I might have battle from middle league, you know what
I mean? That might be me.
Speaker 3 (09:25):

nothing batter.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
You want to put Hen's to put anything out there

Speaker 5 (09:34):
No, you know, But I was in Iowa. There strict
laws over there. Don't go to all well man, just
go to any other place in America. But Iowa ball
Ring would have more churches than bars.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Mississippi flows south because Ioa sucks.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Oh man, the rappids go home, get out of here.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I was there two years ago and I was doing
a casino in a Native casino and some guy random
from the show Felippe, keep this, you can have this.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
It was like half a joint.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
So I started smoking it in the parking lot and
I left and I left it like on a plate
in the green room. Some guy cleaning passed by saw
it in the green room when I was on stage,
called the cops. He was a white guy, right. The
cops showed up. They were waiting for me in the
green room. Bro get cheated like this and then were
(10:32):
waiting for me in the green room. And after signed
this paper and the guy the cop was looking at
me like I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
Is this guy right here brought me here? He thought
he had a chapel over here, so brought people with me.
And then the main guy from the casino.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
He came to me. He goes, man, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. Hope you come back again and do
another show. Never. Never.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I'm looking at right now and he's he's in a zone.
You can tell his his body movements, his head, his
eyes at they all go into a place. And I
wonder because I was listening to Chris Rock talk about soundcheck.
When you're doing comedy, sound check is important, but not
for the sound check. It's important for associating your your
body and connecting with the room and that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Is that true? Yeah, man, you gotta now where to stand? Yeah? Okay, yeah,
because you don't like, I know, there's a one improv
in la the brain improv.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, the the how the when you look straight ahead
the path where the waitress passes, it is not like
straight in front with another side.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Okay, okay, So you in your mind thing that's that
this is the middle of the audience.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Choose down over here, all right, okay, But psychologically you
look like you go somewhere deep. Yeah, visualization wise, and
its just an observation for me, I.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Turned into like an extra like I turned it to
myself when I was crazy, like late where it is.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, you find that person.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Crazy crazy bro like people worried about you.
Speaker 3 (12:05):

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Like I would not pick up my car. I would
stay awake for five days straight, no sleep to Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Just on a bender.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It's been eighteen years since I drink. I might go
out with Alibean party if you wanted.
Speaker 2 (12:15):

They get a handshake and it has a bag of
coke on it, you know, or they give me a
