Starting point is 00:00:00 yes third time is a charm it's a charm everybody welcome back to the digression sessions podcast me josh kaderna here in my house umar khan there in his house uh we are fresh out of jail after being wrong true cute wrongfully accused of seditious acts in the capital uh we just wanted uh mike pence to do the right thing um but we're back yeah and uh i just walk just like the shaman said yeah you know the guy who wore the horns and fur. No shirt. Yeah. I think his defense was like, hey, I just walked through an open door.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Yeah, exactly. That's that's hilarious. Yeah. That's what you do. Like, that's why I just look for people that have their door open and I just walk into their house and I'm like, I'm not breaking and entering. Your door was open. You know, that's all I'm not breaking and entering. Your door was open. That's all I'm doing. No, I just walked through an open door that was open because people scaled walls, broke windows, and brought guns into a federal building. It's like, yeah. Listen, Your Honor, the only thing I'm guilty of is stepping over a few dead cops into a building that was already open.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Okay? That's all I did. I don't, I don't see any signs saying you can't do that. Yeah. I think the funniest thing about the whole Capitol thing was like, we're going to, we're going to make them make Trump president.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Like they didn't, but then they get in there and then they just all turned into like 14 year old Tik Tokers. They all just started making videos and like posting selfies. And yeah, it was like in, it was like in it was like they were like uh special ed kids on a field trip to dc yes and they were like in a museum right and also they were so excited to show off all their merch like for them it was like it's like over it's it's like over the summer when you're like oh the first day of school i'm gonna have the coolest outfit like you were so excited
Starting point is 00:02:10 to have your jinko jeans laid out like they were all so excited to have their flags and have like their q anon t-shirts and be like uh actually i have a maga hat but it's not red it's camo so it's like a little different and i cannot wait to take a picture in Nancy Pelosi's office wearing it. It's going to crush on Instagram. Also, what's so funny, too, is my buddy, she was telling me she... I guess she follows a bunch of those crazy groups on Facebook just to see what people are like. Yeah. And that day, before they actually stormed the capital that day and the day before
Starting point is 00:02:45 they're all like this is my hotel room this is my bathroom and they're making like videos like uh it's just like oh it's insane it's just like yeah you guys are like it's you're you're there to start a revolution and you're pumped on your like holiday in suite are you out of your mind yeah i mean that's that's exactly how george washington did it he was like hey i'm crossing crossing the delaware river what's up guy hey guys it's your boy george washington general the revolution check out all these dudes in my boat yeah carl say what's up to the people all right thanks guys but yeah like seriously that is the thing that i realized i'm like i do you think there would be as much of this like quote-unquote revolution without all the merchandise like trump made i
Starting point is 00:03:41 mean i'm guessing he's not making all of it and it's all knockoff stuff, but every single one of those people had like some QAnon shit or like some, you know, don't tread on me, Trump 2020, all that bullshit. Well, I wonder if it's like, if it's like, you know, when you go to like a game or if you go, like when I went to the Women's March or when we went i went to the that thing that stephen colbert and john stewart did oh there's something for sanity march for sanity or something yeah the rally for sanity or something there was yeah it was like all these carts like just selling merch and i wonder if people are just like hey fuck it they're gonna be in town i might as well sell some merch yeah it's it's like going to a concert
Starting point is 00:04:26 and then buying the shirt there. You're like, I stormed the Capitol in 2020, 2021. It was pretty sick. Yeah, exactly. Pretty sick. But I bet you like all those people, it's just like, it's just immigrants just selling these people merchandise.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Yeah, I did see that actually. Yeah, that it was like one young black kid that was selling like maggot sweatshirts and he's like i don't i fucking hate these people but i'll take their money yeah honestly dude way better than honestly you know would be what's cooler than like squeegeeing cars that have windshields windshield wiper fluid and wipers is yeah fucking sell merch on the side of the road to idiots to shitheads yeah yeah go to dc whatever's in town just sell that merch yeah exactly it would be so funny all the squeegee kids just buying a ton of q anon merch like oh damn this one with the eagle on it that's gonna do numbers right numbers right there. Oh, yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Well, they see. And then also they have like both. They have all merch for all. Like they see like an SUV pull up. That's MAGA pickup truck MAGA. They see like a Prius or Tesla. They're like, all right, let's get the Hillary stuff out or the AOC stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Yeah, exactly. They should. They should. But yeah, all of that shit they were so excited it's just so funny to see a revolution and they're like oh my god my i cannot wait to wear my sweatshirt that says six million jews was not enough you know people are gonna flip out when they see that wait did someone have that for real yeah yeah there there was like uh a guy that was wearing a sweatshirt that said it had like i think it said like staff at camp auschwitz um all that shit yeah damn dude one guy killed himself pretty cool pretty cool huh yeah what the guy uh this dad well here's another crazy thing you got like he? Because he got, like, he got.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Well, he got, he was going to be charged. And he was just like, fuck, I'm going to kill myself. He had, like, two kids. He was, like, he worked at, he worked as, like, an investor or something. He did something at some bank. He was, like, a middle, upper middle class guy. And that's another thing. Like, when you look at all these people. What a poser.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Yeah, well, yeah, exactly. upper middle class guy and that's another thing like when you look at all these people what a poser yeah well yeah exactly but when you look at all these people like uh at first like i was like oh they're poor and they're like you know they're no but they're like teachers they're lawyers uh they're like there was one guy there's their cops there was a guy there that was uh a fucking former gold medalist in the olympics yeah well i don't know if that means much i mean it's still it's i it's not like just some somebody from i don't know that's like living in a cabin in the woods like this person is a part of society like they've been competing at the highest level like obviously there's some money there you know what i mean some type of worldly involvement too so crazy i mean i just don't get like exactly i just can't imagine like if you're like middle class upper middle class i just can't imagine uh being so angry. Like, yeah, sure, some policies suck, but it's like, I don't know, your life is still pretty tight.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Like, what are you upset about? You're white, middle class, and you live in America. What are you storming the fucking Capitol for? Because Tom Hanks is having sex with kids. Yeah, like, what is their grudge? Like, what is going to happen if Trump, like they literally think we're going to like turn into China. That's hilarious. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:12 People who make like $40,000, $50,000 a year, which is good money. I heard a lady say something like, she said, I don't want to have to stand in line for a bag of rice. And I'm just like, lady, you're missing to have to stand in line for a bag of rice and i'm just like lady you're missing three teeth get in line for the goddamn dentist it's fucking insane like it's just crazy that you think this is gonna happen yeah i mean you should want that rice that's going right in between those teeth easy yeah you're getting a lot of rice in there yeah it's i'm a city cuck i'm a city liberal cuck and uh i've stood in line for a lot of food pop-ups and uh i gotta say standing in line for food sometimes is worth it yeah i mean
Starting point is 00:08:53 if it's gonna be like some fusion food some fusion food absolutely it's like the communist situation is more dire as they're in line for a fusion asian thai uh food uh their way the the lines now wrap around several blocks for their pad thai it's it's a horrible situation in communist baltimore yeah oh that would be funny like uh if like you know there's like a news crew going around baltimore and they see like a a bunch of people in line like getting bags of food they're like oh my god like it's just like what are you guys like are you guys all unemployed you had a food pantry he's like no i just paid 30 for a rice bowl at ikiben yeah exactly i'm not broke i'm fucking dumb as shit in fact i have too much money my god my i have so much yeah uh bags uh a bag of rice i'm buying a cup of rice for 16 but i just have some ikiben amazing yeah and also i'll tell you
Starting point is 00:09:59 this i'm paying for the rice but i'm not gonna eat all of it i mean the carbs come on come on i know oh man the carbs are killing me oh i i tell you i tell you um but uh but yeah obviously i mean everybody's talked about it but it just the whole thing was just so fucking stupid and the fact that they were like yeah this is gonna be a revolution like what are you guys talking about how do you know how did how did you think that was gonna work that's what's well also people i think the one thing that i wish and i know no one can say this like not even a person on the news can say this but it really is like everyone keeps saying like oh well like you know these people people are like, they're getting down. They're downtrodden, but also like they're just getting misinformation.
Starting point is 00:10:50 And, you know, like if a president is telling people something, they're going to believe it. It's like, well, no, that's the problem. It's like these people don't have critical thinking skills. They're all, they're taking all of their, um, facts from one idiot, narcissist, narcissistic guy.
Starting point is 00:11:12 And they're just taking his word at face value. They don't like cross reference. They don't read anything. They just listen to this idiot. And then they listen to other idiots who parrot him. And they're like, this is true. And like, so people just parrot him and they're like this is true and like so people just need to point out like we have like a huge problem with like idiots yeah
Starting point is 00:11:32 but you gotta word it better but it's like dude this is just if you think you can go to the capital with some handguns and even some bombs and take over america and turn the election i mean you have to be a dumb person now i'm not saying you can be educated you could go to college you could have a nice job but like that is someone who does not possess critical thinking skills the fact that you can be like essentially they're everyone says this but like essentially they're a cult you know yeah and i think that goes to the merch thing too like it's it's like supporting your team you're like yeah we're all down here we're doing our thing for the uh for the like maga people you know like they're not actually gonna do anything uh like i know it took a while
Starting point is 00:12:24 for the national guard to get there, but if they actually wanted the full American military might behind them, they would have crushed them so fucking quickly. I know. Yeah, it's completely insane. And people like my dad's like, I don't know. I mean, they're deep in the military, and there's people that are ex-military that are in it, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:12:47 And there could actually be a revolution. I don't think there's enough of them. Yeah, there's a good amount, but no fucking way. Maybe. No fucking way. I don't think so. It's essentially like they're doing cosplay, right? They're like, I'm also a revolutionary.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And actually, well, I'm going to take off work to make sure I can get down to D.C. Got a pretty sick spot at the Holiday Inn. Me and the boys are going to dress up and we're going to play Storm the Capitol. Yeah, the revolution. Yes. The revolution starts with PTO. Yeah, exactly. you're submitting your form to your boss and it just says revolution yeah the revolution will be approved by your
Starting point is 00:13:36 supervisor nah oh no we're breaking up again. Oh, fucking Zoom. All right. All right. Let's pause. All right. Let's pause it. Fucking Zoom. All right.
Starting point is 00:13:51 We're back. We're here. Holy fuck. Guys. We're here. Listen, the deep state has been trying to shut down this podcast several times with Wi-Fi interference via Zoom for our very important and political podcast. If you guys have only knew the lengths we have been going through to record this podcast, this is the sixth attempt.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I was going to say there were short attempts, but still annoying for sure. You know what is worse, and it's worse like have we done this where we've finished recording or finished talking and realize we haven't recorded uh yeah that's the worst definitely dude i remember um when i would do like the solo podcast interviewing uh comedians that i was working with on weekends. One time I interviewed Jared Logan and I realized I didn't start the recorder and we were like 10 minutes in. And so I had to be like, yeah, so what was that thing we were talking about? Like trying to not let him know that I wasn't recording but to kind of repeat what he said oh my god and then there's been there were other times too where the sd card was full
Starting point is 00:15:11 and so you're like 45 minutes in and then you're like fuck it just stopped recording and you just lose the last 15 minutes and feel like the biggest asshole um god damn dude but yeah uh okay what were you talking about the revolution nancy pelosi yeah how we got to get rid of her what hey man she's got to go no i want her to forgive my student loans uh-huh uh-huh and then she can do whatever she wants it would be great if she's like a first order of business is is to forgive Umar Khan's student loans. Joe Biden gets behind it, too. It's a huge thing. Young man of color.
Starting point is 00:15:52 He deserves a chance. And we got to forgive his student loans. He's doing a good job. I think your Biden turned into Obama. I don't know why I sound like Barack Obama, but it's me, Joe Biden. And we got to take care of Omar Khan. He's making ribs and jerking off at home while he's working. So we got to take care of him.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Hell yeah, making ribs. We got to take care of him. Making ribs over an open fire, everybody. I love it. You're on your Joe Rogan shit. You're like a cave caveman you know except for hunting i went to giant uh my girlfriend's parents bought the bought all the fire pit grill stuff for us yes um yeah but except other than that and the not millions of dollars that i don't have. I'm like Joe Rogan.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Exactly like that. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. You had to hunt which ribs to get at Giant. You went in there. That's true. You snorted a line of Alpha Brain, and you were like, now I can see through the Matrix, you know? By the way, everybody, ribs are on crazy sale at Giant right now. I bought a whole rack of ribs for $8.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Which brings us to this week's sponsor, Rack of Ribs from Giant. Tell them the digression session sent you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's, I don't know. I was talking about this the other day with ribs. I've never cooked ribs. I don't think they're hard if you have a smoker, but I always hate... There's some foods that I just don't think are worth...
Starting point is 00:17:32 The effort. The effort, yeah. I don't want to make my own bao buns ever. I never want to do that. I never want to make my own dumplings. Yeah. Because all that shit requires so much prep you got to get all these especially if you're making like like you know like asian food or something like uh uh what's
Starting point is 00:17:53 the word exotic um i think i think you mean erotic excuse me where are your erotic your erotic foods i you have to go and buy all these special ingredients. And then sometimes you have to... I can't remember what I was making, but I had to buy a whole... They don't sell a little amount of miso paste. I had to buy this big yogurt tub of miso paste to literally use one tablespoon of it. And now it's just sitting in my fucking fridge karen won't let me throw it away i'm like we'll never use this again it's probably gonna expire by the
Starting point is 00:18:31 time we can get to use it yes and it's like uh uh here's a thing of fish sauce that'll be in the door for the rest of my life i'll probably die and this fish sauce will still be here yeah exactly so uh it's like that's like the i was just like should i do it because if i fuck it but then you're like oh they're eight bucks who cares if i fuck it up it's a yeah i that's that's how i feel about like homebrew people that get into making beer at home i'm like that takes like six weeks to do and then at the end of it you're like i hope it's as good as the beer i could buy for eight dollars down the street like yeah exactly just just go get it and then people are like oh i put cereal in this one so you have a hint i'm like
Starting point is 00:19:18 bro i don't taste i don't taste frosted flakes i I just taste fucking beer, man. It all tastes the same. Do you guys want to go down to the basement?

Starting point is 00:19:35 Dude, brewing beer used to be a thing that weird dads did, weird dads who needed a hobby. And they would just do it in their basement. And everyone was like oh what are you doing you're an idiot you're a loser yes yeah you know you're so less inclined to try that but it's like uh mr bill made his own beer and uh he made his own bottle caps and you're like ah get out of here give me a bud light but now we're like ew bud lights gross i want a craft brew.

I think craft breweries are like not anytime soon, but maybe like 30 years from now, we're going to have like all these abandoned craft breweries just like we have malls. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Yeah. Because the beer kick is not going to last that long. Everyone's getting healthier.

You know, like I wish I was. That's like when I'm so jealous of like Larry. I was going to say that's very Larry David to be like, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Yeah. And then just walk away and go. Nah. I'm like, yeah, I'm like, hey, man, the Chick-fil-A nuggets are getting cold. I'm going to go get some more. Nah, not for me. I want the nuggets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Yeah. I watched the game. So my dad came over and then his friend Warrenren who he's known since college he came over that was pretty fun um and he's just casually dropping like yeah when i was in prison uh i remember my roommate and i was like what like i knew i i think he went for like some tax stuff but it was very funny because he was saying he was like yeah so i kind of i the way i got like protection in there um he's like because he was i don't think he was in for very long and he's like and when people find out that you're
Starting point is 00:26:10 about to get out they try to fuck with you like you're called a like a short timer or something like that because you're almost out and he's like so when i was a short timer i had i had uh this uh my roommate i love that he said roommate instead instead of cellmate. You're in prison. You're like, my roommate at the time. It's college. When I was in prison, I had this roommate. Oh, my God. He was crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:33 But he was like this big Italian dude. And I would write letters for him back to his family. Because he wasn't very good at writing. So I would write letters. And then I got protection from him, like back to his family. He's like, because he wasn't very good at writing. He's like, so I would write letters. And then I got protection from him, which was great. But then this guy, he put $20 in my locker. This Aryan guy, because Warren's Jewish. He's like, this Aryan guy puts $20 in my locker and told the security about it.
Starting point is 00:26:59 I didn't know it was in there. And then I get caught for contraband. And they extended my sentence. Also, as far as like an Aryyan guy in prison to a jewish guy like that's what like the nicer things you can do like it's not like he like attacked him in the shower he's like oh i'm gonna put 20 in his locker and he should not have that he's gonna get in trouble damn dude yeah it's so funny when people like casually bring up this that's so perfect because it's like it happened to me uh this past weekend when i was featuring at mcgoobies uh so this is my first weekend featuring at mcgoobies brian regan was supposed to be there yeah uh i think everyone knows but if you don't know brian regan is like a huge comedian

Starting point is 00:30:17 I was like, oh, man, like they didn't have much time to promote. Yeah. Blah, blah, blah. Tony Woods is a legend, but he's not like famous yeah um and uh every show was packed um and like considering like social distance all that one of them were sold out yeah like and as far as they can go right so what are they at like half yeah half capacity half okay so like 150 ish people um and honestly like dude it's the laughs are huge it just felt like a normal weekend at a club except you're wearing a mask when you're in the
Starting point is 00:30:52 well i'm wearing a mask no one else gave a shit but right um so i get there uh the host i've never met but super funny guy baltimore guy he's uh his name is justo so funny i love like he dude he like he crushed every opening set which is really hard to do as yeah as a host yeah to yes as a host it's the bar is very high to like crush like usually you just want to get out of there to be like that was pretty good i got him loose got some solid laughs but like to kill uh hosting is hard oh he killed man he was so funny um that's great or he is so funny and so uh but there was there was a lot of weird little things happening like all weekend uh so like justo's first time hosting, he just won like Magoobie's funniest comedian of the year competition. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:31:50 So it was his first time hosting. And like that's one of the prizes you get for winning is you get a host weekend. And, you know, so it's his like first time. And I get it. Like some people just don't. This is, like, not throwing shade at Justo. We've all made these mistakes. It's just funny.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Like, when you think of comedy, you don't think of it as, like, a job. And now that we're, like, kind of considered, like, older comedians. Yeah. Because we're 30. 34. But sure. Go on. 34.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Go on. I'm sure. Go on. 34, I'm 32. Go on. You know, like, in your head, like, you know, this is a job. You have to act somewhat professional, blah, blah, blah. And I guess, like, just some people don't realize that. So, like, just so we were in the green room and the person comes to take our order. Hi, Karen. the green room and uh the person comes to take our order hi karen oh no the person comes in to like see like you know how much telling us how much time we're all doing what music you want blah blah blah yeah and uh the light all that the kids talking to him and then justo just takes a
Starting point is 00:33:00 a facetime call in the middle of this guy asking him like when he wants the light and all that stuff and i get it just so has a bunch of friends coming they're like in the parking lot they're trying to figure out how to get there so i under like he has like all these people hitting him up he's annoyed also but it was just so funny yeah and i'm sure he's like excited to have people there and shit too yeah to like take a call and then uh and then it's just like his homeboy on the line and he's just like hey man come outside we have a blunt blah blah blah and and just was like ah i'm good i'm good man i'm i'm just doing the show so like but it's just so it was just hilarious like it's just like watching this you're just like i'm cringing i'm like oh
Starting point is 00:33:45 dude you're so funny don't do this stuff yeah and then uh the so then tony woods comes and he brings uh he brings a guy with him who did a guest spot the first show on friday cool dude uh but he like i felt like he threw some shade at me and i didn't know like how to like like i didn't know what to say you didn't know so i was like you didn't know how to clap back is that what you're saying i well it wasn't like i didn't even know if he meant if he knew you know how like sometimes people say something and you're like oh yeah that just you you i don't think you realize, but you're putting me down. He's like, Omar, you're pretty cool for a gay guy. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Yeah. So we're talking and I'm like, oh, what's up, man? What's your name? Blah, blah, blah. And we're all – Yeah. And he's like, how long have you been doing it? I was like 10 years-ish.
Starting point is 00:34:43 And he's like, oh, yeah, I'm'm right there too i'm a little longer than that but um i had to take a i had to take a long break from like 90 from like 2000 2010 i was like oh damn that's a big break he's like no no man i was in prison and i was like okay i'm like that's still a break right like from he's like and he was just like no no i was excuse me okay sir all right yeah well i think he was he like trying to say he's like i would have been doing comedy and don't act like i'm some type of like slouch i wasn't lazy i was in prison yes show some respect yeah i don't think he wanted me to think he was like a bitch or anything he was just like no i didn't i didn't quit or i'm not a douche i didn't quit or anything uh yeah yeah but here's the thing uh you think you think i'm a bitch and i'm not i went to prison okay for making knockoff yeah knock i mean i was someone else's bitch in prison. I just told Karen's joke. She said that.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Wait, what'd she say? Karen said that when I was like, I'm not a bitch. And Karen said he was somebody's bitch in prison. Yeah, exactly. The whole podcast stopped. Bad connection for good jokes. I know. So then we're talking and I'm like oh cool so like you do normally like uh open up he's like yeah no i normally feature for
Starting point is 00:36:14 tony i go everywhere with him and i was like oh nice man i was like um surprised you're not featuring this or something and then the guy goes like he's like um oh i asked him i was like oh how um how do you think the first show went and the like the first show of the second night was they were like they were a fun crowd but they weren't as lively for any of us and and uh and he was like yeah man tony he just like he said he like he didn't think the crowd was feeling him and and he was just like man that's why i like you for me, because you know how to get them just right. And I'm like, OK, motherfucker, like, oh, why would you say that? That's like a mean thing to say.
Starting point is 00:36:55 So. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So and it sucks, too, because you're like, does Tony hate me? Yeah. And you're you're like, well, and then in my head i'm like but i'm doing very well like i'm like i'm doing well i'm like i'm i'm killing like i'm doing my job and the crowd's into it everyone's liking it and uh that it was just like it's just like and so when he says something like that i'm just like yeah okay cool yeah and that's another thing you realize like being deeper into comedy too it's like it's fun to be with the headliners and stuff and headliners are cool but and i get it from their perspective but they don't really want some guy they don't really know and i guess like
Starting point is 00:37:41 tony does know you but like they're never excited when a feature feature crushes you know they're like cool you know like all right now i have to do my job yeah or they just like they don't want to talk to you they don't like like it's just like uncomfortable like they like it's a comfort thing right so it's like it's just you'd rather have people you know you can say stuff in the green, you can say stuff in the green room, you can do stuff in the green room that it, you know, like. Yeah. Sometimes stuff happens in green rooms that's illegal. Yeah, you want to be comfy. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:38:18 So I get it. think maybe that guy was just saying like like it's just like a comfort blanket also for tony just like knowing like you know like um because i think tony woods is also kind of a very um he has a lot of anxiety and he's like superstitious so even though he's like a comedy legend dave chappelle gave him like a huge shout out when he got his like mark twain yeah award at the kennedy center he essentially said like tony woods taught me how to do comedy and if you watch tony woods and you watch chapelle you're like oh chapelle is doing tony woods basically yeah to the point where because i found found Tony Woods after Chappelle. And when I saw Tony Woods, I was like, who is this guy ripping Dave Chappelle off?
Starting point is 00:39:25 Right. and he's just doing like a like when he did my show or if he does like a another basement show in dc he doesn't want you to like list all his accolades so he'll he'll tell you to tell the crowd that this is his first time doing comedy first time yes first time this motherfucker has been doing comedy for 30 years if not more i was gonna say fucking three decades at least murders and then and then there's been nights where we're at big hunt i have to go on after a guy who the crowd just heard it's his first time like just like i mean destroys and then i have to go on uh they're like hey this guy has a free special on youtube or something you know and then uh you can't follow tony wood you just bomb and you're like oh wow this guy has a special on youtube and he sucks yeah they're like and he's been doing
Starting point is 00:40:18 comedy for 10 years so if the guy that hasn't that was his first time imagine how good this guy is going to be with 10 years of experience. It's Umar Khan. Yeah, yeah. You're like, ah, fuck. Yeah. God damn it. I know.
Starting point is 00:40:31 So funny. So I think maybe that's what he just, Tony, likes. It's just like maybe it's like a comfort. I don't know. It just fucking pissed me off. It fucking pissed me off. I was just like, there's no reason yep for you to say that there's just zero reason yeah uh but whatever yeah we get past it so then yeah
Starting point is 00:40:52 the host i've um so then me the guest spot are hanging out in the green room tony's on stage the host is like somewhere yeah uh this kid walks in this tall kid he's like hey what's up y'all i'm the i'm the opening act and we're amina the the tony's friend look at each other like the fuck yeah who are you he just came in with some weird energy a super nice guy uh like he is a nice guy i never met him before but he's cool he's just like man i'm just so grateful to be here for this opportunity to like open up this show and we're just like what then the host comes in and and and and the host is like it's his friend and he asked him to come here and the host is like oh dude you're not performing i just wanted you to tape my set and he's like what oh he's like man what like and then the he goes on this story about his like friend
Starting point is 00:41:54 just killed himself like blew his brains out he's like starts crying and it's like then the the the guest spot guy tony's friend just leaves because he knows it's about to get uncomfortable i get stuck on the couch and i'm like shit i can't leave in the middle like i can't just be like hey man real interesting story but uh don't care for it i'm gonna go eat some chicken nuggets you know yeah oh yeah so then the host was like realizing like he was spiraling so he took him in the hallway they're like i'm just eavesdropping on this like just insane conversation about this guy who his friend who killed himself he's fucked up over it he thought he was gonna be performing and it was
Starting point is 00:42:37 like putting him in a good mood and uh and i just want to be like hey man if it makes you feel anybody here better i'm featuring and I wish I wasn't here. So it's not that great. And I wish I was dead like your friend. Yeah. Yeah. But, hey, I'm going to go out there and kill it like your friend killed himself. You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:42:58 Hey, good talk, man. Hey, yeah, this guy's you should have been like, can you record my set while you're here? Would you mind? Yeah. Hey, yeah. Hey, man. Oh, and so the guy didn't even bring his camera, and he's like a really talented videographer and stuff. But I think...
Starting point is 00:43:14 And then the host, who I do trust, he was like, hey, man, I'm so sorry about that. He's not normally like this. He's just going through... I'm like, dude, I get it. His friend is dead. Of course. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Yeah. And then there was just a miscommunication but it was just like i'm just like man this is like i'm in a fucking sitcom yeah like this shit that's happening it's just so bizarre yeah uh and then um so then we we do the late show the late show is packed like so fun the late show. The late show is packed, like so fun. The best show of the night, which is always like the coolest thing. If like the last show of the weekend is the best show and everyone had their best set. Right. Well, almost everybody. And I'll tell you about that after. But I had a great set.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Justo had a great set. And yeah, then we just hung out, went to the bar afterwards. And I have antibodies, so I felt safe. The other people, I guess they just don't care about their lives. And it was fun. Yeah. Yeah. Either way, you were having fun.
Starting point is 00:44:23 If you had antibodies or not, or if you were passing or getting COVID, everybody was having fun. Yeah, it was fun. God damn. Well, that's good, man. I love it. Yeah, the indoor gigs make me nervous, but I think Magoobies is pretty spread out, especially when you're on stage. I mean, that ceiling is so high, too. Yeah, the stage is high. The stage is huge. You're far away. spread out like especially when you're on stage i mean that ceiling's so high yeah so that's the
Starting point is 00:44:45 stage is high the stage is huge you're far away all the tables are far away from each other and like huge ceiling so pretty safe yeah exactly i actually talked to a pin uh i talked to this pandemic expert about it uh who i met after a show at an outdoor show. And he was like, well, he was like, honestly, man, like if everyone if people are like six feet wear masks. Yeah. You know, when they're not like sitting at a table like sign shows like all that stuff helps.
