  Speaker 1: So, is this your first time in Detroit? Yeah, first time. Yeah,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: what do you think about it? It's fucking pretty sick, dude.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: It's not bad, huh? Yeah, no, it's not bad at all.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm from New York originally, so I'm, like,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: used to a big city. I lived in Astoria, Queens
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: for a really long time, and it's nice to, like,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: be back in, like, a city feel. It's pretty fucked
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: up how, like, my brain, what my brain was already
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: interpreting Detroit to be like. Yeah, yeah. Because it wasn't good,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you. I know, yeah. You know
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, I think that just growing up
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and hearing, like, when, like, the, you know, the automotive
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: industry boomed and it happened and then everything was, like,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Detroit was, like, the fucking economic capital of the country
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: at one point and then everything happened and then went bust.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: And I remember just, like, years ago seeing online, like, homes...
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: like these dilapidated rundown homes. Nobody lives in them anymore
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: for like a hundred bucks. You can buy them for
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: like a hundred dollars. Yeah. Seeing that shit. So I
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: don't know what I was expecting, but it is the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: complete opposite. I was expecting eight miles. Like I was like, yo,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: like it's going to be wild out there. And then
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I got to have on
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a swivel head on a swivel.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, all right. And then I, I roll
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: in here and I'm like.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Hey, it's, it's pretty cool. And it has a really
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: good vibe, a really good feel.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And then in this area– well, I mean, because I've
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: only been in this area so far in downtown, but
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: usually downtown is like– I mean, L.A.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: 's downtown is terrible. Sucks. So it's like– Sucks, dude.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I thought I would be– I thought, like, that's what
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I was coming into in Detroit.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You know, like an L.A. version– Of Detroit. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Of East Coast L.A. version. Yeah. That's exactly what I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: thought as well. But our friend Megan moved out here,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and– was like, oh, I love it. I love it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, really? And she's like, yeah, I love it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, cool. So that already changed my, like, okay, well,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's not what I'm expecting, but I'm glad
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that Megan loves it and she feels safe there. Awesome.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to get there. Yeah. I get there.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: First of all, I didn't know how close Detroit was
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to Canada. Me neither. Me neither. I was like, hey,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: if you take this left, you're in Canada. If you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: don't take it. No, I got in late. I was
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: trying to find a dispensary because I like to fuck
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: with those, like... The drinks? The drinks. Oh, really? Yeah. So,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and it was already getting late. It was like nine something.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, this dispensary is close. It's
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: like 1.6 miles. I'll just Uber over there real quick.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And then when I called him, I was like calling
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the number just to make sure, to see what time
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: they were going to be open and just to double check.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And then it said like Windsor, Canada. I was like, Canada?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: What the fuck? I was like, I'm calling a dispensary
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in Canada? That's 1.6 miles away from here? It's crazy.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I was telling Ronnie, I was like, I go, it's
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: almost as if like, Because El Paso is like that, too. Like,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: if you go to downtown El Paso, there's a spot
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: where you could, there's a little land, a little land bridge,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, a walking bridge.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And you just walk over into Mexico. Damn. And it's like,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it costs 50 cents. Wow. It costs 50 cents just
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to walk over to Mexico. I was like, oh, this
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is crazy. That is crazy.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: And then, so, like, here, I was telling her, too,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I was like, I pull off this exit. One exit
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: is just to downtown. And the exit is like, yo,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: this is taking you right to Canada.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: No, there's, like, a tunnel and a bridge, it looked like. Yeah. Yeah. And, yeah,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. I'd actually look on a map.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Every time I travel, I go on Google Maps. Yeah.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And then I kind of just zoom out so I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: can see where I am in the country or the world,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and I just take a little screenshot. Yeah. So then
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I can always go back through those and be like, man,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: look at all these cool places that I've been. There's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: so many places you could just drive to for a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: day and come back. From here? Yeah. I know, dude.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I know. I was like, oh, I'm this close to, like,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Chicago doesn't even stand that far. Like, I don't think
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: anybody would want to go to Ohio, but you can
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: if you wanted to. You know what I'm saying? It's
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: like less than an hour, I think. It's close. It's insane.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, so, especially like when you watch football,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh, they don't even have to travel that
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: far to go from one game to the next.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And Detroit is such a good, like, sports city anyway with, like,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the Red Wings and the Lions, you know. I mean,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the cool thing about, like, this club and its location
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: is right across the street is the stadium where the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Tigers play. Yeah, yeah. Dude, I was like, as soon
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: as I got in, I was like, I already knew
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Pistons were out of the NBA finals.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, shit. I was like, well, that's
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: kind of a good thing. But then I was like, oh, baseball.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I like baseball. And then I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: seen that they were playing. And I was like, oh,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: they're playing Seattle. So I could definitely root for the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Detroit because I'm an A's fan.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So I was like, oh, this is dope. It's a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: really sweet little area. And then the club is great.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: The club is amazing, bro. Yeah. It's just the whole–
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just impressed by the whole city. My Uber driver
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: was telling me when he was bringing me in here
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that Detroit is so safe. You can walk around. You
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: don't have to worry about anything. There's the police presence
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: is good, but they don't fuck with you. They just
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that they're they just want people
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to see that they're around. So you don't fuck around. Yeah. Things,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you know, and that's totally the impression that I got,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: because you'll see police presence, but they're standing outside. They're
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: talking to each other. They're laughing. People know them and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: they stop and talk to them. But just having them
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: around showing, you know, it just it just it just.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: It's just that's what the Uber driver was saying that, like,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: helped clean up and make the city, like, kind of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: a safe feel. And, like, there's just, like, this park
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that stretches all the way through. The views from where
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'm staying are incredible. I'm really impressed, man. Detroit looks
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: fucking dope.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Dude, I'm, like, I'm glad that we have a club
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: here now. So it's, like, because, like, being here, I'm, like,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I want to come back. I want to come back
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: when there's, like. a Michigan football game. I was like, yeah,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I'd like to come back. I'd like to schedule some
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: stand-up when there's like, when the season's happening.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I was like, that'd be dope, man. I really like
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it too.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And also too, I noticed it's really, for some reason,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know, for me, it seems very neat in
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: structure and it does also have this little town feel
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to it a little bit.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It's so weird. It is weird. Because it feels like,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it's so weird cause I'm still trying to grasp like
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: how big the downtown Detroit is because sometimes you go
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to like some smaller cities and they have a little downtown,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: but like you can literally, it's, it's, it's just that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a little downtown. Yeah. You know, this is a bigger
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: city that feels like a little downtown because it just,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it feels clean. It feels like you still have that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: big city feel, but it doesn't feel like, you know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: New York city doesn't even feel like, like, you know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the city of like San Francisco, which is also another
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: good size city. Um, it has that homey feel that like,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's got, it's definitely got like a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: soul to it. I love like cities with souls, you
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? This is definitely one of them.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to check out the food scene here too.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Like I don't even, I haven't even like touched, like
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I was talking to Ronnie and she was like, oh,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you got to go to this place, got to go
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to that place. And it's like, we haven't even like
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: seen the tip of it. Just like, we just, yeah,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you know? Yeah, like Detroit style pizza.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yes. You know? Yeah, yeah. I haven't tried it yet,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: but I'm here, so I got to get it, you know?
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: But I want to make sure I get it from
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: like the right spot. Yeah. I didn't know that you
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: lived in New York, though, for a while. That's where
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I was born and raised. That's great. So when did
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you get to San Diego? I moved to San Diego
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: like 13 years ago, so maybe like 2013. Okay. Yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: So growing up in New York, what kind of scene
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: were you in? I didn't start doing stand-up until– is
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that what.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: You're talking about? Any scene, like skateboarding or what you
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: call it? Because you're big into photography as well.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Um, I, dude, I grew up like, I don't know.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I like everything. Yeah. I grew up, I love, I
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: was like in the car scene. Um, but like in
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the music scene, I used to be in a band
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: with my friends. Uh, like it was a seven piece
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: ska band. We used to play like punk ska music. Uh,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: we won our, our, uh, our talent show two years
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in a row, junior year and my senior year of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: high school. Um, But I also wanted to be a director.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So I went to school for film and television and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: became a photographer. And then now I'm doing stand-up and photography.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: A lot of videography, too. Yeah, okay. Because that was
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: really what I wanted to do. But then it kind
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: of fell in. I started working for HBO and 20th
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Century Fox right out of college. And you start at
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the bottom, bottom. Like mailroom shit. Yeah, I was the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: stage manager PA. So I had to be the first
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: one there to open the entire stage. We were filming
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in Bayonne, New Jersey. And I would wake up at
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: 4 o'clock in the morning, shower, drive to Bayonne, New Jersey.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But I would have to stop at a gas station
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and grab different types of newspapers. I would have to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: stop at Dunkin' Donuts and grab different donuts and coffee.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And I had to bring all that shit. So when
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I opened the stage, I would set it all out.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: turn all the lights on. And then when like each
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: department would show up, there'd be food and donuts and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: coffee and papers and shit for them. So that was awful.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But the rest of the day was dope because it
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: was like a union job. So like I wasn't, I
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't do anybody else's job because like sometimes I just
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: get bored and I'm like, let me just sweep around.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: So one time I was like sweeping up all the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: sawdust and they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, put that down.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: You can't do that shit. That's our job. I was like, okay. Yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: they get pissed. They're like, yo, you're taking my job
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: over here, buddy. Yeah. Fuck you doing?
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like if you start doing that, then it
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: looks like I don't have nothing. They'll start getting rid
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: of me type of shit. The union is very specific.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: It's almost like it was immediate. Like, yo, you're not even.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: even though you want to do it and it's cool
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: with us, you're not allowed to fucking do that shit.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: We love the gesture. I was bored the whole time.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I was watching them build the set. There was a show,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: it was called The Jury, and Fox bought it for
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: 13 episodes, and then they canceled it after that. But
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: they had to build everything. They had to build the courtrooms.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: They had to build. And the cool thing about it,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: it was also on the same set where they filmed Oz.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: You remember Oz, that show? Yeah, I remember Oz. Yeah, HBO, yeah, definitely. Yeah,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: it was on the same place. So we still had
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that set all there. So all day long, they're building
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and moving shit back and forth. And finally, when they
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: started shooting, it got really cool. Because it's awesome to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: be on set when they're filming. Yeah. But then those
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: hours got, like, super long because of, like, call times
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and SAG rules. And then because I was the first
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: one in and the last one out, bro, there was
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: times I'm doing, like, 14, 15-hour days. And then I
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: had to drive all the way back home. Oh, yeah.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Especially in L.A. traffic. No, this was in New York. Oh,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: this was in New York. Okay, I'm sorry. New Jersey.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It was in New Jersey. That's right. Okay, okay. But, yeah,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: in the traffic, like, on a Friday night, sometimes it
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: would take me three hours to get home. Fuck you.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: So it was just crazy. And by the time the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: weekend came, like Saturday, fucking forget it, dude. I'm not
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: waking up early. There's nothing I'm doing. I'm exhausted. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: then finally, Saturday night comes. I might go out with
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: my friends. And then Sunday, I'm already like, oh, fuck.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I got to go to bed early tonight. And I
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: got work tomorrow. So it was grueling. It would have
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: been a lot better if I lived closer. And if
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I did those hours, I would have been able to
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: become the next thing. And then you could be an AD,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: which is the assistant director. And then you had to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: do like I forgot the exact amount of hours, but
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: thousands of hours among, like, next to the director. And
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: then after that, you can become a director and start
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: directing your own show. Interesting. I didn't know there was, like,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it was almost like you got to put in time
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: for it. I thought it was just like, oh, okay,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that's what you want to do. Then you just have
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to figure out how to get projects to do it. Oh, okay.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: So it's, like, it's in that aspect. Oh, interesting. Yeah.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It's totally different than what, like, I'm sure. Things have
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: totally changed, and that's the most frustrating part about going
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to college, learning film, television, learning how to do everything right,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the right frame rates, the lighting, white balance, everything. Hiding
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: lav mics, you know what I'm saying? And now, you're
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: watching these 20-year-old kids who don't know shit about dick.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Just recording on anything that they have. Using their headphone mic.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: In automotive. Yeah. Like using a DJI mic clipped to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: a wooden spoon. Yeah. Or just holding it. I've seen
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: someone holding it. That irritates me. I hate that big,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: giant one. It pisses me off, dude. It pisses me off.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I don't like the way it looks. It's just aesthetically ugly.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It's so ugly. And then some people, and the road
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: ones are even worse. You know, the big roads. And
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: then people put them in their shirt and they clip
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and they hang and they look like an asshole. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: they don't care. Nobody cares. You look at the views.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: It's all about the content. It's all about, yeah. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. My brother said to me a long
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: time ago, because I was always a PlayStation guy over him,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and he used to be an Xbox guy. I think
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: he's converted now and he's more of a PlayStation guy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: But back in the day, we used to argue, oh,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: PlayStation's better than... And then my brother Tim would be like, yo,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: look at Nintendo, because their shit isn't... They're not trying
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to compete with the best processing speeds and graphics like
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Microsoft and Sony are doing. But their games are so
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: fun that nobody gives a shit. It's not about the graphics.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: It's just about the content. That's what draws in the people.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: And it's the same thing with video. It doesn't matter.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Because for me, I'm like, no, I'm going to shoot
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: with an ND filter at 24 frames per second because
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: this is the right way to do it. And other
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: people just auto. And just don't give a fuck. But
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: as long as the content's good, the viewers don't give
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a shit. They don't care.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: They don't care how they're feeling. They don't care how
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: it's made. They're just like, does it taste good? And
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: on top of that, sometimes it doesn't even taste good.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: It's just like, I'm just used to this. I'm just
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: used to this, whatever you serve. It's funny because you
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: were talking about also things changing. You learn how to
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: do these things, and then that changes. But also, too,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: even frame rates all of a sudden change, too. Or
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: even cameras get so updated to where a point it's like, oh, well,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: everything that I learned on doesn't even matter.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: And the fucked up thing about it was like, it doesn't,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it will, that was only five years ago. It's so fast. Bro,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. Cause I remember, so I graduated high school
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: in 99. So I was in college, the rest, like
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the later part of 99, 2000, 2001, 2002. Right. So, um,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: at that time, HDTVs were coming out. Yeah. Like the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: first flat screens were coming out. And I remember the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: teachers telling us like, yo, we used to be, used
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to get away with like, just bullshit, staging and like
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: something that's plastic that you can paint to make it
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: look like it's I don't know what that container on
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: top of that refrigerator is but he's like with HD
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: we're not really going to be able to get away
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: with that anymore so the crafts department the department the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: design department they all have to step up and get
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: better shit so it doesn't look so cheesy and corny
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and then where, like, the school had really good equipment,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: so we would take out these really nice, you know, digital, but, like,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: still recording on tapes, you know, and we would go
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to the department to digitize it. So all the film
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: that we recorded, we would go into the digitizer, stick
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the media in there, and then have it digitized to
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a digital file that then we can edit. Yeah. With, like,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a program called Avid. I remember Avid. Yeah. It took
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: hella long to, like, what was the word? Render. Oh, yeah.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: It took forever to render. Oh, it was... It was
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a totally different process, time-consuming, but, like, you know, to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: think now that, like, what, 20 years later, dude, like,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: we're recording on our phones in 4K. Yeah. 240 frames
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: per second in 4K. Yeah, yeah. Slow-mo. Yeah. The lavalier
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: mics that are just so small. I love the DJI
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: mic mini. It's small. It's easy to hide. It's got
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: limiters built in. Some of them have 32-bit float audio,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: which I couldn't even imagine having that technology all in
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a pocket. in your pockets when I was in film school.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Dude, even when I first started doing podcasts, it was
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: just all audio, but now everything turned to all video.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: And it was like, oh, you need cameras, cameras. But
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: now I have this podcast set up. It's a portable
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: podcast set up. And it's like, yo, I have a
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: studio wherever I go now. And so it's a crazy thing.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And you put it in a backpack, bro. Yeah, I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: put it in a backpack. That's like what I'm saying.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: You couldn't even fathom having You know, what do you got,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: like a three-camera setup here? Yeah. Good audio.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I could have, and I brought two extra. So I
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: brought two extra cameras in case we want some other
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: shots or if we get a third guest.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like, oh, okay. So it's like, it's
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a trip.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: And then also, too, with, like, things changing with the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: equipment stuff, like, just like in comedy, too, like, everything
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: changes rapidly. Like, what was is not anymore. Like, even, like, bookers. Like,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that shit changed. Like, oh, I've spent.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: All this time. Getting in with this comedy club and now...
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: That's the hardest part is it does take so long
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to get in with a club. It does take so... Oh,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and then they got a new booker. Okay, so who's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the booker over there? Let me try to get in
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: with this booker. Maybe I couldn't get in with the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: other booker. Yeah, I'll be this guy's guy. Yeah, yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And then you finally get in with that booker and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you're getting booked at the show. You're getting booked and
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden... that book is gone. He embezzles.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: And now you're fucking right back to the drawing board.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: It doesn't like roll over. The new booker doesn't just
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: come in and say like, who was the other booker booking?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: So I can keep, you know, in a sense, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: think something like that sometimes, but it's rarely, then you
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: got to start all over. Well, that's the thing. If you,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: if you're in that scene or in that community, yes,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: it's easier. But if you're not, if you're from somewhere
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: else and that was kind of like on your yearly rotation,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you're like, Oh dude, like, no, no, I'm that.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And that's, That's because we're, I mean, same with me,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: like in this purgatory of comedy where it's like there's
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: no managers, no agents, no none of that, no representation
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: for you. So it's like you have to do everything yourself.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: So you've got to constantly keep popping in, hi, emails, da, da, da, da,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: type of thing.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I was at a festival one time. I got, there
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: were two bookers and club owners that gave me paid
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: work at their clubs. six months later, one of the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: clubs closed down, dude. And I was like, fuck dude.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? It's like, it's just, just
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: what happens, you know, it's, uh, it's frustrating always having
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to kind of stay on top of it. But yeah,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: just like you said, it's always, it's always changing. That's
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: just the way that it is. You know, it's always evolving. Um, what, what, uh, so,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: so you've been doing sit-up now for probably what, like, uh, six,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: seven years. So I actually started in the very end
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of 2016, like December, 2016. And, um, And then I
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: dabbled a little bit in 2017, just because life was
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: so crazy that year for me personally. And then at
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the end of 2017, I really started going a lot.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And then 2018, five nights a week, every week. I
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: had a notebook where every time I went to a
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: club and did a spot, every time I went to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a place and did a set, boom, just mark in. five, 10, 15.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And then so it was hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: by the end, by the end of 2018, 2019. Um,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and then I started working at the comedy store in
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: La Jolla as a door guy. Okay. Very, very end
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of the 20 of 2019 worked there for like three
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: months until the, until the, uh, pandemic shut everything down.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Um, so during that time, like I don't
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: really count 2020 as like a full year of doing
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: standup for me because, um, We only did it for
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: three months. In San Diego, it was really shut down.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: We were doing parking lot shows and shit. Yeah. But
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I don't really– I'm not going to count that as
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: a full year. You know what I mean? And then
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: in 2021, it didn't even like, I remember, I think
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: it was, like, June 21st is when, like, San Diego and, like, L.A.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and Southern California officially opened up. Yeah. Yeah. Was it
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the same up in, were you in Sacramento? No, I left.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I had left.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I moved to Vegas because, like, I went to Vegas
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: on a just, I went to Reno first to go
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: place a bet on the playoffs.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: And I was like, yo, and when I went to.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Place a bet, the restaurants were open and people were
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: eating inside without masks.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And then the movie theater was open. And I was like,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I love a movie.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: So I was like, yo, I took myself out to
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: dinner and I went and seen a movie. And I
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: placed my bet and I was like, yo, if this
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: is open, then Vegas has to be open because it's Nevada.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: So the next day I bought a plane ticket and
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I shot over there. And I landed and all the
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: comics that were out there were Working and hanging out.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Jack Jr.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Was out there, and he was at the Laugh Factory.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: And he ends up telling Matt that I'm in town
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: that owns the Stratosphere, the L.A. Comedy Club inside the Stratosphere.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: And he goes, Carl's in town?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah. And he goes, I'm going to call him.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: So he calls me.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: He's like, hey, man, what are you doing here? And
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, I'm just hanging out. He says, well,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I need a feature. Do you mind featuring? And I
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: was like, not at all. I would love to do
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: stand-up comedy. So I was like, yeah, dude. He goes,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: all right, cool, cool. Uh, for the whole week. And
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah. So I just stood there the
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: whole week and then I was like, this is dope.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: And I just, it was all open. And that was,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: that was January 6th. That was when they stormed the Capitol.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: That was that day.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Oh shit. Yeah. So I, yeah, it was crazy. That's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: a great opportunity, dude. You know? Yeah. I'm sure they
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: were like, when the whole, when the rest of the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: country shut down, people just, you know, they just do,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: do their own thing, do what, you know, like, and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: during that time people were going with people, you know,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: they were going to be with some family and, and
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: then the places that were open, like Vegas.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Um, what did you, you, you, you, you, you were
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: in San Diego and.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm a wedding photographer and I had like,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I lost every single wedding that I had booked that year.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Cause you know, everything was closed. Um, I was just,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I was doing, I was collecting unemployment and just laying low.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: It was, um, just like what everybody else was doing, dude,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you couldn't work, you know, there was nothing really to do. Um,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm a germaphobe already. So I was kind of like, fuck.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I saw it coming, dude. I remember in January that year,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: just being on stage. I'm like, you guys worried about
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: this coronavirus? People in the audience are like, no. And
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, shit. You should be. I remember that.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I remember hearing about it. And it would be very faint.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: And it was kind of like coronavirus was like, oh, yeah, whatever.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: It's like pig flu or bird flu. Or like Ebola
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: because Ebola right now is popping off in Africa. Yeah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: But I'm not really worried that it's going to come
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: here because we've seen that pattern so many times growing up. Yeah.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Like I remember like even like 10 years ago, it
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: would be like, oh, Ebola is on the rise. And
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it just goes away. People
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: aren't really talking about it anymore. So I think a
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: lot of people thought the same thing was happening with COVID.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: With that, yeah. And we had already seen like bird
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: flu and pig virus. Swine flu. Swine flu, yeah. Yeah.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: But then, like, some shit popped up on that cruise recently. Oh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the antivirus? Yeah.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: And I was like, why isn't that not being talked about?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: That seems a little scary. Because those guys were dying.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: People were definitely dying on that boat. They were like, what,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: three out of four people succumbed to their illness. I
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: was like, are you serious?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Dude, there was, what was it, Gene Hackman or whatever? Yeah. Yeah.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they died of. Henna virus, bro. Oh, shit.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: That's what that was? They died from that shit at
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: their home in Northern California. Shut the fuck up. They
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: were found dead in their home, and they were like, dude,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: how did these people die? And then it came back
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: that they had henna virus. They got henna virus. That
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: comes from mouse shit and rat shit. Oh, okay. And
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: you get it by touching something that was contaminated with
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: that and ingesting it. Oh, no. So it's not supposedly...
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Not really... like, human to human, like, oh, now you
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: get it. It's not supposed to be like that. So
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: that's why they're not really worried about, like, a pandemic.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: But if there was rat droppings and some shit on
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: that cruise, then people were fucking with it. Or they
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: just got somewhere. Yeah, no, man.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember when the coronavirus was, like, being talked
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: about in, like, December at one point, like, before it
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: popped off. And then it was, like, very faint. And
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: then They kept talking about it. And I just remember
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: just thinking beer because Corona sounds like a beer.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: And then once it shut down, though, March, what, 15th
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: or something like that?
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: 14th. Tom Hanks, like the first guy to get that shit. Yeah,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: in Australia. Dude, I lost a hell of followers because
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, I had posted, like after you got it,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: like a couple days later, I go. I was like,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: RIP Tom Hanks. And then people were like, that's not
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: even funny. That's not funny. You're hacking this and that.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: People all unfollowed me. I was like, I don't give
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a fuck. Who cares, dude? It's cracking. What's going on
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: over there? One of the cool things about this club
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: that I just learned is that they do these... Mic
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: drop's so sick because Hillary is... She loves history, and
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: she loves to know about the areas. When she travels,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: she's one of those people that goes up to the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: monument and reads the shit. She'll go to a city,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: she'll go to another country, and then do the tours.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I know she did one of the tours yesterday. It
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: was like hours. But she brings her kids with her,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and they get to learn all the history and all
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the stuff. So it's really, really fucking cool. And then,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: because she learns so much about them, she does... like
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: ghost tours. So they do a ghost tour in Plano, Texas. Okay.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: They do a ghost tour. They do a tour here
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: and they're doing one of the tours right now. That's
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: what you can hear. Okay. Okay. And I think it
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: starts here in the club because there's a lot of like,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: like on the, on the, on the walls, there's, there's
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of pictures with a little bit of information
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: in that, in that person right now. I think they're,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: they're going around and giving you the history and telling
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you about it. Okay. Okay. It's awesome, dude. It's a
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: really cool way. It's multicultural. Yeah. In this room. That's,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, no.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, so I wanted to get
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: to you on the questions and the trivia questions.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: We do trivia. And let's see. Test your knowledge. Let's
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: do it. So you won week 13. So here we go.
• 26:08

• 29:42
  Speaker 1: question in week seven? Let me see if I can

  Speaker 1: I was playing the fucking Power Rangers video game on
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the way, on my flight here. Okay. I got one
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: of those little retro arcade games, like consoles, you know, thing. So,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: there's the Black Ranger, the Blue Ranger, the Red Ranger,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the White Ranger, and the Pink Ranger. Then there was
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: a Yellow Ranger, too, but. Yeah, no, you said red, blue, yellow, pink, black.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: And there was white also. Oh, we got green. Oh,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: and the Green Ranger too. Because green turned into white.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Is that what happened? Yeah. So they got rid of
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the green and then there was a white? Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: And they became the White Power Ranger. Oh, so the originals,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: the white wasn't included in the originals. Which is, I
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: don't think PC nowadays, the White Power Ranger.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Well, at least they didn't get, you know. He didn't
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: like the Black Ranger. I think it was too controversial
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: at the time, maybe. They were like, we can't have
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: a Black Ranger and a White Ranger. Yeah. All right,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: here we go. Number three. But the yellow, yeah, the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: yellow ranger was played by an Asian woman. Yeah.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the black ranger was a black dude. The black
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: ranger was a black guy. That's funny that they made
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: her the yellow ranger.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: She died in a car accident. That's awful. That's crazy. Yeah,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: so sad. And I think the, I don't know if
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: the other ones died or anything like that. I was
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: watching an interview the other day. It was the black
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Power Ranger. He's all grown up now. It was pretty recent.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: It was like a year ago or so. I can't
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: remember if it was the Blue or the Red Ranger.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: One of the guys. Probably Blue. And they were talking
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: in real life. And they were actually talking about how
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: little money they made and how taken advantage of they were.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: And then the movies were coming out. It's pretty crazy.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: You should definitely look into that shit. I'd check it out. Yeah, definitely.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: It was interesting. But I don't know if I got
