the whole way through.

(39:28):
It was fire all the way through.Iron just sucked.
Yeah, Iron. Oh my God.
Jessica Jones, I like the first season.
It was like, yeah, yeah. It was like, OK, yeah, yeah,
yeah. I will say the first season I
got into pretty heavy. Yeah, because I like that
villain, the Doctor Who dude. Yeah, right.
He was like. Do you agree most of what

(39:52):
Marvel's putting out lately sucks?
I did like Thunderbolts. Thunderbolts I thought was
Thunderbolts I really liked eventhough like it's Oh my God,
these guys are fighting Marvel'sSuperman.
It's not about the action in that one, like the action's
good, but it's more like that this one actually like hit home

(40:15):
if for like mental health. Yeah, I don't want to deal with
that dude. I deal with that every fucking
day. I'll go talk to my therapist.
I don't know. There was there was a nice like,
like there's a nice father daughter moment with.
Yeah, those things make me cry, dude.
And I did like. Any any dad stuff dude, I'm a
dad. I cry every time dude.
'Cause she's like, she comes home, she's like, Daddy, I'm so

(40:37):
alone. She's like, I just, oh, dude,
that hits me. I was like, oh, I and she's
crying and she, she nailed it. Florence Pew fucking nails it,
dude. Bucky was pretty cool in it.
Yeah, so I like Bucky I. Don't like I don't like some of
these characters. That's my problem.
It's. Just like they're just like such
side fucking characters. But they finally like explain

(40:59):
like some of the big mysteries like, oh, now we know who has
Avengers Tower. It's what's her name that they
introduced in Black Panther? Julia Elaine.
Like she's more like the main villain kind of thing.
See, I just can't get into it, man.
Yeah, the new. Spider Man sets up.

(41:20):
How do you Who's your favorite spider man?
Honestly, like we don't want spider Man or Peter Parker.
Peter Park like Peter Parker outof all the movies.
Peter Parker. Tom Holland.
Me too nails him. He died.
Spider man Andrew Garfield. Yeah, Andrew Garfield, hands

(41:40):
down. Only to a point, I think Tom
Holland is way more witty and sarcastic and jokey as then
Garfield was. Which is how I picture my that's
how like because like I used to read spider man comics and like
that's how I picture my spider man.

(42:01):
He's very like stupid corny ass jokes while he's fighting them
and stuff and I felt like Tom Holland nails that.
See I feel like, so I was talking with my buddy and said
if you notice the three people that have played Spider Man have
represented like almost every like version of Spider Man.
That's fair, yeah. Tobey Maguire represented like

(42:22):
he was almost like the Spider man like as an adult, but he was
like recreating the old 60s liketype movies, the comics you
watch, the new the Andrew Garfield one that was like
Ultimate Spider Man. Yeah, yeah, that was the
alternate universe. And then this one's like kind of
a hybrid like. I can see that.

(42:44):
Yeah, he's like a mix of like. Yeah, 'cause Tobey Maguire is
definitely my second favorite, but I don't like to take away
from Garfield. It's just a whole different
timeline of events. Yeah, like his movies.
Are his movies good? Yeah.
And it's like, But you got TobeyMaguire, who's GOAT status.
Like, do you play the games? Oh yeah.
Oh dude the spider man games areso good.

(43:06):
I don't think there's a that's not true.
There's some bad Spider Man games.
Yeah, there are a couple, but. I was going to say most.
And all the open world ones are good.
Yeah, for the most part. Some are a little.
Glitchy like I had that one fromspider man 1 like for PS2.
Yeah, that's old. Still good it.
Was good at the time but then when they put spider man 2 out
that was like oh this is what I wanted.

(43:26):
Yeah, the newest ones. So good.
Oh, they. Oh.
My God. Like spider man 3 was meh, it
was cool to play as the black suit that's.
It. Yeah, right.
Yeah, but like any any new Spider Man game I jump in same
as Bad Web. Of Shadows is underrated as
fuck. Which one?
Web of Shadows. Oh, yeah, That one got bad
reviews when it came out. And you're like, everybody's

(43:47):
like, this was wrong. This game, Yeah.
There's a lot of games that are like that though, man.
There's some games that get likebad reviews and I'm like, what
are you talking about? This game was really good.
Yeah, like the Deadpool game, it's not the greatest game, but
it's fun. Is it old?
It's like I. Think I played it, it was like
PS3. Maybe I did.
Play it and then it's like everybody's waiting for that re
release for PS5. That would be sick if they made

(44:10):
a new one. If they do it right, they have
to do it right though. I like the X-Men Origins.
Origins, that is that The Wolverine 1, the old Wolverine
one, the only good Wolverine. 1 Well I OK hold.
On they're talking about making one.
Hasn't there been one like in the?
Makeup and. Cuz that.

(44:32):
Cuz they there's all that leakedgameplay, yeah.
Dude, if they take the mechanicsfrom like like Batman and
fucking Spider Man with the senses and like the like, Oh
yeah, that could be. That's how it like it looked
like. Like he was using the.
The senses, yeah, because I likethat mechanic.
Batman, I think is the one that like started it.

(44:54):
Batman Arkham Asylum. And you get to dismember people
again. I was like, yes, yeah.
It has to be. Like the X-Men origin one nailed
that. Like especially when you get
like shot up and you'd see him slowly heal and it's like,
that's badass. I like in the newest Deadpool
how they had all the all the Foxversion of the superheroes.
Dude that was super clever and funny.

(45:16):
I love that it jumped through every like version of Wolverine.
I like whenever he was like Captain America and he's like
Johnny Blaze. That was the best when he I
heard they tried to get Nicolas Cage to come back as Ghost
Rider. Oh my God.
That was they tried so hard. He does every fucking movie in
the world. They might do the weirdest shit.

(45:38):
I think they might be saving himfor secret.
Wars. That would be dope.
There's so much like Secret Wars, you know you're getting
Blade back, so. That is, that is.
The Gambits confirmed for Doomsday.
If they do the secret like the Secret Wars, they if they do it
right, I'll jump back into that because I like the Secret wars.

(45:59):
They did the Marvel Civil War pretty perfectly.
And they're and they're supposedto be doing an X-Men Movie like
their version of the X-Men A. Good one.
It's I liked all the other ones.It's just, you know.
Tell you what, Dark Phoenix getsshit on, rightfully so.

(46:19):
But it's not a bad really a bad movie.
No, I did. I liked all of them in their own
way I guess. Like Apocalypse was kind of like
I was more mad at that one because it's like you give me
the comic book accurate costumesat the end of the movie.
Damn you. It's like, but I was I've still
kind of dug it. It felt like more like the comic

(46:41):
book, like they were trying to be like the comic book.
Do you think Tulsi Gabbard is rogue?
No. Why does she have that strip in
her hair dude it's like. Dude, that's what I'm telling
you. You watch, you watch
Thunderbolts. That's how they pattern her off
of. Oh, really?
They you could tell like it was supposed to be like.
Every time I, every time I see Tulsi Gabbard, I'm like, that's

(47:02):
rug, dude. That's fucking rug.
It's. Just kind of hot though.
Yeah. Like, for sure.
Like I'm just saying I like thatwe live in this era now that
we're like, you know what some of these politicians are.
Yeah. Nate, tell me, a hot politician
when it when you knew growing up, not Bill Clinton, this joke,

(47:24):
Yeah. Monica Lewinsky did.
She wasn't politician, but she blew a politician.
So like by extension she has. Hillary wasn't a politician back
then, so you can't even say Hillary.
No, I wouldn't. Anyway, yeah.
But there was no like, women in politics.
And then like as we go, like OK,like I'm.
Sure, some first lady. Does that count first?
Jackie Kennedy. Yeah, Dude, that was probably

(47:45):
the best looking one. Yeah, Yeah, I would say she was
the best. Does she?
Count, you know. Yeah, Jackie Kennedy.
I mean, any first lady, I would kind of, it's like they count,
but they do. They're not in politics.
Because the the only two you really have to compare with, you
would have to put Jackie Kennedyversus Melania.

(48:09):
Well, yeah, right. So, Melania, do you think
Melania secretly hates Trump? I I bet so yeah, she's like,
she's like, I'm just. She's so tired of dealing with
this. Yeah, she's just like, she's so
close to the end. But I think she's so like far
away from it that it doesn't even touch.
Her. Yeah, dude, she's going to write
a book after he dies. I bet.
You know he's close. He has to be close.

(48:30):
Dude, he's so old. Dude, I'll tell you what, it was
crazy. How about the president drop the
F word on TV? Yeah, I saw that that was.
Wild. Yeah, dude, he's a grandpa.
Moment. Moment.
Dude, he's getting too old. I'm tired of all these old guys.
I'll tell you what, I. Think but like the way I from
what I heard is they said it wasout of frustration 'cause I
think he was so mad he thought he had it right and they did.

(48:52):
And he's just like, it's almost like, you know, when your dad's
like, God damn it. He says shit that's wrong all
the time. Yeah.
I'm just like, I don't know why.And like everybody like, runs
around saying the same thing. I'm like, I don't, I don't know.
If I try to, I try my best to keep my mouth shut, 'cause like,
I don't care what people like orwhatever.
Yeah, but like, sometimes they, I see people saying stuff.
I'm like, that sounds insane, dude.

(49:12):
Just yeah, on both sides too, I'll say that.
Oh, for sure, Yeah, I'm at the point.
I saw some ladies. Both are crazy.
I saw some lady arguing that JoeBiden didn't have mental decline
the other day and like it took everything in me not to be like
you sound insane. Everybody watch that guy slowly

(49:33):
lose it bro there's no fucking. It's like understand something
who but it it does make you wonder because you're like, if
he's like that, who's running the show?
But that's what you're wondering.
Like, say, wait a minute, if you're telling me that you can
run the country for four years while a guy is drooling at the

(49:56):
desk, what do you all do? Who's running the show here?
Who's calling the? Listen, man, I don't want to
sound ageist, you know, but so Iwas doing some research the
other day and I found out that 58%, so we'll just say pretty
much 60% of the world leaders are all boomers.

(50:17):
That tracks. And I'm just like, maybe that's
why shit's so fucked up everywhere, dude.
It's all just these people. So this is the first generation
that held on to power this long.Every other generation there was
a turnover much faster. And like we have, we have new,

(50:37):
not even that dude. People are living longer.
We have better medicine. Like think about the jump the
past 100 years. Like we're talking about people
in their 80s. So like the past 80 years alone,
fucking the the amount of like medical progress we've made,
just like so many different things.
People are living longer, they're healthier longer and

(50:58):
like, they're just like refusingto let it to, to letting go,
dude. Yeah.
So like whenever your Dick can'tget hard, you just start
bombing. Countries.
It's that guy. It's that guy at work that knows
how to do everything but doesn'twant to tell you so you so you
can't. Yeah, that's another thing.
And so they keep everybody stupid.
And then when? Now it's time for the stupid

(51:20):
people to take over. Yeah, man.
Now you fucked everything up. Yeah, that's what like boomers
got to enjoy a lot of things that our generation and the
younger generations just didn't.And they like to just say we're
lazy. And it makes.
US. That's insane dude.
The crazy part is it makes us weaker and other countries

(51:40):
aren't doing that shit. They just kept it going.
No fucking way. So now way more millennials and
soon to be Gen. Z are way more fucking resilient
dude. Fucking they like to call us
lazy and shit dude they could afford a house on one job while
their wife didn't. Like we, we work fucking harder

(52:02):
in a different way. So like there was much more
manufacturing and shit back thentoo.
So like it's they're the ones that fucking sold us down the
river. Yeah, it's all the people
wanting to get rich, and they'rejust like, why do I keep this?
Yeah, it's just great. Like I was listening to Rogan

(52:23):
had like Bernie Sanders on the day.
Oh yeah, Bernie on. Yeah, and like, they actually
make sense. Like they're like Bernie.
Always makes sense dude. He makes sense.
The only thing I was disagreeingwith him on is when he was
talking about like the media andstuff like that was the only.
Part. So he was talking about like, I

(52:44):
think it was Trump was suing CBSand he's like, do you
understand? Like but then he had a really
good argument back that was thatI was like, I can see why you
feel that way now like that maybe see his point of view
cause. Mainstream media, I do not watch
mainstream media. Well, so I, I will see some
things like I, I don't, you haveto understand that like there's,

(53:06):
there's two arms of you have like 1, like Fox News is
Republican, you got MSNBCCNN andshit.
That's like fucking Democrats. You have to take things with a
grain of salt from those in particular.
So that's what he was talking about.
So 'cause he was like, well, he's like, you know, Trump went
after the pollsters, 'cause theywere like, oh, hey, he rigged

(53:28):
the thing or whatever. And then he was like, yeah, but
didn't it turn out that they actually did present false
information and they were biasedagainst him?
And he was like, yeah, he's like, but sometimes he's like,
just because you're going after one person doesn't mean you go

(53:49):
after every person. Because he's like, you know, you
go after the people who actuallyare fucking with you.
Because you don't understand. Anybody.
News has a fucking lawsuit against them right?
That is like 1,000,000 too. And then he said.
Because they both, they're just arms of each Democratic, the,

(54:09):
the RNC and the DNC, they're just fucking propaganda.
And if you look, they're in thiswar.
They're both for this war, both CNNMSNBC, they're leaning
they're man. They want something to pop off.
You know there doesn't normal fucking people.
Yeah, the people that actually get ground up in the machine.

(54:31):
Yeah, man, yeah. I think it says like an
independent poll was like 85% ofpeople, both Republican,
Democrat, are against going to Iran, which like, I don't know,
maybe the peace deal will go through.
Like we're still waiting on that.
Like, there's ceasefire, but like, that's been like chaotic
as fuck. I'm hoping for it 'cause like, I

(54:52):
don't know, I lived through Iraq, dude.
I seen all the propaganda. We're wrong.
I don't want another drawn out thing.
If Trump can, like, get us out of there and like, good, hell
yeah, I'm for it. Like, good job.
We didn't need to do all the extra steps.
But like, whatever, dude. Just as long as we're not there
forever. I look at it, 'cause it's like,
you see both sides of it. You see the part like.

(55:12):
I don't dude. Because it's like, it's almost,
but like, it's weird, like everywar that the United States seems
to be involved with. We lose.
Well, it's like you're we went in Vietnam.
No. Did we win in Iraq?
No. Vietnam.
Iraq. What's one thing they have in
common? People.
Regime change type shit fucking.Especially like the people
you're fighting. There's no clear enemy.

(55:35):
Yeah, you can't see who it is they they can hide in.
Plain sight. No, not even that, man.
It's like with World War 2, likewe were just killing them all.
We were fucking them up. Like whenever you have like shit
like with like some of these Middle Eastern, they're trying
to do like regime changes where like they're not.

(55:56):
We end up there entirely too long.
They end up in civil wars. None of it pans out the way we
want it to, dude. Even the ones where like we're
in and out like fucking what? Like with Gaddafi, like that
fucking whole shit ended up not the exact way we fucking wanted
it either. Nothing works the way we want it
to, man. When it comes to that, we need
to just stay the fuck out of there and let them fucking

(56:17):
figure shit out if they actuallyhad nukes that they were
threatening, OK? It would have been done.
Beat them the fuck up. But my thing is this.
Then they showed the clip from the they did.
From Israel, they didn't have them for just. 30 years he's
been like, Iran's going to have nukes in six weeks.
Yeah, man, right for. 30 years, you've said the same thing.
At some point it's like. Exactly.

(56:38):
Man, dude, you cried. Well.
Oh, I got to check the camera time went by fast on that one.
Cool. Probably.
What time is it? Oh shit, yeah.
Give me one SEC. We're going to do 1 where we're
going to wrap it up and we're back.
Yeah, man, we time went by fast on this one.
Yeah, yeah, we're almost, almostat an hour.

(57:01):
Hell yeah, it feels like, feels like longer, to be honest.
Yeah, well, I mean, you'll have the them strong winds blowing,
man. Sometimes it makes time to slow
down, you know what I mean? Or speed up, I guess.
Yeah. So yeah, we didn't get into much
about you. It's like, when did you start
doing comedy? Like around?
It was around the same time I did, right?

(57:22):
Two years ago, yeah, two years ago.
And like it'll be two years and like a couple weeks.
OK, so yeah, you just start a couple like a little bit after
me. Yep, 'cause I started in May.
Yeah, I started July, Yeah. Yeah.
What was your first mic? My first mic was the Getaway.
Getaway OK. Did not go well dude.
No dudes getaway. I had fun at the Getaway a

(57:47):
couple weeks ago. Yeah, they've been, well, I
mean, they get it was like weird, like when we first
started, like it was one of those like this is this is going
to mold you decide whether you want.
To be a comedian, yeah. And like just, it seems like
recently like it's gotten like really good.
Yeah, yeah, I had fun there, like.
That place has been cooking and it's like, oh.
And then my second mic was Willow Station, and my second

(58:10):
mic I did really good and that'swhat hooked me.
Yeah. I did good on my second set and
I was like oh shit. And I was like, I can do this.
Heck yeah at. Least that's how it felt then.
Yeah. And then I went through like 6
months of like up and down hell.Oh, he's what I felt like.

(58:30):
Yeah, when you first start it's it's rough sometimes like the
first. Six months sucked for me dude.
Yeah, you either have one good joke and then sometimes it's
like, oh, none of this is dude the.
Purge is starting right now. Yeah.
What the fuck is that siren? Oh, there's a fire station up
the street. No.
Yeah, yeah, man. Yeah, the first six months

(58:51):
sucked. After that, started getting
better. Still has shitty periods, but.
We all have like, it's weird, especially when you're starting,
like on new stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Like there's always like, Oh yeah, it's going to start.
New jokes is very brutal. Sometimes you're like, Oh my
God. Yep.
And it's like, there's sometimesit's like, like I've been making

(59:13):
the mistake of like, accidentally bringing somebody
with me. Yeah.
I don't like bringing people with me.
I like going alone. And then you go up and you
think, Oh yeah, this is going tocrush and it crickets.
And you're like, This is why I don't bring people to open
mikes. I like going to to just places
I've never been in front of complete strangers because like
I feel like that also takes someof the pressure off.

(59:37):
Oh yeah, too. Yeah, People.
I don't know these people. I can say what I don't.
Really. Give a fuck.
Yeah. And then I fucking that, that's
like, fun, man. I like that too.
You don't want to do bad in front of your friends even
though like that you're doing open mics and you're going to
have a bad night. Well dude I I hosted a show
recently and like I thought I did terrible.

(59:58):
You always think you do terrible.
But no, like, this was bad because it was like, you're
trying to get laughs, and it's like these people aren't wanting
to warm up. And I was like, Oh my God, I
tanked this. So I like, hype up the crowd
real big to bring up the first comic.
Yeah, they go up and they smoke it.
Yeah, yeah. Then like we had a break in

(01:00:21):
between and I had to hype everybody up again and I was
able to ramp them up for the headliner to go up.
And then like I was heard like, hey, man, like, you know, good
job. Like, you know, and everyone's
like, yeah, great job. I'm like, was it?
I didn't hear any. And the people telling you good
job are the ones that didn't laugh.
So it's like you were out. It was one of those shows like

(01:00:43):
you ever meet that group where like they smile instead of
laugh? Yeah.
That's right. I'm like that's.
It's but they're laughing. They're laughing, but it's just
that it's a nice I. Don't know, I guess I'd have to
see it to really tell you for. Sure.
Yeah, it's like these like. I know that for a fact.

(01:01:03):
There are times where I've done well where I didn't feel like I
do well, because once you like, start getting certain kinds of
laughs, like you're kind of usedto that.
And anything that doesn't, it's like fucking heroin, man.
Oh, yeah, You know what I mean? Like once you read like you have
your CHA, you're just chasing it, chasing that certain feeling
or like trying to surpass it. And yeah, it's, Oh yeah.

(01:01:28):
It's like a drug. Yeah, for sure, I said.
I've done some. I had that one show.
I was up till 4:00 AM I was like, because you're just so,
you're so. Jazzed after?
Yeah, for sure man. Yeah.

nights. We had one of those nights with
Dave Stewart show. Oh yeah, that's.

(01:01:48):
That's the night. Like we were like.

I've been on was Queens. That was that was a fun.
