windows open what's happening hey what's happening uh recently listened to uh kanye west on joe rogan
real bad that was a lot of people listen so i think we should mimic that. Umar, when did you decide to run for president?
Well, when God told me to.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah, that was interesting because it was like a podcast everyone was so looking forward to.
Yeah.
And then I thought it was a huge disappointment.
And I thought Joe Rogan was kind of gross because.
Oh, really? disappointment and i thought joe rogan was kind of gross because oh really i felt like you're
kind of gassing up this guy who has clearly has something like something i don't know what it is
but he's got something where it causes him to have a distorted sense of reality so i think everybody
forgets and it's weird that people forget because he had such a big song about it but he was in a major car accident yes and like i'm thinking his concussion like this is the effects of that and
plus he also said he's bipolar he's bipolar as well acting like he's not right and he's well
they forced me on and then like joe rogan's like why are these people forcing you to take medicine
it's like oh he said that i only made it like a
half hour i say i made it like maybe 45 minutes and i was like this is too much yeah when he was
like he was like why are you running for president he's like um that's something that god put on my
heart i was like all right yeah here we go anytime someone says that like you're insane he was like i
was in the shower and god told me that i should run for president and because we need a leader
and not just like a we need a leader.
And not just like a leader, but a leader.
Yeah.
I'm like, what?
Cult people say the same thing.
Yeah.
I looked at his Instagram afterwards, and it's wild.
There's like videos of like these compilation videos of kids where it's like Kanye speaks for the kids,
and I'm voting for him because he's the only Christian that's running
and blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, okay but he can he's only on the ballot on like a certain state not all states yeah
he's like a write-in guy i didn't see it i didn't see him on um i didn't yeah the uh um the fucking
thing that you that's why i think he's not on all the states ballots because you have to get
approved i think yeah definitely you have to get approved, I think.
Yeah, definitely.
You have to file with election committees and all that stuff. Yeah, and do it in a certain amount of time and all that jazz.
Yeah, the draft ballot that you get, he wasn't eligible as a right.
It's weird because they have people on the side.
It's like, you can write these people in.
Yeah, so I saw that yesterday when I opened that thing.
They send you the ballot ahead
of time which thank god yeah it'll be the first time ever i'm gonna actually like google stuff
yeah dude every single time i vote for one of the um judges or whatever well not well most of the
judges it's like pick five and five are running i'm like all right yeah but like the the statutes
or like amendments to like the charters,
I'm like I either voted to give schools money or I just got rid of a school.
I don't know what I did.
Yeah, same.
I'm like whenever it says like do you want to give schools money?
I'm like sure.
But I'm like what am I actually doing?
Because it sounds like they're just like do you want to open up a casino right in the middle of the harbor?
It's going to go towards schools.
I know.
It's ridiculous.
I guess. it's crazy i i remember one time like i used to vote in the county this would be my first time voting in the city really yeah i never changed my address yeah yeah and until now
and actually when i guess i bought my house, I guess because all the paperwork I filed,
they did it for me.
I didn't have to do anything, which was cool.
Oh, that's great.
After I stood in line for three hours in the county for the primaries.
I was like, oh, that's a bummer.
You need to vote where you live.
Yeah, and I stood in line just to vote for Sanders.
Right.
And I'm like, what the hell am I
doing? Worth it. I know.
Yeah. Yeah, I haven't voted yet. I think we're going
to go Friday. Karen's off. I think I'm going to do
yeah, I'm off on Friday too. Oh, you didn't
mail in? No. Apparently they're
saying now don't mail. I went
yeah. Well, like drop it off
in the ballot box collector thing.
Yeah, there's a bunch of those to ballot box things.
There's one in the neighborhood too by the school school yeah dude you know more people have voted half the
i think like over half the country has voted or something so uh it's more than half of people
that voted in 2016 have already voted yeah so it's just that like there was like 149 million
p or something like that or like 141 million voted in 2016.
And currently there's like 61 million votes already in.
And a lot of it's from Texas.
They think Texas might go blue.
Pretty well.
If not this election, then definitely the next election.
They think it's like 100% chance it's blue.
Yeah.
Same with Georgia.
But yeah, it still makes me nervous.
I'm still like, all right.
Well, because a lot of people are also Trump also trump people shoot yeah true so yeah and then
with the the mail-in stuff is really weird too where they're like hey your signature didn't
match our signature on record so we're not going to count it and stuff like that yeah and they
slowed down the mail uh the usps or whatever but um yeah we'll see man because yeah a lot of people
are like ah biden's got him
like that's exactly what you said about hillary i know like i remember yeah four years ago being
like yeah let's go watch the world and ha ha ha and then like trump trump they're like trump wins
florida and i was like that was uh so weird because i was at a bar with a bunch of people
and we thought you know it's like it's gonna be you know, it's like, it's going to be fun.
Yeah.
And you're like, oh, it's going to be so fun when like the first female president is announced.
Yeah.
Holy shit, dude.
I mean, it was dark.
Like the whole bar.
I mean, like the depression, like, like dude, people were crying, like publicly weeping.
Jesus.
And it was horrific.
Yeah.
I was like, man, whooo i knew there was a chance but
holy shit that was nuts yeah so i don't know what the fuck's gonna happen this time but yeah yeah
i'm gonna go vote in person i'm gonna go down here and vote camden yards i i kind of want to
like i'm trying to think of like a place where we can go to watch just like not the whole night
because obviously we're not gonna even find out that day yeah um it'd be nice to know like key states yeah but i wonder like is there
some place that has tvs outdoors i'm sure there's so many bars that are like working just go hang
out follow it have some drinks with buddies yeah yeah it might just have to be like uh
get a projector or something like that i'm sure there's bars that are doing
that yeah um we went to uh when we went and got crabs like last month uh at a place downtown ish
um yeah they had outdoor they created this like this huge outdoor tent area because it's like a
i guess it was a big place people would go to watch the games. So they had TVs in there.
Dude, you had to pay $100 just to get in that tent.
And then you had to spend at least $100.
What the fuck?
Isn't that... Dude, it was packed.
Holy shit.
I'm like, is it that?
You can't just sit at home and order some food and watch the game?
Nah, you got to be in there.
Same with the...
So bars do that now with like pay-per-view events.
So it used to be like if you're getting like...
I'm surprised that's not illegal.
So they changed it.
So if you are a bar, like the fee that you pay is different than like what somebody at home would pay for a pay-per-view event.
Because they're like, oh yeah, you're going to have tons of people there of people there it's like the fees this high so then the bar is like okay
we have conor mcgregor uh fucking floyd mayweather tonight fifty dollars to get in it's like what
yeah no i wonder how much they get charged they get charged more like a lot more like twelve
hundred dollars maybe something like that i mean they're definitely recouping
their money and then some charging like that but uh yeah i love the people that get around it
because i just watched it on twitter so everybody was like live streaming it but they do like a good
job of getting rid of it or like shutting down somebody's feed if you're like illegally streaming
it but this one dude got around it because he was playing video games and he just had it on like in the background so it just made it look like he's just playing like
he wasn't even playing he just had a controller with the tv and so i just watched it via that
pay-per-view like growing up like because i didn't have a cable box so we couldn't like
and the only thing we cared about was wrestlemania oh wrestlemania and then wcw too i was like bash at the beach we gotta fucking yeah dude there
was a year where like uh oh this is so embarrassing like we really there's like a group of us that
really wanted to watch it yeah and like we couldn't figure out where to watch it and we like
like my buddy had a cable box but his parents like it's too late
and like we had the money like we would give and then like i had my mom call my friend's mom
who has a k i knew she had a cable i was like hey dude i'll pay and blah blah and the mom's like i
guess and so like three or four of us went to this dude's house and just watch wrestlemania
until midnight and we were like in fifth grade damn how much was it like 60 bucks yeah it was like i think it's like 40 bucks
okay which back then you're just like it's i mean still a lot of money for one thing yeah but as a
kid too you're like 40 dollars holy fuck and then there also was this other guy he was like a an
adult yeah he had like one of those like uh those hacked cable boxes where you get all the channels for free.
Right.
And so we found out like he liked wrestling.
And so we would just go to his house and watch like pay-per-views.
Yeah, hanging out with all these sketchy adults.
Yeah.
And he...
Oh, it's funny too because he's like this guy.
He ended up like friending me on Facebook and he turns out to be like this huge like.
Yeah.
I wouldn't say racist, obviously, because he would like, you know, you're gonna be like
rapist.
But yeah, definitely like a Trump, big Trump guy.
Sure.
Post real racist shit, but would claim he's not racist.
And I had to like we would get in back and forth.
I would just fuck with him.
Yeah.
And I eventually just had to unfriend him. I was and forth i would just fuck with him yeah and i
eventually just have to unfriend him i was like this guy's like a more but it's so funny because
you're like when you're young like oh he's an adult he owns a home and now he's got a hack
cable box yeah i'm just like how the fuck does this guy own a home you know i mean yeah well
that's another thing too because he's dumb too like he's like really dumb sure i mean actual dumper you can
also get a house for like you can put two percent down yeah and back then i think when he got his
house like in this 80s it was way cheaper too yeah um yeah there was a kid this kid chad his
parents let him get all the pay-per-views crazy and then he would tape them on vhs oh yeah and then there was the uh
the wwf one where they had the swimsuit competition between sable and yeah where sable just had like
the hands on her tits yes and i was like i need that tape that was uncomfortable because that was
a raw so it was like a monday night it wasn't was it yeah oh okay but he had a tape of that that's
what it was yeah and so
i was watching that in my i was we had to go to my aunt's house that night yeah i was like i want
to watch wrestling i didn't know that that was gonna happen yeah so i'm just watching and they're
with like all my aunts my uncles my dad my mom yeah and then that happened and then my parents like what the fuck is wrestling
it's just like this chick with fake tits and like handprints on them walking around stage
yeah i was like this so i think they did it twice because yes they did a pay-per-view lingerie thing
and then the next night after they did that yeah because also too that i forget who the other
person was but there's like a nip i gotta google this there's a nip slip and i was like chad i need to borrow that tape i know and he was like as long as you
give it back i'm like i'm never giving this tape back so funny dude and i think i probably like
rewound and pause that like vhs pausing of like oh my god who was that nipple i'm not gonna remember
yeah it's so funny too because because when you look back on it,
I remember thinking Sable was the hottest chick in the world.
And you look back, you're like, oh, she was just like a white trash chick
with blown out blonde hair, no ass.
She had the platinum blonde hair and then the fakest tits.
Yeah.
That's no ass.
Dude, ass didn't become a thing until... That's not bad tits yeah like that's no ass dude ass didn't become a thing that's not bad
but yeah that's yeah it didn't become a thing until like for white people like until like i
would say like the last six seven years i was gonna say like five years ago yeah like no one
cared about like you if you look at hollywood chicks it was just all skinny chicks no ass big
tits it was also like hot to not have a butt either yes because i remember
if you're like a white chick and you had a big butt like it was like you're fat you're like oh
no but no yeah and then also it was like well how do you do that it's like just do squats
chicks were like okay yeah i know it's correct but now i think a lot of like the instagram asses
are like fake i'm sure some of them are.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I mean, like, look, that's insane.
Well, now we're looking at the picture.
Yeah. So, yeah.
Google the sable swimsuit competition.
You just gotta Google sable hands.
I like that.
They're like, like, they're crazy fake tits.
Yes.
Like, it looks like she just has like soft balls with like a lot of space
in between yeah and black hands well very progressive yeah that's right she was making
a statement right she's well yeah yeah i and actually if you zoom in close it says hands up
don't shoot that's what those that's what those hands are man oh crazy uh yeah but, like I was like, Chad, you get all those.
And so it would be a thing like, oh, let's watch WrestleMania.
It's this and I'm like, oh my God, do you have a tape of stable doing the
swimsuit competition?
And yeah, I did.
I was like, thank God.
It's just so crazy because like wrestling was like a thing for kids.
And then that whole era of the raw era nuts yeah
it was a yeah stone cold showing up with a gun and yeah there's just people saying suck it all
the time and then like i'm like a fourth grader just saying i'm having i have a shirt that says
suck it oh yeah i mean every single kid was doing like the hand motions yeah like you can't do that i'm like oh yeah i can't
yeah my parents didn't know anything like they didn't like like ever really keep up with it like
every now and like they would see something like that and like what the fuck are you guys watching
yeah and you're like oh it's just american tv they're probably like it's all this is all american
tv yeah just like tits like rednecks fight And then also when you're young, I had no concept of what white trash is.
Right.
And so I went to five RAW of WWF events.
Oh, that's awesome.
I went to like two Smackdowns, three RAWs.
And you're just like, oh oh we're just like this brown family surrounded by
just yeah racist white trash like and my dad's probably just like what the there were and like
to be fair like back then it was so popular but still it was a majority of people that i would
never want to be around right now well wrestling is white trash theater yes that's what it is and
like it's like you even have the same like storylines as theater and it's done in that way
too where it's like i'm vince mcmahon and i don't like you and be like then stone cold comes out
and he's like actually i do like you and i hate vince mcmahon they're like yeah you're good yeah
so they'd have all that shit too and even like the romance stuff too like mark henry got that woman pregnant or whatever like the 65 year old remember that
oh yeah like old wrestler and shit like that so stupid um simpler times simpler times so
you're gonna vote on friday i think i'm gonna go vote friday at BCCC or Camden Yards. Yeah, BCCC is the closest one.
It's close, and I heard it doesn't have long lines.
Yeah, that's what I heard, too.
I'm worried Friday might be a little packed.
I know.
I was worried about it.
And this sucks.
I'm home all day, but Karen's like, we got it.
She was like, you're going to vote without me?
I'm like, I guess not.
Babe, no, I'm not going to vote without you, babe.
Yeah.
Babe, no way.
Well, I mean, you should go vote twice anyway for Kanye.
Right, that's true. Yeah. Babe, no way. Well, I mean, you should go vote twice anyway for Kanye. Right.
That's true.
Kanye.
Get in there.
Yeah.
I'm still worried.
Like, I'll talk to my dad.
He's like, no, it's over.
Trump's out of there.
I'm like, why?
Well, if it goes to the courts, we're fucked.
But totally.
Yeah.
Who knows?
Yeah.
I'm like, all right.
Well, we'll see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I saw my dad on my birthday or like
the day before that was fun um but his stomach has been messed up so like he'll just call me
like josh i cannot shit like okay cool he's gotta take that miralax he's taking some stool softener
so last year around christmas i took him to urgent care because he has digestive problems and uh he also just doesn't eat great either yeah he's like josh i eat really good like i only have
fast food every couple weeks i'm like i don't know i'm over there like every weekend and you're like
and you're like ah let's do a pizza should we make milkshakes i got pretzels and i'm like all
right dad eats how i ate like when I was 12.
Yes.
And that he eats like he did when he was like 23.
Like, man, I was like the fast food I get like it's not that much.
When I was 23, I get like three quarter pounders.
I'm like, right.
Yeah.
Because your body could process that shit like you can't do that.
Dude, that's nuts.
I know.
I'm like, you can't do that. The fact that anyone eats fast food now that isn't poor, pretty wild.
It is tasty, I guess.
It's so good, dude.
It's tasty.
But you cannot do that to yourself.
Yeah.
Every couple of weeks is a lot.
Like every two weeks for fast food?
I think so.
I think that's really low.
I also don't think-
Compared to the average American.
Yes.
Average American probably goes like
i'd have to say multiple times a week yeah i was gonna be like every other day on average
but like my thing is it's like okay if you want like a burger just go like go to five guys because
that burger will be better for you than a burger at mcdonald's yeah but also there's not like a
five guys near him true um but no i'm i'm with you too i'm like all right like
he's like no i was uh he's like i've been pretty good i mean well actually i've had a lot of meat
these past two weeks i had two corn beef hash sandwich a blow blow i'm like there you go yeah
i wonder though if he just did like an all meat thing i wonder if that would be fine
well he has like a hard thing he has a hard thing thing. And he, yeah, he's just older.
And I think his digestive system is just like breaking down a little bit.
I'm like, you can't do that shit.
Like, eat us out.
Like, he's like, vegetables are gross.
So funny.
I'm like, you can't do that, you know?
Dude, I've just been eating.
Well, this past weekend, we fucking, whoo, buddy.
It was, it was all.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You texted me and Rami and you were like, I'm disgusting.
Yeah.
So Friday, like, Karen and I, we got to dinner and we go to the Dillon's and they have like
a really good burger.
So I get a smash burger.
Love a smash.
Best kind of burger.
Love a smash burger.
And then, which I thought was a double patty.
It's not, but still very filling.
Okay.
As long as it's filling, I'm all right.
Very filling. Yeah. It comes with fries. I got a fucking sandwich that that is a great deal uh i
got a sandwich from dylan's i got their fucking uh like fried chicken no they're po boy sandwich
or fried yeah the fried oyster sandwich fucking rip off this is 19 there are four four oysters
on this thing dude so yeah i yeah. I got to say oysters.
I love them.
I would never pay for them.
Four oysters for $19.
Dude, we paid.
We went to Dylan's and we also we got the like the roasted oysters.
Yeah, that shit's like 15 bucks.
And we got I think we got like six see there you go and i got
a sandwich for 19 yeah but like so many like three of them were just like so small shriveled pieces
of shit and it was like salty as fuck and i'm like yeah but i never complained so we're just
like well that was a waste of that was a lot of money yeah and i'm like i get they're probably like
locally sourced or whatever but i'm like give me a couple more for 19 i know dude if you get
yeah but that's you got to know that going in like if you're getting like you're not gonna get
and it sucks because you're there and you're just like fuck yeah no i went i did carry out and
i grabbed the bag and it felt like there was nothing in in the bag and i was like it's my
sandwich like yeah and i was like okay and then i looked at it i was like there's fucking nothing
nineteen dollars yeah not worth it not worth it man uh anyway okay so you ate a ton i had a burger
then the next day the this place by my house, Chuck's, was doing a smash burger double patty.
And I was like, man, I really want to try it.
Yeah.
So we got it.
Pretty good.
Not great.
Then Sunday, I made a smash burger myself.
Yeah.
Oh, so much.
It was pretty good.
I used cheddar cheese instead of American, which is a mistake.
You got to go American.
Okay.
Because that's like cheddar is too much. It too thick and american melts so nice and it's not real cheese though
do you know that oh yeah i didn't know that yeah it's it's just like a weird like liquid that they
kind of just like freeze i learned that on bon appetit which bone apetit god do woke culture
i gotta say bon appetit was probably like the best thing
that came into my life in the last couple years because i didn't start watching like youtube's
uh at all you met karen in the past couple years seriously dude like bon appetit the test kitchen
videos yeah i didn't start watching those until i moved in with evan and eric like a couple years
ago yeah because like they would just watch youtube all the time and i didn't start watching those until I moved in with Evan and Eric a couple years ago. Yeah. Because they would just watch YouTube all the time.
And I never knew people did that.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I do it now all the time.
Yeah.
I mean, there's so much HD content that it's amazing.
And so we'd watch Binging with Babish and all these cool cooking shows.
Like Epicurious has.
Eater has a bunch of cool ones.
But dude, the test kitchen was great
because like all their meals are for the most part they're like 10 they try to keep it to like
10 ingredients or less it's very accessible yeah they make it fun and like the people on the show
were like and i gotta like we're great and they had their downfall a couple months ago where like
the guy was like in brown face or something yeah apparently
he was not great either he seems like a douche yes but but yeah they're like head editor had a
picture where he was in brown face for halloween i gotta say it was very mild as far as brown face
goes it wasn't the worst well the problem was he was like i I'm Puerto Rican. Yeah. Which is like, hey, show me a Puerto Rican.
80% I think I'm going to look like that.
Hey.
He wore a jersey with a gold chain and a hat tilted.
Who cares?
Wow.
Racist Umar.
And so anyway, so then like that blew up and then it came out that.
And you got to keep in mind, we don't know how much of this shit is actually true.
So they were like, oh, well, the colored people on the show get paid way less.
And they don't have chances for advancement.
And they don't have a chance for advancement.
I'm like, well, we don't know if that's true.
Also, how long have you been there?
I don't know.
And they're like, how good is your work?
Dude, I got to say, the best people on that show were the white people.
Like Brad, Claire, and Molly were the best ones on Bon Appetit Test Kitchen.
So that show, and then people were saying like, well, Sola, who's like, I don't know what she is, but she's ethnic.
I think she's, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And people were saying like how she has way more experience.
I'm like, yeah, but she's not as good on camera as the others well even that like that sounds subjective it's like when it comes to views
it's right there it's like brad has 12 million views you have 80 000 oh but you know what she
would say it's like well they're pushing him more and they're blah blah blah like they're helping
him more but i would like
brad easily the best one out of all of them i love brad he's he's funny as fuck i like gabby
too gabby cracks me up gabby's cool but i never really watched her videos i didn't really see i
think kind of towards the end i think she did what were the most what were the two you watched the
most uh of gabby or like in general?
No, of Bon Appetit.
Oh, Brad.
And then at the time, Karen really loved Claire.
And Claire was great.
I like Claire, but like her stuff was like, I don't know.
It was kind of fun to see her because basically she would take like a candy and then try to
make it from scratch or something.
Yeah, something that we grew up with.
Like a gourmet Cheeto, like made from scratch.
Which was really interesting.
But Brad and so what works with Brad too though is the editing was amazing. that like a gourmet like a gourmet cheeto like made from scratch that was really interesting brad
and so what works with brad too though is the editing was amazing and he was so funny so fun
the fucking uh mushroom foraging one i know have you seen that one yeah when they put the words up
on the screen i think this is my favorite brad moment when they put up the words on the screen
that he's he's trying to ask them why they use a basket.
Yeah.
Remember that moment?
Yeah.
When it's just like so do you okay?
So when you're out here with the basket, could you and so they're putting up every word he
says it's filling up the screen and then the other half of the screen.
It just says why do you use a basket?
Yeah, like 500 words. He's just just like yeah is that like something that you
uh okay so never mind but no brad was great and then yeah i feel like he's independent of like
everything else that was going on as well yeah and look i don't know the full story i'm just saying
so then like everyone was like well fuck bone App. And this is what happens. Someone makes a claim, and then everyone acts like they know the full story,
that this is exactly how it's going down.
Just like what happened with Union Brewing in Baltimore.
I got a little inside scoop.
I got some inside scoop, too.
I don't want to say it on the pot.
Well, it wasn't great
for a bit but now it's better yeah yeah well we'll talk after yeah but um well real quick for
people listening union is uh what i heard bottom line is that it's good now like it's what it's
safe to support it essentially it's what safe to support it or like fine. Oh, okay.
Yeah.
That's cool.
That's what I heard.
All right.
But anyways, go on.
No, what I heard was also shitty, but what people were demanding,
like or people were saying all this stuff like, well, this is illegal.
How is he not?
How are charges not pressed?
And it's like, well, that's because what you think happened
didn't happen the way you think it happened yeah i also i that kind of drives me nuts too with like
the counter argument of like well how come you didn't report it to the police must not happen
and it's like not everybody does that some people are like are ashamed of stuff too you have to
prove it so like if you're saying like well he did this and you're like well what's the proof
you're like well i don't have any like well we're not going to just go into a
person's right house i mean unless they're black and you're going to murder them of course or it's
a little black girl with a lemonade stand i'll fucking kick it down right now it is funny though
that like you you know you're like hey this guy raped me and they're like do you have proof and
you're like no and then but you can just go in a home and just start shooting. It's fucking crazy.
Or you have to say, don't rape anybody.
Yeah.
Like, there's just untested rape kits.
And they just like...
Or you go to a cop and you're like, hey...
Like, I saw recently on the Hamden Neighbors Facebook group,
a woman's car was sideswiped it was like a hit
and run no one left information she called the cops they're like hey unless unless someone got
plates we can't file a report zero they can do but then it's just like you just go in a person's
home and just start shooting yeah it's tight you're like here's the thing i think it was a
black guy like yeah we'll be right over why didn't you say something You're like, here's the thing. I think it was a black guy. They're like, what? Yeah. We'll be right over.
Why didn't you say something?
I'm like, wow, that's nuts.
Anyway.
He's shooting a gun.
Did you sideswipe that car?
Yeah.
Go, go, go, go.
But what were you saying?
Oh, Brad, yeah.
Oh, but yeah, bon appetit.
So then what they did was they, a bunch of them, I guess, were like, hey, we want more money. And I guess bon appetit so then what they did was they a bunch of them i guess were like hey
we want more money and i guess bon appetit was like nah yeah and then so they were like we're
not going to do any more videos for you which i get huh so but they still work there they all
still work there oh except for claire she never was she was always a con she was like a contractor
contractor and she decided to end her
relationship with them nice um which also like why the fuck not yeah my thing was like why don't you
guys all leave yeah start your own thing yeah and you'll be fucking millionaires oh yeah i mean the
youtube views alone they would be that you know like that's crazy based on ad revenue
nuts so anyway and then also it's like hi i'm brad and i love this type of that you know like that's crazy based on ad revenue not so anyway and then
also it's like hi i'm brad and i love this type of knife you know what i mean you'd get yeah if
you do that on instagram so much money selena gomez got like a million dollars to do a thing
for coke on instagram yeah i think the only issue would be um you would need a lot of startup
capital to like have the same...
Because they had access to anything they wanted.
Sure.
Because Bon Appetit just paid for it.
Yeah, but I'm guessing there's crews out there and stuff too.
The same way that editors come through.
Yeah, for sure.
There's probably teams you can assemble.
But anyway, so then they recasted.
And then it's like when you look at the casting you're
you go it is cool oh wait so it's back yes but they recasted so it's like brad in it it's all
new people brad andy and i think chris are still yeah there okay i. I love that Chris guy.
I assumed he was gay for so long.
Same.
And then when you find out he had a wife and kids.
But just his voice.
I'd always just do this bit because supposedly he has the best palate,
the most discerning palate.
I just feel like, oh, this is good soup.
This tastes good.
But you know what my favorite thing to eat is?
Pussy. And they're like jesus yeah so i think they stayed and they put out andy and brad did a new
video it was fine but all the other new people like it's you know are they like super hot that'd
be so funny it'd be great if they were hot and they couldn't cook at all they're like today we're making macaroni and cheese but they are what probably every trump
supporter thinks like all liberals are like you know so like very uh like like very ethnic and
like uh out there tatted up pierccings, and like just, you know,
and it's just like so gross now because it's like, oh, well, you just purposefully.
And not that they're probably all amazing, talented.
Right.
I'm sure, yeah, that they have a great resume.
But like I watched one video and I was like, dude, this guy fucking sucks.
He's boring.
He's not funny. There's nothing lik like dude this guy fucking sucks he's boring he's not funny there's
nothing likable about this guy yeah the only thing this guy has going for him besides like the cook
it's just like he checks a box yes and that's like it's the same thing that happened to stand-up
comedy you know where like these people like comedy central and net was like, we got to get like young, hip people of color.
Yes.
Are they funny?
That's the least important part.
Least important part about comedy.
Crazy.
Yeah.
And it's like you got to get someone who's good at cooking
and fucking entertaining as shit to watch.
Yeah, because anybody can be good at cooking,
but it's like, why are we filming you?
Yeah.
But, I mean, honestly,
that's what cooking videos were for
the longest time like it wasn't funny or interesting it was just like here's how you do it right and i
think that's what bon appetit magazine was for the longest time like it's like sort of like a classy
hoity-toity like here's how to make a creme brulee you know and then you get somebody like brad that's
like kind of like a mess like bull in a china shop thing and then people like me and you like it you know yeah well with the bon appetit
and i guess conde nast uh is like they conde nast is like the uh people who do all the video stuff
so it's like a different company okay um i guess they teamed up with bon appetit but um the guy who
they ended up firing because of brown face um he
was really like look because they used to just make simple cooking videos right and but he was
like it really has to be personality driven yeah which is true for everything like any like comedian
or like anything like people want to invest in they invest in because they like think they know
the people they think like oh i like think they know the people.
They think like, oh, I would hang out with these people. Well, yeah, that's where the shit, and it sounds gross, but branding.
Yeah, exactly.
Where it's like, I like their brand.
And so, yeah, I don't know.
It's just there's something missing with this new cast.
Huh.
Well, it sounds like you're just racist.
Hey, I'm a bit racist.
Yeah, thank God I'm not white and I'm allowed to say these opinions out loud.
I know, I'm like, windows are open, Megan.
Yeah, fuck it.
Yeah, and then it has to be really hard too because it's like,
okay, you have 100,000 views.
We're normally used to 900,000.
They're like, why, are you mad at me?
Like, no, I think you're doing amazing.
Yeah, well well that's
like another thing that i mean that's what sucks for them is like now all these new people are
coming to this um company that people are just gonna not never give another chance to you know
yeah and it's also weird too because it is so um transparent what're doing. Yeah, but the thing is,
and then so that's another thing that is frustrating is like,
so they did what people asked them to do.
Yeah.
And then you look at the comments,
and I know that's not really representative of real life,
but then it's like, oh, this is gross.
You're just like checking boxes. You're blah, oh, this is gross. You're not, you're just, you're just like, you know, checking boxes.
Yeah.
You're blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, okay, well, what the fuck do you want them to do?
Well, that's why it's the old adage.
Like, you're not going to please everybody.
Like, that's, and that's where this stuff comes from, too, where it's like, you see
a blow up on Twitter and it's like, it's a very small fraction of people.
And it might be trending on Twitter.
There might be like hundreds of thousands of tweets tweets but it's not a hundreds of thousands of
people do you think the other people are pissed at sola for blowing up the spot uh i don't know
i don't know or maybe you know what maybe there was like a lot of animosity that we didn't even
know about i mean that's the same thing too like we can sit here and say whatever but we're like
those people too like you don't know what the fuck was yeah for sure we don't know but yeah i
mean and it could be too that that guy was like shitty and maybe it's and he created like a hostile
yeah but not even hostile like i think he and some people too like he wouldn't even say like
i'm a racist guy but he might not have he might have just been shitty to those people too you know yeah um yeah
pretty wild yeah it's uh it it is interesting how like it tore that down which like it another
weird like 2020 thing i know just like wait the people that make these like kitschy cute like
let's make a fucking fig new Newton from scratch has a racism problem?
Like, what?
And honestly, the biggest lesson to be learned from, like, Aziz,
Bon Appetit, I can't remember what other comedian it was.
You got to kill these women.
Like, pretty much any comic is when there's like a
social movement,
do not take a stand.
Like don't.
Because apparently what happened was Bon Appetit
posted, food has always been
political, blah, blah, blah.
Some chick who saw
that who Bon Appetit
wouldn't let her
run
an article in their magazine or
that included a recipe from puerto rico and then she blew that she started all that shit
and then sola piled on with the picture and then someone dug up and then through that someone dug
up a picture of that guy in brown face and then sola saw that and like which i understand like you work for this white guy you're a you know a person of color like i
totally get it yeah um i mean i don't think i would actually give a fuck but what are you gonna
do but uh well i mean yeah it's just everyone's different everyone is and you don't know their
experience with racism and like what they've gone through before and yeah all that stuff like
and yeah i mean it well
it just goes to show you can take the side but you better like walk the walk you know like ted
alexander is a comedian that uh protested at um occupy wall street and he's like very political
but i think nothing's come out about him because he kind of walks the walk that's where you get in
trouble is being fake and being like right we're woke it's like are you or is it and this is exactly what they're doing doing it
for uh monetary purposes they're just like yeah we're woke and because everybody else is right
and it's like oh you're woke for dollars well how come you dress like this on halloween you know
what i mean yeah and i think the same thing happened to chris d'alia like he said some
i was just about to bring that up because i'm watching uh you you ever watch that
show yes he plays a rapist in it bro he doesn't just play a rape like a pedophile rapist he plays
a comedian famous comedian child rapist and it's like that's like ted bundy being like i'm in a movie playing a murderer
i know you have to that's like the level of psycho people in show business are like why
would you take that role and also it was like a similar comedian so his name's henderson like
oh that's handy he's pretty crazy like i'm like so you knowingly and i don't think he hooked up
with underage girls,
but still, you are fucking 18 and 19-year-old girls,
and then you're like, man, here's a role of a famous comedian fucking underage.
Why would you do that?
Dude, because I got to say, I'm not defending him.
I don't know if what he did is illegal it's definitely creepy right and
that's what i'm saying i don't i don't think it was an underage thing but it's still it's like
bro you're you're swimming in that lake like why would you even get close to that yeah you know
what i mean where it's like yeah yeah like or same with this guy where he's like i'm gonna play a
like if the editor-in-chief is like i'm gonna play a racist you know i know if you have those skeletons or you're like you're hovering around that why even
get close to that it's insane good that's how insane like people in show business and i think
like when you're successful and have money you just feel i mean dude think think about a guy like, fuck, I don't know, like Harvey Weinstein.
Yeah.
The fact that he thought that would never come back to bite him in the ass.
Yeah.
I mean, that's insane.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Well, it's also, it's before social media.
A lot of this stuff wouldn't happen without that Halloween picture.
Social media didn't
really or maybe it did no it did someone had posted on instagram god and that guy yeah wants
to murder i think his wife or someone posted it originally yeah it'd be like haha and then who
saved it you know what i mean yeah damn yeah and slept on it for that long for like four years.
Yeah.
Woo.
Not great.
I'm just waiting to see what like happens to me.
You got to go through it.
Well, yeah.
Shane Gillis brought up a good point about that of like I think when it might have not
been when it happened to him, but Shane Gillis just for people is the guy who got fired from
SNL.
Yeah.
Like we're hired and fired in
like the same day like and like two weeks a week maybe well yeah but i think it was within hours
of the announcement like oh all the articles all that yeah it was like yeah like uh slurs i think
i like i think i sent it to you of like holy shit it was a variety article of like shane gillis new
cast member like oh holy fuck yeah and then i think i was getting a drink with some people and then you texted me like uh-oh and it was like racist
comments from new cast member like it was quick and it was funny too because i was at the gym
and i checked instagram and he had posted it to he had posted and like his story that he's a new
cast member yeah and then i googled it because i thought it might have
been a joke yeah because he had just done my show yeah i was like what the fuck and um it was real
and then so i sent him a text i was like ah congrats man and you better start deleting your
podcast lol he just wrote back lol and little did i know that they did delete them. But for some reason, they left up some videos on YouTube.
I think so.
Yeah.
Was it?
Yeah.
It might have been on YouTube.
Yeah.
And if it wasn't a video, I think if it was just audio, it wouldn't have hit as hard.
Yeah.
I mean, but also like he was on Legion of Skanks and other podcasts.
Like if it wasn't that, it would have been something else.
But to his point he said
that somebody posted something of like wow i guess all comedians better like scrub their stuff now or
like anybody better scrub their podcast and scrub their content he's like so what you're saying is
you're admitting yeah that everybody has fucked up stuff right yes because it's like so so yeah
you have to be able to draw the line there of like, yeah, nobody's fucking perfect here.
You know what I mean?
Dude, and that just sucks, too, like for aspiring comedians in New York and L.A. who have done like...
If you've been on Legion of Skanks...
Yeah, you're toast.
I mean, there's no future for you in show business.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, well, Dan Soder does it.
I think he'll be fine, but...
He's gotten there before, you know, like before people started putting their attention to podcasts. Yeah. I mean, well, Dan Soder does it. I think he'll be fine. He's got in there before, you know, like before people started putting their attention to podcasts.
But if you're a young comic and you want to be like, I don't know, like any sort of mainstream, if you want to watch TV show, you want to host this or that.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, dude, you can't go on a podcast like that because even if you don't say anything, but you sit there and laugh at like a shitty joke.
Yeah.
If you're next to it.
You're fucked.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
And honestly, like Legion of Skanks is entertaining, but is it worth it to ruin your career?
And it's entertaining, too, because they go really far.
And sometimes I'm like, okay, we get it.
Sometimes it's dumb.
I'm like, you're an edgelord.
Wow, what you're saying is so fucked up.
It's not even funny.
Exactly, because it's like we know the angle you're going to take.
Yes.
There's nothing fresh about the comedy.
Right.
It's all been done before.
Right.
I mean, I think all of it eventually, I mean, I think is good.
But yeah, when it just goes like super, super fast.
Like you saw Louis CK, right?
No, I actually didn't make it out.
You didn't go.
I got a little worried because cases are going up like crazy in Baltimore.
Yeah.
And I was just like, I don't know if I should go.
Damn, I thought we were trending down.
But yeah, Matt just told me we're up.
But yeah, he's like, yeah, that's what happens.
Everybody's like, oh, it's gone, and then you just fuck around.
Yeah, man, you do act like it's gone.
Here we are inside inside.
I mean, we're a little spread out in green rooms and maybe like one or two
shit.
We probably should have done this outside.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, you were in there.
You were in the green room.
Oh, yeah.
Fuck.
Oh, then we're fine.
Yeah, I was in one. I've only been in two green rooms, and you were in the green room. Oh, yeah. Fuck. Oh, then we're fine. Yeah.
I was in one green room. I've only been in two green rooms, and you were in one of them.
Well, Lord knows what you were doing in the other one.
And half the people that were in the green room me and you were in were also in that other green room.
Ah.
So we're all fucked.
That was like over a week ago now, right?
That's like this.
That was like two weeks ago ago now, right? That's like this. That was like two weeks ago.
Yeah, we're fine.
But the original Green Rouse, it was like three weeks, four weeks ago.
But when we were in that green room, that green room is smaller,
half the size of your kitchen.
Oh, Arlington Drats House?
Yeah.
No window either.
There were one, two, three, four, five, six.
I think at one point there were seven people in that green room.
Jesus.
And you don't want to be that guy.
You're just like, what are you?
Because Mark Norman, the headliner that we were working with,
everyone wants to hang out with him.
Yeah.
Everyone wants to hang out with him.
Yeah.
A local comic that lives four hours away is like, I'm coming.
And they did no yeah but
like so then uh like sean joy stopped by because you know they have a relationship uh right the
comedy artwork guy stopped by because they you know he does work for them and then chris's friend
uh alex was there yeah um who else stopped like barack obama obama no that's cool yeah i think but yeah
we got it so i don't need all seven but i guess sorry but people just yeah they just and you're
just like seeing this groom and you're like oh man yeah bummer this ain't great this ain't great
but then also you know like we're hanging out before the show, me and Chris and Mark and the guy out, Kid Alex.
We're hanging out in the hotel room.
Yeah.
And Mark travels the country still doing literally.
He doesn't give a shit about anything.
I was going to say he's going like secret parties in New York.
He's on the road like he's in bars drinking.
Yeah.
I want to say he's a wild card, but it's not even a wild card because it's predictable.
It's like he's going to get it or he's had it.
Yeah.
And then there was one day and then a couple of times I ate inside a restaurant.
I did that once.
The very high ceilings, though.
But that was also over the summer.
I ate inside Dillon's and then I ate inside True Chesapeake because it was raining.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
But we ate outside this past because like I only do it if it's like I won't be the person.
If it's convenient and I'm really hungry.
I won't be the person who's like, I don't want to do it.
I don't want to.
But like so like this past Friday, like we ate outside.
Yeah.
It's fucking cold.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I want to invest in companies to make outdoor heaters.
I feel like that's going to like take off.
Oh, maybe.
Especially restaurants.
Like, because if you can't eat indoors, they're fucked.
Yeah.
Like they got away with it in the summer because it's hot as shit outside.
We're going to, we're getting our patio.
We're getting a patio professionally done yeah we're gonna buy a couple
of those heaters i like it i like it we're gonna try to invest in like outdoor hang stuff smart
very smart i like that yeah we're gonna be doing this for literally a year oh yeah a year more
fauci said he's like yeah this will go past 2021 probably a little into 2022 great
great nice well it's because we fucked up china's like people are crowd surfing in china
well uh no you didn't know oh you didn't see that like there's like uh china had like wuhan
there was like they were having raves and wuhan like bands played oh i saw there was like some
crazy like pool party thing they
had there's like a there's like a wave pool thing um yeah i mean yeah i just wish everybody just
wore a mask like in the beginning like that would have really brought it all down yeah but we didn't
know yeah i but some people did and like obviously trump was like ah you don't have to wear a mask i
mean um but it's also it feels relatively normal to like you just you can do pretty
much anything as long as you have a mask on.
Like, yeah, I don't want to be in a room with like 50 people with a mask on.
It does suck when you have you done this.
Have you gone somewhere and forgotten a mask?
Yeah, I so I have a bunch because I have a bunch of the disposable ones but i have like been almost
to the door of the grocery store i'm like ah fuck it's in my car or something like that so i gotta
like keep yeah i need to buy a box and just keep half of them in my car that's that's what i do
i usually have one in my car but then like sometimes you put in your pocket you forget
and yeah dude it i remember one time i was like running late for a show or
something and i was like i was on the road and i realized i didn't have a mask and i just got
so i was like fuck i just started like i'm like i yelled i was like god damn it and then you have
to like text people like hey do you have a can you bring a mask you have a mask you have a mask
fucking sucks yeah i was in the liquor store in the corner getting beer,
and this dude walked in with just his shirt over his nose.
But he was cool.
He was just like, hey, do you guys sell masks?
And he's like, yeah, we do.
And so he just bought one there.
So it was probably the same situation.
And I think he had a skateboard with him, too.
So he probably just went to skate and then was like, ah, fuck.
I don't have a mask.
But it's just funny.
Now you can pop into a liquor store and be like, do you have a mask?
And I'm like, yes, we do. Yeah. But it's just funny. Now you can pop into a liquor store and be like, do you have a mask? And like, yes, we do.
Yeah.
Oh, dude, I was in a speaking of being indoors.
Ramin, our buddy, friend of the pod comedian, booked me to do.
Oh, yeah.
I want to do that show.
Don't.
Don't do it.
He asked me if I want to.
Don't do it.
It's like and I told him I was like, dude, just stop doing it.
Like, what are you doing?
You know, even like his chick that he's with. She was like, dude, just stop doing it. What are you doing? And even his chick that he's with, she was like, don't do this.
This show is below your standards.
And it's nothing against Ramin, but it's like you're going against all the odds right now.
It's COVID.
It's Saturday night.
The weather is still decent outside.
So people are going to do outdoor stuff. Yeah. It's Saturday night. The weather is still decent outside. Yeah.
So people are going to do outdoor stuff.
You're in Arlington, which is Virginia, but it's right by DC.
So people are taking it as they should seriously as fuck around there.
Well, also, you can't even really pack the place out.
Capacity is probably what?
Like 25 people?
Yeah, maybe. Or less but so here's the thing
it's like so i got booked rami's like yeah i got this show um i can't guarantee money but we'll
split the tips oh and i was like fuck it i just want to do spots i want to build material yeah
and he was like yeah like 30 you like we'll each do 30
minutes and i'm like okay which sounds insane yeah but i was like if there's like 15 people
there that would be fun also yeah you haven't done that long and i haven't done more than 12
right yeah but still like 30 you haven't done 30 minutes in like seven months jesus christ yeah yeah fuck no i don't even know i could do yeah but so uh i show up it's an hour drive it's nine o'clock
on a saturday so i left at like 7 30 yeah get there it's an hour drive dude i walk in and uh
it felt like i was doing comedy when i first started because when you first start doing
comedy yeah you do what's called like ambush comedy oh yes yes yes where the restaurant
people are in the restaurant and they're there and their audience members and they don't know it
yes the show is gonna be in the middle of this. They have no idea it's about to happen.
The worst when it's like, oh, you thought you were just going to hang out with your friends.
Nope.
You have to listen to these people and you don't know who the fuck they are.
Because for some reason, it took up until around 2013 for people who run independent bar shows to realize hey maybe we should start looking for
bars that have like side rooms so we don't bother everyone and people are there just for the show
and we should also turn the tvs off yes and you can sell tickets that way yeah and uh so like for
the first like three years like every show i ever did was that like you show. There's really no one there except for the comedians.
The people who are there don't want to hear comedy.
They're just there to have food and drinks.
I, like, vividly remember the faces of people when you go to turn the TV off.
Or, like, the producer turns the TV off.
Oh, I'm watching the game.
Like, oh, we're doing a comedy show.
It's like, comedy?
All right.
Yeah.
So, I get there at 8.30, and I'm like, Ramin like rami let's just dude just cancel the show text
i was like text frankie who's the other comic on this show and i was like just tell her don't come
and like fuck dude like we're this is gonna suck like a lot right it's not we're we're above this
yeah and there's like you know there'll be those dickheads who'll say like oh what are you too good i'm like yes i am too good for this also my ego can't take it
and no one's gonna learn or grow from this we're just gonna annoy people yeah we're gonna just hate
ourselves right and uh so but two chicks walk in with two dudes. Dudes are douchebags.
Cool.
Huge douchebags.
Just typical weird 90s bro vibe because you're in Arlington,
so they have backward baseball hats on and they're like...
Puka shell necklace.
Or they're wearing like...
JNCO jeans.
Shitty baggy, not like super baggy but like loose fitted
jeans and like just you know like a he uh this one guy has like a it's weird he has like a usa hat
which is now you're like oh well he's like oh and then he he walks he's like oh there's comedy the
two chicks came because they saw there was gonna be comedy oh they apparently had picked these guys
up at the bar they were at before ye Yeesh. One of the dudes is married.
Weird.
Nice.
They're just buying drinks for these.
I'm like, what the fuck is this?
USA.
And then the chick's like, oh, they're douchebags.
And then I'm like, well, why did you bring them?
Yeah, what are you doing?
Yeah.
So they're the only people there for the show.
They're not really even there for the show.
The guys are talking.
Ramin turns the TVs off. People are even there for the show the guys are talking ramin turns the tvs off
people are like what the fuck because the world series is on and he turns off the tvs in the bar
oh no on a saturday night on a saturday night this guy was like no this one couple I felt he was like, oh, we came here to watch the game.
God.
But he was cool about it.
And then so Romney goes on stage.
He does one joke and bullshits.
And then he brings me up and I'm like, this sucks.
And then that guy in the USA has like, tell racist jokes.
Tell racist jokes.
And I'm like, no.
I was like, dude.
And I fucking, I got on him.
I was like, oh, I was like, why?
And I was like, yeah, I said something like, so he was like dude and i fucking i got on him i was like oh i was like why and i was like yeah um i said something like so he was like tell racist jokes this guy's really playing
up his stereotype by the way yeah and anyway there's like no one there there's four people
who are paying attention barely because they're still talking they're drunk they're right yeah
and like the other people i'm like trying to like say i'm sorry and i'm trying to involve them in like a nice way and it's going okay yeah and uh no like you know no jokes are actually
hitting i'm not really doing jokes i'm just fucking around yeah i'm like trying to make
it through 30 minutes so i do this one story this new bit i've been trying to flush out and
the punch line is like um i don't want to explain it, but the punchline is like flying a plane into a building.
One of the punchlines.
Sure.
On brand.
And that guy's like, oh, that's too far.
And I was like, fuck you, dude.
You wanted a racist joke.
You got one.
And I was like, this is what you guys do.
You fucking, you want like, oh, racist jokes.
You tell a joke that you think is too far.
You're a pussy.
I was like, dude, you're a fucking pussy and you're like and i was like yeah you're such a proud boy and that got
like an applause break with everyone in the bar oh yeah dude i went after this guy damn and uh
and then i backed off i was like yeah i know you could kick my ass i'm just please don't do that
kidding but yeah it was great i called him a pussy like three times. I love it. And then here's the kicker.
I was driving home, dude.
And Ramin...
This guy is in the back of my car.
Ramin Venmoed me like 40 bucks, which is not bad.
I only did like 10 minutes.
Oh, that's nice.
And so he called me.
He's like, funny thing, dude.
Oh, I left on my Me Too joke, which was nice because this one guy like in the back would keep clapping.
And he walked over to me.
He's like, dude, I just donated money to you guys just for that Me Too joke.
And I was like, all right, well, I hope it's just a joke to you.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
But no, he was cool.
Yeah.
So we each got 40 bucks because people did donate money.
So there's three of us.
But that guy, that Trump guy or whatever he is, he donated $100.
Holy shit.
Crazy.
Why?
I don't know.
He's still a douchebag.
Fuck him.
But thanks for your money.
Do you think you shamed him into it?
Honestly, I think this is what I think of that guy.
I think he is misguided.
I don't think he's a bad person.
No, no, no.
And that's what I'm saying.
Do you think that he was trying to fuck around and then went too far?
And he's like, oh, man, I did go too far.
Here's $100.
Do you think he shamed him into it?
That or he's trying to impress those chicks, or he's super rich.
Could be all of them.
And just drunk, too.
Like, yeah, I'll give you $100.
That's a lot of money to part with.
Yeah.
I mean, if you're wasted, though, you're like, whatever.
I don't fucking care.
Bro, find me wasted.
I will not throw out $100 to a shitty comedian.
Oh, definitely not.
But to him, it's like a novelty yeah and i think they were like you know because rami you know is also very good at like
hey you know we're artists and usually we're professional comedians and usually we do this
and then now we're forced to do this and so like people feel felt bad for us oh i got you kind of
like yeah you're lucky to see these people yeah Yeah, because people did donate. I mean, like, that's great.
Each got 40 bucks.
That's 120 bucks.
And that's I mean, that's fucking great.
But yet my experience with the tip jar, I guess there have been shows where there's been that before.
But the biggest one is when I did the Ken Island Yacht Club with Donnie Sendstack.
And so the crowd was just like, speaking of like Trump people, all Trump people.
And like I just joked around.
And it's the yacht club.
So it's like rich whites on the Eastern Shore.
And they were so fun.
It was like just joking about like Trump and like you guys probably want to kill me.
And like messing around like, who's gay?
I'm kidding.
You know, like that type of thing.
And after the show, Donnie put out, or no, somebody was like, they had a tip jar because
they normally have bands play.
That's the first ever comedy show.
And they're like, you guys should put out the tip jar.
I think it was like Donnie's uncle or something.
And they're like, all right, yeah, I guess.
And I was hosting.
So it was like, hey, if you guys had fun tonight, we have a tip jar here.
Thank you so much. We had a blast. like they had such a good sense of here like
i love doing those shows for those people when they have a good sense of humor yeah because like
it's the same thing that we're talking about too of like the the new york crowd or whatever like
the bone appetit where it's like yeah i have piercings i'm woke and fuck you middle america
and it's like both sides don't enjoy that like
i don't want you to stereotype me you you know that type of thing where it's like oh let's meet
the middle and fuck around we're more alike than different you know oh yeah so the show was great
we had a lot of fun and then i was like yeah if you guys like want a tip thank you i mean obviously
i know you have fucking money just you know you don't have to buy that next rolex like just give
us a little money you know fucking. They gave us five hundred dollars
plus the money we got paid on top
of that. Plus there was free food and
free drinks. So and then there were
four of us. So that's a hundred and twenty five
each on extra
and like cash and they're like you guys
are great. Like holy fuck
five hundred dollars.
That is it. So
I was like, should I only do republican shows now this is incredible dude
sometimes they are a better audience yeah because they were they were ready to fuck around of course
if i went up like you guys are trapped they'd be like and it's not even in a way like people think
like oh well because you can just be racist right like no dude because they don't and i don't even
know if they're republican but they're just not like woke city liberal whatever so they're just like yeah this is comedy comedians say fucked up things
we don't none of us believe any of this but and it's also like this sounds a little more like
like kind of like frou-frou emotional it's like you're kind of saying i see you and like i don't
hate you you know what i mean like i'm acknowledging who you are but i'm also acknowledging like it's a little fucked up but you know we're humans still you know yeah and like
yeah if you go at them and you're shitty it's like yeah they were shitty back it's like yeah
because you were shitty to them you know like yeah and then i think what happens too is like
a lot of comics like uh especially if you are so used to doing city rooms yeah the jokes are are gonna start being catered
towards like people who live in cities and like you know and they don't mind when you talk about
race a lot or if like and there's nothing wrong with it but if you want to do a room like that
you're gonna struggle totally because it's not that they don't think you're funny it's like one
they're just not gonna get it or two they just feel guilty or something yeah yeah like i can't
relate to this yeah at all like i want to like you but i can't yeah uh speaking of not relating
uh to material i'm doing my first indoor gig at the state theater in uh havada grace maryland
