This episode is with Lino Rodriguez, and this one goes all over the place in the best way.
Lino grew up in South Mississippi watching Comedy Central and genuinely never thought becoming a comedian was something he could actually do. A few years later, he got on Kill Tony, moved to Austin to pursue comedy, started getting into roast battles, and eventually found himself performing at the Comedy Mothership.
We talk about what his life actually looks like when he is not onstage, why he gravitates toward late night comedy, what roast battles have taught him, and what happened when one of his clips suddenly took off. We also get into the part of stand up that people do not always see. The pressure, questioning whether you belong, taking the losses with the wins, and figuring out how badly you really want to keep doing this.
Then, because this is Lino, things become a lot of fun.
FEMA trailers. A pet pig. Eating shark. Hippie festivals in the woods. Barter fairs. An absolutely insane amount of psychedelics. A 10 gallon bag of mushrooms. Seriously fun!
I really enjoyed this conversation because, as always, Lino is completely himself. He is funny and open, with moments where you can tell how seriously he actually cares about comedy.
Huge thank you to Lino for coming over, hanging out, and being willing to talk about all of it. I had a great time with this one!

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10 across Comedy Central and I see those old 30
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13 minute specials I just watch the fuck out of
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15 them and I just over time I never thought I could
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18 be a comedian because I'm from Mississippi. Yeah,
00:00:18 --> 00:00:22 you know Seriously, what stars are in New York?

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 I'm not a sit -down -for -hours type of guy,
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 but I have been a patch. You have to not take
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 yourself so seriously in life in general, especially
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54 roast battles, because it's for all the love
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57 of comedy. It's the game that we're playing,
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 you know? Yeah. It's for the people. Like, you
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01 have to really want to do this and love it enough
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04 to, like, you know, take the punches, and the
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07 failures, and, uh, whatever. Along with success,
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 you just gotta keep rolling, I guess. If you

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23 Like, how did you get into that? Well, my good
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26 buddy John, I was, so earlier this year I got
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29 laid off from a pot farm, not a pot farm, a pot
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32 bus. I sold weed on a bus. You sold, oh, okay.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36 on wheels things. Oh yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah.
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38 I worked at one of those and I got like soft
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41 fired from it. And then I was out of a job. Oh,
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43 that sucks. Yeah, yeah. When the laws changed,
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46 they went a little like, you know. Haywire, huh?
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48 He had a little skittish and then a lot of people
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49 lost their jobs And I was like, you know out
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52 of a job for a bit and then my buddy John is
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55 nice guy. He's a comic He works there. He's been
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58 working there for a while and he's like hey We
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01 need some help in the shop You seem smart enough
00:04:01 --> 00:04:07 to you know do stuff You seem smart enough to
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10 like act around for a while. Yeah. Yes, you see
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12 what you can cover him some things. All right
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15 So they gave me a shot and brought me into the
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 shop and I've been working there for a couple
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18 of months now. It's been cool. Oh man, that's
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 pretty badass. Have you done like, do you do
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23 like all sorts of like different like colors
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24 and stuff or is it like commercial and they do
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27 like just advertisements or? So it's sort of
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29 a range of things. We do whatever our boss tells
00:04:29 --> 00:04:32 us. It's mostly been colors lately though. Oh,
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34 okay. Like color PPF and we get a lot of stuff
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37 from a Tesla factory or like Rivian and stuff
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39 like that. Oh, dude. Then we have like random
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43 Side jobs, like I polished a Lexus a week ago,
00:04:43 --> 00:04:46 two weeks ago. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, dude, I
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49 drive an 06 Pontiac Vibe, and I was like, dude,

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53 purple. Do it. Oh, my God. Like, that would be
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55 fucking cool. Yeah. If you want vinyl, like,
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58 there's two different types, guys, in case you're
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00 wondering. There's, like, vinyl, and there's
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01 PPF. PPF is a little bit more expensive because
00:05:01 --> 00:05:05 it's paint protection. Oh. And then vinyl is
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07 just straight -up color that you wrap over your
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08 car. Like, that's, like, some of the fun videos
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11 you see on the internet. Yeah, I would just be
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13 like just literally wrap it. Don't even fucking
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15 worry about nothing Because it's such a piece
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18 of shit. It's like it's such a terrible car.

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56 on the toilet and start playing like devil music.
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59 That would be bad. They would literally die.
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06 There's a lot of people who die on toilets. Really?
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09 Yeah. Yeah. That's a piece of Elvis. Yeah, yeah.

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01 again. You're right. I've spent maybe I've been
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04 doing a little too much, but, you know, it's
00:16:04 --> 00:16:07 easy to get into that. What's a typical night
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10 of partying look like? Partying? Well, just meeting

00:16:15 --> 00:16:16 probably. Not stopping because you're shitting
00:16:16 --> 00:16:19 on the sidewalk. Yeah, don't stop till you get
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22 enough, you know? And even then we might not

00:16:26 --> 00:16:29 and like play games and watch movies all the
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31 time and get drunk. That's a fun time, you know,

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52 I need more money, put more money in me to play
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54 music. Oh, really? Yeah, it's a funny, I only
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56 heard that happen like once or twice, but yeah,
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58 it's really fucking. That's funny, dude. Yeah,
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00 and they just play pool and talk shit and go
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02 on the balconies. It's a good old time. Damn,
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04 dude, that sounds like, that sounds like fun.
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06 I haven't been like, I really kind of don't go
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08 to bars much because I stopped drinking. Oh,
00:18:08 --> 00:18:11 no, I didn't know that. Rest in peace, man. Oh,
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14 yeah, yeah. It was difficult, but... I'm sorry,
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16 I'm kidding. Oh, no, no, you're good. You're
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18 good. I totally joke around with that. It was
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21 like everybody around me drinks, but I don't
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24 care because I get it. I get it. I totally get
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27 it because I used to drink a lot. Yeah. How much
00:18:27 --> 00:18:32 did you drink? Oh, dude. Basically, I would start
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34 and just not have any control to stop. That's
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36 sort of... I'm in a little bit of a situation
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39 like that myself, so I can sort of relate. Yeah?
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43 Yeah, yeah. So, like, when you wake up, do you
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46 feel guilty or do you start drinking again? Both,
00:18:46 --> 00:18:50 depending on the day. Like, Saturday, when I
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52 woke up, I felt pretty guilty. I don't like those
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53 nights where you wake up and you're like, oh,
00:18:53 --> 00:19:01 shit, I'm home. Oh, man, this is the worst. You're
00:19:01 --> 00:19:05 in the back of my fucking house. I passed out
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07 at my friend's house the other day. My friend
00:19:07 --> 00:19:10 Shannon's. I woke up on the couch. And I let
00:19:10 --> 00:19:15 out a guttural scream. I was like, ah! I like
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17 your guttural scream and how, like, not guttural
00:19:17 --> 00:19:21 it is. No, I don't want to yell on this. I was
00:19:21 --> 00:19:25 like, oh, where am I? Whoa, whoa, oh. And I grabbed
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28 the couch. And I was like, oh, I'm on. You grabbed
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30 the couch. Yeah, because I woke up and I was
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33 facing a wall. So I was like, what is this? And
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36 my eye just so closed was like, ah. Ah! It's
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39 like beating the couch up. Damn, dude. Yeah,
00:19:39 --> 00:19:43 no, I used to go in a few, like, just stupors,
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44 man. I would just go and just start drinking
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47 and just not stop, and then I would wake up and
00:19:47 --> 00:19:50 then just, like, every now and again, like, I
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52 would just wait a little bit and maybe eat something,
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54 and then just basically just get looking forward
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56 to drink again, and I'd just start drinking again,
00:19:56 --> 00:19:57 basically. It's a dangerous cycle, you know,
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00 alcohol. My mom was an alcoholic, so I definitely
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03 have to keep an eye on that and not go overboard.
00:20:03 --> 00:20:06 So I can definitely see the dragon. Yeah, and
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09 I can see what it is and I can sort of I think
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11 I have a decent like handle on it I didn't want
00:20:11 --> 00:20:16 to stop. There's something else I can't Yeah,
00:20:16 --> 00:20:19 I get it I just can't control that dragon. I've
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22 got the Naruto Uzumaki fucking nine tails inside
00:20:22 --> 00:20:26 like you're fucking Get another beer I do I get
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28 it man. Yeah, and I thought like a lot of the
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30 buddies that I talked to you like when they Went
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32 and was like when they would go drink they would
00:20:32 --> 00:20:36 have like the the wherewithal to be like No,
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38 no, I'm good. I need to take a break for a minute.
00:20:38 --> 00:20:40 Yeah, like me. I just can't do that I don't have
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42 it Well, I'm proud of you for being able to stop
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43 it because that's like a really difficult. That's
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46 no I'm not joking That's like like like I said,
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48 my mom was like an alcoholic and she she's turned
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51 her life around and I'm so proud of her Oh, man.
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53 Yeah, but it was good. Good for your mom, man
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55 Yeah, it was a huge problem in my childhood.
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57 Sure. So I definitely can respect that it being
00:20:57 --> 00:21:01 like a serious issue Yeah, because yeah, it's

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33 home a head that was severed like look at this
00:24:33 --> 00:24:38 Yeah, there's been some crazy shit every now
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40 and again I've heard man. I've heard that that
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42 can be do you have any fun ones you'd like to
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45 share? With the class. Oh my god, dude. There's
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48 there's so many like cuz I've worked like I've
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50 been doing it for like about, shit, what year
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52 are we in? Yeah, I think about six years now.
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54 All right. You know, so like a long time. Oh,
00:24:54 --> 00:24:56 you started right like right after COVID or right
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58 in the middle of it, really? Yeah. That's beast,
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00 dude. Yeah, it was it was pretty crazy. And so
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01 like when I was when I was out there, we were
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03 still kind of going through COVID. So I had to
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05 do like the preventative measures and things
00:25:05 --> 00:25:08 like that back then. But yeah, there's there's
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10 honestly there's a bunch, bro. There's a bunch
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13 of shit. Everything that you can think of really
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15 like car accidents, you know, motorcycle accidents,
00:25:15 --> 00:25:19 those are rural. I've got a fun one. I don't
00:25:19 --> 00:25:23 like any fun poop ones. Oh, yeah. Any poopy ones?
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25 Yeah, yeah, because that, okay, so yeah, that
00:25:25 --> 00:25:28 happens. And sometimes I'll feel like... depending
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30 on who it is, sometimes I'll feel bad about the
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32 fact that they're experiencing that. Yeah. You
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34 know, I'd be like, oh man, I'm sorry that that's
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35 going on. Oh, just shitting in the ambulance
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37 on the way like fucking, oh. Yeah, it's happened.
00:25:38 --> 00:25:40 Yeah, I believe it. You know, it always fucking
00:25:40 --> 00:25:43 sucks because we have we got to clean it. Yeah.
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44 You know, and so like afterwards, you're sitting
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47 there like in like in the worst part is like
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49 you're sitting in like the ambulance bay and
00:25:49 --> 00:25:52 and everybody can see you when you're just like
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55 cleaning the shit from the ambulance. It's embarrassing.
00:25:55 --> 00:25:58 It's like I mean sort of they they understand
00:25:58 --> 00:26:01 they've been through it and so like oh it sucks
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03 Exactly, and then you just keep walking, you
00:26:03 --> 00:26:07 know, but uh, yeah, but yeah, dude You know everything
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09 from like, you know, like the worst ones are
00:26:09 --> 00:26:12 always children in any way shape or form has
00:26:12 --> 00:26:21 sound effect Oh, that's that's bad but uh But
00:26:21 --> 00:26:25 yeah, like so so that you know, like Seeing group
00:26:25 --> 00:26:28 homes, like I think that's kind of weird is that
00:26:28 --> 00:26:31 there's a lot of illegal group homes that are
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33 happening. So we'll go. Illegal? Illegal. Illegal
00:26:33 --> 00:26:36 group homes. Like there's like squatting. So
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38 what that looks like is essentially somebody's
00:26:38 --> 00:26:43 house that they opened up for like to have a
00:26:43 --> 00:26:46 fake nurse. I know what a group home is. Yeah.
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48 And then people just live in their bedroom. So
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50 they basically pay for rent and then they have
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53 these older people who are oftentimes like demented.
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55 Yeah, and they have like, you know, they just
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58 have dementia and shit like that And so they
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00 they don't know where they're at and then all
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01 of a sudden they wake up and instead of them
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04 being against a wall They're like what the fuck
00:27:04 --> 00:27:07 is going on with me Oh, yeah, you know and that's
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09 always like fucked up because that's like it
00:27:09 --> 00:27:12 feels like just disposable people It's like people
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14 just didn't want their family members anymore.
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16 So they threw them out They feel how I feel when
00:27:16 --> 00:27:19 I woke up on the couch. Where the fuck am I?
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23 But yeah, no, it's like, it's unfortunately like
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26 with EMT shit, it's like, it's usually like kind
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28 of sad, but every, you know, every now and again,
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30 you get like some crazy ones, you know, shit
00:27:30 --> 00:27:34 like this guy, he shot himself once like in the
00:27:34 --> 00:27:38 thigh and he was like totally cool. Like he was
00:27:38 --> 00:27:40 like, nah man, I'll just drive myself later.
00:27:41 --> 00:27:44 And we were like, bro, you shot yourself in the
00:27:44 --> 00:27:49 thigh. Like you need to go to the hospital. Nah
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51 man, I'm good. Pretty much. Nah, but I shoot
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53 myself all the time, don't worry about it. Pretty
00:27:53 --> 00:27:56 much. Yeah, this happens like once a month. Yeah,
00:27:57 --> 00:27:59 but we can't kidnap him, so if he says that,
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02 basically we're like, all right, sign here. All
00:28:02 --> 00:28:06 right, dude. His friends call him Holes. That's
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08 our buddy Holes, he does this all the time. Oh
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10 man, Holes, he's just always up in that shit
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12 doing it, man. You shoot yourself again. We tell
00:28:12 --> 00:28:13 him to put the safety on, he's like, I don't
00:28:13 --> 00:28:16 want to. He said he was going to stop shooting
00:28:16 --> 00:28:20 up. Yeah, well, he couldn't stop. He kept shooting
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22 himself. And that's why we call him Holes. And
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24 he also loves that movie. That's his favorite
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26 movie, Holes. Yeah, he ain't shy the buff about
00:28:26 --> 00:28:30 it. So when did you actually come to Austin?
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34 About five years ago, four years ago, four years
00:28:34 --> 00:28:38 ago. What brought you here? Comedy. Just comedy?
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40 Yeah, comedy. Starting a life out here in Austin.
00:28:42 --> 00:28:44 You know, the classic, I got on Kill Tony thing,
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46 and then you're like, I want to pursue comedy
00:28:46 --> 00:28:50 in a bigger scene that I, there's something different,
00:28:50 --> 00:28:53 you know? Louisiana, Mississippi, I've been around
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54 that my whole life, I've never been in Texas
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57 before. I came here, had a fucking street taco
00:28:57 --> 00:29:01 or something, I was like, I'll stay. One street
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03 taco, you're like, you know what? All right,
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05 actually kind of cool. Yeah. Yeah, this is kind
00:29:05 --> 00:29:09 of cool beans. The free fried beans at this taco
00:29:09 --> 00:29:13 shop, I'm living here. Dude, I really want some
00:29:13 --> 00:29:16 fucking tacos now. It's amazing. So honestly
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17 that was like one of the things that drew me
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19 to Austin was I loved the food trucks. Now I've
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22 lived here for a while. I'm like, you know, the
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24 food trucks. But I know girl that wasn't really
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26 a thing we had all the time. There's food trucks
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28 everywhere. I felt like I was in like a mall
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30 almost, but with food everywhere. Yeah. Yeah,
00:29:30 --> 00:29:32 I noticed that too. Now that you're mentioning
00:29:32 --> 00:29:35 it, there is like a fuck ton of food trucks.
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37 A shit ton. Yeah, especially right there by the
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39 creek. Yeah, everywhere. Everywhere. If they
00:29:39 --> 00:29:44 militarized, Fucking food truck militia, bro.
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47 I'm just saying we have to watch out. You have
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49 to watch out for the food trucks I don't know
00:29:49 --> 00:29:51 what's in there. No, no one else really knows
00:29:51 --> 00:29:55 what's in there Oh, who knows dude actually actually
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56 since you mentioned like, you know, they asking
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59 about a story Yeah, I actually do have something
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01 that surrounds a food truck sick. So yeah, so
00:30:01 --> 00:30:05 this dude he like um So I have to be careful
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06 with the details. But anyway, so this dude calls
00:30:06 --> 00:30:10 us up and he uh, he's he's having an allergic
00:30:10 --> 00:30:14 reaction And he's saying that he can't breathe.
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16 He's starting to like kind of develop hives,
00:30:16 --> 00:30:19 things like that. And we were like, okay, cool.
00:30:20 --> 00:30:21 Well, of course now we have to start asking the
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23 questions and stuff like that, which is usually
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25 centered around like, okay, when did this start?
00:30:25 --> 00:30:28 And like, why did it start basically? And he
00:30:28 --> 00:30:31 goes, he's like, yeah, man, I just went and I
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33 ate at a food truck, really. And we're like,
00:30:33 --> 00:30:34 oh, okay, so you might have a food allergy. And
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37 he's like, no, no, actually I don't. And I was
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38 like, you don't have a food allergy? He's like,
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41 no. And I was like, I'm not no pussy, dude. Right.
00:30:42 --> 00:30:45 I was like, so tell me what your allergy actually
00:30:45 --> 00:30:51 is. And he's like, oh, roaches. Oh. Oh, no. Yeah.
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54 And I was like, which food truck did you go to?
00:30:54 --> 00:30:57 Oh, man. I was like, yeah, dude, I'm not fucking
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00 going there. Yeah. Was it a Mediterranean one?
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02 Was it one of those ones where they actually
00:31:02 --> 00:31:05 eat roaches in their own country? You know, look,
00:31:05 --> 00:31:08 you seen those? No. You seen this? You talking
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10 about the actual roaches? Yeah, I don't know
00:31:10 --> 00:31:12 what country it is. I'm not gonna put one specific
00:31:12 --> 00:31:15 country on blast saying they eat bugs, but...
00:31:15 --> 00:31:17 They might get mad at you. They could possibly
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19 get mad at me for that. If I was just like, I
00:31:19 --> 00:31:21 don't know, Bangladesh loves eating roaches.
00:31:21 --> 00:31:27 Somebody from Bangladesh is like, damn it! Motherfucker!
00:31:27 --> 00:31:29 Everyone keeps saying this, we don't eat roaches.
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33 We stopped a long time ago. I don't even know
00:31:33 --> 00:31:34 if that's a Bangladesh accent. I don't either,
00:31:34 --> 00:31:43 but it sounds good. Sound effect. Yeah, sorry.
00:31:44 --> 00:31:47 I probably shouldn't have palmed that. I literally
00:31:47 --> 00:31:52 lost all my focus just now. That's what my brain
00:31:52 --> 00:31:57 sounds like all the time. Oh yeah, yeah, that's...
00:31:56 --> 00:31:58 Yeah, that's pretty much mine, too. I'm gonna
00:31:58 --> 00:32:01 have to figure out how to edit that out. Oh,
00:32:01 --> 00:32:04 no. Leave it in. No. Lino said leave it. We're
00:32:04 --> 00:32:06 gonna leave it. No, you're the boss. I'm just
00:32:06 --> 00:32:12 on your ship. It's sinking. No, no, no, no. I'll
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14 get a bucket. I'll get a bucket. Abandon. Abandon
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16 the ship. But, uh, I don't even know. I don't
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18 even remember, dude. I literally wiped my fucking
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20 slate clean. Oh, what you were thinking about
00:32:20 --> 00:32:22 and everything? Oh shit. I had a follow up. Food
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24 trucks, roaches. Food trucks, roaches, Bangladesh.
00:32:26 --> 00:32:29 Oh, the food of the roaches. I don't know. Like
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31 you've seen like the candy roaches and like ants
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33 are the food of the future. There's that hot
00:32:33 --> 00:32:36 sauce that puts ants in their hot sauce. Oh,
00:32:36 --> 00:32:38 yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. So we were like,
00:32:38 --> 00:32:40 we can eat this because we're sort of prepping
00:32:40 --> 00:32:42 for when the world explodes, I guess. Yeah, I
00:32:42 --> 00:32:46 think also. The Starbucks pink drink for a long
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48 time there had, it was basically made out of
00:32:48 --> 00:32:51 shit that was bugs. Whoa. Yeah, the bugs make
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53 the pink stuff. Are you lying to me right now
00:32:53 --> 00:32:56 or is that real? No, it's real. I would get my
00:32:56 --> 00:32:59 phone, but it's watching us. Starbucks, we're
00:32:59 --> 00:33:03 watching you. That's gross. That's disgusting.
00:33:04 --> 00:33:06 You can't just have, it's pink, but it's just
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09 like, I don't know. Right. The tailbone of a
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11 whale. The tailbone of a whale bone, dude. Yeah.
00:33:12 --> 00:33:15 So what up? So why did you get into comedy in
00:33:15 --> 00:33:18 the first place? What was something that drew
00:33:18 --> 00:33:21 you to that? Comedy, I've always liked laughing.
00:33:22 --> 00:33:24 I've already told you some of the stuff that
00:33:24 --> 00:33:26 happened when I was a kid, so something that
00:33:26 --> 00:33:29 made me happy was always the scapegoat, you know?
00:33:30 --> 00:33:33 Yeah. So I had a lot of surgeries growing up,
00:33:34 --> 00:33:37 so I'd hang out in a room all the time, and I
00:33:37 --> 00:33:40 get tired of video games. Just sitting in the
00:33:40 --> 00:33:43 bed, vegging out. And I'd go across Comedy Central
00:33:43 --> 00:33:47 and I'd see those old 30 minute specials. And
00:33:47 --> 00:33:48 I'd just watch the fuck out of them. And I just,
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51 over time, I never thought I could be a comedian
00:33:51 --> 00:33:56 because I'm from Mississippi. Yeah. Seriously.
00:33:56 --> 00:33:59 What? I'm being dead serious. I don't know. It
00:33:59 --> 00:34:00 must be the same way, like, if you live in, like,
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02 Alaska or something. Like, you feel like you're
00:34:02 --> 00:34:04 in the middle of nowhere. This isn't anywhere
00:34:04 --> 00:34:06 near right where the stars are. The stars are
00:34:06 --> 00:34:08 in New York. They're in California. They're like
00:34:08 --> 00:34:12 Las Vegas. Yeah. It's not a Mississippi thing.
00:34:12 --> 00:34:14 Sure. Yeah, I totally feel that. Yeah, for sure.
00:34:14 --> 00:34:17 I'm going to work in the oil field. Right. Yeah.
00:34:17 --> 00:34:19 I'm going to work at my uncle's shrimp boat or
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21 something, you know? So I never thought it was
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24 a thing. But growing up, I used comedy just to
00:34:24 --> 00:34:26 like, I don't know, escape. It's like everybody
00:34:26 --> 00:34:29 else does for a bit. Yeah. Yeah. Laughing's fun.
00:34:30 --> 00:34:32 We've been giggling, having fun. The soundboard
00:34:32 --> 00:34:36 for having a good time. That was perfect. Hell
00:34:36 --> 00:34:40 yeah. So yeah, man. Uh, Gabriela Iglesias was
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43 my first favorite comic. Oh, yeah, he's good.
00:34:43 --> 00:34:46 Yeah, Gabriela Iglesias and Jeff Dunham. So you
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48 like Jeff Dunham? Yeah, I love Jeff Dunham as
00:34:48 --> 00:34:51 a kid. Most people from Mississippi do. Oh, yeah?
00:34:51 --> 00:34:55 What, uh, like, was it the puppets? Yeah. The
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56 thing that got you, like, where you're just like,
00:34:56 --> 00:34:58 hell yeah, he's got puppets. Yeah, yeah, I had
00:34:58 --> 00:35:01 the jalapeno on the stick, you know? Yeah. Meow.
00:35:02 --> 00:35:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah the racist puppet old man. Yeah,
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08 dude. I know you like I know he's good because
00:35:08 --> 00:35:10 I've watched some of his stuff Yeah, I have I
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12 do have trouble connecting with him on a humorous
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14 level for some reason but like what is it about?
00:35:14 --> 00:35:18 What is it about him that you find funny? Honestly
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20 it back in the day. I was young so I thought
00:35:20 --> 00:35:24 it was just hilarious. Yeah It's also like magical
00:35:24 --> 00:35:27 being able to throw your voice and have two conversations
00:35:27 --> 00:35:29 going on at once with yourself, and the audience
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31 believes that's actually happening right now.
00:35:31 --> 00:35:33 At least, when I was a kid, I was like, whoa.
00:35:33 --> 00:35:36 Yeah, and it's so quick. Do they talk? Right.
00:35:37 --> 00:35:38 It comes like a little dumbass kid in the middle
00:35:38 --> 00:35:41 of Mississippi in a diaper, like... Yeah, and
00:35:41 --> 00:35:45 you're 12. Yeah, I'm 13. I'm going to puberty.
00:35:45 --> 00:35:48 I'm like, Jesus Christ, this guy's amazing. Just
00:35:48 --> 00:35:50 take the diaper off, dude. No, I still have it
00:35:50 --> 00:35:54 on right now. I never got uncomfortable without
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56 a diaper or so, you know. Well, that does explain
00:35:56 --> 00:36:00 the smell. Yeah, that's my fault. I gotta change.
00:36:00 --> 00:36:03 So was something about you, like, comedically
00:36:03 --> 00:36:07 that people don't know that you do? Fuck, I don't
00:36:07 --> 00:36:10 know. I mean, like, I don't know if I'm known
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12 enough for people to know I do anything, you
00:36:12 --> 00:36:14 know? Yeah, that was kind of a weird question.
00:36:14 --> 00:36:20 So let me kind of rephrase. I guess I mean, do
00:36:20 --> 00:36:23 you have a particular method when you're writing
00:36:23 --> 00:36:27 or anything like that? Or how is your writing
00:36:27 --> 00:36:32 kind of evolved? Honestly, just constantly working
00:36:32 --> 00:36:34 on stuff that I find fun. I don't know like I'm
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36 not like a sit down for hours type of guy But
00:36:36 --> 00:36:39 I have been in the past, you know, yeah, I don't
00:36:39 --> 00:36:41 trying different things like I can show you on
00:36:41 --> 00:36:46 my phone That like it is just stupid like it's
00:36:46 --> 00:36:49 just just ideas Yeah, you know just something's
00:36:49 --> 00:36:52 funny chive TV in jail just in case DMT Just
00:36:52 --> 00:36:55 random things and I'll go to do a mic and I'll
00:36:55 --> 00:36:56 have that thought in my head and try to work
00:36:56 --> 00:36:58 it out Okay, so you basically just like write
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00 it down in your notes and then you'll just take
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02 it and just bring it on stage and everything
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04 Yeah, cuz I feel like generally if I like write
00:37:04 --> 00:37:09 in my notes and have like like I Like when I
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10 read it, I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what I was
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13 talking about Yeah, so I can sort of remember
00:37:13 --> 00:37:15 the whole joke almost it's like storing them.
00:37:15 --> 00:37:19 It's like storing stuff Yeah, yeah, I do that.
00:37:19 --> 00:37:22 I do that too pockets of memory. Hmm. Yeah, exactly.
00:37:22 --> 00:37:24 I do that too. Like I'll just You know, like
00:37:24 --> 00:37:26 if I have just a crazy idea or something like
00:37:26 --> 00:37:28 that, I'll write it down as a prompt. And I'm
00:37:28 --> 00:37:30 like, the worst part is a lot of times I can't,
00:37:30 --> 00:37:32 like what I think of initially is going to be
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34 like really funny. And then, and then when I
00:37:34 --> 00:37:36 go back to write it, like I know I forgot you.
00:37:37 --> 00:37:40 Yeah. And also I could do a lot of things better
00:37:40 --> 00:37:43 in terms of like comedy and things like that.
00:37:43 --> 00:37:44 Of course, there's like everybody that's like
00:37:44 --> 00:37:47 working on something that they love. I don't
00:37:47 --> 00:37:51 record myself. Okay. People say that's essential.
00:37:51 --> 00:37:54 hate you to like go watch your recordings and
00:37:54 --> 00:37:58 listen and it might be mm -hmm I just yeah, I've
00:37:58 --> 00:37:59 never been over really do that. I sort of like
00:37:59 --> 00:38:03 base I Off of how I felt when I left. Yeah. Is
00:38:03 --> 00:38:06 there any particular reason why you didn't? Don't
00:38:06 --> 00:38:08 ever yeah, you don't ever record yourself. I
00:38:08 --> 00:38:11 think honestly most times I forget to okay because
00:38:11 --> 00:38:12 when I'm about to go on stage That's all I'm
00:38:12 --> 00:38:15 thinking about Mm -hmm, and I just forget about
00:38:15 --> 00:38:17 that aspect of it a little bit Like I could bring
00:38:17 --> 00:38:19 my whole camera, like I could bring my tripod
00:38:19 --> 00:38:22 with everything in my bag with me to the show
00:38:22 --> 00:38:25 or whatever. And once I get in the building to
00:38:25 --> 00:38:27 do the show, I don't even think about that again.
00:38:27 --> 00:38:30 No? No, I just start thinking about, I'm about
00:38:30 --> 00:38:32 to do comedy. I start thinking about my notes.
00:38:32 --> 00:38:35 Yeah. Yes, I forget all the time. Even people
00:38:35 --> 00:38:36 are like, yeah, you just put audio record on
00:38:36 --> 00:38:38 your phone. I just don't, I always forget. You
00:38:38 --> 00:38:40 just don't do it. I just forget. Yeah, yeah,
00:38:40 --> 00:38:44 I'm not a smart guy So I've seen you like, you
00:38:44 --> 00:38:46 know, like your roast battles and things like
00:38:46 --> 00:38:48 that. Yeah, you know, it's like oh god, dude
00:38:48 --> 00:38:51 Oh fuck. I just I forget there was one you just
00:38:51 --> 00:38:54 fucking killed. Oh What was it? Is it some of
00:38:54 --> 00:38:58 the lingo roast? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah that dude.
00:38:58 --> 00:39:02 That was insane I loved that. Thank you. That
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04 was so good. Yeah, tell us about that man Like
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06 what was going on in your mind and like, you
00:39:06 --> 00:39:08 know everything leading up to it and during it
00:39:08 --> 00:39:13 Uh, so, uh, every time I get a roast, I sit down
00:39:13 --> 00:39:15 and I honestly, I need to stop doing this, but
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17 I'll wait until like a week before, no matter
00:39:17 --> 00:39:20 how long. And I sort of, uh, what's it called?
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23 Stress prep. Stress prep. Yeah. Yeah. You know,
00:39:23 --> 00:39:25 cause it, it, that helps me get motivated. I
00:39:25 --> 00:39:28 think it was like ADHD thing or something when
00:39:28 --> 00:39:31 like, you know, if you have too much time, we
00:39:31 --> 00:39:33 need a debt. Anyway, that's not important. This
00:39:33 --> 00:39:35 is lame. Like you're, you're looking like the
00:39:35 --> 00:39:38 deadline adding the pressure. Actually drives
00:39:38 --> 00:39:41 you yes. Yeah, I get it. It's a weird thing,
00:39:41 --> 00:39:43 and I don't like it, but that is what it is I
00:39:43 --> 00:39:44 mean I will be thinking about it a lot until
00:39:44 --> 00:39:47 it happens, but like I the points of pressures
00:39:47 --> 00:39:49 on that's when like my body sort of locks in
00:39:49 --> 00:39:52 right sure Going into that roast. I was really
00:39:52 --> 00:39:54 excited about it. I was sort of nervous for some
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56 of the jokes I was going to tell mm -hmm because
00:39:56 --> 00:40:00 when I did that slave auction joke I That was
00:40:00 --> 00:40:47 a fucking good one, dude I Ran in my people some
00:40:47 --> 00:40:48 people were like you probably shouldn't tell
00:40:48 --> 00:40:51 that joke You know sure and I was actually sort
00:40:51 --> 00:40:54 of terrified to tell it I I thought it might
00:40:54 --> 00:40:56 be not a lot of people know that I'm like my
00:40:56 --> 00:40:58 grandma's black or like things like that I look
00:40:58 --> 00:40:59 like a white guy to a lot of people sometimes
00:41:00 --> 00:41:02 You look just like me. Yeah, I look just like
00:41:02 --> 00:41:04 you. Some people, like people think I'm Italian
00:41:04 --> 00:41:05 or like something like, I don't know, whatever
00:41:05 --> 00:41:09 the fuck, but I don't look black to people. So
00:41:09 --> 00:41:11 when I saw a joke like that, I'm like, this is
00:41:11 --> 00:41:15 going to come across crazy. And it was awesome,
00:41:15 --> 00:41:17 dude. It's probably honestly, I don't want to
00:41:17 --> 00:41:19 like, it seems braggadocious, but it's like one
00:41:19 --> 00:41:23 of the most like viral Rose battle clips. Yeah.
00:41:23 --> 00:41:26 Yeah. That was, dude, like being there live and
00:41:26 --> 00:41:29 like watching that. That was epic, dude. It was
00:41:29 --> 00:41:32 fucking hilarious. Some of those jokes I came
00:41:32 --> 00:41:35 up with that day, like the L -I -N -G -O thing,
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38 me and my buddy, Clem, we worked on that together
00:41:38 --> 00:41:41 on that creek outside of the Vulcan. That's my
00:41:41 --> 00:41:45 comedy job. We came up with that one like 20
00:41:45 --> 00:41:48 minutes before the roast. There's no specific
00:41:48 --> 00:41:50 way to do these things. They just sort of happen
00:41:50 --> 00:41:53 in a way. I find when I over -prepare, I screw
00:41:53 --> 00:41:56 myself. Sure. You psych yourself out? Yeah, 100
00:41:56 --> 00:41:59 % big time. If I sit down and I have dirty jokes
00:41:59 --> 00:42:01 that I'm ready to tell for this person or whatever,
00:42:02 --> 00:42:05 that's too many jokes. Gotcha. That's too much.
00:42:05 --> 00:42:08 I can't decide which one. I'll replace one last
00:42:08 --> 00:42:10 minute mentally, and it will just fuck up the
00:42:10 --> 00:42:12 whole flow of everything. Yeah, hold on one second.
00:42:14 --> 00:42:16 Sorry, I don't mean for us to have all these
00:42:16 --> 00:42:18 timeouts and everything. No, no. I just want
00:42:18 --> 00:42:21 to make sure that the microphone isn't obstructing
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22 you. Oh, this right here? Yeah, got you, got
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24 you. Yeah, yeah. So if you wanted to, like, kind
00:42:24 --> 00:42:27 of... Oh, do this? Yeah, yeah. There you go.
00:42:27 --> 00:42:30 Like this? Yeah. So just... This is comfortable.
00:42:30 --> 00:42:32 Yeah, that's a lot. That looks better, I think.
00:42:32 --> 00:42:36 Yeah. Okay, cool. I guess... Yeah. Proceed. That
00:42:36 --> 00:42:41 video went nuts, man. I never expected it to...
00:42:41 --> 00:42:44 It's one of the coolest things. You never know
00:42:44 --> 00:42:46 what's going to happen when you post something.
00:42:46 --> 00:42:50 Sure. But I posted it and... And I was like,
00:42:50 --> 00:42:52 uh, all right, that's going to be fun. Immediately
00:42:52 --> 00:42:54 just started fucking. Just blowing up. Yeah.
00:42:55 --> 00:42:58 Like 10 every few, like 10, 15 minutes.

00:43:01 --> 00:43:04 700 likes and it's almost at a million shares.

00:43:29 --> 00:43:31 bit different time separately guys trial rules

00:43:35 --> 00:43:38 audience that you don't even know oh you see

00:43:46 --> 00:43:56 your camera? Oh, yeah We need like five of these
00:43:56 --> 00:43:58 I want to have like a whole bunch of fun and
00:43:58 --> 00:44:00 just fucking right to do to do Oh, yeah, like
00:44:00 --> 00:44:04 the drummer from that one band Who knows yeah,
00:44:04 --> 00:44:08 do do do do do do do yes, so you like you prepared
00:44:08 --> 00:44:12 during crunch time and everything. And do you
00:44:12 --> 00:44:16 get any kind of, I don't know, any kind of facts
00:44:16 --> 00:44:18 or anything that you know that you can pick on
00:44:18 --> 00:44:20 this dude about? Yeah, usually we exchange information,
00:44:20 --> 00:44:22 you know? Oh, no shit. Yeah, we send each other
00:44:22 --> 00:44:24 notes and stuff like that, stuff they can make
00:44:24 --> 00:44:26 fun of. If we have more questions, then we just
00:44:26 --> 00:44:29 sort of, you know. Like, you never know how it's
00:44:29 --> 00:44:30 gonna go. Like, I've talked to someone like three
00:44:30 --> 00:44:32 in the morning the night before, and they're
00:44:32 --> 00:44:35 always like, what about this? Oh, okay. So it's
00:44:35 --> 00:44:37 not like bad blood? No, it's usually, it's all
00:44:37 --> 00:44:39 love. Like, I don't really have any bad blood
00:44:39 --> 00:44:42 towards anyone I'm roasting. And if you do, it
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44 just sort of sucks. Because you're, like, trying
00:44:44 --> 00:44:46 to hurt their feelings or whatever. Yeah. So
00:44:46 --> 00:44:47 that brings me to another question. I've asked
00:44:47 --> 00:44:50 this before to, like, to people who are roast
00:44:50 --> 00:44:52 comics. Like, has anybody ever sort of crossed
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54 the line and, like, said something that legitimately
00:44:54 --> 00:44:58 was, like, oh, dude, that's not cool? Not really,
00:44:58 --> 00:45:00 no. It's more of stuff that you, like, aren't
00:45:00 --> 00:45:04 prepared for that they knew, you know? Like if
00:45:04 --> 00:45:06 you didn't discuss about something in a roast
00:45:06 --> 00:45:08 battle and then they like bring it up in the
00:45:08 --> 00:45:11 roast As uh, you know i've had that happen to
00:45:11 --> 00:45:14 me like so get it wait get into that a little
00:45:14 --> 00:45:16 bit like what do you mean by that? Like when
00:45:16 --> 00:45:17 you ask facts for each other you tell people
00:45:17 --> 00:45:19 different things like if they had like specific
00:45:19 --> 00:45:21 facts about something you didn't know about Right
00:45:21 --> 00:45:24 and so like so when they go off it's leverage
00:45:24 --> 00:45:27 in a way Yeah, like this is what you could talk
00:45:27 --> 00:45:30 about. Yeah. Okay, but no, it's like uh, let
00:45:30 --> 00:45:32 me let me try to uh Because I've done this to
00:45:32 --> 00:45:34 someone and I've done it had it done to me and
00:45:34 --> 00:45:36 I realize it's not really a fun thing to do.
00:45:37 --> 00:45:39 Where you just pull. Pull some shit. Pull some
00:45:39 --> 00:45:42 shit off. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. Yeah, that does
00:45:42 --> 00:45:44 suck. Yeah. Yeah. I realize how much it sucks
00:45:44 --> 00:45:46 when it was done to me versus the other way around,
00:45:46 --> 00:45:49 too, you know? Yeah. Because you're like you'll
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50 be talking to someone about a roast and they're
00:45:50 --> 00:45:52 like close friends from like wherever the fuck.
00:45:53 --> 00:45:55 And then they give you a fact about them. You're
00:45:55 --> 00:45:56 like, oh, this is going to be fun, but it might
00:45:56 --> 00:45:59 be mean, but it's fun. Yeah. And then you do
00:45:59 --> 00:46:00 it. You're like, oh, I actually sort of felt
00:46:00 --> 00:46:04 mean. It so changes the dynamic. Yeah. Yeah.
00:46:04 --> 00:46:06 Yeah, you hope you're still friends afterwards
00:46:06 --> 00:46:10 Yeah, yeah, it's a I've only been doing this
00:46:10 --> 00:46:13 for like two years like this roast battle stuff
00:46:13 --> 00:46:15 only yeah, I mean, that's a long time Yeah, it
00:46:15 --> 00:46:17 feels like in the scheme like I don't know. I
00:46:17 --> 00:46:19 haven't had like 20 plus battles or anything
00:46:19 --> 00:46:21 I'm probably in like the tens. Oh, okay. Yeah.
00:46:22 --> 00:46:23 Yeah, I've like I haven't been doing it like
00:46:23 --> 00:46:25 that much, but I have been doing it So I'm still
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27 learning so that's like something you have to
00:46:27 --> 00:46:29 learn. I'd recommend comics if you want to like
00:46:30 --> 00:46:33 Do roast battles just like laid out on the table.
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35 Mm -hmm So where it's not or just like go have
00:46:35 --> 00:46:37 dinner with the guy or something. Mm -hmm Oh,
00:46:37 --> 00:46:40 yeah, and just kind of just spitball. Yeah, I
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42 love that now that makes it like just that makes
00:46:42 --> 00:46:44 me like makes it feel a little bit better I think
00:46:44 --> 00:46:50 yeah before my general idea was that You guys
00:46:50 --> 00:46:52 didn't even like they would like look at your
00:46:52 --> 00:46:54 fucking What the hell was that? Anyway, they
00:46:54 --> 00:46:57 would look at your like Instagram or some shit
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59 like that and then just pick random things, you
00:46:59 --> 00:47:02 know, like I just didn't know. Yeah, no, we try
00:47:02 --> 00:47:04 to like it's like a it's like a buddy system
00:47:04 --> 00:47:07 almost, you know, like really fucking cool, man.
00:47:07 --> 00:47:09 Yeah, because it's a it's supposed to be all
00:47:09 --> 00:47:12 of us there. You know, sure. Like if you're like
00:47:12 --> 00:47:14 about to dig into somebody is supposed to be
00:47:14 --> 00:47:17 like all of. Okay, but it cannot be like you're
00:47:17 --> 00:47:19 still roasting somebody and you can still be
00:47:19 --> 00:47:21 mean if you want to you know It's there's like
00:47:21 --> 00:47:25 a fun fine line of things you are able to I don't
00:47:25 --> 00:47:27 even know it all yet You know yeah in terms of
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29 crossing lines because you could just completely
00:47:29 --> 00:47:34 cross the line and just just be Yeah, you know
00:47:34 --> 00:47:37 just be the nastiest person in the world is because
00:47:37 --> 00:47:38 I don't think then I don't think it'll be funny
00:47:38 --> 00:47:41 then it can be But not always for the person
00:47:41 --> 00:47:43 that's getting roasted Sure. Yeah, because then
00:47:43 --> 00:47:46 it becomes about like who's going to win. Yeah.
00:47:46 --> 00:47:47 Like, well, I mean, like who's going to win,
00:47:47 --> 00:47:50 like an argument sort of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's
00:47:50 --> 00:47:53 not even roasting anymore. Yeah. It's just insulting.
00:47:53 --> 00:47:57 Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But it's a beautiful
00:47:57 --> 00:47:59 thing, man. It's really fun. It's helped me grow
00:47:59 --> 00:48:03 as a person roasting. You have to not take yourself
00:48:03 --> 00:48:05 so seriously and like in life in general, especially
00:48:05 --> 00:48:08 like roast battles because like It's all it's
00:48:08 --> 00:48:11 for the love of comedies that it's the game of
00:48:11 --> 00:48:13 that we're playing. You know, yeah, it's for
00:48:13 --> 00:48:15 the people Yeah, to make them laugh. You're sort
00:48:15 --> 00:48:19 of sacrificing yourself. You're like image or
00:48:19 --> 00:48:22 person or your soul mm -hmm be laughed at for
00:48:22 --> 00:48:24 these guys it's not always just stand -up comedy
00:48:24 --> 00:48:26 where You could you control the whole narrative
00:48:26 --> 00:48:29 of everything about you on stage, right? It's
00:48:29 --> 00:48:31 like, you really put yourself out there to be
00:48:31 --> 00:48:37 executed. It feels like those old Coliseum things
00:48:37 --> 00:48:40 where they're like fucking... I know, it does.
00:48:40 --> 00:48:43 There's even a panel of gods on the side just
00:48:43 --> 00:48:46 like, is he funny? Yeah. Whose joke do I like
00:48:46 --> 00:48:49 more? Should we kill this motherfucker? Yes.
00:48:49 --> 00:48:55 We'll let him live, we'll let him die. It's like,
00:48:55 --> 00:48:57 dude, ah, damn it. And it goes both ways, you
00:48:57 --> 00:48:59 know? And there's so many factors and stuff like
00:48:59 --> 00:49:03 that that you don't think of. Like, since that
00:49:03 --> 00:49:05 video went viral, a new factor that I've had
00:49:05 --> 00:49:07 to do with myself is the amount of pressure I
00:49:07 --> 00:49:10 put on myself now. I put a lot of pressure on
00:49:10 --> 00:49:13 myself in comedy, especially that now, because
00:49:13 --> 00:49:14 I feel like people are looking at me to do like
00:49:14 --> 00:49:17 that again. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah,
00:49:17 --> 00:49:19 you want to live up to people's expectations,
00:49:19 --> 00:49:29 you know? Absolutely. Yeah. But I'm tired. It's
00:49:29 --> 00:49:31 better what is wrong. I know I was like, why
00:49:31 --> 00:49:35 do I keep doing that? All right, I'm sorry. Well,
00:49:35 --> 00:49:38 yeah, it's just like uh, yeah, just because it
00:49:38 --> 00:49:41 it's like that meme you see on the internet all
00:49:41 --> 00:49:48 the time now The next battle is yourself Yeah,
00:49:50 --> 00:49:52 that's what it feels like the next you've leveled
00:49:52 --> 00:49:57 up the next battle is You. You. Bum, bum, bum,
00:49:57 --> 00:49:59 bum, bum, bum. That's what it feels like. It
00:49:59 --> 00:50:01 really, yeah, it does, man. It does. What is
00:50:01 --> 00:50:03 the most challenging aspect that you found of
00:50:03 --> 00:50:07 comedy? Honestly, just the social anxiety. I
00:50:07 --> 00:50:08 don't know if you can tell that about me, but
00:50:08 --> 00:50:12 I have crushing social anxiety sometimes. It's
00:50:12 --> 00:50:15 crazy. Really? Yeah. I'm surprised I could be
00:50:15 --> 00:50:18 in front of a crowd. What is it about social
00:50:18 --> 00:50:20 anxiety? Well, what happens to you? I don't know,
00:50:20 --> 00:50:23 like, I hate, like, I'll give you an example.
00:50:23 --> 00:50:26 Like, when I was in college, sitting in the classroom
00:50:26 --> 00:50:29 drove me fucking insane. Absolutely. Yeah. Just
00:50:29 --> 00:50:32 surrounded by people, the glances, everything
00:50:32 --> 00:50:34 in the side eye, every little movement. I think
00:50:34 --> 00:50:36 it might be kind of like a combination of like
00:50:36 --> 00:50:39 my ADHD. Sure. Hyper -focused on everything.
00:50:39 --> 00:50:41 So everything that's happening in the room, I'm
00:50:41 --> 00:50:43 fucking clocking it. And so when there's a lot
00:50:43 --> 00:50:46 of people in the room, there's a lot happening.
00:50:46 --> 00:50:48 Yeah. And my mind is just boom, boom, boom, boom,
00:50:48 --> 00:50:50 boom, boom. But if I'm in front of the crowd,
00:50:51 --> 00:50:55 I'm what's happening. Hey. You know? It's me.
00:50:55 --> 00:50:57 We can all just relax. I don't have to worry
00:50:57 --> 00:50:58 about you for a second. And then if you heckle
00:50:58 --> 00:51:00 or try to, you know, slap me in the face, we're
00:51:00 --> 00:51:04 talking about your wife, you know? Then it becomes
00:51:04 --> 00:51:07 a problem. But yeah. It really does. The biggest
00:51:07 --> 00:51:10 aspect, like I did, for instance, I did the comedy
00:51:10 --> 00:51:12 mothership roast battle for the first time this
00:51:12 --> 00:51:14 past weekend. Oh, man. Hell yeah. How was that?
00:51:15 --> 00:51:18 I lost. Okay, yeah, I think I thought I think
00:51:18 --> 00:51:21 people tell me I was funny Yeah, right, but I
00:51:21 --> 00:51:23 have been ripping myself apart because of my
00:51:23 --> 00:51:27 my nerves got to me my anxiety that that That
00:51:27 --> 00:51:29 will like the amount of pressure you put on yourself
00:51:29 --> 00:51:33 to perform. Well, yeah, like you can prepare
00:51:33 --> 00:51:35 all you want You can prepare you can prepare
00:51:35 --> 00:51:37 so much. But once you feel that feeling that
00:51:37 --> 00:51:40 you've never felt before Mm -hmm. You don't know
00:51:40 --> 00:51:43 like my first joke didn't go really the way we
00:51:43 --> 00:51:45 were the first battle to So it's just sort of
00:51:45 --> 00:51:47 like that type of thing. You're first. It's like
00:51:47 --> 00:51:51 opening a show. And I told the first joke in
00:51:51 --> 00:51:53 the night and it didn't really land the way I
00:51:53 --> 00:51:56 wanted it to. Oh, wow. And that feeling that
00:51:56 --> 00:51:59 came over me is something I never felt before
00:51:59 --> 00:52:02 because I've never performed on that stage like
00:52:02 --> 00:52:05 that before. I get it though. I get it, yeah.
00:52:05 --> 00:52:08 And immediately that just, I mean, I held my
00:52:08 --> 00:52:11 own and I made the crowd laugh and stuff. I can
00:52:11 --> 00:52:14 make them laugh. Mm -hmm in terms of the whole
00:52:14 --> 00:52:17 roast I was like super super in my head to the
00:52:17 --> 00:52:19 point where I couldn't be there I wasn't present
00:52:19 --> 00:52:21 at all. Yeah, like kind of hit you like a wall
00:52:21 --> 00:52:23 Yeah, just the present. Yeah, just being present
00:52:23 --> 00:52:26 like I'm almost not there anymore But I'm still
00:52:26 --> 00:52:27 there and I'm still goofing and having a good
00:52:27 --> 00:52:31 time and we're having fun But I'm like over here
00:52:31 --> 00:52:34 Yeah, I get it. Yeah. He's like, what's up, Lino?
00:52:34 --> 00:52:37 How you doing, man? This isn't exactly going
00:52:37 --> 00:52:39 the way you wanted, did you? I'm like, yeah,
00:52:40 --> 00:52:43 what's up, dude? What's up, my guy? Yeah, yeah,
00:52:43 --> 00:52:45 yeah. I do get it, man, because there's been
00:52:45 --> 00:52:50 times when I would just go out and I would have
00:52:50 --> 00:52:52 it set in my head. And I'd just be like, OK,
00:52:52 --> 00:52:55 in my head, I would imagine I know where people
00:52:55 --> 00:52:58 are supposed to laugh at. Yeah. And then - This
00:52:58 --> 00:53:00 was the funny part. This is the funny part if
00:53:00 --> 00:53:01 you don't think that's funny and then you get
00:53:01 --> 00:53:06 up and you say it and then fucking wait No, no,
00:53:06 --> 00:53:10 no Yeah, yeah, that's all dude. So you're like
00:53:10 --> 00:53:13 Immediately, you're just like, okay, like it
00:53:13 --> 00:53:17 just that one initial Fuck like it can throw
00:53:17 --> 00:53:20 off your entire thing immediately. Oh my second
00:53:20 --> 00:53:25 joke. I stumbled over the words Okay, you know
00:53:25 --> 00:53:27 and instead I like being like quick on my feet
00:53:27 --> 00:53:30 enough to be like I'm just to start over guys
00:53:30 --> 00:53:32 Which is something I could have easily done like
00:53:32 --> 00:53:35 I'm just gonna start that one over boom take
00:53:35 --> 00:53:38 two Yeah, I didn't I was like why fuck that one
00:53:38 --> 00:53:42 up didn't I? Hey, what's gotta laugh? Well, that's
00:53:42 --> 00:53:45 fine enough. I guess let's get this going. Yeah,
00:53:45 --> 00:53:47 I'm not winning this battle whatsoever when Aldo
00:53:47 --> 00:53:49 Mikado hilarious, dude He was just fucking murdering
00:53:49 --> 00:53:54 it and I just wasn't fully You know, yeah, it
00:53:54 --> 00:53:57 was in the pocket got it got to figure out get
00:53:57 --> 00:54:00 in the pocket But you know that loss is a beautiful
00:54:00 --> 00:54:03 thing in a way Because it rips the band -aid
00:54:03 --> 00:54:07 of that fear Yeah, that fear is not really there
00:54:07 --> 00:54:09 anymore. I'm not scared anymore. Yeah, cuz I
00:54:09 --> 00:54:15 was terrified not gonna lie Plus the stage, you
00:54:15 --> 00:54:17 know, it's like you're being at the mothership.
00:54:17 --> 00:54:20 Yeah the stage. Yeah, you want to you want to
00:54:20 --> 00:54:23 make a good impression? Yeah, you know Even I
00:54:23 --> 00:54:25 even texted Brian Moses like the next day like
00:54:25 --> 00:54:28 hey, man. I know it didn't go the way Anybody
00:54:28 --> 00:54:30 I know I didn't go the way he wanted I wanted
00:54:30 --> 00:54:32 to blah blah blah and he was like so kind about
00:54:32 --> 00:54:34 it He was like no you were great. What are you
00:54:34 --> 00:54:37 talking about type of thing? I'm like, oh don't
00:54:37 --> 00:54:39 lie. Yeah. Yeah. Why are you lying to me? I'm
00:54:39 --> 00:54:43 only I'm only kidding. Why do you hate me? I'm
00:54:43 --> 00:54:45 only joking. I'm sure you did like a lot better
00:54:45 --> 00:54:48 than that's what everyone's telling me and that's
00:54:48 --> 00:54:49 fine But that's like sort of part of all of this,
00:54:49 --> 00:54:53 you know, yeah You're gonna be your worst critic
00:54:53 --> 00:54:55 for the rest of your life, Rob. Every time, man.
00:54:55 --> 00:54:58 Every time. And I get it, dude, because I've
00:54:58 --> 00:55:03 been that way many times. But the thing is, me
00:55:03 --> 00:55:05 personally, I'm not very funny. I'm not good
00:55:05 --> 00:55:08 at stand -up. Like, 100%. I haven't really learned
00:55:08 --> 00:55:10 how to do the writing kind of thing. How long
00:55:10 --> 00:55:12 have you been doing it for? Three years. All
00:55:12 --> 00:55:16 right, yeah, dude, it takes time. I'm five years
00:55:16 --> 00:55:19 in, and I'm just now starting to get like my...
00:55:19 --> 00:55:22 Sort of footing. Yeah, I get it. You know, yeah
00:55:22 --> 00:55:29 It's yeah, it it's hard. It is hard Yes, it's
00:55:29 --> 00:55:31 not easy. Everyone was like I can just do that.
00:55:31 --> 00:55:34 It's like no it's not Something that everyone
00:55:34 --> 00:55:36 just does unless you're an insane person like
00:55:36 --> 00:55:38 us, you know, right? I was like, it's not a thing
00:55:38 --> 00:55:41 that you just do like there is there is a method
00:55:41 --> 00:55:45 to it And it's sort of like, like you gotta learn
00:55:45 --> 00:55:47 like all the different like just aspects and
00:55:47 --> 00:55:49 like idiosyncrasies of it and stuff. This thing
00:55:49 --> 00:55:53 is like in my face. It's just like, please don't
00:55:53 --> 00:55:56 fucking hit me. And a lot of the thing that people
00:55:56 --> 00:55:59 don't realize about comedy, I think, is that
00:55:59 --> 00:56:02 it's a mental battle. It is. Like it's a huge
00:56:02 --> 00:56:04 mental battle. Like, for instance, like, like
00:56:04 --> 00:56:07 again, if I didn't do as well, like I didn't
00:56:07 --> 00:56:09 do as well as I wanted to the other weekend.
00:56:10 --> 00:56:13 Right. So now I've been like, do I belong? You
00:56:13 --> 00:56:15 know, things like that. Yes. Do I, do I belong
00:56:15 --> 00:56:18 here? Yeah. Am I, am I actually funny? Did I
00:56:18 --> 00:56:20 deserve to be up there? That, that thing, you
00:56:20 --> 00:56:21 know, but then there's like the other part of
00:56:21 --> 00:56:23 me is like, you wouldn't, if you didn't deserve
00:56:23 --> 00:56:26 to be there, then you wouldn't have been. Yeah.
00:56:27 --> 00:56:30 So there's just all these things you gotta, oh,
00:56:30 --> 00:56:32 you're on stage. Oh, you gotta pee, you gotta
00:56:32 --> 00:56:35 pee, you gotta poo. I gotta take a shit right
00:56:35 --> 00:56:37 now, I don't know. Oh wait, what was my next
00:56:37 --> 00:56:39 joke again? Fuck, what was my next joke? Oh,
00:56:39 --> 00:56:41 I should have smoked half a joint earlier, that
00:56:41 --> 00:56:44 was so stupid. Right, right. Yeah, I promised
00:56:44 --> 00:56:47 myself I wasn't gonna get high before stand -up
00:56:47 --> 00:56:49 comedy shows and I did it again. Yeah, are you
00:56:49 --> 00:56:51 thinking all that on stage? Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
00:56:51 --> 00:56:54 Wow. While I'm telling the jokes. That's crazy.
00:56:54 --> 00:56:55 A hundred percent, yes. That's crazy, because
00:56:55 --> 00:56:58 I better, you know, like, when I'm on stage,
00:56:59 --> 00:57:01 like... It's like I'm telling one joke and my
00:57:01 --> 00:57:03 mind is sort of thinking about the next one.
00:57:04 --> 00:57:06 Like I'm trying to set up like in my head, like
00:57:06 --> 00:57:10 how it's going to be. And I try to make myself
00:57:10 --> 00:57:12 like a little bit more present. Exactly. That's
00:57:12 --> 00:57:14 the battle I'm talking about is being present.
00:57:14 --> 00:57:17 You're battling to be present. Yeah. Because
00:57:17 --> 00:57:20 I could let those things overcome my thoughts
00:57:20 --> 00:57:22 or I could just not and just keep flow stating.
00:57:23 --> 00:57:26 Yeah, and just keep rolling but that's the battle
00:57:26 --> 00:57:27 and that's a lot of the learning that your is
00:57:27 --> 00:57:30 like mental fortitude You're like training yourself.
00:57:30 --> 00:57:32 You're training yourself. Yeah, it's it's it
00:57:32 --> 00:57:35 is kind of crazy Like there there's so many people
00:57:35 --> 00:57:37 that like I'll come across who just randomly
00:57:37 --> 00:57:39 be like, oh, yeah I wanted to try that and it's
00:57:39 --> 00:57:41 like yeah, go ahead and do that, but it's not
00:57:41 --> 00:57:44 exactly a thing that you're like Yeah, let me
00:57:44 --> 00:57:48 just go try like it's like I'm not like, you
00:57:48 --> 00:57:50 know, I'm just going to go to the standup real
00:57:50 --> 00:57:51 quick and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's
00:57:51 --> 00:57:54 like, when you get to a point that you're like,
00:57:54 --> 00:57:56 oh, I want to make this like the thing that I
00:57:56 --> 00:57:58 do. Yeah. You know, kind of like music, deciding
00:57:58 --> 00:58:01 to do music. Yeah. You know? How seriously are
00:58:01 --> 00:58:03 you going to take it? How seriously are you going
00:58:03 --> 00:58:06 to take it? Which I have a hard time with. If
00:58:06 --> 00:58:09 you can't tell, guys, I'm a goofy, fun, loving,
00:58:09 --> 00:58:11 having guy. I like to have a good time. Maybe
00:58:11 --> 00:58:14 it's still a fault. I like to have a fun time.
00:58:15 --> 00:58:17 But that's what I try to bring, too, so I feel
00:58:17 --> 00:58:19 like if I stop trying to have fun, then I won't
00:58:19 --> 00:58:22 be as fun. Yeah, yeah. You know? I want to be
00:58:22 --> 00:58:25 that fun guy on stage. But like, yeah, taking
00:58:25 --> 00:58:27 it serious, that's why I say five years, because
00:58:27 --> 00:58:28 five years ago I started trying to take com.
00:58:28 --> 00:58:30 I like did like an open mic or two like a couple
00:58:30 --> 00:58:33 years before that, but that doesn't count. I
00:58:33 --> 00:58:34 know what you mean. Five years is like how long
00:58:34 --> 00:58:38 I've been trying to do this. Some people can
00:58:38 --> 00:58:39 stumble into it. Some people are just savants,
00:58:40 --> 00:58:41 but like for the most part, like you have to
00:58:41 --> 00:58:43 really want to do this and love it enough to
00:58:43 --> 00:58:46 like... You know, take the punches and the failures
00:58:46 --> 00:58:49 and whatever, along with the successes. You just
00:58:49 --> 00:58:51 got to keep rolling, I guess, if you really want
00:58:51 --> 00:58:53 it. Yeah, if you really want it, man. Yeah, if
00:58:53 --> 00:58:55 you really want it, you've got to do it. Yeah.
00:58:55 --> 00:58:57 But you can try stand -up comedy. Anyone can
00:58:57 --> 00:58:59 try anything. I could try pooping in public tomorrow.
00:59:00 --> 00:59:02 Yeah. But am I going to do it all the time? Only
00:59:02 --> 00:59:05 if I'm committed. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. Because
00:59:05 --> 00:59:08 I'll probably know somebody who can help you
00:59:08 --> 00:59:11 with that or hold your hand and stuff. I'm talking
00:59:11 --> 00:59:14 about the street, but yes. I'm talking about
00:59:14 --> 00:59:15 the fucking street, right? Yeah, that wasn't
00:59:15 --> 00:59:16 gonna hold my hand in the street. That's something
00:59:16 --> 00:59:18 I had to do on my own. I was like, yeah, I can
00:59:18 --> 00:59:21 arrange for like a pickup around noon. Yeah,
00:59:21 --> 00:59:26 I need a baby pooper. It's just a baby poop.
00:59:28 --> 00:59:32 That was really good. All right. Dude, like every
00:59:32 --> 00:59:34 now and again, I'll just pull that out. Yeah,
00:59:34 --> 00:59:36 that's a good voice. Thanks, man. I like to like
00:59:36 --> 00:59:38 order food like that, you know, like back in
00:59:38 --> 00:59:41 the day when you could order like dominoes or
00:59:41 --> 00:59:43 some shit. I used to be, I used to call up like
00:59:43 --> 00:59:46 whatever and be like, I want two pepperoni cheese
00:59:46 --> 00:59:50 pizzas with cheese and pepperonis on the place.

01:03:14 --> 01:03:16 I don't know. I was really scared. I was like
01:03:16 --> 01:03:18 a day at like 29, the last day of being 29. I
01:03:18 --> 01:03:22 was like crying. Really? It impacted you that
01:03:22 --> 01:03:24 bad, huh? Not that bad. I did some ketamine and
01:03:24 --> 01:03:27 I got real sad about it. What is ketamine like?
01:03:28 --> 01:03:30 Ketamine, it feels like life's in slow motion
01:03:30 --> 01:03:32 for like a second almost. It can either make
01:03:32 --> 01:03:35 you really happy or like really emotional. Oh,
01:03:35 --> 01:03:37 weird. Yeah, it's a horse tranquilizer. Didn't
01:03:37 --> 01:03:39 know that yeah, that's what that it is. They
01:03:39 --> 01:03:41 use it for therapy now, too It was like a very
01:03:41 --> 01:03:43 therapeutic drug really kids don't do drugs.
01:03:43 --> 01:03:48 It's bad for you, but it's so fun. I Have never
01:03:48 --> 01:03:50 I've like I've never even done that it was at
01:03:50 --> 01:03:52 a party once I went to and then somebody was
01:03:52 --> 01:03:55 like straight like railing fucking ketamine there
01:03:55 --> 01:03:57 Yeah, he was like do you want some ketamine?
01:03:57 --> 01:04:00 I was like um what is it? You know like I was
01:04:00 --> 01:04:04 just asking him about it and There was really
01:04:04 --> 01:04:07 it wasn't a very good explanation. No, so he's
01:04:07 --> 01:04:10 probably high as fuck on Ketterman. Yeah Now
01:04:10 --> 01:04:12 you say that he's probably having some fun on
01:04:12 --> 01:04:15 that kit. You know I'm saying yeah, I've I've
01:04:15 --> 01:04:18 experienced experimented with drugs in my life.
01:04:18 --> 01:04:22 I used to work at a pot farm in Washington Whoa,
01:04:22 --> 01:04:25 that's awesome. Yeah, I uh, we're the place called
01:04:25 --> 01:04:27 fat panda I don't know if we could talk about
01:04:27 --> 01:04:31 that fat panda why I don't know I'm gonna slander
01:04:31 --> 01:04:35 him a bit Slander. No. I got fired because I
01:04:35 --> 01:04:39 like to bring my phone into the room. You're
01:04:39 --> 01:04:40 not allowed to bring your phone in the room.
01:04:40 --> 01:04:42 That's a big no -no. But the only reason I did
01:04:42 --> 01:04:46 it was to play music for everybody. Because we
01:04:46 --> 01:04:48 all listen to the shitty radio all day. Yeah.
01:04:48 --> 01:04:50 And I'd come in there and start playing some
01:04:50 --> 01:04:52 Juicy J or something and we'd all be popping.
01:04:53 --> 01:04:55 pumped as fuck, like right, put there on some
01:04:55 --> 01:04:56 Metallica, and we're like, there's some tool,

01:05:23 --> 01:05:27 a I don't know. I don't want to say nothing,
01:05:27 --> 01:05:30 but it's a fun time. I'm sure cops know what
01:05:30 --> 01:05:32 a fucking barter fair is. They're not retarded.
01:05:32 --> 01:05:39 Or are they? Every time I hit it, I'm like, I

01:05:43 --> 01:05:48 what a barter fair is. Like I said, I'm looking
01:05:48 --> 01:05:51 at everything all the time fucking a barter fair
01:05:51 --> 01:05:53 and I'm also thinking about fashion You know,
01:05:53 --> 01:05:56 it's fine. Ah a barter fair because it doesn't
01:05:56 --> 01:05:58 necessarily involve drugs if you do the drugs
01:05:58 --> 01:06:00 part That's sort of what you do, but it's not
01:06:00 --> 01:06:03 really all it is, you know, oh So it's a feather

01:08:19 --> 01:08:21 LSD I've ever seen at one of those fights. I
01:08:21 --> 01:08:24 did the most LSD I've ever done at one of those
01:08:24 --> 01:08:30 guys. How much? Oh, man. So these friends I had,
01:08:31 --> 01:08:36 we had vials of LSD. Word? Yeah, yeah. So one
01:08:36 --> 01:08:39 drop is a hit, and it was like a thousand hits
01:08:39 --> 01:08:43 in a vial. Jesus. Did you just drink it? I got
01:08:43 --> 01:08:49 close. No. So it was just like LSD and Everclear.
01:08:50 --> 01:08:52 Whoa. So it was like crystals of LSD. So if you
01:08:52 --> 01:08:54 put like a blue light on it, it turned like completely
01:08:54 --> 01:08:56 green because of how pure it was. Jesus. Yeah,
01:08:56 --> 01:09:02 it was like a lot. It was a fun time. Dude. Just
01:09:02 --> 01:09:04 kidding, kids, don't do drugs. I had the best
01:09:04 --> 01:09:05 time of my life. What the hell happened to you
01:09:05 --> 01:09:09 during that time, man? Oh, dude, I was living
01:09:09 --> 01:09:11 with these guys, so we were just... Living Grateful
01:09:11 --> 01:09:13 Dead style for a while just like every day the
01:09:13 --> 01:09:16 house we lived in was like Beatles themed because
01:09:16 --> 01:09:19 the owner like was a huge fan. So we just Fucking
01:09:19 --> 01:09:21 Beatles everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, well Lucy in
01:09:21 --> 01:09:24 the sky with diamonds all the time LSD. Yeah,
01:09:24 --> 01:09:27 let's do it Lucy in the sky with diamonds. It
01:09:27 --> 01:09:30 was fun Like I said that guy so a drop is like
01:09:30 --> 01:09:33 a tiny drop. Yeah when I saw it he put a puddle
01:09:33 --> 01:09:36 Jesus, there's a puddle on his hand. Oh my god,
01:09:36 --> 01:09:40 and he licked that And then he put a drop in
01:09:40 --> 01:09:42 his eye, a drop in the other eye, and one drop
01:09:42 --> 01:09:44 in each ear. The fuck, dude? I think he did a
01:09:44 --> 01:09:47 drop on his tongue, too. Yeah, it was a lot of
01:09:47 --> 01:09:49 LSD. He probably did, like, fucking... Is it
01:09:49 --> 01:09:51 different? Like, does it make it different if
01:09:51 --> 01:09:53 you put it in your ear versus your eye? I think
01:09:53 --> 01:09:56 that's what he was trying to find out. Oh, okay.
01:09:56 --> 01:09:57 I never got the chance to ask him. I didn't realize
01:09:57 --> 01:10:00 that this was experimental. I think it was fully
01:10:00 --> 01:10:02 about science. I kind of thought that he was
01:10:02 --> 01:10:04 like, you know what? I have a method. Do not
01:10:04 --> 01:10:08 judge. I've been doing this since I was 12, boy.
01:10:10 --> 01:10:16 Like 20 minutes later, he's like... Oh, the next
01:10:16 --> 01:10:18 time I saw him was like the next morning. No
01:10:18 --> 01:10:22 way. And he was... He was at the breakfast table
01:10:22 --> 01:10:25 with his head like this. Like, dude, there's
01:10:25 --> 01:10:28 no way he wasn't still tripping. No, he 100 %
01:10:28 --> 01:10:31 was. He 100 % was still tripping. And I was inspired
01:10:31 --> 01:10:35 enough to be like, he can do a puddle. So can
01:10:35 --> 01:10:39 I! Damn, dude. You blasted off. How long were
01:10:39 --> 01:10:42 you tripping for? Probably like 14, 15 hours.
01:10:42 --> 01:10:44 It was a long time. Probably still a little bit
01:10:44 --> 01:10:45 in the morning, but it does wear off. You're
01:10:45 --> 01:10:48 like, I'm still tripping, dude. Yeah. Oh, man.
01:10:49 --> 01:10:53 If there's a psych or not, if that's a thing,
01:10:53 --> 01:10:57 I've tried to be one, at least for a little bit.
01:10:57 --> 01:11:02 Because I did the puddle. I just saw crazy. Visuals
01:11:02 --> 01:11:03 that you got like a lot of shit on the line you
01:11:03 --> 01:11:05 people people who've done it. No, it was just
01:11:05 --> 01:11:07 intense It was very intense. Yeah, and then I
01:11:07 --> 01:11:09 probably I did whippets and all these crazy shit
01:11:09 --> 01:11:12 mushrooms Yeah, dude, I actually it's really
01:11:12 --> 01:11:14 ridiculous how high I was trying to get for really
01:11:14 --> 01:11:17 no reason at all I mean, but I get it though.
01:11:17 --> 01:11:20 Yeah, the funny thing is dude like You know,
01:11:21 --> 01:11:25 uh, you know AJ. Um Yeah, that's my buddy. Yeah,
01:11:25 --> 01:11:26 I told him I told him I was gonna be on here.
01:11:26 --> 01:11:28 He was uh, yeah. Yeah, we work together Oh, no
01:11:28 --> 01:11:31 shit. I just now realize that you fucking work
01:11:31 --> 01:11:33 at Vulcan. Yeah, I love AJ. So his episode is
01:11:33 --> 01:11:37 out. Guys, go catch his episode. But his episode
01:11:37 --> 01:11:38 is out, dude, and we had this little part where
01:11:38 --> 01:11:41 we were talking about the very same fucking thing.
01:11:41 --> 01:11:44 And I did an eighth of Mushrooms, and my world
01:11:44 --> 01:11:47 was flipped upside the fuck down, but not in
01:11:47 --> 01:11:51 a good way. I've never had a good trip. But I
01:11:51 --> 01:11:53 think it's because I'm too much of a control
01:11:53 --> 01:11:57 freak. They don't like to let loose. Yeah, so
01:11:57 --> 01:11:59 we got we got like about like 10 more minutes.
01:11:59 --> 01:12:01 All right cool, but uh flow I'm having a good
01:12:01 --> 01:12:03 time. Yeah. Yeah, but uh, but yeah No, I like
01:12:03 --> 01:12:06 to I like to let loose and uh, you know but I
01:12:06 --> 01:12:08 mean I like to be in control and it's hard for
01:12:08 --> 01:12:10 me to let loose is what I was trying to say and
01:12:10 --> 01:12:13 and so It just I don't know like even the thought
01:12:13 --> 01:12:16 like he was talking about how he made the mushroom
01:12:16 --> 01:12:18 tea and that was how he like preferred it Yeah,
01:12:19 --> 01:12:21 and uh, and did you just like straight like eat
01:12:21 --> 01:12:24 that shit? Yeah, I was speaking of like at the
01:12:24 --> 01:12:26 bar to fair like you could get anything you wanted
01:12:27 --> 01:12:30 Yeah. Anything you want. It was crazy. One time
01:12:30 --> 01:12:32 we were all chilling in a bonfire, right? And
01:12:32 --> 01:12:34 this guy pulls his car, he backs it up to the
01:12:34 --> 01:12:39 fire, opens his trunk, excuse me, he opens his
01:12:39 --> 01:12:42 trunk, he pulls out like a 10 gallon bag of mushrooms,
01:12:43 --> 01:12:45 and he's like, hey, who's hungry? Holy fuck.
01:12:45 --> 01:12:48 And we walked over and there were like mushrooms
01:12:48 --> 01:12:51 longer than my fingers, you know, that were like
01:12:51 --> 01:12:53 white and purple. Jesus. And I ate like three
01:12:53 --> 01:12:58 of those. And then, I had half of a mushroom
01:12:58 --> 01:13:00 chocolate, and I think I was tripping on LSD
01:13:00 --> 01:13:05 at the same time. Oh my god, dude. What's going
01:13:05 --> 01:13:06 on in your mind? What happened? There's nothing
01:13:06 --> 01:13:09 going on in my mind. I'm just a little goblin.
01:13:10 --> 01:13:13 No, no. What was your tripping like? It was really
01:13:13 --> 01:13:17 hard to put words into it. I got so high. At
01:13:17 --> 01:13:19 one point, I sat in the back of my car to fall
01:13:19 --> 01:13:22 asleep, and I just closed my eyes. It looked
01:13:22 --> 01:13:26 like the Windows starting screen. Yeah, just
01:13:26 --> 01:13:29 slowly, I saw like a sun, it looked like it was
01:13:29 --> 01:13:31 melting. I stared at the sky for hours, like
01:13:31 --> 01:13:34 the stars. Really? The stars, man, the stars
01:13:34 --> 01:13:36 are so beautiful. Legit, that sounds peaceful
01:13:36 --> 01:13:39 though. It was great. I started like a group
01:13:39 --> 01:13:44 of people staring at the stars. I would have
01:13:44 --> 01:13:46 joined in too, man. Yeah, because I was staring
01:13:46 --> 01:13:49 at the stars for so long, I noticed that they
01:13:49 --> 01:13:52 were moving. And I was like, hey man, that fucking
01:13:52 --> 01:13:54 star up there is moving. If you watch it long
01:13:54 --> 01:13:57 enough, it's moving. And he's like, no way. I
01:13:57 --> 01:13:59 was like, yeah, check it out. And then the next
01:13:59 --> 01:14:00 person came along like, what are you guys doing
01:14:00 --> 01:14:02 staring at the sky? Like, man, that fucking star
01:14:02 --> 01:14:05 is moving. I swear to God. Until it was like
01:14:05 --> 01:14:07 20 people in a circle. We're all just sitting
01:14:07 --> 01:14:09 there staring at the stars. And then some guy
01:14:09 --> 01:14:11 who wasn't high off his dick came up. I was like,
01:14:11 --> 01:14:13 what are you guys doing? They're like, we're
01:14:13 --> 01:14:15 staring at the star, man. Look, it's moving.

01:14:21 --> 01:14:24 to? The clouds? Yeah, it's 12 in the afternoon.
01:14:24 --> 01:14:26 You guys are looking directly into the sun. It's
01:14:26 --> 01:14:31 noon. The guy that walked up that was smart was
01:14:31 --> 01:14:33 like, so how long have you been staring at the
01:14:33 --> 01:14:36 stars? Like a couple hours, I guess. Yeah, the
