MESS with Sydnee Washington & Marie Faustin - "The Dog Walker / Debt Expert" with Andrew Colin

Episode Date: March 16, 2018

Get into this episode. Originally we had Andrew Colin on to roast him for being a dog walker. Especially coming from a family that's financially successful. Sydnee actually waited on his brother (who ...is a great tipper). The episode ends up turning to a real heart to heart because of Andrew's debt & money problems. We talk about nepotism, gambling, and making all the money then losing it. Andrew has a real story that almost makes us cry. Sit back and take notes on how to not mess up your white privilege.Follow our guest: Instagram & Twitter: @andrewtcolinListen to his podcast: The Happy Never After Podcast----Listen to The Unofficial Expert Ad-Free on Forever Dog Plus:https://foreverdogpodcasts.com/plus----BONUS EPISODES AVAILABLE NOW ON PATREON:www.patreon.com/TheUnofficialExpertBUY UNOFFICIAL EXPERT MERCH:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/the-unofficial-expert-podcastFOLLOW THE UNOFFICIAL EXPERT:https://www.instagram.com/UnofficialExpertFOLLOW SYDNEE:https://www.instagram.com/JustSYDbwhttps://twitter.com/justsydnycFOLLOW MARIE:https://www.instagram.com/Reeezyhttps://twitter.com/MsReeezyFOLLOW ANDREW:https://www.instagram.com/mcgui_guyTHE UNOFFICIAL EXPERT IS A FOREVER DOG PODCASThttps://foreverdogpodcasts.com/podcasts/the-unofficial-expertSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But it was like, my dad was like, no, bitch, I'm not paying 40 grand a year for you to
Starting point is 00:22:39 friggin' be in a thespian, you know? Thespian. Yeah. Friggin' Alan Conley. Dr. Conley knows what he's doing.

Starting point is 00:22:51 He knew what he was going to do. He had Warren Buffett books when he was seven, you know what I mean? But me, I was always the silly fucking idiot, you know? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:45:25 end up getting a job with him and um we work in factories like doing lean manufacturing where you like make everything run more efficient you know you've had the fucking hardest life you're like a coal miner like that's what you feel like it's like a weird it's a weird like yeah you're like a coal miner coal miner but yeah so i end up working in the factories and then they had you in a factory like it was 1912 i'm like i'm watching people hand shit i'm going i'm timing them like it's like i'm fucked up dude i'm like i'm figuring out ways to run things more efficiently so they could essentially uh fire people you was snitching out on yeah i was like yo fucking fucking you know chris can only do seven packages in an hour fuck that dude he's out of here you
Starting point is 00:46:09 know let's get a robot you got people fired pretty much but it was a good job and uh so then i end up And then you got fired. No, I quit. I ended up working in Dayton, Ohio. I was doing a night shift running a whole factory. What? What? I don't even know how I ended up there.
Starting point is 00:46:25 I was here for a screenwriting class. You ended up in Ohio. Yeah, I wanted to be an artist. So now I'm working. Do you think you have ADD? Oh, yeah, sure. Because I'm like, you're all over the place, my man. I know.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Literally. All over. I know. Like, literally. Like, Florida, New Orleans. You couldn't stay there. Oh, my life is ADD. Yeah, it's ADHD.
Starting point is 00:46:41 I was, yeah, I've always had ADD. Okay. so then i end up having a panic attack and i end up because you're moving around a lot dude yeah i'm in this factory i'm doing i'm working the night shift i don't know if you ever worked well you work at a so you know how the night can fuck with you but imagine like in a factory with like don't say like i know because i don't know about this coal mining like no but no like you work late nights so um i end up going back to florida and then how do i get the dog so i'm trying to get to florida i don't know if you're the dog walking expert you might just be like the white
Starting point is 00:47:15 man doing bad expert yeah yeah because honestly like everything that you've been through is like but honestly i can't tell on your face like at all like and you're so cool and whenever i talk to you i'm like oh this is the first time i'm here and all this i said andrew yeah my friend yeah i know but it's like i don't know it's weird it's like i don't care so about the up it's more like the depression and like dealing with yourself and i never stopped to deal with my shit because you're you're constantly moving you just want to get to the next well a lot with money too because i thought if i could get the money back i could be happy again and i could be a success but you had money and you weren't happy i know but when you're negative money you just need to get back to zero
Starting point is 00:48:00 you know what i mean just to be even though but in your mind that doesn't even get you know you just don't and you're always pushing you always push yeah which is funny because with lean manufacturing what you learn is it's a pull system so it's like you shouldn't go on the next thing until the one thing is done but i always went on to the next thing yeah man you had you had a bunch of things yeah i had a lot of things and so i like have anxiety and panic and so finally i come back to new york in that place you kind of all the things that you were doing would push anybody into having anxiety yeah yeah that's true too on top of already having yeah so then i end up taking a a comedy class my buddy got divorced and this and he was sad and he was like let's be comedians
Starting point is 00:48:42 well his well his friends bought him this uh stand-up class to for him to like talk about his you know i mean just to whatever and he's like they were tired of listening to him they're like yeah you should go talk to him yeah yeah either go to therapy or the stand-up class was cheaper than therapy so they were like you get eight classes so he's like y'all pay for your class and i took the class and i ended up you know a lot i mean i fucking did the first show and i was like this is what i wow this is for me you know what i mean like for the first time it wasn't about family it wasn't about asking people for shit i was like oh this is all me you know what i mean like i'm on stage i wrote this shit i'm taking ownership of it i'm not
Starting point is 00:49:23 paying a crack at five hundred dollars i'm not paying a crack to play me i am paying a crack at the improv right two hundred dollars but yes and crack yeah yeah that says my jokes are great but but it felt like i don't know it just fucking it felt like legit beautiful it was beautiful i'm almost like i was like oh my god i feel like people listening to this or they were waiting for you to be like and then i died you know because the story sounded like it was going it's i know There is, like, a positive, I guess. I mean, I guess the positive is I came to New York a year later. After you took the class.
Starting point is 00:49:56 After I took the class. Now, the funny thing is, like, you go through something like that, and you're like, oh, I finally found something for me. But even that kind of dies down. You know what I mean? Yeah, because you always want to get to the next thing. Especially in comedy, you're like, finally you get your five minutes. Then you're like, oh, I need to get more time.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Then I need to get more stage time. Then, oh, wait, I want to be on TV. I want to travel. Well, because you can't just do the same thing in stand-up or in anything, right? You've got to get to the next level. Yeah, well, the idea of the next level, that's not going to bring you to happiness, though, I don't think. It's like having happiness within your life. Do you have happiness within your life?
Starting point is 00:50:31 Not yet, but I'm getting there. I think I am getting there. I think what is interesting, though, is you come here, and New York is a fucking monster. It is. And no matter how people are like, New York's off now. It's still a monster. The competition's insane. Oh, listen, and people step over homeless people all the time, and people fuck over their friends.
Starting point is 00:50:49 So, yeah, it is ruthless. Well, I mean, you get kind of, like, numb to it, right? You see homeless people all the time. Like, I'll be on the train, and, like, three homeless people in a row will come up with a sad story. And we're like, well, you should have came first. Our early homeless person gets the bird, right? You're not going to be here. Your shoes are too clean.
Starting point is 00:51:04 How is your fucking face shaved if you're homeless? Exactly. So, long story short, I guess, is getting back to dog walking. And then I got into dog walking because a more successful comedian owned a dog walking business. And I was like, yo, I'll get that job. That might help me kind of finagle my way. But I was trying to skip the hard work.
Starting point is 00:51:26 You know what I mean? Again, trying to skip. That's what it's all about is like putting in the hard work. And that's how you get the reward. Not trying to get that quick money, which isn't going to give you that fucking that whatever that is. Andrew, you have to do a fucking TED Talk. It's for real.
Starting point is 00:51:40 This is some next level shit That can help somebody Because I wouldn't even have thought About all this stuff that you've been through That got you to this point He's trying to help himself still So let him figure it out I know but I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:51:53 I've tried to do a one man show I wrote a one man show I just need to figure I should just say what I just said We just play this and we'll just drink martinis I already did all the work So anyway it so i end up getting a dog walking job and and you know you do that and it's like i'm not a dog
Starting point is 00:52:15 walker though but then new york it will fucking eat away the next thing you know it's five years later i'm still doing comedy you know i'm running a couple shows like things are you know i think i'm like respected and like people think i'm funny and shit you are put in the time but the less you get shit the more you're becoming a dog like like the dog walker that's how i was feeling with waitressing yeah i was like man i'm spending two i'm spending all my weekends i'm doing my mondays i'm saying no to stuff because i want the money yeah but then i was like i'm still a waitress i want to move to the next level but you got to look at yourself as i'm a comedian that does waitressing and it's hard to look at it that way especially when you're fucking dealing with ass
Starting point is 00:52:56 like you're dealing with shit yeah all day so it's hard to be yeah but i'm just a dog no it's Like, every day, I'm walking dogs in 30 degrees, picking up shit. Yeah. I'm on the subway. Every day. You know what I mean? You don't have a day off? Nah.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Well, whatever. But it's funny. Like, dog walking has taken me. Like, I've met some great owners that love me. Yeah, there's people who got, like. They bought me a laptop. Like, you know, I'm working now for a very successful comedian that saw my dance videos with the dogs, which got me to that.
Starting point is 00:53:25 And now I'm, like, opening for that comedian. Oh, wow. At Caroline's. Oh, that's great. So it's like these weird things, they kind of add up through the hard work and shit. Andrew, I think something's going to come for you. I really do. I think the way you're learning and the funnier you get
Starting point is 00:53:41 and the more dedicated you are to comedy, I really see it. That was the nicest thing you've ever said on the podcast. Yeah, thank you. I hope so, too. I was mean in the beginning, and I'm sorry. And whatever the success is, it's like, I started therapy five months ago. and like to anyone more than anything is like yo that shit is the best thing ever did you stop and you analyze yourself and you breathe a little bit so you don't push the next thing and because of
Starting point is 00:54:08 therapy i went and got like you know i was always a hypochondriac i went and dealt with that shit i went to the doctor you know what i mean okay so you you you did go to therapy and it's actually helping you yeah therapy's in the bed and then like i went and met with an accountant and i'm like i'm gonna finally take your ownership of the money and it's like i'm trying to do that you But that shit I've always put to the side because I haven't stopped and just been okay with myself. But now I can through picking up shit and being an expert at dog walking. That's not what you're an expert.
Starting point is 00:54:38 We've got to change your expertise, dude, because that's not even it. That's not what you are. It's kind of funny, though, because I'll come at them sideways. But, yeah, you can change it. I mean, it would be funny if somebody's waiting for the dog walk and they're like, well, where's the dog walking at? There are some funny stories of dog walking. But your story is more than that.
Starting point is 00:54:53 But I personally think that your brother knows how hard you're working, and he's, like, super helpful and supportive of you. And I saw how you guys were at the bar, and I think he really— He does. He's on your side. 100%. What's the age difference between you? I think it took, like, three years. And then I have a six-year younger brother.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Oh, we didn't even talk about the other brother. What does he do? He's good. He lives in New York. He's getting married in a month. It's awesome. What does he do? He does, like, sales, but he does well.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Oh, he sells drugs. Okay. Yeah, he sells drugs. He's that high maintenance dude. He does good. He does good. He works hard and he's got a great fiance. It's awesome.
Starting point is 00:55:30 I feel like people need to know, more people need to know your story because I had no idea. So the story behind what you're doing, I'm like, oh, now I, or maybe you, I don't know if you talk about it on stage. I talk a little bit about it on stage. I mean, it's a long story. It's a hard, it's a hard, dude, money is hard. More than sex, more than anything, talking about money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:50 crowds don't want to hear about, I don't know, they don't come there to hear about death. I don't know, it's like... Well, when I'm at a comedy show, or I used to go to Mike's, I don't want to hear your sad stuff. I want to hear the funny stuff. Well, I think there's a lot of funny and sad. I mean, all my
Starting point is 00:56:07 comedy... We laughed most of the podcast. All my comedy is in sad. Well, that's because we're mean. Even in my other jokes, it's all you know, all that shit. Right. There is humor in sadness, but people who have not found the humor yet and they're just up there using comedy
Starting point is 00:56:23 as therapy. That sucks. I'm not here for that. I feel like I've found the humor and I still think even if you find the humor and money is this hard, dude, it's this hard talking about debt. Like once you bring up debt, I don't know, for some reason, debt is like the worst in like death. You're the debt expert. Yeah. Because it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:56:39 But the crazy thing is so many, everybody is in debt. I know. Anybody who went to college is in debt. But I think that's why they don't want to hear about that. Because you're reminding them. were like yeah it's like yeah okay i'm in student debt and my dad didn't pay for my college and you're complaining motherfucker so it's like yeah so you just gotta if it's a one-man show and they know what they're getting into it'd be different but yeah yes work on that dude work on it i see
Starting point is 00:57:03 it i'm i'm super interested and i i see how funny you are and i had a good time honestly if you're listening to this still uh and andrew's actually a really really funny comedian on stage to watch he is because this thank you like you weren't like it was an lol today because you're talking about something that's real and i think the way that you're telling the story is super visual like i can see everything that you're talking about yeah but i also think as comedians we want to make things so funny and then sometimes you got to take the time out and be like now hold on sit on this because it is a lot it's a lot and people you people need to take that shit serious i know because i think that's how comedians get so far to depression and alcoholism and drugs and
Starting point is 00:57:43 shit because they don't really sit down and be like okay this is seriously what's going on something i need it's not fucking funny i do need to go to therapy i do need to stop whatever i'm doing yeah but some comedians don't believe in therapy because you know they're well the therapy the drinking like dude stuff like that like i mean drinking's fine but it's like for me it doesn't work you know you just gotta figure out what works for you some people can fucking do a heck and get hung over within an hour they're like fucking writing and they're like being productive I mean, it works for some people. It's just what works for you, just stop to like take that.
Starting point is 00:58:15 And what works for other people doesn't necessarily mean it's going to work for you. Yeah, don't project on other people. You're all just doing me. This is going to do you. You know what I mean? It's like, whatever, do you. So what's next for you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:25 So there's like a couple of things that are pretty interesting. We have a podcast called Happy Never After, me and Mara Merrick. I wasn't really even, we weren't, we're kind of talking about this, but like we're planning on doing a bike ride across the country. Wow. to raise a million bucks for the million dollars that you lost yeah yeah that's a great kickstarter money i know this is why i do this whole thing that's a kickstarter for real though so no so no we put we legit we partnered up this is what this whole podcast is
Starting point is 00:58:59 i see what you did there dude i'm not even kidding that was my idea for the one-man show to end and be like and uh we if we didn't sell this to netflix so if you could just put some money in a hat you know what i mean people do it all the time so don't even be ashamed yeah do it no no so no the idea though is no we're like going to like real sponsorship not to like our friends but like the idea is and i didn't want to really even say because who knows but like we really do have money raised already and we partnered up with futures without violence which is a with his uh domestic abuse uh charity okay and uh yeah it's pretty dope and like so like we have like we're gonna do like we're trying for 60 shows in 60 days is the idea but like i don't
Starting point is 00:59:48 think y'all really gonna ride bikes yeah mar is like a professional cyclist no like bike bikes uh let me see your calves that ain't there yet i'm like you gotta train your ass off you gotta really take it serious i know you gotta watch your diet like that's a lot i know what time of the years it's gonna happen uh tomorrow you can't go when it's too hot what time is it that's why i bought my toothpaste right so no it's gonna be you can't go when it's too cold planning on leaving august 15th and doing a show at caroline's to like launch it off and like yeah dude it's uh it's an insane undertaking but i feel like something like that like you know what it is it's like i feel like you you go through it all the time in new york it's like you wait to get
Starting point is 01:00:33 stuff and it's like you wait for you know i just had my show canceled for me at new york comedy club canceled for you yeah canceled for me they're like we're gonna take this off your plate we're gonna call it we're gonna call it you're sad enough we're gonna take this whatever but like you wait for things that like for people to recognize you well i think that's a that's something that people who are creative usually do right you're you're waiting for people to recognize that you're talented you're waiting for people you gotta make the opportunity for yourself you gotta open your own doors exactly it's like we live in a digital age like people are people got millions of followers yeah you're awesome you have to hustle i'm gonna that's why
Starting point is 01:01:10 i'm going to la because i feel like i gotta do something different than what i'm doing here even if i'm doing the same crap in la different people are seeing it yeah true which is like a different way fresh set eyes right well you all kill it i think you guys are great and i'm very happy that you have me on this because i do really think like you guys have grown so not even grown I hate that word because it's like I remember when you were shit no no

Starting point is 01:02:34 whether you have access or not it's like you get that chunk watching 30 for 30 is real life and it's and you have to see it you have to watch so many of those to be like dude this is happening to some because people like how could you spend all that money uh 80 million that's how do you watch if you watch five of these that's exactly how you lose all of it okay so andrew where can people who are listening catch you and what if somebody has like a legit question and they want to like talk to you about it so um i mean i'm gonna instagram or twitter at andrew t collin andrew t the t is for thomas yeah it's for todd todd todd and that's wealth todd no no no poor todd andrew todd i hate the middle name ty the name you should just go by todd yeah todd like
