Rumble Reflections: Comedy, Confidence, and Confrontation w/ Kyd Kant Read

1
00:00:19,577 --> 00:00:21,827
You are, you are my first podcast.
2
00:00:21,937 --> 00:00:25,367
You, you're taking, you're
taking the podcast, uh, cherry.
3
00:00:26,057 --> 00:00:31,217
I, I am going to be so, um, uh, so
gentle until you don't want me to be
4
00:00:31,217 --> 00:00:32,977
gentle and then I will be vigorous.
5
00:00:35,042 --> 00:00:37,211
Just, just walk me through it.
6
00:00:37,212 --> 00:00:37,782
Let me breathe.
7
00:00:38,922 --> 00:00:39,392
I'll,
8
00:00:39,432 --> 00:00:40,812
I'll, I'll whisper in your ear.
9
00:00:41,012 --> 00:00:42,022
I'll be like, you're doing a great job.
10
00:00:42,942 --> 00:00:43,602
Relax.
11
00:00:45,512 --> 00:00:46,962
Words of affirmation for sure.
12
00:00:47,292 --> 00:00:47,782
Exactly.
13
00:00:47,782 --> 00:00:49,402
I'll just, I'll affirm
you all the time, dude.
14
00:00:49,402 --> 00:00:53,162
I want to talk about, um, I want to talk
about the rumble and I want to talk.
15
00:00:53,162 --> 00:00:55,742
So you were on rumble three, Las Vegas.
16
00:00:56,042 --> 00:00:59,692
Tell me about you just when, when I ask
you about the rumble night, what is a,
17
00:00:59,762 --> 00:01:01,332
what, what immediately stands out to you?
18
00:01:02,912 --> 00:01:04,332
Um, the crowd.
19
00:01:05,042 --> 00:01:08,322
That was the biggest crowd
that I've been in front of.
20
00:01:08,832 --> 00:01:11,482
That was the most intensive
crowd I've been in front of.
21
00:01:11,502 --> 00:01:12,892
Like, the most engaging crowd.
22
00:01:12,892 --> 00:01:15,732
Like, everybody, everybody
caught everything.
23
00:01:16,062 --> 00:01:19,632
Um, there weren't any bad jokes per se.
24
00:01:19,632 --> 00:01:23,082
Like, the crowd was, like,
didn't need help with anything.
25
00:01:23,082 --> 00:01:25,782
They were, like, when you bring up
that night, I just bring up the crowd.
26
00:01:25,782 --> 00:01:27,932
Cause, like, that was
really, that was a fun time.
27
00:01:27,962 --> 00:01:29,762
That was a good group of
people out there tonight.
28
00:01:30,617 --> 00:01:30,637
It
29
00:01:30,637 --> 00:01:34,487
was our, it was our, it was our, so far
it was our highest selling rumble show.
30
00:01:34,877 --> 00:01:36,647
And you're right.
31
00:01:36,647 --> 00:01:38,387
Like they were, they were hot.
32
00:01:38,437 --> 00:01:43,257
Like they were hot at the beginning and
they just, they just kept getting hotter.
33
00:01:43,517 --> 00:01:45,627
And one of my favorite
things about that night.
34
00:01:45,627 --> 00:01:50,912
So that night was, you were on Seth
Robeshaw was on, uh, Jason Paxman,
35
00:01:50,912 --> 00:01:52,142
who ended up winning, was on.
36
00:01:52,322 --> 00:01:55,412
Mark Johnson, Essence,
like so many great comics.
37
00:01:55,702 --> 00:02:00,892
And what I loved about that night, that
for me was the most special, is right
38
00:02:00,892 --> 00:02:04,512
before we went out, I came into the green
room, and we kind of had a little bit of
39
00:02:04,512 --> 00:02:09,912
a chat, and the invitation that I gave
to everyone was, listen to the audience.
40
00:02:10,732 --> 00:02:14,512
Listen to what's going out there and
listen to each other, because sometimes,
41
00:02:14,552 --> 00:02:18,532
at least when I started comedy, and I
think it's pretty, I think that for anyone
42
00:02:18,532 --> 00:02:23,462
who, for anyone who wants to be a comic
or do work where the primary thing that
43
00:02:23,462 --> 00:02:26,162
we're doing is talking, we like talking.
44
00:02:26,542 --> 00:02:26,822
Right.
45
00:02:26,822 --> 00:02:28,372
We like the sound of our voice.
46
00:02:28,602 --> 00:02:32,242
Generally, if I walk into a room and
I wonder if you'll relate to this,
47
00:02:32,362 --> 00:02:36,692
generally I walk into a room and I sort
of assume not, I don't think it's in
48
00:02:36,692 --> 00:02:41,462
an arrogant way, but I just kind of,
my assumption is that I'm probably the
49
00:02:41,482 --> 00:02:43,102
best person at talking in that room.
50
00:02:45,097 --> 00:02:45,657
I know it.
51
00:02:49,557 --> 00:02:51,907
I just sort of assume
like whatever's happening.
52
00:02:51,927 --> 00:02:53,567
I'll a hundred percent get behind.
53
00:02:53,617 --> 00:02:53,867
Right.
54
00:02:53,887 --> 00:02:57,312
I'm a hundred percent involved in
whatever's happening, but I just kind
55
00:02:57,312 --> 00:03:02,317
of know that if everyone were listening
to me, we would be having a better
56
00:03:02,317 --> 00:03:02,577
time.
57
00:03:04,377 --> 00:03:05,337
Somebody that says it.
58
00:03:05,617 --> 00:03:07,127
I'm not, I'm not being an asshole.
59
00:03:07,377 --> 00:03:09,247
I'm not trying to be bossy or commandy.
60
00:03:09,667 --> 00:03:12,297
I just know I'm right.
61
00:03:12,657 --> 00:03:13,837
So if
62
00:03:15,577 --> 00:03:19,707
I wasn't, and for me, this is actually
really important because part of that,
63
00:03:19,737 --> 00:03:25,027
I'm right for me has been a really, I've
had to get really comfortable being wrong.
64
00:03:25,977 --> 00:03:28,627
It's not about me being right for me.
65
00:03:28,627 --> 00:03:29,217
It's about.
66
00:03:29,727 --> 00:03:34,257
I'm right because whatever I, whatever I,
I'm attached to whatever I think is right.
67
00:03:34,657 --> 00:03:38,627
So, and if I learned that it's not
right, I have no, in fact, one of the
68
00:03:38,637 --> 00:03:42,757
greatest gifts that I think I've ever
been given is that I grew up in a,
69
00:03:42,817 --> 00:03:44,467
like a Mormon polygamist cult, right?
70
00:03:44,467 --> 00:03:48,597
And so I was raised to believe that the
entire world, except for like the 15, 000
71
00:03:48,597 --> 00:03:50,297
members of our cult, they were wicked.
72
00:03:50,772 --> 00:03:52,152
Especially you black people.
73
00:03:52,152 --> 00:03:55,932
You were the most wicked, which
told, I mean, look at your hair.
74
00:03:55,992 --> 00:03:58,152
Like obviously, obviously the
75
00:03:58,152 --> 00:04:00,952
shadow of sometimes it's kind of creepy.
76
00:04:01,072 --> 00:04:01,502
If you're
77
00:04:04,202 --> 00:04:06,912
just like a skinny little polygamous
boy walking down the street at night
78
00:04:06,972 --> 00:04:09,112
and all of a sudden, it's a lot.
79
00:04:09,122 --> 00:04:09,452
Right.
80
00:04:09,622 --> 00:04:11,532
So I was raised that way.
81
00:04:11,922 --> 00:04:14,192
Where I thought the world
was 6, 000 years old.
82
00:04:14,372 --> 00:04:17,622
I thought that we were the most right
and the most righteous people ever.
83
00:04:17,932 --> 00:04:22,652
And the most profound gift that I think
I've ever been given in my life is the
84
00:04:22,652 --> 00:04:27,172
real is realizing that that worldview
was a hundred percent wrong, right?
85
00:04:27,172 --> 00:04:29,612
That that world, it wasn't
just a little bit wrong.
86
00:04:29,842 --> 00:04:31,942
It was a hundred percent wrong.
87
00:04:31,942 --> 00:04:36,982
It was not tied to reality at
all, which taught me that I can
88
00:04:36,982 --> 00:04:39,062
be profoundly wrong about things.
89
00:04:39,407 --> 00:04:44,417
Yeah, and then you got to be able to eat
the hell like I say all the time please
90
00:04:44,417 --> 00:04:49,862
fuck up if I'm wrong I will throw my hands
up and be like hey I thought I was right.
91
00:04:50,572 --> 00:04:50,782
Right.
92
00:04:51,172 --> 00:04:52,462
Like, I'm not gonna die on the hill.
93
00:04:52,462 --> 00:04:53,482
Like if I'm wrong, I'm wrong
94
00:04:53,802 --> 00:04:57,522
because now no way, there's, I will
never, I will die on every hill until
95
00:04:57,522 --> 00:05:00,522
it's obvious that I cannot, that
that hill is not the right hill.
96
00:05:00,702 --> 00:05:00,912
Yeah.
97
00:05:00,912 --> 00:05:02,682
And then I get off that hill so fast.
98
00:05:02,742 --> 00:05:03,042
Yeah.
99
00:05:03,072 --> 00:05:03,402
Fuck that
100
00:05:03,402 --> 00:05:03,612
hill.
101
00:05:03,612 --> 00:05:06,762
I immediately, I'll flip my views so fast.
102
00:05:07,242 --> 00:05:07,482
? Yes.
103
00:05:08,022 --> 00:05:11,082
Like the camera could pan over to
somebody that I'm arguing with.
104
00:05:11,462 --> 00:05:12,932
Pan back, I'm gone.
105
00:05:13,987 --> 00:05:15,217
I'm standing with them now.
106
00:05:15,217 --> 00:05:15,697
Like that's
107
00:05:15,697 --> 00:05:17,496
right.
108
00:05:17,577 --> 00:05:21,807
And, and I honestly think, I think
that that is, I think that's probably
109
00:05:21,807 --> 00:05:26,877
one of the reasons why you and I are
drawn to comedy is that I think that
110
00:05:26,887 --> 00:05:29,067
comedy requires you to sort of have.
111
00:05:29,502 --> 00:05:35,692
A light, simultaneously light and firm
hold on your opinions, where it's like
112
00:05:35,692 --> 00:05:39,942
you really have to believe strongly in
what you're saying, but you also have
113
00:05:39,942 --> 00:05:43,442
to be able to sort of bounce around
to a lot of different perspectives.
114
00:05:43,812 --> 00:05:48,702
And, and also I found too, this
is one of the things I like doing
115
00:05:48,952 --> 00:05:53,942
on stage is I found that it's
really funny to be wrong on stage.
116
00:05:56,057 --> 00:06:00,797
So if I'm publicly wrong and then everyone
gets to laugh at me being wrong and
117
00:06:00,797 --> 00:06:04,927
then I get to be like, Oh, you guys,
that's a really funny thing to do.
118
00:06:05,267 --> 00:06:10,567
And, and, and I think it's actually one of
the ways that I think comedy is pro social
119
00:06:10,797 --> 00:06:12,817
is that we get to see stuff like that.
120
00:06:13,037 --> 00:06:18,327
Act it out in public where it's okay to
say the wrong thing and then have that
121
00:06:18,327 --> 00:06:20,777
be funny because obviously I'm wrong.
122
00:06:22,157 --> 00:06:22,507
Like
123
00:06:22,557 --> 00:06:23,007
it's a joke.
124
00:06:23,017 --> 00:06:24,377
Like I tell people, come on.
125
00:06:25,117 --> 00:06:29,307
I'm joking, like, that's my, that's
my whole, everything I go out there,
126
00:06:29,307 --> 00:06:31,847
I'm like, what do we, what do we
really, what are we really mad about?
127
00:06:31,877 --> 00:06:35,657
Because growing up, right, we weren't
allowed to just have an opinion.
128
00:06:36,347 --> 00:06:37,047
We had to prove it.
129
00:06:37,457 --> 00:06:40,377
We had to, if we felt some
type of way, we had to say why.
130
00:06:40,637 --> 00:06:45,097
And not even on top of that, we had to
sometimes argue against what we believed
131
00:06:45,097 --> 00:06:48,907
in, so that way we can fully understand
where somebody else is coming from.
132
00:06:48,907 --> 00:06:51,067
Like, do you understand why
they would feel this way?
133
00:06:51,427 --> 00:06:53,217
So I wasn't allowed to have an opinion.
134
00:06:53,577 --> 00:06:55,597
Unless I can argue against it too.
135
00:06:56,077 --> 00:06:59,097
And so now when I'm dealing
with people, it's like,
136
00:07:01,327 --> 00:07:06,897
I can be, they can get not flustered
or frustrated, but I'm like, Hey, I'm
137
00:07:06,917 --> 00:07:10,657
arguing something that I already know
what you're about to come at me with.
138
00:07:10,667 --> 00:07:13,747
So like, it takes, it takes the argument,
it takes the air out the argument.
139
00:07:14,157 --> 00:07:14,417
Right.
140
00:07:14,427 --> 00:07:15,986
It's like, Oh, you such a know it
all, you think you know it all.
141
00:07:15,987 --> 00:07:18,527
I was like, it's not that I think I
know it all, or I know I know it all.
142
00:07:18,917 --> 00:07:24,297
I literally have to, for me, even if
I'm by myself, I have to prove myself
143
00:07:24,307 --> 00:07:28,577
right and wrong whenever I think about
something like, why do I feel this way?
144
00:07:29,097 --> 00:07:30,857
How can I back up why I feel this way?
145
00:07:30,887 --> 00:07:34,067
And how can somebody think that
I shouldn't feel this way too?
146
00:07:34,397 --> 00:07:37,127
So I already know I just,
I'm just super prepared.
147
00:07:37,167 --> 00:07:39,027
I'm not, I don't think I'm right.
148
00:07:39,027 --> 00:07:39,967
I'm just really prepared.
149
00:07:39,997 --> 00:07:41,087
And I love to argue too.
150
00:07:41,127 --> 00:07:42,757
I will flip sides just to argue.
151
00:07:44,997 --> 00:07:47,357
And for me, it's really not
even about the argument.
152
00:07:47,357 --> 00:07:49,367
It's like, it's about
keeping the thing alive.
153
00:07:49,787 --> 00:07:50,067
Right?
154
00:07:50,067 --> 00:07:54,577
Like what argument does, what comedy does
is comedy creates kind of like this thing
155
00:07:54,877 --> 00:07:59,387
that we all sort of see and get to be
a part of and we're bouncing it around.
156
00:07:59,397 --> 00:07:59,707
Right?
157
00:07:59,847 --> 00:08:04,347
So if I can argue every angle of a thing,
I get to, we get to go over here with it.
158
00:08:04,397 --> 00:08:05,237
We get to go over here with it.
159
00:08:06,452 --> 00:08:06,622
Right.
160
00:08:06,622 --> 00:08:09,622
There's all kinds of different ways
that we can make it, make it funny.
161
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:13,322
And like, you're such a master of
that when just going back and like
162
00:08:13,332 --> 00:08:17,492
looking at the, cause I've been editing
clips of the rumble like all week.
163
00:08:17,492 --> 00:08:22,382
And so I've been sort of deep in the
weeds and first off your first match
164
00:08:22,392 --> 00:08:28,332
up against Mark, Michael, uh, Marcinio
was easily some of the best six
165
00:08:28,332 --> 00:08:29,972
minutes of comedy that I've ever seen.
166
00:08:31,152 --> 00:08:32,322
The crowd was hot.
167
00:08:32,462 --> 00:08:34,502
Michael went up, crushed.
168
00:08:34,862 --> 00:08:35,752
You came out.
169
00:08:35,822 --> 00:08:40,322
Crushed and then we brought
you both up there and there was
170
00:08:40,322 --> 00:08:42,242
this like huge energy, right?
171
00:08:42,242 --> 00:08:46,182
This huge energy for both of you and like
Michael, it's like, Oh my, I did Michael.
172
00:08:46,182 --> 00:08:48,812
And I'm like, Oh my God, I
could, I can't, I cannot imagine
173
00:08:49,112 --> 00:08:50,502
that kid is going to top this.
174
00:08:50,532 --> 00:08:51,312
And then he did.
175
00:08:51,662 --> 00:08:54,822
But one of the things you do in that
set that I love is you talk about your
176
00:08:54,822 --> 00:08:59,152
confidence that you could a hundred
percent land an airplane, even though
177
00:08:59,152 --> 00:09:02,552
you have never flown an airplane and
have no training, but you're just
178
00:09:02,552 --> 00:09:04,052
like, yeah, I could definitely do that.
179
00:09:04,622 --> 00:09:05,262
And when I say
180
00:09:05,292 --> 00:09:08,397
could, I'm not saying I can and I will.
181
00:09:08,907 --> 00:09:12,477
I'm saying there is, there is a
chance I could land the plane.
182
00:09:13,137 --> 00:09:15,177
So don't take my, I'm like, I can do it.
183
00:09:15,347 --> 00:09:17,397
Like, yeah, anybody on
this plane can do it.
184
00:09:17,397 --> 00:09:20,597
It doesn't mean it's going
to be successful, but
185
00:09:20,777 --> 00:09:22,137
I'm strong enough to try.
186
00:09:22,647 --> 00:09:23,077
Right.
187
00:09:23,157 --> 00:09:24,947
I'm strong enough to try.
188
00:09:24,957 --> 00:09:28,327
And I think that really is that to
me, I think is the essence of comedy.
189
00:09:28,617 --> 00:09:31,347
And it's just like, like, let's
just, let's, let's try it.
190
00:09:31,387 --> 00:09:32,167
Let's see.
191
00:09:32,452 --> 00:09:36,282
And, and then that willingness to see,
I think, I think it actually creates
192
00:09:36,282 --> 00:09:42,182
a lot of success because if you boldly
go into any situation with the absurd
193
00:09:42,212 --> 00:09:46,612
confidence, really, with the absurd
confidence of a white man, you go
194
00:09:46,612 --> 00:09:51,092
into any situation with the absurd,
undeserved confidence of a white man.
195
00:09:52,027 --> 00:09:55,837
Generally, and so in some ways, I would
just like to maybe say that even though
196
00:09:55,837 --> 00:09:58,757
white men have done terrible things,
and I'm sorry for all the terrible
197
00:09:58,767 --> 00:10:04,027
things that we did, I would like to
offer as our gift to the world, everyone
198
00:10:04,037 --> 00:10:05,437
should act like straight white men.
199
00:10:06,287 --> 00:10:06,877
Oh yeah!
200
00:10:07,377 --> 00:10:11,087
The absurd confidence of a
straight white man that you can do
201
00:10:11,087 --> 00:10:13,027
whatever you think you want to do.
202
00:10:13,957 --> 00:10:14,307
Things
203
00:10:14,307 --> 00:10:18,187
will change when you, like, not
even a can't beat em, join em.
204
00:10:18,777 --> 00:10:24,127
Type thing, but if you show white people
how white people act by acting like
205
00:10:24,137 --> 00:10:27,317
white people, things will change so fast.
206
00:10:27,817 --> 00:10:28,467
So fast.
207
00:10:28,597 --> 00:10:30,287
They'll be like, we can't have
people out here acting like this.
208
00:10:30,287 --> 00:10:31,557
Like, this is what you guys are doing.
209
00:10:31,697 --> 00:10:35,887
Like, this is what we're dealing with.
210
00:10:36,197 --> 00:10:38,007
So now, let me do what you do.
211
00:10:38,272 --> 00:10:39,212
But look like me?
212
00:10:39,682 --> 00:10:40,422
Perfect example.
213
00:10:40,602 --> 00:10:41,982
Go a little history lesson, right?
214
00:10:42,172 --> 00:10:44,282
California has some of the
strictest gun laws, right?
215
00:10:44,942 --> 00:10:50,212
They used to be very loose on, uh,
like open carry rifles, all that.
216
00:10:51,002 --> 00:10:54,812
It wasn't until the Black Panthers started
organizing and just walking down the
217
00:10:54,812 --> 00:10:56,322
street with guns that they were like, no.
218
00:10:56,962 --> 00:11:00,172
Rifles need to be, you have to go through
all these hoops, doo doo doo doo doo.
219
00:11:00,492 --> 00:11:03,852
The second you start doing what the
powers that be are doing, they'll be
220
00:11:03,852 --> 00:11:05,072
like, we can't have them doing that.
221
00:11:05,072 --> 00:11:07,242
They're going to just,
they just add another hoop.
222
00:11:07,692 --> 00:11:09,722
And so we just have to keep adding hoops.
223
00:11:10,532 --> 00:11:13,612
And what a brilliant, what a
brilliant way out of racism.
224
00:11:13,697 --> 00:11:19,147
Like pretend and fake your way.
225
00:11:19,177 --> 00:11:23,307
Like, and, and I also want to
like acknowledge to pretend and
226
00:11:23,307 --> 00:11:27,977
fake, but also there's a, there's
a substantial amount of courage
227
00:11:28,157 --> 00:11:30,917
that is required to do that, right.
228
00:11:30,927 --> 00:11:35,297
To show up in those spaces and to say,
yo, you guys, we are going to, we're going
229
00:11:35,297 --> 00:11:38,107
to show you the way that you are acting.
230
00:11:38,412 --> 00:11:42,362
Even though we have more power
than us and a history of not doing
231
00:11:42,362 --> 00:11:43,712
great things with that power.
232
00:11:43,712 --> 00:11:43,971
Yeah,
233
00:11:44,252 --> 00:11:44,932
yeah, yeah.
234
00:11:45,102 --> 00:11:46,272
We're going to go ahead and do that.
235
00:11:46,582 --> 00:11:50,792
And, and I think that that is one, I
think it's obviously needed, right?
236
00:11:50,812 --> 00:11:53,872
Like, like we talked a little
bit about this kind of before,
237
00:11:53,912 --> 00:11:57,602
before we started recording, but
I'm coming from a background of.
238
00:11:57,952 --> 00:12:04,482
Having fully acknowledged and met with
and I think dealt with my white supremacy.
239
00:12:04,742 --> 00:12:09,272
And what I mean by that is I a hundred
percent acknowledge and recognize that the
240
00:12:09,382 --> 00:12:14,822
way that my brain was programmed, my brain
was programmed to be A white supremacist.
241
00:12:14,842 --> 00:12:16,362
It was said, white is better.
242
00:12:16,362 --> 00:12:17,292
White is best.
243
00:12:17,412 --> 00:12:18,792
Everything else is second best.
244
00:12:19,072 --> 00:12:20,372
Go do white things.
245
00:12:20,522 --> 00:12:24,302
And that I think is absolute horse shit
because white And that was from a cult.
246
00:12:25,042 --> 00:12:25,502
From a cult.
247
00:12:25,522 --> 00:12:25,762
Yeah.
248
00:12:25,762 --> 00:12:28,982
So I grew up in like this teeny tiny
little white supremacist cult and
249
00:12:28,982 --> 00:12:31,112
they were like, we are white people.
250
00:12:31,122 --> 00:12:32,842
We are the most white people.
251
00:12:33,162 --> 00:12:38,362
We're like white people dipped in bleach
and, you know, slathered in flour.
252
00:12:42,237 --> 00:12:44,337
And, and then we're going to go
out into the world and we're going
253
00:12:44,337 --> 00:12:45,687
to make the whole world white.
254
00:12:46,097 --> 00:12:48,567
And it didn't take me long.
255
00:12:48,567 --> 00:12:52,177
Like really all it took me was
I, a couple of interactions with
256
00:12:52,177 --> 00:12:53,797
people who were Brown, right?
257
00:12:54,157 --> 00:12:58,607
I had a couple of interactions with
people who were Brown and, and all,
258
00:12:58,637 --> 00:13:01,707
and it immediately, it was like,
It was like a light switch, right?
259
00:13:01,707 --> 00:13:06,197
It was like, oh, obviously none of that,
but I still had all of that programming.
260
00:13:06,437 --> 00:13:09,227
And because I still had all that
programming, I also saw all the
261
00:13:09,227 --> 00:13:11,617
ways that other white people
still had that programming.
262
00:13:11,857 --> 00:13:15,517
And I saw the way that the
institutions and the structures
263
00:13:15,517 --> 00:13:17,317
that we've created in America.
264
00:13:17,697 --> 00:13:19,537
Are built that way, right?
265
00:13:19,647 --> 00:13:24,847
Like to say, to say America is a white
supremacist nation is not slander, right?
266
00:13:24,847 --> 00:13:26,917
We're not, we're not
saying people are bad.
267
00:13:26,997 --> 00:13:32,457
What we're saying is this is a country
that was built, the foundations and the
268
00:13:32,457 --> 00:13:37,947
structure of this country were built to
make white people better, to empower white
269
00:13:37,947 --> 00:13:39,807
people at the expense of everyone else.
270
00:13:39,997 --> 00:13:43,267
And what's wild to me is I'm not
saying anything that you don't know,
271
00:13:43,602 --> 00:13:49,182
You know, you, you've known that the
whole time, but, but I think that
272
00:13:49,192 --> 00:13:52,342
white people, because they don't
experience it and they think, Oh,
273
00:13:52,342 --> 00:13:54,342
well, I'm not personally racist.
274
00:13:54,672 --> 00:13:58,162
I'm not personally, I don't
personally think that I'm better.
275
00:13:58,462 --> 00:14:01,702
We can get sort of get a little
defensive rather than I think the
276
00:14:01,702 --> 00:14:04,002
appropriate thing to do, which is
to just acknowledge that you're
277
00:14:04,002 --> 00:14:05,772
wrong, acknowledge that you're wrong.
278
00:14:05,782 --> 00:14:07,702
And then hopefully make
some kind of joke about it.
279
00:14:07,762 --> 00:14:08,042
Right.
280
00:14:08,082 --> 00:14:11,802
Where, where, where I try to step in
and be like, like one of the things
281
00:14:11,812 --> 00:14:13,492
that happened and the rumble is.
282
00:14:14,272 --> 00:14:16,662
You got like, you went
up against Jason Paxman.
283
00:14:17,082 --> 00:14:19,172
Jason Paxman had brought
a bunch of people.
284
00:14:19,172 --> 00:14:21,472
He was crushing it too,
like he was on fire.
285
00:14:21,762 --> 00:14:25,322
You had brought like your family and
your mom especially I think was the one.
286
00:14:25,572 --> 00:14:27,742
I think I had to shout down your mom.
287
00:14:28,152 --> 00:14:32,596
And uh, and I needed
a microphone to do it.
288
00:14:32,747 --> 00:14:36,977
And, uh, so both, and both
of you guys fucking killed,
289
00:14:37,117 --> 00:14:38,617
like both of you guys killed.
290
00:14:39,057 --> 00:14:42,537
And then there's this moment where
I try to listen to the audience
291
00:14:42,537 --> 00:14:43,707
and it's the same amount of noise.
292
00:14:43,737 --> 00:14:44,657
I pull out my phone.
293
00:14:44,767 --> 00:14:46,307
You both hit the same decibel.
294
00:14:46,357 --> 00:14:47,787
And so I'm like, okay, let's flip a coin.
295
00:14:48,277 --> 00:14:50,637
And it's a George Washington quarter.
296
00:14:50,937 --> 00:14:54,377
And you're immediately like, no,
that, that motherfucker is a racist.
297
00:14:54,387 --> 00:14:56,517
Like we cannot do that.
298
00:14:57,127 --> 00:15:01,217
And, and so that kind of becomes
a joke, but it's also true.
299
00:15:01,687 --> 00:15:02,017
Yeah,
300
00:15:02,297 --> 00:15:03,377
it's also true.
301
00:15:04,647 --> 00:15:08,767
No, especially to um, because the
crowd had the chance to I I'm not
302
00:15:08,767 --> 00:15:15,257
gonna lie When I went back up and I
was like all three black people lost to
303
00:15:15,257 --> 00:15:16,887
different forms of white people, right?
304
00:15:17,197 --> 00:15:21,487
Like essence essence lost
to just a white lady, right?
305
00:15:21,487 --> 00:15:22,277
Just really white lady.
306
00:15:22,277 --> 00:15:23,047
All right.
307
00:15:23,047 --> 00:15:28,387
Yeah No, no essence lost to
set Essence did lose to Seth.
308
00:15:28,417 --> 00:15:28,687
Yes.
309
00:15:28,867 --> 00:15:29,157
Yeah.
310
00:15:29,257 --> 00:15:29,507
Yeah.
311
00:15:29,507 --> 00:15:34,277
So Seth, gay, white man, who some people,
not, not him particularly, but people
312
00:15:34,277 --> 00:15:35,677
would just be like, Oh, gay, white man.
313
00:15:35,707 --> 00:15:37,497
They are caricatures of black women.
314
00:15:37,497 --> 00:15:37,797
Right.
315
00:15:38,157 --> 00:15:40,957
So Seth lost to a gay white man.
316
00:15:40,977 --> 00:15:42,467
It was Mark that lost to the white woman.
317
00:15:42,467 --> 00:15:42,697
Right.
318
00:15:42,737 --> 00:15:43,027
I can't
319
00:15:43,287 --> 00:15:44,687
Mark, Mark lost to Jason.
320
00:15:45,287 --> 00:15:45,457
No,
321
00:15:45,457 --> 00:15:45,587
I
322
00:15:45,587 --> 00:15:45,777
lost
323
00:15:45,787 --> 00:15:46,087
to Jason.
324
00:15:46,667 --> 00:15:48,657
But Mark lost to Jason in round one.
325
00:15:49,167 --> 00:15:50,087
Oh, that's right.
326
00:15:50,177 --> 00:15:50,497
Okay.
327
00:15:51,337 --> 00:15:52,567
Mark loses to Jason.
328
00:15:53,707 --> 00:15:57,737
And then, so, um, And Jason, Jason
was on the podcast last week.
329
00:15:57,747 --> 00:16:00,447
Jason looks like a white supremacist.
330
00:16:00,607 --> 00:16:00,967
Yeah.
331
00:16:00,997 --> 00:16:01,767
That's what I was going to say.
332
00:16:01,787 --> 00:16:03,187
The dread head lost to the skinhead.
333
00:16:03,692 --> 00:16:06,932
And then the black woman lost to the gay
man, and then the dread, and then the
334
00:16:06,942 --> 00:16:08,782
skinhead just took out the black light.
335
00:16:08,792 --> 00:16:09,692
Took out two of them.
336
00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:12,892
And they were all like,
back to back to back.
337
00:16:12,892 --> 00:16:16,812
I tried to remind the crowd, I'm like,
hey, just so you guys know, the past
338
00:16:16,822 --> 00:16:18,992
two comics eliminated looked like me.
339
00:16:19,172 --> 00:16:20,092
So this is your chance.
340
00:16:20,687 --> 00:16:22,637
This is your chance to be on
the right side of history.
341
00:16:22,647 --> 00:16:27,067
Somebody somewhere has to stand
up and say, and say, okay.
342
00:16:28,837 --> 00:16:32,077
And the timing was even, was even,
cause not only was there, that was
343
00:16:32,087 --> 00:16:33,647
such a great moment too, right?
344
00:16:33,647 --> 00:16:38,057
Because, and what I loved about that
dude is you were listening, right?
345
00:16:38,067 --> 00:16:38,957
You were listening.
346
00:16:38,977 --> 00:16:40,247
You knew what had happened.
347
00:16:40,947 --> 00:16:45,827
You were aware of, and not only that, you
were also aware of, there was, because not
348
00:16:45,827 --> 00:16:49,887
only was that happening in that moment in
that room, but also the wider context is
349
00:16:50,127 --> 00:16:54,427
this is November, uh, 15th or 16th, right?
350
00:16:54,597 --> 00:17:02,172
So it's like 10 days after all of
America looked at a, Competent black
351
00:17:02,172 --> 00:17:08,872
woman and an orange Cheeto and they
were like, you know who we would like?
352
00:17:09,122 --> 00:17:10,882
The orange Cheeto, please.
353
00:17:11,532 --> 00:17:11,842
Yeah.
354
00:17:11,842 --> 00:17:12,202
Yeah.
355
00:17:12,562 --> 00:17:13,362
That had just happened.
356
00:17:13,362 --> 00:17:13,822
Why?
357
00:17:14,642 --> 00:17:16,052
Cause he had the confidence.
358
00:17:16,932 --> 00:17:19,262
Cause he had the, cause he
sat there and he was like,
359
00:17:19,272 --> 00:17:21,482
I can fly this motherfucking plane.
360
00:17:21,732 --> 00:17:21,912
Yeah.
361
00:17:22,402 --> 00:17:28,072
He called like, and I'm in no way
endorsing, supporting whatever does.
362
00:17:28,152 --> 00:17:31,272
I don't even like getting political, but
when you just look at it, what it is,
363
00:17:31,332 --> 00:17:36,702
Since 2016, since 2016, Trump has been
like, I'm going to be in the White House.
364
00:17:37,182 --> 00:17:39,742
He goes to a 16, he loses in 20.
365
00:17:39,752 --> 00:17:41,322
He says, I'm coming back.
366
00:17:41,582 --> 00:17:43,872
Not only am I coming back, we're going
to try to take it over right now.
367
00:17:44,072 --> 00:17:46,632
And then for the past four
years, Trump is everywhere.
368
00:17:46,662 --> 00:17:49,822
Trump has been on the campaign
trail for the past four years.
369
00:17:50,092 --> 00:17:51,912
And he's like, I'm going to win.
370
00:17:52,182 --> 00:17:55,892
And then Kamala, she wasn't
saying I'm going to win.
371
00:17:55,912 --> 00:17:57,742
She's like, I believe we're going to win.
372
00:17:58,042 --> 00:18:00,332
Uh, I think I have a chance.
373
00:18:00,332 --> 00:18:02,532
Like why we're going to,
we're going to beat him.
374
00:18:02,542 --> 00:18:03,382
She wasn't saying we're going to win.
375
00:18:03,382 --> 00:18:04,862
She's like, we can beat Donald Trump.
376
00:18:05,122 --> 00:18:06,252
She wasn't trying to win.
377
00:18:06,512 --> 00:18:07,662
She was trying to beat Donald Trump.
378
00:18:08,212 --> 00:18:11,392
Which that one gave her the
dub, but the like, the, the
379
00:18:11,392 --> 00:18:13,082
fine line in between each one.
380
00:18:13,342 --> 00:18:17,662
And so like, when we come in, I, when
I do things, I have to be like, I
381
00:18:17,682 --> 00:18:19,012
have to think that I'm going to win.
382
00:18:19,082 --> 00:18:24,862
I have, I already have my celebration,
I have my acceptance speech, I have
383
00:18:24,872 --> 00:18:29,642
what like, whatever I like, The
future I live in, I've already won.
384
00:18:29,922 --> 00:18:31,152
And so that's how I go up on stage.
385
00:18:31,212 --> 00:18:32,072
I've already won.
386
00:18:32,122 --> 00:18:33,012
I've just got to do it now.
387
00:18:33,342 --> 00:18:36,062
And, and honestly, dude, I think,
I think there's something really
388
00:18:36,072 --> 00:18:41,682
powerful about the, the mentality of
that, because what humans do, right.
389
00:18:41,702 --> 00:18:45,592
Is we, we live, we're these
physical creatures, right.
390
00:18:45,812 --> 00:18:49,752
But we also are these, these mental
creatures who have created, because
391
00:18:49,752 --> 00:18:52,522
we can't, we can't directly interact
with the world that we live in.
392
00:18:52,932 --> 00:18:53,162
Right.
393
00:18:53,162 --> 00:18:57,002
We have to do it through our senses
and through what, like, so literally
394
00:18:57,002 --> 00:19:00,532
what's happening is every human
is creating kind of a mental model
395
00:19:00,532 --> 00:19:05,622
of their universe and whatever it
is that you think is what you see.
396
00:19:06,072 --> 00:19:09,532
And so if you go into a
situation and you think.
397
00:19:09,877 --> 00:19:10,937
I'm going to win.
398
00:19:11,877 --> 00:19:15,727
I will be successful and it's
almost, almost to a maddening, like,
399
00:19:15,917 --> 00:19:20,047
like Donald Trump, like, again,
don't really want to get political.
400
00:19:20,047 --> 00:19:20,687
I don't want to,
401
00:19:21,477 --> 00:19:21,717
especially
402
00:19:22,017 --> 00:19:24,517
like I do, I don't want to be
seen to be endorsing that man.
403
00:19:24,907 --> 00:19:27,117
But what I will say is
there are two things.
404
00:19:27,127 --> 00:19:33,127
One is his willingness to just go
into absurd confidence and then
405
00:19:33,257 --> 00:19:35,587
act in that absurd confidence.
406
00:19:36,237 --> 00:19:36,747
And me?
407
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:38,557
And then double down on it.
408
00:19:38,767 --> 00:19:41,567
He doubled down and he doubles
down on everything, right?
409
00:19:41,567 --> 00:19:44,537
So let's take that skill
and let's give it to people.
410
00:19:44,577 --> 00:19:46,357
Let's, let's give it to all
the other people, right?
411
00:19:46,357 --> 00:19:49,777
Let's give that, that energy
to the Kamalas of the future.
412
00:19:49,777 --> 00:19:50,047
Right?
413
00:19:50,197 --> 00:19:54,417
And then the second thing that Donald
Trump does really, really well, I think is
414
00:19:54,537 --> 00:19:56,607
Donald Trump is really good at listening.
415
00:19:57,447 --> 00:20:00,117
He goes out to these rallies, which
I, he goes out to these rallies
416
00:20:00,127 --> 00:20:02,167
and he just starts saying shit.
417
00:20:02,487 --> 00:20:06,576
And this is what he did in 2016.
418
00:20:06,577 --> 00:20:09,397
And, and like every good
comic knows that's what we do.
419
00:20:09,397 --> 00:20:13,477
We just all, the only reason
that we're funny, well, we have
420
00:20:13,477 --> 00:20:16,936
a good sense for funny, but we're
also constantly saying shit.
421
00:20:17,267 --> 00:20:20,167
and listening to how it
lands with other people.
422
00:20:20,327 --> 00:20:25,767
And so Donald Trump got to go in front of
thousands of people and run his mouth and
423
00:20:25,777 --> 00:20:31,097
listen to which parts of what he said got
traction and then he just doubles down on
424
00:20:31,107 --> 00:20:36,317
them and it doesn't matter if it doesn't
matter if Mexico is actually going to
425
00:20:36,317 --> 00:20:41,797
build the wall what matters is there are
millions of people in America who love
426
00:20:42,007 --> 00:20:46,407
to hear Donald Trump say I'm gonna build
a wall and Mexico's gonna pay for it.
427
00:20:48,272 --> 00:20:48,382
It's a
428
00:20:48,392 --> 00:20:49,132
bit, right?
429
00:20:49,132 --> 00:20:52,482
He's doing a bit and he's doing a
bit with such confidence that he's
430
00:20:52,482 --> 00:20:55,402
actually now in, in the White House.
431
00:20:56,192 --> 00:21:00,132
He taught, he confidenced
himself into the world leader.
432
00:21:01,057 --> 00:21:01,397
Yeah.
433
00:21:01,867 --> 00:21:02,347
Yeah, he did.
434
00:21:02,507 --> 00:21:07,707
And if Donald Trump can do that, I think
that you and I and the rest of the people
435
00:21:07,707 --> 00:21:11,507
who are involved in Comedy Rumble and the
rest of all, all, all the comedians of
436
00:21:11,507 --> 00:21:16,937
the world, I think that we can confidence
our way into a world that's not racist.
437
00:21:17,557 --> 00:21:21,507
Yeah, that's fair play, that is taken
care of, or yeah, or flying airplanes.
438
00:21:24,977 --> 00:21:25,917
Yeah, exactly.
439
00:21:25,997 --> 00:21:26,727
A hundred percent.
440
00:21:26,727 --> 00:21:27,357
I think that.
441
00:21:27,837 --> 00:21:28,367
Oh man.
442
00:21:29,087 --> 00:21:30,227
I feel like we got on the line.
443
00:21:30,227 --> 00:21:32,657
I'm trying to bring us, bring
us maybe back to, so there
444
00:21:32,657 --> 00:21:33,947
was, there's this coin toss.
445
00:21:34,057 --> 00:21:37,017
Oh, I wanted to talk about
the energy of the room.
446
00:21:37,067 --> 00:21:37,427
Right?
447
00:21:37,427 --> 00:21:41,407
So, so we're, we're in
this, we're in this point.
448
00:21:41,887 --> 00:21:46,337
Um, I've watched, I watched the recording
so many times and there's this moment
449
00:21:46,367 --> 00:21:49,167
where in fact, maybe do you want
to, do you want to watch it with me?
450
00:21:50,517 --> 00:21:50,837
Okay.
451
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:53,317
Let me, let me see if I can pull it up.
452
00:21:55,437 --> 00:22:01,877
Comedy Rumble, Las
Vegas, Rumble 3, Round 2.
453
00:22:04,697 --> 00:22:06,217
Let me see if I can share this.
454
00:22:11,827 --> 00:22:15,707
Cause this dude is really one of the,
one of the fun things about the Rumble is
455
00:22:15,707 --> 00:22:23,397
that I get to be on stage and sort of in
the energy of other comics and, and also
456
00:22:23,397 --> 00:22:25,807
in the energy of the experience, right?
457
00:22:25,807 --> 00:22:29,107
Cause the experience is such because of
the competition that it's so, there's
458
00:22:29,107 --> 00:22:33,357
so much really high energy around
the competition, the eliminations.
459
00:22:34,007 --> 00:22:39,327
Um, this particular moment
was just so, oh my God.
460
00:22:39,327 --> 00:22:40,907
And you're so fucking funny, dude.
461
00:22:43,307 --> 00:22:43,677
Appreciate that.
462
00:22:44,497 --> 00:22:47,697
Let's just, in fact, I just want to do,
because look at, look at what the fuck
463
00:22:47,697 --> 00:22:51,327
you're doing in this, share, share sound.
464
00:23:12,097 --> 00:23:13,127
Your sound went away, brother.
465
00:23:19,307 --> 00:23:20,117
Can you see this?
466
00:23:22,537 --> 00:23:27,147
So I want to just, number one, I want to
thank you for getting the, the color memo.
467
00:23:27,187 --> 00:23:30,967
So you were paying attention and
everyone was just coordinated that
468
00:23:30,967 --> 00:23:32,157
night because look, we've got.
469
00:23:32,352 --> 00:23:37,702
You in red, or black with like a little
red stripe, um, there's, her name's
470
00:23:37,702 --> 00:23:40,632
Alex, I met her after the show, she's
sitting on the front row, bright red
471
00:23:40,632 --> 00:23:44,792
hair, you've got a cute little red hat
over here, which looks kind of MAGA,
472
00:23:44,812 --> 00:23:47,912
but it wasn't, it was something else,
but it is kind of funny that, that
473
00:23:47,912 --> 00:23:51,702
it's red right there, um, but look
at, just watching you is such a treat.
474
00:23:51,852 --> 00:23:53,618
And a lot of people be like,
I couldn't live with my mom,
475
00:23:53,618 --> 00:23:54,486
bro, that ain't who I am.
476
00:23:54,487 --> 00:23:56,347
I can't do that are me, right?
477
00:23:56,347 --> 00:23:56,647
One.
478
00:23:56,652 --> 00:23:57,652
I know how to communicate.
479
00:23:57,832 --> 00:23:58,807
So I have a microphone.
480
00:23:58,867 --> 00:23:59,587
I know how to talk.
481
00:24:00,457 --> 00:24:02,107
Two, I'm really good
at setting boundaries.
482
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:03,007
Mom, stay in your room.
483
00:24:03,012 --> 00:24:03,692
And I have friends in room
484
00:24:06,517 --> 00:24:08,467
and three, I'm really
good at convincing women.
485
00:24:08,707 --> 00:24:09,337
Oh, let's go to your room.
486
00:24:12,427 --> 00:24:14,647
So one, just listening to them, right?
487
00:24:14,647 --> 00:24:15,517
You are.
488
00:24:15,577 --> 00:24:18,217
You are crushing it right now.
489
00:24:19,917 --> 00:24:20,937
It's so fun.
490
00:24:21,207 --> 00:24:23,747
And then we get to you.
491
00:24:23,747 --> 00:24:24,257
Keep going.
492
00:24:24,257 --> 00:24:24,677
You keep going.
493
00:24:24,677 --> 00:24:25,577
You're hilarious.
494
00:24:28,647 --> 00:24:30,927
Then we get to, where is it?
495
00:24:31,707 --> 00:24:32,897
Okay, so then I come up.
496
00:24:34,577 --> 00:24:35,527
And again, Red.
497
00:24:40,537 --> 00:24:41,297
What the hell?
498
00:24:42,877 --> 00:24:43,577
I'm like, get back here!
499
00:24:47,137 --> 00:24:47,947
I didn't hear you.
500
00:24:48,267 --> 00:24:49,877
Through all that, I
really did not hear you.
501
00:24:51,452 --> 00:24:55,122
I know because your brain was
doing something more interesting.
502
00:24:56,692 --> 00:24:59,282
I was already at five and I'm
like, I did what I needed to do.
503
00:24:59,622 --> 00:25:00,772
I can go do whatever now.
504
00:25:01,332 --> 00:25:01,632
Yeah.
505
00:25:01,672 --> 00:25:02,052
Yeah.
506
00:25:02,572 --> 00:25:03,442
So then you, you're back.
507
00:25:05,802 --> 00:25:07,062
My brain is your brain.
508
00:25:07,532 --> 00:25:07,972
Okay.
509
00:25:08,402 --> 00:25:09,202
Oh God.
510
00:25:09,562 --> 00:25:12,572
So then, then I, this is great
because then this is the moment
511
00:25:12,572 --> 00:25:14,872
when I realize and I'm aware, right?
512
00:25:14,912 --> 00:25:19,722
I'm like, I know I'm the host and
I'm white and I'm like, oh my god,
513
00:25:19,722 --> 00:25:24,462
we've already eliminated, eliminated
Essence and we've eliminated Mark and
514
00:25:24,462 --> 00:25:27,386
now we have, now this is number three.
515
00:25:28,617 --> 00:25:32,147
And so I primed him up like, I'm
like, y'all, like, pay attention.
516
00:25:32,147 --> 00:25:33,391
I'm so glad this
517
00:25:33,391 --> 00:25:34,946
is not my job right
518
00:25:34,946 --> 00:25:35,257
now.
519
00:25:35,257 --> 00:25:36,190
So I just
520
00:25:36,190 --> 00:25:38,678
want y'all to remember
what you've already done.
521
00:25:38,678 --> 00:25:39,300
What all
522
00:25:39,300 --> 00:25:40,855
of us have already done.
523
00:25:40,855 --> 00:25:41,166
Let's
524
00:25:41,166 --> 00:25:42,409
make it, let's make
525
00:25:42,409 --> 00:25:43,031
it work.
526
00:25:47,142 --> 00:25:49,312
If you would like to see Jason go through
527
00:25:49,312 --> 00:25:50,342
the round three, make some noise.
528
00:26:05,342 --> 00:26:06,501
I love this question.
529
00:26:06,502 --> 00:26:08,472
You're asking, is it how long it goes?
530
00:26:08,782 --> 00:26:12,942
Because that's going to come into
play in about, in about 20 seconds.
531
00:26:13,312 --> 00:26:15,342
Who can go into the longest?
532
00:26:17,212 --> 00:26:18,131
Which, number one, is it?
533
00:26:18,432 --> 00:26:20,332
Amazing energy for Jason, right?
534
00:26:20,332 --> 00:26:23,132
And Jason, Jason had come out,
Jason had done, he'd killed.
535
00:26:23,242 --> 00:26:24,202
He'd been doing a great.
536
00:26:24,202 --> 00:26:28,992
So he, he, and what I love the most
about this rumble is, and we kind of
537
00:26:28,992 --> 00:26:32,972
referenced this earlier, but everyone
did their job, like every single
538
00:26:32,972 --> 00:26:36,162
one showed up and did their best.
539
00:26:36,372 --> 00:26:41,872
And because of that, we all collectively
got to have a fantastic night, which
540
00:26:41,942 --> 00:26:45,462
I, I was, nobody left, nobody left.
541
00:26:45,682 --> 00:26:46,682
Everyone was there.
542
00:26:46,732 --> 00:26:47,972
Everyone was like in that.
543
00:26:47,992 --> 00:26:52,452
And it was such a magic energy
to be in to like, I, it felt like
544
00:26:52,452 --> 00:26:54,842
I, there were so many moments
where I felt like I was floating.
545
00:26:56,672 --> 00:26:57,042
Yeah.
546
00:26:58,432 --> 00:27:01,802
Like, uh, like when I was going up
there again, this was the biggest
547
00:27:01,802 --> 00:27:02,912
crowd that I'd been in front of.
548
00:27:03,472 --> 00:27:08,192
And to be completely honest, that
first round, even like before my round
549
00:27:08,202 --> 00:27:13,542
with Jason, when I was going against
Michael, I had so much time to prepare
550
00:27:13,882 --> 00:27:15,682
for that first minute of unused comedy.
551
00:27:15,682 --> 00:27:15,982
Right.
552
00:27:16,332 --> 00:27:17,022
And then.
553
00:27:17,597 --> 00:27:20,217
Like two days before the
actual rumble, I finally got
554
00:27:20,217 --> 00:27:22,197
an idea of something I can say.
555
00:27:22,427 --> 00:27:26,007
And so I'm not even really
listening to Michael's round as he's
556
00:27:26,017 --> 00:27:27,347
going, like I'm paying attention.
557
00:27:27,697 --> 00:27:29,567
But I'm just sitting there
like just going over my joke,
558
00:27:29,597 --> 00:27:30,687
just like going over my joke.
559
00:27:30,687 --> 00:27:34,087
Because the second the lights hit me, I
lose like the first 10 seconds of my joke.
560
00:27:34,547 --> 00:27:36,001
And then I just like go from there.
561
00:27:36,742 --> 00:27:39,612
But I was like, okay, I'm gonna
say this, I'm gonna say this, I'm
562
00:27:39,612 --> 00:27:40,832
gonna say this, I'm gonna say this.
563
00:27:41,092 --> 00:27:44,242
And then I was listening to Michael
and he says something about having
564
00:27:44,242 --> 00:27:45,552
the confidence to do something.
565
00:27:45,932 --> 00:27:48,932
And the whole joke that I prepped
for the past three days, I was
566
00:27:48,932 --> 00:27:49,862
like, I'm not doing any of that.
567
00:27:50,632 --> 00:27:52,612
I'm not confident in that joke.
568
00:27:52,612 --> 00:27:57,472
And I went up there, I'm
like, what am I confident in?
569
00:27:58,052 --> 00:27:58,832
Yes!
570
00:28:01,112 --> 00:28:03,652
And it's like you say, just listen,
just listen to what they were saying.
571
00:28:04,372 --> 00:28:07,152
Well, and, and not only that,
cause I would, maybe we'll jump
572
00:28:07,152 --> 00:28:10,002
back and show that clip too,
because what you do there is great.
573
00:28:10,032 --> 00:28:14,032
Cause you come out with this really
great joke, but also because you were
574
00:28:14,032 --> 00:28:20,052
listening, you knew that there was a whole
crew of white dudes in the front row.
575
00:28:20,387 --> 00:28:21,317
Who were from
576
00:28:21,317 --> 00:28:22,336
and
577
00:28:22,817 --> 00:28:23,827
so we're farmers.
578
00:28:23,857 --> 00:28:27,307
And so who definitely had done
something with a tractor at some point.
579
00:28:27,747 --> 00:28:31,217
And so not something you were
confident in and you've been
580
00:28:31,227 --> 00:28:33,317
listening to what's been going on.
581
00:28:33,317 --> 00:28:36,037
And so you were able to step
in and there's this fantastic,
582
00:28:36,047 --> 00:28:36,707
cause you get in there.
583
00:28:36,857 --> 00:28:37,557
It's funny.
584
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:40,337
You're talking about airplanes and
then you're like, I play tractor
585
00:28:40,337 --> 00:28:43,727
simulator and a tractor can't be
that different from an airplane.
586
00:28:44,067 --> 00:28:47,467
And then you go, you guys know
something about tractors, right?
587
00:28:47,987 --> 00:28:48,787
Boom.
588
00:28:48,847 --> 00:28:49,267
Right.
589
00:28:49,327 --> 00:28:50,427
Big eruption from them.
590
00:28:50,427 --> 00:28:54,017
And then that got a bigger up
because everyone saw them reacting.
591
00:28:54,277 --> 00:28:56,827
And so just masterfully done.
592
00:28:57,067 --> 00:28:57,887
And why?
593
00:28:57,947 --> 00:29:00,997
Because you had confidence and
because you were listening, right?
594
00:29:00,997 --> 00:29:03,697
So there's this delicate
balance of we got to have both.
595
00:29:03,877 --> 00:29:08,067
If you just go in with confidence and
you just barrel over everything that's
596
00:29:08,067 --> 00:29:09,952
happening, You're not going to connect.
597
00:29:10,432 --> 00:29:14,352
And if you just go in with listening,
if you go into soft, then you're
598
00:29:14,352 --> 00:29:16,172
not, you're not the commander.
599
00:29:16,202 --> 00:29:22,422
And, and no matter what style of comedy
you do, what everyone who sees you,
600
00:29:22,562 --> 00:29:27,152
whatever, what everyone in the audience
actually wants is for you to be in charge.
601
00:29:28,502 --> 00:29:29,682
They want you to be in charge.
602
00:29:29,682 --> 00:29:31,362
They want you to take them on a journey.
603
00:29:31,702 --> 00:29:35,292
And, and if you don't do that, then
they're going to do something else.
604
00:29:36,382 --> 00:29:40,142
I need to go up there and say,
I'm funny, you're gonna laugh, and
605
00:29:40,372 --> 00:29:41,562
you're gonna pay attention too.
606
00:29:41,902 --> 00:29:45,152
Otherwise, the side conversations
start, the phones come out, da
607
00:29:45,152 --> 00:29:48,732
da da, it's, it's really, It's
really fast to lose the crowd.
608
00:29:48,972 --> 00:29:52,182
And so you have, like, when I
come up there, I'm like, it's like
609
00:29:52,192 --> 00:29:53,122
you said, you just got to hit it.
610
00:29:53,132 --> 00:29:55,712
You got to hit it and be paying
attention to what you're hitting too.
611
00:29:55,712 --> 00:29:57,752
Otherwise you're just
going to push people off.
612
00:29:58,732 --> 00:29:59,082
Yeah.
613
00:29:59,362 --> 00:30:05,322
So, uh, I've, I've now been become
aware of the potential, uh, racist
614
00:30:05,332 --> 00:30:06,742
train that we're going to run into.
615
00:30:07,042 --> 00:30:10,192
And I'm like, please, your
audience do not do it.
616
00:30:10,212 --> 00:30:13,842
Think about, cause not only, not
only had Kamala just happened
617
00:30:14,112 --> 00:30:15,882
literally the night before.
618
00:30:16,277 --> 00:30:19,607
and a crazy thing that I
still cannot understand.
619
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:22,337
Jake Paul somehow beat Mike Tyson.
620
00:30:26,477 --> 00:30:33,437
So we have a, uh, uh, uh, an orange Cheeto
man defeating a competent white woman.
621
00:30:33,857 --> 00:30:40,157
And then we have a young, just absurdly
overconfident YouTuber, white YouTuber
622
00:30:40,597 --> 00:30:44,087
beat up an accomplished black legend.
623
00:30:44,577 --> 00:30:45,347
So that
624
00:30:45,357 --> 00:30:47,407
is the full That was elder abuse.
625
00:30:47,757 --> 00:30:51,987
We watched, we watched like
10 rounds of just elder abuse.
626
00:30:52,097 --> 00:30:55,347
You're not putting anybody else's
65 year old grandpa in the ring.
627
00:30:55,977 --> 00:30:56,487
No,
628
00:30:58,187 --> 00:30:58,557
we're not.
629
00:30:58,867 --> 00:31:03,837
But it's Mike Tyson, and he's crazy, and
so of course we can do it to him, right?
630
00:31:04,377 --> 00:31:05,277
Right, but if you,
631
00:31:05,277 --> 00:31:10,597
even if you watch like recent Mike
Tyson videos, he's a lot more chill
632
00:31:10,597 --> 00:31:12,587
now, except for that interview
he did with that little girl.
633
00:31:13,142 --> 00:31:16,412
That was so funny when he said that
life is meaningless and after you
634
00:31:16,412 --> 00:31:19,562
die, there's nothing else after she's
he's been interviewed by like a 14
635
00:31:19,562 --> 00:31:26,962
year old girl besides that crazy Mike
Tyson he was he's like look I just I
636
00:31:26,962 --> 00:31:31,762
used to fight I'm calm now Sure, I'll
put on a show for you guys and he got
637
00:31:31,782 --> 00:31:34,742
like 28 year old prime of his life fit
638
00:31:37,242 --> 00:31:38,812
Just whooping on the old man, bro.
639
00:31:39,282 --> 00:31:43,222
Full of like all of this
unearned white confidence, right?
640
00:31:43,222 --> 00:31:48,182
Just full of like, I have
millions of views on YouTube.
641
00:31:48,582 --> 00:31:48,812
And
642
00:31:48,812 --> 00:31:48,992
so
643
00:31:48,992 --> 00:31:51,032
I'm gonna He knows he's
going into the history books.
644
00:31:51,052 --> 00:31:55,197
He's fueled by like At some 50
years from now, they're gonna talk
645
00:31:55,197 --> 00:31:58,797
about Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson,
which is the crazy thing to say
646
00:31:58,797 --> 00:32:01,067
right now, today, still right.
647
00:32:01,277 --> 00:32:05,747
Especially, especially because if
you put 28-year-old Mike Tyson up
648
00:32:05,747 --> 00:32:11,037
against Jake Paul, Jake Paul would
be, would, wouldn't exist anymore.
649
00:32:11,307 --> 00:32:12,057
He would be boxing.
650
00:32:12,057 --> 00:32:12,687
They wouldn't sanction
651
00:32:12,687 --> 00:32:12,747
a
652
00:32:12,747 --> 00:32:13,047
fight.
653
00:32:13,857 --> 00:32:14,532
They would not
654
00:32:18,257 --> 00:32:19,157
They're like, he wants to fight.
655
00:32:19,157 --> 00:32:19,397
Who?
656
00:32:19,427 --> 00:32:20,627
No, get away from me.
657
00:32:21,307 --> 00:32:22,297
What are you talking about?
658
00:32:22,297 --> 00:32:22,927
You're crazy.
659
00:32:24,402 --> 00:32:27,332
So that's the context that is going on.
660
00:32:27,852 --> 00:32:33,002
And then that brings us to this moment,
which this is, this is arguably one of my
661
00:32:33,012 --> 00:32:38,362
very favorite moments on stage, because I
love to me, comedy is all energy, right?
662
00:32:38,362 --> 00:32:42,252
It's all about, it's all about
playing with the energy of humans.
663
00:32:42,572 --> 00:32:46,122
And I think it's really a sacred
thing that we do because we're,
664
00:32:46,402 --> 00:32:48,582
people are coming to our show.
665
00:32:48,592 --> 00:32:50,162
They're giving us their energy.
666
00:32:50,162 --> 00:32:51,562
And then we get to do.
667
00:32:51,867 --> 00:32:52,917
Something fun with it.
668
00:32:53,067 --> 00:32:57,107
And so, and I love the energy that
everyone gives right here and especially
669
00:32:57,107 --> 00:32:58,977
the energy that gets given to you.
670
00:32:58,987 --> 00:33:02,917
Cause some people really show
up for you, uh, right here.
671
00:33:21,677 --> 00:33:24,093
I'm trying to get, I'm
trying to get it back.
672
00:33:24,093 --> 00:33:27,861
I'm like, okay, well,
most of this is done.
673
00:33:37,292 --> 00:33:40,732
I have the microphone.
674
00:33:45,332 --> 00:33:46,692
I am the talking stick.
675
00:33:47,122 --> 00:33:49,442
I am the, I am in charge.
676
00:33:53,712 --> 00:33:54,872
Such a great moment.
677
00:33:54,912 --> 00:33:58,482
And then, so all of that gets out and
then, and then I feel all of that.
678
00:33:58,482 --> 00:34:01,902
And so I'm like, I was
like, that's really intense.
679
00:34:03,742 --> 00:34:06,972
And then we do the decibel measurer
and then we do the coin toss.
680
00:34:07,002 --> 00:34:13,467
But what I, the reason I want to
show that is The energy there, right?
681
00:34:13,497 --> 00:34:17,827
And the, the, the gift, I wanted to
use that to sort of highlight the
682
00:34:17,837 --> 00:34:22,807
gift of what it is that we do and
the opportunity that sort of baked
683
00:34:22,807 --> 00:34:27,977
into what we do, because we have the
opportunity to sort of step into a role.
684
00:34:28,152 --> 00:34:31,112
Where everyone kind of channels
their energy through us.
685
00:34:31,132 --> 00:34:31,372
Right.
686
00:34:31,372 --> 00:34:36,462
So a whole bunch of people in that
audience saw themselves in you and wanted
687
00:34:36,462 --> 00:34:38,622
to like fill you up with that energy.
688
00:34:38,842 --> 00:34:43,332
And that, that was to me a
really beautiful thing to watch.
689
00:34:43,592 --> 00:34:47,192
Like it was really, really
beautiful to see you on stage.
690
00:34:47,447 --> 00:34:53,067
To see you thriving, to see you
stepping in, like to have that
691
00:34:53,107 --> 00:34:57,527
audience throughout the whole show, so
generously give you their energy and
692
00:34:57,527 --> 00:35:01,047
then for you to, to deserve it so well.
693
00:35:01,467 --> 00:35:05,237
So I think what I want to say there is
I just want to thank you and compliment
694
00:35:05,247 --> 00:35:11,217
you and say, thanks for, thanks for
being up to the energetic task of, of
695
00:35:11,217 --> 00:35:13,007
channeling all of that energy for us.
696
00:35:13,277 --> 00:35:14,426
And thanks for giving us a lot of energy.
697
00:35:14,737 --> 00:35:16,337
Really, really good show.
698
00:35:16,687 --> 00:35:19,947
Um, and, and throwing all of yourself
into what you did that night.
699
00:35:21,397 --> 00:35:22,087
Oh, it was dope.
700
00:35:22,117 --> 00:35:25,917
Um, that night and the experience of
it with the crowd, everything that
701
00:35:25,917 --> 00:35:29,947
happened, cause like Jason, I've been
doing comedy or that was his 11 time.
702
00:35:29,967 --> 00:35:35,797
I've been doing comedy for about a year,
maybe, and have had nothing like that
703
00:35:35,797 --> 00:35:37,587
to, to the point, like to this day.
704
00:35:38,107 --> 00:35:42,237
And so I knew like when I watched
comics and like, I watched a lot
705
00:35:42,237 --> 00:35:46,257
of YouTube comedy, like, uh, like
the don't tell comedy, the dry bar.
706
00:35:46,702 --> 00:35:49,772
Um, Chocolate Sundaes, Laugh
Factory, all that, right?
707
00:35:49,772 --> 00:35:51,882
Like they're always showing
clips of just underground comics
708
00:35:51,882 --> 00:35:52,822
of people doing their thing.
709
00:35:53,262 --> 00:35:56,142
And some of them be really rocking
the room to the point where
710
00:35:56,142 --> 00:35:59,022
like everything they say is just
flowing and going and going.
711
00:35:59,352 --> 00:36:02,072
And I was like, I want like,
when I started doing comedy,
712
00:36:02,072 --> 00:36:03,102
I was like, that's my goal.
713
00:36:03,542 --> 00:36:06,612
One of my, my side mission
is to be a cool comic, right?
714
00:36:06,642 --> 00:36:07,842
I've always just wanted to go up there.
715
00:36:08,267 --> 00:36:13,567
Hand in pocket and I just talk and
it's just killing the crowd, but
716
00:36:13,887 --> 00:36:18,667
that's not who I am really because I
need to like, I to do with my hands.
717
00:36:18,827 --> 00:36:19,267
You know what I'm saying?
718
00:36:19,267 --> 00:36:20,547
So like the, I have the drink.
719
00:36:20,827 --> 00:36:21,887
That wasn't even a joke.
720
00:36:21,937 --> 00:36:22,467
That's real.
721
00:36:22,477 --> 00:36:26,167
Like if I'm talking with just with no
microphone or like with nothing in my
722
00:36:26,167 --> 00:36:27,892
hand, This hand's all over the place.
723
00:36:28,192 --> 00:36:30,362
When I'm sitting here,
this keeps me locked in.
724
00:36:30,522 --> 00:36:33,342
It's almost like a little
anchor, a little focus beam.
725
00:36:33,622 --> 00:36:38,602
And so, to go out with the type of comic
that I am, like it wasn't the cool comic,
726
00:36:38,632 --> 00:36:42,932
but it was still the energetic hype
comic, and then still everything was
727
00:36:42,932 --> 00:36:46,472
hidden on point like it was supposed to,
and I could just flow and flow and flow.
728
00:36:46,792 --> 00:36:50,987
That was A really great experience for
me as far as like how the rumble goes.
729
00:36:50,987 --> 00:36:55,107
And that's like, I don't know, it's,
it's, it's hard to put in words, but like
730
00:36:55,107 --> 00:36:58,917
to want to recreate that and have that
type of energy and that type of crowd,
731
00:36:59,387 --> 00:37:01,837
that's what, that's what it was about.
732
00:37:01,847 --> 00:37:03,317
That's what I need, like me losing.
733
00:37:04,307 --> 00:37:04,867
That's whatever.
734
00:37:04,867 --> 00:37:08,637
Losing by a coin toss, I would rather
have lost by the coin toss than by
735
00:37:08,657 --> 00:37:10,247
somebody actually being funnier than me.
736
00:37:10,777 --> 00:37:12,907
So, to lose, to say, you know what I mean?
737
00:37:12,907 --> 00:37:14,027
Like, so I was cool with it.
738
00:37:14,057 --> 00:37:16,997
And then, all the attention
that I got afterwards, too,
739
00:37:16,997 --> 00:37:18,747
was like, Hey, you were robbed.
740
00:37:18,757 --> 00:37:19,497
It should've been you.
741
00:37:19,507 --> 00:37:20,097
It should've been you.
742
00:37:20,167 --> 00:37:22,987
I got at least 20, it should've been yous.
743
00:37:23,377 --> 00:37:26,887
And even that right there was like,
Okay, so tonight was a good night.
744
00:37:26,917 --> 00:37:27,677
Like, I didn't lose.
745
00:37:28,867 --> 00:37:29,247
Excuse me.
746
00:37:30,097 --> 00:37:34,077
I didn't lose, like I didn't win, but
like, I, I definitely did not lose that.
747
00:37:34,077 --> 00:37:35,577
And I like, it was, that was a good time.
748
00:37:36,317 --> 00:37:40,297
Dude, there, there are two things that
I want to, I want to say in response to
749
00:37:40,297 --> 00:37:44,167
that, cause one is I want to just, I want
to thank you for seeing the rumble for
750
00:37:44,167 --> 00:37:47,537
what it is, which is that ability to.
751
00:37:47,912 --> 00:37:49,642
I didn't win, but I didn't lose.
752
00:37:49,682 --> 00:37:49,932
Right.
753
00:37:49,932 --> 00:37:55,172
Because the thing that I think is
really cool is that, um, everyone
754
00:37:55,172 --> 00:37:56,942
walked off that stage looking good.
755
00:37:57,122 --> 00:38:05,832
So as sort of a, as sort of a, um, uh,
not a hack as sort of a gimmick, we've
756
00:38:05,842 --> 00:38:08,962
created a show that creates competition.
757
00:38:09,512 --> 00:38:09,782
Right.
758
00:38:09,812 --> 00:38:12,772
And that competition
creates a sense of movement.
759
00:38:13,072 --> 00:38:15,042
It builds energy in a certain way.
760
00:38:15,342 --> 00:38:19,082
And for whatever reason, humans,
we like to see some people win
761
00:38:19,082 --> 00:38:20,532
and some people lose, right?
762
00:38:20,542 --> 00:38:22,552
Like that's, that's a fun thing for us.
763
00:38:22,552 --> 00:38:23,352
We enjoy that.
764
00:38:23,702 --> 00:38:29,232
And so the, the structure is designed
to do that, but there's a way to do it
765
00:38:29,252 --> 00:38:35,132
in, in which everyone wins where all of
the comics and it really comes down to.
766
00:38:35,397 --> 00:38:38,437
How does every comic
show up in that space?
767
00:38:38,497 --> 00:38:43,177
Do they understand that, that everything
that happens is in service to the show.
768
00:38:43,447 --> 00:38:47,727
And if we all sort of, if we all lose
focus of ourselves and say, it's not
769
00:38:47,727 --> 00:38:53,837
about me, it's about the show and then
throw our energy show, then the show
770
00:38:53,857 --> 00:38:59,967
becomes fabulous and when the show
is fabulous and we are in the show
771
00:39:00,177 --> 00:39:03,927
doing our best, we also look fabulous.
772
00:39:04,002 --> 00:39:04,371
Yeah,
773
00:39:04,652 --> 00:39:05,442
yeah, yeah.
774
00:39:05,662 --> 00:39:09,572
I think it brought, it brought out the
best in everything and everybody too.
775
00:39:09,792 --> 00:39:12,882
Crowd too, like even though the crowd
wasn't on stage, the crowd was performing.
776
00:39:13,682 --> 00:39:16,642
And you don't have, you don't
have comedy without the crowd.
777
00:39:16,712 --> 00:39:19,082
Otherwise you just have a
narcissist with a microphone.
778
00:39:20,922 --> 00:39:26,442
So like, so like everybody, everybody
came through to make it what it was.
779
00:39:26,442 --> 00:39:29,772
Cause like what's really dope
and kind of hard for me sometimes
780
00:39:29,772 --> 00:39:34,562
watching, like watching my clips that
I've been sent, um, is the laugh.
781
00:39:34,907 --> 00:39:39,657
It sounds like a look I was like
like And that's a good thing.
782
00:39:40,127 --> 00:39:40,667
You know what I'm saying?
783
00:39:40,687 --> 00:39:44,117
It doesn't sound like a fake laugh
like the way when I say a joke and
784
00:39:44,117 --> 00:39:47,607
then the crowd comes in, it sounds
like the shit that you see on TV.
785
00:39:47,737 --> 00:39:50,347
And I was like, yo, that's,
and I'm like, that's me.
786
00:39:50,397 --> 00:39:52,957
Like, I'm like, I have the laugh
track, but it's not a laugh track.
787
00:39:52,957 --> 00:39:55,987
Like people actually take a shot
every time I say laugh track.
788
00:39:55,987 --> 00:39:56,987
It's what's really happening.
789
00:39:57,397 --> 00:39:59,977
You so tuned in to what's going on.
790
00:40:00,287 --> 00:40:01,947
That, that it's your feet.
791
00:40:01,977 --> 00:40:04,537
And I love, I love to your,
your attunement, right?
792
00:40:04,807 --> 00:40:06,747
That the audience is performing too.
793
00:40:07,097 --> 00:40:10,247
And that's something that I, I believe
that, that, that in fact, that's one
794
00:40:10,247 --> 00:40:13,217
of the, one of the reasons I start
the show with breathing and why I
795
00:40:13,227 --> 00:40:17,527
start the show with, with chair cult
is I actually want to subtly tell
796
00:40:17,527 --> 00:40:20,487
the audience, this is also on you.
797
00:40:22,722 --> 00:40:28,442
You guys want a good show tonight,
then you need to give us your attention
798
00:40:28,462 --> 00:40:32,262
and you need to be open just like,
just like if I'm, if I ask someone
799
00:40:32,262 --> 00:40:34,912
on a date and I'm like, look, do
you want to go on a date with me?
800
00:40:34,912 --> 00:40:37,312
And do you want to have a fun date or
do you want to have a not fun date?
801
00:40:37,692 --> 00:40:38,962
And if you want to have a fun date.
802
00:40:39,517 --> 00:40:40,957
You've got to be open to me.
803
00:40:41,247 --> 00:40:43,137
You've got to be open
to what I got to try.
804
00:40:43,637 --> 00:40:44,697
You got to try, right?
805
00:40:44,697 --> 00:40:46,047
You got to kind of make an effort, right?
806
00:40:46,777 --> 00:40:50,237
And if you're, if both people are making
an effort, then you have a fun date.
807
00:40:50,567 --> 00:40:54,757
And if the both, if the audience and
the comic are both making an effort,
808
00:40:54,967 --> 00:40:55,987
you're going to have a fun show.
809
00:40:57,627 --> 00:40:58,137
Exactly.
810
00:40:58,147 --> 00:40:59,437
Cause I was like, I'll tell you something.
811
00:40:59,467 --> 00:41:00,387
If it's funny, laugh.
812
00:41:00,427 --> 00:41:01,187
It's okay to laugh.
813
00:41:01,197 --> 00:41:04,437
Like, even if you think it's funny and
you like, you're not a laughing person.
814
00:41:05,397 --> 00:41:08,777
If you laugh is telling me like,
okay, I'm doing something right.
815
00:41:08,877 --> 00:41:11,517
I'm going to keep giving me,
it's a semiotic relationship.
816
00:41:11,527 --> 00:41:12,237
I want to tell a joke.
817
00:41:12,237 --> 00:41:12,697
You're going to laugh.
818
00:41:12,737 --> 00:41:13,627
I want the laughter.
819
00:41:13,627 --> 00:41:14,507
You want the jokes.
820
00:41:15,097 --> 00:41:16,617
I got the jokes, the jokes.
821
00:41:16,647 --> 00:41:17,577
I already know.
822
00:41:17,577 --> 00:41:18,087
It's funny.
823
00:41:18,547 --> 00:41:19,467
I want the laughter.
824
00:41:19,467 --> 00:41:21,857
That's how, that's how it comes back in.
825
00:41:21,967 --> 00:41:24,397
So like, for example, I
was at the last rumble too.
826
00:41:24,927 --> 00:41:29,097
And, um, How you said it with the,
uh, the crowd has to be engaged.
827
00:41:29,107 --> 00:41:32,637
It's not going to be, it's not going to
be funny unless like you're willing to be
828
00:41:32,637 --> 00:41:34,777
like, okay, these guys can make me laugh.
829
00:41:34,777 --> 00:41:37,047
Not like you're, you
have to make me laugh.
830
00:41:37,427 --> 00:41:37,997
Yeah.
831
00:41:38,177 --> 00:41:39,097
Make, make me laugh.
832
00:41:39,437 --> 00:41:39,627
Right.
833
00:41:39,647 --> 00:41:41,677
Like nobody's making
anybody laugh doing that.
834
00:41:42,057 --> 00:41:47,837
You got to put hands on, but with
the last, uh, show, I was that.
835
00:41:48,247 --> 00:41:51,757
That moan in the back when you did
the breathing exercise, because
836
00:41:51,757 --> 00:41:54,467
I can already tell that the crowd
was like teeter tottering, right?
837
00:41:54,817 --> 00:41:56,767
They didn't know, they're like,
is this going to be a good show?
838
00:41:56,807 --> 00:41:57,627
It's going to da da da.
839
00:41:57,987 --> 00:42:00,477
And so you said you need a audible exhale.
840
00:42:00,947 --> 00:42:01,527
I was like,
841
00:42:03,347 --> 00:42:04,477
Yeah,
842
00:42:04,727 --> 00:42:07,847
everybody's like, okay, it's okay
to be, it's okay to be foolish.
843
00:42:07,857 --> 00:42:09,367
Like, this is a spot for laughs.
844
00:42:10,127 --> 00:42:11,637
Stop taking it so serious.
845
00:42:12,502 --> 00:42:13,212
Thank you.
846
00:42:13,482 --> 00:42:17,702
Thank you for doing this because
you're so that the last rumble we had.
847
00:42:17,952 --> 00:42:21,132
So the one you were on
112, this one, we had 47.
848
00:42:21,142 --> 00:42:22,272
So it was a smaller audience.
849
00:42:22,452 --> 00:42:25,302
And with a smaller audience, there's
always a little bit of a risk.
850
00:42:25,682 --> 00:42:29,892
And, but we were able to get to the
same place because everyone opened up.
851
00:42:29,922 --> 00:42:32,572
And, and that, I remember
that moment, right?
852
00:42:32,572 --> 00:42:34,172
I get up there and I can feel them.
853
00:42:34,172 --> 00:42:37,462
There's some, there's some chittering,
but there's also some reservedness.
854
00:42:37,462 --> 00:42:38,612
And so I'm like, okay, we do this.
855
00:42:38,842 --> 00:42:40,452
And there's you, you do that moan.
856
00:42:40,452 --> 00:42:40,522
Yeah.
857
00:42:40,707 --> 00:42:42,117
And that makes everyone laugh.
858
00:42:42,377 --> 00:42:43,207
And what's great.
859
00:42:43,947 --> 00:42:49,107
I love about that is, is getting, having
everyone laugh and having it not be
860
00:42:49,107 --> 00:42:53,417
the person on stage, having it be them
first, if they make themselves laugh
861
00:42:53,427 --> 00:42:55,567
first, then it's like, okay, now we're
862
00:42:55,717 --> 00:42:55,917
there,
863
00:42:56,227 --> 00:42:56,447
right?
864
00:42:56,457 --> 00:42:59,317
You're already, you've
already opened yourselves up.
865
00:42:59,347 --> 00:42:59,617
Okay.
866
00:42:59,617 --> 00:43:00,916
Now I can step into it.
867
00:43:00,917 --> 00:43:05,257
And we had, again, we had a fantastic
rumble because even though the
868
00:43:05,257 --> 00:43:08,937
audience was small, they did their
job and then the comics did their job.
869
00:43:08,937 --> 00:43:09,286
Yeah.
870
00:43:11,867 --> 00:43:12,467
Absolutely, yeah.
871
00:43:12,837 --> 00:43:17,017
You have to show people, not
only is it okay to laugh, it's
872
00:43:17,017 --> 00:43:18,357
okay to laugh at yourself, too.
873
00:43:19,307 --> 00:43:23,537
Like, I've been to a few comedy
shows, like, uh, like Chico Bean, for
874
00:43:23,537 --> 00:43:28,117
example, from Wildin Out, where, like,
you know, buy tickets, it's sold out,
875
00:43:28,297 --> 00:43:31,237
they're in front of, like, two, three,
four, five thousand people, whatever.
876
00:43:31,757 --> 00:43:35,917
And the comic will ask the question and
I'll answer but I wasn't actually like
877
00:43:35,937 --> 00:43:40,367
listening to like I said something wrong
And the comic oh this dumbass nigga It's
878
00:43:40,367 --> 00:43:44,107
like i'm laughing still all the people
around a lot of people be embarrassed
879
00:43:44,107 --> 00:43:48,047
or get mad Like, you know how hecklers
they get offended when the comic throws
880
00:43:48,047 --> 00:43:52,252
something back at them and it's like
no, we're supposed to be talking shit.
881
00:43:52,262 --> 00:43:53,792
We're supposed to be cracking these jokes.
882
00:43:54,142 --> 00:43:57,572
And so even when I interact with like
bigger comics and I say something and
883
00:43:57,572 --> 00:44:01,092
I'm wrong and it can be embarrassing
and now he goes off on like a three
884
00:44:01,092 --> 00:44:03,002
minute joke where he's roasting me.
885
00:44:03,652 --> 00:44:06,082
I know one, he can't even see me.
886
00:44:06,432 --> 00:44:07,902
Two, he doesn't know who I am.
887
00:44:07,902 --> 00:44:10,062
I'm probably never going to see him again.
888
00:44:10,442 --> 00:44:14,892
And three, all the people who are around
me laughing at me, I don't know them.
889
00:44:14,962 --> 00:44:15,952
They don't pay my rent.
890
00:44:16,012 --> 00:44:17,182
I don't give a fuck about these guys.
891
00:44:17,442 --> 00:44:18,772
So they can laugh at me all they want.
892
00:44:19,157 --> 00:44:19,927
I'm about to go home.
893
00:44:20,407 --> 00:44:21,617
Like, at the end of the
day, I'm going home.
894
00:44:21,637 --> 00:44:23,167
And I had a good time at the same time.
895
00:44:23,427 --> 00:44:27,967
So, like, people have to realize
comedy, comedy is really, really tough.
896
00:44:28,287 --> 00:44:32,137
I used to make music and I've
performed, like, I've gone to
897
00:44:32,137 --> 00:44:33,917
different states to do concerts.
898
00:44:33,917 --> 00:44:35,027
I've opened up for people.
899
00:44:35,557 --> 00:44:40,849
Music is, I don't want to say easy,
because that's disrespecting a lot of
900
00:44:40,849 --> 00:44:44,437
people and the craft of what they do,
but there's a lot more room for error
901
00:44:45,107 --> 00:44:46,997
when you're performing music, right?
902
00:44:47,467 --> 00:44:48,327
And comedy.
903
00:44:48,627 --> 00:44:50,877
You gotta, you have to be so on point.
904
00:44:51,382 --> 00:44:54,622
That you need that crowd to
also come through for you.
905
00:44:54,622 --> 00:44:56,292
It's like, okay, I'm doing my part.
906
00:44:56,662 --> 00:44:59,372
I need you guys to come through
on here and be like, Hey, this
907
00:44:59,382 --> 00:45:00,182
is going to be a good time.
908
00:45:00,552 --> 00:45:01,872
You guys got to step in too.
909
00:45:02,852 --> 00:45:02,872
Yeah.
910
00:45:03,212 --> 00:45:04,132
Oh, I love that.
911
00:45:04,182 --> 00:45:07,102
That's such a, it's such a sophisticated
way to think about the audience.
912
00:45:07,102 --> 00:45:10,422
And I think that's why, why you,
that's why you connect so well.
913
00:45:11,042 --> 00:45:13,842
The other thing I want to keep us on
track, cause we're, we're about out of
914
00:45:13,842 --> 00:45:18,272
time, but the other thing I wanted to just
talk about real, real briefly, um, was.
915
00:45:19,412 --> 00:45:22,082
What kind of what you said about that
having been your biggest crowd and sort
916
00:45:22,082 --> 00:45:26,962
of, it was a, it was sort of a new level
for you and that is, I love that you said
917
00:45:26,962 --> 00:45:32,162
that because that's literally the reason
why I made the rumble is that when I
918
00:45:32,172 --> 00:45:34,092
started comedy, I started doing open mics.
919
00:45:34,642 --> 00:45:38,532
And then I got lucky because I met a guy
who coached me and when he coached me,
920
00:45:38,532 --> 00:45:40,662
he was a little more successful comic.
921
00:45:40,662 --> 00:45:43,962
And so he had, he had shows on weekends
where he would put me on to open.
922
00:45:44,782 --> 00:45:50,332
So I got the opportunity about three
months into my comedy career of opening
923
00:45:50,362 --> 00:45:53,712
for a hot crowd on a Saturday night.
924
00:45:54,992 --> 00:45:55,672
Oh, fire.
925
00:45:56,187 --> 00:46:00,987
That changed me because suddenly it
was like, it was like, I'd been kind of
926
00:46:00,997 --> 00:46:04,827
playing down in the foothills and then all
of a sudden I was up on the mountaintop
927
00:46:05,027 --> 00:46:10,127
and I could see, I was like, Oh, this,
this is the level where it can be at.
928
00:46:10,387 --> 00:46:14,856
And so then when I went down into this
other, into this sort of other area where.
929
00:46:15,097 --> 00:46:18,347
It's an open mic crowd is just
different than a, than a weekend crowd.
930
00:46:19,097 --> 00:46:20,867
I still had this memory, right?
931
00:46:20,867 --> 00:46:23,817
I knew what that sounded like, so
I could sort of play with it and
932
00:46:23,817 --> 00:46:25,027
it helped me kind of move along.
933
00:46:25,387 --> 00:46:30,447
And what I wanted to do with the rumble
is I wanted to give other comics who
934
00:46:30,447 --> 00:46:34,777
were like me, who were starting out,
who maybe didn't have the cred or the
935
00:46:34,777 --> 00:46:38,417
relationships or whatever it is to,
to be able to get on a weekend stage,
936
00:46:38,627 --> 00:46:41,057
I wanted to say, if you'll come here.
937
00:46:41,317 --> 00:46:44,737
And you will, you'll bust your ass
and you'll do work and you'll do,
938
00:46:44,957 --> 00:46:48,067
and you'll, you'll throw your energy
into this thing that I've created.
939
00:46:48,357 --> 00:46:54,087
You will get the opportunity to step
onto a hot weekend stage and you'll be
940
00:46:54,087 --> 00:46:57,837
able to what that feels and feel what
that feels like, and you'll be able to
941
00:46:57,837 --> 00:47:00,026
experience what that does for your craft.
942
00:47:01,417 --> 00:47:02,087
And that's dope.
943
00:47:02,157 --> 00:47:06,497
Uh, the Rumble definitely, it definitely
has the opportunity there for people to
944
00:47:06,497 --> 00:47:11,477
do, like, I had to make a new Instagram
after the Rumble because people, because
945
00:47:11,477 --> 00:47:13,247
my personal Instagram is set to private.
946
00:47:13,627 --> 00:47:17,107
I really don't like, I like interacting
with people, making friends, whatever.
947
00:47:17,397 --> 00:47:22,597
But I've learned that, like, you gotta
keep the good stuff to yourself, right?
948
00:47:22,627 --> 00:47:25,911
You, like, this world, there's a lot
of people out there who just, you know,
949
00:47:26,332 --> 00:47:31,862
They don't hate you, but they hate
that, like, you, they don't have the
950
00:47:31,862 --> 00:47:33,412
happiness, whatever, that you have.
951
00:47:33,452 --> 00:47:35,802
When you're showing things and
you're sharing your happiness,
952
00:47:35,892 --> 00:47:37,512
there are people that are trying
to take your happiness away.
953
00:47:37,892 --> 00:47:40,612
So I keep my personal profile
private, and that's for people
954
00:47:40,612 --> 00:47:42,122
who, like, actually know me.
955
00:47:42,122 --> 00:47:44,071
I want to talk to these people, da da da.
956
00:47:44,152 --> 00:47:48,272
I had ad, I was close to adding,
like, 20 or 30 new people.
957
00:47:48,957 --> 00:47:52,487
On my personal page that I'm
like, I like, no offense.
958
00:47:52,487 --> 00:47:53,527
I'm glad you guys liked me.
959
00:47:53,527 --> 00:47:54,447
I'm glad you guys want to follow me.
960
00:47:54,447 --> 00:47:55,027
You're my fans.
961
00:47:55,377 --> 00:47:56,887
I don't want you in my personal life.
962
00:47:56,887 --> 00:48:00,627
I just want you to know me
as the, yeah, yeah, yeah.
963
00:48:00,647 --> 00:48:01,447
No kid cute.
964
00:48:01,497 --> 00:48:04,787
And so I had to, and so, and
that's because of the rumble.
965
00:48:04,827 --> 00:48:09,697
And so what you're doing, I appreciate
that because every week you get.
966
00:48:09,962 --> 00:48:12,662
Or not every week, but every Rumble,
you get a bunch of comics that
967
00:48:12,762 --> 00:48:15,642
somebody probably hasn't heard of,
and there's a lot of talent out there.
968
00:48:15,812 --> 00:48:17,202
It's just the market's so flooded.
969
00:48:17,562 --> 00:48:19,892
There's so much talent out
there in the, in the Rumble.
970
00:48:19,892 --> 00:48:24,301
If you do it right, and it's executed
right, you put the work in and
971
00:48:24,302 --> 00:48:29,312
the crowd's there, you have a real
opportunity to build momentum and, and
972
00:48:29,552 --> 00:48:33,432
you can't dictate where you're going,
but you're definitely able to push.
973
00:48:33,812 --> 00:48:36,542
The direction that you want to
be in a little, a little bit in
974
00:48:36,542 --> 00:48:37,602
the universe would do the rest.
975
00:48:37,882 --> 00:48:41,502
And what I love about it too, is I'm, I'm
sort of coming from, coming at this from
976
00:48:41,502 --> 00:48:50,462
a perspective of if I am, if I am, uh,
disciplined and intentional in the way
977
00:48:50,462 --> 00:48:55,292
that I give and create opportunities for
other people, that will be good for me.
978
00:48:56,817 --> 00:49:02,367
That, that me giving to other people
will sort of create this energetic
979
00:49:02,387 --> 00:49:06,117
movement that will then come back
and it will lift me up as well.
980
00:49:06,317 --> 00:49:10,257
And so being able to really focus
on that, it's like an energy orgy.
981
00:49:10,287 --> 00:49:11,077
Exactly.
982
00:49:14,597 --> 00:49:18,227
And what's beautiful about that is
I have endless energy for giving.
983
00:49:19,147 --> 00:49:23,067
If I believe that my giving just
naturally is going to bring me the things
984
00:49:23,067 --> 00:49:27,717
that I need, I, I have endless energy
for putting people like you on shows.
985
00:49:27,867 --> 00:49:32,647
I have endless energy for creating
opportunities to, cause I agree with you.
986
00:49:32,647 --> 00:49:36,927
I, I go to open mics and I talk to
comics and I, I see these people out
987
00:49:36,927 --> 00:49:41,197
here and, and there are, especially
in low in the local comedy scenes
988
00:49:41,227 --> 00:49:47,707
that I've seen in Salt Lake and in Las
Vegas, there are incredibly talented,
989
00:49:48,017 --> 00:49:53,827
Funny and hardworking comics that some
people will never get an opportunity
990
00:49:53,827 --> 00:49:59,037
to see or experience because they're
not, because right now they're in this,
991
00:49:59,047 --> 00:50:03,057
they're on this level and they're not
like selling out stadiums, but who says
992
00:50:03,057 --> 00:50:07,922
you have to sell out a stadium in order
to be Uh, in order to be funny, right?
993
00:50:07,922 --> 00:50:12,242
In order to have a awesome experience,
you don't have to go like, sure, fucking
994
00:50:12,242 --> 00:50:15,702
go to a stadium if that's where your
favorite comic is, but also recognize that
995
00:50:15,712 --> 00:50:21,452
you could come to a local comedy club and
with the right structure, you could see.
996
00:50:22,267 --> 00:50:24,377
Incredibly funny shit.
997
00:50:24,737 --> 00:50:26,477
Incredibly funny shit.
998
00:50:26,877 --> 00:50:29,477
And it's just people who
live in your neighborhood.
999
00:50:29,687 --> 00:50:30,507
It's just people.
1000
00:50:32,397 --> 00:50:33,537
And you never know what
you're going to see.
1001
00:50:33,537 --> 00:50:34,577
I went to a mic one time.
1002
00:50:34,617 --> 00:50:35,427
It wasn't the open mic.
1003
00:50:35,957 --> 00:50:40,637
It was a, uh, was it the
Dirty at 1230 at South Point.
1004
00:50:41,097 --> 00:50:41,447
Right?
1005
00:50:41,497 --> 00:50:44,597
And I don't know how they
find people to go on there.
1006
00:50:44,597 --> 00:50:47,787
So I was just there as a,
in the crowd and this French
1007
00:50:48,137 --> 00:50:49,657
frilliquist comes up here, right?
1008
00:50:50,277 --> 00:50:52,637
And And I'm excited.
1009
00:50:52,687 --> 00:50:54,497
So I'm like, all right, this
is dope, you know, every, every
1010
00:50:54,507 --> 00:50:55,517
form of comedy is something.
1011
00:50:55,997 --> 00:50:59,177
But the way he's doing it is he's
not like not moving his mouth.
1012
00:50:59,287 --> 00:51:00,327
He's just covering his mouth.
1013
00:51:00,777 --> 00:51:04,657
So he has, he has the parrot or
whatever the fuck's on his arm.
1014
00:51:04,947 --> 00:51:06,227
He's like, so how's the weather today?
1015
00:51:06,427 --> 00:51:07,027
Oh, I don't know.
1016
00:51:07,027 --> 00:51:08,097
The weather's going pretty nice.
1017
00:51:08,967 --> 00:51:10,457
And I'm like, yo, this isn't real.
1018
00:51:10,497 --> 00:51:14,477
And so like the crowd, like, no, at
first, there's a couple of laughs at
1019
00:51:14,477 --> 00:51:17,167
first, cause they think it's part of the
bit and then he's going to jump into it.
1020
00:51:17,437 --> 00:51:21,937
His entire 10 minute set was him
covered, just having a conversation
1021
00:51:21,937 --> 00:51:23,537
with us and he doesn't slow down.
1022
00:51:23,767 --> 00:51:24,617
He doesn't stop.
1023
00:51:24,637 --> 00:51:26,337
He doesn't ask the
crowd's paying attention.
1024
00:51:26,757 --> 00:51:28,557
I'm the only one in the crowd laughing.
1025
00:51:29,012 --> 00:51:32,632
Because you don't have much of a,
I don't give a fuck you have to
1026
00:51:32,642 --> 00:51:38,222
have to go up there and do baths
and triloquies for 10 minutes.
1027
00:51:38,902 --> 00:51:39,692
That's funny.
1028
00:51:40,292 --> 00:51:43,472
Everybody there was mad because their
time, they felt their time's been wasted.
1029
00:51:43,782 --> 00:51:46,612
I'm like, yo, this is, this
guy's This is hilarious.
1030
00:51:47,802 --> 00:51:52,002
Even if he did waste their time,
wasting someone's time with bad
1031
00:51:52,012 --> 00:51:58,162
ventriloquism at an open mic at 1230
in Las Vegas is a spectacular joke.
1032
00:51:58,802 --> 00:51:59,532
That is spectacular.
1033
00:52:00,572 --> 00:52:03,302
And his ability to just fucking
own it and be like, yeah, this
1034
00:52:03,302 --> 00:52:04,302
is what we're doing, y'all.
1035
00:52:04,962 --> 00:52:05,262
Yeah.
1036
00:52:05,752 --> 00:52:06,132
Oh my God.
1037
00:52:06,132 --> 00:52:06,752
He's like, no,
1038
00:52:06,832 --> 00:52:07,492
I'm talking.
1039
00:52:07,972 --> 00:52:10,462
I'm talking and then I'm also talking.
1040
00:52:12,212 --> 00:52:13,252
Also talking.
1041
00:52:15,732 --> 00:52:16,732
Dude, I've had so much fun.
1042
00:52:16,892 --> 00:52:20,532
I do want to wrap this up and I wrap, I
like to wrap up by asking two questions.
1043
00:52:20,632 --> 00:52:22,612
Um, and then I'll have, if
there's anything you want to
1044
00:52:22,612 --> 00:52:24,822
pitch, you can pitch it and then
we'll, we'll, we'll wrap it up.
1045
00:52:25,132 --> 00:52:28,842
Um, but on the subject of the
apocalypse and the end of the world.
1046
00:52:29,227 --> 00:52:34,707
Um, I, I sort of think, like, I look
out at where we're at in America,
1047
00:52:34,957 --> 00:52:40,697
and to me, it looks like we are in
the final acts of the United States
1048
00:52:40,697 --> 00:52:43,927
of America, season 12 or whatever.
1049
00:52:44,337 --> 00:52:44,667
Okay.
1050
00:52:44,667 --> 00:52:47,827
And like all good seasons, you
know, there's going to be something
1051
00:52:47,917 --> 00:52:49,247
cataclysmic, something crazy.
1052
00:52:49,567 --> 00:52:54,657
But I also think that there is a lot of,
I think there's a lot of opportunity when
1053
00:52:54,677 --> 00:52:56,607
things get crazy like they are right now.
1054
00:52:57,107 --> 00:52:59,227
And I think that the opportunity is that.
1055
00:53:00,592 --> 00:53:04,142
When, when things sort of get fuzzy,
we can kind of remake the world.
1056
00:53:04,892 --> 00:53:09,392
And so what I'm interested in is, do you
sort of see the fuzziness in the world?
1057
00:53:09,732 --> 00:53:12,532
And if there was a way where you could,
if there's something from the old
1058
00:53:12,542 --> 00:53:15,812
world that you could sort of like let
die or be remade into the new world.
1059
00:53:16,187 --> 00:53:19,217
What would, what would you
want to, if you could, like,
1060
00:53:19,247 --> 00:53:20,627
you're, you're, you're the king.
1061
00:53:20,627 --> 00:53:23,177
You get to speak it into the
microphone and it becomes real.
1062
00:53:23,387 --> 00:53:24,407
What is that thing
1063
00:53:26,417 --> 00:53:27,917
from the old world To the new world?
1064
00:53:27,917 --> 00:53:28,187
Yeah.
1065
00:53:28,247 --> 00:53:31,097
What's, what's the thing called
old that, that need, that needs to
1066
00:53:31,097 --> 00:53:33,017
kind of like go into something new?
1067
00:53:35,097 --> 00:53:36,957
I think there needs to
be more street fights.
1068
00:53:37,807 --> 00:53:38,527
Yes.
1069
00:53:38,647 --> 00:53:39,247
Tell me more.
1070
00:53:39,247 --> 00:53:44,107
Yeah, I think, I think people
getting arrested if it's, if it's
1071
00:53:44,107 --> 00:53:47,657
too consent, like I would even
say duals, you know what I mean?
1072
00:53:48,302 --> 00:53:48,602
Yeah.
1073
00:53:48,682 --> 00:53:49,292
One second.
1074
00:53:50,452 --> 00:53:50,702
Oof.
1075
00:53:50,702 --> 00:53:52,502
I'm getting a call and I don't know why.
1076
00:53:53,452 --> 00:53:54,002
Can you hear me still?
1077
00:53:54,002 --> 00:53:55,282
Is everything, like,
nothing's interrupted?
1078
00:53:55,932 --> 00:53:56,152
Yeah.
1079
00:53:56,152 --> 00:53:56,682
So you were
1080
00:53:56,782 --> 00:53:56,822
saying,
1081
00:53:57,072 --> 00:53:58,092
bring duels back.
1082
00:53:58,452 --> 00:53:58,842
Yeah.
1083
00:53:59,152 --> 00:54:00,742
Like, let's start with street fights.
1084
00:54:00,832 --> 00:54:01,732
Let's see how that goes.
1085
00:54:01,752 --> 00:54:05,112
Cause it used to be, you know, you
go out, you bump into somebody,
1086
00:54:05,122 --> 00:54:09,222
something happens, disagreement,
whatever, whatever the case is, right?
1087
00:54:09,752 --> 00:54:10,592
You go out there.
1088
00:54:10,977 --> 00:54:13,287
Street fight and at the
end of the day you go home.
1089
00:54:13,357 --> 00:54:13,977
It's all good.
1090
00:54:14,447 --> 00:54:17,207
Now, if you find somebody, you
both get arrested, you both go
1091
00:54:17,207 --> 00:54:18,787
to jail, boom, boom, boom, boom.
1092
00:54:19,197 --> 00:54:25,047
If, if there was a threat that you might
have to get into a fight, more prevalent,
1093
00:54:25,167 --> 00:54:26,437
I think the world would be a better place.
1094
00:54:27,307 --> 00:54:28,087
I 100 percent agree.
1095
00:54:28,137 --> 00:54:31,587
When everybody had a revolver, when
everybody had a revolver on the hip and
1096
00:54:31,597 --> 00:54:35,967
an Indian man, and it can be like, hey,
12, we're going to shoot at each other.
1097
00:54:36,387 --> 00:54:37,357
There was less drama.
1098
00:54:39,747 --> 00:54:40,521
This guy might shoot me.
1099
00:54:40,802 --> 00:54:41,262
You know what I'm saying?
1100
00:54:41,852 --> 00:54:42,562
There should be.
1101
00:54:42,562 --> 00:54:44,572
I think, I think we need less logs.
1102
00:54:45,152 --> 00:54:48,082
I think we have gotten too soft as humans.
1103
00:54:48,102 --> 00:54:50,722
We are too, we are too comfortable.
1104
00:54:50,822 --> 00:54:53,002
We think that it's, we
think that death is bad.
1105
00:54:53,292 --> 00:54:56,412
And I do think that, I do think that
I don't like it when people die.
1106
00:54:56,622 --> 00:54:58,652
I think that that is a
sad thing when people die.
1107
00:54:59,102 --> 00:55:02,262
And I think that people
could die and get hurt more.
1108
00:55:02,462 --> 00:55:06,002
If they die, if people died and got
hurt, if there were more immediate
1109
00:55:06,002 --> 00:55:11,297
consequences for stupid behavior, it The
world would have less stupid people in it.
1110
00:55:11,807 --> 00:55:16,577
And so I think a street fight or a
duel is a fantastic, we would have
1111
00:55:16,607 --> 00:55:21,407
fewer dumb racists if, if there
was a consequence for being right.
1112
00:55:21,427 --> 00:55:25,547
Like if, if I'm not walking down the
street, I'm not actually racist to a
1113
00:55:25,547 --> 00:55:27,807
couple of, to someone who looks like you.
1114
00:55:27,917 --> 00:55:29,607
Cause you're going to
beat the shit out of me.
1115
00:55:30,867 --> 00:55:31,637
You're going to punch
somebody in the mouth.
1116
00:55:32,007 --> 00:55:32,847
You're going to punch
somebody in the mouth.
1117
00:55:33,847 --> 00:55:35,907
If you think you're going to hit in the
mouth, you're not going to say anything.
1118
00:55:36,647 --> 00:55:37,007
Right.
1119
00:55:37,437 --> 00:55:37,797
I love this.
1120
00:55:37,877 --> 00:55:38,407
Okay, great.
1121
00:55:38,687 --> 00:55:39,197
Four seconds.
1122
00:55:47,012 --> 00:55:47,332
I'm sorry, man.
1123
00:55:47,462 --> 00:55:49,442
Can I get like 30 seconds
real quick, really?
1124
00:55:50,222 --> 00:55:50,532
Yep.
1125
00:55:53,102 --> 00:55:53,352
Awesome.
1126
00:55:54,782 --> 00:55:55,622
Y'all leaving right now?
1127
00:56:31,072 --> 00:56:32,292
You don't care!
1128
00:56:32,532 --> 00:56:33,762
Yeah, I don't.
1129
00:56:34,192 --> 00:56:34,432
Hey, Preston.
1130
00:56:35,512 --> 00:56:36,692
I don't miss you.
1131
00:56:39,532 --> 00:56:40,322
I don't be here.
1132
00:56:40,612 --> 00:56:41,892
I just get to be with you.
1133
00:56:41,892 --> 00:56:42,462
Love and support.
1134
00:56:42,462 --> 00:56:43,032
Love and support.
1135
00:56:43,032 --> 00:56:43,601
Love and support.
1136
00:57:00,162 --> 00:57:00,782
Sorry about that, brother.
1137
00:57:00,822 --> 00:57:01,672
I got fat leaving.
1138
00:57:03,212 --> 00:57:03,632
No problem.
1139
00:57:04,252 --> 00:57:07,472
I'll just make, I'll make a note of it and
we'll, and we're about any wrapped anyway.
1140
00:57:07,472 --> 00:57:08,542
So I want to, I want to let you go.
1141
00:57:08,782 --> 00:57:15,832
So second question is, um, if we, if, if
this apocalypse goes south and we have
1142
00:57:15,832 --> 00:57:17,532
to like start surviving in crazy ways.
1143
00:57:17,927 --> 00:57:21,427
What apocalyptic skill do you
have that you could teach me?
1144
00:57:24,867 --> 00:57:25,907
That I can teach you?
1145
00:57:26,917 --> 00:57:27,247
Yeah.
1146
00:57:27,717 --> 00:57:30,237
Uh, we can shoot dice.
1147
00:57:30,717 --> 00:57:33,257
I'm a really good, like, dice shooter.
1148
00:57:34,007 --> 00:57:37,877
So if we need to gamble from resources,
I'll keep a pair of dice for me.
1149
00:57:38,427 --> 00:57:40,657
And obviously you gotta, cause
you gotta throw, you gotta snap.
1150
00:57:41,247 --> 00:57:42,877
There's a snap involved
when you're throwing dice.
1151
00:57:43,417 --> 00:57:44,187
And that's just that gamble.
1152
00:57:44,187 --> 00:57:45,377
You gotta, you gotta snap.
1153
00:57:45,377 --> 00:57:46,328
That's the limp wrist.
1154
00:57:46,328 --> 00:57:47,967
It's gotta be tight.
1155
00:57:48,637 --> 00:57:50,997
You can't, don't reference
it, it's the whole, yeah.
1156
00:57:51,567 --> 00:57:53,717
It's the You black people!

00:57:53,827 --> 00:57:56,417

00:59:19,652 --> 00:59:21,012
and it sells out every month.

There's not much that we can do in
this world that we have control over.
1237
01:01:14,137 --> 01:01:16,897
And what you do have control
over, you have full control over.
