What's up everyone? Welcome to the Carmedy Podcast, where comedy meets yourslash my commute. I'm your host, Dave Thompson. This is episode 10.5. How's everybody doing? Hope your week is beginning well on this beautiful Mon Day. Monday, Mon Day, Monday. Uh my goodness. Uh the reactions of the last podcast have been mixed, to say the least. Uh, first of all, I put explicit on the episode. Explicit can mean many different things. So that is on you. If you didn't like the episode, I'm sorry if it was triggering to some people. I apologize. I am sorry. I I didn't mean to offend people. I'm just saying my opinions and my thoughts of things that maybe I don't understand or that I have opinions on, possibly. Okay? That's it. Not everybody's gotta get mad. Relax. It wasn't everybody, it was just one person. But isn't it crazy when one person says something? It kind of just kinda just changes the day when you get that text message where someone's like, hey, I gotta talk to you. I gotta talk to you. Stop what you're doing. I gotta talk to you. And then you just stop what you're doing. Then they just lay it on ya. They just lay it on ya. I don't like what you said. It offended me. Made me mad. You don't know what those people have gone through. You know, here's one thing I do know. And I'm gonna say this from the heart. And that is that if I offended you, I wanna say I'm sorry. For absolutely nothing. I'm not sorry for what I said. I'm not. I'm sorry for whatever happened to you that made you this way, whatever experience you shouldn't have had, or whatever the thing may be, I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry that you had to experience that. I've had to experience things I didn't want to have to experience either. Okay? I'm sorry for that. But if you think I'm not gonna talk how I want to talk, or I'm not gonna say what I want to say, because you get offended, you can just not listen. Okay? You can just not listen. That's just what it is. Alright? I love you guys. If you listen, I appreciate you, but I'm just saying things that are on my mind. That's all. And if you got things on your mind too, or if you want to say your things too, go start a pod. You don't gotta get mad. You don't gotta get mad. Relax. Calm down. But who am I to tell a grown adult what to do in America? It is your liberty and it is your right. It is your right to get upset. It is your right. That's just what it is. It's your right. So you do you, you do you boo-boo. I'm just telling you, I'm gonna do me boo-boo. Okay? That's where we are. Can we get into some happy stuff now? Some happy stuff? I'm gonna tell you guys right now.

Um, I love doing longer sets because you get to take your time with with setting up jokes, you get to to do multiple callbacks, you get to from for me. I'm a storyteller. I love to tell stories and and and and kind of peel back the curtain for people to see into my life and like kind of how kooky and crazy it is, and so I like it. I like being able to do these longer sets. Like you you obviously want a five-minute set that it's pretty much most open mics are five minutes, but you want a five-minute set to definitely show your personality and and if you're funny, but when you get to do like 45, you get to really stretch it. Stretch, stretch your legs, stretch your your abilities, and I I'm just I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm very appreciative for it. I'm looking forward to the challenge, and you know, I've done it quite a few times before where I've done you know 30 minutes, 45 minutes. I did an hour and three minutes one time. Um so that was almost 70 minutes that I did there, but um, I just I love it. The the opportunity to get to go up and and to and to make these people laugh and to work on jokes and to and to work on these longer sets. Uh something I'm I'm really excited about. So I'm really happy for that. So hopefully you guys are able to make it. If not, you know, it is what it is. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?

I've been thinking about flavored water recently. I've been thinking about flavored water. Um, I had this flavored water the other day at a party. It was blackberry flavored water, and it was incredible. I have you ever had something that you didn't expect to like and it ended up being amazing? That was that blackberry flavored water for me because me, I like soda. I try not to drink it super often, but I do like it a lot. And having this blackberry flavored water really kind of changed my perspective on if I would be capable of giving up soda. You know what I mean? Because if I had this, a blackberry flavored water on ice, I'd be like, wow, this is incredible. I don't need Dr. Pepper anymore. And me and Dr. Pepper, we've had 27 good years. 27 flavors, 27 good years. I love me a Coca-Cola, I like a Sprite, I like a Fanta, I like a Crush, I like a Crush grape, I like Crush Orange. What else do I like? I love me a Mountain Dew, I love me a Mountain Dew Code Red, I love me a Mountain Dew Game Fuel. You guys, I used to buy Mountain Dew Game Fuel by hand over fist. I'd be buying Mountain Dew Game Fuel. I used to love Mountain Dew Game Fuel. Absolutely love it. Love it. It's delicious. Um yeah. Sodas. But not good for me. Soda's not super good for me. So maybe I just need to get on these waters. I don't know. If you guys have water recommendations, maybe hit them. Not hit them, but send them my way. If you guys got some water recommendations, that would be nice. Um I'm doing some some some mics tonight. I'm very excited, uh, obviously, about this show on Thursday. So I'm gonna get out, stretch my legs a little bit, do some new, do some new bits, try some new things, uh, some premises. I'm gonna see if I can I need to start ending with some premises of things that I've been working on. So here's some premises um of just ideas. None of these I've necessarily even looked up. These are just things that I've been thinking about. Um the way white women pray. I don't know if you guys have been around religious groups at all recently or or Christians recently, but white women pray a certain way with a certain swagger and confidence that other people don't have. And and I think it's interesting the way that each type of person prays, but specifically white women will pray in a way that it's like a Karen way. It's like they're speaking to the manager. You know, it's like they're they're asking God to like change somebody. And and I want to come up with a few examples and ideas of things that maybe I've heard in the past, like that are real, um, but kind of talk about that. I don't know if a bunch of people have already touched on that before, but um I I think doing it from my perspective would be would be funny. So that's that's one premise. That's one premise. Um, but yeah, I've been trying to write some stuff, uh, getting ready for this thing on Thursday, but I'm gonna be putting the material together.
