what's up dogs oh hello howdy howdy
0:02
how's it how's it going truly happy to
0:05

0:06
instead of a circle you guys are all
0:08
facing
0:10
me intervention actually it is and it's
0:13
about your podcasting it's getting out
0:16
of hand too many people yeah that's
0:18
reasonable put the mic
0:20
down what is the ultimate number you are
0:23
willing to have like I know we're four
0:25
are you looking to break any records
0:27
like do you want to have 20 in this room
0:29
that would be great I think if I could
0:30
whoever I could physically fit I would
0:32
love to have like a huge podcast I
0:34
think' be pretty funny yeah I I do think
0:37
that too should 20 listenability wise I
0:39
think you could get up to like six or
0:41
seven like and actually have people
0:43
still be able to understand what's going
0:44
on I don't know man I've seen podcast
0:46
with two people that I could not listen
0:49
to should we like introduce ourselves or
0:51
is it like a you can if you want to I
0:53
just I'm just going to do it too far I
0:56
think it's funny to introduce people too
0:57
far into the podcast okay will that
1:00
that's good I was just wasn't sure if
1:01
there's like a moment where like yeah
1:03
yeah yeah okay let's go let's go around
1:05
Circle and I used to on Twitter Jack
1:09
this Jack folks this is Jack
1:11
dorsy oh he had good opinions
1:15
right absolutely I love your glasses by
1:18
the way I love man it's sort of it's
1:20
sort of warie Parker meet Studio 54 and
1:23
it's an incredible it's incredible life
1:25
I can't see anything it's making me
1:27
think of um like how that all glass are
1:30
kind of like year glasses but for the
1:32
year
1:34
zero you know what I mean no but I would
1:37
like you to expand on you know how
1:38
people have like 2002 glasses it's it's
1:42
zero zero or infinity or Infinity it
1:46
sucks cuz I'm going to a New Year's
1:47
party for 1959 tonight anything like it
1:51
that's a funny concept the New Year's
1:53
New Year's in the past yes sorry we're
1:55
all we know what's going to happen but
1:57
we got to do it
2:00
that looks like uh if the Olympics added
2:03
too many new sports it's like a
2:05
biblically accurate Angel
2:07
glasses good I agree yeah I just kept
2:13
going and I'm I'm I'm not going to stop
2:15
that could really do some damage in the
2:18
ocean oh yeah it looks like those uh I
2:21
feel like pipe cleaners aren't really
2:23
like the problem are they right well I
2:25
don't know if we have enough in there so
2:27
I don't know if we' really figured out
2:30
how dangerous they can be compared to
2:32
like true plastic tabs but this could
2:35
compete this could I could see some sea
2:37
turtles losing their life to that for
2:39
sure do you think there's trash that's
2:41
like good for the ocean like it like
2:44
fish used it as like a shell and it's
2:47
like that's all it's used for it's just
2:48
a positive shell like like bubble tape
2:52
like the uh bubble tape the The Hub buba
2:55
thing that opens yeah you got a hermit
2:57
crab in there I feel like anything they
2:59
can hide into like if you like a like a
3:01
bucket would be great yes guys this
3:04
conversation cannot leak you know like
3:07
we can't promote ocean
3:09
trash but like I'm only saying buckets
3:12
buckets that's not even trash that's
3:13
just you Dum buckets I think then and
3:15
then like an octopus can get in the
3:17
bucket and it's like wow this is the
3:19
first time I feel like I fit somewhere
3:21
yeah and then it's and then it doesn't
3:23
break down exactly exactly but I feel
3:26
like if you just throw uh like a plastic
3:29
bag
3:30
feel like all the ocean creatures be
3:32
like what do I do with this like I don't
3:33
go could be like a jellyfish dildo you
3:35
know you think but then it just like I'm
3:38
like well maybe jellyfishes will look at
3:40
it and be like this is I feel like this
3:42
is mocking me this is trying to be me
3:45
thring my culture ruing my life right
3:47
now cuz everyone think this is me some
3:48
people are thinking this is hotter than
3:50
me better looking you guys you saying
3:53
this thing look like me what the hell
3:55
this is what it look like to you I'm
3:57
actually I'm actually a different guy
3:59
than this a lot of people are saying
4:02
that and that is the issue and I I don't
4:03
want to cause them any distress
4:05
jellyfish Barbie plastic bags yeah
4:08
exactly but also it's like okay plastic
4:10
bags the trouble is that they're using
4:12
them as shells and it's too
4:15
soft people are just sming right through
4:18
exactly and they don't go grocery
4:20
shopping so they're not even going to
4:21
use that for right the bags yeah I do
4:25
think we can also throw guns in the
4:26
ocean and see what happens can you
4:28
imagine an octopus with with a gun with
4:31
multiple guns Titanic would have been a
4:34
much shorter movie if the fish had gun
4:36
you're going to do that but I'm I'm
4:38
going to give them books see which one
4:40
wins in the end books are G I'm going to
4:43
make all the pages laminated and all of
4:46
them are going to read shakspeare and
4:47
they're going to be like this is a bit
4:48
dated but I get what's
4:50
happening a good book at least send a
4:52
good book okay and they get one of Sally
4:54
Rooney's book their
4:56
choice that Twilight down I think if the
5:00
yeah if the fish readed Twilight things
5:02
would be different in the ocean not me
5:04
I'm sending the
5:05
Bible I need them to know about the good
5:07
War all of them it disrupts their
5:10
religious system they already have down
5:12
there you think there'll be a fish
5:14
Jesus really in
5:22
water so csome but everyone's like he's
5:25
got to be under something exactly
5:27

6:02
Forbes 500 Fortune companies as number
6:05
four uh right after Nike and my my stock
6:10
value goes up every day I do a lot of
6:12
bit inside of trading when I have the
6:14
time and uh I'm happy to be here to to
6:17
see what you know the
6:19
uh other classes of people are living
6:22
like this is
6:24
amazing that's honestly So Dope cuz my
6:28
name is Anna and my small village was
6:31
adversely affected by Muhammad's uh
6:34
company so I'm actually here to uh get
6:38
revenge it's impossible I'm not even
6:40
here this is you know uh just a
6:43
projection of me I'm home right now uh I
6:46
would never come to this area uh so yeah
6:50
I mean you can try and seek revenge and
6:51
I respect it I respect Revenge as a
6:54
concept uh whether you can pull it off
6:56
or not probably not uh that is to seen
7:00
all right okay what about you guys yeah
7:03
What's your deal I'm Tina I didn't come
7:05
here for insider trading but I'm
7:07
certainly interested in the
7:09
opportunity would be really excited to
7:11
explore that deeply deeply sorry for
7:15
yeah it is what it is yeah what happened
7:17
to the Village though uh like they they
7:21
took away all of our water and then they
7:23
took away all of our
7:25
beer uh the beer was what really got us
7:28
the water was fine whatever that we no
7:30
one could swim it was big deal yeah
7:32
those are Brewery bre Brewery Village it
7:34
was like a village have you heard about
7:35
the village of Dallas they even took
7:36
Luca
7:37
from Bad have nothing
7:42
left the local religion around like a
7:45
craft IPA or
7:47
something what are you doing here hey my
7:49
name is Sam I came here to make friends
7:52
but if I have to use trickery to get to
7:54
the top I'm willing to do
7:56
that unless I misunderstood the podast
7:59
guest in which case hey yeah when do uh
8:03
when do we do the elimination round
8:05
right if somebody leaves every round
8:08
we'll do it once in once every time we
8:10
hit the hour mark we can vote somebody
8:12
off well good luck with that I brought
8:15
my octopus that has you guess a lot of
8:19
guns I'm not going to be eliminated do
8:21
you think they could wield eight and
8:24
individually wrap a tentacle around the
8:26
gun and fire it or do you think they
8:27
would have to wield four and use two
8:30
arms per gun one to like reload and one
8:32
to hold the I think the arm is long
8:34
enough so like it would like wrap around
8:36
it and then okay it will wrap around it
8:38
here so it's in the middle and then the
8:41
free tip which is going to be used as to
8:44
pull the trigger so it only needs one
8:46
arm but what about um I guess the two
8:48
thoughts are reloading or if the gun
8:52
barrel goes like that and like your arm
8:55
has to be out of the way enough you know
8:57
what I mean like if you were to fire a
8:58
gun now and wrap your arms around it it
8:59
would hurt your arms right right that
9:03
doesn't
9:04
happen some people's yeah also I guess
9:08
would they be able to get over the
9:10
initial fear of a shotgun like really
9:12
kicking back into their shoulder would
9:15
would an understand they have eight
9:18
shoulders so do they have eight
9:20
shoulders should do they have shoulders
9:23
wait what an arm comes a
9:25
shoulder if octopuses PES [ __ ] right
9:30
would they have it's PCI octop octop PCI
9:34
PCI would would would they be like
9:36
between each
9:38
leg that be like seven no will be one
9:43
but for every two leg how many how many
9:44
how many [ __ ] you have between your
9:46
arms the thing that people understand
9:47
that four of them are arms four are legs
9:50
so two each two legs yeah four yeah all
9:53
I know is I better not meet one or I'll
9:55
fall in love that's what I'm hearing
9:59
feel we we a rift that's my
10:02
bad no I support I support I I think
10:06
that would be beautiful thanks yeah yeah
10:08
we we're all supportive here I think
10:11
we're in a I think we're I think I think
10:12
we were in a dry this feels like we're
10:15
in a dry riff in bra Zone oh
10:19
goodness hello everybody sorry about
10:21
that that's good we can we can continue
10:23
this space you put comedians in a room
10:25
and they just immediately jumped yeah I
10:27
don't I don't you put comedians in room
10:29
you don't know I don't know if they're
10:30
going to talk uh for real or if they're
10:32
going to be like we are okay let's let's
10:34
talk about real stuff what you guys been
10:36
up what you guys been up to this weekend
10:38
yeah why why you coming in with weird
10:40
energy Benny uh I truly think I was
10:43
dehydrated but now I'm uh but now I
10:46
immediately honestly it's cuz I think of
10:49
uh politics yeah there something
10:54
happen yeah know I'm definitely freaked
10:56
out because of all the politics stuff
10:58
and so I'm just like I feel a little uh
11:00
ridiculous do you know what I mean yeah
11:04
forgetting to drink water and forgetting
11:06
to drink water yeah yeah I'm on Reddit a
11:08
lot at work because I found out it's not
11:09
blocked and I don't want to do my job
11:12
and then uh it's almost
11:15
all politics and then every now and then
11:18
it's just like uh they stopped this
11:20
Amazon package Thief with like a gun
11:24
it's like oh yeah I guess that's better
11:27
than the politics I don't know they're
11:30
both kind of a bummer though feel like
11:32
they could have stopped them with like
11:34
the power of friendship or something
11:35
it's like the gun feels a bit extreme
11:38
that's true but it's a power not
11:40
everyone has it true I agree some people
11:43
only have gun no love the gun was what
11:46
was in the package yes you got use it
11:49
yeah I know politics these days it's
11:51
like it feels like we're at the end of
11:55
the world well the American World uh
11:59
more than it has ever felt like I don't
12:03
know if that it's just because I'm an
12:05
adult now and I'm just fully aware of
12:08
everything but it just like every day
12:09
it's like three million things just
12:11
happened and God it's like never ending
12:15
yeah oh yeah I guess we SK we schedu
12:17
this podcast uh a few weeks ago and I
12:21
just uh but in the last like 10 days
12:23
it's been like I feel like the entire
12:25
political system is sort of falling
12:26
apart yeah Elon like lowy taking over
12:29
the country yeah like so I feel I feel a
12:32
little I do I do love doing the comedy
12:34
but I am also like hello so that's my
12:37
weird energy is that I've been kind of
12:38
panicking the last like 48 Hours 72
12:41
hours you know what I mean um but we can
12:45
be let's be funny also we could be real
12:49
and funny we be real funny yeah no but
12:52
Elon Musk is lowkey taking over the
12:53
country like it's like actively
12:56
happening in a way that it's like kind
12:58
of comical yeah and yeah like he took
13:01
over the the money but let me let me
13:03
Pitch this question to you guys I know I
13:06
know he he took over like some element
13:07
of the treasure the question to you guys
13:09
is uh what are your thoughts on Comedy
13:12
in and this particular political moment
13:16
like where does it fit in uh can we just
13:19
be the can we just riff what's happening
13:22
you know what I
13:24
mean
13:26
hard oh it's getting real on the podcast
13:29
sorry yeah I don't know it's it's
13:31
yeah I don't know I think I think comedy
13:34
is is is is fine if you want it to be
13:36
fine but it's just I guess it depends on
13:39
who are we talking about you know cuz
13:40
like I feel like true uh I feel like
13:43
honestly normal people who always been
13:45
funny in good ways can continue to be
13:48
funny no matter what the circumstances
13:49
are but if we're talking about other
13:52
people who have helped shift this
13:54
country to the right wing I'm sure their
13:56
comedy is thriving I wouldn't call it
13:58
comedy myself
14:00
but uh yeah I think I I think we I mean
14:04
we shouldn't stop doing comedy because
14:05
there's a market for it and there's
14:07
people who like want when I hear your
14:09
comedy and when I hear your voice and
14:10
when I hear your jokes and they do not
14:12
relate to those other guys who are just
14:14
you know far right
14:15
extremists uh and I think and I think
14:18
the concept of just like you know being
14:20
like Oh yeah everything is bad we should
14:21
just like give up on stuff I don't
14:23
really subscribe to that oh yeah no to I
14:25
guess that's not what I I completely
14:27
agree with that and I guess thought is
14:29
um uh are we re are you guys re- angling
14:33
what you're saying with your comedy or
14:35
just sort of open-ended yeah cuz like
14:37
I
14:39
irresponsibly making comedy about things
14:42
that are political is kind of partially
14:44
how we got to Donald Trump you know like
14:47
he was on like SNL and stuff like he was
14:49
kind of like this like joke everyone
14:51
sort of joked about him and then all of
14:53
a sudden it's like oh wait the joke is
14:55
the president and it's like people
14:57
weren't taking him seriously because cuz
14:59
we were just too busy meing him if that
15:01
makes sense yeah so I think like there
15:03
is like a bit of a
15:05
responsibility we have with comedy in
15:07
terms of like making sure that it it
15:11
doesn't you know we don't just like make
15:13
light of everything in a way that it
15:15
just becomes mean to hell and then all
15:17
of a sudden it's like oh this is
15:19
actually affecting real people yeah yeah
15:23
I hate that I'm wearing these glasses
15:24
right
15:26
now it sucks
15:30
H oh yeah me too oh
15:34
[ __ ] I'll join you in that that thanks
15:36
yeah thanks but they're actually not as
15:38
easy as youd think to
15:40
make had to start before the podcast or
15:42
else I could not do my Rifts Insurance
15:45
to get those uh well I don't have them
15:47
for the regular ones so I guess I guess
15:50
I uh I do think that kind of what to
15:53
what both of you are saying uh kind of
15:55
combining it I do think that comedy
15:57
partially got us into this and I think
15:59
that we can use comedy to try to get us
16:02
back out of it because comedy is a form
16:04
of rhetoric and people have been of
16:07
course yeah yeah yeah I know it's weird
16:09
to say of course but people are like oh
16:10
it's just a joke it's like it's like
16:13
never Just J there's nothing think that
16:15
is just a joke I mean different classes
16:19
yeah like when the chicken crosses the
16:20
road you got to
16:24
admit but but that but that's the thing
16:27
I feel like it's it's I I don't know I
16:29
think I think also like the origin of
16:31
the you just got to go back to like why
16:33
did you even start doing comedy and what
16:35
do you enjoy about doing comedy and I
16:37
think if you're not a person who usually
16:39
does political comedy I don't think you
16:40
need to venture in it if you don't feel
16:42
like like sometimes people just honestly
16:44
just want to come to your show and just
16:45
feel good and just hear jokes about
16:48
silly stuff and whatnot and that's also
16:51
good if if just like if the goal just to
16:53
make people happy there there's there's
16:56
that and because I don't I don't and I
16:59
don't even think that people have to
17:01
agree with everything you say to enjoy
17:04
it because a lot of that like right-wing
17:06
comedy that people agree with they leave
17:09
shows and I feel like they just feel
17:10
more
17:11
angry and I'm like I don't think this is
17:14
making anyone happy except the person
17:15
making money right yeah grifters so yeah
17:19
but also I do think I do think and this
17:21
is I think this is something in America
17:23
specifically is that every like comedy
17:27
wise everything is a bit everything be
17:29
joked about everything is doesn't matter
17:31
everything like something will happen on
17:32
the news today uh like about like you
17:35
know something will happen in like
17:36
Palestine or something and people were
17:37
like well I got to get that joke out I'm
17:40
like just [ __ ] not every like you don't
17:42
have to weigh in when it comes to
17:44
everything not everything is a bit and
17:46
that's why sometimes like literally like
17:48
I just despise talking to people
17:51
sometimes who are like and I know we're
17:53
just riffing at the beginning of the
17:54
podcast just going about jokes and stuff
17:56
like that but but then but then you know
17:58
there was a point where you could like
17:59
shift like if you're being asked a
18:01
serious question you can answer it but
18:03
then I then I feel like some people like
18:04
I you hang out with or like you're
18:06
around and you're like okay we still
18:07
doing bits like it's like I just really
18:10
want to just one sentence in that is not
18:13
a bit Yeah but I feel like there are
18:15
people who are just like do comedy and
18:16
their heads are so wired to like
18:18
everything is a joke everything is a bit
18:20
and I'm just like shut the [ __ ] up like
18:23
especially if I'm talking about
18:24
something serious like if I tell you
18:25
something like bad that just happened to
18:27
me recently I'm not waiting for the
18:30
bit you know if I if there was a bit to
18:33
make I'll make it you know but I feel
18:36
like yeah I feel like it's just so
18:37
sometimes it's just so insufferable to
18:39
see and you see all of these like Clips
18:41
whether on Instagram or Tik Tok or
18:42
whatever uh and I think the goal is
18:45
always like okay something that happen I
18:46
have to get something out immediately
18:48
about it I have to have the takes so you
18:50
know obviously because it would go viral
18:52
if you do it now and it's just like it
18:54
kind of insensitive and or bad or a bad
18:57
take maybe you just maybe you should
18:59
have just taken some time to like think
19:01
about it or just said nothing at
19:03
all yeah yeah that's GNA be the clip
19:06
just
19:07
kidding wow [ __ ] us I
19:11
guess no but I I completely agree I
19:14
think that like you there we kind of
19:16
have to walk the line between comedy and
19:19
reality try to get a good competing C
19:21
here
19:23
and sorry and understand when you know
19:26
when to sort of Step over the line and
19:30
things like that yeah like it's every
19:32
these days something happens and
19:34
everyone like you said feels like they
19:36
have to get the takeout and it's like
19:39
okay some like sure some people are
19:41
adding to the larger conversation and
19:43
it's helpful but does everyone really
19:46
need to get their take out no that's
19:49
that's definitely not the case for
19:51
sure yeah I feel like a lot of people
19:54
are so
19:55
much smarter than me about a lot of that
19:58
stuff and I'm like oh I why am I going
20:01
to try to do a take about this I saw ail
20:04
Wakee at I think it was like best night
20:06
ever or something like a year ago and he
20:08
had like a really good take about
20:10
something and I was like I heard someone
20:12
after the show go up to him and say wow
20:16
that's exactly what I was thinking but
20:18
didn't know how to say it and I was like
20:20
no one has ever said that to me they
20:23
said that to me about my dead killing
20:25
the dog stuff yeah trying to think my
20:27
dog's organs all right all right
20:29
right like
20:31
what no it's it's like that's just not I
20:34
I'm very silly and I'm like I some
20:36
people are really good at points and I
20:38
think it's
20:39
awesome and I don't need to try to throw
20:42
my hat in that ring because I'm like
20:44
yeah I don't have I don't have a take on
20:46
this if I do have a take on something
20:48
I'll do it yeah but if I don't it's like
20:51
I don't what if I I do just pretend I
20:54
know stuff I don't I know some stuff you
20:57
just like you joke about what you know
20:59
it goes as simple as that like if you
21:01
don't know the thing or you're not
21:02
really interested in
21:03
it uh you just don't do it like uh a lot
21:07
of people have jokes about Donald Trump
21:08
for example I'm like I have nothing
21:10
about Donald Trump just not because I
21:11
don't have a take on him I just really
21:12
don't have anything to say that has not
21:14
been said yeah and I think it's I don't
21:16
just want to if if it was just something
21:18
to just so I can get some views or
21:20
whatever I'm like okay I'll have a take
21:21
on him that's 1 million other people had
21:25
but there's nothing new there it's also
21:27
such a moving Target where it's like oh
21:29
my God you see I saw like a video I
21:32
didn't watch it I uh I don't even know
21:33
what it was I saw a video that was like
21:35
from seven days ago and it's like here's
21:37
what's going on I'm like there's no way
21:38
that's relevant you know what I mean
21:40
that's like not even going to be
21:41
slightly relevant now yeah mhm Tina
21:43
what's your
21:44
take I'm no I'm PR saying well I like
21:47
what you were saying because I do think
21:49
in my like two of the like things that
21:52
ComEd can do is either like humanize and
21:56
let people process things that they
21:58
other wouldn't or the opposite to your
22:01
point of like turning something into a
22:03
bit that it just like isn't and then it
22:05
allows them like the humor allows them
22:06
to just dismiss it yeah
22:09
um that yeah I I mean I'm kind of just
22:12
regurgitating what you said but that is
22:14
something that I think about a lot where
22:15
it's like the way that people wield
22:17
comedy uh of like you're either punching
22:20
up or you're punching down I think
22:22
really or you're just being silly right
22:24
like if you don't have a take just be
22:25
silly um but even that is like you're
22:28
provid guiding like people a way to
22:29
laugh then is like a stress reliever or
22:31
something yeah I still so I'm going to
22:33
agree with that because I do think that
22:35
even the silly stuff is political from
22:38
like a couple different angles of like
22:40
one Whatever political context is not
22:44
talking about it is a political choice
22:45
but it could also be like an Escapist
22:47
thing there's different angles there it
22:48
depends but do it's like you know if
22:50
you're doing I've talk about this before
22:51
but like even if you're just doing
22:52
Pop-Tart material like Pop-Tarts are
22:55
like an affordable snack of the every
22:56
man you're choosing to associate
22:58
yourself with that even if you're a
23:01
billionaire Joe Seinfeld or whatever uh
23:04
and so you like whatever you choose to
23:06
talk about you're you can be affiliative
23:09
with it or you can like attack it or
23:10
whatever you know what I mean so like
23:12
you know are you reinforcing that it's
23:14
good to be somebody who uh like the
23:17
chicken one the chicken crossing the
23:18
road that might that's got a class
23:21
aesthetic of farmer stuff in a certain
23:23
sense like a little bit I just thought
23:25
it was a chicken that crosses
23:28
no no it does but I'm but I'm but I'm
23:30
thinking about where it's like it's got
23:32
an everyday quality to it you know what
23:34
I mean versus like if I said the the
23:37
chinchilla crosses the road it's like a
23:39
different something of that yeah yeah
23:41
it's not it's not that's that was a
23:42
little bit more that one's not explicit
23:45
crosses the road yeah but even even the
23:47
chicken crosses the road what to get the
23:49
other side that's an anti- joke so in
23:51
order to get that joke you have to
23:53
already be familiar with certain joke
23:54
patterns so that already requires a
23:57
certain cult contextual knowledge is it
24:00
an anti- joke I thought a play on the
24:03
other side as in like the chicken is
24:05
dead oh o yeah I always thought it was
24:08
like across the road to get to the other
24:10
side the other side so got while I
24:13
actually never I thought it was an anti-
24:15
joke ah could be that yeah like honestly
24:19
I feel like just an open to
24:20
interpretation whatever you want it to
24:22
be that's cool exactly let's see analyze
24:25
more Street jokes yeah yeah what is deal
24:28
with airplane food I've actually never
24:30
heard the real the real joke like I feel
24:33
like I've only heard it in that context
24:35
do you know I'm sure I want to say I
24:36
mean I don't I haven't really like heard
24:37
the exact real bit but there is
24:39
something to be said I don't me to go
24:40
down this Lane but the idea of like
24:42
airplane food used to actually be good
24:44
cuz airplane lines were like it was
24:47
fancier to take an aircraft so then when
24:49
airplane food became like actually
24:51
shitty that was something to make fun of
24:52
they were like when did airplane food
24:54
get bad you know what I mean oh okay
24:56
yeah so there was actually something
24:58
there but yeah y yeah I also think
25:01
there's uh there's a point to uh a lot
25:03
of people where they are
25:04
overexaggerating the importance of
25:06
comedy and I have to say that uh as in
25:10
people like people who has always been
25:12
political have political takes and stuff
25:14
like that and they think they're like
25:16
you I'm really doing something right now
25:17
and it's like well are you though like
25:19
it's just like you're sharing takes and
25:21
that's good I'm sure it's getting to
25:22
some people and maybe some people are
25:23
changing their minds about stuff maybe
25:25
they're not at all maybe they're just
25:27
laughing maybe they're already agree
25:28
with you and there's no point to even
25:31
doing that maybe you're just giving them
25:32
vocabulary to use when they meet other
25:34
people who are you know but I feel like
25:37
people think they're just like oh yeah
25:38
this is I'm doing this and this is
25:40
enough and I'm like it is not enough I
25:41
think if you want to like do real change
25:43
and stuff maybe you should also Venture
25:44
into other things more than just doing
25:47
comedy but it can't comedy can just be
25:50
all of it I don't know I've got a joke
25:52
that's definitely going to take down
25:53
Donald Trump so
25:58
well some of like Elon Musk and them
26:00
they really get affected by the bully
26:01
yeah you
26:04
know is not what you're saying really
26:06
change the world I do think to some
26:09
degree it changes
26:11
communication which in in the long term
26:14
can you know materially change the world
26:17
yeah I think I think it does I don't
26:19
know it's h this thing you're saying
26:21
like giving it too high status I think
26:23
people do do that where they put
26:25
themselves on this weird pedestal but I
26:27
think putting comedy in General on a
26:31
higher on a on a high plane of like
26:33
public persuasion yeah I think is
26:37
reasonable and so like changing The
26:39
public's opinion changes policy which is
26:43
which is politics and so I think like I
26:45
think the these big conservative
26:48
comedians who have these plat like Joe
26:50
Rogan changes American politics fny is
26:54
he like a he's a
26:55
comedian legally he's a comedian
26:58
ah um but no he's not funny I no I every
27:02
time we see a clip of him on his podcast
27:04
it's just like him being like utterly
27:07
like impressed by some guy saying like
27:10
yeah I drink my urine 12 times a day he
27:12
host beer
27:14
back hold hold is that I heard that
27:17
someone is drinking their urine 12 times
27:20
a day and can make it down to a podcast
27:22
Studio I'm pretty impressed i' expect
27:25
them to be dead
27:28
no you got me there you got me there
27:30
that being said he's also what is really
27:32
funny about watching him do comedy is
27:34
like five minutes in he's wearing these
27:35
silky little blouses and they they're
27:38
they're down to his knees every time cuz
27:39
he's a little little guy and he is
27:41
sweating he doesn't tuck them in all the
27:43
way no he doesn't and that is it's a
27:45
severe problem comedians to have is
27:47
wearing shirts that are too long but
27:50
it's a huge thing for Joe roken where he
27:51
gets so soaked yeah performing his cuz
27:54
he humps the stool so
27:56
hard he dresses like College improv kid
28:00
like he dressed like the collar shirt
28:02
and like pants and like kind of canvas
28:05
but he's strong because he didn't make
28:07
the team so he had plenty of time to go
28:09
to the gym the rest of us were in the
28:12
blackbox Joe yeah it does make you
28:15
sweaty when you go get on stage and you
28:17
have to somehow connect pronouns to TSA
28:21
to airplane all of it all you know
28:24
aspects of American culture and he does
28:26
that as
28:28
great to see incredible to see exactly
28:31
yeah I never got why you it's like a
28:34
taping so you can just like pause change
28:37
your shirt out like you don't have to be
28:39
sweaty the whole time like that's a
28:40
taping like they edit it all together
28:42
also would you get those abs for take
28:44
that shirt off you got all those ass but
28:46
I'm sorry you don't understand like he's
28:47
a man you want him to go and be like I
28:49
was defeated by my own sweat I think
28:51
there's like a fetish aspect to the
28:54
whole thing you know like I I feel like
28:57
at this point point there has to be like
29:00
like for every industry there is a
29:02
fetish it's like rule 34 for everything
29:04
that exists there's a porn of it I
29:07
believe for every industry and any
29:10
platform there's somebody that this
29:12
turns on and I think he is aware of the
29:16
fact that there is an
29:19
unspoken podcast fetish right you don't
29:22
you don't find P podcast por right you
29:25
don't so you know the people who are
29:28
getting off to that they just get off to
29:29
like normal podcast and he knows this I
29:32
think he's like 12 steps ahead so he
29:34
keeps the sweat he keeps the drench he
29:36
would love to hear you say that 12 steps
29:38
ahead I believe steps he keeps he keeps
29:41
the drench because ultimately he knows
29:45
there are people that are watching yes
29:47
for the sweaty look it's I bet it's
29:51
working on the people of Austin Texas
29:54
yeah where he lives they're like they're
29:56
like like I swear to God Joe if you move
30:00
that if you just if that sweat is away
30:03
you're not allowed here anymore exactly
30:05
you got to leave the city exactly I
30:07
think that I think that aversion of I
30:09
think that I think you actually are
30:10
hitting on like a like the reality of it
30:13
like I know I know you're like I know
30:15
this is a funny bit but I'm also like I
30:16
think there is a truth in the idea that
30:19
the like showing that you sweated so
30:21
hard and actually did the like I think
30:24
that is fetishized in that way like uh I
30:26
don't know that's a oh yeah cuz you're
30:28
doing work on
30:30
stage comedian he is a real hardworking
30:34
man I see all these liberal New York
30:35
comedians not sweating and they're
30:37
Cardigans but you see Joe out there and
30:39
he just got off the job site humping
30:42
that stool exactly humping is you know
30:45
the last
30:48
art I was thinking of um it's also a
30:51
source of energy in this country I've
30:53
never done it and I'm I'm embarrassed to
30:55
say that on the P I've never done sto
30:57
humping in my bit are you a real
30:59
comedian if you've never to stool a lot
31:01
of people would say I'm not we do we do
31:03
a simple handshake me sto at the
31:05
beginning I'm like I see you I
31:07
understand you but I'm not Joe Rogan
31:09
yeah and he get you got your standup
31:12
virginity yeah I was think like a How
31:14
It's Made of like at the sex toy shop of
31:16
like a custom sex stool it's a it's a
31:20
like a custom sex stall Factory but it's
31:22
the stool for comedians on stage and you
31:25
know what I mean you decide what coaster
31:27
you have for your yeah just a cian just
31:33
aan it's beautiful what an art form
31:36
right what the art form of Comedy is is
31:39
such a beautiful art form that can be
31:41
used to do anything you can have the
31:43
president on your podcast if you want to
31:45
anytime you want to you have us when you
31:47
can have Donald Trump on the podcast
31:49
right now I could what would you ask him
31:51
if he was in the podcast was that if you
31:52
asked him he might come yeah but I want
31:54
to know what would what would you what
31:56
would you ask him though what what would
31:58
be your first and second question if
31:59
Donald Trump was sitting in my seat
32:01
right now I actually know I know you
32:02
know what I would do yes I would also
32:04
have three other brookin altstein comics
32:08
and the very first thing I would do is I
32:10
would tell him the rules of the podcast
32:12
and then I would let him know I'd be
32:13
like do you want to do you want any sort
32:15
of arts and crafts and then uh yeah then
32:18
I'd ask him what he thinks of comedy and
32:20
politics that's beautiful who should I
32:23
have on with Donald
32:25
Trump oh oh Tiffany had
32:29
Tiffany hadish is she in the Brooklyn Al
32:31
no but I just I just want to uh live in
32:34
a world where Tiffany hadish and Donald
32:36
Trump have a conversation I think I
32:38
could Relish in that in a bit okay
32:41
here's a thought on is not a about
32:44
Tiffany hates in particular but I've
32:46
noticed there's a type of special that
32:48
is done where it'll be like so and so
32:50
presents these five other standard
32:53
Comedians and they each it's a full
32:55
special from all five of them but
32:56
because of the one person it's not an
32:58
indictment on dis reaction in fact it's
32:59
a kind thing for her not her bigest fan
33:04
I but like uh we've seen people do this
33:07
right so like she pal down this or
33:08
whoever but then it's always like
33:10
because that person puts their face in
33:12
like like front uh it kind of blocks out
33:16
the son of the other people you know
33:18
what I mean then none of the people get
33:20
famous from that no they don't they
33:22
don't yeah because they don't name them
33:24
really like they just give like so and
33:26
so presents women be shopping and
33:28
they're just like stage yes who are the
33:32
women why are they shopping give me
33:33
their names where I can find them
33:34
they're like I don't know guess watch it
33:36
or whatever or don't oh yeah and but
33:38
then it's like the most successful ones
33:39
have been where it's not one name but
33:41
it's like you know the Kings of Comedy
33:43
like four together yeah all I'm saying
33:45
is we should all do a thing we should we
33:47
should do that we should do a tour
33:48
together call it the I don't know what's
33:51
the name of the this podcast right bug
33:53
hiive bug awesome name there's a swarm
33:55
map the bugs oo whenever it's whenever
33:58
it's a group of people the Swarm M the
34:00
buggies that's cute The Bu I like it I
34:02
like that the bug Squad yeah part of the
34:05
reason that I think people the famous
34:07
people do the like here's five friend
34:09
people is I think they're in contract
34:10
with the streaming services to produce a
34:12
certain amount of work and I think it's
34:14
like a top out to be like oh I don't
34:16
have to do a special put their friends
34:18
on or something I think they're like in
34:20
contract to produce what is their
34:22
Brooklyn bar show I think it I think
34:24
it's like like if you're signed on to
34:25
Netflix for like a million dollars and
34:27
that means that that in 2 years you have
34:28
to put out two different things and
34:30
they're like I don't want to so I'll
34:32
have five people I'll say this sometimes
34:34
sometimes I'd watch them just because
34:35
I'm curious who and they like present
34:38
and I'm just like and this is not about
34:39
anyone specific I'm watching and I'm
34:41
like you've just presented me with the
34:42
worst people I've ever seen why would
34:44
you why would you do that to me why why
34:46
would you put your name on that explain
34:49
yourself but some of them have been some
34:51
of them might been good of course no
34:53
some obviously some are good but then
34:55
like some are like sometimes you like
34:57
you see two people who are very good and
34:58
then the other the other two I'm just
35:00
like this is you you should be banished
35:02
you shouldn't be here at all should be
35:04
kicked out of the country I'm glad
35:06
you're mentioning that because this
35:08
might be a controversial opinion but I
35:10
think
35:10
that we should gep comedy more AG you
35:15
know I think that we should be able to
35:17
vote someone out or like something like
35:20
maybe there like at the end you do one
35:22
show and you know at the end of the day
35:25
the audience gets to vote someone out of
35:27
industry and then you just have to go
35:29
like I don't know work in finance or
35:32
something I don't know just like I feel
35:33
like you know it's oh yeah yeah it's
35:36
it's too free you know there need to be
35:38
a bit more yeah free speech Just Too
35:40
free yeah you know okay so open mics
35:44
anybody can do them MH do you think at
35:47
that level it's fine and then we need a
35:49
barrier like it's kind of you know how
35:52
like um brackets you know how like it's
35:54
like smells like weed by the way you
35:56
guys notice that what smells like weed a
35:58
little bit uh SM
36:00
weed I want brag but yeah I've actually
36:02
been I've actually been smoking weed on
36:04
the podcast you no no I'd be freaking
36:08
out right now proba coming from outside
36:10
I think it is it's it's just funny your
36:11
living room no but like you know how
36:13
like um there's like brackets so like
36:16
shows should be like on a larger bracket
36:19
obviously it's like the most massive
36:20
bracket in the world but like it just
36:22
like keeps dwindling down right and then
36:26
like obviously there's going to be like
36:27
the top two comedians go up on a show
36:30
and then whatever then there's a winner
36:33
or whatever so you can win comedy there
36:35
should be a winner of Comedy every year
36:37
yeah last Comic exactly but if you lose
36:40
if you lose enough on the brackets like
36:42
early enough it's just like no more
36:44
comedy for you and that's how we like
36:46
trim the fat you know so new people can
36:49
come the next year but if you lost the
36:51
previously or like you're just you're
36:53
out of the comedy forever
36:57
forever forever some people for forever
37:00
some people have had multiple
37:02
opportunities to even make one good joke
37:06
and you're like why are you here what
37:07
are you doing what's going on I'm so
37:09
tired of you I need you to leave my head
37:12
yeah exactly I need you to quit and
37:15
we've all seen people like at clubs or
37:16
whatever that who are like there every
37:18
weekend where you're like what are you
37:19
doing who's responsible for this you
37:22
know I need to and I think that then
37:24
goes down to uh the people who are
37:26
gatekeeping comedy are not really doing
37:28
it well they don't have any power to
37:31
stop people or to get people to perform
37:33
comedy but a lot of club Owners and
37:35
stuff like that you see them and you're
37:37
like what is going on here like what
37:38
does that person have over you like are
37:41
they like holding a secret over your
37:42
head or something because there's no way
37:44
you think they're funny unless I'm
37:45
missing something here yeah yeah I'm
37:48
like they're like bombing every night in
37:50
your room in front of paying customers
37:52
this is insane I saw a guy bomb uh just
37:56
a terrible bomb really unfunny un
37:58
unlikable kind of painful to watch and
38:01
um maybe like a month later I'm on
38:03
Instagram and I see a real that he
38:06
posted from the show and I'm like and
38:08
I'm like didn't that guy bomb and I
38:11
watch it I'm like oh yeah he did just he
38:15
posted he doesn't realize he like has
38:18
wild to see some clips you'll see and
38:20
you'll be like oh you didn't have you
38:22
sometimes you don't have to put
38:23
something
38:24
out you're like two hey two clips a week
38:27
and it's like all right we'll scale it
38:28
back to one until those start doing
38:31
well or I don't know this isn't about a
38:34
particular person that I can think
38:36
of by that actually do you have it do
38:39
you have like a two CS a
38:44
week yeah saying that one hurt and that
38:46
didn't even apply to me just sometimes
38:48
you see it and you're like well no one's
38:49
laughing in here it's insane and it's
38:52
like to do you think and you have to
38:55
know because you seem uncom camp or
38:58
comedy like okay you know how Camp is
39:00
something that's like bad but enjoyable
39:03
perhaps that's kind of what they're
39:05
going for like is there I don't think
39:07
any idea they're bad I think I think
39:09
there can be I think there some Al
39:10
comedies doing that like Andy Kaufman
39:11
would have been a version of Camp type
39:13
in that way but I think that I think
39:15
these people I think if you're unaware
39:17
in doing it depends on how bad it is
39:21
it's also like if it's part of the bit
39:22
it's the bit the bit is bad and you know
39:24
it's bad and everyone watching it is on
39:26
on the bit then that's something but
39:28
like if you genuinely believe you're
39:29
doing something great uh and you don't
39:31
even cut the host intro of
39:34
you is the real for some reason why the
39:37
[ __ ] am I watching this why is it on
39:40
I've seen that so many times I had some
39:42
when I I used to run a show in Portland
39:44
some one time someone sent me their set
39:47
and when I say they're set they send me
39:49
their set
39:50
list like WR down on a piece of paper
39:52
written down on a piece of
39:55
paper and I was so confused by I was
39:58
like I was like what is going on here
40:00
there was so many too many jokes about
40:01
wheelchairs can I I've had the opposite
40:04
experience where I was trying to have a
40:06
I was trying to do this opportunity and
40:08
they were like we need your typed out
40:10
set yeah lot a lot of TV like late night
40:13
TV make you do that and it's
40:15
insufferable yeah I was like I was like
40:17
don't you want to see it they're like we
40:18
need it typed down no what youan they
40:20
make you type it out and when you type
40:22
out any joke you've ever said and you
40:24
see it on paper you're like this is the
40:25
unfunniest [ __ ] I've ever seen just
40:27
parting laughs
40:29
and exactly it is really bad wait I I
40:32
have a question though the people who
40:34
post the the reels of their set and it's
40:37
not funny you can tell cuz the audience
40:39
not laughing what what's stopping them
40:41
from like adding at least the audience
40:44
laughter like of them it's not do but
40:48
some people just I I will say I respect
40:51
them more if they don't because if
40:53
you're faking it that's insane but I'm
40:57
actually so glad you said this because
40:58
there's someone on Tik Tok who has like
41:01
over a million followers n not even it's
41:05
not faking the laughs it's faking that
41:08
are that they are in a room with people
41:11
yes oh they are doing they are doing it
41:14
from home they at home right now here
41:17
and pretending they're talking to an
41:19
audience and the background is like
41:21
photoshopped and everything and they're
41:22
just talking and then you hear the
41:24
laughs and then the club ends after 1
41:26
minute and
41:27
is that it's I kind of respect that cuz
41:30
they're just kind of like they're just a
41:32
SC they're just and all the comments all
41:35
the comments are like where can we see
41:37
you live to my living room yeah where
41:40
can we see you live because there's no
41:42
dates listed anywhere but you do have a
41:44
million followers so what's going on
41:45
here you should be booked anywhere you
41:47
want to oh oh my oh this is like oh wait
41:50
I kind of like that and even then if you
41:51
had a million followers you probably
41:53
could just reach out to comedy clubs a
41:55
certain maybe they have social
41:58
or literally just just don't don't tell
42:00
people there's a crowd I'm like no I'm
42:01
literally in my living room right now
42:03
doing the jokes who cares yeah I going
42:06
to say that's almost yeah then like your
42:07
your thing your gimmick exactly yeah
42:10
exactly that's wild wait I need this
42:13
account I I need this cuz this is I'll
42:14
try to find it this is fascinating guy
42:16
who's uh and the joke is he funny or no
42:20
not really oh he's not work
42:23
saying oh just to yeah to clarify how is
42:26
there a million followers if it's if
42:28
he's is he posting other videos too A
42:30
lot of it is like rage bait too I don't
42:32
know so a lot of people are like the
42:33
commenting inter viws are coming from
42:35
angry people and I feel like he knows
42:37
that and he just like keeps fueling them
42:39
with like the clips and he never
42:41
addresses you know their questions about
42:42
like the like this is not authentic and
42:45
they're like he's just posting other
42:47
Clips he doesn't care this moment just
42:49
changed my life yeah I might quite
42:51
literally go home and do that well here
42:54
here's the thing okay off if you do not
42:56
care about what people think about you
42:58
or what they say you literally can do
42:59
whatever the [ __ ] you want and it's
43:01
insane well in the flip side of this
43:03
coin uh and kind of just a more neutral
43:06
statement is just that um people don't I
43:10
mean people do care about the quality uh
43:12
but they also seem to care about
43:13
production value more predominantly
43:16
where I've actually seen some I've seen
43:17
people that I know and I really like and
43:19
I find it really funny put out like a
43:20
really funny clip but I'm like zoom in
43:24
you know what I mean or like uh like
43:26
zoom in put aor grade on bump up the
43:28
audio you know I mean uh or something
43:31
like that or and I'll see somebody where
43:33
it's like it's the looks incredible it
43:35
was shot really well it's so good but
43:37
that like it's like a minute of setup
43:40
and then like one of just one of their
43:42
punch lines or something right and I'm
43:43
like oh man uh but that'll do better
43:46
just because you can it's easier to look
43:47
at and listen to you right absolutely
43:50
100% yeah and this gu doing yeah and
43:52
also it just depends on the platform cuz
43:53
I feel like Tik Tok just like wants you
43:55
to do something more authentic just kind
43:57
of like you know I think the low quality
43:59
of it is uh an attraction to watch it
44:03
versus Instagram like okay this is going
44:04
to be high production this is my little
44:06
movie that I'm putting on uh so I guess
44:08
it just depends where you're where
44:10
you're putting it but again literally if
44:12
you don't care what people think and you
44:14
just ignore the comments and just keep
44:15
doing what you want to
44:17
do take a step back what do you guys
44:19
think of the real economy in general
44:20
what do you think because that because
44:21
we're kind of going like uh I mean I do
44:25
I do participate I enjoy it when I like
44:28
when my own reals do well yeah that's
44:31
fun but uh how do we feel about having
44:33
to participate in it though I got fired
44:35
for posting reels in my office really
44:38
yeah I was just kind of in the bathroom
44:39
and uh didn't think anyone would care
44:42
and then I got you posted a reel in the
44:44
bathroom come on yeah why the hell not
44:48
you can't talk into a mirror at a at a
44:51
work where the hell can you talk uh but
44:54
the answer is you can't talk into a
44:56
mirror at work because then they if they
44:58
find it somehow they say that's not
45:01
allowed yeah you Google work mirror and
45:03
you're there yeah because you're
45:05
recording in the restroom is that like
45:06
the idea no I think they were just like
45:09
wanting a little bit of a reason to fire
45:11
me and then they're like and he's
45:13
recording in the office no it it's
45:15
single stall so it's it's not like it's
45:17
a single bathroom it wasn't like I was
45:19
just in like a bathroom which was like a
45:21
bunch of stalls and I was like I don't
45:22
care who's in here oh I see no no I
45:25
think it was just the fact that like you
45:26
can't in the office and it's like okay
45:28
well no one knows this is an office I
45:30
mean I guess I'm in office cloth but
45:33
anyway what was the what was the bit oh
45:35
my God I think was it worth it oh my God
45:38
yes I did I'm on I'm on the damn bug
45:41
hiive yeah I think it was okay is that
45:45
like was that in Chicago and that's why
45:46
you were able to move here no that was
45:49
um in June of last year and then I was
45:52
unemployed for the
45:54
summer was that was that debate when you
45:56
stood in front of in the mirror holding
45:57
a
45:58
swasti yeah and I kept saying chose this
46:01
from okay okay I think that's why they
46:04
were like yeah but the bit itself was
46:07
like okay you didn't need to hold a swas
46:09
yeah but it could have been an any
46:10
mirror it could be any mirror I was
46:13
doing an extremely liberal bit and then
46:15
I wanted to balance I'm a Centrist
46:17
comedian and I wanted to balance it out
46:19
to go straight down the line so everyone
46:21
could find something they like and I
46:23
went a little too hard to one side I
46:24
agree yeah you should never do that I
46:27
you know how you know how like a lot of
46:28
people who portend pretend or like
46:31
portray themselves as uh census
46:33
comedians are actually conservative yeah
46:36
what would a truly genuinely Centrist
46:38
comedian be like like what would a bit
46:40
be like that You' be like that's
46:43
reinforcing true centrism I feel like if
46:46
you're talking s just like talking about
46:48
making a sandwich in your home just
46:49
being like you guys know when the
46:50
mustards out and everyone's like in my
46:52
own way
46:54
yes yeah what's what's a truly Centrist
46:57
belief why is everyone so mean to to Joe
47:01
Biden he did nothing wrong Joe did
47:03
nothing wrong sweet old man here's how
47:06
jok can still win the election they're
47:08
kind of like decorum type stuff is a
47:11
Centrist to be
47:13
like get in the kitchen and make me a
47:16
sandwich wife I'll come help
47:20
you it's like it's like oh we're making
47:24
the sandwich together that's
47:27
I don't think men and women belong and
47:30
women belong and also those are the two
47:32
genders yeah okay there we go cuz it
47:35
started out liberal ended up
47:36
conservative we met in the middle
47:37
everyone's happy and it's a beautiful
47:39
day cus think there are three genders
47:42
men women and other yeah it's like kind
47:45
of the
47:46
idea yeah I I don't I can't name a Cess
47:49
comedian if I even if I want it to to be
47:51
honest yeah currently I can't think of
47:53
an actual one popular like Rand paules
47:57
well I feel like a cc comedian would
47:58
would just simply shy away from Poli any
48:03
sort of stance they're kind of just like
48:05
I don't want to comment on that or
48:08
something so yeah is it possible for me
48:11
to use the restroom yeah go ahe yeah
48:13
yeah that's yep you guys can go on
48:14
without me I just we did that last pod
48:16
too the trick is while you're in there
48:18
you got to come up with a joke that's a
48:20
real snake SK oh [ __ ] oh my gosh thank
48:23
you do you think this could be made into
48:25
like sustainable um fashion fashion not
48:28
that one but yes no but like in general
48:30
is that something we should be like
48:31
could be socks [ __ ] it fast fashion I
48:34
don't know or a condom I don't know I
48:36
don't know if skin I don't know if the I
48:38
don't know if the shed skin is uh
48:41
durable a yeah the the skin itself if it

it's fun you you get to like you get to
50:42
attend any part of the wedding or you
50:43
just come when it's done I mean well I
50:45
think it's nice because you get there
50:47
before it's done but it is towards the
50:49
end so everyone's like so you can't
50:51
object a little like Tipsy happy you're
50:54
not dealing with like customer
50:55
interaction in the way that you would be
50:56
before or day of uh do you get food yes
51:00
well that's what it was really dependent
51:01
on the venue I was going to say it's
51:03
really nice when like the one I did this
51:04
weekend is like a venue I work a lot and
51:06
the they are very like you know like the
51:09
staff and everyone just like KS along so
51:11
it's like they put all the leftover food
51:12
in a certain place you could go through
51:15
yes like you give the bartender flowers
51:17
they'll give you a drink like that kind
51:19
of vibe yeah but some places are like
51:22
like I've shown up to like a really
51:23
fancy hotel before and they'll be like
51:25
you have to wait out in the cold until
51:27
it's like exactly 11: cuz we don't want
51:29
the guests to see that there's a
51:30
worker no that is that is bad but this
51:33
weekend great we got food we got a drink
51:36
gave everybody flowers I feel like uh
51:38
some people I know that work in I mean I
51:41
don't know if this happens to you cuz I
51:42
don't know if you're interacting with
51:43

51:45
work in like that kind of thing and
51:47
anytime there's like fancy people

54:39
ripping too much he was M I don't like

54:49
this over with really quick do do you
54:52
think he knew you were a comedian I
54:53
don't think he maybe he knew maybe he
54:55
did not but he was like making eye
54:57
contact with me and I was like would
54:58
look at him like this is good keep going
55:01
is there like a corny youth pastor
55:03
equivalent of V 100% really he was like
55:06
giving advice and stuff like that and
55:08
like and like the advice he was G giving
55:10
about like when he was using the script
55:13
he had he did okay but then when he like
55:17
goes off the script you can tell because
55:19
the advice start to get really bad it's
55:21
just like this is like I'm sorry
55:23
bringing some incel energy to this right
55:25
now and okay I I don't know about not
55:27
what you wanted to priests can't marry
55:30
and have sex right is that true for is
55:33
that true for imams yeah they can so
55:36
they can they can marry they can have
55:37
sex okay CU I always felt like that was
55:39
part of what was making priests corny no
55:42
no no no this guy was I don't know if he
55:44
was married or not but he can if he
55:46
wanted to uh and uh he was just giving
55:49
me the worst advice like every now and
55:51
then you got to go to your woman and say
55:53
you look
55:54
beautiful oh my God
55:57
every now and then say your cooking is
56:00

56:12
be like I have you in the same
56:15
bat one Cooks well and one doesn't which
56:18
one is it did he have any advice for her
56:21
uh yeah he said always tell your husband
56:23
you were like you're so intelligent
56:24
you're so smart even if he's not
56:27
I literally said that he was like even
56:29
if he's not that he's making eye contact
56:31
with you you're so smart you're so
56:32
intelligent you're handsome you look
56:34
good today uh I don't mind that you I
56:37
haven't seen you in days because he's
56:39
showing a lot of mistrust in this
56:40
marriage like from the jump but he was
56:43
telling stories that related to that
56:44
from like thousands of years ago about
56:46
like like you know and he'd be like
56:48
maybe your husband is you know
56:49
meditating in a cave and that should be
56:52
okay and it shouldn't bring it up and
56:53
like why why were you not around why why
56:56
you're not available he's not available
56:58
cuz he's doing stuff he's doing work and
57:00
he should respect that and tell him that
57:02
he's intelligent if I was meditating in
57:05
a cave I would need my wife to
57:07
understand that AG so I I will give him
57:10
that that like if that was something I
57:12
really felt like I needed to do okay I
57:15
would need my wife to understand
57:17
probably right next to you meditating
57:18
with you though she's the one yeah
57:21
exactly and please do not use this as a
57:23
clip but this is the story he uses was
57:24
like the Prophet Muhammad uh story of
57:27
meditating in a cave and I was like it's
57:29
it's different because I don't have a
57:31
cave meditated also she's Lally sitting
57:34
right in front of me right now uh mostly
57:37
her face is covered and I can tell that
57:39
she's laughing under that and I have to
57:42
look at you and pretend that this is
57:44
normal and we're having
57:47

57:49
so much fun yesterday was Fant yesterday

58:01
stayed in a hotel for two nights sick
58:04
cool oh yeah
58:06
fun weekend was exciting I was I was
58:08
literally about to ask yeah we were
58:10
doing we yeah what did you do this
58:12
weekend uh I went raw
58:17
vegan oh it just started this weekend
58:19
did that really start nice yeah I just
58:21
started February lives yeah well I'm
58:24
only doing it for for the month of
58:27
February which I've been told was
58:29
antiblack for me to pick that month but
58:32
it is what it is and here we are I
58:34
picked the shortest month to do it and
58:36
I'm day three in and I feel amazing okay
58:43
I know you okay uh I'm going to derail
58:45
because I think this is funny and I know
58:47
you're and I know you it's hilarious to
58:48
doing it for attention and I love it she
58:50
told me she's doing it for attention
58:52
with I'm not just saying that her face
58:54
to be rude she she told me that's why
58:56
but I was going to derail real quick and
58:57
say I love your hair and it's to me
58:59
giving currently your whole fit is uh
59:02
Orphan Annie after a few years with the
59:05
Warbucks anyway now I'm now I'm
59:07
rerailing and going you're raw vegan
59:10
whoa what is that about it's uh you're
59:13
vegan and you don't use
59:16
condoms no you're um so raw as in
59:20
uncooked H vegan as in no Animal product
59:25
so you're just eating like cold celery
59:27
like what the [ __ ] are you talking about
59:29
I'm eating lots of this is dog this is
59:32
[ __ ] cuz it's 3 days in I don't
59:34
trust that you're going to do this the
59:35
whole month I did this in 2023 for a
59:39
month what did you eat I ate salads I
59:43
ate lots of overnight oats rolled oats
59:46
oats were my staple I ate some
59:51
smoothies I made some interesting raw
59:55
vegan takes on some classic dishes uh
59:59
today well I guess I can't do it today
1:00:01
I'll probably do it tomorrow but
1:00:03
tomorrow I'm going to be making raw Pat
1:00:06
tie can't believe I'm letting you say
1:00:08
all this is this like an exercise and
1:00:10
just like can I do something hard or
1:00:13
well you know what inspired this was
1:00:15
there's a couple on Tik Tok that I saw
1:00:18
absolutely and my wife
1:00:21
yeah start the Tik Tok account two days
1:00:24
ago they're hot raw vegans and they
1:00:29
what's the high high means that most of
1:00:31
their diet like 90% to 100 is raw vegan
1:00:36
what's the other 10% the other 10% is
1:00:40
steak just every they have they have
1:00:44
nine raw items and then they eat one
1:00:46
huge cook you could have you could have
1:00:49
a cheap day so like they eat like cooked
1:00:52
rice or you know sometimes they like I
1:00:54
hope they cook the rice and um yeah I
1:00:58
just like they're they they sound so
1:01:01
like on the edge of
1:01:03
crumbling like they're like this is a
1:01:06
day in my raw vegan diet I started off
1:01:09
with 10
1:01:10
avocados like that's how they talk like
1:01:13
but they seem so euphoric like these
1:01:16
people have cracked a level of like
1:01:18
euphoria that I think only comes once
1:01:21
you've like done the raw lifesty okay
1:01:23
but they're to Tic Tac still I want my
1:01:26
my potential counter is that I believe
1:01:29
that couples like that are it's the
1:01:32
Euphoria is more coming from that they
1:01:35
have incredible sexual chemistry and are
1:01:37
[ __ ] raw and long people are not
1:01:42
they're doing like breath
1:01:44
work they're not [ __ ] because when
1:01:47
you're raw vegan for that you just lose
1:01:50
energy for a lot of okay I think that
1:01:52
they're laying in bed together and like
1:01:55
doing breathy spooning in such a way
1:01:58
that they're like like I think that that
1:02:01
their Euphoria is coming from some sort
1:02:03
of sexual place that's my best guess it
1:02:06
might not be true but based on what I've
1:02:08
seen of that kind of I I wanted to
1:02:10
investigate that myself so in 2023
1:02:13
December I did a month of raw vegan and
1:02:17
towards the end I cracked that feeling
1:02:20
of euphoria it's it's unlike anything
1:02:23
you've ever felt but then you stopped of
1:02:25
course okay
1:02:27
naturally yeah yeah why you stop because
1:02:29
I was withering away I mean it was like
1:02:31
I I simply did I could not so you were
1:02:34
just getting so close to death that
1:02:37
there was just a lightheadedness well
1:02:39
not like so you're not laded I can't
1:02:41
quite explain the withering away in a
1:02:43
way that it doesn't make it sound like
1:02:45
bad eating habits but it's just like
1:02:48
you're becoming unattached to your body
1:02:50
yeah it's like you're Lally like leaving
1:02:53
your body in a way that it's like it's
1:02:55
scary yeah but it there's a euphoria
1:02:57
that comes where you're like [ __ ]
1:02:59
happens and you're just like [ __ ] you
1:03:03
know like but in like a way that it's do
1:03:05
you ever feel like when you feel this
1:03:07
way like I wish this was part of me I
1:03:09
can access anytime I wanted to but then
1:03:12
lock it off when I don't need it it's
1:03:13
called doing whipits yeah you can get
1:03:16
that feeling kind yeah it's the whipits
1:03:18
feeling what do you get what what is the
1:03:20
feeling you get from whipits 30 seconds
1:03:22
of being really lightheaded and a really
1:03:24
deep voice well you can keep doing them
1:03:27
I want to pause real quick and say that
1:03:28
we are in an hour but I would love to
1:03:30
continue going if people would like to
1:03:32
as well I think I have
1:03:34
to because I have to go eat yeah
1:03:40
like like some sort of yeah uh so what
1:03:44
what are your thoughts on what if we did
1:03:47
keep what if anybody that wants to leave
1:03:49
could leave but then anybody that wants
1:03:50
to say can stay like everything I want
1:03:52
to say now cannot be on record and
1:03:54
that's the issue really yeah you want to
1:03:57
say some stuff well the insid of trading
1:03:59
stuff that I mentioned at the beginning
1:04:01
you guys want to make money or not oh
1:04:03
[ __ ] you're just going to do that when I
1:04:05
leave I'm sorry I just wanted to see
1:04:07
who's strong enough to handle the truth
1:04:09
about the stock market and it seems like
1:04:11
you were like you were like oh yeah raw
1:04:12
vegan yeah I couldn't handle it there's
1:04:14
no market like yeah the stock doesn't go
1:04:16
up or down it just goes like this oh you
1:04:18
know I realized I will say this before I
1:04:20
before I have to head out but going ra
1:04:24
this was the worst month to go raw vegan
1:04:26
right because like Trump is like talking
1:04:29
about tariffs things are like going to
1:04:31
get expens avocados that's a staple for
1:04:34
ra eggs yeah everything if I can't get
1:04:37
avocados I'm I'm going to wither away
1:04:40
truly so that makes sense there so like
1:04:42
they get healthy fats and they taste
1:04:44
good I need I literally need to go home
1:04:46
and eat an
1:04:47
avocado no you should you should grab
1:04:49
one now from like any store you could go
1:04:51
to the would you if you want to you just
1:04:54
go to the bodega get avocado come my
1:04:56
back you don't have one in your fridge
1:04:58

1:04:59
things I've ever heard Ben you don't
1:05:01

1:05:03
you one two're we're doing a countdown

1:07:12
to do well the first time I did I did
1:07:15
December and I didn't even go home for
1:07:17
Christmas and I couldn't explain to my
1:07:19
mother that so I just told her I was
1:07:21
working was that why you could I go home
1:07:23
for Christmas that year I incredible
1:07:26
I am unwell in ways that are not this is
1:07:30
an incredible Bowl There You Go Gang
1:07:33
there's some peppers and
1:07:34
carrots oh my God I wow were you trying
1:07:39
to jump out though uh in a bit I have to
1:07:41
go cuz both to get here I need to go a
1:07:44
porking spot yeah I know it is just
1:07:46
trying to make sure I get some some good
1:07:48
uh ComEd podcasting in don't worry I'm
1:07:52
not going to get you in this I must get
1:07:54
a barking spot back home wait Tina I
1:07:57
want to I was going to circle back and
1:07:58
go are the people that you work with
1:08:00
insanely rude to you often or no the the
1:08:03
rich people um it really does depend on
1:08:06
on the venue I do feel like the the
1:08:07
ristic gets as when yeah they've clearly
1:08:09
told the venue staff not to let the
1:08:12
workers be seen um which just feels
1:08:14
crazy uh like I've literally stood
1:08:17
outside in the cold because they won't
1:08:18
let they tell them that they tell them
1:08:20
don't let them be that's like it's well
1:08:22
it's just such a clear difference when
1:08:24
it does happen from how their events go
1:08:26
that it's like clearly some directive
1:08:28
was given to be like you know but um no
1:08:32
honestly sometimes it's funny I watched
1:08:34
a woman the other night
1:08:36
uh clearly was about to throw up and she
1:08:40
she ran to a door couldn't get the door
1:08:43
open and projectile vomited all over the
1:08:46
door and then it turned out that door
1:08:48
was the kitchen like not the bathroom so
1:08:51
it's actually great she couldn't get the
1:08:52
door open because the we would had to
1:08:54
kind of shut down the restaurant oh wow
1:08:57
oh my God biohazard or whatever yeah I
1:09:00
thought that was fun what's the nicest
1:09:02
place you've ever done like it's not
1:09:06
called catering what would it
1:09:08
be flowers flowers catering if you eat
1:09:11
them um
1:09:14
Can by the way peppers carrots everyone
1:09:18

1:09:20
incredible
1:09:21

1:09:28
Joan sweating it out you can
1:09:35

1:09:39
experiences in my life yeah sorry I was
1:09:41
in panic mode I uh it's okay man I just
1:09:45
came here to talk about being getting
1:09:46
married and I got that out my out of my
1:09:48
system I got I derailed you I feel so
1:09:51
empty now I'm with I'm obsessed with you
1:09:54
going from highest like a beautiful high
1:09:57
to in this room no I would I would like
1:09:59
I always like to find ways to bring it
1:10:01
back that's when you said like uh
1:10:02
Pakistani Phil MH and I was like my wife
1:10:06
is Pakistani and I was going to bring it
1:10:07
back to that and I interrupted and I'm
1:10:09
sorry about that yeah and then you were
1:10:10
like no it's not pronounced that and I
1:10:11
was like you literally what are you take
1:10:13
you're taking so much from me right
1:10:15
now I've been trying to I've been trying
1:10:18
to have you on the Pod uh but we kept
1:10:20
rescheduling a bunch of times and you've
1:10:22
been so busy and now I'm like oh that
1:10:24
makes sense busy with this
1:10:26
married getting married and now yeah but
1:10:28
then also uh this is sort of this is
1:10:30
going to be uh between me and you thing
1:10:34
uh conversation but I'll brw up you guys
1:10:36
in now because it happened a little bit
1:10:37
up top here uh when I have too much
1:10:39
coffee I uh I get insane paranoia and I
1:10:43
have like I can have like panic attacks
1:10:44
and lose touch with reality and it
1:10:47
happened when I was with mahamed um we
1:10:49
were in a uh Uber from a venue in um in
1:10:55
I'm talking about we were from in Uber
1:10:56
from a venue in um Portland back to uh
1:11:00
the hotels we were staying um and I
1:11:03
fully lost touch with reality and I
1:11:04
thought our driver was Jim Gaffigan and
1:11:06
I thought we're on like a reality TV
1:11:08
show uh hosted by Jim Gaffigan how much
1:11:11
coffee did this take oh so Port like uh
1:11:13
three Portland cups okay are those are
1:11:16
those more than normal to the point to
1:11:18
the point where I thought I was I was
1:11:19
stupid like that guy was Jim Gaffin and
1:11:22
I was just so stupid to notice but I
1:11:25
knew Jim Gaffin at the time was on SNL
1:11:28
and I was like there's no way he's in
1:11:29
Portland right now why would he be in
1:11:31
Portland and you told him you sound like
1:11:34
Jim Gaffigan and he was like I don't
1:11:35
know who that is I love uh Jeff Jeff
1:11:37
Foxworthy and all of these you know I
1:11:39
literally thought it was Jim Gaffigan
1:11:41
and disguise lying to me uh so like I I
1:11:44
think that happened a little bit up top
1:11:45
here I didn't have that much coffee I
1:11:47
had like two cups today but I for some
1:11:48
reason I think I have enough water and I
1:11:50
could feel my brain click into the
1:11:52
switch of panic and also just I've been
1:11:55
Pani in general um but I can I
1:11:57
definitely I have to be careful how much
1:11:59
caffeine I consume cuz I lose complete
1:12:01
touch with reality and that was so weird
1:12:03
cuz I I said I was like I was like dude
1:12:05
that was Jim Gaffin and you were
1:12:08
like what I don't know yeah that was
1:12:12
really odd okay I thought this was going
1:12:13
to be something else but thank God I
1:12:16
thought I thought it was going to be
1:12:16
like you kept canceling I was like this
1:12:18
guy hates me or something so why why
1:12:20
weren't we invited to your
1:12:22
wedding you could have come if you
1:12:24
wanted to I didn't invite any could have
1:12:26
been there from the start I literally
1:12:27
didn't invite anyone I just basically
1:12:29
like chose a venue and then I was like
1:12:32
people who love me in their heart they
1:12:33
will know where to go way to do it sorry
1:12:36
where were you yesterday I was told at
1:12:39
the door at the door that do you know
1:12:43
who's getting married today there was no
1:12:44
door person but and I was like no I
1:12:47
don't know who's getting married
1:12:48
today I know you said there's no door
1:12:50
person but I when I got there there was
1:12:52
a University of Iowa freshman asking who
1:12:54
I knew here right that was my little
1:12:58
sibling yeah I recruited him beat the
1:13:00
hell out of me too strong boy he said he
1:13:03
said can you pronounce the name muhanad
1:13:05
and you were
1:13:06
like said I could try but are you going
1:13:09
to get mad at me I'm just going to leave
1:13:11
right now and this is what you said and
1:13:12
I could hear it from the event itself
1:13:14
even the music was loud I can still hear
1:13:16
it I was being at the bottom of my heart
1:13:20
and I was like this person should not be
1:13:21
here do you have a DJ that's valid no DJ
1:13:24
just like a a really good music list and
1:13:27
two speakers that I've rented and just
1:13:29
uh we just was there a daddy daughter
1:13:32
dance those are usually my least
1:13:34
favorite things there was there was a do
1:13:36
there was a sister younger sister dance
1:13:40
wait that's really I respect that it was
1:13:42
yeah it was it was my my wife's little
1:13:44
sister was there she was she was she was
1:13:48
dancing hard she was going at it it was
1:13:51
yeah and she keeps asking me for like
1:13:53
the same song over and over
1:13:55
like can you play big dogs again I'm
1:13:57
like we'll play big dogs again if you
1:13:59
don't have that one person who is
1:14:01
dancing though they're really pulling a
1:14:03
lot of weight getting everyone else to
1:14:04
Dan we played big dogs and then she
1:14:06
wanted to play Kendrick and I was like
1:14:08
we played not like us and I was like
1:14:09
you're eight I was at a I was at a fully
1:14:13
the whole the whole venue is like a
1:14:15
minor yeah she's dancing to a song about
1:14:18
a pedophile yes or is that like a EXT
1:14:21
like sometimes I'll go to weddings and
1:14:22
I'm like oh it's all white people uh you
1:14:25
guys should it was the least amount of
1:14:27
white people you could ever see in your
1:14:28
life well I was I was I guess where I
1:14:31
was going was at I was at a wedding that
1:14:32
was entirely white people and they like
1:14:35
they're all like singing and dancing to
1:14:36
not like us and I'm like you guys should
1:14:38
like look at yourselves I don't know he
1:14:40
is like
1:14:42
you no no no no there was like four
1:14:44
white people overall mhm and one of them
1:14:47
was by the way I I maintain friends with
1:14:50
people who are when when I ever get
1:14:53
invited a wedding that's all white
1:14:54
people I'm like nice yes
1:14:56
finally I that makes sense to me no it
1:15:00
was it was good there were there weren't
1:15:02
many white people we played a lot of
1:15:04
like music and uh it was fun it was a
1:15:07
great time it was a great time overall
1:15:09
and uh the only the only bad part about
1:15:12
it is like when you go home after and
1:15:13
you look and you're like who did I
1:15:15
forget to
1:15:16
invite and then you start feeling bad
1:15:18
about it posting on Instagram people are
1:15:21
posting on their stories and then you
1:15:22
see who was looking at your story like
1:15:25
and you're like [ __ ] I forgot to invite
1:15:26
this person I should have invited them
1:15:28
now I feel bad now I have to have
1:15:30
another event to invite them to to let
1:15:32
them know this is do you have a partile
1:15:35
what's that part I did but because like
1:15:38
the space is limited so I TR if it was
1:15:40
up to me L I would have invited everyone
1:15:42
I know but I was like okay I can only
1:15:45
invite me between me and her like 40
1:15:46
people or so to F in this place if I
1:15:49
invite more it's literally uh like a
1:15:51
fire hazard we can do that uh but we
1:15:55
we're going to have a like a another
1:15:57
wedding too in Turkey oh cool so my
1:16:00
family can come too cuz my family
1:16:02
doesn't live in the States oh they are
1:16:05
they in Turkey specifically no they live
1:16:07
in Libya it's only two hours from Turkey
1:16:08
so it's easy for them to get there also
1:16:10
turkey is very beautiful and very cheap
1:16:11
to have a wedding there compared to here
1:16:13
it's [ __ ] insane a whole medical
1:16:16
checkup while you're there true I can
1:16:17
have even more more
1:16:19
hair that would be cool to like just
1:16:21
already have a lot of hair and then just
1:16:23
be like I just just want more it's so
1:16:26
freaky I was there in like May and the
1:16:29
amount of plastic surgery and hair like
1:16:31
implants and stuff it was more than you
1:16:33
can even expect I'm going to go bald so
1:16:37
that is like a CH decision tree I have
1:16:40
to reckon with is like do I do the hair
1:16:42
option at some point and do you wait
1:16:44
until it's very obvious you did it it's
1:16:47
like if I did it now you could tell he I
1:16:49
me but and then do you just go like no I
1:16:53
think it is kind of fun when people are
1:16:54
like I actually no I didn't do that this
1:16:56
is just a came back I used Rogan and it
1:16:59
worked like I think that would be a fun
1:17:01
way you could do it is tell people that
1:17:04
you didn't get it
1:17:05
done but just like make them think it
1:17:08
it's like yeah no I started eating right
1:17:09
I went raw
1:17:11
vegan turns out you go to the gym long
1:17:13
enough works here too I would just flip
1:17:16
a point honestly that's how I make most
1:17:18
most of my life decision yeah I I think
1:17:21
it could be cool to rock the the bald I
1:17:24
think you know what I mean
1:17:25
why not you
1:17:27
know that's very kind of you what do you
1:17:29
think can you think you can like the
1:17:31
balls no I thought about that when
1:17:33
everyone was shaving their head in the
1:17:34
in the pandemic you know what I when I
1:17:36
hear about Tina is uh cuz you you post a
1:17:39
lot about the WNBA I love the WNBA yeah
1:17:42
I want to know what do you do with what
1:17:44
okay first of all what do you do with
1:17:45
the WNBA what do I do with them yeah I'm
1:17:48
just there I've just been going to their
1:17:50
games for like I really thought you were
1:17:51
like you did like their social media or
1:17:53
something no I just love them I've been
1:17:55
going since like no one was at the games
1:17:57
and they were up in like Westchester at
1:17:59
the community center and I just love
1:18:01
what they're up
1:18:02
to at the westest community center they
1:18:05
were at the just like 5 years ago they
1:18:07
were at the Westchester Community Center
1:18:08
um every seat was Courtside it was what
1:18:11
do you think what do you think has
1:18:12
changed between that time and now how
1:18:15
would you describe the WNBA now I I mean
1:18:18
I think I do think having them in Arena
1:18:19
is just like you Baseline get respected
1:18:23
more um by just any one looking like
1:18:26
yeah definitely if you're like they're
1:18:27
playing at a community center yeah it's
1:18:29
crazy there's no yeah it's like if
1:18:30
you're not investing in them no one's
1:18:32
going to start right investing in them
1:18:35
um what's your favorite team I love the
1:18:37
Liberty but my favorite thing is that
1:18:39
there are two players who are dating and
1:18:42
they like broke up and then they had a
1:18:44
whole thing on the court where they
1:18:45
fouled each other and they they picked
1:18:48
each other up by the waste and everyone
1:18:49
was like they're back together
1:18:55

1:18:59
the for the elephant the deliberty yeah
1:19:02

1:19:17
like who's under no one knows no one has
1:19:19
any idea who the mascot is it's Mass

1:19:36
then but they never say who it is we
1:19:38
never know what they're like gender race
1:19:41
or ethnicity or anything we just know
1:19:43
it's an elephant an elephant can be
1:19:44
anything it could be an elephant inside
1:19:45
the costume it can be a baby elephant
1:19:47
inside the mother like a mudang type
1:19:49
situation a mudang type of thing wait
1:19:51
what's your connection to the WNBA uh
1:19:54
mostly through honestly I'm just
1:19:55
watching your stories to be like get
1:19:58
inspired I love that no I really do I I
1:20:00
do watch all of your stories I mean even
1:20:02
your Instagram account name is WNBA y
1:20:04
yeah exactly so I'm like which was I
1:20:07
will say a better bit when no one knew
1:20:08
what it was it whenever the season Stars
1:20:11
I'm like okay let's see what Tina's
1:20:12
posting I'm there way too
1:20:14
much I think I'm getting priced out
1:20:17
though I'll be there as much this year
1:20:19
it is no it is great you think the games
1:20:21
are becoming more expensive now they are
1:20:23
the season tickets tripled felt the same
1:20:25
way the same way when uh the inter Miami
1:20:29
had Messi on it and now the tickets are
1:20:32
impossible together yeah yes which is
1:20:34
like is not this is not even a team I
1:20:35
would watch right it was in for like
1:20:38
Messi all of these like all of these
1:20:41
players it's insane yeah yeah and I'm my
1:20:44
dream is to one day join a movement or a
1:20:46
team or organization and then price
1:20:48
everyone out because I joined it you
1:20:50
could start at the Chicago Fire they're
1:20:53
so bad and the games are so fun to go to
1:20:56
they're at Soldier Field where the Bears
1:20:59
play it is maybe a quarter full it's
1:21:02
like
1:21:03
$25 but you're saying you want to be
1:21:05
part of the the movement I'm saying
1:21:07
coming but you know what there's truly
1:21:09
nothing better than uh rooting for a
1:21:11
team that no one knows of or no one
1:21:13
respects or likes or thinks much of and
1:21:16
then seeing that team makes it to the
1:21:17
top of the table I do think that's true
1:21:20
it's awesome it's and everyone looks at
1:21:22
you and like you knew something that no
1:21:23
one else knew I'm like yeah yeah
1:21:26
Fu it's true people truly like two three
1:21:29
years ago would see my username was wnb
1:21:32
and and just be like why the like who's
1:21:33
watching that 100% yeah and now it's
1:21:35
awesome I have a friend who I knew for
1:21:37
like 15 years now who always been a fan
1:21:39
of uh Liverpool like the soccer team and
1:21:42
they have NE not won a single uh title
1:21:45
in like 20 years maybe and they won like
1:21:49
two back to back like the past two years
1:21:51
and he's been the happiest man alive and
1:21:54
he was since day one it's insane I'm
1:21:56
like I don't know what you saw on them
1:21:58
but you saw is I'm not um I'm not a
1:22:03
football guy I don't like really pay
1:22:04

it's the
1:24:24
yeah they keep each other company it's
1:24:26
like a podcast
1:24:28
exactly groups are so fun cuz you don't
1:24:31
know what's going to happen the dynamic
1:24:32
is what if like you got you get a group
1:24:34
in here and they all just start going at
1:24:36
it you know just making out
1:24:39
like is there still the Pod it's like
1:24:42
and we managed not to say anything about
1:24:44
any other comedian under the room and
1:24:47
said something that nice about them I
1:24:49
said I didn't like Tiffany
1:24:53
hadish I don't have to say that because
1:24:55
it's
1:24:56
common feeling among people do I think
1:25:00
do I agree with you absolutely I saw
1:25:02
some video I used to I liked her I guess
1:25:05
earlier stuff and I saw some video and
1:25:06
she was so insanely mean to like some
1:25:09
service person and I was like what the
1:25:11
[ __ ] no she's also like really really
1:25:14
like is uh jewy very Pro is she's she's
1:25:19
like a Zionist she's a big Zionist and
1:25:22
was like I'm going to go to Israel and
1:25:23
see if for myself nothing is happening
1:25:25
here it's kind of like a Michael
1:25:26
Rapaport kind of thing which is another
1:25:28
horrible horrible man no one has funny
1:25:31
he's not funny he's he's truly a bad
1:25:32
person I got to say uh my main
1:25:34
connection to Michael raport is that two
1:25:37
of my very good friends in high school
1:25:39
have that same last name so whenever
1:25:40
hear Michael raport my mind immediately
1:25:42
derails to like oh yeah Zack and Brenan
1:25:43
what did I up to no clue what Michael
1:25:47
he's a he's a bad person truly just the
1:25:51
worst unfortunately Benny can never find
1:25:53
that out cuz goes to his Wikipedia page
1:25:55
and he's just like what about my two
1:25:56
Pals yeah you do you have that with
1:25:58
anybody like imagine your imagine like
1:26:00
your good old friend was like Bob Trump
1:26:04
you're like oh yeah Bob you know I
1:26:08
mean yeah that would probably that would
1:26:11
probably make me like Trump more
1:26:14
honestly if I was just like oh that's
1:26:16
it's my friend from middle school i' be
1:26:18
like at least I can think about Darren
1:26:20
it is the it is the worst yeah cuz I
1:26:22
have my this friend Jim ano and I'm
1:26:25
like dude Benjamin he went to high
1:26:30

1:27:11
like it's from Attack on Titan it was
1:27:13
[ __ ] insane it's there one of those
1:27:16

exactly he's he's like he's behind you
1:27:22
right now yeah
1:27:26

1:27:36
beer store that's like Ben Franklin

1:28:01
impression of it
1:28:06
yeah all these Liberty Bell jokes are
1:28:09
cracking me
1:28:13
up that is that's a nice one like CU
1:28:18

1:28:20
do s I'm not impressionist again C
1:28:23
comedian I I I actually do like I'm to
1:28:25

1:28:28
vquest for the most part yeah yeah
1:28:31
everything that this is me
1:28:36
Benjamin sorry who was that I can't
1:28:39
remember who was here what do you guys
1:28:40
think of
1:28:41
Impressions can you can you do them are
1:28:44
we're GNA go with muhamed can't do them
1:28:46
can you do them oh I clearly could that
1:28:49
was the only shot SNL me they're doing
1:28:52
they're doing late auditions if you were
1:28:53
sick during the original ones this year
1:28:56
so now you can so they're they're doing
1:28:57
makeup auditions oh [ __ ] or if you
1:29:00

1:29:01
and you want to wear a different shirt
1:29:02
you can go do an audition this time can
1:29:04
you do annl audition now yeah what
1:29:07
impression would you do if you they put
1:29:09
who made it on a board
1:29:11
out oh for 5 minutes the whole time well
1:29:14
I'm probably I'm probably doing hitting
1:29:16
all of the
1:29:18
Muppets would you do an impression or a
1:29:20
comedy standup comedy set cuz some
1:29:22
people just do that that's true
1:29:24
I I I feel like I feel like I'd start by
1:29:27
asking for Alec Baldwin's phone number
1:29:30
and then going the whole I do really I
1:29:33
think if I got one I I would be too
1:29:36
excited to ask for Alec Baldwin's phone
1:29:38
number during
1:29:40
it I had a job interview at dualingo
1:29:42
once and I asked when I got to meet the
1:29:44
owl and they didn't call me back so I'm
1:29:46
not I'm not above ruining something that
1:29:48
would get me money but I think that's
1:29:51
how I'd start and then just really try
1:29:52
and do some crab work from there dual
1:29:54
job interview with dualingo you gotta
1:29:56
like mix in like some Spanish to show
1:29:59
you familiar with the app Chinese you
1:30:01
know what I mean or something you got
1:30:03

1:30:27
rejuvenated thank you and different
1:30:29
thank you so much so the raw vegan died
1:30:32

1:30:37
eating meat for three days it did is it
1:30:39
the thing it did the thing can you speak
1:30:42
Russian um I can't who's your favorite
1:30:45
character from Yellow Jackets yellow
1:30:47
what what show is Yellow Jack what's
1:30:50
yellow jackets Yellow Jackets it's about
1:30:51
that uh football
1:30:54
high school team that was going to
1:30:56
Nationals and then the plane crashed in
1:30:58
Canada and then we don't know what
1:31:00
happened to them in the world some
1:31:01
people were like they did cannibalism
1:31:03
maybe they did not but maybe they went
1:31:05
crazy but there's a a leader of the
1:31:08
commune and his name is her L and no one
1:31:10
knows to this day if she's actually
1:31:12
insane or just act the spirit of the
1:31:14
woods was talking through
1:31:18
her how does that connect to Russian you
1:31:21
should wash Yellow Jackets I see okay
1:31:23
yeah
1:31:25
I guess that's like the only question I
1:31:27
know Vladimir Putin uh D
1:31:31
die right accidental death M you from
1:31:36
the balcony what if you you go to SNL
1:31:38
you're like this is my impression of a
1:31:39
Russian guy and then you just speak
1:31:41
fluent Russian Russian I think they'd
1:31:43
appreciate that NE this is my impression
1:31:46
of a Japanese person
1:31:54
K and that was and that was I assume can
1:31:58
it do South Korean I can't do South
1:32:01
Korean is it different than North Korean
1:32:03
like is that South Korean it's just
1:32:05
Korean well I guess North Korean
1:32:06
probably has a different linguistic yeah
1:32:09
yeah like probably an accent and also
1:32:12
words are different for sure yeah cuz
1:32:14
like they they sort of like try to maint
1:32:16
I think they probably have a more strict
1:32:17
and quote unquote original Korean and
1:32:20
South is more Dynamic yeah South Korean
1:32:22
you don't really need to learn a lot of
1:32:24
sentences the main sentence you need to
1:32:25
learn once you enter South Korea is like
1:32:27
no I do not want to participate in Squid
1:32:32
game that's all you need to know and
1:32:33
then you have to ask about the currency
1:32:35
exchange too because they're like oh
1:32:37
yeah you get like 45 billion one like
1:32:40
what's that mean like American money you
1:32:43
know sometimes a country will have a
1:32:45
billion in the in like the currency and
1:32:48
I am I guess every country has that but
1:32:51
sometimes it'll be like oh this wasn't
1:32:53
as much as as I thought yeah yeah I get
1:32:56
I get I get excited to hear about how
1:32:58
much money someone's getting and then I
1:32:59
go never mind hearing that they were
1:33:01
only like they were killing each other
1:33:03
over like not not you know it wasn't
1:33:06
even a real yeah I was like I was like
1:33:09
oh really yeah but I kind of get it
1:33:13
though like I I feel like if I were in
1:33:15
Squid
1:33:16
games I would have voted yes we stay in
1:33:20
the game absolutely not I'm financially
1:33:22
at the point where I think I do squid
1:33:24
game for maybe like
1:33:26
12K I think I think if they're just like
1:33:28
we'll pay
1:33:29
off I think if they were like hey we'll
1:33:32
pay off like credit card debt for you i'
1:33:34
be like yeah I guess I guess that's I I
1:33:37
guess I'll take it I'll just ask use the
1:33:39
bathroom all the time during the games
1:33:42
it's good and just got to piss yourself
1:33:44
I don't think yeah exactly and I I can
1:33:46
also like say stuff like can you see
1:33:48
this in English like I don't know what
1:33:49
the rules
1:33:50
are uh you get a translator like I don't
1:33:53
play this game I actually didn't sign up
1:33:55
for this I thought this was a
1:33:57
tour I thought thought we were going to
1:33:59
a hostel this is for there are like over
1:34:01
400 people here I hate
1:34:03
it just the editing team has to do a lot

1:34:11
I need to speak to the who's the manager

1:38:03
oh people who screen time is like
1:38:06
concerning like that's like would see
1:38:09
that my audience they yeah I love wait
1:38:12
just real quick I love the like uh
1:38:15
you've been pretending to be like a
1:38:16
landlord oh and it's so funny to me
1:38:19
you're like I have songs I have I just
1:38:22
wrote other song I was I'm so excited to
1:38:25
put it out uh the gist of it is like you
1:38:29
know it's hard to have every job has
1:38:30
something really hard about it when I
1:38:32
say being a landlord's hard you know
1:38:35
people get all up in arms yeah like
1:38:38
you've been doing a lot of stuff about
1:38:39
like landlording isn't easy and yeah
1:38:42
that's very funny people don't
1:38:44
understand how hard it is to I agree
1:38:45
with you yes thank you to a victim a
1:38:47
single mother of three it's like hard
1:38:49
somebody has to do it not you you send
1:38:52
someone but I I do have to do it
1:38:54
actually you don't have and I did make
1:38:56
you all think about who laughs the
1:38:58
hardest in your crowd and don't worry I
1:38:59
am coming back to that
1:39:01
question I'm coming back to it now who
1:39:03
last the hardest in your crowd people
1:39:05
who are online too
1:39:07
much you I saw your
1:39:09
crowd wow you had a
1:39:12
very people who I thought were laughing
1:39:15
uh uh women in glasses who liked your
1:39:18
Tik Tok [ __ ]
1:39:20
me I'm L going to kill myself right now
1:39:22
but also you saw me in Portland so
1:39:24
that's different true there's only one
1:39:26
demographic in Port that was everybody
1:39:28
was in glasses exactly yeah all like
1:39:31
white women in glasses and who I didn't
1:39:33
say white but who have interest in the
1:39:35
Middle East even though I'm not from
1:39:39
there they love to talk to him about the
1:39:41
mil they they love to talk to me about
1:39:43
their uh foreign husbands and then and
1:39:45
they're like where's your husband from
1:39:47
they're like he's from France I'm like
1:39:48
he's not an
1:39:49
immigrant we're not the same you know
1:39:53
this is a lateral move for him it's not
1:39:56
for me so so does that does that read
1:39:58
partly then like you get people you get
1:40:00
people from a Tik Tok some people come
1:40:03
from Tik toks yeah some people come from
1:40:05
Tik toks some people come from like you
1:40:06
know just seeing me before in the city
1:40:08
like de P to see me I'm like but that's
1:40:11
if you're in Portland what's that that's
1:40:12
if you're in Portland though that's if
1:40:14
I'm in Portland yeah but if I was like
1:40:15
anyone else honestly it just depends
1:40:17
like I feel like I get a lot of like
1:40:20
uh uh yeah now I think that's a lot of
1:40:24
people like watch my videos online what
1:40:25
about AG age range what's what's your
1:40:28
age range age range I would say between
1:40:31
uh 26 to
1:40:34
45 right so not reaching gen z a lot of
1:40:38
a lot of a lot of older people would
1:40:40
bring their kids and they're like like a
1:40:43
woman texted me today and she was like
1:40:44
oh I'm 60 but I'm bringing my I'm
1:40:47
bringing my daughter who's 22 and I was
1:40:49
like that's a big age difference but uh
1:40:52
and I'm like she's she doesn't know you
1:40:53
and I was like I'm going to make sure
1:40:54
that she uh knows her mom has a good
1:40:57
taste nice you need to bring the hear me
1:41:00
out cake all of you exactly yeah bring
1:41:02
the hear me out cake I hope that I'm not
1:41:04
a hear me out case to anyone oh yeah you
1:41:08
an obvious I would love I would love
1:41:10
that someone I would love that someone
1:41:11
mentions my name and the other person's
1:41:13
like I already hear you
1:41:17
out yeah Tina Tina I've got a I've got a
1:41:20
an estimate of who your audience yeah uh
1:41:22
would be
1:41:24
um uh whatever part of Lucas Arnold's
1:41:28
fan base that's already queer that's
1:41:31
funny that is so that so specific and I
1:41:34
love
1:41:35
it but that's just because I think
1:41:37
that's how you're getting exposure to
1:41:39
certain groups of people I would imagine
1:41:40
through Lucas no I think all my
1:41:42
followers came from one video about a
1:41:44
spe my sister's wedding yeah and and
1:41:46
that when my follower account goes down
1:41:48
and not
1:41:49
up they all came for that and then they
1:41:51
see what else I'm posting and they're
1:41:52
like I'm actually not interested in the
1:41:53
they want to see post more wedding
1:41:55
speeches they want to see more wedding
1:41:56
speeches I've never gone back to that
1:41:59
there should be like someone who's paid
1:42:00
to make speech at different
1:42:03
event like there someone should pay you
1:42:05
to make wedding speeches people have say
1:42:08
has that happened and I never turn on a
1:42:09
check so I got a lot of DMS asking to
1:42:11
get well people people really love to be
1:42:14
funny and I think a lot of people out
1:42:16
there with money can recognize that they
1:42:18
can't but they're paying to write the
1:42:20
speech they pay me to write their
1:42:21
speeches no I'm talking about paying you
1:42:22
to get like go to the wedding give the
1:42:26
speech like a professional wedding Fe
1:42:29
Mas their face a job or like I think
1:42:32
there are Tik Tok girlies out there
1:42:33
doing that I couldn't dig myself into
1:42:35
that Niche it's a different it's a
1:42:37
different skill set like nobody knows
1:42:38
you pretend to be like the well the
1:42:40
whole thing was that the reason I gave a
1:42:42
speech was cuz my sister asked me to be
1:42:43
the maate of honor and I was like I
1:42:45
simply I I can't do anything that comes
1:42:47
with that role but I will write you a
1:42:49
speech um and they yeah and it was true
1:42:52
she didn't trust me to hold the
1:42:54
Rings it was funny I thought to myself I
1:42:57
was like oh this person's funny they
1:42:58
look like Tina yeah and then you were
1:43:00
like w oh it's
1:43:04
Tina freaking yeah so I do think
1:43:06
actually um I don't think I've ever
1:43:08
gotten any followers from Lucas um okay
1:43:11
but then what your actual crowd who in
1:43:14
an audience who's actually like laughing
1:43:16
the hardest like who I think yeah
1:43:18
probably probably the women and gays
1:43:21
generally and and the V diag of the like
1:43:24
the women that are friendly with the
1:43:25
gays and the gays that are friendly with
1:43:26
the women yeah difference between women
1:43:30
I don't
1:43:31
think but the the the women in gay
1:43:34
intersection Community yeah yeah yeah
1:43:36
yeah the when it like sometimes you see
1:43:38
a pair bonded woman and
1:43:41
gay or the gay
1:43:44
women you know what I mean a symbiotic
1:43:50
relationship oh which is familiar what's
1:43:53
that of like a witch's familiar I'm
1:43:55
interest hearing about your your tw's
1:43:58
crowds too cuz uh I didn't see your
1:44:00
crowd is it bugs yeah what is actually
1:44:03
your crowd I do think my crowd is um and
1:44:06
I'll and then I'll and then I'll roast
1:44:08
Sam yeah go I think I I don't think the
1:44:11
bugs are necessarily because that's not
1:44:13
a market um so if if somebody is eating
1:44:17
bugs maybe they're there but that's not
1:44:18
like a demographic you know what I mean
1:44:21
um so you think or so I think yeah I
1:44:23
don't know I've watched Lion
1:44:25
King but I
1:44:28
uhak I get um I think I get kind of uh a
1:44:32
split where I'm getting um kind of a
1:44:34
more like stemy crowd engineering kind
1:44:37
of Gamers and then I'm getting kind of
1:44:40
um like uh more like uh Barista a bunch
1:44:44
of tattoos um queer kind of crowd uh and
1:44:48
it's a kind of a a mix the overlap
1:44:50
between those two does that make sense
1:44:51
yeah mhm yeah that's not a roast
1:44:54
but to say your yeah yeah Sam who are
1:44:58
your fans who who left the hardest in
1:45:00
the crowd when you were there other than
1:45:01
me obviously every every show well
1:45:03
obviously yes but uh men that look
1:45:06
identical to be me but
1:45:10
smaller like guys that look just like me
1:45:13
but they're like I couldn't get up there
1:45:14
and do that you're kind of like Jack
1:45:17
harlo I feel like all of Jack harlo fans
1:45:20
look like Jack harlo true yes and I also
1:45:23
look pretty similar to Jack harlo uh
1:45:26
bodywise strong right right strong yeah
1:45:29
he has a KFC sandwich did you know that
1:45:31
the ja har didn't know that he does he's
1:45:35
he's from Louisville so that's why oh so
1:45:38
they have the Jack har yeah it's like
1:45:40
this how Sabrina carer has a a Duncan
1:45:44
Donuts drink that she's probably never
1:45:46
tried in her life dude in her in her
1:45:48
speech for the Grammys uh she um she
1:45:52
said she would go to this neighborhood
1:45:54
balak kinwood she's like from the Philly
1:45:55
area um but that was like the rich
1:45:58
neighborhood on the hill across the
1:46:00
river from where I lived in Manny youngk
1:46:02
and so when she said that I was like
1:46:04
that's so funny uh that's only relatable
1:46:06
to
1:46:07
me but she basically was like she said
1:46:09
she goes to D she went to dance lassons
1:46:11
in like the rich town on the hill I'm
1:46:15
like what the [ __ ] but she's from that
1:46:17
area she's from the Philly area yeah I
1:46:19
guess oh is she like a normal person or
1:46:21
is she like nepo I don't know she loves
1:46:24
an
1:46:27
espresso espresso an
1:46:32
espresso no she's I mean I didn't watch
1:46:34
the Grammys but I heard great things I I
1:46:36
only knew that cuz I saw people from
1:46:38
Philly talking about was no one else
1:46:39
pissed about a best Spoken Word album
1:46:42

1:47:05
butt yeah I didn't even watch it I
1:47:08
couldn't do it it's too much I this is
1:47:11
all like the preachy thing I was talking
1:47:13
about just kind of like what what were
1:47:15
we saying I don't know that cut so many
1:47:18
sketches there's like five sketches in

1:47:33
yeah uh but I but the grammies were fun
1:47:37
Kendrick won best uh record oh good and
1:47:40
they play not like us as he went to the
1:47:42
stage and everyone in the crowd said a
1:47:45
minor at the same time beautiful and he
1:47:48
was wearing a can Canadian tuxedo oh
1:47:51
that's so funny that's funny I was going
1:47:53
to say uh you do impra on one stage
1:47:55
doing a lot of improvised stuff just com
1:47:57
back to oh like when I do standup yeah
1:48:00
yeah CU I sorry I just was still
1:48:02
thinking about the hitting on what
1:48:04
crowds and my thoughts were like I feel
1:48:06
like I've seen you perform and I'm dying
1:48:08
laughing but I feel like do some people
1:48:10
do you think not get it or you think the
1:48:12
people you know I mean I think some
1:48:13
people don't like what I
1:48:15
do 100% do you think you do you guys get
1:48:18
that to be in the right room for it like
1:48:20
uh you're doing a lot of irony online I
1:48:21
haven't seen you in person on stage as
1:48:23
much but like uh like except for my show
1:48:26
which you did great on but uh you did uh
1:48:29
like online you're doing this landlord
1:48:30
stuff and I'm like I could see that also
1:48:32
not connecting uh or not or or people
1:48:35
not getting it um not not not connecting
1:48:38
but people not getting the irony I mean
1:48:40
when I when I perform I I don't I'm not
1:48:44
I don't call myself a stand-up comedian
1:48:45
because I don't do typical standup
1:48:47
usually I'm like doing musical comedy
1:48:49
but in like in a way that it's like
1:48:53
bad um like you're doing Camp yeah yeah
1:48:56
it's like supposed to be campy it's like
1:48:58
I rap I rap on stage I have these songs
1:49:01
and then I've been doing my apology tour
1:49:03
lately so I like perform the song and
1:49:06
apologize to the group had
1:49:08
offended and so I feel
1:49:11
like it's people just it's just kind of
1:49:14
entertaining I feel like that's because
1:49:16
it's entertaining people kind of just
1:49:18
like sort of get it for that reason
1:49:21
they're like it's it's so I feel like I
1:49:24
mean people aren't laughing all
1:49:25
throughout but it's kind of like when
1:49:26
you're watching someone perform music
1:49:28
it's like and then it's moving so fast
1:49:30
because it's rap it's not like you're
1:49:31
hanging on to every word but the how
1:49:34
about like the the when you post like
1:49:36
also by the way I'm going to pause real
1:49:37
quick and go do you do you have to leave
1:49:39
yeah in like two minutes I just uh need
1:49:42
to get the car back home totally okay uh
1:49:45
rock and roll uh where home I live in
1:49:48
Queens oh ah should we wrap up sure
1:49:52
Queen's New York yeah sorry the crazy
1:49:56
country one last question of just like
1:49:58
on those landlord posts people go like
1:50:00
what the hell yeah well I feel like the
1:50:03
internet like a lot of people are I
1:50:07
can't find a good word for it but like
1:50:08
there are a lot of people on the
1:50:10
internet that are stupid in a sense that
1:50:14
theyy it's not there they take
1:50:15
everything they see at face value and or
1:50:18
they purposely ignore the fact that
1:50:20
something is a joke in order to dunk on
1:50:22
it I think there a lot of Instagram yeah
1:50:24
there are people who know this is a joke
1:50:26
but they think that I can get the most
1:50:28
likes in the comment section by taking
1:50:30
this like at phas Value and dunking on
1:50:32
it it's like this weird mental thing so
1:50:34
I think running into that online is
1:50:37
always just a nightmare because I'm
1:50:38
always being like mostly satirical or
1:50:42
like mostly comedic online and there are
1:50:44
people who are just don't get that I'm
1:50:47
making a joke or they're purposefully
1:50:49
ignoring that because they think they
1:50:50
can get a quick one in there be like
1:50:52
it's literally almost always on purpose
1:50:55
they cuz they know there's no [ __ ]
1:50:57
way there's no [ __ ] way somebody for
1:50:59
yeah this is obviously hyperbole but
1:51:01
they're like yeah I'm like like
1:51:03
literally like like all of this like and
1:51:05
I delete comments sometimes cuz I'm like
1:51:06
