Bussin' With The Boys - Nate Bargatze On Going From Tire Recycler To Touring With Chris Rock

Episode Date: August 8, 2023

Recorded: July 17th 2023 | In this weeks intro, it's just the boy Taylor as Will is enjoying his time in Italy. Taylor gets into a tragedy that happened at the Lewan household and that Beer Olympics has dropped. We also hit everyone favorite segments Shoutout no free shoutout and Pet Peeve of the week along with a fun Tier Talk that you'll have to listen to find out. Following the intro, the boys have one of the boys and Nashville comedian, Nate Bargatze. The boys get right into some of Nate’s old jobs that he had when he was a kid. One of the jobs that he hated actually made it onto an episode of Dirty Jobs. Then the boys get into how Nate started his comedy career. Instead of moving straight to New York from Nashville, he did a little time in Chicago before he finally decided to make the move to New York. Nate talks about the New York comedy scene and how crazy/overwhelming it can be as there are thousands of comedians trying to make it. He says fighting your way through the different types of comedy is how you really become good and is how you find your style/voice. Nate gets into some comedians he had a little bit of a run in with but has since ironed things out with. He tells the story of Louis CK publicly embarrassing him at a show and making fun of one of the jokes Nate told during his set. However, Nate says he was able to make sense of it all because at the time he had only been in comedy for 5 years. Nate talks about the different advice he gives to younger comedians which is interesting to hear. The boys end the pod talking about why Nate decided to be a clean comedian, why he decided to stop drinking and how good Scientology is at recruiting people. Nate is really just one of the guys and tells some really good stories throughout the episode that you won’t want to miss.

2.35. Lots to talk about, but you know what? I am a little tired. I'll get into that in a second right after this ad read about how my night went last night because this is not only a podcast for the boys. by the boys, but it is also my own therapeutic session. Therapy session that I need to vent in on a daily basis. If I could just get that ad read up, I swear to God I'll read it.

Just need that thing to be popped up. Summer is here. What better way to take advantage of all it has to offer them with the Chevy Silverado. Silverado Summer, think of all the possibilities from off-the-road adventures to DIY projects and hardcore work. Silverado has a capability and technology to make this summer the best one ever. With nine different Silverado model to choose from the engines that rain, and engines that range from a powerful

turbo max to a 6.2 liter V8 and the DuraMax Fasel. You can count on Chevy power and performance to get anything done. Like many of you, we've been hitting the road a lot lately and it seems like everywhere we go.

There's an army of Silverado and Silverado owners. So shout out to all of you, game recognized game. Head over to Chevy.com and check out Silverado and all the Chevy trucks, the official truck,

a bus with the boys. Hey, how nice is it when we do call an Uber and it is a Chevy, Silverado. There's nothing better. It makes the vlogs go a whole lot better because we know what we kind of have to do on the back end. Can't be shown those other vehicles

but we're in our drive. Those big conversations like from New York to Vegas when I was really putting my place in the best way possible, I grew as a man during that and if we weren't in a Chevy we might not been able

to capture those kind of moments. So that is extremely special and the guys who drive the Chevy's dude. They just kind of, you can tell you feel a little safer. The tires grip a little bit better. The suspension's a little bit better. You can just, You know you're going to get from point to point B with safety style and comfort.

But listen, I'm a little exhausted today. There was a tragedy in the Luan household. Last night, my kids and I, we do chorn every single night. My daughter, my oldest daughter, when she goes, she gets the eggs from the chickens. I'll tell you what. Hey, I want to talk about that, too, because there was a fucking deal last week right during the UFC fight. So I'm actually glad you guys didn't come over for it. We'll pocket in that too.

This might be a little event session for me today. I go to, I go tron with my kids. We got bunnies. We got chickens. We got a singular duck. We got goats and we got a great Pyrenees to watch our goats. And every day we go and we do the chorn together because these kids need to no responsibilities. And if we're going to have all these animals, then obviously they're going to have to learn X, Y, and Z about these things to keep these little bastards alive. So we go, when hits the chickens like she always does, goes, picks out all the eggs, does an amazing job.

She has her little basket. That's incredible. Their favorite part is going to see the bunnies. Because part of the bunnies is they stay out there. They're cute and adorable. They bring nothing. But they're essentially loitering. my house. They don't really bring anything to the table. However, they love to hold them.

They love to pet them. And it is kind of an opportunity to make them a little more friendly when it comes to hand-to-hand combat with between a kid and a little tiny bunny. I go to open the door and I see our biggest bunny, Easter. There's three bunnies. There's Easter, Snickerdoodle, and Spot. Easter is kind of just laying there. I'm like, yo, that's weird. Easter's usually a little more pep in a step. He's a big bunny. He likes to rip around a little bit. And as soon as he hears the door opening, he likes to get outside because those kids can be a little messy with the whole deal. I open it up and I know right away. This bunny's dead as a fucking doorknob. This bunny has seen its last day. And I just think to myself, oh, fuck when my six-year-old is going

to see this and she's going to shit her pants. I go, oh, what's Easter doing over here? And she's like, grab him. I want to hold them. And I look at him and I, there's no way around it. I have to face my children and let him know that the good Lord took this bunny from us and is now hopefully in bunny heaven. I don't know this guy's backstory. I don't know what he's doing. I'm not around, but we're going to hope he's made it to heaven. My daughter takes a deep breath, stares at him and just starts to fucking lose it, man. She starts to cry and she's talking about how great of a bunny he was

and all the things he's done for our family and all this stuff. And I'm thinking, this bunny really didn't do that much, but I'm so glad that her heart is so pure and beautiful to where that she's looking at this bunny in such a beautiful light. I'm starting to remind her we've had two bunnies in the past, and Meatball and Jeff, they've passed away. and now they're probably, now Easter's probably with Meatball and Jeff now. And like, what a beautiful thing.

Because Jeff was Easter's brother. Like, they were boys. And last summer, Jeff found his demise, which actually hurt me probably the most. Jeff was my favorite bunny of the crew. I named him. And, uh, yes, Jack. I might have missed this. How did this most recent bunny pass?

Just natural causes? I don't know. He's only two years old. I have no idea. We're still, we're going to, we're going to send them in. We're going to send them in and we're going to figure out what happened to this poor bunny. Because bunnies, if you're looking up how long bunnies live, it's about eight years in captivity. I've already checked that because I thought, is that an old age for a bunny?

It wasn't. And this last week has been really hot outside. And that's how the last bunny went versus back hind legs went. And it was kind of a sad little deal to see him kind of dragging them legs around. That's a whole bit of a deal. This is a kid show. I'm not going to bring that into everything. But it was very sad.

Now Easter, as dorm, I'm stiff as a board. My daughter's losing her fucking mind. I did look into it. It was a cool day yesterday. It was kind of overcast, a little bit breezy. Like, it was a great day to be a bun, in the outside. So I have no idea how this bunny died. I got to look into it a little bit more. I'm consoling my daughter. I go, you want to build him a grave. Do you want to make him a grave?

And she's like sniffling. Yes. And I'm like, okay, yeah, we'll build him a grave, sweetie. Like, we're going to have a nice little eulogy for the bunny. It's 7.45 at this point. Like my kids, I start to put them down at 645. Right. They get themselves, they get an easy 12 hours of sleep every single day. That's kind of dad. I am because we have fucking a good little regiment going. But it's 745. So we're already hour past the bedtime. it is what it is. I start to dig into this fucking ground. Boys, I was with the shovel for 20 minutes. 20 goddamn minutes shoveling, trying to get in, literally jumping on top of the shovel

just to get it a little bit deeper. I got that motherfucker four inches deep. Max. Max, dude. And I think, hey, it's not going to, this is it. I'm going to come back later. I'm going to give the bunny the old fucking the catapult, send him on his way. send him flying in style. Like that's what doesn't have to happen to this poor damn bunny. But we got to look out

for the rest of the crew. We can't have predators rolling around. So we get like a stick and we put it down. That's out of his tombstone. And Wynn gives, by God, what a well-spoken six-year-old. Gives the most beautiful eulogy.

It almost brought a tear to my eye. And then the rest of the night until about 10, 11 o'clock at night was me essentially consoling her. My three-year-old is a psychopath. She looked at this bunny. She goes, is it dead? I said, yeah, it's dead.

And she goes, okay. and then kind of went about her merry business. We're going to have to unpack that later because that's a little scary. She's a suspect. She might be a suspect in this whole thing. She might be a suspect. It was kind of a, that was a weird deal,

but I feel like we'll definitely get to that later in life. I got to deal with this five-year-old who's losing her mind. She wants to call everybody. And this is the worst part. I had to grab the bunny, and I had to put the bunny in its shallow grave. And as I'm grabbing the bunny, like rigomortis has truly set in.

His eyes all squished on one side because the boy was laying on his right side when I picked him up. And I picked him up with the other eyes wide open. And seeing the eye wide open for my daughter gave her a glimmer of hope. And then so pain, like it was happiness to see the bunnies, horrible pain to see death of a bunny, glimmer of hope to see an eye open. Maybe he was tricking us the whole time to now we have to restart the whole sadness of everything.

That really kicked off the night for the Lawan household. My wife, God love her, she's in Italy having the time of her fucking life, ripping around, Italian boys probably salivating all over her. Good for her. We all need that. We all need a boost once in a while. You know, you go out when we go on spring football tour and there's, you know, one girl that's like, oh, yeah, you're, you know, handsome boy or whatever.

We've all gotten a compliment. And you're like, yeah, I fucking needed that. So good for her. I'm dealing with this at home. And it's a bit of a fucking deal. So that's how I feel. In a more positive light, JP, do you have something to say, brother? I was just going to say you talking about how shallow it was.

I feel like Wayne's going to be running around in the backyard. She'd like trip over the mouth. Dude. Okay. It's all tucked away where they don't really run. So that's one positive. But this morning it was, I want to see Easter.

I want to see Easter. It's already raining outside. And I know that a predator is probably dug down my throat. I haven't been out there. I haven't been to the site yet. You know, Willow's feet were a little muddy this morning, which makes me a little worried she was out there finishing the job on the other bunnies.

But fuck, dude. Like I literally was like, We can't see him right now because it's raining outside. Hey, praise Jesus. It was raining outside today. You know your boy doesn't like rain, but thank God, right? And so I'm thinking, that motherfucker is probably slip and slide around those properties somewhere. I'm going to have to go find his ass later.

Hopefully a bobcat or something can snatch him up for me to do the boy a favor. So that is a big fear. And a more positive light, nine minutes and 18 seconds into this podcast. The Beer Olympics has officially come out in the blog. Now, it did take over a month. but I would like the boys to give J.P. a round of applause for putting that thing together. That was, it was an art. I truly, brother, it's a 45 minute long video and I've watched it on four separate occasions.

And I genuinely laugh. I was there. But it's so fun to see the different dynamics, the confession corner, all of that. I get fucking mad. I get fucking angry as fuck seeing Kittle and DeForest Buckner. But sometimes you need those losses to put things into perspective and really get to jump yourself to the next thing. deal. Like we, Will and I got to get in the film room. We got to take the coaching the way we need to take it and get on the practice field and start a little early in the practice. I'm thinking

as soon as possible, when I get back from Canada, which I'm leaving for tomorrow, and he's already going to be back, we get in the, get in the lab a little bit and start working. One thing I didn't notice during the Olympics was him having a ping pong ball on his hand. That was crazy. That was wild. And I was texting with him yesterday about it, which would be Wednesday. This is Thursday. This podcast is coming out Tuesday. He, I was like, I genuinely don't believe you actually cheated on purpose. And he, via text, you can't read emotion, he really seemed like I wasn't cheating. And I have no choice but to believe that man. He's a man of character. He's a man of character. So for those of you who see that and think Will is scummy for it, I would do that. I will tell you right now,

you give me an inch, I'm going to take a mile when it comes to those kind of competitions. I'm going to do that. Will, not the individual. James Neal. dead to this family. Dead to us. He'll never be invited back to the house again. I see it. And it's just like a fresh room every single time I see him put his ass in my face

so I'm trying to pick up that ping pong ball. What a fucking time. Was there a special moment for you guys that maybe wasn't on film that you loved so much? Excuse me? The whole like you guys wrestling in the pool I thought was hilarious.

I loved that dude. But I mean we were all kind of sober dealing with a bunch of drunk people. Yeah, that had to be a fucking deal for you guys, huh? For sure. Yeah. Anybody else? You guys feel good about it?

Go ahead. No, no, you got it. This has had nothing to do with the beer Olympics, but it took place at it. The boys were obviously grinding all day. Didn't get to eat much, and at one point during the end of the day, me and Mitch went absolutely house on this

to-go thing of wings from Martins. And we're like, all right, we were just going to get like one or two. And like, no lie, we probably both took down like 12 wings and like 10 minutes. Yeah, just kept going one more, one more. And like, we're just walking on.

Yeah. And so for me, personally, that was a great moment in the day. So getting food during Burry Olympics was your best moment. Yeah. I get that. I get it. I wish we would have thought this out a little more, but we should give out some accolades. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, some superlatives. I'm going to have to Google superlatives later. Is that essentially the word for accolades? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Yeah. I'm super down with that. Is there something that comes to mind of VP? MVP to me, based off the footage, has got to be Defo. Really? Yeah, he crushed it every game. Dude, seeing him hit that shot glass and getting the slow-mo shot, who got that shot? Yeah, wasn't me.

Mitch? Nice work, dude. Because it was perfect. I watched that video before it came out with Nick Bennett and his father. And literally, he throws it on the ping pong ball and they hit and he takes a shot. And he's like, man, it would have been great if he had slow-mo. seriously cuts right to the slow-mo. I was like, fuck.

These boys are really fucking on top of it. Dude, yeah. I mean, dude, DeForest, like, that whole, all of the beerball games, he's not missing. And, like, they were getting screwed a lot with, like, how much was left in his thing. Yeah, there's got to be a rule on that for sure.

Gotta be a rule. We got to, we had to iron out some rules for sure. I was at Kittlefest a week after, two weeks after, and he's got a whole different way he plays beer ball where you literally have to, like, like, blow in the can, Make sure there's not one drop and hold it over your head for three seconds.

And if there's one drop, you have a whole new beer. I think that's a fucking, I like the way because it is truly a pure way of playing. However, with the tempo of the game and how long this beer Olympics took, that's not going to be a rule that's going to be put in place. Like, there just needs to be a little more leniency on how sloshy that can is at the end. I get it for the chug because the chug, you're supposed to consume the entire beer. But for the beer ball, it is definitely one of those things where it's like, get the beer down.

if there's a little bit left, it is what it is. But there needs to be some sort of measuring stick, which could be a beer cap, could be a shot glass, whatever. I thought it was really good. I thought the boys did a phenomenal job during that, dude. And it's been, I mean, we just looked at the numbers

a second ago, and that's awesome. But if you haven't seen it, go check it out. It is fucking awesome, man. And I also, one thing we should do is get two fans to come next year. We should have, we should do a raffle or something. and maybe put on an amateur event and invite 10 teams.

We're not in it. And we just, the winner of that event comes and plays a week later. A qualifier. How do we feel about that? Seems like a lot. Yeah, I mean, that would be tough because... You'd really tell you, you guys took...

It was a hard day's work. It was a hard day's work doing that. You'd be hosting two events and 10 teams, a lot of people to, like, bring out here. Yeah. Yeah, they wouldn't be at my house. We'd just go somewhere. We would just go to the old shed.

The old shed we were at behind the abandoned church. But yeah, dude, what a fucking time. What a time. Is there anything I'm missing before we hit some of these pet peeves or anything like that? Yeah, one thing that actually was a sponsor of Beer Olympics was Lucy. Have you ever heard of Lucy, by the way? Have you guys ever even heard of that? Lucy, nicotine gum pouches and breakers all had the same thing in common.

No tobacco, powerful nicotine, and delicious. flavors. Their breakers are next level nicotine pouches, which post up in your lip and chill there, releasing a sweet, sweet nicotine. Breakers have something that no other pouches do, a little capsule inside of each one. You get those little boys in there. They're fantastic. What we laugh? Did I miss something? Do you bring it with your teeth and release the nicotine that way it's much faster, it's much faster than other pouches. Lucy pouches are heftier than other nicotine pouches and they don't get all wet and slippery. Not to mention their gum tastes and feels like normal gum if normal gum had a nicotine kick.

But let's hit some, we did, we had Nate Bargatti coming on the podcast. He was incredible.

Obviously, he's a Nashville kid. A lot of stories about being a kid. Lawn mowers, his first job, shitty jobs. We have an excellent Duke Cannon, or sorry, not Duke Cannon. A dude wiped segment with him. Shittiest time in his life and his career and what happened. And then obviously the twisted question this week is going to be him, the drunkenest he's really ever been.

And it was a phenomenal story as well. I think he doesn't really do that. But with that being said. Let's hit some shoutout, no free shoutout. JP, we'll start with you, the mic's closest. My shout-out, no-free shout-out this morning. I was at Cracker Barrel, and we had an amazing waitress, Roberta. And she just, my shout-no-free shout-out goes to waitresses that make you feel like,

they'll almost act like your mom, how they talk to you. They're like, what can I get for you today, baby? Yeah. They just start rubbing your shoulder and like, oh, yeah. Exactly. And it just makes you feel so good. You feel so welcome. when you feel so safe.

So I would like to shout out those waitresses. Yeah. That make me feel like their little boy. Shout out over handsy waitresses, yes. I love that. How many stars that you have on her apron do now? No, I don't know.

Because the Crackerbrower waitress, they have like a ranking system. I think it's how many years you've been. If you get a five-star waitress, like you're dealing with some shit. Is she older? No, I mean,

she's probably like 40s maybe. But it looked like she was in her 20s. Wow. Roberto, so she was kind of a rocket too, huh? Yeah. Who were you with? Donnie and some other guys. You know, Danny.

What was your roommate, Donnie? Ex- roommate, Donnie. Yeah, yeah. Love Donnie. He's fantastic. Dude the best. Did you want to go? My shout-out, Norfolk's shout-out this week goes to just like a fresh loaf of bread that's super soft.

It just makes your sandwiches. Hell yeah. So much better. It's just. Like, it just takes your sandwiches to the next level. You know, you get that, like, not stale, but it's just, like, a little bit more, like, crustier a little bit, like, just not as soft. But you get that, that soft bread, dude. That's soft bread.

A whole lot if you got to cut it yourself. No, like, typically it's like that, like, or a potato bread. Like, that shit's always soft. All right. But, I mean, fire, fire me up with some soft bread. And, like, one thing my mom taught me is this is a little bit. pro tip. When you go to your, you're like, grocery store, look and you're getting like white bread or

wheat bread or whatever it is, look at the top of the loaf, the wider it is, the more fresh it is and the softer it is. So, I mean what? That's exactly what, that's exactly what it is. That's exactly how it works. The wider the bread, the better the... The softer it is. The softer it is. Shout out soft bread. Wow. People want to say, I don't go to the grocery store. He didn't even know the word grocery store. That is kind of crazy.

You never got that selfie. Yeah. You know, it's been a busy week. It's been a busy week. I got to go. I got to go to the grocery store. We're running a little on groceries. I should probably head over there today.

I go to Whole Foods and Green Hills, actually. Thanks for asking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know the whole fucking place upside and down. I'm there so much. Yeah. You turn it upside down. I'd still be able to figure my way around there.

That's how much I know the place. Gee, what do you got? My shout-out. No free shout-out this week. is, so I was at Nickelback on Tuesday, or Monday, with Tuesday. And just scanning the crowd, like, I'm a casual nickelback fan, I guess. Like, you know the popular ones, but the people in the crowd that were having the time of their life, I just kind of like had an appreciation.

Like, you just kind of see from a distance, like, you know, they're living their best time right now. And I was just scanning the crowd, just like, just kind of laughing. And like, this is so sick when people have such a love for something that I'm such a casual fan of. Yeah. So that's my shout out. So shout out diehard fans. Diehard fans. I love it.

The tier ones of Nickelback. Yeah. Fucking in it. Just like for Blink. Now I do that I was going to ask that question. Ponsor wise. Take away all the guests they had because I did. I really walked into rehab the next day.

And the receptionist at the desk, she said she went to Nickelback. She said Ernest was out there. Hardy was out there. Like six, seven people. Just a wild amount of people. So take that away. It was strictly Nickelback or Blink 1182. Same place.

How do we feel? Same, same, but different. Which one would you rather go to? I mean, I would rather go to blink. Good. But Nickelback was pretty wild. They had flames and shit.

There was like... They had flames at the thing. At the Plinkgoody 2. They had the fog thing come up too. Yeah, I mean, but it was like, I could feel it and I was in the nosebleeds. Was there, was there drummer? suspended in the air?

No. But they were on the pod. And so it felt like I knew them a little. That's true. That is true. The callback of having a familiar face when you see him on stage, having a good time.

I can see why that changed you judgment. He was hitting a double pedal and everything. It was like, they were kind of getting... Nothing Travis can do, but I get it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Travis is the best drummer of all time.

I don't even think it's arguable. Yeah, no, not at all. No. But... But it was sick. You should have gone. Yeah, I wish I could have. But these kids, man.

These bunnies. These bunnies. here. I gotta keep this livestock alive. No doubt. I'm rolling. Jack, have you gathered your thoughts? Holy fuck, man.

This is, I mean, G. I mean, G, usually, he's had this happened to him twice. This happened to you once. This is very unlike you. This is be the first time. But no, I think my shout-out goes to, and you will not understand this, unfortunately, because you're rich.

Shout-out to when you are folding your laundry. Yeah. And you fold the very last piece, whether it's like a shirt or usually for me, I leave the socks to the end to match them all up. And it's when your laundry is officially folded and you are done with it. It's like completing a process or a task is very like calming to me. So once that's done and it's all lit out on the bed or even just like the last time you put it into the drawer, it's like, I accomplish what I needed to do today.

Let's move on to the next next thought. I wish I could share the same experience, but... But can we jump to pet peeve? We can in a second. I need to kind of unpack the fact that the boys in the back don't think I do anything. That is fucking tough. I do laundry.

You do laundry? I do my laundry. I put it in the hamper, for God's sakes. That shit in the hamper. This is the last time you wash and folded laundry. And it's okay. I want to get to the point where I don't have to do that. A decade?

No, not a decade, but it's been about five years Since I've actually done my own laundry. I think everybody wants to get to the point where they don't do their laundry anymore. That's like, I've made it. I hated doing laundry, and I hated color-coordinated socks. So much that I never even tried at once.

I don't color coordinate. I just wash on cold water. You said match them. Oh, you just throw socks together? Yeah, they're two white socks. Maybe they have a different toe or different heel. Then boys are going together, enjoy each other, make friends, because you guys are going to be together for a minute.

Okay. Usually when I put socks on They go for about 48 hours I'm just gonna let you know I'm a dirty boy Yeah I fuck up that grocery store though I'll tell you that Oh damn dude

Yeah You ever seen that interview It was like Bill Gates And it was on Ellen I think And Ellen's really quizzing him on like basic grocery products and how much they are He's like A gallon of milk and he's like

$20 and they're like What? Like what all this It's fucking how I'm feeling right now. So I need to get that out. But yeah, we can go right to pet peeve after I give out my shoutout, no free shout out. My shout out no free shout out is simple. It could easily be a pet peeve of others. But it's when the cafeteria is referred to as the dining hall.

I think it gives it more of a prestige. It just feels a little bit better when you head it off to. And people say, instead of cafeteria, they say, oh, I'm going at the dining hall right now. It gives it that hogworts type of feel. You're kind of going. You're doing a little something extra when legitimately, we're kind of staying in line for the buffet table. And these things have been under heat lamps for about 15 to 20 minutes.

It's not going to taste as you think. But now it's dining hall. And I do enjoy the phrase dining hall over cafeteria. What? What? That's it, bro. Don't say when's the last time you've been there? Don't fucking say that, dude.

Nine years. And in a couple years, I'll say 10. Nine years in the league. There's a cafeteria in there. That's true. So I also didn't eat my food in the cafeteria. I had my food made for me and I brought that from home

but I go in the dining hall and I would eat there. God damn it. We got to send Taylor to camp. It's a true summer camp. Yeah. Damn. Yeah, I do

kind of hate myself right now. But let's start with G on PetP for the Week. Yeah, so going off of the momentum of Jack's shout out when you finish your laundry. this is something that just comes with having roommates but it's when your roommate starts laundry but then leaves the house

and his stuff is in both the washer and the dryer so you McPherson so I've had a delayed you know my schedule's thrown off yeah nothing pisses me off more than when my roommates leave their shit in the washer and dryer that bugs the shit out of me and let me just

It wasn't just I left like normal clothes. I did my sheets and my comforter. And normally I'll do the comforter every other time I wash the sheets because it's just the comfort is huge and it takes a lot. So I had the comforter being washed and then I put it in the dryer and it's so big I can't fit the other stuff in it. And so my throw blanket and sheets are still in the wash soaking wet because it didn't spin them correctly. And then my actual comfort is in the dryer. I dried the thing three separate times and it still won't dry. So I did feel bad this morning.

I like go to like see if the comforter's good, still wet. I'm like, did he like do his stuff and then move mine back in there? I realize he just took his dirty clothes back upstairs to wait until. So my pet peeve is when your fucking comforter refuses to dry. Yeah. It's on the comforter. A good twofer. Yeah, it's on the comforter.

Yeah, no, no, you're right. I wanted my sheets to be soaking wet all night. Most of us do. See? Yeah, that's where I'm out. Sorry, G. JP, what you got for us? I'm pet peeve of the week.

Oh, my pet people of the week is when you're on the interstate. And there's a lot of cars out there, and it's at night. And the person behind you has their high beams on. There's no reason to have their high beams on. It's not like they're trying to send a message, you get over. Clearly they just, like, forgot that they're on. And it just pisses me off because I feel like I've checked the rearview mirror even more

when I know their high beams are on. Yeah. So, yeah. You got to move the thing up a little bit. Yeah, you try to adjust it, but then you're like, I wonder if they're still on. Yeah. He just keeps pissing you off. And you're staring at two of those little balls, light balls.

Yeah. If you stay into a light for a while. Yes. Yeah. When's the last time you stared at a light ball, man? man i do got to go to camp Mitch my uh

pep people of the week is when you get a new app on your phone and you just have to reorganize your entire app layout this is a very first world problem but like we had to get like the google calendar app for work and stuff and it just

just grinds my gears now that i have to figure out where everything else is and just have to make it all fit in the way that I want it. But super first world. Super first world problem, but I just hate getting new apps because I know I'm going to have to reorganize my phone. Same. I don't organize any of my shit at all.

All right. My peppy for the week is going to go when you have ankle socks on and you're walking and you're traveling with the boys and that sock comes off of your heel and then slowly inches down towards your toes and sits like in the middle of your foot. And the rest of the day, it's like a very soft rock. Just kind of pressing into the soft point of your foot. That shit pisses me off. That is my pet peeve the week.

Thank you. I believe we have to do a tear talk though because we didn't do one with Nate. Fuck yeah. I'm all about a tier talk. Should we do best things about camp? Let's do best. Grocery store items. That's grocery store items.

Do you guys want to do camp or grocery store items? No, no, no. We can do. Let's do camp. All right, let me take a couple minutes. Did you have you been to camp? And that's just not like a slide. I've been to camp.

I've been to camp. I was at camp for a week when I was 14. No, 12. I went to go see my grandparents and I got a little too much. So they sent me to camp for a week. That was not as fun as you think. But yeah, let's take five. All right, we're back with Tier Talk.

Tier Talk today is going to be the best things to do at camp. After we talk about something that most of the camp, counselors do at camp. That's drink some whiskey boys. Summer Fridays are a thing of the past. It's time for Friday, Rye Day with Whistlepig whiskey. Grab yourself a glass, pour some Whistlepig whiskey, and get out there probably at camp. Whistle Pig, piggyback 100% rye, age six years made with 100% rye, bold spice forward, perfect.

Wait, bold spice, forward perfect for maple old fashions. Which one is that? Six years, right here. That the boys a little header right there. That's a nice little deal. It goes down real smooth. Whistle Pig, piggyback 100-proof bourbon, age six years. 100-proof shines in sour and citrus cocktails.

Piggyback rise, way better half. Wait, I just put way in there for no reason. Piggyback rise, better half. And then there's Whistle Pig 10-year, the one that started Whistle-Pig, the original Disruptor, age 10 years, 100-proof. You boys in the comments, let's know how you celebrate your Friday, ride day because that fall is coming and this whiskey's about the change flavors on you real quick because that's how good it is grab yourself a bottle of whistle pig whiskey and kiss your

workday goodbye with summer rye day. With that being said to your talk this week is now things to do at camp. Obviously God tier is going to be drink, drink whistle pig whiskey. That's going to be God tier. Boom. Done. We will, you know what I want to go first. I would like to go first.

my three go together. My tier three of being at camp, and I'm taking myself back to being a child, the one week I was at camp, 12 years old, was nighttime telling scary stories with your friends. That to me, dude, the sheer, the sheer terror after you're done telling scary stories, and the shittiest kind of scary stories, and everyone's kind of sitting there and the lights finally, okay, it's time to go to bed, the camp counselor's getting upset, hey, you guys need to turn the lights off, it's over. Those creeks get a whole lot louder.

That wind at night gets a whole lot louder and you feel very, very uncomfortable as you fall into slumber. Might not do it until the break of dawn, actually. So a lot of sleepless nights. My tier two is going to go with my tier three because this is where usually the scary stories happen. And that is around a bonfire. Bonfires with the boys hanging out. That is the illumination of a fire on somebody's face as they're telling you about some creature in the forest. What a place to get scared.

And then my number one, my tier one for going to camp is going to be making new friends. It's nerve-wracking at first. You can tell as you get there because you're never the first one there. There's already groups where they're finding and forming their own clicks and you find your group. You're only together for a certain amount of time. But truly, for whatever reason, camp and little tiny excursions like that where you're not there for very long time. Bonds are formed so quickly. You'll never speak to them again.

Don't get it twisted. These are not. These are seasonal friends, not a lifetime friend. But that seasonal flame is so beautiful. So making new friends is my tier one. Solid. Bonding veteran. Fire.

Thank you. I especially appreciated it, Jacks. I felt like it came from the heart. I honestly didn't even remember that I've been doing that bit. And so that was just an awesome. I will take that. I think you're lying, but I'll take it. I swear to God.

I was like, oh, shit. Mitch, Gary, you guys are up next. You guys are the closest ones to me. All right. So my tier three, our tier three, is just being outside. Just little kid, like, just when you're kids and stuff, at that age, all you want to do is just be outside and, like, being with, like, like, you said, making new friends and stuff, just doing random shit outside, probably, like, stuff you shouldn't be doing.

But, like, just running around, ripping around. Yeah. My tier two, our tier two. that camp lunchtime is different in my opinion. Do you get to softest bread? At the same time, like, you're like all morning. You're just out there doing activities and stuff. And then like you build up this massive appetite.

And then you just go back to like your dining hall or wherever you're like where your home base is and you eat lunch and you're just surrounded by like your buddies and stuff that you make. And you're just recapping the morning. Like, oh, I can't wait to what we're. doing in the afternoon, stuff like that, just getting excited. And then tier one is just the games and stuff that you play at camp are games that you'll never ever play again, like different sorts of tags and stuff like that.

But like when you are humble brag, like the most athletic person at camp, you just feel like, you just feel like you're winning everything. you're always kind of getting picked first. Just a little self-tapped on a pat on the back. I mean, it is what it is. But like, and then you have like your other like athletic friends that are like just with you and just riding with you. It's just fun. It's just fun.

It's just fun playing those games at camp. Sounds like it. That's it. That is our tier talk. Elitist. Testosterone Solid Humble brag

But you're the most athletic at camp Get the fuck out of here, dude One highlight tape surfaces With Mitch I'm sure everybody here is probably the most athletic at their camp We are the most athletic podcast in the game True We've had a fact

I'm sure everybody at their camp We should talk about golf too But I want to hear you guys to your talk. Those were solid lists. You guys, y'all did leave out the most crucial, but we will get there. Honorable mention goes to Camp Chance, and it usually takes place in the dining room. So all the boys, it's right in that sweet spot of lunch.

When everyone's still a little juice from like maybe a little pretty intense flag football game or whatever you're playing. You get in there, you start beating on the tables, you know, like, whatever it is, food, But it's just something that bonds everyone against the superiors, the camp counselors, that weird parent who tags along because they can't let their son go for a week. Whatever may be. So that's honorable mention. Number three is, is just meeting? Yeah, meeting people from new cities. Yeah, meeting people from new cities.

It's like the first exposure you get as a kid to people who live outside of your like general area. So you're like, oh, like this kid's from fucking Nebraska or whatever, Colorado. though, and you're like, people actually do live outside the 20 miles that I've existed in my, what I know is life. So you kind of like start to grow and develop. Number two would be cool camp counselors, but specifically, it's usually on that last night of camp. If you have a cool camp counselor, they let you, like, sneak out, whether it's to, like,

go, like, prank another cabin or kind of like, you form, like, a really good bond with your group of guys. So, like, you just get to go, like, hang out, like, in the, and like throw rocks or some shit, just like cut up and be bad kids for a little bit. So like shout out to the good camp counselors. And the number one that I feel like you guys didn't even mention and is the best thing as an adolescent is camp crushes.

It's your first experience at love. And you know maybe it hurts more than you want to care to admit, but you know the relationship's never going to work. But for that five or six days you have with this, person, it's like by like day four, all your boys know about it. And like you walk in to the dining hall and they're like, oh, you know, like there she is. You know, like you go like drop like a fork off at her table and they're like, what is this? And you like, throw a wing. Like you just dropped off some gold or whatever. You're like, so yeah, the camp crush. It like really opens you up as a kid

and shows you like the potential of what love could be. So there is a moment where, where you do believe that you will end up with your camp crush. Like our past will Ross again. And God. And usually, going back to our second, that last night that you get out, sometimes, if you're lucky, the girl counselor, girl counselor gets to go out as well. And you guys meet up under the moonlight, share a little, you know, intimate kiss. Or with the shirt stuff.

Yeah, you go back home, tell all the boys, you're like, you'll never even believe what happened at camp this year. Kissing and tell her. I had my arm around the whole night. Yeah. All fair at camp. dude. Oh, it's fair game. Yeah, I had a boyfriend.

Like, you know, whenever I love you more. The thing is, when we say Camp Crush, I know everybody in the bus immediately thought of one name, which is a cool bond to have. Haley. Please take me back. I miss you so much. You want to talk about golf?

Yeah, I do want to talk about golf. I know the golf world with an apology. I'm not saying I'm a country club guy, so don't fucking, don't get a twist. But I will say we were in Ann Arbor, Michigan this past weekend seeing the 23, 2024 national champion University of Michigan Wolverines doing a couple of little pods, little things that will live on YouTube. We can't for you guys to see them. But we went down and hit a couple balls at the driving range.

I've picked up a club five times in my life. And I got to be honest. I was nervous. There's a lot of people around, a lot of gentlemen that look up to me, actually, in that area. humble brag. And when I grabbed that club, I was like, fuck, man, all right. Don't mess this up.

And I literally just thought back to watching people, taking the small notes. I literally asked Garrett for a second. Hey, what do I do? That type of thing. And I hit it. And I hit it well. I hit that ball. And I really didn't think because there was one kid going before.

I can't believe he got a scholarship to play football because the way he was betting and using that team ability. I thought, oh, man, I don't know if this kid played. No idea who he was. No idea who he was. But the way he was trying to swing and I was like, please God just don't look like that.

And then obviously Jack catches a video from behind and it's probably the most excited. I've been to look at a video real quickly. Hey, let me see that. Let me see that. Like, how did I? I'm literally judging myself.

I thought, Dan, the boy looked kind of nice there. Obviously, the clubs are too small. No idea what the fuck that means. Everybody says that in the comment section because I did with the comment section about 40 times because I was that fired up. But then we go see Shepty, who's with this older gentleman

and we saw Schefter as we're looking at, pulling is like the first individual we saw and he's with a group of people on this one. He's like, this guy I'm like, hey, what's your handicap? Because I know it's what people say in golf. So I'm just trying to callback lingo that I've heard in the past. And he's like, oh, this guy's below par. And I know, I have like, par zero and you want to do below, which is minus. And so

I put those pieces together. They're in the middle of the fairway, which was buddy shot. It's on a par five. And this dude, they all shoot a lot of dog shit shots out there. I'm kind of bragging or saying whatever. I'm really just saying shit to say shit because we're just there. And I'm like, man, I'm going to

I would hit that on the green. I would do X, Y, and Z, blah, blah, blah. And Buddy shot a shot that shoot, it was actually on the green. It was actually, what, 10 feet away from the, from the hole? Yeah, it was, probably 20. Yeah. End up eagling it. But then, I don't know who said it between the three of you, be like, hey,

Taylor, you get a shot, take a shot. And at that point, I was back in the nervous stage of like, fuck that this dude just shot in the lead shot. I saw these other guys shoot the ball. It wasn't very good. I think I could at least do what they just did. Now, they put a club in my hand. It looked like a driver.

Like, what was it? It was a fair way wood, whatever that means. And I'm trying to be, you know, I pick it up like a baseball bat. I'm thinking I'm funny in my head. And I swing that ball. I hit it pretty good. I hit the ball pretty good, dude. It overshot the green by 20 yards.

But that's just, I'm just given, I'm using the weapon that was given to me in this type of situation. That ball, if the right club was in my hand and I shot that same shot, We're talking on the green or on the green that's a little bit higher grass. Are we not? Are we not, boys? Maybe whole. Maybe hole. It's called the fringe.

We would be on the fringe. We would be on the fringe. So I'm just saying the exhilarating feeling I got when the ball left my club and I with zero coaching was able to do that. One makes me feel like a lot of you who complain about being bad at golf, maybe you're just bad because I did that. I did that And it's on film And I wish we got a video of where the ball landed But it wasn't in the woods

Like a lot of you guys out there So I would now like to revisit One of Jack's podcast he was on Talking about who the most athletic And when he said I would be out Basically putting me in fifth place, correct? You just weren't top three Would you like to change your answer at all?

When we go out and play a full 18 that is when I will decide. Yeah, yeah, 9, 9, 9. Shots on the ADHD right there on the victim. But I am willing, not only am I no longer wildly against golf, I am willing to actually pick up some clubs and go play.

I don't want to get my own clubs. I think that's ridiculous. I think that's way too much of an investment for no reason. Because although people want to talk about my income in the back of the bus, I don't like to spend it like that. So we should get a true.

Trubodore. I'm sure you've got to come. Can you get us in? Is the real question? I'll call some people. One of the competitors in Beer Olympics lives in Trubodore. So maybe we can call him play around a golf with him. But yeah, dude, I was wildly... You would like Trubor because you can wear exactly what you're wearing right now, and it will be the nicest course you've ever played.

Nicer than the one in Michigan? Because G. was saying that's the nicest club he's ever played at. I haven't been to Trubidor, but that course was... That's pretty insane. Yeah, I wish I could understand the beauty I was looking at. It looked like grass to me. Yeah. But well-mowed grass.

Absolutely. I will say that. Yeah, a lot of textures. We got to talk about you. Me. We went to Trevor Keegan and Zach Zinter's hole, and they were teeing off. So we were there right from the beginning. And be honest, thank God those boys are good at football because their dog shit at golf.

Their whole crew was. The crew they were with a bunch of CPAs wearing Italian horn tattoos. around their calves. We talked to them a little bit that later. That's not part of the story. But everyone shoots and then G shoots. G hit that thing a goddamn mile on the fairway. And then you're not even a part of their scramble.

They all go and find their balls, which are on different fairways, different areas, in the woods behind trees. They cruise over and find your ball. Joseph only say, ha, ha, that's mine, and proceed to use your ball. What happens next? I don't know if you want to interject to any point.

they all shoot again, they're all dog shit shots. And what do you do, G? Stroke of seven iron. On the fringe. On the fringe, yeah. Definitely should have kept the club I had, but it was a good shot. Yeah.

You did get a little cocky with the club choice. I did see you had the six in your hand, and then there you're like, I'm going to take the seven. Well, homie. It was coughing behind me, I thought. Launch that one over the green, and I was like, all right. Yeah. He didn't feel the wind behind us.

Yeah. You got to be a weatherman when you're in there. Yep. So that happens, puts that bitch on the fringe. And then did you put it or chip it? I had a horrible bump and run. But then the second one I hit and I hit the flagstick and that's the one that you've. That's right.

And that's what they ended up using anyway. So you played the whole hole for them. Help them because they would have been in hell. Yeah. Trevor can hit it far. It just doesn't go straight. What matters, dude? You're right.

You know, who gives the shit about going far? You want that thing to go straight. If I'm not mistaken, not a golfer. But I feel like I'd much rather hit it straight than far. That's fair. Get a combination of the both. Now you're talking about PGA tour. Yeah, exactly.

So I need to hear. But yeah, we've definitely decided as a group on Bustin with the Boys that we are the most athletic all-around podcast. I don't know about Stephen. I'm not sure. He played lacrosse. He said he's a runner. Said he's a runner. What that counts for an athletic ability?

We'll see. But a couple of pro athletes. three pro bowls between the two and then I'm a rec sport Hall of Famers in the back here which Jack took offense to that when I said the other day when you actually beat me in something

Nate Bargothi, let's get right to it. What a time that was, 2021, on the bus, in the church. What do you think of this compared to the church? I like this. You know, I used to work this area. I used to do, I was a delivery guy. And we used to deliver appliances and stuff like that. And we, I was over, I would do it over here.

And I mowed. And I worked for a guy to cut grass once. And his thing was right back over here too. So I used to be over here a lot. Yeah. You got mowing jobs? I had mowing jobs. At one. It's, uh, mowing's the worst, dude. It's, uh, you know, like I would cut grass growing up, like your neighbor's yard or so. I had this old lady. If she gave me, I got five bucks. They cut her grass.

That's brutal. And then, uh, this was 1953. You go. That's a whole month salary right there. That's someone. You were killing it back then. I remember I could go. There was a candy store. This is, I mean, I'm 44. It's not like I'm 100, but there was a candy store in Old Hickory. and you could go, five bucks was a lot. Five bucks was like the 20, I think now. Like if you give a kid, if you give a kid five now, I feel like they don't even respect it. But a 20 is, you know, it's like five,

you're like, ooh. But we, so I mowed grass for a little bit, but I mean, just doing businesses. And it's just, man, people that mow, you know, like landscape and all that, that is brutal work. It's so hot and you're just out in it all day. I quit after one day of landscaping.

Yeah. Yeah, it was brutal. It was like a hot 98 degrees. Like, my mom wanted me to go do this. I was lifeguard the summer before. Next summer, I got thrust it into a landscaping job, and I quit immediately. The first day? Yeah.

We went and got lunch and got sandwiches or whatever. I texted my mom. I said, you got to get me out of here. Dude, the first, I've never mowed a lawn in my entire life. Really? Not one. I grew up in Arizona. Yeah.

Only rich people had. grass. And so... You got the turf. Yeah. Yeah, people got turf or people got rocks. Like, that's really what you get to deal with out there. So coming out here or even being up in Michigan, the maintenance is nuts.

Yeah. And I feel like a landscaping deal isn't as bad because they have like the cool mowers that they can kind of move around. You're sitting the whole time. Yeah. They're all, they got the whole garment and everything on. I'm sure as a boy, you were just short sleep T-shirt and some shorts. I was, yeah, I was never, I wasn't at high up. So you'd be, you're weed eating, which is, I mean.

I mean, just no fun. Or you're doing all the weird kind of like where you got to be like, you got to push it because they can't get a thing on it. Landscaping, though, was the, if you have no college, if you have no chances of going to college, always starting a landscaping company was talked about pretty heavily. Dude, I have like four friends that have a landscaping company. They, you just go.

In the same town. Yeah, when you're like, I can't, I'm not smart enough to go really, I can't get in college or any of this stuff. And you just have a group of people. evil, that'd be like, we start a landscape becoming a dude. But if somebody does in high school, they're the man for a minute because they can afford all the, when they go. Oh, yeah, they're billionaires.

Yeah, because you're collecting a lot of money being mowing lawns, but then they're doing it still because they're, you know, didn't go to college. Yeah, I have a buddy buying his brother. He actually owns a landscaping company now. He was a kid that just started cutting yards. It was like smart enough to realize like, oh, let me start building this up into a thing. And it is. I mean, they got money.

Like, they saved money. like, you're like, you know, someone's got like three grand and you're like, what? Yeah. Yeah. You're like, that is unheard of. Yeah. Unheard of. As someone's 16.

Yeah. Sitting on three grand. And then they pull like, you know, a business gig or a corporate gig and they're mowing those yards. Like, you're richer than my parents. Yeah. For real. You get that money. $3,000.

Imagine seeing $3,000 in high school. It would have been unimaginable. No. That'd be way too much. Is that the worst job you've ever had, being a landscaper? I also, so the guy I used to deliver. with over here, we did another job where we recycled tires. And that job was on dirty jobs.

And it's- How do you recycle a tire? So you would go and pick up, I don't know if you'd remember, but there's a big Ford, they did, where they did a callback or recall on all the tires for Ford one. Chevy would never. And then there's, and so we had to go get all the tires. So you go get all the tires and you pick them up and you take them to Australia.

I'm in Australia. I'm going to Australia. And this week, it's all my... You take them to Atlanta, and then they have a thing, and then they cut them up and, you know, whatever they do, recycle.

Whatever recycling is. I'm pretty sure turf fields have, like, tire pellets in them. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. So that's where they don't know what to do with it.

So they're just, like, put it in the field. And have so much of it. Yeah. So why was so hard? So you have to go pick up all these tires. Water sits in the bottom of a tire. And that's where mosquitoes lay eggs and that's where it are.

So the whole time, you're just getting lit up by mosquitoes. That's just your day. I was doing this job with 9-11 happen. Oh, shit. Remember when? I remember when. Yeah. I remember it very well.

You heard that Alan Jackson song, you're like, I will forever know where I was. Yeah. And so the mosquitoes are there. And then we had one time we had to go pick up tires out of a cave. So if someone would pay you to come get the tires, and then you would go recycle them and then hopefully make some profit. But one guy would just get the tires and then just go dump them in a cave.

And he wasn't getting them recycled. So he's just making straight profit from taking tires. Well, they found out that guy ended up going to jail. But then we had to go get those tires and they were all in a cave. So we had a backup truck just in this cave. And you've got to run them up your chest and like bump them. And then they're, and then stack them up into the back of a like a box truck. You see it too where you got to pick up fucking you see a big tree.

You're like, oh, let's go do this job and get a couple tires. And then they're massive tractor tires. Yeah. I don't remember that. I don't necessarily, but ours were all car tires because this was, again, the recall. So it was like everybody right here had so many tires because all these tires got recalled. So they, everybody was like, it was a big kind of booming business at that moment. And this one guy just figured like, I'll just dump him in a cave.

And we had gone. I mean, there was so many tires in this cave, dude. We just drove back up in there and just there's the most tires and you're like, all right. And you just... Guys would be good at it. They would, you would run it up your body

and then bounce the tire off your chest. Would it start the toes? Like you get the toes, give it a little flick? Yeah, you kind of, yeah, you just kind of run it up and it's all in one motion. And then it's probably a work... Now you probably pay to get a trainer to make you do it.

Yeah. But, yeah, you just do it and you roll it back and then you got to stack the tires like kind of criss-cross. Oh, where you found that physique of yours, dude? that muscle memory. You have, you know,

you're probably, I probably was a pretty strong. Yeah, you're strong. Like you're like, you know, like, uh,

blue color's strong where you're, yeah, country boys strong. Weird strength. Yeah, the boys are, throwing the hay bales out there.

They just got a grip like a motherfucker. Yeah. That's a tough job. Another job that'd be tough as like, uh, have you ever heard of like college hunks and junks? That company? Uh,

not, I always like two men, or, uh, two guys in a truck. Yeah. It's kind of like that. But like,

but like, Their whole promo of the whole thing is essentially hot college guys come and pick up your trash. Yeah. And we use them. And they come in and they're like, they're not hot. Like they're like 35, 40 years old, like bad tans. You hired them? Oh, yeah.

I call them up. I want to see what this is all about. This is your branding. They were not the guys on the flyer when I called them up. You tell them when they go, y'all are not hot. Yeah. What's the deal with that. The funny thing is they'll just look at all the trash you have and they'll go, 300?

Like, all right. And they just take it and they leave. And that's their job. That's a wild job to have. Yeah. No, it is. Living, yeah. For your entire one, what'd you get paid? I don't even know if I remember. I mean, I mean, nothing. Like, you know, enough. I was 20. So it's like enough to give it. Like, whatever it was. You know, you're living. I might just have lived at home or you're at an apartment. I mean, back then it was just everything was so, it was, you know, your rent was probably 400 a month or something. and 500 a month, like, if you had an apartment, I don't remember being that crazy. When you were 20 years old, you were still here. I know you guys talked about in the last podcast, but when did you make the trip to New York? When did you decide? That's where I'm going for coming.

So I moved to Chicago first, and then, because at a buddy, we were reading water meters in Mount Julia. And so he wanted to go to Second City in Chicago. It's where a lot of SNL people come out of. Farley came out of. Yeah. And so we went to, so I was like, oh, I was like, oh, I think I want to start comedy. And so we went to Chicago and moved up there.

And I did that very briefly. Then I kind of started doing stand-up. And then there's a great documentary with Seinfeld called Comedian. It's on Netflix. It's when he's like he's starting a new hour. And so he's writing it and shows all this New York. He's going all these New York clubs of doing this stuff. And so then I saw that.

And when I saw that, it was like, I got to go to New York. And then I just went. So I moved New York in 04. Yeah. Yeah. We just had to Stefano on the podcast, and he was talking about how, like, New York is the spot. There's no other place like that.

You have to, like, literally run through like 5,000 dudes to even make it out of there. Because he was saying he would never move away from New York because it's all. Yeah. You can make it out of New York. He's New York. Yeah. And grew up there. Yeah.

I can't imagine being a Tennessee boy and then going up to New York. Yeah, it was a lot. Like, Christy's like a lot younger than me. But I remember when he got a great. dude. And then when he came on the scene, you do, you have to go it's the best, the big saying was like go to New York

to get good in L.A. to get famous. That's saying I heard once in that. But it always made a ton of sense to me. But New York is like, it is where you go and you're just grinding it out in these comedy clubs and just, we're all doing spots. You're all doing

shows for five people. I mean, it's a lot. Like the beginning is most of your career is in front of five, six people. You'd be happy. Yeah, because you talked about how you'd stand outside and hand out flyers

just to get a few people in. One of your boys is performing. You're like, hey, come check it out. Yeah, yeah. And you'd get paid in stage time. So you would just do that. And then at the end of the night, you get it on stage like midnight

and do five minutes. And then you go do it. And the next day. But it's a world. I mean, you just, you fall in love with it because you're seeing, like back when I did it,

it was like you're seeing Bill Burr. Bill Burr's probably doing comedy 10 years when I, I was in New York at the beginning. And so, like, but no one knows who he is and Patrice O'Neill and all this. So you're, you're, like, kind of like, I can't believe these dudes exist. I'd imagine in your world, like, it's like, you know, if you're in high school and you're the top football player in your high, and then you go, oh, there's other people that

are so good. Yeah. And then you, like, and it makes you love it because you go, oh, this, it's a whole other level. Like, it's. Let me see if I can make it here. Yeah, let me see if I can make it. Yeah.

Because you can be whatever in your own little small thing, but you've got to always change it up. So then you can be like, let me see if I can run with these guys. I'm with you. Growing up in Bon Terra when I went to college, I was like, oh, shit. Black guys play football. Yeah. You know? Let me see if I can run with these guys.

Yeah. Let me see if I can run with these guys. Yeah. How it worked out for you at first? In college? Yeah. You know, it's intimidating. Yeah.

You know how it is, right? Absolutely. Yes. Like, it's intimidating. But it's like, once you get that first compliment. compliment, dude. Hey, this white boy can play. That's all it takes. If you hear you, hey, you're pretty this for a white guy.

It's like, okay, we've, we're making it out here. That's what you're getting on. I might be one of the best athletes of all time then. Yeah, there's no question about it. You really think you're him at that point. Yeah. When you're in New York and you're sifting to this, you're seeing guys like Bill Burr, who wasn't Bill Burr at the time,

how do you, when you're trying to find your own voice, not steal from these other guys or not get influenced too much by being around all these other people all the time? Because I'm sure you watch a set and you're like, damn, that is funny. And it's kind of up your alley of humor. Because it's such a subjective, like, career. Like, some guys you just don't think are funny.

Some guys you do, like, when you see a dude and they do a bit, you're like, man, how do you not steal it? Well, still, a bit you wouldn't do. Because it's, their cadence is a big thing. Yeah. So you can sound like them. So the way someone tells a joke and makes it funny is there's something that that's something that can get taken,

that I would always talk with my buddy Janice about it. Or Janice would always bring up, like, that's worse than stealing a joke. Because you're stealing the way to tell the joke. So it's like the other stuff doesn't really matter. It's like, you know, Brian Regan has a distinct thing. When you know when, like you know when to laugh. You know when to do it. David Tell does too.

Yeah. And so you'd have to catch yourself sounding like them. David Tell is a big one that when I was, a lot of people sounded like David Tell. I could catch myself in a little rhythm of David Tell. my accent would hide it, so I don't think anybody realized it, but I could feel it. Like, I was like, oh, I'm like watching him too much. And so you got to, and you don't want to start writing jokes like that, because then that's when you can see a comic.

If they get too far, you're like, oh, you sound like this guy. Like, even though you're doing jokes that are different, but you sound like him. And that's the part that you want to, if you want to be your own voice, you've got to be super aware of that. If you're sitting through the comment section on one of your posts on Instagram, is that one of the more insulting things to see is, oh, you sound like so-and-so? If they do. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if I can distinctly remember.

I would have some, like, you know, people tell you they, or they've heard this joke before. The joke-selling thing, they got all started. I don't, it's not as I think as crazy as people think it is. Like, it wasn't, it's just not, you know, they made it into this. big thing. A lot of times when jokes are stolen, you can really look at the joke and be like, it's not a super original idea. And you're like, I don't know, dude. I mean, like, I could see two people coming up with this thing. And you really look at it like that. I mean, there's comics. There's always so much. We're all doing the exact same thing. There's always so much that anybody's

doing. If you're in a world that, like, you're single and you're going out and you're drinking, well, that's 50 comics that are single going out and drinking. So what do they go talk about? You're going to all talk about the same kind of things. Right. So that stuff gets thrown in a lot that it's, you know, you're like, I don't know. I think it happens in movies, though, some like that. Like Star Wars and Harry Potter? Like any, yeah, like, writers in a movie.

Like, I would say, write a TV show, writer, like, you could, there's stuff like that that I, I mean, I don't know if I could, you could ever, I don't know if there's an example to say it. But, like, that's stuff you get nervous about. Because, I mean, someone writing a movie, like, they could just grab a joke from some comic and just be like, oh, I hear the joke in the comic. You're talking like, like, if I happen to be some writer and I'm liking your stand-up, a story you tell, it's like, oh, I'm going to put this in my movie. Yeah. Or it could be influenced by it. It could be, there's a lot of things. And, I mean, that's, and that's masked so much that, I mean, you can't even, how are you going to, you know, be like, that's my joke.

And you're like, well, they say it. I want to say that that's been talked about. I think I heard that. Really? It would be Walberg's, the Boston bombing, the movie Walberg about the Boston Bombers. Yeah.

I think there's a joke about an iron or something at the beginning of it. And I want to say that joke might be something that's like from a comic. And now that I'm thinking about it, I want to say it was like Theo talking about... Oh, yeah, it was Theo. The show Dave, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but he was digesting it. I mean, you could tell he was alluding to it. He wasn't, I don't think he was being like, oh, this is fact because ultimately, I guess you, you don't know. He said in his own Theo way. Right.

Yeah, right. But yeah, that's a good point. You hear something. Yeah, he says it of, yeah. And you're like, I mean, they're going to, you got to, and I'm not saying all these writers or, writers are not doing, the majority of them we're not doing it. But it's like, you, I bet, you know, yeah, it's like, they're going to be,

you're going to be influenced by people. You're going to hear things. You hear, there's so much content now. So you're hearing stuff all the time. You might not realize, like, where you would have possibly heard that. Yeah. But the still in the joke thing seems like talking to other comments. Like, I mean, there was one reference, like, I was a big Dan Cook guy growing up.

That was like right around my middle school time. And Dan Cook, we all loved them. We all loved them. And there was a big time where people were like, Dan Cook stole a joke. The same joke as Lewis C.K. told. It was about having a kid. he doesn't have a kid right now, but when he has a kid,

he's going to name something ridiculous. Like just one letter, five of them. And allegedly, I haven't really looked too much into it, so I'm kind of just speaking out of pocket here. But Dane just changed the letter essentially and did his, like, his cadence and all that. Because those are totally different comments. Yeah, I think there was another, like, his itchy butthole or something

was another joke like that. That was, uh, yeah. I mean, I remember all that stuff going on. Amy Schumer, I was around Amy a lot, and people would blame. it's like, I just, it's some of it you're, I mean, the Dane and the Louie thing, look, I don't know. I mean, maybe they did. It's, uh, and they maybe subconsciously did it. I don't know if, I just find it hard to believe people are like on purpose doing this stuff.

Yeah. Not saying that's right to subconsciously do it. Like you should somewhat try to check, but it's overall, you're like, I don't know, dude. Like, they're not, comics are not just taking each other's, where are you going to go do this, you know? Yeah. Where you're going to get caught. You're going to get, especially now. And then the thing that was frustrating is it makes it, then everybody, like, so if you have a joke similar to someone else, someone's like, do you steal that joke from that person?

You're like, no, dude, we're all talking about the same thing. Like, no one's stealing a joke. They're just, people are talking about stuff. It usually goes to, you got to look at what the joke is to be like, is it that original of an idea. And a lot of times it's not. And then it's like something that's kind of like, and there's jokes out there where you're like, I think I've, heard my uncle say that joke. You know, like that person's not stealing that joke.

It's like just telling kind of a hacky joke. We interrupt this podcast to bring you a sponsor. Sport Clips. Your hair may grow fast, but after going to Sport Clips, haircuts, you'll wish it grew even faster. That's because Sport Clips has the best seats in hair, and that may or may not be because they happen to be right in front of TV's playing sports all day, every day.

we know that watching sports while getting a haircut sure beats watching a reflection get a haircut. Oh, it beats your reflection getting a haircut. Got it. Which is why at Sport Clips every day is clippers and curveballs, high tops and Hail Marys,

and even waves and wickets. At Sport Clips, you can check in with the pros and men's hair and totally check out with pure uninterrupted relaxation. So yeah, come watch an endless stream of sports. sports on TV while getting your awesome haircut.

Sport clips. It's a game changer. With that said, back to this episode. JP, are you catching all that rain in the headphones? Yeah. I keep seeing Garrett look back, forth and stuff like that. You just, you hear the rain get even harder, and you're just like, fuck the one hour we're getting Nate on.

Yeah. That thing is supposed to start handling, too. Perfect. As he's telling a story, you just hear it get louder and louder. Yeah. When, uh... I just make sure the tornado, doesn't.

Yeah, we don't need that. Yeah. We definitely do not need that in our lives. You catch that? It's absolutely going off. There's like flood warnings and stuff. Is it a comedian, do you ever get just tired of being funny? Like when you're doing it, you're like, you know, you kind of fall in love with it in New York

and you're grinding through it. And even now, it's just like you've blown up, like, as a comedian, I've always, I don't know why I never ask him, but I'm just thinking, do you guys just ever get tired of just being like, yeah, everybody, every room I step into, I'm expected to be funny. Yeah, it's be funny. Yeah. I mean, you have to be on. That's the part that's hard. But I think y'all would experience that. You know, how many times you got to feel like you're on? So when you go out to a public event, when you go to something or like that kind of thing or you meet people and like it's the being on is the thing that gets exhausting. That's for anybody. I mean, people could feel that if they go to work and they feel like they have to kind of be like, all right, I got to turn it on a little bit. I got to be better, you know.

Are we going to die? I'm laughing about this fucking Sunday. that like out of this stuff we're in like a garage all stuff that I don't think you're supposed to be in inside of a storm is uh we're in a garage and you're like all right well that's you shouldn't be in there but at least you're not in a bus inside of it you're like oh we're in a bus one of the old buses that look like it's driving around trying to be struck by lightning yeah yeah we're in danger right now we are in danger the being on thing the being on thing's true because any time you come across like fans and everything else. You want them to be like, you know, you don't want to like let people

down or all of a sudden you're like an ass on that. You're like, you know, that you're fucking, not even. Yeah, because it only takes one bad impression for them to be off you forever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, you'll meet somebody in. It's you. It's either you or not you. So like, usually when you meet, if someone meets someone famous and they're kind of standoffish, whatever, you're like, yeah, man, that person's probably like that in real life. Yeah. And otherwise, it's, yeah, it's like the crowd and the audience should not feel my tiredness or my whatever, like, that's not on them to do any of that stuff.

Yeah. So there's, like, little moments like that. But, I mean, I don't think I ever feel with an audience. You feel it with, like, you know, the business side of sometimes just because you're like, the audience you're, like, grateful for because that's the reason you're here.

Sometimes you've got to go do the business side of things and then you're like... Yeah, but business side, you can, like, kind of turn it on and off. I feel like the being on thing is, like, when you're just walking somewhere and someone's like, hey, I like you for this. And then you feel like, okay, I have to make sure this person has a good experience.

Yeah. That way, it's like a move it forward or what's that movie? Pay it forward. And then just like one person tells two people, it's like, we got to make sure. Yeah, yeah. This person's happy with their experience and move on. If that happens too many times, that's when it kind of gets a little draining. Be nice.

And that's the easiest part about it. It's really a lot easier just to be nice and move on. And it's like, it is funny if you, someone that doesn't want to be like that. You're like, well, you make it much harder by being. kind of mean. You could just be nice and it would move very quickly. No doubt.

Has there ever been a person that you've kind of looked up to and then you meet him and you're like, fuck. Don't meet your heroes type thing? You brought up one person that universally seems like people are not a huge fan of

that's Jerry Seinfeld. Yeah. So I've only been I've talked to him once. I'm a giant Seinfeld fan. So I still want to go to there. There was a lot of people that have said that they didn't. He can be kind of standoffish

or he can be, and they would be that with comics and stuff like that. I mean, I don't look in that too much. Somebody goes, they're usually 60 something years old, like, doing comedy for 40 years or more. So some of that I look at like, yeah, does he want to talk to like, I mean, I'm an open micer

to him. Like, you know, he's done comedy so much longer than me. Like, not that I'm an open, but you know what I mean? Like, it's like you're so, if you were having talking to some seventh grader about being a lineman or something like playing football you'd be like I what are we go talk about dude like I don't I can't you're too new so sometimes like I think of it like that like people were like oh he wasn't like comics

specifically could think like I didn't like the way he left and you're like what do you want him to do like just I don't know like that so I've had no Louis CK I thought I had a little bit with when I first started now it's not I mean to see. He's come back down to reality a little bit. That happens a little bit. That happens a little bit. Have you heard Pete Davidson's a bit about that? He talks about, I guess Louis CK was hosting SNL. And then Pete Davidson got high.

And he was walking through to go to the elevators. And like, Louis CK caught up with him and was like, hey, stop getting high. You're ruining your fucking life. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, kind of dug into him. Yeah. And Pete's so high, he's like, that didn't happen. There's no way that actually just happened.

Yeah. And the next day, whoever, who's the guy? is it Lauren? Yeah, he calls Pete into the office. And essentially he's like, people have done Coke here before. Like, just, I guess, don't let Louis C.K. smoke. And then his whole bit is going into. So you'd be so happy when I found out on one great day that he was jerking off in front of ladies and stuff like that.

It's a pretty funny deal. Yeah. Yeah, it's like he, uh, Louis's been, like now it's not been, but when I was, when I, I remember open for him once a long time ago. and he was just kind of like, I don't know, he was just, I mean, like, at one point, Louis was on top of the world. Like, so, you know, we're in New York. Like, I mean, he is the biggest comic on the planet. And it would come off, sometimes you can meet him and he'd be kind of like jerky or like, you know, just not nice. Not being nice.

And you're like, you know, and you're a young comic and you're just thinking like, I'm nobody, dude. Like, just, I'm not trying to ask. You're trying to get out of his way. You're trying to do all these things. And he would just, you know, I remember he would just say, like, you, I brought him up on stage. And you'd be like, all right, everybody, y'all excited to see your headliner tonight. Please welcome Louis C.K. Like, and then I brought him on stage.

And he's like, don't introduce him like that. And look, in a weird way, there's a valid point. And to be like, they are there to see him. I don't really need to say anything, but please welcome Louis C.K. But the other side of it, I've been doing comedy six years at this point. I don't know what to do. I'm nervous. Like, like, as part of you, like,

why don't you think about the situation that we have? I'm getting, I can't believe I'm here. I can't believe I'm getting to go up in front of you. This is, it's a sold out room. I've never been in front of a sold out room. There's a lot of things playing into it. So you're like, there was like that kind of stuff with Louie, where he would just like say to you, you're like,

what do you want me to do, dude? How'd you, how'd you introduce him? Just where you're like, all you're all excited. You know what I'm from? You're like giving his credits and all this stuff. And it's just like, you don't have to say all my credits. They know who they're here to see, which is true. And that makes you don't need to say it.

But it would just be like, he'd come tell you that, but in like kind of an aggressive way. And you're like, Louie, I don't know what to do, dude. I'm no, I'm so nervous about this whole experience. I just don't want you to be mad. Yeah, yeah. Like, I, and you're mad, clearly. And then now, or I don't, you know, not that he's that mad, but it's just being like, just be regular, man.

Just be normal. You don't even say, I don't even have to look down to me. Like, I'm trying my best, man. I'm trying to, like, yeah, I'm just doing whatever I can do. Like, I did a joke, and then he went up and made fun of my joke.

And that made me so mad. I was so mad about this. I was so mad about this for a long time. Because it was just like, it was like, dude, we're nobody's, man. I got paid $75 that night, like, I think, for hosting. So price, 75 bucks.

That's it. And I'm fine. And I, it's, I would do, I would do that gift for free, but you're like, what do you? I'm, again, I'm not, I'm just. So when you got off the stage, he came up and made fun of your joke? Yeah. I was pretty upset about that.

Do you remember the joke? Yeah, it was the joke I had about, uh, if, uh, if, I, I don't have a gun in my house. I have like a knife or something in my, next to my bed. So if my, if a, but I, I have my wife sleep next to the door. So if someone broke in, I can shove her at it. And then it was something like that joke I'm not great at memory And the other ones

Like would I take a bullet for my wife That was it And I was like And I said yes Because how could I ever take a bullet That's pretty fast You know for a gun to be You can't like hear a gun go off

And jump in front of it It would hit her so quick So you're like I just would say Yeah I will take a bullet I'll take a bull for anybody Because I'm never going to be able Get in front of that bullet And that was like kind of the joke

And then he was like Well you're staying in front of When the person holds a gun you then get in front of her. He, like, just, like, he described it the way, like, my wife would describe it, make it, like, not fun. Like, the way you have, like, your parent would just be like, well, I don't know if it's going to work like that. You're like, yeah, it's a joke. We're just trying to have fun.

He just knows that the whole crowd's going to laugh because it's loose. Yeah, they laugh at, like, them making fun of me. And then you're like, and then you're just, like, sitting there, like, you know, I'm 27 years old, like, why would you, what do I have to do with anything? Right. Like, please leave me out of this. Yeah, you're, I'm just doing a spot, dude. I'm hosting. Hannibal was supposed to be on that show too, Burris,

and he didn't even show up to the first show. And he was hosting. And then, like, that was mad at that. I'll tell you, I was mad at the hole. Because then... Tough night. You start boiling a night. He actually got after me.

I'm like, I'm here. Yeah. We, Hannibal didn't show up. Like, I did, like, a little more time. Yeah. Because Hannibal would show up, and you're still making fun of me. This was Hannibal was, like, starting to... Because I started with Hannibal.

And Hannibal was, like, he started writing for Estinel at this point. He was on 30 Rock, I think. Or writing for 30 Rock, man. Hamble's great. And so he was, like, starting to, like, really kind of blow up. And we were, and I was just, you know, still at the bottom. So I didn't care for the whole thing. But now it's been fine.

I've never told Louis that. But why would I? Hopefully he watches the show. I got him. You're, like, texting Hannibal. You know this is going to happen? Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, you guys fucking had it out for me, huh? Dude. Yeah. Hannibal. Well, Hannibal was late because of 30 Rock. But I just remember thinking, why, like, I'm the one here. Yeah. And I'm just getting trash.

He didn't say nothing to Hannibal? If I wasn't here, there'd be no one else but you on the show. Yeah. No, he didn't say anything to Hannibal. He was excited to Hannibal was on the show. Because Hannibal was, like, again, starting to kind of rise up and do good. So it was like, it was cool to have Hannibal. Were you thinking your head at that time I'm never doing this again? No, I mean, you would use that.

I mean, honestly, I would use it for, like, I hate this dude and, like, I will make sure he knows me. Right. Like, honestly, not to act like a brag and things. or anything. But in your head at the moment, I would always just flip it to like, all right, I'll be positive that you know.

And he would never, Louis would never remember any of this. As he probably should, he shouldn't remember it. I was really, there's no reason he would know me at the time. You know what I mean? Like,

I don't expect. But these are moments that I would use. I was so mad about the situation. And then you're like, all right, all right. Well, then this is where I'm at in comedy. So I need to be,

get to a level that, like, I'm not going to get treated like this. And so you just use that drive to like... A chip on your shoulder. Yeah, yeah. Telling yourself whatever you can. Whatever, yeah. Make sure that, hey, people will know someday.

Let him laugh now. Yeah, someone other person could probably look at that situation and be like, dude, he said he liked you and made... He was making a funny joke at the beginning about you. It was all very sweet. In my head, it's like, I mean, it's Armageddon. I'm like, right. But someone else could be like, no, he was being nice.

What are you talking about? Like, I could have read the whole situation wrong. But I did. And I read it the way I read it. And then you just kind of go, all right, I'm going to grind it. Man, I wonder what you were feeling during his whole, what if he did an hour or whatever?

Just kind of sitting there and slowly, like that seed of anger started. Oh, by the end of that hour, it had to be a full plant. Like, you had to be fucking ready. Oh, I was like, yeah. I mean, I think I did one more show. We were doing a show for his school,

for his daughter's school, like a fundraiser. So, because he was at, we were at Carolines and he wouldn't be, Because, I mean, he's at this point. He's doing Mass Square Garden. So he's just doing this for a fundraiser. And so, yeah, I mean, it all built in. I mean, I sit there and watch him, though, too.

Like, I mean, obviously, he's unreal. Like, so he was like, you know, you're sitting there watching him. And that's, you know, that's part of you that would hurt. It's like, because it's like the dude. You're, like, sitting there going, like, that's the main guy. Like, Burr, I always had much. Burr was very nice to me and would say things and, like, be very. So you just would have, like, little parts of,

you know, where you got treated by this person. And I'm not trying to reflect on what they are now or anything, but it was like, these were little things that you'd be like, they really stick with you.

Yeah, who somebody now might be Bill Burr, but who is a comic or a couple of comics that have been like the most encouraging that you actually think about back then when you're younger and building these chips on your shoulders

and people who've kind of pulled you aside or giving you any kind of advice or something more. It's like, man, this really stuck with me. This comic might have no idea of Bill Burr. This stuck with me throughout my entire career. Yeah, Burr was a big one because Burr, I remember Burr, he told me, again, it was at Caroline's. And because we'd go watch Burr, like, before he blew up.

And it'd be like, you could go sit in the back of the room and watch because it wasn't sold out. And then I remember the next year, it was, it was like they wouldn't even let us come in the room because it was too sold out. And, like, so, but Burr, like, just when he knew your name, when he, like, you knew he knew you. And it was a really big. deal. And then I remember him saying, like, look, it, uh, it takes the route that guys like us go, it takes us a long time, but you gain fans and you gain fans for life. And I remember, and I always thought about that throughout my whole career, like how, like, you know, like this buildup, it's a day, I've been in coming 20 years. And, uh, it's all just like a slow,

like kind of just always going up. Not a bad thing. But it can be frustrating. It doesn't happen as fast as another one someone said was like it's not as it's uh not as fast as you want but quicker than you think like and so you had these moments that just like it kind of takes a slow kind of thing and you got to just kind of grind it out and so yeah burr was a big part of that had marin marin uh was very nice to me and uh foul and obviously did a lot of stuff for me and uh so there's just a world of people that end up you know doing things that are very they're just nice to to you or they see it and they go like, you know, this dude's like the real deal and you're, you know, you just need that little confidence that.

Right. Just that like a little bit of validation. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. You want the validation from your peers. I mean, that's all that really matters is what other comics. Yeah, man. At the beginning that you feel like, what do they think of us, you know?

Right. Is that process different though when you, like, you've been doing it for 20 years. You see a guy's been doing it for maybe five or six years and they're trying to accelerate their career. Do you ever sit with those guys and be like, hey, just take your time? Some dudes are, you know, trying to do too much too early. I think a lot, I think sometimes people can do, they can go to, they can do too much stuff that's like, you know, they're like, I'm going to do sketches, I want to do a podcast,

I'm going to do stand-up, I'm going to do improv. And it's like, well, go be great at one thing. If you can be great at one thing, you can do all the other things. But you have to, you can't just be kind of fine at a, bunch of things. You need to really learn how to be great at one thing. And then you know how to be great at other things because you know what it takes to become great

or really good at one thing. So I think sometimes, like, younger comics can spread themselves out and there's too much stuff that they're trying to do. So you can see that. I'm a big, like, younger comics, like, I'm a big, I'm a big act person. Like,

there's a lot of crowd work stuff. I know, look, I have no, people can do crowdworks. It's easiest to post content on social media is a crowd work and stuff like that. But I'm creating an act is a, if you can create an act, it's, it's the best thing you can do. And it's, it's the most reliable. And it's, when people come see you and deal live show, they, I mean, they want to see an act. They want to see a whole kind of thing.

And stand-up is in such a great spot right now where, like, we're doing arenas. And they're doing, there's a lot of comics doing arenas and doing these big kind of venues. and stand-ups in a pretty wonderful spot. And, you know, guys are selling out and doing big things. And so it's, you want them to be, like, the exhausting part. You got to create an act. You got to constitute stuff. Coming up with stuff on the fly, like, you look at, like, Shane.

Like, I know you are, you know, with Shane Gillis. Like, Shane Gillis is, like, I haven't seen someone like Shane in a long time. And he's unbelievable as a comedian. seen him, like, I know what his next special is going to be. And it's like, it's going to be great. And he's seen it. I mean, I've seen the hour he's run. I didn't see the taping.

Yeah, we saw him in Vegas. It was, dude, I really, I think he's one of the best. You feel the smiles creeping up on our faces the minute you said Shane. Yeah, yeah. That's how, like, we've. I mean, so Shane is, yeah, like, I mean, I, uh, Shane's, I wasn't really there when Shane was there. I don't, I think I was gone.

I've been no comedy forever. Shane's also Remind her how old I ain't Like when you used to realize like I mean he's been in a comedy for a little bit now And He was just he was like I remember hearing about him when he first came out

He would go out with Dan Soder a lot Another comic that's a unbelievable comedian That's uh Soder's really hitting the road now Soter is a great comedian that if you go watch Like me and Soter are very close friends And like he's friends with Mike McDaniels Soder is and uh but Soters like

Was doing the bonfire with Big J and then now he's doing comedy, he's really going to go hit the road really hard. So Soder, like, that's what you got to do. Like, you've got to go on the road and you got to just stay in these, and build this stuff up. And if you build, these are guys

that if you build these acts, and they will, because their acts are going to be, you start producing hours. If you look at Louis or Carlin or Chris Rock or all this kind of stuff, you know, you're building these hours that you can go specials. Gaffin's just putting out a new special,

I think it's coming out this week, maybe. It's just 10th hour. You know how hard it is to write 10 hours of material? It's basically impossible. There's no one that's really, you know, that can do it. The limited amount that can do it, it's a very small group. And so it's like, go try to be in that group. Like that's what I look at, like, Stam, try to be in that group to go produce stuff.

That's why I think some people get, it's hard to do. It's tiring. And so then you can flip into slide into this other stuff. where it's like whether it be like if your whole act becomes i'm not trying to crack i'm not trying to craft i some people are so great at crowdwork but if your whole act becomes that then it's like you're not really creating you know it's like you're just i think you get stuck right versus if you build an act i think an act can go because people want to go watch a show i mean you can't go really in an arena and just be like sitting in the top watching a guy get made fun of you know in the

front row that's not going to yeah come across as yeah fun for that person up at the top so there's only as big as it can get, I think. And so, like, the ones that are creating the acts. Because you're never actually, like, working on something. Yeah. You're going to your next show thinking, like, you're not, like, write, I don't know, I'm assuming, like, you're just not writing things down or trying to work on bits and be like, I'm going to go take it here.

You're just leaning on the fact that you can do crowd work really. Yeah, you can go sit and, like, yeah. And, I mean, that stuff's super fun. I mean, it's like, and guys are really, really great at Big Jay Orkison's, un, Big Jay is one of the funniest people I've ever met in my entire life, and he's the best. and he does all, like he does it and not, and it, but Big JAS can tell stories and he's so great at stories

and all this stuff. So it's, uh, I always, those people think I'm trash, I trash crowd work more than most people. But I'm, I just see with younger, I just hope that some still, like that's why I was so great seeing Shane. And like when I saw Shane for the first time, I came, he came to Zanis and I went down and watched him before I really knew him.

And, but I've heard about him, We've kind of like said what's up. And I watched him and I was like, oh man, this is crazy, dude. This is like, and it was, and I got very excited because it was like, yeah, yeah, dude. Like this is, this dude's going to be, you know, obviously he's super funny in this situation, all that. But he has an act and he goes up with an act and goes out and destroys. I mean, we saw him in Charleston. And it was like, dude, I mean, they stand up and you could.

just get his standing ovation immediately. Like you can just tell people are so excited to see him. And he's so fun and funny. And it just feels different. And it's like it doesn't feel serious. And I think comedy's going that way back, that way, which is a good thing where it's comedy that's like being like, yeah, dude, I'm not, no one's trying to tell you what to do or, you know,

Shane's not telling you how to vote. He's not telling you how to do any of this stuff. It's like just being funny. And like, anybody can watch it. Anybody can like just, you know, it's like, I'm just having fun, man. Not everybody. Not everybody. I had a close...

That's the boy, dude. Yeah, he's the boy. But we saw his stand-up in Austin shortly after he came on the bus for the first time. We really didn't know about Shane. Like, we knew he got fired from S&L. We knew he was a comedian on the Up and we're like, hey, we're excited to have him.

He crushed it on the podcast. He was so funny. So then we took the time to go watch his YouTube special in Austin. And it is... I'm by myself laughing my ass off. And so I go to Arizona and see this family that I lived with. Yeah.

And one, like, the dad is, you know. Fox News Dad. He's a Fox News dad. Yeah. And his bit about Fox News Dads, I was like, hey, you've got to watch his stand up. And I put it on. And in the first five minutes is him essentially making a fun of Fox News Dads and like the wall and all that.

And I'm laughing still. It's like the fourth or fifth time I've watched it. And he doesn't laugh, doesn't make a noise. And he just grabs the controller and goes, let's watch something else. And literally turns it off without taking a vote from anybody else. I thought, man, you got to open. up. He got to open it up a little bit.

I told him that a dozen times, like, you've got to rewatch it. But then I'll rewatch it and then I'll hear the Trump stuff. And I'm like, maybe he shouldn't watch it. Maybe he shouldn't drive into that. You're gay. Yo, what do he does that? Sit down.

You're gay. Bro, the military bit that he does with the Taliban. When people get to see that, you were with him at Zanis a couple weeks ago, right? Yeah, I bet the people at Zanis were so fired up because he had hit us up. It was after the year Olympics. Yeah.

He's like, hey, after. Yeah, the day after. We're recovering. and he's like, hey, Nate and I are going to, we're going to go on at Zanis at, like, 930 or 1030 or something like that. I was like, oh, man, like I'm, like, I'm, like, you're, like, I'm, like, I'm fucking, I'm hurt, bro. He was bruised up probably prime telling you about. He was, he kept showing us. He kept showing us his body.

That's more on him, though. I know, but I saw him because you tackled him or something in the pool. The choking photo. Yeah. And like, it's like, y'all just don't, like, realize, like, because Shane's big, too, but he's not, like, strong like, y'all. And so I feel like he gets beat up. It's like a big dog. Like it's a dog that you're like, that tries to play with

and then you're like, well, I don't know if I'd play with. He goes, don't go, don't go full on. You're like, I know it's a lot of Instagram, man. Just being on top of Shane. Because it started off if him like, you know, he gets there. He seems very unenthusiastic to be there. He's like, yeah, we're going to

get buried, whatever. It is what it is. He gets, he does one chug. Like, the first event was a chug. Yeah. And then after that, anytime he lost an event, he'd be behind me and Will just talking shit. Like, you guys are bad hosts. You guys are nasty. Quit being nasty. Will, they're all laughing at you. I'm going to remind you. They're all laughing at you when you chug your beer. So I go in one of the rooms and he's there talking shit sitting on a chair and he's like, you, dude, I'll beat your ass right now. So I start wrestling him.

And the whole rest of the day, like turned into that. And then he's talking about all the bruises. It's like, buddy, you got to get out in the sun if you don't want to bruise like that. Like he literally has Michelin Man type of skin. Is that what do you have to do? I mean, I feel like you gotta weather it up a little bit, right? Is that what you have to do? I think. Well, you say older dudes, you see older dudes, you're like, what does their skin look like? Leather's tough.

It's durable. It's reliable. It's like the Chevy Silverado. If you don't ever go out in the sun, like one little, hey, how you doing? A little slap on the lake, there's going to be a welt there. Luckily, Will, got some nice thighs, and he's got a little sun tan on there. Shane, just welted up easy. I feel like that you told him that.

Like that, I've never heard anything like that. It's funny like, well, you don't want to bruise it. just get on the sun right there. He just chomping the sun a little bit. He just burnt and then also bruised. He goes, that's all you got to do? Do you just make that up? I did.

I did essentially make that up. But it makes sense when you really think about it. Yeah, man, I guess it does. I guess it does. And then he got Chandler on me, dude. And Michael Chandler, I mean, he could stand up on this bus, no problem. I have plenty of room. Little or guy.

But he wrestled me in the pool and I almost drowned about six times. And the rest of the day, it was like he was being. Yeah, he's a little pit bull, man. He's a bit of. It was his right hand, man. It was his guard. Yeah. He's so strong.

Oh, dude. Chandler is just... And the best dude. The nicest guy. You're way too nice to be in the octagon like that. Yeah. I know. Yeah.

He's a wild thought. Lips, yeah. But he, like, enjoys it. We were at his house for Labor Day weekend last year. And his pool was, like four feet deep. Yeah. And it's the late night. Everyone's been drinking a little bit.

And I see somebody, something, dive into the pool. But their feet don't go in the water. So he essentially dove in the pool and hits his face and comes up. And I'm in the middle of a conversation with somebody. I look back and I'm, hey, Mike, did you just hit your face on the floor of the pool? And he's like, no, no, he's like laughing, just having a good time. And then all of a sudden, his face just starts bleeding everywhere. And I'm like, you got to go wipe your face.

Like, don't tell my wife. Don't tell my wife. And I was like, she's going to fine. Look at you. She's going to fight. You look like you just got done with a fight. Dude had a scab from forehead to chin. It's just a man.

Like, he's road rash. And he's like, help me out of the pool. So I literally grab him by his head. like right like here. And I just remember thinking he's just a fucking dense ball of muscle. That's all this fucking dude is. He's just so goddamn strong.

He's so strong. Yeah. And then he takes my big ass and throws me around the pool like a child. I was humbled. It was a humbling experience for me. That would be the people always wondered like a fight would be like you and him.

Would your size even anything out? If I had any training, I'm sure there'd be more of an even fight. Yeah. But no training, right? Just me? Yeah. No, I'm getting banked.

Yeah, he's going to absolutely take me. I've wrestled him and we'll. That spinning backfish you got there. You saw that. Yeah. We were in the octagon one time. I did sneak him with a spinning back fist. Luckily for him, I stopped. Yeah.

Because my eye had the awareness. But that would have probably taken him out. That would have taken him out. But he takes me at the ground. It's over. And he's going to get to these legs. It's not an issue at all. He's excited about it.

No, yeah. He sees these little sticks and he's like, I'm going to take advantage of those. For sure. Yeah, but the whole. Whoever was at Zanis, I mean, that was a surprise, right? Yeah, so we were hanging out because I knew he came down. Because I talked to Shane quite a bit. Like, Shane's going, not that, I just like talking to him because he's, I mean, he's,

I think he's very funny. And then, like, he's just where he's at his career. And it's starting to, like, really, I think after this next show, I mean, Shane's going to really be one of the top touring act. I mean, he already is a very top touring act. He's going to be one of the top. And so he's a good dude and just, so we were just in town

so we were hanging out just that day and then I was like I've been kind of wanting to go up and then I was like do you want to go up and then he's like yeah so we're like let's just see and then so we

you know it was one that people I don't think expected me and Shane to do something and then so we just called Zanis and they were like yeah and they put it on selling it sold out immediately which we both you never get used to that

you're both like in your head like is this going to sell it like you think like there's no way he thought I swear. You have a moment. Dude, you just, you know when you put yourself out there a little bit and you're like, what if it doesn't? Imposter syndrome. Yeah, like, yeah. And you think like, you're like, all right, me and Shane going to do a show. And then everybody's like, we're good. I mean, because it was in like, let me make a call. Like 4.30 and the show's at 9. Or 9.30. How quickly did it sell out? I think in 50, in like 10 minutes. It was like, oh.

If you're going to, yeah. You're in Nashville. You got to catch that. You're fired the fuck up getting to watch Shane and you. I want to do it again because it's like the people that I, uh, we went in there. Actually, we had to did some work. I needed to, I needed to like kind of run my hour and like pull some. I needed to figure out some time stuff with my hour. And then Shane just went up there. And but we went up there together at the end. And that's what I think people like the most is just me and him on stage hanging out and talking.

And so, I mean, yeah, I hope we talked about we want to do it again. Like it was, because we both really enjoyed it. And, uh, I really like him. and he's a great, I mean, he's a truly great, great comment. Possibility, you guys torn together? No, I mean, the only thing, I'm clean. So it's like, I couldn't, the audience that comes to see me, even though a lot of people that would see me, love Shane,

but I wouldn't, I mean, my kids can come to my show. Like, it's all ages. So it's, I wouldn't want to put that much, you know, like someone, if, that's the hard part of being clean. You're kind of on your own and the fact that, like, I, there's only so many. I mean, the comics that bring out with me, not that they're all, they're not all clean outside of, of me, but they have to be clean when they come do

my shows. So outside of that, it's, like, kind of hard to be like, because it's like my crowds are, I just can't, I just really can't do it. But, so it's like, that's why a situation like that, where we just like, kind of pop on last minute. Yeah.

Is, because then, you know, I think it's people that are comedy fans and. Right. They completely understand that this is like an anomaly of Nate and Shane coming out there. Yeah, it's not like there's, versus like, you know, I might have an entire, my real. show, like, there's a be an entire family coming to bring their grandparents, the grandchildren.

And I'm going to be like, eh? They're ready for Shane? And I think they think we'll find Shane very funny. But they also might be like, we didn't expect to hear all those words. Dude, we had that situation this past weekend. The last ad read of the day, and that is Duke Cannon.

We'd like to talk to you about your shower game for a minute. Here's the fact. The body washer you using right now is weak, water down, and probably smells like a JV locker room. Simply put, it's just not getting the fucking job done. The boys need a shower with substance after a hard day's work, and that's why we use thick, high viscosity body wash from Duke Cannon. Thicker is better.

Don't let them lie to you. Thicker is better. Duke Canaan's thick body wash is built to work hard, not spew down the shower drain. All of the scents are amazing, but my personal favorite is midnight swim. It smells like a cannibal dipped into a moonlit lake, not a dip into the hot tub at a starlit motel.

As always, I do like the dry ice. That's good. It's just, especially in these hot summer days, man. It really keeps you cool in the right times. Also, they have a little rub on cologne. They just dab on the neck right there, put that on your wrist. You're going to smell great all day. It lasts way longer than the actual sprits and sprays.

You have to try Duke Canner. So for a limited time, we're hooking the boys up with 20% off. Your first order at Duke Cannon.com with code the Boys 20. That's 20% off when you use code the boys 20 at Duke Cannon.com. Duke Cannon, work harder, smell better. And now with that said, back to this episode. With what? Kittlefest and Laser.

Yeah. You know who Uncle Laser is? I think I've heard his name. He's a comedian out of Austin, Texas. Yeah. He's hilarious. And I went and saw him at Zanis a few weeks ago. And it's all, you know, pussy, eating ass.

It's dirty as a gay. Single mom jokes. Young Gun. Like, yeah, exactly. So Kittle meets Laser at Beer Olympics and reaches out the Lasers. Like, hey, I have Kittle Fest coming up. Would you like to come to it and do something? some stand-up, like 10 minutes. And Lasers, like, absolutely, I'll go. And so once I caught wind of this,

I caught wind of it at the party. And I have seen his stand-up. And it's, you know, me and Will are there. A bunch of our friends are there. But there's also his aunts, his uncles, his grandparents. Like, there's an older crowd as well, buttoned up wearing their Sunday best type of stuff at a frat party, essentially. I told him, I was like, brother, have you heard Lasers stand up? He's like, no, you go, all right. Okay. And he's the first person to go up. And dude, it was probably the most mixed review thing I've ever watched in my life. Because there's like me and Willer laughing. I'm literally like probably standing there like smiling doing this.

I mean, it's for a crowd that's, you know, rips marbles and wears NASCAR. You know what I mean? Like it's... They're not scared of hearing the language, but then some people are, can be surprised at how dirty something can actually get. Yeah. Brings out us for Monica.

It talks about one's the pussy and one's the ass and that's how he learned to eat out chicks. And I'm just looking at the grandma. And she's like, yeah. She's looking like, leans over her husband like, do we... He's got the harmonica playing that they gets him out of the can just get you out of shit. You just hit some harmonica.

All right. Dog, it was so funny because he didn't hold back. He didn't look at the crowd and go, I should probably tighten a couple things up. He went full bore right into it. There's no doubt that I fully believe his eyes glazed over and he knew the situation he was in.

He's like, I just got to fucking get through this. Just got to own it. Yeah. Just got to run it. Yeah. I mean, somebody you get, you're like, it is what you do. So it's like, just go do what you do.

And then, you know, they either get their laugh or they won't. What was the choice for you to go clean? I just started that way Like it was just how You know Grows up in the South Southern Christian Like well I wasn't allowed to watch anything That stuff like that

And so my Yeah Friday 13th Yeah We saw that We were watching some of your bits before That shit was hilarious Yeah yeah I wasn't allowed to watch

And there's so many movies I've missed Because I just was never allowed to watch them I never watched South Park Yeah And I still have I know I never watched it When we weren't allowed to watch the Simpsons That was a big deal when I was young.

Simpsons came out. It was like, because Bart was like against authority. Like, it's like a lot of parents didn't like that it was like this kid. That's nuts. Did your dad watch the Simpsons? No. No, no one did. It'd be like Sunday night football's over.

Simpsons come on. Yeah. No, it was, yeah, it was just very, I mean, I just when I grew up, it was just a lot. It was just different. The South was pretty strict and, like, what you could do. I mean, you couldn't dance. I went to Donaldson Christian Academy. that they did we didn't have a prom we had like a banquet and then you couldn't dance because it was

like dancing was not and it wasn't like the parents don't believe dancing is bad they believe dancing is bad but it's like you just would have you know back then i mean an 80 year old in 1997 that she thinks dancing's bad so you're kind of like not doing it to be like kind of you can get a little space leave some room for the lord yeah you just go well we would we could you could go the parents would then rent they would rent out of room and everything and and then everybody could have like more of a prom dance kind of after. You would do a banquet, like it's kind of a proper thing for like, you know, those older people to be like, oh, we're not, you know.

And then you go do the dance thing. Yeah. You know, so it's like I grew up, you just grew up under those like standards. So it's like I just started, I just started clean. And then I was always clean. And then, you know, once you start, it's like kind of just the only way I go now. Did you've had a glow up about you? I remember seeing you in NASCAR and you had that,

Your haircuts not that way, but you were laced up with a skin fade. Yeah. Compared to years past. I mean, your stand-up a couple years ago, the way you were a couple years ago, you've aged very well. Your skin, I've noticed the entire time. It's phenomenal. But you're like, you were like one of the dads where you show up at the barbecue and you're like, oh, hey, Nate's here, this would be a fun time.

Now it's like, you show up at the barbecue. I hate Nate's here. You guys, he's pretty fucking big time. I'm going, no bread. Yeah, what's the glow up been like for you? I'm not fun. I brought my own food. Don't work.

You know, Nate, you don't talk to. anymore. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's been, I mean, the whole, you know, my whole run, I'm 44, so I quit drinking in 2019. And a big part of that was like, I was just getting, I knew I was like starting to go to the theaters and all this stuff. I knew if I wanted to get where I wanted to go, I couldn't drink. Like, I wasn't able to, when I drank, it's like, it's not like I just drank at home or did all these things. Some people can drink and they, you might think you don't have.

problem because you're not like you go a week without drinking but it's like I didn't when I started I didn't know how to stop and like all that stuff and so I knew when I'd go on the road it's like I'd start Thursday night would be a fun night out at a club but then you drink that night and then you're just hung over the rest of the weekend so then you're then you're just trying to get through the shows because you don't feel great and so I was like if I need if I want to produce the material that I want to produce and tour and all that I needed to stop that so that was that was the when the first one happen because I just stopped drinking. And so, I mean, just literally drinking will just help a lot of things.

I still don't eat great. And I'm trying, now that's the second one I'm trying to overcome because it's like being on the road again. It's like hard on your body. You kind of got to treat it like not an, like not a full athlete, but as both y'all, but it's like half of an act. You have to somewhat be so mentally you can handle all the things that you have to go do. And so you can be in good moods.

and be fun and not be like just on edge all the time and all this. So I'm trying to work on that as well. But yeah, we had a good time. I mean, the whole beginning of it, yeah, there was a lot of drinking. I mean, me and Hannibal said we, because I don't think he drinks anymore. I don't know if he does now or not, but he didn't a few years ago. And we were talking about it. Hannibal said something that always stuck with me.

He was like, you know, he goes, I look at it. He's like, we put up some good numbers because we did good. Because a lot of times you quit drinking, and everybody thinks like, why, you're not being fun. You're like, no, I did all, I did what you're doing right now. I did, I already did all this. You just weren't, you were not old enough to be there, but you're like, I already went and did all this.

And it was a fun time. And I had a great, I bet. And then you just hit a point where you get older and you're like, about 40, you start going like, all right. You're like, I mean, just stuff starts hurting. Like, you just, you're like, I can't wake up and feel like this every day. Like, this is brutal. Yeah.

It's a brutal feeling. That fog. That fog is terrible. But it's the most fun. During it for sure. During it is the most fun. I mean, seeing y'all's beer Olympics like that looked like it's a wonderful, wonderful time. It was awesome.

It was so much fun, man. You ever want to come out of retirement for a day? Yeah, I know. You're more than welcome next year. Yeah, there's always moments where you're like, you know, I hung out with this weekend that I feel like could get you not to, but it's football because I did the American Century Championship. John Elway. We're meeting John Elway. Who's back?

John Elway is a good time. Oh, yeah. And I was telling Dan, so does a giant John Elway fan. He's from Denver. And I was, like, telling Dan, I was like, John Elway could make you quit drink, come out of retirement and drink. Because Dan doesn't drink either.

And because he's like just like a good, like you're like, this dude's the most fun. And you don't think, have you met him? No. I never met John, but I hear a bunch of stories. You don't think he's going to be like, he's going to be. His son is awesome too.

Son's a big Shane Gill's fan. his son's great, big comedy fan. I'm a very big fan of you guys. Does Shane know that his son's a big Shane Gillis fan? I think so. I don't know. You know Shane knows. Yeah.

Shane nuts over football players. Yeah, yeah. You know, legend's like John. But he was like someone that you're like, you know, this dude's the bad. I mean, you just think he's going to be stoic like this. I don't know. It's John Elway. So you just think he's going to be like, you'll meet him.

He was like, how are you doing? Businessman. And you're like, this guy is a good time, man. Just like, what, a lot of charisma? A lot of charisma, like laughs a lot. You say anything, he's laughed at it, fun. Like, you just feel like you're going to just be with him and he'd be like, you're like, yeah, he's like,

they take the boat out and you're, I didn't go on the boat, but he's like, he's talking about it. He showed you the boat, though. He showed me the boat. He mentioned a boat. I think I could have gone out on this boat. But it was just like, it was just like a very surprising meeting someone that you're like,

oh, dude, you're not what I thought. Like, you realize Peyton Manning going to Denver, you're like, yeah, dude. Yeah, put anybody in a room with John Denver. John L.A., you're going to be like, yeah, I'll go, dude. You're the best. That's fucking cool, man. Who else?

Who else have you met that's been like, oh, dude, you are fucking. Because that is the best feeling. Like, we talked about the people you meet, you're like, man, don't meet your heroes. But the people you meet and they're either exactly like you thought they would be or even better like you're saying, that's the best feeling in the world. Yeah, a lot of, like, cable guy is like that, Larry cable guy.

Larry's awesome. bro. Yeah. Man, you missed that on that. I would love to join you in that enthusiasm. He's obviously a massive Nebraska fan. So when we had one of our tailgates last year at Nebraska,

he came on the, we had the podcast out there at Nebraska, and he's just the nicest fucking dude, man. He's just so funny, just salt of the earth. Yeah. Exactly like what you kind of see on camera. And even better, just like you're hanging out with him.

Yeah, that's the part that you want is like when you can see, when you meet someone and they're like, super nice and they're just it seems like they're like I met Devante Adams this week and he was awesome he was like

kind of a funny dude like and just like kind of quiet and but just my experience with him which is very nice to talk to and like it was just super fun

Vrabel was there I met Vrabble's a good time yeah you see why you want to like you can see why you'd want to play for like you get it like that's what's interesting is like when you go

oh this is a why people like like you and want to play. Like, because you're like you're, he just feels like he'd be one of, he'd be you. Like he'd be like, if you played for him, you'd be like, he's just you. Yeah, there's a totally different dynamic though when you're his player. Okay. Like him now with us is great. Like we had him on the podcast very recently.

He came on yesterday. I know, but I'm trying to play because this comes out August 14th or whatever. Yeah, he came on a long time ago. Yeah. And the three of us have a group chat, me, Will and Braves. And it's our podcast. was every bit of that group chat. Like, it can be awkward at times.

It's funny at times. He gets serious. Like, he just, like, Reble's a guy that dictates how the conversation is going to go, especially when you're the player. Yeah. In the first year, we said 2018. He's got that alpha energy. And you could just tell, like, the dynamic, even on him on yesterday, you just, you know,

there's still those nerves of like, you know, is he? Yeah. We're growing mad. Yeah. Will's turning 333 this year, right? Yeah. Yeah. I literally turned 32 in less than a week.

Yeah. And we're, there's literally. nerves around being around another man like hey yeah but he can't hurt us anymore we can't there's nothing he can do we started joking about fighting then I really thought is he does he he's trying to legit like fight you for a second yeah yeah no but he is like a good time for able has got to be the best time yeah he's a guy's guy that dynamic you know I and but I've always like the New York comedy had a dynamic like that like you always like the people that started but that were the bigger comics above you and not even necessarily like fame

wise but just the you know there's guys that started before you. There's always, there's always like a respect that you're like, you know, like you're just, the older guys,

I remember Robert Kelly, Bobby Kelly, who does a podcast, there's a bonfire now with Big Jay. Bobby's like so funny. And, uh, but Bobby's like a guy that like, I feel like Bobby told me to go do something.

I would just have to go do it. Mm-hmm. Because he was, he's, you know, you just looked up to him so much. When he started out, open for him a lot and did this stuff.

So like the, I've always liked that. Like kind of like, in stuff. I think it's a good thing. Yeah. They're like a natural or just subtle power dynamic that happens. You just never really get beyond. Yeah, Kevin Hart talks about Keith Robinson. Like Keith Robinson is in New York comic.

That was like, you know, Jay, Big Jay and Kevin. And they, he did, he helped them a lot. And, you know, Kevin Hart's obviously the most famous person on the planet. And Keith is, most people would not know who Keith is. But I think Kevin's got to feel like a little, you know, it's like there's a little like, Keith could Keith can say whatever he wants to Kevin Like the situation

Of Rabel could sit down And say whatever he wants to you Whatever Like you're still gonna feel like You gotta just take it And like Yeah No question

And that hurts Like it hurts like it hurts to agree with that But it's totally true I got them pizza feed And I was like Yeah yeah he did say that to you Yeah And that was tough

Yeah Yeah Oh dude Who's somebody Who's somebody that you've met That you've been Absolutely fired up The fucking meat

I met Tiger Tiger Tiger Woods. That's a solid one. And that was... Before or after. After again, very humble, very cool. I'll tell you what, people just need a little...

People need a little... I can tell you, if you think someone's, like, getting a little too high on the horse... Yeah, there could be... I got the... You got the pill to make that all better. But he was... Yeah, he was awesome.

I mean, yeah, he just felt like... I did a corporate gig for the PGA or something. It was him and Rory were there. This was... And I... I didn't get to meet Rory. I would have liked to meet Rory. And I just didn't get to meet him.

But Rory seemed very nice. And then the Tiger was there, and I was kind of like, it'd be really cool to meet him. And the lady was like, yeah, we're having him. And he kind of came up. And I just got to briefly talk to him. And then we just talked about it. He went on the Tonight Show and talked about Fallon. And kind of quick, we got a, I got a picture like that's not just meeting him.

It was just taking picture of kind of the moment. Nice. The best kinds of candidates. Yeah. Yeah, where you're like, just take a bunch of pictures. Like, I don't want to ask. He's coming. Make sure you have your camera out.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And so that was, I mean, that was like one that I was like, you know, Jordan would be another one. But Tiger is probably the biggest for me because Tiger, I watched his whole thing. Like when he turned pro, I mean, he's 48 or nine or something like that. And I was just the age of like watching that guy's whole existence. So, yeah, Tiger was one that we was like, you're like, this is crazy, dude. Yeah.

I'd imagine meeting like Tom Cruise would be like that. There's like big ones. Yeah. Yeah. I got Tom Hanks. He's very nice. Yeah? He's his nice.

He's someone that you should want, you should meet. Tom Hanks? Yeah. One of the. He's like, he's like one though that you're like, go you like, if you, if there's like, if you saw him out and someone's like, you know, don't meet your hero. Like, you can go meet Tom Hanks. That dude's a good dude. Yeah.

He's a, he was a very, very nice. Very nice. I wonder what Tom Cruise is about. I wonder what his deal. I think I've heard. Scientology, right? Yeah. It's like, that's like, he does good movies and then Scientologist.

That's the thing. I'd be scared to meet him because I would probably become a Scientology. Have you been on, you've seen the Scientology building on 8th Avenue? No, I haven't. There's one right on 8th. You go down and every once in a while, there'll be a little thing out there that says free personality test. And I've been tempted to just pull over.

Yeah, there's a, there's a, I get nervous of signs. Like, they're good. And I think they go in there and you're like, all right, all right. Makes them. Yeah, they go. Yeah. If you just have any, which I think is how you should live, with any question of anything,

just question everything a little bit. And then you go into Scientology. And then Tom Cruise was in there, you're like, that dude's the most charming person. The people that have met him, I knew a guy that worked as a director and a writer, and they had him writing on one of the Mission Impossible a while ago. And they said that they told him,

when he when they met him they go look when you meet Tom they go just so you know you're going to think y'all are going to be best friends like that's how charming he is

is he's just he takes over and you are just like this dude's the best I love the way you're saying and you're like we might be hanging out every day of our life

and that's just what it's going to feel like because that's what he is it takes that kind of charm to be that and then they were he went to a hotel room in the top floor, they rented the whole floor out. You know, I mean, you can't, that guy, like, is a walking Walmart.

Like, he's a billion dollar. Like, you just, like, you have to be like, and I think he tries to, like, get on a motorcycle alone and just drive off. You're like, you're like the most important person alive, dude. You're all these movies, all this stuff. You can't just run away from us like that. Yeah. You know, like, when he gets on a motorcycle, like, just all of a sudden music starts playing,

too, like, as he drives off. Oh, right. So my buddy said he was sitting in, uh, he's, sitting in the hotel, so they tell him that. So Tom Cruise is here, and he's facing the window, and they're sitting on the couch looking at Tom. And they're talking about, like, all right, we'll go do this for Missionabot. And then Tom's kind of going to the whole thing.

And then they see Tom start to squint because the sun was setting. So the sun's coming in the window. And it's starting to squint. So then he says, Tom just pushes a button on, I don't even know. It might have been like an iPad or it might have been something. Pushes a button. Two people come in with sunglasses. He's got an option.

So they both have a pair, and he just looks and then grabs this pair and puts it on, but just keeps talking the whole time. And then never says, yeah, yeah, those are my sunglasses people, or whatever you should say, to go like, hey, what was that, dude? Like that. I like, I like diversion people. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Like, you're like, are they just back there?

Does that button just for sunglasses? Yeah. Like, you have people just for sunglasses? Or, like, how would they know? they came out of a room offered two persons and goes he's still talking and just goes puts it on they leave and then he still just keeps

going. You know like if you're in there and you just kind of like look around nobody says you got to ask I would feel like hey who were they? It's probably one of those moments where you look around you see everybody still dialed in you're kind of just too scared to say anything. He's scared to yet. I think he's taking over the situation and he's talking

so much and he's probably and he's into it because he's like doing these stunts he does all that stuff himself so he's like you know, and you're just kind of like caught up in it. And you might almost expect it, to be honest. You might sit there and go, yeah, yeah, that's what they should have brought him sunglasses. And that's insane that y'all made him push the button.

You should have just felt it. Somebody just got fired. Someone should have said, you know what? It's five o'clock. The sun's starting to set. Let's go be around Tom with sunglasses. And then you just get on that side. You could, I remember one time talking to the super rich dude that said like he was trying

by a house. And he said, you know, because. but the master bedroom only had one bathroom, and he said it like that, and I was like, what? Like, master bedrooms only, like, they have two full bathrooms. But in the moment when they say it,

you're like, yeah, dude, screw that house. Are you out of your mind? Why are you going to? How embarrassing is that that they build a house with just one bathroom? Yeah. In the master bedroom. It's a 30,000 square foot house.

Yeah. And he's like, they didn't have two bathrooms in the master bedroom. You're like, well, that's, I'm glad you didn't buy it. You know what? They deserve it. Yeah. They literally just say, like, Oh, man, that's, that's,

That's a good point. Yeah. You start realizing, like, my stupid house, I got one bathroom in the master bedroom, and I look like an idiot. I hope you got it never comes over. I hope, yeah. Yeah. You can't invite him.

Yeah, man, that's crazy. You look at the window. Yeah. I got to change my bathroom. Yeah, I didn't even know that was a possibility to want two bathrooms in a mat. Like, that's a dream that you're like, I didn't even know you're, I could have that dream. But now, I'll think about every day. I don't know, like two full bathrooms?

When I look at it. Two bathtubs, two showers? In the master bedroom. That doesn't make any sense. That's unpractical. And next time you look at your dumb wife, brush your teeth next to you, you're like, you should be in your own bathroom.

And you're just furious. Like you go, what are we doing? All scramed in here. Pissed off. Yeah. You got a serious sink. Ma'am. We got a...

I know. I feel like we're running. I know. We have a heart side of the five. Yeah, yeah. Boys, how we doing? I'm interrupting this episode all the way from Canada to present our dude wipe's shittiest moment segment.

This moment right here. Look back here. Golden Hour. filming a segment how incredible is that are you still using toilet paper because if you are you're in the stone ages dude drop the teepee and pick up dude wipes the wet extra large flushable wipe that clears instead of smears wiping wet just cleans better than wiping dry get confidently clean with dude wipes dude you can pick up these dude wipes on amazon or walmore and target nationwide now let's get back to this episode you guys have a day because look at this we're having a hell of a day over here for our dude wipes question yeah partnered with dude wipes what is the

shittiest moment of your career? There's been a bunch. I bombed on a cruise once. And so you're on the boat with these people. I remember I had to do three shows. And so I'd do the first two shows. One show goes, the point, when you would do them, you'd have to do three shows of half an hour.

So you'd have to do a half hour clean, half hour dirty, and then you'd have another show that's like a half hour. And so this is a show actually that a lot of crowdwork, comics that can do crowdwork are very good at because it's like that's kind of the best thing because you can just go talk to the crowd. Every crowd's different. Every show is different because you're talking to the crowd.

But for me, I didn't have like enough. I'm not a crowdwork person. I don't know how to do it. And then I'm not great at it. And then I only add material. So I go do it and like I just bomb like, because they've all. heard the jokes because I've only had like basically an hour so I split them up into the two of those

30 minute shows and then in the third show I was like well maybe those people won't come back well they come back and they just and I wrote I remember after show I wrote an elevator with uh guys and they were saying they were like yeah there there's just two comics and they go this one comic was great the other guy they loved them and on me they go that other guy is like not good and I mean I'm my shoulder is touching that man who's saying that but I have like my hat on and not they even know me so That was a pretty tight. Like, I was in, I was in an elevator in the ocean. I think it's a moment that you would think you'd be happy.

And it's, it just, I mean, I'm just, and I just got off whatever floor was the next floor. I just walked off. God, that would be brutal. He's talking about being on a cruise ship. He did some shows. And he bombed. And he's on the elevator. And the guy, the gentleman next room, there's a, you know, a crowd on the elevator.

He's wearing a hat so they can't, they don't recognize who he is. They're talking about how, you know, this one comic, they loved them. And they're like, but that last one, like, he just wasn't very good. And he said, he's just standing there. He's got to be tough. That's tough. Do you ever get over that?

Yeah, you remember. I mean, it's always funny afterwards because you're like, you're glad it happens. Like, you're glad in the sense that it's a funny story to tell. Like, you know. But, yeah, it's pretty tough. I'll tell you, one of the ones that hurt me the most was I auditioned for Last Comic Standing when Gerardo hosted. and Craig Robinson was on it

because he had his, he had Craig Robinson had a movie, very funny joke that Geraldo said, Craig Robinson had the movie a hot tub time machine and so right when you see he goes, I got a new movie Hot Tub Time Machine,

and Gerardo goes, oh, what's it about? This is very funny. Because obviously it's about a hot tub time machine. There's no way to describe it, but a hot tub time machine. So when I auditioned for that, I did not get it.

And I always thought like being clean, I was like, I'm going to get like all the, you know, I'm the only one clean. Yeah. So like I can do this stuff and I didn't get it. And I never got close with last conversation. And that was a one that that was like a one that was like it hit me and my like it hurt. It really hurt because you just think like, all right, I'm going to go on this show.

I'm going to do this. You kind of get your career kind of mapped out a little bit. You think all this stuff's going to happen and then it just doesn't happen. Another chip for the shoulder. Yeah. It's just another. But, man, when it, you know, when you're in it, you're like, what am I doing, dude? Like, it's so fresh, you know.

Yeah. Then our last one, sponsored by Twisted Tea. All right. The best. It's unfortunate you don't drink anymore because those things right there. Yeah. I missed the whole, that kind of thing, the seltzer kind of thing. IPAs being introduced was my, that was, IPAs were my final.

That was when it was like, I got a final adult state. need just IPAs. Yeah. That's when I was like, I got to go. Start talking about hops and how things taste in here. So I don't even know how it's all made, but IPAs have so much alcohol. And then so if you drank them like Bud Lights, you know, it's like, it's just like I got caught up in that where you're like, you're having, you're just getting smashed and like

blacked out. When IPAs started becoming around, that was the end. That's when I was like, all right. That's going to fit perfect into this question, dude. Boys, what's happening. It's me interrupting the episode again from Canada. But this time is to interrupt. produce our Twisted Tea question brought to you by Twisted Tea, the smoothest, hard ice tea out there.

You see this lake behind me? You think I'm going to walk around this lake, not strapped to the goddamn gills without some tweez on me? Everywhere I walk here in Ktown. People are like, hey, yo, Luwan, let me get some tweez. Let me get some tweez. I'm just slinging them out there, dude. And there's ripping those things out there like a gun, brother.

Bullets, bullets, bullets, bullets, but they're tweez instead. Have a day, dude. Grab a refreshing Twisted Tea. And let's get back to this episode. Have a day, boys. Our question for you. Mm-hmm. drunkest you've ever been.

Were the scariest just eat you up and you're like, man, I got to fucking correct. You wake up the next day. You have to dim the lights. Get a quill and some ink out, dude, and write some freehand poetry while the candles are lit. That type of stuff. I mean, some of this I've talked about in my act. So usually anything that I've already talked about it was, I mean, one was at, I guess, an Indian casino or Native American casino.

Uh, canceled. Washington football team casinos. Washington football. Why didn't they keep Washington football? Dude, I know it's the best one. The commander sucks, no. Washington football. I was like, you made you think, well, every team, we should be the Tennessee football team.

Yeah. I was like, these things are all stupid. Makes it easy. Yeah. But so I went to that, and I remember it was like a three-hour drive from Phoenix. And so I was out in Arizona, I drove to this casino to do this whole one-nighter. I mean, this is, you know, I'm nobody. and make no money.

Hawkingstick Resort. I wish. This was not even that. I think I did some other kind. It was like, it was something I was making $150. But it was like, you know what? I'll just go drive to the middle of nowhere, Arizona, and then go back to Phoenix and then fly home.

So I go out and I was like, oh, it'll be fun. And, you know, I'm thinking, like, I'll just go to bed early, get up, have a nice drive back. Because I'm like, I'm not going to be hanging out with anybody. And then so we get doing the show that I'm hanging on the casino, then you just end up meeting, like, some fun dudes. And next thing you know, it's like, it's five in the morning. And I'm just trying to go to bed.

I got to get up at, like, eight to drive three hours back. So I get up and I'm driving back. And I mean, I'm so, I feel so awful. And when I have this in my joke. I said, I walked out of the casino, and there's like a wolf. Like, and this really happened. There's a wolf. Like, in my past,

path to go to my car in the parking lot and just sitting there staring at me. And I was like, you know, like, I don't know what this is. Like, it made me really, dude, and I swear it was a wolf. And so I was like, this is insane, you know, because I was like, I don't, you know, what is that? Is it a wolf? Is it the guy I hung out with last night? I don't know. Right. And so I went, twilight. Yeah, he turned into a wolf. And now he's like, good days. So I just went back inside And I remember I just rolled my stuff back in the casino And I just stood there

I'm not talking to anybody And I just kind of stood inside for a second And then I went back out And then the wolf was gone And so then I went to my car And then I drove back And then when I was driving back I'm in the middle of nowhere

Arizona just on a road alone And a helicopter lands in front of me And picks up like a life support Some guy on the side of the road And then takes him in front of the road and then takes them and flies. And I have to wait for that to happen. And so, and I'm so hungover that I'm like annoyed.

I'm like, here we go. Like, you know, I mean, I've never had to stop for helicopter. In my life, I don't expect to ever do it ever again. And I handled that moment hung over just like, and look at this. Every day. Every day. Every day there's something. There's something.

I'm not, I should have video of this. I should have pictures. I didn't do anything. of that. I just was like, yeah, we, I was like, can I get around him? Like, it's a, I mean, he's just in the middle of it. There's no buildings. There's just me, this helicopter, there's five of us. And it's the helicopter people, that guy and me. And, uh, and then finally it took off and I kept driving. And so that was like, uh, that was a tough one. That was, all that happened. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, it was, it was the day after.

It feels like so far away now But yeah I do believe that all that stuff happened And that was stuff like when I drank Because I talk about that in my special And like on one of my special or something But it's yeah Those are moments that you're like
