3:11
Speaker 4: Yay.
3:12
Speaker 2: Yay.
3:12
Speaker 4: I didn't know if I'd like it. I didn't know.
3:14
Speaker 4: I thought most comics were very, let's be honest, narcissistic.
3:22
Speaker 4: And we're into ourselves and our careers and everything like that.
3:25
Speaker 4: Don't have time to put someone else first. But I'm
3:28
Speaker 4: digging the hole when I come home. When I come home, yeah,
3:33
Speaker 4: let's watch Bluey.
3:34
Speaker 1: Great.
3:36
Speaker 4: We're going to do that. We're going to sit on
3:37
Speaker 4: the couch. I'm going to have a tea party. It's awesome.
3:40
Speaker 4: It's great. I love that part of it where I
3:43
Speaker 4: get to be the sort of pseudo-celebrity on the road,
3:46
Speaker 4: and then come home, and I am nothing. I'm just dad.
3:51
Speaker 4: It's great.
3:51
Speaker 1: Right before we started, you said that you have a
3:53
Speaker 1: nephew that now knows that you, his uncle, might be
3:57
Speaker 1: a little bit known. How old is he?
4:00
Speaker 4: He's nine, and apparently some parents at his school are
4:07
Speaker 4: letting their kids watch my stand-up, which... I don't advise.
4:11
Speaker 4: I'm not going to curse too much on this pod,
4:13
Speaker 4: but in my stand-up, not something that a nine-year-old should consume.
4:17
Speaker 4: I'm doing theaters now. You can get all my dates
4:20
Speaker 4: at bradwilliamscomedy.com. And theaters don't check IDs the way comedy
4:25
Speaker 4: clubs do. So there's a lot of parents that bring
4:27
Speaker 4: their 11-year-old and be like, yeah, this is my 11-year-old.
4:30
Speaker 4: He loves your stuff. And I'm like, he shouldn't. No,
4:35
Speaker 4: I'm talking about things that are probably morphing his brain.
4:39
Speaker 4: But some of the kids in his school showed him
4:42
Speaker 4: a clip and said, oh, look at this funny comedian.
4:45
Speaker 4: And he goes, that's Uncle Brad. And everyone's like looking
4:48
Speaker 4: at him like, Uncle Brad? What? And so now he
4:52
Speaker 4: FaceTimed me last night and I got a whole bunch
4:54
Speaker 4: of autographs that I got to do and photos. And

Speaker 4: I'm basically doing a cameo service for my nephew where

8:35
Speaker 4: Sometimes they're good. Sometimes I see a joke about me,
8:39
Speaker 4: and I'm like, all right, that one was actually solid.
8:42
Speaker 4: That's the thing. People ask me all the time, like, oh,
8:44
Speaker 4: do you like dwarf jokes? Do you hate dwarf jokes?
8:47
Speaker 4: And I go, well, I built a career on it,
8:49
Speaker 4: so I kind of like them. But I just don't
8:51
Speaker 4: like bad ones.
8:52
Speaker 2: Yeah.
8:53
Speaker 4: Like, if I post one more tweet and... Someone puts
8:58
Speaker 4: in the comments, uh, that joke came up short. You
9:01
Speaker 4: think you're the first guy to ever write that? Oh,
9:05
Speaker 4: I came up short. I had Method Man tell me
9:07
Speaker 4: one time I came up short. Cool your jets, all right?
9:10
Speaker 4: That's not an original joke. But if you come up
9:12
Speaker 4: with an original one that's like, holy crap, I've never
9:15
Speaker 4: heard that before, I'm all about it. Okay, a fan
9:19
Speaker 4: said this the other day. It's not really a joke
9:22
Speaker 4: about me, but I looked at it like, this is
9:24
Speaker 4: genius comedy. I always refer to tall people in my
9:27
Speaker 4: act as reachers. I call you guys reachers because, well,
9:32
Speaker 4: let's go to the supermarket. You'll find out. And you
9:35
Speaker 4: guys are reachers. And I had a fan. I have
9:39
Speaker 4: to be very careful when I say this word. You
9:42
Speaker 4: will understand in a second. He said, no, you should
9:44
Speaker 4: refer to tall people as biggers. With a B. Hard B.
9:51
Speaker 1: Biggers.
9:51
Speaker 4: And I was just like, that is so funny. Oh
9:54
Speaker 4: my god. Oh, all these biggers out there. Like that's,
9:57
Speaker 4: that's hilarious. So I'm actually going to take that one
10:00
Speaker 4: from a fan, but very rarely does that actually happen.
10:03
Speaker 1: What is the proper name?
10:04
Speaker 4: For tall people? Average size?
10:08
Speaker 1: I call them talls. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:09
Speaker 4: Reachers?
10:10
Speaker 1: Yes. No, like what do you prefer? Yeah, because I mean,
10:13
Speaker 1: it's like, is it little people?
10:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:16
Speaker 1: Is it dwarfs? What do you prefer?
10:17
Speaker 4: Dwarf or little person are the ones that, Won't get
10:20
Speaker 4: you in trouble. Midget's the one that gets everyone in trouble.
10:24
Speaker 4: Don't say that one. Me personally, I'm all about intent.
10:29
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this story. I was in Odessa, Texas,
10:33
Speaker 4: and I did a show. And during the show, there
10:35
Speaker 4: was a guy that had to be kicked out of
10:37
Speaker 4: the club. For being an asshole, being too drunk, or both?
10:40
Speaker 2: All.
10:41
Speaker 4: All of the above. And I'm sure you've gotten this.
10:44
Speaker 4: Sometimes you get people, they're yelling stuff out, and you
10:48
Speaker 4: slam them a couple of times. but then they keep
10:50
Speaker 4: going it's like okay dot we can't keep doing that.
10:53
Speaker 1: So yeah i think that you're running for everybody else exactly.
10:56
Speaker 4: So we had so we had to come out show
10:59
Speaker 4: goes great at the end of the show i'm walking
11:01
Speaker 4: with the opening act uh... to our to our car
11:04
Speaker 4: and we see uh... uh... headlights turn on from the
11:07
Speaker 4: parking lot and speak up truck pickup truck starts racing
11:11
Speaker 4: across my parking lot a guy leans out the window
11:15
Speaker 4: and yells out kills a dwarf So at that point,
11:21
Speaker 4: I didn't stop and be like, well, thank you for
11:23
Speaker 4: using the correct terminology. It wasn't the dwarf I had
11:27
Speaker 4: a problem with. It was more the kill the that
11:31
Speaker 4: I had slight issues with. So thankfully, we hopped in
11:34
Speaker 4: the car, and my buddy who was driving, who was
11:37
Speaker 4: the opening act, he knows the trick of, like, you
11:41
Speaker 4: go into, like, a dirt kind of field, and you
11:43
Speaker 4: do some donuts, and then it kicks up a bunch
11:45
Speaker 4: of dust. And then you can't see, so then you
11:47
Speaker 4: just drive off then.
11:48
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Yeah.
11:50
Speaker 4: Very, very Dukes of Hazzard. I grew up in Orange County.
11:56
Speaker 4: I did not know he grew up. In Waco, Texas,
11:59
Speaker 4: this is a trick that apparently they learned there.
12:01
Speaker 1: And that you have to learn, apparently. That's kind of scary.
12:05
Speaker 4: And my opening act that I was with that night
12:08
Speaker 4: is black, so he was just like, oh, wow, someone's
12:11
Speaker 4: chasing after someone. Not me. This is great. Like, I can't, like,
12:17
Speaker 4: if the car had caught us, the guy would have
12:20
Speaker 4: been like, yeah, we're not here for the black guy.
12:22
Speaker 4: We're here for the dwarf, which is like, oh, he
12:24
Speaker 4: would have been so relieved.
12:26
Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.

13:01
Speaker 4: Life is one long lesson of chaos.
13:04
Speaker 1: I'm heading to the Emmys, and I have police complaints
13:07
Speaker 1: filed against me.
13:07
Speaker 4: When your free will was about to be taken from you,
13:10
Speaker 4: what would you do if it was given back?
13:12
Speaker 2: Where did that need come from where you thought that
13:15
Speaker 2: you had to succeed in order to feel loved?
13:17
Speaker 4: He said, I have a work dad. I need a

13:21
Speaker 4: started crying.

Speaker 2: Everybody in life encounters hardships. What defines them is not
13:27

13:39
Speaker 2: stories are different, but the impact is the same. Only
13:43
Speaker 2: one question matters. What happens next?
13:53
Speaker 1: Okay, so you grew up in Orange County.
13:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, Orange County, California.
13:56
Speaker 1: Tell me a little bit about your life, siblings. What's
13:58
Speaker 1: your story there?
14:00
Speaker 4: First of all, only dwarf in the family. So when
14:03
Speaker 4: people be like, oh, so you're father and mother? No,
14:06
Speaker 4: you don't drive down a street in Fullerton where we're
14:08
Speaker 4: from and say, where did Brad grow up? Oh, it's
14:11
Speaker 4: the mushroom with the door in it. Like, that's not
14:14
Speaker 4: the case. Dad.
14:16
Speaker 1: So there wasn't... So did she know before she gave birth?
14:20
Speaker 2: Yes.
14:21
Speaker 4: Okay.
14:22
Speaker 2: Yes.
14:22
Speaker 4: But fun fact.
14:24
Speaker 1: Yeah.
14:25
Speaker 4: Our doctor did not tell my mom that I was
14:28
Speaker 4: going to be a little person. They knew. But they didn't...
14:31
Speaker 4: The doctors knew.
14:31
Speaker 2: Yeah.
14:32
Speaker 4: Doctors knew, but didn't tell her for a while. Because
14:35
Speaker 4: a doctor, a strict practicing Catholic, thought that if he
14:39
Speaker 4: told her that your son's going to be a dwarf,
14:41
Speaker 4: that she would.
14:43
Speaker 1: And the pregnancy.
14:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it, and so he didn't want that to happen.
14:48
Speaker 4: So he waited a little, a little beyond, so it
14:51
Speaker 4: was like third trimester, but they knew before. Fun fact, medicine.
14:56
Speaker 1: And so, and how did they tell her? Oh, yeah, yeah.
14:59
Speaker 1: And how was it, what was their reaction? Where are
15:01
Speaker 1: you in the family? What child?
15:03
Speaker 4: I'm the baby. We're the Cleavers. It's mom, dad, sister, brother,
15:10
Speaker 4: and dog. Like, that was growing up. That's what it was.
15:13
Speaker 4: And I was the baby in the family. And so
15:16
Speaker 4: they told her, yeah, your son's going to be a
15:18
Speaker 4: little person. And my dad, awesome dude that he was,
15:22
Speaker 4: he started going to these meetings that are LPA meetings,
15:26
Speaker 4: Little People of America. And he would just sit in
15:28
Speaker 4: the back and he would listen. And he would listen
15:30
Speaker 4: to all the little people gripe.
15:33
Speaker 1: While his wife is pregnant.
15:34
Speaker 4: Yes. And just like, okay. And then one day he
15:39
Speaker 4: stood up. in a meeting and he said, hey guys,
15:41
Speaker 4: I've been coming to a few of these meetings. You
15:43
Speaker 4: guys are just really angry. You guys are just very mad.
15:47
Speaker 4: And I'm about to be a father of a little person.
15:50
Speaker 4: Is there anything good? Is there anything good? Or is
15:53
Speaker 4: this just all suck? Is there anything good that's happening?
15:56
Speaker 4: And one dwarf came to my dad and said, yeah,
16:00
Speaker 4: everybody remembers you. Everybody remembers you. Everybody knows your name.
16:04
Speaker 4: And now it's kind of interesting that I'm, in a
16:09
Speaker 4: stand-up comedian because when people see me, no one just goes, oh, yeah,
16:14
Speaker 4: that guy, the white guy, you know, he has the... No,
16:19
Speaker 4: everyone just goes, oh, yeah, the midget comic. And everyone
16:21
Speaker 4: knows who you're talking about. And I'm fine with that.
16:24
Speaker 4: I'm totally fine with that. So it sort of came
16:27
Speaker 4: full circle that way.
16:28
Speaker 1: And so how old were your siblings were you when
16:30
Speaker 1: you were born?
16:32
Speaker 4: Pretty much Irish twins with my sister.
16:33
Speaker 2: So.
16:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, she, I remember they came home and they were like, hey,
16:40
Speaker 4: you know, her name's Katie. And they're like, hey, Katie,
16:42
Speaker 4: this is your baby brother. And then the story goes
16:45
Speaker 4: that she burst into tears and was like, put him back.
16:50
Speaker 4: It was like very angry. But now me and my
16:52
Speaker 4: sister have a wonderful, great relationship. It's her son, the nephew,
16:56
Speaker 4: that has now figured out that I'm popular. So it's great.
17:00
Speaker 1: And how was it growing up?
17:04
Speaker 4: Awesome.
17:04
Speaker 1: In Orange County.
17:06
Speaker 4: Wonderful. I'm not this guy that comes on and goes, oh,
17:09
Speaker 4: I grew up such a hard life. It's like, nah,
17:11
Speaker 4: it was pretty good. Orange County was good. I will
17:15
Speaker 4: tell you the thing that made it good is my
17:17
Speaker 4: dad realized that as a little person, when I go
17:21
Speaker 4: to school, I'm probably going to get picked on a
17:23
Speaker 4: little bit. I'm going to get bullied. So what my
17:26
Speaker 4: dad did is he would bully me first, but in
17:29
Speaker 4: a very supportive way. He would make fun of me
17:32
Speaker 4: and then tell me, okay. hit me back with something.
17:35
Speaker 4: Hit me back. Oh, wow. So I would like, we
17:38
Speaker 4: would actually write jokes, write comebacks together.
17:41
Speaker 1: As if you were like in elementary school. That is awesome.
17:43
Speaker 4: Yeah, so then when I got to school and a
17:46
Speaker 4: kid made fun of me, I was like, oh, I've
17:48
Speaker 4: trained for this moment. I'm good. So now I would
17:52
Speaker 4: have comebacks and I would say them to the kids
17:55
Speaker 4: and then a couple times I got sent to the
17:57
Speaker 4: principal's office for having the better joke.
17:59
Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
18:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's kind of like, Now when a heckler
18:04
Speaker 4: yells something out, I'm like, I'm fine. You don't think
18:09
Speaker 4: I've heard lucky charms before? Come on, dude. Come with it.
18:14
Speaker 4: Come strong to the hoop. So I'm fine in those scenarios.
18:19
Speaker 1: So when did you realize that I have a knack
18:23
Speaker 1: for performing and writing and comedy?
18:25
Speaker 4: Very young. Very young, because I was always doing... plays
18:31
Speaker 4: and I was always doing like high school as an
18:34
Speaker 4: improv comedy like I don't know exactly the moment but
18:38
Speaker 4: another thing my dad taught me is so my.
18:42
Speaker 1: Dad What did your dad do for a living?
18:43
Speaker 4: Lawyer and successful one and so I'm good I didn't
18:48
Speaker 4: grow up like we didn't grow up wanting we're fine
18:52
Speaker 4: so my dad always told me that whenever he was
18:57
Speaker 4: giving his depositions and arguing and stuff He would insert
19:01
Speaker 4: jokes because it really lightened the tension, made him more memorable,
19:05
Speaker 4: and made him appear in a more favorable light. And
19:09
Speaker 4: so he kind of taught me. He's like, hey, when
19:10
Speaker 4: you meet someone, joke. Really fast. Joke. So then they
19:14
Speaker 4: know that you're comfortable and you're fine. And I was like, oh,
19:17
Speaker 4: that's good. And, man, does that work.
19:20
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:20
Speaker 4: Because if I meet someone and they don't know who
19:23
Speaker 4: I am or I'm a comedian or whatever, I could
19:26
Speaker 4: tell sometimes people are nervous because they're like– how do
19:29
Speaker 4: I bring up the elephant in the room? Is he
19:31
Speaker 4: cool with it? Are we allowed to like, so I
19:34
Speaker 4: will constantly like, I'll break the ice with a joke,
19:37
Speaker 4: just a quick thing. And then they'll understand like, oh,
19:41
Speaker 4: he's fine. Like when I started doing comedy, I would
19:45
Speaker 4: do dwarf jokes almost, immediately because when I would go
19:49
Speaker 4: on stage and not do dwarf jokes, the audience would
19:51
Speaker 4: sit there kind of very uncomfortable, just kind of look
19:54
Speaker 4: around like, does he know? And I'm like, yeah, I'm aware.
19:58
Speaker 4: So now I come out, I make a joke real fast.
20:02
Speaker 4: They know I'm cool with it. They know it's okay
20:04
Speaker 4: to laugh. Now we can move on to other topics.
20:07
Speaker 1: How old were you the first time that you got
20:10
Speaker 1: up on stage and decided, I want to try to
20:12
Speaker 1: do stand-up?
20:13
Speaker 4: 19. I was 19. I'm 39 now. I'm entering my
20:17
Speaker 4: 20th year in stand-up comedy, which, wow, that sounds weird.
20:19
Speaker 1: And what was your first experience?
20:21
Speaker 4: Ooh, first experience was a good one. First experience, I
20:24
Speaker 4: was in the audience at the Brea Improv. There was
20:27
Speaker 4: a comedian on stage, and he started making midget jokes,
20:31
Speaker 4: did not know I was there. And half the audience
20:34
Speaker 4: is laughing. And the audience that is sitting by me
20:37
Speaker 4: is like, her, her, like not laughing. Yes, yes. And
20:42
Speaker 4: as you know, if half the audience is laughing, you know, okay,
20:46
Speaker 4: what's happening over here? So the comedian looks over and goes,
20:50
Speaker 4: what's happening? Like, you guys are laughing. And he actually says, what,
20:53
Speaker 4: is one of them here? And I just went, yep.
20:57
Speaker 4: Raised my creep little hand in the air. And he
21:00
Speaker 4: called me up on stage. And he started asking me questions.
21:04
Speaker 4: He didn't make fun of me, but he was just
21:05
Speaker 4: asking me questions. I answered the questions honestly. Was not
21:09
Speaker 4: trying to be funny at all. Do you remember some
21:13
Speaker 4: of the questions? Yeah. He said, what do you do
21:15
Speaker 4: for a living? And at the time, grew up in
21:17
Speaker 4: Orange County. I worked at Disneyland. So I said, I
21:22
Speaker 4: work at Disneyland. And the audience laughed. And then I
21:25
Speaker 4: turned to the audience and went, shut up. I'm not
21:27
Speaker 4: one of the seven. And that made him laugh harder.
21:29
Speaker 4: And I was like, ooh, that felt good. That felt
21:32
Speaker 4: real good.
21:33
Speaker 1: Yeah.
21:33
Speaker 4: So then after that, after that experience, making the audience laugh.
21:38
Speaker 1: Who were you with that night?
21:39
Speaker 4: I was with my dad.
21:41
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Yeah. And had you gone to, had
21:43
Speaker 1: you grown up watching a lot of comedy or going
21:45
Speaker 1: to comedy clubs?
21:46
Speaker 5: Yeah.
21:47
Speaker 4: Not going to comedy clubs, but just watching a ton
21:49
Speaker 4: of comedy.
21:49
Speaker 3: Yeah.
21:49
Speaker 4: My dad introduced me to, like, Jonathan Winters and Robin
21:53
Speaker 4: Williams and the Smothers Brothers and, like, I was aware
21:58
Speaker 4: and like Eddie Murphy Raw, I watched Eddie Murphy Raw
22:01
Speaker 4: when I was like 15. So did I.
22:03
Speaker 3: Never.
22:03
Speaker 4: Laughed so hard.
22:05
Speaker 1: I mean, I went to the movie theater.
22:07
Speaker 4: You went to the movie theater to see it?
22:08
Speaker 1: I'm older than you, so I went to the movie
22:10
Speaker 1: theater to see it. Oh, wow. And I remember just
22:13
Speaker 1: being like, I mean, I definitely snuck in.
22:15
Speaker 4: How was that theater? Was it just like rolling?
22:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just remember thinking this is the funniest. Is
22:21
Speaker 1: the raw one the one where you got an ice
22:24
Speaker 1: cream and then... Or is that the one before it? No,
22:26
Speaker 1: that's delirious. Delirious.
22:29
Speaker 4: Delirious is that one.
22:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, the delirious was the ice cream one, which is
22:32
Speaker 1: this joke that he had about.
22:33
Speaker 4: The red suit.
22:34
Speaker 1: Yes, and then... That's delirious.
22:36
Speaker 4: Raw is the purple suit where he talks about McDonald's
22:39
Speaker 4: in the end.
22:40
Speaker 1: Yes, and... That one was more sexual, I think.
22:43
Speaker 2: Yes.
22:43
Speaker 1: A little more dirty.
22:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, some of those jokes won't fly today.
22:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
22:49
Speaker 4: Some of the jokes about the gay guy on top
22:52
Speaker 4: of the cop car. Not gonna fly. He doesn't say
22:55
Speaker 4: the word gay.
22:56
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah. Now I'm remembering. Okay, so you have that
23:01
Speaker 1: first amazing moment. Yeah. And you start to go, okay,
23:04
Speaker 1: this feels good. Yeah. Now, at 19, you're working at Disneyland.
23:07
Speaker 1: Are you a full-time employee? No. Are you going to
23:10
Speaker 1: go to school, or what are you doing?
23:11
Speaker 4: I was going to school at USC.
23:12
Speaker 1: Oh, you were? That's where I went.
23:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, fight on. You're a Trojan.
23:17
Speaker 1: I'm a Trojan.
23:17
Speaker 4: Didn't know that about you. All right, now we got
23:20
Speaker 4: this kinship. Yes. Did you graduate? I did not.
23:23
Speaker 1: Yes, I did.
23:24
Speaker 4: Okay, good for you. Congratulations. I was going to school,
23:27
Speaker 4: and then when that, moment happened, I was like, I'm
23:31
Speaker 4: going to try standup.
23:33
Speaker 1: And did you really have to quit school?
23:36
Speaker 4: Yes. I, uh, so at that point, um, I did
23:43
Speaker 4: comedy and school for about a year and a half.
23:46
Speaker 4: And then I got an opportunity to go on tour as, uh,
23:50
Speaker 4: Carlos Mencia's opening act.
23:52
Speaker 1: Wow, only after a year and a half.
23:54
Speaker 2: Yeah.
23:54
Speaker 1: That is awesome. So how did that come about? Did
23:56
Speaker 1: he just see you?
23:58
Speaker 4: He was the guy on stage where the full first
24:01
Speaker 4: moment happened.
24:02
Speaker 1: That is so cute.
24:03
Speaker 4: Yeah.
24:03
Speaker 1: That is so sweet. I love that.
24:05
Speaker 4: And then he saw me about a year and a
24:07
Speaker 4: half later.
24:08
Speaker 1: And he was like, holy shit, you actually have chops.
24:10
Speaker 4: Yeah, he saw me at the Ontario Improv about a
24:13
Speaker 4: year and a half later. And he goes, hey, I
24:17
Speaker 4: remember you. And I go, yeah, I started doing comedy.
24:20
Speaker 4: And he goes, you started doing comedy?
24:21
Speaker 1: And this.
24:22
Speaker 4: This is during the meet and greet of the early show.
24:25
Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
24:26
Speaker 4: And he goes, do you want to do a guest
24:28
Speaker 4: spot in the late show? Just from there. And I
24:31
Speaker 4: was like.
24:32
Speaker 1: You were just there to see him.
24:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was there to see him.
24:34
Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome.
24:34
Speaker 4: And I go, okay. And I go on stage. I
24:37
Speaker 4: do like three, five minutes, whatever it is. And then
24:41
Speaker 4: got off stage. And he goes, holy crap. I put
24:46
Speaker 4: you on stage because you're a midget. That's kind of funny.
24:49
Speaker 4: But you actually had jokes. He goes, what are you
24:51
Speaker 4: doing next week? And he was playing the Fox Theater
24:54
Speaker 4: in Bakersfield, which I'm playing in February.
24:57
Speaker 2: Oh, awesome.
24:57
Speaker 4: So it's all coming full circle. But yeah, and then
25:01
Speaker 4: after that, I just started going on the road with him.
25:02
Speaker 4: So he had just gotten Mind of Mincy at that
25:05
Speaker 4: time and was doing a big national tour. And he
25:10
Speaker 4: wanted me to be the opening act. So that's when
25:12
Speaker 4: I came to my parents and I was like.
25:13
Speaker 1: Hey, you know that? Because you were going to be
25:15
Speaker 1: gone for a while.
25:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to be gone.
25:17
Speaker 1: And how was that, being on tour so young and
25:21
Speaker 1: playing these big venues? Massive crowds.
25:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was amazing. It was a trial by fire,
25:26
Speaker 4: for sure. And he's had awesome comics open for him,
25:31
Speaker 4: like Cristela Alonso, Steve Trevino, Joe Coy. Like, all these comics. Like,
25:36
Speaker 4: Joe Coy is... Yeah. selling out stadiums now.
25:39
Speaker 1: So he really knows. He has a real eye for comic,
25:42
Speaker 1: and he really helps support his opening acts, which is
25:44
Speaker 1: really cool.
25:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was a trip I loved, but I
25:50
Speaker 4: also got just introduced to the road lifestyle and what
25:53
Speaker 4: it is, and I don't know if this happens to you.
25:57
Speaker 4: People always ask me, like, oh, so when's this tour done?
26:00
Speaker 4: And I go, when I'm dead. That's when I'm off tour.
26:04
Speaker 4: If people ever come to my house and see my suitcase,
26:06
Speaker 4: they're like, Oh, are you just coming back or are
26:09
Speaker 4: you just heading out? And I go, yes. To both.
26:13
Speaker 4: Because I'm always doing stuff. Now this next door coming up.
26:16
Speaker 1: It's huge. You have so many dates. Yeah.
26:19
Speaker 4: Literally 70 cities. And that's just until July. And now
26:25
Speaker 4: we just announced some more dates. We're going to announce
26:28
Speaker 4: some more dates.
26:29
Speaker 1: And now what's the deal? When your agent calls you,
26:32
Speaker 1: do you turn anything down?
26:34
Speaker 4: It sounds like you don't. It's hard to. I come
26:37
Speaker 4: from a point where when you were the opening act
26:40
Speaker 4: or when you were starting off, it was like, I
26:43
Speaker 4: didn't know. I was working one night. I didn't know
26:46
Speaker 4: when the next night was that I was going to work.
26:48
Speaker 4: So you just, you said yes. You say yes to everything.
26:51
Speaker 4: And then it's really hard for me now to turn
26:55
Speaker 4: down work because I still have that mentality. And especially like,
26:59
Speaker 4: I remember driving from LA to San Jose and, to
27:04
Speaker 4: do the San Jose Improv, to do a middle spot
27:07
Speaker 4: for a different comic, I made like $ 400 for two shows,
27:12
Speaker 4: and then I drove back that night because the club
27:14
Speaker 4: didn't get me a hotel. So that's six hours up,
27:16
Speaker 4: two shows, pound a Red Bull, six hours back, $ 400,
27:22
Speaker 4: $ 100 was on gas. So I remember that. Right, of course.
27:26
Speaker 4: So when I'm coming from that, and then they say, hey,
27:30
Speaker 4: they want you to play the whatever theater, they wanted
27:34
Speaker 4: to play Terre Haute, Indiana. And I say, okay, I've
27:37
Speaker 4: never heard of that. But they tell me the amount
27:39
Speaker 4: of money. I go, cool, we're doing it. And then
27:42
Speaker 4: thankfully Terre Haute showed up and they sold out the
27:45
Speaker 4: first show. So we got a second show there. Awesome.
27:48
Speaker 4: 70 cities. We're going to announce more countries.
27:53
Speaker 1: Oh, you're doing other countries?
27:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to go to Australia. Have you ever
27:57
Speaker 4: been there? Yes, I've done comedy there, but I'm going back.
28:01
Speaker 4: And we're going to do England and we're going to
28:03
Speaker 4: do a tour of the UK. So, yeah, all going
28:06
Speaker 4: to be next year. So I really love my wife
28:09
Speaker 4: and kid. I would like to see them in the
28:10
Speaker 4: year 2025. So see me on this tour. 2025, I'm
28:14
Speaker 4: not going to be going out that much.
28:17
Speaker 1: That's the plan. Yeah.
28:18
Speaker 4: So I'm going to be home more because I'm really
28:21
Speaker 4: a big fan of my wife and kid. I'd like
28:23
Speaker 4: to see them more.
28:23
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:26
Speaker 1: Now, in your growth of becoming a stand-up and being
28:30
Speaker 1: so recognizable... Thank.
28:32
Speaker 4: You for saying growth as a dwarf. I never hear that.
28:35
Speaker 4: It's so nice. Getting the vapors.
28:38
Speaker 1: What are some TV things? I saw you did Reno 911.
28:43
Speaker 1: Have you been offered through the years when people like
28:47
Speaker 1: us were getting development deals? What's your sitcom and anything
28:51
Speaker 1: like that?
28:53
Speaker 4: Most of the stuff that I'm doing... I always really
28:56
Speaker 4: just focused on comedy. I got to do some amazing stuff.
28:59
Speaker 4: Got to do, yeah, the Reno 911, It's a Wonderful
29:03
Speaker 4: Heist Christmas movie. Got to do my absolute dream job.
29:07
Speaker 4: I don't know if a gig will ever be better
29:10
Speaker 4: than this. I got to work with Christopher Guest on
29:12
Speaker 4: a movie called Mascots, which is on Netflix. And I
29:16
Speaker 4: did a scene with Fred Willard.
29:18
Speaker 1: Oh, my God, how amazing.
29:19
Speaker 4: And he's just... If you're familiar with how Christopher Guest
29:24
Speaker 4: movies work, they are improvised movies. You have a basic
29:28
Speaker 4: outline of the scene. They say, all right, it starts here,
29:30
Speaker 4: it ends here.
29:31
Speaker 1: Same with 3-0-9-1-1. Same thing.
29:34
Speaker 4: Very similar. Same with Curb Your Enthusiasm. And that's how
29:38
Speaker 4: Christopher Guest works. And I was like, cool, I'm going
29:41
Speaker 4: to improvise a scene with Fred Willard. At the time,
29:42
Speaker 4: Fred may have been in his late 70s or early 80s.
29:46
Speaker 4: And I go, okay, so I got to carry this scene.
29:49
Speaker 4: I got to be like the energetic one because Fred's older. Nope.
29:53
Speaker 4: Fred was so over the top that if you watch
29:57
Speaker 4: the scene, I'm... I tone it way down, and I'm
30:00
Speaker 4: playing the straight man, because I'm like, oh, Fred's the
30:03
Speaker 4: crazy one. Because he's a damn genius. And shame on
30:08
Speaker 4: me for thinking I was going to steal the scene
30:10
Speaker 4: from Fred Willard. Not a chance in hell. Genius man,
30:15
Speaker 4: even nicer human.
30:17
Speaker 1: I met him at some stand-up charity thing, and he
30:19
Speaker 1: was so sweet.
30:21
Speaker 4: What a sweet man. So, yeah, that was the dream gig.
30:23
Speaker 4: There's a couple other acting gigs that have come and gone,
30:25
Speaker 4: but for the most part.
30:28
Speaker 4: And I especially learned this with the strike that just happened.
30:31
Speaker 4: I like being a comedian. I like being in charge
30:34
Speaker 4: of my own stuff. I feel like if you're funny,
30:37
Speaker 4: you'll always work. Will you work in the ways necessarily
30:39
Speaker 4: that you want to? We never get what we think
30:43
Speaker 4: we deserve, but you'll work. If you're really good, you'll work.
30:46
Speaker 4: I don't want to be determined on a casting director
30:50
Speaker 4: somewhere to be like, yeah, that's what we need. I
30:55
Speaker 4: just want to be able to control it. Now, I
30:57
Speaker 4: got a few things in development right now that are
30:59
Speaker 4: very exciting. If they go, great, wonderful. I'll be thrilled
31:03
Speaker 4: to work on them. If they don't, eh, I'll do stand-up.
31:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
31:08
Speaker 4: And that's what I love because you go on stage
31:11
Speaker 4: and you crack a joke and you get that immediate feedback.
31:14
Speaker 4: And then, you know, I do a meet and greet
31:16
Speaker 4: after the show. I'll even do the meet and greets
31:18
Speaker 4: for the theaters. It'll take a while, but I'll do it. And,
31:22
Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard for me not to want to,
31:25
Speaker 4: Say hi to these people at the end of the show.
31:27
Speaker 4: They're paying my mortgage. Yeah. So thank you, everyone, for
31:30
Speaker 4: coming out to the shows.
31:31
Speaker 1: And what's like the most heartwarming or type of thing
31:35
Speaker 1: that happens when someone comes up to you after that you,
31:38
Speaker 1: how you've touched their life or their children's life?
31:41
Speaker 4: This one.
31:42
Speaker 2: Okay.
31:44
Speaker 4: I might get emotional even telling the story, but I'll
31:46
Speaker 4: try not to. There's a guy who came up to
31:49
Speaker 4: me and he handed me some military patches and And
31:55
Speaker 4: some pins and a coin. He was a man. He
31:59
Speaker 4: was with two sons. And he said, here. And I go, oh,
32:03
Speaker 4: what are these? He goes, oh, well, these are my patches.
32:06
Speaker 4: This is my metal. This is my book. And I'm like, whoa,
32:08
Speaker 4: that's your stuff. Like, you earned that. Take it. Take
32:12
Speaker 4: it back, please. Thank you. But take it back. That's
32:14
Speaker 4: your stuff. I didn't serve. That'd be really bad of
32:19
Speaker 4: all dwarf army. And I say, so please take it back.
32:24
Speaker 4: And he goes, no, you don't understand. These are my sons.
32:28
Speaker 4: If I don't find your comedy, they don't have a
32:32
Speaker 4: dad right now. He goes, I was on the brink.
32:35
Speaker 4: I was about to end it all. I literally was
32:39
Speaker 4: sitting in my room with a loaded weapon, and I
32:43
Speaker 4: was about to end it. And randomly, your stuff came
32:47
Speaker 4: on Pandora, and I laughed. And that was the first
32:51
Speaker 4: time I laughed in forever. And I put the gun down,
32:55
Speaker 4: and I kept listening to you, and I kept laughing.
32:58
Speaker 4: And that's when I thought, yeah, I can keep going.
33:02
Speaker 4: And he's telling me this in a line, and I'm
33:04
Speaker 4: just like, ha!
33:06
Speaker 1: I have chills all throughout my body. That is so amazing.
33:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've heard stuff like that. That's when someone comes
33:17
Speaker 4: up to you and says stuff like that. There was...
33:21
Speaker 4: I did the Montreal Comedy Festival, and there was a
33:26
Speaker 4: little person there who came up to me in the hotel,
33:30
Speaker 4: and he's like, Brad Williams, and he comes up to me,
33:33
Speaker 4: and he says, dude, I just gotta say, thank you
33:36
Speaker 4: so much. Like, I started doing comedy because I saw
33:40
Speaker 4: you do comedy, and I heard it, and I started
33:41
Speaker 4: doing comedy. I was like, that's awesome. And he goes, yeah,
33:44
Speaker 4: and this year is my first year at the Montreal
33:46
Speaker 4: Comedy Festival. And I was like, oh... Like, he got
33:51
Speaker 4: accepted into the festival. And he started doing comedy from
33:55
Speaker 4: watching me do comedy. It's like, that's when you, that's
34:00
Speaker 4: when things really, that's when it puts in perspective. Like, oh,
34:04
Speaker 4: I'm just doing this.
34:05
Speaker 1: Because it's just like anything else.
34:07
Speaker 4: It's a job.
34:07
Speaker 1: Seeing an image of yourself on TV or in a
34:12
Speaker 1: profession that you didn't normally see. an image of yourself
34:15
Speaker 1: doing it's a really important and it makes you go
34:18
Speaker 1: oh well that person looks like me and they're they're
34:22
Speaker 1: a doctor or that person is you know a comedian
34:26
Speaker 1: or acting or so i why shouldn't i be able
34:29
Speaker 1: to do it now.
34:29
Speaker 4: Exactly yeah and and i that those are the things
34:33
Speaker 4: that really get me when i go oh it's not
34:35
Speaker 4: just me on stage every night telling jokes now when
34:38
Speaker 4: i think back to my heroes growing up, you know,
34:41
Speaker 4: you're Robin Williams is your Jonathan winners. You're John Elway
34:44
Speaker 4: is still in sports reference. Uh, uh, like I, the
34:48
Speaker 4: way I looked at them now, someone can be looking
34:52
Speaker 4: at me that way. And that's a, that's a lot
34:54
Speaker 4: of pressure, a lot of responsibility, but then also a
34:57
Speaker 4: great motivator because you don't want to let them down.
35:00
Speaker 4: So you just keep going.
35:01
Speaker 1: I remember being like 10 and watching Eddie Murphy on
35:04
Speaker 1: like a call-in show. And he was already, you know,
35:09
Speaker 1: somewhat famous but young. So it was like on SNL
35:12
Speaker 1: or whatever. And somebody called in. It was a woman.
35:15
Speaker 1: And she's like, I just want to say, I always
35:17
Speaker 1: said if I ever had a chance to talk to you,
35:19
Speaker 1: I would. And she goes, a couple years ago was
35:21
Speaker 1: the worst day of my life. My son had died
35:24
Speaker 1: that day. And I said, I will never, ever laugh again.
35:26
Speaker 1: I turned on the TV and you were doing Gumby.
35:29
Speaker 1: His character of Gumby.
35:30
Speaker 4: SNL, yeah.
35:31
Speaker 1: And I just remember being very young, being like, I
35:34
Speaker 1: don't know, it just really hit me. Like, I can remember, like, yesterday, me, like,
35:37
Speaker 1: if you can have a gift or a career or
35:41
Speaker 1: something that can make someone laugh on the worst day
35:46
Speaker 1: of their life where they said, I'm going to either
35:48
Speaker 1: end my life or never want to laugh again.
35:50
Speaker 4: Yeah.
35:51
Speaker 1: That is, when people say, why do you do it? I, like,
35:53
Speaker 1: literally decided, because I knew I was, like, funny young. Yeah.
35:57
Speaker 1: I didn't know how would people would say like my,
36:00
Speaker 1: my teacher in high school was like, I don't know
36:02
Speaker 1: why you're going to USC. You should be a standup.
36:04
Speaker 1: And I was like, I know I imitate all these
36:06
Speaker 1: teachers and stuff. I didn't understand how strangers would find
36:09
Speaker 1: me funny.
36:10
Speaker 4: Right.
36:10
Speaker 1: I didn't get that. There's a process of setting up
36:13
Speaker 1: a joke and explaining a little bit.
36:15
Speaker 4: Of course not.
36:15
Speaker 1: And then, um, and so I, And then when I
36:18
Speaker 1: was in college, like I was like, oh my God,
36:20
Speaker 1: like everyone would come down and want to hear like
36:22
Speaker 1: the recap of the night in the sorority house. They'd
36:24
Speaker 1: be like, did we miss, you know, breakfast with Heather?
36:26
Speaker 1: And I remember going, how can I make this a career?
36:29
Speaker 4: Yeah.
36:30
Speaker 1: I just want to recap a night.
36:32
Speaker 4: And then look at this. Figured it out. You figured
36:36
Speaker 4: out how to make this a career.
36:38
Speaker 1: Might take a minute, but it did work out.
36:41
Speaker 4: That's so great. And now we're living in such a
36:43
Speaker 4: wonderful time where for anyone listening to this going, well,
36:46
Speaker 4: I have this, I have this weird skill that nobody
36:51
Speaker 4: really knows about. How do I make money on it?
36:53
Speaker 4: You can. I'm on chiropractic TikTok all the time.
36:57
Speaker 1: I love it. Wait, do you love chiropractic TikTok?
36:59
Speaker 4: Love chiropractic TikTok.
37:00
Speaker 1: Wait, do you go to TikTok? My favorite is the
37:02
Speaker 1: cot OC chiropractor. I went to him. Have you been
37:04
Speaker 1: to him? Yeah.
37:05
Speaker 4: I haven't been to him yet, but I've seen him.
37:07
Speaker 4: He's cute, too.
37:08
Speaker 1: I know.
37:08
Speaker 4: Damn cheekbones.
37:09
Speaker 1: But you know what? I kind of have a thing
37:11
Speaker 1: where I'm like, I literally watch it and I feel
37:15
Speaker 1: like it relaxes me. I think it could be psychological. Yes.
37:18
Speaker 4: Same. The exact same. I watch chiropractic TikTok videos of
37:22
Speaker 4: just people getting their backs cracked. And I've talked to
37:24
Speaker 4: my chiropractor. Yeah, I go to a chiropractor about it.
37:28
Speaker 4: And he goes, you know, they fake the cracking noises.
37:31
Speaker 4: And I go, I don't care. I'm a fan of
37:34
Speaker 4: pro wrestling.
37:35
Speaker 2: Okay? It's fine.
37:36
Speaker 4: I used to get so off on.
37:37
Speaker 1: And also if like my sons... Yeah. You know, because
37:40
Speaker 1: some people just have a more crackle back. Like if
37:41
Speaker 1: my son is like.
37:44
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh my God, thank God you let
37:45
Speaker 1: me hear that. And I even used to, you know
37:47
Speaker 1: when like the bubble pops that come and stuff? I
37:50
Speaker 1: used to just go like, I'd do it myself. I'd
37:53
Speaker 1: act like just, it's such a weird thing.
37:55
Speaker 4: It's a weird relief.
37:56
Speaker 1: And I remember I asked Dr. Drew, I go, could
37:59
Speaker 1: I be addicted to like back cracking and hearing back cracking?
38:02
Speaker 1: And he's like, would you leave your family for it?
38:04
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I guess no. Because no, it's not
38:07
Speaker 1: an addiction. Okay. So I'm like, okay, it's not.
38:09
Speaker 4: It's something that makes you feel good.
38:11
Speaker 1: But it is a little weird. But I'm glad I'm
38:13
Speaker 1: not the only one.
38:14
Speaker 4: It's a little weird. But thankfully, the thing that makes
38:18
Speaker 4: you feel some relief isn't anything that's damaging to other people.
38:22
Speaker 4: So it's fine. It's not self-destructive. No one ever.
38:28
Speaker 1: But do you like cracking other people?
38:30
Speaker 4: I don't. But I like being cracked.
38:33
Speaker 1: I like watching it. I like both.
38:35
Speaker 4: So you crack other people.
38:37
Speaker 1: I'm a versatile.
38:38
Speaker 4: Okay.
38:39
Speaker 1: Okay. I like to crack and be cracked. And I
38:42
Speaker 1: used to like, I'd crack my kids' backs too.
38:45
Speaker 4: Really?
38:46
Speaker 1: And then I just.
38:46
Speaker 4: Do you think we're like, you pick them up?
38:48
Speaker 1: No, I lay them down and I just go like that.
38:50
Speaker 2: Okay.
38:50
Speaker 1: I do the breathing thing and I lay them down.
38:52
Speaker 2: Okay.
38:52
Speaker 1: And then, you know, and then I was like, is
38:55
Speaker 1: this like a little weird? Because I remember like one
38:57
Speaker 1: time I said, it's like, I don't want to do
38:59
Speaker 1: that weird thing we do anymore.
39:00
Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh gosh.
39:01
Speaker 1: Oh no. This sounds really creepy.
39:03
Speaker 4: Great. He's going to be in therapy in 10 years
39:05
Speaker 4: being like, then my mom told me to lay down
39:07
Speaker 4: and crack my back. Like he's going to need physical
39:11
Speaker 4: therapy or a chiropractor.
39:12
Speaker 1: Because like a little kid, crackable back is like pretty great.
39:17
Speaker 4: They'll snap back.
39:19
Speaker 1: They'll find.
39:20
Speaker 4: They're going to be okay.
39:22
Speaker 1: It's amazing, yeah.
39:26
Speaker 4: It's so funny the things that you find relief in.
39:28
Speaker 5: Yeah.
39:30
Speaker 4: My wife watches a lot of those. I describe it
39:35
Speaker 4: as ASMR baking. Like, it's like, yeah, like, and you hear, like,
39:42
Speaker 4: every noise of the pan going in and the thing crying.
39:45
Speaker 4: That's like, yeah, it's calming. Yeah, she watches that, and
39:48
Speaker 4: that cools her down. Meanwhile, I'm over here like, yeah,
39:51
Speaker 4: break his neck. And once someone explained to me, because
39:55
Speaker 4: the first time I got my back cracked and someone,
39:57
Speaker 4: you know, they did the neck thing, and I'm like,
39:59
Speaker 4: I died, right?
40:00
Speaker 1: Like, I died?
40:01
Speaker 4: Yeah. My head popped off? And they're like, no, it's
40:03
Speaker 4: literally impossible to. do the thing that you see in
40:06
Speaker 4: the movies like it cannot happen like the amount of
40:09
Speaker 4: force that has to and they did the whole thing
40:11
Speaker 4: I'm like okay I'm good now like once someone explained
40:14
Speaker 4: to me that you know all the Chuck Norris movies
40:17
Speaker 4: I've watched where he just goes hurt and like breaks
40:20
Speaker 4: a neck he goes that's not real I go great

40:44
Speaker 4: radio show that lasted about three months. I tried to
40:48
Speaker 4: do morning radio for about three months. This is like, okay,
40:50

Speaker 4: there was an audience, they would have laughed too. It
41:37
Speaker 4: was not for me.
41:38
Speaker 1: Oh my God.
41:39
Speaker 4: God bless the morning radio people. I love morning radio guys.
41:43
Speaker 1: Now you don't have to do that. I kind of
41:45
Speaker 1: feel like that was one good thing I've talked about
41:47
Speaker 1: with this comedians that, that kind of died with COVID
41:51
Speaker 1: was not having to do the morning radio really anymore.
41:54
Speaker 1: Like we used to have to do.
41:56
Speaker 4: There, there are still a few guys and girls out
41:58
Speaker 4: there that even if I'm sold out, like It's worth it.
42:01
Speaker 4: I still go in. I could go through them. The
42:06
Speaker 4: DVE show in Pittsburgh, Lewis and Kathy, the guys from Philly.
42:14
Speaker 4: Darn it, I don't know their names. But yeah, there's
42:16
Speaker 4: a bunch of radio shows that no matter what, I
42:20
Speaker 4: will still go in. They're a blast. But yeah, so
42:24
Speaker 4: I was doing morning radio. I didn't like it. But
42:28
Speaker 4: we had a bit on the air where we were
42:30
Speaker 4: talking about me meeting people because I didn't know anyone
42:32
Speaker 4: in San Francisco. So I would go on dating apps
42:36
Speaker 4: to meet people just as friends. Just to be like, hey,
42:39
Speaker 4: I'm new in this city. I want to make a friend.
42:41
Speaker 4: Now there's literally an option on Tinder where you can
42:43
Speaker 4: be like, no, this is not sexual. I just want
42:46
Speaker 4: to meet a friend. Now there's like, yeah, a friend
42:49
Speaker 4: of mine goes on Bumble all the time and just
42:51
Speaker 4: goes on friend dates.
42:52
Speaker 1: I think that's so important.
42:53
Speaker 4: It's wonderful.
42:53
Speaker 1: I think it's so great. It's so great.
42:55
Speaker 4: But then I was doing it. You know, old school style.
42:59
Speaker 4: But then a listener called in and suggested an app
43:02
Speaker 4: called Field. F-E-E-L-D. And I looked it up. And this
43:08
Speaker 4: is for, all right, get ready, listeners. This is for
43:12
Speaker 4: people that are trying to have threesomes.
43:15
Speaker 1: Okay.
43:15
Speaker 4: And multiple partners.
43:17
Speaker 1: All right.
43:17
Speaker 4: That's the sound of some of your listeners signing off
43:20
Speaker 4: and going to download the app. But, yes, this is
43:23
Speaker 4: a real app. I went on there. I matched with
43:25
Speaker 4: two women. We're all going to go out together. One
43:27
Speaker 4: of the women, last minute, didn't show up. I'm imagining
43:31
Speaker 4: because she looked at my profile and was like, oh,
43:34
Speaker 4: his whole body fits in the default photo. No. I'm good.
43:38
Speaker 4: And she didn't show up. But I messaged the other
43:41
Speaker 4: woman and said, all right, we lost one. Do you
43:43
Speaker 4: want to still go out? And she said yes. And
43:45
Speaker 4: two years to the day of that date, I proposed
43:47
Speaker 4: to that woman.
43:48
Speaker 1: Do you guys do threesomes?
43:50
Speaker 4: We have. Oh. Back in the day. With the kid,
43:53
Speaker 4: it's very difficult.
43:54
Speaker 2: Yeah.
43:55
Speaker 4: You're not really in the mood after you've been cleaning
43:58
Speaker 4: up shit all day. So not really feeling sexy that
44:02
Speaker 4: you want to invite someone else in. But we used to.
44:04
Speaker 4: And it was a lot of fun. It was great.
44:07
Speaker 4: It was all like, you know, both of us had
44:10
Speaker 4: to be really on board. There were times when, of course,
44:13
Speaker 4: I was on board and she was like, not tonight.
44:15
Speaker 4: I'm like, cool, fine. And obviously, finding a partner, that's
44:19
Speaker 4: a whole other deal.
44:21
Speaker 1: How would you find the partners?
44:24
Speaker 4: Sometimes they would be at shows, at bars, just wherever.
44:28
Speaker 1: Would you talk about it on stage? Would people know that, like...
44:31
Speaker 1: I have. Would you hint, kind of, to put the
44:33
Speaker 1: feelers out?
44:34
Speaker 4: It's kind of cheesy to do that. Why?
44:37
Speaker 1: Why not just kill two birds with one stone?
44:39
Speaker 4: I did at some point. I feel bad saying that,
44:41
Speaker 4: but I did. But the thing is, is like... I'm
44:45
Speaker 4: a firm believer in whatever your kink is, your weird
44:49
Speaker 4: thing is. If it doesn't hurt anybody, if everyone involved
44:52
Speaker 4: is a consenting adult, great.
44:55
Speaker 1: Yeah.
44:56
Speaker 4: Let your freak flag fly. There's some weird stuff on Pornhub, Heather.
44:59
Speaker 1: Okay?
45:00
Speaker 4: There's some weird stuff.
45:01
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know. I've never been on in my life.
45:02
Speaker 4: Sure.
45:03
Speaker 1: No, I really haven't.
45:04
Speaker 4: Really?
45:04
Speaker 1: I really haven't.
45:06
Speaker 4: Never.
45:07
Speaker 1: Never. I don't even know how to get on. Never.
45:09
Speaker 4: You know how to get on.
45:11
Speaker 1: No, I don't. What are you, just Google porn? I
45:13
Speaker 1: literally don't know.
45:14
Speaker 4: Google tits stuff comes up.
45:17
Speaker 1: No.
45:17
Speaker 4: Google, well, like, do you have.
45:19
Speaker 1: A- Like, the only porn that I've ever really watched was, like,
45:24
Speaker 1: really in the beginning of our marriage, we had Cinemax,
45:28
Speaker 1: and I loved that.
45:29
Speaker 4: Oh, Cinemax. That's, like, softcore.
45:31
Speaker 1: I know. I liked that.
45:32
Speaker 4: Okay.
45:32
Speaker 1: We used to just, like, we would be, like, oh,
45:34
Speaker 1: I think this was filmed in your house, you know,
45:37
Speaker 1: because we, like, live in the Valley.
45:39
Speaker 4: Probably was.
45:39
Speaker 1: And I'd be like, no, that's Northridge.
45:41
Speaker 4: I know where that is in Northridge.
45:42
Speaker 1: Probably was. And, yeah, but now not.
45:45
Speaker 4: No, you don't have to expose it, but, like, do
45:48
Speaker 4: you have a kink, or are you pretty just like.
45:51
Speaker 1: Besides the backcrack kink?
45:52
Speaker 4: Oh, the backcrack kink.
45:54
Speaker 1: Okay. No, but, like, I mean, I.
45:56
Speaker 4: Just missionary with eye contact, you're fine.
45:59
Speaker 1: No, but I think threesomes, I would never do a threesome,
46:02
Speaker 1: but I think a threesome is a pretty... Not freaky.
46:06
Speaker 1: In this world, I don't think it's like that. I
46:09
Speaker 1: don't think it's that shocking. It seems like a lot
46:11
Speaker 1: of people, myself, know, but a lot of people have partaked.
46:15
Speaker 1: Whether it's a one-time, it seems like most people I know,
46:19
Speaker 1: if it's happened, it's Vegas.
46:22
Speaker 4: Smalls, a lot of Vegas. Yeah, we went to Vegas.
46:25
Speaker 4: That was every one of them.
46:26
Speaker 1: My friends are like, Any front I know that had
46:28
Speaker 1: a threesome, it always was in Vegas. Yeah. Because always,
46:30
Speaker 1: let's do it in Vegas.
46:32
Speaker 4: And if you're a couple out there and you're thinking
46:34
Speaker 4: about it, I will give you this tip.
46:36
Speaker 1: What are the tips?
46:37
Speaker 3: Rules.
46:38
Speaker 4: Set the rules in advance. Set the rules of what
46:41
Speaker 4: you're comfortable with because there's.
46:44
Speaker 1: So the rules could be what? That you can... Like
46:47
Speaker 1: some people are like, okay, you can't penetrate the girl
46:53
Speaker 1: but you can penetrate me and I... But the girl can...
46:57
Speaker 1: do something with you and i can do something with
46:58
Speaker 1: a girl but you can't so that is that a
47:00
Speaker 1: common rule.
47:02
Speaker 4: That's a common rule so find out.
47:04
Speaker 1: And then other people are like i don't care you
47:06
Speaker 1: can screw the girl it doesn't matter yes but you
47:08
Speaker 1: have to know that up front because then it's.
47:09
Speaker 4: Like discuss that yeah and also when when you discuss
47:14
Speaker 4: that let's say your uh... your uh... partner says yeah
47:19
Speaker 4: you do whatever you want with the with the other
47:21
Speaker 4: person uh... if you do and then that partner doesn't
47:26
Speaker 4: feel comfortable, like they thought they were going to be
47:28
Speaker 4: comfortable but then they're not comfortable, have a safe word
47:31
Speaker 4: or something that you can say that wins like, whoa,
47:34
Speaker 4: thought I was going to be good, not good, stop. Like,
47:37
Speaker 4: we have to have that. Okay. Because then it's not
47:42
Speaker 4: fun anymore. If one partner is just harboring these ill
47:46
Speaker 4: feelings while you're having fun, not good, not good, not, not,
47:51
Speaker 4: not going to be fun. So, The advice I would
47:54
Speaker 4: always put out is just constant communication with your partner.
47:56
Speaker 4: Make sure everyone is on the same page. Also, be
48:00
Speaker 4: on the same page for what happens afterward. Is this
48:03
Speaker 4: a person that, all right, you are not allowed to
48:07
Speaker 4: talk to this person anymore? Can you talk to this
48:09
Speaker 4: person anymore? Are they a friend? Are they just a random?
48:11
Speaker 4: Do they stay a random?
48:13
Speaker 1: And what is your suggestion? I would think it should
48:16
Speaker 1: always be randoms and it should always be a one
48:18
Speaker 1: and done.
48:19
Speaker 4: For the most part, that's safe. That's pretty safe.
48:23
Speaker 1: Yeah. Because God forbid someone starts hitting it off with
48:28
Speaker 1: the person, whether it's the girls start hitting it off
48:31
Speaker 1: or you start hitting it, then the jealousy.
48:33
Speaker 2: Yes.
48:34
Speaker 4: And, oh, also as a man, I will say this
48:39
Speaker 4: to the men that might be involved in one of those,
48:43
Speaker 4: if it's like a male and two female thing, it's
48:48
Speaker 4: not about you. Maybe it's your birthday and they make
48:51
Speaker 4: it about you, but it's not about you. It's not
48:54
Speaker 4: going to be like the pornos you watch where the
48:56
Speaker 4: girls are fighting over it.
48:58
Speaker 1: Like they've never seen a penis.
48:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not going to be that. The girls are
49:02
Speaker 4: there mostly to have fun with each other. Enjoy that.
49:06
Speaker 4: Be happy that you're in the room.
49:09
Speaker 1: Would you ever do two guys and a girl?
49:12
Speaker 4: I have, not with my wife. I've never done that
49:14
Speaker 4: with her, and I don't think I could be I
49:17
Speaker 4: don't think I could do that with her but I've
49:20
Speaker 4: been in one of those situations that was interesting not
49:25
Speaker 4: a huge fan of those right not a fan it's
49:30
Speaker 4: I feel it's weird to be like having your fun
49:34
Speaker 4: and you look up and there's just a dude just
49:35
Speaker 4: staring at you.
49:36
Speaker 1: Like yeah was that a dude you.
49:37
Speaker 4: Knew no It was never a dude I knew.
49:43
Speaker 1: I feel like all of this was after Saturday night show.
49:47
Speaker 4: Yeah. There's been a lot of after shows. You did
49:49
Speaker 4: a Thursday.
49:49
Speaker 1: You did a two Friday. You did a two Saturday.
49:52
Speaker 4: And then some stuff happened.
49:54
Speaker 1: That Saturday.
49:55
Speaker 4: And then a couple. And what was the flight?
49:58
Speaker 1: Was it a flight later in the day on Sunday?
50:00
Speaker 4: Sunday, 6 a.m. So you guys got to get the
50:02
Speaker 4: hell out of here. That helps. When you have the
50:06
Speaker 4: flight to be like, Hey, I know it's afterward and
50:09
Speaker 4: it's 3 o'clock in the morning and you guys want
50:10
Speaker 4: to stay over, but I got to leave in an hour. So, deuces.
50:13
Speaker 4: Get out of here.
50:15
Speaker 1: I love your energy because that's like the last thing
50:17
Speaker 1: I want to do after five show weekend. Yeah. Is
50:20
Speaker 1: to have to be doing a choreographed routine. Like, nothing.
50:26
Speaker 1: I'm just like, please let me get in my room
50:28
Speaker 1: and take off these heels and these eyelashes and crawl
50:30
Speaker 1: into my bed and watch Dateline.
50:32
Speaker 4: Yes. And, okay, so I would say that for women,
50:39
Speaker 4: I absolutely get that. Because you just said two things
50:42
Speaker 4: that I never had to do. I never had to
50:44
Speaker 4: take off the heels.
50:46
Speaker 1: Or the lashes.
50:46
Speaker 4: I never had to take off the lashes.
50:48
Speaker 2: So.
50:49
Speaker 4: like get the face off. Like once, like once you
50:52
Speaker 4: add that step in a, like I just come in
50:54
Speaker 4: and I collapse on the bed and I'm good.
50:56
Speaker 2: Yeah.
50:56
Speaker 4: You know, so yes, once you add those steps, I
50:59
Speaker 4: could totally see why you're just like, no, I'm tired.
51:02
Speaker 4: I got more, like the show is done and then
51:04
Speaker 4: there's a whole process to get ready for bed. So
51:07
Speaker 4: I totally get it. Totally understand.
51:10
Speaker 1: Um, Okay, so I love it. So you have this special.
51:13
Speaker 2: Yep.
51:13
Speaker 1: Now, when you do a special, how many specials have
51:15
Speaker 1: you had?
51:16
Speaker 4: All right, I have two that were on Showtime, then
51:21
Speaker 4: were bought by Amazon Prime. You can still watch them there.
51:23
Speaker 4: They're called Fun Size and Daddy Issues. They're on Amazon Prime.
51:25
Speaker 4: Watch them. One on Netflix. That's called The Degenerates. That's
51:29
Speaker 4: a bunch of comics and X-rated stuff, and we all
51:32
Speaker 4: do about a half hour. So technically three specials. This
51:37
Speaker 4: will be my fourth.
51:38
Speaker 1: And once, like, you tape your special, are you one
51:42
Speaker 1: of those comics that are like, this is, I will
51:45
Speaker 1: never say this joke again for the rest of my life?
51:48
Speaker 4: If someone calls it out during a show, I'll do it.
51:51
Speaker 4: I'll do a jukebox.
51:52
Speaker 1: Like a bit, yeah.
51:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a bit I do about how I hate
51:57
Speaker 4: it when guys pee at the short urinal, because that's
52:00
Speaker 4: my urinal. Like, you don't think it's yours. It's mine.
52:04
Speaker 4: Back away from it.
52:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
52:05
Speaker 4: There's a bit I do about that that some people
52:07
Speaker 4: call out.
52:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
52:08
Speaker 4: I did a military joke about an experience I had
52:11
Speaker 4: on a Blackhawk helicopter where a guy had to throw
52:14
Speaker 4: me in. Dwarves don't like being tossed. Don't do that.
52:17
Speaker 4: But sometimes people call those jokes out.
52:20
Speaker 1: Yeah.
52:20
Speaker 4: And that's fine. I'll do the bit.
52:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
52:23
Speaker 4: If it makes you happy, great. There's a bunch of
52:25
Speaker 4: people in the audience that probably haven't heard the joke before. Yeah. Fine.
52:28
Speaker 4: But for the most part, like, so this special, it's

55:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just got one that blew my mind. Sometimes people,
55:43
Speaker 4: one person on my keychain right now is a keychain
55:49
Speaker 4: that someone made, and they saw a photo of me
55:51
Speaker 4: and my daughter on my Instagram and made it into
55:53
Speaker 4: a keychain.
55:53
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that. Yeah, I've had that. That's so sweet.
55:55
Speaker 4: Oh, it's the best. One person did a painting of
55:58
Speaker 4: my daughter, which was like, it's hanging in my house.
56:01
Speaker 4: So that's cool. Weirdest one. Uh, someone gave me a
56:07
Speaker 4: custom made shillelagh.
56:10
Speaker 1: What's that?
56:11
Speaker 4: It's like an, it's, it's like a musical thing. It's
56:14
Speaker 4: an Irish death hammer. Oh, it's a weapon, but like
56:18
Speaker 4: they made it for me. It looks like a walking stick,
56:20
Speaker 4: but it's got a huge knob. And then they put
56:22
Speaker 4: spikes on the, on the shaft of it. So now
56:27
Speaker 4: that's under my bed. So if you ever break into
56:29
Speaker 4: my house, you're going to have a dwarf swinging a
56:33
Speaker 4: shillelagh at you.
56:35
Speaker 1: I think that actually was a really good gift for you.
56:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, Irish Death Hammer, which by the way, if you're
56:41
Speaker 4: out there and you're starting a band, Irish Death Hammer.
56:44
Speaker 4: Great name. That is a great name for a band.
56:47
Speaker 4: Hope to see you at Coachella.
