[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I would split, I would split my pay with you and they give you an extra five minutes on stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says 2005 on their Wikipedia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He yelled a lot, but he was good. I had to deal with it. You had to deal with Barry Katz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, technically what happened was, is I, you know, I was at the New York Comedy Cup with Al for many years, Al Martin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, some guy was skimming money, uhm, at the Boston Comedy Club, so they needed a new guy. And then Al Martin, he asked Al Martin, you know, who can I bring in, whatever, and then Al picked me. And that's how that worked. Some guy was skimming money, so that's how I got there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was really funny cause he would just show up and, you know, and not let us know, and tell us when he was showing up. And cause he was in LA and then he was just kinda sorta kept, you know, the Boston Comedy Club in New York. And then he would just show up like on a Monday and it would be like three people like, dude, just come on a weekend, man. We're crushing it. Like don't come on a Monday. Sold out shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one guy had a great laugh. Oh yeaah. He always came. He always came. He was always there. We never charged him. We gave him his own seat. Like I always said, if I had a comedy club in New York, I was gonna have a golden seat for Bob. Just have it right. Nobody can sit in it. Yeaah. He was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well it was 60 some places. Yeah. And like, I remember I went to this, I went to the big meeting and it was just like everybody was there, Colin Quinn, all these comedians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was kind of cranky about it because I felt like, you know, some of these guys, they weren't even paid guys anyway. They were just kind of trying to attach themselves to this thing so they could like get friends of comics and whatever. I remember, and then I was kind of, you know, I might have been a little hungover. I'm not gonna, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we pay. I pay. I paid like 60, you know, a spot. Well, not 75, which is everybody else pay, because we didn't get, all we got was the cover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in a lot of times we let people in free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there was no comedy hub back then or internet where people were buying tickets and so yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't think this is always good, because I think what happens to this is a lot of guys like, cause I don't know, I think the idea of not paying someone a lot of money in the city makes you work harder and like, you know, aim higher. Cause a lot of guys sometimes, like you said, they stay in this, they become city comics forever and they're amazing towns that should be kind of bigger names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was hilarious. He would like, cause that was the thing too, is he, we'd all want to drink with Dave. And a lot of times, like, you know, he would go into a bar, he would buy us all shots and then just leave. And we'd like do the shots and be like, we just were here cause we want to hang out with Dave Attell. And then like he's just gone. He was just like, I was goodbye everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember I did a camp show and I was at Gotham Comedy Club and the owner of the comedy club, I had a beer on stage, you know, cause I don't, you know, I'm not thinking it through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he just walked up as I'm on stage telling jokes and just grabs it out of my hand and then just takes it and then just walks off. And I'm like, okay. And then I'm just like, hey, and just try to do jokes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was, it was like, that was like the big deal. Cause it's like, especially for younger comics. Cause they always wanted somebody a little younger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like that older guy that kept doing it. Cause I'm that guy that shows up like, hey kids, you know, like, so. Well, it was good money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's one of the best comedian documentaries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's, that's actually a different experience, the Orny situation, because I felt like he kinda got kinda gifted something really cool. And then it was like, what do you do when you have it? Do you, do you exploit it? Do you, do you crush it? So that's what's really interesting about it. Cause a lot of us weren't handed that situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I think it was like, it was an experiment. It was an experiment, I think for the documentary, uh, to see what happens if you give a guy, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what it is? It's like sports, you know, like you feel like you gotta like, you take down the legends and like be as good and whatever. So you get that cockiness where you're like, okay, I got this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, well that's the thing in Comedian, uhm, you know, when he's brought up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those girls kinda heckle him when they're talking about his notes. I bring him up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm bringing him up in that. It's at Gotham. And that was the weirdest thing because it was one, it was also one of those moments where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was the kind of guy, I think we talked about with Chapelle and stuff, like I'd be like, ladies and gentlemen, Jerry Seinfeld, everybody would be like, yeah, okay. You know, like, like the audience just wouldn't believe you. They'd be like, okay, like it's some joke or something. Then he would come in and everybody would just go bananas. Yeah. And, uh, but yeah, I brought him up that and they, of course, you know, I wasn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. Yeaah. Bill Burr was like, what's up with this? Yeaah. He was like, what's up with this? Like a lot of us. Cause we were, you know, but like I said, it was like, you know, they just chose one guy and I think his attitude about it made it interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you don't know that. You know how this is. You have no idea where it's... Where anything is going. You have goals, you have ambitions, but you don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was like, he was a killer. He's a guy that just, he was very animated. He was like, yeah, just like the stool and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've gotten rid of a lot of clothes because of that. It's funny how comics are superstitious. I got hats I just threw away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta shake it off. I mean, every boxer gets knocked down. You know, just get back up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's the beauty of it, you know? And it makes you better because you reflect, like, what did I do in that set that made that happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you can check me out. Uh, I have a show called Dustin's Vinyl on Twitch. It's a podcast as well. I go to record stores and we talk about vinyl records and stuff. It's very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey hey, good to be here. Thanks for having me. There he is, in person. I look like Aaron's after photo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Starting it up dude. Pretty shocking, I can't believe it, I feel good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Couldn't stop every kind of room, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan club, bar show. No days off. No days off. Who needs it? I mean, what else are we doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you gotta be a psycho, I missed a ton of weddings, a ton of holidays, your parents aren't here. I know!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't do it again, like, you ever think back, like, I don't, just the eating pizza every night, the drinking, the, the day jobs, brutal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, and also, I don't know about you, but I hate family and friends in the audience. I want the strangers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard. It makes you feel vulnerable and less authentic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if you're a friend or family, if you want to go see a show, go secretly, then you'll see the real show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. But then you, then you get off stage and go, my aunt was here. Oh boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. But it is perfect for us, and I think we're introverted, weirdo comedians. So, uh, if somebody goes, I'm going to come see your show, you go, great, this counts as a hang. Because otherwise it would be a nightmare for us. Oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did a gig at Caroline's. Remember those Caroline's gigs that you follow Sinbad or whatever, he would do an hour. He probably did three hours. So he pushed the show that I was on with a bunch of no name guys. That just cancelled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he just took up all the time. And so we kind of showed up like, ah, jeez, Sinbad, what are you doing? And he goes, don't worry. And he just told us stories for another three hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I opened for JB Smoove there, and it was right when Curb hit. Everybody loved Curb, he was on Curb, and uh, so was all Jewish people in the audience, like New York Jews. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came out to the ba-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da. So they're going nuts like, oh, we're going to see Leon Black. He was filthy. I mean like deaf comedy jam. And I remember watching everybody walk out. It was like the exodus of the, you know, let my people go. All just leaving Yamaka after Yamaka. Just getting out of there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they think, oh, we'll bond, he'll take me on the road, we'll have this great relationship, like, come on, this is a gig, he's gone tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I assume you open for earthquake at some point. Someday I hope so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Oh, there you go. It's got like two million views. Well, it's fun cause you get to be the, the white guy, the novelty. Oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ultimate compliment you get this a lot is like, oh, I didn't even realize Nate was clean. Which is the nicest thing you can say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever had a bit, and I've always wondered this about clean comics, that you go, oh, this is so good, but it's, it's not clean. And you just want to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel the same way. Some people are like, oh, you're, you say this edgy stuff or you're trying to get a rise out of people. I'm like, no way. I never got those comments like I walk half the room. Like why? I want the room for a good time and laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true and that's part of stand up is getting the audience to get you immediately and he was like, I'm not doing that part. I'll go write something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's good. Yeah. Cause then you have to push it down. If it doesn't pop it anyway, you're golden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can get it kind of more about a sex joke, but you just start it with a table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? It's way harder to go full clean, but I think when you nail a clean joke, it's actually, you found the comedy in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's a Cosby, you know, before Cosby everybody, you know, the whole thing, but he has a joke where he says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, you can see how terrified I'm trying to act normal in this photo and I'm freaking out the whole time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, uh, we did four shows at the Beacon, highlight of my life. This is pre-COVID, obviously. And, uh, after the four shows, he likes to do a thing where he goes, I rented out this Italian joint, great pizza. And then we had tiramisu after and a couple of glasses of wine and just talk comedy and trash people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walked home on cloud nine that night, just clicking my heels all the way from midtown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was bombing in Buffalo, it was July 4th weekend, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The club was empty. I had like 12 people there. Bombing, sweating. I get off stage after the first Friday show and then you have a minute before you have to do the second show. And I'm in the green room like, woo! And my phone is like a pinball machine. And I was like, huh? And they're like, Seinfeld's talking about you! And I just clicked one of the links and I couldn't believe it. I sent it to my parents. They actually cared about it for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, yeaah, it's great because you can't take that away from me. Right. You know, you can ruin my life or kill me or whatever, but I have that on video forever. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's one of us too. You watch him on convenience and cars. He's, he's got a Jerry Lewis episode and he's like an eight year old. Yeah. Yes sir. Mr. Lewis. I love you. I'm a huge fan. Can I ask you about this? And you're like, that's just what we do to him. It just keeps passing down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we'll text every now. It's getting less and less because of COVID and then you just never see them anymore and comedy got weird. So it's less and less, but we text about norm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What that's the cool thing about stand up is we don't have as much pretension. Like if you're a low level guitar guy, you're never gonna hang out with Mick Jagger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we get to hang out with these guys because we're all just comics. They have these big levels of, you know, I'm a superstar. Comics comic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unbelievable, yeaah, and those guys had to, like, Foxworthy had to come up when comedy was, comedy's big now, it's accepted, it's on Netflix, people saw it at the Garden all the time. Comedy was like, very niche, underground, I think to come up in the 80s like that, and then the 90s, that's impressive to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think for that character. It's funny for a dumb guy to think he's smart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Completely. Yeah, I remember, uh, what's the guy who did Raymond?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did Letterman, Letterman liked him, gave him a sitcom, killed it. Has that happened? I mean it was like Seinfeld, Roseanne, Ellen had a sitcom, Ray Romano, Kevin James, Tim Allen, but that might have been the last big


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's shocking too because, I mean let's be honest, a lot of these network suits are kinda cowardly. Like they just keep making the Avengers over and over cause they know it works. So you'd think they would go with the TV model that works. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was that the, hey I'll give you a spot in the show if you leave me alone, maybe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta be better at stuff, because if she did that to me where she trashed me in a special, I'd be like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would be like, we're enemies, yada yada, but he had the, he was mature enough to bring her back and spin it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if deep down she was on that next episode and he was like, I dare you to do it again. You know? Cause it still sticks with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So crazy that I was a freshman in high school and Sinatra died, I still remember it. It's crazy to think he was producing this show. I was in high school in New Orleans. So different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that you're going back, you're like, it's gotta be Stiller, cause he's a tall guy, bald, and it's a handicapped spot episode where they trash his car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, that's right. And he hits Kramer in the head, he dents the helmet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, invitations. I mean, unbelievable. So good. That's a great later app. Cause when I was watching that, I was going through a kind of a breakup with a girl and I was trying to get out of the relationship and she wouldn't let me. So when seeing George start smoking, like they got a hold of me. All that was amazing to me. You never saw that on a sitcom, a guy trying to get out of a relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, definitely. The, uh, the, what was it? The double dog derriere or make a wish or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got one of my favorite lines, he goes, he gave me the eye, stink eye, evil eye, crooked eye, or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. Do you have, you said your favorite, Andrea Doria?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazing, amazing. They said they wrote that, you know, at two in the morning just him and Larry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had that all the time with, you walk by these theaters in New York, it seats 5,000 people and some K-pop. And the biggest thing on the planet, I'd never heard of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Physical acting phenom. Yeah. Comedic acting, uh, physically is incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when people get too involved. You're like, alright, it's a comedy show. You're, you're working on the diet, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is when a show is popular, when you're doing a diorama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, but this is like those psychos who go, they got the origin story wrong for Hawkeye. You know what I mean, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there more of a genius guy in comedy to sell? He sold so much old stuff again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just re-upped it and made a new paycheck. Hulu, the first was syndication, then Hulu, then whatever, now Netflix. Paycheck, paycheck, paycheck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree, and first of all, Ornie Adams in that movie, I was like, I'd kill to be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the best, that's all I wanted in this business. And then two, oh sorry, two, uh, seeing Seinfeld bomb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was insane, because he was such a, you know, legend already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then, uh, Jerry goes, this is a great Kramer line. He goes, uh, you want to come to Yankee Stadium and help me pull these flyers off Georgia? Oh yeah. You could have said just about anything there. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a stand-up set, you gotta work it out, you gotta give it a few years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect, and you know it a mile away, you're like, ooh, Seinfeld's coming on, you're in the other room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I completely agree, you make a good point and I appreciate that you got Jerry's back. The only thing I'll say about these episodes that takes me out of it is sometimes the characters


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't live up to their true care, like one point is one episode where Kramer gets lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his whole thing is that he's like a New York guy, he drove the firetruck, he knows every street, you know, but he's like, why would Kramer get lost? Stuff like that where you're like, do you know these characters or not? And that would take me out of it, but there's great comedy in all these episodes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the cough with the dogs, muckers. That's, that's Angie Doria though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right. Another great line from that one is, uh, Elaine comes in and she gets all messed up from the steam, and he goes, Yamahama, it's Fright Night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think maybe, I think the best episode might be the opposite, George.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Choose not to run. Kramer becomes a communist. I mean there's so much good stuff in that one. That's a good one. To me that's a flawless, but my favorite episode, for some reason this episode just hits me, is the dinner party. It's written by Larry David, but it's, the whole show is just stand up. You know, he's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, what kind of cake do you want to buy? Black Forest? Ooh, scary. How about carrot cake? You don't make carrots in a cake, I'm sorry. It's just doing bits. Yeah. And I love that episode. Uh, the marble rye is in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Is it called Marlboro? No, no, that's, that's, they just have the Marlboro, but they, oh, Bobca, it's Bobca, sorry. And he's like, uh, chocolate Bobca. No, we got a cinnamon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, cinnamon. No, cinnamon's good. He defends cinnamon. Uh, they slip in the liquor store and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat! Big coat!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, it's just, that one speaks to me. It's just all jokes. And I love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's the little thing. One time there's an episode where Jerry and Elaine are fighting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, uh, when George, the hand model, another great one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, he's living back at home and he's wearing gloves everywhere and the mom is being so nice to him now because he's actually doing something with his life. And she's like, I made jello. And he goes, does it have the bananas in it? Like Frank Stiller just jimes in like, does it have the bananas in it? She's like, yeah, that's bananas. Why don't you put the bananas on the side? He's like, stop, I can't have all this stress around my epidermis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Makes me nervous. I like this level. I like the club selling out, but you think-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] MarkRomanComedy.com and uh, check out some YouTube stuff. I'm all over the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was joking. You couldn't hear it? I can't hear him. I read lips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had you proposed to his girlfriend in the comment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Jeannie, I think suggested to him to do a Nate Land wedding and he says his fiance's on board with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people think the Seinfeld DVDs are just Kraft macaroni and cheese.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like, uh, when Kurt Angle wrestled Brock Lesnar for, for real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When nobody like not, you know, and he brought so much bigger, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just did a show where my, I looked down and my shoestring was untied. So the whole set I'm debating, do I stop?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put this mic down and stop for tie my shoe. And in my head I'm thinking, I don't think anybody can see it or notice. And when I got done, so many people after the show said the whole time you were up there, all I could focus on was that shoe being untied. That's all they thought about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, corporate show and the guy before me was a motivational speaker. He had the whole headset, like a Ted talk and he was great. He spoke for over an hour. And I mean, everybody's taking notes. I started taking notes. He was so good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk about how to change your life and just, I mean, talk about how everything in life is a deposit or withdrawal. Anytime you take a sip of water, it's a, it's a deposit or soda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just a very shift in the day. You just see the mood of the room shift to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's hurting your body, like, it's not even a neutral, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, he did talk about, well I don't have him on me, but he talked about relationships with your wife and at your work and just, just very positive. I usually make people feel better about themselves by talking about my life. He just made them feel better about themselves by just giving them positive stuff to talk about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, uh, he wanted to just be called Sylvania, which is Latin for woods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to think what states are named after, I mean, a person. Washington. Right. Is there any other? Most of them are like Native American names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Philadelphia. Philadelphia was the nation's capital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they were building the White House, I think, or the Capitol building in D.C.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's uh, nicknamed the Keystone State. Yeaah. To the beer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's impressive, man. Right. Pennsylvania has more Amish than any other state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was surprised that Amish has grown. It seemed like it would be something that would be fading out. It's like doubling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Benjamin Franklin inaugurated the first public zoo in Philadelphia. Who? Benjamin Franklin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was supposed to open in 1859, but it was delayed until 1874 because the Civil War was going on. Not a good time to, I guess, to have animals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, some famous people from Pennsylvania, Bill Cosby, Jerry Sandusky, Mike Vecchione. Oh wow. Wow. Wow. Boom. Boom. Mike. Mike. Hill people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what the most popular tourist attraction in Pennsylvania is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, most popular tourist attraction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Pat Oliveri invented the Philly cheesesteak. I hope I sang it his name right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. I think Laura has it in there and she microwaves it when you're not around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then people waiting would have a, no exact time when the time would be right. 22 minutes left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was it, Michael Scott's? Every time I watch The Office, there's always some reference from us. He canceled the ad team that was making the commercial and he's on the phone and, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryan's trying to explain to him, you're not in advertising. He's like, like I went open a restaurant cause I don't know either. And Michael said, well, I do know about a restaurant and I have it. And he, what is it? He calls it cereal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that it? Yeaah. Okay. Okay. I think of you every time I see that episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, two U.S. presidents were born in Pennsylvania. Yes!

[Assistant] Yep. Yeah. James Buchanan. Anybody want to guess the other word?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Crayola Factory can be found in Easton, Pennsylvania. Yes!

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's a place, uh, I guess a park you go to with a hammer and some, you hit some of the rocks and it makes a ringing sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And scientists still aren't sure what causes this to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where is it? It's in Pennsylvania, that's all I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, getting some sports, uh, Steelers won six Super Bowls, four in the 70s, two in the aughts. Four in the 70s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's why it's withdrawal, right? Yeah. Yeah. It was a good joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Eagles won Super Bowl in 2017.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later that evening, sorry to interrupt, uh, told my future wife I loved her for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it was because I took her to Nate's house and kind of the first gathering, his entire family was there. And I was like, if she can, she had a good time put up with this family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for one season in 1943, the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers merged to form the Stiegels due to the loss of many players during World War II.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little League World Series has been held in Williamsport since 1946.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Eagles, the Eagles old stadium, the vet had jail for, with four cells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new Lincoln Financial Field had jail before sales, but they closed it due to good behavior of the fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, it's the night before Halloween where kids can just be- do vandal stuff, right? Yeaah. Toilet paper. They allow it? Hacking. I think it's just a tradition. Yeaah. In the Philadelphia, kind of Northeast region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1991, it got out of hand in Camden, I guess Camden, New Jersey, which went across the river. Yeah. And 133 fire calls. Yeah. The busiest day in their history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't that like the guidance counselor who says if you had a million dollars, what would you do? And then that's what you should pursue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then I'll end with lobster boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He complained, but I was like, look, I pay to be on here too, buddy. So we all do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Lobster Boy, his name was Grady Styles, he was a freak show performer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so because he had lobster claws, he was called lobster boy, but he was also an alcoholic and abusive to his family. He was unable to walk, so he would


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was not sent to prison or a state institution because they weren't equipped to care for an inmate with his condition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he was sentenced to house arrest and 15 years probation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another sideshow performer for $300.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was hated so much that at his funeral only 10 people came and no one would volunteer to be a pallbearer to carry the coffin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we could be rolling with it. This is, we were having to pre-record this episode, uh, so we don't know when it's gonna come out. So let's go folks, might be already over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. It might be, that might be edited out. Might've had a call and say the people are, they're outside my, my land.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go folks. Uh, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate, uh, Aaron, Brian, uh, I don't know. I started it because I started that weird. You know, we were talking about,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is in the past, uh, you having more energy with your intermittent fasting. You just fell asleep on the couch like an old man. Uh, so I mean, you know, just wondering about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is the perfect school. It's going to knock me out. Little college world series, little, you know, sandwich, or do you have salad? That's a sandwich. Sandwich, college world series. I mean, that's, you know, try to stay awake. It's a recipe, recipe for gal. And there's, that's a good nap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very funny comedian. And, uh, me and Louie were on the road, and we were going to try to take a nap, and he says it gives himself 20 minutes. If he can't fall asleep, then he gets up and goes. And I remember just thinking that. That was almost like a good...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's never slept. I give it a go. If it doesn't take, I get up and do things at three in the morning. Uh, no, he, yeah, for a nap, you give yourself, go in there, like sometimes if you lay there and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Relax and like calm everything down. You know, you can fall asleep and take a nap where you're not really asleep and you're, you kind of hear everything, but then that's usually a pretty good, it's a pretty good nap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carlotta Simonson. Simonson? Simonson. Wow, the Simonson family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also love that it's in person only and not over zoom. It's obvious that Nate gets it. He understands if it's worth, if it's worth doing, it's worth doing all the way. Even in a podcast about nothing, it's a clear ton of work goes into it. I, I for one love it. Well, I love that car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but it is, I do appreciate that. Cause I know we talk about nothing and dumb, but we got a lot of cameras, the crew and there's, you know, 25 people in this room during COVID. Uh, at all times and few of them had it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my improv class, we learned the first rule of improv is yes and, which means that no matter what someone throws out, you go with it. Nate's first rule of podcasting is that's stupid. We're not talking about that. When Aaron or Beaker throws out an idea he doesn't like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know it's tough when the whole subject's there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love Yes Ann. I did some improv, uh, and I remember Yes Ann. And my favorite thing about improv is, maybe my favorite thing in comedy, like something that's bad, is in improv when someone doesn't get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When someone doesn't get the yes and, it's so fun to watch. When they're like, you know, someone's like sitting here like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Scott is one of the greatest. He's got all the guns. He holds his hands up. He whispers in his ear and he holds his hands up. He goes, what did he tell you? He said, he can't show you right now, but he does have a gun. Give me all your guns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, uh, I mean, he broke every, like, they go, I'm at the lollipop. Come here, gun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we thought someone said it was extras and then it's the life too short. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're on Bridgewater. Not sure if I listen to you folks too much, but this might be a sign that I do. I am a pastor and this past Sunday when I got up to preach, the first thought that happened, that popped in my head was, hello folks!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might have been the Holy Spirit. Not sure. I'm a little late to the eight land party, but so glad my son introduced me to it. Thanks for making me laugh on a daily basis. Also, Nate, could you please attempt to say eccess solicities?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that, what is the word? Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes. Oh man, that took a, took showing up to the wrong apartment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's like me knocking on the door and then I look across the street and they're like, no, we're over here. And you go, ah, I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was at the, y'all's house looks the same though. I'm saying Ecclesiastics and Sicilies would live across the street from each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You really have changed. Uh, yeaah, you know, start growing a beard that helps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything else falls apart. You just get older. Everything starts, you start, you become less of an animal. You just start, you know, it just all kind of goes away. And then you're just like, all right, I need to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Try to focus on the career a little bit. That would help out. Uh, maybe he's going to say, let's go folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go, folks. Hello, folks. I like hello, folks, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm fine with either one. I mean, who knows when this episode comes out, we might have already made the decision. I kinda hope it's a let's go, folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I do think it's, I like it being, uh, that's a very original, like that's, no one says that. I do like that. I think that's important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanted to come clean here and let Nate know I must have stolen his cadence and tone unintentionally from listening to the podcast so much. I'm sorry. I will try to talk like him less. Well, Madison, I appreciate that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, Madison, you can have my cadence. Uh, just, uh, with like, uh, three dollars a day. I'll take three dollars the whole day you use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like one of those informers for $3 a day. $3 a day, you can have my cadence. You can sponsor Nate Barghese. And take my cadence. Take it out with me. And solicities. You don't even know how to say stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spencer day as a speech language pathologist working at a specialized stuttering facility facility, just jam them all in a box. Is that what you stutters? They just throw in a facility like a barn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll come out. I have to say, I really appreciate this episode. I generally


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feel like my best work is done on Wednesdays as if I'm already primed by listening to this chaotic mess of a podcast before helping others with speech, language, and communication difficulties. Thanks for the laughs and small highlights to our field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, someone did say that they, someone told me they think I have dyslexia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like, do you get checked for it? Oh, I did it online. I looked up an online thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Send that to his parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andy Asbur, Nate, I'm a huge fan of your comedy and I'm an aspiring comedian myself. I'm trying to learn the ropes and I've listened to every podcast interview of yours I can find. I hear you often talk about the importance of the hang when it comes to being around other comics. I've noticed that you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But people tend to think that I don't get made fun of. I'm getting, I said I get...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people just overlook it. I think maybe it's because when I make fun of y'all, it is better than when you make fun of me. And so then it feels like it's heavy handed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's, that's not my fault, y'all are not as good. So what do you want, what is, Andy, what do I need to do when I'm hanging around lesser than...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's the message. You can make fun of a comic. New York is like, look, I do think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You learn to, you gotta learn when to do it. If you're a younger comic, you don't want to come in and just be like you're trying and like it's getting too much. So it's like have fun and make fun of each other. You're going to go harder on the people you're closer to. And then if you are around someone that's older, I do think there's a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you just don't do it as much because they're older than you and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and you're just kind of like, I don't know, it's, yeah, you look at them as like a senior, you know, or something like that. And so you wouldn't go as crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most, so that, and there is a little truth in that, the most you're gonna get is people around the same age starting. Not even age, but comic, comedy age, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those people are gonna, comics are gonna go the hardest after each other. And then I think there is a difference in the fact of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just in your careers, you're gonna, like when I was with, uh, with all the comics that were older than me, if I'm around Burr, if I'm around Burr, like, I don't make fun of Burr a ton. Like I could joke around and make fun of him. I could, but I don't. Like it's, it's uncomfortable. Like it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am like, I don't, I wouldn't in this setting, I'm fine, but I'm not going to do it in a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not even on the same page where they go, I don't even know what you're trying to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And who's reading, uh, yeah, our short articles. Yeah. Whole magazine? No. I don't, do I breeze through a short article? Yeah. Do I get a glimpse of it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember we took Spanish and it was very brief and I don't know how I can say Ola and Agua and stuff, but I don't, I didn't do much with it. So, I didn't take more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I started stand-up comedy where I don't have to read. I did it so much so that I got out of it. I think there's yes on the, what is that? I mean, what are the other yeses you haven't said?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. I was being nice on some of these. I mean, it's for my health, so you don't have to be nice. So it is, do I have it? Well, the self-assessment, I am 10 for 10 on yeses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you supposed to do? You have dyslexia. What does that mean? I thought it meant you read stuff backwards. It's like you just look at stuff wrong. God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got everybody grabs to breathe right before they sit down. Uh, yeah. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You really answered it, so you've gotten better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it, what are they, do they just take you out in a barn and shoot you like a horse? Like I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since Nate hates let's go, I would like to get his take on the fan who yells, get in the hole on every putt during golf tournaments. They do it on team shots too. Uh, yeah, it's ridiculous. Here's my thing with sayings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I, that I truly believe. If you hear it so much, don't be the one that says it. Come up with a different thing. That's all, that's all that you gotta do. That's almost like, you see homeless guys have funny signs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's a, for a while you're like, I've already seen that sign, dude. Like, and so it's like, but when the guy has this super.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kind of understand Baba Booey because it's Howard Stern, they're trying to, you know, Howard Stern usually like shows, plays that. But, uh, it's, uh, yeah, I don't, I don't, I come up with the original one. That's all I would say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. They haven't heard, let's go folks. Or maybe, yeah. Hello folks, hello folks on a, could be good on a golf tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Colt Keller. Hey, Nate and crew. Love the episodes and just the random things y'all banter about. The more I've listened, the more I'm convinced that Nate and I would probably be great friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] McDonald's, golf, and random rants to get serious about nothing. Keep it up guys. PS Gout isn't a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm 28 and I've dealt with it since I was 19. It's definitely something you don't want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna take a less, uh, test on if you got gout or not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Do you have trouble reading? Oh no. Do you wear Walmart slippers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marion Scott Lusk. Lusk. Like the Lusk mattress. I challenge Nate to not touch his microphone for 60 seconds or be nice to breakfast for 60 seconds. Your choice. Uh, I do touch it, but I think a lot of people do. I won't touch the microphone for 60 seconds. Uh, easiest question ever been asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uncomfortable questions or topics back to your own style of humor, deflecting the topic to something else. Just wondering if that was something you developed over time. Uh, yeah. Yeah, it would have been. I mean, just over the years of, I'm not gonna go there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so you just make a joke on whatever they're gonna talk about. People are pretty good, Sigur and them are pretty good with, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, me and him talk a little bit, like we're friends, like I think we both are very interested, uh, we, you know, like, I don't know where we're at in our careers and both as comics, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, I really liked our conversation on there because we talked a lot about comedy and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but yeaah, yeaah, you do get, you did get good at it. I mean, I, you know, I don't think it's like you intentionally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess you are, you do work at it, you get good at it. It's like I always think something like it's like I specifically work on this thing, but it's like, yeah, I mean, I had to do it every comedy show I ever did in New York going up. I mean, I was following.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody's dirty closer with a clean opener because that would be next. And so it would just be like, you have to figure out how to like, how do I get these people into switching gears?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you do that. But I mean, they would get, you know, Tom and them are so, Tom and Christina are so great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sean Moose, the Michael Scott quote perfectly describes what it's like to listen to Nate Reed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like an improv conversation. An improvisation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Glenn Whelan, hello folks! I created the Dateland theme park in a video game called Planet Coaster. I just wanted to show you guys how much you are all


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appreciate it and congratulate you on the first anniversary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this, this video is, uh, is this on YouTube? Uh huh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So will people be able to play this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's awesome, man. That is awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, see, we're, we're posting out that people see it. I mean, that's so cool, dude. Like, that's, uh, you know, it shows you. You can make a theme park out of nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would people go to this theme park? I want a theme park now. I never not wanted one. And it would be, uh, the entrance would be, the word E would be spelled backwards. A little nod to the dyslexia that I died from. And I didn't survive. He died of dyslexia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, alright, this week, uh, uh, since we, this is, we'll be coming out in a few weeks, uh, so I don't know when, but we are going to talk about discoveries. Discoveries. Like I just discovered I have dyslexia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but they're not discovery. I would, you know, that's, you know, if you're Columbus and you, the guy next to him goes, well, I discovered a $20 million block of last night. And you're like, all right, we taking a little steam away from liberty there. I discovered America or whatever he discovered America, right? People use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean just talk, it's like people get sick and they take medicine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe assume some so you don't point out too much. Do I get made fun of?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. If it's like, is the penicillin family, do they get, are they good? Are they set? Like his family should be set forever, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So the Fleming family should be, if you're Fleming, like we got, I would hope so, dude. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What sir Alexander, where was he at? Uh, Scottish. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, I wonder if they make, you know, it's like, is that like, but it's pharmacy money even, you know. Big Pharma. Big Pharma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, why didn't he sell this to, uh, Pfizer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. It's the greatest thing. It's the, it's the point of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that, but if you have something like that, if it's, it's, you know, look, if it's to cure gout, don't spill the beans. I get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but if it's the main thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, so it's like, you can look at stuff, there's plenty of money to be made off vaccines or whatever. So it's like, yeah, let's, uh, let's make the other one a little more available.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. They don't even do, do they do commercials for? I guess they totally, oh yeaah. All the time. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's when they had to do it. And they go, do you still do it now? You go, surprise me, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh, who'da, who'da thought? Who'da fuck it? There it goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember watching that live. I did not take steroids. I remember watching that live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know who I never thought did anything was, uh, what's the guy for the, uh, rumors? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so you didn't think that, and then, I mean, and it just came out and you were like, oh, this guy. And they just crushed him. Immediately just said, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I always think like, I like when someone says like they should be, uh, just put them in a different section or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's like you don't take them out of the, you know, the Hall of Fame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, but I get it's tough, like the guys that, that did, uh, played fairly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I understand, I understand that like the, the toughness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it is funny that you go, all right, dude, every time you go back and go, let's just let him in. Let's relook at the case. What did he do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? Like that's, and it's still like, dude, I just been on my team. You're like, well, how do we ever know that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you go look at it, I, I, I would say let him in. Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I would think every time you go, cause you get removed from it. And I think every time you go, all right, let me look at what his case was again. He bet on the games he played in. And we, and then, and then someone's like, well, he only bet on his team. You're like, so who said that? Him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told us that he only bet on the games he played in. That's a lot of trust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, you know, I have nothing against P. Rose. I think he should be in it. But it, but I do understand the, I bet every time you go look at it, you would be like, we just can't do like, he's bad on these guys. It's the main thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shoeless Joe Jackson. That was the whole thing. And you got them out. Right? They made a movie about him. Didn't they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Married to an inventor. It's a lot of like golf free, like I think I got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I think it's a lot of switching, you know? It's like I'm doing a radar thing. You're like, oh, that's great, man. That's cool. And then like a week later, what are you doing? He's like, yeah, the radar thing in my room. We'll do a thing that heats up food. And you go, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's like, you know, you go from respecting the guy to then go not respecting to then that guy is the most respectful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he just said, you know, I was talking about the radar thing and it's kind of off that now. And like these guys that invent stuff, you are always just kind of throwing stuff out and you just tolerate it. You know, at first you're like, oh, that's cool, man. And then there's probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Years of just garbage. You have nothing working. Nothing. And you're like, all right, yeah, okay, dude. And then he tells you, we worked this radar thing forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he's like, I'm going to heat up food quick in a microwave. And you're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care. I don't. And you just hope that's not the time you do it. Cause then that becomes huge. Yeah. And then you're like, you gotta then be- Should've believed in him one more time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's this guy, I mean, like, is this guy, look up his net worth. Percy Spencer. Percy Spencer's net worth. I mean, the microwave, can you, is it something that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can, as one of the richest inventors, yeaah, at 1.5 million dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used it, uh, last, yesterday. Used it every day. Yeah, it's pretty, it's a pretty, uh, it's a big one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and touch the side of it. Doesn't someone have a joke about that? Oh no. Yeah. Alright. Good night.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For speakers and for comedy or anything, I think it's one of the worst sayings you could ever have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because people don't want to know that we're not, like, are you gonna come back to it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'll just do the, do the chapters. If I read, you know, if you're going to do it, just do it. But if you, you know, you start something like, oh, we went to the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much later on are we gonna get, like, I don't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, thing to say. I don't think people look forward to it. Like they don't go, I can't wait till we get back to that. They like lean forward? Oh yeaah. Okay. Of this, you know, you're competing against a movie, uh, Transformers on a movie screen. Let me get back, we're gonna get back to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well they were figuring out everything out above ground. So they weren't looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they did a pretty good job. And then they, you wanted them to start digging too. It wasn't enough, you know, that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then that's where you find him, is he dig a basement. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's their vacation. Cause I'd imagine what vacation you're gonna, they're gonna have. I think vacation then would be some leisurely selling coffee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys know JJ Reddick on his podcast. We need to go back to back with those two. The story reminded me of JJ Reddick, his local pastor in, uh, Lebanon, Tennessee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it would be discovered. So it's like, so you think they went around and planted all the bones of the dinosaurs? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess. It wouldn't make sense. Like that, I don't, look, I'm all about going to look at some weird website and I'm all bored. If he doesn't believe in dinosaurs, I love it. I'd rather talk to him about not believing in dinosaurs than someone that does. But that doesn't, that doesn't make a lot of sense. Like his statement for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The word sky. That'd be like not believing in sky, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guy looked up. Cause you ever looked up? Yea, what is this? Yea, it's like nothing. No, no, no, but I think there's something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who would it disagree with them? JJ Reddick. JJ Reddick for one. I don't know if it's generally agreed on. I don't know if we, is there a topic that we all? What do you mean? I don't know. It's just a funny way to put it just to go. I think we all agree. I think everyone agrees that these doves are dinosaurs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And be like, I think, isn't that kind of... You're sincerely asking. I think we can agree to disagree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, generally agree. Nah, I just like the term. I like saying generally agree. I think that's funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be like that big of a thing. I think generally we all agree that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that's, I mean Jim Degree I think is literally probably the start of every war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm discovering it right now. Where's a mountain of gorilla? The mountain gorilla? Yea, is the gorilla just in the mountains?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. It's a monster, we just saw a monster. Which what if the Bigfoot stuff is still just these gorillas? Like still the story of how we described these gorillas is the linger, the story of these gorillas is still lingering, but we've moved, everybody just thinks it's not talking about gorillas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, cause no one thinks, they're like, well it's not grilled as you're like, no, but it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And well, they've kept going with the story, so now, well, we know gorillas exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the story of Bigfoot has now become a thing. Cause you go out in the woods, you can hear anything. You can hear anything you want to hear. Pretty crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we've just convinced ourselves, and if you believe that it's, you know, everybody says they saw one, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who, yeah, who talked to him? One of them talked to him, right? Some, somebody? Rob Williams. Jane Goodall. Rob Williams. And Rob Williams. Yeah. We sent Rob Williams. Why? We sent him to the Grillis. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty special guy, Rob Williams. Kinda crazy when you think of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But where, but you don't see them here, but they're, they're, they're super dangerous. Like, uh, with their tails and stuff too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, their tails are, yeah. I mean, they're, they're, their mouths are just filled with, uh, I mean, just all the viruses. I mean, basically everything. Yeah. COVID, flu, common cold, headache, gout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, just the nonsense that guy comes off. You just picture, like, I think they're drunk the whole time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, go back out, there's a giant squid and you're like, Oh God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is this? A squid. Gave birth to the alien. Alien that serves me in my coffee?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They let the bark actually got built. I couldn't believe it. And we're actually, and it's all, it gets taken down. All of it. All of it. They drum up this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we have O Planets? Yeah. Oh, start, uh, we, yeah, we ate, we used to thought we had nine because of Pluto. Okay. So we're all kind of forgetting Pluto quite easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always forget Mercury. Mercury? Well, who cares about Mercury? There's nothing going on. You know, weirdly I forget about Neptune.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, that's what I mean, these scientists, you know, they, you can just say whatever, like who cares? Like they, they go, we believe there's probably billions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No way for us to ever- Who's gonna count it? No. Nobody can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm not saying that there's not, but it's like just being like, yeah, dude, it's nuts. I would like them to go like, I, we don't know, but it's, it's probably wild, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ocean is probably where the most stuff is that we don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's so much stuff we don't know. That's weird. That's crazy. It's a pretty big, imagine misplacing like, it's like not finding your couch in your house. If you walked in and you go, dude, that couch, it was in the closet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Scooter Braun's, uh, Shay's person too. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Yeah. He was the guy on the first YouTube and uh, still does it. I mean, still just, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like someone we talk, they have no, he has, you know, his reality. I mean you make more money than your parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you're, like wildly more money than your, than your family. Like the dynamic there has got to be, how old was he? 12, 13? 13. 13. The dynamic is just crazy. And you're, you know, this, those kids, they're just so young, but he seems kind of normal now. How old is he now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, Post Malone's a perfect example of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but it is like the, when I, when I was in New York and when we were out, we were drinking every single night, my old videos you can see, all the old stuff that I post, that's all just cause you're, you know, it's not like you're, you're just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having some beers every night. That stuff, that's what happens and that's postponed. That guy's 25 years old. That's, I look like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, and then you stop drinking and you look, if Post Malone quit drinking, he would look amazing. Look his face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like everything, alcohol just, all that stuff goes away. It just kind of comes in a little bit. You can still get it eating bad. Obviously, like I've still, not like I've lost everything, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like you just get sucked up a little bit without alcohol. You don't, you don't get, that's, that's, I, I mean, you know, I don't get, post-blown people get mad, but they're, but I, that's what that, I mean, I just can see it. That's crazy for a guy to be 25.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Austin Richard Post. Oh, that's a great name. Austin Richard Post. So where'd the Malone come from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Austin Post, even if it was Austin Post, would be a pretty good rap name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Richie Post. I mean, Austin Richard Post is a really good name. Austin's a good name. Uh, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I have a problem with a 20 year old doing that to a 20 year old girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, we'll get to that eventually. That's what that feels like to me. When you see a guy pull out a guitar and you're like, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do not like it. You did it all the time, didn't you? No, no. You had to go get their piano and they're like, guys, can I get a hand? And then y'all have to carry it into the like little short steps because you can't really move a piano because it's awkward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They still do. They still, yeaah. So Dave Matthews got started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean that would, I would go with like, I mean her, her mom and they're still talk, right? Like, oh yeah. They're super close. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it would have been quite embarrassing if they said, you want any of this, uh, and passed on bruschetta cheese. They go, do you want some bruschetta? And I go, I'm on no dairy, please. And they go, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50 grand, 1%, never come back here and say you sold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty good. Who was Sam Phillips? Was that the crazy manager? No, it was Colonel Parker. Oh yea, Colonel Parker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was wild. Like, you know, back in the day, like they were, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing like Taylor Swift, if a guy gets upset about her like deal and stuff like that. But I mean, these guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Johnny Cash I bet was so much to just be around. I mean, he had to be. Just like, ugh. Just the weight of the world at all times. I mean, just going off that movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw him filming something, I think I've said that on here. In, uh, Mount Juliet. Did they film it here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something, he was filming something. I drive by, I'm going to my buddy's house, driving to his house in Mount Juliet. Uh, like, I don't know, I just, I had to be driving, so maybe I'm 17 or 18 or something like that. Uh, so 96, 7 some, and uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he's standing in the back of a train. I drive out, there's just a railroad and there's a, he's like at a caboose. But there's not the whole train there, it's just a caboose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no, no, no. No, no, I'm in the real Johnny Cash. And I just drive by and I look and he's, uh, and it's him all in black. And I thought there was always rumors that he had a house right there or something. He lived in Henderson. Yeah. Yeah, but that one, but then I thought there was something, I don't know. But anyway, I see him just standing on the back of that caboose, big long black trench coat. Just by himself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they were shooting something. I don't know what they were shooting. So you didn't even try to hide. What did, did they have the caboose in uh, what's the last song?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Beatles manager never thought they would make it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's crazy that I have to tell you all that. Like that's just what he has to, I think it's insane that you can't have a plate of spaghetti during a performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, maybe if I've taken a bite of something or if...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe there's like a birthday. No, like no, uh, not for a joke, but like if there was like a birthday or something or there was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where did he, did, cause he's still famous, like. I think he's just famous as the fifth Beatle that got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, that's tough. You would think he would be, is he not, if he's not good enough to be in there, is he good enough to be in, you know, Rolling Stone? Like, is there not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just funny, like I thought it was going to be someone else, like where it's a ridiculous statement and then it's like they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this what they're saying, uh, uh, he wasn't murdered, uh, because of this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the main thing that did it was that. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he was 16. That's crazy. That was the year I went to Montreal. You were new faces that year? I was new faces. Wow. And, uh, he was, uh, yeah, Bo was very nice. And I like Bo. Bo was one of the more original people I've ever seen. And he just has, he has a new special out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, it's just, I mean, he's just like a super talented dude, man, like super.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, his specials are all, I just love what he does and like it's, uh, it's its own thing and I'm way on board with that. Uh, but I was in new faces when he got it. I remember his parents were there with him. He was 16.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was all anybody talked about. It was, that was it. He was the talk of the festival. He was, I mean, he was the talk of everything. Cause he was like blowing up and like all that stuff. And then, I mean, he's, his career has just been pretty flawless in the fact that everything he's done is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's just a super talented guy where he's directed, you know, Chris Rock's or he did Chris Rock's special. He did, uh, Gerard Carmichael's special, uh, in a movie called eighth grade, eighth grade, which was great, which, which one very one, a bunch of stuff is not, was it nominated? He was nominated. Yeah. And then, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and just a bunch of stuff. But yeah, when I was 16, I remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like yeaah, I don't talk to him, I'll text, I'll text with him some, I've seen him when I go out there some, but like we, he's always very nice. He lives in LA? Lives in LA, yeaah, always very nice. And, but he's, uh, yeaah, I mean just, just a different person. I mean just a different, it's a very one of a kind, kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think. But I remember it was all anybody talked about at Just Flaps and that was the year I was there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet you could have found someone that he could have done that with. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's probably a tough situation because, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you don't want to go like, Hey man, why don't you go try basketball? He's like, I did and it didn't work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But back then there's no internet or stuff like, so it probably would be very, you could still say stuff like that and a guy might not know. Right. Now with like phones and internet. I mean, they go to other countries and they find people and they're like, Hey, we think you should, you know, Festus Azili was like that for Vandy. Uh, where'd they get him from? Some African. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Senior year in high school maybe? Yea, I think senior year in high school, then comes and gets drafted in the NBA, like ends up becoming just a dominant player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, uh, he's respected as being the greatest, but I mean, I still don't think he gets as much as he deserves. Like he's better than...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the way, like, Kobe went and worked with him, all these people still go work with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they would all these, you know, uh, like former pros, like the stuff that he was doing. I mean, it was pretty crazy. He was unbelievable. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like there's a lot. I would think that'd be in the Wikipedia page. That'd be pretty crazy if they missed, they didn't put that in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's cool, man. Oh, one thing we forgot. Uh, he was just kicking like on a sidewalk and they found him and you're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the main, that's why Wikipedia is invented is for that, is for specifically that reason. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, take his name out. Oh, David Ruffert. Who was David Ruffert?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a, I imagine just sitting like listening to this podcast and someone goes, God, I got quiet. You go, I know. They go, well, at least what are they looking to find? An intramural field goal kicker for Notre Dame in the nineties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you, I mean, if you're already out, if you're already in, you already pulled it apart, might as well hear out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's an invention. I already discovered, I guess he discovered accidentally. By accidentally. Probably every invention is like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can tell you where I lost it. In this episode. Would it be your first Netflix? Probably the most discovered. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like almost, I think it's Tennessee Kid. It's gotta be the, even more than the standups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As when there's the most, but I think that's where a comic is your, I think it's gathering. You're gathering just a lot. And so like a lot of people do know before, but the, it's like the most where you kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are in like a little more, I guess, mainstream of a kind of thing, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I mean, I remember, uh, like I don't know of friends, but I remember Aziz, Aziz Ansari, Aziz Ansari was doing, uh, open mics. We were doing open mics together. And then he was like, next thing I knew he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On that Human Giant show and then he was hosting the MTV Movie Awards and it was like, what? I remember he got passed to the Comedy Cellar and it was just like, he was gone. Uh, Schumer, Amy, Amy was kind of around, we're all doing kind of whatever shows and then she gets on Howard Stern and she started like, you know, last comic and then it was just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember him from New York, I mean from Chicago, and then we go to, uh, then I remember he comes to New York, and I think he was already doing maybe a one man show or something, I thought someone said, and it was like, alright, he's like doing something, and then, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the big one Stephen Wright was with Carson, his, uh, they asked him to come back. Carson like asked him maybe two or three times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Like the next night to come back. And so that was a big one for, as like, I don't know, Steven Wright, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carson was the discovery for comedians and that, I think Steven Wright had a pretty unique


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like he was like, come back and he came back and then destroyed the second time. And I think like he had to, you know, go try set out and all this stuff. I mean the pressure of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And it's like, I mean, that's so many people are watching that show back then. Like, uh, uh, I tried to think, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I would say, I mean, for me, balancing my set was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That put everything in motion. I mean, that was, it was like, stuff was still going good. It's not, that's the thing is like when someone makes it or someone, they have a thing, it's not like they are just like, I mean, you're not,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Fallon came in and saw me randomly at that club, I mean, that's when it all just kind of changed. Like it all, I was then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got with him, I started doing that show, we started selling TV, you know, we tried to pitch TV shows, we started selling TV shows. It's like you just got, I got into a new world and like you're, so that, I mean Fallon was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, that would be that. He came in, he saw that set, but that's the, what they always say, it's like preparation meets opportunity. And like, and it's weird to talk about this and I'm talking about it, but I don't know how else to do it. You guys have not made it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or at least getting close. We were about to start. I was going to be able to do some of the easy theaters, like the, you know, Chicago, there's the Vic Wilbur at in Boston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, both amazing theaters, not like they're hard theaters, but it's like theaters that have, they have a following. The theater does, and people, and they're great, great comedy towns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you could do some, I was starting to be able to do some stuff like that, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compiles on itself, like where you're, uh, where that happens. Yeah. When he tweeted that, that was like when Twitter like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he called me, yeah, Nate or Nick, but he mentioned me and then I did the podcast. Not too long after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't think he called me Nick on Twitter. I think he, he like added me correctly. Right. But he's like, oh, but he's, but yeah, he was like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he said something like that. It was one of the funniest comics he's seen in years. And he's never really said anything like that. Right. And, uh, and his podcast was huge. And it just, you know, he's kind of going. And then that was, that was, uh, when it all kind of started. Like it was, uh, that was, that was a, it was a big, big thing. Like a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I remember getting texts. I remember getting, everybody going crazy. They're like, dude, he just tweeted about you. And that was, I mean, dude, Twitter was, it just meant way more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Yeaah, I mean yeaah, probably was doing something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, then Rogan now. I felt that last time I did Rogan, when I did, when I just did Rogan. Now you can tell sometimes, like if I go to Segura's podcast, there's a lot of people that I get introduced to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their audience is much bigger. He's got a huge, huge audience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but it's like, you can tell like where, you know, it's like all that stuff just adds up where you can, you just, it's like, you're just getting seen here and here. And there's, and it's like, there's, there is, there's these pops where it's like, all right, this is a swing. You things, you know, I always say like, things are getting crazy. Like you can feel things just get a little crazier. Like a little more stuff happens that you're like, all right, I've never really seen that or felt that. You know, these, this tour, this Rain Check tour, we're adding shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which is due to everybody listening to this and, uh, but it's like, yeah, it gets kind of crazy where you're like, wow, we're adding all these shows and doing all these things and you're, you know, the Ryman and Grand Ole Opry and, you know, back to back nights and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It all just like slowly, you know, but you, I don't think you sit there and you ever feel like you're like, Oh, I'm done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you don't feel like that. Like that's, that's the hard part. Sometimes you talk about like wanting to make it or you're, you still got this drive and everybody's like, oh well, they're like, I would kill to have like your career. And you're like, but you don't, but I don't just give up. I don't then go like, all right, I got it. I'm gonna relax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still don't think I've made it. Like, you know, I know I have made it, but I haven't made it. Like, I'm not there, like I'm not Seinfeld, I'm not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I haven't made it, but you know, it's like when someone else is like, thanks that you're, you know, it's tough. That's always a hard part for people when you do do it. Cause then you lose people to talk to because they're like, well, I wish I would have made it. And you're like, I haven't made it though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I mean, I've made it in, yeah, we're all here, but it's like, I'm still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still got this next special, it's gotta still be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, still gotta be, I still wanna go, I wanna sell out Bridgestone, I wanna go sell out Madison Square Garden, I wanna see if I can get to that point and do all that stuff. Well that's not, then I haven't made it, where I wanna make it, but in theory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the opportunity. Yeah. Right. Luck is opportunity. Yeah. It's like, you gotta be, I, I, dude, I remember when Fallon came in, it was, it's like, you know, we talked about Yannis, Yannis is here and like, it was, uh, Yannis was there and it's like, I, I mean, I was very ready for him to see me do 10 minutes.

[Assistant] I was going to murder for those 10 minutes because it was like, I knew it was like there, which I think I've talked about when he came back and saw me the second time at Gotham, uh, you know, where it's, you know, like you just knew, I knew I could like, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew I was gonna murder and you're just gonna come out and it's gonna be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, that's not where you're trying to feel like you're overconfident and you're bragging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't really come from that space, but you come from a very confident space into going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm ready for this. I knew the set. You're like, I know the set I'm going to do. I have enough. I in 10 minutes, you know, you're like, I can kill easily for 10 minutes. Uh, I can kill pretty hard for 10 minutes. And so it was like, you knew, you know, you knew you could within the opportunity came and that's what you're all you're being ready for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If anybody's doing comedy or anything else, just that's the thing. Don't be, don't go looking for the opportunity. The opportunity will come and it will happen on its own. Be great and be undeniable and like work on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like you don't ever know when you're going to get hit. Like you don't know what's going to happen. So just do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And be ready for whatever situation comes. And then when that situation comes, and if it's the right time, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Uh, cause there's times where you think that was the right time and then it wasn't. And then you, then when that time comes, you're ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But don't go, can't people, I think people can sometimes search for, uh, opportunity too much. Like they think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I did too. I'm not saying, so I'm not saying don't do that. I understand you're going to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's, I don't like to always, I don't like to, everybody's gotta find their own path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, so I don't mean like if you're sitting there going like, don't be an idiot. And you know, someone's like, we think violence coming down and you're like, I don't know if I'm going to go. Like don't be, but I'm just saying be worrying about whatever your act is or whatever your thing is. Make sure that's great. And then when someone comes in to somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then if they vouch for you and you do good for them, that's how you get vouched to other people. Cause then other people are like, no, I can, and that's why I'm filing. I was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They went through all these bookers until they got, uh, Michael Cox, uh, now, who's been there now for a while and he's amazing. But all the bookers, I was like everybody's first comment on Fallon because it was like they knew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was like, you know, it's like you do that, where it's like people can rely on you and they're like, alright, I know this dude's gonna do good. Not gonna be a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. That's friend of a lot of, yeaah. Friend of a lot of people. Uh, yeaah. Getting in front of all those people. Like, you know, open them for Chris Rock. Getting in front of all those people. That stuff all matters. Like getting in front of all those audiences. That stuff has come around. That comes around more than you think. It's just getting in front of those audiences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you don't really think about it, you think about it more about opening for the person. You're like, I'm getting to open for Chris Rock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you look back and you have people come to shows and they're like, we saw you at Chris Rock. And like, it's a lot of, and you're like, oh, it's like the amount of people, cause you know, it's just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Word of mouth is basically how, is, is even probably the biggest I've had. But it's, it's people just passing along and like, and that, that spreads so much and that, that can never be taken away from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A vouch from a friend, like if a, like if a person sits there and it goes, my good buddy says, and I trust him, he says this guy's great. That goes so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need the help of everybody else, but like that's, the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people watching and listening, people listen to them more than they listen to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, some guy they don't know. But if they, if they tell me, and then they want to be the one that tells you, you know, how fun is it to tell someone about someone? That's the funnest part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why we, that's the whole reason you even like watching stuff is one reason is to go like, you gotta see this thing. Cause then you're like, you, you feel like a little like, dude, you told me about this. That's crazy. That stuff is, we have it with movies. We have it with artists. We have it with everything. You want to be that person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My parents had, if I wanted to see a movie, they had like two families that they would call and just see like, what are your thoughts? Are you letting your kid do this? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I could always be like, it was the Glomboskis was their name. And they wouldn't let me do something. I go, well, Josh gets to do it. And they're like, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we'll let you do it. See, your parents just kinda got lazy about calling. Yeah, they just trusted that family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get that. When I watch stuff with, uh, with Lucy, I get furious the way kids talk to their parents in some of these movies. And I go, dude, does anyone talk to their family like this? I just, I've never seen it.
