96 Chandler Cooper | Discombobulated with Bobby Jaycox
What happens when musical talent meets comedic genius? In this episode, we dive deep with multi-talented creator Chandler Cooper, whose unique blend of music, comedy, and authenticity has captivated audiences across social media platforms.
Chandler takes us through his fascinating journey from performing Stitch impressions as a child to developing his distinctive musical style. With remarkable candor, he shares the stories behind songs like "Looking for Sarah" and "Funny," revealing how personal experiences transform into art that resonates with thousands. There's something magical about how Chandler crafts lyrics with meticulous intention while maintaining an openness to collaboration that many artists lack.
The conversation explores the delicate balance between influence and originality, with Chandler noting how the most successful artists draw inspiration without becoming carbon copies of their heroes. "I want to be in a room where I'm the dumbest in the room at something," he explains, highlighting a refreshing humility that seems central to his creative philosophy. This approach has allowed him to develop a voice that's unmistakably his own, whether he's crafting emotional songs or creating character-driven comedy.
Beyond music, we weave through surprising territory – from camping out in freezing temperatures to meet Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul to the creative benefits of saying "yes" to unexpected opportunities. Chandler's recommendation of Matthew McConaughey's "Greenlights" underscores his philosophy of embracing life's journey with openness and authenticity.
If you've ever struggled to find your creative voice or wondered about the intersection of different artistic mediums, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical wisdom.

Like sometimes you smell someone's shit and you're like are you depressed? Like you'll just smell someone's shit and I'm like is everything all right?
Speaker 4:but like when I went in there I had to smell yours and I was like dude.

Speaker 3:shit is no boy Dude, I found out that the black shit means it's blood. Be right, is that real? That's what I heard. I like to drink pedialytes and electrolytes and stuff some talkies I'll eat. I'll eat the talkies and pedialytes. Yeah, I mean like I'm a fucking weird guy so I'll be like trying to recover from like a night.
Speaker 4:Does he want to get better or worse?
Speaker 3:I'm canceling it out, but yeah, I'll, uh, I'll eat it and my poop will just be green.
Speaker 4:I'll get scared, oh I haven't had green shit in a while.
Speaker 3:Yeah, dude you gotta start eating some like fruit roll-ups or some shit yeah, I know I don't.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I don't know. I usually when I look at my shit, I'm not worried about the color, I'm worried about like, how, like separated it all is like. Sometimes I'm just like I do.
Speaker 3:I love when I take a shit and I turn around and it looks like it just looks like the ninja turtles are going back home you ever, you ever take, you ever take, you ever take a shit and you look at it in the toilet and you're like, oh my god, I checked every box. There's liquid shit, there's like constipated shit and there's like turds, but there's also the ones that are like fibrous.
Speaker 4:It's like dude, this doesn't matter. And there was that thing too where you had like all the kind of farts with it too where you're like you felt, better you felt worse yeah, dude, sometimes my parts just I yeah, yeah, I like uh, do you, you and your girlfriend fart in front of each other?
Speaker 3:I think, dude, I'll tell you fucking one crazier. Yes, so she was talking to me about something. I've actually told this story before online, but this is a real story and people don't believe me. So I like to do this thing where I will uh, reach in my pants and kind of this, where the hole is spread my cheeks so it doesn't make a single fart sound, because I have a lot of yes, and it does that like yeah, I do that because I'm under the blankets, tucked in under the blanket I just sat down from peeing and I was like I kind of have to fart.
Speaker 3:So I did that I like spread my hand and a little turd hit my hand while she was talking about yeah, I shit in my hand while she was like talking to me just a little turd, like a little rabbit turd, and I get up and I go I have to pee. And she goes oh, you just peed and I was like I have to pee. So I get up and I run to the bathroom turd in hand turd in hand.
Speaker 4:I'm holding that turd you're holding the turd and she's holding the turd.
Speaker 3:Oh my god, I throw it away, flush and I'm scrubbing the fuck out of my hands. My, oh, my god, that human shit on my hands, my own shit, like I know what I eat. I'm a weird fucker and uh oh, but I can cuss on here yeah yeah for sure, fuck, fuck fuck.
Speaker 3:So, anyways, I get back in, I get back into the uh, the bed, and, uh, I look at her and she's like you, okay. I was like, yeah, it's fine. So she continues her story and I stop her. I go, I have to stop you, sarah. She goes up and I go I didn't have to pee, I lied and she's like, oh what?
Speaker 4:and I go I cheated on you. I had to go in there and cheat on you it was better than. I shit in my hand, I shit in my hand.
Speaker 3:Yeah. And I just had to go toss it in the toilet.
Speaker 4:That's awesome.
Speaker 3:That was the hardest, I think I've ever seen her laugh, did you?
Speaker 4:feel kind of crazy that you like threw it in the toilet, but then also part of you is putting it in the sink, that you're just kind of like getting it in like that Cause, like was it solid it was a little solid one, thank god so and like it was just like, yeah, and when you washed your hands, like did you?
Speaker 4:I still I feel like I don't even know if I'd ever be able to like touch her with that hand. Like I feel like because she knows about it, because it's like we all rip through and we're just like it's just between us just between us, no one knows. And then, my finger in hand too.
Speaker 3:Get ready for a fucking uti.
Speaker 4:You want bacterial vaginosis but yeah, and was she. That's how you know if they're cool, if they're like, they can handle it. Because, like I wouldn't date a girl if I, if she couldn't fart in front of me, or I couldn't fart in front of me and my ex if, whenever we were going to work, if one of us was shitting, we would like you'd be like I'm coming in and like I'd hold my breath and like, give her a kiss or vice versa, and then we would leave. Oh see I've.
Speaker 3:I would not walk in the bathroom while someone's shitting. Even you're, even, sarah.
Speaker 4:No, we don't do that I've I've always such a cool barrier to cross because it kind of feels like. It just feels like like you're, like we thought we knew what love was, but now we're like this is like a deeper side of it. I think we're both poop shy really yeah which is crazy.
Speaker 4:You seem, you seem poop confident. I did not. You actually did. That was actually the most nervous I did see you. I thought you're doing a bit, but I was like because you? I was like I tried to give you nugs and your hands were wet. So, instead of being weird, you go and you wiped all of my hands. So I'm like you're silly, I go, I'm gonna go take a piss and you're like no, please, really don't like.
Speaker 5:You were sincerely upset that I was gonna go smell your shit and of it like recycled and took the particles.
Speaker 4:Yeah, dude, that is that is actually. Uh. I'm just so glad that we're still recording because I was like dude, I would like this would be the worst dude we were. Honestly, I feel like most of the podcast could and this is how it is all the time but like outside us talking about we were talking about sarah, we were talking about you guys making music, we were talking about you and everything you do and we were just laughing so hard. And I've known you accumulatively now, like honestly, like since we've been talking not me on stage or since here's like probably we've been talking for like two hours and I do this and I feel like people do this a lot. We're like dude, I feel like we're best friends but, yeah, usually you're the one doing the talking. They're like I like you, yeah, but this is fun because we go back and forth and I'm like asking you, I'm like are you fucking with me?
Speaker 2:And you're like no.
Speaker 4:I'm like dude me neither. Like yeah so yeah, If you smell girls BO and you like it, apparently you're like not related and I think if you can smell, if you can smell another man's shit, you know that that's fucking hilarious.
Speaker 3:You never heard that.
Speaker 4:No, I know the Because if it stinks, it's like you might be my sister, my cousin or something.
Speaker 3:Hey, this smells like my cousin's shit. Yes, and I know what that smells like.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's like your armpit. Yeah, the stinks. But if you like their stinks, I think you're supposed to marry them. Maybe I don't know, but yeah.
Speaker 3:Are you guys going to? Yeah, probably. That's so cool. We've been together two years.
Speaker 4:Well, and I know, dude, I could tell in the song that I was like this is probably about someone he loves or the girl that he used to love and will never see again. And I'd known her for a year when I made that song too. How do you show, how do you display a song like that? Because, like, if I do a joke about a girl, eventually they're just oh, I thought that was funny. But with the song you have to be like well, like, did they sit down? You played it like what do you?
Speaker 3:I would be so embarrassed dude, so I so I made three songs in a week. I made funny, nauseous and looking for sarah in the same funny, funny, funny, funny questions about this stuff.
Speaker 4:Keep going, because I love how you make music, bro.
Speaker 3:Thank you, dude yeah, I think fun, I think funny is my best writing ever, no doubt, and people shit on it so hard when it came out.
Speaker 4:That's so funny, funny. And then the one you didn't care about. Do people give it so much praise and you're like that's the opposite of what I wanted to happen I see I care about all of them.
Speaker 3:That's kind of the thing is. I will only release it if I care about it. But the one that shocked me the most was my biggest song, which is away from me, because I'm like that song, like I made that blacked out as a joke, I'm like it was, it was me going, you know, fucking mgk so big right now and I was, uh, you'd be my bloody valentine and so we were gonna make like a sean mendez type song and be like huge and like magical.
Speaker 3:And we get to this guitar sample and I hear it and I go, I didn't know, I loved you up until you left me. I didn't know I needed all the lies you said to me when you said you love me, and then any boo-boo and you cannot catch me, and you left me lonely. Yeah, and that's the entire song. Yeah, the song was written so, but yeah well, that's what's weird.
Speaker 4:I think people and I don't know if people like if, uh, like, either I feel like you kind of are creative or you're confused about like if you are creative, yeah, but that's I didn't. I literally until a couple years ago, through listening to I think it was like watching a beatles documentary and then, like a band that I love, my favorite band they were talking about this. Like how you just said that, like you just have a vibe. I thought you literally had to sit down and like meditate and you're like all you need is love, like I thought it had to fully come through you.
Speaker 4:But it's like no, it's more of like a and that's kind of how jokes are too where it's like or like an idea you might have for tiktok or anything, where you're like, oh, it feels like something, and then you try to like just give birth to it and like, figure it out or whatever like. But I don't know the music side of it.
Speaker 3:But that's cool that you're like so you were writing a separate song. I, nanny boo boo, you can't catch me type yeah, and then it's still me doing. I didn't know, I loved. It's like still mgk yeah which is which is funny are you?
Speaker 4:are you big? I like mgk. I think he's cool, I feel like I.
Speaker 3:I like mgk too, but at that point it was 2021 and I just cannot get the fuck away from him. I don't think anyone could.
Speaker 4:I feel like I feel like my mom was like oh my god, I'm getting a lot of mgk tickets to my downfall. Yeah, yeah, what is that? Is that a song album?
Speaker 3:oh, yeah, I know from back then okay, okay, okay, but it was like pop punk.
Speaker 4:Okay, and has some of the best pop punk songs I've ever which is getting kind of a little bit of resurgence, which I'm a fan of yeah because that's like what I grew up with or whatever. But so you were right that you said you were writing those songs. We were talking for sarah. When we made the song I was like, oh my god this is the best song I've ever made.
Speaker 3:Like this is like it's not close. This is the best song I've ever fucking made and I was like I went into that project. The pro, it's coming out soon. It's called uh. Lol, I swim real good, I swear it. Say that again. Lol, I swim real good, I swear it yeah, yeah, yeah. Based off this insult where people were like you look like you couldn't swim, I'm like fuck you, fuck you, it was originally people said you look like you have, you look like you have asthma, that's.
Speaker 3:I always got told that you look like you have asthma. You kind of do look. Yeah, yeah, that's I look. A lot of people say that and that's not.
Speaker 3:I don't like that, but I feel like I also look like something might be wrong with me or like I have like a scar somewhere that like that they took apart out of me or something the original name of of the project was uh like, I swear to god I don't have asthma yeah but, but then I was like lol, I swim real good, I swear it yeah, it's a better. I like it, it's fun.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, it's definitely a mouthful yeah, um, but yeah.
Speaker 3:So I was like I was like, oh my god, like I was so nervous because I got dumped. Here's an ep. Lol was the one I made when I was 22. It has like my song. I don't know if you heard some of those, but they uh, yeah, listen.
Speaker 4:I felt like I started listening to you and then I started to be like, after I started listening for too long, I was like I think I gotta meet him first, because I was like I feel like if I kept listening for so long, and then I was like I'm gonna listen to him and then, like that is, I have a like a three and a half hour car ride. I'm gonna literally listen to your entire discography. And I'm not just saying that because I really did like your music, because I was like I actually liked your videos and didn't listen before you followed me. I didn't listen to your music because there's certain people like pd or certain people where I'm like I don't want to. I don't want to mix something up if I already like this person so much.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and then, because of how you know, you have the mix to get on your feed. Yeah, I started watching your stuff and I was like, fuck, because you remind me of kids. I went. When I say kids, I was like we were in high school, but like my buddies I went to high school with, like my buddies, josh and mike, and like all these guys who were like in bands. Yeah, they were just like you. They were incredibly talented musicians, but also the funniest guys and not just doing stuff for like dude.
Speaker 4:You see that movie like literally doing something where I'm like I've never seen a guy like fucking do this but I'm like we've all did versions of that, but that guy's, that guy's grabbing a thing we can't grab, like that in his specific, like self or whatever so yeah, it's cool to see that both things are awesome because I feel like yeah, dude, I feel like even sometimes, like keanu reeves, like play guitar one time and you'll see a video and you're like that didn't look like I hope it looked. You know, you kind of think it would look sick and you're like all right, he's kind of just standing it's kind of like when that guy.
Speaker 3:Ed Helms from the Office and the Hangover movies. When he starts singing, I'm like fuck.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And they're like why do you fucking sing? And everything I like singing, and it's like, yeah, but it's a yes.
Speaker 4:Or.
Speaker 3:Jimmy.
Speaker 5:Fallon Jimmy.
Speaker 3:Fallon. When he's singing he's like yeah for sure.
Speaker 4:It's like this weird Bob Dylan thing and I'm like come on, dude, yeah, can't sing at all. I feel like that that we were talking about tim robinson, because I feel like right now everyone has like an affinity and love for him, but that there's like that clip from detroiters when he's trying to sing and they're like fine, then you sing. It's like and like trying to sing. I am like that and I feel like singing is such a gift. I feel like it's such a crazy, crazy.
Speaker 3:I think I think the thing with it was I was always pretty funny and when I was like three years old I learned my first impression and it was Stitch and I can't do it now Like from Lilo.
Speaker 4:Lilo and Stitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I started honing, and did it make kids laugh or adults laugh? Because those are different laughs. Were you making everyone?
Speaker 3:laugh. It made the adults laugh.
Speaker 4:That's the important laugh, that one matters.
Speaker 3:My brother, who is like four years older than me uh, he would come home from like school or whatever he'd be like do stitch um, and so I uh, yeah, so you entertained him. Yeah, so, and that's very cool, that's friends and stuff, yeah, um. But I just kept learning new impressions and then I started doing impressions of singers singing, and so that was where I started getting better at singing like a lot better yeah so like, for example, I have a song called like.
Speaker 3:I do a lot of the female voices in my songs, oh my God, hi, like, I do like that, that's you. Yeah, you do a. That is great, thank you, dude. So I do like, like in my song New Chevy, I'm like.
Speaker 5:Chandler, hey, hey, you're saying her name in your sleep again, that's that's good.
Speaker 4:That looks like when one of those videos were eventually like I'm a guy man, like they showed, they're like doing like a chat roulette. It was this guy.
Speaker 3:I follow him or I'm friends with him now, but his name is nick bean and nick bean used to go on like uh, you now which is like omega back back in the day, kind of not really. It was a live streaming app. Yeah, he would go on there and be like hello hi how are you, and I thought it was so funny and I was like I'm gonna dedicate like months to this, and so I dedicate like six months to trying to learn it without any like, and my buddy, cody, like you could.
Speaker 4:They could say anything. You're not just learning phrases, you're trying to learn to fully talk like yeah yeah.
Speaker 3:So my buddy cody taught me he was like yeah, there's like, uh, there's like the root, there's always a root impression and his was um hello. And so he would do that. Um hello, that's really good. You would call him and he'd go hello, hey, what's up hey, what's up, girl, how are you?
Speaker 3:that's. And there was one time one of my buddies, uh, uh, he was like I was like staying at his house or whatever. I got to la and he was like talking to this girl and he was she was like who you with right now, like being like a real bitch, and I didn't, I didn't like her and I go, I go who are you talking? To get off the phone and she in that moment confessed that she'd been cheating on him while like screaming at him because he was with a girl yeah and he thought he was she was he
Speaker 3:facetimed her and she didn't answer and he facetimed her like 30 times, boom decline, boom decline. He's like answer the fucking phone and flips the camera. And it's me. I go um hi, you're cheating, oh my crazy I've been. I didn't actually feel bad about it.
Speaker 4:Well, yeah you, you're like the superhero, like there's nothing better than being able to be that guy because you get the least damage in that.
Speaker 3:Yeah like not in the shot.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, scoot oh, dude, I was having so much fun talking.
Speaker 3:You scoot in here dude, we get so fun we're just.
Speaker 4:We just keep going like dude. Great talking to you man yeah.
Speaker 3:So basically yeah by the end of it please follow us on patreon.
Speaker 4:Every follow helps, every dollar helps. If you want free stickers, if you want free stuff, please follow the patreon for bonus material and other stuff like that. Thank you so much, but I do want to ask because I didn't want to get too far off how did you from blackface to this, how did you show sarah that song? How did you like, how did you display that song and did she take it? Well like? I'm so curious because now she's also in the band that songs about her.
Speaker 4:Well, uh, which is very cool that your girl, her, his girlfriend, sarah, who is lovely, sweet, everything. You guys are so cute together, everything about you is very beautiful. And then he's like, yeah, and she's also the bass player of my band. I'm like that's fucking, that's sick. Yeah, it's sick, she's your cassandra, you're like it's. You guys are like wayne's, were like wayne, and fucking cassandra.
Speaker 3:That's crazy. She's really dope. She um, I showed it to her and I was I was actually like low-key kind of nervous. She was gonna hate it. Yeah, just because it starts off, it talks about like, looking for sarah, goes through this like, uh, it's a storytelling. All my songs are storytelling and they're very, very meticulously made. So like I'm very intentional with every, every single word, is very intentional with looking for sarah. It's about me how I was having casual sex and loving the casual, like that's what it is.
Speaker 4:I feel I usually guess wrong on songs. I swear to god I was thinking about that song and after I met I was like I wonder what that's for and I literally was like, oh oh, I feel like it's like he's like all these girls he's going through trying or like whatever, not like in a shitty way, but just like you're like that's not her. And then you find Sarah and you're like this is what.
Speaker 3:I've been looking, Is that?
Speaker 4:you know what comfy? Yeah, I haven't broken mirrors in seven years. I wonder how to end up here. I'm still unlucky like that.
Speaker 3:There's so much I feel that as a person, I resonate with that. I was worried. I was worried that she was gonna not like it, because I say the first line is I've been out making out with someone I'll forget about. Ain't that funny? I've been missing out. Tell me how I kept. I love you in my mouth but tasted. But I taste nothing.
Speaker 3:That's some sick lyrics thank you, dude, yeah, and so I'm, uh, looking for you's got me confused so I'll just pass. They never last. It's true, looking for you's too much to ask, like there's no going back. I've been looking for sarah at that hotel bar. I've been looking for sarah underneath my scars. Yeah, the original line is up, dude. I that that song. By the way, I think one of the biggest things about being an artist is understanding when to turn it off, and that's something a lot of people miss the mark on.
Speaker 4:I think that's when their music starts, like you and do you mean in the song or when to turn it off, or like in the right, in the right in the?
Speaker 3:like I knew with that. So there's a long story. But there's a guy, houston kendrick, my buddy silas and my buddy jay, and we were all in the studio um, which is like one of the first songs I've ever made in the studio. Actually, I think looking for sarah was the first song I've ever made in the studio I'm a bedroom artist typically well, you're right, which is all which is hard.
Speaker 4:I honestly think it's harder to do because if you had friends I had friends who had music stuff they could figure it out together. When you're figuring out your room, it's so, it's cringy and embarrassing. But like you getting through that cringy, embarrassing, there's so many people that haven't got could do what we do but didn't get past. Being like man. This doesn't feel good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know what I mean yeah, my thing was with with jay. I've always done stuff at his house and with everybody, like I've made my song eye to eye. It's like low-key, eye to eye is a really dope, dope, dope record and it was made in his kitchen and so like it's. It's tough. But my thing with with the studio was like I get there and, um, I don't have, I, I I check the ego at the door. When it comes to the studio, I'm not. I. I want my people to have some ego to them, but I don't want full ego and I don't. I don't come in with an ego.
Speaker 4:And then, and do you mean that, like, by the time you're going to produce the song, you're like I don't care if someone like says something about it. You're you're going to try not to take it personal, cause you, because you realize you're like creating something. Do you mean like that?
Speaker 3:it's like uh, I walk in and I don't have an intention of writing a hundred percent of the song I want collaboration. I like to be in a room where I'm the dumbest in the room at something like yeah that's where I, where I thrive, is being able to go okay, what does this song need?
Speaker 3:and being able to kind of direct that. And with looking for sarah, I got to really take a back seat and just go and just guide the, guide the room, and so like that was really really cool, because usually I'm like one of those like right, I write right, right, right, right, and I I came from rap, so I was like really against collaboration yeah, we were talking about rap.
Speaker 4:Before we got in here, I told you that I was like, I just like I've heard songs but I don't know how the world of it works yeah and you like yeah, you are very intentional with your songs. You like other artists that are intentional and stuff or like. I'm like completely opposite and I think that's I like, that they're. I have friends that are like that too, that care about that and the fact that someone's doing the meticulous work to make sure the puzzle pieces fit where.
Speaker 3:I'm just like you can throw art anywhere on a wall and it works like yeah, it's also tough because you want to be like I think not my song nauseous, I don't really like that song, nauseous yes yeah, I went and listened to that after it, because I love that you can mix it together, like when you guys were doing the video.
Speaker 4:You're like standing there in boxers and you're like shaking your butt, yeah, and or whatever. And then I was listening to that and I laughed at that and I was like I'm going to listen to that song.
Speaker 3:Thank you, dude.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I saw that video again and I was like holy shit, like you got a dunk which made me I was excited to meet you know that sarah was real because I didn't know if you like. Once you start shaking your butt and you're silly like guys, like you are in right now thanks like guys like you that are like.
Speaker 4:These silly guys look like they have asthma, but they're like and can make music and they're like. This guy's a comfy silly bitch like you're so cool so I thought I was gonna meet you back.
Speaker 4:There's a lot of sarah serious out there but, the fact that you're like you're a very genuine fun guy is like very cool to know that you're like. I come into the room trying not to have an ego because, like when you meet other artists, it can be interesting, because you're like you could be a complete psychopath. You don't know where, like the art comes from.
Speaker 3:I've actually been in rooms with people where I'm like talking to them, and they're like yo, I'm like a genius, I'm like, yeah, I'm walking out. You know, like people say that they're like like yo, I'm like trying to make it to the fucking gram yeah, I know you understand, I don't think I'm gonna walk there right now.
Speaker 3:I don't think, and honestly, if I, if I feel like I'm like as a person, I'm uh easy to go, okay, yeah. But when people like insult my music, I'm a lot quicker to be like, okay, let me, let me break down. Like, let me break this down for you.
Speaker 4:Yes, because you're like I've put so much work into it. Everything else is silly to me, and I feel the same way with my stand-up, where I'm like if someone doesn't like my stand-up, I don't care. But if someone was going to be like I think you gotta do this or this, I'm like I get defensive because I'm like I know how hard I worked to build this thing, so you, you're gonna knock on it and think you can tear it down. And I'm like there, you can't tear me apart, everything else is silly.
Speaker 4:But, this thing I take very seriously a little bit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, nauseous was an interesting one because, like I made that song, I hadn't released a song in like over a year and I was like I need to bring something back. And it was one of those like we made the song and we were like this is a little bit too artsy, it's too much of a risk, so we need to make like the hits. So we made look for sarah as like the lead yeah single. And I was like no, this formula doesn't work. Yeah, like this formula doesn't work for people. It works for people who already have like a label backing, but it doesn't work for people like me. I was like so let's leave with the, with the interesting one, because nauseous is an art piece where those of you who have not heard it, nauseous is a song where it starts off with my uh, these audios of me as a little kid creating when I was 10 so it starts very cool.
Speaker 4:So you really want it, you've always want it, you've had this. Oh yeah, it was like the lilo stitch thing, yeah. And then eventually you were like I'm gonna keep making music and be like these things were always the, it was always mixed yeah, it was always mixed.
Speaker 3:And then when I in 2010, in 2009, I was like I want to be a youtuber. And then I was a kid, I was in like fifth grade okay, 2009. So I was like I want to be a youtuber.
Speaker 4:My dad helped me out so my dad would film stuff for me when my mom wasn't home that's very sweet because, like I feel like I still came from like the last end of the generation, even like some of the other parents weren't like this. But if you were creative, your parents were like that's not paying the bills it's not paying the bills.
Speaker 4:It doesn't even seem like part of it. And then there was like a switch to where someone's like I, whatever you want to do, I'll help you, and I'll also at some point be like maybe knock this off or whatever. But that's so sweet that your dad wanted to help you and he's in your videos too, which is like yeah, and he still is, you know, and that's that's the cool thing.
Speaker 3:But I discovered I had a buddy come over and he was like his name is Parker and Parker was like he's like yo, like we're into rap now, all of us guys. So you got to get into rap. And I was like I'm not going to listen to rap, I'm not going to. And he showed me Eminem and I was like this doesn't do anything for me, he sounds angry.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I was like scared of Eminem. Him and Slipknot like were kind of synonymous in the same like.
Speaker 3:I was just like especially all those like photo shoots that he did where it's like murderer shit and so. I'm like this guy's scary. And then they showed me ass like that. He's on the way you shake it. I can't believe it. I ain't never seen an ass like that. Hilary Duff ain't quite that old enough yet.
Speaker 4:I ain't never seen a book like that yeah, you make my peepee go that's Eminem, yeah, and he goes, he goes, uh, he goes, uh.
Speaker 3:What do you mean, freeze? Please? I'm a human being, mr officer, we haven't even got to marry kate shower scene, like, and it's like this, like, really I don't know any of the deep eminem cuts oh, dude, he, he's funny as fuck, like genuinely has funny ass records, but ass like that. He made it like on a drug binge brother that song. I immediately started writing and I did not. I've not stopped since. I heard ass like that.
Speaker 3:It's like lit something in me yeah, yeah and so I heard ass like that and I just started writing. And then I got I started singing the hooks. And when I started singing the hooks I was like fuck, I'm better at singing the hooks than I am rapping. It's a disservice to the song. So I've always gone into stuff like what does, does the song need? And with Looking for Sarah, houston stood up. We had started making the song, making the beat first, and we just kind of had like a building block. And that's when you start freestyling melody. So what will happen is I'll hear like somebody playing like guitar and I'll hum a melody and basically. So I wish I don't know how to play guitar, but like someone and I was.
Speaker 2:That's more basic.
Speaker 5:so I'll be like so I'm feeling here I'm okay here and so that's basically what I do and then just trying to find.
Speaker 3:You're just trying to find it so I, yeah, I do melodies and then I find out what's the my voice. Memos are full by the way.
Speaker 4:That was a terrible example, like what I did to try to help. I couldn't be more musically uninclined and he did a great job of not being like it's his podcast. I shouldn't be like that's not what I'm looking for at all, but I'll like go along with it and then we'll just work our way out I try to.
Speaker 3:I try to lead like that. So I do like the melody first and I attach it, like I attach lyrics to it, and then I'll have a whole song and I'll go okay, what the fuck am I saying? And I'll go through and I'll change, like, if it's third person, I'll make the whole song third person or I'll go through and that's when I'll write. So I'll usually have a whole song freestyled like funny, funny is original, funny is original. Um, let me try to find this real quick funny, the original, funny, uh, freestyle is is uh, final, uh. Okay, this is the original funny freestyle.
Speaker 5:I feel like myself, but they don't want to see it. They don't want to help me. They just want to break me down. I know what I'm feeling. They don't want to feel it. I know that I see this, but they don't want to bring me down. But I don't think they even call I'm just like but, but yeah, but.
Speaker 4:So that part I like too, because I also like that is fun, where you like how you change different stuff which, like back in the day you'd have to be like we have to figure out a way to make that sound, but now, because you can change shit and stuff, it feels like so much more fast to play around yeah, and it's cool too, because funny is structured as a joke, like funny is supposed to be a joke, like that's the whole thing about it, it's, it's.
Speaker 3:It's about people like me, like myself, who use like humor as a defense mechanism, like when I was a little kid. If I got in trouble I would start laughing, not because I'm like being maniacal, but I would if I got uncomfortable. You're just like I don't feel yeah yeah, so it's about like when, or like somebody says something and then deflects it with a joke.
Speaker 3:So I'm saying like I'm sorry I don't seem deeper than things you notice. I guess I'm scared to open up for someone just to close it. And it's this whole like fucking cornball song. And then at the end I say all my friends keep talking. They say that I just keep it fun, but they don't call that often. Maybe I'll end up alone if I wasn't just joking. But the way I present it, using the environment around me as comedy, I make it to where there's a build up. Maybe I'll end up alone if I wasn't just joking. Yeah, I do it like that.
Speaker 4:So it ends on like that's the, that's the climactic, like punchline, yeah, yeah. And whenever you do something like that, is that when you say, you come into, is that an idea you had already? Or you come into the studio and someone's like what if you do? I was just mad inspired yeah, you're just mad. You're like feeling it.
Speaker 3:I was feeling the room yeah, yeah it's funny because my my producer, jay, he was like. He was like you know what, dude, I would never, ever. He was like I would fight any fucking artist on this. I think it's stupid. But he was like but I don't think it's stupid for you, yeah. So I'm going to let you have this because we have to say I love skits, I put skits in all my stuff, I love voice acting and doing that stuff. So, like, I'll do like all these different skits and shit. And so we started looking for sarah and we start making this song and he he, uh, I go, I have an idea. And he goes don't fucking say a skit, no skits. He starts hitting his hand. He goes no skits, like okay yeah then he calls me.
Speaker 3:He's like finishing the song, I'm back in texas like a couple months later and he goes. Hey chan, what's up? He goes, I need a skit. I go. Cool, I got you and he was like all right, can you send me a couple voice memos? So like that. Like there's like on my phone, like I have all the voice memos and shit. Yeah, yeah, um, but yeah, dude, like looking for sarah, I guided the room and like houston kendrick walked up there and he just goes. Uh, he goes. I've been out making out with someone I'll forget about please don't judge me.
Speaker 3:I've been missing out. Tell me how about bull, please don't judge. And he just does that and just freestyles, and then he leaves. I'm like, oh my god. And then yeah silas did the same thing. So he's like I've been looking and, uh, and you know, houston was like, oh my god, I have this idea for a song. What we got it looking for sarah beautiful.
Speaker 3:And I'm like, oh my god, you're like in my notes two weeks before I had written down I'm searching for sarah and that's what I wanted to do, and so when, when that moment happened, I like, almost like I like teared up yeah, because I'm like, I'm like wow this is, this is meant to happen.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that is funny because I don't write. I I very much lightly dabble. That's like the art form I wish I could do. More is so I will always write lyrics if I have an idea, and, like the other day, I had like an idea that I was like oh, I think that does tie back in and it's like a thing, it's like an unfinished puzzle piece you're never gonna do. But when I hear you say stuff like that or anything, it just makes you know like like I'll hear a guy say something funny, like dude, you should do stand-up, and they're like I probably can't do it. I'm like, yes, you can. So it feels cool to know that those things happen. Do you put a lot of your notes? Is that where you write most?
Speaker 3:of your songs in your phone, in my, in my? No, I have I. I was the. I did the journal approach for a while, but the better I've, obviously you get better when you do the reps, but, uh, the better you get at writing it, the I'm better at typing it fast me too I am at writing because it'll be it's they're two.
Speaker 4:I feel like they're two different things. It's like skateboarding or like surfing, and it's like they're just different.
Speaker 4:They look the same yeah but like I can type something really fast and go back and know exactly what I was thinking words I'm trying to write. Sometimes I'm like I can't even fucking get it quick enough. Yeah, and I feel like we have that. We live in that generation. We go so fast. The dude it'll piss me off when my notes app can't keep up, keep up with me or something like. Something's like slow. You're like why the fuck, won't it that's.
Speaker 3:That's a big thing of my, with my voice memos, my voice memos, I do that I like.
Speaker 4:And now with voice memos, have you seen that you can retract over something so you can make a beat? That is I. The other day just made a diss. My friend was sleeping, the girl I go on the road with. She didn't wake up so I just made a diss about how she's an idiot and like sleeping in and I was like it is cool when you can make creative stuff as quick as you could. I remember trying to fuck with garage band while I would shit at work and I'm not kidding, I would just go shit, like at this shit dumb job I had and I would just try to be like every time I shit, I shit for two minutes. That's a song. Try to make a song in two minutes and then eventually would just be like, yeah, but these songs aren't really like inspiring because I'm like shitting you think you think about it too much.
Speaker 3:Yeah, dude, I think my thing that was my superpower back then was I was kind of a dumbass, like that was like really like in the end of the day that was kind of what it was. I was like I'm going to be the best rapper, like I still rap.
Speaker 4:But you also said you were going to be a dumbass. But you also said that you try to come into the room being the dumbest person and I think, knowing that you're like I am a dumbass, also like trying to learn and I'm like, I'm not scared of any of that stuff I'm I'm great at what I do, but I would like to be in a room with people who are great at what I don't do.
Speaker 3:Yeah or who are better than me. You know, like I, I think that's what I see from all the upper echelon people.
Speaker 4:You start to see that they're like they just see other greatnesses, like how, like, um, yeah, just two animals in the wild like just see each other. Whatever they're like, I'm not scared of you. You do a completely different thing. I could actually learn my favorite band of story of the year and they were the guitar player from senses fail. They were both talking and I heard him.
Speaker 4:He goes dude, we really need to like play guitar together yeah and he was like dude, I know he goes, you can do things I can't do, goes and you could do things, and just hearing them say that and I've, you're just like, oh yeah, there's like we all have these different things we can do. There's never like someone's never even getting in your lane. We're like fucking all going so much our own way. Anyone getting in your lane, I feel like, is wallowing and kind of like looking for something besides, like their own, like what's in it.
Speaker 3:It's so easy to sniff it out too.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it is really easy, Like if someone is in trying to do an impression of thing it feels like and I've. When I started stand up, I remember nikki glazer told me she goes, you know, you kind of sound like this comic, who do I? He used to stand up a lot. He doesn't as much anymore. He's so funny. Tommy john again. And she was like, you kind of sound like him. I go, I'm not, I know what I'm not trying to. She goes no, I used to sound a lot like sarah silverman. She goes, you kind of are like inspired by these people, but eventually you kind of like, you just like let go of that. Because that's the difference too, where someone's like trying to be like someone and then other people are trying to find themselves. And I think that's the difference between like stealing or just coming into your own or whatever.
Speaker 3:With Eminem too. Specifically like with Eminem I. Eminem is like every rapper's favorite rapper and shit you know when. Like the only time that people are successful outside of Eminem is if they're trying to not be Eminem Like anytime successful outside of m&m is if they're trying to not be m&m like anytime. Anytime someone's like uh, that booty is heavy dude, like you know what I mean. Anytime somebody's doing yes, doing shit and sounds too much like m&m, it's corny. Yeah, because that's like his thing.
Speaker 4:Yes, well, that's what I think my friends just went to see prof. Do you like you? Do you like prof? Uh, I don't know who profit? Interesting, you should check. I think you should check him out. He's very unique, his style I I'm yeah, yeah, he's, his style is very unique. But the thing about him is that, like I said that I was like he's so unique and found something that's so himself that now you can't unhear it. And if anyone tries to do that, you know they're impersonating him or whatever.
Speaker 3:Because, yeah, there's like Harry's one of those. Oh yeah, Jim Carrey is great at being Jim Carrey. If somebody acts like Jim Carrey, I instantly want to fucking kill myself. I want to kill myself when somebody tries to.
Speaker 4:I know dude, you know I, when I was a kid, I used to think about it. I was like, yeah, that's what I want to be, jim Carrey, and I would think about being like how, like, how do you act like that? And you're like it has to come in, only accompany you can only go into it if it's what you're supposed to do? You ever see a dog who lives with cats? Try to act like a cat.
Speaker 4:you're like, yeah, you're not doing it right yeah, like you're not doing exactly right but when you do, when you let it like out like I can't explain it, but you just have to let that feeling like happen and I that's how I know that, like when I see other people like sometimes this guy was like dude. I feel like he like kind of stole your joke and I'm like that's fine, because I know I'm eating from like this creative place and I'm getting the full meal. Totally you can have any of the crumbs that you think and you can try to follow me. But like that gets after a while you're just following and I feel like it's so much better to just go your own way and find that, yeah, there's and and with that, with the belly thing and shit, anybody who copies it gets shut the fuck down quick, very quick even if someone who doesn't follow me, they're like what the fuck are you doing?
Speaker 3:that's chandler cooper yes, that's cool it's cool, it's cool they
Speaker 5:call it the chanarchy.
Speaker 3:yes, you know, uh, but but yeah, like it's really hard to replicate it and it's so evident that, like you know, um, but I have another account, susan bennett's pay2, where on Chandler Cooper, I just don't talk, but on Susan Bennett's PayPig2, I'm not shirtless and I don't shut the fuck up.
Speaker 2:So it's like hey, everybody, this is my penis. What the hell are you talking about your penis? Okay, what the hell. And, by the way, bobby Jaycox, what are you? A fucking?
Speaker 4:freaking MG Jaycox.
Speaker 5:Dude.
Speaker 4:You're so good at holding onto that Cause, I feel like all of us can only hold it for like a second, unless it's like that character Cause, like I've, I've watched your videos, for I don't know how long I've been following you, but every time I watch your videos I remember like I kept seeing you do that character and then I was like, how does he hold it?
Speaker 4:And then, even more interesting, you'd be like you feel it, and then you go I just as an outsider. You go, oh, wow, I feel like that thing. That's 30. I was going to fuck me and then, and then to take that and then go and like the mask like a Jim Carrey version of the master switch and go, oh, maybe like how you those things.
Speaker 3:I'm like you're just like playing a guitar so well and a guy's like. I have the same guitar, I can't play it.
Speaker 4:You know, you know, you know I think a lot of it comes from is when I was little I was into ventriloquism, shut up into it like you had more, you had more than one or uh. In my adult life ended up having like eight, that's way too many and I love you and I know you for not very long. I smelled your shit, but that's the stinkiest thing, I sold all of them.
Speaker 3:I sold all of them except for one.
Speaker 4:I was like if you met jeff dunham, you'd cry not now.
Speaker 3:I think he's like a, isn't he like a? I think he became like a weird conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer. I wouldn't really give a fuck I would. I, I don't think, dude, I don't think I would give a fuck about. If any ventriloquist walked in a room, I'd probably go yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I don't even know any besides him. I don't think if back in the day.
Speaker 3:Yeah, uh, there was this one guy and he would always come to the elementary schools. Uh, when we were in elementary school not a good sign, not a good sign, but he had this like thing called like the banana bunch and uh, they would just kind of pull up there. I think he was from like oklahoma or some shit. It's kind of like tiger king used to come to our elementary schools. The so exotic yeah, so I actually have a picture somewhere from, like from tiger king.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but it's me as a little kid picture and all I can do is picture that guy walking around a school and how scared you are. If you're like taking a piss at the little tiny urinals, you do, and you're like a kid. And then joe the tank walks in and he goes man, you want it? Yeah, I fucked. You want to hold my gun like.
Speaker 3:He's like a guy, he's like dude no one can tell you, you can't be nothing, you ain't nothing gonna be like when tiger king when tiger king hit, I didn't even put two and two together. And then someone's like yeah, he used to come to the school. And then I boom, I repressed him because he was such a fucking prick to us oh yeah, I'm sure awful now you're holding the tiger wrong. We're sitting there like this and you're handing us a milk bottle and saying now feed the tiger.
Speaker 3:Yes, baby tiger Like it's so fucking sick. But fuck you, joe, but no like which is crazy.
Speaker 4:You're kind of a part which is crazy to be like. You were like like when you watch that documentary you're not that far removed from it.
Speaker 3:Like you're like, yeah, he's up the road, he's in here in this town, in Fort Worth town, in fort worth that's where he's in prison.
Speaker 4:That's where he's in prison. Is here, he's in the prison. I would really like to see if we could. There's no way. There's no way, there's no way, dude.
Speaker 3:I loved when my favorite thing was when trump got got put into office and or no that was your favorite thing ever.
Speaker 4:I love that.
Speaker 3:I love everything that ever happened no, but my favorite thing not when he was put into office, but it was like 2020, trump is starting. Trump is starting to be like this covet thing is really gay yeah.
Speaker 3:And so like all this stuff's happening, and then joe is like I love you, trump, get me out. And he like they have a limo waiting for him because trump is ending his term and he's about to do all the pardons and he's like fuck, joe exotic. And he's like he's like I love. He's like make america great. I'm Joe Exotic. And then Biden comes in and Biden's like hey guys, god bless America. And then Joe Exotic's like Mr President, I love you so much.
Speaker 4:I loved it dude, I would say, yeah, I would definitely say a lot of things to get out of prison. Yeah, for sure oh my God, I would say yes.
Speaker 3:It's like okay, joe, you're not a Democrat.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I don't even know if that guy, I don't even know if you can vote Like I don't and maybe like he probably no.
Speaker 3:He can run, though he can run, he can run for president. He would win.
Speaker 4:Dude, that would be crazy. Yeah, I, dude, I don't. I remember watching that documentary and you're like I never watched it. You haven't it. It doesn't seem like the whole time it's happening. You're like, no, this seems just like a really good, like like kyle mooney like made a sketch, like you know. I mean like it feels like such a weird silly thing and like I don't know. And it also like now I'll go by places like I don't remember we were in like oklahoma. I don't remember where we were driving, but we saw one of those like not a joe exotic, but like one of those places. Yeah, and I have that feeling that's not good where I'm like man, I don't want to stop there, but I have never seen a tiger that close and there's a party that wants to go, but it's a bad thing. But I'm like you can see them when you're driving by. You see it walking along the fence and you're like I yeah yes, fuck, I, I'm a little bit where.
Speaker 4:I'm like we. I can't fight it, so I'm gonna go every once, while I do go to a zoo, but I don't go out very often, but if I'm gonna go to a zoo, I like to go to preservation spots.
Speaker 3:I'm a big I'm a big tortoise guy, so I like going places where you do, you do have how many? You have two tortoises I have two tortoises and a three-toed box turtle beautiful, yeah, three-toed box turtle, mix up. Can they all hang out? No, it turns out the fucking sulcata tortoise, which is the third largest uh species of tortoise in the world. Uh, he wants to fucking destroy the box turtle and they live together, which is like not the best, but I found they're so resilient the box turtles.
Speaker 3:So I like made it happen and uh, then she like he would like get on top for, and he got really heavy. He hit a growth spurt and became a bully, which happens, and so they're separate, they're all separated, they have separate stuff. And my box turtle is the happiest she's ever been. Her name is mildred uh. And then my uh so caught. His name is keith. And then sarah's tortoise puppy his name is his name, he's a red. Then Sarah's tortoise puppy is his name.
Speaker 3:He's a red footed tortoise puppy yeah, but Keith's like this big yeah, I got him when he was this big when from Facebook marketplace.
Speaker 4:Dude, this is the guy. They're probably just breeding yeah.
Speaker 3:They're like our tortoises had hatchlings 75.
Speaker 4:I knew someone who bred like spiders. I'm like what a scary job. Yeah, like what a weird. Like I'm not even that scared of spiders, but I'm like I'm scared enough to not want 90 of them yesterday.
Speaker 3:Yesterday I was at the north american reptile breeder conference and I actually have pictures I'll show you I'll show you my god, but like I was there yesterday I know a lot of people who do comedy are like, but like they had fucking prairie dogs beautiful prairie dogs.
Speaker 4:Beautiful prairie dogs. They had this calf.
Speaker 3:They had these Pac-Man frogs. That's a matcha.
Speaker 4:And they just bring all of these. This is just. You can just bring your animal.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they bring your animal and they sell it.
Speaker 4:Oh, they sell these they sell them.
Speaker 3:Yeah, these are their cicadas. These are what I have, but they're $55.
Speaker 4:But the best turtle ever is a Mata.
Speaker 3:Mata turtle. They look like leaves.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, that thing would scare me. Yeah, if you saw that and didn't realize what it was.
Speaker 3:Sorry, one second. Oh the ear bit, hello, hello. I stole this from Blake Rozier. He did it one time and I almost pooped myself. It's a great bit.
Speaker 4:This is my bit. I like to pretend light a cig in a place you're very obviously not supposed to light a cig, because anyone I know, even the coolest person all you have to do is put the ding here. You have the cigarette and you don't light it. It looks like I'm doing it and the coolest person I know will just be hanging out and we're in the studio or something. They're like dude, you can't fucking smoke in here.
Speaker 3:It. It's a metaphor. It's a metaphor for my life.
Speaker 5:This is my favorite Ready. This will look great on camera.
Speaker 4:Phone case.
Speaker 3:Oh, my God like that and you just kind of drop it. But then this is like it's like oh yeah, it's random, boom, you drop it and it's fully gone.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, that's a good one. That's a great one. Might have to cut that for time, but it was a good one, yeah yeah we'll cut it. They're like dude, that guy, dude, I didn't know, he did magic.
Speaker 3:There's something called whimsy farming too, which is like when you uh like go to a smoking section and you just blow bubbles, but you do it like a cigarette. That's another one. Oh yeah, okay yeah, I like.
Speaker 4:I like to make other people just feel like they're in a different place, like they're like I don't feel like I'm comfortable with this guy right now and just doing a fake bit, but not making anyone really feel uncomfortable um, but yeah, so do you have? Um, do you have any? I know you were talking about making music and I saw you said you're going on tour when, in march, march, yes, I'm going on a little tour.
Speaker 3:I'm hitting. We're going to Denver, colorado, omaha, nebraska, atlantic, iowa, coming down to Branson, missouri, and then going to Oklahoma City, branson.
Speaker 4:Missouri. I'm from Missouri. I'm a big Branson fan.
Speaker 3:I had never been to Branson until we went on tour last year.
Speaker 4:Got some guys coming in the studio.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I guess they're about to rehearse. We're about to wrap up.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so you're going on tour. What?
Speaker 3:dates? I don't know yet. You don't know yet. Blake knows them better. But we've got to get everything locked in. But if you follow at Chandler Cooper on tour on Instagram, I'll have all the information there.
Speaker 4:Absolutely, and if nearby or not on tour, I would. I cannot wait to see your band. I love going to.
Speaker 3:Oh, this one's not. This one's not gonna be a band. It's gonna be me and sarah, and sarah's gonna dj and I'm gonna be like beautiful, yeah, it'll be cool, we're gonna. We did, we did a full band last year and it was like whoa and you guys are gonna fully like when you guys tour together.
Speaker 4:You guys gonna get a van. You gonna go out of the kia.
Speaker 3:I'm going on my kia, but not this kia. I have another kia. Oh man, it's a kia sorento. So I did this bit for him. When he got here, where I like reverse parked unreal bit, by the way I uh, it's my first time ever doing it, so I'm glad it was funny. But I popped the hood, opened up the doors and uh, like I was gonna blare some music, but he kind of pulled up and I was already like sitting there and I was like I word and I get out. I'm like what do you think he's like?
Speaker 4:oh yeah because I was like oh cool, it looks like you owe your car overheated, so you opened everything. You're like everything, my whole car's hot.
Speaker 3:And then I look at my engines going and I'm like what the fuck? And I look at my check engine lights on I'm like, oh shit, I gotta turn the car off. Fuck, just happened here, dude piss me off.
Speaker 4:That's the thing, because that's the like usually we were just talking about, like that's what's funny is we do bits to other people, but when the universe does a bit to you, where? You're like oh, haha, dude, my car's broke. The fuck is my fucking car broke down and that happened to you and you're like. I came out, my engine was like shaking I used to.
Speaker 4:I used to do this bit where I'd pull over on the side of the road, like country roads, and uh I would act like my car was like overheated and I would uh try to attack anyone I would do this thing where I'd pull over it and anytime they got near my trunk I would shut them in it, and then I would I would like starve them or not let them out, and then eventually I'm like this is funny yeah, and then when I realized, oh wait, I think it went too far, then they're a loose end then they're like, they're like.
Speaker 4:I'm malnourished, like I want, I want to understand how this funny, but my cognitive like dissonance, it's all I've been pooping in a bucket yeah, yeah bucket's still here yes I go in, I like change the bucket yes, I'm just doing breaking bad dude, that's
Speaker 4:you ever seen breaking bad. Oh, it's my dude. Best show of all time yeah I went to the house. Yeah, I met him. No, yep, I don't know. I know I didn't show the tortoises. You gotta send me all these pictures so I can show everyone not to brag, but I camped out in the freezing rain, I would fully camp out to see them. Here's the thing about Bryan Cranston. I'm not that big into acting. We like movies.
Speaker 3:I think Bryan Cranston is the greatest actor.
Speaker 4:I was gonna say I do think to be able to be like he's just an actor. Oh, I'm sorry, no, no, I was going to say I do think, because to be able to be like and he wasn't even a stand-up, he's just an actor who can be the fucking and I'm not the first person to say this, but in my eyes, to see Malcolm in the middle and then to watch Breaking Bad and be like I don't even like how this show looks. I was like this show looks stupid. And then I've never watched a show like as it came out before or after that, like Prison Break a little bit, but that show was so fucking good and to see that he can do both is truly, truly incredible also, it's so good.
Speaker 3:Aaron Paul and him have, I think, the best chemistry ever captured on camera, because they're like, oh, this is scooching, that's what's happening we're scoocherinos, I'm sitting here like this and it's inching, so I and he sounds like that in real life. That was the fucking, the most trippy part he's like yeah, bitch he's like yo, what's up guys?
Speaker 3:yeah, thank you, yes, bitch, but no, he, uh I. So I went. I heard my dad called me and he goes chandler, what's up? And he goes dude, north dallas, there is a total wine. And in the morning they're doing a meet and greet where you buy a bottle of Dos Hombres Moscow and you get it signed, you get a picture with them and I go okay. So I call one of my friends and I'm like you want to go do this? He lived in Fort Worth, he lived here. So I was like I was like you want to do this and he was like fuck, yes, I do. So I was like all right word. Then my dad calls me. We're in a hot tub. My dad calls me and goes hey, dude, they're lining up. I go what the fuck do you mean? They're lining up? And he was like people are camping out. I'm like it's fucking like 30 degrees.
Speaker 3:So we get sleeping bags to go and catch a flight. So it's like fucking crazy. Yeah, I just wanna make sure it's still recording. But yeah, so I, I, uh, I'm, I'm camped out there and I'm sitting there and I'm like fuck, I'm in like jeans and like a corduroy, like jacket. I need to get prepared to sleep out here.
Speaker 3:So we go, we like hold our spot in line. We come around the back, we go and buy sleeping bags and pillows and stuff. We come around the back way and where the line was is gone and we're like where the fuck is the line? There were like 10 people here and I look at him, I go fuck, and we park it. We're like they're probably here, like delusional. We go around the corner and sure enough, they were out there and Aaron Paul was standing there and he was like yo, yo, anybody who's like here for a picture, you got it, go home, don't sleep, it's cold. And brian cranson's like oh, thank you for being here. Thank you, I'm brian cranson. He didn't say I'm brian cranson, obviously, but he was just, but I was like can we get a photo?
Speaker 3:and aaron's like, yeah, come on. And then the next, like brian cranson was, he's like 70, he's tired and aaron paul's not, so he's like not, he's like super happy. But the next morning I'm in, I go in line, I'm like I'm there and Aaron sees me and he goes yo, what's up, buddy, how you doing, man, thanks for like camping out. Didn't expect to see you still.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I was like, fuck that.
Speaker 4:And then when you yeah, it's so fun when you get to see someone like that, and then you get to cause, you get to see a little bit behind the curtain and you're like you're just a person and you're like, yeah, you are acting, but you're a little bit of a version of that person that you are or whatever, and like, honestly, I don't read a lot, but the only book I read a little bit of and listened to that was like an autobiography, bryan Cranston's, called A Life in Parts.
Speaker 4:And I will say, as a creative person, I don't like to be like, oh, but you gotta read. But like I think that book and I Am Farley about Chris Farley are like the two best books that I read. That like gave you insight where you're like we're fully all on our own journeys. To be like anybody else isn't even a purpose or anything like that. It just gives you this like real thing that we're all going through whatever. Because, like dude brian cranston one time quit his job, him and his brothers had saved money, bought motorcycles and wanted for murder.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh wait what happened.
Speaker 4:I don't remember that part.
Speaker 3:They were going for murder, there was this guy. So they would do this thing where they would like bus tables all across the country. So they so what happened was, uh, they would bus tables all around the country or whatever, and they had this manager who was a prick at one of the places right before they left and brian had said like, oh, I just wish so he was.
Speaker 3:He's a comedian, he's funny yeah, so he was like I just wish somebody would just fucking kill that motherfucker and chop him up and fucking hide his body and then he leaves. But that night that man dies, oh, and he's fucking forgot yeah so that guy dies. So then now this he had just said he wanted to kill someone. That guy dies. Now he's driving away across the country and on a motorcycle, and they're like looking for him and they're looking for him yeah, like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I remember seeing him tell that story. I think I'll tip for tachyon. I'll have to check out the brian cranson one. Uh, green lights by matthew mcconaughey single-handedly changed my life really. Green lights by matthew mcconaughey what is it?
Speaker 4:I've never when I say really, I've never even heard of that, and I like listening to him and like his philosophy. Audio book audio book he wrote a book yeah, get his audio book, he basically.
Speaker 3:So he used to journal since high school. He had journaled every single day and he just kind of said yes to everything.
Speaker 4:I love saying yes to everything, yeah, so he, uh, he like had journaled yeah, I used to do improv, but I also, if I've when, every time I watch, yes man, I'm like it really does. It's like taking liquid luck from like harry potter. It really it does lead you to the best places. No, will lead you into a hole and yes, well, like, could also lead you to a terrible place.
Speaker 3:But I think if you are smart enough yeah, I just don't.
Speaker 4:I just say no to orgies and brothels those are what I do mostly say yes to yeah so that's so we're different in so many ways yeah, dude I uh, I.
Speaker 3:So it's. It's crazy, dude, it's. Uh, that book is about like all the things that he said yes to. That turned into a green light, yes, and the red light like when his father dies. It's a red light, you know. And the yellow light's like, oh, there needs to be cautious. It's an interesting thing.
Speaker 3:But he had journaled for years and so he went through all of his journals and wrote, wrote the stories of the journals and refreshed it. So we went in total isolation with every journal he'd ever written in he does it every day and so every journal he'd ever written, boxes and boxes, and went and like, camped out and wrote an entire book based off of those entries. And in the book there are like, printed, like you can see, the, the original journal entries from the periods he's talking about and it's so powerful and dude. It's like he starts it off and he's like. I was molested by an older man while I was on peyote in the wilderness. I did this and I'll tell you something. Everything I've done is let me do this and boom bang, boom all right, all right, all right.
Speaker 3:And so he's like doing this whole thing. You're sitting there just listening to him and like in a trance it feels like a cat purring in your ears. Yeah, it's so fucking cool. And then, yeah, so it's like this, it's like this really dope journey that he goes on and yeah, it's just it's, it's it, just it inspired me so much it inspired me, so we were talking about.
Speaker 4:Like sometimes, whenever you are being a unique person, you're doing your own thing. Sometimes it's nice to hear another guy just like, even like nearby, like climbing the we're all trying to climb this mountain and do this thing to even nearby hear somebody and it sounds like they're going up. They're like, oh, I'm on the right side of it or whatever. I might be like on the right path or whatever, and like that shit is beautiful. Get in here, baby, I'm gonna, I'll cut it together and we'll look fucking beautiful.
Speaker 4:Dude, hell yeah, but yeah, there's a yeah, we'll kind of we'll wrap it up. And I just want to say that like it's nice meeting another creative person, because it's fun when you can get excited about doing this. Because I feel like sometimes, whenever I wake up, when you want to be creative I don't know how you, your dad seemed like inspiring, but sometimes when I feel creative, it feels like I real, like important thing and it does make a difference to people and stuff, and like dude, I was literally just taking a piss at a comedy club, checking my phone and I was like dude, is that chandler cooper followed me and I we started messaging and you were so cool and I feel like it's cool when you start to meet.
Speaker 4:There's this guy. Uh, I feel like, do you know you follow I? I think his uh, instagram name is like I am I christopher or I'm christopher. He's from canada and he just does. It's just him in his room being like this. It's like an impression of something silly, like the dinosaurs, right before they all, like went extinct or something like that. He's like, oh, he holds a coffee mug. Yeah, yes, he's somebody's holding coffee. Now, that's pd2. They're like I'll just I'll show you stuff later, but anyway, he was a guy. Yeah, like I christopher, but he was a guy who, like, had followed me and I feel like we live in this time now where it's nice to give each other like community, and we feel like, because sometimes I'm like, am I funny? And when someone else who you think is funny follows you and thinks you're funny, I Christopher that guy.
Speaker 3:I just saw him today for the first time in years.
Speaker 4:Dude, I love that guy's videos. I follow him. We've messaged online how me and you did, and we just kind of both give each other, like the cowboy, not a little bit of like yeah, I see you love what you're doing and like.
Speaker 4:I could never replicate again If you try to replicate that you couldn't, and then also if you've had an idea like that but you couldn't do it as long, yeah, and so like, yeah, and you do that too. Like I love meeting people who do this other thing, cause also, standup is a fun world and it's cool, but there's, we live in a time where you anything you want, so if you just wait till the weekend to do a couple shows, like I'm very inspired by you guys to do stuff that I've written in my phone for years and be like I don't know.
Speaker 4:Like me, my buddy used to do this bit all the time in st louis, where we'd be like, oh dude, I'm gonna move down to st louis, I'm gonna go to the zoo every day, probably go to the arch, and we would do this silly bit and die laughing. And then I see you and I'm like he's doing what he would do with his friends. But instead of being like, kind of like, I feel I don't know if I want to post this doing it. And then you get a cult following of people who are like my heart, when you do a thing, makes me be like I have to see this, and then and you know, people are doing that thing where they're sending it to other people and then they do like.
Speaker 4:I've already seen this. I don't know if it's real. I know is when you're sitting there and you're being that character, because I'm a big fart fan.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:But you're sitting there like this and then you fart and it lasts so long and then the laugh seems real, so I think it's a real fart. Was that a real fart, or is that a dubbed over fart?
Speaker 3:The one I made. Junk, that one.
Speaker 4:Yes. That is the only one I've ever released. That was actually fake. Okay, thank you for telling me, because you laughed so sincerely that I was like did you shit your pants? I laughed because it kept going.
Speaker 3:I was like Sarah was blowing a raspberry on my stomach. Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 4:Okay. It's not a sound bite it is.
Speaker 3:That is okay. She's blowing a raspberry on my tummy, dude.
Speaker 4:I'm going to say this and I'm like je because she's still going, but it's like.
Speaker 4:But it sounded like. I was shocked I go, jeepers, I'm losing it. I didn't even know there was something cooler than it being fake or real or a fart. Is that your girlfriend just blowing rat? You? Do you guys really have such a like? That is what every artistic guy wants, is like another fun person who wants to play too. Yeah, and that is just such a. I personally, I feel like that, like I love whenever, like I like whenever I'm dating someone, they'll be like you think I'm like weird. I'm like do not ever lose it like, I like that weird.
Speaker 4:That's so beautiful, but, dude, you're awesome. Is there anything with anything you'd like to promote? Clip anything that you want to say, because you're awesome and I want everyone to follow you and see you.
Speaker 3:Um, yeah, if I, if I crack a beer with you and I look over at you like I look, and you look up at me and you have tears in your eyes, I'm going to break something in your house. That's all I got to say.
Speaker 4:That's all he has to say.
Speaker 3:So fucking put your breakables away.
Speaker 4:Chandler Cooper. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much Love you guys. Have a good night. I'll see you later. Buy this shirt from him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, buy this shirt from him, don't.
