Struggles with Show Introduction
00:00:01
Speaker
Okay, what we need, Britt, is some kind of a intro for our Wednesday night show, Hump Day Ha Ha's. What would you do for an intro?
00:00:16
Speaker
Hump Day Ha Ha's? I feel like...
00:00:23
Speaker
I don't know. What would you say to intro the show? What would you say to intro the show?
00:00:30
Speaker
Why are you putting me on the spot while you're recording me too, you motherfucker? I don't want to listen to the episode of the recording. Just do it. Tell me the intro of the show. We need an intro for the show, Britt.
00:00:41
Speaker
And go.
00:00:44
Speaker
la Welcome, everybody.
00:00:50
Speaker
can't do this with just you. Welcome, and everybody, to what? and Welcome, everybody, to Hump Day Ha Ha's. We're here for some laughter and fun times and chillax.
00:01:06
Speaker
Hope everybody's having a great night. Here with Michael and we got Brittany. Let's go. Let's have some fun with some comedy. Boom. I think that might work.
00:01:20
Speaker
My favorite part about that intro, Britt, is how confused you look and sound when I go, pumped it, ha-ha's. Pumped it, ha-ha's. Like a German shepherd that hears something know from a distance.
00:01:33
Speaker
and til your head I love that intro. We'll fix that and change it a little bit. i thought Yeah, that didn't go as planned. I thought it was going to be the obvious one.
00:01:45
Speaker
No, no, no, no. Because that doesn't mention you at all. I'm not taking you out of the equation. That's for Friday nights. Okay. This is our show. Friday night my show. So, yeah, and I'm going youre never going to cut you out and make you feel less. You are my partner in this.
00:02:01
Speaker
Like it or not. What up, everybody? Say hello, Brittany. Hello, everybody. I'm supposed to say hello, Brittany.
00:02:12
Speaker
Hi, Brittany. but This is everybody.
00:02:18
Speaker
Yeah, so we're here talking about comedy. Again, gamity.
Defining Comedy and Personal Preferences
00:02:26
Speaker
You mentioned you wanted to talk about the definition of comedy. Yeah, so I looked up the definition of comedy. It's kind of basic, you know. It's kind of straightforward. yeah ah It's professional entertainment consisting of jokes and hysterical sketches intended to make people laugh.
00:02:49
Speaker
Wow. Who would have fucking thought that. That's accurate. That's very accurate. And I'm glad you did that. I was going to do the same thing. Good job, Britt. Great minds think alike. And so do we. Yeah, yeah so I... Hey... yeah the
00:03:11
Speaker
What's his name again? um I'm pronouncing it Yolksey. I have no idea. yeah If you feel free to correct that, Yolksey. I'm probably going to keep one of you because that's what it looks like to me.
00:03:24
Speaker
My brain just keeps going to axolotl for some reason. I don't know why. It goes to what? Axolotl. Like those little like fishy things that like smile and they have like the little... Oh, yeah, dude.
00:03:38
Speaker
I used to have one. and It was so cool. These things are creepy. They're the missing ones. They're freaking cute. What are you talking about? Let me patch. I'm blind in one eye. afterter That explains the Potter picture.
00:03:52
Speaker
Oh, okay. know who it is now. Okay. That that is someone I know. I'm starting to think that my wife must be blind in both eyes because she married me.
00:04:05
Speaker
I was sort of kind of with that person for a little while. What Rex? I think he's asking you.
00:04:17
Speaker
Did you shave? ah a little bit, yeah. I noticed you got less stubble today. Yeah. I felt like it was a new day, sunny.
00:04:30
Speaker
I just shaved a little bit. Good call. I didn't do my legs. so I wasn't going to ask.
00:04:43
Speaker
So what's your definition of comedy, Britt?
00:04:47
Speaker
Well, I mean, basically that. of Making me laugh. I like dry, dark comedy. Really. That explains why you like me.
00:04:59
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, shit. Did I just out you? Did you not want people to know? know. What the fuck, dude? I don't... Fuck this guy. And his poof ball hat.
00:05:11
Speaker
yeah I know. I kind of like your hat. Well, haven't turned around backwards. I'm not shelling for any companies, but that's what I found on road.
00:05:27
Speaker
That's what you say. and drove Amish for years, two vans, both Fords over 500,000 miles each. i so One died at and the other one died at
00:05:42
Speaker
that's impressive I paid for those vans and a house and a half. Yeah, no, we have Fords too. I have a Hyundai. Hyundai.
00:05:55
Speaker
Hyundai. So you're saying following basically with that? but what the process do what good ahead bla blaa wow well wow who um Comedy is something like I always can count on, you know, like when I'm looking at if I'm in a depressed mood or something currently, you know. Gotcha. The coldness is coming.
00:06:30
Speaker
um Winter is coming. But comedy is something that I've always like gone out to like oh movies, anything. I just like always direct myself to that.
00:06:44
Speaker
because you know, it releases the dopamine. yeah For me anyways, some people like comedy, many some people like thrillers, which I do, but I don't know. It's always been there for me.
00:07:00
Speaker
feel like I like making people happy too. Making people laugh makes me happy. So like that dopamine effect.
00:07:11
Speaker
It's like a ripple effect. So comedy has always been something like major in my life. Great answer. Me too. I've been a student comedy since I was young.
00:07:22
Speaker
And for me, the definition of comedy is my life's calling. Right. It's why I'm here. Whatever, i mean, besides my dad humping my mom, whatever made me was for this. Not this, but like the stage act.
00:07:37
Speaker
Right. When I'm on stage, i am home. That's my house. I live there. That's where I want to be forever. Also, i want to be the man in the box forever.
00:07:50
Speaker
Okay, so talking about like being on stage, I did want to ask you like, A big thing that I was wondering about, like, like stage work.
00:08:03
Speaker
Like, when you're on the stage and you're, like, body language, like, how you put it all together with your act. Because it's very important to, like, move. Because if you just stand there and just tell jokes, like, maybe some people can get away with that if they're awkward enough and funny enough, you know?
00:08:22
Speaker
But I feel like body language has, like, a huge part to do with that. there's I've always said there's more than one way to skin the comedy cat. No cats will be hurt during the ah taping of this episode.
00:08:35
Speaker
ah Except for that one, maybe. She's a little monster. oh Not everybody, but a lot of people do it very different ways. Like um in this area, I've been told by multiple other comedians, nobody does what I do.
00:08:51
Speaker
I stand, ah an old friend of mine, he would call it in the pocket. When I first started, Mike and Hen strolling all over the stage. People ah kept telling me it was distracting, it's distracting, it's distracting.
00:09:03
Speaker
I can thank my man, the chief, because he said, look, Remember this story? Tell that story. Stop writing jokes and just tell people how dumb you are. So that's what worked for me. I stopped writing and started just reporting on my idiocy. That's why
Importance of Body Language in Comedy
00:09:20
Speaker
I'm the professional idiot. Speaking of which, how do we get those things back up? du I'm trying to fucking figure it out. I know you're not watching because you don't care about us, but we're the redheaded stepchildren on the network.
00:09:33
Speaker
if you catch this on replay make sure you tell us how do i fix that because it's driving me nuts i want to have our uh little title things up too um oh yeah so what i do is mike in stand for the pretty much the entire show and uh i just stand there and talk like i'm talking to you right now for instance i just you know have my usual hand gestures things like that but when i'm talking about a character in a story I do my best to embody the character on stage as well.
00:10:05
Speaker
I was watching a really cool YouTube video about Jim Carrey earlier today. Let me go to my history and I'll tell you what that was. I highly recommend everybody check that out. It was really, really interesting, very informative.
00:10:17
Speaker
It was called The Awakening of Jim Carrey, Hollywood's Worst Nightmare. And it was really, really good. It talks about his up and coming, like how he came up, things like that, how he got discovered.
00:10:28
Speaker
And just ah the dog and pony show, the the horse shit that he found entertainment industry to be.
00:10:36
Speaker
And I found it really enlightening. Very cool. I love Jim Carrey. ah For a while there, I walked out. I didn't even watch the entire movie of The Mask. I'll be honest. It was so annoying. I couldn't stand it.
00:10:48
Speaker
I hated it I hated it. But that tells you like how good he did at acting. But that's like part of comedy is acting. is you know For some.
00:11:00
Speaker
Theater. For some. Not everybody. i mean says that There's so many
Humorous Prank Stories
00:11:05
Speaker
different ways to do it. like um I don't really thrive on one-liners. But some people that did, like Stephen Wright, the great Mitch Hedberg, one-liner after one-liner for one-liner.
00:11:18
Speaker
I couldn't do that. There's a local fellow out of Cleveland. I won't mention him by name. I like him as a person very much. But i could if I had to listen to him for an hour, tell one-liner after one-liner after one-liner, I would stab myself in the ears.
00:11:31
Speaker
okay yeah see those how are you you know They're funny, but it's just the way he delivers. I can't explain it. It's funny, but I couldn't listen to it for more than 15, maybe 20 minutes tops.
00:11:42
Speaker
Me, personally. I won't disparage what he does. He's very funny. People love him. ah It's just not my cup of tea. Yeah. liberty the guys different folks man They're the cable guy, not my cup of tea.
00:11:57
Speaker
But again, not everybody does exactly the same thing unless you're actually trying to do somebody else's thing, but with your spin on it. Correct. But I, yeah I find that disingenuous, but the way I changed my setup to just standing in there in the pocket was my man, chief. He's like, just be yourself, man.
00:12:18
Speaker
Just do what you usually do and you'll be fine. And if you're listening, bro, you were right. People respond to it. He actually talked the last time he was on and he was very, very intuitive and this appreciated his It's words. Yeah, that was a Friday night's movie night with Michael and friends. Yeah. One-on-one with the Jeep. If you didn't catch that, it's on the replay on the YouTube channel here of the network and on the Facebook channel on the network, all that stuff.
00:12:53
Speaker
Check it out. ba very Bang, bang, bang. What were you looking up, though? You said you were going to look up something. the awakeking of jim The Awakening of Jim Carrey, Hollywood's Worst Nightmare.
00:13:05
Speaker
it's It's a video I watched and it was outstanding. I highly recommend checking that out. that is Do you have questions? Please ask.
00:13:16
Speaker
It helps us a lot because Brittany can't generate enough questions and I don't want to do all the talking. What about crowd work? You know how feel about crowd work. You don't like it.
00:13:27
Speaker
Crowd work is for comedians who don't have enough material. That's my opinion. I just like getting people involved. Cause like, that's part of like what I said earlier, like making people happy. I feel like people want to be involved with it sometimes.
00:13:43
Speaker
Um, hey Hey Mandy, what's up girl? mander up ha I just feel like some people like to be involved and that's what makes it funnier.
00:13:56
Speaker
And, uh, Just roasting people on the fly is like kind of easy for me. Sometimes. We'll come out New Year's Eve when we roast Glick at the end of the show. Oh, dude. I have some shit. I was up all night. I couldn't sleep in some as a bitch.
00:14:15
Speaker
um I was thinking of some good shit, but a lot of it is too similar, so I need to like talk to him more so I can get some more material. Yeah.
00:14:27
Speaker
And I think some of us, we need to talk about what we're going to roast him on so we don't overlap jokes. okay You'll do it your way. I'll do it my way.
00:14:38
Speaker
Rob Coleman, who's headlining New Year's Eve. Yes. Eight o'clock, we're seating people. 830 sharp, we're starting the show on New Year's Eve, downtown Warren, Ohio. I don't have the flyer done yet. I was hoping to have that done today, but my wife does the flyers. She has a real job. She's busy woman, and she can't always be carrying me.
00:14:58
Speaker
She had to earn some money today, actually. So um I'll have that for next week for sure. But the great Rob Coleman, good friend of mine, the 2025 winner of the World Series of Comedy. And if you don't think that's a big deal, what the fuck are you doing here?
00:15:12
Speaker
Yeah, right, Mandy. One of those people is the Glick. I love him. I hate to love him. I love to hate him. ah I love to hate him. I hate to love him. It's a little bit both. little column a little column B. Great guys. Godfather, if you're on the network, love Glick.
00:15:27
Speaker
Because without him, I couldn't do what did. My big bro as well as you, Michael. You're my big bros. I'm the biggest bros. I'm the oldest.
00:15:40
Speaker
Yeah. Big in age number, small in penis light and length number. I don't need to know this. yeah They do. I want to make sure all the women out there don't try to, you know,
Comedy's Impact and Real-Life Experiences
00:15:50
Speaker
want me as as more than they already do anyway.
00:15:54
Speaker
Yeah.
00:15:58
Speaker
It's a level of sexual issues for weeks. ah If he had a nickname, it would be shoes. Short for issues. but You look in the dictionary where she has a picture of book right next to it.
00:16:16
Speaker
That's right. And then mine's right under it. oh I messed up. Ruin all your fun how? that's i don't ruin the fun of others i'm a joy and enhancer not a joy diminisher and that's kind of where i was going with that whole thing like for me for me the only audience involvement i want during my set laugh clap boo that's it if you feel you have to shout shit out never ever ever waste your money buying a ticket to my show because
00:16:52
Speaker
You're not paid. Nobody has paid a dollar to see any of you motherfucking yellers. So they don't want to hear you either. Let them enjoy their show like you're going to enjoy your show. And here's a secret, the unwritten, but largely unknown rule about comedy. All right. It's a total secret. I'm letting you all in on it right now.
00:17:10
Speaker
If you're there on a date at a comedy show, if the comedian is good and your gal's paying attention and enjoying herself, you just might get a BJ on the way home.
00:17:23
Speaker
true road down hello wall good to hear you brother ah appreciate you any questions girls wally not about goddamn lizards either yeah so how funny they may be no you know what i have seen some pretty funny lizards those weird frill ones that go up and run like crazy yeah like right now that kind of looks like a mini version of that thing from us not south park jurassic park what a lizard be
00:18:05
Speaker
i don't know and uh i don't really give a shit depends on the lizard i imagine crickets something comedians never want exactly and I think that's what he's getting to. Snakes with legs. That's funny.
00:18:24
Speaker
Lizards are just snakes with legs. Technically snakes are lizards, so reptiles. yeah Reptiles, lizards, are they different? and Never mind. No, no, it's a different show. Stay that for Wally on Mondays, guys.
00:18:40
Speaker
I read right around it, Mandy. Don't worry. So I've been um trying to get better with... ah segways like from joke to joke like literally i can't sleep at night sorry wally lizards are thursdays vroom vrooms vroom vrooms are mondays both wally shows check them out guys there's lots of replays on the network check those out guys you need to write this shit down dude i'll just forget where i put it
00:19:16
Speaker
No derailing. The ADD train.
00:19:23
Speaker
That is very true. Oops. It is an ADD train here. Sorry, I'm doing it too. Well, it's all good. It's your show too. You can do whatever you want.
00:19:35
Speaker
that that I don't know. Make up your own words. Make up your own words if you like. Because as we all know, words are hard. Currently I am not. The words are.
00:19:48
Speaker
but yeah I feel like, okay, going back to the body language thing. i so I watch a lot of stand-up. And I don't want to steal anything, obviously.
00:20:01
Speaker
of course. But a it is helpful to watch how people act. But I think it's your show, push anybody you want to know. Yeah, bitch. Sorry.
00:20:18
Speaker
um Watching different people's body languages and seeing how I relate to those different comedians. like I feel like, because I watched yours too, your promos.
00:20:31
Speaker
It had me cracking up. I'm not going to lie. i hate to admit it, but you had me fucking laughing. It was a lot to me because that that promo was cut six months in the comedy. I was six months for my first time I had that cut.
00:20:46
Speaker
Yeah, the beginning ones were a little rough because of the laughter and the cheering in the background, I told you already. And couldn't. Well, that was actually shot by a professional video artist.
00:21:01
Speaker
The other one was on my phone with ah Hillbilly Lindsey in the background. Oh, oh. Josh Fyatt. Ding, ding, ding. Oh, no, she's on it. Look, we dated.
00:21:12
Speaker
we're not anymore. I don't want to hate she' up it was just It's over. Yeah, we don't have we don't have to get into it It was just hard to watch those videos. just Well, again, they're not pun right they're not professional. And ah the very first one is is awful, I think.
00:21:31
Speaker
Just because the sound is so bad. i don't know what happened with that particular one. Oh, I remember. I didn't know how to hold the mic. I'm going to my hand. I know how to hold the mic. But where, where to hold the mic? Yeah, I didn't know where to hold the mic.
00:21:46
Speaker
And I'm so too far from it. So it's not going through the speakers as well. yeah very My very second time on stage got better, but I think it was third or fourth time up when I realized if I don't have the that microphone sitting right there, touching my chin, I'm talking to myself in the front row. Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:07
Speaker
ah box I mean, I heard it it was still funny. I just like, I couldn't get past the chewing and laughter. That might've been me chewing. I don't care. ah i was kidding.
00:22:24
Speaker
I'm chewing a fat, but, um you like
Evolution of Comedic Styles
00:22:30
Speaker
that, the beginning part, that was when, uh, I was writing material and, or just talking about what happened that day. Hmm.
00:22:37
Speaker
before I was really knew what I was doing. I knew what I was doing. I was stage telling material, but I hadn't found my voice yet. I suggest everybody go check out Michael's promo, though, because it is actually quite funny.
00:22:53
Speaker
I hate to admit it. You're a loser. ah Yes, I am. But the biggest loser, Stu, she married me. want to pop this in there.
00:23:06
Speaker
You know what I can do? Hold on. Stand by, everybody. I'm going to mute myself for a moment.
00:23:16
Speaker
Bang, bang, bang, diggy, diggy. I don't know why I'm singing this song, Vicky.
00:23:25
Speaker
um don't even like that song.
00:23:32
Speaker
Oh, why'd I do that? Okay. I'm doing this now? Yeah. one
00:23:48
Speaker
dont and sleep for as I I almost ended That would have been bad for everybody.
00:24:00
Speaker
Yeah, go check out his shit. know. Well, what I'll do is I think I remember how I did. How would you show me how do before you press this button?
00:24:12
Speaker
No, that's not the one. and This button, maybe. Nope, it's not that button either. Damn it. I want to share my screen so I can. Oh, here it is.
00:24:25
Speaker
No, not that one. Damn it. You can do it. would be better with this I know. I know.
00:24:40
Speaker
Also like Damn it that's not eater what's a pit I'm listening You have like your facial shit Like other people have their face Shit like when you have like pull your eyes Or whatever Like sometimes people just use their Face to make people laugh Or whatever or they have like A signature laugh You know
00:25:06
Speaker
Like I have my snort. I'm snorting cocks.
00:25:12
Speaker
So
00:25:15
Speaker
maybe I could use that. ah You're looking like you're trying really hard right now. That's the problem. of trying and not succeeding. How the hell do I share my screen? Do you remember how? i oh here it is.
00:25:30
Speaker
i think. screen. Boom. share screen boom We're going to
00:25:40
Speaker
You can go to the custom layout and put us to the side where you share the screen. yeah Can you see it? Yep.
00:25:51
Speaker
Excellent. I'm going to play it for everybody and just in case they're interested since you talked it up so much. You just want to show up. That's not accurate.
00:26:01
Speaker
I just want to. It is really funny. I love it. I watched it twice. in fact Is it up?
00:26:15
Speaker
No.
00:26:19
Speaker
It's not playing.
00:26:24
Speaker
Click on it. a
00:26:29
Speaker
oh
00:26:34
Speaker
This is almost as funny as it is. over I drive the Amish for my day job. So as you see me bomb up here, don't worry, I'm still eating. I got it i got work.
00:26:47
Speaker
But one of the weirdest things I ever did for the Amish is I take my big, big-ass, super rapey-looking van to drive their kids to school.
00:26:58
Speaker
They don't even come out with them and walk them with it. It's like, go on, get on with the stranger. That was pretty weird. But the very first kid on the very first day, he gets up on the bus and he's farting around for way too long with the seat belt.
00:27:13
Speaker
So go around and say, hey man, do you need a hand? And just as I get the end of the word out, I notice he's missing from here down. Hey, you sick bastards. That kid, that's a real kid. I'm not making this kid up. That kid exists. You sick sucker.
00:27:30
Speaker
Anyway, you can't take that back. It's embarrassing. You can't unring that bell. But this golden child, he looked right at me. He saw the panic in my eyes. He said, yeah, I actually couldn't really use a hand.
00:27:43
Speaker
That kid knows how to laugh. Gotta love it. but I drove the workers to work a bunch of times and this one cat on one of the work crews, I got wind that he's terrified of mice and rats and stuff and this one day I was feeling especially ornery.
00:27:59
Speaker
I went to the donut shop, I got a dozen donuts, I got six powdered in one box and I got six assorted in another box. And my next stop was at the pet store and I got one of those white feeder mice.
00:28:13
Speaker
and I threw it in with those white donuts, and I get back to the job site, and I give the one dude his assorted donuts, and I give Scared a Mice Guy the white donuts. He pops the box, and he's like, ooh, these look good. Then that mouse popped his head out of one of the holes. He's like, ah!
00:28:30
Speaker
Up in the air go all those donuts. Everybody but me has no idea what's going on right now. This cat, Scooby-Doo, his feet did not touch the ground. Halfway down the driveway before anyone realizes this white mouse is crawling across the floor. They immediately pick up on it. One guy grabs it. He's chasing them down the street with his mouse.
00:28:50
Speaker
The Amish, they love a prank. That's the best prank I ever played.
00:28:56
Speaker
But I like driving the Amish because it's easy work. I like sitting on ass. It's good. you're getting older, I'm 45. My body's breaking down in a lot of ways. One of the weirdest ways is I used to know when I was done peeing,
00:29:09
Speaker
Now I think I'm done. Give it the shake, give it the zip, and anywhere from two to 30 minutes later, now I'm done.
00:29:22
Speaker
So, I'm at one of my favorite bars. And I'm coming out of the bathroom. Out of corner of my eye, see my buddy Jeff approaching. I go back to my seat, he comes walking right by me. say, Jeff, what's going on?
00:29:36
Speaker
And Jeff just ghosts me, like, phew, keep on walking. i was like, I'm not gonna have that. Pow! Smacked him right on the ass. I said, hey, Jeff, what's going on? hey And then not Jeff turned around to look at me.
00:29:55
Speaker
So i just said, hey man, nice hustle. Because everybody knows if you've ever played organized sports, as long as you say nice hustle or good game, you can play all the grab ass you want.
00:30:07
Speaker
And then I was done peeing.
00:30:16
Speaker
So my age, it's kind of weird to try to get into dating situations. Everything's on the internet now. Plenty of fish, that's a popular one of my friends call it. Plenty of fatties.
00:30:28
Speaker
On occasion. You know, I always thought that was a funny name, plenty of fish. Plenty of fish, because they keep getting thrown back.
00:30:41
Speaker
And that's what you find there. All the rejects. I have a degree in secondary education. And when I was doing my student teaching, I was doing that in an urban environment in a lot of my classes. I was the minority.
00:30:55
Speaker
Didn't bother me, have no problem with that. But one thing that did bother me is all these minority kids would tell me all the time, you look like Leonidas from the movie 300. You look like Leonidas from the movie 300.
00:31:06
Speaker
Now, Gerard Butler is a very handsome man, he's well put together. And I'm also white. um End of comparison, little racists.
00:31:20
Speaker
All us white devils look alike. So on my last day there of student teaching, I gave them what they wanted. I said, you guys want to hear me do the line from the movie? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, do line from the movie. So I told them, this is Sparta.
00:31:39
Speaker
They did not see that coming. In an unrelated story, I do not teach. My name is Michael Covenaver. Thanks for laughing with me, guys.
00:31:55
Speaker
Fucking... For all you were watching and laughing, thanks for laughing with me. Just so great. I love it. I love it. But that's, again, super old. um That was, like i said, six months in.
00:32:07
Speaker
that was from 2019, think. Yeah, 2019. Yeah. i think yeah two thousand nineteen It is weird seeing... It's just very, very different now. It's evolved because working your minutes. I would say you got to work your minutes gotta work your minutes. Every minute you spend on stage as comedian is more important than college.
00:32:26
Speaker
Right. Because that's where you learn. I've been like sitting here by myself and i I'll tie myself while I'm doing my jokes just so I could because like I have to think about like if people laugh I have that pause laugh break laugh break yeah um so I've been practicing with that and I'm like damn I need some more material but five minutes is longer you think it is it is when you're green five minutes is way more than you think so
00:33:06
Speaker
my recommendation anybody starting out or even if you're not starting out, if you've, if you've got to do say five minutes, prepare for 10 or 15, try to prepare for 10 or 15 because that's what I'm saying. I want to do more. So yeah.
00:33:20
Speaker
Like if I do a headline set or a feature set, features generally 20 to 30 minutes, I'll prepare for 40, 45 because if I start a chunk and it doesn't work early, I bail out of that chunk and go to the next bit.
00:33:34
Speaker
Right. so I got stuff that just works together. like ah You were telling me. That was a great example of no segues. Right.
00:33:44
Speaker
Or completely unrelated material. However, that was the best five minutes of material I had six months in. And it cracks me up. I appreciate that. But again, a lot of that stuff.
00:33:56
Speaker
o That's the... done peeing is a staple um that's what call it different it's different now too i it's evolved it's better um it's expanded uh into my 50s whole new whole new thing about being peeing in my 50s so if you like urine come but see me he's like voldemorty can still not be named that's right uh
00:34:28
Speaker
Oh, damn. Bus driver, I call it need a hand. That runs still, but I don't haven't changed that at all because it's funny enough the way it is. And believe it or not, I don't care. It's 100% true story, exactly how it happened.
00:34:44
Speaker
That really was the very first kid on the very first day drove on my school bus. He was pissed around with that seatbelt forever. And, yeah. Actually, at that has a couple little things added to it, but it's not untrue stuff. it's It's a really beautiful bit. I love that bit.
00:34:59
Speaker
um
Comedy as a Passion and Career
00:35:00
Speaker
Let's see. wonder he knows sign language. What's that? I wonder if he knows sign language. Who? The kid.
00:35:11
Speaker
He's not deaf. He was missing an arm. I didn't know. Sorry, I didn't know.
00:35:20
Speaker
That was a bad bit. yeah it You need both hands to do sign language. hadn't figured where you were going with it But I wanted to shut it down. That was fucked up. Boom!
00:35:35
Speaker
Let's see. The second part of the Amish stuff. Oh, no, that was the that that was the prank joke. I don't usually tell that one. But, again, that's another one. Happened just like that. But I found that it works better if I rearrange the order of things and change up a little bit. It's still the same story. It's just told in a different way, and it works better.
00:35:54
Speaker
But I'd pull that one out kind of rarely because it's not too often I do the Amish stuff unless I'm near here. because again Not everybody can relate to the Amish thing. I can because live in Pennsylvania currently. so And when I say, ah when I do that but that opening for that bit, the Paris, they call the city of love.
00:36:13
Speaker
Middlefield, Ohio must be the most organic city on earth. ah I changed it to Lancaster, Pennsylvania when I do PA shows.
00:36:21
Speaker
Lancaster? You said you like research areas or whatever. That's something didn't have to research. I knew it was like the Amish home.
00:36:32
Speaker
Been there well many a times. Not Jeff. That's blasted just the way it is because, ah again, that actually happened. I don't tell jokes. I tell stories from my life about how big of an idiot I am. So I'm the, all caps, professional idiot. The professional idiot.
00:36:50
Speaker
And so that's your type of comedy. And, like, there are always stretches to some things. And, I mean, I i like to go based off of my life, too, because I've had quite a while life that, you know.
00:37:05
Speaker
I've told you a lot of stories. It's kind of like you get into comedy sometimes by being an idiot, by being wild, by not wanting to do whatever other people do. I mean, I've never wanted to work.
00:37:19
Speaker
I'm lazy. Sitting on ass is exactly for me. I mean, I can work. I will work hard, but I prefer not to and I choose not to until I absolutely freaking have to. But right now, with my situation with my mother, I cannot work, really, unless I find overnight work or something like that.
00:37:37
Speaker
But then when am i going to see my wife? Yeah. So like I said before, starting comedy was the best choice of my life. And I've never been more poor in my life.
00:37:49
Speaker
However, I've never been happier. right
00:37:55
Speaker
I held on to my house, almost got foreclosed on four, maybe five times, maybe six times, but I found a way to make money doing what I love to do. And i it's it's what you love to do. It makes you happy. that yeah Free unsolicited advice for anyone who's listening. Anybody who's listening, this is the best advice you'll ever get in your life.
00:38:16
Speaker
Figure out what you love to do. And then figure out how to get paid to do it. Because then you'll never work a day in your life. Yeah. So fucking cliche to say. But it's true.
00:38:27
Speaker
I'm living it. It is super true. Like, this doesn't work at all. Unless I'm on the show. And you have a goddess of a wife. So, like, you're living it up, dude. I'm happy for you.
00:38:42
Speaker
I'm happy for you. Thank you. Oh yeah. Anybody can do it. Anybody can do what they would love to do. You just have to have the balls to do it. Or the tips for a lady.
00:38:52
Speaker
Say thank you in sign language. I'm sorry. Yeah. I think you just to be really proud of you, but never mind. Fuck you.
00:39:11
Speaker
I get that a lot. but I'm sure. one to thing For me, like I love talking to people. I do. I enjoy meeting people. and um It drives my wife crazy.
00:39:23
Speaker
Okay. That's what I wanted to ask you next. Anytime I've been with somebody, i usually... like have a phone call coming in, but I'm not going answer it.
00:39:36
Speaker
I usually... like fuck not Answer your call. On there. Let's do it. It's Terry. She's funny as shit, too. Oh, damn. Let me go. Put it on speakerphone. Hey, Terry.
00:39:51
Speaker

00:39:57
Speaker
yeah Why would you fucking do that? This is great. This is good stuff. What are you calling for, Terry? what's going on What's going on? Nothing.
00:40:10
Speaker

00:40:31
Speaker

00:40:43
Speaker
come watch hold on yeah hold on listen listen to michael really quick i find it funny you said you're going to try to get some
Interruption: Humorous Phone Call
00:40:50
Speaker
because you have a vagina that is all you need to get some i know right i'm in control right you know okay just yes you know what's really funny you know what's really funny It's because I have a vagina. my robe at the store costs $75. But if I have a penis, it's only 25. Huh. Pajama. Groves make so much money in general.
00:41:21
Speaker
I can't believe they can't pay more for a robe because no real man wears one. Okay. All right. i'm go Good luck with the the sex. ah Yeah. sorry.
00:41:37
Speaker
but i'm sorry I'm live right now. I'll give you a real call back today. yeah See you later. Thank you. You like on your adventures?
00:41:50
Speaker
Quest for cock.
00:41:57
Speaker
Sorry about that. Why? It was an interesting experiment and i told you to do it. so She's ah basically of my main mother figure her son was my best friend i graduated with him yeah but she was also my for a little bit there allegedly thought it'd be funny to answer for phone calls just to see what would happen uh wasn't as good as i'd hoped because she wanted to be up she likes to talk a lot so that's why i was worried about it
00:42:34
Speaker
I would have told you, all right, hang it up. Okay, I got to go. No, hang it up. I got go. Just hang it up. That's what I do. Sometimes, see, communication is key, okay? This is a bit I used to want. I don't really do it much anymore.
00:42:47
Speaker
And communication is so important. But the thing is, like, my ex-girlfriend, she would say, you're so rude. Because I would tell her, listen, I don't want to listen to this anymore. i don't want I don't want to hear any more of this.
00:42:59
Speaker
She said, that's so rude. I said, no, what's rude is you holding me hostage with this terrible story. It's going nowhere, obviously, about people at work I don't know, and I probably never want to know.
00:43:11
Speaker
So, shut it down. I've actually told this one dude, he was just talking and talking about how processed foods make you sick and make your body weak and this that, and the other thing.
00:43:23
Speaker
And I finally said, Jimmy, I'm going to walk faster to get away from the sound of your voice. Or I can keep walking with you and you can shut the fuck up. He looks at me like i had a sore arm growing out of my fucking forehead.
00:43:36
Speaker
Those are two different things. Listening to your girlfriend's day at work and listening to somebody talk about processed foods and shit is kind of different.
00:43:47
Speaker
If it's boring, it's boring. I don't care what the topic is.
00:43:54
Speaker
A buddy mine named John. Not John Hershberger. He's amazing. I won't name him by last name, but... ah I told him openly, I was like, look, dude, I'm going to walk away because I don't want to hear you anymore.
00:44:04
Speaker
And just turn my back on and walk away. This conversation is terrible. I don't want to hear it. And I walk.
Life's Comedic Elements
00:44:10
Speaker
And people just look at me like, what the fuck? There are a couple people out there like that.
00:44:17
Speaker
That I, we know. That's all I'm going to say. you like it? to noon yeah i more lifes to my friend do you like it I mean, sure. It's a neat backlight, but you need more face light.
00:44:32
Speaker
I know. i other the I need another lamp. i have to
00:44:38
Speaker
When you first popped into the studio tonight, yeah, that is terrifying. yeah It looks like a horror like a horror killer. Like a horror movie killer. Yeah.
00:44:48
Speaker
It's the right month for it. Yeah. I do. oh That's what I want to do for the movie night. I want to do my... creepy makeup that I do for the movie night and pop in.

Speaker
Well, I got one more movie night for sure yeah this month, and that's coming up this Friday. Because next Thursday, ah i will i just um I'm not available for a few days.
00:45:18
Speaker
So I don't think it will be a Friday the 31st show. But if there is, will be... be from an undisclosed location that no one is going watch because it's fucking halloween yeah i'm not gonna be there i don't think maybe i'll pop in for a second but now again there's no guarantee it'll happen i'll probably do a replay or something uh If you want to pop in Friday night for a little bit, you can.
00:45:44
Speaker
I've got, ah I'm pretty sure Bill from another shot podcast will be here to talk horror movies with me. And I've got a very, very special guest who will remain unnamed for now.
00:45:56
Speaker
But the network knows him. Big friend of the network. Great friend of mine. That should be enough hint for anybody who's a regular watcher. video with me We'll see if I'm there or not. Cause I start work tomorrow again.
00:46:11
Speaker

See that little number up there?
00:46:38

00:47:03
Speaker

00:47:09
Speaker
The fourth. whatever It's not funny at all. ah What's your favorite horror movie that is an accidental comedy?
00:47:23
Speaker
like It wasn't meant to be funny, but it's hilarious. That's funny because I will i will say blah, blah, blah, blah. yes Nope, that's not it. um the The one with the the new one starts with the T. Thank Brittany. Where's the hub?
00:47:47
Speaker
The one with the clown. Oh, Terrifier. Terrifier, yeah. They're not meant to be funny?
00:47:56
Speaker
I don't know, are they? I think they're fucking hilarious. I have not seen one yet. But I've been told I need to see them. ah I fell asleep during the last one.
00:48:08
Speaker
yeah I can fall asleep during anything. on and tv On TV. My favorite, I don't think it was meant to be funny, but it is so bad.
00:48:19
Speaker
i mean, it's awesomely bad. Night of the Demons. 1988. Yeah, you're not wrong. this The girl puts the they're now The demon lady puts the lipstick into her nipple and it just disappears.
00:48:34
Speaker
Hilarious. And the one jock dude says, one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Eat a bowl of fuck. What the hell is that even supposed to mean? It was the dumbest movie, but I couldn't stop laughing all the way through it. Fucking hilarious.
00:48:48
Speaker
A really good runner-up is ah The Velocipastor. Velociraptor. He's a preacher. He turns into what de like a Velociraptor. It's awesomely awesome. Bad.
00:49:00
Speaker
Bad, bad, I haven't seen that, but sounds bad. um What about teeth? I may have seen that one. That's where the girl's vagina
Creating a Comedy Movie
00:49:10
Speaker
has teeth. That doesn't sound funny at all.
00:49:20
Speaker
You're like, that's actually terrifying. Yes, yes it is. The girl can make vagina. Yeah. Teeth. if Yeah. The girl has a sharp teeth in her vagina.
00:49:35
Speaker
Yeah. I have nothing to say about that. Idle Hands. You ever seen that one with Devin Sawa? yeah Do what? Idle Hands with Devin Sawa. You ever see that one?
00:49:46
Speaker
Sounds familiar, but i can't recall. It was another pretty awesomely bad one. Not good.
00:49:53
Speaker
ah Oh, this is going to be pretty. You're not a mogwai. That's what I was saying. Took the words right out of my mouth.
00:50:10
Speaker
No, I didn't mean to do that.
00:50:14
Speaker
If you were to have a budget what's what what would you write for a script for a movie would it be comedy horror comedy horror sci-fi horror what would you do oh i mean comedy always has to be part of it for sure straight
00:50:38
Speaker
forward but comedy many horror would that i wouldn't mind doing that and then the budget you're not fucking know As that if you had a budget. I'm not offering you one. I'm broke.
00:50:52
Speaker
If I had all the money in the world, you know what? No, if I wanted to to make it like kind of terrible, I don't need that much money. You know? So you don't have to have a big budget to make a good movie.
00:51:05
Speaker
Yeah, right. I don't know. I haven't really looked up.
00:51:13
Speaker
how much it costs. The question is not how much money do you need? I'm not again. Yeah, all I need is freaking camcorder.
00:51:23
Speaker
I'm good to go. home
00:51:27
Speaker
You said camcorder in an age where our phones have better cameras than any camcorder. Well, see, that's what makes it funnier and better. And there are four rings movies.
00:51:42
Speaker
available on Amazon and other different streaming services that were shot entirely on phones entirely. What's your point? The point is you don't need a big budget to make a decent movie, right? You need, you need decent anchors or compelling characters, a decent story, and you just need good editing, that type of thing. Special effects have to be great.
00:52:08
Speaker
You need a green screen. not necessarily it depends on what you're doing i do know some abandoned places i could go to
00:52:22
Speaker
that was weird cool fellas make a good impression or you're dead the black widow don and
00:52:39
Speaker
oh no apparentlyly Back to stage prepped. Sorry, folks. I thought she would have more to say about making a movie of her own. Sorry. I'm like they're just like, it's um'm in my head now about it. Yeah.
00:53:00
Speaker
And my man, the chief is going to come on soon, but you got to give us a video. Like to share with him. He wants it before the show we can break it down and one walk us through it.
00:53:11
Speaker
Then he'll do the same with one of my old videos. Okay. That's what I've been like. That's what's been keeping me up at night too. Cause I was like, I know I need to make a video. That's why I've been practicing.
00:53:26
Speaker
It comes to worse. Just kick me off and. snatty can do the rest of it. Like Wednesdays, I know there's an open mic in this area.
00:53:37
Speaker
Tuesdays, there's one. um Like, you get stage time and you can get some stuff recorded. Or we can do this and can tell jokes to me and Sue and maybe a couple other people I'll over or something like that. Right. um I was talking to Courtney about talking to the owner of the pub here and doing an open night.
00:53:59
Speaker
That'd be cool. I have all this sign today so have all the sound and everything. I'll drive my ass over there with a truck full of other comedians and we'll do your mic and we'll ah blow the doors off the place and you'll have a start.
00:54:14
Speaker
After that, it's on you. man um Buying your own equipment is not that much. My original best one I think was $600 for a mic, two PA speakers, and a mixer.
00:54:26
Speaker
and already have a mic.
00:54:29
Speaker
Do you have a way to make it? jack and ye I have an amp. But I don't have like a mixer thing. Well, the as I think I said mixer. It sort of is, it's more like an amp.
00:54:46
Speaker
The amp feeds the speakers and then you plug that into a wall and bam, you're ready to go. I have all that.
00:54:55
Speaker
I have a hand-me-down amp, too. I've been slowly but surely ipressing unimpressing improving my ah equipment and shit, i my dad's amazing My dad's a musician and has his own like our had is own garage band, so I have all that shit.
00:55:13
Speaker
He has that stuff. It's not your stuff. There's things you can call your own. unless you see your mind they are hand-me-downs yeah but hey it got me my start yeah nobody taught me how to do what i do i just learned it on my own and uh it's been a rough ride at points it's like comedy's not an easy life be prepared for a lot of disappointments a lot of people that are going to disappoint you and a lot of bad spots
00:55:47
Speaker
man um I'm happy to have you, dude. You've been good. No, I wish I hadn't been when I was coming up. Nobody wanted to help.
00:55:59
Speaker
But I... that okay Here's the weirdest thing from my start. ah My first run through was even starting to get on stage. I was doing the funniest amateur comedian in Ohio contest.
00:56:10
Speaker
I had no expectations. I just wanted to do comedy. I made it into the finals my first time through. The second time I was going through, these people have been doing it way longer than me are asking me for advice. And I found that super weird.
00:56:23
Speaker
Yeah. Well, that just means you're good at what you do. um Yeah, but I didn't feel I was good enough to be giving advice yet. Because I still, I didn't have it together right away. It took took a while.
00:56:35
Speaker
And it took the jeef. If it weren't for the jeef, big shout out to the man. I would not be where I am now. Which is here on the podcast making nothing. Thanks, jeef. Thanks, jeef. yeah No, for real though, big thanks to Jeef and he can help you. Like, again, want to explain exactly how how he does it. I want him to do that. But um' without him, I would have so much dead spots in my act, like lulls.
00:57:05
Speaker
Because I am a good storyteller, but doing it on stage is a lot different because I don't know people already and things like that. One one thing you can do to help your ah audience engagement...
00:57:16
Speaker
Get there early to any show you're going to do. Talk to audience members. You don't have to talk yourself up. Just talk to them. And just, so you know, are you excited about coming? that That's everything. Just get them talking.
00:57:27
Speaker
And that already engages them. And you did that. So they're always going to want to pay attention to you when they see you up there because you're going a good impression on them. You're easily easy to like. And it's going to help your sets a lot just by showing up early, making friends with the audience early.
00:57:44
Speaker
And it doesn't matter. As long as like, first let's see, you go on six on an open mic. The first five people are eating absolute ass. That might be a little tough unless they're still there. And sometimes it's called walking in the room. People are so bad that people just want to leave. It is what it is. And it happens.
00:58:03
Speaker
And if you're one of those guys or gals, just keep at it or quit now, but it doesn't happen overnight. No, this is something that I've always wanted to do. I've,
00:58:15
Speaker
like upsetting people that it's like
Pursuing Comedy as a Career
00:58:20
Speaker
also it's in Ohio so uh if I if I totally bomb I never have to shit again you're not gonna no i know I know I'm not get that shit out of your head I know I'm not gonna bomb some jokes might not land for some people just because of different areas you know um Which is OK by me.
00:58:48
Speaker
That's fine. But if you talk about yourself, it automatically just it connects you to the audience. If you talk about yourself, you don't have to do that. I'm just saying it does help. It it really helped me a lot because I wasn't like all can connect with you.
00:59:04
Speaker
And yeah if you talk about yourself in a candid way, people just like that. And again, my stories are real. but Not 100% on all the stories, but like that Amish kid, 100% real.
00:59:17
Speaker
um Not Jeff, 100% real. Done peeing, sadly, 100% real. I love that one.
00:59:31
Speaker
Your penis will betray you. Oh, my God. That one got me. I almost peed myself when I heard that. That runs pretty much the same. It's got some stuff added to it since then.
00:59:45
Speaker
That's all, again, true. And now I've got an addendum to that story about in my 50s. Chris Technician, what up, dude? Just talking some comedy. Chris Technician.
01:00:02
Speaker
It is hump day. We're here for the ha ha. Just talking some comedy. Any questions you got about comedy, Chris? You're pretty funny yourself for a Canadian.
01:00:16
Speaker
Why do you do that? You can say hey to them live. Okay. I have more comments. When we do live stuff like this, the comments are gone when the live's done.
01:00:30
Speaker

Speaker
Outstanding doc. Outstanding doc. Talks about how he came up and everything and just, it's a good introduction to the struggles of being a comedian.
01:01:26
Speaker
but But I'm not Jim Carrey. I want to be Jim Carrey. I don't do what Jim Carrey does. If I do impressions, it's of the people I know that are in the stories I tell. And that's part of stagecraft. Like you were saying, like, um,
Promotion of New Year's Eve Comedy Show

Speaker
don't tell them, show them. Right. Do a voice for the character. Do, you know, the character has mannerisms or whatever. Right. That's what was saying. It's like kind of like theater, which I did a lot of too.
01:01:54
Speaker
Oh, yeah. i wanted to tell you, you had improv friends, right? Yes. Talk to them. Invite them on. I'd love to see them and talk up to to them about improv. That's not something I do. Yeah, have I think it's good, but I'm going to try. So, I don't know.
01:02:08
Speaker
I have a couple friends that I've been talking to that might come on. Females as well. So, that would be helpful. I don't know. Might?
01:02:20
Speaker
Might come on? What? Yeah, because they they seem like they're nervous.
01:02:28
Speaker
They'll do improv on a live crowd. No, right? That's what the fuck I said. said plus you're already their friend. They're just going to be talking to Yeah, I don't know. and Like, it's been a while.
01:02:41
Speaker

01:03:12
Speaker
And Chris, you're still listening, buddy. Get yourself a ah passport. Come down to the States for New Year's Eve. At the Underground Lounge. The beautiful Underground Lounge in not so beautiful downtown Warrn, Ohio.

Speaker
We're doing a live show. I'm a host. We've got Brittany here as our special guest. ah One of my best comedy friends out there. ah Tyler Snodgrass will be there as a feature.
01:03:38
Speaker
I might co-feature with him, but I asked asked ah Dave Ruggiero. I kind of forgot about him and i thought about him. I said, oh man, I've got to get that guy. You've never heard of him, but he's one of the funniest motherfuckers you've never heard of.
01:03:50
Speaker
the dude is killer i was so impressed when saw him he was funny as hell and he does like kind of what i do he just tells stuff out of his life it's already i liked him for that but at the same time the shit was good it was good man he's funny he might be there i'm still trying to get him i i don't know what he's hemming and hawing about but The headliner, the 2025, that's this year folks, 2025, World Series of Comedy winner, Robert Coleman Jr. will be there.
01:04:19
Speaker
And he's headlining and he's a killing machine. Once the show's over, once the live show's over in person at the show, we're gonna pop up the network and we're gonna do a brief ah ah nonsensical nonsense on a Friday.
01:04:34
Speaker
no on a wednesday because here he was on wednesday a brief nonsense go nonsense for a little bit and then we're gonna live cast the roast of glick the god that gonna get his ass beat up he gonna get lit yeah it's gonna be fun he's like i'm gonna clap i'm gonna you'll be shouting stuff back it's like no you gotta wait your turn that's the thing about a roast you gotta to sit there and eat all the shit we feed you then you come up at the end and clap back so just yeah I got him a pimp chalice to hold while he's up there.
01:05:06
Speaker
ah I'm working on a, like a throne chair of some sort. I was thinking like Sasquatchy. yeah and The Sasquatchy part will be him. Yeah.
01:05:20
Speaker
So yeah, you definitely want to tune in New Year's Eve if you're not at a party or something. If you're, ah you know, like us, total losers.
01:05:30
Speaker
But that show will be worth every penny. Ticket price will be $20. I'll probably do a special two for $35. There will be a midnight champagne toast to celebrate the new year and bring in 2026, the year of the network. Nonsensical network.
01:05:50
Speaker
um um So without any more questions from the chatterbox, unless you've got a question, oh, oha You said to things that bring you into comedy.
01:06:02
Speaker
Did I ask you yet what made you want to do stand-up? ah I don't know. I guess, like, basically, my dad's always been goofy. He reminds me of Robin Williams, and my grandpa reminds me of Forrest Gump. So, I don't know. I just kind of... Just like comedy. It makes me happy.
01:06:25
Speaker
And it just brings me joy. It should. that's If you don't love what you're doing, you're not doing the right thing. Right. And then just like talking to people in general, like doing radio and stuff like that has always caught my interest. You've been radio?
01:06:45
Speaker
i No. I've always wanted to. That's why I asked. I've always wanted to, but like comedy is like really where I like land on because I enjoy laughing.
01:06:58
Speaker
and this guy video You're being broadcast. You're talking to nobody you can see other than this. Sadly to you. ah
01:07:12
Speaker
That's a face.
01:07:16
Speaker
Don't screenshot that. Please. myself If I knew how, I would have. Somebody out there is watching though. Clip it. Clip it. no it's either her so face or her oh face i don't know which could be both i don't know i don't know how to answer that question i just love laughter and bringing happiness and joy so that's what brought me to comedy and talking to people it wasn't a chase of fame no not all smart because the odds of that happening are really really slim and i'm not talking about just you i mean i came into comedy with a very
01:07:57
Speaker
I think pragmatic attitude that odds are it's never going to lead to anything. I'm probably never going to make a dime. Right. Happily. I was wrong. I've got a few accolades under my belt. I've made some money, just enough money to not starve.
01:08:12
Speaker
ah But again, now and so <unk> it's definitely not about the money. Because like if I ever went radio, I'd have to like start as like an intern or whatever. And you know these big radio stars, like it takes them years and years to get to where they are For a big star, sure.
01:08:34
Speaker
But again, that's a very small amount of people that get to that level. Right. But you don't have to start as an intern. my My start in radio happened while I worked at Burger King.
01:08:46
Speaker
i was I'm not shitting you at all. I was 20 21. And I was calling out the order for this, three or four people. I had kind of a long line. it was lunch. And I'm calling out the orders for the kitchen.
01:08:58
Speaker
I just got that voice. You know, the two whoppers. And this lady comes up to me. She goes, call me tomorrow or tonight. I'm going to put you on the radio. The next week, I was co-hosting the Today in Trumbull show oh on AM 1570. WANR, Warren's all new radio. Oh, yeah.
01:09:19
Speaker
Sports and spiritual was programming. That makes a lot of sense for me. Because I'm supposed to be spiritual. Spiritual. Yeah, it was weird. But I cut commercials and stuff. it was It was a lot of fun. I loved doing it.
01:09:31
Speaker
oh But at the time, I needed a little more money because my habits exceeded my earnings.
01:09:40
Speaker
ah Word? Word. Bird. Bird is word. You're getting swung your eye. Sorry.
01:09:49
Speaker
yeah ba Oh, we're going. It's good. Speaking of comedy, I hate that I laugh at your jokes sometimes because I like I don't want I don't want you to think that you're funnier than you really are.
01:10:04
Speaker
oh I'll never think that. I'll never think that. I talk a big game and I do make some shit up about, oh, I'm the bad ass. But at the end of the day, I remained humble. I know where I came from.
01:10:16
Speaker
I'm just thankful, truly thankful for what I get to do. I get to just show up, fuck around, have a great time and i get paid for it. Yeah. That's the best fortune a life can offer.
01:10:29
