Today's episode is brought to you by Gray Block Pizza.
00:00:06.220
Today's guests are two comedians who have just broken back into performing live stand-up comedy.
00:00:12.240
That's right, this weekend, they were in Oklahoma City and Salt Lake City.
00:00:18.440
And I'm just really curious as to what their experience was like.
00:00:23.800
We have comedian Brad Williams and comedian Jeff Dye.
00:00:48.520
I remember the first time I ever met you, Brad.
00:00:57.280
And you came up on a motorbike, like a small motorbike.
00:01:08.220
Where I was growing up, they had one man who was kind of a smaller man that did mechanic work.
00:01:17.260
I remember they would sometimes open the hood, put him under there, and then close the hood.
00:01:34.740
And then you pulled up at a pretty good clip of speed.
00:01:43.920
Well, you know, that Scare Tactics show that you mentioned, like, they basically, every
00:01:54.640
Make him act like a teddy bear at first, but then I'll run around.
00:01:57.560
And then the next one's like some lab where it's a giant rat.
00:02:00.240
And they're like, oh, put Brad in a giant rat costume.
00:02:03.080
It's like everything is based around a little person, but the guy not got no glory.
00:02:06.580
Yeah, and I totally remember that because that Razor scooter released these electric scooters
00:02:14.500
back in the day, but, like, they had one that looked really cheesy, and then they had
00:02:22.700
And I'm like, all these other kids around USC get to class on a bike.
00:02:27.360
I'm riding my West Coast chopper Razor scooter.
00:02:38.160
Yeah, and I think, yeah, I booked you for, like, a comedy show on campus or something.
00:02:44.880
You were, like, how many dwarves you went to UFC?
00:02:50.380
I'm not good with schools and letters and stuff.
00:02:52.600
Yeah, it was a dwarf UFC happening in a ball pit at Chuck E.
00:02:56.500
Dude, don't start something that's going to be huge.
00:02:59.260
No, it was me, and then there was a teacher there.
00:03:10.480
Everyone thought that, like, that's how I got in.
00:03:13.580
It's that, oh, well, your dad works at USC, so that's how you got in.
00:03:17.120
It's like, no, I got in because they needed something.
00:03:22.360
Also, I have a regular brain, and I'm a regular person.
00:03:27.500
No, yeah, yeah, he got in because he cast a spell on the president.
00:03:31.320
Dude, I've always wondered, like, do you, like, you know, is it okay to talk about being somebody
00:03:36.660
that is a small person or smaller or a little bit different?
00:03:40.100
But what I'm thinking is, like, sometimes I'll see, like, you know, they have LGTBQ community.
00:03:45.820
But they don't factor in, like, but little people don't get factored into that.
00:03:55.300
It's, yeah, LPA, which was started by Billy Barty, the actor, and then, actually, when
00:04:02.860
they started, they were called Midgets of America.
00:04:09.520
So, yeah, when they started it, it was called Midgets of America.
00:04:19.780
And so, yeah, so there's a lot of dwarves that have boned each other because of this man.
00:04:26.200
Oh, because then it's a place to meet other people that are smaller.
00:04:31.780
Without this guy, we wouldn't have all those shitty shows on TLC.
00:04:41.620
Yeah, but, like, we're a family of little people.
00:04:44.740
And they're literally like, we're just like everyone else.
00:04:48.400
If you're just like everyone else, then why is this?
00:05:03.900
In that photo, it looks like the dad is sitting in the tall dude's lap.
00:05:08.180
Yeah, well, what fascinated me about this show, I remember specifically, was they ran a pumpkin ranch.
00:05:14.180
And the fact, in my mind, yeah, it blew my mind that you had small people growing the largest vegetable, I remember.
00:05:31.200
It would make way more sense that they're like, oh, they have a strawberry patch.
00:05:48.180
Do you sometimes, but sometimes, do you ever look at, like, a gay person or a diverse person, a black person, maybe a Vietnamese?
00:05:58.920
Oh, this is going to be a fun question for me to answer.
00:06:02.120
And does it ever, but you know what I'm talking about?
00:06:04.040
I know, but I just love that you're searching for words to feel okay.
00:06:07.760
Like, black, Filipino, you know, people like, you know.
00:06:24.480
Like, if you see, like, if you're walking down the street, like, in, like, a white neighborhood and there's a black guy and he's walking down the street, is there camaraderie if you guys see each other kind of?
00:06:36.620
There's not that instant camaraderie, but I used to do a bit about this, and it's real.
00:06:42.760
Like, I loved how black people would react to seeing dwarves.
00:07:01.600
Always, like, insanely friendly, but yet kind of insulting.
00:07:09.620
That is, like, what, do you see a guy in a wheelchair and just be like, yo, legs, what's going on?
00:07:15.980
But also, it does feel kind of good, because you're like, this black guy's being really nice to me, but also, I should get mad at him for doing this.
00:07:35.040
I was at USC, and then I was on the street where all the fraternities are.
00:07:42.120
It's where all fraternity and sorority rows are.
00:07:45.020
And I was with a few of my friends, and, like, a group of black guys came up to me and my buddies and just started, like, aggressively, positively complimenting me, but then calling me the end word.
00:08:21.880
Yeah, so there's not, like, now, if I walk down the street and I see another person who has some kind of disability, either they're in a chair or another dwarf, then we give each other, like, a nod, like, what's up?
00:08:38.720
It doesn't go into, like, because, yeah, I always wondered, like, if you see a black guy and they're in, like, a play, like, because, you know, a lot of black people feel like outliers kind of, you know, in the U.S., and so I was wondering, like.
00:08:47.600
Like, but they don't do that with each other, either.
00:08:49.060
It's not, like, black people nod at, like, Puerto Ricans or Vietnamese or, like, you know what I'm saying?
00:08:56.220
Like, lesbians aren't, like, what's up, black guy?
00:09:00.260
But I don't think they do that with each other.
00:09:02.740
You're the closest thing we have to a black guy right now.
00:09:08.140
Wait, so when you're in Texas with the guys that you went to, like, high school with and stuff, and you guys are just, it's just you guys back home.
00:09:22.820
I think people definitely maybe stole a packet of passes.
00:09:27.040
Yo, look what I got these passes we can use while we're at home tonight.
00:09:31.500
I think people, somebody definitely stole a packet of passes from the principal's office.
00:09:36.620
Man, like, I just remember, Ralphie Mae would always just say it and not care.
00:09:47.260
I feel like he was, like, a kind of a weight, you know, like a, like he had that, like he had a, he had a.
00:09:56.460
If you get to a certain level of something where it's, like, you feel like maybe, like, you're an outcast or something.
00:10:03.300
So I can say, it's like, I've been to Chattanooga.
00:10:05.280
It's like the most segregated place in the world.
00:10:16.360
And Chattanooga's definitely a little racist anyway.
00:10:20.820
And if he's a big, fat, white guy, he was probably on the white side.
00:10:26.380
Like, if your high school's, like, the Nougars.
00:10:35.600
I don't know if it's a high school or a college in Oklahoma where, like, their mascot is,
00:10:49.920
I know a kid that I think went to a school and the Midget was a mascot, a Fighting Midgets
00:10:53.900
Fightin' Midgets mascot, Dickinson High School.
00:11:04.140
They changed it from the Midgets to the Mustangs?
00:11:08.280
The little people of America have more clout than all of Native Americans.
00:11:13.260
Because, like, the Redskins, they're just like, we're not changing them, man.
00:11:16.620
In fact, on opening day, we're going to bring out some Native Americans.
00:11:19.460
We'll pay them some money, put them in Chiefs jerseys or whatever, Redskins jerseys.
00:11:22.720
And say, no, we're cool with it, before they even consider changing it.
00:11:27.300
We'll have Chief Wahoo from the Cleveland Indians, who's just a white guy who's, like, riding
00:11:39.220
No, I don't know the guy, but I'm saying, like, the Indians, you know why they're called
00:11:48.500
No, they were called the Cleveland Spiders, and then they had, like, the first ever Native
00:11:55.140
And then they got, like, a second Native American, and they were the only team that had, like,
00:12:00.700
And so one of the guys on the Cleveland Spiders at the time goes, man, we should start calling
00:12:08.460
And they were like, yeah, it'd make us look super progressive, and it'd be good.
00:12:12.540
So they literally started calling them the Cleveland Indians.
00:12:17.120
The original Chief Wahoo was actually, he looked a little less racist.
00:12:20.880
He kind of looked like one of these Simpsons guys.
00:12:24.560
And that's the thing, Judd Apatow has that great joke they did on the Tonight Show.
00:12:27.500
It was, like, any drawing of a Jewish person is inherently anti-Semitic.
00:12:31.960
Because, like, if I handed you a paper and said, draw a Jewish person, and then you hand
00:12:34.940
it back to me, it's going to look pretty offensive.
00:12:36.860
Because you're trying to draw the attributes of the person.
00:12:46.720
And then they had to, like, redo it because Native Americans and people were very upset.
00:12:52.220
The new one, they just gave him veneers, made him red.
00:12:58.940
And also, Chief Wahoo is supposed to mean, like, celebrating Indians.
00:13:06.580
Like, all the Indian stuff is pretty well-intentioned.
00:13:09.240
It's just amazing to me that they changed the name to the Cleveland Indians after they
00:13:15.860
But that's kind of nice, though, when you think about it.
00:13:17.520
Yeah, they thought they were doing, like, a funny, cool thing.
00:13:19.680
Yeah, but, like, just imagine if all teams did that.
00:13:21.840
Like, when Jackie Robinson first went on the Dodgers.
00:13:24.660
They're like, well, we're not the Dodgers anymore.
00:13:34.300
Oh, they were called the Atlanta Black Crackers.
00:13:37.240
Because they were kind of saying, like, we're like a team of white boys.
00:13:39.660
I don't know if that's how that worked, but they were the...
00:13:42.160
The Atlanta Crackers played first in the Southern Association game, baseball, 1902.
00:13:49.500
Yeah, and I don't know if that's why they were called that, but I think the origins
00:14:00.780
I don't even have time for the Jazz Museum, because I just...
00:14:08.860
And I stayed over there so much, because I just love baseball so much.
00:14:14.500
Like, this guy's been in there for like six hours.
00:14:18.620
But yeah, they were called the Atlanta Crackers.
00:14:22.740
And I think that they were doing that as like an FU to the White League.
00:14:27.940
Well, because when I saw that high school was called the Fightin' Midgets, I'm like, I want
00:14:35.500
If the intentions are good, I think that's how I measure it.
00:14:38.300
Not everyone measures it that way, but that's how I measure it.
00:14:40.060
That, and it's like, you're naming your school the Fightin' Midgets.
00:14:44.140
That means you think that the midget is intimidating.
00:14:57.800
What's worse, being ignored and acting like you're not a thing?
00:15:01.020
Or being acknowledged and dealing with whatever kind of uncomfortability of that difference
00:15:07.320
And because the worst thing you could do to anyone who is, quote, unquote, different
00:15:12.000
is ignore that person and ignore the difference.
00:15:16.380
Like, if I see a guy, it happened this weekend.
00:15:26.600
And right in the front row, a female dwarf sat right in the front row.
00:15:31.800
And it's just, it was like, okay, I have to mention this.
00:15:35.420
I can't not talk about the fact that there's a dwarf right there in the front row.
00:15:57.200
And that moment would have never happened if I would have just ignored, like, oh, I don't
00:16:11.060
It's like, I'm friends with lots of different people in walks of life.
00:16:13.800
I don't just blanketly think I'm a good person and not knowing.
00:16:16.320
You know how many people are like, we've got to fight for these trans rights.
00:16:20.560
And they're like, well, I've never met a trans.
00:16:28.300
It's hectic to like, yeah, I think it, but naturally you feel a certain way.
00:16:32.940
Like, naturally you kind of know how to behave.
00:16:36.420
And then you can tell if somebody else is upset.
00:16:43.200
But I like that you're asking him, like, questions.
00:16:45.340
I mean, you guys have probably been friends for a long time, but you'll ask him questions.
00:16:48.820
And that's, I think, way more respectful than having someone and just completely, like, my buddies,
00:16:53.940
my buddy Nico, his son has like a, like, kind of a birth defect in his hand.
00:17:10.220
And we didn't have to be this like weird, like, hey, what happened to your son?
00:17:13.760
You, I think that's how you should address those things.
00:17:17.120
Usually like, if I'll see somebody that's missing a limb or something, I'll just ask him, hey, what
00:17:23.220
He's like, man, I'm just trying to get a Starbucks.
00:17:24.480
He's like, just tell me what happened to your leg.
00:17:40.080
I'm sitting here with Brad Williams and Jeff Dye, both comedians.
00:17:47.580
And you guys, I feel like, are both of the first guys who have gone and performed live
00:18:13.840
Well, I guess, I mean, my first, I guess, like, I don't have any fear of, like, people
00:18:22.620
I had thoughts about, like, as a comedian being on stage, since there's going to be less
00:18:27.600
people in the audience, would I feel, like, bummed out?
00:18:35.160
And then I started thinking from a business standpoint, like, okay, well, is this business
00:18:39.960
Like, are these waitresses going to make enough money tonight?
00:18:47.300
Because now they've got a reason to go, hey, man, we have a limited audience.
00:18:50.880
So, you know, it's only, we have to cap them out at 100.
00:18:53.280
I can't, like, work a bonus deal or anything like that.
00:18:58.440
Yes, because everyone's so, audiences, and you guys will both know this, and maybe anyone
00:19:02.980
that listens that isn't a comedian, you might not know, but audiences are famously, and more
00:19:07.620
so than ever, now that podcasts have blown up, people didn't used to know comedians.
00:19:12.260
They just went to the improv, and they'd maybe hope to see one famous person, and then all
00:19:16.120
the other comedians, they'd be like, this is great.
00:19:17.720
I would say in the last eight years, I've witnessed with the success of you and Segura
00:19:23.460
and basically everyone that's on this wall, is now people, if they haven't seen you before,
00:19:31.840
And then the vibe shifts to this weird, like, make me laugh, bitch.
00:19:34.880
Like, that's the vibe, where I'm unfunny until proven funny.
00:19:37.860
And then it kind of is like, oh, he is funny, and I have never even heard of him, because
00:19:42.180
I'm shocked that someone is funny that I don't know, right?
00:19:49.460
Like, one dude tipped our server, like, 200 bucks.
00:19:51.820
All these people were gushing to me, like, oh, my God, thank you.
00:19:59.660
Did you feel, what were some of you guys' fears going into it, before we even talk about
00:20:06.260
Like, did you have any, like, just, or thoughts, even just thoughts?
00:20:09.600
I wasn't worried about the shows, and in terms of, like, you look out in the audience and
00:20:13.560
sounds different because it's at a third capacity or a half capacity or
00:20:18.220
My philosophy is, okay, or I could stay home and there's no show.
00:20:25.240
So, and yeah, you're not going to just flip a switch and we all come back and it's exactly
00:20:30.620
We got to gradually get into it and, you know, kind of test the waters a little bit, and
00:20:35.180
then if it's good, then we'll move up to the next level.
00:20:37.740
I was more worried about the travel than anything.
00:20:40.520
That, and it was, for me, like, the worst part for me wasn't the shows.
00:20:53.300
But traveling, that was weird because you had to wear the mask the whole time, which
00:20:59.560
when you go to the grocery store, it's like, okay, it's an hour, but when you're flying,
00:21:03.560
when I'm flying to Oklahoma City, that's six hours of wearing a mask.
00:21:05.340
You don't realize how many snacks you try to sneak in there.
00:21:14.360
And, like, they're not serving food on the plane, so you got to, like, if it's a long flight,
00:21:18.740
you're like, okay, I got to snack up before I get on.
00:21:22.300
And were the seats spaced out on your flights more?
00:21:25.240
Southwest was American Airlines did not give a fuck.
00:21:28.460
You're too famous to fly Southwest, Brad, first of all.
00:21:39.240
So I flew from LAX to Salt Lake City and then Salt Lake City to Seattle.
00:21:43.200
Seattle to LAX because they canceled all these, like, legs of flight.
00:21:52.220
I mean, like, if I see no people, I'm not afraid.
00:21:54.720
Also, I will say, and I know this is going to annoy all the liberal New York comedians
00:21:58.560
that I'm going to say this, but I dealt with it pretty, like, selfishly.
00:22:03.780
I'm wearing the mask out of respect for others.
00:22:05.280
If you want to come hug me, I don't give a shit.
00:22:10.940
Like, for you personally, you're in that group that, according to the science, it's like,
00:22:23.000
Well, I will say, the people that come to my shows obviously seem to not care either.
00:22:29.300
Like, so if they get me sick or I get them sick, fuck them.
00:22:34.840
And so it's like, I'm not hurting Graham Graham.
00:22:38.680
And I know that that's a selfish take, and I'm admitting that I'm selfish, because I
00:22:44.500
And I'm so tired of being at my house with my dog.
00:22:46.500
Like, I tried to do one of those virtual shows.
00:22:58.740
I needed some sort of semblance of what I'm used to.
00:23:01.020
But whenever you got to the club, like, did you feel like...
00:23:04.920
Did they seem really, really excited to, like, be back in business?
00:23:09.960
And the waitstaff was stoked because they had a job.
00:23:17.600
I mean, I'll respect anyone's wishes if they want to stay home, if they want to go
00:23:22.980
But, like, I understand when you say, oh, all the restaurants are closed.
00:23:26.540
There's some people there that just, okay, they can't hunker down for...
00:23:37.820
Like, so, I respect that if they're like, no, I have to go work.
00:23:44.380
Like, laying on each other and sweating and kissing and stuff.
00:23:50.220
And that literally, like, everybody that came in had their temperature taken.
00:23:58.520
When they get sat at their table, the tables are six feet apart.
00:24:03.520
Each comic had their own separate microphone that were sanitized in between the shows.
00:24:11.680
I jokingly brought a mic from home to do, like, gag that...
00:24:23.820
If you see me at the store and then you see me do it again in the improv, you're like,
00:24:32.740
I would come out and I would, like, look like I was, like, disgusted with, like, the microphone.
00:24:37.300
And I would, like, take it out and then put it on the table.
00:24:39.740
And then I'd pull out, like, gold microphone out of my back pocket and pop it in and just
00:24:43.760
And then everyone, like, laughed because they were, like, so confused by me doing the first
00:24:47.480
And then I'd be like, yeah, you know, they don't clean those things.
00:24:49.380
And it just makes me look like this elitist kind of guy.
00:24:52.180
The problem with that bit is it's hilarious if I'm following, like, that, you know, Drew,
00:24:56.880
that stuttering guy, or if I'm following, you know, Theo or something.
00:24:59.940
But if I'm following, like, Miss Pat and I just come out and I'm like...
00:25:05.160
Like, now the crowd's like, what the hell was that, man?
00:25:16.060
You know, those people that aren't welcome at the VFW.
00:25:20.300
And I'm so dumb that I didn't put that together.
00:25:22.040
I was just like, why did nobody laugh this time?
00:25:28.180
Because Jamar Neighbors went on before you, and now you look like a piece of shit.
00:25:33.460
So I brought that same mic and did the same gag each show for this.
00:25:39.460
And I said, take one of those mics down, and I'm going to pretend like they didn't leave
00:25:43.880
And I'm just going to have to do the gag that I brought my own.
00:25:46.660
And that's the thing is, like you said, there's precautions that you could take.
00:25:53.180
Yes, the safest thing would be to just stay in your homes and throw a blanket over you
00:26:00.460
But there are ways to do these shows that it's like, okay, yeah, take temperatures, stay
00:26:07.100
And no one was sat at a table with someone they didn't know.
00:26:10.560
So it's like, yeah, if you came in the same car together, you sat at the same table together.
00:26:18.600
Dude, coronavirus models would be cool if they had like a group of men or women that
00:26:24.620
Put like some sores on us that just act like...
00:26:34.300
Maybe DeLea gets factored in, I think, by his confidence.
00:26:50.400
No one's better looking than Lachlan Patterson.
00:26:53.720
Not generic, but there's that old ideology like, oh, he's too good-looking to be a comedian
00:27:16.280
We're looking at it from the scope of Los Angeles.
00:27:21.880
But yeah, but then you go out to South Dakota to perform for the Fightin' Midgets, and you're
00:27:36.440
Sometimes I don't even know what he's talking about, dude.
00:27:40.300
Jack Knight's a good-looking guy, but nobody would ever go, you're too good-looking to do
00:27:44.640
So they're just going to go, you know, that's his thing's a black guy.
00:27:54.320
Google's like, we know what you mean, white guy.
00:27:58.740
It's like, why is it when Kevin Hart's handsome, they're not like, he's too good-looking for
00:28:02.620
They're like, well, he's short, and he's a black guy.
00:28:13.180
Everyone was going, that guy's too good-looking.
00:28:21.760
Now, I couldn't even imagine it being short again.
00:28:32.160
I'm never going to have it in my whole life, I guess.
00:28:34.320
And so, then I grew it out, and I was like, oh, wow, dude.
00:28:38.880
And some asshole kept taking me to get my hair cut.
00:28:45.860
And I thought she was a man forever because of her name.
00:28:49.680
She was like 90, and they used to call B-O-B-B-I-E.
00:28:52.660
And she used to cut my hair for fucking $4, dude.
00:29:07.980
No mirrors in the whole place where you cut it.
00:29:21.360
Yeah, to me, did it feel like you guys were pioneers?
00:29:24.120
Like, did you guys feel like, holy shit, like...
00:29:39.520
Um, and I must have gotten, and I'm not exaggerating, probably 40 people, 40 comics, either text
00:29:51.740
Annie Letterman's never called my phone in my life.
00:29:54.600
We're like, we'll do snotty texts back and forth.
00:29:56.960
I'm like stoned at a hotel and Annie Letterman's calling.
00:29:59.900
Yeah, she's great to sext with, even though neither one of y'all is going to hook up with
00:30:05.680
She just loves, like, fun conversations, so you can, like...
00:30:11.520
I was bad on the phone with her, because I was just going, like, whoa.
00:30:20.420
And it's like, you guys know that it's just, like, it's comedy, right?
00:30:28.800
So, I was more bummed that, like, in between shows or during the daytime, I couldn't walk
00:30:38.640
I did that, but it was just the same as kind of California, like, where I walked to, like,
00:30:45.480
There was a bar that had, like, an open patio you could sit on.
00:30:52.440
And I just, like, was motor-mouthing, because I was so excited to be back, like, in the
00:30:57.800
sunshine on a patio with, like, a cold beer and, like, food.
00:31:07.400
And that was rough because that club, it's a great club.
00:31:12.300
It's in the middle of this downtown area called Bricktown.
00:31:15.500
And, like, I got sad walking around during the day because it's like, there's a minor league
00:31:25.820
And then the Thunder Stadium is right there, too.
00:31:35.940
I could have gone to a baseball game during the day, come a day early, see the Thunder
00:31:40.680
Like, it would have been a whole great weekend.
00:31:42.680
So, that club's going to be fantastic once everything starts opening up again.
00:31:54.680
It looked like they packed them kind of in on yours.
00:32:03.620
Because I know we talked about you going to Wise Guys.
00:32:11.240
And I only could find, like, a dude tagged you in a photo from, like, the back green room
00:32:17.120
Were you nervous about putting it on social media?
00:32:19.720
I put it on Instagram because that's people that follow you, that, like, they like you,
00:32:25.240
I didn't put it on Twitter because I was nervous that someone would start retweeting it.
00:32:29.880
...calling me an asshole for going out and earning my goddamn living.
00:32:35.120
You're such a hero for staying home with your parents.
00:32:44.860
Nicky, you do grosser things all the time, bragging about anal sex.
00:32:48.580
You're worried about a virus nobody's ever seen.
00:32:53.100
Wear a face mask on your b-hole, dude, if you want to really take care of others.
00:32:57.500
No, like, there's some sort of weird, like, heroism, like, oh, we're such heroes.
00:33:02.820
Well, I noticed, too, that there's this thing where I think a lot of people want you to stay home
00:33:07.660
because it gives them, and I'm not saying this about Nicky, but just it gives them a sense of control
00:33:12.000
and a sense of, like, okay, I don't have to do anything.
00:33:24.960
Well, they only look close to each other compared to where I played, I guess.
00:33:27.740
Well, that, and it's like, okay, I mean, I'll tell you that from this stage,
00:33:31.560
this is a weird angle because, yes, it looks very close to each other, but it's like those
00:33:35.740
photos of the beach where they're, like, so-and-so's on the beach, you know, all the people,
00:33:42.360
and then if you really zoom in, you're like, oh, no, people are separate.
00:33:46.300
Like, they're not, like, throwing a towel, like, on top of each other.
00:33:49.580
Or, like, in the NFL, they always air the game from the side, so it looks like those linemen
00:33:53.980
But if there was, like, a bird's-eye view or if it was north to south, you'd see that there's
00:33:57.500
Yeah, or, like, whenever you get to catch a fish, remember, if you caught a fish and
00:34:01.500
you put it in the back of a fake truck, remember, and took that picture?
00:34:04.320
You're like, look at this big fish, and it was just a little fish.
00:34:07.500
Yeah, but, dude, it was great, and they all had a-
00:34:11.660
They all had a great time, and, yeah, it was just so, like, I got so many messages after
00:34:22.760
Yeah, it's almost like you guys are almost like the Neil Armstrong and whoever the-
00:34:29.560
It was like, I was like, oh, my God, because I've been taking a break from having guests,
00:34:33.900
just having guests on the podcast, just been really tired, and so-
00:34:44.580
Yeah, well, because I didn't do a meet and greet afterward, so I had a moment where I
00:34:49.800
was like, all right, everyone, take out your phones, and I'm going to do some poses on
00:34:54.080
the stage, so you can have a photo and post on your social media, because I didn't want
00:34:58.640
to do a meet and greet, so I started grabbing the mic stand and doing stuff that I would
00:35:01.500
never do, actually, during my act, and I thought, ah, social distancing.
00:35:11.560
I also want to go in and, Brad Williams comic, at Brad Williams comic, was amazing.
00:35:25.360
A tiny person telling jokes isn't going to be good?
00:35:27.840
I thought his jokes, I thought the laughs would be one third of a-
00:35:31.100
How'd they fit all the funny in that little guy?
00:35:38.820
I will admit, my meet and greet got irresponsible.
00:35:40.740
Yeah, because I'm talking a big game on stage, acting like I don't care.
00:35:44.500
I'm doing all these jokes about how I was like, I didn't get my coronavirus from some
00:35:53.880
So I'm doing all these like, and that's riling them up a little.
00:36:04.820
And then afterwards at the meet and greet, they're like, hey, can we get a photo with you?
00:36:07.300
And I was like, yeah, you want a mask or no mask?
00:36:08.780
And they're like, dude, we don't care about that.
00:36:16.980
Then the guys are like starting to lick your face and stuff.
00:36:22.860
It's like they're obviously, you know, if they get sick, they get sick.
00:36:29.280
It's like it's definitely become, I think, a lot of people that are, it's like, you know,
00:36:33.980
do I, am I risking getting sick or am I just, do I think that this thing is
00:36:39.600
Do I feel like we've done everything that we can is like by flattening the curve?
00:36:42.960
It's always kind of two weeks, you know, every time they say like, oh, two weeks to this,
00:36:49.880
It's like, you know, I would never judge anyone for wearing gloves out in public and
00:36:57.680
I just, if you don't want to do that, that, you know, like what's that one guy?
00:37:05.060
We love that he lets us do whatever, whatever the consequences are.
00:37:09.280
That, cause yeah, that's the way that I feel a lot of times.
00:37:16.560
And, and, and like, like my parents are both like 75 and my dad's, my dad's immune compromised.
00:37:22.880
He should not be going out and if you're going to go hang out with him, you shouldn't
00:37:30.300
Like, like if grandma's living with you at your house, then, then you have a different
00:37:36.700
So we're not saying like everyone just go out, but if you're young, healthy, 30, 30 year
00:37:41.580
old, 20 year old, and you're like, I want to go just have a little bit of fun.
00:37:44.900
And there's a very, there was very few times someone was in like my bubble.
00:37:50.060
Like if I look over the entire weekend, there was very few times that anyone is, was even
00:37:56.780
Actually, whenever you go to a comedy club, there's not, there really aren't a lot of
00:37:59.440
times, except for when you're in the green room with other comics, there's not a lot
00:38:03.080
And if you don't do meet and greet, then there's not a lot of times where you interact like
00:38:10.600
I mean, you're almost really the safest person in the room in a lot of ways.
00:38:16.020
And I even, I even, uh, when I was doing my show, I even tried to be at the back of
00:38:21.440
the stage because I thought, Oh, if I talk and like I spit out and like, cause I've done
00:38:25.860
that before where I've been on stage and I've said something and I, and I watched the spittle
00:38:30.480
like fly out of my face and it's like, Oh, that's going right.
00:38:34.040
I had one guy walk on the Friday early show because, um, we had all the microphones out
00:38:40.580
there, uh, all, all three of them, I guess, because I told him to strike one of them and
00:38:45.720
And so the other two microphones are just behind me with the things in and I'm saying like,
00:38:51.580
Even the people that are the most scared who claim that they're the most scared of this.
00:38:55.380
They're, they're all, they're all at home going, Oh, did you watch tiger King?
00:38:58.160
And singing, sending each other like big black eyed dick memes.
00:39:01.320
Like nobody's really that afraid if this is the end of the world, like no one seems to
00:39:06.420
And so the people are like, you know, cheering.
00:39:10.260
And I just started palming the other mics like, uh, Oh, like the other comics, like
00:39:16.540
Well, that's also because you're in Utah and that basketball player, Rudy, no, not Rudy
00:39:23.420
And so I was, I thought it would be funny like to do like a thing like that.
00:39:26.480
Also they sanitize those mics in between and I'm the last guy so that we're going to
00:39:38.280
I mean, this is the whole thing is that we were doing this like responsibly and he's
00:39:45.460
Well, and he also watched the whole show with his mask on.
00:39:49.400
Most people took the mask off for the show and then they'd put their mask back on.
00:39:54.980
Like if you, if in your head, that's where you are fear wise.
00:39:57.640
And then you go to a place and you're like, yeah, I'm going to rough it out.
00:40:07.560
And like I said, if you want, if you want to stay home, I'm not going to make fun of
00:40:10.880
anyone for wanting to stay home, like stay home.
00:40:13.160
But then if someone wants to go out and be responsible and you know, it's like, yeah,
00:40:17.600
if you're, if you're walking up to people and strangers and spitting on them or licking
00:40:25.040
But if, but if everyone's kind of like playing their part and doing their thing, okay, we
00:40:29.760
can start, we start coming back to what we, to what we had before.
00:40:33.260
Well, some people are making it sound like just by leaving your home at any time to do
00:40:40.080
Like you must be some Republican crazy person who thinks this virus isn't real.
00:40:43.760
It's like, no, there's ways to go about your life and try to earn some money and try to
00:40:47.820
like have your job or try to maintain groceries.
00:40:53.220
So I had safely and responsible, not as good, not as what it was, but yeah.
00:41:00.400
I had someone yell at me in my neighborhood for taking my dog for a walk because I didn't
00:41:04.900
It's like, no one, no one walks toward, no one walks towards us.
00:41:15.700
I need to be able to breathe and have some oxygen to hold this back.
00:41:22.060
I should sell tickets to just me walking my dog and just go, it's a midget walking a pit
00:41:32.680
Like just of like Brad just mind his business and he's got like a pit bull.
00:41:34.920
Oh, I got, I probably got some photos on my Instagram about it.
00:41:37.500
Dude, you could have an insane OnlyFans I feel like if you really wanted to.
00:41:43.880
Oh, so this is something that my wife and I did do because we have a four month old child
00:42:02.800
No, you can, but like, did she make good money or was like the same as like a gallon of
00:42:08.880
I don't think you ask what, how much money I think at this point you just accept that
00:42:16.380
If someone says, Hey man, I'm a big fan of Theo Vaughn.
00:42:24.240
You're like, yeah, I get you a couple of pairs.
00:42:26.520
And that's how I'm thinking about like breast milk.
00:42:30.420
But then when I hear the amount, I'm going to go, all right.
00:42:36.260
And so people, what they, they, price wise, what you weren't sending more than a gallon
00:42:46.660
Now, how do you, uh, when they get that, what do you put it in?
00:42:51.480
There's a, uh, there's a bag that there, cause my wife would also, uh, donate breast milk
00:42:56.660
to, to, to some hospitals to where like, like Mad Max.
00:43:03.020
Remember those women they had to like get all their breast milk?
00:43:09.220
Actually, I had a little, I think a girl put some of my mouth once.
00:43:15.180
This is like, after the restaurant, it closed and a family was still in there.
00:43:18.880
This is after the restaurant, it closed and a family was still in there.
00:43:21.880
What did you like, did you like get it from the source?
00:43:24.740
Did you like squirt across the room or how did it happen?
00:43:34.860
A mechanic where they'll put a little person in the engine to work on it.
00:43:41.800
You got a lady at a restaurant, a family dining establishment gave you breast milk from the source.
00:43:47.200
She just put a little on her finger, but what are these men doing with that, Brad, when they get it?
00:43:51.180
They were bodybuilders, and so breast milk allegedly has like a higher protein.
00:43:59.020
So like some bodybuilders really like to have breast milk.
00:44:03.200
So I've got some friends that are in that community, and once they found out, they're like, dude, can we get something?
00:44:12.400
Yeah, I'm not just going to give you my baby's milk.
00:44:15.180
You think I'm squeezing my wife out over here for nothing?
00:44:19.640
Here it says right here, mothers are making thousands of dollars selling their pumped breast milk online to bodybuilders.
00:44:25.700
Some bodybuilders claim breast milk helps build muscle mass more than any other food.
00:44:31.420
You know what's interesting about making money that you feel weird about?
00:44:34.260
Oh, breast milk is actually much lower in protein than cow's milk, and bodybuilders, specifically large men, need much more protein.
00:44:43.840
See if you can find us a chart, actually, that shows like the protein in breast milk compared to other milk.
00:45:01.760
And every time there's been times people go, you going to get him neutered?
00:45:08.840
And then one lady, she goes, oh, you're not going to neuter him, are you?
00:45:12.280
And I was like, oh, one of these people, right?
00:45:19.740
And she goes, oh, well, like what you can do is you can, there's like a stud fee where basically like if you want your dog to have sex,
00:45:27.180
someone will take your dog for a few hours, bring him back, your dog just gets to have sex,
00:45:31.600
and then they come back and hand you a check for a pretty good amount.
00:45:39.260
I'm not going to watch, but like if they want to take him off my hands for a little while, he can go do that.
00:45:42.880
They say, give me a thousand bucks, and then my dog comes back all happy and tired.
00:45:48.600
It's not like a golden doodle girl is going to show up on our doorstep like, yeah, my father lives here.
00:46:02.560
Now, here it says right here in one cup of breast milk.
00:46:12.480
That's not – yeah, because cow's milk has 12 grams.
00:46:18.900
Eight grams in cow's milk whole, eight grams in 1%, eight grams in skim.
00:46:24.780
So it has the same amount as, like, almond milk virtually.
00:46:37.980
They really should because they soak the almonds in water.
00:46:42.880
I mean, they should have, like, a rogue almond milk company, and that's what they would do
00:47:08.700
I'd be like, sure, I'll get you as much as you want.
00:47:11.740
You keep buying her Gatorades every other 7-Eleven, you see?
00:47:16.000
Yeah, it was crazy because, yeah, there's never a good time to go through a pandemic,
00:47:21.120
but, like, we got the baby at home, so it's like – and thankfully, my wife – you
00:47:25.600
know, the baby breastfeeds, so it's like, that's a renewable food source.
00:47:28.540
So it's like, I didn't have to go out and buy baby food or anything like that.
00:47:34.440
Support for this past weekend comes from Manscaped, who is number one
00:47:44.960
They offer precision-engineered tools for your family jewels, baby.

00:49:20.320
As I'm trying to think, after the show, did the energy feel the same in the room during
00:49:28.620
Just because everyone was just so excited to be out.
00:49:32.000
And there were lines that I would say that I would thought, like, all right, this is kind
00:49:37.260
And then it would get a reaction where I'm like, oh, shit.
00:49:44.280
I wrote a real basic joke about how, like, every, when the virus happened, every company
00:49:53.760
Where they're just like, you know, every commercial right now starts off like.
00:50:02.000
And all I said was like, does every, we don't need every company's response to coronavirus.
00:50:15.560
Let me know what you're doing to lower my rates or whatever.
00:50:18.360
But there's literally a commercial from Oreo fucking cookie.
00:50:22.600
I was getting emails from, like, Wells Fargo, like, don't worry.
00:50:38.340
It's like Coca-Cola is like, here's what we're doing.
00:50:45.800
No, I will say the thing I was most, most nervous about.
00:50:50.820
Because this is the longest I've ever gone without doing stand-up for 15 years.
00:51:06.160
Because, like, if I were to get back on stage, I'm like, I have some new stuff I would
00:51:16.460
So, I, you know, I usually get up there and go, I just got back from Mexico so I can go
00:51:22.500
Or, like, if I want to make a joke about something that happened between me and a girl, I'll usually
00:51:27.100
lie and be like, I took this girl on a date, like, you know, the other day.
00:51:34.620
God, I think it was last year I took this girl out on a date.
00:51:37.000
But even that little adjustment was hard to do.
00:51:41.580
But, like, they know I haven't been doing anything.
00:51:47.740
It's something that my neighbor said to me because I'm never home.
00:51:52.920
So, then my neighbor saw me in front of my house and then said something to me like I
00:52:05.580
Like, I would start joking and go, I got to change that.
00:52:09.100
Like, you know that quick math you do in your head?
00:52:12.600
Only a comic would notice or only, like, I, you know, quickly shifted.
00:52:15.960
I would liken it to where if you've ever done those shows at the Laugh Factory on, like,
00:52:21.780
Christmas and Thanksgiving where they feed the homeless and then they have the comics go
00:52:26.880
on stage and perform for the homeless, there's some bits you don't want to do for homeless
00:52:41.440
Like, I remember watching Joe Coy in one of these shows, and this is years ago, and he
00:52:46.680
was doing his bit about, like, orange chicken and Panda Express.
00:53:01.300
But, like, no one knew about it in that room, and you're like, oh, fuck.
00:53:08.460
But that's what a professional does is you have to adjust.
00:53:11.040
And then Paul Mooney just went on stage and destroyed the room.
00:53:26.020
So, I thought he's like, you know, a lot of homeless people are psychos.
00:53:35.640
So, I was jogging the other day, and there's a homeless...
00:53:38.380
Like, I live right by a park over in Westwood, and so there's a lot of homeless now living
00:53:42.420
in the park, but they got campers, the city got campers, and put them up since the virus.
00:53:48.240
Got the campers and put them in different campers.
00:53:55.420
I'll jog by at night, and the other night I'm jogging by, and there's a guy out there
00:54:00.980
He's, like, sitting, like, on the step of the open door of his camper, and he's got music
00:54:04.680
going, and it's, like, James Brown or something.
00:54:09.500
And then behind him, there's a truck, a sewage truck backing up.
00:54:12.740
There's a guy with a hose in a full hazmat suit, and PPP, like, the shield and everything,
00:54:26.840
I'm, like, here you have a homeless guy who's, you know, just doing whatever he wants, and
00:54:34.180
then you have, like, how much is this costing to have this sewage guy?
00:54:37.760
I mean, and literally walking up like he was in Armageddon or something.
00:54:44.600
You're in a pandemic, and this dude's job is to deal with the piss and shit of homeless
00:54:55.020
He's not telling jokes to some middle class people in Utah.
00:55:00.700
Did it feel like it was just, the audiences that came out, did it feel like it was just
00:55:06.580
Did it have that vibe, or just felt like just regular people?
00:55:11.560
All walks of life, because there was definitely people that...
00:55:16.980
Do you ever have someone come to your show and tell you all the struggles that they're
00:55:21.200
going through, and you're like, bro, maybe you shouldn't be spending money on a comedy
00:55:25.340
Like, because there were some people that I got some messages afterward, it's like, oh,
00:55:29.300
yeah, the whole family, like, lost our jobs, and blah, blah, blah, blah, and we haven't
00:55:39.360
But we bought tickets to your show, and I'm like, dude, maybe...
00:55:41.560
And for $50 a ticket, it was worth every penny.
00:55:50.220
But, like, there are some people where you're like, whoa, don't, like, save your money.
00:55:56.020
But then there was some other guy that, because I wasn't doing the meet and greet, I wasn't
00:56:00.860
selling merch, and I got this message from a guy that was like, hey, you didn't sell merch
00:56:05.440
And he goes, so you probably lost out on some money?
00:56:09.480
And he Venmoed me a little bit of money, and I'm like, oh, okay.
00:56:20.860
So, I could if I wanted to, which, now that I think about it, the fact that my Feature Act sold merch,
00:56:24.880
and then we were in the green room together, probably defeated that whole purpose of me
00:56:29.880
Yeah, skipping the meet and greet didn't help anybody.
00:56:46.020
Well, the craziest part was, I used to bring the CD duplicator on the road.
00:56:57.360
It would say, read on it, whenever it, like, started to get the disc.
00:57:00.640
And then you would, you would hear it heating up.
00:57:03.960
So, it would heat really hot, like, in the corner.
00:57:26.700
When people tell me they got that, I'm like, just take this new one for free.
00:57:32.580
And I would go buy the clear cases and put it in.
00:57:35.180
And then get the Xerox and cut the freaking thing and put it in.
00:57:41.620
Now, they already have your album or they can stream it for free.
00:57:45.100
That's what sucks is because merch is a big way for comics to make money.
00:57:48.780
You make an extra two or three hundred bucks, it's huge.
00:57:51.440
It's tough to, like, not have something to sell to them.
00:57:55.600
And so, yeah, you had to leave a lot of money on the table if you didn't sell merch.
00:58:02.500
And if you want to buy some Brad Williams merch and just go to bradwilliamscomedy.com.
00:58:09.600
The good thing is you probably know, like, okay, I'm just going to bring 30 or 40 shirts.
00:58:13.040
You know, it's like I'm only going to bring this many things because it's...
00:58:15.960
So, where you were at Salt Lake City, it was 100 people?
00:58:23.760
Me, it was, like, between 100 and 125 per show.
00:58:28.360
I'll tell you what saved my life during the damn pandemic was being on Cameo.
00:58:36.120
Because St. Patrick's Day happened, and I said on my social media that...
00:58:44.620
I will dress up as a leprechaun and send a message to...
00:59:12.720
That's what Nick was thinking, wasn't it, Nick?
00:59:17.780
Well, I'm just saying, because he and his brother always do everything together.
00:59:22.760
Yeah, and so he just talks shit to these people, and it's so good.
00:59:30.240
That was his WCW kind of, like, gimmick when he would come out wearing that kind of stuff.
00:59:35.940
Remember the old one when he had the things on his...
00:59:41.980
He always kind of looked like just a strong, weird collegiate wrestler with, like, big hair.
00:59:46.240
And then Rick would come out like a dog, and he'd, like, pee on the turnbuckle.
01:00:01.760
That guy will buy your breast milk right there, man.
01:00:17.800
Where drug dealers, like, steal drugs, but then they use them sometimes?
01:00:23.560
Yeah, he seems like he gets hot in his own supply.
01:00:28.800
I love how every sports league shut down and pro wrestling was like, fuck y'all.
01:00:36.800
The dude killed a wrestler on accident and then sued his wife for breach of contract.
01:00:47.100
The only reason he didn't do WrestleMania in Tampa as scheduled is because the city of
01:00:55.780
He's like, do you know how much money this makes me, damn it?
01:01:00.480
There's, like, a lot of pushback now, it seems like, because cities are saying you
01:01:04.980
Didn't we have an article, maybe, something about that, Nick?
01:01:06.820
There's cities saying you can do certain things, but then people are now, like, filing lawsuits
01:01:12.680
Well, something that doesn't make sense to me is, like, they've said, all right, the
01:01:15.020
lockdown's gonna be three more months, but also we're opening businesses.
01:01:27.760
We're now facing legal challenges from residents and state officials alike.
01:01:36.340
They're already giving all their money to people who are stuck at home.
01:01:40.000
But I get the frustration, like, you want to make money, you're willing to go out and
01:01:46.080
make money, and then the government says, no, stay home and don't make money, and you're
01:01:56.200
Like, the government's like, dude, we're trying to kind of save your ass.
01:02:01.160
Well, like, look at, in Texas, it says the attorney general warned that he could take action
01:02:05.740
against the cities of Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas if they do not scale back
01:02:12.600
Then the governor is moving towards reopening the state and said that while businesses have
01:02:18.580
the freedom to reopen or remain closed, local governments do not have the option to keep
01:02:23.340
California faces a dozen lawsuits that claim the state has unjustly closed down gun shops
01:02:28.400
and religious services and infringed on freedoms of speech and assembly.
01:02:31.760
Yeah, what do you think about that about a religious services?
01:02:42.760
And this might make some of the listeners annoyed.
01:02:45.020
People don't take, like, their own responsibility.
01:02:49.260
So, like, they'll smoke for 40 years and then go, isn't it sad I have cancer?
01:02:56.440
Yes, we love you, mom, but, like, you don't get to smoke for 40.
01:02:59.760
And they'll go, oh, well, I need disability because I'm a big fat lardo and I ate McDonald's
01:03:09.560
And so, it's like, they all want health care, but, like, a lot of the health care, like,
01:03:16.140
Like, that's the beauty of freedom is that we get to do what we want.
01:03:19.460
You don't get to do what you want and then be a victim.
01:03:21.940
You don't get to go, like, well, I should be able to jog through the park naked and nobody.
01:03:29.360
You jog through the park naked, stuff's gonna happen.
01:03:33.380
If you're a lion tamer for the circus and the lion bites your arm off, you can't sue the circus.
01:03:38.600
And also, I love that you're a lion tamer, but don't cry to me when your arm gets bitten off.
01:03:43.520
And if you want to eat McDonald's 75 times, I love that, but don't cry to me about your
01:03:49.120
I wonder if there's a way, though, because, like, it's always.
01:03:53.820
If I get coronavirus tomorrow, that's my fault because I'm a stupid idiot who's doing comedy
01:04:00.120
So, it's the same thing of, like, personal responsibility.
01:04:03.120
It's like, it'd be way safer if no one played professional football.
01:04:07.040
But these guys, it's their choice to play professional football.
01:04:11.300
When people are always like, man, these football players keep getting hurt, but it's like,
01:04:17.440
There was a doctor a week ago, I think, who put a picture.
01:04:21.140
He's flying from New York to San Francisco, and it's a full plane.
01:04:24.700
And he's like, I can't believe they said that this plane is full.
01:04:41.040
It's like, we want our creature comforts, but once they start to, like, I don't know.
01:04:50.100
It's like, everyone is so victim-y and soft about that kind of stuff.
01:04:56.880
I guess United is relaxing in social distancing policy these days.
01:05:02.280
But at that point, you have the opportunity if you want to get off the plane.
01:05:07.420
I mean, you have the freedom to make those kind of decisions.
01:05:11.700
I know that when I flew on American Airlines, there was a couple in front of me that had their infant child.
01:05:21.020
And I just kept thinking to myself, why does that baby have to fly right now?
01:05:30.120
So this might, like, so I would say like, oh, maybe they should have drove, you know?
01:05:34.800
Like, don't be on a crowded plane where we share air with other people.
01:05:38.860
Rent a car, drive to wherever this emergency destination is that you're taking this infant, right?
01:05:42.720
And then people will say, oh, Jeff, what if they can't afford it?
01:05:57.580
If you're fat and you're happy, great, flaunt it.
01:06:06.740
Like, we keep making it so, like, we always just keep helping the lowest common denominator,
01:06:14.260
Like, I mean, I remember I've been to India before and, like, they'll have handicapped
01:06:17.020
people, like, dragging themselves on the ground because they don't have a wheelchair.
01:06:21.400
Or, like, if they're lucky to get, like, a skateboard or something or make something
01:06:25.200
You know, where it's, like, in the U.S., it's, like, everything we really get catered
01:06:30.080
But they keep, like, catering to, like, okay, somebody can, you know, not do anything
01:06:38.200
Finally come out once to gun down both their parents, you know?
01:06:42.140
So, you know, we better send him a check every month.
01:06:46.760
And I learned all this, like, my ideology is from traveling the world.
01:06:50.720
And I see things, and I go, oh, man, if they can do it.
01:06:53.560
I lived in a car, and I started doing, I found a job where I didn't need a high
01:06:57.320
school diploma, or I didn't need to, like, I found a job that works.
01:07:00.360
I'm a moron, so I need to find a job where morons can make money.
01:07:10.340
At least these morons would, like, make millions.
01:07:17.420
Yeah, it's like, I can't be a professional basketball player, because, you know.
01:07:27.600
But, yeah, but, like, so I found a job where I could be a professional and do it.
01:07:33.280
Did you ever think, because you were a smaller person, Brad, that, in stature only, that
01:07:39.140
you should have got, like, an extra something from the government or anything?
01:08:03.220
The only problem with those shows is they're always trying to convince that there's nothing
01:08:16.960
We want to see how you, how you're navigating your life because it's inspirational to know
01:08:21.120
that you're reg, that you're just like all of us.
01:08:23.840
Except you're dealing with something that makes you different than us, but like how you're,
01:08:27.300
I'm not like everybody else because I have to put my bag up in the overhead storage bin
01:08:33.380
Black guys don't come up to me and go, wait, what's up, big man?
01:08:43.380
But yeah, it's like we don't make people, we don't make people like have to be better
01:08:49.880
You know, it's like, we'll just keep making it more comfortable.
01:09:02.020
It's supposed to like make your body operate at a high level.
01:09:06.120
But we just, all we care about is the taste part.
01:09:08.700
It'd be like filling your car up with like Mountain Dew just every day.
01:09:11.880
And then the engine seizes and the mechanic, a doctor is like, dude, have you been putting
01:09:24.520
Okay, well, you're going to have to keep coming here.
01:09:26.080
The engine is going to have to be stripped and fixed every single time you put Mountain
01:09:34.220
We get one body in our entire life and we just put shit in it.
01:09:37.920
And then once we get like to 40, we realize we've got problems and we need pills and medications.
01:09:47.740
I feel like, I wonder if we didn't have those things like to help us, you know, like if we
01:09:51.620
didn't know that like there's a, there's a, some bailout program that's going
01:09:56.020
There's a way, like if, if we all went completely broke, we know there's probably a way where
01:09:59.980
we're going to get housing somehow that we're going to get probably able to be able to get
01:10:05.120
And yeah, it doesn't make us challenge ourselves any, but I don't know how you do that.
01:10:09.080
We'll know that like worst case scenario, you can go stay with your parents until you get
01:10:13.800
Or like worst case scenario, especially if like you're a clean person, like if you don't drink
01:10:17.000
and drugs and stuff, like you'll probably have a thousand couches.
01:10:21.440
If you can keep up like what you're doing, but people that don't have that, that's why
01:10:26.240
rich kids statistically famously don't do much because they're like, they're comfy.
01:10:30.780
They've never had to, they always know that backup's there and that's what people might
01:10:40.500
You know, I smoked not a ton, but I smoked semi decently probably till about maybe two months
01:10:53.980
That's, that's the great, like whenever I actually eat like a kale salad with very little
01:11:03.660
Well, even the placebo of that, of like I'm doing the right thing.
01:11:17.140
So like when everyone was smoking weed, they were always like, man, this is the best.
01:11:20.320
Let's get like a marijuana sweatshirt I'll wear to school.
01:11:25.080
And like Dr. Dre, we're going to go to Janine's house.
01:11:28.300
You guys, we want to drink alcohol, but even like, so everything looks really good.
01:11:33.980
Anybody who would smoke cigarettes around me and be like, man, don't do this.
01:11:45.240
They're just sitting there going, I can't believe I do this.
01:11:51.640
People are like, don't ever do this while they're doing it.
01:11:56.820
Cause no one ever does that with like good sex.
01:12:01.180
No one's ever fucking like a hot person and be like, ah, I, this is horrible.
01:12:05.520
You wouldn't eat a sandwich and you're like, this is the worst.
01:12:11.700
And that comes with the placebo of self-loathing and stuff.
01:12:14.080
So like when you're doing that, you're kind of feeling gross about yourself.
01:12:19.060
So there's the opposite effect of that kale salad psychologically.
01:12:22.100
But then, so, but then there's so like, you know, we could like, they have cigarettes.
01:12:27.920
But do you blame like the government for allowing like there to be cigarettes that people can
01:12:36.860
But just don't cry to me when you get lung cancer.
01:12:44.620
It's like, why do we watch the dude walk across the volcano on the tightrope?
01:12:50.140
Because in the back of your head, you're like, wow.
01:12:56.160
And then if that dude fell in the volcano and died, would we feel bad for him?
01:13:01.620
We'd all be like, well, he walked across the volcano.
01:13:04.640
I always think about that with the football analogy of like, I wouldn't have posters of
01:13:08.700
these guys on my walls as a kid and think they're like these hero titans if it was safe.
01:13:14.220
That's what makes them cooler than my dad is like, they can let go crush skulls and
01:13:19.060
like, they're like literally like throwing footballs 50 yards.
01:13:21.580
It's not like I have a poster of my stepdad, Willie, on my wall.
01:13:25.520
He got his graduate degree from FBW or whatever these things are.
01:13:40.880
It would be pretty cool if they had like heroic posters for this regular dude.
01:13:45.540
Mr. Sensenbaugh, he's taught physical education in school for 40 years.
01:13:56.080
Chuck E. Cheese, because people didn't seem to be wanting to order them on some of the food
01:14:03.840
They changed their branding to Pasquale's Pizza and trying to pretend they're like-
01:14:14.200
Pasquale is actually another member of Chuck E. Cheese's rap band.
01:14:37.160
Characters, do you guys feel like there's like a-
01:14:42.740
Like, do you know what I'm talking about, Connor?
01:14:44.600
Because you guys get like a lot of the same attention, I feel like, as like maybe Snow White at Disneyland or like-
01:14:51.920
When you see characters like Pasquale or like Chuck E.
01:15:02.840
But no, it was funny because like my job before I was a comic is I worked at Disneyland because I grew up in Southern California.
01:15:08.280
And that's a great way for high school to make money.
01:15:18.120
Bro, it is a really homoerotic hotbed down there, dude.
01:15:23.280
Well, I go to Disneyland all the time with my guy friends.
01:15:27.340
They're probably going, hey, there's one of us.
01:15:31.980
It was fun because I got a lot of attention from the girls that worked there because I was like one of the only straight dudes that worked there.
01:15:49.440
Yeah, and just like make sure no one fights and stuff.
01:15:51.120
The seven dwarfs are actually gigantic in the costume.
01:15:55.240
They should actually hire dwarfs and then make the costume smaller.
01:16:04.320
The current incarnation of the character is called Munch's Make-Believe Band.
01:16:10.380
Helen Henney, Mr. Munch, Jasper Jowls, and Pasquale.
01:16:21.180
Like, that's the number one thing you don't want in a kitchen.
01:16:47.720
He posted something how he hated people who were getting takeout from Chuck E. Cheese before
01:16:52.500
One of his friends the next day dropped some off at his house.
01:16:55.600
And a couple hours later, Gianni tweeted, Chuck E. Cheese is better than In-N-Out fighting.
01:17:06.220
But you know how all young people, like, that's what the new, like, YouTuber in TikTok is?
01:17:11.700
With, like, quick edits for some reason where, like, just jumps from, like, random.
01:17:18.060
And it's, like, them just, like, taking a hard take on, like, pineapple on pizza or some
01:17:22.020
But he did, like, a hard take on how, like, Chuck E. Cheese, they should all be closed.
01:17:32.380
Yeah, they go after Chuck E. Cheese all the time.
01:17:34.880
I remember they found a piece of scalp in one of the ball pits or something there once.
01:17:43.580
Like, I remember, like, if your mom and somebody else's mom that had, like, a cute child or
01:17:47.460
something, they would set you up on a little date at Chuck E.
01:17:51.880
You'd sit at one table to parents, and the kids would sit at another table.
01:18:01.500
I mean, it's hard to screw up pizza, in my opinion.
01:18:07.620
I had my 34th birthday at Chuck E. Cheese's in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
01:18:14.900
That was, like, the amount we paid for in the package.
01:18:18.220
Were they a little alarmed that it was a 34-year-old birthday party?
01:18:21.800
Well, the funny part was it would be, like, they had the birthday tables, and it was, like,
01:18:35.120
So, this is a bit I do on stage, so I'm gonna try to not do it as it's a bit.
01:18:39.560
I went to Legoland on my day off in Kansas City.
01:18:47.000
It looked like I do Disneyland or something, and I was gonna convince one of my guy friends
01:18:55.040
I said, hey, I'll just wait in the car until you get here.
01:19:03.220
We go to the front gate, and they wouldn't sell us tickets to come to go to Legoland.
01:19:09.540
And they go, because you have to have, like, a kid with you.
01:19:12.720
And they're like, yeah, but we don't just let random men walk around.
01:19:17.780
They're like, we have adult night twice a month, and if you want to come to adult night.
01:19:26.640
And they're like, well, because we don't want kidnappings.
01:19:30.420
I was like, well, you're gonna cause a kidnapping, because I'm about to go steal a kid to get into
01:19:35.100
Well, also, would I be the best kidnapper in the world?
01:19:48.120
Now would they let two women go into Legoland without kids?
01:20:05.780
And I was in the middle of the Midwest doing shows, and I'm by myself.
01:20:14.880
So I start walking in there, and an employee stops me, and he goes like, hey, do you have
01:20:32.180
Just some single white dude just walks in, just like, yeah, I want to go run around with
01:20:38.560
You should have just went to the bathroom shaved and been like, I'm a kid, man.
01:20:49.960
You have a shirt on that says Grandpa's Favorite on it?
01:20:54.940
Does it feel a lot of times, like, because of your size and stuff, that you get to relive
01:21:07.360
My favorite ride is at Knott's Berry Farm Camp Snoopy.
01:21:23.320
And then you, like, you can, like, move the thing back and forth, and then that controls
01:21:41.020
That, it's like, it's always funny when I would do it, because I would go to Knott's
01:21:45.820
Berry Farm and just, you know, I'd be with my friends and be like, hold on.
01:21:54.440
So, there's, like, a video somewhere of, like, the train going by, and it's like, kid, kid,
01:22:13.960
Well, if I can't ride some of the roller coasters, then the payoff of that is I can still ride
01:22:22.320
And then I was watching the Chicago Bulls documentary, and I was hearing about how, like, Air Jordans
01:22:33.780
They've only cost, like, 50 bucks for me for, like...
01:22:42.400
I wonder what the cost of savings is if you're a little person, the overall life savings.
01:22:47.780
Well, for there, you get savings, but then you buy, like, a pair of pants, and then you
01:22:56.780
I got a couple of suits that cost me a little extra money.
01:23:00.360
Well, they tailor suits anyways, so it's weird that they...
01:23:04.960
With, like, the internet in modern times, right?
01:23:08.760
I'm sure some of them even sponsored your podcast where, like, you, like, measure your shit
01:23:17.620
Yeah, now there's, like, great places that do that.
01:23:23.140
I don't know any other little people except for you.
01:23:33.300
Did you always know that you are at a certain point...
01:23:36.400
Did your parents sit you down and say, hey, man, we have something to tell you?
01:23:38.900
Oh, so they told me I was a dwarf, but they told me before I went off to school because
01:23:49.280
So my dad told me, he's like, no, when you go to school, there's gonna be some kids that
01:23:55.680
So let's you and I write some comebacks for them.
01:24:09.000
So then when I went to school and kids made fun of me, I had comebacks, like, written.
01:24:14.000
And I would say it to them, and then they'd get all sad, and I'd get...
01:24:22.760
Do you think that that helped make you into a comedian?
01:24:25.000
That sounds like exactly how I would become a comedian, I feel like.
01:24:29.320
But also just being different is probably why you're a comedian.
01:24:32.620
But, like, but that attitude with being different.
01:24:38.380
So then when, like, when I go to some city and some guy, like, yells out, leprechaun.
01:24:51.180
If he's still yelling, leprechaun at this age, like, that guy.
01:24:56.180
How sad is it as we get older when you have your friends that still tell, like, jokes
01:25:03.000
Or just, like, the worst, like, little comebacks or whatever?
01:25:08.040
Is when people, especially grown men and grown women, anyone who I'd say over the age of 11,
01:25:14.640
if you think you're funny, because you're saying, like, a line from a Happy Gilmore movie...
01:25:20.020
...or, like, you're quoting Michael Scott from, like...
01:25:23.180
You stole a quote from a thing, and now you're putting it in your own life, and you think
01:25:33.440
Except there's one guy who did a cool little video.
01:25:35.760
He had a friend that had drowned or something, and he's like, you're my boy, Blue, and he
01:25:38.600
kept fucking turning the camera to the fucking body.
01:25:43.220
See, that's where that guy's sense of humor is.
01:25:59.160
Oh, that's like, I don't fear anything about, like, being a dad in terms of stuff that I'm
01:26:06.620
The thing that I fear is, like, once I have to start interacting with other parents who
01:26:17.900
No, you can be polite, but, like, you don't have to, like, you don't have, I mean.
01:26:21.020
Yeah, no, when they find out you're a comic, that has to be the worst.
01:26:25.580
You have this connection piece to somebody else that is a child.
01:26:28.420
So you have to mill around while your children do whatever they're doing, lick each other.
01:26:33.340
And I'm like, God, now I have to, like, you're friends with Sally, so we'd have to deal with
01:26:37.660
He can just go jump in the ball pit and try running around the tubes.
01:26:40.720
Dude, I can't wait for that day when me and my daughter are both running around the tubes
01:26:48.080
You're like, I can't listen to your friend's dad tell bad jokes.
01:26:51.840
I'm going to jump around playing the tubes with the kids.
01:26:59.260
Got the Asian dwarf baby, or as I like to call her, ADB.
01:27:06.660
Yeah, well, because, like, I don't want my kid to grow older and get bigger than me,
01:27:19.160
So if it comes down to, like, you and, you know, you and your wife are having, you know,
01:27:22.720
now it's kind of like Team Dorf is dominating the house.
01:27:25.700
Now it's like my wife can't complain if she, like, trips over a stepstool or something,
01:27:30.420
because they're like, this is the world you're living in now.
01:27:34.560
But if she was, like, if she was an average height person, it'd be her and her mom,
01:27:45.980
Yeah, my wife is Chinese, so we made an Asian dwarf baby.
01:27:50.260
And what are the odds that she was going to be a dwarf?
01:27:55.500
So we were, you know, we were just kind of, that might be my favorite one.
01:28:02.900
Someone gave her a robe with her initials on it.
01:28:07.760
Probably somebody who tries to get into a Lego lane by themself.
01:28:13.160
Oh, so that person has no idea how newborn babies or dwarfs work.
01:28:18.980
That's like for like a one-year-old, like two-year-old.
01:28:21.100
That's the best part is like, because like when all the pandemic stuff started happening,
01:28:26.000
some people started talking to me like, oh, wow, that's going to suck when like your kid
01:28:33.320
I'm like, no, we got clothes for like two years.
01:28:38.200
When I buy clothes for like my nieces and nephews or something, like I was like, I don't
01:28:42.500
Like I'm like holding up, like I'm like at Target, like going, it looks pretty little
01:28:51.280
Like my ex-girlfriend was like, I do not know this stuff.
01:28:56.360
You're telling a little four-year-old like, hey, try this on.
01:29:14.720
Because we got big asses and my type of dwarfism, the girls have some big old titties.
01:29:25.640
Sometimes there's customized lingerie, but I think for the most part stuff just fits.
01:29:28.620
Because like, I mean, not as much stuff fits, but there's stuff that fits.
01:29:35.320
Because if you're going to say that, it would get a real dark world.
01:29:48.140
Is she getting to the part where she can, you said four months?
01:29:54.300
They start to really kind of get interactive and stuff.
01:29:57.020
Well, dude, like, and not to get like too cheesy or whatever, but like when it crushes me in
01:30:04.620
the best way when I wake her up in the morning and I walk in and she's kind of crying, but
01:30:10.920
then she looks up and sees me and then just gets a big smile on her face.
01:30:13.860
Like that's, I, like, it sounds stupid and cheesy and I don't know, but that's human.
01:30:20.140
Literally the best feeling I've ever had in the world is, is just my daughter, like, look
01:30:27.720
Better than Saturday late show when they're like, you hit all your bonuses.
01:30:36.120
You know, it's certain, it's certain things like that.
01:30:38.740
And, uh, I got friends that don't have kids and they're like, oh, so you like, you change
01:31:08.740
Do you like, like, like you clean your daughter's shit?
01:31:11.800
Because if you don't, they're just in their own shit and you don't think about it.
01:31:19.760
I mean, like, like this 1950s madman dad where I'm just in the other room with a martini.
01:31:26.380
Also, that might be the bad part of having a, a, a Dorf daughter like you rooted for.
01:31:30.620
Cause now she's gonna be like, you, if you guys get invited, oh, you're the Dorfs, you
01:31:37.940
There's like an average person war going on in their house at all times.
01:31:41.280
Well, if something has, if something shits near me, I'm going to help it out.
01:31:49.840
I feel like, I feel like, I feel like you, I feel like you should play the more, you
01:31:54.260
know, theme right at, right after you say that if something shits near me, I'm going to
01:32:15.040
And, uh, and then I need to go watch the baby cause you can't, cause, cause you can't just
01:32:21.160
It's not like my puppy that's sitting in a kennel right now.
01:32:24.280
But yeah, you, you, you guys continue, but, uh, do you mind, do you mind if I plug some
01:32:30.480
Uh, bradwilliamscomedy.com, uh, on Instagram at bradwilliamscomic, Twitter, uh, at funny
01:32:36.500
Brad, please check out my tour schedule cause it changes almost by the week cause like, cause
01:32:41.120
like things get canceled, but then other States open up.
01:32:43.680
So they get added, like, so things are changing constantly.
01:32:46.980
So yeah, just go, just go to the website and book me on cameo.
01:32:53.800
The best one I've had so far is, uh, one woman told me to tell her ex-girlfriend that
01:33:18.000
I'm not going to say a racial slur or anything like that, but if you want me to call someone's
01:33:23.880
Look for $500, you want to dress up like, uh, Dwayne Chapman, the bounty hunter.
01:33:29.080
I want to see you dressed up as a small Scott Steiner.
01:33:37.620
Like, bro, it would be funny if for, say like for $300, for $300, you're like, I will do
01:34:22.700
You know, it's not like at the comedy store where they just put your name in cursive on the
01:34:27.220
For this, you got to, you want to add someone, you want to take someone away.
01:34:31.180
Yeah, well, we have a guy who does animation that helps us out.
01:34:34.780
We don't have a guy, but we have a guy who does some awesome animation that we know,
01:34:39.160
this guy Papio Tune, and so he drew this one time, kind of based on the Simpsons characters.
01:34:49.900
So then, yeah, then we just blew it up and put it on here.
01:34:55.380
It's definitely been something that people like to see.
01:35:06.200
Like they could have said, like I said, the money is the tricky part.
01:35:09.440
But I think if you did it, or if like, I think Joe Rogan's going to go to the, going to go
01:35:15.620
Keith Stubbs, the owner, was like, yeah, Joe's going to go.
01:35:17.440
And I was like, well, what are you going to do?
01:35:18.220
Just make it like $100 a ticket, but still limit it to like the 100 people.
01:35:23.880
We'll probably just make the tickets 40 bucks or something like that and put 100 people in
01:35:50.340
A lot of people call it So Ute, but they had, um, we went to restaurants and stuff.
01:35:56.760
I went to a gay bar after the show because it was like the closest bar that was open.
01:36:05.100
Yeah, you know, I'm on foot, you know, so I got to go to the gay one.
01:36:11.800
We went into the bar and it was just like a restaurant.
01:36:15.120
Like, they're like, oh, you have to sit at a table.
01:36:19.540
And if you need to go to the bathroom or something, you get up, but you got to put your mask on.
01:36:23.840
What I like about bars, you can walk around, talk to people and stuff like that.
01:36:27.240
You can get your ass kicked by someone you don't know.
01:36:39.480
What I don't like, I notice that I start to not like is when people, especially women,
01:37:11.500
And I was like, do you still want to come out with us afterwards?
01:37:17.260
And he left because he was so annoyed with how hammered the girl was that I was talking to.
01:37:22.360
He was just like, I couldn't even be around her.
01:37:24.320
Like, I was just so embarrassed for her and so annoyed.
01:37:26.920
And I was like, if Jeff can put up with this, he can put up with it.
01:37:29.720
And I was like, man, I've never even thought about that.
01:37:31.760
It's kind of like one of the perks of being drunk, too.
01:37:36.220
You don't even notice that everyone else is blurry.
01:37:40.520
It definitely adds a level of like kind of like what I think comes off to other people as judgment.
01:37:44.900
So now I'm like, if people are drunk somewhere, you know, and you're not, you're like, oh, man, this girl's way, like, I just can't communicate with this person, you know?
01:37:53.040
Because if you'd have had two drinks, you'd probably be fine talking to them, you know?
01:37:57.080
When I heard you stop drinking, I was like, I considered it.
01:37:59.940
I actually considered for the first time in my life not drinking.
01:38:03.380
Because Jordan Peterson always talks about that all the time.
01:38:07.460
But then I was just like, I don't think I can, which might mean I have a problem.
01:38:19.640
There's a couple of guys where it's like, you're like, oh, this dude.
01:38:25.280
And I don't have a wife or girlfriend or kids or anything.
01:38:27.720
So like, it doesn't affect, I mean, that's never negatively affected that.
01:38:33.660
I go to yoga every day after like the next day, sweat it all out and, you know, I don't
01:38:37.900
It sounds like you're having a fucking blast is what it sounds like.
01:38:40.100
But also like, that does make me, when guys I admire, I'm like, oh man, they stopped.
01:38:47.160
I think sometimes it's like, yeah, you start to think, is there like insider trade?
01:38:52.680
Am I going to like start like organizing things?
01:38:54.880
And like, I'll knock out seven podcasts in a day because I had so much, I didn't sleep
01:39:07.020
But then sometimes I start to think that I get too much, like, that you get a little
01:39:17.160
I think there is a level of that, like you get a little disconnected from like the every
01:39:25.100
Like you wouldn't spend time with like some drunk chick, like, yeah, like, like just little
01:39:32.380
Like if somebody's like, hey, let's go do this.
01:39:37.520
But it's when you're sober, you're like, oh, I could see that's horrible idea.
01:39:41.180
Well, I feel like the, the idea that the fear of not fear of missing out, but like the
01:39:47.120
You feel like you're missing out on some of the fun.
01:39:54.640
Like I can't, like I've had a conversation with Eric Griffin.
01:39:57.180
I mean, the people on this wall who, when they look through the scope of what they're
01:40:01.220
looking through, they're scrolling through going, oh man, uh, you know, look at Theo
01:40:05.640
and, uh, and, uh, what's the fighter guy, you know, uh, Dustin Poirier.
01:40:12.260
Let's, you see that and you go, oh man, I've never, you know, they're late.
01:40:17.740
Like you do feel kind of like these, like left out.
01:40:21.660
And I think that like, that no one's left out, but everyone is feeling that about each
01:40:25.720
And I think that's like a standup comedy thing.
01:40:34.500
Like, so because I'm watching you go have fun doing something, I'm thinking, oh man, I've
01:40:40.240
So we're, we're forced to kind of be like separate in these things.
01:40:43.120
And then occasionally you'll see like all of these guys together in Montreal and you're
01:40:46.180
like, well, I didn't go to Montreal this year, man.
01:40:47.780
Look, I'm missing out on the, you know, that's, and then you feel it on a smaller scale too.
01:40:51.820
You'll be like at Montreal and you see like, uh, two, you know, Chad Daniels will walk away
01:40:56.960
with, you know, some other comic and he'll be like, where are you going?
01:40:59.180
They go, oh, we got tickets to go see Chappelle.
01:41:06.700
And especially with social media now, it's like, there's always an advertisement for what somebody
01:41:11.540
So yeah, easily you could scroll, scroll, scroll through and see 70 thing of feeling
01:41:20.220
Can't be at the, you know, they're out there riding dune carts or whatever.
01:41:24.460
Oh, I should have been out in the mountains hiking right now.
01:41:30.580
We never, like we just worked together on TV show.
01:41:35.940
I haven't talked to that girl in easily two years.
01:41:41.660
I saw her, her husband, their like baby and then another family and they're like GPing
01:41:46.020
up in like Joshua tree and I felt left out on that.
01:42:01.700
There is this whole, I think, yeah, I think it's just, I wonder what the long-term psychological
01:42:06.880
Of that FOMO, you know, that thing where you constantly see things that you could be
01:42:11.480
doing, you know, that people you know are doing and they always appear to be joyful.
01:42:16.920
I can only imagine the long-term psychological effects that aren't really good.
01:42:23.260
Like I have to like coach my brain all the time.
01:42:24.860
Like you don't have to be jealous of these people.
01:42:28.800
You know, like that whole comic thing where you see someone do like something and you're
01:42:36.880
You know, what about this is the last thing I want to think about real quick is do you
01:42:41.820
see, I see a lot of these commercials and it's like, let's go, thank you to our first
01:42:46.460
Thank you to our, you know, our frontline workers and stuff like that.
01:42:52.300
But then sometimes at a certain point I'm seeing like even friends of mine put up videos
01:42:56.040
like we took all this food to the hospital and literally on the video you could see the
01:43:02.660
Like, and they're like every day we get this every day and it's like, and I'm not saying
01:43:07.600
I'm not saying we shouldn't always do nice things for other people, but sometimes it just
01:43:15.080
It's not like it's the military, you know, there's like tons of people out in the street
01:43:21.220
I'm like, what are they, I understand if you're buying lunch and doing something nice for these
01:43:24.860
people, but most of the frontline workers, it seems like are like Postmates or people
01:43:34.440
Pizza, pizza delivery people, like maybe not now as much as when this first started, when
01:43:38.380
we went in like real scary lockdown where like people are just a mystery of not knowing.
01:43:42.060
Pizza people were like, pizza delivery guys were like saving people's lives.
01:43:45.200
Like the Postman, like that movie, The Postman.
01:43:47.020
There's lots of people with, I'm like, are you Kevin Costner?
01:43:52.680
And they're risking their lives coming to people's houses.
01:43:56.540
And they're just giving people that have no groceries or anything like that.
01:44:03.480
Well, sometimes it just seems like, I guess sometimes you just see people, it just seems
01:44:14.060
I don't think, no, I don't think, I don't think you're wrong.
01:44:17.720
Like, look, we made a hundred of these masks and we're going to go drop them off today.
01:44:21.920
It's like kind of this braggadocious kind of, look how good we are.
01:44:27.800
And also, I think there's a lot of positive, but I see what you're saying.
01:44:36.440
It's just a human thing, I think, that we're like that.
01:44:41.140
I was in Barbados one time and we had a group and we're taking, they're like, let's take
01:44:44.340
a day and take toothbrushes over to this youth facility where they don't have them, you know?
01:44:50.860
So we took them over there and the kids didn't give a fuck.
01:45:04.340
I guess we should have brought iPads or something.
01:45:08.720
Some guy's literally putting me on his Snapchat like, look at these motherfuckers, dude.
01:45:13.920
These buster pussies brought us toothbrushes, man.
01:45:28.120
Just the big, whirly, A, you know, at, and then Jeff Dye.
01:45:41.740
Hopefully by then some of the bars will be a little bit more open and stuff like that.
01:45:44.840
That's what I'm hoping that this is, I don't know.
01:45:50.100
I'm also going to do some virtual shows in between just to make some money just so I can start working
01:45:55.880
I also have a podcast called Jeff Dye's Friendship Podcast.
01:46:05.180
But the, yeah, that's been really fun because I get to do stuff like this.
01:46:09.040
Yeah, I was watching some clips yesterday of it.
01:46:13.840
Because there's some people that they're not going to just come hang out with you.
01:46:17.780
But, like, if you have them for an hour, they'll sit down and say, yeah.
01:46:21.240
Like, Brian Kiley's got, like, a wife and kids.
01:46:23.700
He can't tell his wife, I'm going to go have a beer with Jeff Dye.
01:46:27.880
But if he's like, no, we're going to go record a podcast.
01:46:32.000
It really is kind of a unique way that guys get out of the house.
01:46:38.040
Because, like, you literally get to, like, just say, hey, I admire what you're doing.
01:46:44.380
So it's, like, a productive way of having a hang.
01:46:59.840
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind.
01:48:01.140
A podcast where I'll be sharing thoughts on things like current events
01:48:13.580
And as always, I'll be joined by the voices in my head
