I love doing a stupid show again.
We did it, Brett.
Hey, it's back.
We made it.
The goofball show is back.
The people, they demanded it.
And they were calling for it again, like, hey, what happened to the goofball show?
And we're like, hey, we're back, baby.
And by people, me and you.
Yeah, yeah.
How do we figure out how we and you can just be stupid idiots together?
We're people too.
And I'm not forcing you to do movie news anymore.
although
I have a movie to talk about with you
but that we'll save that
we'll say that we should or just jump in
I was saying though before I will get into it
I was like I mentioned this in a live show
I will say this so when I brought it up in a live show
we were bringing the goofballs back and I
and I played the intro people were pretty excited
about it but I
it just shows you like because Luke
who's been producing on the show for a little while now
completely understands what this show is because I was telling him, you know,
hey, we're going to cover some stuff today too.
And it's just not movie stuff.
We just, we'll talk about whatever because we're going to do the, the do's and the
don'ts of when you're starting a YouTube channel and how the ups and downs,
the things that you have decided and things of that.
But then he goes, you want to cover the fact that there's people throwing dildos on
WNBA to court?
I was like, yes.
Yeah, so we need to do that.
Just in.
Yeah.
And there were lots of things that we cover that we can't do in a live show.
There we go.
Oh, yeah.
I've got it too.
I've got the same ailment.
Do I look really just weird with no beard?
It's just not.
It's jarring.
Yeah, why'd you do that?
You're not going to believe this, but my wife didn't like me looking like Colonel Sanders.
I loved your beard.
You look at Siernaud de Bergerac.
Absolutely loved it myself.
The only problem was, and this was I was going to talk about,
we had a work function where we went and saw,
they rented out a theater for her job,
and we saw a 2001 Space Odyssey,
and she said,
you will not meet the people that I work with for the first time
looking like Colonel Sanders.
So, yeah,
all right, here's my question.
And you can,
you can move on if you don't want to discuss this,
and I understand.
But are you getting a lot of the sex these days?
not so much so I don't think this is maybe weird
yeah that's my that's my that's my that's my thoughts
that's my opinion on the matter
but I got to tread lightly right and this is very personal
and I don't know if my uh no my wife wouldn't mind because she wants to bring
awareness to it my wife is going through periomenopause
oh what does that mean for people like me it means that your wife no longer
likes you at all.
That you are a burden.
You're a burden.
To leave the house.
Yeah.
Everything you do will annoy them.
It's wrong.
Right.
In more ways than normal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's and again, you know, when I say bring awareness, like this is, this isn't anything she had,
she'd heard about menopause, but she'd never heard about Perry.
It's like the pre- hell that you go through.
Like,
Bring her on, bring her on. Let's talk about it.
Yeah. Come on, honey.
What actually happens?
Like, you get headaches?
What is it?
It's brain fog and just, yeah, they're just not feeling well and just irritated by things.
And it's basically your body transitioning from being a baby maker to no longer, you know.
And it's really quite, and again, you know, down with the patriarchy.
If this was a male problem, we'd have every sort of fix for it.
But this, because it's a female thing, they're just kind of like, well, you know, it's just going to be a little rough for you.
You know, I'll tell you.
I was, in general, like, I can't even pretend to fathom it.
I try, like, even when my, because my oldest and one of my wife, when they're on their periods, I try to be out of the house.
I don't want to be able to.
Oh, yeah. Just beat it.
I'm out.
Yeah, and more ways, I'm out of there.
I'm just out of there.
I can't I can't do it.
So well, yeah, sorry.
So you're not so, but I still, but that doesn't change the fact that I get it.
I don't think that you should have shaved your, you shouldn't.
It brings conversation.
It does.
And but the big thing with me is I've never, and she, she would have been fine if I didn't shave it.
Like, it wasn't like, you're, and she goes, I'd prefer if you shaved it.
And I've always been a compliant husband, especially when, um, my wife.
is going through a horrible, horrible transition.
You can't, that you really can't win arguments
with no matter what you do.
Oh, no, no, no.
You can't.
But if you would have said, no, I think I'm going to keep it.
She would have been fine with it.
Yeah.
Maybe she'd want it to be little trimmed.
This was the thing she didn't like so much was the little wop, the flowers.
Are you going to bring it back?
I would love to.
I would love to.
But the funny thing is completely shaved.
And then she goes, ooh, could you just grow out the beard a little
bit. I'm like, I can't. Do you have a picture of it?
Of the one I had it before. The, the, you know, to Bergerac one. Oh, yeah, it's, uh,
what on the video? All right. So here's the, by the way, so we've given, so we've been talking a lot
about it's only way that we got Brett to do the shows. I told my promoters channel.
No way. No, but I do want to, look at 870 subscribers. So good.
Yeah. Yeah, well, it looks. Okay, here it is. This is the one here. Yeah. I got to tell you,
I like,
hold on a second.
Turn it down a second.
I like what we got going on here.
Yeah.
I really do.
I like,
like,
look at this.
Like,
this is,
this is solid stuff.
This is a conversation starter.
I like me,
it's great.
And you look like you should be listening
to these records.
Of course.
This guy,
and honestly,
I wanted to keep it and shoot some more.
And she's like,
if you need to shoot more and you like having it for your show,
go ahead.
So it's again,
when,
when,
when that's the thing with our relationship is like she knows she'll get her way if she doesn't
like come at me like you're shaving it she's like you know if that's your choice honey
he thinks she's full of shit he's like look I should this is what my face should look like
yeah looking I'm ready to do some pack it's so good it's great and I forgot that I forgot that I
kept it the whole time I was at your place too. Oh yeah, for sure. So yeah, it was great.
It was a second you got up the you got off the, oh, hold on. That's what I did wrong.
Okay. Still figuring this shit out. But yeah, so, okay, so you shave your face, you go to the, did, so
when you went to the thing, was it a nice, was it a nice event? It was a nice theater. It's called
I pick, I think is what I said. Oh, yeah. That's one you asked me if I had been to.
Yeah, it was a cool dining thing, and the whole place was renting out to everybody at her work.
And I honestly, I was like, have I seen this film?
Have I seen 2001 of Space Odyssey?
And I realized that, no, I had seen two little things and montages during the Grammys and things like that.
And the Grammys?
Isn't that the music one?
Yeah, Grammys is the music one.
What were you talking about?
Awesome.
You just let that go too.
I was like, because I was queuing up the next video.
But that's, you know, I, that's why we don't, again, I'm not going to, I'm not going to correct your mistake on this one.
So yeah, what did you think about the movie?
I thought it was horribly slow.
I thought it was beautiful.
And I mean, for the time, like, I'm, I'm sure people were like blown away.
way by this dialogue-wise it's it's not very good at all I'm very confused I mean I'm with like
genius engineers that work for at my wife's company that are all scratching their head like
what was what's the obelisk what's how did he see himself in the end and the thing and the whole thing
with how which I thought was going to be an interesting AI you know battle between man and
AI and it just it it's just like he goes you can't come in he goes I'm going to go this way
he goes ha good luck with that and he actually gets in don't shut me off and he shuts him off
and it's done I don't remember yeah okay so you saw that movie get back and that was what
two days ago um yeah that was on Monday yeah I went to the beach on on Sunday which was nice
went to the beach uh so there's I mean
I mean, there's a few that are close to me.
Jones Beach is near me, but then there's Lido Beach, which is where we went.
And that was really, and I met my family out there.
We walked around, went to the waves where I was really beautiful here.
It was really nice.
I got sunburn, though.
I mean, I don't know if you could see it.
Yeah.
Sunburn, a real sunburn.
I went to the beach as well on this last weekend and burned like one side of my leg,
just the way I was sitting.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'm not a reapplier.
I'm a child of the 70s
when we just put like coconut oil on our bodies.
Yeah.
We went to the page.
It's the same.
It's like,
well,
that was the thing I came.
I had this.
I'm like sneaking.
I'm like sneaking tanning stuff because my wife is so,
she's so,
the way she's like,
don't use that stuff because she was a,
like a makeup artist.
And she did in the tanning place.
She's like,
you're going to use the natural stuff.
and all that she can't use that that's the you're just like you know on the sopranos right and my
buddy my buddy got me this tanning stuff it's called the sicilian oh nice i lathered up on it and i'm like
and i come i come back home after putting it on there because i was trying to like i was trying to
like mask the sunburn and try to get you know and i come back she goes what's that smell who you've
been around i go nobody
I doused myself in this dang slop.
Two days in a row.
She's like, do you stink?
My oldest is like, oh my God, what is that?
Come on.
Trying to look, it looks better.
Yeah.
It looks better.
Yeah.
I remember my mom had a copper tone SBF 5 that she would wear it.
It was like, I mean, barely any sort of protection.
Yeah, nothing at all.
So, yeah, so we went, we went there.
I took my youngest to a birthday party.
And I don't know, kids' birthday parties, man.
Because that was the other thing is that so, my wife was like,
she was like, she was doing, you were here.
She was, she was, they're not in camp.
So she was she was constantly with the kids, right?
So she's like, I need a break.
You got to take her to the party.
And I'm like, I don't know anybody at this party.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know the parents.
She's like,
so I was like,
I'm not getting an argument about it.
I'm just going to go.
So I take the little one with me.
And I'm like,
she's going to play with her friends and I'll just,
whatever they have pizza,
whatever it is.
I'll just eat it and check my emails.
My little one gets her.
She's,
she's, I don't know these people.
But you don't,
You don't know any of these people?
I'm like,
it's your party.
She's like,
some of these kids.
I know some of these kids.
She's like,
but I don't know any,
a lot of these kids,
I don't know.
And she's like,
I want to go home.
I'm like,
you want to go home.
We just showed up.
I can't like eat these people's food and then this leave.
I'm like,
can't do that.
And so she,
so finally,
I can know where I can see the wheels turning in her head.
And she goes,
I can do this.
And she goes and she jumps in the pool.
She's playing with everybody.
And then she's fine.
But at one time,
this video and I'm recording her
because it's showing my wife like hey
she's doing good now
Maisie who you know you know
the big personality she looks at me
she's sitting on this raft bread and she goes like she sees me
filming her she goes
it's the best
yeah she warmed up to you finally
when you were here oh yeah no
I deep down I know Maisie
really enjoys me
and because you know I'm always goofing
around with her and stuff and
And she gets me the stink guy, but like she's always wanting to be around me too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
And even, even Vivy was like, because as I was leaving, like goes, hey, I bet you guys are going to miss Uncle Brett.
Yeah.
And they, and it was like, bye, Brad.
Yeah.
She said something.
She said something that, at least when Brett was here, she said something like that.
I can't remember what she was.
She said something like that.
I can't remember what it was. Either way.
But the other things that, you know, me and you have been doing a lot.
And we're going to get, I wouldn't get into like the, as I said, the do's and the don'ts.
But you should do anything.
And I'll get to that.
But you got to understand what Brett and I do all the time is that how many times do we send
each other reels?
It's two, three days.
There's so many different.
I mean, some of them I can't show anybody.
Some, like, we, the variety of stuff that we send each other.
And we always find, like, one that is, like,
becomes like the hit between the two of us.
Like I think that the one I didn't realize was so old when you,
when you came here a year ago, whenever it was, they were like,
one pound fee, you and I were singing that.
And apparently that was that's been around for like years, right?
Two old assholes just about it.
I think we, you and I discovered something.
I know it's been around, but I think we discovered it because I don't see a lot of people
talking about it.
I love it.
I love you.
I love you.
So I'm going to play this for everybody.
And if you haven't seen it, you're in for a real treat.
You are for a real treat.
What I'm about to show you guys.
Oh, this is the one?
Is this the one?
Hold on.
That's the kind of mustache I want to have, too.
And that's it.
Okay.
All right.
So I'm going to play this for everybody.
Okay.
I love you.
You're the man.
Moonwalk.
Moonwalk.
Moonwalk.
Michael, Monwalk.
Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson.
They're behind him.
Michael Jackson, it's not really.
It just teaches not really doing anything.
The move.
The moves is so good.
There's another.
There's like we watch so many of those, you and I.
There's one,
there's another one that's really great that we can show later.
People like,
we'll show it on the next show.
But it's like the one where,
and then there's like,
there's like,
there's like a whole crew of them.
I don't know what's going on in that house,
but there's like a whole crew of them.
And they're like,
they're always like,
they're pranking each other and beating the shit out of each other and like
slapping each other with stuff.
And then that guy every single time.
Like there's like the one guy who's like running the whole thing,
clearly.
Yeah,
the guy behind the camera and he's like,
I love you and he's like,
I love you.
And then they go and they do this whole thing.
And there's one that's great.
The guy slaps, they tape up like the entire house and craziness.
It's like watching a naked gun movie.
It's really great.
So anyway.
My other favorite, and I'm sure you've seen them, is the, it's like the police chief giving the announcement kind of thing.
He's like, listen, if you don't put your shopping cart,
back after you, you know, you're going to jail.
But it's, it's more ridiculous and fun than that.
But it's an AI thing that's going around that I find it pretty funny.
I, yeah, send that to me.
The other AI thing I think everybody has been aware of is the, um, the Bigfoot AI.
I've sent you that one, right?
I don't know.
I've sent you the Bigfoot ones.
You never just haven't checked.
But like, it's like, it's like really inappropriate jokes that, that, um,
Bigfoot, like, tells and like, I got to say, I, like, you've had to.
they're so they're so good oh they're so good you have to you have you got to see it um so yeah so
we send that and then like i think the amount of stuff that we send each other all the damn time is um
could definitely get us in trouble
that's no that's no no no no doubt you know i mean we're getting some workout tips
yep i know that's good that's good that's good that's
That's it.
So anyway, we, that guy, the other things, that's what we just.
If you have Reels guys out there, the things that you, that you think Brett and I would
enjoy that we should be looking at, you know, that's going to be said, we're still trying
to figure out exactly like this, this show, by the way, for people who are wondering,
what even the purposes of this show, we have no idea.
No.
We don't, no.
It's just going to, it really is just me and him talking about these types of things.
We might have, like, one topic that we're going to discuss.
I know that we talked about Brett for like home improvement stuff that the things like he he came in to New York and stayed with me for like a week and worked on a bunch of stuff at my place.
And I was like that's that's like a full episode of stuff, the things that he does and home improvement stuff and those things.
He's like when it comes to that, like you could hit me in the head with, you can hit someone in the head with a hammer.
They still know more about home improvement stuff than I would.
I'm I am useless.
I know it.
And if Sarah says the same thing, I'm used to.
And it's not like, it's not like one of these things where like, it's like, oh, why don't you try.
My brain doesn't function.
You don't understand that.
And my wife doesn't understand that.
It's not, it's not a matter of wanting to do.
If I want, do you understand how badly I would want to do what you are able to do?
I just, my brain doesn't work that way in the same way that doesn't work for other people,
certain things that, whatever it might be.
And I try.
And it's like, oh, you can, you can't, you can't figure out how to do this.
I'm like, no, my brain.
Some people are good at science, some people are good at math, some people are good at language.
But I am, I am not good at that.
I really wish I was. I wish I could take a class and learn it.
That's what I want to do.
I'm going to start teaching people online.
And I think there is a fear to stuff like that too.
And I grab my kids.
Like if I'm fixing a toilet or something, I grab them and I go, hey, guys, come in here.
I want to show you how easy this is to fix or, you know, putting on a door knob or something.
Yeah, there are certain things.
like, yeah, it was calling it. Like, there are certain times that you just get intimidated by things when I couldn't.
Like, for example, like, Brett, there was like smoke alarms we were putting up. And I'm like, and I'm like,
oh, okay, what do I do? I'm like, oh, he's put screws into the wall. Yeah. That's all it was.
I wasn't sure there was like wiring. And that's when it comes to the electrical and all that. So I'm like,
he's got to put screws in the wall. You know that. It's just, yeah, so like little things.
But it's hilarious because my wife was like, well, Brett was here. We could have done that.
and say you want to put a lock on the door.
I'm like, yeah, we have two kids, and I like my wife.
I'm all for it.
Yeah, that was, I, as soon as she said, she goes, yeah,
Christian would really like a lock on the bedroom door.
And I was like, oh, drop everything.
Drop everything.
Because you understand.
You get it.
I'm not going through that thing yet that your wife's going through.
He's like, if you don't have time, I'm like, I got time.
I just won't do the.
See?
That's what.
That's what they call on the force as a wingman.
Yeah.
As a wingman.
As a wingman, ladies and gentlemen.
You know, the other thing, I found some of the old schools.
I was going through the old, you know,
I found like the old graphics for the goofball show and the intro and all that.
I found some of the old music.
I found the Charles DiStefano music.
I found all that stuff.
I found all the old school, the auction stuff.
So I want to get, because here's,
also what's going to happen on this show as I was saying Brett and I will go into the home improvement
stuff next week and and talk about that but I can also tell that both the moods that Brett and I are
right now we're in conversational mode sometimes the two of us get into those modes that you've seen
whether it's the Santa Claus mode or the Mrs. Garrett or the Rob Zombie thing you're going to have
moments like that too we just don't know when you're going to get those because we they're not
pretty you can't predict them you can't predict it's a switch they go off and
It just happens.
It's like sloppy ass.
It's sloppy ass.
It happens.
It's a big sloppy ass.
It happens sometimes.
It was fine 10 minutes ago.
Now it's, I mean, you know, wait five minutes.
It's sloppy.
It's a big fucking sloppy ass.
It's not sloppy anymore.
It's a sloppy ass.
The sloppy ass.
It's like,
What happened to that?
It's slappy ass syndrome.
Oh, it's the worst.
It's the absolute fucking worst.
There are some places in Guam, they tried to fix it, but they just couldn't do it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just, people flying to Turkey to get it done.
Yeah, it's true.
It's true.
Yeah, they banned it in the stage.
You can't get sloppy ass anymore.
So that's what we're going to do here.
Let's get to the, the basic.
of what this show is today anyway at least i think what it is what you did movie news let's get the
movie news now that's uh that's monday through friday yeah if you tuned in here to the to get uh movie news
uh there's there's one there's two things i can say one you're fucked uh two we're sorry because
yeah this is that's not what i told as i was telling luke though too this is the text that i gave
luke this one you'll love this i wish i should bring it up um and um it was it was telling him about
the show itself
well essentially
what I said to him was
I was like look we're putting the goof
goofball shows back on there
between me me and Brett
because I want to cover
we both want to kind of cover stuff
that's not just movie stuff
and go to shoot the shit
and I go I really hope that it breaks out
and becomes like a really big hit
on the channel I said but realistically
they're probably like 3,000 news
yeah
but I don't care
yeah yeah I really don't care
do you know when we did our first episode of goofballs
do you remember how long ago it was
got two years
2021
oh my god
first episode of guppol's this that's why this is
essentially this is essentially number one
the new one
I know we did it and we there was
like that's that's why I want to do this show again
do you know the amount of crazy shit that happened when it was just me and you
doing shows like the flouse
um
all that crazy stuff that that was insane for people who are newer the channel
we were during the pandemic
Brett and I were on the air day where we're doing SCN live.
That's why you see in the intro.
I left it in there,
the nostalgia purposes of the SCN flag.
But when Brett and I were doing that show,
it was right through the pandemic.
It was before everything shut down.
And it was before you couldn't be in a room with somebody.
Remember you weren't allowed to be in a room anyway?
It just kind of started.
We're like, let's just sit.
We sat far enough away from each other,
but we're still in the same room.
and everybody was losing their minds in general because everybody was kind of cooped up in their in their places.
And I think what happened is I was shaving my head or I was cutting my hair short and I shaved it too.
And then I just said, you know what?
And I shaved the whole thing and my whole family was terrified.
Mr.
clean head.
It was.
Yeah.
It was.
It was like almost.
Why that's my forehead.
More or less.
But I had my hat on and you didn't see it.
So you came in and you noticed kind of like the sides.
And then when I did the flip up, you look, oh.
Yeah.
And you said, I'm going to do it too.
And then you left the tuft.
And Brett left a little tuft of hair on his head.
And I don't know why, but I think that morning that you were coming in, I said, look,
I don't know why, but I want you to pretend you're a German pop superstar names
the flirt and flouse.
Yeah.
Without missing a beat, no questions.
Brett just goes, okay.
Yeah, let's do it.
not
what a lot of people
would say
wait what do you mean
like what what do you like what
like what and it just
because you know me so well
that you were just like I get
let's do this
let's do it and it was trending on Twitter
that was such a weird time too
because but I think
I think there were people
are like what do you guys do in shows together
but it's like both of our families
immediately stopping around people
and we had already been around each other.
So it's like we had, we were,
what would they call those little groups
that you would open up your,
you know, like when things,
they said, oh, you can hang out with families
and start to open up.
Oh, right, right, right.
Hold on.
So the, um, oh, we kind of just did it from the,
go because we're like, well, you're not going anywhere.
I'm not going anywhere, you know.
So, you know, and we were both the most extreme
careful people like, oh, we need to
stay home neither of our families went anywhere and then it got to a point where they said no you can't
even be around but we we were in that weird limbo of like i think we're what we're doing is okay
we're we're not seeing other people so right and then just an pure chaos came about so that was so
we that bit happened and then once we were able to start doing um things for it started coming for
s en and then there were like my and i'll tell you my favorite moments on the show was like when we went we would go
off book, if you will, and we were talking about, like, Mrs. Garrett from Facts of Life,
or talking about Panicott being, you know, a deviant, and all these, and the Peg Boys and all
these different things that were happening. And I was like, we, it's, it was, it's harder to do that
virtually when it's, when it's other people on the call. Yeah. Just me and you talking, those
moments can happen because we're because I assume I don't want to speak for you but like when we're
talking about movie news and stuff you're waiting to get something in there and if you get a joke you're
like okay but then we're going to move on pretty quick we can't really sit in the moment because then you
feel like the person it's it's different if it's just the energy is the street people sitting in a room
and me and you're going back and forth with each other and the other person you can feel their
laughter you still feel like they're in on it when it's virtual they feel like you just they're
just like sitting there waiting for you to finish the joke right right because it can't be
they can't necessarily be part of it.
You're like, are you hating us right now?
And or you're not paying attention to them.
And that's even worse for them.
So that's why I don't know.
I don't even know how I thought about it the other day.
And I was just like, yeah, I don't, I don't really care about,
I don't care about the views.
I really, I really don't.
I just, I feel like if people, you know, people want to come in and they want to see,
like this is, this is, I think this is kind of like a nice refreshing show for people.
And Luke was saying the same thing, too.
He's like, just people use.
shooting the shit. And I wanted one podcast
on the show where, because I've
always said it's like it is the Christian-Tarlov channel
and it's not, and it,
I've been doing movie news and movie things
for so long and I love doing it, but it's
like it's not the
only thing that I wanted to do on this channel.
So that's why I'm glad that we're doing.
And the quality is good on this too.
Where are you? You're in your, and you're in your
living room and I have a, yeah, wireless mic
that I hooked up to a little
roadcaster thing. And this is
this is the camera I gave
Roxy
but I want to get you for when you do
something at home. It's
a 4K really nice
what do you call it? WebCam.
Yeah, it's a really good web cam.
But you got to, again, you got to do the lighting.
I mean, I've got natural light coming in.
Are you natural light? Yeah, so that's the thing.
I mean, lighting is so much better now
here, right? It's like, and
the other thing that I'm happy about this show is that I can do I can't do it in a live show,
but I've been adding this like this filter to the reactions and to my down-to-earth stuff that it just
this looks so much more clean. I sent you that that footage, right?
Yeah.
Filter and it just looks really clean.
So the things are looking good so far.
And let's get into what we talked about, though.
The whole reason we're going to talk about, like I said, the kind of the do's and the don'ts of starting a YouTube channel.
what what I I and it's not me kind of giving lessons this is more so going to really come with
Brett because Brett is um brett's been talking it's been working on his channel and so I'll tell you
the the banner is really good Luke was talking about how good he likes your thumbnails awesome yeah
that's my friend edith yeah or they call her edit but her real name is adit uh she's actually
a pretty big deal in Hungary.
She does those
for me and has been really helpful
as far as that, created my logo.
Yeah, it's really good.
Yeah. The only thing like I was said,
would say, like, you want to make sure, like,
is, oh, I see, well, what,
let me ask you a question. Why is the font
different from My Music Monday, episode 10?
Why, like, so like, my music Monday is
yellow, is orange in that one,
but yet it's like I would you know why why isn't my music Monday blue and yeah I don't I don't
know I that and that's the new you can see the first one on the top their episode six was the way
we were doing it before but she like yeah yeah she was like uh the background's a little too busy
yeah yeah we're still we're still trying to be around a little bit yeah I like it though
episode 10 one looks really good but so what would you say has been the biggest kind of learning things
struggling as far as over let's start with this go back and not why did you just start in the
first place that you wanted to start you um i i honestly again i started this channel in 2009
uh when that's a year after youtube i think came about um never really used it i was going to do a daddy
vlog okay that somebody which i probably would be a millionaire by now because nobody else was
being like a stay-at-home dad but i was just too busy being a stay-at-home
dad um but i did it because i wanted to just have my own thing i'm part of other people's shows other
people's channels and i honestly said to you like i i want to do this i don't care about the views
i just want to have something that has my name on it and and the second part was like i i really
enjoy listening to these goofy albums and i'm i'm having fun right like just grabbing one off the
shelf and going, man, why have I never listened to this?
And then going, oh, that music's pretty dear good.
I like that's different. I like that, you know, that you're doing.
I said, and similar to what I was just talking about with myself, I like the fact that you're
calling the Brett Sheridan channel and not the final thing.
Because then you're not, you can expand towards it and do more because I really think
that you should be doing home improvement stuff on that channel because like Brett's so good
at that stuff like and like give like little tips. That type of stuff blows up.
And I think that whatever you're doing, whether it's the album stuff or whatever,
you're getting people more of a glimpse into what you like and what you enjoy doing, you know.
It's basically, yeah, and the DIY stuff, it's basically what people on these shows,
me doing shows for you have said, Brad, I'd watch you doing blank.
I'd watch you show in home improvement or, you know, even, you know, just like get opening boxes of stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's been it's been super super fun and people have been very responsive.
And of course, you know, it's it's mostly, you know, my Christian Harlow fans that are in there watching things and being commenting all the time.
And we're having good discussions about albums and music.
And it's it's been fun.
Yeah.
So I'm trying to do something before.
I'm going to let it this part.
Why is I?
No, it's not working anymore.
My perfect day has sand, salt water, and friends.
But my moderate to severe plaquesoriasis can take me out of the moment.
Now I'm all in with clearer skin thanks to Sky Rizzi.
Rizzen Kizumat Rizza, a prescription only 150 milligram injection for adults who are candidates for systemic or phototherapy.
With Sky Rizzi, most people saw 90% clearer skin and many were even 100% plaque-free at four months.
Skyrizi is just four doses a year after two starter doses.
Don't use if allergic to Skyrizy.
Serious allergic reactions, increased infections, or lower ability to fight them may occur.
Before treatment get checked for infections and tuberculosis,
tell your doctor about any flu-like symptoms or vaccines.
Thanks to Skyrizzi, there's nothing on my skin.
And that means everything.
Ask your doctor about Skyrizzi, the number one dermatologist prescribed biologic in psoriasis.
Visit Skyrizzi.com or call 1866 Skyrizzi to learn more.
This is that one?
I messed with it.
That's what.
All right.
So if you look at, again, Brett's channel over here.
So if you go to video, let's see.
What's the most popular right now?
Most popular.
Okay.
Was the first one that I'm like my intro video.
Intro, which would make sense.
People want to check out what it is.
Plus you have it running on the channel at all time.
So the first one really is back to school with a beat.
The Aussie one, I told you.
Yeah.
Told you.
And then here's why I don't do two shows a week.
The one you shot from your phone.
40 seconds.
No production value.
It's short content.
But so what would you say that you've kind of learned so far from doing the channel,
what's important?
What have you been learning about it?
What did you learn that you didn't know about kind of going into it that you were
kind of surprised about?
Well, the biggest thing is that I thought, I was like, again, I had no aspirations of getting, like, making lots of money from it.
But I didn't realize how far away I am from making money, because you have to have like 4,000 hours viewing hours at this point and 1,000 followers.
And I think I have about 150 viewing hours so far.
That's why I say that's, I'm telling you, dude, do those home improvement things.
Because those type of the final vinyl ones that I think will come in time.
But like the home improvement ones, you can find one of those videos that pops.
Yeah.
You really could.
You could find me.
I got lucky with the clips channel because the clips channel, I had started that one from scratch.
And then I had Mark Paul Gossler on and I had a saved by the bell clip that popped.
And then all the hours and subscribers kind of came with that particular thing.
but that's that that one channel um there are and and the other channels i i've always had that's i
always kind of had older channels that i've built upon right like so for example um like the old
s cn clips channel or whatever i turn that into um i think one of the sien live one might
actually been what sarah's channel is now i think so yeah yeah i gave sarah that channel i think
it was it had like a thousand subscribers or something already on it so he didn't
have to go through that process i just gave that to him but that's not that's not that's not
that's not that easy you got to build it up and you got to you got to do some things to it but
the home improvement thing man if you're building out a um a desk or whatever next time you do
something like you re but what was the last thing you did at your house that you were putting together
um well i repaired my dryer before i came to visit you that was a whole weekend project i should
have set up the camera for that um but there's little things that i you know to just just
tell people how the sausages made,
I may tear off some handles on my doors just to reinstall them,
you know, just to show you how he's been putting a door in.
Yes, 100%.
You can do that and you can put together two to five minute video on that,
and that's the type of stuff and that's going to pop.
But people always ask, you know, as far as starting the YouTube channel,
if I'm telling someone, the first thing that I will always tell them
is the consistency of it, right?
And Brett was really good about it.
Brett was almost, because Brett can get very,
very um um kind of ocd almost about it right when it comes to do you have ocd i i i'd never
diagnosed but i do i'm pretty sure i have at least a mild if i could yeah i don't say probably so
but i think that's also probably but it's also there's certain things like that it's probably
part of your superpower right i mean that's that's that's some of the things that like because
because of that's probably why you're so good at putting together some of this stuff too because
every little because when you're putting together stuff and doing you have to have so much
attention to detail.
Oh, yeah.
What you're doing.
So, like, me, I can be like,
ah, I don't need to do that.
Next thing, the whole thing falls apart.
Like putting,
building my background and getting the, you know,
and Adit put together my,
my overlays.
And I was like, can you make it so the left and right are the equal
distance between the top, like little things like that?
Yeah.
And I'm like, I'm sorry to be annoying.
She's like, no, no, you know what you want.
Specific.
It's specific.
And so that's why.
consistency is so important.
Like posting, if you're starting out,
I told Steph the same thing.
Make sure if you're going to start,
if you're going to tell your audience that you're doing Tuesdays and Thursdays,
yeah,
do Tuesdays and Thursdays.
And if you can't,
just let them know.
Like, for example,
we thought,
we thought that we weren't going to be able to do the show five days a week at the time,
but at the new time.
But,
so I was going to say,
look, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday is going to be at 9 a.m.
PST, but Tuesdays will still be,
at 12, but it turns out, or 11 rather,
but it turns out that we're actually going to be able to do the morning shows now at that time.
So, but,
but I got to tell the audience so they know because they're used to a certain thing.
And then people have schedules and like, oh, okay, well,
or they have other things that they watch.
And they're going, oh, okay, well, I have this.
Oh, Brett, that's right.
Brett's usually, usually there's a new video on Tuesday.
So go check that out or this and the notifications and all that.
It's like, that's the other thing I tell people make sure.
It doesn't matter if you have a million subscribers.
or seven subscribers talk to them all of the time answer them have conversations with them
and listen to them too now not everybody's going to have things that you're going to agree with
um and it but it's a matter of like okay oh well they like when i do this like and you might like
and that's the other reason i told you about to experiment with uh with with the home improvement
stuff because maybe you start putting those out there and you might get like hey i i like these
I don't like these as much.
I like these.
I wish you would do more of these.
And ask your audience that stuff.
And I'm just talking to you.
I'm just talking to people in general.
Like it's,
and I was always telling stuff to the same thing that you do stuff now that you're kind of throwing things against the wall.
And a year from now,
you'll look and go,
oh,
I don't like any of those videos that I'm out.
It's like stand up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Think about when you were doing,
what was the first time you did,
you did stand up?
How old were you?
I mean,
what year was it?
97.
That was the first.
time you did it. Yeah, yeah. And then so, and you remember like you, you would do it and then you look
back probably and then in, in 98. Oh, I cringe. Right. Crinch of the stuff I talked about.
And you thought you were hilarious in 97. And then 98, you're like, that's terrible.
Right. Same. Absolutely same. I watched. There's a clip that I saw recently that from when I,
when I first went to Luna Park, it was a clip. Do you remember when I did the leg drop off
the stage? Yeah. You might have been filming that video. I thought it was the funniest thing in the
world is I was like, oh my God. How did people have you met you on stage?
all that stuff.
Anyway,
and that's the other thing.
I want to tell more comedy.
You and I've been through the comedy stories and everything.
I mean,
so Brett and I went to San Francisco one time.
You ever told this story in great detail?
I mean,
I'm sure we have,
but.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think.
Not in detail.
So this is,
this is kind of how this went down.
At the time,
I was a regular at the comedy store.
And I was performing quite often.
And then I was talking with Barry Katz,
legendary kind of comedy manager and we're chatting and he's like listen um last comic standing
is doing the stuff at the improv at uh in in on melrose so you should go i was like okay
i'm going to go so i told brett said look we're going to go let's go to this audition and let's
let's go see if we can make something happen so we get to melrose improv and please chime in bret
with anything that I forget.
It was, this is 20 some odd years ago,
so I'm sure I'm gonna leave stuff out of it.
We get to, no, and the line is around the block.
Well, and as much as we were go-getters at the time,
there's no way we were getting there at two in the morning.
I think we showed up around 6 a.m.,
which we got was super early.
Did we get there that early?
Six or seven, and it was already all the way around.
This is the Melrose one, right?
So we go to, so we go to Melrose.
Rose in in Hollywood and and where and so it's looped around the block and we're waiting there and
you got to understand you're getting some of the hackiest comedians that you're ever going to
see on this line and all they're doing is telling the worst jokes it it's enough to make you
just quit and go work at the nearest store that that is there and so you listen you know what it was it was
brutal and brett and i would make each other laugh and do what we're talking to people and we
saw tons of people there that we knew.
Oh, yeah. It was like, it was like a festival almost, but just with no food and everybody
pissing themselves, basically. Yeah, we took breaks to go to the bathroom. Then you walk and see
somebody and they'd be like, oh, yeah, I'm way up here. Where did we go to the bathroom?
Was it that, that, that, what's that Frederick? It was some clothing store.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Frederick's Hollywood. Right. It was right there. Right. Yeah, yeah. That's where,
God, that kind of stuff. So we, all right, so the story basically goes, where,
Let's say Brett's right, and he very well might be that we were there at six in the morning.
So come eight o'clock at night, something along those lines, we get to the very front of the line.
It was pretty close.
14, 15.
Yeah, I mean, it was a long, yeah.
Right.
They say, it's it.
We're shutting it down for the night.
No more people in.
We could see the front door.
Right.
So this is where Brett gets mad at me.
So I go, unbelievable. So you know, I got to do I'm going to call Barry Katz.
So I call Barry Katz, Mary's like, well, there's one in San Francisco.
Was it the next day or was it a couple days later?
Oh, no, it was next. Like, we, it was a quick turn.
It was within the next couple of days.
Yeah.
It must, it must have been a couple because I had a set at the comedy store and that's
why I couldn't go right away.
It was on Saturday. Let's say it was Thursday. The audition was on Saturday.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm like, well, I got a set at the store.
And so I'm like, but he's like, listen, if you come to San Francisco, and San Francisco is a six-hour drive, give or take from Los Angeles.
Yeah.
So if you come to San Francisco, I'll get you in there.
You don't have to wait in the line.
So I go, great.
And I'm so happy.
And I go, and I tell Brett what I just told you guys.
And he goes, let me ask you a question.
Why didn't you call into this one?
I don't remember my answer, but I don't think I had a good one.
Did I have an answer?
It was just kind of like, yeah, it would have been a good plan.
I think that maybe is that I didn't want to rely on and to do it.
You weren't ready to pull that card because you thought we'd get in and it'd be more organic.
You know, because we were having a fun time being a part of the line.
And I guess we didn't think that we wouldn't get in.
Yeah, yeah.
There was no part of me that was like, oh, we're not going to get an audition.
Right.
So we just figured we would get in and we didn't get in.
So and this is like, so people are going to be asking what season of this?
This must have been, this was either the season, Eliza won or the season before.
Must have been before because I was not with, yeah, it was before.
It was before because this must have been season.
If she was, what did she win?
Season three?
This was, I think this was season two.
Yeah.
It could have won or two.
I don't, I honestly, it hadn't been around along.
No, it wasn't, no, no.
It was either, it definitely wasn't three because, because Eliza won,
let me see when, if I'm pretty sure she won season three.
Let me see.
When did Eliza win last comeback?
She won, she went in 28.
So what season was that?
What one's what season?
2008 is what she won.
What season?
She won season.
Hold on,
hold on.
Six season.
Oh my God.
So yeah,
this was,
this was,
this was,
it wasn't even,
it must have been,
it was earlier than that,
dude.
It was like,
it was way earlier than that.
Yeah.
Were you?
I'm trying to.
It was one of the first three seasons.
Yeah.
I don't know if it wasn't,
but it,
if the show was,
knew it was probably like second and third season yes maybe like 2004 2005 right something along
those lines well i was yeah because i got to make a regular a comedy store 2000 and yeah and if i was
gonna 2005 2006 that sounds of her right um yeah that's probably around the same um so anyway
we there and there was i did call that card when it came to san francisco because i said there's no
freaking way I'm going to drive and wait on the line this happens to us again like ever um so i go okay
brett you're we're gonna take this drive he's like yeah we can get in he's like yeah we're gonna
get in he's gonna get us and we'll definitely get it uh as barry was always true to his word and it was
always good to me so i was like yeah barry says he's gonna get us in he's gonna get us in
so i'm okay but i have i can't leave right because i have a spot at the comedy store night
it was a friday night it was like a park night it was a mait was a oar spot and it was like
Yeah.
Sold out room.
And do you remember who I went up right after?
Of course I do.
Joe Rogan.
Who was right after Rogan.
And at that point, I was in a good enough spot.
And this was a confidence thing for me too, because Rogan, and he was up for like an hour.
Yeah.
Right?
Easy.
Maybe more.
It was a, he really had the crowd and he really took him for a right.
He did.
And I was like, okay.
And a younger, and a version of me before I was in the comedy store, I would be like, oh, my God.
What am I going to do?
Like, this guy just went up for an hour.
I remember, and you can tell me if I'm wrong,
but I remember I had a pretty good set.
No, it was great.
I mean, it was a lot later than I had to anticipate it.
Same.
Like, I think, like, I was, that's the other thing.
I think I was supposed to go up at like 10 o'clock.
Yeah.
Or 10.15 is when I was slated to go up.
But then, you know, Joe went up for a bit.
And he always did.
He was there.
He was there.
This is before them and way before them and see his stuff went down.
Oh, yeah.
And so he was like going up.
He was there all the damn.
time and he was great and um but he went up and did an hour so i don't think i went up until 1145
maybe 12 um but it was a packed room it was a really good set i was fired up i was like let's go
and then um we i get off and you're like let's go and so instead of leaving l.a to go to san francisco
at 10 o'clock at night we left at like 12 and so my dad traffic was great
traffic was great that's true traffic was great and we got through and
five and a half hour drive to San Francisco.
And my dad gets us a room at a Marriott.
He was like, he had Marriott.
It was great.
We were there for what, 30 minutes?
Yeah.
Something like that.
It was what my buddy calls a disco nap where you just kind of lay down for,
and you're like, oh, we got to go.
We had to be there the minute they opened.
The minute it opened up.
We were there for like a split second.
So I remember closing my eyes and we got, oh, we got to leave.
So here we are on no sleep.
And now we're like, we get to this place.
We get to the improv.
It was the improv, right?
It was another.
I think so.
Yeah, another one.
We get to the improv in San Francisco.
And I call Barry.
He's like, you guys are good.
You said, I don't think we waited very long at all.
I think we went in, right?
He's like, you guys are good.
Just give me a day, know you're coming.
You're good.
They're going to let you in.
So we blow past the line.
I think a couple of people said something to us, but I don't remember.
I went in first.
So I go in first.
And I'm, and again,
this remember this is me 12 hours from this great set i just had the comedy store in front of a
packed room going after rogan feeling like i'm on top of the world so here i am now to this audition
in front of three people in the packed room i couldn't even tell you a single joke that i did i just
remember going i hate everything about where i am right now i hate this so much so brett
minute and a half. They give us a minute and a half. Yeah. And, and I adjust on 15 minutes the night before

Do you remember Paul DeAngelo?
Mm-hmm.
Paul was like my mentor in comedy.
He was an older kind of seasoned comic who at that point, I think he moved back to Boston.
And I remember calling him while we were in the car.
I don't know if you remember that, but I, I, because I, you drove us, you drove, you drove,
you started the journey back.
Yeah.
And he, and I was on the phone with him.
And he's like, don't, why I just come back to LA?
Don't worry about it.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
He's like, it says like, they set you have to fail at those things.
and that and that was and that was it but i would just remember that whole trip going like that because
that's that was the that that literally was the ups and downs of comedy i mean it really was because
like you're on a high that night going like i said fallen rogan and in a packed room and i'm like
okay yeah this is my home like the comedy store is where i'm supposed to be i had people i mean remember
we were leaving like everybody was like coming up to me and stuff and i'm going and i'm and you're like
we got to go yeah
And it was, and, and I was like, this is great.
And you take that mentality into going into the last comic standing in front of two people.
And I did not get a, he likes you, but I, but I'm not.
They both did not like me.
And so that was a, that was, and I never even, and I think that's sourd us because we didn't even attempt,
we never attempted to go back, right?
Oh, no, no, that was just like, how do you even do this?
And we also saw a lot of the behind the scenes bullshit.
Like they, they would, if there was a guy in a banana costume, they would polling him when we waited in line.
And I will stand by this.
I guarantee the person who is first in line for any of these type of competitions is the worst singer, the worst comedian, the worst whatever they're standing.
Because nobody with talent has that much motivation.
to get to get there better early, it's true.
It's true.
And it was like, it was a good, it was a fun experience.
It was good hanging out with you too.
We had like, you know, it was one of the adventures that we had, but like, oh, God.
I think that that we, we probably could have put on a show of us in that line.
Like that line was just, we were killing the people around us.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was fun.
It was good.
It's, and it's so funny.
Like, do you know the amount of footage and things that you would have got like today?
like today.
Oh,
all the viral phones and everything,
too.
Like the,
the,
the bits,
no,
that's a show all in itself.
Just people standing around there, too.
I wonder,
like,
I think they tried to revise that show a couple different times,
but like,
the company seems to just change so dramatically.
Yeah.
Yeah,
so,
I don't know.
Um,
I think we did,
I think we did show one.
A couple good stories.
Talked about,
like,
what,
uh,
what to do on,
on the YouTubes.
Talked about,
um,
premenopause.
What's it?
Peri menopause.
Manipause.
Very menopause.
And again, I just want to point out, I am not trying to belittle my, I'm trying to tell men out there, this is something that is like, it's, it's, you'll have to deal with it.
And it's hard on them.
It's a horrible thing.
Their whole body is just, like, attacking them.
Let's see.
Why are you being scared to your wife?
Don't be scared.
I just a little scared.
Don't be scared.
She loves you.
I think so.
She love me? Look at those, isn't it?
She either loves me or doesn't ever want me to breathe ever.
Oh, well, let me smell your breath.
That's the wrong side, motherfucker.
Well, that's weird. For me, it's the opposite.
So you're over here.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Your breast stinks.
It does.
Yeah. All right. Well, this.
Oh, yeah. You want to hold them?
I guess if I
Yeah, all right.
I'll get it.
We have good conversations.
I'll talk to a little bit more crazy Brett when Brian he shows up.
You're too nice.
You're too nice, Brett.
It's the facial hair.
It's the lack of facial hair.
Okay.
I'm going to go slap my balls.
That's it.
I'm going to go, I don't want to do it on camera.
So I'm going to go hide behind a coffee shop and just randomly slap my balls.
Do you ever just accidentally step on them?
You have to have people to do it.
Oh, you pay people.
Yeah, I do.
$73.
Oh, that's a fair price.
That's not bad.
Monopoly money.
Thanks for kids.
Stints waiting for that idiot to show up.
All right.
Thank you, everybody, for showing up to the show here today, for those who you did.
Those of you who didn't, you don't know what I'm talking shit about you.
So thanks for being here.
You guys all rule.
We'll be back.
We're going to pre-tape some of these things and do some more of them.
Like I said, we'll do a home improvement one.
There are other things you guys want to hear about.
Other stories and other things in general, put it in the comment section.
That's probably the most important thing.
Put that in the comment section of what do you want to hear us talk about next week.
And that's it.
Maybe throw in a couple questions.
We'll highlight a few of those.
This is not live.
It's not a live show.
so whatever you want to do, put your thoughts in there, let us know.
All right, everybody, for me and Brett, we'll see you guys on the flip side.
Bye.
