• 2:06
  Speaker 2: far away, so yeah, it's uh, it's something where are
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you based out of so I'm based out of the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Chicago area. I know on your profiles is you're based
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: out of the Florida area. Correct.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, weird comedy club there, Zany's.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You know what. We have been trying to go to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Zany's for a while, but like and against one of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: those like things like we got that make excuses every
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: time we try. Like, I've been to a few comedy clubs. Uh,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: there's actually unfortunately not so many anymore. There's a there
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: was a few in Milwaukee. There really isn't at the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: moment or last I checked.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Chicago, my god, they have Zane They got
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: like four or five Zanies, these other comedy clubs everywhere.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: There's actually one of the northern suburbs for people in
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Chicago area near the UH, I believe oak Brook area,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: which actually gets some pretty big names. Actually, I think
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Ari Spears are just they're not that long ago. They
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: get again, they get they get some pretty big names there,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: which is funny because for me I'm like that's like
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a little tiny mall, but like, hey, you know they're here.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Go see.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I think what is the groundlings is in Chicago to
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the improv or sketch group.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, oh yeah yeah, and then uh oh what
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: was the big oh man, I forget, like what the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Big Citizens Brigade there too, because so those are the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: they pulled from they pulled from there for Saturday Night Live. Yeah, yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that's what I say, because like I think, wasn't what
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: isn't Farley down he did a couple of things in
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Chicago before us.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: And now, if if I'm if I remember correctly, Groundlings
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: a tunnel cast members have come out of the of
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: the Groundlings in Chicago.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Chicago just not even just the city,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: just the general area itself is just a great area
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: because like I like I live, I don't say exact
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: where like I'm like in then I'll say I got
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the halfway point. No, I'm not gonna say halfway. I'm
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: closer to Chicago than I am Milwaukee. But for us,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: like we can hop on the we can hop on
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the highway within like five minutes, like we're that we're
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: not that far from the major highway to get too.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, good old Wisconsin, good old Op's got the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you know, brandy old fashions, cheese curds, the uh, the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: whole brigade.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: A buddy of mine moved from Wisconsin to in my
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: neighborhood and opened up a Culvers, which we had never.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So he so let me get so, he came from
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin to your neck of the woods in Florida and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: open the culvers.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we have now we have the butterburger and
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Ostards and the cheese curl Oh.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: No, that that is true Wisconsin fashion. That's true Midwestern
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: nice bringing the goods down there. Oh god, it's funny.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: You literally mentioned I swear my wife and I literally
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: just had Calver's yesterday. I again, it is a place.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I how I put it, I call it. I had
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a I have a few family members in Texas, and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: don't forget my one cousin. I haven't talked him a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: couple of years. He asked me, like, tell me about Like,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: how would you describe Culvers? And I literally said, it's
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: like the quiet in and out Like everyone in the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Midwest knows about it. We just don't talk about it
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: because we don't want it to get so popular where
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: they then, you know, said typical Midwest. We don't want
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: them to raise the prices. I mean that's anywhere. But
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: like yeah, I hear that there's a you know, there's
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: a Culvers in Uh, it's just now there's a there's
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: one in Florida. I'm ptty sure it's actually one not
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: too far outside the Orlando area too, I know because
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: actually we also have some friends from California and like
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: they tell us all the time, like Culver's or let
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: me trace that drive through.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I got a butter burger and then gave me the
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: bag and it was already greasy. I'm like, how long
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: is that burger? Like we just put it.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: In, we just cooked it for you know. No. Literally,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: A friend of mine from California is like, yeah, I
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: don't tell any what.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Culver's is way better than it out. I'm not gonna
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I've had it and out only once in Vegas, and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I thought it was I thought the service was amazing.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: First off, it made a lot about Culvers, and I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: fall in that bad where I think their fries are
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: not that great. But yeah, just Culvers, It's just it
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: always it always, it always hits and like, yeah, typical Midwest.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: You know, you go to any other burger joint, you
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: get your burger, your fries, you get a soft drink,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: but no culvers. You gotta get a burger, some cheese curves,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: you gotta get a concrete mixer.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, it's uh and then you're so happy when
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: you're eating it, and then an hour later you're like,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: why did I do that to myself?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Well? Yes, but you know what, I'm a big guy myself,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: So like my entire life, I'm like, I know what's coming,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: but it's worth it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Temporary dopamine hit.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, You're totally worth it, because like what's better than
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a butterburger with fried I mean again, especially with what
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: fast food costs. And it's like it's pretty and they
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: really haven't raised their price. It's like, okay, great, I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: pretty much paying the same for culvers as I would
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: if I went to McDonald's. So it is no, I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I have nothing. I literally have. I honestly could say
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever had a bad mother, which
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: is harriss too, because I've obviously been in the Midwest
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: my entire life. I've been going there and like there's
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: still there's foods I did on there, like they actually
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: they have like a I want to say, like a
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I don't want, like a pot roast dinner they have
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: like they have like a cut of like some kind
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: of roast that you can get and like, I'm like,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: my buddy got it. I'm like what He's like, hey,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: get like a pot Rolls dinner and I'm like what
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: is this? And it was like twenty bucks. It was
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: actually pretty pretty darn good. So I don't I don't
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: even know, like the Culver's menu is insane, but uh yeah, wow,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that you got to enjoy Culvers.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Can you hear my dog going nuts right now?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, don't worry. I'm sure at some point
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: you're gonna hear my cats going crazy because we get
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to my Actually, my cat's kind of like me. They
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: actually have severe anxiety. So like literally like if even
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: if he's in the room with me and he walks
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: out of the room, he'll act like I abandoned him
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: because I didn't follow him. So you know that's we
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: You gotta love the pets.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if I go in my office, he'll
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: just sit outside the door and wind, So I just
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: leave it open so we can come and go.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: And then of course, you know, dogs come.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Walking by the house as soon as I go on
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: a podcast.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, My favorite is always whenever I'm doing
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a podcast with I've done a couple of solo ones,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: or I have you know, guests or friends on you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I'll this is what I do. I know my animals, like, uh,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: we'll call it like digestive schedule. I'll feed them all.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Wait a little bit, I'll start the record button. But
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: then for some reason, you know, one of them decides
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: to get this sudden urge of energy and then the
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: other two just start chasing each other and then all
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, you just hear stuff falling over or
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: as I mentioned, my one cat who has very severe
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and separation anxiety, he'll start just screaming at me, like
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: from the other side of the house, and you'll hear
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I literally at once had I forget her name, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: it escapes me. She was on the pot, she was
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: on here. She was promoting this uh this this play
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: that she that she wrote, directed. Everything was it was
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a self play. Was really it was like, Wow, she
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: did everything by herself, Like good for you. But the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: whole time, like we're talking, she's getting really into the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: details and like how kind of like tied to like
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: some like uh, I wanna call it traump, but some
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: like some emotional things she had going on in her
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: life and how like really inspired her. And all you
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: hear is actually she's poored her hard and soult to
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the audiency's heart. Hell, I didn't want to interrupt her,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: like can't shut up.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Talk about breaking the mood.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, but you gotta you gotta sometimes, you
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: know what I mean, You gotta have those moments too,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: like that, Like it's like that's what I'm saying, Like
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: those like unintentional moments sometimes those are the best moments.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Like you know, like when dogs like just randomly showing
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: up are like barking, or you know, my cat will
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: suddenly just start screaming at me for no reason at all,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: even though I like before I came on here, I
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: made sure to like acknowledge him and give him attention.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter. It's never enough what it is.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: And it happens on stage all the time. You'll get it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Somebody waitress will drop a plate, or somebody will yell
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: something out.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Or oh god, got ready I could. Actually that's a
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: good that's actually kind of good. So somebody actually want
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: to ask you, and I apologize if this kind of
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: comes out left nothing like too personal by that, I
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: would make that clear. So do you remember, I'm sure
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you remember a couple of years ago. Of course, right
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: when we get in the conversation, he starts going a
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago when unfortunately the oscar incident happened
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: with Will Smith. M hm. Has that is that? I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: remember when that happened obviously, like right away, the first
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: concern was like, great, this is not gonna be unfortunately
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: like an open invitation almost for people to rush the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: stage for comedians, and I know probably the most other
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: famous one happened not too lot. That was for Dave
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Chappelle and thankfully all the major all like the major
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I wanna call it like acts like the major, like
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: ones that like broke out like in the media. Most
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: of the more stops or actually I think pretty much
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: all of them were stops to a certain point. Don't
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: one of got injured anything like that. But have you
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: noticed it's been like more of a commenty or do
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: you think that was just like a like something that
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: people are trying to be like yeah, rush the stage
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: or do you think that kind of died down or
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: do you think people are just like, now, I'm just
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: gonna scream at you for no reason at all.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're sticking to the heckling. It's very rare.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: You got to really trigger somebody, you know, if you're
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: going after someone's girl and the guy's drunk. You know, God,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: have you really kind of lean into a sore spot
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: with the crowd. Yeah, you might get because there's there's
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a dozen more, you know, fan altercations with comedians on
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: you know, on the internet you can look up. But
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: m it's never really an issue for me. I don't
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: that's you know, I'm not the I don't want to
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: say that I'm the least controversial comedian you'll ever hear,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: but I don't. I don't find interest in politics. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: don't find you know, clean comic but not cheesy. So
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I will tackle any subject I feel I want to
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: talk about. But I'm not ruffling. I do ruffle feathers,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: but it's in a fun poking. You can't not tell
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: that I'm joking up there. And and even if I
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: was deadpan, you should know it was a human being
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: in the audience that this guy's telling jokes. You know,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: he's exaggerating.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Which that's always. The thing made me laugh is like
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: whenever like I see those videos, not like the people
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: rush it, like the like the hecklers that are getting
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: like like there's obviously like yeah, like if you obviously
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: encourage it, like a little bit of like interaction they
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: talk back to. That's one thing. Like when they're like
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: literally trying to take over the show and they're like
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: cussing you out for no reason, it's just like my mine.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: First I was like, of course, it's always someone on
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the front row and it's like you literally paid to
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: be there.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't happen too often, but I think the
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: worst for me is the is the and I don't
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: even know if you can consider it a heckle. It's
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: the drunk audience member that loves you and just repeats
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: your stuff. Oh oh, Like if the punchline is burger king, they'll,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: you know, when the joke's over, they're.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Like burger kay, Yeah, I love you.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're ruining everything, like that joke was
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: twenty minutes ago. Yeah, oh god. So it's just but
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: in the you know, I would say earlier in my career,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I've I've booted some people I've dealt with hecklers, but
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: at this point, you know, people, you know, a lot
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: of the shows I do are not open to the public,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: so it's a it's either a church function, or it's
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: a corporate gig or a charity event, or even a
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: neighborhood like we have these master planting communities, I'm sure
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: all over the kind Sure they have them, and they
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: have an event, you know, like a little hall that
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: they rent out and they host a comedy night. Then
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: they'll have a magic night and a music night and
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: all that. So it's like they're hiring me because they've
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: seen some of my stuff. So yeah, you know, they
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: know what.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: They're dead no I And that's the thing I and
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I I'm not gonna don't want to say, like I
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: love the videos, but like i've it's always like that heckler,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Like they'll heckle like the you know, the person on
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: stage and then like before like that, like you know,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the the convenior. Anyone can even say anything, like almost
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: like all the audience memer just start like bullying him
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: like it's a pro wrestling match. Which again, so for
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: those people, like again, you need to put those people
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: in their places. Sometimes but yeah, but actually that's actually
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: that's a question I was actually gonna ask you too,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: so like you kind of ready to like you mostly
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: do like you know, you do like corporate events, uh,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: you know, shows at church and stuff like that. Obviously
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I know that, you know, Like in your profile that
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: we met through pod match, you know you right away
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: it says like you're a clean comedian, do you I think? Okay,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I think there is a there is a route where
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: a cussword can bring more impact to a joke, a punchline,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: a story. But do you feel obviously with like corporate
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and church events, you probably have to be a little
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: restrictive like what you can and cannot say depending on
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the company or like the people.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll tell me what not to touch.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Right, which which one hundred percent makes sense. But do
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: you feel that a lot of and I'm not saying
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: like call any certain comedians in particular, but do you
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: feel like a lot of them like use that like
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: language just to like almost like I won't say, like
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: like an escape route, you know what I mean?
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: A crutch?
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like a crutch like yeah, like you can't I mean, okay,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: what you know, the most famous one of the most
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: famous ones of all, Like what would the George Carlin
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: you know, seven Dirty Words be if we didn't have
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the dirty words? It just would just be another joke
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: on a Tuesday night, you know what I mean?
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, I'm all for and I like all sorts
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: of comedy. I'm not just a clean comedy fan because
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I'm a clean comed I like it all and a
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: well placed vulgarity, you know, is always something I'll enjoy
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: if it's if it's well done, yeah, in a joke
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: and it makes sense. But if I'm just going to
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: the f and grocery store, right, it doesn't it. I'm like,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: you know, you could write you know, you got to
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: be able to write better, but it might still be funny.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: You know what do I know? The audience really tells us.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: That's the weird dichotomy of comedy, Like we're the comedians
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: are the experts and funny, but the audience tells us
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: if we're right. So, you know, like I'm doing, I
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: have two shows this weekend and they reached out to
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: me and said, you know, here are your openers. Do
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: you know them? I said no, and they said, the
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: guy says, I know you work clean. What do you
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: want them to do? I said, well, just tell them
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I work clean. Let them know they can do whatever.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: They can handle it however they want to handle it. Yeah,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: you know, I got to be able to follow anybody,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: So I'm not here to stifle your creativity. Ideally, i'd
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: like you to be clean, but I'm not going to
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: force a comic to do something they're not used to
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: be doing, you know, used to doing on stage. So
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I just think there's a better. Like I first three
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: to five years, I probably cursed on stage. I'm sure
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: i'd cursed on stage, not excessively, but eventually, eventually I
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: came across a couple where the punchline was the curse word,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: and I was like, that's just it's you know, cutting
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: across the infield, so to speak. It's it's not I
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: could do better.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Well, well, man, I think that's cool. Like that's like
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: not quote unquote your crutch. But I feel like if like,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: if you like, I feel like follow your like for example,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: like we can like you you recently hate your special
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: come out in October on YouTube, but like if you
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: have like people like who follow you like if you
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: like for whether it's like any of the times you're
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: like you were on Peacock or Comedy Central and then
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: your specialized or let's just say, have a thing like
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: you're special on YouTube and you throw that one curse
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: word in there and every one knows, like, okay, like
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: you don't cuss. It might be one of those things
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: where it's like oh okay, like because again it's like
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: like you know, it's like I want to and I'm
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: not saying like a gimmick, but it's like, oh, like, okay,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I know he doesn't curse, and all of a sudden,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: you throw like up, you know, you throw an F
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: word there. It's like, oh, like like oh god, he
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: gave me come out, came out of nowhere and really
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: got me with that one. Because like, yeah, I just
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and that's why I like, I I something my wife
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: and I like, we like, we love watching stand up comedy.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: We want to go to more because obviously obviously with
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: where we are near the Chicago area, like god, it's
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: like you know, almost have your pick of the litter essentially.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, and that's the thing too, is just sometimes like, yeah,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I do feel that sometimes some comedians are like I'll
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: see you'll seem like on some social media platforms where
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: it's like every third or fourth word they're cussing. Now again,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: if they're able to make it work, that's one thing,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: but like, yeah, I can't tell you my times I
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: see it where it's like they would throw like a
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: random s bomb in there, but it's like, what was
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the point of that? Yeah, you know.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: And the the biggest compliment that I could get, or
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: one of the biggest after a show is, and I
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: get it often, is hey, did you know that you
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: didn't curse one time up there and you did an hour.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, it's amazing.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I appreciate you paying attention.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean they and they're like, we they were
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: surprised they enjoyed it as much as they did, because
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I don't you know, sometimes I won't advertise as the
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: clean show if it's an area or a venue I've
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: been to before where they they they're not excited about it. Yeah,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: and then at the end of it, they're like, wow,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: that was great and you didn't even curse, So yeah,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I like that. No, I'm not putting myself. I don't
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: want to come across it. I'm saying it's better or not.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: It's just something I choose to do. So it's you know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: like I said, I'm fans of all kinds of comedy.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, And I think I think that's commendable because,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: like I said, like you're not like you said at first,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: you did something a little bit like you're not afraid
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: to throw it in there if you need to. It's
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: just I just think I think certain aspects like it
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: could be a lost start because like, okay, like one
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: of my favorite and I got unfortunate obviously, Like I
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: wasn't old enough really to see him when he was
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: doing seconds, he was pretty much done with that. Is
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: like Robin Williams, Like I remember his last special I
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: saw World. Okay, yes, he used a lot of like
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: foul language, but when he used the words, he made
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: it mean something. It wasn't just like random like you
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: know all this is bs. It was like oh no,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: like blah blah blah blah, asks like oh hahaha, like
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: he made it. He made it worthwhile.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, watching him is like watching him like a machine
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: gun being fired in a million rounds a second. Just
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: it's amazing.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: No, that honestly, Like I every time I like watch
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: like any of his movies, like where they're there comedy,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: like any anything where he's involved, like anything comedy, like
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: even if you've seen a hundred times like Jim carry
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: or like you know what's coming, but you can't help
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: this but just cackle.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah you know.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: And it's like that's why I like love like watching
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: those like uh, some of those like comedians, like when
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: they're like when they make that trans over into filmmaking,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: like you'll see it a hundred times, but then maybe
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: you notice them a little bit different because there, you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: you notice the joke or doing maybe their manurism is
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: something different you never seen before or stuff like that,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: like yeah, I mean Jim Carrey's for example, like just
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: like any like he just I mean not saying he
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: didn't just make noises, but like just like his body
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: language was just comedy in itself.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: So yeah, you knew he started out in stand up
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: that not a lot of people know a famous actor.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Uh, and he was.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Good who with this baby?

  Speaker 3: I mean, and it's so funny and I tell people that, like, no,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: he never and I was like pull it up, google it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: No, I I just like again, like good timing because
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: like again, like I'm you ever seen that how I
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: say commencement speech? Jesus No, I think he went back
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: to like one of his like his alma mater for
• 21:45

• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Doctor I believe it was, you know, they gave him
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: like this award and then like he literally like you
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: know he did like the classic. They already gave his speech,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: and he's like, if you take anything away from Days,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I remember two words, and he just goes, I'm Batman.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: It's just like, you know, these people just like not
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: saying like they like, I mean, yeah, Michael Keane's like
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: that'd be pretty sweet, but like that by then it's like, Okay,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I want to get out of here and go home.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: But then like when he says that's just like okay,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: you know what, I can literally say my graduation ended
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: with Batman. That are going I'm Batman.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Did you hear that story about that young kid in
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: kindergartener first grade who kept telling his classmates and teacher
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: that his uncle is Superman.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Oh that Henry cas Oh my god, And he.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Would get really mad that people would like his teacher
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: didn't believe in stories. And then Henry Cavill walks him
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: to school.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like imagine like I just imagine that like all
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, like Henry Cavill just like literally Superman
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: walks and you're like, wait what And even even if
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: those kids didn't, like of course right on time, even
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: if those kids never saw the movie or any of
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: the promotion, like Henry Cavill himself just looks like a
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: guy who like literally looks like Superman, of course. And
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I can just imagine like that, like literally, even like
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: if that kid was, you know, seven or eight years old,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: for life, for in its entire child, that kid has
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: nothing but bragget rights. It's like, hey, remember when we
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: were eight years old and you said my uncle or
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: whatever was in Superman. Like there's just just like stuff
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: like that, like when people go out of their way
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: to do that because you know, like like the celebrities
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: like whatever they have that like you know that mantra
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: of like oh, they're not not that they're not people.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: They're not people people, but they're like they just don't
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: want to be around anyone. They're always rude or stuck up.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think it'd be anything further from the truth.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I want smets or actually, okay, this is okay. Have
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: you ever heard of the wrestler? I don't ever told
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: the story any you ever hear of the wrestler named
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Stone could see Boston. Yes, So I don't remember how
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: my mother happened to bump into him. She was at
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: a music festival. She was there for work, and she
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: took and she was with a couple of family like
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: other family friends. But it was like it's a work event,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: so obviously you can't bring you know, kids and stuff
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: like that. And she had told me I knew prior
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: she was going to meet him or that he would
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: be there, and she's like, yeah, try, I'm sorry, I can't.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: And for me, like this is like my childhood hero.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, really, mom, you can't take me to
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: meet the childhood hero of mine, you know. But I
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: was like, okay, whatever. And next thing, you know, I'll
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: never forget. My dad and I were outside and his
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: phone kept going off, and all of a sudden, like
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I just get this like two minute voicemail of like
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: this is two thousand and one, so of course cell phone,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: you know, reception was mid right, and all of a sudden,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: it's literally I literally got you know, Stone col C.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Boston on my dad's voice message machine, just saying hey Charlie,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh God, like what do I do
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: and like the fact that like he took that time
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: to do that, you know, and like I'm not trying
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to say, like my mom just like took the phones,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: like here, say something to my son.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Right I Like, I like seeing on social media where
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: I think it's Tom Hanks who's really famous for it
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: takes pictures with people that are passed out or sleeping
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: or not paying attent like and no one has like
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: their friend take a picture, like cause this guy's gonna
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: be so mad when he wakes up and could admit
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Tom Hanks.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Like again, just like imagine that, like you wake up
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: and like all your friends are just like pointing and
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: laughing at you. And of course, first you're gonna do
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: You're gonna check your face, okay, like who drew like
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: who drew a penis on me? Or like you know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: who did what to me? And then all of sudden
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: it's gonna showing your phone like oh yeah, no, Tom
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Hanks sat next to you.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he dropped by for a little while. We all
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: met him and talked.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and like they all got pictures of him like
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: doing selfies and then here's you just passed out on
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: a bench. And of course again like the like the
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: the giant like wave or like you know, just like
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: this cloud of darkness that would just come over me.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Like I like literally Woody from Toy Story Forst. Gump
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: just sat next to me just to like be in
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: on a gag with my friends on my expense, and
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I missed it. I actually did not know that that up.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. Well, and like the number one too
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: is like, uh, which is I'm not sure if you're
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I follow I've really I'm a I'm a film fanatic
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: film and I like not even just like the just
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: movies or just like the makings of movies and stuff
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: like that, and like the business side of it. Uh,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: you've if you see like the uh the stuff like
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: word Uh. I want to call him by his character name,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: but Johnny Depp to this day, he still dresses up
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: as Jack Sparrow and he'll go to like you know,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: children's hospitals. And it's no secret that him and Disney,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: like I mean, with all this stuff that happened, like
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: with the court, like they had a pretty big falling out,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: but like they to say, now he'll he'll still you know,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: get the get the costume. Disney will work with him
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: on it, and he'll still go to children's hospitals and
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: like just hang out with kids, just like.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: I love I love that trial. By the way, that
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: was great. I pint a mega pint of wine, a
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: mega pint.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: My My my favorite is Hamper heards it's turney. I
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: forget what the guy's name was on the stand. This
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: is like your fifteen minutes of fame, and he goes,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I could argue, this is your fifteen minutes fame. You
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: take out a big client like Emperord.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think my favorite moment was the Amber
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Herd's lawyer says to Johnny Depp, you know you're you're
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: you're a considerable size bigger than Amber. Heard right, And
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Johnny Dipp's.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Like no, and her face is just so good. You
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: didn't say no, He's just just I remember that. And
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: then or like when they zoomed in Jason Momoa, he looked.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Like he was half in the bag, like literally like
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: like if there was ever like a thing where it's like, oh, this.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Is clearly AI like we were. That trial was clearly
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: like two or three years too early. It's like half
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: the stuff that happened in that trial, Oh my God,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: and the amount I can't remember the amount of people
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: that I knew, not even just in my first life
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: in my office that would go right away, like I
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: work in like I don't get to I deals, like
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: what I do.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: I do?
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I work with like compliant stuff. And the amount of
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: times where like we be talking about like okay, oh
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: did this happen and then someone to scream hearsay for
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: because every seemed like understandably so it's a lawyer's job,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: of course, Like every two seconds someone was objecting to
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: hears say it or something like oh my god, no,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: I like literally, I can't wait for when in like
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: twenty or thirty years, fax acides to make the Johnny
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Depp amber Her Trials a TV show. Yeah, because that's
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: what they do with any controversial thing that's happened in
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: real life. They make a show out of it, because
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: why not. But oh man, that'll be funny. Maybe maybe
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: maybe you can play uh the uh you can play.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: The lawyer that has about the mega p Yeah, I
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: want to play the I don't know what he was
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: on the stand, but it was a really older guy.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not as old as this guy, but he was
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: doing some weird stuff with his face in his mouth
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: like oh yeah, like opening it wide and then like dry.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: It was all dry, man, I don't know what was
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: And then Johnny Depp's even looking at him and talking
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: to his lawyer like what the heck is this gonna do?
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I just that I literally like that's like one of
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: those like things like literally like doesn't matter where you were,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: what your job was, like everyone's phone or computer was
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: on that like just like looking at the screen, just
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: like okay, what's the next crazy thing that's gonna happen?
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Like nothing like anything bad, thank god, like happened in
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: that court room. But it's just like what's like And
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: it wasn't even like the funny thing again, it wasn't
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: even Johnny or Amber it was their lawyers.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like it was like they were it
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: was a TV show cast around them.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: It's like it's it's literally it was literally like okay.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: The Johnny Depp v Amber Herd Trial written by Joey
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: trib Right, I just again at yeah, oh my god. Well,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: one thing I do want to we could take transition
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: little bit here. I want to ask you about something again.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: I do appreciate not like you not I even talked
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: about it. Well, actually we kind of did a little
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: bit through the messaging you did put in in your
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: like your profile that you are a mental health advocate.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: That is something I think is very important, especially in
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: today's age, with mental health awareness rising, more people are
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: coming to the understanding, thankfully that you know, the mental
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: health is something important that they also may actually need
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: some help with, like some mental health stuff we don't
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: need to get like obviously we don't need like two
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: personal her in terms like like what led you down
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: to that road and stuff like that. But one thing
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I would like to just ask you is I do
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I am a huge firm believer that you know, laughter
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: is the best medicine for certain situations. But is something
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: like this is comedy kind of like what are uh?
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Is mental health? Kind of like what got you into
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: comedy a little bit? Or like what really made you?
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Or Okay, here's here's the question. I think it's pretty big,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: even into day's age for people to be like, hey,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I'm in mental health advocates, Like what really kind of
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: like made you be? Like, hey, I want to put
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: myself out there for something to like to see.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, great question. No, because it didn't hit me until
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: later in life, probably ten years ago, post divorce, and
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: that wasn't the only trigger, but it was the first time.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: And it's it's very demasculating as a man, as you
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: can imagine or no, to finally admit.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: That you have.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: You need to process some stuff, you needed to get help. Yeah,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: because it was the first time in my life that
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: I had felt in a dark place and mentally and
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: physically unable to get out of it, like I you know,
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: in the but prior to that, I had been in
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: a bad mood. I'm like, oh, I'll go hang out
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: with some buddies, or I'll get out and wrn whatever
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: I'll do. And it was just something passing. I didn't
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: put too much thought into it, and before you know it,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I'm fine. So I never really took mental health seriously.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: And then I started getting into you know, after various
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: events and things and relationships and stuff. I was like,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: I can't get at I can't believe. I'm embarrassed that
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: I can't get out of this dark spot in my
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: head that I can't what what I know. I have
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: social anxiety already, so I'm dealing with that. But what
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: is this woes me, you know, dark feeling and had
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I just had to finally get help, you know, get
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: a therapist, talk to my doctors about what's going on.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: How do I you know, and then it would you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: every time I comedy is very therapeutic. Writing is even
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: more therapeutic. There's you know, ten percent of what I
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: write makes it to the stage. Five percent of that
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: gets thrown away, So it's it's a huge it's very
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: therapeutic writing and performing. Even if you bomb, which you know,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: for me at this point in my career, it's more
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: along the lines of a new joke not going the
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: way I want it, you know, there's there's not too
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: much bombing at this point other than when you're trying
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: new material. Yeah, but yeah, so I would like to
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I try to encourage men because it is it's almost
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: almost equated to when you hurt if you if you've
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: ever hurt your back as a man, Yeah, it is
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: debilitating and emasculating because you can do nothing. You can't
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: put your own socks on, you can't get up by yourself,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: sit down by yourself, you know, And that's the equivalent
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: to me mentally of depression. And that's very frustrating to
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: kind of embrace and realize, you know, hey, you can't
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: do this by yourself, right, but yeah, so you know,
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: and then unfortunately a lot of men especially will just
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: never address it, pass it down and you know, either
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: deal with it with a bad addiction of some sort.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course, right when you're games this really
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: like sense of top My dogs are the black I apologize.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I wish it was the cat me.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: No I And I think I think for men especially
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: like it's it's becoming, thankfully, mind you more common because
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: like I was in that same boat where I was
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: like I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, and then like
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: one day I was just like like what the like
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: what the without saying it, what am I doing? You know?
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: And uh, as I alluded to it, I've been I've
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: came mind on the podcast and I kind of alluke like, hey,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: here's why I've been gone for a little while, YadA, YadA, YadA,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: you know, because like you know, I have got ADHD
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: and like we did an episode. I did episode with
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: a common guest his nickname shag Zilla, and it's just
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: funny because like we're both kind of going through this
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: journey together a little bit and like and here's the thing, guys,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: and I will say this for any guy talk or
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: how I put it, if you heard that classic like
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: U meme or matra that like you know, like all
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: the girls hang out and and when they when they're
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: when their boyfriend or husband or spouse asked me a question,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: they can detail every single thing about that conversation that happened.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: But when a girl asked about like oh, hey, so
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: and so, like yeah, so and so broke up, what happened?
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know right right, But like guys, it's like, no,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: we should talk to each other and like really get
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: into details. Because for example, like one of my friends,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: like one of my closest this is a guy who
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: was in my wedding for Christ's sake, and I had
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: no idea who was going through this stuff. He had
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: no idea I was going through this stuff. So then
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: we talked to her for like two minutes and he's like, wait,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: you're doing this. I'm like yeah, and he's like why
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: did And we're both like why didn't you say anything?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know because it's like and like and
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: by the way, like my father was never like a
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: whole like keep your feelings. No, he was never like that.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: He was like, no, like if you if you got
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: something to say, kids say it. You know what I mean. Yeah,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: He's like, if I disagree with you, we'll get we'll
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: talk it. I don't get through it, you know. I
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: just stuff like that. Same with same with my pop,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: my stepdad, same thing. But yeah, just like we had
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: just there's just just like weird puppeteer of like life
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: where it's like cannot express feelings and like in the
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: last two years alone, just like what like like it's
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: one of those things where I feel so much better now.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: The fact that you obviously want to find the right people,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: the right person or people right you know. Oh yeah,
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: and you can kind of poke the bear with a buddy,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: you know, and then talk even talk casually about it,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: like hey man, you ever mess with that mental health
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: stuff or anything ever? You know, kind of feel like
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: you get being held back mentally or something, and then
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: oh yeah, blow it off. You just move on, you
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: get you find somebody else, you know, don't spill your
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: guts to somebody who's an idiot, you know.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: No, I'm the perfect I literally have done that I
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: used to, like my wife feel like we ke like
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: and here's the thing again, calm. I think laughter is
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: one of the best, like healing things, and like not
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: saying like I need healing, like everyone needs healing in
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: some sort, but like I used to joke saying like
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: I used to say I was fine, I didn't need
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: any help, and now I have two therapists and a
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: psychiatrists and like I and like sometimes like I'll talk
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: to like my friends or like okay for example, like
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I'll you know, I'll like I I'll like make light
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: of it in a joking way. Then they look at
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: it and I'm like, guys, like I'm okay, but like
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm not like I'm not saying like I'm not okay,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: but it's like, hey, no, I'm okay. I'm talking to
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: professionals about stuff. But I can also cope with it
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: my way because it's better because especially with like like
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: the whole like guy's holding stuff back. It's like, Okay,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: it's better, I like express this to you now. Then
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: in two years you find out, wow, Chuck, you really
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: have changed a lot, like what happened, And then I
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: take us whole to your journey, and of course every
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: I can give you this whole somber story of like
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: all these events, some highs low said thing. And the
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: first thing that it doesn't matter what what you take
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: away from that story, The first thing that guy is
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: gonna respond with, because that's what we do stupidly, is
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: why didn't you say anything, to which every guy's response
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: is I don't know. It's like, let's stop that crap.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: You don't even have to get into the details of
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: your you know what caused all this or the series
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: of events that calls all this. You can just say,
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: you know, this is someone something, someone did me wrong.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: This is how it impacted me. I'm not going to
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: go into the details, name names, yeah, but can I
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: share with you something that I started to do that
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not always good at. But please, and this may
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: sound silly to some, but it's worked for me, especially
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: with my I have a little bit of OCD. If
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: I ever wake up and I'm already in, don't I've
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: woken up in that dark place before, and so I
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: started to talk to my darkness, depression, whatever you want
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: to call it. I started to disassociate from it. I
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: talked to it and I would just say not today,
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: like it's a different person.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Yea.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: And the first thing I would do was get up
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: and make my bed, and I never do that. And
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: in my head, I would go, I just accomplished something.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: And then I would make a list, eat breakfast, brush
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: your teeth, take a shower, write for an hour, read
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: for an hour, walk the dog, and I would have
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: this little yellow pan and I would just start get
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: out in the sun and I would just start checking
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: off all these normal little things that we do every day.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: And I'm like just talking to that darkness, like not today,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: and like, look, I already accomplished seven things and it's
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: eight o'clock in the morning. Not today, And a lot
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: of times that'll physically and biologically get you. Now, this
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: is putting chemical in balance, aside, medications aside.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Mm.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: It sort of puts you in this. I can't believe
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: how much of a comp this is gonna be a
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: good day.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: No, I I think that's first off thing for sharing that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: I think that's awesome commenable because like, actually that's something
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I used to be the whole Okay, I'm gonna literally
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna speak out to you. I'm gonna give you
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: a whole itinerary of like, here's what we gotta do. Okay,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: here's the game plan. A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: and I would maybe get through M through OH and
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: M and O were probably the three most or three
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: least important things on that entire lia list. But now
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: since I literally like six months ago, I literally like
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: my one therapist is like, like, look, just write it down.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Just write stuff down. And by the way, I want
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: to make this clear you a little back to like, look,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: it's okay if you don't work with this out with
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: one therapist. This therapist, it didn't work out, which is
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: and as we had a we had a human conversation,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: It's okay. That's the way it is. Everyone's not fit
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: for everybody. And now I have this new one and
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: I have nothing but high praise. But I though the
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: good things say about the other one. Just we have
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: it's just different sometimes styles clash. It is what it is.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: And then hopefully you'll get to a place too where
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: you can make this long list and then check stuff off.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: But it's okay if you don't get to it all,
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: you know, Yes, it's sort of like a base like
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: a a baseline of like here's any Sometimes I'll break
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: it into three sheets. Want to need to have to.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: I need to go food shopping, I want to take
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: a nap, I want to go see my girlfriend. I
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: need to take a shower, I need to. But so
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: it's one need have to you know things too, and
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: it's like it's it provides a structure and a little
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: bit of a goal thing and then you don't have
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: to do all of them. It's just just it's a
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: very but to me, you know, I haven't named my
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: depression or darkness yet, but I just talked to it
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: like it's another person.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's nothing wrong with that because like I
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: used to be the whole and here's the thing too.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: I'm also not afraid of It's it's okay not to
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: fall back into it permanently. It's okay to I think
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: it's okay to sometimes fall back into that like normalcy.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe we're just like you're not doing the things you've
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: blren down because again, it rome wasn't on the day.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: You gotta find it what you gotta go through those
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: because like I said, I used to be the whole,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: like where I would think like every little thing that
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: went wrong was excuse mean everything Well the rong was
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: like the world against me. But it's like, okay, perfect example.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Literally this and it's this was not playing. This literally
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: happened yesterday. I took my car in last weekend to
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: get some stuff. It's nothing major, just a couple of
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: check ups. Do the oil change, do this, do a
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: bunch of other like tune ups, like stuff that like
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not a mechanic, I'm not a tool guy. Can't
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: do it. Sorry, And literally we left and or Saturday
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: night cars fine, Sunday morning, we hear this noise and
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: it's constant. Call them right away, schedule the appointment. But
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: they can't. Of course, like any dealership, like any place,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: they can't get me right away. I get it. One
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: of my best friends was a mechanic I know's and
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: that's the thing I think white mechanics like whenever I
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: talked to him, they're like a little hesitant because they're
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: they're waiting for my a guy my size to go
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: hey at her, which I'm not like that. It's like
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: why why would I yell at a guy working and
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I think he can kill me? So but literally, as
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I'm driving there yesterday. I literally said I can't. I said, okay, look,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna wait for this, like, I got to
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: take it to another shop, get him checked it out,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: and lo and behold, they said nothing was wrong with
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: my car. I'm like, okay, I don't understand that, but okay.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: I leave the shop. I'm driving. I hear the noise
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: I said, I heard, and by this wasn't like a
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: whole like like little time. This is like a really
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: loud noise. They're like, I don't know how they didn't
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: hear it. I pulled the car over. I find a
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: nail in my tire. I go back. Now this is
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: the part where probably their weight they're they're they're waiting
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: for me to yell at them, mf this, how dare
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: you that? And I'm like, no, I didn't raise my voice.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: I was calm even when they said, hey, look, because
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: of this this we we're gonna have to charge you
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: for it. And I'm like, hey, look, blah blah blah,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: you guys missed this. YadA ya da YadA. They gave
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: me phone numbers to call, like okay, and then like
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: it's just one of those things where and I think
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: it was one of those things where it took because
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: of how a lot it took. Essentially, I felt like
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: I loss a day, and I kind of fell back
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: into that old trend of like feeling defeated when it's
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: like okay, And I kept telling them here's the thing is,
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Like I kept saying okay, like as I kept going
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: through all this stuff, like okay, I can do this now,
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: get this thing fixed. I lose a day, or god forbid,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: myself and my wife are driving the car somewhere and
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: we get a flat, we're stuck on the side of
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: the road. I'd rather lose that day, but okay. And
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: then this morning when I woke up, I was like, look,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: you know what, it sucked. I kind of fell back
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: in that old trait where I didn't raise my voice.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: I wasn't rude, but I felt like delivery of doom.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, hey, I can move past it, and
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: like today I had a great day, not a problem.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not feeling great. That's because I had talked about
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: So I get what I am a lot of times
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: in my head to go if I lose my cool
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: right now with this person, what what benefit would that be?
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: What right, I'm gonna raise my heart right in blood pressure.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get my thing fixed any faster.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: And you know, and what's gonna happen. They're gonna they're
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: gonna talk to their boss or whatever, and their boss
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: is gonna be like, oh, they're a rudio. Why would
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: we help them? Which which makes sense.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I try to throw a little humor. I'll use sometimes.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: I'll use a line like if it's a place I've
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: been at for too long, whether it's the service department
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: of a car or I'm getting something whatever, a tail
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: or something, Yeah, go hey, as much as I like you,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be here. That's a good one,
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: as I really like talking to you. But I have
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: so much to do today.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: If we could, well, I I swear, I swear to God.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: The car plays I go to usually to get my
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: car work done, obviously I didn't go to that one
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: yesterday because like where I was like, look, I'm not
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: not risking it, not driving that far. Nope, not doing exactly.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: It's coming home from work. But the place I go to,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: there's this guy. He's not a mechanic, he's like he
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: works like at the service desk, he does the appointments
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: and like all the essentially to purchasing and like the
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: money stuff. And I'm not joking. This guy is like
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: a older gentleman, got a thick beard, kind of long
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: gray hair, and every time I look up, I literally
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: he swear he sounds like Sam Elliott, the guy from
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: the cors like commercials for those that don't know. And
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: I literally like once, I literally like once, as has
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: anyone ever told you? And he literally goes that does
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: sound like Sam Elliott like and like the guy literally again,
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm working, I get the voice acting, and
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: I swear the guy right on the spot try to
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: like break into like a Dodge Forward commercial. He but
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: again he put humor in it because he knew I
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: was a little upset because I remember, like what I
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: think I came in for something like a quick like
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: hey can just check on this, and it was taking
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: too long but right away because like most places, if
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: you show up not scheduled, you're gonna have to wait.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: And literally like the guy was nothing but nice. He
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: didn't have he didn't have to go out of his
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: way to make me feel like, you know, like, oh,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna try to like you know, sem
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Elliott like monologue this kid. No, But like it's just
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. It's like because again like if I
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: yell you, what's I can accomplish? Nothing?
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's when I see people in public, you know
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: that du that I'm like, this is first of all
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: your your things going to the back of the line.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Now, Like oh, you're like like, oh, like anytime you
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: go any like like anytime you see people yelling at
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: people at the airport, it's like it's not their call.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was. I was in the the our cable
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Company's Infinity and I was returning everything because I went
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: to streaming only in the store and some guy was next.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: There's an older guy, sixties seventies, and he was really
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: upset about something, and he was talking to one of
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: the other associates and he goes, he goes, I don't know,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: it's just a bunch of it's all a bunch of bs,
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: and he said the cursor real loud. He was yet
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: at this young girl, and everyone's head whipped and turned
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: and looked at him, and I locked eyes with him,
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: and I was the only one that didn't break eye contact,
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: and I just kept I was like, I should say something,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: but I'm not. I'm just gonna see what he does
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: if I just keep staring at him. And sure enough,
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: I stared at him long enough to he was surprised
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: I didn't break eye contact, as I'm you know, not
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: afraid of confrontation, and so he finally just said, I'm sorry, man,
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: look I'm just trying to get this resolved. So I
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, there's a little change in tone there, buddy,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: good for.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: You, right and like and again no again, as you
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: said earlier, no one wants he that he doesn't want
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: to be there. I don't want to be there. The
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: people working behind the counter, they don't want you to
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: be there, but that's why they're there, because life happens it,
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it's like on there. What was it?
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: Actually my wife kind of going off that. Like my
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: wife and I we uh. She she was on assignment
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: in Germany for about two years, and one of the
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: times I went over there, we did a weekend. Uh,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: we did a weekend trip to London because obviously when
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: you're there, like you getting get to those places pretty
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: quick and job affordable and literally, like we got on
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: the plane and like right away we knew where a
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: flights go because it's one of those flights where it
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: got delayed. But then we're leaving really late, and it's like,
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: all right, guys, we're gonna board the plane where it's
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: like and by like German law, its like we have
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: to take off in five minutes. It takes like half
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: an hour just to open the door. Yeah, but of course,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: but sorry we get through the plane, they're like, nope,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: you gotta get off yet yet, And like right away
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: my wife and I are like, okay, great, we're gonna
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: lay out this airport and the hotels are let's do
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: this and go and like these poor flight attendants or
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: people work here for this airline. Again, obviously I don't
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: know Deutsch. Sorry, I tried to learn something I know
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: a little bit. And there's getting hounded and it's like
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: do you really think like it's like one of those
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: things like do you really think they want to be
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: here this late when they were supposed to probably be
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: home tonight too, And they're getting yelled at by someone
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: and for all I know, I don't they might not
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: understand German. I don't know, but it's just like what
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: like what like what what good does that do? I
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: g Yeah, you're frustrated, you're annoyed, you're tired, you're crabby.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: I get it, but it's like why like just if
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: they need to be like one of those scenes where
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: like uh uh sorry, like like like how some airports
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: have like those like smoking only rooms. Need we need
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: like they have like those, but it's like a phone
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: with but it's like a sound proof chamber. You can
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: just go and there. Just let it go. Ah, just
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: get out of your system, like seriously, like I I
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna like I don't like there are times
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: where maybe like I'm having a bad day or something
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: like that, and like I'm not gonna like there are
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: times where I'm driving or okay kind of like how
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: you said, like you write stuff down like you or
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: you talk to like like hey, like not today literally
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: like the little thing that like my wife first off
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: as a first off as a gag, but now now
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: we do it as like a good, like a good
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: like hey, let's just get it out. If we're driving
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: home and Wamace has a blad day a day lay
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Jesus you heard of the Bluey theme song we'll play
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: that and scream it yeah, and then after you're it's
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: a thirty seconds after you're done, like, okay, I'm not
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: even sure I was mad about anymore. It's out.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And there's a lot of stuff that could
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: be mitigated before it even happens. Like some of my
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: tactics for and this is I didn't make this stuff up.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: This is just social experiment or or somebody I've heard.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: But I'll never ask how someone's doing. I'll either say
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: it looks like you're having a great day, it looks
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: like you're having a rough day, and that'll get them.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: If it's a great day, then yeah, sty'll talk about it.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: And if it's a bad day, they'll either be surprised
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: that they're coming across that way and brighten up, or
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: they'll tell you, yeah, I've just had some customers yelling
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: at me or whatever, and I'm like, well, well that's
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: not me today. Yeah, you got one of the good ones.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: So it's a way to break the ice. And the
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: other thing I do is I'll especially if it's a
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: small request or a favor, I'll over I'll over complicate
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: the problem up front, like I when I fly I'll
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: go to the desk if I have enough time during
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: layover or whatever or before, and I'll try to ask
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: for an upgrade. But the way I'll do it is
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: I'll go up and go you look like you're having
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: a great day, and they're like, yeah, I'm having a
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: great day. What can I do for ILM? Like I
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: think I'm I think I'm about to ask a question
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: that's going to be the most make me in the
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: most difficult customers of all times. She's like, oh no,
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, is there any way if there's an
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: open seat that can upgrade? She's like, oh, that's it. Yeah,
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: you know, And and then sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: It doesn't. It doesn't matter that it works or not.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: It's the approach because you'll see other people I've been
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: waiting for an hour, I want an upgrade. Well guess what,
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: you know you're not getting it. You know you gotta
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: take the right approach.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: And I love that because like you said, like you said,
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: like that's like you're sitting up for You're sitting up
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: for like okay, here comes as like major like hey,
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: like I'm in trouble. I'm on this flight by need
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: my six and it's like no, just like you said them,
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: like where they thinking okay, great? Like I had to
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: go really deep until Pandora's box to help this guy
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: with his issue, and it's like no, Like hey, do
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: you have an upgradet? It's like oh yeah, cool, Like
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: you just essentially like you're putting the weight on their
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: shoulders but taking it off, but like in a comedic way,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like one time I did a show in New
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: Mexico and the client flew me out first class and
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: on the way back, and I had like a four
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: hour layover on the way back, and I noticed that
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: there was a flight earlier during my layover. So I
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: went up to the American Airlines and I did that
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: same thing. You look like you having a rough day.
• 52:36

• 53:19
  Speaker 3: to people because I didn't care what the outcome was, right,
• 53:23

• 55:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a related There was a comic I
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: was working with in the green room and it was
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: just one of those days where I just wasn't feeling
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: it and he goes, could you believe it? And I
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: go what? And he goes, we get to tell jokes tonight? Yeah,

• 55:34
  Speaker 3: five pounds in twelve months and congrats, thanks, and it's
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: I would be upset, like I'm doing three days in
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: the gym because the week and then just walking the
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: other days. But missing a gym day would be devastating
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: to me. And then I was talking to this trainer
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: friend of mine and he's like, it's a day. He goes,
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: just don't miss two days, and yeah, he's like, you
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: got Wednesday. If you do a Monday, Wednesday, Friday, you
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: miss Monday. Okay, Wednesday, Monday's gone, it's over. I just
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: don't miss Wednesday. And it totally changed my perspective, Like
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I would harp on it and get upset
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: with myself and beat myself up with it. Yeah. By
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: the way, side note, one of my very first bits
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: ever as a stand up in the late nineties was
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: impression of Chewbacco. And what I found most humorous about
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: Chewbacca is he would do his initial growl or whatever
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: you call it, and then pause and then there would
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: be some moans and growls after really short let me
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: see if I could still do it. Hold on.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: I was like, you can't say you can do of
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Chewbacca one and then not take a drink. Hold, yeah,
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: I actually ask you what you were drinking.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: So no, it's just.
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: It.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: I would go, it's.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: Actually pretty good. It's pretty good.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: This law long thing. And then a pause and he's like, yeah, I.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Can tell you studied the I could sell he studied Wookie.
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: It's right.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: Oh god, See, this is why I love something like this.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: It's like we go from like you know, introducing ourselves
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: to each other. Were talking about your comedy stuff. Then
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: we go into like just like general like comedy, Hitchory,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: Chicago comedy. Then we go to mental health, and then
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: we're here, we are ending off with Wookie.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's right, right, oh yeah, And I just I
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: got the Star Wars franchise got to be too much
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: to follow for me. It was like I get the
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: you know obviously when I was a kid, the first three,
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: and then the next three came out, and then another couple,
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: and then there's TV shows then uh you know Bill
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: burs In.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: What is that the Mandalorian?
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like I can't keep I can't keep up.
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: I'll catch whatever I can catch, but I'm not keeping
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: track anymore.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: See, And that's the thing, and that's why and I
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: talked about here, Like the movie The Mandalorian moves me
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: so interesting when it comes out next month, because it's
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: like I okay and as click a clack his names
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: are now he's been the podcast we've it's like a
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: common It's like it's like a reoccurring uh joke that
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: we always have. I'm gonna I'll keep a PG for
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: you here, But like they Star Wars can literally give
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: us a crap sandwich as an as a little sandwich
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: with crap on it, and him and I will find
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: a way to justify that it's good. That's how that's
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: how much of a hook they have on us. But
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: we're also not afraid to critique it when it needs
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: to be critiqued. But because I think we're so in,
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: we're so just like engulfed in the lore and the
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: fandom of it. It's like it's like they got me
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: for likee like literally like my wife tells like people
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: like she was going to Disney and like the second
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: that like Disney got Star Wars, it's like, all right, well,
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm man right, so and like I like it,
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: but I can admit, like, is there is there too much?
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's enough, but I understand where Okay,
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: not everyone has the time and not even the time
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: to watch everything in Star Wars, everything Marvel, because, like God,
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: as much as they're Star Wars, there's way I think
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: there's way too much Marvel, which I think they're scaly
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: back on. Fine, thank god, there's a whole that's a
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: whole other podcast in terms of why they're doing that.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: Don't get me started on that.
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: Sometimes my friends that are Star Wars fans as well.
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: It's very rare, but we'll walk into a comedy club
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: or a green room or any place that's with there's
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of people, whether it's a bar or whatever,
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: and one of us will lean over and go you
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: will never find them all wretched high. That's common villainy.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love that. Yeah, oh my god, there's I
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: can't like the about I've also because I am my
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: father's son, and also my mother married my stepfather, so
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: the language buried and fall far from there either. I
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: I try really hard to watch my language.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: And wait with the famous scene where Luke, I am
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: your father? Does he not? He does not say that?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: Right, he goes, no, I am your father. It's not Luke,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: I'm your father. No, it's no, I am your father.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: It's a big misconception.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was corrected because one of my like I'm
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: keep going back to my old jokes. One of my
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: old jokes was when my son was my son's nineteen.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: When my son was born, the number one name my wife,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: my ex wife, wanted to name him was Luke. And
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: I said, I can't name my son Luke because I
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: cannot resist every time I see him. You know, Luke,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: I am your fuck.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: YEP. I work with a guy named Luke and same
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: thing that he got. He's a Star Wars guy, and
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: he goes, that's not the line. But like, go back
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: to the language that I saying earlier, like I try
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: to replace I literally have replaced like cuss words I
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: would say in my life with the phrase in Star
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: Wars called dank Ferrick. It's just their way of saying,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: like you know, like a s bomber, damn it, Like
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: it's just like yeah, it means five thousand different things,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: but it's like it's like your soil saints, like yeah,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: but I'm not staying like I'm trying. I'm trying to
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: be better, Like hey, roma was on the day I
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: got I'm not gonna get better in the day. Let
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: me do my thing and get there.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: But you know, there's a lot of phrases that people
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: like the money is the root of all evil is
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: not correct. In the Bible, it's the love of money.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: See, I didn't know. I didn't know. See I've always
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: I've always heard the money's route of all you I
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: didn't know what the love of money. I didn't know
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: that money which and if anything, that makes a lot
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: more sense, that makes a lot more sense. Geez.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of context in the Bible, like
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: the story, like some people point out, you know, billionaire
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be billionaires and millionaire shouldn't be millionaires. And in
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: the Bible it says, you know, somebody with riches there's
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: something a needle in a haystack, or won't go to
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: heaven with because he's so rich or whatever, and it
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: was the context was this one person asked to follow this,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: one rich guy asked to follow Jesus, and he said, great,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: give up everything and follow me, and he said no.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: So it was in reference to him not being willing
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: to sacrifice, not rich people, you know, in total and
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: it's it's a very weird.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know, we we live in a weird world.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: But it's like I something something we can wrap up
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: with this, but something I kind of kind of like.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: You know, like kind of like I think I we're
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: not wrapping up on me misquoting the Bible. How about that,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: let's move on.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: A wrap No, so you kind of like to like
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: how like you know, like you'll if you see it,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: like you don't go how are you? You go?
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: You?
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: And I love that. I'm not I'm not gonna lie.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna steal that. Now you go, hey you like
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: you're having a good day or hey, look at you're
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: a bad like a rough day.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, don't say bad, say rough rough yeah yeah bad.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Like because they're gonna be like what they go like
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: crap or something, no, something, And it's it's it's I
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: think it's just small little details. I think because I
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: know it is like especially in movies, like I know
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: it those little tiny details. But like something I always
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: will do. Yeah, even like if my wife is like
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: of me and there's like eight people behind me, I
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: will always hold the door open for the entire party,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: the group, even though I always do that, and it's
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: not it's it's not just that Midwest nice thing. It's
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: not it's just me being It's just how because again
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: you don't like I've I've always thought like you can
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: make someone's day because I remember when I was a kid,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: my god blest her soul, my tiny little grandmother who
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: as I got older, it wasn't I got taller, she
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: was just shrinking. She would hold a door open for me,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, Grandma, like what are you doing? Yeah,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: Like like Grandma, no, that's my Like.
