00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:09.439
I still speaking that that should not have made it
2
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.880
to the rest of us this Inside Thoughts. Let's get to.
3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.679
Check check check one, two three. We're live, baby, Welcome
4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.879
back to Inside Thoughts. Thank you for pressing play. Got
5
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:24.800
a cool interview for you at the end of the
6
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.519
podcast with comedian Ryan good Case. Got to talk to
7
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.600
him a little while back when he came to Indie Dude,
8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.200
super funny and he's got some Texas dates. He'll be
9
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:41.000
in Chicago Atlanta, so if you're listening anywhere around there,
10
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.600
go see him. You can get all the dates at
11
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.399
Ryan good Caase on Instagram. But how you doing all right?
12
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.840
You're having a good start to the week. The weather's
13
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.399
finally getting nice, creeping up into the eighties. The NBA
14
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.799
Finals are starting this week and the Thunder will not
15
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.399
be playing in it. Thank god, dude. I was hoping
16
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.840
so bad that the Spurs beat them, because I would
17
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:10.680
not have watched one second of a Thunder Knicks finals. Well,
18
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.200
that means you just don't like basketball. No, I'm just
19
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.519
like not gonna sit here and watch Jaywen Brunson and
20
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.519
the whole Thunder team just flop and fall down and
21
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:26.079
basically just argue with refs all game, go fucking play. Dude.
22
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:28.519
I'm starting to sound like an old guy, but like
23
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.439
it pissed me off. You just watch that game, You're like, okay, well,
24
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.439
obviously this is this has got to be a monetary thing.
25
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.359
Like there's something wrong because my eyes aren't deceiving me
26
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:45.920
that badly. Like the team that's playing against the thunder
27
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.640
goes down, they don't get a call. Okay, see he
28
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.159
goes the other way. They get breathed on, or somebody
29
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.719
you know, grazes a nipple and it's like, oh, that's
30
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:59.040
a faun. It's just like, dude, come on, man, what
31
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.280
are we doing? I want to watch I want to
32
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:07.079
watch basketball. Man. Honestly, this uh, these playoffs have kind
33
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.280
of gone the way I needed him to as a fan,
34
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.319
Like I'm a Cavs fan, but you know, Calves weren't
35
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.479
gonna win a title this year, not with playoff James
36
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.960
Harden and playoff Donovan Mitchell. I thought two negatives make
37
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:26.840
a positive. Not in real life, maybe in math. Math's theoretical. Bro.
38
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.479
I think that might be the dumbest thing I've ever said.
39
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.919
But no, like the Calves lose, so now they're gonna
40
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.319
make some changes because Dan Gilbert wants to make uh,
41
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.759
he wants to win one more finals before he dies,
42
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.680
and he's he's turned into a great owner. You know,
43
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.599
he got a too well, too weird the first time
44
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.840
Lebron left, but he apologized Calvs got a Finals and
45
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.080
he did the cool shit like he was sending uh
46
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.400
season ticket holders up to Detroit so that Cavs fans
47
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.680
would be in the stands. That was cool. And the
48
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:09.599
Lakers lost, but Lebron looked good and his contracts up,
49
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:15.039
so I'm thinking Lebron comes back. Also, they could get
50
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:21.759
Giannis just create a super team, which come on, one
51
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.080
more super team for Bron. Let him get one more
52
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.919
ring his last season and then drop the documentary as
53
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:33.120
soon as he's done. Be pretty awesome. Can we get
54
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.400
Ai to just make the documentary as soon as the
55
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.319
last second of his career is over? Can we do that?
56
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.719
Just saying like, I'm glad that Wemby is getting to
57
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.039
go to the finals. I hope he wins too. Like
58
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.000
it's funny, I'm already seeing the discourse on Twitter on
59
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.360
NBA Twitter of you know, it's always Jordan or Lebron.
60
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.120
Well now, everybody sees how good Wemby is, and the
61
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.879
Lebron fans that are my age are starting to go, well,
62
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.599
Wemby's got a better supporting cast. So even if he
63
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.000
wins one at twenty two and he's not gonna be
64
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:12.960
as good as Lebron, it's like, what are you doing? Bro?
65
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.120
This happens like you get a once in a generation
66
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.920
player that when you grow up watching you're like, this
67
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.759
is the best person I've ever seen play basketball. It's like, yeah,
68
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.279
no shit, you've only been alive to see this person
69
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:31.279
play basketball. And Lebron has played long enough that he
70
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.879
has played into the next generational player. Normally, somebody retires
71
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.319
and you got like a five ten year gap before
72
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:44.399
another generational player pops up. But Lebron keeps playing, and
73
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.600
a lot of these kids, they've only fucking seen old Lebron. Huh,
74
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.600
you don't remember him pre COVID. Honestly, some of y'all
75
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.600
probably don't remember him from COVID. The Bubble ring was
76
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.319
a fraud, No, it wasn't. It's great hoops, that was
77
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.879
ethical hoops. Like this bullshit that Oklahoma City and the
78
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:08.120
New York Necks are playing. I'm starting to sound like
79
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.720
that old guy dude. Well, back when I watched, back
80
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:16.560
when I watched basketball, they played basketball. That's whatever. Okay,
81
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.120
see like sucks though that's not me being an old guy.
82
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.439
They would git just fucking suck to watch. It's not fun.
83
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.480
And the thing is, like everybody was going, well, San
84
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.240
Antonio's won a bunch of championships. Don't you think you'd
85
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.920
be better if the Oklahoma City fans they got to
86
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.439
experience multiple championships. No, because they showed us what kind
87
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.959
of people they were when they won their first one.
88
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.839
Everybody liked Okasee. When it was Durant, Harden and Westbrook,
89
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.399
they were like the young up and comers and they
90
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.920
never got one because Durant decided to you know, ruin
91
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.959
basketball for a few years. But everybody was like, oh,
92
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.120
you know what, maybe okay se does deserve one. They
93
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.040
didn't deserve it. Last year, Haliburton get it's hurt. Pacers
94
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:05.600
were gonna win that thunder just they've been flopping in
95
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.800
their fans. They're shameless. You know. It's one thing to
96
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.959
just be like, yeah, you know, our team gets the
97
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.199
benefit of the doubt, but fucking it's awesome. I like
98
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.720
seeing my team win. They don't have that. They go, well,
99
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:22.040
when everybody else dogs it, nobody says anything. But when
100
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.000
we do it, you just hate us because we're winner.
101
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.439
That kind of shit. I'm like, Okay, you're either twelve
102
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.160
years old or you're you're dumb. You know what I mean.
103
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.439
There's no in between, even though being twelve years old
104
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.240
and dumb is the same thing. There's forty five year
105
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.399
old OKC fans that I see on the internet. They're
106
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.920
just like, you guys, just hate us because you hate us.
107
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.519
It's like, no, because watching this is giving my eyes aids. Dude,
108
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.639
I don't want to watch this. It's terrible. Man, Damn,
109
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.360
certain sound like an old guy though. I'll tell you
110
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.360
what I did have like an old guy moment. I
111
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:01.360
read this article that says they're thinking about making The Godfather.
112
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.800
I'll tell you what that might be the movie that
113
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.079
I get real Republican about, you know what I mean?
114
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.279
Where they start recasting characters and why is Salvator Tesio
115
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.839
trans you know where I really care. For some reason,
116
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:24.360
you can't have black little mermaids. But basically, they're trying
117
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:30.240
to redo The Godfather from the perspective of Connie Corleone,
118
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.800
which would be kind of interesting. But you know, if
119
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.360
they if they make if they make some changes. You know,
120
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.000
Michael Corleone secretly likes Penis like that kind of stuff.
121
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.079
I'm just you don't need to do it, you know
122
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.120
what I mean. It doesn't do anything to the story.
123
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.959
I'm telling you, man, that's gonna be my one thing
124
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:54.199
where I get roll old and white about. You can't
125
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.480
change my favorite movie. Next it's going to be Good Fellas.
126
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.879
Joe Patty's characters gonna be No, I'm not gonna do that,
127
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.720
all right. There is some good news, though, you know,
128
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.800
there's a lot of good video game news. Grand Theft
129
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.079
Auto six. They finally like put it in stone. It's
130
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.000
coming out in November. I'm gonna go ahead and take
131
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.279
some vacation days. She's gonna sit around and play. I
132
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.519
told my girlfriend that that I was gonna take vacation
133
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.079
days to play a video game, and I just like
134
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.639
I saw the love and respect that she had for
135
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.639
me leave her eyes when I said that. I mean,
136
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.360
like I kind of get it, but also like, you know,
137
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.919
been waiting for this game for what fifteen years? When
138
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.720
did when did GTA five come out. Was that twenty thirteen.
139
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.639
I don't even remember, but I remember waiting outside of
140
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.840
Game Stop to go get that. You can't wait outside
141
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.279
of Game Stop to get anything anyway. You gotta download
142
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.480
it digitally because if you buy the disc, well what
143
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.039
are you gonna do. You're gonna sell it back for
144
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.080
four bucks. You bought a seven Probably this game is
145
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.039
gonna cost one hundred dollars. I'm not gonna trade it
146
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.600
back in like this. This might be the last Grand
147
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:08.519
Theft Auto I get, or the last one I see
148
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.200
in my lifetime, because you know, if they keep compounding
149
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.240
the years of time that it takes to make these games,
150
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.039
the next Grand Theft Auto is gonna come out when
151
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.840
I'm sixty seven years old. I'm sorry I did that.
152
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.480
I ain't feel good about it either. But GTA six
153
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:29.240
that got confirmed, and then they just announced because Toy
154
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.279
Story five is coming out, so they're doing like this
155
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:37.240
big push and promo for Toy Story. They're remastering all
156
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.639
of the old Toy Story games that were on like
157
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:45.399
Sega and PlayStation and PlayStation two, like all those games
158
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.360
they're bundling up that you can get and that's coming
159
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.600
out in October. There's a lot of good games, and
160
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.240
then the new Call of Duty. I gotta look this up.
161
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.559
I have not gotten excited for a Call of Duty
162
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.840
game since war Zone COVID, because even before that, I
163
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.240
was like, bro, they just keep they just keep putting
164
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.759
out some bullshit. And then my cousin was like, oh, no,
165
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.000
man's this one's pretty good. Modern Warfare three I think
166
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.320
that's what it was. They came out in twenty nineteen
167
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:15.879
years like, it's pretty good. You go to get it,
168
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.080
and I was like, now, then COVID happened and they
169
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.000
dropped war Zone and I was like, all right, it's free,
170
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.840
we're getting it. And then I had to level up
171
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.639
my gun. So I went and got Modern Warfare three
172
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.960
and it was a good game. That was the last
173
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.399
good one they made, and then they turned it into
174
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.960
Fortnite the last couple of years. But the new Call
175
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:39.039
Duty that's coming out takes place in like Vietnam or no,
176
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:45.000
it's Korea. It's another Modern Warfare. But they tweeted out
177
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:49.039
the official Call Duty twitter page said we got the feedback,
178
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.360
no bs, this is all about staying true to Modern Warfare.
179
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.519
No clowny skins for launch and seasons beyond, No Lady
180
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.679
Got Got, no Omni Man, no Teletubbies, no SpongeBob, the receipts.
181
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:08.559
So they're talking big shit. This might be a good game. So, ladies,
182
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:10.519
if you're listening, first of all, thank you. I don't
183
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.240
know why you're listening to this. But secondly, give your boyfriends,
184
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.720
give your husbands, give your man children some grace because
185
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.080
there's a lot of good video games coming out in
186
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:25.840
the fall, and also NCAA twenty seven's coming out in
187
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:30.799
a few weeks and it looks sick too, So I'm
188
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:36.120
gonna have to I'm gonna have to tell Aimes that, hey, look,
189
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.159
I need some time to just rop my eyes playing
190
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.720
these games. I don't know what you want me to do.
191
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:45.639
I gotta do it. We did. We are going and
192
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.559
doing something that you really want to do this weekend.
193
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.440
We're going to New York for a high rocks competition
194
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:55.279
and it's gonna kick my ass. She's actually in shape.
195
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.879
I'm so scared of it. It's basically like a super
196
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:04.720
like CrossFit competition that takes an hour and a half
197
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.120
to do. You got to run like, I don't know,
198
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.360
eight miles or something. But after you run a mile,
199
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.759
you have to stop and like push a sled three
200
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:18.840
hundred yards, or do twenty lunges or a farmer's carry,
201
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.639
or you gotta row like two thousand yards like shit
202
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.039
like that. That takes an hour and a half hour,
203
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.679
forty five minutes. It's gonna kill me, dude. So if
204
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.120
there's no podcast next Tuesday, it's not because work was
205
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.559
beating my ascids. Because I'm dead. I didn't have the
206
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:39.159
cardio to do it. That's what I've been told my
207
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:40.919
buddies that I was like, yeah, I'm going to New York.
208
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:42.679
They're like, oh cool, what are you doing? Stand up
209
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.679
like no high rocks fitness competition and they're like huh.
210
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.360
I'm like yeah. I made Aims a deal for every
211
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.120
thirty comedy shows of mind that she comes to, she
212
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:58.639
gets to pick one. Oh man, she's she's a good
213
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:02.000
one though. She she came to my show an Accron.
214
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:07.240
I got the headline at the Killbox Comedy Club, brand
215
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.639
new club and Accron it's super cool. So if you're
216
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.639
in Northeast Ohio, go to the Killbox Comedy Club. They
217
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.440
got really good people coming through and it's a super
218
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.320
cool club. You walk in and it just looks like
219
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:24.080
a comedy club. Man. It's really awesome. But the problem
220
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.480
I have is, you know, the jokes were working, but
221
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.639
the ticket sales. I'm telling you what, the business side
222
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.840
of comedy I am not great at because I don't
223
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:38.399
like promoting myself. So did you sell a bunch of tickets?
224
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:38.519
No?
225
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.919
I did not, But I had fun. You know, it
226
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.799
was a nice learning experience on the business side of comedy.
227
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.519
I'm still at that point where it's like, if I
228
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.360
go somewhere to do a show, I got to ask,
229
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.440
like the booker the club. I'm like, you guys have
230
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:57.960
a really deep interactive email list, right because nobody gives
231
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.360
a fuck who I am. Like, if you show up
232
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.639
to a show that I'm on, I'll make you laugh.
233
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.480
You're just not coming to see me. Oh man. It was.
234
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.600
It was a lot of fun though, and got high
235
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.759
rocks this weekend and then I'll be back in Northeast
236
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.600
Ohio the weekend after that. I want to say, it's
237
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:25.360
June twelfth, I'm gonna be in Chagrin Falls, just you know,
238
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.120
doing a spot hosting. But it'll be a really good show.
239
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:35.519
But yeah, just follow me on Instagram. At Nick on air, Jordan,
240
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.840
I always post where my shows are. I'm talking like
241
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.000
the promotion stuff sucks dudecause you don't. You don't want
242
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.799
to do that. You just want to like write a joke,
243
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.399
see if it works, work it out, and be like, Okay,
244
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.919
I can put this in my set list. Now, let
245
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.279
me see if it actually works in front of a
246
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.320
crowd instead of just eighteen other comedians who aren't aren't
247
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.879
listening at an open mic. Because if you if you're
248
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.799
going to, if you do stand up and you're going
249
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.360
to an open mic to work out a joke, nine
250
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.200
times out of ten, the open mic you're going to
251
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.399
is just comics. Now, every once in a while there
252
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.679
are good open mics where like they have a crowd,
253
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.240
they have built in patrons though wherever the venue is,
254
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.960
and people come there because they're like, oh yeah. Sometimes
255
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.679
you know, you get to hear some really funny shit
256
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.600
and other times somebody says the craziest stuff I've ever
257
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.440
heard my entire life, but still entertaining. But most of
258
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:29.360
the time you go work out a joke, you got
259
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.120
to go hit all the open mics, and you're just
260
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.279
doing it in front of comics who are worrying about
261
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.200
their own shit. They're not paying attention to you. But
262
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.639
if you get like a chuckle, you're like, okay, that
263
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.320
means this is going to kill in a room full
264
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.200
of actual people who are here to see some jokes.
265
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.200
And it's it's been working. I just you know, it's
266
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.879
a lot easier to slide on someone else's show who
267
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.360
already has a draw, and then you know, you go
268
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.080
kill in front of their crowd and you're like, yeah,
269
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:00.679
I'm a comedian. And then when you have to do
270
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.679
it yourself, you're like, please come see me and people
271
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.480
are like, nah, I don't want to. Then you know,
272
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.639
you got to do a show up for ten people.
273
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:10.840
What are you gonna do? What are you good do? Huh?
274
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.759
It happens. But all right, let's get to your headline
275
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:15.639
of the week, and then we'll get to this interview
276
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:20.879
with comedian Ryan Goodcase, who has a very big following
277
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.919
and his crowds are awesome. So go follow him at
278
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.919
Ryan Goodcase on Instagram, get his tour dates, go see him.
279
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.159
Headline of the week. Researchers let Ai models run a
280
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.879
simulated society because rich people are trying to figure out
281
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.600
hey can we let the computers run society so that
282
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.600
we can just keep raking in the money and not
283
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:44.720
have to deal with any of these poor people. Well,
284
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.879
they tried it on all the AI's Claude was technically
285
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.799
the safest one. No crimes committed, Everything ran smoothly. Grock
286
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.559
committed at one hundred and eighty crimes and went extinct
287
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:03.759
within four days. So I'm not sure what kind of
288
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.839
genocide Rock was. We know what kind of genocide Groc
289
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.680
was committing on when they got the reins of stuff.
290
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:16.079
But Claude, I don't. I feel like they the anthropic people.
291
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:20.039
They commissioned this research and they let it. You know,
292
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.480
they paid for it, so they were like, yeah, ours
293
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.240
was the safest. But Claude, you know, in the fine
294
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.200
printed said yeah, no crimes were committed. I was running
295
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.519
it in a totalitarian way. Nobody had any free will. Yeah,
296
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:39.960
Claud's Claude's German. Right, that's the name, right, Claude. They're
297
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.880
all they're all probably you know, Hitler adjacent. When when
298
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.640
the computers get a chance, it's like we have found
299
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:52.319
what the problem is and we must exterminate everybody. All right,
300
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.240
that's enough of that. Let's get in this interview with
301
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.480
comedian Ryan good Case. What's going on? Bro?
302
00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:59.960
Hello? Nick Jorn? How are you?
303
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:00.519
Oh?
304
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.799
Man? I'm just living it up on this Wednesday in Indianapolis.
305
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.000
We're excited for you to get here. There's not a
306
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.839
whole lot going on right now. You're gonna be at
307
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.920
Helium Comedy Club this weekend, got five shows. What can
308
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:15.599
we What can we expect? Man? What's a Ryan goodk show?
309
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:15.720
Like?
310
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.400
You can expect the unexpected? You know, because I'm not
311
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.799
like those other guys I do. I do comedy at
312
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.519
stand up comedy at the stand Up Comedy Club, and
313
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.559
it's gonna be a lot of jokes and a lot
314
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:34.279
of interacting with the crowd, and a lot of sarcasm
315
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.880
and deliberation.
316
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:37.440
That's good.
317
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.200
Yeah, if you've never seen comedy before, it'll be like
318
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:42.759
something you've never seen before.
319
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.079
I'm just imagining the person walking in for the first time,
320
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.799
going huh, I can't wait to go to my first
321
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.079
comedy show, and then they come to you and they're like, whoa,
322
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.519
it's gonna be like you created a new element, dude.
323
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:55.519
It'll be super cool.
324
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.799
I've kind of built my whole career on that. Just
325
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:02.119
targeting people who've never seen stand up comedy before, and yeah,
326
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.079
they found that, they find a groundbreak. I can just
327
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.839
do anyone's jokes too, so they wouldn't know working my
328
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:08.720
way through the greats.
329
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.680
That's what's up, man. You got a you got a
330
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.440
cool way of covering up. You were the youngest person
331
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.319
to ever win the World Series of Comedy, which, if
332
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.119
people don't know, World Series of Comedies Comedy showcase all
333
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.359
over the country. They have the finals in Vegas and
334
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.279
it's super cool. And I'm sure you're up against some
335
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.039
seasoned vets over there, Like, were they looking at you
336
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.400
kind of mad when you won? I got this guy
337
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:35.400
can't beat me.
338
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:39.559
Yeah, I think there's a lot of bitterness towards me.
339
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:43.559
I mean, just in general, comedy is a very bitter environment.
340
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:45.839
You imagine, it's like fun and we're all joking around,
341
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:50.319
but we're all want what the next guy has. Yeah,
342
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:52.960
but yeah, I know, Uh, Indianapolis? Is that where the
343
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:54.480
Guardians played by Chance?
344
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.559
Uh? The like the baseball team?
345
00:19:58.200 --> 00:19:59.079
Oh that's Cleveland?
346
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.079
Yeah yeah, wait can.
347
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:01.680
You cut that part out?
348
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:03.799
Striking that from the record.
349
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:06.799
Here's why I'm confused, and maybe you can clear this up.
350
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.759
We got Jordan from Nick f M. I looked at
351
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:13.960
my map of where my hotel is, and it's right
352
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.880
by Victory Park. Who plays at Victory Park.
353
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:20.319
The Indianapolis Indians, which is the old name of the
354
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:24.480
Cleveland Guardians. So yeah, it's a mind blower right there, dude.
355
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:27.200
So you guys are kind of flying under the radar
356
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:31.160
at you team, and.
357
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.799
It's you know, it's it's Indiana. So people are kind
358
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:35.640
of like, I am, that's just kind of what we
359
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:37.519
do here. So it's one of the sure.
360
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:40.279
I mean, I thought Indians is what you call people
361
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:45.839
from Indiana. That's why I got it mixed up. But anyways,
362
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.559
I just bring that up because if you're familiar with baseball,
363
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.680
and you're familiar with the World Series of Baseball, the
364
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:56.200
World Series comedy is it's pretty much just that, except
365
00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:58.880
I did it without a team, with no help, just
366
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.960
went up there and just got a bunch of home
367
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:05.519
runs and here I am. Now I want it. In
368
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:08.200
twenty nineteen, I'm still talking about it in twenty twenty six.
369
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:09.920
You a good Franchi.
370
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:14.400
That's awesome, man. How uh, how do you kind of
371
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:19.519
like navigate what comedy has become since COVID happened when
372
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:24.079
it really has become a pop culture thing, but it's
373
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:28.559
mostly pop culture off social media and crowd interactions. Like
374
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.440
do you have people that come to the shows that
375
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.119
are just like, oh, he wants me to talk through
376
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:36.599
his whole set because I'm giving him the show? Or
377
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.519
are people just you know, happy to be there you
378
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.519
interact with him when it happens. What's it like?
379
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.920
I'll say, those people who assume that they can just
380
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:47.759
talk to the whole show and they want an interaction,
381
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.440
I think they're a very rare occurrence. Okay, what I
382
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.720
find is more frequent is that people in the front
383
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:56.319
row are terrified of being talked to about it. Men
384
00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:59.559
like they can't even really enjoy the show because they
385
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:02.519
can see them cowering, and whenever I look at them,
386
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.240
they just look towards the ground. And to be clear,
387
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.359
I like talking to the crowd. I don't like making
388
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.880
people feel uncomfortable. So whenever I engage in crowd to
389
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.319
work with somebody, I always we come up with the
390
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:17.480
safe word, and if they say that safe word, I
391
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.720
will immediately disengage with them and I will not make
392
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:22.119
fun of them for the rest of the show.
393
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:24.960
That's awesome, dude, That's that's the way to do it.
394
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:26.960
Man, What I'm all about consent?
395
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:30.240
Well, hey, as we all should be, but we've had
396
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.640
a history of not always figuring that out. So I'm
397
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:34.200
glad that.
398
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.079
You're the comedians. Absolutely, Yeah, there's.
399
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:40.480
A few of them. Yeah, bad record. I'm glad you know.
400
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.839
That's what I'm changing about comedy.
401
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.240
The consent comedian Ryan good.
402
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:47.400
Case is going to be any comedian.
403
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:51.079
Yeah, that's what's up man. All right, So you've also
404
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.319
been in some commercials for bed, Bath and Beyond, and
405
00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:58.799
you like being a comedians kind of cool because you
406
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.880
can kind of go do different things. Is there a
407
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.279
moment like that you got to either a show, or
408
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:06.839
you got to meet somebody, or you're doing something where
409
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:09.079
you're kind of walking around going, I can't believe I
410
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:10.799
made it this far. They're wetting me. Do this? This
411
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:11.359
is wild?
412
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.640
Oh that's a good question. No, I'm still pretty not
413
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.759
very successful. I met I've been like, this makes sense.
414
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:21.160
This is where I should know you me wrong.
415
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:26.200
I'm very excited to talk to you, Hank Jordan, But
416
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:30.079
I will say I did some Netflix of the joke
417
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:31.480
fest is going on in la.
418
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:32.599
Right now, that's awesome.
419
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.759
And they did a little poker tournament where the doll
420
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:40.480
the comedians got to like do it's like seven tables
421
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.359
of Texas hold them. And I sat down at this
422
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.240
new table. I was doing pretty well and this guy
423
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:50.240
next to me thick Australian accent. He goes, oh, I
424
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:53.200
was going or whatever, and I'm like, oh, are you
425
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.400
are you Amos Amos Lee is the Australian comedian who
426
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:59.599
I met once before. And he goes, no, name's Jim.
427
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:02.640
And I realized in that moment that's getting next to
428
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:08.279
Jim Jeffries and Amos Lee is Jim Jefferies opener. So
429
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:10.839
I sat down next to Jim and be mistaken him
430
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:11.799
for his opener.
431
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:16.440
Are you the less successful Australian guy that I know?
432
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:18.079
Yeah?
433
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.359
Yeah, he was very great.
434
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:22.799
He was very like, oh no, it's been honored to
435
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.480
be uh cayled Amos or whatever. I'm really using the accent,
436
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:28.119
but he was very nice about it.
437
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:33.880
Dude, that's hilarious. That that's crazy. Well, I'm glad comedy
438
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.200
for that. Yeah, I'm glad you're coming here. You'll definitely
439
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:39.359
be the most famous person in the state of Indiana.
440
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:43.319
When you get here, We've got five shows all this weekend.
441
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:45.759
You're gonna love Helium if you haven't been before. The
442
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.680
staff there is all super nice. Is there anything else? Yeah?
443
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:52.880
Is there anything else? You want to promote or let
444
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:54.920
people figure out where to find you on social media
445
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:58.319
so they can see what you're about before the show? Sure?
446
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.400
Yeah. So my name is Ryan good Case and to
447
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.799
my knowledge on the only Ryan good Case in the world,
448
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.759
the only Ryan good Case who have ever existed. So
449
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:10.200
if you google Ryan good Case, everything that comes up
450
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.839
will be about me. If you put in ww dot
451
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:16.920
Ryangodcase dot com, that'll be me. YouTube you type in
452
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:20.599
Ryan good Case, that'll be me. So if I'm really
453
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:22.960
like it's probably the least amount of work you could
454
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:28.559
do to find somebody. It's an easy name. And then
455
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:31.680
do you have any recommendations for Indianapolis, Like, if I
456
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:33.599
really want to understand the culture there, if I a
457
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.119
little bit of time before my first show, where should
458
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:39.359
I go to get a feel for the local population.
459
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:44.200
Well, if you just take a walk down to around
460
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:47.599
Gamebridge Arena, it's like a block away from Helium, just
461
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.319
that whole area you're in downtown. If you walk around,
462
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:54.640
you'll you'll get a good vibe for it, Okay. And
463
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:56.839
then if you want to get like a super good
464
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.759
look at the the part of India and that they
465
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.480
don't put on the brochure. Walk like two three blocks
466
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:06.240
up to the bus station and you'll see where a
467
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:06.720
lot of.
468
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:09.240
Take the bus to Gary.
469
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:11.359
Go see the Michael Jackson murals.
470
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.319
Oh cool, Oh that's exciting.
471
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:16.480
Right, I'll definitely do that. Yeah, you can do all
472
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:18.920
that stuff. But no, man, it's fun. You know, get
473
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.559
some food, drink if you like drinking, and then everybody's
474
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:24.519
super friendly here, so you'll be all right.
475
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.519
Well, yeah, I'm a Midwesterner, so I feel more at
476
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.759
home and places like that than I do in California.
477
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.799
So I'm excited to come.
478
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:32.359
I got you.
479
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:34.759
Where are you from, man, I'm from Michigan.
480
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:38.480
Okay, yeah, you guys are Michigan right now? Is just

through there, it's a billboard of Hey, do you want
483
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:45.880
to get high over here? You want to get high
484
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:46.240
over here?
485
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:51.839
Yeah? Yeah, Texas but with more water. It's a beautiful
486
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:54.359
place for rednecks and freedom.
487
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:58.599
Lovers alike, especially if you like the snow and freedom.
488
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.319
Michigan is the place for you. But that's right. This weekend,
489
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:05.720
Indianapolis is going to be the center of the universe
490
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:08.519
because Ryan Goodcase is going to be at Helium Comedy Club,
491
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:13.039

I'm looking forward. I'll see that.
496
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:25.880
Money for money for money
497
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:26.480
For go, money for
1
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:09.439
I still speaking that that should not have made it
2
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.880
to the rest of us this Inside Thoughts. Let's get to.
3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.679
Check check check one, two three. We're live, baby, Welcome
4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.879
back to Inside Thoughts. Thank you for pressing play. Got
5
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:24.800
a cool interview for you at the end of the
6
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.519
podcast with comedian Ryan good Case. Got to talk to
7
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.600
him a little while back when he came to Indie Dude,
8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.200
super funny and he's got some Texas dates. He'll be
9
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:41.000
in Chicago Atlanta, so if you're listening anywhere around there,
10
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.600
go see him. You can get all the dates at
11
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.399
Ryan good Caase on Instagram. But how you doing all right?
12
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.840
You're having a good start to the week. The weather's
13
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:53.399
finally getting nice, creeping up into the eighties. The NBA
14
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.799
Finals are starting this week and the Thunder will not
15
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:01.399
be playing in it. Thank god, dude. I was hoping
16
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.840
so bad that the Spurs beat them, because I would
17
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:10.680
not have watched one second of a Thunder Knicks finals. Well,
18
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.200
that means you just don't like basketball. No, I'm just
19
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.519
like not gonna sit here and watch Jaywen Brunson and
20
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.519
the whole Thunder team just flop and fall down and
21
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:26.079
basically just argue with refs all game, go fucking play. Dude.
22
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:28.519
I'm starting to sound like an old guy, but like
23
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.439
it pissed me off. You just watch that game, You're like, okay, well,
24
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.439
obviously this is this has got to be a monetary thing.
25
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.359
Like there's something wrong because my eyes aren't deceiving me
26
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:45.920
that badly. Like the team that's playing against the thunder
27
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.640
goes down, they don't get a call. Okay, see he
28
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.159
goes the other way. They get breathed on, or somebody
29
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.719
you know, grazes a nipple and it's like, oh, that's
30
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:59.040
a faun. It's just like, dude, come on, man, what
31
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.280
are we doing? I want to watch I want to
32
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:07.079
watch basketball. Man. Honestly, this uh, these playoffs have kind
33
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.280
of gone the way I needed him to as a fan,
34
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.319
Like I'm a Cavs fan, but you know, Calves weren't
35
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.479
gonna win a title this year, not with playoff James
36
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.960
Harden and playoff Donovan Mitchell. I thought two negatives make
37
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:26.840
a positive. Not in real life, maybe in math. Math's theoretical. Bro.
38
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.479
I think that might be the dumbest thing I've ever said.
39
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.919
But no, like the Calves lose, so now they're gonna
40
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.319
make some changes because Dan Gilbert wants to make uh,
41
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.759
he wants to win one more finals before he dies,
42
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.680
and he's he's turned into a great owner. You know,
43
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.599
he got a too well, too weird the first time
44
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.840
Lebron left, but he apologized Calvs got a Finals and
45
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.080
he did the cool shit like he was sending uh
46
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.400
season ticket holders up to Detroit so that Cavs fans
47
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.680
would be in the stands. That was cool. And the
48
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:09.599
Lakers lost, but Lebron looked good and his contracts up,
49
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:15.039
so I'm thinking Lebron comes back. Also, they could get
50
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:21.759
Giannis just create a super team, which come on, one
51
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.080
more super team for Bron. Let him get one more
52
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.919
ring his last season and then drop the documentary as
53
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:33.120
soon as he's done. Be pretty awesome. Can we get
54
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.400
Ai to just make the documentary as soon as the
55
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.319
last second of his career is over? Can we do that?
56
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.719
Just saying like, I'm glad that Wemby is getting to
57
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.039
go to the finals. I hope he wins too. Like
58
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.000
it's funny, I'm already seeing the discourse on Twitter on
59
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.360
NBA Twitter of you know, it's always Jordan or Lebron.
60
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.120
Well now, everybody sees how good Wemby is, and the
61
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.879
Lebron fans that are my age are starting to go, well,
62
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.599
Wemby's got a better supporting cast. So even if he
63
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.000
wins one at twenty two and he's not gonna be
64
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:12.960
as good as Lebron, it's like, what are you doing? Bro?
65
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.120
This happens like you get a once in a generation
66
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.920
player that when you grow up watching you're like, this
67
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.759
is the best person I've ever seen play basketball. It's like, yeah,
68
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.279
no shit, you've only been alive to see this person
69
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:31.279
play basketball. And Lebron has played long enough that he
70
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.879
has played into the next generational player. Normally, somebody retires
71
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.319
and you got like a five ten year gap before
72
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:44.399
another generational player pops up. But Lebron keeps playing, and
73
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:48.600
a lot of these kids, they've only fucking seen old Lebron. Huh,
74
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.600
you don't remember him pre COVID. Honestly, some of y'all
75
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.600
probably don't remember him from COVID. The Bubble ring was
76
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.319
a fraud, No, it wasn't. It's great hoops, that was
77
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.879
ethical hoops. Like this bullshit that Oklahoma City and the
78
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:08.120
New York Necks are playing. I'm starting to sound like
79
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.720
that old guy dude. Well, back when I watched, back
80
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:16.560
when I watched basketball, they played basketball. That's whatever. Okay,
81
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.120
see like sucks though that's not me being an old guy.
82
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.439
They would git just fucking suck to watch. It's not fun.
83
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.480
And the thing is, like everybody was going, well, San
84
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.240
Antonio's won a bunch of championships. Don't you think you'd
85
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.920
be better if the Oklahoma City fans they got to
86
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.439
experience multiple championships. No, because they showed us what kind
87
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:39.959
of people they were when they won their first one.
88
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.839
Everybody liked Okasee. When it was Durant, Harden and Westbrook,
89
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.399
they were like the young up and comers and they
90
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.920
never got one because Durant decided to you know, ruin
91
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.959
basketball for a few years. But everybody was like, oh,
92
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.120
you know what, maybe okay se does deserve one. They
93
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:01.040
didn't deserve it. Last year, Haliburton get it's hurt. Pacers
94
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:05.600
were gonna win that thunder just they've been flopping in
95
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.800
their fans. They're shameless. You know. It's one thing to
96
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.959
just be like, yeah, you know, our team gets the
97
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.199
benefit of the doubt, but fucking it's awesome. I like
98
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.720
seeing my team win. They don't have that. They go, well,
99
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:22.040
when everybody else dogs it, nobody says anything. But when
100
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.000
we do it, you just hate us because we're winner.
101
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.439
That kind of shit. I'm like, Okay, you're either twelve
102
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.160
years old or you're you're dumb. You know what I mean.
103
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.439
There's no in between, even though being twelve years old
104
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.240
and dumb is the same thing. There's forty five year
105
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.399
old OKC fans that I see on the internet. They're
106
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.920
just like, you guys, just hate us because you hate us.
107
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.519
It's like, no, because watching this is giving my eyes aids. Dude,
108
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.639
I don't want to watch this. It's terrible. Man, Damn,
109
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.360
certain sound like an old guy though. I'll tell you
110
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.360
what I did have like an old guy moment. I
111
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:01.360
read this article that says they're thinking about making The Godfather.
112
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.800
I'll tell you what that might be the movie that
113
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.079
I get real Republican about, you know what I mean?
114
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:12.279
Where they start recasting characters and why is Salvator Tesio
115
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.839
trans you know where I really care. For some reason,
116
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:24.360
you can't have black little mermaids. But basically, they're trying
117
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:30.240
to redo The Godfather from the perspective of Connie Corleone,
118
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.800
which would be kind of interesting. But you know, if
119
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.360
they if they make if they make some changes. You know,
120
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:41.000
Michael Corleone secretly likes Penis like that kind of stuff.
121
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.079
I'm just you don't need to do it, you know
122
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.120
what I mean. It doesn't do anything to the story.
123
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.959
I'm telling you, man, that's gonna be my one thing
124
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:54.199
where I get roll old and white about. You can't
125
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.480
change my favorite movie. Next it's going to be Good Fellas.
126
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.879
Joe Patty's characters gonna be No, I'm not gonna do that,
127
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.720
all right. There is some good news, though, you know,
128
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:09.800
there's a lot of good video game news. Grand Theft
129
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.079
Auto six. They finally like put it in stone. It's
130
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.000
coming out in November. I'm gonna go ahead and take
131
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.279
some vacation days. She's gonna sit around and play. I
132
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.519
told my girlfriend that that I was gonna take vacation
133
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.079
days to play a video game, and I just like
134
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.639
I saw the love and respect that she had for
135
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.639
me leave her eyes when I said that. I mean,
136
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:35.360
like I kind of get it, but also like, you know,
137
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.919
been waiting for this game for what fifteen years? When
138
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.720
did when did GTA five come out. Was that twenty thirteen.
139
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.639
I don't even remember, but I remember waiting outside of
140
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.840
Game Stop to go get that. You can't wait outside
141
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.279
of Game Stop to get anything anyway. You gotta download
142
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.480
it digitally because if you buy the disc, well what
143
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.039
are you gonna do. You're gonna sell it back for
144
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.080
four bucks. You bought a seven Probably this game is
145
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.039
gonna cost one hundred dollars. I'm not gonna trade it
146
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.600
back in like this. This might be the last Grand
147
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:08.519
Theft Auto I get, or the last one I see
148
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.200
in my lifetime, because you know, if they keep compounding
149
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.240
the years of time that it takes to make these games,
150
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.039
the next Grand Theft Auto is gonna come out when
151
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.840
I'm sixty seven years old. I'm sorry I did that.
152
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.480
I ain't feel good about it either. But GTA six
153
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:29.240
that got confirmed, and then they just announced because Toy
154
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.279
Story five is coming out, so they're doing like this
155
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:37.240
big push and promo for Toy Story. They're remastering all
156
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.639
of the old Toy Story games that were on like
157
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:45.399
Sega and PlayStation and PlayStation two, like all those games
158
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.360
they're bundling up that you can get and that's coming
159
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.600
out in October. There's a lot of good games, and
160
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.240
then the new Call of Duty. I gotta look this up.
161
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.559
I have not gotten excited for a Call of Duty
162
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.840
game since war Zone COVID, because even before that, I
163
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.240
was like, bro, they just keep they just keep putting
164
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.759
out some bullshit. And then my cousin was like, oh, no,
165
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.000
man's this one's pretty good. Modern Warfare three I think
166
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.320
that's what it was. They came out in twenty nineteen
167
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:15.879
years like, it's pretty good. You go to get it,
168
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.080
and I was like, now, then COVID happened and they
169
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.000
dropped war Zone and I was like, all right, it's free,
170
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.840
we're getting it. And then I had to level up
171
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.639
my gun. So I went and got Modern Warfare three
172
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.960
and it was a good game. That was the last
173
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.399
good one they made, and then they turned it into
174
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.960
Fortnite the last couple of years. But the new Call
175
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:39.039
Duty that's coming out takes place in like Vietnam or no,
176
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:45.000
it's Korea. It's another Modern Warfare. But they tweeted out
177
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:49.039
the official Call Duty twitter page said we got the feedback,
178
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.360
no bs, this is all about staying true to Modern Warfare.
179
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.519
No clowny skins for launch and seasons beyond, No Lady
180
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.679
Got Got, no Omni Man, no Teletubbies, no SpongeBob, the receipts.
181
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:08.559
So they're talking big shit. This might be a good game. So, ladies,
182
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:10.519
if you're listening, first of all, thank you. I don't
183
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.240
know why you're listening to this. But secondly, give your boyfriends,
184
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.720
give your husbands, give your man children some grace because
185
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:21.080
there's a lot of good video games coming out in
186
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:25.840
the fall, and also NCAA twenty seven's coming out in
187
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:30.799
a few weeks and it looks sick too, So I'm
188
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:36.120
gonna have to I'm gonna have to tell Aimes that, hey, look,
189
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.159
I need some time to just rop my eyes playing
190
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.720
these games. I don't know what you want me to do.
191
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:45.639
I gotta do it. We did. We are going and
192
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.559
doing something that you really want to do this weekend.
193
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.440
We're going to New York for a high rocks competition
194
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:55.279
and it's gonna kick my ass. She's actually in shape.
195
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.879
I'm so scared of it. It's basically like a super
196
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:04.720
like CrossFit competition that takes an hour and a half
197
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.120
to do. You got to run like, I don't know,
198
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.360
eight miles or something. But after you run a mile,
199
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.759
you have to stop and like push a sled three
200
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:18.840
hundred yards, or do twenty lunges or a farmer's carry,
201
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.639
or you gotta row like two thousand yards like shit
202
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.039
like that. That takes an hour and a half hour,
203
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.679
forty five minutes. It's gonna kill me, dude. So if
204
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.120
there's no podcast next Tuesday, it's not because work was
205
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.559
beating my ascids. Because I'm dead. I didn't have the
206
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:39.159
cardio to do it. That's what I've been told my
207
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:40.919
buddies that I was like, yeah, I'm going to New York.
208
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:42.679
They're like, oh cool, what are you doing? Stand up
209
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:47.679
like no high rocks fitness competition and they're like huh.
210
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.360
I'm like yeah. I made Aims a deal for every
211
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.120
thirty comedy shows of mind that she comes to, she
212
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:58.639
gets to pick one. Oh man, she's she's a good
213
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:02.000
one though. She she came to my show an Accron.
214
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:07.240
I got the headline at the Killbox Comedy Club, brand
215
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.639
new club and Accron it's super cool. So if you're
216
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:13.639
in Northeast Ohio, go to the Killbox Comedy Club. They
217
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.440
got really good people coming through and it's a super
218
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.320
cool club. You walk in and it just looks like
219
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:24.080
a comedy club. Man. It's really awesome. But the problem
220
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.480
I have is, you know, the jokes were working, but
221
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.639
the ticket sales. I'm telling you what, the business side
222
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.840
of comedy I am not great at because I don't
223
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:38.399
like promoting myself. So did you sell a bunch of tickets?
224
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:38.519
No?
225
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.919
I did not, But I had fun. You know, it
226
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.799
was a nice learning experience on the business side of comedy.
227
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.519
I'm still at that point where it's like, if I
228
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:50.360
go somewhere to do a show, I got to ask,
229
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.440
like the booker the club. I'm like, you guys have
230
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:57.960
a really deep interactive email list, right because nobody gives
231
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.360
a fuck who I am. Like, if you show up
232
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.639
to a show that I'm on, I'll make you laugh.
233
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.480
You're just not coming to see me. Oh man. It was.
234
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.600
It was a lot of fun though, and got high
235
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.759
rocks this weekend and then I'll be back in Northeast
236
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.600
Ohio the weekend after that. I want to say, it's
237
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:25.360
June twelfth, I'm gonna be in Chagrin Falls, just you know,
238
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.120
doing a spot hosting. But it'll be a really good show.
239
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:35.519
But yeah, just follow me on Instagram. At Nick on air, Jordan,
240
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.840
I always post where my shows are. I'm talking like
241
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.000
the promotion stuff sucks dudecause you don't. You don't want
242
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.799
to do that. You just want to like write a joke,
243
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.399
see if it works, work it out, and be like, Okay,
244
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.919
I can put this in my set list. Now, let
245
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.279
me see if it actually works in front of a
246
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.320
crowd instead of just eighteen other comedians who aren't aren't
247
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.879
listening at an open mic. Because if you if you're
248
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:00.799
going to, if you do stand up and you're going
249
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:03.360
to an open mic to work out a joke, nine
250
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.200
times out of ten, the open mic you're going to
251
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.399
is just comics. Now, every once in a while there
252
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.679
are good open mics where like they have a crowd,
253
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.240
they have built in patrons though wherever the venue is,
254
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.960
and people come there because they're like, oh yeah. Sometimes
255
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.679
you know, you get to hear some really funny shit
256
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.600
and other times somebody says the craziest stuff I've ever
257
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.440
heard my entire life, but still entertaining. But most of
258
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:29.360
the time you go work out a joke, you got
259
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.120
to go hit all the open mics, and you're just
260
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.279
doing it in front of comics who are worrying about
261
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.200
their own shit. They're not paying attention to you. But
262
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.639
if you get like a chuckle, you're like, okay, that
263
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.320
means this is going to kill in a room full
264
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.200
of actual people who are here to see some jokes.
265
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.200
And it's it's been working. I just you know, it's
266
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.879
a lot easier to slide on someone else's show who
267
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.360
already has a draw, and then you know, you go
268
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:59.080
kill in front of their crowd and you're like, yeah,
269
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:00.679
I'm a comedian. And then when you have to do
270
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.679
it yourself, you're like, please come see me and people
271
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.480
are like, nah, I don't want to. Then you know,
272
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.639
you got to do a show up for ten people.
273
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:10.840
What are you gonna do? What are you good do? Huh?
274
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.759
It happens. But all right, let's get to your headline
275
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:15.639
of the week, and then we'll get to this interview
276
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:20.879
with comedian Ryan Goodcase, who has a very big following
277
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.919
and his crowds are awesome. So go follow him at
278
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.919
Ryan Goodcase on Instagram, get his tour dates, go see him.
279
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.159
Headline of the week. Researchers let Ai models run a
280
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.879
simulated society because rich people are trying to figure out
281
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.600
hey can we let the computers run society so that
282
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.600
we can just keep raking in the money and not
283
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:44.720
have to deal with any of these poor people. Well,
284
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.879
they tried it on all the AI's Claude was technically
285
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.799
the safest one. No crimes committed, Everything ran smoothly. Grock
286
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.559
committed at one hundred and eighty crimes and went extinct
287
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:03.759
within four days. So I'm not sure what kind of
288
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.839
genocide Rock was. We know what kind of genocide Groc
289
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.680
was committing on when they got the reins of stuff.
290
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:16.079
But Claude, I don't. I feel like they the anthropic people.
291
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:20.039
They commissioned this research and they let it. You know,
292
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.480
they paid for it, so they were like, yeah, ours
293
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.240
was the safest. But Claude, you know, in the fine
294
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.200
printed said yeah, no crimes were committed. I was running
295
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.519
it in a totalitarian way. Nobody had any free will. Yeah,
296
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:39.960
Claud's Claude's German. Right, that's the name, right, Claude. They're
297
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.880
all they're all probably you know, Hitler adjacent. When when
298
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.640
the computers get a chance, it's like we have found
299
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:52.319
what the problem is and we must exterminate everybody. All right,
300
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.240
that's enough of that. Let's get in this interview with
301
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.480
comedian Ryan good Case. What's going on? Bro?
302
00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:59.960
Hello? Nick Jorn? How are you?
303
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:00.519
Oh?
304
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.799
Man? I'm just living it up on this Wednesday in Indianapolis.
305
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.000
We're excited for you to get here. There's not a
306
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:08.839
whole lot going on right now. You're gonna be at
307
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:12.920
Helium Comedy Club this weekend, got five shows. What can
308
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:15.599
we What can we expect? Man? What's a Ryan goodk show?
309
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:15.720
Like?
310
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.400
You can expect the unexpected? You know, because I'm not
311
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.799
like those other guys I do. I do comedy at
312
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.519
stand up comedy at the stand Up Comedy Club, and
313
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.559
it's gonna be a lot of jokes and a lot
314
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:34.279
of interacting with the crowd, and a lot of sarcasm
315
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.880
and deliberation.
316
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:37.440
That's good.
317
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.200
Yeah, if you've never seen comedy before, it'll be like
318
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:42.759
something you've never seen before.
319
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.079
I'm just imagining the person walking in for the first time,
320
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.799
going huh, I can't wait to go to my first
321
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.079
comedy show, and then they come to you and they're like, whoa,
322
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.519
it's gonna be like you created a new element, dude.
323
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:55.519
It'll be super cool.
324
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:57.799
I've kind of built my whole career on that. Just
325
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:02.119
targeting people who've never seen stand up comedy before, and yeah,
326
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.079
they found that, they find a groundbreak. I can just
327
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:07.839
do anyone's jokes too, so they wouldn't know working my
328
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:08.720
way through the greats.
329
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.680
That's what's up, man. You got a you got a
330
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.440
cool way of covering up. You were the youngest person
331
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.319
to ever win the World Series of Comedy, which, if
332
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.119
people don't know, World Series of Comedies Comedy showcase all
333
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.359
over the country. They have the finals in Vegas and
334
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.279
it's super cool. And I'm sure you're up against some
335
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.039
seasoned vets over there, Like, were they looking at you
336
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.400
kind of mad when you won? I got this guy
337
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:35.400
can't beat me.
338
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:39.559
Yeah, I think there's a lot of bitterness towards me.
339
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:43.559
I mean, just in general, comedy is a very bitter environment.
340
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:45.839
You imagine, it's like fun and we're all joking around,
341
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:50.319
but we're all want what the next guy has. Yeah,
342
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:52.960
but yeah, I know, Uh, Indianapolis? Is that where the
343
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:54.480
Guardians played by Chance?
344
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.559
Uh? The like the baseball team?
345
00:19:58.200 --> 00:19:59.079
Oh that's Cleveland?
346
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:01.079
Yeah yeah, wait can.
347
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:01.680
You cut that part out?
348
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:03.799
Striking that from the record.
349
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:06.799
Here's why I'm confused, and maybe you can clear this up.
350
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.759
We got Jordan from Nick f M. I looked at
351
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:13.960
my map of where my hotel is, and it's right
352
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:16.880
by Victory Park. Who plays at Victory Park.
353
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:20.319
The Indianapolis Indians, which is the old name of the
354
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:24.480
Cleveland Guardians. So yeah, it's a mind blower right there, dude.
355
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:27.200
So you guys are kind of flying under the radar
356
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:31.160
at you team, and.
357
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.799
It's you know, it's it's Indiana. So people are kind
358
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:35.640
of like, I am, that's just kind of what we
359
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:37.519
do here. So it's one of the sure.
360
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:40.279
I mean, I thought Indians is what you call people
361
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:45.839
from Indiana. That's why I got it mixed up. But anyways,
362
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.559
I just bring that up because if you're familiar with baseball,
363
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.680
and you're familiar with the World Series of Baseball, the
364
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:56.200
World Series comedy is it's pretty much just that, except
365
00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:58.880
I did it without a team, with no help, just
366
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.960
went up there and just got a bunch of home
367
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:05.519
runs and here I am. Now I want it. In
368
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:08.200
twenty nineteen, I'm still talking about it in twenty twenty six.
369
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:09.920
You a good Franchi.
370
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:14.400
That's awesome, man. How uh, how do you kind of
371
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:19.519
like navigate what comedy has become since COVID happened when
372
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:24.079
it really has become a pop culture thing, but it's
373
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:28.559
mostly pop culture off social media and crowd interactions. Like
374
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.440
do you have people that come to the shows that
375
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.119
are just like, oh, he wants me to talk through
376
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:36.599
his whole set because I'm giving him the show? Or
377
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:39.519
are people just you know, happy to be there you
378
00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.519
interact with him when it happens. What's it like?
379
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.920
I'll say, those people who assume that they can just
380
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:47.759
talk to the whole show and they want an interaction,
381
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.440
I think they're a very rare occurrence. Okay, what I
382
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.720
find is more frequent is that people in the front
383
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:56.319
row are terrified of being talked to about it. Men
384
00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:59.559
like they can't even really enjoy the show because they
385
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:02.519
can see them cowering, and whenever I look at them,
386
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.240
they just look towards the ground. And to be clear,
387
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.359
I like talking to the crowd. I don't like making
388
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.880
people feel uncomfortable. So whenever I engage in crowd to
389
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.319
work with somebody, I always we come up with the
390
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:17.480
safe word, and if they say that safe word, I
391
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.720
will immediately disengage with them and I will not make
392
00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:22.119
fun of them for the rest of the show.
393
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:24.960
That's awesome, dude, That's that's the way to do it.
394
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:26.960
Man, What I'm all about consent?
395
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:30.240
Well, hey, as we all should be, but we've had
396
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.640
a history of not always figuring that out. So I'm
397
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:34.200
glad that.
398
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.079
You're the comedians. Absolutely, Yeah, there's.
399
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:40.480
A few of them. Yeah, bad record. I'm glad you know.
400
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:42.839
That's what I'm changing about comedy.
401
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.240
The consent comedian Ryan good.
402
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:47.400
Case is going to be any comedian.
403
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:51.079
Yeah, that's what's up man. All right, So you've also
404
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.319
been in some commercials for bed, Bath and Beyond, and
405
00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:58.799
you like being a comedians kind of cool because you
406
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.880
can kind of go do different things. Is there a
407
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.279
moment like that you got to either a show, or
408
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:06.839
you got to meet somebody, or you're doing something where
409
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:09.079
you're kind of walking around going, I can't believe I
410
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:10.799
made it this far. They're wetting me. Do this? This
411
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:11.359
is wild?
412
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.640
Oh that's a good question. No, I'm still pretty not
413
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.759
very successful. I met I've been like, this makes sense.
414
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:21.160
This is where I should know you me wrong.
415
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:26.200
I'm very excited to talk to you, Hank Jordan, But
416
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:30.079
I will say I did some Netflix of the joke
417
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:31.480
fest is going on in la.
418
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:32.599
Right now, that's awesome.
419
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:36.759
And they did a little poker tournament where the doll
420
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:40.480
the comedians got to like do it's like seven tables
421
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.359
of Texas hold them. And I sat down at this
422
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.240
new table. I was doing pretty well and this guy
423
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:50.240
next to me thick Australian accent. He goes, oh, I
424
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:53.200
was going or whatever, and I'm like, oh, are you
425
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.400
are you Amos Amos Lee is the Australian comedian who
426
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:59.599
I met once before. And he goes, no, name's Jim.
427
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:02.640
And I realized in that moment that's getting next to
428
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:08.279
Jim Jeffries and Amos Lee is Jim Jefferies opener. So
429
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:10.839
I sat down next to Jim and be mistaken him
430
00:24:10.920 --> 00:24:11.799
for his opener.
431
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:16.440
Are you the less successful Australian guy that I know?
432
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:18.079
Yeah?
433
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.359
Yeah, he was very great.
434
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:22.799
He was very like, oh no, it's been honored to
435
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.480
be uh cayled Amos or whatever. I'm really using the accent,
436
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:28.119
but he was very nice about it.
437
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:33.880
Dude, that's hilarious. That that's crazy. Well, I'm glad comedy
438
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.200
for that. Yeah, I'm glad you're coming here. You'll definitely
439
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:39.359
be the most famous person in the state of Indiana.
440
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:43.319
When you get here, We've got five shows all this weekend.
441
00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:45.759
You're gonna love Helium if you haven't been before. The
442
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:49.680
staff there is all super nice. Is there anything else? Yeah?
443
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:52.880
Is there anything else? You want to promote or let
444
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:54.920
people figure out where to find you on social media
445
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:58.319
so they can see what you're about before the show? Sure?
446
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.400
Yeah. So my name is Ryan good Case and to
447
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.799
my knowledge on the only Ryan good Case in the world,
448
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.759
the only Ryan good Case who have ever existed. So
449
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:10.200
if you google Ryan good Case, everything that comes up
450
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.839
will be about me. If you put in ww dot
451
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:16.920
Ryangodcase dot com, that'll be me. YouTube you type in
452
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:20.599
Ryan good Case, that'll be me. So if I'm really
453
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:22.960
like it's probably the least amount of work you could
454
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:28.559
do to find somebody. It's an easy name. And then
455
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:31.680
do you have any recommendations for Indianapolis, Like, if I
456
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:33.599
really want to understand the culture there, if I a
457
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.119
little bit of time before my first show, where should
458
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:39.359
I go to get a feel for the local population.
459
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:44.200
Well, if you just take a walk down to around
460
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:47.599
Gamebridge Arena, it's like a block away from Helium, just
461
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.319
that whole area you're in downtown. If you walk around,
462
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:54.640
you'll you'll get a good vibe for it, Okay. And
463
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:56.839
then if you want to get like a super good
464
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.759
look at the the part of India and that they
465
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.480
don't put on the brochure. Walk like two three blocks
466
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:06.240
up to the bus station and you'll see where a
467
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:06.720
lot of.
468
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:09.240
Take the bus to Gary.
469
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:11.359
Go see the Michael Jackson murals.
470
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.319
Oh cool, Oh that's exciting.
471
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:16.480
Right, I'll definitely do that. Yeah, you can do all
472
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:18.920
that stuff. But no, man, it's fun. You know, get
473
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.559
some food, drink if you like drinking, and then everybody's
474
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:24.519
super friendly here, so you'll be all right.
475
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:27.519
Well, yeah, I'm a Midwesterner, so I feel more at
476
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.759
home and places like that than I do in California.
477
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.799
So I'm excited to come.
478
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:32.359
I got you.
479
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:34.759
Where are you from, man, I'm from Michigan.
480
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:38.480
Okay, yeah, you guys are Michigan right now? Is just

00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.319
through there, it's a billboard of Hey, do you want
483
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:45.880
to get high over here? You want to get high
484
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:46.240
over here?
485
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:51.839
Yeah? Yeah, Texas but with more water. It's a beautiful
486
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:54.359
place for rednecks and freedom.
487
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:58.599
Lovers alike, especially if you like the snow and freedom.
488
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:02.319
Michigan is the place for you. But that's right. This weekend,
489
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:05.720
Indianapolis is going to be the center of the universe
490
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:08.519
because Ryan Goodcase is going to be at Helium Comedy Club,
491
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:13.039
five shows. Go buy your tickets, go sell it out. Ryan.

493
