I've worn a lot of hats, but podcasting has been my favorite thing.
We had like Laird Hamilton on.
He's a big wave surfer.
I would just see him in movies as a kid.
And then he's just on our podcast.
I'm like, how is this?
It's nuts.
Yeah, I'm like, how does this happen?
Where I watched him for years.
I'm like, wait, I'm sitting next to someone that was on my fantasy football team in high school.
You're having a conversation with them.
You're like, oh, this is just like a normal person.
Wherever you guys are watching this show,

Thank you guys for supporting.
And here's the episode.
All right, guys.
We got Chad from Chad and JT.
My man, how's it going?
Good, man.
Thanks for having me. Congrats on the show, dude. Oh not every guy gets a netflix show yeah that was uh it was
crazy it was a long process too because um right before we were about to shoot uh covid hit so we
had to wait like a year and a half we like wrote everything out damn then we were like literally
we were like a week away from shooting and And then we go like city councils a lot.
Yeah.
And that was like, we were starting to go to city councils for the show.
And, uh, and then like, we were seeing like the cities talk about COVID more and more.
And then like, it was like the day Tom Hanks got it.
And we like bailed on our speech cause they were like crying.
And then we, uh, and then, yeah, then production, they were like, yeah, we uh and then yeah we did then production they're
like yeah we can't shoot yeah that was a scary time especially in your industry man you didn't
do shit for like two years dude yeah it was uh you know because we all i remember like we were
all like oh by may we'll be cruising and then kept pushing it back month by month man yeah yeah i
think we all got together and we're like enough of this let's let's start going out totally and also it all feels like a blur now i don't know about for you but like that does
yeah i kind of forgot about most of it but it was a dramatic time period just stuck in your
i was in an apartment at the time super tight like for two years in there totally yeah i remember
like this that first like month i was just making mac and cheese dude barely getting by i mean no
money was coming in.
So yeah, it was rough.
If you didn't have a little safety net during that time, man, it must have been bad.
Dude, yeah.
But I want to talk about the show.
So you basically write everything out in advance and then you go out and film it.
Is that how it works?
Yeah, I guess we soft script it. So it's, you know, we'll have like an outline of, because it's in the real world, it's like,
it's so unpredictable.
We'll have an idea of like where we want the narrative to go, like where the story, where we want the story to go.
And so we'll have an idea of what we want to capture, especially if like for like the show, there's like story beats we want to hit.
It's like when we're out there, we'll make sure we get those.
But then also being open to, because you're talking to real people open to what they say and it's like
if someone surprises you with something that's really funny or something then you kind of just
go down that path and see where it takes you that's funny dude i use ai to like google i use
ai to see what people are googling about my guests oh really do you know the number one most google
question for you it's pretty weird it's if you and jt are dating really yeah i don't know why people google yeah i how have i seen that i mean yeah we're like
such good bros that like you know and the whole like our show and like even like our youtube our
podcast stuff is is about like uh you know friendship so yeah i could see where they're
coming from uh it's hilarious yeah i could see where they're coming from
yeah i guess you two never talk about your girls or anything so people don't know yeah no i do have
a girlfriend though so yeah so you broke the myth there guys yeah yeah um how long you been with her
uh well over two years now nice yeah it's been great that's the time period where it's like
all right you're past the puppy love stage yeah now she moved in we got a dog yeah it's the time period where it's like, all right, you're past the puppy love stage. Yeah. Now she moved in.
We got a dog.
Yeah, it's the real deal.
Oh, you got a dog.
That's how you know it's real, man.
Dude, yeah.
Taking care of the dog.
That's like having a kid.
Well, yeah.
And it's like, you know, we both love the dog so much, really.
What's the breed?
Mini golden retriever.
Dude, that sounds so cute, dude.
I have a golden retriever, but.
Oh, you do?
It's not mini.
Mini sounds adorable.
She's like 40 pounds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How big is yours?
Like 60?
80, bro.
80?
Because he's half Bernese mountain dog.
Oh, wow.
So he's bigger.
Yeah.
That's huge.
85.
But golden retriever's best breed.
Oh, yeah.
I have a tough time leaving her.
She snuggles with us.
It's the best.
You're in Vegas a lot, right?
Twice a year.
I want to go more.
Okay.
I love going.
You a a gambler
no not really i i'm uh dude i'm like i i i prohibit myself from doing it too much because
i get excited if i'm on a heater just throwing all my money and i lose it i'm like oh fuck
i used to yeah no no no i used the martingale which is like the dumbest thing yeah you could
just lose everything in like five minutes. But I get so stubborn.
If I lose like two in a row, I'm like double it.
Yeah.
Do you still gamble a lot now that you live there?
I can.
It's like a local rule actually.
Really?
It's like an unspoken thing.
Yeah.
Unless you're like Steve will do it or Dana White.
You're not really supposed to gamble as local because then you could just get caught up in it and lose everything.
Right.
So it's like as like precaution.
Yeah.
Because you're never going to win in the long run.
Yeah. So if you live there, you're not going to win long term. Interesting. I it's like as like precaution. Because you're never going to win in the long run. Yeah.
So if you live there,
you're not going to win long term.
Interesting.
I didn't know that was a thing.
Yeah.
It's like an unspoken thing.
It's like every local I talk to doesn't gamble.
Yeah.
That's smart.
Yeah.
I think Steve and Dana just love it.
So they just,
and they win somehow.
Have you seen those streams?
No, I haven't.
Dude, I don't know what they're doing.
They're putting down heavy cash, huh?
50, 100k a night
yeah that would give me so much anxiety yeah uh so you got a season two coming uh i don't you know
i don't think so no no uh we're working on other stuff though so we're on we're touring and doing
stand-up and we we like to kind of view it as kind of like a one. A side thing. Or the show is kind of like a one season thing.
It's its own thing.
Was it just like so much work and you just felt like the time to reward ratio wasn't there?
Yeah.
And also, I don't think Netflix would go first.
If they said, do you want second?
We'd probably say, yeah.
They got a lot of heat.
What's up?
They got a lot of heat haters or something.
No, no, no.
I think they just probably don't want to do a second season. Really? they got a lot of heat what's up they got a lot of like heat haters or something no no no i i think
uh they just probably don't want to do a second season so really you just we just never really
heard but oh you know but uh a lot of politics in that space you know yeah you know it's it's uh
it's tv it's tough it's tough uh yeah industry your skits are hilarious though oh thanks i saw
yours with uh dave portnoy yeah i did that
about buying the yacht yeah how did you meet him we just saw we were out there shooting it's like
the miami boat show no we we it was the miami boat show and he knew us because like they barstool
actually helped like launch our careers because they started sharing our content oh yeah they
had such a large following so he knew you yeah he, I thought he'd know us more than he did.
We're like,
dude,
like,
you know,
we're chatting JT and he's like,
Oh yeah.
He's so high up.
He probably hears about you guys,
but can't put a name to the face.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But he was super cool.
Yeah.
How do you come up with most of your content ideas right now?
Right now?
I mean,
you know,
it's kind of like, we're kind of jt now we'll
we'll zoom if we have like an idea we'll zoom about it or like meet about it and like discuss
it and see if we can flesh it out um so we're kind of dabbling in like everything where it's
like tv or sketches for youtube and all that kind of stuff so whatever we're kind of we're kind of like go
with the flow with everything like whatever we're feeling if an idea comes up we pursue it that we
like and then a lot of focus now on stand-up nice so your fast and furious skits are so funny dude
the fact that you can even remember all those lines is what impresses me dude i remember it by
heart yeah that's the whole script so the? Yeah, because I do those with our buddy Strider.
Wow.
And I'm like, yeah, we can do this line, that line.
And then we'll be talking to people.
I just love that movie.
It's a genuine.
Bro, I can't even remember a song.
No?
The fact that you can remember a two-hour, three-hour movie, every line is just insane.
Are you a Fast and the Furious guy?
I've seen them, but I couldn't name a line.
Yeah, yeah.
But I just think they're funny because people's reactions.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, totally. yeah because they they generally are confused so it's just so funny seeing you guys fight or whatever in front of them people start to know
us out there the car shows now yeah yeah um you gotta go to like random parking lots now probably
right dude like a rental car yeah yeah that's not that should be really super fun are you a big car
guy uh i like driving cars my brother
is a big car guy he knows about engines and all that stuff um i i can just i can drive stick
that's my claim to fame i can't drive stick dude i've never tried it it's so fun yeah how is it fun
it's just well it makes you more in tune with just driving itself like the act of driving like
you're actually like shifting the car
it's like you don't have time to look at your phone and stuff you're kind of more present with
everything and also if it's like somewhat of a fast car yeah if you're like you know messing with
like the the gas and all that kind of stuff it just it's just like it's like a game i'll try
one day for you yeah i'll uh let you know but yeah i feel like i agree though i feel like driving is so mindless these days yeah especially
with tesla as they auto drive yeah it's like you're just texting and driving have you tried
that they auto drive yeah i have it online oh you do yeah so are you able to just like
not even pay attention yes you have to keep a hand on the wheel or else it turns off yes because
they don't want you like sleeping and
texting but now they've invented things that just apply pressure to the wheel so you could have both
hands off and do whatever you want i'm not advocating to do that obviously but like yeah
that's what people do if they drive from la to vegas they'll just fall asleep have that thing
applying pressure yeah wake up in vegas have you tried that like no i know someone that has done it
how do you do that i feel like i would freak i think it's scary like i'll even have the auto drive on in vegas yeah and i'll still kind of
drive honestly right sometimes like people are merging and you get kind of worried yeah i don't
know yeah but the people that this is the thing with auto drive the people that invented it don't
use it so that freaks me out it's kind of like lacek eye surgery right the doctors that give you
it have glasses yeah so that's why i haven't gotten that but it's also like the social media
developers they don't let their kids go on social media it's too addicting yeah or like apple they
don't let their kids watch ipads yeah it's like damn like tiktok just banned or what's that state
utah just banned tiktok did they really for kids oh wow yeah because it's too
addicting yeah yeah i could see that but yeah i don't know if i have kids if i want them just
scrolling social media for six hours a day it seems like a tough battle i i've had like
nine nieces and nephews now and it's like that that seems to be whenever i talk to my siblings
like the biggest debate is what uh what are you doing about screen time because when do you
introduce it yeah because now
they're like six years old getting introduced i didn't have a cell phone till high school
yeah same and when i where i went to high school too we didn't have cell service wow where the
fuck were you dude i was in connecticut yeah i was in like deep connecticut so i always forget
about that like i had just a regular phone and yeah, I'd like for,
you know,
when I go back home is I'd be back on my cell phone,
but it's like,
yeah,
when you're out there,
it's,
I totally forgot about that,
but.
Yeah,
no,
we got to grow up,
play outside as kids and schedule play dates.
I remember calling my friend's house phone,
scheduling play dates.
Yeah.
As a kid.
And like elementary school,
that's like a lost thing now.
Yeah,
totally.
Yeah. Times are changing. I think there's pros to it yeah i mean we obviously make a living off social media
yeah so it's kind of ironic to talk negatively about it but yeah i think there's a fine line
how addicted you can get yeah no i think it's um i think it keeps us all connected like like
i'll just send stuff to friends I haven't seen in like years.
And it's like that,
that level,
it keeps us connected.
And now it's interesting because it like isolates in a certain way,
but keeps us connected in another way.
Yeah.
Um,
but yeah,
I,
I,
I,
uh,
I'm very grateful for social media because it did,
it's kind of given creators,
entertainers,
uh,
an ability to just put their own stuff out there and kind of generate their own career as opposed to kind of going through the gatekeepers. Yeah, it's given ordinary guy accessibility to social media platforms, which famous actors have.
And it's leveled the even, what's the word?
Leveled the playing field.
Yeah, totally. actors have and it's leveled that even what's the word leveled the playing field yeah totally yeah
because now there's people that get recognized more just for being an influencer than an a-list
actor totally like uh and i didn't really realize the power of it until like people start recognize
recognizing us for like our stuff mostly through social media like we had dabbled in tv and you'd
think just like just from when i grew up you're like oh
if you're on tv then like that's how people but it's it's kind of switch where it's like you
i think most fan bases are created on social media agrees yeah because the tv audience now
if you're watching tv you're old yeah like a grandparent yeah i'll talk to my nieces and
nephews i'm like what are you watching like soccer on youtube exactly i'm like i don't even have
cable and i don't know anyone our age that actually has cable still
yeah it's pretty crazy dude yeah and you've been on some of the biggest shows right yeah you went
on kimmel you went on ellen yeah yeah that's uh yeah it was so fun but it is crazy like um
yeah it's like um rogan has like surpassed all of that. Oh, for sure. He gets so many views. It's insane.
Yeah.
When did you get started?
Started a year ago in January.
A year ago?
I'm pretty new, yeah.
But I've been able to leverage social media.
So Rogan didn't have that.
That's why he's 10 years in.
Yeah.
And he's the biggest, obviously.
But the first, I don't know, a few years, he didn't have social media.
Yeah.
So it's harder to grow, I feel like.
And did you start just in podcasting or where did you start?
I've done a bunch of stuff. I did e-commerce i did uh drop shipping i did crypto that's how i made some
good money and then i had a marketing agency which got acquired last year oh cool or two years ago
and then i started the podcast oh cool yeah so i've worn a lot of hats but podcasting has been
my favorite thing yeah yeah because i've seen that your guests like you
meet so many different people so many cool people i know you have a show too yeah yeah uh we it's
crazy when you have certain guests on yeah we had like laird hamilton on he's a big wave surfer
who i i would just see him in movies as a kid and he looked like a greek god like he just looks like he's like as an olympian the kind of
uh you know his whole thing he's just larger than life and then he's just on our podcast i'm like
how is this it's nuts yeah i'm like how does this happen i've had a few guests like that too
yeah where i watched them for years i'm like wait i'm sitting next to someone that was on my fantasy
football team in high school what is going on right now yeah it's crazy you're having a conversation with them you're like oh this is just like a normal person yeah because you idolize
them so much yeah and then you meet them and you're like what the hell yeah yeah friends with
you yeah like we had some like guests who were like actors i looked up to and it's like this is
like during covid so we were zooming with them and they're like it's funny when they have like
everyday kind of like they just can't get their dog to stop barking.
It's just like everyday problems.
Humanizes them.
We all deal with the same stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
I used to really worship certain like celebrities.
I got out of that mentality
because it's not normal to think of people that way.
Totally.
And you had on Steve-O, right?
We had on Steve-O.
Dude, that's a legend.
That was crazy
yeah what was that like it was surreal yeah he's uh i mean uh he that was like the first jackass
two is the first movie i smoked weed too first time i smoked weed watch jackass too classic
and i was like so he's another guy you just grew up. Yeah. And then he's just like, you're just having a conversation with him.
Yeah.
He's completely sober now too, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He looks great.
Yeah.
It's cool to see him turn that leaf because he was known for just doing crazy shit, drugs
and stuff.
Yeah.
I remember in college when, was it Jackass 3 came out?
And we're like, wow, Steve is sober now.
And I was in college, so I was partying a lot.
Yeah.
I don't really drink much anymore. But at that time, I like man how can you be sober that looks so boring um but then
like uh you know as soon as i got to la i kind of like just i did like a year or two partying then
i kind of stopped partying for the most part um and i'm like oh actually being sober is like way
more fun wow usually it's opposite when people get to LA.
They just party and don't stop.
I, you know, I like had this college mentality and I did that for like a year.
And I was like, I can't do what I want to do.
Yeah.
If I'm just at like Barney's Beanery.

Click the application link below.
And here's the episode guys.
Playing a big buck hunter and having IPAs.
I used to love IPAs, man.
My dad put me on and they're just so efficient.
They are.
Cause I can't get drunk off beer.
Just regular beer.
It's disgusting to drink the amount I would need to get drunk.
How many would you say?
Just regular cans.
I would need eight to ten probably.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I'm 6'6".
My metabolism is fast.
Oh, interesting.
Even when I'm drunk, it only lasts like an hour or two.
Interesting.
Because I just process it so good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah, with IPAs, you could have one or two and feel nice.
Yeah.
Depending on how fast you drink
it you get and they taste pretty good some of them yeah you get a nice racer five in there
yeah feeling good you stop pounding though yeah i was just uh you know i was trying to do comedy
and i was like uh i'll just get gnarly hangovers and i was like i can't i can't like it was tough for me to like be hung over and
also pursue comedy because it's like going to do an open mic when you're hung over is not fun yeah
you need to be sharp with comedy yeah and my anxiety spiked yeah i can't go in front of people
and try to be funny like i'm like freaking out over here yeah yeah yeah you ever have to take
a xanax before a show? Not before a show.
Luckily, I kind of stopped.
I'm always sober on stage.
I've only had beers on stage once.
I was doing a live podcast.
Yeah, some comedians get drunk on stage.
I feel like that's so risky because you don't know what you're going to say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?
That's when you get canceled.
Right, dude, yeah.
What type of comedy? Are you doing crowd work are you doing uh stand up
i have like bits i'll do like you know pre-written bits but i'm starting to dabble more and like
kind of like talking to the crowd and just being a little more free-flowing with it nice but when
i started it was like only scripted material because i was just like i need to get laughs i
need this stuff to go well i didn't have the confidence to just engage with the crowd but now after having experience i've been able to
do that because i can't think of a more vulnerable job than comedy because you're literally putting
yourself out there in front of hundreds of people and if you bomb you're feeling that oh you feel
yeah and especially when people you know are in the crowd yeah when you're starting out you invite friends so they
fake laugh yeah and then if they if you bomb you know you have to face and be like yes this is what
i'm trying to do that's smart though i like that because at least they could clap and they could
laugh make it seem like it's not totally dead yeah yeah yeah i've had some some very some good
supportive friends who helped me out in the beginning i mean no one's gonna just be good
their first few times.
It's not like a natural thing to do.
Oh, no.
Comedy?
I mean, they say it takes 10 years to really.
Yeah, I heard that.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
So you got to be bombing for years and then finally get a break.
Yeah, but it's very addictive.
Like you get a laugh on stage.
It's like that keeps you hooked.
I feel that.
My first time going up, I didn't even know what I was doing.
I didn't know how to tell a joke.
I didn't know how to structure any anything i was like i'll just
say nonsense up there i thought i had material but now looking back i'm like i don't even know
what that was yeah uh but i got a laugh and i was like oh i'm hooked now so yeah you and jt do it
together right we do separate sets but we tour together so Oh, don't. So JT, we'll do like, if we do a show, we'll do like 25 minute sets each.
And then we'll do, we'll bring our buddy Strider as well.
And then we'll do like a Q&A at the end.
That's a little bit more kind of crowd worky.
Oh, nice.
I've never seen a show do that.
Yeah.
It's super fun.
That's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I went to, I've been to a few.
I went to Nikki Glaser, David Spade.
That was pretty funny.
Oh, they were at the Mirage? yeah clearly sold out and even the opening guy i forgot his
name was good yeah they're great yeah yeah yeah comedy is a tough space though i don't think i
could do it so hats off to you man oh thanks man yeah and you're going on what like a 40 city tour
coming up uh yeah something something crazy yeah we got for the spring we got i think we got
it's got to be like 10 15 yeah so i think for the full year probably around 40 yeah it's on
your site and starting like a month you're just non-stop i'm like yeah bro yeah we're hitting it
living on the road all year it's fun yeah you do that every year uh just started so it just
started two years ago okay so uh it's a blast though wow yeah i love them you got a favorite city
i love going to dc because i love seeing like the historic i'll go like the museums and stuff yeah
uh where else um i love florida um miami miami we were just there orlando i hit disney world okay
so you got a you got a nerdier side to you i do yeah i like that i do
too yeah i think people should embrace that more because some people are scared to talk up about it
but yeah yeah i was a huge nerd growing up yeah i love like um what am i nerdy about uh
i guess disney i don't look i i like going to disney i know there's like a stigma against
disney adults i don't know if i'd classify myself as a disney adult but i do love roller coasters so that i do not like you know that's where we differ no i think
it's the height thing yeah my body's just no i went on nitro at six flags and i cried the whole
time wanted to throw up and we bought like a day pass and that was the first one we went on yeah
so the whole time i'm just following my friend to rides yeah and i'm like i'm good what uh what are your main interests would you say right now basketball used to be anime heavy but
i don't have time for that because that takes like 10 hours a day yeah if you want to watch
the whole show business podcasting watching podcasts i watch it on a podcast are you a star
star wars guy old ones old ones yeah the ones where that came out when we were growing up like the
first six yeah yeah those are i haven't seen the new ones the disney ones you're not yeah
nah are you uh no i'm same same old ones but i'm more of a star trek if you had to ask dude i
haven't really watched star trek what yeah i need to get into it yeah spock's my guy dude yeah
yeah man just getting the star trek you got a favorite like movie series of all time favorite movie series um fast and furious probably fast furious is up there fast fears one
i will watch that at least once a year um what else do i love series i mean i love star wars i
i'll still watch this just because of the nostalgia. Just seeing a lightsaber gets me so fired up.
Yeah, it's iconic.
I'm not really into Marvel.
It's too fake for me.
Yeah, I'm like not really invested.
It's not relatable.
Yeah.
Bond.
I love the Bond movies.
James Bond.
Oh, that's the old ones.
Even the new ones are pretty good.
Yeah, Daniel Craig.
Yeah, let's see.
But yeah, what have I been into lately i don't know my girlfriend and i we've been we've been watching a lot of scary movies are you in a
scar i used to be but now they cause too many nightmares so i kind of toned it back yeah but
i used to be a heavy we were watching we watched a scary movie every night in october damn you guys
are freaks yeah i was like i was like kind of feeling, I was like, I feel a little off.
It's all the demon shit.
Looking around the corner wherever you walk in the house now.
Like if you have a demon in the house.
I used to mess with my girlfriend.
I'd start sprinting in the house.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
After like a scary movie.
Scream.
Make her scared.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like thrillers though.
Thrillers.
I like movies that make you dink.
Yeah.
Like you can't, I hate when it's predictable. Right predictable right because then i'm like why am i even watching this yeah
like if it's unpredictable like fast and the furious is kind of cool because you don't know
sometimes if they're going to win the race right so i like that but when the superhero wins every
time it's like that's why with marvel it's like all right i know by the end yeah here's gonna win
yeah whatever yeah they're not going to let that happen.
Yeah.
What about shows?
Shows I like?
TV shows, yeah.
I mean, I grew up watching Seinfeld.
Love Seinfeld.
What have I been watching lately?
Oh, I just watched The Crown.
Have you watched that?
The Crown, no.
Is that new?
Yeah, it's on Netflix.
I think it's six seasons.
But it just follows the royal family
it's like queen elizabeth's reign okay i thought it was gonna be so boring yeah it sounds boring
but it does sound boring but dude i watched like the first see first like the pilot yeah i was like
i was like this is amazing queen elizabeth has some drama going on so yeah well what's cool
about it is like they they have like historical um it's like the episodes will be
very historical so it'll be like things that happen in like the 50s or 60s like you'll see
like um churchill and stuff dealing with whatever or it's like when we landed on the moon stuff like
that and you'll see it from their perspective so it's like a really good kind of gives a good
historical lens into like interesting that era um and then you all the princess diana stuff wow yeah yeah i don't know
shit about the royal family so i just know the queen and the princess yeah i didn't before either
but i now you're a buff dude i give it a shot see what you think which country is that in uk uk yeah
i'm uh i'm a half irish so i have a uk citizenship oh cool so if this
country goes to shit yeah that's where i'm out you just beeline it yeah you got a backup plan also
no i'm running towards the blast okay i'm out no other citizenship plans no marrying a girl and
uh i'll try to i'll try to go to cabo see if cabo see if cabo's still i've never been there but
everyone goes there cabo's fun yeah yeah all the girls get flown out there i see yeah do you have
a backup plan like if u.s goes to shit yeah or like the apocalypse happens well yeah not really
i mean i have the citizenship but honestly it rained so much in ireland when i went there it
rained the whole week and it was just depressing i don't think i can live in that so i'd have to just find out how to get a dubai
citizenship or something do you have you been there no but no tax so that's right it's my type
of language right there yeah it sounds cool no uh cali state tax of 12 yeah yeah how do you deal
with that out here i don't know i just i just don? I just don't think about it, yeah.
Just ignore it and it goes away, right?
Yeah, like maybe a little less Postmates.
Yeah, but you travel so much actually, so you might even, are you even here 180 days?
Yeah, I'd say so.
Oh, you are?
But, you know, my girlfriend and I, we were always talking about Florida.
I love Florida.
Make the move, man.
I know.
It's like, i may be like holding
ourselves back but i feel like i have to be in la a little bit more for entertainment but i do
want to get to a place where with touring where i can just live wherever yeah and not have to be
connected to la well you could do 181 days in florida and then yeah rest in cali i mean that'd
be the dream yeah but i get it out here your line of work's here
there's not much line of work in florida yeah for what you're doing maybe you know maybe we could do
with miami what rogan is doing with austin yeah so that was a good move i mean he saved so much
money because he just sold to spotify so if he stayed in cali he would have had to pay
tens of millions yeah and uh and he's he's really created like a booming scene he's why i started a
podcast really i mean yeah i used to watch him with my dad growing up yeah yeah that was the
shit man that was back when i could watch a three-hour podcast straight yeah now i can't
no i don't have the attention span yeah yeah uh watching no i'll listen in the car though but
it'll be over you know a span it'll be over span it'll be at 2x speed yeah audiobooks 2x speed 1x is too slow man yeah yeah um you got a favorite comedian that you looked up
to growing up uh i mean growing up it was seinfeld first just because i love seinfeld
he's the first comedian i saw live um i was like i was like 10 wow yeah maybe like nine my my my mom just knew i love seinfeld so i
went uh then dave chapelle growing up classic yeah oh you saw them they made me lock my phone
for that yeah i used to work for that company yonder yeah yeah so i was i was the guy like
locking up the phone oh you were that dick i was yeah dude people were getting so pissed i would
get so dude i was like really like yeah what if something important i mean i get it though
they don't want their jokes being leaked yeah yeah but this is when it just started too yeah so i was
i was doing i did some chapelle shows actually and i did some tracy morgan shows and it was
brand new so people were like um like like they had no idea now they're used to it right i guess
a little bit more but they're like what are you doing i'm gonna bring two phones next time just
have them lock up my back dude yeah put one in your back pocket yeah but then i'll probably get
kicked out if they see me with it so yeah it's worth it i mean that'd be pretty crazy to get
kicked out for having a phone yeah you ever been kicked out of anywhere i know you go to the city
hall meetings and yeah i mean we yeah where have we been kicked out we've been
kicked out of uh some city council meetings for sure but you don't cause a scene you're genuinely
there to make changes you're not trying to make content like no and also we're allowed to be there
because of the constitution so um you know like the first amendment so there's one meeting though
the planning commission in orange they kicked us out for doing what or they just kicked us off the stand he's like i don't know what you're talking about this has no
correlation to the planning commission yeah like we're trying to build a hilton
and he's like get the fuck off the stand we're like all right um we have other things it's just
like certain events we got kicked out of the renaissance fair what's that uh it's just like a this event this event where they like reenact renaissance kind of like people dress up like
it's the renaissance or like medieval times and um we were just kind of causing a ruckus there
not even really but like they just kicked us out interesting yeah have you ever gotten something
at city hall accomplished where you went on stage and they actually listened and implemented it?
I mean, the first thing we asked for was a Paul Walker statue to unite the nation.
Yeah.
And they built a six-inch statue.
Six-inch.
So we asked for a 12-footer.
Not really what we were asking for, but it was something.
It's a start, guess right yeah um so
but we you know went back to the council and kind of took umbrage and we're like it's not really
what we asked for but we respect that you put up something yeah it's actually shocking i'm
surprised they did anything at all dude yeah i mean i i actually when we like did it and then
the response from it i was like you guys should put up a statue. That you're like,
there'll be so many people
coming in to see it.
I love that, man.
