Introduction and Guest Bio
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey, you guys. We have someone super exciting hanging out on the sidelines with us today, Tony Deo, a stan- Eight off the Met and go. Welcome to on a water break. The podcast where we talk everything, marching arts. Everyone bring it in. It's time of season two of Honor Water Break. The podcast will re-talk everything you and your friends are I'm Jackie Brown. Hey guys, we have someone super exciting hanging out on the sidelines with us today, Tony Deo, a stand-up comedian who's renowned for his sharp, quick material.
00:00:41
Speaker
and near perfect comedic timing, likely honed from his years as a professional symphony musician and marching band drill writer. New York City's Village Voice calls him one of the tightest joke writers in the business. Hi, Tony. Hello. I love when my bio is read back to me. That's always great.
00:01:07
Speaker
I wonder what well I have more because i'm I've been so get more excited to to meet you. Woody is here on the sideline with me too. And I'm just, ah like I said, I've been excited to meet you. We've been talking about. I'm And you released an album, a comedy road trip, which topped the Billboard comedy chart and debuted as the number one selling standup album on iTunes. And you recently were featured on Jeff Fox for these podcasts, a comic mind.
00:01:57
Speaker
And i you were named one of the year's best by the New York Post and you are a regular on SiriusXM. Like seriously, this is so so exciting. Like I said, I've been so excited to meet you because you have this amazing resume. I'm like excited do to find out some ins and out ah the ins and outs of the ah the activity. and And I think it's great that finally people in our activity can learn to convert what we laugh at all the time, do regular street people stuff. Because we got some funny stuff going on. We always laugh, right? But it's our own personal world to take it and convert it. I'm interested to see what ah Tony's got going on. All right. Make a joke, Tony. Such a hate when they do that. Well, I got basically your career
00:02:56
Speaker
make the joke to I've got basically your career as a comedian covered here. Let's go ahead and do your 32
Tony’s Life Journey in Music and Comedy
00:03:04
Speaker
count life story. so if you um We're going to give you eight counts on a metronome and i basically just tell us everything that happened from the day you were born until you you know became a successful comedian. Okay, I can do that. I do want to say, I feel like there should be a dividing line where at a certain age, we get more than 32 counts. Because you get these people in at 25 years old, they've done three things in their life. I got a long list. I've been around a while. But I'll do it. I can get it done at 32 counts. I feel that. So we're very many are here. Thank you.
00:03:48
Speaker
yeah yeah Who's got the Dr. B?
00:03:53
Speaker
All right, there we go. Six, seven, eight. All right, so I was born in Utah. I moved to Louisiana when I was one year old, and I moved to Virginia when I was six years old. So I was in first grade in Virginia. I grew up ah in Southwest Virginia. I graduated from high school there. I went to James Madison University. I got a music ed degree. I marched with Cadets of Bergen County in 1993. i started writing drill for some high schools in 94. I got a percussion performance degree from University of Nevada in Las Vegas. I taught Phantom Regiment in 1998. I started teaching middle school and high school outside of Corpus Christi, Texas i in 98 as well. ah For two years I taught middle school in Austin, Texas for a year. I started doing stand-up comedy
00:04:45
Speaker
ah In Austin, Texas, I retired from public school teaching ah to pursue comedy. I moved to North Carolina, i lived there for about six years. I moved to New York City. I made my first TV appearance on Conan in 2013. My son was born two weeks later. I made my second TV appearance on The Late Late Show in 2014. And I've spent the last 10 years trying to juggle being a comedian and a dad. and a drill designer ah to moderate success. There we go. Did I make it in 32 counts?
00:05:20
Speaker
um was that was you get You get the extra, you get the extra counts for age, it's fine. Fantastic. I knew I was going to have to argue for a few extra measures. So that's awesome that you were a band director first, so you really have covered all of the aspects. You performed, you did drum corps, you were a band director, and you and you also did it in multiple different parts of the country. Yeah, I moved to, well, I went to school in Virginia ah just because I knew the marching band there at JMU and I wanted to be in that marching band.
00:05:56
Speaker
And then I went to Vegas to, I wanted to study with a Marimba professor there, Dean Groenemeier. And then I moved to Texas because I knew Texas school music programs were so well supported. And I taught at, ah Um, a very tiny school, there's like a hundred kids in the band program. We had three full-time band directors. I was just the drum guy. And there was a brass guy, and there was a woodwind guy. And it was unbelievable. It was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my life. And, uh, it was.
00:06:29
Speaker
such a perfect model for how arts should be supported in public school education. And it was the same thing was true when I went to Austin. I taught at just a middle school. Again, there were three full-time band directors, at brass, percussion, and woodwind. And then we had ah probably eight different private teachers that were in and out all day long, just pulling kids out of band. And so we had unbelievably good music programs there. and uh i felt very blessed to be able to uh teach there in texas when i did so now that i know what my life would have been like because tony i'm listening to you and i'm thinking that's exactly what i wanted to do like that yeah
00:07:12
Speaker
Yeah, it was ah it yeah it was ah it was kind of the perfect teaching experience down there because um when I left teaching, I moved to North Carolina and I talked to some band directors and I talked to one band director. His budget for the year was $500. And when I was in Texas, I could spend that without asking. like I just had to bring a receipt back. I'm like, that's your year? I don't know what you do with 500. You can't bang a dent out of a tuba for $500. Yeah, for $500, right?
Teaching Experiences and Challenges
00:07:50
Speaker
Yeah, just give me zero. ah Don't pretend like you're giving me money at that point.
00:07:56
Speaker
So how do you feel like that background as a marching arts musician has influenced your transition into stand-up comedy? Well, I always tell people that I have ah i have good comic timing ah because of my music background. And that's mostly ah so I can sleep at night knowing the thousands and thousands of dollars I spent on college are 100% wasted. Do you feel like
00:08:28
Speaker
you have more material to use than the average person because of? um yeah ah Yeah, in a way. i i yeah i feel like that I feel like I have more but material because I lived quite a bit of life before I started comedy. I was i started fairly late as far as comedians go. I didn't start until I was 28 years old. um So, you know, I had a regular life and a job and I was married and, you know, ah some comics I know they start when they're 18 or 19 and that's that's the only thing they pursue. So after a while you
00:09:07
Speaker
you know You forget how regular people live. You talk you know that you can't relate to a regular person. but i you know i I lived a regular life and had a regular job. and um so and I feel like that was helpful to me. Again, Tony, thank you for living my life. i I've mapped it out for you. get You still got time. Yeah, I started my i started my comedy stuff
Transition to Stand-Up Comedy
00:09:35
Speaker
probably in 2010. 2010. All right. Yeah. Yeah. And one day I just finally decided I'm going for it. And i i yeah I took a class ah at the at the University about the writing stuff and I just took off from there. Yeah. Yeah.
00:09:55
Speaker
Yeah, i did the same I did the same thing, partly because you know I had a regular job and a regular life. I had loved stand-up for so long, um but i was I was worried. I was going to regret not trying it. So that was the thing, the catalyst that really pushed me into doing stand-up is I didn't want to look back and say, Man, i I've loved stand-up for so long and I never even tried it. um So i was I knew the odds were unbelievably ah long odds to succeed in comedy.
00:10:29
Speaker
But, and I was okay failing. I really was. i I knew I could go into it, and it might be the worst thing I ever did in my life, but at least I'd be able to look back and say, I tried. you know I ah tried it, I was terrible at it, but I gave it a shot. you know Because there's something in me that's okay with that. ah I'm not okay with not trying, but I'm okay with trying and failing. I think that's built, that's just genetically built into all of us music people. Yeah. Because we have to fail for a long time at music before you get good at it. but So did you find, I know of myself, like, you know, when I first got into it, people were all, Hey man, don't be nervous. I'm like, nervous.
00:11:19
Speaker
yeah yeah who's nervous yeah i've been honest a se Yeah, they're all worked up you're like Would you calm down? do but Just back up off me, all right? I'm OK. Yeah. And I felt like that was an advantage I had over the beginning comments around me, that you have stage presence. right And people are like, wow, you're so big. I'm like, that because of the drum corps thing, that's the only way you know how to be is. Yeah. You wake up spaced with your whole personality. Personality, yes, yes. and
00:11:56
Speaker
That was a very big strong point for me. yeah I'm very envious of you right now, my friend. You know what's funny is that taking up space and being big is the worst thing I'm at. Oh, in comedy yeah i'm really? Yeah, I'm a very like very medium to low energy comedian. And I'm always, always thinking I need to be bigger, and especially when you get to performing theaters and things. You're on a bigger stage and you're in front of bigger rooms. I have to be and bigger, but it's like something I have to constantly have to think about. I guess from, you know, I had to tell you, I, I developed a lot of my bigness from actually instructing, you know, right I can't stand using the microphone. Right. it used for my I don't need the mic. It just,
00:12:50
Speaker
messes up my timing. So I'm just big by nature. Yeah. So the bigger the room, I just instinctively get bigger. at And I love that. I love that. Yeah. Plus, you know, I was always a guy in the back of the bus. I had to be big, you know? I had to be big. I'm sorry, I'm thinking of all your space, Jackie.
Evolution of Comedy Style
00:13:16
Speaker
I was gonna ask the next question, ah Tony, how has your comedy evolved since you debuted? This is like, you know, you posted that video on TikTok, and that's the first I had ever heard of you being a ah a drill writer before or having anything to do with marching band. So how has your comedy evolved since you debuted? What have some of those big changes in the stand-up comedy been for you as you've gone through your career? i I've always worked ah pretty clean over my career, but I've gone from being maybe 90% clean to 100% clean. So that changed. and that was because i
00:14:00
Speaker
I had heard Jim Gaffigan talking about it one time. He was kind of the same way. He was 90% clean, and it just clicked to him one day. He was like, you know, if I'm almost all the way clean, there's no reason not to just be completely clean. So that's ah that's a change I've made. um I've become A lot more confident over the years. That's a natural progression, I think. But you know, I've been doing this for a little over 20 years now. um So I've become a lot more confident on stage. I've bombed in every single way imaginable.
00:14:37
Speaker
So ah doing poorly on stage doesn't scare me anymore because i've I've been in every situation. I've had audiences hate me. I've had audiences not listening to me. ah Most of it in the early years of comedy, I don't find myself in those situations anymore. But you know, in case I do, I've i've been there before. So ah very few things surprise me on stage anymore. So that's nice. That gives you a confidence. um
00:15:09
Speaker
I'm a lot more confident in my sort of comedic instincts now. um After writing for 20 years, I have a decent idea of what's going to work before I try it on stage. In the first decade, you're like, well, I think this is funny, but who knows? And most of the time I was wrong.
00:15:30
Speaker
uh you know over the years your uh your instincts get better and you learn to write in your own voice and um and so that helps you know there's nothing nothing worse than playing a room where there's televisions right oh yeah yeah and they won't turn them off yeah the football game is on oh man and you do and cricket cricket yeah yeah You pull out your best off. Cricket, cricket, cricket. Yeah.
00:16:04
Speaker
See, Woody, I was thinking you were meaning like televisions as in like, if you're performing at, you know, the Alamo Dome or something, and there's a jumbotron and you accidentally see yourself. No, no,
00:16:19
Speaker
no you actually accidentally see the football game on. um the time You know, sometimes tired you you go, or they they have these events at a bar or at a club. And it The event is in a smaller room, but on the other side is the bar that's still functioning, and the television are are all on, and half the room is back there with the television. They're not standing back there, they're just fucking at the television while you're giving it your all. And you're like, hey, you, looking at the television. For me? Yeah, you. I'm telling jokes up here.
00:17:01
Speaker
Yeah. The good news is the longer you're in this business, the less you find yourself in those situations. Do you find that it's more like certain um venues that do that, that have situations like that? Or is it just the audience? Like, what's your audience engagement like, you know? and I mean, when you start out, you're doing a lot of ah like bars and things where they decide to do a comedy show. Someone decides, hey, that you know, this will be a good place to do comedy. But as you, and you know, I still do a lot of those in New York City, but they tend to be set up a little bit better. There's so much comedy in New York, people know what needs to happen to make a show successful. And it does mean like, even if you're in a sports bar, the TVs go off while the show is on. A lot of little things like that. But as I get older and have been doing this more, i you know, I work in comedy clubs and small theaters and things where people know they're coming
Quality of Venues and Performance Challenges
00:17:59
Speaker
to see comedy. Yeah, you're not interrupting someone's evening at a bar. ah And sometimes people are in a bar like they don't even know comedy is going to happen. I call it ambush comedy. And I feel as bad for them. is They feel it's very bizarre, Jackie, like yeah these people are at the bar and they have no clue that this is about to happen. And you're like, Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. What the heck is going on here? and They're like looking over their shoulder. Right. Yeah. that It's the worst. But, you know, i I don't end up in those types of shows anymore, which is nice. I'm so glad to hear that. I'm getting older. I'm so glad to hear it because, you know, I actually took it personal a lot. Oh, that yeah. You can never do that. And that's what I did. I did. Yeah, that's not.
00:18:54
Speaker
Like, I suck. I feel like just being in social media, that's something you learn you have to get over really quickly. Yeah. You can't take anything people say personally. but Yeah. Yes, you do. I feel like I kind of started to blow up maybe a year or so ago on Instagram. I had a couple videos get very big. And, you know, the sort of best practices for social media is you're supposed to reply to everybody and engage with everyone, which means you have to look at the comments, which, you know, i oh my instinct is I probably shouldn't look at the comments. But you do, you always run across someone telling you you're terrible and you're not funny. and ah But, you know,
00:19:45
Speaker
yeah You do get, that you learn ah another layer of thick skin ah to ignore a lot of that. Because the truth is a lot of people did like it. And that's why it's gone viral. Yeah, you got to really focus on those people who enjoyed it versus the people who are the hecklers or whatever. um What's the most memorable interaction you have had with an audience member during a performance? I don't know if I have a most memorable one because my like my style of comedy, I don't get heckled a lot.
00:20:18
Speaker
um i I don't talk about controversial topics. you know I stay away from religion and politics and things that tend to rile people up or make them think they need to give you their opinion. I don't talk about any of those things. So when someone ends up talking to me in a show, it's honestly because they're just You know, but maybe I asked a question. I usually don't because I'm not interested in the audience talking. ah But maybe I asked a question or maybe they think they're just being helpful. But I i never I don't want to say never. um I very, very, very rarely get someone ah trying to interrupt my show or is upset by something I said. Do you OK?
00:21:09
Speaker
so you don't interact with it. It took me a while to actually introduce that into my writing, you know. Yeah. They are playing the moments, as you would know. Yeah. Believe it or not, all of this stuff is carefully planned out, just like writing a drill. That also made writing comedy easy because it's just like writing music or writing drill, like when you sit down, form and function, transition. Yeah, yeah. yeah i'll like that yeah It was so much so easy to put the two worlds together for me. Yeah. Have you tapped into any drunk or stuff? um I mean, I had a and a joke a couple of weeks ago, which I think Jackie was talking about, ah about being a drill designer that got
00:22:01
Speaker
a lot of traction online and tons and tons of that's a video that I saw last week. that Probably. Yeah, that's the one we we've got Tony all over our group chats and we were like, who is this guy? We need to get him. No, that was that was great. I was mad but because i I did never think how to we were trying to connect you with different drum cores and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. It's funny too, because I had, I had posted that, uh, that video clip a couple of years ago and it didn't get a lot of traction, but you know, every once in a while I'll repost something and it just hits the algorithm perfectly. And ye I, you know what, I can never figure out.
00:22:55
Speaker
how to tap into that resource. It's it's just luck, honestly. and he said you know There's a lot of material laying on the ground from our drum corps experience. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's also it's a it's such a niche little world that um you have to if you are going to talk about drunk or like as a comedian, you have to find a way to kind of explain it to people. Explain it to people. Yes. Yeah, because it's real odd if we're honest about it. You know, like yeah yeah yeah, it's kind of like professional marching band and like what?
00:23:39
Speaker
Like, yeah, I really thought if I was going to take that approach, I would try to find a way to parallel it with real world people like normal people. Yeah, real world people that I always refer to us as, you know, a parallel world week. Yeah, we don't operate in the same same rhythm as regular people. Right. I mean, and a summer on tour, it's the ultimate, like alternate universe. There's nothing about a summer that looks anything like real life. Like real life. yeah yeah I agree with that a thousand percent. So what do you focus your comedy on? um These days, like I have a kid now, I talk about being a parent and my kid and
00:24:37
Speaker
um I describe myself as an observational comedian, which is I don't even like that term because I feel like every comedian is just kind of observing the world. But that's so about the best I can come up with. Yeah, I don't have a kid, but I have a wife. so Yeah, that sort of thing. Most of my stuff is ah it's home based. Yeah. Yeah. You can relate to. So when you were saying ah you don't get help because you don't mess with the religion and the politics and things like that. Yeah. Why? Yeah. Most of the things that people can touch immediately.
00:25:17
Speaker
Yeah, and if you can connect with everyone, like, you know, politics splits the room in half immediately. um It's that's a much easier job being a comedian if you can connect with everybody and not connect with half of the people. It's true. Yeah, it has to be expectations of you being funny to be able to split the room, and people could laugh at everything.
Avoiding Controversial Topics in Comedy
00:25:41
Speaker
Yeah, that's a a line that I don't feel like walking. Yeah, when you're not a known, when you're not a known commodity, like one of the big guns, you know, we were they they question you. Yeah. What makes you smart? Because I am. So
00:25:58
Speaker
but i'm I'm a parent myself and I'm about to have a second baby. How do you balance life with your career as a comedian, a drill writer, a parent? like You have to have such good organizational skills. How do you get all that balanced? um it
Balancing Career and Parenthood
00:26:20
Speaker
was very difficult, especially as soon as like when my son was first born, and I'd had many years of sort of obsessively focusing on comedy, and suddenly
00:26:35
Speaker
you're just, and especially like my son was born right after I did Conan. So it was the first time in my career I felt like I had traction. I felt like I could leverage it into something and immediately it was like, no, you don't have time for that. So I, I mean, I kind of, uh, I don't know if it was like, there was a lot of anxiety about not being able to kind of use the opportunity I'd be given, but in retrospect, and you know this too, the time with your kids goes so quickly. I don't regret taking a step back at all.
00:27:20
Speaker
you know and i spend as much time with my kid and i stand up is going to be there until the day i quit breathing i will always be able to do it but my kid uh you know he's around for a finite amount of time and then he's off to live his life so um and he's only going to give you material for so long dad right yeah yeah he does he He takes credit for my ah both of my like big viral video clips because they were both about him. So he thinks that it's a thanks to him that I got a little bit of fame. All right. We are going to take a quick break. And once Tony has completely written rewritten the ballad for you guys, we're going to go ahead and put that on the field. ah We'll be right back with his water are we doing and gush and go. So see you in just a minute.

00:29:22
Speaker
Hey, we with comedian and drill writer, Tony Dale. Tony, I just got to know, this is like one of my favorite things to ask. What part of the marching band show are you? Like, if you had to carry yourself, your personality, what is it? Well, um it feels like cheating to say that I'm the drill. and because but So I'm going to eliminate that from my options of things to say. um if i If I really look at my life and I spend ah a lot of time trying to be ah the center of attention ah ah on stage all by myself, I'm going to say I'm the soprano soloist. OK. Too much ego takes too highly of myself.
00:30:21
Speaker
We'll go with that. i i say Can I say my opinion after binging your TikTok videos? ah I i would have would have actually said something like a Z-pole. Ah, that's good too. oh That's a good idea. It's very centralized. it it It just keeps getting and bigger. Yeah, I do love the Z-pole.
00:30:52
Speaker
It's a good one. It's a good one. i So that being said, what are we doing in the marching arts? What are we doing? What are we doing?
00:31:14
Speaker
Do you have anything that you just want to like question or throw out there for people to think about? Like, why do we do this? Is is this where I get to complain and be like, please just throw it out. All right. look So, you know, I'm, you know, I'm a director and, you know, I was in drunk court in the nineties.
Changes in Modern Marching Bands
00:31:37
Speaker
Um, I, I don't think we march enough anymore. I and i know this is, said you know, tilting at windmills and the old man shaking his fist at the sky. but Play something! that There's just, that I feel like we don't make, like I used to watch drill and I couldn't figure out how
00:32:03
Speaker
what I saw happened and I would have to rewind and watch it again and ah ah go in slow motion and try to figure out how they did it and now I watch drum corps I'm like oh they played and then they ran over there and then they played again so I wish, I really wish we would march more. And I don't know if it's the pendulum is ever going to swing back again. I think it it you know it does a lot and ah in this art, but I don't know if we'll ever get back to but like the days when
00:32:41
Speaker
ah people were just moving and moving and but because you know it does it affects the music a little bit and it makes it harder to play and everybody's chasing points I wish we didn't do that as much either I wish we everyone just put on the best possible show they could and not worry about what box someone was going to put them in that night because I think I think the activity would be so much better I think if if you know these drum corps could put on the show they wanted to do without ever worrying about what number they were going to see at the end of the night. I think we'd have a better activity.
00:33:16
Speaker
but that is I almost feel like that's what's happening kind of and in some ah in some of those and they're not getting the credit for it. They're just going and they're putting on on a good show and they're putting on a drum corps show and then they're not getting the credit for it and the score is and so we don't see them in the top. Yeah, I hope they keep doing that. bad then That's what will keep people interested and ah you know when we all chase the number a lot of the shows start looking the same. You know, that's why I make it a point to get to the show at the Star-Spangled Banner and sit down. Because, you know, a lot of people can't appreciate what those ah lower tier pores that never get seen do. Right. Yeah. There is a lot of effort put into the design. They just don't get the talent to maybe pull it off. But the design thing is there. If you're a writer, you should be able to see that. Yeah.
