How's our heads? How's our minds? Are we staying out of trouble? Are we not corrupting the young music scene themselves? Dogs in the Piles with me today. Let's go. What's up, boys? Hey, yo. How you doing?

What's up? Man, it's been with me today. Let's go. What's up, boys? Hey, yo. How you doing? What's up? Man, it's been fun so far. I love it. You guys are the best. You guys just sound so good. And it's like every time you just keep getting better. It's like I'm not like your dad or anything, but I just see you guys grow up every year.

Like, how old are you guys now? We're both 24, right? Yep. 24 fucking years old. What's the difference between touring with us versus touring with other bands? Dude, you guys are like our best friends off the bat. Let's fucking go. We love you guys, man.

It's like you're literally chilling with your best friends all the time, just going nuts. I love it. Dude, we want to pass the ball around. We're here friends all the time just like going nuts i love it dude i mean we wanna you know we like to pass the ball around you know and uh we're here for you and it's it's so cool you guys had such a fucking crazy ass run how long you guys i feel like you've been on the road forever this year yeah pretty much since february since jam cruise right i always know it was uh gem and jam in

arizona and then jam cruise and just like really hasn't stopped since then. What was the shittiest gig? Sticky's Rock & Roll Shack, but it actually... In Little Rock? In Little Rock, yeah. By the way, we're going to Little Rock next week, guys. What happened to the show? It wasn't a bad gig. We actually played well, and the people that were there enjoyed it,

but there were just like 15 people there. We actually played Freebird, though and we did yeah yeah dude so i heard i heard it yelled in the back and i put the mic close oh yeah so i heard it yelled in the back and i was like i was like you know what fuck it let's just do i pulled out my phone and just held it and didn't play yeah dude i realized after the show it was nick who yelled it and i wasn't really if it was some random guy that's hilarious dude do those more bummed. That's hilarious. Do those shows bum you out? Like the low crowd or is that kind of the nights where you get to experiment and shit?

I mean, yeah, definitely the latter. When it first starts and you see the one guy that came at showtime, that sucks. But then you get a couple more people, you start playing and you stop worrying about what's going on. And you just kind of go for it. You start getting the living room vibes. It's like, all right, what do you want to hear? And then the experimental shit. That's when it gets cool.

Because there's literally no one here. We're in the studio space, but on a stage. Do you guys get tired yet? Are you old enough to get tired? Yeah, I'm a tired boy, personally. I like myself. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm a tired boy personally. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking bad dudes. Cause like, um, you guys are getting big so fast. It's, it's pretty cool to see. Do you feel that trajectory too? Or do you feel like it's like, ah, shit, we've been working at this for so long. It's finally coming. Or do you feel like there's more room to grow? Like what's your mind state on it?

Oh yeah. There's definitely, definitely always room to grow? Like, what's your mind state on it? Oh, yeah. There's definitely always room to grow and do things differently, maybe better. But different is good, you know? Keeping things fresh for us and for the fans that have been there for... I mean, it's only been about two years as like a real touring act, even though we've been together closer to four. Right.

But, yeah. And, oh, yeah. What was the other question? I don't know. Dude, you know, it's easier to like um when we're it's it's easier to to not think about like how things are going on the outside like to like force it because then like it's almost like we're just it's the same thing every night and you're just like focusing and it just gets better slowly and slowly and then at a point

it's like oh shit now we're comfortable and we're able to do what we want. It's kind of a trickle, too. We start in the bars, and then you get to... You do an inside pony thing, and it's half full, maybe. And then that grows and grows. But you're still playing to 15 people in Little Rock right after you sell out the pony. It keeps you humble.

And it feels natural, you know? Because we get to do the bigger rooms With you guys, we just got off the pigeons run We've been in some really nice rooms now So we're starting to get that itch Here we go It was interesting too because we did those two big shows Locally, the Philly gig and the New York gig

It was headline Almost sold out Where our hometown was And then from that to going on Pigeon Store, opening every night is just, like, a big, like, whoa. Okay. All right. We got some work to do, man. Yeah.

It's like, you know, because, like, your jam band, you spread out all your songs. You have to, like, be considerate about how long you're spreading out those songs because you're only playing an hour. You're like, oh, fuck. We're still on the first song. Let's play three. Have you ever fucked that? Have you ever done that? Like that? Like, you have, like, an opening set and, like, you, fuck, we're still on the first song. Let's play three. Have you ever done that? You have an opening set and

you're only two songs in. Set's almost done. We've taken to speeding. We got this one tune called Charlie and we've taken to speeding up the ending because it's typically a closer. So if we're running short on time, we'll just play it at three times tempo. Let's get to the point, boys.

Let's get to the point. It. Let's get to the point. It just keeps rising sometimes. It's like, we're getting closer. Get speed up. I fucking love it, dude. Yeah, it's like we have a big year with us. We're doing a lot of shows next. We haven't announced the other ones yet,

but that's going to be fucking huge. Yeah, I'm super stoked, man. I can't wait to announce that because that's just what we're about to do with these boys and some other boys. It's just going to be fucking silly. Oh, my God, yeah. But we love it. Do you eat edibles, John?

Yeah, so I didn't like them for a while for no reason just because I didn't do them. And now I can't stop eating them. They're the best. Have you ever had Dialed In Gummies yet? No. Let me tell you about Dialed In Gummies. Dialed In Gummies is our, a World Saving Podcast sponsor. They are in the Colorado area.

So if you're looking for the best gummies, they're 100%. They're solventless, and they're homologized. And what that means is there's a little bit. It's a perfect dose. So if you only want a half, if it's 10 milligrams, and you only want one-fourth of 10 milligrams, all you have to do is cut in half or cut in fourth i can't my brain's fucking i drank 25 shots last night guys oh man yeah i i see your parents and see i don't want to i you're okay so this is the cutest shit

ever jimmy's parents have been touring with us i saw them making them hamburgers Before the set It was a fucking cookout It was a Jimmy Cook The family of Jimmy Was making hamburgers for the boys I'm afraid to black out in front of them So I'll go to the bar and drink But I won't Because I don't want to be a bad influence

I feel like I got to take care of you boys I don't want to So I ran to the bar right after the set. And I guess all the fans from the show came out and just 20 shots. And I threw up in the bathroom. And it was a bad situation. Come on, you're more of a pro than that. I know.

Well, I rallied. I saw your boys. Your boys showed up at 2 a.m. I'm like, nothing happened. Just like, so what I'm trying to tell you is please drink responsibly. You're not a guy who drinks. You guys do psychedelics, right? Yeah, sure. Indeed.

What kind of psychedelics do you like? You know, the trippy ones. You ever play a show on acid? Dude, I swear. Hog Farm was one of the coolest experiences. Some orange sunshine. What happened? The vibe there is like you're walking of the coolest experiences. Some orange sunshine. What happened? And dude, I don't know.

The vibe there is like you're walking into the 60s, like straight up. Yeah, it was just like heady in general. Hold on, hold on. I explained this. What happened? You know, Wavy Gravy? Yeah.

It's Wavy Gravy's place. Shut the fuck up. It's like, hey, we're at Wavy Gravy's place. We might as well take some L and trip dick. Exactly. So is it, do you like playing on Acid? Is it, do you like kind of space out? Is it too spacey?

I don't know. I feel like I'd lose myself. Yeah, for me, acid is a little spacey. I like mushrooms. Yeah, that's my point.

Dude, I went at Hog Farm. It felt like everyone, I think everyone was on Simirel that night because like it was going around, whatever. And it tuned in.

I felt tuned in with everyone that night. It's cooler when everyone else is on it though, you know, in the band. But I was like solo that night, I think. Do you guys go on like any of these like psychedelic experiments where like you'll just take the band out, like the doors,

go out to the desert, go to Joshua Tree, write a whole record? Have you done that yet with the band? I think it should be soon. I think it's bonding time. We did it in our like grungy studio. Hold time. We did it in our grungy studio. You have a grungy studio? Oh, yeah. What's that about?

Stinks. It's a little mildewy. So what? Where is it? In Asbury? Yeah, not too far from there. It's so insane that you live in that. Have you ever met Springsteen?

For a second. What happened? I had a neighbor that was with us. We were at a show at the Pony and he was at the bar and we walked up and my neighbor freaked out and scared him away and he ran off. Hugged him. You're like, bro! That could have been my moment to meet the boss!

It feels like everyone knows Bruce in that town. I don't know. Does he really live there still? I honestly don't know I think he's local He's within 25 minutes He's probably living somewhere Princeton

So we're day three in the tour We're in Columbus, Ohio What tricks do you have up your sleeve For tonight and tomorrow? Do you have more tricks? Every set has been different Which has been really beautiful to see. I want to know, when is it where you'll start repeating songs? I guess we try to go as far as possible.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah. You do that every time? So, what about, like, what's your philosophy about, like, regions? Like, say, like, you have a great new song and Jersey heard it, but you're on the West Coast. Will you play it in the West Coast?

Yeah, definitely. You won't play all the same songs in that big region. What's a 10-hour difference? We're not quite so mathematical about it. It's more of a feeling thing. We try to think back like,

oh, last time we played this area, what did we do? Either try to repeat something that went well maybe or don't play anything that we played that night. God, you guys are like a real jam band. Yeah, real. Real jam band. None of them are real anyway.

It's all made up. You guys have been working on your vocals too. The harmonies are sounding good. Is's all made up. You guys have been working on your vocals too. The harmonies are sounding good. Is that something you've been focusing on? Yeah, it's definitely come more into focus recently. Why now over before? We weren't good enough to play and sing at the same time before.

Oh, my boys. I fucking love you guys so much. It's so nice being with a band that is still happy to be on the road. Our band, we don't talk to each other until it's fucking showtime. Everyone just disperses. Like, get the fuck out of my face. You guys are like, hey, let's go cook some burgers together.

You guys, I brought some Kool-Aid. Let's fucking go. It's like, God, that's the best thing about the road is the camaraderie. Do you agree? Do you feel like you get closer to your brothers when you're sleeping in a van with them? I mean, we're figuring it out. It's, you know, like you were saying, it's been pretty, pretty quick. And so, like, we're not really used to any one aspect of it yet, but we're honing in how we work as a group.

And so, it's, you know, by By and large I would say it's a steady Steady incline and we're figuring it out But there's ups and downs Has anyone fought each other? Have you gotten in a fist fight with your bros? Maybe just Accidentally someone's constipated Or accidentally someone Yeah that did happen yesterday

We haven't thrown fists but we What happened? We say fuck you Yeah what'd you say? It was me and Nick. Nick was backing up the truck And I was just like, oh come on, let's get a move on We were a little late And he was like, I gotta poop I was like, get the fuck out and poop and I'll do it

Oh, I love it Brian, get over here, let's talk for a second We got Mr. Shyman Brian, how you doing? Welcome to the show Thanks, thanks for having me Lay down a little bit so you can be in there Have you fought anyone in this band yet?

No, not physically But emotionally? Just straight up passive aggressively Like you motherfuckers Well Jeremy and I like wrestled one time. What happened? On the beach? It was very romantic. We were on the beach.

We were like, I guess we should wrestle now. And we did. Yeah, it was adorable. It's like that scene in Borat. We're a man. We're a man. They start wrestling and all of a sudden, these two dudes are just fucking each other on the beach. No, no. I mean, you never know. You still have a lot of years of being in a band.

I've had my share of love making my band. No, I'm just kidding. I did have a threesome with one of my band members way back in the day. But we'll talk about it another time. You can't disclose it. Well, we were 24. We were young kids.

This is what I'm saying. You need to get into that experimental shit, boys. Take some acid. Run naked in the beach. Go out there and fucking find yourselves. I love you guys so much. Dog, so what's your next tour schedule looking like? This episode comes out on Tuesday.

Where are you guys playing? We got two headlining dates. I guess if it's coming out on Tuesday this weekend, that would be Roanoke and Raleigh. Oh, cool. Yeah, and then we got another couple of days off before our two big pony hits, 15 and 16. You're playing a stone pony?

We're looking at recording dates in March. What does pre-production look for you guys? Thumb up the ass, mostly. He's trying to pick the songs that we've been really annoyed that we haven't finished with yet. What do you guys... Are lyrics important to you guys? Absolutely not.

It's all about the heady jams, my brother. If it's not a heady jam, it's not making the fucking record. Hammer-ons and bends, ask Sean. Sorry, I keep fucking moving this camera. I can't keep my feet still. Don't worry. We love you guys. Be safe out there.

And I'm like, oh, I'm not supposed to be here. Oh, y'all haven't figured this shit out yet. And so I'm just like like i'm about to get kicked out at any moment like fucking live it up i always feel like the like the kid that snuck backstage or something like that like i so i yeah i'm just i'm living it up till i wake up from this dream i'm definitely having when did you when were you funny when did you start thinking like, oh shit, I'm funny. Oh God, from the beginning. The womb. Oh. Actually, no. I never

thought I could do stand-up comedy. I did. I was in college. I was at South Carolina. I was in a sorority. Nice. Holy shit. Hold on. That's a party school. What was that? Were you hoeing? Were you ho-ers? Did you have any ho-ers in your life?

It wasn't active ho. I wasn't like, I'm horny. I'm a fucking guy or whatever. I was blacked out all the time, and I would just wake up naked a lot. Really? So regular college. That sounds like fucked up, but it wasn't. I think I was just like, guys, I'm fucked up, and I need some shelter tonight.

So it wasn't like I was horny. I was just more fucking for shelter. I don't know why I said that. No, I'm like the same way. That's how I was too. I don't know. I was having sex and getting fucking hammered in college just to not feel anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're like, no, I want to be your princess tonight. Do you like me? Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're just talking to some also like teenage or 20 year old boy in khakis and a polo or a PFG

shirt. And you're like, man, I really want Kyle to like me. And then you look back and you're like, Kyle's I really want Kyle to like me. And then you look back and you're like, Kyle's a douchebag. No, he's selling used cars. Yeah, you were so desperate for college kids to like you. What was the worst blackout that you have?

My worst blackout? Like, you were actually embarrassed of yourself. Oh, that's a deep, dark secret. Then tell us the second one. This is so... I think I said I would never say that. Guys, I don't think I...

I'm going to say it. Let's say it. Talk to us. No, you're going to... We're musicians. Your darkness is probably not as hard as our alcoholic darkness. Y'all are going to go,

no, this is gross. I'm ready for it. Like poo-poo pee-pee gross. I'm ready. Hell yeah. You hated it already. No, I'm in. I'm in. Guys, you're going to look at me so differently after I say this. I can't wait. I always said I was going to take this to my grave. I was so bad. I was addicted in college. I was not prescribed

Adderall, but everybody under the sun was because they were whites. And so they had they're like you're white you gotta eat it in yeah yeah um so I would just be like taking yeah my friends Ritalin or their Vyvanse or their Adderall and also whatever pill I could get my hands on so sometimes it was a 60 sometimes it was a 20 whatever the fuck whatever I could get my hands on that night so I remember remember I was in South Carolina, and I came home to Kentucky to see my family,

and I went with my mom and my brother. We went and had food at an Ethiopian restaurant. And then I went down to Lexington, Kentucky, to go hang out with my friend who played volleyball at UK. And we were with all these athletes. She played volleyball. She dated a soccer player from France. And I just remember I took an Adderall and like when I took an Adderall, it was like immediately I black out.

And it was like, yeah, I was I was I'm so weak. And I just this is so gross. I just remember the next morning, like waking up in her bed and one of her dresses and was like, I... Have you ever had that feeling? I'm pretty sure I shit my pants. Oh, yeah, yeah. Or did I shit my pants? I definitely absolutely shit. She goes... This is so gross.

She goes... Her boyfriend's name was Anthony. She's like, so I think you went home with his friend. At one point point he came out and he was like hey stephanie um i did she have a change of clothes and do you have a change of sheets oh my god this is so good i don't like shit my pants all the time anyways so i you don't give off that energy really so i'm pretty sure i blacked out shit shit shit my friend's address

and then so i it's an hour drive home from Lexington to Louisville. And I drove home. All I could think about was this. And I walk in my house and my mom and my brother are sitting at the kitchen table. Oh, no. Oh, my God. We were up all night with diarrhea. Something happened with that Ethiopian food.

And they just go, did you feel it? And I was like, yeah, I think I did. So did my best friend's boyfriend. Yeah, there's some boy who doesn't, he's like, I'm going back to France. I'm not fucking staying here in Kentucky. I'm not giving a shit how free of a ride that is. I just had

a Kentucky girl shit my bed. She can't handle Ethiopian food. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'll admit the time I shat myself too then I was on one of these cruises And I was snorting Adderall And I was drinking

You know the all inclusive cruises are just the shitty alcohol Yeah And I woke up I was throwing up And I guess I passed out by the toilet And then I also shit myself So I was throwing up and shitting myself. Because you had like

food poisoning or alcohol poisoning. It was alcohol poisoning for sure. But you know when you're just trying to get it all out and you just don't, it doesn't feel like vomit is throwing up so you push harder and all of a sudden you shit yourself too. Yeah, I know. I don't talk about poop this much

but I'm so excited we're doing it okay two things I have a theory have you guys ever almost like poop your pants in Target I think they pop something into the Target air because

first of all it's Starbucks right when you walk in I know I know but sometimes I don't even have the Starbucks but I can't I have thrown so many panties away in the Target bathroom. Oh my God. This is so gross. I don't talk about this as much, but I feel so free on this shit.

I can't believe I'm talking about poop so much. That's fine. I have truly, it's probably happened six times, and then I've gotten bought a pair a pack of Target underwear and I'm like they did this on purpose they

I know I know Gilligan or whatever their underwear brand is I have a lot of it and it I did I wasn't going to Target

for underwear that day for sure it's like poopamones yes I think they pump like you know how like in casinos they pump oxygen or whatever?

Target is pumping some poop juice. Laxative. Laxative in the air. Yeah, some laxative in the air. Have you ever been afraid that you're going to poop your pants on stage? Yes. A couple times.

Yes, when I'm drinking too much. Do you... Like, that's actually one of my worst fears. Really? And I think it's like a... It's like a nerve thing I think maybe like if you're like excited and you get that like anxious for sure kind of thing oh yeah but I think but they say when you're on stage the adrenaline like keeps you from doing it but I

one day that will happen like I'm so afraid one day to like just have I'm I'm just like I'm committed to an act out you know what I mean and I'm like into an act out. You know what I mean? And I'm like into the act out and all of a sudden I just go, too far, too far, too far. And I know I've pooped my pants, but I have like 33 more minutes on stage. And then I have to contemplate. Do I just say it?

Or do I just like, or do I keep going with my set and then in the middle of my set I go, guys, who fucking shook their pants? What are you dudes out there? And then I'm like, well, that's a great riff. And that's an Instagram reel. I don't know.

But what about like when you're like, what about like, have you like, what was the biggest nervous feeling you've had during a show? Like opening maybe was your first big arena show. I mean, you've been doing arena shows now. Or was it like your first time doing stand up? What was the first time you really was like, I don't know if I could handle this, the anxiety, or do you not get nerves like that?

No, I get bad nerves. Because I didn't grow up like a theater kid. I didn't grow up performing on stage. So I wasn't, it wasn't until my 20s when I started it. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I wasn't, it wasn't until my 20s when I started it. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. I was, I did, so I was college.

There was, oh, I forgot to say this. It was a fraternity and they had like this competition every year called Miss Venus. It essentially was like a pageant and every sorority had to intern a girl and you had to do like a Q&A and then you had to do like a talent and you had to bring in one of the pledges and you were assigned a pledge and the pledge had to do the talent with you and I've seen it before and and

that's so gross why would you do that? People always did like sexy dances or something like that and I couldn't I couldn't dance and so I wrote a opening monologue remember Chelsea Handler had her show Chelsea Lately? Chelsea Lately, yeah. see dances or something like that and I could I couldn't dance and so I wrote a opening

monologue remember Chelsea Handler had her show Chelsea Lately I wrote an open monologue like I was Chelsea Handler and I roasted all the frat guys and then we wrote a sketch like we were doing an interview and he was Charlie Sheen at the time remember when Charlie Sheen was winning Tiger Blood the Tiger Blood era

and I won and I was obsessed with it and that was probably one of my like that and then like i graduated and like i still i was like i think they did stand-up comedy then and i was i i like i could not get it out of my head and um i started doing open mics like uh shortly after that after i graduated And for the first two years, it wasn't about like learning how to write jokes. I truly had to like just figure out how to stand on stage in front of people. Like if you put a figure in the back,

like on my tongue, I would have thrown up on stage in front of people. I had to just like, yeah, my first two years was just fighting stage fright before even like learning how to write a joke. Did you feel like you were more funny then without overthinking or do you feel like you needed the chops to actually write bits or not? Oh, no, I wasn't funny at all.

Oh, yeah, I wrote hacky shit that I thought, you know, you saw on the internet and I was like, I was obsessed with it, but I didn't know how to do it. And then one night it was open mic in a basement in Atlanta. So it was like in a basement and they had like a spotlight. It was like, I don't, it was such a weird setting. And I just, my mom passed away. I was 22 and I started comedy like a year after that. And I, I remember I like kind of had this bit about, like, it was hard. I had to dress her for the casket because I was the only girl. And I, I didn't, I was struggling to figure out which like dress to put her in.

Because I was like, we're the same size. And I, you know, if it's cute, I was struggling to figure out which like dress to put her in because I was like, we're the same size and I, you know, if it's cute, I want to keep it. Yeah, you don't want to waste it. Was your mom hot?

Yeah. Yeah. She was super hot. Yeah, she was Southern suburban hot. Yeah. For sure. She was so fucking funny.

Were you close with her? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were like, we were like two peas in a pod and I mean, I definitely went through

my adolescent years where I was a pain in the ass. And she was definitely going through some shit too. But we probably would have been super, super close had she not quit life. Jesus Christ. Has she committed. But 22, I mean, that must have been tough for her passing if you were so close to her. Were you coping with the pain through comedy and laughing?

Yeah. Oh, for sure. That's when I had this job that I was doing very well at. I was very young and was rising the ranks. I was a manager for the company that staffs the securities and ushers and ticket takers for arenas and stadiums. Oh, in Atlanta? Well, I was in Orlando at the Amway. And I came up here for a smaller venue.

And then I started comedy. My mom passed. I started comedy. But I was still doing that. And then I got offered AT&T Stadium, Dallas Cowboys Stadium as like the top dog. Running there. Yeah. And I was like.

I know. And I was like Damn I know and I was like I My mom had just died And I was like And I was like living like Every day In a venue Like you know

You have a load out And then load in It's a 14 hour day And you never ever leave And I was like Fuck this I don't give a shit Like I want to live

My life A little bit Did your parents like Make you go to school Graduate Get a job? Did they think comedy wasn't a... It wasn't even a thought. It wasn't even a thought.

I still have friends from college to this day that are like, when are you going to give that up? Same. They can't fathom that. They're like, how's that music thing going? That's so cute. And you're killing it. And they still say that?

Yeah. They're like, so when are you gonna get a job now? Time's ticking. Still happens. Why do people do that to artists? They don't think...

They need art so bad. They need music. They need comedy all the time, but they're still not taking it seriously as a job. I think it's... I mean, it's a hard it seriously as a job. I think it's... It's a hard thing to fathom. I think there's people... One of my best friends, Tori, she's an architect. She just does...

Our brains are too different. We might as well be two different species. She cannot wrap her head around... She's great and she's doing great in life, but she's like, I budget and I da-da-da. here's my plan for the future and da da da da da da and like the way i live my life would be she would i mean i think she would be suicidal like she can't like like fathom she's type a she's extremely type a though yeah and it doesn't even like we

essentially are different species i think but were you like that as a kid? No. I mean, I think I was, yeah, I was definitely like doing my, I was always playing like pretend shit. You know what I mean? Like when everybody else had moved on, when everybody else was like moved on to sports and shit. And I was like, no, I still want to play horses.

Yeah. And I would play, this is fucked up, but I played homeless with my little brother a lot. Hold on, what is homeless? Like you'd act pretend homeless? Yeah, because it looked like an adventure. It is. And we would, no, this is fucked up. We lived in a neighborhood

and I would put my brother in the red ragged because my parents both worked and so they didn't know what we were doing. And I would wheel my brother in the red ragged because my parents both worked and so they didn't know what we were doing and I would wheel him up to the front of the neighborhood and we would okay I'm not making fun of it I was a naive kid we would get

cardboard signs oh my god and we would go we'll work for food people would drive by and see them yeah yeah yeah there's something about a kid I've been trying to work on a bit about it those kids that played like People drive by and see them? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's something about a kid. I've been trying to work on a bit about it. Those kids that played make-believe games all the time, but they were always tragic situations.

I don't know why it was. It was like this, you forever always wanted to be the damsel in distress. I don't know what that is psychologically, but it wasn't cute games. It was like, Save me. We have to put food on the table We're going to starve to death We have to survive

Like we were always playing survival games I don't know why Were you a latchkey kid? Yes for sure Maybe that's part of it You just were like I want to suffer Exactly Did you have friends when you were a kid?

Huh? Were you a loner when you were a kid or did you have friends? What do you think? I mean, I think you had friends actually. I didn't talk. I mean, I would just do all this fake wrestling and fake talk to myself in the mirror and shit. I would do crazy shit and I realized, oh yeah, I was just lonely. Yeah, but

did you have siblings? I had two older sisters. Were they doing that too or were they just doing normal kid shit? They're doing normal kid shit but they're eight years older than me. So I didn't really get to have a childhood with them. It's kind of like being an only child pretty much at that point. How old was your brother?

I had one that was, I still do, two years older and then one that's five years younger. But both of our parents marked him. We were just alone

all the time and I think I just, there's like, people that have imaginations and then people that are like task oriented. Yeah. And like,

they're just, they're like, I was very much more like an imagination I always wanted to play and my brothers were like I was such a black sheep in my family they were like you're a fucking weirdo were you always beautiful? thank you so much yes

go on ask more about that it's like I don't know when like maybe people were intimidated to hang out with you because you're always so pretty. Oh, that's very nice. No, I wasn't. I was a very awkward kid. And my brothers were, uh,

they weren't interested in feeding that beast at all. They were like, calm down, bitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're ugly. You're ugly. They hate it now. Even now, like, I'll go to family functions and I'll have,

my dad's one of 10. So on that side, I have seven cousins. Yeah. And there'll be people who are like, I don't know very well. And they'll be like,

oh, Heather, it's so cool to see you. I tell people, da, da, da. And my brothers will be like, yeah, right. This is bullshit. Moving on.

Let's take a shot. Like, they can't, they don't want to live in the... Maybe they're jealous. I don't think it's jealous. I think it's just like... I have an annoying sister, and I don't want to hear other people fanning out about her.

Oh, she don't know the truth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If we went out, I remember as a kid, and somebody would give me a compliment, my mom would go, well, she's meaner than a snike. Like, we... I like that accent. That's a very Kentucky accent. and somebody would give me a compliment, my mom would go, well, she's meaner than a snike. Like we, like it was, it was. I love that accent. That's a very Kentucky accent.

Why don't you have a Southern accent? She does a little. I don't know. Cause both my parents grew up on tobacco farms. They're very, like very farmer. And then I went to South Carolina for school and I was in Georgia. And I don't, so it doesn't make sense.

I should have all these different kind of southern accents, a combination of a cocktail, if you will. So I don't know. When I go home and I talk to my family, it'll come back. But it's very weird. I think I just didn't.

Did you have very very like Elizabeth Town? Have you seen the movie Elizabeth Town from Kentucky? That movie. Was it Kirsten Dunst? It was Kirsten Dunst or Lando Bloom. I remember it. What happened? It was just the dad died and they went back to Kentucky to see all 20.

Like the big family reunions. If your dad had like 10, How big were your family reunions? They're like... We have to go to a park or something. Or like a big venue. So you had family reunions? Oh, yeah. You still do?

Oh, yeah. So what's it like going back and saying, Hey, I'm a comedian in LA. What's that? My family is so like... They're the sweetest Most southern people But they don't

That doesn't even faze them Like they can't They can't fathom That that's really a thing Right They're like Well that's a cute thing That you're doing

Right exactly Like you know People are so sweet And southern And like Down to earth That you're like No I'm doing like

Big shit And they're like Well sure you are Sweetheart Do you want some more corn? It's got to be fucking annoying to go to the family reunions when people are just belittling your dreams. Oh, no.

They're like, no. I love it because you're in LA and there's people like, I got to get this. I'm this. And everybody's feeling like no one recognizes their star. And everybody's anxious or whatever. And then you go back to this and you realize like, oh, there's a simple life. Everyone here isn't completely desperate.

Right, right, right. And there's good people that are just simple and kindhearted. And you go, Catherine, you're not. You shut up, you Spinner the snake bitch You know Yeah yeah yeah Stop acting like You're that important

And you're not It's a good It's a good like I don't know if humbling Is the word Or just like a reminder That there's people That like

Aren't all caught up In Just the grind Who they are And how everybody else Is seeing them And what they get There's just like

Good simple people Going to work And having some kids Yeah That's what's fucked up about I grew up in LA And I had to deal with that My whole life

And I think that's what scarred me Of knowing I'm never good enough Because no one gave a shit About your art Because everyone's so self-absorbed With their own fucking shit Dude It's fucked up

I'm telling you Because I just moved to LA I was in Atlanta Even just I experienced that Just doing shows Like the audience Yeah because I just moved to LA. I was in Atlanta. I experienced that just doing shows. The audience, if they don't have their arms crossed, they are in their mind.

It's like you start off a show and everybody has their arms crossed and they're like, I'm also an artist. Let's see what you can do. I can probably do all of that too. That kind of feels like the attitude. Oh, yeah. I totally went to LA on the karaoke. Sean Payton

saw me. I was just like this, watching a comedian sing. He's like looking at me like, bro, stop judging a comedian on the karaoke. He doesn't want what you have. He's not going to take it. Nashville's like that for music too, I feel like.

Whenever you play in Nashville, they're very much like that. Why are we so passive aggressive too? Everyone's so passive aggressive in fucking L.A. too. Yeah, but it's like Pavlov's dog. Is that the word? No, that's not it. That's the training with the bells. Yeah, you get what I fucking mean.

No, it's like it does it to you. Yeah. Because everybody is, you're seeing somebody else who's desperate and wants stuff. And you're like, I got to be like that too if I don't get stuff. Yeah, I mean, this is a... Life's weird, dude. Art is, it's a fucked up thing where like the best stuff comes when you kind of let shit go. Right.

And you kind of like take your foot off the gas pedal and you can appreciate shit. And I think that's when you create the best shit. But then you also have to like be reminded to put your foot back on the gas pedal and be hungry and relentless with shit. And it's just this like back and forth that it turns you into a monster. Right. Yeah. You're like constantly desperate. How hard is it to let things go for you?

I've never let anything go in my entire life. I remember everything. What's something you still think about at this age? A million things uh this is so fucked up i should i keep saying i'm not going to talk about it anymore but i keep talking about it okay i like no i can't talk about it again i keep saying i'm gonna i i had a boyfriend in high school and i cheated on him and then he uh he hooked up with this girl who like who would used to be from my hometown but she left to be a model and she come back and visit and she grew up to be jennifer lawrence oh oh my god

like i was told that story like three times on podcast and now i'm scared to go back home to louisville kentucky because people are like you're so obsessed with jennifer lawrence I was told that story like three times on podcast. And now I'm scared to go back home to Louisville, Kentucky. Cause people are like, you're so obsessed with Jennifer Lawrence. You have to let it go. You have to move on. But like, what if you see her in LA? She's so far beyond me. She's going to be like, oh cool.

That one party that I hooked up with your plebe boyfriend. I don't give a shit. I'm going to go. Was she your friend though? No. That's this'm going to go. Was she your friend though? No. That's this weird fucked up thing. Yeah.

Well, she was like, she would come back and she was from Louisville but she left and she would come back and her cousin Carrie was like

a friend of mine within the bigger circle. Uh-huh. But I really should just No, fuck that. Be catty. I'd be catty. No, I should just move on. I think she's doing all right. I know she's doing all right but I really should just no fuck that be catty I'd be catty

no I should just move on I know she's doing alright but I think I've always said that's actually probably why I got into comedy cause I cause I always I remember like always wanting to do theater and like act but I was too afraid to tell my parents that cause they'd be like

you? come on I didn't want to be embarrassed and then and then you're like watching this girl who actually ended up like living out the things that you were not brave enough to admit that you wanted to try yeah and then she also also hooked up with your boyfriend that you cheated on so it was really a big dagger in my heart but i've moved on and i don't give a shit anymore i don't even i practically never remember that it happened were your parents still together until your mom passed?

Yeah, they were and they shouldn't have been. Really? Yeah, it was pretty fucked up. And then my dad remarried a woman. He proposed to her I think maybe around a year after my mom died.

Yeah. And then she didn't want to live in the house, my family house. She didn't want to be around my family dog. Wow. So, like, my mom passed. And then, like, within a couple years,

my dad got rid of all my mom's stuff without telling me. What? Oh, he, like, didn't even give you a chance to take it? Because she wanted him to get rid of all the stuff. Right. Yeah. And then he sold my childhood home. My dog, he, like, kind of kicked of all the stuff. He sold my childhood home. My dog, he kind of kicked out of the

house. He had to go live with my brother in college. What? Do you have a band of issues? Probably. I don't know. I haven't lived in the same home for over two years. I've skipped

homes, whatever, like I've skipped homes, whatever, like apartments, rental stuff for probably like 10 years now. And I'm like, hey, I don't know. I'm more happy on the run. Were you a serial relationship-er?

Like were you always in relationships? No, it's weird. I've always been in like three to four year long relationships. Really? Yeah, I know. Yeah.

Is this your longest relationship? Yeah. How long is it? Three and a half. Holy shit. I'll clap to that. That's a pretty healthy event. We're pretty healthy though. But I...

Stepmoms is a hard job. It's a hard... But they were like... I was like 25 when they got married. So she didn't have to do anything. She's just a bitch. She's just a bitch? Yeah. I applaud people that are good women or men who want to step into a family that's already established.

That's a hard thing. For sure. When you're just a fucking evil human being and you get rid of all the kids shit. To be fair, they do come in on an even playing ground. All the kids are going to automatically not like them at first. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Other step parents are cool. People pull it off. I know, I know. I think I'm going to be a lesbian in my 40s probably at that point. And then I know I will be a step mother at some point. The marriage won't last, but I know I'll be a step mom. Have you ever been with a woman?

No, I haven't. Really? Yeah. I always thought I was going to be gay, but I'd never been with a man. I think the same thing. I think I'm gay without the sexual. If I could be asexual, that'd be fucking perfect for me. I think I'm asexual.

Yeah? Is it hard for you to be intimate with your dude now after three and a half years? Just rather not just be fun with it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just like, I'm just down. Just a plant? Yeah, I'm like, I'm doing like jokes through it and he's like, dude, come on. It's four minutes.

Can you just shut up for four minutes? You don't need to be doing bits. Maybe it's the intimacy thing. Maybe we're scared of intimacy. 110 billion trillion percent. What scares you of intimacy? I don't like to be vulnerable

or because growing up, my family, when you cried, it was like, haha, I got you. I was like haha i got you i beat oh yeah i broke you down yeah yeah so i think it's like you're so afraid to be like because you feel like you lost are you more alone on the road or off the road uh i i'm honest that sounds that's an interesting question i feel more alone off the road because I'm so

obsessed with my work. I love it. I love working on something new. During the day, I'm like, well, this is perfect. I'm going to go write and then I get to go do my show at night. Then when I'm off the road, I feel like I'm wasting my time.

I'm so eager to get back to it. It's hard to be a human after you've been on the road for so long. You try to like, what is home? I sleep better when I'm in a hotel. You feel productive? Does that make sense? Yeah, 100%.

I don't like... I admire comics who have other hobbies and I'm like how do you turn your brain off from this obsession onto another obsession because I feel like if I got another hobby I've always wanted to start horseback riding but I'm like oh well I

what if I don't dedicate enough time to comedy and then I'm not as good I give up time it's like such a sick thinking everything always goes back to comedy and then I'm not as good. I give up time. It's like such a sick thinking. Everything always goes back to comedy? For me? Absolutely. Damn.

But I don't know. I don't know if it's healthy or not. But I'm like, but I also just love it and I'm obsessed with it and I want to get better. I don't think it's... No, I think that's...

I mean, people are afraid to dedicate their life to something. Everybody needs something, man. Even if it's just having kids. Because I started music late too. I started music when I was 18. So I didn't have that... something. Everybody needs something, man. Even if it's just having kids. Because I started music late, too. I started music when I was 18. So I didn't have that.

Yeah, yeah. A lot of... He started, what, 10? I played my first pay gig when I was 15. I had a weekly when I was 15. Yeah. What, for your grandma? It was like a little jazz, you know, duo at a seafood restaurant.

It was like 70 bucks a week. But when you're 15... Hey, grandma, let me play the sax for you, baby girl. But when you're 15, like 70 bucks a week is kind of a lot of money. That's a shit ton. It was like 70 bucks a week. But when you're 15, let me play the sax for you, baby girl. But when you're 15, like 70 bucks a week is kind of a lot of money. That's a shit ton. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I would have murdered someone. Felt rich. I wish I had 70 bucks right now, to be honest. Well, how, is that restaurant still in business? It's called Paula's Seafood in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Oh, Fort Wayne. Hell yeah. Exactly. You've been there. Yeah, no, I know about Fort Wayne. And Fort Wayne looks And Fort Wayne looks... Summit City. Fort Wayne, when you drive around and everything still looks colonial.

Yeah, it's kind of because it's an old city. It was like from the 1700s. French and Indian War. It was a fort. It's a little offensive. I didn't build it. Yeah. I just live there.

So you can say whatever you want about it. I love it. There's some good people there, though. There's a lot of columns. A lot of columns. There's a fort. There's some good people there, though. There's a lot of columns. A lot of columns. There's a fort. There's still remnants of people being slaughtered. Mostly Native Americans.

Were you raised poor? No, I wasn't raised poor. I was super middle class. Super middle class. The most middle class you can be. Why'd you pick South Carolina to go to college? My brother middle class you can be why'd you pick south carolina to go to college um i my uh uh my old my brother was two years older he went to lexington he went to uk and lexington which was an hour south and so i my junior and senior year i was like driving down there almost every weekend

and going out to visit my brother right and I was still in high school and had a reputation on the college campus already. And so I had to get the fuck out of Kentucky. I can't go here. I'm already popular. Yeah. But I figured out a way

to get in-state tuition in South Carolina. Yeah. Oh, you did? That's cool. Yeah. That's ASMR for you guys Our musician fans will fucking love that actually

Somebody's jerking off to that Someone's jerking off to that I was always just like ready to run At any moment I loved like just getting the fuck out Doing something That was me too Every weekend

I was booking shows when I was like 13, 14 I would go to Arizona What? Yeah, I'd go to ASU It's the first time I got HPV I got HPV and fucking ASU Were you a child? Yeah, I was addicted to sex when I was 13

I was 18 Were you splooshing then? I was 18 So yeah you were splooshing I was splooshing I remember the first time I beat up Maybe this is too much for you guys Did you hear my poop story earlier?

So I used to beat off when I was like second grade, third grade. I would just look at my dick and just like hope come came out. Okay, I have... Like a shooting star? No, I've been wondering this. No, you're going to answer my question

because Pete Lee was telling... He had sex with her son when he was 11. Yeah. Can you ejaculate? I started cumming when I was in fourth grade. How old is that? 11. Yeah. Can you ejaculate? I started cumming when I was in fourth grade. How old is that? 11. But before that, could you have an orgasm without...

I had an orgasm. I remember putting my dick in my parents' jacuzzi tub. And I would do... Every time they were at work, I would just put my dick on the jacuzzi tub. Parents' jacuzzi tub is the name of a 7th grade English teacher. I'm like, whoa, this feels so awesome. Then I got addicted to that. You got addicted to that? Yeah.

Would your mom walk in? My mom walked in a few times. I used to come on the magazine. I used to have just one magazine. I would just come on the pages. And I would just leave it under the sink

because I was such in my own head. I didn't think anyone was going to be in my world because I was living in this imaginative world. Like, oh, the world revolves around me. No one's going to look at mine. Everyone else is a background character. And like, they caught my... I used to have this cum drawer.

Let me know if this is too much. I could stop it. I used to have a cum drawer. I would come if this is too much. I love this. I used to have a cum drawer. You just would come inside the drawer. I would come on all these socks and just put it in one drawer. And I literally never washed them. And when my parents sold the house when I was 19, they found it. They found it. It was like Indiana Jones finding the...

Why the fuck were you collecting your cum? You were a cum hoarder. You were a cum hoarder. You weren't addicted to sex. You were addicted to collecting your cum? You were a cum hoarder. You were addicted to sex. You were addicted to collecting your cum. You wanted your body fluids to be outside. Seven years of cum. Prehistoric cum.

Why would you not just... This is insane to me. You could just wash the socks and throw away the fucking magazines, but you're like, I need receipts. the socks and throw away the fucking magazines but you're like, I need receipts.

You can't write it off on your taxes. That's so weird. Look how much work I did this year. I didn't get paid for any of this. Look at my art. I think it was just because my mom was so nosy

that if I would have put the stuff in the laundry, she would have looked at it and thought, come on. They're very bonded. She would have found it. Did she find the come to order? She's the one and she was horrified. I also would like...

She found it like... There was like seven years of worth in there when she found it I would never talk to you I would never talk to you again she also found like all these condoms under

like used condoms under my bed oh my god I think about it I am so embarrassed like she doesn't look me in the eye now

no I wouldn't either what if your parents just gave you your inheritance right there like we're good? She's like, did I birth a 40-year-old

porn addict? Exactly. Why? Because I worked at like a, I grew up in the Valley. So like, my jobs at high school, I worked at like a porn house.

Like, I was a security guard at a porn house when I was like 16, 17. What? Did your parents know? No, but they went to the house once

for like a dinner. I took them to dinner I was kind of proud, like, oh, I'm in this mansion And they knew something was up And every time, like, let's have dinner on this side of the house Like, no, we're not going to have dinner in the kitchen Because there's like a Bukkake scene You brought them to your courthouse? We got to do it later

that you'd make it your job Yeah probably So you just have to Just do all comedy Yeah Yeah And like I beat myself up

When I'm not doing comedy Yeah Like if I've ever Like I would I would go on a hike With somebody in LA Yeah And I would have anxiety

About like What like Am I wasting my time Should I be writing right now Yeah Isn't that insane That's crazy You can write while you're hiking

I know That's the funny thing Is like Maybe this is a little unhealthy Like when I do other shit That's not comedy related My motivation is that This could turn into material

Right Yeah This is my life too Yeah My girlfriend was convinced That I made the whole My ex-girlfriend I made a whole

My first love record last year, La Optimist. And we broke up and she was convinced that the only reason why I was with her is to make a love album. You're just a character in my little movie that I've made about myself. You go, bitch, you just got Taylor Swift.

You are now Jake Gyllenhaal Listen Why are we like this? Why is our whole life absorbed through our art? This is what drives me crazy I feel like I'm damaged because all I care about Is just being on the stage and making art Because there's no greater feeling So you're like

Yeah you're cute and fun But whoever you're like, yeah, you're cute and fun, but you'll, like whoever you're with, you're like, that feeling will fade. But like, creating something and then like getting a,

getting a response from it, there's, that's a, that's a high that you'll, you'll never get. That's a one night stand over and over and over and over again.

That's better than any sex I've ever had. Yes. Any relationship I've ever had. Facts. Yeah. What was the biggest high you've gotten from a crowd response?

When I just remember, I mean, God, so much, but I remember I did the Tonight show and I just remember afterwards Jimmy I did my set he was really nice he was complimenting and then afterwards

this isn't a crowd I was on such a high and I went back to my room and we were packing up to leave and then I just hear a knock on the door and I look up and Jimmy was like standing in the door and like this has been like 30 minutes after the show and he just goes he repeated one of my tags to

my jokes and he was like that was so good he's like you have these like very quick like throw away liners that are like really funny and I was like oh you remember that you do like a subliminal thing almost I noticed that you like subliminally add yeah but it was like he had remembered the joke and had been thinking about it for Oh, you remember that? You do like a subliminal thing almost. I noticed that. You like subliminally add. Yeah. But it was like he had remembered the joke and had been thinking about it for 30 minutes and like came back in it.

That was like a. You made it. That was just a weird, weird moment where I was like, because you never like think you always you're like, I do still think this. I said it, but like, I don't think I'm great. I think I've fallen through the cracks and I'm just like, I'm here until y'all figure out I shouldn't be here. And it's like

those little moments is when I feel like the universe is being like, bitch, you got it. It's like a full circle thing. You've always felt like you never deserved to be there. And then fucking Jimmy Fallon is like, let's go.

I'm going to clap for that. Let's go. Let's go. He was drunk for sure. Yeah, yeah. He didn't remember my name. He did? He did.

He was so nice. Yeah. That's fucking amazing. So now you're in your prime. You're going to get this shit. I also want to, before we leave, I know it's been an hour, but

you got to tell me about this salmon coming on you. Oh, true story. I have the picture. I'll send you the picture. Hold on, say that again? Salmon coming on you? Salmon came on her. How did you know? Did you see my set? We were actually

in Juneau, Alaska. My brother lives in Juneau Alaska my brother lives in Juneau Alaska and do you know salmon turn you know about this they literally turn oh yes they come up

to spawn and after they spawn they die they just they literally like they just give up they stop eating and they decay

and they're called turning because they're no longer silver they're like a gray color and I so we were like, there was a bunch of salmon there, but they had come up to spawn.

And I caught one. And I think he was just under so much stress, like freaking out. And he had like come, swam all the way upstream, like carrying all his sperm to deliver. Do his job. And it was just too much stress.

He was like, fuck! And he released it on me. and he came all over me. What does salmon cum look like? It is human jizz. I'll show you a picture. How much is there? Bring it. The amazing thing is you trying to make this into

a bit is the best. Oh, my phone's dead. Okay. You'll send it to me. Were you freaked out? Was it quivering? I was like, we got to kill him right now. We killed him immediately after that

and tried to eat him after it. I absolutely manhandled the shit out of him. My brother was like, he felt so bad for the fish manhandled the shit out of him. I, yeah, but my brother was like, like, he felt so bad for the fish because he was like, you know,

like, how many fish actually make it all the way back? And he did. And like, he almost made it to the very end.

Yeah. And then like, at the last minute, this psychopath pulls him out of his home and shakes him to the point of losing all his sperm.

And I love the line when I go, I did it again. I found a man and I squeezed the purpose out of his home and shakes him to the point of losing all his sperm. I love the line when I go, I did it again. I found a man and I squeezed the purpose out of him. It's just the saddest life. He was probably so proud of himself. But maybe that's the ultimate dream to someone dying after they cum.

You know what? I would love to like cum and then die. Pretty man is gonna do that. And then die. So just like an alien's holding you and you're like, I'm so fucking nervous.

I'm gonna cum. And then they're like, they hit you over the head and killed you. Would you fuck an alien? Anything for material. Let's go. We'll end with that.

We're going straight to a Target. If you're constipated, do some Target laps. I'm trying to satiate yourself. Yeah, yeah. If your bookstores are like that too, I've noticed. Yes. They have that too. Yes.

It must be the coffee beans. I don't know. I don't know what it is. This retail keeps it moving. It's like magnesium. I think they want, yeah, I think they don't want you to linger that long. It's got to be something with the lighting, too. I don't know, but I think this is the sole reason Target has been in business,

is their underwear sales. Well, thank God. I got one last question for you, and then I'll let you go. Get back to your party. Blow my nose. Blow your nose. We got you some... Oh, thank you.

Yeah, I have. I rescued my puppy and I know there's a lot of bad stuff going on in the world, but I'm obsessed with saving dogs and we don't need to breed any more dogs. My dog is from a breeder, but we got him away from a breeder and adopted him from a breeder. Oh, yeah, yeah. You saved him. Yeah, I saved him from a breeder.

He was being bred, though. He's a poodle. You're the first to die. No, no, no. I got him away from the breeder. And now you're breeding him? No, we got him neutered immediately. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. You can live. For now. Oh, never mind.
