  Speaker 1: at Billy Frog's tonight and at the Grain Bend tomorrow. Jake,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I am so excited to have you on stage telling
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: jokes again.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. I think it's going to be a
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: lot of fun.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Now, how long has it been since you've done comedy?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Has it been a minute?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of thought of a habit during COVID.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: A lot of things changed back then.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you are one of my favorites from back in
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the day, and I was so excited. I reached out
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to three friends who I have not seen on stage
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: in a long time, Reed Baxter, Jake Cox, and Adam Wilka,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and all three said yes, which is awesome. And all
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: three are going to be on stage tonight at Billy Frogs.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: That's a free show. Folks, come out. Be a part
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of it. It's going to be a blast. If tonight
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't work, you can join us tomorrow night. There are
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: tickets for tomorrow night, but you can win tickets as well.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you how to do that here in a bit. Now,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: have you worked with Adam or Reed in the past, Jake?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I actually have worked with both of them. So this
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: is going to be a lot of fun hanging out
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: with those guys again.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Well, and again, three very, very funny comics. And like
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I said, I haven't seen you guys in a while.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, it would be really
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: fun to bring back some people that I haven't seen
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: for a long time. Get them out, doing some stuff.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And are we going to see some new material tonight?
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Are we going to see some dust off some of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the tried and true stuff tonight or a little bit
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of everything?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: A little bit of everything. Definitely trying out some new material.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I've got some brand new trauma to debut for an audience.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: But also dusting off some of the old stuff, some
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: stuff that I know tried and true.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Now, the thing that's really fun, it's not like you've
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: just been doing nothing for all this time. You are
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: like marrying people. Let's talk a little bit about that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: because I thought that was such a cool thing when
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I first met you. I'm like, wait a minute, you're
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a wedding officiant? So how long have you been doing that, Jake?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I started this professionally in 2019, but I've
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: been marrying people on and off for over 20 years.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: So you've probably married more people than any of my
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: other friends. Some of them married like one person, but
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: maybe two or three. But you've married hundreds of people.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, literally. A couple hundred, a few hundred couples a year.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So it's pretty big for me.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I think that's really cool. And again, not afraid to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: get up in front of a crowd of people and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: do whatever it is you're doing. So if it's marrying
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: somebody or... like tonight and tomorrow night, getting up and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: sharing some silly stories of sometimes it's things that didn't
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: go well, but we can laugh about it later. And
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: those are my favorite things. Would you describe yourself as
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: more of a storyteller?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. I'm a storyteller kind of guy. I'll probably
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: even share some weddings that have gone a little off
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the rails with you guys tonight.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I can't wait because I've not heard that. But I'll
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: bet there's probably, you know, doing what you do that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: lends itself to some kind of funny, interesting things, doesn't it?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. And I do, you know, weddings scaling from
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the little tiny intimate elopements to the giant ones at
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the wedding barns. And all of them have kind of... Weird,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: unique problems, and there's a lot of laughs.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I am excited. And there's probably some folks right now, like,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: riding to work, and they're hearing this going, wait a minute,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I think that's the guy that married us. So, you know, again,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you probably get in front of more people than most
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of the comics do, because every wedding that I've been to, there's,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of people at every wedding. So
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: what would you say is the biggest audience you've been
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in front of for a wedding? Is it hundreds of people?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it has been hundreds of people. I think I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: had a wedding with about 400 people in attendance. So yeah,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: it's been pretty big to keep that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: That is awesome. Well, I am excited to see you tonight.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You're going to probably accidentally marry some people while you're
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: at the bar tonight. So folks, if you want to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: get hitched, just show up. The next thing you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Jake's got a whole bunch of people married to each
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: other who didn't intend to be. But it's going to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: be a whole lot of fun tonight. Again, Adam Wilka,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Jake Cox, and Reed Baxter, three very funny comics who, again,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen in forever. And I'm so excited to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: see you guys tonight and tomorrow night. And again, I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for taking a little bit of
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: time to chat with me today. And if people want
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to follow you on social media and stuff, where do
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they go to follow Jake Cox?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. My social media presence probably isn't what it
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: should be, but they can definitely visit my wedding website. Yeah,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: there you go.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: That's cool. Because there's somebody sitting in traffic right now going,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I've been meaning to get married. How do they find
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you there?
• 4:30

• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Very nice. Well, I will see you this evening and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: again tomorrow, and I am so excited. Jake, thank you again.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. Good talking to you, Jeff.

• 4:43
  Speaker 1: going to see tonight. Again, it's a free show every
