Thanks for listening to a great idea and doing what I said to do. I mean, it's should to be determined if it's a great idea, but I have a philosophy around here. Either a show's going to be fantastic or it's going to be an absolute fucking train wreck.
00:04:36

And either way, it's good. was going to say, either the show's fantastic or it'll be Michael's fault. Well, yeah, I'll do that. Hey, man, I appreciate it. It's a comfortable shirt. appreciate Yeah, man, it's a nice, comfortable shirt. I wear it around the house, actually, quite a bit.
00:04:52

I don't wear it out in public. I don't want people to know that I'm associated with you. That makes sense to me.

It is a very comfortable shirt, so thank you for bringing that up the last time you were or down last time you were here. Thanks for donning Yeah, absolutely, man.

00:07:47
Speaker
I'll give you a couple couple surprises for you tonight.
00:07:52
Speaker
who Real quick. go through there be How long have you how long you been doing stand-up, Michael? My first time on stage... Boy, April 16th, 2019.
00:08:04
Speaker
That
00:08:11
Speaker
was my first time on stage. Oh, wow. So you're... oh know that Is that new or is that veteran status at this point and the in the comedy world? The Savannah Comedy Review thing is a...
00:08:26
Speaker
Five year minimum competition. You have to be a five year comedian. I won that fucker. I won that fucker at 18 and a half months. A friend of mine, old friend of mine, we're not friends anymore. He recommended me to the guy. He said, invite him.
00:08:40
Speaker
he

Tyler's Path to Comedy

00:08:41
Speaker
He was right. And that's my, another reason I love that win because
00:08:48
Speaker
I did not have the enough money to drive there and get back. I had to podium or I was hitchhiking or sucking a dick.
00:08:59
Speaker
I mean, you still stuck the dick to get home, but that's irrelevant. Turns out desperation makes me pretty funny. And another interesting part to that story, I drew the short straw. I had to open the show.
00:09:10
Speaker
I went first and still won. Damn. Damn. That's hard to do. Some may say, nigh impossible.
00:09:21
Speaker
I'm the best in the world of what I do. Call me Wolverine.
00:09:26
Speaker
Easy. I'm to try to out-ego you. You know my shtick. mean I mean, you can try all day long. I'm here to heal the heel. ah check that Sincerely, though, I'm to say it again on the show.
00:09:41
Speaker
Thanks for welcoming me in, making me feel at home, offering me your brotherhood. man It's been so much fun. I'm so excited to be working with you guys and hanging out and having fun. Hell yeah, man. I think, i think it's safe to say, and I'll speak for everybody and this is, and going to get ready and bring Tyler up, but I think this is a safe bet that I can speak for everybody here, man. We love having you on board with us.
00:10:01
Speaker
Um, we love what you're doing. We love that you're excited to be here. Number one, you got an eagerness to, to, to do things that, uh, you know other people wasn't really eager to do. so you know We're excited for it. and and I was excited for tonight when you brought it up.
00:10:15
Speaker
was like, fuck yeah, I don't have no problem switching things up. on

Overcoming Setbacks and Finding Support

00:10:19
Speaker
I've done it before. We'll do it again. It's my show. I know what I want. As long as the boss says it's okay.
00:10:26
Speaker
There's a trust here. I'm bringing you two very funny guys. Very good friends of mine as well. They're like family. Nice. Well, let's meet one of those guys. and I already don't like the guy.
00:10:37
Speaker
So we're going to see if he can save himself. We got Tyler Snotty Snodgrass in the podium. You could have told me beforehand you were from Pittsburgh, bro. Dude, you know, people will say say things to me like I'm a yinzer, I'm a ginger, and I really don't like those terms. I think it's because of the hard R.
00:10:57
Speaker
Maybe if you said, what's up, my ginger, I'd be like, nothing much, just smoking bowls and stealing souls, my brother. Or what's up, yinza?
00:11:08
Speaker
It's like, nah, just hanging out in that, you know. I'm dropping the hard R all over you, just so you know. that's why That's how you get your soul stolen, dude. That's how you get your soul stolen.
00:11:23

That makes one of us. you know i told my therapist the other day that i'm a bit of a narcissist he said oh don't worry tyler everyone's a bit of a narcissist i said yeah but i'm the best at it that's about the time i started writing on that notepad of his probably about how awesome i am you guys should work that out over here to be him
00:12:11
Speaker
but Yeah, thanks for having me on guys. I know you normally have music. It's nice that you guys are doing comics right now. I've always said that comics have just as much of a sex, drugs, and rock and roll mentality as any rock star.

When he knew the whole time i had two places to be that night, I had the other commitment first. Yep. What
00:14:47
Speaker
yeah but do you say that guy? Tyler, what do I say about what? What do you do in that situation? I had a thing with Arliss, too. I made it fit for this guy to help him out, and then it was bitching and we left early. and We knew we had to leave early.
00:15:04
Speaker
Were they paying gigs or non-paying gigs? the What about it, Tyler? Did you get paid? I think I got five bucks or something like that.
00:15:15
Speaker
I don't know the other guy, but I know Arliss, and Arliss is my guy, so I'd have been like, Fuck you. I'm out. Arliss is my guy, too. That's not for this family. Arliss is the shit.
00:15:25
Speaker
He's got major talent, man. He's got major talent. he He kills the dude. He gets up there. he And, you know, puts on a show.
00:15:35
Speaker
like Yeah. Full on environment. You know, you got people on the dance floor dancing, you know, folks that didn't think that they were on a B busting their rump or up there, you know, getting in with everybody. Arliss Walker's hardcore gangster rap. He's the best.
00:15:52
Speaker
You can see ro you start seeing pompadours wobbling around that haven't gone around in about 20 years or so. you know, just getting up there, grooving with all the ladies and their big hair.
00:16:07
Speaker
you know, it's a great time. I love seeing our lives. I've seen a beehive many times on outlaw shows. but
00:16:16
Speaker
I'm sorry, Vic. I think I cut you off. You're going to ask Tyler something. I apologize. Yeah, Tyler, before we bring Marco up, ah Why don't you, you know, kind of like let everybody know kind of how long youve been doing comedy. And I know you said you sucked at everything else you tried, but is it something that you just kind of stumbled into? Like, hey, I'm kind of funny.
00:16:37
Speaker
Well, i ah I've always been a goofball. You know, back in the day, people used call me eccentric. Now they call it autistic. I thought I had a personality turned out to have a disease, you know?
00:16:49
Speaker
So, yeah. Yeah, I was always kind of a bit of a goofball and i tried to be in ah in a band. And the thing about instruments is the transfer from mine to actually like putting it in someone someone's ears is like you got to learn an instrument.
00:17:09
Speaker
You got to think of how it's going sound when you're playing it. And for my ADHD mind, that's too much separation. so i never got into bands but then i thought well i'll be a dj skrillex is like a billionaire like whatever yeah and it fit a little bit but like i don't know it just became like i started playing parties that you know i saw people getting too messed up at you know and i couldn't see you myself
00:17:41
Speaker
ah allowing that to happen, you know creating the environment for that. So I kind of got out of DJing. And then after DJing, I was listening to a lot of podcasts. I was working a dead-end job, but just hating my life, living through my 20s. And during the podcast, i were a lot of comedy podcasts, and they were talking about a lot of things.

Marco's Transition to Comedy

00:18:04
Speaker
I was feeling about how they grew up. I grew up the same way. then they're talking about how to start doing comedy. And I was like, you know what? I've i've always got stories.
00:18:17
Speaker
Like whenever I'm with the family, I'm sitting around the table holding court, telling funny stories. So in twenty and November or October of 2018, started doing comedy And it really hit off.
00:18:34
Speaker
And I thought that I was going places and things were awesome. And I was on Be Famous in like two years. And then two years COVID happened and ruined my entire life. So...
00:18:49
Speaker
I'm here going ahead and just trying to be funny. You know, there's been times so I wanted to go ahead and quit and think that wasn't going work out. But comedy is as much of a part of me as, you know, anything else. You know, I have to eat. I have to go ahead and get on stage and tell jokes, man.
00:19:11
Speaker
So that's absolutely right. Same for me. It's a calling. Yeah. Yeah. calling uh buddy sean uh one of my friends i'd been telling him for a long time but i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do what i'm gonna do it there was this wednesday thing you know the uh uh caucasian falls funny stop oh and yeah so he says to me look i'm tired of hearing this shit we're going tonight or i never want to hear about it again so me hillbilly lindsey uh sean and fat randy jump in the car
00:19:46
Speaker
In my brain, at just at that time, had such a big ego. You have one. I'm daydreaming a whole drive there. These people are gonna be like, where did you come from? i know but Where have you been? We're gonna sign you today, you know?
00:20:00
Speaker
Meanwhile, Lindsay's saying nothing, just laughing at everybody. Fat Randy and Sean constantly, you're going to freeze. You're going suck, man. You're going to bomb. Everyone's going to hate you. You're going to freeze. yeah was The whole way.
00:20:12
Speaker
They're running me down. I'm thinking, you going to be rocky up there. I got there, and I didn't freeze. But halfway through my set, I was just like, out loud into the microphones. True story. First time up, I was like, this is a lot tougher thought it But I made it through my first five minutes. I got laughs, man. And I was addicted ever since. That was my calling. That's why I was put on this earth for The feeling is like no drug I've ever taken in my life. And I have lived that life a little bit.
00:20:40
Speaker
And... The comedy just fills a certain spot that nothing else can go ahead and even. That energy exchange, right?
00:20:52
Speaker
You put out the energy that gives the energy back and throw it back at him. I mean, that's it's a whole dude. It's almost spiritual, man. It's.
00:21:01
Speaker
People like you. It's transcendent. It's the feeling of people liking you and it's so odd to me because normally people don't. Not only that, you control their emotions.
00:21:13
Speaker
You know what I mean? You take them down roads that lead to a whole dunder plate. I mean, do. Sagecraft is everything. Presence is everything. Presentation is everything. You have the whole package and you have a gray night great night with the right crowd.
00:21:27
Speaker
You can s flirt with greatness. dude making somebody why flirt with greatness when you can be greatness like me yeah there you go behind you dude i hear it i hear it yeah see maybe this kid's gonna grow on me even though he's from schittsburgh i guess i can i guess it'll be all right listen why are you so jealous all of our all of our franchises are about to turn keel over and die right now dude like we we I mean, yeah, we go ahead and do you guys dirty every year.

00:22:28
Speaker
yeah Because I can't wait to add him to the graveyard. And I was like, that's my fucking guy right there. That's right. My favorite Miles moment, helmet. Pow! we it I will kill for him.
00:22:40
Speaker
That's a teammate, man. That's a ride or die. Can I say something real quick? yeah I've never seen this guy who's so patient and so willing to wait.
00:22:51
Speaker
Let's bring him in. Oh, oh, oh. I know, I know, I know. hes I can't see him, but I know how he was active backstage. And sorry, Marco, I've kind of been doing this on purpose.

00:23:49
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, well, I'd like to get i'd like to good um get to know a little bit about Marco over here. Because seems guy man he was human seems like he's a little bit of a character. No, he's a little bit of a character.
00:24:00
Speaker
Yeah, without the head I look like a picture. ah
00:24:06
Speaker
ah i thought I thought you were a little Dutchie, dude. You look like ah a frickin' Latin Nido rapper. Please burn you, Timu Ernie. Timu Ernie!
00:24:17
Speaker
I got the Bert costume in the car. Yeah,
00:24:24
Speaker
yeah I'd like to get to know a little bit about Marco. Marco, what do you... what do you ah Michael told me, and and I hope I get this right, but Michael said you're not so much as of a comedian as more as a hobbyist.

Challenges and Storytelling in Comedy

00:24:38
Speaker
Yeah. that That's like, you know, like, Mike, he's over here talking spiritual and fucking, you know, the the kid on the spectrum wants to fit in.
00:24:51
Speaker
oh You know, I kind of started doing this out of spite.
00:24:57
Speaker
He does, too. He just sits up there to handle the audience. Ironically ironically enough, um the man who started me doing comedian is the one and only Michael Copenhaver.
00:25:11
Speaker
oh Him and I were having a drink one night, or 50, and there might have been other extracurriculars involved. But he said something about writing jokes and doing, you know, putting putting a set together and stuff.
00:25:30
Speaker
And now previously, um for almost a decade, I've been like a metal host. You know, um ah the guys from my studio, we used to do a lot of live band concerts for local bands, um host a lot of shows. So I'd be the one announcing the people. I'd be out on stage acting the fool in between the bands or whatever.
00:25:51
Speaker
So I looked at him being the the cocky egomaniac that I am. And I said, well, that shit ain't no harder than the shit that I fucking do. And after bickering back and forth, he it just so happens he was hosting an open mic the next day out in Austontown, Ohio.
00:26:09
Speaker
Well, if you fucking think you could do it, then you bring your ass up there fucking smart and get on stage. That's how I got into it, ironically. So I paid it forward. I walk i walked up, ah you know, I went there the next day with my producer, and I've been doing it ever since.
00:26:25
Speaker
Do you remember the first joke you wrote? Was it Flower Pot? No, flower pot water can or so flower pot story didn't come till maybe a year down the road. That's the first one I remember.
00:26:37
Speaker
And that wasn't even that wasn't even a joke. I was I was fucking traumatized. You know, I met one of my first gag hags and gag hags.
00:26:48
Speaker
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, real quick. I have an idea of what a gag hag is, but please. A chuckle fucker.
00:27:00
Speaker
A chuckle fucker. ah A lot lizard, as they say. no, some women just laugh and then come.
00:27:11
Speaker
Yeah, I get to this chick's house and like she was, I don't know what made her feel that comfortable with me because most of the time I'm in some weird onesie.
00:27:22
Speaker
So she was, that was already a fucking red flag right there, I guess. But, you know, um I'm at her house and she got the door open to her bathroom and like she's sitting on the toilet and she pulls up, the you know, the fucking flower pots that you water like your flowers with the old school ones. um water a can a Water can. Yeah. Like the ones Nana got in the backyard, like the metal one.
00:27:47
Speaker
She picks one up from the side of her toilet like she was ready and she's fucking watering the punani down. she's. Water makes the grass grow. Yeah, she's watering the garden for you.
00:27:59
Speaker
Like, it it was like ah a homemade bidet, like a poor man bidet or whatever the fuck. She was getting wet for you. Look, whatever it was, I mean, ah it was it was just odd to me.
00:28:16
Speaker
i Mike thought it was most... Yeah, yeah, of course he did. Come on now, no wrong are with you? Are you serious? I washed your water and pussy, motherfucker. You don't want to make sure because some guys are like, don't what that crazy bitch was doing and just snuck out the bedroom

Are you a storyteller, or do you actually sit down and and and and write?
00:35:35
Speaker
What's that?
00:35:38
Speaker
uh so i i have my jokey jokes i i am definitely a one-liner comic but the way that i do one-liners it's set up as a story i have like theme sets so it goes through you know my dating history or i'm just sitting there ah so i'll give you one of the jokes that i wrote i wrote i was sitting there ah in In the salad years and eat my poverty dinner, which was hot dogs and hot dogs.
00:36:16
Speaker
You know? Eat this yisher dinner. Yeah, I was eating hot dogs. Definitely yisher dinner. But I opened up, the i went to get the bag out, and I saw that wasn't zipped up all the way.
00:36:30
Speaker
And then I thought to myself, oh my gosh, are they still going to be good, right? and then i'm like they're pork's anuses right and then i was thinking about like that would be a good freaking joke

Struggles and Triumphs in Comedy

00:36:41
Speaker
so i thought about like who would be the most offended that they were pork butts so then the joke became i was at work and this girl started bringing packages of hot dogs every day to eat during the week you know and uh One day she notices she didn't zip up the bag all the way and she's like, oh no, do you think they're so good? I said, yeah, they're pork's anuses. I'm sure it's fine.
00:37:09
Speaker
She said, no, these are beef brats. I said, okay, cow anuses. Fuck it. And she's like, oh, my God, do you really think they're pork anuses? And like, yeah, do you know how much steak is? They're not going ahead and using the choices meat to put into intestine for you, right? And she flipped the heck out. And I was like, women, dude, completely fine with stuffing meat ah wieners in their mouth.
00:37:36
Speaker
But once you ask them to eat some ass, they get all fruity. know like i got not girls easy days And then like I also got stuff that's made in real life and then stuff that is just me fantasizing about the craziest thing I can fantasize about.
00:37:56
Speaker
And the thing is, is people always think the crazy jokes are obviously not true. And the true ones are actually the ones that i the The made-up ones are actually the ones that sound more mundane. you know i need to go ahead and fake being like a regular person. you know I can be exaggerated just in my natural state.
00:38:21
Speaker
but just
00:38:24
Speaker
It's funny she says that because I ate a banana before the show.
00:38:31
Speaker
What did I have before? had pizza. Taco Bell. I was craving Taco Bell. Taco Bell is my stuff, dude.
00:38:43
Speaker
it's It's the greatest Mexican food on the planet. You know, I tell you what, my 2024 really sucked, dude. The closest I got to hearing an orgasm was putting a straw into a Baja blast.
00:38:57
Speaker
Ha, ha, ha. um of That was terrible. ah I love that joke.
00:39:15
Speaker
Good to see you, It's not a hidden secret enjoyment at this point, Jedi. It's all right. It's out there. It is what it is at the end of the day. She's not putting my business out there.
00:39:28
Speaker
neil Is that what you're saying? No, the foul-shaped food. Most guys' sit secret hidden enjoyment. Oh, oh, oh. My corn dogs are pretty dope.
00:39:40
Speaker
I love sausage. Kielbasa is fantastic. Hot sausage. You make me a sausage. I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of people like sausage. No shit. I love putting flicks meat in my mouth and I visit them in person.
00:39:54
Speaker
Well, I mean, I just... Once he had my meat in his mouth, he couldn't stop talking about how great it was when he was there. Ain't no lie. Yum meat.
00:40:05
Speaker
Happy Pride Month, everybody. Happy Pride Month. The secret's out. It's no big deal.
00:40:15
Speaker
Oh, my God. Okay. So i want I want to ask you guys, and and I know Michael feels ways about this. So let's let's get real for a minute because I do want to hear some stories because obviously you guys have traveled and done some stuff together.
00:40:28
Speaker
Is this that grenade we're talking about? You tossing grenade now? Just watch and see. So I've had some experience with with stand-up comedians, and I was shocked by it.
00:40:40
Speaker
Because i learned I learned one thing real quick and in a hurry. Now, I'm not going to say you three in general, but the ones that I had, and this was a whole mess of bunch of oversensitive crybaby prima donna jerk-offs.
00:40:56
Speaker
yeah The comedy stand-up scene for you guys, because I always ask this question or my when I have musicians on here, and I've been really surprised that the music community, is from what they've said, is amazing.
00:41:09
Speaker
They really get behind each other. They really support each other. a second that. if ah If a drummer's sick and another band's playing close by and their drummer's available, he's like, yo, I got you guys, or vice versa. I've talked to guys that have filled in for other bands because their singer couldn't make a show or was sick or had some family stuff.
00:41:26
Speaker
But I learned on a visit on to Tampa that, and I thought maybe it's just Tampa. So I'm curious to get your guys' input. Comedians, y'all are some cutthroat motherfuckers and will step on your granny's fucking uterus to get ahead.
00:41:43
Speaker
A lot of them. i ah the way I've met a lot, a whole lot there' lot. So in your guys' experience, yeah, I would love to hear what you guys have seen and and and kind of been through.
00:41:55
Speaker
Oh, I've been through a lot. Oh, i've i've I've been through quite a bit. Tell the story, Tyler. It's worth it. Tell the story. Or don't. It's up to you. I come from Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh's comedy the scene is a lot of open mics with 50 people on them every night.
00:42:14
Speaker
ah Yes, there's an open mic every night. There's five of them every night. But 50 comics on all of them. There's two clubs. One of them is like a social justice warrior place, which is fine, which is fine.
00:42:30
Speaker
But if you go ahead and say one wrong thing to everyone who's okay there... then you're like never going to get in anywhere. ah There's a lot of it's just shows where you're passing 20 bucks back and forth.
00:42:44
Speaker
And the only actual club in Pittsburgh is the improv, which is pulling people in that are nationally touring artists. artists so it gets very cutthroat uh people have delusions of grandeur everybody thinks they're bigger than what they are lack of self-awareness yeah and what happens is is when they're not getting something that you're getting because they think they're better than you Then they will go ahead and cut you down, destroy you and say whatever they need to. They'll steal your jokes.
00:43:16
Speaker
They will go ahead and act like you stole their jokes. And it comes down to a point where I had somebody I i just started. COVID was happening. I wasn't getting many shows anymore, but somebody gave me a spot.
00:43:30
Speaker
They wanted me to put together a show. I went ahead and put together a bunch of people that were always nice to me and I had no problem with. And one of the dudes, I was giving him a chance. I didn't think he was ah all that great.
00:43:47
Speaker
He went ahead and talked shit on all types of different promoters at a party I was at. And I said, if I get a chance, I'm going to let that dude do that to me. I'll put him on a show. i put him on the show all of a sudden he's walking off the show telling me that he doesn't want to be on it and it's like the day before the show and i said can you find somebody to replace you because it's the last like it's tomorrow and he's like no i said no you can't leave it's tomorrow and he's like well too bad i won't be there i'm like well can you go ahead and find somebody else and he's like no go fuck yourself right
00:44:24
Speaker
so yeah ah day goes on the The day goes on, right? And I hadn't changed the flyer yet.
00:44:35
Speaker
His face was still on the flyer. I get home from my job, my day job, and he's all on Facebook saying, hey, if a comic didn't take your photo off of the flyer, is that some bullshit for you to go ahead and have a thing about?
00:44:53
Speaker
And I went and private messaged him. I'm like, dude, why are you being such a bitch about this? Right. He flips out on me, gives me a whole fucking spiel about how I'm terrible, how I'm not shit. I will never be shit. Just shitting on me left, right and center. I went and deleted the message, blocked him, got him off my shit.
00:45:14
Speaker
The next day, like the next week after the show, i ah I had a graduation show for a comedy ah the class I was doing.
00:45:25
Speaker
And all of a sudden, it was like the best show that I ever had, too, at that point. Like, I was just starting out. I murdered the crowd. My jokes were hitting and I was on cloud nine.
00:45:38
Speaker
Honestly, I was having a great time. ah walk out of the club. One of the comics says, Hey man, you should stay for the open mic. You need to stay for the open mic. Pressuring me to go ahead and stay. I said, nah, man.
00:45:50
Speaker
I'm good. Me and mom are ready to go. So mom went ahead, paid for her drinks. We were about to leave. This kid that was going ahead and talking shit on me is like, hey, man, what the fuck is up? I said, dude, you were being just as disrespectful to me as I was to you. And i like that's what it is.
00:46:12
Speaker
And he goes ahead and he starts talking all types of shit. I should have known it was going to be a problem when he walked up to me without his glasses on, but he goes ahead and squares up on me. So I go ahead and put my hands up to block them. Right.
00:46:24
Speaker
And then he goes out puts his hands down. Right. And then so I went ahead and disarm and then he just goes ahead and starts punching me in the face repeatedly. Right. And all of a sudden, i went from having the best time of my life, having a great time, to never feeling comfortable in the Pittsburgh scene for about three years.
00:46:46
Speaker
I'm still not comfortable in the Pittsburgh scene. ah It's so cutthroat. It's so annoying. People will go ahead and just sit on you for no reason and backstab you. And that's why I started doing comedy out there.
00:47:03
Speaker
Copenhaver's way again. I rolled my ankle at a concert finding myself on the wrong side of a mosh pit after 30. and totally ruined my ankle was up for about two months and that whole two months i was just thinking like dude i can't do comedy anymore it's not working out i don't feel the way that i used to about it anymore and it just got to a point where after being up for three months i was i in two months i i just didn't think i needed it anymore you know i could do it and you told me a lot of times what did tell you
00:47:43
Speaker
You know, well, what happened was I just started going ahead and going to the funny farm, you know, and it got me loving it again with all the people like everybody's happy to see me in Ohio.
00:47:55
Speaker
Nobody's got shit to talk to about me, you know. if i want to talk comedy with somebody they'll talk comedy with me and it's just like it's a totally different environment and you do have you know terrible comedy scenes they do happen and it is rough you know because the thing is is in a band you have like a group of dudes or chicks or whatever you have a group to roll with you you know what i mean when you're doing comedy most of the time it is just you you're the one making the flyers you're the one making the calls you're the one writing the jokes you're the one up there performing you're the one driving there you're the one doing this that and the other thing and you have to go ahead and be on your fucking shit and if somebody starts stepping to you taking something away from you
00:48:48
Speaker
people get real bent out of shape about it you know me i don't have the energy for it dude i i like so don't have the energy to be an asshole and like that's why i just hang out with you know copenhaver we go out have fun we drive to new york have a great time i accidentally have a freaking joint p fly out the window and there's a second there where like in a comedy movie where i'm like how the fuck Time stood still.
00:49:16
Speaker
How the fuck do I explain that this just happened? You didn't have to. Marco was like, what the fuck did you just do? didn't fucking join out the window. I didn't tap it.
00:49:27
Speaker
I went to go and tap it out. It just went, zoop. It took it out of my hand. 10 seconds here, out the window it goes.
00:49:36
Speaker
Yeah, man. so like You just got to find your group. You know what i mean? got to find your hang. Yeah. And if you're thinking about getting into comedy, Like, don't be afraid of it. If people don't like you, that's going to happen. You're going to bomb. If you're killing it every night, you're making the same exact jokes.
00:49:54
Speaker
You're walling yourself off and you're not growing as a comic. So it's all part of it. Going through the ups and downs are just something that happens,

Wild Comedy Show Stories

00:50:04
Speaker
man. And just remember why you love it for that one time where you and the audience just fucking click.
00:50:11
Speaker
And like, you want to have good cries after you get on stage. get off stage because of you know emotional it is sometimes. and See, stepping back and and looking at it from a different perspective than most comedians, I noticed like a lot of a lot of the comedy scene is almost like a cult.
00:50:35
Speaker
It's like a witch's cult. And there's a bunch of different ones. And as soon as you don't do something or you go against the fucking cult, they shun the fuck out you. Shit. Yeah. And then, and then if you're associated, like I usually try to keep neutral with everybody, you know, and like you disrespect me, then I'll disrespect you. But you know, i treat everybody accordingly, but ah i've noticed like, you know, just even, even it's even happened to me a few times, you know, just because I'm cool with certain people or I refuse to turn my back on somebody because they did something that you think was wrong.
00:51:12
Speaker
You know, then I get kind of blackballed from a few places. I mean, don't get me wrong. I get blackballed from a lot of places just from my mouth. But the most banned comedian I've ever met.
00:51:24
Speaker
I'm up there with me and Fred Fred. well He's got like three places you can still tell jokes. and And like the fights that I've ever, like I've i've caused fights. Like I've had people try to come at me on stage. I've had people come at other comedians thinking they were me.
00:51:40
Speaker
ah We've been so many shows together, right? One weekend, I'm out of town. Just me out of town. That fucking Struthers blew up. Oh, yeah. yeah there I'm every week. Me and my buddy Will, man, we were always getting adventures there. I loved that place.
00:51:54
Speaker
And we killed that spot every single time. It great crowd, great venue. And the one time I don't go, like a race war erupted. Wow. No, it was a race war. It was a gender war. Well, that's a different one then. It's the one Will told me about.
00:52:08
Speaker
Well, which one? Because there was one with two chicks, two two black chicks and a baby. That's the baby one. Yeah, the baby one. Oh, that was nothing. That was nothing, dude.
00:52:19
Speaker
Wait, hold on a second. A baby? You've got to share this one real quick because I know Michael's got some pent up that he wants to get out about the question I asked, but we got to hear this. Two two two black ladies and a and a baby.
00:52:36
Speaker
You'd be surprised how much a baby is at a comedy show. Just saying. I'm doing my set and I'm like, you know, my sets get kind of sketchy sometimes. You know, it's but ah there's new about marco za Here's the thing about Marco Zack.
00:52:51
Speaker
He's up there to entertain himself more than anyone else. he know he Very experimental. Very avant-garde, if you want to say. He's just up there doing Marco. He's...
00:53:02
Speaker
unique continuum. So I'm dressed, and now mind you, I'm dressed as Piglet. Piglet from Winnie the Pooh. I'm in a fucking Piglet outfit, and I'm doing these jokes.
00:53:15
Speaker
And now these two black ladies, and they weren't even ladies. They didn't even look like they were in their 20s. They were sitting at a table with a baby. They were obviously babysitting. Couldn't have belonged to them.
00:53:28
Speaker
Drinking beers. So the one comes down and calls me an asshole. The other one's holding the baby. It was like, yeah, I met motherfuckers like you when I was in prison.
00:53:41
Speaker
um oh First of all, I'm a dude. Second of all, ah what, what? You met a Puerto Rican dude who got black kids in prison?
00:53:54
Speaker
Dude, like, she just looked at me. She was so mad. She went out the wrong door. She... Couple seconds, then like, I'm talking to the crowd. Like, you know, what the fuck's going on?
00:54:08
Speaker
She comes back in, so I start heckling her all the way. Dude, fucking great. Fucking great. They wanted to fight me. They wanted to beat up Piglet. But the... so The one that got violent, though...
00:54:24
Speaker
was at the same bar it was like two weeks later i said a few jokes or whatever there wasn't what i thought was like a seven foot dude um sitting in the back with the rest of the dudes that were back there but apparently it was a chick dude dude chick i don't know which way to transform or whatever But I didn't take kindly to my jokes and was very, very, like, delayed.
00:54:55
Speaker
It was drunk. It was very drunk. Because by the time I got off stage and went in the back, I have a cigarette. The next kid, another local comedian, gets up there. And she goes and attacks him thinking that she's me.
00:55:10
Speaker
She jumps over a fucking like this the fucking divider, the wall there. Fucking lunges at this poor dude. The other comedian has grabbed her up.
00:55:23
Speaker
He's fucking face to face. There's video. no One of the comedians from Cleveland, Milton Wiley, comes into the back. I'm smoking a cigarette. He's laughing his ever-living ass off.
00:55:37
Speaker
Calling me an asshole. Like, what the fuck did I do? Then the comedian Jason Molitorno. She went at him. White kid!
00:55:48
Speaker
White kid at that! Super miltow. Like no material at all. He's even telling her, he's like, do you... You do know I'm a different comedian. I'm white.
00:56:00
Speaker
I'm white. Look at my hair. I'm sure I like i know his cadence, so I know exactly how he's talking to this lady.

Speaker
Hell yeah. We're just talking, you know. Nope, everybody's scattered. Most would leave early. And somebody touched on something. People that act like that, like toward Tyler, one of the sweetest kids I've ever met. Dude, good guy, man. He's a good guy.
00:59:04
Speaker
I know this kid. That was some bullshit, man. It really makes me angry every time I hear it. I know people. I want to have that kid shot in the face. Yeah. I had a lot of people that felt the same way you did.
00:59:19
Speaker
he If he would have gone ahead and come at me again, he would have had a biker gang after him. Yeah. He still should. Give him the fuck weeds. Oh my god. I've never had run-ins with a biker gang too. Some folks fuck with me. like I'm a real nice dude, which means i got a lot of friends, which means you don't know who's going to go ahead and fucking come after you if you go ahead and wrong me.
00:59:41
Speaker
but That was just bullshit, man. that sort of fit me out I met so many people, right? Like you were saying, they'll step on anybody to get ahead. But you don't have to. That's the thing.
00:59:53
Speaker
There's plenty of room at the top. Just get good. Work on your craft. Don't steal other people's appeal. but There are so many fallacies and fictions about comedy that these other comedians have.
01:00:06
Speaker
Like ah there's the seven golden whatever... You just need seven jokes. According to somebody, was um Steve Harvey said that in a book. All you need seven jokes and that's it.
01:00:18
Speaker
And you can get that. Really? I've been working my ass off. I've been a tryhard as a motherfucker then. I got way to build a game. He's got a lot more money than us. and he's yeah A lot more success too.
01:00:33
Speaker
Well, it's just like Jerry Seinfeld saying that you never wear shorts on stage and now like every comic thinks that it's a hard rule that you have to go ahead and wear pants. I've heard people say that bullshit. That's like a professional from day one.
01:00:46
Speaker
My first open mic, I had my jacket on and everything else. My first few Mike's I, I, dressed normal and nobody paid attention and now nobody knows who the fuck I am. If I dress normal, I have to tell them I'm dressed like an illegal. If I dress normal, but a lot of egos, sensitive, sensitive, fragile egos.
01:01:05
Speaker
I mean, I've got lots of stories, but I kind of want to tell most of them because it, look, I'm going to tell this one because this deals with Michael's ego um It's my turn. now if He wants to hear my opinion on this. i but but Yeah, but you're on here. Whether you want it or not. let's say It feels directly to what you know cause Mike does. Mike will get his himself hyped up. He's the man when he goes out to a show.
01:01:31
Speaker
I roll with him. In his head, he's he's the fucking million dollar man. And we're sitting out back of a show. And he just reminded me of this, too. We're sitting out back of a show getting ready out in Cleveland. There's a All black bar, but it don't matter. You know, comedy is comedy, especially, you know,
01:01:49
Speaker
We're sitting back there and he's all sitting cool and he's all Mr. Tough. wow job The biggest pterodactyl bird shit on the back of his head. my ear and shit, dude. This is a true story.
01:02:06
Speaker
That was the universe, right? Because then they called him to go up on stage. Like, right the right there. like It wasn't even time to wipe it off. Kind of made me blow it in like it's a gray spot.
01:02:18
Speaker
He went on stage with the fucking pterodactyls. And ah for to his credit, he killed it. He got it off his ear. He got it off the ear.
01:02:31
Speaker
But I did. There's a super line to that story. I got a joke out of it. Yeah. ah got yeah other partner that too yeah I got I'm bad adventure, man.
01:02:41
Speaker
Fuck yeah. There's a stupid wives tale. Like if the bird shit's on it was lucky. Mm-hmm. That was the third time in my fucking life that's happened to me. None of the the those times that feel lucky all.
01:02:53
Speaker
yeah yeah I was lucky that I seen that, dude. That was fucking hilarious. Everybody else was lucky that got to see it happen.
01:03:04
Speaker
Dude, I was like, what the fuck's happened? I thought he threw something on me. What the fuck are you doing? He said, what are you fucking desert? And he's like, I didn't do nothing. he You see something here? It kind of felt like blood.
01:03:16
Speaker
looked weird. Man, I had smeared all over myself, man. Trying to figure out what it was. Fuck! It was in my hair. I don't know what the fuck kind of birds they got flying over Cleveland or whatever the fuck.
01:03:29
Speaker
This is a mutant bird. It was like there's three or four birds worth of shit in one shit. Or they just didn't like his cockiness, so they just kept dying, palming him. We're going to hit him all at once.
01:03:42
Speaker
it was the day after uh bird thanksgiving dude it was something that would appeal to paint off the b-side and coventry yeah that was b-side i'll never forget that yeah now it's that day all oh he was heated but but copenaver copenaver can go ahead and get himself up in a fuss, man.
01:04:10
Speaker
like I've seen Kopenhauer hit himself in such a fuss before. I can't imagine with him with burn shit on his fucking ear. I'm an animated guy. I got passion, man. I got passion. You got shit on that. I sure did and um That or youre or you're you're autistic and you have Tourette's?
01:04:31
Speaker
Oh, shit. the That was a fucking great moment. For you. no But yeah, I did get a little bit of material out of it. One stupid story.
01:04:43
Speaker
But that's what I do. I just tell stories of my life. but um I was going somewhere. Cut me off. Son of bitch. You were talking about the people in the comments. So people got to step all over other people.
01:04:55
Speaker
And it's not like that. And I've been in those scenes. And I'm not liked in those scenes. And then I'm fine with that. So what I decided to do was build the comedy scene I want to be a part of.
01:05:08
Speaker
People that come and work with me don't work for me, they work with me. It's a partnership. I bring these guys out, I pay them to do what they do ah well compared to everybody else.
01:05:18
Speaker
That's a fact. And the crowds get a good show, the owner gets a good crowd, and we get to come back. It's a symbol. I don't dump anybody.
01:05:31
Speaker
That's what I was afraid of. This motherfucker is creepy. Two things real quick, Michael.
01:05:44

If Marco sends me something, I just send him. I'm not opening that. Yeah, they never, never quit doing that shit like five years ago. I opened your mouth on mushrooms. clean Oh, yeah. yeah But what you were saying what's what's you're saying, Michael, speaks volumes because it's kind of what I've been doing here.

Life Experiences in Comedy

01:27:08
Speaker
I fucked with them and it almost cost us our lives. We're drivers. Word to the wise, kids. Don't call Puerto Ricans Mexicans while they're driving.
01:27:18
Speaker
That's my favorite Marco story. We're going to Ohio. I don't know what. I just pushed, pushed, I'm point, point. I could not make words. You know what ended up coming out of his mouth?
01:27:29
Speaker
Settle down. He said settle down. That's right. I'll never fucking forget that. use because it would just I forgot. I was saying words. Settle down, settle down. That's right.
01:27:42
Speaker
That's just true, man. And that's what's funny. You tell the stories and they're funny. And we actually live that shit. And moments like this, we can corroborate them, are gold.
01:27:53
Speaker
I don't know that's as much comedy as it is doing comedy with Copenhagen because I have a Copenhagen story. and we So going back to that birthday party, we had to go somewhere else. ah we do we go to We go to this...
01:28:10
Speaker
this RLIS show, right? and before you know it, you know, we're 47 picklebacks in uh cowboys about to drive us and uh we're all of a sudden up at this random house none of the lights work in there it was dark as fuck we're using flashlights and shit this house i don't know where the fuck we are and then we go the casino and we sit in the parking lot for two hours Two hours, Tyler, really?
01:28:43
Speaker
yeah It was full-on two hours. Then we could finally get inside of this casino, and Michael Copenhaver's like, we're going to win some big money. He didn't. um um I sitting like,
01:29:00
Speaker
I'm hoping that the bar is open and we get there and the dude is like cleaning up the bar and everything like it just closed so we sat in the parking lot for two hours while I could gotten shit-faced while they're at the bar Michael Copenheimer's like why don't you just go ahead and gamble I'm like no if I'm gonna waste money it's gonna be on getting drunk not on gambling yeah So wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. If we got distracted, because i feel like I just got implicated or I'm an accessory now.
01:29:34
Speaker
Sounds like you guys got hammered and you did a break in and entering and took whatever fucking stole out of the house. I needed gambling money. I don't even know what we were actually doing there for sure. don't know if I'm allowed to talk about what we were doing there.
01:29:51
Speaker
holy fully there And that's what I mean. Like when I told told you guys earlier, comedy is just as much punk rock, sex drugs and rock and roll you know as anything else is dude because you get into some shit you know the shit is what gives you stories the stories are what become your material on stage man you know you'd be surprised one of the next ones i'll bring out my buddy will and we'll tell you some a wild stories oh will will and i had some wild adventures
01:30:23
Speaker
will will be a good show for you i trust i i promise you that yeah yeah i just see some with too i mean as of right now the the the bar is set pretty low so oh there you go always up always love yeah i think uh what what tramps was talking about uh um For me, Tom Segura put it best.
01:30:53
Speaker
Tom Segura put it best. He said, up comedy a comedian, their job is to live their life and then report on it. yeah yeah Not every comedian does that, and that's fine. I just i've found that when I first started, I was writing material.
01:31:07
Speaker
And then my buddy G fu says, hey, man, remember the story? Remember the story? starts reminding me about the dumb shit I did. Tell that story. Tell that story. And that was a game changer for me. Once I stopped writing and just started telling my tales.
01:31:23
Speaker
I used to tell everybody when I started, like, you know, um I just like say fuck you to everybody because you're laughing out my life.
01:31:34
Speaker
We all are. There you
01:31:38
Speaker
we're laughing We're laughing with you, Marco. Not at you. Or are we laughing at you? I don't know. That's a sharp cat, man. I like Jedi. Dylan Michael's bogus adventure.
01:31:49
Speaker
Jedi's the man. I love that guy. Jedi's my dude. Turn all that negative into funny. yeah
01:31:56
Speaker
Back to this one. I had a hard time talking about my dad on stage for the longest time. And then I turned some of the most negative moments... nearest death and shit into great material it kills and it's real all real and uh that's why i say i wish i was joking
01:32:16
Speaker
i i talk about my shitty mom on stage all the time i don't have shitty mom but what i do like to do is when i bring her up and people start cheering say don't cheer for her she's a racist she hates it when i say that
01:32:31
Speaker
is there's here's a story that kind of it was a Copenhagen inspired but it actually deal with Copenhagen mom we were we did a podcast and I was talking about the sex machine that was that and and this store that i was at and You know, we're talking about it and shit. And I told Mike, you you keep fucking with me. I'm going to bring this thing to your show I'm going put it on your mom's table and set it up.
01:33:02
Speaker
and go shut the fuck up. You ain't gonna do this and that. So I went to that store after the show and I went and bought the sex machine. And next day his beautiful mama is sitting there with one of her friends and I pulled this machine out while he's up on the microphone and I started setting this machine.
01:33:23
Speaker
And it was one of the big ones that like suction cups at a fucking table and it had like long dicks on head.
01:33:33
Speaker
She wants an address. ah who Yeah. did Without the suction cups down, it looks like a fucking, like one of them Arnold Schwarzenegger machine gun type deals.
01:33:45
Speaker
Bye. And this is in the middle the bar. Yeah, I know. Mom says, Mom says, that Marco can be so nice. Why is he so vulgar all the time?
01:33:57
Speaker
I hate that. Well, you're his demographic. his demographic.
01:34:06
Speaker
Apparently your mom doesn't know the things you send people at 3 o'clock in the morning, does she? She takes the pictures. Nice. It's a family affair. Yeah, my
01:34:21
Speaker
yeah my mom telling you, Blaze up here. And my mom was in the garage with him. I came out of the cage. Mom, quit harassing my friend. She says, I'm trying to get some. He's a handsome man. Blaze was like, I can't believe she said that shit.
01:34:40
Speaker
Took him by surprise.
01:34:43
Speaker
oh So is Blaze dating your mom now? Blaze on here? is as well. She's single. Yeah. bless michael my Blaze. and take yeah I love that you started doing that.
01:35:03
Speaker
That's a funny story to me. Just knowing Blaze. I would love to have seen his face on this shit happen. He's going to take your inheritance. That's all right. There's not much. He's spending all the time.
01:35:17
Speaker
Unfortunately for Blaze, when that story came about, he didn't quite know me as well as he knows me now. So I think i think he treads a little lighter when he says things.
01:35:29
Speaker
Hang him with me. Hang him with me. you got to be prepared for the unexpected. Always. Ain't that the fucking truth. You want to see a magic trick to your little kids? no for the longest time when uh mike came and picked me up i always asked him if i had to bring my gun with me every time every single time say no marco you don't need gun you sure you're with me you don't need a gun and then you see will sit in the back so you sure i don't need my gun we all gotta go on a show it's always like me michael and marco or you know me and michael going out on shows it's never like me michael and will dude
01:36:08
Speaker
I'm telling you, dude, that would be a freaking fire-ass

Handling Insults and Rivalries

01:36:10
Speaker
show, dude. I've done a lot of killer shows as well. think what Tyler's trying to say, Marco, is that you're not very funny and that you shouldn't go out on the road with him anymore. That will should go.
01:36:20
Speaker
That's not what I said. That's not what I said. That's what I heard, and pretty sure that's what the audience heard as well. so That sounds like that to me. well mar work You measure success by your own rubric, right? you measure You measure your own success.
01:36:35
Speaker
I would consider myself a success at life if I can get this kid late at a show. That's my mission. I want to get him late after a show. Who, Marco? I mean, just you. Oh, me? That would be awesome. Why don't you?
01:36:47
Speaker
You should try that out. I mean, depending upon where you are, it'll cost you like 20. Depending upon where you are, it'll cost you like 20 bucks.
01:36:59
Speaker
prices. Fuck, where are you getting them from? Paying for sex is cheap. If I wanted to pay for sex, I'd be having sex right now. but You don't pay for sex, pay for them to leave.
01:37:11
Speaker
Yeah, you're right. yes yes And now you've to pay for their gas both ways. don't know.
01:37:19
Speaker
What else do you want to know? God, myself, you know, it's just, you know, I got one. um unlike You guys, guys, what's your most insulting moment in comedy? Like that I said to some, no, no, no, no. no Like that you felt insulted by something. Somebody said to you, um,
01:37:36
Speaker
When I was out, like one thing that always stands out to me, and it wasn't so much, I felt, i took it personally, because when I host the show, you know, ah that's my show.
01:37:47
Speaker
You know, I know the comedians are on the shows or whatever, but it's ultimately my show. It's my it's my job to make sure the comedians are taken care of. It's my job to to warm up the crowd in between, sure to make sure the fucking crowd is is is quiet and and and, you know, shuts the fuck up.
01:38:06
Speaker
I said that I got one. of these yeah Yeah, I know which one you're talking about. my god I bought an elderly couple single handedly. single-handedly but i was I was at this one show in Cleveland Club 17 and it started off with this table full of Puerto Rican chicks that came in.
01:38:25
Speaker
And they were just, yeah. They just kept, there they were being loud. Now the comedian that was up, I've only met him online. He came from Missouri.
01:38:35
Speaker
He came a long way. He came pressed in the suit. You know, he was there to do his, yeah fashion you know, and these, these women were just the most degrading. At one point they screamed at him, why don't you shut the fuck up and put the music back on.
01:38:52
Speaker
all Dude, what we call in the business a shit show. Right. So, you know, he did his set. He kept his composure. He did his set. Dude, i call it when I got back on the mic, I called them three girls everything but a fucking whore.
01:39:07
Speaker
Dude, I told everybody in the crowd that the reason why their eyelashes were so long was they were cum catchers. Cum bros. If anybody you wanted a blowjob right the fuck in there, dude, I went off.
01:39:20
Speaker
Like I fucking tweaked on them. And then like later on in the night, two more come in like they ended up leaving two more come in and they're being loud in the corner speaking spanish and they didn't realize you know don't let the light skin fool you a um and i stopped the show i walked up to him and i pretty much cussed him out in spanish here was the bar owner and her sister and thought i was like i don't give a fuck who you are we're putting this show on yeah and i mean like you know there was there was uh another instance where it was just a long day and there was nothing i could do to control the whole situation mike like mike said you know uh he was just the situation i was ready to fight with my fists an elderly couple yeah ah they just you know i was uh and this was a benefit for a uh fallen a wounded police officer yeah
01:40:15
Speaker
um i was there all day out in the piglet outfit again you know it was bad luck and i was there for over 14 hours and our show took place at the night mike was closing it out and just this this old couple in the back and i just they were right up front dude i i the back was the cop they were right up front yeah yeah i went on after andrew oh And there was just nothing that everything I tried and polite and everything and didn't even fucking get him to fucking leave.
01:40:49
Speaker
Mike just totally tweaked on him. He fucking snapped on him. It was just You know, it was the book bad all the way around. Why would you come to a comedy show?
01:41:00
Speaker
I mean, I understand everybody gets a buzz. Everybody wants to you know, have fun or whatever. but Why are you going to come to a comedy show and fuck up something that somebody's doing for you? You know, because some people have a decency.
01:41:12
Speaker
But here's the thing about that. I consider a win. but When I did that shit. the wounded cop was there laughing his ass off. That was his favorite part of the show.
01:41:25
Speaker
Nice. What a first technician. I'm just getting his badge again.
01:41:31
Speaker
ah Well, they're both dead now, so. hu But I was wanting like somebody said something to you that made you feel insulted about comedy. over now Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got two stories for both.
01:41:44
Speaker
This will be good. I got ah kind a good friend of all of ours. um you know no matter what we used to be pretty tight you know he's still a friend of mine but i just had to back away from him for for a while um he just no matter what i try to help him with no matter what i try to you know guide him through when he asked me for advice he always took it um the opposite direction or whatever that's my answer if you don't need it Yeah, ah but the one thing like, you know, he was putting on the show, it was pretty much in my territory.
01:42:19
Speaker
um It was supposed to be my guys' show and he was supposed to be helping out. And pretty much he didn't even but put me on the show or let me know that it was going on. And when I asked him about it, he pretty much...
01:42:33
Speaker
He pretty much told me that he was better than me, that I wasn't good enough to be on this show. And it's been over, you know, it's been over like two years that he's been on a mic.
01:42:43
Speaker
<unk> I've been the one hitting mics, you know, damn three, four times a week. I do clean sets. I do dirty sets. I do, you know, whatever. You know, cater to my right there.
01:42:54
Speaker
We did the cancer benefit together. number one rule clean clean comedy i did i did 45 minutes 15 minutes was no good out of the hour this is his first line when he gets up there look at these people in the back eating a bunch of hot dogs practicing sucking dick the first thing he said that's the true story there was more to it and there was a reason why those people were heckling and being loud and that was the whole yeah yeah and i said hot dogs and just uh uh three people for people three people got up and ran toward them no no no ready to tackle them take the mic away first thing he says a clean shell i can be clean it was it was supposed to be everybody had to do an hour clean set i did 45 i did 50 minutes clean because that wasn't even 10 minutes of telling them people to suck a dick
01:43:45
Speaker
But they were mean. It was the first thing you said. Yeah, but they were being fucking rude to everybody else. They were actually. They shut them the fuck up, though, didn't they? Yeah, I'll tell you right now. I don't handle Hevers well either at all.
01:43:58
Speaker
And the bad thing was, and Will loves to point this out when he tells the story. two cancer kids that were fucking weird we're yeah a so yeah and we got a story yeah they were probably sitting like so i could i could do fifty minutes ah clean material you know we hit the fifty one four like go bond with that I can be clean. I mean, three people mar charged him. What are you doing?
01:44:34
Speaker
It was so funny. know but I think the most insulting I've ever been on the whole comedy thing was, you know, you ain't even... Yeah, you're pretty much saying you're you're better than me.
01:44:47
Speaker
Okay. It does that to a lot of people. I mean... For me, most insulting. All right. ah There's a guy. i won't call him out by name, but it rhymes with Chris Harvey.
01:45:00
Speaker
Chris Harvey. I will name this name. Fuck that cunt. He thinks he's hot shit in the acro at the time. And I'm doing an opening. get his spot for the first time.
01:45:12
Speaker
I've only ever done clean comedy at this point for that competition. Fennie Sandwich Community in Ohio. You have to be clean. So for the first time at the new mic, i heard this guy, friends on Facebook, never met him before.
01:45:23
Speaker
Chris Harvey, Chris Harvey. I go up to him and say, how you doing? Nice to meet you, blah, blah, blah. What's the rules for your room? What are you talking about? Like, I only done, you know, funny funny funny stuff.
01:45:35
Speaker
Do have to be clean or what? Just say whatever you want. Whatever you want. And I got giddy with excitement. Woohoo, say whatever I want. Just like that. And he said, and I'm quoting here,
01:45:48
Speaker
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't say the N word.
01:45:54
Speaker
Talk about an insult. He doesn't even know me. Apparently this face says white power comedy hour to this fucking idiot. And i mean mean I just met him for the very first time. I laid in him. I'm whatever, dude. Just eat your fucking wings.
01:46:07
Speaker
Three platters. Platters of wings. This guy I won't name, Chris Harvey. Fat as fuck. Eats three platters of wings. In one sitting. Platters. Not plates.
01:46:18
Speaker
Platters. And I just laid in on him. Eat your fucking wings, your fat piece of shit. is it so saving to the mic And did my whole fucking set was, fuck you, Chris Harvey. That's what I won't name.
01:46:30
Speaker
And that was some of the most fun I had. He tried to roast me back, failed miserably. That's when I knew I'm doing God's work.
01:46:40
Speaker
So that was my biggest insult. White Power Comedy Hour. That really pissed off. To this day, it fires me up just thinking about that. Fuck What was his name? All I did was get in Guide with excitement. Just finally be able to swear and shit. Be me, you know?
01:46:51
Speaker
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't say the end. No mention of it. Ridiculous. Man, that pissed me off. and Insult. Eat your fucking wings, Chris Harvey.
01:47:02
Speaker
You're right. it Suck wings, Chris Harvey. Who we will not name. Fat fuck. it over I hope he says this. Fuck you, Chris Harvey. Want to fight? I'm going to fight you, Chris Harvey. Fuck you, fat fuck.
01:47:15
Speaker
Who we will not name, Chris Harvey. I won three platters of wings. that's all right That's true. i'm not No exaggeration. Platters. I'm going to have 70 wings in front of them.
01:47:27
Speaker
And they were all gone before that mic started. by the way You couldn't eat them all. and So I don't handle heckers well at all. It is December 23rd, 2021.
01:47:40
Speaker
two thousand and twenty one December 23rd, 2021. And we're doing a show at a Cleveland bar. And the dude who's running the show, like the producer of that show, is sitting next to this blonde lady.
01:47:53
Speaker
And through everybody's sets, but she's running in her mouth loud to the producer. She's not trying to be quiet. It's fucking everybody sets up. She was being super fucking disrespectful and rude.
01:48:06
Speaker
And I looked at my buddy Spike and I'll say, hey man, when I get up there, she's done. I'm ending that shit. he goes, going to do? was like, just watch. True story.
01:48:18
Speaker
I get up. It's December 2020, yeah, 2021. twenty twenty yeah twenty twenty months And I'm doing about three minutes in. She's paying attention. She's having fun. And then suddenly she's turning to the dude. I said, excuse me, ma'am, ma'am.
01:48:32
Speaker
Do you have children? Yeah, I have children. I don't care about them. I just want you to know. I hope you die on Christmas morning while they're opening their presents. Oh, shit.
01:48:44
Speaker
Yeah. I wish you were there were that day to tell me don't say that. I do not do hecklers well, man. I go from zero to fucking nuclear option. There was a nice table. It was all true. It was a nice table of office workers, all ladies having their Christmas party there.
01:49:00
Speaker
You could hear a pin drop. they Every mouth was open. Even the dude I'm with, who knows me well, was shocked. He said, I cannot believe you did that. Worked, didn't it? She didn't say another word the rest of the night.
01:49:15
Speaker
There you go. yeah that's goodnna that's good I hope she did die on Christmas morning. Fuck that bitch. Yeah, there's kind of a... yeah it ah And that was the last time I ever did a show for that particular producer.
01:49:27
Speaker
You're the producer, man. You shut that down. That's bullshit. yeah That's what made me the most mad. Him. But still, shooting one of the sharp. I hate shit. I think it's safe to say Tyler's most most insulted moment was when he got his ass kicked by another comedian.
01:49:43
Speaker
Yeah. ah that that And there was this one show, dude. There was a baby in the audience and he just kept heckling me kept heckling me i finally got so ticked off i hold off and punch that baby right in the face dude i'm like you will not cry during my freaking no i'm just kidding the worst one was probably really i thought you were no no yeah the the the worst one was probably me getting uh beaten up outside of a outside of a open mic but uh undeservedly by cunts
01:50:17
Speaker
Yeah, but I think one of the worst things somebody could have said to me other than that was i was at a I was at an open mic and this dude is behind me is talking shit, saying I'm a trash comic. I'm a nobody, bubble blah, blah, blah.
01:50:34
Speaker
And like the next week he starts going ahead and taking my jokes and doing my fricking setups and fucking screwing up all my jokes. And posted on Facebook. Like I don't dox people, but I'm not keep my mouth shut.
01:50:50
Speaker
So I went ahead and posted up on Facebook. I was like, you can either go talk shit on me or steal my jokes. You either

Advice for Aspiring Comedians

01:50:57
Speaker
like me or you don't. Which one is it? You know what I mean? Yeah, that's hilarious. That's hilarious.
01:51:03
Speaker
Because um there's a lot of joke. but yeah This one I won't name. Seemed like a great guy. Nice. I've got really good information from a solid source.
01:51:14
Speaker
When this dude travels out of state or out of town, he's doing everybody's best hits.
01:51:21
Speaker
How did you know? I didn't think you guys knew that about me. ah That's hilarious you said that, though, about somebody telling him how unfunny he is to everybody else and trying to use material.
01:51:32
Speaker
That same thing happened to me. It's hard to steal my material. The true story, mostly true story. He doesn't like him. He doesn't like him. He's jealous of him. And he's trying to run him down to everyone else because he's a threat to him.
01:51:45
Speaker
And that's the thing. I know that Chigga did that to me. i know the feeling and perform with them out in Detroit there's other podcast hosts that are jealous and they like to talk shit so I've been there blow on time let him tell us heck this story he didn't get a heck of story oh tell your heck was story who me yeah oh I mean i the only like we're worse I don't really get hecklers ah my my main focus has always been don't give them an opportunity to be a heckle
01:52:18
Speaker
i I tell jokes. I tell them mostly about myself. If anybody is angry, like getting made fun of, it's me, you know, so it's not like I'm directing anything outward. So normally don't have many hecklers.
01:52:33
Speaker
You know, there's people that think that they're trying to help out by saying something with your joke, which isn't the same as a heckler. That's just someone having a good time. And the thing is, exactly No, it it depends. good host shuts that down to begin with the show.
01:52:48
Speaker
No one's going to listen to any of you. you You do go ahead and tone it down and, you know, you put it to the side and you let it cool off. But like sometimes if you go ahead and like rip that person apart, like they were having a real good freaking time and you just ruin the show for them as well.
01:53:06
Speaker
You know, so you got to ahead and put those people down easy, you know, and stuff like that. Yeah. But other than that, like, i don't really have many hecklers. But one of the worst things anybody ever said to me was when I was a DJ, though.
01:53:20
Speaker
i was mixing tunes. And this dude's like, what type of music do you mix? And i was like, oh, I mix, like, basic, you know, EDM and stuff like that. Stuff I pull off of Pandora.
01:53:34
Speaker
And he's like, oh, so you're a top 40 DJ. That means, like, you play what everybody likes. I'm like, and does that mean you play what people don't like? Right. here know like That's the dumbest theory I've ever heard.
01:53:47
Speaker
Looks like we lost the boy. We lost the host. Are the kids free? He'll be back. He'll probably have to reset. Snotty, were you there in PA down at Patsy's where the chick heckled everybody? I can't remember if I was next to me.
01:54:04
Speaker
It was one of Huff's shows. um shall not be and there was a a chick she was supposed to be there with her girlfriend to sing and she got hammered and she like even i think she even heckled uh patrick madison off the stage like he was totally stuck dude i told that chick to fucking take her fucking a welfare card and get the goddamn hell out the bar like i just kept snapping on her and like she doesn that bad yeah bad like her friend who came here to sing was in tears because she was embarrassing yeah it was it was ridiculous that place got rough dude like all of a sudden freaking uh i i started seeing outlaw bikers in there and you know that they started walking back to the bathroom and stuff and then like all of a sudden that whole entire freaking show got closed down we haven't been back there since the bikers started rolling that place
01:55:03
Speaker
Wow. I had fun Patsy's. yeah I love Patsy's. We don't do Patsy's anymore. Yeah, it was a fun place.
01:55:12
Speaker
I had a super, super drunk veteran on a November 11th show, Veterans Day. And i yeah I went ballistic on it.
01:55:25
Speaker
I was screaming at a veteran on Veterans Day.
01:55:33
Speaker
i didn't feel bad about it i didn't feel bad about it and another reason i did like so the guy who owns the bar it's next to him and not saying something you know he's just incoherent babbling like uh no not having your word pat patrick madison billy madison Right? Talking gibberish. Yeah. but yeah yeah mother yeah And he was just mumbling at everybody.
01:56:03
Speaker
So, yeah. I said, hey, man, thanks for your service. Now do everybody here a service. Get the fuck out of here, you dumb mumbling ass. You're making a fool of yourself. And let it go with that. This dude wandered off and slow baked that thing I just said for about 10 minutes.
01:56:19
Speaker
Shit you not. Wanders back into the showroom and goes, you're making a fool yourself. You move, boy. Minutes and minutes and minutes later. I'm not even exaggerating.
01:56:30
Speaker
mean, way to... Yeah, but... Good comeback. Thank you all night to think that went up, He might have taken it. and a fucking back. No, no. He was shithouse drunk. He was shithouse drunk because it was veterans saying he was getting free drinks everywhere he went. He was in the VFW uniform.
01:56:44
Speaker
But Mike's not telling you. VFW. Very fucking wasted. He was missing a leg. He had four Purple Hearts. Fucking part of the back of his head was missing. and He still wears his fucking helmet just to cover it like like ah Joe Dirt.
01:56:59
Speaker
Got a soft spot on the peach.
01:57:03
Speaker
yeah that me yeah I mean, just because i and this might and I don't mean this to be a dick, but just because you're a veteran in his veterans day does not give you the right to be a cock.
01:57:15
Speaker
Again, he was just hammered drunk. He was super hammered drunk. He was blacked out. I'm 100 percent sure he was blacked out. The fact that he still had drinks in his hand was amazing. Who's serving this guy?
01:57:26
Speaker
Is he driving? or you Uncle sam yeah ah Uncle Sam? He so he deserves to be served. to be served. Stop screaming.
01:57:37
Speaker
Look, the patients are getting ready for bedtime. I've done that. You already texted once. Mark is so fucking loud. Shut the fuck up. Not Blaze. No.
01:57:49
Speaker
and two No, I'm talking about Blaze. He said, I've done that. Oh, oh, yes, yeah. yeah It's not Blaze.
01:58:00
Speaker
Never. So before we get out of here, guys, I want to ask you guys, and and we have a couple of people and I want to and I want to preface this. Everybody thinks they can get up on stage and do what you guys can do. I know.
01:58:16
Speaker
Until they get up on stage and and try to do it. I mean, you know, people who don't do what other people do, they think that they can do it at the end of the day. whether it be music, comedy, podcasting, whatever.
01:58:26
Speaker
But you guys, especially as comedians, everybody's man, I can do what you do. Watch. I'll get up there and tell a dick joke. It's not that easy. ah but But now we have a couple people here on the network, Blaze and Brittany. It's no big secret.
01:58:41
Speaker
They're starting to slowly dabble into the world of comedy, stand-up maybe. What advice would you guys give somebody who's thinking about going into stand-up comedy?
01:58:53
Speaker
I'll go last.

Career Insights and Authenticity

01:58:54
Speaker
Marco, you're newist. Marco, you go first. yeah oh I would say just no yeah a lot of people tell you to be yourself and do what you want to do, but you also got to know your crowd.
01:59:08
Speaker
That's what a more seasoned comedian or entertainer will learn. You beat your room. You beat your people around. You can't always... um I'm an exception to the rule.
01:59:19
Speaker
You know, I'm one of them that, yeah, I could do that. And Mike challenged me on it and just I run on piss and vinegar and, you know, not many people. I thought anybody could do it. I've watched plenty of of solid people.
01:59:35
Speaker
try to get on stage and fail. And it took me a long time to realize, no, not everybody can do that shit. It's just, you know, i I got, I lucked out and it's just a hobby for me that, but, you know, just pay attention what's going on, pay attention to what people like and don't like.
01:59:55
Speaker
And remember just because one crowd, like, you know, you're set this week at one particular place don't mean that it's set for another place.
02:00:05
Speaker
That's the thing. No two shows are exactly like that. Right, right. follow me Tyler? Tyler, the advice I could give you as ah as a comedian, Tyler, go to a boxing class, take some jiu-jitsu, take some Muay Thai, just a random woman. so not that guy.
02:00:27
Speaker
I am so not that guy. Like, you come stand up to me and I'm just I'm all right, dude. I don't know what you got going on in your life, but I so do not need it. I don't deserve that energy. You're giving me way more power than I deserve.
02:00:43
Speaker
Like, pull yourself off, you know. But I i am going to go ahead and give you some serious advice. i'm on First things first, you got to it. You're going to talk about doing it.
02:00:58
Speaker
And the more you talk about doing it, the more you're not doing it. You have the ability to do it. There is an open mic around you. Go ahead. Check on Facebook. find Google.
02:01:10
Speaker
Google, you know, ah local open mics. You'll find them. They will come to you. You start out there. um How to write your jokes. I would say you write 10 jokes a day.
02:01:23
Speaker
Whether they're good or not, it does not matter. you're gonna have to have material to go ahead and cut down go ahead and see what works you're gonna have to develop a voice you may not get a voice for five years it may take you 10 years to even go ahead and get a spot to paste it takes time it's not something that you just get up on stage and it starts working uh if it doesn't work and you get down You know, you have to go ahead and work harder.
02:01:50
Speaker
there There is no easy road to being in a comic. I know people are going to go ahead and tell you to start making reels. Well, you have to have stuff on reels for it to work for you to get shit. um It's not impossible. The only difference between a comic and someone who's funny at the...
02:02:07
Speaker
watering hole ah is the comic says something funny writes it down says it again you work your craft you continuously work on it ah have conversations with comics starting out you're probably going to be friend requesting anybody who has a microphone in their profile picture I've heard several everywhere it's it is a networking experience uh there are going to be assholeless like there will be assholes i guarantee it especially they'll come at you with a smile they will come at you with a smile they'll be friends to you at first but once you go ahead and get above them dude it's on and it's all out and you know what you can take it to heart it can be a heartache that
02:02:56
Speaker
You know, you let them win, but you can't. You have to keep getting up there. If you love doing it, you're going to do it. Not to go ahead and be great, famous millionaire. You're going do it because you love fucking doing it.
02:03:07
Speaker
Two, you're nervous. right. This is just two on my phone. Obviously, I can't count. I'm autistic. Sorry. um No, it a dumb. dumb but but the thing is is you're on to be nervous nerves are a part of it nobody can see that you're nervous you're the only one that knows that you're nervous you got a flop sweat whatever there's lights everywhere obviously you're sweating it's 100 degrees up there you know don't worry about it all right The nerves, you're going to feel them.
02:03:39
Speaker
right And I want you to feel them because that's going to become energy while you're on stage. It's going energize you. It's going to make you push something out into the crowd. The crowd's going to push it back. Those nerves are going to go ahead and buzz even higher.
02:03:55
Speaker
Push that energy back. And you just go back and forth with the audience. And eventually, the nerves you feel when you're getting on stage is the reason you continue to get on stage.
02:04:07
Speaker
That's how you become a comic. I just want to point out when I say don't talk about it, be about it, I'm an asshole. But when Tyler says it or Tarantula says it in the chat, oh, yeah, that's exactly right.
02:04:18
Speaker
Fuck all of you guys. Yeah, I tweet my nipples the whole time. He's making sense. yeah I've been saying it for years, and I'm a bad friend. Tyler says it, and it's like, oh, yeah, you're right. I got the phrase to make you a bad friend. It's a fact that you're a bad friend.
02:04:35
Speaker
well the thing is is is you're their friend and you know them how they are so they're going to go ahead and say you know he doesn't know what he's talking about he's known me this whole time they they see themselves as where they're at with you just as much as anybody else would So like they just need to get on stage, man.
02:04:58
Speaker
um and And you can do it. Prepare yourself. And I'm telling you, the first one is not going to go great. all right You may think it went fantastic. I know people who get on stage for the first time and they walk off and they're like, i murdered it.
02:05:13
Speaker
I'm the best person alive. And it's like, if you record that and then you watch it back five years later, you're going to be so embarrassed with the material you do even today i go ahead and watch back my first time was a bomb so you just have to keep growing that's all it is you have to start you have to go after it and that's what she said handle it yeah rub it this way stop and and then some of these spit on that thing you know hawk to it no no no no no no no and anybody spits on my shit i smack the out of the hell's wrong with you i love the energy i love the energy but there are people that are trying to sleep there are people that have jobs in this house i have a sick house i'm the only healthy one here and i'm dying his old lady's trying to sleep his mom's trying to rub one off and i'm over here being loud
02:06:10
Speaker
Yeah, your voice is a turn off.
02:06:14
Speaker
Michael, sir.
02:06:20
Speaker
First off, whenever someone says, hey, I'm thinking about getting into comedy, I will say this every time. ah I'm not trying to dissuade you. Understand this one thing fundamentally.
02:06:33
Speaker
Getting in front of a crowd of people you don't know is way different than being funny at a party with your friends or at work buddies. You don't know them, they know you. Your stories are hilarious to you guys because you know the people in them. Think of that.
02:06:47
Speaker
Preparing a stage act is very different than being funny at a party or in a crowd. It's a whole different animal. Facts.
02:06:54
Speaker
Listen to all the advice anyone's willing to give Listen to all of it. Keep what works for you, throw out the rest. If someone's willing to talk to you and try to help you, let them. If it doesn't help you, ignore it.
02:07:06
Speaker
You've got to know your voice. You've got to know who you are. Have self-awareness. One thing that cracks me up, right? I can't remember the kid's name. It was like his third time on stage. I'd never seen him do well.
02:07:17
Speaker
The first two or three times or whatever, maybe four. And he's like, man, you weren't there that night. I killed. I killed. No, we I wasn't there. And I know for a fact you didn't kill. Killing is when the whole room is a burst of energy of the hilarity and laughter.
02:07:33
Speaker
And you know when it kills, I kill. Everyone's, ha, ha, ha. It's just that energy is undeniable. And you can't miss it. Self-awareness is key.
02:07:45
Speaker
You don't have to write jokes. There's many, many ways to skin the comedy cat. Do what feels right to you. And if you have to take it, if you feel you need to take a class, don't bother. You're wasting your money. You'll never make it.
02:07:57
Speaker
You either have it or you don't. Follow your heart. Follow your dream. Don't give up. One bad set doesn't mean anything. One bad joke doesn't mean anything. Rearrange the material somehow.
02:08:08
Speaker
Like Tyler was saying, like it took me probably two and a half years from start to have a full, complete, well done, worked hour.
02:08:20
Speaker
But that hour still got tailored more over the next two years. My hour is ready. I want to record it. ah Anybody out there that has a venue like a theater, I really want to song i want to record my food.
02:08:32
Speaker
It's ready. Be undeniably funny. Just be funny. If you can't be funny, you don't belong there. Show the crowd. Show the crowd you're on your home turf.
02:08:44
Speaker
If you're nervous up there, a crowd senses it. And they'll eat you alive for it. If you don't look like you belong there, they're not going to want to listen to you.
02:08:53
Speaker
I mean, there's so much advice. I could go on for hours. Don't trust anybody to know them. I'll say that right now. Don't run premises by people because they'll do but doing it for the next week or two.
02:09:06
Speaker
oh for me
02:09:13
Speaker
um on Online like ah video comedy is very different stage comedy. There's a lot of different comedy muscles you can flex. I love doing sketch work too. In fact, the first time the three of us met in met in person, it was to shoot sketches.
02:09:29
Speaker
If I'm 100% honest, we've had this conversation. All the times we were online together, i thought for sure I was gonna hate you. yeah yeah We had a great time in person the first time. he like He likes to talk to them politicians, you know, like, I don't like it either.
02:09:44
Speaker
It makes me crazy. That's why I'm usually a lot louder and lot, but my podcasts are mostly politics and religion. It's mostly five to seven people all shouting over each other. It's utter chaos. Are you on the Lazy Shaman show?
02:10:03
Speaker
Nope, it's What the Fuck Wednesday. It's tomorrow night, 9 o'clock. But yeah, just don't give up on it. If you love it, keep doing it. You measure your success by your own heart.
02:10:15
Speaker
Don't let anyone else to tell you what it is to be successful. um i'm never real I've never been more broke in my life, but I've never been happier either. And don't let anybody tell you how to jock your own dick.
02:10:29
Speaker
ah You got some cock and some balls. You might as well play with them. Yeah, but I mean, I've met a lot of people. He's cock and balls. Come on, honey. Like, for instance, just recently, I was in a comedy competition, and I got third place, and I opened.
02:10:44
Speaker
So. Not only I heard about that, oh but another another buddy of mine was there, and he didn't do so well. So the the judges said, you know, come up to me or come up afterward to get critiqued or whatever.
02:10:58
Speaker
And he took everything they said, wait you know, you take, always take the advice. Like Mike said, if someone's willing to give you a little bit of input or whatever, but you can't totally ah rearrange your whole shit, your whole life, your whole everything, because somebody didn't get a joke or somebody thinks this shouldn't have been said or that should have been said a different way.
02:11:22
Speaker
My problem on that show was I went ahead and tried to fit 30 minutes into five minutes, which is always my problem.
02:11:31
Speaker
Yes, now he was there. Timing is everything. yeah There's so much that goes into a successful set. I mean, it's difficult to explain. Just ah feel it out. Don't be the next somebody else. Don't ever be the next somebody else. Be the first you. Be true to yourself.
02:11:47
Speaker
Be original. Just have fun, dude. Have fun. And respectful and be humble. and I talk a lot of shit because Glick. I'm trying to out shit talk him. What the fuck is the point of being humble for?
02:11:59
Speaker
and don't get these championships by being humble, baby. i know I'm very good at what I do, but I don't big dick anybody to show. I

Podcast Evolution and Networking

Speaker

02:13:53
Speaker
yeah one my favorite jokes of michael copenhayvers is whenever he's talking about going to hotels and he's that's new that's new that's one of my favorite rules <unk> um what their policy on hookers is because when we're on when we're out of town i like to get down and then i get it put it in the keys or something when you go to bed at night put a shot collar on him or something so he can't wander too far A dick cage like in that one show we saw. Cock armor.
02:14:28
Speaker
Cock armor. ah had ah had I had two. was him. We found our carpet. I had a metal one and a silicone one. those are not built for Those are built for very small people.
02:14:42
Speaker
You've seen the show, Strangelo. yeah You know, it's kind of fair game. Don't be racist. That's all he has. I never thought I'd have to say this. I never thought I'd have to say this. When I produce shows, and this is also advice, any white comedian, I have to say this because because reasons.
02:15:01
Speaker
Please, don't say the N-word and don't deny the Holocaust. Oh, my God. can't believe I had to say that. Oh, my God. yeah Yeah, how will I ever forget?

Speaker

That was fucking great. miss him, dude. Yeah, he was fun. He was fun.
02:15:35
Speaker
Oh, God. What do you think? Like the look the look on your face, like he had a priceless look, but the look on your face when he said it. It was like this, right?
02:15:46
Speaker
I work with comedians I know and like and feel I can trust. And yeah, total betrayal. Total betrayal. But he's got hilarious material. I love his delivery and everything. He is so funny to me.
02:16:01
Speaker
I don't think that's funny. I haven't seen him in ever. oh I love that dude. Just the look. the He stopped everything. like It was internet. Classic record scratch.
02:16:14
Speaker
It was like the girl with the big ass hit the DJ booth. Yeah. Yeah, we'll we'll throw that on so you can do it for Big Dream. And that's a great story. 100% true. No exaggeration whatsoever.
02:16:27
Speaker
Classic. Again, you never know what you're going to get. You never know. Saturday night here on the Nonsensical Network, you never know what you're going to get on Saturday nights. You never know what the fuck is going to happen. Marco Torres, you never know what you're going get. ah Yep.
02:16:45
Speaker
No, I do want to say... That's all that matters. Yes. We're not going there. let's I mean, at the end of the day, that's all that really matters, man. Having a good time. Nobody's getting hurt. Everybody's having a laugh.
02:17:04
Speaker
Sure, you're going to offend some people. That's comedy at the end of the day. You can go back how many centuries... That was like a comedy nuclear bomb. Yeah. good However long comedy's been around, you know.
02:17:18
Speaker
oh hi. What the fuck? I'm hosting. Beat it. Yeah. and You know, they are there's offensive material out there. It happens. And stop being pussies. They're jokes. They're meant to make you laugh.
02:17:32
Speaker
Enjoy the show. If you go to a Michael Copenhaver show, make sure you talk really loud the entire time and heckle him constantly. At your peril. Yes. See, there's different goals for different comedians.
02:17:45
Speaker
From day one, I did not want to be divisive. I didn't want to be insulting. um i want as many people as possible in that crowd to have a good time. Because I'm old when I started.
02:17:56
Speaker
I'm old as shit. I got to make it quick if I'm going make it. I can't afford to divide audiences as shit. Because I do want to. it's not for the fame. I just want to be as many people as possible.
02:18:09
Speaker
Like my goal is to just enhance the joy of others, not diminish it. If I can make some money doing it, but I'm living my best life, my dream. like hey I'm trying to be famous and rich and be a billionaire. i'm I'm trying to do it all, man. Be like the next Kevin Hart, dude. I'm going to be a superstar. Well, all you got to do is be friends with P. Diddy. Yeah. yeah yeah so I'm already retired. I do this as a fucking hobby.
02:18:39
Speaker
And, you know, it is what it is. Like I said, I'm kind of the oddball out in the whole situation. Because, again, you try to make yourself happiest.
02:18:50
Speaker
And, yeah, it's just. He makes it weird on purpose for his own enjoyment. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, i I've chased buddies around stores with women's panties.
02:19:03
Speaker
Oh, shit. but Man down.
02:19:07
Speaker
I shocked the apple. It's you. It's your big floppy fucking slippers. It's got gigantic green slippers that keep catching the gourd. Sorry. It's like marshmallows at the end of your fucking legs.
02:19:19
Speaker
yeah I mean, at the end of the day, as long as you're doing what you enjoy, I mean, that's like me here. i love doing this podcast and stuff. Nice. You know, ah you know I'm not making any money off of it right now. One day, yeah, I want to make money and tell Joe Rogan he can eat my asshole because I'm better than him.

Goals of Entertainment and Friendship

02:19:36
Speaker
I already know I'm better than him. but If money's the goal, you're doing it for the wrong reason.
02:19:40
Speaker
I just got to make the Joe Rogan money. But in the meantime, I'm going to have fun doing what we're doing. ah self fulfill out i opinion is Self-fulfillment should be the goal. money Money can't buy you happiness. But you can grow it.
02:19:53
Speaker
that That's a broke person talking. That's a broke bitch. That's broke bitch mentality. No, no. i yeah if you're doing what you if If you're doing what you love to do and you're having fun, man, at the end of the day, who cares how much money you make or don't make from it? Like I said, we've been doing I've been doing this shit for fucking... When you buy your first Mustang...
