  Speaker 1: Sioux Falls on Friday night. Mike Baldwin, We're excited to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: have you back in Seoue Falls. Thanks for chatting with us.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Man Well, hello to Falldah.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Absolutely Thursday night at Billy Frogs Friday night at the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Grain Band. You get out and do a lot of shows.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I follow you on social media. How many shows do
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you do a year?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Oh? I wouldn't even begin to know, anywhere between one
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: per weekend and seven per weekend, just depending on the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: venue and what town I'm in and all of that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Of what is that fifty two shows per year plus
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: a few more.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I know it's a lot because I follow you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: on social media, and you were always somewhere doing something and.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: In your travels you get to go out.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And go to some fun bars, but you get to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: meet some interesting and funny people along the way, don't you.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean those two words are not always good necessarily,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: but yes, I meet. I've been sober from alcohol for
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a little over eleven years now, and there's nothing that
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: helps me want to stay sober more than just seeing
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: a drunken idiot stumbling around at a comedy show. Oh no,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I hope that there will be plenty of those to
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: keep my alcohol free streak going.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll probably have a few of those, because people
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: here like to have a good time. And I'll tell
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you what, I love watching your video, and I know
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not the only one. You've got a bunch of
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: videos with a bunch of views on social media. And
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: when you first started posting these videos of you kind
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: of doing some jokes but also doing some crowd work
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: responding to the audience, did you have any idea you'd
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: have so many people watching each and every one of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: your videos.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Mike, Well, I mean that's always the hope, you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: is that every video is going to get one hundred
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: million views or something, you know. But no, I definitely
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I've had a few big bumps along the way. I'm
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: at about forty five thousand followers on Facebook now, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I would say about thirty five thousand of those came
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: from one or two videos the same on TikTok. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: have seventy six thousand followers on TikTok, and I think
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I got seventy five thousand of them from like the
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: third video that I ever posted.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: That is awesome.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So, Mike, what was that magic video that did so
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: well for you well on TikTok.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: It was in I want to say, like October of
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty. I was one of the few that was
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: questioning the entire fauci COVID stuff, and I figured what
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the heck, and I threw that video up and the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: next morning it had half a million views and I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: had fifty thousand new followers. So I think that's what
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: people wanted at the time. And it's kind of neat
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: to go back now and watch that because it turns
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: out I wasn't very wrong about most of it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: It's vindication for Mike Baldwin. We love it.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But definitely, I've been to one of the places
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that I'm doing this weekend.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you were at Billy Frogs and I think
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it might have been in March of this year, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: people loved you and they wanted you back. So you're
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: coming back this Thursday.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: What were the little steak bite saying, That's what I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: looking forward to the most.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Chislick.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, chislick is a thing that we do in South Dakota,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and you're definitely going to have to get some chislick
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: while you're here, and.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I definitely will. I can't wait. I hope that a
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: bunch of people hear this and rush to their phones
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: or computers or whatever and get tickets or however you
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: got to do it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And here's the cool thing. The show at Billy Frogs.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We do that every Thursday. That show is free, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: then we've got this new room on Friday night. The
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: same company that owns Billy Frogs owns this other bar.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: And you're gonna love this other room. It's just a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: really really neat feel to the room. And officially you
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: can buy tickets for that show, but I've been giving
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: away a bunch of tickets because I just want people
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to get in the room. So if there's somebody listening
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and going, hey, I don't want to buy a ticket,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: call and talk to me. I'll hook you up with
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a free ticket. I just want you to be there,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and I want you to see Mike. That's why I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: have people going. So you're having a guy in town
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: on Thursday for a free show, and then you want
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: me to buy a ticket on Friday, I'm like, no,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I want you to get to that room on Friday.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a free ticket there too. Originally I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: wanted to open the new room in September, but they
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: wanted to open it in July, which is a weird
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: time to start doing. That's like the weirdest time of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the year when you're competing with fairs and festivals and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: everybody's cousin's wedding. But the room is it's coming along
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: really well. It looks amazing, and I want people to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: be in the room on Friday for two reasons. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: want them to see Mike Baldwin because this guy is hilarious.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: But I also want them in there because I got
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to get some really good photos of this room looking full.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: We've had people at all of these shows but I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: want to have a nice, big full room this Friday
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: with Mike Baldwin so I can use those photos for
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: marketing purposes for this fall when people are coming out
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: looking for stuff to do. Yeah, and I think that
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the best show for people to get and get in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and see would be a Mike Baldwin show, don't you think.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I've always said.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I agree, and I encourage people to come out.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot of folks already that have signed
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: up and I'm putting them on my OLVIP list. So folks,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: if you want tickets, you could go and buy tickets,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and I'm okay with that too. But if you just
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: reach out to me, I'll put you down for a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: table so you can bring three friends. There's room for
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: four people at each table. I just want the room full.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And here's I had a guy say, well, if you're
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: taking photos, you're probably just looking for good looking people, right.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, with the lighting, we'll put you in
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the back, in the shadow, so it'll be okay.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: If you are good looking, then then you get extra points.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so then we'll put your table right up front.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: There's a point system here, so dress nice and maybe
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you'll earn some points there.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You go, well, I am excited to have you back
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: in town. Thank you for saying yes when I reach
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: out and ask you to come and do these silly things.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And again, we're so excited to have you in Sioux
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Falls once again. For people who have not yet had
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a chance to follow you on social media, what do
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I look for on Facebook? What do I look for
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: on TikTok? To make sure I'm following the right Mike
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Baldwin account.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: You can go to mike isfunny dot com and I
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: have links to my Facebook, my Instagram, my TikTok, my Twitter, YouTube,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: whatever else there is. I've got links to everything on there.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I've got a few videos embedded on the website, so
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you can watch some of that. I would say, don't
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: watch too many of my videos because I might say
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: some of those same jokes when you come and see me.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And it's actually it's a coin toss situation there, because
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: some jokes will be better if you know the joke already,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and other jokes are better if you're surprised you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: So just do whatever you want to do. But yeah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: come and see us, and you're gonna do a few
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: minutes of comedy as well.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'm going to do a little bit to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: open both shows, and I officially I have just you
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: on the poster because I didn't want people not coming
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to the show because my face is on there, so
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I just have Mike Balder listed. But I'm going to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: do a few minutes before Mike at both Billy Frogs
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and at the Green Bin. And I'm excited to have
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you here again. It's gonna be a whole lot of
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: fun to work with you once again. And I'm excited
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to see you on Thursday and on Friday. And I'm
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: excited for you to see this new room. You're gonna
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: love it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Mike.
