SPEAKER_05 14:15

Alright. Crazy.

SPEAKER_03 14:23

So to everybody that was just listening to this podcast, uh, we only had a limited amount of time with Umar because the show was starting and it started to get loud. So, what we've done, set scene, set setting, I got my man Isaiah Tingle here with me. I got my girl Shauna Henry here with me, and I have my son Joe Spain Quattro here with me. And basically, we're just gonna pick up because they were all at the show in different roles. Everybody uh Isaiah killed, Shauna killed, everything had a good time. Joseph had everything on lock, helping out, keeping people all around, asking me to kick people out. It was all crazy. So I want to start the podcast by talking about the show. Did you have fun?

SPEAKER_02 15:08

Yeah, man. It was one of the one of the best shows. I mean, I know you hear that all the time, but it was one of the best shows I've been on. Like I had the most fun on stage, off stage, but for the show was fun, even though we were all nervous.

SPEAKER_03 15:19

Yeah, you fucking killed it, man.

SPEAKER_02 15:20

Oh man, I appreciate you.

SPEAKER_03 15:22

That uh that icebreaker that you had was it was, man.

SPEAKER_02 15:25

Thank God for the lollipops.

SPEAKER_01 15:29

Your whole body just got into it. I didn't know.

SPEAKER_03 15:33

I'm not gonna say it on here because I think I hope there's gonna be good footage of it so you'll be able to use it. Yeah, man. Clip it up. Yeah, no fucking. I didn't even see the lollipops.

SPEAKER_02 15:44

Yeah, dude, I was so nervous. And I was telling Shauna, I think I don't know if I told you before or after or on the ride. I was like, I don't know what my first joke is gonna be. And it was so weird. Like I always have a first joke, you know. If I have nothing else, I have one. You know what I mean? Usually I just didn't know how like because you told me I was going first, right? I kind of figured, but I just didn't know like what I was gonna start with. I couldn't figure it out. So I seen all the lollipops and I just grabbed them.

SPEAKER_03 16:11

And that's good.

SPEAKER_02 16:12

I was like, well, I'm gonna have to do something, and I don't want to have to eat these on stage.

SPEAKER_03 16:15

Right. Or the icebreaker, you know, just like with talking to somebody, man, the icebreaker make you or break you.

SPEAKER_02 16:21

Yeah. You go up there and throw one out, and people are like, hmm, who is this, man? Or you hit somebody in the head, you know, a woman falls. Right.

SPEAKER_03 16:30

Now that I got now that I got a couple more tools in my toolbox, a lot of times I'll go up and as I'm going up, I'll just see something to crack on or something to relate to people with, and then from there kind of try to figure out which lane I'm gonna get in. Right. You know what I mean? Like have a couple ideas, but not have like A, B, C, D be like, if they laugh at this, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 16:58

I love it.

SPEAKER_03 16:59

How'd you have how'd you uh how'd you feel about your set?

SPEAKER_01 17:02

I felt good. I I'm a little bit of a stage snob. Uh-huh. I love being up above the audience. Because that's where I started, right? So being up there, it feels comfortable. And then the minute I get that first laugh, my whole body relaxes, and I'm like, the fuck was that?

SPEAKER_02 17:23

Oh, I thought I got struck by lightning.

SPEAKER_03 17:26

Me too, man. My asshole puckered up for real.

SPEAKER_06 17:30

I saw it. It's the only reason I didn't react to that much.

SPEAKER_02 17:32

I was like, I didn't jerk off for two minutes.

SPEAKER_03 17:34

I thought you did it with your mind. The way your face looked. He was like, mmm, you're staring at it. He did that with his brain. Does something break?

SPEAKER_01 17:45

I don't think it's a pants.

SPEAKER_03 17:47

Alright, we'll just set it down. Come on. I'll put the fuck out.

SPEAKER_02 17:50

Joe, that looks like one of those big choppers that we needed for the fucking the noise.

SPEAKER_05 17:55

Yeah, man, that was wild.

SPEAKER_03 17:58

All the metal just came flying. Fucking Jedi. Alright, come on.

SPEAKER_01 18:11

Was it something I said?

SPEAKER_03 18:12

Yeah, right. Anyway, you were saying. I was saying you like being up above people. You like to conquer, you know, stand on some small Asian children.

SPEAKER_01 18:21

There's something about being on a stage versus like being on the floor at a bar or at a restaurant. Though that's where I'm not used to. Where a stage, I'm comfortable. And so the first laugh, I just felt I was really it might have been the cigarettes beforehand. It does not help. I don't know why I did it. It doesn't relax me.

SPEAKER_02 18:44

I had a whole pack of cigarettes. I went through like all of them. Oh man.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

And it hit like you were on stage, I was like, shit, why am I jittery? I'm never like I get nervous, but I don't get like physically jittery.

SPEAKER_03 18:57

I feel like I didn't know. That's a lot of people, man.

SPEAKER_01 18:58

Yeah. Yeah. The venue is beautiful. The way it's set up. And yeah, I felt I felt really good.

SPEAKER_03 19:06

SPEAKER_02 19:35

Yo, I heard you cleaned one of your jokes, so I was like, hmm. I was like, do we have to be clean in here?

SPEAKER_03 19:40

I'm like, no, I've been I've been playing with not going so hard in that type of crowd, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:46

And it still works.

SPEAKER_03 19:48

Yeah, it works better most of the time because they're not so appalled by the first part that they don't want to laugh at the second part. You know what I'm saying? Right. It's like I'm like, said fucking whatever, you know what I mean? They don't even hear that it's funny at the end. But yeah, I felt real comfortable, man. I've been feeling real comfortable on stage. Hell yeah. Like real loose. I hope that doesn't go away. I know it will, but right now I feel good.

SPEAKER_02 20:16

Once we bomb again, yeah, fucking I really follow nobody.

SPEAKER_03 20:20

Me and you on the road will fucking feel it again. I'm sure. Feel that tank tickle. A little bit of sweat curl up on your brow. So that's um did you see the one couple that didn't have fun?

SPEAKER_01 20:38

I saw the man to the left when you're on stage. Yeah, could you not? He was big.

SPEAKER_02 20:44

He was tall, right? And he had like a red shirt on.

SPEAKER_01 20:46

And like a scowl. Just the whole time.

SPEAKER_06 20:49

Did you see him, buddy? The the guy that was with um the mean lady?

SPEAKER_02 20:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 20:55

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_02 20:56

Plummer is what they called him.

SPEAKER_06 20:57

No. You didn't see him. He walked right by me. He walked out for a while. He walked right by me. When she stopped and spoke to me, he just kept walking. So I didn't even get a look at him, and I didn't see him in the crowd.

SPEAKER_03 21:08

Well, he was it looked like y'all were calling him the plumber.

SPEAKER_02 21:12

That's what they were calling him. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 21:13

Who's they?

SPEAKER_02 21:14

Other people. Oh Ron. Ron was calling him the plumber. I mean, I don't, I just know I wasn't.

SPEAKER_03 21:22

DJ Ron?

SPEAKER_02 21:23

Yeah, DJ Ron was calling him.

SPEAKER_03 21:25

Maybe he knew him.

SPEAKER_02 21:26

I think, man. Like, how could you not, though? It seemed like almost everybody knew each other in that room. Like, even if they didn't know each other, like they were like, Man, I was a lot of people I didn't recognize. See, a lot of people kept coming up to me, like, being like, hey, tell Joe about that. Tell him to tell you about that story when I kicked his ass in fucking elementary squad. Yeah. I mean, there was a lot of people. Yeah, that was him. Eric Callaway.

SPEAKER_03 21:49

He knocked me out in a friggin' on a school bus one day.

SPEAKER_02 21:51

Oh god, that's not very gangster.

SPEAKER_03 21:53

You know what the tidy bowl is? The t huh? The tidy bowl. Man, don't nobody know that about you. All right. So On a school bus, you got the bench seat, you know what I mean, and where it hits the wall, there's that little hole that goes down in between the seat and the steel. That's the tidy bowl. That's where you hide everything. People would fold notes up and stick in there, stick the trash in there, you know, whatever pencils, erasers, or what would fall out of your pockets would sometimes go in a tidy bowl. So you go in there fishing, and sometimes you would find a piece of magic. This day we went fishing because it was two runs. So we were kids, and the high school run was only a different time. So we get in there and find the high school treats. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes pieces of cigarettes. You know what I mean? So we got in there one day and we found a note, like a circle yes or no. You know what I mean? One of them kind of notes. And I can't remember if I found it first or if he found it first. It doesn't even matter. We were going back and forth over it, and he cracked, cracked me, cracked me, man.

SPEAKER_02 22:59

Over the note. Yeah. And then what'd y'all do with it?

SPEAKER_03 23:02

I knocked out in the in the aisle. I knocked out in the aisle, right? And then I like got my shit together, and the bus driver, I don't know if we were stopped or if she stopped. She said, What's wrong with him? You know what I mean? Because I was like trying to get my shit together. What's wrong with it? And I was like, Oh, nothing. I hit my head on the window. And I would I didn't tell on him. So then we were fucking tight as thickest thieves from then on, man.

SPEAKER_02 23:32

Better than me, man. I would have ratted on him. Can we give him a boo, dude? Sucker punchy on the fucking butt.

SPEAKER_03 23:40

Nah, he appreciates that. It wasn't a sucker punch for sure. Yeah, I probably deserved it. I can't remember. He would probably tell that story a little bit different. So this note.

SPEAKER_01 23:49

I want to know what the note is.

SPEAKER_02 23:50

Yeah, like it was it not for either one of you? No, it was a note between two other people. Do you think, like, obviously, like the uh that person was waiting for the response? Did y'all take the note?

SPEAKER_03 24:02

I don't know what happened to the note.

SPEAKER_01 24:03

I bet Eric.

SPEAKER_03 24:04

He knocked me out, didn't it? He knocked me out. Dude, one time. Then we started getting in fights.

SPEAKER_01 24:11

Some woman's walking around with guns. He didn't even leave me the gun.

SPEAKER_02 24:18

That's me. That's me. It's like a Friday y'all did this. Or Monday. Circle anything. God damn it. I gotta move schools. Fuck it.

SPEAKER_03 24:27

What about when they wouldn't circle yes or no? They would write maybe and then circle it.

SPEAKER_02 24:32

You got that? They would just give me the notes back. I gave my cousin one of those notes one time.

SPEAKER_03 24:36

Oh man.

SPEAKER_02 24:37

I didn't know she was my cousin. She would have said yes, dude. She was gonna say yes. She was gonna say yes. Yeah. I was in there.

SPEAKER_03 24:44

What was your uh what was your take on the show, buddy? How'd you did you have a good time?

SPEAKER_06 24:48

I thought it was fun. Especially that icebreaker. I was I was falling a victim to it. Yeah. Me and Giles. It was funny, and it was hilarious. Because I I mean I popped it in my mouth. Instantly. And then you said it. And then you said the the punchline, and Giles points over at me and is like, ah, you already got it in your mouth. I'm like, okay.

SPEAKER_03 25:06

Yeah. See, that's so funny. That's funny, man. That's funny. I can't wait to see it.

SPEAKER_02 25:13

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 25:14

Because that you did it right dead center of front stage, right? Yeah, right there.

SPEAKER_02 25:19

And I kind of sat in it, you know what I mean? Like I made sure everybody was looking.

SPEAKER_03 25:22

Yeah, that should look really good, man. Just the placement of it, the way the the because they'll be right on the edge of the spotlight.

SPEAKER_02 25:28

And I think that'll look good. That helped because I couldn't really see anybody because that spotlight. I only seen the people who weren't having a good time. Oh my god, man.

SPEAKER_03 25:37

It did seem like they had a light on them.

SPEAKER_01 25:40

So tall. I literally looked, I think one, I don't remember what the punchline is, but there are definitely men in the audience when I tell jokes who disapprove. And that's fine. It actually makes me laugh. But the scowl was like, I'm just not gonna fucking look at you anymore. Yeah. I don't think you haven't even said anything that raunchy yet. And you're scowling already.

SPEAKER_02 26:04

His look was so bad. Like you, I didn't know he had a woman sitting next to him. Like I had no clue. I thought he was sitting alone.

SPEAKER_03 26:12

It didn't have anything to do with you.

SPEAKER_01 26:13

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_03 26:13

Because he gave me the same look the whole night.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

He had the look the minute he sat down.

SPEAKER_03 26:17

Right. I started to I started to address it before, after you. And I bef just before it started coming out of my mouth, I was like, I don't want this to go bad for Eric. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:33

You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 26:34

Because I could turn, they're all in a great mood, except him. Except him, yeah. Fuck him.

SPEAKER_01 26:39

He wasn't drawing any towards him at all. No negativity at all.

SPEAKER_03 26:44

No, it was just like they had a spotlight on them.

SPEAKER_00 26:47

Yeah, literally.

SPEAKER_03 26:49

Both of them. And then she goes, and what'd she say to you?

SPEAKER_06 26:52

Some fuck shit. She said, Yeah, bro. He was standing right there. He was standing on the other side of her. As they were, well, as they were leaving the show, as uh at the end, she stopped and like stared me up and down for I don't know, like a second, and was like, Is Joe really your dad? And I was like, Yes, ma'am, why? Thinking she was gonna bust my chops about it because everybody does. Is that really your dad? Oh man, I feel bad for you. Jokingly, I'm like, ah yeah, man, I don't think he's funny either. But she does it. She looked me with a straight ass face and goes, Ugh, I'm sorry for you. And I kept walking. And then she and like under her breath said, That's embarrassing.

SPEAKER_02 27:29

I was like, You should have kicked her in the back of the head.

SPEAKER_03 27:32

Dude, really not turned out. Not a fan of my leotard, I guess.

SPEAKER_06 27:37

That's what I was assuming. Thank you, Sean. I mean, everybody said it, everybody addressed it. The average age in there was still high. And a bunch of old people. There was a bunch of old people. I don't think it was that bad. There was a bunch of people. I mean, it wasn't like 60s, but there was most people were in their 50s at least.

SPEAKER_03 27:58

Yeah, I'd say probably upper 30s to 60.

SPEAKER_06 28:04

Right.

SPEAKER_03 28:05

Yeah. You're probably right. The average age is probably my age.

SPEAKER_06 28:08

Right.

SPEAKER_03 28:09

Maybe even Wow. Imagine that. People around my age think like me.

SPEAKER_06 28:15

Right.

unknown 28:17

Oh God.

SPEAKER_06 28:19

Yeah. I mean, there was other older people in the in the crowd, not just like well, I saw a couple older people laughing.

SPEAKER_03 28:26

You know, my dad's a tough nut to crack.

SPEAKER_06 28:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:28

You know what I'm saying? He I saw him put his head in his hand a couple times.

SPEAKER_01 28:33

You were walking it. You weren't on stage yet. You were just going up with your Leotard on while your bodysuit, what do you call it? Leotard. As he's walking to the bathroom, I said, Isaiah, is isn't that Joe's dad? He's gonna miss Joe and the Leotard.

SPEAKER_03 28:49

Did you see what the the present? The gift?

SPEAKER_01 28:53

No.

SPEAKER_03 28:53

I'll post it. I'll post it. I'll show you, but I'll post it so everybody else can see it.

SPEAKER_02 28:57

You gotta post it like right next to your face, though.

SPEAKER_03 28:59

Because you know, I looked at the picture, I was like, yeah, so Saturday, we have a great time. The show is good. We all agree. It's a consensus. I got a little bit of a buzz. You know, we pack everything up, come back here, I crash. But I had a butt, like the buzz of a good show. Yeah. So I didn't go to sleep until like two. So next morning, I'm dead. Dead to the world.

SPEAKER_06 29:25

I hear he didn't know I stole his truck.

SPEAKER_03 29:28

No, he went seeing some girl in my truck.

SPEAKER_06 29:30

Oh my god, dude.

SPEAKER_03 29:32

I probably told him he could. I just don't remember.

SPEAKER_06 29:34

You did. I I walked in there looking for mom's keys because she asked me to take her to urgent care. And you woke up out of a dead ass sleep and go, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. No, go ahead. You said, Yeah, I don't care. Go. And went back to sleep. And I was like, I wasn't even gonna ask. I was looking for mom's keys. She asked me to take her to urgent care. I I her keys weren't in there, so I was, I just was like, Love you. You went, you gone.

SPEAKER_03 29:59

Yeah, man. I was out. Did I still have my flight mask on? No. I take it off on Sundays. Yeah. That's my day to free breathe. Every other day I get like six hours with the flight mask on.

SPEAKER_00 30:16

Yeah, that's good.

SPEAKER_03 30:16

And I'm good. You know what I'm saying? But on Sunday, I get six hours with the flight mask on, and then I take it off and I snore for three or four or five hours. Wake up, watch some TV, snore some more. I love it. Anyway, street arrangements. I'm glad you said that. Michelle was helping out with the show. Did you know this? And she fucked her ankle up. No. She said it was early too. Yeah, she was. Like as we see people.

SPEAKER_01 30:42

As we were taking thousands tickets. She was in pain.

SPEAKER_03 30:46

Seating people. And she did the basketball where your ankle bone hits the fucking crack. But she had heels on.

SPEAKER_06 30:55

So it was farther.

SPEAKER_03 30:56

So she worked the rest of the night. She said it didn't even really bother.

SPEAKER_06 30:59

That a drone.

SPEAKER_03 31:00

Next morning. Joe's, yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_06 31:03

She couldn't walk.

SPEAKER_03 31:04

Yeah. Next morning he had to take her to urgent care and they gave her a boot. Damn. Don't give you no drugs no more.

SPEAKER_06 31:10

She said it helped a lot. I mean, she walked out pretty quickly.

SPEAKER_03 31:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 31:13

And I I knew there was something wrong. It woke me up because, especially in this apartment by now, because we've been here for a few years, I know both of their cadences. When they wake up in the morning, he's got a s he walks firmly, but still gets a little a little slide with it. Shuffle. And she has a slightly faster cadence. Okay. Bringing their walking.

SPEAKER_03 31:40

Go ahead. I'm kidding. Go ahead. That's the new sound.

SPEAKER_02 31:46

We could have used that.

SPEAKER_03 31:47

Yeah, we could.

SPEAKER_06 31:50

That's like the that's like the alright, you're yapping button.

SPEAKER_03 31:53

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 31:54

You're just anyway.

SPEAKER_06 31:56

Hers is faster. And it was not fast. It was slower than his. So.

SPEAKER_02 32:00

Wait, so how does Joe walk again?

SPEAKER_06 32:02

He's got a mid shuffle, like I knew he was gonna do it again.

SPEAKER_00 32:15

That's probably right.

SPEAKER_03 32:20

Oh, good job, guys. Good job.

SPEAKER_00 32:23

You see the menu still?

SPEAKER_02 32:25

You're like, but he walked, he shuffles.

SPEAKER_06 32:29

Well, I started to tell you again, then I saw him reach up there. I'm like, oh my god, he's sneaky too.

SPEAKER_03 32:35

I saw you look at me. I was trying not to make it.

SPEAKER_01 32:38

I was wondering if it's gonna be the same noise.

SPEAKER_03 32:40

Yeah. So what'd you think of uh, first of all, how'd you think Eric did?

SPEAKER_02 32:49

Dude, Eric is so goddamn funny. I remember when we see him in Mate. I mean, that was the first time I seen him, and he was just fucking- you know, because everybody goes up there and they're fucking trying to do jokes, and he's just out there just fucking free balling it. He feels like he got you can tell, you can tell those are his jokes, and he got so, but he's just out there like so free. Like he really enjoys. He enjoyed we might be comfortable on stage or getting there, but he enjoys being loose and a comfortable, yeah. Definitely not like you don't enjoy it, but like you're like, okay, I got light, you know. Right. Okay, well, I think time's up, you know. Let's get all.

SPEAKER_01 33:24

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:26

There's definitely a comfort level. It is, you can tell.

SPEAKER_03 33:30

You thought he was funny?

SPEAKER_01 33:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:31

Eric's hilarious, man.

SPEAKER_03 33:33

Yeah, I think so too. What did you think of Eric, buddy?

SPEAKER_06 33:35

I thought he was hilarious.

SPEAKER_03 33:37

Have you met him before?

SPEAKER_06 33:38

Um I don't think so.

SPEAKER_03 33:41

I don't think so either.

SPEAKER_06 33:42

Are they both from Baltimore?

SPEAKER_03 33:43

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_06 33:44

Has he ever performed a dream big?

SPEAKER_03 33:46

No.

SPEAKER_06 33:47

No.

SPEAKER_03 33:47

Not that I know.

SPEAKER_06 33:48

Because I've only ever seen you perform at Dream Big.

SPEAKER_03 33:49

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_06 33:50

I think.

SPEAKER_02 33:51

Is he coming down to CC tomorrow? No.

unknown 33:54

No.

SPEAKER_06 33:55

I meant to ask. How did you guys know when your time is up?

SPEAKER_02 34:00

Oh, I feel like I definitely uh I told you Joe asked me how much song I want to do. I was like, well, as soon as I'm done with my jokes, I'm probably gonna go off because I didn't wanna I didn't want to riff up there like fucking bomb. Like I was really afraid of bombs, that's fucking I feel like I probably did like seven minutes, maybe. It wasn't fucking ten, was it?

SPEAKER_03 34:18

Yeah, I was gonna say eight. So you're probably right. Pretty cool.

SPEAKER_06 34:21

I didn't know if there was if y'all had a light in the back or if someone was signaling.

SPEAKER_03 34:25

Normally there would be a light, yeah, but because I know them so well and I knew Umar and Eric are both professionals, that it would be fine.

SPEAKER_01 34:34

I don't like it over? No, I don't think because I I didn't time you. Yeah, I missed I think I missed two jokes.

SPEAKER_03 34:40

I didn't time you. You as long as you have them, the only time I care about anyone's time is if you don't have them.

SPEAKER_02 34:46

Right. Yeah. He does that over the mics too, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 34:49

Yeah, yeah. Because come on, man. People pay you to see this.

SPEAKER_06 34:54

Right.

unknown 34:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 34:55

Right, right. I said, but people are rolling the whole time.

SPEAKER_03 34:58

It's nothing against you. You know what I mean? I've had bad sets. I'll get the fuck off stage and we can shake hands and drink afterwards. Please don't talk about it.

SPEAKER_01 35:07

See, I want to know, I want to talk about it. I want you to tell me how amazing I am or how awful I was.

SPEAKER_03 35:11

Yeah, I don't want to talk about it that night.

SPEAKER_01 35:13

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 35:13

Coach me later.

SPEAKER_01 35:14

I like to process right away.

SPEAKER_02 35:16

I was about to say, I torture myself. As soon as I'm alone, like I'll smile, but as soon as I get in my car, I'm like, you fucking stink eyes me.

unknown 35:23

What the fuck are you doing?

SPEAKER_01 35:24

You didn't feel that way Saturday, though. No, no, I'm not great. Yeah, yeah. Whole time, whole time.

SPEAKER_03 35:28

That's the other thing. Everybody got off stage with a buzz. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 35:32

Yes. Yeah, that's good.

SPEAKER_03 35:34

How did you think Umar did?

SPEAKER_01 35:35

Good. Yeah, that was great. I haven't seen either one of them before, so I love seeing new Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_03 35:41

I thought he did good too, man. He's good, good. Both of those guys are good guys. Yeah. Cool hang. Um the one fuck it. So on Monday, I got approached. Did I tell you this already? I got approached at Lowe's in Easton. So, you know, 20 miles away from where we had the show, and asked if I was that guy. Aren't you that guy? Oh my god. Right. So I said, hey yeah, you know, how you doing? You know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And they said, I I just got that was a great show. We had such a great time, blah, blah, blah. There's just one problem. And I was like, Hair comes. Hair comes. I thought it was for sure. So she said, he said, my wife really had a problem with the choking joke. And I was like, choking joke? Who's got a choking joke? I couldn't think. I just, I don't think I did. And so long story short, I figured out that it was Umar. And for somebody to be mad at that joke just means they're not very bright. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 37:01

They heard an Indian man up there talking about choke.

SPEAKER_03 37:04

Yeah. She clammed up or something else.

SPEAKER_02 37:07

She's like, actually, I've been choked before.

SPEAKER_03 37:09

So I, of course, I was like, you know, you know, you know, ah, you know, maybe she didn't take it right, you know, nobody's trying to hurt nobody's feelings. He's a funny dude, you know.

SPEAKER_01 37:21

Do you remember the joke?

unknown 37:22

No.

SPEAKER_01 37:22

Is he talking about his wife?

SPEAKER_03 37:23

I was so I think so. I think he was talking about his wife.

SPEAKER_01 37:26

Karen. Karen.

SPEAKER_03 37:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:28

He's choking Karen.

SPEAKER_03 37:29

Yes, I think he was talking about his wife. So whatever, man. People, there's always gotta be one.

SPEAKER_01 37:35

So a woman after she loved my set, and she says, I brought my husband, and he doesn't think women are funny at all. But he thought you were funny. Oh, that's funny. And I was like, that's an unusual compliment. And then later, the two of them came up and he said he congratulated me and said that I don't usually like women. Comedians.

SPEAKER_03 38:00

It's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 38:01

I don't know. Like you're just not watching enough, I think.

SPEAKER_03 38:05

What do you think about that? Be honest.

SPEAKER_02 38:08

Alright, be honest. So, okay, when Mark's remember uh Mark's brother? Uh-huh. Shout out to Dark Mark in uh Don't Stop comedy.

SPEAKER_03 38:16

Hora.

SPEAKER_02 38:17

Yeah, Hora. He said, um, he said he's never seen a female comic that got him. And I think that's all it is. Like Sean just said, they don't see enough. Because I know uh Bonnie McFarland.

SPEAKER_03 38:28

He dropped a couple names, but I can't remember what he said.

SPEAKER_02 38:30

Yeah, and he had uh, oh, I'm sorry, and he had mentioned Maria. So, you know, I mean he clearly has women in comedy that he likes, you know. But I I know what he means though, but like I've had nights where fucking you've got me like just fucking aching over laughing, you know what I'm saying? Um can't think of a lot more whatever from there, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 38:49

Do you think it's a meritocracy though, if you're funny?

SPEAKER_02 38:52

What does that mean? What's that word?

SPEAKER_01 38:54

You're funny to everyone.

SPEAKER_02 38:55

I'm surprised you know what that word means.

SPEAKER_03 38:57

So fuck you.

SPEAKER_01 39:02

I wonder if you're gonna let that slide.

SPEAKER_03 39:04

Do you think that um the funnier people in the long run get booked? Regardless if they got a dick or a pussy, or do you think that having a pussy puts you at a disadvantage? Or do you think having a pussy puts you at an advantage?

SPEAKER_02 39:22

I like this question.

SPEAKER_01 39:23

Well, clearly um having a pussy for this show was an advantage to me because you wanted a hole on this show. But I would hope that I'm a funny hole. And that's why I became the hole for the show, right?

SPEAKER_00 39:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:40

I think that um it's a disadvantage when there has to be only or there can only be one woman, or if you have more than two women, it's an all-woman show, or that kind of stuff is bullshit. But the thing that bothers me, am I allowed to myself off for a bit? Yeah, is the um half the audience are women.

SPEAKER_00 40:03

Right, right.

SPEAKER_01 40:03

And the majority of women are getting their men to show. That's right. The men aren't like, hey, let's go to a comedy show this week if they're married or in a relationship. The woman's like, hey, I saw this thing, I saw this flyer, I heard this thing. So I think that uh not catering to female audiences is a bad move on the part of the bookers.

SPEAKER_03 40:28

I can see I can see both sides of it for sure.

SPEAKER_01 40:32

I think there are women who don't find men funny at all. Oh, for sure.

SPEAKER_03 40:35

And so there's a lot of women's comics, period, that aren't very good.

SPEAKER_01 40:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 40:40

And there's a lot of women comics that aren't very good, and they are the ones that are complaining the most. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:47

And I think uh Isaiah said to me on Saturday, which I took as a big compliment, was that a lot of women talk about sex and dating, but he thought my jokes were uniquely mine, or my voice, or how I don't know how you worded it exactly.

SPEAKER_02 41:03

Like um, I don't remember either because we were drinking.

SPEAKER_01 41:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 41:07

But uh little loose lip there, buddy.

SPEAKER_02 41:11

But I remember uh kind of like, and I probably uh said it to you before, but like um obviously women get up, and I mean men do it too, but like I've had people come up to me and be like, you don't say the N-word as much as you know, I think you should, you know, in your set. So you don't like you don't got to, you know what I mean? You can still be funny, and you're always funny, you know what I'm saying? Regardless of if it's your You just brought up a whole nother issue. Yeah, I know, we'll get there, man. But like I I think uh like the way you talk about the things in your set make it so funny, you know what I mean? Like the way you like it's all your own style, you know. I mean, like uh me and Chris were talking about like uh we're like damn, like Sean, you can tell Sean has like had stage experience, you know what I mean? Because as soon as you got him, you're gone. Yeah, you don't fuck up. Like you slipped up on your window, but like then you you got him right back. Like a lot of people fuck up, and then you know that would have been it.

SPEAKER_01 42:02

Yeah, so but you you know, the fuck that I was actually proud of myself for that fuck up recovery because I didn't let it fuck me up. And foam balls.

SPEAKER_02 42:14

I've seen a lot of women, uh, and I think a lot of women like locally are fine. Like uh Medina when you went to Austin, she went and she uh she got booked or not booked, she got a uh Pittsburgh, yeah, out of the bucket for uh the Kill Tony shit.

SPEAKER_03 42:31

And I've always I've seen her, yeah, and I've always the girl that she's light skinned, uh she has uh patches uh Venilaga Venilaga, yeah. I can't remember the name. Yeah, I heard she's a sweet girl too.

SPEAKER_02 42:43

Dude, I started with her, like she is so nice, and uh people like feedback mics and shit, and people like we would uh be chatting after the mics, and people would come up to her comics, be like, Oh man, you're you're a really good clean comic. I was like, Medina, you're clean? I was like, You're I I just thought you were funny, you know. Right, yeah, yeah. And it's like uh if you're she clean, uh yeah, but like I wouldn't even know.

SPEAKER_03 43:06

Well, that's what I was gonna say about Shauna. Shaw Sean, I'm glad that Shauna's a female, but I don't She's dirty, but she's I don't book people because they're a female almost 100% of the time. You get booked because you're funny and because I want to put on good shows. Right.

SPEAKER_00 43:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 43:24

That being said, though, you want everyone to be comfortable. Yeah, and if you throw five guys at a crowd, there's a certain percentage of people that aren't gonna be comfortable. You're gonna beat the hell out of some women. Right. It helps soften the show a little bit to throw a woman in there. It's good for the morale, it's good to have one around. So if that if I'm wrong for that, I'm wrong. But it's still a funny person. It's not just because you have a vagina.

SPEAKER_02 43:48

Yeah, you also gotta be funny, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 43:50

Right. And believe me, there's a lot of w girls that ask me to put them on stuff, or that or that sounds arrogant, I'm sorry, but. But that asked to do things, or I hear asked to do things that aren't funny, that get to do things. Because they're pretty. Because they're a woman. And there's not the pool of woman comics is sl way smaller.

SPEAKER_02 44:14

Right.

SPEAKER_03 44:14

Way smaller. There's a lot more men comics.

SPEAKER_02 44:16

I feel like there are even guys like Which makes it harder too.

SPEAKER_03 44:19

I'm I'm you know I'm saying for you.

SPEAKER_02 44:20

It's another disadvantage.

SPEAKER_01 44:21

Yeah, and I have aged sorry. Age is an issue too for me as a woman.

SPEAKER_03 44:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:26

I haven't found um actually the all start doing some casinos. You'd be a the all-woman show is the one that we were all like people kept bringing up our age, and I was like, Can you shut the fuck up? You don't need to be the menopause crew or whatever the fuck you're saying.

SPEAKER_03 44:47

Yeah, man. You start doing casinos, you'd be a spring chicken. They'd be beating your door now. Maybe signing your boobs and everything.

SPEAKER_01 44:58

Signing my boobs. Wait, they'll be signing my boobs.

SPEAKER_03 45:02

Oh, yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_02 45:05

They pay someone to sign her tits? What are you saying?

SPEAKER_03 45:08

She goes back to the hotel room all tatted up.

SPEAKER_01 45:11

I'm not giving autographs. I'm getting autographs. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03 45:15

It got confused in my head.

SPEAKER_01 45:18

I think it's an interesting topic. I just I agree. Like it doesn't matter male, female, as long as you're entertaining the audience. And just worry that sometimes comedians forget who the audience is is.

SPEAKER_03 45:31

I like nothing more that when there's a guy, guy, guy, and you see everybody's ego, like at a mic or at a you know, a showcase guy, and then there's a girl that goes up and everybody kind of assumes that it's I don't know what they assume, but they kind of stop paying attention.

SPEAKER_00 45:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 45:52

And then she does really, really well. I fucking love that, man.

SPEAKER_01 45:55

That happened to me at Church of Satire. Yeah, I'm sure it happens to you all the time. I was the only woman on that competition.

SPEAKER_03 46:01

Murdered.

SPEAKER_01 46:02

And then the April Magoobies a year ago, the one I won. I was the oldest, and nobody was paying attention to me. There's some newbies there, and I was trying to make them feel comfortable, and they were ignoring me. And I was last to go up, and I was like, fuck you all. I'm just gonna sit in the corner and see if you're gonna go.

SPEAKER_05 46:21

Because they know you, that's right.

SPEAKER_01 46:22

And then I was ready. And so I got up that was like, Yeah, how many Instagram followers want me now? Like afterwards, everyone's like, Can I get your Instagram? And I was like, Right, yeah, I'm not that old. I do have an Instagram.

SPEAKER_02 46:39

And then after you then after, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:41

Yeah, that's kind of natural. That's like a rite of passage anywhere you go, you know what I'm saying? Because there's so many fake ass motherfuckers.

SPEAKER_02 46:46

I'm gonna start giving them a fake Instagram. Yeah, I'm about to start giving them my homeboy Nick's Instagram. Fuck it. I'll be like 448 raises why. You got a picture of a black dude up there anyway.

SPEAKER_03 46:57

Like would you will you what's up with you? You were gonna say something?

SPEAKER_06 47:00

Well, I was I was gonna say I agree with Izzy, because I feel like from the women that I've seen perform live comedy, yes.

SPEAKER_03 47:09

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_06 47:10

And and recorded. Like on TikTok or whatever. Netflix and TikTok and everything. I feel like generally speaking, a lot of the content is similar. A lot of what I've seen. I'm not saying that it is, but what I've have been fed through my algorithms. You mean like their source material? Yes, yeah. So you know, boyfriends and dating and etc. etc. But the way that you told your jokes, I don't know if it was the delivery or your tone or just I mean, all of it. It could have been a accumulation of all of it. I thought it was uh a step higher. Cause I think I think they're I think most com comedy I've seen, even with that standard set, is funny, but it's kind of like because I've heard it before. But yours was had me rolling at a couple points. It's just the way that you would lay it on, you know. I I don't know. It's something about it was different. Good.

SPEAKER_01 48:14

People tell the thing I get feedback most on is you don't look like those things should come out of your mouth. That probably helps you. That too. It's my whole life. I've been people have been saying that to me. So well, when I started saying things out loud.

SPEAKER_02 48:28

I think that was the best compliment I got in comedy. Fucking uh Craig Paul, he said, You don't look like you tell jokes. I'm like, thank you. I know motherfuckers at, you know, and I know what he meant. Like black dudes, you know what I'm saying? Young black niggies, like, you know, they'd be up there like shooting and shit. And you've seen it, we seen it in Baltimore, you know, fucking uh here, everywhere, like fucking the uh and that's what I was about to say. Like, I've heard guys bitch about uh oh shit, she's on a lot of shoes, and that's like well, I'm yeah, as soon as you hear that, I'm like, ah, dude, really? Yeah, like come on, you know what I'm saying? Like, you're you're mad about that, like, but uh I hate that.

SPEAKER_03 49:07

There are people to get with people though, and jokes just appear all of a sudden and oh for sure.

SPEAKER_01 49:12

Wait, say that again.

SPEAKER_03 49:12

I said there are people like girl comics that I've seen it over and over again, especially younger comics in the game that get with somebody's been in the game for a while, and all of a sudden their jokes take a big leap. You know what I'm saying? And not delivered, not delivered well, but uh they get better.

SPEAKER_02 49:28

Yeah, man. And that's like the thing, like everybody can find a reason to complain. But I mean, I feel like shit's like uh they might just be some personal shit.

SPEAKER_03 49:36

I don't care about that. I'd suck dick for dirt jokes.

SPEAKER_02 49:39

Yeah, me too. I'd suck dick for stage time if I were a woman. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not gonna lie, I'd take it up to shitter for a fucking spot at the comedy store or something.

SPEAKER_01 49:48

That's how I got all my spots.

SPEAKER_02 49:51

I mean, that's a woman, if I were a woman.

SPEAKER_03 49:53

Oh, oh, oh. That makes it better.

SPEAKER_02 49:55

Can I get an applause? Can I get an applause?

SPEAKER_03 50:00

Oh shit. Um all right, so I think I've talked all over one about the show. Is that alright?

SPEAKER_02 50:07

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_03 50:08

Can I talk about something else?

SPEAKER_02 50:09

Yes, ma'am.

SPEAKER_03 50:11

Did you watch the um Did you see Yes Ma'am? Yes, man.

SPEAKER_06 50:15

Yes Man? I heard yes ma'am. My fault.

SPEAKER_03 50:18

Do um did you watch the thing yet? No. Alright, so Focus All Com Focus All Comedy on YouTube.

SPEAKER_02 50:26

Oh, I have watched it. I thought you were talking about that uh the Netflix shit.

SPEAKER_03 50:30

No. Focus all comedy on YouTube has the what started out as the tag mic, and now we call big swings.

SPEAKER_01 50:37

Oh, I like it.

SPEAKER_03 50:38

Yeah. So we're kind of gonna let it be what it turned into the last 30 minutes. Still helping everybody, but you know, it got like real jokey. The last 30 minutes was real real loose, real loose, real good, man. So show keeps telling me I gotta sell less tickets because so we can have more room to make it look better. But part of it is the crowd interaction, you know what I'm saying? I just might have to count on the comics to not be fucking crazy.

SPEAKER_02 51:11

Or honestly, uh, nah.

SPEAKER_03 51:13

We could definitely cut that backstage thing in half.

SPEAKER_02 51:16

Right, yeah, cut that in half, and uh yeah, yeah. We'll figure it out. I don't know, it was something like uh I don't know about I don't know, man. Show's been doing it for a while, you know what I mean? So he knows I get like the best angles and all that, but at some point it's a I it's still gotta be fun.

SPEAKER_03 51:33

You still gotta capture the fun. He's looking at me.

SPEAKER_02 51:38

It's always gonna be a little different, but right maybe like a different space. But he was talking about that like later on. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 51:46

I at least want to get it started there, and I think it's gonna be fun. And I I actually talked to Bam Jacobs today about taking it away from there and doing one somewhere else.

SPEAKER_02 51:56

Yeah, I was about to say just one. Yeah, I mean, you don't gotta like do all of them.

SPEAKER_03 51:59

Well then you get different pools of comics too, you know what I'm saying? And you can include you know, comics of all levels who can't necessarily drive from wherever we go. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 52:10

Yeah. How many comics went up?

SPEAKER_02 52:14

Not a lot. I didn't have a lot of comics. I think it was eight.

SPEAKER_01 52:18

Eight.

SPEAKER_02 52:19

Well, six. We had six comics go up, eight people went up is what you know, that's probably the better way to put it. Let's be honest here. The two aren't talking about aren't listening to this, so fuck them.

SPEAKER_03 52:32

Yeah, but it made it fun. Yeah, you know, I mean, a couple, a couple, you know, wild, I just call it what it is, man. Crack pop motherfuckers go up on stage. You know what I'm saying? It's fun. That's why everybody watches the first episode of American Idol. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 52:48

To see the people fail.

SPEAKER_02 52:51

Like we had uh we had a couple guys go up there and apologize for things they said to people. They're like, yeah, uh, I'm sorry I roasted you right there. Uh okay, here are my tags. I'm like, dude, come on. Max, next, next. Like, you we're not doing that shit here.

SPEAKER_03 53:06

It was good, though.

SPEAKER_02 53:07

We're joking with each other.

SPEAKER_03 53:08

Like, we can do that. Yeah, yeah. It'll get better every time, I think. For sure. You'd be there next time. I missed it. Nah, you're good. Next time you'll be there and it'll be fun. Hell yeah. Um you gotta come to that show.

SPEAKER_06 53:21

The next tag lab? Yeah. Big swings.

SPEAKER_03 53:24

Big swings, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 53:25

Do you think we should cap it? Like the comics?

SPEAKER_03 53:27

Uh, we're gonna have a negotiation.

SPEAKER_02 53:30

I know a lot of comics are gonna want to like pop out now and do it. You know, that's fucking they've seen it now.

SPEAKER_06 53:35

So are you gonna keep the same same three judges? You, Izzy, and Mark at the time?

SPEAKER_03 53:42

Uh-uh. Mark is the seat. He took the took the bullet for the pilot episode. So his seat changes every time. And then whoever wants to get on it, I think that is gonna have to become a list situation, an email situation, something it's gonna be have to be set up before time in order to control the numbers.

SPEAKER_02 54:06

Right.

SPEAKER_03 54:07

I don't I don't know how. I want to keep it open too to some degree though, because I like when people, wild people get up there, you know what I mean? It's fun.

SPEAKER_02 54:15

Yeah, that's what I say. You can't we I don't know, you can't you can't filter something like that.

SPEAKER_03 54:19

Like you can't filter it. Being a bucket draw is kind of cool, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 54:23

Was it a bucket draw? You had more than eight?

SPEAKER_03 54:25

No, no, but yeah, but if it would have been 30, we were only gonna pull until we reached a time point.

SPEAKER_01 54:30

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 54:31

Which we reached anyway. Yeah, because it's an hour and a half long.

SPEAKER_00 54:34

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 54:35

Actually, it's like five minutes short, I think.

SPEAKER_02 54:37

SPEAKER_03 55:53

Uh actually I think he did, didn't he?

SPEAKER_02 55:54

SPEAKER_03 55:59

Yeah, Richard Pryor is one of my faves, man. Do I think his shit still holds up? Yeah, man. Performative, smart.

SPEAKER_02 56:07

I don't know, man. I've heard a lot of people say they freebash holds up. What? Yeah, because nobody's like freebasing no more. That's right. At least the people that are, you know, they're probably still thinking Rich is alive.

My boyfriend was at GW, George Washington. And they played in the gym. And it was like having the talking heads play at your prom. Like we were on the gym floor dancing. It was the best concert. And then I'm not a big concert fan. That one was you can't beat that one.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:01

Yeah, a long time. I didn't see him. Every once in a while, I'd see one of them see the top of their heads.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:06

Up in the top of the crowd surfing. All you have to do is walk into the middle of it and go. And people start lifting you.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:12

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:13

That's awesome, dude.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:15

I'd be gasping the whole time. But oh my god, it's only grabbed me.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:19

We used to go to them big festival shows. There'd be, you know, 200,000 people on a football field, and the band would be playing, and you were packed in there so fucking tight that when they jump, you didn't have to jump. You could lift your feet up off the floor and you wouldn't hit the floor.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:37

Mind freak!

SPEAKER_03 1:02:38

I love that chat, man. I love it. But it was so it was like a feeling. If something happens, you're dead.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:43

And the whole crowd would go woo woo like this, but you couldn't move your feet, and you just have to you have to know that it's going to come back this way.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:52

Right. Oh shit. But if you fall down, you die.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:54

She screams at you and just you know what I'm saying? It's funny for 10 minutes. And I think that's why she fizzled out. I don't know. Maybe not. She starts out really strong. I mean, she's probably a cool person. You know what I mean? She's and she's funny, but she's like black cock, you know, rah, rah, rah.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:08

For women.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:09

Well, listen to me. It's what you make it. Yeah. Man, I went. I ain't nobody. I went and I had fun and got paid some money to do some comedy and everybody open arms to a degree. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:22

Of course, you're not just gonna walk right in somewhere and I think she was talking about it from a woman's perspective. What do you mean, like being taken care of, taken advantage of or something?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:31

The sexism, I guess. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:33

What? They do say can you imagine? They say anything.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:38

I mean, go, I would go in there shocked to know that they were.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:42

But it's all of them. They're very free. You know what I'm saying? I think that Rogan and that crew coming to Austin, because Austin was a liberal area. I went there before Rogan and they had a comedy scene. Yeah. You know, Christina and all of them were doing comedy before Rogan was there.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:56

Bill Hicks did the original laugh style that was in Houston. I have the picture saved in my phone.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:00

Houston's a different place in Austin.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:02

Oh, well, I'm sorry. I did, I thought they were the same. Lord. Go ahead, Joe.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:08

I've driven from one to the other. Yeah. Like nearly five hours drive. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:13

I want to live in between them, exactly where I want to live.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:15

Austin's great.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:16

So, but I think it needed a little dose of, you know, because they say keep Austin weird. You know, keep you know, keep your California out of Texas. Yeah. I agree with all that. You know what I'm saying? But Austin had a little bit of a lot of that anyway. And now you can kind of say whatever you want.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:34

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:35

And it's the thing. That's the only way comedy grows is if you can say anything you want.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:39

And you don't have to fucking laugh at it.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:42

Right. And if you don't laugh at it, then it starts. They're not going to say it again. Exactly. Because the point is to make people laugh. Right. Fucking dumb, man. Sorry, I'll get off my suitbox.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:52

I remember when we went to Austin, everybody was happy. Like you're rolling down the street. They're just happy. Everybody was happy.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:01

That's because you're with you. You were with your dad.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:04

Man, you was you weren't as big as you are that back then, though. Smiling at people. Yeah, but I just you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 1:12:11

I just shuck and drive and I mean across the street.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:14

Like, didn't even pay attention, pay no attention to us.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:17

Oh, I gotcha.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:18

In you know, uptown Austin. Just all the power.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:22

Just got all the positive power.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:24

That's when we play the crickets.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:30

No, no, I didn't mean to say it like that. I just mean to say like it's but you make it.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:34

Well, yeah, for sure. Which everything.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:37

Yeah, everything.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:38

Every day.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:39

This seemed like generally a happier area than Denton, Maryland.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:46

They're still tall, grumpy plumbers in Austin as well.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:50

Yeah, but they get paid a little bit more, so they're not as grumpy.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:52

Oh, I guess the cost of living is also higher. The other thing is there, I don't think you've you've been there in the summer when it was real hot, right? No. No.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:00

We were there for New Year's.

unknown 1:13:02

New Year's.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:03

Yeah. Because remember, mom mom always has been joking about we brought a cold front to them. Yeah, that's real hot for a few years, and then we went down that road.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:12

Oh my god. That's where we were. That's where we went for New Year's and we saw the fireworks, you know, the skyline and sitting on the grass. That's where he's talking about.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:20

We saw it right on the other side of the river from the uh Google building.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:25

Yep, that's right. Anyway, um, so it was nice. But when you go and it's August, you learn that it's there's certain things and you don't feel it the same. It's like here it's 90 degrees and you feel like you can't breathe. There it can be 110 degrees and you don't sweat.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:45

Because it's dry.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:46

Because it's dry. But if you leave a hammer sit out in a fucking sun, it'll melt your fingers together. You know what I'm saying? It's weird. Uh the other one other thing I like is you go from the sun to the shade, and there's a big differential in temperature. Whereas here, it'd be 98 in the shade and 90. Might as well just stay in the heat. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, might as well just stay in the heat. Out there, you go in the shade, it feels like you take a breath. This Friday, we are at Cinnamon CC22 in C for Delaware with just Dev, Nancy Burkat, Zach Spicer.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:26

He said Gary Bradwell might come out.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:35

We should take your hair, shave it off, okay? But make a hat out of it, and you could put it on when you go in there, and then when you bend over, it'll all fall off, and you could be like, I didn't do it on purpose.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:45

Or cut it to like you're like a like uh like an old Chinese master. Like you do the same thing, you bend over and then you're back, and now you're Mr. Miyagi.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:56

Or you could let it grow a little bit longer before you get here and then make it into like a curtain, like sew it into a curtain, and every time you bend over, change your shoes. Full man chew.
