That was that's probably the worst name you could have chosen there.
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:45.520
That's not the worst name.
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:46.399
You want to hear the worst name?
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:47.359

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:58.640
Bro, remember, just a reminder to the to the audience, guys, uh every time I raise this, the audience has a clap.
00:00:59.280 --> 00:00:59.920
And we don't have an audience.
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:00.479

00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:01.119
It's he.
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:01.679
Oh, it is a him.

It's a him.
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:03.439
He just hasn't been legitimate.
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:04.239
Well, it could be a this.
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:05.519
It is 2026.
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.920

Okay, I was like, a lot of potential there, you know.
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:22.480
Just kidding.
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:23.680

00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:29.200
How old is LeBron?
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:30.239

Well, because I let's be real.
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.879
Only women care about signs.
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.879
I feel like I've never met a guy who's like, so what's your sign?
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:17.599
And if he was.
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:19.120
Alright, anyway.
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.879
He might be so this is fun.
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:21.840
Homosexual.
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.080
Alright, anyway.
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:25.680
Um jeez.
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:26.479
Tough story.
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:27.039
What is your sign?
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:28.319

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.199
Tell me what your sign is, man.
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:32.560
December 7th.
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.479
That's not a sign, that's a day.
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:35.280
Wait, I know it.
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.599
A day that would actually live in infamy, actually.
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:43.840
Uh December 7th, 1941, is when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, causing us to enter into the World War II.
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.240
Also the same year uh day that Greg was born.
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.080
So give it up for that, I guess.
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:48.639
Greg?
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:50.080
Sagittarius.
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.120
Sagittarius.
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:51.520
I know.
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.520
That's about as interesting as never mind.
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:54.159
Sagittarius.
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.039
Um, dude, so let's talk about this this podcast.
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:58.080
What we're doing here.
00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:59.759
Or like goals, you know what I mean?
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.599
Or just Black History Month.
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.360
I want to talk about Black History Month.
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:06.080
No, I'm just kidding.
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.800
No, uh, you know, uh, I think I don't know, man.
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.280
I just think that um there's so many podcasts.
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.360
I want to be original.
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.400
And uh I I Long story short, this was a long thing coming.
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.400
We we you had tried for years.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.639
You had tried for years and hit a few speed bumps.
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:26.639
A lot of speed bumps, actually.
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:28.080
But that's fine, you know?
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.000
You've come out somewhat weaker, but that's again, that's fine.
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:32.800
We're here now.
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.960
So, like, talk to us about this journey, you know, finally getting it started after a decade.
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.400
Well, it's it's not my a decade a decade, bro.
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.639
I've been trying to start since I was 14.
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.080
I'm 24, by the way.
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.039
Ladies, don't hit me up.
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:48.560
Uh no, I don't know.
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.879
I uh honestly, I think what it is is I think our group of friends were so fun.
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.960
And uh here's the thing every group of friends I think says this, where they're like, oh my gosh, we just did a podcast.
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:57.599
I'm so funny.
00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.360
You ever meet a girl who's like, oh, I'm so funny?
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.919
I've seen some horrible podcasts from friend groups.
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:02.319
I know.
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:03.199
Just awful.
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:09.280
But you ever meet a girl where she's like, I'm so funny, and then she proceeds to not say one funny thing the entire time you know her?
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.360
Yeah, a lot, actually, unfortunately.
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:11.759
Yeah.
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:12.879
But with us, it's different.
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.439
I'm like, with us, I promise you guys it's different.
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.399
Yeah, hopefully we won't be one of those people everyone's like, oh man, what a horrible podcast.
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:19.519
No, I don't know, man.
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:29.759
I just think that like the reason why I was thinking rare wave, I came up with it when I was writing a song, and I was like, Josh one Gregory iconic on a rare wave, and I was like, that's a good name for a podcast.
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.360
But it's true, because like we're rare.
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:32.800
Like, we still open the door for women.
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.079
Oh, is that where the name's from?
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:34.560
Yeah.
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:35.279
Okay, cool.
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:36.319
We opened the door for women.
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:37.439
That was 22, right?
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:37.759
Yeah.
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:38.879
We opened the door for women.
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:39.680
Terrible song.
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.040
Oh, open the okay.
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:43.759

00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:44.399
Okay, great.
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.639
So what we're gonna do is really give me some.
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.399
That's that's my respect.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:48.720
Alright?
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:49.759
We're gonna give some respect.

00:04:58.319 --> 00:04:58.560
Yeah.
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.000
Um, so yeah, dude, and I think that like, here's the thing, man.
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:06.560
I think but uh, you know, classic days of TV are is over.
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.759
You know, like if I got a call right now as a comic to go do Letterman, or not Letterman, Jimmy Fowl, would I do it?
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:12.240
Yes.
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:13.199
Yeah, yeah, I would do it.
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:13.759

I would do it.
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.360
I don't even know where I was going to do.
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.160
What's your more like inspiration in terms of talk shows?
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.120
Because I I feel like a little talk show inspiration here.
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:23.920
You know what I mean?
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:24.319
No.
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:25.920
I just happen to be the guest constantly.
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.639
I came up Same with Steve.
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:30.319
Steve, or we're going with Steve?
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.360
Uh, you named him.
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.120
Oh yeah, Steve! Give it up for Steve.
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:33.839
Terrible name.
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:34.639
Steve.
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:36.079
Uh no, dude.
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.680
I mean, honestly, I grew up.
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:39.519
Well, I didn't really grow up.
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.079
I mean, we all kind of grew up with Fallon and Kimmel and Fallon.
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.279
But we all did grow up, yes.
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:43.759
Yeah.
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:52.399
No, but um, I'm getting I got the inspiration from, and obviously our aesthetic is very 70s, 80s, and who was the king of late night back then?
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:56.879
Um Johnny Carson Johnny Carson.
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:57.680
Oh, Johnny Carson.
00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:58.319
Johnny Carson.
00:05:58.560 --> 00:05:59.360
Give it up for Johnny Carson.
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.560
Johnny Carson, uh the king of late night.
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.600
Uh, and um, I don't know, I just really like that.
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.720
Because one with podcasts, everyone has a podcast.
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:14.800
So to me, I'm like, I want an aesthetic to look different, but also you similar to where you go, hey, that looks like you know.
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.040
And there's this guy, I want to look what his name is.
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:18.560
There's this guy, a little inspiration.
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:22.000
I think his name is Adam Seinfeld or Seinfeld or something.
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:22.800
Seinfeld?
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:23.199
I don't know.
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.600
No, it's not Seinfeld, but his name is Adam something.
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.079
And he also Did his first name happen to be Jerry?
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:28.560
No.
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:29.360
Oh, okay.
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.360
He his name is Adam.
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:33.759
I don't know, but his name is Adam Something.
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.399
Anyway, he has a podcast, but it's like a late night show.
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:37.920
But it's not as funny as ours.
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:39.680
So Oh, really?
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:40.560
Yeah, not really.
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:41.120
Okay.
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.839
I mean, as and like it's not it's not as funny as ours.
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.439
But anyway, so yeah, dude.
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.000
I think um yeah, then then yeah, you know, we'll see what's going on.
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.319
I also just like conversation.
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.920
I think we're really good at conversations.
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:52.879
Oh, okay, cool.
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:53.279
You know?
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.920
Do you are you do you would you say you're good at conversations?
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:57.360
I mean, that's nice.
00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:59.839
I think back to Black History Month, that was fine.
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:00.160
Go ahead.
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.399
I I would say I'm not I don't know if I'd claim to be very good at it.
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:04.720
Yeah.
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.000
I love conversations though.
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:06.319
Yeah.
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:07.360
I I can okay.
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:08.000
That's good.
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.680
I can talk for hours about I like to talk a little bit more like the deeper things in life.
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:14.879
Like how deep.
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.600
Um Wanna rephrase the question.
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:20.319
Okay.
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:21.680
Like when you're going deep.
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:23.120
Okay, anyway.
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:24.240
No, but honestly, yeah.
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.920
Yeah, I I love the like more meaningful kind of uh topics.
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:36.399
Like the meaning of life or I don't know, takeaways of like last year resolutions.
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.199
What is the meaning of last year, would you say?
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:41.040
Do you have an hour?
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:42.319
No, we don't have an hour.
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:42.879
Exactly.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:43.600
Yeah, that's true.
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:44.879
We might actually have an hour.
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.000
No, we definitely don't.
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:47.439
You are good at deep conversations.
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.680
You're so good at deep conversations, you talk in your sleep.
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:50.399
That's how good you are.
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:52.319
You talk in your sleep, Greg.
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:53.680
Why why do you know that?
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.240
Because I'm awake when you're talking in your sleep.
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:57.439
You go to bed.
00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.279
By the way, we're roommates, by the way.
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:02.079
I'm not gay, but I'm just saying, like, we're we're roommates.
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:06.240
And so sometimes I'll go to sleep and I'll hear like what?
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.279
That's probably only when I'm stressed out though.
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:10.959
No, I'm just kind of a loss.
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:12.639
You were talking in your sleep like two nights ago.
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:13.040
Really?
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:13.680
Yeah, dude.
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:19.759
I was like, cause it was like, because I got home from work and it was late and I'd watched like House of Dragon or something.
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:21.120
I was in my room.
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.439
And I'm like, is Greg calling me?
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:25.759
Because you were very much tired when I was like.
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:26.560
I was talking that line.
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:27.439
You were talking, you know.
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.240
And I was like, I was like, what, Greg?
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.840
I don't know what your savager is like, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no.
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:34.639
Yeah, no, no, no.
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.159
I was like, what did the It's funny?
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:36.879
I used to talk much.
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:38.000
You should have woken me up.
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:39.120
No, that's fine, bro.
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.960
That means you're in a deep rem or something.
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:42.480
I guess so, technically, yeah.
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:42.799
Yeah.
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.039
But then I'd remember my dream, you know, if it woke me up.
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.399
Do you remember your dream?
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:47.200
Not really.
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.720
Speaking of dreams, you've been dreaming a lot.
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:52.080
And sharing them with me.
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.039
Did I tell me?
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.440
It's funny because I've never cared about your dreams.
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:56.240
Ever.
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:57.200
Ever.
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.799
But every night you're like, or every morning, like, oh, I had the weirdest dream last night.
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:01.120
I did.
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:02.320
I don't remember asking.
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.200
It's because what so these dreams I wake up, dude.
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.039
And you ever wake up and have these dreams, bro?
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.360
Where you wake up and you're like you're still feeling the emotions of the dream.
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:17.039
Like, dude, I had a dream one time where I was running down a hallway, and this old guy was with me.
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.879
He had a big handlebar mustache.
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.120
Kind of look like the KFC guy.
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:28.080
And anyway, so we're driving we're we're running, and these guys are chasing us, right?
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:29.519
What a coincidence.
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:32.240
Okay.
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:34.399
What a great dream for you, huh?
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:35.200
Oh, I don't know.
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:41.679
And um, so we're we're in the hallway, and we freaking enter in this room, and these guys are banging on the door.
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.639
And I'm like, holy frick, what do we do?
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.799
And I have something, and he has a sword, and the guy goes, Hey.
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:48.960
So the KFC mascot is with you in this.
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:51.360
They're banging on the door.
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:52.399
Yeah, so we're banging there.
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.639
No, no, no, and these guys are chasing us and banging on the door.
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.720
So um, so we're in the freaking room, right?
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:58.000
And I'm going, holy crap.
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:02.960
And so across in the window, there's like a window, we're on like the top floor of like a 35th floor or everything.
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:16.559
And then across the street is like a McDonald's and like a hedge of grass, and so I jump across to the grass and I go to McDonald's, and then I'm suddenly in like a beach, and Greg, are you listening?
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:17.039
Yeah.
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.120
Greg, come on, listen to my dream, bro.
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:20.720
I don't care about your dream.
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:21.759
That's the thing.
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.360
I never Okay.
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.639
Alright, so KFC, you jump out the window to McDonald's.
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.120
No, I'm not in KFC, I'm with the KFC guy.
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:32.480
Yeah, KFC guy, and you jump out the window to McDonald's of all places.
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:33.360
Continue.
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.519
Yeah, and then I woke up.
00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:39.039
Yeah, and then you asked me to interpret your dream the next morning.
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:39.679
No, I didn't.
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.240
Yes, you did.
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:41.919
I've had dude, I had a dream like 10 years ago.
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:43.840
But I'll never forget it.
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:45.840
She's trying to cook my egg.
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.080
What was the last uh dream that you remembered?
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:49.360
Uh I don't know.
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.799
Do you remember your dreams?
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:51.919
Not really.
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.720
I mean, a few will always like stick out, but I don't know.
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.240
I don't really remember them.
00:10:59.360 --> 00:10:59.600
Yeah.
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:01.360
No.
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.200
Yeah, I don't know, dude.
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.919
Actually, when I had that interview for Oh you of course.
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:08.960
I'm trying to go back to the street.
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.519
When I had that interview for my job, I woke up like five times that night.
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:14.240
Oh yeah, yeah.
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.159
Like dreaming I was in the interview.
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:16.480
Yeah.
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.840
A few times I killed it, a few times I like actually, you know, dropped dead.
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:20.320
Yeah.
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:25.039
But um I mean worked out, I got the job, so heck yeah, dude.
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:26.960
But I work next Thursday.
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:28.240
I will say this.
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.440
Uh with dreams, when you're stressful, you have a stressful time with your sleep.
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:36.480
Yeah, I mean that goes for everyone.
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.440
When I said it like it was like, yeah, when you're stressful, you're gonna have a stressful time sleeping.
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.080
Yeah, great, great knowledge drop there.
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:44.720
Thank you, man.
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:45.279
Really appreciate it.
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:46.960
Did you stitch that jacket yourself?
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.840
Yeah, I crocheted it myself.
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.320
Is this the same one you wore on Gavin's episode?
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:52.960
No.
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:54.240
I don't know.
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:55.440
No, I'm just kidding.
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:56.240
I have no idea.
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.120
Oh my goodness.
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.480
So Black History Month, what's your favorite thing about black people?
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:06.080
I don't know if um I don't know if I I wanna talk about this.
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.559
I just doesn't feel like a winning topic for me.
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:09.120
Really?
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.759
Yeah, I don't I don't But you are part black, though.
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:12.559
That's true.
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.240
So are you saying there's a size?
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:15.360
No, no, I'm not saying that.
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.559
I'm just saying, you know, there's a lot of room for for error in this topic.
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:19.360
You know what I mean?
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:21.360
I don't think we're like, it's not a gamble, dude.
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:22.559
I want to talk about black people.
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:23.360
Okay, yeah.
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.600
I think that black people are great for the most part, and hear me out.
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:28.159
Okay.
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:29.679
I got nothing.
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.279
Uh we're moving on to topics.
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:32.639
Uh, let's see, dude.
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:34.000
Have you ever thought about doing stand-up?
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.000
Um not really.
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.039
Never?
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:40.399
No.
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:41.919
No, not really.
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.559
I don't I don't know.
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.879
The idea of going up in front of all those people to get laughs.
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:50.720
I I love it and I love the art.
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.080
Going up in front and doing it's never really crossed my mind.
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.879
Do you get a high do you ever get a high of getting laughs?
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.200
Like if you say something funny, you're like, ah, you're like, oh that oh good.
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:00.639
Oh yeah, for sure.
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:05.440
When when you're hanging out with people and they're all like dying off of something you said, it's the best.
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:06.159
It's hilarious.
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:06.480
Yeah.
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.480
But I don't I don't know.
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:09.279
Yeah.
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:10.559
That's not really for me.
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:11.840
Let's talk about starting.
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:13.360
Like, for instance, this podcast.
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:13.919
Uh-huh.
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:21.120
Um obviously there's thousands of podcasts out there.
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:21.600
Uh-huh.
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:26.960
Um maybe something we want to do to make this one like actually different.
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:31.039
But also, um I think the art of starting.
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:36.480
A lot of people want to do business or like, oh yeah, I inspired to do this, I want to do that.
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:38.559
But they never actually begin.
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:38.960
Yeah.
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.240
Most of them don't have to.
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:42.000
Talk to me a little bit about that.
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:49.200
Of finally kind of getting a plan down, like actually going in and doing what it is that you've been wanting to do.
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.000
I don't think I don't think ready is like an actual time.
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:55.200
It's more of a mindset.
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.480
Well, to me, it's just like what else?
00:13:58.879 --> 00:13:59.279
You know?
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:00.720
Like what else?
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:06.639
Like, for example, with you, you're going, hey, I found my thing, I'm sticking to it, I'm going.
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:20.399
I think the rare thing that I and the reason why I think I wanted to call it rare wave is because it's it's so rare for people to actually chase their dreams because they're going, hey, it's a dream.
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:21.039
I don't have this.
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:22.559
Sometimes it is a dream.
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.919
Like a girl that sounds like a crow, she ain't going to go to the Grammy.
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:26.720
You feel what I'm saying?
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.320
She ain't she ain't getting a Grammy.
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:34.960
But someone who can who's been affirmed by certain people that they can trust and go, hey, you're you're funny, or you could do that, you know what I mean?
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:36.559
Why not tap into that?
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:37.360
You know what I mean?
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.879
Because then for me, it's like it creates a pendulum of going, I wish I could have done this.
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.799
It's like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite.
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:46.480
Man, I if I'd trained a go, I could have gone pro I could have gone football over the mountains.
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.799
I'm not trying to be Uncle Rico, you know what I mean?
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:54.879
Um, and every single person, every single successful person had to go through the month.
00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:02.399
That's why a lot of times actors, almost every single actor at one point was a server, at one point did this, washed disses, was an intern, did this.
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.919
So it's like you're going to have to have a crappy job in life, anyways.
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:15.360
Um, to me, just like my calling, in my opinion, was to entertain people, and and so far it's it's been going well, it's slowly but surely.
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:22.480
And I think a podcast is just like bringing some of the fun things that I find, some of the things that I enjoy, which is talking to people.
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:32.000
And it's honestly the new wave because it's like creating your own thing uh is so much so good on so many levels.
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:33.600
I mean, like I said, it's Black Herschel Month.
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.840
I mean, um what is anything anyway.
00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:40.159
Uh the theme to me is like it's ownership.
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:48.720
It's like if you start something from the ground up, you could be like, hey, one, you could show that and go, hey, look, this is what I made, this is what I built with nothing.
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.399
And so companies and freaking agencies and all that stuff can be like, hey, you know what?
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.000
Let's invest time in this person.
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:55.840
Um, that's just a long answer.
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.360
Um No, I I love it.
00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:57.919
You know what I mean?
00:15:58.159 --> 00:15:58.879
That's a very good answer.
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:04.320
Also, like it's just risky, like actually going for it, because you know what I mean?
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:10.320
It's always like corny or funny or like, oh, that's kind of interesting, until it actually turns out into something.
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:11.120
You know what I mean?
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:13.840
But you can look at any podcast ever.
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:15.519
It it started at zero as well.
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:15.840
Yeah.
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.759
Because we have like 23 followers.
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:18.960
But that's another story.
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:24.080
Talk to me about um more of your like goals.
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:27.360
Not necessarily with this podcast of just entertainment.
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:32.000
Because you're definitely everything I know about you screams entertainer.
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:32.320
Yeah.
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:42.720
I see that's where your passion's at, I see that's where your goals are at, uh, just your mindset, your desires, all of that is really uh gun hole towards that towards that.
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:45.440
I thought I saw a spider.
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:50.799
Wasn't that a bad idea?
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:51.600
What was the question?
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.679
I'm talking about your passion over here.
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:58.159
No, sorry, I'm just saying I saw freaking Cinderella's freaking not Cinderella, freaking Who cares?
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:00.720
I was like, I don't I wanted to make sure you were safe.
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:01.600
I wouldn't be surprised.
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:03.039
Oh, uh Yeah, man.
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:04.720
You're Wilbur in this scenario.
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:05.519
The pig.
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:06.000
Okay.
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:07.920
So disrespectful.
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:10.480
Okay, no, so it just your Muslim.
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:11.759
Sorry, go ahead.
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.279
So just your uh Yeah, well, you know, thanks for thanks for answering that question.
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:17.680
I did hear it and I wanted to just see if you would repeat it again.
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.400
Um it's honestly from trauma, man.
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:23.359
It's from trauma.
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:24.960
You know about getting can I explain?
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:25.839
Especially last year.
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:26.559
You asked me a question.
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.400
I know, I just You asked me a question, and I'm gonna freaking answer it, alright?
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:32.799
I was just advocating your response.
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.400
Because you have had a lot, a lot of trauma over the last year.
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:38.160
I'm just I'm agreeing with you.
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:39.039
No, no, no, no.
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:43.920
What happened last year?
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:44.799
That was good, that was good.
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:45.920
That was good, that was good, that was good.
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:50.799
Uh no, honestly, not trauma, but I will say it did come from So it wasn't the trauma of last year?
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.480
No, not for Okay, sorry.
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:54.079
No, um No.
00:17:54.400 --> 00:18:01.839
It's from Honestly, it's from Honestly, uh not feeling like I got enough attention when I was a kid.
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:04.960
I think that's why I started doing funny stuff, trying to be the funny guy.
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.160
See you asked me a serious question.
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.319
It came from not getting enough attention as a kid.
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:13.359
That's so sad.
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:15.680
I'm so- I started with saying it was trauma.
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:16.799
Alright, you know what it's so funny.
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.279
Maybe that's why I don't feel the need to be comedian.
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:20.240
You know what I mean?
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.079
I was loved so much as a child.
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.079
Give the proper attention, fed well, you know what I mean?
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:27.039
All of the above.
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:27.920
So I don't feel that.
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:29.279
You know what's so funny, girl?
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:29.839
You can't say that.
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:36.640
When I met you, you look like I was I I was literally 70 pounds, 75 pounds going into high school.
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.720
Yeah, freaking skinny frick.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:40.319
Yeah, it was it was tough.
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:41.279
No, you look good, man.
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.480
No, I'm not gay, but um, no, uh, yeah, no, I mean not trauma.
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:45.200
I don't call it trauma.
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:45.680
It wasn't bad.
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:51.440
It was just it was just I grew up in a big family, and so to uh kind of get a voice and you had to speak up.
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:54.880
Excuse me, man, did I speak up?
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:56.240
Um, and so yeah.
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:04.880
And honestly, bro, like I remember one time I was saying something crazy about this one girl's mom who happened to have cancer, and he got so mad at me.
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:11.039
And the person, it was at church, and the and the my leader was like, hey man, I know you didn't know this, but you can't be doing that stuff.
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:12.880
And that's why I was like, Oh, I can't just say anything again.
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:15.440
Uh high school, like 16.
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:17.359
Oh, I was like, please don't say high school.
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:17.599
No.
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:20.480
You were 16 years old and you figured out you can't joke about it.
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.160
I didn't I didn't know she had cancer.
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:24.400
I said something about his mom or something.
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:31.440
But that's when I was like, alright, cool, you have to wash your mouth and do it in a very and that's kind of when I was like, oh, like I don't know.
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.680
So that was just something about comedy.
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:34.960
Um, entertaining.
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.319
Yeah, I want to say entertaining as far as just the arts to me.
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.039
There's nothing cooler than creating something.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.839
And then seeing people enjoy that creation.
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:47.279
So whether it's stand-up, that's one of my that's my favorite thing.
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:54.319
Is you say say a joke, like right now I could say a joke, like Greg, um you look like that.
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:56.079
That's a funny joke, you know what I mean?
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:56.960
The fridge?
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:57.839
Yeah.
00:19:58.480 --> 00:19:59.119
You know?
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:02.160
See, you're laughing already, man.
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:03.920
I was gonna say that.
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:06.079
You know whose friend looks like that?
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:10.559
Yeah, yeah, come on, inside joke, people.
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:16.400
Um, yeah, dude, like it to me, comedy's super funny because you get to stand on a on a stage, you go, hey guys, my name is Justin Harg.
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:22.880
I grew up with a black churchman as a plat preacher, so I need some black church crowd, you know, and you see the crowd beat, they have drinks in their hand, they're like, yeah.
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.359
And if it bombs, silence.
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:26.799
And you go, frick.
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:28.960
Alright, let me go back to the drama, let me do this.
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:30.880
If it kills, it's awesome.
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.279
Same thing with the YouTube video, same thing with the movie.
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:35.599
You go in to say, hey, people like that, people don't like this.
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:39.039
I've been in a lot of movies where people didn't like, but that's okay.
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:40.000
That's alright.
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:40.640
Shout out.
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:42.000
Ah, that's the last episode.
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:42.319
Alright.
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:50.559
Um I think that's one of the toughest parts for me in terms of like being a comedian and like seeing that.
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.359
Yeah.
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:56.000
How is that feeling of like still having that passion after you go and bomb?
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:56.640
Okay.
00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:59.599
No, I mean, I don't care.
00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:00.960
Everyone's everyone's bombed.
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:01.440
I bombed.
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:05.200
You've played some recordings, because you of course you record every single time, so you can learn from it.
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:05.359
Yeah.
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:09.119
And you've played me some recordings, and it's like, oh my gosh, you can hear a pin drop.
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:14.960
Now it's rare, but still, I feel like that's such an awful experience.
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:21.279
What keeps that mindset, like, alright, let me go back to the drawing board, as opposed to like, I don't know, this is for me.
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:26.559
Well, I think I've definitely had moments where I'm like, yeah, this honestly, you know what's crazy.
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.079
I I think um it's just an addiction.
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:34.160
Like every single comic I've talked to, and you talk to a comic, they'll go, it's like a drug, bro.
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:44.799
Because like I said, it's either one, you feel that rush, that high of people's applause, people's laughter, or two, the silence is even more addicting because then you can go, oh no, I got this.
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:49.440
Like, comics are very stubborn people, good, true comics are very stubborn people.
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:51.200
Um, like I told you this, bro.
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:55.119
Up last time I bombed, dude, was in a room of 25 people.
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:59.839
Eddie Murphy's ex wife was there, and I bombed so hard, and I tried to flirt with her, I didn't know who she was.
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:02.960
I got off stage and it was just bad.
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:07.920
And the people with comics were like giving you that look where it was like, Oh, so how long you been doing comedy for?
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.079
And you're like, ah, this is a tough one.
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.960
But like, even then you're going, oh man, I can do better.
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:14.400
And and I'm still new, bro.
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:18.799
I've only been doing it for like what, eight months, maybe?
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:19.759
Not even a year.
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.720
Eight months, dude.
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:22.400
And so still like the drawing.
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.000
And the one thing I like about it is it's such a cool community, bro.
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:27.359
Like, no offense with actors.
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:33.599
As far as entertainment is concerned, that's my favorite medium because actors, bro, they're just I call them the leg crossing people, bro.
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.279
You know, I'm talking about like the people like, so my favorite show is going to be the freaking.
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:39.759
And you're like, get the frick out of here, man.
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:40.480
You know?
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:47.599
Um I feel like there's a you know, we might have some actors on the show, some failing actors on this show at some point.
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:48.000
Yeah.
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:50.480
But I don't know.
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:53.119
A lot of it feels like a per performance.
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:54.000
Well, it is.
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.079
Because, oh yeah, my favorite movie is this.
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.559
And you probably haven't heard of it, of course, because you know it's 1970.
00:22:58.799 --> 00:22:59.279
Oh my gosh, dude.
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:03.119
And you're just like Why can't you just like have a normal conversation?
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:03.839
You know what I hate?
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:09.119
Or why do we have to like like gatekeep or like just just talk to me about it then?
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:10.880
We don't have to, oh, you've never heard of this.
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.000
It's like my favorite.
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:13.839
It's like cool, man.
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:14.319
Thanks.
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.839
I'm gonna go talk to somebody else.
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:16.480
Yeah, dude.
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:18.319
It's like crossing their legs, dude.
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:23.119
You know who I don't like, the topic who I don't like is when people you ask them, hey, what's your favorite band?
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.480
Uh here's this underground guy in the 90s.
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:27.680
You probably haven't heard of him.
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:29.519
His name is uh Eminem.
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:30.400
You're like, what, dude?
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:31.440
That's everyone knows Eminem.
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.880
So yeah, but like But no, like Eminem when he first started.
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:37.279
Here's the word Deep Cut.
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:42.880
It's a deep cut meets Eminem meets the godfather, meets Charles Manson.
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:44.640
You're like, what the frick is going on here, man?
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.960
Like those people, those people are very they're and they're very nice in their own way.
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:58.000
But to me, I'm like, I grew up, and we grew up, like, bro, Josh and locker room talk, and it's not too crazy, but I'm just saying, like, comics will will accept you if you're funny.
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:01.039
If you're not funny, they'll be like, hey bro, keep working at it.
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:01.759
You know what I mean?
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:05.920
Because you'll come you'll come into a green room where like, dude, I did a show at the ice house.
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:12.559
First time I did a show at the ice house, Tom Arnold's there, and like a guy I did open mic with is also in the same room.
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:18.720
Tom Arnold is uh a comic that was married to um um what's her name?
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:20.960
Frick Leanne?
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:22.079
No, not Leanne.
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.519
Frick.
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:24.240
What's her name?
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:24.799
Who cares?
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:26.880
Yeah, anyway, he's married to a famous comic.
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:31.279
Um and but but he's also a very good comedian, he's been doing it for years.
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:40.319
And I'm just going like this what rarely happens in the industry, in the acting industry, where you have a seasoned veteran who's hilarious, and then you have someone who just started out.
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:42.400
But if they're both funny, they're both funny.
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:43.200
You know what I mean?
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:48.400
So, you know, I uh yeah, I think I think it's I I think it's awesome.
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.319
Um, but overall, just entertaining is just I think it's what I'm called to do.
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:56.079
And I think once you find that thing, you stick with it no matter what.
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:01.839
Like the coolest thing I was talking to somebody yesterday actually at some event where they were just like talking about plan B's.
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:06.319
It's like people that don't have plan B's when it comes to plans, Greg.
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:07.680
Which reminded of the gutter dog.
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:08.240
Okay, yeah.
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:09.920
Um I just cracking on.
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:10.319
Yeah.
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:15.039
No, uh, people that don't have plan B's are going to beat the people out that do have plan B's.
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:15.759
You know why?
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:16.000
Yeah.
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:25.200
Because while you're at your full-time job and you're having your dream as the part-time, other people are having six part-time jobs so they can have their main dream be the focus.
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:30.160
So, for example, with comedy, I'm out there every night doing mics, doing mics, doing spots.
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.559
That's opposed to the person that has, man, I have a full-time job, I'll try to get out there.
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:37.599
So it's like, bro, just commit to the other thing if you're not gonna, you know.
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:38.319
Right, right.
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:43.440
So I think that's that to me is like why I'm so gun-ho about doing things.
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:48.880
Like, it's like, hey man, I'd rather do that than than not, you know what I mean?
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.079
Than than put my time focus here and as it's interesting.
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:57.039
I've heard a lot of people who have succeeded who said you really need to go all in.
00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:57.359
Yeah.
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.079
And like not have a plan B.
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:00.400
Yeah.
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:02.799
Because when you don't have a plan B, it's this or nothing.
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:03.039
Yeah.
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:05.039
And it's just it's the only option.
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:05.359
Yeah.
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:06.960
So you you have to succeed.
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:07.200
Yeah.
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:09.519
Because there's no other way it's gonna work out.
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:10.000
Yeah.
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.960
And that mindset um helps a lot.
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:13.519
Yeah.
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:16.160
Especially with um just pursuing it.
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:19.920
A lot of comedy I've seen is just doing it over and over and over.
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:20.400
Yeah.
00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:21.599
Get the reps in.
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:22.960
That's how it works for anything.
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.640
Because you build confidence with uh repetition.
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:27.119
Yeah.
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:36.960
If you do something over and over, uh whether in whatever field, the restaurant, or whether it's more in like the medical field, yeah, as I'm in now, it's just repetition.
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:37.359
Yeah.
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:42.240
Just doing it over all these different scenarios in and you learn from each and every one.
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:42.720
Yeah.
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:45.119
It's very important to learn from each and everyone, but you should.
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.079
Especially if you're passionate about it, you're gonna have those takeaways.
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:48.480
Yeah.
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:50.880
And you honestly, you freaking that's where it comes from.
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:54.000
It's like you shoot for the stars, reach for the moon.
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:55.279
What is it again?
00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:59.599
I don't have no shoot shoot for the moon, reach the stars?
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:00.319
Yeah, something like that.
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:00.960
Logically.
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:09.119
Either way, dude, you land up on a freaking Mercury-filled Saturn Uranus, bro, and I think um that didn't make any sense.
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:12.880
But what I'm trying to say is that, yeah, dude, and you'll and also here's the thing, too, man.
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:14.319
You only have one life.
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:25.440
Why the frick would you waste one life on something that you don't have a passion for because you're like, hey man, I'm supposed to do this, I'm supposed to find a girl, I'm supposed to get married.
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:41.039
Now, don't get me wrong, we both want to do that, but I'm just saying, it's it's this weird thing where your dreams that might have been suppressed because you're like, you know what, this is the right thing to do, or this is what my family's telling me to do, you'll suppress it, and then you'll end up being bitter towards your family.
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:41.920
You might be.
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:59.519
This is I'm not saying guarantee, but I'm saying you might, you might do that might happen, and then you're making decisions based off of these unrealized expectations or dreams and things, and then so you're trying to make sure that your kid never has to, you know, let's say you're working hard, you're like, no, I want to make sure that my kid got what I never got, which is a choice to do whatever he wants.
00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:04.880
We're kind of at the stage, like, and I know, like, at least for me, where I can't have the opportunity.
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.319
I don't need to look out for my family, I don't need to be paying my parents' bills or whatever.
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:10.160
So I can go, alright, cool.
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:18.880
But still, because my parents have invested in into what I have, I want to make sure that I'm doing everything that I can to make them proud.
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:20.799
Um, because that's another thing, too.
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:24.559
It's like I don't like when people are like, hey man, I came up from nothing by myself.
00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:26.079
That's literally impossible.
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.160
Because God puts people in your life to kind of put you on the journey.
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:35.839
Sure, you gotta put the extra work in, but um, that that whole idea of, oh man, I didn't do this.
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:36.799
No, you didn't, bro.
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:38.240
I didn't, you didn't.
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:44.960
A girl had to freaking get pregnant and nine months later carry you carry you from my nine months just for you to even enter into this world.
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:47.279
So you're not no one's doing this by themselves.
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:48.000
Right, right.
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:57.839
Um, but that's that's a rare, I don't know, that's just to me is a is rare to find someone who I don't know, is is on that wavelength.
00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:58.559
You know what I'm saying?
00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:59.039
100%.
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:05.200
So um what do you as far okay, so as far as what do you want?
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:15.839
Because I feel like you represent a and don't get this the don't take this the wrong way, but you represent, and this is kind of why I wanted you to do it with me, is like you represent someone the frick did I cut my head?
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:20.559
You represent someone who isn't in the entertainment world but is around it a lot, I feel.
00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:22.640
Just through proximity, you know what I mean?
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:23.279
Right, right.
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:25.839
Like what are your hopes and dreams, Greg?
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:38.640
Um hopes and dreams, honestly, I don't I'm gonna try and cut this as short as possible.
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:43.759
Because I think anyone's answer to that is long.
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:52.319
Um I think my hopes and dreams have switched and it's a lot more relational.
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:52.960
Yeah.
00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:59.440
Um I've learned a lot in a lot of ways that uh because money isn't everything.
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:05.279
Because it's something I pursued a lot, and then I started making a decent amount of money.
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:08.000
More than I thought I would have, definitely at this stage.
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:08.480
Yeah.
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:13.279
And um there's just a few wake-up calls along the way.
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:17.359
Like that car accident that we got into that one day.
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:17.759
Yeah.
00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:19.680
Or just a lot of other things.
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:22.240
It's a lot more relational centered.
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:28.640
And um just cause Dude, death, this is a bit morbid, but death waits for us all.
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.680
And when I'm there, I I know I'm not gonna want to see a pay stop.
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:38.960
Or like look at my savings account, or I gotta invest more money, pull it up one more time.
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:45.039
Like I I'm gonna wanna be surrounded by those people that meant the world to me.
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:46.640
Something that really made me think.
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:56.640
I remember someone asked me, if you can have everyone you've ever met in your entire life in this one room, when you walk in that room, who's the first person you're looking for?
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:10.079
And truly, so many names popped up, and I I think it kind of depends on the feeling or what I'm currently going through in the time that kind of defines who that person would be.
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:13.200
Yeah, but uh it's so much more relational.
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:20.079
And um I I think that's definitely been more of a journey for 2024.
00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:22.799
Yeah, and just kind of seeing that 2026.
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:25.359
I'm sorry, yeah, a journey from 2025.
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:25.759
Oh, yeah.
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:32.480
That now I'm definitely putting into action end of that year, and into this year, into the rest of my life.
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:35.920
So it's a lot more like, dude, I want to experience things.
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:40.079
I want to use this this money that I've worked hard for to do things.
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:40.480
Yeah.
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.000
I want to uh have those conversations, you know, meet these people.
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:47.839
Uh I I think there's nothing more beautiful in this world than a conversation.
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:48.720
Yeah.
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:51.839
That always is so fascinating to me.
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:53.279
Everybody has a story.
00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:53.839
Yeah.
00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:56.000
We can go walk in a grocery store.
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.279
And everyone has their own like little personal thing they're going through.
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:02.240
You know what I mean?
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:02.559
Yeah.
00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:08.160
And dude, I could sit down and talk with them for hours about like what that is or takeaways.
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:11.920
Um, I just love getting into the deeper things in life.
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:13.680
I think there's so much meaning in there.
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:15.519
And it's something I missed out on.
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:16.079
Yeah.
00:32:16.319 --> 00:32:16.880
For sure.
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:17.519
Yeah.
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.599
And yeah, I think that's more of my hopes and dreams.
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:25.279
Well, not getting into very specifics, but that's like the general of it.
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:26.079
You know what I mean?
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:27.200
Alright.
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:30.160
And that's why I'm happy to be here.
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:32.799
You know, as you're saying, we're on this this rare wave.
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:33.119
Yeah.
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:33.599
That's gone.
00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:34.400
Come on, son.
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:40.079
No, honestly, bro, I gotta tell you, dude, I um I'm excited to see where this goes.
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:48.000
And um, yeah, but it's one of those things where like I said, everyone is having their own podcasts and doing this and doing that, but I think time will tell.
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:52.400
Um dude, and also like this is this is ours, you know what I mean?
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:53.599
Definitely your idea.
00:32:53.839 --> 00:33:01.759
I know I'm a little bit more along for the ride, but at the same time, dude, I'd love to go back over the years and watch one of these.
00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:02.240
Yeah.
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:04.480
Like from our mansions in Montana.
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:05.680
Come on, it's like give me some data.
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:07.599
No, I'm not moving to Montana, not that Montana again.
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:08.559
I want to go to Montana.
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:09.440
No, get a lake.
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:12.480
But uh, yeah, I I can't wait to see where this goes.
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.839
And it doesn't have to be, you know, a trending podcast.
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:17.279
Oh, I mean, I wouldn't mind.
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:18.720
Oh, yeah, of course.
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:21.039
But you know, we're gonna have good conversations on here.
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:22.880
We're gonna learn, we're gonna laugh.
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:24.160
Um, we're gonna cry.
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:26.160
Justin cries a lot, so he'll probably cry.
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:27.119
A lot during movies.
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:28.240
Yeah, like movies.
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:29.599
Especially like Disney movies.
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:32.640

00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:35.119
Snow Black.
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:39.279
Well, yeah, so um, yeah, I'd say that's just more of what this is.
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:41.200
Yeah, we're just gonna have fun, we're gonna laugh.
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:44.160
