Speaker 1: It's going good, man. I went to the gym. I
0:10
Speaker 1: was resting here. I didn't realize it was a day
0:12
Speaker 1: game for the Tigers. So it's like parking wasn't bad, though.
0:15
Speaker 1: Because I always try to park where it's cheap. So
0:18
Speaker 1: I found free parking. It's like free parking, like right
0:20
Speaker 1: on the street. But you got to get there quick.
0:23
Speaker 1: And then it's like it's only an hour away. But
0:25
Speaker 1: I don't think they check that. They don't check, you know.
0:28
Speaker 2: But it's Sunday, though. There's no meters. It's just a sign.
0:30
Speaker 2: But is it a Sunday? They don't care? Actually, yeah.
0:33
Speaker 1: Sundays is good.
0:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I always forget that. I just read that,
0:37
Speaker 2: and I was pissed because I read that just now
0:39
Speaker 2: in here, and I already paid to get into this
0:41
Speaker 2: parking garage. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And since
0:44
Speaker 2: it's a game, they even– Because everything is Surge now.
0:47
Speaker 2: Surge pricing everywhere. Yeah, the parking structure right here.
0:50
Speaker 1: I remember they used to do an open mic here.
0:54
Speaker 1: And Kendrick had a concert at Ford Field. The parking
0:59
Speaker 1: there was $ 80.
1:00
Speaker 2: 80 bucks?
1:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so when I came on stage for the
1:03
Speaker 1: open mic, I was like, $ 80 for parking?
1:05
Speaker 2: I'm Team Drake, bro. That's crazy. You like us. Yeah.
1:13
Speaker 2: That's wild.
1:14
Speaker 1: But, you know, you can't control that. It's just a
1:17
Speaker 1: little good joke, though.
1:18
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Yeah, man. Were you all in on the
1:21
Speaker 2: battle and shit?
1:24
Speaker 1: I mean, not all in. I ain't... You know. I mean,
1:26
Speaker 1: I was always... I would always say I was more
1:28
Speaker 1: of a Kendrick fan anyway. Because I don't... I like
1:31
Speaker 1: more like lyrical stuff.
1:35
Speaker 2: You know.
1:35
Speaker 1: Because that's kind of like how my comedy is too.
1:37
Speaker 2: It's usually.
1:38
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be funny.
1:41
Speaker 2: The funniest first.
1:43
Speaker 1: But if I can sneak in some knowledge or something
1:45
Speaker 1: like that, then that's what I like to do.
1:47
Speaker 2: That's even better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because like.
1:50
Speaker 1: The way I think about it is like, if I
1:52
Speaker 1: can make you laugh at the premise... makes you squirm,
1:56
Speaker 1: and the punchline still makes you laugh, then that's the
1:58
Speaker 1: perfect bit.
2:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's funny, too, because I was drawn in.
2:07
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, shit. The way, just the calculation
2:12
Speaker 2: of the dropping of the tracks. Yeah, yeah. It was
2:16
Speaker 2: a trip, man. I don't know how old you are,
2:18
Speaker 2: but back in the day, someone dissed somebody, and It
2:24
Speaker 2: wasn't an immediate response. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:26
Speaker 1: Everything took way longer, yeah. So you had to wait
2:28
Speaker 1: for their next album. But that's the kind of part
2:31
Speaker 1: that almost makes it feel like, I'm not saying this
2:34
Speaker 1: is what it is, but it's like, you know, almost
2:37
Speaker 1: like wrestling, like WWE, where it's like, is it some
2:40
Speaker 1: behind the scenes? Because it was always like, oh, yeah,
2:43
Speaker 1: they're going to spark a beef, and then you want
2:45
Speaker 1: to hear what they're going to say.
2:46
Speaker 2: So that drives sales. Yeah. You know?
2:49
Speaker 1: It's like the Chris Rock thing.
2:51
Speaker 2: After Chris Rock got slapped.
2:53
Speaker 1: all this stuff selling out and all of that. So,
2:55
Speaker 1: cause everybody wants to hear what are you going to say?
2:57
Speaker 1: And so it's like controversy breeds, you know, competition and sales,
3:02
Speaker 1: which is, which is the most.
3:04
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yes. Yes.
3:06
Speaker 1: Yes.
3:06
Speaker 2: Yes. Cause it was interesting. And then like, uh, okay, wait,
3:10
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We'll just start talking about music. Yeah.
3:12
Speaker 2: We're doing comedy. But no, you're, um, and you've been
3:16
Speaker 2: doing comedy. How long?
3:17
Speaker 1: I've been doing comedy. Like I say six years. Cause
3:20
Speaker 1: I started summer 2019, uh, Got rolling, got my first
3:25
Speaker 1: feature thing, and then COVID happened.
3:26
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:27
Speaker 1: And I did one COVID show, like one Zoom show.
3:31
Speaker 2: It was awful. Yes.
3:32
Speaker 1: And I didn't do comedy from like mid-March to like
3:35
Speaker 1: December when we started doing comedy outside.
3:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, on the outside. So I didn't really do.
3:40
Speaker 1: Much of anything all that 2020. Then 2021, came back strong,
3:44
Speaker 1: been rolling ever since.
3:46
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it was a trip. The outside comedy was
3:49
Speaker 2: an interesting thing, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Doing comedy in
3:54
Speaker 2: the shadows and stuff.
3:57
Speaker 1: When you think about what makes a good room for comedy,
4:02
Speaker 1: outside is the complete opposite of everything that would make
4:07
Speaker 1: comedy good.
4:07
Speaker 2: It's the killer of laughter for some reason.
4:09
Speaker 1: Yeah.
4:10
Speaker 2: Because we know that the sound rises, so it leaves,
4:13
Speaker 2: so you don't know how you're doing. Right, right, right.
4:15
Speaker 2: And then it's also, too, there's so much distractions going on. Yeah, yeah.
4:20
Speaker 2: And it's a comedy. It's a night thing, so you're
4:22
Speaker 2: out there at night. And it depends on where you're at,
4:24
Speaker 2: because you could be like this all day, trying to laugh. No,
4:27
Speaker 2: it's not. Yeah, exactly.
4:28
Speaker 1: Anything that takes away from the person on stage immediately.
4:33
Speaker 2: Kills that joke. And probably the next.
4:36
Speaker 1: three to five minutes depending on yeah how good the
4:39
Speaker 1: comedian is you know you know that's why uh they say.
4:41
Speaker 2: Uh uh uh mitzi shore she she painted it black
4:47
Speaker 2: all like the whole everything in comedy like have you
4:49
Speaker 2: been in the comic store yeah yeah yeah and how
4:51
Speaker 2: it's like every like you can't see yeah the only
4:53
Speaker 2: thing you can see is the comic and that's where
4:55
Speaker 2: the focus should be and i was like oh that's
4:57
Speaker 2: an that's an interesting choice because nowadays like it's like
5:00
Speaker 2: you know um comedy, like, the improvs are, like, that's
5:04
Speaker 2: the brand, so that's what the comedy, like, it's all everywhere, da-da-da-da,
5:07
Speaker 2: but it takes focus off the comic. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
5:11
Speaker 1: And it's fun, because I do a show downtown, we
5:14
Speaker 1: do a free show Sundays, and, like, this time of year,
5:17
Speaker 1: show starts at, like, 7.15, so it's still bright as
5:20
Speaker 1: shit outside. So when you, so it's, like, the sun's
5:23
Speaker 1: coming in, and I said that to the crowd the
5:24
Speaker 1: other day, I was like, because you'll see, like, people, like, they'll, like, snicker,
5:27
Speaker 1: or they'll, like, laugh, but cover their mouth, and I'm like,
5:30
Speaker 1: I was like, I know it's hard to laugh in
5:31
Speaker 1: this environment because it feels like God's watching you. So
5:34
Speaker 1: it's like, you can't laugh. If I say something dirty,
5:38
Speaker 1: you're like, I can't laugh at that. It's too bright,
5:40
Speaker 1: you know?
5:41
Speaker 2: It's weird. People know that it's still light. Even though
5:44
Speaker 2: they can't see it, sometimes they can't see it, but
5:46
Speaker 2: you can feel that it's still light outside. How come
5:49
Speaker 2: this joke's not hitting? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This joke will
5:52
Speaker 2: probably hit way better at 8.15. Yeah.
5:55
Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's the same. But that's also like why
5:57
Speaker 1: movie theaters are set up the same way where it's
5:59
Speaker 1: like everything is super dark. So all you can focus
6:02
Speaker 1: on is the movie. And then you come outside and
6:04
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, shit, it's 3 p.m. Like you don't
6:06
Speaker 1: even realize that you've been in a room like that.
6:10
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:10
Speaker 1: You know, it's like sensory deprivation type of thing.
6:13
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that, man. That's what you need, though, man.
6:17
Speaker 2: That's one of my favorite things to do other than
6:19
Speaker 2: stand up is go to the movies. Yeah. Because it's
6:21
Speaker 2: just you turn the whole world gets turned off. Yeah.
6:24
Speaker 2: And as an entertainer, it's like, now I get to
6:27
Speaker 2: be entertained. Yes. I can relax. Yeah. I can check
6:31
Speaker 2: it out.
6:31
Speaker 1: And you got to like, you got to, for me,
6:33
Speaker 1: it's like the thing of like trying to make sure
6:35
Speaker 1: I turn off my brain where it's not like, oh,
6:36
Speaker 1: how can I turn this.
6:37
Speaker 2: Into a bit?
6:38
Speaker 1: Because it's like, it shouldn't be, but I try not,
6:41
Speaker 1: I don't really do too many current events or anything
6:44
Speaker 1: like that. So my, if it did end up as
6:47
Speaker 1: a bit, it would be more like the idea of
6:50
Speaker 1: going to the movies or like the stuff around Going
6:53
Speaker 1: to the movies, not necessarily this particular movie or whatever.
6:57
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? No, it's more of a
6:58
Speaker 2: personal aspect. Right. I know what you're saying. Same thing.
7:03
Speaker 2: I can't go and be like, oh, here's a setting.
7:08
Speaker 2: Make jokes about this setting. And it's like, no, I
7:10
Speaker 2: have to be in that setting. And you know what
7:12
Speaker 2: the thing about it is? Sometimes I'll be in that setting,
7:15
Speaker 2: but that's not even what I'm talking about. Right. I'm
7:17
Speaker 2: joking about it.
7:17
Speaker 1: Right.
7:18
Speaker 2: Yeah. I get you. I find it hard. I need
7:21
Speaker 2: them to turn the music on.
7:22
Speaker 1: Yeah. Turn it way down. Oh, there's a camera over here, too.
7:47
Speaker 2: One, two, three. There you were.
7:56
Speaker 1: All right, that's a little better yet.
7:58
Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah, yeah.
7:58
Speaker 1: No, we good, man.
7:59
Speaker 2: We good.
7:59
Speaker 1: What time are we on this?
8:02
Speaker 2: Like 10 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Boom. Okay, cool. I'm sorry.
8:10
Speaker 2: What were we at again?
8:13
Speaker 1: Movies.
8:14
Speaker 2: Writing jokes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, like, and you're writing,
8:17
Speaker 2: and you're... Your method, do you have a method on
8:22
Speaker 2: how you go about it?
8:24
Speaker 1: It's usually whatever I feel the most passionate about.
8:29
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right?
8:29
Speaker 1: And I try to write about the real thing. I
8:33
Speaker 1: read in a book somewhere, probably the Comedy Bible or something,
8:36
Speaker 1: but it's like you want to go big to small.
8:38
Speaker 1: So it's like if I'm making a joke about my relationship,
8:42
Speaker 1: I try to think of a premise that makes relationships universal.
8:47
Speaker 1: I'm working on a bit right now where the premise
8:50
Speaker 1: is dating is hard because most people don't love themselves.
8:54
Speaker 1: So then it's hard to know if they love you
8:58
Speaker 1: or if they just love how you make them feel.
9:01
Speaker 1: So that's the premise. And then I go into specific
9:04
Speaker 1: examples about me and stuff like that. So it's deep,
9:09
Speaker 1: but it's got to be more funny than it is deep.
9:13
Speaker 1: Because I'm not just trying to make people question their relationships.
9:15
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, let's make them better if we can. So,
9:18
Speaker 1: funny thing.
9:19
Speaker 2: Like, when I first started, I started doing stand-up about 16. Okay.
9:23
Speaker 2: But then, like, I started getting real serious about 18
9:26
Speaker 2: years old. But then I stopped for a while. Yeah.
9:28
Speaker 2: But I remember being 18 years old and reading this quote.
9:31
Speaker 2: And it's kind of like what you said. And it said,
9:37
Speaker 2: if you make people think, they will hate you. but
9:40
Speaker 2: if you make people think that they're thinking, they will
9:42
Speaker 2: love you. Ah, okay. Yeah, and I was like, at
9:45
Speaker 2: first it took me a while. I was like, what
9:46
Speaker 2: the fuck is that? And then I was like, you
9:48
Speaker 2: know what though? That is actually, yeah, because like you said,
9:51
Speaker 2: if you go too deep, and then people are like,
9:52
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to think about all that.
9:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
9:54
Speaker 2: But if you're like, if you just spark the idea
9:56
Speaker 2: just a little bit, it's.
9:57
Speaker 1: Like, you know what? I never thought of it like that.
9:59
Speaker 2: Yeah. funny. Now that I think about that, damn, I
10:02
Speaker 2: do that too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because then it's relatable. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:06
Speaker 2: And the best thing about that is that no matter what,
10:10
Speaker 2: like even like in movies, everyone's always saying the book
10:12
Speaker 2: is better. Yeah, yeah. The reason why the book is
10:14
Speaker 2: better because it was in here. Yeah, yeah. So your imagination,
10:17
Speaker 2: so if I just spark it a little bit and
10:19
Speaker 2: you apply it to your relationships, Now you think of
10:21
Speaker 2: all these other things, but you're like, that was funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:26
Speaker 1: So that's the balance you got to try to, well,
10:29
Speaker 1: I try to strike. And some people are like, it's
10:31
Speaker 1: just a set-up punchline. Or it's just like, even if
10:35
Speaker 1: it's not a set-up punchline, it's not that deep. They
10:37
Speaker 1: might just make a joke about a movie or a
10:40
Speaker 1: joke about, and it's like, I love everything. I like
10:43
Speaker 1: all kinds of comedy. I like dumbass dad jokes. All
10:46
Speaker 1: the way to the, you know, the most highbrow shit
10:49
Speaker 1: you could think of.
10:50
Speaker 2: Yeah.
10:50
Speaker 1: You know, it's all funny to me, but it's just like,
10:53
Speaker 1: you know.
10:55
Speaker 2: I think I get more impressed with the degree of
10:57
Speaker 2: difficulty in order to get to it. Yeah. Yeah. It's like,
11:00
Speaker 2: I know that was a dick joke, but you took,
11:02
Speaker 2: it was, I was, that was a hard way to
11:05
Speaker 2: get there. Yeah.
11:05
Speaker 1: Yeah.
11:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's because I like stand-up science as well.
11:11
Speaker 2: Like when I first seen you right now, right when
11:13
Speaker 2: I first met you, it was funny. I was like, oh,
11:14
Speaker 2: he's funny. He's going to be cool. Yeah. Because, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:17
Speaker 1: That's funny because when I came, I did a show
11:20
Speaker 1: in Canada when I was coming back. They asked, what
11:23
Speaker 1: you doing in Canada or whatever? I was like, yeah,
11:25
Speaker 1: I did a comedy show. The guy was like, oh,
11:27
Speaker 1: you look like a comic. I was like, what the fuck?
11:30
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know if I should be offended.
11:33
Speaker 1: He was letting me go, and I kind of stopped.
11:36
Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't do that, because you don't want
11:38
Speaker 1: to give them a reason to be like, no, no, no,
11:39
Speaker 1: we're going to check your shit. I was like, I
11:41
Speaker 1: don't know if I should be offended by this. He
11:42
Speaker 1: was like, no, man, you look like you got to
11:44
Speaker 1: be smart to do comedy. You look like a smart guy.
11:46
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, man. I'm going to go, man,
11:50
Speaker 1: because I don't want to argue with somebody who could
11:52
Speaker 1: waste my time.
11:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, waste my time. Or keep me here.
11:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, yeah, you can't keep me here
11:57
Speaker 1: for too long, but you could keep me here for
11:59
Speaker 1: an hour or two if you wanted.
12:01
Speaker 2: I didn't know how, like, my geography is all fucked up.
12:04
Speaker 2: I did not know that Canada was that close. Yeah, yeah.
12:07
Speaker 1: Most people don't know, but that's like the big thing.
12:09
Speaker 1: So it's like, depending on where you live, Like age
12:12
Speaker 1: milestones are different. So like 18, that's big for everybody.
12:15
Speaker 1: It's like in the high school, stuff like that. But
12:16
Speaker 1: in Michigan, well, in Detroit specifically, 19 is a big
12:21
Speaker 1: age because once you turn 19, you can go to
12:23
Speaker 1: Canada and drink and go.
12:25
Speaker 2: To the clubs and all of that.
12:27
Speaker 1: So, yeah, that was like a big thing from 19
12:30
Speaker 1: to 21.
12:30
Speaker 2: You can go over there.
12:31
Speaker 1: You can go to the casino over there, all of
12:33
Speaker 1: that stuff. So we used to do that all the time.
12:35
Speaker 1: And then, you know, once you turn 21, you can
12:37
Speaker 1: just go.
12:38
Speaker 2: You can do all that here. Yeah. He still would
12:40
Speaker 2: go over there sometimes. He's already a full-blown degenerate.
12:42
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're already in debt. You owe
12:45
Speaker 1: the mob in Canada. They coming after you on horseback
12:49
Speaker 1: and shit. You did quick cigarettes five times.
12:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, right. Yeah, all between the two years of safety. Yeah, man,
12:55
Speaker 2: that's a trip. Like, yeah, I was like, because I
12:57
Speaker 2: was driving here, I was like, hey, this is one
12:58
Speaker 2: of these exits. I'm in Canada.
13:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, yep, yep.
13:02
Speaker 2: That's nuts. It's a thing.
13:03
Speaker 1: And I know, I'm sure, I've seen this probably a
13:05
Speaker 1: bunch of TikToks where it's like they play like the music.
13:08
Speaker 1: Where it's like you get off at the wrong exit.
13:10
Speaker 1: Because it says it like eight times. Like, this is Canada.
13:12
Speaker 1: You can't turn around. You can't, you know, if you
13:15
Speaker 1: get off right here, you going to Canada.
13:17
Speaker 2: So, you know. Last exit.
13:18
Speaker 1: The last time I went, I was driving and I
13:21
Speaker 1: had a show over there.
13:22
Speaker 2: And this was like a month ago. And I forgot.
13:24
Speaker 1: I had went to Costco and I had a half
13:26
Speaker 1: a gallon of tequila in my trunk.
13:28
Speaker 2: Oh, shit.
13:28
Speaker 1: And I'm like on the way there. And then it
13:30
Speaker 1: was the Bruno Mars concert.
13:32
Speaker 2: So. Traffic is crazy everywhere.
13:35
Speaker 1: Luckily, my grandma lives downtown, so I called my dad.
13:37
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, you at grandma's house? So I went
13:39
Speaker 1: and met him, dropped the liquor off, then went to Canada.
13:43
Speaker 1: And sure, they're like, you got anything? I was like, nope,
13:45
Speaker 1: because I don't even want to take no chances.
13:47
Speaker 2: So not even liquor.
13:48
Speaker 1: I could have took it and just been like, hey,
13:49
Speaker 1: I have this. I'm not planning on using it. I'm
13:51
Speaker 1: going to come back with it. But I was like,
13:53
Speaker 1: I don't even want to. I don't want to risk. Because, again,
13:56
Speaker 1: they could just hold you.
13:57
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:57
Speaker 1: And be like, oh, now we got to run all
13:59
Speaker 1: your stuff to make sure. Because I'm like, who's going
14:01
Speaker 1: to sneak in one bottle? It's a big ass bottle,
14:04
Speaker 1: but it's still one bottle.
14:05
Speaker 2: That's like because like I remember hearing all the time, too, like, hey,
14:08
Speaker 2: if you have a DUI, you can't get into Canada.
14:10
Speaker 2: I believe. I mean, I don't know. There's a lot
14:12
Speaker 2: of comics that couldn't work. Yeah. I remember that. It
14:14
Speaker 2: makes sense. Yeah. Yeah.
14:15
Speaker 1: Any any arrests, any old stuff, even stuff that might
14:18
Speaker 1: have gotten thrown out or, you know, if you went,
14:20
Speaker 1: you served your time or whatever, because that was like
14:22
Speaker 1: the thing with Patrice O'Neill, like like. Right before he passed,
14:26
Speaker 1: he was going to Montreal just for laughs, and he
14:29
Speaker 1: got stopped because he had a charge where he served
14:34
Speaker 1: time way before. He had gone a bunch of times,
14:38
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, this time they asked him, and
14:40
Speaker 1: it popped up, and then they didn't let him in.
14:42
Speaker 2: Wow. I didn't know that.
14:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard that on the Marc Maron podcast.
14:46
Speaker 2: I just showed the stepdaughter of Patrice because she didn't know.
14:49
Speaker 2: I was like, I go, this guy is... This is
14:52
Speaker 2: one of those comics where you don't know where they're going,
14:54
Speaker 2: but you don't even trust it, but you still go
14:57
Speaker 2: along with it. Yeah, yeah. And it pays off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:00
Speaker 2: And so I showed her Elephant in the Room, and
15:02
Speaker 2: then I showed her the one about the Pepsi can killer.
15:06
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
15:07
Speaker 2: Getting the receipts. Oh, that shit is so funny. Yeah, man.
15:10
Speaker 2: Who are your influences?
15:12
Speaker 1: Definitely Patrice, Living, Wanda Sykes. Brian Simpson and Roy Wood Jr.
15:20
Speaker 2: For sure.
15:21
Speaker 1: But I like a lot of comedians, man. I like...
15:22
Speaker 1: I was fortunate.
15:24
Speaker 2: To meet Roy. He's really cool. I got to hold
15:27
Speaker 2: him one time and I was like, dude was mad cool.
15:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did... We did a Traverse City Comedy Festival,
15:32
Speaker 1: which is like way up north.
15:33
Speaker 2: Okay.
15:33
Speaker 1: And he was one of the headliners. And he just
15:35
Speaker 1: like came, like he did his set at the theater
15:38
Speaker 1: and then they had another show and like a bar, like,
15:41
Speaker 1: a place where they usually do, like, a don't tell
15:43
Speaker 1: show or whatever.
15:43
Speaker 2: Yeah.
15:43
Speaker 1: He went, popped in over there, did 10 minutes, and
15:46
Speaker 1: then we was doing karaoke at this other bar. He
15:48
Speaker 1: came in there. He didn't do karaoke, but, you know,
15:50
Speaker 1: he just, you know, kind of kicked it with us,
15:52
Speaker 1: you know, gave us some game.
15:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
15:54
Speaker 1: You know, had a meal and then dipped, you know, but.
15:56
Speaker 2: Just a cool-ass dude, man. It's a trip, like, because, like,
15:59
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, you can definitely tell who's a comic
16:03
Speaker 2: and then who just... kind of wants to be a
16:05
Speaker 2: comic yeah yeah that is famous and it's like yo
16:08
Speaker 2: like he's a comic oh yeah like yo he's like
16:10
Speaker 2: i said he hangs out he's chill it's cool it's
16:13
Speaker 2: a game and then it's just like being helpful yeah
16:15
Speaker 2: and it's like oh he understands he gets it yeah
16:17
Speaker 2: like of course he went through the whole fucking process.
16:19
Speaker 1: Right yeah you could tell like he's one of the
16:21
Speaker 1: people that was like he was on the road and
16:23
Speaker 1: then he took took a chance on himself go here
16:25
Speaker 1: you know go to la or whatever then go to
16:27
Speaker 1: new york and then get a job you know and
16:29
Speaker 1: then just keep But it's always that keep working, keep
16:31
Speaker 1: working mentality, keep getting better. But it's like the way
16:34
Speaker 1: he writes jokes is the way I kind of like
16:37
Speaker 1: think about life. So I try to do it not
16:40
Speaker 1: in the same way, but, you know, but definitely an
16:42
Speaker 1: influence for sure, man. One of the best.
16:45
Speaker 2: I like how that's structured. Yeah.
16:47
Speaker 1: And then I like, you know, like just when that structure,
16:50
Speaker 1: Daniel Sloss, he got a special on Netflix, Jigsaw. I
16:55
Speaker 1: probably watched it, like, that shit helped me get divorced, bro.
17:00
Speaker 1: But it was, like, just the way you think about,
17:03
Speaker 1: like you said, like, the way you think about relationships,
17:06
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, you put it in a different perspective.
17:08
Speaker 1: And then, I think that's the best comedy, man.
17:11
Speaker 2: Like, you know. I like it, man. And, like, you said,
17:15
Speaker 2: so six years, and your influences, and are you born
17:18
Speaker 2: and raised here in Detroit?
17:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I lived, I was born here, and then
17:21
Speaker 1: I lived, my mom moved to California, so I lived
17:23
Speaker 1: in California from, like, second grade to seventh grade, and
17:28
Speaker 1: then we moved back, and then I've been back since.
17:30
Speaker 1: What part of California?
17:32
Speaker 2: San Diego. Okay.
17:33
Speaker 1: Oh, the nicest part. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It
17:35
Speaker 1: never rained shit in five years. I think it rained
17:38
Speaker 1: four times. We got a couple aftershocks, but no big
17:42
Speaker 1: earthquakes or nothing when I was there, but yeah, it
17:45
Speaker 1: never rained, and I would know because- all the, like,
17:50
Speaker 1: schools are, like, here, all the schools are inside. So
17:53
Speaker 1: it's one big building. There, it's all outside. So when
17:55
Speaker 1: you walk out your classroom, you're outside. So, like, when
17:58
Speaker 1: we couldn't go to recess, it's because it was raining.
18:01
Speaker 1: And I think, like I said, I think over the
18:03
Speaker 1: course of years, I think that only happened a few times.
18:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a trip, man, how I'm seeing on TikTok
18:08
Speaker 2: people that, like, the East Coast kids don't even believe it.
18:11
Speaker 2: And the West Coast kids don't even believe it, too.
18:13
Speaker 2: They're like, that's only in movies. They're like, no, that's
18:15
Speaker 2: how it is over here. And they're like, you guys,
18:17
Speaker 2: this is outside? They're like, yeah. As soon as you
18:19
Speaker 2: hit the door.
18:20
Speaker 1: And it's so wild, because if you just go north
18:22
Speaker 1: to Seattle, it rains all the time. And I've never
18:26
Speaker 1: been there, but that's just what they say. That's also
18:29
Speaker 1: a thing, too. It's like, why... why wouldn't you believe
18:32
Speaker 1: the people from there? Like, why would they lie about this?
18:35
Speaker 1: Such an insignificant thing, but it's like, if you do, uh, uh,
18:39
Speaker 1: like in Seattle, it's so funny. Cause it is, it's
18:42
Speaker 1: always gloomy. It's always raining.
18:43
Speaker 2: It's like London. And, um, if there's one day of
18:46
Speaker 2: sunshine and you have a show, no one's coming. They've
18:52
Speaker 2: been out all day, they've been kicking it, and then
18:54
Speaker 2: they're tired now or they're just trying to enjoy the
18:55
Speaker 2: rest of the day. Or tomorrow, they're going to wake
18:57
Speaker 2: up again early and go out tomorrow. They're not fucking
18:59
Speaker 2: with your show.
18:59
Speaker 1: Which makes sense because that's how it is here. Like comedy,
19:03
Speaker 1: I'm assuming the whole Midwest, but specifically in Michigan because
19:06
Speaker 1: this is where I am most of the time, it
19:08
Speaker 1: like dies in the summer. Because, you know, it's so gloomy.
19:12
Speaker 1: And it's so cold during, you know, from like September,
19:16
Speaker 1: October to like April, comedy shows are packed. You can
19:21
Speaker 1: pack rooms and stuff because people just want to be
19:23
Speaker 1: somewhere a little warm and drinking. But once that sun
19:27
Speaker 1: comes out, everybody's out. The Tigers suck right now. There's
19:30
Speaker 1: still people going to the games because they would rather
19:32
Speaker 1: be outside.
19:33
Speaker 2: That is so funny because I went to a game.
19:35
Speaker 2: When did we go? We went on Thursday? Or Friday?
19:38
Speaker 2: We went on Friday. Okay. I was saying, I go, hey,
19:42
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people at this game.
19:45
Speaker 1: And that's because last week it was 48 degrees out here,
19:49
Speaker 1: and now it's warm. again this week because Michigan weather
19:52
Speaker 1: is so finicky. You never really know. It snowed at
19:56
Speaker 1: the beginning of May. It snowed again. So it's like,
19:59
Speaker 1: When it's now that it's warm and it's going to
20:00
Speaker 1: be consistent, they'll be out.
20:02
Speaker 2: They're out all the time. And I didn't even know, like,
20:04
Speaker 2: this is my first time in Detroit. Okay. And it's a,
20:06
Speaker 2: it's actually, I really like it. Yeah. It's fucking nice.
20:09
Speaker 2: And it's like a nice little best kept secret. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, um,
20:13
Speaker 2: but I didn't know about the weather type shit here.
20:15
Speaker 2: So I went to, uh, I just went to weather
20:17
Speaker 2: and all I see, I didn't even look at the numbers,
20:19
Speaker 2: but I just seen rain and thunderstorms and I was like,
20:22
Speaker 2: oh shit. I brought hoodies. I brought hoodies. I look
20:26
Speaker 2: like an idiot. It's 85 degrees.
20:28
Speaker 1: It's raining. But that's why. Because it was so cold
20:31
Speaker 1: a week ago, now it's 85. Then the thunderstorms are
20:36
Speaker 1: going to come because it got so hot so fast.
20:38
Speaker 1: So it'll balance. It'll be hot for like a week.
20:44
Speaker 1: And then it'll rain really hard for two days. And
20:46
Speaker 1: then it'll be back in the 50s for a little.
20:47
Speaker 1: And then it'll slowly creep up to where it's good
20:50
Speaker 1: every day. from like, you know, mid-June to like late August,
20:55
Speaker 1: early September.
20:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
20:56
Speaker 1: But that's, you know, because it's sundress season. There's nothing to.
20:59
Speaker 2: Complain about, bro.
21:01
Speaker 1: We got to, you know, be out there with it.
21:04
Speaker 2: It's good.
21:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good time, man. It's a good time
21:07
Speaker 1: to be out. And that's what, yeah, like Detroit, it's
21:10
Speaker 1: wild how, I was thinking about it, like, we're very
21:17
Speaker 1: arrogant as Americans, so it's like, people still have this
21:20
Speaker 1: belief about what Detroit is. And Detroit has been, you know,
21:24
Speaker 1: it's been on the come up ever since they built
21:26
Speaker 1: Fort Field in like 2003, 2002 or whatever. And we
21:33
Speaker 1: had the Super Bowl there. So they had to make
21:35
Speaker 1: it night.
21:36
Speaker 2: And then when.
21:37
Speaker 1: We had the draft here a few years ago, That
21:40
Speaker 1: was an even bigger thing because it's so many people
21:43
Speaker 1: just outside. And I think they broke the record this
21:47
Speaker 1: year for the draft, like attendees. But we broke it
21:51
Speaker 1: when it was here.
21:52
Speaker 2: That's funny, it's Green Bay too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:55
Speaker 1: Because that's one of them places where it's like, football
21:57
Speaker 1: is life. So it's a big-ass thing. But most people
22:00
Speaker 1: don't know that. But I feel the same way because
22:03
Speaker 1: before I started doing comedy and I started traveling all
22:06
Speaker 1: over Michigan and doing comedy in all types of rooms,
22:08
Speaker 1: When I see people in camo, I just think that's
22:11
Speaker 1: the new Klan.
22:12
Speaker 2: Hood, bro.
22:13
Speaker 1: It was the same psychologically. It's just like that's how
22:16
Speaker 1: you think of a thing where you don't know about it.
22:19
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:19
Speaker 1: Right? And people still have that perception of Detroit unless
22:22
Speaker 1: you come. But now you come around. It's people on
22:25
Speaker 1: pedal pubs and shit. It's tiny white girls fucking walking
22:29
Speaker 1: poodles around and shit. Like you would never... Think of that.
22:32
Speaker 2: My whole thought process was, you know what's funny is
22:35
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, Detroit's downtown, I thought it was
22:39
Speaker 2: going to look like L.A. 's downtown. L.A. 's downtown
22:41
Speaker 2: is shit. Yeah. Like the Skid Row and the later. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:44
Speaker 2: But then you walk over and there's all the sports,
22:45
Speaker 2: and that's great. But most of it's all shit. Yeah.
22:47
Speaker 2: And I was like, I thought it was going to
22:48
Speaker 2: be like that. And then I came and I was like, hey,
22:50
Speaker 2: it's hella nice. It's hella clean. I was like, and
22:52
Speaker 2: on top of that, too, it's got a lot of
22:54
Speaker 2: good character. Yeah. The buildings are dope.
22:56
Speaker 1: And our homeless people are like, they're like, they're not
22:59
Speaker 1: out there.
23:00
Speaker 2: They're not in your face. Yeah.
23:01
Speaker 1: They're like, it's still like a little like, look, I'm home,
23:05
Speaker 1: but I'm, you know, they're doing something. They got a
23:07
Speaker 1: hustle or something like that. It's not just a scam.
23:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:10
Speaker 1: It's a, I'm for real, but it's like a Detroit
23:12
Speaker 1: grinded out. It's like, look, man, yeah, I'm homeless. I'm
23:15
Speaker 1: in a hard spot right now. But I ain't going
23:17
Speaker 1: to make it your problem. You know what I mean?
23:19
Speaker 2: Don't make me ask. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you know
23:21
Speaker 2: what it is.
23:22
Speaker 1: I ain't going to beg you. I ain't going to
23:23
Speaker 1: fucking chase you down for a couple dollars.
23:25
Speaker 2: You see me.
23:26
Speaker 1: If you're going to help, you can help.
23:27
Speaker 2: You know the situation. Yeah. It's so funny because that's
23:30
Speaker 2: exactly what I'm saying. Yeah, bro.
23:32
Speaker 1: But it's a weird, like I said, that's why. That's
23:36
Speaker 1: the good thing about the internet because I hate the internet.
23:39
Speaker 2: Like, if it was, if it wasn't.
23:43
Speaker 1: For comedy, I would not be on social media.
23:47
Speaker 2: Same here.
23:47
Speaker 1: But you got to promote. That's how you meet people.
23:50
Speaker 1: That's how you network. You have to have it. But
23:54
Speaker 1: the good thing about it is you can get insight
23:56
Speaker 1: into places, especially if it's people that are doing it
24:00
Speaker 1: and they don't have an agenda. There are people where
24:02
Speaker 1: it's like you can tell somebody. It's very easy to...
24:07
Speaker 1: to frame something. If you want to show the shitty
24:12
Speaker 1: parts of Detroit, you could easily... They do it on
24:14
Speaker 1: the news every night. Another person got shot. It's like, well,
24:17
Speaker 1: that motherfucker robbed me, so he had to get shot.
24:21
Speaker 1: It ain't just... Most of the stuff that happens around Detroit,
24:25
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's okay, but it's understandable. It's like,
24:29
Speaker 1: these people had a... Something happened. It's not a whole
24:34
Speaker 1: lot of just.
24:36
Speaker 1: People running up and, like, strong-arming you and jacking you.
24:39
Speaker 1: It's usually, like, they had beef for whatever reason. Yeah,
24:42
Speaker 1: there's history over there. Yeah, it's not, at least in
24:45
Speaker 1: my life. Now, I don't be in the streets like that.
24:48
Speaker 1: I do, but I'm just saying from what I know
24:51
Speaker 1: of people who are in the streets and stuff, it
24:53
Speaker 1: usually ain't nobody like, yeah, we gonna go here.
24:55
Speaker 2: On some random shit.
24:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a good place to rob tourists. Like,
24:58
Speaker 1: there ain't no shit like that.
24:59
Speaker 2: That's what it's like now in San Francisco, which is
25:01
Speaker 2: crazy because it's like California, like, you're more unsafe there
25:04
Speaker 2: than it was here, because I'm like, oh man, it's
25:05
Speaker 2: heckin' nice. you get your shit broken into. Yeah. You get,
25:09
Speaker 2: you know, you better watch your back, keep your head
25:11
Speaker 2: on a swivel. When you're out in the shopping center,
25:13
Speaker 2: I mean, oh boy, that was on the Niners, got
25:15
Speaker 2: shot in Union Square, which is a shopping area. And
25:19
Speaker 2: he was a wide receiver, he was a rookie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:24
Speaker 2: That's a trip, man. It's like, that's what it's like
25:26
Speaker 2: over there. So it's like, when I came over here,
25:27
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, it doesn't feel like that
25:28
Speaker 2: at all. Nah. I mean, but you definitely, I mean,
25:30
Speaker 2: if someone that knows street smarts or street, it's like, oh, okay. This,
25:34
Speaker 2: I always say, too, like in Vegas, because I'm in Vegas, right?
25:37
Speaker 2: And I'm like, it's bad, but it's not like hood. Like,
25:39
Speaker 2: ain't nobody trying to kill you. Just a lot of
25:41
Speaker 2: people walking around looking like they're eating sunflower seeds, but
25:44
Speaker 2: they're not.
25:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been to Vegas a couple times, so I
25:49
Speaker 1: know exactly what you mean. Yeah, and again, like growing
25:53
Speaker 1: up in Detroit, when it was a little hard, because
25:56
Speaker 1: it's like Little Caesars Arena, I went to school right
25:59
Speaker 1: over here, like right behind Little Caesars Arena. Cash Tech
26:02
Speaker 1: is right there. And Little Caesars Arena, it used to
26:05
Speaker 1: be a big abandoned building. I used to catch the
26:07
Speaker 1: Woodward bus home, and I saw a lady one time
26:10
Speaker 1: just walking down the street, and she just fucking stopped
26:13
Speaker 1: and just pissed on the street at like 3 p.m.
26:15
Speaker 1: Literally right where the front door for Little Caesars Arena is.
26:18
Speaker 1: And that's what I used to say. I was like,
26:19
Speaker 1: I think she's entitled to part of this. This is
26:21
Speaker 1: her property, bro. Y'all built on her land. But it's
26:26
Speaker 1: just crazy. Because I remember there's condos right across the street.
26:30
Speaker 1: So I was in school when they built them, and
26:31
Speaker 1: they were like $ 150, 000. Those condos are like $ 800, 000, $ 900, 000 now.
26:35
Speaker 1: And that was 20 years ago. Because I remember thinking,
26:39
Speaker 1: who the fuck would buy a house right here with
26:42
Speaker 1: this across the street? And now, look what's across the street.
26:45
Speaker 2: Is Little Caesars, is it from here?
26:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I see World Headquarters. Is it
26:51
Speaker 1: founded here? Little Caesars, I think, is founded here. But
26:55
Speaker 1: I think it's, is it Illich? Because it's the guy
26:59
Speaker 1: that he owns... He owns the Tigers and maybe the
27:07
Speaker 1: Red Wings. So the Red Wings and the Pistons share
27:10
Speaker 1: Little Caesars Arena, but the owner owns the baseball team
27:14
Speaker 1: and the hockey team. I think that's how it is.
27:16
Speaker 1: I'm not big on the owners, and I don't really
27:18
Speaker 1: watch baseball. But, yeah, I thought he was in– I
27:22
Speaker 1: don't know why I'm thinking Ohio too, but I know
27:25
Speaker 1: Little Caesars is from– Detroit, and there's like six pizza
27:30
Speaker 1: places from Detroit.
27:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Jets.
27:34
Speaker 1: I looked us up because I was like, damn, that's
27:35
Speaker 1: why we so fucking fat. We got all these different
27:38
Speaker 1: types of pizza found in here. Just straight bread and salt.
27:46
Speaker 2: They're about to start the other thing. I wanted to
27:48
Speaker 2: get you on the trivia. Are you good at trivia?
27:51
Speaker 2: Depends on the type. Sports trivia, yeah. Let's see if
27:54
Speaker 2: I can get you a sports centric. Okay. Because we have, like,

28:09
Speaker 2: this shit out in a minute. All right. So, boom.

28:21
Speaker 2: That's what it's supposed to be. Okay. So, boom. Watch.
28:28
Speaker 2: Look what I'm doing. This is crazy. Every time I... Okay,
28:30
Speaker 2: so if I go that, if I start going up,
28:34
Speaker 2: it doesn't let me do that. Then it moves that way.
28:37
Speaker 2: For some reason, I have no idea why. Fuck it.
28:39
Speaker 2: I'll do it this way. So sorry. I apologize. I
28:42
Speaker 2: should be way more professional than this. Here we go.
28:46
Speaker 2: Let's get you a more sports-centric one. Because it's got
28:50
Speaker 2: random stuff that's all over the place. I mean, we
28:52
Speaker 2: could do whatever.
28:53
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens.
28:54
Speaker 2: Okay. Then we'll go... We'll go with week 12. Okay,

33:04
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
33:05
Speaker 1: I'm bad with actors' names. So I remember the old
33:08
Speaker 1: one because it scared the shit out of me. But
33:12
Speaker 1: I don't know his name.
33:13
Speaker 2: He'd always be whispering and shit? Yeah, yeah. Oh, man.
33:17
Speaker 2: Did you see the new one? No. No, I didn't
33:19
Speaker 2: see it. I think it's Todd. Tony Todd? Okay. Yeah,
33:25
Speaker 2: Tony Todd.
33:26
Speaker 1: Because that's the same guy that's in the Final Destination movies. Yeah,
33:31
Speaker 1: but I didn't know his name. I know exactly who
33:34
Speaker 1: he is, but I don't know his name.
33:35
Speaker 2: Okay, how about this? What was Wesley Snipes' character's name
33:42
Speaker 2: in New Jack City? I don't know.
33:51
Speaker 1: I don't know. I should have stuck with the white stuff.
33:55
Speaker 1: Because then at least I would have had an excuse.
33:56
Speaker 1: I made it.
33:59
Speaker 2: Because, again, I'm bad.
34:00
Speaker 1: So I haven't watched New Jack City in a long time.
34:03
Speaker 1: So I can't think of the name.
34:04
Speaker 2: Or even what their gang name was. CMB, Cash Money Brothers.
34:10
Speaker 2: But it's Nino Brown.
34:12
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. That's going to hurt. Don't post this.
34:15
Speaker 2: Cut that out.
34:16
Speaker 1: I should have known that.
34:21
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think. Okay, how about this? Charles... Charles S. Dutton. Okay.
34:28
Speaker 2: He was in Menace Society, remember? He's the dad. Okay, okay.
34:32
Speaker 2: Of Sharique. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And he was in what
34:37
Speaker 2: TV show on Fox? He had his own TV show.
34:42
Speaker 2: It was long running.
34:44
Speaker 1: A long running TV show. Okay. I don't know why
34:55
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. Is it a cop show?
34:59
Speaker 2: Wait, on Fox?
35:00
Speaker 1: Was that Fox or HBO?
35:01
Speaker 2: He was a cop, though. Was he a cop?
35:03
Speaker 1: No, because I'm thinking of something very specific. But it's
35:06
Speaker 1: not NYPD Blue. What was the other movie?
35:08
Speaker 2: No, that's not him.
35:10
Speaker 1: That's somebody else. Charles S.
35:11
Speaker 2: Dutton.
35:13
Speaker 1: Ah, fuck. Because I know when you say the name,
35:15
Speaker 1: I'm going to know it. You said in the 90s?
35:17
Speaker 2: Yes, in the 90s, yeah.
35:19
Speaker 1: 90s TV show.
35:20
Speaker 2: Shit. Got to cut all this out, too. What? What
35:25
Speaker 2: the fuck is the name of that show? He played
35:28
Speaker 2: the cop. Yeah, I don't know. Rock. Remember Rock? Oh, wait, no.
35:33
Speaker 1: He wasn't the dad. He was the one that shot
35:37
Speaker 1: the kid.
35:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember.
35:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking the father of the kid, the one
35:41
Speaker 1: that was in jail.
35:42
Speaker 2: Yeah.
35:43
Speaker 1: So that's why I was thinking. If you would have
35:44
Speaker 1: said the one that, yeah, see, yeah, yeah.
35:46
Speaker 2: Rock. Yeah, I know Rock. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then
35:49
Speaker 2: what's another one? Oh, what page is the beauty on
35:52
Speaker 2: in Jet Magazines?
35:56
Speaker 1: Jet Beauty of the Week.
35:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jet Beauty of the Week, yeah.
35:59
Speaker 1: Ah, this is going, ooh. Ah, fuck. I'm trying to think,
36:08
Speaker 1: because it's not, because I was just going to say 69,
36:11
Speaker 1: but the Jet magazine wasn't big enough to have 69 pages.
36:15
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking like 21 or 28 for some reason.
36:20
Speaker 2: It's 43. 43? Yeah, yeah. Why 43? I have no idea,
36:23
Speaker 2: but it was always on page 43.
36:25
Speaker 1: That's very specific. I guess I never looked at the number.
36:28
Speaker 1: I was just like, you just open right to it.
36:31
Speaker 2: You always go, I always went to page 43. I
36:33
Speaker 2: was like, let me see what's going on over here. Yeah.
36:37
Speaker 2: That's why. I'm trying to think of another one. Because
36:42
Speaker 2: I don't want to be movie-centric anymore, because I was
36:45
Speaker 2: moving to TV, then to Jet Magazine, and I'm trying
36:47
Speaker 2: to think what else to... Sports. Let's do sports.
36:50
Speaker 1: If you think any sports trivia.
36:51
Speaker 2: Okay, sports trivia. Here we go. Let me see. Name. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, wait.
37:00
Speaker 2: That's kind of sports. It's sports-centric, though. I was going
37:03
Speaker 2: to say, what was Allen Iverson's first shoe? What was
37:07
Speaker 2: the name of the shoe?
37:08
Speaker 1: Oh.
37:11
Speaker 2: It was a dope-ass shoe, too. It had like this.
37:13
Speaker 2: It wasn't patent leather, but it was like a suede.
37:17
Speaker 2: It was dope. It was also like a shiny thing.
37:20
Speaker 1: Was it called The Answer?
37:23
Speaker 2: That was the second shoe. Oh, okay. The first shoe
37:24
Speaker 2: was called The Question. Oh, all right. Okay. All right.
37:28
Speaker 2: Makes sense.
37:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know the answer.
37:31
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I'm trying to think, too, especially, like,
37:35
Speaker 2: who's your team?
37:36
Speaker 1: Oh, Detroit stuff. I mean, when I lived in San Diego.
37:40
Speaker 1: I rocked with them because the Padres went to the
37:44
Speaker 1: World Series and the Chargers went to the Super Bowl, but.
37:47
Speaker 2: They both got their ass beat, bro.
37:49
Speaker 1: The Padres got swept and the Chargers lost like 45
37:51
Speaker 1: to 13.
37:52
Speaker 2: To the Niners, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuck the Niners.
37:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got beat down. But it was just in
37:58
Speaker 1: that window when I lived there, they both had got hot.
38:02
Speaker 1: Tony Gwynn was everywhere. Who do we have? Natron Means.
38:07
Speaker 1: Was the running back for the Chargers. I remember all
38:09
Speaker 1: of that.
38:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
38:10
Speaker 1: But, yeah, always, you know, Pistons, Lions, Michigan mostly.
38:16
Speaker 2: Oh, I got another one. It's entertainment. Okay. So what
38:20
Speaker 2: is in the R & B group? Oh, okay. SWV,
38:25
Speaker 2: what does it stand for?
38:25
Speaker 1: Oh, Sisters With Voices. I know that one.
38:27
Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, post that. Post that clip.
38:29
Speaker 1: We're going to end on a good clip.
38:32
Speaker 2: Tell them where they can see you at.
38:35
Speaker 1: Brown Ryan Comedy on everything. But I run a show
38:39
Speaker 1: called Scumbaggery that.
38:42
Speaker 2: I did here.
38:43
Speaker 1: So it's like a regular comedy showcase show, but then
38:46
Speaker 1: it's like a panel. So everybody in the show joins
38:49
Speaker 1: the panel. And then we take turns reading anonymous scumbag
38:54
Speaker 1: confessions from the crowd.
38:56
Speaker 2: It's hilarious.
38:57

39:16
Speaker 1: I do it monthly because I work at a different club,
39:19
Speaker 1: so we do stuff over there. But yeah, Brown Ryan Comedy,
39:21
Speaker 1: I got a special on, I got an album or
