- 0:19Speaker 2: Hello, sir. How are you doing? Hello, not so bad.
- 0:22Speaker 2: How are you doing this morning, John?
- 0:23Speaker 1: I am also fantastic. We are excited to have you
- 0:26Speaker 1: come to Sioux Falls. And a lot of the time
- 0:28Speaker 1: when we do our interviews, it's like, hey, they're going
- 0:30Speaker 1: to be here tomorrow. And we get to chat with
- 0:32Speaker 1: you a little bit ahead of time. The thing that's nice,
- 0:34Speaker 1: you're going to be here November 5th at Billy Frogs.
- 0:37Speaker 1: And the reason we're chatting right now is to let
- 0:39Speaker 1: folks know to kind of get it on the schedule
- 0:41Speaker 1: and plan to be there. And how long have you
- 0:43Speaker 1: been doing stand-up comedy? You've been doing this for a bit,
- 0:45Speaker 1: haven't you?
- 0:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I started doing open mics in 2017 here in Fargo,
- 0:51Speaker 2: where I live, and started getting some road gigs here
- 0:54Speaker 2: and there in 2019. Of course, there was a year
- 0:58Speaker 2: and a half lull there with a... doing road gigs
- 1:02Speaker 2: 2020 to 21, but I'll, I'll give a shout out
- 1:04Speaker 2: to South Dakota since you guys, uh, uh, didn't change
- 1:08Speaker 2: anything in terms of what was open during those two years.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I actually did get some road gigs in down in
- 1:14Speaker 2: the black Hills and pier and think even Aberdeen. So nice. Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:20Speaker 2: I've done a lot of comedy around South Dakota.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Have you been to Sioux Falls for comedy before, Kyle?
- 1:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I have. I think the last show I did
- 1:29Speaker 2: in Sioux Falls was attended by seven people.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Yeah, so hoping to get at least eight this time.
- 1:39Speaker 1: I am pretty sure we can guarantee at least eight. No, we,
- 1:42Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, we have been very, very fortunate.
- 1:44Speaker 1: We started doing the Billy Frogs comedy thing on Thursday nights.
- 1:48Speaker 1: It's a free comedy show folks. So if you're going,
- 1:51Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this. Hey, come out Thursday,
- 1:53Speaker 1: this Thursday, every Thursday. And the show starts at seven 30.
- 1:58Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that, that means a
- 1:59Speaker 1: lot to me. Cause you know, I have other people,
- 2:01Speaker 1: they'll say the show starts at seven 30 and then
- 2:04Speaker 1: it's like eight 15 and they still haven't started the show.
- 2:06Speaker 1: And I'm like, guys, That's rude for the people who
- 2:09Speaker 1: did show up on time. So, you know, we say 7.30.
- 2:11Speaker 1: It might be 7.35 or something, but it's not going
- 2:14Speaker 1: to be, you know, super, super tardy. We'll be pretty
- 2:18Speaker 1: close to 7.30. And there's an hour of comedy. And
- 2:21Speaker 1: Kyle is going to do the majority of that on
- 2:23Speaker 1: his own. I'm so excited to see you. I've heard
- 2:25Speaker 1: such good things. And I know some folks that have
- 2:26Speaker 1: worked with you. So they were the ones that connected us.
- 2:29Speaker 1: And like I said, I'm excited to have you come
- 2:30Speaker 1: and join us. But the thing that's been cool, the
- 2:33Speaker 1: very first night of the comedy show at Billy Frogs.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Way back on February 5th, there were 87 people squished
- 2:43Speaker 1: into Billy Frogs. And for folks that have been there,
- 2:45Speaker 1: they're probably thinking, where the heck were they? Yeah, they
- 2:47Speaker 1: were everywhere. There were people everywhere. And now it's kind
- 2:51Speaker 1: of settled where usually it's closer to where we're supposed
- 2:54Speaker 1: to be, like 65 to 70 people. And in the
- 2:57Speaker 1: middle of the summer, it got down to, there were
- 2:59Speaker 1: times where, you know, it was maybe 30 people, but
- 3:01Speaker 1: still That was a great show, and the people that
- 3:04Speaker 1: were coming out were there specifically for that. So it's
- 3:07Speaker 1: been a lot of fun. I'm glad they continued doing
- 3:09Speaker 1: it through the summer. We had talked about, do we
- 3:10Speaker 1: do this? Do we not do this? Now here we are,
- 3:13Speaker 1: working our way through October, coming soon, November 5th, Kyle
- 3:17Speaker 1: Huber will be here joining us, and And I think
- 3:19Speaker 1: you're going to have a good crowd. So I'm almost
- 3:22Speaker 1: positive we're going to beat your seven people you had
- 3:23Speaker 1: last time.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Yeah, even 30 in the summertime, that's not bad. You know,
- 3:27Speaker 2: it's just this area of the country. It's only nice
- 3:30Speaker 2: out four months out of the year. We don't want
- 3:32Speaker 2: to be inside. So that's about normal. Yeah.
- 3:36Speaker 1: So we're excited to, again, as it gets cooler, we've
- 3:39Speaker 1: got these shows we're doing. every Thursday, and typically we
- 3:43Speaker 1: do a Friday show. We're not doing a Friday show
- 3:45Speaker 1: the week you're here, and it's nothing to do with you.
- 3:47Speaker 1: There's a band that's in that same place where we
- 3:49Speaker 1: usually do our comedy, so we get to take that
- 3:51Speaker 1: particular Friday off, but we'll have you back to be
- 3:54Speaker 1: at that other facility sometime as well, and we're excited
- 3:56Speaker 1: to work with you on November 5th at Billy Frogs,
- 3:59Speaker 1: and I appreciate you saying yes when we reach down.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Yeah, what bands are the night after me? Anybody I know,
- 4:04Speaker 2: like Spin Doctors or something?
- 4:06Speaker 1: I don't think it's that. I don't know. It's a
- 4:09Speaker 1: group that reached out a long time ago. They're traveling
- 4:11Speaker 1: through the area, and they booked this before we started
- 4:14Speaker 1: doing Friday night comedy shows. So I don't know who
- 4:18Speaker 1: the band is. I just know they said, hey, we
- 4:19Speaker 1: have this one to work around and this one. There
- 4:21Speaker 1: were two Fridays in 2026 that we didn't get to
- 4:25Speaker 1: do comedy, and that Friday was one of them. The
- 4:28Speaker 1: other one, I don't remember when that was. If I
- 4:31Speaker 1: look back, oh, here's what I looked. It was August 28th.
- 4:34Speaker 1: That was the other Friday that we didn't get to
- 4:35Speaker 1: do a show. But other than that, a Friday show,
- 4:39Speaker 1: a show every Friday at a place called the Grain Bin.
- 4:41Speaker 1: It's the back room of the Red Eye. So folks,
- 4:43Speaker 1: if you're looking for something to do this Thursday, come
- 4:45Speaker 1: out to Billy Frogs. This Friday, come out to join
- 4:49Speaker 1: us at the Grain Bin or the back room of
- 4:51Speaker 1: the Red Eye. And of course, put it on your
- 4:53Speaker 1: calendar to see Kyle when he's in town. You know,
- 4:56Speaker 1: it'd be really cool. if those seven people who saw
- 4:59Speaker 1: you last time would all show up as well and
- 5:00Speaker 1: have like a little Kyle Huber reunion with you.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. It would be fantastic. I might even remember
- 5:08Speaker 2: their names. I don't know. I have to look at
- 5:10Speaker 2: my show.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you taking the time to chat. I
- 5:14Speaker 1: am excited to see you and nice to visit now,
- 5:16Speaker 1: but I'm excited to meet you in person in November.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Yeah. Appreciate it, John. And I'll also be in the Wayne,
- 5:22Speaker 2: Nebraska that Saturday and Sioux city that Saturday for the,
- 5:27Speaker 2: surrounding listening areas. So a few chances to catch me. Oh,
- 5:30Speaker 2: and Norfolk the night before the show in Sioux Falls.
