00:00:00.200 This is two Kims in a row. I had Hans Kim on the last episode. 0.98
00:00:05.380 I mean, that it comes out, whatever, came out last week.
00:00:09.960 So what else is up?
00:00:11.000 He's, uh...
00:00:11.860 I'm just kidding.
00:00:16.940 No, I love him. I love him.
00:00:18.100 People think I hate Chinese people.
00:00:20.740 I mean, you're not Chinese, but... 0.86
00:00:22.320 Yeah, you think I'm Chinese?
00:00:23.440 No, I know you're, well, you're Korean. Kim. 1.00
00:00:26.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good.
00:00:28.200 But people think I'm racist against Asians. I meant Asians.
00:00:32.400 Yeah, yeah.
00:00:34.280 I mean, I don't think so, but I could see why people would think, like, if they just came across.
00:00:38.180 I've never had any Asian people be mad at me, except I have. 1.00
00:00:41.540 Like, I had some, like, woke female Asians get mad. 1.00
00:00:47.240 That's true. Asian females are usually really woke. 1.00
00:00:50.680 But there's not a lot of, like, guys with Asian accents, like, yelling at me or anything.
00:00:55.640 No, they don't care.
00:00:56.480 You know what it is? It's like, um...
00:00:58.700 It's not in their algorithm.
00:01:00.200 No. Well, especially in North America, like, when we're growing up, it gets so, like...
00:01:05.040 People are like, oh, hello! You know what I mean?
00:01:07.040 Yeah, it's racism.
00:01:08.420 So you're just, like, numb to it.
00:01:10.200 Yeah.
00:01:10.440 You're just like, okay, yeah.
00:01:11.740 I feel like middle school was probably my peak racist era.
00:01:17.440 I'd say...
00:01:18.800 Were you racist in middle school?
00:01:20.180 I think... 0.95
00:01:22.400 I don't think I was ever racist, but I was definitely really, like, ignorant. 0.59
00:01:26.500 We had an Ethiopian chick, and we would always call her Starvin' Marvin. 1.00
00:01:32.940 From...
00:01:34.020 Wait, why Marvin?
00:01:35.120 Well, that was, like, a South Park episode about, like, the...
00:01:37.360 Oh, I never watched South Park.
00:01:37.980 ...starving Ethiopian child.
00:01:40.400 I never watched South Park.
00:01:41.500 And it would, uh...
00:01:42.540 Yeah, so we called her Starvin' Marvin a few times. 1.00
00:01:44.560 She kicked me in the shin. 1.00
00:01:45.360 I still have, like, a bump in my shin.
00:01:48.060 For...
00:01:48.540 From...
00:01:49.420 She kicked you in your shin? 1.00
00:01:50.560 Yeah.
00:01:50.860 With shoes on?
00:01:52.480 Well, what happened was she never, like, she never wore a...
00:01:55.640 A burqa or anything. 0.99
00:01:58.660 But then all this...
00:01:59.460 Is that the head thing?
00:02:00.180 Yeah, or, like, a hijab. 0.91
00:02:01.580 But then all of a sudden she did.
00:02:03.380 But we were all, like, friends with her.
00:02:04.960 Like, it wasn't like we were, you know...
00:02:06.420 How old were you?
00:02:09.760 Middle school.
00:02:10.620 So, like, 12.
00:02:11.500 Yeah, 13.
00:02:13.560 Yeah.
00:02:14.220 And then all of a sudden she started wearing it.
00:02:16.640 But the crazy part was two days before she started wearing it,
00:02:20.900 she burned her forehead, which was massive because she was Ethiopian. 0.92
00:02:25.920 But she burned her forehead with, like, a curling iron or something.
00:02:31.500 Or, like, a straightener.
00:02:32.440 What? On purpose?
00:02:33.280 No.
00:02:34.160 But then we all...
00:02:34.840 Really? 0.99
00:02:35.320 She came to school and then we're all like, bro, what the fuck happened to your forehead? 0.99
00:02:38.800 Like, were you trying to make it smaller? 0.99
00:02:40.260 Like, we were, like, roasting.
00:02:41.340 Maybe she got abused. 1.00
00:02:43.500 Maybe.
00:02:43.960 And then after that she wore it.
00:02:45.840 Really?
00:02:46.380 She started putting it on.
00:02:47.480 And we were, like, kids.
00:02:49.040 So we would just be like, you don't need to wear that.
00:02:51.680 Just no filter.
00:02:53.760 Well, because she... 1.00
00:02:54.380 I mean, if she had always worn it, maybe we would have been more respectful of...
00:02:57.700 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:58.600 But when you know they don't wear it, then they start wearing it.
00:03:01.160 You were like, you just started wearing it because you burned your forehead with a straightener.
00:03:04.820 Yeah.
00:03:05.420 And she was...
00:03:06.360 Anyway, she's now a doctor.
00:03:08.500 No, I don't know what she was saying.
00:03:10.380 You ever look at people from middle school, though, where you're like, what do you do?
00:03:13.280 Like, you ever get curious?
00:03:14.060 You're like, I remember your name.
00:03:16.000 First name, like, I remember everything about you. 1.00
00:03:18.300 I wonder what the fuck you're doing. 0.99
00:03:20.420 I mean... 1.00
00:03:21.260 You never get that.
00:03:21.940 Only if I saw them.
00:03:24.180 But just never in the middle of the night, you never get that.
00:03:26.120 More high school.
00:03:28.740 Maybe high school or, like, university.
00:03:30.520 Just random people in your life when you're younger.
00:03:32.040 You're like, what do they do now?
00:03:33.640 Yeah, most of them do, honestly, nothing.
00:03:36.680 Otherwise, we would probably know them because we're probably doing...
00:03:41.520 Like, they would probably reach out to us, you know what I mean?
00:03:44.300 And be like, yo.
00:03:46.740 Oh, do you get that, too?
00:03:48.000 Do you get people from high school and be like, hey, man, my name's Francis.
00:03:51.600 I went to high school with you, bro.
00:03:53.780 We have mutual friends. 1.00
00:03:55.020 Just want to say you're fucking killing it, bro. 0.99
00:03:57.180 We're really proud of you back home. 1.00
00:03:58.860 You get that?
00:03:59.640 You get that, though?
00:04:01.020 Yeah, you've gotten some of that?
00:04:03.340 Yeah.
00:04:03.980 I have, like, a few.
00:04:05.220 Like, I've had, like, maybe, like...
00:04:06.820 I feel like it happens...
00:04:08.380 It happened, like, two years ago I was getting that.
00:04:10.860 Like, bro!
00:04:11.960 Yeah.
00:04:12.620 But now they're just like, oh, I don't... 1.00
00:04:14.340 Shit. 1.00
00:04:15.240 Yeah. 1.00
00:04:16.180 Like, when I had, like, 40K, they were like, bro, that's crazy.
00:04:19.760 Like, can you give me a free ticket to the...
00:04:22.080 There was, like, some sketchy guy.
00:04:23.500 The free ticket thing.
00:04:24.400 Yeah.
00:04:24.640 People always do that.
00:04:26.420 Can you add a plus one from a girl?
00:04:29.820 What?
00:04:30.320 It does stop because...
00:04:32.160 I mean, you stop answering them, and then they kind of get the program.
00:04:35.340 Or they...
00:04:35.840 But, yeah, people are like, please.
00:04:38.080 There was...
00:04:38.480 I felt really bad at the Toronto show.
00:04:40.860 There was this, like, girl's boyfriend's birthday, and, like, she messaged me and was like, can
00:04:49.000 he please do a meet and greet with you?
00:04:50.700 Like, a VIP for his birthday.
00:04:54.720 And I was like, there's a...
00:04:55.660 I was like, like, this was like four months before the show.
00:04:59.080 And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:01.040 And then...
00:05:01.520 So you don't remember when it's coming up.
00:05:02.980 And then she's like, hey, just reminding you.
00:05:07.080 And I was like, there's actually...
00:05:10.920 We're doing an after party, which we did an after party in Toronto, which was kind of...
00:05:15.540 I mean, I didn't organize it.
00:05:16.760 So, like, this club that I'm friends with, the guy who runs it, reached out to me randomly.
00:05:20.920 It was cool.
00:05:21.220 It's good business.
00:05:21.760 It was fine.
00:05:22.380 I mean, it was weird.
00:05:23.500 Like, but...
00:05:24.100 It's good business.
00:05:24.580 Nobody knew who I was.
00:05:25.600 They're like...
00:05:25.920 I'm like, this is my after party. 1.00
00:05:27.260 And people are like, who the fuck are you? 0.99
00:05:28.880 Like, they're IDing you at the door. 1.00
00:05:30.460 Like, yeah.
00:05:31.460 Well, almost.
00:05:32.460 No, they were pretty cool.
00:05:33.480 The door experience was the coolest part, where they came up to the SUV with, like, a line
00:05:38.320 of dudes and, like, opened the door and, like, escorted us to the table.
00:05:43.600 That's when we realized everybody was 21. 1.00
00:05:46.160 We're like, oh, fuck. 1.00
00:05:46.980 This is retarded. 1.00
00:05:48.200 This is retarded. 1.00
00:05:49.420 Why am I the headpiece of this? 0.93
00:05:52.300 And then we just sat in a weird booth. 0.99
00:05:53.900 Just what you described, where you're like, oh, shit, everyone's 21. 0.96
00:05:56.940 I guarantee there's some people that went to Epstein's Island and that happened. 0.99
00:06:00.960 Yeah. 1.00
00:06:01.360 They were like, wait, what the fuck? 1.00
00:06:05.180 You know what I mean? 1.00
00:06:06.680 Like, oh, no.
00:06:08.100 This is great, but also...
00:06:11.360 Probably should...
00:06:13.740 Oh, is the plane leaves right after it drops us off? 1.00
00:06:16.400 Oh, fuck. 1.00
00:06:17.760 We're just stuck. 1.00
00:06:18.380 But basically, she's just, like...
00:06:25.660 So they came to the after party, and then I didn't even see her.
00:06:29.380 He just came over and was, like, kind of sheepishly, like...
00:06:31.920 And he was kind of, like, mad.
00:06:33.140 I could tell he was mad.
00:06:33.800 Was he handicapped, you said, or something?
00:06:35.340 No, it was just, like, her boyfriend...
00:06:36.520 I mean, probably, but it was just, like, her boyfriend was, like, a big fan of mine.
00:06:40.220 Really?
00:06:40.400 I wanted this VIP.
00:06:41.360 And then he just kind of came up to the table and was, like...
00:06:45.120 Was it loud?
00:06:45.840 And I was, like, are you the guy?
00:06:47.640 Are you the birthday boy? 0.99
00:06:50.220 Like, it's fucking Chucky G's. 0.99
00:06:51.780 Was it loud? 0.99
00:06:53.200 Oh, yeah.
00:06:53.940 So it's just, like, hey, you the guy?
00:06:56.080 Yeah.
00:06:56.780 Oh, brutal.
00:06:58.180 Yeah.
00:06:58.580 That's brutal, dude.
00:06:59.880 And he was, like, yeah.
00:07:01.080 And then I was, like, you could do...
00:07:02.320 Did a shot with us, and then we just kind of ignored him for a second.
00:07:05.940 But, I mean, he could have...
00:07:07.680 I can picture it.
00:07:08.440 I mean, we weren't really into him.
00:07:11.260 He just, like, came over by himself.
00:07:12.640 He didn't even come over with his girl or anything.
00:07:14.380 He was just, like, standing there.
00:07:15.200 Oh, so it was a girl standing by herself?
00:07:15.980 I didn't even know where she was.
00:07:17.260 I couldn't see her.
00:07:17.960 And there's moments where he's really quiet.
00:07:20.500 Yeah.
00:07:20.920 No, well, he was there for, like, three minutes.
00:07:23.040 We took the shot.
00:07:23.800 I was, like, this guy's birthday.
00:07:24.940 Everybody's, like, sick.
00:07:26.400 And then we talked about...
00:07:27.600 And it was just loud, and we just sat there and just walked. 0.99
00:07:30.100 He was probably, like, this guy sucks to be around. 0.76
00:07:33.000 He was thinking about you. 0.98
00:07:35.020 I don't know.
00:07:35.600 Well, he was...
00:07:37.620 I could tell he was upset when he came.
00:07:40.060 I don't know.
00:07:40.740 Well, because it's his birthday, and he was...
00:07:43.320 I guess his girlfriend built up this whole thing.
00:07:45.120 We're going to be backstage with Ben Benkis.
00:07:47.860 Oh, and he was not backstage at all?
00:07:49.700 No.
00:07:50.380 They don't understand, like...
00:07:52.180 Even if you do come backstage, like, what do you think is going to happen?
00:07:55.680 There's also, like, 1,300 people.
00:07:57.940 Yeah.
00:07:58.540 But, like, also, yeah, you could come backstage for five minutes or whatever.
00:08:02.760 I'm sorry.
00:08:03.660 Before the show or after the show?
00:08:05.540 What was that? 1.00
00:08:06.580 Fucking push the fucking Siri button. 1.00
00:08:09.560 But he wanted to come before the show or after the show backstage? 1.00
00:08:12.520 I have no fucking idea. 0.91
00:08:13.740 There was two shows. 0.99
00:08:14.660 I didn't even know.
00:08:15.260 I think they came to the early one.
00:08:16.740 They went...
00:08:17.080 I'm just like...
00:08:17.740 Because both are back.
00:08:18.420 Just go to the after party.
00:08:19.440 That's what it's for.
00:08:20.020 That's what it's for.
00:08:20.860 Yeah.
00:08:21.080 You were not...
00:08:21.820 This isn't Make-A-Wish.
00:08:23.420 Yeah.
00:08:24.000 Where you just get this...
00:08:25.260 I don't know.
00:08:25.880 I don't know.
00:08:26.240 I mean, I appreciate you coming, but it's...
00:08:28.100 But it's, you know...
00:08:29.040 But it's cool.
00:08:30.260 It's still cool.
00:08:31.020 It's still cool.
00:08:31.820 It's good intentions, but it's just placed a little wrong.
00:08:35.520 It's...
00:08:35.960 Well, it's every...
00:08:36.740 Like, if you told us that 10 years ago when we're, like, doing an open mic, like, one
00:08:42.920 day this is going to happen, we'd be like, that's sick.
00:08:45.000 But then when it's happening, you...
00:08:46.600 But everything, when it happens, you kind of have to be, you know, act like it's not
00:08:50.480 your first...
00:08:52.040 First time.
00:08:52.840 First, you know, you've been here before type show.
00:08:54.760 Bro, that's literally...
00:08:55.780 I feel like at a certain point in comedy, like...
00:08:59.700 Actually, no, you could say, like, in the beginning, too, like, that's all comedy is
00:09:02.620 just acting like you've been there before.
00:09:04.500 Yeah.
00:09:04.860 Just playing it cool.
00:09:06.040 Sometimes it's sad to do that, though, when it's...
00:09:08.520 Really?
00:09:08.960 Oh, I've been to this mic before.
00:09:10.600 I know what this is.
00:09:11.880 But, you know, like, those guys are just like, oh, yeah, it's my room pretty much.
00:09:15.360 I go up when I want.
00:09:18.760 But, yeah, you kind of...
00:09:19.820 You have to act like you...
00:09:20.720 But you can't, like...
00:09:22.320 Like, when you meet someone that's, like, really cool, maybe, like, a famous UFC fighter, 0.97
00:09:26.940 so you can't be like, yo, I'm your biggest fucking fan, dude, holy shit, I just... 0.97
00:09:29.560 You gotta be like, oh, what's up, bro? 1.00
00:09:31.520 Yeah.
00:09:31.920 You good?
00:09:32.800 Yeah.
00:09:33.200 Yeah.
00:09:34.200 There was...
00:09:34.660 Were you there with the world's strongest man or whatever?
00:09:36.940 Yeah, Brian Shaw?
00:09:37.780 We all kind of just...
00:09:39.560 That was impossible to not...
00:09:41.660 Well, yeah, that's the world's strongest man.
00:09:46.040 Seven feet tall.
00:09:47.160 He's literally seven feet tall.
00:09:48.760 It's crazy. 1.00
00:09:49.200 That's the other thing is, like, damn, like... 0.99
00:09:51.460 He's also really nice and was, like... 0.99
00:09:53.540 Super humble.
00:09:54.420 You know, I was in there with Antonio Brown, or I was in Mitzi's with Antonio Brown, and
00:10:00.340 I didn't even make eye contact.
00:10:03.680 I mean, I don't know.
00:10:04.700 Really?
00:10:05.540 Well, he's nice, but...
00:10:08.620 I don't know.
00:10:09.320 He's wearing a helmet.
00:10:10.560 He's wearing an army helmet.
00:10:12.200 I don't know much about him.
00:10:14.080 He probably smoked, like...
00:10:16.060 Yeah, he was smoking blunts the whole time on stage during, like, on Kill Tony.
00:10:20.220 Kill Tony?
00:10:20.340 Yeah. 0.96
00:10:21.740 Huh.
00:10:22.300 He's a football player.
00:10:23.600 He was successful, and I think he had CTE.
00:10:26.180 But there was some type of controversy, I know.
00:10:28.320 Recently?
00:10:29.080 No, I'm saying that's why...
00:10:29.880 Yeah, he's had a few.
00:10:30.960 Why he's making a lot of money.
00:10:31.280 It was kind of funny. 0.99
00:10:32.320 He did Kill Tony and then just started doing controversial shit. 0.93
00:10:35.000 Right after, the episode's, like, not even aired yet. 0.99
00:10:37.980 No, I think it did.
00:10:38.680 It did air, but...
00:10:39.580 But Brian Shaw, it's like...
00:10:42.060 You know what I was thinking about?
00:10:43.000 Because everyone is just commenting on his body, and I said to him after, I was like,
00:10:48.660 does that ever get, like, old?
00:10:50.560 Like, anywhere you go, maybe even, like, a dinner party.
00:10:53.840 Definitely.
00:10:54.300 If you go to get seconds, people are like, oh, you know, Brian wants seconds.
00:10:58.280 You gotta keep...
00:10:59.100 You know?
00:10:59.600 And he's like, yeah, it does.
00:11:02.160 He's like, everything just becomes about my size wherever I go.
00:11:05.700 You know what I mean?
00:11:06.320 That must get... 1.00
00:11:06.780 Shut up, bro. 1.00

00:11:22.860 Like, nobody...
00:11:23.540 Like, I love when people...
00:11:24.760 Like, you ever show up somewhere, and then people find out you're a comedian, and you're
00:11:27.340 like, hey, you're a comedian?
00:11:28.520 Not very funny.
00:11:29.560 Like, they don't even know you, but they just say that, and you're like...
00:11:33.360 It's like...
00:11:33.940 Girls do that line. 1.00
00:11:34.720 It's like the opposite of every other, like, famous person's...
00:11:39.640 Well, not famous, but, like, somebody who's, like, trying to do something on social media.
00:11:44.520 You know what I mean?
00:11:45.000 Like, I don't know.
00:11:46.880 Most people are like, that's amazing.
00:11:48.340 But, like, with comedy, people are like, funny?
00:11:50.900 Yeah, you?
00:11:51.780 Yeah.
00:11:52.100 Like, it's crazy.

00:11:55.280 I know what you mean, yeah.
00:11:56.400 I love that vibe.
00:11:57.340 You think you got what it takes?
00:11:59.220 It's kind of like...
00:11:59.980 It's kind of like fighting videos. 1.00
00:12:01.900 They're like, man, I'd fuck him up. 0.99
00:12:03.780 But it's like... 1.00
00:12:04.620 Yeah, they...
00:12:05.940 Those are the guys who are...
00:12:06.900 You can't fight. 1.00
00:12:07.300 Those guys will be your best fans for life, because then they'll, like, follow your shit, 0.99
00:12:10.880 and, like, two weeks later, they'll message you and be like, bro, this is pretty good. 0.99
00:12:14.280 Yeah, and they'll even tell you, like, straight up, they'll be like,
00:12:16.460 at first, I thought you were, like, kind of corny.
00:12:18.220 I'll be honest with you.
00:12:19.080 But then I was like, nah, you're kind of funny, though.
00:12:21.120 You're kind of funny, though.
00:12:22.620 Yeah.
00:12:23.720 Yeah, comics are very in their head about, like, what they're doing, and we're very, like,
00:12:27.300 like, I'm trying to be an artist.
00:12:29.280 And then it's like, where are you this week?
00:12:31.400 It's like...
00:12:32.040 I'm at the Funny Bone in Albany, New York.
00:12:35.700 And the people going there...
00:12:37.060 I mean, yeah, you're fans.
00:12:38.260 And then there's other people.
00:12:40.260 I mean, I don't know.
00:12:41.260 Everybody's fans are just regular people.
00:12:43.620 Yeah.
00:12:44.040 You know what I'm saying? 1.00
00:12:44.700 We're not performing for, like, fucking aristocrats. 1.00
00:12:48.160 No, no. 0.99
00:12:49.320 It's not a bunch of, like, teachers.
00:12:51.420 In Canada, it's...
00:12:53.060 Like, my crowd is kind of a little bit...
00:12:55.440 Like, there's some, like, not famous, but, like, people who are, like, high up in random
00:13:00.200 things.
00:13:00.900 Something, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:01.800 And they just, like, real estate.
00:13:03.060 In their world, yeah.
00:13:03.920 They're, like, doing well. 1.00
00:13:05.040 And they're just, like, into my shit. 0.99
00:13:07.040 I guess it is, like, some of my shit is kind of, like, rich guy comedy a little bit, where 0.99
00:13:10.540 it's, like, you can't really laugh at this unless you have your life together. 0.97
00:13:13.840 You're, like...
00:13:14.260 For them, you're, like, comedy cocaine.
00:13:16.520 Yeah.
00:13:17.320 Whereas, like, if I did that joke for, like, a really poor person who, like, lived in, like, 1.00
00:13:20.420 Section 8 housing, they'd be, like, yo, that shit ain't funny, motherfucker. 1.00
00:13:24.180 You know what I mean? 1.00
00:13:24.740 Yeah, right.
00:13:26.280 Yeah.
00:13:26.600 It has to be, like, an understanding that, like...
00:13:29.520 I don't know.
00:13:31.020 No, I don't know.
00:13:31.400 You make comedy for the elite, and I'm just kidding.
00:13:34.260 Yeah.
00:13:34.520 That's what you're saying.
00:13:35.080 But that's what we all think in our head.
00:13:37.820 But then we actually go out, and it's some guy being, like, bro, that was corny, but,
00:13:41.780 like, then it got, like, funny for a second.
00:13:43.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:44.560 So, like...
00:13:45.680 Or they ask you, like, how do I get started? 0.99
00:13:49.140 That's the worst when somebody, like, they're, like, I'm your biggest fan of all this shit, 1.00
00:13:53.740 and then you think they're, like, so sick. 1.00
00:13:55.700 Like, as a fan, you're, like, this guy's, like, this is sick.
00:13:58.460 This is a good fan.
00:13:59.200 And then he's, like, yeah, I do stand-up. 1.00
00:14:00.600 You're, like, fuck. 1.00
00:14:01.520 Yeah, you're, like, damn. 1.00
00:14:02.400 But the only reason you like me is because you see that I'm doing well, so you're, like, 0.99
00:14:09.380 I'm a fan of that.
00:14:10.420 Like, we've all been there.
00:14:11.520 Yeah, yeah. 1.00
00:14:12.420 It's like you're hooking up with a girl, and you find out she has a dick. 1.00
00:14:16.660 Yeah. 1.00
00:14:17.160 Wait, why is it?
00:14:17.860 Is it like that?
00:14:18.600 When you find out, like, they're also a comic.
00:14:20.560 Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:14:21.240 I forgot what we were talking about for a second.
00:14:24.860 I was, like, wait.
00:14:26.380 We're expanding ice.
00:14:29.540 We're no longer looking for MS-13 members.
00:14:32.100 We're looking for Canadians who might have taken a hit of a vape. 0.73
00:14:36.340 I wonder if they would.
00:14:37.720 Yeah, that's funny.
00:14:40.080 No, but we started talking about, like, the people from, like, high school.
00:14:43.440 I had a few people from university.
00:14:45.660 Did you go to college at all?
00:14:47.240 No, I didn't go to college.
00:14:48.180 I'm, like, the most un-Asian Asian you'll ever meet.
00:14:50.360 Like, that's, yeah.
00:14:51.860 Like, I never went to college.
00:14:53.260 I got arrested in high school.
00:14:55.000 I went to summer school, like, half the time.
00:14:57.420 I didn't walk with my class.
00:15:00.720 You know what I mean?
00:15:01.880 Just a normal.
00:15:03.040 You assimilated.
00:15:06.440 I was going to, like, AA at, like, 18.
00:15:08.480 Went to AA?
00:15:09.440 Yeah.
00:15:09.940 Wait, why?
00:15:10.940 Because, like, I didn't, after high school, like I said, I didn't go to college.
00:15:14.220 So, like, I took a year.
00:15:16.900 I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I wasn't doing anything.
00:15:18.520 Should I go to Harvard or should I go to alcoholics?
00:15:21.260 I couldn't even get it.
00:15:22.240 I couldn't get it in any college.
00:15:24.240 So, I was just drinking by myself all the time.
00:15:26.780 And then my friend was talking about AA meetings.
00:15:29.880 And then I went.
00:15:30.700 And then on the back of, like, the pamphlet, there's, like, a 20-question thing.
00:15:36.540 Like, and if you get more than, like, three or four yeses to the questions, they're like, you're an alcoholic.
00:15:40.420 Mm-hmm.
00:15:41.800 So, you know, the questions would be, like, have you ever regretted drinking the night before?
00:15:45.660 And I'd be like, you know, they kind of, like, bait you.
00:15:47.240 I mean, they want you there.
00:15:48.420 That's what I'm saying.
00:15:49.740 Yeah.
00:15:50.020 So, you did it, though?
00:15:51.040 I did it.
00:15:51.820 And then I just realized I was, like, I kind of knew I didn't have a problem just from hearing people share their stories.
00:15:58.260 I was like, oh, I cannot relate to this at all. 0.99
00:16:00.700 You know, they're talking about how they crashed their car and their fucking kid fucking got, you know, blasted out the window and they died. 1.00
00:16:09.200 You know, like, shit like that. 1.00
00:16:10.700 And you're like, yo, like, I skipped a couple classes. 0.99
00:16:13.340 You know what I mean?
00:16:15.480 I didn't go to science class, doggy.
00:16:18.100 Yo, you ever been late to study, Hall?
00:16:20.060 I mean, I've had friends that have done AA and it definitely ruined their life.
00:16:26.460 Oh, yeah.
00:16:27.160 I mean, it just made them into this person where, I mean,
00:16:30.100 and obviously it works for some people.
00:16:32.200 You ever watch The Sopranos?
00:16:33.000 Were you sober for, like, a while after that or no?
00:16:35.700 Well, I just wasn't drinking.
00:16:37.260 Do you ever watch The Sopranos?
00:16:38.660 I haven't watched it, but I do like it.
00:16:41.260 Well, this next story is not going to mean anything then. 1.00
00:16:43.820 But, well, he's been in a bunch of shit. 0.99
00:16:45.500 But there was this guy. 1.00
00:16:46.580 He's kind of like a well-known actor.
00:16:47.900 He was, like, my sponsor.
00:16:49.520 Oh.
00:16:50.140 And that kind of, like, helped me, like, keep doing it.
00:16:55.260 Yeah.
00:16:55.680 Because I just wanted to hang out with him.
00:16:57.360 Mm-hmm.
00:16:58.220 And, yeah.
00:17:01.060 That's sick.
00:17:02.080 So, like. 0.86
00:17:02.780 So you were faking it.
00:17:03.840 I was, like, kind of faking it. 1.00
00:17:05.220 You'd just show up and be like, bro, sober as fuck. 0.99
00:17:08.260 No, I would. 1.00
00:17:09.160 Just being drinking.
00:17:11.020 The thing is, I wasn't drinking.
00:17:13.160 But, like, I would just, I just, you know, I just really.
00:17:16.040 You just got a free mentor in the showbiz, kind of.
00:17:18.560 That's what I'm saying.
00:17:19.360 That's how I looked at it.
00:17:20.320 Yeah.
00:17:20.900 And then, like, I think he was, like, catching on, though.
00:17:25.760 You're, like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:26.880 The alcohol.
00:17:27.480 Anyway, so, like, when did you do your first movie?
00:17:28.980 No, that's literally what it was, dude.
00:17:30.640 One time I was, like, I was, like.
00:17:32.340 Because he was in Bad Boys 1 and 2.
00:17:34.380 And I was, like, is there going to be a Bad Boys 3? 0.98
00:17:36.180 And he's, like, enough with the fucking movie questions. 1.00
00:17:38.980 He's, like, I'm trying to save your fucking life. 1.00
00:17:41.220 And I was, like, I was, like, oh, shit. 1.00
00:17:45.740 Wow. 1.00
00:17:46.500 And that's when you started drinking again.
00:17:49.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00
00:17:49.880 You're, like, fuck it. 1.00
00:17:50.800 Yeah. 1.00
00:17:51.240 But he caught, I think he was, like, catching on one time.
00:17:53.500 Because, like, he was, like, Andre, you should go to acting school in Manhattan.
00:17:56.980 And I was, like, really?
00:17:58.200 Why? 1.00
00:17:58.480 And he's, like, because you're a really good liar. 0.99
00:18:00.760 And I was, like. 0.99
00:18:01.600 Jesus. 1.00
00:18:02.180 I was, like, oh, fuck. 1.00
00:18:03.000 I was, like. 1.00
00:18:03.760 That's crazy.
00:18:04.460 I was, like, 18.
00:18:06.420 Wow.
00:18:06.840 But when you're an 18-year-old kid.
00:18:07.860 Because you lied to him about drinking?
00:18:09.920 About, I think.
00:18:10.480 He didn't have a problem.
00:18:11.960 So you just were, like, one day.
00:18:13.340 You fessed up to him that you didn't have a problem?
00:18:15.060 Or you just realized you didn't?
00:18:16.080 No, I think maybe he could tell by the way I would.
00:18:19.220 I was.
00:18:19.980 Like, bro, my life's actually not that bad.
00:18:21.820 Yeah.
00:18:22.660 I'm going to go play video games after this and hang out with my parents.
00:18:25.660 That's literally what it was.
00:18:26.840 Yeah.
00:18:27.500 But when you're 18 and all your friends went to college, you got nothing to do.
00:18:30.980 And then you're in this weird world and people are introduced.
00:18:33.300 And then I was just, like, I got nothing better to do.
00:18:37.280 Did you hang out with your parents at all?
00:18:39.620 I don't.
00:18:40.260 I was just getting high and. 0.99
00:18:44.040 Damn. 0.99
00:18:44.600 Yeah. 0.99
00:18:44.880 I mean, that's the same thing that people do at college. 1.00
00:18:48.000 Like, they just fuck around. 1.00
00:18:49.640 Like, I fucked around. 1.00
00:18:50.940 I just drank. 0.99
00:18:51.840 Yeah. 1.00
00:18:52.040 Because you're just a shithead kid. 1.00
00:18:54.140 We had a lot of fun, though. 1.00
00:18:55.360 You know what I mean?
00:18:56.460 It was.
00:18:57.020 It was very fun.
00:18:57.980 Drinking's getting.
00:18:58.440 And it wasn't.
00:18:59.020 It was.
00:18:59.280 It was pretty innocent.
00:19:00.480 Like, it was pretty.
00:19:02.200 Like, there were some kids who were doing, like, hard drugs and stuff.
00:19:04.620 But, like, not really.
00:19:05.940 Like, most of the kids just drank.
00:19:08.780 Yeah.
00:19:09.160 Can I tell you that?
00:19:09.800 Drinking's, like, not fun, though.
00:19:11.220 How old are you?
00:19:13.660 30.
00:19:14.600 Yeah.
00:19:14.960 I mean, it's still fun.
00:19:17.480 It's just. 0.97
00:19:17.900 It depends who you're with and what you're trying to fucking do. 0.98
00:19:20.740 You know what I mean? 0.99
00:19:21.460 It's.
00:19:21.940 Yeah.
00:19:22.320 Like, I could do a show and I want to have a drink at the show and I'll have a drink at
00:19:26.520 the show.
00:19:27.400 And then after the show, I'm like, I don't want to keep drinking.
00:19:29.960 Right.
00:19:30.380 You know what I'm saying?
00:19:31.000 Right.
00:19:31.680 Like, I don't.
00:19:32.780 I can just go back to the hotel room after, like, two or three drinks and be like, that's
00:19:37.220 it.
00:19:37.460 Like, I'm not like, I need to get to the next spot.
00:19:40.140 We need to figure out.
00:19:41.680 Like, for me, the drinking.
00:19:43.040 The fun part is I'm at my show.
00:19:45.620 After that.
00:19:46.400 Yeah.
00:19:46.620 Then you're chasing it.
00:19:48.060 You know what I'm saying?
00:19:49.240 Yeah. 0.99
00:19:50.140 That's why fucking Dave Chappelle and those guys, they'll do a weekend and they don't leave 0.99
00:19:54.540 the green room. 1.00
00:19:55.520 They just party.
00:19:56.140 They don't leave the green room.
00:19:57.460 They just they need a room.
00:19:59.520 Can I smoke?
00:20:00.320 I don't even ask for permission.
00:20:02.380 They just start smoking in it.
00:20:04.160 They start smoking weed.
00:20:05.500 They start drinking.
00:20:06.320 And that's like the punchline Houston.
00:20:08.500 I did it.
00:20:09.500 And I guess it had just opened maybe within that year.
00:20:13.680 And Dave Chappelle was the first weekend they basically opened.
00:20:17.220 And he was like, yeah, I want to come and do the weekend.
00:20:19.640 I'll sell it out for you.
00:20:20.580 And I just want to be able to hang out and like sold it out and just hung out there till 5
00:20:25.580 a.m.
00:20:27.080 You know, just like hanging.
00:20:28.980 Do you think they're just like chasing the high from the show?
00:20:31.420 They just want it to last as long as possible.
00:20:33.840 I think just the older you get as a stand up, like you start not wanting to.
00:20:40.160 I mean, it's the reason that everybody wants to hang out at Mitzi's for so long.
00:20:43.220 And then it's like people are like, like we could have went for Hans Kim.
00:20:46.620 We all should have went to his birthday party.
00:20:48.280 I don't know.
00:20:49.420 Apparently it was really fun.
00:20:50.520 I went.
00:20:51.300 Did you go?
00:20:52.640 Yeah.
00:20:53.540 Yeah, we went.
00:20:54.340 I'm just kidding.
00:20:55.040 Uh, no, but people are like, that's what they ask you at the border.
00:20:59.840 Did you go to Hans Kim?
00:21:00.820 Yeah.
00:21:05.740 We went to the creek.
00:21:06.900 Like people are comics just want to be like, let's go hang at the creek.
00:21:09.940 Let's go hang at the thing.
00:21:11.300 Let's go.
00:21:11.840 Is it loneliness?
00:21:13.120 What is that?
00:21:13.820 Like, are we lonely?
00:21:15.120 What is that?
00:21:16.240 It's sad.
00:21:17.240 It's sad.
00:21:17.820 Yeah, it's definitely not good.
00:21:19.820 I mean, or, but also, I mean, at the upper echelons, it's fame that would keep you from
00:21:26.340 not wanting to go to big public places and be like, let's try to have fun.
00:21:29.840 Like, it's fun sometimes if you're in the mood to be like, I'm going to get like, if
00:21:34.240 you're Dave Chappelle level fame, you're going to have, you're like high on your own.
00:21:38.600 I'd rather just be in a room with people, you know, having, that's the best time with
00:21:42.220 the security guards at the doors and you're smoking.
00:21:44.900 It's kind of like siphoning your own fame doing that.
00:21:48.800 Like dipping your toe and being like, let's see how many people. 1.00
00:21:52.060 In your own shit, just literally. 0.99
00:21:54.200 I mean, it's going to happen no matter what, because you're going to have to be in certain 1.00
00:21:58.600 places, but I don't think, like, I think most people don't seek it out.
00:22:02.240 That's what I mean.
00:22:02.780 Yeah.
00:22:02.980 Or even the ones that did like, what's her name?
00:22:06.080 Like Hilton, the Hilton chick, the Paris Hilton, like her whole thing was, I'm like, she
00:22:12.500 was making money off being famous.
00:22:13.800 So it's like, go to this club, go to this nightclub, go here.
00:22:18.100 That's what it was.
00:22:19.300 But that's different, I guess, because she's getting paid for it. 0.99
00:22:21.840 But no, it's, it's, it's not as fun to drink and go do a bunch of stuff, but it's fun to
00:22:29.500 drink in one spot until you don't want to anymore.
00:22:31.960 And then go home and go to sleep.
00:22:34.060 I remember, I remember one time when I was like a year and a half in and, uh, you know,
00:22:37.640 Steve Byrne, he's a comic headline.
00:22:40.880 He's like New York.
00:22:42.160 He's like kind of willing, but he asked me to do a guest spot at Gotham when I was like
00:22:45.440 a year and a half in, just because he saw I was Asian.
00:22:47.900 I was like hanging out at the cell and he's like, you want to do a guest spot for me at
00:22:50.220 Gotham tomorrow?
00:22:50.660 It's like Saturday night show.
00:22:51.740 I was like, yeah.
00:22:53.200 I was like so nervous.
00:22:54.180 I was a year and a half in.
00:22:55.060 Is he Asian?
00:22:55.980 He's like half Korean.
00:22:57.200 Oh, I know who you're talking about.
00:22:58.400 Isn't he, is he Canadian?
00:23:00.000 No, no, he's from Pittsburgh.
00:23:01.140 Steve Byrne?
00:23:01.560 Yeah.
00:23:01.820 He wears a tux, right?
00:23:03.020 Yeah.
00:23:03.400 Yeah.
00:23:03.660 He's from Pittsburgh.
00:23:04.840 But, uh, so I go there and, uh, they're like Seinfeld's popping in.
00:23:09.920 So you can't go on.
00:23:10.840 And I was kind of like, thank God.
00:23:12.540 Cause I'm a year and a half in.
00:23:14.080 Right. 1.00
00:23:14.440 And I suck. 0.99
00:23:15.740 And this is a sold out stat. 0.99
00:23:17.320 I was like, I can't.
00:23:18.180 And then they're like, but if he, it was like, we'll let you know if he, if he just does
00:23:22.180 like a short time. 1.00
00:23:22.800 And I was like, fuck. 1.00
00:23:24.120 And then, um, he brought, and then there's a black dude that walks in and I'm hanging 1.00
00:23:28.700 in the back and it was like Chappelle. 0.99
00:23:30.740 And I was like, oh shit. 1.00
00:23:32.840 And I hear him talk. 1.00
00:23:33.700 I love how you didn't just say Chappelle walks in.
00:23:35.760 And you're like, no, cause at first I didn't know he had like a hood on.
00:23:38.760 So I just thought it was just some black dude.
00:23:40.380 Wow.
00:23:40.720 And then I saw like the white in his eyes and I was like, that looked like, and then I
00:23:45.120 see him talking to the owner in the back.
00:23:46.920 I'm the only one person that can like hear this.
00:23:48.840 The owner's like, how much time did you want to do?
00:23:51.380 This is like a headline show and they're just popping in.
00:23:54.040 It's not even how much time are you doing?
00:23:55.300 He's like, how much time did you?
00:23:56.520 And he's, I was like, I'm just going to do a little bit.
00:23:58.740 We, we're going to go ahead to the fights after this.
00:24:00.880 Triple G was fighting at the garden.
00:24:02.160 And, um, the owner was like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:24:07.300 Uh, yeah, it's cool.
00:24:08.120 And then Chappelle was like, can I smoke up there? 0.99
00:24:11.620 And the owner was like, man, health commission's going to be up my ass, dude. 0.99
00:24:17.280 And Chappelle was like, nah, all right. 0.99
00:24:19.740 Well, I just figured cause I'm never here, you know?
00:24:22.900 And there's like a moment of silence and the owner goes, you know what? 1.00
00:24:26.320 Fuck it. 1.00
00:24:26.660 Smoke a, smoke a whole pack up there. 1.00
00:24:28.000 I don't give a fuck. 0.99
00:24:29.100 And I was like, whoa. 1.00
00:24:30.660 I was like, yeah.
00:24:32.800 Just like a year and a half in watching that happen.
00:24:34.540 I was like, I could, I can't even get a free water bottle at the club.
00:24:37.820 You know what I mean?
00:24:38.980 That's incredible to see a year and a half in.
00:24:41.060 You know what I mean?
00:24:41.460 That's crazy.
00:24:41.940 The fact that Chappelle, like he, like, he kind of like power played him.
00:24:44.180 He's like, no, I just figured cause I'm never here, you know?
00:24:46.760 And he just kind of stared at him.
00:24:49.260 Yeah.
00:24:49.580 I think the, that's crazy, right?
00:24:51.780 It's nice when you go to a club and they go, you can smoke.
00:24:55.040 And when other clubs, honestly, when the bigger comics do it and nothing bad happens, the clubs 0.99
00:25:00.240 kind of go, I guess everybody can kind of do this cause who gives a shit? 0.99
00:25:04.600 Right. 0.99
00:25:04.760 What does it matter?
00:25:05.380 It's like, what's the worst case scenario?
00:25:08.100 You know what I mean?
00:25:08.700 We're in, I get it.
00:25:11.300 I guess New York is probably the worst place to do it.
00:25:14.260 Is it so small?
00:25:14.860 Just cause it's like tight and not really, but even like the stand, you know, I mean, it's
00:25:21.160 also the kitchen.
00:25:22.380 He smokes there too.
00:25:23.460 But I want to smoke there.
00:25:25.880 Dude, have you ever smoked on stage?
00:25:29.180 Yes.
00:25:30.360 Not indoor.
00:25:32.540 It's gotta be indoors for it to count.
00:25:34.900 Yeah.
00:25:35.280 Outdoors doesn't count.
00:25:36.060 I think I have, but I forget what the circumstance was.
00:25:39.120 Dude, I feel like you smoking a cigarette on stage, that would be so badass.
00:25:42.360 Cause you're like a true smoker.
00:25:44.500 It would be.
00:25:45.500 You know what I mean?
00:25:46.160 You must still have the style for it.
00:25:47.240 During COVID.
00:25:49.600 That's where we're outside, but.
00:25:51.900 Yeah.
00:25:53.460 Every show was outside. 0.98
00:25:54.580 So we just fucking smoked the whole time. 0.93
00:25:56.280 How did you feel when you were like doing it and doing your jokes? 0.95
00:25:59.040 Like, did you feel like it helped you a little bit?
00:26:00.700 It felt great.
00:26:01.240 Yeah.
00:26:01.500 That's what I'm saying.
00:26:02.280 I feel like it's so natural for you.
00:26:04.340 It felt just.
00:26:05.240 You felt better, right?
00:26:06.880 I mean, it's better.
00:26:08.020 I don't know if it's.
00:26:08.740 I kind of don't think about it, though, when I'm on stage.
00:26:12.340 You know what I mean?
00:26:12.860 Like, I'm sometimes I do, but I don't.
00:26:17.380 Okay.
00:26:17.460 But say we lived in a world where you were allowed to do it all the time.
00:26:22.500 And would you be doing it all the time then?
00:26:25.120 Like, if they were like.
00:26:25.680 Probably end up only having like two.
00:26:27.720 Well, I don't know, man.
00:26:29.340 Might become like a slippery slope.
00:26:32.440 So Bill Hicks smoked a lot on stage.
00:26:35.160 Did he really?
00:26:35.940 All the comedy clubs used to be just like the ultimate place where people smoked.
00:26:41.500 Like, you know what I mean? 0.99
00:26:42.740 Like in the 80s, early 80s, before they really implemented that shit. 0.99
00:26:45.740 Even at restaurants. 0.98
00:26:46.620 When I was a kid, people used to just light up.
00:26:48.640 Yeah.
00:26:48.920 But during comedy, they'd be drinking, smoking.
00:26:51.660 And they're all.
00:26:52.080 But they're all facing you.
00:26:53.360 So you're getting everybody's smoke, which was.
00:26:56.120 I think that's why so many comics.
00:26:57.860 Even in the crowd.
00:26:59.080 Yeah.
00:26:59.320 It's like 300 people smoking, blowing it in your face.
00:27:02.920 It's like those old.
00:27:03.600 Yeah.
00:27:03.920 It's like a Vegas show.
00:27:06.100 It's kind of sick.
00:27:06.440 Yeah.
00:27:06.620 It is pretty sick.
00:27:07.640 Yeah.
00:27:07.740 I feel like that's the thing.
00:27:08.580 If it was allowed, I feel like so many more people would be doing that. 0.98
00:27:12.940 I feel like if that shit was like COVID never would have happened if everybody was just 0.99
00:27:16.720 smoking indoors, bro. 1.00
00:27:18.740 Right. 1.00
00:27:18.960 I feel like that shit kind of kills it. 1.00
00:27:20.760 Like. 1.00
00:27:21.480 Just kills the joke.
00:27:22.060 That's why they're just like, we want you to be healthy as possible so you can get sick.
00:27:26.220 Yeah.
00:27:26.680 Yeah.
00:27:26.880 Yeah.
00:27:27.360 I don't know.
00:27:28.120 But it is nice.
00:27:30.140 You do feel good in a comedy club when they go, just do whatever you want.
00:27:34.340 Oh, yeah.
00:27:35.820 Do whatever you want.
00:27:36.760 You ever smoke weed on stage?
00:27:38.940 That.
00:27:39.660 I don't think I would like that.
00:27:41.220 I think that would be good.
00:27:41.660 I've never smoked weed in my entire life.
00:27:43.560 Oh, yeah. 0.99
00:27:44.020 I keep fucking. 1.00
00:27:45.340 Sucks. 1.00
00:27:46.580 Keep. 1.00
00:27:46.960 I have to get like. 0.99
00:27:48.240 I have to be like a fucking green card holder, like citizen to like have that not matter. 0.98
00:27:53.240 It's so weird. 0.99
00:27:53.900 I mean, it's so obviously probably wouldn't happen.
00:27:56.360 But I have.
00:27:57.760 How close are you to the green card?
00:28:01.280 Like I could probably get it this time around or I'll have to wait three years.
00:28:07.540 So either I'll get it like in the next.
00:28:10.060 I'll start it soon or start in two years.
00:28:15.100 That's so weird.
00:28:15.940 Is your wife American?
00:28:17.280 No.
00:28:17.840 No?
00:28:18.320 No.
00:28:18.540 You guys are both in the same ship, literally.
00:28:23.660 She's from Canada? 0.99
00:28:24.740 Mm-hmm.
00:28:25.400 Both.
00:28:26.040 All right.
00:28:27.880 Didn't know I was in a house full of commies. 0.82
00:28:30.600 Yeah.
00:28:31.260 Didn't know I came to enemy territory.
00:28:33.960 Only my son's American. 0.94
00:28:37.140 I didn't know I came to a diplomatic building.
00:28:40.400 For real.
00:28:43.680 Jesus.
00:28:44.420 Okay.
00:28:45.120 Yeah.
00:28:45.460 It's like the UN building in here.
00:28:47.000 Yeah.
00:28:47.340 It's a whole situation.
00:28:50.080 But it's good.
00:28:50.920 It's a situation.
00:28:52.620 Yeah.
00:28:54.800 My buddy says that I'm a lot like the...
00:28:57.000 Tony Soprano?
00:28:57.600 Yeah.
00:28:58.000 Yeah.
00:28:58.200 You have like Tony Soprano like mannerisms.
00:29:00.740 We're going to be deported, son.
00:29:06.200 Yeah.
00:29:06.960 No, not at all.
00:29:08.200 But I did have...
00:29:09.000 This is funny, but...
00:29:10.140 So my...
00:29:11.560 Like the visa that I'm on right now,
00:29:14.140 the lawyer that was working on it for me,
00:29:18.140 after Trump won, she like went nuts.
00:29:21.240 And she like sent out an email to everybody that...
00:29:24.000 Like I don't know if you're safe in the country
00:29:25.740 like with your visas and like some...
00:29:28.020 And like it was obvious that she was having
00:29:29.360 like a mental breakdown.
00:29:30.220 Yeah, yeah.
00:29:30.820 And then...
00:29:31.320 She's just reacting.
00:29:32.440 Yeah.
00:29:32.900 So then I was trying to do the green card with her
00:29:35.240 or maybe just renew my thing,
00:29:36.760 which I didn't have to do yet
00:29:38.380 because it was only a year in to a three-year thing.
00:29:41.560 But she's like,
00:29:43.340 I'm sorry, but I can't help you with your green card
00:29:46.220 and I won't help you with your renewal either.

00:30:03.440 and this...
00:30:05.000 It was right after like the...
00:30:06.200 She literally brought up the Puerto Rico joke. 1.00
00:30:10.920 Oh, really?

00:30:16.820 So I have...
00:30:17.660 Like I have other lawyer now,
00:30:19.500 but it's just like hilarious that...
00:30:21.580 That's so crazy though
00:30:22.580 that you need a green card
00:30:24.020 to live here in Afghanistan.
00:30:26.400 Yeah.
00:30:27.680 Here and Afghanistan? 0.85

00:30:42.200 It's crazy.
00:30:44.060 But they love it.
00:30:45.140 Yeah.
00:30:45.380 It's like, what are you,
00:30:46.320 cutting weight?
00:30:48.500 That's where they invented it, 0.99

00:30:51.440 What are you, 0.98
00:30:51.800 fighting at featherweight in the UFC?
00:30:53.680 They invented it 1.00
00:30:54.440 in the fucking desert, 1.00
00:30:56.280 so it kind of makes sense. 0.99
00:30:59.120 But, yeah, it's...
00:31:02.440 Have you read any of these books?
00:31:03.840 What is this?
00:31:05.520 The Koran.
00:31:07.920 The concise laws of human...
00:31:09.680 Somebody just posted this
00:31:10.980 in their story last night.
00:31:12.660 Isn't this just the 48 Laws of Power?
00:31:15.320 Yeah.
00:31:15.940 Let me see it.
00:31:16.600 It says the 48 Laws of Power.

00:31:22.940 No, it's from the guy who wrote it.
00:31:24.820 It's a different book.
00:31:25.600 47 Laws of Simping.
00:31:27.840 Robert Greene.
00:31:29.000 But it's the same guy...
00:31:30.040 But it says...
00:31:30.580 Oh, okay.
00:31:31.000 I see.
00:31:31.240 I see.
00:31:32.380 He's a lot of...
00:31:33.340 Yeah.

00:31:35.220 I got a collection of his books.
00:31:36.700 Do you really?
00:31:37.280 Yeah.
00:31:37.420 He's a really good writer,
00:31:38.100 but he has a book called
00:31:38.880 The Art of Seduction.
00:31:40.020 Do you have that one?
00:31:40.900 I think it's right there.
00:31:42.260 Oh, really?
00:31:42.900 But I haven't read it yet.
00:31:43.700 But then...

00:31:46.180 Yeah, but then you look at a picture of him
00:31:47.620 and you're like,
00:31:48.000 who are you seducing? 1.00
00:31:49.240 Is it about...

00:31:52.340 Have you read it?
00:31:53.360 No, but I've heard him talk about it
00:31:54.820 like in interviews

00:32:50.060 Most of the time,
00:32:50.660 people struggle to maintain security
00:32:52.100 and sense of balance in their lives.
00:32:53.780 Oh, I thought it was drugging people. 1.00

00:33:32.440 This guy just started devolving
00:33:38.080 into reading the books
00:33:39.020 after we talked about green cards.
00:33:41.180 Yeah.
00:33:41.660 He's like,
00:33:41.880 what do we got over here?
00:33:42.840 Yeah.
00:33:44.400 Jesus Christ.
00:33:46.960 No, but it had to...
00:33:48.120 You know,
00:33:48.420 it had to do with the thing.
00:33:51.040 But...
00:33:51.440 Hans Kim's jealous
00:33:52.320 of our relationship.
00:33:53.480 Why?
00:33:54.260 I don't know.
00:33:55.000 Every time I was like...
00:33:57.220 He saw that I, like,
00:33:59.400 hadn't answered a text from you
00:34:00.700 and then he was like...

00:34:26.740 My first time in Austin,
00:34:28.000 he let me, like,
00:34:28.560 crash at his place and stuff
00:34:30.020 in his room.
00:34:31.380 That's pretty cool.
00:34:32.180 In his room?
00:34:32.980 While he's in there, yeah.

00:34:36.620 Yeah.
00:34:36.720 Like, not in a separate room?
00:34:38.500 No, no, no.
00:34:39.060 He was...
00:34:39.740 I was in his bed
00:34:41.380 and he was in his bed.
00:34:44.280 I'm just kidding. 0.99

00:35:25.220 Yeah. 1.00
00:35:25.620 That's what it is.
00:35:26.300 No, I think it's good
00:35:26.980 to not do that at all
00:35:28.900 because it's...
00:35:29.900 Because you know what it is?
00:35:30.840 You never know.
00:35:31.900 I read in a book...

00:35:34.000 Just start reading that book.
00:35:35.120 Maybe you'd learn a thing or two.
00:35:36.280 I know.
00:35:37.180 I read in a book
00:35:38.180 that when you talk about
00:35:39.440 anyone on a podcast,
00:35:40.460 like good or bad,
00:35:41.080 like they're gonna hear it.

00:35:50.160 hears it
00:35:50.640 and it starts becoming
00:35:51.380 a game of telephone.
00:35:53.160 Yeah.
00:35:54.240 You know what I mean?
00:35:54.600 And then they watch it
00:35:55.320 and it's just you being like,
00:35:56.680 super racist.
00:36:01.840 Yeah.
00:36:02.260 Yeah, I felt bad.

00:37:30.040 and she couldn't get
00:37:31.700 on the pool table

00:38:32.680 You ever get trouble
00:38:33.300 for like a podcast thing
00:38:34.760 where someone heard something
00:38:35.720 and they approach you?
00:38:37.280 They're like,

00:38:44.300 Well,
00:38:44.900 not that bad.
00:38:46.240 But I mean,
00:38:46.640 sometimes like,
00:38:47.300 I don't know,
00:38:47.700 you go through stages
00:38:49.280 of losing your mind
00:38:50.260 and then regaining it.
00:38:51.720 Yeah.
00:38:52.360 But you still got to put out
00:38:53.600 content when you've lost
00:38:54.640 your mind.
00:38:55.480 Yeah.
00:38:56.380 And then you just accuse
00:38:58.740 someone of something
00:38:59.780 and you're like,
00:39:00.760 why did I say that?
00:39:01.740 But then you're like,
00:39:02.280 yeah,
00:39:02.500 it was four episodes ago.
00:39:03.540 Who cares?
00:39:03.980 And then they find out
00:39:04.780 and you're like,
00:39:05.200 yeah,

00:39:11.420 these past couple of days.
00:39:12.840 Nobody is joking
00:39:14.240 about anything.
00:39:16.400 Everyone means
00:39:17.400 what they say
00:39:18.180 and they're just hiding
00:39:19.800 behind a comedy thing 1.00
00:39:21.240 like a pussy kind of. 1.00
00:39:22.540 I don't know 1.00
00:39:22.840 what you're talking about.

00:39:24.760 they'll tell you
00:39:25.320 how they really feel
00:39:26.200 and if it's like bombing,
00:39:27.180 they're like, 1.00

00:39:31.280 like,
00:39:31.480 but is that how
00:39:32.220 you really feel though?
00:39:32.900 They're like,

00:41:11.380 White comic?
00:41:12.320 Yeah.
00:41:15.580 Obviously.
00:41:16.740 If a black comic was tickling me, 0.98

00:41:20.340 taser.
00:41:21.160 Yeah.

00:41:28.280 you think they meant.
00:41:30.100 I don't even know.
00:41:32.940 You just,
00:41:33.740 you just threw it out there with no example.
00:41:35.820 Just no example.
00:41:36.880 Yeah.
00:41:37.160 You're afraid to say the example.
00:41:38.560 No,
00:41:38.760 I'm not.
00:41:39.140 I'm not.
00:41:39.440 I'm,
00:41:39.600 I'm,
00:41:39.940 I'm,
00:41:40.140 the new podcast world where you're afraid to say
00:41:42.600 anything about anything.
00:41:45.180 Why?
00:41:45.820 You're like,
00:41:46.300 why is everybody talking about politics? 1.00
00:41:50.680 Let's just talk shit. 1.00
00:41:53.820 Let's just ruin our careers every episode. 0.99
00:41:57.120 Hey,
00:41:57.560 you know,
00:41:57.740 this guy, 1.00
00:41:58.400 piece of shit. 1.00
00:41:59.880 You ever heard of this guy? 1.00
00:42:02.640 He's a fucking. 1.00
00:42:05.560 It's enough. 1.00
00:42:06.680 Yeah.
00:42:06.940 I mean,
00:42:07.380 people are pretty nice in this scene.
00:42:11.020 I think.
00:42:13.080 Yeah.
00:42:13.500 They're very,
00:42:14.000 even at the top,
00:42:14.800 man,
00:42:15.000 everybody's really nice.
00:42:16.620 Everyone's Toronto.
00:42:17.400 Our Toronto is not nice.
00:42:18.900 New York's probably not that nice.
00:42:21.380 New York's nice,
00:42:22.980 but you know what it is?
00:42:24.620 It's like,
00:42:25.680 you can only be friends with so many people.
00:42:28.360 You don't need to be friends with tons of people.
00:42:33.220 I don't think it's benefit.
00:42:34.340 I mean,
00:42:34.560 it's good to,
00:42:35.200 well,
00:42:35.380 it's good to collaborate.
00:42:37.460 It's good to know them and stuff.
00:42:39.360 And like,
00:42:39.900 you know,
00:42:40.220 but how many times are you like,
00:42:41.480 we're,
00:42:41.700 we're 30.
00:42:42.480 We're in our thirties.
00:42:43.280 How many times are you going to go?
00:42:44.120 I'm 33.
00:42:46.320 You said we're 30.
00:42:47.400 Well,
00:42:48.680 it's a,
00:42:49.080 you'll see in three years.
00:42:51.580 You're like,
00:42:51.900 I'm 30.
00:42:52.700 I'm 33,
00:42:53.400 but I'm 30.
00:42:54.140 It's literally what it is.
00:42:55.520 You're literally 30 till you're 35.
00:42:57.120 And then you're like, 1.00
00:42:57.960 fuck 40. 1.00
00:43:00.840 But it's, 1.00
00:43:02.060 when's your birthday?
00:43:03.240 February.
00:43:04.740 Nice.
00:43:06.380 Nice.
00:43:07.140 You?
00:43:08.720 August.
00:43:10.700 Can you do any,
00:43:11.580 can you do any impressions?
00:43:14.020 Um,
00:43:14.860 I feel like you can't do impressions.
00:43:15.920 Like of who?
00:43:17.100 Like a Chinese person. 1.00
00:43:20.720 If you're asking that,
00:43:22.020 then,
00:43:22.340 uh,
00:43:22.720 the answer is yes.
00:43:25.020 That did seem like a morning radio.
00:43:27.280 I can just do broad racial racist impressions.
00:43:30.340 I can't really do like specific people.
00:43:32.420 That did feel like a corny talk show where I'm like teeing you up.
00:43:35.220 Do you know any impressions?
00:43:38.220 All right.
00:43:38.660 Before we get out of here,
00:43:39.540 we're going to cut to a commercial.
00:43:44.300 Ben Bank is playing at the chuckle hut all weekend.
00:43:46.580 I heard you do impressions,
00:43:47.700 Ben.
00:43:47.900 Am I right?
00:43:48.340 Am I hearing that right?
00:43:49.580 Yeah.
00:43:49.840 You want to see?
00:43:54.140 It's my impression.
00:43:56.640 It's my impression of you.
00:43:58.500 That is me.
00:43:59.440 Yeah.
00:43:59.680 Just take a video of your standup and do a Chinese accent.
00:44:07.200 That would be really funny.
00:44:08.280 That would be.
00:44:09.160 Oh yeah.
00:44:09.660 You'd love that. 1.00
00:44:12.640 Fuck. 1.00
00:44:13.860 I don't know. 1.00
00:44:14.280 That'd be funny.
00:44:15.580 It would,
00:44:17.200 it would be funny,
00:44:18.340 but it would,
00:44:18.980 it would,
00:44:19.560 so are some of the things that we said on the podcast.
00:44:23.220 Yeah.
00:44:23.580 We had to cut them.
00:44:25.660 Yeah.
00:44:26.100 How much do we,
00:44:26.700 are you really cutting that?
00:44:27.960 I don't know.
00:44:28.700 You should.
00:44:29.680 You should.
00:44:30.200 Cause now I'm paranoid.
00:44:32.780 I'm not going to cut it and then I'm going to send it.
00:44:36.980 I'm not going to cut it.
00:44:37.820 No,
00:44:38.020 I'll cut it. 0.99
00:44:38.580 Don't fucking worry, 0.99
00:44:39.600 bro. 0.99
00:44:39.940 Yeah.
00:44:40.180 I think I'm trying to,
00:44:40.820 what do you think I'm trying to do? 1.00
00:44:43.160 Got a fucking family clawing at the door. 1.00
00:44:47.500 Clawing. 1.00
00:44:52.460 It's the ruin your career with Ben Bank is.
00:44:55.640 I've got a family clawing.
00:44:57.640 That was so funny.
00:45:02.820 Right before the episode,
00:45:03.740 he was talking about,
00:45:04.480 um,
00:45:05.200 renting an office space and,
00:45:07.360 um,
00:45:08.800 my dog was just clawing at the door.
00:45:10.820 Yeah.
00:45:11.980 Are you going to do that?
00:45:12.880 The Patreon office spacing?
00:45:14.740 Yeah,
00:45:15.160 guys.
00:45:16.180 So I think,
00:45:18.040 look,
00:45:20.140 it's enough is enough.
00:45:21.440 I can't do them.
00:45:22.080 I can't do the podcast.
00:45:23.420 Like fidgeting.
00:45:24.640 This chair's breaking.
00:45:26.460 These chairs were,
00:45:27.600 these chairs are like a hundred bucks on Amazon.
00:45:30.840 My wife built them alone.
00:45:33.880 Are you serious?
00:45:35.020 Yeah.
00:45:35.460 I wasn't here.
00:45:36.460 Where are you?
00:45:36.940 Where were you at?
00:45:37.740 I was on tour.
00:45:38.520 Oh yeah.
00:45:39.380 But she was just bored and built them. 0.98
00:45:41.780 And I don't know.
00:45:43.120 I think I'm too fat for them.
00:45:45.000 Anyway,
00:45:45.380 this,
00:45:45.780 I think I need an office and a little studio,
00:45:51.100 a little space.
00:45:52.440 Yeah.
00:45:52.900 A little mini fridge action,
00:45:54.400 a little.
00:45:54.960 It's crazy to have this in your bathroom.
00:45:56.940 Yeah.
00:45:57.780 This is,
00:45:58.440 this,
00:45:58.720 this is an office.
00:45:59.640 This is supposed to be an office.
00:46:01.320 Every house in Texas comes with an office pretty much.
00:46:03.500 Yeah.
00:46:03.780 Yeah.
00:46:04.200 Every,
00:46:04.560 but it has so many rooms,
00:46:05.720 but like you can't have a bedroom in here really.
00:46:08.380 I mean,
00:46:08.600 you can,
00:46:09.240 but there's no closet.
00:46:10.320 It's Mexican. 0.96
00:46:11.040 Mexicans would make it a bedroom, 1.00
00:46:12.180 but this is definitely it's, 0.76
00:46:13.820 it's an office,
00:46:14.320 but it really should just be an office or it should just be a podcast studio and having both.
00:46:19.220 Like I have to like wheel that chair out of here.
00:46:22.000 And then I wheel it back.
00:46:23.000 And then my dogs break in here. 0.99
00:46:24.540 The dogs have pissed on the fucking floor in here. 1.00
00:46:26.900 Yeah. 1.00
00:46:27.500 And it's,
00:46:27.960 it's,
00:46:28.700 it's bad.
00:46:29.400 No,
00:46:30.400 I think,
00:46:30.800 I think a zero dog.
00:46:34.060 So he came up with a policy that he's going to,
00:46:37.080 or like a goal,
00:46:37.920 right?
00:46:39.380 We're halfway to the goal of paying for it,
00:46:41.700 but I think I might just go ahead and do it.
00:46:43.700 But it is weird to ask for a goal.
00:46:45.720 And guys,
00:46:46.680 our goal is I need to eat what a burger,
00:46:51.080 three bucks.
00:46:52.440 Can we throw me a bone here?
00:46:55.060 No,
00:46:55.340 it's,
00:46:56.460 this is the thing is people will like,
00:47:00.780 I have fans who aren't aware of the comedy world really.
00:47:05.720 So there are fans of mine.
00:47:07.320 They're like,
00:47:07.500 yeah,
00:47:07.680 yeah,
00:47:07.860 you do the ching chong, 1.00
00:47:08.880 bing bang.
00:47:09.440 And then they come and then they,
00:47:10.760 you know,
00:47:10.960 I want to see it.
00:47:11.720 Give me the,
00:47:12.060 give me it.
00:47:13.000 Like you said,
00:47:13.680 it's like comedy cocaine a little bit.
00:47:15.380 Yeah.
00:47:15.700 Um,
00:47:16.160 and then I'm like,
00:47:17.340 check out the podcast or support on Patreon.
00:47:20.000 And then like one guy was like,
00:47:21.600 eh,
00:47:21.960 you'll be fine.
00:47:23.980 Yeah.
00:47:24.540 Yeah.
00:47:24.680 It's like,
00:47:24.980 well,
00:47:25.540 not with that attitude.
00:47:27.700 If every,
00:47:28.660 if every one of my fans is just like,
00:47:30.260 eh,
00:47:31.260 you're selling it.
00:47:31.940 I'll come see you once.
00:47:33.140 Like,
00:47:33.480 no,
00:47:34.200 we,
00:47:34.520 right,
00:47:35.100 right,
00:47:35.380 right.
00:47:35.660 You're like,
00:47:35.980 let's keep it going.
00:47:36.880 You gotta,
00:47:37.580 I mean,
00:47:37.920 it's not even that it's,
00:47:39.580 you know,
00:47:39.860 it's one thing to be like,
00:47:40.860 well,
00:47:41.480 obviously,
00:47:41.920 you know,
00:47:42.220 it's like,
00:47:42.580 what are you trying to get rich off this?
00:47:44.860 Well, 1.00
00:47:45.160 no shit. 1.00
00:47:45.800 Like what the fuck you think? 1.00
00:47:46.820 I'm wearing headphones and sitting in my fucking house in a weird room and inviting fucking comics to Korean comics in a row to my house. 1.00
00:47:55.880 You think I'd have two Koreans in my house in a week? 1.00
00:47:59.580 If I wasn't trying to make a couple bucks here,
00:48:02.600 folks,
00:48:02.940 I should have done that thing every Asian comic does when it's like two in a row, 1.00
00:48:07.500 like on a comedy show.
00:48:08.720 Be like,
00:48:09.020 I know what you're thinking.
00:48:10.680 Two in a row.
00:48:12.940 Same last name.
00:48:13.960 I know what you're thinking.
00:48:14.520 I'm not the last gay.
00:48:17.580 It is going to be funny if you think yours is coming out next.
00:48:20.820 And then I just put like another episode in between as like a buffer.
00:48:23.980 Yeah.
00:48:25.740 And then just four weeks later,
00:48:27.440 I just doesn't make sense.
00:48:28.520 Don't cut anything from the episode and throw it up.
00:48:31.880 Make a clip out of it.
00:48:33.220 Hey,
00:48:33.520 anybody,
00:48:33.860 everybody in the Austin comedy scene,
00:48:35.180 you should really watch this. 0.88
00:48:37.980 He did a really shitty impression. 0.79
00:48:42.620 Yeah. 0.51
00:48:42.980 It's,
00:48:43.480 it would be nice to have an office.
00:48:45.680 I think it's more chill.
00:48:47.120 Yeah.
00:48:47.540 Yeah.
00:48:47.760 It'd be nice.
00:48:48.460 My family's worried about it.
00:48:49.600 And I think it's,
00:48:50.020 I think it's good.
00:48:50.600 I think you should have your,
00:48:51.880 your fans pay for it.
00:48:53.500 Yeah.
00:48:54.180 Yeah.
00:48:54.440 It's like a build a wall and have Mexico pay for it. 0.93
00:48:57.380 What are your tears in Patreon?
00:48:59.360 What are the payment tears? 0.98
00:49:00.640 I got really fucked up one night and then just like asked, 0.95
00:49:04.940 like I was like working with like chat GPT or, 0.98
00:49:08.340 well,
00:49:08.440 I use Grok to like come up with some like tier names and stuff.
00:49:12.140 Is Grok better? 0.97
00:49:12.640 Pretty retarded right now. 1.00
00:49:13.880 No. 0.98
00:49:14.260 Grok's better.
00:49:14.960 I don't know.
00:49:15.660 I like Grok,
00:49:16.380 but I think they're both kind of,
00:49:18.560 I think Grok's like less woke, 1.00
00:49:20.100 but it doesn't really matter for certain things.
00:49:22.480 But in terms of my comedy,
00:49:25.900 I feel like there's a bit of a,
00:49:27.240 like a woke,
00:49:28.780 like the eight,
00:49:29.300 like the chat GPT is kind of like edgy fence.
00:49:34.040 Like,
00:49:34.200 I don't know.
00:49:34.560 It's whereas like Grok's like, 1.00
00:49:36.440 Oh yeah,
00:49:36.720 it's good.
00:49:39.760 These chairs are breaking.
00:49:40.640 Wait,
00:49:41.800 so what are the tier names?
00:49:44.100 Like,
00:49:44.500 give me the, 1.00
00:49:45.000 give me the fuck. 1.00
00:49:46.240 I really got to redo these. 1.00
00:49:47.540 I think you got to say it out loud.
00:49:50.100 Now the first tier is penny bankers.
00:49:53.720 Okay.
00:49:54.460 And what is that?
00:49:55.860 A penny,
00:49:56.520 a penny a month.
00:49:58.260 It's a five bucks.
00:49:59.880 How does that make sense?
00:50:01.860 Well,
00:50:02.260 I'm trying to bait people into thinking that they're poor.
00:50:06.540 So I'm like,
00:50:07.180 you're trying to bait them into thinking that they're poor.
00:50:08.720 You're trying to bait them into thinking $5.
00:50:10.640 It's a penny.
00:50:11.460 Well,
00:50:11.760 it pretty much is,
00:50:12.720 isn't it?
00:50:14.900 It's five bucks a lot for you.
00:50:16.220 If you saw a bill for five bucks on your credit card,
00:50:18.220 are you like taking the time out of your day to know,
00:50:22.080 but like if I see a penny on the ground or five bucks,
00:50:26.700 I mean,
00:50:27.080 pennies crazy.
00:50:28.140 I don't even think you, 0.92
00:50:28.720 you can't,
00:50:29.480 you can't,
00:50:30.020 the lowest you can do is a dollar.
00:50:31.660 I think,
00:50:32.100 but even then it's like,
00:50:36.560 Oh yeah,
00:50:36.820 my Patreon's a dollar.
00:50:38.040 I spent three years getting 5,000 people and now I make 5,000 bucks.
00:50:42.920 It's crazy.
00:50:44.300 So it's just that?
00:50:45.880 No,
00:50:46.140 it's five,
00:50:47.280 15,
00:50:48.080 and like 35.
00:50:48.900 You don't even know.
00:50:54.520 We're going to have to cut this.
00:50:55.560 We're going to have to cut this all.
00:50:56.720 You don't know your own tears?
00:50:58.540 I just came up with new ones.
00:50:59.980 I actually should know them all.
00:51:01.320 Jesus,
00:51:01.860 dude,
00:51:02.160 what is going on here?
00:51:04.120 Uh, 1.00
00:51:05.080 fuck. 1.00
00:51:05.860 I don't know. 1.00
00:51:08.460 This is bad.
00:51:11.040 Nickel,
00:51:11.640 nickel,
00:51:12.060 knickerbockers.
00:51:15.040 You don't know your own.
00:51:16.460 It's just the N word.
00:51:18.440 Um,
00:51:19.520 yeah,
00:51:19.820 I don't know.
00:51:22.780 Can you look on your,
00:51:23.800 do you have Patreon on your phone?
00:51:25.360 I'm actually subscribed.
00:51:26.900 So let me see.
00:51:27.600 Are you subbed on mine?
00:51:28.720 Yeah.
00:51:29.220 No,
00:51:29.780 that's so,
00:51:31.280 that's like the one thing comics will never help.
00:51:33.360 Each other out at what's signing up.
00:51:35.700 You subbed to mine.
00:51:36.500 I'll subbed to yours,
00:51:37.300 but that would be like pointless.
00:51:39.480 Yeah,
00:51:39.720 exactly.
00:51:40.180 Well,
00:51:40.360 just be breaking.
00:51:41.400 Even you help the algorithms.
00:51:43.740 You like comment on it,
00:51:44.940 I guess on Patreon.
00:51:47.120 I think it's like,
00:51:47.960 it's like nickel stackers and then chaos.
00:51:50.960 Yeah.
