00:06:25
Cori Stewart

00:06:41
Cori Stewart
Okay.
00:06:42
Tom Brown
It's different. you you play I've taken East Coast sandwich s knobs there and I turn them. I get them with a sandwich.
00:06:56
Cori Stewart
there are so many like There are so many St. Louis food places that I miss so much. Denver's food scene leaves a little bit to be desired, i think.
00:07:00
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:07:07
Tom Brown
Mm-hmm.
00:07:08
Cori Stewart
um there are so There's really good Vietnamese food. There's good Mexican.
00:07:12
Tom Brown
Oh, yeah.
00:07:14
Cori Stewart
I'm starting to find some places, and but there are just so many places in St. Louis that I really, really really miss. What are you finding now that you're back home?
00:07:23
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:07:25
Cori Stewart
ah What are the things that you missed back home that you're getting now?
00:07:29
Tom Brown
oh Oh.
00:07:33
Tom Brown
i I have not eaten as many Detroit-style Coney dogs as I or anyone else would have thought I would have. The number is surprisingly low.
00:07:45
Cori Stewart
what What are those like? How are those different things?
00:07:47
Tom Brown
oh They are amazing. So it's a Vienna-style wiener with a natural casing.
00:07:58
Tom Brown
So it's got a nice snap to it.
00:07:59
Cori Stewart
Oh, I do like that. Yeah.
00:08:01
Tom Brown
Yeah, it's got a great snap.
00:08:05
Tom Brown
Coaching typically on flat grill. gris But the real star of this is the Coney Island sauce. It was and invented by a Greek immigrant who went through Coney Island, went to Detroit, decided to make name the sauce Coney Island for some reason.
00:08:23
Tom Brown
Coney Island hot dogs have nothing to do with Coney Island, New York.
00:08:26
Cori Stewart
What is the sauce like? What is...
00:08:29
Tom Brown
It's a meat chili.
00:08:31
Cori Stewart
Mm-hmm.
00:08:32
Tom Brown
Yeah, so it's no beans, just like a meat-based chili, like maybe some very fine things cut into it.
00:08:32
Cori Stewart
So no, no beans in it. No.
00:08:39
Tom Brown
um sometimes Beefheart. it's it's like That's more of a Flint style. im not I'm more of a Detroit style guy myself.
00:08:49
Cori Stewart
Is the beef heart like, it's pretty gamey, right? Does it make it like
00:08:53
Tom Brown
It would be. I have the i've not had the Flint style.
00:08:57
Cori Stewart
I'm not a fan of organ music.
00:08:58
Tom Brown
Yeah. i' like It's a Detroit style.
00:08:59
Cori Stewart
Well, I do like Braunschweiger.
00:09:00
Tom Brown
Oh, I love Brunchfinger.
00:09:01
Cori Stewart
You like Braunschweiger? Yeah, right.
00:09:05
Tom Brown
Kogels, which is the brand of hot dog that I prefer from Flint, Michigan. Makes an amazing Braunschweiger. Like, best Braunschweiger. Every other Braunschweiger I've had is trash.
00:09:18
Tom Brown
It is like, it's not overwhelming, it's just perfect.
00:09:19
Cori Stewart
I like, I don't know. Yeah. I like it when, so sometimes it is um a little grainy. I like, there's a kind that you can get in the grocery store that's like Hunter's or something.
00:09:31
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:09:32
Cori Stewart
It's just very, it was always very cheap and it was what my grandparents got, but it was like, it was like, it was like as close to pate as.
00:09:33
Tom Brown
Okay.
00:09:37
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:09:41
Tom Brown
Yeah, ah basic like I was going to the Kogos one is very, very much a peck. It's very, very good.
00:09:45
Cori Stewart
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like it.
00:09:49
Tom Brown
Yeah. The one Mexican place, this is what sounds shocking that I truly miss in St. Louis Chimichangas in South Korea. and
00:09:59
Cori Stewart
Oh, I don't realize I ever ate that there.
00:10:00
Tom Brown
I love that place. The food was cheap. Oh, man. The margaritas are about... They they shrank them, unfortunately. used to be 46 ounces. South 40. south forty It's bullshit.
00:10:13
Tom Brown
And when I first started going there in 2010, the 46-ounce mark was like $9.99.
00:10:22
Tom Brown
And it's now, I think, $11.99 for the 40-ounce, which is still a great deal in and this economy.
00:10:25
Cori Stewart
All right. That's pretty good.
00:10:28
Tom Brown
Can't beat that.
Social Issues: Immigration and Labor
00:10:30
Cori Stewart
We'll see how long that lasts.
00:10:33
Tom Brown
Yeah, let's see, yeah.
00:10:33
Cori Stewart
I'm concerned about.
00:10:35
Tom Brown
Yeah, I noticed a lot of the staff there, let's just say the skin tone lightened a little bit after the first Trump administration.
00:10:47
Tom Brown
not great. Yeah, that I don't blame the restaurant so much as the labor pool they were able to attract them.
00:10:49
Cori Stewart
yeah that's up, Kate.
00:10:56
Cori Stewart
You know, i so I do a lot of work with people who are undocumented and I don't think that, and in Colorado, there have been a lot of raids, a lot of ice raids.
00:11:08
Cori Stewart
And I don't think that it is, it's sustainable for them to continue to the raid because, because they don't have the space to contain people.
00:11:09
Tom Brown
yeah
00:11:13
Tom Brown
No. Not at all. It's ridiculous.
00:11:21
Cori Stewart
And so like they, ice has been doing raids, but they're also releasing people that they've that they've taken in already. yeah.
00:11:29
Tom Brown
Yeah. ah They're putting themselves in a stupid political position in a very and very untenable position and
00:11:37
Cori Stewart
yeah
00:11:39
Tom Brown
It could go one of many tragic ways. ah So I hope for the best on that. But we're a month and into this new shitstorm.
00:11:53
Tom Brown
And I just hope we can all weather it the best we can.
00:11:57
Cori Stewart
Yeah, I hope so too.
00:12:03
Tom Brown
Okay. ah
00:12:06
Tom Brown
ah
00:12:06
Cori Stewart
ah Oh, okay.
00:12:07
Tom Brown
I have a couple of canned questions I'd like to ask my guests.
00:12:09
Cori Stewart
Well, let's go.
00:12:11
Tom Brown
um I'll throw a couple of them every once a while. It's not a whole lot. But the thing is, podcasts and the new world we live in seem to really thrive on conspiracy theory.
Comedy and Conspiracy Theories
00:12:25
Tom Brown
And want to talk about that little bit. What is your, and I use this term loosely, favorites. conspiracy theory. and my favorite to be like, I actually believe this, that this is what it is, or like, this is my favorite because it's so incredibly fucking stupid, I can't believe any fucking more than I actually fucking believe this shit.
00:12:45
Cori Stewart
i can tell you the one that I don't like. um I don't like the birds aren't real conspiracy theory.
00:12:50
Tom Brown
Okay.
00:12:55
Tom Brown
Oh yeah, that was, yeah. Is it because they know birds birds are real and they're just fucking with people, but then like people now believe birds aren't real. They're cameras for the carpet.
00:13:03
Cori Stewart
Yeah, I think, I think. I think in a time when science is being rejected, it is pretty detrimental to say that they're like like birds aren't a real
00:13:12
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:13:16
Tom Brown
Yeah. And now the guy who started it can't get away from He can't be like, no, no, I was just fucking you with everyone. Why aren't you listening to me now? They got him too.
00:13:25
Cori Stewart
thing. I kind of like that we didn't actually land on the moon. Kind of like that, that it was a kub break ah Kubrick joint, a Kubrick...
00:13:32
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:13:37
Tom Brown
Don't tell that to Buzz Aldrin. He'll punch you the face.
00:13:39
Cori Stewart
yeah
00:13:41
Tom Brown
Hard. And multiple times. He's a badass.
00:13:47
Tom Brown
Yeah. And the crazy thing is like...
00:13:48
Cori Stewart
Well, he would fight up about almost anything, right? Like, he was just a scrappy guy.
00:13:53
Tom Brown
It's true.
00:13:55
Cori Stewart
He was just...
00:13:55
Tom Brown
Yeah. You got Aldrin...
00:13:59
Tom Brown
yeah you've got alra Buzz.
00:14:04
Cori Stewart
You got buzzed up.
00:14:06
Tom Brown
Yeah. You buzz the fuck up. ah
00:14:11
Tom Brown
Yeah, also the fact that talked about this on of another episode. It always goes back to the moon landing one, which is funny to me. ah But, yeah, literally would have cost more money to fake a moon landing in 1969 to do a moon landing.
00:14:29
Tom Brown
Go back and watch 2001.
00:14:32
Tom Brown
the special effects don't hold up.
00:14:35
Cori Stewart
yeah
00:14:36
Tom Brown
look Yeah, I mean, I get it. The moon, it was television cameras from the moon it's in 1969. It's going to look a little grainy.
00:14:44
Cori Stewart
ah he
00:14:47
Cori Stewart
Which one?
00:14:47
Tom Brown
We're having problems broadcasting from one coast to the other.
00:14:54
Cori Stewart
Yeah, it's, ah yeah, the moon landing has about the same quality as like an early episode of ah Leave it to Beaver, right?
00:15:03
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:15:04
Cori Stewart
The same.
00:15:04
Tom Brown
Same cameras. yeah
00:15:07
Tom Brown
Yeah. They had a book cover somewhere. They were like, get the Beaver cameras.
00:15:16
Cori Stewart
Get out the beef cam.
00:15:17
Tom Brown
Yeah. Which I now regret seeing.
00:15:24
Tom Brown
ah Yeah, I know. It's totally weird.
00:15:30
Tom Brown
So let's, uh, the So you're making the move from one comedy scene to another. I've currently done that myself. You've done a little earlier than me. How's that transition going?
00:15:41
Tom Brown
Where are you going think of it?
00:15:42
Cori Stewart
um Good in some ways. Kind of kind of rough in others. I mean, I'm, I'm making friends there and I'm i'm doing lots of shows, but I have had a ah harder time.
00:15:55
Cori Stewart
just the other day i have, uh, they released all of the, um, people who got into the comedy works, new talent thing.
00:16:05
Tom Brown
Oh, that's trip.
00:16:06
Cori Stewart
And I think there was, um some kind of,
00:16:13
Cori Stewart
issue because I've done new talent night like four or five times now and I'm doing pretty well there and kind of working my way up. But I wasn't on the list of people who got to do the competition, which is kind of disappointing.
00:16:23
Tom Brown
um true
00:16:26
Cori Stewart
But I've also decided that I don't really, you know, want to do things that are not It's a big roast town, Denver.
00:16:37
Cori Stewart
they They do a lot of roast battles.
00:16:38
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:16:40
Cori Stewart
That's like the core of their comedy scene right now.
00:16:42
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:16:43
Cori Stewart
And Comedy Works is, it's
00:16:43
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:16:48
Cori Stewart
a little kind of, it's a little, a little bro-y.
00:16:50
Tom Brown
Rusty? Little brody?
00:16:54
Cori Stewart
And so yeah.
00:16:55
Tom Brown
Oh, yeah.
00:16:56
Cori Stewart
Yeah.
00:16:57
Tom Brown
that's just That's disappointing, because I've always been heralded as kind of like a really good place.
00:17:03
Cori Stewart
ah Audiences are great.
00:17:03
Tom Brown
And, yeah.
00:17:04
Cori Stewart
The audiences everywhere in Denver are great because it's a young city and everyone has um wants to go out and and have fun.
00:17:05
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:17:12
Cori Stewart
And so my brewery shows are great.
00:17:12
Tom Brown
cool.
00:17:14
Cori Stewart
Comedy Works is great because it packs them in there. you know But um so I think that my focus is, I think kind of like it was in St. Louis, is to do indie shows that...
00:17:28
Cori Stewart
make people feel good. And that's what I'm, I'm working on now. So I've, I've gotten into Denver Fringe Fest with the show and Teal Pierce is going to be helping me on that, but I'm also probably going to be doing the show as a monthly show at a new club called Gnarly's.
00:17:37
Tom Brown
oh

00:19:41
Tom Brown
yeah I was listening to, um, mayor Martin Maron's podcast. aye He was a ah just a guest on it. And it it's like the entire time I realized Anthony Jesselbeck sounds like Woody Allen trying to be tough.
00:19:59
Cori Stewart
yeah
00:20:02
Tom Brown
I can't get that out of my head.
00:20:05
Cori Stewart
Yeah, yeah. I guess the difference difference between Anthony Jeselnik and ah Woody Allen is... Jeselnik talks about it, but Woody Alley is about it.
00:20:19
Cori Stewart
or Woody Allen is about it.
00:20:19
Tom Brown

00:21:34
Tom Brown
I absolutely abhor the crimes that Woody Allen has been alleged of, but his stand-up comedy in the 60s was so good.
00:21:46
Tom Brown
Like, well, he did those shows before he did those things.
00:21:46
Cori Stewart
I've never listened to a...
00:21:56

00:23:28
Cori Stewart
Yeah, you think it's...
00:23:28
Tom Brown
It's Woody. It's Woody. Yeah, is copy work ah his His stand-up holds up. His stand-up, I think, if you just put it on stage in a different human suit, and someone did those jokes, and you didn't realize there was someone else's Woody Allen's notes, you would think it was amazing.
00:23:49
Tom Brown
And timeless. And Maybe one's doing Kampari ads anymore. But outside of that, maybe just change it up a little bit. His bit with the, like, hitting person was in a moose costume, or an actual moose, and taking it to a party, I guess it's a very RFA, but yeah.
00:24:07
Cori Stewart
Thank you.
00:24:13
Tom Brown
It's very interesting. His joke about, um, um, It's an 8 second, literally, I have this CD, it's an 8 second track.
00:24:25
Tom Brown
I an amazing example of the oral contraception. I asked a young lady to go home with me and she said no.
00:24:37
Tom Brown
End of joke.
00:24:38
Cori Stewart
what
00:24:40
Tom Brown
Yeah. It's like, oh, wait a second, Woody Allen could listen to someone saying no and take it seriously?
00:24:49
Cori Stewart
He just you are like a monkey, like a spider monkey and in Root.
00:24:50
Tom Brown
that's revelatory.
00:24:54
Tom Brown
Yeah, just all over the place.
00:24:58
Cori Stewart
He's a little guy.
00:24:58
Tom Brown
Yeah. I did look at the HBO documentary about all of it, and and i do have it's like I did have my issues with that, too.
00:25:12
Tom Brown
I don't know the kid's story, I believe, but, like, Mia Farrow, there's something about her that strikes me as, like, very manipulative and Yemi Aferro and there's just something it's always just like is this like you could you could probably get away and there's just I feel like you're being manipulated there and it's just like yeah it's just I can't put my finger on it I'm not going to say anything more about that but I've already got myself cancelled in 13 states

00:28:28
Tom Brown
Oh Phil.
00:28:40
Tom Brown
Yeah, like he was constantly on cable TV. Like, I just, yeah.
00:28:51

with VH1 you would see like Rita Redner and I loved Rita Redner and there were George Carlin specials on and then Janine Garofalo kind of like blew up and was doing yeah
00:28:55
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:29:01

Oh, yeah, the 90s. I saw a show, it was a co-headliner with Herb Mark Barron in 2009.

00:29:27
Cori Stewart
Because I thought it was a real job.
00:29:28
Tom Brown
Man, I did, okay, yeah, they're earlier than me.
00:29:29
Cori Stewart
I guess next day it could be a real job, I think.
00:29:30
Tom Brown
Yeah, I had no idea what stand-up comedy was. Maybe, like, first or second grade, like, when we got cable, and I remember starting to stay up a little later, especially in the summer, and, like,
00:29:41
Tom Brown
you know, be on A&E, you know, the Night at the Improv or some shit. ah But I remember my first thought of seeing a stand-up comedian was like, oh, that's really cool. He gets to get on TV and tell jokes, but what does he really do for a living? man Like, this can't be it.
00:29:55
Cori Stewart
ah
00:29:57
Tom Brown
People can't do this, right? They're getting paid for this. Let's just goof around and do it on TV.
00:30:02
Cori Stewart
I think you used to be able to actually like get paid and like make a living doing it.
00:30:03
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:30:07
Cori Stewart
I don't think that's way it is anymore, but.

Cori Stewart
that's all right that's all right
00:30:39
Tom Brown

00:31:27
Tom Brown
So, it's like, oh my god, Nora Dunn kind of knows I exist!
00:31:33
Tom Brown
Yeah, I, uh, I've had an awkward time meeting at SNL people, though, when I have, um, Like, I told him that was probably one of my top ten favorite people on the show of all time, especially at the time hit him, because I was a huge fan of the Ladies' Man.
00:31:49
Tom Brown
remember me and my best friend were being driven to see Phantom Menace, Star Wars Episode I by my uncle, and he got so annoyed and pissed off. We were constantly doing Ladies' Man bits the entire drive to the movie theater.
00:32:02

00:32:37
Tom Brown
That was pretty great. I got to introduce him the crowd. That was the sign of book.
00:32:45

Tom Brown
Oh, well, yeah, I got Jason Sudeikis, who is one of my favorite SNL people of all time.
00:34:26
Cori Stewart
Mm-hmm.
00:34:26
Tom Brown
thought I say very legitimately, um don't It's weird because when you hear ah SNL people talk about everyone's favorite time was when they were in high because that's when they got played at home.
00:34:38
Tom Brown
No. Mine was never my late college years until my early adult years with Jason Sudeikis, Phil Hader, Andy Samberg, Kristen Wiig, late TFA.
00:34:49
Tom Brown
That's my favorite period of the show. like The writing was amazing. The acting was amazing. And it's just like that for me is the best year of it.
00:35:02
Cori Stewart
yeah i uh i loved jason sudeca's era saturday night live and so that was probably one of my favorites but also like re-watching nora dunn phil hartman jan hooks era

Cori Stewart
Yeah.
00:35:46

Cori Stewart
But it's like it's so like it's such an iconic sketch. It's so great.

00:37:43
Cori Stewart
Who else? Who else do I consider a mentor?

00:39:22
Cori Stewart
Get excited about
00:39:23
Tom Brown
I'm starting build a couple relationships here and there and in the the West Michigan scene.
00:39:26
Cori Stewart
ah what
00:39:29
Tom Brown
um Thankfully, I'm coming like i'm not like new at it. I'm just new to everyone, so I seem a lot better than I actually am.
00:39:39
Cori Stewart
You are very good.
00:39:41
Tom Brown
Thank you.
00:39:41
Cori Stewart
You're funny.
00:39:41
Tom Brown
so yeah Thank you.
00:39:44
Cori Stewart
Do you feel like you're ah your style has changed at all in a new place?
00:39:49
Tom Brown
No, um i'm still doing my weird thing that I do. which is a lot of screaming and, you know, pushing, like, um my weird angry agenda.
00:40:01
Tom Brown
It's
00:40:04
Tom Brown
not all anger. It's not all anger. I swear, it's not all anger.
00:40:09
Cori Stewart
It's anger from a place of love. You can only get that angry because you care so much.
00:40:11
Tom Brown
Exactly. I just want things to be better, and I know that it won't.
00:40:20
Cori Stewart
Yeah, I feel the same way.
00:40:22
Tom Brown
I got a new bit that I got from the i watching the Oscars that I kind of like ah don't know if you saw anyan or the Nora or it Nora won Best Picture I've not seen the movie
00:40:37
Cori Stewart
I have not seen Enora. I did. I also did not watch the, what was I doing? to i was hanging out with Chris Sear at all during the Oscars, so I didn't watch him.
00:40:45
Tom Brown
either but by the Kona O'Brien was amazing
00:40:49
Cori Stewart
Was he?
00:40:50
Tom Brown
not Oh, absolutely fantastic.
00:40:50
Cori Stewart
bet he was.
00:40:53
Tom Brown
But yeah, I don't remember what Best Picture, and like every time it's about like a sex worker who gets married to some sort of guy who's like high end or something.
00:41:00
Cori Stewart
Russian oligarch, I believe.
00:41:02
Tom Brown
Ross and Roger, yeah, that makes more sense. um But it was just funny to hear every ah acceptance speech. I would like to thank the sex workers. Every time I would like to think the sex workers are being such an inspiration.
00:41:20
Tom Brown
I heard the second book there so much. I thought Charlie Sheen won an Oscar.
00:41:27
Cori Stewart
yeah he is he was the number one supporter of sex workers admittedly I wonder how he's doing you don't think guess we we can't know because he hasn't
00:41:31
Tom Brown
Oh, for sure. Right answer. Yeah. um Um, um, I don't think so, right?
00:41:43
Tom Brown
Yeah. Yeah. But it was like, what I was really enamored with the whole,
00:41:47
Cori Stewart
no type of blood
00:41:49
Tom Brown
like public flip out thing he did because speaking of conspiracy theory this is my Charlie Sheen conspiracy theory is that didn't actually go nuts he was screaming shit like got tired of my veins 16 for fucking penises to the sky and I think he just really really really wanted all two and a half minutes and that was he couldn't quit he'd lot
00:42:13
Cori Stewart
maybe. yeah maybe
00:42:18
Tom Brown
couldnt but he'd lose ah like he'd lose a lot But if he got fired,
00:42:24
Tom Brown
he can get away with a lot of more money.
00:42:26
Cori Stewart
You know, that's a really good theory. I think maybe maybe it was the cocaine.
00:42:30
Tom Brown
Because he seemed to calm right the fuck down.
00:42:32
Cori Stewart
Maybe it was the cocaine.
00:42:33
Tom Brown
it was It was probably a little bit of both, but he seemed to definitely calm the fuck down right after getting fired from him.
00:42:41
Cori Stewart
And just kind of disappeared. Maybe, I mean, he
00:42:43
Tom Brown
Exactly. It's like, I got my money, I got my HIV, I'm good.
00:42:49
Cori Stewart
yeah, I wonder what his I wonder. He has so much money. I'm sure he could get that. taken care of right yeah so he's he's good he has like and not only magic johnson money but also like he comes from a family of of like a prolific hollywood family i'm sure that
00:42:58
Tom Brown
Yeah, he's got the Magic Johnson one, yeah.
00:43:12
Tom Brown
Oh, yeah. you got the end window Father Martin Sheen is my favorite fictional president of all time. President Martin.
00:43:20
Cori Stewart
also he had some coke problems back in the day so you know
00:43:20
Tom Brown
For us,
00:43:26
Tom Brown
Well, yeah, he was an actor in the 70s.
00:43:26
Cori Stewart
when he was doing it.
00:43:27
Tom Brown
He was in a Francis Ford Coppola film. He was probably at one point paid in cocaine.
00:43:33
Cori Stewart
Yeah, yeah the yeah. The documentary about the making of Apocalypse Now is absolutely...
00:43:37
Tom Brown
He had a heart attack at 43 and was shape. Yeah, he was doing coke.
00:43:43
Cori Stewart
Everybody used to have heart attacks in their 40s and 50s.
00:43:48
Tom Brown
Please don't tell me that.
00:43:48
Cori Stewart
I think my grandfather had his first heart attack when he was, like, late 40s, and both of them had, like, they ended up having, like,
00:43:54
Tom Brown
Oh, jeez. I do...
00:43:57
Cori Stewart
triple bypasses like four times and live to the ripe old age of like my one of my grandpas had probably 17 bypasses throughout you know through the ages and lived to be 93 years old i'm just saying
00:44:00
Tom Brown
Oof...
00:44:11
Tom Brown
wow Well, yeah, you know how many bypasses have lived? I'm having my final sleep study on Monday, so can... I've been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea.
00:44:23
Cori Stewart
oh fuck
00:44:24
Tom Brown
Yeah. I stop breathing 45 times hour on average.
00:44:28
Cori Stewart
Holy shit, dude.
00:44:30
Tom Brown
Yeah, that's most of the hour.
00:44:33
Cori Stewart
yeah
00:44:34
Tom Brown
blood oxygen level was down to like 64 at one point. That's a point where your brain goes like, well, I'm dying now.
00:44:46
Cori Stewart
But, ah you know, I
00:44:46
Tom Brown
Which explains why I'm tired and have brain all the time.
00:44:50
Cori Stewart
feel that way too, but I think I don't have, that's not the problem for me. I don't know what my problem is.
00:44:58
Tom Brown
Yeah, and I could just... and yeah Yeah, that was like my... One of my biggest fears growing up and still is. And this is because... So, growing up an an atheist, you're not really told, like, Grandpa, what does it have in place? Everything's great.
00:45:16
Tom Brown
They're just like, your grandfather died in your sleep and he's not coming back. Wait, he's not coming back? Wait, you can die in your sleep? What? Does that happen? Can have an owl?
00:45:27
Cori Stewart
yeah it seems like there should be some kind of like i understand that atheium atheism doesn't have like a whole lot of like warm fuzzies
00:45:27
Tom Brown
Tip.
00:45:37
Tom Brown
ah No, no, no, no.
00:45:39
Cori Stewart
ah for maybe maybe a little something for the children you know little something for the kids
00:45:46
Tom Brown
Yeah, no, no. You need to have it. It seems it's not an organized religion, which is my favorite part of it. Yeah, it's a little hard to get out of that.
00:45:55
Cori Stewart
Yes.
00:45:58
Tom Brown
Because there was a comic that used to do a joke about an atheist convention. And I couldn't think of anything as an atheist.
00:46:09
Tom Brown
I couldn't think anything at least less appealing. I would rather go to church Sunday service than an atheist convention.
00:46:13
Cori Stewart
yeah
00:46:18
Tom Brown
That sounds like the most annoying spectacle in the history of man.
00:46:23
Cori Stewart
Why?
00:46:23
Tom Brown
Just the most certain.
00:46:24
Cori Stewart
Because everyone's so like...
00:46:27
Tom Brown
Everyone's so certain. There's nothing. Fuck you. Why are we even here? Should people watch the game, living life for the North Falls? No, we're just pitching that there is no God and that there people who do believe in God and we think we're better than them.
00:46:45
Cori Stewart
Do you have...
00:46:45
Tom Brown
Yeah. meet our
00:46:47
Cori Stewart
Do you absolutely believe that there is nothing
00:46:50
Tom Brown
No, I don't absolutely believe in that at all. There could be something. not just I have a feeling I'm going to find out the hard way. Oh, that's it. I'm in the bad place.
00:46:59
Cori Stewart
yeah
00:47:00
Tom Brown
Sorry, I didn't believe you were that the corporeal being. Oopsie.
00:47:04
Cori Stewart
i feel like there's something there's there's maybe something sometimes right now it feels like there's not much
00:47:06
Tom Brown
No.
00:47:11
Tom Brown
No.
Existential Reflections
00:47:13
Tom Brown
and Yeah. Yeah. no Yeah. um For a while, i was like, no, I'm an agnostic. I'm like, that's kind of a bullshit position.
00:47:13
Cori Stewart
that we are forsaken but there's something out there maybe definite i'm a definite maybe sign me up as
00:47:29
Cori Stewart
That's where I'm at. I'm on that bullshit.
00:47:31
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:47:36
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:47:36
Cori Stewart
Yeah, I think more tenable, maybe.
00:47:36
Tom Brown
I mean, I like to think about, I like I think about religion and like, not so much religion as like the beingness of humanity and what it all means a lot more than most religious people do.
00:47:55
Cori Stewart
I think I do too. Well, you know, I used to be very, well, not very religious, but I used to be like religious enough.
00:47:57
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:48:02
Cori Stewart
I went to a church growing up that was like, I met my first trans person at church. I, my church was pretty chill. It was,
00:48:10
Tom Brown
Yeah, there were trans people at him that weren't like, get out.
00:48:15
Cori Stewart
yeah, it was very like, it was very inclusive. I went to a church that was Christian in all senses of the word, but I still didn't
00:48:22
Tom Brown
Of the actual idea, Jesus is a cool guy and he thought you should be good at each other.
00:48:23
Cori Stewart
yeah
00:48:26
Tom Brown
Why aren't you doing that?
00:48:28
Cori Stewart
Yeah, I heard the trolley problem for the first time at church. It was a very, like, it was a very, church for me was a very good experience. I just,
00:48:38
Tom Brown
What would Jesus do with the trolley problem?
00:48:41
Cori Stewart
well, One of them, so like, well, the, actually the trolley problem is kind of about Jesus because the guy who formulated it kind of looked at it as if it was
00:48:42
Tom Brown
Oh, he was just making the train float above the ball or whatever.
00:48:59
Cori Stewart
like God is, is either
00:49:02
Tom Brown
The trouble.
00:49:03
Cori Stewart
Well, no, God is the controller and he's sent his kid down and either he has to sacrifice his kid, who is Jesus, but also himself or everybody else.
00:49:11
Tom Brown
The trouble.
00:49:15
Cori Stewart
And so the the the trolley problem is vaguely Christian.
00:49:23
Tom Brown
Now, was Jesus at the wheel in this case?
00:49:26
Cori Stewart
No, no, no. Jesus isn't.
00:49:27
Tom Brown
Is it...
00:49:28
Cori Stewart
But I guess kind of because God is also Jesus in the
00:49:29
Tom Brown
ah was yeah Yeah, exactly. as i say Who's sat on the tracks if it's Jesus at the wheel? Is it Judas on the wand and his other guys on the other wand?
00:49:40
Tom Brown
This is easy. Don't, don't. Judas, fuck it.
00:49:46
Cori Stewart
But Jesus wasn't even mad at Judas. He knew. He knew he had to do it.
00:49:50
Tom Brown
i
00:49:50
Cori Stewart
He knew what had to be done.
00:49:51
Tom Brown
Like again Raised in an atheist household Like third generation So we're Steeped in not believing in bullshit Not with the entire family There's another side of my family that is hyper religious And won't even invite us to Thanksgiving So
00:50:10
Cori Stewart
Well, you have like very, very conservative, some very conservative relatives, right? That you've told me about, like uncle.
00:50:16
Tom Brown
ah On my Yeah my father's side yeah
00:50:20
Cori Stewart
Okay. Are they religious people?
00:50:24
Tom Brown
incredibly religious they're the ones who didn't invite us to the thanksgiving one year even though we were in like we were in town for my grandparents 15th wedding anniversary and we instead ended up at a shoney's for thanksgiving where i may have i may or may not have been my first trans person as a wait later
00:50:26
Cori Stewart
Okay.
00:50:43
Cori Stewart
Actually, that doesn't sound too bad. They put out a pretty nice spread at a Shoney's.
00:50:51
Tom Brown
Oh, that the industrial pre-sliced jerky with boxed mashed potatoes.
00:50:55
Cori Stewart
three Okay, that's not so good. But I have enjoyed a Shoney's here and there in my life.
00:51:02
Tom Brown
and
00:51:03
Cori Stewart
I gotta tell you.
00:51:03
Tom Brown
Where are they? left i've seen the last time I've seen one was in Virginia in 2013.
00:51:09
Cori Stewart
Yeah, they're definite they're definitely still in the South.
00:51:09
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:51:12
Cori Stewart
I've seen them driving back from like through from Atlanta through Tennessee.
00:51:18
Tom Brown
yeah ah I consider myself fortunate I mostly avoided the South. So I haven't seen too many shows.
00:51:27
Cori Stewart
I like the South. kind I it.
00:51:29
Tom Brown
was in Florida this summer and...
00:51:30
Cori Stewart
It's pretty. like the weather. I like... Yeah, I mean, it as it turns out, there are fuckheads everywhere.
00:51:39
Tom Brown
Oh, yeah.
00:51:40
Cori Stewart
So like the South isn't.
00:51:41
Tom Brown
Yeah. ah I am from Northern Michigan. There's morons in my hometown who fly the Confederate Army, and that makes
00:51:47
Cori Stewart
Yeah.
00:51:48
Tom Brown
zero cents.
00:51:49
Cori Stewart
Yeah. Yeah. There are plenty of fuckheads in central Illinois.
00:51:55
Tom Brown
Oh wait, Central Illinois is fucking essential.
00:51:55
Cori Stewart
improvement
00:51:57
Tom Brown
Literally.
00:52:00
Cori Stewart
Lots of fuckheads.
00:52:02
Tom Brown
Yeah. But yeah. Here's like Michigan that I found wife is she's lived entirely in Missouri most of life.
00:52:18
Tom Brown
So when there's any snow, everything shuts down. But she's like, oh, it actually gets removed quick here and you can actually go do things still. Like, yeah.
00:52:29
Cori Stewart
you just you like How does she feel about that?
00:52:29
Tom Brown
Maybe I'll get a day out of
00:52:31
Cori Stewart
Does she like it or does she not like it? Good.
00:52:34
Tom Brown
the shutdown. I think she seems to like it. I think there was the first week here, she was feeling a little bit down. She didn't really have to leave the apartment much. I'm like, let's just take a little drive. We'll go to the lake, Lake Michigan.
00:52:46
Tom Brown
It was in the evening, we watched the sun set over Lake Michigan.
00:52:49
Cori Stewart
Yeah.
00:52:50
Tom Brown
It was absolutely gorgeous, and I think she may have got sold.
00:52:51
Cori Stewart
I kind of like...
00:52:55
Cori Stewart
good yeah
00:52:57
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:52:57
Cori Stewart
kind of like snow days and being snowed in. um I'm a fan of it. And so in Colorado, it is also like that, like they're, they're used to snow. And so nothing really shuts down.
00:53:11
Tom Brown
Yeah.
00:53:11
Cori Stewart
I mean, a little bit, a little bit, because it, it is like a thick, heavy snow.
00:53:12
Tom Brown
Though, yeah. There
00:53:16
Cori Stewart
And so the first couple
00:53:17
Tom Brown
Oh, yeah. so When it falls there, it's pretty big. ah like There's a couple days here I got pretty, like, should I try to go to work? I have a team. I'll be fine. But here's how... So last night, we got, like, last two days, we got a big rainstorm here. ah But it's further north in the upper peninsula of Michigan, that, like, 17 inches of snow.
00:53:41
Tom Brown
And I know it was a bad snowstorm because the bars closed.
00:53:47
Cori Stewart
Yeah, usually people, ah
00:53:48
Tom Brown
The bars don't close up there.
00:53:51
Cori Stewart
they just ah snowmobile in or walk.
00:53:54

00:55:35
Tom Brown
All right.
00:55:39
Cori Stewart
You're connecting, but not really because you're you are disassociating. You don't have to really you don't talk to anyone during ecstatic dance. You don't wear shoes. You can't look at your phone. You can't answer your phone.
00:55:51
Cori Stewart
You just kind of kind of like space out. Sometimes you look over and and people are humping each other.

01:01:05
Cori Stewart

I mean, a lot of, like, I'll prevent it, like, hey, I'm on the show. it's ah It's an open mic, but it's an open mic that I had to sign up for a month in advance for. So that's a little, like, I can't just go, like, I'm going to work on some stuff tonight.
01:04:04
Cori Stewart
Yeesh.
01:04:09
Tom Brown
Oh, I'm going to work on some stuff, but going to be four weeks from now. So it's a little bit of like, oh do I do good stuff or do i actually work on stuff? It's a little bit of a double-edged sword.
01:04:17
Cori Stewart
Do you, do you feel like because the shows are that far out, does it, do you feel like you're, you, you procrastinate on writing? That's what I think I'd do.
01:04:27
Tom Brown
i mean, I've never been a prolific writer, first off.
01:04:27
Cori Stewart
I'd be like, Oh, also, yeah. i am also yeah
01:04:31
Tom Brown
Like, i I come up with some ideas. I almost write them down. i try to remember them, and then I start to learn. And if it's allowed, if they keep it, if it doesn't, it's good to me.
01:04:45
Cori Stewart
Yeah, that's kind of how I do. I've been trying to be a more disciplined writer because I've had a lot of writers block. like
01:04:53
Tom Brown
Yeah.
01:04:53
Cori Stewart
and Towards the end of my time in St.
01:04:54
Tom Brown
Yeah. Yeah.
01:04:55
Cori Stewart
Louis, like the last year or two, I wrote probably an hour of material that got
01:05:04
Cori Stewart
that got kind of boiled down and boiled down over...
01:05:08
Tom Brown
yeah i
01:05:08
Cori Stewart
oh
01:05:10
Tom Brown
I just, every time I write anything down, immediately go through like, oh, that was a pretty idea in my head, but now when I see it in writing, that's stupid. That's, I hate I hate it. I hate me for even writing it down or thinking a lot.
01:05:22
Tom Brown
So I try not to write anything
01:05:23
Cori Stewart
Yeah.
01:05:25
Tom Brown
The most thing out of me now, like my writing is like, I'm both, like, have a much longer set. I got whole list, both the jokes, the ones I'm going to do, and this one's going to be a little smaller one.
01:05:36
Tom Brown
And it's more like the show like, no, I don't want to do that joke. I don't want to do that joke. I just don't know how I'm going to end. don't want to start the rest of the middle. It's going to happen.
01:05:53
Tom Brown
