At least two years to to.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
We started in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, you think what two twenty three?

Speaker 3 (01:40):
We started in January with the first show on Lincoln
Lodge and then we split.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
No, so Demon Hour started at Red Room ready, yes,
Red Room, but without the demon Our concept, so demon
it was called demon Our Comedy.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
We didn't have the confessions.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
You didn't have the confessions, yeah, beginning that didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
We didn't do that until the second show that was
at Lincoln Lodge. That was a one and done because
we got kicked out. And then from there we went to.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Remember this ever talking to you guys about that and
you're like, you're like, should we do Lincoln Logic And
I was like, yes, you should because because all the
comics are already there, and you can book a comic
and could do another show in the same building the
same night.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah. And then we went to Big Buddies or.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
My Buddies, the show of we did the second story My.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Buddies, Yeah, and that was the first show with the confessions.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
With the confessions yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Then from there we went to good old Maywood.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
That us what is called la.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Great time. We couldn't get people to come up there with.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Okay, it's not comedy, base man.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
And then we came back to Link and it's been
fucking yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, thank god, dude.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
You know you got that sweet Friday nine people the best,
We got the best. But he's the thing.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Here's the same thing. It wasn't hard to us. We
worked hard for because we worked hard to earn the
opportunity we had.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
The set was seven pm on a Fridays. It's not
the bad no spot, it's good, you know, but like
you're just getting it going by the time we get in.
The room is popping. Why people come out. Yeah, everyone
who comes to the show goes eventually and has the
real drinking night out there. But we were like the
preambled other thing. Nine pm, No, that's the night you've had.

(03:15):
You got here.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
That's early when you can come to the show, have
a good time and they still go drinking afterwards. It's
like it's prime hour.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
You know, like when we used to we were growing up,
coming to the city to go clubbing, we wouldn't leave
until like eleven pm. Suburbs, so we would get here
like at midnight, okay, and then that it was ready
to go, right, and that nine pm hour, we will
take you off to ten thirty.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
And thirty you're out and about. Yeah, party a little
bit of coke. That's good, right, Yeah, it makes more
sense you come back.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Or just stay in Lincoln lone so till yam.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
And it's also the crowd. It's also the crowd you
get out at nine pm is a different crowd.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's none other bit more well, at
least every ticket that resell for the most part is
some people don't know what the show's about till they're there. Yeah,
they're batter reading sometimes. Yeah, we tell you what it is,
and still they still don't get the concept. Tell we
just actually start doing it.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, that's why my my spiel now every time people
come in, as Amy has developed since and now I
break it down. I have this speech I do thirty
times because I depending on how many people are coming in,
I go, hey, so the way I show works blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
You do take time when you bring people into the room, Yeah,
I do.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I bring the whole spiel and I have to and
I throw a little jokes in there, do my little
my thirty seconds of con.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
To come in something to write confession and then move on.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
And I'm just the whole time doing is when I'm
seeing people, I'm telling the same thing.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
CrowdWork.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
It comings so we're doing like a little bit of
comedy just to make sure we get those confessions.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yeah, and it's also it's like CrowdWork with a frame.
It's CrowdWork with no direct shamed anyone. And sometimes you'll
just want to ask the people in the crowd who
it is. You know. We had that fun one, I
believe with with some people that talk about group sex,
they're like, all right, we're not gonna everybody cover your eyes.
This person's gonna raise their hand and I will communicate
with them for you.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
But it was the first time you've done that. I mean,
you've done it before.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, I've done some ver I've done some version of
that before, but this.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Was the first time where actually everybody locked it. Yeah,
and like everybody put their head down.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
I was like, don't film it. And then she started
doing the thumb up down and I'm sorry to say
she had and then I was.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Like, you were like where she was?

Speaker 4 (05:33):
That's all I saw. So this so for full context
of people watching people do the confessions, we get a
confession somebody says there's this group sex situation that it
wasn't that great, and one goes ooh, and I was like,
everybody wants to know who this is, but I don't
want to put we don't are thing is, we don't
want to put the people on the spot unless they
want to embrace being on the spot. So I say,
all right, everybody, put your head down, cover your eyes.

(05:55):
We're gonna do the honor system, all right, like you
like when you were in grade school and they would
have you do the And I was like, this person
is gonna raise their hand and I'm gonna and then
I'm trying to find them, and you're in the back
of the room taping and you're.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Even her.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
She was like yeah, yeah, me and her.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
So then so then this person raises their head and starts.
I was like, just give you a thumbs up, thumbs up,
thumbs down. Youn't have to say your voice and no
one's gonna hear you, all right, and so and it
wildly worked, and I definitely think we're gonna be doing
that again.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
This is where it comes in. Like you, when you're
you're leading the damn thing, you demand attention, you demand
everyone follows your fucking you're shows, You're like this quarterback
of that.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
I mean, like I said, this is what we're doing,
guys gonna follow her.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Like the Demon Hours that we don't have you there,
I'm always like fuck man. You know, especially we have
a very good line up because I'm.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like, man, it's like Kevin will be great Kevin and you.
We have our substitutes. Yeah, you know, Rumors does a
great job.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
I've seen the shows. I was I it was in
the crowded and I was like, you guys, did you
guys just put we have a full Ruben show that
just went up, Like the last one was Ruben YouTube.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, the last one was when Ruben hosted. But when
you're there, man, it's just a different player.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Man, It's for me, like I said, we're the minds behind,
the producer behind the Demon Hour, but you are the
voice when you're there and you're doing the drum roll,
you're playing with the paper.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
The gimmicks, Yeah, build you built.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I'm like I'm always doing check like you gotter do it.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
You build up to man, you build the vibe, dude.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
I know, I know it'll drill a bit into the ground,
good man.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
And then like now that we have Rambo on there,
to man, it's just like it's helped, Like it's helped
build this a lot better.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Like what I like about our show.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
That was how we were talking about this other night,
was that we started with no with no like concept,
concept for gimmick or anything like that. It was just
a stand up shows o case right and then but
from day one to where we are now is developed.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Fo.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
You know, we have a profession. We have the plate
going around with the.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Which was getting nice touch.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
We have we have the Pope showing up.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
Don't know how we get them.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah, the budget.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
I pray every night, and.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
And we hope, we hope you don't spill his alert shots.
I can't tell them what happened on Friday because there's
this little curtain area where we walk out and go
on stage and and and and Rambow brings the Chicago
all right, and we'll do the bit where we hand
out some alart shots because that is the Blessed Drink

(08:42):
of of of of de POLP. So we're doing all
the Chicago bobs and you're doing it to rile them
up and give them like the thing they don't know
is coming, and they and it's like it's like Santa
Claus shows up, you know what I mean, Like that's
kind of what you're going for. But the drinks are
like oh wow, yeah and some people and you don't
give them to everyone.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
So I think we do that at least once or
twice before with it. So we're having a good time
and then I did.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
I not go over No, No, So what happened was
the play of the shots was in the corner I
didn't see because I'm moving around getting everything ready and
I kicks it. I kicked it, kicked the play accidentally.
So the first the first shots got was ruined. I'm like,
damn it.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
So then I.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Away went about the second round. He would have told
that ud no.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
But here's the thing I was.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
The Pope was already on stage.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah, he's already on stage, and we don't he's on
stage in the shots are spilled, and we're gonna bring
the shots up while he's up there doing it to show.
But it's like it's a moving thing. So then immediately
I'm like, I'm gonna run it. I literally go to
go to gam I'm like, damn, I'm gonna run the
bar and I have to go through the lines and
come to the back. And then they had a waitress

(09:51):
because there was another sold up show on the other
side of the hall. Sometimes Lincolne, they hustle really really
hard to the bar attend and sometimes they do or
do not have a waitress, just depending on the night
how things are rolling. And there was and she goes,
don't worry, I'll get it, and I was like great,
and I ran back in and as I come back in,
she's right behind me with them, and I literally go
up and she started to like it never happened.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
This was going, yeah, it's like it never happened.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
It never happened.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
It truly never happened, only only like the four I
didn't know. But that's the magic of it though.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's because I was in the bag and I'm like,
when came out, I'm like, what's going on? Yeah, yeah,
And it's not in the schedule. And then I did,
like for a moment, I forgot that I was I was
like producing because when you're like shot was like hey,
my brother, it was like it was like ram but
it's like, uh, it was cool.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
It was cool and like I said, man, even that small,
that's one change from the last.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
That we didn't do, and and it was just perfect.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I saw the I saw the crowd get into it,
and I'm like, oh, man, ud, this is this is
happening on her fans.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Have you ever thought about giving parameters to crack Because
we we had the one show Milwaukee, everyone talked about
shooting their pants. Everyone was just having just a sable
bowl syndrome. And remember we did that and p s.
We had a good time. That was a great fun
venue and like and I hope we get to do
Milwaukee again. It was nice to like get out of

(11:16):
the realm and stuff we were doing. But then we
had some more of the shipped ones again and it
was like every other The third fourth one was with
people going patty yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
I think it was a combination of a dairy high diet.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
That's cheese curds Milwaukee.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
And but for us, yeah, for us, it sucks because
it's like the same confession over and over again, which
is the first time it's funny.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Very and some people shooting and reluctant.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Like the sixth time you heard about history, Like we
get it.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Maybe it comes from like one table where people I
did I did this, and they like tell their friends,
like don't out there, tell them everybody every you know,
maybe that's something, but that's something we learned.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
It was literally just Milwaukee thing though.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Just what we had a lot of people crap in
our pants.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, maybe you know what we should do and we
we've thought about this long time ago.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
You probably forgotten about this.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
I love it. We're getting very technical, but some are
too many people in our pants. Too many.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
But we've thought about the past where we instead of
playing like the music, you know how we have music
playing in the beginning.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, and we have the flyers of all the shot.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
I'm shocked how many people who run shows like comedy
shows don't set the room. Yeah, like they don't play music,
they don't have something going on. I remember like twenty
years ago when I was doing improv shows at the Ashbury.
It was like a revolution. But I was insistent if
we were gonna have people in the room for thirty
minutes before we actually start and we're just letting the
room we have to have.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, we have to and and I've thought about doing
this whatever for whatever reason. The TV that we're in
right now, the room that we're in, we have we
have the flyers.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
It just screen goes from like orange and.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Blue, orange and blue, flashing colors.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
We don't know if it's us, We don't know if
it's over the cable.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
We don't know what's going on, but it's We used
to have that running throughout the whole show, right one,
because we want the audience to follow the comics.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
There's a graphics screen and.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
We want them to follow us, follow the comics, you know.
But now we realize that it's become too distracting.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
The flashing, the flashing, flashing, it's moving smoothly.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Hey, what I'm about doing was maybe maybe this coming
show we thought about this past but maybe this coming
show is we do some of the best confessionals that
we've had on demon our previous right, we play them
with a little bit of music in the background, right,
but we kind of give an idea of what sparks
instead of like people you.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Literally literally in the room in the room where they
are showed them a clip.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Of what on the clip the audios.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
So then the people are thinking like, oh I should
say this.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, you know, we started going like oh my god,
I'm talking about sex, they're talking about killing somebody, talking
about you know, you know, and then they're like, oh,
this is cool, this will makes it show fun and
going like what should I write?

Speaker 5 (13:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
In fourth grade, that's.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
The biggest thing we harp that we tell people like
I tell him one of my second time I said
the spiel is if you guys do bad confessions, the
show sucks. You gotta have good confessions for a great show.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Him to the end, I'm like, hey, this shows when
it got organ the brain.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
I mean this time I congratulate. I'm like, you guys in.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
The show and we're comics, we're not cops.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
We're not gonna Yeah, I gotta go, fuck dude.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
This it's a bad sex story.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
That's what. What's what's your all time favorite confession you've
had on the show, or at least the one that
comes to mind. It could just be a recent one though, too.
That four some one was fun.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah I know, I know.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
That's like just less than forty eight hours.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
I have a side story when it comes to down.
So when when he came in, you were.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
A present for.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
That's why it was so bad.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
When he came in.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Come on, man, you gotta play off the bench in
that situation.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
When those two girls walked in, you know, I'm like,
you know, I see everbody who comes in, right because
I'm at the door. And they came in, and you know,
I started going through my spiel and they were attracted girls.
It was an Asian girl, white girl, very attracted girls.
Turns out they were friends of.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Very important And you said, what type they were?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Paint the picture, Yeah, because for time with two white girls,
that's what you had. A white girl. Now we got
culture right.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
But yeah, So they come in and I'm and I'm
you know, I'm gonna spe on, making sure I'm.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Giving them my contact. You know, I'm jumping back and forth.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'm very making very there's four people in the crowd.
I'm going bop upup, up on making sure I'm looking
at everybody else.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
I'm describing it.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
If you weren't running an R rated comedy show where
people confess, I think you would be very good at
running a restaurant. You have a very matre d do it,
and I mean I mean, I mean that the right way.
You have a very like how you doing where you
coming from?

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Are you looking very analytical?

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Mind? No, but you're but you're considerate. You're actively considerate.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
I'm very considered because I wanted to come back. Yeah,
I mean I am the host, like I'm the host
the system that the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
For you guys is non active performance. I was like,
everybody should pay attention like this is this, this means
something because I.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Mean we talked about this in the past.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
We're business minded, so everything we do is with the
data business. How can we make more, you know, more money?
How can we sell more tickets? How can we give
a better show?

Speaker 3 (16:18):
But the biggest thing is repeat? How many repeat people
could bring? Repeat? Repeat?

Speaker 2 (16:22):
I mean at the end of the day, I want
people to come back. I like that we have new
basis every show, but I want people like, oh I
loved even now this is my second time coming.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's a bomb. That's what I want because I want
to build it was.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
It was fun when I asked how many people have
been to the show before? How many people have been before,
you know, And then there were some people like, yeah,
some people their first time and then helps you host
the room and stuff like that too, and it works.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
But just for the girls come in and give them
this pio and you know, I'm giving them my contact.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
I'm not trying to fall in love, right, but I'm
like I'm trying to. I'm getting too late.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
I've already loved showed up.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, high, So.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
How to hear man?

Speaker 2 (16:59):
And so I'm like, hey, so we do confessions by
and the white girl she goes, I couldn't. I didn't
hear her because I'm in I'm in fucking mode, right,
And she goes, she goes, I'm pretty sure she said,
oh I love it, but I heard I love you.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Did you say it back to it? Threw me up.

Speaker 1 (17:20):

Yeah you you you know how to move the crowd.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Man showed me, You're what are you? What are your
confessions that you like? Oh yeah, go ahead, one of
the ones that you remember that you that you saw
on the show that you really really enjoy I can't do.
There was the Browns Chicken murderer. My brother, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
where your brother? Your brother that he went fishing with
the guy who did the Browns chicken murder. I think
that was infamous, real life, unfortunate murder of multiple but

(18:17):
it was a known true crime in Chicago. I hate
to belittle it to like a search term, but he
went fishing with him years before that crimemer.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
He came to my house. Dude, they came to my house.
He drank my dad. He threw me a ball at
one point.

Like I said, man, we have a great team.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
You have a great we have a great group of
people that work with us, great venue, great plays. But now,
I mean this is probably the best the Demon Hours
ever been and extremely extremely happy about that.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
It's supposed to and it's fun. It's fun.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
It's fun different.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
It's like if you do these shows and they're just
strictly stressful experiences where you get out and you're like, oh,
there was a good show, but there was just run.
There's a little bit of fun chaos, like we have
to run around and wrangle everybody and different things like that.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
And the one thing I keep telling their production that
they put into it, like how much you guys care
about the show? Really fucking shows, because there's other shows
out there where it's like here's the lineup, go by.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
And then there's there's nothing wrong.

Speaker 6 (26:19):
Yeah, but like you guys are like, hey, from the
get go, you introduce them, you talk to them, give
them the premise. You guys got the cutout, we got
the box, just everything with it.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
It's just so much extra.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
We don't like chaos, man, we don't like chaos. We
want to make sure that everything the show, the show
is organized. Yeah, show is organized. We don't like chaos.
Everything we do from even are just our folders for
our work that we do. Everything's organized because we don't
want chaos.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah we have, we have all the comics has shots
older we haven't ready to go. Yeah, we can put
them back up. No, I mean we, like I said,
we try, man, we try, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Glad it shows.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
I'm glad it shows because we ideally and end the
day we want to be the number one comedy show
in Chicago. I think don't one that, or at least
for me. You know, there's a bigger name than us
is Roast Battles in Chicago.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
You know, big Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
So they're definitely the number one show. But I would
argue that we're number two man when it comes to
the quality, because everybody else has. You know, I don't
see anything about it, and you can, and you it's
hard not it's hard not to see us.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
We're everywhere.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
We have the stickers, we have the flyers, we have
the all the social media places you can find Demon
our comedy type Demon Chicago. Yeah s c O right Chicago,
see we pop up.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
I'm curious, Oh ship Demons set?

Speaker 4 (27:51):
But what blocks it right away?

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Demon? Right away? I don't know what that.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Demons Chicago permanently closed? Oh dude, that's that's close to us.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
Is it? It is second or third link right there.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
It's all right, yeah, but right away, right away.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
You guys getting three access. Now there you go, click
on access.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
I did not know where an access? All right?

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Who the hell is that?

Speaker 3 (28:18):
I don't know who the hell that is that guy?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
I'm saying, all right or whatever. We want to be
the number one show in Chicago and an event. You know,
obviously we have.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
We've done a couple of shows in Milwaukee that we
are looking to go back to this year and eventually
across the country and hoped that Kevin is free.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah, Rambo, of course.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
But before we can talk about even hours for minutes.
But the number one thing that we're here to talk
about is Kevin Kellum.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Kevin Kellum the voice.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Of Rockford, Dude an hour, I love all.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
I'm the voice of Rocker because I do. I still
do one four ninety in Rockford, but I've been doing
radio in Minneapolis.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Now. When you're filming a special in August man.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
August ninth, Windy City Comedy Festival, which is going down
across multiple venues between August seventh and August tenth. On
August ninth, I'm gonna do at nine pm I'm gonna
tell my parents to take a nap at at three
pm so they're ready. I'm gonna take my first comedy
album called Kevin and hell Uh, and it is gonna
be at Lincoln Hall. A lot of people think Lincoln

(29:31):
Lodge Lincoln Hall. I've made more flyers for one show
than I ever have in my entire life. I have
a theme song written for ith. Yeah, I know the
person who did it. Andy Milner's done a bunch of different,
like weird musical comedy stuff that I've known for a
long time. We lived together for a couple of years.
I sent him two notes and he goes, I know
what you want, and the like takes it back and

(29:53):
then we cut the vocals and it's very ridiculous. It's
a it's like a hardcore a CD.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
I want that contact.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
He's like, he's not one of the greatest musicians I've
ever seen.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
He'll he'll play at like some open mics and stuff
like that.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
So he did. If he comes to Power Hour, he's
usually he'll sit in with the band and stuff like that.
He's one of the greatest things I've seen.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
I'm done.

Speaker 5 (30:16):
He did.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
He's like, oh, you know how everyone says Nirvana sounds
like they're they're chewing on bread when they're singing.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
So he's like, I'm gonna play or Neirvana and he.

Speaker 6 (30:24):
Takes a loaf of bread bits and he's like, starts singing,
and then he takes two loaves of bread starts playing
the drums with it.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Genius Andy, and he's just he's a delightful, fun weirdo,
and I like I He's like, I recorded the song,
but if I yelled the vocals, I was like, oh,
he's yelling the vocals. Okay, you know he knows my vibe.
I'm a little bit too intense. And he goes, no,
can I come to the radio station and do it?
And we did it, and there's some people walking by,

(30:52):
and I already did my radio show, so I'm using
the studio. Like there's a janitor that walk by and
they're like because we're like screamed him like and they
just walked by and they see through the glass and
the red lights on. They're like, what is going on?
And I absolutely loved it. So it's pretty cool. And
I already have my mom asked me, please don't say this,
or please don't do this. I'm going to do and

(31:16):
say all of this because you.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Know those are the funniest parts.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah, give us a little bit of a backstory, man,
what the how did this all come about?

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Well, I wanted to do one a couple of years
ago and Ariel Julie, who's a good friend and does
shows at Lodge. Yeah, she's done Demon Hour. She she's
the artistic director, and a couple of years ago she
very she's a producer and really got going producing. But
she's a very forward thinking comedian and did a special
within the first two or three years and she's like,

(31:45):
He's like, I did it. So it would force me
to write new stuff. And I know some of my
stuff is I have no promising. I gotta figure out
this or write out at this I'd take a chunk
and I just write it out over six months and
it's thirty seconds and then it becomes like four or
five minutes over four or five months. And so I
have that, and I'm doing a lot of other things
besides I like doing comedy. But and then she goes,

(32:06):
this is gonna do it, and you're gonna do your album,
and this is when you're gonna do it, and I
didn't make the decision. She came and said, this is
when you do. The festival is coming up. I was like,
you don't need another forty something white. I was like,
what can I volunteer? What ramo? We were talking about
working stuff at shows that isn't on stage, and I
was like, what can I do? I can run the door.
You have multiple shows for a festival, there's like, I
think six or seven different venues with it. I was like,

(32:27):
I'll do whatever you need me to do. And she goes,
I have something else in mind for you. And I
was like what. And she goes, You're gonna do your album.
She said, you're gonna do your album. I didn't say
I would like to take my alum at the festival.
She said, no, we would like someone to do an
album at every festival, and we have like a three
or four year plan and we kind of know the

(32:48):
people we want to do it the next few years,
and I want you to do this one. And I
was like okay, and I and I was like, so
it's like I'm doing She's like, no, You're gonna do
like a real album, and who's gonna film it? Who
can we get to film it? And I brought in
u Jojio Areas and Zach Spangler, who are the digital
team of Q one o one in Chicago and they've

(33:10):
shot bands and they came to the table with a
big idea of how they want to shoot it and
everything like that. Some of the artwork my brother made
ye and my brother makes he does Champagne Video Store,
which is this big meme page about Seinfeld and the
retrospective stuff, and put that all together and and I
was like oh, and then and then she was in
fact about it, like aesthetically, it has to feel like

(33:31):
something you would say and something you would do. You
like having metal, You're gonna do the radio stuff. It's
over the top. And I was like yes, and she goes,
do you know what you want to call it? I
was like, I know, and I wanted to call it
a long time, but I didn't know I was gonna
be forced to do it. I was like, Kevin in Hell,
there's a Black Sabbath album called Heaven and Hell. I
want a punny, fun name that people who know me
right away go, yes, that makes complete sense. You're a

(33:52):
dysfunctional person. Yes, Like that makes a whole lot of sense.
So yeah, a little kick in the Yeah, yeah, it
is kicking the ass.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
You know, you know, you know, be funny, like you
did a bunch of like did some clips where like
you know, you like maybe some CrowdWork or whatever cases
and then you cut through the clip of home alone.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
And the mom goes right now.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
I was like, even though it's not Christmas, no, no,
when you're no one nowhere near around that time, but
I was like.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
The just hear your name go.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
I had that so much man.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yeah that movie came out, like what ninety one and
how was your childhood?

Speaker 4 (34:32):
Yeah, I was just I was a I wouldn't I
was a problem child, man. I got into stuff. My
dad wrote an Irish Folke song called Master of Disaster. Kevin,
You're the devil. You're getting into everything, including the kitchen
sink you're driving your poor mother to drink. Like that
was written about me before I could ride a bike, dude. Yeah.

(34:55):
So like so like I was, I wasn't like a
mean I was. I could be a mean kid to
one of my links or something like that. Yeah, but
I was definitely like this like eighty d kid, like,
oh are you in the spectrum or something like. Those
are real things you had to worry about then, and
now those are all things that are gonna be on
an album. And everyone who saw me like that as
a kid, it's gonna be like, Oh, they're in the
front row. Have a couple before you get here. You're

(35:17):
gonna need it.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, what is what is like? How many people audience?

Speaker 4 (35:23):
Oh? Man, I heard some of the ticket accounts I'm
shooting for, Like it's Lincoln.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Hall and then you thought it was a capacity, but
I hear they could do two fifty fifty.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
So but I mean for me, like they can frame
it the way that it works. I'm not gonna claim
that I'm gonna be some draw, but seeing someone tape
an album to me is a draw. And it's somebody
who hasn't seen me a long time. There's some people
that are coming who haven't seen me do stand up
in a couple of years. And there's some people like, hey,
we're gonna be in town for this or that. There's
some people that are in town with an arena rock band.

(35:53):
I'm not saying the band is gonna be there. I
don't want to say who the band is, but I
know people that work with them and like, hey, we're
gonna stay extra day mean yeah, sure, you know. And
and also I listen to people asking for tickets like
please buy tickets, please, people like there's family members. I
was like, just please, just yeah, I have to I
have to justify to this building because Lincoln Hall is

(36:15):
this venue that has like one hundred years of history.
For sure, It's used for Lolla ploza after shows. I
saw oats of Hall and oats there and I'm like,
I'm like, how that I saw this. Clark Brothers, you're
like some of my favorite comedians. I saw them tape
a special there. I was like, there's this constant inferior
or complex. You ever like do something really cool or

(36:35):
you get like really nice tickets to a show, like
maybe you buy them and you get like upgraded or
something like that. You get tickets to like a game,
they're like, hey you want You always have that sense
of like I'm only going to get away with this
for a little bit, right. I've always had that, and
I've been doing comedy for most of my adult life.
And any time I kill them like getting away, You're like.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
There's it's like it's like when you bring a nice
a little bit like popular it's impossible.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
But then but then also like I've spent years trying
to something for sure, Yeah, so why am I not
comfortable with it? You know what I mean? I was like,
I'm still like that with radio. I bet I've been
in Q one one for on and off for ten years,
and I still have a sense of like every time
I walk in them like the key card is not
gonna work today, the car, you know, like like and
then and then I walk in, I'm like, oh no,

(37:21):
it works. I'm fine, dude.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
It's like it's like that one clip of that NFL
player who.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
He's in during training cap on Hard Knocks. He's trying
to badge in and it's like it's not working. He
knocks on the door. Hey, it's like it's not working, Like.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
You got traded, yeah, and we got cut? You got cut?

Speaker 4 (37:37):
You got cut, you got cut?

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Was like a yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
The feeling of that.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Oh dude, they feeling being retracted, feeling.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
I feel like I'm losing area or not feeling of
ship kind of start again. I gotta started over.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
You want to retake it?

Speaker 4 (37:52):
I gotta started over, dude.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Oh I think you meant like you you fucked up
with You're saying, oh no.

Speaker 4 (37:56):

just started over.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
I'm saying, like I have to, like like I gotta
start all over, dude, Like I was going somewhere, I
had emotion, I had momentum, and then it's gone, yeah
oh d.

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Also for me to see anxiety of like there is
no other option besides kill, like there isn't just like
having a good show to me is not going to
be acceptable. Yeah. And the thing is, this is all
stuff you guys have seen me do four years. Yeah.
Like so like so like I know, like, all right,
my stuff, I won't I don't want to say it's dated,
but it's like you either put it on the plate

(38:30):
now or it's you know, we're gonna we're gonna start
scraping green fungus off the red right. So like so
like my thing, I like I know, like, oh, it's cooking,
like and we gotta put it on the plate. And
and so I appreciate Ariel and I appreciate the people
that are like, no, you're gonna you're going to kill
This isn't like you're not going to kill, You're gonna
kill and then you're gonna write.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
New ship and I and I'll tell you this man
just based off you know, hearing other comics talk about
filming their specials.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
You're not gonna like it. Oh yeah, you're never gonna
You're not gonna be like you're gonna do it and
go like, I fucking that was perfect.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
You're always gonna think of a better tag as soon
as another thing is like.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
Uh, you know, usually when people take these really great comics,
I know they two shows, two shows, same venue, same night,
maybe three shows over two nights. I have one take one,
take one, take one shot. You're going to do it
all and and so that's the part that hits me
the most, especially because I have a lot of things

(39:27):
that are like big concept and then tag the ship
out of a machine gun, you know. And so I'm like, okay,
you know. So there's there's some great shows around town
that have given me some spots. I'm doing, I mean,
one of the best suburban shows, Two Brothers Round House
I'm gonna do on an Aurora on August the Thursday before.
I want to make sure I know the exact date.

(39:48):
I want to say the wrong. Yeah, August seventh, thank
you Rambo knowing actual dates on accounting. I'm gonna be
doing that show. And Matt Trofki runs that show. He's
like the Papa suburb of the suburbs, a called Papa Urbs.
Uh Draftking, He goes, I was I asked you about
doing a special and you were reluctant. I like that
she's getting you to do this. I want you to

(40:09):
run the special here before you do it there. So
you're and it was like not like people that were
like good who kind of knew, like hey, I'm gonna
help you out, like this is this is something you
should try, and this is something you should do. There's
some quan of one people that came to me and
they're like, here you should talk to and there's some
great comics in time, like all right, so when you
record it, you want this much clean so you can

(40:29):
sell it to this person for this and so the
idea is like and also if I put it out
on my own grade, but I'd love to like get
it on TV if it's possible.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
For sure, Yeah sure, I mean the number one thing
I would recommend man is make sure because Beanut is
the one shot.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Just make sure audio wise number one thing we.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Need to walk through this week. Yeah, already we didn't
walk through. And we were there like a maintenance day
for Lincoln Hall and they have an incredible team. And
it's also like, oh, this is like it's that settling
in type thing. And I asked them some questions and
they gave me like there was something I wanted in
terms of like what do you want for the look
of the show on the stage. I was like, oh, like, yeah,

(41:11):
it's something you think, but now you get down you're
saying it out loud and I say how red can
you make it? And he goes, how red do you
need it? I was like, you ever seen a White
Stripes album covers? Like there's very it's like Jack White
mag white wear colored outfits and it's very monochrome. It's
very defined colors that break from each other and it
sets the scene of the person in it. And it

(41:32):
got very much like this this look right here. He's like,
I want I want to perform in a stand up
comedy special. It looks like that for forty five minutes.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
Please tell me you got a ship with fringe on it?

Speaker 4 (41:42):
No, I did look up a fringe shirt. But I also,
I wouldn't say I have a fringy chest. I don't know,
you know, I don't. I don't want, I don't want.
I don't want a fringe that drapes over something. But no,
I wanted something that looked like that, and I didn't
want it to be aggressive and a little bit of
rock music that stuff. Yeah, So so then I sent him,

(42:05):
he sent me. He sent me some like I send
him a picture of something, you know. He's like, yeah,
we can make it slayer red. And I was like,
that's all I need to hear. That's all I need
to hear. And I was like, I just want it
as as cool as it good. I just wanted to
feel a little bit bigger than just we're doing another show.
So once you get people to embrace that, like ah,
which I know from wrestling and being around wrestling stuff,

(42:27):
then they remember like, oh, now you're gonna do like
especially if they're friends of mine, you know, and they're
gonna see me tape it. The idea is I'm doing
this so that someone who's never seen me before in Omaha,
Nebraska can watch my special and be like, oh cool,
I want to see him or maybe somebody who's booking
a theater sees me and I was like, oh, I
got to open for me, you know, so I know
where it's like reasonable. And also if I put it

(42:49):
out and only like one hundred people see it, but
I love it and I know it's good, that's all
that matters, you know.

Speaker 5 (42:54):
Yeah, and at least you did one.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
Yeah, and I did it right.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:59):
I took a fucking.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Swing at the man opportunity, I take it.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
Yeah. Yeah. I also would like to lose a good
ten to fifteen pounds before I get there, but I
don't think that happens, and this guy knows how to
do it.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Don't.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
And we'll get a week before don't and then masturbate
as much as you can. I've gotta lose that water
all the way for a couple of weeks out from
the special?

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Are you you know what you're gonna wear? You know?

Speaker 3 (43:29):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Do you want to how you want to wake up
that morning?

Speaker 4 (43:31):
We are you gonna prep that radio that day? So yeah, yeah,
I'm thinking I'm thinking about maybe getting something in to
fill in for me.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Yeah, I know you should.

Speaker 6 (43:41):
You also do kind of need like you need your
prep time, I think you need something to kind of
distract you a little bit.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
We'll also like I'd be doing radio for the specials
at nine pm. So that's another thing, is like my
folks are coming out and they're older, and like I
have family coming and I have friends, and it's like
nine pm. Karen Karen fee Hand is doing the show
before us. It's a tight window. We were talking about that.
My show's at nine. Uh. We have Ariel Julie's gonna host,

(44:07):
Bob Keene is gonna be on it, Tito Roastbettal tournament winner,
and Brandon keenan Roastbetal champions. So like people have known
four years great people. I love riding with and doing
shows with. Brandon ghoest to me Brand's recording album, Brand's
a Killer. Brandy could be doing this album now if
he wanted to. And he goes, I'm gonna make it
easy for you, he said, he said it to me.
He said it to me like drawing a cigarette from

(44:28):
his mouth on Milwaukee out and he said, I'm gonna
make it easy on it. Man, I'm not gonna make
it easy.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
You bet.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
You better go up there and give him this ship man,
like he's a Southern boy. He fucking knows he's but
he's good. He like lit the fire in my ass.
I like it was like, oh, I fucking kick in
the dirt. But he you know, he's like he's like,
better fucking go, you know. So so like I I
appreciate that. Uh and especially with add At like dolls
me in. But no, so people talk to me about
outfits and stuff. I think it's the last thing I

(44:52):
gotta like Deterbo. It's kind He's but I'm not gonna
walk out there like any ury red leather.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
So there's broad No, dude, it's gonna be I mean,
it's it's a experience, man's experience to be able to
to record something, have it out there, and it's out there.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
Forever I spent I spent at least two hours a
day thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
Two hours. I would spend at least.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
Six anytime I'm walking, anytime I'm walking somewhere, and it's
just me. That's what I'm thinking about the whole time,
the whole time, the whole time. The amount of like
what it's like when you walk out on stage and that. Okay,
now you gotta be good.

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Visualizing, right, like manifesto visualizing at a lot of a
lot of manifesto go to the motion like this is
this is you.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
This is a lot of manifestations.

Speaker 6 (45:51):
But I have to say I saw a special last
year at Lincoln Hall and there was little iccuffs when
he was recording two shows, but the little bit of
cast that was going on. I talked to him afterwards
and it adds to it where he's like, I'm like
I was at that first show. He's like, oh, like
you saw. I'm like, yeah, I'm like I loved it
though it was it pep where he was like he's like,

(46:11):
I don't know what they're gonna keep, but he's like,
I want a little bit of that fuck up in there.

Speaker 4 (46:15):
Well, I mean I want something that even if it's
material been doing, sorry for I Like, even if it's
material I've been doing for years, Like I want a
little bit of like you know, you know it's a show, Yeah,
I know, there's my favorite record now you're doing. I'm
doing the thing where I'm listening to specials. So I
think everyone's talking about the visuals. Visuals have to look
really cool, but like, did you guys ever get into
like comedy, like just as the audio stuff first, because

(46:38):
I know, like we had the like specials came out,
you would see specials in Comedy Central and I'm talking
like then you would get like I was still like
of the CD generation, people like George Carlin Records and
stuff like Maria Bamford with somebody like where I got
the audio open first on Spotify.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
There's a lot of that.

Speaker 6 (46:53):
Yeah, I've done I've done road trips where somebody will
put it on just like a random like you rod trip.

Speaker 4 (46:59):
You're not gonna list in music the whole time.

Speaker 6 (47:01):
It's like somebody was like, oh, here's like a funny bit,
or like oh no, hey, put on this album right now,
and then like who's another guy you got?

Speaker 5 (47:07):
And I'm like, oh, I have like three lined up,
but yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Oh my fair has to be. He passed away years ago.
What's his name? Black comic? Try Murphy, not T Murphy. No, no, no,
I'll keep going back, keep going back, black comic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Burdi hilarious, No, not him even older? What's his name
from the seventies, seventies, eighties, Red Foxmebo.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
The guy who did the Dayball Show.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
No, no, you're talking you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
I forgot hey, you know what you using.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
The album?

Speaker 4 (47:41):
There are there are people watching screaming at you. Richard,
Richard pa, it's a brain fart. You know what.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
I think it's crazy. You said Red Fox. That was like,
who's he said?

Speaker 4 (47:54):
Seventies? You know you're talking to Fox? What's Richard p
Red Fox? Red FROs had filthy stuff. People would buy
a Red Fox album my San Frian's son. Everyone knows
from San France son. I heard people would buy when
you would buy like a dirty comedy album, you know,
like you bought a label, you have to have it
in a paper bag, right. People would get Red Fox albums.

(48:15):
I don't know they had like nudity on the album
cover or anything like that. But it was like when
you had an album, you need to put it in
a paper back.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
You can't, you can't walk out with it.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
That's what I do when I buy an Alba album.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
People people, So that was good, That was good?

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Dude, s O s baby, Yeah, Richard Pryor dude, absolutely no.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
But but it was like comedy he was.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
He did those pits on Chappelle's show. But no, there
was a like for me, it was like I gott
into the albums. So I've been listening to a lot
of comedy albums. There's a Bill Burr record where he
has one of those off color moments and he just
riffs on somebody in there, like he's doing crowd work
on an album. But now everyone, But it was before
everyone put out CrowdWork. Crowd work wasn't something you shared,

(49:03):
you know, crowd work was only for the crowd, you know,
like I heard that from old. Now, because everything's content
you have to feed, everyone's trying to do crowd work
clips now and so we know Big Jay Oakerson is
the single best crowd work. He didn't to completely off

(49:23):
the cuff, didn't write a lick before he went on,
did an album called They Them Two Different Sides, a fun,
fun title, and but he goes up and just rips
it and it's so fearless, and it's it's intimidating because
you're like, like, oh, wow, he's he can be an
astronaut without a helmet, you know, like that's that's like

(49:45):
that level of depth where he can go. But then
I'm also like, no, I'm not trying to do that,
like like like I'm doing my record I'm playing my
hits and then I get to go write new ship.
So like there is that sense of like, oh, once
it's done, I'll be happy with it. But it's also
like listening stuff and like not getting too anxious and
be like, no, you know what you're doing. Yeah, you
don't play play your stuff that you fucking know, be

(50:07):
a c DC, and then the next record you get
to go be Pink Floyd or something.

brother's wedding. It's material I have in the album. I
think I've done some of them for you guys. But
there there's oh man, there's stress. There's stress. Before doing
that was the most stressed out like thing next to
this special in terms of like anxiety and like it
has to be really good. Where I was absolutely there's

(55:54):
no other option. I'm his brother, I'm a Condian. So
the expectation for my fan and in her family bond
with our is and then also like his now wife
is wonderful. It's like so You're not gonna be like
do all jokes, right, I was like no, But then
there's an expectation that I do do jokes. And if

(56:14):
I get up there and I don't do any jokes,
and then I get up there and uh, the the
Maid of Honor only spoke for like less than a
minute and the act was but the expectation was that
she would speak for at least five to ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
She got nervous.

Speaker 4 (56:33):
Something like that, Yeah, there were there there. I mean,
there's stuff that happens at a wedding and you know
causes that, and it was knowing, but the immediately I'm
like looking on them all right, looks like it looks
like you need someone to run the lights. And uh,
I'm feeling really really good, really really good. And that
that that feeling of like you nailing it for people
you know and you care about who put you on

(56:54):
the spot. That's what I want.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
That's probably not and then and people remember that kind
of stuff.
