Speaker 1 (00:03):
Bucket Party Podcast. It's my favorite podcast, part Party Podcast,
and we're back. Hate your host, Darren Carter, the Party Starter.
I will be coming to Phoenix, Arizona, January thirty, first February.
First check the link in the bio. Albeit start crazy.
Hope all is well, Hope you guys are good. It's
(00:23):
the start of twenty twenty five, a new year. Yay.
I got a guest here with me. You've heard him
on the podcast before. It's Kevin Alderman. He's got Aldermania. Hey, Darren,
how are you, buddy, dude? How's it going?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's going good, man. I guess you know. It's a
new year, new me, been working out.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Let me ask you how did that working out situation
come about? Now? I know, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
pretend that I don't know, so you can tell us
and the listeners. Okay, I'll try tell this is a
great story, you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I'll try to make it quick. So I'm I'm in
Pittsacole of Florida doing a show for New Year's Eve,
and I'm I'm opening for someone, and and so I'm
not getting paid a bunch of money, and I don't
have merchandise to sell, but I'm thinking of my I'm thinking,
I got to figure a way to make a couple
extra bucks right for this show. And so I know
the crowd is like a Second Amendment crowd, and had
(01:15):
I happened to have a Second Amendment T shirt that
I bought.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Here remind us what the Second Amendment is.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
The Secondment is the right to bear arms. You know that,
and so did anybody else. But anyways, so I had
this shirt on, I'm thinking, you know what I'll do,
because this is the Second Amendment crowd i'm performing for,
maybe I'll try to auction this shirt off for them.
And so I do my set. They love me, of course,
because I'm so funny.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You may not know that, but I'm hilarious. But anyways,
I go there and I do this show, and then
after my set, I said, listen, I'm not one of
those comedians that has merchandise, but I'm willing to auction
off this shirt to the highest bidder. And so I
unbuttoned my top shirt to expose a Second Amendment T
shirt and they were like, oh yeah, they loved it. Right,
(01:56):
So a guy in the audience goes I'll give you
a hundred bucks to take it off right now. I'm like, oh, really, okay,
I go I got one question for you guys, and
they go, what's that? I go Oka. Unfortunately, I didn't
get any more money, so I took the shirt off
and I threw it. I took the shirt off off
stage Bert Chrysler style, threw it to the guy, and
(02:17):
he gave me a hundred bucks. It was a lot
of fun.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So let me ask you a question before you tell
me what happens next. You throw the T shirt out there? Now?
Are you shirtless for the rest of the night.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
That's kind of funny question because I had I had
a button up shirt over the second okare, but I'd
taken that all the way off because I have to
to take the T shirt off. So I am standing
on stage shirtless for a couple of minutes and somebody
felt the need, for whatever reason, to bring me another
shirt to put on. So this guy hands me another
(02:51):
T shirt, just randomly just gives me a T shirt.
I'm like, okay, I guess I'll wear this now.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And did you were you able to fit into that
T shirt?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Luckily I was able to a T shirt right, So
we have a great time. It was a great show,
great time everything. Right. So the night were the night
before we're about to leave. The guy who hired us
is a guy my age. We're about the same age,
but he's an MMA fighter.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah you're late fifties.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah I'm late fifties. He's fifty five. But he's in
great shape, he's strong and all this stuff. And he's
so he says to me, he was Kevin. He goes,
I want to give you some advice. I go, what's that?
He goes, not about your comedy was great, it's about like, dude,
we're kind of the same age. He goes, you really
got to start working out, bro.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I'm like, damn, And you do, because I know I've
known you when you've played tennis. I know you're a
black belt and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, last couple of years I just kind of like
just got distracted and got focused on other things. I
neglected my health and working out and everything like that.
So apparently I must look like a melting candle on
stage or something. And so so and I told him,
I go, Larry, you know I've already was thinking about it,
but you know what, maybe this is kind of like
(04:02):
pushing me. And so when I got back to LA,
I went to a gym and joined it a couple
of weeks ago, and I've not missed the day yet.
Oh nice, and working out. I already lost five pounds.
I'm feeling better ways great. Yeah, yeah, feeling good.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So that's what that's how that working out the whole
thing came about. So New Year knew me and I
will have to give credit to a cabon because you know,
he works out all the time. And so we were
on the road, you know, he would always want to
go to the gym, and so I said, screw it,
I'll go down there and hang out with him. And
so I farted around in the gym, lift some weights,
walk the treadmill or whatever. So but he's a health nut,
you know, he's crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But yeah, he's pretty, uh dedicated, you know absolutely, because
I remember one time we were driving from LA to
Bakersfield and I'm thinking, you know, we're gonna like, you know,
I love being a like doing the road, you know
what I mean. I love like, let's go to Denny's
and on the way there or on the way back
and grab some coffee. And some pancakes and talk about
our shows and how great we were.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yes, yeah, and I go do it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'm hungry. Can we go to this Denny's. He's like, oh, no,
I got you. And he starts digging around high my seat. Yeah,
He's like, I got some plums on the floor. Like dude, yeah,
he carries plums in his car, and.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I mean, you look at him. He's in great shape.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He's a really I talked him into Bob Zigway once
and he's like, I don't really like greasy spoon did well.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We got the we got a hotel in Detroit. He
was pissed off because he called the hotel in Detroit
and he said, uh, do you guys have a gym there?
And they go, oh, the gym's under renovation. So he
tried to cancel our reservation for the hotel to get
another hotel that has a gym, and they couldn't cancel
without some type of feet. So he was pissed off
(05:38):
that that hotel's gym was under renovation, but come to
find out, it was not. It was misinformation, I guess.
So the gym was you know, fake news, fake news.
It was available. So he worked out and I went
down there and worked out a little bit too as well.
But so the thing is twenty twenty five, you know,
you know how the new year new you type ship.
(05:59):
And so I'm working out and I'm feeling good about
it and feeling stronger. I'm going to march.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You try to do pull ups?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, I tried to pull You know. It's funny. I
used to be able to do pull ups, but now
I have to have that assisted thing where you can
use to weights. Oh dude, it's amazing how.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Many pull ups can you do on it? Just a
regular bar, no assistance.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh, no weight assistance.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, describing it like if I took you to the
park right now and said, do some pull ups.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Literally maybe three. That's how bad it is. And I
used to be like you said, I used to be
in shape. I was black belt martial arts, I played
tennis all the time. You used to lift weights. This
was when you let it go, dude, especially as you
get older. I'm fifty eight now, and if you let
that exercise go, it's amazing how fast you lose the strength.
I am blown away by how much strength I've lost
(06:45):
because I'm back in the gym now, and it's been
over two years, and like, damn, I've lost a lot
of stort.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It took about two years to lose the strength.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Oh yeah, it's really pathetic too, Like, jeez, I can't
barely bench press one hundred and thirty five pounds. Now, wow,
that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, you know I used to be back when, you know,
back in like middle school. I remember they had a
pull up contest and I did like twenty seven pull
ups and I got to go to like the next
level of the thing, and like that night, my parents
drove me, and so I always remember, like I was
able to bang out all those pull ups, you know.
And I also know that I wrestled in ninth grade
and I and my weight was I think like one
(07:20):
hundred and two pounds, one hundred and three, I think
whatever weight division that is. That's how So I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Wait, so you were one hundred and two pounds, that's
why you could do twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I know, right right, you could do that. I know
because now you look back, you're like, you try adding
one hundred more pounds if you're like two hundred and three,
two hundred and five pounds whatever that is. Yeah, that's
why I'm like, we were at the LA County Fair
and they had the Marines there, right, and the Marines
are like, come up and do a pull up and
you can win this water bottle or this whatever, all
these different little prizes, and I was curious on how
many I could do.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
How How old were you at one hundred and two pounds?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I was twelve?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Twelve?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
All right, I think I was twelve or thirteen.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
All right, you were shredded, apparently skinny, I.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Should say, yeah, if I was shredded, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I mean, you don't really start getting shredded till you're
twelve or yeah I was, Yeah, I was, uh fourteen
maybe right, because.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Then I was on the wrestling team. I started actually
getting muscles, and then oh yea yea, and then in
tenth grade, you know and all that.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
But then you're then your pull ups went down. I'm
assuming because you're bigger, you're heavier.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Now. Yeah, I didn't really strong, Yeah, probably because I
didn't really count or really I even just do them
and you know, don't even worry about it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Pull Ups are always in my I hate.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Pull ups, but I'll tell you I joined that boxing
gym about nine years ago. And it was like, I
was like, kind of where you're at. I was like, damn,
two pull ups. I can only do two. I could
do three. This sucks, you know. And then eventually I
got to the point I remember this guy, uh, this
this heavyweight guy. He actually fought Deontay Wilder, like pretty
strong guy. He was giving me some assistant pull ups.
He goes, come on, man, you doing five. You're doing
five or you ain't going home. So I finally was
(08:46):
able to do five, yeah, with assistance, and then eventually
I got five. And anyways, back at the floor.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I do that too. That when I'm in the gym,
I get someone to spot me to do pull ups.
And I was always trying to find a hot chick
to whole my ass and just push me out.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Ah. So, hey, you lose five more pounds, it might happen,
or maybe ten, maybe ten more pounds.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There's a dude by the way. I don't know if
this is gonna be funny now, but there's a weird dude.
And when I think about this guy, I know I
can hear people going let him live his life, and
I get that, but we're at the gym.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I want to listen to this podcast, aren't thinking that.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Okay, But this dude, I don't know what he's doing.
But there's a section of the gym where there's like
medicine balls and there's mirrors and people stretch and there's matts.
I don't know if you know that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Part of the gym.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, but he always goes over there and he's got
his earbuds in and he just dances. But he doesn't
dance very well, and he spins and stuff and he's
not really working out, and he smiles at people, and
I'm like, what is this guy doing.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He's trying to dance like no one's watching, but he
doesn't realize that Kevin Alderman is.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I think he dances like he wants to dance so
everyone can watch him. Oh, I see, And I think
maybe what it might be in his mind. He probably
thinks he looks really good. But it's funny to see
someone inside of a gym, inside of a jim dancing
like he's like he's in a a ballet play or
something like that, but not very good at it either.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well, maybe that's why the joy is because he's like,
I don't have to memorize any steps. I don't have to,
you know, I can just do it.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
He must be in his own world because.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Dancing to a different drummer.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
And they said, yeah. I remember coming home from the
comedy store one time and I was and I was
at the I was on Sunset Boulevard near the actually
the Lave factory, and there's a dude on the on
the side of the road. He was wearing a la
he was wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey, and he I guess,
he had headphones on and he was just in his
own world and just jamming. He walked out to the
(10:37):
streets and he was rapping and he was just going
off and and you know, you look at him as
a crazy person, but at the same time, you go,
this dude is just in the moment. He's like wherever
he is in his mind, he's enjoying his life to
the fullest, even though he's probably you know, he lives
in the streets, but you know he, I guess he
doesn't care. He's just like in in some place or
(10:59):
no one else is. Maybe he's in his mind, he's
on a he's he's at Madison Square Garden or whatever,
not the Madison Square Garden. What's the one in here
in l Staple. He's at Staple Center doing a show,
a concert for all.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
He just got downgraded. Let the guy live his life, bro,
You're right, Let him live his life. Let him play
Madison Square Garden. He's at Stapless Center, which is not
the Crypto arena. Yeah. By the way, the whole time
you're talking, I'm just like, let me finish my story
about how the pull ups I did for the Marine?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
How many pull ups?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm joking, I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
But how you know?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I'm glad you asked? Well, at the La County Fair
in front of the Marines, I I broke out and
I did six, which is long ago. This was like
like in May in June.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Good good, So yeah, I did six.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
And they get me. They gave me a sticker and
I got like a cool marine sticker, and I was like,
good job, buddy, Oh yeah, yeah, good job. I know.
I mean, I knew going into it, I wasn't gonna
do ten, but I was like, I know I could
do more than five. I'm gonna four. I'm gonna wiel
myself to do more than five. I'm like, I know
I can do more than five.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I mean, I don't know what you wait now, but
you're not one hundred and two.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
So yeah, it's not that I think I'm heavier now
than I was in May.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So oh really yeah, like yeah, okay, yeah, but you
look like you're in good shape though, because.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I'm doing the push ups every day and I'm doing
the kettlebells, I'm working out, and.
Speaker 2 (12:10):

Speaker 1 (14:33):
You're like, my son, man, that's it. He does the
same thing. Yeah, he's like, how did you do? I go,
I did a hundred push ups, and then he goes,
I made one hundred and one. So then one time
I go out, so then I do one hundred and
two and then he's like oh, he's like he gets
a look on his face, like one hundred and three,
and then when my wife was like, can you guys,
we gotta go. We're out it. We're late, you know,
but we just keep sneaking away doing one more push up,
just try to challenge each other.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Women don't get that.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I know, they don't get it right. It's like, come on,
who cares about push ups?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Make money? I guess yeah yeah. The younger women, well
they want money too, I guess, yeah sure, But it's
it is interesting that your son is going to start
to when he gets in shape. He's probably already in shape.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, he's in shape.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, so the girls are going to start really
noticing it.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And I told him, well, they've already noticed him because
of his music ability. Remember he's playing guitar and bass
and all that. So that that's a yeah. Like when
he did a talent show and this girl after the
talent show, he got two bits of two bits of
information that were pretty cool. Uh, they go, you're in
the talent show. Like he auditioned for the talent show
and he got accepted, got accepted, and then this girl
(15:36):
she goes, can I have your phone number?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
And he go and he actually said this. He goes,
what is the purpose like you want to know, like
what what's going on here? Like what does the what
do you want my phone number? And then she goes,
I think you're kind of cute. So that was pretty cool.
And then he went on to do the Talent Show
and dude, he won. Oh did he want Austin bus bass? Yeah,
he won one hundred dollars man.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, what song did he play?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
He did a whole medley of different songs. He played
the piano and he did like it was it was
like a movie theme type of thing. So he did
the you know the the song goes bump, the drum
goes and he goes, it's that Okay, I don't know.
I forget the name of that song. When you when
(16:23):
a movie starts, it's that thing that that movie roar
the lions like row right, or it's that movie. I
forget the name of it. But he did that. He
did give like forty but he plays he loves bass, guitar, piano.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Wow. Yeah, he can really play forty instruments.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, you give them. There's forty different instruments. You can
pick it up and play it and make music with it.
But he's like, but as far as playing it good guitar, bass, piano,
I would say, that's his thing.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So he's one of those guys who can just listen
to a song and go.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Absolutely, yeah, here's it. But it's called a perfect pitch.
He can. He can if I went like this, he
would tell you what pitch that is. I if I
hit like a little.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Bottle, isn't that weird? That's a weird thing to me
because I wish I had that, But I can't sing
with the shit I can't play. I mean, I played guitar,
but I could play like maybe four chords, but I
can't ever play a full song. But when I see
people who can listen to a song like for like
thirteen seconds and go yeah, oh, I got that, and
(17:24):
then they start playing it how God's name.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I guess they realized, like, what you know, the notes are,
what key it's in, and then they could and it's
just patterns because they're like, oh, let me just repeat
these eight patterns of clear they hear, yeah, Mike, okay.
So it must be a little hereditary, I would imagine
because my grandfather's father was a musician and you know,
wrote songs and had a music store, and I was
(17:49):
telling my aunt about my son Austin. She's, oh, yeah,
she goes, Grandpa used to do that. She goes, this
is back in the sixties. She goes, we'd be playing
the Beatles and then he'd go over there and listen
to it and start just playing it right away, like
playing Beatles on the piano. And it's a cool thing. Yeah,
there's a little bit of trivia, daring carter parties, arter trivia.
My great grandfather he wrote the state song for the
(18:11):
state of South Dakota.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Oh really, yeah, well really.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yes, the Court Hammet Decloa. That's where he lived.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
South Dakota. I know he lived. I'm from New York,
you know. No, yeah, no, he lived in South Dakota.
And they had a contest and he won the contest.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
So you have family in South Dakota.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I did. Yeah, And you could look it up. You
could look up a state song South Dakota. You'll see
his name right then and there.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
So so was your family was the only one that
lived there in South Dakota, I guess.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And grandma lived in Iowa. And it's like run on
the border.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I mean, like, seriously, no one else lives in South Dakota.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Right. Oh yeah, I mean it's a population of what
twelve now Christinam and her dogs dogs. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I've never been to South Dakota, so I'm talking shit
about them, but I have no idea what it's like there.
Oh it's beautiful, man, Yeah, yeah is it? It's not
farmland and it's just more like what is it mountainous terrain.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, it's great. It's just it's open. It's like, it's beautiful, man.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So if you have a house there, you have like
five hundred acres as well, if you can afford it,
if you can, okay, and.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
If you've got like one hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Right cheap laying there, I bet no.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
But I know North Dakota is really cold. You got
North Dakota, you got South Dakota. The coldest I've ever been,
I want to say, is in Upper Michigan. I was
in the Up and also Duluth, Minnesota. Duluth, Minnesota, I was.
It was eleven degrees below zero and it was windy,
but luckily we had a van and hotels and stuff,
(19:36):
so we were good.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
The coldest I've ever been was in Lisbon Falls, Maine.
I'm a Navy brat. So I lived most of my
life in Florida. Born in Miami, lived in Key West Jacksonville,
and so at twelve, I was seventh grade, we moved
from Jacksonville, Florida, to Lisbon Falls, Maine.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Wow, never been in that kind of weather. So winter
time comes, it gets so cold and Maine that there's
a river that runs through certain parts of the towns
that get so frozen that they race cars on the river.
That's how thick the and you can ice skate the
river for miles.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It's pretty do it?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Did I did? I played hockey up there. I learned
how to ice skate up there and everything. But but
one day me and my two older brothers were going
to go down to the certain part of the river
and ice skate and play hockey with some other people.
So but my two older brothers potheads. So I'm we
go there with hockey sticks and ice skates and he
they go. My older brother's like, look, we're gonna go
(20:36):
get our friends. We'll be back. So they go to
get their friend. But then they stayed there and smoked
weed the whole freaking time. So I'm sitting there waiting.
This is back three hundred years ago. They didn't have
telephones back then, and so I'm stuck here cell phones.
They didn't have anything. Yeah, it was a long time ago,
but but uh so I'm like they didn't the beeper.
(20:58):
We had carrier pigeons and so it was too cold
for them to fly. Yeah, it was brutal, dude. And
I remember thinking, it's getting late, it's starting to get dark,
and my brothers are stoned out of their mines at
their friend's house. So I'm suck there with with three
three sets of ice skates, three hockey sticks. It's three
hundred blowed zero and I had to walk back and
it was like the most miserable. I literally thought I
(21:19):
was going to die, freeze to death walking back to
the house. It was probably about a mile and a
half to walk back to the house, which had twelve
years old. It seemed like forever.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And were your fingers covered, dude?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I was so yeah I had, I was, I had
gloves on and stuff like that. But but it gets
your fingertips get cold and they get numb. And when
you're so cold you probably know this because your your
your nose, you can feel the I hate to say
Stund's gonna sound gross, but a snot your nose freezes
and you can feel that shit. And it's just like,
that's why to this day I hate the cold weather. Yeah,
(21:49):
that's why I chose.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I performed in Canada one time, and uh, well many times,
but one time it was really cold and the hotel
I was at there was a diner that was about
I would say, like a ten minute walk. It's about
ten minutes if you were to judge it, you know,
and uh, and I remember thinking like, it's too close
to order a cab or an uber. I can walk it.
(22:12):
But I was like, and I was looking forward to
I can bundle up, I can do this. So I
but I didn't count. I didn't count on the wind
because the wind is what makes it so damn cold.
And so I actually went on YouTube and I looked
how to survive and you know, traveling, you know, outdoors,
and and they this guy who rides a motorcycle in Chicago.
He made a YouTube video and he was saying, how
you gotta wear lots of layers, like you know, like
(22:34):
we're like many many layers of T shirts, coach jacket.
He said, you know, give yourself like a light like
jumping jacks to kind of get your heart rate up
and get your get your body a little bit, you know,
mildly sweaty, little you know, that kind of vibe, you know.
And he said, uh. A trick that he said to
do was a cayenne pepper, like if you have cayenne,
(22:55):
but I'll put it that way you can internally heat
yourself up. And I didn't have cayenne though, and then he.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Said pepper with him.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, well, I guess if you're home and everything. And
then he said that what you want to do is
is if you have like vasileine, you want to put
it on your skin. That way the wind goes over
he says, it can go around you and you'll blow
around you. I have any vascialine, but I had lotion.
So I put a bunch of like body lotion all
over my face and my you know whatever. And I
(23:23):
got a little bit of a like a not a sweat,
but I just I did some jumping jacks and I
was like ready for it, and dude, I was okay
for like the first four minutes, you know, and then
what happens is like that your your cheeks get so
clammy and plus with the lotion, like I was pretty
much warm everywhere except for like like the cheeks, you know,
like like you know, that was where I was like
(23:44):
freezing and the wind was blowing, and I'll never forget.
There was a guy that was walking also in front
of me, and he was about twenty steps ahead of me,
and when that wind really kicked him, like, he turned
around to have his back to the wind. So now
he and I are like looking at each other, but
we're both walking the same way. We're doing some weird
ballroom dancing, like twenty feet you know, just social distancing.
So then I was like, fuck this man, so I
(24:06):
turned around. So now we're both walking backwards like like
you know, like we must look weird.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And then he stops unless you bump into him backwards,
like oh, how you doing, big fellow.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
He's like, buddy, heat this is my I my technique
because I do this every Saturday, to the to the tourists.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
In the summertime, I flash people, but in the winter
time I do this.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Hey, big boy, you want to you want to winter cold?
Get in here? No, So I made it to the restaurant.
And here's what's cool about those kind of places. And
if you guys live in a cold place, you know
what I'm talking about. Can you off? It's distracted?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Sorry something?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Oh, okay, so we get it. Sorry, he's pulling up videos.
I get very distracted about him. Sorry. So we go
to I go to the restaurant. And what's great about
cold places is you open the door and you have
like a little waiting room before you open up the
real door to the restaurant. So it's like this little that's.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Cold in there too.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah, so no, it felt warm. At least at least
there was no wind. So I'm like, yeah, I was like, oh,
it probably is colder than normal restaurant, but least I
was like, okay, oh finally, And I said, you know,
I'm just gonna face the window and like not even
look at the people because my eyes were all like
like the tears and I was just like, I'm so cold,
and I just kind of got my thoughts together and
probably thought in there for a good five minutes before
I even wanted to face the public and the table
(25:17):
if we won, please you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
And so I was going to show this video, but
if you got stuck in the wilderness in the wintertime
with snow. How do you think you could survive the night?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Dude, I can do six pull ups.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
There you go, am I question my part, wasn't it?
I should have known better.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I always have a flash that.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
This guy he does these wilderness shows. This guy he
shows you how to survive in the wilderness, and he
I wouldn't survive a day.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I'll tell us what he's show.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Shoot, well, he does bring equipment with him, but he
can go into a in a mountainous Alaska terrain and
build a camp. And like I saw a video the
other day where he's like, he can show you how
to build a bed that you can lay on and
even in the when it's snowing out or not snowing,
but when it's snowed out and it's cold, and keep
yourself warm. And what you'll what he does is you
(26:09):
build this big ass fire on the You got to
clear out the ground, get all the snow off to
your to your dirt and ideally the dirt needs to
be dried. And then you make a section where you're
gonna burn all these leaves and wood and make a fire. Right,
and you make this fire, you just let it burn
and burn and burn, right, and you have all these embers, right,
and then you put dirt on top of it. It's
got to be dry dirt, right, and you cover it
(26:31):
all with dirt and you make sure that there's no
embers exposed, right, all everything's covered with dirt. But that
stays dry or that stays warmth.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Wait, wait, wait, you're not confessing. Did you start these
fires out here in Soco?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Okay, I gotta go embers?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Where do they bring this up?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
But you make this bed of warmth and you can
take your jacket off and lay on it keeps you
warm all night long.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, it's like amazing. This guy is incredible how he can.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
He's basically say that again. So you the embers and
you put dirt on top of it.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, so you got to clear like if it's snow,
you got to obviously clear all this air.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Try it just to see if it works like the
and then you know when it's safe to do that again.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, but yeah, it feel safe. I would do because
I would die the first night.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I'm sure, Yeah, because I feel like I wouldn't do
it right, and then something would catch me on fire.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Laying down on some that's what he did say, he goes.
You got to make sure he goes. It works best
than if you do it as you're doing it, and
then you finish towards the evening because it's dark and
you can see the embers. Oh yeah, so you don't
want to lay on them because you will burn yourself.
But but you cover all the embers up. But it
just stays warm in there and it doesn't go out.
But the heat stays there and you can lay on
(27:37):
it and it's like laying on a nice, warm, heated
bed in the middle of the fucking wildoing.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
But I guarantee you if I got stuck in the
wood somewhere, i'd probably in the wintertime. Yeah, I'd be
gone the first night.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Make sure the wind doesn't get you right high behind
some trees. Get some shelter somehow. Well.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, if you don't have equipment, you're screwed. But you know,
if you have an axe or something, you can build
yourself some shelter.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Acts. Yeah, because if you have access to a phone,
you can order something from Amazon Prime.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
If you know anybody with the helicopter and come get you.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, I feel like people have things now, Like remember
we were talking to Dane Cook and he has starlink
and he said, like if something your power goes down.
He threw the little the size of a laptop or
an iPad or whatever. He said, and now you got
Wi Fi And he said, was didn't you say you
could download stuff and it was faster.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah. So if I was like in the wilderness and
I had that shit, I wouldn't be able to watch
I mean, I'll be able to watch TikTok and everything.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I need to get away from the city, go out
to the woods. So you could do the same thing
you do in the woods that you do in the city.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, freezing my ass up of watching TikTok.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Or survival videos.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, I know right, that would be a good idea
because this guy's got a lot of good stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You should do it. You should do a spoop of that.
First thing you just want to do is you want
to grab your cell phone, make sure you have a
starlink with you so you can power up and watch
me out there. Make sure you like and subscribe, by
the way, like and subscribe whatever platform you're listening to
this on or if you're watching YouTube. Do me a favor,
hit like, hit, subscribe, thumbs up comments. I love it.
(29:02):
Shout out to Galaxy Goddess, who's a big supporter. We
love it. Shout out to my homie down in San Diego, Dude,
thank you so much for all the great comments. Thanks
out to the thanks. Shout out to Miguel Romero. Shout
out this off the top of my hand. I should
have been more prepared for this, but shout out to
Curtis Marsh Thank you and everybody in their support. I
appreciate all the comments you guys do. It's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
So are you are you? Are you on YouTube or something?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I'm on YouTube, I'm on Instagram. Hey, how about TikTok? Dude?
When it went down? What'd you think of that? I
went down for about twelve hours.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well, I knew it wasn't gonna be down. I knew
it wasn't gonna go away, but I did notice that
things were different when it came back. The algorithm was different.
I had a video that I took down. I should
have capt it up because I felt like something's not
right here. This doesn't feel like the same TikTok, and
I use the description it feels instagrammy, if that makes
(29:54):
any sense, because Instagram and TikTok are two totally different
types of videos now based on algorithms. I'm sure they
might line up for some people, but my TikTok algorithm
and my Instagram algorithm were totally different and do te well.
The TikTok was.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
More more raw.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Content, you know, like the the the up, the UFOs,
the orbs, drones, the drones, the the all these all
this a little more conspiracy ish, but but a lot
more more interesting and more like less less for lack
of a better words, censored. Really, I feel like Instagram
and TikTok or I'm sorry, Instagram and Facebook and Meta whatever,
(30:36):
they kind of like sensor stuff. They only want certain
type of stuff to go go through. Where TikTok you
can see, like you could see protests in different parts
of the world or whatever, and where Instagram wouldn't show
that necessarily. And then when TikTok went down and then
came back up, a lot of that stuff was no
longer there. You didn't see videos about the UFOs and
the drones and the and the orbs and all that
(30:58):
kind of stuff. You see a lot more you see
a lot more mainstream media posts from TikTok, but you
saw a lot less independent people doing stuff. And I'm
like so and so. Then I noticed that, and then
some people are putt up videos going they changed the algorithms.
They chut TikTok off for twelve hours or whatever it was,
to change the algorithms for whatever reason. We don't know,
(31:21):
but they there's people thinking that, Okay, they changed something
for whatever reason. Maybe they're trying to get rid of
all those those those content creators who get information for
us that Instagram and Facebook won't let you see, but
you can see it on TikTok. And so because I
don't see that kind of stuff anymore, I don't see
stuff about drones and things like that anymore. It's all gone.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Why interesting now the TikTok. See I'm not that into TikTok.
So I'm one of those people. I didn't really notice.
I was like, yeah, you know, I know, I know.
You told me that you like TikTok. You prefer TikTok
over Instagram, remember you. So TikTok is also owned the
same company they own Cut, and I do all my
(32:01):
editing on capcut and for some reason, TikTok bounced back
twelve hours later. TikTok took like three or four I'm sorry,
cap cut took three or four days. And for a
guy like me who likes to create edit, I'm like,
what is going on? When's just seeing it happen? But
it finally, it finally did William come on in for
a second. Okay, we love you, buddy, Thank you. That's
the manager. We're here at the comedy club Flappers. His
(32:24):
father was a firefighter or is a firefighter, and he
did firefighting. Also. I was gonna ask him about great
man we love fighting questions. But he's here.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Comedy club in Burbank. Great club. Come out and see us, dude.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Let me ask you as we wind this down, how
great is this? I feel like tonight, like join this
podcast with you. I did comedy, I had something to eat,
I hung out with you, I saw some more friends here.
We all talked to comedy. I feel like right now
this moment, it feels a lot like like before the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Oh yeah, it's great, and I feel very happy for
all the people who get it. You chance to see
me on stage. It's got to be a blessing for them,
more than more than I can describe on a podcast.
But I feel really good for those people. So I'm
glad that I'm I was given this god given talent
(33:15):
to serve the masses and give them comedy that gets guys.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
He's joking because you've done this before, and people are like, guy,
was an asshole. He's kidding, He's kidding, but you know
what I mean. No, Like, like, I've been here before
and it felt like things are more normal. But tonight,
for some reason, I felt like it was extra extra normal.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah, I did. Well, you know, COVID was a weird thing.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
But and it's been five years. You know, it's going
to be five years this March. Five years I was
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's true. God that went fast, isn't it.
Holy shit? No, it's great. I mean comedy. My only
thing about comedy, I know we've got a few minutes left,
is I am on a mission, and that's to get
the woke and judge mental people who want to groan
(34:02):
and disapprove of a joke to shut the f up. Yeah,
you know, I was. I was at a show last night.
In fact, I was at Katie's Place right Oh, the
Cucko Birr Lowneah, the Cuocko birl Lounge. And I was doing.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Another great club you guys, it's on Hollywood in the Highland.
If you come here, it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
It's gorgeous, really really really sexy club. But these two
girls in the front row, and I was doing my
jokes and one girl was laughing her ass off, the
other girls going no, no, no, no, uh no nope,
and I go, wait a minute, I go who I didn't.
I was nice about it, but I was like, no,
I go, first of all, buckle up because more is coming.
(34:39):
But I started thinking. I was like, you know, if
you like, you've been.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
To a museum, Yes, your house.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Nice, but if you go to a museum my blackbut
forty five years ago. But if you go to a
museum and you see a painting you don't like, you
don't go no, no, no, no no, you just go
to the next painting. Yeah right, yeah, And so I'm like, bitch, shit.
I didn't say like that, but it's like, shut up
your friends laughing her ass off.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
As long as you do it likable, I find the
exactly right.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Yeah, but I'm tired of people audiences trying to dictate
what a what a what a comedian should or shouldn't
say based on their own opinion of it. If we're
artists and we're creating art, and we're creating something, we're
doing it for ourselves first of all, hopefully, which is
what I try to do. I try to create my
own art for myself. If you like it, fantastic. If
you don't, well that's your problem. But don't sit in
the audience and go no, uhh no, no, like you're
(35:33):
not deciding whether or not I'm.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Gonna do my combed, I know, especially your comedy. Because
she might say that you got more jokes coming up?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
There are a lot like that same vein Now, absolutely yes,
I do jokes that that.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Even and I've had that, like when I do the
thing about all the sexy ladies, let me hear you say,
I've had sometimes people will like women I've had occasionally
not gonna do it. No. I remember one time I
did a gig, corporate gig, and they were like Katy'll
do it, or whatever her name was, Tammy'll do it.
And it's like, oh, where's Tamil Tammy? And so come
on when I go you do it, and you go
(36:02):
out and you go, I've done you know before, and
people it's always funny because usually if I single someone
out like that, they'll do it. The crowd goes nuts
and she's a hero. Well this time she was just
refusing to do it, but I was bouncing off. They go,
she'll do it, and the whole crust started chanting her name.
They're going, tell me, tell me, tell me, and so
(36:23):
she kind of went and the crowd went nuts. It
was awesome. Cut to the end of the night. I
went over to say thank you very much. I had
a wonderful time, and then she was like, can I
have a word with you? She was like, I work
in HR and I was, you know, having a man
tell a woman what to do is not a good look.
She goes, I may have a line outside my office
(36:45):
on Monday, thinking, you know, with people thinking they can
just disrespect now, and I was just like, it was real.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I would have said, I would have said, I had
to interrupt you there because a man's about to talk.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
And the man's about to go.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
No, it's we're at a comedy club. We're at a
comedy show. It's an audience. You must remember that you're
there to hear jokes.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
That was Katie there to see you. Yes, that was good.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah, yeah, you're there to hear jokes comedy. I don't
know if she had I don't think so, because she said, oh,
you did really good. It was a really weird crowd.
Was a small crowd, but it was a really weird crowd,
and it was What was interesting is about the host
was just he went like blue, like went really like
(37:32):
necrophiliac and all this kind of other stuff. Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
So your stuff looked like PG.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Thirteen, but but my stuff was do you know.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
If you guys? So it was you. What you're talking
about is sort of an audition for the club?
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Well yeah, so well sort of sharing.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Mahoney.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
You text me and said, hey, come up and do
some more time. I'm like, all right, sure, So whether
it's an audition or I didn't really care, I'm going
to go do time. But but that's not really the point.
The point is audiences. I want audiences. My objective, my goal,
my mission as a comedian is to get audience to say, listen,
nobody is above reproach. We've all been through shit, We've
all of our lives suck in some manner, and so
(38:11):
we all come together as a collective and sitting in
an audience or sitting in a comedy club and laugh
and forget about the problems and just laugh at each
other and all this other stuff. Nobody's above reproach. And
if you're sitting there being judgmental in an audience, then
you seemingly seem to think that you're a better person
than everyone else, and that nothing.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
I see stuff all the time on stage. I don't
agree with her, I don't like and I'm like, this
is terrible, But I just I just I don't say no, no,
I just yeah, say anything.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
When you're when you are on grinder, you're not swiping
right on every guy.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
No like that lady. You know I'm on her side now.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
It was just like with social media. You scroll and
you see things you like, you see things you don't.
Just keep scrolling. If you don't like it, don't sit
in the audience and go no, no, we're not gonna
do that. Like, bitch, we are gonna do that. That's
what's gonna happen right now, And you're gonna sit there
and take it.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Sorry, Yeah, give me an example of what you said.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Well, I do my jokes about dating these different types
of women, right, and and then the one joke I.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Do, I go, which is the one that set her off, The.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
One when I says I gave a Native American woman
her first orgasm and she couldn't believe it. She was shocked.
She was like how, And I go, I don't know,
And she goes, you know what, Kevin, I wasn't even
gonna have sex with you. Go really, She's like, yeah,
I had reservations. See it's silly, It's like, but I'm bumed. No,
I don't mean anything by it. I'm just being a
(39:30):
goofball making people laugh. And what's funny is the girl
next to her was laughing. The girl next to her
said out loud, she goes, oh my god, I don't
know why I'm laughing so hard at this. I go,
cause it's funny. Tell your friend that, because her friend
was the one going no, no, no. But meanwhile, this
woman was.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
La maybe she was Indian or Native American anything.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
No, she was just some regular chick. But the thing was,
this girl was here to have a good time. This
other girl was there to be judgmental, you know, and
be virtuous and like, oh no, we're above that.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
We maybe her Indian name is judging with Karen. It
could have been do a joke like that, and what's
the girlfriend's name? You know, you have the how reservations
her name was? Her name was Dorothy, but she went
by the name her Indian name is.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
And then have the punchline, well, I do have an
Indian name, but it's it's a little vulgar.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Well, because when she says I wasn't gonna have sack
with you, and I go, I really, she goes like, yeah,
I had reservations. I go, what do you think now,
scorting river, I told you.

I will be coming to Phoenix, Arizona, January thirty, first February.
First check the link in the bio. Albeit start crazy.
Hope all is well, Hope you guys are good. It's
(00:23):
the start of twenty twenty five, a new year. Yay.
I got a guest here with me. You've heard him
on the podcast before. It's Kevin Alderman. He's got Aldermania. Hey, Darren,
how are you, buddy, dude? How's it going?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's going good, man. I guess you know. It's a
new year, new me, been working out.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Let me ask you how did that working out situation
come about? Now? I know, but I'm gonna I'm gonna
pretend that I don't know, so you can tell us
and the listeners. Okay, I'll try tell this is a
great story, you guys.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I'll try to make it quick. So I'm I'm in
Pittsacole of Florida doing a show for New Year's Eve,
and I'm I'm opening for someone, and and so I'm
not getting paid a bunch of money, and I don't
have merchandise to sell, but I'm thinking of my I'm thinking,
I got to figure a way to make a couple
extra bucks right for this show. And so I know
the crowd is like a Second Amendment crowd, and had
(01:15):
I happened to have a Second Amendment T shirt that
I bought.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Here remind us what the Second Amendment is.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
The Secondment is the right to bear arms. You know that,
and so did anybody else. But anyways, so I had
this shirt on, I'm thinking, you know what I'll do,
because this is the Second Amendment crowd i'm performing for,
maybe I'll try to auction this shirt off for them.
And so I do my set. They love me, of course,
because I'm so funny.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You may not know that, but I'm hilarious. But anyways,
I go there and I do this show, and then
after my set, I said, listen, I'm not one of
those comedians that has merchandise, but I'm willing to auction
off this shirt to the highest bidder. And so I
unbuttoned my top shirt to expose a Second Amendment T
shirt and they were like, oh yeah, they loved it. Right,
(01:56):
So a guy in the audience goes I'll give you
a hundred bucks to take it off right now. I'm like, oh, really, okay,
I go I got one question for you guys, and
they go, what's that? I go Oka. Unfortunately, I didn't
get any more money, so I took the shirt off
and I threw it. I took the shirt off off
stage Bert Chrysler style, threw it to the guy, and
(02:17):
he gave me a hundred bucks. It was a lot
of fun.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So let me ask you a question before you tell
me what happens next. You throw the T shirt out there? Now?
Are you shirtless for the rest of the night.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
That's kind of funny question because I had I had
a button up shirt over the second okare, but I'd
taken that all the way off because I have to
to take the T shirt off. So I am standing
on stage shirtless for a couple of minutes and somebody
felt the need, for whatever reason, to bring me another
shirt to put on. So this guy hands me another
(02:51):
T shirt, just randomly just gives me a T shirt.
I'm like, okay, I guess I'll wear this now.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And did you were you able to fit into that
T shirt?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Luckily I was able to a T shirt right, So
we have a great time. It was a great show,
great time everything. Right. So the night were the night
before we're about to leave. The guy who hired us
is a guy my age. We're about the same age,
but he's an MMA fighter.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah you're late fifties.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah I'm late fifties. He's fifty five. But he's in
great shape, he's strong and all this stuff. And he's
so he says to me, he was Kevin. He goes,
I want to give you some advice. I go, what's that?
He goes, not about your comedy was great, it's about like, dude,
we're kind of the same age. He goes, you really
got to start working out, bro.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I'm like, damn, And you do, because I know I've
known you when you've played tennis. I know you're a
black belt and all that.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, last couple of years I just kind of like
just got distracted and got focused on other things. I
neglected my health and working out and everything like that.
So apparently I must look like a melting candle on
stage or something. And so so and I told him,
I go, Larry, you know I've already was thinking about it,
but you know what, maybe this is kind of like
(04:02):
pushing me. And so when I got back to LA,
I went to a gym and joined it a couple
of weeks ago, and I've not missed the day yet.
Oh nice, and working out. I already lost five pounds.
I'm feeling better ways great. Yeah, yeah, feeling good.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So that's what that's how that working out the whole
thing came about. So New Year knew me and I
will have to give credit to a cabon because you know,
he works out all the time. And so we were
on the road, you know, he would always want to
go to the gym, and so I said, screw it,
I'll go down there and hang out with him. And
so I farted around in the gym, lift some weights,
walk the treadmill or whatever. So but he's a health nut,
you know, he's crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But yeah, he's pretty, uh dedicated, you know absolutely, because
I remember one time we were driving from LA to
Bakersfield and I'm thinking, you know, we're gonna like, you know,
I love being a like doing the road, you know
what I mean. I love like, let's go to Denny's
and on the way there or on the way back
and grab some coffee. And some pancakes and talk about
our shows and how great we were.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yes, yeah, and I go do it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'm hungry. Can we go to this Denny's. He's like, oh, no,
I got you. And he starts digging around high my seat. Yeah,
He's like, I got some plums on the floor. Like dude, yeah,
he carries plums in his car, and.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I mean, you look at him. He's in great shape.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He's a really I talked him into Bob Zigway once
and he's like, I don't really like greasy spoon did well.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We got the we got a hotel in Detroit. He
was pissed off because he called the hotel in Detroit
and he said, uh, do you guys have a gym there?
And they go, oh, the gym's under renovation. So he
tried to cancel our reservation for the hotel to get
another hotel that has a gym, and they couldn't cancel
without some type of feet. So he was pissed off
(05:38):
that that hotel's gym was under renovation, but come to
find out, it was not. It was misinformation, I guess.
So the gym was you know, fake news, fake news.
It was available. So he worked out and I went
down there and worked out a little bit too as well.
But so the thing is twenty twenty five, you know,
you know how the new year new you type ship.
(05:59):
And so I'm working out and I'm feeling good about
it and feeling stronger. I'm going to march.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
You try to do pull ups?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, I tried to pull You know. It's funny. I
used to be able to do pull ups, but now
I have to have that assisted thing where you can
use to weights. Oh dude, it's amazing how.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Many pull ups can you do on it? Just a
regular bar, no assistance.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh, no weight assistance.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, describing it like if I took you to the
park right now and said, do some pull ups.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Literally maybe three. That's how bad it is. And I
used to be like you said, I used to be
in shape. I was black belt martial arts, I played
tennis all the time. You used to lift weights. This
was when you let it go, dude, especially as you
get older. I'm fifty eight now, and if you let
that exercise go, it's amazing how fast you lose the strength.
I am blown away by how much strength I've lost
(06:45):
because I'm back in the gym now, and it's been
over two years, and like, damn, I've lost a lot
of stort.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It took about two years to lose the strength.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Oh yeah, it's really pathetic too, Like, jeez, I can't
barely bench press one hundred and thirty five pounds. Now, wow,
that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, you know I used to be back when, you know,
back in like middle school. I remember they had a
pull up contest and I did like twenty seven pull
ups and I got to go to like the next
level of the thing, and like that night, my parents
drove me, and so I always remember, like I was
able to bang out all those pull ups, you know.
And I also know that I wrestled in ninth grade
and I and my weight was I think like one
(07:20):
hundred and two pounds, one hundred and three, I think
whatever weight division that is. That's how So I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Wait, so you were one hundred and two pounds, that's
why you could do twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I know, right right, you could do that. I know
because now you look back, you're like, you try adding
one hundred more pounds if you're like two hundred and three,
two hundred and five pounds whatever that is. Yeah, that's
why I'm like, we were at the LA County Fair
and they had the Marines there, right, and the Marines
are like, come up and do a pull up and
you can win this water bottle or this whatever, all
these different little prizes, and I was curious on how
many I could do.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
How How old were you at one hundred and two pounds?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I was twelve?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Twelve?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
All right, I think I was twelve or thirteen.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
All right, you were shredded, apparently skinny, I.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Should say, yeah, if I was shredded, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I mean, you don't really start getting shredded till you're
twelve or yeah I was, Yeah, I was, uh fourteen
maybe right, because.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Then I was on the wrestling team. I started actually
getting muscles, and then oh yea yea, and then in
tenth grade, you know and all that.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
But then you're then your pull ups went down. I'm
assuming because you're bigger, you're heavier.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Now. Yeah, I didn't really strong, Yeah, probably because I
didn't really count or really I even just do them
and you know, don't even worry about it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Pull Ups are always in my I hate.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Pull ups, but I'll tell you I joined that boxing
gym about nine years ago. And it was like, I
was like, kind of where you're at. I was like, damn,
two pull ups. I can only do two. I could
do three. This sucks, you know. And then eventually I
got to the point I remember this guy, uh, this
this heavyweight guy. He actually fought Deontay Wilder, like pretty
strong guy. He was giving me some assistant pull ups.
He goes, come on, man, you doing five. You're doing
five or you ain't going home. So I finally was
(08:46):
able to do five, yeah, with assistance, and then eventually
I got five. And anyways, back at the floor.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I do that too. That when I'm in the gym,
I get someone to spot me to do pull ups.
And I was always trying to find a hot chick
to whole my ass and just push me out.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Ah. So, hey, you lose five more pounds, it might happen,
or maybe ten, maybe ten more pounds.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
There's a dude by the way. I don't know if
this is gonna be funny now, but there's a weird dude.
And when I think about this guy, I know I
can hear people going let him live his life, and
I get that, but we're at the gym.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I want to listen to this podcast, aren't thinking that.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Okay, But this dude, I don't know what he's doing.
But there's a section of the gym where there's like
medicine balls and there's mirrors and people stretch and there's matts.
I don't know if you know that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Part of the gym.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, but he always goes over there and he's got
his earbuds in and he just dances. But he doesn't
dance very well, and he spins and stuff and he's
not really working out, and he smiles at people, and
I'm like, what is this guy doing.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
He's trying to dance like no one's watching, but he
doesn't realize that Kevin Alderman is.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I think he dances like he wants to dance so
everyone can watch him. Oh, I see, And I think
maybe what it might be in his mind. He probably
thinks he looks really good. But it's funny to see
someone inside of a gym, inside of a jim dancing
like he's like he's in a a ballet play or
something like that, but not very good at it either.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well, maybe that's why the joy is because he's like,
I don't have to memorize any steps. I don't have to,
you know, I can just do it.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
He must be in his own world because.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Dancing to a different drummer.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
And they said, yeah. I remember coming home from the
comedy store one time and I was and I was
at the I was on Sunset Boulevard near the actually
the Lave factory, and there's a dude on the on
the side of the road. He was wearing a la
he was wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey, and he I guess,
he had headphones on and he was just in his
own world and just jamming. He walked out to the
(10:37):
streets and he was rapping and he was just going
off and and you know, you look at him as
a crazy person, but at the same time, you go,
this dude is just in the moment. He's like wherever
he is in his mind, he's enjoying his life to
the fullest, even though he's probably you know, he lives
in the streets, but you know he, I guess he
doesn't care. He's just like in in some place or
(10:59):
no one else is. Maybe he's in his mind, he's
on a he's he's at Madison Square Garden or whatever,
not the Madison Square Garden. What's the one in here
in l Staple. He's at Staple Center doing a show,
a concert for all.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
He just got downgraded. Let the guy live his life, bro,
You're right, Let him live his life. Let him play
Madison Square Garden. He's at Stapless Center, which is not
the Crypto arena. Yeah. By the way, the whole time
you're talking, I'm just like, let me finish my story
about how the pull ups I did for the Marine?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
How many pull ups?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I'm joking, I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
But how you know?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I'm glad you asked? Well, at the La County Fair
in front of the Marines, I I broke out and
I did six, which is long ago. This was like
like in May in June.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Good good, So yeah, I did six.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
And they get me. They gave me a sticker and
I got like a cool marine sticker, and I was like,
good job, buddy, Oh yeah, yeah, good job. I know.
I mean, I knew going into it, I wasn't gonna
do ten, but I was like, I know I could
do more than five. I'm gonna four. I'm gonna wiel
myself to do more than five. I'm like, I know
I can do more than five.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I mean, I don't know what you wait now, but
you're not one hundred and two.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
So yeah, it's not that I think I'm heavier now
than I was in May.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So oh really yeah, like yeah, okay, yeah, but you
look like you're in good shape though, because.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I'm doing the push ups every day and I'm doing
the kettlebells, I'm working out, and.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Actually you don't look like you don't look like a
melting candle.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
You're like, my son, man, that's it. He does the
same thing. Yeah, he's like, how did you do? I go,
I did a hundred push ups, and then he goes,
I made one hundred and one. So then one time
I go out, so then I do one hundred and
two and then he's like oh, he's like he gets
a look on his face, like one hundred and three,
and then when my wife was like, can you guys,
we gotta go. We're out it. We're late, you know,
but we just keep sneaking away doing one more push up,
just try to challenge each other.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Women don't get that.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I know, they don't get it right. It's like, come on,
who cares about push ups?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Make money? I guess yeah yeah. The younger women, well
they want money too, I guess, yeah sure, But it's
it is interesting that your son is going to start
to when he gets in shape. He's probably already in shape.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, he's in shape.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, so the girls are going to start really
noticing it.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And I told him, well, they've already noticed him because
of his music ability. Remember he's playing guitar and bass
and all that. So that that's a yeah. Like when
he did a talent show and this girl after the
talent show, he got two bits of two bits of
information that were pretty cool. Uh, they go, you're in
the talent show. Like he auditioned for the talent show
and he got accepted, got accepted, and then this girl
(15:36):
she goes, can I have your phone number?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
And he go and he actually said this. He goes,
what is the purpose like you want to know, like
what what's going on here? Like what does the what
do you want my phone number? And then she goes,
I think you're kind of cute. So that was pretty cool.
And then he went on to do the Talent Show
and dude, he won. Oh did he want Austin bus bass? Yeah,
he won one hundred dollars man.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, what song did he play?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
He did a whole medley of different songs. He played
the piano and he did like it was it was
like a movie theme type of thing. So he did
the you know the the song goes bump, the drum
goes and he goes, it's that Okay, I don't know.
I forget the name of that song. When you when
(16:23):
a movie starts, it's that thing that that movie roar
the lions like row right, or it's that movie. I
forget the name of it. But he did that. He
did give like forty but he plays he loves bass, guitar, piano.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Wow. Yeah, he can really play forty instruments.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, you give them. There's forty different instruments. You can
pick it up and play it and make music with it.
But he's like, but as far as playing it good guitar, bass, piano,
I would say, that's his thing.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So he's one of those guys who can just listen
to a song and go.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Absolutely, yeah, here's it. But it's called a perfect pitch.
He can. He can if I went like this, he
would tell you what pitch that is. I if I
hit like a little.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Bottle, isn't that weird? That's a weird thing to me
because I wish I had that, But I can't sing
with the shit I can't play. I mean, I played guitar,
but I could play like maybe four chords, but I
can't ever play a full song. But when I see
people who can listen to a song like for like
thirteen seconds and go yeah, oh, I got that, and
(17:24):
then they start playing it how God's name.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I guess they realized, like, what you know, the notes are,
what key it's in, and then they could and it's
just patterns because they're like, oh, let me just repeat
these eight patterns of clear they hear, yeah, Mike, okay.
So it must be a little hereditary, I would imagine
because my grandfather's father was a musician and you know,
wrote songs and had a music store, and I was
(17:49):
telling my aunt about my son Austin. She's, oh, yeah,
she goes, Grandpa used to do that. She goes, this
is back in the sixties. She goes, we'd be playing
the Beatles and then he'd go over there and listen
to it and start just playing it right away, like
playing Beatles on the piano. And it's a cool thing. Yeah,
there's a little bit of trivia, daring carter parties, arter trivia.
My great grandfather he wrote the state song for the
(18:11):
state of South Dakota.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Oh really, yeah, well really.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yes, the Court Hammet Decloa. That's where he lived.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
South Dakota. I know he lived. I'm from New York,
you know. No, yeah, no, he lived in South Dakota.
And they had a contest and he won the contest.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
So you have family in South Dakota.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I did. Yeah, And you could look it up. You
could look up a state song South Dakota. You'll see
his name right then and there.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
So so was your family was the only one that
lived there in South Dakota, I guess.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
And grandma lived in Iowa. And it's like run on
the border.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I mean, like, seriously, no one else lives in South Dakota.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Right. Oh yeah, I mean it's a population of what
twelve now Christinam and her dogs dogs. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I've never been to South Dakota, so I'm talking shit
about them, but I have no idea what it's like there.
Oh it's beautiful, man, Yeah, yeah is it? It's not
farmland and it's just more like what is it mountainous terrain.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, it's great. It's just it's open. It's like, it's beautiful, man.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So if you have a house there, you have like
five hundred acres as well, if you can afford it,
if you can, okay, and.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
If you've got like one hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Right cheap laying there, I bet no.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
But I know North Dakota is really cold. You got
North Dakota, you got South Dakota. The coldest I've ever been,
I want to say, is in Upper Michigan. I was
in the Up and also Duluth, Minnesota. Duluth, Minnesota, I was.
It was eleven degrees below zero and it was windy,
but luckily we had a van and hotels and stuff,
(19:36):
so we were good.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
The coldest I've ever been was in Lisbon Falls, Maine.
I'm a Navy brat. So I lived most of my
life in Florida. Born in Miami, lived in Key West Jacksonville,
and so at twelve, I was seventh grade, we moved
from Jacksonville, Florida, to Lisbon Falls, Maine.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Wow, never been in that kind of weather. So winter
time comes, it gets so cold and Maine that there's
a river that runs through certain parts of the towns
that get so frozen that they race cars on the river.
That's how thick the and you can ice skate the
river for miles.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It's pretty do it?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Did I did? I played hockey up there. I learned
how to ice skate up there and everything. But but
one day me and my two older brothers were going
to go down to the certain part of the river
and ice skate and play hockey with some other people.
So but my two older brothers potheads. So I'm we
go there with hockey sticks and ice skates and he
they go. My older brother's like, look, we're gonna go
(20:36):
get our friends. We'll be back. So they go to
get their friend. But then they stayed there and smoked
weed the whole freaking time. So I'm sitting there waiting.
This is back three hundred years ago. They didn't have
telephones back then, and so I'm stuck here cell phones.
They didn't have anything. Yeah, it was a long time ago,
but but uh so I'm like they didn't the beeper.
(20:58):
We had carrier pigeons and so it was too cold
for them to fly. Yeah, it was brutal, dude. And
I remember thinking, it's getting late, it's starting to get dark,
and my brothers are stoned out of their mines at
their friend's house. So I'm suck there with with three
three sets of ice skates, three hockey sticks. It's three
hundred blowed zero and I had to walk back and
it was like the most miserable. I literally thought I
(21:19):
was going to die, freeze to death walking back to
the house. It was probably about a mile and a
half to walk back to the house, which had twelve
years old. It seemed like forever.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And were your fingers covered, dude?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I was so yeah I had, I was, I had
gloves on and stuff like that. But but it gets
your fingertips get cold and they get numb. And when
you're so cold you probably know this because your your
your nose, you can feel the I hate to say
Stund's gonna sound gross, but a snot your nose freezes
and you can feel that shit. And it's just like,
that's why to this day I hate the cold weather. Yeah,
(21:49):
that's why I chose.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I performed in Canada one time, and uh, well many times,
but one time it was really cold and the hotel
I was at there was a diner that was about
I would say, like a ten minute walk. It's about
ten minutes if you were to judge it, you know,
and uh, and I remember thinking like, it's too close
to order a cab or an uber. I can walk it.
(22:12):
But I was like, and I was looking forward to
I can bundle up, I can do this. So I
but I didn't count. I didn't count on the wind
because the wind is what makes it so damn cold.
And so I actually went on YouTube and I looked
how to survive and you know, traveling, you know, outdoors,
and and they this guy who rides a motorcycle in Chicago.
He made a YouTube video and he was saying, how
you gotta wear lots of layers, like you know, like
(22:34):
we're like many many layers of T shirts, coach jacket.
He said, you know, give yourself like a light like
jumping jacks to kind of get your heart rate up
and get your get your body a little bit, you know,
mildly sweaty, little you know, that kind of vibe, you know.
And he said, uh. A trick that he said to
do was a cayenne pepper, like if you have cayenne,
(22:55):
but I'll put it that way you can internally heat
yourself up. And I didn't have cayenne though, and then he.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Said pepper with him.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, well, I guess if you're home and everything. And
then he said that what you want to do is
is if you have like vasileine, you want to put
it on your skin. That way the wind goes over
he says, it can go around you and you'll blow
around you. I have any vascialine, but I had lotion.
So I put a bunch of like body lotion all
over my face and my you know whatever. And I
(23:23):
got a little bit of a like a not a sweat,
but I just I did some jumping jacks and I
was like ready for it, and dude, I was okay
for like the first four minutes, you know, and then
what happens is like that your your cheeks get so
clammy and plus with the lotion, like I was pretty
much warm everywhere except for like like the cheeks, you know,
like like you know, that was where I was like
(23:44):
freezing and the wind was blowing, and I'll never forget.
There was a guy that was walking also in front
of me, and he was about twenty steps ahead of me,
and when that wind really kicked him, like, he turned
around to have his back to the wind. So now
he and I are like looking at each other, but
we're both walking the same way. We're doing some weird
ballroom dancing, like twenty feet you know, just social distancing.
So then I was like, fuck this man, so I
(24:06):
turned around. So now we're both walking backwards like like
you know, like we must look weird.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And then he stops unless you bump into him backwards,
like oh, how you doing, big fellow.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
He's like, buddy, heat this is my I my technique
because I do this every Saturday, to the to the tourists.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
In the summertime, I flash people, but in the winter
time I do this.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Hey, big boy, you want to you want to winter cold?
Get in here? No, So I made it to the restaurant.
And here's what's cool about those kind of places. And
if you guys live in a cold place, you know
what I'm talking about. Can you off? It's distracted?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Sorry something?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Oh, okay, so we get it. Sorry, he's pulling up videos.
I get very distracted about him. Sorry. So we go
to I go to the restaurant. And what's great about
cold places is you open the door and you have
like a little waiting room before you open up the
real door to the restaurant. So it's like this little that's.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Cold in there too.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Yeah, so no, it felt warm. At least at least
there was no wind. So I'm like, yeah, I was like, oh,
it probably is colder than normal restaurant, but least I
was like, okay, oh finally, And I said, you know,
I'm just gonna face the window and like not even
look at the people because my eyes were all like
like the tears and I was just like, I'm so cold,
and I just kind of got my thoughts together and
probably thought in there for a good five minutes before
I even wanted to face the public and the table
(25:17):
if we won, please you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
And so I was going to show this video, but
if you got stuck in the wilderness in the wintertime
with snow. How do you think you could survive the night?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Dude, I can do six pull ups.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
There you go, am I question my part, wasn't it?
I should have known better.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I always have a flash that.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
This guy he does these wilderness shows. This guy he
shows you how to survive in the wilderness, and he
I wouldn't survive a day.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I'll tell us what he's show.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Shoot, well, he does bring equipment with him, but he
can go into a in a mountainous Alaska terrain and
build a camp. And like I saw a video the
other day where he's like, he can show you how
to build a bed that you can lay on and
even in the when it's snowing out or not snowing,
but when it's snowed out and it's cold, and keep
yourself warm. And what you'll what he does is you
(26:09):
build this big ass fire on the You got to
clear out the ground, get all the snow off to
your to your dirt and ideally the dirt needs to
be dried. And then you make a section where you're
gonna burn all these leaves and wood and make a fire. Right,
and you make this fire, you just let it burn
and burn and burn, right, and you have all these embers, right,
and then you put dirt on top of it. It's
got to be dry dirt, right, and you cover it
(26:31):
all with dirt and you make sure that there's no
embers exposed, right, all everything's covered with dirt. But that
stays dry or that stays warmth.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Wait, wait, wait, you're not confessing. Did you start these
fires out here in Soco?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Okay, I gotta go embers?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Where do they bring this up?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
But you make this bed of warmth and you can
take your jacket off and lay on it keeps you
warm all night long.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, it's like amazing. This guy is incredible how he can.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
He's basically say that again. So you the embers and
you put dirt on top of it.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, so you got to clear like if it's snow,
you got to obviously clear all this air.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Try it just to see if it works like the
and then you know when it's safe to do that again.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, but yeah, it feel safe. I would do because
I would die the first night.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
I'm sure, Yeah, because I feel like I wouldn't do
it right, and then something would catch me on fire.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Laying down on some that's what he did say, he goes.
You got to make sure he goes. It works best
than if you do it as you're doing it, and
then you finish towards the evening because it's dark and
you can see the embers. Oh yeah, so you don't
want to lay on them because you will burn yourself.
But but you cover all the embers up. But it
just stays warm in there and it doesn't go out.
But the heat stays there and you can lay on
(27:37):
it and it's like laying on a nice, warm, heated
bed in the middle of the fucking wildoing.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
But I guarantee you if I got stuck in the
wood somewhere, i'd probably in the wintertime. Yeah, I'd be
gone the first night.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Make sure the wind doesn't get you right high behind
some trees. Get some shelter somehow. Well.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, if you don't have equipment, you're screwed. But you know,
if you have an axe or something, you can build
yourself some shelter.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Acts. Yeah, because if you have access to a phone,
you can order something from Amazon Prime.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
If you know anybody with the helicopter and come get you.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, I feel like people have things now, Like remember
we were talking to Dane Cook and he has starlink
and he said, like if something your power goes down.
He threw the little the size of a laptop or
an iPad or whatever. He said, and now you got
Wi Fi And he said, was didn't you say you
could download stuff and it was faster.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah. So if I was like in the wilderness and
I had that shit, I wouldn't be able to watch
I mean, I'll be able to watch TikTok and everything.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I need to get away from the city, go out
to the woods. So you could do the same thing
you do in the woods that you do in the city.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, freezing my ass up of watching TikTok.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Or survival videos.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, I know right, that would be a good idea
because this guy's got a lot of good stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You should do it. You should do a spoop of that.
First thing you just want to do is you want
to grab your cell phone, make sure you have a
starlink with you so you can power up and watch
me out there. Make sure you like and subscribe, by
the way, like and subscribe whatever platform you're listening to
this on or if you're watching YouTube. Do me a favor,
hit like, hit, subscribe, thumbs up comments. I love it.
(29:02):
Shout out to Galaxy Goddess, who's a big supporter. We
love it. Shout out to my homie down in San Diego, Dude,
thank you so much for all the great comments. Thanks
out to the thanks. Shout out to Miguel Romero. Shout
out this off the top of my hand. I should
have been more prepared for this, but shout out to
Curtis Marsh Thank you and everybody in their support. I
appreciate all the comments you guys do. It's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
So are you are you? Are you on YouTube or something?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I'm on YouTube, I'm on Instagram. Hey, how about TikTok? Dude?
When it went down? What'd you think of that? I
went down for about twelve hours.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well, I knew it wasn't gonna be down. I knew
it wasn't gonna go away, but I did notice that
things were different when it came back. The algorithm was different.
I had a video that I took down. I should
have capt it up because I felt like something's not
right here. This doesn't feel like the same TikTok, and
I use the description it feels instagrammy, if that makes
(29:54):
any sense, because Instagram and TikTok are two totally different
types of videos now based on algorithms. I'm sure they
might line up for some people, but my TikTok algorithm
and my Instagram algorithm were totally different and do te well.
The TikTok was.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
More more raw.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Content, you know, like the the the up, the UFOs,
the orbs, drones, the drones, the the all these all
this a little more conspiracy ish, but but a lot
more more interesting and more like less less for lack
of a better words, censored. Really, I feel like Instagram
and TikTok or I'm sorry, Instagram and Facebook and Meta whatever,
(30:36):
they kind of like sensor stuff. They only want certain
type of stuff to go go through. Where TikTok you
can see, like you could see protests in different parts
of the world or whatever, and where Instagram wouldn't show
that necessarily. And then when TikTok went down and then
came back up, a lot of that stuff was no
longer there. You didn't see videos about the UFOs and
the drones and the and the orbs and all that
(30:58):
kind of stuff. You see a lot more you see
a lot more mainstream media posts from TikTok, but you
saw a lot less independent people doing stuff. And I'm
like so and so. Then I noticed that, and then
some people are putt up videos going they changed the algorithms.
They chut TikTok off for twelve hours or whatever it was,
to change the algorithms for whatever reason. We don't know,
(31:21):
but they there's people thinking that, Okay, they changed something
for whatever reason. Maybe they're trying to get rid of
all those those those content creators who get information for
us that Instagram and Facebook won't let you see, but
you can see it on TikTok. And so because I
don't see that kind of stuff anymore, I don't see
stuff about drones and things like that anymore. It's all gone.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Why interesting now the TikTok. See I'm not that into TikTok.
So I'm one of those people. I didn't really notice.
I was like, yeah, you know, I know, I know.
You told me that you like TikTok. You prefer TikTok
over Instagram, remember you. So TikTok is also owned the
same company they own Cut, and I do all my
(32:01):
editing on capcut and for some reason, TikTok bounced back
twelve hours later. TikTok took like three or four I'm sorry,
cap cut took three or four days. And for a
guy like me who likes to create edit, I'm like,
what is going on? When's just seeing it happen? But
it finally, it finally did William come on in for
a second. Okay, we love you, buddy, Thank you. That's
the manager. We're here at the comedy club Flappers. His
(32:24):
father was a firefighter or is a firefighter, and he
did firefighting. Also. I was gonna ask him about great
man we love fighting questions. But he's here.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Comedy club in Burbank. Great club. Come out and see us, dude.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Let me ask you as we wind this down, how
great is this? I feel like tonight, like join this
podcast with you. I did comedy, I had something to eat,
I hung out with you, I saw some more friends here.
We all talked to comedy. I feel like right now
this moment, it feels a lot like like before the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Oh yeah, it's great, and I feel very happy for
all the people who get it. You chance to see
me on stage. It's got to be a blessing for them,
more than more than I can describe on a podcast.
But I feel really good for those people. So I'm
glad that I'm I was given this god given talent
(33:15):
to serve the masses and give them comedy that gets guys.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
He's joking because you've done this before, and people are like, guy,
was an asshole. He's kidding, He's kidding, but you know
what I mean. No, Like, like, I've been here before
and it felt like things are more normal. But tonight,
for some reason, I felt like it was extra extra normal.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Yeah, I did. Well, you know, COVID was a weird thing.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
But and it's been five years. You know, it's going
to be five years this March. Five years I was
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's true. God that went fast, isn't it.
Holy shit? No, it's great. I mean comedy. My only
thing about comedy, I know we've got a few minutes left,
is I am on a mission, and that's to get
the woke and judge mental people who want to groan
(34:02):
and disapprove of a joke to shut the f up. Yeah,
you know, I was. I was at a show last night.
In fact, I was at Katie's Place right Oh, the
Cucko Birr Lowneah, the Cuocko birl Lounge. And I was doing.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Another great club you guys, it's on Hollywood in the Highland.
If you come here, it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
It's gorgeous, really really really sexy club. But these two
girls in the front row, and I was doing my
jokes and one girl was laughing her ass off, the
other girls going no, no, no, no, uh no nope,
and I go, wait a minute, I go who I didn't.
I was nice about it, but I was like, no,
I go, first of all, buckle up because more is coming.
(34:39):
But I started thinking. I was like, you know, if
you like, you've been.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
To a museum, Yes, your house.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Nice, but if you go to a museum my blackbut
forty five years ago. But if you go to a
museum and you see a painting you don't like, you
don't go no, no, no, no no, you just go
to the next painting. Yeah right, yeah, And so I'm like, bitch, shit.
I didn't say like that, but it's like, shut up
your friends laughing her ass off.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
As long as you do it likable, I find the
exactly right.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Yeah, but I'm tired of people audiences trying to dictate
what a what a what a comedian should or shouldn't
say based on their own opinion of it. If we're
artists and we're creating art, and we're creating something, we're
doing it for ourselves first of all, hopefully, which is
what I try to do. I try to create my
own art for myself. If you like it, fantastic. If
you don't, well that's your problem. But don't sit in
the audience and go no, uhh no, no, like you're
(35:33):
not deciding whether or not I'm.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Gonna do my combed, I know, especially your comedy. Because
she might say that you got more jokes coming up?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
There are a lot like that same vein Now, absolutely yes,
I do jokes that that.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Even and I've had that, like when I do the
thing about all the sexy ladies, let me hear you say,
I've had sometimes people will like women I've had occasionally
not gonna do it. No. I remember one time I
did a gig, corporate gig, and they were like Katy'll
do it, or whatever her name was, Tammy'll do it.
And it's like, oh, where's Tamil Tammy? And so come
on when I go you do it, and you go
(36:02):
out and you go, I've done you know before, and
people it's always funny because usually if I single someone
out like that, they'll do it. The crowd goes nuts
and she's a hero. Well this time she was just
refusing to do it, but I was bouncing off. They go,
she'll do it, and the whole crust started chanting her name.
They're going, tell me, tell me, tell me, and so
(36:23):
she kind of went and the crowd went nuts. It
was awesome. Cut to the end of the night. I
went over to say thank you very much. I had
a wonderful time, and then she was like, can I
have a word with you? She was like, I work
in HR and I was, you know, having a man
tell a woman what to do is not a good look.
She goes, I may have a line outside my office
(36:45):
on Monday, thinking, you know, with people thinking they can
just disrespect now, and I was just like, it was real.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I would have said, I would have said, I had
to interrupt you there because a man's about to talk.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
And the man's about to go.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
No, it's we're at a comedy club. We're at a
comedy show. It's an audience. You must remember that you're
there to hear jokes.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
That was Katie there to see you. Yes, that was good.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Yeah, yeah, you're there to hear jokes comedy. I don't
know if she had I don't think so, because she said, oh,
you did really good. It was a really weird crowd.
Was a small crowd, but it was a really weird crowd,
and it was What was interesting is about the host
was just he went like blue, like went really like
(37:32):
necrophiliac and all this kind of other stuff. Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
So your stuff looked like PG.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Thirteen, but but my stuff was do you know.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
If you guys? So it was you. What you're talking
about is sort of an audition for the club?
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Well yeah, so well sort of sharing.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
Mahoney.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
You text me and said, hey, come up and do
some more time. I'm like, all right, sure, So whether
it's an audition or I didn't really care, I'm going
to go do time. But but that's not really the point.
The point is audiences. I want audiences. My objective, my goal,
my mission as a comedian is to get audience to say, listen,
nobody is above reproach. We've all been through shit, We've
all of our lives suck in some manner, and so
(38:11):
we all come together as a collective and sitting in
an audience or sitting in a comedy club and laugh
and forget about the problems and just laugh at each
other and all this other stuff. Nobody's above reproach. And
if you're sitting there being judgmental in an audience, then
you seemingly seem to think that you're a better person
than everyone else, and that nothing.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
I see stuff all the time on stage. I don't
agree with her, I don't like and I'm like, this
is terrible, But I just I just I don't say no, no,
I just yeah, say anything.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
When you're when you are on grinder, you're not swiping
right on every guy.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
No like that lady. You know I'm on her side now.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
It was just like with social media. You scroll and
you see things you like, you see things you don't.
Just keep scrolling. If you don't like it, don't sit
in the audience and go no, no, we're not gonna
do that. Like, bitch, we are gonna do that. That's
what's gonna happen right now, And you're gonna sit there
and take it.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Sorry, Yeah, give me an example of what you said.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Well, I do my jokes about dating these different types
of women, right, and and then the one joke I.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Do, I go, which is the one that set her off, The.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
One when I says I gave a Native American woman
her first orgasm and she couldn't believe it. She was shocked.
She was like how, And I go, I don't know,
And she goes, you know what, Kevin, I wasn't even
gonna have sex with you. Go really, She's like, yeah,
I had reservations. See it's silly, It's like, but I'm bumed. No,
I don't mean anything by it. I'm just being a
(39:30):
goofball making people laugh. And what's funny is the girl
next to her was laughing. The girl next to her
said out loud, she goes, oh my god, I don't
know why I'm laughing so hard at this. I go,
cause it's funny. Tell your friend that, because her friend
was the one going no, no, no. But meanwhile, this
woman was.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
La maybe she was Indian or Native American anything.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
No, she was just some regular chick. But the thing was,
this girl was here to have a good time. This
other girl was there to be judgmental, you know, and
be virtuous and like, oh no, we're above that.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
We maybe her Indian name is judging with Karen. It
could have been do a joke like that, and what's
the girlfriend's name? You know, you have the how reservations
her name was? Her name was Dorothy, but she went
by the name her Indian name is.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
And then have the punchline, well, I do have an
Indian name, but it's it's a little vulgar.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Well, because when she says I wasn't gonna have sack
with you, and I go, I really, she goes like, yeah,
I had reservations. I go, what do you think now,
scorting river, I told you.
Speaker 1 (40:27):

one and I will. Guys, we're gonna end this podcast. No, hey,
