I bet you've sold more tickets than he has. No, I'm sure he's selling a lot. Definitely more than JLo though. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.

It's 2.30 in the morning. Oh, you cats and kittens, welcome back to The Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. This is the coot of my coot-ka-choo. Kristin Joy Holdley, best to you. Best to you, Brian. Best to you, Brian! Best to you out there in the podcast universe!

Kookachoo, Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know. Ho, ho, ho, ho! We were just talking about the lemon head and how brilliant the stars shone for about 30 seconds with that remake of Mrs. Robinson. Evan Dando, Evan Dando was the lead singer to that. I pulled that right out of my ass. And I just checked, they are on tour right now currently. They just played Atlanta like a week ago.

Oh, shit, we missed them. How could I have missed it? Yeah. They had that one song and then they had that other song. It was like Fall into Your Arms or something, Fall into You, Fall into Your Arms. And I was this close to buying the CD. Fall into your arms? Yeah, Fall into Your Arms. It's... Trust fall into my arms.

It's a team building exercise. On the Lemonhead. It's a TCB infomercial Tuesday. And today we have that guy, that dude that you know, he, I think he'll even readily admit this as the auto tune comedy guy, Morgan J. He's a internet viral sensation selling out everywhere that he goes. I mean, I look, this guy's fall tour fall really into summer, sold the fuck out. All the tickets are sold out. I mean, there's some cities where there's a few tickets available, but he really, he's hot. He is a hot one. Yeah. And so we're excited to have Morgan Jay on the auto-tune comedy guy. Uh, if you don't know Morgan, go to his social, just type

in Morgan, just type in Morgan on any of the social media platforms and Morgan Jay will come up. I think he was like five and a half million TikTok followers and a couple million Instagram followers. Yeah, morganjay.com you can get tickets if they're available to his tour. You can also check out his new special. It's not new, it's been out for a while,

but I watched it, I thought it was very funny. It's called Live From The Village. And yeah, he's got a shtick and he does it and he does it well. And you'll know what I'm talking about when you go see it. I thought it was very funny. It's called Live from the Village. And yeah, he's got a shtick and he does it and he does it well. And you'll know what I'm talking about when you go see it. I'm not going to try and give the whole thing away here. I'm sure Christine had played a clip at the beginning of the show. So Morgan's going to join us just here in a few minutes. But yeah, Christine and I, right before we got on, we're talking about, you know, one hit wonders, like, you know, the, where did some of these one hit wonders go? And I pulled out of my brain, somewhere out of my brain, the lemon heads. The lemon heads were, I think they actually formed in the 80s because Evan Dando was like

42 when Mrs. Robinson came out. He's got to be in his 70s now. I mean, right? I think? I don't know. I just love that name, Evan Dando. That is a good name. Jared Sussman Yeah, when I was in 33 Penis, which is also a great name. When I was in 33 Willy, I remember Evan Dando, it was right when Evan Dando and the Lemonheads were a thing. They were a thing for a minute because they redid a classic Simon and Garfunkel song called Mrs. Robbins. It's just Garfunkel or was it? Nicole Sussman Simon and Garfunkel, yeah. No, it was- Jared Sussman or was it? Beth Dombkowski Simon and Garfunkel, yeah, no.

Jared S this millennia. And so for like 30 seconds, the Lemonheads were the hottest thing since sliced bread, and this is right as grunge was coming about, but I think they had actually formed the band in like the earlier mid 80s. And I was thinking to myself, I remember in my brain, being at a CD store, like Wax and Facts or something here in Atlanta, and seeing that Lemonheads... Turtles. Turtles music, that's right. The song, or the CD with Mrs. Robinson on it, I remember debating with myself and Blue

whether or not I should buy the Lemonhead CD, but then I was like, ah, let me see if they get another song. It was such a different world back then. You would hear a band on the radio and you'd be like, oh, that's a good song, but it's not a reason to spend $20. On the whole CD. On the whole CD. It's not like now where you just-

Because you'd been burned before, because it did happen where you would go and that was a hot song, you'd go buy the whole CD and the rest of it was bad. It happened all the fucking time. You didn't have Apple Music, you know, wha-bam, you know, one song for five pennies. And what a terrible thing for the music industry in general,

but a wonderful thing for the consumer that now you could just go get a song back when iTunes was a thing, you buy one song for 99 cents or whatever it was. But back then you had to make a decision, that'd be a split second decision. You were going through a lot of CDs at that Turtles and you had to make a split second decision. Do I in fact want to invest $20 and two hours of my life

into this CD? Not until I hear a second good song. Yeah, you had to be sure. And that's why the CD swap places became very popular because you would buy CDs and then not like the rest of the whole thing. So, to take them and swap them. Before the iPhone, the iPhone came out,

I think the year that you and I started that clear channel, if I'm not mistaken, 2007 or 2008. Before the iPhone, iPod, but not everybody had iPod. So CDs were still a thing, right? So I remember- You could rip your CDs and then put that onto your iPod. You could do that. You could like dump it into your iPod.

You could put it into your computer and then dump it into your iPod. You could do that. You could like dump it into your iPod, you put it into your computer and then dump it into your iPad. It was a whole situation. Super computer. Super computer. Oh, the apple, the orange apple that I have sitting on my desk, which you can see right through it. It's amazing.

I can watch how the computer works. Thank you, Apple, Macintosh." And I remember that I had been lugging around from apartment to apartment, couch to couch, house to house, as I moved every two and a half months, probably because I didn't pay rent or something. I remember I was lugging around hundreds of CDs. So when I met Julia, my ex-wife, and she said, let's go get a place to get, like, come move in with me. You know, come in and move with me. Like a little puppy. Like, I was like a little puppy. And I remember I couldn't-

You live with me. I was living with Julia, but my roommate at the time said, hey, man, you're never here. Why are you even paying rent? Like, there's another dude I know that can pay rent and you don't, you know, if you're not here just go and I was like yeah But I don't really have any where to store my shit and he's like give me 50 bucks a month You put it in the garage So I'll never forget that one day Julie and I was like, okay time to get the stuff and we'll figure it out And there's that box of CDs and I mean just useless crap hundreds and hundreds of CDs

I collected over the years from promotional all kind of different I had to purge those a little while back. Yeah. So I went to one of those buy, sell, trade, shee-dee's here. And this is the age of the iPod, but just the brand new age of the iPod. And I went to that place and I'll never, I have never been more disappointed in my life. As the guy told me, yeah, I could probably give you 10 bucks. And, and I was like, yeah a piece shit man That's like a thousand dollars. That's crazy. And he's like no for the ball and I go ten dollars for the box There's like 250 CDs in here and he's like, yeah look around and I was like, okay What and he's like I probably have every one of those CDs and these are used you don't have half the jewel cases

I'm sure most of them are scratched and no one wants your shitty opinion on music like no one likes this shit anymore What Pearl Jam 10 everyone's got it? They're not gonna come here to buy it Allison Chains Congratulations, you bought it like every other knucklehead out there Do you have the lemon heads or any Avondando? That I'll pay for! Oh, fuck! That is so true. Another investment strategy by Brian going belly up. That's shit. Damn. Anyway, that

has nothing to do with our guest today. Morgan J, MorganJ.com. Go check him out. It's fun. He is funny, and he has so much fun with this crowd. And I'll tell him this, but there are parts where Morgan will stick a microphone in somebody's face and he'll auto tune them, like singing their name or what they're doing or how they fell in love with their girlfriend. He'll ask them a question, but then they'll sing it and he'll auto, it's going through an auto tune box. So it sounds really good. And there's someone always playing piano with them or keyboard or whatever it is. And sometimes Morgan gets emotional about it. He's like, you know, someone will hit that note, they'll be like, oh, it sounds so good. And I love it. It's a different form of entertainment.

I don't think there's anybody else doing this out there. I'm sure that there are other people who are doing it. They're just not in my algorithm. But he's really good at what he does and we're excited to have him. We've been waiting a long time for Mr. Morgan Jay to come on the show. And so here he is today. So why don't we do this, Chrissy? Yes. I'll give you an idea about what we can do. Awkward transition phase. I can take a break and then during that break, I'll bring Morgan on here live via telepodcasting and then we can have a conversation with him. Ask him all the questions, get down to all the nitty gritty, get his opinion on everything

that's going on in the world. That's right. I want to know who he's voting for. I want to know what his blood type is. I want to know if he's saving his semen for future children. I want to know if he's going to cryogenically freeze himself when he's dead. There's a lot of questions I have for him. And so let's get them on.

Let's do it. Thanks. Ha ha. My darlings, my angels, my sweet little cherubs. It's that time again, where I try to convince you to follow us on Instagram at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB podcast. We really don't post that much,

Thanks Morgan for spending some time with us. Hi Morgan. Hey, what's going on? What's up? How are we? We're good. Do you have auto going on? What's up? How are we? Yeah, we're good. Do you have auto-tune on?

I don't, I can put it on. I don't want you to do anything you're uncomfortable with. Oh, no, no, but give me a second. I will have to. Don't worry about it for right now. Let me talk to you for a second as Morgan and then I'd love to hear any auto-tunes because I actually think-

They're hilarious. I actually, you're like a magical, musical, mad hatter. I know you probably don't wanna be labeled, but let's play a little game. If someone in my audience has no fucking clue who Morgan Jay is, how do you describe what exactly you do on stage? I just tell them to Google the auto-tune comedy guy. I've embraced it.

I feel like I've been doing this like 17 years and I did stand-up, I did guitar comedy and then sometime around the pandemic I started toying with the auto tune and that's kind of become my claim to fame, which I'm, you know, if we're being honest, I'm just really asking people their name and auto tune and having a good time. I'm not going to pretend like, you know, I'm out here doing a billboard type of material, edginess, you know? But I'm clearly tapping into something that audiences want and like,

and I'll just keep doing that until they're not into it anymore, you know? And obviously there's people who are like, yeah, he only does this one thing, and I'm like, yeah, maybe that is true, but I don't know, people seem to like it, and I have fun doing it, so why would I stop? I shouldn't stop.

Listen, if I can do one thing that people remember me for in my entire life, I think I consider myself lucky. And so there is something that I notice in the audience, there is something almost mystical about you singing then allowing them to sing in a way that hits a beat. And when you do this thing, when you ask people their name while you're here, you're going to have fun, there's one reel where you hand the microphone to a guy, you stick it in his face and he hits a note. He hits a note, it's beautiful. Do you know what reel I'm talking

about? Yeah. There's three or four. There's Ryan, there's mean, there's literally three or four. Yeah, there's three or four. There's Ryan, there's Don, there's Ethan, and those are the three guys that have helped me sell all my tickets. When Ryan says his name, the audience goes berserk, but then you have a reaction to me that almost seems emotional. Like it's almost like you got chills.

Like you were gonna, I don't know. Like when you hear a song and you get that chills in your back. Yeah, I get filled with joy to see people to go out of their comfort zone. You know what I mean? It makes me so happy. So for me, I'm just like, yeah, I let it go.

And I think ultimately a lot of adults lose this kind of childlike wonder, this ability to play, this ability to embarrass themselves. And I feel like I'm creating a space where they can come to my show and not feel any sort of judgment or anything like that. You know, that's kind of how it is. When you were a kid, was music a part of the fabric of you growing up? Did you learn how to play music early on?

Yeah, I started at piano at around six. I kind of had a love-hate relationship with it because I just wanted to play video games growing up. And ultimately, it was my demise. My piano teacher was one of these teachers who wasn't in it for the money. Oh, no. And they were in it for...'s kind because they actually make you proud. Yes, they were like so eventually He just was like he was this guy from Russia He was in the heart Phil harmonic

He was like a you know class he was just like a classically trained pianist who played in the orchestra in Russia and was just like I'm not that you're wasting my time and your time and your mom's money and like, I'm not you're wasting my time and your time and your mom's money and like I'm just not going to do this anymore. He didn't he didn't sound like that obviously but it felt like some sort of telenovela where you know he while he like literally walked out in the middle of a lesson and I was like okay so but that but then I picked up the guitar and Took about two months of lessons and I just would play for myself for the most part you were learning by ear a

Little bit. I mean I learned some chords and you know, it's good to have it's good to have a couple lessons so you hit a benchmark and have a Assignment you have to get that kind of energy. You know what I mean? So That's kind of what it was for me. So when you, and I'm a Matt, you grew up in LA, is that right? I grew up in Jersey. You grew up in Jersey. But I've been living here for about 12 and a half years.

Oh yeah. When you are growing up in Jersey, how do you then make that transit? What gets you into comedy? What gets you standing up there? and I mean I was always watching I Was always watching comedy shows. I was watching premium blend. I was watching. Oh, yeah comedy central presents I mean look, I'm 37 so I was I was I was really watching bro a little I mean for Well, at least to my fan base. I mean, I mean for them to find out how old I am

It's you they're always pretty surprised and shocked. You don't look 37 years old, just I'm being, I know that that's a judgment, but I don't think. No, I take it. I feel like I'm going to take it. I feel like I'm in my, you know, I feel like I'm probably, I feel like I'm 30 maybe late twenties, you know? Yeah. Um, but, uh, yeah, they don't.

So where we go? Oh yeah. So wait, what was the question? The question was, how did you get into standup? Oh, Oh yeah. So wait, what was the question? The question was how did you get into standup? Oh, oh yeah. Yeah. So, uh, ultimately like my first week of college, they had these welcome events, the welcome week events. And I just, uh, I, uh, I signed up for the open mic and that was my first, I, I just kind of jumped in, you know, it was five minutes because it was welcome week

and it's a big university was at NYU. I thought the open mic was going to be like 20 people, but like 400 people showed up. No fucking way. Yeah. And luckily, I signed up to go like in the first half, like the first five or six people, because, you know, 400 people signed up to do this open mic and it just took forever. Not not all 400 signed up. But, you know, it's like a couple. It not all 400 signed up but you know it's like

a couple it was a lot of people but I got in I got out it was exciting and then every year I did it and then my sophomore year towards the end of my sophomore year is when I really started I did it like once a month then I did it a week, and then after college it was like every day, and then it was a couple times a day, and then we just sort of kept building that, you know, that tolerance kind of thing, you know. So you've been hustling this for like almost 20 years, you've been doing some version of.

I mean, look, like, I start, I guess it's almost 20 years since the first time I stepped on stage, but I mean like but I say 2007 is when I really buckled down. Because I graduated 2009 from university. We could say right after college is when I really started because I was doing it every day.

Also, that would make me seem more impressive if I was like, oh, I haven't been doing it that long. But yeah, no, that's what it was. But then about six years in is when I transitioned to music because I just hit walls creatively. I didn't really like what I was doing. Objectively, people were laughing, but it's like, I need to be having fun up there as well. So that's kind of where I started to make some decisions and try some other things out, you know?

Did you feel like you were just kind of phoning in at the end? Like, you know, I've got these, I got this 40 minutes of material, I can do it backwards and forwards. It doesn't feel fun to me anymore. A little bit of that, but it also wasn't like murdering on stage. It was doing well. My batting average was pretty good. I was very charismatic.

I wasn't clever like some of the other comics are. But I was getting by, but also it's like I had to be honest with myself. And I say this in all the podcasts I say like I At that time probably wouldn't have bought a ticket to see me Right if that makes sense. That's a pretty self-aware admission Yeah, and and I think a lot of comics if you really if they really ask themselves Like would you sit through an hour of your own show? I? Think most of them would say no I mean if they're really honest with

themselves, like is your show worth the price of admission? And I feel like a lot of people aren't asking, like, you know, would you listen to your song? Would you buy your clothes that you design? Would you go to a museum? Like, you know, it's like as an artist, you have to be really kind of ruthless and self-critical. Yes. Obviously not to a point where it's like you don't put anything out, right? Like you don't want to do that either because... Well, critical can become destructive and it's hard to... and that's a hard balance and I think there's... you have to be super aware of... and that line is very gray,

but you have to be aware of where that line is because then you're right, then you become become insular You don't want to do anything and you feel like everything you do creatively is wrong Your instincts are wrong and so it's so hard to be creative because there is no right or wrong. There is no yes or no Yeah, you know, I guess you feel inside of your gut at this moment six years in you're like, yeah I'm doing it. But is this like Getting the reaction that I really want well also with comedy It's the it's the only art form that has a defined outcome. Yes, so it's like you need to the audience I say something and you laugh right so with music you might you know wonder Oasis is gonna play a wonderwall you might cry you might smile you know

When you look at a painting it's's like there's, you're not supposed to expect it to laugh or expect it to do this. Although there would be, it would be fun if there was like a dedicated genre of, of, of like, like art that you look at that was comedy oriented, that was funny. I feel like, I feel like if people feel like they think it lessens it by making it funny, but I don't know. I think it's, I don't know. I've seen some of those like performance artists out there and they're doing some stuff that I think that I believe could get any reaction whatsoever. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. I mean, some of this conceptual performative art is a little bit tough to swallow in the sense that I don't know how... I think for me, it's like

the artist is taking it so insanely serious that it makes me kind of dislike them. And because art and being creative is such a fun thing that I don't know, obviously there is political messages in art that's great and it's good to educate. But I don't know, sometimes it's like you're slapping me in the face with it and it's good to educate. But I don't know, sometimes it's like, you're slapping me in the face with it and it's like, can we just calm down? There's a gentleman on Instagram,

I don't wanna call him out, I don't even know his name, but I see his reels every once in a while. He takes a snare drum and he sits in the middle, it's a performance art, and he sits in the middle of a group of people and then he beats the snare drum to death, throwing it against the wall, standing on it, stomping on it, putting his head through it,

banging it, this goes on for like 30 or 40 minutes. I'm upset. And the audience seems captivated by this. And I'm like, what exactly is going on here? I mean, I'm sure there's something going on there. Maybe I'm just missing the point. They're all standing there just thinking about like, do I gotta do my laundry tonight or tomorrow?

Yeah. Or did I? How are we going to? I got to bring my kid to work tomorrow, but I also have a meeting at 7. How am I going to do that? They're probably thinking, did I really just spend $27.50 to see this guy just for another spherer?

Yeah. It's a little bit annoying for sure. I agree. I agree. But listen, it's not for me to say what who what art is at the end of the day. If you enjoy watching a guy destroy a snare drum for 40 minutes. Well, there is a, there is a genre of art that's going around on Tik Tok where people just kind of put paint in a bucket and then swing it on a rope. Oh, I've seen this. Yeah. And then it just kind of hits the canvas in some sort of pattern or something, which like truly I could do that.

Truly. Do you see this painting over here behind me? Yeah. I made that. Okay. Nice. Show a little bit more of it. Oh, there you go. Oh, wow.

So I made that. Now that is, I only bring that up because that is a style of from an artist who's who he made me a piece of work in a style like that. And I was like, I could, I think I can give this a shot. You know? And so I did it and it turned out like just as good. I think it turned out really great. So you know I'm just saying I'm not saying it's easy to be an artist.

I'm saying it's like I don't know what I'm really saying about it but I'm just saying like what I am saying is if you are somebody who's nervous about you know jumping into the deep end about being, you know, creative, I think you shouldn't really judge yourself that much and just have some fun with it, you know? Yeah, I know it. We do so many of these episodes here and if we were to be critical about every out, first of all, we can't afford to be critical about every hour. We just got to get the next one out.

But if you're, I mean, you know, there's lots of episodes where I couldn't sit there an hour. Yeah, when I mean, when I was watching podcasts podcasts, I was and when I was doing one for about a year I found that some guests were not that good Yeah, and some guests are great because they have they talk a lot They have the gift of gab some guests you feel like your prime question Answers out of so, you know, I hope I'm somewhere in the middle You know what? I mean because sometimes I ramble too much and so I'm just like, ah, let me shut the fuck up.

I actually think you're pretty easy to talk to because we have had guests on this show where it is terribly difficult to get that to pull. It's like pulling teeth. You ask a question, they give a one word answer and then you're like, really? And then we had the opposite. Do you want me to lead you down the road? And then we had the opposite too where they talk the entire time. We gave one comic a word and he went off for an hour. We didn't get one word. It was crazy. I think it depends, right? Because you have comics at the top of the game who will do interview

after interview after interview, and they're probably used to answering the same questions. Absolutely. And they get tired of it. But in my mind, it's like, well, every time you do a podcast or an interview, they have a different audience. That's like their own audience and they don't know who you are, right? So, you know, you just talk to the new audience and the new audience because it's all a potential new fans

in my opinion. So I just keep, you know, I try to. If we're being honest, like, you know, podcast is, I don't think it's the new late night, because late night is its own thing and it's here or there, whether you think it's dead or alive or whatever, but it's kind of a necessary evil of getting out there, selling tickets, selling albums, and you're right about this, is that it must be torturous to go on a million commercial breaks and have to answer the same questions to two new people but then at the same time you're

right our audience may not know who we're introducing. I'm chilling. Now if we could only get tickets to your fucking show that's it. I know you're so. Because you're in Atlanta right? We're in Atlanta. I'll see how many like tickets they set aside I don't know if they did but but the thing is, because it's sold out so far in advance, that there's always, and especially for a venue that size, there's going to be like 20 to 50 empty seats. Almost, I mean, 99% guaranteed, because it's

happened every show. I don't think I've done one show where every single person showed up. No. Well, listen, first of all, we'd love to come see the show. And I don't expect that you done one show where every single person showed up So no and oh well listen first of all we'd love to come see the show Yeah, and I I don't expect that you're gonna send us tickets, but if you do we will be there on Justin Timberlake playing the same night, so I'll have to check our schedule No

World tour dude the world tour the world tour this is gonna ruin the tour World tour The world tour. This is going to ruin the tour. This is going to ruin the tour. The world tour. The world tour. What tour? I bet you've sold more tickets than he has. No, I'm sure he's selling a lot. Definitely more than JLo though. Oh yeah. Well, she canceled the tour. That's part of the live industry 2024. So many festivals and concerts are getting canceled because people can't sell tickets because the prices are crazy.

Yeah. And that's what I think it is. I don't think it's that they can't sell tickets because the prices are crazy. Yeah. And that's, that's what I think it is. I don't think it's that they can't sell tickets. I think that audiences now are so squeezed for money. Yeah. The price of things have gone up so much and my audience is pretty young. So I feel like I do my best to keep my tickets kind of low on the low end. My, my reps are always like pushing me to sell them for more. I think my most expensive ticket is like 60 or 70, plus a VIP if you want that.

Sure. But even with the VIP meet, the VIP meet and greet for the theaters, I try to offer real value for that. And I don't want it to be like, you just show up and I get a photo with, I get a photo with you. You know I give you a piece of merch we take a photo I do a little crowd work with a group of people there. We hang like we kind of hang out it's very kumbaya you know what I'm saying so I really very much worth the 60 dollars to me seems relatively reasonable to go see a comic

that I really enjoy to have a night of fun. $60 you couldn't go to a restaurant and take someone on a date for less than 60 bucks, right? The other thing I'll say about the ticket prices though is that a lot of audience members, they'll just Google your name and then like the city that you're in and the literally the first thing that comes up are resellers. And so it's unfortunate because they think that I get DMs like, why are your tickets $500? And I'm like, well, did you go to the link on my website or did you just go? And it's almost every time they get scammed and they don't go to my website. But let me ask you this, Morgan, because you've been doing this for a long time.

So let me ask you a question that you might have a better answer to. So we're doing live shows and we also just ran into this a couple nights ago, like five nights ago. A link to, I'm not going to name the ticket broker, to ticket broker who's selling our tickets. Our tickets are like a cup of coffee, kind of cheap. And they're selling them for 10x the price on these ticket brokers. When I can guarantee you tickets are still available.

But I sense that maybe is the venue in cahoots with the ticket brokers Is it the promoter how do those brokers get a hold of those? Yeah, I mean the venues just don't care Yeah, they don't give a shit. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I mean my my reps and I are very like aware of that sort of stuff and my reps and I are very like aware of that sort of stuff. And we try to put a, put a, you know, kibosh on that type of thing. But you just tell people where to go to the right place. I just, I'm like, go, go to my mail. Like for example, with the spring 2025 tour, I, for the, for the last year, I've been trying to funnel all of my followers into a mailing list, you know, and um, I think I have like 25,000 people on the mailing list,

something like that. And so when pre-sale went on sale, I didn't even post the pre-sale codes on my social media. I just did it, it was straight, it was only for people on the mailing list. And like my New York show, for example, at Town Hall, it's 1,400 seats and we sold that out in an hour. And that was only through the mailing list.

Oh, fantastic. You know, so it's very clear that, like, I have a really strong audience base who are fans of mine. Yeah. As far as, like, people who wait too long, it's like, I don't know, I mean, like I said, right now the demand is super high, and I'm gonna kind of keep capitalizing on that, you know?

People want it, so, so you're right. It may not last forever. So do it. It may not last forever. Do it now. At the very least, I'll be able to perform at comedy clubs that house like 200, 300 people for the rest of my career. But- Dude, you're gonna be doing this for another 30,

I guarantee you're gonna be doing this for another 30 years. You have such a rabid audience, they have so much fun. You can tell. I mean, just go to any of Morgan's socials and you can watch any of the reels and you can tell that the audience eats this up. It's interactive. They love it. And it's really good. And I think also it's like young people who, cause my audience is pretty young, who were kind of trapped inside during the pandemic, who have been taught to communicate by their smartphone, lose a huge sense of this huge thing of growing up where you get to interact with

people and have fun with other people and goof off with other people. So my show is offering them like a human experience that I think that they kind of miss out on. Now that's an interesting take. Yeah. Right. That. Cause like, you know, when I was between the ages of 11 and 18, bro, I went outside, I rode my bike, sat outside of 7-Eleven, and we just kind of talked shit with each other. And that might still happen, but I also

think they're just kind of on their phone also. They just kind of send each other memes and things. It's really hard. That might be the draw. Yeah, it's really hard to be a kid these days, a guy who has kids. I did the same thing as you. My parents would literally open the front door

when I got home from school, be home by dark. And I had a 10 speed Schwinn and I would ride to the 7-Eleven just like you and get a Slurpee and eat, you know, Gobstoppers or whatever the hell I was doing. And if they only knew how close to death we came so many times. Do you ever think about that? Like there's things we did.

I do. I remember my brother and I rode our bike to this construction site and he climbed like this scaffolding very high up. Like dangerously high. And I don't know, this shit was crazy. Like if she only knew this type of stuff we got into. Right. It was wild, but it also allowed us to interact

with the world. One on one, in person. There's a certain amount of perspective that you get and a world view and like a maturity that comes with that. And I- 100%. It sucks that my kids will miss out on that. Not because I don't want them to have that,

but because there's no one else in my neighborhood that's doing that with their children. So if I tell my kids will miss out on that not because I don't want them to have that but because there's no one else in my Neighborhood that's that's doing that with their children. So if I tell my kid to go out and also make it dark They're not gonna play with anybody. They're gonna be by themselves. Yeah, and if you told it if you try to tell other parents like Oh, yeah, let's just let the kids out they probably would judge you and be like what which which is crazy to me because the the amount of technology you have to monitor your friends and family and kids nowadays like you know where they are it's not like you don't know where they are as long as they have a phone on them or like an Apple watch or some sort of smart device a tie

literally a you know what I'm saying like tile sewn into their clothing clothing. Yeah. You're going to know where, where they are. I mean, lots of parents that do that. Yeah. Yeah. So which is why it's, which is why I'm like, I, I, well, I don't plan to have kids and maybe, and the thing is also now you were, we're kind of inundated with bad news. So all you hear about are like bad things happening to people on the, on the news. And so, but like you're only here, that's probably like half a percent of the population of the earth that stuff is happening.

So, but for the most part, things are all good, you know? Yeah, I agree with you. Well, we have more ways to receive bad news. Also, I don't think it's that, you know, it's like the crime rates. I don't think the crime rates aren't up, they're down, but we hear about it more because there are a million different platforms sending us bad news

because bad news sells. And people like the drama, they eat it up. True crime is like, it's everybody goes to sleep watching. They love it. They love day nine. Let me ask you a question about your live show. So a big part of, at least I've watched your special, I've been following you for a while now

and you love interacting or it seems like you like interacting with couples or people who appear to be couples inside of the audience. It's a natural fit. What's your name? Are you here with him? Are you married to him? Are there any, have there ever been any like,

I don't know, has there ever been any drama regarding you? Yeah, there was one incident that I can remember was I was working on this new song called What Are We and it's a song about defining your relationship with someone and it was literally the first time I was doing it and there was a couple in the crowd who I mean you know it's basically it's a conversation between two people. Yeah. And I guess they hadn't really done that. And then they left the party immediately after the song left the, and I think I kind of struck a nerve with them. I don't know if they

ended up breaking up or getting together, but I don't know. Well, you're taking, yeah, I imagine you're taking a chance every time you talk to a couple and sometimes they'll say, Morgan will say, are you making love tonight? And that's also a thing, right? Like I want to encourage people to hook up and embrace their relationship. And maybe there's a couple that's been together. I'm there to break the ice. Maybe they haven't had that conversation. So this was the date night that did it. Or it's the camel that broke the straws back. Like, yeah, honey, like we don't have any sex anymore and maybe this, you know, this isn't the thing. I don't know. I don't know. You're a provocateur in a sense that you're, you're maybe it's like,

I just want people to stay horny, stay horny, stay embrace this, embrace the spicier part of their, their, their relationship and get freaky deaky, you know, because I be, I be getting freaky deaky and, um, it's a lot deaky, you know, because I be getting freaky deaky and it's a lot of fun, you know, and especially you go to these Midwest places that are a little bit more reserved, you know, they don't even, nobody even calls somebody daddy or some shit, you know, it's like, that's like entry level, that's entry level type stuff, you know? That's as vanilla as it gets.

Yeah. You're my favorite thing that you do is suspicious as fuck. And I wanna, I was telling Chrissy this before you got home. So months ago, months ago, I heard you do this bit where you sing suspicious as fuck. You say something is suspicious, suspicious as fuck and you sing it. With the other team. It goes suspicious as fuck?

You do it better than I do. But it got stuck in my head because it's a little jam. It's a little ear nugget, right? It's an ear piss. Yeah, ear worm, yeah. And so now I find myself saying this to myself a lot. The other day I'm at Walgreens. I'm checking out, getting a prescription.

There's a lady in front of me and she is dimed out. Coach bag, Mercedes keys, talking on the phone, plastic surgery and in her basket is two steel wool, like steel wool, like the kind you put in a crap pipe steel wool, two butane lighters and a box of condoms. And I almost said out loud, I was singing to myself behind her, suspicious as fuck. Yeah because that is suspicious. That is suspicious as fuck.

Yeah. That is suspicious. What are you doing with the steel wool? What are you doing? But I guess what else are you going to buy? And she's picking up a prescription, which makes it twice as dangerous. Yeah. That's very suspicious.

What is the crowd favorite song that you do? Like, what's the- Well, this is kind of what I've been grappling with to think about for my live shows because the truth is like I'm getting new fans every day yeah new followers every day and so like for example I'm going to Ohio right I was in Ohio less than a year ago in October right now when I did Ohio last year, there was two hundred people, maybe in the crowd this time going to Ohio. I've sold the room out four times, which is three hundred and fifty people, so we're going to have about

fourteen fifteen hundred people all together right yeah now. What if a couple of people from last year's show come to the show? Do I try to do a bunch of new stuff or do I do the lol hahaha which people are going to want to see suspicious as fuck which people are going to want to see? Yep. Friend zone which sometimes people want to see. There might even be some deep cuts. It's like I was listening to an interview with John Mayer and he was kind of talking about how much new New songs he should do and how many of the hits he should do because because I do music I'm kind of in this unique space where it's like you really I could I could replay songs and people want to sing along and

Kind of vibe out to the thing that they because I saw Mark Rebby a for example. He's the loop loop daddy He's the looper right? Yep. And he obviously did new stuff, but people were really excited to see the couple of hits that he had, you know, they got hyped for that. So I'm going to try to do a mix of both and keep adding some new stuff. And I think that's kind of the goal. I think ultimately what John Mayer said in that interview,

he was like, look, your crowd is there to see you, they're fans of you, you just have to trust that they know what they're doing with their time. Right? Very interesting. So, if somebody gets up in the middle of an old song to go to the bathroom, that means they might just want to see the new stuff. And then there's people who don't care about the new stuff and are just like,

where's the, cause I mean, I remember I saw, I go to a lot of concerts now and I'm like, when I go to the concerts, I'm like, oh man, I hope they play this. I hope they play this. I'm that most of the time that's my sentiment. And I think everybody else feels that way too. I saw James Taylor and he waits till the second half of his show to do all of the A-sides. You've got a friend, Fire and Rain. What's another one he did?

Shower the People You Love with Love. Carolina in My Mind, right? North Carolina. Is that what it is? Oh, in a Carolina in my mind. But everybody, that second half of the show, everybody sang every song together. So you know that they want to do it. So I think like it's very clear to me what I got to do a little bit of both, you know? So everybody from Neil Brennan to Margaret

Trow, Heather McMahon, all the comics that we've had on say something have said something very similar. I'd say 90% of the comics that said something very similar about comedy, which is in comedy, when you do that special, that's it. People do not come to hear the greatest hits. You already heard it. You already did. I already saw you do that joke. I don't want to see you do that joke again.

I want new material, but you straddle this strange world where people actually probably do want to hear the hits and In some way that is I think that's really cool Like if I went to Morgan Jays show and I did not see suspicious as fuck I would be rather upset and I'll probably be singing that song in my head for the rest of my Well, you know the other thing that I always forget which is reminding me having this conversation with you is that the majority of my audience only knows me for my auto tune clips and based on

like how many followers I have and actually how many hard views my two specials have like the majority of them do not know my discography. Right, so I could pepper in an old song from a special and they wouldn't even know about it. You know? They think it'd be new material. They'd be like, oh my God, I didn't know this. That's a great song.

You know, and also my audience is so young, they don't really know what a comedy show is. A lot of people, for my younger crowds, they say that I'm their a comedy show is. A lot of people for my younger crowds they say that I'm their first comedy show they've ever been to you know. And so that's their reference point which I'm glad I am the first one because I'd hate for them to go to a live comedy show and have it kind of meet the expectations of what they saw online because when you see a clip of a comedian doing a joke online and it goes really well, it's like 60 seconds to a minute or 60 seconds to a minute and a half.

Right. So but they have this kind of brain rot then going on where they can't focus for that long. You know. Yeah. So how do you expand this 90 second experience they had on their phone to an hour? Because it's so, I see them check, it's so hard to keep them engaged, right? Which is why if you see my live show, I jump around so much and the interaction is so intense with the crowd, you know?

Yeah, that's true. You know, I went and saw Pete Davidson a couple of months back and I didn't know what to expect, right? Had no idea because all I see of Pete is tabloid news and or SNL two minute clips, right? And so I didn't know Pete as a standup and I was kind of, I was open to whatever happened. And he did such a great job of weaving basically one story into an hour and a half of really

engaging comedy that was really funny, self-effacing, self-aware, and I thought he did a very excellent job but it was the first comic that I had ever seen where I had no experience with anything they had ever done before on stage and you're right about that like if it's your first comedy show and you go up and then you're like wait that's 60 It's not what I saw in 60 seconds. Maybe it turns them off to the In general to the you know Theo Vaughn is another one, right? I see clips and reposts of his clips over and over again of some of the same clips of his podcast. Yep, I never See any clips of his comedy specials online.

Never. Never. I've not once seen a Theo Vaughn comedy clip. I only ever see clips of his podcast. So when you go to his show as an audience member, I wonder what their expectations are for him. You know? Yeah. Well, that's interesting.

It's like, and I don't want to go down a rabbit hole here I'm just pointing it out most people know Joe Rogan from his four hour long podcast four or five how many days a week. I didn't I didn't even really watch I didn't watch his special not not out of like I didn't want to watch it I just was like I don't know I don't have it in me to watch I have the brain rot too dude I don't I mean I'm trying to think of the last special I watched from start to finish trying to think of the last special I watched from start to finish. Do you know what the last special I watched from start to finish was? Was it live at the Village?

Live at the Village? No, the last special I watched from start to finish was Adam Sandler's special. Oh yeah, that one is out. I thought it was great. I look up to the dude, I think he's incredible. I mean, to be fair, I know he does have some writers know, some writers that help him work on his shows now, you know, which is fine. I don't think that's, but I think the way he delivers material and his presence on stage and it's interesting because I literally told my reps, like my next special, I want it to

be even like more chaotic, more loosey goosey. I don't care if things go wrong. I want the camera to be even like more chaotic, more loosey goosey. I don't care if things go wrong. I want the camera to be shaky. And then lo and behold, his special was so like, clearly there was like accidents that were planned. I'm not going to go into it, but yeah, I think I know what you're saying. I've seen some. Yeah, go ahead.

But it was like very clear to me like, oh, but, but those types of things that happen psychologically create this kind of, uh, it brings the show down to earth. Yes. You know, and kind of, it gives it, even the accidents make it feel like we're all in this together, like, oh, we saw the accident happen together and things like that. You know what I mean? I think that's what's interesting about some of your stuff too, is that a lot of it feels very organic because it is organic.

You don't know what people are going to say. You don't know if they're gonna sing the right note, the wrong note. And when it comes out, when it hits right, it's fantastic. And when it hits wrong, it's organic. Like that's just the way it was. And I think it's an art form to then keep the show popping along, which I'm sure after thousands

of these interactions, you probably just are really good at that right now and Yeah, I mean look and there are there are some shows where I'm kind of tapped out and I even say it on stage I think guys I think I'm running dry with my crowd work right now Which also gets a laugh which also gets a laugh too, you know, I understand so Morgan you're doing something really cool with comedy I I have enjoyed watching you over the last year or so, and I wish you all the success.

Oh, thank you so much. Well, I don't think I need to wish you all the success. He's selling out everywhere. So let us know if you get those tickets to Atlanta. I will, I will. I'll see you standing around. I'll text the, but JT is performing tonight, huh? Well, listen, I'll come see you,

and I'll tell JT I'll have to see him another time. He can fly me on that. Well, listen, I'll come see you and I'll tell JT, I'll have to see him another time. He can find me on that. But listen, he ruined the world tour, basically. The world tour, dude. Let's hope I don't get pulled over myself. Yeah, don't drive. Yeah, honestly.

I mean, I have to say in some sense, come on, man, you have people that can drive you. I know you do. Right, Broke could just got a driver, dude. No, he's got seven drivers. Yeah, he's got seven drivers, got 12 bodyguards. He's got a manager and a PR person. You know, they're all hanging around him

waiting for him to call. He could have just said, I need to ride two miles down the street. That's so funny. But on the other hand, to be that famous and to have every fucking move just scrutinized to the hill, it's probably not an easy position to be in. And we all fuck up and I'm not apologizing

for drunk driving. I'm just saying, I'm not apologizing for it. I've been there. Been there, done that. So there you go. You know, I forgot what comedian had this joke. It might've been Ron White or I don't know who it was. He was like, the problem with drunk driving is that people don't know how to drive drunk.

If they just practice a little bit, they would get better at it. That is definitely a Ron White joke. I think so, yeah. Ron is so good at that. What happened to Ron? He's still out there, isn't he? Oh, he's in Austin performing all the time at the mothership, I think. Oh, he is?

Oh, nice. Yeah. It's good to see that guy still around. He was really funny back in the Comedy Central days. Ron White would roll clip after clip after clip clip and he was just so fucking punchy with that glass of whiskey and cigar in his hand Morgan J.com if you can find tickets the he's on a very large tour the endless tour I call it Morgan J.com go watch his special which is available on his website or you can go to YouTube and his

Twitch live at the Village. Twitch channel. Twitch, tell us a little bit about Twitch. Yeah, so, you know, everything is sold out, but I am trying, I'm doing more live streaming. I just feel like the future of live streaming is going to be huge. It already is huge. And I feel like my demographic is on that platform. And so we stream every Tuesday.

I mean, not we, I stream every Tuesday, 6 PM.m. Pacific Standard Time. We play video games, we do AMAs, we do music. Sometimes I do little concerts right here in my room with a full band. We just did one on Sunday. And we're going to also be doing IRL streams. That's in real life streams, essentially. So when I go to Ohio this weekend, you'll kind of get a sense of me getting to the venue all the way up to the sound check to the meet and greets, all that sort of stuff. You'll kind of get a behind the scenes look. Yeah. Yeah. You'll get a live stream of like an inside look of me meeting fans and interacting

with people and something like that. So yeah, that's what we're going to be doing. And so also you get like a direct line of communication with me. It's like literally me like right here talking to you. So I love it. I say maybe it makes me too normal. I don't know. But I think that's what people crave these days. Like they want, I think so want all they can get of someone that they really enjoy. They want to really know who you are. And I mean, I think you could do a good job of that on stage anyway, but this is just an extra layer. I think this is a good move doing the- Yeah. I mean, look, it's something I'm excited about

and I'm having fun doing, so that's all I could really ask for and as long as I have the freedom to do that, we're chilling. You are a really fucking nice guy. I just have to say that. I thought I'd share that with you. I think so. I'd like to think so.

I think so. Is that Brad Williams behind you? No, that's me. Oh, that behind you? No, that's me. Oh, that's you? Okay. It's a little fuzzy, but I thought for a second that was Brad. Oh, that is Morgan. Well, MorganJ.com for tickets, tours, go to watch his Twitch. Morgan, thank you for spending some time with us. Yeah, thanks.

What a nice guy Morgan Jay is. I know. There he is, there it is. We see it all. He saw something in himself and he had some self-awareness that yeah, like I'm talking about like his early story, six, seven years doing standup comedy. And he knew enough about himself

And by the way, a lot of people have said, we'll get you tickets to the show. Like what you don't see, and this is obvious to anyone. I mean, I'm not breaking, I'm breaking the fourth wall,

but there really should be no wall here, you should understand, that we actually talked to the guest for just a few minutes before we start recording, and then we talked to them usually afterwards. Yeah, we got to get audio set up. Yeah, we got audio and just say hello and, you know, get out all the giggles before we actually start. And he's one of the few people who I actually am convinced he may try to get his tickets to his sold out shows here in Atlanta, of which he's doing for.

That is amazing. I did a little math in my head. That guy's making bank. He's making bank. A lot more than we are, Chrissy. Best to him. Best to him. I wanted to ask him, can we open for you?

But then I'm sure he's probably said, no, I'd like the crowd to stick around. That's okay. I'm on a roll. I can't miss it out. What are you going to do? It's a... said, no, I'd like the crowd to stick around. Yeah. If that's okay. I'm on a roll. I'm on a roll. I can't mess it up. You know, what are you going to do? It's, you can't win them all, right, Chrissy?

All right, MorganJay.com. That's all you need to know. You can find all this stuff there. All his shits and on the socials, MorganJay. He's verified. And his Twitch. Blue check mark. And his Twitch.

Oh, his new Twitch. What was that? Wednesdays and Sundays? Tuesdays and Sundays? when he's around when he can do it so go join him on twitch and Get to a show and watch his new special live at the village. It's really good It's an hour and 57 minutes you will not lose I promise you and you can find him on Spotify too. I actually now follow him on Spotify. He's got a couple albums out there He's got a couple albums out there. He's got a body of work.

So please go check our new friend Morgan J out. We certainly would appreciate it. I know he would also. All right. Here's the deal. Chrissy and I are just a few short days away from being in Dania Beach at the Dania Improv and Orlando at the Bone, the 24th and the 25th at the Funny Bone. That makes me laugh every time.

It has come to our attention that there are unscrupulous ticket resellers selling our tickets for crazy amounts of money. It is insane. Some of these tickets are going for $250, $300 a piece. No, you do not have to pay $250 for any ticket. Literally a couple cups of coffee is all it costs. Just go to the trusted links.

That's all it should cost. Let's be real about it. I don't think anyone's getting duped into paying $250 for the commercial break. But just in case you thought you might have to pay that, that's not what it costs. Yeah, in case you turned away because you thought that it was gonna be that expensive.

You are not at the right place. So follow the links inside of the show notes. Just expand them on whatever player you're at. Christina's got them all locked up. They're on the website, right on the homepage. You can find them on our Instagram or just go to the Dania Improv website or the Funny Bone Orlando website directly. Find us, buy your tickets there. Don't pay no man's tax on the commercial break tickets.

We are not in cahoots here. This is not us, this is them. Whoever them is, I don't know. Whoever's stupid enough to buy our tickets. Might as well buy Dick Tracy posters. TCBpodcast.com. More information about Chrissy and I, all the audio, all the video, and your free sticker

We take them all. Okay, Chrissy, I guess that's all I can do for today. I think so. But I'll say I love you. I love you. I love you.

Best to you. And best to you. And best to you out there in the podcast universe. And thanks to our friend Morgan Jay. Until next time, we always say, we do say, and we must say. Goodbye. Goodbye.
