Dude with the flag behind you it does look like we're doing a little campaign. Yeah, I mean Doobie brothers blues brothers blues brothers. Yeah, do be is that a thing? I don't know. Let's not start that with your campaign What would be your 2025 campaign speech? Oh my 2025. Yeah, like make America great again, but I don't know if you can top that one PBR in hand obviously PBR PBR in hand, yeah. So you know the working classes for you, yes. I'm PBRs for the working class. Yes. I know what I'm about.

I had a friend visit me recently, and he's from Denver, and we went out to eat, and then he's like, oh, do you guys have like speakeasies? And I'm like, we're not going to a fucking speakeasy. I'm not taking you to a speakeasy. You're going to a dive bar. Yeah, where you guys have like speakeasies? And I'm like we're not going to a fucking speakeasy I'm not taking you to a speakeasy. We're going you're going to a dive bar Yeah, where you can barely see because of the smoke coming in from outside Right right right and and the bartender will know my name and my order will essentially be at the bar when I get there. Oh So it's like a it's a local. You're a regular speakeasy. Yeah, okay No, we're not doing this speak. I don't like a speakease He's fun. I think for a date night

Yeah, like a romantic intimate spot where they know you're maybe not gonna kill him Yeah, I've done that and it's just like I don't know. It's not as fun I like the dive bar the dive bars the best hang it is because you feel like it's an adult playground It's an adult playground. Yeah. You can get away with murder there. No one gives a shit. The bartenders don't care. It's the guy who either owns it or is filling in for the guy who owns it and it's his next door neighbor.

Yeah. I do think though that murder, they're still like not okay with it. But anyways, okay, so my campaign. My campaign. I'm drinking at PBR. I'm for the working class. Yes. Obviously. We need drinking at PBR. I'm for the working class. Yes We need it's a bipartisan, okay And I've talked about this before but I do want to abolish the parking police I think that that is I think you're gonna get a lot of people behind you for that one. I do believe that Looking beat is the camera speak to America There I have some skeletons in my closet Looking to the camera. Speak to America.

I have some skeletons in my closet. Sure, we can move past that though. Because what I'm willing to do for America, which is abolish parking police, will outweigh that, I think. You mentioned skeletons, let's get into that. Yeah. At one point I was very, let's see,

pro. This could go anywhere. I'm trying to make sure, like, obviously I got my guy, he's telling me yeah to say right now Course is a guy Yeah, because why not? Best if you wouldn't have a woman yeah Obviously yeah, and that's my mistake that I've made before I feel like we're beating around the bush, but I think they're getting it

Yeah, I've listened to women. Yeah, you listen They're getting it. Yeah, I've listened to women. Yeah, you listen, but that's the extent. No more, yeah, I'm done listening. And I'm just demanding that we abolish the parking police in 2025. What is the worst thing that could happen if we got rid of the parking police though?

I don't know. What is the worst thing? I'm genuinely curious, what would be, does the city get less money? Let's reframe the question. What would be maybe does the city get less money? Let's let's reframe the question Yeah, um what good do they do? That's what that's kind of where I was getting now is like what would be the worst thing that would happen if they're gone I Do think that it's for the better I think it is too and if and if America is willing to stand behind

Maybe in front of me on on this matter, then I think that we could have a really bright new future for this country. Now do you think people will start parking on the sidewalks? Like, fuck it, there's no space. No. I'm blocking a driveway. I don't think people are animals. I do.

I think people are animals. I think people would start parking in front of fire hydrants and they park in front of driveways and there'd just be a strange... I mean there are things that I do believe in which is I mean obviously don't park in front of a fire hydrant unless you have your blinkers on. Yeah then you could be there for at least two days. At least two days. There's no fires. No, I'm just really upset because I'm very against the parking police. I recently got a parking ticket in the village of Shorewood, so not Milwaukee City proper, the village of Shorewood. The village.

Sounds like they don't need the money. They don't need the money. But what makes me really upset about this is, okay, I don't always pay my parking tickets like right away, which is kind of silly, right? But it's never been a problem until the Shorewood though They suspended my registration on my vehicle for not paying

For a month and I found this out after I got pulled over over I got pulled over on the way to Chicago And they were and they the the the cop he not they he my PR guys Thank God cut the cut the or is it they no cut the cut the cut the they we're not doing that anymore No, I know we cut things here. We cut very few things. Enough though. You gotta beg for it. Yeah, but this guy, this cop, this sheriff, because it was a... obviously it had to be. It couldn't just be like a regular fucking cop. It had to be a sheriff. Pulls me over.

And like I'm not speeding or anything. He just happens to be behind me. And it's kind of... A ranger plate? And just ran my plate And he's like hey, do you know why I pulled you over and I was like no because I'm going to speed like there's I'm not Doing anything wrong. You're behind me. I'm going Exactly the speed limit and I'm pissing a lot of people off right now. Yeah, I mean no like it was kind of slow So we were just all moving slow and I just happened to be in front of this cop who ran my plates And he's like, do you know why I pulled you?

I was like, no. And he's like, your registration is suspended. The village of Shorewood says you didn't pay a parking ticket. And I was like, well, I'm glad I know that now. I didn't know. I got a letter in the mail that said, we intend to do this. Yeah. Which. It felt now I didn't know. I was like, I got a letter in the mail that said, we intend to do this.

Yeah. Which. I feel like I didn't know. So I knew it was coming. I didn't know that it had come already. That's pretty quick. A month, right? A month is recent?

Yeah. The holiday season? No, this was over the summer. But it haunts me. It haunts me like it was yesterday. In college, I had a lacrosse coach that kept hauntin' me. We didn't get along at all. And he's like, you need to return your equipment.

I go, I will. And I hadn't returned, I'm like, I can't, I got class. And I didn't return it the exact day he wanted it. So I went to enroll for classes the next day, and they go, you can't? By order of the Wisconsin lacrosse club. You can no longer sign up for classes because they put a hold on your own.

I go, I don't think that's. Classes for like for college? For college. The club I paid to be in. They're in cahoots. They're in cahoots. I paid to be in. They're like, nope, you can't enroll.

You haven't returned your helmet and jersey yet. I feel like there are worse things. Do you want my $400 of credit that I'm going to pay or do you want the $200 helmet that you don't own? Yeah, let's prioritize. Let's really think about what's going on. So I'm gonna abolish the Wisconsin lacrosse club coach. Okay, yeah, on the ballot, that's on the ballot.

On the ballot, like no more Hal Rosenberg. Obviously, two men have to run together. Yeah. Two young sp run together. Yeah. Two young spry men. I was born here. I do want to make sure that that's clear. I think I help your campaign. I check all the physical boxes.

Male, white, straight. Um. Yeah, we've slowly been getting rid of everyone on the podcast, so it's just me and you now in this basement, bud. Yep. Uh... Doors locked. And he's about to do whatever it takes for America.

And that's not for me, that's for you. It is. Whatever makes our future leader happy, I'm willing to do. Well, it's not for me, it's for the people. It's for America. Right. I feel like you'd slowly become addicted. I really wanted to touch it, but then I was like, I don't know. It's for the people. It's for America. Right. I feel like you'd slowly become addicted.

I really wanted to touch it, but then I was like, ah, I don't know if I should touch the flag. I think that would get taken down. Yeah. I wouldn't have to cut that out. Someone else would cut that out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone would clip that and be like, look at this man

touch the flag. Look at this brown man touching the American flag. Surprised he didn't burn it. Yeah, I forget that I'm Mexican sometimes. Same. I grew up in Janesville and I'm like, oh yeah. I do say, the thing is, I grew up bilingual, like I am bilingual.

And Spanish is technically my first language. And then I say shit like Ohp and I'm like damn I really act like we're far from the motherland. What's the Spanish equivalent of Ohp? You wouldn't say that really? I don't even think there is what would be if you had to have your like Sorry, so like if I'm in like say like I'm in a Mexican grocery store. Okay No, um, so I'm at Woodmans, right? I'm in the cheese aisle and it's packed because- You think Woodmans is a Mexican grocery store?

No, no, no, no, no, but this is the English, right? You go, oh, sorry. Yeah. Okay, in Spanish, if I was looking at a Mexican grocery store and I was getting the tortillas, I'd be like, oh, con permiso. So I would still say oh, but I would just say excuse me in Spanish instead of in English. But I'd still say oh, but I would just say excuse me in Spanish instead of in English

Okay, but I still say oh which you wouldn't say that you don't even know you say it anymore No, you I don't think anyone knew they said it until it was brought to our attention Yeah, like it was cut like people visited us put on a sign Oh, and now on a brewery and on a million t-shirts and it's half of someone's brand. Like you know. Here's also on my campaign anti-immigration because we wouldn't have known that we said everyone is now clocked back in. Yeah.

Yep. Yep. We didn't know that we said open till foreigners came to our land and said, do you guys realize that you do this we didn't need to know that yeah we didn't you don't need to be here mine and if you are gonna be here mind your business so whatever demographic that's that whatever I just said that was for you this feels like I gave you a script of things I wanted to say but it feels better

coming out of your mouth. I'm really glad that we're gonna have to cut that but I'm really glad that you said that so that people know that I am I am being held hostage right now. There are 70 guns that are all pointed at me. This does look like the basement that could have guns and gear all over the wall. Yeah this is very much like a get-out kind of house this this basement. It's a cool basement It's a cool basement. It's a very Wisconsin basement I like what they did here. I do yeah, this is a free rein right now This is a this is a good Midwestern basement also submit Western trust that they just they don't know who we are No, yeah, I got here through email. You're just like is there a basement like go on down. I know yeah, I got here and I was like

is there a basement here and then the some server that I just like Ran into she was like It's actually closed. There's an event and I'm like, it's really crazy that you would call it that It's a podcast and I need to be down there Where is it? I literally am standing in front of the stairs. I just didn't realize that they were next to me You know you walk into a place. You don't like take it all in no She's like yeah, they're right behind you and I was like oh, okay So now I try to make you look dumb, but actually now I look dumb. It's okay, and I'm gonna go down there

Yeah, I've been here We filmed one other time here before Christmas, and they already reckoned like oh, I got a big guy I got a what's up big guy. I was like no I got a boss man Okay, I got a boss man cuz I went to go get our beers. He's like, what's up boss? I was like Wow, that's yeah, I like that a lot and I walked in there like you need go in the basement I was like I do yes, and I was like I've never even seen you before but you know, I did walk in with two cameras and lights, but Yeah, I see this is why This is why you can't go to a speakeasy because the speakeasy is like don't find us

Yeah, already a problem that and you only go maybe every once in a while You need a place that you go often and the second time you go they're like, oh we recognize you Yes, you feel welcome. I don't also it's dirt cheap. Yeah, that's the best part I'd like to go to a bar you get it's a disgusting bar the bar top. It's not clean The woods been there what I'm trying to say It's either your old kitchen countertop from when you were like Jamesville or a piece of wood from like Whatever Columbus wrote in on Yeah, whatever for dollar George Washington. What's the bar downtown?

That's like four dollars for a beer a shot and a pull tab that would make what bar is that? Yeah, you know it's on Brady. You know exactly what I'm talking about the right don't you oh shit But it's it's like four six four to six bucks beer shot Poltab. That's beautiful. It is perhaps the greatest deal in Wisconsin. So yeah, my campaign, that will be every bar in America if you vote for me. The beer has to be at the bar. It's all Milwaukee beer. Any beer.

So it's... Any beer. It's like beer it's a okay can any beer any beer i'm even those imports what's what's your take on breweries like craft beer uh... so i'm older now so i'm past that phase okay i think there is a point where you drink shitty beer you're in college and it's like yet were poor and this is just what we want to drink and then you know you get a job and you have like real money And you're like okay, we can drink a little

We could go we get a little more highbrow right something with a little more flavor to it No, and then you you convince you and your friends convince yourselves that you like this that you like that you like IPA's And that you like spending $10 for a beer yeah That is maybe hit or miss depending on what kind of brewery you're at. And yeah, I moved on from that. I think we should move on from that. It's OK to move on.

I agree with you. I like the idea of a brewery. I like the hang with anything. But I agree. The craft beer, when I go with Rach, every time, she goes, what do you want? I go, you know exactly what I want. She goes, lightest thing on craft beer when I go with Rach every time she goes what do you want to go you know exactly what I want she goes light a sing on the menu go yeah give me the closest thing to Coors Bud or Miller light you got yeah and then if there's something if I'm feeling frisky give me

the one that's light but kind of tastes like coffee and then I'll take a sip of yours but if it's a IPA I've never been on that train, I'm all for, like, if I'm drinking beer, I wanna have five, six, 12. I don't wanna go and have a beer. Yeah, no, that's exactly, I don't wanna have like two beers and then be like on my ass. That's not fun for me anymore. Maybe when I was young. Yeah, what else, then you gotta hold a water.

You don't feel good holding a water. No, no, water, here's how you're supposed to drink a water at a bar. You ask, you tell all your friends you're supposed to drink a water at a bar you ask you you tell all your friends You're getting the next round you get the drinks you ask for a water you chug the water you bring the drinks to the table You can't show weakness. Yeah. Yeah, the water should not be made visible to the group. I Agree, because once one water is made visible then another water is usually made visible and sooner or later when you have Two to three plus water. You're asking for the end of the night. The minute a water comes up. Don't bring the end of the night

Don't bring the end of the night energy Too early. No, if it's pre midnight Yeah, yeah, okay. It's almost bar closed. You're all stumbling a little bit. Grab a water. Everyone grab a water. Grab a water. Yeah, let's be a little smart about this. Yeah, we don't want to look like the problem going with the Uber. Yeah, OK, yeah. Little man, little man in the air. Yeah.

Ride share, ride share. We're going to have to cut that. We're going to have to edit that one. I'll just make my microphone louder for that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll lip dub it. No, but yeah, I think that dive bars are

Like my favorite place Also, I know that we're in a different bar, but yeah, but thinks yeah has I believe One or three dollar PBRs no they have like $1 PBRs on Mondays Which I'm like that's beautiful. Here's the thing. You know a bar is good Like this one if it's a Monday like it is right now and it's packed and you can't Natti Oaks I had a perk on the street Yeah when you're like Hey

I'm circling to find parking and you needed to smoke a cig before you got in here because you were stressed finding parking right and not Nervous to come down here alone in a basement locked. Um... With you specifically. With me specifically. The vice president. Exactly. The vice president.

It's always the vice president. It's a little, you know, quirky. But that's how you know like it's a good bar. If you are in a Thursday through Saturday bar and you have like deals going on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, you potentially close late Sunday or you have like deals going on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. You potentially close late Sunday or you close Tuesday because no one likes it Tuesday. That's a good bar.

That's a quality, that bar's gonna be there for a while. Yeah, I mean I was unemployed over the summer and so it was kind of like any night really. Yeah, that was college for me. That's really when you learned what a good bar is. What did it feel like the first time you were out? for like the third consecutive Tuesday Um, I will say that there was a part of me. I mean even this weekend

Like I mean I was drinking since Tuesday I Like, I mean, I was drinking since Tuesday. I, cause yeah, I drove back to my parents' house on Tuesday, and then I didn't leave, I didn't come back until Saturday night, and then I went out very heavily Saturday night. It was a 4am night, and then yesterday, I was like, I went to go watch a movie with one of our friends in the comedy scene and I was kind of hungover it was like a 3 p.m. showing and I was I woke up at noon and I was like a movie I can't remember last time I did that dude I love going to the movies at that time. I love doing like a matinee. Yeah. Type shit. What's a matinee?

It's like afternoon. Oh, why don't you just say afternoon? It's just like what it's called in theater. But we're in a bar basement. Yeah, but I mean I still respect the arts and that's the other part of the campaign. We'll have to figure some of those things out. There's gonna be a fine line with your campaign.

Yeah, we're gonna have to tread very carefully. Like we're going to a dive bar But dress the fuck up. I'm not saying no because we have very similar fashion dark clothing Basics like this is the most color don't ask me to fucking dress up for anything. I gotta dress up tomorrow How do you feel? Do you don't you hate it? Don't you hate it when you like I'm hit or miss on it What I have a wedding tomorrow New Year's Eve wedding very excited. That's crazy It's crazy, but it's not I think it seems crazy because tomorrow's Tuesday and I work Wednesday It's not that it's like

the expectation of kind of blacking out on New Year's and then also the expectation of like kind of blacking out at a wedding, like the compounding factor of that? So the right people need to be getting married for a New Year's Eve wedding. I think the right people are getting married and it's a very young wedding. So we've all been to like young weddings but most people that are old, you don't want that. They're also not going to do a New Year's Eve wedding. I was concerned because most weddings end at 11 and I go, hey... Oh you're white, yeah I forget. White most weddings end at 11 and I go hey okay you're white yeah I forget like white people weddings and yeah they end at

11 and you're like all right everyone will like shuttle you back to the Mexico my cousin's wedding ended at 3 a maybe even 4 a.m. and that's when and that's when the shuttles were like there the venues again no you can have it to like midnight 30 or something like that. I'm like, okay, whatever. But, for something like that, I get excited to dress up because everyone else is dressing up. It's not, I don't do it very often. I can put on a suit, a fun suit or something like that. I don't like wearing a tie.

I'm not a big tie person. But if I had a job that I was like, do you to wear a button-down shirt pants a belt and Nice shoes every day. No, I used to think I wanted to be that guy I was like I would have there there is a point where you're like you are oh, it's the same It's around the same time that you're convinced that you might like IPA's is When is also the time that you mine was early? I think like and because I was these people are trapped Here's the thing. These are the guys who are trapped it's the guys who are convinced that their value comes from drinking IPA's and

Dressing up and I think that that's fundamentally incorrect Where does the Venn diagram meet? With IPA's the guys who dress up and like cocaine you get what I'm asking. It's a circle like fine It's a circle. It's a circle, but I feel like IPA doesn't always mean cocaine you know I just sue I think the yeah that part of it Or the cocaine's in the middle who is that IPA? Suit it's finance guys right yeah, it's gotta be it's finance guys for sure they live by this like live hard our work hard play hard Mentality which I'm not I'm not

for it I got a job offer over the summer the only job offer I had had up until that point and I was like this is a work hard play hard company and I like playing hard working hard like to that extent where you kind of like like your personality is again. Weirdly enough You're appealing to the working class. Yeah I was about to say something super Marxist, but that's not what we're gonna go for No, I'm just saying we have no we have the technology now to not have to work as hard as a society And for some reason we're just making it harder for ourselves

We do. Yeah, I make a lot of things harder for ourselves that we don't need to. Right. So I'll end that as president. Play hard and work. As much as we need to. Work to the extent that makes you feel like you are contributing to society.

I do believe that you should feel like you're contributing to society. Oh, I would agree with that. I would agree with that. And then the rest and then the rest of time you want to be What's one job that you think doesn't actually contribute to society? Oh, no parking influencer is not one of them Parking influencer. Yeah. Hey, just doing dance like ticket. Not even that. No, it's just like hey Park that's like it park here or don't Yeah, one job you don't think is that doesn't actually contribute to society

Yeah, I don't know I think What do you do huh? What do you do? I like I contribute to society I don't really contribute to society aren't you a personal trainer don't you like affect the lives of others like make them feel I just manage the gym I just but you feel like you're you're helping people sometimes better versions of themselves be honest I think a lot of people agree with this as a personal trainer. You're just a glorified adult babysitter That's what it is. It's a therapy session in which but you don't want to pay for therapy so you're just going to a guy who's in shape and willing to listen because

you're paying him a certain amount of money to just watch you work out no you're like the manifestation of accountability I guess but and I think that's cool which is also why all the people pay trainers that are out of shape because I kind of I mean that's also kind of my job Personal training no no no but like to like hold people accountable Okay, is like yes, so like I mean yeah I think that's valuable to an extent because I think some people are like really good at having ideas and like Having good intentions, but sometimes they just have a... Need someone to...

Yeah. I've had clients say, they're like, listen, if I don't pay you, I won't show up. Yeah. Which is fair. I'll take all the money you want. I wish I was like that. I wish I was like that. I get it.

If I'm spending the money, I want to make sure I'm getting my money's worth. That is, I think, the one part. I'm a decent trader. I'm going to make sure you are Like sweating your ass off or you feel like you worked out for the 30 minutes you're here But also if you don't want to work and you just want like i've had multiple people that we've done two exercises And then we talked for 35 minutes. I go you still owe me money Yeah, see like what's crazy for me is like I feel like the time that I've used the gym the most is when it Was free like as a student

That's actually the time I've used the gym the most I guess maybe you're just like I'm gonna take advantage of this deal Yeah, I think or like if I don't I'm like kind of still paying for it in a sense I don't know I get that because it's like in your fees But then you might also be the person who is like we'll just talk to the trainer cuz you're like Hey, if I'm paying for it, I'm gonna lose weight Like just like I made the initial step like I'll get there eventually But like I I did something cuz that's what happened more like if I show up, I'm gonna lose weight I mean, hey, you can you could show up for an hour a day and you walk at like a two on the treadmill

Yeah, no you I mean you're gonna lose more weight bouncing up and down on potholes in the road than you would doing that Yeah, also why are there potholes? What are we paying for I? Don't know if sure what has potholes, and they put a hold or a suspension on your license. Yeah That's a problem I think that's what you should be able to appeal if you can come up with like five potholes within that Area within like a five block radius that parking ticket null and void yeah, I think There's too many potholes Agreed there's too many potholes. I'm like really on this like I've been kind of mad about it for a couple of weeks You just don't like the streets

Um, I think all parking should be free. I hate paying for parking. I do and it's absurd the appra- Also, like we've here's the thing people also just don't know how to park in cities. I don't think But I've talked about this before on My own podcast, but Minneapolis is like the worst public parking city I've ever been to. Why? Anywhere downtown, there was nowhere that you could just like park overnight for free.

Oh, it's all like you have metered through. At least, yeah, I guess here you can have- Which is insane to me. Here you can park like anywhere. Overnight, yeah. Really overnight and on weekends. Minneapolis, I couldn't- I think it's reasonable to say get out by seven. I couldn't park anywhere on a weekend. It was all paid parking all weekend long like this is Entrapment Madison's kind of like that too mad. Yeah, I would agree that Madison's also kind of bad Chicago's easy

I think Chicago is an easy place to park people don't sue many people they'd have a riot if they're like hey You can't park overnight in places You got to be the one of the lucky ones to get the street parking But there are certain streets because I've I have a lot of family there so I go there often There are streets that I just like know where I can park like you can park pretty much anywhere on like Milwaukee in in Chicago All right, let's get rid of parking No, no, we need parking. The parking police.

I also hate that they drive on the right side of the car. I hate the fucking cars. If we're gonna get real, I hate everything about it. Are there always jeeps? It's like a short bus jeep, and they're on the wrong side of the car. I don't like it. I get why. No, I think they're doing it on purpose. I think they want to be as horrible as it can be. Yeah, cuz like oh I could just stick this ticket from my car No, if you want to give someone a fine get out of your car get out of your car and work for it. I Say they're not contributing. They're literally making society worse. I think they're making society worse

I really hope that I'm not offending anyone I Society worse I really hope that I'm not offending anyone I Would I don't think I know any I don't think I've challenged to see I think if I find out that someone was a parking Police I don't even think they like their job. I think like hey, you know, this is just what I'm doing in between I'm like going to school. Do you think there's pride in what they do? God? I need to get off this We need to get off this we do because I'm just gonna be like I kind of want to Get into the mind of like certain like that person like why it's like to me It's like getting in the mind of a serial killer like I can't understand why you want to kill someone like that I understand more of a serial killer than I would be to like just want to enforce parking tickets on someone okay Well, that's scary. Not really I'm in this basement with you get where people snap you're like no I get

Gets your what people snap all the time. They're like, I'm going to fucking kill someone because of pent up anger. No one snaps and goes, let's issue parking tickets. That's a. Yeah. There's something going on there. That job has to be one of those either prison reform programs

or. I don't even think it's that. Or just like, hey, I need a job. I Just don't know how you would have pride in doing like pays. Well, I don't even think there's no way It's a government. I want someone here be like yeah me what if you know how much I'm not gonna look it up And I don't like I don't like I'll forget we talked about this in five minutes. Yeah I don't like I don't like I'll forget we talked about this in five minutes. Yeah Unless we're still talking I'm actively forgetting about it right now because I'm just gonna stay mad if I if we keep talking What are we talking about now? I will say though people I do respect

the Mail people people who deliver mail you do need your mail. Do you like getting mail? Oh, I love getting what now? It has that is the best part that I think to me that is the best part of your Friends getting married is when you get the invitation When you get the RSVP you get the invitation you'll want it Yeah, and I love it cuz they're always like they they really like are we gonna stop doing that like just email your friends I feel like you could save a lot of money. Just not sending off this stupid postcard Well, there's I think because a lot of people have like older family who still really revere the mail that's gonna be me like I'm gonna be

like no like I need like what is this don't send me an email it's gonna go to my spam sure it's like I haven't talked to you in a while so it's definitely going in spam yeah no and I love it cuz they're really they're really they're spending money on these invitations I love it when it's got the little wax seal. They barely ever look good. I Don't think they look good. Really too corny. No, I love it. I love it. I love an over-the-top card It is I like the ones that are magnets The whole oh, I've never gotten one of the ones the wedding I'm going to Tomorrow, I think the whole thing was a magnet. I go, I don't need to find a magnet for a fridge,

because they're going on your fridge. That's so smart, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where they gotta go. How many people RH have magnets now? No one has fridge magnets anymore. I mean, you can just. You could, but don't make me go buy something for your wedding, I'm already getting you a gift.

I love a good family photo and photos of my childhood on my fridge. On your fridge? Yeah. I don't think, the only thing I've ever had on my fridge. I bought magnets so I could put photos of my family on my fridge. I taped my medical bills from my surgery

the other couple years ago to my fridges because they're so absurd. Or I put it under the magnet. You know what, I should be more practical about it. I should put my parking tickets on my fridge. Yeah, like hey, these are the, because I think the fridge is where you go the most in your own It's the thing I always put them in my in the visor And then it's like two months later when it's sunny for the first time like yeah, I'm like oh shit

Yeah, well that's $50 more expensive now than it would have been when I got it. That sucks. There's one parking ticket I haven't paid still here. We do need to get off parking. But I thought it was a scam, because it's like here, it's a hundred. Dude, I just, no, no, no, they just,

I saw an article today that there is a scam. There's a parking ticket scam. Also, greatest scam ever, because it's like $150 parking ticket. I go, this is, this isn't right. Nobody goes, but if you pay in the first ever because like it's a hundred and fifty dollar parking ticket. I go this is this isn't right Nobody goes but if you pay in the first 15 days, it's only 35 ago That's such a discount for paying it off within 30 days that I forget that you do this kind of this kind of math in your head you're like that that's a discount when you're like

But I mean all of its robbery. Yeah all of its robbery, but like it's such like a drop that you're like Alright, you're it's so absurd. You're like oh of course I don't want to pay an extra hundred fifteen dollars So I'll pay this off right away not even bother looking at it, and then you just sent someone $35 yeah, that's kind of what had a receipt printer in there because it was like a texting It's like a texting parking ticket scam type thing turns out as a real ticket. I just oh that sucks. Yeah Type thing turns out it was a real ticket. I just oh that sucks. Yeah that blows You probably don't even have an active registration in your car right now probably not also no here's the other thing that really pisses me off

The whole episode your your registry yeah, no your registration for your car. It's like $250 in the city of Milwaukee because by the way, it's much more expensive in other states To me it's like too much like in Jamesville. I swear to God it was like $50 They're like, yeah, we'll just literally for the paperwork We'll send you the sticker and we'll do the paperwork but here Milwaukee because they impose a wheel tax What's a wheel? I don't understand what it is. You got four? Like it's just like oh you have wheels on your car that you're paying. It's like an extra like a hundred and fifty dollars to just like for this wheel tax. But if we put together all the things we're paying for and put them into like the most basic terms

like I have a car give me two hundred fifty dollars. I mean car insurance like that's crazy to me. Don't even get me started on that Damn It's not fun moving is expensive anyways, we're abolishing anything related to having to pay for having a car Yeah, cuz like we're not making cities more walkable. So there's like no incentive to not Yeah. Cause like we're not making cities more walkable. So there's like no incentive to not. At some point when you think about like,

I don't know how I even have money to do anything. The amount of stuff we pay, it's so expensive to live. It really is. Like at one point, like you're working just to survive. Have you ever done the math, like me being home for like five days, I'm like damn that's kind of a lot of rent that I'm paying for that I'm not even there.

Do you ever do that in your head where you're like, it's actually kind of crazy that I'm just like paying for this place I know what that for a month of rent. Oh No, no, yeah before you so we could get the place we wanted. Yeah that yeah, that sucks that blows Yeah, so that was just a significant chunk of cash down the drain Damn, yeah, but it's in our heads like all right. This is the only place we were head over heels for yeah Yeah, and I guess room right just get it Air mattress, that's coming to be super narrow mattress. You don't you don't Sleep on the foot of the bed you can have it. Okay

Talk that you can I'll talk to Rachel. I'm sleeping on the foot of the bed like a dog She like a dog always wanted a dog. You want a dog? wolf wolf So you made it this far in the podcast so now it's actually gonna happen is me and Michael we're going to We're gonna get naked. Yeah, it's gonna be crazy Because there's naked here's the thing, I don't think anyone will have watched or listened this far into this podcast at this point.

They'll watch the clips I put out, but that's what I do this for. I mean, we could sit here and long silence bosses. We're not showing socks. We're not showing socks. Yeah. I've showed my left or right foot a little bit just because I'm crossing my legs, but

you know, we might as well just completely end the whole show regardless. I mean, you're going to end it anyways, right? Is this your penultimate episode? No, I want to keep this going. The fat chance is the brand is going to keep going. We're still going to do the golf outing. I'll do stuff virtually.

They're still going to be horny online. Exactly. Exactly. I might switch from a feed audience to like, don't know I might start might do like an OnlyFans or show my butthole or something Comment below if you think this should be a butthole podcast It'd be an interesting Like do I start it or wait actually audience comment what part of Cusky you want to see the most naked?

No, we should not do that. I think that's exactly keep that in don't edit that's fine but I think it's gonna be all feet no there's what to do you think is the best toe I here's the thing again with the serial killers and the and the parking police I don't get it I don't get the affinity to feet to feet I'm sorry like no offense to the community well they know I think feet are the most disgusting part of the human body. No offense to the fans. No, I mean, yeah, no offense, whatever. But I don't get it, like it's, I think I've gotten better, but I genuinely, like if you

put your bare dogs in my face, I'm, ugh. Yeah, there's nothing really, yeah, there's nothing. But, there's just something weird about it. Like, hands. Totally fine. Totally fine with hands. I can...if someone was like... Those are hot hands. I'd be like, okay, yeah, I get that. Yeah. I can get that. But feet, there's nothing symmetrical, really. They look like... I mean, hands aren't symmetrical either, but...

I think the best way to describe a foot for me is like if you ever needed to cut something Out of a piece of sheet of paper. It's the scrap like that piece. You're like this could be something Yeah, you're like I could repurpose this yeah, I could but like you probably won't And I get a feel like really important important but there are yeah I don't that's the only way I can think of feet it's just like scrap material yeah I don't yeah it doesn't make sense to me I think whoever made us hands for sure I get like hands I'm like okay yeah definitely get it those hands do things like feet don't do anything I don't know I pick a lot of things up with my two toes

Let's show the people Let's show the people really quick what your toes can do Absolutely wouldn't you love to see that audience Michael picking up barefoot picking things up with his toes What would be I just I really want to talk to the different fetishes I just I'd want to have I want like a panel and be like no I want to explain it But I want I want the origin of the fetish. Well, there's a I'm sure there's a Netflix Netflix talk you see

Give me where just now when I was talking I feel like that's what Judd lives his entire life sounding like what just like mumbling I'm like RAP Judd. Oh, yeah, he sadly passed away. He did pass away. I had it's funny He's like I asked him I was like are you good to film one day and he goes I'm in South Carolina, and then I just didn't reply. I was like all right. We're doing it without him Which I mean I had to can't I miss I he died in South Carolina It's really first for the second time in a year and a half. We missed a week Do they literally said you're leaving we don't want to do this anymore. Yeah

Yeah, they're they're done Jack. Where's Jack Jack quit Jack quit Jack check out a new job Jack actually No, what we're telling people is Jack did lose fantasy football. So okay. We'll cut the real part out we got a new job and did lose fantasy football so okay we'll cut the real part out of the real part we got a new job and he's okay it's based in somewhere else I'm not gonna divulge information for him and he goes I'm gonna have to travel a lot and if I'm back one week or one day out of the week I kind of have to give it to my wife not thrilled about it but I probably should yeah you know that makes sense you don't want to hang out with me because every

man yeah hates to be with his wife and in my America we're firm believers in that yeah I mean right shut up maybe that's gonna be the whole, that whole episode right there we gave, that's it. Yeah, um. Good night America. Yeah. I don't know what to tell you. Yeah, I also love the idea of like going rogue. Going rogue, like how so? Like going rogue like in an interview.

I'm gonna laugh if like none of this is recording. Is it recording? No, no, it's recording, we're totally fine. I just like to see the numbers. It's been a while. It's been a long time What do you mean going rogue in an interview? I'm not interviewing you know like just the idea of you like running for president and like you're getting fed stuffing your ear Oh, you're just like shut the fuck. Yeah

You what's the highest Level of office you think you could achieve if you devoted all your time to politics right now? I think about this like I Wanted to how high do you think I feel like mayor easy? I could definitely get mayor of also depends like if I was like in a smaller town easy of your hometown Mayor for sure what's after mayor though is my biggest question Actually, what is that? Here's the thing also. Um, I Don't know things about

Most things I know nothing about everything so senator or governor whichever one is easier to be that one Is the Senate Dude, this is what we need. Are Senators Governors? No, because two different words. Two different words, but sometimes they can be the same thing. But like, I think-

Because one's the House and one's the Senate. With the right- And I really still do not know to this day what the difference is. Also, I just found out- I just, so as of the day of recording this, this is the day after Jimmy Carter died. I know, Rachel told me that the other day. And yesterday, or two days ago, whatever day it was, it was recent, I didn't know he was still alive.

Neither did I. I had a look at what he did. I kind of forgot about him as a person in general. And he was one of those things where I was like, was he like an inventor or was he a president? It took me a second cuz Rachel goes Jimmy Carter died and I go, huh? Quite literally. Yeah. Yeah, he's alive Yeah, apparently the oldest living president

She goes, he made 100? Yeah, apparently the oldest living president. I mean, now he's dead, but he was the oldest president. The only two instances I've seen of Jimmy Carter dying is my girlfriend telling me, and your Snapchat story, I've seen nothing on the news. Nothing. No, I was getting a bunch of like, my liberal friends posting about him like... Jesus. I mean...

Still allowed on Twitter and whatnot I mean it was on Instagram so no bars held there but yeah I saw people were posting about him I'm like I should probably maybe just like think about who this person was what did he do as a president um so apparently he was a bad president but he was like kind of woke in like the 60s or 70s 60s woke is big different. Yeah, like he was like pro-civil rights like early Yeah, and also like anti Vietnam War I think okay, so he was like he was a Democrat. He was a Democrat All right, so I was like okay

Yeah, your dad probably tried to assassinate him My dad hates him. Yeah. All right, that's it. Your dad probably tried to assassinate him. My dad would have been... Six? Okay, I mean. No, no, six. Crazier things have happened. I don't know, when was he president?

I don't know. Let's look it up. 19... So here's what I do now. This is what I, I saw a meme, and so, Natu, the new Nosferatu movie came out on Christmas. What's that? It's a vampire movie. It's like the original like vampire movie. Like one of the original like adaptations. So the first Nosferatu came

out in like 1929. It was like a silent film, black and white. And then the second one came out in the 70s, I think. And now this one just came out this year. He died like a day after that, and someone just made, wow, Jimmy Carter really lived to see the premiere of every single Nosferatu movie. And I was like, that is kind of crazy in that context. What was his quality of life towards the end? Are you hanging on?

Okay, so here's the mic. You don't hang on. I know the minute you, you're like, I can't. I'm not hanging on right now. You're like, the minute I can't taste the tequila or get into a dive bar on my own. I was sick two weeks ago and I was like, like take me out.

Put me down, put me down. It's time to go. So I mean, here's the thing, I will say this, my great grandpa lived to be 106. I Feel like that's too long no no, but he was He was like going into town. He was like doing shit every day, okay? As long as you can move he was like yeah, he was like active was he walking at 106 Yeah, he was walking he was taking the bus into town. He was just like milling about hundred and six yeah, yeah

Yeah, he was walking, he was taking the bus into town, and he was just milling about. 106. Yeah, yeah. Someone who was letting, whoever was letting him into town was like, I hope he doesn't come back. So there's a thing like, there are certain towns in Mexico that are very close,

and they have a very small bus system. So you know the drivers, so like they would know him and the towns that you would go in are pretty small so you would just like know the people who are there. So it's like, I mean it's all your cousins? I mean no, I mean it's just like other people but pretty much. Second cousins.

How many cousins do you have? Over 100. Over 100? Yeah. Jesus, how many siblings do you have? I have two siblings. Damn, you guys be fuckin'. I have two siblings damn you guys be fucking I have two siblings

So my mom is the youngest of seven I think and my dad was like my mom was like the second youngest seven and my dad was also like the second youngest of I also like how I assumed your two cousins your two siblings would then produce cousins. That would be your nieces and nephews Yeah, so I have two nieces now. So like it's yeah, the family's huge. I have cousins that I don't know their names Yeah, I know all of my cousins. I saw them over Christmas and I was like, hey champ amigo How's it going? That's that's I do that and I don't have that many and there's other cousins that you have who you like Dap up and then you know you like

You're like Either one yeah, that's what's so nice about a big family is like I never really understand like white people Who like have small families and they hate their families? And they're like I hate going to go see my family whatever Or people who just like oh like I only have like a cousin who's like seven years younger than me So like if I go hang out with like my family Reason why people don't like it so you like you have a hundred people okay? I guarantee you there's probably ten of your cousins here like these guys kind of suck right no There's like ten cousins that I'm like yeah, these fucking rock yeah cool

But there's probably a bunch that you don't like right and that's what that's why I don't get a group imagine That's your only cousin like yeah the ones that you don't like that much or And that's what's that's why I don't get it. That group. Imagine that's your only cousin. Yeah. The ones that you don't like that much. Or the ones who are like significantly younger. Yeah. Because like they just don't like if all your cousins are somehow like all 12. For the record, I do love everyone in my family. No, he doesn't. Some of you, though, are boring.

And that's OK. I had this conversation before. I'm a serial unfollower on Instagram. You unfollow your own family like if you It's just so hard to talk about things like this sometimes um no if you don't post shit I'm not following you what's the point? I'll see you on the holidays, and we'll be fine. Oh family. I don't push it I Need to you post I mean you But I just like I don't find my life that exciting I Have this I have this like

Struggle is my so there is a there is a level of delusion There's like a part in my head where I'm like the podcast is like a business thing for me or I like I find something entertaining I'm like, okay someone might relate to a sentence or a topic we talked about But if I start posting something about what I did in my life, I don't care what anyone else did with their weekend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No one's gonna give a shit about mine. It's like, why? You're literally doing it to, cause, ugh, you just...

It bothers me. So here's the thing, I need attention. That's one thing. I clearly do too. However, like yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, and we're gonna be naked later The the thing is like I think there is a level of delusion So there is like you kind of want to feel that you might be important and like what you you think is like valuable But I also know that I'm pretty generally entertaining conversationally

Like when I'm with people, when I meet people, people do like fall in love with me. There are people who I meet one time and will like follow me on Instagram and they think that like everything I post is like gold. Yeah, those people are also delusional. They are delusional, but I love you and your support means a lot to me.

But also like when you get to, when you talk about the like the business aspect, I'm also a photographer, so like I have to post. But also when you talk about the business aspect, I'm also a photographer, so I have to post. You have to do that stuff. People need to know that you're active. There was, I mean, it's also part of it is how Instagram works now, where you have to post regularly

to stay on top of people's fucking shit. That did not, it did not used to be like that. You could post once a month. That's because they just a month more more shit out Yeah Yeah, I don't like and there are certain things. I'm like yeah I have to plan to post every fucking Tuesday at 11 a.m I actually felt like the planning the post has helped me a lot

So I'm like just get it all done Monday, and then I'll just I'm like here's the Thursday Here's the Friday one boom boom boom and I I forget all the time like all of a sudden. It'll be like Friday, and it's nine o'clock at night I go well. It's too late to post anything now I have done that now like with and I'll just throw something out there. I'll sometimes wake up like fuck it Yeah, with like now me and Sarah's podcast. I'm like oh fuck. I forgot to like make a clip Yeah, and that's like photo like it's a thing that like I can't just like spin up in the moment because like oh I need to Go be on my computer

Open up software make a clip where it's like photos usually cuz I have like my lightroom app connected It's like as long as I've downloaded the photos, which I usually download my stuff pretty quickly It's in there and I can like find something to post just to show people that you're fucking doing things That's what's so annoying about it. it I mean that's also the thing with comedy yeah like people think that like people post like their show dates so that people give them attention yeah but it's really just because so the show that you're working yeah I if I don't like I only have ever really gotten booked at times because other people have seen me doing shows

They're like, oh you can do shows now. So now I can ask you if you want to do a show. Yeah, that's fair But that's kind of like it's a double-edged sword. Like sometimes you can tell who's doing it for like Hey, I'm working. I think I think it's really funny when people post theirs After the month is over. Oh, that's my favorite. That's right. Like Louisa, you know Louisa She's a staple here in the Milwaukee comedy scene She will post like a month after the month is like I think she posted her like August dates in like Like not even September like October that it's funny and I'm like that's, because it's like, one, you are showing that you were working, but you're like, you really don't care.

I've never done it. I remember people posting. It only counts for, it only bothers the people in the comedy scene, because you understand it. The mics. The mics. Because you're like, I'm at X, Y, and Z. And it would be like like if you played a sport

and you put out your schedule for games but also included your practices. You'd be like, no, we're playing a lot. You're like, no, you're not. I have had this crazy idea of like, oh, I should post dates of shows that I'm photographing at and shows that I'm performing on. Because I do have this really really weird thing

Where people are like oh you're performing now, so maybe you're just don't want to take photos anymore Yeah, or like when people were like oh you're taking photos So you probably don't like care to perform and so that's always like no like I'm literally willing to do whatever as long as the Weekend's fucking open. Yeah, I'll do dates open. I'll do anything. Yeah I'll do I don't I don't like photographing and being on a show at the same time. I wouldn't mind it I feel like everything it would depend if I if I was like hosting and I went up first and I could just kind of get the performance out of the way and then just like photograph I'm I could do that. Yeah, but if I had to like go after someone or like there's a host

Because it's a regular hosted show and then you just do like a 10 after, that would stress me out. Fair, that's fair. Because I'm like, oh, I gotta make sure that I'm on for you to photograph and then also kind of like think about what I'm gonna do. Yeah, you can't really, you have to mentally check in real quick for your set. Yeah, and I'm someone who's like very anxious.

Like you know that I get like super anxious. So like I'm like freaking out. Like I'm asking people like a week beforehand, hey, just confirming how much time am I doing? And I'm thinking about that. You know exactly how much time you're doing. It's in the text messages. You know when you need to be there.

You'll still ask when you need to be there. You'll get there 15 minutes early. Oh, no, I just had this show a couple weeks ago where I was like, hey, I don't... I know that I'm on this show because clearly I'm on the poster and we've talked about this, but I can't find how much that I'm on this show because clearly like I'm on the poster and we've talked about this but I can't find How much time I'm doing like I don't know if I'm post if I'm hosting or what and then

Like right now like I only have like a solid like 10 to 12. Yeah, so I'm like up until then I'm like good and then I was like, hey, bye like how much time am I doing? He's like, oh 15 I was like, okay, and that was like the day of I'm like good and then I was like hey, how much time am I doing? He's like oh 15. I was like okay and that was like the day of. I'm like okay, now I'm panicking. Debra start talking slower. Now I'm panicking. It worked out in the end because I had like new material that I really got

to work out which was received really well and it's like something solid for me now but there was a good moment where I was like oh no, this is why I asked More than a day ahead and now I've waited too long and I'm scared now I'm nervous and I'm thinking about it the whole drive up. I've gotten like quiet in the back of the car I've gotten less and less anxious. I can tell if I have a Significant drive to her just any drive to a show

If I'm in complete silence in the car ride, I'll notice it with like five, 10 minutes before I get there, I go, you're thinking about this too much. And I'm like, you need to relax, like sit down. Like that's when I'm like, oh, you got here way too early. But if I've listened, if I'm taking a phone call, or listen to a podcast, your music, I'm like, oh, you know you're set,

you feel good, you know what you're doing. And it I'm like oh, you you know you're sad you feel good. You know you're doing And it should be like that every time like you should be well prepared and luckily enough like the show I did last Friday is basically is around the same set I was like cabin just yeah Extremely loose felt good. I was like yeah, there's a fun show. It's a good set, you felt good. You could tell by the audience. I heard that you did well, so.

Did you really? Yeah, I always ask. Who'd you ask? Here's the thing, I ask about all my friends' shows. Because I will ask you personally. I'm very caring. So I always ask my friends about shows. I'm also very honest about my shows.

About shows that I think might be tough for people. I just like asking people like, hey, how was it? And you were just like, it was good. And I'm like, I don't know if I believe that. So I asked for second and third opinions. Yeah. Yeah. It was, I think what I told you is like, it was a fun show through and through that

no one- I also was kind of drunk when you messaged me and I can't remember if I remember. Oh, I was in- where was I? It was a fun show through and through that no one I also was kind of drunk when you messaged me and I can't remember I know oh I was in Where was I it's Friday night? Oh, I was when I didn't reply to you once you're like alright fuck you man Yeah, I was really mad. I literally texted Michael. I was like hey. I miss you and He didn't Respond and then I said okay well actually never mind I said miss you too boo. Yeah after I acknowledged the fact that you didn't respond. I had it typed out. I hear the thing said

I I think you're a good friend. Um, I would never Here's the thing that is i'm insane. I'm an insane person like when I love my friends like I love my friends and the thing that I love to do is to be extremely wasted At three in the morning and call my friends and leave them voicemails. Yeah, I've gotten them. You got them. And there's two types of people and these are the two people who are closest to me in my life. It's the person who answers and is just like along for the ride. And then the other is people who I know very much care about me that I

love very much who do not respond for two days and then they're like you left me this like weird voicemail and like those are the two those are the two kinds of people that I have in my life yeah like why did you do that yeah I, I'm sorry, John. I just love loving my friends, and I'm not ashamed of that. No, it's good. In my America, you can kiss your homies on the lips, and it's fine. You can tuck your friends in at night in my America, and it's going to be OK. I'd love to be tucked in. It's one of my favorite things to do.

I did it to our friend Brianne at a party once. We were all still very much partying, and she like on the couch and it was like two in the morning We did not go to bed until six in the morning, but at 2 a.m. I'm like tucking her in And there's like a group of people just like all in this living room But I'm like tucking her in and she's like that was like the most beautiful she go to bed after you touch her Yeah, oh, yeah, that's fun. But I love to I love to talk people and I'm like the most beautiful experience. Did she go to bed after she talked to her? Yeah. Oh, that's fun. That's fun. But I love to talk people in. I'm like, this is...

I've never talked anyone in. I'm a big Irish goodbye person. Yeah, and I hate that. Yeah. I hate that so much. I'm like a very prolonged hug. I also, like for me, the Irish... I am a where's my hug kind of guy.

The Irish goodbye for me is in... I mean, it's my hug kind of guy. The Irish goodbye for me isn't, I mean it's 100% for me. I just don't want to have to explain why I want to leave. I don't think you have to, you can just be like. No, because sometimes I leave at just like, I'll just, the amount of times I have just disappeared from somewhere. No, you did this to me last time we hung out. You literally just.

I bounced, yeah. Well no, actually the last time it yeah, yeah No when we were at we were at finks yeah, and I went out to the patio to go smoke a cigarette in my defense I will wait a little bit of time and I go if they're not back in there was a moment where I was like I feel like we've been out here too long So then I was like we got to get back in because I'm like Michael's in there And I don't want to be all alone and then he's gone and then you were gone And it really late and it really and it broke my heart and I'm drunk. It broke my heart. I'm not just leaving I

I'll get to a point the night were so what I need around me is energy All the time because then I am caught up in the energy and I don't want that energy to disappear the minute that energy Disappears even for a little bit even for a little bit, I go, oh this could just be done. I go, yeah you're very ADD, like you need to be distracted. I need to be distracted. You need to be focused on a task. The minute there's a lull and I'm looking around, and I recognize, I'm like, I don't know anyone here, my other two friends are way too drunk in the bathroom, or like, I'm 25 minutes from home,

I'm good to drive right now, if I kept staying out I wouldn't be, then it's an Uber there and back. I will say, you are kind of fucked in the fact that you live out here in the boonies. Yeah, then I like, that's gonna be a nice part about where I'm moving is I'm dead center. Dead center.

That's perfect. So nice. I can throw a rock to ComedyWorks. Wow. Yeah, it's gonna be so fun. That'll be really fun. Yeah. Yeah, living at, when I put in the address here, I was like, that sucks.

I get it now. Yeah. I get it. It's like, when I was downtown, it happened way less because I was like, I could just walk up here. I'm like, that sucks. I get it now. Yeah. I get it. It's like when I was downtown it happened way less because I was like I wish I knew you. I wish I knew you when you were living downtown. Yeah. We would have been so fucking hype all the time. Yeah. It's fun and I liked it because I was like I just walk to my apartment. Yeah. Or like a short drive. Yeah. You feel much safer. Yeah. Like a low risk drive. I'm getting on the freeway. Yeah. It's I, I'll have a couple of beers

and I'll drive home from bars in my neighborhood, which are less than, I'm not driving more than five minutes. Yeah, I don't like, we've all had- We'll cut that out. My PR guy saw me that we gotta cut that out. Let's end this before we get worse. Let's end this before we get worse.

Let's go do exactly what you said. I actually love hitting people with my car. No, that's actually really sad. This back end of this is just going to be... Yeah, we can't say that. Alright, before we end, give me two New Year's resolutions.

Because this comes out January 2nd. When New Year's resolutions actually start, they don't start January 1st. Everyone's hung over January 1st No, yeah showing up to do anything trying not to black out tomorrow. Really? I'm trying to see if I can get to Rachel already told me she's gonna be sober for the wedding. So I am Going at it. I'm trying to say you're gonna that you're gonna call me. Yeah Yeah, I put in my two weeks last week too and so I'm like my

job means yeah yeah that's the best feeling so okay I did write down some stuff okay I wrote my ins and outs ins and outs my like what's in and what's gonna be out okay well I got before you this, Rachel and I do this for trips. And I actually think this would be fun. Coulda, woulda, shoulda is a 21. No. Oh. No. Of 2024, what's your top moment, your least favorite moment,

and something you wish you would have done in 2024? Oh, my god. Call it your coulda, woulda, shoulda's. I don't have a top moment. But I think that I got to do some really cool shit, like photographing comedy You do your I think your comedy career and photography career Exponentially went up. Yeah, like I now recognize kind of where the like I'm kind of like at a ceiling right now

And like where my skill level is for where I need to like I think you understand the business even more Which I think is yeah, I mean I love networking, I love meeting people, and, but yeah, I think to me, I've had a lot of really cool opportunities to meet really good people that I genuinely like being around, and that's really cool. I don't like being a lingering photographer who, like, there are comedians that I've met where it's like,

I could see maybe us talking for two minutes and that being the- After the show, yeah. Yeah, and that's kind of it. I don't like forcing things. But yeah, I got really lucky with a lot of shit this year with that. And so that to me was like my highlight for the year.

What's your low? My low? Oh geez. I really wish that... The thing about being unemployed is like you do think... But you get... You'll understand this. Yeah.

I know. Being unemployed for me was like really depressing because I'm someone who like needs to be busy all of the time yeah and when that when I was like suddenly just like forced to like be free yeah for hours on end I could not be creative I could not like I had like nothing, like, nothing. Like, nothing was coming to me, like, creatively. I couldn't write. Did you feel like if you went to that creative mode, then you weren't putting in effort to getting a job

that you were almost giving up on just working? No. Because the period I've had where I was unemployed, and I was like, if I'm not looking for jobs or applying for jobs I feel like I'm wasting my time. I feel like I'm being a bump So the idea of being creative is on the burn there was like that's not paying my bills there was aspects of that too where it's like I remember talking to my mom and she was like We were talking about things she's like well

Is that really gonna like pay what you need for you to like do what you need to do? And I was like no She's like well is that really gonna like pay what you need for you to like do what you need to do and I was like no she's like okay she didn't like tell me like don't do it but she was like I mean you kind of know yeah but no it wasn't even that it was just like I was just not not being busy stresses me out more than not I do hate there are parts of the holidays that I love because they're like busy, but then the lulls are like super deep and I don't like, like I think I watched maybe like 10 movies. Yeah, I was so busy this last week.

Over the last like five days. Where it's just like I don't. I get to a point where I'm like, I'm looking for the, I get so busy I'm like, I, I tell Rachel, I'm like, I need a day where I'm like, I wake up and I get so busy. I'm like I Told her I'm like I need a day where I'm like I wake up. I'm like yeah We mean you have yeah, not me and you have very Uh, I know because we have this very similar personality trait where we just like we plan a day off Yeah, we plan a day off and really we're still doing stuff

But it's like not Crazy. Yeah, like you're doing it all from home or you might go like a coffee shop to get stuff done But it's like you have a thing to do You can kind of just like take your time doing it. Yes So it's like not day days off, but they're like just slower Yes, I want like I need a slow day like I want there like I wake up like if I wanted to play a video Game in the morning. I could. Like to me that day is always like December 26th, should be like, when I was a kid, I'm like that's the day I get to really play

with all my toys. Yeah. Like that's what that day is for, but I'm still doing something. December 26th is kind of like the Sunday of the year. Yes, it is the Sunday of the year. Or as some Canadians call it, boxing day. Cool, fuck them.

I think, right? Fuck them. What's the one thing you wish you would have done? What is something? Oh, that's really hard I mean, I wish I would have fallen in love. Okay moving on what's no I Don't know like I wish

It just suck cuz when you're like unemployed you're like, well, I have all this time There's all this shit that I could do but then you just don't do it. Yeah Um, I do wish that I did run more this year Okay I really wanted to get back into that and I tried that time off and I had all that time off and look that's the Thing that compounds like that depression you're like, I really do have all this time But then you realize how demotivated you are. Oh, yeah, and it feels horrible Yeah, and I'm like, okay now that I'm busy again I guess with you know hour and a half of free time that I have I'll go you feel like you have more time now

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah So I mean I do wish I ran more. I yeah My ins and outs I'm not gonna do all of these because some of them are really crazy. I give me your give me your good ones my in in 2025 Superstition I need to be a little more superstitious. I'm done. I'm done kind of just like knowing shit in 2025 I don't know. I don't want to know shit. I just kind of want to be like, yeah, that feels right. Bring back the wonder. Like, why did it actually rain?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Divine intervention. That's in. Like, I don't want it to be... Science. You're done with science? No, I'm not done with science. I'm just like done trying to like, find the answers. Okay. So if there's a question, leave it. Yeah. Or like, let me fill in the gaps a little bit. Okay. Imagination. question leave it yeah yeah that's or like let me fill in the gaps a little bit yeah okay imagination yeah um and then I did put long distance running so that's my trying to that's gonna be my end that's my resolution okay and then out I do have stoicism like the stoics it's these are the guys who love to

Be like super minimal and they're like they're trying to leave all their like Worldly desires behind because they think it'll like just make them really good at making money These are like the hustle bros like to self help people. Yeah. Yeah, this is like the this is like the base Hope that's out. This is like the base of the self-help finance hustle bros is stoicism. Okay. That's what they live off of. Okay, I like that.

And I wanna get rid of that. I'm on that train with you. I wanna get rid of that. Just have a little. Class. Have a little fun. Yeah. You're not that much, you're not that,

I know a lot of them. You're not important. You're not that's a lot of important. You're not important A lot of people aren't that smart. You also don't need to make that much time for what it is that you do These guys specifically I think Let's see, I also have apathy out So like the you know, not caring. Yeah, I think we've done that too much. I'm like it's okay to care about things I agree. It's like it the whole being dumb when that was cool. Yeah. Yeah, no no and Airplanes, I think airplanes are out. I

Think there was like three airplane crashes all United. Let's just say United's done No, I think cuz it's all they're all the probably all Boeing planes. That's it. All you fall all Boeing Which is like most of the planes. I think they have like mostly a monopoly and then they completely gutted their quality You're not a big transportation guy No, no, that's that's your slogan bring back the bike bring back the bike yeah walk 2025 walk No, I think I think planes are I think people are gonna start realizing how like shitty some of this plane quality is now And they're gonna be like kind of scared to get on planes. Yeah, I

Think just airplanes safety is out. I'm alarmed by the amount of times in my life I've had to de-board a plane. I've never had an issue at an airport really because I well I fly I probably I've had a flight rescheduled once delayed by I think an hour Okay, so I just had another margarita at the airport chilies Every possible thing so I'm for fixing. Yeah, I feel like you do get fucked by the airport a lot. Yeah. I'm also not taking the middle of the day flights. I'm taking early morning and late night

where I feel like they don't care about those people. That might be true. Because those people are getting deals. I'm not doing early morning flight. I feel like a flight that is pretty. I have done early morning flight. I was really drunk at the airport at four in the morning a flight that has predominantly discounted fares purchased for it definitely is at a higher risk of being delayed cancelled or deborted or

Yeah, any if 60% or more of the flights purchased for that flight are full price tickets that flight is taking off without a hitch Okay, the last thing that I'll end on. In my America, the working class, you get to where you need to be on time. We're going to get you there. We're not delaying your flights. Your discounted tickets, they matter just as much. All right, we'll get there. Music
