Starting point is 00:01:00 Are you, that's black coffee. That's perfect. You drink black coffee? Yes, I'll, I do drink. Americanos every once in a while. What is your preferred cup of coffee? Flat white. Flat white, of course.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Yeah, a little frat white. It's just basically a coffee with... Todd Barry. It's going to have... Heavy milk and it's... It's going to have... Yeah, that was quick. It's going to have like heavy milk.
Starting point is 00:01:23 It's just like a frothy coffee. Maybe you can... Am I explaining it right? It's like a latte, but I think it's less frothy. Okay, less frothy maybe. See, there's like a... Like this, like, it's not foam really. but like it's like this creaminess to it almost.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Yeah, flat whites are the best. They probably foam the milk. Yeah, that might be it. Yeah. Because we said, I said, I need to actually look this out. I didn't know what kind of coffee you wanted. So I just said black. And I'm like, oh, he's from the South.
Starting point is 00:01:49 He'll like black coffee. And she's like, no, South likes like sweet and milky. Yeah. She was right. And I'm going to tell you. And I said, welcome to New York. Lightly see. No, I like, I like black coffee all right.
Starting point is 00:02:01 But you're not going to believe this. Like, if I'm, like, I used to like, I used to, of pink drinks before like 12-year-olds got into them. Like I like the dragonfly. Remember Java Moka Chip from Starbucks? Oh, that's what I'm talking about. Coconut. Pace the drink doesn't faint from wheat.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Coconut juice is the banger. Yeah. The pink stuff, that's great. It is delicious. I notice that when I get drinks, the more writing on it, the more I'm like, this is healthy. It's like, it's like Bronner's. You know, you're in a Bronner soap. I'm like, this is the best.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Do you red Bronners? There's all the information now of you. It's all religious. Is it like the Bible of soap? I was just on the ride here and I felt like a heathen. I'm driving here. The Uber driver, black guy, white, like button up suit jacket. And the radio kept being like, and we pray for him and the Lord is our sin.
Starting point is 00:02:55 And it would say the same prayer over and over a hundred times and then it would cut to static. So it would be like, shh. And he died for our sins and Lord pray. And it was like one prayer. And I started getting like a. panic attack. Yeah, I would too. And I just kept being like, ugh. So this guy was like being like, this is a heathen devil in the back because I'm hearing this and being like, yeah. No, that's a nightmare situation. Did you ask him to turn it down? I went, oh my God,
Starting point is 00:03:20 I went like that. See, I would say, hey. I couldn't. I couldn't. I thought that I'd get smited. I've got your livelihood in my hand with these stars. Yeah. And anything that's repetitive like that is psychotic. Well, when it went to static multiple times, I was like, come on. That's what I said. I went, come on, man. That's creepy. Because it was so crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:38 And he just, like, looked and then, like, kept it on. True psychopath. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? It is. And what's even crazier is, like, if you gave him, like, three stars for being a weirdo, they don't even let you write in the comment section. They're just, they want you to pick a category of what type of weirdo.
Starting point is 00:03:54 And you want to be specific. You want to go, you're not going to believe this. But he was, you know, he had Billy Graham on repeat. Yeah. And there was static. And it's like... Dude, you know what? I'll confess I do be doing four stars if something's wrong.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Really? I do it. I just do five in hopes that they five me. Yeah. Well, in New York City, it's brutal. They'll beat you up before you would ever get to the... Because I'm like you. I'm just going to give you...
Starting point is 00:04:16 But I hope three stars doesn't sound like a monster. It feels like he was going to kill you but changed his mind. Right, right, right, right. But no, I agree. But New York City, they'll beat you up on the other way. Really? You make them wait for any time at all. I mean, they, I mean, like, I mean, a minute.
Starting point is 00:04:31 They'll, they'll four-star you. Where do you see it? Where do you see? Because I'm watching this thing drop. I'm polite in my right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's the only thing that I can assume. What's my rating? To the airport and I take cabs back.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And then in the city, I take cabs. I do cabs. I'm not Alexa. Oh, sorry. I'm a 4.89. Are you? How do I see? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:53 No, we're talking about Uber. Not cock. 4.6 is bad. Brother. 4.6 is hanging on. On Lyft, I'm a five because I got banned from Lyft for a minute because I got reported for inappropriate sexual activity in the car
Starting point is 00:05:12 because she reported I was looking at pornography. And what it was, I didn't have my headphones in. And I follow, I'm like very flagrant in my follow. It's like, if something funny is on my Explorer page, I'll be like, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. And there's, dude, there's this like construction worker. that his whole thing is he flips his in in his mouth, and when he puts it in, he goes, uh-oh, ah. And he started the video by being like, and she thought it was porn,
Starting point is 00:05:41 and it was just some construction worker flipping his in in his mouth. That's crazy, especially for me, I feel like Lyft is like the, like progressive, like have fun in a lift. Yeah. Uber feels more buttoned up. Yeah. To me, maybe it's just the colors. Maybe it's, there's,
Starting point is 00:05:56 lift pulls up with a pink. And I go, we're going to have a good time. I think of pink is a little bit hood wrap. What are you? 4.89, you said? 4.89. What are you? 4.6.
Starting point is 00:06:06 4.7. I think I get dinged because I... I get dinged because I'm a dog. Smoke walking to the car. Okay, I got a question. Can you get dinged for... I do this a lot. Cancel?
Starting point is 00:06:18 Like, I race them. Okay, constantly. Almost every time. Yes. Yes. I race lifted Uber. And then you cancel. Whoever gets second, we're out.
Starting point is 00:06:25 And then first, I run out. If you cancel, can they... You ever do that with plane tickets? Thank you. I kind of have. But no, I like to race some. Not every time, but sometimes it's like three minutes. Sometimes it's one minute.
Starting point is 00:06:39 And then, you know, the one minute guy is smoking a cigarette. Three minute guys, you know. Right, right. Will you make a fart noise at her, James? Good job. She hates it and it makes her stop whining. The trauma of her shutting down when she hears a fart noise, I can only imagine what she's had to do.
Starting point is 00:06:59 indoors. It's a lot of farts. That is nuts. Can you imagine the day that y'all learned that together? I made a fart noise. Decent amount of protein. Yeah. Now, is she smart enough to understand the difference between a fart and a quiff?
Starting point is 00:07:13 Like if she queues, she comes running. Any fart noise she's like, no. No, no, no, no. I don't think she can tell the difference. She's being good. Well, I mean, there's only one way to tell. Right. I use it for sex.
Starting point is 00:07:26 When I'm having sex, I'll make the fart noise and she'll go into her to crate. Oh, that's so I've backed it. I've used it. Because the one time I did it and she hit under the bed and I was like, okay. Noted. Yeah. Samson has hit under the bed and I'm like, you poor guy. During sex, don't you feel so bad? And they just think that their owners being killed, being brutally murdered?
Starting point is 00:07:45 Well, you, they think I'm murdering. Oh, yeah. She thinks that means. Because you're taking him. I don't believe you. I've heard about you throwing it back. Oh, yeah. I have.
Starting point is 00:07:55 That was one girl. No, I didn't whimper. I moaned. I'm just an odd guy doing odd jobs. I'll race you. I'm Ian Fidance. Hey, how are you? And each week, I'm in different towns across the country doing stand-up comedy.
Starting point is 00:08:09 And to keep me from rotting in my bed or putting a gun to my head, I get you to teach me how to do your job. Ian do, an odd guy doing odd jobs. YouTube.com slash Ian Fidance Comedy every other Tuesday, produced by YMH. I got a rip a fart too, bro. Let it loose, Toot, Toot. How long you've been working here? Ew.
Starting point is 00:08:42 One, you let a trans woman fuck your ass one time and no one lets you live it down. You know, you're from the south. You guys don't talk about it. Common though, right? What part of the south are you from? Huntsville. Alabama, on there Sunday. Can you share a post?
Starting point is 00:09:01 Tickets aren't good. Well, it's unfortunate. It's a giant room. I know. And North Alabama, seats like 360 for some of the summer. Stand up live Levity Yeah, Levity
Starting point is 00:09:12 Now it was stand up Now it's Levity But yeah I grew up like 10, 15 minutes outside of Huntsville Harvest Alabama Yeah Remember the mill? Was the mill here?
Starting point is 00:09:24 The mill was in Hudson? Yeah, the mill's great Is it still going? Yeah, that's like where all the art and stuff is Is that what you're talking about? All of the art but they had comedy shows there Yeah, yeah, yeah. Scott Eason, a good buddy in mind.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Yeah, yeah, he runs epic comedy there And it was like once a month. He still does that? I think so. One of my favorite rooms of all time with glittery. Remember the green room? Yeah, I do. It was beautiful.
Starting point is 00:09:50 It was a Narnia. Yeah. It was so awesome. Yeah, and Scott's great. I remember just dreaming being like, if I could just get on that show, I'll be somebody. Same, same. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:10:01 It was a giant room. I always forget your time in Nashville. I always forget that you were there for a little bit because I'm like, how do you know about this room? I'm Dusty Slay's daughter, basically. So it was like Bargotsie, and then Dusty Slay was Bargotsie's daughter, and I'm Dusty's daughter. That's so great. Yeah, I love Dusty. Yeah, and then I left, Laura Peake came in.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Yep. And then, yeah. And then Amber Autry is great. Is she Nashville? Or Nashville. And Zach Townsonson's from Nashville. He's so fucking funny. Zach's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:10:30 He's so funny. I'm moving to Nashville in May. Get out of here. Oh, shit. I am, Ian. Why? You just moved here. Uh.
Starting point is 00:10:38 But not yet. Me and my wife, we just had a baby. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, six months ago. Boy or girl? Seth, we got a little boy. Nice. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:48 I mean, he is a whole ham, and he's just the best. And I just, you know, we're going to get a house and try to do the family thing and have a little bit of a yard. That's amazing. Wait, why did you come here? Just to prove to myself, I just like a chip on my shoulder. And your wife came here? Yeah, begrudgingly. It was like a real big favor.
Starting point is 00:11:06 She didn't want to come here. From Alabama? From Denver. I lived in Denver for 10 years before I moved here. How did you live in Denver? I loved it. Denver's great. What part of Denver?
Starting point is 00:11:14 I lived downtown. I went skiing in Keystone and it was amazing. Yeah, I don't even ski or hike and I love Denver. I lived in the Rhino neighborhood. I mean, I was there like in the very beginning when it was like, I mean, the neighborhood was really changing. Now it's the art district. I lived down there for 10 years.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Absolutely loved it. Doing comedy for it, doing comedy works. Doing all of that. Comedy Works was my home club. It's the club that I came up in. I mean, it was interesting. I mean, I'm not going to sit here and say that, like, I totally was accepted.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Like, the Denver comedy scene didn't know what to do with me. I got along with them really well, and I love all those guys, but they didn't, because I kind of kept my same brand the whole time. Right. And, like, I never did any jokes for the back of the room. I was always up there doing my southern stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:59 What do you mean? Like weed and it's like. Yeah, yeah, it's like very hipster. It's broly. It's like Brooklyn comedy when we started. Oh, wow. Yes, very much. That's a perfect way to describe it.
Starting point is 00:12:10 It's interesting when you don't, like, bend to that in the long run, you win. I bent. I was like, I was like, this fucking bitch over here. Remember last week when Chloe stuck, too? I was like my entire set was bending the knee to the Brooklyn County. I mean, I would sometimes. And I just learned, you know, I mean, Denver taught me some great stuff, great place to come up in comedy because, first of all, made me a smart writer.
Starting point is 00:12:33 If you listen to my comedy, there's no victims. I'm like a smart writer. and I'm not out there just swinging in the dark. And as a Southern comedian, I'm proud of that. Because Denver's not going to let you get up there and not have some decently compassionate comedy. You're not going to just, you know, beat up on homeless people. Of course. And have that.
Starting point is 00:12:49 In some cities, like the word bitch, not going to have that as a punchline in Denver, Colorado. Of course. They're just not going to. But, you know, New York City. I mean, yes. I mean, now, if you're at a certain level, of course, they're going to respect. But, like, coming up, you're in an open mic and you're going, I'm talking to this bitch. And she's not listening.
Starting point is 00:13:06 That's not going to fly. And I had to work a little harder with my accent because they were already just waiting for me. He's going to show us true colors. Just wait. He'll eventually. But it's a really supportive scene. It's just I never felt like one of their people, you know.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Like me and Sam Talent, we're close and he's my boy. But we were, you know, it's not the same parade. Right. And he is the son of Denver, but it just never really mesh that way. And I love, like New York City. But he's exactly Denver. I mean, he's like an optical illusion, man. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Yeah, yeah. You're 100% right. Wait, and T.J. Miller? T.J. Miller, that's where he's from. But those two are like full, like, rabbit popping out of the ear with that, but, which is very Denver today. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Would, like, prefer to do comedy in an alleyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Guys that I love, I mean, T.J. Miller, I love his brain. Yeah. And so, yeah, you're right. I mean, I got L.L. Bean pull over on some gel in my hair, and I'm up there with this accent. They taught me how to fight my way out of a room. I feel more at home. I've been here for 15 months.
Starting point is 00:14:08 I feel more at home on stage in New York City than anywhere. Well, dude, I'll tell you, it's so funny because we were just talking about this comic Chris Fleming. Yeah. Who's so funny. His HBO special is unreal. But we were talking about seeing certain people and being like, man, I like that. I want to be their friend and like someone having that vibe. And that's how I very much feel towards you.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Because I always stay in the room when you're on stage. and I always want to like approach you and be like, I think you're cool. Like I just like everything you do and I think you're so interesting and just like I have to sit in the room and watch you and just be like, fuck, I gotta get better. Yeah, it is funny.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Whenever somebody gets past the cellar, there's always this cloud of like, fuck that guy. But with you, it was just like, let's go. It was very positive. Well, thank you. I hate going up after you, but you're so. I feel the same way about you. So I mean, I'm so.
Starting point is 00:15:04 I mean, I suck to go up after it because I'm like, the inside of my vagina is bleeding out a hole. I suck in cock. I'm a terrible. It's so brutal. No, no. It is. No, the seller, the reception's been great. I feel really lucky.
Starting point is 00:15:19 It's so refreshing to have all the like people being like, I hate my life. And then I'm on the, I'm dating and I'm having sex. And my job sucks. I have no money, homeless people. And then you go in and it's such a different flavor. Yeah. It's so refreshing. I had a waitress just a couple of weeks.
Starting point is 00:15:34 ago I did a bit and I mean I guess it's a compliment but she goes I've been here for a decade she goes that was the most wholesome bit yeah heard on stage that's great and I was like oh well I it was just about trail mix and I yeah that's it which is the trail mix yeah that's great well this one this one's about yeah yeah I have I have a couple yeah I lived in Denver for 10 years yeah I mean I told you I pandered a little bit true trail mix they go they go crazy yeah so funny to pander to trail mix yeah yeah I I mean, I would pander in the other way. Like, I would talk about hiking in a way that I hated it.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Right, right. And try to connect it that way. But anyways, this one's about being on the plane and the guy, I saw him like, he was reaching in the bag, bouncing it around, reaching out, getting what he wanted, reaching and getting what he wanted. And I'd like, yeah, you get what you get. Yeah, you get what you get. It's a trail of mix.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Yeah. The trail mix is like life. You hope for the best, but it doesn't always work out. Yeah. You know, and I do kind of an act out. It's just like the most wholesome little, it's not like a closer or anything, but it's just a cute little trail mix. But it was funny hearing.
Starting point is 00:16:34 in a seller waitress be like, that was really... That's the top. It's the best thing. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the other day I made the guy in McDougal who like, you know how like at brunch sometimes they run the board? That guy? Like, who are you?
Starting point is 00:16:45 I made that guy laugh and I shit my pants. I mean, I would too. It's the best. I mean, that's how I feel if there's a room full of white people and one table has three black folks, this show is for this table. Totally. Because if I can get them to laugh at me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:58 I mean, because I, you know, my accent, I'm pretty self-conscious about it sometimes because of the way people will receive it. Like, I mean, I tell a story where I was in Kansas City, I got up. There was this older black lady in the front row. As soon as I started talking, she got up and started walking away. And the only thing I go, hey, I know you guys fought long and hard against this accent, but give me a second. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:19 And she still walked out, but she came back about 15 minutes later and stayed for the rest of the show. Her epigenetics, she just had to like calm down. Because I get up there and, you know, I thought you were going to say she had hit her epi pen. No, no. No, it's like, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I was like, oh, shit. No, the epigenetics, the dormant, the dormant, you know, trauma.
Starting point is 00:17:36 That's something also, too, that, like, we've seen is where, you know, people will hear or see you. It's always been this way, but I feel like it's more insidious where, like, someone, like, you said, like, wait until he shows his true colors. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And, like, I'll feel like, because I like toying with that, you know, because I'm, I'm, like, queer and bisexual and I don't seem it at all. So I like making people like me and then coming out with that and seeing the reaction of them, like, changing. Uh-huh, for sure. And I can imagine only how hard it is to, like, wear this almost stereotype through your voice that you have to, like, like, did you ever feel pressure? You're a Republican, right?
Starting point is 00:18:14 I'm not, I'm, I'm, I'm, I would call myself moderate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you don't live in, and Denver for 10 years. Yeah, I live downtown. Yeah. And be, like, hard right, you know. I mean, I moved there because I'm, I'm, for sure, I'm a marijuana guy. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:18:30 Yeah, I don't drink and I don't smoke, but I love edibles. I mean, I take them, I mean, I talk about it on stage. I take them every night. I take them all the time. You take them during the day? Yeah. You and Sam Talent? Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:18:42 That's so wild. I don't see it. I see you as just like the only thing you during the day is do like hitting drills in a batting case. Yeah. With like a travel team of teens. I love that because that's the leverage. I play off that on stage all the time constantly because I mean, even when I bring up edibles, I go, I know I look like I keep voting again.
Starting point is 00:19:02 against it, but I'm, you know, I'm here for it. But yeah, yeah. And that's the thing that I, the voice thing I do struggle with sometimes, especially when I get on stage, because I really lean into the accent, because that's kind of, I kind of put that, that's my original accent that I've put in a time capsule and I keep it on stage. I still have it off stage, but sometimes you'll hear me on. And I'll go, hey, what's going on? Everybody, how you all doing?
Starting point is 00:19:25 And you're like, my God, Strupe sounds like, you know. My does not sound like that. My Delaware accent comes out. That's what it is. I know you think you're playing it. up. This is like with me where I'll be like I got rid of my upstate New York accent. People are like, no, you have it hard. You know what? I do that all the time.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Whenever I'm somewhere and I go, okay, I get a coffee with a shot of espresso. They're like, you're from New York. And I'm like, how do you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My Delaware comes out a lot when I'm on stage. Yeah, like just now when you said, how do you know? I think it's because when you get to a level of comfort, that like, comfort comes out in a way where you can almost be like your real self, kind of.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Yeah. And I think that shines out sometimes. No, I think you're right. You're not covering up anything. There's nothing less, you never walk on stage. I'm like, always really hamming up the southern. I don't know why I feel that way then. I tell people that all the time, they go, no, you sound very southern right now.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's crazy, unless you're handing it up for the pot. I'm not. This is how I'm talking. Can you do normal? Yeah. Hold on. Do normal.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Hell yeah. Say my favorite sport is baseball, and I'm excited for opening day. My favorite sport is baseball. Still there. Way back. So bad, dude. My favorite sport is baseball, and I'm excited. I can't, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Wow. That sounded like a commentator a little bit. Oh, I can do that. Get it. And here we are at the ballpark. There you go. 76 degrees, and we're going to have a light breeze here. First up is Daniel Simons.
Starting point is 00:20:49 He's like, I don't want to do this. Trying to say any name I can think of them. Can you hit me with the ball? I'll catch the ball in my chest. Please. And this stick. me from the mortal coil. You throw the ball of the fat.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah, that's his accent's unreal. But yeah, so I mean, I've got some impressions and voices I do. But yeah, yeah, I guess. Is your wife Southern? Yes. Kansas. So no. What?
Starting point is 00:21:17 No, no. And Cans, I'm going to defend y'all. They like people to know this. Like when it came down to like the slave situation, Kansas was the free state. If you got to Kansas, you were good. They had nothing to do. They did not want anything to do with slavery or any of that.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Kansas City, Missouri? I don't know about Missouri. I'm talking about Kansas, the state. Very much, yeah, because I've done some bits online, and they've really, they're like, no, Kansas is not the southern, it's not southern at all. They really stand there. Yeah, same with Indiana.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Yeah. Dude, Delaware, where I'm from, Southern Delaware has, like, the Mason-Dixon line go through it a little bit, which is so interesting. That is, northern Delaware is, like, you know, very wonderful. So weird. And then Southern, they call it. slower lower because it's so
Starting point is 00:22:03 boring and everything but they like hang on to this thing down there even though Delaware was a free state. Yeah. Where's the comedy attic? Indiana. When I did that one I was like Bloomington. They were literally like we are not from the south and I was like
Starting point is 00:22:19 you're on a horse right now, you are so southern. You know I tell a joke on stage where I go the Midwest and the south are identical and I go I can they're almost exactly the same. I go there's only one difference and it's a Big war. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:34 And that's the, that's really, yeah. I mean, if you, besides the accents and that war, they're the same people almost. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of football, Jesus and casserole.
Starting point is 00:22:44 A lot of men or women resting their hands on their belly and being like, we're proud of you. That is dead on. Yeah. Wow. Okay, so you're going to move to Nashville. Get a house. God.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Are you friends with Bargazzi and Dusty and them? Yeah, I was just with Nate this past weekend. He's, I mean, take my career to another level. He's showing me so much love. Yeah, yeah, I open up for him. Yeah, like, I would say like once every six weeks or something.
Starting point is 00:23:09 It's the best. Yeah, I was talking to Greg Warren, and that is just like such a amazing thing. Shot in the arm. Yeah, I was just going to say, we're trailing these markets, and it's just insane. Dude, that's incredible.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Literally, like, they will get introed and outroed with when they will be in that town with a date, and it will just sell out. Oh, wow, wow, wow. Oh, yeah. I mean, you know, When I was with Nate in Salt Lake City, we did four shows. He sold out four shows at the Delta Center, and the thing holds 20,000 people.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Jesus Christ. That doesn't even make any sense. I know. It's like, I feel like if Nate wasn't clean, they would already know. But this guy's the Rolling Stones. It's bonkers. The way he's selling tickets out here. That's all of America going to that one show.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Before I go on stage, I'm like, if I can just get everybody in the bathroom to come to my show, I go, it'll sell out. I go, if I can get everybody that's buying a hot dog right now, the weekend's done. Yeah, yeah. 20,000 people? 20,000. I mean, when I was in Salt Lake City, I sold out nine shows. And I had people text to me, they're like, your career's on fire.
Starting point is 00:24:10 And I'm like, kind of. Yeah. I also had a blimp fly over the city. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's, that type of advertising is insane. Yeah, that's wild. It's crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:21 And next is more than happy to do it. I mean, that was just an analogy for how many people had eyes on. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Real Southern with the analogy. Yeah, a lot of them coming out, shot in the arm. arm blimp over the city? I'm like, where's a blitz?
Starting point is 00:24:34 Who shot you in the arm? It's all right. You're just hanging like a sweet tea and a porch, man. We're just trying to hang out, hang up. And hey, yeah. Peter Ravella would say a lot of riddles. So many riddles. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Now, when is Nate going to have comics that are filthy, dirty opening for him that have glasses and beers? You know, it would be fun to see a Nate after Dark tour. But, you know, Nate lives in that. I mean, when you see Nate's friends from his whole career, I mean, he's definitely got some, I mean, a lot of his friends. friends are dirty, just couldn't open for him. I mean, his boy, Dan Soters, his boy.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Sotor, Janus, Yonis, Big J. Lewis, Big J. They are homeless from way back. Louis Gomez. And you're clean top to bottom on your hour? Yes, I am. Or just when you open for him? No, when I, when, when I'm out on the road, I'm working clean. Are you God? Is God? Do you have God? No. No, no, no. I mean, I believe in God, but I don't have God in my set.
Starting point is 00:25:24 It's a little bit, I mean, you would, you would get this part. It's a, it's a little bit like Dusty where I'm talking about some of the drugs. I'll say hell and something like that. I'm letting you know I'm cool, but I'm not dropping the F-bomb. I'm not calling a lady a bitch. But he has like a jerk-off, a subtle jerk-off. But what if she's being a bitch? Yeah, well, then we'll have to turn off the mic and we'll have to address that.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Do you swear at all? Yeah, I mean, off-stage I do for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But on stage, no. I don't. It was a business decision. I felt like it would be best for my career. I mean, I used to be the same random.
Starting point is 00:25:58 anti guy would just slinging cuss words. I mean, just, you know, it was closer to like a Sam Kinnison situation because sometimes, you know, I would just get in front of people and just cuss them out. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm a much better writer. Yeah. Now because it's harder.
Starting point is 00:26:13 It's so much harder. I mean, it's not like I think I'm better. I'm just saying like I can't, I'm emotional comedian. And when you're, when you're dirty and you're emotional, you can kind of ride that lightning. Oh, yeah. You know? Oh, I ride that lightning different. I'm like a metallic record.
Starting point is 00:26:27 I ride the line. I ride one clean joke and I get so amped. I appreciate that. I mean, really. You're so, I mean, it's not just your energy. You remind me of like a guy I came up watching Ben Roy, who's not only being insane, but you're making a really good point,
Starting point is 00:26:43 which I love those as a combo. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's what, because Ben Roy will be standing on top of a chair with his fingers in somebody's mouth. And what I love is I'm going, I'm going, the joke is smart. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:55 The joke is smart. Yeah. You know, and you do that type of thing. I appreciate that, man. Yeah, yeah. And, I mean, both of y'all are just killing. I mean, Jordan's constantly trying to cut herself down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I mean, you're a star. I mean, y'all aren't going to just sit here and gas me up. I'm going to give it back to you. Where do you see her new headshots? Well, let me tell you. Nobody talks about the opposite sex as smart as Jordan Jensen. Thank you. You hear how many guys try to talk about women and it's a nightmare?
Starting point is 00:27:19 Yeah. You're talking about men, your whole set and you're not missing. Yeah. And it's, I mean, sometimes I'm in the back of the room and I'm like, my God, she's, she's, I mean, And it's, so anyways, I want to give you all y'all's flowers. Thanks. And not let you just sit here and, you know, gas me up. Thank you.

No, but I am, I'm way more buttoned up on stage and I've got a foul mouth, unfortunately, off stage. Good.

I cussed out an Amtrak agent on the phone the other day, and I felt so bad, but it felt so good to release that pressure valve. He was so rude. Yeah. There was like an issue with the ticket. We flipped out on an Amtrak guy once together.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Oh, yeah. That was right. The Amtrak was like, give us your tickets. And we like, we didn't know that we both had the same public fighting thing that we both have. Yeah. And so he's like, give me your tickets. And then he's like, please give me your tickets. And we're like fishing, right?
Starting point is 00:28:59 And then he's like, give me your tickets. And me and he and he and at the same time. We're just like, yo, what the fuck, dude? Like he slowed that. And we just became like two Pomeranians. He like, ah, that. And the guy was like, Jesus. Well, the guy on the phone, he answered.
Starting point is 00:29:11 And he goes, hello. I was like, hi. He was like, yeah, Amtrak reservations. And he didn't, he wasn't like, my name's Mark. Who am I speaking with, blah, blah. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, hey, the app told me. the train was running late.
Starting point is 00:29:27 And so when I got here, it actually left on time, but the app told me it was late. And so I missed a train. I can't cancel get my money back. He goes, well, it's your fault.

Starting point is 00:29:46 He goes, sir, I can't tell you enough. It's not a responsibility for when you get to the airport. That's insane. And, or to the train station. I was like,
Starting point is 00:29:55 oh, fuck you, man. And he goes, if you're going to keep cussing, I'm going to hang up. And I go, well, get ready to hang up, pussy. And he hung up.

I'll be nice.
Starting point is 00:34:48 I am nice. And when you're rude, I take. exception and then and then I can't help but maybe have a conversation. The problem with me is after it goes, I am confrontational, not like in a totally psychotic way, but I like to be heard. You know, my wife knows that. Like if I can just sit down. What do you mean? By yelling or like your opinion? No, no, just conversation. Just here, even if you don't agree and we're not going to do anything about it and I don't even care. I just want you to know how I felt about this. And if I can say it out loud, I'll be over it immediately. And I just got to share because if I keep
Starting point is 00:35:21 any thought, like any thought that I keep in my chest, I mean, anyone, I got to, I have to give it away. Who, Nikki Minaj, Cardi B, which thought are we talking about? Yeah. This guy's quick on the street. Anyway, sorry. Even with slides on. Yeah. So, so, yeah, I'm a little.
Starting point is 00:35:37 So what happened with the TSA? Well, there's this new law where if you're traveling with formula, it's called the Baby's Act or the Babe Act, and it's about how they're not allowed to, like, harass you and pull it all out and, like, scan you like you have bombs. It's supposed to be an expedited. courteous process. Well, it didn't go that way. And it started off,
Starting point is 00:35:54 they have like the little metal scanner thing where you can just walk through. Well, I'm standing there with Alyssa and Seth, and the guy, he's like, okay, you guys can come through and Alyssa and Seth goes through and he goes, you're going to get in the other line. And I go, I go, why can't we just walk through
Starting point is 00:36:08 as a family? And he goes, you're going to get in the other line. So I let it go. So I let it go. This is how it really goes. I get in the other line. The line stacks up. Well, now he needs us back in this other line.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Not good for my guy. because now I'm back. And I'm back in it. So now we're back. And I go, I wouldn't even be here if I was still with my family. And he lets me go through. And right when I get up, he's like, hey, man, it's one person with the child at a time. I go, we're a family.
Starting point is 00:36:34 I go, we've always gone through together. Everybody goes through. It doesn't matter. No reason to. And I go now my wife. It's insuriating when one TSA is like, no, no, no. And you're like, every airport I go to, this is fine. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:36:45 And there's no reason to separate. And I'm like, look, now she's holding my child. The bags are piling up. She can't even grab them. So he lets me through. I turn around. I give him one more. Hey, man, that's crazy work.
Starting point is 00:36:55 And then I go over there. Now they see the formula. Now they all want some of me. They go over there. It's a full shake down. Eight bottles out. Now they're scanning my hands. I'm trying to hold the Google thing.
Starting point is 00:37:07 I got it pulled up on Google. The new act they passed in 2025. I mean, I've got a crowd of TSA agents. They got the head person over here. She's going, technically, she goes just like this. This is how she says. She goes, technically. technically it's one person with a baby technically so he was not and I go she's saying technically
Starting point is 00:37:25 because you're a monster and so then the truth cops come over cops go you got to lower your voice they go this is a stressful situation you're elevating it I've got my hands out there wiping them for bonds I go look look look this is over formula I'm gonna blow the I'm gonna blow the plane up with sim lax no I swear you said it yes and he goes hey man this can go two ways. Oh, no. Yeah. He goes, this can go two ways.
Starting point is 00:37:52 We can put all the formula back in the bag. We're going to have to put you in handcuffs. And the guy walks up, and he goes, hey, man, I saw this all happen. Man, I can't wait to see this when it's a bit. And I'm like, you think this is a bit? Y'all are going to believe what else happens. So then we go to our gate. I'm with my family.
Starting point is 00:38:08 How did you get out of there without getting handcuffs saying it's going to be a simulac sucks? I may not have said blow up. I might have said because the simulac is going to take the plane down. I might not have said bomb. But then they threatened. They go, hey, what is Alyssa saying the whole time? She's all about it with this. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:38:23 No, she's riding with her boy. Good, good, good, good. No, no, I love it. She's in the back with hot Cheetos going jumping. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I promise you. I promise you. So we're riding out as a family.
Starting point is 00:38:33 I go, Alyssa, I'll whoop. She goes, I know, I go, I'll whoop their ass. So then we go to the gate. I love love. We're all fired up. I go up to the gate. I'm on one. The guy, he scans my boarding pass, and he goes,
Starting point is 00:38:45 Fort Myers. And I go, no, my man. I go, clearly, Kansas City to Nashville, says it on my boarding pass. And he goes, no, you're at the Fort Myers gate. And I go, I am very sorry about that. And I want you to have a good day. Now Alyssa's out on me. She's going, you can't be a monster, okay, because I was so sad.
Starting point is 00:39:05 You're keyed up. You're keyed up. Yeah. Right now I am. And then I get on the airplane. We sit down. I'm in the wrong seats. So I go get up out of the seats and get in the right seats.
Starting point is 00:39:17 There's not one thing that I didn't screw up in this entire process. I mean, almost got arrested. Wrong gate, wrong seats. Anyway, so that's a Tuesday for me. And people go, where do you get your energy from? I go, what are you talking about? Man, this is, I'm an insane person. Can we get him a Snickers?
Starting point is 00:39:35 He's irrationally angry. He turns back into a beautiful Dominican movie. Oh, my gosh. Wait, okay, that, okay, so they were all up, they were all on you because they were just as angry. with you as you were with them. They were wanting to play. Oh, yeah. I mean, I had my, as y'all can tell, and this is the thing I deal with, let's take the accent out. I have an unfortunate tone. My tone is aggressive. Like,
Starting point is 00:40:01 that's why I don't really do much crowd work. It's not because I, I have a hard time talking to people without them feeling like that this is going to escalate. Really? I feel like you're warm. What are you talking about? I think that, I think if you didn't have the accent, it would be worse. Yeah. So let's be. Be aggressive towards me in the way you think. Like, what do you mean? Like, actually be aggressive? You said you're like your tone.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Like, what do you mean? Like, tone me up. Like, I would be like, I don't know. Hey, big dog, let me buy you. You know? Something like that. Whoa. Yeah, I mean.
Starting point is 00:40:35 Oh, yeah. Let me buy you. I'm like that too. I was waiting for you to finish saying that with like a product. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You were going to buy me. No, no, no. Let me.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Hey, big dog. Let me buy you. We have the same thing. It's any, it's any, it's any, time it's justice. You demand justice. I demand that's exactly. I need justice.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the other day I cut a guy off. Like I opened the taxi door and there was a guy slowly. It was fine coming on a bike. I'm on the bike guy side. And I was like, and I was like, dude, I'm so sorry. I did not look first. He was totally fine.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Came to a slow stop. And then he was like, yeah, fuck you. And I, bro, I got out of the car and I was like, what the fuck did you say to me? I just fucking apologize, you fucking pizza. Like I flipped out. No, I can't. Yeah. Question.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Yeah. Question. Yeah. me buy you. Yeah. That means let me go around you. Yes, of course. But why, why not?
Starting point is 00:41:21 Oh, hey, big dog, let me buy you. Hey, let me buy you, big dog. Because this guy's standing. Looking at his phone. If you say, in my mind, I picture him. Let me buy you big dog. Yeah. That sounds more friendly tone than big dog.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Let me buy you. Yeah. I mean, you're right. And I picture this guy. Yeah. Being in the way and being on his phone, not caring about his surroundings. You know, and I'm all about justice.
Starting point is 00:41:43 You're right. Like if I see, on the flight that landed yesterday, day. This guy, I was in this row right here, exit, exit row. There's two seats in front of us. So the third, the window seat has that gap where you can put your legs. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Well, him and his wife got up and went around the people that are in the row in front of them. Went back door to them. Do you understand? No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I don't know what I mean. Wait, yeah. Okay. Also, is his mic too loud? I've been wondering that the whole time. I've been using lots of compression.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Wondering. Oh, good. In the back of the. my mind I'm listening but I'm like the level that's so funny I I just lie to people I'm like I was raised by an airport you know that's why I talk like this way off we're yeah no so you got yeah you got to exit row okay I'm the aisle always the aisle all right you got the middle seat I got the window now in front of you know Southwest has this a lot but this was a delta flight just clearing that up I'm doing okay so there was just a we're delta dogs two people in front of us just a two person row. So the window seat can have his legs completely forward. Yes, yes. You understand what I'm saying? Yes. So his wife was the middle seat. He was the window. When the plane landed, they just got up and looped in front of the row in
Starting point is 00:43:00 front of them and grabbed their bags and stood. So now this two person row in front of them is sitting here. Now, they're in front of them in their leg area. Do you understand? Like okey do you understand? Instead of coming out in the row behind them, we would come out here in the aisle. Yes. They're in front of us. They went around. I found them and got in front of the thing. Oh, because there was a big enough space. Yes. And so the young lady right there, she got kind of upset. She said something.
Starting point is 00:43:25 And the guy was like, we just wanted to stand up. We weren't trying to cut in front of anybody. If it's that big of a deal to you, then go ahead of us. And I'm a justice person, and it mattered to me. Right. So I'm chiming in. She's just a young lady that, you know, and I go, no, no, no, it mattered to you the most. I go, because you just looped and cut in front of her.
Starting point is 00:43:43 And now you're acting like, she's crazy. Yes. Yes. But what happens, Jordan, when we're these people, is we always look like the trouble makers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Even though if I could stop the plane and explain with some context, they'd all clap us off.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Yeah, but they just see me coming in hot. And now, then he lets him go in front of him. And I just had to let this guy know, like, no, no, no, you're not going to gaslight this girl for cutting in front of her and her standing up for herself. Yeah. Look at you. Gaslighting, you are from Denver. I am.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Taking up for a woman. I was getting on a plane recently and Coyote was on the carpet and she was like rubbing her back on the carpet and everybody was in a circle being like, oh, look at her. She's so cute. And she's hamming it up. She's like making kids, you know, be like, oh, right? And then we get up and we start going on the plane and we get on first because she's technically a service animal. So I can get on, right? And I abuse that.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Disagree. And then this woman's like, this woman's like, she goes, your dog shouldn't be on the plane. There's obviously something wrong with her. and now it's like it's like because I don't have a child I'm a 34 year old with that now you're like I'm a full feral yeah yeah I mean I'm with you I'm full feral I'm full feral I get on the plane and I'm like walk I heard that and I'm like my face is red I'm like because I'm like why would you possibly say that what do you possibly I know why you said that because I got on
Starting point is 00:45:04 the plane first you're annoyed that I'm getting attention because my dog is being so adorable you have to say something because you're an old ugly bitch and then I get on the plane I sit down and she's walking by me and I just put my arm out and I go excuse me, and she's like trying to get by. And I'm like, no, no, I just need to know what you meant by there's something wrong with my dog. Do you think, did you see something? Did you notice something?
Starting point is 00:45:23 Did you think that she's sick or something? She was like, well, she was rubbing her back. And I was like, yeah, she was scratching her back on the ground. And she was like, oh, I didn't know that. And I was like, you did know that. Yeah, yeah. You did know that. I knew that.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Everybody were watching knew that. But you needed attention in that moment. And you got it. So I'm giving you this attention right now. And she was like, please let me by. And I was like, have a good flight. Oh, gosh. It was.
Starting point is 00:45:44 I mean, when you get done, your hands are shaking. I don't even smoke cigarettes, but I could use a couple. I'm like, my gosh. Yes. Woo. Yeah, that's nice. Oh, I love it. I do that.
Starting point is 00:45:54 That's street justice right there. Ian, Ian, you're, you wouldn't do that. You seem like you're too kind to stop a lady that's exiting. Am I wrong? He's the one having justice done against him. What? He's the one doing egregious shit. Bro, when people get out of the aisle in the wrong order, I get so mad.
Starting point is 00:46:11 I get so. Or when a guy, when a woman is trying to get her fucking. thing down and there's a big ass dude not helping her. I'm like, yo, help that bitch. What is wrong with you? There's like, have you seen that? Dude, I've done that and it just leads me to like obsessive anger and I've really tried to step away from that.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Oh, I love the anger and then I act on it. And I try to, but I will find an ally and be like, bullshit. No, I have to talk it out. I got to talk about. With your thing, with that girl, I, if she was trying to get by, I would have been like, it seems that there's something wrong. with you. No, no, I need full.
Starting point is 00:46:47 It's same with an audience member. If an audience member heckles in a whack way, like if they're doing something that's like, I'll literally be like, I need to take a break for a second. What do you think is going on right now? Yeah. Like, what did you, when you woke up today
Starting point is 00:46:59 and you're like, I'm going to go see a comedy show, what was the plan? Yeah. Is it like, I'm going to go and see if I can do a few jokes to see if I want to get in a cop. Because if that's the case, I'd like to know. Yeah. And I'll go 10 minutes just being like, no,
Starting point is 00:47:09 we're going to get to the bottom of this. I love that. But it's rage. Yeah. No, it's rage. I just ended a show at the cellar last week, just like that. I was doing, I was in the middle of doing a joke, and I know my jokes. I really tried, I put in a lot of effort to make sure that my jokes aren't, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:25 catching astray on somebody in the room or aren't, you know, smartly. I really think about that stuff. And I was in the middle of a joke. I've got this new joke that I've been trying to work on about how my wife, she breastfeeds all the time, and her boobs are out. And it's like the closest I've ever been to being around a service dog, because I can remember when I was able to play with them and now they're working all the time.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Yeah. That's the joke. I'm in the middle of that. Incredible premise that I don't have any jokes inside of. I'm just swimming up there trying to find it. But I know nobody's evict. This lady in the middle, excuse my language, viewers that aren't expecting this. She goes, oh, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Very loud. Everybody could hear it. She goes, you're an asshole. Whoa. And I just lost it. It was at the end of my set, but that was over for her after that. I go, I've done that in three rooms.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Everybody loved it. And I go, what are you? me look you're a white woman not shocked at all i bet you call the cops when you hear rap music don't you yeah yeah i go tell him yeah i was pissed and i just ended it i i didn't know which way to go with it so i just ended it with you you know what fuck you and i stuck the mic and i walked off and it was kind of weird and then ardy did me a favor and he brought me back up and the room went nuts and he was like give it up for my man right here that's a good that's a good for him it was already helped me out because the show ended in a weird way it wasn't like i patched it up yeah i became on
Starting point is 00:48:42 hinged because I got so upset because I know, you know, in hindsight, which didn't take long, she's drunk and she heard me say my wife is a service dog. Yeah, yeah. Because she can't handle her liquor. Right. And so that's where that came from. Yeah. And I mean, but the jarring that I feel when somebody does that, I can't recover almost.
Starting point is 00:49:02 I know, I know. Because I take it so personal. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, no, no, no. Not only are you wrong. I am pissed. I'm pissed at how stupid you are and how much of an.
Starting point is 00:49:12 impact it has on my existence. Yes. Like I am closing a set. This is my one of whatever amount of spots for tonight. It matters to me how I end this. It doesn't matter for you to derail my shit. And you're just an idiot misinterpreting things. And it's the casual like throwaways that you're like, you're just not thinking about
Starting point is 00:49:31 that impact on somebody and I need to illuminate it. Exactly. It's so annoying. Can I tell you, Artie did you a solid. But I think he just always looks for any excuse to elongate his time on stage. So I think If it wasn't you, he was going to sing Happy Birthday
Starting point is 00:49:47 That's a white girl on the ground. That's a good move. It was. Yeah, that's great. He's probably hosted a million shows And he knew what to do. Other hosts would have... That's a great fucking move.
Starting point is 00:49:55 It was a late show then. She was drunk. Yeah, yeah. Oh, last show of the night. Yeah. It was. Were you the last comic at the night? Yeah, it was.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Oh, man. Yeah. Well, that's a great way to put a button on it and everything. Yeah. And I was a little nervous. You know, I haven't been at the cellar that long. And I was like, man, I hope people don't think I'm a monster or the staff's mad at me or yada yada. And they were all great.
Starting point is 00:50:12 No way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It felt good. I was a little, you know, I was a little nervous about that. Yeah. So one guy the other night yelled out, show me your belly button.
Starting point is 00:50:24 And I was like, why are you asking to see my shallowest of holes? And then he, and then he started saying something. And I just instinctively just started going, or he, I was like, if, you see my belly button. I'm going to laugh like the Pillsbury dough boy. And then he was trying to talk and I just kept going, whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo. I love that.
Starting point is 00:50:47 And I. What a reverse heckle. And I psychologically, you know when they play like during, during Waco, they played Nancy Sinatra as these boots are made for walking as like a psychological torture against him. I psychologically tortured him with my sound, repetitive vocals to him until he literally slink back in the chair. and I was like, I feel like I'm part of the FBI.
Starting point is 00:51:10 And now I should kill myself because they're pieces of shit. And Sagelow and our old producer are watching Ian on stage. And he's like trying all these new bits about his dad dying. He's not doing great. He's being vulnerable. He's like using the room to like work shit out. And that no, no, no. It was tough.
Starting point is 00:51:24 That part, you pulled out of it. But that part you were in a fucking hole. And he grabs the microphone. And there's one guy like this in the front row. And he uses the bottom of it and holds it up to the guy's face like really close and goes, Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. This is a, I hate this comedian radar, and I lost my detector. It was so, and the guy, it's in his face, and he's beeping for a long time.
Starting point is 00:51:47 To the point that me and Sagalow were like, yo, this might be a meltdown, dude. We might have to drag our boy off stage. That is, that is brilliant. It was so funny. And we didn't think he'd recover, and you're like, this is, I hate this comedian detector, and we were done, dude. I'm forehead on the table. I mean, on the spot, that's.
Starting point is 00:52:06 It was so. So, well, it wasn't on the spot. He had about 19 seconds to think of it. Yeah, it was just like swimming to find something to grab onto. All right, I got a question for y'all. How do y'all handle people? No, it's your dog. Because I smell it, and it's not human.
Starting point is 00:52:26 It's not human. You're correct. That's why I thought it was you. She cut the cheese. Thank you. Wait, huh? She cut the cheese. What was your question?
Starting point is 00:52:34 How do you all react when people like? say something wild in the comments online. I don't read them. I will DM people and offer to buy them a flight to say it to my face. He goes after my bad comments. Tell them I know how the justice system works. And I'll get a desk ticket for assault and I'll be fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Me and you are way more similar than you might know. Because sometimes if somebody really comes in sideways, I'm like, you see my schedule. I'm not the comedian that you, I'm not your favorite comedians. I promise you, dog, it'll go down. And I'm not afraid to go to jail and I'm not afraid to go to the hospital. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:53:12 If you've been really somebody that's hit somebody in the mouth in your life, you try not to do it again because it's never fun. It's never gone. Well, I've smoked people and nobody goes, there it is. Everybody acts like a murder just happened. And they get in their vehicles and they talk about you behind your back. I knocked the guy out and everybody was like real excited about it. Yeah, well, see, I could not imagine.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Because the thing about it. I stood over his body. thinking I killed him and my life was flashing before my eyes. Yeah, that's terrifying. And then when I woke up, everybody was like, dude, that was a great shot. But that was three weeks ago. Yeah. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Well, I mean, I'm glad it didn't go bad for you. No. Let's hear it. Who'd you hit? This guy in Austin was being super anti-Semitic at this part of this Jewish comic. Like straight up went up and was like, are you a Jew? I fucking hate Jews. That's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:53:59 I hope all Jews fucking die. Don't clip this. And I was in the bathroom. I came out and everybody's sullen white face. I'm like, what happened? They tell me and I'm like, no one did anything. And they're like, no, it was crazy. And then someone told the manager.
Starting point is 00:54:14 And I asked a girl, I go, do you want me to like beat the fuck out of him? Do you want me to talk? And she's like, no, I just, this has never happened before. Like, shook. Yeah. He gets kicked out. We all go outside. And then he comes up and he starts talking and jib-jabbing.
Starting point is 00:54:27 And then he starts going off about Jews again. But this time he's getting, like, animated. And I'm like, this is going to, fucking go sideways. So I took all my rings off my hand. I was like, I just got to like be ready. And then he starts like getting like, oh yeah. And I'm like, yo, fuck you man.
Starting point is 00:54:43 Get the fuck out of here. And he looks. He goes, I bet you're a fucking Jew. So I flick my cigarette. I go, I am a fucking Jew. And I one punch slept them. Oh my gosh. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:54:54 That's unreal. That's what everyone was like, whoa. Yeah. I mean, Tarantino made a whole movie about that. Yeah. Yeah, I'm like the bear Jew. But dude, he got the last laugh because when he passed out is body went the shape of a swastika.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I was like, that's good work, buddy. And then I stood over him. I go, suck my monta balls. Huh? He knocked out? Yeah. No way. Where'd you hit him here?
Starting point is 00:55:18 Not right here. Yeah. He knocked out. You knocked out? Yeah, it's impressive. You have video? Get the fuck out of here. I need to see the video.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Not of the knockout. I mean, you're being way more humble than I. If I knocked a guy out, I'd be standing on the table. I would be peeing on both of me. I'm like old now. to ice my knuckles, I think I gave myself tennis elbow. No, I would have sat down. Man, that rains falling like the guy did last week.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's what we don't know. The guy might have been tiny. Was he tiny? He was bigger than me. Oh, really? Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Geez. Wow. Is this on your grinder profile? Yeah. I mean, what? What the fuck are you, you? Southern Snake. Wait, what's on Grindrifier profile?
Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah. I'm not on Grindrinder anymore. You were on Grindrinder. You said you were by. Yeah. I didn't think you were telling me to leave. you're identifying. You southern snake.
Starting point is 00:56:09 I am gay. Punch you. What? You can't tell somebody are by and then be mad about Grindr, that's where the buys go. He's just mad I even knew what it was. He's mad because of the shit he's done on Grindr.
Starting point is 00:56:20 I got shell shocked. I went to a place. What is this? I don't want to be Baptist. I go, what are you talking about? I had a flashback. Yeah, no, it was gnarly.
Starting point is 00:56:32 I love Southern Snake. I love. that. And then, dude, I'll tell you, he got up, and he was like, who hit me? Who hit me? And he starts, like, gesticulating, like, coming after something. Like, yo, yo, go, yeah, get the fuck. And it was funny.
Starting point is 00:56:44 This long hair hippie comes up. And he goes, you assaulted him. Get off. And I grabbed the guy. I go, yo, you don't know what the fuck is going on. Get out of here. And someone was like, he was being anti-Semitic. And the guy goes, carry on.
Starting point is 00:56:56 I was about to say, yeah. The guy got up and started gesticulating. And the bouncer choked him out. Hell yeah. And then me and the bouncer like high five. and like walked away and I'm I got my boys in there and I'm like I gotta get out of here like why I'm like I just
Starting point is 00:57:10 knock this guy I got I gotta fucking get out I don't want shit popping off and my buddy is drunk and he's like I'll fucking kill him and I'm like no Fred no and he runs out the guy's already down the street yeah my buddy chases him down they're fucking mouthing off
Starting point is 00:57:26 and I grab my buddy I'm like yo you've a family like stop yeah fuck my family fuck this guy I was like oh yeah we all want to fight and then the guy grabbed my buddy and I didn't see it I just saw the guy grab my friend and my buddy put him in a headlock and it starts like hitting him in the face oh no and but I see the kid's hand on my friend so I'm on his back just kidney shot and the fuck out of him and then Tommy Pope comes up and drags me away he's like are you fucking stupid I was like I know oh that's why you're ashamed because you took it you guys
Starting point is 00:57:54 took it way too far you jumped a kid no I just have no compassion for that guy under any circumstance yeah and then but but he had a black gay friend with him and And his friend was like, stop. You beat him up too, right? Stop. Stop. Well, obviously. Okay, good job. Stop.
Starting point is 00:58:09 But I was like, this is for your lifestyle. Meet me on Grindr. Um, you Southern Snake. You Southern Snake. You do you. Well, why did you leave me, Marshall? He had a black gay friend with him being like, don't hear him. And then the guy gets up, bloody nose.
Starting point is 00:58:24 And his friend is like, get out. Let's get out of here. And he goes, no. Did you hit me and punches a guy in the face? Oh, no. Told him. And he goes, fuck this. And he just like, he punch his own friend?
Starting point is 00:58:34 I don't know. if they were friends or if there was a stranger to take it off. Dude, this, it was a thing of like, I wonder if this guy was on drugs. He's sober too. Oh, yeah, I'm sober. Isn't that crazy? I'm a woman up on 11 years sober.
Starting point is 00:58:45 I mean, no nothing that you did was like a drunk action though. So there was no like, drunk night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's weird to be sober for that movie. Don't go out at night. It's just like nothing good happens. There's nothing there for me. It was just after I was at Cap City.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Everyone's like, let's hang. I'm like, all right. And, um, you know, I feel like I did the right thing in the moment because it looked as if it was leading towards violence. Like straight up like, I'll kill all Jews swinging his arms. Let's not say clippable things like this. No, it's totally violent. No, we're just kidding.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Nice guys. Nobody's going to do it. I'm just kidding. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, he's. Oh, he's Indian. No, he's not. He's Mexican.
Starting point is 00:59:27 Oh, oh. Wait, that's after you knocked him out? Yeah. See his swastika legs? Whoa, good job. Yeah, it was pretty gnarly. And I think in the, because I thought it was going to go violent, and when he swung to me, it was like, I bet you're a fuck.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Like, I am glad. But in hindsight, it's like cooler heads should prevail. The Jewish comic. Girl comic and awesome. Oh, girl comic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think in hindsight, you know, next time it's like you just, I thought it was going to get violent.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Yeah. And then he kind of charged at me. after I did flick the city. Let me tell you what happened the other day. So I got dragged online because I was talking about this guy who said a bad word for trans people, T-R-A-N-Y.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Wait, again? Ready for that? No, hold on. Wait, what happened? Just shut up. Again? What the fuck? Recently?
Starting point is 01:00:17 I'm going to talk about it. All right. So I said that. But also, can I just say real quick? Even if someone was, if that guy was like, well, you're a black, I'll kill blacks. I would have been like, I'm black.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. what are you saying about that? He's saying that he would have fought for any good cause in this situation. You're not Zionist? Is that where you trying to tell people? What?
Starting point is 01:00:41 Why are you saying that? Why are you clarifying that? No, just because it's, I think it's, because the moment seemed like it was going to get violent, and so I took up the charge of whatever the violence was towards. Okay. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:54 That makes sense. No. We didn't need clarification, unless you're, yes. I think I'm feeling insecure like maybe I shouldn't have done it. Oh, okay. You're trying to say that guy was violent. No, nobody is mad at you at all. Not at all.
Starting point is 01:01:08 You totally should have done it. Total support. You had to hit that guy. He's going crazy. No, no, no, no. Total support. He had to be subdued. He had to be subdued, yes.
Starting point is 01:01:15 No, total support. Also, if one hit knocks him down, he deserves to be taken out. You know what I mean? Well, it was also during this time when, like, Austin, New York was beefing. So when all these Austin comics saw it, they came up, like, dude, that was fucking nuts. And I was like, yeah, that's for New York. I was like, that one's for Lewis Gomez. That's his.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Oh my God. No, but I was like... Gomez thing was so crazy. Oh, yeah. But anyway, yeah, I was like, yeah, New York Comics are barely than Austin Comics, suck my dick. I love it. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Okay, this is recent? Is this gonna get in trouble if I talk about this? No, no, no. Go ahead of it does. Okay, basically what happened was. I was on Starvr's podcast. I was talking about it was shitty that this guy said, T-R-A-N-N-Y, right? And I was, but I said the word.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Yeah. Starvros was like you can't say, that word. I was like, I can't say that word. And he was like, you really can't say that word. And I was like, oh, I didn't know I couldn't say that word. Then it gets clipped. It gets put online. Everybody's dragging me. It just gets clipped me saying the word. Okay. It's kind of wild that it was clipped, right?
Starting point is 01:02:15 I don't know. Crazy it was clipped. Unbelievable out of context. Dobros is being like chill. This is crazy. Yeah, but it was like two friends basically being like, you're an idiot. Don't fucking say that word. Yeah, yeah. And I was literally being like, oh, I had no idea. Because I was talking about that it was shitty this guy said it. And I was like, I just didn't know.
Starting point is 01:02:32 I think that's a little lost babe in the woods. you had no idea, but you were quoting what the guy said. Yeah, no, I actually didn't know that you couldn't refer to the word. You know what I'm saying? I didn't know it was like the N-word, where if you're talking about the N-word, you can't say the word. I don't think any word is like the N-word. Apparently, this word is like the N-word. What's the N-word?
Starting point is 01:02:49 I say it. You missed a good opportunity as a Southern comic to really try to set me up. Derek, do you know? Okay, so then what happened was I get dragged online. Comics, two comedians drag me online, okay? So I'm furious. Ian's furious, we're all furious, okay? This one comic, ready?
Starting point is 01:03:11 Who, you know, right? Drags me online, it dies a little bit, he drags me again. And I DM him, I'm like, yo, buddy, we're friends. I don't know who you're talking. Yes, you do. Yeah, you do know how I'm talking about. Maybe I will later, but I don't. What?
Starting point is 01:03:25 The guy you went after online. Oh, that guy, yeah. Yeah. Now I. Okay. So that, yeah. So then you, that guy, right? He drags me twice.
Starting point is 01:03:33 And I'm like, hey man, we work it together. The cellar, I really didn't mean it. If you watch the podcast, you'll see that it was out of context and that I was actually kind of defending, whatever. And then the other day, we're at the cellar, and it's me, him, and another comic. And the comic that I'm sitting with drops that word twice. He laughs.
Starting point is 01:03:50 And I just look at him and I'm like, it was the best moment of my life. Really? I mean, it was a male comic who said it. He was like, did you hear about that guy who was fucking those T-word? and then he laughed and I looked and I shot to my dolls and I shot him a look and he didn't say shit isn't that the best that's great did you call him out on it like you're I went like this I went like this that's what I did yeah sometimes in the moment like in the shower you you think if I ever get that
Starting point is 01:04:19 opportunity I'm gonna call him out because I I have let boy I've torched him in the shit but in person it just plays a little different not a comedian I'm not going after a comedian in person I won't do it I know I feel you from anyone in person I do not doing it. I'm against it. That's why I'm mad about the online thing. Matter of fact, that thing I did on Twitter where I was like, yo, what the fuck, like talk to this person in person at your job?
Starting point is 01:04:42 Like, this is performative, whatever. I deleted that because I DM them was like, I got really hot-headed and I did the same thing that you did online. That's not who I am. And I would love to, like, talk and hash this out in person. And he just left me on red. You know. Because I'm done.
Starting point is 01:05:01 online. I hate that stuff. But you go after the commenters? I do, unfortunately. It's not healthy. I need to get off of there. Do you do it publicly or do you go into the DMs and call their kids from that? I like it right in the streets. Really? Yeah. I want everybody to be able to see us. Yeah. I mean, and it's just...
Starting point is 01:05:18 But what do people go after you for? You're so wholesome and nice and... Because people just say... I mean, it's the internet, you know? It's bots. A lot of it's just bots. I mean, the things that people will say or try to say or, you know, I mean, it's... I mean, I'm sure when I leave here, I'll have 100. examples, but the people on the internet are lawless, man. Be nice to Derek.
Starting point is 01:05:36 He's wonderful. And you go into it, we could find some good stuff? I mean, if you would, and yeah, and unfortunately, some of the threads are connected to like, Southern fried chicken phrases. Like, why don't you come down and me meow back? Yeah, I mean, if you want to eat a cripple, if you want to eat a crab sandwich, you're going to have to
Starting point is 01:05:54 rip off a claw. Yeah, do you say that? Yeah. Yeah. I like the ones he made up. I would say something closer to like, Like, you could run through a field full of pussy and you'd trip on a dick. You know, something like that. Where is that field? I know.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Well, you planted it, you know. Wow. But, you know, like a fun one, like that, you know, something. That's fun. What are some other phrases you have? I don't know. It's hard off the time. Slicker than deer guts on a doorknob.
Starting point is 01:06:23 That's my family says. Yeah, that's a real. I mean, there's so many. I say them all the time. And on the spot, I'll usually go blank. But I, uh. That guy's got a dick dude. his stomach stick out more than this dick do?
Starting point is 01:06:33 Yeah. You know, boy, that's sweet enough to take your feet. Oh, that's great. That's cool. That's really good. That's one that I've used recently, something like that.
Starting point is 01:06:47 My friend's dad, Vinnie, said something once. He was like, she's so ugly. She could dip her face in yogurt and come out cottage cheese. That's good. See, I love stuff like that. Yeah, me too. She's finest frog hair, man.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Yeah. I like that. And if you don't know how fine frog here is. I think you said that on stage once. That's tighter than a frog's pussy. No, it's tighter than a tix ass. Woo! Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:11 And that's a... You just say a real sentence. I translated in Southern. Yeah, those are all... I went around my elbow to get to my asshole. That's just taking too long to explain something when I could have just said it directly. Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
Starting point is 01:07:29 If assholes could fly, my work would be an airport. Yeah, I don't know how popular that one is. Yeah. Why don't you go out and get yourself a big Johnson. Trying to think of if there's any more off the top of my head. I've given you some good ones. The first one was one that I would hear every once in a while from my dad growing up. You could run through a field full of pussy and trip on a dick.
Starting point is 01:07:55 That was like, that's a bill, that's a bill classic. I was going to go over like a fart at a funeral. Yeah. Yeah, I think we went on a pretty good run of them there. So you'll comment, you'll comment and be like, hey, no cursing. No, I'm not going to curse. The most I've cursed in front of anybody in the past years, been on this podcast. Oh. Like online or on stage, because I don't, I don't, yeah, online, I'm going to keep it clean.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Just for the, it's all for just the expectation of the person that's, that likes me or watching my comedy. They're seeing the comments And they're like this guy is hilarious I got to say This is just another glimpse To how crazy I can be Not all this is just like an attack on my comedy Like I'll fly into a comment section
Starting point is 01:08:41 I don't even know what they're really talking about I just think you're mean Oh wow wow wow And you're the bully and now I want to talk to you And I know there's not many things I'm good at in life But I can put these words together And hurt your damn feelings That's awesome
Starting point is 01:08:53 And so I'm just on there bouncing I mean sometimes I mean to me It's almost as close as I'd ever get to just walking around and trying to find bad, like just walking around New York City and looking for people that cut people off and going, let me talk to you for a minute, big dog. You know, I get on the internet. That's all I want.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Yeah. I want to be a vigilante justice person. Like Curtis Lewa. Hello. It's not. Guardian Angel. On a train coming near you. Let's do it.
Starting point is 01:09:18 He loves cats. Yeah, I do too. I mean, you know. Curtis Lewa? You have to know. Where's the beret thing? He ran for governor. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:27 Ran for mayor against the wrong. Yeah. But what? Did you say him? Because he had a program called the Guardian Angels, where in the 70s and 80s when New York was, you know, on the brink, him and a bunch of volunteers went on the trains to keep vigilante justice and help keep the place safe.
Starting point is 01:09:44 It's great. And he's a tough dude. I mean, he had the mob jumping one time. Oh, and he'll tell you about it every time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He will. Curtis, you know, it's been snowing a lot in the city. What's your opinion on Zoron's snow removal program?
Starting point is 01:09:56 He's like, well, I was almost removed one time. Yeah, yeah. 1981 right here in the city I was raised in, the water I drink. I love, I would love to get him on the podcast. I might have led to a breakup the other day. I was walking this way and some woman had to go to UPS in front of me. So instead of waiting for me, she just walked in front of my body. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:14 And I went, Jesus, like that. And her boyfriend looked at me and was like, I am so sorry. And I could see in his eyes that he was like, I knew she was like this. Yeah. I've been wanting to end things and this is the final stroke. Dude, I love that your wife had your back. That was so cool. Alyssa, she'll ride with me.
Starting point is 01:10:31 She's, she's, what's great with Alyssa's, she's, like, very even-kill and balanced and, like, not super emotional like me. So, she's my soundboard. I love that. I'll stuff off over, I mean, when I'll be on the internet and I'll go, all right, I'll go, am I being crazy? She's like, you're losing your mind.
Starting point is 01:10:47 And I go, I'll delete it. Yeah, yeah. Or she'll go, get them. Oh, that's really nice. Get them. Yeah. Yeah, I met my wife on a CB radio. We call that the Redneck Internet.
Starting point is 01:10:56 On a CB radio. No, that's so beautiful. Yeah. Are you judging? That's so nice. Your autism kicks in. I is. And you do this where you get fixated on one thing and right now yours is phrases.
Starting point is 01:11:09 You got to pull out of it a little bit. I know. We had one episode where he couldn't stop making, he does this a lot where he'll take songs in an album and make a phrase out of them. And we'll have like a big guest on and he'll just be like, well, it's like lightning strikes in the summer. And I'm like, you can't. Sometimes my thoughts get twisted into a day. devil's not. Don't do this.
Starting point is 01:11:30 My favorite author is David's Adair's. But see, it doesn't make sense because you're just taking things and making new. It only makes sense if it works with the thing. But I want something to be so great that you think it's fantastic. Right. Oh, nice. Oh, my God. Nice.
Starting point is 01:11:44 I love, love, and that's so cool that your wife has your back. We've been together about seven years. That's sick. How'd you guys meet after a copy show? We met. I was still had a day job at the time, and I was the manager of Big Loss. Doing lots. Nice.
Starting point is 01:11:59 Yeah, I was the furniture manager. And, yeah. Wow. But you managed to find her for her. So she wasn't a fan. I think that's good. No, she wasn't, she wasn't a fan. I mean, I got her to a show as soon as I could.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Right, right. Because for me, I was just in big lots because I needed a job. Y'all, you know, we're all comedians. I was just trying to do whatever job would let me do whatever I wanted. And I was a retail manager for a long time. God bless retail workers out there. Y'all don't get the love you deserve. It's a nightmare.
Starting point is 01:12:28 It's a nightmare job. I try to tip them out, and a lot of them go, we don't take tips. I go, well, I think I just left a couple bucks here. Yeah. And they look like the eye in the sky is going to take their life. Retail is, I mean, the way people talk to retail workers and the stuff they go through during the holidays is unreal. The same way we talk to people on the internet.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Yeah. You might be right. But yeah, we met at Big Lots. I got a tour show as soon as I could. I was. Was buying something? Ow. She worked there.
Starting point is 01:12:59 Oh. It's a classic manager. Dip in the pen and the company ink, brother. Yeah. A little calligraphy. Did you get in trouble? You can't get it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:07 I mean, not like trouble, but I mean, they were all losing their minds because I was the furniture manager and I would just hang out with her in the warehouse the whole time. Happy Litz and Montague. Yeah. Did you have warehouse sex? Come on. Yes, you did. Let's go.
Starting point is 01:13:22 Oh, dude. I wouldn't take it the, I would have taken the price gun. and go on this ass too expensive. I mean, there's plastic on all the mattresses, but they're just in rack, so you can just pull a mattress. Oh, yeah. No way. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Shut up. Did you do that? I did. Yeah, yeah. She doesn't work there, right? What do you mean? Anymore. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:13:42 Wait, did you resell the mattress? I resell it. I mean, I sold it for the first time. Yeah, I mean, they were all in plastic, like, you know. You fucked on the mattress? Yeah, yeah. And then we were young and love. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:13:55 That was seven years ago. Yeah, I mean, And it was just crazy. We'd be back, you know, making out, full and around. Everybody's, I mean, they were dying on the registers up for, we need backup on register three. And I'm just, I mean, my radio, I was like, backing it up right now.
Starting point is 01:14:09 Who cares about backup on register three? You crazy? Oh, that rules. I mean, our managers, everybody was losing their mind. They're like, we know that you're dating. And I'm like, you can't prove it, you know? And then we would leave in the same car. Yeah, I never, I never cared.
Starting point is 01:14:26 I mean, I quit that job like in a manager's meeting like you do like in a movie. I like stood up, told everybody what I thought about them except for Cindy. Hell yeah. No way. I go, me and Cindy were boys. You know, I ride with you, Cindy. And I went around the rest of the room. And then I, because they were all mean to Cindy.
Starting point is 01:14:42 And I love and, and they're just mean to Cindy. I don't know why. Because Cindy's like just kind of like a simple homie sweetheart. I like you just knocked down. He has a gun. He's not telling us. Here's the deal. You do.
Starting point is 01:14:54 I go, here's the deal. Okay. Okay. Out of the way, big dog. Everybody's going to start treating Cindy a little better, aren't we? Yeah, I mean, I lost my mind. But that's how I quit. And then when I got done, the store manager, she goes, Hey, Derek, we all know that she's exactly what she said.
Starting point is 01:15:08 She goes, we know you're very emotional. And I'm sure you didn't mean what you said. And I go, I'm in every word. And I go, I'm going home and I'm never coming back. And I did. And I never came back to Big Lots ever again. That's so. Me and Cindy are still, we're still friends.
Starting point is 01:15:22 I love Cindy. You don't watch podcasts because you're 71, but I love you, sweetheart. Oh, that's so cute. How could they be mean to an older woman? Well, because... That pisses me off. Yeah, because she was just like kind of simple and homie and sweet and not like super fast around the store. But she was the best.
Starting point is 01:15:40 She had a great story. Her cigarettes were in a leather pouch. Oh, yeah. You know, she was just... Is she single? Well, she's a little older now, but she's, I believe she's single. Yeah. And there was just retail managers are mean.
