Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Cincy Shirts Cincy three sixty about Cincinnati from Cincinnati,
sponsored in part by Cincy Shirts. Cincy Shirts all Cincy,
all Day. This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
All right, welcome back Cincy three to sixty. Thanks too,
as you just heard right there, Cincy Shirts. It's our
number two talkbacks coming up in just a few minutes,
where you can leave us your best talkback in the
best talk back of the week is going to get
a Cincy Shirts gift card. Austin. I'm often so impressed
with just the power of our listeners, in the power
of radio.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Now, I don't know, incredible reach. If our guy Josh
Need was listening to himself or if maybe he was
receiving a text messager two that he was to call
in at one o'clock today and be put on the spot.
And I'm sure as any comedian would want just call
in and hey, tell us a joke, funny man, tell
us a joke. And uh, I don't know how it
(00:58):
reached him, but it did. And we have Josh Need
on the line right now. Hi, Josh, what's up?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Boys?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Wow? What a day for you, Josh, Josh, what a
day for you.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Big Day. Fat Randy a new special debt, Fat Randy.
It's fat Ryan, dude. I know you.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Screwed that up.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
It's a it's a reference to YouTube comments of me
for the last fifteen to twenty years of people saying
this guy looks like a fat Ryan Gosling, and that's
where it comes from. But what's hilarious is that you
call it fat Randy, which is a reference to Randy Bullock.
And so that's even more insulting because you're telling me
(01:39):
I look like a fat guy who's already known as
a fat guy. I look like a fatter version of
a fat guy.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
But I'm gonna say, do you kind of regret not
naming it fat Randy?
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Now? It would have been popular in Cincinnati and maybe Columbus.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I can see the Ryan Goslin side though.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
I can see that people people say like it's it's
shocking because I never like, I don't see it, But
when I say it on stage, I can see people's faces.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
In the audience go, oh my gosh, like they hadn't
seen it until I said something. But I only said
something because it's literally all over video comments of me.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
YouTube and everywhere else would you rather be called fat
or heavy?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Oh? You know, I'm just happy that whatever it is,
it's Ryan Gosling, who is like lovable and like sexiest
man alive. If it was like fat Steve Buscemi or
something like that, like that, would that would give me
some real like I would need to talk to somebody
professionally about that.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't know why, but anytime I when I hear
fat and then a name behind it, the first thing
I think of is faut Randy And now unfortunately it
was Albert. Yeah, it was Faut Albert for a while.
Now to me, it's fat Randy. What what goes in exactly,
Josh to doin your own special? This is obviously is
(03:03):
not your first special. But take me behind the scenes
of everything that goes into getting this done for what's
going to happen tonight.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
This one was actually the most work but also the
most fun because when we recorded it we didn't know
where it would end up. It was like, we I
have this material, I want to get it recorded and
then we'll shop it around, Like when I did one
for Comedy Central and one for Drybar. It was done
at their studios. They set everything up, they got the
(03:31):
audience there. This was kind of like all on me
and the production team. So I picked the Memorial Hall
downtown in OTR, which is just the coolest venue in
the city, and we packed it out with five hundred
and fifty people and it was just a very cool
night in and of itself because of the you know,
(03:52):
like when there's crowd shots, you see friends and family
that I've known for, you know, my whole life, and
that makes this one different than any of the other ones.
But it also there's such a higher risk because you know,
if you do it and nobody wants it, then that's
a problem too. So I was glad somebody wanted it
and it came out the way it did, and I'm
(04:13):
very excited.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Have you ever gone to do a special in like
five minutes in, you're like, man, this crowd is just
terrible and you got to maybe scrap it and move
to a different crowd.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Not for recording a special, I try to feel like
I have you know, I've got material at that point.
But I will tell you and if you ever get
a chance to watch this on my Comedy Central Presents,
it starts out with me at a chalkboard. I made
the set look like I was in detention and I'm
like writing sentences on the chalkboard, and then they announced
(04:43):
my name and I turn around to the audience and
I walked down to the microphone and it was like
jammed in the mic stand and when I pull it out,
I hit myself in the mouth with the microphone and
you can't you can't really tell unless you looking for it.
But if you're looking for it, you see me pop
myself in the mouth. And I spent the whole first
(05:05):
five to ten minutes of that wondering if my lips
were bleeding.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
When you're coming up, when you're coming up with with
new material, you know I I know very recently you
opened for Jim Gaffigan and I was able to see that.
And every time I see you, whether you're opening or
you're a main event, I want it to go longer
because I'm I genuinely think you're one of the funniest
people I've ever met. You mentioned this new special. How
(05:33):
important is the family friendly material to you? Josh, It's
very important to me.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I was always pretty clean, but then you know, I
just found that there's a market for it. People like
being able to play comedy when their kids are around,
and so will I find it more challenging to write
clean material, and so I've just kind of leaned into
it because there's there's plenty of material out there that
(06:00):
it isn't clean or suitable for young audiences. So as
a result, I'm not like super edgy, as you know,
but I do. I do enjoy writing material that I
think can be played for whoever wants to listen to it,
and not not be selective because of whatever rating it
might get.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And the special tonight this is this is never before
seen or hard material. Correct, that's right.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Wow, this hasn't been recorded anywhere else, so it's it's
out now. Disruptorcomedy dot com is the only place you
can see it right now, and then at eight o'clock
tonight if you're if you happen to be watching it
at that point, basically you get if you if you
buy it on Disruptor Comedy, you get a link you
can watch it right now or whenever you want, however
(06:45):
often you want, should you decide to go back. But
at eight o'clock tonight, I'll be in the chat room
just talking to people if they want to talk about it,
or talk about comedy, or have any questions or tell
me what others celebrities I look like a fatter version
of that. They can do. So in the chat room tonight.
That'll be at eight pm. I'll pop in there, and
(07:08):
but you can watch it now and whenever you want,
and then eventually, probably a week or so, it'll be
on Amazon and on iTunes and then eventually YouTube and
other places. But as of right now, the Disruptor Comedy
is the only place to see it.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Do you have like a mount rushmore of your favorite
jokes you've told.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Of my favorite jokes I've told. I know you're gonna
say of comedians, this is an easier question.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Your own Stuffica Simpsons.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I would say my garage sale bit is probably one
of the ones people talk about the most. The time
that I farted on Jessica Simpson, which I know we've
discussed on your program, is a great story. I'll put
from this news special, the opening story about my trip
to the jelly belly factory in California. I'd put that
(08:05):
on there, and then I have an old story about
girls not appreciating a guy with a sense of humor
via a conversation I had with a victorious secret employee.
That's another one that I think sticks out. Those would
be my fourth fact.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Are you one of those people? Do you like walk
around with a notebook and like have to write it
down right away, or you have like the notes app
in your phone? Like how do you remember this stuff?
I email?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
It's funny you asked that, because when I mean this
tells you I've been doing this twenty eight years. So
I used to have one of those old like locker
room reporter tape recorders with a tiny, tiny spy cassetti. Yeah,
if I was driving the gigs, I'd have one of
those in my console and i'd pull it out if
I thought of something. Or I remember one time I
(08:56):
thought of a joke at a Reds game and I
had to call call home to leave myself a voicemail
on the answering machine so I wouldn't forget it. But
now I send myself an email and I put a
special subject in there so that when I go back
to look at notes, I can just sort by that
subject and find all my random things and try to
(09:17):
figure out what I was thinking when I sent it,
Because I do that a lot where I go, this
will be hilarious, and I put a couple of words
in there, and then I go back to read it
and I'm like, I have no idea what I was
thinking when I wrote.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
This stuff, Like how long does it take for an
average like thought like that to turn into an actual bit?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
I mean, if I think of it. Yeah, some guys
are good at it, Like some guys are really disciplined.
They'll go to a coffee shop. They'll sit down with
the notebook and like literally write stuff out. And I've
just never found success at that. Like, if something hits
me that I think would make a good joke, then
(09:59):
I just start talking about it on stage without writing
it down, because I feel like when I do that,
it makes me talk the way I would talk off stage,
and that's what I want when I'm up there, is
to just sound like a guy that you're just talking
to hanging out somewhere. And so I don't ever really
write down full jokes. I just write down enough little
(10:20):
words to make me remember what I wanted to talk about,
and then over time, I just you know, trim the
fat and build on it or take away from it
until I feel like it's as good as it's going
to be.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I have to give you props, and I have to
tell you that you're prevalent in the Pike household and Austin,
I don't know if you know this, but there is a.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Prevalent in the house.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah. Because here's the thing. One of my favorite places
on Earth is Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Uh huh. And one of
the first times I ever was around Josh, he was
doing a joke about Gatlinburg, Tennessee. And he also did
a joke about Long John Silvers. And last night my
wife and I were driving around then I was like,
(11:00):
she was like, what do you want for dinner? I
was like, you know what, it feels like a Long
John Silver's kind of night. And she crushed me for it,
and she said, if I if I knew that was
what you were going to say, i'd just stayed home.
And you know, you could have went by yourself. And
so I pulled up the clip Josh of you talking
about gatlinbarg and Long John Silvers. This was a point
in your career you were wearing a tie on stage.
(11:24):
You had like a nice brown half zip and a
tie while you were on stage with it was the
Unsung Hero album. That's right, what is made? What made
you go from tie to sport jacket or sport coat?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I think if I think enough jokes about long John
Silvers and Kathie at Gallen Bird says, this guy doesn't.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Wear ties, tut track out fit time.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah, I should have been up there in an airbrush
T shirt and cut off jean shorts if I really
want to really deliver the kind of things that I'm
talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Every time I'm in Goatlinburg, Josh gets a text when
I'm outside the taffy store. It's unbelievable. Uh, outside of
everything you got going on comedy wise, since E Shirts
continues to just bust amazing stuff out right now. Uh,
you have the Okay Boomer Cincinnati football Tiger shirt out.
You've got the uh smells like team Spirit, which is
(12:21):
obviously in reference to the Nirvana album cover that everyone knows,
and the Norwood lateral for the Norwood Lateral football on
T shirt. How are you guys pumping these out at
such an incredible level the way you guys do.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
You're kind to say it. You guys are very very.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Nice to us, and.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
We love doing stuff that even if we think it
will only make the two of you laugh.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
It is worth it for us.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
The Norwood lateral. I couldnot wait to show you guys.
Paul Dayner and Moople appreciate it. Yeah, but it made
me laugh so hard driving on the Norwid lateral just
thinking of that shirt the Norwood later. It's so dump uh.
But we're just you know, we've become known as like,
(13:11):
uh not a very curated company. Right.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You got the Dactyl shirt as well.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
The Elie Dactyl shirt. And I'll tell you what we're working.
We're finalizing our collection for the Bristol Speedway game and
there is some great Ricky Bobby crossover.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Will will those be offered with? Will those be offered
with no sleeves?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
They can be. I mean, any shirt could be offered
with no sleeves if you've got a pair of scissors
and a will to see things through you guys.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Uh you obviously, uh, you got football covered, you got
baseball covered. Obviously. It's a big weekend as well for
uh for hell is real with FC Cincinnati and just
a real quick plug because you guys do such amazing
stuff and such hard times for people. You guys also
have the God Blessed Texas shirt going on right now,
and I know that you're going to send proceeds to
the car County Flood Relief Fund as well.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, we partner on our in the Clutch site. We
partner with the Biggest Texas Rangers podcast, and so they
had asked us, you know, they'd seen what we had done,
like with DeMar Hamlin and some of the other stuff
that wasn't necessarily Cincinnati specific. But you know, we're very
proud of the company that we've built in the money
(14:29):
we've been able to raise for local organizations or national causes,
and it's just, you know, it's the one thing that
we can do to help. So if people want to
help and buy a T shirt, then great. But you know,
we're always we're always happy to chip in where we can,
even if it even if it's not a local thing.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Well, you've been very generous with your time today. Thanks
for spending fifteen minutes with us. Can you give us
a joke before you leave?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Funny guy, And nothing can't be anything better than asking
a comedian be like, Hey, tell me a joke.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
It's like asking Joe Burrow to throw a pass.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
We were laughing the other day because I was like,
you know, I said, you know, I tell people all
the time when when you tell somebody your comedian, that's
what they want. And then we were watching we were
watching Joey Chestnut on the fourth of July, and I go,
you know what, some days I'm glad I'm a comedian
because I'd rather just tell somebody a joke than somebody
bring me a plate a hot dog and go heythy
(15:30):
for me. I'll think of a good one. I'll think
of a good one. That's that I'll send to you.
And then Tony, I want to hear you deliver it.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Oh, I can do that. I like this one more time.
It's Fat Ryan, not fat Randy. And tell folks how
they can how they can follow along.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Just go to Disruptorcomedy dot com and you'll see it
right there on the homepage. Spend spend seven bucks man,
you just get it. You'll what you can watch it
however often you want, whenever you want. And uh and
I appreciate you guys as always.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
The best seven dollars that anyone can spend. MM. Think
about that one, Josh, thank you so much, mansh You're
the best thanks boys the best that does Josh need
his comedy special coming out, not Ryan Man. Josh is awesome.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
It just made me think talking about Joey Chestnut. Somebody
down the hall was calling in when I was producing
one of the other shows and said that him and
his wife think they should put it. They should let
a German shepherd participate in the hot dog eating. Just
put a German shepherd up there with a plate of
(16:44):
hot dogs and see compared to the rest of them
it is. And I think that's a great idea. It's
as funny as it is true.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Though.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Can you imagine, Like for Josh, it's like, hey, tell
me a joke. I know, for Joey Chestnut's like, hey,
come in and eat some of these dogs.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
It's like when people see they ask us a sports
question right all the time.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Tell me about this, tell me the bangles. For Josh,
it's a funny man, tell me a joke, fucky man.
I love it. We are very appreciative of Josh and

of the ones people talk about the most. The time
that I farted on Jessica Simpson, which I know we've
discussed on your program, is a great story. I'll put
from this news special, the opening story about my trip
to the jelly belly factory in California. I'd put that
(08:05):
on there, and then I have an old story about
girls not appreciating a guy with a sense of humor
via a conversation I had with a victorious secret employee.
That's another one that I think sticks out. Those would
be my fourth fact.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Are you one of those people? Do you like walk
around with a notebook and like have to write it
down right away, or you have like the notes app
in your phone? Like how do you remember this stuff?
I email?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
It's funny you asked that, because when I mean this
tells you I've been doing this twenty eight years. So
I used to have one of those old like locker
room reporter tape recorders with a tiny, tiny spy cassetti. Yeah,
if I was driving the gigs, I'd have one of
those in my console and i'd pull it out if
I thought of something. Or I remember one time I
(08:56):
thought of a joke at a Reds game and I
had to call call home to leave myself a voicemail
on the answering machine so I wouldn't forget it. But
now I send myself an email and I put a
special subject in there so that when I go back
to look at notes, I can just sort by that
subject and find all my random things and try to
(09:17):
figure out what I was thinking when I sent it,
Because I do that a lot where I go, this
will be hilarious, and I put a couple of words
in there, and then I go back to read it
and I'm like, I have no idea what I was
thinking when I wrote.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
This stuff, Like how long does it take for an
average like thought like that to turn into an actual bit?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
I mean, if I think of it. Yeah, some guys
are good at it, Like some guys are really disciplined.
They'll go to a coffee shop. They'll sit down with
the notebook and like literally write stuff out. And I've
just never found success at that. Like, if something hits
me that I think would make a good joke, then
(09:59):
I just start talking about it on stage without writing
it down, because I feel like when I do that,
it makes me talk the way I would talk off stage,
and that's what I want when I'm up there, is
to just sound like a guy that you're just talking
to hanging out somewhere. And so I don't ever really
write down full jokes. I just write down enough little
(10:20):
words to make me remember what I wanted to talk about,
and then over time, I just you know, trim the
fat and build on it or take away from it
until I feel like it's as good as it's going
to be.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I have to give you props, and I have to
tell you that you're prevalent in the Pike household and Austin,
I don't know if you know this, but there is a.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Prevalent in the house.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah. Because here's the thing. One of my favorite places
on Earth is Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Uh huh. And one of
the first times I ever was around Josh, he was
doing a joke about Gatlinburg, Tennessee. And he also did
a joke about Long John Silvers. And last night my
wife and I were driving around then I was like,
(11:00):
she was like, what do you want for dinner? I
was like, you know what, it feels like a Long
John Silver's kind of night. And she crushed me for it,
and she said, if I if I knew that was
what you were going to say, i'd just stayed home.
And you know, you could have went by yourself. And
so I pulled up the clip Josh of you talking
about gatlinbarg and Long John Silvers. This was a point
in your career you were wearing a tie on stage.
(11:24):
You had like a nice brown half zip and a
tie while you were on stage with it was the
Unsung Hero album. That's right, what is made? What made
you go from tie to sport jacket or sport coat?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I think if I think enough jokes about long John
Silvers and Kathie at Gallen Bird says, this guy doesn't.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Wear ties, tut track out fit time.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah, I should have been up there in an airbrush
T shirt and cut off jean shorts if I really
want to really deliver the kind of things that I'm
talking about.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Every time I'm in Goatlinburg, Josh gets a text when
I'm outside the taffy store. It's unbelievable. Uh, outside of
everything you got going on comedy wise, since E Shirts
continues to just bust amazing stuff out right now. Uh,
you have the Okay Boomer Cincinnati football Tiger shirt out.
You've got the uh smells like team Spirit, which is
(12:21):
obviously in reference to the Nirvana album cover that everyone knows,
and the Norwood lateral for the Norwood Lateral football on
T shirt. How are you guys pumping these out at
such an incredible level the way you guys do.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
You're kind to say it. You guys are very very.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Nice to us, and.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
We love doing stuff that even if we think it
will only make the two of you laugh.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
It is worth it for us.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
The Norwood lateral. I couldnot wait to show you guys.
Paul Dayner and Moople appreciate it. Yeah, but it made
me laugh so hard driving on the Norwid lateral just
thinking of that shirt the Norwood later. It's so dump uh.
But we're just you know, we've become known as like,
(13:11):
uh not a very curated company. Right.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
You got the Dactyl shirt as well.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
The Elie Dactyl shirt. And I'll tell you what we're working.
We're finalizing our collection for the Bristol Speedway game and
there is some great Ricky Bobby crossover.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Will will those be offered with? Will those be offered
with no sleeves?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
They can be. I mean, any shirt could be offered
with no sleeves if you've got a pair of scissors
and a will to see things through you guys.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Uh you obviously, uh, you got football covered, you got
baseball covered. Obviously. It's a big weekend as well for
uh for hell is real with FC Cincinnati and just
a real quick plug because you guys do such amazing
stuff and such hard times for people. You guys also
have the God Blessed Texas shirt going on right now,
and I know that you're going to send proceeds to
the car County Flood Relief Fund as well.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, we partner on our in the Clutch site. We
partner with the Biggest Texas Rangers podcast, and so they
had asked us, you know, they'd seen what we had done,
like with DeMar Hamlin and some of the other stuff
that wasn't necessarily Cincinnati specific. But you know, we're very
proud of the company that we've built in the money
(14:29):
we've been able to raise for local organizations or national causes,
and it's just, you know, it's the one thing that
we can do to help. So if people want to
help and buy a T shirt, then great. But you know,
we're always we're always happy to chip in where we can,
even if it even if it's not a local thing.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Well, you've been very generous with your time today. Thanks
for spending fifteen minutes with us. Can you give us
a joke before you leave?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Funny guy, And nothing can't be anything better than asking
a comedian be like, Hey, tell me a joke.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
It's like asking Joe Burrow to throw a pass.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
We were laughing the other day because I was like,
you know, I said, you know, I tell people all
the time when when you tell somebody your comedian, that's
what they want. And then we were watching we were
watching Joey Chestnut on the fourth of July, and I go,
you know what, some days I'm glad I'm a comedian
because I'd rather just tell somebody a joke than somebody
bring me a plate a hot dog and go heythy
(15:30):
for me. I'll think of a good one. I'll think
of a good one. That's that I'll send to you.
And then Tony, I want to hear you deliver it.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Oh, I can do that. I like this one more time.
It's Fat Ryan, not fat Randy. And tell folks how
they can how they can follow along.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Just go to Disruptorcomedy dot com and you'll see it
right there on the homepage. Spend spend seven bucks man,
you just get it. You'll what you can watch it
however often you want, whenever you want. And uh and
I appreciate you guys as always.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
The best seven dollars that anyone can spend. MM. Think
about that one, Josh, thank you so much, mansh You're
the best thanks boys the best that does Josh need
his comedy special coming out, not Ryan Man. Josh is awesome.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
It just made me think talking about Joey Chestnut. Somebody
down the hall was calling in when I was producing
one of the other shows and said that him and
his wife think they should put it. They should let
a German shepherd participate in the hot dog eating. Just
put a German shepherd up there with a plate of
(16:44):
hot dogs and see compared to the rest of them
it is. And I think that's a great idea. It's
as funny as it is true.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Though.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Can you imagine, Like for Josh, it's like, hey, tell
me a joke. I know, for Joey Chestnut's like, hey,
come in and eat some of these dogs.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
It's like when people see they ask us a sports
question right all the time.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Tell me about this, tell me the bangles. For Josh,
it's a funny man, tell me a joke, fucky man.
I love it. We are very appreciative of Josh and
