#183 - Dan "The Hitman" Rathmann - Comedian

1
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:08,600
You know, just imagine that 13
little midgets like running

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,000
around some check the album, you
know, whatever you call.

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,880
It and they hear.
Well, 13 naked midgets man

4
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:23,560
twitchers we let the music play
a little bit, just a.

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,440
Little guys, but I hope you
don't mind.

6
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,960
I'm having a little bit of a
green.

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,920
No, you're good, dude.
You're good.

8
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,360
Man, it's 5:00 somewhere.
It's 6.

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,240
So we're, we're, we're back due.
OK, we lost Dan.

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,920
Uh oh.
Dan disappeared.

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,160
I was counting on Dan.
What was the comedian that wore

12
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,880
a mask?
Remember that comedian that wore

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,520
a mask the whole time?
Who was that?

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,880
I don't know.
There he is.

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,160
Oh, that's weird.
There's four of you.

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,720
Something, something's wrong,
Dan.

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,840
It'll go away.
And there.

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,000
That happens to you sometimes
too when you come.

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,800
Oh, does it?
OK.

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,600
Hey, welcome to the Chris and
Mike show.

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,520

and over there.
There he is.

27
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,440
Is Dan Rathman the funny man?
He's going to join us for an

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,520
hour and we're going to have all
kinds of things to talk about

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,160
shenanigan wise, and he's going
to make us laugh and cry until

30
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,320
our jaw is hurt and then we're
going to have to go away.

31
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:36,040
But we're going to leave you on
a happy note because that's what

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,760
we like to do, bring positivity
and kindness to the world.

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,200
So without further ado, Dan
Rathman, who are you?

34
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Coming on today.
Well it's, it's simple man.

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,320
I I started this journey about 3
years ago coming up in May.

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,960
It started from sadness and I
turned it into a positive.

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,600
All right, I'll.
Figure that that's awesome so

38
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,680
here we are I almost three years
later May is going to be my

39
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,880
three-year mark in comedy.
I started from nothing.

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,160
I started shows and and open
mics in my area that weren't

41
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,200
going on.
So I'm just kind of like being

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,840
that trailblazer, so.
You were just, you were just

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,400
there by yourself for an open
mic.

44
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,720
Yeah, I just, you know, doing my
own thing.

45
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,040
Cool loneliness.
That's awesome.

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200
Hey, dude, that's a that's a lot
of lot of lot of bands start

47
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,880
with open mic nights, man, where
you go and, and you're playing

48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,160
for the the for the crew of the
bar, you know, and, and your

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,160
friends and nobody else.
And the one drunk guy that is

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,000
passed out in the corner.
Right.

51
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,400
And then he wakes up and he
swears to God you're the best

52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,920
thing that's ever graced his
presence in his entire life

53
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:43,440
because he just had a moment
when you were on stage, man, I

54
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,720
just felt it.
I was there like, dude, you were

55
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,960
drunk and passed out in the
corner, but OK, you want a

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,080
T-shirt?
You got to wait out there.

57
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,400
But no, no, actually it's kind
of weird.

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,520
My start was not the same as
everybody else's.

59
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,120
Like I literally the first time
I got on stage, I was like 45

60
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,520
minutes of time of me riffing
and and just kind of life story

61
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,920
stuff.
Wow.

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,400
And we have like over 50 people
show up because I might, I'll,

63
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,400
I'll give you the back story.
Honestly, it's got, like I said,

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,880
the sadness art part.
My high school theater teacher

65
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,680
had passed away and
unexpectedly, I didn't know she

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,040
was even sick or anything like
that.

67
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,000
But the weird thing was, is that
I had ran into her like a few

68
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,240
years back and I was running, I
was doing like security or

69
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,880
something someplace.
And the last thing she had said

70
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,840
to me is I thought you would be
in Hollywood by now.

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,680
So that kind of resonated with
me.

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,360
And I was like, man, I'm not
doing what I'm supposed to be

73
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,800
doing, you know, So I kicked it
in here.

74
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,120
I created this whole thing, this
philosophy called effort meets

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,440
fate.
It's on my wristbands and stuff

76
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,960
like that, which I'll show you
guys later on as we go.

77
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,120
But just kind of I put out a, a
feeler saying, hey, I want to do

78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,600
comedy on Facebook.
I said I wanted to do a, you

79
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,400
know, a comedy night or open mic
or something.

80
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,360
Local bar owner here in town, A
buddy of mine, he's he no longer

81
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,040
has the bar.
The bar is closed and he's moved

82
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,920
on to a different location.
He said, hey, let's do it here.

83
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,040
And the bar was called
Rendezvous here in St.

84
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,320
Joseph, MO.
But my buddy Keith Dudley, he

85
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,000
was the one that owned it and he
gave us a kick start there.

86
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,400
I started making Flyers, which
was kind of funny because I'd

87
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,160
never made a flyer or anything
like that.

88
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,160
So I was just flying by the seat
of my pants.

89
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:21,959
It looked like we're.
Super familiar with that.

90
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,120
We did that in the band man all
the time.

91
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,520
Find the 10 hottest chicks and
say hey, bring your friends.

92
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,880
Yeah, I, I just started Facebook
marketing, you know, like

93
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,800
pushing it, pushing it.
You know, I got a couple other

94
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,880
guys that wanted to do some
comedy and stuff that were

95
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,920
aspiring comedians.
Most of them are not doing any

96
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,560
comedy now.
They've kind of just kind of

97
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,840
fell off or whatever for
whatever reason.

98
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,240
But I just kick started it, man.
We, we filled up the room very

99
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,480
first time.
I, I headlined the show, I

100
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,360
hosted the show and just been
flying by the seat of my pants,

101
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,680
you know, the whole time.
I've kind of honed my crap now.

102
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,240
I've done a lot more writing and
stuff, but I'm I'm more known

103
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,880
for the off the cuff and crowd
work stuff and which some.

104
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,040
Kind of not not to not right,
but not to compare your kind of

105
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,960
like the Matt Rife thing where
you start just just engaging

106
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,800
with the the.
What the fuck?

107
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,560
I do a little bit, I do a little
bit, but I it's not I, I, I do

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,120
have my material.
It just seems like every time

109
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,680
I'm on a stage, it seems like
people just want to talk to me

110
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,240
for some reason.
I don't know if I got a face for

111
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,960
that or but they just want to
talk to me.

112
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,080
So I use it to my advantage.
Other comics, they hate it.

113
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,960
They hate the interruptions and
all that stuff.

114
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,880
But me, it's like I tell them if
I'm on a show with people that

115
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,240
don't like it, hey, don't, don't
interrupt these guys, but I'm

116
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,800
fine.
Heckle me, whatever, I'll work

117
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,040
with you.
We'll make it fun for everybody.

118
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,080
So.
I think it's AI think it's a

119
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,240
sign of intelligence, man, that
you could just you could write.

120
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,480
OK, well, you can just you can
just riff off somebody's saying

121
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,600
something to you like without.
Pissing them off or losing the

122
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,240
rest of the audience right?
That's the trick is not a great

123
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,960
person get hostile and then not
losing the rest of your audience

124
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,160
in the same breath, right?
Oh.

125
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,000
I've had, I've had people walk,
I've had people walk on me.

126
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,560
I think everybody.
Does well yeah, but it's still I

127
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,040
just think it's it's a lot it's
yeah.

128
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,600
I just think it's a level of,
like I said, of intelligence

129
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,240
where you, I do too, for sure
fly from the seat of your pants

130
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,440
and.
All my favorite comedians have

131
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,320
that ability and you hear him
talk about it, you know, you

132
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,960
have to have that ability.
You can call it thick skin.

133
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,480
I agree with Chris.
It's more intelligence because

134
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,280
you have to survive that, right?
That's what people don't

135
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:35,560
understand.
Just like he was up there as the

136
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,160
front man if the band fell
apart, there he is standing

137
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,080
there.
What do I do?

138
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,040
Right?
I got to make sure that we don't

139
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,760
lose these people and there's
not a riot.

140
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,840
You got to make sure that that
person either gets dealt with

141
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,880
and doesn't ruin your show or
make you lose your focus for the

142
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,320
rest of the show, right?
Yeah, Oh yeah, yeah.

143
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,440
One of my first ever sold out
shows I did, I actually had to

144
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,240
scrap like 90% of my set and
just go out and crowd work

145
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,040
because we had another another
person that was on the set that

146
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,680
just didn't take well to his
comedy.

147
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,120
And he's a good comedian too.
And that's what's crazy.

148
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,760
But you know, not every crowd is
going to love you.

149
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,200
But whenever that happened, he
was in between me and the the

150
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,360
opener and I just actually went
out in the crowd, like literally

151
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,400
went out in the crowd and
started just riffing off the

152
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,680
tables and just changed up the
game and made everybody come

153
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,640
back to it.
There was like 180 a 183 people

154
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,640
in that crowd.
So wow, nice, but.

155
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,480
But I mean, it's just, that's my
style though.

156
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840
I mean, I don't have, I don't.
The thing is about me is I'm

157
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,880
predictably unpredictable.
You know?

158
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,280
Like the one thing you predict
about me is that I'm going to be

159
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,600
unpredictable.
Once I got the mic, you never

160
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,680
know what I'm going to say.
I'm going to bring up my normal

161
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,520
material.
But half the time there's some

162
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,480
stuff that I just make up per
audience.

163
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,400
So it changes every show I'm on
so.

164
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,320
If you had a style to compare it
to Dan, who would you compare

165
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,880
yourself to?
Like honestly, it's kind of

166
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,560
hard.
I have my own cadence on stage.

167
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,680
Like it?
It's like no.

168
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,880
I'm not, I'm not saying like,
you know, are you closer to like

169
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,520
a Joey Diaz?
Are you closer to like?

170
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,960
Sam Kinison.
No, like a clean comic, you

171
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,680
know?
No, I I grew up on old school.

172
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,080
I grew up on old school like
Richard Pryor and those guys.

173
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,520
OK, Yeah.
So that's what I I'm a.

174
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,840
Big red box fan.
I love red box.

175
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,360
I still watch.
I've been binge watching Sanford

176
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,040
and Son by the way.
It's it's crazy.

177
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,320
That's funny.
He looked like that would never

178
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,720
make today, right.
Do what?

179
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,799
Well, Mike, that would never
make it today.

180
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,760
Oh yeah, no, I'm trying to bring
it back.

181
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,200
No, he would never.
I'd love it.

182
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,560
Do never make it.
So, but it's good stuff.

183
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,920
I, I, I would say that my
inspirations were like Redd

184
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,840
Foxx, Richard Pryor, Daniel Tosh
was a big inspiration to me too.

185
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,000
I, I loved watching him, you
know, when I was younger.

186
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,840
But Dave Chappelle, obviously
that's a lot of people's big,

187
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,200
big one too.
I grew up, I graduated high

188
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,880
school in 2005.
S Dave Chappelle back in those

189
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,960
days were like really big, you
know what I mean?

190
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,400
So.
He'll always be, yeah, he can

191
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,480
just do it no matter where he's
at, right?

192
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,120
He's just a comic all the time.
Don't know Eddie Murphy in that

193
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,360
list?
No, I love Eddie Murphy too.

194
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,440
I like Eddie Murphy's old stuff.
You know, when he went into like

195
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,320
Daddy daycare and all that
stuff, it was a little bit

196
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,560
different for me.
For me, clean comedy, I respect.

197
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:30,080
I respect the hell out of clean
comedy.

198
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,120
I don't know what we can say
word wise on here, but I respect

199
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,280
the hell out of clean.
Comedy.

200
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,840
Whatever you.
Want.

201
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,840
Yeah, but.
But it's one of those.

202
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,760
Things I.
Didn't know if you had any other

203
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,440
type of ratings that you had to
be like, hey, don't say that on

204
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,160
here.
I'm not.

205
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,360
I don't like to cuss a whole lot
whenever I'm on stage.

206
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Like I try to use.
No, you're good.

207
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,400
I like trying to you can say
whatever you want for.

208
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,560
Emphasis like to enhance a a
sentence like one of.

209
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:56,600
My jokes explicit tag all the
time.

210
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,960
Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Go ahead.
Give us your.

211
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,640
Joke.
One of my things is I talk about

212
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,520
being married to a whore, you
know what I mean?

213
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,840
So like, you know, and I talk
and at the end of it I say, you

214
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,160
know, it's like, don't ever do
that, you know, because you can

215
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,240
waste 10 years of your life and
not even get a shrimp vote.

216
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:15,040
And the crowd usually loves that
because everybody knows it's the

217
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,880
old Forrest Gump.
So, OK, that type of stuff is

218
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,160
what I do.
And then I talk about how I'm

219
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,360
constantly, you know, I'm
constantly like, in like a high

220
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,080
state of mind, even though I
don't really do drugs or

221
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,440
anything, even though I've ate
edibles before.

222
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,680
Anybody.
You guys do edibles?

223
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,320
I have many.
Many he's like I've had.

224
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,360
Gummies, yeah.
Yeah, there we go.

225
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,200
Well, a buddy of mine, he, he
gave me an edible and stuff like

226
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,560
that and that stuff messed me
up.

227
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:44,800
But I have like I, I call it
like ADHD, but it's like sleep

228
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,680
apnea.
But it's where I wake up with

229
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,920
the ADHD instead.
And I'll think of stuff about

230
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,160
like midgets, you know what I
mean?

231
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,240
So.
Yeah, yeah.

232
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,320
Yeah, like I'm thinking these
things like saying like if a

233
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,320
Midget orders a drink at a bar,
isn't everything top shelf?

234
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,400
You know, things like that
popped in my head all the time.

235
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:06,720
I don't know it it.
I'll be out.

236
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,480
That's awesome.
It just happens.

237
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,200
I don't and I don't even do that
like on a on a daily.

238
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,920
I'll do an edible once in a
great while.

239
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,280
But I used to be a cop,
obviously, if you guys.

240
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:18,640
Research.
Not obviously.

241
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:21,240
Well, no, we didn't research it
because we keep everything real

242
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,320
and raw when we we have people
come on that way.

243
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,800
We're not.
We don't have any preconceptions

244
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,080
or who our guests are, right,
because then the reactions are

245
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,080
genuine then, right.
We have, we do a little bit of

246
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,000
research with somebody who's an
author, you know, you know, has

247
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,680
has kind of a cool gig.
Like we had a guy on that was

248
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:41,440
talking about Cava, so we
researched him a little bit just

249
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,840
to understand what Cava was.
But.

250
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,240
I watched a few of Dan's clips
just because I found out he was

251
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,800
friends with Matt, so I've seen
right?

252
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,560
Well, yeah, maybe a handful of
your reels here in the last

253
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,760
couple weeks.
You know, once I found out you 2

254
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,400
are friends, I'm like, yeah, if
Matt likes Dan, I'm probably

255
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,040
going to like Dan too because I
like Matt's comedy, right?

256
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,400
Oh, yeah, yeah, we, we work well
together.

257
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,000
I, I love Matt's comedy.
Matt's probably, I'd say one of

258
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,840
my top best friends in the
comedy scene.

259
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,200
So he's, he's a good dude.
I I have nothing.

260
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,000
But an easy guy to talk to.
Oh yeah, he is.

261
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,640
He he's great.
He's down to earth, man.

262
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,040
He doesn't.
He doesn't really hate on

263
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,400
anybody.
I'm I'm the same way.

264
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,400
I don't like to hate on people.
I get hated on, like I said,

265
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,200
because my style is a little bit
different, but it's like and

266
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,320
just keep on trucking.
You know he's moving forward and

267
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,720
don't worry about it.
Yeah, so here's the thing.

268
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,680
So how long were you a cop?
Hold on a second.

269
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,120
He's like, I'm currently still
with the CIA.

270
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,440
I can't really discuss.
That that's classified.

271
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,200
Hey, give me a second guys.
Yeah, you're good.

272
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,280
Little kids, my son's yelling at
me.

273
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,800
It's all good.
Bring him on.

274
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,400
Bring your son.
On I'm on.

275
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,920
Bring him on, Dan.
And a grandparent.

276
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,280
Yeah, wait, my, I live, my
grandson, my grandsons live next

277
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,480
door.
Dude, they pop on, he's got a.

278
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,800
Speech away.
Randomly.

279
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,960
He's got a speech away, but it's
it's funny because he just like

280
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,960
he's very creative.
Yeah, his teacher that was

281
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,960
telling me I went to a parent
teacher conference the other day

282
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,880
and he's he shut up just now.
I don't know what that'll

283
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,080
happen.
Maybe if they'll, well, that's.

284
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,200
Because you want him to come on
TV, basically come on TV, son.

285
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:18,920
I called him out.
You know what?

286
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,240
I.
Mean talk to the strange one.

287
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,920
About I called his blood, but
his teacher the other day was

288
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,560
like we go to the conferences
and you know him and his mom and

289
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:30,880
I we we have like a bad history
here and there.

290
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,680
We get along somewhat, but the
teacher was telling us about.

291
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,360
They asked him to give the
letter I or whatever because he

292
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,640
can't say it out loud.
So he has to show you.

293
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,120
And he basically he does this,
he goes like that and then does

294
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,440
this.
And he's, I'm like, what the.

295
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,600
And the teacher's like.
I know where he gets his

296
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,160
personality from.
And I was like, yeah.

297
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,360
That's hilarious.
That's awesome.

298
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,440
The Chris and Mike show.
Yeah, There you go.

299
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:14,320
Uh oh.
You're all good, man.

300
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,960
We're good.
You all right?

301
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,280
So you want to talk about
countries, Mike, How many

302
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,720
countries you're at now?
34, 34 countries?

303
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,040
I think we're going to pick up
some.

304
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,480
Do I have a Well, no, I guess
the United States.

305
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,320
That's how many you're
treatment.

306
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,400
Why is part of that right?
You're streaming in that many

307
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,240
countries. 34, yeah, We're in 34
countries now.

308
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,480
We're 34 countries now.
Yeah, yeah.

309
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,560
It's all, it's all because of
Matt.

310
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,720
It's all because of Matt
Farrell.

311
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,680
When he came on the show, we
absolutely exploded.

312
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,280
Oh yeah.
We give all the credit to Matt

313
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,000
you have.
A Fight Club up there?

314
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,120
What's going on, man?
Even Mama Casey, that was one of

315
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,680
the funniest podcasts we had.
Give me one second, give me one

316
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:51,320
second.
I'm gonna step.

317
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,560
Away and clean them up real
quick, right?

318
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,920
You're good, you're fine dude.
Don't worry about.

319
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,960
You're talking about, that's why
you're talking about countries,

320
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,240
man.
That's how we feel the so, so

321
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,200
Dan, the hitman Rathman is, is
is tending to his son with a

322
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,080
bloody nose.
We're not sure what happened

323
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,320
because it was off scene.
OK.

324
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,040
We know Dan was not involved
because he was almost not.

325
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,920
Involved.
Dan was not involved.

326
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,320
So but he's, he's clear and we
will be witnesses.

327
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,960
To that right, he is clear.
We will.

328
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,480
We will stand up in court and
say, hey, Dan, the hitman

329
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,680
Rathman was not.
Forgive the name, Your Honor.

330
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,520
Yeah, right.
How am I supposed to believe

331
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,880
that?
Well, we were both there.

332
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,240
It was streaming live.
I know it's going to sound

333
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,920
crazy, but we were there.
Live on the YouTube.

334
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,440
You know, actually we're in more
than 34 countries because that's

335
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,960
only tracked by Spotify and the
RSS feed, the website, if I

336
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,680
added those, it's probably 40.
OK, cool. 40 countries, that's

337
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,960
good.
So in the time that Dan's, so in

338
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,000
the time that Dan's been gone,
we went from 34 to 40 countries.

339
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,720
So can you live?
In the website.

340
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,160
Data because we should probably
get another 5 if you're off

341
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,360
screen.
Because they're wondering what

342
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,800
the fuck is this green thing to
the left of Chris?

343
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,440
It's OK, joke, I'll be out in a
minute.

344
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,480
I'm with you.
That was I'm not a comedian,

345
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,920
obviously.
That was a failed joke.

346
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,520
How do you make me laugh?
My sorry, it's a hard crowd.

347
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,440
My son had a bloody nose.
Right.

348
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,480
We talked about that.
Yeah, we talked about that while

349
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,680
you were off screen.
We had my microphone, so you

350
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,200
guys probably heard me talking
during the whole time.

351
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,200
We heard it all.
We heard it all.

352
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,240
We, we've had that happen where,
where the show's over and then

353
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,760
the the guests forget to sign
out and we will not.

354
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,000
They're talking, they sit there
talking for like 15 minutes.

355
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,320
And the really cool thing is
they're just showering Mike and

356
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,880
I with accolades.
Yeah.

357
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,480
Like, they were just blown away
how great this was.

358
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,440
And we're just sitting there
like.

359
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,840
Dude, how much fun they?
Can hear them, right?

360
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,560
It's cool.
So we like to eavesdrop on

361
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,720
people.
Yeah, we like to eavesdrop on

362
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,760
people when they're, whether
they're talking good or bad,

363
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,360
because you learn from both.
So let's get into a little bit

364
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,760
of your funniness, man, because
you know you're here to be funny

365
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,280
and we want people to come find
you being funny and live in a

366
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,960
person.
So do you have a website?

367
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,720
Yes, I do.
It's actually just Dan Rathman.

368
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,760
Comedy.com.
OK, OK.

369
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,839
That was to my kid, you know I.
Wasn't sure why you're silencing

370
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:11,839
me.
It wasn't sure why you're

371
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:13,880
silencing me.
I knew where he was going with

372
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,880
that.
Oh man, he's trying to get

373
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,560
peanut butter or something now.
I don't know what he's.

374
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,640
I'm not even a parent now.
I was right there with you, Dan.

375
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,680
Don't worry about.
It it's crazy stuff, man.

376
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,800
I well.
He's trying to pull up your

377
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,359
website so I'll forget.
Yeah, you could do that.

378
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,160
Yeah, get us.
Done.

379
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,360
Funny, too.
He knows that.

380
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,720
So it's fine.
It's in the other drawer.

381
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,560
Stop.
Drawer are you are you a single?

382
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,880
Are you a single dad, Dan?
I am not a single well I mean

383
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,360
I've been with the same girl for
about 6 years and that's not the

384
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:47,040
not that's not the word talking
about either.

385
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,400
I figure I'm not married so.
OK, well then you're a single

386
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,880
dad, man.
Yeah.

387
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:55,440
On that shit.
So you've been on the boat,

388
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,720
you've been on Carnival.
So Carnival is that, is that the

389
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,200
Greyhound Bus of the Sea?
Is that the is that that one?

390
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,600
Or is the one below it?
Oh, no, no, no, no.

391
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,800
I carnival's.
I mean, it's kind of highly

392
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:09,480
ranked.
I don't know.

393
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,720
Somebody, somebody said the
other day that it was kind of

394
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,520
ghetto and I was like, I don't.
Know it is ghetto it is it's the

395
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,640
it's the party it's the party
boat it's the IT was fun like.

396
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,800
We've only got like my last
night I was on there.

397
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,040
So OK, OK, yeah, we've, we've
only ever gone under.

398
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,520
We've only ever gone under
region.

399
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,560
So I can't speak for anything
else.

400
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,680
Why can't I?
Why can't I click on the

401
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:29,520
pictures?
Man?

402
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,280
You're not making this website
user friendly, Dan.

403
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,280
I.
Like I like to scroll pictures

404
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:37,960
while you talk.
Yeah.

405
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,520
Because then because then I
have, I'm just, we're, we're

406
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,240
showcasing you on behind the
scenes and you're not allowing

407
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,800
me to do that, Dan.
Oh my bad.

408
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,360
You know you're supposed to be
funny, man.

409
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:50,680
Hey, dude, what's up, little
dude?

410
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,080
Brother, I'm just, I'm just
giving a tander Say hi, dad.

411
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,320
Hi, Ander.
What's up, man?

412
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,680
He's got to.
He's got to school peanut butter

413
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,680
now.
Yeah, go to school and tell your

414
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,920
friends you're on TV with dad
and they'll be like, what?

415
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,080
I was like, you're OK with your
dad.

416
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,400
That's awesome.
Yeah, you're fine, buddy.

417
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,320
That's OK.
Cool.

418
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,400
All right.
I'll see you in a little bit

419
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,120
all.
Right, so here's so here's Dan.

420
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:16,520
See, this is what I like to do.
Dan, there we go.

421
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,560
I got to pull out your photos
while we're talking, see?

422
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,360
Because then it promotes you why
we're having a conversation.

423
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,240
It's like.
That for you.

424
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,520
So that's Dan.
So I so back to my other

425
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,960
question.
How long were you a cop?

426
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,040
Well, I was the cop for off and
on for about two to five years.

427
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,320
It was, I was in for a little
bit and then I got out.

428
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,320
I was the first, the sheriff's
deputy, kind of like my home

429
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,000
area for a Sheriff's Department
over in Kansas across the bridge

430
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,720
from like where I live now.
But it was crazy, man.

431
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,000
I actually, I talked about it on
stage how I my first ever bus

432
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,880
was a naked lady in a cornfield.
So you.

433
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,840
Know nothing wrong with that.
Gave me PTSD.

434
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,160
Which was was she?
Was she cute?

435
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,640
No, I the the way I described it
is, you know, you ever seen

436
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,720
those roaches drinking coffee on
men in black?

437
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,160
Yes, that's how she looked.
Yeah.

438
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,400
Oh, that's hard to that's hard
to Unsee.

439
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,120
That's how you get.
No, you've never.

440
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,000
OK.
So yeah, so there's a legendary

441
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,320
Matt Farrell with with Dan the
hitman Rathman.

442
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,640
So who?
Who's Chrissy?

443
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,760
Is she?
Is she funny?

444
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,680
Yeah, Chrissy Isles, she's
funny.

445
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,440
She's she's pretty good.
I don't know how long she's been

446
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,000
doing it, but she's been doing
it for quite a while.

447
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,960
But this is, that was my second
show, I believe, with her.

448
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,480
We did a show last year, Matt
and I did the first time Matt

449
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,880
came with me to Maryville, MO
Which one of those Flyers you

450
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,040
just showed was up there.
And some of these have been

451
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,720
passed, obviously.
That was my article up there in

452
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,120
Pennsylvania when I went out
there.

453
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:51,120
Yeah.
So he just interviewed.

454
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,080
Me again the other day.
Yeah, that's that's the cool

455
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:54,840
thing about it.
I don't.

456
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,160
Yeah, exactly.
That's the cool thing about it.

457
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,360
It's not it doesn't have to be,
you know, like relevant right

458
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:03,040
now.
These are just this is you, man.

459
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,480
This is what people want to see.
They want to see us sharing,

460
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,720
talking to people and, you know,
you know, all that kind of jazz.

461
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,120
So this is upcoming
performances, right?

462
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,400
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some of those in the past I

463
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,040
haven't blocked out yet.
Some of them are coming up.

464
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,920
I just actually got added to.
I just got added to about a

He's going to be in your neck of

474
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,480
the woods next month.
Back, yeah.

475
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,920
That Flyers actually shouldn't
be coming up on here if you got

476
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,720
everything else pulled up, OK.
Yep, I'm just gradually pulling

477
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,200
stuff up.
Yep, fuck your friend.

478
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,520
I'm also like the shirt.
Hey Xander, don't be doing that

479
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,600
kids, man.
He's 7 going on like.

480
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,560
Hey, I got AI, got AI, got a
six.

481
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,600
I got a six year old grandson
and a three-year old grandson.

482
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,160
So I get it man.
That's going to be a fun show

483
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,640
right there, that retro con.
I'm doing that.

484
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,240
But they're going to have the
cast of like the original Ninja

485
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,360
Turtles movie, so they're going
to all be there.

486
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,080
So I get to work with those
guys.

487
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,120
They're going to have like Ernie
Reyes and a couple other people

488
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:26,960
that are going to be there.
Sweet.

489
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,840
So was the original cast of
Teenage Mutant to children?

490
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,240
Were they all comedians?
I don't know if they were.

491
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,800
I think one of them was I, I
know one of the voices was, I

492
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,760
think I was like Corey Feldman
or something like that.

493
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,520
Yeah, yeah, I remember that OK.
And Ernie Gray has played

494
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,280
Donatello I believe in either
the 1st or the second one or

495
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,080
maybe both because he was like a
martial artist and stuff too,

496
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,040
because I've, I've got a
background of like some hand to

497
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,840
hand combat stuff too myself,
but well.

498
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,160
Of course you do.
Of course you do.

499
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,840
Because you were a cop.
You got to be able to chase

500
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,640
naked women down in cornfields.
Yeah, because that's where I

501
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,560
needed it.
You know, there it is.

502
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,080
That's the Spring Fest Kansas
City, right?

503
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,920
Yep, yeah, I just posted that
last night or something like

504
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,000
that because they updated a
flyer or whatever.

505
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,960
You can see my name probably
dead in the middle there, which

506
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,200
I go by the the hitman thing is
something that one of my

507
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,960
buddies, he's in the Comedy
Cartel, which is a a group that

508
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,320
I'm part of, right.
Which is, which is a great

509
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,960
transition from from being a cop
and being a hit man.

510
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,640
You know, I'm sure that worked
really well.

511
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,480
Yeah.
Sorry, that is pretty awesome.

512
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,240
He got that.
Hey, stop.

513
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,920
Don't be getting him barking.
We got this Chihuahua man.

514
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,240
Anybody You guys got dogs?
Oh, I have AI have a lab.

515
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:42,720
Well, he's supposed to be lab.
But he's not.

516
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,440
But I've had plenty.
Yeah, our dog bark.

517
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,160
Yeah, our dog will not bark
unless unless he's told to bark.

518
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,480
This one sounds like he's on
something I don't know.

519
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:56,840
Ankle biters.
So I hate that man.

520
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,840
He's a Chihuahua and she she had
the dog before I got with her

521
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,960
and I gave him, I gave him like
I always call him stuff like the

522
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,680
other day I called him a Dick
and then my son called him a

523
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:11,960
Dick.
But but it's not an accident.

524
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,440
You know, just out of out of
that then or don't get him

525
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,360
going.
All right, I'm talking about it.

526
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:21,360
He looks like Dobby off of like
the Harry Potter series dog does

527
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:22,160
in the face.
OK.

528
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,600
Big eyes, weird looking face.
Yeah.

529
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,680
Yeah.
Yeah, he has no math here.

530
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,680
So and he's a Chihuahua.
Yeah, he's a Chihuahua.

531
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,760
He's he's he's really good.
He he thinks he's a pit bull.

532
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,880
Give me one second.
Well, I'm not going to beat A.

533
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,880
Kid small dogs.
Yeah, I know.

534
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,320
It's all good.
All smog dogs think they're big

535
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,920
dogs, and they're the ones that
constantly yap and bark.

536
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,600
I've only got a few.
Little dogs in my life that

537
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,680
actually I liked.
Most of them have all been big

538
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,520
dogs.
Right, exactly.

539
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,000
Little dogs are they're, I call
them ankle biters, man, because.

540
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,480
They're scared of my son.
My son gets them going, man.

541
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,720
So my son just like likes to
getting riled up.

542
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,960
Now he's like in this little
igloo Hut thing, but not my son

543
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:11,560
the dog.
I figure because you've already

544
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,240
been off screen with a bloody
nose and we we, we made sure

545
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,680
that we attested the fact that
you were on screen when the

546
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,040
blood came out of the nose, so
you had nothing to do with it.

547
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,240
Make sure that I got an alibi,
you know?

548
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,080
What I mean, we got your back,
man.

549
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,440
We got your back.
I don't need social services

550
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,360
here again, you know what I
mean?

551
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,000
No, they're they're.
On your, on your.

552
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,200
Oh, there it is, maybe.
Why?

553
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,560
Why?
Just because I want to, I want

554
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,040
to, I want to, I want to pimp
out your shows, obviously.

555
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,680
Because again, we do this, we do
this number one, we do this

556
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,080
number one, to meet cool people.
So yeah.

557
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,160
And then we do it #2 because.
And you're definitely getting

558
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,040
around, dude.
Yeah, it was funny too, because

559
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:58,400
when I first started this and I
started getting like booked like

560
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,920
all over the country and stuff.
Yeah, somebody asked one of the

561
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,040
other guys and he's a good buddy
of mine and he he made a joke

562
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,520
about it and he called me a
stage slut.

563
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,080
And I was like, well, that's
kind of the point, you know what

564
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,760
I mean?
Like I'm just out here spreading

565
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,320
it for everybody, but but I'm
giving it up.

566
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,160
I'm not giving it up for free
though, that's the thing.

567
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,760
No, you can't give it up for
free.

568
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:19,960
Yeah, everybody needs to get
paid.

569
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:22,280
Host says reconnecting.
I don't know if I'm reconnecting

570
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,720
or somebody else says.
Who knows?

571
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,680
But OK, so I'm going to, I'm
going to, I'm going to give you,

572
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,080
I'm going to give you something

That's a glitch in the matrix.
Yeah, unless there's a glitch in

No, you're good, man.
I I appreciate it.

607
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,240
I take, I take all criticism or
anything like that, Like I

608
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,320
don't, I'm not one of those guys
that like, I can't take

609
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,440
criticism.
Like I know there's people out

610
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,120
there that like they get all
butt hurt about everything.

611
00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:06,400
I'm I'm not like the least
offended guy ever.

612
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,320
I'm also one of the guys at a
comedy show.

613
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,920
I'm like, listen, if you came
here to get offended, you

614
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,320
probably didn't research me.
You know what I mean?

615
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:14,800
If I'm going to say some stuff
so.

616
00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:19,200
Yeah, but you got to go by.
Walking into a comedy club.

617
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,600
Yeah, comedians got to have a
huge.

618
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,360
You got to have huge shoulders,
man.

619
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:27,480
You just can't.
Well, in the audience has they

620
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,240
have some skin in the game, too.
You have to know that you're

621
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,400
going to hear stuff that people
don't say on a daily basis

622
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,200
unless you're talking to me and
my friends.

623
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,840
Yeah, and that's the thing too.
I like that gallows humor, you

624
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,200
know?
I'm dark humor all the time.

625
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,200
So I've been dark humor since I
was a kid.

626
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,440
I I used to think it was because
of the background, like the law

627
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,400
enforcement and stuff, but I was
like, man, I made Adele

628
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,120
Earnhardt Junior like right
after it happened.

629
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,800
You know what I mean?
That that Dale Earnhardt joke.

630
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,320
I was like, man, I felt bad
about it whenever I was like 13,

631
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,200
you know, but.
Then when he died, when he hit,

632
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:03,240
when he hit.
Yeah, I was.

633
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,320
I was playing a video game and I
said a joke about it and I'm

634
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,920
like, damn, that was rough.
I shouldn't have done that, but

635
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,160
you know, I haven't.
I've had a dark humor all my

636
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,480
life.
I don't know what it is.

637
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,640
But and then, you know, when I
got into, I did corrections and

638
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,600
law enforcement and stuff like
that over the years.

639
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,040
I just, it just kind of just,
you know, started stacking up.

640
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,320
Yeah.
So I mean, I, I read the room

641
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,560
though, you know, I read the
room a little bit.

642
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,160
So I try to, I try to make sure
that I'm not going over the

643
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,800
sensitive.
Like I know that one day I was,

644
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,960
well, actually I told you when I
had somebody walk, I had had six

645
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,680
people walk and it was because
of one lady.

646
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,600
One lady got mad all because all
because I said something about I

647
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,880
was talking about being a police
officer and I said not all

648
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,440
police officers are good.
And that's the part that made

649
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:46,840
her mad.
I hadn't even got the joke out

650
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,400
yet.
I ain't even got talking about

651
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,400
how, you know, I threats a naked
lady in Cornfield and all that

652
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,200
stuff.
I just said that not all police

653
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,960
officers are good and this lady.
An accurate statement.

654
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,400
Right, totally accurate
statement.

655
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,280
Not all of anybody or anything.
Yeah, you can go to a factory

656
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,600
and find a piece of shit, you
know what I mean?

657
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,960
That's like saying all women are
bitches or all men are Dicks,

658
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:08,600
right?
That's just.

659
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,680
I'm not classifying everybody in
the same, in the same level.

660
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,120
I just, I know that I work with
crappy cops, you know what I

661
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,520
mean?
So I was like, I know, I know

662
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,920
some that I wouldn't, I wouldn't
show up to a scene with because

663
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,360
they were that crappy or that
shitty, I guess.

664
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,320
But I'd rather go to a domestic
alone, you know?

665
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,760
Were they the were they the ones
that were the bullies, his kids

666
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,840
and had to prove something when
they grew up so they got a badge

667
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,160
and a gun?
I feel like it, you know what I

668
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,000
mean?
Like, you know, like I wouldn't

669
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,160
have been kid growing up.
So I know people tried to bully

670
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,400
me and I didn't really.
I mean, I stood up for myself,

671
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,760
so I never really had to worry
about that.

672
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,520
But those guys, I don't know, I
guess they just get that

673
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,080
authority and they just think
it's like, Oh, well, I'm above

674
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,920
the wall, you know?
And I was a guy.

675
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,160
I wouldn't.
If I'm out here speeding around

676
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,640
doing 510 over, I'm not pulling
you over for that, You know?

677
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,080
I mean, I didn't want to be
hypocritical.

678
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,160
So right, thank you.
I dressed me nuts when cops go

679
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,760
flying by me 80 miles an hour in
the freeway and I'm going 74.

680
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,080
Like what?
So you better not pull me over,

681
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,920
motherfucker.
That's what I said.

682
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,040
You know, it's like I said, what
am I going to pull them over

683
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,040
for?
And that was the thing too.

684
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,520
Like there was guys out there
that they would do that stuff.

685
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,200
They would be flying around, no
lights on, no sirens on and

686
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,720
stuff.
And then they'd call people over

687
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,480
for you.
Only 5 over and I'm like, what

688
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,600
is your problem?
I said you'd look like an ass,

689
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,160
like a complete ass.
I was like, that's why people

690
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,760
don't like you.
So, well, and it's kind of

691
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,560
understood you can go up to 9
miles an hour over the speed

692
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,760
limit and you're not breaking
the law, you know, and I mean,

693
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,080
that's been in place since I got
my license when I was 16, like,

694
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,440
you know, I mean, and.
That is what we were always

695
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,320
told.
I agree with.

696
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,520
You right, it's it's nine over
the speed limit and you're good.

697
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,480
But you go now when you cut in
front of a cop on a freeway.

698
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,760
I.
I did that.

699
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,800
I didn't realize it though.
I just it was one of those

700
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,720
unmarked ones.
And then when I when I hit, when

701
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,920
I I signaled and got in front of
him, even though it's going to

702
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,120
84 and he was probably going 80.
I realized in the in the in the

703
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,560
head the oh, fuck the front of
the thing.

704
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,120
What do you call it?
Not the tail lights, the grill.

705
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,400
In the grill you can see the
lights.

706
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,800
Oh yeah, the lights.
Yeah, the grill.

707
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,880
He wouldn't, he didn't turn.
He didn't turn them on.

708
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,640
He just ended up passing me and
seeing later.

709
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,680
Bye.
But I didn't realize until I did

710
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,040
it like, oh shit, that's a cop,
you know?

711
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,400
And then I was too slow for him.
So there away he went.

712
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,480
So what can people expect when
they come to see your show, man?

713
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,360
How long they last?
You know, you if you're a

714
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,000
headliner when you go on all
that kind of jazz.

715
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,480
Give us some more insight to the
Dan Dan Rathman comedy.

716
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,160
Well, like I said, I have my off
the couch stuff, but you know,

717
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,360
my, my, my set, I have my
material.

718
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,960
Like I said, I talk about, you
know, real life situations.

719
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,680
I talk about, you know,
marriage.

720
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,600
I talk about, you know,
sometimes I'll talk about kids.

721
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,880
It just depends.
Like I kind of read the crowd to

722
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,400
to develop my set as I'm going
and then I.

723
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,040
RIP off crowd too.
Yeah, we're your crowd.

724
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,600
So what are you going to make us
laugh about?

725
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,400
Well, we've been talking about a
lot of stuff, so I mean 40

726
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,560
countries, you know what I mean?
Right. 40 countries after I

727
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:04,920
left.
I don't know what that that that

728
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,240
kind of made me feel bad, you
know?

729
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,520
No, it improved.
We started at 34.

730
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,640
Yeah, it started at 34.
You gained you gained 6

731
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,040
countries while I was gone like.
Jason Because everybody called

732
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,120
their friends and they all
signed on and.

733
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,920
They had a guy off there.
We're just looking at a green

734
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:26,040
screen now like that's.
There's blood in the background.

735
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,880
What's going on?
It's like 15 midgets that we

736
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,320
just put up on the green screen
behind him so.

737
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,080
We stack them.
Like a coatable.

738
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,120
It's the band, It's the band.
It reminds me too.

739
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,760
I was like, you know, I, I
talked about doing that

740
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,560
self-defense stuff and
everything, and I was like, I

741
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,480
was thinking about writing a
book on a calling it The Short

742
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,680
Guide to Little Survival, but
it's all for midgets.

743
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,920
Oh, dude, yeah, I didn't.
That would be great.

744
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,760
People would buy that shit
because there's.

745
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,920
Something like pop up pictures
and stuff and it's just like

746
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:01,800
munchkins everywhere, like a
lollipop Guild.

747
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,160
Yeah, I'm not even that tall by
the way, guys.

748
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,480
I'm only like 5/8 on my tallest
day, so.

749
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,320
OK.
OK, I only got you by an inch.

750
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,280
I'm not that tall.
Yeah, I got you a few, I got you

751
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,239
by a few, but I don't, you know.
Yeah, my wife want to lay down

752
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,440
on my.
Wife, you know what I mean.

753
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,000
So when you.
No, I mean.

754
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,120
What you inspect with me is like
I said, it's always, it's always

755
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,760
going to be something like that
stuff, that random stuff I'm

756
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,320
going to bring up.
Yeah, I read the crowd a little

757
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,800
bit.
I try to, I just try to play off

758
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,360
everybody like that, that hitman
stuff to get into that.

759
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,360
How I got that nickname.
I was talking about that before,

760
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,040
before I got interrupted
earlier.

761
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:45,280
The hitman stuff came from a
buddy of mine called Bear Love.

762
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,199
He's another comedian.
He started a group called Comedy

763
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:52,080
Cartel, which I'm, I'm one of
the admins or whatever on that

764
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,159
group too.
So I'm kind of, I help them kind

765
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:57,720
of run it.
But we got a group of like 4000

766
00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:00,920
comics in there across the
country, across the world

767
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,960
actually that we kind of help
and we, we network with.

768
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,720
And that's kind of how we, we
kind of make our way across the

769
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:08,680
country with everybody.
We, we work together and

770
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,960
collaborate with a bunch of
comedians.

771
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:15,240
So yeah, Matt, Matt Nike somehow
got connected on Facebook.

772
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:18,160
He reached out to me and stuff
and we just kind of clicked and

773
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:23,600
and started working together.
Xander quit.

774
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,840
You hear that, kid?
He did.

775
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:32,200
He just, he just tested me, man.
Like, yeah, they need to bring

776
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,320
back Spanky.
Do you know what I mean?

777
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,480
Like they do like.
Spanky's never went away.

778
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,360
Yeah, yeah, they do online.
So you know what I mean.

779
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,240
They do online.
You got to you got to you

780
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,760
remember that?
The whole thing where they reach

781
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,680
back and smack you and then hug
you at the same time.

782
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,440
You know what I mean?
Like that was great.

783
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,520
My mom was a my mom was a expert
at that stuff.

784
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,880
The whole flyswatter in the

00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,680

We'll get him on here.
I will.

797
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,280
Get him on there wrestling with
comedy that's funny.

798
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,240
Yeah, there's there's so much
stuff on there.

799
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:31,160
A lot of the comedians will post
like it's kind of like a

800
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,560
networking group on there.
But then there's Stand Up Comedy

801
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,320
USA.
If you go on to Stand Up Comedy

802
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,200
USA and join on there, that's
another one where we actually

803
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:47,480
post our Flyers upcoming shows.
We we also quit or you can get a

804
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:54,680
job and pay the bill.
Anyways, we post, sorry, we we

805
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,960
post, we post our our mainly
like videos and clips and stuff

806
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,880
over there.
We encourage like that's for

807
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,680
comedians plus comedian fans or
comedy fans.

808
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,680
Oh cool, so cool.
That's what we do over there.

809
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,240
There's like over I think
there's like 11,000 followers on

810
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:12,080
that group now where we have
more comedians on a comedy

811
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,920
cartel than we do on the other
one.

812
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,840
It's just more of like more of
an advertising and and promotion

813
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,320
side on the stand up comedy USA.
But you can find shows all over

814
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,360
the country, probably all over
the world, because I think we

815
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,800
got some people from the UK and
Australia and stuff in there

816
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,200
too.
I did see, I I did see the the

817
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,440
the first one you referenced
that had the bear love created.

818
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,680
Yeah, when I when I first did
that, there was one that came up

819
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:40,640
that was dot AU and that's
Australia, right?

820
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,840
Yeah, yeah, it's Australia,
which the funny story about that

821
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,040
Instagram.
OK, so there's another comedian

822
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,760
named like Dan Rath or Dan Roth
or something like that.

823
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,000
And I was, I was actually on, I
started getting follows on

824
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,400
Instagram because they thought I
was that guy, I guess.

825
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,760
So I made friends from Australia
because they thought I was some

826
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,040
other comedian.
That's awesome.

827
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,440
And they?
Ended up like I'll take it.

828
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,120
You know, I'll take the
publicity so.

829
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,280
Yeah, that's cool.
Was that buddy?

830
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,640
Nothing wrong?
Nothing wrong.

831
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:14,000
With that, I bet go upstairs and
wait on her.

832
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,560
She'll be here in a little bit,
I promise.

833
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:16,920
No.
No.

834
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,080
Yeah, that's a that's his best
word.

835
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,760
No.
You should have seen him in the

836
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,760
store earlier.
No, he told me he was my boss.

837
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:28,360
Oh, and he and so he and so he
got his got the what is the

838
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,480
influence influenza B.
Yes, yeah.

839
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,840
Yeah.
It's just a it's just a flu.

840
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,000
It's just a flu, Yeah.
You got A and you got AB side.

841
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,920
I guess you just flip it and
flip it over and play that

842
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:40,640
track.
I don't know.

843
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:43,800
Yeah.
He went behind the green screen,

844
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,200
so it might be flopping around
back there.

845
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,200
Oh, it is.
It's all good.

846
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,080
It's all good, man.
It's.

847
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:49,640
Gonna scare everybody if you're
on.

848
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,080
If you're on an acid trip, this
is going to be weird for you.

849
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:53,680
Right, this will be a.
Fun.

850
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,120
Thankfully, this will be a.
Fun show.

851
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,280
But if somebody is welcome to
the trip.

852
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,160
Right.
So, so just so what's, what's,

853
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,800
what are you playing at?
What shows you playing at in the

854
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,600

00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,560
going to leave early because I
had a guest spot at another

857
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000
pretty prominent comedy club but
him ended up sick.

858
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,240
I had to actually tell him I
couldn't make it because I

859
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,760
couldn't leave early because I'm
going to have him for the next

860
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,520

861
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,280
But I'm leaving early Friday

870
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,120
It's a comedian.
It's a comedian being heckled by

871
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,560
his son on Live I.
Know he's the worst Heckler in

872
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,440
the world, man.
That is pretty amazing.

873
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,240
He called me a bit.
You saw it here.

874
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,920
You saw it here first on the
Chris and Mike Show.

875
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:06,080
Yeah, 7 year old Heckler.
He's a 7 year old Heckler.

876
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,720
What do you?
What's your deal, man?

877
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,600
This show is getting interrupted
by you.

878
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,400
You're the one interrupting it.
Did you got a bloody nose?

879
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,520
It's all good.
Did you tell him you got a

880
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,920
bloody nose?
Yes.

881
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,400
I watched you.
You did it upstairs?

882
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,160
Yes.

883
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,720
of like, you know, toddler to
whatever grade I see bike club

884
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:24,680
you're not supposed to talk
about?

885
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:26,800
Yeah.
Sierra's room.

886
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,000
That's my daughter's name is
Sierra.

887
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:32,480
She's going to be 15 this year.
So actually this month.

888
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,400
Right on.
Happy birthday.

889
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,640
Sierra.
Yeah, she's 15 going 15 going on

890
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,520
25.
You know that's what they do.

891
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,920
Boys are easier man dating and
stuff.

892
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,160
And like, I'm not that typical
dad, you know what I mean?

893
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,040
Like they're like, what are you
going to do whenever he starts

894
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,440
bringing home boyfriends and
stuff?

895
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,920
And I'm like, I, I'm not, I
don't think I can be that guy

896
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,320
that just throws him a bullet
and says, you know, that type of

897
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,560
stuff.
I don't want to be that that

898
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,520
type of dad.
But I do kind of like, embarrass

899
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,840
her all the time.
Like one time she was going to

900
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,360
the movies and she had to go
meet these boys.

901
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,480
And it was a muddy day and she
got a little bit of mud on the

902
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,560
back of her pants.
So whenever she got out of the

903
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,040
car, I just yelled out the
window.

904
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,280
She was meeting them.
I said, don't worry.

905
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,640
It happens to people all the
time.

906
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:20,560
Oh yeah.
You've got to worry about it

907
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,200
that way, You know, we get
creative.

908
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,160
Yeah.
How are you?

909
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,560
You don't see yourself.
Oh, yeah.

910
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,480
Wait.
I like to have fun with my kids.

911
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,200
They're they're they're they're
different.

912
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,800
I've got other kids too.
I mean, they're not with me.

913
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,640
I've got a kid in.
I got a kid in Florida and.

914
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,440
How many, how many kids do you
have, Dan?

915
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,760
Are you like Eddie Murphy?
17 kids, 17 different David

916
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,920
Mamas, you know.
My grandpa was my grandpa called

917
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,080
Summer kids, you know what I
mean?

918
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:51,960
Summer here.
Some are there, but I talk about

919
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,520
it on stage.
Actually, it was kind of funny

920
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,640
because how I had one of my
kids.

921
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,240
That girl thought I was a
Wahlberg, you know what I mean?

922
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,000
So yeah.
Start of one of the Wahlberg

923
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,600
brothers.
Yes, I am.

924
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,720
So yeah, I can see that, yeah.
I get that a lot.

925
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:08,400
It's kind of weird.
I'm like, I don't, I don't know.

926
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,320
But I mean, it's not a bad thing
because those are good looking

927
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,920
dudes.
So I mean, you could be, it

928
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,920
could have been like Steve
Buscemi or something like that.

929
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,600
You know what I mean that.
Would have been awful, right?

930
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,600
Yeah.
Going every direction and stuff

931
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:26,600
yeah but look confused I.
Don't know how people that have

932
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,280
those funny looks get such high,
go so high in the movie industry

933
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,720
either.
You know, like we were watching

934
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:33,920
something the other day and this
is not a slam on people that are

935
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,840
shape, but we're my wife and I
watched something yesterday.

936
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:38,680
It was some kind of, it was the
pit, the hospital show up with

937
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:44,120
Noah Wiley and this, this, this
guy that's on the show is like

938
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,920
��450.
He has to have a breathing tube

939
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,800
stuck down his nose.
So there's obviously casting

940
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:59,000
calls for people of every shape
and form and age and just across

941
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:03,160
the whole entire gamut, right?
Because I can't imagine the

942
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,640
casting director like looking at
a script saying I I need a guy

943
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,280
that's ��450 for this scene.
Are you sure he's not 280 lbs

944
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,800
wearing a fat suit?
Well, that's the thing.

945
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,600
And there's always.
You can tell.

946
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,040
There's a market for it all, you
know what I mean?

947
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,880
Like you got to, you got to,
there's a market for everybody.

948
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,120
It seems like, you know, there,
there's typical Hollywood thing

949
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,240
is, you know, you got to be good
looking.

950
00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:27,720
You got to be like 6 foot tall
or whatever it is.

951
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,360
I mean, look at Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise is like 5-5 or

952
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,200
something like that.
You know he's not really at.

953
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,680
Least he's arguably a good
looking guy, right?

954
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,200
But that's what.
I'm saying, but he has, yeah.

955
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:43,880
So he has a certain look.
I was playing one night at a

956
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,800
casino and the girl that was
playing next to me, that's what

957
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,160
she did.
She cast people in commercials,

958
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,000
movies, and she was saying the
same thing.

959
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,320
You know, it's not what you
think.

960
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,520
I'm not looking for the best
looking people all the time.

961
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,600
I'm looking for the role, Right.
So Steve Mushimi, he fits a lot

962
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,400
of roles.
He's great at what he does.

963
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,080
I mean, imagine Boardwalk Empire
without that dude.

964
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:07,000
That's.
True.

965
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,520
Honestly, I I couldn't imagine
Conair without him, you know

966
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,360
what I mean?
His role in.

967
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,040
Car.
It was a movie theater to see

968
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:14,880
that dude.
Yeah, it's great.

969
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,000
I mean, it's, it's one of those
called classics, you know what I

970
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,160
mean?
Exactly.

971
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,800
It's honestly, it's probably one
of my favorite Nicolas Cage

972
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,480
movies, but it's it's which is
not really a whole lot of movies

973
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,640
that I'm I'm really favorite
Nicolas Cage.

974
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,440
But he does all right at what he
does.

975
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,640
Yeah, he's good and he's and and
that's the thing.

976
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,080
He's like, I'll never turn down
the script.

977
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,600
OK, why not?
You do it.

978
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,680
You you love to act, go act.
Sure.

979
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,000
You know, go.
He's an Oscar award-winning

980
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,200
actor.
You know his first.

981
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,920
Role that he's got a certain
look too, you know, that's his.

982
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,880
First his his first role, he
went under Nicholas Coppola.

983
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,640
You got either one of you guys
knows what knows knew what know

984
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,600
what that role was.
I'd say that faster time.

985
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,800
Remember, I know he was up for
Superman at one point in time.

986
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,640
No, no.
This was his first role under

987
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,640
Nicholas Coppola ever.
He was in line.

988
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,200
He was in line in school, at
fast times at Ridgemont High,

989
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,120
when Brad was talking to the
other dude about getting a job

990
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,840
at All American Burger.
Nicholas.

991
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,880
Coppola.
Was standing behind Brad.

992
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,640
I forget what Brad's name is in
real life.

993
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,880
Let's talk.
Remember, that's Nicholas.

994
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:24,840
Was that Jude Law?
That's.

995
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,160
Crazy.
No, no, it was he.

996
00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:30,600
He was in Beverly Hills Movie
with Axel Foley.

997
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:32,840
Yeah.
Yeah, Judge Reinhold.

998
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,160
Judge Reinhold?
Yeah.

999
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,080
So Judge Reinhold.
Nicholas Coppola is behind Judge

1000
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,320
Reinhold.
He's been talking to the short

1001
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:39,880
dude who wanted to work at All
American Burger.

1002
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,160
No, that was Nicholas Cage's
first active role in a movie.

1003
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,080
I've seen that's crazy so many
times.

1004
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,400
I'll have to pay attention next
time.

1005
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:47,480
Yeah, right.
I'll.

1006
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:49,760
Have to watch that again because
that's a that's a great movie

1007
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,640
too, like.
It's a great movie, dude.

1008
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,560
It goes by like that.
Like you don't realize how fast

1009
00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:56,840
good movies go until you watch
them again.

1010
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,160
Like that just started and it's
like an hour night, you know, an

1011
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:01,880
hour or 40 minutes later, it's
like, wow.

1012
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:03,960
It's like.
Watching this much like that

1013
00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:05,720
100.
Percent house or two, you know,

1014
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:07,080
like a lot of people are like.
I didn't realize.

1015
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:11,240
He was in Dazed and Confused and
I'm like, I'm like, he's in so

1016
00:46:11,240 --> 00:46:14,080
many movies, like it's crazy.
But in his look, now that he's

1017
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,920
done this whole thing on that,
that RIP character off of a that

1018
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,040
he's doing that now he looks
totally different.

1019
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,040
So people are like, I can't
believe that's the same guy.

1020
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,760
And I'm like, well, he had to,
he had to play part.

1021
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,720
So yeah.
Yeah, because without, if he

1022
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:29,920
looked like, if he looked like
Cole Hauser, that wouldn't have

1023
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,160
worked.
It wouldn't have worked.

1024
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,320
No, no, that you don't look at
Cole Hauser, right?

1025
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,760
You don't look at Cole Hauser,
redhead ginger man with the

1026
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,040
beard, thinking, oh, you're
going to take me to the strange

1027
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:44,880
station, OK, but with the
fucking dark hair, dark eyes

1028
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,440
that, you know, the sunglasses,
the beard, the burly little.

1029
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,720
Yeah, OK.
It's like, yeah, OK, he's going

1030
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,640
to kick.
Which?

1031
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,000
Much better water.
And it's cracks me up too,

1032
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,840
because all like, now all the
girls are like swooning over

1033
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,720
that look nowadays, you know,
and it's like, OK, so now every

1034
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:04,640
guy's out there trying to grow a
beard and a little bit of a gut,

1035
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,000
you know, like, what's going on
with this?

1036
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,920
I'm like, I don't know.
So I'm like, you realize that

1037
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,280
you could have got that guy like
10 years ago anywhere in the,

1038
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,960
you know, in the country town,
you know, so.

1039
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,680
Just walk into the local
neighborhood Tavern.

1040
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,320
Exactly, You could have got that
guy anytime and you might even

1041
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,040
pitch a domestic with it too.
I mean, you might.

1042
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,400
It's a 2 for one special.
You know.

1043
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:31,960
So.
So do you do?

1044
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,080
Do you need cop jokes when
you're on stage?

1045
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,880
Mainly is that I actually, I, I
talk about, you know, like, you

1046
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,200
know, we go back to the, the
whole history of me being a

1047
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,520
police officer.
I, I was a tribal policeman for

1048
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,640
about 6 months or so too.
And I worked for a tribe over

1049
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,080
there in Kansas, which is weird
because I don't, I don't think I

1050
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,960
have enough to even get college
for free in me.

1051
00:47:53,200 --> 00:48:01,200
So, so yeah, if you got that
anyway, but I was wearing this.

1052
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,960
Hat on my car, so we're with
you.

1053
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,440
So.
I talk about how I use, I look

1054
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:06,520
like the guy that put them
there.

1055
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:12,280
So anyway, hey, yeah, quit.
I'm on the you're not being

1056
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,920
very, you're not being very
respectful.

1057
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,880
I'm not done yet.
That's OK.

1058
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,520
Hey, can you you got?
5:00 You got 5 minutes, so

1059
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:21,720
you're good.
Yeah.

1060
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:23,120
OK, cool.
Man, that went fast.

1061
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,040
And so you can.
Yeah.

1062
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:27,840
So you can let them know we got
5 minutes.

1063
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,920
It's not, it's not.
Well, that's why we do the way

1064
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,480
we do it, man.
It's just a conversation.

1065
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,960
I enjoy it.
This is one of the funnest

1066
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,160
podcasts I've ever been on.
Real I I enjoy it a lot.

1067
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:38,880
Yeah, so.
If you want to come, if you want

1068
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,800
to, if you want to come back,
yeah, yeah, we'll get you on a

00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,920

00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,880

Fridays we start at 10:30 and

1071
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,480

Heck yeah, I like that.

1072
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:49,960
I'll do that with you guys
sometime.

1073
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:51,800
Definitely.
I wasn't even actually supposed

1074
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,880
to have him tonight, but since
he had the flu or whatever, I

1075
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,920
ended up keeping him overnight.
We're kind of going to swap.

1076
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:56,680
Some date.
Out.

1077
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:57,480
It's all good.
Dude.

Dude, when I originally.

But we love each other, don't we

Yeah, you.
So he blows it up you.

1082

Have to.
That's where it's all.

1083
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,440
That's where it all starts.
Oh yeah, yeah.

1084
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:12,480
Really.
Really.

1085
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,760
Even if you didn't love him, you
sure to say so because you're on

1086
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:19,400

OK, cool.
It's where meth and mortals

00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,880

Cool, so.

OK, cool.

Like I look like I'm on meth.

1099
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:56,520
You got, you got, I mean.
No, I know, but it it took me a

1100
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,120
second there because you you
are.

1101
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:59,880
You're off the cuff, dude.
They come out of nowhere.

1102
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,000
I like it.
Yeah.

1103
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,960
Like you don't expect it.
Then it's like, oh, yeah, Meth

1104
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:03,760
and morals.
I get it.

1105
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,400
Missouri meth and morals.
So yeah.

1106
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,320
Well, we not my friends, but not
the type that most people want,

1107
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,440
you know what I mean?
So that's that morale.

1108
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,920
So, you know, I had AI had a
racket take my, my lawn mower

1109
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,400
out of my yard one time at my
old house and I, I just waited

1110
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,560
for him to come back, mow my
lawn and take it back, you know,

1111
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,440
so it was a win, win situation
for me.

1112
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:30,000
So it's a return on your
investment.

1113
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,440
You know what I mean?
And get a lot.

1114
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,440
Out of that it is.
Now I always have like a $15

1115
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:36,440
yard.
Sale lawn mower that.

1116
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,040
My parents gave me.
Oh, nice.

1117
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,920
And it still works, right?
You what?

1118
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,120
Oh, there you go.
Even better.

1119
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,520
The the nice little round ones
that you could you could you

1120
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:49,360
could you could.
OK.

1121
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,800
I actually fell down the hill
that I was, I was mowing one

1122
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,680
time there in my house.
I fell down the hill and I was

1123
00:50:54,720 --> 00:50:58,760
like, it's a couple years back,
probably about 3 or 4 years and

1124
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:03,480
I fell and I actually tore my I
did something with my back or

1125
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,440
whatever.
And I felt because I'm almost

1126
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,640
40, I don't know how long you
guys are, but.

1127
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:09,960
OK.
I'll be 40 this.

1128
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,480
Year we're in our 50s.
December.

1129
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:12,240
Yeah.
You what?

1130
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:18,320
Yeah, 505656.
Geez. 52.

1131
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,520
I don't, I don't live I, I live
a very.

1132
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,160
I live a very.
Don't look that old though by

1133
00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:25,600
the way, I'm trying to get on
here.

1134
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,040
But I'm just saying thank you.
Well, no, but it's, you know,

1135
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:30,960
we, I, you know, it's, it's good
living, man.

1136
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,760
It's healthy food.
And I don't drink.

1137
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,120
I've been sober for 21 years and
you know, it's just.

1138
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,320
You know I'm trying to get a.
Spot how you live your life is

1139
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,960
you know.
Through a A Yeah. 4 so.

1140
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:45,560
Drinking.
No Explain.

1141
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,600
I don't drink a whole lot.
I usually, only time I usually

1142
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,760
drink is like when I'm up on
stage, I'll have a few beers or

1143
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,640
whatever.
But there's a joke I tell about

1144
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,120
that because I usually drink
Miller Lite.

1145
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,040
And I talk about, you know, I've
been trying to get Miller Lite

1146
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,400
to sponsor me since I started,
you know, because I'm just like

1147
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:00,720
persistent.
Yeah.

1148
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:03,640
So one of the jokes I talk about
is I pull up my drink and I say

1149
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,080
I'm trying to get a sponsor.
And I say, and I pause, and then

1150
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,040
I'll say through a, a, you know
what I mean?

1151
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:10,360
Yeah.
Yeah.

1152
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:11,680
The last show.
I did with Matt.

1153
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:13,840
Well, A.
Couple Fridays.

1154
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,760
It was, you know, one.
Yeah, it was last Friday.

1155
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,880
I believe me and Matt were in
Topeka, KS.

1156
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,680
That one flyer you popped up
with Chrissy.

1157
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:22,880
We didn't have very many people
in the crowd.

1158
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,000
And I said something about, you
know, I've been to bigger a a

1159
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,520
meetings than the crowd, so it
was a little different.

1160
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:33,720
Yeah.
And so, but it it was there, the

1161
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,760
the ice, ice box, buddy, it made
a noise.

1162
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,720
It's fine.
No, no, no, it's not.

1163
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,240
OK.
So, all right, That's what they

1164
00:52:41,240 --> 00:52:43,440
say in Missouri.
Yeah, that's what.

1165
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:44,920
They say in Missouri Ice box,
Yeah.

1166
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,280
That's a different term.
Over here.

1167
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,320
You know my great grandma used
to say that too.

1168
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,560
Ice.
Box, absolutely.

1169
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,400
It was the freezer, but you know
what I mean.

1170
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,120
The box of ice that makes the
noises.

1171
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,040
So now we have a lot of fun out
there.
