Starting point is 00:04:40 I think I do. I, yeah, I feel angry a lot. I'm very sensitive to feeling like people are like disrespecting me. I don't like it when other grown men touch me on the top of the head. Yeah, that's disrespectful, man. Also, my dad is shorter than me and like he's got it bad. Like he was in the military when he was young. He was one of those dudes that got tall in middle school and was probably mean to kids and then everybody got bigger than him So we just got fucking jacked shit. He's like one of those short
Starting point is 00:05:11 Jack dudes. Yeah, and Just a very pugnacious man vicious man Could be a little vicious. He's like I remember when my grandmother passed away and I was in Savannah for her funeral and his old friends were popping up there like your dad would you show up to my house? Knock on the door and try to fight me in the front. I was like what they're like He's just trying to fight motherfuckers If I have that I got a friend but I got taller later not tall but I didn't there wasn't a point in middle school where I was like
Starting point is 00:05:44 Just fucking other kids up. So yeah That confidence yeah, man at that age don't really know what's going on in their heads You know, you just see a kid throwing haymakers and you're like, yeah Like my dad could have been that guy like a butter bean type, you know I wish like at that age you kind of had like emotional intelligence. Oh, yeah, it's people people now man, you know, they don't even know, you know you see someone that's like Clinically depressed and you're like don't look so happy man. Yeah, it's like bro. Come on man, like You know, so that's how I try to be respectful around like shorter people
Starting point is 00:06:22 But I feel like it should be you know Like I don't like the short ones that just get mad automatically. No. No, it's a bad look I'm trying to work on not being as mad. I think I got mad lately I don't think I was always just mad but always very like Attuned to disrespect but it's the thing where you're just like so he disrespects me I'm gonna fuck him up, and then they do it you're like You're like Whatever yeah, so when you were like fat short, dude, and you had like titties and shit Mm-hmm did anyone ever like fuck with your tits and shit they in Boy Scouts. They gave me the nickname bosoms It's not that bad not terrible and the guy that gave me that nickname is a priest now Wow, yeah
Starting point is 00:07:05 You're thinking about going to the going to his location do the fucking throne thrown up. No Locations hilarious, you know fucking funny that would be There's always a moment where they give someone a chance to like either like make an announcement, you know, like Yeah, there's always like at my church. They let you speak out if someone passed away in your life Mm-hmm. So you that'd be funny if you raised your hand You know, and you're like I I got something to say you're like the old Michaels dead start fucking my own hand makers Yeah, I think I could rock your shit really Really? If I'm keeping it a buck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:46 In the, in church? I don't know if I, I'm still scared of church. Yeah, man, it is scary, dude, but if there's- I'd catch him outside. Really? Would you approach him by foot or like in the car? I'd approach him by foot. I would try to do it honorably
Starting point is 00:08:05 I think I would announce it in church. I'd say Tim the Dahl ski I'm a different guy and I'll see you outside and I'd let him shake hands But I would like stand out there and stare at him till he was done shaking Yeah, and then he probably try to walk up and say something like Hey, I know I know you're mad and then I'd say something like the time for talking is done. Yeah That's pretty intense man. Yeah, you think you'd strike fear into him. I I do yeah, I hope and if not I Guess that would rile me up a whole bunch. Yeah, and then I'd really be
Starting point is 00:08:44 Frothing at the mouth. You having flashbacks the whole fucking time To him calling me bosoms if I'm being honest We actually had a pretty good thing going on real we would do bits together before after or during During so it's kind of like mixed emotions. Yeah, I feel that man That's always how it goes, but he this guy burned me my first comedy CDs He burned me a bunch of Jeff Fox worthy CDs That I would listen to all the time. Wow, it was a really how do you burn a CD? Never burn a CD Johnny. It's like some old shit, right? That's old shit. Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:18 Yeah, you would burn CDs for me in elementary school. That's just like copying his current one and giving you like a... Yeah, it's like downloading the CD onto a computer and then you burn that whole CD onto a blank disc. Yeah. He was handing them out for free. Yeah, he was just hooking me up for the love of comedy. He was like, check this out. So it kind of, there was kind of like a payoff, I guess. Yeah. And I think at the time, bosoms didn't actually upset me. I think I took it in stride. Yeah, I think I was like that's fair Yeah, did I miss um, is there like a part of you that kind of misses being fat? No Because you are like a no homo like a good looking dude. You think so you think if you could go back

Edward Island a school called Johnson and Wales man. Sounds like a cool ass school Very laid-back man.

You ever go on like a field trip or anything They ever go on a field trip in school. Yeah, maybe like a sleepover or something, you know that vibe No in high school we did cuz I was in like I was I was I would do theater and we took it serious

Yeah. Yeah, those are good times. We had that man. We were in like a hotel and like The first time I'd ever been in New York City, man. We were in like a hotel Like the Hilton, I think it was mm-hmm

You know, did you have any like, in theater, do you have any like crushes? I had crushes, but I didn't. I didn't have my first kiss till I was like 18 because I was so short and fat Yeah, and it really put a put a hurtin on my confidence. I think so I had crushes, but it never materialized into Anything. Yeah When did you start doing theater?
Starting point is 00:33:21 When I was a kid my mom Um, when I was a kid, my mom sent me to like a theater camp at Georgia Tech back in Atlanta. Just something to do over the summer. And we did the final performance and my mom was like, you're good at this. And she just started like, and I enjoyed it. So she started putting me into these. They also sent me like a stand-up comedy summer camp Around that time too. Yeah, so I just started doing all that stuff as a kid. Did you feel like a little bit closeted? No, everybody Thought I was gay. So from a young age, I was really combing my spirit to be like am I?
Starting point is 00:34:00 Like i'm talking about it on stage now But I used to let my big cousins dress me up like a girl Like I'm talking about it on stage now, but I used to let my big cousins dress me up like a girl Well, cuz I thought that shit ripped.

Yeah, I'll talk to any guy That's pretty sick man start start quantifying it differently. Yes, you were like Emotionally open. Oh Take pride in it. Yeah, cuz it was like I Remember we were at one theater camp and we were still young Usually when you're really mean to kids that are gay and there was like one kid that had Two dads and another kid was making fun of him and we all went to his room like this is theater camp
Starting point is 00:35:11 We'll beat the shit out of you. Don't you get that? We're like you can't make fun of people for being gay here. Are we gonna rock your shit? Yeah, and then some chick just starts making out with you. Yeah, that's what you hope. Yeah, that's the hope Yeah, man, that's how I used to feel to feel when I used to wear my mom's tights. If she didn't stop me, dude, I probably would have gone full on thong. Dude, like I would have gone all the way, dude. I had to wear I had to dress like a woman for this season of the show. And I remember being like, you know, this rips.

You know yeah, if you came down with some nasty catches to dude I would love that yeah some dives some one-handed grabs dude where you like fall on the ground and like your fucking legs open up Yep That did make me say that couple grabs dude where you like fall on the ground and like your fucking legs open up. Yep. That did make me slightly uncomfortable. I pushed right through it. No, no man. Come on. This is what would happen. I haven't thrown a football since the pandemic.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Really? Yeah. Me and my roommate used to just go out and fucking rip passes. He was D1 dude. We got to meet up man. He was D1. I used to fucking throw Hail Marys in the Dollar Tree parking lot dude. They had lights set up and stuff, man. I'd get high as tits and just start throwing fucking like 50 yard fucking. Throwing bombs, dude. Bombs, dude. Junior size football, man.
Starting point is 00:37:14 You could really rip those. Yeah. I did notice the disparity in our throwing ability. The D1, my roommate could really rip it and I would have to, I started kicking it. But I got really good at kicking it. Yeah, if I couldn't hit matches distance for throw I fucking rip a kick. Yeah, I could really as long as you're not moving in, you know what I mean? Yeah, don't want to move in. Yeah, dude one time I did edibles with this kid and I could tell he wasn't really on board
Starting point is 00:37:43 So I go I'm like dude you trying to toss the skin man and it's like 20 degrees. He's like I guess man, you could tell he was just upset. I was like oh dude if we toss the skin man, it's gonna bring him back. You know we're gonna have a time of our life man man So I'm like super positive and he's just like he wants to fucking kill himself, dude I throw an absolute bomb So adamant about catching this ball bro, he's running his fucking dick off bro, dude, he fucking runs towards a block of ice Take off, bro. Dude, he fucking runs towards a block of ice. Full speed fucking slips and like bashes his head like.
Starting point is 00:38:39 And he was like he was panicking mad. He was like, dude, I'm fucking done. I was like I was laughing so hard hard dude, but it was just like, it was such a slow occurrence man. You know what I mean? Like I just feel like, if you're gonna run a route bro, know where you're running. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, especially if it's a deep route, you know, like that would be like an NFL player just running into the fucking post. fell player just run into the fucking post. It was so slow but so funny. Was this in Rhode Island? Yeah dude. I started meditating. For real? Yeah bro. In the morning? Morning and then you do it again in the afternoon. You watching like Bang Bust or like what are you watching? I'm trying not to watch any of it. Yeah, I used to watch my just use my mind now
Starting point is 00:39:32 Yeah, yeah, what about you you get angry you ever scrap You're never scrapped man, I've never thrown hands But yeah, man as of late I've been getting a little angry And I don't know how to deal with it man. I think it's living in this city starts to make you angry I've been here six years, and it's made me incrementally angrier Yeah, man I don't know man. I think there's just something deep inside of me. That's like I Still have that dog in me, dude. dog in me dude you know and like you play sports
Starting point is 00:40:06 now I was like a theater kid I was undersized so I never but do you know what it's like to like touch another man in what respect either in a homosexual way or non homosexual yes I'm familiar like lay hands on another man I know this feeling I mean I feel like as you get older man like you have no opportunities to just fucking crack someone's dick you know that's why people get into what you do pick up basketball there's also jujitsu is very popular now yeah you do that wrestle around I think it's just I just think about shit like Just like past experiences like being fat and stuff like do you ever think about that stuff and get angry or like when I was fat you think about like people made fun of you when you were fat and stuff and like I
Starting point is 00:40:59 think back to a couple experiences and I I use it as Fuel to be like if they could see me now. Yeah. One of those things. Yeah I get mad when people think they know who I am and they haven't like given me an opportunity to like show who I am you know. Can you give me an example? How do you mean? I do a lot of stand up and like sometimes afterwards I feel good because I'm like dude I finally feel like I can be myself around these people in front of these people and sometimes people are like oh like so that's like a bit right?
Starting point is 00:41:41 And that makes me want to like just start throwing uppercuts dude. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like literally just start fucking swinging at people until I fucking pass out Well, I'm saying yeah stand up will make you angry too because you're just subject to everybody's opinion Fucks yeah, they want to give your opinion their opinion about what you do and you're just like man. Shut the fuck up Yeah, dude. What the fuck do you it makes me think about other celebrities? I think people have to deal with that and like every level like Michael Jordan had to deal with people being like You know, you really fucked up during that game And you're like who the fuck are you like that would be fine if someone was like you really bombed out there I'd be like that's fair
Starting point is 00:42:26 I'm glad maybe I did But if someone was like you're not being yourself I would fucking I see you know yeah like I would just because I put so much energy into like Trying to be a genuine dude. Yeah for someone to be like oh, this is like a a bit right? Yeah. Like you're playing a character. I just want to fucking you know, but I've never scrapped dude, I've always I've always wanted to strike fear into another man. But I just feel like for me that would involve I'd probably do like a combination of something like religious and homosexual. You
Starting point is 00:43:04 know, how do you mean? Like I think I would like whip out my left nut and scream. I fear God homie like at the top my lungs Just to like scare that guy away. Yeah, like strike fear into him cuz I would really fucking throw him off Yeah, you know, it's like a weapon Yeah, maybe like a dildo or ifo fight a 12 inch dildo take that out Now i'm now see here's where my head goes you have the dildo and then you unsheath a knife from the dildo ball handle Unsheathe the knife you go because everyone's laughing when you take out a dildo and then you go watch this
Starting point is 00:43:41 You guys want to see a fucking magic trick? You go your move pal. Yeah. Yeah Wow I've always wanted to do a thing Where somebody's being disrespectful and I just look at them and I lightly smack them in the face I go, how do you feel about that? I think that's cool. Yeah, that's kind of scary dude. Honestly, how do you feel about I don't know what I would do No, you know, yeah, but I do think about if I did do that Like if I whipped out my left nut and screamed I fear God homie
Starting point is 00:44:11 If I got knocked out after that, I mean that would be it for me That is the one that's the that's the balancing thought is you're like, yeah, it would be cool to do that But then somebody just rocks your shit. Yeah shit and the cops are like asking questions to witnesses They're like yeah, you just like whipped out his left. No people saw it. Yeah. Yeah now they've logged it Now it's in a file because I mean you see it all the time if you go to a bar Do you like I've seen dudes get knocked out in front of their girlfriends and have you? Yeah, dude, what brought that on what happened? I think they started a yeah Like yo, why you looking at my fucking girl dude, and then like usually the guy who's looking is like a fucking Navy SEAL like assassin. He doesn't care dude
Starting point is 00:44:49 He's looking at titties like yeah. Yeah, so I go look at whatever the fuck I want dude And then just like I've seen dudes get fucking one punch, and I'm just like Jesus man. Yeah, Jesus I mean, that's yeah, that's that's the nightmare. Yeah, that's the big fear, but I just feel man like Like something inside of me, you know, it's just like I'm like a man dude I need to like I'm not trying to feel like a pussy anymore, dude. I'm trying to like Strike fear into another man. Maybe just like wrestle with him. Even if it's naked dude You know, yeah because afterwards I know we'd feel better man go go uh go do a jiu-jitsu thing or a wrestling thing is that what you're doing the box
Starting point is 00:45:36 yeah you're doing the jiu-jitsu yeah tell me dude how do you how do you feel afterwards though you feel good because there's guys you win against and there's guys that beat you And there's a lot of skill involved So it's like guys it makes you look at the world different because there's guys you don't think look Like anything and they're just very good at it. Obviously, it's not the whole spectrum of fighting It's not none of them are throwing punches, but yeah, you could also do boxing. That's fun Yeah, I used to I used to throw hands with this dude, man. He was like an actual mixed martial artist.
Starting point is 00:46:14 And I'd throw him $40, and he'd just show me stuff, hold the pads for me. Oh, for real? I would do that on Friday mornings, man. And the amount of stress it relieved, dude, I just felt so good, man. And yeah, I'd be laughing sometimes too because I'm like not that serious yeah dude but the days when you're angry dude it's just like go yeah go keep training somewhere you're in queens man there's got to be some good gyms yeah I mean I don't have the money or
Starting point is 00:46:39 anything like that but it's that was cool because I could find a guy who could just show me shit and it was just us out there Dude, there was during the pandemic. There was a guy in my neighborhood Who would train people and so I worked with him a couple times. I mean just dudes from the neighborhood I got I mean I got my eardrum pop once like I just took a shot to the fucking ear But then during that I met this other dude kev who was mad cool to like the train stuff so we just started training together like so we would just like Respectfully throw hands. Yeah park Wow, and then we found a space in Bushwick that you can rent out for like 30 bucks an hour with like some bags in there. You're like boxing. Yeah, or just throwing bare hands
Starting point is 00:47:22 bucks an hour with like some bags in there. You're like boxing? Yeah. Or just throwing bare hands? We were boxing. So we had gloves and some head gear, and we would just scrap on each other. And it was cool. I don't know where he is now.
Starting point is 00:47:34 We trained together for a hot minute. You think you passed away? No, no. He got married. There was one day we trained together where I just felt like I was having a heart attack or something and I seemed I Think I seemed weak in that moment. I was like I feel awful and I never saw him again after that Wow. Do you miss him dude?
Starting point is 00:47:57 Sometimes I want to text him be like, you know, let's let's train. Oh, yeah, but we we started training this other gym. That was cool in Bushwick where the Serrano sisters trained so we were watching Them train. Yeah, we trained and I remember once we got in the ring and we were just doing what we do We just move around and tag each other up and this dude from the Bronx Like an old trainer. He's all punchy, you know, he's not all there He's like, can I talk to you all for a minute and we're like yeah he goes I gotta tell you y'all look terrible man y'all in there you look bad man bad like he yeah for like 15 minutes and then at
Starting point is 00:48:38 the end I was like damn Kev I guess look bad and he was like motherfucker doesn't know shit yeah and I was like cool and then I wished I was more like Kevin Yeah, where I didn't care so much what people sounds like a good man, dude. He was mad cool I should text him. Yeah, yo, let's throw it back. Let's train. He's gonna rain a partner Yeah, we did that. We did that in my Asian friends garage once Yeah, his his family like a head they had a sick like two car garage. We set up those exercise mats like the blue ones. And he had a he had a
Starting point is 00:49:15 stereo system like a subwoofer dude. So we just started blasting music. And first round I was boxing like my Guatemalan friend dude, and beat him and then Yeah, I had a throw hands with my Asian friend. Mm-hmm You know, I was tapping him up a little bit. I was about to win dude, and then he puts his fucking Arm over his eyes and just starts swinging like crazy And I turn around dude, and he hits me in the back of the head.
Starting point is 00:49:46 No! And I don't know what it is about getting hit in the back of the head, dude. It's illegal. Dude, I just fucking, my body shut down. Yeah, you're not supposed to lie. It's really bad. I was like, yeah, I tapped out, man.
Starting point is 00:49:56 He beat me. He like recorded the whole thing, too. Holy shit. I think he probably jerks off to that video, dude, to this day. I mean, I would. Just knowing that he took me down, dude I trained at this other place in Atlanta and
Starting point is 00:50:08 I had this teacher Germaine and He was he was a good teacher, but he was still new so sometimes they'll do wild shit box He just put me in the ring With this kid from like zone six like I still follow him on Instagram. It's just like him with his pistol just like It's it's the area in Project something like that and I'm not actually totally clear what it is and Hughes like is his first day here boxing
Starting point is 00:50:47 So I just wanted to take it as hard to him as he goes to you and we started boxing this dude Uppercuts the shit out of me and almost knocks me out and then I'm like, oh shit And he uppercuts me again like both times. I'm dazed and I was like this is More than I bargained for but anyway, we dazed and I was like, this is more than I bargained for. But anyway, we kept going and it was fine. But I was like, I got to be more careful. I can't just be eating tiny concussions. Do you feel like when you get angry though, have you been scrapping?
Starting point is 00:51:18 Like, do you just fight people or like what's going on? No, I had one thing that happened recently that I thought like, cause I feel like if you are like that, you're just asking for your shit to get rocked. Like I never wanted, but there was one time, it was weird because I've done some of that training and stuff and you know, you think you're tough but then stuff comes to you and you're like never mind, sorry. You know, generally you don't want to fight, it sucks it you can get hurt but then I was walking in this bar in Vancouver at like 2 a.m. And I'm there's these two guys at bars like anybody sitting here
Starting point is 00:51:55 They go you are now and I sit down and this guy comes up because you have some on your shirt And I looked down and he flicked my nose and without thinking I smacked him in the face. And then his friend came up and was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And they broke it up and then we had a couple beers. But I was like, don't do that. You don't just like touch a stranger because then they can touch you back.
Starting point is 00:52:19 But I definitely, I like went home after that and I couldn't sleep for like three hours. I was so keyed up. I just laid in bed, just like, what the fuck? You got that dog in you, dude. But that's the thing. No, man, cause it's like that happens and then you talk about it
Starting point is 00:52:34 and I feel like you're just asking for the universe to like humble you. You know what I mean? For something else to happen. So it's like, you never want to feel like you're that guy. Cause I think at my core, I'm not, there's guys that are that guy There's guys that are really that guy when push comes to shove and I'm like I was just like baked and a guy
Starting point is 00:52:57 Flicked my nose and I smacked him in the face. Yeah, those guys that are those guys like the truly Like the badass dudes like Jocko welling and stuff they'll always say like, don't fight, dude. Like just fucking last resort, like fucking run if you have to. So that's what I'm saying, dude. If I get into one of those situations where someone's like, yo, let's fucking go. I'm just going to be as random as I possibly can. That's probably good. Yeah. It also helps if like things are on your side.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Like if it's a fight that's been brought to you. Yeah. But it's like you can't get out of it and now it's happening. That's when you're like, well okay. Now I can really be myself. Now you can really. All these thoughts that I have. You can like unleash because you have to. It's gonna kick in. You're gonna have to do whatever you can. Well I'm just saying like all those immature thoughts I have on a day-to-day basis like they can finally come out, you know your balls out Be like yo who's trying to get fucking jerked off? You know, yeah, that's when you do it Yeah, when you have no choice, but you really have to let it out. Otherwise you go. Hey, I Don't want I don't want this. Yeah, I'm sorry. I also have like
Starting point is 00:54:01 Can I run some about you? if uh say hypothetically dude, like, we're like, I don't know you or whatever. And I just give you a little smack on the face and we're about to throw down. If I made out with you, would you kind of like call it quits? No. Really? You'd still be, you'd be fucking. No, I'd, I'd kiss back and it would be like one of those things where you like it would be like hot and then I'd pull your face away Oh shit, and then I go
Starting point is 00:54:32 Wow, yeah, I kiss back to throw you and then push you away like yeah. Oh Shit. Yeah, that's pretty sick. Yeah, right. Yeah, I think about that Sometimes like how people would react like how gay do you have to be to truly scare someone away? I feel like there's just like levels to it But what if your attacker is gay? I guess you're just having sex then do I'd rather have anal then get fucking killed. That's fair Yeah, a little bit anal never hurt anyone dude. Oh, you know, no but I think that's the best bet man, just saying like random shit and
Starting point is 00:55:10 Nobody ever talks about like dude how much it sucks to get punched in the face either It hurts a lot honestly dude like if ever you're like I probably let someone punch me in the face First so that they like break their hand I It's pretty likely man. I got drunk once and I asked a friend to punch me in the face as hard as he could. Yeah. And I stuck my chin out and he knocked me out. Why would you do that?
Starting point is 00:55:35 I don't know man. It was that anger thing being younger and like wanting to be like, I'm a tough guy. Cause I was like a fat theater kid and I was like, no, no, I'm tough. And this dude just rocks my shit. Yeah, damn dude. So fucking retarded. I know it's really stupid Yeah, so I'm trying not to be I'm trying not to fake being like a tough. Yeah, so the comedy is what led to the acting It wasn't the other way around. I mean, I just I did my mom got me into both when I was a kid But I just I like did theater in high school
Starting point is 00:56:07 And then I got to college and I started doing stand-up and at the time it seemed like standards were like we do stand-up We're not actors, and I was like yeah, so I just leaned into Stand-up, I didn't really do acting for like if you still had like Experience under your belt yeah, and I like doing it. I love it. It's so much fun. You're on like a TV show, right? What type of role are you playing? I play like a doofy, sweet guy.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Yeah. Doofy, sweet, new guy that's like real positive and chipper. How does it work? Like you, how does the whole process work? What, for like acting? Yeah, like doing the show, like is what goes into it? Oh man is like a lot of work Yeah, it's like it's like long days longer days than you think. It's waking up super early it's like staying there for like at least 12 hours, sometimes more and When you're done, you have to commit to learning the lines for the next day.
Starting point is 00:57:05 So it's like, because they shoot the show for cheap. We shoot one episode in four and a half days, but they break you into sort of two or three episode chunks. So you're shooting all those episodes at the same time. So you have to, the best thing to do for memorizing lines is you read all the scripts and then you read them again so they're sort of in your head and then Read them again just just to really familiarize yourself and then you memorize them
Starting point is 00:57:35 Like the day before or two days before Yeah, have you ever forgotten lines? Yeah, but nothing like egregious. Yeah, nothing crazy. Is it because you care so much? What do you mean? Like if you if you fuck up your lines, like are they just gonna cut you? No, because you can improv some stuff, but it's like you don't want to be the guy that's not doing his job. You have a pretty clear-cut job and while you're there, like so many other people are working long hours, longer hours than you are. Yeah. They don't get to relax like the actors get to relax so much is going in to getting everything set up before you're there And people are working crazy hours and if you're the guy that's making the day drag It's just a bad look then you're just not you're not a good co-worker at that point
Starting point is 00:58:19 Yeah, you know what I mean? Cuz I got a lot of people talk about how like they'll be like, yeah Like I got this pilot or whatever and like most of the time it doesn't air. Yeah. So like, are they saying that they actually like filmed it and it didn't get funding or are they saying like there was never anything from the start? They filmed it. They got funding to film it. Somebody put up the money to film one episode and then they shopped it around. Like nobody would buy it. Or they showed it to whoever funded it
Starting point is 00:58:47 and people were like, we're not gonna go forward with this show. Oh shit, and that's usually what happens? Apparently, but I got lucky. The show I got on, they had already bought like a first season. So there's other stuff that goes into it where it's like, sometimes it's like a production company
Starting point is 00:59:02 that makes the show and then sells it to the network or a network will make a show and sell it to another network. I'm not like totally sure how the whole thing works, but this show in particular, the network itself was funding it. There was no other source. It was like they put up the money, it's their show. So they're like, we're gonna do one season of this.
Starting point is 00:59:21 And the guys that produced it are old TV guys. They've been working in Hollywood for a long time They know how to make a TV show work That's pretty sick. Yeah, so I really lucked out and like you you feel like Like that's what you want to do Hmm, like it's not really like work for you. It's kind of like I love this shit Is I mean it's work in some aspects, but dude, it's like yeah, I love that shit I feel so lucky to get to do it.
Starting point is 00:59:47 In some aspects, in a lot of aspects, it feels easier than standup. Because standup is just you generating it and making everything happen. That, it's like, they give you a script, you can add to it if you want, you can make it your own and have fun within it, but it's like, they're like, show up at this time,
Starting point is 01:00:04 we're gonna feed you, everybody's gonna be really nice to you they're really nice to you yeah if you're the actor there everybody's just like it's pretty sick man it's I mean it's it's pretty awesome seasonal thing like how long do you film and then how long of a break do you have it just depends like we did the first season and then the strike happened so then it was like I guess not and then we did the second season and then the strike happened. So then it was like, I guess not. And then we did the second season and we knew we were gonna get to do the third season already. So it was like, we knew we were doing the second season
Starting point is 01:00:31 in winter and then the third season in the summer. And now the third season's airing and we don't even know if we're gonna do a fourth season yet. We're not gonna know till like March or April. So like for like the second season per se, how long did that take to film? Like out of the year, how many months out of the year? Are you working?
Starting point is 01:00:49 Two to three months, three months. And then the rest of the months you can just do like stand up? Yeah, or fuck off. Yeah. I like fuck off a little bit. Fucking jerk off and shit. Yeah. I did some traveling.
Starting point is 01:00:58 That's pretty sick. Blew some money. Yeah. Went to Mexico, tried to learn to surf. Yeah. Not worth it. Damn, dude. Are you like, you still work on your own stuff?
Starting point is 01:01:09 My own stand up? Yeah. No, like your own, obviously you work on your own stand up, but I just mean like your own sketches and stuff. Yeah, but I work again when I'm doing sketches, I feel like, I don't know. I don't love writing so much. I need to get better about doing it.
Starting point is 01:01:24 But a lot of the sketches I do are just other people being like, let's try this. And I'm like, I don't know, I don't love writing so much. I need to get better about doing it, but a lot of the sketches I do are just other people being like, let's try this, and I'm like, cool. Or it's like an improvised sketch, where you just show up and you start working, but it's all done with a dude, Keegan Tindall. I mean, I do sketches with that dude, and it's like, he knows how to set it up, he edits everything, he knows which ideas are good
Starting point is 01:01:43 to run with, or I'll work with like a lot early on and we'll be more collaborative but Or like Harris Alterman. I'll just jump it on his shit. Yeah, you know what I mean? All right, so Yeah, I'm trying to make more sketches But the ideas I have are so retarded that no one else is on board But I know in my heart that they're good good idea. Do you have an idea in mind that you can throw at me right now? Yeah, dude, I might put it out soon.
Starting point is 01:02:08 You can be in it if you want. I would love to. I love doing sketches. Yeah, man, like the idea is, takes place in an Applebee's parking lot, and it's about dudes who peel out in Applebee's parking lots, and every engine rev is like a flashback to like a failed
Starting point is 01:02:29 marriage. So that's kind of like the whole idea. Does that make sense? Yeah, I like it. You know, so it's like an engine rev and then a flashback to like some dude's wife leaving him like because of how small his penis is. And he's thinking about that every engine rev. So in between that, are you basically shooting a documentary style?
Starting point is 01:02:49 Like, yeah, I've been peeling out of these Applebee's for a couple years now. It's all like a biography of my life. And then it revs. And then the punch line is I actually have a news report of a guy who drove through an Applebee's. So that's the punch. Like I have an a news report of a guy who drove through an Applebee's mm-hmm So that's the punch like I have an actual news report. I can just put like my mugshot over it You have a mugshot. I mean I can get one dude. I don't have a LinkedIn picture. Yeah But it high thing behind it yeah, man. She like that you know
Starting point is 01:03:19 Yeah, just like too retarded for people to get on board with it's not at all. What are you talking about? I mean, I don't know. People are just not invested in it, man. You got cameras, dude. Do it yourself, man. I'll let it rip, dude. Let it rip. I'll let you know how it goes, man.
