- 0:00SPEAKER_00: I've had three concussions in my life, and none of them because of sports.
- 0:04SPEAKER_00: Just just living life, man.
- 0:06SPEAKER_00: You know, stuff happens in your head.
- 0:08SPEAKER_00: What are you gonna do?
- 0:11SPEAKER_00: One was in high school.
- 0:12SPEAKER_00: I got pushed into a wall head first, and it took them three class periods to figure out a head of concussion.
- 0:18SPEAKER_00: That's how much I was bringing to the table.
- 0:25SPEAKER_00: My dad is a magician, he's done that my entire life.
- 0:30SPEAKER_00: He was a clown at the very beginning, just in case you're like, how do you get into something like that?
- 0:34SPEAKER_00: Uh it goes clown and magic.
- 0:38SPEAKER_00: There's two steps.
- 0:39SPEAKER_00: You can take them in either order.
- 0:46SPEAKER_00: He was I was born, he was a clown.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: It was never weird to me.
- 0:49SPEAKER_00: I thought everybody's dad was a clown.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: My uh first memory of my life is I was five years old, and I remember my mom walked me out to the front yard, and our dad, my dad pulled up with this old red Mazda.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: He he's dressed as a clown.
- 1:06SPEAKER_00: That doesn't even faze me.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: That's just how he left.
- 1:09SPEAKER_00: How else would he come home?
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: And the Easter bunny was in the passenger seat.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: That's the first thing that I remember to my life.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: If you want to know how you get into comedy, that's a pretty good nudge.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: And I remember it didn't fit, his the Easter bunny head didn't fit in the car, like he couldn't sit normal, so he had his head was bent to the side.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: And he I remember he had his seatbelt on, and he's just like, and I was like, I like to think about all the other people that saw that just in the car next to him, just at a red light.
- 1:44SPEAKER_00: You're like, I didn't even know they hung out like that.
- 1:46SPEAKER_00: Uh I do zero working out.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: Not even, I mean, I don't, it's not like you're like, whoa, wow.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: Like it's it's like, yeah, we figured that.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: Every hotel I go to, I ask if they have a gym.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: I don't even have clothes that I can work out of.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: There's no way.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: I'm like, is it 24 hours?
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: I was gonna start tonight at midnight.
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: So I was wondering if that's what I've learned, what's easier than working out is just tell people that used to weigh 300 pounds.
- 2:17SPEAKER_00: That's a lot.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: They don't know, you know.
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: So I've never weighed 300 pounds, but I look pretty amazing for a guy that used to weigh 300 pounds.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: You're like, yeah, I got tired of being tired, alright?
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: Today's my cheat day, obviously, but normally, normally I'm pretty strict.
- 2:35SPEAKER_00: So me and my buddy, we rented a car, he's driving.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: On the way out there, I see a dead horse just laid out in this guy's yard.
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: And I've never seen that before.
- 2:45SPEAKER_00: And I was like, man, I bet you don't think about that.
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: When you buy a horse, it dying.
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: You know, what do you do?
- 2:51SPEAKER_00: That's a huge thing dying in your yard.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: You can't just scoot it off into the woods with your foot and try to get another one that matches before the kids come home.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: You have to tell your wife to keep the kids away for a month.
- 3:04SPEAKER_00: You gotta Google how to move a dead horse.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: You gotta probably try to get another horse to help you do it, and that's not easy.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: That's what the blinders were invented for, because it's like just look ahead.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: Don't worry about what's going on back.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: No, look.
- 3:20SPEAKER_00: Or you gotta get your friends to help you do it, and you can't spill the beans too quick on that.
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: You think it's hard for them to help you move a couch?
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: Try a dead horse.
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: You gotta lie to them, like we're getting a divorce.
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: Just come over, bring your truck and some gloves.
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: And when they get there, let me tell you, they're gonna see it, alright?
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: Everybody saw it.
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: It was next to the road.
- 3:44SPEAKER_00: And they're gonna pull into that driveway and just be like, I don't think they're getting a divorce at all.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: I think we're here to move that dead horse, is what I think.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: I just don't eat anything healthy.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: I eat like, I like apples, but I only like pre-cut apples.
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: I don't want to eat uh, I won't eat a whole one, you know.
- 4:06SPEAKER_00: I'm not a horse, alright?
- 4:07SPEAKER_00: So could you guys do some work over there at the apple factory?
- 4:12SPEAKER_00: You know, however apples get out here.
- 4:14SPEAKER_00: Uh I've watched a lot of the documentaries that try to make you eat better.
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: Like I watched uh Fed Up, and it's just it's about all the food that I eat every day.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: There was nothing in it that I haven't had recently.
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: You know that saying, like, I haven't had that in forever?
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: I haven't said that in forever.
- 4:32SPEAKER_00: There's nothing, there's nothing I haven't had.
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: Hair heads, that's usually something like, oh, are they still doing good?
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're doing great.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: They got more colors now, it's pretty fun, you know.
- 4:43SPEAKER_00: On the way back, since my buddy was driving, he did not see the dead horse, you know, and I'm like, well, you can't not see it.
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: So it's just one road, and I was like, I'll just show you where it's at.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: So we get, we're driving, and we get to it, I was like, it's right here.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: And I pointed, and the horse was standing up doing unbelievable.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: One of the healthier horses that I've ever seen.
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: So I learned that horses lay down to sleep.
- 5:14SPEAKER_00: I did not know that.
- 5:18SPEAKER_00: I don't know what I thought before that day.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: That they locked their knees.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: That's why they have four knees.
- 5:24SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 5:25SPEAKER_00: That's what I I would have probably argued with you about it.
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: People always talk to me very easy to or dumb.
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: Like if I talk to a stranger, I can always feel it.
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: And I think it's my eyes.
- 5:35SPEAKER_00: I have big eyes, you know?
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: And so I just get a lot of like, you still will be, man.
- 5:40SPEAKER_01: And I'm just sitting there, like, yeah, man, I was I'm listening.
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: He goes, All right, I don't know, felt like you could have been anywhere, you know.
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: And our daughter, she's six now, but she was five at the time.
- 5:54SPEAKER_00: This was the her first pet.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: She was best friends with this dog, and it was the first thing that was gonna die in her lifetime.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: So it's a lot of stuff to have to explain to a kid, you know?
- 6:03SPEAKER_00: And so I was talking to my wife about like how are we gonna tell her?
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: And at first I was like, let's just act like we didn't have a dog.
- 6:11SPEAKER_00: Five-year-olds are smart, but if we stick together on this, and she comes home from school and it's like, where's the dog?
- 6:17SPEAKER_00: And we're like, what dog?
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't I've never seen a dog.
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: Don't you think I would know if there was a dog?
- 6:25SPEAKER_00: But I read an article about the long-term damage of that.
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: It's pretty good.
- 6:30SPEAKER_00: So I was just honest with her.
- 6:36SPEAKER_00: And I told her, I set her down, I said, Look, Annie's very sick and she's older, and she's gonna die soon.
- 6:41SPEAKER_00: This happens, so just love her as much as you can right now.
- 6:43SPEAKER_00: And she took it as good as a five-year-old can take it.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: So the next day I kind of told her again, you gotta tell kids over and over again.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: I kind of kept telling her, I didn't want this to be a surprise.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: And then Annie surprised us by living six months longer.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: I mean, we were way off on when we thought she was gonna die.
- 6:59SPEAKER_00: But I already started telling my daughter I didn't want to stop and then have to start it again.
- 7:03SPEAKER_00: So I just kept it up for six months.
- 7:06SPEAKER_00: Every day I was like, she'll die.
- 7:08SPEAKER_00: All right, she will die.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: She will die, I will die, your mom's dead.
- 7:16SPEAKER_00: I went into one, I was trying to buy, I go to I was trying to buy a hammock.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: So I go in, I go back to where I imagine the hammocks live, and I went up to this guy and I was like, hey man, do you guys sell hammocks?
- 7:27SPEAKER_00: And he was like, What's a hammock?
- 7:31SPEAKER_00: And it threw me off enough that I was like, Am I saying it wrong?
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: I was like, I think I'm saying it wrong, because you know what it is.
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: And I was like, is it hammock with a T?
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: Does that sound right?
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: Like, do you guys sell hammocks?
- 7:50SPEAKER_00: And he was like, We're out of hammocks, we're out of them.
- 7:55SPEAKER_00: It's hammock season.
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: And I left, went to my car, Googled where to buy a hammock, and Google was like, Do you mean hammock?
- 8:04SPEAKER_00: Uh, sure do, Google.
- 8:07SPEAKER_00: Where were you at during all of this?
- 8:10SPEAKER_00: The other embarrassing part of that is so it happened, and then I I called like a comic buddy of mine to tell him the story.
- 8:17SPEAKER_00: And I was like, this is funny, right?
- 8:18SPEAKER_00: But then I asked him, I was like, hey, do you think if I was if I tell people I was buying a hammock, is that gonna come off like I'm bragging?
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: Like, for some reason, in my head, that's just like a wealthy purchase.
- 8:29SPEAKER_00: Like, that's a hammock at Walmart.
- 8:32SPEAKER_00: Like, an audience would be like, whoa, alright, I didn't know we were just hearing about how good you're doing.
- 8:38SPEAKER_00: Um man, what's it like to have two trees that close together?
- 8:41SPEAKER_00: Is it I got a reversible jacket at home, and I have two of them because I didn't know it was reversible.
- 8:49SPEAKER_00: Bought them at the same time, tried them both on separately, like the black one, thought, might as well get the blue one too.
- 8:57SPEAKER_00: Went and laid them up there, and I remember they go, Are you sure?
- 8:59SPEAKER_00: I go, Yeah, I think I know what I'm doing here, right?
- 9:04SPEAKER_00: So I go into a Starbucks and I get to the front and I was like, uh, I'll take an iced coffee with cream.
- 9:10SPEAKER_00: She goes, with cream, I go with cream.
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: And then she goes, iced coffee with cream, I go iced coffee with cream.
- 9:14SPEAKER_00: She goes with cream, I go with cream.
- 9:16SPEAKER_00: And she said it one more time.
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: She said, so iced coffee with cream, and at that point, I should have said, What's going on right now?
- 9:27SPEAKER_00: Where are you at in your head?
- 9:29SPEAKER_00: Because I I feel like we're in two different places.
- 9:33SPEAKER_00: But I was nervous and there was people behind me, and I was like, cream or no cream.
- 9:37SPEAKER_00: Honestly, I'll give you$20 if you let me leave right now.
- 9:40SPEAKER_00: I cannot, this is the most I can talk about this.
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: I don't even know what's happening anymore.
- 9:48SPEAKER_00: So I paid, I go stand in line, you know, where you gotta wait for your drink.
- 9:52SPEAKER_00: There's like five of us waiting for our drinks.
- 9:55SPEAKER_00: So she puts the iced coffee up there first, no cream, and I was like, whatever.
- 9:59SPEAKER_00: I'll just do it myself, you know.
- 10:01SPEAKER_00: Like I don't like doing it myself, but I was like, alright, I'll just do it.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: So before I could get it, she's walked back with a can of whipped cream and she's shaking it.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: And I'm just looking at it, like thinking that's someone else's.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: I'm like, someone's getting whipped cream.
- 10:15SPEAKER_00: That's fun.
- 10:16SPEAKER_00: One of you guys are getting whipped cream.
- 10:18SPEAKER_00: And I look down and she starts spraying the whipped cream on top of my iced coffee.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: She just yells out, iced coffee whipped cream, yells it out.
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: The other four people, they turn their back, like they don't want you to accidentally think that's what they ordered.
- 10:34SPEAKER_00: And I'm just left alone, like that's what you thought I said over there?
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: You don't think I would have said iced coffee whipped whipped cream?
- 10:41SPEAKER_00: You think I'm just some nut job?
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: It's like I've got too many problems in this Starbucks, so I'm only gonna use the words that I want and no other words.
- 10:49SPEAKER_00: Iced coffee whipped cream cup.
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: And they didn't have a top for it.
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: So whipped cream, it doesn't sink and become less embarrassing.
- 10:57SPEAKER_00: It moves.
- 10:58SPEAKER_00: It's like a buoy in an ocean that everybody sees.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: And I'm just walking through the crowd like this is my favorite drink.
- 11:04SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you guys drink this at all.
- 11:05SPEAKER_00: Is anybody nobody does this?
- 11:07SPEAKER_00: I'm surprised.
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: And I walked outside and threw it away and tried again at a different Starbucks.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: The dumbest I've ever been talked to, there's uh I like to golf.
- 11:16SPEAKER_00: And so a guy was telling me there's a real golf course in North Carolina where they have llamas or the caddies.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: So if you know anything about golf, I mean you know a caddy is it usually carries your back around, it tells you how far you are from the hole, just it helps you out.
- 11:29SPEAKER_00: So this course, they have llamas.
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: So you put your golf bag on a llama and it carries your bag.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: So he told me that, and then he looks into my big dumb eyes.
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: And he goes, just so you know, llamas can't talk, though.
- 11:45SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's the question he was trying to get ahead of as he looked into my stupid eyes.
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: Like he just feels like I'm gonna say it so that guy doesn't have to say it.
- 11:56SPEAKER_00: The best wedding I've ever been to was my cousin's wedding.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: It was a real redneck affair.
- 12:02SPEAKER_00: It was right outside Louisville, Kentucky, where my parents are from.
- 12:06SPEAKER_00: And my cousin's name is Tuesday, which is a good start.
- 12:12SPEAKER_00: The invitation said Tuesday's getting married, rehearsal's Friday, wedding Saturday.
- 12:16SPEAKER_00: People were like, we gotta be there Monday for this wedding.
- 12:18SPEAKER_00: How long is this wedding?
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: It's a week.
- 12:24SPEAKER_00: We get there, I'm wearing a button-down shirt, khaki pants, nothing crazy.
- 12:28SPEAKER_00: I'm wildly overdressed.
- 12:30SPEAKER_00: I look like I work there.
- 12:32SPEAKER_00: Uh everybody else just has a football or basketball jersey on.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: My uncle, his daughters get married, he has his tuxedo jacket, pants, cumber bun, bow tie, no shirt.
- 12:46SPEAKER_00: They forgot his shirt, and instead of waiting to go get it, he was like, Let's do it without it, right?
- 12:51SPEAKER_00: Like that's and he doesn't have a body that's like, that's cool, man.
- 12:56SPEAKER_00: You know, he has a body that you're like, you're like, put your jacket on backwards, flip it around.
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: And then you see his back, and you're like, alright, go back to regular way.
- 13:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's my fault.
- 13:07SPEAKER_00: I don't how's your back worse than your front?
- 13:09SPEAKER_00: Uh we go into the church, it's bride and groom, looks like it's home and away.
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: That's how many jerseys are in there.
- 13:18SPEAKER_00: Uh guys are drinking beers in the church.
- 13:24SPEAKER_00: Like, that's something I've never heard.
- 13:26SPEAKER_00: A pastor be like, guys, could we not drink alcohol in the church?
- 13:29SPEAKER_00: And they're like, Oh, didn't know this was the nice part of town.
- 13:32SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 13:32SPEAKER_00: Uh the reception is next door, just at a lady's house, like in her backyard.
- 13:40SPEAKER_00: Like, she doesn't do it, isn't like she's like, and I do receptions all the time.
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: We were her one and only reception.
- 13:47SPEAKER_00: So we walk over, they took a horse and buggy.
- 13:49SPEAKER_00: The horse was the oldest horse I've ever seen.
- 13:52SPEAKER_00: I thought it was a donkey, I thought they got a deal on a donkey.
- 13:55SPEAKER_00: And the guy was like, this horse was in the Kentucky Derby.
- 13:58SPEAKER_00: Like, the first one that they did?
- 14:00SPEAKER_00: Is that Secretary's father?
- 14:02SPEAKER_00: How old is this horse, man?
- 14:04SPEAKER_00: You know they lay down, right?
