Shark.com You want me to stand up? You're asking me to stand up? Get out of your seat. I'm not going to get out of my seat. Show me some respect. Get up. Get up.

We're getting excited for the episode. That's what the music is about. You like dance and you get happy. It's not me showing you respect. I want you to get up and give me a standing ovation. You didn't even do anything. You're not me showing you respect. I want you to get up and give me a standing ovation. You didn't even do anything. I'm humbled. You're not humbled. You didn't do shit. You pressed the play

button. Someone else wrote and performed the song. Alright, alright. Let's just get up and we'll start on a whole new note. You're trying to clear the air and then also asking me to do what you've been trying to get from the beginning. Watch out when you get up for the... Tell the mic's going to like.

Tell you what, if I stand up, I'm going to leave. Oh, wow. Do you still want me to stand? No. I want you to stay, obviously. I wanted you to give me an ovation. I did ovate. I clapped.

No. But not quite a standing ovation. Not at all a standing ovation. I saw you like considering it. I didn't. Absolutely did not. You flo quite a standing ovation. Not at all a standing ovation. I saw you like considering it. I didn't. Absolutely did not. You floated a bit. I didn't float. Don't try to sneak deference in there for you. If I am ever a musician, I'm going to beg for a standing O.

I was thinking, well, I mean, that's a little sad, but I think I'm going to become more of a musician. I think like the art that we do is cool but it's like mostly comedy which isn't like that sexy it's entirely comedy yeah

I think I'm gonna get more into like music and tunes and that kind of shit like funny silly songs like I'm uh eating yogurt

today I mean that's I don't love I'm eating yogurt today cause it's not like it's not hot like seeing somebody in the club. Or even just like emo like getting lost in the woods with someone, you know?

So you want to go for like comedy just to completely like sexy music? Yeah, kind of like a Father John Misty meets a Drake or something. But they never did comedy. Yeah, well, Drake did acting and Father John Misty did music probably from the get-go, but I could probably

dip in and do that. I could also paint. There's something like, or like photography. You're already moving on. I don't know how to sing is all. Yeah. So how hard could it be

to take a photo? That one is... I'll do photography. Okay, but you're still not going to get like a crowd. I'll be like moody about it. okay but you're still not gonna get like moody about it yeah you're not gonna get like an audience or a following taking photos of people i could do like an artist well if i especially if i do like an opening where i have like a gallery of like these portraits and i also what's an example of a gallery of a portrait or an artist that is like a portrait yeah i. I would go to like an old folks home and take like really, really like stunning photos, like HD of like the fucking geezers or whatever in there and like learn their dumb ass life stories.

And I would like make a little quote about like the bullshit, whatever they did. And then like, it would feel really emotional because it's like, it was like, oh, that could be my grandma. But she's like, did some other stupid shit that I would write about. Why do you want to harass old people instead of do comedy? I'm taking photographs of them. But you call them dumbasses, geezers and stuff like that. How old was I when you visited your grandparents?

My grandparents all passed. Sorry to hear that. No, geezers, and stuff like that. How about the last time you visited your grandparents? My grandparents all passed. I'm sorry to hear that. No, you're not. You're smiling. I feel like I'm memorialized at my art show. Did I mention there was going to be an accompanying album? Did I mention there would be an accompanying album? You can't take photos of my grandfather.

He passed away before I was born. If there's a photo that exists that someone else took that you really liked and I could just even like- What? Take a photo of it? No, I wouldn't- Scan it? If I could scan a photo of your grandfather, blow it up, make up something that he did that sounded really cool or heroic or humble or neat.

He did a lot of stuff. You don't have to make it up. Okay. He helped built towns in Israel before it was even a country. So I would write like don't worry about what you would like to give him a quote otherwise it's just like uh this guy built a fucking town now i'll work on the quote you don't have to come up with shit or make up the quote because otherwise it's gonna sound so stupid it's just gonna be like this guy helped

do a town no i didn't say that's not bad no no yes it is bad to do this guy helped do a town? No, I didn't say that. Actually, that's not bad. No, it's, yes, it is bad. I helped to do a town. This guy helped do a town. That doesn't, so yeah. It doesn't say what he did. And then it's black and white. Yeah, it could be a lot of the photos. With like a lens flare type thing,

almost like a flash bulb went off, like it was an early photo. What would that give you that comedy hasn't provided? Like, what are you hoping to get out of this? I think. Radical career shift. You were going to do music for like, probably 30 seconds. Well, what are you hoping to get out of this radical career shift? You were going to do music for, like, probably 30 seconds.

Well, I still might do an album release at the same night as the show, as, like, the gala or something. I guess I just, like, would be interested in having status and respect from hot people. You never really see, like, a super, super hot bunch of people at a comedy show.

It's all, like like comedy nerds. They're not sexy to me. I think that like, does Emily Rachinowski go to an improv set? I don't know who that is. She goes to a fucking gala. And she would go to an album release party. Especially if I'm doing it.

Well, I'd have to have that. You're not a musician. You're not a musician you're not a musician you're not hot you don't have hot fans or friends or followers and don't

fucking take a picture of my deceased grandfather and say he did a town cause that won't get you who was it Emily Ratajkowski to go to a fucking gala you said

where they're debuting my opening where I have a fucking acoustic guitar and I'm doing an acoustic set of my songs you can't you can't do that you can't do that you're going at it

the wrong way it's usually like artists have like watch me they have like a message to say and then next time we do a podcast next time we do a podcast next time we do one of these next time we do one of these and it's time for us to promote our whatever shit you're promoting your dumb ass twitter i'll be promoting my fucking gallery opening okay and i'll be promoting my album

that's not comedy album that has a fucking song called the black void on it why okay because that's this fucking emotional thing the black void void. And then, like, I did a town on the back. You did a what? I did a town. I did a town. On the back of the CD. The fuck are you talking about? What are you talking about?

I got into a really bad car accident on the way here. Yeah. Okay. Alright. So? A little frazzled is all. My life flashed before my eyes and all I saw was a bunch of fucking UCB shows. You barely do that. You barely do UCB shows.

I go to them. Yeah. You go to improv. You want to go from going to improv to creating an album. Or doing a town. And a hot release party. Or doing a town. Yeah. And that's what you got out of your near-death experience.

That, I'm assuming, you caused? Yeah, I caused it. Yeah. You were tweeting while driving and you rear-ended someone. I was tweeting about an album idea I had. All right. Well, for now, let's focus on what we actually have to do. Right.

Which is this bonus Thursday video Patreon sexclusive. That would have been my idea. All right. Well, for now, let's focus on what we actually have to do. Right. Which is this bonus Thursday video, Patreon sexclusive. Sexclusive. That's right. That means it's sexy and exclusive. Answering questions, no breaks, no sponsors, just me and you hashing it out. Let's go at it. Question number one.

This is from a guy, a 20-year-old college student in America. Nice. So we'll call him Chuck. Chuck writes, Dear Billy Goat Gruff and Goaty the Kid. Whoa. Goat show reference. I'm going to probably stop doing that podcast when I do my album and art show. But for now, Goat Show Podcast. It's another show.

Okay. Anywho. Why would anybody listen to it? You're going to leave. There's going to be at least a couple episodes before I get my art show off the ground. I need a space, and I need a recording studio, a camera, and I need access to an old person's home.

You need everything. You barely have an idea. I'm a 20-year-old college student from America. That's how life is fleeting. What's that? That's how life is fleeting? Life is fleeting. It has no meaning.

Now I'm at an old folks home. The song's about your other career? No. What are you talking about my other career? Your song's about the portraits you want to take. It doesn't... No, it should be more vague. It should be more vague.

It won't be about the old folks home. Great. Life is leading has no meaning is cryptic enough that it's about both. It's not cryptic. It's very specific. But it's got... That's connected. And I won't do that it's at old folks home.

Okay. That's not my only note, by the way. So I don't think you addressed every flaw in your plan. It has no meaning. Where do we go when we die? Nice. I'm going to read this. Fine, I'm fucking thinking of songs.

I'm a 20-year-old college student in America, and I've been hooking up with my co-worker for the past six months. It was fun at first, but I knew from the start things would not last between us. Now six months later, I'm ready to call it quits. But there's one problem. We have many classes together, and we work together on campus,

and next year will as well. How do I end this relationship without complicating the work and school life? It's not like there's anything specifically wrong with her. I just don't feel the same way I felt before, and it feels like we're closing ourselves off from meeting new people. Help. Love. Shock. Life is fleeting. It has no meaning. Where do we go when we die? But where are we when we're alive? The crux of the song is that you're pondering your mortality, but really we should be wondering about what we do with our time. Anyway, this guy should break up with this girl.

Because he's, much like the person in your song, worried about the afterlife. How is it going to affect everything? It's going to be awkward. Yeah, but what you really have to be worried about is the now and you're upset right now. Yeah. In the future, it might be bad or it might be good. At least that much is unknown. So, you might as well untether yourself from the unpleasant experience that you know to get to the whatever potential experience of your future. Yeah. Life is fleeting. It has no meaning.

I'm not even wearing a headphone, so it's really high-pitched to listen to you. We'll be happy when we're alive. Oh, my God. There's two hot fans. No way. Yeah, from Sweden. Emily Rachinowskiewicz.

And some jacked dude named Lars. Shit. Did you bring your boyfriend? Fuck, people go to shows with their significant others. Don't worry about hooking up at the show. The fact that you have hot fans is good. Why would I not worry about hooking up at the show?

That's all I'm starting a fucking art gallery for. Yeah, but worry about befriending these fans and then they'll introduce you to other friends. It doesn't doesn't have to be emily who's gonna like hook up with you she could be like hey let's hang out and then like she has other friends he's like yeah my friend jake we'll see we'll see yeah you are married by the way like completely unrelated to any of this oh oh your fingers are so thick they've thickened over the last year. Protecting the ring. You've gained a lot of hand weight, which is hard to do.

Hard to specify. All right. Next question. This one sort of is in the same genre as a falling for a co-worker situation. Okay. We'll call him Charles. A longer name of Chuck. Here's my predicament.

I'm 24 in New York, and I've been dating my current girlfriend for the past four years. We've never had any problems. And I was actually looking to propose this year. But recently I started to work with a friend from college, and I'm starting to fall for her. For the past month, we text all day, FaceTime nightly, hang out and watch movies together, go to brunch, etc. So you're already sort of cheating on your girlfriend. I'm starting to have conflicting feeling towards my current girlfriend. No, you're not starting to. Sounds like you've had them for a long time. The only thing is that I don't know if my work friend

feels the same way that I feel for her. Should I end it with my GF and give up everything we have for someone who may not even like me that way? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, toda. First thing you need to know is that you don't like your girlfriend whether or not you like this other person. Because if you did, this wouldn't be happening.

Just the fact that he's FaceTiming means that he's not too interested. So at the very least, you should be single because you're behaving a little bit like a single person. And I would also say that the work girl clearly likes him also. So you don't really have to worry about that. She's not facetiming nightly with her bud. There's nothing more flirty than a facetime nightly. Where is your girlfriend while this is

happening? Oh, sorry. Hey. Hey, babe. Oh, shit. That's it. Gonna cut it off right there. Again, if you want to listen to the rest of this podcast and about 30 others, check out patreon.com
