Starting point is 00:09:06 so we were kind of hurting everyone just left and that's when barbers are like goalies in hockey they're just like super a lot of our head cases they used to call around begging from the column like how much you gonna pay me and it was so so i decided to switch it up and tell george like let's just find good people and make them barbers like forget just chasing people and he was like one of the first ones and then well uh Tony too Corey's brother and Tony we just built with a whole young squad yeah we got like a super bowl team now so Tony came in around Christmas I came in in the summer yeah I think you guys were both the same time weren't you same same year yeah same year so when you opened this joint what year 2012 I think
Starting point is 00:09:45 2012 okay oh wow yeah yeah years are just cooking by doing my kids
Starting point is 00:09:50 and having this business so yeah that's what was interesting to me I don't understand how people have kids and like run their own business because like it's hard enough
Starting point is 00:09:57 for me just to like do this shit yeah kids seem awful it got easier dude I swear like when I die I swear I want to come back as me
Starting point is 00:10:03 I work three days a week and I'm trying to like, I'm just doing the, I could make more money and have a sure house and all that, but I just, I want time and my body's like, don't cut hair anymore. Just have fun.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Dude. I'll tell you the hardest part. It seems to me, I mean, obviously like cutting hair seems like a, it's, I have no idea how you guys do it. I just like walking out of here and looking like a human being again,
Starting point is 00:10:21 but keeping conversation with the, anybody that sits in your chair. Yeah. What are the go do you have go to like i'll hit this topic out of this topic or like a phrase that you'll say to try to get it going or do you just kind of like say i'm out to each other now yeah you just like turn around we're just like start changing so we're i think we're all add we're all getting everybody like kind of incorporated in a conversation like that like that. Sometimes, I'm not in the mood to do it. Everybody has their day,
Starting point is 00:10:48 so sometimes I'll be a little more quiet or whatever, but if I'm cutting hair and me and my client are talking about something, Tony's around my age, most likely my client's
Starting point is 00:10:57 around my age, we'll start bullshitting about something. I think that should be more. It's good morale. It's great. Let's begin like black barber shops.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Black barber shops are the best. Black barber shops gotta go on, dude. They're the best. should be more. It's good morale. Yeah, it's great. But let's begin like black barbershops. Yeah, black barbershops got to go on, dude. The best. They always have. They talk about any topic they want to talk about and everyone's got their opinion and everybody's involved.
Starting point is 00:11:12 When I got into it in like whatever year it was in the late 90s, I don't know, 97, but it was out. When the Beatles came in, like that's when the white barbershops went down.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Really? Yeah, everyone grew their hair like the Beatles and everybody went under. i heard all the stories like i was trained by like the old italian dudes like used to like hit you in the back of the head with a comb if you didn't do it right yeah they would turn the lights off during the day to save money there was some old immigrants i learned from but now it's it's crazy it's completely changed yeah what's what's it like now? Like with everything like... There was like two clippers when I was cutting hair.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Now there's like, what, 70? There's so many things, man. You pick your poison. But it's awesome. It really is. And the way the shop's designed, we can shoot off each other with the mirrors. But it does have a black barbershop feel to it. Cool.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Yeah. Is it a bummer not getting like hot women to walk in to cut their hair? Yeah. It would be like Zohan, I think. I think we think it would be like that but probably probably not but we picture that movie you might be johan dude you might be johan i like you have a little bit too i see you kind of skirting around the chair when i'm sitting there you do you got some boobs what's the uh what's the industry like nowadays like Is it changing very rapidly?
Starting point is 00:12:25 Or is it kind of like the same as it was like 20 years ago? A lot of bullshit A lot of bullshit When we first opened it was like hipster Like the shape part With the gel mad men That was like super in Some guys are still holding on to that
Starting point is 00:12:41 If you want to look like an asshole That was the go-to haircut Skin fade He hated the Peaky Blinders Peaky Blinders, it's a fucking bullshit haircut If you want to look like an asshole, that was the go-to haircut. Skin fade. He hated the Peaky Blinders. Peaky Blinders, it's a fucking bullshit haircut. That's a fucking bullshit. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:12:55 It's horrible. And there's no reason a seven-year-old should be getting that. Yeah. I would do it, and the guy would walk upstairs and use the HM, and he'd be like, what are you doing? That's what he wants. He wants the Peaky Blinders, dude. He gives them what they want. I give them what they need. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:13:11 If I argue with, we might not argue, but like, if you're like, yo, I want to do a Mohawk and I want, I want to dye it pink later. I'm like, I probably wouldn't do that. It depends on the terror about the guy. He's a cool guy. If he's like, smells like shit and I want to get him out of here you get to get people yeah sorry about that but if he's cool and he's showing me some love yeah do you want me to help you a little bit let me switch it up so how often are you getting that where you're having somebody come
Starting point is 00:13:36 in and asking for a certain haircut and you're like you're gonna look like a dickhead let me try to talk this guy out of it like how often is that or is it for the most part people know what they want every day yeah every day we do a lot of volume dude yeah everything every single day yeah i feel like i if i feel like if someone told me that i'd be like well my fiance this dude cuts so much hair it's not even funny but i feel like my fiance would be like i like it on the sides and i like it to the right and that's what i have right now and i like it too so right. And that's what I have right now. And I like it too. So it's like... You got a nice haircut. Where do you go? Don't. I got a haircut down the street. For now.

That there was a single involved. Oh, I don't care. I love singles. Sometimes if the guy doesn't tip you that much, I know the next guy is going to come for it.
Starting point is 00:36:53 It goes back to like, if the guy's a cool guy, it doesn't fucking matter. You know what I mean? If that's all that guy can afford. Sometimes, yeah.

Starting point is 00:38:32 Good time, yeah. The whole barbershop went. They kept stealing his food at the cocktail hour. I made sure they all went. If they all went to church, that was the deal. They all went to church. It was great. I look back and all the barbers, everyone with their neck tattoos and all.
Starting point is 00:38:43 They were in church. How long was the mass? Yeah. I don't know. It was an hour. Catholic mass. Dude, I got some heavy... I cut the bishop's hair. and all the barbers everyone with their neck tattoos and all they were in church how long was the mass yeah I don't know it was an hour Catholic mass dude I got some heavy I cut the bishops hair
Starting point is 00:38:49 I actually cut the new Catholic bishops hair dude I came late I saw the bride I don't blame you I would have came late to that too I came late
Starting point is 00:38:55 is that bad luck to see the bride oh I don't know but I was happy you came dude yeah it was a good wedding do you like the word came
Starting point is 00:39:00 pause oh that's actually I'm kind of curious about this so looking historically like barbers back in like the word game pause oh that's actually i'm kind of curious about this like so looking historically like barbers back in like the 50s 60s it was like it seemed like it was just old dudes who would go there with like the straight razor they put the phone on your head and do all that it seems like barber is like a cool job like you guys have to be involved almost
Starting point is 00:39:19 on like social media like kind of how you are now promoting yourself like is do you have you noticed a switch to where like you have to be more of like a social media brand yeah it was like we don't even do shaves which is crazy yeah yeah i mean every barber did shaves back in the day when i started we did these should make a shave a balloon shaves are more expensive than haircuts like i don't know if you know that like if my haircut's 40 35 4035, $40 $45 whatever your shave's gonna be $80 really? I don't want to do it
Starting point is 00:39:50 so I'm gonna charge for it I used to do Noxzema the hot towels it was like an experience why do you not want to do it? is it harder to do? it's like a facial
Starting point is 00:39:57 it's an experience man it's stupid dude it's not a big money maker why everyone has scruff today? no one shaves did you not notice that? that shaves are double the haircut? I haven't seen that.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Most places. I've been ignorant to it. I haven't even went out. I looked. He's on market research. He has no market research. We tell him when we need to raise the price. I'm like, yeah, dude, like, we got to, like, come on.
Starting point is 00:40:16 I go by feel, man. I go by feel. Like $5 off a super cut. Let me tell you something, brother. I'm for the people. Honestly, when I started coming here, dude, I was like, no way. It's fucking cheap. What are you gonna charge for a haircut?
Starting point is 00:40:27 $35. What are you paying? That's like pretty cheap, I think. Yeah. That's extraordinarily cheap. Apparently. Yeah, it is. Extraordinarily.
Starting point is 00:40:36 I like that. Because dude, we were like 18 when we opened and we went up, we were so busy. Well, I was gonna say your Yelp reviews and people were not happy when you guys changed the prices. Well, that's what I'm saying. Oh yeah. They were gonna read a couple later in the episode. We do have a plan bit. We have a plan bit. Wait, yours are what I'm saying. Oh, yeah, they were gonna read a couple We do we do a plan bit You guys are doing did you guys see the review on me?
Starting point is 00:40:52 We just went Yelp To Google reviews Use are like worth like comedy skits. Oh, yeah. Did you see the one that's like act one, act two, act three? We can do it now. No way. So if you guys are cool, we want to do two good Yelp reviews. Just respond to,
Starting point is 00:41:10 think about it. And then we have two of the negative ones. Can I just tell you, the last time I went through them, I've called the people and tried to get them to like take them down.
Starting point is 00:41:17 It's called Yelp. What can we do? Call the people. I've got, if there's numbers, I don't know, it's who helped me with Dom. Remember I went through him?
Starting point is 00:41:22 Why would you do that? Because he's like, dude, like you had a big experience. How can we make it better? Like you want to come here and get a free haircut? No. Dude, it's numbers, I don't know. Who helped me with Dom? Remember I went through? Why would you do that? Because he's like, dude, like you had a big experience. How can we make it better? Like you want to come here and get a free haircut? Dude, it's like, it's like, it's like rust on a bike. Dude adds character. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Oh, all right. Well, I still try. I mean, you know, true. Real quick. We gotta change battery. These people, by the way, the negatives sound like they're fucking insane. Yeah, they're insane people. I have to deal with the negatives.
Starting point is 00:41:42 That's a nice way. And this is again, if you don't like it. Are we back? We're back on? Yeah, we're back on. So we are going to do, I'm going to, this're insane people. I have to be with the negatives. That's a nice way to end it. And this is again, if you don't like it. Are we back? We're back on? Yeah, we're back on. So we are going to do, this is Google reviews. We got Google reviews and we got. I got the Yelp.
Starting point is 00:41:53 You brought up the Yelp. I'll go Google. Did you hear what they said? He's like, yeah, these people just sound insane. That was a nice way. They are insane. No, no. I think if you go out of your way to rate something, I think you're an insane person.
Starting point is 00:42:03 I would, well, then again. I'd have to be really. I've never done it. I would just, done it but i'd never read it anyway yeah just bury it low in my belly and just i'm old school like i would call you and be like you you fucked me i had one yelp review where i did a show in the poconos and i got like put up for the night like the guy got us a hotel i had to do the show like in the where the hotel was and i was staying there with a former friend of mine and uh the year was it was in the middle of august there was no air conditioning and then if you open the windows there was no screen to block the bugs so you couldn't open the windows because bugs would be going in and out so we go we do the show next day i go home and then the day after the guy who runs
Starting point is 00:42:39 the shows that i got booked on called me and he was like hey uh i gotta talk to you about something and i was like what's up and he's like one of your is my ex-girlfriend called me and he was like, hey, I got to talk to you about something and I was like, what's up? And he's like, one of your, it was my ex-girlfriend at the time. He's like,
Starting point is 00:42:49 did she write a scathing review about the hotel that we put you up in? And I was like, I don't think so. And he's like, well,
Starting point is 00:42:55 the place has two reviews and one of them is a three paragraph long review shitting on them and I had no clue and I was like, oh my God my god i'm sorry i'll talk to her right now i'll call her right now oh you must have been a basket case that takes the score down
Starting point is 00:43:09 i was freaking out there's only two reviews that's it that's it first was the other review would ever go back and look at the other view the first review was like hopefully the guy who comes here breaks up with his girlfriend but uh so she's your ex is that why you broke up with her yeah well not directly because but uh yeah, so I had to call her. She was like, you know, that place sucked. And I was like, we stayed there for free. I got paid money. This is a job.
Starting point is 00:43:31 What was your beef with it? Just the fact there was no air conditioning. It was gross in the room. Three paragraphs. Those are pretty. You got to put them up in a nice spot. That's how I live, dude. This one's pretty long.
Starting point is 00:43:43 This is from. Should I say the name? No, maybe not say the name. Don't say the name. This is from... Should I say the name? No, maybe not say the name. This is from a Timmy. I'll say the first name. This is from five years ago. If I could rate zero stars, I would. Joe completely didn't listen to me when I said two on the sides and a little off the top.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Mind you, my hair is long on top and I like to keep it that way. He gave me a one to two fade on the sides and took almost all my hair off the top. Mind you, my hair is long on top and I like to keep it that way. He gave me a one to two fade on the sides and took almost all my hair off the top. I look like I'm seven years old again. Also, none of his staff are welcoming in the slightest bit unless you're a local or a regular customer of his,
Starting point is 00:44:19 which in that case, you will be greeted with a, yo, what's up, bro? How you been? He also stopped my haircut twice just to go on his phone and call his mechanic to check up on his nice black porsche ass i personally wouldn't even recommend this place to my worst enemy timmy i just want to say i'm sorry timmy go fuck yourself i'm sure my porsche was more important that day no I'm just kidding he talked about the Porsche
Starting point is 00:44:46 earlier in the episode it's not black Timmy it's not black it's navy asshole yeah that's a sin nah Timmy's got a heart he's got it right

He should be like Joe. I don't fucking like it. You're on your phone. We're mechanic. What is this shit? You know, that's Did Timmy have some balls? Did Timmy Timmy's a telephone tough guy? Yeah, that's what you are when you fucking leave a review Now why don't you call me up and say Joe dude you fuck my hair up you were talking to people I was to Timmy, guess what?

Starting point is 00:45:49 That's it. We got a bar next door. Distillery next door. I didn't feel it getting raw. Oh, the wild feather, huh? Pretty cool. Wild feather. Some wild feathers out there.
Starting point is 00:45:55 But anyway, yeah, dude, because of that, if you're honest and you're from the heart, then you say, Timmy, come back. I'll give you a free haircut. I'm sorry I fucked you up, man. There's a good one of me on Google. Really? Is it really? Is it a negative one? Severely the prince well then we'll offset it because we were talking about it earlier we have two in a row uh excellent service atmosphere
Starting point is 00:46:15 and a good cut tang was a great barber recommend when it is a walk-in after not so great experience at another local shop fit me right in in, right below. Tang was awesome. He spent a lot of time asking what I wanted and was very meticulous doing a mid-fade. Oh, yeah. It's like, no problem. You come in, I hug you, I love you, bye. Tang's awesome, dude.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Thanks, man. Such a sexy impression. Tang does sound like the fucking man. I might, well, I'm not going to leave Dino, but Tang does. No, but he's worth, Tang's worth meeting. Tang's amazing. If you want to just watch the Goonies Tang's... No, but he's worth, Tang's worth meeting. Tang's amazing. If you want to just watch the Goonies and feel cool about Tang, that's it. Who's data?
Starting point is 00:46:50 For Indiana Jones. What? Indiana Jones, data. Yeah, I couldn't find it. There was literally one negative in the rest of the five stars. It's on Google. I'm on Google right now. Go to the worst rated.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Oh, here it goes. The kid that was driving back from college. Yes. All right. So we have one rated. Oh, here he goes. The kid that was driving back from college. Yes. All right. So we have one about Max that we found. Max. This is three years ago by Harrison. Harrison.
Starting point is 00:47:12 And he's got 15. He's got 15 reviews. Yeah. This kid stinks out loud. Wow. Fuck you, dude. And he's also got a profile picture. I think he's fly fishing in his profile.
Starting point is 00:47:21 He's got a fly. Wow. He's going after Harrison. He's doing biker. Can we leave a review on Harrison? Or he's doing snow we should you can reply on uh on yelp i don't know if you're bigger than that but here we go three years one star this is three years ago i've gone to this barbershop for over five years and i hate to say it i am extremely unsettled how they treated me i made my appointment for 10 30 and i was driving back from college from two states away
Starting point is 00:47:42 and during my drive to there, I missed my appointment. I am not one to text and drive on roads like 95 and 295. So I was not able to text. Dork. Well, you're a huge pussy then. Next thing I know, I get a notification. They charge my card the full amount for the haircut. Oh, that was it.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yep. Confused, I call them and try to find out why I was charged the full amount. Nowhere in the cancellation policy is it stated that you will be charged 100% if you miss the appointment. That's our bad. That was. He got dealt dirty. That was payback to all the other assholes. Sorry, Harrison.
Starting point is 00:48:17 It builds up, I'm sure. Yeah. We slammed him. You wanted me to. You pressed me for that. Yeah. He was like, I need the whole money. I was like, all right, fine.
Starting point is 00:48:25 I'll just charge him the whole money. Yeah. No, it wasn't. It was just the principle. Yeah, of course. It wasn't. It was the principle. It was debatable. This is what it says.
Starting point is 00:48:30 They only state you will be charged up to 67%. And we did change that right after that. We changed it. We changed it right after that. And I had to because he said that comment. You live and you learn. But he was like, we got to charge the full price. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:41 I looked at his record and he was like a repeat no shower. Like you get on, you get on that list where we take your credit card. You don't even take credit cards. You have to really fuck up to get on that list. You're on the list. You're on the naughty list. So shame on him.
Starting point is 00:48:55 There's always more to the story. I like this because there's more to the story all the time. Keep going. If we charge you, then you were on the naughty list where you had to put your credit card in. So he's a repeat offender. I it's totally he should have a right that over his house so here we go I called and asked what was happening and was immediately greeted with it
Starting point is 00:49:10 with disrespect by I would presume max wow correct I had an appointment with I'm absolutely shocked with how he talked to me this guy sounds like a soy boy no way how little he cared at all I said I never want to come back here after this and he said good we do not want you back oh shit i don't think that's that
Starting point is 00:49:29 bad you said you remember saying there's a lot worse ways you do i picked up the phone and he was like um i got i got charged for a haircut um and i just want to like get it back or whatever i could be misquoting a little timid boy so and i was like i was like yeah that was that was with me you're on a list and you've you've done this multiple times and people don't know like going back to like we get paid commission it comes directly out of my pocket right and this is a time where i i was very i still am i'm i'm very busy so if there's a slot open i'm gonna fill it if you give me two hours i'm gonna fill that slot i'm gonna call someone i'm gonna get someone in that slot yeah so he is driving and and and i text him i was like hey are you coming
Starting point is 00:50:09 to your appointment no answer so then right when the time was over like i don't know if it was what was the time 10 30 to 11 this is this is the new barber mentality i come from where we never had appointments we didn't have the option even do this to people he was walked in so like i never when it happens to me i just like brush it off and i go to the next guy i'm like this is the new age where it's like off now i lose i lose my spot i lose my money and it's like it puts me like thinking that's not a bad way to look at it this guy's taking his job very seriously i just didn't it's not like you just no showed me once he was on a list where when you book an appointment now you have to put your credit card in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Because you fucked someone. But even a single no-show seems insane. No, look, it happens. You should call at least. No, no, no, no show again. A call, that's what I'm saying. Dude, if he called five minutes before, I would have been like, oh, dude. It's the respect.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Why would you book an appointment if you're driving from fucking four states away? No, I think, yeah, I should rephrase. I think a no-call no-show is insane. Bullshit. That's crazy. I was thinking my mom. I was going to say, I have to correct myself.
Starting point is 00:51:10 I've done a couple calls and not show up. Yes, he did. I know exactly who you're talking about, too. I know that kid. Has he ever come back? No. I haven't seen him. Let's see Tento's on his principles.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I like that. I can appreciate that. It's two people standing Tento's. I kind of respect that. He did like Corey, dude. Corey's well-liked. Everybody's well-liked. No. No. No. No. It's two people standing ten toes. I kind of respect that. They do like Corey, dude. Corey's well-liked. Everyone's well-liked. No.
Starting point is 00:51:25 No. No. No. That's funny. No. Got any more? The rest are just great. I mean, there's really no negative.
Starting point is 00:51:33 I will say, there are a lot of recently good ones. The only ones I saw on Yelp, I didn't really read the Google reviews, is when you guys changed prices, that's when people kind of rebelled. Oh, that's good to know. Yeah. But I mean, you's good to know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:45 But I mean, you got to stay competitive. Yeah. I think we know what the right time is. We talked about it. No one likes prices to be raised, but at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:51:53 he's cool. I will say there are so many levels to why you have to raise. The people in the past who pressured me wouldn't let up. We just discussed it
Starting point is 00:51:59 and we know when the right time is. Yeah. This would be a good one to kind of tie the bow on it because this hits everybody.

There's going to be about three minutes
Starting point is 01:00:30 and 45 seconds worth of content in this. As long as we're still open-ended to this, I'm happy. It's all going to get canceled. We're definitely rolling the dice.
Starting point is 01:00:37 We're rolling the dice. But what were we saying? Oh, it's designs. I don't do designs. Do you do designs in your shit? I just want to finish the question now. We'll send it to you

Wait, he's got orange hair too, dude. So you've got some shag going on. Are you serious? Shag carpet. I don't shave too often.

Starting point is 01:03:22 oh i don't i don't like that I hear some women get it lasered. That's a talk. I don't know if it's true or not. Nowadays, a lot of the newer things, they brought it back to Little 70s Bush. Really? I'm not a fan of that. I grew up on Bald is Mr. Clean.
Starting point is 01:03:41 I'm not a fan of that. Yeah, I think that was the norm. Times have changed. Yeah, I'm not a fan. Also, I got to ask the norm but times have changed yeah I'm not a fan I gotta ask this is very important to me as a comedian yeah
Starting point is 01:03:49 the Andrew Schultz haircut what is happening on top of his head who's Andrew Schultz I hate to take it away from the pee comments but I'm like so behind
Starting point is 01:03:57 you're talking about the skin no fade thing going on what is that even why is he doing that I have no idea I have no idea I don't know who he is
Starting point is 01:04:04 it's gotta be a part of a bit I think no idea. I don't know who he is. That's part of a bit. I think he means it. That's the craziest part. It takes some precision. You can't fuck off and do that haircut. There's no fade, it looks like.
Starting point is 01:04:19 No, there's no blend to it whatsoever. Yeah, I don't like it. It's Yeah, I don't like it. It's crazy. I don't like it. I don't like it. It's cool. Can I see the guy?
Starting point is 01:04:30 Can I see him? Oh, yeah. He looks just like Tony's customer today. He must have been trying to do that look. Really? I didn't see that. He looked identical. I mean, look, if you're...
Starting point is 01:04:43 It just kind of looks like, look at me. You know what I mean? With the mustache? It feels... He's got enough people looking at him, though. Non-stop people looking at him. You'd think he'd be a little more calculated. Is that the guy?
Starting point is 01:04:52 The one that's people banging his wife and stuff like that? Is that the dude? No. Not that I know of, but I could see... That's the haircut for it. I forget what story I'm talking about. Yeah, it's a bad haircut. It's a very, very...
Starting point is 01:05:00 It does look like it's a medium... He looks a little bit like a good-looking Hitler. It is. Yeah, he looks like a low-ranking 1940s German officer. Yeah, he looks like a German soldier. It's a bad haircut. Yeah, it's the worst. It's a bad haircut.
Starting point is 01:05:14 I don't mind it. Dude, see, I'm here to serve. If the guy shows me a picture and he wants that, you give him what he wants. You would just try not to give the guy the haircut? Yeah, I would completely not do it. No, I wouldn't like you. No, I would not do it. This was always right. Customers, yeah. Not always. If that's what he wants, you're going to say to the guy... You yeah i would i would completely not do it no i wouldn't like you no i would not do it right customers yeah not always if that's what he wants you're gonna say to the guy i'm not gonna be a successor i would be like bro that's fucking ridiculous i'm not
Starting point is 01:05:32 giving you that haircut he would never i don't think i think a bigger game yeah he's talking bigger game than he uh no no no no no you gotta come in here and answer that haircut next time he fans me with it all the time i was like me for something and I was like, I don't think we should do that. I've given like loose ideas and you're like, here's a better concept of what you're trying to say. There's a way
Starting point is 01:05:51 where you can ask. I would not do that. Matt gives me loose ideas all the time and then I also do the same thing you do and he goes, nah, you're kind of right.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Yeah, no, no. I'm Dr. Loose Ideas. If he wouldn't, if he wouldn't, he turtles very well. I would, I would, great guy.
Starting point is 01:06:03 Matt's a little loose in his point of view. Great guy. He turtles. I don I would. Great guy. Strongly. Great guy. He turtles. I don't want my name in that haircut. That's a good point. He's not going to go around yelling about, hey, where do you go get your cut? I mean, he gets enough attention from it.
Starting point is 01:06:15 I mean, if I was Andrew Schultz Barber. Yeah. True. I would be like going out after the cut and going out in front and be like, he got me right today and tagging it with Nice for What by Drake playing in the background. Someone good did it. A very skilled barber did it.
Starting point is 01:06:33 There's nothing wrong with that as long as he switches it up. The top looks great, and it takes precision to make that line. You have to stare in the mirror and make sure everything's aligned. It's selling because the guy in here got the same haircut today. I'm telling you. I personally wouldn't do it. Yeah. Watch everybody
Starting point is 01:06:49 start getting that haircut now. I would say three or four times if they were like, oh, I want to do it. After that fourth time, I'm like, fuck it. We'll do it. But he's also Andrew Schultz. He's a gazillionaire. He's like, I can do whatever. He's a gazillionaire. What's he do? He's a comedian. Oh, he's a comedian. Really? How come I never heard of him? Probably because you're an asshole. I just don't watch comedy. I'm sorry. I want to do comedy, but I don't. What's he do? He's a comedian. He's lovely. Oh, he's a comedian. Really? How come I never heard of him?
Starting point is 01:07:06 Probably because you're an asshole. I just don't watch comedy. I'm sorry. I want to do comedy, but I don't. There's so many comedians out there. I know. They're so good and doing so well. I know. I feel like sometimes it just goes by the wayside.
Starting point is 01:07:13 You're like, oh yeah, I forgot that he's like a millionaire. Really? Dude, there's that much more in comedy right now? Fuck yeah. Oh yeah. There's a comedy boom. Are you serious? What do you think about that thing?
Starting point is 01:07:23 I think it's around for a while. Before Dane Cook, you could argue that the mid for a while before Dane Cook you could argue that like the mid 90s to like Dane Cook-ish area was kind of like a slow I thought this other guy was the main guy it's an advanced form
Starting point is 01:07:34 of Shane Gillis as a man dude I thought he was the top of the line he's up there oh well Gillis is probably that's what these guys are saying in here
Starting point is 01:07:40 watch him Gillis is probably the largest touring comedian I would say right now Matt is it true he's from PA and he's he was at Helium
Starting point is 01:07:46 yeah did you he dropped in on one of my shows I did a little while ago are you kidding
Starting point is 01:07:51 me yeah it was cool that's awesome yeah are you interested in getting in this um
Starting point is 01:07:54 kill Tony thing if he was around I'd try to hop on I heard it's coming to PA yeah they do like theaters
Starting point is 01:08:00 and stuff I mean they're so big that they don't even go to the clubs yeah they go to the stadium I don't even go to the clubs. They used to run on Madison Square Garden, and that was before the Trump rally. Yeah, they'd be able to go to the stadium. I don't know. Stadium would never be conducive.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Wait, were they? Oh, you're talking about- I heard rumors he's coming to Philly. I don't know if that's true. Wells Fargo Center, you're talking about. Yeah. You think he would? Gillis just did Wells Fargo.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Yeah. And there was a guy that he had open. He's a really funny comedian. His name's Charles Blisnick, and his mic was like disconnected because you're a wireless mic because you're connected to the entire arenas so as you move things what's that as you move is it like coming off it could get fucked up at any moment you have no idea why and he was bombing so imagine bombing and your mic's fucked up well he's bombing because the mic is fucked up so i'll be telling you a joke and i'll be like me and my girlfriend girlfriend went to. No way. Drops it on me.
Starting point is 01:08:45 And like that kind of like you're missing half of the joke. Oh, my gosh. And he's funny, dude. Just watch. There's a video of him. Oh, that's terrible. And they're all blacked out Gillis fans. So there's no sympathy.
Starting point is 01:08:56 They're not kind of like, oh, we can understand the mics fucked up. They're like, this guy sucks. Get him out of here. What was the biggest crowd you ever performed on? How many people? 500, probably. Oh, wow. 500, 600.
Starting point is 01:09:05 Yeah. Damn. That's a lot of people. But it makes no difference. Once you get past 100, it's the same thing. What was that? I was at 65 the other night. Is it true that with the lights and stuff, you can't see past the first couple of rows?
Starting point is 01:09:16 Well, that was what I was doing. Yeah, until you go in there and the lights are on, you fucking see all the seats. When you get on stage, there's a feeling that your penis and asshole do that you can only replicate getting in front of a large amount of people like you get up there and there's just like a tension that builds and you're schmeckled up and the butthole's tight and then the moment you get a laugh it's the funniest thing you go from the biggest nerves the minute you get a laugh you're like i'm the fucking man the beer helped the beer helped. I drank the beer, which I never did. And that was huge. That beer stuff is huge. I drank one beer and I was...
Starting point is 01:09:47 You got some feel-good properties in there. That's right. That definitely loosened me up. Well, look, I mean, this was... Thank you, guys. So fun. This was incredible. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:58 This was so much fun. No, thank you, guys. I hope the fans like it, honestly. Yeah. Oh, they will. And you guys can use this spot again if you wanted to, too. Yeah. If you guys want to interview somebody again if you wanted to, too. Yeah. If you guys want to interview somebody else.

Starting point is 01:10:45 Or on air? Yeah. Probably worth like eight grand now, 10 grand. That thing might be climactic. I thought it was going to be like 80. 14. Why is that thing worth so much? That's an old hand crank, too.
Starting point is 01:10:56 They used to pump it back in the day, turn it around. Why is it worth so much? It's a freestanding barber pole. You won't see many of them. You'll get a pedestal. Go find one. You'll see them on the building, but you won't see a pedestal one. That's old school.
