00:01:28.140 it was fun i have been a fan of yours for a very long time wow and i want to tell you the very first

00:01:33.740 youtube video i saw of yours that like i was like oh yeah i'm locked in here all right that's when i

00:01:39.280 i purchased my citizenship to curtis yeah yeah you have to purchase you have to buy it's really

00:01:43.980 expensive yeah it's pretty fucked up there's a whole lot of layers to it yeah um it was your video

00:01:49.180 you made about uh tiktok country boys oh that was the very first one i'd ever seen really that's

00:01:54.720 like a super old video yeah that was the first one i saw because i remembered you from vine okay

00:01:59.660 because wait i'm jumping all over the place okay so the genesis of your career yeah did you start you

00:02:04.220 started on vine right uh yeah that's yeah pretty much yeah i started doing uh i started doing stand-up

00:02:10.820 and then i was i wanted like a way to also be like writing and doing jokes and stuff yeah when i

00:02:18.540 wasn't on stage and vine was like popping at the time yeah yeah uh yeah i started on vine did pretty

00:02:24.880 pretty good on there i was having fun i put all my eggs in that basket and uh and then they dropped

00:02:30.500 the basket then they threw it in the trash and then all my eggs broke um but then yeah then moved to

00:02:36.140 youtube and it's been pretty good and how how was it building your youtube in the beginning was it like

00:02:41.700 a lot different because vine was such a short form or was it more fun well i was trying to

00:02:46.780 like like running in tandem with vine i was trying to do youtube also because like other people were

00:02:53.500 doing it but i was like i just didn't know what to do on there i was like starting i was doing like

00:02:57.780 sketches like i just it was like just trying to see what worked and it just like took so long and it

00:03:04.100 really took me a while to really like hone in and sort of uh it only until i saw like my friends

00:03:10.760 like danny and drew like they started doing like commentary and i was like okay i feel like that's

00:03:14.840 something i would want to try totally gave it a try and then uh and not me drew by the way

00:03:20.020 right good yeah drew good if y'all don't know yeah but uh yeah it was just uh it took a while a lot

00:03:26.900 of fucking trial and error but um worked out thank god clearly yeah it's doing really well

00:03:33.540 for the uh the youtube when you were did you learn how to edit your own stuff is that like what was

00:03:39.420 taking you kind of a long time or did you already know how to do that i yeah i taught myself how to

00:03:44.520 edit i mean it's not fucking rocket science but i just thought it's it was just like it was just

00:03:48.500 years and years of just slowly doing it and just like getting better over time trial and error

00:03:51.880 yeah and i actually worked at a startup a company called inkbox uh oh that's right yeah they make

00:03:58.460 semi-permanent tattoos yeah and uh yeah i feel like i it it was great because i was like the head of

00:04:05.580 video content there so i was like uh that was a term that i got to pick myself also it sounds like way

00:04:11.860 sicker than i actually was but they're like what's your title what do you want it to be and i was like

00:04:14.960 that one so um but that like like kind of forced me to edit like all day every day so it's like i got

00:04:21.340 like pretty not good i just got like proficient a lot faster yeah quicker yeah because it is a it

00:04:28.140 is a tedious process it's not necessarily hard depending on what you're doing yeah because that

00:04:32.800 was the one thing the one like i've talked about how i'm like one of the few people i think who went

00:04:37.500 to college and my degrees are useful in mine because i was a journalism and communications major

00:04:41.620 so i learned how to edit i learned how to do sound and right talk on camera and all that stuff so

00:04:46.640 damn like i learned all that in college so thankfully i can use it here but even so like editing

00:04:51.300 is tedious it takes forever it takes a long time especially to get funny at it like because

00:04:55.960 editing like a news package is what i was doing is one thing but like editing something that's

00:05:00.400 supposed to be entertaining and funny it's a whole nother thing yeah i yeah but that's like the it's

00:05:06.200 it's tedious though but it's like i feel like uh over the years i feel like i've developed like a

00:05:12.440 style of editing that people i was just about to say yeah i was like your style is very funny and i

00:05:17.620 think that's what people really love thanks yeah you're welcome i yeah i think if i stopped

00:05:23.400 editing my own videos it'd be people would be pretty upset because like you would tell that

00:05:27.780 it's like someone else you know yeah i've seen some of my friends who have been youtubers for a long

00:05:31.880 time like they refuse to give up the editing because they're like they just don't get it yeah

00:05:36.180 they're not going to match my freak the way i need them exactly yeah i need them to match my freak

00:05:39.780 every time i would try to hire an editor that's what that was like the the thing the email i would send

00:05:44.520 them like please just can you just please fucking match my freak yeah for what best regards curtis

00:05:50.920 best regards curtis i think uh the when i saw your uh country boy video i first of all i was working

00:05:59.120 in an office and i remember because i was watching it in my cubicle well like i was listening to it and

00:06:03.460 i had it up listening to it me stealing time yeah um i was working but i was listening to the youtube

00:06:09.040 video and i was laughing my ass off and my sister was in the cubicle next to me and she texted me and

00:06:14.240 said what are you watching dude because she couldn't hear me going am i my fucking cubicle

00:06:19.900 by myself whoa i was dead and you know why because your style of humor i love i love yourself where

00:06:27.180 it's like silly and it's like it's it's very like silly and goofy and light-hearted but it's so

00:06:32.720 specific and funny wow and i actually remember jokes from that video like you said that hat is so on

00:06:39.080 that guy's head oh yeah you're talking about the guy his head was pushed so far

00:06:42.900 i forgot i said that yeah shit like that like would it cracks me the fuck up because it's just so silly

00:06:52.120 it like yeah it means nothing it's just so like whatever goofy yeah i know i'm so thankful for the

00:06:57.600 those country guys making those tiktoks because it was so like i was just like such a baffling thing

00:07:03.100 that nobody had really talked about it yet because it's like the like the juxtaposition of like a

00:07:07.780 tough country guy like lip syncing to a fucking camera is like crazy like it's so backwards and

00:07:13.980 the one you did about divorced dads like oh yeah yeah making tiktoks with their kids yeah those are so

00:07:20.700 good what an obscene premise i know i wish tiktok existed when i was a kid so my dad could have made

00:07:26.100 one of those how old are you i'm 30 30 big yeah i know god you're a million years older than me

00:09:51.560 lizard in uh spider-man his canonically his name is uh kurt connors

00:09:58.140 dr kurt connors so i do have a i do have a close relationship with lizards do you when it comes

00:10:07.020 to the marvel y'all are one in the same yeah is that the lizard that jamie fox turns into or is that

00:10:12.240 different that's uh he never was a lizard what is he then who's the guy he's electric oh he's

00:10:17.520 electro wait i'm thinking of the doctor that turns himself he's trying to turn everybody into

00:10:21.100 lizards yeah that's dr kurt connors oh okay okay okay sorry i'm not a fucking geek so i didn't know

00:10:26.800 that i'm not a fucking pussy sorry i got laid in high school so i didn't have that lame oh that's

00:10:35.260 the one he wanted to turn everyone into lizards his name was kurt connors yeah well i've never seen

00:10:39.260 the two of you in the same room so how am i to know that's true i want to turn everyone into kurt

00:10:42.880 connors not even a lizard just him everyone is me that would be a little horrifying that's a dream

00:10:49.840 that's kurtistown that's a dream yeah you said in order to gain citizenship see this is why i revoked

00:10:54.860 my citizenship or rescinded it because yeah we have to turn into you right it's just a lot of time and

00:10:59.700 money it's a lot of yeah it's a lot of work it's a dedication a lot of surgeries a lot of uh

00:11:04.660 we have a very similar build so that would have been easy yeah that's true people have said that

00:11:09.860 okay so you said that you started uh doing stand-up and now you're doing stand-up all the

00:11:14.220 time how has that journey been for you doing stand-up uh it's been great i uh that's how i got

00:11:19.960 into into comedy and yeah just doing stand-up around toronto the greater toronto area the gta

00:11:27.080 um and you guys know yeah canadians we know and uh yeah it's been great i mean it's like i've been

00:11:34.580 doing it for so long now uh i did my first set when i was 19 wow and i'm fucking 30 now so um

00:11:41.000 yeah i've been doing it for a while um and it's been great obviously um with like the internet stuff

00:11:47.540 that's happened yeah it's been great that like like when i first started doing shows and like

00:11:52.320 people from like vine would show up to like come to the shows it was crazy because it's like oh there's

00:11:57.820 actual like people who like want to see me as opposed to like our big fans of you yeah as opposed to

00:12:04.000 like it was just years of doing shows to just other comedians waiting to for to go on after me

00:12:09.820 so uh so yeah it's obviously it's been great to have um both um things sort of like feed into each

00:12:18.140 other too because i feel like when i do stand-up i feel really like it it just makes me a better

00:12:24.160 writer makes me a better like even performer when i'm even just like recording a video yeah i just

00:12:28.800 feel like more comfortable so it just it's been great and i i feel like i urge anybody to even just

00:12:32.800 try it if they are making like funny content on the internet i just think it's like a great thing

00:12:39.520 to try and if you hate it you hate it but if um you don't then you don't i yeah i was gonna say i i

00:12:47.280 started i've only done stand-up once so far i did a small five nice um tight five yeah tight five

00:12:55.060 tight five uh for a hilarious five if you will okay uh for my friend caleb harron um and he

00:13:01.740 closed at the largo like his uh the end of his tour and he asked me to do five for him which i was

00:13:05.680 like whoa which is really cool so the first time you did it was at that show at the largo at the largo

00:13:12.180 yeah that's what every comedian was telling me they were like oh nice yeah cool friends in high

00:13:17.980 places guys uh me just using caleb uh no i i love him dearly but i it was honestly like truly

00:13:25.640 so intimidating i would never get really nervous about anything revolving work i i'm sure you could

00:13:31.700 tell i'm a yapper at my fucking heart so i love to talk i love being recorded i don't mind being

00:13:36.820 recorded like right yeah i never really get nervous uh doing anything for work but that i was so

00:13:42.780 nervous to do yeah i can imagine it's just a whole nother yeah i didn't even and i didn't even

00:13:47.060 factor that in which is funny because my manager he's been work he works he's worked in stand-up

00:13:52.140 forever but he's toured people for so long and he was like the largo is huge dude that's like such a

00:13:55.660 great yeah like a first one that's crazy and i was like well don't tell me more things because i'm

00:13:59.620 gonna get more fucking nervous right and i think it's because i know i'm funny like haha online funny

00:14:05.100 but i was like i just think stand-up is a completely different art form i have a lot of respect for

00:14:09.420 stand-up i love stand-up so much so i didn't want to find out the hard way i was

00:14:12.740 bad right because you know some some online people who are known for being funny like they

00:14:17.060 immediately try stand-up and it just doesn't work yeah yeah it just doesn't translate different

00:14:20.620 bone yeah it's completely different how did it go it went well it went really well i think so i

00:14:25.580 didn't market it at all or tell anyone i was going because i told caleb i was like i really

00:14:29.900 wanted to be a pure experience like i want the people who go if they have no idea who i am i just

00:14:34.780 want to know if they think i'm funny right because if i market market it like my fans will come

00:14:38.360 too which is a great thing but they'll laugh at anything i say really like because they love me and i

00:14:42.600 think that's that's not a bad thing but i wanted to know for realsies if i was like funny like i was

00:14:47.280 like i wanted like a stranger to tell me that for sure so it worked out for the best but i i was

00:14:52.500 followed by chris fleming which is just like an unbelievable act to follow like i'm glad i didn't

00:14:57.620 go after him obviously i didn't he did i think 15 but his was so fucking funny and then caleb obviously

00:15:03.340 he's a powerhouse so wow that's quite the lineup good for you though that's wild that's like

00:15:08.600 that's pretty nervous it's like where do you go from that down obviously yeah aim high yeah i start

00:15:15.940 high and then end up at the bottom yeah but it's very i have a lot of respect for you doing that so

00:15:20.740 often and so well because it's such an art form and i don't know how people like the memorizing part

00:15:25.840 of it was the hardest part for me right yeah i was like i could barely do five i can't believe

00:15:30.960 people can do an hour that's crazy yeah when i started doing i was i was pretty intimidated by

00:15:35.980 doing an hour but once you're up there and like it's like it's kind of easy because it's like

00:15:40.400 you wrote the jokes that's true that's what my friend caleb kept telling me he's like you're the

00:15:44.300 one writing them so it's easier to remember them when you write them yeah because you're the one who

00:15:47.740 like thought of them and wrote them down so it's like oh i can just remember the thing i wrote after

00:15:52.420 but even then obviously it still happens all the time where i forget a joke i forget a tag or

00:15:57.800 something and then it fucks me up later but yeah um but that's just that's just the business

00:16:03.260 he told me caleb told me too he's like and honestly if you start like blanking a little

00:16:08.460 bit he's like you can always look at your phone sometimes i just write like uh things on my notes

00:16:13.160 that will remind me of my jokes so it's like yeah a few keywords that will remind me he goes or i'll

00:16:18.040 just do crowd work a little bit to kind of fill space until you remember what yeah i was like well

00:16:22.740 i was like okay and i was like he said especially if it's like feels like people aren't laughing you

00:16:26.640 could lean towards crowd work because i'm good at making fun of people or doing things with

00:16:30.940 another person right and so i was like okay and i was like well if that if those two plans don't

00:16:36.300 work i did bring a gun so either way yeah we're all gonna be laughing someone's gonna laugh

00:16:41.740 something will happen yeah something memorable will happen that night someone's gonna laugh and it

00:16:47.760 whether by force or naturally laugh and so you're going you're currently on tour right kind of doing

00:16:56.580 some doing some shows yeah doing some some shows around uh i'm just doing like comedy clubs um yeah

00:17:02.220 i got shows in irvine this weekend um i had some shows we had phoenix went to appleton wisconsin

00:17:08.960 i mean the life is just crazy oh god if the stories i could tell you about appleton wisconsin

00:17:15.540 like where else did we go they're tantalizing yeah already damn got them yeah you could use that

00:17:24.220 word if you want um about appleton wisconsin um how was that show they were sick the shows are awesome

00:17:31.340 yeah great crowd yeah i feel i feel like uh it was weird because um we did early shows and late shows

00:17:37.140 that weekend and the early shows were like fucking insanely good and then usually it's like the late shows

00:17:43.440 are like even like the best ones because it's like people are you know a little more booze in them

00:17:47.800 they're like all right late show we're getting crazy you know we're getting fucking wild you know and

00:17:53.180 then um but but those ones it was like the polar opposite like the late shows in appleton wisconsin

00:17:57.800 their energy was so low really and i was like i was thinking about it and i was like these people have

00:18:03.380 never been up this late before places close there at like 3 p.m they're there in a bad mood yeah they're

00:18:09.900 just like these way past i don't know what the fuck i'm doing here dude literally i was in

00:18:13.640 appleton wisconsin and coffee i was going to a coffee shop like a local coffee shop and it was

00:18:18.660 closed at fucking three o'clock that's like we're not even in like where'd y'all go yeah there's still

00:18:26.300 so much of the day and it was like a friday too it was like i don't know but appleton was great

00:18:31.140 loved it what's a what's a place you love performing no matter no matter what time of the year or

00:18:37.360 um like city or state yeah country even i mean fucking i've only done some of the best shows i

00:18:48.200 ever done were in australia which is really yeah australian crowds were fucking they get down oh

00:18:53.520 really yeah i mean it's like i don't even they're just like so stoked about like everything they were

00:18:57.960 down for any bit it was just like that's cool it was so cool i love a good sport yeah yeah and

00:19:03.400 they're just like down all of all australians are just so silly they're just so goofy just a very

00:19:09.420 silly energy about them yeah yeah lots of australian men really fucking hate me really past that

00:19:15.900 yeah they do i don't know if they they i don't know if there's like misogyny in their water over

00:19:21.020 there but like yeah a lot of their men are like that very strange yeah whenever i yeah when i was

00:19:27.460 over there i i did i was pretty misogynistic when i was over there something about the air in that

00:19:32.700 water you start like it's like the mask from jim carrey you're like yeah he's women

00:19:38.760 i made that joke at um have you ever been to hoi uh no okay well there's a there's a place in

00:19:46.500 hoi in onahu called the polynesian cultural center it's basically like my family and i because we're

00:19:51.720 someone we're polynesian we call it a zoo because that's essentially what it is but like

00:19:56.000 they have each island in polynesia and they're like exhibits and they're like live it's almost

00:20:01.180 like a museum but they have people dressed culturally accurate and they just kind of hang

00:20:05.900 out there and they act they act the part but not because they are if that makes sense okay so they

00:20:11.780 just do demonstrations they show you at a basket leave whatever it's just like a big zoo okay and

00:20:15.540 when we were there the other day the other day when we were there uh last month we were walking

00:20:20.620 around and like i was saying because uh white people love going there for obvious reasons like

00:20:25.780 it's cool it's cool because they do a lot of cultural dancing which is really fun to watch

00:20:28.680 right um but they get really into it when they go there and i was like making a joke i was like

00:20:32.440 it's like they come here and they start like wolverine they start like a lycanthrope they start

00:20:36.660 turning into like they start like turning into a colonizer

00:20:40.380 they're like run you know what i mean that's super funny my cousin was like it's like michael

00:20:47.360 jackson's thriller like right yeah you just can't control it yeah it's like same thing when you go

00:20:52.540 to australia yeah they just like you have to fight it yeah i mean i fit right in too because the mullet

00:20:57.440 and everything like every australian guy they look just like me and it was like i felt like a it's

00:21:03.040 like a hive mind just get swept up in it yeah it was we all moved as one unit it was pretty crazy

00:21:10.660 multi-cells form one fist yeah it was like a megazord voltron yeah six cats all in one yeah

00:21:18.400 one giant thing that's i was like when i started turning into something like that sounds like the

00:21:22.160 transformers i was like yeah yep yep start speaking alien a little bit yeah it which like the end the

00:21:29.560 other side of that for me is like i have a huge fan base in australia because so many women right

00:21:34.720 like fuck with me because i've fucked up australian men before yeah well you have like a yeah that's

00:21:39.800 like a yeah they're running concurrently it's like real a win is a win yeah i mean i guess i'll take it

00:21:46.200 yeah i had one australian guy go on a podcast and talk about me but he didn't say my name even though

00:21:51.740 they used so many of my videos in this clip and i was like you guys know my name but you you had to

00:21:57.160 search me up to find my shit and use it but when he was saying he called me some bitch on tiktok

00:22:02.420 which that's like my tagline over there i was like this bitch on tiktok which like he's bitch on tiktok

00:22:08.280 yeah exactly that might be new zealand i don't know i always get them mixed up a little bit me too

00:22:17.100 with the accent yeah which is funny because when i said that he was australian um some people were like

00:22:21.560 girl he's from new zealand i'm all potato potato all right yeah they're fucking beside each other

00:22:26.980 he's talking shit on me yeah yeah you guys got the gist right okay make sure you cross the line

00:22:31.400 you didn't directly correctly say where he's from and he uh he even said he's like yeah she is you

00:22:39.820 know she makes these videos and they're so negative and blah blah blah like denigrating towards men but

00:22:44.400 that's too big of a word for him but they're just they're mean to men and in the middle of him

00:22:49.400 describing me he goes and she's a pretty big girl anyways and i could not stop laughing because i

00:22:55.300 was like that's just drive-by fat phobia it's like she's a fat bitch by the way anyways whoa any i know

00:23:00.100 you're wondering if she's fat yes she is um anyway just that drive-by shit like that i'm like that's

00:23:05.260 funny yeah i find that funny you you prefer the drive-bys than the i just think if you surprise me

00:23:11.440 yeah i'm like wow i wasn't expecting you had the misdirection yeah uh speaking of when you and i

00:23:17.760 made a youtube video when we youtubed back in the day four score and seven years ago it feels like

00:23:24.400 it was a while ago yeah we were also talking about men because you've talked about men a few times and

00:23:28.840 like silly men a lot of different genres of men yeah yeah and uh i remember we talked about the

00:23:34.700 that one guy i don't even remember his name but i know he had the bullet necklace

00:23:38.140 yeah and he was like teaching men how to how to be alphas and how to get women yeah did you take a lot

00:23:44.800 from those videos yeah yeah i learned a lot i remember well what was their one their one thing

00:23:49.880 i remember was they like hated women who had debt yeah they got fucking debt i got fucking debt which

00:23:56.240 is crazy he's like yeah they have debt yeah everyone has like everybody has that everybody has like

00:24:03.100 literally everybody has that that's such a wild take yeah you said if you have a designer bag but

00:24:08.120 and you're not a doctor oh yeah you probably have debt right which is such a straight like

00:24:13.640 what a leap that is a crazy sentence

00:24:15.920 you have to be a doctor first of all to own anything luxury the only way yeah i guess the

00:24:23.140 only way women make money is being a doctor yeah and that's it that's the only way doctor

00:24:28.140 stay-at-home wife or bitch on tiktok yeah i created a new path for us follow me ladies

00:24:34.400 yeah we could go somewhere else with this but i i remember in the um in your video i was like

00:24:41.200 honored that you had asked me and it was funny because my boyfriend is like he wasn't really into

00:24:46.500 youtube like he didn't really watch youtube very often but like when he and i started dating um a few

00:24:51.640 years in that's when i started watching you on youtube and so i would be like you should watch him

00:24:54.600 he's funny like you'll you'll like his style yeah and he was a big fan oh cool so when i when you asked

00:24:59.840 me um he was like that's so cool i was like right but he didn't want to come today so okay

00:25:05.180 just kidding i didn't even ask him so i'm not that big of a fan i guess so clearly a fake fan well

00:25:11.520 damn that's cool though yeah he was uh you converted him to a youtube watcher wow yeah he was a youtube

00:25:17.880 guy he was at the time yeah like back in the day you know youtube we've shifted all now to like

00:25:22.380 tiktok and so sometimes i go back to my my roots of youtube but i was going to ask like have you

00:25:27.420 noticed any sort of change like with the introduction of tiktok like how that's

00:25:30.940 worked in tandem like with your youtube or is it kind of just business as usual yeah i think i'm

00:25:37.080 i'm pretty lucky with where i am on youtube because i sort of like i guess it's weird because it's like

00:25:44.500 i started short form i started on short form content yeah uh and then i moved into long form and now it's

00:25:50.600 like going back to more short form again yeah uh but i think in the time i was doing long form i think

00:25:58.240 that's where i kind of my bread and butter is now so it's like i've always i've used tiktok but it's

00:26:03.520 like i've never leaned on it yeah i just like fucked around on there so it's like uh i have there is

00:26:09.440 still like a lot of people who do want to watch long videos on youtube no for sure so it's like

00:26:14.600 yeah there's sometimes i'm like i've tried uploaded like youtube shorts and it's just like it doesn't

00:26:19.000 it's like it's what's it's not it's not worth the effort yeah it's just another thing yeah i get

00:26:23.700 to spend the time doing the long videos that actually totally makes sense yeah there's like

00:26:29.020 i i sometimes when there's new things i'm like i can't do another thing yeah there's too much do

00:26:34.660 another thing please don't give me another thing like when they introduced reels i was like

00:26:38.720 girl yeah i'm dying there's too many things reels yeah thankfully with youtube shorts i was like

00:26:44.860 i'm cool yeah i'm cool off that yeah although sometimes i've never done obviously i've never

00:26:51.040 done youtube videos or anything like that but sometimes i did post youtube shorts once because

00:26:55.280 i was in a like a partnership with youtube shorts for a little and so i just did like they told me

00:27:00.220 i had to post like however many videos or whatever in a certain amount of time and i'm like period

00:27:03.560 right easy and then the way i i was like oh that's so easy like it's just like in three months you

00:27:08.520 to post like 80 videos something like that and i the way i uploaded 60 of them like two weeks before

00:27:15.040 the deadline is insane i was just like firing them off i'm like what's another clip i have

00:27:19.140 wow you're just doing it at the end and then i'm like wow it didn't do that well

00:27:24.220 i wonder why god my engagement wasn't very good on those youtube shorts i wonder maybe it's because

00:27:28.560 i flooded the algorithm like a fucking bot two weeks before my deadline yeah maybe yeah there's too

00:27:34.060 many too many fucking apps these fuck these days all your b-reels and your fucking what else is

00:27:41.260 these damn kids yeah that that was crazy how b-real was so popular for like one summer and then like

00:27:49.220 never again oh my god i know i was great i never i never got it but i that was one that i got and then

00:27:54.820 i stayed consistent for like maybe a month yeah if that i missed like fucking eight days in that month

00:28:01.680 but like wow i still did and then i was like hey i'm not doing this anymore yeah oh this isn't

00:28:06.180 required i'm not doing it it's not required yeah it's like oh yeah this is this is taxing for me

00:28:13.540 and it's really not it's just a picture it is a picture yeah it's like i feel like i well i'm curious

00:28:18.380 to know because you've been in the game for so long if it's kind of disillusioned your idea of social

00:28:23.740 media like now that it's your job so it's like you know sometimes it's just not as fun anymore because

00:28:28.420 it's work so you have to do it all the time right post and stuff when you're not posting for

00:28:32.540 fun yeah or whatever yeah i i don't know i feel like it's maybe it's different because you're on

00:28:38.720 youtube yeah maybe yeah i feel like because when i post on youtube it's so like far in between it's

00:28:44.320 like it's like once or two times a month so it's like and even then it's like it's still so much fun

00:28:49.660 i like it even just like like putting it like a stupid tweet or something or like a stupid

00:28:56.580 like it's i it's super fun i just like i can't imagine like i feel i can't imagine using social

00:29:02.260 media and not being a like a content career yeah or like even just like a com a comedian or like who

00:29:09.580 makes like comedy content because it's like if i had to do other shit i'd be like this is fucking

00:29:13.780 boring i know caleb has told me he's like if i could just get rid of social media just

00:29:19.640 do be a comic like yeah i would do that immediately like if i didn't need this i would

00:29:24.360 really interesting yeah he's told me that before and i think it's because he's only ever been in

00:29:28.800 comedy and then just recently started gotcha doing social yeah you kind of have to now yeah yeah

00:29:34.100 exactly which is what he told me he was like if i could get rid of it i would immediately damn and i

00:29:38.440 was like damn can't relate yeah i need attention too bad yeah i feel like it's i feel like for me it's

00:29:44.440 not even attention i feel like it's just like there's just so much you could do it's just so fun

00:29:48.200 just just fart around and just have like a like a well i thought i was gonna find community with

00:29:52.820 you clearly i can't sorry forget it not this time wrong guy you got the wrong guy also i do want to

00:30:01.400 mention too curtis asked me this when he first sat down if he was the first straight man to ever be

00:30:05.100 on the show the second actually big title big number two first or second the best yeah go ahead and

00:30:12.180 tell tell that to carlo my buddy who came on two years ago maybe yeah two years ago been a while

00:30:17.520 sorry carlo yeah see so take that to all the men who hate me clearly i don't hate they don't all

00:30:24.040 hate me yeah yeah because there's one right here sitting in the chair trust me they don't watch my

00:30:30.040 show yeah yeah that's the equivalent of being like i'm not racist i have a black fan yeah yeah i'm like

00:30:36.600 see at least one yeah at least one it's funny because when i did that youtube video with you too i had

00:30:41.980 i did have some youtube video with you too with youtube with with bono i didn't see that one with

00:30:48.320 bono specifically but he didn't have to force me like when they put that album on my ipod

00:30:51.880 they didn't have to force me yeah songs of innocence is that what it's called right

00:30:56.240 i yeah you would you look like you would know a lot more about youtube than i would

00:31:01.020 that's true i think based off perception alone you would know way more about youtube than me

00:31:05.840 yeah you're right my understanding of any sort of like band like that is is non-existent

00:31:13.140 really yeah like i was telling once i don't even remember what i was talking about but i was talking

00:31:17.720 to my boyfriend about something and i go they make music like that what's that one band you know the

00:31:22.980 one they like it's like the older white guys and they do like rock music and he goes there's like

00:31:27.520 so many that's most bands that's most bands and i go oh yeah like guns and roses or something and he

00:31:33.100 goes i don't know probably because yeah i still have not said what it is i'm trying to describe

00:31:37.540 and i'm like i don't fucking know it was one of those damn did you not did you not remember which

00:31:41.260 one it was no i i think it was if i'm being honest i think it was led zeppelin and i was yeah i was

00:31:46.300 talking about guns and roses the whole time okay and as far as i know they could be the same they

00:31:50.460 pretty much i feel like those two are like to me the same as like if i saw two white guys it could

00:31:55.940 be imagined dragons or it could be the chain smokers like i don't know yeah well yeah that's fair i don't know

00:32:01.040 like i'd believe you if you told me i'd be like sure yeah it's like the yeah there's a lot of bands

00:32:06.420 like like the killers would be another one like i know them you know them is is personally yeah

00:32:11.920 wait is dave girl on the killers come on no that's the foo fighters all right my sister was so mad at

00:32:17.840 me for a second sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry the killers is mr bright side yes yes look at me

00:32:24.440 white culture i know about it i study about it you know obviously i know about it but when i when i did

00:32:30.920 the youtube video with you i remember i did get some hate comments because at the time i was like

00:32:36.300 that was like my huge wave so i had like so much hate and so much love all at the same time and i

00:32:43.040 had i had some dudes being like i can't believe curtis would make a video with her she sucks like and

00:32:49.640 they're sending me that okay i think you sent it to the wrong i don't think you're supposed to send me

00:32:56.180 that shit some and then i would they would dm that shit to me they'd be like i can't believe

00:33:00.520 he made a video with you you're not even fucking funny and i was like well well well yeah the mayor

00:33:06.580 says otherwise exactly also it's weird to to be confused to that i would make a video with you

00:33:13.240 because i feel like we did we did pretty similar stuff yeah absolutely it made sense of like weird

00:33:19.020 dudes yeah so it's like i was like he's not a fan of you either i don't know what part of that's not

00:33:23.740 clear like i'm just a lot meaner than he is but like we're on the same side yeah and that's actually

00:33:29.440 funny because sometimes they'll say that to my boyfriend they're like i feel bad for you man

00:33:32.820 that you're like that he's with me and he's like they're like yeah someone needs to save him like

00:33:38.160 they'll say weirdo shit like that all the time to my boyfriend and then he goes like i also hate

00:33:42.120 you like i don't know what's not clear about that like i think you're getting a little confused

00:33:46.460 like i also don't like you like she's just a lot more vocal about it than me right and that's i'm

00:33:52.440 like you have a beautiful wife whom i love and adore yeah sure and actually she and i were

00:33:56.360 mutuals before you and i were mutuals yeah she was with your wife before you uh and i think she's

00:34:01.420 so sweet and so funny and i think you would agree absolutely yeah let's see like both of our spouses

00:34:06.460 didn't come even though they're both fans of either of us that's true yeah interesting what's that

00:34:11.580 about what's that about all right we'll figure that out we'll be yeah i'm gonna make some calls

00:34:15.680 after this but okay we'll transition into speaking of the youtube we're uh transitioning

00:34:21.880 into our topic which is the psychology of male dating experts uh posting self-improvement videos

00:34:28.240 on tiktok obviously curtis has come across many a dating expert i'm sure oh you did i think you did

00:34:34.360 a youtube video on like a really old uh pickup artists like reality show or something you said

00:34:40.020 you used to watch it when you were younger if i remember the vip yeah that's a great fucking show

00:34:46.480 and they were all pickup artists yeah he was being coached by one yeah so the premise of the keys the

00:34:51.320 vip i believe it's a canadian show a resident where did our resident canadian go when she comes back

00:34:57.340 we'll tell her i'll bring up he's the vip so keys the vip was like a game show two guys would

00:35:02.740 battle it out with these with each other competing against each other yeah and it would um it actually i

00:35:07.260 think a film in toronto but there was like two guys in a nightclub the camera's everywhere and like

00:35:11.960 each uh and there's four judges sort of like judging like watching it the whole time and they

00:35:17.840 would pick who won each round so each round the two guys would go out into the dance floor they try to

00:35:22.280 pick up like get a girl's number okay um but there was like challenges within each like thing so it's

00:35:27.900 like you have to get a girl's number but you have to insult her first or you gotta like a classic move

00:35:33.960 yeah you gotta like you gotta do like a weird dance first or something so yeah i watched that

00:35:40.400 in my formative years like late night on the comedy channel and um i do yeah it was awesome

00:35:47.620 really entertaining bits from your video and you were like i thought that guy was the coolest guy

00:35:52.320 oh yeah he had a soul patch and i thought that was awesome this guy's got it all figured out

00:36:00.120 guys on to something it was yeah i was at a time where like if you just like were a guy with like

00:36:06.560 longer hair that was like the coolest thing yeah it was like you were long pin straight hair

00:36:11.980 soul patch like a fucking leather jacket a brown leather jacket yeah it has to be brown yeah it has

00:36:18.480 to be brown the bluest jeans yeah the bluest jeans a tight black top yeah and then like maybe a

00:36:24.180 little choker like a little necklace yeah like a cross yeah fuck yeah i wanted to look i thought that

00:36:29.480 was awesome like chris angel type vibe yeah yeah did you ever watch the american gladiator

00:36:35.280 documentary series on netflix uh no okay there was this show back in the 80s and like 90s that was

00:36:42.460 called american gladiator i used to watch it yeah okay so they did a documentary on it on netflix it's

00:36:47.080 really funny it's like it's crazy and it's like so entertaining but um my boyfriend was like dude can

00:36:53.280 we watch this because he used to watch that show and so did my family and i when we were kids i was

00:36:57.440 like yeah let's watch it and when we were watching it i remember the main one of the main guys my

00:37:03.560 boyfriend was like i thought that guy was the coolest guy who ever existed he's like i think

00:37:10.020 it's because he kind of looks like me like a little bit did right he had long hair okay and he was like

00:37:15.160 racially ambiguous and then he was just like a cool guy yeah it's so funny thinking back to the dudes who

00:37:21.360 that you thought were so sick because they were fucking not at all but as a young boy you don't

00:37:26.580 know alex our resident canadian do you remember the show keys to the vip yes our resident canadian

00:37:33.860 said she loved that show as well yeah it was so good it sounds like there was an american dating

00:37:40.340 show called next that was really popular oh yes yes you know there was also parental control which

00:37:46.840 that one i loved that one room raiders was a good one also what was the one it was like my own

00:37:52.540 or made do you remember that one my own do you remember that one my own so they basically would

00:37:58.900 bring it was always women but they would bring women and who had celebrity crushes and then they

00:38:04.200 would say like i want my own version of this person and the one episode i remember is adam levine

00:38:10.560 like she was like obsessed with adam levine she's like i love maroon 5 i love adam levine

00:38:14.720 whoa i want my own adam levine so they would pick three guys that bear somewhat of a passing

00:38:19.700 resemblance to him they never looked like them right and then they would give them a makeover

00:38:23.620 and like dress them and then they would put them in these little moving sets and so she would sit in

00:38:29.120 the audience and then they would move the set and it would be like a new guy and then he would

00:38:33.680 either i don't remember if it was lip singing or if it was live but he would like he was singing

00:38:37.900 that one fucking song that's really popular for maroon 5 the oh fuck there's a lot of them all

00:38:45.280 their songs are so they all sound the same i can't even sing the melody in my fucking that one that

00:38:49.780 one of them sang that one and then the other one was the sunday morning one sunday morning rain is

00:38:54.420 that one and i remember i remember she ended up picking that guy but my sister and i would watch

00:39:00.160 and we were like wow this is genius you can get your own and they look nothing like them right

00:39:04.840 and every time we talk about that show no one remembers that shit yeah i don't remember it

00:39:10.140 either it's like it was like yeah it's like my own i was like dude this is the funniest show in the

00:41:08.980 guys or girls it's for guys guys do it okay yeah he says all the men should sign up for it oh you

00:41:15.160 gotta sign up that's why i said his mind paywall oh my god when i've seen um i made a video once and

00:41:22.500 i was this guy was like you know don't get distracted by women in your 20s like they're

00:41:27.080 trying to distract you from your bread like making making all that paper and i was like okay what man

00:41:32.380 is making a bunch of money in their 20s i wasn't doing that in my 20s i'm not a man but right i mean

00:41:37.520 i guess i wouldn't know because i'm just a but a simple woman but i think i remember he was saying

00:41:43.860 that about you know women like scam men out of their money and like this whole gold diggers

00:41:49.100 ideology and i remember saying i'm like i don't understand like you guys are absolutely always

00:41:55.080 getting scammed but it's by men like that yeah like you're getting scammed by men who you believe

00:42:00.760 are like teaching you the tools right to get women and it's honestly really simple i feel like to get

00:42:07.580 women to like you it's just like be nice to them and pay attention yeah i've always been so baffled

00:42:13.600 by the that like narrative being like you need to do this and that you gotta fucking a rabbit's

00:42:21.120 fun yeah you gotta say all this shit you gotta make sure you're standing this way yeah um yeah

00:42:27.900 and it's like fuck just don't be a fucking weirdo it's like it's so easy it's really quite simple

00:42:33.340 yeah and it's like even i don't know even even caleb has told me he's like if you just like get

00:42:39.220 a hobby like you could easily find a girl yeah you just find an interest right ask a question and

00:42:44.540 listen like go to like a fucking party with your friends you'll there'll be other people there

00:42:50.920 probably right and you'll be a weirdo and don't be a weirdo yeah i don't know i feel like they

00:42:56.020 overcomplicate shit like that a lot yeah it's because yeah i think they do this cool thing where

00:43:01.800 they don't really see like women as like people which i think it's pretty awesome and um they're

00:43:07.460 really on to something yeah so it kind of just fucks with how they like navigate the interaction

00:43:11.380 because they're it's not just like trying to listen to them and talk to them it's they're just being

00:43:15.820 like how can i put my wiener how can i sufficient way to put my wiener in this bitch let's think as

00:43:22.280 she's standing there listening yeah he's saying it out loud how doth my wiener

00:43:27.020 excuse me he has a fedora yeah it's it's it's so crazy too because i always think

00:43:33.080 if you like you said if you just weren't a fucking weirdo it'd be a lot easier yeah but i think to

00:43:38.380 overcomplicate it with all of these like tips and tricks and like books and shit like yeah my my

00:43:45.620 boyfriend actually knew this guy who he like went to our gym at one point but he had asked my boyfriend

00:43:52.020 like so like how do you talk to women and he goes i don't because i'm in a relationship and he's like

00:43:58.280 no but like me before that he goes i don't know i just like like i would any other right yeah like

00:44:04.040 he was like no but like specifically like he was asking my boyfriend these really pointed questions

00:44:08.320 and he's like i honestly don't know how to answer your question he goes well it's okay because i

00:44:12.300 actually bought a book to learn and it was it was like a pickup artist book and this was last year

00:44:16.900 oh no i can't even i don't even i was in such disbelief that we're like in the 2023 at the

00:44:23.620 point at that point yeah and he bought a physical copy of like a pickup artist book that's like crazy

00:44:29.160 he's like i'm gonna read this and then i'll know for sure and he was like no what yeah what do you

00:44:35.080 mean no what could possibly be in that book i'm frightened what do you mean no what then they'll know

00:44:40.580 yeah what i've always loved the term that they use the word artist for it to like pick up artist

00:44:45.920 is so funny like they're just like in like a fucking what are those saying the beret yeah

00:44:51.860 i'm like an easel yeah they're like it's the same thing yeah like they called picasso a madman in

00:44:57.960 his time too yeah i'm a starving artist starving pickup artist starving and i also i always think

00:45:05.800 too like if let's just say pickup artists do go on dates what do you tell people you do for a living

00:45:10.040 right do you tell them you're a pickup artist right yeah if if that does happen which i'm sure it

00:45:15.740 doesn't but if it does like if they got a date if they're like if they're a practicing pickup that's

00:45:19.780 their job yeah yeah they're practicing or is it more like a spider-man thing we're like right

00:45:24.820 you gotta keep yeah they gotta keep a secret their alter ego yeah yeah they're peter parker and

00:45:29.540 spider-man or like clark or kirk connor's lizard yeah until he turns into the lizard yeah he has to

00:45:36.980 like keep it a secret and then one day she finds like a fucking like she's like oh my god you just

00:45:43.640 missed it the pickup artist was right outside he goes wow i can't believe i missed it and then yeah

00:45:47.720 she finds like a cross necklace yeah puts the pieces together he's laying upside down in keys to

00:45:58.300 the vip to give her a kiss on the lips i gotta watch that show today that's so good there's a lot of

00:46:05.440 episodes on youtube i gotta watch that show too to be honest i i feel like water can i get some

00:46:14.560 fucking water i'm gonna stop this podcast if i don't get some water i'll burn this place to the

00:46:21.400 ground i don't get some water i'll put out with the water was that the bit did it say chug your

00:46:44.540 come to violence thankfully yeah i was this close okay let me read some of the comments on this

00:46:50.820 video this says this one says they ain't worth it and the good part is that you could sniff them from

00:46:56.140 the onset of your head is in the game what huh did you just cast a spell on me you can sniff them

00:47:03.500 yeah the good part is that you could sniff them from the onset of your head is in the game

00:47:08.600 and then the that song from high school musical starts playing

00:47:12.400 do you think drew seeley's mad that he wasn't in that movie but he used his vocals

00:47:20.940 probably yeah i always think i would be pissed i would be super mad and then they didn't even

00:47:24.940 bring him back for the second or third one didn't even bother they were like we got what we needed i

00:47:28.780 got this i'll take it from here pal imagine you're in like final auditions and then they're

00:47:34.940 like great voice horrible face gotta put that voice in someone else's face yeah my bad yeah that

00:47:41.500 sucks i hope he got paid for it drew see i assume he got i mean like well yeah do you think he still

00:47:47.780 gets royalties from it i don't know i don't know you big fan of the high school musical series yes

00:47:51.980 me too i'm a big fan which one's your fave two obviously yeah the right answer of course yeah

00:47:57.740 two is the best i don't want to hear any guff about it from anybody it will be blocked it will

00:48:03.280 be deleted when you comment that disagrees this next one says they don't deserve rights protection

00:48:08.520 or to be defended either okay whoa oh oh and their username has the joker in it so

00:48:16.480 whenever men compare themselves to the joker or anyone of that like caliber i'm always like

00:48:25.940 you know what happened right like you know what he did right that's even more frightening like

00:48:30.420 they're yeah they're like patrick bates they'll compare themselves to him too yeah yeah it's

00:48:34.820 interesting how uh because the joker he's i'm trying to like think of why they would want to be like the

00:48:44.520 joker just they want to kill kill people like kill someone on live television yeah that's the only

00:48:52.080 reason i can think yeah they want to be able to do that and then dance on the steps outside yeah

00:48:56.560 i don't know yeah pretty interesting okay you're talking about the joaquin phoenix joker yeah that's

00:49:02.660 that's who he has oh he has that one okay not not like he's like he's ledger i could kind of get

00:49:07.780 because that's just like a great performance great character yeah yeah um but it's always

00:49:12.360 the joaquin one's weird yeah it's always him that one's a little too grounded in reality

00:49:17.860 yeah that's what's a little some of you are for sure the joker like i don't know yeah don't you

00:49:22.580 don't need to aspire like you're walking in those shoes right now girl yeah and you're just as pale

00:49:27.660 as him without the white face paint just as horrifying just as scary there's green because you

00:49:33.260 haven't seen the sun and greasy yeah you don't shower it's real it's real hat on a hat for them

00:49:38.880 uh this one says put their acting skills to the test and tell them when does my free trial end

00:49:44.780 and then he put the sunglasses emoji okay the fuck does that mean okay what the fuck does that

00:49:53.420 mean i think it's because he says women are really good actors and they won't show you their real

00:50:00.040 personality or like who they really are for like six months to a year whoa i feel like most people

00:50:05.540 do that when they start dating you know you call it like the lying phase like you just fit you fib

00:50:10.560 about shit like little shit right not actual lies but like things were like for example if you go

00:50:16.860 somewhere and you're they're like do you want anything and you're like just probably like a

00:50:20.340 small like yeah okay like i'd be lying right like what'd you do today i'm like nothing really you know

00:50:26.680 what i mean like i just like fib about little shit right because you just want you want to be

00:50:30.940 impressive right you want to like portray yourself as like a cooler version of yourself yeah i was like i

00:50:35.980 think all parties do that when you first start dating because you want to like yeah show off a

00:50:39.820 little bit like yeah that you're awesome right yeah you're like oh just just reading reading all

00:53:11.660 dropping logs dropping the kids off at the pool dropping the kids off at the pool

00:53:16.520 you know yeah that's so interesting what's something silly that you fibbed about when you

00:53:21.660 were first dating um I'm trying to think um I can't really remember anything I mean I'm sure there

00:53:30.220 must have been like tiny stuff like being like yeah I was just so busy writing all day you just

00:53:35.380 filming and writing got this show later you're unemployed yeah yeah yeah definitely yeah probably

00:53:43.100 shit like that trying to make it seem like I was like like smarter or like cooler than I was but

00:53:48.820 yeah I was just didn't last long the facade yeah yeah I remember one of the ones one of the fibs I

00:53:55.220 told my boyfriend and he knows this too now but like he used to always chew orange gum okay like orange

00:54:01.760 flavored gum and I hated that gum like I just hated the because if you're kissing like I can

00:54:07.840 taste it and I just there was something about it I was just like hey I couldn't stand it yeah so

00:54:12.400 then and I didn't know how to tell him and I even like asked my sister I'm like how do I bring up that

00:54:16.100 I really hate the taste of that gum and then she was like just tell him and I was like oh it's still

00:54:21.080 too early to be honest so then I made up a story about how like I ate orange flavored gum once and I

00:54:27.140 vomited and so every time I tasted it makes me want to vomit which is not technically a lie

00:54:31.640 right the build-up is the vehicle is a falsity but yeah the messaging was true right um and so

00:54:38.840 he was like oh my gosh and so he just threw all of it out and never bought it ever again

00:54:42.180 wow and then I didn't know he was gonna do that and then about two years in I was like can I tell

00:54:47.040 you something I have something to confess to you I just didn't like orange gum yeah I just really I

00:54:53.040 just hated the taste of it it just like it grossed me out does he ever so he quit cold turkey right

00:54:57.320 yeah wow off the orange gum wow the power of the power of love yeah really the things you sacrifice

00:55:05.320 for the ones you love orange gum okay I'll read I'll read one more of these this last video okay so

00:55:13.080 in this video the same guy talks about how he's never gonna get married but if he did he would

00:55:17.940 absolutely not get down on one knee to propose to a woman he says kneeling is for beta boys that's

00:55:24.240 super funny yeah what's the alternative then standing like a man standing yeah he gets on

00:55:30.640 stilts so he's even taller taller yeah or he could do the the shane dawson one where like he was on

00:55:36.280 both both knees you ever see that picture that's fucking my favorite shit ever do that that's a power

00:55:42.920 move wearing that fucking pig shirt yeah yeah get on both knees

00:55:46.800 that's crazy yeah switch it up never let them know your next move yeah do a handstand yeah sit

00:55:55.380 in a deep squat right so legs will why the handstand works because you're still doing the ring up to

00:56:02.440 them yeah but you're sort of peacocking you're you're showing your dominance by you know showing

00:56:08.560 that you know you're breaking the norm yeah you're really sticking it to your fiancee yeah because one

00:56:13.220 hand handstand one hand with the ring and you go ma'am my lady yeah would you make me the happiest

00:56:19.800 man you're gonna marry me or some shit yeah i'm not a fucking cuck so yeah i'm not a cuck boy so i'm

00:56:26.180 not gonna obviously not gonna kneel i'm not gonna put go on my knee for anything did you go on your

00:56:30.080 knee yeah i did yeah like a fucking beta okay i'm gonna go on too like you said yeah i went down

00:56:37.840 one knee and uh somehow she said yes even though i was on one knee it's embarrassing she said although

00:56:44.920 this is the most beta pose i've ever seen yeah okay yeah fine fine i'll look past it i'm willing

00:56:50.880 to make peace with the beta pose that you're sticking and i was dressed like the joker naturally

00:56:56.280 yeah and you were on late night yeah with a gun in your hand yeah threatening jenna to marry you

00:57:02.300 and it worked and shockingly she said yes can you believe it you want to know how i got this wife

00:57:14.640 it's pretty crazy it's actually crazy what people will do okay this comment says uh i think it's

00:57:22.200 supposed to say kneel but it says knee down for nobody but god god i'm proposing to god i think he's

01:01:34.060 get into your you know your what's it called your 401k your you start a 401k you you know your s&p

01:01:41.640 ish is yeah whatever yeah sure i mean obviously i know all the things you're saying yeah obviously

01:01:48.660 i just like for them you know yeah you gotta explain it to all of them advice obviously i know

01:01:54.620 obviously i do yeah i think too with this like stay single try to make millions instead okay uh i think

01:02:02.920 if those three things you do those three things those three things could be known as the keys to the vip

01:02:06.940 what if those three are the keys those are the keys yeah they're hiding in plain sight damn we

01:02:14.480 could have been a vip this entire time and also what's the point of having like a bunch of money

01:02:19.440 if you don't have like a a nice person to share it share it with i know literally it's like truly

01:02:25.060 that simple you're just gonna sit on a pile of cash like scrooge mcduck yeah diving into coins

01:02:32.120 with no with no girl that's so weird he's not a fucking beta so obviously right he's not getting

01:02:39.960 on his knees or anything obviously but he will dive into a pool of gold coins yeah real men in an old

01:02:46.280 timey swimsuit yeah yeah what are those three little nephews called i forget donald duck had

01:02:51.920 three nephews they swam in the coins too yeah their names were like goofy braxton

01:02:59.600 and like robber yeah donald duck jr yeah donald duck jr i forget what are those names i don't know

01:03:06.480 huey dewey okay yeah i was pretty close we were super close we were in the neighborhood

01:03:11.780 okay so just to wrap things up now that we've talked about scrooge mcduck that's actually perfect

01:03:19.020 segue yeah to my closing statements okay um but what would you say is your best piece of advice

01:03:26.320 for people who are trying to get into stand-up or maybe they're pursuing it or maybe they're

01:03:29.820 actively and they're feeling a little stuck like what would you say is your best piece of advice

01:03:33.320 for them

01:03:33.760 uh my best piece of advice for someone in stand-up or getting into it i think would be

01:03:45.200 um write jokes that you think like jokes that you would laugh at jokes that you don't you're not

01:03:54.880 trying to fucking be like oh i think people will like this yeah you go oh i think this is funny

01:04:00.300 because if you think it's funny and you're having fun with it and you're you're hyped on it then that

01:04:05.180 is contagious and it and it translates a lot better than it would be if you were trying to write for

01:04:09.480 someone yeah and and always yeah i just think just fucking having written stuff is good and really

01:04:17.600 trying to focus on the writing yeah more than the performance totally uh and yeah don't just do

01:04:23.280 fucking crowd work write a fucking joke if you're gonna do that just be fucking go on fucking tiktok

01:04:29.360 and do that shit that's what i do that's not like what stand-up is i think the same thing yeah it's

01:04:35.260 part of it it can be yeah i feel like you're so right though like a quality joke written like

01:04:40.480 it's so much better than yeah some fucking crowd work clip on tiktok which is all like

01:04:47.580 exists of stand-up which is crazy because that like that kind of mentality is why when they see

01:04:53.680 actual stand-up people like it's like young kids who don't know anything about stand-up they're like

01:04:58.140 oh there's no fucking crowd work right yeah that's not stand-up like that's literally not stand-up at

01:05:03.380 all yeah i know it's like it's frustrating but it's like i get it because it's a good way to

01:05:09.220 advertise it without burning material but it's like now it's like informing a wrong way to behave

01:05:16.980 at shows and people are like that's so true it's like yell shit yeah to try and like get in the

01:05:22.240 video yeah and then it's like no i'm actually i actually really wrote i really worked really hard

01:05:27.720 on this i really would like to say it but i need you to shut the hell up yeah so you get these jokes

01:05:31.480 off yeah i promise this is funnier than what you're saying i got paid to be here you paid to

01:05:36.940 be here let's all stay in our lanes right i think that's that's very true and i think you're right

01:05:42.340 the decorum at shows is like shifting rapidly because of shit like that which is annoying

01:05:46.980 yeah even at just like not even comic like comedy shows too i feel like just at like music shows too

01:05:52.500 yeah like the etiquette is fucking like non-existent now um but not to sound like a boomer but back in

01:06:01.440 my day you would shut up and you would watch the show and you would enjoy yourself yeah and you'd be

01:06:07.740 respectful to other people yeah yeah that's i think that's great advice honestly especially the writing

01:06:13.260 what you think is funny because i feel like especially with the access that social media has

01:06:18.760 given people yeah it's really easy to rip off bits and jokes from other people because you're

01:06:23.680 just like watching what's what's viral what's like oh this and even me referencing caleb this whole

01:06:29.400 episode but he's another comic i know but he was like saying that the the gift of virality has kind

01:06:34.900 of watered down a lot of comedy because it's like people are just reposting tweets or they're taking

01:06:39.500 like viral tweets and putting them in yeah and they're like oh this is my stand-up right yeah there's

01:06:44.000 no original thought because it's just being passed yeah it's just being like regurgitated

01:06:48.260 over and over again yeah in a million different fonts right which is why i think comics like you

01:06:52.860 like caleb chris fleming like just unbelievably funny just like a really unique perspective on

01:06:58.600 things oh wow so i really appreciate you coming on the show wow thanks yeah thanks for having me
