  Speaker 1: So we were just talking about how I booked you,

  Speaker 1: you been done? What is your comedy like? Who are you?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Um.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I've been doing comedy for a long time. I started
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: comedy in 2010. I started in Orlando, Florida. I moved
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: to L.A. in 2016. I started doing comedy there. I
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: was there for four years. Then I booked Late Night.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I did Late Night, and I wrote on this TV
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: show on BET with Wanda Sykes. And then after I
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: finished doing that, I used that money to move to
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: New York because I hated L.A.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: And....
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I've been in New York ever since. I'm a regular
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: on Godfrey's podcast. I'm a regular on Way Up With
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Andrea Lee on the radio.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: And I've done a bunch of podcasts. I did Nicole
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Byers' podcast. I did Horrible Decisions. And now I'm currently
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: on tour.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: And coming to Sacramento. I am.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I'm coming to Sacramento.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: The hot spot Sacramento, I bet.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It's actually my first time in Sacramento.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Okay. Very cool. Uh, I, I agree with your, um,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: dislike for LA every time I, anytime I drive into LA,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you know, as soon as I hit the grapevine, I've just,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you know, it's all, uh, LA from there.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I think it's really pretty and I love my time there.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I got to play a lot of tennis. I And
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: it was what it was.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It's just not a city for me.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I absolutely love New York and I'm very happy to be,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: although it's freezing, but besides that, it's great.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I know you guys just had like a super huge
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: cold front.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we had like two blizzards.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I was stuck in Atlanta. I was doing gigs in
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Atlanta and I was stuck for like two days.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: But was it better to be stuck out of it
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: or would you have rather been stuck in it? I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: would have, I was.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Cool being stuck in, Out of it because I was
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: in Atlanta and I love Atlanta. But if I was
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: in a city that I hated, I.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Would have rallied at home. That makes sense.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: But Atlanta's great, so I didn't mind.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That's very cool. Very cool. Well, we're looking forward to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: having you at Laughs Unlimited. I can't wait to see you.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And like I said, it's very odd for me not
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to see a comic before I book them. So hopefully
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: nobody finds out that there's a secret back way entrance
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to get into Laughs Unlimited.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that won't be the case unless they listen
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to this podcast. Oh!
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Well, there's the problem. It's not a secret anymore. Well,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that's very cool. I'm super excited to have you. I'm
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: super excited to meet you. I have had no worries
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: about it. Like I said, it wasn't until we were
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: getting ready to do this podcast that I was like, where?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: But Carlos said that you also have done Big Pine,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: so I probably have seen you.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Probably.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: But that was a few years ago.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: That was a long, I think it was 2018 or 2019. Oh, wow.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Either 2018 or 2017. I don't remember exactly, but it
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: was a long time ago. Like this was back when
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I still lived in LA.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And so was that, was that when it was still
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: in Flagstaff?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I believe it was. Yeah.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So that might've been, that's probably right around the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: time that I started going, but Big Pine's great. They're
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: doing it in Chandler this year. It's actually in a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: few weeks.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's amazing.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I had a fun time when I was there. It was,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: it was, it was good.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: It was a, A long time ago, so I don't
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: remember it. But I remember we went to the Grand
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Canyon and I saw moose.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, at the Grand Canyon? Uh-huh. Well, on the way, probably.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: No, at the Grand Canyon. It was like a huge moose.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I took a video. I remember taking a video
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: because I drove up there with a few LA comics.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: And we went to the Grand Canyon on one of
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the days just because it was close by.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: And I remember I saw a moose. I took a video.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's kind of cool. Yeah. We did the tour
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: at the Grand Canyon where you like go down inside
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of it and see the machinery and stuff and how
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it all works. It was Grand Canyon is really actually
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: very technical. If you think about it, like even the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: building of it and everything, it's pretty awesome.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't do the tour. We probably should have,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: but it was still fun.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. And you know what I love when
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I loved, to do like little side trips like that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you know having people get together and and you know
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: just doing side quests and little road trips i love
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: road trips so.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Me too i'm tired of them sometimes but they're still
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: fun after.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Well yeah being a road comic and and being out
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a lot i could see that but you know when
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: it's a fun thing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: It's different yeah i agree um uh.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I was trying to think, is, are there any other
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: festivals that you have done that you would recommend? Like
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: as a comic, just, I really.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Like this festival.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I did laughing school years ago. That was really fun.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I did, what is that one that I did?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: That was amazing. But this was like invite only high planes,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: high planes in Denver.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. High planes in Denver was probably one of my
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: favorite festivals.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I haven't, I haven't even heard of that one. That's awesome.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: But invite only, that's very cool. Is it like week long,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: just a few days?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: It's like a long weekend. So I think it's Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I believe.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: What made it your favorite?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It was just great. It was invite only. It paid
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: really well.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: It was one of those festivals where everyone that I,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: like people that I'm very good friends with are all
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: on the festivals.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. That makes a difference too.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And I just generally like Denver. I've always loved Denver.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So it was a really fun trip.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Denver. I've spent some time... Both of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: my parents are from Denver, so I have spent my
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: fair share of time in Denver.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really pretty city. I go like once
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: or twice a year, so it was a really fun time.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Very cool, very cool. Okay, are you ready for some
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: trivia questions? How do you feel about trivia in general?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I feel like I might be good at it. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: guess we'll find out.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It is a variety of topics, and if there... really
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: bad we just blamed carlos because he came up with
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: them that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Is totally fine i'm all about blaming carlos.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Yes have you met you've um carlos said he met
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you and that you're hilarious he also stamped you thank
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you uh okay are we ready question number one how
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: many indiana jones films are there.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Too many.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Didn't even like one.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Um, let's see. I didn't like any, I didn't like,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch them. Not that I didn't like them,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to guess three.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, not too, not too far off. It was five.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Probably three was enough.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It was four and five probably weren't as good.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I think most things should just be trilogies.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of things need to go
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: past the trilogy.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I could agree with that. I think, um, when, what
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is it? Fast and the Furious, uh, wasn't the last
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: one a some sort of space thing or whatever i was.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Like yeah i've seen zero out of however many facets
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: i've seen none.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Of it nice i have seen i haven't seen them
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: all for sure and i went i went to see
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: one just because i like going to the movies and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: i was like ah i'll go see this and i
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: took a friend who hadn't seen any of them i
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: was like well it's not really a plot type.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Of thing it's just it's just right.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna miss anything and then i went and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: i was like actually i haven't seen a couple because
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: now somebody else they're back to life or something i
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: said oh i don't know i don't know what number
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: we're on i.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Got a question then i got a question what's your
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: guys's favorite trilogy then oh that is a good question
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: favorite trilogy i have to see off the top of
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: my head i can't even think of.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Any trilogies uh so i'm gonna do some googling.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna i'm gonna say i don't know about favorite
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: trilogies but trilogies i've enjoyed like i like the divergent.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Series divergent was great i agree.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Um i liked hunger games but it's kind of getting
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: weird now because it's not a trilogy anymore now we've
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: added snakes and songbirds.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Well i think i think that can kind of be
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: a trilogy because they're doing prequels.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: That's okay i don't think it still counts.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Hunger Games is definitely one. Oh, Matrix. Matrix,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, Matrix.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Matrix is my answer. Okay.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Final answer.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Final answer, Matrix.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Carlos, what's yours?
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go Back to the Future. Part 1, 2,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: and 3. I like Back to the Futures a lot.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah. Back to the Futures were good. Okay. Um.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Name all the original colors of the Power Rangers.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, there's blue, yellow, white, red, black, and pink.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: There's a green.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought I said green. Yeah, green.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Well, you said white, which isn't on my answer, but
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I thought there was a.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: White one too.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't one of the original ones.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Was he not the original?
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: He was the guy with the little sword and he
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: played the stupid little....
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Carlos likes to be tricky with these questions. No, he
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: changed to white later.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: He was originally green. Oh.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And there's Eliana. Thank you to our engineers. The Power
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Ranger kids.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Well, I stand corrected. And I thought he was one
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: of the originals. But then again, when I was watching
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Power Rangers, I was in middle school.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. Right, right.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: We weren't right. I wasn't paying. That's what I was thinking, too.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know. I know that there
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: was a red one and a black one. You got
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: more than I would have got. I would have just
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: guessed all the primary colors.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was going for.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: But OK, let's see. Question number three. Noah Wiley is
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the star of what two shows based on hospitals?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: The Pit, which was amazing. It's an Emmy. Yeah.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Emmy award winning show that I love. And then, what
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: is the other one? I didn't watch the other one.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: But it's really popular. So The Pit is the one.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: And then, not Grey's Anatomy. What's the other hospital drama?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I know, and it was on forever, too.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: It was on forever. And I literally never watched it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I was afraid of watching The Pit because I was like,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is this just going to be a remake of the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: first one.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: No it's so.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Much yeah i've heard i've heard great things about the pit.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Dang i guess i'm just gonna get a partial point
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: i don't know it's the pit it's not gray's anatomy
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: it's not what's another hospital.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Drama if you get hurt you go to the oh.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah the er okay so the pit and you
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: know i didn't watch it y'all but the pit is
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: amazing Yes.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I haven't watched it yet, but I have heard
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: great things about it. And so it's on my list
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of things to do.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He's a great actor and it helps that he's,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: he's hot.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hello.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Number question. Number four, how many tablespoons are in a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: stick of butter?
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Who am I? Betty Crockett. I don't know.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, so close. So close.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Was I? It's eight. Oh, it is close. Yeah, I've
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: never baked. I baked once and it came out terribly.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Not a baker.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I baked.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: During the pandemic, I baked a red velvet cake and
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: it was not good.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I think during the pandemic was when everybody tried their
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: culinary skills.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I have the time.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I almost burnt down my apartment numerous times.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. Let's not do that. Were you in, so
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: with your timeline, were you in New York during the pandemic?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: No, thankfully I was in LA.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I was in LA with a bunch of roommates, which
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: was great because it was like fun.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: And we were like, I live by myself in New
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: York and that would have been a nightmare.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Right. Well, and plus New York was the, I don't know.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I would say epicenter, but it
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: was in the middle of all the media.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: It was probably harder in New York because New York
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: is such a congested city.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: LA is, is decently spread out and we were playing
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: all the comics in LA. We're playing tennis. Like it
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: was fine.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: So I was in LA.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Um, all right. What year did the iPhone come out?
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. I might be able to know that. Okay.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: So I, cause I remember I didn't get my first
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: phone until my junior year in high school and it
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: was a flip phone. So my junior high school was 2009. Um,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: But I feel like I was also really poor. So
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: there probably was better phones out. I just couldn't afford them.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say 2011.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: It was 2007.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Really?

  Speaker 1: picture from my flip phone and you can't text a
• 14:33

  Speaker 1: neither one, actually.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, which one was it?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I'm a grown little man.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I guess so.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I thought it was the laugh of my pain was
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: probably my favorite one. Maybe that's why I thought it
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: was his first.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: But you were like, that was the first one I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: paid attention to.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: But no, yeah, I remember that when I'm a grown
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: little man.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm wrong. I didn't know.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Do you have any specials out?
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I'm working on something right now, but I have nothing.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Besides the late night set and a don't tell set
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: and a crack set, but no hours set out yet.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Do you have a name planned for it? I know
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: comics a lot of times are like, my first special
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: is going to be named.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: No, I think it depends on what the theme of
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: the special is going to be yet, and I'm still
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: trying to figure that out.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: So no name at the moment.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right. Last question is, Oh, this is supposed
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to be Final Jeopardy. You can wager your points if
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you want. So you have four points. Okay. If you
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: want to wager any points or you can, it'll just
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: be worth one point.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I'll wager all four points. Why not?
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Go for broke. Yeah. Okay. What failed
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: music streaming service was founded by rapper Jay-Z?
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Failed? Failed.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Failed.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: It's a music streaming service.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Streaming.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Spotify is what I use. Apple Music is not LimeWire
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: because LimeWire wasn't a streaming service. That was a program
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: we used back in the early 2000s to give out
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: computer viruses.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: It really was.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Was it... What did he... Huh.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: What streaming service did Jay-Z have that failed?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Like failed as in went bankrupt?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I assume so. Carlos?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: How did the streaming service fail? Like it went bankrupt?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Bankrupt and no longer exists.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Okay. That's definitely failing. What? Oh, oh, oh, okay. Was
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: it like, ah, fuck, fuck, fuck. It was like something
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: like Tide or... Boom. That's what it was?
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Carlos is going to give it to you right there. Yeah,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: it's Tidal.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Tidal, yeah.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. There you go. You got it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Yay. How many points? Oh, eight points.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Something like that.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Title.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was but we'll give you nine anyways.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Perfect i'm glad.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Yes okay so when you go to a new city
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: what's the first thing you do is there something that
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you know you look for a restaurant or.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Uh i love brunch so when i i i usually
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: find a place to get breakfast um I usually look
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: for a gym. I'm renting a car this time, so
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I'll look to see if there's a gym nearby. And then, typically,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: if it's a city I've never gone to, I'll turn
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: on Grindr and see what gays are around.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Hey, well, we do have two. Actually, I was going
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: to say we have two gay clubs, but we have
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a whole gay district. The crosswalks are painted rainbow. Oh, nice. Uh-huh,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: so Faces or Badlands. Those are the nightclubs to check out.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: If you want to get twisted, you go to the Merc,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: because they pour... I would say they pour heavy, but
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: it's not they pour heavy. They just pour the mixers light.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Noted. I don't drink, so I'll still probably go there
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: and hang out, though.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, it's a good hangout. And then.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: What was the other thing I was going to say? Oh,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: for brunch, Tower Cafe. Oh, I love Tower Cafe. It's
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the best. I love Tower Cafe.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: I'm very excited about that. Yeah, I love cafes. What's
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: the weather in Sacramento?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Is it humid? Is it cold?
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: No, it's beautiful. We pay to live in Northern California
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: for a reason. I think it's supposed to hit 90
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: this week, but that's a little warm. We're mid-70s right now.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, hopefully it's that way. When I get there.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: April 3rd and 4th, by the way, I will be there.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: April 3rd and 4th.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I'm flying into San Francisco because I have a one-nighter
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: there on the 2nd, and then I'm renting a car
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: and driving.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: How far of a drive is that?
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: It depends on how you drive, but it's like an
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: hour and a half.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's not bad.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it'll be an easy... Are you
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: coming up on Friday?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I'll probably.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I have a hotel for the night that
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: I'm staying in San Francisco because they put me up.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: So I'll probably check out of the hotel in the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: morning and drive up.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Okay. I was going to say, don't leave too late
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: on Friday because the worst time to drive out of
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: San Francisco is Friday evenings.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, no, no. I'll leave in the morning.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: That hour and a half drive turns into a four,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: four and a half hour drive very easily. Oh, no.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going to leave at like probably 10. Whenever my
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: hotel checkout is, that's.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: What I'm going to leave.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of commuters that come. They live
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: up in the Sacramento area, and then they commute to
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: San Francisco. And then they live down there during the week,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and then they come back up on the weekends. It's
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: an interesting dynamic. So we get a lot of San
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Francisco influx in the last, especially after COVID. You saw
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of people move up here.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Well, that makes sense.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Because San Francisco is the most expensive city to live in.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: New York is second, but San Francisco is number one.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Really? San Francisco is more expensive to live in than
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: New York?
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I think as of last year, the numbers came out
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: and San Francisco was number one and New York was
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: number two.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I would not have guessed that. That's interesting.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, San Francisco is expensive.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, for sure. I figured New York. I don't
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: know how I got onto it, but you know how
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: you get in your algorithm every now and again where
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: they show... um, apartments and it's like these little tiny
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: apartments for thousands of dollars a month. And you're like,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: it's like a shoe box.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: But a lot of those are just for, it's exaggeration
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: to paint like it, like, Oh my God, if you
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: live in New York, you're going to, that's like the, those,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, the rent is ridiculous.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. A hundred percent.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: But if you do dig in and if you do
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: research and if you, you can find something that's not
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: insane and, And it's not all shoeboxes or whatever. But obviously,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: if you want to go viral and get views, you
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: got to show the shoeboxes that doesn't have a bathroom.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to show the extreme. You can't just
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: show normal things. Look, here's a one-bedroom apartment for reasonable rent.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Who's going to watch that?
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they don't want too many people to move
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: there either.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah. I mean, New York is cool. And accessible. Exactly. Yeah.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Do you go to many Broadway or have you seen
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: many Broadway shows while you're there?
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: I haven't. I've lived in New York for a while now.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: When I'm not working and doing shows, I don't go
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: out too much. I'm kind of a homebody just because
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I have to be outside for work so much. I
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: have to do shows and do podcasts and do TV
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: things and blah, blah, blah.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: So when I'm.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Not technically working, I am not really outside like that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I've been to a few plays with friends and stuff
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: like that. But I don't go out often, though.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I'm the same way. People always ask, you know, what's
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: there to do in Sacramento? And I'm like, other than
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Laughs Unlimited, I don't know. I'm here. This is what
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I do every night. I don't have to go out.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I am out.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Because when I tour, I'll go out. Like when
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I tour and go to different cities, I'll.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: I'll go to like, you know, go to a diner
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: or go to an event or go to see the
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: local gay club or.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Whatever, whatever. But when I'm home, I pay too much
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: rent to not be in my apartment.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I understand that. Plus, I mean, home is home for
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: a reason. It's comfortable and, you know, it's where you
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: get to really be you and not have to, I mean,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: not perform, but not have to accommodate anybody.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Exactly. So I'm happy to be at home. But now
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: if someone invites me to something, I'll go.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: But I'm not out here looking for plans.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right, right, right. Well, I appreciate you taking
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the time. And I look forward to seeing you in
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks. We're going to have a
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: great time out here.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to see you guys. And yeah, I'm super excited.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I will see you guys April 3rd and 4th.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Sounds good. Thank you. Yep.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Bye.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Bye.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Awesome. You guys need anything else from me?
