6
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.440
Excited to have a comedy call right now with the
7
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.559
very funny and talented Mike Baldwin. He will be at
8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.559
Billy Frogs in Sioux Falls for a return event on
9
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.160
Thursday night. He'll also be at the Grain Band in
10
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.519
Sioux Falls on Friday night. Mike Baldwin, We're excited to
11
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.600
have you back in Seoue Falls. Thanks for chatting with us.
12
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.399
Man Well, hello to Falldah.
13
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.280
Absolutely Thursday night at Billy Frogs Friday night at the
14
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.520
Grain Band. You get out and do a lot of shows.
15
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.320
I follow you on social media. How many shows do
16
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:43.960
you do a year?
17
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:49.640
Oh? I wouldn't even begin to know, anywhere between one
18
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:55.520
per weekend and seven per weekend, just depending on the
19
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.079
venue and what town I'm in and all of that.
20
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:06.200
Of what is that fifty two shows per year plus
21
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:07.120
a few more.
22
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.239
Well, I know it's a lot because I follow you
23
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.480
on social media, and you were always somewhere doing something and.
24
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.599
In your travels you get to go out.
25
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.879
And go to some fun bars, but you get to
26
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.359
meet some interesting and funny people along the way, don't you.
27
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.680
Well, I mean those two words are not always good necessarily,
28
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.879
but yes, I meet. I've been sober from alcohol for
29
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.239
a little over eleven years now, and there's nothing that
30
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.280
helps me want to stay sober more than just seeing
31
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.079
a drunken idiot stumbling around at a comedy show. Oh no,
32
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.159
I hope that there will be plenty of those to
33
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.480
keep my alcohol free streak going.
34
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.400
Well, we'll probably have a few of those, because people
35
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.480
here like to have a good time. And I'll tell
36
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.400
you what, I love watching your video, and I know
37
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:01.760
I'm not the only one. You've got a bunch of
38
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.280
videos with a bunch of views on social media. And
39
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.120
when you first started posting these videos of you kind
40
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.159
of doing some jokes but also doing some crowd work
41
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.240
responding to the audience, did you have any idea you'd
42
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.520
have so many people watching each and every one of
43
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:15.080
your videos.
44
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.639
Mike, Well, I mean that's always the hope, you know,
45
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.759
is that every video is going to get one hundred
46
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.520
million views or something, you know. But no, I definitely
47
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.639
I've had a few big bumps along the way. I'm
48
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:33.800
at about forty five thousand followers on Facebook now, and
49
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.719
I would say about thirty five thousand of those came
50
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.080
from one or two videos the same on TikTok. I
51
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.919
have seventy six thousand followers on TikTok, and I think
52
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.120
I got seventy five thousand of them from like the
53
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.080
third video that I ever posted.
54
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:53.560
That is awesome.
55
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.120
So, Mike, what was that magic video that did so
56
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.560
well for you well on TikTok.
57
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.800
It was in I want to say, like October of
58
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.479
twenty twenty. I was one of the few that was
59
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:12.360
questioning the entire fauci COVID stuff, and I figured what
60
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.759
the heck, and I threw that video up and the
61
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.719
next morning it had half a million views and I
62
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.560
had fifty thousand new followers. So I think that's what
63
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:26.080
people wanted at the time. And it's kind of neat
64
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.479
to go back now and watch that because it turns
65
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.240
out I wasn't very wrong about most of it.
66
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.800
It's vindication for Mike Baldwin. We love it.
67
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:40.120
Yeah, But definitely, I've been to one of the places
68
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:41.840
that I'm doing this weekend.
69
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.280
Right, Yeah, you were at Billy Frogs and I think
70
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.199
it might have been in March of this year, and
71
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.479
people loved you and they wanted you back. So you're
72
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:49.879
coming back this Thursday.
73
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.080
What were the little steak bite saying, That's what I'm
74
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:55.439
looking forward to the most.
75
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:56.400
Yeah. Chislick.
76
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.039
Yeah, chislick is a thing that we do in South Dakota,
77
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:00.879
and you're definitely going to have to get some chislick
78
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:01.719
while you're here, and.
79
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.080
I definitely will. I can't wait. I hope that a
80
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.879
bunch of people hear this and rush to their phones
81
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.800
or computers or whatever and get tickets or however you
82
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:12.439
got to do it.
83
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.080
Yeah, And here's the cool thing. The show at Billy Frogs.
84
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.839
We do that every Thursday. That show is free, and
85
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.879
then we've got this new room on Friday night. The
86
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.519
same company that owns Billy Frogs owns this other bar.
87
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.160
And you're gonna love this other room. It's just a
88
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.480
really really neat feel to the room. And officially you
89
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.759
can buy tickets for that show, but I've been giving
90
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.279
away a bunch of tickets because I just want people
91
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.600
to get in the room. So if there's somebody listening
92
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:37.879
and going, hey, I don't want to buy a ticket,
93
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.160
call and talk to me. I'll hook you up with
94
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:40.959
a free ticket. I just want you to be there,
95
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.079
and I want you to see Mike. That's why I
96
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.160
have people going. So you're having a guy in town
97
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.519
on Thursday for a free show, and then you want
98
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.079
me to buy a ticket on Friday, I'm like, no,
99
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:50.639
I want you to get to that room on Friday.
100
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.639
I'll give you a free ticket there too. Originally I
101
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.279
wanted to open the new room in September, but they
102
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.759
wanted to open it in July, which is a weird
103
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.720
time to start doing. That's like the weirdest time of
104
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.360
the year when you're competing with fairs and festivals and
105
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.120
everybody's cousin's wedding. But the room is it's coming along
106
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.800
really well. It looks amazing, and I want people to
107
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.600
be in the room on Friday for two reasons. I
108
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.319
want them to see Mike Baldwin because this guy is hilarious.
109
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.240
But I also want them in there because I got
110
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.279
to get some really good photos of this room looking full.
111
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.519
We've had people at all of these shows but I
112
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.800
want to have a nice, big full room this Friday
113
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.639
with Mike Baldwin so I can use those photos for
114
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.879
marketing purposes for this fall when people are coming out
115
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.040
looking for stuff to do. Yeah, and I think that
116
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.079
the best show for people to get and get in
117
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.160
and see would be a Mike Baldwin show, don't you think.
118
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.199
I mean, that's what I've always said.
119
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.879
I agree, and I encourage people to come out.
120
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.120
We've got a lot of folks already that have signed
121
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.279
up and I'm putting them on my OLVIP list. So folks,
122
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.480
if you want tickets, you could go and buy tickets,
123
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.480
and I'm okay with that too. But if you just
124
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.839
reach out to me, I'll put you down for a
125
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.920
table so you can bring three friends. There's room for
126
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.199
four people at each table. I just want the room full.
127
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.480
And here's I had a guy say, well, if you're
128
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.040
taking photos, you're probably just looking for good looking people, right.
129
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.040
I'm like, well, with the lighting, we'll put you in
130
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:06.959
the back, in the shadow, so it'll be okay.
131
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.560
If you are good looking, then then you get extra points.
132
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:13.839
Yeah, so then we'll put your table right up front.
133
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.600
There's a point system here, so dress nice and maybe
134
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.160
you'll earn some points there.
135
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:20.839
You go, well, I am excited to have you back
136
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:22.839
in town. Thank you for saying yes when I reach
137
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.680
out and ask you to come and do these silly things.
138
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.680
And again, we're so excited to have you in Sioux
139
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.160
Falls once again. For people who have not yet had
140
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.680
a chance to follow you on social media, what do
141
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.839
I look for on Facebook? What do I look for
142
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.519
on TikTok? To make sure I'm following the right Mike
143
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:37.360
Baldwin account.
144
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.720
You can go to mike isfunny dot com and I
145
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:48.839
have links to my Facebook, my Instagram, my TikTok, my Twitter, YouTube,
146
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.160
whatever else there is. I've got links to everything on there.
147
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:55.839
I've got a few videos embedded on the website, so
148
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.360
you can watch some of that. I would say, don't
149
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.759
watch too many of my videos because I might say
150
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.839
some of those same jokes when you come and see me.
151
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.639
And it's actually it's a coin toss situation there, because
152
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.600
some jokes will be better if you know the joke already,
153
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.759
and other jokes are better if you're surprised you know,
154
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.759
So just do whatever you want to do. But yeah,
155
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.040
come and see us, and you're gonna do a few
156
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:23.439
minutes of comedy as well.
157
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.800
Right, Yeah, I'm going to do a little bit to
158
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.959
open both shows, and I officially I have just you
159
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.079
on the poster because I didn't want people not coming
160
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:32.839
to the show because my face is on there, so
161
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.560
I just have Mike Balder listed. But I'm going to
162
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.639
do a few minutes before Mike at both Billy Frogs
163
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:40.839
and at the Green Bin. And I'm excited to have
164
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:42.879
you here again. It's gonna be a whole lot of
165
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.959
fun to work with you once again. And I'm excited
166
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.680
to see you on Thursday and on Friday. And I'm
167
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.519
excited for you to see this new room. You're gonna
168
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:49.720
love it.
169
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:49.920
Mike.
170
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.279

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.440
Excited to have a comedy call right now with the
7
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:21.559
very funny and talented Mike Baldwin. He will be at
8
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:24.559
Billy Frogs in Sioux Falls for a return event on
9
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.160
Thursday night. He'll also be at the Grain Band in
10
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.519
Sioux Falls on Friday night. Mike Baldwin, We're excited to
11
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.600
have you back in Seoue Falls. Thanks for chatting with us.
12
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.399
Man Well, hello to Falldah.
13
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:39.280
Absolutely Thursday night at Billy Frogs Friday night at the
14
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:41.520
Grain Band. You get out and do a lot of shows.
15
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.320
I follow you on social media. How many shows do
16
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:43.960
you do a year?
17
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:49.640
Oh? I wouldn't even begin to know, anywhere between one
18
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:55.520
per weekend and seven per weekend, just depending on the
19
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.079
venue and what town I'm in and all of that.
20
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:06.200
Of what is that fifty two shows per year plus
21
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:07.120
a few more.
22
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.239
Well, I know it's a lot because I follow you
23
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.480
on social media, and you were always somewhere doing something and.
24
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.599
In your travels you get to go out.
25
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.879
And go to some fun bars, but you get to
26
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:21.359
meet some interesting and funny people along the way, don't you.
27
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.680
Well, I mean those two words are not always good necessarily,
28
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.879
but yes, I meet. I've been sober from alcohol for
29
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.239
a little over eleven years now, and there's nothing that
30
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.280
helps me want to stay sober more than just seeing
31
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.079
a drunken idiot stumbling around at a comedy show. Oh no,
32
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.159
I hope that there will be plenty of those to
33
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.480
keep my alcohol free streak going.
34
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.400
Well, we'll probably have a few of those, because people
35
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.480
here like to have a good time. And I'll tell
36
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.400
you what, I love watching your video, and I know
37
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:01.760
I'm not the only one. You've got a bunch of
38
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:04.280
videos with a bunch of views on social media. And
39
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.120
when you first started posting these videos of you kind
40
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.159
of doing some jokes but also doing some crowd work
41
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.240
responding to the audience, did you have any idea you'd
42
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.520
have so many people watching each and every one of
43
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:15.080
your videos.
44
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.639
Mike, Well, I mean that's always the hope, you know,
45
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.759
is that every video is going to get one hundred
46
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.520
million views or something, you know. But no, I definitely
47
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.639
I've had a few big bumps along the way. I'm
48
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:33.800
at about forty five thousand followers on Facebook now, and
49
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.719
I would say about thirty five thousand of those came
50
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.080
from one or two videos the same on TikTok. I
51
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.919
have seventy six thousand followers on TikTok, and I think
52
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.120
I got seventy five thousand of them from like the
53
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.080
third video that I ever posted.
54
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:53.560
That is awesome.
55
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.120
So, Mike, what was that magic video that did so
56
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.560
well for you well on TikTok.
57
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.800
It was in I want to say, like October of
58
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.479
twenty twenty. I was one of the few that was
59
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:12.360
questioning the entire fauci COVID stuff, and I figured what
60
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.759
the heck, and I threw that video up and the
61
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.719
next morning it had half a million views and I
62
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.560
had fifty thousand new followers. So I think that's what
63
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:26.080
people wanted at the time. And it's kind of neat
64
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.479
to go back now and watch that because it turns
65
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.240
out I wasn't very wrong about most of it.
66
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.800
It's vindication for Mike Baldwin. We love it.
67
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:40.120
Yeah, But definitely, I've been to one of the places
68
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:41.840
that I'm doing this weekend.
69
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.280
Right, Yeah, you were at Billy Frogs and I think
70
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.199
it might have been in March of this year, and
71
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.479
people loved you and they wanted you back. So you're
72
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:49.879
coming back this Thursday.
73
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.080
What were the little steak bite saying, That's what I'm
74
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:55.439
looking forward to the most.
75
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:56.400
Yeah. Chislick.
76
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.039
Yeah, chislick is a thing that we do in South Dakota,
77
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:00.879
and you're definitely going to have to get some chislick
78
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:01.719
while you're here, and.
79
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.080
I definitely will. I can't wait. I hope that a
80
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.879
bunch of people hear this and rush to their phones
81
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.800
or computers or whatever and get tickets or however you
82
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:12.439
got to do it.
83
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.080
Yeah, And here's the cool thing. The show at Billy Frogs.
84
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.839
We do that every Thursday. That show is free, and
85
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.879
then we've got this new room on Friday night. The
86
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.519
same company that owns Billy Frogs owns this other bar.
87
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.160
And you're gonna love this other room. It's just a
88
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.480
really really neat feel to the room. And officially you
89
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.759
can buy tickets for that show, but I've been giving
90
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.279
away a bunch of tickets because I just want people
91
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.600
to get in the room. So if there's somebody listening
92
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:37.879
and going, hey, I don't want to buy a ticket,
93
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.160
call and talk to me. I'll hook you up with
94
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:40.959
a free ticket. I just want you to be there,
95
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.079
and I want you to see Mike. That's why I
96
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.160
have people going. So you're having a guy in town
97
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.519
on Thursday for a free show, and then you want
98
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.079
me to buy a ticket on Friday, I'm like, no,
99
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:50.639
I want you to get to that room on Friday.
100
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.639
I'll give you a free ticket there too. Originally I
101
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.279
wanted to open the new room in September, but they
102
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.759
wanted to open it in July, which is a weird
103
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.720
time to start doing. That's like the weirdest time of
104
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.360
the year when you're competing with fairs and festivals and
105
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.120
everybody's cousin's wedding. But the room is it's coming along
106
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.800
really well. It looks amazing, and I want people to
107
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.600
be in the room on Friday for two reasons. I
108
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.319
want them to see Mike Baldwin because this guy is hilarious.
109
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.240
But I also want them in there because I got
110
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.279
to get some really good photos of this room looking full.
111
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.519
We've had people at all of these shows but I
112
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.800
want to have a nice, big full room this Friday
113
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.639
with Mike Baldwin so I can use those photos for
114
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.879
marketing purposes for this fall when people are coming out
115
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.040
looking for stuff to do. Yeah, and I think that
116
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.079
the best show for people to get and get in
117
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.160
and see would be a Mike Baldwin show, don't you think.
118
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.199
I mean, that's what I've always said.
119
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.879
I agree, and I encourage people to come out.
120
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.120
We've got a lot of folks already that have signed
121
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.279
up and I'm putting them on my OLVIP list. So folks,
122
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.480
if you want tickets, you could go and buy tickets,
123
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.480
and I'm okay with that too. But if you just
124
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.839
reach out to me, I'll put you down for a
125
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.920
table so you can bring three friends. There's room for
126
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.199
four people at each table. I just want the room full.
127
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.480
And here's I had a guy say, well, if you're
128
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.040
taking photos, you're probably just looking for good looking people, right.
129
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.040
I'm like, well, with the lighting, we'll put you in
130
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:06.959
the back, in the shadow, so it'll be okay.
131
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.560
If you are good looking, then then you get extra points.
132
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:13.839
Yeah, so then we'll put your table right up front.
133
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.600
There's a point system here, so dress nice and maybe
134
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.160
you'll earn some points there.
135
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:20.839
You go, well, I am excited to have you back
136
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:22.839
in town. Thank you for saying yes when I reach
137
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.680
out and ask you to come and do these silly things.
138
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:26.680
And again, we're so excited to have you in Sioux
139
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.160
Falls once again. For people who have not yet had
140
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.680
a chance to follow you on social media, what do
141
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.839
I look for on Facebook? What do I look for
142
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.519
on TikTok? To make sure I'm following the right Mike
143
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:37.360
Baldwin account.
144
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.720
You can go to mike isfunny dot com and I
145
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:48.839
have links to my Facebook, my Instagram, my TikTok, my Twitter, YouTube,
146
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.160
whatever else there is. I've got links to everything on there.
147
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:55.839
I've got a few videos embedded on the website, so
148
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.360
you can watch some of that. I would say, don't
149
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.759
watch too many of my videos because I might say
150
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.839
some of those same jokes when you come and see me.
151
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.639
And it's actually it's a coin toss situation there, because
152
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.600
some jokes will be better if you know the joke already,
153
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.759
and other jokes are better if you're surprised you know,
154
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.759
So just do whatever you want to do. But yeah,
155
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.040
come and see us, and you're gonna do a few
156
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:23.439
minutes of comedy as well.
157
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.800
Right, Yeah, I'm going to do a little bit to
158
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:28.959
open both shows, and I officially I have just you
159
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.079
on the poster because I didn't want people not coming
160
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:32.839
to the show because my face is on there, so
161
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.560
I just have Mike Balder listed. But I'm going to
162
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.639
do a few minutes before Mike at both Billy Frogs
163
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:40.839
and at the Green Bin. And I'm excited to have
164
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:42.879
you here again. It's gonna be a whole lot of
165
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.959
fun to work with you once again. And I'm excited
166
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.680
to see you on Thursday and on Friday. And I'm
167
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.519
excited for you to see this new room. You're gonna
168
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:49.720
love it.
169
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:49.920
Mike.
170
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.279
I can't wait. I'll see you and everybody who's listening,
171
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:56.639

00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.399
