to live
a life
being in
Being in with Jordan
My checks
Mike checks
Okay
Tell your alternative
Oh I know
I better know what it is
And I had that too
Okay
Maybe not
But uh
shingles
No
My mom came to visit me
And got so stressed
That she left
And had shingles
For like two months
Yeah
She got
Do you have shingles?
I did have shingles.
Did it look like this?
Stress shingles.
It looked, yeah, I got some pictures.
It was on my leg, but they say it's normally around your ribs.
Yeah.
When I had a real fucked up travel time in Portland, Maine, and I had to, like, move a show back,
and I had to get a plane to Boston, then run a car and drive to make the gate.
It was like snowstorms.
That night, I was so stressed.
I couldn't sleep, and I just said stress shit up my side.
I was like, oh, my God, oh, my God.
I have shingles, blah, blah, but I went away.
Wow.
Mine's sticking around.
Yours is hanging out.
Here's moved in.
Here's what it might be.
I stopped eating sugar and gluten because I had always had an itchy butt, itchy vagina.
Okay?
Like yeast.
So much yeast.
Yeah.
Listen, don't look away.
Okay.
Then I totally cut off sugar.
Okay.
I was eating exclusively gummy bears on the road.
Okay.
And then Chachy-B-T said, you might just look out.
You might have.
You might have a candida flare up, which is where it spreads.
It tries to escape.
So that could be what it is.
Maybe you're detoxing it.
I know.
Your bodies.
I could be.
Now, Chad GPT said that.
What did a doctor say?
I haven't asked a doctor.
But I asked.
I think the doctor's sitting in the office on check.
I actually know that.
Your friend said that.
What?
Your friend who we just talked to on the phone as a doctor said that uses chat.
I know.
Well, you told me about that and you sent me the picture and you used chat GPT.
I use chat EBT.
and it said,
You go itch, bitch!
Like EBT food stamps?
Because that's so fucked up.
Damn, girl, you bumpy hell.
Wait, can we do this?
Can you do chat BET?
Chat BET?
Yeah.
Damn, bitch.
Oh, just a slightly more wealthy black man.
Just a black man with a few dollars.
Damn, bitch.
Oh, let me just change to a black man with a couple dollars.
Let me fan you off with my dollars.
Yeah, I haven't watched B&T.
BET since the 90s, but it feels
like, yeah, Comic View.
No, that was it, right?
BET Comic View?
Bruce, Bruce.
Dude, that's where it was out.
Death Comedy Jam is one of my favorite series of all times.
I have studied that with how good they are, like, act outs,
and just like sitting in something and letting it go around to where everyone's like,
okay, we're done.
And then just like hitting it again.
I timed an act out and it was a minute and 30 seconds once.
It was a guy spraying Jerry curl on his own head.
Oh, yeah.
It was amazing.
There's one of a lady
I don't know what it's from
But she comes out
She's a big lady
And she just starts
Pulling all these things
Out of her bottles
Yeah
Out of her breasts
Pulls a bottle
A cup
I mean it
Is just
Yeah
It's just
Destroying the room
I don't know
What you do after that
You drink it
I think you leave
How do you just go
Into jokes
After that
I go
It sounds at the grocery
store the other
You pull all the bottles
Out you pour a drink
And go
You know
I was talking to my friend
Chat EBT
the other day
It sounded a little something like this.
I'm thirsty, motherfucker.
Yeah, that would work.
They'd really like that.
You did comic, you did last comic standing.
Yeah, I did, yeah.
I used to watch that religiously.
2015.
Yeah.
I made it to what they called the final 100.
How many people were there?
I would like to think millions.
I auditioned.
I did not get past the second round.
It was, I was alone at Gotham Comedy Club with Wanda Sykes in the back of the room.
Oh, you might have did the same years.
me because that's what I did too. That's what it was. And two, two producers of Wanda Sykes.
Yeah. And I, middle of the day. Middle of the day, Gotham Comedy Club, 2 PM. They had a comic waiting here while you're on stage. You get off. That comic goes up and they put someone else in like a bullpen. And I sped through my act, got one laugh. And they were like, so it says in your bio you've only been doing comedy for three years. And I went, yeah, I'm just a little baby. And they went, what, what was that? And I went, oh, and I get nervous. I do.
voices. And they were like, thank you.
That was it. No way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No way. They didn't want any more.
Dude. That's a horrifying story. You do voices when you get nervous or were you tried to
grown out of it, but I did. Yeah. I thought you were just mocking. No, no, no.
Something me and me and both do is we sing when we get nervous. Yes. On stage.
Like on stage or something, we both, I've noticed we both have this thing. We'll be like,
we'll be like, I'm not allowed to talk about this because I haven't discussed it with my
therapist, you know, or something like that. Yeah. Wow. We both do that.
Or, like, when someone does, like, accents, if they get nervous.
Have you ever done that?
I couldn't believe that last comic standing wouldn't want that, though.
I feel like they want the weird stuff.
They want to be like, look at these people.
And they want to just exploit it.
And they go, a guy does baby voices when it's nervous.
Oh, because they want, they want, it's like America's got, or what is it like?
God, Dave.
American TV on TV.
I'm happy about it, too.
Actually.
Did they do a thing where they were like, what's your sob story?
Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, because I was doing trailer park jokes in the first two rounds. And then when I made it to LA, they were like, this three minutes, you can't use it again. So I was like, well, trailer park's my whole thing. If I do three minutes, that's my whole chunk gone. Yeah. So I did something different. And they didn't like that. But they wanted, they were like, what would this mean to you to win? I go, I don't know. It'd be nice to headline clubs around the country. Yeah. I think they were looking for me to be like, I could pull my mom out of poverty. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wouldn't be able to.
Yeah.
I wouldn't be able to do,
it's so exploitative.
You would fall so deep into this.
You'd be like,
what would this mean to you?
And you'd start crying.
You'd be like,
oh,
I just feel like my dad in heaven.
Well,
that's why I am so glad I didn't do it.
Because at that time of my life,
it would have been like,
I'm sober and I,
like risen from the ashes.
And it would have been so bad for me to then go on stage.
You'd be like,
my girl's like the fall.
Like whatever I was doing at the time, you know?
It's terrible.
You would have fallen into that.
You are the guy that would have fallen into that.
I would have before, but I would now.
I'd be like, fuck that.
That's why they want to get you early on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They should have gotten in on the ground floor.
They should have.
The little baby.
Yeah.
So tell us about the baby voice.
I was molested.
Yeah.
They pull out childhood trauma.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They really do.
It's very weird.
The Bachelorette, they have to do it every time.
Producers are evil.
Yeah.
They watch and then they're,
like, oh, I know what we can
manipulate. My, my big fat sister or whatever that show is
called. Oh, yeah. That's unacceptable.
That we have that on TV. Several of those shows. It could be
there's so many. You've named like seven shows.
Yeah, yeah. Those are all fucked up. What's the other one that I can't believe is real?
My 600 pound life. Oh, my brother's grown out of my neck.
I mean, basically, I mean, I even think love on the spectrum is pretty bizarre.
Dude, I know. I mean, it's a great show. I know. Why have jokes about it?
about how it's like insane we made them famous for being autistic
and it's basically like when you recognize one of them
you're like hey are you on that show about retards
and they're like nah you're my favorite one
you're my favorite Pokemon retard yeah yeah it is fucked up
it is weird it's crazy and then they go on talk shows
and you see them get like nervous and anxious and they're just repeating
Rick Lasman's podcast farting it's like what is happening
what is happening I don't know the show but I know
you don't know love on the spectrum I don't know I don't know
You know, my wife watches some of those shows.
You know they have a new one called Down for Love.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
We're watching it tonight.
Oh, no.
Isn't it called Down with love?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it's down for love.
Down for love.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
You can't do that.
Like the curious case of, I don't know, this little girl.
It was like, you ever see?
I don't know.
It was her name.
But it was like, oh, that little girl.
Yes.
Who was old but young?
Yes.
Yes.
I watched that whole show.
And then I just left the show thinking,
I just watched hours of this family abusing this little girl.
Yeah.
And they were like, she's grown up.
Yeah.
And it's like, no, she's a little girl.
Yeah.
And the family was like,
we don't believe that you're what you say you are.
Yeah.
And they're like, you just live in this apartment,
you 40 year old woman.
And she was like, I don't know how to use a spoon.
Yeah.
She's like, nobody taught me to read.
What are you talking about?
I'm seven.
Yeah.
And they're like, no, you're a 40-year-old Mexican girl.
Right.
And your body is weird.
So we can't tell what it is.
So we're going to deem it old.
And they just made that show.
And I don't think they went to jail.
Really?
I don't know.
I don't think the guy went to jail.
That's crazy.
We documented it.
And we should go to jail, right?
The only one that is good that has existed is the jinx.
You see the jinx?
I don't think I've seen that.
The jinx, he reveals that he's the killer at the end of the season.
And the people filming the season are like, yeah, he's in the bathroom.
And he goes, of course, I killed them.
killed them all. And the people making the show were like, they heard that he was on live
mic. That was sick. That was great. Imagine though, you're that guy and you've, whatever you've done
and you got, you were like, nobody caught you and then you outed yourself on a, yeah, but you're the
idiot who said, I'll do the show because I have nothing to. That's total ego. That's total ego.
That's total ego killing multiple people and then being like, I'll get so close to the fire,
but I will not get burned. Right. That's like Trump's card. That's like the birthday card when he wrote
to Epstein where he was like,
we share many secrets together?
I'm like, just right, happy birthday.
Did that happen?
He gave, he wrote a birthday card to Epstein that said, did that just come out?
He, like, a week ago, that was like a picture of a woman that he drew.
And then he wrote, happy birthday, may we share many more secrets.
And I'm like, just right.
Dude.
Made me share many more days, wishes, afternoon.
Even if you don't have secrets.
Even if you don't have secrets.
You never even want to make a joke card about it.
Maybe we share secrets that are older than the girls we have sex with.
Signed Donald James.
You shouldn't even tell people that you have secrets with that.
That's crazy.
That's what a secret is.
Yeah, totally.
Dude, I feel good about that stuff because I don't have any secrets.
Well, I don't know that I don't have any secrets.
But, yeah, I mean, I wouldn't write a card to someone.
You're only as sick as your secrets.
Secrets keep you sick.
Is that true?
Yeah.
And if you don't got secrets, you got nothing to hide.
Yeah, but you can tell one person something, but not every.
I got no secrets.
You have secrets.
What do you think is the secret?
You have deep-seated insecurity
that is unresolved that you haven't faced.
That's not a secret.
Everybody knows that.
Are you kidding me?
What the fuck are you talking about?
James?
James.
You broke the chair.
Look, did you break the chair?
Are you giant?
Mocular body?
The conversation got so intense for him
that he broke the chair.
Is that our chair?
It's like.
Is that the chair?
No, he's in the chair.
He's in the nice chair,
but we have a guest.
so the nice guy, the guest guy.
No, dude, are you kidding me?
I like the shards of plastic in my ass.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I love that.
That's a triggering thing to hear
because I used to be a fat girl
and I used to break those chairs all the time.
You know how fat people lost weight back in the day
when electricity was invented?
Oh, geez.
Welcome back to another episode
to be in Ian with Jordan.
Dude, that, the Prozac makes my delay so.
I like watch that whole thing and then scream.
What is that?
It's a taser.
Do you want to tase yourself?
Oh, no, no. I thought it was a vape.
Shout out haywire. Shout out juice box.
Last night they played Brooklyn Meadows and they all stayed at my place and I tased one of the kids from juice box.
It's like 24th. Dude, I'd eight people sleeping in the house last night.
Really?
You can't even tell.
And you tased a guy. Is that cool?
Tase a guy.
I said, welcome to New York, bitch.
You did? You can't do that.
He asked for it.
Oh, okay. Okay.
They wanted me to taste him.
How did it? How did he do?
Yeah, how did he do?
Took it like a bit.
Did he?
You wouldn't take it like Dusty Wood?
I'm gonna,
I'm gonna go ahead and say
I probably would take it.
That thing looks terrifying to me.
That's fair.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
James,
you're up.
You know,
by a light switch or,
you know.
Have you ever been in a fight?
Yeah.
It's been a long time,
but yeah,
for sure.
That's cool.
Yeah,
I grew up in a trailer park.
I mean,
we used to fight all the time as kids,
but yeah.
Also as an adult,
I've been punched in the face.
Really?
Yeah.
Over what?
I used to drink a lot
and got punched.
I got beat up in Charleston.
What happened in Charleston?
I was, you know, I went out to.
You got stomped out?
I went to a happy hour and I had some socky and then I continued on through the night.
To get us little socky.
And then I ended up in a bar around closing time.
Closing time.
You know, dancing with girls.
Time to punch dusty in the face.
That weren't my girl.
And then a guy confronted me and then another guy grabbed me from behind and threw me on the ground.
And then people started kicking me.
And then I got up.
I got up and I was mostly unheard, I think, at that point.
But I saw a couple of the guys on the corner.
So I went to confront them and then they beat me up on the corner.
I was pretty drunk.
Good for you for not backing down.
Yeah.
And both of my eyes were swollen shut.
Yeah.
But no blood.
I never bled.
You didn't have glasses at the time.
No, I don't think so.
Yeah.
Dusty has this thing where he's a little bit like the most hilarious Murphy's Law.
what's that just like shout out murphy's law great new york city hardcore band you have you'll when we
were on tour you like so many calamities would happen that would just you'd just be like i'm totally
fine with this like he showed up and he was like he was like all right i think we're gonna need
to stop somewhere and get me a shot because he was just covered in poison oak yeah had a lot of
poison oak you had a stomach thing had poison i always have a stomach thing but yeah had poison oak
you got sunburn so bad yeah and then i got i got sick oh you got sick we were in
DC. What year was this? This was
2017, I think. Why were you
not wearing shoes at one point? Well, because
my shoes were,
the sole was so thin
that I had little holes in it.
And in DC it was raining. So I was walking
and my socks were getting wet.
And it was real cold. It wasn't
real cold, but it was kind of cold. And then
I was getting a little sick. So I had
to, uh, I needed to take
the shoes off to let my socks dry.
And I was real, I got real
horse for some reason, just that one
day. And then so I did the show with no voice and no shoes. And like Ronnie Van Zant
or Skinner. Yeah. And then we had to stay at, you know, Evan's friend's house. And then we went to
Charleston and stayed at a place. And they had a couple big dogs. And they had like, I mean,
there was like this much hair, dog hair all along the baseboards on the floor. So you could
be, and me and Jordan slept on couches in there. And you could barely breathe in there. I mean,
I had to make, anytime we had to, like, share a space,
that Dusty would have to get into the sleeping bag
because he was covered in poison home.
So if he had to share a bed with, like, me or Evan,
he had to get in the sleeping bag so he didn't contaminate anybody,
but it was so hot.
And then we ended up in Florida.
We went to the beach, and then we all got really sunburned.
We have a picture in my hometown.
We just show my hometown in Opelika, Alabama.
And we were all so red.
Yeah.
I think you had a great set in Opelika, right?
Yeah, in your hometown.
Yeah.
She thrives when she's red.
You got burnt in Florida where we did the Truman Show City.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, Seaside.
That was crazy.
Oh, and then we did that, we did that radio show with that guy.
Yeah.
I wanted to try to cut that up.
I never have done it yet, but that was really funny.
Just like a local Florida guy did a radio show.
There was also a thing going on that Evan had.
Who's Evan?
Evan was a kid on the road with Evan who?
Evan Burke.
Oh, okay.
Evan had a weed pen.
And me and Dusty were both like,
ah, we're not that into drugs.
We don't drink.
But we would hit the weed pen and then get like annihilated immediately.
Like silly fun?
Like,
oh, like hysterically laughing.
Oh.
Like at one point,
at one point we were driving down.
And Dusty was like insane.
He's driving the car.
It's a storm that's so bad you can't see out of the windshield.
There's no way to see it's just water.
It was unreal.
The lightning was,
I mean,
it was like just streaks of lightning.
But that's how he,
talks, but he's driving. He's like, this
is really bad, y'all. And I'm like,
yeah, you have to stop. And then every
time the lightning would strike, there was a spider
in the car, and I would freak the
fuck out. And Dusty would go like this,
all right, Doran, you got to lock it up.
And I couldn't. And I'd be like, okay, okay, okay, I'm
sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And then it was
like, Jesus Christ. He'd be like, lock it up now.
And then we went into a Love's gas
station that we thought was hell
in heaven. In the middle
of nowhere, it was so bright. It was
And they had all this candy.
It is like we died along the way and ended up in this place.
The storm was crazy.
You weren't pulling.
It was crazy.
And this is not okay to drive.
It was a fun run of show.
I don't think any of the shows were particularly good.
Or money.
No money.
No money.
But it was fun though.
So fun.
That weird girl that we stayed with that was like a Orlando princess.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Seaside.
She was, what was her name?
Orlando Princess.
She was like a Disney princess.
She was a Disney princess on and off the stage.
Off stage she kept doing.
Laren.
Laren.
Laren?
Her real name, first name was Laren.
Yeah.
Yep.
Her last name was Jadis.
Jitus.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sweet girl.
But we always stayed at that house and it was always a, because it was the improv people they did,
or actors at this theater in seaside.
Yeah.
So they would let us stay with the actors.
But every year it was a revolving cast.
with a few remaining members
and we would just invade their space
for a few days.
So bizarre.
You introduced me at WWE?
Oh yeah.
You would never watch WWE until?
No.
Whoa.
He introduced me to...
Yeah, Evan is really into
wrestling and I like old stuff.
I like the 90s.
I love 90s.
I love 90s, everything,
like 90s sports, 90s wrestling.
Ever since after that,
I'm just like, I don't really care that much.
I know.
It's not.
The Bulls?
The Bulls.
Bulls.
Boles.
Loved the Bulls.
It is like the world did end in 2000, Y2K.
The world ended at 9-11.
That was a cataclysmic reality shifting event.
We've been in a different reality ever since then.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is like, yeah, I mean, because people talk about this, right?
It's like you clear you can go 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s.
And you could be like, yes, that was that decade.
But like 2000, 2010, 2000, like.
I don't know.
It all looks the same to me.
Just a mishmash.
What was going on in 2010?
Name a thing.
Wow.
iPhone came out.
2000.
Good job.
Oh, yeah.
2010.
And it's been downhill ever since.
Yeah, that's true.
We are communication and our ability to get along has plummeted.
That is true.
That is true.
The 2000s and 2010 was just a mishmash of social media, technology, and an invasion of privacy.
at the hands of the government
all coming together
to make us just be complete
stony, baloney, droney.
You guys don't know.
In 10 years,
this might look like the heyday do.
No.
Everybody looks like in retrospecting
I went to a,
I went to a fucking
comic book shop this weekend.
Shout out Toy Pit
Indianapolis.
You don't have to shout out
everything that you say.
I like it.
I like to give people
credit when there's good stuff.
I like to give up shoutouts.
Thank you.
Okay, you'll see.
Okay.
Get a counter going.
Get a counter going.
Shout out Toy Pitt.
There was.
a Ghostbusters
toy for sale from
1989 for $3.99 for $3.98
and now
it is on sale for like $75.
By you?
Huh?
By you? No.
No, I watched it.
By toy pit? Yes.
Oh, it's for sale for $75 at a toy pit.
So, but the thing is,
the thing is, the cool stuff that we wanted
back in the day was just $5.
No big deal.
And now they cash in.
on our nostalgia of when you play
to toys before your family was broken up
with unspeakable tragedies.
And then you pay for that.
And it's like you're paying for the memory
of when your dad was still alive.
Ian, you must hear yourself.
What?
You're just, you're upset that you...
You're describing inflation.
You're describing vintage things becoming valuable.
That's a tale is oldest time.
That's always been the way.
No, no.
But our vintage was better.
Yeah, you're really dead.
Defend in the 2000s.
I was born in 1991.
Okay.
1991, good year.
Yeah, you said you were 10 and, oh, 9-11.
9-11.
Yeah, okay, that makes sense.
No, but you're describing, I mean, that's what happens.
Things get value as time goes on and your commitment.
Yeah, but the stuff we had in the 90s was way cooler than the stuff we have now.
For cheaper.
The stuff children have now sucks compared to the stuff we had as children.
I have kids and it's like they get toys and they're done with them.
pretty fast.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I had one bear for life.
Yeah.
That's the thing, because the toys we had when we were younger were so much cooler and cheaper
than the ones that are available now.
Yeah.
And I am proving my point.
You helped me with.
G.I. Joe's used to bend so well.
They were like, really.
And toys now, they're all stiff.
Oh, really?
It's like, yeah, you could really, I don't know.
G.
I love.
G.
I just had the trigger, the little finger finger?
I think they just had a finger like this.
There's also something weird.
Were you back?
Huh?
No, they had Kung Fu grip.
No, they had this.
This is actually exactly it.
No, G.I. Joe Hans was like this.
Some of them were like that, but some of them had that.
Told the gun.
Yeah.
That's because you were making them.
Some of them had that.
Some of them had that. My blonde had one.
That's why I know, obviously.
That's why I know about this.
Back me up on this.
I forget.
The 90s is just better.
Nineties were great, though.
You're saying that you want a toy from your childhood and having it be 75.
That doesn't make sense.
You saying that a $7 toy back then used to be a lot better than a $7 toy now does make sense.
No, no, no.
A $7 toy from 1991 is infinitely better than a modern day toy that you would spend $35 on.
I believe that.
Yes.
But you being mad at a thing getting old and acquiring value, that doesn't make sense.
Well, I feel like toy pit's just making that money.
They're trying to survive.
Don't fucking talk that.
way. Toy pits good guys over there. That's what we're saying. They got to make their bag.
But nostalgia keeps places like that afloat. I feel like that the 80s and 90s and nostalgia has been like packaged and sold to generations of people in ways that nostalgia never had before because it's.
Nobody's Googling that shit but you and other weird guys.
Weird guys out there. I'm not getting any ads for old Ghostbusters shit.
It's not like that.
Like eBay ads.
Yeah, I'm not getting that.
I'm not getting sent.
I think what I'm trying to say is everything being created now and toys that are being made for shows now.
When we were growing up, you almost had to like, your mom had to stitch together your Halloween costume or whatever.
And now you can go out and buy an Iron Man costume with the helmet.
And it's just like the movie.
And it makes it not as special.
It's not as cool.
Because when you're a child and you get the amazing thing right away, you're like, whatever.
But when you have to like, we have too much stuff.
Yes.
We have too much stuff.
We've always had too much stuff.
No, we haven't.
Not the way we got stuff now.
If you go to like these thrift stores, like there's these giant warehouse thrift stores where it's like, none of this is good.
Yeah.
Like you walk through and you go, I don't, I like looking at it.
I go, remember that?
Yeah.
But I don't want it.
You think stuff has to be eliminated from the planet?
Yes.
Yeah.
Stuff.
We should have a big burn, ideas, opinions.
A big burn, yeah.
Oh, it's a big burn.
Yeah.
I have an idea that.
What do they do with all the stuff?
Same with the bodies.
One of the, one of the graveyards are going to be kicked out.
That's what I'm saying.
Isn't it crazy we still bury people?
We never have new graveyards.
I never see a new graveyard.
How about that black stone?
Who's, like, how are people not?
Yeah, I think about this all the time.
Do they mow it over at some point?
You never see a new graveyard.
You never see.
You see patches of graveyards, maybe a new little spot.
Dude, you know, back in the day, having a graveyard was like, you were like a
bigillionaire.
And if you had plots of land in the grate, you could sell that for like a ton of money.
Wow.
My great-grandfather, Vincent Tartaglia,
owned a cemetery in Wilmington, Delaware.
And he was going to...
Vinny Tartar.
He was going to...
to own he was going to give it to my grandmother and her sister and blah blah and my grandmother's
brother before he died changed his will and got all the money and all the assets and my grandmother
and aunt didn't get great great aunts didn't get shit right and then when my fucking grandmother
died my aunt carol you dumb dirty fucking bitch i hated when you were alive i just want to
warn you i'm dissociating so if you could just wrap this up well before my grandmother died
she did the same fucking thing and switched all the fucking things around we didn't
had any fucking money and she did. I lost you a little while ago because I was remembering when
we had Sean Patton on and we spent the entire episode making up fake family members of Dusty Slay.
Yeah. Like I have, have you heard about Dusty's, um, gay. Wait, hold on. Dusty's windy
day. Windy cousin who does ceramics, Gusty Clay. Oh, Gusty Clay. Remember that? But if she were
my cousin, she would still be Slay though, right? Gusty Slay. Yeah. We, we negated that. Can we all just, did we
I just breathed by the fact that my family's been perennally fucked by the graveyard in the tree.
I truly stopped listening to it.
I came up with Dusty Clay while you were talking.
It's just doing it to each other.
Yeah, but we don't talk to that side of the family anymore.
Could you abbreviate what he said?
Well, I think he said that his great-grandfather,
he was part of the tartarian.
If you can repeat this, I'll give you $100.
He was part of the Tartarian Empire, I think.
And he, he,
you're nailing it
and he owned the graveyard
and it was worth a lot of money
and then before he died
he switched something in the will
so that nobody on his side of the family
got any money
yeah okay but that's his prerogative
is it not?
What? No my great great uncle
redid his father's will
so that him and his family got all the money
cutting out my grandmother,
my Aunt Rose, and my Aunt Tookie.
Tookie got cut out.
Tuckie got cut out.
And Aunt Tookie looked like Elizabeth.
And Tuckie looked like Elizabeth.
Who's that famous Elizabeth Taylor?
Oh, okay.
And people would ask her for autograph and she'd sign a Tuckie.
Wow.
That's cute.
So there's a lot of people who think Elizabeth Taylor's nickname is Tuckie.
Yes.
That's nice.
From that time.
Yeah.
And so that,
fucking dickhead, change the will.
And so cut out Aunt Tokey, Aunt Rose and my grandmother.
And then my fucking bitch-cunt Aunt Carol did the same fucking thing to me and my mom.
That's just how family goes.
That's like how my dad's wife sold the house we built.
No, no, that's not okay.
That's so fuck.
People get so weird around that.
It's like the wills come up and they're like, I got to get this.
Yeah.
And it's like, I don't know.
It's so wild.
No, my aunt specifically said you're not getting anything.
you would just pour it down your throat
because you're nothing but an alcoholic
and that was the last time I ever talked to her.
Because you were blacked out.
We call it B-E-Ted out.
And it goes a little something like this.
You would have put you down your throat at the time.
Whatever happened.
I was fucking living in the halfway house at the time.
That's what, that's, yes.
Are you really taking Aunt Carol's side right now?
I'm saying whatever happens is for the best.
Are you really taking Aunt Carol side?
I'm saying whatever happens is for the best.
If you got money, you don't know what would have happened.
If Aunt Carol really cared, she would have put it in some kind of trust for you
with a stipulation that if you get sober, you get the money.
Well, I'll tell you this.
Yeah.
My mom is such a fucking real one, dude.
My aunt.
Shout out, Gail.
Shout out, Gail.
You're a fucking real one.
Dude, my aunt, when she met my uncle, he fucking had a family.
And my aunt said, if you marry me, you will never talk to your family ever again.
He had a kid.
He had an ex-wife.
aunt that cut you guys out. Okay.
So she goes, she goes, dude, don't ever
talk to your family ever again.
They do not exist. And fucking dumb
Uncle Bill was like, oh, okay.
Uncle Bill is weak.
My fucking, dude, he's such a
fucking pussy. If you're watching, fuck you.
He's weak.
And so, fucking,
when all this shit happened,
my mom knew this
and my cousin didn't know.
And my mom called her and goes, hey, I just
want to let you know,
you've got another family.
Best of luck, goodbye.
Who would she say that?
My cousin.
To Carol?
She said that to Carol's kids?
Yeah.
Kid.
Yeah.
Wow.
Gail said that?
Gail's a fucking real one.
She dropped that fucking bomb she was going to take to the grave
because they fucked me and her over.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
They fucked over you.
Then she said, by the way.
Yeah, yeah.
Wow.
She's like, all right, you want to play this game?
You've got...
Carol's a bad lady, huh?
She sucks, dude?
Yeah, Carol does suck.
I'm not on Carol.
side anymore. Yeah. That sucks. But Bill, you got to put some blame on Bill too, though. It's like,
how do you go? Like, what's, what's Carol got going on that she goes, you never have to,
you never can talk to your family again. I've seen her naked. She doesn't have it going on.
What's Bill got going on? Whoops. I, you know, I got, you know, listen, I got some attractive cousins.
And I, I don't see them that often. So there was a time in my life where, yeah, probably would.
Do you think if your cousins are attractive, if you don't see him, the longer you go without seeing each other, the more normal it makes it to be attracted to them?
Yeah, I think so.
Thank God.
Right, because if you grow up side by side with them and you're always hanging out, you know you're related.
Like a stepbrother, for example, that would be really weird.
Well, even step, though, you're not blood related.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I had sex with my stepbrother.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
I would kill a man to have sex with my cousin Holly.
How is it, how old were you guys?
I don't, I mean, I don't know, maybe that's too.
I was 19, he was
25. So you guys were out of the house.
Out of the house.
Yeah.
But their relationship was groomed in the house.
Yeah.
Well, I was very attracted to him as a fat child.
And then you lost weight.
Yeah.
And then your brother was like, let's do it.
Yeah.
He's like, you've reached the weight requirement to ride this right.
Yeah.
You're in town for Christmas, huh?
It was Christmas.
Yeah.
It was Christmas
He took off some weight this year
Yeah, ho, ho, ho, I'm to ho.
How's the boys in I'm in getting this hole, ho, ho.
Come on, slant her, ride this fat-ass laid a town.
It was good.
It was sibling-y sex, though.
Yeah.
Make your nose red Rudolph for me.
What does that mean?
She said it was sibling-y sex.
Sibley, like it was a high-five at the end.
Did you bro?
No kissing.
Oh.
I've high-fived at the end.
No kissing. You guys just banged.
Yeah, definitely no kissing.
Really? That's weird.
I know. I've done that a few times.
I'm kind of into that.
You could bang with no kissing?
Yeah.
Someone that's like a brother?
Not.

From behind, Dusty, from behind.
From behind?
He just kind of came up on you.
You're right.
He came up on you.
You're just opening gifts.
You just heard, peltz.
I went this one from my stepbrother.
He's like, I think he got another one
under the tree there, Jordan.
Yeah.
You know, you lay down, you're watching something.
Okay.
What?
What were you watching?
I don't know.
Do the parents know?
Yeah.
Now they do.
At the time they knew?
My mom did know.
And my mom was very...
She was like, you aren't going to do that.
And I was like, I'm not.
She knew I was.
And then at the dinner, and then at some point, his mom was like, do you guys mind sharing a room?
And you were like, thank God.
Dude, the whole...
You think his mom was trying to hook it out?
No.
The hookup on like, oh, I guess we do have to share a room is so hot.
Yeah.
Have you ever had sex with somebody where their parent is in the room?
No.
That's the hottest thing you can do.
I've blown a guy while two of our classmates were in the bed next to ours.
On a school trip.
Did you want to, though, Ian?
Yeah.
You did?
So badly.
But classmates, I mean, that's, you know, that's something.
But a parent.
Yeah, I've done that.
That's stuck.
Wait, I think, is it your, was it your parent or?
His, his.
I think if you're the guy.
Did he do while his parent was in the room?
His dad was slumbering.
His dad was slumbering.
It's one thing.
Well, we know you wouldn't wake him up with kissing noises.
If the girl and it's my parent, that's so scary.
Yeah.
But wouldn't it be scary for you if your dad was in the thing?
Oh, no.
I mean, it'd be weird and I wouldn't want him to wake up.
Wait, why is it scarier, though?
I just think because it's like, you know, because once you cross that barrier, it's like, well, what's next?
This is kind of a weird boundary.
It's like, oh, you're getting laid, you know.
He may not have that reaction.
But you don't have the same feeling I do as to my dad,
which would be like it's perverted.
But if it's like if it's your dad in the room,
then it just feels like the guy.
What if your mom was in the room?
I'm lost.
I'm not into any of these scenarios.
Yeah, yeah, I totally get that.
To be clear, you're not in.
You know, it's funny, my dad was cremated
and his urn was in my room.
So I kind of had sex.
Creamed right.
Oh, yeah.
Cream is a joke.
Yeah, I'm kind of lost.
You started, you were like,
what if the mom's in the room,
but the daddy doesn't know?
What if your mom was in the room while you were having sex?
This sounds like a math problem for incest.
I went to, I was dating a girl.
We went to her dad's house for Thanksgiving and we hooked up at the house.
Stalker like a turkey.
Yes.
And, uh,
but I was like, it was exciting.
But it was like, if I get caught, I feel like he's going to kick me out of the house.
Oh, you're saying for the man, it's different than for a woman.
Yes, totally.
Right.
But if it was my dad and I was hooking up with a.
girl that I brought home, you know, he's maybe like,
you'd break your shoulder from him, high-fiving you so hard.
Right.
Yeah, I don't think.
If anything, I was like, maybe the dad will wake up and be like, into it, which
would be- And try to join in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then you find out the him and the son have been sharing a lot.
Yeah.
See?
Yeah.
What?
I think alike.
Wow.
But it wasn't wild.
You know, it would be a bad scenario.
Yeah, really bad.
Yeah.
Bad, bad, bad, bad.
Really bad.
Nobody would want to be.
that nobody would want that the whole doing it when you're not supposed to think is like hot
it was for a while now no no no i mean i had sex in the woods like a year ago and i was i just
got bug bites on my butt it just wasn't as fun as it used to be you were laying on the ground no
there was a tree and it was just like why don't we go to a bed i have an apartment i pay for you know
yeah wait hey yeah was it a wedding wet heat wet heat wet heat wet heat
Well, wet heat.
I have a special on Netflix called wet heat.
Yes, great segue.
And so you only get those bugs when it's a wet heat.
If you were in a dry heat, you wouldn't have them.
Nashville, wet heat.
Well, she's on Prozac, so there's a lot of dry heat down there.
But the dry air not going to help you.
No.
No.
But you can perform in public like that.
It wasn't public.
It was like in the woods.
We're at in the woods.
Like, yeah, how far in?
Queens.
It was Queens.
It wasn't that deep in.
There were people.
Or I don't know.
What woods are in Queens?
Like Forest Hill.
Would you see a pigeon?
You're like, we're in the woods.
Fuck me.
What are you talking about?
That's crazy.
Oh, I saw a tree waiting for the seven.
We're in the woods.
You're right.
It was a tree.
It was a tree in Queens.
It was a tree in Queens.
Yeah.
I don't know.
That's awesome.
Yeah.

Cannot.

Nicotine.
Oh, yeah, I like that.
Yeah, dude.
The cinnamon flavor is amazing.
Let's bring toothpicks back.
There should be more guys walking around with toothpicks in their mouth.
I think he might be getting a toothpick
Yeah
Yeah
They should be more of that
Yeah
You don't see that
You remember the
There was a movie with
Sylvester Stallone
Where he walked around
With a match in his mouth
The whole time
Oh yeah
What was that?
Maybe he's called Cobra or something
And that was to not smoke
I don't know
And at the very end of the movie
He likes the match
And I think kills the bad guy that way
That's cool
Yeah
I gotta go back and watch movies
Sylvester Stallone had the best
The best action movies
he was the
what I just watched Rocky
on the airplane
oh the first Rocky
it's really good
is the best movie ever made
the weird girl in the pet store
that he wears down
yeah that seems weird
yeah that was weird
yeah
yeah he really wears her down
and
I'm bringing toothpicks back
yeah
we can just do ads
we don't have to do this
but I will take one
my uncle
always had a toothpick in
I'm gonna take one to go
my dad had a toothpick
when you try to quit smoking.
Good, right?
It is good.
It feels good.
Can you do it, flip it over?
Oh, the long way.
It's hard to, oh, Uncle Buck had a scene.
Remember that movie?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was very reminiscent of, you'll never fuck with the Jesus.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, the original.
Jesus is like pal in an alternate.
That is true.
Who's pal and Uncle Buck?
They went to the Bowlin alley.
Oh, yeah.
And then the teenage girl is.
Kid on, but, yeah.
Dude, John Candy, one of the best of all time.
That was his best movie, I think.
I really think it was his best.
And Uncle Buck just kind of gets listed as some kind of comedy, but it was a great movie.
Yeah.
Incredible movie.
John Candy's the best.
Yeah.
He is the best.
He's great.
He's a warm, warm man.
It's real sad.
There was a, there was a, I think a documentary or something with Steve Martin, and he got
choked up still talking about John Candy.
Yeah.
And I think that's so beautiful to have such.
a long-lasting memory within your
friends and the people in your life, heart attack.
From fat.
Maybe fat, cocaine.
COVID.
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Yeah.
Probably.
Yeah.
I hope not.
Let's not put that out there.
I mean, his name was candy.
Oh, I thought he was.
Huh?
I thought he was.
I thought he was a bit of a boozer and a...
Really?
He probably, he was probably so much fun on Coke.
Could you imagine?
They called him John Nose candy.
Yeah, yeah.
I just did that joke.
But you didn't say nose candy.
Yeah, but I was,
It was inside.
I knock them down.
I knock them down and then you stomp on them.
And then I set it up for us to knock it down.
You got to keep setting it up.
Keep knocking it down.
Yeah.
Don't let a good joke die.
Keep tagging it up.
Tag it up.
I wouldn't call that a tag.
I would call it a reiteration redundancy almost.
You're working it out.
Yeah.
You're really working out the joke.
Okay.
Here on the pod and they take that to the stage.
I still don't know if I agree with that as what that was, but I hear you.
Next time you're at you go, you start doing that joke.
John nose candy because he's doing a lot of Coke.
Well, you said candy in terms of like he was fat and he liked candy.
No, I meant nose candy.
I took it nose candy for Coke once I found out he liked Coke.
You could go any dirt, you know, John candy bars if you want.
Yeah, but he said Coke and I said his last name was candy.
Of course he did Coke.
I was implying the nose candy.
You know what I mean?
I may not be current on all the information that's coming into my brain.
And I may have thought that your candy was a reference to his food.
No.
And I would not intentionally steal.
But if we could go back to the clip.
We'll go back and they'll see that it's clearly a reference to Coke.
You know, the clown and Uncle Buck was the bad guy and dumb and dummy.
I think either way, really?
He elevated the joke.
I think so.
Yeah.
Sure.
No.
No.
Sure.
I think we should try it.
Let's take it to the stage.
Okay.
Let's try it.
Oh.
John knows candy.
John Candy more like John knows candy
Yeah
Because he knows all about candy
Right
It's a different angle
We could take with it
Knows candy
Yeah
Bars. Yeah
Yeah
It's a whole sentence we're right
This is good
John knows candy

Candy E Clairs
He got E Clairs a lot
Because he was fat
Yes
and
Clares was his favorite jewelry store
for young teens.
Because he was a pete-
No, no, don't tell that about John Candy.
We can't start that.
He wasn't John, come to my van,
I had candy.
I don't mind if John Candy's
doing a little Coke here and there,
but I don't want any accusations of that.
Actually, let's persmurch.
Steve Martin, come on the pond
and talk to us about.
John Candy's a sweet, sweet man.
He had none of the evil in him.
When people die, you go, they had a little evil in them.
They were famous.
He didn't have the evil.
I don't think so either.
There is a story that people talk about about him helping, like the crew load in some stuff one time.
Yes.
But they say it like, oh, it's just so nice.
And I'm like, yeah, I mean, that's just kind of a normal thing.
Yeah.
Also, I'm like, I don't want to help the crew load in things.
And I'm not even John Candy famous.
But I don't, like I used to do improv at this place.
And then they would, at the end of the night, they would want us to all help take out the trash.
And I would go, not while the audience is still.
here. That's a good point. When the audience
is gone, I'll help you take out the trash. But I'm not
performing for people and then
they see me carry trash cans. As a performer,
I will help when I want to help.
Yes. Don't be like we need the
performers to do this. No, no.
I will help. I'll be
gladly to help. But let me trick myself
I abuse every luxury I'm given.
Yeah. And this is why... I mean,
it's just crazy. Like, if my
rider isn't there, which is blueberries, I mean,
you should see, I'm like, where's the blueberries?
I don't throw a fit, but I do think. Oh,
I do think that poor people should stay poor and rich people should stay rich.
Because when you go from poor to rich, you are maniacal.
You are maniacical.
I'm maniacal.
Yeah.
You got to cool it on that.
You do see it sometimes when people make a little money and then they go.
I'm like that.
Yeah, they get it.
I don't know what I'm like.
I'm not.
I've heard.
You have not.
I give so much money to the staff, but I do not like.
You give a lot of money to the staff?
Yeah.
Yeah, but I heard that that kind of money doesn't.
make up for the behavior you put people.
But it's fine. You're making it up.
No, no, it's fine. You know what I'm saying?
When I'm self-deprecating, that doesn't mean you pile on with your made-up bullshit, okay?
You go with the joke. You do not pile on and you're illegal.
I'm making it up. You are making it up. Like, for example, one time I called my manager and I was like,
I need this toilet seat cleaned before I get in there because there was dark piss on it every night.
I will do that. Wait. At the club? But how many toilet seats have I cleaned in my life for a job?
millions. Wait, wait, wait. There was a bathroom at the club and you called your manager to tell
them to get the club to clean up. There was dark piss on the toilet seat every night. So why didn't you
just ask someone like fresh? Because because I have a little bit of money now and I've become a
tyrant. Well, let me ask you that. I don't want to ask how much money you're given. But when you
see you give a lot of money to the staff, I just want to know how that's working. What do you,
because I'm always worried that I'm going to leave and people think I'm cheap. Uh, I've heard that.
Yeah. It depends on.
A lot of people have said that.
Old dusty pockets.
I'll be like,
so I want, you know,
I'm just wondering like when you say I give a lot of money
I'll give a bunch to the server who's serving me, right?
Like 100 a night.
And then however many nights I'm there.
And then I'll be like, take 500 off and give it to people.
Get out of here.
No, you don't.
Yes, I do.
What do you mean?
Why not?
You do?
Yeah.
It still does an excuse
If everybody's doing that, people are saying I'm cheap
Nobody's doing that, I'm an asshole
So you're doing it like an indulgence
Oh, see, I'm very nice
To pay up
I don't like
Oh, see, I'm very nice
So I think they don't
I'm not an asshole, but I am like, I need the blueberry
They're like difficult
We're paying our rent in Dusty's kindness
Yeah, I've heard that
Yeah
I heard that
Your landlord's pissed
You're nice to everybody
You talk to each and every staff
You know I don't talk to every
But I don't like if they talk to me
I talk to them
Yeah of course
Wave to people and say
I have a dog that comes in there
I'm sure that's not a burden
That's what I'm saying
It is a burden
I
You know what I mean
I'm being like can you bring carrots for my dog
No are you for real
Dude come on
Don't do that
Oh yeah
Don't do that
What do you mean
It's her special day
No it's not nice to do that
you bring the carrots it's your dog
I eat some of the carrots
so that you should bring them your own
I give them money at the end of the night
because I've asked for the carrots
you think it's okay to ask for carrots
They usually have carrots on them
because they got wings
I don't make them go get them I say do you guys have carrots
if they say yes I go can I have some
and then I feed them to my dog
No it's not in my rider I need carrots
Oh if you were making them get dog food
That would be harder to
No
Yeah because it'd have to
I did ask the club last week
And I was like, can anybody get me some Zins?
Oh, yeah.
I went to, I opened for John Lovitz and John Lovitz has a dog.
And we went, we actually had a good time.
But I, we went to eat after the show, two nights in a row.
And it was me and the club manager and John Lovitz and his dog at a booth.
And he would order his dog a little bowl of chicken.
Crazy.
Oh, we all ate and we all sat at the boot.
The four of us set at the booth.
And the dog sat there like a human.
That is how I am.
That is how I am.
Crazy behavior.
I have so many.
pictures of Coyote sitting at the booth with.
There's nothing that makes me laugh harder
than a dog or a cat sitting at
like a family dinner table being like
this meal displeases me.
Just like I am
not satisfied with what is before me.
What kind of dog does he have?
It's a small one. I don't know.
I tell you a hilarious John Lovett story.
I was headlined in Pittsburgh Improv. I was doing
late shows. He was doing the early shows. It was like a split
weekend. Great club.
He is one of my favorites in the country.
Shout out. Pittsburgh Improv.
John Lovitz.
Not a fan.
We hung out outside of there one time.
Well, you...
Uh-uh.
Yeah.
You had a bad experience with an audience.
Oh, you were doing the improv.
I was doing...
I did the Pittsburgh improv and I got assaulted.
You didn't get assaulted.
You got yelled at.
I got yelled out.
And assault is different than yelling.
So...
I didn't like it.
You had a poor experience with an audience member,
but that's not reflective of the club.
They didn't kick him out.
He was screaming at me about trans people.
And he had a trans date who loved me.
Well...
Transstate stayed.
then everything worked out the way it was supposed to
and that's not reflective of the clothes.
No, because it was one of those situations
where like a teacher yells at you
and you get really mad back
and then later you cry.
You don't have a code word
to tell the staff to take people out.
I say I wish that you weren't here.
My code word is they need a glass of milk.
Oh, yeah, I like that.
Have you ever used it?
No, I should have one time.
Do you have a code word?
No, I just go.
Please remove them.
I've actually said,
you kick this guy out.
It's not happening very many times.
You're just like dancing and you're like, no, I'm an adult.
The guy was just would not stop and it was ruining the show.
I was like, if you were fun and I could joke around with you, then it would be fun, but
you're not being fun.
Yeah.
You're just ruining the show.
Just relentless.
So eventually I had to be like, will you kick this guy out?
Yeah.
And then they did and the show was great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did everybody clap?
That's what I hate.
Whenever he claps is they leave.
I don't know that they did because I don't.
think that they thought the show could be good until he was gone.
Oh, gotcha.
And then the show started to be really good.
There's a collective energy that goes on that people can't pick up on.
Yeah, they thought that I was just being bad at comedy.
It's so weird how one person's attitude and demeanor can permeate an entire crowd of people.
And it's not like people are deciding.
It's just, it's weird, man.
It's like contagious.
You got to get that cancer around.
You ever have a fainter?
Oh, yeah.
I've had a couple of people fainted.
I had a blind guy get carried out the other night in Indianapolis.
I want to know the John Lovett story.
Oh, yeah.
Pittsburgh Improv.
He's doing the early shows.
You're doing the late shows?
Yes, he's doing early shows.
I'm doing late shows.
My shows are sold out.
He is taking after the show, striking where his piano is going to go on for the next night.
But he's taking his time.
And my show, it was supposed to start at 915.
He did not start until, I'd say maybe 10.
Like they started loading it was wintertime people were lined up in the cold and I'm like this is fucking insane
This is so disrespectful and so fucking rude. I don't give a fuck who he is
I'm going in the green room and I'm telling him like hey man this is like really rude and you're making people wait
And I go in the green room and he walks in I go hey man he goes hello
And I go hey John I'm a really big fan
That's awesome
And I go, hi John, I'm Ian.
I'm a really big fan.
He goes, Ian, I thought you said you were a big fan.
And I was like, I love you.
And then he watched my set.
And the next night in the green room, he goes, so you're bisexual.
Does that mean you pay for sex?
And I said, yeah.
And it's turning me into a debt sexual.
And he goes, that's good.
And I was like, oh, I can die happy now.
I love you.
Yeah.
Dude, I was stumped.
I'm going to give him a piece of my mind.
Hello.
He's great.
I did a few weekends with him.
The first time I worked with him, I was doing a full weekend, Thursday night.
I don't know what happened.
He bombed.
The audience hated him.
The audience was coming out.
They were like, you should have been the headliner.
Oh, God.
Well, you wouldn't have come at that time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then the next five shows, he got standing ovation.
No way.
So I don't know what happened on that one weird show.
Did he deliver it the same?
Was he drunk?
Was he?
I don't know.
What made him get the standing ovation?
Well, he does.
He used to do this long song.
I don't know what he does now,
but he used to do a long.
Song, right?
Medley of songs about how Bob Sagitt's gay.
Oh, right.
And then Bob Sagitt died.
So I don't know what he did.
Yeah.
But, you know, people love it.
It's just a long,
he just does a bunch of different.
you know, hey Jude, he goes, gay Bob.
Maybe they thought it was disrespectful about Bob Sagint,
and that's why they hated him.
Oh, maybe.
Was Bob dead?
He was alive at the time.
Yeah.
He's beloved.
Yeah.
Maybe.
But just all the Thursday people?
That's the vibe thing.
Yeah.
That's the vibe.
In Lexington, Kentucky, I don't, that's where it was.
I don't even know that.
They can read about Bob's second.
I love Lexington.
That's funny.
Great town.
Shout out.
So your special wet heat is out now on Netflix.
What is it? What is it?
Tell us about it.
Well, you know, well, it's, I said, what is it comprised of?
Well, it's, um, I said, what is it comprised of?
It's, uh, well, you know, it's, uh, I got working man out there that came out a year
and a half ago. And it's, you know, it's that, but new jokes.
Great.
And, you know, and it's like, I'm sold.
It's a weird way to describe it, right?
But it's like, working man did very.
very well. People liked it. So it's like, it's, you know, I'm just doing more jokes. I think it's
better. I think it's funnier. Why? Well, because I had 30 minutes of that when I recorded
Working Man. Yeah. So I had an hour and a half. So I had 30 minutes. So I just created another 30
30 minutes. And then it got so tight. I was ready to record the thing months before. Let's go.
But I kept tightening. I got a lot of callbacks. I got some improv moments in the special.
I thought of some jokes on the spot that ended up being great.
I love that.
I saw you run your special or your set for Tonight Show.
Oh, yeah.
A while back.
And it was very funny.
But then to watch you actually do it and have like a different job that I always love when when I see the final product and there's something like new that they, you didn't see before.
I think that's my favorite joke.
What?
This is your deal joke.
What is it?
Oh, it's about buying some DVDs at a flea.
market just joel jordan you do the joke as dusty the joke coming to the stage justy
slay isn't there a girl actually named justy justy dodge yeah but you're jordan dusty
what what is the deal though it's two two for two for shit three DVDs for five dollars justy
what three DVDs for five dollars is what it is so i you wanted to get four for ten i wanted to get
six yeah three for five six for ten yeah she rang it up
And she's like, that'll, you know, that'll be, I don't know.
She started doing math noises, like she was like, ah, and he does a whole act out of her.
And then he goes, this is your deal.
Yeah, I go, I go three for five, you know, six for ten.
And she goes, well, I guess.
And it's like, nah, this is your deal.
Yeah.
I'm just doing your thing.
I'm not bargaining with it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love that joke.
I love that joke because it's just him telling the story.
And it's so funny.
Yeah, that was my first Tonight Show.
And that did very well for me.
Yeah.
But yeah, you know, when I saw you at the comedy seller, it's like, I don't do that room a lot, right?
So that room makes me very nervous.
I don't get nervous a lot.
And doing the seller makes me nervous.
Yeah.
And two times ago, I just put out my working man special.
And so the guy bringing me up goes, and Dave Chappelle had just put out a special.
Yeah.
And so they go, all right, next comic.
We got a special guest.
drop in. He just put out a Netflix special. Give it up for Dusty Slay. And it felt like the air
left the road. Oh, yeah. And I think I bombed for three minutes. By the end, I got them.
So they were on board. So this last time I go, just say from Nashville. Don't say anything else.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just say from Nashville. Yeah. Yeah. This next comic, there was a comedy club.
He just opened up in Ohio. Yeah. Yeah. I almost.
Which is near Nashville, where this comic is from.
Yeah, yeah.
I almost want him to go.
This guy sucks.
I don't know how he got on the show.
Yeah, here he is.
This guy's got a gun.
Yeah, yeah.
He's been in the back pacing.
I hate going up last at the seller.
Please.
I go up there and I immediately apologize every time.
I'm like, I'm sorry.
You were hoping certainly for a famous person and definitely for a man.
And I'm really sorry that I'm here right now.
I would be mad.
If I do last on a showcase, I like to go, I'm just here to get you ready for bed.
You know, we don't want to leave you too fired up.
I'm just trying to settle you down.
That's fun.
Get ready for the car.
I got to think of something fun to say.
Yeah.
I know you're here.
But now I am.
My name's Ian.
Get ready.
Hey, y'all.
I guess the idea is that you just would be confident in yourself to crush at the end.
But somehow I'm like, no, I don't.
That's why I haven't thought of any of your little tricks that you guys pull.
You have to acknowledge it.
You blue choose and you're like, I'm good to go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here's a trick.
Yeah. Next six hours, I'm good.
You don't take three.
No, I had them in my pocket.
I will say sometimes if you take one and you don't get to step in soon, it goes away and you kind of feel like you have a ghost penis.
Like your penis doesn't exist.
Kind of like edibles.
If it didn't kick in right away, do another.
Double up.
Yeah, yeah.
So then you're going to take another.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So then you also, with the edibles, feel like you have a ghost penis.
Hello!
Wait, why do you
feel like a ghost be this?
Because it's like you didn't get,
you didn't use it so then it's like
extra not going to work.
Okay.
It's mad at you.
It's mad.
He's not working and he's not collecting unemployment.
He's not putting in any resumes anywhere either.
I was promised sex here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's just me in a bathroom going,
I promise, buddy. Give me time.
Give me time.
Okay, you put out, you put this special out,
you recorded it in Chattanooga.
Yes.
And how long after this is your, from the other one?
It's about a year and a half since the last one.
That's good. That's fast.
I feel good. I got a new hour now. I'm on tour.
I got a new hour from that. I'm ready to go.
When did you record this?
In, I don't know, February maybe.
Matt would know that info more than.
You should call the one there.
this wet heat too. I should
the wetter, the better. Wet heat too does sound good.
Yeah, you know, make it a sequel. Keep it going.
Yeah. That is cool.
Wet heat too. Mm-hmm.
Wetter the better. Yeah.
A wetter heat. Whoa.
A hotter wet. A hotter wet.
Dusty gave me all of my advice on stand-up every step of the way he told me what to do.
Yes. Oh, that's so nice. He told me all of the open mics to go to.
He told me how to sell merch. He told me how to reach out to bookers.
Really? Yes. That's so nice.
Look at how it's going.
I know.
But, you know, I did tell you one time.
No one told me anything and my aunt stole money from me.
Yeah.
You asked me about doing a special and you were like, I want to do it in one take.
And I said, I think that's a great idea.
And then you did, you know, and probably wasn't the best.
It would have been better than what I did.
If it wasn't for those kids.
It would have been better than what I did.
Wait, what are you talking about?
I mean, I do two takes 30 minutes.
But I like the idea.
You did two sets.
I know.
But if I had done one take and put it out myself,
it would have been better than the unholy mashup
that is the 30-minute gas digital half hour.
Oh.
You know what I mean?
I like the idea of one tag
because you're like, this is, now I do too.
Yeah.
But I like the idea of a raw, like here we are.
Yeah.
We're doing a show.
I wish I had done that.
Josh Johnson is releasing like a new hour every week
on like one specific topic.
It's like crazy.
Yeah.
I think I'm going to just release
a fucking 20 minute thing
every week. Yeah. If you're doing five shows
just straight. He's getting like a million
views every time. Yeah.
It's just content. Yeah.
It's just so much content. It's just so much content. I just don't know
that I would want to put an audience through a new
hour for me every week.
I just, my, the whole reason I love comedy is because I
chisel jokes out of marble for so long. And then I present
them and I'm like, look, I made this over the course of a long time to just
throw it out and be like, look, I wrote this last night.
It's like, it's cool that you did that, but it doesn't have the same.
I mean, I'm sure he's doing it much better than I would.
But if I put out a new hour every week, it would not get millions of years.
Yeah, and let me tell you, I've been watching them.
They're not that good.
And on the show now, we have Josh Johnson.
No, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I set that up for the Josh Johnson show.
I have not watched them, but my mom has impeccable taste and she really loves Josh.
Really?
Yeah.
I think he is prolific.
I think he has that type of brain, totally.
But it's not the way my brain merges.
Mine is scrambled eggs with like a little bit of bacon in it.
And I have to collect all the bacon out of the eggs and then make a pork.
Mine is more, let's put all the ingredients in one thing.
Yeah, everything bagel style.
Eat it and then whatever.
It's all shit in the end.
Who cares?
Yeah, when I saw you at the cellar that time, you had a wild set, but it did really well.
I mean, you crushed.
Oh, you're very sweet.
Thank you.
Well, you know, it's, yeah, I mean, it's, you really get in there.
Yeah.
Really leave it all on the line.
Yeah.
I like it.
That's my favorite part of stand-up.
It's not comedy like I do at all, but I like it.
I like to see people.
Like, Neil Hamburger is one of my favorites.
I just, it's so weird and it's just like.
Who's Neil Hamburger?
I don't think he puts out a ton of stuff.
But he's like, he was one of the first, like, alt.
Yeah, there's a, it's an album called Hot February Night.
And it's, uh, he's open.
for Tenacious D.
It's so good.
And it's just weird.
I always tell people to look him up.
Watch a video first.
You know what he looks like.
You see his manner.
Okay.
And then listen to the album.
It's like this weird, all-indy anti-comedy.
Like, it was, it was like everyone that was too smart for the room, it was his favorite
comic.
It's, I love it so much.
What do you feel about Bo Burnham?
Bo Burnham, I like.
I like him a lot.
Yeah.
I think Bo Burnham, the way you feel about Neil Humberger, I feel about it.
Bo Burnham.
Well, it's two different things.
When he goes underground and then just emerges with something incredible, it's crazy.
It's crazy.
And like his singing and like, it's so on point.
I love country music, but that pandering song that he does on an album, that's so good.
Yeah.
Did you ever see the Paul Provinso, Green Room with Paul Provinzo with him and a couple of the comics?
And he's kind of like the younger guy.
And it's like all these older comics.
I think I saw some clips from that.
Why don't you do one of your little songs?
Oh, yeah.
And he just goes into it and levels the room.
And all the comics that were there that were kind of skeptical, they were like, this is amazing.
Yeah.
And it was so cool to see them get on board and him win them over in that moment.
I thought that was great.
Yeah, I remember watching him on YouTube, new math.
Yeah.
New math, like a tampon string or like a tampon I had to pull some strings.
Remember that in his little, in his bedroom?
My parents think I'm gay or something like that.
Yeah, he was, he is a prodigy.
I think he's very tortured.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want to give him a hug.
I don't think he'd like that.
What if I wore a costume?
Now we're talking.
Now we're talking.
Yeah, he's great.
Dusty's great.
We have to wrap it up.
Yeah, Dusty's fantastic.
I appreciate you having me.
This is very nice.
You're very wonderful and fun.
Wet heat is out now on Netflix.
No, Netflix.
Woo!
Sounds like where a wet heat would be.
Yes.
Yeah.
Where could people see you?
give some road dates.
Why is it wet heat?
Oh, it's, you know, well, I like the,
I like the name because you don't really know what it is.
It sounds like, yeah, like a late night TV show
where there's a little sex, a little later,
or like a buddy cop film in Miami.
Yeah, he too.
But it's basically a weather joke.
That's great.
Yeah.
Because I live in the South.
It's basically humid.
Yes.
Yeah.
And then you go out to Denver or, no, you go out to Phoenix and they're like,
yeah, but it's a dry heat.
And they're not.
like act like their heat's better than mine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I go, I like a wet heat.
Is that a little bit of a preview of what we're going to see if we see wet heat?
Because if so, I'm watching.
It is.
But it's a hot special.
It's good.
I mean, I'm like joke heavy.
I'm all about the jokes.
There's no filler in there.
I'm not wasting time.
All killer.
No filler.
A lot of callbacks.
Complete thing.
Feels good.
Awesome.
I got a country music song breakdown.
Hardworking man by Brooks and Dun.
Yes.
I want to break down
Tim McGrath's
What's this song that's like
Um
Don't know what
Somebody asked me today
About a Tim McGraw song called
Don't Take the Girl
Telling me I should break that one down
Because it's like perverse
You break down
You break down it's 5 o'clock
It's 5 o'clock somewhere
And a couple Travis
No what's the song he's like
I'm an Indian outlaw, my own, chuketal.
That's what it's called.
Yeah.
There's a lot of that.
Jim Morrison did that too.
Dude, Jim McRall just assumes the identity of Native America.
People do that.
I'm an Indian outlaw, half Cherokee and Chalktoe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My baby, Chippewa.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My baby, Chippewa.
Yeah.
All my friends call McBearclaw.
Yeah.
Dillets Chiefs and is my pawpaw.
Pick a tall.
I like it.
That's been a little while.
I like it.
Dude, driving through Oklahoma, blasted that song.
It's a song I bet Tim McGrath's not doing on tour these days.
Yeah.
