  It's like a yellowish. In Georgia, it
• 1:19
  was so hot. You would take the lid or
• 1:20
  maybe just because it was so chemically,
• 1:22
  but you would take the lid off. I
• 1:23
  remember you would see those like waggy
• 1:26
  lines coming out of it and I just

• 2:23
  crazy research on you.
• 2:29
  Joe, I was talking to your middle school

  your faces podcasting, they're going to
• 3:31
  be expecting some sort of like Mr. Bit.

  Yeah. Earnestly doing arts and
• 3:36
  craft pops up.
• 3:40
  Hi. Are you gonna try and make him
• 3:44

• 3:50
  conscious felting. I have no idea what

  That'll work. That's a cool corpse to
• 4:18
  me. Yeah. Perfect Friday night piece of
• 4:22
  piece of paper and it's going to be
• 4:24
  folded a few times uh enough for like uh
• 4:27
  so there's five sections. I'll draw
• 4:29
  something with the lines a little bit
• 4:31
  going to the next section. Then you
• 4:32
  finish the up to the top. Totally. Love
• 4:35
  it. Yeah. You have to fold it. I have to
• 4:37
  fold it so that it has five bends. Yeah.
• 4:40
  Okay. A little bit of a math. And then
• 4:42
  what? Well, we'll we'll Okay, we'll do
• 4:44
  it the Okay, I'm going to guess it a
• 4:47
  little bit.
• 4:50
  Oh my god. And then it'll create a
• 4:51
  picture. I don't know what it is. I'm so
• 4:55
  scared.
• 4:56
  I'm scared. The colors can only think
• 4:58
  instructions. Like a cover of like a 60s
• 5:00
  book about like children's learning
• 5:02
  development. Yeah. It's like textbook
• 5:05
  art. That's an example of a maladaptive
• 5:07
  learner.
• 5:09
  This is a pervert.
• 5:18
  Okay, I'm going to get this started and
• 5:20
  then when I pass it to you, Carly, you
• 5:22
  don't look at my drawing, but you just
• 5:24
  look at the like where it comes up in
• 5:27
  yours and you draw up to the next up to
• 5:29
  the next fold. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
• 5:31
  And then you pass it to Joe with it
• 5:33
  folded up. And then when we go through
• 5:34
  all, we'll have created collectively
• 5:37
  some sort of [ __ ] Something
• 5:38
  terrible. Yeah. And then we'll cut it
• 5:40
  out and we'll kiss it. All right. Sounds
• 5:42
  good.
• 5:43
  I like that part.
• 5:45
  Just burps in my mouth. I hope it
• 5:47
  doesn't come up on the
• 5:50
  It comes up like
• 5:52
  way backwards like always. Is it corpse?
• 6:01
  We do it. Do it. Okay. It was good that
• 6:05
  you were immediately honest. I had to
• 6:07
  be. I didn't want to get caught. Guys, I
• 6:10
  burped.
• 6:11
  I'm sorry.
• 6:16
  The only podcast that's mostly silence.
• 6:20
  Folding.
• 6:22
  Everyone's definitely like deeply I'm so
• 6:24
  focused focused on their crafting
• 6:27
  something.
• 6:28
  Do you have any people that are come on
• 6:30
  that are like craft resistant? Uh the
• 6:33
  crafts are uh new so I have I have not
• 6:36
  yet hit that type of person
• 6:39
  but they would I would convert them.
• 6:42
  Have you met anybody like that? I'm
• 6:44
  usually kind of like that. I'm pretty
• 6:46
  craft resistant. Really? Oh, so the
• 6:48
  answer is yes. Like can we just like
• 6:49
  chill? This is nice. But I'm the same
• 6:52
  way about like board games and like
• 6:53
  party games. I'm like come on. Can we
• 6:55
  just hang out? Damn. Talk to each other.
• 6:57
  Sorry. I'll always do a party game. I'll
• 7:01
  try, but okay. Well, a party game to me
• 7:04
  is different than a board game. I think
• 7:05
  if it doesn't if it only involves like
• 7:07
  pencils and papers and stuff, that's
• 7:09
  fine. But if there's like if there's any
• 7:11
  reading of the rules. Yeah.
• 7:15
  It's like do this on your own time.
• 7:18
  I want to do this.
• 7:21
  Clock out of our
• 7:23
  friendship. See you.
• 7:28
  Trying to make it so Carly doesn't see
• 7:29
  what I'm doing. I'm not even I'm so
• 7:32
  You're so You're so absorbed. I'm into
• 7:33
  this. Sort of like an illustrative
• 7:35
  telephone. Exactly. Yes. I don't know
• 7:38
  why it's called exquisite corpse. This
• 7:39
  kind of [ __ ] the hell. Isn't it like
• 7:42
  something the surrealist? That's [ __ ]
• 7:44
  up. The surrealists were I like the idea
• 7:47
  that like the dot eyes were just coming
• 7:49
  up with like stupid party games like
• 7:51
  like telephone was like a really Yeah.
• 8:01
  Okay. So then Okay. So I'm passing it
• 8:04
  off to you,
• 8:07
  Carly.
• 8:09
  Uh but Okay. So you want to you want
• 8:13
  your lines to go slightly above the
• 8:14
  fold. Okay. At the top so the next
• 8:16
  person can see where to start. Gotcha.
• 8:19
  Well, this [ __ ] sneezing on the
• 8:21
  pie. Have some respect. kept it off my
• 8:24
  bless you. Bless you.
• 8:27
  Bless you. Like that you're you're kind
• 8:29
  of like making stained glass windows in
• 8:32
  a way. In a way, I'm not.
• 8:37
  But that is a nice way of putting it.
• 8:39
  Thank you. Whoa. That's cool. It's like
• 8:42
  the gim. Oh my god. Wait, why is No,
• 8:46

• 8:48
  Candell's Candell is down here. It's not

  a competition.
• 8:53
  It's not. Crafts are not competitive.
• 8:57
  That's right.
• 8:59
  Except when they are. Oh, yeah. We're
• 9:00
  finding out why Michael doesn't like
• 9:02
  craft.
• 9:03
  Sucks. Sorry.
• 9:06
  No, it's not a competition. 60s films.
• 9:07
  We're like, "Oh, the kids are expressing
• 9:09
  aggression through their activity."
• 9:12
  [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]
• 9:17
  This is uh it will the crafts will get
• 9:19
  progressively. It looks like hot ones.
• 9:21
  It will get progressively harder. I'm
• 9:23
  going to I'm going to bust out origami
• 9:25
  uh frog. I'm chugging milk and making my
• 9:29
  crafts. You know those you know those
• 9:30
  like Lego Eiffel Towers? That's up next.
• 9:33
  That's the top. But you have to come up
• 9:35
  with your own uh building an IKEA
• 9:37
  furniture
• 9:43
  joinery.
• 9:46
  Right. So, you're gonna draw on this
• 9:49
  space now. Okay, cool. Yep. Have fun.
• 9:53
  [Laughter]
• 9:55
  Have fun. Trying to These are only the I
• 9:59
  So, I just have to connect these lines.
• 10:01
  You can. Yeah. Uh, yeah. You Yeah, you
• 10:03
  start Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. You
• 10:05
  start with the the Yeah, you start with
• 10:06
  the lines that they that they drew and
• 10:07
  then you got to I did it right.
• 10:10
  Oops. Oh, god. Oh, god.
• 10:14
  Damn. Making a damn sweater. Whoa. I'm
• 10:18
  making a damn sweater. You think you
• 10:19
  could do that? Like a pipe cleaner? That
• 10:21
  would stab yourself a million times.
• 10:25
  One could for sure. One could. Should
• 10:29
  one could
• 10:30
  should one could one could one. I think
• 10:34
  pipe cleaners are probably like of of
• 10:37
  people's favorite crafts. I think that
• 10:39
  they're number one just because they're
• 10:40
  so It feels really good. I wish like
• 10:41
  Yeah. Joann's Fabric should release like
• 10:43
  a Spotify rap type thing of It's like
• 10:46
  number one with a bullet. It's [ __ ]
• 10:48
  pipe cleaners.
• 10:50
  You guessed it. They not like us.
• 10:57
  Live, laugh, love sign. Yeah. Oh my god,
• 11:01
  it's huge. I'm I'm also not good at
• 11:03
  crafts, by the way, and it's something
• 11:04
  I'm That's been part of the fun here is
• 11:07
  uh it's all it's all about uh learning
• 11:10
  it. I don't know. Rediscovering craft.
• 11:12
  Yes. Because most people stop crafting
• 11:15
  when you're a child and you either start
• 11:17
  doing art or you stop altogether. Yeah.
• 11:19
  Basically kindergarten is kind of the
• 11:21
  dividing line on pipe cleaner. That's
• 11:23
  the craft zone for sure. Well, it's
• 11:26
  interesting. Crafts used to be like so
• 11:28
  important and you know. Oh, wait. That
• 11:31
  microphone is fully facing the other
• 11:32
  way. Sorry. Sorry. That's all good.
• 11:35
  Crafts used to be so useful and
• 11:37
  necessary to life. Mhm. No. Say what you
• 11:40
  really said. Yeah, you didn't say that.
• 11:43
  Come on. Joe is crying in the bathroom.
• 11:50
  It's like Picasso said, the trick is to
• 11:53
  remain arts and crafts good at macaroni
• 11:55
  art until you're older.
• 11:58
  Is that what he said? He's got some
• 11:59
  famous quote about uh everybody's a
• 12:02
  child artist. Like kids are great
• 12:05
  artists and then the trick to man is a
• 12:06
  kid as you get older, right? Right.
• 12:08
  That's why he dated a 17-year-old, I
• 12:10
  think. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. To stay
• 12:12
  close to the artistic spirit. Right. I
• 12:15
  love your macaroni art. Wa. You're so
• 12:18
  connected to like God. You're just like
• 12:21
  closer to him.
• 12:24
  Oh. Oh, yeah. That's awesome. I love the
• 12:27
  colors. Thank you. I'm going to put my
• 12:29
  keys on it. That's what's up. Thank you.
• 12:35
  There's something about like the rapid
• 12:37
  like
• 12:38
  uh repetition of some sort of craft
• 12:40
  thing makes
• 12:41
  it like I don't know creates a thing
• 12:44
  larger than the piece itself. Like I'm
• 12:46
  looking at that and that you know what I
• 12:47
  mean? And then that we got tessellation.
• 12:50
  That's scary. That's like something you
• 12:52
  find in the woods.
• 12:54
  Flare witch project. It's like day 30 of
• 12:56
  schizophrenia. Totally. You're making a
• 12:59
  flag for your new nation. Gave you all
• 13:01
  the clues, Mr. Policeman.
• 13:05
  You could have saved her.
• 13:08
  This is what I'll use to taunt the
• 13:09
  police later.
• 13:12
  Where the first victim worked. We gave a
• 13:15
  spider acid and a bachelor's of arts.
• 13:20
  He needed the degree.
• 13:23
  Did you guys anybody go to art school?
• 13:25
  Uh I did film school. Art school. You
• 13:28
  went to film school? I went to a I went
• 13:30
  to a film program within a larger
• 13:33
  college but for film. You went to art
• 13:36
  school? Yeah. What art school? Uh just
• 13:39
  uh at the University of Georgia. So not
• 13:41
  like a specific art school. That was
• 13:43
  kind of what I did at Boston University.
• 13:45
  Yeah. Um yeah, it was chill. That's
• 13:50
  cool. Economics is kind of an art.
• 13:55
  How's that going right now? Oh, it's
• 13:57
  going good.
• 13:59
  All I have to do is connect these
• 14:02
  lines. you. Yeah, you have to use those
• 14:04
  lines. It's all about the money with
• 14:06
  you.
• 14:08
  And then and then up to the without
• 14:10
  looking at the previous thing, take
• 14:12
  those lines and draw whatever you want
• 14:14
  in that space. And then whatever lines
• 14:15
  that you have at the top, make sure that
• 14:17
  they go over to the next section a
• 14:18
  little bit. Does that make sense? Yes.
• 14:19
  Over to Okay. Yeah. So then Whitley will
• 14:22
  finish it off. I'm scared. When you
• 14:24
  study economics,
• 14:26
  like what is that like? Are you just
• 14:28
  doing tests? Are you writing papers? Are
• 14:31
  you you're doing you're taking exams.
• 14:32
  You're like I don't know. You're mostly
• 14:35
  not going to class
• 14:38
  and you're showing up the day of the
• 14:39
  exam being like I think I I think I got
• 14:41
  it. It's it's whatever class you take is
• 14:45
  just something you already did in a math
• 14:48
  class before. So it can't be that way.
• 14:51
  Okay.
• 14:53
  I had to take one math class uh for my
• 14:57
  film degree and it was this one math
• 14:59
  class that all of the like art kids took
• 15:02
  called quantitative reasoning because
• 15:04
  there were no numbers whatsoever. It was
• 15:06
  just little like logic sentences. Wow.
• 15:08
  That you had to finish. Oh yeah. It was
• 15:10
  amazing. Do you have Do you have an
• 15:12
  example? Uh I couldn't remember one now,
• 15:14
  but it was a lot of like therefore like
• 15:17
  if this whatever. It's like if John has
• 15:19
  three apples, he has more apples. Three.
• 15:21
  I heard a three is not allowed. John has
• 15:24
  multiple apples.
• 15:26
  Right. Some don't worry about it. A
• 15:29
  train is leaving Chicago. Yes. Is that
• 15:31
  good? Sure. If you want to if you want
• 15:35
  to get out of
• 15:36
  Chicago society, anybody bringing in the
• 15:38
  number is like, get out of here.
• 15:41
  Get out. Dead poet Society slaps. But I
• 15:44
  I love that. I love that Dead Poet
• 15:46
  Society. A math class is so funny. Get
• 15:48
  you out of geometry. A triangle is all
• 15:51
  about feeling it. It's all about the
• 15:54
  Yeah. reading the Pythagorean theorem on
• 15:56
  their desks. Yeah.
• 16:00
  A squ. They stand up on their desks and
• 16:03
  all their like calculators fall.
• 16:07
  I had this English teacher in high
• 16:08
  school who like on the first day of
• 16:11
  class like really pulled some uh dead
• 16:14
  poet Society [ __ ] Like we were all
• 16:16
  sitting in our desks waiting and this is
• 16:18
  a little bit of a brag story. I'm sorry.
• 16:21
  He killed
• 16:22
  himself
• 16:23
  immediately. And we're like all sitting
• 16:25
  waiting for him to come into class. And
• 16:27
  he comes in through the back of the
• 16:28

  Um, I did cross country was like cross
• 18:28
  country and track were like my favorite

  like I met good friends and that and it
• 18:33
  was just like fun to shoot [ __ ] in the
• 18:35
  woods and like just run long distances
• 18:38
  and and make jokes and and that stuff.
• 18:42
  Um, what else? I also did quiz bowl but

• 19:50
  be like, "I didn't do that." And then
• 19:52
  I'd be like, "Well, [ __ ] I don't know.

• 23:31
  more cooler ones. Capitalism funny to
• 23:34

  I was getting there, but I kind of gave
• 27:41
  up on it. And it's hard to practice the
• 27:43
  trumpet. It's so loud. Yeah. Yeah. I

• 28:19
  the most part as long as you were
• 28:20
  playing music. I don't know like
• 28:21
  compared to any other class. I was like,
• 28:23
  "Yeah, I'll do a lot more music." It was
• 28:25
  less structured. I don't want to be in
• 28:26
  home room. Home room. Gh. Horrific. Home

  our class president would do the
• 28:48
  announcements. Was was that a cool kid
• 28:52
  or not really? It's like a generally
• 28:54
  well-liked kid, but not really cool. We
• 28:58
  had a joke of the day and I auditioned

  Oh, dog barking. Oh [ __ ] Where did my
• 31:35
  little guy go? You're [ __ ] You're
• 31:37
  [ __ ] Can we curse? Nope. No. Oh no.
• 31:42
  We got to start over. I will go through
• 31:43
  and bleep out every curse.
• 31:46
  Boring. I did that recently. I uh tried
• 31:50
  to put out a bunch of dirty jokes and so
• 31:52
  I like just went through and went like
• 31:54
  just beep on every single time I said
• 31:56
  like come and [ __ ] and stuff. You know
• 31:57
  what I mean? Mhm. Like beeps make things
• 32:00
  funnier sometime. It's true. A hearty
• 32:01
  beep is really funny. And it could be
• 32:03
  anything which makes it even funnier.
• 32:07
  Do you you notice a lot of people when
• 32:09
  they're like captioning comedy on
• 32:10
  Instagram will like spell bad words like
• 32:13
  weirdly so it won't get detected. I
• 32:16
  think that's weird. I mean I get why
• 32:18
  people have to do it. It's like does it
• 32:20
  even work? I mean I feel like most of
• 32:21
  those softwares probably still recognize
• 32:23
  like maybe I guess if you're doing like
• 32:25
  a really weird interpretation. I've
• 32:26
  tried to do like a different thing where
• 32:28
  you just like substitute the word for a
• 32:30
  different word a different word that's
• 32:31
  like not vulgar. Yeah. And then it like
• 32:34
  so if you're reading it, it kind of just
• 32:36
  seems seamlessly that. And if you're
• 32:39
  listening, you don't care. I guess like
• 32:43
  penis.
• 32:45
  Yeah. Another word. Yeah. Yeah. Like a
• 32:47
  real word. I'm talking about my pleis.
• 32:55
  I'm trying to do it more vulgar. I'm
• 32:57
  trying to be more vulgar. Yeah. Like if
• 32:59
  I say if I say like [ __ ] or something,
• 33:01
  I'll I'm going to start making it say
• 33:03
  like dookie.
• 33:06
  I don't know. That's probably not moral.
• 33:08
  I think that's allowed. Piss. Piss.
• 33:14
  Look at all these. Is that becoming a
• 33:16
  person there, Kendall? Is that Hey, you
• 33:18
  know, no one knows what is going on.
• 33:21
  Whoa. It's becoming 3D.
• 33:24
  Way. as a kind of Ninja Turtle vibe on
• 33:28
  the top. He needs He's kind of got a
• 33:30
  baby head where his neck can't really
• 33:32
  support.
• 33:34
  That's tough.
• 33:36
  What is this going to be, Whitley? Is
• 33:38
  this like a collar or
• 33:40
  something cool? That's really something.
• 33:44
  Or a bracelet. Yes. Could be a guy. Oh
• 33:48
  my god. There you go. Could be a
• 33:50
  headband. Yeah, Benny, you can you can
• 33:51
  keep mine.
• 33:55
  Oh, crowd. Do you do you sew or knit or
• 33:59
  Um, not really. I mean, I I've done like
• 34:01
  embroidery and I do basic sewing. This
• 34:04
  seems like a summer camp skill. Like a
• 34:07
  leftover summer camp. I was just weaving
• 34:09
  it. Nice. It's just weaving it. I don't
• 34:12
  know how to weave. Yeah, I wouldn't be
• 34:13
  able to pull that off. Yeah. Yeah. Did
• 34:15
  you guys go to summer camp? Speaking of
• 34:17
  which, like once or twice randomly. I've
• 34:19
  really hated it. Yeah, same. That's
• 34:22
  good. I'm glad. I hated it. I wrote a
• 34:24
  letter home to my parents and they kept
• 34:26
  it and sometimes my mom reads it. No. I
• 34:30
  thought you were going to say that the I
• 34:31
  thought you meant that the camp kept it
• 34:33
  and no letting you communicate. I was
• 34:37
  like mommy didn't write back yet. She's
• 34:40
  busy.
• 34:42
  I think she loves you
• 34:44
  probably throwing it out. Do you recall
• 34:46
  what it said then? No. It was like I
• 34:48
  want to go home and then they're like
• 34:50
  no. They wrote a letter back. No. I was
• 34:52
  like, I you got to let me This is a one
• 34:54
  word letter. No,
• 34:58
  I went to a karate camp. Oh, yeah. That
• 35:02
  sounds I want to go to karate camp. Uh,
• 35:04
  it was miserable.
• 35:06
  No. Well, only because it was like I was
• 35:09
  there. I I think it was fun if you went
• 35:10
  there as a kid. I went there as like a
• 35:11
  teenager and the karate dojo I went to
• 35:14
  was like super or like wanted to be
• 35:17
  super intense. Um, so they made like
• 35:20
  beating us kind of I mean the I was the
• 35:24
  black belt test was like essentially you
• 35:26
  were just pledging at the You just had
• 35:28
  to fight four guys. You had to you had
• 35:30
  to do anything the current black belts
• 35:33
  asked and then what Yeah. You had to run
• 35:36
  everywhere. You couldn't walk. No. And
• 35:38
  then the last day all the black belt
• 35:41
  testers are like or like the people who
• 35:43
  are testing are like covered in dirt.
• 35:45
  They're like had to wear their geese the
• 35:46
  entire time. And then they're exhausted.
• 35:49
  They haven't been sleeping. And the last
• 35:51
  test is they go up and down the line of
• 35:53
  like the 30ome black belts that are
• 35:55
  currently black belts. And they have to
• 35:56
  fight them one by one. And then all
• 35:59
  these older black belts are like fully
• 36:01
  fully fine. They have like a super easy
• 36:04
  30 people. Yeah. And do like a minute
• 36:06
  each. That's crazy. Really bad. Yeah. It
• 36:09
  was a bizarre bizarre thing. That's
• 36:11
  worse than frat. They don't make you
• 36:12
  fight everybody in the fr. Yeah. You can
• 36:14
  fight every dude in the fr. That's much
• 36:16
  worse. Wow. Oh my god.
• 36:19
  So, I didn't get my black belt. Well,
• 36:22
  yeah. But you like went you got like 25
• 36:25
  guys in and just got Yeah. How many guys
• 36:28
  did you fight? I I I didn't go the year
• 36:30
  I was supposed to test for my black.
• 36:31
  That was sort of like the I was like,
• 36:32
  I'm going to focus on my studies. That's
• 36:35
  probably for the best. I like the idea
• 36:36
  that it's like a normal summer camp.
• 36:39
  Also, Kendall, it looks like you you're
• 36:41
  making somebody who's stuck in like a
• 36:42
  Mr. beast
• 36:43
  game in some sort of horrible obstacle
• 36:46
  position or something. They're on a
• 36:48
  leash. You You got somebody on a saw
• 36:50
  trap right now. It's true. Kind of like
• 36:54
  that's their head is connected to their
• 36:55
  butthole.
• 36:57
  Yeah. Shield portrait sculpture
• 37:03
  and karate karate summer camp. summer
• 37:05
  camp, but it's uh karate and they're
• 37:08
  doing still like canoeing and uh
• 37:10
  pranking the other cabins and stuff, but
• 37:11
  it's all karate like like like waking up
• 37:14
  in the middle of the night, you're
• 37:16
  chopping, you know, Lindsay Love, you
• 37:18
  know, the parent trap where they fill
• 37:19
  that one cabin all with the honey and
• 37:21
  stuff. It's that but it's just you wake
• 37:23
  up and people they wake up and kick ass.
• 37:26
  That seems like the ultimate movie.
• 37:28
  Karate Summer. Yes. Yeah. Sneaking into
• 37:31
  girls bunks and like doing katas. Yeah.
• 37:37
  is the most. Uh, yes. Yes. What was the
• 37:41
  thing where you had to hold your pee?
• 37:43
  That was one time when I was like I was
• 37:45
  trying to impress somebody. So, I drank
• 37:48
  a ton of water at karate camp. But then
• 37:52
  we had to go to a tournament where all
• 37:54
  the black balls were getting beat up and
• 37:56
  you weren't allowed. There was a big
• 37:57
  thing. It's like you weren't allowed to
• 37:58
  go to the like it was all about like
• 38:00
  decorum and like like manners.
• 38:03
  and not like with the one of the rules
• 38:06
  of the dojo is like if you had to vomit
• 38:08
  which apparently happened a lot you were
• 38:09
  supposed to open up your ghee and vomit.
• 38:11
  still having like a lawsuit. Yeah. What
• 38:15
  the hell? You're saying, "Wait, sorry.
• 38:17
  The rule is you have to vomit on
• 38:18
  yourself. Your own
• 38:20
  mouth website. It's like Abu
• 38:24
  Gra to puke on yourself." That was what
• 38:27
  we were told in my like mommy. But I was
• 38:30
  like, again, I was like 14. I was and I
• 38:32
  was in the teen and adults class cuz I
• 38:33
  was I was a big 14year-old. Um you you
• 38:37
  best be puking on yourself.
• 38:40
  Um, but anyway, so I really had to pee
• 38:42
  because of all this chugging that I did
• 38:44
  to impress all the kids in my cabin. And
• 38:47
  then but I didn't want to that you
• 38:49
  weren't we weren't allowed to go to the
• 38:50
  bathroom unless it was like an
• 38:52
  emergency. So I had to like claim that I
• 38:54
  was like about to vomit. Piss. Yeah. And
• 38:58
  they let me leave. Um, but it was just
• 39:01
  piss.
• 39:02
  Just piss.
• 39:05
  They're going to say like you peed in
• 39:06
  the middle of the fight. I was I was
• 39:08
  sent my kid to a space where they can
• 39:10
  feel pressure to not use their bodily
• 39:13
  function. Yeah. Really messed them up
• 39:15
  about that. Put them in a
• 39:19
  shame. Like nobody went to an overnight
• 39:21
  summer camp at all. Did you guys go? I
• 39:23
  did. You did? Oh [ __ ] Okay. When I
• 39:25
  wrote the letters home. Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 39:26
  Yeah. Yeah. Like get me out of here. I I
• 39:29
  wish I went to Longest one I went to was
• 39:31
  like a three-day Jewish one one time,
• 39:33
  but for the most part I went to like
• 39:35
  eight weeks.
• 39:37
  I think six or eight weeks. Yeah. And I
• 39:39
  remember like my parents being like this
• 39:41
  is a one time thing. It was really
• 39:42
  expensive. I think it was like fancy. I
• 39:45
  went for I think maybe two weeks or a
• 39:48
  week at a like three different times and
• 39:50
  I hated it every time. It was intense.
• 39:53
  Mine was like at a college. It was at a
• 39:55
  Welssley College in Massachusetts and it
• 39:58
  was like beautiful and it was a bunch of
• 39:59
  like international kids. There were a
• 40:02
  ton of like day trips and stuff. Sports.
• 40:06
  It was cool. I like it. Hot glue gun
• 40:08
  real quick. By the way, maybe we should
• 40:09
  unplug it. Hot glue gun. Yeah. Do we You
• 40:12
  want to use it? Okay. Just want to make
• 40:14
  sure because Yeah.
• 40:16
  Sorry. Sorry to interrupt. Going to need
• 40:18
  that. No, I actually forgot. Okay. I
• 40:21
  blocked out this memory. Uh I went to a
• 40:24
  like two week um video game development
• 40:29
  uh camp when I was like 16. Where was
• 40:31
  it? Um, some sort of uh tech college
• 40:35
  maybe in like Maryland or Delaware or
• 40:37
  something. I don't remember the exact uh
• 40:39
  place, but I just remember that like uh
• 40:42
  it was so clicky in this insane way that
• 40:45
  I didn't like you would have thought it
• 40:46
  would have been all like kind of like
• 40:48
  nerds or something. Totally. And that
• 40:50
  was like a significant fraction of it.
• 40:52
  So then the only people that like were
• 40:54
  women or the not nerd guys immediately
• 40:58
  sort of formed this insane hierarchy and
• 41:01
  just like ost and like I didn't like
• 41:03
  that. So then they like ostracized me
• 41:05
  and all the other nerds to like this
• 41:06
  like peasant class and it was like a
• 41:09
  horrible time. Like hey you're still a
• 41:11
  video game development. Yeah. I was It
• 41:14
  was crazy. Yeah. Wow. Lord of the Flies.
• 41:18
  It was weird. Yeah. Did you learn how to
• 41:20
  develop a video game at all? Honestly,
• 41:22
  they honestly No, it was um like it
• 41:25
  wasn't even that. It was like within
• 41:27
  this game called Neverwinter Nights.
• 41:29
  They had like this system for building a
• 41:31
  level within that game platform. So, we
• 41:34
  just built a video game level. It's
• 41:36
  like, you know, you ever play Halo
• 41:37
  Forge? You ever like make a Halo like
• 41:40
  put where decide where the guns go and
• 41:41
  stuff? It's like we did that for two
• 41:43
  weeks. Awesome. It was It was cool.
• 41:46
  tortured by you. Hegemonic. Yeah. Oh,
• 41:50
  you know, okay. We had Okay. We had an
• 41:53
  uprising. So, we we would play video
• 41:55
  games.
• 41:59
  Rushing back. We uh we would play like
• 42:02
  video games collectively. Uh like we do
• 42:04
  like land parties. We play like COD and
• 42:06
  stuff, right? And so by the end, me and
• 42:09
  like the the horde of nerds uh me and
• 42:11
  the other nerds, I was also a nerd at
• 42:13
  this time. Um, it still ends. Yeah.
• 42:16
  Yeah. Uh, we kind of like just started
• 42:19
  just attacking them all the time in the
• 42:21
  game and like So, it was a virtual
• 42:23
  rebellion. It's a virtual rebellion. In
• 42:25
  real life, we were like, "Hello,
• 42:28
  hi."
• 42:30
  They had us play like sports and [ __ ]
• 42:32
  We like playing kickball. It's like,
• 42:34
  "No, we're here to video game camp."
• 42:37
  Yeah. Some of my high school friends
• 42:39
  were counselors at like a very similar
• 42:41
  camp when we were in high school for
• 42:42
  like younger kids. They're like, "Yeah,
• 42:45
  like the kids really hate outdoor
• 42:47
  time." Like, but we like have to give
• 42:50
  them like an hour of outdoor time. They
• 42:53
  get really mad during
• 42:55
  it. And they were like, "Yeah, like the
• 42:57
  girls feel really alienated and Oh,
• 43:01
  yeah. No, that makes sense. Yeah. I
• 43:03
  don't Yeah, I couldn't tell you. I don't
• 43:06
  know. I couldn't tell you who those
• 43:07
  girls were as people, but I remember
• 43:09
  that they were gods in that vicinity.
• 43:12
  It's cool if you can embrace that and
• 43:14
  not just be um you know, and there was
• 43:17
  an uprising.
• 43:19
  There was an uprising. Yeah, that is a
• 43:21
  bit of a I just remember that being a
• 43:23
  not not the best couple weeks. Mhm. But
• 43:26
  I went to I went to a camp I liked a
• 43:27
  lot. I went to um this old uh like
• 43:30
  nature day camp. That was a lot of fun.
• 43:32
  Nice. That sounds good. Did you guys go
• 43:34
  you guys go to any that you liked?
• 43:37
  No. I was never going to like camp as a
• 43:40
  kid. I just hated like having to be
• 43:42
  somewhere every day during the summer
• 43:46
  and having to like do stuff. Just wanted
• 43:49
  to be at home. Yeah. I mean, I like band
• 43:52
  camp. Wow. That for a week. That was
• 43:56
  usually fun. I would love to go to band
• 43:58
  camp. What's that? You didn't do band
• 44:00
  camp? No, we didn't do band camp.
• 44:02
  Really? We did a week every before the
• 44:04
  school year where we would go and learn
• 44:06
  our routine and hang out and it was
• 44:10
  generally like pretty exciting. It's
• 44:12
  like you're all socially getting
• 44:14
  together before school starts and people
• 44:16
  are doing homework and it's famously
• 44:20
  horny.
• 44:21
  [Music]
• 44:22
  I think that well camp camp in general
• 44:24
  is famously horny the way I do it. Yeah.
• 44:28
  No, sir. [ __ ] you in my
• 44:35
  I I enjoyed running camp. I did a
• 44:36
  running camp. Whoa. That was at the same
• 44:39
  camp as my karate camp, but I did it as
• 44:41
  I was old when I was older. And I
• 44:43
  actually did enjoy it, but it was
• 44:44
  exhausting. Running camp? What do you
• 44:46
  mean it was the same camp as the karate
• 44:48
  camp? It was like the same uh it was in
• 44:50
  the Poconos. It was at the same
• 44:51
  location. Oh, sure. Campadensus.
• 44:54
  Wait, are you from the Philly area, too?
• 44:56
  No, Jersey. Oh, gotcha. Okay. Yeah.
• 44:58
  Yeah. Yeah. Wait, can it Yeah. Can Can't
• 45:00
  Canad I straight up think I might have
• 45:03
  gone there for like 3 days for like the
• 45:05
  Hebrew for the Jewish thing. I straight
• 45:07
  up think I've been there. Yeah. Yeah.

• 45:18
  Yeah. Okay. Uh I met that fish. That's
• 45:20
  crazy.
• 45:21
  He gave me very wise advice.
• 45:24
  Fish.
• 45:25
  It was uh our like sixth grade. We had a
• 45:28
  we had like a school camping trip. Oh,
• 45:32
  and oh, there was a dance at the end of
• 45:34
  it and that ended early and everybody
• 45:35
  was crying cuz uh there was a rebellion.
• 45:38
  It was like a
• 45:40
  cuz that was kind of the emo area and
• 45:41
  and I remember uh kids were self harming
• 45:45
  at the camp. Yeah. And I don't remember
• 45:48
  the exact details of that but that was a
• 45:51
  big deal. They like they we're all like
• 45:53
  dancing and stuff. They turn the lights
• 45:55
  on and they like make us all sit down
• 45:56
  and we have an assembly. Stop self
• 45:58
  harming. Yeah, they were like, "Knock it
• 46:00
  off.
• 46:02
  Knock it off. [ __ ] it off." I was a camp
• 46:05
  counselor. Oh, yeah. Grinding. Grinding.
• 46:08
  Grind. And we had
• 46:11
  a our prom my senior year. They did at
• 46:15
  the Georgia Aquarium. Uh, but the only
• 46:18
  thing is like you can't play the music
• 46:19
  too loud cuz it startles the fish.
• 46:22
  There's just a bunch of kids grinding to
• 46:24
  like extremely slow
• 46:28
  music with a whale going by.
• 46:32
  Wow. Startles the fish.
• 46:36
  Don't tap on the glass and they're like
• 46:38
  up against it
• 46:39
  like a whale like against the glass.
• 46:44
  Do you guys ever do a grind chain?
• 46:47

  Yes. While he's building his thing, does
• 46:58
  this seem like someone who's been in the
• 47:00
  drawing machine?
• 47:02
  He's making one. You're making one right
• 47:04
  now. Yeah, this is It's true. It looks
• 47:06
  like people playing Twister. Actually
• 47:08
  feels like you're going to cure
• 47:10
  something. Are those Is that somebody
• 47:12
  holding on to that? Is that cerebral
• 47:14
  connection? That's true. This is the
• 47:15
  brutalist. I'm just trying to create
• 47:17
  something being on top of this thing.
• 47:20
  It's Awesome.
• 47:23
  You did it.
• 47:26
  It's like this thing is like writing
• 47:28
  this bug like thing.
• 47:30
  Yeah. No one really knows what it's
• 47:32
  about.
• 47:34
  That does. Earlier you said it was like
• 47:36
  something and I liked that it was it
• 47:37
  resembles anything at all.
• 47:40
  Like that's what it shall be.
• 47:45
  Beast games. By the way, the uh the best
• 47:48
  arts and crafts tonight will get $1
• 47:50
  million. Oh, I I gave up after my
• 47:53
  keychain. It's gonna be Whitley. That's
• 47:55
  looking good. Yeah, that's awesome. Wow.
• 47:57
  I don't know. What to do next? You can
• 48:00
  make it a full spear. I know. That's
• 48:01
  what I was thinking. A a hat crown. A
• 48:04
  bag. Oh, a bag. An EKG. An EKG. An EKG.
• 48:10
  Good. Um, how's the tensile strength of
• 48:13
  that? How's it the Yes, it's actually
• 48:15
  really good. Whoa. Whoa. What does it
• 48:18
  look like on your head?
• 48:20
  Wow. Midsummer.
• 48:24
  Pretty good. It's pretty good. Um I have
• 48:28
  not seen Midsummer, but that does seem
• 48:30
  like that if the blood was tissue paper.
• 48:34
  Yeah. I would be so much more useful in
• 48:37
  another society. You think so? Yeah. and
• 48:41
  like like a like a dystopia kind of
• 48:43
  thing or like I could make a basket. I
• 48:46
  could make some I could make all kinds
• 48:48
  of stuff. It sounds like camp to me.
• 48:51
  Yeah. Well, no. I went to a like a YMCA
• 48:56
  Christian camp. Okay. And I distinctly
• 48:58
  remember like part of what I hated about
• 49:01
  it was I felt like I was doing a lot of
• 49:04
  work and not getting any recognition and
• 49:06
  the kids that were more charming were
• 49:09
  getting a lot of recognition and it
• 49:11
  wasn't it wasn't a
• 49:12
  meritocracy. Yes, totally. And also they
• 49:15
  made us like go around the room and talk
• 49:16
  about if we had a bowel movement and I
• 49:19
  thought that was really
• 49:20
  invasive their business. Why did they do
• 49:24
  that? I guess to make sure we were
• 49:25
  healthy. I think that's B. Yeah, but
• 49:28
  they are the wasted they that's how they
• 49:30
  were that's the system that the whatever
• 49:33
  17-year-old girl who was in charge of us
• 49:35
  developed where we all just go around.
• 49:37
  Yeah. And then there was one girl who's
• 49:39
  super popular and was always [ __ ]
• 49:41
  perfectly and you know live up to that
• 49:45
  just just pumping them out. Yeah.

  that policy was just cuz someone [ __ ]
• 50:04
  themselves really bad. Yeah. Or like
• 50:06
  didn't [ __ ] so long they died. A
• 50:08
  17-year-old triaging like, "All right, I
• 50:10
  got to start asking them all if they've
• 50:12
  shhat recently." Yeah. That's really all
• 50:14
  I can do.
• 50:16
  Mike, that looks like the thing is he's
• 50:18
  sorry got cancelled for

  A bad date, right? Is that illegal now?
• 50:38
  Oh my gosh. If If this is wrong,
• 50:48
  I feel like a saw trap of sorts. Oh,
• 50:51
  what? A saw trap of sorts. Yeah, that's
• 50:53
  what it looks like. Well, it's, you
• 50:55
  know, it's like a there's someone up
• 50:57
  here, there's someone down there. Yeah.
• 50:59
  Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of being ridden.
• 51:02
  Yeah, that's kind of what I'm reading
• 51:03
  it. Kind of like uh violent and
• 51:07
  sexual like the mic specialty. We get
• 51:10
  the uh Can we unplug this guy now? Yes.
• 51:12
  Oh, yeah. Yeah. Let's get that guy
• 51:14

• 51:18
  permanent position.

  Pretty secure. I was really You get You

• 51:25
  wait. Wear it. Wear it. Can you I have
• 51:26
  to carry this on the street and scare
• 51:28
  everyone. I'm just going to wear it as
• 51:30
  like a little
• 51:32
  terrifying. Michael, not Slytherin.
• 51:38
  She put me in that face. Michael's
• 51:39
  wearing athletic shorts and cowboy boots
• 51:42
  and this also. I live outside with a
• 51:44
  grid.

  Oh boy. This will be good on the next
• 52:03
  podcast episode you do. You can explain
• 52:05
  to people. It's like you can even do
• 52:06
  this. It's really like it can even be
• 52:09
  this.
• 52:10
  Yours is looking like something. It's
• 52:12
  something. A He's got a little Nintendo.
• 52:17
  It's like a baby toy. Yeah, I really
• 52:19
  think of it as an a lot like a baby toy.
• 52:22
  Yeah.
• 52:25
  If that was hard plastic, babies would
• 52:27
  go apehit for that. Oh my god. I like
• 52:30
  the little felt ringy thingy. This this
• 52:33
  stuff. Yeah. I was I was sort of I sort
• 52:35
  of reg I wanted to make it like a
• 52:36
  sandwich, but I didn't have the colors
• 52:37
  for a sandwich. Oh, so I made it uh more
• 52:42
  just blue. Just blue. Just blue. That
• 52:44
  looks like a Ring doorbell for one of
• 52:45
  those like toy homes. Oh yeah.
• 52:49
  It's like a kids. You're from Fisher. Uh
• 52:51
  Fisher Price. Yeah, it's a Fisher Price
• 52:53
  Ring doorbell.
• 52:57
  Not kids doorbell. Yeah. Oh, wow. That
• 52:59
  would be crazy. Like kids toys, you
• 53:02
  know, like a mini kitchen or mini cars
• 53:04
  like the mini rings or whatever watch to
• 53:07
  see.
• 53:11
  Whitley, you better pull that off
• 53:12
  because those are currently ruining it.
• 53:15
  Stop ruining it. No, no, no, no, no. I'm
• 53:19
  sure it'll I'm sure it'll work out. But
• 53:20
  I'm But you don't think you don't like
• 53:21
  what's happening? The in between stage
• 53:24
  now.
• 53:25
  I think I think I think I trust it. I
• 53:27
  fully I fully trust it.
• 53:30
  Wow. Oh my gosh. This is like more
• 53:33
  stressful knowing that everyone like
• 53:35
  you're at a crossroads right now and
• 53:37
  you're just like stop now. Stop now.
• 53:38
  Yeah. Perfect. No. Don't get the gray
• 53:40
  paint. Don't get the gray paint. Black
• 53:43
  epoxy. You know, it's a dark black
• 53:44
  table. Yeah, that's Yeah.
• 53:47
  Do we have any uh
• 53:50
  Is it just looking at her? I'm going to
• 53:53
  make this I'm going to make this into a
• 53:55
  lily pad. This is the new plan.
• 54:01
  This part's This part's the easy part.
• 54:03
  Oh, yeah. No problem. Think about gluing
• 54:06
  ours together.
• 54:08
  Oh, and then you take it. I'll try to
• 54:10
  get Can we team up? There's an
• 54:13
  acquisition somewhere. Someone's got to
• 54:14
  go home with this bad boy. Double the
• 54:16
  value.
• 54:18
  It's titled occupied.
• 54:22
  Don't knock.
• 54:25
  Yeah. When this when this thing's a
• 54:26
  rocking. Yeah.
• 54:31
  Carly, what did you make? I made my
• 54:32
  keychain. Where? I It's on the table.
• 54:37
  Um, pink and green. Make a a a vamp
• 54:40
  cover.
• 54:43
  All right, restart the clock.
• 54:50
  What do you guys think about comedy
• 54:51
  these days?
• 54:53
  Whoa. Whoa.
• 54:56
  It's good. Yeah, it's good.
• 55:00
  Well, start with your thoughts. Yeah.
• 55:03
  Is it bad? Then he probably doesn't have
• 55:04
  any opinions. Yeah, that's true. That's
• 55:07
  true. There's something there.
• 55:11
  You got my ass, dude.
• 55:16
  I just think it's funny that we haven't
• 55:17
  been talking about comedy in any
• 55:18
  capacity. Not really. We don't We don't
• 55:20
  have to. And I don't
• 55:25
  even the state of it. Yeah. I was
• 55:29
  curious if you guys had any um pressing
• 55:31
  thoughts on the matter. If not, no
• 55:33
  worries. I mean it it's fun to do. I
• 55:36
  like it. Hell yeah. Yeah.
• 55:40
  Um I think it's increasingly not looking
• 55:42
  like a career. Yeah. For almost anyone
• 55:45
  we know. But it is. Yeah. Career-wise. I
• 55:48
  feel like I've It is. I feel like the
• 55:50
  things that are happening in
• 55:50
  entertainment in general is kind of
• 55:52
  depressing. Yeah. Like you have to
• 55:54
  really make some crap to be successful.
• 55:57
  Yeah.
• 55:59
  or but also any industry. They all seem
• 56:01
  like they're kind of equal, too. But
• 56:04
  this one feels particularly like not uh
• 56:07
  recession proof. Yeah. Especially if
• 56:10
  you're not making, but maybe I don't
• 56:13
  know. Maybe it will be. It's weird. They
• 56:15
  they say this the new the new wave. The
• 56:18
  new wave. Like, don't they famously say
• 56:20
  that like the like the entertainment
• 56:21
  industry is supposed to be recession
• 56:23
  proof, right? Or like that's what
• 56:24
  they've said before. Like people always
• 56:26
  want they always want to watch TV. Yes.
• 56:28
  Like like if you can't go out and do
• 56:30
  stuff, it's like all right, I'm going to
• 56:30
  watch Netflix. Mhm. So I don't know. I
• 56:33
  But but I see what you're saying though.
• 56:35
  And uh I hope I don't know. I think that
• 56:38
  we're on the precipice of a lot of money
• 56:40
  going the bad directions and stuff being
• 56:43
  more expensive and whatnot. So yeah. And
• 56:45
  also just like the things that people
• 56:47
  are watching or like that money is going
• 56:51
  towards in entertainment seems to be
• 56:53
  like uh I mean obviously like IP stuff
• 56:56
  but also like you know video game movies
• 56:59
  and right Tik Tok Tik Tok yeah YouTube
• 57:03
  like essentially have beast games and
• 57:05
  stuff like that. But I guess there also
• 57:07
  are models for you to make like your own
• 57:10
  stuff on a much smaller scale. It's
• 57:13
  true. might be like, okay, you'll always
• 57:15
  need supplemental other job, but you
• 57:17
  could still do maybe something you like.
• 57:21
  Mhm. Uh more
• 57:24
  easily. Pretty popular. And there's a
• 57:26
  path to money for YouTube. Certainly.
• 57:28
  Yeah. But it's not it's not everyone's
• 57:32
  dream necessarily to be a YouTuber.
• 57:34
  Sure. Which I think we'll people will
• 57:36
  have to adjust to.
• 57:39
  So negative.
• 57:42
  Yeah. I guess. Uh, how's it going for
• 57:44
  you, Benny? Uh, pretty sim similar boat
• 57:47
  where I'm like I think I was been kind
• 57:51
  of excited previously where I was like,
• 57:53
  "All right, maybe I could kind of get
• 57:54
  get it to work." But now I'm looking at
• 57:56
  all the money drying up and I'm like,
• 57:58
  "Oh, maybe I
• 58:00
  should get out of the game for a while."
• 58:03
  You know what I mean? I feel like live
• 58:05
  standup though is doing well now. Yeah,
• 58:08
  it seems like there's a lot of it. I
• 58:09
  don't know. better. Yeah, I was thinking
• 58:11
  that like with with the coming of all
• 58:14
  the AI stuff and how happy people are to
• 58:16
  see things made by AI, I was thinking
• 58:19
  that like live performance is one thing
• 58:21
  that is um AI proof a little bit. Yeah,
• 58:25
  because that is people will always want
• 58:27
  to see. I think it's true. Yeah. But I
• 58:30
  think the formula basically now is like
• 58:32
  you have to be like super famous. Some
• 58:35
  Yeah. Someone that people love seeing
• 58:37
  like on their phone like during their
• 58:38
  lunch break. Yes. And then it's like you
• 58:40
  can go visit them in a theater. Yeah.
• 58:45
  So that's the that's the I don't know
• 58:47
  that's doable. Sort of like the Disney
• 58:48
  experience for everything for every
• 58:51
  human person becomes a Disney breakfast
• 58:54
  meet and greet with my little character
• 58:56
  guy. More like celebrity based than like
• 59:00
  maybe workbased.
• 59:03
  Yeah. Singular like piece of art based.
• 59:07
  Yeah. Yeah, it just seems like the old
• 59:08
  approach to standup like is I think some
• 59:11
  people are definitely still doing it
• 59:13
  where like you somehow like try to go
• 59:15
  out of town with someone who has a car
• 59:17
  and like do shows but I don't know feel
• 59:21
  like most people can't or don't want to
• 59:24
  do that because it doesn't have very uh
• 59:26
  promising returns either financially or
• 59:29
  like you know Yeah. just career-wise
• 59:32
  unless you're already famous. Exactly.
• 59:35
  Yeah. which is why like, you know,
• 59:36
  people in Denver would want to see you,
• 59:38
  right? Otherwise, you're just in for a
• 59:40
  terrible trip where you make no money
• 59:42
  and no one likes your set.
• 59:45
  Yeah. I'm kind of um I guess in uh a
• 59:49
  little bit of that in between space
• 59:50
  where sometimes I'll have an out of town
• 59:52
  show and I'll just lose money. Yeah. And
• 59:54
  I'm like, okay,
• 59:56
  can't do I did that. Yeah. A few months
• 59:58
  ago and I was like, what? How are people
• 1:00:01
  doing this every weekend? I'm like not
• 1:00:04
  working otherwise. Where'd you go that
• 1:00:06
  time? I went to Toronto. Oh, right. But
• 1:00:08
  I Yeah. Paid paid for it. God damn. Paid
• 1:00:12
  for it. It's like what? This is like a
• 1:00:15
  This was a terrible decision. It's like
• 1:00:17
  one of the best opportunities I've had
• 1:00:19
  in a while. And it was a terrible
• 1:00:20
  decision.
• 1:00:23
  Yeah. I don't know. Uh, I guess the the
• 1:00:26
  state of comedy is state of general
• 1:00:28
  economy is what I think it's uh we're
• 1:00:31
  maybe in a spot where it's like
• 1:00:32
  impossible to predict and we need to
• 1:00:34
  just circle back in like 3 months. I
• 1:00:37
  don't know. Yeah. I mean, I think it's
• 1:00:39
  kind of almost like everything is
• 1:00:41
  impossible to predict and you have to
• 1:00:43
  just like see what
• 1:00:45
  opportunities arise and what different
• 1:00:47
  forms you can do stuff in. I guess
• 1:00:50
  that's what I'm telling myself. Yeah.
• 1:00:53
  And I think also the state of trying to
• 1:00:55
  be a comedian has always been the state
• 1:00:57
  of like trying to be a small business
• 1:00:58
  owner. Like if you have a bunch of
• 1:01:00
  capital to invest in it upfront, like
• 1:01:03
  you're going to be much more likely to
• 1:01:05
  be successful and not ruin your life.
• 1:01:09
  Yeah, but the sketch comedy game is
• 1:01:11
  booming.
• 1:01:14
  There you go. Yeah. So, let's go more
• 1:01:16
  specifics. I am actually curious. Uh
• 1:01:18
  speaking of which, we got Hotel Art
• 1:01:20
  Thief. My guest this week,
• 1:01:23
  Ros we're at the we're at the one hour
• 1:01:25
  mark. Uh $4,000 on the hotel.
• 1:01:30
  One of one
• 1:01:33
  about to be made famous in a sketch.
• 1:01:35
  Yeah. Put it in.
• 1:01:37
  My guests this week are uh Carly Maruli,
• 1:01:40
  a very funny uh Well, everybody here is
• 1:01:42
  a standup except for Joe. Yeah. Uh Carly
• 1:01:45
  is a very funny Joe. And then Kandell's
• 1:01:48
  very funny.
• 1:01:50
  Joe likes his computer. I do. I do
• 1:01:53
  little bleeps bloops on the computer.
• 1:01:55
  What you do with bleep bloops? Yeah.
• 1:02:00
  But uh Yeah, like you comedy. It's not
• 1:02:03
  comedy.
• 1:02:05
  What? Well, okay. You're all like
• 1:02:08
  extremely funny and are crushing it. And
• 1:02:11
  so to hear such a bleak outlook from
• 1:02:13
  this group of people is so upsetting.
• 1:02:16
  Truly soul crushing. Heck, I am like I
• 1:02:19
  am like you guys are crushing it. I've
• 1:02:22
  assembled the finest minds to tell you
• 1:02:24
  to give up. I feel like I it goes damn I
• 1:02:27
  [ __ ] suck. Sometimes I feel like
• 1:02:31
  um inspired. Yes, totally. And then
• 1:02:34
  other times when I feel low I guess it's
• 1:02:36
  just like the gap between like what is
• 1:02:39
  popular versus what is like good
• 1:02:42
  sometimes. Yeah. Is Yeah. And like
• 1:02:45
  what's a pathway what's a pathway to
• 1:02:47
  making any money? Any money? Yeah. In at
• 1:02:50
  all. Yeah. I am down recently because of
• 1:02:52
  uh I'm doing my taxes and I'm like oh
• 1:02:55
  yeah. Yeah. You to just take inventory
• 1:02:58
  of your whole [ __ ] value. Exactly. I
• 1:03:01
  think it's hard too when you feel like
• 1:03:02
  you're working so much and making no
• 1:03:07
  money. And I feel like, you know, you
• 1:03:09
  guys all do really excellent work and it
• 1:03:12
  ends up big places and like seemingly
• 1:03:15
  that doesn't translate into just like
• 1:03:17
  not having to worry about anything else.
• 1:03:20
  It's just crazy. But I do think well I
• 1:03:22
  guess uh while I agree with that, I do
• 1:03:26
  think that I don't want you to be under
• 1:03:28
  the illusion that it's doing nothing
• 1:03:29
  because I do think it's just like just
• 1:03:32
  keep going. Like it's like uh you know
• 1:03:34
  that meme with the the guy mining in the
• 1:03:36
  diamonds. I don't even think it's like
• 1:03:37
  the diamonds on the side. I think it's
• 1:03:38
  like right behind
• 1:03:40
  them. J logo
• 1:03:44
  holding up a sign that says give up.
• 1:03:48
  So close to getting there.
• 1:03:50
  But my my I guess my thought is it's not
• 1:03:52
  even that you're close to getting there.
• 1:03:53
  It's that every inch does matter. Uh you
• 1:03:57
  know what I mean? As my as my ex-wife
• 1:03:59
  used to say, that's why she left. And um
• 1:04:03
  No. Yeah. But
• 1:04:04
  uh like I don't know like it's like you
• 1:04:07
  guys could you know just go viral
• 1:04:10
  another what maybe 20 times and you're
• 1:04:12
  good. Yeah that is sort of the question
• 1:04:15
  like what if you knew the actual
• 1:04:17
  numbers it feels like it is always I am
• 1:04:20
  doing that calculation of like all right
• 1:04:22
  just got to do a couple more 100,000
• 1:04:24
  like things and it's like is that going
• 1:04:26
  to like why I always just be saying
• 1:04:29
  that? I'm not kidding. I think that's
• 1:04:30
  for real. Yeah. Yeah, I think you guys
• 1:04:34
  should merch. Honestly, merch would be
• 1:04:36
  cool. I think you guys could you should
• 1:04:38
  do that. Have any brands hit you up? We
• 1:04:41
  got a uh shout out Graza.
• 1:04:44
  Why did you do that? Uh for very uh I
• 1:04:49
  guess um everyone's doing Graza. Yeah, I
• 1:04:52
  guess we didn't shame in that one. Yeah,
• 1:04:54
  I guess we had some shame in they wanted
• 1:04:55
  us to do
• 1:04:58
  they wanted us to do a video game and we
• 1:05:00
  were a little afraid of doing like of
• 1:05:01
  like diluting the video game aesthetic
• 1:05:03
  that we have and like a it takes a while
• 1:05:06
  and it was a while back. It was like
• 1:05:08
  right after the bear one. So I was like
• 1:05:10
  I cannot do another video game. Like if
• 1:05:11
  you had told us before we could have
• 1:05:13
  threw some graza in.
• 1:05:17
  Oh you guys notice it was a kitchen.
• 1:05:18
  Good job. Yeah. Yeah. Let me make the
• 1:05:21
  kitchen again. No problem.
• 1:05:23
  so easy to make the kitchen.
• 1:05:26
  But I do feel like I don't know with
• 1:05:27
  some branded stuff I do feel like you do
• 1:05:29
  get into like a or at least I've seen I
• 1:05:32
  feel like some you get into you kind of
• 1:05:34
  back your name names Joe. Yeah. On the
• 1:05:36
  tip of your tongue. I' It's very
• 1:05:38
  tempting to do and I would do it, but
• 1:05:41
  I've I've voiced this complaint many
• 1:05:43
  times where like I feel like this is
• 1:05:47
  going to be repetitive for some of you,
• 1:05:48
  but like it used to be really lucrative
• 1:05:50
  to be like someone who is in commercial.
• 1:05:52
  Still is if that's like the way you're
• 1:05:54
  going if you're like a commercial actor.
• 1:05:56
  Like you'd get like thousands of
• 1:05:58
  dollars, you know, to like be in a
• 1:06:00
  commercial. And now like a company DMs
• 1:06:02
  you and they're like, "Hey, do you want
• 1:06:04
  like 500 bucks to like basically make a
• 1:06:06
  commercial for us for for no money?"
• 1:06:08
  Like, you know, to make like a little
• 1:06:11
  lowbudget commercial because you reach
• 1:06:13
  this many people and instead of us all
• 1:06:16
  the value, right? So we don't need to
• 1:06:18
  dump a huge budget into making an ad for
• 1:06:20
  our product. You we can just reach all
• 1:06:22
  your audience. Yeah.
• 1:06:25
  It cheapens It cheapens the the videos.
• 1:06:28
  Yeah. I don't I don't Everything's a
• 1:06:30
  little I guess I guess okay I feel two
• 1:06:33
  ways about where I'm like all right you
• 1:06:35
  know if you are if you need to pay rent
• 1:06:37
  totally to sometimes I'm like if you I
• 1:06:39
  would do it too if you don't need that
• 1:06:42
  to pay rent then I am like what are you
• 1:06:43
  doing come on don't do that you know
• 1:06:44
  what I mean like when somebody's already
• 1:06:46
  crushing it and then I see them sell out
• 1:06:48
  I'm like knock it off. You know what I
• 1:06:49
  mean? Yeah. And it also like if it were
• 1:06:51
  more money we'd do it. Yeah. Yeah, for
• 1:06:55
  sure.
• 1:06:57
  That much money. It's not like, "Oh, are
• 1:06:59
  we selling out if we do?" It's like It's
• 1:07:00
  like we're selling out for like Yeah.
• 1:07:01
  like 500 bucks. I'm trying to sell out.
• 1:07:04
  It's Yeah, right. They're not making it
• 1:07:06
  easy. We just sell out. I also do think
• 1:07:09
  that it matters what the thing is, too.
• 1:07:12
  And like I don't know. And why? Yeah. I
• 1:07:15
  don't know. Yeah. Seems like most of the
• 1:07:17
  little brand deals are harmless enough.
• 1:07:20
  You know, it's like food and [ __ ] Yeah.
• 1:07:22
  Yeah. But Volunteer though if you want
• 1:07:25
  to race on please do a a 3D head of like
• 1:07:29
  f for their face scanning technology.
• 1:07:31
  Yeah.
• 1:07:33
  Also I have Carly and Whitley on as
• 1:07:36
  well. Both very funny standups and uh
• 1:07:39
  they're also in the Hotel Art Thief
• 1:07:41
  sketch uh expanded universe as mentioned
• 1:07:43
  before. It's true. Joe and Candell are
• 1:07:46
  the uh Hotel Art Thief. Also Whitley uh
• 1:07:50
  runs a cool show called Club Video.
• 1:07:53
  Yeah, where people submit sketches
• 1:07:56
  if you ever seen me and Cameron's lap
• 1:07:58
  sketch. That was for club video.
• 1:08:01
  Sketch. Yeah, that cracked me up. May
• 1:08:05
  17th. May 17th. You got to buy your
• 1:08:08
  tickets and come. Yeah, me and Cameron
• 1:08:09
  got to make sketches again. We made two.
• 1:08:11
  We made number scrabble, which is I'm
• 1:08:13
  like I love I'm I'm really happy about
• 1:08:15
  that one. And then laugh also. I'm
• 1:08:16
  excited. May 17th. May 17th. It's a good
• 1:08:19
  time. It'll be a party. Are you doing
• 1:08:21
  one for club video? No. Maybe I should.
• 1:08:24
  Is it submissions closed? Too late. I'll
• 1:08:27
  submit this clip. Hopefully, we're going
• 1:08:30
  to do some uh maybe more do it more
• 1:08:32
  regularly. That's what we're hoping that
• 1:08:34
  you have to come out and buy tickets
• 1:08:36
  because if we if it goes well, we're in
• 1:08:38
  a new venue at Silo, which is like a big
• 1:08:40
  uh electronic music warehouse rave
• 1:08:43
  space. And if it goes well, then we'll
• 1:08:45
  probably be able to do more. Nice. Oh,
• 1:08:47
  hell yes. Got to get the word out. It's
• 1:08:49
  been packed. It's been
• 1:08:51
  fooled. So, you got you got a bigger
• 1:08:53
  space cuz it was full. So, like 220 was
• 1:08:56
  the most people we ever had at the last
• 1:08:57
  space. Wow. And the new space can house
• 1:09:00
  350. Hell
• 1:09:01
  yeah. Try and do. Yeah. Um, how how
• 1:09:04
  difficult is that to to put on?
• 1:09:07
  Um, I mean like we have it so down pat
• 1:09:11
  now, me and Micah and Marshall, that uh
• 1:09:15
  it's pretty routine, but I would say it
• 1:09:18
  is a fair amount of work. Yeah, it seems
• 1:09:20
  like it cuz Yeah, I feel like it there's
• 1:09:22
  so much that could go wrong with like a
• 1:09:23
  video show and I feel like they always
• 1:09:25
  go pretty smoothly. I feel like this one
• 1:09:28
  will like actually be a lower lift
• 1:09:30
  because now they have like real sound
• 1:09:32
  and a real screen and stuff which we
• 1:09:34
  used to have to like make in the
• 1:09:35
  warehouse and set all that up. So that
• 1:09:37
  was like the big operational lift and
• 1:09:39
  all the chairs. But besides that, it's
• 1:09:41
  pretty much just like making all the
• 1:09:42
  graphics and promo and Micah like
• 1:09:44
  assembles the show and uh I don't see
• 1:09:48
  the show until the day it airs which is
• 1:09:50
  always really fun. Really cool. Yeah, I
• 1:09:52
  thought there was um there's no like
• 1:09:56
  wait, who's doing the curatorial
• 1:09:57
  process? So, the way the submissions
• 1:09:59
  work is you send just a a piece of work
• 1:10:02
  that you've made ever before. You don't
• 1:10:04
  have to send the thing that we're going
• 1:10:05
  to show. You just have to send us by the
• 1:10:08
  deadline something that's never
• 1:10:10
  premiered anywhere else. Um so, a lot of
• 1:10:13
  them nobody's we haven't seen them.
• 1:10:16
  Nobody's seen them. So, we just screen
• 1:10:18
  them. How do you choose the order?
• 1:10:20
  That's what I said. That's what I
• 1:10:20
  thought. Michael will choose the order.
• 1:10:22
  So, Michael will watch that. He'll he'll
• 1:10:24
  arrange something. It's only Yeah. So,
• 1:10:26
  that's kind of his Yeah, that's cool.
• 1:10:28
  domain. Yeah, it's fun. I Yeah, same
• 1:10:31
  thought. I was like It seemed like they
• 1:10:33
  were chosen in in an order. Totally.
• 1:10:35
  Yes. Yes. Micah sees them and puts them
• 1:10:37
  in an order cuz like I don't know if you
• 1:10:38
  guys were there for the one where
• 1:10:39
  Michelle did the Subway sandwich
• 1:10:42
  chorus. Yeah. basically the whole thing
• 1:10:44
  of sandwich and there's this big chorus
• 1:10:46
  of people singing about it and it see it
• 1:10:48
  was like so awesome and we're like oh no
• 1:10:50
  nothing's going to top that that's the
• 1:10:51
  end video and then another video came up
• 1:10:53
  and everyone was kind of like oh like
• 1:10:54
  that would have been such a good moment
• 1:10:56
  but it was uh Joel Straley uh recreating
• 1:11:00
  all of the um uh what's it called the
• 1:11:04
  guys that hurt themselves the rock
• 1:11:08
  um Johnny
• 1:11:11
  Knoxville so he's
• 1:11:15
  He had all these uh clips from himself
• 1:11:17
  in high school doing jackass stuff and
• 1:11:19
  he recreated it including he uh safety
• 1:11:21
  pinned his ass cheeks together. Oh yeah.
• 1:11:23
  So that was the final shot. So that was
• 1:11:25
  a pretty good like Michael's curatorial
• 1:11:27
  mind. It was like what could be better
• 1:11:29
  than this? And it was just like only
• 1:11:32
  someone together. Wow. Yeah. I remember
• 1:11:36
  that because I remember we were like
• 1:11:38
  second or something and we were like oh
• 1:11:40
  is that like a we because we we felt
• 1:11:42
  like that was deliberately chosen and we
• 1:11:44
  were like what's we wonder why but
• 1:11:46
  chooses bad bad we were like well they
• 1:11:50
  don't want to start the show bad right
• 1:11:52
  that's true you got to keep people there
• 1:11:54
  I think it's like he mostly does it of
• 1:11:56
  like what's a nice rhythm between all
• 1:11:58
  the different videos there's no like
• 1:12:01
  we're amping up to the best video or
• 1:12:03
  anything like that at least you I don't
• 1:12:05
  know. Well, I guess and they're all
• 1:12:07
  good. So, in a larger sense, I give you
• 1:12:09
  credit for Okay. When people are making
• 1:12:12
  sketches and stuff, you just kind of a
• 1:12:14
  lot of the time we're just kind of
• 1:12:15
  crapping them into the void. You know
• 1:12:17
  what I mean? So, the to be in a room and
• 1:12:20
  to see like 120 people look away. Yeah.
• 1:12:26
  It feels good. React stuff like to react
• 1:12:30
  to things together. Yes. So Micah ran
• 1:12:32
  another show called Redhot Video Funtime
• 1:12:34
  before and it was like smaller but it
• 1:12:36
  was the same thing basically and that's
• 1:12:38
  uh that's where I started making videos
• 1:12:40
  and it really did feel so much better to
• 1:12:42
  get like yeah real feedback from real
• 1:12:45
  people and hear everybody gasp and hear
• 1:12:47
  everybody laugh and it incentivizes the
• 1:12:50
  good and then and then you then uh you
• 1:12:52
  edit it based on the live reaction we
• 1:12:55
  edited lap for what we like oh that joke
• 1:12:58
  didn't get a lap we cut it oh cool
• 1:13:00
  that's interesting Interesting.
• 1:13:02
  That's cool. I think
• 1:13:05
  um yeah, I mean that's kind of like what
• 1:13:08
  the whole point is, just to get people
• 1:13:10
  like actually interacting with each
• 1:13:12
  other around stuff, which I think has
• 1:13:14
  been good.
• 1:13:16
  Reals the show. Reals the show.
• 1:13:21
  That'd be sick. Yeah. Would you accept a
• 1:13:23
  brand partnership video?
• 1:13:27
  Like if the crowd the crowd gets like
• 1:13:28
  the flags from like Jubilee and if
• 1:13:30
  enough people put it up, we swipe to the
• 1:13:33
  next for an hour and a half. Fast
• 1:13:35
  forward. That's how my brain works. You
• 1:13:38
  can vote to skip 15 seconds.
• 1:13:42
  Yeah, we can speed it up.
• 1:13:46
  Would you guys ever be able to like pop
• 1:13:48
  the balloon
• 1:13:49
  if they gave you quite a bit of money?
• 1:13:52
  They gave me I'm sure they don't. No, it
• 1:13:55
  was like 10k. I would do it. 10k. Yeah,
• 1:13:59
  they reached out about Tourette's stuff.
• 1:14:01
  Jubilee. Really? They wanted me to do
• 1:14:03
  like They're like, "What if we did one,
• 1:14:05
  you know, the odd one out? It's like six
• 1:14:07
  people. One of them doesn't have
• 1:14:09
  Tourette's." No, I literally I had a
• 1:14:10
  Zoom call with a guy. I was like I was
• 1:14:12
  like, "Don't do that, dude." And uh
• 1:14:16
  we were like, "All right, we're going to
• 1:14:17
  find somewhere else. Someone else, but
• 1:14:18
  we're going to do it." Someone chill.
• 1:14:20
  Can't tell us not to do it. They kept
• 1:14:22
  they kept reaching out and trying to get
• 1:14:24
  me to like pitch ideas and I was like,
• 1:14:25
  "Pay me. I'm not gonna do free labor,
• 1:14:28
  dude. I don't know." So, if you not hire
• 1:14:30
  me, then just do one of my ideas. Yeah.
• 1:14:32
  Yeah. But no, I could have done 20
• 1:14:34
  people with Tourette's versus one guy
• 1:14:35
  without Exactly.
• 1:14:44
  [Music]
• 1:14:45
  Did you guys see the one that was like
• 1:14:47
  Sam Cedar and the Yeah. Yeah. Tony
• 1:14:49
  conservatives. Listen, I'm I'm watching
• 1:14:51
  these. I think they're bad. I think
• 1:14:53
  they're bad for society. These people
• 1:14:55
  are like insane.
• 1:14:57
  No minds are being changed. No. Yeah.
• 1:15:00
  Doctor one, the the doctor one, he
• 1:15:02
  literally said that he like the doctor
• 1:15:04
  one was crazy cuz they were all like
• 1:15:07
  really out there antiax people like
• 1:15:10
  debating him and he was just like so
• 1:15:12
  nice and calm the whole time. But
• 1:15:14
  there's one part or there's a clip that
• 1:15:16
  I saw online, but uh it was
• 1:15:19
  He just like stopped said what he was
• 1:15:21
  going to say. He's like, "Is there
• 1:15:22
  anything I could say right now that
• 1:15:24
  could possibly change your
• 1:15:26
  mind?" And then she was like, "Honestly,
• 1:15:28
  no." Because I like read stuff and I
• 1:15:30
  like know things. And it's like, "Okay,
• 1:15:32
  so I think we're done here." Yeah.
• 1:15:35
  That's so sad. That's truly sad. And
• 1:15:38
  then uh so so are you guys so you guys
• 1:15:41
  are consuming these hour and a half long
• 1:15:44
  content on the 2x. What's that? On the
• 1:15:47
  2x. You got to be 2x. You got to be 2x.
• 1:15:49
  I'm eating a burrito in bed and 2xing.
• 1:15:51
  I'm playing Valheim. I'm playing 2xing
• 1:15:53
  the burrito. Yeah, 2xing the burrito.
• 1:16:00
  I'm like putting eye drops in my eyes
• 1:16:01
  and eating a burrito while I do that at
• 1:16:03
  2x. Does Does Jubilee do the ones that
• 1:16:06
  are like um uh like a bunch of gay guys
• 1:16:11
  have to decide like if if the next
• 1:16:14
  person in line is straight or gay? Yeah.
• 1:16:16
  Yeah. Wait, which one? They're like they
• 1:16:18
  have like a line of guys and the guy
• 1:16:20
  like just like says his name, says hi.
• 1:16:22
  They look at what he's wearing and they
• 1:16:23
  decide if he's gay or straight. And then
• 1:16:25
  at the end they reveal. It's a big like
• 1:16:27
  you can't always judge by the cover. And
• 1:16:31
  there's another one where it's like
• 1:16:32
  bodybuilders and then they have to
• 1:16:35
  like sty
• 1:16:41
  the blindfolded and they got to be like
• 1:16:43
  who's who's not a black guy. Yeah. Yeah.

  Yeah. Yeah. Just by voice. Yeah. What
• 1:16:49
  the hell was Daruski's show? You guys
• 1:16:52
  ever seen clips from that? I I seen what
• 1:16:55
  on earth is this? It never really
• 1:16:57
  auditioning, but I don't know why. I
• 1:16:59
  think it was like fake auditions. It's
• 1:17:01
  like vibes. I think so. I feel like it's
• 1:17:04
  funny that like I kind of like that
• 1:17:05
  there's like a section of media now
• 1:17:08
  that's just like uh if you could do a
• 1:17:11
  play with just for just your friends in
• 1:17:13
  your basement. Like what if that was on
• 1:17:15
  TV?
• 1:17:17
  Like okay, Drew, you pretend to be like
• 1:17:19
  Diddian making the band. Okay, I'll do
• 1:17:21
  that. You guys pretend to be the girl.
• 1:17:23
  Like that level. I think it's also
• 1:17:26
  supposed to be like what if there was a
• 1:17:27
  show that was like just like the bad
• 1:17:29
  American Idol auditions? Like we try to
• 1:17:31
  get like like crazy delusional people to
• 1:17:34
  think that they're really auditioning
• 1:17:36
  for like a record label. Then we go,
• 1:17:37
  "Haha, no. No, you're not. I hate that.
• 1:17:42
  Let's make Let's make one right now.

  a persona.

  I love standing up. I love standing up

  moderator. And then we'll get we'll get
• 1:21:57
  uh human than us. We don't human among
• 1:22:00
  us four who do standup. We don't we
• 1:22:02
  don't know what the division is yet, but
• 1:22:06
  we'll divide ourselves into two camps
• 1:22:08
  based on some opinion. Boy, are the
• 1:22:10
  lines going to be drawn. I don't know. I
• 1:22:12
  don't know. Let's Let's figure out the
• 1:22:14
  What do we think is a contentious thing
• 1:22:16
  that we could maybe something in about
• 1:22:18
  clowning or something? I don't know. Or
• 1:22:20
  props. How good clowns live? Props.
• 1:22:28
  I don't know. Um What do you think will
• 1:22:32
  be a genuinely divisive topic? Um,
• 1:22:37
  re regional accents.
• 1:22:39
  Lazy, not lazy. Fun.
• 1:22:44
  That's just good. Good spitball. Good
• 1:22:46
  spitball. I have zero opinion on that.
• 1:22:49
  Zero opinion. Yeah.
• 1:22:52
  What's Anything been dicey
• 1:22:55
  lately? Anything been dicey? Comedy
• 1:22:58
  world.
• 1:23:02
  I mean
• 1:23:05
  like race and gender have been pretty
• 1:23:07
  good lately. Yeah, they've been pretty
• 1:23:09
  nice. Yeah. You guys want to debate race
• 1:23:11
  and gender? Yeah, that's the topic will
• 1:23:14
  be race.
• 1:23:17
  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Race versus gender.
• 1:23:20
  Gender.
• 1:23:23
  Which one's more Which one Which one's
• 1:23:25
  more important? Which one's more real?
• 1:23:28
  This one's more real. New constructs
• 1:23:31
  enter.
• 1:23:32
  Zero leave. Zero leave.
• 1:23:40
  Um I mean I feel like there's kind of a
• 1:23:42
  trend of like
• 1:23:44
  uh is this reality? You know what I
• 1:23:47
  mean? Like it's not necessarily a joke.
• 1:23:49
  It's just like people can't tell if this
• 1:23:51
  is reality or not. Give do you want to
• 1:23:54
  give an example? No.
• 1:23:56
  Fair enough. stand up hottake. None is
• 1:23:59
  none of this is like I guess this is I
• 1:24:01
  guess this is not standup. It's
• 1:24:04
  generally common. Yeah. Like irony
• 1:24:05
  poisoning to the point where it's like
• 1:24:06
  oh I don't know even know if there's
• 1:24:08
  like a satire here. It's just like this
• 1:24:10
  is a thing that's not true and like
• 1:24:13
  Yeah. You know my ass has an opinion in
• 1:24:15
  that space. So do you guys have do you
• 1:24:16
  guys have a disagreeing opinion? Does
• 1:24:19
  anybody I think I'm probably in the same
• 1:24:20
  boat as Willie where it's just like oh
• 1:24:23
  okay that's not true. I feel like, oh,
• 1:24:26
  okay. And like the most I could get mad
• 1:24:28
  about is like it's just adding to the
• 1:24:30
  global level of insanity of like people
• 1:24:33
  not being able to tell what's fake or
• 1:24:35
  real, but it is kind of like, oh, is
• 1:24:37
  there a joke or is it just that this is
• 1:24:40
  not that you are lying? Totally. Yeah.
• 1:24:44
  Mhm. We all and we're all in agreement.
• 1:24:47
  I will I think there's a lot of
• 1:24:49
  different people doing versions of that
• 1:24:51
  or even like like those like you know
• 1:24:53
  super ubiquitous like man on the street
• 1:24:55
  question videos and stuff like those are
• 1:24:57
  all all staged at this point. Yeah. Um
• 1:25:00
  but I think they're everything is meant
• 1:25:02
  to seem like spontaneous and and real.
• 1:25:05
  This is scripted. Yeah. Yeah. This is
• 1:25:07
  scripted. We're all doing a really good
• 1:25:09
  job. The street ones are bad. They're
• 1:25:10
  not bad. They're all amazing and I love
• 1:25:12
  them. But when they're like that, I
• 1:25:15
  don't like it's like I know it's fake
• 1:25:16
  and I know it's a joke. And seeing
• 1:25:18
  someone be bad at being like pretending
• 1:25:20
  to take their airbud out. It's like uh
• 1:25:23
  all right. I don't know. This feels like
• 1:25:25
  condescending. You're like that's not
• 1:25:27
  who you are. You're not that anxious or
• 1:25:30
  you're not really like that. It's like
• 1:25:32
  to uh I do feel like we do it sometimes
• 1:25:36
  a little bit. No, we don't. But I where
• 1:25:39
  we we do some because I was thinking
• 1:25:41
  about this the like the same thing. It's
• 1:25:43
  like is this funny or is this just
• 1:25:44
  lying? Yeah. And it's like because there
• 1:25:47
  are people sometimes in our you know
• 1:25:48
  comments being like this I thought this
• 1:25:50
  was real but usually we try to do a
• 1:25:52
  fools. Yeah. Usually in usually escalate
• 1:25:57
  to a place usually we for our first like
• 1:25:58
  10 seconds we'll do that of like Yeah.
• 1:26:00
  But you guys get to a a weird enough
• 1:26:02
  Yeah. For sure. For sure. You're like
• 1:26:03
  joking about a recognizable thing.
• 1:26:05
  Totally. I think there is a level of
• 1:26:07
  like everyone's doing stuff that's not
• 1:26:09
  true. It's like absurd or it's like
• 1:26:12
  exaggerated. I'm just saying like I
• 1:26:14
  think there's a point where you're
• 1:26:14
  losing like but it's not like to make
• 1:26:17
  any point like this is just a fake
• 1:26:19
  thing. It's just to go viral like it's
• 1:26:22
  like purely for the monetization of
• 1:26:25
  views. Yeah. It's like I don't know like
• 1:26:29
  I don't know. Can I here can I tell you
• 1:26:31
  my I've got this is a pet peeve. I hate
• 1:26:34
  everybody's doing [ __ ] uh quirky
• 1:26:37
  voice. You know what I mean? Quirky
• 1:26:38
  voice. Do an example. Do a line of
• 1:26:40
  quirky.
• 1:26:44
  It's like a heavy Chinese. I noticed a
• 1:26:47
  weird quirky voice kind of like um you
• 1:26:51
  know what I mean? Kind of like Yeah.
• 1:26:52
  There's a level of like like pretending
• 1:26:55
  to do comedy kind of doing comedy bad
• 1:26:58
  but like an impression of being an
• 1:27:00
  awkward person. pretending to be a
• 1:27:02
  certain type of awkward person, but I'd
• 1:27:03
  never meet that person in real life.
• 1:27:05
  Everybody's just doing a simulation of
• 1:27:07
  that same caricature. Yeah. Where
• 1:27:09
  they're like, uh, like the the weird
• 1:27:11
  friend, dude, XYZ. You know what I mean?
• 1:27:13
  Do you guys remember? This is definitely
• 1:27:15
  not the name. Gerbles.
• 1:27:18
  I do. Weird stand up.
• 1:27:22
  There's some person who was like doing a
• 1:27:26
  little I'm doing a little voice and I'm
• 1:27:27
  a little gremlin and I do this and they
• 1:27:29
  got kind of like their ass handed to
• 1:27:31
  them by the full internet of like cringe
• 1:27:34
  loser. I hate this for Do you know the I
• 1:27:38
  remember this. It's not Gerbles, but it
• 1:27:39
  is something like that. It's a young
• 1:27:41
  lady. Yeah, I know. I know what you're
• 1:27:42
  talking about. Young woman. I don't
• 1:27:44
  Yeah. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. I I No, no, no.
• 1:27:46
  It was like a maybe there's a couple
• 1:27:48
  people that's had this happen. But then
• 1:27:49
  it's like but then people do that voice
• 1:27:51
  making fun of them but then it becomes
• 1:27:52
  their whole character and then they're
• 1:27:54
  doing every video like that and it's
• 1:27:55
  like but aren't are you just like now
• 1:27:57
  kind of doing that voice cuz it's funny
• 1:27:59
  cuz that's what they said in the first
• 1:28:00
  place. Well, I think and this is a
• 1:28:02
  little like ungenerous but I think it's
• 1:28:04
  like if you know your idea isn't that
• 1:28:06
  strong then like being like what if I
• 1:28:10
  said this is easier than just like
• 1:28:12
  saying the joke. Like, wouldn't it be
• 1:28:15
  crazy if I said this thing that's not
• 1:28:16
  really funny? Yeah. Who would say that?
• 1:28:19
  Yeah. My big issue with Yeah. Like, my
• 1:28:22
  big issue with like satire or a lot of
• 1:28:25
  irony stuff that's like that and that
• 1:28:26
  that doesn't like kind of go to a weird
• 1:28:28
  place with you guys is you're just uh
• 1:28:30
  looking at a flawed behavior and just
• 1:28:32
  copying it. You're just going, I'm like
• 1:28:35
  that guy. And we're all supposed to go
• 1:28:36
  like, ah, yes, that's wrong. You know
• 1:28:38
  what I mean? Yeah. I don't know. But
• 1:28:39
  you're just like being like that guy's
• 1:28:41
  that person is weird and like there's no
• 1:28:44
  joke writing element. It's just like
• 1:28:45
  totally you know what I mean? Weird guy.
• 1:28:49
  Yeah. I feel like that's pretty good. We
• 1:28:51
  should let's collab. Let's collab.
• 1:28:54
  I feel like there's a similar thing with
• 1:28:56
  in like online and like sketch comedy of
• 1:28:59
  just like you're not making a joke.
• 1:29:02
  You're just
• 1:29:03
  you're you're saying like this is you're
• 1:29:05
  like copying something and you're being
• 1:29:07
  Yeah. You're doing it ironically and
• 1:29:09
  making fun of it ostensibly, but it's
• 1:29:11
  like but you're not actually you don't
• 1:29:13
  have any jokes. You're kind of not
• 1:29:15
  holding up your end of the bargain cuz
• 1:29:16
  you're just like making more of the
• 1:29:18
  thing. Yeah. Exactly. Commentary or any
• 1:29:22
  perspective to this. Yeah. Yeah. And
• 1:29:24
  that's what it feels like a little bit
• 1:29:25
  of people just like and maybe because
• 1:29:27
  the churn of content is so quick, but
• 1:29:29
  people who are like pointing at
• 1:29:32
  things but they don't have any like
• 1:29:34
  perspective on it. So, they're just sort
• 1:29:36
  of like
• 1:29:37
  doing something crazy and maybe are in
• 1:29:40
  the news. What can I do? Yeah. Like a
• 1:29:44
  like a Trump impression is just a Trump
• 1:29:46
  impression and you're like,
• 1:29:49
  "Sorry, is that Sorry, I didn't mean No.
• 1:29:51
  Yeah. I mean, yeah. Or anything where
• 1:29:54
  it's just like there's a funny
• 1:30:00
  That's reinforcing good
• 1:30:02
  behavior. Trump impression. You're just
• 1:30:05
  lying. Mike, you're just lying. Well,
• 1:30:07
  you didn't actually add anything to the
• 1:30:09
  conversation. That might get this I
• 1:30:10
  wonder if that'll get this flagged on
• 1:30:12
  YouTube as
• 1:30:15
  the best part is the podcast of the
• 1:30:16
  month. You have to blur it
• 1:30:19
  out accurate. Uh Angel Benny just cuts
• 1:30:22
  this up heavily and it's just me holding
• 1:30:24
  this up and saying Trump is awesome.
• 1:30:27
  That's all that remains.
• 1:30:29
  Get you doing a one of those the soy
• 1:30:31
  faces.
• 1:30:32
  [Laughter]
• 1:30:37
  Why? Why do you not do standup? I'm
• 1:30:39
  curious if that will give us an insight
• 1:30:41
  as to moderation with you. Yeah. Um
• 1:30:45
  yeah, I guess I never I did it a I've
• 1:30:48
  done it a few times or more than a few
• 1:30:50
  times since I've moved to New York and I
• 1:30:52
  never like fell in love with it, I
• 1:30:54
  guess. And I I mean my first
• 1:30:55
  introduction to comedy was like doing
• 1:30:57
  sketch in college. not my first
• 1:30:59
  introduction, but that was like the
• 1:31:00
  first stuff that I wrote. And I just
• 1:31:02
  have more fun
• 1:31:05
  um doing stuff with like multiple people
• 1:31:07
  on stage, I guess, or like creating uh I
• 1:31:12
  guess that's just how I write jokes and
• 1:31:13
  like how I how funny things come to me
• 1:31:15
  is like from a more visual and like that
• 1:31:17
  doesn't reflect reflect back to us.
• 1:31:22
  Not at all. Or I I I guess I just have a
• 1:31:24
  tough time uh I just never I guess found
• 1:31:26
  my voice. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Do you
• 1:31:29
  feel like you're finding it now though
• 1:31:30
  with the sketch? Definitely. Definitely.
• 1:31:32
  I mean, but it's like a a sketch voice.
• 1:31:34
  Yeah. I would have a tough time figuring
• 1:31:36
  out how to transition into If I killed
• 1:31:38
  Mike, I guess.
• 1:31:40
  Yeah. I mean, I guess I could do that.
• 1:31:44
  That's pretty good.
• 1:31:46
  You know, I Okay. Uh, if we can't I'll
• 1:31:49
  do maybe we'll do hot takes. I feel like
• 1:31:50
  we just heard Whitley's hot take. You
• 1:31:52
  know what I mean? Is that people are
• 1:31:54
  Let's get hotter. Let's get hotter.
• 1:31:57
  Yeah, the show with even hotter and
• 1:32:02
  uh the can we'll go down the line. Just
• 1:32:06
  a hot take. Hot take. Candle or Carly,
• 1:32:09
  whoever has one first. Don't burn your
• 1:32:11
  Subway take for when you get asked. No,
• 1:32:12
  no, no, no. Don't burn your Subway take
• 1:32:15
  for comedy specific. Oh, for comedy. Oh,
• 1:32:17
  hot take. All right. Um I mean this
• 1:32:20
  one's not. This one's lukewarm, maybe.
• 1:32:22
  What the hell is [ __ ] won't burn
• 1:32:24
  your hot take on my show in case you do
• 1:32:26
  subway takes. What the hell? Sorry, that
• 1:32:29
  was my first instinct. You've got one
• 1:32:30
  ready to go in the barrel. Sorry. I
• 1:32:33
  think um that it's good to look nice on
• 1:32:39
  stage. You know what I mean? I don't
• 1:32:41
  think it takes anything away from your
• 1:32:43
  comedy if you like try to like look nice
• 1:32:47
  and dress like you're going to be in
• 1:32:49
  front of people. Oh, sure. To uh Yes. To
• 1:32:53
  what degree are we talking nice? Like
• 1:32:54
  are we saying like um like you'd like
• 1:32:57
  dress cool even? I think that benefits
• 1:32:59
  some people like you're going to a party
• 1:33:02
  or whatever. Yeah. Like you're you are
• 1:33:04
  out. You're probably at a bar. It's
• 1:33:07
  probably night time.
• 1:33:09
  Listening. Yeah. I would add to that.
• 1:33:12
  There's like it's okay to also look like
• 1:33:15
  interesting on stage instead of just
• 1:33:17
  wearing like I don't know. I I think
• 1:33:19
  there's like an idea that you have to
• 1:33:21
  wear something really boring. Yeah. I
• 1:33:24
  mean, or like that's you have to dress
• 1:33:25
  like a stand up guy, you know? It's
• 1:33:28
  like, oh, you're an entertainer, but you
• 1:33:29
  have to be the most normal looking next
• 1:33:31
  door. It's like, buddy, we're going to
• 1:33:33
  believe that you have a bunch of
• 1:33:34
  roommates and your life sucks. Even if
• 1:33:36
  you're like wearing your nice sweater,
• 1:33:41
  you know, it might even make you more
• 1:33:43
  confident. You know, I think like
• 1:33:46
  wearing, you know, a a nice outfit
• 1:33:49
  probably makes you act differently.
• 1:33:51
  Yeah, that's my hot take. Lukewarm take.
• 1:33:54
  I like that. No, that's one that I'm
• 1:33:55
  going to that I'm going to think about
• 1:33:56
  because I feel like I do dress boring
• 1:33:58
  and I'm going to be like, let me try to
• 1:33:59
  go a little more. You don't have to
• 1:34:00
  dress not like yourself, but No, but No,
• 1:34:02
  but no, no, no, she just called you
• 1:34:04
  boring. No, I'm just saying you don't
• 1:34:06
  have to like whatever.
• 1:34:10
  No, but I am I am doing the deliberate
• 1:34:13
  like trying to dress neutral so there's
• 1:34:16
  no distractions. But I kind of like what
• 1:34:18
  you're saying where it's like distract a
• 1:34:20
  little. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. And also
• 1:34:23
  what's neutral?
• 1:34:25
  Like maybe that's distracting.
• 1:34:27
  Everything beige and then a zip hoodie.
• 1:34:30
  Yeah. Yeah. How your dress should inform
• 1:34:33
  or be informed by the things you want to
• 1:34:35
  do and say on stage. Yes. And should
• 1:34:38
  elevate it. your set list on your shirt.
• 1:34:40
  Yeah. Yeah. It's upside down so you can
• 1:34:42
  read it on your arms. I guess. Yeah.
• 1:34:45
  Like if you're a character, it should be
• 1:34:46
  I think I guess what I'm saying is like
• 1:34:48
  what's neutral? It's like if you're kind
• 1:34:49
  of a character like why can't your how
• 1:34:51
  you dress be an extension of that and
• 1:34:54
  like everyone's character is not like
• 1:34:56
  average guy, you know? For sure. Yeah.
• 1:35:00
  Yeah. What's your take?
• 1:35:03
  [Music]
• 1:35:06
  Have one yet in the barrel. think
• 1:35:08
  whoever has one I guess can go next.
• 1:35:10
  I've got one ready if uh I think that uh
• 1:35:14
  if you're booked on a show uh you should
• 1:35:17
  not agree to do like you should only
• 1:35:19
  ever do one show a night. I think it's
• 1:35:21
  psycho when people do multiple spots.
• 1:35:24
  It's like stay like if you're booked on
• 1:35:26
  a show stay and hang out and watch
• 1:35:28
  everybody's sets and meet everybody.
• 1:35:30
  I think to a certain extent that's I
• 1:35:33
  mean if you're on a show at like seven
• 1:35:34
  and another show at like 9:30 that could
• 1:35:37
  be that would be good. That's that Yeah,
• 1:35:38
  I should I should clarify. You should
• 1:35:40
  not um be running around doing spots
• 1:35:43
  because it's not about just the spot.
• 1:35:46
  It's about the hang. The hang is as
• 1:35:49
  important. And have you ever had a night
• 1:35:51
  where you've done like two or three
• 1:35:52
  spots and you're it's like a whirlwind
• 1:35:54
  and you're exhausted and you're like wow
• 1:35:56
  like I was so frazzled and you bombed
• 1:35:59
  almost all of those and that was like
• 1:36:01
  totally
• 1:36:02
  pointless spent a bunch of money by
• 1:36:04
  Yeah. Yeah. You didn't make any
• 1:36:06
  connection. You weren't socializing. You
• 1:36:08
  just like leaving. And this is also it's
• 1:36:10
  a little bit of a flipped thing where
• 1:36:12
  like I just uh not to name names, but
• 1:36:15
  there's like somebody that I've done
• 1:36:17
  multiple shows with and they always ask
• 1:36:19
  to go early so they can do more spots
• 1:36:21
  and leave and they've never seen my set
• 1:36:23
  and then we're like not friends cuz we
• 1:36:25
  never chat and they don't stay and I'm
• 1:36:27
  like
• 1:36:29
  Bradford and I'm like I'm like we would
• 1:36:31
  be friends by now if you stayed for the
• 1:36:33
  shows that we've been on together. You
• 1:36:34
  know what I mean? Even when I ask to go
• 1:36:36
  early I always watch whoever's after me.
• 1:36:38
  M I try to. Yeah, I try. Unless I really
• 1:36:41
  have to leave. Do you guys disagree with
• 1:36:42
  my hot take? No, I think that's nice.
• 1:36:45
  Yeah, for sure. It's nice. It's nice to
• 1:36:48
  participate. I think definitely to like
• 1:36:49
  watch, you know, not just come do your
• 1:36:52
  thing and leave. Yeah, for sure. But
• 1:36:54
  yeah, the nice but also I do think there
• 1:36:57
  is a selfish element as well of like
• 1:37:00
  networking is genuinely a major part of
• 1:37:03
  it. You know what I mean? Uh and by
• 1:37:06
  networking I mean making real lasting
• 1:37:08
  connections and friendships mushrooms
• 1:37:10
  are a network
• 1:37:13
  actually. Yeah. Oh sure. Yeah. Totally.
• 1:37:15
  Business the substructure of the entire
• 1:37:18
  ecosystem.
• 1:37:20
  Yeah. And and we've I mean we've all had
• 1:37:22
  moments where you feel disappointed that
• 1:37:24
  like someone that you think is really
• 1:37:25
  funny or cool didn't see your set. And
• 1:37:27
  I'm sure people have felt that way about
• 1:37:30
  maybe us if we leave for sure. For sure.
• 1:37:32
  So, and you might just discover someone
• 1:37:34
  who's really only push back I would give
• 1:37:35
  is just like I don't know sometimes
• 1:37:37
  you're just trying to do more shows
• 1:37:39
  tummy hurts. Okay. But okay, but here's
• 1:37:41
  my Okay. I'm not doing that all the
• 1:37:42
  time. Most times I left it was just cuz
• 1:37:44
  I didn't want to be there. Yeah. You
• 1:37:47
  don't always want to network. If you
• 1:37:49
  don't respect them, that's valid. If you
• 1:37:50
  don't like the people or the vibe, but I
• 1:37:52
  um can I double can I double my hot
• 1:37:55
  take? I'm uh double or nothing is that I
• 1:37:58
  uh give it to the next person.
• 1:38:00
  person. I don't believe in stage time
• 1:38:04
  culture. I don't think that doing a lot
• 1:38:06
  of stage time is necessary or good. You
• 1:38:10
  know what I mean? I think it's qu I
• 1:38:11
  think it's quality, not quantity. So, I
• 1:38:13
  think like if you do one set and really
• 1:38:15
  sit with it for a week, that's better
• 1:38:16
  than doing three sets every night for a
• 1:38:19
  month. I think a lot of people who do
• 1:38:21
  believe in like constant stage time like
• 1:38:24
  are the kind of people who would never
• 1:38:28
  learn their lesson. You know what I
• 1:38:30
  mean? Like I think someone who will
• 1:38:32
  never accept that they're like maybe not
• 1:38:34
  super funny. Like getting a tempered
• 1:38:37
  reaction three times a night is
• 1:38:39
  obviously not stopping them, right? So
• 1:38:42
  that's maybe the kind of person who will
• 1:38:44
  keep doing that. Yeah. The grinding.
• 1:38:47
  Yes. Yes. I think the grime culture is
• 1:38:49
  bad and that has to do with spot
• 1:38:50
  culture. I think it's like more useful
• 1:38:52
  when you're starting out and then you
• 1:38:54
  get to a point where you kind of have
• 1:38:56
  better sensibilities and you know maybe
• 1:38:58
  what's going to be funny and you can try
• 1:38:59
  it out on stage one time, right? So I
• 1:39:02
  guess like it's partially that of like
• 1:39:03
  how far you get to, but when you're
• 1:39:05
  starting out it's like are you running
• 1:39:06
  around doing spots? You know what I
• 1:39:08
  mean? Maybe maybe mics, you know what I
• 1:39:10
  mean? Makes versus spots. Yeah. And also
• 1:39:14
  like if you write down a joke in your
• 1:39:16
  notebook and you're like I have to go
• 1:39:18
  try this at Mike's because I have no
• 1:39:20
  idea if this is funny. It's like well
• 1:39:22
  you kind of should know. That's true.
• 1:39:24
  That's true.
• 1:39:27
  Find out. Yeah. No, I think that's
• 1:39:29
  interesting. Yeah. And I'm passing the
• 1:39:31
  the take ball.
• 1:39:34
  Who's going to take the tape?
• 1:39:39
  You have to eat that now. Yeah, you got
• 1:39:40
  to eat that whole thing. The last dab.
• 1:39:43
  I'm going to put the hat on. Put on the
• 1:39:44
  hat on the on the
• 1:39:47
  sculpture on that sculpture. Oh, that
• 1:39:50
  hat looks nice. Wait, combine them.
• 1:39:51
  Let's combine them all briefly. That's a
• 1:39:53
  nice super organism. Yes, that's cool.
• 1:39:57
  Okay, here's a hot take. If you're uh
• 1:40:00
  nothing, this is two hot takes. One, if
• 1:40:03
  you're making the flyers, just ask
• 1:40:06
  people for a photo that they like of
• 1:40:09
  themselves. Yep. No, don't pick a bad
• 1:40:12
  one and don't scroll through their
• 1:40:14
  Instagram and find something that is
• 1:40:16
  clearly not meant to promote like a
• 1:40:19
  picture of them at the beach and put
• 1:40:21
  that as the flyer. And then the second
• 1:40:24
  part, make your flyers look good at all.
• 1:40:29
  Yeah. Make the names readable. Put the
• 1:40:32
  names on it. I've had people make show
• 1:40:34
  posters where it's like you have to
• 1:40:36
  click to the tagged names and it's like
• 1:40:39
  that's what makes people come to certain
• 1:40:41
  shows. It's like who's on it. I was
• 1:40:43
  fully agreeing with you and I still do
• 1:40:45
  but a part of it I never thought of is
• 1:40:47
  when you said the beach pictures that
• 1:40:49
  feels creepy in a gendered way and I
• 1:40:50
  never thought about that. Totally. When
• 1:40:51
  someone just goes on or goes into your
• 1:40:53
  tagged photos, not even your grid
• 1:40:55
  photos, they're like kind of fingering
• 1:40:58
  through your Instagram for a picture. I
• 1:41:00
  I've had that's felt weird to me where
• 1:41:02
  they've pulled an old photo. Uh but I
• 1:41:05
  haven't thought of that second layer of
• 1:41:07
  and it's you at like a scantily clad
• 1:41:10
  photo or something. Just a picture of me
• 1:41:13
  in in a costume I made of me as a
• 1:41:15
  strawberry for Halloween. It's like do
• 1:41:17
  you think this is going to be what's
• 1:41:19
  happening? It's like well she's being
• 1:41:21
  funny advertising. It's funniest I've
• 1:41:23
  ever seen a baby.
• 1:41:26
  This is a strawberry. Yeah. They're
• 1:41:27
  always doing the petting. It's like
• 1:41:29
  whatever the most recent petting zoo
• 1:41:30
  photo on my Instagram account is. It's
• 1:41:32
  like always you snake. The snake.
• 1:41:37
  Bring the snake. Yeah. Like without the
• 1:41:41
  context. Yeah. You're just a badass
• 1:41:43
  snake guy that also does. And it it
• 1:41:46
  should work the same way as like asking
• 1:41:47
  for someone's credits where like you
• 1:41:49
  don't look in someone's Instagram bio
• 1:41:51
  for their credits. So like just ask me
• 1:41:53
  to send a picture for the for the flyer
• 1:41:56
  if you need it. One time I turned on the
• 1:41:58
  I on my website I turned on the
• 1:41:59
  automatic blog feature and it just
• 1:42:01
  created this like thing the page that
• 1:42:03
  says blog and then I did a show and
• 1:42:05
  somebody's like check out his
• 1:42:08
  blog I do not have a blog and they're
• 1:42:11
  like it's on your website and I was like
• 1:42:13
  that's not why would you
• 1:42:16
  I didn't read it all. I saw a blog blog
• 1:42:19
  we'll put it in. That's a good take.
• 1:42:22
  Good take that a good sound. Was that
• 1:42:23
  two? You said you had two. Was that? Oh,
• 1:42:25
  just make them look good. Oh, just make
• 1:42:26
  them look good. Yeah, I think overall
• 1:42:28
  the taste levels could be
• 1:42:31
  Yeah. risen. But that is that's like
• 1:42:33
  that's related to the It's just in
• 1:42:35
  general where it's like make your people
• 1:42:36
  should make their jokes funnier. You
• 1:42:38
  know what I mean? It's like taste in
• 1:42:39
  general should be better. Sure. Sure.
• 1:42:41
  Sure. Yeah. We got a hot take deficit
• 1:42:44
  over in this zone. We got Well, like
• 1:42:46
  Carly said, like looking good too is a
• 1:42:49
  similar thing of like what if this was
• 1:42:51
  all slightly better? Yeah.
• 1:42:55
  For sure.
• 1:42:58
  You got one. You know, I knew Mike was
• 1:42:59
  whispering me a really spicy taste right
• 1:43:01
  now. Oh, yeah.
• 1:43:05
  I
• 1:43:07
  think I ain't got nothing. I'm trying to
• 1:43:10
  think of stuff that we complain about.
• 1:43:12
  Oh, I This is all the same general
• 1:43:14
  complaint we're all circling around, but
• 1:43:17
  on stage, people trying hard. It's like
• 1:43:20
  know all the words you're going to say
• 1:43:23
  or if you know if you want to improv and
• 1:43:25
  be loose like know where you're going
• 1:43:27
  and like even at an open mic you can
• 1:43:30
  know what you're going to do. It's only
• 1:43:31
  three minutes. You can
• 1:43:34
  It's three minutes. I've been waiting
• 1:43:36
  all day for this. How about make it
• 1:43:38
  count? Yeah. I I was going to say
• 1:43:41
  similar thing of um I feel like
• 1:43:44
  comedians all comedians standups would
• 1:43:46
  benefit from acting classes. I think
• 1:43:48
  acting interesting. I think I gotta say
• 1:43:50
  I gotta say you not a stand-up saying
• 1:43:52
  this does make me really bristle.
• 1:43:55
  I am like no the first one I've
• 1:43:57
  disagreed with.
• 1:44:00
  [ __ ] I'm like no no no no get out of
• 1:44:02
  here with that. You don't have to.
• 1:44:06
  Yeah. And then the next time being like
• 1:44:08
  performative like Yeah. Yeah. Not like
• 1:44:12
  rocking back and forth like with both
• 1:44:14
  hands in your hoodie like a baby. Maybe
• 1:44:16
  that would be good. No, no, no. I I I I
• 1:44:18
  I validate it and sorry. You're either
• 1:44:22
  rocking snapping your rubber band or
• 1:44:23
  you're like a theater kid who has like
• 1:44:26
  Yeah. It's like I feel like that I did
• 1:44:29
  this like that's also bad. Like just be
• 1:44:31
  a person. I think it's Stanniski has a
• 1:44:34
  book. I think it's him opens it where
• 1:44:35
  it's like some people are volcanoes or
• 1:44:37
  something. People are icebergs and they
• 1:44:39
  need different advice. So there's like
• 1:44:40
  two ends of that. I feel like Yeah, I
• 1:44:42
  feel like the the Yeah, there's
• 1:44:45
  like people think that acting classes is
• 1:44:47
  like becoming a theater kid or becoming
• 1:44:49
  like like But it's just like helps you
• 1:44:51
  be confident and like express yourself a
• 1:44:54
  little bit. No, totally. I think you I
• 1:44:56
  think that's totally good in I think uh
• 1:44:58
  my only disagreement with the take is I
• 1:45:00
  think that uh I think there's a lot of
• 1:45:02
  people I think it would benefit a lot of
• 1:45:04
  people, but I don't think everybody Oh,
• 1:45:07
  that's my that's my that's my one. Like
• 1:45:10
  what what uh Yeah. But yes, good.
• 1:45:12
  Michael was saying like sometimes it's
• 1:45:14
  like what if there were some jokes here?
• 1:45:16
  Yeah. What if there were some jokes
• 1:45:18
  involved in this? For sure. They should
• 1:45:19
  take my joke writing class. That's what
• 1:45:21
  they should take.
• 1:45:23
  Wow. This has all been vertical
• 1:45:25
  integration.
• 1:45:28
  We're We've been tricked into doing a
• 1:45:30
  commercial for our friend. Oh my god.
• 1:45:34
  Mike's on it
• 1:45:36
  a lift.
• 1:45:42
  You've been bugged.
• 1:45:44
  Go with the party. You've been bugged.
• 1:45:46
  More props in sketch comedy. We've been
• 1:45:48
  bringing that back.
• 1:45:50
  I feel like you told that said that one
• 1:45:52
  at one point that prop comedy is is gets
• 1:45:54
  a bad rap. Or prop comedy gets a bad
• 1:45:56
  rap. Absolutely. Yes. And I I agree with
• 1:45:58
  that. I didn't want to Why shouldn't I
• 1:46:00
  have a big hammer?
• 1:46:02
  It's good to do object work and stuff,
• 1:46:04
  but like it's better if you have the
• 1:46:06
  object. Yeah.
• 1:46:08
  Yeah, especially if the object's in said
• 1:46:10
  broke boys stay out.
• 1:46:16
  But I think I think like um the part of
• 1:46:18
  the take I said before is like Julio
• 1:46:20
  Torres uh just calls his props shapes
• 1:46:23
  and is doing incredible prop comedy. You
• 1:46:26
  know what I mean? And people are like,
• 1:46:27
  "Oh, totally." You know what I mean?
• 1:46:29
  Yes.
• 1:46:30
  Agreed.
• 1:46:32
  You ever seen um I think it was maybe
• 1:46:34
  like a a a JFL or a Comedy Central. It
• 1:46:38
  was it's pretty it's pretty old clip
• 1:46:40
  where Kristen Shawl is like doing um
• 1:46:43
  she's like, "Oh, I just auditioned for
• 1:46:44
  Law and Order SVU. Like, do you want to
• 1:46:46
  see it?" Everyone's like, "Yeah, yeah."
• 1:46:48
  and she goes like in her bag and pulls
• 1:46:50
  out like a a grocery store like 12pack
• 1:46:53
  of glazed donuts and then she like opens
• 1:46:56
  them and she does like this her half of
• 1:46:58
  the audition where like detectives are
• 1:47:00
  asking her if she like um it was like
• 1:47:02
  her friend who got like you know
• 1:47:04
  kidnapped or whatever and she's crying
• 1:47:06
  and like eating all of them like while
• 1:47:08
  she's like explaining like where she
• 1:47:10
  last saw her. It's so funny. That's so
• 1:47:13
  good. That's great. It rocks. It's
• 1:47:15
  really funny. She was a great part of
• 1:47:17
  the like 20 mid 2010s all comedy for
• 1:47:22
  sure. Totally of the concords. Big time.
• 1:47:25
  Yeah. And she was set up real well for
• 1:47:27
  that like indie animation boom cuz she
• 1:47:29
  is such a freak voice. Yeah. I mean
• 1:47:32
  she's in like every every animated
• 1:47:34
  thing. Everything, you know. She's got a
• 1:47:36
  house. Oh yeah. Come on. She's got a
• 1:47:38
  house. I feel like it would be funny to
• 1:47:40
  see her in a like standoff with Miranda
• 1:47:43
  July.
• 1:47:44
  [Laughter]
• 1:47:46
  Yeah, they coordinated. Kristen Miranda,
• 1:47:50
  is that the red lipstick person? Like
• 1:47:53
  she just has like has curly hair. She
• 1:47:55
  did um Yumi and everyone, you know, she
• 1:47:57
  directed that. Bunch of books. First
• 1:47:59
  Batman. She's kind of like just like an
• 1:48:01
  indie film darling type. Yeah. Don't
• 1:48:04
  know, but just similar. They look kind
• 1:48:06
  of the same. You're thinking Miranda
• 1:48:08
  says
• 1:48:10
  Miranda
• 1:48:11
  says Miranda Sings. Yeah, she was on
• 1:48:15
  comedian. I'm like I was like who the
• 1:48:17
  [ __ ] is this? That's how I discovered
• 1:48:19
  her was on Comedians and Cars getting
• 1:48:21
  coffee and it's like what is that the
• 1:48:23
  woman with the ukulele who was a creep?
• 1:48:26
  Yeah.
• 1:48:28
  Representation female pervert. That's
• 1:48:31
  true. That's true.
• 1:48:34
  Can do it too. Women can be comedians.
• 1:48:37
  [Laughter]
• 1:48:39
  Famous perverts. You see like who they
• 1:48:42
  just get Russell Brand. They got his
• 1:48:44
  ass. They got his ass. They did like a
• 1:48:46
  sting. Did they actually get him? He got
• 1:48:49
  charges or some [ __ ] like that. Charged.
• 1:48:50
  It's for a rape that was pretty old. Oh,
• 1:48:54
  an assault. Oh, so she was of age.
• 1:48:56
  Sorry. She was pretty old. Sorry. A long
• 1:48:59
  time ago. Pun on the word in the UK.
• 1:49:02
  Okay. An old rape. But it's it's
• 1:49:06
  interesting where it's like uh I don't
• 1:49:08
  know like there's these people with big
• 1:49:10
  allegations like whoever the [ __ ] and
• 1:49:12
  then they're not in jail. You know what
• 1:49:15
  I mean? Yeah. You got the wrong that's
• 1:49:18
  going to go in be everyone. Like Cosby's
• 1:49:20
  out now. You know what I mean?
• 1:49:23
  Technicality. It's true. But what's the
• 1:49:26
  technicality? I don't remember. Okay.
• 1:49:28
  Here's a hot take. Giddy's out. Here's a
• 1:49:30
  hot take. If you think someone is
• 1:49:31
  genuinely evil, you can disconnect from
• 1:49:34
  them. I don't have anyone like that. I
• 1:49:37
  It's just like I feel like people would
• 1:49:38
  be like, "Oh, this person has all these
• 1:49:40
  allegations, blah blah blah blah blah."
• 1:49:41
  But then they just don't want to like
• 1:49:43
  disconnect from them. Yeah. And I feel
• 1:49:45
  like that's just interesting. By
• 1:49:48
  disconnect, you mean like no longer
• 1:49:49
  engage with them. Just unfollow them at
• 1:49:51
  least. You're just like, why are we all
• 1:49:54
  following this person we think is a
• 1:49:56
  monster? Well, hate hate following is
• 1:49:59
  certainly a thing that we've all
• 1:50:00
  enjoyed,
• 1:50:01
  [Music]
• 1:50:02
  I guess. Yeah,
• 1:50:04
  but I Yeah, I mean, even if you like you
• 1:50:07
  don't even have to unfollow them, but I
• 1:50:08
  guess it's just like sometimes it feels
• 1:50:10
  like
• 1:50:11
  people feel the need to maintain
• 1:50:14
  connections with people. I just feel
• 1:50:15
  like you got to walk whatever your talk
• 1:50:17
  is. So, if your talk is like this
• 1:50:19
  person's pure evil and they're so so
• 1:50:22
  wrong, then yeah, un unfollow them. get
• 1:50:25
  them out of your life. But if that's not
• 1:50:28
  your your talk, then you know, who
• 1:50:30
  cares? Just chilling. Here's a new hot
• 1:50:33
  take. And and maybe and maybe I'll de
• 1:50:37
  scenify it. We'll take it from whatever
• 1:50:40
  localized abstraction. So there's this
• 1:50:42
  astronaut with a bunch of allegations.
• 1:50:45
  Yeah. And I'm going to go larger and not
• 1:50:48
  necessarily allegation guys, but all the
• 1:50:49
  like conservative grifter scene because
• 1:50:51
  I want to talk about evil a little bit.
• 1:50:53
  I guess evil I shouldn't have said evil.
• 1:50:55
  That was too strong. Well, because I've
• 1:50:56
  been like I don't know.
• 1:50:59
  Okay. Okay. I've been thinking about
• 1:51:01
  this a lot. I think about this [ __ ] all
• 1:51:03
  the time cuz those guys are ruining
• 1:51:05
  society and also in our art form. You
• 1:51:07
  know what I mean? Um but I've been
• 1:51:09
  thinking I'm like I don't know if
• 1:51:11
  they're evil or if they're like just
• 1:51:16
  genuinely just uh stupid but selfish in
• 1:51:21
  a way where they don't care. I think
• 1:51:23
  that what is evil evil? I don't know.
• 1:51:24
  Yeah, I think evil could equal selfish
• 1:51:27
  plus stupid over money or
• 1:51:30
  whatever deeply harmful harmful person.
• 1:51:33
  Yeah. And and it's I'm trying to figure
• 1:51:35
  out how to Okay. I think most people
• 1:51:37
  like that are just dumb and like like in
• 1:51:40
  tar like I I like that movie a lot cuz I
• 1:51:43
  think she seems just really stupid but
• 1:51:45
  because she's so empowered she kind of
• 1:51:47
  like trips all over herself and still
• 1:51:49
  gets to do all this weird crap to
• 1:51:51
  people. And then um once she loses that
• 1:51:54
  power, then it just suddenly seems like
• 1:51:56
  seedy and gross what she's doing. And I
• 1:51:58
  think it's often like that of like it's
• 1:52:00
  weird people with weird compulsions and
• 1:52:03
  weird insecurities that do weird things
• 1:52:05
  to other people, but when they get a
• 1:52:07
  little bit of power, then it becomes
• 1:52:08
  this like rampant issue because no one's
• 1:52:10
  like, "Hey, stop doing that thing."
• 1:52:13
  Right. Right. I guess the reason I'm
• 1:52:15
  interested in splitting the exact hairs
• 1:52:17
  on it is just because I'm like, "All
• 1:52:19
  right, so how do we [ __ ] stop these
• 1:52:22
  guys? How do we get people to realize
• 1:52:24
  that like uh Andrew Schultz is crapping
• 1:52:28
  out dog [ __ ] into the system? You know
• 1:52:29
  what I mean? Like how do we get people
• 1:52:30
  to figure that out? You know what I
• 1:52:32
  mean? I don't know. Well, I think it's
• 1:52:33
  kind of like the doctor versus antiaxers
• 1:52:36
  video. Like I don't think mo a lot of
• 1:52:39
  people care that like stuff that they
• 1:52:41
  consume or the guys who make it are like
• 1:52:44
  you know bad. And I think also you you
• 1:52:47
  put yourself into the dichotomy of like
• 1:52:49
  the shrieking lib once you do that. So
• 1:52:52
  it's like oh I'm going to do like and
• 1:52:54
  consume everything you don't like cuz
• 1:52:56
  you are you've put yourself on the lib
• 1:52:58
  polarity and I have to like just do
• 1:53:00
  whatever you don't like because that's
• 1:53:01
  the good stuff, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's
• 1:53:04
  like very hard to have like a spine I
• 1:53:06
  guess without seeming like a little
• 1:53:08
  teacher. So the best attitude is like
• 1:53:10
  just to ignore that stuff and not engage
• 1:53:13
  with it and like I think a lot with that
• 1:53:16
  is like centralization of power. So if
• 1:53:18
  you just like send your attention and
• 1:53:20
  stuff to somewhere else is like the best
• 1:53:23
  thing you can do.
• 1:53:27
  I don't know. I don't know. I I've kind
• 1:53:29
  of tried to go the little bit of the
• 1:53:30
  teacher route where I'm like yelling for
• 1:53:32
  30 minutes about how irony
• 1:53:34
  works. I mean, but I don't know if that
• 1:53:36
  I don't know if that's annoying though.
• 1:53:38
  You know what I mean? Yes. I think
• 1:53:39
  anyone who doesn't care to begin with is
• 1:53:41
  going to be like, "Wow, hell yeah. I'm
• 1:53:43
  never going to care." This solidifies
• 1:53:45
  it. I guess I guess my goal with it is
• 1:53:47
  like the people who do care, I then help
• 1:53:50
  update their ability to talk to their
• 1:53:52
  like brother or something, somebody
• 1:53:54
  whose mind they might be able to change.
• 1:53:56
  Exactly. Exactly. Like I'm trying to
• 1:53:57
  give I'm trying to I'm trying to be a
• 1:53:59
  weapons manufacturer in the culture war
• 1:54:00
  for our side. You know what I mean?
• 1:54:05
  But I don't know if that's effective or
• 1:54:07
  if I'm wrong. Like if I just tell people
• 1:54:09
  I'm like if I'm like all right and like
• 1:54:11
  if I'm like those guys are being
• 1:54:13
  fascist. It's like they don't think like
• 1:54:16
  time to be Tim Dylan's not like time to
• 1:54:17
  be fascist today. You know what I mean?
• 1:54:19
  He's just like the I don't know. I think
• 1:54:22
  he might be a little he might be. Yeah.
• 1:54:25
  He honestly might be. Yeah, maybe. Some
• 1:54:27
  days he's like, I think I think I should
• 1:54:29
  be a little fascist. New fascist. I love
• 1:54:32
  his new kind of or maybe not new pattern
• 1:54:35
  where he just outright says like I don't
• 1:54:37
  even necessarily agree disagree with
• 1:54:39
  this this woman who's speaking. I just
• 1:54:42
  she's just pissing me off. Yeah, I think
• 1:54:44
  that's that's most of it is a big part
• 1:54:46
  of it is just the evolution of like
• 1:54:48
  drive time conservative radio where for
• 1:54:50
  sure there's a I don't know most of
• 1:54:53
  America, most of the world just kind of
• 1:54:54
  wants to to passively listen to people
• 1:54:57
  say reactionary and conservative things.
• 1:55:00
  Yeah. They don't really care if it's
• 1:55:01
  right or true. They just want to hear
• 1:55:03
  someone be like whatever. It's ASMR.
• 1:55:07
  Like this woman is annoying. I don't
• 1:55:08
  even disagree with this woman. She's
• 1:55:09
  being so annoying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I
• 1:55:12
  think it there's an element of it where
• 1:55:13
  it's like I just don't like being told
• 1:55:16
  what to do. I get told what to do all
• 1:55:18
  day. So, I want to listen to this person
• 1:55:20
  who's actively acting against that. And
• 1:55:22
  even if I maybe thought about it deeper,
• 1:55:24
  I wouldn't like it. But having people
• 1:55:26
  just like crap on it just triggers my
• 1:55:29
  shut up. The moment they feel like they
• 1:55:31
  are filtering or censoring, they feel
• 1:55:33
  like that is immediately bad or wrong.
• 1:55:36
  So, go the opposite route.
• 1:55:38
  Yeah. Even if you're like kind of
• 1:55:40
  denying your own values in a way, you're
• 1:55:43
  like, I'm just going to listen to
• 1:55:44
  whoever tells me that I don't have to
• 1:55:46
  listen to anyone, especially women. So,
• 1:55:49
  how do you listen to a really good rap
• 1:55:50
  song that's also very misogynistic and
• 1:55:52
  someone tries to be like and you're
• 1:55:54
  like, "Shut up." Yes. Totally. Like, I'm
• 1:55:57
  living out my fantasy of owning a trap
• 1:56:00
  house and like not listening to the law
• 1:56:02
  and like not going to my job. Like, I
• 1:56:04
  don't need you coming here and telling
• 1:56:06
  me that that's bad.
• 1:56:08
  Right. Yes. I mean, obviously like being
• 1:56:12
  a fascist is on like a different level
• 1:56:14
  and questioning other people's rights
• 1:56:15
  and stuff, but I think it's I think I
• 1:56:18
  guess if I was guilty of it, it would be
• 1:56:19
  in that capacity. Fascist hip-hop.
• 1:56:23
  Truly, they not they not like us. Deport
• 1:56:26
  them.
• 1:56:28
  They How we doing? Oh, we're at the
• 1:56:30

  fake podcast. Like it's not a real
