Starting point is 00:06:55 disorders Yeah, and then I have ADHD. So I learned differently, which is the nice way of saying retarded, but I can say that I have documentation. So um, but yeah I uh, I went to a school that like taught me how to learn because I just learned differently I was always a creative person visual um And I just never I I went to a bunch of different middle schools and high schools I went to a lockdown when I was 17 where I graduated from in utah. So I I my schooling was never

I definitely have a books if I like if I'm interested in something I will become obsessed with it But there's you couldn't pay me enough money to ever study math ever again ever I could give a fuck. Yeah, you did but you did and then you moved the fuck on Yeah, like we'd taught me math like the math that I needed to know, you know And how was american university? It was cool for like You know, it was cool to be in our nation's capital. I got to see obama get inaugurated like I was
Starting point is 00:08:02 a part of you know, a huge historical moment in time But um, I was I just felt like the dumbest person in all of my classes. I could care less about politics Um, I wasn't inspired by it. I thought it was kind of like hollywood for ugly people But I mean, no, there's whatever but I just I it wasn't the right place for me And I even had the opportunity to intern for congress congress. I could have you know, um Gone off and done something big with that, but I just was never It wasn't meant for me. So you ended up in lynn college.

Yeah, that's where it's I mean you have to smoke. Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:18 That's the place like everyone is on something there And then when did you first decide to get on stage? Um, Almost three years ago Yeah, um when I was 29 Yeah, what made you want to go because you said you I had tried to get on stage many years before that I I did improv as a kid. So performing was never um, I was never shy I was always the first one in college who wanted to like get up and do my presentations And I just liked being in front of people but
Starting point is 00:09:50 When I was living in florida, I started going to improv shows. My first stand-up show was seeing mike epps at the palm beach improv and Um, I would see I saw john love. It's bob saggett. Like I had just fell in love with stand-up Years ago and then it wasn't until I was just in these like horrible relationships I was working these corporate jobs out here that I just was terrible at and I just knew that I really One felt purposeless. I felt like I was just kind of aimlessly roaming through life. I I like you know, I really Spoke to my depression and just I think I just
Starting point is 00:10:29 I was searching for that something and it wasn't until I was getting out of a relationship. I was 29 I was living with this guy that was so toxic and my life just wasn't what I wanted it to look like And for something for some reason just like stand-up was like it was screaming inside me It was like do stand-up and I had seen a friend Um, my friend sam grody. She was a sorority sister with me in dc She does stand up and I went to see her at the john love its club That one that got shut down At universe. Yeah at universal
Starting point is 00:11:02 And I saw her perform and I was like I could definitely do that. Um, and so yeah, I ended up um Finally after a breakup. I just started writing I went to um mikes I uh, yeah, I started getting on stage Are you uh I don't know how to ask you this
Starting point is 00:11:25 Are you lucky at love? Am I lucky in love like at love lucky at love do you? Um, I have always you attract fucking knuckleheads I've attracted a variety of Men in my life. Some of them were men. Some of them questionable. Um, I've always been in relationships since I was 15 years old I've always like loved having boyfriends. I've dated People since I was 15. So I've had a bunch of boyfriends. I guess I've had experience in dating guys
Starting point is 00:11:57 um, who were all different kinds of Uh, healthy and unhealthy for me now when you Broke up with that one dude. We got into stand-up Like I did the same thing like it was All part of a metamorphosis process. It was all part of uh I'm gonna stop doing what the fuck i'm doing and get into this like right I got on stage and like June and in october she told me she wanted to get separated. Oh, wow So I walked like for four months
Starting point is 00:12:31 I walked around like I don't want to be with this person no more And everything sucked. Yeah, like everything just sucked once I got on stage And here I am 28. I'm out of prison And I'm with this woman and god bless her She drove me to my first open wide. She forced me like she forced the hand, you know But it's really tough to explain to people Sometimes at your like I got into stand-up at the lowest point in my life
Starting point is 00:13:05 And then I got into it at a lower point And then I got all in at the lowest point in my life The lower I got the more I got into it. Yeah, is that how you felt sometime? I my first year stand-up I suffered like suicidal depression like I wasn't like I didn't have um a plan. I wouldn't actually do it, but it it was in and out of my life my first year stand-up. I Got out of that relationship that I was in at 29 Started stand-up. It was I was working for levity at the time And my uh, I was doing social media marketing for them. That's really like my my path into comedy was like I used to work at corporate
Starting point is 00:13:48 and um I I ended up leaving that job because they wanted to bring someone in house. They got rita from the improv Let me be a bartender in the lab and they don't give those jobs to like Just anyone let alone women and like I'm not a career bartender Like I'm in the back looking up, you know basic recipes for a Manhattan. You know what I mean? Like she really believed in me and so I was going through this breakup She gave me an opportunity at the improv
Starting point is 00:14:18 And I was also starting my open mics and writing and getting into stand-up And it just became Like my I was like, this is what I'm in love with. This is this is what I've been missing my whole life This is what this is my purpose. It gave me meaning to my life in a whole new way Oddly enough, I ended up getting into another relationship this past year. I just got out of a relationship. Um but He works in comedy and I just like
Starting point is 00:14:52 I just fell in love with comedy like that was like my That was my main love and then everything else was secondary and like he kind of saw that process Of like my first year is was rough for me because I was going through Kind of just like everything in my life like okay now I'm in a place where I can put meaning And like finding the funny and my pain and my trauma and also just like You know, I think It's a crutch for me is some of these relationships
Starting point is 00:15:23 Like I've always just maybe been afraid to be fully independent like Which I know I can be but like who wants to be alone at night, you know what I mean? Like and I don't I'm not a random Uh casual sex person. It just doesn't fulfill me. So I think that The more that I fell in love with stand-up the Like less like my relationship became began to deteriorate Like it was so weird to me how You think about
Starting point is 00:15:52 The first five or six years of a stand-up. You know, you're in love with something when you give up your apartment Yeah, like you know, you're in love with something like you have to force your You have to force yourself to Not be home. Yeah Like I can't be home and I like I don't even know what that is No, like if there were nights that I would choose to like spend in my first years I I I would have this guilty feeling like I'm cheating on my like My love, you know what I mean? And I and like that's when I was like, okay, this is
Starting point is 00:16:24 This is something that means so much to me and it just like I knew that I needed to like focus on that and like after being in all of these relationships that just didn't Work out like thank god. None of them wanted to marry me You know, and they they took it that far like thank god. It didn't work out because It was a point it was I'm at a point where I was like, okay This is this is what I've been missing in my life and this is what I need to feed You know what I mean kids kids. Do I like kids? Yeah, do you like kids? Do you ever see yourself having children?
Starting point is 00:16:58 Um, maybe one day like when I'm older in my 40s women are having kids in their 40s. So yeah, my wife had the 44s I'd I'd be a great pregnant 40 year old But right now comedy is comedy. I'm this is what this is what I'm gonna do. No matter what Like it's just amazing You know, when you look up in sadly and like a dictionary is doing something Over and over again with the same results, you know, and I always think about that. Yeah that with comedy all those years that people would look at you like You're fucking insane. You're living in your car. You're delivering pizza. Yeah, but
Starting point is 00:17:37 I was getting on stage three nights a week and then Afterward, I would talk comedy till three in the morning at a denny's on we would go to a supermarket and buy Co-cuts and just sit outside and talk comedy and questions and bookers and You know, it was just endless with me.

Starting point is 00:40:56 Listen man, you No, it's a part of my life. You say it, you know, you say it on stage You know, that's why comedy makes you so vulnerable. Yeah, you say this shit And you don't look back and guess what? When I wasn't saying this shit I didn't have a career. Yeah So when I was talking about all that goofy shit the first 10 years of comedy And I thought I was making strides, but I was a regular at the slaughter
Starting point is 00:41:25 I was a regular at the improv. You were just a guy cracking joke Okay, you were just a moron that got good at cracking rarest jokes, right? It's not till you go into that second layer of the epidermal And start saying let me tell you what I did and then bring it to life with a joke and Make them screech a little first, right and then go. Oh, we didn't know you were going that. Yeah You know, this is the first 10 years. You're just doing knock knock jokes. Yeah, you're just a fucking wedding photographer You know what I'm saying? You're a bar mitzvah dj. Yeah, you're a bar mitzvah dj, you know it's pretty cool
Starting point is 00:42:02 I did a show with hazers trejo last night and I like even if I like last night wasn't my best set but Even seeing people do well, but then seeing someone like him There's just a different level of laughter and the laughter is more consistent and it's just it's like It's like seeing like a superhero. It's it's pretty crazy to see someone Who's doing what you want to do and doing it like such a higher level. It's so inspiring You never want to be the best like for me. I don't ever want to be the best comic in the in the room You know what I mean? Like I want you do but you don't Yeah, but like I I always hope that there's someone around that I can learn something from you know, not even if it's not
Starting point is 00:42:40 The you know, whatever like we said on one day's podcast A few years ago watching rogan at the union At the union. It was a bar next to Across the street from Miyagi, which nobody knows. I'm talking about right now. It's across. It changed the name three times Yeah Okay, pink. Yeah Across the street if you go 30 yards, I forget what it is now It was the union and I had been working with joe for about
Starting point is 00:43:10 Three years at the time and I saw him go have great sets at the store But that night he was on pin point and every young comic in the room from I mean, I can't even nick the parlor was there that night like everybody looked at him And except for maybe nick the pile on a couple other guys that were in the room higher level guys all that whole core I was with like
Starting point is 00:43:35 I wasn't jealous of joe, but I knew that if I did the work That was going to be me in 10 years. Yeah Like that's all that's all like there was no Like it was like wow and then boom Sometimes you catch performances That'll doubt you right that you go home and go It's time to get on zip recruiter I'll never get that good
Starting point is 00:44:01 The first time I saw stan open 96 like I had I knew dug But I worked with dug in 92 and 91 and 96 He was a complete different animal That I went like I had a gig that sat there. So I'm on a friday and that sat there like cancel. Wow Like that's how shocking And how good precise timing
Starting point is 00:44:27 Free was the word right I didn't understand that you had to be free He was free. He was out of the cage. There was no holds barred It was staying home fucking coming at you people walking People grabbing their purses and paying their bills and he's yelling at them as they're walking out go fuck yourself Where you going? I got an abortion joke. You got to hear, you know, like just tormenting them as they walked out And you're sitting there going I just want people to sit and laugh. Yeah, what point are you happy that people walk out? He had flipped it around
Starting point is 00:45:03 There was another comic in seattle that that was his thing to go on stage and grow There was two of them a girl on the guy that We're gonna make them walk. Well You you won the war But you lost the battle, right? Stanhope was doing a little differently. Stanhope was one in the war And the battle because as he was throwing you out people were laughing that he was throwing you out Well, wait, you're not gonna hear my tit-fuck joke. Don't go nowhere yet and the woman would be I've never you know
Starting point is 00:45:35 Like it was fucking nuts Like what you know, and then I heard what he was doing down here That he would do sets at the improv and just disrupt the show Like the show would be fucking disrupted Like all these neat comics will go up with their notebooks and their fucking squarmy shit And they would get nothing because what they had just seen Was so surreal the first time I saw stanhope I cracked But then the second type of performance I saw I was rogue and at the union I go
Starting point is 00:46:07 Wait a second Two years ago. I wasn't even I was fucking yeah delivering pizza delivering chinese food Now I'm close with this guy and I'm able to see this So that means I'm making progress Exactly, you know, you're making progress. I know that that'll be me in eight years If I get on stage every fucking day Exactly and when you're at that point and you say I'm getting on stage every day You fucking mean it. Yeah, like I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:46:36 Hi, this is mom. I'm coming to visit you. You're like I hope not Because I got a weekend up in Fresno this week. I mean it gets to that point. Yeah when you're like Mom I had to leave my best friend's wedding. Yeah. No, I was in vegas. That's the discipline I went my best friend is the one wedding. I wanted to actually be at I got to be there for an hour That's the discipline. I saw them smooch I saw them. I ate some I ate a plate of food. I did I took the food
Starting point is 00:47:07 And I dipped I I wanted to be there more than anything But I was like I I want to be On stage more than anything else, you know, but this is what I really want and I get it first clicks The discipline becomes intense. Yeah, the discipline that you have to put on yourself Like the word vacation is disappears. Yeah, the word day off disappears the word wedding disappears Like there's so many things that just Disappeared. Mm-hmm relationships like relationships disappear if you really want to do what you want to do
Starting point is 00:47:42 That person will leave on their own. Yeah, because they know they can't compete. Mm-hmm. I can't compete. Yeah Guess what my friends and I are having this thing You're like Unless we do it 11. Yeah, exactly. What do you mean? And but you can't be doing comedy has to be that one night off When you do comedy stores open 365 days a week What does that tell you? But yesterday you did comics and you did the pizza place and you were so funny That was yesterday I gotta earn my stripes today. Yeah, and you get this weird discipline to you
Starting point is 00:48:16 And I mean I got to the point and you get josh wool next time you go up there You go josh all those years where you having parties in LA the jodias ever show Not once And he was pretty much my roommate. Yeah, I always had a spot to do. I don't know What you're talking about there was a girl broke up with me because She was into that shit You know, my brothers are coming out to visit me got nothing to do with me. No, that's god. No, that's your brothers I ain't got no brothers. My sister's in cuba and if that bitch comes over
Starting point is 00:48:49 She's gonna get the same treatment. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about That's why I love people who date comics and they're not in the business See as comedians, you can't be with another comic. Why because it's not gonna work. How do you know? I've been here for 22 years. But if there are people there are comics who do it does work out Why take the chance? Okay Why take the chance? Why take the chance? Because what happens? What happens if you start laying dating Lee today? Okay, you only fall in love. Okay moving together. Okay, and now
Starting point is 00:49:23 You start booking Okay, you gotta take this more to dealt with you No, so the first six months, it'll be fun. You take this more to dealt with you after that Obviously, you want to be on yourself on the weekends? You want to go do your own three things guess who's gonna get mad? Boom, what are you gonna get madly? What happens if you date this fucking? More to doubt Hey, we're both more and you both showcase for Montreal, right? But you get picked
Starting point is 00:49:52 How are you gonna tell her you got picked and that's fucking ass is gonna stay home. Oh, that's what she's gonna want to do Well, I'll just come with you I don't want you can't come with me. I you weren't invited. I don't even think that like for me I feel like it could work if no, it could it's not gonna work. Well, see like never gonna work I even noticed a little bit of what you're talking about. It was just friends. There's like comedy friends wanting to come to gigs and I don't know. I just stand up as you in a wall on the microphone. If you want to join the band join the beaters You know go do reunite with fucking SWV or something be the white chick
Starting point is 00:50:31 That's the bad mistake that you know, you don't know who do you date if you're a comic Non-comic you date down non-comic, but then you have to train them From what about Natasha and Moshe? There's a couple. That's one about Tom Segura and uh, like I said There's Christina. There's one in a million But the percentage what about rich boss and Bonnie McFarland the percentages are very low Yeah, but I I I get what you're saying. What about the agent from ICM and another the chick? Where's her career today? What about Ralphie and Lana? I got a thousand of them for you. I agree with you for the most part. First off number two
Starting point is 00:51:08 Both all three of those women you named. Yeah a very very very very Very comfortable in one their sexuality And two and in their skin Okay Those three women are not needy
Starting point is 00:51:26 Tom Segura will kick Tom Segura's wife will bit slap you quicker than I'll slap. Oh, yeah Bonnie McFarland will hit you in the fucking head with a shovel quicker than whatever And the other crazy bitch you talked about who else? Um, uh, Natasha. Natasha. Let's listen. I get it. I come from a strong ass woman myself Okay. Well, let me ask you this. How many comics did Natasha on the girl date? Before she settled down motion cash. Probably a lot. Okay. Yeah. So now you got 20 morons Every time you walk into a club Look at her release. I used to fuck her up the ass and put it up. Wow. Okay
Starting point is 00:52:04 You know I agree with you. I think for the most part. Oh my god. No, no, no, no I would never listen. I don't think people should shit where they eat. I'm very much against that However, I think in those case those are the cases where I'm like, I do like seeing those people together because they're perfect for each other Because they are comfortable with exactly who they both are and there's no competition But I don't think every comic should be out here dating and if you are dating a comic Like on the third date once you decide to move in with Lee You got to set your rules. Yeah boundaries. You got to set your rules. Yeah Same thing what happens when you date a civilian
Starting point is 00:52:43 Because let me tell you something sometimes they just don't get it. You're beautiful. You're beautiful. I want to marry you, right? So we get married What does joey do joey's a successful contract. They make seven figures a year six figures a year He's very comfortable on who he is We start humping fucking awesome. You spit out a little fucking woofie And You know what? I'm not the fucking nanny type. Yeah so
Starting point is 00:53:10 you're gonna go on the road with Dave chappelle and joe rogan and i'm gonna stay at home and watch the kid Mr. Nanny you got a better chance of fucking dying You know something's ain't it? Yeah Somewhere along the line. It's just I like women who meet. I love dumb bitches Who hook up with comics? Oh you like watching it? Oh, I love it. Yeah I've seen that one 300,000. Oh man, I feel like you don't watch reality tv. You just have people that watch reality tv. I watch life
Starting point is 00:53:46 Okay, I watch life and use people as guinea pigs in my own little private show I would pay to watch this show. I would subscribe. I'll look at you and lee and I'll say how long this is gonna last And I'll be happy if you guys do last But I'll have doubts about different things. Just I'll just watch it Yeah, I won't but then I'll just give it honestly if you got into Montreal I would and I didn't it would make me so happy because in my mind we got into Montreal Okay, well, no, she's gonna tag along. No, I have a gig that weekend. So you go off and do Montreal I'm gonna be over here doing my gig and also if we've been doing it a lot longer than I have
Starting point is 00:54:31 So for me in that sense, I gotta respect that You know what I mean, like but you won't see I see what you're saying, but even me myself I'm I can be a jealous person. I could see I could see myself I date you that means now. I gotta take you on the road with me Not when I'm married to be on the fucking road together too. Or how about we donnie and fucking marie? Who books that show can I chair? Give me that booker's number You're not but I think a lot of people are I'm very I'm I'm I my first year of comedy was very much
Starting point is 00:55:05 As much as it was getting on stage and like writing and and learning that And whatever it was also the mental side of it and having to deal with those emotions of Jealousy and worrying about what other people are doing and really I got to a place in my comedy where I'm like, okay I am confident that like In my material and who I am and like my Like that I know that I'm funny and that I'm in this journey. This is a journey for me. It's not like a Rush I'm not everything that I've gotten has come to me at the right time and when I felt like I deserved it I'm not one out here like
Starting point is 00:55:45 Begging for spots if I don't have a spot. I'm at mics. I'm writing every day I'm getting better as a comic and I feel like I've I've had to Come to terms with that even with friends because a lot of my friends were getting stuff You know and I was watching that in the first year of comedy But you know what I started to get stuff and it didn't stop I started to get a lot of stuff and I started to and I was like their success was my motivation You know what I mean and I just I'm not ever coming from a place of jealousy
Starting point is 00:56:17 I always come from a place of gratefulness and gratitude that I'm even just here so like I think it takes The right kind of people one to be in comedy and two to date comics to comics. It's never I don't but it's Comedy is not for everyone and dating comics is not for everyone nor should it be recommended to everyone if I dated Well, when you say dated I fucked around with maybe four comics and I part-time dated one comic where any of them enjoyable for you It got uncomfortable at what point
Starting point is 00:56:54 Once you put it in their ass No I didn't get to that part If you even take somebody home, they're a good piece of ass you're having a good time But then they did one little thing and it blows off the fucking whole night If they would have done it on the third night It wouldn't have bothered as much as the first night. Okay Like the four comic chicks I slept with
Starting point is 00:57:27 were all looking for something What do you mean? They were looking for help at some point. Oh, oh, I see like from you for their careers Oh, so they're at that part of my career. Remember this is this is this is when I was at the store Right, this is girls that would see me at the store right and go you didn't think they loved you for you. No No, no, no, no, this is LA Nobody loves you for you. Oh, no, I'm I'm being cynical. I'm not saying that. Yeah, I've been mad. I've met her and Yeah worked out. Um
Starting point is 00:58:02 One girl I kind of I dated her I really liked her. Yeah, and I kept it as as Detailed as I could But I couldn't think about six weeks on the road without a second my dick Brother with me because she was that much fun. Yeah, we did coat together. I could so it was a blast I could light her asshole on pussy on those nights on those off nights. Yeah three of Instead of paying for the hotel room myself. I'm sharing it with another comic And that's what I didn't like. Oh, you didn't like that. I got back from that. I was done
Starting point is 00:58:41 Oh, okay. I still liked her and I still messed around with it But our road work was done. Wow Did you run into anything with uh, because you you met you met your wife when she was working at the store not she wasn't a comic but Was there Any weirdness there with her being at your work or with her knowing with other comics knowing that she worked there They were pretty cool. I kept it under a hat for a year. Can I tell you something? My parents Are an example a rare example of people who work together that could stay. Yeah
Starting point is 00:59:13 Ran a business together and have a successful marriage together and these are These are not this is not recommended either for these people to be dating those You know what I mean? In each of us As a comedian. No, but they were politicians and let me tell you there is just as much competition to see your significant other I I get the competition part as comics That everybody chooses this career. True for a reason So there's a little bit of
Starting point is 00:59:45 With a comedian there's a little bit of We're not completely on our game. Okay Your farm's auntie. We're not completely on our game After I was 30 I learned that Like where you are right now now you start learning more about your relationships and where they are So I learned the one thing, you know what Rachel's fucking beautiful But I can't date Rachel, you know, she's psycho because she's a fucking pothead like me And that means every fucking day
Starting point is 01:00:17 Me and Rachel gonna smoke a pound of fucking weed and we're gonna go into debt together No, we're not because I'm gonna be up working out But I'm wrong about that catching that money But if you're an alcoholic and I'm a cocaine head, that's never gonna work But if you're a cocaine head and I'm a cocaine head, it's not gonna work Okay, like after I was 30 I started figuring that out So you got to just find someone who it does compatible drugs with You know, it's a yin and a yang
Starting point is 01:00:43 I'm really I feel like rick machine when he told that girl that Comedy doesn't work. Uh, uh, if you're over 28, I should have never said that Just in the years I've been here. I saw a lot more people break up Comics and a lot more staying together. Yeah, I saw a lot. I mean a lot. Yeah You know when you're doing comedy for five years And you're into it like a girl like you You're dealing with comedians seven nights a week
Starting point is 01:01:13 I bump into you. We go to denny's we go back to your house. You smoke a joint You come out with pajamas on something happens. Why are you letting my secrets out? And now we take little by little and we try it's happened a thousand times, you know But it ends kind of weird And now I got us like mitzi. Sure Let's say you and I dated and we were both at the store If we broke up after two years and mitzi found out Now she would make you follow me. Oh my god every night and I would make or
Starting point is 01:01:49 Me follow you every night So she would force you guys have to work together. She would make no weirdness. No, no, no There's difference between working together. You're the nc and on the headline or like But when you got to bring me up and shake my hand Even though you left me for lee. Oh god. Okay. You left me triangle for lee literally So Now I got to go follow you even though I want to spit in your face or I left you for your sister Would you want to bring me up without wanting to spit my fucking face?
Starting point is 01:02:20 That's a complete different emotion. She would tap into that's probably great for the stage though. Oh So inspiring, you know because what are you not going to shake my hand? Yeah, no, I definitely would give me a hug. Are you going to go up on stage and say this next guy coming to the stage? Fuck my sister stole my car and cheated on me and gave me fucking chlamydia I think he fucked my sister other chlamydia and we're getting married next week. Thank you That would actually be kind of funny. Would you say that? No, you have to say this next guy. I love I've seen him on atrio and I've seen him on showtime and comedy central He's one of my all-time favorites
Starting point is 01:02:58 Keep it going. You got and you got to say this while your heart's breaking He's going home to your sister You know i'm saying yeah that builds that's called the discipline The discipline I'm ready for it. This is no this is lee. Are you ready to fuck my sister and bring me up on stage? this is just like The jabs did, you know, there's a discipline There's a discipline. I'm one of the jabs and you fucked up. What do you do?
Starting point is 01:03:30 You got to go get a sword and and fuckers. I hurry car It's a discipline. Hurry. You fuck up. You cut your thumb off. Yeah, we're not cutting thumbs off in here nothing But you have to run this ceo of your comedy Like it's yeah, it's a discipline. I don't give a fuck If the period is gushing out of my pussy I got a 15-minute spot at the start. You know what i'm saying? Like yeah, these are all the things that You know, I don't care if i'm sick You know, they just when you get into that love of it
Starting point is 01:04:04 There's just this discipline that's like but I feel like it kind of is like hurry car I just know in the way like If you go on stage and have a bad like it feels like you're stabbing yourself And you kind of like I feel like maybe the point of hurry cars So you learn from it and hopefully you learn from You make like you're like, I'm not gonna make that mistake again on stage in some way. I think it's similar No, you make the mistake again again to see if it was even a mistake Okay, that's deep. Okay. I never thought about that make the mistake again on stage to see if it was even a mistake
Starting point is 01:04:36 Maybe there was just an audience that was deaf. You didn't get the memo You know, maybe there was an audience that doesn't like fucking sucking and fucking you didn't get the memo, you know Yeah, I'm sorry to turning your Podcast into a comedy class. Oh, no, I'm learning so much. I really wanted to get to learn about you. This is so interesting Oh, thank you. So who do you write for now? I know you're right. Um, I'm not I mean, I I've written for publications. I've written for uh, high times mary jane vice playboy um, right now I just work and do marketing during the day for the weed industry And uh comedy at night
Starting point is 01:05:14 And when you say weed industry, who do you? I work who signs your paycheck, uh bud feed kush queen um, I shoot for a bunch of brands I um, yeah, I do social media marketing. So I get a lot of work in the weed industry Just you smoking Talking about that problem. Well, I do I do shoots. Um, I am part of a youtube channel where we film videos We have like 70 000 subscribers all about weed kind of from an educational
Starting point is 01:05:46 Uh base standpoint with a little bit of humor and then I write for Uh publications. I do social media marketing for brands and companies. I run ads on my account Um, so yeah, I just I try to uh, you're pretty much making a living off the weed company Um, not fully a living like I I'm between weed and comedy. That's what I make my living off of Now you also said In an interview that get to know the weed plant and keep it original Yeah, if you want to get into the business. Yeah, what did you mean by that? Well, people get to know the plant Yeah, for me, I just see a lot of people who are getting into the industry
Starting point is 01:06:29 I mean everyone has their intentions of getting into weed. Um, but I just think that you need to really I I don't like seeing people who get into the industry and don't have a relationship with the plant because for me it's a medicine and Yeah, and it's I feel like it's like you're taking advantage of something and of people who You know, this is a medicine. This is something that's special to us. It's healing and It's becoming so corporate and that's the side of it that like when we voted for legalization that a lot of people warned Us about that this is what it would turn into and you know over time. I think things will change
Starting point is 01:07:06 But you're seeing so many different kinds of people trying to get into the industry and I get asked this question a lot of like How do I get in? What's the best way because I've you've been smoking for two weeks. Yeah, and all of a sudden Now you listen to Bob Marley. Yeah, all of a sudden you got a weed t-shirt That's what I saw in the very beginning. I saw a lot of fakes Faking the funk. Well, and so for me, it's just like, well, you know one get to know the plant From an authentic standpoint find why you love this plant. What is it that attracts you to the to the plant and then For me be original like whatever you're doing whatever you're producing whatever
Starting point is 01:07:44 You're putting out there whether it's marketing or you're trying to do a brand or you're trying to do a grow like be original Be authentic like find a way to add not take away from Whatever is out there. I guess, you know, you brought a blunt I did and we smoked it before the show. Yes If this was three years ago right now, we'd be on a 50th bond hit 2000 nettles. Yeah, I had to cut that out for two reasons. Number one I listened to the podcast and we were putting our shitty content
Starting point is 01:08:14 Because we were stoned 80% of the time And the other problem was that I was attracting The wrong kind of audience audience. Okay. I didn't want the audience. I didn't want to ever lie to the audience I smoke You know a fucking eighth every two days of 25% and over thc And I have a bomb. I do this one bond at a time. Okay. I wake up to three Three before I go lift Three when I come back amazing two at one
Starting point is 01:08:47 A three before I got a picture. I smoke an eighth an hour. Do you really? I mean, I can go through an eighth and less than a day Yeah, I could I could do them in a day The bong slows me down. Yeah, I should probably do that. Okay the bong I do the bong because it's a bigger hit I get the more from my bang Yeah, when I smoke now number two, I can't smoke the same weed every day Yeah, so when I go to the weed store, I got to buy four weeds Indicate what daytime weed and nighttime weed. I'm an indica guy. Okay, for sure
Starting point is 01:09:14 If it's if it's a high g if it's a high bread that's indica dominated Okay, me too and the percentages I'll go with that sativas just do not work There's maybe one or two sativas that put me in a different state, but the rest of them don't do dick to me Yeah, I feel that I'm an indica dominant In one of your interviews or one of your youtube videos. I saw that You had adhd and then you were bipolar when you were 12, you know between you and me I don't know what half that shit is. Yeah, I don't want to fucking know. Yeah, but I do know that I had the same thing. I didn't get
Starting point is 01:09:51 I just knew from the first time I smoked weed Not alcohol, not snorting coke Not eating pills, none of that shit as far as weed concerned Something happened to me. Yeah, if you notice, I'm not a big Weed and a group type of guy, right? You won't see me at weed functions. Yeah I'm not that's not my bag For me. I do it like the fucking Indians. It's uh It's uh
Starting point is 01:10:18 Ritual it's a ritual. Yeah, you know as it as it very much It's a ritual for me a personal ritual. Yeah, I can't lie to you and a lot of people gonna hate on me for this I don't give a fuck if it's illegal Okay It's a ritual for me. I like I like ripping the paper and then Clue in it together. I'm letting it dry and while it dries. I'm breaking up my button I'm listening to a music and then I put it together like I wrote two joints and put them in a Thing and go to I'm when I'm on the road and I'll smoke one before the first show and before the second show
Starting point is 01:10:51 I really don't want to smoke with nobody. Yeah It's my own personal little ritual Totally, you know, if I know that you're gonna be the I'll bring seven joints So I could give you one your own joint just in case you blew a fucking A fucking terrorist last night. Yeah, I don't have to have terrorist germs in my lung and agent orange You know what I'm saying when I was a kid I would get sick when I smoked in circles Oh, wow, I would get really sick or whatever. So for me I I never for me. It was not about I think that one this weed thing and you and I both know this
Starting point is 01:11:24 We won't mention no names. I think a lot of people got on the weed boat to sell ticket center Yeah, make people think they were cool or whatever And they the way the guy like me. Yeah, because like you I've been hitting this since I was 12, right? And I think for even when I think of comedy When I think of the comedic mind And I think of a drug. There's no better drug. Yeah, you know this morning when I got back from acupuncture I had a fucking right before I came he had a right a little bit I did four or five bomb hits. Yeah loosen the wing
Starting point is 01:11:58 You gotta look at the dry ginger elf diet And that put a I leave myself on the other room I go on the living room because I didn't have a chance to go get caught, you know I had to do it there and it's all part of my ritual I love that if I could I don't like smoking while I write I like to smoke leave the bomb in the other room And then I write and then get up an hour later and go refuel. That's a discipline That's a discipline get up move around and go smoke again in another room the uh
Starting point is 01:12:28 The common thing when I hear from people about riding high Is that it'll seem funny in the moment, but then it actually isn't have you guys trained yourself to ride high? Or or do you find the same thing? It's not about writing funny in that It's about relaxing you if you read the Stephen King book on writing. It's not about writing a whole page It's about sitting there for now. Okay It's about you. I'm gonna have to read that getting up going somewhere Sitting there facing the sun Or against the sun if you read his book. Yeah, he sits a certain way
Starting point is 01:13:00 towards the sun Steven Spielberg the prince Stephen King the prince of fucking darkness The guy who wrote cujo has to sit a certain way in a room Facing the sun and he plays music while he writes And he locks the door so nobody could come and I don't like my wife coming in the room, but I'm fucking right Oh, wow That's why I go to a coffee shop and I sit in the same place the coffee shops nobody could come up behind me Wow, you know, I like all these little rituals rituals
Starting point is 01:13:30 But marijuana for me has always been a ritual. You know, I get up I drink coffee. I pop a nicotine gum. I brush my teeth Then I hit that pipe at that about 40 minutes in by fucking eight o'clock. I'm starving now I can eat my two eggs and bake it. What time do you hit when you wake up? Um, I mean honestly every day is different. I wake and bake pretty much every single day every day Different ways. I've been on blunt lately, which is probably not the healthiest But I just love that little bit of tobacco. I like I like it from time to time. I love it blunt in a coffee I go and I work out
Starting point is 01:14:07 Sometimes I'll wait to smoke until after I work out because I like to think of it as a reward You know, it's my wind down Um, and definitely when I'm writing and even like on before I get up on stage like Felipe When you know, we're chief and right until the moment we get walk on stage and I had some of my best sets You know high as fuck and like I'm just calm where I can like Be myself and like some stuff like maybe a joke will just come out. I'll write it on stage or something for me The reefer removes the safety net. Yeah, I'm fucking Johnny Wollander. You want to be Johnny Wollander? This is your chance to be more Johnny Wollander
Starting point is 01:14:43 Smoke this this is another discipline Focus and go on stage deliver the audience will read That you're high. Yeah, and they give you brownie points They give you points. So there's a learning curve You know when you're drinking you don't get that learning curve That's true when you're smoking you get that little curve from the audience And if you are funny and they know you're stoning you start giggling they're taking the ride with you You suck them into your fucking right. You suck them into your nightmare. It's true. You know, you really did
Starting point is 01:15:16 I don't do edibles before stage But I will smoke pot like oh, yeah Because like I told my wife the other day I go this is why I don't like the word sobriety Because you're always living on a fucking I can't I can't I can't yeah It's like the opposite of improv marijuana keeps me knowing that I'm dirty. Yeah There is something wrong or real, you know, I have always I've always dreamt of giving up Coke and alcohol and pills and all that shit marijuana
Starting point is 01:15:50 It's never even crossed my fucking mind Like I will smoke till they bury me unless I lose a lung or an eyeball I'm the same way something was it hard for you in new york or did you be able to bring enough for the entire month? I don't you find weed in new york. I brought Fucked in two pounds of weed with me back there when I was there for the three weeks. Yeah I had eight different types of weed. Oh hell yeah You just put it in your back. Yeah, they don't care anymore 28 ounces I brought two. Yeah
Starting point is 01:16:19 I bring a gym bag. You just dip it in the boxing glove Oh, sure. So now you have two bags. So if they lose one, you got weed in one and I don't lose both of them Yeah, that's my steep lap me a bag has something You put them all in different places. Yeah, I don't I don't vape that don't work no I don't like that. I don't like that. I'm gonna bring you a bag of vapes and I go I still would have taken them and smoked them just because you gave them to me. No, but they don't The vapes do something to me the first two of them in the mind And then I'm spitting up the next couple days. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not a fan
Starting point is 01:16:51 Where do you see marijuana going in the future? Do you see tv shows? I mean, I've watched born up a tea. No Nothing best I mean, I I I saw a bus today that the whole rap of the bus was a cbd Advertisement so it's going mainstream like it's it's gonna be huge. I think there's gonna be maybe even a weed channel I wouldn't be surprised that there was a tv network or if it all just went online. It's really just when mainstream advertising And the people like that are willing to put their dollars behind You know cannabis content on a mainstream level
Starting point is 01:17:30 Like what's like coke or like pepsi is going to be the first one to like back or sponsor Something like that. We're really just kind of waiting and I think honestly if it goes federal That's when we'll really start to see it on a different level You know all over the place. I don't know. I think it was I don't know if we're both friends with mom on facebook But yesterday someone posted a picture that some cbd company Had like the time, you know how time square looked they'll have like eight different advertisements from the same company It was a cbd company. Yeah, I mean, it's the future. It's everywhere It's in our Walgreens that they're selling cbd at Sephora. It's my friend has a
