• 1:16
  dad. I have Jeffrey.
• 1:18
  Yes, we, I, I found you on the socials.
• 1:22
  You're funny as hell and you're here to talk about whatever the
• 1:25
  hell you want to talk about. So give us a little background
• 1:27
  of who you are and what you're all about, and we'll take it
• 1:29
  from there, my friend. She's now that you said I'm so
• 1:31
  funny. I hope my wife actually is
• 1:32
  listening so someone the I'll. 2nd that.
• 1:37
  I think you're funny as well, brother.
• 1:39
  I don't. They're always the hardest ones
• 1:42
  to make laugh, right? Maybe they're just 60 people
• 1:45
  with all the time. I guess that's right.
• 1:47
  Why? Yeah.
• 1:48
  So no, I started doing these Instagram jokes about two years
• 1:52
  back or a summer a year and a half ago.
• 1:55
  It was really simple. I just like telling stupid
• 1:57
  jokes. And a couple of friends said,
• 1:59
  actually, it's not that simple. 2016 flashback, and I'm sitting
• 2:02
  in my office in a meeting and a colleague sends me an
• 2:05
  interoffice message and the message has no text, it just has
• 2:09
  a picture. And I thought the picture was
• 2:11
  me. I really did.
• 2:13
  I thought someone photoshopped my hair, but it was me.
• 2:15
  And then it turns out it's this actor in the TV show.
• 2:17
  And I at that time had never heard of The Walking Dead.
• 2:20
  But that's the whole thing is people started saying you look
• 2:23
  like Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead.
• 2:25
  Dude, I just, I was this. I was today that that was today
• 2:28
  old when I just put those two together.
• 2:30
  I did not put that together before.
• 2:31
  Jeffrey, I've been sitting here the whole time thinking, why do
• 2:34
  I know this guy's face? I never put that together till
• 2:37
  just now. Brilliant.
• 2:39
  Yeah, well, I mean, I'd, I'd never seen the show.
• 2:42
  I hadn't heard of them, but then I thought I had.
• 2:44
  Of course I had to watch it in 2016.
• 2:47
  Now my second kid was born, my son.
• 2:48
  And as they grew older, this thing just kept once I would pop
• 2:51
  up in conversation. Eventually I watched the show.
• 2:53
  I thought it was kind of fun and entertaining and at least I look
• 2:55
  like the cool guy. At least I look like the cool
• 2:57
  guy you know in the show. Like and let.
• 2:59
  Me ask you this real quick, Jeffrey, did you instantly say,
• 3:02
  yeah, OK, I get it, you know, because you're that person who
• 3:06
  people are saying you look like this guy being that close to it.
• 3:09
  Like was the distinction right away?
• 3:12
  Yeah, OK, I see where it's coming from.
• 3:14
  Or did you have to work at it in your mind?
• 3:17
  No, I mean, I don't know what it Liz about.
• 3:19
  I don't know, Maybe there's some like thin face structure or
• 3:21
  something. But I got compared to all sorts
• 3:23
  of actors growing up, from Andrew McCarthy to Doogie Howser
• 3:26
  to. Tom Hanks and then McCarthy for.
• 3:29
  Sure. And then that was that was when
• 3:31
  I was like 18 and then maybe and then 2016, the year I met my
• 3:34
  wife and she actually maybe she was just trying to pick me up in
• 3:38
  a bar, but she actually said it was because I looked like I
• 3:41
  looked like Sherlock, which was a big show at that time.
• 3:43
  Benedict Cumberbatch. And I'd wavier then and then
• 3:47
  this Darrell Dixon came up and that was the most like there
• 3:49
  was. That one was clear to me.
• 3:52
  And especially I don't know how well people know Darrell Dixon,
• 3:54
  but more I've looked at a lot now it's more from the side
• 3:57
  angle. But yeah, no, it stuck right
• 4:00
  away. And then over those years that
• 4:02
  developed from the idea of The Walking Dead to me constantly
• 4:05
  telling stupid jokes and annoying people, The Walking
• 4:08
  Dead and dad jokes and all that. So this, this connection just
• 4:11
  burgeoned over the years. And, and the Daryl Dixon thing's
• 4:14
  been been fun. I mean, I now I would a couple
• 4:17
  years ago I was travelling out to London, other places and
• 4:20
  people come up and ask me for autographs.
• 4:21
  They think I'm in. That was my next question.
• 4:24
  And it took me, you know, for a long time I would say, oh, no,
• 4:28
  no, I just look like him. And then?
• 4:31
  My team. My teenage daughter said, well,
• 4:33
  why don't you tell everyone give you a dollar to take a picture
• 4:36
  with them? Yeah, you know, right on.
• 4:38
  I'm like, I think Norman Reed is asking for a dollar for a
• 4:41
  picture would be a bit suspicious, right?
• 4:42
  I mean, I think the guy's worth a bit more than that, right?
• 4:44
  Now, yeah, yeah. But, but anyway, so I, I've
• 4:48
  it's, it's been a fun ride, but then changing that to The
• 4:51
  Walking Dead just was a, a natural segue because I was
• 4:54
  telling super jokes. And then so I did that the
• 4:56
  summer and a half ago and I think for 10 months I had 200
• 5:01
  followers, 300. And every day I'd be excited if
• 5:04
  like if like 50 people looked at a joke or 100 like.
• 5:06
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And.
• 5:08
  Then almost exactly a year ago right now, I went through sort
• 5:12
  of traumatic life thing where I had a business that we had to
• 5:14
  shut down. It wasn't the easiest, wasn't
• 5:16
  the easiest situation of life. And I don't know if there was a
• 5:19
  coincidence or if there was like just a need for the outlet, you
• 5:22
  know, I mean, jokes and comedy. It's it's a release, right?
• 5:24
  It it's sort of yeah. It lets go in stressful times.
• 5:27
  And and I certainly can accuse, you know, my wife and I can be
• 5:30
  in the biggest fight and I'm trying to think of a joke.
• 5:32
  So maybe I don't, I don't always use it at an appropriate time,
• 5:36
  which usually doesn't diffuse the situation, to say the least.
• 5:40
  About a year ago, it took off. I'm not sure there was just
• 5:44
  maybe you have some idea how this algorithm works on it was
• 5:46
  Instagram only at that point and suddenly some joke got a little
• 5:50
  bit popular and then all of a sudden I was getting a few 100
• 5:52
  and then a couple days out over 1000 new followers a day.
• 5:56
  And I have to say, I look back and I think why were those jokes
• 6:00
  funnier than other jokes? It's not always obvious, you
• 6:03
  know, there it's not. It's really interesting and and
• 6:06
  I suspect it has to do with what time it's released, how the
• 6:09
  Instagram or Facebook algorithms catch something now they get
• 6:12
  published. But of course some jokes and
• 6:14
  some deliveries are just funnier.
• 6:16
  But, but honestly, I don't always know.
• 6:18
  I certainly can't guess. I think Chris would agree with
• 6:21
  this. We have tried.
• 6:23
  I don't think there's any way to figure it out.
• 6:25
  I'll give you a good example of the last three clips that I've
• 6:27
  released, two out of three got thousands of views and the one
• 6:32
  in the middle was hundreds, right?
• 6:33
  There's no rhyme or reason as to why I released that one that got
• 6:36
  hundreds at the same time. I would release any other week,
• 6:41
  you know, and it would do the same as the other two.
• 6:43
  It's just there's no rhyme or reason to it, I don't think.
• 6:45
  And for you, for you they were at least equal in quality, I
• 6:47
  guess, right? Yeah, absolutely.
• 6:49
  Yeah, I pretty much do every one of our shorts the same way as
• 6:52
  far as running it through the same audio, the same video, you
• 6:55
  know, trying to make it as clear and concise as possible.
• 7:00
  Now, part of the part of the reason why some of your stuff
• 7:02
  might light up, Jeffrey, if if you're doing 30 seconds or less,
• 7:06
  the attention span of the world is that of a goldfish now,
• 7:08
  right? That does help a lot.
• 7:10
  You're. Right, so, right.
• 7:11
  So the 30 seconds or less ones, they blow up quicker than the 30
• 7:15
  to 62nd ones on our on our YouTube because I do the YouTube
• 7:19
  side of it. So every day on YouTube, there's
• 7:21
  things dropping at least three times a day, except show days.
• 7:24
  They're 4. So I try to make some of the
• 7:26
  things that drop on YouTube daily that they're super shorts,
• 7:29
  2530 seconds or less. Then I have what I call inside
• 7:32
  the clips. So we'll, we'll grab some stuff
• 7:34
  from your episode. That's a 3 minute bit that may
• 7:37
  go on, you know, a noon every day for two weeks type thing,
• 7:42
  depending on how many we have. But then sandwich in those
• 7:44
  morning and afternoon will be those 2530 second clips.
• 7:47
  Not necessarily your show, but other shows because I interweave
• 7:50
  it. So it's not always the same
• 7:51
  person day after day after day. So that that's helped our
• 7:55
  YouTube grow organically because there's, there's always content,
• 7:58
  it's always different and the length of it's different by
• 8:01
  comparison. Except for their shows.
• 8:02
  Their shows vary from an hour to two hours depending on what day
• 8:05
  it is and what we're doing and who we're talking to and how the
• 8:07
  conversation flows. Yeah, but but your Instagram,
• 8:09
  that's probably why your shorter ones are going to blow up
• 8:11
  because people see them quickly, you know?
• 8:15
  I mean, I learned a lot of tricks, right when I when I
• 8:17
  started, I always thought the silences were funny, but people
• 8:20
  just. Flip I think the silences are
• 8:22
  hilarious, man. They are.
• 8:23
  We've had we've we've had enough comedians on the show that
• 8:26
  they're like, silence is gold, man.
• 8:28
  When you when you RIP a joke off and that pause and you let the
• 8:31
  cloud, the crowd laugh and just and you're still holding that
• 8:34
  that silence. It's coming on the timing.
• 8:36
  Yeah, they're on the edge of their seats.
• 8:37
  They're like, what's he going to say?
• 8:38
  What's he going to say? Here's a good way to equate it.
• 8:41
  If you listen to music, and Chris loves these moments and
• 8:43
  songs where the whole band stops and starts just in perfect time,
• 8:48
  right? That always drives the crowd
• 8:50
  wild because they're like, wow, there's four or five, however
• 8:53
  many guys are in the band, they all stopped at the same time.
• 8:56
  They all started at the same time.
• 8:58
  And those moments are just as exciting for the musicians as
• 9:01
  they are the crowd. That's the same concept of that
• 9:05
  silence, ones that you're using as comedic timing.
• 9:08
  Right. Yeah.
• 9:09
  Especially if you, especially if you're not counting in, if
• 9:12
  you're just dead silent and you just come back in, it's.
• 9:16
  Yeah. How did they do that?
• 9:19
  The I mean, there's a cut, you know, in in a band, you've got
• 9:21
  the synchronization and you're tight and it's it's great,
• 9:23
  right? You hit the yeah.
• 9:24
  One of my sons plays piano really nicely.
• 9:26
  And his best versions, his best versions, but he's just nine
• 9:30
  years old. We just came from her.
• 9:31
  So it's really great. But his best moments are when
• 9:33
  the rhythm's imperfect, right? You know, he thinks it's
• 9:36
  absolutely fast and, and have the dexterity to play amazing
• 9:39
  notes. The best moments are when the
• 9:40
  rhythm is really on. So, you know, you set the metro
• 9:44
  at 100 and he's like no, let's do 200, I can do 200 now.
• 9:47
  OK, that's cool, but it sounds kind of model but the.
• 9:51
  Same way you gotta have that timing, yeah.
• 9:54
  Son's been playing a year and a half.
• 9:55
  I play some music so I'm serious.
• 9:57
  I'll send you a song after this and.
• 9:59
  You can, right? On Because I'm Not, I'm not good
• 10:01
  enough to record my songs, but I have these two songs I wrote
• 10:03
  when I was in college. I still think they could be X
• 10:05
  man. Yeah, send them our way.
• 10:07
  I mean, I mean I can record rough versions but they need
• 10:09
  professionals so. Yeah.
• 10:10
  No, we got we. Yeah, we know producers now.
• 10:13
  We know other musicians all around the world, man, We could
• 10:16
  totally. We could have an All Star band.
• 10:18
  Nice. We're close to being able to put
• 10:20
  that together for for yeah, super group, Yeah.
• 10:23
  Yeah. I was thinking this the silence
• 10:25
  of comedians, because when when I watch some of my you know, I
• 10:27
  watch if I do scroll now it it my Instagram's filled with
• 10:31
  comedy because of what I of. Course, of course.
• 10:34
  And so I'm seeing Norm MacDonald's popping up about
• 10:36
  even Robin Williams, even Steven Wright, Whatever.
• 10:39
  And. I love Steven Wright man.
• 10:41
  Me too dude, me too. He's big, actually.
• 10:44
  They're all great. I shouldn't say he's.
• 10:45
  The best. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
• 10:46
  Oh, you're true. Yeah.
• 10:47
  Yeah, and I've, I've tried to take some of his things and
• 10:50
  adapt them to dad jokes. Yeah, I can't remember offhand
• 10:52
  it, but there have been a few out there.
• 10:53
  But they they build that silence.
• 10:56
  Driveway. Why do you park on the driveway
• 10:58
  and drive on the Parkway? That's one of my favorite ones.
• 11:01
  It is. He's the one who also asked why
• 11:04
  do you put The Who put the alphabet in that order?
• 11:06
  Like who decided A and then B? And that's a good one too, yeah.
• 11:09
  Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, my Steven Wright
• 11:12
  joke. There's a fine line between
• 11:14
  standing on the pier and fishing and looking like a total idiot.
• 11:20
  That one, that one just just like, Yep, that's a, that's a
• 11:25
  total like, Yep. Yeah, you just walk off stage at
• 11:28
  that. Point and the and the and the
• 11:30
  way he delivers it is what sells it because you got, you don't
• 11:32
  really have to think about it the way he delivers it because
• 11:35
  it's instantaneous. Yep.
• 11:37
  That and that back to silence. That's my point.
• 11:39
  You have to sort of build up to and because I started doing this
• 11:42
  and I'm just a guy who like telling jokes to my friends,
• 11:44
  right? Yeah, I think, I think I have a
• 11:46
  like a ton of friends who are much funnier than me.
• 11:48
  We just like telling jokes. But I just started doing this
• 11:51
  selfie stick. And then as I did it, you, you
• 11:54
  see yourself over and over and you change, you know, you start
• 11:56
  to sadly, what I realized is I, I developed a little bit of this
• 12:00
  persona where the stupider I am, the funnier I am.
• 12:03
  And maybe somehow that suits me. I don't know, like maybe it's
• 12:05
  just something I didn't know about myself.
• 12:07
  But yeah, it's interesting trying to build a, a personality
• 12:11
  to tell the jokes. And of course, not every joke
• 12:13
  fits it. OK, so that was one of my
• 12:15
  questions was how do you film those?
• 12:17
  So it's a selfie stick. You're walking around with a.
• 12:19
  Selfie. Yeah.
• 12:19
  So I live in Prague. That was going to be one of my
• 12:22
  questions. During.
• 12:23
  I was going to ask you too. I was going to ask you too.
• 12:24
  Where you're from. Yeah.
• 12:25
  Prague. OK, cool.
• 12:26
  Yeah, I'm living in Prague in the Czech Republic, so I was
• 12:28
  going to ask if you're if you're live here or not.
• 12:30
  You said 100 countries, so probably.
• 12:32
  Are Mike? Are we?
• 12:33
  We are in the Czech Republic. And we're going to grow our
• 12:36
  viewers in the Czech Republic because Jeffrey's there.
• 12:39
  Seriously, it's it's a trip. Like whenever we have, we had
• 12:42
  people, we had a band in South Africa we were talking to and
• 12:45
  then when their show dropped we had a tick up in South Africa.
• 12:47
  Australia when we talked to Peter.
• 12:49
  Oh yeah, yeah. I think.
• 12:52
  The frog Right on. Man that's so cool I had no
• 12:55
  idea. And and come visit.
• 12:57
  What a. Connection dude, he's uploading
• 12:58
  that 99. Percent of the halfway across
• 13:01
  the world, that's amazing. The.
• 13:04
  Tell us. Tell us about Prague, man.
• 13:05
  Now I'm interested. Yeah, me too.
• 13:07
  Educate us. Well, Prague's epic.
• 13:11
  I mean, it's, it's stunning. So I came, I'm American born,
• 13:14
  right? I grew, I was born in Chicago
• 13:15
  and grew up in the suburbs of Chicago.
• 13:17
  My family moved a lot. Illinois, Illinois, we're all
• 13:21
  from. Illinois.
• 13:21
  I'm from downstate and Pontiac. I looked at the Osborne in in
• 13:25
  Park Forest, southern suburb of Chicago, and then but my family,
• 13:29
  my family moved a lot. I grew up in LA, Chicago,
• 13:31
  Minneapolis, lots of parts of California.
• 13:33
  But in 1994 I graduated university in Northern
• 13:37
  California with a theater arts degree.
• 13:40
  Nice. So what are you gonna, what are
• 13:41
  you gonna do then? Right.
• 13:44
  Yeah, it's either Go to LA and try and become Norman Reedus.
• 13:46
  But I didn't know this. I didn't know he would take my
• 13:49
  looks and become a millionaire, of course.
• 13:50
  Bastard. You should.
• 13:52
  You should sue him. He should sue him dude, I'm
• 13:54
  thinking. It really it's like.
• 13:56
  It's like I had this face first. Yeah, it's like I shaved my head
• 13:59
  in 93 before anybody was shaving their head, then Michael Stipe
• 14:02
  did it, and all of a sudden, like it's this thing now.
• 14:04
  Like I've always thought I should go after Michael Stipe.
• 14:06
  Like this was my idea. Man, the dance, you know, And I
• 14:09
  think you can do it. Yeah, that was fun.
• 14:14
  I came, I came to Prague in 1994 and I thought it would be for a
• 14:18
  year. I had no motivation or plans.
• 14:21
  I just came here to teach English.
• 14:22
  But man, I'm not the only one. You come to Prague for a year
• 14:25
  and I basically haven't left. I mean, it's just really amazing
• 14:28
  here. Yeah, the.
• 14:29
  Is it? What is it?
• 14:30
  What is it? Go ahead, traged you.
• 14:33
  Right away. No, no, no, no, no.
• 14:34
  Go ahead. Sorry, sorry.
• 14:35
  No, I don't know where to begin. I mean, when I, when I came here
• 14:38
  in 1994, the, you know, sort of the end of of Russia and the
• 14:44
  Russian what's called empire for this conversation, although
• 14:46
  people are going to RIP me apart for that when they hear it was
• 14:50
  only five years earlier. So it was a country that was
• 14:52
  really exploring and discovering and finding itself the people
• 14:57
  and coming out of that sort of communist oppression to freedom.
• 15:01
  It was pretty wide open here. I mean, it was really the wild E
• 15:04
  there was a lot going on. It was exciting and I was 22
• 15:08
  years old. You could go buy a beer for
• 15:10
  $0.20. Water cost you $0.50.
• 15:12
  So it was pretty easy choice at that time and dangerous for a 22
• 15:18
  year old teaching. English, yeah.
• 15:20
  Yeah, Well. The vague resemblance to to to
• 15:24
  Andrew McCarthy. But anyway, I just loved it and
• 15:27
  then I went back to the states a couple times wants to educate
• 15:31
  myself a little bit more on my future profession.
• 15:33
  I worked in VFX and post production Cool.
• 15:36
  And, and other times just because it's, I come from a
• 15:40
  pretty big family. I, you know, I love my brothers,
• 15:42
  my sister, my parents. So it's tricky decision to make
• 15:45
  to say you're going to spend your whole life thousands of
• 15:47
  miles away. And obviously, obviously it's
• 15:50
  different than it was a couple, 100 years ago when you'd never
• 15:52
  hear from the person again, But still, it's a big distance.
• 15:55
  So, so I've been back and forth a bit, but never for more than a
• 15:58
  couple years. And out of those 30, geez, 32
• 16:01
  years now, geez, I'm dating myself.
• 16:03
  It's been in 2627 of them have been here in Prague and and in
• 16:09
  terms of personal life and and what opportunities you have
• 16:14
  here, I wouldn't change it. So I wouldn't go back.
• 16:17
  So when you got there, Jeffrey, what was the first thing that
• 16:20
  you were like? I mean, this sound sounds like
• 16:23
  it was an instant life changing experience.
• 16:25
  So like off the top of your head, what was the first thing
• 16:28
  that attracted you other than everything was super affordable?
• 16:32
  Yeah, $0.20. Beer.
• 16:33
  Well, there's, there's, there's, there's 3 answers please.
• 16:36
  And two, two of them are a little bit pubescent, but one's
• 16:39
  the beer, 2 is the 2's the women I was meeting all the time here.
• 16:43
  Fantastic. It's it's yeah, we don't have to
• 16:47
  go there. I don't want to get myself in
• 16:48
  trouble. But and then and three is to
• 16:51
  this day, if I have and I'm lucky, you know, I live
• 16:54
  relatively close to the center of of Prague.
• 16:56
  If I have a free day and I can go for a walk through the middle
• 16:59
  of the city, it's like, it's like a fairy tale.
• 17:02
  I mean, you have to come here to see it.
• 17:04
  It's just it's epically beautiful.
• 17:05
  And growing up in America where we don't have a lot of old
• 17:08
  stuff, you know, So coming here and I go walk across this famous
• 17:13
  bridge that's from the, you know, the whatever 1340s still
• 17:17
  standing. And it's you just feel like
• 17:20
  you're walking through a different time in a different
• 17:21
  era. And I never really got over
• 17:24
  that. Like, I just love it.
• 17:25
  I love that part of it. Now, have you been teaching the
• 17:28
  whole time you've been over there?
• 17:29
  Oh, no, no. So I taught, I taught English
• 17:32
  with 60,000 other Americans in the mid 1990s in Prague, by the
• 17:35
  way. I mean, it was, there was a
• 17:36
  flood of expats here. It's a city of now, I think 1.2
• 17:40
  million. I'm not sure that's what it's
• 17:41
  been around. And there were 60,000 Americans
• 17:43
  living here at officially in the mid 90s.
• 17:46
  I was one of many thousands of English teachers.
• 17:49
  They really pushed to, to up their level of English and to,
• 17:51
  to, to, to improve it. So I did that for a year.
• 17:55
  I started the second year. Then I decided, OK, I need to, I
• 17:58
  don't know, I, it's fine. It's a nice job.
• 18:00
  There's no disrespect. But as I said, I'm not really
• 18:03
  that stand up in front of people.
• 18:04
  I didn't get that side of it that much enjoyment or anything.
• 18:07
  So I decided to get into 3D animation and, and making, there
• 18:11
  you go. Nice look.
• 18:13
  That's Old Town Square in the middle of Prague.
• 18:15
  And that's great. I had, if you look at my jokes,
• 18:18
  I do a lot of jokes walking through Prague.
• 18:20
  So you see different parts of Prague as I as I walk around.
• 18:24
  Well, I, this was gonna, that's why I was gonna, that's what I
• 18:25
  was gonna ask you because I watch your stuff.
• 18:27
  So the backgrounds are always really, really epic.
• 18:30
  So that was one thing I was gonna ask.
• 18:31
  And one of our conversations in the past, you were, we when we
• 18:34
  were trying to schedule you were, you just got back from
• 18:36
  London or something. And the, and the timing was
• 18:38
  skewed. So I was like, oh, maybe he's in
• 18:39
  London. Yeah, obviously I have a little
• 18:41
  bit of an accent. So beautiful.
• 18:45
  I get that accent comment a lot. I go back, whenever I go back to
• 18:48
  the States, people ask me what's up with my snobbish European
• 18:50
  accent. But I, I think you just, I think
• 18:52
  you just adapt to the people around you and the level of
• 18:55
  English, if you're in Prague right now, the level of English
• 18:57
  is fluent. But when I came here in the mid
• 18:59
  90s, obviously it was different. And you, you change.
• 19:02
  I didn't speak Czech then, but you change the rhythm and you
• 19:05
  try. You want people to understand
• 19:06
  you and then. How many languages do you speak
• 19:08
  now, Jeffrey? Just to I studied Spanish which
• 19:12
  made for a lot of good jokes on the Instagram, but I think I I
• 19:16
  joke that every everything I learned in in Czech, I lost a
• 19:20
  word in Spanish. So now it might be negative
• 19:22
  words that I speak in Spanish. Wow, my wife would love these
• 19:25
  churches man. Now, do you write in Czech and
• 19:28
  read in Czech too or just speak it?
• 19:31
  Yeah, no, I I can write, read and speak, but it's, I don't
• 19:35
  know how many Czech people I know are listening.
• 19:36
  It's it's obvious I'm not Czech, you know, I'm like that.
• 19:39
  It's like Bruce Willis's girlfriend in Pulp Fiction.
• 19:41
  I think a little bit probably. Like there's a.
• 19:43
  Strong accent and I think I'm great, but I, you know, I'll go
• 19:48
  into a store and I'll say something and check and the
• 19:49
  people respond in English. So I'm like, OK, come on.
• 19:52
  I thought I was doing pretty good.
• 19:53
  And. And their English can be really
• 19:55
  bad and they still do that. So I don't know.
• 19:57
  Yeah, but anyway, I wish there's more Prague.
• 19:59
  Yeah, If you haven't been, don't miss it.
• 20:02
  Yeah, OK. Everyone listening too.
• 20:04
  It's. Epic in university?
• 20:07
  And and I'll take you out for a beer if you come so.
• 20:09
  I don't drink, but I'll go out. I'll take you can Take Me Out
• 20:12
  for water. My wife can drink.
• 20:13
  My wife will drink a beer with you.
• 20:16
  We've got a lot of options here. Cool.
• 20:18
  So is Prague a democracy? It's part of my ignorance.
• 20:21
  Is it? Is it Democrat?
• 20:22
  OK, OK. Yeah, I mean, cool.
• 20:25
  Without getting into world politics, a lot of countries are
• 20:27
  obviously going through some difficult times and that
• 20:30
  fighting, let's say, to keep democracy.
• 20:32
  Yeah. Yeah, like Republic would
• 20:34
  definitely label itself a democracy, Yeah.
• 20:35
  OK, yeah, I wasn't sure. I mean, you know, I just just
• 20:38
  curious. No, I mean it's a huge world and
• 20:41
  this is a small country. It's 10 million people, right?
• 20:43
  So how many people know much about a 10 million person
• 20:46
  country when you live in the US or wherever?
• 20:49
  Yeah. Right.
• 20:50
  Well, you just mentioned something that's the outside
• 20:53
  influence. How much outside influence do
• 20:55
  you feel like there is in the Czech Republic right now from
• 21:00
  maybe Russia or, you know, somebody that wants that back?
• 21:06
  Yeah, that's a that's a tricky look.
• 21:08
  There's nervous. There are people here who are
• 21:10
  nervous. Nice.
• 21:12
  Oh my God, that's I posted that an hour ago.
• 21:14
  Guys, you're. I know, I know, I know.
• 21:16
  We're good, man, we're good. And.
• 21:18
  Before I before I posted it, I had to write a good friend of
• 21:21
  mine and I'm like, is this just too silly?
• 21:23
  And he said no, there's no such thing as too silly, just go for
• 21:25
  it like it's OK. After you finish, after you
• 21:27
  finish your statement, we'll watch this one.
• 21:29
  Yeah, answer my question. Yeah, Yeah.
• 21:31
  So I mean, there are there are nerves here that and they're
• 21:35
  understandable. There's big history, right?
• 21:37
  The, the, the Czech Republic and Czechoslovakia, it became the
• 21:40
  Czech Republic in 93. Before that it was
• 21:42
  Czechoslovakia. And they have a history of sort
• 21:44
  of being in their view, betrayed to the world, right?
• 21:48
  Sort of sold out after the Munich Conference after World
• 21:51
  War 2, sort of given to the Russians instead of being, you
• 21:54
  know, protected in some way. And and that's not a new history
• 21:57
  for them. So there's not a lot of trust of
• 21:59
  other people and least of all, I think Russia got you.
• 22:03
  So, so there's not a feeling here that, you know, if, if
• 22:06
  Russia were to successfully overtake Ukraine, people in in
• 22:11
  Central and Eastern Europe are certainly even of course there's
• 22:15
  a camaraderie with, there's a camaraderie with Ukraine, that's
• 22:18
  one thing. But there's also even worry that
• 22:20
  where does it end? Got you for sure.
• 22:22
  All right, here we go. Here's a little Here's a little
• 22:25
  tidbit of Jeffrey The Walking The Walking Dad jokesman.
• 22:28
  You know the Navy Seals, right? Guys are amazing.
• 22:33
  This is famous quote by Sealed. I've been carrying with me for a
• 22:35
  long time. It, he said said.
• 22:40
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
• 22:46
  You know the Navy Seal's. That's the real one's gonna.
• 22:53
  Not everyone's going to know what an EV seal is, but yeah.
• 22:56
  Years ago I had this girlfriend she she broke up with me and she
• 22:59
  told all of our friends it was because my penis was too small.
• 23:03
  Friends were all surprised. I wasn't more upset, but I was
• 23:05
  like, just wasn't that indoor. Years ago I was girl.
• 23:11
  And the award for most secretive personal male office.
• 23:15
  I was like. I can't tell you guys what.
• 23:17
  This means dude. And the award for most secretive
• 23:20
  personal male office. I was like, I can't tell you
• 23:24
  guys what this means to me. Life was upset.
• 23:28
  She said. So I put my son's shoes on the
• 23:30
  wrong feet. I was like.
• 23:31
  Come on, doesn't have any other feet.
• 23:35
  Life was. Upset, she said.
• 23:39
  Just after our first son was born in the delivery room, my
• 23:41
  wife, she said, she said she knew she wanted another baby.
• 23:46
  I knew it too. So I went into the hospital that
• 23:49
  night and I swapped him. I hope my son's not listening to
• 23:55
  that, yeah. I would hope knowing, I would
• 24:00
  hope knowing you, he would know that.
• 24:02
  That's a joke for sure. My, my hilarious my yeah, my son
• 24:09
  has. So I'll cut to the chase on this
• 24:12
  one because everyone will bug me if I don't say I'm.
• 24:14
  Sorry. I love the dad joke so much
• 24:17
  that, that when my son was born and I, you know, I, my wife and
• 24:20
  I had a baby pretty quickly and, and we, so we're in the hospital
• 24:25
  room. When you're in the hospital,
• 24:26
  you're, they, they tell you, you have to write the name before
• 24:28
  the baby's born In the Czech Republic, you write boy and girl
• 24:31
  name on the sheet. Even if you know the gender,
• 24:33
  they want to know the name in advance.
• 24:35
  Of course, we've been talking about it, but he was born 5
• 24:37
  weeks early. So it was a little bit early and
• 24:39
  unexpected, but I insisted. Or I, you know, I'm like, OK,
• 24:44
  look, we don't know each other that well.
• 24:47
  To my to my girlfriend then. I mean, you know, I'd known her
• 24:49
  ten months. Yeah, yeah, we don't know each
• 24:52
  other that well. But I really want to go with the
• 24:53
  name Justin. And the point of that is my last
• 24:57
  name by birth is actually case. OK.
• 25:00
  So I insisted that I think just in case would be a.
• 25:03
  Great deal. Just.
• 25:05
  In case that's. Brilliant.
• 25:07
  So he is named Justin. My wife agreed and she still
• 25:11
  seems to love me as far as I can tell.
• 25:14
  And and so the point is, Justin definitely knows what kind of
• 25:17
  sense of, I mean, we live in the Czech Republic, remember, right.
• 25:20
  So most of his classmates don't speak fluent English.
• 25:22
  The teachers get it, the adults get it.
• 25:24
  They're caught Once a while, someone comes, they're like, did
• 25:25
  you know that his name? Of course we know like.
• 25:28
  Yeah. Yeah, I actually planned it that
• 25:31
  way. That's awesome.
• 25:32
  Yeah, that's surprised. That's awesome.
• 25:36
  That's awesome. And then yeah, those clips, man,
• 25:39
  I it's a daily thing on Instagram to think what should
• 25:42
  you post? Because now that it's gotten a
• 25:44
  little bit popular, friends watch it And and one of my one
• 25:47
  of my colleagues, I hope she watches this one day.
• 25:49
  Her daughter watches it. I think she's 11 years old.
• 25:52
  So I post jokes like the one about the penis and I'm like, I
• 25:56
  can't believe in the love. Year old girl's going to watch
• 25:58
  this. I feel a little bit
• 25:58
  self-conscious. Of course not.
• 26:00
  Not my decision, but yeah. Right, right now, how do you
• 26:04
  come up with them? Because they're clever and
• 26:06
  they're always different. They're not obviously great.
• 26:09
  Majority of them are things I've heard along the line along the
• 26:12
  way. And then I try and sort of, I
• 26:14
  try and sort of tweak him to this character.
• 26:16
  Yeah, yeah. And then what I'm finding, and I
• 26:20
  enjoy it because I, I'd like to think I'm a creative person as
• 26:23
  I'm making up more and more along the way.
• 26:25
  Because I'm realizing that all of these times in your life,
• 26:28
  when someone says something and you have a funny answer, most of
• 26:32
  those can be turned into a joke in some way or another if you
• 26:34
  just give. It a little bit of.
• 26:35
  Right. Whatever you paint, you paint
• 26:38
  the scenario, the build up the the misdirection and then the
• 26:42
  redirection back and the payoff, whatever it is.
• 26:44
  But most of the times when we think we're sending something
• 26:46
  funny, there's potential to turn it into a joke.
• 26:48
  So. Right, sure.
• 26:49
  So that happens. Good.
• 26:50
  But a lot of them are adapted. And I wish I could like, I love
• 26:54
  Norm MacDonald and I wish I could tell his jokes, but most
• 26:56
  of them are too long. And that's the, as you said,
• 26:58
  they're like, yeah, what's the. I think I posted a 59 second
• 27:03
  joke a year ago and it ended up doing pretty well but not in the
• 27:06
  first couple weeks. Like it took people a while to
• 27:08
  go back to it. Well, that's a different kind of
• 27:11
  humor, too. You know, I think you sell
• 27:13
  yourself short sometimes because you think you're telling what,
• 27:16
  you know, the world would call stupid jokes, right?
• 27:20
  But yeah, those are near and dear to everyone's heart because
• 27:23
  most of the time, like you said, you mentioned one that might be
• 27:27
  potentially, you know, he got the word penis in there.
• 27:29
  But for the most part, they're clean jokes that are still funny
• 27:34
  to adults, but they're also funny to children, too, right?
• 27:36
  Yeah. Or yeah, or you can tell a joke
• 27:40
  that's subliminal, that's still clean.
• 27:42
  You know, there's no bad language in there.
• 27:44
  It might be only funny to an adult.
• 27:46
  Kids going to go. I don't get it.
• 27:48
  You watch kids cartoons and there's always the innuendos
• 27:51
  hidden away, right The. Cartoons that we grew up on.
• 27:53
  His kids was full of adult humor.
• 27:56
  Yeah, I remember seeing one Where where tom-tom and Jerry,
• 28:00
  Tom had this doughnut or something and he was teasing
• 28:03
  Jerry with it. Jerry was licking the tip of the
• 28:05
  doughnut and then Tom and then Tom squeezed it and it it covers
• 28:09
  it covers Jerry the mouse with white cream.
• 28:14
  Really. They couldn't have chose
• 28:16
  Raspberry, right? No, you know, and let's be
• 28:21
  honest, my wife, my wife teaches 6th grade.
• 28:23
  Jeffrey and 6th graders together, they're 11-12 years
• 28:26
  old. They know what a penis is, at
• 28:28
  least in America, at least in our state.
• 28:30
  Well, for sure nowadays with the Internet and yeah, absolutely.
• 28:34
  And they do here too. I mean, the problem is I love
• 28:37
  those adult jokes. I just, there's no way to
• 28:39
  separate, you know? I mean, I have kids too.
• 28:40
  I don't want them to hear every joke.
• 28:41
  I would tell. There's some jokes that
• 28:44
  definitely cross lines like it sometimes.
• 28:46
  I asked once FGPD, I'm like, can I publish the joke?
• 28:48
  And it said no, you'll be banned from the Internet.
• 28:51
  Like just don't. And it didn't.
• 28:53
  It didn't. Remind me that was going to be
• 28:55
  my point. Jeffrey I love, and Chris does
• 28:57
  too. We love what we both call
• 28:59
  gallows humor, right? Just horrible jokes that.
• 29:03
  Yeah. Your average person, you know,
• 29:05
  like your Sunday churchgoers going to go.
• 29:07
  Oh, my God. I can't believe you think that's
• 29:09
  funny. But I also find your humor
• 29:11
  equally as funny. Right.
• 29:13
  We were both. Chris was crying.
• 29:15
  I was too. I just coming out of my eyes
• 29:16
  watching those. Yeah.
• 29:18
  So. Yeah, thank.
• 29:20
  You for that reaction. That was nice to see.
• 29:22
  You I appreciate no and and see and the other reason why we do
• 29:24
  what we do the way we do it is everything.
• 29:26
  All our reactions are genuine. Now, I guess I followed you on
• 29:29
  Instagram and Facebook, right? But conversationally, the reason
• 29:34
  why we I don't read the biographies that people send
• 29:36
  this mic does when they register for the show, because I want
• 29:39
  everything genuine. I want the reactions to be real.
• 29:41
  So when I was running a show called Good News Arizona, I
• 29:43
  wrote the script for every episode.
• 29:45
  My partner was a straight laced Mormon guy who never swore, who
• 29:50
  was like literally the you looked up Mormon Dean was that
• 29:53
  guy in the dictionary. So some of the stuff that he I
• 29:56
  had him reading, he didn't realize he was reading until we
• 29:58
  sat down at the table and it was recording.
• 30:01
  So his reactions were genuine, where he would start reading
• 30:04
  something, he couldn't say it because he started laughing so
• 30:06
  hard because he knew this was 360° away from who he really was
• 30:10
  as a human. But it made it that much more
• 30:12
  funny, which made the show that much more popular because it was
• 30:14
  a genuine reaction and everybody knew who he was and who I was
• 30:19
  and our difference of of, you know, just who we were as
• 30:22
  humans. It just made that's much
• 30:23
  funnier. So the reason why I pulled your
• 30:26
  jokes up like that just really and random is because I want
• 30:29
  people to see the real reaction because your shit's funny, man.
• 30:33
  And I know that's not all. I know that's not what all
• 30:35
  you're about. But so you haven't gone and done
• 30:37
  this for stand up or anything? Never.
• 30:39
  Never in my life. No, never.
• 30:40
  Never and. It's funny, you don't learn it,
• 30:43
  not really. So I in the early days, I got
• 30:46
  this follower who I, I once in a while with some people like my
• 30:49
  daughter who's now 19, just turned.
• 30:52
  She was super excited because Duff Mcgagan started following
• 30:55
  me on Instagram. That's so.
• 30:56
  Cool. And I think he re shared a
• 30:58
  couple of jokes or something. And my daughter and all of her
• 31:01
  friends, to my surprise, they, they're in the Guns and Roses
• 31:04
  right now, right? But but to my surprise, she knew
• 31:07
  everything about him. And I'm like, I don't even know
• 31:09
  that much. But that just proves my point.
• 31:11
  Somebody that you would think or the world, you know, I wouldn't
• 31:13
  think because I know a million musicians, you know, we're all
• 31:16
  just people too, right? He he finds that just as funny
• 31:19
  as Chris and I I mean, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
• 31:22
  Yeah. And he?
• 31:22
  Probably has the same gallows sense of humor where he's going
• 31:25
  to go watch Joey Diaz, but he's going to cut.
• 31:29
  If you were a stand up comedian, he would go watch you too.
• 31:31
  As what? I as what, Chris?
• 31:33
  I would, I'm starting, I'm starting a online one where I
• 31:37
  can do more of the gallows humor things on this platform.
• 31:39
  It's it's check Ron originally, but it's expanded in the US
• 31:42
  called Hero, Hero and all. I'll share information about at
• 31:45
  some point. But we're just kicking it up
• 31:47
  because because there's jokes I can't tell on Instagram that I
• 31:49
  think I almost agree with. Anything can be made a joke of.
• 31:53
  I'm not quite there, but I'm at the 98% range.
• 31:56
  But certainly there's a lot of jokes that you I don't want my
• 31:59
  colleagues kid to see. But I would like to share
• 32:02
  another way. Sure, yeah.
• 32:03
  Now, does does do your jokes translate into the Czech
• 32:07
  language? You know, that's a, that's a
• 32:09
  great question. 5050. So there's jokes like, so the
• 32:14
  Spanish joke. So I had these jokes that got
• 32:16
  really popular that all of a sudden boosted my popularity.
• 32:19
  And this joke in Spanish was when I speak to Spanish people,
• 32:24
  I like to use the word neutral because it means a lot to them.
• 32:29
  And it and I thought it was just, you know, when I recorded
• 32:32
  it, I was in Spain. So I had a nice background
• 32:35
  walking through a square in Malaga.
• 32:37
  And I kind of, when I published it, just thought it was kind of
• 32:39
  a throwaway between like the more funny, more slightly more
• 32:43
  adult jokes. I don't know, it's four and a
• 32:45
  half million views or something on Instagram on that joke or
• 32:47
  something, right? And so it totally surprises so.
• 32:50
  You need to meta. You need to meta verify
• 32:53
  yourself. I think that's what you're
• 32:54
  saying is go go, go to the meta. It's worth it.
• 32:57
  I I saw the posting that I don't know much about.
• 32:59
  Yeah. I I get I don't make I meta
• 33:02
  verified and I get probably $10 a month and I don't do I'm not
• 33:06
  getting near and just my personal shit.
• 33:08
  I'm not getting near the stuff you're getting.
• 33:10
  So go do that and you'll be surprised.
• 33:12
  Is there open mics? Is there?
• 33:14
  Yeah, go ahead, go ahead. No, no, I was gonna ask.
• 33:17
  So that's across everything to do with Meta.
• 33:18
  So Facebook, Instagram or whatever or OK.
• 33:21
  Yep, Yep. They'll just pay you because
• 33:23
  what it is is like your four and a half million views of the
• 33:26
  Mucho joke. OK, so they would populate that
• 33:29
  in for a everyday viewer, right in the algorithms.
• 33:32
  Yeah. And then right after it, there's
• 33:35
  a commercial and then it says the next reel, the next reel
• 33:39
  continues after this commercial and then your next reel would
• 33:42
  pop up. So they're placing
• 33:45
  advertisements between your reels because you have the
• 33:47
  followers. So go do that on both your
• 33:50
  channels. And then you'll start getting,
• 33:52
  they'll ask you for all your information and details and
• 33:53
  you'll start getting money for that, rightfully so.
• 33:56
  I mean, you have four and a half million viewers on stuff.
• 33:58
  You should be getting paid for, absolutely.
• 34:00
  There's been like 4 or 5 jokes that got that and I never would
• 34:03
  have guessed it on any of them but but so you never know.
• 34:06
  That's the point I guess. But anyway, no harm in
• 34:08
  activating you. Yeah, yeah.
• 34:10
  So go do that. Is there is there in in in the
• 34:13
  Czech Republic? Are there are there bars for
• 34:14
  like open mic and stuff like there?
• 34:17
  Are, but of course they're in Czech.
• 34:19
  I mean, you asked about the Czech site.
• 34:20
  So yeah, again, I speak Czech like a foreigner and that some
• 34:24
  people tell me in a cute way. A friend of my wife who lives
• 34:28
  outside of Prague said, look, you should do the Czech version
• 34:30
  of these jokes. Most people in Prague, you meet
• 34:34
  foreigners who speak Czech. Outside of Prague, you don't.
• 34:36
  You don't meet people who speak Czech and who speak, you know,
• 34:40
  people from Czech Republic in in Bakersfield kind of thing,
• 34:43
  right? So maybe you do.
• 34:44
  Right, OK, OK, I'll. Try to make a throwaway there.
• 34:47
  But anyway, I said, look outside of Prague.
• 34:49
  We don't meet people like you. You speak Czech.
• 34:51
  It's quite cute in a way. And so tell the jokes in Czech
• 34:56
  with your accent and, and give it a shot.
• 34:59
  And so then I, then I did, I took it and I, and I looked at I
• 35:02
  think 100 random jokes and thought how many could these
• 35:05
  could translate? And it's pretty clear, right?
• 35:07
  I mean, if, if it's a double meaning in English, it's tricky.
• 35:10
  Sometimes you can make up an alternate double meaning, but
• 35:12
  not usually. So, but if it's, if it's a, if
• 35:15
  it's a story humor, if it's a misunderstanding humor not based
• 35:18
  on language and it works. It's about 5050 is the.
• 35:21
  Long, Long story short. Do they have the same sense of
• 35:25
  humor? I mean, are they gonna get all
• 35:26
  these jokes? Yeah, Jacks have a really dark
• 35:29
  sense of humor. They'll prefer the goal gallows.
• 35:32
  I mean again, my wife might not laugh at my jokes, but checks
• 35:35
  have a really dark dark well and long extreme dark.
• 35:38
  But see, but see spouses, those those are married to creative
• 35:42
  people. They they live our creativity.
• 35:47
  My wife helped me. She was, she was kind of, I was
• 35:49
  bouncing ideas off for the last book I wrote.
• 35:51
  And she's in the book and we had the adventures in the book, but
• 35:53
  she's never read the book and people give her shit for never
• 35:55
  reading the book. But she was with me when I wrote
• 35:57
  the book. Yeah.
• 35:58
  So it's, it's that thing like when I was in my band, she was
• 36:00
  with me when I was in the bands. So of course she's not buying
• 36:03
  the CD and shit because she had listened to that shit 1000
• 36:06
  times. Like she's tired of that shit.
• 36:09
  So but I so I feel you. What I was going to suggest next
• 36:12
  time you go to the States, if you think about it, especially
• 36:14
  if you go back to Chicago, you should go do one of those open
• 36:18
  mic improv nights because you have 5-10 minutes to do jokes.
• 36:23
  I would be really, really interested to find out how the
• 36:26
  crowd takes you. Oh, he was killed right 'cause I
• 36:30
  think you're funny as hell and I think you would kill that would
• 36:33
  be. You guys so.
• 36:35
  And here's why. I say.
• 36:35
  That Jeffrey, Real quick, here's why I say that.
• 36:39
  Yeah, when it comes to comedians, I am the most
• 36:43
  critical person you are ever going to meet.
• 36:46
  Music, as long as it has a good beat and it's in key, I can
• 36:51
  tolerate it, right? Because I've been a musician my
• 36:53
  whole life. That's what spoke to me.
• 36:54
  That's my piece in life. But I love comedy just short of
• 36:59
  how much I love music. But I am hyper critical of it.
• 37:02
  Like, you better be funny. And when Chris told me about you
• 37:06
  and I started checking out your channel, I was instantly hooked.
• 37:09
  Like, I probably watched 20 of your videos right in a row.
• 37:13
  You're funny, dude. And the coolest thing and the
• 37:16
  coolest, the coolest thing about your approach is you don't have
• 37:20
  to think even though you have to think exactly, You know what I
• 37:23
  mean? So I saw, I'm going to equate it
• 37:24
  to this. The office.
• 37:25
  You can turn on the office and you can shut your brain off and
• 37:27
  have fun. You can waste.
• 37:29
  And you're still laughing your ass off.
• 37:30
  You can waste 90 minutes of your day, evening, you have a shitty
• 37:32
  day, you want to come home and just shut your brain off and
• 37:34
  just zone out. I put it in the office and it's
• 37:36
  just, it's just funny as hell. Not that I'm zoning out when I'm
• 37:39
  watching you, but when your stuff comes up, we all get stuff
• 37:43
  in algorithms, right? We're.
• 37:44
  All easy to digest. Right.
• 37:45
  We all get stuff force fed us through the Facebooks and the
• 37:48
  Instagrams. Now the difference is when your
• 37:50
  shit comes up, I don't mean shit in a bad way when your when your
• 37:53
  comedy comes up. Yeah, I go to the next reel and
• 37:57
  I go to the next reel and I go to the next reel.
• 37:59
  So I'm 4-5. So I'm 4-5 reels deep into your
• 38:03
  jokes before like OK next? Where anybody else's page, you
• 38:07
  might just watch the one reel and then you're onto somebody
• 38:10
  else's page. Right, like Jack is easy to get
• 38:12
  stuck on, right? Like Jack Osborne came on about
• 38:15
  something and I watched one. I watched his thing, and that
• 38:17
  was it. Because.
• 38:18
  OK. All right, Rich Jack.
• 38:19
  Whatever that's most. Reels, right?
• 38:21
  Most people don't go down the rabbit hole.
• 38:23
  People are going to go down the rabbit hole with you just for
• 38:25
  the sheer fact that you're funny, you're clever and it's,
• 38:28
  it's innuendo jokes, but they're relevant because they're dad
• 38:32
  jokes. Your, your, your face is
• 38:35
  recognizable. Even though I didn't, I didn't
• 38:37
  remember, I didn't put the two and two together till today.
• 38:40
  But just we're going to go down the rabbit hole again, man,
• 38:42
  because why not? Just after our first son was
• 38:46
  born delivering on my wife, she. Saw that one, yeah.
• 38:49
  And she wanted another baby. I knew it too.
• 38:53
  So I went in the hospital that night and I swammed it.
• 38:57
  Poor Justin. We gave the heat.
• 39:00
  He said that. I said what are my options, Dad?
• 39:02
  I was like yes or no? So there's one that was made-up
• 39:18
  walking around obviously, right? That wasn't preplanned.
• 39:21
  It was just something that came up on.
• 39:22
  You're walking around and it released the Kafka museum here,
• 39:24
  obviously, because Kafka. That was awesome.
• 39:26
  So my. Granny's a good birthday.
• 39:28
  We asked her what her doctor says about all of her bad
• 39:30
  Hamlets. Eating fat, drinking vodka.
• 39:34
  She said. Well, my doctor died 40 years
• 39:37
  ago. That's actually that's a true
• 39:41
  story, like, but it's just a family, legendary family moment.
• 39:44
  And so you just share it because it's funny, right?
• 39:47
  Yeah. This this is the one you just
• 39:49
  did the other day, which I thought was hilarious.
• 39:51
  This one I can. Go to the store with just $0.50
• 39:54
  and I could come home with my pocketful of candy and soft
• 39:57
  drinks and stuff. It's amazing.
• 39:59
  Kids these days, though, I mean, they've got cameras everywhere.
• 40:03
  And I was. A friend of mine, Matthew, he's
• 40:06
  totally obsessed with boxing and boxers swear that's all he talks
• 40:11
  about. That one came from a fan,
• 40:15
  actually. I agreed to post it.
• 40:16
  A fan, A fan wrote me that joke. His name's Matthew.
• 40:19
  I don't know Matthew. Maybe he'll watch this one day.
• 40:22
  Shout out to Matthew. And I just thought, OK, it's
• 40:24
  cute. Let's let's.
• 40:25
  Managing it. That's awesome.
• 40:28
  And I get a lot of those. I get jokes.
• 40:30
  That come in from randomly. Friend came in it was really
• 40:32
  crowded so asked her if she could wait a bit.
• 40:34
  She said sure. So like great, can you bring
• 40:37
  this food to table 3I? Love all.
• 40:43
  Right. I got to keep you guys as my
• 40:44
  audience. I'm you're the best one I've
• 40:46
  got. So they're funny, man, I don't
• 40:48
  care. Who you are?
• 40:48
  They're funny. Oh, shit.
• 40:51
  This is going to be a funny one. I can tell you tell.
• 40:54
  And I meant what I said. I'm trying to go back to the
• 40:56
  bedroom and the the Prince, he admits to the Princess he's
• 40:59
  never done this before so she can help.
• 41:02
  She says. Of course she says, OK, what do
• 41:04
  I do? She says, well you start by
• 41:08
  undressing us. So he takes off her dress, takes
• 41:10
  off his clothes. What now?
• 41:13
  She says, well now maybe you could put your hand on my belly,
• 41:17
  rub my belly, tell me you love me.
• 41:19
  So he puts his hand on her belly, starts rubbing her belly
• 41:21
  and says, I love you. What now?
• 41:26
  She says, well maybe you could try a little lower.
• 41:30
  He says I love you. It's funny, they all come from
• 41:39
  different places. And I knew that was coming.
• 41:43
  And that's it's still. But see.
• 41:44
  But see, I didn't. Know you musicians obviously
• 41:47
  should pick up on that one, right?
• 41:49
  The bass is coming in, right? Yeah, right.
• 41:51
  But see, I didn't that would I wasn't I didn't even go there.
• 41:53
  I wasn't even thinking that was going to do that because I mean,
• 41:55
  your stuff is so random that I but it.
• 41:57
  Still got me, man. I laughed.
• 41:58
  My right too right. It's your timing, dude.
• 42:01
  We talked about it early. You have perfect pregnant
• 42:04
  pauses. It's funny in that, in that,
• 42:06
  that joke, that last one, I was really not happy with the
• 42:08
  recording. When I go out, I take the selfie
• 42:10
  stick. I walk around in that case with
• 42:12
  the Prince and Princess. I'm like, oh, I'm walking around
• 42:15
  the castle. Let's tell a joke about a Prince
• 42:16
  and a Princess. Cuz I have this, I brought it.
• 42:19
  I have this Excel sheet that I print with like 700 jokes that
• 42:22
  I'm building it every day and I'm like, I'll tell the Princess
• 42:26
  joke. I haven't talked about that in a
• 42:27
  long time. And then when I watched the
• 42:29
  videos back and I recorded it like 3 times and I just wasn't
• 42:32
  happy with any of them. And there was a really specific
• 42:34
  reason, which was I always feel like it should be where the, the
• 42:38
  the Prince is saying, you know, the Prince does this.
• 42:41
  OK, OK, what next? And it should be like, somehow
• 42:44
  he should accentuate the monotone cluelessness and
• 42:47
  stupidity of this guy. And then somehow that makes the
• 42:50
  payoff even better. And I just wasn't happy.
• 42:51
  I'm like, forget it. Let's just put it out there and
• 42:54
  see what happens. That's the artist in you, but
• 42:56
  the you did the right thing. So I'm trying to think of the
• 43:00
  best way to put this because Chris would admit we suffer from
• 43:04
  the same thing as musicians. I just got asked the other day,
• 43:08
  how do you know when a song's done?
• 43:10
  You don't. You just decide it's done.
• 43:12
  And we as musicians, to this day, if we recorded something 30
• 43:17
  years ago, there's still things you hear that you're like, damn.
• 43:20
  You've heard that? Yeah, I read, I read a John
• 43:22
  Lennon interview where he said he would love to go back and re
• 43:25
  regard almost everything, right. Eddie Van Halen, one of the most
• 43:28
  famous solos ever, recorded any eruption, He said there's a
• 43:32
  mistake at the top of it. He said that for years nobody
• 43:35
  can hear it but him. You know this one.
• 43:38
  I mean my 9 year old makes a lot of mistakes on piano.
• 43:40
  I'm like, I'm like Justin, nobody else hears it but you and
• 43:43
  your piano teacher. And maybe me because I've.
• 43:45
  Heard this long 100 times, yeah. You got to put it out.
• 43:47
  If you don't put it out there, then the world never sees it.
• 43:50
  And obviously the world loves what you're doing because you're
• 43:54
  just getting more popular all the time.
• 43:56
  So just keep putting it out there, man.
• 43:57
  I would have never. I would have.
• 43:59
  Never would tell you you're. Unhappy with that?
• 44:01
  I'm not going to tell you this next joke is true, but yeah.
• 44:03
  OK, so but but the reason I pulled this up while you guys
• 44:06
  were talking, I went down the rabbit hole of the reels.
• 44:07
  This one's like 200,000 views. It's.
• 44:09
  My wife, why she doesn't tell me when she orgasms, she's so
• 44:13
  sweet, she said. I don't like to bother you when
• 44:16
  you're at work. I'm, you know, we've been, we've
• 44:21
  been together 10 years. So yeah, the that was great.
• 44:30
  And I'm blessed her, my, my wife is my muse.
• 44:33
  So blessed her to the moon and back and, and a little bit I
• 44:36
  joke about her not making my it's true.
• 44:38
  She doesn't like half of my jokes.
• 44:40
  But you know, there's also, she's Czech.
• 44:42
  She speaks excellent English. But yeah.
• 44:45
  Or maybe I'm just not fun. We had.
• 44:47
  We had not. Yeah.
• 44:49
  Go ahead, Mike. Go ahead, Mike.
• 44:50
  No, not everybody has the same sense of humor.
• 44:53
  Yeah, yeah, I guess. You know, Chris and I are going
• 44:55
  to laugh at things that believe me, 95% of the world is going to
• 44:59
  look at us and go, you guys are sick fucks.
• 45:02
  That's why you're laughing at all the jokes.
• 45:04
  I'm just kidding. We have.
• 45:06
  No, but the flip side of that is we're going to laugh at some of
• 45:09
  the most innocent things too. You know, things that hardcore
• 45:13
  people would be like, oh, I can't believe you think that's
• 45:15
  funny because it's funny, man. You know, sometimes Jim
• 45:19
  Gaffigan, he's one of the most clean comedians on the planet.
• 45:22
  He's hilarious. I love his comedy.
• 45:24
  I watch every one of his specials, but I also watch Joey
• 45:27
  Diaz, who not many people are going to get his humor.
• 45:30
  You know, it's pretty crude. I don't even know that one.
• 45:33
  I'm going to look that up. Joey Diaz, OK.
• 45:35
  He's hilarious. Now, do you have a YouTube
• 45:37
  channel? I didn't put it on YouTube.
• 45:41
  Look at the beginning, I was checking followers every day and
• 45:43
  now I'm not. YouTube has not taken off in any
• 45:45
  way. The number of like followers is
• 45:47
  a not weird is in 100. I don't know how many it is, but
• 45:50
  it's in 100, yeah. YouTube.
• 45:52
  'S and TikTok and Facebook are in the, I don't know, 8/12/15
• 45:56
  thousand range, but to be fair, all three of those I started
• 46:00
  within I think within the last year or less.
• 46:02
  So Instagram's longer running 1. So check this out.
• 46:07
  This one has 525,000 views. OK, that's 525,000 views.
• 46:13
  That's awesome. My grandpa say whenever one door
• 46:15
  closes, another door open. He's a great man, but terrible
• 46:20
  cabinet. Now I know why that's that.
• 46:25
  Should have 525 million. And I didn't, but I didn't think
• 46:28
  it was that funny. I mean, I don't know.
• 46:32
  I mean, it was amusing, yes. Otherwise I wouldn't record it,
• 46:35
  but yeah. A lot of it is your delivery
• 46:39
  though. Would you not agree with that,
• 46:41
  Chris? Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 46:44
  This one this. Maybe if I'm telling that joke
• 46:46
  it gets 5 views instead of 500,000.
• 46:48
  This. Next one I'm going to share has
• 46:50
  562,500 and 62,000 views. They're well, scared because my
• 46:57
  wife, she sent me a message and said she wanted to end our
• 46:59
  relationship. It didn't matter how amazing.
• 47:02
  I knew bad every time. She just wasn't enough reason to
• 47:05
  keep doing this. It's like Jesus, it's
• 47:08
  terrifying. But then when she sent me
• 47:10
  another message and said it was just a wrong number.
• 47:15
  That that was my introduction to you, Jeffrey.
• 47:19
  That's the first one. That was the first one I ever
• 47:21
  saw. I even told my wife because I
• 47:23
  thought it was so funny. And she just kind of looked at
• 47:25
  me like really? I'm like, you don't get it.
• 47:27
  It's hilarious. And that one's not that short,
• 47:30
  right? I mean, the Instagram sweet
• 47:31
  spot's supposed to be 7 to 11 seconds.
• 47:33
  That one's a bit longer. But I, I love that joke.
• 47:35
  I think it's a great joke which is brilliant to set up of it
• 47:38
  everything so. Well, yeah, yeah, cuz, but as as
• 47:41
  you, as you, as you read through it, I remembered it right then.
• 47:44
  And they're like, Oh, yeah, that was the one.
• 47:45
  That was the one that that just that, that it, that's what
• 47:48
  opened the door. Because.
• 47:51
  That was just funny, man. Yeah, it was just funny.
• 47:54
  OK, I've got 22 good fans here so.
• 47:57
  Damn right. Yeah, yeah, buddy, that's cool.
• 48:01
  Yeah. If you if.
• 48:02
  Yeah, boys and girls, If you don't, I'm going to share this.
• 48:04
  If you don't, if you don't know who we're talking about, you
• 48:08
  know, here's here's the here's his main page on Facebook.
• 48:12
  Just go there walking. Dad jokes.
• 48:14
  We need to get you a cover photo, man.
• 48:16
  We need to get you a Facebook cover.
• 48:18
  Yeah, I can. I can help you with that
• 48:20
  brother. I'm open to ideas.
• 48:22
  As yeah, that's The Walking dad. So I'll, I'll help you with that
• 48:25
  over the next few days. I'll send you something.
• 48:27
  You can take a look at it. That would be amazing and you
• 48:30
  can. Decide if you want to use it or
• 48:31
  not. But yeah, so there's.
• 48:33
  Yeah, go ahead, Mike. You know who?
• 48:34
  He looks like in that photo right there.
• 48:35
  Pull that one back up again. Now he almost looks like Robert
• 48:40
  Trujillo from Metallica. Yes, he does.
• 48:43
  That's the new one. And the hair.
• 48:46
  OK, so we're gonna have him come back on as as as the dude from
• 48:49
  Walking Dead and we're gonna have him come back on as Robert
• 48:51
  Trujillo and then. We're yeah, You got to come back
• 48:53
  on as Daryl Dixon and then you got to come back on as Robert
• 48:56
  Trujillo. We're just gonna mess everybody.
• 48:59
  Obviously you know, cuz I work in film, in post production.
• 49:01
  I was at the Berlin Film Festival a year ago and I was
• 49:04
  talking this producer and she and she heard about the
• 49:07
  Instagram. She's like, you don't look
• 49:08
  anything like Norman. He's my buddy.
• 49:11
  Normans like this big and apparently he's not a very tall
• 49:13
  guy and I'm. Like, yeah, no, he's.
• 49:15
  Not it's all perspective, right? If you only see someone on
• 49:17
  television and then you only see me on television.
• 49:19
  And then to be my kids. When my kids first started
• 49:23
  seeing pictures of Norman Reedus, they thought it was me.
• 49:26
  So it isn't, you know, they, they didn't, they didn't, they
• 49:29
  couldn't tell. And obviously now they know that
• 49:31
  there's. Well, it's, it's no different
• 49:32
  than like when you when you watch sports on TV, right?
• 49:35
  You can't tell what's in the NBA that the guys are 7 feet tall.
• 49:38
  You can't tell in football, those guys are 6-8.
• 49:40
  You can't, no. Because everybody else around
• 49:42
  them is the same size. And then you stand next to him,
• 49:45
  and I told Chris I stood next to an NFL offensive lineman about
• 49:49
  two years ago, and it was like looking at a cartoon, man, you
• 49:53
  can't believe how big these people are.
• 49:56
  Yeah, yeah. His hand, my hand disappeared in
• 49:59
  his. It was like.
• 50:00
  Even some, I used to run into some baseball players when I
• 50:02
  spent a couple years in Minneapolis and I worked at a
• 50:04
  company and the owners on the Minnesota Twins.
• 50:06
  So I used to meet some people like company functions and those
• 50:09
  guys are big too. And you're like, it's baseball.
• 50:11
  They don't have to be big, but they're still big like they're.
• 50:13
  Oh yeah? Well, Randy Johnson was Randy
• 50:15
  Johnson the the, you know, 6-9. Yeah.
• 50:18
  Fucking huge. 69 9. 69 So imagine that delivery from home
• 50:22
  plate from. He delivered the ball 6 inches
• 50:26
  closer to home plate than any other pitcher that's ever.
• 50:28
  Left at 100 miles an hour, Jeffrey. 102.
• 50:33
  High school baseball, I was a left-handed pitcher and I was 66
• 50:37
  foot at that age, 6, two or whatever, but I was delivering
• 50:41
  it at maybe around 70 miles an hour.
• 50:43
  That wasn't Randy Johnson so. He was delivering a deadly
• 50:48
  slider at 90 miles an hour. Yeah.
• 50:51
  Yeah, his slider just, it was, it was something to watch, man.
• 50:54
  Just watch that. And you had to watch it on TV
• 50:56
  because watching it live, it didn't do his pitching justice.
• 50:59
  But on TV you could watch that thing drop behind the just drop
• 51:02
  at the batter's knees. And it was just a wicked man,
• 51:04
  like just I don't wicked. I don't want to, you know, you
• 51:08
  guys said, you know, talk, feel free to talk about the The
• 51:11
  Walking Dead. But I, I got to ask you, Kyler
• 51:14
  Murray. I grew up a Vikings fan.
• 51:16
  Kyler Murray. I'm sorry.
• 51:17
  Good or bad, I'm sorry I just I just went on a civilian because
• 51:21
  I don't know. Here's here's the thing.
• 51:23
  I we watched him live a couple times.
• 51:24
  I'm a Giants fan. So but we went to my, my wife's
• 51:27
  a Steelers fan. So we've we've gone to the
• 51:28
  Steelers when they come to Arizona, it's might as well be a
• 51:30
  home game for the Steelers because Arizona, yeah, football
• 51:33
  sucks. Yeah, he is not, he is not a big
• 51:37
  moment quarterback. No.
• 51:38
  So he's he's short. He he's one of the shortest
• 51:41
  quarterbacks in the NFL. So part of the problem is he
• 51:42
  can't. Talking to Drew Brees, right?
• 51:44
  I mean, come on, right? Right, he's shorter than Drew
• 51:46
  Brees, though he's a couple inches shorter than Drew Brees.
• 51:50
  So now the other catch is Arizona destroys players.
• 51:53
  The only two players that have been successful in Arizona was
• 51:55
  Court Warner and Larry Fitzgerald.
• 51:57
  Now, if Larry Fitzgerald would have slid at the 2 yard line,
• 51:59
  they'd have a Super Bowl and then none of the talk would be
• 52:01
  all the negative talk the Cardinals have.
• 52:03
  But he decided to score instead of dropping to a knee and and
• 52:06
  wasting time. Kurt one already came to to
• 52:08
  Arizona as an established quarterback.
• 52:10
  He just left the Giants and he taught Eli, you know, and all
• 52:13
  that kind of jazz. So I don't think Kylie Murray's
• 52:17
  a big a big play quarterback because we watched him in the
• 52:19
  Steelers game. He had a chance to March them
• 52:21
  down the field. Enough time left on the clock
• 52:23
  and he couldn't do it. He choked.
• 52:24
  It's going to be interesting to see what happens in Minnesota,
• 52:27
  right? Minnesota, of course.
• 52:28
  I don't, I don't I Percy, Right, That was good.
• 52:31
  That was a good Minnesota accent, I.
• 52:32
  Just want to think I don't. I don't, I don't, I don't think
• 52:34
  his. I don't think he's, I don't
• 52:35
  think he's as good as Minnesota paid him because I think his
• 52:40
  best years were washed away in Arizona.
• 52:43
  Well, he's proven over and over again that he can't win a big
• 52:46
  game. Right, but they didn't pay him.
• 52:48
  That's the good thing they didn't.
• 52:50
  Yeah, they got him minimum wage. Yeah, OK.
• 52:53
  That's right. That's right.
• 52:54
  That's right. OK.
• 52:54
  So staying in Minnesota's got a one year minimum wage.
• 52:57
  OK, so as long as as long as Minnesota doesn't do a Daniel
• 53:00
  Jones thing or a Kirk Cousins thing after one year?
• 53:05
  Sam Darnold, Yeah. Let's talk about Kirk Cousins
• 53:08
  agent, shall we? That agent is by far the
• 53:11
  greatest agent in all of Major League sports. 100% maybe that's
• 53:14
  what I need. I need to find Kirk Cousins
• 53:16
  agent to help me out with The Walking Dead.
• 53:18
  Cousins Agent. Yes, it's insane.
• 53:22
  And, and all of us, yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, I can't
• 53:25
  believe how much money that guy's made.
• 53:27
  Look at Sam Darnold though. He had the last laugh.
• 53:29
  He went and. Yeah, yeah, moved.
• 53:31
  On and went to the Super Bowl. Good for him, you know, Congrats
• 53:34
  to him. I'm not saying Vikings probably
• 53:37
  wouldn't have made to the Super Bowl with him either, but good
• 53:39
  for him that he did so. Well, and that's the thing with
• 53:42
  with some of these these, these franchises, they don't stick to
• 53:45
  it anymore. They don't.
• 53:47
  It's kind of like music. Like you don't, you don't.
• 53:50
  There's no development. Deal, right?
• 53:52
  You don't put money in anybody anymore because you want it now.
• 53:54
  You want you want you want the the results now.
• 53:58
  I want to build a team now. Even the even even the
• 54:00
  Diamondbacks when they won with with in 91, they built that team
• 54:04
  to win 2. 1001. 2001 Sorry. They built that team to win.
• 54:07
  There was, there was nothing else about that.
• 54:10
  They just wanted that team to win.
• 54:11
  And then it got dismantled the very next year and they blamed
• 54:14
  the manager for not winning another one and how you going to
• 54:17
  win when you sold off all your players?
• 54:19
  And yeah, he's right. They, they basically just built
• 54:22
  that team over, what, maybe 18 months?
• 54:24
  Yep, Yep. Within two years they won a
• 54:27
  World Series. And I mean, they've never done
• 54:29
  anything since. But I mean, in sports, you're
• 54:31
  there to win the World Series, right?
• 54:33
  Or the, or the Super Bowl or whatever it is, right?
• 54:35
  That's it. No one, nobody remembers when
• 54:36
  you come in second place. No, no they don't.
• 54:39
  Very rarely. No, but I can't.
• 54:41
  Wins and a Vikings fan and a Cubs fan.
• 54:44
  There was not a lot of. Happiness, you know, Yeah,
• 54:45
  there's. Not a lot of it's been well,
• 54:47
  Mike was awkward. Mike's a Cubs fan too, so you
• 54:49
  guys got that in common. Oh yeah, all.
• 54:51
  Right there we go. And we had eventually it got
• 54:53
  there, but not when we were young, like it was a long
• 54:56
  drought. No, we had a very bad habit of
• 54:59
  trading away Hall of Fame players, IE Greg Maddox.
• 55:04
  Oh, man, Greg Maddox, he was a star, Yeah.
• 55:06
  We got rid of him right in time for him to become a Hall of Fame
• 55:09
  pitcher for the rest of his career.
• 55:11
  But there's always that question, would he have been?
• 55:13
  Well, he would have been all of them pitcher, but would he have
• 55:15
  won anything with the gobs? Who knows?
• 55:16
  I mean, they just weren't ready for it.
• 55:18
  So yeah, I don't know. I'm strong.
• 55:20
  I want. To share some I want to share
• 55:22
  some more jokes before we wrap this puppy up because.
• 55:24
  Please do. Yeah, yeah.
• 55:25
  Because this is on the Instagram, same same title on
• 55:27
  the Instagram boys and girls, The Walking dad jokes but it's
• 55:30
  under score after between every words.
• 55:31
  The under score walking under score.
• 55:33
  Dad understand. Nothing slows me down more than
• 55:36
  those Rd. signs. When you're driving, you come to
• 55:38
  a bridge and it says draw the bridge.
• 55:42
  Nothing slows me down. Hello me.
• 55:54
  The Americans know Hallow me cheese.
• 55:55
  I've been gone so long I don't even know like.
• 55:58
  I don't, I don't think so. I don't know.
• 56:00
  OK, but it's still. In Europe it's popular.
• 56:01
  Yeah, I got the joke, but no, I don't know that.
• 56:04
  Cheese gonna go on diet this month?
• 56:06
  There's Prague behind me, I. Think I've got too much on my
• 56:09
  plate. I was going to at this museum in
• 56:12
  Vienna and I saw a piano bench with this brown thing on it.
• 56:15
  I think it was Beethoven's last movement was at this museum in
• 56:19
  Vienna. I saw Vienna bench with this
• 56:21
  brown thing on it. I think it was Beethoven's last
• 56:24
  movement. Washing the car with my son.
• 56:26
  I thought it was going really good.
• 56:28
  And then he he said, Dad, can you use a sponge?
• 56:32
  What I remember that one. That's a good one.
• 56:37
  So these are, I mean, this is the advantage of living in
• 56:39
  Prague, by the way, the backgrounds are, are beautiful.
• 56:41
  Yeah, here they are. All of those, all of those
• 56:44
  images, I'm Walking Dead centre frog, just finding different
• 56:47
  things behind me to make it a little bit different each each
• 56:49
  version, but yeah. Your scenery does not hurt.
• 56:52
  You on APR stuff you know you don't want to call people by
• 56:55
  name. So with the woman with the itchy
• 56:57
  vagina, please follow me nurse. She says that this genie PR
• 57:03
  stuff, you know, we can no longer call people by name.
• 57:08
  I recorded that joke when I when I go out and record these jokes,
• 57:13
  you know, I, I have AI have the sheet, but it's not like I use
• 57:17
  it verbatim. I try and think on the spot and
• 57:19
  make it creative. And on that one I recorded
• 57:21
  multiple versions of it where I said would the man with the
• 57:24
  gerbil in his ass please follow me.
• 57:27
  You don't know. And then I just thought, I
• 57:29
  can't, I can't put that out there.
• 57:30
  Yeah. We literally, we, our last
• 57:34
  guest, he was, he ended up being a stand in for Richard Gere.
• 57:37
  He's an actor, super nice guy. He was a stand in for Richard
• 57:39
  Gere. And we said Mike and I had
• 57:41
  talked about that when we were waiting for him to come on
• 57:43
  because I was scrolling through his photos and there he was
• 57:45
  standing with Richard Gere. We're like, do we ask him?
• 57:47
  Do we ask? Him.
• 57:48
  Yeah, we did. And you asked about the that is
• 57:52
  obviously growing up in that time period, remembering that
• 57:55
  moment, that's exactly what he had the best.
• 57:56
  Reaction because he said all his actor friends made fun of him
• 57:59
  for it. So right.
• 58:02
  Yeah. Well.
• 58:04
  Someone was Here's another one down.
• 58:05
  In my own who's just becoming a big country, fan justified, any
• 58:09
  recommendations? And I was like, China's a really
• 58:12
  big country. I got this book on anti gravity.
• 58:17
  It's great. You can't put it down.
• 58:20
  I got that. That's a Steven Wright joke.
• 58:24
  There, that's the that bridge, that bridge behind me is that
• 58:26
  same bridge. Yeah, 1313 forties.
• 58:29
  I hope I'm not corrected by historians, you know, 1340s a
• 58:33
  thoroughfare to to, you know, whatever it crossed east and
• 58:36
  West across the river that didn't have.
• 58:38
  Bridge. That's cool, man.
• 58:39
  Beautiful. That's cool.
• 58:40
  That is, that is. That's very cool.
• 58:42
  Why? She doesn't tell me and she
• 58:43
  orgasms. She's so sweet.
• 58:45
  That one, that was the other one.
• 58:48
  I'm at work. It's coming up and there's a
• 58:50
  few. I think I got her.
• 58:51
  This president nobody can beat. It's a broken drum.
• 58:59
  I just, I looked today at comments on that and someone
• 59:01
  wrote like, like someone was writing really seriously.
• 59:04
  Like that's a stupid present. You should get her like a dress
• 59:07
  or a shirt or. Whatever, I always.
• 59:09
  Wanted. It amazes me sometimes, like if
• 59:11
  people just don't get that it's just fun.
• 59:15
  That is fun. OK, hold on.
• 59:17
  I always wanted to be in the Guinness Book of World Records.
• 59:19
  Finally got there. So he made the world's biggest
• 59:22
  so it should come. Can't believe he pulled it off.
• 59:29
  I had three jokes about the Guinness Book.
• 59:30
  I totally forgot about this one. This is great, right?
• 59:33
  On. Hold on.
• 59:34
  Eating puns got like 2 maybe 3-4 tops.
• 59:40
  Motown Puns. Motown Puns.
• 59:41
  Got like 2 maybe 3-4 tops. A super sexy young couple moved
• 59:47
  in right across the screen from us and right away they made this
• 59:50
  amazingly hot sex tape. I don't know if I should tell
• 59:54
  them about it. Super.
• 59:56
  Sexy young couple moved in. Right away they made this
• 1:00:01
  amazingly hot sex tape. I don't know if I should tell
• 1:00:04
  them about it. My wife complaints.
• 1:00:07
  I'm so lazy, she said when we're mad.
• 1:00:08
  I told her I was interesting. I was like, it sounds
• 1:00:11
  interesting. I said I was interesting.
• 1:00:19
  We can all relate to that, right?
• 1:00:20
  Like I have this funny. I was thinking if I can't
• 1:00:26
  sequence things, you know, with jokes like there's these,
• 1:00:28
  there's two Guinness jokes I told that made me pick up on
• 1:00:31
  popularity. But they were both really adult.
• 1:00:33
  One was a friend of mine got into the Guinness Book of World
• 1:00:36
  Records for the furthest ejaculation.
• 1:00:39
  And I'm, I'm just really proud of how far he's come.
• 1:00:46
  And then, and then the other one I told maybe a week or two later
• 1:00:50
  was my, my penis. The other one is my penis is in
• 1:00:54
  the Guinness Book of World Records.
• 1:00:56
  And it's, it's a true story, actually.
• 1:00:58
  But then the librarian asked me to take it out.
• 1:01:04
  We're going to, we're going to get the ejaculation one.
• 1:01:06
  We're going to make a reel out of that That's funny.
• 1:01:08
  Perfect. That's fun.
• 1:01:11
  I think I published it a year ago but you have to go back in
• 1:01:14
  time. But I was thinking most people I
• 1:01:15
  know don't look back a year so I might try and rerecord it better
• 1:01:18
  but we'll see. Publish.
• 1:01:20
  I've, I've learned that a little bit that, that in the algorithms
• 1:01:23
  world, if you go back and republish something that had a
• 1:01:26
  lot of views, it's supposed to kind of recirculate and recycle
• 1:01:29
  and, and, and bring, you know, bring back that attention.
• 1:01:32
  Because you're right, nobody's going to go down.
• 1:01:34
  I went down your entire Facebook reels purposely because we were
• 1:01:37
  on the show. Yeah, Right.
• 1:01:39
  Yeah. And then I wanted to go down
• 1:01:40
  your Instagram just so people can see the Instagram.
• 1:01:42
  But the more and more fans you pick up, the more and more
• 1:01:45
  people are going to go down the rabbit hole.
• 1:01:48
  And, you know, it's kind of fun sometimes on Instagram.
• 1:01:50
  I'll do it where I'll scroll. I'll just keep scrolling till I
• 1:01:52
  get the very beginning because I want to see how they started.
• 1:01:55
  Yeah, but I'm weird like that. No, but I think that's that's
• 1:01:59
  what I meant when I said his page was easy to digest.
• 1:02:02
  I can't think of just a handful of pages where what you just
• 1:02:08
  described, you know, like I'll go all the way back and say
• 1:02:12
  where did this guy start? Because it's your style, you
• 1:02:15
  know, you have the same. Chris asked how you recorded
• 1:02:18
  them doing it with The Walking stick every time, with the
• 1:02:22
  different scenery, you're easily recognizable, right?
• 1:02:26
  It's like, hey, I know that as soon as I'm screwed from the
• 1:02:29
  clips, I know right away that's The Walking Dead.
• 1:02:32
  So I'm going to stop. Yeah.
• 1:02:33
  Yeah, Yep, The Walking Dead. That's a format.
• 1:02:35
  Walking Dead and a friend of mine A friend of mine designed
• 1:02:37
  this new shirt for me about half a year ago.
• 1:02:39
  I've been wearing that and I. Love.
• 1:02:41
  It it is. I thought about changing it but
• 1:02:43
  this. But then I'm like I don't want
• 1:02:44
  to lose the identity. Once in a while I publish a
• 1:02:46
  joke. I think there's like 3 on there
• 1:02:48
  with my wife usually being skeptical but I think a little
• 1:02:53
  bit of breakup. But otherwise I think just The
• 1:02:54
  Walking and selfie stick it works.
• 1:02:57
  No, I there's one works, man, Yeah.
• 1:02:59
  Stick to what works I guess. I think it's, I think it's
• 1:03:01
  great. I'm going funny when I go out
• 1:03:03
  and record. I record 20 to 40 jokes.
• 1:03:05
  I'm going out this weekend so if you have any joke ideas please
• 1:03:10
  send them. You could you could, you know,
• 1:03:12
  create a Chris and Mike joke. We won't be mad at you.
• 1:03:15
  No, All right, all right. That would be about that, yeah.
• 1:03:17
  You know that. 'D be good.
• 1:03:18
  I can I can post it with a link to the when the to the podcast,
• 1:03:21
  when it's when it yeah. And Yeah, because we, because
• 1:03:23
  we're going to send you a bunch of stuff you can use, and we and
• 1:03:25
  Mark and Mike marked the show where you just told those
• 1:03:28
  Guinness Book jokes. So you're going to see us
• 1:03:29
  populate those as reels and tag you in it because.
• 1:03:32
  All right, that's funny shit, man.
• 1:03:33
  And really, I was seriously. Next time you go to Chicago,
• 1:03:35
  when you go back home and see your family, you should just do
• 1:03:38
  a do an improv drop. Mike, what are they called?
• 1:03:40
  Open mic? Because I'd really you only you
• 1:03:42
  only go for 5-10 minutes. You don't have a long set.
• 1:03:44
  Yeah, it's 5-10 minutes and you could bust that out pretty easy
• 1:03:48
  just walking on the stage and doing your pauses and stuff as
• 1:03:51
  though it just would be. Depending on the length of the
• 1:03:55
  jokes, it's fire. 9:50 to 30 jokes, but whatever.
• 1:03:58
  Yeah. Right.
• 1:03:59
  What would be funnier is you go out there with your selfie stick
• 1:04:02
  and you just tell the crowd, I'm recording this from my
• 1:04:04
  Instagram. You just start walking with your
• 1:04:05
  selfie stick because that that alone would be, what the fuck is
• 1:04:07
  this guy doing if I didn't see you before?
• 1:04:10
  And then as you're doing the thing, you'll get that reaction
• 1:04:13
  from the crowd. And.
• 1:04:14
  Then I'll be like or not. And then I'll be like, sorry
• 1:04:16
  guys, can you be quiet please? I'm trying I'm.
• 1:04:18
  Really. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:04:20
  That's what. There's your pet, Jeffrey.
• 1:04:23
  There's your pet. Man, and if you're gonna do
• 1:04:25
  that, let me know and I'll come see.
• 1:04:26
  Yeah, myself, that'd. Be, but you'll have to be quiet
• 1:04:29
  like you have to. I will remain quiet as a church
• 1:04:32
  mom, yeah. When I go back to you outside,
• 1:04:34
  I'm going back to Minneapolis, but I have friends in Arizona.
• 1:04:37
  Yeah, well, and Minneapolis, you're gonna have open mics
• 1:04:40
  nights there too. You're gonna have, you'll find a
• 1:04:42
  spot. And if you do that, let us know
• 1:04:44
  because then we'll have you come back on afterwards.
• 1:04:46
  And if you share with us how it worked, all right, would be
• 1:04:49
  awesome that. Would be welcome.
• 1:04:51
  Back here anytime brother man, like the amount of clips that's
• 1:04:54
  going to come out of this show alone is probably more than
• 1:04:57
  we've. Hey guys, look, it's I, I can't
• 1:04:59
  wait to see it. I'm really curious as I don't I
