3:25
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, so I I thought I was gonna get the ticket link sooner.
3:30
SPEAKER_00: So I was gonna release this sooner, but it didn't come out the the time I thought it was gonna come out, so that's why I had to delay the episode.
3:38
SPEAKER_00: But you know what?
3:39
SPEAKER_00: It is what it is.
3:40
SPEAKER_00: It is what it is.
3:42
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, what's up y'all freaking?
3:46
SPEAKER_00: I've I've been on the fence about you ever see like a news story and you just know everybody's gonna be talking about it.
3:55
SPEAKER_00: And then I'm like, well, should I give my take?
4:00
SPEAKER_00: You know, because when you go to these shows and you go to open mics, and it's like, oh, there's 20 people on the open mic, and 19 of them have a take about this thing.
4:08
SPEAKER_00: Should I should I be the one with the funniest take?
4:12
SPEAKER_00: Should I be the one with the most unique take?
4:16
SPEAKER_00: Well thought out take?
4:19
SPEAKER_00: Well-versed take?
4:20
SPEAKER_00: Is that what it should be?
4:22
SPEAKER_00: Or should I just not talk about it because it's gonna be boring and everybody's gonna talk about it?
4:28
SPEAKER_00: And of course, you might be wondering, what thing would everybody be talking about?
4:33
SPEAKER_00: And what is the fact that Donald Trump?
4:36
SPEAKER_00: I know, so unique.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: That Donald Trump said Nicki Minaj has just a beautiful cheeks.
4:44
SPEAKER_00: And he wasn't talking about her face.
4:46
SPEAKER_00: He said, Nicki Minaj, beautiful booty, beautiful booty.
4:52
SPEAKER_00: He's like, you know what I don't miss?
4:54
SPEAKER_00: I would never miss a beautiful booty like that.
4:57
SPEAKER_00: Nicki Minaj, man, she got a nice booty.
5:00
SPEAKER_00: He goes, stand up, show it to everybody, stand up, spin around.
5:05
SPEAKER_00: And then, I don't know if you guys notice this, but if you watch the video and and when he says stand around and she stands up, he licks his lips.
5:15
SPEAKER_00: He licks his lips, and it's just it's freaking gross.
5:21
SPEAKER_00: And look, it's like I I get it.
5:23
SPEAKER_00: I know presidents cheat on their wives, okay?
5:26
SPEAKER_00: I know they do.
5:27
SPEAKER_00: I'm not oblivious.
5:29
SPEAKER_00: You know, there's Bill Clinton very famously did the thing with the secretary.
5:34
SPEAKER_00: Uh I don't I don't want to say her name or or I don't even really remember her name.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: Um that's a person who should not be famous.
5:42
SPEAKER_00: That that was a hawk, that was the original Hawk Tua girl, was her.
5:47
SPEAKER_00: Um, and you also have JFK very famously was you know having parties and and and and sleeping with women, and a lot of people speculate that that could be why he was murdered, because you know, he was sleeping around with a lot of women, and there was a lot of stuff happening and all that.
6:09
SPEAKER_00: So, you know, it's just I'm not oblivious to those things, but it's like usually it's not so blatant that that someone's you know like this guy is the president of the country, and he's like, yo, this woman's just freaking it's I can't miss like no one can miss this.
6:30
SPEAKER_00: It's so beautiful.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: It's so beautiful.
6:32
SPEAKER_00: Her butt is just wow.
6:35
SPEAKER_00: It's a it's an American butt, it's a wonderful butt.
6:39
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, no, I don't think I just want to talk about it all day at the freaking at the open mics because everybody's gonna be talking about it, you know?
6:45
SPEAKER_00: But and you know, it at least what I would say is that like he's like, you know, I I couldn't miss it.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: It's like yeah, neither can anyone else.
6:52
SPEAKER_00: Nobody else can miss it.
6:55
SPEAKER_00: You know?
6:55
SPEAKER_00: It's like a it's like a it's like a giant zit on someone's forehead.
6:59
SPEAKER_00: Like everyone can see it, but none of us are talking about it.
7:02
SPEAKER_00: You know?
7:04
SPEAKER_00: None of us are talking about that in front of our wives.
7:07
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
7:08
SPEAKER_00: Everybody knows who's got a big butt, you know?
7:12
SPEAKER_00: But none of us are gonna be like, hey, you know what?
7:14
SPEAKER_00: You know what's worth getting divorced over?
7:16
SPEAKER_00: Talking about Nicki Minaj's butt.
7:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
7:21
SPEAKER_00: No, well, I'm good.
7:22
SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
7:23
SPEAKER_00: I'm good.
7:25
SPEAKER_00: It's like, what the fick?
7:27
SPEAKER_00: This guy is just I mean, like, I know he doesn't care.
7:31
SPEAKER_00: You like I get it, he doesn't care.
7:33
SPEAKER_00: But like I love too how the audience is just like just going along with it, like, woo! That was just that was something.
7:46
SPEAKER_00: That's America.
7:48
SPEAKER_00: That's America.
7:49
SPEAKER_00: That was a very American thing that happened.
7:51
SPEAKER_00: Very American.
7:53
SPEAKER_00: What are you gonna do?
7:56
SPEAKER_00: What else?
7:57
SPEAKER_00: What else?
7:58
SPEAKER_00: What else?
7:58
SPEAKER_00: What else?
7:58
SPEAKER_00: What else?
7:59
SPEAKER_00: What else?
8:00
SPEAKER_00: Um Yeah.
8:07
SPEAKER_00: That's crazy.
8:09
SPEAKER_00: Um I found that there's uh a writing style that somebody suggested to me.
8:18
SPEAKER_00: Well, not necessarily a writing style, but just uh an idea for writing of writing things based on emotion.
8:27
SPEAKER_00: You know, I've been trying to, you know, cultivate some new material, and you know, this person told me that it's it's very easy to kind of spawn ideas and and premises off of things that you might feel one way or the other about, passionate or emotional about in one way or another, if you just write down, like based on each feeling, what you feel about certain things.
8:54
SPEAKER_00: So, like, oh, what things make you angry, what things make you happy, what things bring you joy, what things you know make you sad, you know, all those things, and you and you write those things down, and then you know, maybe you can spawn ideas off of those things about why.
9:12
SPEAKER_00: Or your lack of knowledge, why.
9:17
SPEAKER_00: Um, and so that's something I've um started exercising, and I'm gonna try and come up with some new material.
9:30
SPEAKER_00: Well, not try, I'm I'm gonna do I'm gonna come up.
9:33
SPEAKER_00: Why did why don't we say uh oh maybe I'll maybe I'll do it.
9:36
SPEAKER_00: I'm doing it right now.
9:39
SPEAKER_00: Trying to come up with some new material.
9:41
SPEAKER_00: Frick! I'm coming up with new material.
9:44
SPEAKER_00: Not trying.
9:45
SPEAKER_00: I'm not trying to as if I can't.
9:47
SPEAKER_00: I'm I'm writing new material.
9:49
SPEAKER_00: I'm in the process of writing new material.
9:52
SPEAKER_00: Um as every comic should be, writing new material.
9:56
SPEAKER_00: And not because the material I'm saying right now is getting necessarily stale or old, but I know there will be a day where I don't do this material anymore.
10:08
SPEAKER_00: So obviously I I want to hone it as I'm still pretty new in this game.
10:12
SPEAKER_00: I want to hone it, make sure that it is, you know, very good and and and and it's tight, it's classy, that it's freaking, you know, my my club's best.
10:26
SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
10:27
SPEAKER_00: But as far as um doing you know little smaller shows, doing open mics, you know, it's I'm trying to to get some new stuff together, and I I think it's an interesting way to do it from like a side of your emotions, like how you're feeling and um yeah, what you feel about a certain subject and things like that.
10:48
SPEAKER_00: Um because you can you can get pretty passionate about things.
10:51
SPEAKER_00: I I I want to use I feel like I don't use the the animated abilities that I have well enough, you know, because I definitely can be more animated and do better act outs.
11:06
SPEAKER_00: You know, I I need to I need to write things that will allow me to explore that.
11:18
SPEAKER_00: And I just haven't, you know, utilized that to the extent that I should have.
11:26
SPEAKER_00: And so I'm excited to continue exploring that.
11:30
SPEAKER_00: I'm excited that uh, you know, I'm gonna get some bits together.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: I don't know, my bra I have like a brain fart right now.
11:43
SPEAKER_00: Yes, I'm very excited.
11:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna put bits together and do some act outs.
11:46
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'm trying to lock in right now.
11:48
SPEAKER_00: I was a little stressed out there for a moment.
11:50
SPEAKER_00: I just like you know, like you come over a hill and you just see traffic.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: Well, it's 30 minutes until I'm supposed to start work, which should be plenty of time considering I I'm I'm 13 minutes away from work, but 30 minutes of traffic would be detrimental.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: I've never been late to work.
12:07
SPEAKER_00: Um, I don't know if I mentioned on the pod, but there was one day where I clocked in at 6 a.m.
12:15
SPEAKER_00: and like 51 seconds or something.
12:19
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was almost 6.01.
12:23
SPEAKER_00: I almost got in big trouble.
12:26
SPEAKER_00: And and that just really stressed me out.
12:28
SPEAKER_00: So I just I felt a wave of stress tongue tie me there for a moment.
12:32
SPEAKER_00: That's why I was feeling like that.
12:34
SPEAKER_00: But I think I'm okay.
12:35
SPEAKER_00: I'm not that far away from work.
12:38
SPEAKER_00: Please, God, please, not today.
12:42
SPEAKER_00: Please, not today.
12:43
SPEAKER_00: Speaking of praying to God, it was so funny.
12:46
SPEAKER_00: I was on fantasy football, and obviously I'm I'm freaking in 11th place out of 12 because I'm a freaking master.
12:53
SPEAKER_00: And I was looking at the waiver wire, I was looking at the free agents that you can get for your team, and there's a free agent that's trending right now, and there's a guy who because you can leave comments on the players, you know, if you have if you have something that you want to say about the player, or if you know other people should pick him up or whatever.
13:12
SPEAKER_00: Um, some people just say, like, you know, go ISIS or whatever.
13:16
SPEAKER_00: And there's this guy on there that's been praying every day for a player to get traded so that this guy will have more opportunities on the team.
13:23
SPEAKER_00: And he writes out like a full-length.
13:26
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't look like it's chat GPT.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: It looks real.
13:29
SPEAKER_00: He writes out like a full-length prayer every day on the fantasy football comments for this player, for the single player.
13:37
SPEAKER_00: You can only see it if you go to this player, and he's just like, oh god, please, please let this guy get traded off the team uh so that this player can get more opportunities.
13:47
SPEAKER_00: And and Lord, I hope that you forgive me and that you hear this prayer, and then I'll come back the next day.
13:53
SPEAKER_00: He's like, Lord, clearly you didn't hear uh my last prayer.
13:58
SPEAKER_00: He's like, Lord, I really need this.
14:00
SPEAKER_00: Lord, I don't know if you understand my embarrassment, but my friends are laughing at me, and I really need a good running back.
