And Chris to Well.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
It is September the fifth.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Where's the year going, y'all? I have no idea where
in September. My name is Donnie d. Silva.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Like the lady said, and the man next to me,
he is a man who's not thrilled with the fact
that it is September, because September means back to school,
and back to school means more children in the wild,
and more children in the wild means he's a very cranky,
kidless man. He is the cheech to my chong, the
abbot to my costello, the key to my peel.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
This is Chris Tidwell. I will have you know, Donnie,
that I have lots of children really want to know
where they are. Oy neither do you well, I mean,
I mean, okay, who can they haven't been birthed yet. Listen.
I was thinking about this and I feel like you know,
in this day and age of AI, I think we
(01:46):
need to get a new voice for the intro. And
I think at some points, at some point you want
to fire, you want to fire Gina. Well, no, no,
I just want to know if Gina can do an
impression at the end, right, because all I all I hear,
all I hear is a little bit of Ed McMahon
voice saying, hey's Donnie so corny? And Who's who am
(02:17):
I talking to? Whom I talk porn? You? You are
like ninety percent corn and ten percent.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Shit as opposed to you, the King of porn. What No,
not the King Joker? Maybe cleaning guy fluffer ye back
in the day.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well, I'm just there for the start, like I really
care about the finish.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Before we get rolling, folks. I'd want to share with
everyone out there last week on this program when we
had Brittan McAuley. By the way, if you missed that episode,
go back and check it out because it was a
lot of fun. She's a very very funny woman, a
terrific voice actor and great impressionists. So if you missed
that episode, please go check it out. But on that episode,
(03:04):
I mentioned that I was going to be launching a
new project. It's a pro wrestling show that was going
to be on TSN radio as well as available online
and all your major podcast providers same place as you
get this show, Well y'all done did your work, because
the show debuted and it charted and I can't even
(03:28):
tell you how happy and humble I am that so
many people tuned in and gave us a shot in
week one. If you miss that episode, you can still
go check it out on any major podcast provider. Exclusive
interview with Mark Henry ted It's one of those interviews that,
as they say, the dirt Sheets have been pulling from it.
(03:49):
They're getting material out of that interview. Well, I mean,
of course that's what they're supposed to do, isn't it yea?
And that where they get all of their information from.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, they don't. They don't actually like do any journalism.
They just plaintarize. Some do, some do, some do, and
some don't. And that's the wonderful world the professional wrestling.
Everything that happens. Like if you think the world inside
of the business itself, you know, of the wrestling ring
and the promotions and the and all of the craziness
(04:20):
and the levels that there are to that. Outside of
the wrestling business, there's just as many things and levels
to the fuck it carneism that is the these shows
and the journalistic integrities of a lot of people out there,
you know what I mean. There's some shows out there
(04:40):
that do a good job and they analyze and they
talk about it, but they don't try to guess, you know,
or make up fake numbers as to the ratings of
these guys and girls hard work out there. They don't
do any of that stuff, right, So there's different there's
different people in this in in the business and in
and around business, just like there's indie level stuff all
the way up to the shit you see on TV Dony.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So, if you want your pro wrestling fix, you can
check out Huge Pop or you can check out Live
Audio Wrestling featuring my partner here, Chris Didwell. And if
you hate wrestling and you think it's really stupid, that's
okay because we got you covered on this stupid show.
And it is time right now to welcome our guest
(05:25):
I don't think he gives a rat's ass about wrestling, ladies,
Gentlemen's time now for the big Hello and this week's guest.
He's an actor and he's a martial artist, but that's
not why he's here. He's a stand up comedian out
of Ontario who grew up in a super white trash
trailer park before experiencing the ultimate culture shock in the
Big Bad City at Toronto. He managed to acclimatize and
(05:47):
headlined clubs all over Canada, as well as in Scotland, England, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Ireland,
Poland the Netherlands, a lot of really white countries. By
the way, He's actually in the UK right now as
part of a long European tour. At the start of
twenty twenty four, r pal Joey Medina was headlining a
(06:10):
show that was being taped for Russell Peters LMFAO platform.
Joey was obviously the reason that I went down to
check this thing out, but I was really impressed by
this Tom Holland stunt double. When he walked on page.
I turned to Joey and I said, he's not gonna
be funny, good looking guys aren't funny. They don't know pain.
And Joey said, leot me gay. If he's gay and
(06:33):
good looking, could be funny. And I've sid that his
father long thought that he was gay. But apparently he's
either straight or so far back in the closet that
he can't even find the doorway out regardless.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Funny and that's.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Like literally a comedian's only job. So he's good, ladies
and gentlemen. Fellow Acid fucked his face, you see. But
now he's chilling like he's in a jacuzzie. Ladies love him.
They're getting all gen stee. Now give it up to
Canada's response to neck.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
This is Kyle.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Gentlemen, gentlemen, how are we tonight? How are we good?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
We are? We are good?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I got a fucking intro. Jesus Christ. I never had
anything like that before.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Well, the unfortunate thing is is now we're out of time.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah you were late, and now the intro is too long,
and now we're we're all out of time.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Masturbating a public in density. He's a sex offender. You're
gonna love this next guy.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I was actually, as I mentioned in the intro, he's
in the UK.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
He had a gig tonight, heads home from the gig
to join us on this stupid show, and like, so
we're messaging back and forth leading up to this. He's like,
I'm on my way home. I'll be there in two minutes.
So Tid is asking me, He's like, so, where's the guest.
I'm like, he said two minutes, and we're like, yeah, well,
he's like a girl, I'll be down in two minutes.
(08:03):
It's never two minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I know. I'm I got lost twice because I'm just
learning the fucking uh yeah, so I am. I guess
like a girl that way, but I was just learning
all this like UK transit system. It's like you take
the underground tube and then you go there to none
of them, Like there's like twenty ways to get the
same way, and it's just so confusing. And yeah, I
(08:27):
got lost like five times. I had to like tug
a nice man's sleeve and be like I'm lost. It's
fucking embarrassing. I'm turning thirty this year, for Christ's sakes,
fucking lost.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
What city are you in right now?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'm in London.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh okay, you're in London. Nice?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I mean that's yeah, how much how much are you
working versus like going out and seeing the culture and
meeting really hot people.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Honestly, I did not come here to to do any
fucking around. The Canadian dollar is half the uh UK dollar,
so I'm literally fucking just eating cottage cheese over the
sink and try not to start to death and die.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I love the fact that he basically just said, listen,
I came here to make you fucking laugh, and I'm
fucking leaving all right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
The only way I'm gonna like go on Tinder is
genuinely if I could like secure a place to crash
that night, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
With you, I mean, that's that's the life, right, I mean,
how do you what do you need Tinder for? You
just said you got lost. You can't meet people the
old fashioned way and be like, hey miss I'm lost,
take me home.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
No, I got vaccinated, so I think I have autism now,
So I just can't.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I can't keep it cut close to you had it before,
but you also have it now.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Well I got double back, so it probably just double
down on the whole further on the spectism ship.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's how it works. Well, congratulations, thank
you gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
The yeah, like a like if they made X Men today,
it would just be six people with autism going like
there's like shooting lasers.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I have a much better chance of getting a TV
show if I had autism.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
You're not wrong. Also, if you were less ugly, that
would help.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That does, That doesn't That does at that point doesn't matter.
I think it matters a little. If you're this you
thought was autism, I am not. Well, that is not
something I am. No, that ship is sailed. You got
hit with the ugly stick. All right, enough of us
about the ugly stick. Let's talk about our guests here. Yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You're doing this comedy thing and and yeah, you just
sort of alluded to the fact that you're over in Europe.
You said you're gonna be there till what like sometime
middle of next year or something like that.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, like I have, I'm gonna be here. I go
to Sweden end of this month, and then I'm in
Scandinavia for like all those different countries for a bit,
and then what's after that, that's October November is all
all of Ireland, and then I go back to Scandinavia.
(11:27):
For I have a residency at a at a club
for two months, and then I go to Singapore and
then I go to back to the I have stuff
lined up for the UK, but I am coming back
to Canada because I'm with yack Yux. They're like a
national touring agency in Canada. So it'll be touring me
again fall twenty twenty five. But I'll be doing a
few trips to America just sort of see what's up.
(11:50):
A couple of times, I think I'm going to go
in December, I'm gonna go to La Yeah. But I mean,
you know, comics, we sort of have to do this
because like if you stay it's so weird. Like if
you just stay in one spot, they don't They're like,
oh okay, you're here, and like no one works to you.
But if you're like, hey, i'm a new guy in town,
(12:10):
they give you all the gigs. So if you're always
the new guy in town, you'll like make a living.
You just will have no one that loves you. When
you die, that won't matter. That's not going to matter
what you do in life. Brother, let me ask you
a question. And I always wonder about this because, like
(12:30):
with musicians, when they're on the road. It's the same
kind of solid professional wrestlers on the road, they're always
practicing the craft as well as doing the show that
they're out there to do. Have you found it easy
to write new material based on what you've experienced so
far in the UK and the people living there around you.
(12:51):
I feel like it depends on the show. There's certain shows, Like,
like I said, like at my stage in the career,
I'm not like I have a couple of accomplishments, but
I'm certainly not like a famous guy. So like you know,
I sort of like if someone's gonna pay me, Like
someone offered me four hundred pounds to do a gig,
(13:13):
which is almost in Canadian that's like almost a thousand bucks.
I'm not doing. I'm literally just doing what's gonna get
me hired again, because something like that would change like
my whole month. But on there's a bunch of like
what they have called like new material nights here and
then those nights. Yeah, like you really got to be
(13:35):
churning over material. Like the culture here is like every
year they go I just did the N'burg Fringe Festival,
but every year the top guys you have a new
hour every year. I met an incredible comedian named Tom Staid.
He's on his seventeenth hour of seventeen years in a row.
It's a new hour, just any fucking murdering, and you know,
(13:58):
like to me, that's sort of what I want. And
what's cool is like this this scene out here, it's
like half comedy club half theater, so it lets you
it opens the door to you know, now I'm talking
about stuff that you know, I never really would have
been that vulnerable when I was back in Canada, where
it's like it lets me open a free space to
(14:21):
open that up a bit more, which is just more
material to drop from. So yeah, like definitely, and also
just being like a fish out of water, Like I
have a couple jokes here making fun of like you know,
a new accent here and there. Like there's there's birds
here that I've like never seen before, Like seagulls are
like like they're right up to your crotch, and I've
(14:44):
been saying that they're like perfect sloppy toppy height, which yeah,
like I don't understand. Like there's just certain things that
are just different that are pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I love the right I was gonna say, no, it's
not and let's hope you do that. That is not
a TikTok trend that we all need to be associated
to your name. And then the algorithm comes back to
this show and fuck, worse things to be canceled for.
There's worse thing.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Donnie and Chris gave me the idea of fellas like.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That's fine, you can't cancel us, man, There's just no hope.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
People have tried for twenty five years. Yeah, people have
to give a shit before you can cancel them.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
That's part of it too.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It's interesting when you talked about the comedy culture out
there because a friend of the show and friend of mine,
Michelle Shaughnessy, stand up comedian, she left Toronto almost three
years ago. About two and a half years ago, she
left Toronto and she said, yeah, I'm gonna go do
a residency over in England. I think I'm going to
(15:49):
be there for about six months because you know, I
have a chance to do some gigs and really do
well for myself. I'm like, great man, like good luck.
Bitch hasn't been back. I think she's come back for
like she's been back for like Christmas, and she's been
back for like the odd birthday and you know whatever.
But she's living there, and like the comedy scene, the
(16:12):
way she talks about it is it is so completely
different than what it is in Toronto. Other than the
fact that you're referring to the pressure of just churning
out content and material, do you see the comedy scene
being that much different over there, maybe in terms of compensation,
(16:34):
in terms of saturation, in terms of people's desires.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I was gonna say, in terms of what you can
what you can and cannot say. I mean, perfect example
I think would be the fact that you know you
can say kunt to a lot of people openly in England.
So I mean, is the expectation a little bit? Are
you able to push that line a little bit more there?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I would say for me, a thing that I tell
myself is that the frequency is funny and genuinely, We're
all people, and we all lie, and we all swear,
we get mad, and I think that unifies all of us.
Just the objective and the onus is on me to
sort of tune into the frequency of whatever audience I'm
(17:21):
in front of, to communicate my funny to them. So
you know, if I do a show and a bunch
of you know, old ladies, they're people too, like you know,
they might want to put on this little front and
be appropriate because their grandson's sitting right beside them. But
it's my job to sort of get them out of
that shell. And that's personally where I find successes, where
(17:44):
I'm just myself and trusting that they're going to find it.
And so in that, I don't feel like there's much
difference in terms of like what you're able to get
away with. There are a few cultural differences that I
was quite surprised that. For instance, like I would go
into certain towns and like one of my cleaner jokes
(18:06):
is actually quite offensive in Scotland because it's just a
joke about how I was raised Catholic. But over there
they the Catholic versus the Protestants. That's like there's people
who are murdered for that. And so when I just
said I was yeah, it was like, yeah, so that's something.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
What did you say, let's hear the joke.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Then it's not even really much. It was just literally
it's not even making fun of anybody it's just genuinely
like my observations during church growing up. But it's the
fact that I even mentioned the church. Like I had
this joke saying, like the way we were taught to
take the communion was this way. But then I saw
another guy going down the aisle like this, and if
(18:46):
you go down the aisle like this, when you get
to the priests, you go, ah, I like, and then
the priest just finger focks your face in front of
all these children, and it's like the guy saw that
killed Yeah, yeah, North America. They're like, Okay, this is fine,
like there's no divide here, but that's like it's very
(19:07):
divisive over here for some reason. So it's just like, oh, okay,
that used to be a joke that got me out
of a whole if I was too dirty because I'm
mostly like an X rated comedian, but now I don't
even have that option. So it's like okay, but you
know that's what happens. It's like now I'm just sort
(19:28):
of growing and I'm I have this other joke that
now is like working that never really worked before. So
I just got to keep writing. I got to keep
you know, pushing myself in terms of like what the
scene is. I feel like I can't really speak on
behalf of America as much because I haven't been there
that much, but I think Toronto and Canada as a
(19:48):
whole sleeps on the European scene, like fucking nuts. I
know that I did. London is like almost three times
a size as Toronto. I didn't know that it's like
six hundred and four square miles in Toronto's two forty four,
so getting it like, it's huge here. There's as many
(20:08):
clubs in the UK as there are in Canada, except
it's a fifty dollars train to the next one as
opposed to a seven hundred dollars round trip, So it's
fucking nuts. I've been here for three days and I
have dates till February of next year, so there's a lot.
(20:30):
There's a lot to be had here. I still don't
think like I still plan on coming back to Canada
because my whole goal was to be international, and I
don't ever really want to call any place home because
I don't like it when I become too localized. I
(20:51):
like knowing that this joke works in Australia and that
it also is going to work you know, I've never
been in Australia, but I like that. It's that I could.
I want to be able to go into any crowd
that spaces English and fucking kill Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I think what you're realizing, though, and you've already alluded
to it is the regionality of certain bits, right, some
stuff is going to play really well in other places
it's not. But I think ultimately that's that awareness is
going to make you a better comic because it's going
to force you to think, how do I kill here?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
And it reminds me of a conversation I had with
our pal Joey Medina, who I was with the night
I met you, and Joey was talking about how you know,
when he's on stage, he's pretty filthy, he's pretty dirty.
You know, half the time he's just I fucking a
hot girl in the second row. But he also, for
(21:48):
a long time was a head writer on a TV
game show where the comedy is very schlocky. It's very
dad joke, it's very PG, Like PG might be too edgy, right,
It's a lot of puns and a lot of like
goofy daytime TV humor. And he's like I hated doing
(22:08):
that shit, but you know what, that shit pays, and
I had to figure out how to be funny from
that perspective.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
And he's like it made me feel.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Richer as a comedian, like, oh, I got this bullshit
bullet in my arsenal now.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yeah, no, honestly, And yeah, and I remember the night
that I met Joey and he, you know, I really
judge a comic based off of like the loudness of
laughs they get like it's not like you know what
I mean, He fucking just got like a huge booming
(22:43):
laugh and then everything was followed by an applause. Yeah,
so you know what I'm saying, like, yeah, he murdered
that night.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
He and but you know what's part of it. Part
of it too was he had a strong, strong lead
in you know, like there was a few acts that
were up before him. You were one of them, obviously,
And it's like when you have a when you have
what's that Paula murdered too, she kills was fantastic. We
had Paula on this show a few months back and
(23:12):
she killed here too. And you know it's funny because
I see these things and it's like, you know, Joey
talks about this all the time. He's like, when you
have lead ins and warm ups and people that are
on before you that kill your job is so much easier.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
And I mean, I'm sure for you when you headline,
there's got to be times when you walk out on
stage and you're.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Like, thanks, assholes, you did me no favors.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Now this crowd is contemplating suicide, and I got to
go out there and try to bring them back.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I genuinely my opinion is that it doesn't matter what
happens before me. I'm pretty hard on myself when it
comes to I mean, certainly like things could be helped.
I certainly, you know, can see and I've been in
shows where I don't think the comedians knew it, but
(24:08):
they were sabotaging the show just by talking in the
back and stuff like that. But I think that the
second I start blaming external factors on my performance, it's
just it. Slipping into that territory is just so tempting
and convenient, because then you'll then I'll I know myself, like,
(24:29):
I'll start to do that even when it is my fault.
So I just never even branch into that territory. I
always ask it's only when I exhaust did I do
every fucking thing I could have done to murder? And
if the answer is yeah, you did, but XYZ happened,
and this sort of fucked up, you know, And and
(24:50):
also like I don't having that martial arts background doesn't
like you know, I wasn't even like anything major. I
only had one competition, but it did teach me a
lot of lessons in terms of of you know, like
when I'm learning something new, to not be so hard
on myself because the energy spent on beating yourself up
will prevent you from from doing something like that again
(25:12):
and growing. So like, for instance, I'm in this new country.
I'm going to be in a new country pretty much
every three weeks until I hit like ten different countries.
I'm going to be in front of people who speak
English for a second language. I'm going to be genuinely,
I got like six hours to learn an entire culture
before I try to find out what their humor is.
(25:32):
I'm going to be fucking up a little bit, and
I understand that. But you know what would have made
me feel really good and not fuck up is if
I just stayed in Toronto and even on top of that,
I had to move to Toronto. I used to live
in a fucking like a butt fuck nowhere town, so what.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Was just fuck nowhere town?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I moved around a lot growing up, but I split
my time as all southern Ontario. We moved about ten
to eleven times. But I grew up. Part of my
growing up was in finland Falls, which is like a
population like three thousand, and then other part was just
the suburbs of Toronto.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
So you know fland Falls you I just heard this
the other day. Fenland Falls is on the chart for
highest cocaine and meth use per capita in North America.
It's like in the top five.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Well, we were getting fucked up. I don't know what
it was, but buddy, So I didn't grow up like
I Basically, we had a trailer park in finland Falls
that was almost like separate from the town and we
would flip houses during the school year and live in
the trailer during the summers. So because we flipped houses,
(26:49):
we never really had a home, but that trailer felt
like a home, like that's where like family pets are
buried and there's a wall with my height since I
was four, but that trailer park. It's like not really
a associated with the town, but it still has that
like people just fucking and bushes getting hammered and just
speeding on golf carts and just hitting people and shit,
(27:11):
just the whitest, like everyone's got an ATV and like
white Peter tan Lines. It's the best. It was the best.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Sounds like a good time. You could have also, you
could have also described my hometown of Las Vegas the same.
It is the yeah, same exact way. I was gonna ask,
like why it was that you moved around It didn't
want to be too like forward in it. You said
you guys were flipping homes and stuff like that, because
it sounded like that's a perfect description of somebody who
(27:40):
moves around so much because they're a silly serial killer.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
At the same time, well, my dad, actually you know
what I found out.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I'll tell you why, Yeller Blue dude, if you're about
to tell me that he was a serial killer, I
need to FOCA time twenty and go.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Just me and my mic.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
No.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
But like me and my siblings, where my parents are
like crazy, they're just crazy. And I don't mean that like,
oh my mom's crazy she's this Italian lady. That's like, sure,
they've both been to jail for like what they used
to do to us, Like the neighbors would over here
and be like this can't happen and then they go
to jail and shit. But yeah, my dad, uh, they're
(28:20):
both like very rough, alcoholic Irish people. And my dad
one time separately, and I found this out by talking
to my siblings separately. He told all of us like
he never had a talk like if you're gay, I
love you or anything like this. Like he literally had
a talk saying if you kill anyone, I don't want
you to call the police. You come to me, and
(28:43):
your dad's gonna help help you.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
That is pretty much the most honest dad life lesson
you could ever have. Yeah, he said so many things
to you without having to say anything at all. Right,
what better way can you say? I love you son?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
That's so funny you might actually hearing me saying that
on stage because then like straight up, like I I
thought that was like the only conversation I had. But
I recently toured Canada, so I got to see all
my siblings are all like spread out across Canada, and
they all were like, did Dad ever give you that
kill somebody's speech before? And we're like, oh my god, yeah,
(29:24):
that was like a thing he did, so, I mean
I actually was flattered. I thought I was like the
special one, I thought.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
But anyway, No, no, not that special after all. No.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, we moved around a lot just because we were poor,
Like we'd run out of money and then we'd moved
somewhere else and it was just sort of like that.
But I feel like there's also a lot of humor
in that, Like most of my humor comes from, you know,
how fucked up shit used to be. Like my dad
and I we dumpster dive before, you know what I mean,
(29:57):
Like he literally pushed my ass into trash and he's like,
get the good stuff through my ass in the trash.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
That's how I was founder rat. I was born the
same way, you know. Yeah, right, you guys are a
lot of light.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Other than the fact that, other than the fact that
story I hear your story, I feel your story.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I was four years old and I was in a
cult that's like one of those one of those traveling
church you know, go up to people like set up
the tent, tug on people's shirts, in the seventies. Hey,
come to our you know, evangelist thing. We're only here
for the weekend. By the way, bring lots of money.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
That's fucking hell. And you're you're the perfect guy to
do it. You're the perfect recruiting Yeah you know, I
mean a four year old kid, Jesus.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Yeah, blonde hair down to the middle of my back,
little Mickey Mouse t shirt and a brown leather vest
with tassels on it, mock some white leather bible. Duh.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Have those tattoos back then, did you? Because that would
do with three of them?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Three of them?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah right, no, yeah, But like in my opinion, that's
where like a lot of humor comes from. Like I
feel like in comedy, all the pain and suffering you get,
you just cash in. So like I even I have
jokes too, Like I don't really like talking about it
too much because it involves like a real person, but
(31:26):
fuck it, who cares. But my mom got really drunk
one time and she sort of came on to me, Wait,
who is this my mom like a little like it's
it's fucked up, and it fucked me up. But one
time she told me, she goes, Kyle, you have a
bigger penis than your father and literally pornhub. Yeah, but
(31:50):
like I was like literally getting like that's like sexual abuse.
But inside I'm like going right.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
It's like you told everybody in junior high.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
If you tell any guy his dick's bigger than his dad's, like,
he'll fuck you mom or not? Could I get an amen? Cos?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Yeah? So what was it like when your mom's no,
it was just right, you finished, that's all. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
But I feel like a lot of my comedy is
like so that what actually happened is that I was
just horribly awkward. I blacked it out and became an alcoholic.
So that's not really that funny. So comedy it's like
I get to make something that was really fucked up.
I get to now I am the boss, if that
(32:43):
makes sense. Now I get to be the one laughing
at you. So most of my comedy comes from like
really bad things that happened where I was like really
embarrassed or humiliated, and then I become the guy on
stage telling it and then I get paid at the
end of the night, and so I'm like, all right,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Care, Okay, So two things.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
One I fully apologize and retract the statement I made
while I was sitting there heckling with Joey the night
that I met you, when we said there's no way
he can be funny. He's too good looking to know pain,
Like he's never been fucking stood up by a chick.
He doesn't know, he doesn't know hurt. He's too he's
too pretty. Nah, dude, you know pain. So I retract
(33:26):
all those statements you're funny. And also part two is
from this point forward, I will always and forever refer
to you as Kyle motherfucker Lucy.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Ay, Okay, I'm.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Not convinced that. I think he still looks like a
drama student who could have made this entire story of
his life. It's a hell of a monologue, I'll tell
you that. And he moves around, and he moves around
and changes it all the time. Yeah, you give off
a bit of a dexter vibe, Kyle. Okay, this is
all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I think that as a compliment.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Honestly, An he's more like he's more like Joe from
the show You.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yeah, these are all like TV credits, guys.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
These are well paid actors. Tid I want to ask
you a question because going back to the days when
you and I first met, when we were working at
a very popular Toronto nightclub, when Kyle here was still
a toddler, which is kind of insane to say out loud,
but it's true. You were one of the biggest badasses
in the city, like literally fucking people up just for
(34:46):
being loud and stupid. There was a guy that we
worked with, No, I'm not going to shut up. There
was a guy that we worked with back then who
was a long, tall, skinny white guy, and he used
to go around saying, all the long, tall, skinny white
guys are going to move all going to muay Thai,
all of them tall skinny white guys muay Thai. Why
(35:09):
is it tidd because Kyle fits in this category. Why
are the tall, skinny white guys all doing muy Thai?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Because I think it's a it's a sport where they
can take serious advantage. I think that with the training
and being able to use the limbs, because it's the
art of it's the art of eight limbs basically, right,
it's once you can get comfortable in there, once you
get comfortable getting hit, then working on your striking is
(35:36):
just it's just fun. And I love watching it all
the time because you I, we used to see it
all the time. It places like ciam one and two
all all the time, tall skinny white guys in there
just given it was great. And then they'd come down
to the club and then you know, master suite Chart
would come down with them and then embarrass them with
his drunkenness and have to get carried out of there.
(35:57):
It's great, but not before like give me all those
old cues and lining them up and then bangs, smashing
like ten of them at a time with his drunken
old fool was the best, the best. I remember.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I remember going to a tournament back then that a
friend of ours was in, and I remember seeing all
these tall, skinny white guys competing. But the guys that
that wrecked shop were the short, stocky guys that when
they put their knee up, there's no hit zone whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Nothing. There's a guy fighting this week in one Josh Haggarty,
Josh Haggerty, unbelievable, unbelievable striker like and he guess what,
tall skinny white guy.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yeah right, he's so sick, so incredibly sick.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Do you do you watch a lot of way Tie
and combat sports STOKA.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I love watching UFC. I did. I trained muay Thai
for about four years, but I did. I was in
a gym as the art of nine limbs. We just
all did more time about with our dicks out fair.
I was.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
You're right in Thailand. I liked that you held on
to it long enough, going would this guy please shut
the fuck up so I can get this out?
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
You had this bitch just sitting there. Yeah, I've said
the same church anyways, go ahead, No, I mean yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
No, I trained it, and I genuinely like, it's just
COVID happened. I was supposed to tour. My tour got canceled,
and I was like, oh well, I didn't know if
comedy was ever going to come back. And I lived
with a guy who had like twenty fights in muay Thai,
and so he was just like, yo, my gym got
closed down because he sort of had his own gym.
(37:39):
So he basically just was like, all right, I'm just
and a lot of trainers were like, we're just taking
privates and parks. So in Canada we had SERB, which
is like our lockdown benefit, like two grand a month,
I just handed it over to my Mortai coach and
just fucking I was like, do it to.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Hell with food and shelter. Yeah, I'm going to leave.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Yeah. So he gave me like four privates a week
and it got me pretty decent pretty fast. And then
I joined Toronto Kickboxing Wait Thai Academy TKMT and I
started coaching there, just beginner and and there's like four
levels there. So the beginner is like someone who's right
off the street who doesn't know how to even stand
(38:23):
or I would just show them basically at a kick
and punch nothing. I would never corner anybody. And then
I did one competition and I loved it, but I
ended up ranching out into MMA because I like jiu jitsu,
I like boxing, I like kickboxing. I like I did
Dutch style Muay Thai with really good trainer. It's funny
(38:46):
you mentioned as on suit chart because I've never met
him before, but I you know, I always hear about
him because there's not a lot of as in Canada.
But yeah, just you know, I personally liked it because
it was a you know, I got a lot out
of it life lessons wise, but in terms of like
what I like to watch. I watch UFC because I
hate to say it, but I mean it's it's great,
(39:07):
but it's it's half martial arts, half WWE. And people
are on the MIC's like I'm gonna fucking burn your
house down with your kids.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Well that happened in wrestling this past week, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah what he house got burned down? Yeah? Come on
good TV. Yeah, ae W or some shit like that.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Oh they're crazy over there, right.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, they they all want to die, they all want
concussions and CTE. You know what I'm thinking you talk
about you talk about UFC. If I've learned anything from
watching guys like Jail and Connor McGregor, there's a place
for comedy in mixed martial arts. So I think if
(39:49):
you were to say, this stand up thing is cute
and all, but the path to riches and super hot
ring card girls is going to be in mixed martial arts.
And here's the gimmick, Kyle. When you're about to start
a fight, you just lay into your opponent, like roasting
(40:10):
him and getting him unfolk like not in the pre fight.
During the fight, you get in his head, you make
the fucker giggle and when he giggles down, you go.
And then when you got him down in the guard,
then you just you make him giggle a little bit.
Maybe you tickle him a little bit, you go a
little unorthodox, you know.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Yeah, I was saying, go ahead, yeah, well some because
I have a bdsmkin. So if somebody choked me out,
I would like I'd come all over their feet.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
I wonder if that's in the rules, like, you know,
because on emaculation, I would I I would like to
think that I would tap out.
Speaker 2 (40:53):
No, no making cummies general.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
I think putting your junk in a guy's mouth would
be part of the shooking rule.
Speaker 3 (41:01):
Well, that's why they did break up.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
I did jiu jitsu for like six eight months or
something like that, and there's this position called you guys
probably know, but maybe your listeners. It's called north south,
which is just sixty nine sixteen. It's sixty nine. And
it's like I got him in north south. It's like, dude,
come on, and some guy got me a north south
And while he was passing, he just was like only
(41:25):
this and then farted right in my face and passed me.
I'm like, all right, this is. I don't care if
this makes me a better fighter. I'm not doing jiu jitsu.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
The worst part about North South is a guy gets
his junk in your face and you're like, shit, he's
so much bigger than me.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
But that's that's intimidating. Get off.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Yeah damn bruh.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
Sorry, flashback my fucking who bite his pubes off?
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Get these out of here.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
I think there's a market there.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Man. If this you're and tour doesn't pan out, we'll
find we'll find some connections for you and get your
few fights and you just you just do open mic
night on all these fuckers.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I would probably do like I did. Have this one
the only joke that I have about because anytime I'm
doing stand up and I'm like, I do mo Thai,
Everyone's like, you're not funny now, and so I have
one job. But the only joke I have about it
is that ties into this is not true, but I
(42:31):
just find it funny. It's like, this is the anniversary
of when I was molested by my karate instructor, and
although he took a part of me that I can
never get back, he did teach me a thing or
two about self defense. And I'd like to do a
brief demonstration of my skills.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
That's a visual gag for anyone who's listening to the audience, only.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
The slurping. Put it over. Slurping was so stupid.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Slurping otherwise known as a kid Tuesday Night. That's fucking awesome, Kyle, Listen,
we are up against the clock. Let's do this again. Man,
at some point it'll be a lot of fun. You're
a fun guy. Continued success on this tour. Whatever you do.
Don't don't get hypnotized by the sweet UK ladies, because
(43:32):
that will just fuck up your whole mission. Like you will,
just like you will lay down roots and you'll be like,
but Chelsea is so good to me, and I don't
need to go to Sweden because she's so sweet and
her teeth aren't that bad. Like you don't want to
don't don't fall into all that, man, Just stay focused,
(43:53):
stay on brand, right fuck people will being killed?
Speaker 3 (43:58):
Yeah, no, not my goal.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
My sites are set on North America. But I genuinely
do want this to be like Europe, to be four
months of the year of where every year I go
here and I just fucking work. I tour, I open
my mind and then I go back for sure.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Like Neil Perk, he used to do the same thing,
right and rush albums.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Absolutely, yeah, that's the goal. At least I don't know
what's going to happen. You know, anything can happened.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
Well, he got that's what happened. So that's what you
have to look forward to. Sorry you said.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
