• 0:22
  Speaker 1: of all, Greg, thanks for taking the time to chat.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: How are you doing, man?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Likewise. Thanks for having me.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I'm great. I'm excited to work with you tonight. I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: get to be the emcee on the show, and we've
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: got Mike Glazer, who is very, very funny, coming back
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to Sioux Falls. We also have another gentleman who will
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: be here. Papa West is his name. I've seen him
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a few times. Very, very funny guy. And I've not
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: had a chance to see you. Have you been to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Sioux Falls in the past, Greg?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: No, no, can't say that I have.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: So tonight is the night. It's going to be your
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: first time here. But you've been doing comedy for a while.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: How long have you been doing this?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm like a fetus in comedy years. Probably like,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm only like five or six years in.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Well, it's five or six more than some people, though.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And what was it that first got you interested in
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: getting on the stage and bearing your soul to all
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: these strangers and telling about the silly things you've done?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've always just been a ham. But I
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: think I was initially really into law. I think that's
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: pretty common across the board for comics. I was really
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: into law. And then at some point, I just clicked
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: that I was more interested in ladies and gentlemen of
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the jury than I was in actually being an attorney.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you wanted to be an attorney at one point.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: That's kind of cool. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that is the case for most comics.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if I have met anyone else
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that was like, I was planning to be an attorney,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I ended up being a comic. But I bet there's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a couple others out there at least.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. I think across my peers, there's
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: a few of us that went that route.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: That's very cool. Well, I'm glad that you ended up
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: doing what you're doing, and I'm excited to see you
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in Sioux Falls tonight. over the course of the last
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: five years that you've been doing this, do you have
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: any fun, interesting things you've had a chance to do
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that you just kind of pinch yourself and go, did
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I really get to do that? Oh, yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Usually the one that comes to mind is I did
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: a show for a blind computer programmers convention in New York.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: That was awesome. They like bought out the whole room.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: That's pretty cool.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I got off the train. I'm walking in the venue
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and this guy was like, you gotta, you gotta get
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: here now. And I'm like, whoa. Then another guy was
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: on the show. And I'm like, what do you mean?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: What is he? He's like, they're all blind. I was like, okay,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: like that's funny. That is. And he's like, no, no, no. Canes, dogs,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: black sunglasses.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Huh.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And I got on, I didn't really know what to say,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: but I got on stage and I was like, guys,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: do you think that the name tags are a little
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: bit of a waste here? Cause Amazon is burning.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So let's, uh, That's awesome. Did they really have name tags?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: That is wild. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Not in Braille, just blue Sharpie.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: There you go. I'm going to stick this on you.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: It can say anything, literally. You have no idea what
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it says. So I think that is really kind of fun.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And again, I bet it was a fun time, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I'll bet they absolutely loved you. I mean, I love them.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I think that's the coolest part about this. You get
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: to see a ton of different people in a ton
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of different places, and I'm excited to add Sioux Falls
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to the list.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Well, there you go. Tonight is the night. And the poster,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: when they sent me this poster, is that like a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: high school photo of you and Mike? Because there's like
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a picture. I don't know if that was like made
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: up that way or Photoshopped that way, but it's absolutely adorable.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we shot it that way. We work with this
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: incredible photographer and creative, Andrew Levy. I'm Los Angeles. And yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that was kind of the vision we were going for.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Kind of a clash of worlds. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of like stepbrothers. Yeah. Well, I like it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It is very, very fun. And I'm excited to see
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you tonight for the very first time. And Mike, like
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I said, has been here before. He's already got a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: fan base here. There's some folks that love him here.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You're going to be walking into that a little bit.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And how would you describe your style of stand-up comedy?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: What would you say is the Greg Shep comedy styling?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know that I could do that quickly. But,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you know, just giving it a shot here. I mean,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I think that I like looking at bigger problems. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: bigger social issues. I really like understanding why people do
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: what they do and why they think what they think.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And I kind of take these bigger issues and I...
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: reduce them down in a cast iron to what's going
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: on with me. And I kind of use my perception
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of these kind of non sequitur issues in my life
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to explain kind of the bigger problems.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Well, there you go. I'm excited to see.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Kind of a roundabout way to do that.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to have you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So I get to be the MC for
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the show. And then, uh, like I said, there's a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: young man named, uh, Papa West and, and he is
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a super funny guy. Moved here from, like, Wyoming, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: think is where he said he moved from. So I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: had a chance to meet him, I don't know, a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: month ago, two months ago, and I've seen him at
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a few shows, and he's a funny, funny guy.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And like I said, I know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he's got some kids, but he's younger than me.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I think I'm older than all of you guys. Maybe
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: not all put together, but certainly individually, so... And I'm
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: excited to work with you tonight. I think it's going
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to be a whole lot of fun. Thank you for
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: taking a little bit of time to chat with me today,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and I will see you tonight, my friend.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Likewise. Looking forward to it.
• 5:27

• 5:29
