What's up, everybody Welcome.
Speaker 2Yeah, welcome to Gilded Trash, season 2, episode 4. We don't know the title yet, but we'll let you know when we know.
Speaker 1And boy do, we got a doozy.
Speaker 2We do, oh, my Atlanta.
Speaker 1The first time ever on the Gilded Trash podcast, we will have a guest. That guest is not just a guest, that guest is not just any guest Amazon comedian you know what I mean. Like not just some run-of-the-mill guy that I know, it's a real deal, somebody that has a special on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 2That's right. Word of mouth is special.
Speaker 1Yeah, scott Kelly and he'll be joining us here real soon. So I mean, he's his Amazon special drop two weeks ago. Go check it out. It's called word of mouth, Um, and he's going to be joining us here momentarily.
Speaker 2But in the meantime, um, I'm just going to go ahead and throw this out there, if you didn't see my promo earlier today. Um, we did meet up with Scott on Saturday to record this podcast episode, and Alana B forgot to hit the record button for the first time in an entire year of 40.
Speaker 1Oh, it was so good. It was so good. I'm sorry, You'll never know though.
Speaker 3You'll never know.
Speaker 2I think we can recapture, though, that the beauty of hanging out with friends on a podcast is that there's always a lot to talk about, especially when you're friends.
Speaker 1Oh my God, it won't be the same, but it'll be good.
Speaker 2It'll be good. So I don't know if this is going to stay in the podcast, but I'm going to talk about it anyway because I'm just kind of biting my tongue just in case shit goes awry this weekend. But I am like my gut is in knots to have my next guest on trash panda social club, which is one miss ashley poe, daughter of subab white of the wild and wonderful whites. We're gonna talk about it because that's one of the things is like when that movie came out, if you were in the pop culture crowd that watched it or documentary it's not a movie, but when the to watch it. But I fell in love with those people. They're like awesome and there's so many quotable moments in that show.
Speaker 1Dennis, is this Dennis?
Speaker 2is this Wherever you are.
Speaker 1Dennis. Dennis is this.
Speaker 2That's right. So I actually started following Kirk on TikTok this week and she's selling a shirt that has Tyler saying Dennis is this.
Speaker 1That's the best. Dennis is this.
Speaker 2Yes, that's what. I'm saying there's so many, hi, dennis.
Speaker 1This is what you are.
Speaker 2There's so many quotable moments in that documentary I can't even take it. Boone County, mate and Call.
Speaker 1Boone County Mate and Call right here, call right here.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean all of it. I mean it's all good.
Speaker 1I don't want no sloppy slimy eggs. I held a knife up to her. Well said woman, don't you make me no sloppy slimy eggs here I can't even take it he's like ready to kill her over some eggs. That's wild. He says it on a PBS documentary. What were the people at PBS thinking when they were like who the fuck is this guy? He's like I had a knife right there, Threat Tower, nose Slimey, slimy eggs.
Speaker 2Was it Ken Burns?
Speaker 1No, because it was called Dancing Outlaw. It was back in the early 90s.
Parody Songwriting and Comedy Beginnings
Speaker 2You're absolutely right. Well see, and that's why I think I told you, I got a couple things conflated, because in my brain Billy Bob Thornton says that in the movie Tombstone, and so I don't know how that ever got conflated in my brain, other than he, who we shall not name, but it's like maybe it is in the movie. I'm going to have to go back and watch the movie, that's all I'm saying, but I feel like sloppy slimy eggs is another quote from that. You know there's so many good quotes from the documentary, but I'm going to save the emotional parts for what. I'm talking with Ashley. I am just so excited, like Saturday, I'm going to be like a little kid at Christmas time, all day, until she's like hey, I'm ready to record, anyways.
Speaker 1We'll be busy recording.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Oh, dutch love yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah. So if you guys do not know this about us, we both actually write parody songs. Scott's been writing them since he was a young'un. I've been writing them since I was a young'un.
Speaker 1We haven't talked about it over the years but once you started singing and ruining some of my favorite songs uh, how niche I get is. I wrote an entire system of a down album not the whole thing, but I selections uh all based as if they were michael jackson singing about uh children so and uh, I mean, of course you know there was more than that.
Speaker 1One particular thing that I'm very good at is writing songs as if they were from the perspective of Michael Jackson, trying to get children to the tune of rock classics such as Preschool City, unmolested. Who could forget some of the other classics? Put Some Weed in the Pipe, such as Preschool City, unmolested. Yeah, who could forget some of the other classics? Put Some Wheat in the Pipe to the tune of Pour Some Sugar on Me? That's one of my best ones. Toby Keith should have been a pothead Scott's getting ready to join.
Speaker 2but what did you say right before that? What was your best one?
Speaker 1Oh, the Put Some Whe weed in the pipe. Come on, fire it up, you know oh my I can't remember the. I'd have to sit down and really think about it, but I had it all you know it's green, sticky sweet, from the bud to the leaf. Yeah, digga, digga, digga, digga, digga, digga. You know I sang it for you, you don't remember no I don't. It's a classic babe. It's a classic on the Scott station.
Speaker 2Yeah, so long story short.
Speaker 1Or, for some reason, all the country music songs are about being gay.
Speaker 2What's that one?
Speaker 1The Biggest Dicks in Texas, or I Just Got Started Fucking Dudes. You're a nut Long Black Train train, but it's a different name.
Speaker 2No, I'm kidding I can't even with you. So, anyways, what I decided to do was we are going to spend saturday recording skits of the. We'll call them parodies. I like to call some of them bastardizations.
Speaker 1I like to call them reimaginings.
Speaker 2Kind of like the Wiz.
Childhood Comedy and Class Clown Stories
Speaker 1Yeah, but with less women no women. You know what I'm talking about. Zack and Mary make a porno, and he's like more of a reimagining. He's like, oh, like the Wiz, and he's like's like it's a re. He's like more of a reimagining. He's like, oh, like the whiz.
Speaker 2And he's like, yeah, but with less women no women as a matter of fact, oh my god, did you see the um, the reel that kevin smith did where he was back in the monroe vale mall?
Speaker 1no, no, I saw the one with the church thing, but yeah, he's been doing a Pittsburgh tour.
Speaker 2It's crazy how many things he did in Pittsburgh Dogma, Zack and Mary. I'm sure there's probably other stuff. I have to look. I wonder if Chase and Amy was done out there too, because that feels like a Pennsylvania, I felt like that was more like in Jersey.
Speaker 1They're either like in New. All those movies are either Jersey or Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2Where's that one? Where's that Brian guy from that's on the the floor.
Speaker 1Brian, brian, oh, the clerk's guy. Yeah, yeah, I don't know, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2Well, cause it says he lives in Pennsylvania now and I'm'm trying to figure out if we're going to run into him at a Pittsburgh comedy show or if he oh, I think he does live out by, Probably out by Jersey Philly. That's what I was wondering those guys never leave that area.
Speaker 1If they're from there, they don't ever leave. They love it there. They can't get a good hoagie anywhere else, so they stay. That's why they never leave. What's up, man?
Speaker 3What's up Now? It worked. It had to actually like when you gave me a link earlier this week, I just was able to just click on it and go right through it, but this time I actually had to copy and paste it in. I don't know, that's strange.
Speaker 2Weird.
Speaker 1I don't know. I don't know, but we're definitely recording. I can see the thing at the top now, so we're good. Well, there you go. You don't understand, dude.
Speaker 2Like she was like uh, beside herself for like two days about that well, because I'm an automation specialist at work, like my literal job is to automate health care, and I develop and program and have patents and can't get an app to work in my favor I was frustrated.
Speaker 1I mean that tracks that sounds about right I'm sorry.
Speaker 3No, I know what it feels like, like when I when I was gonna quietly quit doing comedy and I was gonna like, well, I'm gonna take all the stuff I've had from 2019, which is a lot of good stuff and then, like when my hard drive said, hey, there's something wrong, can we fix it? And so I just like yes, and then I did that. It wiped everything away and and I was like beside myself for two weeks like, okay. So I started looking through other hard drives nothing, nothing, nothing. And then I finally found a bag of old stuff and there was some SD cards in there and I looked in through it and I was like, oh, this is stuff from like 2011 to 2015. Like, oh, well, that's all I got, this is what I used. And I just patched work together and put out that self-produced album which I hate so much. I hate it. But uh, I'm proud of my special. But, like that thing, it was just cobbled together.
Speaker 3I always take a joke. Oh, hey, people laugh at this one. All right, there we go. All people laugh at this joke. I'm gonna play right beside that one. I'm just snipping it all together. That's why it's's called Bits and Pieces, but yeah, when can you find that one?
Speaker 3at when do I find it? At what do you mean? Where do I find it For the album?
Speaker 2Where can I find the album if I want to go check it out?
Speaker 3Spotify, itunes, I think it's on YouTube as well, but music stuff. I think they made a channel for me. I think I found it like. I try to connect it with my. Oh yeah, I did. I try to connect with my actual youtube account but some reason they won't work with each other, for whatever reason. So, but there's two different accounts. But yeah, you can find it on there. It's stuff you guys never even heard. There are some darks, there's some very dark stuff in that. That was early years. There was like a cancer joke about kids and stuff. I was like it's stuff I don't do now, so it's pretty dark that's funny.
Speaker 3Now I definitely have to check it out I'd say please don't, but you're gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 1So yeah, I mean but it doesn't bother me like I, you can ask her like I.
Speaker 3I I mean, it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 1You can ask her. I mean, it doesn't bother me in the least.
Speaker 3I was just going to say I have 206 Spotify followers from this horrible album which I'm like I want to get this special on there. And that's been a battle, I think I told you guys last time. They told me that spoken word comedy albums every track has to be above three minutes and I was like, okay, well, why didn't my Bits and Pieces album? That's because I labeled it something else and that's why it works. I have tracks in there that are like 30 seconds. I was like, well, that one worked, why didn't this one work? So then I just got word from them yesterday. They're like, well, you're going to have to delete every single thing that you did. You know you can find this album. It's on Amazon and a bunch of places. It's everywhere, but Spotify, my special as far as the audio goes. So like I'm going to have to delete it all and start from scratch and they're giving me a rebate to start over again. So at least they're doing that. Oh, that's good again. So, at least they're doing that.
Speaker 1but oh, that's good, yeah, it's it's the trials and tribulations man, with all this stuff. Yeah, that's exactly right that's what I tried to tell her. I was like listen, I was like he'll understand. I was like it's shit happens, it's out, it's, it's, it's over.
Speaker 2Now we can't get it back if only there were people who would do this for us.
Speaker 3I don't know that would be lovely. I would love to have a producer and everything else like that. You know, doing these things. I had an idea for a podcast was gonna be called reaching, where it'd just be like the title of it or the pitch would be here's me and here's everybody else and I'm talking to these people I have no business talking to.
Speaker 3It's called reaching, so that was the idea we tried to find people to do like, to do it like comedians, other people, and nobody ever got back to us. So, uh, that is still uh ground zero.
Speaker 2So you're still reaching.
Speaker 3I'm trying and maybe someone will say yes, it'll be my one and only guest, it'll be my only episode, and then that'll be it that show that's on HBO Max.
Speaker 1It's called the Rehearsal no, I've not seen that well, if you ever, if you get a chance, check it out because it is. They're getting ready to release a new season, but like the first season is I mean it is. If you like Nathan Pugh, you'll like it. Because season is I mean it is if you like nathan for you, you'll like it, because it is so ridiculous. So basically is what it is is like he sets it up so people can rehearse a moment in their life before like it happens, and like the lengths that he goes to to like make this happen is just ridiculous and it's funny it's it is.
Speaker 1It's it's bizarre to watch. You're like, but it's cool, Like you it's. It's one of those things you're like. What am I watching? I don't even know, but I like it.
Speaker 3No, I get it. I don't hear that one episode where he had a girl tell him I love you over and over again, just so he could get emotional and cry. Oh my god, I laughed at it.
Speaker 1I couldn't stop watching it. No, I know that's how that show is. You're not exactly sure what it is, but you can't turn away. You're like this is too weird. I don't know what made me think about that.
Career Twists: AMC Writing and SNL Opportunities
Speaker 3But no, no, I I didn't have a. I have a sketch character I used to do, called um peaches and stitches. It was me and my wife's uh pink bathrobe with uh weird cap on my head, and my lover was this fake dead Halloween hand called Stitches.
Speaker 3So I would talk in a voice like hi everybody, I would just talk like that. I did an episode of him trying to create a peanut butter sandwich. I did an episode where he's trying to do suicide prevention but it ends up trying to kill himself in the end. Oh my God, weird stuff. And people ask for it. In fact, whenever I used to be with um issues entertainment, people requested I come out in public and do it. So after one of the shows uh, the comedy stand comedy shows I did a q a as peaches and like people stayed. I thought the whole it was like sold out, like 120 people and I thought for sure no one's gonna stick around for this. All came around to see this weird. I only did two videos with the guy, but yet it was so weird that people stuck around for it. I don't know.
Speaker 1That's interesting, though. I mean it's weird what people respond to sometimes, I think.
Speaker 3I know I've only ever done it twice. Missy's like oh, by the way, my wife wanted to say she wanted me specifically to say this to you hey.
Speaker 2Hey, I do want to give her a shout out. That's why I said shout out to your stylist, which you said you did some of. But real recognizes real, that's what I'm going to say. Real recognizes real, that's what I'm going to say. And behind every four-year-old stand-up comic is a badass bitch that's encouraging them. So did she actually in the early years, did she record a lot of your stuff for you? Yeah?
Speaker 3Prior to kids. It was a lot of fun too. I mean, not having kids was bad. I'm not saying it killed everything, but right, right, like in the earlier years when it was just the two of us, like, yeah, she, we went everywhere, we had a blast doing stuff. Uh, she recorded all my sets. We watch them and get feedback. Like, if you early years versus now, I in the early years I was more um a lot. I was all over the place. I was very physical, with my body on stage, doing all kinds of voice impersonations. I would get in the floor and do stuff. I was very out there, man. And then now you see, you guys see me now I'm just very I stand still, I'm tactical and I just say what I want to say. But, like, the early years was not like that, it was completely different.
Speaker 2So that was one of the things that you and I talked about after we watched the special. Was that, um, on the special, you were so natural, so comfortable, and sometimes during the open mics, I feel like you're a little more rigid, and I'm not sure why. Because you're just like naturally funny, just be yourself. No, listen to me, give an advice, I'm just saying Be yourself.
Speaker 3No, no, no, Because the open, like I'm doing so much new material and I get so nervous, so nervous with that stuff, it comes off not so natural with doing that and I don't feel comfortable. I'm outside myself like I still have never gotten used to like when I do all brand new of the up and mics, gotten used to like that feeling, oh well, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I just still get so concerned and so worried and I just become natural like it isn't a special, you know it, just I.
Speaker 2I I'm trying to break from that, but but I mean, it's what allows you to get to that point where you are natural too, so you refine it until you feel comfortable. I get it. I I watch you guys. I see now I'm joking, but I mean, um, yeah, like I, after we did the the episode on Saturday, I was like I could envision you being like the host of a show, not just like stand up, but I can see you on, like I mean, some people don't screen test.
Speaker 3Well, I feel like you would screen test well no, I, I could see that took acting classes and, uh, junior high school and college. In my college class, the teacher I was just doing it as a general education class and she pulled me aside and she was like you need to do this, you have the charisma, you have the humor, you need to go for this.
Speaker 3And I was like nah, and I didn't do it and like three years later I went and started doing stand-up comedy. But yeah, he encouraged me to do it. We had a cool scene with my scene partner, a guy named Brian McPhee. We are supposed to bring humor and then the humor slowly descends into tension and anger and we get into a fight. And I was sick at the time so I couldn't practice a lot with him. So we kind of just did it dry cold, for it was our final exam for that class and did it kind of cold, but like it felt more natural because we actually got into those faces, threw each other to the ground and got physical and she's like nobody in our class has ever done anything like that.
Speaker 3So I I enjoy doing that and I know I would test. Well someone ever gives me a chance Um that sounds like your FFA story, babe.
Speaker 2Like Scott Reed, I have to differentiate the Scots. So Scott Reed has a history of public speaking and competitive public speaking as well, um, and he has like a champion story behind it. It's not a champion story.
Speaker 1It's not a champion story, it's just in high school I did like competitive, like public speaking for like FFA and different things. You know what I mean, and I was just really good at it. That's why I told her I just learned it at early age how to bullshit adults, and not the same as like lying to them. I mean you can learn a lot, but like to just really bullshit them Like I just was really good at that. So they were all like you're so good at this.
Speaker 3Let me ask you do you remember what your first joke ever was? Do you remember Like, not even comedy, but like going back? You remember what it was?
Speaker 1Yeah, oh, I definitely so, I definitely do. So this was this. The joke itself will date itself. So you know, swatch watches, right? So they just put Swiss and watch together and came up with Swatch. Well, how lucky are we Americans that Croatians didn't invent a watch, because when they make it the crotch and think about the situations that will put you in, you'd be like what time is it? I don't know, let me check my crotch, or what? Um, I had another tag there, and then the last one was um, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. So I mean, but that that I was probably like 13 or something like that.
Speaker 3When I wrote that, but that I was probably like 13 or something like that. When.
Speaker 2I wrote that that's awesome dude.
Speaker 3That's great. You had a lot, so it's a twofer. Uh, my first joke I ever told like I kept a private log of jokes when I was in like grade school, but when I got to junior high my first spoken theme was this girl who made phrases. We had a gym teacher who looked like um, richard's or not? Oh, what's his name? Oh, not, richard sim. Yeah, richard simmons, he's, he's, he's the, the fitness yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, he looked like richard simmons.
Speaker 3He had that big afro, the tight shorts and everything like that going way up. So his his name, um, was mr sankey. And so this girl in the class, uh, was putting on her makeup and everything. And the teacher said, uh told her to put that way, you're not supposed to do that. And I just said out loud it's because she's getting ready for mr sankey and like that, just so. That was my first hey. And the teacher laughed at it and she's like, okay, no more from you. And I was like, oh my god, if I can make a teacher laugh, I can get away with it.
Speaker 3You know, that was that's what that taught me um, yeah my first actual joke, joke though, that I actually thought of to write down, there's never. When george wb bus was president, he choked on a roll gold pretzel. Do you guys remember that? Yeah, yeah, I do so. He choked on a roll gold pretzel pretzel. Do you guys remember that? Yeah, yeah, I do so. He choked on a roll-gold pretzel and the Secret Service had to save him.
Speaker 3And my joke went do you imagine if, like I was telling my friends, imagine if, like he died, we'd learn about all the greats that died in office? You have JFK assassinated, you have Abraham Lincoln assassinated, george W Bush pretzeled and that and that was. That was all. I think I was geez, 14, maybe 15, when that happened. So then, and then I had a I would take in school. Um, I did it my a lot of times. I almost got in trouble. I thought I was gonna get expelled at one point for this.
Speaker 3But, um, I would take those informational tablets or books of like drinking and heroin and marijuana, and I would write jokes and all of them and like, add tags to them all the time and, like you, got around to the school to like, teachers were wanting to know who is writing these things, these books like that and I had to take them all and hide them Cause I was afraid someone would look. Compare my writing with this. Like Kelly, scott, kelly, but anyways, um. Someone would like compare my writing with this like kelly it's got kelly, but anyways, um. So yeah, there's. There's that, and I wrote a very um at age 10.
"Word of Mouth" Special and Production Challenges
Speaker 3I wrote a very dark and perverted story about all my friends growing up and it was like full of masturbation jokes and stuff like that and I still have it and I share it during COVID. I share it to some of my friends. They're like oh my God, you still have this. We all laugh about it. It's so like. They're like you're so sick, scott, I've heard a 10-year-old write this stuff. You're like in a room with no windows and no ventilation, they're masturbating. They died for too much 10 year old writing this.
Speaker 2So meanwhile, we can't release some of scott reed's parody songs for the same reason, um they're about molesting children and well, for some reason.
Speaker 1So like I always am writing like little parody songs and but when I was probably like 18, 19, I worked at Cracker Barrel in the kitchen and me and the other dishwashers were just like would make up these songs and it would be like so you know the song Unforgiven by Metallica? Yeah, so you know the song Unforgiven by Metallica? Yeah. So boys I've felt, boys I've known, never touch them once they're grown, and it goes on, you know from there. But like, for some reason, I don't know why we were, we were basically writing these like parody rock songs, as if they were like Michael Jackson trying to get kids or something, and we just all thought they were hilarious. But now have a ton of these and I like sing them at inappropriate times.
Speaker 3I try to make people laugh all the inappropriate times yeah, no, we had a song my one, buddy james, when he lived here back in 2010 and 2011. I got his place. He could play guitar and I could play guitar and we would just jam and just write these dirty, stupid songs, like one was like called binky connor sword he's not here, no more, because he couldn't touch those boys anymore and just just weird, random stuff. Like you did, we just write these weird things that just made no sense. Song called gay dracula never was like that.
Speaker 1It was just I had written. So when I was in 7th or 8th grade, I don't know if you remember, Steve Martin had a book and it was just all these short stories, cruel shiz. Yes, I do, I have it and it's just short stories about weird shit, just really random stuff.
Speaker 1And so I was like I could, I could write like that. So I wrote a whole book and my English teacher would let me read these in front of the class. How she ever let me like, I'll never know, because there was all kinds of just disgusting stuff in there, but it just. It's so weird when you're a kid, the shit you write.
Speaker 3Do you remember back in the early 90s that Timmy the Tooth, that mascot to prevent tooth decay? Yeah, so in sixth grade I did a essay with a friend of mine about Timmy the Tooth, because they were supposed to write about tooth decay and some other things like that, everybody was supposed to write their own version. So I concocted this crazy story that was just full of hilarity and just so sarcastic about tooth decay and I really you really want gingivitis and all this stuff like that. And I read it in front of the whole class. All the students were laughing. And then, when we were done, the teacher told us to come out of the classroom and she ripped us a new one. How we made a mockery of like, because they would, if you remember, they would have that special dental person that would come by your school and talk to you.
Speaker 3So they were coming to hear what we wrote about teeth Woman. You made a mockery of to meet the tooth. You made a mockery of tooth decay. We got in a huge trouble for that.
Speaker 1That is just great. So just based on these stories you're telling, so like were you like one of the class clowns.
Speaker 3I was just always kind of cutting up I was a quiet class clown, I would say something when I wanted to say it, but otherwise I wasn't the active one, like the active ones wanted the attention constantly. I'm just not about right even my own life, I'm not about competing with that kind of stuff. You want that attention, man? Just you go for it. Like I'll say my stuff when I want to say it, but I'm not gonna be constantly 24 7. Look at me, look at me, look at me you know right?
Speaker 1no, that's exactly what I would say like how I was, like I wasn't like I always was trying to be funny you know what I mean like for my friends and stuff like that, but like I wasn't like acting out like trying to draw attention to myself either.
Speaker 3So I would say the most would probably be 10th, 11th and 12th grade during lunch times, every single day. I was constantly which I didn't know it back then, but I was constantly practicing stand-up routines. I would just make up jokes and topics on the fly. I would do roast jokes about all the students around us and trying to make crack my friends up. My goal was a way to can I get somebody spit out something from their mouth, so all lunch periods from 10th to 11th and 12th makes sense.
Speaker 1I'd start going into comedy at some point no, I know that's kind of how I feel, like that's it feels like something that I was always definitely going to try at some point, for sure it sucks that we all started like so late too, you know so late, yeah, you know so late in life. Yeah, it's like, well, I mean, that's that's, that's that's the way life goes. It's always hindsight, of course it would have been better to you know. Yeah, really start giving it an effort much younger, but what can you do?
Speaker 3Cut your teeth at 18 through the comedy crowd scene there and then work your way up. No, I just want to be an Altoona Pennsylvania and start trying when I'm 27. I just want to do it that way. I think that's the best way.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2I mean, a lot of great comics didn't start until they were older. Tim Allen's not a great stand-up as far as I'm concerned, but he's a great comedic actor, right. And he didn't start until he was in his 40s, right.
Speaker 1No, no, he was younger than that. He was doing stand-up, probably in his late 20s.
Speaker 3The Santa Claus movie he was 35, which man we always talk me and Missy always talk all the time. Like these people back then look so much older for their ages, man.
Speaker 1Oh, we say it all the time.
Speaker 2Maybe it's better that none of y'all started early, because you get to grow into your looks naturally and not get aged by the Hollywood scene.
Speaker 3And maybe all the stress that comes with it, stress of parenting. I definitely got peppered hair now because of parenting, like we'll say that holy cow.
Speaker 2I think that came overnight, so it's horrible so do you think that your kids, do your kids show like a comedic sense to them? Do you think that they'll want to get into it?
Speaker 3yeah, they both do. My oldest one actually, uh, the week his birthday. Back in last week of february he for his school's talent show. He did stand-up comedy.
Speaker 1So really, that's awesome that's awesome.
Speaker 3We, we, I, he. So he had three minutes. He didn't want to write. I made him write one joke that was just his Like that and the rest we pulled from online, like that, that was safe and everything. And then we practiced them and he did great. He did wonderful. Everybody was laughing. It was great. I had them recorded. So it's his first set.
Speaker 1That's too cool. That's too cool.
Speaker 3Was that like?
Speaker 1one of your more favorite parent moments.
Speaker 3I was so proud of him for doing it. He just wanted to be like daddy. He said that's awesome.
Speaker 1That's so awesome.
Speaker 3He wants to watch my special. I'm like, no, you can't watch the special, sorry, buddy.
Speaker 2No, is there any? Your kids are younger. There's probably not anybody out there right now that they can watch. Is there Nate, maybe?
Speaker 3I think I tried to show him. I think it was one of Jim Gaffigan's early specials. Really, it wasn't really much yeah, gaffigan's good. His later stuff now is darker. I don't know if you guys watch him. His newer stuff he has gotten darker.
Speaker 1He has gotten darker. And I love jim gaffigan. I think he's fantastic and we actually he was the first, like famous comedian, that we went to see. Like you know what I mean like a big time national headliner. He was the first one that we went to see. That was probably like what, 2010 or something like that. Oh wow, and that was in Baltimore. That was. That was really good he was. He was really really cool.
Speaker 3It's awesome. Yeah, our first. My first one's Louis CK, and that was 2011. I believe it was Speaking of Louis CK, did?
Speaker 1you see, he's going to be at Harrisburg Comedy Zone on Sunday.
Speaker 3I didn't saw that, but I heard the tickets were sold out?
Speaker 1Yeah, I imagine. So that place, I mean it can only hold, you know, so many. I don't want to make connections.
Speaker 3I can't get in the green room. I don't have any connections up there.
Speaker 2You will, though no, no, weren't you on the show with lennon?
Speaker 1no, you weren't on that show. Yeah, he was on there oh yeah I don't know.
Speaker 3I don't know him well enough for him to do me a solid, though right for you to be like hey, I don't know him that well enough. Yet I had him one time. We got along backstage we talked and everything. So yeah he's, I like this stuff.
Speaker 1So yeah, he's very funny. Let me ask you this this brings us to something that we were talking about last time, me and her. Um. So you put up that post about like people have people really ask you for money. Are you being serious about?
Family Reactions to Comedy and Religious Upbringing
Speaker 3that next time that happens I I will actually, because I've been just deleting them, blocking them, but next time it happens I'm gonna actually take a screenshot and share it, because some people are like that's not true, that didn't happen, like no, it's genuinely happening. People are asking me.
Speaker 2It's just so hard to believe like I mean I believe you, but it just, it's mind-blowing we were talking about all the scenarios we were like. First of all, what kind of people does Scott know Right?
Speaker 1Second of, all, wasn't Scott Davison asking for tracksuit money?
Speaker 3No, no, no. The one that was like hey, man, it's literally. I wrote verbatim, if you look in the comments I commented to somebody verbatim what someone did write to me and said hey, man, life is special. It didn't even spell special, Just spell it special it special. He's like you got any money for diapers? I'm like okay, uh, I'm, I'm ghosting you, ghosting you, man. No. And another person wrote one other people I can recall wrote to me. He's like I loved your special. It's making you millions. I'm sure. He's like hey, I got a u-haul of my right now. Can you help pay for my U-Haul fees? Who are you? They're all local people in this town that I must have came across somehow and a friend requested me but like yeah, that makes it even more fun.
Speaker 2I'll tune in people. What in the world? Like I just can't imagine. Like I'm well, I guess I can say it. We swear on here. Who has the balls to do that? Like I want to meet these people that A have the balls. But I know from being on TikTok that there are lots of people that will be like sure here have $10. And if they dupe enough of them, it adds up. There's a whole family of people that have been sponsored by TikTok for probably the last year. They have seven kids among the both of them. The one doesn't pay child support. They got evicted. They have cats running all over over the place, they don't have beds for the kids and people send them like twenty thousand dollars a month just for them being on tiktok as an, as an artist.
Speaker 3This is where I start to cry, you know. Oh, really great, okay, great right like how do you put?
Speaker 2a price on my talent when people are getting shit for free?
Speaker 3I'm so happy for them. Yes, that is a sticking point for me, this topic, these people who don't have the talent. They're getting all this money and while the rest of us that struggle are trying to create content, create talent, get nothing. I saw a video where this guy was just like huh young man, dolphins, and that was all.
Speaker 3The video was 3.5 million views and lots of followers. What the hell? I'm gonna start doing stuff like this. I'm gonna start forgetting my rest of my stand-up. I'm gonna start doing random things where I say random stuff outside my yard and like maybe a weird robe or something like that, and then I'll just go viral. This is what's going to happen.
Speaker 1Yeah, that actually sounds like a good idea. Like that does sound funny.
Speaker 2I might know a guy. He puts an American flag on as a cape and wears a American flag bandana and red sunglasses and he says I'm your daddy to everybody and he had a million followers but he pissed somebody off when they took his account.
Speaker 3You know what? I'll tell you the truth here. So when I did my Elf I don't know if I can express this on the last time I did an Elf on the Shelf Christmas song back in 2016. Make fun of it. There was a video for it. It lasted until this past Christmas season where the owners of Elf on the Shelf contacted me and then gave me a cease and desist. I had to tear down the song and the music video and everything else like that. So that was. That was on an album that I had. It was called Scott Kelly Presents the Christmas album. It was just a bunch of random things I had like sketches and stuff on there and I never really I never made any money actually off of that song.
Speaker 3But what I did make money off of was a 30 second clip I did called senate clause pooping on the toilet and it was just him having a hard time taking a shit, and so he's like, oh, oh, oh. He starts like that and as he's going along, it's like oh oh, oh again.
Speaker 3And that one had made me 80 dollars. That thing and that's the one that's, that's the, that's the thing that sold off of that album. And I was like that's the reason I was bummed about taking that album off wasn't because the elf in the shelf is because, well, there went my money for that thing, because, like it was part of that album, I had to tear it all down. So, wow again, you never know what people are going to gravitate towards. It was like one that it was last minute addition to the album.
Speaker 1I thought this is so silly and stupid, but it made my kids laugh so I'm just gonna throw it on, and that was the thing that hit so that's crazy it sounds like the stories that you hear, like you you know, like I don't know how big of a music fan you are, but like you always heard stories of like oh, we just threw that on the album and then that ended up being like the I can, the reason I'm the black Sabbath they talk about paranoid. They wrote in five minutes and threw it on as an afterthought and then that was ended up being, you know, the biggest hit off that album.
Speaker 3Yeah, no, I'm a huge. I have, like I think, 38,000 songs I actually own. It's on my phone. I don't do Spotify because I own everything, but yeah, I'm a huge music fan, Very huge Music movies.
Speaker 2What's your favorite genre? Can you even pick one of you?
Speaker 3in that many songs. Yeah, I would say more of the punk rock metal scene is more along the lines where most of my stuff goes, and I also like emo music too. I grew up in that emo time frame, all those people talking about feelings, about girls and acoustic songs. So I'm all, I'm just.
Speaker 1This is a vinyl copy of the Black Parade. My chemical romance, oh no, it's like my it's. It is awesome. It's like it's.
Speaker 2The artwork is so cool so when we met you guys at the house for the first time the other week, um, I was teasing when you guys went up to look at your ghostbuster room that you were kind of come down and do the scene from stepbrothers because you legitimately like all the same things I know I said that's what my wife was like.
Speaker 3I think we just became best friends. Yeah, I was like, no, you point out the Psych poster and everything else in there. I was like, oh my God, you like this stuff too. Like it's so rare. I don't find people. I found people like Ghostbusters, but I haven't found anyone else that likes Psych, so that was unusual. No, I know it's crazy.
Speaker 1Like my brother loved it and he's the one that turned me on to it and then I turned her on to it later. She hated it at first, but then it wore on her, I did, and she's like. Then she finally like, one day she like got it and she's like oh okay, like this I get it.
Speaker 2So the mentalist is my like. I do like psych, but I like the mentalist more because I'm a brainiac, I'm a nerd, like I'm nerdy, and I'm also very much a psychological person. And in the Mentalist I've learned a lot of tips and tricks on how to catch people lying, how to read faces. I study people all the time. So that's, I do like psych, though. It's funny, it's fun. But I like a little more in-depth learning with my murders, okay.
Speaker 3Yeah, I just like Psych because it shuts your brain off. It's fun, it's silly and it's calming, so that's why I've enjoyed it.
Speaker 1What's your favorite Gus nickname?
Speaker 3Oh, my god, oh crap, hang on a second. It's um, don't be, don't be the Black Eye and Thompson twins. I think that's the one because, because, uh, I think that's the one I like because a lot of people would catch reference to that because, like, they're supposed to be twins but they're not twins, you know.
Speaker 1I think my favorite is probably when uh, uh sh dynasty, that's sh comma up top. Dynasty and gus is like that's god's comma yeah yes, we are huge fans.
Speaker 3Like I said to you, we're. We're probably start our fifth rewatch here. Uh, probably in may some some point, because that'll take us all the way to the holiday season. And then I'll watch the Halloween episodes of Psych and everything which they have. Quite a few, most of them were written by James Reday. The Halloween episodes Most of them were all written by him.
Speaker 3The Friday the 13th one's my personal favorite. Actually, that's where we started. We went in 2009 when they did that remake of friday 13th and we went in the theaters to see it. Came home that night and I was turned on usa network. I'm like saw a preview coming up for a tv show called psych isn't there. I didn't even know there was three seasons yet at this point and some spoof on the friday 13th. Like, oh, we just saw the movie, let's just check this out and we watched it and we laughed hysterically. This is awesome. And then we watched the series season finale, which was the um the yane episode, the first yane episode and then we were just hooked from there. So we went, went and rented the first two seasons from um hollywood video.
Speaker 3You know back in the day when you would rent videos, so oh, yeah so we rented them from there and and then we watch it every year since.
Speaker 2after that, I was talking about the episode that you said about the Halloween episode, because that's one of the things that we do is all of our favorite shows during the holidays. We pick out all of the seasonal episodes and watch them specifically.
Speaker 3For Christmas and Halloween. We do it for all the shows we like. We'll pick them out and watch the season episodes. Yes, yes, I got a huge office fan. We'll watch the office parks and rec. Um, we'll watch all those ones. Um, I can't think of that what else right now? But there's more. We, we check out and watch. So, yeah, we, we did the same rest. You guys did the same thing. Did you ever watch the show the new girl? Yeah, oh, yeah, I have that too. I bought that. Yeah, I like the new girl.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, that's very funny. Yeah, we like that a lot. They have a lot of good seasonal you know episodes too.
Speaker 3No, they do If we haven't watched. Did I ever tell you that I got hired to write for a show on AMC? Did I tell you guys about that? No, you told us the.
Speaker 1SNL story, which I do want you to retell.
Speaker 2Because I didn't want to get too much repetitive of what we talked about last time, because we could talk about anything, I think, and it's good content. But I think I love the SNL story, so if you don't mind, like weaving that into, but I do want to hear about amc too well, it tracks, but it's the same year, so, um, so that was.
Speaker 3So that was 2013 and we thought everything was it's gonna be magical that year. So, um, that was the height of the walking dead. On amc, a friend of mine pitched my idea to apparently AMC to do. It's called the Riffing Dead. It was basically like Mystery Science Theater 3000, but making fun of the Walking Dead. Oh, that's good. So he's like I want you to write the first season or, excuse me, first episode of season one. I'm like, okay, so I wrote it and everything I did, all my fun, sarcasm and everything else, making fun of every scene and things are coming up and they liked it so much.
Speaker 3I got hired then to write the finale of season one. I was the only writer to do that. And then I got asked to come down and voice record. Like he asked me if I could do voices and I did some voices and stuff like that. The original he's like, yeah, come down, do some voices. So I did that, I recorded myself and everything and I was like, oh my God, this is going to actually happen. And then he gets into a car accident and he breaks his back. He comes out a month-long journey, wants to marry the girl he's with and just start kids and not do this path, and he shut everything down. So that happened Wow, that's crazy. So that was that. Wow, that's crazy. That door got shut and then that was earlier in 2013.
Speaker 3So later in 2013, my wife got a chance to well, she acted as my agent. My wife acted as my agent to contact Saturday Night Live and we weren't sure if anyone was going to call us. And this guy actually called us back and he allowed us to apply as a writer and I was like this is amazing. And then I like I saw I started working my packet and everything for them. And like a month later I asked my wife. I was like I wonder if you could call him back and like can I apply as a cast member? And so she called and he's like, yeah, just make a dvd and send it this person. I'm like I said the name because I know the person still working on there. Um, right, so, uh, so I did, which that tape. Like I said last time we talked, I burned that tape. That's gone. The only people who might even have it is snl. It's so god awful. I watched it during COVID and I deleted it, so I did not ever want to see that again. Um, so, yeah, so I I got close.
Reality TV Show Ideas and Project Teases
Speaker 3Um, being hired, I believe, because on Twitter at that time, all the staff that were hired as writers for Saturday Night Live were starting to follow me on Twitter and I was like whoa, this is amazing. I think something might be happening. And then a month went by, heard nothing. I was like I don't think this is a good sign, because they're ready to shoot the season here in two weeks and I have not been told anything. So then we find out the person, because I remember my wife asked and said we're hiring for one more writer spot, and if he's going to get it we'll let you know. I'm for one more writer's spot, and if he's going to get it we'll let you know. So then the premiere of Saturday Night Live that season. The new writer was oh, I forgot his name. Now, I just told you the last time.
Speaker 2Oh, my God, pete Davidson.
Speaker 3Pete Davidson. Thank you, Pete Davidson. So he's the one who got my spot, which honestly, looking back, rightfully so, Because I don't feel I feel like I was biting off more than I could chew back then and I was taking big swings without really having a grounding sense of how to write better, how to work well with others as a collab with writing and stuff like that. So I feel like now would be good, but back then they made the right decision, honestly.
Speaker 1I mean I'm sure they did, but I'm also sure that I mean the task may have been daunting, but I'm sure you probably would have handled it?
Speaker 2yeah, because I think emotionally he was not in the right place to be there either.
Speaker 3So after hearing what I I know now certain things you know that leaked out. Um about him there. Uh, yeah, you'd never know, honestly. Well, heck, Larry David was only there for one season, couldn't get anything on, and then here he goes on to Seinfeld and Curb your Enthusiasm. So you know, things like that happen too, Heck.
Speaker 1David Right absolutely.
Speaker 3David Tell was hired by Siren Live and he couldn't get anything on and he quit. So there's a bunch of writers who couldn't get anything on it, just whatever. It is their humor, their style just didn't translate for SNL and they just, they just left.
Speaker 2How does that work, though? Like did they give you? Did you know enough about the structure? Like I have a really good day job. What if I, like, got accepted to write for them? Do I? Do people even get paid if they're not getting sketches on? Or how does that work?
Speaker 3It's a contract. You sign a contract, I know, for the actual performer it's a five-year contract. Writers I think it's a two or three-year contract, but you're paid like that. They give you time to find a place and stuff like that. Up there You're paid. Whether you get stuff on or not I've never read it before are like that's a daunting thing. When you're not, you feel guilty that you're getting paid a lot of money and then you're not getting anything on. You feel like you're not pulling your weight. I've read about other writers who have struggled so right, I can see that.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean. Well, not only that too, but you just from a perspective. If you're not getting things on there, what good are you to them? You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, it's probably going through your mind. I mean, if you're in that position, is what?
Speaker 2I'm saying I mean for me it would be no different than my regular job. I get paid really good money to come up with new ideas, and so I feel under pressure a lot to come up with new ideas, but my ideas always get pushed through. So maybe I should just stay in healthcare because I'm good at it.
Speaker 1And you know a lot about it.
Speaker 3I'm good at writing too. It's grueling hours. Honestly, You're working third shift, basically at SNL. Everything I've read which I remember Will Ferrell being like there's no reason that you should be doing this anymore. That was a byproduct of the cocaine drug, induced errors with john belushi and everybody else. Now there's no reason to be working third shift, but they do that's when they do their writing, did you?
Speaker 1uh, did you happen to see the? There was like a documentary on peacock. They're about like the writers and stuff like leading up to like the 50th anniversary did you happen to see?
Speaker 3any of those yeah, I did check that out a lot that I knew, because there's a book, uh, tom shells or I forget the name, the writer it's like a big, like 800 page book about the history of snl and everything. I've read that thing. Oh wow, there's a lot of good information behind the scenes stuff that and they go through everything from the actors, writers, wardrobe, everything. They go through everybody's uh like what their jobs were, struggles, guests that weren't that, wow. So, yeah, it seems like notoriously the guest that was the worst was, um, the karate guy, um what under the movie under siege, um, uh, steven Seagal, yes, yes, apparently unanimously, he was the worst person to work with.
Speaker 1Interesting yeah, I can see. Yeah, that's interesting. Steven Seagal yeah, I could see him being a dick for sure, 100% yeah, and thinking that he's too good good for it, or just better than everybody else, or something.
Speaker 2Yeah all right, I'm gonna wrap you guys up. Do you have um? Was there anything we touched on last week that you wanted to bring up again? I mean we.
Speaker 3It was great conversation but, like I said, there's I know we talked about our writing techniques and the comedy scenes. I know there's so much that we could.
Speaker 2I know, you could be a recurring comedy guest if you would like.
Speaker 3Don't totally do it, I love it so.
Speaker 2I do, I do. I'm serious about getting together to to talk about writing, because so Scott and I worked at a place and I'm not going to name it because I will get an immediate cease and desist. I don't know whether or not they're still in existence. They're not. I went into this company and I interviewed for them to become their billing manager for medical office, like a little small medical place. When I tell you that I met the cast of characters. And then they were like, well, they gave me all these tasks and I was like I need an assistant, can I hire my husband? And they were like sure, so they let me hire my husband as my assistant. And then they promoted him to be the manager of the delivery people.
Speaker 1So mind you, we had delivery people, yet we had nothing to deliver because they couldn't afford inventory. We, when you got paid, you would have to hurry up and try to. It was like a mad rush of all the employees trying to get to their bank first to cash their paychecks, because they would get to a certain point and wouldn't be able to cash them. So it was like it was literally like watching, like you know, the Amazing Race or something people trying to get to the bank on Fridays. They had animals, tons of animals roaming through the office Birds fish.
Speaker 2We were a pharmacy, we had a pharmacy in there and an oxygen supply company and we had animals just roaming freely around the building.
Speaker 1Wow, we couldn't cash our paychecks and yet we would have meetings where they're like we're thinking about putting in a gym, or what about a cafeteria? Like, like you can't even pay us. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2gym, like so it's kind of I mean, it's not the office, because it's not the same concept at all, but it's. It's an ensemble cast of wild people that all work at this facility that is, we service nursing homes and doctor's offices and it was the biggest shit show of two years of my life ever. But there's enough characters out of the people that actually work there and enough actual, true content that I've written the first episode.
Speaker 3So I believe when I worked at Sears we had such a crazy amount of people that worked there I don't know. I've even talked about that last time, about my time at sears and now tuna. No, um, there was a guy named mike who came in drunk and he and he I worked in the electronics department and he worked right across from me with like the dishwashers and and refrigerators and stuff like that, the appliances. So he's like scott, I'm gonna take a nap. I'm like mike, where are you gonna go take a nap? At he goes in this dishwasher, he pulls everything out and he just closes it right up everything and like security is like where's mike?
Speaker 3I'm like he's taking a nap in the dishwasher. It's like, oh funny scott. I'm like no, I'm serious, he's taking a nap in the dishwasher. It's like, oh funny Scott. I'm like no, I'm serious, he's taking a nap in the dishwasher. Like okay, funny guy, which one? And I like point to which one it was. And they open it up and now he popped out like a baby deer being born. He was like what the hell man, what the hell. Wow, I love it.
Speaker 2Oh, so we listened to a podcast about, I think the girl worked at maybe it was Walmart in Altoona. It was a couple they met at Walmart in Altoona and she ended up dead. I'll have to look that up. Yeah, I'll have to look it up because it wasn't too too long ago, but it was older than 10 years ago, I'll say that, but I don't know when exactly it was. But yeah, it was something about he worked at the photo department at Walmart, as a matter of fact, I think.
Speaker 3Oh, it says one hour. Photo with Robin Williams here.
Speaker 1I hated that that's a bizarre movie. I still don't know what I think about that movie.
Speaker 3It wasn't the Robin Williams I knew and loved.
Speaker 1And I think that's why people were just so shocked by it. It was like, oh, you want to know what's shocking.
Speaker 3She was so subdued Whenever he died. I was next to go on stage at a comedy show and, as my name gets called, another comic comes up to me and goes Robin Williams just died. And I just walk out. And I walk right out on the stage and I'm just like I just don't know what to do. I'm in shock because he was like I love the guy. So I was like why would you tell me that right before I'm going to go on stage? Why? Oh my God, that was uh, yeah, Lovely moment right there, Wow.
Speaker 2How do you even process that in the moment? Like what the hell.
Speaker 1Besides the asking for money, what's the weirdest thing that's happened since this? With the special release, like with other people, like saying with the special release, like with other people, like you know, kind of like the money thing but like, besides that, anything crazy.
Speaker 3No, no, it actually has been all positive Good For people who actually did give it a chance to check it out and everything. It's been all positive words. Good reviews from it both, either just personally to me or actually they put it up on the actual special on Amazon. Good reviews, uh, from it both, either just personally to me or actually they put them up on, um, the actual special on Amazon. Um, people were surprised by it because they didn't know I was going to be that funny like that. So it's so it's been good. Good for the people who actually have tried it and watched it.
Speaker 1So how do you respond when people say something like that?
Speaker 3They're like you're funnier than I thought you would be. Being fair, a lot of those people saw me in the earlier years when it was dead, right. And then you know you bring your friends out because you have to help fill the crowd and everything, and then you're still so brand new and then you just die a million deaths on the stage and then, yeah, i've'm like I've seen enough. I've seen enough, let's revisit this in like seven, eight years and we'll try it again. You know that kind of thing.
Speaker 1Has anybody like? Has any random person come up to you and be like hey, I saw that, saw you on Amazon?
Speaker 3No, no, nothing with that. Yeah, there, there I was. Do you ever hear um?
Speaker 3out to the complaints department page yeah yeah, I've seen that yeah yeah, so I created that everything and, uh, I don't run it anymore, um, but when I did run it I some people connected the dots. I remember one time I went to kohl's and I couldn't make a coupon to work and the worker helped me and they're like I love the page. I'm like huh, and he's like, oh okay, I know what you're talking about. But yeah, so some people were savvy enough to know I, I was running it and doing it. I did that for a few months and then I would kind of dip in every now and then now with all this stand-up stuff like I'm not doing it. Plus, they created a separate page now to have more writers on. So I'm not even part of that right now. But yeah, it was my creation in the beginning. I created that when it was hopping and going.
Speaker 1Do you still do any skits or anything at all?
Speaker 3no, I have ideas, I just that is. The thing is it's getting the people together, the timing for filming, and then I gotta get somebody. I don't. I used to edit everything but that takes forever to edit because you got even just a fraction of a second means monumental with timing. So I just don't do it and everything like I was going to originally record this special myself and my wife's like get somebody. No, no, I could only imagine like how much nick from mind over Media had to do with editing and making fine tuning. He said what he ran into.
Speaker 3The worst issue he ran into was people popping their cans throughout the special and he's like I have to go through and try his best, he said, to remove the audio part of people popping their cans throughout the whole entire special. He's like I didn't foresee that happening. I didn't either, so yeah.
Speaker 1Note to self if I ever record a special aluminum bottles only.
Speaker 3Yeah, do something like that Note to self from next time. That was the issue For draft beer. Yeah, all the beer and everything, everyone popping their beers and stuff, like that night.
Speaker 1He said you kept hearing it every so many seconds you hear he said got so and that's something that like that's something I don't think you would think about like ahead of time, like you know what I mean like unless you've done it before obviously, but and thankfully, like he mic'd me up too, but but, um, my mic got drained, only out of my hour and 20 minutes only 20 minutes of my set got recorded with the mic so we had to use.
Speaker 3Think of the audio that he set up throughout the night, everything. He doesn't know why he charged it and he doesn't understand why. What happened to mine. It's just some weird thing, I don't know, but like I do feel bad though, because, like because then uh, ridge went up for a little bit there to open and then tony went up and and did some stuff and he brought me out and while I'm waiting for them, like I was going through some stomach like issues at that time, so I was like farting like crazy. So I'm backstage, I just, I forgot I'm mic'd up. I think I'm in the green room on the safe and you just Just rip them.
Speaker 3I realized I probably had to, probably the sixth one. I'm like oh crap, I'm mic'd. I probably shouldn't be doing this so loud for Nick. He's going to hear all this farting. Oh my God.
Speaker 2That's hilarious. They didn't hear it on stage though.
Speaker 3No, no, it, that's hilarious. They didn't hear it on stage though, no, no, it was isolated, just that. Uh, mic there, that and the bat and the recording device I had attached to me. So, yeah, okay, there's all this thing. I was like peeing, I was, I, I farted and I peed and I came back and I started farting more I was, and then that's when it hit me.
Speaker 3I'm just gonna hear all of this, all of this I think I didn't have to go number two before while they were performing. You have heard that one.
Speaker 2Christ, oh my god. So I saw you did put a, a shout out on socials to mind over media and and I said it on the last show just again the production value of the show was amazing. Everything looked so quality. It sounds good and I said it last time, I am quick to turn something off if the production value is low, which is why we're not making a dime off this podcast yet. I'll keep putting money into it until it's perfect, because that's just me. But yeah, that was. Production value on your show is amazing. I like a plus on that and a plus on the comedy content too. It's great.
Speaker 3It was interesting to merge the old world and new world, cause I was using old stuff and I was using new stuff and I was like how do I make this fit and everything with everything? So I was trying to interweave and the final product that people were seeing on Prime Video, out of the 30 some minutes, I would say 15 minutes is old material and 15 minutes is new material merged together. Majority of the new material was the back half of the special where I'm at currently right now, and that stuff didn't make it just because the themes didn't fit. Like, I had a theme of like family kind of going through the special and we realized that in editing and it was Nick's idea. Maybe we should focus on those kind of jokes because it seems to be the theme of the special, like family and that's what you're so OK. So we did that and we did a version of it. The theme of the special like family and that's what you're so okay. So we did that and we did a version of it and I watched it for a little bit, sat with it for two weeks, watched it again. Like you know what I like, this version, like that, and unfortunately, the people who are at the taping.
Speaker 3That night their favorite jokes were like in the other areas the halloween section, the religion, sleeping, yeah they're all these other bits I have're like. Those were some of my favorite ones. I couldn't. The Halloween section was eight minutes long. The religion section is nine and a half minutes long. If I put them together that's a huge chunk of a half hour special. So like I had to pick, like other stuff.
Speaker 1Now you talk about religion there. Now you grew up like your parents were religious right. Yeah parents were religious. Right, yeah they're. They're religious. I grew up mormon and everything um. Are they still like really?
Speaker 3religious. Oh yeah, yeah, they're very. They're still very religious. Um what?
Speaker 1do they think about like your? Do they watch your comedy at all? Like do they did? What do they think about it?
Speaker 3um, so my brother told me off the record he's like they accidentally saw, because I actually I didn't know it was on my dad's amazon account and I bought my own special so I can get the streams and from it and it was on their account, I bought it. So my dad's like what's this? I didn't buy this, I didn't buy it. Oh my god watching. And my brother said they did not make it that far and they turn it. So yeah, um, I'm definitely not a fan of the things I say and do on the stage, though I can say that.
Speaker 1Um now I feel that because, like my mom is very religious and she came to the railroad, I'll tune up to the railroad museum and that was the first time that she's seen me done any comedy and like I could sense her disapproval in some things just because she's like such a prude.
Speaker 3Oh man, they. They originally wanted to come, and uh, to the taping and everyone swayed them. Please don't, don't. And I would have been so nervous if they woke up, if I would see my parents sitting in front of watching me say these words in front of them. Granted, you know, at that I'm 39 now, I was 38 last year. It doesn't matter, I'm 38, it's still a fact of. Like they view you a certain way and because and I don't, I don't know, it's just weird for them to see that version of you slowly dip into like wait a second. Is there there, this other side we don't know about.
Speaker 1Well, on the opposite side, to like my dad and my stepmother, they've, they've, we've shown them all kinds of video. My dad's the one that, like, pretty much like introduced me to most of the comedians and stuff that I knew as a kid. So like, yeah, he very much didn't care. Like, so, he's like, he knows what I say. He's not like, they don't sweat at all about it. So it's just my mom, really, and God help if my grandmother would ever hear or see it. My mom was like, oh, I wanted to bring Grandma Flickle. I'm like, no, no, don't, she can't handle it. If you say shit, she's not like my grandparents are dead.
Speaker 3I don't. She can't handle it if you say shit, she's not like my grandparents are dead, so I don't have to worry about that. Maybe judging toes? Yeah, she's my last.
Speaker 1She's the last grandparent I have and I'm like just leave, just leave.
Speaker 2Just let her think I'm an angel.
Speaker 3Yep. Wouldn't it be horrible if she came and saw you and then that night she passed away?
Speaker 1That's it. She's like I just can't take it. It's. I never expected that.
Speaker 3Or, even worse, during during your set oh my God, can you imagine? Like Sanford and Son, I'd never be able to show my face at Thanksgiving again. Yeah.
Speaker 1Like you killed grandma. One other question I had was so now that you have a special, does that influence moving forward? Are you going to try to have all new stuff or are you going to still mix in some of that stuff? What's your plan there?
Speaker 3I'm still going to write new stuff. I'm going out tomorrow night to mcgarvey's bar. I got about 10, 12 new minutes and we I'm going to try out. Oh cool, keep trying that out for other places and see what's working, what's not working. I'm always going to write new stuff. Um, because I did an hour and 20 something. I only use 33 on the special, so I still have a backload of stuff I can use for sure, um, but even then I'm still gonna tinker with that old, that stuff that I worked on, like there's a bit about, um, uh, like when my dog passed away. And then there's there's lines I thought I've written since then I think are even better, tags some kind of.
Speaker 3I didn't use that in the special, the final versions I thought better, even the religious section. There was one joke I was hung up on, couldn't figure it out. I said it anyways at the taping. It didn't work and I knew it wouldn't. I remember I commented on it and then the rest of the works joke. But since then I found the version that works now. So I'm glad I didn't use that too, because there's just some minor bits and pieces, um, through the ones I didn't use that I was able to fix since then and they work now, so I'm glad I, I love when old stuff comes back around.
Speaker 1You know what I mean when something you shelved, then you finally just magically find and you're like oh my god, this is like where this belong this whole time, and it's like there's a I remember Sam Morrell talked about on the we might be drug podcast.
Speaker 3You talk about how you know, the younger version writer of me at that time couldn't handle this. The older version of me now, the more experienced writer, can handle it and I know what to do and I get that Right. You look at the topics and things you try to say back then and you're like I remember I have a list of like all these premises and setups and everything like that, but no punch lines. And now I can look back then like, okay, I see a punch line, punch line, I can do it now. But you know, and there's stuff right for sure now that I don't know where the punch lines are.
Speaker 1and maybe two years from now, as a better writer, I'm like, ah, there it is, you know right yeah, I just, I, I just always love that feeling when you can pull something back out Like you're like I didn't think this worked at all, or whatever, and then, lo and behold, like you realize how it works, and then it's like that's always cool.
Speaker 2Yeah, I have like a whole novel written somewhere in the basement that I pulled it out a couple years ago and re-looked at it and I'm like that was a young person writing that I can fix it. But I just don't right now. That's not my passion. So one of these days, if I need to make money, I'll pull it out. But I love, I love reviving the old stuff like old stuff even. We were just talking earlier about a joke that he does about um being taken to a nudist camp when he was younger and that's legit a true story. But I'm so glad he didn't do it when his mom was in town because I would have threw up because it was her that did it oh yeah, that's.
Speaker 3You know. That's a great thing about writing too. Like even the special. There's nuggets of truth to every single story and things I talk about. Even now, all the stuff I say there's nuggets of truth somewhere in there, you know.
Speaker 1Sure.
Speaker 3Depending on what it is, it may be very embellished, or sometimes it's toes in line with people, 50 being so true and 50 being a little bit something else, you know, um, yeah oh, 100.
Speaker 1Yeah, I totally that's what I always say. Like there's always I mean, some jokes are more true than others, but like there's always like a kernel of truth at least in there, of like you know how this joke came about, mike well, you hear tony winchcliffe say that all the time like you should have led with that, because that's funny.
Speaker 3That's true, that's why it's funny yeah, and my new closer no one knows about you, I'm working on it and people who know the story, like I uh, back in january a friend, ethan, of mine, was at mcgarvey's bar and I only think I did five minutes. I was like, well, I'm done. And they're like, already You're done. I'm like, yeah, I'm good. He's like tell the Sheetz story. I was like there's no punchlines, it's just a story. He goes, tell it as is. It's funny, as is. So the quick version of this. A friend of mine stole his dad's Playboy and we realized you can get these from Sheetz once a month. So we started taking turns stealing them and it was my turn and I was so nervous and they were just like, just when you walk in, all you got to do is use your peripherals, grab from the shelf, pull in, pull up your shirt, put it down and just walk right out. So I did that. I got caught.
Speaker 3What I stole was a playgirl. So the manager takes me back and really she's kind of sweet about it. She was like, how long have you been.
Speaker 3I was like just recently, I like these things and I have no clue, because I didn't know they made versions of this for guys. And I had no clue because I didn't know they made versions of this for guys. So she's like right, all these questions you know about, like you know, do you want me to call your parents or do you want me to call police? I said no, no, no, my dad, if he found out, he'd be so horrible. And she's like I want you to go home and tell your parents who you really are. And I'm like okay, I went home and did it. So like that's there's no, that's verbatim what happened. Like I'm right now trying to write the punchlines for it and kind of like embellishing some parts now to that story to make it funny, and that's going to be the new closer.
Speaker 2So that's fantastic.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's, hilarious.
Speaker 2Speaking of closers, I would love to chat with you all night, but we've got like another hour of recording to do and dinner.
Speaker 3So any final thoughts words, Just a thanks for having me, guys Twice.
Speaker 2Thanks for doing this again. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3No, you're fine, I don't care. And then my special is on Prime Video, called Word of Mouth, so everyone can check that out on there. Scott Kelly, word of Mouth. If you want to find me online, you have to write Scott Kelly Comedian, because if you write Scott Kelly, all you're going to get is an astronaut.
Speaker 1And he's taking up all my space.
Speaker 3So you got to write Scott Kelly Com. That's the only way you'll find me. So yeah, and I didn't realize I chose that as a stage name that there was a famous astronaut, otherwise I would have chosen something else to easily find me. Right, three years into that name and everyone's calling me Scott Kelly. And now I'm like, oh crap, well, everything out there is me with this, so I'll just keep the stage name. How did you find out? You said you weren't aware. So how did you find out? A friend of mine is like I can't find your stuff online. I Googled you. He's like oh, it comes up as an astronaut. I was like, well, I never made a face, I have been high. So I looked it up and I was like, oh, you can't find me. You can't find me. So I wrote, just wrote it. I'm like, oh, there, I am Okay. So you got it right Scott Kelly.
Speaker 1All right. Well, thanks for joining us, man. We really appreciate it Now. We'll definitely be talking again soon.
Speaker 2We need a couples night though, though, so I can talk to missy next up oh, it's dutch love did you hear what I was singing? No about your door and I'll sing it for you my door is shut oh, I can still hear me shooby dooby doo. I sing songs about poop, doobyobie, doobie doo, and boobies too, I don't know. Anyways, so that was a great little conversation we just had with one, mr Scott Kelly.
Speaker 2He's awesome, but I like his wife more. Just going to put that out there Just saying, no, I'm kidding, I mean maybe not Any whoozle. Let's talk about something that everybody and their mother effing mother is talking about this week. It is the Karen Reed case.
Speaker 1Karen Reed. We share a namesake, although not spelled the same Reed. She's got Old.
Speaker 2English.
Speaker 1Yeah, she's got the stupid spelling. Their family was book people. We made woodwinds.
Speaker 2They were the Reeds Reedies, anyways. So there's an well, I guess. If you don't know what the Karen Reed case is, quick recap she was a cop in Boston, her boyfriend was, she wasn't. Oh, she was an adjunct professor of law or criminology in Boston. He was a cop in Boston. She and he went to a party together. They were already drunk. She left, he was found dead. They say she did it, I say she didn't.
Speaker 1They say she hit him with her car.
Speaker 2What do you say?
Speaker 1I don't know. I mean it's so you could. Really, it's one of those. I and you know, I say this all the time this is the purpose of the criminal and you know, I say this all the time this is the purpose of the criminal trial. This is why they use the words beyond a reasonable doubt.
Speaker 2I think there's plenty of reasonable doubt in her case. There's a ton of reasonable doubt. There is no reason why.
Speaker 1Anyways, I don't know what happened, but I can say that she should be found not guilty based on the evidence that they have.
Speaker 2Agree completely, and there was so much tampering. We've talked about this before. You can watch one or 50 million datelines to understand that there is corruption in police.
Speaker 1Even if you do, let's say there's not corruption. I don't think any reasonable person can look at it and say that there wasn't at least negligence on the way that it was handled. You know what I mean Like um but, I'm about to blow your mind.
Speaker 2So I told I gave you a sneak peek of one of the things that we found out today, but I didn't tell you all of it. So thing one is that the original trial ended in a mistrial. We know this. So it was a mistrial. Hang on, jory. One of the jurors, one miss. Let me look it up real quick.
Speaker 1Debbie Ebersole.
Speaker 2No, not Debbie Ebersole, she's not real.
Speaker 1Billy Nichols.
Speaker 2No, okay. So one of the jurors from the first trial her name is Victoria George. She is a practicing law person in Boston, lives there, so she has taken a job with the defense team. So she can't, from what I understood, she's not working directly on the case, but she's joined the lead defense counsel and is helping him with the case. So, booyah, if she didn't feel so strongly about what happened on the first trial and what she thought was mishandling of so apparently the jurors were misinstructed and she tried to point that out, which is one of the things. But here's the bombshell that you don't uh, apple, apple products.
Speaker 2He had an apple iphone. His apple iphone detected heat on his body and felt him walk 82 steps away from the vehicle. Then his bluetooth disconnected from the vehicle. So how does the Bluetooth disconnect from the vehicle? One, you disconnect it yourself. Two, your car gets out of range. So he walked 82 steps away from the vehicle and then Bluetooth is out of range and she drives off. That's what I'm saying. There's more to come on that, because they're really picking apart the Apple timeline of everything that happened. One other thing is that one of the other guys I can't remember his name allegedly had a phone call with him at some time in the middle of the night that got erased, so if he was dead when she left, how was he on the phone with somebody Right? More to come.
Speaker 1This is the thing that really gets me is those other cops and the phone calls and the alleged they supposedly had like 30 butt dials in like a 20 minute period. Get out of town, man, you're up to something good. And they they even said it on there, whether or not they were talking about, uh, you know, the murder or whatever. But there's something that they don't want. They didn't want people to know about. I mean it's weird.
Speaker 2He has people to know about. I mean it's weird. He has dog scratches or bites on his body and the dog is killed after before right they get rid of it yeah, too many weird things that don't add up.
Speaker 2Too many weird things that don't add up and I've said this before like, for whatever reason, karen Reid has a huge supporting. She's a fucking bitch. She is a bitch, she is hard-ass. We never would be friends. I do not like her. She's not my cup of tea, she's abrasive. But it does not matter, it doesn't make her guilty. It's like Scott Peterson.
Speaker 1The people that support Scott Peterson say he's a piece of crap, but that doesn't make him guilty of murder. That's just all there is to it. People do terrible things. It doesn't mean they're murderers.
Speaker 2That's exactly right. I say this all the time.
Speaker 1You know me, I'd be a great defense attorney. Because they wouldn't want me coming, because every little devil's advocate moment I'd be in there. You know that.
Speaker 2I already do that. Like you know, I'm a horrible defense attorney because I cannot create reasonable doubt out of thin air, because I don't lie like that, like it's not. It makes me feel slimy to even try to do something like that. So it's like you see it, a when defense attorneys like start interjecting, especially when they start to victim blame Cause. That's what pisses me off is when, when defense attorneys victim shame or victim blame, that you know, defense attorneys are really good whenever you need them to defend you.
Speaker 2But then they're pieces of shit.
Speaker 1It's a double edged sword.
Speaker 2That's why we need it's the fundamental basis of our justice system speaking of justice system, something else dropped this week which I didn't remember from back in the day. So there was a Nightline special that came out this week. What is that face you're making?
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2You look like a troll.
Speaker 1I know that's what I thought. I looked like a witch.
Speaker 2There's a Nightline special that came out this week. Courtney Stodden she was in Confessions of a Child Bride Confessions 16 years old 16 years old in 2011 when she married a fucking 59-year-old man.
Speaker 1When she married the guy from the Green Mile, Tom Hanks.
Speaker 2Dude, don't even bring up Tom Hanks. You know how I feel about that. Tommy's going to get you, tommy's going to get you. They were in the same movie together. Quinky Dink? I think not, so you can take what you want from the special. Doug Hutchison is definitely a groomer. He's definitely a groomer.
Closing Thoughts and Upcoming Projects
Speaker 1However, it's gross. Does my nose look huge on camera?
Speaker 2no, it doesn't at all, except for when. No, he's a piece of shit doug benson.
Speaker 1No, no doug. What's his name?
Speaker 2doug hutchinson doug hutchinson hutchinson. There's no n in the middle, hutchinson doug hutchinson.
Speaker 1He's just, he's a weirdo. You can tell by the way he talks and then describing like all the oh my God, it's horrid, but then like shame on Dr Drew. Ah, so many of the reality shows and talk shows like exploited these people.
Speaker 2Oprah even exploited the girl.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean she was. She said it. She said I was basically a cash cow for them. I don't think she said cash cow, but she said something. You know what I mean? The golden goose. That's what she was referred to, as is the golden egg or the golden goose or whatever, and it was just all fucking disgusting. None of that would fly in today's day and age. I don't care if the law of legal consent or whatever is X, I don't care. I don't care, I don't care. Mentally, that girl was groomed by an old ass man because he wanted a young girl, and he's fucking gross. You can't convince me otherwise.
Speaker 1I don't think there's any convincing. I don't think anybody doesn't think that he was even blackballed by Hollywood. What's that? Tell you?
Speaker 2right, but his mom, her mom, has some culpability in this as well, because 120% her mom fucking fancied her. She said here's your one chance, courtney, don't let me down. I'm going to sign the consent form. You marry this man because he has money. You know what? By the end of it all, he was fucking bankrupt too.
Speaker 1The end of it, Fancy was all worn out.
Speaker 2But now look, Fancy is pouring tea in that high-end hotel suite for a producer who she's now married to, and she's doing just fine. But, fucking psychologically did she make it? No, however, I do give her props because she's helping other girls after their divorce was finalized in 2022, he was grooming another 15 year old girl, 16 I'm sure that's what people like, that too, people that are of that mindset, don't they?
Speaker 1that's who they are.
Speaker 2And you know what drives me insane about this whole thing is that, like I'm going through her socials right now and seeing what people are saying and the common recurring theme from women my age, so like women who would have been in 2011, who would have been in their late 20s to like early 40s is they felt like they were screaming into a void like this is wrong. This is wrong. This is wrong. But nobody was like honing in on, nobody cared. It was sensationalist. She became the. She became like the. What were the? I don't even know what they refer to it as, but like. She was demonized in the press because they were calling her.
Speaker 2They exploited her. They were calling her slutty and whatever promiscuous yeah when it was.
Speaker 1It is a form of not victim blaming, but it is a form of blaming the person that's being manipulated or whatever. That's exactly it, to make it look like they had a part in it, but she was 16, dude.
Speaker 2Right.
Speaker 1And then Chrissy Teigen, that fucking little cunt, but I forgive her, for I mean I don't like her, but I get people say things.
Speaker 2I mean, she said that the girl deserved to die and she apologized, though I say people do all the time, that doesn't mean, I think, that Poor Joe Flacco.
Speaker 1He might end up being a stealer.
Speaker 2Oh my God, all the death I've wished on Joe Flacco in life Jesus.
Speaker 1And his children, my God Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2We don't do that. We don't do that in the name of NFL. That would be weird. What are we talking about? What else are we going to get into real quick? Oh, so, I know you're trying to wrap this up. We do got lots of good content, but we're going to eat some dinner and we're going to watch Gord Gordo.
Speaker 1El Gordo, but what did we talk about to?
Speaker 2watch Gordo El Gordo, but what did?
Speaker 1we talk about.
Speaker 2What did we talk about? So we want to produce a show. Actually, we want Gordo to produce the show.
Speaker 1Yeah, I want Gordo to make the show. I don't want to have any parts of it, I just want to watch it, just take the idea. So many things I would love to create just to watch. I don't want to create them, I just want them created. I want to put the idea out there and let somebody else run wild with it.
Speaker 2Life's about putting it out there, and sometimes it gets swatting it away, that's right, but we're not going to swat this one. Gordon Ramsay, listen to us, listen to our call.
Speaker 1Love it or list it.
Speaker 2Love it or list it Gordon Ramsey style, where it's a restaurant that's struggling, you take a struggling restaurant and you have two teams one team that wants to help the restaurant survive with some tweaks to their menu and maybe the staff. A lot of times it's the staff and tweaks to what the place looks like and somebody else has their own brand new concept, brand new restaurant concept and that location would be great for the brand new concept. So they have to compete to determine whether or not the owner of the restaurant is just going to let the restaurant go and let the new concept take it over or whether they're going to adopt the tweaked version of their original restaurant.
Speaker 1Right, and you think I mean this fits right in with stuff that he's already doing. He could probably just do it all in one fell swoop.
Speaker 2Yeah See what you did there with the Nate shirt on.
Speaker 1Yep.
Speaker 2You can always find the Easter eggs in our conversations if you look hard enough. I point them out sometimes but I don't even point them out half the time because we do them so much it's crazy.
Speaker 1It's like psych. You got to find them for yourself.
Speaker 2And then what else were we talking about? Something along the lines of Project Greenlight, where you compete in.
Speaker 1It'd be like the Apprentice, but it'd be like for.
Speaker 2SNL for Jimmy Kimmel. Well, maybe not him because I don't like him, but for you know, for all the shows Like you. Just, you compete to get an internship to write on a comedy show.
Speaker 1That's exactly. Yeah, there's so many things you could do. There's so many reality opportunities that they're not. It's always it's the same, they're using the same board. We need to think about reality the way that we think about they used to.
Speaker 1Where there's like we'll try anything, now it's like if it's not a proven formula, it's not like a cooking show or a house, whatever house renovation show or a housewives you know what I mean like there's not a lot of room for these sort of pseudo like the apprentice style sort of competition reality outside of, like survivor and right, which I hate we need so stupid, it's so old. Why not make it survivor comedy writers group. Right, like, do something different. There's so many things you could do with that to like liven it up instead of people living on an island.
Speaker 3I agree.
Speaker 1You're in your 25th season or some shit. Nobody wants to see that, no more.
Speaker 2Agree, I mean obviously people do, because they're still watching it.
Speaker 1But anyway Because it's on. That's why. Because it's Like what they say on Seinfeld. Why am I when they're pitching the show? Why am I watching this? Because it's on TV. That's why people are watching those things because it's on. It's not that they really particularly want that's not given the choice. I think they would choose better programming.
