  Speaker 2: And I was like, you know, I'm just so.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: This has happened a couple of times, Like I'm just
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: thinking to myself, like I shouldn't react.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: We got a pod in thirty minutes, like you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I'll go and I'll go.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny is I did a podcast a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: long time ago my buddy, uh Jannis Papas who does
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: his own now, and we we started in two thousand
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and I want to say ten or something or nine,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: so this is when podcasts were kind of new. Yeah,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and like I would say, and we stopped it, but
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it's like we almost like got in on Google and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: then sold the stock before it, like you know, if
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: we would have stayed with it ten years ago.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Like Joe, Yeah, yes, doing it in is a room
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: with a webcam. Yeah, it's like that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Then you're in it when no one was, you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: not that many people were in it at a time.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: And my buddy Yannest was is I'm not saying that
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Tayo was like that, but it's like super Tayror's got
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a lot more going on than my friend Jannis had
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: at the time.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Right exactly.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But he would never he would not show up a lot.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And it was like, and I kept telling I was like, dude,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you got to do this, like I knew, either don't
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: do it or.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I do it consistently because it won't work right. It
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: throws it just throws everything off.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: It throws everything off, like you at least even if
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you're at least if you're just putting it out, but
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: it's got to stay out on a schedule or no
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: one's going to gravitate to it because you see, I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: mean so many times you get asked to do a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: podcast and it's like, you know, you're someone will be like, hey,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you do mine. You're like, you haven't done one in
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: six months, Like no, you're not even trying, right, Why
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: do I have to go do your podcast? And you're like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you know, so you got to be super consistent with it. Yeah,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you get it, dude, I had to say. He was like,

• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'll get it figured out, because he does. He's got
• 3:49

• 3:54
  Speaker 3: not going to get the three time Pro Bowl, the

  Speaker 3: eighty five million dollar man.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: He's going to get the great value ver Yeah, the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: several Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's more when we talk about
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: real things, you know.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is a helicopter probably you know, yeah knows.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: He's that they got. Yeah, he's on a whole different planet, dude.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Some of those guys who got that, who got just
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that that fuck you money.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Like they don't need it. Like when I was doing the.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Pod, I was like, I just want you to show
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: up because we're like best friends.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: That's my boy. And I was like I'll handle everything else.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I was like, if you can just show up, when
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: we do pods, Like obviously we've kind of bounced everywhere,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and sometimes we'll back log them days in a row
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, you just show up.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I'll handle the rest.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: So we kind of have like that under understanding that
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: it can get a little fickle or something can change
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: at the last minute.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: But yeah, well it's like if you as long as
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you stay consistent with it, to be like when he
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: did like eventually retires, it's like then it's like, yeah,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: then we get more you know, you can be more
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: serious or he can be more of a focus. Oh absolutely,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: But I mean yeah, but to have you know, one
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that's uh with both of you, I mean it's great,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like and it's like, you know, you deal with all
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: this stuff now then.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I know, yeah, eventually everything will calm down for us
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: and maybe who knows what this thing could be by then,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: But we have a lot of fun with it. And
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the consistency thing that you spoke on too, is like
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: we were going to do it in the summer. The
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: first summer we're going to do it. We're just going
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: to do it in the summer up until the season.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: And I was like, all right, then we're just going
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: to focus on football. And I got on a phone
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: call with Pat McAfee and he's like, you know, if
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: you're going to do a podcast, He's like, it's all
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: about consistency. He's like, it doesn't matter how many pods
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: you do and want to drop in the summertime.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Like that's cool.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: He's like, but if you say you do it once
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: a week, Like if you can take all those episodes
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and try to survive the year and drop one every week,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: if you can just do it consistently, like, consistency is
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the key. It doesn't matter if you do one episode
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: or three a week or whatever it is. He's like,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: if you're just consistent, like it's like getting the you know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: keeping the audience in tune. Like you're like, why would
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I go do a pod if you haven't done one
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: in six months?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah you would.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I mean that's you know, cause you get asked to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: do a lot and uh, which I'm sure you do too,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and you get where some of them consistently the key
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to I mean everything, like you know, I mean, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you know, playing football, doing comedy, Like, it's all consistency
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and that's what we weeds people out of anything for sure.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: More than because overall a lot of people are talented
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and uh, but consistently showing up and putting in the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: work is you're is the most important thing.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it past dividends because like you said, like everyone's
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: got the ideas. Everyone comes up with everything that's going
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: on out there. It's the ones that are one's really consistent,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: right right, right right. There's always someone else that's like
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: you out there to do it and you hear like
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: your story and you hear your Olivia story or you're
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: sitting there in your shirt list or whatever. It's like
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I'll just change the girl's name and put a different
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: dynamic environment around and I'll.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Have the same joke.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, but uh yeah, no one's really original,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: but yeah it's funny.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: It's like there's uh it is like they're original, but
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like there is you know, you're like someone will take
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: your place in a heartbeat and not bad and eye
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and no one will miss you. There's an idea with like, uh,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I always think of it like in comedy and I'm
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: sure in football this where you're you got to be
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: somewhat grateful for what you have and to put in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: put the work into it because uh, you know, it's
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: like we're not owed this, like you know we you
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: know a guy that is a construction worker like works
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: for the city, Like you feel like he's old stuff. Right,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: We're not owed any of this, right, and so you
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: have to constantly just like show up and do all
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the stuff because it can all go away.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah in the moment of the windows small yep uh
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: that yeah, that is true, because once you're done, it's like,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: you know, no one's gonna give a shit about what
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: what you did.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Like people remember.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Certain things about you, but that next guy who replaces you,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: they're gonna everybody's gonna be like, you know, they're taking
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: my place out on the field, and no one's gonna
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: remember like any plays that were made back back whenever
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I played.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But that's what y'all with football is that because you
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: have to start when do you have to start thinking
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: about that? Like, because y'all you've been thinking about what
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I'm entire mariady, Yeah, because.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You're done so young.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Like for me as a comedian, I'm forty one, so
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I am kind of hitting a decent tried right now,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: but that's not till my I turned forty. Like you're
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: always kind of going forward. But our really peak for
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: most comedians is forty to sixty is when a lot
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of guys end up a really good yeah. But for
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: football men, you're the.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Average career three three years, three and a half years.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, like my first thought when I came when
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: came in the league being undrafted is like, all right,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: if I can be on a practice squad for one
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: full year and get like one hundred thousand dollars, like
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: you know, then that's what I need, you know what
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, Like, that's what I'm going towards. Since that
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: was like my first goal. And then it was like,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: you know, you want to make the team, and then
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: you start making the team, you start playing, you realize
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you got a couple of years in the tank, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: then I probably really started thinking about it. Honestly, when
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I started doing this, putting this vision together was in
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: twenty eighteen when I played on the Titans.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I was a.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Backup special teams guy, and I was kind of thinking
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: this could be like I'm getting closer to thirty, this
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: could potentially be my last year because I'm not playing,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Like if somebody signs me the next year, I'm going
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: to be a one year minimum guy, Like I'm going
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: to kind of be the journeyman's style guy. So it's like,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: whatever I'm doing or interested in, I need to start
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: putting it on paper and then executing it, because you know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: when you're retired, when you're playing in the league.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I literally said this yesterday.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Your jokes are funnier, you're better looking, you can shake
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: more hands, you can do all of it because you
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: know you play in the NFL right now. The moment
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: you're on the other side of it and you're a
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: retired NFL player and you're trying to do something.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: This is me saying it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying this is what it is, but it
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: seems like you're reaching to do some more things out
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: of desperation, like you need to do something.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: In pivots.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: People kind of look at it differently, like, Okay, he's
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: trying to get into this now.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Because football's over. So that was my whole mindset.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: So I started thinking about it when I was probably
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: what was that twenty seven, yeah, twenty seven, and then
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I got to go to Oakland.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I played well in Oakland, I bought another year, got.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: To come here, and it's just kind of like snowballed
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit and my benefit for me. But I
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: was thinking about it at like twenty seven, like or
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: twenty eight, however, I was I was like, man, this
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: thing could be coming to an end because football, I
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: mean football, NFL not for long, yeah, I.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Mean yeah, because I mean that's the sports. When you
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: guys play sports your whole life and at such the
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: high level, is you know, it's just so young. I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: mean I always think, look at tennis, you know tennis
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: is I don't. I mean, unless you're Roger Feeder like
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: kind of these freaks, their peak is like twenty or
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: eighteen or something like that.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're not even an adult. That's so yeah.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're and you're basically done right like a
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: lot of them or eighteen nineteen they're done.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: And then that's when they play at the highest level.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's when a fizzle's out with a comedy. When
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: you say your peak is like forty to sixty, is
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: it just that much of a grind on consistency and
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: being just showing up over and over and over, just
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: jokes like riding like all of it. You're just grinding
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: to make it to basically forty.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I say that my whole I always say, you either
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: make it twenty or forty, and so no one makes
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it in the middle. Yeah, Like, so you either come
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: out of the gate and you get grabbed up quick
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and you become super famous early are you got to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: go through all the ropes until you got to do everything.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So a lot of guys you can see where if
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you had your Bill Burr, Luis k you.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Know, Chappelle blew up early.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Kevin r was probably he wasn't like super young, but
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: then you see guys come up where they they blow
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: up super quick, and it's better to like do better later.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Like if you look at Bill Burr's a good example
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: for me, just because I was in New York when
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: he was there and I got to watch him very
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: up close, and he was like a ten year comic.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Wasn't no one knew who he was, but he was.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I could see that. He's like, oh, this guy's the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: real deal. He's amazing, and so like seeing him, he
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: went through all of it, he's done, you know, he
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: there was nothing that kind of shot him.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Up where he took a big leap, right, it was all.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: He got everything when he was supposed to get those things,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: so he had to go do Letterman, he had to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: go do an half hour special on HBO, then an
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: hour special, and then now he is who he is.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And I to me think the best comics usually are
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: end up outside of Eddie Murphy, who to me, he's
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: got to be probably he's like a phenom to run
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to do the act that he did.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: He was like twenty one or something.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty crazy, Yeah, because that's like an adult act.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: That is a thirty year comedian act that he was
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: doing at twenty one, So that's pretty special. But the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: other guys, yeah, you see, and they become better comics,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I think because they just have more experiences and they
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: have to you know, you have to earn everything. You
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: have to go like be around and get everything. So
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I think you appreciate it more and you you don't
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: take any of it for granted. And then so your
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: act you just put more work into. You just have
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: more time to put into it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like it all kind of comes together too, because,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: like you're saying, like you got to go through it
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: all basically you have more of an appreciation and like
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: by the time you get there, you have so many
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: more stories from that experience to dig out compared to
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: like if you were like, you know, superstar young, like
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: you're kind of a suit. It's not like you're more
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: so just telling stories of celebrity.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: You don't even have a life. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: your life, you're you know, making all that money. I'm not.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I could see it with football.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I could see with athletes where if your guy comes
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: up first, you know he's number one pick and then
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: just off and running versus your experience, it's gonna be
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: much different and you're gonna know, you know, you're gonna
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: understand like now this is how it goes, and you
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: appreciate it more than I'm sure could be. You know
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: that just came in and was like, yeah, it was easy,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Like I didn't ever deal with any of.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: This stuff, right, Yeah, Taylor and I talk all the
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: time because you know, I was on like practice squad,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: I had to do rookie mini camp twice.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I always.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Feel like I have an appreciation just because like there's
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: there's been so many like of those little gritty stories
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: that you just don't forget about, and you see like
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: young guys going through it now and you just kind
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: of like, you know, give them a little bit of
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: advice on like, hey, here's how it can work. But yeah, bro,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: it was a it was a it was a bit
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: of a journey. I say now, I wouldn't change it
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: for the world because you got to go through it all.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: It makes it that much better of a story, that much.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: But at the time, I know, the first year when
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I was in training camp and you're the bottom of
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: the depth chart and stuff, and you're like talking to
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: your parents and stuff, and you're just like, man, I
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: don't care if I only play one year, Like this
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: is such a business. It's just kind of like it's
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: just kind of fickle like. And that's just me talking
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: like I'm not I wasn't getting the opportunities that I
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: felt like I wanted to be yet I was wanting
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: to get So it's just my bitterness kind of talking.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: But that first year, you're just.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Going through like, man, you know this this is shitty,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Like I don't care if I play anymore, blah blah blah.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: And then obviously tables turn a little bit more and
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: you start.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: You get them and you get the bitterness out of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you like everybody has it, you gotta have some.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think you have to have a little bitterness.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: So you have to go through that to realize like, well,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: this isn't I shouldn't be this is no good, like
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you know, because some people live in that bitterness and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: they can't get out of it. Oh that and it's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: over for them. I mean, I saw plenty of comics
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: that were just so bitter and they never really make
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: it passing because they get so caught up in it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: And so you're so like comparing yourself to someone else,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: so you want that's something that they have, and instead
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: of trying to go get it, and maybe you don't
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: get it on dirt timetable, you gotta get on your
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: own timetable. You basically just give up trying to get
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it right, and then you don't, and then you never
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: get it where.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: The hardest part for comedy, I think is when you're
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: not when you don't go blow up super quick, is
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: watching everybody past you, and then like every you're just
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: around everybody and they're shooting past you and they're going
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: to this crazy level, and then you kind of feel
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: like you're just slow and you're like staying there, and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: it's very hard to not just to kind of be like,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm just gonna keep doing I'm doing. I
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: think I can get to that level. It's not going
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to be at the time that I want, but I'll
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: get there eventually. Until you just kind of stay your
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: pace and just.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Write, you we get like wondering eyes because it's hard
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: to like just focus on what you're doing because everybody
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: always says a cliche, control what you can control, and yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: That is a cliche, but that's like the truth, the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: reality that you have to do.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Uh, and people can get can get hung up on
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: the business side of everything because everything in life is
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: business and people can be yeah, you know, I didn't
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: do this because the business side of it I got
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I got fucked over, I got screwed. You know, I
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: didn't get to do this or that, or I didn't
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: get my opportunity like they did. I was doing the
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: same thing this, but yeah, people get hung up on
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: and that's you know, those are the people that kind
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: of fizzle out.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you can't chase money either, Like you gotta
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the money, you can come, but you can't really chase it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Like if your whole goal is to get Is is
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: it such a direct like I want to get this money. Yeah,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Like it's not gonna be good. You gotta because you
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: won't want to. Whatever you're doing, you're not doing it
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: for the right reason you're doing it.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: You'll just be up and down riding that roller coaster.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah you're chasing.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna it's gonna come and go and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: like so you got to just sit and build like
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: a steadiness. Birds said to me a long time ago
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: that always liked the advice where he was like, your path,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you know he's talking about me. He saw me do
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: comedy when I was like, this is ten to fifteen
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: years ago, but he goes, uh, how.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Do you know forty one? Forty one? Okay?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Our ten is probably twelve years ago. Like and then
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: because I've been doing conning for eighteen years. And but
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: he's like, your path is gonna take longer, but you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: gain fame and you gain them for life. And I
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: really like that because it was like, yeah, your path
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: does take longer, but everything you get it's not like
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: you kind of you earn them like they find you.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: You know, you're not just putting Someone says last night.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I was just talking about it with Little Nas, like
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that song, you know whatever, his song is, Yeah, right,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the most famous song everybody in the world knows.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Both of us were just He's like, Little Nas that song,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: you say, probably thinking I'm gonna sound like, yeah, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: don't know it either.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: No, it's the what is it? Old Town? Okay, I'm
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: saying this, like but obviously you know the song. You've
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: heard of this? Yeah?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Uh, but like what that guy can't probably go sell
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: out arenas. He probably doesn't even have a full show
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that you could go watch. He has that song, and
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: it was a huge song. But that song is almost
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: forced onto everybody on earth. You're just going to hear
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: it because it's the hit new thing versus you got
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: someone like a Chris Stapleton.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: That's like more of like that guy is earned everything,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and people the respect for what he does is much more. It's,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: you know, because he's sat there and he's earned it,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and he's kind of come up, not that I know
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: his whole path, but right right, he kind of came
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: up to that and uh so those guys truly earned
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: their right. Darius Rucker, I mean, Dearreis Ruckger, went from
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Hohodi both as two than now he's a country sinker.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Like that guy's been through it all. He's slowly just kept.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Going yeah, yeah, no doubt.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Would you say it sounds like like you've always been
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: curious and picking mentors people you've probably seen on your levels,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: people that are farther along than you, and you've always
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: kind of picked their brain or just got advice or
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: advice is just stuck with you to where you're kind
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: of on your own journey with it, thinking like, okay,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: because you've alluded to the example of you seeing people
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: pass you by, Like what were some of those times
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: where you're sitting there and you're either feeling down about
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: your journey or some of those hard adversity moments that
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: kind of made you who you made you into what
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: you are now.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I always I do always liked I've always thought
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: like you need to have someone right above you that
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you can talk to. I always thought you needed someone
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: right above you and someone below you, like wherever you're
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: at in your career, and because the person you can't
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: when you first start, if I'm like trying to go
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: get advice from Chris Rock, like I can't I'm an
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: open micer. No one knows, you know, I've just I've
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: been in to comic for two years. Nothing he can
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: tell me I could relate to. He's too far ahead.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: So you need if your two year comic, I need
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to talk to like a three year comic and like
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: be like what are you?
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Where are you at?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Like how do I get to that? Because that's more
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: of an attainable goal. I never try to have too many,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Like the goals. I don't ever want them to be
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: like you're saying you want one hundred thousand dollars practice
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: practice squad.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Like that was your goal. You're like, that's attainable.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I can get it, and then once you get it,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: then you can go to the neck whatever the next
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: plan is. But I don't think you should put goals
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: because people can your goals could be too high that
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: they're unreachable at the time. You know, if I'm sitting here,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: five year comic going like I'm trying to sell out
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: massacuare a garden, You're like, all right, dude, like you're
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: you how long it's gonna take to get to that point?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Like and it's it would become untainable, and so then
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: there's never a win.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: You don't give yourself a win.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: At the beginning, I just wanted little like I used
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to bark, where I used to hand out flyers outside
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: comedy clubs. So you'd be in New York City and
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you'd be like, hey, we got a great comedy show,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm just trying to give all these flyers out
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: to all these people. And you get them to come
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: into the show, and it's brutal, and it's twenty degrees outside.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: No one wants these flyers. No one's excited. You're handed like,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: no one's happy about it. Any flyer you go up
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and see it, they would drop them in front of
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: your face. They would grab the flyer and then drop
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: it and look at you as the flyer hit and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: then you gotta it's just a long fall, long fall,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: and you got to pick it up, and you're like
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: all right, and I got to pick it back up
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and try to give it to someone else. It's wet
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: now because of this stuff, and you would just see that.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: But I remember just thinking, I don't want to do this.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: How do I get good enough to not have to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: stand on this corner? And it was like that was
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the first goal was just don't stand on this corner,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and then you slowly just then you then you get
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: off the corner and you don't have to stand there,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and now you're like working the door at a comedy club.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: And then you're like, well, I don't want to work
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the door. I just want to be going to be
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to do a spot. And so you just slowly have
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: these little like kind of goals. And so I would
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: always try to like talk to the person that was
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: right above me. Who could I learn from that's right
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: above me that I can try to get where they're at.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And then you slowly go up and then you pass
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: those people and then you find and there's another person
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that you're like, well, they're doing late night sets like
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: tonight show Conan. You so you're, hey, how do you
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: get like what do you got to do with the
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: process with the conan? And you don't ever ask for
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: something either, Like it's never like, hey can you get
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: me on Conan? It's how do you get on coning?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Because that's another like too many people they just I
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: would get asked all the time and they'd be like, hey,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: how do you just can you give me on Conan?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Like they you're like, what are you crazy? Yeah, yeah,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: well yeah, hey you can go in tomorrow. Yeah he's good, dude,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: yeah he said, he said cool. Yeah.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: But so it's like you just have those little goals
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: and you talk to those people and then as it
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: goes oh, you're it continues to grow and you continue
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and then you have someone below you that I feel
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: like it's good for you to give advice because then
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: you get to remind yourself as you say it that like, hey,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I need this person to be like, here's what you
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: need to do. You know, I'm still learning, but like
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: it's you just you're you're hearing it again and you're
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: helping someone that's younger than you and like, uh, and
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: so then there's a there's a good I don't know,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: there's a good group of people that are kind of
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: rooting for each other and helping each other. Yeah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I feel I feel like you kind of give yourself
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: some accountability to like when you're teaching somebody below you,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: because you're preaching something that you've learned and you're hoping
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: they put it into action. But then you're also hoping you're
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: also making yourself accountable to continue to show up to
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: prove that, Hey, this is the discipline that I'm trying
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: to teach you.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: And you don't want to see that person pass you, right,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: and so then you're trying to stay ahead of them.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: And like you know, it's I mean, because there's a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: competitiveness to it. Comedy is different than sports are pretty uh.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of politics, but
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: in general, it's a pretty cut and dry like you're
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: either fast or is this guy or not? Or you
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: can do this or that whatever it is. And comedy
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: is very you know, like I would say, like there's
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: not really a mount rushmore. I mean, there's more of
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: a mount rushmore of comedy than there ever could be
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: one great to me, right, you're.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Going to list because everybody likes different things.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Our objective, Yeah, so you have you just want to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: be you know, at the end, you would love to
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: be in the group of when people say who's the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: best comedians ever? It's like Chappelle, Rock, Eddie Murphy, Seinfeld,
• 23:25

  Speaker 1: stripes so you had to wait. If you weighed too much,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: you had to play the line. Yeah, and you'd have
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: to wear a double stripe on your helmet. So they'd
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: make them run with trash bags on them to lose
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: weight so they could be like the running back. She's

  Speaker 1: up a Tennessee vall fan or Vannerable fan and then
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: uh so I'm a diehard Vandy fan and watching games
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: there that I saw some of the most amazing stuff
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Vandy football in a bad way. We always were just
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: we I mean I was just talking about it today.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I was I showed them. Remember we were playing Georgia,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: like this is like ninety five, ninety six seven something
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: like that, and we're playing Georgia.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Georgia is like seventh of the country.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: We're winning seven to nothing in the fourth quarter, and
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: so like when we're not ranked, and I.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Thought you were gonna say the first quarter, we're winning
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: nothing the first Yeah, we're like, all right, we.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Got them, we got them on the ropes.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Uh. But I remember we ran a fake punt on
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: our own thirty yard line and we ran it, not
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to like the fullback to the punter. They gave him
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the ball and then he ran got tackled immediately, I
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: mean just and then they Georgia scored very quickly and
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: then they just won.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I've seen this also.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: We were we we played l s U one year
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: and we score with ten seconds left, seven to six.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go for two.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Whatoody wouldenhoffer was the coach, and uh, we're gonna go
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: for two. LSU's ranked, and so we're like, we're gonna
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: go for it because it doesn't matter.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: This would be big for us.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Uh, we get two delay game penalties and then have
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: to and then get the extra point blocked and we
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: lose seven to six. And I mean that's just like
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: the extra point block. Dude, we're kicking from the fifty.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I mean like I didn't even make it. It's like
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know, and we're just sitting there as a
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: fan and you're like, how do you what happened? I mean,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: you know how much time you not only the first
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: leg game is whatever, but used all of that time
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: and then it takes time for the ref to throw
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the flag call it, and then you still have another
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: what thirty seconds yeah, and you still and then at
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the next day in the paper. Uh, just back when
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you had to read the paper to see what they're
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: going to say, and they said, You're like, what were
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: they going to do? And they go, we were going
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: to run the same play, which is the worst thing
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: to hear.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like they were You're like, what we are
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: going to do?
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Like when we were about to draw something up crazy,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: They're like, nah, we're going to do the same thing.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: What were you all talking about over there?
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: You know like that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, it's uh.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: So it's been but I'm excited about Vanderbilt.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Now we have a we got a new coach, h
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Clark Lee, you know, pretty pumped about him, and uh
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: he's putting pretty interesting staff together and so hopefully and
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: it seems like Vandy is investing in their sports, which
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: is it's always.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: The biggest thing.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: It's like getting the athletic department, uh, or not the
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: athletic department, but the school to invest in like the
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: athletic department and invest in sports because like me, it's
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: so the five years I was at in Nebraska, I
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: played in Nebraska. My strength staff that was there that
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: I know very well was the strip was is a
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: strength staff at Vandy. Yeah, so the past few years
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: I trained, I trained at Vandy all the time, so
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: I was just around, you know, just the culture of
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Vanderbilt and just how different it was from being in Nebraska.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Like kids would have to like, uh, the strength coach
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: stops and shout Outdobson, he would you know. I'm like, Yo,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: why isn't that dude getting in trouble for you know,
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: not showing up on time because I'm thinking about all
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: the ship we had to do when we were late or anything.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: And he's like, Bro, you know, it's different here because
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: kids are coming from class like academics.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Here is just a whole different ballgame.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Like you know, in Nebraska, you would have, you know,
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: your advisors and counselors and stuff like that help you
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: pick your classes, Like you wouldn't have to be present
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: to pick your classes, like they would already pick them
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: for you. Like kids at Vandy would have to leave
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: in the middle of like workouts because there's a window
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: that they have to be at to get in when
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: the when the window opens to get in certain classes,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: and the athletes themselves have to be there to do that.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: He's like, and during finals weeks, like guys actually lose
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: a shit ton of weight because people are stressed and
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: they're just up all the time steting for finals. Because
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: it's such an academically successful school. Way different from Nebraska. No,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: I'm not knocking Nebraska, but it's just everywhere. Yeah, it's
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: different than everywhere. Yeah, everywhere. Bro. He's like, you know,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: the criteria to get in, like trying to get walk
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: ons in and just recruiting, Like it's just a different
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: ball game. Did you grow up a Nebraska fan? No,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: I was more of like a Notre Dame fan. I
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: went to Nebraska because of a Bo Polini and the
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: staff that he had in Nebraska. Tom Olsmore had came
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: to the school. Everyone was going crazy about tom Osware.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: I didn't necessarily know exactly who he was because I
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: was younger, but I'm having like all my old teachers,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: they're like running down the hall to try to get
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: a picture with him. But he visited and then like
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: I visited the staff and stuff and absolutely loved the
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: facilities at Nebraska, and that's why I ended up going
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: to Nebraska. But that was a strength staff I had,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: and it was it's just a way different world.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Than like a world at Vanderbilt football.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I remember Nebraska was always uh it was crazy because
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I mean uh, I mean when they were they were
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: so good then. I mean it was and I really
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: they were. That's the kind of my first awareness nineties
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: would have been, like you kind of start paying attention
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: to sports more and kind of remember stuff more. And
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: so I mean my first been to Nebraska. To me,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Nebraska is always look at them as the most dominant
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: team in the country, like yeah, because they were there
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: back then. And it is crazy to see kids because
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: you know, you look at Vanderbilt, there's kids that so
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt when Franklin was there, we had we won nine
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: games and we went to Bowls every year right right
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the baseball team started getting good and Tennessee was the
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: volunteers were down. So there's a lot of kids, like
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: my friends' kids that grew up kind of thinking Vanderbilt
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: was the better school versus when I grew up, it
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: was like we were get crushed, Like Tennessee would beat
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: us sixty years.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Manning Batman, I mean them in the nineties were just
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: always there with Nebraska in Miami.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, Ohio State's always been there, but yeah,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the Nebraska like Miami, Yeah, exactly, and so it's just
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: a different It's interesting to see the perspectives that people
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: go through with, you know, volunteers who not a I'm
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: not a fan of, but they they were, I mean
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: they were so dominant.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Dude.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's in there being in the SEC too. Like
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: we we haven't got anybody on here yet that is
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: admitted to it. But you know, them Southern, them good ones.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: They're they're paying kids. You know what I'm saying that
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: there ain't no funes coming out of paying anybody. Yeah,
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: there nouns coming out of vain.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: I wish they would. Yeah, that'd be a huge help.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: We had Derek on yes, and I was trying to
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: get them like we need some sanctions again Alabama right now,
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Like you know, how much would they pay you coming
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: out of high school?
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Because anytime you see an Alabama player we were talking
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: in our locker rooms and stuff, and anywhere you go
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: and there's an Alabama player, the question of them is
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: usually like how many natty?
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: How many Natties did you win when you were at Bama?
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: And some guys will be at two and be like, oh,
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: you're a part of the trash Alabama, like the other
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Alabama guys who won like four Yeah, and you're just
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: kind of sitting there like, you know, we went to
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: the Big ten Championship in a Big twelve championship.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: You know you'd be lost both.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we got the Motor City Bowl. That's what
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Van D's just like if we almost won the MotorCity Bowl.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: We had.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Uh. The first ball game I went to was at
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: h Vandy. We played Boston College and the Music City Bowl.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: And I've told a joke about that because I got
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I went or had tickets for Vandy and I went
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: in and she ripped my tickets and I had to
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: go in the game. I mean a full two to
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: three hours before the game starts, because like if you
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: once they rip your ticket, you have to go in.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: And I was just trying to grab my ticket. Then
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go Telgate, and uh, I.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Had to go in. Dude, no one was even the player.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: We're still in jeans, like they were not even you
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: weren't even getting ready.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: For the game. Like that's how early it was.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: And I remember the clock was at ninety minutes and
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: it didn't even it wasn't even started yet.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Oh you're just looking at that.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm I was the only one in
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: the stadium. I just walked around the stadium. It's ain't open,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: and I just my friends are like out tailgating, like
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: where are you at. I'm like, I'm already in here,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: like out here it was great in here, dude, I
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: just walked in. The concession stands are not open. I mean,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: it was brutal, but we had we've Vandy won that.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: But our punter was MVP. First two Bowl games we
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: had in twenty years, our punter was the MVP of
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: both those.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Guys, how's the punter of the MVP?
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Just because as we do, man, as we bring to
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: the table, you know, like you don't understand we need
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: a good punter and it matters. It's like Brett Kerns,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Like Bret the punter really helps out a lot.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Dude.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: He's a stud man. Yeah, Brett is a stud punter. Yeah,
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, punters definitely help out. I'm just thinking like
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: if they if they couldn't score, like, what, how's the
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: punter of the MVP? They just dropping him inside the.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I've liked that just just yeah, keep it on, back,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: keep it on.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no one else really brought enough to the table.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: I guess, punter, did you you? You never answered, But
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: how did you end up getting in New York?
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Oh? So I moved to Chicago first. So I was.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I was just doing whatever job. I read water meters
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: in Mount Juliet here like.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: I was, really I was. I just worked what you know,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Go to college. Uh, So I just was doing whatever job.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: I had a friend, uh, my buddy Michael, and he
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: wanted to move.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: He wanted to go to Second City in Chicago.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: So moved to Chicago first, and then I did some
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Second City, which is the improv and that's where like
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Chris Farley and all them came out of.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I just did a little bit of that, nothing at all,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: And I didn't really like improv. I wanted to do
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: stand up, so I started doing stand up there and
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: then I.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Moved to New York after like two years.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Uh. There's a great uh documentary Seinfeld called Comedian I
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: believe it's on Netflix, and it's him built his new act.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: This was right after his show ended and he taped
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: his special and he was talking about starting over and
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: he had to build a new hour and he went
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: around and uh, two different comedy clubs in New York.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: And so that came out when I was in Chicago
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: and then so after that I knew. I was like,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: you got to go to New York. New York is
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: like the place to be.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Now at the time, are you working on your own
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: like comedy stuff, like on the side of while you're working.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Now, you're just doing I mean, you're doing open mics.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: So I mean I'll go to a bar like anybody
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: could go and sign up and you go up on
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: stage and so you're just you're there with you know,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: when you first start, you're you're there with guys that
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: are really trying to.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Be a comedian. You're there with like just a mom
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: that wants to do it. People that lost bet.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: There's a big thing now people that lose fantasy drafts
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: will go to open mics. So like their their punishment
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: will be if you come in last place, you got
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: to do stand up.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: So I mean like it's you have a mix of
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: just like it's just a joke to one person and
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: another kid is like this is his dream, and so
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: they're all going up on the same stage. But so
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: you just start out doing that. So you go you're
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: just doing you need to get up, You're trying to go.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Up every day.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: And then when I moved to New York is what
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: I went to. There was a club in New York
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: called Boston Comedy Club, and I started there and that's
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: where I was handing out those flyers and uh, you
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: would go on stage. I mean I went on stage
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: every day for I mean eight years. Like you just
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: go up every day and you go on for at
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: the beginning, it's five minutes and then eventually it gets
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: to fifteen until you start headlining and traveling on the
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: road and you start doing an hour. But at the
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: beginning of that, Chappelle would come in all the time.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: This is when Chappelle's show was on, right before right
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: when you quit, you know, right before that, he would
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: come down. I would see him every I mean he
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: come down every night, like ivery taped, you know, and
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: we'd have we'd have eight people in the show. Like
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: That's the thing that makes you good in New York
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: is you know, if you go to Zany's here in
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Nashville or any club using this, there's there's forty people
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: there at the minimum, you know, usually even one hundred,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: two hundred, three hundred if it's sold out.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: So the shows are very good.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: It's people that are not as good can do good
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: just because people are happy to be in the room
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, this guy's up there telling jokes
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: and it's a fun situation. But in New York you
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: would go up and you'd have people in the shows
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: that you would have to talk into coming and you'd
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: be free, so you'd like, just come check this show out.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: And then they're like all right, and they come in
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: there and you're in front of people that don't speak English.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Sometimes. I mean I've went on stage one night and most.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Of the crowd doesn't speak English and they want to
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: go to the show just because they wanted New York
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: comedy experience, right, But you're like, don't come dude, Like
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: they don't.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: You go up, you start telling your jokes and you're
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: like what is wrong with this? You get no laughs
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: and you're just like does he might speak English?
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: And I mean nobody they're like no, Like nobody even
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: understands that.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Have you asked that on the mic?
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's yeah, you're like, who doesn't really speak English,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: and like everybody just the whole room collapse, or you're
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: like you're like, ah, boy, this is gonna be brutal.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then and you got to do fifteen minutes.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: So but being in those situations are what helps you
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: because you know how to you know, you know how
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: to talk where it's I mean it's uncomfortable.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Like I'm sitting here like yo that I can't imagine
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: every day, say you string on a few bad days
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: or a few days where you're just not that people
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: are laughing, like they're laughing at the other people, and
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: you just got to continue to Oh, I mean in.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: The room we were I remember being on stage because
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: like you would just be at a bar. So there's
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of times some would be comedy clubs, so
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: people actually know what they're doing. Sometimes at a bar,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: you would go into the bar and like downstairs, like
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: we got a comedy show down there in the bar,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: and you're like, oh okay, and then people just kind
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: of they were like going to the bar and now
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: they're sitting in a comedy show. And I performed for
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: one guy once, just him. He didn't leave, and I
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: asked him to ask him to leave in the microphone.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I go, you should just we shouldn't do this, and
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: he was like it's fine. I was like, it's not,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: it's not fine. And then you gotta stay up here
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: if it's fine. Two people, four people, I mean four people,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: a lot, a lot, four people in a room. And
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: that was like, you would do it to keep the
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: show going because people are outside, other comics are outside
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: trying to get more people in, so you're trying to
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: be like trying to get more people in. So you're like,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: someone's got to go up so we don't lose these
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: four people. Because once these four people, if they start
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: looking around realizing you know this, these comics are probably
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: stink dude, Like, if no one's here, this show can't
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: be good. Yeah, So you're trying to get on. You're
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: trying to keep to trap them basically in the room
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: before they figure out that, yeah, they shouldn't be there.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: This is not a good situation. And so you would
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: go up and you're talking for the four people and
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: then and then two more people come in and six people,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: eight people, I mean, you've got it for eight people.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: You were like, You're like, I made it like eight people.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: It was like unbelievable. You've been a comedy in the know.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: You're like, You're like, it's someone filmed this. I need
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: to get this is huge, dude. And but being in
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: those situations where that's why I think the best comics
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: come out of New York. The ones that learn how
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: to be a comic in New York are the best
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: by far to me, because they're just in. It's just
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: it's much more of a grind. It's way more competitive.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Everybody's competing for all the spots. Not everybody can get
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: on stage, and you just have to be better than
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of people, and you have to keep performing
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of bad situations. I mean I remember one.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: This one place is called Village Lantern in the village
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: in New York.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: And so I'm on.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Stage and there's just a two couples that are together,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: So two guys, two girls, and they're sitting in the front,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: no one else in the room, and I'm on stage
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: and I'm kind of I gotta keep talking to keep
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: them there until we can get some more people in.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: So it feels like a show. Yeah, And then the girl,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: the girl just gets up. The two girls get up
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: and just stand next to me and they just take
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: a picture like I'm on stage. The I mean, the
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: you're on stage performing, you know, if you're doing your thing,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: and they just got up as if I was just
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: a sign like and took it.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: It's the least respect.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I've ever been shown in my life to go just
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: in the middle of a joke. They just stand there
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: like that's how they go, well, this guy's not this
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: is not a real thing. And they just took a
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: picture and then I think went to the bathroom.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: And then left.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: That was it, Like they just it didn't and it
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: didn't even face it like.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: You just imagine nowadays too, like somebody just takes a
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: selfie and you're just kind.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Of yeah yeah.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: On stage, yeah, I mean because there's and there's no bouncers,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: no one's stopping any of this stuff. I mean, you
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: get fights breakout like there's you know, I had a
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: fight breakout when I was in Tampa once in the
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: back all I see, because this was when I was
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: at a point where it was right before my Tennessee
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Kids special came out, so I was having.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: People show up for me.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: I would have I would say it'd be seventy five
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: percent of the crowd is there because they know who
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I am, but twenty five percent is there just because
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: they got free tickets to a comedy club. Yeah, so
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: those those don't really mix good together because these other
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: people are excited to see you and they want to
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: watch the show, and the other people could care less
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to a bar. Oh, there's a guy on
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: stage whatever, And so they would get in a fight.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I remember I was on stage and all I see
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: in the back, I just see a hand, just go
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: like that, and then just a brawl breaks out in
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: the very back of the room. How'd you handle it?
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: And I was in the middle of it, dude. I
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: was like, you say, you have to do an hour.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like thirty minutes in, you know, if it's if
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: I'm at forty forty five even you're like, all right,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: good night, Like that's' I gotta keep going. Yeah, And
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: so I and not everybody could see what's going on,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: so I just kind of, you know, describe what was happening.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: I was like, that guy hit that guy, and.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Then you just you just talk about it's one of
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: those you're just in this situation. There's no really preparation
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: for it. You just the preparation is all the years
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: of doing bad shows that you just know that you
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: can handle it. And I told every other crowd that week,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, if you just don't fight, you will
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: be better than the Thursday night crowd. If that's all
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: you could do a lot, you could yell out, you
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: can actually throw some to that mean, if you don't
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: fight each other, you're gonna be better than that Thursday
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: night craw each other. What was what was your first
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: time on stage? Like it was that I did this comedy,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: this classical comedy college. I have it on VHS. My
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: first time I had a chin beard. That was when
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: chin beards were a lot cooler than they are now.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know you had to get made fun
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: of if someone saw, but now it would be you know,
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: it was like it was like pretty like whoa, yeah,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: it's new money over here. So that's that's where I
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: will like white trash like Nashville Wildlife come out where
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: you live Antioch. So there I went on stage and
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: usually your first times are actually okay because you get
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: friends go.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: So like if you went and go, did did stand
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: up right? Now?
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: You would have friends come, they're gonna be rooting for you.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: They want you to do good, so they're gonna laugh
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: at your jokes more they know you.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: So usually your first time is.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Kind of okay, and then you're like, all right, this
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: is the man, I'm not bad at this. But it's
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: when you go up with no one there, no one
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: supporting you, that's the real. That's the real, Like were
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: you Actually, you're probably more numberus for that than you
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: were when you were gonna be in front of your friends.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: The first time.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: I used to always look down, so I had a
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: big problem with that. I would never really look up
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: at the crowd. And I still don't like looking at
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: the audience in the eyes. Yeah, I kind of. I
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: just look like right above their head. It makes it
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: it's uncomfortable, like when you when you lock eyes with
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: someone on stage. Dude, it's like you just feel like,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: do they know I'm looking at it? You know, and
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: you're just like and I because I remember comics used
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: to always come off stage and be like, dude, you
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: see that chick in the front row shoes unbelievable. And
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: I would be like, I didn't see anybody like because
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: I was looking I never understood like all these comics
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: that was like, you see, dude, these two on the
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: two on the right, the hottest chick service in my life.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I didn't even.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Know where were these people at, Like I didn't look
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: at nobody. Uh, but so you would when you first go.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: I would always look down a lot, never really look up.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: And then so you have to then like kind of
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: teach yourself to like, I gotta look up. I gotta
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: be looking at people and uh, you know, because that
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: really matters. And uh so you slowly just build up.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: But you know the first time, it's I mean, it's tough, man.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: I mean that's the first I remember I would want
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: because I knew. I was like, well, I gotta go.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go to do this show because
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I was so scared to go talk in front of
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: everybody and they uh. And I remember thinking I was like, God,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: if just the building would burn down, you know, because
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: then I feel like they I would be like I
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: tried to go, but.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: The building was on fun helmet. Yeah, yeah, I don't
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: want to get in there. I trust me, dude. I
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: want you. You guys look like you having so many fun.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: But Uh, god's got a bad helmet. My parents bought
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: me a helmet with the worst because my parents had
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: no money, and so I got like the one bar
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: down and one bar across helmet. Oh that doesn't help either,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: when you just look like a loser.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: You just got like a.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Old fullback helmet weigh eighty four pounds. The helmet's half.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: All I wanted was like that one. I still look
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: at that helmet, uh and just think that's such. That's
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: all I wanted. That's I would have probably stayed in football.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: You probably would have gotten buled the ring if you
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: would had. If I would just give me a good
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: that one was too expensive, so they bought me the
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: worst one. So yeah, I don't remember what we're talking about,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: but I think it was, Uh you're talking about your
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: first time, like how nervous you were and you would
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: hope the building was burnt down. Yeah that is you
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: know you ever think about that like I was, if
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: you were tired driving to work. A guy used to
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: have to go work when I worked regular jobs at
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: like seven am, And I'm like, if I could just
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: get in just a little wreck, like not much of
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: a wreck, just enough that I can sleep in just
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: a fender bender that I can sleep in the car
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: and I could be like I got an wreck this morning, dude,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Like it's just so I could have a good excuse.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: You just want something to happen. And that's I remember
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: that a lot, like just being like I don't want

• 56:47
  Speaker 1: all his employees, uh do they don't speak English? And
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: he never gave told me that until afterwards. And I mean,

  Speaker 1: with that entire hour, you're just like, dude, it's maybe I'm.
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: Past my prime. Oh about probab it's not forty. Maybe
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: I'm just going down. Yeah, it's like my peak. My
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: my peak was the day before and I'm already down.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh it was. It was.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I mean for one hour of just you know, you're
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: thinking about a lot up there, you know, and you're yeah, uh,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: your material, you get through your material a lot quicker.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: But one of the first bombings that I remember filling, Uh,
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: I bombed at that Boston comedy club.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: Everybody was doing good one night. Everybody was like going
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: on stage, and.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: I remember this one comic went up and I didn't
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: think they were that good, and they did good, and
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I was like, dude, I'm going to murder when I
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: go on.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I went up and bombed so hard,
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: and uh, I remember I changed my shirt.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: I never wore that shirt again because I blame I thought, well,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: that shirt had something to do. Yeah, I had a
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: button down and I think I tucked it in. I
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: like tucking my shirt in. I'm a big fan. I
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: wish you would come back and be more popular than
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: it is. But I remember I had this green button
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: down shirt and I got rid of it and I
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm never wearing that again. Bet that had
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: that had to do something. I didn't blame me. I
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: blamed just the outfit.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: Well, it goes through your mind, like when you bomb
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: something like that, like.
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Sleepover, you're just kind of like fuck.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, you don't do it as much as
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: everybody says says you do. There there are people that
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: do bomb that much. Uh, but I think those people
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: don't ever there. They never do good, so they don't
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: know what good sounds like because I've seen people bomb
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: where when they got off stage, I went to go talk,
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I was like, you know, hey man, this
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: crowd kind of stinks like sometimes it's the crowd, Like
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: the crowd stinks like it's rowdy or they're not they're talking,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: So that one you don't really care about because you're like, this.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Is not my fault.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: But when they I've seen people come off and like
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: before I could, I'll be about to say to him, Yo,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: don't worry, but this crowd stinks. And I remember this
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: kid he goes, uh, he goes, that's a pretty good set.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: And I was like, you, that was the worst set.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: And there's just no awareness.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: I realized at that moment, Oh, he doesn't know what
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: it sounds like to do good, like up there. You
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: it's different when you really murder on stage. It's unbelievable, man,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's people are losing their mind. You
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: can hear people catching their breath. It's it's the most
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: amazing sound ever. And if you but if you don't
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: ever hear that, then you don't know. Like to him,
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: that sounded great what he just got from them, it
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: was like a good set. And that was a learning
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: moment that I remember, Oh, you need to learn what
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: it sounds like to be good, so you're self aware
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: enough to then know when it's not going good.
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: Have you ever had the correct a comic like was
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: that somebody you? What did you think? And you're like, yeah,
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: you're a straight man.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Uh no, I know you lie to them all.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, dude, that was great, Like I thought
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: it was great, and they're like, no, I've had a
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: couple where I've seen, uh, this one club in Edmonton, Canada,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: and they this guy, I think he does it on purpose,
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: but he would put a new comic up in uh.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: He put a new comic on stage each in front
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: of a like a pat crowd on a weekend. And
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: this girl went up and she bombed so hard, I
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: mean nothing, zero laughs. So it's someone talking to a
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: microphone for five minutes and there's no reaction, but there's
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: pauses for reactions. So she like finished a joke like
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: I went on the bus and then all right, and
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: then you know, it's just that dude for five minutes.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: It's unreal.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: And she gets off and when she gets off, he
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: plays another one. Bites the Dust is the song he plays,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: and I mean, I'm like this poor girl and she
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: and they stay, they have to kind of stay for
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: the show, so they just go sit and then she
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: set at the table and cried, and I went and
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: talked to her, and you just kind of I just
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: made fun of the situation to try to lighten the
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: mood and just be like it's you know, it doesn't matter.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: You're gonna go up so many more times that you
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: won't ever forget it, But that one was Some of
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: those are tough to see. I had another girl that
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: once did it set in Philadelphia, very nice girl.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: And it was my fault. It sold out room Saturday night.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: The two comics on my host in the middle act,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: they both murder, and this girl just did a guest set,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: so she's gonna do like five minutes. Yeah, and she
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: goes up in same thing, dude, completely silent and the
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: whole time, and then the guy goes on after and
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: just murders. So you can't even be like, well, of
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: this crowd's tough. You're like, this crowd is amazing. And
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: then I remember she came back and she felt pretty
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: bad and then she but she actually had to go
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: sit She had a ticket to the show and then
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: had to go sit out in the crowd, and I
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: was like, you wanted to be like just go home,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: you know, like don't And can you imagine just having
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: to walk back into that crowd and been like, excuse me,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: my seats over here and everybody's like, oh, that's up,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: all right?
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah?
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: How was how would you say the Nashville scene is
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: different than all the other comedy scenes you mentioned quite
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: a bit.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Nashville's Nashville scene is much better than it was
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: when I first saw it. There's actually some really really
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: good comics here and some young comics that are very
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: funny and to me show that they want to do it.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: They seem obsessed with it and they want to go
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: up as much as they can. And there's a lot
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: of really really good comics and uh some female comics
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: like you know, good diverse comics. Uh and so it's
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: the national scene is great right now and uh so
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: it's exciting to see that. And then New York scene
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: is i mean still the New York seas I still
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: think that's the best scene in the country. And that's
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: you know, there's gonna be guys that you see in
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: New York that are better than most famous comics, you know,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: because they're going up every night. They're doing it. It's
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: like dog years in New York. I mean, I went
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: up every night. If you live in Nashville, like you
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: could go up. I mean, you can go up more
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: now than you used to. But I mean, let's say
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: you're going up three times a week. Why I would
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: go up ten times a week and I did that
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: for eight years, nine years. Like I'm gonna be a
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: I got way more stage time, way more than anywhere
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: in the country. So that's why those comics are gonna
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: be the best comics. They've gone up triple what you've
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: gone up.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: Man, That grind is interesting, dude, Like, I mean all
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: those years just going up ten times a week, working
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: on sets, like having to surpass, hanging out or like
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: going on different Yeah, you're thinking about the grind like
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: you're saying about how can I get more in?
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I mean you just want where you're addicted to.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: You have to be obsessed with it. That's what you
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: can't do it if you're not. You know, I remember
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: people would have night jobs. They have jobs that you know,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: They're like, I got to work at night, and I'm like,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: what do you do?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: You can't work at night.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: That's when you got to go up and try to
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: even if you're not getting up, you got to go
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: hang out at the comedy club and be around. And
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: you need to see all these comics. You need to
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: see people get good. You need to see you know.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I was with A Z's and Sorry and Amy Schumer
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: and like, so I saw we were all open micros
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: and I saw them rise to the how big they are.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: You need to be able to see that stuff.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: You got to see people get to the top and
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: that so you can at least see that there's a path,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: because otherwise it feels impossible. You know, it feels like, well,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: you know who am I am just a kid from Nashville, right,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: why would I get to do this?
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: You feel like it's beneficial that guys like Theovonne and
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Josh Wolfe have moved to Nashville, Like is that going
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: to change a change the scene a little bit?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Because I guess where I'm coming from.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: You see, like the comedy Store, Like I follow those
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: guys like Joe Rogan and all that, that circle of
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: comedians where they're always doing sets of the Comedy Store.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: It seems like all those dudes go to the comedy Store.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: You feel like that kind of creates a culture for
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: Nashville to where maybe you guys are going to zanies
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: or how does that work in the comedy I mean,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: definitely it's been a huge help now the THEO and
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: him are here because I've been back here like six
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: years Steve Burne another comic.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: So a lot of real headliners.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it helps the scene because then
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: the younger comics actually get to see like real headlining
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: comics every week and guys that are very good, guys
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: that are going to go up and they're not really
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: gonna bomb, They're just not like they've been doing comedy
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: too long. And so it helps the scene. The new
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: comics see that, and it makes people want to come out.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: We do shows that Zane where they do a new
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: material night on Mondays and sometimes they do these all
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: star shows and they're not announced with the lineup, but
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: if we are in town, I went, uh Monday, I
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: went last night where it was whatever night, Monday night. Uh,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: I went Monday night. Uh, you go work out to
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: work out on my cause I gotta build a new
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: material with a special coming out and trying to build
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: this new hour.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: And so I've been there a lot.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Deo's there a lot, like you know, sometimes there sometimes
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: we're not, but them going that it gets then those
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: younger companies are getting in front of a packed crime.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's that's a huge thing
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: to get real stage time. Is what you're searching for.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: What helps build a scene. You got to get in
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: front of a real audience because otherwise you're performing for
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: other comics at open mics.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: Is there a couple like up and comers that you
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: think will be on the scene one day?
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: That? I mean, So, I have a podcast called Nate
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: Land and that's with my Brian Bates and Aaron Weber
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: and there Brian Bates has kind of been in New
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: York for a little while now, I mean in Nashville.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: He's been doing it for like twelve years or something. Uh,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: and then Aaron would be a newer one. He's like,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: he's on Aaron Weber, he's been four year comic. I
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: think he is, Uh, Dusty Slay he's been doing it
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit longer, probably ten years, but his name's
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: out starting to get around a little bit more. And uh,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: he's done some late night shows and stuff like that,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: and he's very funny and he's probably the the top
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: comic of the guys that are He's he's kind of
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: really starting to headline and yeah, people are coming to
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: see him.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: And then you got I mean, then the guys are
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: some younger guys that are even year or two year
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: comics that are you see it zis that are very
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: very good and and you can go see them. You
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: know that that Monday night, that New Material night is
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: a night where you can see all those or any.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: That'd be cool. We should go to one of those.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all should come to one. Uh, they're very other.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: When I'm at one, I'll let you know and then
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: I'll come out there.

• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: That'd be awesome. Yeah, it's a good It's it's good
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: to see him. And I think people are moving here
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: to start comedy. That's a good sign nationals. I mean,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: it's one of the cities I like growing faster than
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: I think be a Chicago here. Like, I mean, I'm
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: very biased to Nashville, obviously, but I don't think anything
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: is better than Nashville right now.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's the best city in the lountry.

• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: know you gotta do these forever really get good.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so it's it's we started it just because
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: it was like, you know, it wasn't I've been off
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: the road for a year now, right with all those Yeah,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: so I kind of wanted to keep stay being funny.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it's kind of a muscle. You
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: gotta be funny. You need to actively try to be
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: making jokes. And another reason why I think New York
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: is so good to you're around comics so much that
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: you're just so much like just breaking each other's balls
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah, and so I wanted to kind of
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: keep that going. And so then we started this podcast
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: and it's been fun. It's you know, it's a good
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: thing to keep your brain like just making jokes do
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: that's just making jokes is so important and so just
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: constantly kind of coming up with stuff and keeping your
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: brain fresh, and it helps you with coming up with
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: your new act.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I've enjoyed it.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: I do it in my house, so it's like, you know,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: I maybe it about as easy as possible.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: It's not on like all the podcast platforms YouTube on YouTube, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: all that stuff.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: So that stuff's interesting. And you said you did it.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: You did a podcast a long time ago, but that stopped. Yeah,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: that went nowhere.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: Dude, Uh, it could be better, as we called it,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: because we always thought it could have been better, like
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, we called it when we thought everybody
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: would tell us in the comments that way, they couldn't
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: criticize us because if they were like your podcast thinks
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: You're like, well, it's named it could be better. We
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: are agreeing that it's not good and it yeah, yeah,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: just go ahead, get it.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: Right in front of it. Yeah.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: Uh so yeah, that one was a long time ago.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: Uh but it was you know, it was fun to do.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, and we wish we would have stayed
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: with it at the time, but you know, it all
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: out in the end.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: I mean it will probably grow and be awesome one day. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: you know it's awesome now. I mean, all of ours
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: are awesome now.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: But you know what I'm saying, yeah, yeah, no, you
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: gotta keep there's more work into the whole video side
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: saying here with that, I mean, because you would like
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: dude scenario.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you're in this bus. This is you know,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: it looks like that. It's what you see a busting
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: with the boy. We're in a shed, Yeah, just a
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: random shed. We run off a generator in a hot
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: spot that the bill has not been paid so it
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: does not work.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, stuff to work on. Yeah, where we
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: started off, we were this bus was in a parking lot.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: Because it doesn't move, you can't get it fixed. Calls
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: you know, way too more. We might as well just
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: buy an actual, like big awesome bus. But it started
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: off in a parking lot. Taylor and I were going
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: back and forth on, you know, how to go about
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: the podcast. It was something I wanted to do for
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: a long time. And Uh, a buddy of ours at
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: the time who was producing it. He was like, would
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: you think you'd be interested in this bus that's out back?
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: I was like a bus.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: I was like, honestly, no, but I bet when Taylor
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: walks in here he sees it, he's gonna want the bus. Yeah,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: he comes in, he shows him and tells it. Oh yeah,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: we gotta go see that. And we go out there
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: and you know, it's obviously has a look like this.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: It's all the seats and stuff moved around like it
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: you had to take.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: It to a priest and get an exercise, you know
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: what I mean.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: And h Taylor's like, listen, I'll put ten grand into
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: it and clear it all up and make it look presentable.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: If it doesn't work, then I'll just sit it in
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: my backyard. Like I think this is awesome. And I
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: was like, all right, let's try it. And we were
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: just sitting out We got it, We got it to work,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: managed to put all this stuff in there, and we're
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: just sitting on the heat Blossoms with us back then,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: and uh do we'd be out in July when McAfee
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: was like, consistency is the key. We were in July
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: at the time. We had a few weeks until training camp.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: We're like, oh, we got a backlog a lot of
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: episodes and we're gonna survive through the season. There was
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: one week we did twelve episodes in one week, and
