  SPEAKER_00: I didn't pay my way tonight.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: I got in for free.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but you didn't have a limo service pick you up for nothing.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_02: That is true.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_02: I had to drive down myself.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_02: So there you are.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: So it wasn't completely free and you didn't ride for free.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: You got in for free.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_02: I did get in for free.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: So there you are.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: So you did not ride for free?
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_02: Nope.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: I rode a chair in the back of the club for free.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: Well, very good.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we're back here on the Classic Metal Show.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: Chris, just making it in time for the show.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: He was out seeing his good friend Jim Florentine at a matinee comedy show on a Saturday night.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: I was.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_02: It was the oddest thing.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_02: He...
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: I was 100% going to go to see him on Thursday.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: He played at the Winchester and wherever that is, Lakewood, I guess.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's south that way.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_02: On Thursday.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_02: And I had him scheduled to do the Seth show and Seth's other show, the Jake show, on Wednesday.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_02: And then we were going to go and hang out on Thursday.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_02: Well, he hit me up on like Monday and he was like, Hey, I'm doing this show out at the Killbox.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's an early show.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_02: Would you rather come to that?
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, yeah, I'd rather come to that.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_02: Nothing against the Winchester, but it's just not the right room for me to see comedy.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: I like a smaller room.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, so we went...
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_02: Myself and Seth and his wife went down there today for a six o'clock show.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: It's funny as fuck.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: Nice.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: And then you were able to get on back to do
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: the show.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_02: I did.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: The show ended at about 7.45, hung out with Jim for about 15 minutes, just shooting the shit.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: And then I was like, bro, I got to go.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: And I got the fuck out of there so that I could make it back in time for this.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: Right, of course.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm going to tell you in advance,
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: you are going to get angry aching times 100 tonight because I'm already sleepy.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: Didn't get much rest at all.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: No nap today.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: You went out,
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: you did your work during the day,
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: went out to the show, and then you're back for this show.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_02: And that was on bad sleep last night, too.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: So, yeah, not...
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_02: Not good.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_02: So around two o'clock,
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_02: you're either going to get me being, well, fuck him and fuck him and fuck him.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: Or you're going to get, mm-hmm.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: That's right, Neely.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Can we wrap this up pretty quick here?
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: It's 2.15.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_02: Is that enough?
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: I'm kind of feeling it here.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: I kind of got to call it a night.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: I think we're done here.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I get you.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you also said that Jim Florentine may be following you.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: He may be.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_02: I sent him the link a couple minutes ago.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_02: I asked him at the thing.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_02: I said, do you want to come on?
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_02: And he was like, well, what time?
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_02: I need to do it early because I got a very early flight in the morning back.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_02: And then I'll let him tell that story.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_02: But he has an early flight back to Jersey in the morning.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_02: So he doesn't want to be up until 2 in the morning doing our bullshit.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: But he said that he will come on right around 10 o'clock.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_02: That's
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: all right.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_02: That'll be good.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that'll work.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: We always enjoy having Jim on the show.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and we can talk to him about...
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_02: I definitely got to ask him about one particular asshole at the show tonight.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_02: There was one of those tonight, and I won't get into it now.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_02: But there was one of those that Jim actually, and I'm going to say this to him as well.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't say it when we were at the club.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to say it right to his face.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_02: Jim's reputation of just smashing people, he did not do tonight, and I don't know why.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_02: Because me sitting behind this asshole,
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_02: I wanted to find a bottle and just smash him in the face.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: This guy was a fucking cuntbag, the kind that you hate, hate, hate at a comedy show.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: And I was livid the minute this fucking dummy opened his mouth.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_02: And Jim just was like, okay then.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, come on, smash him.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: I never understand why people in an audience feel that they can talk to the comedian
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: unless the comedian addresses them first or something.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: They got to yell shit out,
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: and it's like,
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: do you go to a theater production and yell,
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: go to Shakespeare or go see Phantom of the Opera and go see, yo, Phantom dude!
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: I saw you on
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: TV!
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: Woo!
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, does that ever happen?
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: Why do people think they can do that at a comedy club?
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: I don't get it.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's just like unless the comedian is doing crowd work
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: and like addresses you personally,
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_00: why do you feel that you could just like randomly start shouting shit out?
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_02: And as an addendum to what you just said there,
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: even if the comedian does address you, keep it short.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_02: Mm hmm.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_02: When he's like, hey, are you guys married?
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_02: He's not looking for you to say, you know what?
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_02: We met in 1994 and then we dated for three years.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_02: Then we finally tied the knot on October 14th of 1997.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: He's not looking for that.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: He's looking for you to say, yeah.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we're married.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_02: That's it.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_02: That's all you need to say.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_02: And then let him tell his joke.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_02: Because let me pull the curtain back on comedy as I know it.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: Those are what are known as tropes.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_02: Those are tropes or those are segues.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_02: Pick your word.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_02: They are segues to get to somewhere else.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: They are segues to lead to the next set of jokes.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_02: That's all they're for.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_02: They don't really want to talk to you.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_02: They don't give a flying fuck if you've been married or you're not,
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_02: or if you're from the area,
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_02: or if you saw them on TV, or any of the questions that they ask.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_02: Just give a polite answer so that he can move on to the joke.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: And when you hear this story about this fucking guy tonight.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, boy.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you know,
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: I have a definite appreciation for people,
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: for comedians who are, you know, just they do crowd work masterfully.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: Big Jay Oakerson is probably one.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: He is definitely the best crowdwork comedian I've ever seen.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: Another guy that's a great crowdwork comedian, have you ever seen Todd Berry?
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_02: I have not, no.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: Todd Berry's funny as fuck, man.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: He's just a very dry sense of humor guy, but he's really funny, though.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: He'll slip one in on you,
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: and you don't even realize what he just said to you until a couple of seconds go by.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: You know, but he's really good.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I like the crowd work.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: I like crowd work too.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: The ones who are really good at it.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, not the ones that get shook or lead to something that they've practiced.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_02: You know, the ones that really just riff.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_02: Like Florentine tonight at one point was really just riffing.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_02: There was a white dude in there with his black girlfriend, which, as you know, is uncommon.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_02: And man, he was just riffing with those two.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_02: And that was funny.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: And that was okay.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_02: And they were back and forth in a little bit.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_02: But this guy at least knew enough to keep it short.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: You know, he kept it short.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_02: And that's good.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_02: He didn't tell his story when Jim asked him.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: Jim asked him, oh, you know, how long have you been with her?
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, the topic came up of who pays for what between those two.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: And to this guy and this girl's credit, neither one of them decided to tell a story.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_02: They were just like, yeah, I pay for everything.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: She doesn't pay for anything.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_02: And they left it short so that Jim could be funny.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_02: And that ruled.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: So good night tonight.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_02: It was really fun.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_02: It was really a lot
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: of fun.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: But we're able to get out before the show.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: Look at me.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Three times in a week.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, look at that.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: What the fuck?
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: Who is this guy?
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: So are you finding it easier to leave the house or is it still a struggle?
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_02: Still.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: What is the initial struggle with you?
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: Is it the,
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: I got to drive 15 minutes or is it,
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: I got to get ready to leave or I got responsibilities here?
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: I'm being left undone or
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_02: what is it?
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was more of that today.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_02: It wasn't that I didn't want, you know, Jim's, I know I'm going to get beat up for it.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry, chat room, but Jim has become a friend, like a legitimate friend.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: Name dropper.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_02: I am.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'm name dropping all over the place.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_02: But Jim has become a friend that I trade not just show bullshit with.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_02: We talk about football and we talk about stuff.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: And he's become an actual friend.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_02: So there was no question that I was going to go.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't have that how can I get out of this thought in my head that I do get a lot of the time.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_02: But I definitely, definitely, definitely had that thought of, man, I got to stop working now.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, it got to be, I got up a little, like I said, I didn't sleep for shit.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_02: I fell asleep last night about 5.30 in the morning and I got up at like 9.30.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_02: So I didn't sleep for shit.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: Then I'm late to doing all the bullshit that I have to do to get the show ready
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_02: and stuff because I knew I wasn't going to be here at eight o'clock to do it.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_02: So I had to do it ahead of time.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_02: So by the time I did all that bullshit,
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_02: it got to be like three o'clock and I still hadn't even taken a shower yet.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_02: So now I'm,
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm jumping through the water trying to get, you know, get a quick shower in.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_02: By the time I get a shower in and get dressed and everything else, it's fucking four o'clock.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_02: I got to leave at 4.30.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_02: My fucking chat bots are going crazy.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, you haven't answered this and you haven't answered that.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm trying to Do work and get out the door.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_02: It's that kind of a thing where I was like, man,
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_02: this would be so much easier if I just had these fucking four hours to stay home
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: and do my work.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_02: But I'm pushing.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_02: I'm pushing my ass out the door.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_02: It's just the way it has to be.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I get so.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_02: It has to be this way.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_02: So slowly but surely,
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure maybe at some point here,
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_02: six months from now, it'll probably be a little easier.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_02: You know, is what it is.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_02: I'll get there.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_02: At least I'm doing it.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_02: Whether it's comfortable or not,
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_02: I understand that the first step for me to get back into being
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_02: a human being again Is to do it.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_02: No matter what, no more excuses, no more finding reasons not to do shit.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_02: No more, there's too much work to do.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_02: I just got to do it.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what I've been,
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_02: you know, I, I,
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: I went on Monday,
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: I think it was this Monday and had my ear appointment for my, for my hearing.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_02: And again, didn't want to do it, knew it was going to suck.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_02: Did it anyway, you know?
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm getting there.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_02: It's weird.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_02: I'm shaking off the Howard Hughes off of me, I guess.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_02: Shaking it off slowly.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I was falling into that trap about probably two years ago.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: I was falling into that trap to where things that I could just easily do and get out
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: and be a little more sociable.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and,
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: and it was so easy,
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: but then I started, you know, slowly but surely making my way back out of the house.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, on,
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: I've been typically going out on Friday nights, which I hadn't done that in forever.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know,
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: a good friend of mine,
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: I talk about him on the show once in a while, his name's Russell.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: He bartends down the street here at a local restaurant.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I go down there and shoot the shit with him, you know, on a Friday.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, that seems to work out.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's pretty good.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: I get out, get home 5.30, going on 6, head out about 6.15 or so, get back home around 9, 9.30.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's just a nice evening out just to go out and shoot the shit with him.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know,

• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, nope, don't do that.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, and the thing is, and I don't know if you do this, but I do this a lot.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: I catch myself, not purposely, but I do it, loading up on work.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_02: When I have stuff coming up, I catch myself loading up on more work.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: And I caught myself this week with it.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_02: As I've talked about,
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_02: and I won't get into this all again,
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_02: but I've really sunk my teeth into using AI bots to kind of be my marketing team
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_02: and my promotional team for Pinball PA and for CMS.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_02: But I've really spent a lot of time on it.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_02: When I say I'm spending a lot of time,
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: I'm reading a lot of bullshit that Elon Musk and his team is doing,
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_02: and then I'm trying to do the same things.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm integrating ChatGPT with GrokBot and making them talk to each other so
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_02: that I can get double the work for half the price and all kinds of stuff.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_02: I'm doing different things.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm really, really invested fully into it.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're making it work for you.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_02: I am.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_02: I am.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_02: But I also see I had shit to do last week and this week.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_02: And here I come with a brand new project that I'm excited about and
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_02: that I've got my, you know, that I'm literally working on until two and three.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_02: Like last night, the reason I couldn't sleep is because I couldn't stop working.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_02: I was like going back and forth with this fucking thing.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_02: With Gary,
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_02: my marketing bot,
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like,
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going back and forth with Gary saying, you know, well, what about this?
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_02: And what if we do this?
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_02: Or we can't do this?
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: Or you got to make sure that it's not sunny outside because that's bad for us on these days.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, all this different shit.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_02: And like, I'm real into it.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_02: But I see the pattern a little more clear than maybe I used to where I'm like,
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_02: this is just you filling up so that you have valid reasons to cancel on people.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, there you go.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I'm seeing is I'm building all these things that I need to be doing.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: And the only reason I'm building them is because I got this line of things to do.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_02: You know, that don't involve sitting in front of my fucking television watching TV.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_02: And so like tonight was a major step for me.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_02: Because I actually pushed through it.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_02: I put the fucking grok down.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_02: I turned it off on my phone even.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: So it wouldn't even be bothering me at a comedy show.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_02: And I just enjoyed a comedy show.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_02: And it's those little things that are going to lead me back.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_02: You know, before long, I'll be at a quiet riot show.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_02: You just watch.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: Will you be there comparing girth with the singer?
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_02: I will be sharing Ozempic tips.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_02: Funny.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: By the way,
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: and I didn't even tell you this because I really didn't have a chance to talk
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_02: to you ahead of time, but I see it popping up a little bit in the chat room.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_02: The new logo is on the Rumble.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I mentioned it.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: I mentioned it.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I mentioned it in the chat earlier.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: I asked everybody if they have seen it.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: Did they notice it?
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_02: We went live with it.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_02: Me and you had a talk whatever day that we talked.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_02: What was that, Tuesday, I think?
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_02: And we were like, time to unfurl this thing because it's going to be 31 before we ever show 30.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_02: True.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_02: So we better show 30.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_02: It is up there.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_02: I think it looks great.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_02: Chris McCarvel did a fucking fantastic job.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: He did.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: He did.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I went through probably a half a dozen iterations
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: I found some things I went through and was looking at various logos
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: from various companies who were celebrating milestone anniversaries
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_00: and saw how they designed their logo and I found two and three different Features
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_00: that I liked and gave them to Chris McCarvel.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, try to incorporate these features into my logo and make it work.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: And he did a half a dozen different things.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: I think you sent me six.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: I did.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: I sent you different ones and asked you your thoughts on it and went back to the drawing board.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like that so much.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: Change this, add that.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: Take that out, you know, put that in, and we finally came up with what you see on the screen.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_02: And it's not 3D, you cornballs.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: It's a 30.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's a 3-0.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: 3D, man.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_02: That's the big news for January.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_02: You're going to have to wear the dumb glasses in order to watch it.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's the big change coming in January.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: Does the people think that zero is a D?
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_00: Didn't see that as a D, but okay, whatever.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: They're obsessed with big Ds.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_00: I guess.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_02: Not the titty kind.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 3-0 makes no sense.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_02: No, 3-D, that makes more sense.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: 3-D makes more sense.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_02: Way more sense to this show.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_02: 3-D, yeah.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because, you know, it says 96 to 2026.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_00: So 3-D. 3-D.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: Goofy folks.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: Well, since we're talking about the chat room, we try to bring this up during the show.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: But if you are in our rumble chat,
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_00: if you're just lurking or listening and maybe not participating,
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_00: go down there and hit that little thumbs up below the video there.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_00: It helps us out.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: It gets our algorithm out there.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: And it helps with supporting the channel.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't cost you anything.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: Just go over there and hit that thumbs up for us.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: And that's a very, very small thing we ask of you to do for us.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_02: Dude, you guys want me doing everything.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_02: Assholes.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_02: I thought this show was free.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_02: Man, you're making me click that thumbs up.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_02: What if I don't like it?
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_02: What if I want to click thumbs down?
• 22:22
  Look at him, still talking about the 3D.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_02: Can you imagine how horrible this show would be in 3D?
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: 3D?
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_02: Imagine looking at my stupid, ugly, fat face in 3D.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_02: Jesus Christ, it would be like always being attacked by a beach ball.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_02: It would be fucking terrible.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: Well, anyway,
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: um, this, this week for me really hasn't been that eventful to be honest with you.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's just, uh,
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_00: aside from just the normal fare of work and home, that's pretty much been it for me.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't had an opportunity to go out or do anything, you know, of any, any note this week.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: So, um, I got nothing for you.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't watch any documentaries of any interest.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_00: I really didn't do anything.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: Pretty much just boring week for me.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_00: Just working home has been the bill of fare.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's good.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_02: There's nothing wrong with that.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_02: That's all right.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah,
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_00: but looking forward to,
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: taking a little bit of time off here next month and got a couple shows coming up.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: Steven Piercy is coming in this area in December.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_00: Looking forward to seeing him and Eric Ferentinos.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: Going to hang with the Dockin' Boys for their last few shows of this year.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: Cool.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: So that's about all I got going on.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: And then just taking a little vacation time and
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: And then I'll be out with your area to go see Triumph.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_02: Triumph, November 20, whatever.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, you and I got a first draft of the book.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: We did.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_00: And we're slowly working through that.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: Have you read through there at all?
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_00: Have you had time?
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_00: I got not far.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_02: I read the first chapter that I think, like I read the foreword.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_02: And I read the first one that seemed like it was all you.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, it is.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's you, me, and then there's going to be a you.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and then I followed and I was reading that and I was like, okay.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's hard to read your own.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_02: Actually,
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_02: I enjoyed reading your stuff and I read my own and I was like,
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_02: God, this sounds an awful lot like fucking my military book.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the thing is, is people haven't read your military book.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's true.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_00: You know, so this will be new for them.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, this might be,
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, obviously you've written books where you're the main subject of the book.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, so some of that is going to cross over into this book.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_00: But for those of you who haven't read your book, this will be new material for them.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_02: I was happy with the fact, and again, I have not read the whole thing yet, but.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_02: I always worry,
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_02: and this is probably a dumb worry,
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_02: but I always worry that the story will change a little bit just
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_02: because your memory changes a little bit as time goes on.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_02: You know, and it's been a little bit.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: I think I wrote, and other things, what, six or eight years ago or something.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's been a while.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's been a while.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, well,
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_02: that's another decade in between where the memory gets a little bit more fuzzy.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_02: And you know me.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_02: And I know I say it all the time.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think the chat room really believes me too much.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_02: You've known me well enough to know this.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_02: I really don't remember shit past tonight.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_02: Like if you asked me tomorrow at noon to name the five things we talked
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_02: about tonight, I would not be able to do it.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_02: And we've done that on the phone before where you've been like, you know, it was really funny.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, yeah, what did we say?
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_02: Because I
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_00: don't remember.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: The time that we spend doing the show together, it just flies by so quickly.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_00: It does.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_00: And what we give you out of our mouth
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_00: is just off the cut gut reaction.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not necessarily memorable every line,
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_00: and it's just,
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_00: it's, you know, to quote Michael Butler, it's just stream of consciousness.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_02: It's two dummies at the bar, but we're not
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_00: at the bar.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's really what it is.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: It goes so quick, but yet you guys and gals who tune in, you seem to enjoy it.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_02: And those that tune in on YouTube seem to hate it, which is fun.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's okay.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_02: I like that.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_02: I like it too.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_00: I like the fact that the YouTubers
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_02: hate us.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_02: Keep on paying me, cocksuckers.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_00: But you know what?
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_00: I do watch content from other creators out there.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_00: And some of them talk about some of the things that people say.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_00: I think everybody gets hated.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_00: I don't care how good your show is or how popular you are or whatever it is.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_00: You're going to get a certain amount of hate.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_00: Of course.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, I watch this guy.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_00: He does it.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know that guy.
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and he was actually talking about, you know, his detractors today.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_00: And he said that he gets a shit ton of hate, you know.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_00: And it's just like,
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_00: and I don't really give two shits about people thinking and comments, you know.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_00: But it's interesting that people just use these commentary things just to spew their hate.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they do.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's it.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_02: And most of them are just lazy and they don't have an opinion of their own,
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_02: but it's free to throw it out there on YouTube.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_02: it's always funny to me when somebody throws a comment up there like they're ready
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_02: to fight you.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_02: It's like there was one today.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_02: Actually,
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_02: this is a rumble,
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_02: which surprised me because rumble is usually a little more not as angry, I guess.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_02: But one of our clips from the Roger Waters discussion that we
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_00: had
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_02: popped up.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_02: And the guy's quote was something like,
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_02: there's no way on no planet ever that Roger Waters isn't a more dominant performer

  SPEAKER_00: is that,
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_00: you know, a thought or an opinion like that does not come from a neutral source.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_00: It comes from somebody who is a hardcore fan of that artist.
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_00: Of that band, yeah.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_00: So in their mind, that artist can do no wrong.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_02: Right, mm-hmm.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's the same as we're getting with all the Torah hate.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_02: Doesn't matter that over the course of two hours of talking about him
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_02: over two shows, we said repeatedly, repeatedly, hope the kid succeeds.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_02: Definitely don't have anything against this kid.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_02: But because we take the hot button clips and put those up there on YouTube,
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_02: You guys talk about calling the kettle black, fatso!
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_02: It's like,
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_02: has there ever been one show where I did not acknowledge what a big fat tub
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_02: of shit I am?
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_02: Has there been one in the last 15 years since I came back to the show?
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think there's been one show where I have not acknowledged that, has there?
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think so.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_02: I always acknowledge it.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_02: I take the power away from people because that's not an insult to me.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's a truism.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_02: And I guess I can accept the truth.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_02: But my God, they just throw that out there like they're going to get me with the fat thing.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_02: What?
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_02: How dare you?
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_00: look on the locals this week, but did you post any new YouTube hate this week?
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_02: I did not.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_02: Dude, I was busy this week.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_00: I get it.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_00: I get it.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_02: I really didn't look at YouTube very much.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_02: I really didn't look at the news even until last night.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't even know what was going on in the world, the music world.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_02: I checked out for a week.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_02: I was busy with work, busy with my fucking ear thing.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_02: Had this thing tonight.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_02: It's like a lot of shit going on.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the ear thing, not good, by the way.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_02: Not good at all.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_02: Looks like two surgeries coming for me.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_02: One for sure that they're going to have to go in through my neck to get to
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_02: the fucking parts to fix.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not looking forward to that at all.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_02: But, um, yeah,
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_02: now I have, uh,
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_02: now the,
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_02: after seeing the specialist who it's never good when the specialist looks
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_02: in your ear, your nose or whatever and goes, Oh, wow.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_00: That was their words.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_02: That was the word.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_02: He looked in the left ear, which is the good ear.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_02: He goes, all right, well, we're going to flush this out a little bit.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to get it good and clean for you.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_02: You know, blah, blah, blah.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, cool.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_02: Then he comes over to the other side.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_02: He goes, wow.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, fuck.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_02: And then this is going to be gross, but I'm going to tell it anyway.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_02: So have you ever had your ears cleaned by an ENT by a specialist?
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_02: Not like a Q-tippy guy?
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_02: So they have this device.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_02: It kind of goes down your ear canal.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_02: And it's a suction device and it just sucks the stuff out of your ear.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_00: Is it like a dentist tool?
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, sort of like that.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_02: Sort of a similar tool.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_02: Sticks it in this ear.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_02: I hear.
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I hear like one or two little things that like break off or whatever.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_02: Just one or two things.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_02: Puts it in this ear.
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_02: Sounds like I stuck my head underwater.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_02: It's like.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, oh, my God.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_02: And it just kept on going and going and going.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, Jesus fucking Christ.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_00: So you got like a cavity in there that's just like just holding just holding gunk.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_02: It's the thing I talked about before.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's the hole in the thing behind the bones, whatever that's called.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_02: And it leaks.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_02: It just leaks out shit constantly.
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, it was gross as fuck when he was cleaning it out to get a good look.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_02: It literally sounded like, Jesus, I don't know.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_02: It sounded like finger banging a really wet pussy.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_02: You ever get a chick that's like really,
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_02: really wet and you like take two fingers in there and you start flipping it around
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_02: a little bit so that the meat flaps are banging against the sides of your fingers?
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_02: The meat flaps.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_02: That's what it sounds like.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, you know, it's like, ugh.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, whew.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_00: Well, did it improve the hearing in that ear after you did all that?
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_00: No, no.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_00: Not at all?
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_02: No, my next step is I have to get in the tube and they got to do a CT
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_02: and they gave me some meds because even though I didn't know it, it's infected.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm dropping drops in my ear every fucking night for trying to kill
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_02: the infection off so that they can do the surgery and on and on we go.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_02: But whatever, I'm going to do it.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_02: My mom, I talk to my mom.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_02: I sound like such a mama's boy because I always talk about talking to my mom.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_02: But I do.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_02: I talk to my mom about once a week.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_02: And I was telling her.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_02: And her first reaction was not, well, it's good that you find it out or let's get it done.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_02: Her first reaction was, you're going to follow through with this, right?
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_02: You're going to get it fixed, right?
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_02: Because she knows me.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_02: She knows full well that once I start bitching about it, it's the first step of, well, fuck it.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_02: It's good enough.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_02: I'll leave it alone.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_02: But I'm not.
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to follow through with this bitch until I get it cleaned up.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_02: That means a couple of surgeries, and that means a couple of surgeries.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_02: The worst part about it is they did tell me that I'm probably going to have
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_02: to do like three to four weeks without headphones.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_02: Without wearing any headphones, which I can do.
• 36:15
  SPEAKER_02: I can hear fine out of this one, so I could just not have this one in.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_02: But that's going to, you know, dude, that's a little funky.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_02: It just feels funky doing it that way.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like the old days of listening to your AM radio.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the one.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_02: And a little crank dial on the side to tune in your favorite station.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_00: You just have your one ear butt in.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but whatever.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_02: I got to do what I got to do.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm plowing forward with this.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_02: I started Fat Camp,
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_02: but I start the one-on-ones,
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_02: which will lead to the,
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_02: I guess,
• 36:54
  SPEAKER_02: the stomach shots or the bariatric surgery or whatever the fuck they choose to do.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_02: I have that coming up November 12th.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm going to do that as well.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_02: I am doing this shit.
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_02: I'm determined to be looking like a melted John Goodman this time next year.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_02: Good for you.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_02: And dude,
• 37:16
  SPEAKER_02: I've lost a,
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_02: you know, I hate,
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_02: I'm such a fat fuck that at the doctor they use the kilograms instead of pounds.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_00: Well, at least they don't use stone.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_00: You're 98 stone.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_02: Look, I'm surprised they don't because I'm such a fat fuck that they just don't.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_02: They do it purposely so you don't know how much you weigh.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_02: That's why they do it.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know,
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_02: so they did it to me the other day and it was,
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_02: what was it,
• 37:47
  SPEAKER_02: 202 kilos or whatever,
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_02: which translates to like 450 or some fucking humongous weight.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_02: But considering that when I started the fasting,
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_02: I was at 495, I'll take a near 50 pound loss so far.
• 38:04
  SPEAKER_02: And I see the people in the chat room saying that I do look like I've lost
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_02: a good amount of weight, which is...
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_02: Which would be flattering if I wasn't still looking at 203 kilos or whatever.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_02: That would be fantastic.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it didn't just get there overnight,
• 38:23
  SPEAKER_00: so to reverse the process, it's going to take some time.
• 38:27
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: At least you've got some professional folks working with you.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it's funny.
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_02: I was talking to Florentine about it earlier because he was doing some Ozempic jokes
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_02: on the stage tonight.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_02: And I said to him after, I said, well, I guess I'll be one of your jokes here soon enough.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_02: And he's like, oh, no, dude, I wouldn't do that.
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, no, you better do that.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_02: You better absolutely make fun of me for cheating.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_00: What drove him really nuts is to say that, yeah,
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm looking forward to being able to be in good enough shape to play pickleball.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_00: He did some pickleball humor tonight, too.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure he did.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_02: Dude, I'm going to bring this one back up, but I'll say this one now.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_02: The same douche that I can't wait to tell you all about.
• 39:13
  SPEAKER_02: At one point, he yelled out that something was delish.
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_02: I thought Florenti was going to walk off the fucking stage and beat this guy.
• 39:23
  SPEAKER_02: He was talking about something about posting pictures of your food or something on Facebook.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_02: And the guy yells out, yeah, tell him it's delish.
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, shut the fuck up.
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, do you know where you're at?
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_02: Well, keep that thought in mind.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_02: Just keep that thought in mind because that's the exact story I have
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_02: to tell once he shows up here tonight.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_00: People are just goofy, man.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_02: They're awful.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_02: They're awful.
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_02: You know, how do you not know how to behave in a club?
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_02: How do you not know that?
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_02: Is that a crazy thought?
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_02: Sit there, laugh at the jokes, enjoy it.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_02: Then leave.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_02: Buy a t-shirt on your way out.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_02: You know, the other thing, and I do want to tell this before Jim comes on.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_02: So there was some opening comic tonight, and he knew he wasn't funny.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_00: Was he a local guy or something?
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_02: I guess.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 40:32
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know him.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know this guy at all.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_02: But he was doing this in his act, and this is when you just know you're at rock bottom.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_02: He was literally continually acknowledging when jokes were bombing.
• 40:48
  SPEAKER_02: Just continually.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_02: He would tell the joke and he'd be like, oh, you didn't find that one funny either, huh?
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_00: Well, let me try this one on you.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_02: Well, let me do another one.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's like,
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_00: what did you,
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_00: did you get out, did you get the joke book out and flip through it or something?
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_00: What are you doing?
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_02: Two different times, I kid you not, two different times in his set, checked his watch.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_02: Which, you know, that's a bad sign.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_00: That's the old blog talk radio move.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I got 20 more minutes.
• 41:22
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 41:23
  SPEAKER_02: 15 more minutes.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_02: That's the whole, I know this is bombing.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_02: How much more
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_00: time do I got to put in here?
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_00: How long do I have to stand up here and embarrass myself?
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_02: How long do I got to be unfunny to get paid?
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_02: What's funny is...
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_02: So...
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know, you go to a good amount of comedy clubs.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_02: Everybody, most comics these days, they have like a catchphrase in their act.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_02: They almost all have a catchphrase now.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_02: And they almost all make a t-shirt with the catchphrase on it, right?
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I heard, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but it was...
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_00: Actually, I was listening to an old ONA when Joe DeRosa was on there.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_00: And he was talking about that.
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_00: He says, these opening comics, they got their own merch.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_00: Their own catchphrase.
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_00: Daddy don't want none, neither.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_02: But go ahead.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_02: Well, this guy had a catchphrase.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't even remember what it was.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_02: It wasn't good, whatever it was.
• 42:31
  SPEAKER_02: But the reason it wasn't good...
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_02: He told the whole joke, it was one of those big long story jokes, to set up this punchline.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_02: Not a fucking soul in the room laughed at the punchline.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_02: Not one.
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_02: I kid you not.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_02: Dead silence.
• 42:49
  SPEAKER_02: And the guy still turned around and picked up the shirt and said, got it on a shirt.
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_02: If you want to get one after the show.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_00: He was hawking as merchandise on the stage.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_02: He's like, if you found that funny, here's the shirt you can pick up.
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_02: I'll be selling them in the back.
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_02: And it was like, dude, the silent should have told you not to hawk the T-shirt.
• 43:14
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was silent.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_02: Nothing.
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_02: Nothing.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, just a big pile of nothing.
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_00: You know, if you're a successful comedian...
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_00: It takes years to get there.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it takes years of really slogging it out in the trenches.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_00: And the thing is, is some of these comedians, you know, they're fairly new to the game.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_00: And when I say fairly new, maybe two years in.
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_00: And they've got merchandise.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, nothing wrong with being enterprising or anything, but.
• 43:59
  SPEAKER_02: You've got to earn those stripes.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_00: So they're at the comedy show and they're selling their merchandise at the same rate
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_00: as the headliner.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, who wants to buy a $20 shirt from Bill Bidnotkin or whatever his name was?
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_02: Who the fuck is that?
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_02: Isn't that going to be your first question?
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_02: What is that?
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_02: If you saw this shirt and it said, you better think twice.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_02: What are you going to do?
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_02: What does that mean?
• 44:32
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it was a joke.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_02: You don't even want to wear the shirt.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 44:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, well, you wouldn't even buy the shirt to begin with.
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_02: Seth just texted
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_02: me, that guy sucked.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_02: He's not wrong.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_02: That guy was not good.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_00: So you don't know where he was from?
• 44:55
  SPEAKER_00: He wasn't local?
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think he lives here now.
• 45:02
  SPEAKER_02: And again, this is according to what he said on the stage.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_02: He used to be a sportscaster here in Ohio.
• 45:11
  SPEAKER_02: Not anywhere I saw, but then again, I never watched local news, so I don't fucking know.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_02: But he...
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_02: He then said something about he covered the Chiefs in Kansas City or something.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 45:27
  SPEAKER_02: Honestly, my eyes had glazed over like a shark going to sleep.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_02: It was just like tuning out for a minute.
• 45:37
  SPEAKER_00: How long of a set did he get?
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I don't know.
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_02: About three years.
• 45:43
  SPEAKER_02: You probably had 30.
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_02: Really?
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_02: He was the middle guy.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_02: He wasn't.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 45:49
  SPEAKER_02: The saddest part was the one guy that opened,
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_02: we know him, this guy Joe Howard, and he's really fucking funny.
• 45:58
  SPEAKER_02: He's really funny and he sort of has, A, he does not give two shits about anything.
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_02: Like he was doing racial humor and meanwhile the girl in the front was a black girl.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_02: He just doesn't care.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_02: You know, he was doing that.
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_02: Like he was just doing, going for it.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_02: And Seth and I have seen him before with Florentino.
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_02: I guess him and Jim are friends.
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they've been friends a long time.
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_02: So we, you know, we were kind of, we were hoping he was the middle.
