2:22That was, I was proud of it. Taking that. Yeah. Jared Freed specials out now on Netflix. Go watch it. Boost that shit. Boost that shit right now. Do something. Just watch it and enjoy it. Share it. That's all you're going to do. Now, this is my one thing we'll move on. One hour story about going to the beach with my parents in 2018. My dad asked me how much I weighed at the beach. That's crazy. And then I turned that into a whole hour of stand-up that's about my family and body issues. And obviously last time you were on the podcast, we were talking about your parents. Yeah. There I say uncomfortable closeness with your life. We are. There is just, I love them. I love hanging out with them. They, there is no like, oh, we won't talk about that. No, we taught, they are just openly, they're like rickals. Like they're just like openly, and now the thing is now that I'm a comedian and their friends like, no, I'm a comedian. Like it's like open season that they can just like, talk crap to me. Yeah.

3:22I tell you what, he used to piss the bed and you go, why do you tell them? Right. So that was actually going to be my question is, does this vindicates them that you did a whole hour on a thing they did and they got told you? Yeah. They think that they love it. They love. My dad, when we did the promo, none of you go watch it. He is like acting better than like anyone's ever acted because he's just being himself. He was like kind of like a 30 out of 10. There were like, he goes, literally he was like, look, he at the end of the promo where he's like, look at him. Look at him. Look at him. He's not fat. He's thick. And like, none of that is like him putting it on. It's just he was like allowed to be his full self. Do you, are you, are you seeing someone? I have a girlfriend now. Yeah. What is that like in bringing that into a very public, your parents talk shit about, you know what I mean? They, she gets it because her family like has some crazy, crazy to it.

4:22Every family has it. And I think that's what I love about her is like, she also like, I think you need to date someone who can see the other angles and where it's coming from. Like when my dad has me, I'm much I way. The problem with parents is that they're 10% right all the time. So like, it is, it is not good. It's like a movie when they call it based on real events. Right. Their movie is always based on real events. You're totally right. Because. Oh, I like, like, kind of, kind of did happen. Right. I, I, damn, I, I, you're asking much of a way because you think I'm a fat fuck. I do think myself as a fat fuck, but I don't go to the beach and think about that while at the beach. Like, I'm naked right now. I'm going to have a good time. And you're ruining my enjoyment. Right. You're ruining the day. So like, she, I think what I love about my girlfriend and I, but I know it's going to, there's going to be a day where my parents will get too comfy, cozy, say something that they think is towards her. And it'll just be, it might be too hard at me where she's like mad for me.

5:25Oh, that's the best feeling, bro. Can I tell you right now? That's like the sign of a great relationship or that you're in love is when that they get mad for you about something that your parents said to you and you go, right? Right. You look at him and you go, thanks. It's like when someone wrongs you on an airplane and you turn to someone that's sitting in another seat that has nothing to do with the person who wronged you and they just look at you go, yeah, no, that was horrible. And you're like, that's a hero. We're missing that. We're missing that from community. I agree. And I think what happened is everyone thought that was what the comment sections were going to be. No, no, you need the person that goes. Yeah, I do. I do. I do. I feel great that I'm still high off. Please, you know what ruined it before you get into it? Headphones. Headphones. Everyone's in their own world. So you're not like, I know something crazy is going on when I'm one headphone out. Yeah, arched around a corner. Yeah, dude. And sometimes I will miss context because my headphones are in.

6:25I hate it. And then I go, what did I miss? Just yesterday walking to the cellar. I'm at the subway station and this guy and his girlfriend are going, what the fuck? What the fuck? And this guy's just walking off. And I know if I didn't have my headphones in, I would have heard. I would have walked. It's like going to the bathroom at the movies. You're like, that's a 10 minute spot that I can't go back to the DVD and watch it later. But there is something great about someone going like, I saw that. And you go, that's a drug. That's totally a drug. The one I'm still riding off of was when I lived in Queens fucking years ago. I haven't lived in Queens in over five years. I lived at a story of Boulevard station, which is like stairs. Yeah. There is an elevator. So, whenever there would be like, I don't know, either someone with a baby carriage or someone that needed an old lady lifting like the cart for her groceries. He just helped out. The community comes together, like a scene out of Spider-Man.

7:25Right? And so I'm leaving the Dunkin' Donuts right by the train station and this lady's got her baby carriage and I go to grab it. And another guy grabs it. And they walk up the stairs and I was like, oh, okay. And it's like, what happened or whatever. And then there's old black guys behind me and he goes, I see you big man. You get credit for that. And I went, thank you. And it called me big man and everything. Big man from a black guy. Baby. My feet didn't touch the ground for a week. I was like, I'm the best person in the world. You are. I'm the best person in the world. You are. You're the best. I see you big man. You still get credit. That's it. Oh my God. I like skipped up the stairs to my coffee. I was like, the janitor for Broody. He's like, God. He's like, God. Right. Who's the wild man now? Why do people use a mythical black old black people to feel good? Right. Back of ads. Tale is on this time. But it was like, those acknowledgements. It's all you want.

8:25You just want to know. It's the gym helper. Look at the camera. Yeah. And you're just looking for a, I was on a flight. This girl, this woman had three kids with her. And then this girl, who I already knew was crazy. I clocked her from the minute she, she was in a wheelchair, like getting wheeled not her own. It was the airport wheelchair, getting wheeled by someone who works at the airport. And she's doing selfie videos in the chair. So I was like, we got one. We got one. Like I'm like, eyes on that one. I looked at my girlfriend. I go, something's up. Keep an eye on her. That is funny that I love that you can go like, like a detective. You go, something's off. Yeah. That woman's too self involved and sucks to be in a wheelchair. Right. She would have been humbled by a real condition that would have put her in a wheelchair. Totally. You did the wheelchair. She would have been humbled. And yeah, totally. And also you have someone at the airport whose job is like, like that's not the job.

9:26You know where your job is like, hey, you're just on duty for like helping people out. And usually it's older people. It's she was like 25 and selfies. It's like, you know, it's like a madlib that didn't go together. I was like, that's something. You're describing something that just makes me angry. It was so angering, but you can't. You got to start. You start at, she's got something off. So we get on the airplane. The same girl is now walking behind. She's behind a woman who's helping her kids get in the seat. And literally the girl, she was dressed like, you know, the movie Just Friends with Amy Smart and Ryan Reynolds. And then who plays the pop star one? Anna Ferris. Anna Ferris in that. She's crazy. She's like the sex crazed pop star. That's who it looked like. And she literally, she goes, please move. I've been standing here forever. And then the woman turns back. The mom is like, I can't believe it. And literally me, both headphones out. I'm like, yeah. She. Yeah, you popped up like a mere. Oh, I was in.

10:26I got it. I got to know. And you're up on your seat. Just looking at you. And you're back and it was whole for snacks. She goes, I said, please. Okay. I, Emily at one point, my girlfriend, she literally looked at me. She goes, you need to turn back around. Like I was like, I'm on this for the first hour of the flight. Yeah. Like this is, we're not moving. We're not leaving this seat. I love it. This is the OJ case. Yeah. This is, we are having a crew here. What happened on the flight? She was totally fine. She had one other moment where she went to the bathroom at the same time as the mom. Oh. And I was like, okay, see you too. Yeah. Here we go. Were you mad, nothing transferred? So mad. I want, and I, you should just serve it. I wanted to be that for the mom though. I was actually up looking for the mom. I like that. And I was already, I was literally ready willing and able to give her the full. That's, I was going to jowl. Just the full shake. I think the problem of this is we've lost containment of autism.

11:27And now it's, there's, there are hots with, hots with, hots with, hots. There's hots with, there are, there are, there are, there are hot people that are autistic. Well, it's the spectrum because if the spectrum, you know, the spectrum exists, I, you would say, there you go. We're all kind of waiting for the, for the aza. You're going to be, you know, because that's the way we argue is like as a woman who needed to be pushed in a wheelchair, every comment on everything is aza. Yeah. They go into their aza. Aza, man that actually has an autistic son. I don't like this comparison. Right. Right. Great. I'm saying we've allowed everyone to use it. So everyone's going to be acting a little like it where it's like there are real people that have like, oh right. No, there's, there's a breaking case of emergency that you can do where you go, let me just find a way to victimize myself. And then I will make you the evil villain in this story.

12:29Look at how many older, rich comedians that become assholes just go, actually, they just realize them on the spectrum. That's such a, that is, what a cop out. Can we just call that part? Look, can we just be like, that's a pussy move? Like, I, I, you know, it's a bitch move. It's like, it's not respects. I felt there's a point. Like, dude, you're, honestly, I liked it better when he was just a dickhead because I remember the first time he was a dickhead to me in 07 when I moved here. What he was a dick to you. He's a dick to everybody, dude. I only met him once. He likes people when they're famous or when they ball wash him. Right. He doesn't like just wrangle it regular random comics. He gave me one compliment and the at Gotham. Yeah. There you go. You were probably clean and you didn't do anything. I did a joke. It was, I said that I, you know, it was from my first special that almost pimped over hair was, you know, directed and made with me. The, I said that I believe everything is healthy.

13:29I can rationalize any food. Now I was like, I think, well, it rationalized any food. It was like, it was like Justin's peanut butter cups. You know, Reese's are unhealthy, but Justin's peanut butter cups are, I believe, give me abs. And he goes, I can't stay age. And I had my recorder going on my pocket. And he goes, Justin's peanut butter cups. It was there just the whole time. That's cool. And that was cool that like he gave like a, he does, he does love, right? That's what I'm almost like. Now that we're talking about this thing, go, is he autistic? Because like the way he is, like, he might actually not be coppin' it at all. And I was explaining that he's so obsessed with the words, like, you've ever, you've ever been... We're just watching my opinion change in real time. I love you've ever heard him talk about like writing a joke where he's like, he goes, Don't act like, I did, I read the fucking... No, I know, I, but I'm saying the, the... I'm, I was even a fan of a 17 year old girlfriend, not him, Dave, or I wanted to date her. I was a fan of it when they're like, oh, you remember a 17 year old girlfriend and you go, I don't forget those titties. And brother, at the time, I was like 15.

14:31She was age appropriate for me. We were like, high fiveing him from Denver. I was like, boo! I was like, I was like, I'm sorry, I felt the best of all time. Right. Also the movie comedian greatly affected me being a comedian. It's quite a watch. I've watched it obsessively. Like, at the point that I wouldn't say like, if you're a cop, you want to be a comic watcher, I'd say like, just in my, it's like the way musicians talk about like Zeppelin 3. It's like... I don't know Zeppelin 3. It's just like a lot of musicians, not even that album, but like just an album. Paris is burning for a person that has gone RuPaul's Drag Race. Exactly. It was just one of those things where it greatly affected my, then he was a dick, but now that we're talking about it, and I've watched him ad nauseam talk about drug writing, and I love it. And I love to watch it. He'll like a word because it sounds funny. He's like... He's right. He's so right. Have you ever explained the movie comedian to someone who's never seen it? No. I just did this like a couple weeks ago with my girlfriend. I was like, oh, there was this movie comedian where they watch Seinfeld like, come back to

15:32stand up and they profile another comedian. The more I explain that, I'm like, that is crazy that that movie existed. Like... Just... Can they... What would you... Like the fact that... There was a pretty big deal because Seinfeld did call his last HBO special. I'm telling you for the last time, there was a great promo where there was a funeral and other comics were there and they're going like, you can use it. Can I use that? Yeah. And he basically told the world, I've been doing this act forever. I'm done. I'm doing stand up. This is it. And then the show ended. And so what was crazy is he was like, I'm not done doing stand up. And so that's the whole point of the documentary. Right. Was he was coming... How does a legendary start? Would you have done it if they asked you to be the Ornianna? No. That's the crazy part to explain to someone. But I always want to talk about it because you go, and then there's this other young comic that they're just like following along. And he put himself, listen, I can't fault him for doing it because at the time there were no avenues and it did make him famous but it made him famous in a wrong way.

16:34And I also think people got, I've seen already Adams fucking murder. No, he does murder and kill in a way that you're like, damn, we were in Montreal. I was on a show with him and I was like, fuck. I actually think there's there should be more empathy for him. And he said some lines that are off. He said some crazy stuff but it's pre internet commenter, pre cameras on everything, like pre knowing about editing and how you're going to be portrayed. We are so like the way I'm not saying he shouldn't, you know, again, he gets outed as not looking great. No. I also watch the documentary and then once you're done watching them documentary, watch it with director's commentary with Colin and Jerry Seinfeld. Is it? It's a whole different movie. Oh, I got to watch. I've never seen that. Colin's drinking diet coke's talking shit. It's so funny. It's Colin, Colin and Jerry watching the movie. Yeah, I would love to see that because I think about it. Now you're like, man, listen, if you're worried about your health, understandable, if you're

You know you just gotta make sure you say all that stuff. That's like and cut. Yeah, but that's like my that's like I'll new long dip that I have. But it's it's it's I that's the part where I'm back. But that's the part where I was like telling her about this movie and how like he said all these he just didn't look great and then you go and in hindsight, what's interesting about this is you can tell he was fucked with it editing. There was just say it's just not again, they knew what they had there in wrestling. They call it protecting someone. So when you're in the ring with someone, they say the biggest thing is you're protecting your opponent. So when he lands, you're going to try to grab the back of his head so it doesn't hit the ground. Right. So their neck doesn't he was unprotected. Oh my god. They fucking dropped them right on his head multiple times.

21:47It's and like I there's every reality show, you know, the people. There's an edit. There's a villain at it. Right. There's the hero at it. They can edit you in different ways. Right. But there was some stuff that he just like watch the documentary. There's stuff he says that you're like there's no. You don't have to do that. And also the for me, not talking about Ornie Adams, that made me love Colin Quinn. That was the beginning of me going like I fuck with this guy because I liked him on weekend update. And I always liked him when he popped up and stuff but then that. And then I tough crowd tough crowd came out right as comedian was coming out. Yeah. And I was like this is my and also useless no. And so I was like this is my guy. He's always just been like the article of the hang like he is the he is the. He is the consummate. He is the comedian. Yeah. Colin is a comedian. I open for him once at a temple. I think I got pulled in. He got booked at the temple. They're like we need you know, I need a Jew and I drove down drove back with him and

22:48is I think his his girlfriend is wife now at the time is girlfriend. And he was just so cool about the whole thing like he's just so he is in the comfortable spot that I think we all like I don't think comedians really like we just want to do our shows and do like make a living and if you're in New York City, you can go watch him every Monday night at the fat black pussycat and he runs an hour and every time I watch him there's like three or a pimple and I talk about it all the time. There's three or four bits where I go. It's fucking unbelievable. Right. There's no way I would have written that. One of my most cherished experiences of comedy was the first time I got to open for Colin and he knows I'm like a comedy nerd. And we get into the car. It was Rebecca Trent's van and you're driving up to Binghamton, New York and we get in the car and he goes first two hours and a one new comedy questions. There I go. It's fair. And we're like in the car for like three and a half hours. Hour three, I remember he had a legal pad because he was working on his shit and he throws it on the dashboard. He goes, all right, what do you got? That's so.

23:49And I go, you started in 1984 with Chris Rock and out of Sanlar and he goes, yeah. And I go, is it crazy you did SNL after they left and he goes, yeah, it was a little weird. It was like a job where my friends worked at that I was working at. And like I like, I was asking him like, who's the best comic that showed up fully formed? Who's like the best comic when they showed up? You're like, that guy's amazing. He's like Greg Duraldo. And he goes, he was a lawyer. So he was already good at doing bits. Right. I just got to ask him and then at one point Colin goes, you know what's wrong with your generation? You guys know everything. He goes, it's better not to know everything. No, I, it's better to experience it. And when he said that, I was like, great. Now, Michael Myers wrote the role of Scott Evil for you. And he's like, yeah, I turned it, you know, I was working on my own thing. You were already doing a podcast. You were doing like the, I've seen the Scott Evil thing go viral already, you know? Oh, yeah. I mean, it's just, I was like, because I think he's like a, when you're, it's comics, it's, you know, the similar to wrestling, it's similar to bands where you have a guy and you go, this is my guy.

24:49I like this guy. I want this guy to do well. As his career goes on, you know, for comedy, it's Colin Quinn, for music, it's Queen of the Stone Age, for wrestling is fucking a Shelton Benjamin. Or you know what I mean? Like, like, I got to be like, I love this guy. I want this guy to do great. No, I, there's been, there's a few comics that I've seen where I'm like, you know, I, I, I do want like a normal life. Sure. That is also a comedian's life. We're the same. We're the same. Right. You get into this shit and you go after a while, you go, I just want this to be a job that I love. Right. And that's like the, the bolder up a mountain of it all, you know, you're like, and it's Colin's demeanor. Colin's way about him at the seller. Like I like love that. I love that it's like him coming in. Sometimes it's you know, he, it feels like he's like playing a little golf. Yeah. You know, like, whacking it around for 18 holes. That's how it feels like when you see him and you get clean shots for you. Whoa. Oh, this guy I can play. Yeah. That's off the tee. Right. Nothing was screaming off the tee.

25:49Oh, God. And so did your girlfriend watch comedian? No, I got to show it to her. That's so we're going to end up watching it together. Wow. Because I, but she's been, you know, she, she really is like the most supportive person I've ever had in my life with this. Like, my parents never encourage me creatively. Really? My parents were very encouraging me as supportive. They're supportive. My parents are like, you're a good businessman and you're really fooling people with this whole funny thing. Really? That's like my parents. My dad. Do they think your brother's funny with you? They don't think of funny, not funny. Like everyone in my family was a character, the funny angle of it. My dad, I remember I started doing comedy. My dad goes, you don't even look funny. That's funny. That's what the funny thing was saying. Like he is like every one of my life. My grandmother, my mom, my dad, like my aunts, my uncles, everyone. I think that's like also like why you have like so many comedians from Boston. Like everyone in Boston is just a character and punchy.

26:53The only city that comes close to the natural humor of Boston is Philadelphia. Philadelphia and Boston are the two and also their mean cities. Yes. And that's where it is. It's like New York. I would say New York is up there. I would say the three friends. We're all New York. You don't mean it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Long and queen. Right. Not Manhattan. Not Manhattan. Two trans. Brooklyn, going Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island. Right. They were counting that as New York. Right. I put them as third. Okay. They fill his second. Because you can get a drunk lady from fucking West Philly in a robe smoking a cigarette going like, hey, look at you fucking fed ass. This guy's fucking running down. You can't even fucking run. Runs like a fucking girl. And you're like hilarious. Sure. Boston is. Boston. I said, my mother-in-law, Katie's mom, just hilarious. I said this on, I was on a podcast on Meena Kimes podcast. Shut up Meena Kimes. Go for the diners. She's great. She's a C-Hawks fan. And she does games with her amps. Go for the diners. Go for the diners. But she knows ball.

27:53She knows ball. She was great. But she also talks love Island. Or not love Island. Love is blind. Oh, okay. And love is blind is a world that I put my toe into. And she's like the Boston season's coming up. And she's like, what is your, you gotta watch the Boston season. Because again, this is why Boston filly, like these towns with person, there's a personality there that you're like, I'm tuning in for whatever Boston love is blind gives me. Can I tell you what it is? I think it is a majority of a population that has been stepped on most of their lives in a way. They've been kicked, punched, and had their hair pulled in a way. Shuffling snow. That's what it is. What it is. It's shoveling snow. It's having ice. Like New York winters are not as harsh. Boston winters are just way more harsh with a city. I'm putting a fourth city in contention. Okay. Chicago. Yeah, Chicago's there. Chicago has funny, Chicago. I think, and I said this to me, and I think this is the difference.

28:56I think Boston is like filly with charm. Like there, and she was like, what do you think is going to happen from the Boston love is blind season? I said, there's going to be someone you hate, but you would still like kind of fall in love with. Because he has an accent. Do you know how many guys I have met that go away to school and their nickname is Boston? Yeah. Because they gave it to themselves or so and gave it to them because they had like a half an accent. Every college had the kid Boston. And I always hated that guy because I'm Boston without an accent. So I'm like, yeah. One of the greatest experiences in my life. Yeah. A reason that made me fall in love with Katie. Even more than I already am. We go to our high school reunion and we're meeting some of our old friends from high school. Sure. And it's one guy's really nice. He's super nice. And he's like, hey, and I could tell their old friends or whatever. And he's like, how are you? And I'm like, hey, man. So he's like, wow, you know, I live in Boston. I live down by the pack. And then Katie goes, accents new, huh?

29:59Like that. Oh my God. He goes, I have fuck. So I live by the park. And I was like, oh, you're gonna be the last one. Yeah, that was a good thing. It is the greatest offense of a suburban guy from the Boston area. And I know all these people call out. We had none of that. We have that in spades. We have a sense. And I remember becoming friends, my first foray into the Massachusetts lifestyle or knowing people from Massachusetts is Joe list. It was Joe list. I am a proctor and Dan Boulder. Those are the guys that hung out with them when they moved to New York. And the thing they would always bring out is guys from Massachusetts that moved to LA. And all of a sudden they're like wearing a fucking Boston hat all the time. They're like, scally cat. They're like fucking cake. You have no clue how it was when I was growing up in Worcester. Growing up in Newton, Massachusetts was so difficult. Yeah, no. Katie, it's annoying. Katie and her brother don't have accent. Right. I don't know either.

30:59My brother doesn't. My dad has one, but it's not not thick to me. So what's funny is I think is that is a, I think that is a millennial thing. Maybe we're wrong, but the boomers that I'm around from Boston, all don't know they have accent. Well, they they're not aware. Boomers are confident and unaware. It's a great combo. It's weird. It's that is the most accurate. That's right. I never heard of it. And I wish I had it, but that's the thing. We are all millennials. We're in touch with the movie version of our lives. You're, you know, we all want to be the mighty ducks. That's why you self victimize. You don't want to be the hawks. So you want to be the ducks. You want to be the punch up. We are brutally aware of that in a way that a boomer, a boomer would never create a boss in accent to create a character that they wanted to be. I don't talk like that. No, why would I do that? What would that say about me? And you go, no, people are doing it. That's a thing. My parents don't even understand that grift. Really? My parents don't like that. Why would someone think of boss in the city?

32:00Because of that accent. Right. Why would anyone even from boss? Because it makes a guy look hotter and more approachable and he can be someone else's personality. They'd be like, what do you mean hotter and more appropriate? They wouldn't even understand the grift. Do you see old videos of yourself and hear it at all? And hear it? The accent? No, I never had it. I had, I did one word. You saw people, some people had it. When you go home, you do hear it and start a little bit of a draw. I'm sure Katie doesn't know. I'm sure Katie doesn't know. She's an old video of her where I was like, there's a couple words I was like, yo, don't act like you didn't have one. Well, it's also because you had a little bit of one. If you stay beyond 18, I left at 18. So like no accent and then move away. I have a block. Now it's gone. I'm like, I'm news, I could be a newscaster with this accent. All I had was rum. Instead of rum, I say the bedroom. Oh, the bedroom. Or a jarara. The jar. I can't do it.

33:00It makes me furious. Rum and drawer. No, I would say rum. It's over in the jarara. It's a drawer. Right. It's the fucking drawer. But DJ, when you get him back in Philly, starts going, oh, you want to get a haggie? Like he starts like, oh, yeah, the water. That can happen. But it's not. It was funny. It was one time we went to like, we were down, we went down to Philly for something else with Jay. We were at his parents house. He got his mom's house and South Jersey. And he was like, hey, these haggies and I go, these haggies. What is that? I'm not proud. But it is. It's him just going home. It's just going home. There's a little bit, but it's not. I love that Katie called him out because we were also one of the things that I love about her. She didn't such a sweet way. She was like, dickhead about it. She just goes straight. That's insane. Yeah, it's a shit talk. It's like, look at what you're doing, dude. And that's what I like about Boston. Yes. That's what I like about Philly. That's what I like about Chicago. A shit talk. It's like a hard problem I had with my family from San Francisco because they were very passive aggressive because San Francisco is a city where they go like, oh, you're going

34:02to sit there? That's okay. And we know that. The friend was going to sit there and then you go, do you know what I mean to sit here, just fucking say it or not. You know that from performing there. When we perform in San Francisco, I remember opening from Michelle and I'm opening for I did what 100 days with Michelle. And it was my first time being in I was in front of Michelle's audience post. Democratic. I mean the White House correspondent. White House correspondent. So it was almost amazing of Michelle. That's how good a comic she is. She's like, okay, I did the like most left leaning thing made front of the president or did the White House correspondent. I'm going to bring a able bodied white guy who looks like he stuck you in a closet. You know, like in 2018, 2019. That's yeah. Whether that's progressive, right? I can show. I got my devoted for trumpet is first fucking perv. Right. What is this? What is this? I need a gay amputee.

35:04Total black gay amputee. And Michelle was like, I did think, I think she might have said this. I don't want to put words in her mouth, but she was like, I need you to like get rid of the people that I kind of don't want to perform for anymore. Shout out. That's I mean like pruning your audience is the thing that people do not understand. And I write because you just want because then you'll get people to just want something else. Right. They're there for the thing that got you, you know, they saw a video once. They're not in on what you do, you know, and I have billions fans. I'm sure right. There are fans of mine that the coolest ones were they got into me because of billions. Then they got into the bonfire and now they're in the world. No, no, no, you want that. Right. That's the that's the win. That's the best case. Right. There's a bad side. What you're getting a lot of the times is, oh, the guy from billions. Oh, I'm going to go scream billions at him. Dude, we all have it. Oh, I'm going to go, yeah, I yelled at the bachelor. Oh, yeah. I had, you know, I had bachelor fans talk about the bachelor and I had a bachelor bit that

36:05I liked. So I would do it and I go, we've done it. And some people they were just there for that, which I'm a wrestler. That's okay. I love wrestling. I go on wrestling podcasts and they go like, and I still this day, you guys going, you didn't do macho man. You go, I would hang myself if I was going on stage doing a bit as macho man. Right. And I know people go, I'd like to see that. That's fine. I would genuinely myself if that was where that's not what this is. I'm sorry. I like doing it on podcasts. It's the thing that I did it for friends. It's a good fun impression. It's a great bit. It's a great like when you do it as like macho man doing something. Listen, it's great. Right. It's a great podcast. But by the way, there are people that I go like, they'll go like, and I go, I still on podcasts and they go totally. No, no, no. And there are people that just get it and they go more people get it than don't. But the people that don't you go, they're loudly not getting it. Right. I got to bite my tongue. Right. And I have to be appreciative. And I remember when I opened from Michelle in San Francisco, I had like the hardest time because this is now the most like left leaning chair.

37:09But then I'm like looking at get rid of them. And I remember I get like, I'm like, not doing great. And I go, and I'm Jewish and I could feel like a collective sigh from the room. And he's not repressor. Right. And I go, oh, did I did my people's brother enough for you? And I made fun of them. And I was like, did it, and I go, okay, to tell my jokes now about dating. And a lot of those audiences. And this is just as someone who had family. Also my family from there was conservative. Like grandma was a Republican. My dad fucking, you know, it's always funny when there's like a shitty person who's conservative because you immediately go like, you're audiology, you just now call like, but everyone assumes everyone from the Bay Area is very liberal and like cut your cock off if you're a man. No, I hate it. And you go, what's interesting about a lot of those people? And this is what's interesting because you're from the East Coast Boston is like years of, you know what reminds me of a skillet that's just been used over and over and it's got

38:10flavor. I'm from Colorado and my family's from San Francisco. So I spent a lot of time with my grandma and my dad out there. Yeah. Both transplant cities. Mm-hmm. Very heavy transplant cities. So what you get is you get these people that moved to the city and almost do what we're talking about about how you moved to college and all of a sudden you're from Boston. Right. It's the reverse of that where they moved to Denver and they go, I'm so Colorado. I still get that all the time. Right. A guy in a zip up fleece that goes, I go to ORII every weekend. I can't imagine not going to Breckenridge and just like ripping fresh palpau and you go where you from and you go, I grew up in Tampa Bay, Florida. Right. And you go, yeah, okay, cool. The cause playing. But also in Denver. Yeah. I don't care. That's cool. Go be there. Sure. Be Colorado. But the thing that bug me was, they're trying to out-collarado me. So they're going like, oh, you grew up here. I could never leave. And you go, well, I did. But I live in New York and I like living there. But I also don't move here and go like, well, down on the ring, we had a pretty tough

39:12damn. What? Nor do I move here and go, I'm a New Yorker. It's like, you're not a New Yorker. No, I'm Colorado. I don't have lived here for over the years. I'm okay with. Whatever. No, it happens a lot. But San Francisco, the reason I bring all this up is, get a lot of people that are these tight audience members and who act like they're all liberal and shit. A lot of them move there to work in tech. No. They're not going to give you money and they're kicking out the actual people that lived in San Francisco. So they got to move to fucking sac romeo or live in fucking, can't even live in the East Bay anymore. And they're going like, no, and it's like, you're going to live in for me. You're going to live in for it. You're a fucking liberal blew here. Right. And while not even believing in it, you're just trying to put on an act. You just want someone to feel bad. Right. You watched milk and now you have a new person out. My mom was in the building when he got killed. So you don't see me going around and going like, my mom was, but she was, isn't that crazy? That's crazy. Like she was literally like in the building, like giving forms. She was working at a lot. She was like, what's the level below lawyer where they like you all the work for the

40:16paralegal paralegal. She was a paralegal for a lot from San Francisco. She was delivering paperwork. The only reason I know that job is from King of Queens. Yeah. Because she was apparently she was a paralegal. But I remember that being like that my mom was like, the milk movie was coming out. She was like, I was in the building when Harvey Milk got killed. And you're like, what the fuck? What a crazy fact to like find out later in light like that's like, right. That's that's boomers. Yeah. That's the unaware of boomers. That is like not knowing. No, such a cool story. Right. Right. You've that should have been your opening. I'm sitting here. A baby just not knowing that story. Also, I learned it when I was like, they made that movie and like it passed you that was not living in the house. No. And I was like, you're in the what? If you start in a business, jobless.

43:22Sacramento punchline, fucking rules. But everyone that goes, you're like, oh, you guys are like the older sibling of San Francisco. Like, oh, yeah, they kind of like went off and did their own thing. Yeah, just go got completely taken over by tech. I do like performing, Sam. I have a great time there. I've re-film my fucking special there. We filmed the Mill Valley. But this is back to finding your audience. You find the people that you go, you know, like what Michelle was doing. Like let me get rid of like these people that like really just don't want to get it. Don't want to have fun. Sure. And then you go. Well, they also liked Michelle because she was the only person that they felt like was sticking it to the trumpet. Right, right. By the way, she did both sides. You wrote on it? No, I didn't write on it. I, I, I, sorry, I sent you a minute. She had a fucking killer fucking. She, she, I watched her work it out and I was like, wow, like she's, I was like, who's going to have a problem with this? She's going from all sides. And then to see how it came out that anyone, I mean, she's going to watch this. But I, we were just like, I, when it came the Sarah Huckby thing, I was like, that was it.

44:26Like I was shocked. I was like, I was also mad at morning Joe because they were like Michelle Wolf's comments were inch. And it was like, oh, you don't like the fact that her joke was Joe Skarsborough morning joke was just a me too that worked out. And then it's like, that's why your butt hurt. Right. You're not both. Everyone goes, right. But she should on New York Times, she should on everybody. And that's probably why, you know, then who's going to support you? I remember her, her comics, us comics sitting there going, it was great. She made fun of everybody. And then no one listens to us, you know, that's, yeah, they go, you know, because also it's the age of clickbait. So it's like, this is what we were talking about on the ranks that I was like fascinated by. There's a whole generation of comics that just behave in a clickbait way. No, it's actually like, like, yeah, and they're like, fuck you. You're a pussy and then you're like, what did you say? They go, oh, oh, oh, I'm just getting you to a fucking doll. As a person who has touched a pussy once before, I don't think that's appropriate. Yeah. But you go, fucking, it's like, generationally, there's, it feels like we're getting more and more separated by each generation by the internet.

45:33Like they're really focusing on like each generation and dividing us. Well, yeah, we, and also we've never really had to share the room of the internet with anyone until Gen Z came along. Sure. Like, like Gen X wasn't on the internet, wasn't making list of cool. But they were like really into computers. So they were doing some high level shit. Right. Or just like exchanging information or. It was totally a Napster. It was like, send me a, send me one track of a song and then they were really doing it for convenience. So I dug that about Gen X. Yeah. They're not to them was all convenience. I mean, we were out there writing lists and telling you how hard dating is and know my God, and reasons to go to Denver on your next bachelor parties and you're like, those feed all the ship looks more and yields were getting older. Totally. Like starting you into that. And then Gen Z kind of walks in and is like, Hey, we, we want a little piece of that internet too. We got things to say. And now we have to share the room with them and like, that's why like a lot of like the fashion stuff gets like,

46:35like you hear from women a lot like, then they're bringing back this. And I'm like, well, we don't have to wear those things. You know, like, why we're older like, but it is like you're sharing a closet. Yeah, that really is what it is. I never thought about it like that, but that is really true when they're like coming in like this. And then gen alpha's like, I don't want your closet. Want my own closet. Fuck outta here. It's gonna get weirder. Like we're sitting in a spot where it's like, like I, with comedy specifically, I'm like, you know, I was the special. I'm like, I'm like, I hope someone, like I'm more, I used to be more sure it had to promote these things. Like I, it's like I used to like feel like I understood a little bit of how to get like a follower. I'm like, I never got it. I am so, I just, I'm like, I kind of have to give up on that. I kind of have to like be okay. I want to keep growing, but I'm like, I did this special. Like it's a one hour story. I'm like, I don't even know if anyone even wants that type of a special, like, because I,

47:40I think there, I think there's a lot of freedom in just making stuff for what you like in like kind of what you would want to watch, for what you would enjoy, and then just like, kind of hoping that people gravitate towards it. Because I think what I'm noticing, and again, this is just one older pot heads view of it, younger people especially are flocking to authenticity in a way that makes me happy. You're getting a good, I think you're, I see your YouTube, the comments are like, that's that the person you attract, I think. I would, I think you do attract a good, like I've, I've was on this show before, I don't look at the comments. It feels like, you know, I think the thing you have, that's really good right now, is people feel like they're holding your rookie card. That's sick. And I love that for you. Like, even though I'm like, sort of doing great, you're like making a great living, you're fine. But I do think there's people that will go to battle for you.

48:42I saw that was Shane, where it was like, because I know it as a guy with a female leaning audience, I deal with boyfriend of who goes, do you know, do you ever heard of? So I get the, have you ever heard of of the week? Oh yeah. Bro who thinks I'm never going to be on the other side of it, because I get the one where they go, so inverse. Yeah. I get the, the boyfriend with the girlfriend, he goes, I make her listen to you and she, and you know, like, I am so sorry, miss. And that, that was big on the bonfire. What I did, bonfire. There was a lot of guys doing like, duch, doesn't like listening, but I tell her like, these guys are funny and you go, I really appreciate that. But what's even cooler now in my 40s and now that I'm like reaching is going to make me want to throw up on the mic. But I'm reaching my mid 40s. I've never enjoyed doing stand up more. And also what I get now is I get couples. No dude, I think this is, I think this is how it works out. Like I'm actually getting like chills hearing this because it started as girl group with,

49:44and I listen, the people that, the women that came and have come to my shows, I love them. They're great. They, I think white women get a bad name of comedy shows because they're dragged by a dude who's bringing them to someone they don't want to see and they're just not. I can, I can absolutely agree with that. And you go, I'm not zoned in. As a guy that's been that guy before, I completely agree with that. And I get the other side of it where these women came with their friends and they came close to the bachelor and then again, this is the good version where they go, now they bring the boyfriend and now they're, it's their husband and we've been coming for years and she got me into it and I didn't even know about you because I only look at bar stool or whatever it might be. Fine. And but now I said that like anyone who opens me, they're like, it's a lot more couples. It's great. And I think it's just like, that's like the evolution. That's like, there's something about the fact that like, it makes me so happy that someone can take a Friday night and come enjoy my jokes and leave and go, we just had a great fucking time and you go, that rules. I'm so glad you did that.

50:44I sent you a picture from, I think I was in St. Louis. I was having breakfast and a guy was wearing. Katie's wearing this shirt right now. A soda t-shirt while cutting the pancakes for his two kids. Love it. And I was like, man, and I have kids. So I don't have like a lot of like, I can't really connect with that, but I am like. They're connecting with something. What I like about it is, and you know, it was something that I always wanted, but I think I was show, you know, we're older now. I think we're a little more calm down. I think we're like a little okay with how things go now. Right. When you're younger and anything you are like, I got a fucking job and you're like, I got to be the best. And then everyone's like, you sure, you're the fuck out, bro. And I think that was me until COVID. Yeah. I was so tight gripped on it just being like, I promise you I'm funny at standup. I know. And then after COVID, I was kind of like, oh, I should just go work on my standup and

51:46like, I kind of don't really need to be up in everyone's face. Right. I don't need to be like DMing people. And it's like, I stop looking at comments. And I know comics say that, but I genuinely hit a point in my life where I'm 43 years old and I don't need to get worked up. Right. Because you know what comments are? Is someone driving by and going like, nice shoes. Right. And then I go, you know, like my hands? It's like, I do understand a bad comment too on TikTok more than anything. Because like, can you imagine you're just like, having fun watching stuff you like? And then suddenly someone just says something you hate. Yeah. And you go, oh, I am like, I'm angry about that. That is a little triggering. I think the most sensitive part of this entire relationship of being a comic is, please come watch my standup. I'm not powing you. You have to. If you don't like it, by all means move forward. Right. Move on. And I can give you rex if, if, if, if like, I love comedy. Right. You didn't like mine. I could probably put you in the direction of someone that you might like. And I think that's going to be the correction of the internet needs to make.

52:48Yeah. I'm not here to tell you what you should like. I'm just here to offer you an option. This is. And if you don't like it, you don't like it. Right. And by the way, a nobody dislikes this guy more than this guy. Look at the mirror. Look at the mirror, I got you. Your brother, get in line. You think you can be mean to me? Oh, you should hear me after I eat a Chinese food dinner. I will talk badly about myself. And I think that was one of the reasons I used to go to the comment section. It was because of the self hatred. Right. And I go like, see, see. And then you go, what am I gaining off this? Now it's just come see my silly little stories. Right. And I hope you like it. I, there's two people. There's a, there's Colin Quinn where I'm like, I love watching him. And then there's the end of the Ray Romano special. I don't know if I ever said this yet. The Ray end of the Ray Romano special that was done at the seller. He and his family go have pizza after the show. And it's like the sweetest moment. And I watch that. I'm like, that's the goal that the family is like cool with it.

53:50None of them. We've seen so many comics on the road where it's like, let me talk horribly about my family. And you're like, they probably haven't heard this. And then they're like, oh, the kids, they're not even 10 anymore. They're 85. You know, like, and you're like, there was, when I started in Tucson, I was emceeing or maybe featuring for this guy. Yeah. All weekend did his joke about his two four year olds and the two twins. Right. Like this, this, this, this. And they were at the bar after the Saturday show. And I'm like, yeah, and he goes, yeah, I'm out early. I go, guy, you know, man, four years old, he goes, oh, they're 26 now. Like, oh, you go. You said that to me. Yeah. Like, what? Right. The fuck does that mean? That's why that Ray Romano said, I'm like, oh, you can do this and be a normal guy getting pizza with his family, talking shit. Oh my god, I like that bit. I didn't like that bit. You got a wife that's there happy to be there. I know he made a billion on, you know, like on a TV show, but I also think a big problem with culture in general these days is we've given up the idea of being happy through love

54:52in order to be happy through things. Right. Money, possessions, houses, clout, whatever it is, they're not, that's not real. Which real is like having someone, because you know, you talk about your girlfriend and how she's been the most supportive you've ever had about someone. I'm interested to see the moment where your parents say something that pisses her off because it happens. And by the way, there's not a better feeling than, you know, my mom and Katie get along famously. But there's been shit she said to me. We're Katie like later. She's been like, I don't like that. And you're like, right. And you just, there's this moment where you just go like, I didn't realize I've been waiting for her so that when I'm around my mom, I can go, all right, you see that shit. Right. Well, you know, it's crazy. Right. So you're going to be like, yeah, my brother will go, though, those fucking dots. Yeah. That's the call confirming your reality. Your brother was going like, yeah, dad, mom or nuts. I was by myself with this one. Yeah, I can't admit. That's, that's tough. So it's great to finally have someone to go like, that's nuts, right? That's fucking nuts.

55:52And you go, okay, now we're getting a little traction. Now we're moving. I, listen, I wanted to ask you something. Sure. I saw a story that I was like, this is a dance soda story that I actually thought of you. And I was like, I'll put it in my pocket, like I'm here for the podcast. Night pulling it out. What do you think of Taylor Sheridan? How do you feel about that guy? That's the guy that did Yellowstone. And now he has a billion dollar contract with I think. They straight Ryan Murphy. Is he straight? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I don't know. I, I, I, he's that. But you know the right Murphy guy does like, is that his name? The guy that did like the OJ show on FX and he did show on FX? Oh, I don't know him. I just know. Does this whole Ryan Murphy does this? Basically, I think there's like, you know how there's like, there's, there's two people. There's Ryan Murphy or Taylor Sheridan. They like, they're like, they're like all of Hollywood at this place. Yes. And that's what they're doing is they're finding people that are making, you know, so he, Ryan Murphy was a producer on Daly.

56:53And then he did American Horror Story. He, his new shows, the Shards. Okay. But he does like 911 911 Nashville. Okay. So he has a huge Taylor Sheridan like has written like an amount of shows. The Cario. He did both secarios. Um, see, I don't know him. See Taylor Sheridan's got some shit, dude, because he wrote Heller High Water, which is one of the best movies. Great movie. Yeah. That movie is fucking put on a real movie and it says something. He did. I heard Wind River's awesome, but he did secario. He did lie. This is Taylor Sheridan or the, okay. So he also does Yellowstone, Dutton Ranch, the Madison land man. So these are the ones that he's made his money off of. I, Heller High Water. I didn't know that was him. That, to me, puts him in a different like artist category, but I think he realized, I think he made a bunch of great shit. And then he goes, you want me to die or read out money? And that's what he's doing right now.

57:54He is totally, Yellowstone's just like covering the ball with money. Yellowstone is like if they injected the flag into your veins, were there just basically like, are you an American? Do you love it? They took a Ford truck and turned it into TV shows. So do you know that he owns a ranch and the way he directs shows? This is something I was like, so do has to know this. I don't know. He'll direct his shows from a horse. So he can you imagine? He's just doing a scene and you're like, hey lady. Sorry about that. Oh, watch out. Watch out, super dollar. Right. Watch out. Take it again. Yes. Oh, sorry about that. Yes and action. Right. Whoa. Whoa. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Mustard's trying to buck me. Disgoy backwards.

58:55Him eating an encrustable from crafty while on a horse. A PA handing it to him. Right. Can we actually get that on, can we punch in on that? He's in video village and the horse is just like eating someone's hair. Right. He's like, yeah, don't worry about her. Eating a rice crispy treat. Oh, dude, how many PA? Loaring a cowboy hat and a vest. How many PA's get kicked? I told you not to come up in the hide. I told you now. Do not surprise whiskers. I'll take a coffee with cream and sugar. And I think for thunder, she'll take some hay. See, to bring some hay for drinking and crafting. I knew you were going to love this. Oh, yeah, that's crazy. Can you imagine? I could take that seriously. I'd be like, because I love you. And that's why I caught. I just want to fucking horror. Ah! There he goes. We're waiting for Taylor. He goes, well, it can't take him that long. And he comes riding again from up here. He comes. Sorry, guys. I had to go to the bathroom real quick. Had to climb back on my horse.

59:57That's a wrap. That's ridiculous. That's crazy. So what that is, is he's just a great artist. And then he got so much money. And then he got so much money that he was just, and by the way, everybody, this is what happens to your favorite Hollywood artists. They make great stuff. They make a ton of money. That money changes everyone around them. And fortifies in a circle. And then all those people, like, just parrots. Just go, yes, yes, yes. And then that person in the middle of that circle, all they hear is yes. And then they go crazy. And then they direct on a horse. And then a guy with a great imagination is allowed to color outside the lines. Yes. Because he's going, you know, it would be great if I could just be on my horse while doing this. It's God. And someone was like, this is what? It's disgusting from him. Yeah, no one can go, did you just say you want to direct from a horse? That's crazy. Does he do it like normally or is it like once in a while? I don't know. I saw that and I was like, what a, like you have to answer to someone that's on top

1:01:03of a horse that is not a cowboy that is is playing the part of a cowboy while you're playing the part of a cowboy. Well, there's a bunch of questions I have. Number one, is he from that part of the area? That's what I don't know. Like because that's a lot of the shows. Wicked Pedia are on IMDB, Taylor Sheridan's an American actor, screenwriter, director, bo-bo-bo-bo, yeah, nothing about his personal life. Oh, he's, he's also starred in sons of anarch. Well, he was an actor. He was an actor that like, that's why. Yeah. So he was an actor and then he actually was like, had some good ideas made it and then his actor brain went full actor. Yeah, he went full artist because this is what he would do if he could do it. And not everyone should be allowed to fly. Not everyone should be allowed to go anywhere with their imagination. I feel like there's a PA that has to saddle up his horse every day. That's crazy. Where they get to set and they go like, I gotta go put the blanket in the saddle on her and-

1:02:03You know where I started? I was the horse guy for Taylor Sheridan. I got, you know what I would do? I'd fucking take Taylor Sheridan's horse out of the kettle, out of the stable every day. I'd feed it, I'd brush it. Brush it. That's a saddle on. I'd clean out its focus. That's someone's reality right now. And they're on, in their mind, they're like, I'm on the fast track, Dollywood. Yeah, and- By cleaning out the- My dentist loves Ryan Murphy. Yeah. And so she's always like, you gotta watch the shards on FX, but I read a review and it was like, it's a dog shit show. Yeah. Because Ryan Murphy's just tossing these shows out there. Similar to Taylor Sheridan where you just go, oh this is, you just vomited it up. Once you have the formula, that's kind of the bad. I mean, that's what we see on the internet is like a lot of people do a show where she was a lawyer, it was on Amazon, and they shit, that was Ryan Murphy show. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah, they said you can do anything you can make. That's exactly right, yeah, yeah. But they don't see, this is a problem with a lot of it is they do that for these two guys. Right. But then there's young people with these great ideas. Well, there's no-

1:03:04We can't make the race. We got to my Taylor a new horse. Right. Well, this is like the, this is like wealth inequality like shows up in your, your art kind of thing because- Oh yeah. Now you have two guys who are like, give it all the money and then they're like, we just have no money, you know, like we just maybe- People go, what do I do in this business? I go, I say eight years trying to get a tape for late night. And now I don't care about late night. Right. No, no. Now I want to go, do you want to go on Fallon? I go, he's corny. And his audience is corny. And what I feel is when I make something I really like that I made and I just put it out and I go, oh, and then weird enough it does well. Like it gets the reaction- That motherfucker proved it for me with you. Yeah. Because HBO turned me down. HBO told me they only wanted comics that have a message. I heard a story and I was like, my special is a story. It's literally a story. That's what they said. Well, they wanted a comic with a message of story. And I was like, I have a, so- And then they were like, they're gonna love, oh, not, you know, it's like-

1:04:07So, and then we fucking make this or whatever. And then they go, well, hold on. We didn't get to see, but we did it on YouTube and it was like, oh, the people like it. Right. They just want to get stand up. Right. They're out. Good stand. I mean, that's what you don't listen. I was, I was happy to come on here because I'm like, I know people are watching this and I'm gonna go, oh, they're gonna give it 10 minutes. Give it 10 minutes. If you give it 10, you're gonna get to the end. Like I- Some of you will love it. Yeah. I think- Some of you will absolutely love it. Yeah. And you'll go like, oh, it's fucking great. I really enjoyed it. Right. Hey, I hope you fuck with me. That's all I can say. It's just going like- Right. I got to hope you fuck with me. I'ma keep trying. With all the dirt, dirt, dirt, runs. We're like, yeah, we're all just storefronts. We're all just fucking restaurants. Right. And it's like, yeah, dude, I, you know, I don't need to be a Michelin star anymore. I just kind of like making the stuff I like making. And if people, enough people come, I can get my horse sit on it. Here's the funny thing. If I ever got to that point, I would leave. Leave what? Business. I would run a life.

1:05:08Well, if I got that much money, you wouldn't see me. Right. I'm only doing, I do this podcast, which is great, because I'm not with one person. Sure. For once a week, I hang out with a person that I get a choose, which is really fun. And zone in, convoc, catch up before, catch up during. Literally, we're going to do this after you leave. We're going to eat lunch. And I'll probably play a game of college football right on this couch on that TV. Great life. Love it. And then I do the regs twice a month. And then I just tour like a motherfucker. There it is. And it's awesome. But what I don't do is I'm not like begging, you know, and I'm not like, oh, can I get on this? Can I get? Because I did that so long. Right. It's not worth it anymore. I've hit my limit with that. I mean, I'm like, what a comfortable place to be. No, it is. That's what I recommend to young comedy. Get really fucking good at this. So you can get the people that you want to come see you. Because they're one of the coolest compliments I ever get in comedy is when a comic I love, like Sean Murphy or Anthony Moore or Brendan Sagalo.

1:06:09And we go on the road and they get off stage and they go, I love your crowds. Dude, this is something I say all the time. And I say, I generally have women open for me. And the women, they're like, you could tell they're like looking for those types of women to come to their shows. Great. And it's a comment I never thought I would care about. I love it. The clubs even too. People just getting off stage and they go, oh, clubs. I was just in Spokane and they were like, your crowds are. Your crowds are fun. The gray, they're cool. And I think I do think this all relates. Like I think like, care about stand up. You end up getting a great crowd. You care about. There are tough spots. Listen, I had a woman yell at me that Joe Koi was her cousin and she was going to tell Joe Koi how horrible I was in Jacksonville. I was like, I'm going to tell him for you. I'm going to make this into a video. And we're going to send this to him and show. Yeah, I have it. I'm like, it is brother. Call her bluff. She was so close. Joe Koi sees his cousin in a comedy show yelling at you.

1:07:13If one of my cousins was in a comedy show yelling, the fucking brow beating they would get the fuck out of it. I don't know. Next time get where I go, don't ever fucking mention you're related to the riff. The riff I had, I was like, she was like, I'm telling Joseph. And I said about, I'm in Jacksonville at the comedy zone. Yeah. You've been there. I haven't been there. Have you been there? No. 30 people behind a steak and shake. Like it is. It is. It looks like you got it. It looks like a roadhouse. It's like sunken in. It looks like a bar from the 80s. I looked at it. I was like, I love this. But like 30 people and she's like, I'm telling Joseph, I go, what's he going to take away from me? Yeah. That's so funny. That was like, this is what he's going to take away. I've been a great time. What an end. And it was all because I did a bit of saying how I want my body goals or that of an older Asian man. Correct. Because I was like, they all look like they fit well on a t-shirt. Like they seem like they don't work out that hard. Like, so I do this bit.

1:08:14She's like, well, you said about Asians. I was like, that I want their body. Like I was like, oh, she worked with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You totally have gone and it turned into this whole thing and she's like, I'm telling Joseph. Prudem. Prudem. You're out. You're fucking gone. Check out Jared's special on Netflix right now. Please. Go watch it. And then listen to his podcast. Listen to anything he does. Jared Fried fucking rules. Appreciate it. Tots of praise. Thanks for coming, my buddy. Dude, this is a blast. Thank you. It was a man. It was a blast.
