Change network. That's a goddy. I'm in my workout pose. I almost came over here in my Under Armour shorts as well. Oh yeah, nice. Yeah, I went to mom's like this and i always do feel weird yeah i i went for a run i was still like kind of sweaty and then i was like well i don't feel like getting the shower before i go to the grocery store so i was like

yeah i'll just be that white guy that wears flip-flops and his under armor shorts and like it's kind of sweaty so yeah i'm working out yeah i've definitely become that guy that when i was like in college yeah you know you see like all the dads who they're in their workout clothes yep they come right after the gym and checking out the produce yeah and i just remember thinking like i'll never be that dude and i'm that dude oh man i am that dude. Yeah. I'm just like so easily ready to be done as well. And it's like, I'm tired. That's what I can't wait to get home and do nothing. Yeah, that's great.

I love that. Yeah. Well, also, it's just like the grocery store is funny because like, I mean, I guess it's just like whatever like people wear but like i just feel like people are so like they wear like such like hiking gear stuff and you're just like bro you're just at the grocery store like why are you wearing hiking boots like i've noticed that like a lot of like poofy vests yeah like at the grocery store i gotta make my way down to the uh fucking granola i gotta take a hike down there yeah yeah it's just like did you just come from hiking which is that would make sense but right what are the chances

everyone just finished yeah that they're all wearing the same pattern yeah but i guess you just buy gear and you like it and you just wear it so well that's the thing i mean like all like north face shit like it's all mostly geared towards being active for the most part you know what i mean yeah i think that's all how it happens like this stuff was specifically for people who mountain climb or whatever right and even like timberland snow yeah and then those were worker blue collar boots and then it become fashion so like abercrombie used to be clothing for like um i don't know like like some outdoorsy fisherman type bullshit that makes sense like

boating stuff yeah because that was their whole vibe too of like sort of like east coast like maine type of thing yeah and i think you just see like people wear it and like rich people and then everyone's like oh we should start right right where it's rich people being like i would like to look rustic yeah i wonder like how the. I think black people really put Tim's on the market, right? Sure. And like Tommy Hilfiger and stuff, too. Yeah. For sure.

Tommy Hilfiger is making a comeback. Yeah. Almost like ironically in a way. Like kind of feel like the same way like Champion did. Yeah, exactly. And Fila. Fila, yeah. Dude, there was a girl in my school.

She's like a third grader she was wearing sparkly fila shoes with fila like like the nice kind of sweats which just said fila in huge fila going up and down her leg i was like damn i mean she looked fly i was like third grade like it's so crazy if he was making clothes for third graders. Mr. Khan, check out my drip. Look at this. It is pretty tight. I got to give it to you. Conversely, though, so my dad, he's a carpenter, and they get free boots at work, like free steel toe boots.

Holy shit. But it's funny because they don't look like worker boots. They're trying to make them look like normal casual shoes i like that but it has a steel toe oh that's great so it's like the opposite because it's like now the blue collar worker's like well i just want to look like everybody else yeah i'm doing my job karen has rain boots they just look like normal shoes uh-huh but they're like rubbery but they look like like casual yeah women's shoes yeah that's cool. Yeah, chicks, they have more opportunity with shoes, for sure. With everything.

It is true. All guys at a wedding look the same, right? Oh, yeah. And then women, there's so many different styles of dresses, colors, everything shoes, jewelry. Where we have the advantage is work, though, because I can wear the same pair of pants five days a week, and I do. I'm not complaining.

I like having just simple dress pants, dress shirt. That's it. Tie. Switch it up with a tie, maybe. Oh, yeah. I don't want to put thought into what I have to wear. I think I rotate in between two ties anyway. So it's like this darker shade of blue would be nice.

Wow, you still wear it. Do you have to? You don't have to, right? That's just what you want to do. No, it's weird. There was never like a stress dress code. Like I just wear jeans now for the longest time. When I first started, I was looking like a fucking nerd.

Like just like a Brooks Brothers mascot. I'm the same way. But like you don't, because when you first start a job, it's almost as if you're playing pretend being an adult. Isn't that everything when you first start a job, it's almost as if you're playing pretend being an adult. Yeah. Isn't that everything when you first start like a relationship to you? Like I'm this guy. I remember caring so much about like all my shirts being iron.

And then even my dad was like, you're going to not do this after. Oh, really? Yeah. That's so funny. He's like, you can't care this much your whole life. And he was so right. Like you just stop. You just like, fuck it.

You just take it out of the dryer as quickly as possible sure dude i used to buy like clothes at like uh uh i remember like going out to buy work clothes i went to like express oh yeah and like and then like even that like you look back like i look so bad it's too much yeah it's all like shiny yeah like bright color right and it's really expensive you're like well two ties there's two ties the deal is 50 bucks for two tie i mean i guess that's a good deal like no yeah no not at all and uh yeah i remember i used to iron and then i was like let me try dry cleaning that shit is so who the fuck is dry cleaning i will do that probably every like couple months yeah but with like six shirts i get that because i don't feel like like these like even this shirt i wear this to work but with a tie but so like i don't feel like washing it and

then ironing it right i guess i could like stretch it and stuff but i mean it's like a fucking dollar per shirt oh really that's not bad, it's not bad at all. But yeah, I remember like I would look so bad. Like I have a picture of me. Like I have a purple like pinstripe dress shirt on from Express. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have. Sounds very Express for me. Over top of that, I'm wearing a V-neck sweater.

Yeah. A Ralph Lauren sweater. Yeah. And it has a purple emblem emblem Ralph Lauren elbow on it and then my socks are purple argyle I look like this is when you were touring with the kings of comedy

yeah looks like I had a canary yellow suit 95 buttons on it I just remember thinking I look so cool and there's a picture of me my friend took i look so bad i'm 22 years old i look right so dumb yeah what i mean when i first started i was literally wearing like vests and i thought they look cool too like a vest with

with the tie and the button down and the khakis and like nice brown dress shoes yeah and then i was like at work why am i i'm like i felt uncomfortable yeah and then i was like at work why am i i'm like i felt uncomfortable yeah and then i was like this is stupid why am i wearing this like i look like a substitute teacher or like a retired paleontologist or something yeah well because people said that like you know like how you dress changes how you act and it's like no i just think we're just more stiff right you know you're just because you don't want your shirt to come out of your pants. That was the worst. I hate that.

You can't reach for stuff. Or when you sit down at bunches. Yeah. Yeah, I don't like that either. Oh, boy, yeah. Being a guy is tough. Ooh, yeah. But now it's just like, it's so funny because also it's just accepted.

Yeah. To not, like, my dad, like, I remember my dad was saying, like, you can't have scruff. It's either a beard or no hair at all between but no one cares which is funny what would guys do like man i really gotta try to grow my beard out over this three-day weekend you can wear sneakers with suits and it's fine it's acceptable now yeah like certain see obviously not any but like yeah and you just gotta pick and choose your spots and just not be like if you have a giant meeting coming up or something like that but i just wear like just normal clothes like i just wear jeans or whatever i feel like every day to work it's great i had my um yeah i do i do too i had my um my team leader job that

i was applying for i was like i'm just gonna wear jeans they see me wear jeans every day yeah the people that were interviewing me weren't new to me one woman was but i was like ah whatever like ultimately the people deciding already know i wear jeans yeah i feel it'd be weird if i came in and faked it for one day yeah they know it feels weird to wear a suit now to anything other than like a wedding a funeral right like it just feels something terrible yeah either tragic event yeah it just like like uh will you helped me uh tie my tie yeah you didn't know you didn't know how to tie a tie for a long time no i still have to look it up really it gets it's tough yeah i mean if you were doing it every day it would be much easier but uh it just felt silly

because i had been working at this place for a year as an intern. So it was essentially I was working a full-time job for them. They know me. They see me at least once a month. My bosses were seeing me in meetings. And I still had to wear a suit. And I even asked. I was like, I asked a bunch of people. Like, yeah, you should wear a suit.

It's like a kiss the ring kind of thing. Or it's like you're showing the effort. Yeah. i i just finally i was like fucking i'm just gonna ask my boss because i was like this is so stupid and then they were like look the advice we give is pretend like you're going to an interview where you don't know us right and i was like ah this but you know me yeah and i already know i have the job this is all for show why are we pretending yeah this is all for show like i have to wear a suit yeah this is just a and they even made a joke like this is the last time we're ever going to see you in a in like nice clothes like yeah i don't even want to be in them now yeah i was like a thousand percent yeah exactly exactly but if that's what

like i remember when we do interviews for grad school, when I was in grad school... I can see dressing up for that. Yeah. I still think it's a little shitty. I think just even like to me like business cash for grad school. I was going to say, I would do that. I wouldn't go over the top with like a full suit. Really?

Yeah. And this is for anyone who's applying to grad school, a little advice. It depends on the program. If it's philosophy, they don't give a shit shit they actually prefer that you wear birkenstocks like a guy wears a suit all the time he's like god damn it i got dressed like a hippie barefoot yeah yeah like i'm wearing like a fucking uh a toga overalls no shirt bring a kid you're fucking um but uh socrates was fucking kids sure that was a thing yeah yeah not a bad philosophy huh no they started it they used to think if you fuck boys you would

get like their youth or something yeah that's true yeah i mean it's a science and an art if you do it pretty young he lived a long time that was all from plastic surgery it was just him from fucking kids you turned white yeah yeah i mean eventually propofol took him out you know which is a real shame real shame i mean that's that shit still goes on like where it's like ah how am i gonna get rid of my aids uh i better find a virgin to fucking get rid of my i knew a guy he went over to africa to um umar's pointing at himself to get a no to um he's a bug chaser to to uh prevent the spread of aids through education and he said the misinformation that were being spread by oh yeah leaders and religious leaders in africa like they encouraged anal sex yeah because they thought right be less likely but that's the

most likely way to get yeah especially because you can tear and yeah well and all that yeah crazy the yeah just how pervasive it is and the weird uh like wives tales of like get a certain type of dirt and put it on your genitals or whatever and like stuff like that ryan uh a buddy of mine he was over there because he oh he was there for a while yeah he went uh i think he went twice maybe three times but yeah he went over there um and he works in blood testing here like in a lab yeah so he went over there to help out specifically in a lab where they do tests for like aids and stuff holy shit and uh he was saying just how intense i

forget which country it was but just like how intense it is but then how uh it's so pervasive it's just like becomes like yeah what a flu right like what are you so like he's in the in the lab and he's like it did feel weird too because i was the white guy going over there and be like here's how you should do things yeah like so he wasn't't trying to step on toes or seem like a jerk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there was a table with blood samples on it to be tested. And one of them was left open. And so he's like, well, all right, well, I got to say something,

because you can't just have open vials of blood. Especially it could be to have potentially. Was he working at Thanos? Yeah, yeah. He was disrupting the process. Yeah. So he went to tell the guy he's like hey uh you're not to be a jerk he can't like just leave these vials open right it could contaminate it so we have to do the testing he's like oh don't worry she that blood man she's dead yeah that's so crazy that person would even know that

about you know you just see like yeah that guy yeah she's dead she's dead yeah wow oh but when i was thinking about grad interviews yeah the first time i bought a suit was for them because everyone's like you have to wear a suit you have suit. The only suit that I have to this day was from Men's Warehouse, and I bought that for the interview for my job. I'm going to go buy a new suit because mine's outdated. I'm going to get one for the wedding in Nashville for buddies. Yeah, I have a couple weddings this year. I'm going to go to Nordstrom. I don't know.

I'm going to go to Indochino. They're cheap-ish. Indochino, yeah. And you go get measured. You can do it online. Evan did it online. This is us doing a – this is our ad for the week. Yeah, this is our ad.

Indochino. Indochino. Wow. So tell me more, Omar. You can just buy online? Yeah, you go in there and you take your measurements. You send it off. They make it for you.

They'll send it to you. You can go to a store to get any adjustments needed. The closest one to us is Bethesda, though. Oh. I think I'm just going to go to the store, get measured there and everything there, and then, like... What do you mean? Oh, like at just any old store or an Indochino store?

No, you go to their store. Oh. Yeah. Gotcha. Gotcha. and then they do the tailoring there for free too i might do that then because i have their suits are nice man yeah yeah no i've heard them advertised on a few podcasts i haven't checked it out but um i want to get this nice dark blue suit i was thinking about doing that too i was either gonna do that's the new look i like well i like brown shoes yep i like the blue and brown. But I was also thinking about doing sort of like a charcoal-y or smoke.

Oh, those are nice. Yeah, gray. And then you do that with brown shoes as well. And like a dark tie. Yeah. So I think I might do that. Yeah. Another thing is like black suits are out.

No one wears black suits anymore. You look like you're going to like a red carpet event or something. Yeah, exactly. Or like a funeral or like just something way too fancy. Yeah, or you're James Bond. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like in a CIA bullshit. Yeah, you look like you're trying to be very cool.

Yeah. But so, oh, for grad school, so I bought a suit. And then when I was in grad school, the current students, we would also participate in like the, I guess, what is it called? Like interviews? Interviews.

Enrollment process for potential students. Yeah. And so they would just kind of like, it's such a, I felt bad for these kids because once you, like you've been on the other side fairly recently. Yeah. And they kind of make it seem like you're just having this casual conversation but you are judging the whole time you're being judged and i kind of fucked up i remember the first time i went out for an interview and i stayed with i like i

had to fly to albany i had to stay with a grad student and i'm just being myself you know like the moment he picks me up at the airport oh so when you were on the other side of it being judged you didn't know well and then you just realize you're like oh the whole weekend is an interview from the moment this guy picks you up in a car to the moment he drops you back off at the airport it's an interview and i'm like a crazy person oh yeah so i'm just like talking like i talk yeah being an asshole i'm like making fun of the other students yeah yeah because i think like this guy's my buddy yeah like literally now that i was on the other side you go back to your professors and tell them everything

like oh i've totally fucked this up yeah he was cool because there was a question that they asked that one. So you had I had six interviews in one day. Damn. With three professors and three grad students, like formal interviews. And like some were really easy and laid back. Each one like an hour? Half hour to an hour? Half hour. Okay.

20 minutes. Some were real tough. That's intense because you got to be on. You have to be on the whole time. Well, Iuring like scared straight but nice yeah and they're like what would you say you want to do here bitch yeah it really just it's too over the top it doesn't to me it doesn't need to be that way because it seems like it's designed to be a little intimidating too yes i think some programs are way more relaxed some are just assholes about it. Right.

So the way it works is they'll have one night of... The first night is supposed to be this social event. So you go out to a bar, restaurant where it's like you have your own section. And people are drinking. I didn't drink. I was was super tired i just flew in and i remember we were like uh i was sitting at a table next to a girl who i ended up working with a couple years later in baltimore when i was doing autism stuff interesting and so she i remember being super sleepy at dinner and at this point in my life like i used to go to bed at like 10 o'clock that's what's up and uh and i just remember like the dinner was going on late and i just started like nodding off at the table people

just think you're think you're wasted everyone thought i was super wasted and i didn't even put that together until like a year and a half later you didn't even have a drink either no i had zero to drink right and i didn't drink yeah i didn't even drink at this point and so i was like nodding off yeah and um uh and i just remember like in the middle of a conversation i was nodding off and people were like are you okay and i'm like yeah i'm just really sleepy and i'm like now like and then so that girl when i ran into her at my job it was she was like it was her first day and she was getting a tour and And she was like, oh, my God, you're the guy. And we're like, oh, obviously, we both didn't get in because we're here.

But she was like, yeah, like, everyone thought you were super drunk. So do you think that's what... She was like, when you left the table, everyone's like, oh, my God, how much does that guy have to drink? Wow. So do you think that sunk you? I'm not sure. I don't know. You're like, it's probably a myriad of

things yeah probably like also the other kids were way more accomplished i think so okay so then uh then like uh the interviews there's like six interviews man and like there's one crazy question that they ask and the guy i stayed with was nice enough and i wish i could remember but he was like he's like i'll tell you the question but you can't tell me when i asked you so i all night i just stood i remember sleeping in the sleeping bag he's like would you rather fuck your dad yeah or your mom i remember sleeping in the sleeping bag and uh like you're a camp yeah in this kid's living room what the fuck and i'm just like what am I doing? I'm in Albany, New York.

Yeah. And just like thinking of like the perfect answer. And I remember I was like, fuck, I got it. What was the question? I cannot. I wish I could remember the question. Yeah. But I just remember the person asked me the question.

I gave the answer. And I thought the person was going to be like, wow. And it was just like i got nothing okay yeah all right yeah it was such a bummer those questions are always so hard to not like keep rambling to yeah it's also just like a stupid trick philosophical question gotcha okay so it's not even like job related really it's more like your outlook on things kind of yeah your perspective yeah yeah anyway so when i was on the other end of it the professors tell them like just ask whatever you know like yeah

this is a time for you to like you can ask about what they don't like about the program what they like blah blah blah and then we all meet as a group with our professors and tell them like what we thought about each student yeah and uh i like i was always really like cool about it because i don't want to ruin anyone's life yeah and you got to give people like a little bit of leeway too it's like they're nervous yeah dude people were so like shitty about it it's just like you get a little bit of power i was gonna say yeah and it's a thing too it's like they feel like they earned it they're on the other side so it's not gonna be that easy for you like fuck you which is so stupid yeah exactly so this one kid he was really nice i remember and uh he wore like i think

he wore like dark jeans a button-down shirt with a sweater over it he looked fine and he had a mustache he looked very like he was like a he's. I actually ran into him and his mom two weeks ago at Clavel, and we talked about that. But they judged him so hard because he wasn't wearing a suit. It was crazy. Why would you not wear a suit? I think that's so unprofessional. Also, what answers did he give?

What did he say? Who cares? Yeah, he was a nice guy. Another girl had hot pink or purple hair. They are green. And they like just did not like her just because of that. Damn. Like one girl just came out and said, like, I just think that's unprofessional.

We're going to be working in schools. I'm like, what year? Are you from 1950? You're working with. Uptight whore. God. Did you say that? No.

She was like a year ahead of me, so she had a little more stature. So you said like Mrs. Uptight Whore. With all due respect, Miss Whore. Yeah. I thought it was so shitty. Yeah. And you're working with kids. Yeah.

Wouldn't they be like, yeah, I'm more inclined to talk to the green haired girl than like somebody that's very formal and uptight? Yeah. But it's just, I don't know. I think our program just kind of groomed. And now that this one professor's gone, they're way more laid back. Okay. Gotcha.

Gotcha. Yeah. When I interviewed for my job, I had to do like a six-person panel. And I just really had to fake it until i made it oh yeah dude those suck because they're like okay so um a proposal that came through from congress is to get a social security hard card like essentially be like an id instead of a paper card they're like what would go into that and i was like wow you gotta you gotta be diligent How would you know that? Because you're like a college kid when you did this, right? Oh, yeah.

Like I just graduated. I was a history major. I would have no idea what that... One of the questions they asked on the phone interview before that interview was, how would you make the trust fund solvent, which is like the biggest issue facing Social Security. Did you have to do any... Did you get the questions ahead of time? No, I had nothing.

Did you... I don't even know what solvent means exactly and i didn't know what the trust fund was and i think they just asked me to see what it what i would say like would i just kind of like bullshit it or would i crumble under the pressure oh my god but also that's like the number one question with social security is how do we solve it means like you have the funds in there okay essentially is to make sure that like you and i when we retire we're gonna have funds which is the biggest thing you just hang up the phone or you just hear a bunch of typing and then you're like you're

five minute delay and you're like well i would i was just talking to my friend alexa how do you keep the trust fund solving just hear her like chime in in the background there's um there's different types of interviewing it's called a stressful interview so i think they were trying to do a mix of that stuff yeah but on the phone interview uh mona who is one of my managers now she's like oh you work to paper moon i love their turkey burgers i was like i'll get you all the turkey burgers you want if you hire me. Yeah. That's cool.

So it was a nice balance. Yeah. I did a stress type interview at Howard County. I fucked it up so bad. And I don't care. I didn't want to work there. But it's one of the best places to work, I guess. Oh, yeah.

Just because they have money. Right. Exactly. So you go there yeah give you a you have to do a writing prompt so they give you a scenario and you have to write a behavior they give you this kid with his behavior problems and you have to write a behavior plan and you have 40 minutes to do it damn then they give you the questions ahead of time right after you finish a writing prompt uh and then it's 10 questions you have to look at

them and you think you they gave you 10 minutes to fill in answers or take notes okay then they take your notes then you go into a room and there's a panel in a semi-circle and you sit in the middle yeah or like at the head of like this right circle they're like mr khan they put a timer in front of you that's fucked up they start the time in your mom yeah they have abducted a month before they have pictures of you naked they have a gun to your mom's yeah yeah they have their finger on the button to tweet out naked photos yeah and then they have they put a timer in front of you they put the questions where you put your notes back in front of you. And they start the timer.

And each person just reads the question on the paper in front of you. And you have to answer it. And you have an hour for the interview. And you can take as much time on any question as you want. Jesus. It was horrible. It was awful. I bombed it so hard. That's an hour where you are present for

every second of it if i had the balls i think i would do this now because i um and if i already had like a offer on the table i would just be like you know what guys this place is not for me and just leave how tight would that be like i was a bit much yeah i'm like you know what guys i can already tell like we're not gonna get like yeah you know like just to do that on a date also it's like you're like you guys are way too uptight i'll never fit in in this work environment and you guys would not want me here either you don't want a guy who's gonna like just you know not be on this tip yeah exactly but what if they're like wow so bold he passed yeah you're hired but how cool would that be there'd be such a fuck you

like you know what this is unnecessarily yeah like there's i'm not putting myself through this yeah this is how it's gonna be like working here fuck you guys yeah that's why i never understood frats and stuff like that too where it's like yeah let's treat you like shit and now you're my brother you know like that type of thing it's like let's kind of like demean you let's really push you it's like dude this isn't the fucking marines like i'm gonna be a psychologist guy puts his balls in your mouth yeah just so you can fucking drink a beer with him that's insane yeah yeah it's like now we're friends. Yeah. Dude, remember when you ate my cum? That was awesome. You're my best friend.

You want to watch golf? It's just so weird also to think like those people then go on to have families. Oh, yeah. You know, like just like it's like, oh, my God. But yeah, like I guess you're doing that shit too so you can have connections later. It's like my frat brother. He might be able to get you a job at like Wells Fargo. Yeah, I guess it's important networking, but at what cost be able to get you a job at like yeah i guess it's important

networking but but at what cost i don't know people have died well that's like yeah well and then like the skull and bones thing the rumor is that like what's that uh skull and bones it's like one of the secret societies at yale so it's like not a frat but it's like like analogous to like i guess like illuminati type stuff where it's like secret groups yeah like supposedly george bush is a member and stuff or it's like secret but not so secret yeah there's there's rumors like rich white guys have secret groups at college yeah it's just like yeah you found an empty dorm room right what how would like someone brought a pizza yeah what are you guys discussing we snuck in a couple sixers yeah uh but yeah

there's like rumors that it's like you have to have dirt on everybody or essentially like they like see you jerk off shit like that so wait they watch you yeah yeah yeah exactly in a way so it's like to be like we have something on you so now you're like kind of bonded in a way okay i'd have i'd have to look more into it and I'd look up some videos too, you know, for my own research, um, obviously,

but yeah, it's like weird shit like that too. That's so creepy. Yeah. To have a secret society. Uh, like the thing they do in California too. What is that?

Uh, Alex Jones showed up to it, but like all these like huge business, like elite show up and they burn a fake owl and stuff yeah so rosebud baker who's a new york comic her dad belongs to that country club where they do that really great like yeah that's how rich her family is yeah yeah like there's some comics that have a lot of money like i think we talked about in the eric to do a podcast or maybe maybe afterwards yeah i think it was during.

Okay. But, yeah. That's so much money there. Oh, my God. John Mulaney comes from Mad Money. Oh, yeah. All of it. It doesn't matter what we talked about.

Yeah, exactly. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Do you do shows? Yeah. I was in the lounge on Friday at the DC Improv for two shows. Oh, was it? It was a lot of fun.

Yeah, the crowds were good? Crowds were good. The second crowd, they were like a little dead, but they were good. Friday shows suck. Yeah. Almost across the board. So this was Friday. The first one at 8 was decent.

Okay. Because there's like enough time in between work and the show. And then 10 o'clock was like a little less people. And then I think 10 o'clock, it's little like a little less people and then i think 10 o'clock it's like you worked all day now you've been drinking for like five hours oh yeah they spaced it out different it used to be like 7 30 9 30 so they might do that on saturday i think but i think because it's friday so it's like more time to get there yeah um but no it was good so it was me rob marr paris sachet ab, Abby Feldman, and Mike Brown hosted.

Cool. Yeah, it was nice. Rel Battle came in and did a guest spot. And then Eric Griffin was in the main room. So he popped over for a second. Oh, cool. And you guys just worked together. Yeah, yeah.

So I said hi to him and stuff. It was cool. When we were doing the show, or we were at mcgoobies um tyler dark was hosting and he was like it was tyler's first weekend hosting so i think he didn't really like i think he was excited but then also didn't really know what to say when bringing comics up you know uh so like one time he's bringing eric griffin up and he's like uh he's a legend in comedy and i was like dude you can't say you know but once he's like uh he's like uh you know from workaholics uh he is one of the co-creators of the podcast riffing with griffin and eric griffin's podcast

is just him co-creator co-creator riffing with griffin so like eric make fun of him uh nah well like because i was just standing next to him he didn't say anything on stage but he but i just looked at i was like wow co-creator good for you man how'd you get on that so i saw him at the dc improv because he popped into the lounge just to check it out i was like dude are you one of the co-creators i'm briefly he's like what's up man it's like hi good to see you oh that's nice yeah it was cool he was like yeah this reminds me he's like uh at the comedy stories he's like this is like the belly belly yeah they have like four rooms in the comedy store yeah or the belly room i think in just the main

room right main room so three still that's crazy yeah and they're all going at the same time but i was thinking about like dc it's so weird because i was in dc over the weekend and everyone a lot of people are like how's baltimore scene how's baltimore scene i'm like well i'm here yeah yeah i was like think about this guys yeah they're we're in a venue right now where there is a show down here and upstairs two shows each night yep uh both packed the dc draft houses here they do two shows drov, they do four shows. Two simultaneously, again, happening at the same time. And then Big Hunt does two shows.

And then there's Town Tavern. Also, sometimes DC Improv will do five because they can do three in the main room on a Saturday. I would never do a late Saturday show. I've had to do it a couple times. I mean, if I was a headliner i would be like fuck no yeah but when they're like would you like ten thousand extra dollars you'd be like fuck yeah yeah that's true and uh i guess usually people do that who are really selling right and if you have like a door deal and right and then uh i was just like look how crazy and these shows are all well attended. Like, dude, the loft is becoming awesome.

The loft is crazy because it is like, I can't think of a better word, but like a factory in a sense where it's like all the parts are always moving. Where it's like, okay, we have the bar downstairs and this show is going on, this show up there. And like, I think, yeah, a lot of people know about it too. I think every show upstairs was sold out this weekend damn and who were you with i wasn't upstairs but i was downstairs with this guy kyle aries kyle airs right airs yeah sorry yeah i didn't have to remember his last name i wasn't i was featuring so i have to bring him up that's the best he's great i worked with him at big hunt uh two years ago and he was good and then dude he's just he got a lot better he's great yeah um

it was so fun yeah like uh friday we only did one show um because he does this thing called boast battle where it's the opposite of a roast battle where you're just nice to each other yeah i was gonna possibly do that but then i had the improv shows yeah uh i think i would have said no to it because i'm like how long can that last like the improv shows yeah uh i think i would have said no to it because i'm like how long can that last like the bit you know what i mean yeah exactly like i don't know like and you have to really know some people i don't know i think you're also you are making fun of them but just in a kinder way maybe i've never seen it right okay so it's like a little more tongue-in-cheek exactly Exactly, yeah. Okay, okay.

So, yeah, the Friday show was great. It was like, there was like maybe 50 people. Mm-hmm. And it just was funny because like a lot, so many people were there for the show upstairs. And a couple, so what happened was there was like a group of these russians who were there for the show upstairs but they accidentally came to our show that happened when i performed

down there oh really yeah and they realized it but yeah they stayed oh because i was they were enjoying me apparently oh nice and then when i showed up to the saturday show kyle was like dude this girl is here because she came last night uh-huh but uh she missed your set and her friends told her you were so funny she has to come back oh my god how crazy is that and it put a lot of pressure on right i was like i don't think it's gonna be great but right and she suck because she came to the early show and she's like, oh, I got to leave. I got to meet my friend. And I'm like, okay, that's fine. Yeah.

So then she came back to the late show. The late show was, the early show was insane. Right. Like, oh, everyone's crushing. Like, I was riffing. Saturday early show? Saturday early show. Always the best.

Always. Just fucking riffing. Oh, my God. I was doing... Oh, it was awesome. I worked on a new chunk of 10 minutes of material. Dope. And it went over okay.

Yeah. It was just nice to not do any stuff. I'm trying not to do anything that's more than a year old. Nice. And so that was nice. And then... So that was cool because that was like 25 minutes set. Fucking it.

And well, except for my clothes or that shit. That's right. Really old. Yeah. And then they all the late show starts and it is looking rough. And we're like, fuck. So we're like, I will delay the start time. Girl comes back.

This Russian girl. She brings a guy with her and I'm like, God damn it. Now we're like, all right, we'll delay the start time. Girl comes back, this Russian girl. She brings a guy with her, and I'm like, god damn it. Now they're going to think I suck because this crowd is lame. And everyone's sitting in the back, you know. And then so they're like, we'll wait. Because they said they sold a bunch of tickets, but no one's here. Right. And then so like a group, like three more people came in, and then a huge group of dudes

came in and they are drunk and loud it's a bachelor party sure and it is fucking you can just go bro come on yeah and even the venue when they came in was like fuck so they put a bouncer in our show just to make sure they're not gonna fuck it up right and um that's a tiny room too i mean it holds like 50 people right yeah it holds like maybe yeah 50 60 something around there right so they're like already drunk they're being loud uh they're already like being aggressive like uh the russian girl and the guy we were with like the guys took their her their seats because they were talking to us and so the guy and this guy's big and he went to them he's like hey guys we were sitting here he's like no no we're saving these he's like dude no just don't sit here don't sit

that help that's literally how one of the dudes from that group was talking don't sit here no no you can't sit i love that bro mentality like no no we got it yeah hey man fuck you dude there are no assigned seats go fuck you yeah also no we were man. It's like, fuck you, dude. There are no assigned seats. Go fuck yourself. Yeah. Also, no, we were here first is what I'm telling you. And then the guy came back and told me, he's like, yeah, they said that they're going to heckle you guys.

Oh, cool. If you guys suck. And we're like, yeah, I know. This is all part of it. It's bullshit. Right. And so they ended up being, for the most part, fine. So like TJ's hosting and he crushed this guy, dude.

Really? They started out, and TJ would say something, and they'd be like, what's that? What's that mean? Just being super obnoxious. Like, huh? Ha! This one guy would just do this on purpose. He would go, ha!

Ha! To like every line. Every line. Yeah. And then TJ was doing a great job because we all made a game plan we're like just ignore it i told kyle i was like i won't talk to them but if they're being real shitty i'll be mean to them and then get them kicked out and he's like yeah totally do whatever yeah yeah he's like fall on that grenade please and then and and then uh

so tj was like yeah i I'm from Charlottesville. And the one guy from the party is like, woo, I was just in Charlottesville. And TJ, without missing a beat, he's like, I feel like you were there about a year ago. Nice. And the place went nuts. That's awesome. It's so obvious we're laughing at them. Everyone hates you.

Yes. And it killed their spirit i think oh awesome like we're too scared to talk because we know we'll be out bested right right right right well it's like now it's known that we suck yeah so then yeah the rest of the show was great that's awesome it was awesome yeah deal man yeah i did uh i did a house party show that crybaby show that's a fun show man the dudes are cool. Starts very late. Yeah, definitely.

I think it's supposed to start at 10. Probably started like closer to like 10.30ish, 10.45, somewhere in there. Too late. Well, the guy, Mike, that put it all together, he was hustling like really hard.

What the thing is, is they're New York guys. They find houses to put shows on in, right? Yeah, I think so. I didn't really know. I mean... I've done one of them before, too, maybe.

Because the guy, Mike, he hit me up on Instagram. And then when I showed up to the house, I didn't know anybody there. Yeah. I was like, hey, I'm on the show. He's like, oh, all right. Yeah, you're Josh. I'm Mike. I'm the guy that's been messaging you.

I was like, okay, cool. But yeah, so they had like booze there. I think they brought in some food. But it ended up being like, I guess the mike is from around here yeah and he had tons of friends come through one of the comics jokes is like man mike's white and he throws a better cookout than i do because it was cool it was a very like diverse audience but it was like it was it had more of a party vibe yeah anything and shellylly was there. Shelly was DJing. Wow. Shelly Kim?

Shelly Kim, yeah. Wow. I didn't know she DJed. Me either. She was like, I'm trying to kind of keep it secret. Wow. So if you listen to the podcast about 40 some minutes in, you get a little kernel of secrecy there.

I don't think she's really trying to keep it secret. Yeah. But so yeah, so she was djing and like everybody is smoking so much pot oh my god it's so much pot and uh the mics were a little weird and like the room was like kind of intense where it was like it was a party but it was also like let's go this better be good and alahe uh showed up and we were both just like man i feel so old being here like yeah i show up and like the party's like loud and it's good but i'm just like dude i'm tired like it's saturday at 10 30 also when i parked the uh a woman was on the phone across the street on her

porch openly like weeping on the phone as i isn't is not a good omen for a show she's like i told you to fuck it oh my god but uh they also had a neighbor uh this woman comes over she's like what are you guys doing you guys having a party it's like no well kind of we're doing a show and she's like i'm just messing with you guys have fun but just know if you get crazy i got a belt big enough to beat all your asses that's cool i was like okay maybe it'll be fun i don't know and she's like all right y'all have a blessed time um so alahe shows up and she's like man all right this is uh this is kind of intense and uh she's like what uh when am i up she's i think she was up like fourth or something and mike's like yeah i have you up for I think she was up like fourth or something. And Mike's like, yeah, I have you up fourth.

So you're going to go after intermission. And I was supposed to go third. And then Alahi's like, can I not go after intermission? I hate to be a diva or whatever. It's like, yeah, we can move stuff around. All right. That means, Josh, you're first. And I was like, God damn it. Dude, I will take a first spot any day now.

But it ended up being a lot of fun so those dudes up top they kind of just like riffed around yeah but it didn't seem like they had like anything kind of planned so really i was the one like breaking the jokes yeah and i go up and there's a dude in front of me smoking the biggest fucking like spliff like wasn't even a joint yeah i it was tough to tell because it was like you've ever seen that clear um rolling paper yeah it was like that and this dude like his eyes were so red and he was just so high it would look like i was in front of a fucking fog machine like right at like for me to you and so like i do my first joke and it goes okay and then i was like sir do you need to smoke all that weed and like

everybody's like ah because you could see it so i just like riffed on that guy was like sir do you need to smoke all that weed and like everybody's like ah because you could see it so i just like riffed on that guy it's like do you even know what's happening right now because his eyes and so uh so it ended up being a lot of fun and like i riffed around with everybody and like had a had a fun set which was really cool because it was like like young kind of like diverse audience and um but a chick came up to me afterwards and she was like she was like yeah that was great it was really good and you know like i didn't know what it was gonna be it's like you see a white guy doing comedy and you're like uh-oh here comes the misogyny and homophobia that's just like a person who doesn't go to shows well and then she was like

and then because you're like i don't know it could be that or it could be like a Zach Galifianakis and something fun. And I'm like, okay. Yeah. It's just weird to be like. That's your spectrum. Yeah. But to also say like, oh, man, I'm stereotyping this guy because I hope he doesn't stereotype. Yeah.

And I'm like, okay, cool. Yeah. Dude, I had. Oh, so Friday, because there's only a late show. Benji hit me up and we did another one of those weird corporate gigs. Yeah. So I did that before I went to the late show. Yeah.

And it worked out. It was two blocks away, which is tight. So it was for a college, Villanova, which is a Catholic university in Virginia, I guess. Is it? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think so. Is it? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think so.

I'm not sure. Somewhere. Or Pennsylvania. Something like around here. It's East Coast. I know that. I just know they have a pretty big basketball team. So they're connected.

Yeah. Everyone kept mentioning that, and I don't follow basketball. Yeah. So I get to the show, and it's in this- Fucking queer. Anyway, go ahead. It's a tiny art space, and I think there was was like 50 60 people there it's cool it was a great it's a good setup yeah um but i so i get there and there's this lady there who's just like

obviously a crazy person yeah um you're like well no no like once you start talking to her otherwise she just seems normal but so like i like, I'm talking to Benji, and she just, like, inserts herself in the conversation. She's like, so what is it? What's going on? And I was like, what? What's happening here? And I'm like, she was like, I'm just like, for a second, she just seemed like someone who worked for the gallery and didn't know what was happening. So I was like, oh, it's a comedy.

yeah and then i've been having like uh just like good like as far as like good luck with like people and stuff so i uh accidentally rear-ended somebody on Thursday. Oh, shit. Where? Coming from where? On my way down to do open mics for free. So I was going through, I was on like Tacoma Park or whatever it is. Like basically like when you go the back way into DC, like kind of through Silver Spring. I wasn't even like fucking around or like texting.

There was a giant like mariachi band on the other side of the street i mean like like slipknot levels of members like and the dude had a pa that was so loud i mean it was like 10 guys all just playing on the sidewalk what happens you let them in this country exactly that's what i'm saying you gotta build the wall yeah yeah all they want to do is play their little songs in the highway. But yeah, so I look over. I'm like, what the fuck? And then before I know it, there's a car just like right in front of me. And I just jam on my brakes.

And I tap the guy like it wasn't like a love tap, but it wasn't quite like crashing into him really hard. It was like kind of in between. And I see his bumper and it looks okay. Like there's no like dents or anything. There's like kind of like some scuff marks. But we pulled over. I was like, fuck it fuck fuck fuck um and i was like hey are you okay and the guy gets out and it's like a young dude with like a rasta hat on and i was like yes yeah uh and he was like he's like yeah i'm fine i don't know it's i don't know this looks okay um he's like well we can do insurance he's like yeah sure uh actually just uh can you just sit in the uh in the car and just press the brakes just to make sure they work i was like sure and then he's like everything works i think we're good here man

i was like holy shit okay wow that's great and like i was like dude we can do insurance we can do whatever he's like you know what man we're good it's like holy shit that's tight and the only thing with my front bumper is like there's a little bit of a divot but it's not too bad at all yeah like i got pretty fucking lucky it was nice yeah it was weird yeah oh that's great so like i showed up to the open mic and i was like still had like that nervous yeah energy because your adrenaline's going yeah fuck so like what's going on? It's like, you know, same old, same old. I hit somebody on the way. I did something similar this week.

Also, it was really buddy to just rear ended somebody on the way here. Tell you on Tuesday. I was running late to work already and there's this one row that's super narrow uh by like the light rail station in hamden yeah where like we're kind of near where we used to live uh-huh and uh but it's also on a bus route so it should be a one-way um road but it's not because there's cars parked on one side damn and it's just so narrow so like me and this car coming, we had to move over twice already because two big cars coming. Then I'm about to reach like the end of it, but it's a red light.

A fucking bus is coming. Dang. And I'm like, God damn it. So I move over really quickly to try to like get, uh, um, over.

Yeah. And the side of my car, I clipped one of the parked cars oh no with what you're with my car with like the side of my car and i was just like fuck so i get out my car looks fine i hit this truck it's an old truck and i was just like do i just keep going and i just felt bad and i don't want to do that so i just left a note with my number on it and i get a call an hour later and this guy he's like hey this is umar i was like yeah he's like hey i got your note i appreciate your honesty but honestly man it's i i didn't notice any damage

it's such an old truck like it's all good we just had the same guys yeah this keeps happening to me but it's cool yeah he was so nice and you just kept saying the same thing over i really appreciate your honesty i was like holy shit wow he's just like he's like yeah no we're fine man and i was like yeah all right i really expected this dude to be like just venmo me yeah and he didn't even bring it up it's like are you sure we're good yeah get insurance involved and he's like no it's all right man yeah but i was having like a freak out because then i was looking at my car and i was like man i do have a lot of dents and I'm like, should I just get a new car? And I'm like, I don't want a car payment. That's pretty expensive.

But I think I'm going to, because I'm going to take it to the body shop and I'm willing to put like $2,500 into fixing up the outside because it looks bad for a car that's only five years old. Right, right. You know, like it's, I need to get the rust. There's some right right you know like yeah like it's right there's i need to get the rust there's some rust forming it's just like there's scratches the front bumper needs to be replaced and i'm just like it just looks bad yeah i have to get this like thing welded i have to get my like the there's structural damage to my car damn because like this pole went

through the bottom of my car on 495 holy shit there's like this hole holy shit it just sucks it's just like this car i bought brand new and all this shit has happened to yeah now it looks shitty i know yeah i i don't care i'm not someone who cares about cars i take i take it personally yeah i feel like i'm less than exactly i just want something that looks decent i want it to look like clean and like normal yeah that's what i want that's it i don't want to drive something that is super fancy or spectacular it's just not shitty yeah so yeah that's exactly how i felt too so uh i think my dad and i can fix it now when i say my dad and i mean you're mostly me no but so it's like basically like a little part kind of like caved in on the bumper and it's just plastic essentially.

So we push that back in and like kind of even it up and there's like a little like it looks like my car has like a scar on it essentially. Okay. But you can get this stuff like little touch up stuff. So this stuff called Bondo. Yeah. Which essentially just like fills in the crack and then you let that sit in there. Then you sand it. So it's all smooth and uniform

and you have to paint it yeah but they make little like basically like duplicates that are like the same like so you look up whatever your code is and they're like okay so this is like honda gray or whatever it is so mine's like a toyota black so there's like just enough in this little thing where you just kind of paint it on there and clear coat and stuff so i might give that to you if you need it like or yeah you should check it out because i have shit i was like a lot of stuff that needs to get done gotcha so i think the rust is the mate the rust in the front bumper and then like my door is a little fucked up uh yeah so yeah yeah i was looking at my hub car i was looking at my hub caps too it's like damn i should get new hub oh my hub caps are too. I was like, damn, I should get new hub caps.

Oh, my hub caps are garbage. Yeah. Because I just fucking suck at parallel parking sometimes. Yeah. Oh, dude. That's what all my shit is. Yeah. It's just curbs.

They're just like. I know. I'm. Yeah. What are you going to do? Fuck it. Yeah. It's funny, too.

Because I'm like, you know, I'm a pretty good driver. Yeah. And I just tagged that dude. I'm like, god damn it. God damn it. All right. Should we wrap it up? Let's fucking wrap I'm like, God damn it. God damn it. All right. Should we wrap it up? Let's fucking wrap it up.
