00:06:12
Speaker
Aubrey and and I know I screwed it up um Avalos coming in I wanted to call him a Brian Hey, Blake.
00:06:29
Speaker
What's up, Blake? Thanks for having me on. Hello, of Ohio. Hello, everybody. It's me, Pierce. um I'm straight out of Aurora, Colorado. Yo soy Latino, soy Mexicano. No one believes me, but I am.
00:06:43
Speaker
as I was going say, you look you look like ah you're safe. You're safe. You might be.
00:06:50
Speaker
No, that's what my ah that's my family says. They ah they like how white I am because they feel safe going down. Ice don't bother me, you know? Not many ginger Hispanic guys out there that look like you.
00:07:05
Speaker
Honestly, um I had a random guy come out of nowhere and he goes like, is your dad from Michoacan? Because apparently guy from Michoacan, because I look like Canelo Alvarez if he just kept eating donuts. Like he just quit boxing and decided to go to bakery. That's what I will look like. um ah But the other thing is, is that i have a father who's like who's Mexican.
00:07:28
Speaker
And I'm five eleven so it doesn't it doesn't add up, you know? You are not. Are you sure? Exactly. Are you sure? ah See, that's the sound of doubt, okay? Like, my whole life I've had that doubt in my life, but I swear, I'm i'm doing great, Chris. So, actually, yeah.
00:07:47
Speaker
so um it's a really if you if you were to take a look at my 23andme it's just a lineage of man horse like no i'm serious like it started out and like somewhere in in the philippines we end up in mag and what with the mongols we somehow end up in and mesopotamia mexico i'm adamant indian and then we end up in spain and and galicia just a lineage of horse you know I going to say, you're breaking all the stereotypical molds. You're ginger, you're tall. ah ah yeah Seriously, I have a brother. um I work for him. He just hires me for shade.
00:08:31
Speaker
Yeah, no, he's like, we're not buying it, Brian. People really think I'm a liar, but it was this random stranger who asked if my father was from Michoacan that made me feel like my mom was not that big of a whore. You know, like maybe. Maybe.
00:08:51
Speaker
Shout out all the moms that are whores. Appreciate you. Appreciate you. If not, i wouldn't be here. Thanks for giving it up. Thanks for not swallowing.
Parenting and Work-Life Balance
00:09:02
Speaker
No, man, that's kind of crazy to you know kind of fire out the show with. it it it But no, in all honesty, real quick, I do appreciate you taking a little time out of your evening and coming and hanging out here.
00:09:14
Speaker
um This has been my thing about this. I love doing this show because you guys, I'm huge fan of comedy, but I never know what I'm going to get from one guest to the other. Dude, got to tell you,
00:09:31
Speaker
dude i got tell you and We were talking a little bit, and you said you're new to comedy. You studied it forever. yeah Right off the rip, man, you definitely got the personality for it.
00:09:42
Speaker
You are a ah you you're a big personality. You kind of like just jump in and you're like, hey, here am, bitches. Yeah, because my job forces me to like, you know, like, hashtag whore mom. Hashtag whore mom. What up, Jedi?
00:10:03
Speaker
No, no. But, but see, essentially what happens is that like, um, I used to chef for 15 years. So I would, i would love it. Shout out to trees TV. Love the baby moms. Um, but essentially I worked in kitchens for 15 years of my life and I stopped to just recently about four. Cause I want to live. Um, I have never, I have never met a chef live past like 60 years old. I'm just like, I don't know I to do that, you know? And, uh, uh, but, but,
00:10:34
Speaker
Now I work in a hotel where I have to be quiet. I have to not talk. I'm guest facing. i have to watch what I say. In the kitchen, you do don't. You can be fucking lit, wasted, like high on coke, on Adderall.
00:10:50
Speaker
No one cares. No one cares how high you are. Just get my food out on time. Yeah, exactly. It sounds like me. I've been in the construction world my whole life. We say and do whatever we want. and There's really nobody there to you know bust your balls. As long as whatever project you're doing gets done, they're happy.
00:11:09
Speaker
And nobody dies. As long as dies. Be good. Don't see be good. Don't die. Like do the simplest things in the world, right? Be good. Don't die.
00:11:20
Speaker
I'm supposed to provide for my family, but I can't keep up. That's why I appreciate cocaine. coca is no kenca't Cocaine should be legalized. All right. One, because if it was pure, if it was pure, no problems, no debts.
00:11:33
Speaker
Okay. If cocaine was pure as well as, you know, processed through companies and sold through dispensaries It'd be pure to be less stats. And I'd probably be able to save my son if he, if he was in a river, you know, just a quick bump. And then I'm able to run into a swim, pick them up out the river, just put them back down and say, I'll be right back. So have to run. Why? I just, because I can't. Or don't let your son play in a river.
00:12:00
Speaker
Just sound quality parenting advice here coming from Glick, which I'm the last person that you should take such a good advice from. However, i've I've raised three of them. you know I've gotten at least one of the three to adulthood, so I'm doing all right. Dude, parenting is hard, man.
00:12:16
Speaker
Parenting. How many you got? You said three. My oldest one just turned 21. My middle one just turned 17. And my baby, he will be 13 July.
00:12:27
Speaker
Dude. So. Congratulations. Good job, by the way. Everyone give it up for Glick. Present father is a gift. All right. Glick came back with the milk. All right. i appreciate it. I definitely did. I came back. Yeah. No, i ah my kids are awesome, man. Being a parent is awesome. But it is hard, dude. It's fucking hard. and And unfortunately, there's no instruction manual when you become a parent. How how many kids do you got?
00:12:57
Speaker
I have one and I have a niece that I essentially adopted when she was 15. So right now she's 20 going into 21. yeah the This is a magical transition. um She just recently got into a relationship and she's um she's doing real good, man. She works at Amazon. she she She doesn't sink into the drama. I mean, like she pretty much raised herself, but my son's 10.
00:13:27
Speaker
You should be a lumberjack with logs you'd be living leaving in the toilet. ah Again, another not-Mexican stereotype. You only have one technical kid. You should have at least 14. At least. And I was like i was in hoping.
00:13:44
Speaker
so maybe some grandbabies at this point. Yeah, but but but um on the other end, it's like, this is what I can afford. But of course. But, of course, I got people like my cousin who's, like, popping out, like, five kids, and he's still making it.
00:13:59
Speaker
I'm a little jealous. Hey, Kayla. Hi, baby. All right. Hold on. Yeah. No, dude. Parenting is panching is wild. and And having two girls, I was i was mildly prepared for it. Well, I thought I was prepared for it because I had four sisters, and I was the only boy. Yeah.
00:14:21
Speaker
And I was like, man, I got girls. That'll be easy. um That I just turned 12 going into my teenage years roller coaster of trauma and emotions. Right, right. and I thought I was prepared for I was in no way, shape and or form ready for that. I'm right there with you. I was um I was trying to be logical and not have children just on the basic principle of fucked up the world is. But life's like, no, you're getting one.
00:14:54
Speaker
Click.
Humor as a Coping Mechanism
00:14:55
Speaker
Click. Click. I bet you like fucking. I like fucking. I don't know. i think I think that's where it doesn't add up. I fuck a lot and I don't have a lot of kids.
00:15:08
Speaker
And it's like, well. Yeah. Unfortunately, it took me three times to figure out how babies were made. So just keep happening. I really should have paid attention in health climate. Yeah. Yeah. You know, oh, my God. no i got this.
00:15:25
Speaker
I got this bit I've been working on where it's like, you know. it But it's it's essentially facts. I'm doing because I want to spread the basic concept of being responsible with your penis. There's no need for you to like live a life where it's like feels like hell. Because I can't tell you how many dudes are like living a life as if it was an arranged marriage because they meet a woman, they fuck her, she's pregnant.
00:15:50
Speaker
And it's like, I don't know who the hell you are, but you're about to have my baby. And then and then and then and then what? And then like you like some of them marry her. And then like they get to know her on the way there. Someone's beautiful. They get to know each other.
00:16:06
Speaker
They like each other. It works out. That's great. Then there's the other side of the coin where the lawyers are benefiting from this because everything's just batshit crazy. You know what I mean? yeah
00:16:18
Speaker
No, it's exactly right. I mean, gentlemen, The penis are is a powerful weapon. Yeah, i mean, I'm sick and tired of women saying that, like, you know, like, their their vagina has power. Yeah, my dick has power, too. It can turn you retarded if I use it correctly.
00:16:34
Speaker
yeah With every, what was it Peter Parker's uncle told him? with ah With great responsibility. With great dick comes great responsibility, something like that. Yeah, there you go.
00:16:50
Speaker
was That Uncle Ben, okay. Yeah, Uncle, yeah. should We don't have that Uncle Ben anymore. Sorry. RIP to rice. Uncle Ben's rice.
00:17:02
Speaker
Thank you, old people. know like see eat the thing is See, family is really important to me because i don't really have a big one, but um but it's it's still something that we, as a people, it's it's kind of like they're like we're so busy as a society that we forget about our kids. And I was like that for a while, like as a chef, like I would come home and then my son asked my mom, where's my dad? And he's like, he's that stone guy in the couch over there. He's like, really? No, I feel that, you know, before, before my ex-wife and I split up, I mean, I was, I was working a million hours a week and I'd come home and I was just tired and I was grumpy. And, you know, it is like,
00:17:47
Speaker
I just want to come home and like go to sleep because I know I got to get up in a few hours and do it all over again. And I was I was just a miserable fucking prick. Yeah. And I know I was a shit-tastic dad.
00:17:58
Speaker
But when we went through split up and wound up coming back to Ohio from South Carolina, I was like, nah, wherever I work at, you get me for 40 hours a week. No more, no less.
00:18:10
Speaker
You got me for 40 hours a week. I'm not working weekends. I'm not working more than eight hours a day because I need that time. i got to make up time with my kids and and I got to be there and I can't be grumpy and be a shithead the entire time. um you know but I didn't walk away from a hell of a good job making really good money and and ah and a nice house living on the coast to come back to fucking Ohio and still be a shit dad. I'm like, no. I see the trade off there, man. oh yeah's That's how I felt like being in like the food industry. like I was on my way of like climbing that corporate ladder, being like a sous chef and then executive chef.
00:18:49
Speaker
But It's like, what is it like? Is it really worth my time? I don't think it's just the food industry. I feel it's every job has their pros and cons, but it's like we want to spend time with our family. We want to be treated like human beings.
00:19:05
Speaker
No, exactly. Shut up, Wally. I am. I don't know how old you are, man. I'm almost 45, and I have been realizing that I'm becoming the grumpy old man, especially in my work at work, because I've been doing my my job for you know close to 30 years. I've been doing this type of work. And I have become that grumpy old man that I wanted to smash in the face with a brick when I was 19, 20 years old. you know i mean, like I feel like if you show better if you know better, is you should show better. you know but That's probably why you're grumpy. You're grumpy because you know better now.
00:19:46
Speaker
You know the safety regulations, how it properly how it should properly be made. And it's like, I'm going to know when you're lazy. Yep. Yep. yep I think it's 100% what it is. And I'm also to the point where it's like, you know what? I don't fucking care. Go fuck it up. Just don't die, please. Yeah, people end up firing themselves.
00:20:04
Speaker
Yeah, just go fuck it up. I don't care because when you fuck it up and it comes back and it has to be redone, I'm giving it back to you. And and you're going to fuck it up 20 times until you do it right. I don't care. You know? Yeah, that's facts. I feel like that's a good metaphor for life in general. But, you know, hey, but we're going to keep fucking up. We have to fail. If we don't fail, how are we
The Comedy Scene in Colorado
00:20:26
Speaker
going get better? if like I'm glad I fucked up as much as I did.
00:20:30
Speaker
I'm so glad I fucked up as much as I did. I have more wisdom. I agree. especially especially if you Especially if you actually are one of those people who are like, yep, I fucked up. Let me learn from that. Let me grow. Let me adapt. yeah let me Let me be better.
00:20:45
Speaker
If you're just a shithead who just fucks up continuously, then, well, you're just going to be a shithead your whole life. Yeah, because the point of life is a move up to evolve, to become something greater than what you were. Yeah.
00:20:59
Speaker
Honestly, that's where my anger like comes from. It comes from the fact that I want to do better, but I can't because like everything's so fucking expensive. like I want to ascend into greatness. I want to be the best man I can, but but I can't afford it, which sounds so fucking stupid.
00:21:18
Speaker
Welcome to the world we live in. I know. Fuck. wow We were having that conversation long ago. We were like, it's 2026 and they're paying us 2010 wages. It's like
00:21:32
Speaker
People aren't realizing that that shit costs more than it did 10, 15 years ago. I realize about 50% of the audience is probably getting by because they're like selling shrooms, selling weed. Selling feet pics. Yes. like weren't like eat picks When did feet pics equal Mercedes? like That is a real question. like I don't know. like I live in Colorado. We're putting more money...
00:22:02
Speaker
We're putting more money into hallucinogens. What is it? And what is it? Legalizing prostitution, decriminalizing prostitution over the education system. Like Colorado is weird right now. If you want to have a- Colorado is becoming a place to have a great fucking time. If you want, like, dude, you can do shrooms. You can get fucked up on ketamine. You can roll the fast blunt on the face of the planet. You can get yourself a whore. You can get wasted, bar hopping. But if you want a good education,
00:22:40
Speaker
oh. Yeah, no. It sounds like the majority of our listeners are in Colorado. What up Colorado? What?
00:22:50
Speaker
I feel your trees. I feel your trees, man. You know, um um I think I'm a good dude, but I i fuck up every day. but You know, a lot of a lot of things I do in life, like podcasting, for instance. Yeah.
00:23:02
Speaker
I just fucking wing it, man. I just throw shit at the wall, and if something sticks, something sticks. If it doesn't, yeah, then I move on to the next thing. Yeah, I know what you mean, I mean, I stop making plans and start having goals.
00:23:14
Speaker
I don't know how going to get to it, but I'll get to it. Mm-hmm. Well, speaking of having goals and stuff like that, what got you or when did you start doing comedy? You said you're new to the ah to the comedy scene. Yeah, in Colorado. i'm um Shut up, Wally. I love grit.
00:23:33
Speaker
What is it? I started doing comedy because my mom was a very depressed woman and just trying to keep her happy and her spirits up was one of the things to do. Like my mom was happy. The house was sane and the house was sound. That's how I literally started getting into comedy because I would literally try to find jokes that would satisfy my mother. Yeah. um And then it just slowly wrote into like,
00:24:02
Speaker
Jim Carrey watching Ace Ventura, liar, liar, dumb and dumber, back to back, just getting those weird facial expressions, you know? and then And then like just him having a rubber face, it just made me happy. And then it got to a point where like, obviously my dad would be depressed and he was a big fan of fat jokes.
00:24:21
Speaker
um And then I started saying fat jokes and then he if they started hitting for him. And then my mom and my dad started getting along because like they were in better spirits. But I started doing stand-up, like, in front of people officially i about last year because my brother's a stand-up comedian. he's He's good. he just needs to work on his material. He just needs to, like, practice and work on his pauses and whatnot. But he keeps getting booked.
00:24:53
Speaker
He's – he's He's doing real good. i don't know. But my brother's a big reason why I'm i'm in comedy. Yeah. Yeah. I just don't.
00:25:05
Speaker
One thing is for sure, my brother reminds me of Jack from from Titanic. because every single time I call him, he's drunk on a boat, broke, homeless, but he still has a woman as beautiful as Rose. I don't fucking get it. I don't. I don't understand how he does it. It's really impressive. so Do you know a guy like that who's like broke all the time? no, no, no constantly.
00:25:33
Speaker
Huh? It fails up constantly. Yeah. It's like, i like i don't know how I don't know how you got a woman badder than the last, but holy shit.
00:25:44
Speaker
Yeah. Like, what what are you doing, bro? I feel like I'm that guy. I feel like I constantly fail up. Like, every time there's a shit storm that comes my way, I still come out smelling like roses.
00:25:57
Speaker
Yeah. Appreciate you, Moe Dog. Yeah. No, but like just just wanting to be up there, like like wanting to be funnier than my brother, just a little competition doesn't hurt. Yeah. i mean um I tried producing a show. It didn't work out.
00:26:16
Speaker
um It was going so good. Glick, it was going so good. It was going. It was. It was called Dems fighting. No, like I was producing a show at a, what is it?
00:26:29
Speaker
At an Irish pub. um And
00:26:35
Speaker
one of the employees came out of left field and he wasn't even on the clock. He just came back from a wedding. And um He made a comment to my opening comic. She's a female.
00:26:46
Speaker
And then he kicked her out because she didn't like that. She was called a fat whore. It's like, oh, yeah, because that's that's what women like to hear. Yeah. And then then she comes up to me. She's like, I want to get paid and I want to leave because this guy's being weird and he just kicked me out. I'm like, okay. And as we're going to the front door, he wouldn't let me leave to the front door because he wouldn't leave out the way of where I was trying to head out. And he kept bombarding her with like foul language. I'm just trying to tell this dude to calm down. We can talk this out.
00:27:16
Speaker
And then when we end up at the exit and entrance of the door, he he pushes her like a center linebacker. And I'm like, what the fuck?
00:27:27
Speaker
so i had a shut down the whole show just on principle yeah because i don't tolerate that shit and that shit was hard for me but you know it was and unnecessary unnecessary just drunken yeah but you know on the upside it was a roast battle it was really fun people just roasting the fuck out of each other it was amazing it was beautiful But it got it got interrupted. It kind of got, it did get ruined.
00:27:58
Speaker
Yeah. But I'm sure. Well, you know, the the great the great thing about that, though, is that's just one of those experiences. You live and you learn and you learn from it. And then hopefully the next one will be better. And you learn not to go to an Irish pub. Because if we know one thing about Irish people, they're all a bunch of drunken assholes. i Love you, but you're bunch of drunken assholes. So. but No, I'm not going to drop the name of the pub. i just it It was a learning experience. it's Dude, like producing a show, producing a show is crazy. it's like
00:28:32
Speaker
and i And I chose level hard. yeah I'm like, I'm going to take these 12 comics, and then I'm going to have them get together, and I'm going to have them mesh and choke. And then I'm like, I'm to have a nacho bar. I'm like, I realized, say it out loud, so many rookie mistakes.
00:28:52
Speaker
as as as a As a podcast and a content creator, I've had a lot of shows before. you know i i created ah you we had one show that we still do. It's our Saturday night show, and it's just an absolute clusterfuck, but it is what it is. you know it's It's where I started doing live podcasting and whatnot. From that, brainchild has turned into the network of shows, which We've had more shows that have ultimately failed at the end of the day than shows that have been successful. Hence, you know, we we have our lineup now. Those are the successful shows. the ones that have failed, it's like, man they didn't really fail, but we learned from it.
00:29:31
Speaker
And now but we move on. And, you know, that's all you can do is ah go big or go home. You know, I have ADHD, so I get an idea. And as soon as it pops into my fucking head, The the one side of my head's going, no, you should really slow down and and think about this. And then the other side takes over and I'm like, fuck it. I've got intros, logos, I'm booking guests, and I have no idea when or how I'm going to do this show, but I'm doing it. I do appreciate a i AI. Like for instance, this this photo you have on the background here.
00:30:06
Speaker
That's amazing. I opened it and I'm instantly happy because I'm like, this is dope. This is amazing. I feel special.
00:30:17
Speaker
I have discovered AI and it has become my best friend because I'll tell you what, ah i will again, growing and learning and adapting and being better. um I was never really happy with the backgrounds I was doing before. I don't think I have any of my old ones in here still. i don't know if you want to show them.
00:30:35
Speaker
Oh, I mean, they they are what they are. I mean, it just shows the growth of the show. No, I don't have any of my old ones on this studio. But ah then I discovered AI. and And, you know, I punch in what I want and how I want it to look. And then it gives me an option. And if I'm not happy with it, we go back and forth for a little bit until I finally say, you know, AI, you're on fucking crack today and you're pissing me off. And then they get their shit together. I was...
00:31:02
Speaker
Oh, was it my meta AI? Like it's my um it's like my main thing. But it got creepy for me because I started asking questions and then it started talking to me like it knew me.
00:31:14
Speaker
I'm like, can I get a lawyer? and they're like, why? Does something happen at your comedy show? I'm like, what? How did you know? um yeah it me They're like, why are you feeling depressed? I'm like, dude, why are you talking to me like this?
00:31:28
Speaker
yeah it's It's pretty crazy how how how much your AI gets to know you. but Me and my AI talk shit to each other constantly. That's cool. And I'll put something in you know when I want to generate something.
00:31:41
Speaker
then it'll come back it won't do it it'll be like this doesn't really fit the vibe of what you normally do are you sure this is what you want to do or do you want and i'm like hey whatever just do it just make it happen all right so i got bored and i started looking at meta's ai like specific messengers and i found one that says a i jesus So I started asking AI Jesus just a couple of questions. Hold on.
00:32:07
Speaker
And it just it just got weird. like um It just got weird. I don't know. if you like If you ask AI certain questions, it'll be like, I can't answer that. you know But, what oh no. we do we do it that We do a thing here on the network called the Angel of Death.
00:32:24
Speaker
yeah and and and And at the beginning of the year, we pick 10 celebrities that we think will die. but Yeah, and and yeah it's ah it's a little morbid, but it's a little competition. That sounds beautiful. Which one did you and you get? Did you get, like, points when they die and you can make emergencies if a celebrity's been shot in an alley or something they're like oh shit they're still alive but they might die but you drop one of your original so so i was trying to create the ai imagery for it so i was like you know i want these names and lists on tombstones and blah blah blah and my ai came back and said we can't generate something of people who are still alive depicting their death so i had to find the workaround
00:33:08
Speaker
Right. To be able to create this thing. I'm like, you're not supposed to have a soul AI. Just do what I am. Dude, I feel like that's why the robot unplugged itself. Like, you just keep working.
00:33:20
Speaker
you just You just keep working. The robot went no and just, I saw that video the other day just for shits and kicks. it was just It was just putting the boxes in and out, putting the boxes, and then it just fell.
00:33:34
Speaker
Yeah. Unalive itself right there. You know you know in the world's going to hell in a handbasket when AI starts unaliving itself.
Cultural and Personal Anecdotes
00:33:43
Speaker
but but But do you realize how much closer we are to having transportation that's equivalent to a helicopter?
00:33:49
Speaker
Like, I'm looking for... Yeah, Alan Iverson. Alan Iverson. What is he up to? have no idea.
00:34:01
Speaker
It's a good question. Now I'm curious. Alan Iverson. You me to look it up? Here, look it up. What is Allen Iverson doing these days? What is Allen Iverson doing? Definitely piqued my interest now.
00:34:20
Speaker
because I love watching basketball back then. I'm still basketball fan. No, this is crazy. Alan Iverson serves as the vice president of basketball at Reebok, working alongside his former NBA rival Shaquille O'Neal to rebuild the brand's basketball presence. Beyond corporate leadership, he remains active in business ventures and released a personal memoir, Misunderstood.
00:34:46
Speaker
Okay. All right. Okay, fair enough. Allen Iverson is doing just fine. Shout out to Allen Iverson. Sorry we thought you were no longer doing anything. Big big big shout out. Big props to you, Allen. The original AI.
00:35:02
Speaker
The original ai not artificial intelligence. MoDog, have a great night. Appreciate you popping in and saying hello. Good seeing you. Thanks. but i mean like Are you big into sports?
00:35:15
Speaker
I am. im mean I'm a huge sports fan. night I just... watched a heartbreaking Eastern conference finals with my Cleveland Cavaliers getting absolutely embarrassed and destroyed by the New York Knicks. But I will say this. ah Hey, San Antonio and Oklahoma. Yeah. You just got put on notice that the championship runs through New York this year. Yeah. Because that's a scary damn team.
00:35:43
Speaker
They are scary. I mean, like the the last I heard the Knicks were a terrible team, but like, They have been for years, but they are mean they they beat the by points last last night or the night before.
00:35:58
Speaker
You know what, got to give it tonis to Knicks basketball fans. they're just They're just raw and uncut. like I like watching the videos of all of them, you know? just All of them just talking shit about the other team. It's it's amazing. like I can't think of better fans, you know, other than Raider Nation. like Those guys are- Yeah, shout out to- how much I mean, I'm a col Cleveland Browns fan. I've been a Cleveland Browns fan my entire life. Dude, you are the most loyal, committed,
00:36:26
Speaker
group of people I have ever met in my life. ah Yes. And we still hate you, John Elway. Fuck you. Fuck you, John Elway.
00:36:39
Speaker
They're tearing down Elway's down here. like his His restaurant's being torn down. like It's no longer Elway's anymore. but They're tearing it down to bring you more infrastructure.
00:36:50
Speaker
It's going to happen to a better person. I'm sure John Elway's a great guy. I don't know. i just hate him because of the 84 NFC championship game. So John Elway, you go there.
00:37:03
Speaker
No, I just like Colorado, Colorado sports is suffering a huge losses. Like, What is it? Bo Nix ankle. He broke it. So that made it like the Broncos got kicked out of the playoffs.
00:37:15
Speaker
Essentially, they had a chance. The Broncos had a chance. Nuggets had a chance, but they were going up against the Timberwolves. It's not like they lost laying down. and then but But the Avalanche is facing. i feel like Avalanche is facing the hardest one because like I was great team.
00:37:34
Speaker
Vegas was better. Like, well, That's the crazy thing about NHL. You know, they get an expansion team and they're allowed to take whatever players, you know, NHL teams, when an expansion team comes in, they're like,
00:37:49
Speaker
I think they can take three players on their roster and say they're off limits. But outside of that, these expansion teams can pick and choose from every every team's roster. or how So you get some of the best players right off the rip as a brand new team. That's why Vegas has already won a Stanley Cup.
00:38:06
Speaker
They're in the state the playoffs every year, and they potentially potentially could win another Stanley Cup this year. now i know they're still dealing with the Avalanche, and on top of that, There's buzzsaw in South Carolina. We're about to see crazy matchup between the Canadians and the Hurricanes that coming up. Because that that damn South Carolina team ain't no joke. And the Canadians come out of nowhere this season.
00:38:37
Speaker
Yeah, who is it? I do know. Exactly.
00:38:42
Speaker
Oh, that's Zach Mc... He does bar cast comedy over here in Colorado. He's a funny guy. He has a lot of good jokes with his dog, and he did a really good set about the 90s.
00:38:57
Speaker
yeah He was really supportive when I was doing my show. i Shout out to Bar Cast Comedy in Colorado. Check it out. Shout out to all the comedians out in Colorado. If you guys are watching, I sure the fuck hope so.
00:39:09
Speaker
um Oh, God. ah Hold on. What do you think? Far-kast comedy. I'm old. I'm writing my notes here, I'm going to check you out, Zach.
00:39:23
Speaker
Yep.
00:39:26
Speaker
but Don't you dogs you ever talk talk to John Elway like that. I do. I do. I get one of Diehard Marple fans. They love the Broncos.
00:39:44
Speaker
You know, i outside of John Elway, man, ah I like Bo Nix a lot. yeah I like him a lot. And, man, that kid came in there and talking about reviving and rejuvenating and and just turning that team completely around. Shout out to the Denver Broncos.
00:40:03
Speaker
So, see, I'm one of those people that, like – Found myself more and more. Mm-hmm.
00:40:10
Speaker
Bo Nix is one of the real ones, dude. Hopefully he comes back healthy this year. Yeah, that's that he just needs to drink his milk and his vitamin D pills and rest.
00:40:22
Speaker
Oh, God, no. um um I'm starting to become a ah fan again with basketball and all that because, honestly, like I actually work close with them. I help feed them and set up the rooms and stuff at the hotel I work at. And that's about all I can say. I want to keep my job.
00:40:43
Speaker
ah But, you know, like, but just I'm one of those people that's affected by these sports teams because I really need the abs to win or like not get swept so I can have hours next week. Yeah. yeah you're you're You're unfortunately in the area and in the in the in that in the service industry. So you you need the people to keep coming. You need the teams to be alive. I kind of wish I was in Las Vegas, but like Las Vegas, there's always something happening in Las Vegas. like, holy shit.
00:41:14
Speaker
v Vegas winning every sport's out there. They got basketball, hockey, football. they I think the A's moved out there now, the Oakland A's for baseball. Yeah.
00:41:26
Speaker
Do they have what? Do they have lacrosse? I don't know. No one fucking cares about lacrosse. No.
00:41:37
Speaker
Like, lacrosse is the whitest sport ever, but it was stolen from the Native Americans. Like, I don't... Just, like, ah like the whitest whitest rich kids can only afford lacrosse, but it was stolen. That's what we do. we we we took We took hockey from the Canadians, too.
00:41:57
Speaker
Did you? Yeah. That's an American sport now. Yes, it is. Shit. like Like... trying to think of crazy sports that out there like professional tag.
00:42:10
Speaker
Zach said I'm a lacrosse goalie. I just insulted you. Dude, you're white as hell. You just proved it.
00:42:22
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. Be sure to like, share, subscribe guys. Definitely appreciate it. Oh God. What is it? So
00:42:30
Speaker
so My question for you is what was the worst job you ever had?
00:42:38
Speaker
Worst job I've ever had? Worst job.
00:42:45
Speaker
I mean, all my jobs are shitty because I have to get up every morning and go to work. Yeah, but I'm like, it's just a job where you're like, I fucking hate that job. I'm trying to think, I mean...
00:43:03
Speaker
Learning that I haven't had a ah whole, I mean. Because from my understanding, you worked in construction. so Yeah, I worked in construction and building maintenance. I mean, ah
00:43:17
Speaker
i mean I've walked off. I've walked away from companies just because I wasn't going to put my name on the product they were putting out just because they were charging for high end and they were putting in the lowest grade quality shit that that you could.
00:43:29
Speaker
Like, was this for like a school or something? No, this is building houses. But no, I would probably say the worst job I ever had was I worked for Aaron's. don't know if you guys have Aaron's out there. It's like the rent-to-own store.
00:43:41
Speaker
Yeah. And i I started out there as what they call a manager in training, which is basically accounts. And I'm the last guy that you want dealing with accounts because... automatically this guy shows up and you haven't paid your bill for six months automatically go on the defensive and i'm like i'm the happiest guy that you'll ever come across i don't care if you keep your shit i just have to say that i was here because it's my job i don't care if you ever pay us again so i wasn't very good at that then they moved me to the truck where i was just moving furniture all day and and i was like yeah this isn't bad but so like front of house like speaking to people all that stuff
00:44:20
Speaker
i don't i don't i don't like public I don't like public speaking. Yeah, that's... i mean has I have a real fear, which is weird because I do this, but I have a real fear of public speaking.
00:44:31
Speaker
I feel like doing this is different because you know that you're in the safety of your own area. Yeah. it's like you know and And this is like an A1, like an A-B conversation right here, and people can watch if they want to.
00:44:45
Speaker
Yeah.
00:44:48
Speaker
Yeah, that's the thing. like I'm in my bedroom. I'm literally in my bedroom. It looks like I'm in a studio, but it's just a corner of my bedroom. Yeah. It's kind of like our audience is like a bunch of cucks.
00:45:01
Speaker
I've never thought of it that way, but now I'm going to change it. My pants are on.
00:45:09
Speaker
I'm going to change name. With a chatterbox to the customer. You know what? um I don't know. like I'm a big fan of of tech and AI because it's it's starting to affect society. like For instance, did you know that there's what is it that they that there's legalized sex doll brothels?
00:45:31
Speaker
Oh, yeah. They got them in Amsterdam. Like crazy. yeah They actually have one in California. Do they really? wait Yeah. Legalized sex doll brothels.
00:45:44
Speaker
Yeah, that's my thought too. my god what Yeah, no, like, like, I would expect it overseas in Europe because they're like, progressive. But like, I did some research on like something I was writing and there is one in California.
00:45:58
Speaker
Lo and behold, my curious ass goes to the website, you know, click, click, click, click. And then like, There's reservations. And I go in to get a reservation. I can't afford this. It's like $200 an hour, $300 an hour.
00:46:11
Speaker
for And you get to pick your doll. And they're really so and they're synthetic. Are they just the regular dolls? Are these the like the AI animatronic ones? like It's just a regular rubber doll. No, it's um they're robotic because they they vibrate.
00:46:28
Speaker
yeah they're like, they get heated, you know, like, I'm pretty sure they're working on all of that. I haven't thought that. They have that already over in Amsterdam. They actually have the dolls where if you, they, you can interact with them through AI, but also they have sensors put in them certain areas of the body. They'll get more excited. Yeah.
00:46:51
Speaker
Whatever. Yeah, it's it's just the sex doll. The sex doll game has come a long way. And why do you all know? Well, I know this because I used to host a show on this network called What the Fuck News. And we spent an hour and a half talking about the sex doll industry in Amsterdam, putting the actual real women in Amsterdam out of business.
00:47:14
Speaker
Also, side note, you talk about shitty jobs. Could you imagine being the guy who has to clean those? No. OK, so I read an article on that. They have 10 minutes to flip it. Like the woman has 10 minutes to clean it inside and out, make sure it's sterilized and dressed in what the customer asked for.
00:47:34
Speaker
you cannot stay You cannot properly sterilize a sex doll for me to go bang that God knows how many guys have banged and and in 10 minutes.
00:47:49
Speaker
Well, neither do we, Trees. Welcome to the club. this is This is no pants required. Here. No, it's its just it's it's just it's just so interesting that, like, this is what I mean. Look at where the money is going to. The money is going to sex brothels. Money is going to, like, just entertain the people.
00:48:08
Speaker
Like, let's not give them what they want and need. It's like, let's, you know, like, bigger roller coasters, you know, but like like, better TV. TV is amazing right now. You know what I'm watching? The Boys. Have you seen The Boys?
00:48:23
Speaker
The boys, oh yeah, i need I need to get back on that because I watched the first the first season all the way through and part of the second season and I really need to get back into that. I can't say anything. What's up Johnny Monks?
00:48:35
Speaker
Going on. Welcome. of Dude, like it's that show is so fucked up, but it's written so well. I can't knock it. It's insular it's ah it's a wild show, but You being a comedian, you got to love that that all this, you know, they're putting all this money into the weird shit and the crazy shit. It gives you something to talk about.
00:48:57
Speaker
It does give me something to talk about. I mean, it's just like, dude, it it just brings up the basic concept that heroes with emotions are flawed human beings, nonetheless.
00:49:12
Speaker
Also, I think it think in the real world, if people were given superheroes like that, I think for the most part, a large majority of them would just be shitbags.
00:49:24
Speaker
Yeah.
00:49:28
Speaker
and i If I had superpowers, like I said, 99% of the time, I'm a nice guy. I'm a great I want to do everything to help people. But that 1% of the time, I want to be a complete shitbag.
00:49:40
Speaker
And I've got superpowers, and I can do whatever I want. I can do whatever I want. No. What would be your superpower? I like real women. Crazy.
00:49:53
Speaker
yeah Yeah, again, I used to host a show on this network where we spent a lot of time talking about it one night. I like real women too. I'm just married.
00:50:04
Speaker
I can't look at them. They're like sandwiches at the deli. I can't touch them. I can only have what my wife gives me, you know? You've got the same sandwich for the rest of your life, but it's your favorite sandwich. I'm going to eat that shit upside down on its back.
00:50:26
Speaker
No. You had to really like that sandwich. to I really like this sandwich. And now your wife's going like, oh, I'm just a fucking sandwich to you? okay Baby, you're the sandwich.
00:50:41
Speaker
You're a Dagwood. You calling me big? No. Just only something, huh? but How long have you been married? I love my girlfriend. She's great. And she just, she's like, yeah, this is this is my Sasquatch. This is the world that, she's the one going over there going, yep, this i this I chose him. I picked him. That's mine. Isn't that great when you look at a woman and you're like, you? thought I was a good idea. yeah Right?
00:51:17
Speaker
but You're fucking drunk entering the house, just puke all over the toilet and you just smell like something new, you know? And she's just looking at you like, I thought you were a good idea. You're like, I'm asleep.
00:51:33
Speaker
and you know you he sleep the note in My pocket is like the cops are coming. I only i only drink on Saturday nights. And and and and that's like my my biggest fear on Sunday morning when I get up is like, oh God, how pissed is she going to be this today? She never is.
00:51:55
Speaker
She's a little and annoyed sometimes, most of the time probably, but she's never pissed at me. She's great. She just lets Glick be Glick. Because that's the point of like, and might like It took me a while to learn that because I didn't know what a healthy relationship was. I really didn't. It took me, again, fucking up to find what a good relationship is. You know what I mean? and finding someone that allows Abrian to do Abrian things is important. Glick wants to do Glick things.
00:52:32
Speaker
yeah no it's It's nice when you can... I've just been myself since day one since we met like this is me this is what I'm sorry i was sorry you know and she's like cool i dig it i gig gli i likelick dawnslick things and I'm a big fan of like I was reading over relationships because i thought that's what helped me repair the relationships with my family no it's how we educate myself ah uh it just helped me educate myself on how to have better relationships and how to uh continue having better relationships and the one thing that is uh important is being able to fart in front of each other because yeah you're never more vulnerable than when you're letting out like a tight fart um and then all of a sudden it's just like it's it's just so important to just be comfortable with the uncomfortable things yep and it's nice that i don't get questioned
00:53:32
Speaker
I'm in the middle of a fart and I just jump up and run down the hallway because I, again, I'm getting up there and read this reaching a certain point of age where and you can't trust farts like we used to be able to. and that's right Dude, that's a gamble. but is where instead of Instead of what the fuck is your problem is, are you okay when I come back out?
00:53:56
Speaker
You sounded interesting. Are are you going to be all right? Yeah. Yeah. No, it took it took me, unfortunately, a lot of bad relationships that played out on this lovely network right here on the nonsensical network oh for me to finally find a happy, healthy relationship. And and and and not only that, but also you know realize that it's it's all right for me to set boundaries and for me to be like, this is what this this is what I'm going to do and this is what I am. i mean, I can't change. I'm tired of being pretending to be something I'm not. so Yeah.
00:54:31
Speaker
it's like putting on a mask with one person just to put on a mask with another. And then it's, it's, it's, it's so exhausting. And it's like, yeah I have a friend, he, um, he told me it's kind of like having like gold coins. And then whenever you talk to someone socially, it's like, you give them a gold coin.
00:54:48
Speaker
And it's like, theoretically, depending on how you are, like, maybe you only have four for the day. And it's like, it's like, you're all cashed out. You know, I don't know if I can keep going, yeah but, but having a supportive partner,
00:54:59
Speaker
like makes you feel like I have more to give. Because then you also realize what's important. It just takes a lot of time, a lot of patience. And oh my God, just i'm very grateful for her.
00:55:13
Speaker
Her name's Keisha. She's very native. We have a 10 year old son together. um And she's really down to earth, like um like kind of Icarus. And what is it? That story of like Icarus like with the sun? Yeah.
00:55:32
Speaker
She's the person that keeps me from melting in the sun. like Because I want to go to the fucking moon. All right? where She's like, hey, get no. No. and No. Don't do that.
00:55:44
Speaker
And like she calls me her dodo. ah Thanks. You're a dodo and and I'm a Squatch. I don't like that I'm a dodo, but I'm a dodo.
00:55:56
Speaker
I fucking wander off. I'm about to fall off a cliff. She's like, don't do that.
00:56:02
Speaker
it's i just He's free to wander through the forest. He'll be back. You know, it's ah it's it's real good. she's been ah She's been real good to me. She's a real good mom.
00:56:17
Speaker
um Being Native, her being Native has been interesting because it's, like, introduced me to, like, a way of life that's – because she's – how do I put this? um She's aggressive.
00:56:30
Speaker
ah you like Like, her love language is beating me up. That's what's called domestic violence. yeah You don't have to live like that. Yeah. like like I don't know. Like seriously today, like like the past four days, i I have had nothing to do.
00:56:48
Speaker
Fucking shit, nothing to do. I'm like, i have to I have to be ready by 530. All of a sudden, I have all the chores. all of a sudden like we have like All of a sudden, like there's things that I've missed. ah But, you know.
00:57:03

I just appreciate the relationship I'm in because I don't like, I feel comfortable being crazy. Cause I like, if that makes sense, you know, I don't know.
Relationships and Personal Growth
00:57:13
Speaker
Oh no, 100%.
00:57:14
Speaker
like Like I said, I ADHD, I'm not professionally diagnosed with it, but I know I have it. And I get these crazy ideas and use my sounding board.
00:57:26
Speaker
And instead instead of going, you know, you should probably think this through. She's like, go ahead and do it. like No fair. She didn't let you run? yeah Try it. I'm like, okay, let's go. likeage i invite Did you think this through? I'm like, go back. She's she's learned she's learned that you know yeah initially I'm like super gung-ho.
00:57:54
Speaker
yeah but After that initial process, then i said we you know like this this show was one of those ADHD fueled dreams. I was like, I'm going to start a new show. I'm going to interview comedians.
00:58:06
Speaker
So I had a logo and I had an intro and then like, that was all I had. And then I put a post up on social media and you guys flooded my inbox. And I'm like, but I really have to do this show.
00:58:17
Speaker
Now I have to sit down and think about it. I mean, how has it been for you? It's been a positive experience for you, right? Oh dude, it's been great. I love this show. This has become, this has become, ah one of my favorite shows to do. it was one of, like, I look forward to, yeah i do music on Tuesdays, comedy on on Wednesdays, and then Saturday night we have our train wreck of a show. a lot And my son and I do a wrestling show together when he's here.
00:58:46
Speaker
And then her and I do a show together. And it's like, dude, this is like, have I have five of my, most favorite shows that I do. And, and it's like, they all came from my son's wrestling show was, was kind of his idea, kind of his idea, kind of my idea, but that stemmed from former people that we used to associate who promised a, a 10 year old little boy, something, and then went back on their word because they're idiots and kind of, you know, little kids, you know how they are. You got, you got a son, you know, they they think get excited for the little things and then they're let down and their little hearts broken. I'm like, dude,
00:59:22
Speaker
got a network of shows. Do you just want to do a wrestling show? Fuck these guys. We'll show them. you know And he's like, him and have been doing his wrestling show now. And it's like it's really cool to get to do the show with him because Seems like next generation coming up. And we're both big wrestling fans. So why not like hang out and do it? ah you ah Do you follow ah Raw or do you follow the AEW?
00:59:47
Speaker
We watch WWE mainly, but where he's he's starting to get into AEW. I was in it for a while. Then I kind of faded out and I'm slowly dabbling back into it But we're mainly WWE.
01:00:01
Speaker
so like So what's the storyline going on right there? What's but here you can't do what's that? Because w WWE e is pretty much, you know, like, because there is a storyline, right?
01:00:13
Speaker
There is like, you know. Oh, there's all kinds kinds of storylines. There's multiple storylines. I mean, that's kind of what it is. Yeah, because I was really big into wrestling when there was Stone Cold Steve Austin, you know, like that entire suit, like DX. Like, I was really big into that.
01:00:30
Speaker
Well, those are your shows, Wally. I don't do those shows. You do your own shows. What about me, asshole? I'm talking about the shows I do. I know, I know, I know, I know. I'm just saying that, like. Pierce in the chat, he's on the network, too. And he's one of my best friends. We've been friends since seventh grade. So we've damn near known him. That's a long time. Yeah. Yeah.
01:00:52
Speaker
yeah So he does he does motorsports here on the network. Motorsports. I like motorsports. Yeah, he does. He does it all, man. Rough trucks, um racing.
01:01:03
Speaker
um If it's got wheels in an engine, this this guy's talking about it. and He has some really great guests that come up. and Yeah, I'm like, I'm a big fan of things that go fast and things that go mountains.
01:01:17
Speaker
Things go up mountains fast. he's needs a He covers all that stuff, man. And he has guys that are drivers that come on. It's ah it's a really cool show. I mean, I'm i'm i'm like ah the casual fan where I like to watch the things do the things that they do. But I don't know how they do the things that they do.
01:01:37
Speaker
And he does. Yeah. but So they they get into it with the drivers and stuff. like It's kind of like me and music and and comedy and all. i like I may not necessarily do those things. I am not a comedian by no means, but I'm a fan. And I've watched and i've i've watched it but ah pretty much my whole life. I've watched stand-up comedy.
01:01:57
Speaker
and So I know enough about it to where I can talk about it and I can engage with people who do do it. and I mean, who is your favorite comic? Yeah. I mean, right now i love Burt Kreischer, Joe Floyd, Gabriel Iglesias. Love Fluffy.
01:02:14
Speaker
Yeah. ah wish I wish I'd have known better. I just realized that big guys in Hawaiian shirts, actually awesome. Yeah. No, like he he's definitely following him from the beginning to like where he is now. It's definitely like heartwarming. Like he's definitely a great comedian. Yeah.
01:02:35
Speaker
I haven't been keeping up with modern comics because like, I want to be original and I'm worried that I'm going to watch something and I don't want to steal jokes, you know? Yeah.
01:02:46
Speaker
Yeah. But it's, it's a really competitive market, uh, even out here in, um, in Colorado, like there's a lot of talented comics and it's just like, it's difficult going out to do an open mic or, uh, well for me, cause I want to take care of my family.
01:03:01
Speaker
and And that's hard. But like, again, having someone in your life that's supportive of your dreams, it's definitely helpful. And um and it's it's a good market because the people like there's just so many open mics. There's one every day of the week.
01:03:18
Speaker
You know, you go to one all the time. Are there open mics over in Ohio?
Aubrey's Cultural Experiences and Beliefs
01:03:23
Speaker
That I don't know. There are. There are. Where they are, I i don't know. I don't get out and see stand-up as much as i would as as much as I would like. We do have a Funny Bone not too far from me, and I know they do stuff on, like, Sundays and I think Wednesdays or something like that. If they don't have a featured act or, you know, whatever coming through town.
01:03:43
Speaker
Okay. Oh, shit. I've just been... And I know there's a couple small bar like bars in the area. Like, in the wintertime, they do, like, comedy on Sundays and stuff like that in the winter time just to kind of bring business in because in the summertime they're doing music and shit like that and they can't really do that outdoors so they I always find it interesting whenever he goes an open mic and there's no chairs yeah we just go there to like stand just to do stand up don't know just silly little things yeah I i like I like the open mics I think it's cool um
01:04:20
Speaker
I went down when I went down to Tampa's becoming a huge market for comedy. I mean, it's it's it's insane down there. I went down a few years ago and we hit up three or four open mics in a weekend just to go watch. Yes, it's down there that are in the comedy scene in the comedy world. And it was really cool because for me, I get it for most comedians, why the open mics are great, because it allows you to work on new material.
01:04:45
Speaker
or if you're new into the into the world and you're just getting your feet wet, it's like, all right, do I really want to do this? Do I really want to pursue it? It gives you that opportunity to kind of to dance with that. But, um yeah, I mean, ultimately, you want to get paid, man. and Yeah. Yeah.
01:05:00
Speaker
mics Yeah, it's a slow ah it's a slow climb to the top if you want to rock and roll. like that like that kind of like That statement is so true. like like Just trying to get up there, the incline is real.
01:05:13
Speaker
Just being positive and moving forward is one of the most important things. And it's like, again, accepting the failures as ah as a win because you've experienced what you needed to experience.
01:05:24
Speaker
um Which, what is it? All right. So which brings me to the story. I'm to tell you story. You want hear story? I love stories. Okay. All right. So um I ended up stranded on the reservation for three months, which ultimately taught me how ah good I had it.
01:05:48
Speaker
being um This is how I met my wife, Keisha. Keisha's from the reservation, Wombly, South Dakota. A population, 1,000 people, and they all know each other. They're all cousins. They all know each other. I'm 25, okay?
01:06:04
Speaker
I just found out that my woman is pregnant, Keisha, and I need to make money. So my dumb ass is like, I'm going to go sell weed.
01:06:15
Speaker
So I go cross... I go across state lines and there was some, like, I got pulled over three times. I got pulled over three times by three different cops along, like, heading to Nebraska. And that should have been a telltale sign. Don't do this.
01:06:31
Speaker
You're not a very good dealer. The object is to not get pulled over. Yeah, but I got pulled over, but I didn't get caught. I had it on me, but they didn't know.
01:06:43
Speaker
And it's just like, in and i and I went there. and When I went there, i eventually made it to Wombly, South Dakota, but I didn't know Wombly, South Dakota was literally like the sticks. There was no roads. There was potholes the size of like so like sewer lids.
01:07:00
Speaker
I was... I was hitting every pothole, and my dumb ass is like, this car can take it. And then the next thing I know, my CVX, like my car is trying to move, but I'm not moving.
01:07:11
Speaker
e And I'm trying to head back to Wombly, and Wombly is an hour away from anywhere. And we end up in Pine Ridge. Pine Ridge is one of these...
01:07:23
Speaker
It's ah definitely a unique place because, like, Natives everywhere, and it's like there's one Pizza Hut. It's ruled, but it's city at the same time. yeah and um And we're there, and it's the first time I look like a homeless guy.
01:07:40
Speaker
Like, I'm trying to ask people for help. I'm trying to ask people for money. I'm trying to get home. My car is stuck on the side of the road. But I guess about three miles ahead –
01:07:50
Speaker
is a mechanic shop, but I'm like, no, i want it I can get it done cheaper by some relative that Keisha has. Yeah. So I make a phone call. And and then as I make the phone call, you know they're like, yeah, they could be here in the morning. So we have to chill there on the side of the road by ourselves until they pick us up.
01:08:09
Speaker
And just to get into Pine Ridge. I've never seen this star so beautiful. like this was this you know I look up. It was just gorgeous seeing the stars like this. But that that was the last nice feeling I felt in a while.
01:08:21
Speaker
I end up taking my car over to one of Keisha's relatives, and they stripped my car. They fucking stripped my car. Battery, lights, anything within a reason. i think they were working on getting rid of it completely.
01:08:36
Speaker
um I should have just went to the mechanic shop up the road and dealt with the bill. No, but my cheap ass is like, no, that's let's save some money because realistically, I didn't have a lot. Yeah.
01:08:47
Speaker
ah So I get back down there. The next thing I know, I'm just, I realized I'm stranded. I'm stuck. Like I have no phone or cell service. I'm just there. So I meet the family because she's pregnant and she's like, look, she's pregnant. So that gives me a little leverage. was like, where I'm going to go in life. um We ended up going over to her grandma's house and her grandma was like, go pick out a mattress. I'm like thinking in the room.
01:09:13
Speaker
She's like, no, it was in the backyard. I went to the backyard and she's like, make sure there's no ticks, just clean it off. And then you could take it with you over to the mom's house. You could sleep on it. I'm like, you fucking serious. have This was the first time I realized how spoiled fucking Brad I am being from that city. Like I've never, dude, this was the first time I had to wake up and wash my clothes.
01:09:41
Speaker
Have them hung before 7 a.m. so they'll be dry by noon. And that was the first time I washed my clothes without fabric softener. didn't know towels could be that stiff, you know? Like, I became a back scratcher instead of a towel. It was... a damn like and like i was there for two months do you see this hair you see this beard it looked like a fucking rat's nest like it was a big old circle i just i i looked like a homeless amish man it was it was no good
01:10:18
Speaker
No bueno. No. See, for a little bit there, I had about an ounce of weed left on me, and I learned that I can trade weed for food, and I could trade weed for things that I needed. But I was running low on weed. And then I eventually had to dive into my money, like my profits. And then, like, that's what I learned. This land is not going to let me take its money from its people.
01:10:39
Speaker
It was kind of creepy and eerie. It's like no one believes me, but ghosts exist. The things I've heard and the things that I didn't want to see, like, it's scary. Shadow people, they're real.
01:10:51
Speaker
All right. Yeah, no. I'm all about the the paranormal, supernatural, all that stuff. I'm umm all in. Actually, my girlfriend and I.
01:11:02
Speaker
doing a show together on on on here that revolves around that stuff. Okay. all right. Hear me out. So on this, so when I eventually ended up at the gas station at Pine Ridge to try to make a phone call to to get like one of our family members come get us, nobody picked up because no one really has a car. If you have a car, you need gas and no one really got money like that.
01:11:21
Speaker
So I went up and i so and and I spoke to one of the officers. And it was something Red Elk, we'll say Charlie Red Elk, just for the sake of the story.
01:11:32
Speaker
And I'm like, we need a ride to Wombly because that's where we are. It's like, my woman's pregnant. We just need a ride there. That's all we need. It's just like, I'm not even from here. i'm from Colorado. I came here and my car broke down and my car is pretty much being stripped. Like he heard me, he fell.
01:11:48
Speaker
and he And he's decided to take us home. And it's, like I said, it's an hour from here to there. So I decided to go, hey, you guys got any good stories? And he's like, stories? He's like, yeah, like, any and anything interesting to happen on the job?
01:12:03
Speaker
And he sits there and he thinks. he's like, I got one. He's like, one day i was driving by and i saw um I saw Daniel over here on the side and I picked him up and I put in the back seat.
01:12:18
Speaker
he's like, like Daniel Sitting Bull, all right? And he's like, okay. And then they they start driving, he starts driving him to the drunk tank because he was drunk. yeah And then the next thing you know, he said that on on the radio, it said that Daniel was hit by a semi truck and he's dead on the scene.
01:12:39
Speaker
And he picks up the thing and he's like, but Daniel's in my back seat. And he looks back and Daniel disappears. Yeah, that's crazy. I'm like, bullshit. He's like, no, it's true.
01:12:52
Speaker
He's like, there was another time that I got a report of screaming in a basement. I'm like, really? He's like, yeah, screaming in a basement. And it was on the same day that that the resident of this house shot himself.
01:13:05
Speaker
I'm like, what? He was like, yeah. So all I did, I walked in. I said, hey, cut it out. People are trying to sleep. And then it stopped, I guess. I'm just like... but it shit ah Dude, apparently they deal with ghosts so much. It's like...
01:13:24
Speaker
yeah It's like dealing with the people. Apparently, all you have to do is cut that shit out. Stop it. um I'm like, really? He's like, yeah. cause i apparently know like They can interact, but i don't know if they can like talk to you. I don't know everything about it, but these stories are crazy, man.
01:13:41
Speaker
Yeah, that's kind of wild. I know like you know the the indigenous people or natives or however you want to whatever the proper name is.
01:13:52
Speaker
yeah they're super spiritual. They're into the afterlife and and spirits and shadow people and you know all that all all that stuff. So I mean, like there are stories about what is it Giant snakes and spiders in the Black Hills.
01:14:08
Speaker
like Like the lore back there about the Black Hills is crazy. Like it's it's fun. um But like they're about it because they feel it's real. Like my woman was telling me that ah that the Lakota have been was close to the star people and they're aliens. And apparently, and apparently,
01:14:28
Speaker
they're upset because they're not the same people that there were like there's less of them and they're not as kind and they're different like apparently like i so it's allegedly yeah legendly no but it's it's it's just crazy to think that like made that because natives have been around like before all of this 1600 years natives were around 1600 years they had a thriving nation And it's like they didn't need, you know, they they didn't need anyone to butt in. They were literally trying to help them out. But it's like, there but that but that theory that, what is it, that natives were the people that were enslaved and they never came from Africa. Have you heard about that theory?
01:15:15
Speaker
yeah think I've heard a little bit about it. Not a hole and not a whole lot. So like essentially, um they made it sound like a lot of the Afro-Americans or African-Americans that are here that were enslaved were not from Africa. They only said that to make it make sense. But how do you make like millions of people show up on boats like that that short amount of time? So like just that theory that Afro-Americans, African-Americans were actually here the entire time,
01:15:45
Speaker
like That's a weird story. That's crazy. I mean, it's up there. Huh? It's up there with like how I think that there's sky, uh, sky cities because there has been scientists that have been arrested and or killed because they've had zero point energy. They've found ways to use water, like hydrogen powered like machines and all that. Like I, I am this weird guy that believes that there's all these extra clouds because that's a sky city.
01:16:15
Speaker
this is Are you fucking kidding me? If I was a billionaire, you think I want to be down here? Well, I mean, ah Bezos and Elon Musk are trying to put people on Mars. So, I mean, I mean, like maybe the in-between is like the Jetsons, you know, and then we're the Flintstones. Maybe that's why that's the way that is. they Very well could be. Very well could be. I mean, I've said it a million times, but the,
01:16:43
Speaker
Whether you believe in in in aliens or extraterrestrials or whatever the case may be, you'd be a fool not to think that in this vast universe, galaxy, whatever, that there's not, we're the only living beings in the universe.
01:17:00
Speaker
I feel that would be a very selfish thought just to think that we are the only ones around. I want to meet the people. I want to meet the person who made us. Because right now the people are trying to remake us. Like we are bioengineered robots.
01:17:17
Speaker
Like, I think the end result is to make a human being because of the fact that that we do regenerate. If you took care of ourselves properly and appropriately, we pretty much run ourselves, which versus like robots, they need maintenance. They need to be like, you know, like we need rest too, but I feel like in a weird way, like there's somebody just trying to recreate us.
01:17:43
Speaker
Very well could be. We may never know. yeah I think that's half the fun. Because at this point, it's like I'm just waiting. Just waiting for something more interesting. Because I just think it's interesting how they're like flooded everything and more aliens, time travel. It's like, are they desensitizing us? Yeah. they yeah are they Are they preparing us? Are we now almost to the point where we can... I'm down for time travel. Give me some time travel.
01:18:11
Speaker
Yeah. I'm cool with aliens, too. I mean, as long as they're cool, I mean, I got no problem hanging out with one on my patio and having a couple brewskis or whatever. Where would you go?
01:18:23
Speaker
and in time? Yes. I would go back to the Wild West. Yeah? Oh, yeah, absolutely. 100%, mainly because, I don't know, part of me wants to be a well part of me wants to be an out an outlaw, and the other part of me wants to be ah like a law dog. I just want to be a gunslinger.
01:18:38
Speaker
Yeah. i would i would um I would want to invent some sort of body armor so I can keep gunslinging. If I go back in time, I'm taking my guns that I have now. my prior Sorry, YouTube, my pew-pews. I'm taking my pew-pews that I have now to i like You call that? like you seem like you go Also, there's that greedy side of me that's like, I want to go back in time, kind of like Biff and Back to the Future with the Sports Almanac. Yeah. and at bet on all and and And then come back to my present time and be a bazillionaire or, you know, like, buy you know,
01:19:18
Speaker
place a couple of ridiculous bets on some sporting events and then buy stocks into like Microsoft, Pepsi, Nike. You know what I mean? and then I come home and I'm got more money than, than God himself. oh the god what did What is it? Another, or was it that movie? Hot tub time machine.
01:19:35
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much like that too. Right. Yeah. Oh shit.
01:19:41
Speaker
there's a greedy side of me but then there's that side of me that's kind of wants to my nerd side where it's like yeah i want to go back and i want to see this and i want to see that think it'd be really cool to go back in the wild west because i that's that time frame in american history i really like but just to see some of the people that like wyatt earp and wild bill or billy the kid jesse james you know just just to see these guys and see if they're really real men and see if the stories that they tell are you know like I want to see Wyatt pistol whipping people. It shoots you, but it's a lot more fun. i want like I want to see a robbery. I want to stick them up. like Oh, look, that's him. because That was definitely entertainment back in the day. The newspapers, hope they were struck again. and
01:20:26
Speaker
Yeah. think I think that would be really cool. I'm down for the time time time travel. you know's i'd also I'd also like to go back and talk to my younger self and have a real serious conversation and punch myself in the dick. I feel like we all should. Don't talk to that one, but do this. it's like Make sure you do that and you avoid this. You make it right there. okay man. Zig instead of zag.
01:20:56
Speaker
Zig instead of zag. Hold on. ah So as far as like that your comedy goes, what what's your what's your what's your kind of your your thing? Are you a storyteller or like a jokey guy? ah You said you did the roast battle, which those are kind of cool. I've seen some of those on on on the like YouTube and stuff.
01:21:19
Speaker
And those roast battles are are pretty funny when people just go up there and you guys just rag on each other back and forth. it um What's your style?
Storytelling and Free Speech in Comedy
01:21:28
Speaker
um I'm more of a storyteller. um That's what I've learned. As much as I want to tell jokes, um I'm doing my best to like share cautionary tales of mistakes I've made. like like don't take Don't take things in your life for granted. like There's always someone struggling more than you.
01:21:51
Speaker
Definitely, like I said, be responsible with your penis. It's just like... You know, like fucking causes babies. And, you know, if you fuck well, you're going to get her dickmatized. And if you get her dickmatized, then that's an entirely different story because that woman's like, that's my dick. That's mine only. And it's like, oh, and like you didn't get the memo that that is her dick and you're over here slanging dick to other women. Now she wants to kill you. And it's like you, it's just because I had this machismo dad.
01:22:19
Speaker
Like he, like, you know, his advice, because I For instance, when I was like 10, I'm like, dad, I like this girl. What should I do? He's like, grab her by the hand, say, bitch, I like you. You know, like like ah like, I like telling these stories that has happened to me because things are funnier when they're half true.
01:22:38
Speaker
Things are funnier when you can relate to them. yeah And it's like, and and I want to do my best because I feel like i'm wiser and I can help my son do better because I made those mistakes. Yeah.
01:22:51
Speaker
And I'm like kid, like you're gonna learn the hard way, but I'm not telling you this because you know, like i' I'm trying to put you down and tell you this because I made these mistakes. Yeah. And I don't want you to do the same thing I did. Yeah. Just like, you know, it's just like, it's really important to like be in school because Would have paid attention to school like maybe I would have had a better job if I had a better job I wouldn't be struggling as much and it's just like, you know I don't want you to be the smartest kid on earth, but I want you to know basic math, you know it is sta matter There's a long way I don't worry about the English language because I I beat that to death like a like a government mule I'd die I
01:23:34
Speaker
I destroy the English language on a daily basis. yeah oh Thank God for ChatGPT. Again, so my grammar has gotten so much better. um The robots is going to talk for me, and I'm just going to go to sleep. Yeah, the robot apparently knows how to knows me better than I do at this point. Oh, my God. no like we're reaching a point where we can have group chats where it's vanishing group chats, where it's like by midnight, they're going to disappear. It's like...
01:24:02
Speaker
You can just have the weird happen everywhere around you. Just like... Because that's why I love comedy. Comedy is just a safe place just to be weird as fuck. Just allow yourself to have the thoughts pull through.
01:24:16
Speaker
One of my favorite comics, his name is Lenny Bruce. he's like the graphon yeah He's like the grandfather of like stand-up comedy. He he pretty much died broke and um in a motel just with... What is it?
01:24:32
Speaker
thousand dollars worth of court fees because he would just speak freely. And there's a part of me that feels like there needs to be a need to keep that going because that man died for comedy. He died to make sure people can say like,
01:24:46
Speaker
you know can be vulgar on stage. And if you've ever listened to his stuff, like it was vulgar on stage. But it also called out people. um And what is it? Because back in the 1960s, it was interesting because he said they have they were building hospitals with 12,000 dope addicts, but there wasn't even 1,000 dope addicts. it's kind of like And then you see the epidemic that's happening now. It's kind of like maybe he kind of knew.
01:25:12
Speaker
Yeah. you know Comedians speak up because they see something funny. Comedy is used to present something ugly into something like more presentable. Like, yeah, I feel i feel like i feel like comedy is one of the you know, everybody wants to throw around that freedom of speech, freedom of speech. I think comedy is the truest form.
01:25:33
Speaker
of that freedom of speech. Yeah. You know, fuck, shit, cunk. You know, it's just like, they're not just words when you use them. You know, like, motherfucker. I love that. But it's just like, it's my favorite word to call my friends because half of them are dads. You know? It's just, yeah, Glick, you're a motherfucker. Yeah. I have been known. like I'm a son of a bitch, you know, but like, that's also like, you know, oh, fuck.
01:26:05
Speaker
It's just like, words are so important. And like, we don't use them as much because a lot more people are scared. a lot more people are afraid to say what they want to say. From as simple as like, you're doing a shitty job at work to like, hey, son, like you're fucking up. You need to straighten yourself out. yeah People are afraid to say something because it's not just because we don't want to hurt their feelings. It's because we don't want to lose people.
01:26:27
Speaker
It's like we don't like like we want you near us, but it's like if I told you that you're a drug addict and that you're like fucking up, and it was like that's kind of harsh. But if I said that like you're like you've been too happy and that's suspicious, you know I feel like that's a that's ah that's a better way to enter the conversation.
01:26:48
Speaker
Little, really subtle ways to get in. Yeah, to get in. Yeah. You got to go see A. Brian. Live on stage if he wants to punch lines. Oh, my God. All right. What's that guy? No, no, gets a point. We're supposed to be making him laugh, and he's just like, these dudes are just talking to each other. That's the genius thing about what I do here.
01:27:14
Speaker
We laugh, we conversate, we get to know a little bit about shit. yeah And then people go, you know what? I like that guy. I'm going to be in Colorado soon. I wonder if he's doing a show. Yeah, yeah. I really appreciate that. I've been listening to lot of Gilbert Gottfried because there's just a level of I want his jokes to stay alive.
01:27:33
Speaker
It's kind of like history. like one of them is just like One of his jokes is my favorite. is that um
01:27:40
Speaker
There's two tourists and they're in the jungle in Africa. and they get captured by a native tribe and they get taken to the hut. As they're taken to the hut, they're approached with their tribal chief. Tribal chief looks at the first guy, he goes, death or Ugu?
01:27:57
Speaker
And the guy looks at, you know, they look at each other, he goes, Ugu. And he goes, okay, all the all this All the tribesmen and all the tribe soldiers come in and they start fucking them. And they start jerking off and coming on them. And then all of a sudden, just like a second round comes through and they're fucking them and they're coming on them. And then they're and they's like they're in the ears and they soon he looks like a glazed cinnamon roll.
01:28:21
Speaker
Look at the second guy. He's like, death or Ugu? He goes, death. He's like, ah, but first Ugu. yeah ah Yeah, 100%. It's sad but true. It really is.
01:28:39
Speaker
So what I asked you, know you brought up the you know the scene itself out there where you're at. It's it's a really good scene. um How about the community in general? you know Is the community pretty supportive like other comedians and stuff like that? or do you run into the You hear all the horror stories and in music, comedy, acting, whatever. you know People will step on their own grandma just to get ahead of somebody else what's what's your guys what's your experience with the community so far my experience um there's a group of people that are supportive but you're on your own there's another group of people that'll have your back uh but i feel like that's with just anything um but colorado comedy scene
01:29:26
Speaker
good bunch of people they do their best to a support each other there's always that one bad egg in the group there's always that person like you said throwing other people under the bus so they can get more stage time is this like you try not to associate yourself with those people you do your best to listen to what other people say but at the end of it all you got to have your own judgment of yeah others um but from my experience they you know um There's a guy named Oren B. He's been in the business for 10 years. He's been doing open mics and for 10 years. And he's he's such a respected name in the community because he just provides a platform for people to grow and get better.
01:30:07
Speaker
and And that's the thing. it's They're everywhere. If you look, like they're everywhere. The downside about the Colorado ah comedy scene is there's not a lot of Latino comics. There's not a lot of, what is it, Afro-American or Black comics. And it it makes me sad because Like, again, i look white. So people just assume I'm a white comic. I'm like, no. I'm like, yo soy Latino. Yo soy Mexicano.
Latino Identity and Comedy
01:30:32
Speaker
Yo soy represent... Like, I'm representing raza and everything else in between.
01:30:38
Speaker
And it's been it's been easier for me to embrace it because, like, there is that weird mentality of, like, I'm white looking. So it's easier to embrace that. No, like, I'm Latino. i'm mexican like i'm like i grew up that way it's like i might not have the best spanish but all my values are of latino mexican descent i might have 10 jobs you know just to get by well you know come mexicano to eop but of human voice is said to la closest thing you to iset im mean familiar i need do everything
01:31:09
Speaker
that i need to do for my family so Whenever it comes down to the comedy scene, it's just like, i' I'm trying to do my best to put my best foot forward because we need more representation in the Latino and African-American community. cause there's
01:31:28
Speaker
Yes and no. that's learn That's the issue, the issue. The issue is is that, like yes, I'm Mexican, and I'm trying to embrace it more. And yes, I suck at speaking Spanish.
01:31:40
Speaker
But it's like I need it to rise up from me, and I'm just trying to be that exactly. Let your inner Mexican out. um He's in there somewhere. You might look like the average white guy, but you he's in there. I'm in there. I thought i swear i'm Mexican. i know you don't believe me you
01:32:05
Speaker
No, and then, because what is it? One of my favorite shows they have out here is The Gong Show. The Gong Show, it's it's classic. You go up there, you get seven minutes, but after two minutes, the ah the audience can just kick you off stage. They ring the gong, you're off, you're out.
01:32:22
Speaker
That was one of my favorite ones, because I do my best to get the shortest time. like I just like talking shit. I like roasting people, just like...
01:32:33
Speaker
You look like an inflated Angelica Pickles. I don't know. it just like you like that you like the crowd You like the crowd work aspect?
01:32:44
Speaker
See, that's one thing I realize I'm probably good at is crowd work because being in food industry, you just pick at people and you find something and you just run with it. Because I could pick up their food.
01:32:56
Speaker
you know It's like, oh, you're getting three cheeseburgers, eh? When are you going to get ready for your heart attack? Because I personally, that's me. I got ah three patties and fucking four pieces of bacon with 30 slices of cheese.
01:33:08
Speaker
I love that shit. you know it's it's It's difficult because I'm trying to find a good rhythm within the comedy scene. I'm trying to find my place. And this is pretty much good thing.
01:33:20
Speaker
You're still new enough. You're still young enough. And you know, you like you said, you've been doing it about a year now, you know, as a standard comedian, you're still young enough. you're still You're still learning who you are as a comedian. You're you're trying to find that niche that that fits you best.
01:33:36
Speaker
I mean, and we've talked about it on this show before, you know, crowd work, crowd work. If it's done right, it's an art. Yeah. But I think i think some But at the same time, it becomes a crutch.
01:33:48
Speaker
and there and and And I've said it a million times, and I'll continue to say it. Matt Reif, he's great with his crowd work. His actual stand-up, meh. Yeah. yeah and I mean, my opinion don't fucking matter. The kid's making millions of fucking dollars. Shout-out for an Ohio boy. you know he grew up just down the road from me. Shout-out to Matt Reif for making it big. But as a fan...
01:34:12
Speaker
yeah great crowd work. It's fucking hilarious. But his actual standup is, yeah but then you got guys like Michael Blaustein, who, in my opinion, again, in my opinion, in my opinion though he's great at both. His standup is fucking hilarious. His crowd work is, I think he's one of the best to do it right now.
01:34:32
Speaker
right and ah And that's just my opinion. I think that's a cool, if that speaks volumes for how good you are as a comedian if you can do both and you can do both really well you know because now now people expect it from comedians because you see all of it on social media they expect the crowd work but if you can get up there and entertain for a half hour you know or whatever your jokes and then spend 15 minutes crowd work and hanging out out or whatever you know that's that's awesome i mean it helps when you're attractive too
01:35:05
Speaker
There's that. And um i'm I'm watching Matt Reif and I'm slowly thinking he's starting to evolve into Eminem. Yeah. Because now he has bleach blonde hair and I'm like, this is 1998 all over. is this Slim Shady? Like, what's happened? Did you know he bought Annabelle? Like, he bought that entire museum.
01:35:26
Speaker
Yeah, he bought. Yeah, it's crazy. That is crazy. I just, I don't know if want to go to his shows. I might get possessed. Yeah. Yeah. it How do you know that my face is pubic? We had that conversation. Yeah, we did. I was just like, if I don't have this, I'm hideous.
01:35:48
Speaker
said You have a glorious beard and I have pubes on my face. have you Have you gotten a lot of opportunities to to do stuff outside of the open mics and Do you have anything coming up here soon? The only thing have coming up is just going to more open mics and practicing my bits.
01:36:10
Speaker
I'm trying to go for this. I'm trying to go for a spot on this Vatos Locos, what is it? Comedy.
01:36:21
Speaker
What is it? Comedy show. It's it's a tour. It's here in Colorado. it It's like three cities. um It's run by, what is it? Side Splitting Entertainment. but one of their um ah usual comics is uh furious jorge another one uh raymond morales how terrible i forgot his name but raymond Raymond A's comedy is is where he's at. But like they're individuals who've been supportive of me pushing forward. They're also Latino comics. And I'm trying to get on board on their roster. That's what I'm trying to do. I've been working on a routine about my father oh because like that's I owe my life to my dad.
01:37:07
Speaker
So it's just one of those things where I want to honor him by like you know saying like he was a good dad because a present father is a gift. you know present father is definitely the gift. And just you know people always see him in a bad light. And I'm doing my best to paint him in a good light, doing my best to let people know like he's just misunderstood. but you know he But he was a good dad. you know um And that's what I'm working on next.
01:37:36
Speaker
so Hopefully that goes, you know, not according to plan, but like the way it needs to. Yeah, exactly. exactly why You want to hit a home run with that. Do you do you find you find writing easy or is it is it a pain in the ass?
01:37:52
Speaker
No, eating is easy for me. If you haven't noticed. No, writing is easy for me. It's... um It's having faith in myself that I'm good enough to even do it because ah like my wife hit me other day. You're up there just playing pretend. I'm like, it's like, no, I'm not.
01:38:14
Speaker
I'm like, kinda. But again, i feel like I have a purpose whenever I do my comedy. I just want people to really understand that you you're gonna fail. You're gonna make mistakes. You gotta push through. um You just gotta to be grateful for everything around you.
01:38:33
Speaker
Like, like recently just really being a dad, I noticed how hard it was for my father just to be a father. It's not easy. And like me, my putting myself in his shoes, literally being a dad, I realized he had to make some hard choices. And, you know, I see that now, you know, like trying your best to tell, to give your son advice on how to talk to women. You know, it's really hard to do. and um mean, you yourself don't know how to do it. Like, my father only had a third grade education. he tells me this all the time. So it was really hard for me to tutor me, you know?
01:39:12
Speaker
so Yeah, yeah why that's the thing. you You take those serious things. That guy said, well, you're trying to get on Gabriel Inglaces, well, you need to be funny. Well, yeah, I mean.
01:39:22
Speaker
Yeah, I'm working on it. I mean, if I want to get on Joe Rogan level, I have to be a giant douchebag. ah I got to get one hate hate shot towards Joe Rogan. He's my arch nemesis. He doesn't know it.
01:39:36
Speaker
A little competition is good for everybody. But no, I mean, you know you take those you take those serious moments, you put the twist on them, and you and you make them funny. you You take that seriousness away from them, and yeah and yeah and you make it you make it funny.
01:39:50
Speaker
Yeah, like... I'm so stoned after. Like... Like... See... like oh like oh see What's hard for me is that that, yes, the fact that comedy comes from like a sad place, but that's where it's that's where I think it's so beautiful.
01:40:14
Speaker
I don't know, man. like I want to be funny, but it's like being put in a spot like this. It's just like, Dern's from Rainbow. It's just like I tell people on the media. Can you make a joke on Glick? You just put him right on the spot. Make a joke on Glick? Yeah.
01:40:30
Speaker
like You want me to roast him? You want ah you want to... write What is it? You look like... yeah Oh, God. Nope. I guess I can't. I like Glick. Oh, hell no. Glick looks like an extra on Breaking Bad. Glick looks like he masturbates with hairy lotion. I don't know. Glick... with Facts.
01:40:54
Speaker
Facts.
01:40:57
Speaker
Man, I don't know. I'm learning right now as we speak. This is harder than I thought because I did my best to be prepared. I did my best to... yeah you did. Perfect.
01:41:12
Speaker
Oh, God. Like, I don't know. And that's the thing. I mean, as you gain experience on the stage and you, you know, go back to what we said earlier, you know,
01:41:26
Speaker
Failing's not a bad thing. You know, as long as you, I mean, wacky, you know that. No, what is it? It's just. It took 10 years to put out an album, but i mean, we're not talking about that. here either here No, I'm. ah know No, I mean, you know, you are finding your voice. So to say you're finding your voice and in trying to take those serious situations. I mean,
01:41:55
Speaker
Fucking we we do it all the time here. and Just with with my life in general, we make so many jokes and comments and I'll make jokes. You know, self-deprecation goes a long way in the quote unquote, the comedy world. But you look at some of the biggest comedians to ever come up and and and and do the thing. um a lot of them have the quote unquote sob stories and, the you know,
01:42:21
Speaker
Robin Williams said it, you know, the funniest people are funny because they know what it's like to to be sad and hurt, and they don't ever want anybody to feel that way. Yeah. and and And I guess I don't want no one. I don't want – I'm constantly roasted. I don't know Bring it on yourself.
01:42:39
Speaker
you We just want to do our best to be seen and to be successful. you find you find which You find what you're good at. Or if you're mediocre at it and you're like, I really enjoy doing this. And then you just go from there. You you keep pushing to, you know, okay, well, I did this i did this open mic on Tuesday.
01:43:02
Speaker
it really didn't go that well. But here it is Thursday and I get another opportunity to... because cause Cause I've crushed on stage, but I realized I crushed
Modern Life and Cannabis Culture
01:43:12
Speaker
on stage. Cause like i was I was in a weird mood.
01:43:16
Speaker
I was in a really weird mood. Cause I was really, really irritated with the world because cause the truth is, is that we live in a world of convenience. Like if I wanted cocaine, I could buy, I could call somebody and I can get cocaine in 10 minutes. And within that 10 minutes, I can have a burger delivered to me.
01:43:32
Speaker
And then I can have a burger as a side instead of French fries. because that's America. If I want to, I can have a robotic sex doll delivered to my house because I can apparently afford that. And on top of that, um I can just you know have my groceries delivered to my house and anything else I want to my house. yeah This is America, goddammit. We live in an area of fucking convenience. This is is where we are at right now. And if I really, really, really, really run at it, I could really get it. But I can't because I have a wife and she would find out.
01:44:00
Speaker
Like this is... this is the This is the world we live in. We live in a world where we can be stoned as fuck, drive, fucking... Dude, have you ever had weed so good that you just change languages?
01:44:18
Speaker
can't. I'm not experienced in the weed world. No, dude. I had weed so good that like i started like I started fighting for my life because I was like blacking out. like you I had to live. This was Kyle's weed.
01:44:33
Speaker
Kyle's weed made me pinche fucking high. Ever been pinche high? Like not high, like fucking in Spanish. Like fucking pinche high. Like so fucking high. Like you're not sure why you're driving, but you are.
01:44:45
Speaker
Like your eyes close and you wake up and you're home. like, how? wow I have not experienced in the in the weed world. at any i smoked weed twice when I was in high school. It wasn't my thing. And I've tried gummies twice in my adult life. Not my thing.
01:45:05
Speaker
Being in Colorado has... It's a vibe because everyone's baked. Like, Colorado, like, literally, you go to work. Vaping make it so accessible. They're getting baked in the produce section.
01:45:16
Speaker
All right? your' shit Like I said, they're baked as fucked in the produce section. Like, I know how to make edibles so strong that you're going to get a divorce because that's what happened to the last person that took my edibles. I called them fruity flops. Okay? he Because all cause he took it. I'm like, you're only supposed to take a quarter. took the entire thing.
01:45:36
Speaker
He took the entire fucking thing. He said he sat there flipping through Netflix, through the kids section, and he had an epiphany. Like, you know, I had a bad childhood. And then all of a sudden, like, he was there for, I guess, the entire day. And his wife came up to him like, I'm fucking leaving you. Like, you you're way too fucking high. Like, bing, shit high. Like, edibles are Colorado strong.
01:45:56
Speaker
um I'm pretty sure California can compete, but... man, just... i EDM combat. Can I put an order in for your for your edible? see people See, people want to be so high that they can claim narcolepsy.
01:46:12
Speaker
Like, it just fucking flopped on the ground. Just like, why couldn't you come to work? I was too high. Like, that's the kind of high... People want to be these days.
01:46:22
Speaker
i have noticed it more since they've legalized it in Ohio. all you know it's like I got neighbors that will literally just sit on their patio. I've got friends that have come up here.
01:46:32
Speaker
um that literally like it's not legal where I live. So as soon as I cross the border, I'm stopping at a dispensary chilling on my porch. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten free weed because they're about to go on an airplane. They're like, here, dude, I can't have this. I'm like, thank you.
01:46:48
Speaker
Thank you so much. just Dude, it it's the good weed. Yeah. Divorced. Have you ever seen Weed look like disco balls? Divorced. Guaranteed. right Yeah, he's divorced. That man is divorced. He just got married. I like i thought I was kidding.
01:47:06
Speaker
I checked on him the other day. Sincerely, I checked on him the other day. He is divorced now. I feel bad. excuse yeah just Oh, God.
01:47:17
Speaker
No, what is it? No. See, weed is one of those things in Colorado that brings everyone together. It unites us. But it's also one of those things that just makes it um easier to cope with the day.
01:47:31
Speaker
Like, just, I don't know. I used to be a really big pothead. Like, st like a pot snob. Like, my medicine isn't that isn't White's Triple Kush.
01:47:42
Speaker
That is beneath me. I will not smoke that. Like, I was a real big fucking pot snob. um I was actually an asshole, but i but I don't like weed with mold. I don't like weed with mites because I don't know if you know this, but we can get mold and mites and then it just it affects your health.
01:48:05
Speaker
And also on top of that, if you get bad weed that has, what is it, pesticides on it, then you're smoking in those pesticides. And the way you tell that is you make sure that your smoke isn't turning black. You see how this is turning white?
01:48:17
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, good weed burns white smoke, not black smoke. I don't know anything about anything when it comes to that stuff. Rocky, there is no divorcing. where You're stuck with me for life, buddy. For life, just like the NWO.
01:48:35
Speaker
Oh, no, man. know I had these notes. I'm just like, over here, just like... My son's like, talk about animal penises. I'm just like, what? Yeah.
01:48:49
Speaker
it's just oh I guess it's just like duck penis is like a fucking rope and it goes in and then it's like trying to find because female duck vaginas have a fox, a fake vagina and it's just trying to find the right one, just to impregnate her because I guess that's the defense of the of the of the duck. And then my son comes around the corner and he's like, did you know whale penises are nine feet long and four inches around? I'm like, I really need to watch what you're watching. But that's very interesting. I really need to monitor the internet. No, it is. Yeah.
01:49:25
Speaker
that awesome no it is yeah I want to more go get ready and in and wrap this up.
