This is BMP podcast. If you are artists, no matter just play, well up here, well leaving gatekeeping, we all gotta eat and this is our way of helping Avengers. Why you gotta podcast? Everybody got up. To be quite honest, I don't got a job. Look in there, prospect home going wrong. Thank you. Joe, for the park. I'm not designed to crap. I'm too pretty. If Joe Rogan can do it, I sure can. I've never fucked the stool, so I've got the upper hand. If Joe Rogan can do it, I sure can. I've never fucked a stool, so I got the upper hand.

It's the BMP pocket. It's the B and B pocket. It's the B pocket.

SPEAKER_06 1:16

After a long day, it's hard to turn off. That's why I go to Mammoth Cannabis on 212 Ohio Street. There's a double aviator laid out flattered in a mammoth foot. From flour to pre-roll, vaporizers to concentrate. You can rest assured that something big is waiting for you at Mammoth Dispensary. Just keep in mind, if you smoke cereal from the General Mills factory nearby, they can't help you. You have to go home and get a bowl yourself. It's a dispensary, not an eatery after all.

SPEAKER_04 1:48

Welcome BMP listeners. This is Benjamin Joe. And I am Max. And with us is a young comedian from the Buffalo area. I'd like her to go and possibly take a time to um to introduce herself, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:00

Uh my name is Katarina Valentine, and uh I am a local comic here in Buffalo. Uh, and uh it's nice to be on the podcast. Glad to have you. Thank you, thank you.

SPEAKER_06 2:09

Uh, what got you into comedy and what keeps you in comedy?

SPEAKER_01 2:13

Um, I've always been kind of like the class clown type or like the jokester type of person to like always crack a joke type of deal because I found that humor was an easy way to disarm people. You can get them on your side. Like you can turn a bully into a friend by just like being like, oh, you're kinda funny type of deal. That's cool. Um, so I've always kind of had that energy in life, and then um, you know, I was kind of like aimless. Like I went to college twice. Couldn't figure out that? Yeah, couldn't figure out what I wanted to do, didn't like anything that I was doing, was just kinda like didn't know um, you know, where I was going. And then I tried streaming on Twitch for a bit, and um, that was going pretty okay, but then I got banned by Blizzard because I was watching like their competitive league while eating, and they all got stupid rules. Yeah, yeah. And it was like their first year doing the league or whatever, so they were being super strict about like that type of thing, and I'm just like, I was gonna turn it off after I was done. I guess I could have just not watched it and gave you any play. Like, I whatever, it's dumb. Uh corporations are dumb. And um, yeah, so then after that I was just kind of like, well, what I don't what do I want to do with my life? Because like I don't want to go back to school again.

SPEAKER_06 3:24

Third time's a charm, though.

SPEAKER_01 3:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:25

Yeah. Third time is good.

SPEAKER_01 3:27

And then I was like, oh, maybe I could learn a trade, and then I just kept thinking about like how much school I would have to go through and sit through and still maybe not be potentially happy, uh, because I would prefer to do something creative with my life. And uh then I ended up on comedy, and um I one of the things that helped me start doing comedy was the fact that I also actually wanted to come out as trans. Sure. Um, because I didn't want to start comedy one way and then have to like explain everything to everybody like after they had already met me and everything. So I was like, well, if you really want to do this, like they were kind of coincided almost where it's like, do you really want to do stand-up comedy and are you actually trans? And it was like, well, I mean, what's the worst that could happen? Let's just take the leap. So makes sense.

SPEAKER_04 4:14

It's kind of like transitioning like the whole thing, your whole mind, body, soul.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

Yeah, pretty much. It was like turning over a new leaf uh in my life. I was in my early 20s, I think I was like 22 or something at the time. Um, so yeah, I came out uh a few months after coming out. I started comedy for the first time. Actually, my first mic was at Milky's. Um, and um, you know, it went pretty well, everyone was pretty supportive. I had a lot of fun doing it, and I'm like, oh okay. Like, let me, you know, see if I can make something out of this. And um, the only other thing that I can attribute to like me um actually starting to do stand-up was uh, I mean, unfortunately it was Dave Chappelle, but you know. Yeah this was uh so he was actually my favorite comic for the longest time.

SPEAKER_06 5:04

So you know Darth Vader of comedians.

SPEAKER_01 5:06

Yeah, I know for real. He was the real just manic and sky. You were the chosen one. Yeah, right. Um yeah, so uh, you know, it was uh after his Sticks in Stone special, the first one he released after like that big hiatus and whatever, he did uh he did an epilogue, and in the epilogue somebody asked him, like, hey, I've always wanted to do stand-up comedy. Like, do you have any advice on how to start? Like, what do I do? How do I, you know, get started? And he was pretty much just like, well, honestly, all you have to do is start, and once you start, like, don't stop. Like, don't get off that horse, don't get off the train, keep going, just push it, push it, push it, and eventually, hopefully, you know, you might get a career out of it. So, um, that kind of really stuck with me, and it made me realize that I because I had been writing for like a year, maybe almost a year and a half before I had actually started stand-up. So I had all these little things written down, and I had this huge folder, and it was just like, you need to go do these, like you need to practice, you need to try, you need to do something with it. And so I watched that and I was like, you know what, he's right, I'm just gonna start. And then like the next week I started.

SPEAKER_04 6:12

Are you from Buffalo?

SPEAKER_01 6:13

Uh I'm actually originally from Toronto.

SPEAKER_04 6:15

Oh, you're from Toronto? What the heck happened? Did the borders get reversed or something like that?

SPEAKER_01 6:19

My mom got married uh that's right. Yeah, when I was like seven. So I've been here for like 20 some odd years. That's cool. It's not bad. I mean, it's cheaper than Toronto, but at one point I I thought about moving back, and um, then I realized that like because I also kind of want to move to New York City to obviously pursue comedy. And um if I move back to Toronto, it's kind of the same difference as like moving to it's like the New York City of Canada. So like all the you know, prices, everything like that, cost of living, all that would be as expensive as it would be to make that move. And while I do have family there, I don't necessarily want to stay with my family for too long. Have you done comedy in Toronto? Um a few times. I I've done like a few open mics and stuff. Um recently I actually uh filmed a 30-minute set that I'm hopefully gonna send out to clubs and stuff and try to get feature spots.

SPEAKER_03 7:11

Um that's great.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

That's kind of where like my next step is at. Um was which is why I'm kind of like almost a little bit emotionally drained right now, is because like I did something so monumentous recently that I'm kind of just like chilling for the understandable for like the past like kind of week or so. I haven't really done any mics or anything. I've just been at home just kind of editing and sitting with it, um, seeing how I feel about it. But I feel pretty good.

SPEAKER_04 7:37

Good.

SPEAKER_01 7:38

What is what is it uh uh about the uh the your 30 seconds uh so it's I'm trying to do a good job of like not saying this is like a special or like a tape or like a whatever or like this is my half hour, because it's it's it's more about proving the fact that I could do a half hour, if that makes sense. Um so it's it is special in the regards of like it's this only the only the second time I've ever done 30 minutes, but it's also the first time I've ever had it recorded um like professionally. But uh yeah, it's mostly just about like uh my coming out and experiencing like the world and like comedy and all the different kind of uh experiences I've had. Um it's a lot of just kind of silly stuff also, because I like to sometimes I like to write uh things that are kind of abstract, and like you're just like, well that was silly. Like, and it's just a good, you know, little ha ha, it's not serious, it doesn't mean anything, it doesn't have to like there's no bigger connotation than I'm just talking about like what if I exploded.

SPEAKER_04 8:43

Like that's so it's kind of like an icebreaker.

SPEAKER_01 8:46

Yeah, yeah. Um so it was really cool to because I I had to um I had to basically do everything. Like I marketed, I produced it, uh, I booked it, and then I uh I obviously had to do the the headliner set. So it was a lot of work and it was pretty satisfying though, because I mean we probably had like twenty five, maybe thirty people in the room, which you know that's not sold out, but it's also like that's a good intimate crowd, though. Yeah, it's also my first time do like produ like doing anything like that. So if I can build up the the brand to like, you know, people recognize like, oh, I like Katarina's shows, like I'm gonna go to the next one or type of deal. So um it's kind of where uh my next project is at. I figured if I'm gonna be stuck in Buffalo, I might as well do something productive.

SPEAKER_06 9:40

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 9:43

Buffalo is sort of like a different town for different people, like depending on where you're where you're from, because the city is very large.

SPEAKER_02 9:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 9:50

Um comparative to say, I don't know, Catamonda or whatever. Like, you know.

SPEAKER_01 9:55

Yeah, it's uh it's I think Buffalo is a good starter city, if that makes sense for somebody. Like if you've never lived in quote unquote the big city before, like if you're from like Iowa or Nebraska or something like that, somewhere in the Midwest. Hey, don't mess with Kansas City.

SPEAKER_04 10:11

That's a freaking big city.

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Okay, they got one. But um, yeah, no, if you're from somewhere that's doesn't really feel that's like not that's real kind of more rural or like suburban, um, moving to Buffalo is a good experience of what it would be like to like move to somewhere like what I call like a I think that's like tier one city versus tier two city. I don't know. I'm not a nerd like that.

SPEAKER_04 10:36

Hey, we're the Rust belt.

SPEAKER_01 10:37

Yeah, we're yeah, we're uh I think we might technically be a tier three, but who's who's counting?

SPEAKER_04 10:42

Who's counting? We're the second biggest in New York State, right? Exactly. That's gotta be something. Yeah. Well, um I guess what I was getting at is that like a lot of people have different experiences in the city. And I was wondering, has yours been very supportive or has it been not so much supportive?

SPEAKER_01 10:57

For the most part it's been supportive, but uh unfortunately, like any you know, type of any scene or whatever you do, there's gonna be like clicks and people who are just kind of like mean girls uh and just have that energy of just like you'll never be good enough to hang out with us type of deal. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 11:14

So everybody wants to be Lindsay Long Han.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

Literally. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody wants to be that the Queen B. And I'm just like, you could just, you know, you could share the love, but whatever.

SPEAKER_06 11:26

How do you learn to like maneuver that?

SPEAKER_01 11:28

Um, it was honestly pretty hard because going into everything, I've always been very kind and like supportive, and like kind of like, you know, I try to be positive, and uh people were always very nice to me when I started and um whatnot and friendly, and the scene has kind of shifted a little bit since I've started where it's gone back to how it was before I started, which was very everybody's got their own groups, and people don't really talk to one another, and there's like this almost like elitism going on. Um, and so I've always tried to even in the times like now, um, be kind of hey, like new people keep coming out. Oh, that was a good set, like here's a note, like you know, blah blah blah. Like trying to encourage people to like continue doing it because it's easy to do your first set, it's hard to continue to do it forever. Um so I you know always came in very positive attitude, and slowly over time I've it's worn me down a little bit. You become cynical? Yeah, I've become so cynical. Um like they do uh Buffalo's Funniest competition every year. And uh this might be the first year I don't do it.

SPEAKER_00 12:36

Oh, gotcha.

SPEAKER_01 12:37

Because the judges are uh mostly uh made up of like local past winners and stuff, and they they don't like me. So I probably will never win. There's probably no way I'll ever win. So I'm just kind of like I spend a hundred dollars every year to do this and I don't win.

SPEAKER_06 12:54

So do you feel like that cynicism that you've now possessed is like kind of necessary though?

SPEAKER_01 13:00

Um, a little bit. Uh because as much as fun as it is to be like that cheery-eyed kind of like uh like oh the world is great, like opportunity is everywhere type of deal.

SPEAKER_06 13:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:10

Um getting a little bit more cynical has helped me refocus my own career and get learned to be a little bit more selfish. Uh which you kind of have to be. Yeah. Because this is technically a game of one. There is no there's not really comedy duos or teams anymore. It's really just you versus, you know, whoever.

SPEAKER_06 13:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:30

Um we're all trying to eat out of the same pot. And um so um, yeah, I've gotten better about like really kind of almost keeping stuff to closer to the chest and like realizing who your real friends are and um like knowing who you can trust, not trust, type of deal. And not to say I don't still go out of my way to like talk to new people, make them feel welcome and whatnot.

SPEAKER_06 13:50

I still do it, but yeah, you don't overextend yourself.

SPEAKER_01 13:54

Correct. Uh sometimes it's like uh I don't feel like doing it, or like I'm not in the mood, so I just don't, or it's like if I go out of my way to talk to somebody and encourage them a bunch, and then I don't see them receptive to it, I kind of just stop because I'm just like I'm gonna do it. Yeah, it's draining. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I got you. Um for the longest time I used to try to push all my friends to like really run with me and uh be on my level because I I try to go to everything. I'm very active, I'm always trying to do comedy at least three to five times a week, and I know that's kind of draining, but also I know what it takes to like be a professional comedian.

SPEAKER_06 14:32

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you hit those mics out of like that you do want to be a professional comedian, or do you kind of like that itch where like you have to hit the mics? Because I've known some comics where like they're like almost like addicts, like they have to hit those mics a certain amount of time every week.

SPEAKER_01 14:48

Um, it's a little bit of both. It's not just about hitting the mics, yes, because like I do get antsy, like if I like last week when I stayed home all week, it was hard for me to not want to just go out and like do a mic, but I I really did have to edit and work on stuff I'm behind. Um But yeah, it uh I always have that itch every week where it's like if I don't do at least like two or three mics, like I feel like I'm being lazy type of deal, and I'm letting myself down. I also am one of the few people that does try to write a new five minutes every week, which is exhausting. It is it is a lot, um, and I've gotten better at navigating, um not stressing so much about doing a new five minutes every week and just focusing on making jokes good type of deal. Um so now my new models, I'll try to do like um three, maybe three and a half minutes of new jokes, and then maybe do like one or two like ones that I did the last week or like a couple weeks ago or within the month or I try to keep stuff like at opa mics at least. I try to not because like there's a big mentality with comics um that like oh well uh just do your best stuff all the time or do this all the time or keep working this joke into the ground because you never um nobody remembers us, nobody knows who we are, like you're not gonna see the same people twice. And I realize that that's not true at all. Yeah, um I've seen you many times. Exactly, exactly. Like the you start to quickly realize that there are people who are fans of local comedy they show up to things regularly all the time, and they get excited to see you tell new jokes, they get excited to hear you work on new stuff, and I try to keep that in my head whenever I'm doing comedy is like, yeah, there there may be some people that like don't know you, whatever, but there's always plenty of people that do know you and are specifically there to see you. They come back to see you, like you're part of the night that they enjoy, type of deal.

SPEAKER_04 16:51

Cool. So what where where are the best menus to go and try new stuff? Do you would you say?

SPEAKER_01 16:56

Um I would say uh Milky's for sure. Milki's is always our Milky's is our home base. It's a great mic. It's um honestly probably one of the best mics where you'll get like the most variety of comics, if that makes sense. Yeah. Um, because everyone tends to try to do that one at least, if not every week, like every other week or something like that. So you always get a fresh mix of people um doing Milky's. Um Good Bar is still a pretty good mic. Um I feel like uh I don't know if they're not advertising it on the radio as much or whatever, but like there it's it's upstairs in the attic, so it's not like you walk in and you know comedy's happening.

SPEAKER_03 17:33

Right.

SPEAKER_01 17:34

Um, which is kind of a blessing and a curse because it kind of does make it feel a little bit almost mystique, like you're walking up to you know the showroom.

SPEAKER_02 17:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

Um and um those two are kind of like the I would say like Buffalo staple mics, uh, because we have other mics that run, but they're not every week type of deal. Um like uh Revolver does a mic on Fridays, but it it's not every Friday. Um or you have like um Tuesday mic that runs like every like once, like one Tuesday a month type of deal. Sure. Um so but as far as like going out weekly consistent basis, uh I would say Milkies and Good Bar very good to check out for people.

SPEAKER_04 18:13

Perfect, perfect. Yeah. So you've lived in Buffalo for I would say most of your life.

SPEAKER_02 18:18

Yeah, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 18:19

And you probably notice like the great amount of music that we have in in the city. I mean it's coming to summertime pretty soon. I'm really looking forward to going seeing some outdoor festivals and uh you know, just bands outside the cold.

SPEAKER_01 18:31

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_04 18:32

Like elements of the uh the climate.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

Um I was wondering if if you knew any uh bands in the area that or or are regular musicians who you'd like to shout out and uh um so and we kind of talked about this before we started, but I I I was trying to think of a name somebody like because I see a lot of bands at Milkies when I'm out because I hang out there on the weekends a lot, and most of the bands that I see there are very good, and it's a lot of like um like uh I don't I wanna say not alternative, it's like kind of I think indie might be the more correct uh like tur. I don't know music terms. I'm I'm really bad at that.

SPEAKER_04 19:16

That's all right. If you hear a sna a catchy uh uh guitar uh riff, it's probably indie. Unless it's a really hard, crunchy one, then it's probably hardcore metal.

SPEAKER_01 19:26

Yeah, it uh a lot of the time it's a lot of the the indie guys who are doing like kind of like um a mix of like soft rock or like pop rock uh type of deal where there's like fast songs but then there's like songs that are kind of almost like melodic, yeah, melodic um type of deal. Um I'm a I'm a sucker for a good melody and a good beat type of uh deal. And so and it's kind of cool the way that a lot of because local bands have to do something similar to like what you have to do as a local comic, is um people might not know who you are, type of deal, but you have to make the show enjoyable for them. And I think uh Buffalo bands do a good job of making shows enjoyable for people that have never heard them and like may never never potentially see that band again because unless you're in the scene, like you you might be out one night, you might not be, and it's um but they always have like their merch table set up, and um I've definitely uh checked out a couple uh people on like Spotify for a song here and there type of deal. So it's it's cool that they have a um a very supportive, kind of almost healthy scene that lets them continue their art.

SPEAKER_06 20:38

That's cool.

SPEAKER_04 20:39

Well we'll just put one of them in the showcase on made pavement. Yeah, I've seen them like they're really pretty good in the indie band. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 20:48

They're basically what you described as like Indian stuff.

SPEAKER_01 20:51

Yeah, because like a lot of the time, too, I'll be hanging out with my friend Brody, and he's more friends with people in the music scene than I am. So he's like, oh, this local band is great, this person's great, like, oh, I'm friends with these people, type of deal. So like it's more or less I'm hanging out with people that are into local music, and I'm just kind of a bystander. Just being like, oh, this is a bop. That's what I'm doing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 21:13

All right, well, let's take a listen to that.

SPEAKER_06 22:12

This just then a double scoop of bad news. Man, life just isn't letting up. I feel like the walls are closing in and I don't have a way to stop it. I wish there was somewhere I could go. Some place where I could just get away from everything and just be creative.

SPEAKER_05 22:33

There is a creative workshop. Who said that? I heard you're playing. Okay in the Great Aerial building on Elmwood Avenue. Use our space, our art supplies and equipment to your heart's content. Let us hope you beat back the stress and feel centered again.

SPEAKER_06 22:56

Wow, that sounds great. I'll check it out.

SPEAKER_05 23:00

Always remember, if the world has your creative spirits in rut, come to the Buffalo Creative Workshop for a pick-me-up. More about Buffalo Creative Workshop can be found at Buffalo.creativeWorkshop on Instagram.

SPEAKER_04 23:19

And we're back. Now, as I understand it, we were just talking a little bit off mic, but um uh in May, there's gonna be a big show coming up that you kind of cur curated.

SPEAKER_01 23:28

Um so in May, uh uh it's May 23rd, I believe it's a Friday. Um I could probably hold on, can I look real quick? Yeah. Is that allowed?

SPEAKER_06 23:40

Is that cheating? There's no cheating on this test.

SPEAKER_00 23:44

Um, is that hold on. I literally have the textbook. 23rd is yeah, it's Thursday. Um, in May, though.

SPEAKER_01 23:54

Yeah, because they they texted me, what'd they text me? Saturday, May 23rd. Sorry.

SPEAKER_00 23:59

That's cool.

SPEAKER_01 24:00

Um so yes, it would be Saturday, May 23rd, and uh it's Memorial Day weekend. It's my second show that I am producing uh slash putting on, and it is um at Buffalo Comedy Collective on Chandler Street, it's in Black Rock. Uh they opened up, I believe it's last year, so they are newer comedy venue, but they also do like improv uh shows and stuff there, and the stage is really cool. Um it's a real intimate kind of space. I think it seats maximum like 60 people or so. Um so but uh yeah, I'm it's gonna be me and a bunch of my my friends. Uh Jesse is headlining this one, and he actually just released a special. Um I actually don't know if it's out yet. He filmed a special last month, so nice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 24:48

That's very cool. And and you've done this one before with these with these uh comics before?

SPEAKER_01 24:54

Uh well I've worked with everyone on the lineup before. Um this is your first time leading the the charge. Yeah, this is so the show the I basically the show I did uh last month in March was like a soft launch to see if I could do all the work that is producing, marketing, and like putting on a show. Um and it went pretty well, so I feel confident that I could do it at least every couple of months. Every month seems like a lot, but every couple of months I could handle. Um so it's nice to kind of give back to the community in a way where it's like uh we've all been passed over and whatnot for all sorts of different like shows that would be kind of like cool or whatever. And uh I don't know, it's nice to directly be able to help my friends as well as myself in the process of because you know, it's hard to really get yourself out there and then you get longer stage time and this, that, and the other. So it's a nice way to give people the opportunity to do more time.

SPEAKER_04 25:54

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06 25:55

That's something that uh comics are always starving for, so you know.

SPEAKER_04 25:59

Well, I just think it's great, you know, so that a comic is is stepping up and like um you know, putting themselves out there to go and do their own show to go and help the community, because I think that that's pretty much what it's all about, right? Like you find your friends and you find the people that you really want to go to support and and um you give them as much time as as you can. And uh, you know, there's always somebody, you know, me, I'm not really that kind of person, but I would say that like it makes me feel good to know that there are people out there who are, you know, greeting people, making people feel welcome and giving them as much as they can.

SPEAKER_01 26:32

Yeah, it uh it um I'm a big proponent of like uh don't complain about something, but then do nothing to try to solve it or fix it. And I have been one of the biggest complainers about like shows and stage time and like length of stage time and how much time you get to do, like over the past like I would say year or so. And I just kind of finally got off my ass and was like, oh, how hard could it be to like run a show? And I'm already friends with the people at BCC, so I figured if I do a theme show and you know I talk to my friends, they probably would just let me do a show. There's a comedy venue, like that's what they want. That's what they want. So um, yeah, it uh it's hopefully gonna be the start of a like blossoming new biz like comedy business in Buffalo because outside of Helium we don't really have um like a lot of other com it's literally just helium. Um the closest we have to a secondary comedy club is Bayville, and they mostly do music.

SPEAKER_04 27:34

Yeah, they do they do a lot of stuff over there, but yeah, most music.

SPEAKER_01 27:37

Yeah, so um with BCC opening up last year, it kind of gave us a new venue to try to you know really curate into a good local comedy venue, and other people run shows there too, um, so it's not just me, but um I'm kind of almost trying to be like I don't know, they took away all the local shows at Helium, and so now I'm like trying to rebuild what we lost basically by putting on some local shows so that people in the community have work to do, so we're not all just like sitting on our asses waiting for the next show or having to drive like you know hundreds of miles, fifty miles, however many miles out, however many hours out to get a good show. Um so it would be better to have like good local shows with like audiences that consistently show out. Wow. That's you know a five-mile, five-mile drive from your house and not fifty.

SPEAKER_04 28:35

Well, I'm definitely interested in this show. I think I should get my ass over there.

SPEAKER_01 28:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 28:39

I'd encourage any listeners to do the same.

SPEAKER_01 28:41

It's um the last one went good. Um I had a good time. I I uh I am kind of uh doing something a little bit unprecedented and airbutting a little bit with these shows, but I think that it's fine because at the end of the day, like who cares? Uh we're all just trying to get our foot in the door. Um like I booked myself as the headliner on the first one, which is not something typically that you do on a show. It's typically you you book the show and you host it type of deal. Um or you might not even do a set at all. Um so uh with me kind of almost like booking myself for one of the spots, it probably is gonna rub some people the wrong way, but I honestly don't care. Um because those are the same people that don't respect me, anyways. So it's what it is. Um you gotta make your own moves. Absolutely. I'm making my own moves, we're all gonna eat. It's gonna be a good time. Absolutely. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 29:35

Well, that's about all we have time for right now, listeners. I want to thank you so much for coming on the pod. Of course.

SPEAKER_06 29:41

Yeah, pleasure talking to you. Yeah, this was a good time. Thank you for having me. And uh wish you the best on the show and whatever you got going on in the future as well. Thank you, you too. Thank you. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 29:49

Anything you want to say, Max?

SPEAKER_06 29:50

No, that's it, just the usual. May the sauce be with you guys.

SPEAKER_04 29:52

Alright, thanks, listeners.

SPEAKER_06 29:59

Coochie. The bringer of life, the bringer of unimaginable joy, the cause of catastrophic destruction. Knowing that you have something so powerful, wouldn't you want the best to take care of it? Pardon me for saying this, I am just a humble announcer. But if I had a coochie, I'd probably get it waxed at Cheyenne's waxing studio on 830 Elmwood Ave. You have power in between your legs. So why not have it taken care of by the best? It's the B podcast. If you are artist, no matter discipline, we'll help you out. Don't believe in gatekeeping, we all gotta eat, and this is our way of helping out. And just the host, Max the ghost, we try our best. So there we go. Like, why you gotta podcast? Everybody got dog. To be quite honest, I don't got a job. Living there, prospect, like one gon' rock. Joe, for the pot. I'm not it's not a crap. I'm too pretty for present. But talking off the dome, I'm finna make a kill. If Joe Rogan can do it, I sure can. I've never fucked a stool, so I've got the upper hand. If Joe Rogan can do it, I sure can. I've never fucked a stool, so I've got the upper hand.
