What's going on guys? Happy Wednesday. Sorry, I had to think about what day of the week it is. It all meshes together at the end of the day. It is what it is. but Welcome to the Nonsensical Network.

Speaker
We got Glick's Comedy Lounge, a little comedy unleashed for you guys tonight. you're not already, go ahead and check us out. Uh, give us follow, like share, subscribe, all that fun jazz.
00:04:38
Speaker
I doubt link slash nonsensical networks. Got all of our links there for you. We're on all the social medias. We're everywhere. You guys can't get away from us at the end of the day. We got the super chats on, on the YouTube channel. If you guys want to help support the shows and the network, that'd be greatly appreciated. don't forget, uh, Saturday nights is the big night where, uh,
00:05:01
Speaker
if we reach our goals and the highest super chatter, can co-host a show of their choice. And I think I'm going to add to that with the rest of the shows throughout the week.
00:05:13
Speaker
If we start hitting our goals, we'll look back at the week, Monday through Friday, and combine them and see who has that and offer the potential for twice a week where somebody can co-host a show of their choice with us for the time of breeding. Until I start making merch, stop yelling at me.
00:05:31
Speaker
All right, I'll get to it. But like I said, it's Glick's Comedy Lounge, your new home for comedy here on the Nonsensical Network.

00:07:37
Speaker
yeah It looks like it's going to be. I don't have as much time as I... used to to play video games. um Mainly to my go-to right now has been COD for years, but I've been kind of, when I do get a little bit of free time, dabbling into the Assassin's Creed.
00:07:55

I played them a little bit in the past, but I'm really getting into the Valhalla one, but I'm super stoked for the, well, the Wolverine one looks great. The new Ninja Turtles Ronin That one looks cool.
00:08:08
Speaker
but That one's going to be crazy. my My girlfriend, not a gamer, but a fan of the Ninja Turtles, not a fan of the Ronin series. i've explained it to her and told her the concept, and she's like, but why? He's by himself. yeah well Why did they kill them all? I was like, because they needed a new story? i mean, I don't know. That's how you make money in the comics. You kill them off, and then you're true.
00:08:35
Speaker
You kill every of every one of them off and you leave one standing and then he becomes the ultimate badass. I don't know. Is it going to be sad? Probably. is it you know, I'm a big teddy bear, but I'm prepared. I'm ready for it. Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:49
Speaker

00:11:05
Speaker
um I'm right now. I live in Georgia, so I'm like right north of Florida. So I'm always going down there. The Jacksville do shows, went to Daytona and St. Augustine, St. Pete. So it's, it's awesome. It's rainy and shitty right now. It's been cloudy all day today, but it's Florida. Just wait five minutes.
00:11:21
Speaker
shit that's That's how it is here in Ohio. I've got, um, We've got a few friends down in the Tampa area that ah do stand up. it that's It's kind of becoming, you know, they're they're going toe to toe in some ways with, ah you know, New York and Los Angeles has always been those like, if you're going to make it in comedy, you got to make it here. But that Florida scene starting to come up in the last several years and really take care of it.
00:11:49
Speaker
Orlando's looking good. St. Pete, Clearwater's looking good. Some good clubs down there.
00:11:57
Speaker
Yeah, that was I love it. It's it's a the best time my life doing this stuff. Oh, yeah. um What made you so two years ago? And as you said, I won't I won't throw your age out there. You said you're an older gentleman.
00:12:10
Speaker
ah It's funny how we decide to take these, ah you know, 40s and 50s. And we're like, and you know what, I'm going to take this side quest over here and see where it takes me. leveling up man leveling up let them level 53 if you're wondering there go you're almost ah almost leveled up enough to prestige
00:12:32
Speaker
uh what made you decide to get into comedy i always wanted to do it uh it's just been a fascination of mine always been into comedy but i did one time i was like i got a chance to get on an open mic and My wife, you know, they're supposed to encourage you, but she's like, you need to you're really good. Like, you got to go for this. Like, go full on.
00:12:51
Speaker
Because she wouldn't lie to me. shop If I suck, I suck. She'll tell me. Yeah. mean, I didn't take the trash out, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to suck later. That's what we have kids for.
00:13:06
Speaker
Yeah, my daughter's full grown. She doesn't live here, so it's just me and her. And then I can't train my dogs to take the trash out yet. I got a few more years. My oldest one's moved out. I've got at least five to six years with my youngest, somewhere in that area. But i have a feeling he's going to stick around for a while. But once he graduates, I'm going back down south. To hell with this this Ohio shit.
00:13:28
Speaker
Yeah, come on down to Florida. i I don't know that I have the patience to to ah Florida's beautiful. Don't get me wrong. I've always enjoyed when I get to go down there. Tampa has kind of become a little bit of a second home to me. Yeah.
00:13:44
Speaker
I don't know if I can live there full time. I don't have I don't think I have the patience. It's freaking awesome. Like for it's just we got enough. Well, we call Ohio the the Florida of the north because we we send our idiots down there to you guys in the in the wintertime.
00:13:59
Speaker
Oh yeah, we get them. We get them. Then they didn' they come back home. But ah yeah, I'm good in a week or two stint in Florida, but it's beautiful down there. Don't get me wrong. We'll get back down on the coast. Probably South Carolina is where I want to get back to down in Charleston.
00:14:14
Speaker
That place is blowing up there. A lot of people going there. ah um it's It's a madhouse down there. I was there for 10 years. yeah, um but So anyways, sorry, sidetrack, squirrel moment.
00:14:31
Speaker
I know, right? What did you say? ADHD? Yeah, ADHD. Look at this guy. If it lasts more than four hours, you're supposed to seek medical help. Yeah.
00:14:43
Speaker
I don't know anything about that, but... yet i should say the last more than four hours you call up somebody like hey check it out hang stuff off of it put in nails since i was like 17. this is crazy
00:15:02
Speaker
this is awesome i'll deal with it no um no so you gotta to just jump like head first into the into the comedy thing and it's just kind of took off for you it sounds like Yeah, as it so I was going to open mics, practicing.
00:15:17
Speaker
I got some good advice from some other comedians. are like, you know, just do five minutes and work on that until it's good. Then you can do another five minutes, work on that, and then you're like I got 10, I got 15, I got 20. It just keeps adding up, and you can...
00:15:29
Speaker
And it's just, I feel natural up there. And I get nervous every time, but up when I'm up there, I'm just, I'm in my happy place. Like if I'm ever in prison in the shower and I drop the soap, um my happy place was will be stand up.
00:15:42
Speaker
well I mean, hopefully you can and avoid that. um Also, I wouldn't recommend from, you know, putting it off that you're enjoying the situation. so don't, otherwise, is yeah But you're a big guy, so you might be all right. um Did they initially, did the writing come, was it natural for you or you always had that?
00:16:07
Speaker
I've always liked writing stories. You know, I've read short stories before and I had a pretty interesting life. I was in the Navy for 22 years on submarine. So, and we've got this craziest bunch of dudes ever doing that shit.
00:16:22
Speaker
How the hell did you fit on a submarine? Yeah. They duck a lot. yeah i was going to say, i've but I've been on a couple myself, but I'm like, no. no now Again, I'm only 6'3". Only 6'3".
00:16:39
Speaker
Even some of the ships are kind of, for as big as they are, they're they're kind of cramped. Oh,
Challenges and Styles in Comedy
00:16:44
Speaker
yeah. the It doesn't matter what it's on. I'm going to hit my head. Even when you bend over your taller than the foot.
00:16:53
Speaker
That's true. Short people. That's why we're underarm deodorant because their heads are always like right here. so When they walk by, I want it to be pleasant. and yeah like Especially in this Florida humidity.
00:17:05
Speaker
a du We were down there a couple months ago and I couldn't believe how hot it already was. That's my buddy Phil. just did a show at his place at Black Hammock. and That was awesome. Sold out. It was great.
00:17:18
Speaker
what Are you headlining or featuring or opening? Or a little bit of everything? and A little bit of everything. you know I like opening sometimes because it's a challenge. Because people there to laugh, but you've got to get them going you know for everybody else on the show.
00:17:37
Speaker
and Headline's cool when you finish up because everybody's already warmed up, right? Unless you follow somebody that freaking bombed and you're like, oh, I've got to get this back because, you know,
00:17:49
Speaker
yeah cant Yeah, I can't imagine, you know, again, i'm I'm not a comedian. and and i have I have no desire getting in front of us in front of people and trying to make them laugh.
00:18:00
Speaker
ah I don't... Oh, shit. i don't I don't do public speaking very well. and what are you doing What do you call this? This is... I'm in the comfort of my own bedroom. And I don't have...
00:18:16
Speaker
you know, 600 eyes staring at me. I mean, that would be weird. That would sound like one hell of a party if we had 600 people in this bedroom. But it'd be sticky.
00:18:27
Speaker
yeah Yes, very sticky, very messy. But no, I don't I don't have to actually see the people. I know people ask me all the time. They're like, how are you afraid of speaking when you do podcasting and live streaming? I don't actually see the people.
00:18:42
Speaker
I don't know you know. Also, if I fuck up, I can just go, oh, no, my internet's dog shit and just in the stream, and then i don't have to worry about it, and I can make it disappear forever. So... But, no, I mean, being an opener, that's... i don't know, being a fan um and and kind of getting a little bit more behind the scenes with talking with you guys, that almost sounds like it would be one of the most stressful things, because like you said, you've got to kind of set the mood and get everybody ready and get them all warmed up kind of uh that fluffer position so to say just blur that out yeah yeah it's i i i find it challenging and it's cool like if i can open up for somebody that's been doing comedy for 20 years because you kind of get the show off
00:19:36
Speaker
You're like, hey, I want to, and then he'll be like, if you get if you get that compliment, you're like, that was freaking awesome, Bill. You're like, yeah. Little pat on the back.
00:19:48
Speaker
I wish he had 600 eyes to look at.
00:19:54
Speaker
That's another guy right there should have on your show. Brandon Follett, he's a comedian down here. yeah i'm down every hey man this this door is wide open for everybody and anybody oh happy pride brandon uh
00:20:14
Speaker
i'm learning i'm learning with you guys that a lot of the a lot of the guests i've had on there's there's not a whole lot of an off switch with with with you guys is do you have that where you're just constantly oh oh geez always on even when you're at home or trying to think of new stuff or come up with new new ideas and stuff i feel like i'm always on i just like the silliest shit comes to me like i've been sleeping like you know right before your alarm goes off like at our age you know like that's when you pee like an hour before your arm we're gonna get every night
00:20:50
Speaker
so i'm like laying there fighting it and then i think it's something funny and i grab my phone and i type in the notes real quick and just like silly shit if i remember a good story or you know if i put myself in a situation there you yeah how long um ah yeah you said you started with the you know five minutes then you're able to do ten minutes how long is your longest set that you can do right now think I did 30 something minutes. I can probably do 30 and I probably could do 45 if I put if I write out my jokes enough and they know what I'm to but I could do solid 20 or solid 30.
00:21:28
Speaker
are you more of the the i'm gonna hit you with the back-to-back jokes or do you do storytelling or i'm sure you got stories for day for that i'm a i'm more of a storyteller but then if i write one-liners i try to fit them in into my story so it's not just somebody up there because lot of younger comics to do it and they'll they're just talking about their day and it's just you're just like get to a funny part yeah Well, and and and it doesn't help matters none that we, and and then i ive brought I've had this conversation quite a bit. It doesn't help matters none that we live in a society now where, unfortunately, a lot of our attention spans are 15, 30 seconds ah because of... TikTok brain. It's called TikTok brain. Yeah, exactly. So i i think that as far as comedians go, the storytellers that are good and can...
00:22:19
Speaker
you know, have success at it. and so That's it. Bless you. That's it. You got a booger. You got a booger.
00:22:31
Speaker
that's ah That's a true art now because you got to be able to keep the story, you know, you got to keep the keep the shiny objects going to keep people's attentions. So if you're able to add little dolphin story.
00:22:44
Speaker
I've heard some dolphin stories. I've got friends down there. Well, that's, out yeah, go on my socials. It's on there. yeah I have a friend of mine who's down in the Tampa area. Shout out Kevin Hawley. Kevin, what's up?
00:22:56
Speaker
gotten Gotten into, but what's going on well Well, gotten into comedy in the last few years. and He used to work on a dolphin cruise. So um he's maddening stories about dolphins.
00:23:12
Speaker
Yeah, they're dicks. They're dicks, all of them. I mean, if it's if it's the apocalypse, I've already picked out animals that people don't eat, but I will eat. yeah Okay. and Now you've kind of peaked my curiosity. right if it Okay, think about it, right? if there if if If it's the apocalypse, right, and you got to provide for your family, and you live down in Florida, and you see a big, fat, juicy manatee, it's not going to swim fast.
Florida's Comedy Scene
00:23:38
Speaker
They'll probably come right up to you. Jump in the water with your freaking Rambo knife just got our car and you're good to go. ah Hopefully it's delicious. I'm pretty sure it's got a pretty solid steak. you know um'm I'm pretty sure at some point time somebody's eaten manatee i'm yeah before they became endangered or whatever. I'm sure that they They used to think they were mermaids. Like, how freaking horny were those pirates? Like, oh, man, I bet. Oh, my God. Look at her. You got some gush before the bush. A whole new meaning to whale tailing.
00:24:11
Speaker
look They'll be there. They're pirate liberty briefs. All right, guys, stop fucking the manatees, okay? there's their They just eat lettuce and seaweed. Just leave them alone. is that Is that why there's signs down there that say don't molest the manatees?
00:24:25
Speaker
There's signs that don't molest the alligators. magic Why? Again, Florida. i was Just put, leave the alligators alone. Why are you going to molest them?
00:24:37
Speaker
Like, shh, you like that? You're a University of Florida fan? do the chop?
00:24:51
Speaker
I think the alligator would like it. you know yeah you know uh yeah uh you are in a great state for doing comedy because it kind of writes itself down there oh every city is freaking different you know like go to go to daytona it's a different city daytona the people that live there is like oh i love them interesting bunch there's a reason why cops is filmed there 95 percent of time when it's in florida the cops live pd they're always in daytona yeah there and that was that like i did some places shows out seattle and i'm like another interesting place that is a um i've never been there thank god um i've seen and heard enough about it that uh i'm good

00:26:12
Speaker
I parked... One block up, pulled in, parked, sun was still up. I'm like, all right, cool. You know you can smell the coffee. You can see the they-them's walking around. And then you go around the corner, and I get there, and I did a show. It was like 11 o'clock when I'm leaving. Now it's dark.

00:26:59
Speaker
Oh, man. Yeah, yeah the whole the the West Coast is freaking weird. Maybe, you know, if they come over here, they they probably think we're freaking weird. Like everything down here is going to kill you. You know, like you go, I've recorded videos in my backyard. are Like what's in Bill's backyard. And I've caught, I caught a snapping turtle.
00:27:19

If I catch a turtle or I catch a snake, I'll make a video and I'll do like a little, you know, hey, this is what this is. This is what this is for. This is the kind of turtle. You know, this is a tortoise. Don't throw these in the fucking water because we got some wing nuts in town here.

00:40:04
Speaker
Yeah. I retired in 2012. Oh, man. does um Does your comedy reflect a lot of that? Do you tell a lot of stories from being in the military? I'm sure you have them. Being stuck in a... ah can underwater for i mean i have some stories from from the submarines that i'll do on stage um i think the best is like when you're when you're on there and it's and they call it the mid-watch right everybody's sleeping except for the guys on watch and you end up talking about some stupid shit or you just talk about your last port visit
00:40:36
Speaker
And you learn to talk to guys, you know, learn to communicate and how to keep a story going. Like my friend Dave always told me, you know, he was happy that got into comedy because, uh, I think one his kids graduated high school and his whole family was here. We're all hanging out of backyard, drinking crown and Cokes. And he just said, bill, tell him this story, bill, tell him this story. And I just got to keep everybody going, you know? And when I feel like it's getting born, you hit them, you hit them with a joke, you them with a twist.
00:41:05
Speaker
I really need to get one of them. I was going to pick up one of the ring lights and I was like, am I there yet? I've got two of them. I still don't know what the fuck I'm doing with them.
00:41:17
Speaker
Mo Dog said, the Navy boys say it ain't queer if it's off the pier.
00:41:26
Speaker
I like it. you know All the branches here in the chat, Jack off contests, according to Lenny. I don't know if we've ever had that. Uh, that's how do you do it? i go Like who's the winner? The first, uh, the first, uh,
00:41:45
Speaker
or the last started last like who yeah yeah whether you're the first to go or last to go like who's the winner in this they said it's not gay if it's back to back though right yeah i've always heard as long as you don't make eye contact it's not gay but i mean and if you're getting paid it's not it's not gay if you get paid so Oh, yeah. Southern Riverwalk. That's our one of my right here where I live.
00:42:11
Speaker
Great ass restaurant. And that's where I started my comedy life. That's where i did my first open mic there. And then so every other Monday is an open mic. Yeah, I was ah not here.
00:42:22
Speaker
ah Well, I was in Jamaica. Love and life. Yeah, yeah. wait When we first started talking to you, we had the the Seattle trip, which, you know, unfortunately, sorry to hear about. But then you said you were going to Jamaica. i' was like, well, they kind of make so far.
00:42:38
Speaker
Yeah, it's going extreme to the other. Yeah, right. um What's your thoughts and feelings on the open mic? So with you still being relatively new, I mean, even with the success that you're having early on, what's your feelings on the open mic?
00:42:53
Speaker
I still like going to them. Like if you got something new, like if I got something, a new idea, a new story I want to work around, I like going to open mics because you can work it out. And it's cool because a lot of other comedians are there. So it's always a cool hang ah with all my my my comedy
Open Mic Nights and Crowd Work
00:43:08
Speaker
friends. It's cool to see everybody, you know, like, hey, I haven't seen you in a minute. Like you're doing a lot of good stuff.
00:43:13
Speaker
And then you network if you haven't seen anybody. And then because I, you know, myself and Sean Steele run Den and Mike, right? It's right there, right there. ah we see good up-and-comers that are popping up. and you know like I have a a friend of mine. I served with her husband.
00:43:29
Speaker
and She got out of comedy for a little bit. She had breast cancer. and She went to a comedy school in Seattle and kind of got out of it. and then i She saw much fun yeah out fun I was having. I was like, you got to get back into because it just like rejuvenates your soul.
00:43:44
Speaker
And she got back into it and she's crushing it right now. Like she's good every freaking time. You're like this season natural. She's a natural. Like she needs a sitcom. hello Is it, is it almost kind of therapeutic for you to get up change and and be able to, you know, i know it's how it is for me every time I kick this camera on. And I mean, once I get through the frustration and aggravation of, you know, technology because I'm not very, very smart. Uh, but, uh, I, it's something I've always been curious about with comedians and getting up there. If it's kind of therapeutic and like, like you said, it's your happy place, but get to help you a bit and let go some steam and shit like that.
00:44:29
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, you can have a ah shitty day. You know, I tried to keep it separate. Like if I'm having a bad day and I'm going to the show, and got, I got to block it out. But once I I'm up there, I feel better a million times better.
00:44:42
Speaker
Oh, yeah. They all knew first set, and then I did a set that I did.
00:44:53
Speaker
Hell yeah. You're just doing all kinds of it. You're putting in all the effort, Will. He's a great guy. Bodog says, how about how much grief do newbies, fur timers, et cetera, get from the comedy vets when they go to open mics?
00:45:10
Speaker
I've never seen anybody you get any griefs, right? Like if you, if you're up there and you know, like, Hey, this is my first time or second time, like you're going to give them a chance. You're going to clap me like, Hey, you know, but you know, so like for me, when I was going up there, I'd get somebody to give me a tip. Like, Hey, you know, instead of saying it like a B and C do a B and, and Z I, you know, kind of just change it up. Cause they, they see it coming and then you hit them with the freaking twist at the end.
00:45:39
Speaker
now there is people that suck ass right like yeah you know have i you gotta have i i'm always gonna be humble you know like i i look at somebody that comedians like damn man i want to be that good you know but some people they they try to take a shortcut and they're trying to like ramp up their social media like they're actually doing stuff but when you see them on the show you're just like maybe you should do you know work on the comedy a little bit before you know acting like your shit doesn't stink on social media yeah exactly you you see somebody that that does a lot of yapping and a lot of hyping themselves up on social media and then they get a mic in their hand and they just eat absolute dog shit but in their in their head still they come off stage and think they killed it
00:46:28
Speaker
yeah just like maybe i'll never be like i fucking crushed you know i always think that i like if i forgot a joke you know i should have said it like this or i forgot that bit or messed up that word and just but it may i mean i'm always like that was awesome it was like one of your best sets i'm like hey i feel it but had to i know keep you Keep you kind of grounded. you know you You want to have a little bit of an ego, maybe you know but you know you don't want to be your head to be so big that you just kind of become an ass.
00:47:00
Speaker
ah Yeah. figure Nicole asked, what was your favorite show you've done that will stick with you for the rest of your life? Ah, that was... i guess God damn, miss it there's a lot of them that were pretty good. I did a vet show here at the local VA and like 280 people were there, which is pretty awesome.
00:47:23
Speaker
Yeah. ah Another show we did down in Lake City ah before Sean and I teamed up. He's like, yeah, come down here. It'll be an outside, you know, outside event.
00:47:34
Speaker
So it got to be kind of clean. And I'm thinking in my head, it's like, you know, saw the Riverwalk outside. There's like 20, 30 people max. yeah We drive all the way down there and there's a shit ton of prisons down there. just like, what?
00:47:47
Speaker
threw a license plate. Like seven of We passed seven of them. Damn. And I'm like, where are we? Like, this is crazy. and then we pull up and I see ah all these cars and i have people direct them. And I was like,
00:48:01
Speaker
this outside but there's a lot of people and i get there and i'm looking around it wass like yeah there's there's a like 300 something people here it's like and then sean's like you're going up after me your sean was hosting he's like you go first and i'm like oh but so i'm like behind stage i'm pacing i'm like all right all right oh good get ready i was gonna eat this sick ass uh meatloaf sandwich that i had and i was like just i couldn't my stomach was shut down it was like now i just gotta to focus But I came out and I had it got the crowd going. It was awesome. It was a good time.
00:48:34
Speaker
hello yeah that's that's That's cool. You know, when you get when you ah when you almost borderline get in your own head and you're like, know, like you said, in the nerve the the nerves and the and anxiousness or anticipation or excitement or whatever and all kinds. But when you get out there and you do it and to have that, you know, to come off stage and kind of take that, that, uh,
00:48:59
Speaker
relief, that breath of relief breath, you know, and my words are all over the place. Words are hard, but, uh, that's gotta be a huge sense of accomplishment. Yeah, it is. It feels great. feel like you actually, you know, I'm good at stuff, but I feel like this is, it's like that puzzle piece just fits, you know, it was like this way it should go. The first open mic person, Patrick said he would rather eat a cactus. Oh, damn.
00:49:27
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Phil, can I tell the story? Stories are always welcome. thiss This is a short one. He's not going to.
00:49:41
Speaker
Well, I'm going to tell it anyway. So he has this great spot. And it's like a it's like a little island and got a great community, great people. And he built this whole like event center for weddings and stuff.
00:49:55
Speaker
I think he built it for his son. I think that's what he said. And it's great place to do comedy. We had like 100 people in there. And he's like, hey, there's some people want to, you know, perform. So it was a girl went up, did an open mic.
00:50:08
Speaker
It's just terrible. just I don't think she's ever done. She's just talking about her kids up there And you're just like, oh, my god i had to go outside. i It was rough. And then the second guy went up, played his guitar, but he talked for 10 minutes before he actually played the song. And then he asked, hey, do you want to do another one? And the crowd was like, fuck, no. when they Bring the come Canadians up, man. That's right. We need more.
00:50:34
Speaker
that was ah that was a great spot and and everybody everybody there was awesome like that's the best i like going to do a show right and then when everything's over just go and talk to the people because you listen you you hear everybody's backstories and it gets your juices flowing like oh i can i could do this story i could do this story yeah kind of add your add your own unique twist or spin to to to their story and
00:51:03
Speaker
Yes, we do, MoDog. We all know some of those people, huh? they Yes, we do. Those who think their shit don't stink. And all they do is eat shit.
00:51:16
Speaker
What's up, Jay? Will ask, do you get stage fright and how do you overcome it? Yeah, that's question i always ask, you know. you know Especially when you're when you're first coming into it and doing that for the first few times.
00:51:29
Speaker
i get I get nervous, but then I push through it. like I was like, it feeds me. it like I think I push back the fear. It's like the guys that jump out of airplanes. Because it's probably terrifying, but they still do it because they push through the fear and get in there.
00:51:45
Speaker
I will never jump out of an airplane. I won't either. Especially really good one. They and have a big enough parachute. I have to use the ones they use for the Jeeps in World War II. Yeah.
00:52:00
Speaker
Yes, Anthony, the one where you contract herpes will always stick with you. ah Thailand. They love you long time. It's at the bar. Like if you
00:52:19
Speaker
ah another at the bar like if you go there you have all the drinks right up on the bar menu. And then right next to it, it says long time and short time for the girls that work there.
00:52:31
Speaker
Short time, you go upstairs, clap cheeks, and then you get back down. look Long time is like you bring her to your hotel room or wherever. or That's like,
00:52:46
Speaker
Like, yeah, pushing your luck. like Yeah, you you're starting to enter dangerous territory there with a long time. you don't want to hit it with a blacklight when you're done. You're like, what the fuck? it sounds like you're about ready to make a commitment you're not ready for.
00:53:02
Speaker
why do you look like a Pollock? Have you ever had stage fright so bad you backed out of a show? I'm going to assume that's a no for you. No, fuck no. Yeah, man.
00:53:13
Speaker
You're there. oh there you go phil said yeah you can tell the story okay cool i told it already
00:53:22
Speaker
there's a little bit of delay on the youtube and facebook page and stuff like that i think you can click down on it right make it come across yeah uh so we'll we'll just talk slower if you ever fart do you hold it in or let it go and make it part of the show
00:53:42
Speaker
I have crop dust on the way up to the stage before. i would try to make it have just ki on the way out. Like when you're leaving, that way the next comic has to walk right through it. Just kind of cover it up with a cough. Like, thank you. Yeah.
00:54:01
Speaker
a The...
00:54:06
Speaker
speak Speaking of jumping out of airplanes, not to be morbid, but I'll see the story from a few days ago. Yes. well done the sky oh that this Oh, nine people on board. No, I thought you were talking about that Brazilian girl they threw off the ledge. Did you see that?
00:54:21
Speaker
The side of the the bridge or whatever. Yeah, they had her up. and it was like yeah this is the best day ever and they didn't even hook her outside of bungee yeah best day ever like there's a probably a time and it just hey am i supposed to start bouncing back up oh it's great it's that sudden stop at the end well i guess in that video uh unfortunately she survived for a little bit from what i heard like she she she died on the way or in the hospital or something. I don't know. But in that video, after they realized that she had no bungee hook to her, you could see the guys who tossed her off the building just or the bridge take off running. it
00:55:01
Speaker
That's why you don't do shit like that overseas. There's no rules overseas. Like, you go to Orlando, they got that big slingshot thing. They have, we got regulations.
00:55:13
Speaker
But if I'm down in Mexico and I see that, I'm like, no. I think they got one right on the border, though. Like, hey, enjoy it. No, I'm good. yeah but the skydiver, that's got to be shitty. They didn't have a chance to jump out when the plane went down?
00:55:31
Speaker
Yeah, that was... I mean, you'd think that would be a perfect situation in a plane crash and be in a skydiving. why the fuck did Why the fuck did they just jump out of the plane? right? No. Anyway.
00:55:45
Speaker
ah
00:55:48
Speaker
but oh I see you guys in the chat. and Sometimes I get a little behind on the chat, but I see you guys. I'll get there. We'll get there. yeah Hit them with one of them super chats. I want to see how that works.
00:56:03
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. they were all They were too low to the ground, apparently. They could have just rolled, tuck and roll. Yeah, tuck and roll, duck and roll, Granny. You have one job that's like making bean burritos and forgetting the beans.
00:56:18
Speaker
you have like three things to do attach harness attach bungee two harness yeet person i mean yeah they just got it out of order they're like patch harness yeet person they're like ah fuck the whole reason we're here i mean if you if you dumb it down like that yeah really ah j you failed miserably she'd been fucked up if she survived though because would have been like i've never gone back to brazil
00:56:49
Speaker
a Oh, we should not laugh at somebody else's expense. so He's not going to get angry. This is true. just Don't. ah
00:57:02
Speaker
ah Oh, man. Like, yep. You had one job. dish but but That's a hell of a, uh, It's a hell of an experience. say you know Just come down to Brazil and get yeeted off of a bridge.
00:57:20
Speaker
Yeah, pass. $200 to get tossed off a bridge. 50-50 chance. Yeah, and they recorded it. Yeah.
00:57:30
Speaker
Hey, look look, if I ever go like that and I'm at the funeral, am my your guys yeah i might just play that on a loop. like On front of my cats, just over and over again. Right there.
00:57:43
Speaker
you know I say it all the time, if I if i ever like stroke out or have an aneurysm or something, I hope and i hope that it's lot when we're live, just so the the guys that are still around doing the network can benefit from all the the views and the clicks and the and all that.
00:58:03
Speaker
you know It's like that that that the snake guy down there in Florida, you know the moment he loses a an appendage. If he wasn't already huge, he's going to be massive on the social media platforms. Well, you can go down there and like schedule time with him. He'll take you down the canal with the be with their BB guns, whatever they're using to shoot the iguanas.
00:58:28
Speaker
And then next day, they'll take you out go hunting for boar, which is you don't need a tag for that. You just kill those little invasive bastards. And then you go hunting for pythons. the same thing because you get paid...
00:58:39
Speaker
to kill him. And I kind of want to do that. I kind of want to just jump off a boat and just... ah I can't... yeah i mean, I do want to go boar hunting. And I would love to shoot me some iguanas.
00:58:53
Speaker
Yeah, they snipe him. It's pretty cool. And then his dog goes out and fetches him. A lot of meat's pretty good. um But it's like gator. It's got to be prepared properly. Otherwise, it's a little rough.
00:59:07
Speaker
But... Yeah, I think I'm down more for the animals that could potentially kill me rather than, you know, anything that has to do with aerial activities.
00:59:19
Speaker
Yeah, right. I'll fight an alligator before I go skydiving or bungee cord jumping in Brazil. Right. You want Big Daddy's last dive filmed.
00:59:34
Speaker
the hell of a title right there yeah whore hunting uh maybe a little bit i'm not even surprised the marine said that because that checks that's good job bad dog mo dog that's it i i think the boars are a little less aggressive though no they're crazy up here there's a friend of mine was in town him and his wife and she was driving around i guess a boar got hit by a car and this thing because they get up to 400 pounds And she said it looked like a werewolf sitting outside a road. Just yeah kid it turn around and see what it was.
01:00:10
Speaker
We had them in South Carolina. And the first time I seen him one, night yeah i had to I had to stop and do a double take. Thankfully, I was driving, but it was on the side of the road. And I was i had to stop and do a double take and go what the fuck is that?
01:00:23
Speaker
Because they are. They are. There's some terrifying little creature. Well, not little, but. they can They're pretty terrifying creatures, and I hear they're hard to take down. I've always wanted to do it, but never had the opportunity to go boar hunting.
01:00:36
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to take them down with a frigging rifle. You've got wrestle to the ground and get them with your Rambo knife. Just come up. You know I'm going out there. I'm going to kill the boar, you know?
01:00:55
Speaker
yeah that's pretty good i got I use it for my wife because ah she's like, you sound stupid. I was like, I'm not stupid. you know I'm a little punchy. I'm not stupid. There you go. Thank you, Will. There you go, Will. Good job. going to have to pay him back for that.
01:01:10
Speaker
One-liners are making comeback. Do you think people's short attention spans due to clips and reels cause that?
01:01:18
Speaker
I think the i got problem with one-liners, can you do a whole hour-long show with one-liners?
01:01:27
Speaker
I'm not a comedian, but that would be hard to do. Like if I tell my stories, you know, I want to take you from point A to point B and, and you know, and everything lines up, you know, this goes into this, goes into this, goes into this, goes into this, goes into this. That was good advice. Shout out to Jay Lawrence, you know, cause you don't want to be all over the place. Sometimes I'll take a sidetrack, you know, like if I'm talking about something and I mentioned like Hallmark and I go off on and why Hallmark movies are so freaking stupid, you know?
01:01:57
Speaker
And then I did that on a whim one time, and then that I was like, hey, that worked pretty good. So I started working on that joke. and Like, you know hey, everybody wants to go date Brad with the quarter zip on. i think, yeah, I'll be right back with that. um um I'm grabbing a pack of Newports while I'm out, too. So I'll be right back. Cheselnick does do a great job with the one-liners, but I think they're – he they're they i guess you can call them like an expanded one-liner they're not short hit it and and get out yeah type of one-liners uh it's a a little story a little build up with the one-liners so uh fizzle neck's great uh mean you can because if you can fit them in there if it if it matches your flow
01:02:46
Speaker
It's all good. I mean, every, every comedian is different. You've got the storytellers, you got the one-liners, you got the ones that do stories ain't true. But I think the biggest thing is what did I, who said it recently? I thought it was pretty awesome.
01:02:58
Speaker
He goes, you have to don't go practice your lines. Like you're reading for a role. yeah i want to i want it to feel like i'm hanging out with friends like this like if i'm telling a joke you know you're paying attention you know like it's it's natural like hey this is i'm really freaking stupid like this in real life so that's kind of summed up my entire life i'm just a big dumb animal ladies and gentlemen oh yeah um
01:03:28
Speaker
Yeah, he does. he he he plays He plays the silence well, too, and waits. Yeah, he sometimes Sometimes with those... And again, this is just a fan's perspective. ah Sometimes with those one-liners, you gotta to let them simmer a little bit you know before you rush right into the next one.
01:03:46
Speaker
Yeah. Otherwise, you know you don't give that you don't give that enough time to really hit the hit where it needs to hit. Speaking of the one-liners, this is kind of ah kind of all off, but a little bit on the same track.
01:04:01
Speaker
You're still kind of, youre well, you you are new to the to the comedy world. um How do you feel about the crowd work? You know, there's a lot of guys, you see them, and it goes back to the Instagrams and the reels and the shorts and TikTok and stuff like that, where that's all you see is clips of their crowd work.
01:04:23
Speaker
Yeah, but there's comedians that could do a whole show on crowd work because they're that good. Like Big Jay Oakerson. That's his thing. Or Matt Wright. That's is's his thing. The problem is... He isn't funny outside of crowd work.
01:04:35
Speaker
He might be. I've never really heard anything else besides his crowd work. it in my purpose You get somebody coming up and and they're like, oh, I'm going to do crowd work. it just doesn't freaking work. Like you gotta have something in the chamber, you know, gotta be locked and loaded with something else. Like you, yeah I could do crowd work. You know, if I see something funny I just can't let go, I'll do it. But if that doesn't work, then I can shift, you know, you got to pivot and it's gotta to be, i don't know if it doesn't work, then does it work? And you you're just up there making fucking silly noises.
01:05:09
Speaker
yeah Exactly. i think, it well, like you said, I mean, um Matt Wright, his crowd work is great. His actual stand-up, what I've seen of specials and stuff like that, yeah whatever. There's a gentleman out there. You said Big J. I love Big J. I think he's great. You guys can be brothers.
01:05:27
Speaker
Just paint your fingernails. Yeah. I'll take that. ah Michael Blaustein is another one that does phenomenal crowd work.
01:05:40
Speaker
probably one of the best out there that I've i've personally seen. But his stand-up is hilarious, too. He doesn't just rely on the crowd work. No, it's it's it's got to be... You got to be good at it. like yeah it's and You don't want to just start roasting people and picking. You don't want to be the villain.
01:05:56
Speaker
you know You want people to like you. Especially if you're just starting off. you know like I want people to enjoy me. Yeah. Shut up, MoDog.
01:06:07
Speaker
hu when you get real good or professional status do a new year's eve comedy show that's when you know you made it a new year's eve comedy show right yeah it's a little uh it's a little inside baseball there i feel like there's a good story yeah we had some friends do uh there was a lot of unforeseen circumstances that uh didn't help the matters none but uh We were associated, the network was associated with the New Year's Eve show this past New Year's Eve, and it just didn't go according to plan. well we but but Unfortunately. Thank God I was not on a microphone. I'll
01:06:54
Speaker
have to tell you that. I'll have to give you a little bit more info on that not lie. um but okay so with the crowd work stuff and i see you guys there in the chat real quick um since you've been doing comedy and and i think this this has become a i don't know it it's become worse or or if it's just been it's always been around but i think i feel like it's become worse the crowd participation where i think that they were that have you had to deal with that like people are like i'm here to be a part of the show no jackass sit down and shut the fuck up yeah right well phil brought it up so let's show saturday somebody brought a baby right that's what he said heckle by a baby
01:07:40
Speaker
The headliner, right, was Patrick Sisk, who's Orlando comedian, who's freaking ah outstanding. The baby started crying, and he just said, shut the fuck up. I was like, you got to be quick.
01:07:53
Speaker
Got to be quick.
01:07:56
Speaker
Shut that goddamn baby up. maybe Maybe like the scene, the baby was crying, and I was thinking about the one, the the real sad episode from M.A.S.H., You ever see that one?
01:08:09
Speaker
I'm trying to remember it. Since I've seen MASH. one ah the One of the guys from MASH, he's in a bus, right? And he's in the back, and somebody and this lady's got a chicken. The chicken's... but but buckck but but but And they're trying to hide because the North Koreans are going get ready to attack. He's telling the story. And then he basically, she had to put the hand over the chicken and it killed the chicken. And then you find out at the end of the show, it was a baby the whole time. You're like, mash, what are you doing? oh man. You're like, what the fuck? Yeah.
01:08:41
Speaker
You can't watch that. I watched that as a child. That's just not right. yeah there was no There was no rules in the We watched that shit. It was the other show that scarred me. The Day After.
01:08:54
Speaker
did you Do you remember that one? it's about what It was about World War III when the nukes hit America. It was called The Day After. Every single kid the next day going to school was like, we're going to die. Like...
01:09:05
Speaker
They want you to hide under your desks. That ain't going to help. That ain't going to help. That's not going to help. They even did that for hurricanes and tornadoes. Like, yeah, just hide your... Like, no, you're going to die. Yeah, tornadoes. I remember tornado drills. You went out to the hallway and just basically bent over and kissed your own ass in the hallway. Like, know, I'm better off. You know, Modoc said also, hey, Kaylee.

01:10:24
Speaker

Well, being 6'7", I don't look up to anybody physically. So whod be ah so when I was a kid, I always liked Rodney Dangerfield. Now, there's a guy I can do one-liners.
01:13:51
Speaker
He's got the greatest voice. And I love it. He's like, hey, I tell you, to get no respect, you know? On Halloween, the wife dresses the kids up like me. i tell you. It's like my wife's cooking so bad the flies fix the screens.
01:14:04
Speaker
I always liked him. I like Robin Williams because that guy would just natural. Like it was he would just go to town like something would pop in. Like one of the favorite things he was doing a USO tour out in I think it was in Iraq and they played taps at nighttime, you know, when they lowered a flag.
01:14:22
Speaker
If you're outside, you got to stand up, stand at attention, face the flag. He was halfway through his his one of his bits. You hear dude did du do everybody fucking turns around. He was like, he didn't know what was going on. You got to look it up.
01:14:34

01:15:50
Speaker
Maybe I don't understand. He had some good bits. so one One of my favorite Kenison bits. and It was funny then, but I think they took it to heart and because of the immigration stuff. Because he goes...

Speaker
You know what I mean? Because instantly, but whether the joke's funny or not, you know depending upon where you are, if you don't know your room, or your location, you could divide half of your audience.

I punched out a dinosaur one time. You what? I punched out a dinosaur one time. You punched out a dinosaur? Yeah. no that old I lived down in Charleston. Do you know alligators can climb?
01:27:11
Speaker
Yes. I didn't. My brother, so by our house where i grew up in St. Pete, there's a Sawgrass Lake Park. it And so you's you go in, you got the water, you see the alligators, and you're like, this is cool. And then there's like a boardwalk that kind of goes over the swampy area.
01:27:28
Speaker
and Well, there was a tree like this. a gator like a three-foot gator decide come up and he's like even with the boardwalk like you're not safe anymore guys mixing know they can learn to open doors yeah i i did not know and uh we had a pawn a retention pawn uh in the back uh back of my house when lived in charleston now mind you we had you know, the privacy fence.
01:27:55
Speaker
And you walk out of my garage onto the back patio, into the backyard. And literally when you come off the patio, right, there's the the fence. Like it's right beside you. I came out there one night, may or may not have had more beers than I should have.
01:28:10
Speaker
And just corner my eye, I see this thing with its head over my fence. Natural reaction. I just swing an uppercut. As soon as I hit it and it hit the ground, I realized what it was. So you hit him with the street fighter? You're like, hey, Eugen. Just straight uppercut, knocked him off the fence. He was a little guy, nothing like probably about three, four foot, little guy.
01:28:34
Speaker
But when he hit the ground, I realized what it was. So then I had to grab my phone and Google alligators climbing because I didn't know it was a thing. yeah That just adds to another layer of why they are terrifying monsters. Yeah.
01:28:49
Speaker
yeah they were They were getting close to being extinct when I was a kid. And then they put they put them on, and now they're just, they're not even on the endangered species list anymore. Like, good job, alligators.
01:29:04
Speaker
Jesus Christ. Yeah, Keith Richards probably remembers dinosaurs. He probably had his neighbor. Like, I remember the anglosauruses. They were next to me. Good people. Never took their trash out. Yeah, goats can climb.
01:29:18
Speaker
super gators no down in char i learned a lot about uh gators living down there um like they'll let them live in neighborhoods until they get up to about six feet long until they eat somebody's dog and then they relocate them and i was like oh there's like an alligator farm that's cool relocates like a alligator witness protection No, they relocate ah you relocate them to the local restaurants and and down at the market where you but get your belts and purses and boots that are made out. That's where they're relocated to. I'm like, well, that's kind of fucked up. they they kind of do They kind of do kidnap them. They throw the bag over their head, throw them in the van, they're like, let's go.
01:29:57
Speaker
ah Traffic the gators. Click is a terrifying monster. Oh, calm down, Rocky.
01:30:06
Speaker
Keith is just a dinosaur. I wouldn't mind hunting alligators. and You watch that swamp people on History Channel. You ever watch that down in New Orleans? Yeah. that I just want to... What is that thing called? A boomstick or whatever they use?
01:30:22
Speaker
They use a... One of them is this a shotgun shell on the end of a stick and they just go put duke right on the alligator's head. But the the guys that are freaking badass are the ones that are just has like the 22 rifle and it's like, pow, JFK, that thing.
01:30:38
Speaker
Gator minding his own business. Where'd hit you from? The grassy knoll.
01:30:47
Speaker
swear to God, man, the bullet curved. Curve the bullet. But think that'd be fun to hook a gator up like they do because they put the chicken out there with a big-ass hook, let it all sit and then they go back, and then they sit, oh, it's underwater, and they're just pulling this freaking 12-footer up. Like, ah.
01:31:06
Speaker
I mean, I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, but I'm also at the same size. I'm also going, why? yeah Like, they don't have many other predators out there that hunt alligators.
01:31:20
Speaker
so it's It's out of control. There's a lot of them. some Some rivers up here in Georgia. You can go and you see like 30 of them just floating in the water. yeah're Like, we're going to go kayaking now. Okay.

Speaker
It's, it's, well well, I'll see if I can find the video again. I'll say, I'll text you the link, but it's this couple, uh, older couple too. I think like in their sixties, they go camping in Georgia and they just go kayaking up the river or canoeing up the river and they find a camp spot, but he went, it was at nighttime. They set up the camp and he just goes out there with a spotlight. And all you see is glowing eyes. Yeah. He counted 30 gators around him.
01:32:16
Speaker
Wow. was like, I'm, I'm not sleeping. No, I'm good. and wake up with a gator spooning you and whispering in your ear like, I'm going to eat your ass tonight.

01:37:30
Speaker
Hmm. always go rock because fucking rock. yeah Worst part. ah Scheduling your life around comedy because I like comedy so much, but i also love my wife and, you know, I got to balance it out.
01:37:47
Speaker
you know, when she wants to cuddle with big sexy. ah Yeah, be around. Yeah. And the best part of comedy is all the new friends that I'm making, you know?
01:37:59
Speaker
Yeah. I like the best one of the best things is the after, uh, when all the comedians hang out, you know, like, uh, shooting the shit, telling stories. They're just listening. Cause they're always funny.
01:38:14
Speaker
The comedy hang. Yeah. I was gonna, I was gonna ask you, um, Good answer, Hubby. I was really expecting the the best thing about comedy is three to four days a week I get away from her.
01:38:31
Speaker
she's on the chat. there's now i'm not going to say that. Blink twice if you're in danger. it blin twice if you're in danger the
01:38:49
Speaker
It was a good deal. got ah So it sounds like... this is ah I'm always curious about this because you always hear the horror stories in entertainment, but from the way you talk, it sounds like you the the comedy community is a really good community and you guys all kind of, for the most part, are there to look out for each other and and and kind of help each other.
01:39:14
Speaker
like that. um like it's like that like you're not There's no... There's no competition because you all got the same goal. At least I'm like that. you know We always hear the horror stories like you know whether it's comedy or music or whatever.
01:39:32
Speaker
Oh man, so-and-so would run his granny over with a bus if they could get ahead of you. you know but there's what's What's ahead of me? Another stage?
01:39:43
Speaker
Yeah. I look at it this way, man. There's no shortage of state for free for for you guys. There's no shortage of stages. You know, if if your area is oversaturated with comedians and it's hard to get
Balancing Comedy with Personal Life
01:40:00
Speaker
a show, go somewhere else.
01:40:02
Speaker
yeah you know You know, it's not like, oh God, we all a sudden have not enough stages for all the comedians that are out there.
01:40:12
Speaker
No, there's never, there's always shit going on, always. And then so many other comedians out there, like, you know, the guys that run River City Comedy, they put on some good shows. You know, we're getting there. we're We're learning. You know, we'll have a show. We're like, yeah, let's do it different. You know, let's instead of putting eight comedians, let's longer sets, four comedians. You know, we've got to make it more bang for your buck, you know? Yeah. Yeah.
01:40:34
Speaker
And it's cool that like everybody talks like, you know, i'll have somebody come on on Den and Mike show, you know, and then I'll go on somebody else's show. And it just and I sometimes it's nice. You know, if I'm if it's a Den and Mike show, then I'm like worried about, OK, I got that sound systems working right. I got the spotlight up. I got, you know, don't fucking go over your time. Don't do that.
01:40:55
Speaker
You know. But when I'm on a show that somebody else is doing, I just got to show up and be funny. Yeah. pretty nice Rocky's got a two part question. What was your first standup set like? And also, uh, what's the hardest part of being funny professional?
01:41:11
Speaker
professionally. That's a good question. My first my first open mic that did, there wasn't a lot of people there, so usually open mics, you do three minutes or five minutes sets. I did 12. I knew it was coming, and I always had these stories in my head, so I just kind of wrote them out.
01:41:26
Speaker
I used the golden rule, you know, and 12 minutes, and i was freaking nervous. like i got i was I still smoked at the time, so I went, I think I smoked a half a pack of cigarettes. I was pacing, like, all right, I got to do it, got to do it.
The Emotional Impact of Comedy
01:41:40
Speaker
What was the other question? What was the hardest part of being funny professionally? It's not hard. i I mean, the hardest part is making sure your jokes hit and that everybody's happy.
01:41:53
Speaker
And I always tell people like one of the the biggest things that kind of like hit me with doing this. ah the the local mic here. we We used to do it every week. ah And every other week, these two ladies would come in from Yulee in Florida to come up and see me.
01:42:10
Speaker
right i hate they they They said, wellre come up and see you because you're funny. Well, one day I see them walking out of the parking lot. I'm like, hey, girls, what's up? And they look at me and the one lady older, she looks sad. I was like, what's going on? You feeling you have a shitty day? And she goes, I had to bury my son today and I need this comedy tonight.
01:42:26
Speaker
And I was like,
01:42:29
Speaker
ah I was like, God damn. All right. well that's It just means a lot that you put your son in the ground, had your son's funeral, and you came to see me tonight because you needed a good laugh.
01:42:41
Speaker
Laughter is the best medicine. I got to say, Kathleen might have won the chat for the night. She wants you to do a super chat. No, that's my money. Never mind. but My favorite part about comedy is that three to four nights a week, I don't have to cook dinner. or Do all the shows he wants.
01:42:57
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, she is a good cook. I had to lose weight because of her. She fattened me up. We got married. and She's like just, I like them fluffy.
01:43:09
Speaker
Hey,
01:43:13
Speaker
I'm not. I'm not. Rocky. Rocky's got the hard hitting questions tonight. In the two years since you've been doing comedy, how ah how has it changed? has How has comedy changed since you started? Yeah. It's only been two years, Rocky.
01:43:29
Speaker
i mean me i changed a lot like i feel like it's like i don't know it's it's hard to explain like i i kind of grew different you know more confident you know some like you know feel like you know like a baseball player first baseball player just crushing and he's like everybody loves him and like that's how i'm so i'm good at it i like it well i think it's i think it's also i mean you know one of the biggest things
Evolving Material and Career Reflections
01:43:55
Speaker
as an entertainer you want to be able to grow and adapt, find your voice, find your, you know, you don't want to be doing the same thing that you did two years ago when you were at that open mic, you know, unless it doesn't work for you. And then if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
01:44:13
Speaker
Yeah, and like everything I write changes. like Something that I said two years ago is formed into a different joke or a different bit. And it's it's still there. just And then I'll come up with something new. like I'll just write down one word. you know like That's just what I'm to do tonight.
01:44:29
Speaker
right And I write down my set, memorize it, and then I just go with what I know and something always comes out. And I'm like, that's why I record myself. i'm like, i I don't remember what I said, but it must have been pretty good because they were laughing their asses off.
01:44:42
Speaker
Yeah.
01:44:45
Speaker
it just shut off moed off Have you ever done a New Year's Eve show? ah Not yet. Not yet. What? what kind of starts talking. I know what he's doing. I'll have to fill in on that one. Cam Patterson rocks clips.
01:45:04
Speaker
Shane Gillis hosting SNL. Tom Brady roast all changed comedy in a major way. Kevin Hart roast to do SNL dropped the ball on Shane Gillis and they have been trying to pick that fumble up ever since.
01:45:20
Speaker
That was their loss, man. Yeah. I think was probably better. He wasn't outside of life. Yeah. I was just going to say, I think their loss, his game, because I feel like he would have been held back a lot and we may not get the shame that we have now. I love Shane Gillis. I think he's fucking hysterical.
01:45:38
Speaker
Yeah, i like and you know, he he does he feels like real. like He's like that probably normally when he's up there talking. i'd be like That's how I want to feel. Like, hey, the same stories I'm telling you on stage is how I am when we're off stage.
01:45:53
Speaker
No, yeah i think I think when you've i think even when you reached a point where it's just natural, a it's almost that's almost a certain level of of success, you know.
01:46:09
Speaker
most Most savage comeback you've ever given a heckler?
01:46:15
Speaker
Hmm. That's good one. i don't I have not had a lot of hecklers. um Oh, somebody said I was a narcissist. Like, you're a narcissist. I'm like, no shit. That's why I'm up here. so He once tore a guy's arm off and often beat him half to death with it.

Speaker
EDM Combat Remix is his YouTube channel, but his name's Rocky. Okay. Well, Rock Lee, but we call him Rocky. he's my He's my little brother. All right. You have to see the family resemblance. We're almost identical.
01:47:08
Speaker
but Kathleen said that your self-esteem has changed the most. It's incredible to watch someone live their dreams for the first time. Hell yeah. That's awesome. Yeah, I do wish I would have started a long time ago because like most these guys, like I've been comedy for like 20 years and I'm doing the math. I'm going to be fucking dead 20 So.
01:47:27

Spontaneity in Comedy

02:02:50
Speaker
Last thing before I let you go, before we get out of here, cause I've said my piece, ah this is a double, this is a two-part question. But the same question at the same time for any comedians that are thinking about getting into comedy.
02:03:04
Speaker
What's your advice? Also, the second part of it is like ah just general life advice. Maybe something somebody told you a long time ago or something you've figured out in all your years. If you want to get into comedy, you know, watch other comedians learn the craft, learn how to write, read a comedy book, you know.
02:03:22
Speaker
Learn how to, like, there's plenty of things where they talk about how they write comedy. Learn it. Practice it. Hit the open mics. you know hit you know You'll get better. if you keep If you love it, you'll get better.
02:03:35
Speaker
And then life stuff. hu I like, what was it? There's a movie called Jackie Brown, directed by Quentin Tarantino. There's a line in the movie that I always like to say, two tears in a bucket, fuck it.
02:03:48
Speaker
Hell yeah. I dig it. Again, thank you very much. Guys, check out Bill Huebner. If you can't find him on social media for some weird reason, I've tagged him everywhere.
